My attempt to expose the nefarious Targeted Individual program: Letter to Attorneys

I am attaching a letter that I recently sent to several attorneys that are members of their respective Bar Association Boards/Bar Association oversight committees. I believe this is an extremely important post. Both for this blog and in order to shed light on the nefarious Targeted Individual program. Any of you who have read my blog entries in the past know that I don’t post often, but when I do it is usually a very long “mind/data dump”. This post is certainly no exception. Also, I am posting exactly what was sent to each of these attorneys (my letter to the AZGT board, 2 of my letters to Patrick Ledger CEO AZGT Electric Cooperative and Benjamin Engelby General Counsel AZGT Electric Cooperative). I believe these additions are important for context. The lawyers that received this letter, and their affiliations, are listed here.

My name is Nicholas B. I am a former employee of Arizona Generation and Transmission Electric Cooperative, Benson Arizona (AZGT). AZGT produces and transmits electricity and is therefore considered part of the US critical infrastructure. This is where my whole ordeal began.

I am writing to you today to express my concerns about the “critical infrastructure/energy industries”, your association with the “critical infrastructure/energy industries” and specifically two of your colleagues, both of whom are lawyers, Patrick Ledger CEO AZGT (Arizona Bar # 018462) and Benjamin Engelby General Counsel AZGT (California Bar #265428).

I have been a Targeted Individual for several years. I will refer to the Targeted Individual program and Targeted Individuals as TI throughout this letter. I am willing to bet that you already know what a Targeted Individual is, but in the case that some of you have not used the program that ensnares law abiding US citizens I will explain it to you. People that are put on a terrorist watch list (Terrorist SCREENING Database – TSDB) that are not terrorists are Targeted Individuals. You see, shortly after 9/11/2001 the US government started a terrorist intel program (or materially ramped up an existing program). The purpose of this list was necessary for protecting US civilians from another attack. However, after having vetted a lot of people that are not terrorists the government realized that there could be value in having innocent citizens that are on a watchlist that is outside of the scope of the judicial system. What was a program that started out with noble intentions turned into something much more insidious. Somewhere between then and now they realized that they continue to corral innocent American citizens as potential terrorists and use them for nefarious means. However, in order to implement this they would have to find a way to isolate these individuals. Thus the insidious smear campaigns that every TI will attest to. Being lawyers, whose association is a part of this insidious program the important thing for you to take away from this is that ALL OF THE FUNDS AND RESOURCES INVOLVED IN THE TARGETED INDIVIDUAL PROGRAM (or whatever the US government’s designation for this program is) have been misappropriated from a program that was implemented to prevent terrorist activity in the US.

Again, I was ensnared into this program by two of your lawyer colleagues Patrick Ledger (CEO AZGT Electric Cooperative; Benson, Arizona) and Benjamin Engelby (General Counsel and CIP department manager of AZGT Electric Cooperative; Benson, Arizona) along with the help of their connections in Federal law enforcement and possibly/likely through the use of InfraGard Home (infragard.org). I will say that it took me years to figure all of this out. Having done so, if you are an objective and facts based person, you will realize that my story is a case study on how this cowardly, nefarious program works.

Stress out an individual with whatever means necessary.
Said individual makes comments about the ineptitude, cowardice, egos and megalomania of a couple of company officers.
Said individual is put on a terrorist watch list (I believe the government refers to this as the TSDB-Terrorist Screening Database/AGAAVE program).
Once a warrant is obtained for the Targeted Individual, nothing is off limits. There is nothing the TI can do to stop the nefarious activity
Infiltrate the Targeted Individual’s home network, screen his phone calls, get his friends, family, neighbors and coworkers to help if needed, or use someone that is paid to pretend to befriend the target. All in an effort to coerce, infiltrate, and find anything that can be used to smear, discredit, humiliate, and outcast the TI. Take things that the Targeted Individual said out of context. Whatever it takes to fit the negative narrative against the TI.
Said Targeted Individual starts to put things together. He is fully aware that this is all connected to the Electric Cooperative that he works for. Not yet realizing that something like this is actually implemented and carried out through the Federal Government using US tax dollars, the TI tells the CIP department, Patrick Ledger (CEO AZGT), and Benjamin Engelby (General Counsel AZGT, and CIP department manager) exactly what he thinks of them and tells them to F-OFF. Which leads to confirmation of the TI being a “Threat or dangerous person” that must be watch listed, targeted further, gang stalked, and psychologically/physically harmed. An explanation of CIP can be found on the Federal Register website attached here… Federal Register :: Version 5 Critical Infrastructure Protection Reliability Standards
Continue the insidious smear campaign through whatever means necessary. After all, the goal is to discredit and isolate him as much as possible. Use his phones to track him and send embarrassing media of him everywhere he goes (Gym’s, Restaurants, jobs, neighbors…..literally everywhere he goes.
When I became aware that I was part of the Targeted Individual program and tried to alert others of this nefarious program, the gangstalking, discrediting/smear campaign, and physical attacks were all ramped up.
Talk to his neighbors, the places he works, the places he frequents and assure them that they are covered from any possible defamation or harassment suit. After all, these people are doing their civic duty in helping to identify and isolate a “terrible person” that is on a terrorist watchlist.

