Hi all

Kevin Shipp is a former CIA agent and friend of mine. He recently appeared in a TV special about the Marine barracks bombing in Beirut, Lebanon that killed over 250 people, mostly marines. I contacted him since I too was involved in that incident. The best way to view this email is immediately scroll down to the bottom to see how events unfolded. I'll follow up on this email with more information on my struggles in dealing with the attacks. This is heavy stuff. You can view his book at http://www.kevinmshipp.com/ .

Onward, Marty

Hi Marty.

Yes my faith is the center of my life. It has enabled me to stand against the current post-Constitutional government.

What you did was turn the light on government corruption, by simply being honest. To the tyrannical government we have, especially the secret government I talk about in my book, you became a threat to exposing its control over private citizens, and especially its violation of the 4th Amendment. The Intelligence branches of the federal government (including the FBI) have a well refined, systematic process to destroy American citizens who try to expose it.

First, they destroy your reputation, labeling you as disgruntled, paranoid, extremist, etc. Second, they destroy your income and finances, especially if your income is derived from them. Third, they destroy your family, knowing the pressure will affect your marriage, children, faith and friendships. They maintain an internal file on you that becomes perpetual. They monitor you for years.

They do not destroy you quickly, that would be too obvious. They destroy you slowly, making it look like you did it to yourself. They have used the same process secretly, on several whistle blowers, hundreds of times over the last 40 years. They have gotten good at it.

The only thing they cannot calculate or control is your faith. They try to destroy that by destroying everything you hold dear. They know if they cannot, you are unstoppable.

In my case, they broke into our house twice, bugged our phone, followed us and our oldest son, raised the interest on my credit union loans, withheld my retirement funds and more. I caught them each time, tape recorded them, had photographs and witness statements.

So, they invoked the state secrets privilege, then sealed our case (which was open source doctor's diagnoses of toxic exposure, environmental tests, witness statements of intimidation, etc.), so not even our Congressman could see it - then threatened me, my wife and even my children with jail if we talked about the case to anyone.

After hours in prayer, I realized the only way to fight them was to expose them publicly, ignoring the threats and fear they use to keep their power over innocent citizens.

See the Haggman and Haggman radio interview with me for details of the story.

They are the criminals. They have broken the supreme law of the land - the US Constitution. They must be held accountable.

So Marty, always remember it was not you. It was about them trying to destroy anyone who exposes them.

True freedom is having no financial connections to the government. It is painful at first, but it frees you from control.

Above all, keep your faith in God. It is the anchor of your soul.

I now travel and speak on the Constitutional Crisis in America. What they tried to silence is being shouted from the roof tops.

Glad to hear you are doing well with your invention. If I can help you in any way, just let me know.

Best regards,

Kevin Shipp

Hi Kevin

Saw the Lebanon bit on the AHC a couple of nights ago. You pretty much confirmed what I had learned for various source. My 2047UC ultrasonic stethoscope grew out of that incident.

After our luncheon meeting many years ago I came away with the feeling that you are a man of God and for that very reason I turn to you. No one, repeat no one has had the fortitude to tell me what heinous act I committed in 1975 (re: the FBI) that would cause the destruction of my business, my reputation, my family and my faith in the United States of America. Perhaps you can shed some light on this issue. To me, it is absolutely inconceivable that the harassment continues even after 40 years!

I supposedly retired in 2009. That lasted about four months and I then opened an LLC. I'm puttering along making what I made before and selling it on eBay. That way I can eliminated the hassle of purchase orders and invoices. I'm sure you heard about my book and now I'm busy writing my memoirs.

Onward, Marty

Marty,
Wow what a great post I wish I could meet both of you. Inspiring and all the hardships and adversity that has been over come and still influencing younger generations. I was talking about you the other day and all the good and the way you have assisted the bomb tech community over the years. It might be of little comfort for all the things you and your family has been through but you have and are still making your mark on active bomb technicians.  My brother in-law was interviewing a young former army bomb tech for a construction a few weeks ago.  Times are hard so jobs are scarce and he mentioned he was an Army bomb tech and my brother in law said wow my sister is married to a former army bomb guy.  He asked my name and Dan (Brother in law) said Duke Vega.  Apparently this guy came out of his chair and said "  Holly Shit.  Duke is a Rock star in the bomb tech world".  Needless to say it felt good when I got the call. I would never be where I am at without mentors like you, Butch Lainten, Scott Bartow and Chris Ory, and numerous other that have shaped me and my craft over the years.  I also spoke about you when the guy I am working for currently started talking about being a HAM radio operator. I immediately said " So cool a good friend of mine is an ARRl member".  He was flabbergasted that someone my age even knew what ARRL was and I had the whole antenna wave propagation theory somewhat down. One of these days I will get a chance to sit down and have a beer with you and that will make it into my book,  
Take care my friend and if you need anything let me know.
Duke