One of the ways that the Federal Government, and its various pseudo government partners are so successful at placing tax paying, no criminal offense having US Citizens that ARE NOT TERRORISTS on this watch list/database is through the use of the AGAAVE program (Anti-Government, Anti-Authority, Violent, Extremist). As I said before, a person does not have to harm or threaten to harm a person, equipment, infrastructure. He just has to be pissed off and do something like call out his CEO and General Counsel for their maniacal and cowardly actions. Instantly the government is infiltrating your network, tapping your phones, tracking everything you do/where you go and there you go another AGAAVE is added to “the list”. I have said this before and I am going to say this again now. I have NEVER been an AGAAVE, but there are several times in my life when I could have been labeled an IGIAC (Inept Government, Inept Authority Citizen), and that is not something that I am ashamed of.

Below is an X spaces interview of 2 ex-FBI agents that were attempted whistleblowers and have since been fired and black listed. It’s long, but worth a listen in my opinion. If you don’t want to listen to the whole thing, you should listen to the “AGAAVE” comments at the 20-21 minute mark. It explains how easy it is for the average American citizen to be targeted and potentially watchlisted. Although not specific to watchlisting, These guys explain that there is an actual quota for FBI employees to meet.

Further into the interview the ex-FBI agents talk about how sometimes there isn’t a case against the subject to begin with. Rather, the case is started, then built through entrapment and coercion. Really sad of what has become of Federal Law enforcement in this country.

I want to digress and ask a few questions for a moment.

Does the oath that lawyers take, not apply when a lawyer has the federal government do his “dirty work” (illegal and Unconstitutional deeds)? Is said lawyer still complicit/culpable?
Do you as a lawyer, and a member of this bar association agree with this program?
Have you ever been involved with or “used” a program like the Targeted Individual program and/or have you ever been involved in having someone placed on the Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB) or any other government “watchlist”?
Although you may not be a trial lawyer/defense attorney, do you believe in Due Process? Is Due Process not a Constitutional right for all Americans?
Because Due Process typically refers to a trial or court proceeding, do you suppose that if there is no trial then a person does not deserve any recourse?
Do you, as a lawyer, agree with trying to discredit, smear, isolate a person in every way, basically making a person a pariah is acceptable if doing so falls into a “gray area” that is outside the scope of the judicial system?
Why would Patrick Ledger offer me a severance after having been complicit to a nefarious smear campaign about what a terrible person I am? Did his forgiving Christian roots cause him to have a change of heart? I wrote three letters to both Patrick Ledger (CEO AZGT) and Benjamin Engelby (General Counsel AZGT) accusing them of their involvement in this activity and asking pointed questions. Do you suppose the letters, accusations, questions had anything to do with me being offered a severance package?
Was I hit with a healthy dose of “Havana Syndrome” because I refused to sign the letter of acceptance and declined the severance from Patrick Ledger? In addition, I was trying to alert the board members of AZGT Electric Cooperative of some shady, nefarious and what I believe is illegal activity that both Patrick Ledger and Benjamin Engelby were both aware of and involved in. Do you suppose me attempting to alert the board of AZGT Electric Cooperative had anything to do with the “Havana Syndrome” attack, gang stalking, and continued smear campaign?

Being a lawyer that has the resources to do so does not give you the right to upend every facet of a person’s life no matter how much you may dislike said person. Nor does it give you the right to have another entity ruin a person’s life while you knowingly and willingly allow this to happen without offering any recourse to said individual. I am pretty sure the above statements fall under the oath that you all took. Moreover, being a lawyer that is a member of your association’s board, you are obligated to ensure that ALL of your members follow your guidelines and uphold the oath that they have taken. Unless you are in agreement with the Targeted Individual program (TSDB/AGAAVE programs ), and you are in agreement that Targeted Individuals do not deserve any recourse; then you are also obligated to ensure that none of your members use a program like the one I have described for any personal vendetta or retribution. I believe the oath you took obligates you to ensure that EVERYONE that is ensnared or entrapped into this program or any similar program is given some type of legal recourse. I also believe you are obligated to investigate a matter such as this when a person comes to you and accuses any of your members of wrongdoing. To be clear, that is exactly what I am doing. I am accusing Patrick Ledger (CEO AZGT) and Benjamin Engelby (General Counsel AZGT) of inappropriate, illegal and Unconstitutional actions.

One of the things that have been used to get others to empathize and support this nefarious program has been convincing anyone that I have been associated with in any way that I am a deadbeat that has swindled a single mother out of money. I am stating again that this is a fabrication, lie, falsehood whatever – this is incorrect. I have helped that woman over the years of our “friendship” so many times – whether this was giving her money directly, auto repairs and maintenance, moving expenses, paying for and fixing things around her house. You name it, I have done it. Yes, she did lend me $5000 years ago, but I have probably repaid that amount 2-3 times over. I am not the type of person to “keep score” for money I have given/lent someone. Additionally, I rarely ever ask anyone for anything. Yes, I used to tell her I still “owe you”, and I always felt obligated to help her anyway I could. However, I am emphatically stating again that I don’t owe that woman one dime. When a person is targeted, that person’s phones and network are hacked “legally” after issuance of a warrant. I believe that once they had me on record stating that “I still owe you” this is one of the many things that has been used to discredit me. All while garnering support in the court of public opinion with their cowardly vigilante justice. Additionally a Targeted Individual will be put into scenarios to entrap/coerce the target to say or do something that can be used against the TI. I can recall a time when Suzanne asked me for $1500-$2500 dollars (I don’t really remember what the exact amount was). She said she needed the money because her ex-husband was taking her back to court if she didn’t change her daughter’s middle name to Gladys. No, that wasn’t the real reason. I honestly don’t remember the reason Suzanne’s ex-husband was supposedly taking her back to court for. I do know that his supposed reason was equally ridiculous. I can remember being angry, and feeling like I was under some kind of pseudo extortion. Anyway, my point with this is that I was angry and I was literally yelling at her that there is not a court/judge in this country that is ever going to acknowledge something so ridiculous. I believe the point of this conversation was to get some more dirt against me. Now I am not only a deadbeat that doesn’t repay his debts to a single mother and, I am actually angry when this woman comes to me for repayment. This is just a glimpse of how the Targeted Individual program works. It’s literally living in a world where it feels like everyone else knows the situation except for the TI. Nothing is off-limits, coercion, entrapment, twisting of facts and outright lies are all part of the game. The people behind the Targeted Individual program are extremely well versed in psychology, and sociology. They are very good at manipulating the Targeted Individual as well as influencing the herd of onlookers to believe that they are just in their cause.

With the same money that has been spent on making me out to be a villain and harm me over the course of several years they could have bought that woman a house, or paid for her daughter to go to college and medical school when that time comes. Not to mention that these funds have been stolen from/misappropriated from finding terrorists, preventing terrorism and protecting this country, and instead have been used to ruin every aspect of my life. If we were having this conversation in person, could you actually look me in the eyes and tell me that there are no vindictive intentions behind all of this? The reality is that this woman was nothing more than a pawn in their nefarious scheme, as was her daughter (her 2 year old daughter), as are the gang stalkers, as are all I have been associated with that have fallen for the smear campaign. In spite of being smeared as a person with bad character as well as being discredited in every facet of my life, it is important to note that I turned down a ~ $60,000 severance and refused to sign an NDA that was offered to me by Patrick Ledger – CEO Arizona Generation and Transmission Electric Cooperative (AZGT). If you combined the $60,000 of “hush money” as well as the amount of money/resources that have been used to discredit and harm me, could you buy that woman a house and pay for her daughter’s future education? WHO ARE THE REAL VILLAINS HERE?

What kind of a weak, coward of a person uses a 2 year old child as part of entrapment/nefarious agenda anyway? Which was just a small part of a misappropriated funds, nefarious campaign that took money from preventing terrorist activity in order to ruin every aspect of my life.

Coincidence you say? The plot to smear me as a person with little to no moral compass while knowingly allowing me to have a 18 month old-2 year old child in my care is NOT a coincidence. Rather, this is a fact. This would have to fall under some kind of child protective law. Patrick Ledger and Benjamin Engelby were not the ones implementing the tactics involved with me being a TI you say? They were both instrumental in me being enrolled/entrapped into this program, again NOT a coincidence. Mind you both of these men are lawyers, both are/were aware of and involved in this situation, both are, by membership, representatives of your associations and both are, at the very least, complicit in this nefarious and cowardly program. Again not a coincidence, but merely a fact.

Here is the crux of this issue, throughout the several ongoing years of oppression, I have been portrayed as a pervert, a “homely” loner that is incapable of having a social life, and a deadbeat that doesn’t repay his debts. All of this has been done to discredit me in literally every aspect of my life. I have been smeared and discredited to medical professionals that I have sought help for physical ailments that have been inflicted by the US taxpayer funded henchmen. Being lawyers, and presumably objective people, you have likely already realized this… Not one of the things that has been used to portray me as a terrible person has anything to do with me being a terrorist or having ties to any terrorist organization/terrorist activity. NOT ONE.

Additionally, there is not a living soul that loves this country and what it stands for more than I do. Which is why I will not relent in exposing this insidious program that your associations are tied to. Ask yourself, why are there literally thousands of law abiding citizens that have been vetted as not being terrorists that are listed on a database and into a program that allows them to be relentlessly persecuted without any chance for recourse? Afterall, it seems very counterintuitive/contradictory to non covertly or outwardly oppress a person or group if that person or group actually had bad intentions to start with.

Based on my personal experience as well as the experiences of other TI’s, I believe the Targeted Individual program is nothing more than a way to recruit/entrap/ensnare unwilling human test subjects. Unwilling because no one in their right mind would willingly sign up for this bullshit. The reason there are so many TI’s is because we are all unique, different personality types, different thought processes, different problem resolution tactics etc. Whatever the reason for studying/testing they want/need a diverse group of subjects. As an example, human beings all have a unique resonant frequency, like a fingerprint or DNA. If I were a psychopath (which I am not) and I had the resources or tools to send a frequency that would affect your equilibrium, balance, and render you to a incapacitated state, or I wanted to implant thoughts/doubts in your mind or better predict what you are thinking/planning I would be able to affect you in your home without affecting your spouse or children. The reason is that my “psychopath microwave equipment” would be tuned to your resonant frequency. That is to say that your brain would be the receiver to my “psychopath microwave transmitter”. And I just gave you the back of the napkin version of how Havana Syndrome and remote neural monitoring work. However, as far as you are concerned, the reasons for this insidious and cowardly program (that misappropriates taxpayer money from protecting this country from terrorism) don’t matter. What does matter is that 2 of your colleagues Patrick Ledger CEO AZGT and Benjamin Engelby General Counsel AZGT (and likely many more) are involved in this scheme and I have literally spelled out exactly how they are involved.

This is not a hill I am willing to die on. This is a hill that I am going to die on. I am fully aware of how this program works. I am also aware of the fact that once a person is overt to being a Targeted Individual, and that person could prove both who is involved and how this has happened to them that person is targeted for life. Of course, this is a moot point because the cowards behind the Targeted Individual program have figured out a way to not afford any type of due process or legal recourse for ANY of the THOUSANDS of law abiding citizens that are illegally placed on the TDSB. Some of whom, including myself, were placed on this list for nothing more than a personal vendetta by weak men that don’t have the balls to do their own “dirty work”. I may not be able to fight the government about this, but I don’t have to. I just have to point out the facts, and expose the organizations, associations and institutions that are involved in this. To be clear, I am stating: “Your association is one that is involved with this cowardly, nefarious agenda”.

I realize that this program is run by the government and /or contractors. However, as far as my experience is concerned, this all started at Arizona Generation and Transmission Electric Cooperative; Benson, Arizona (AZGT). The CEO Patrick Ledger is a lawyer, and the General Counsel Benjamin Engelby is also a lawyer. Patrick Ledger and Benjamin Engelby together represent the Electric Cooperative Bar Association, Energy Bar Association, the State Bar of Arizona, and the State Bar of California, and both are aware of and involved in this program in my instance. Patrick Ledger and Benjamin Engelby are both complicit and culpable. In addition to alerting your Bar Association Board’s, I have alerted the board of AZGT, the Touchstone Energy board, the officers of the NRECA board, and AZGT Human Relations Manager. Again, I may not be able to fight the Federal Government over this illegal, nefarious program, but I can alert any and all involved in this scheme. Being lawyers, I don’t need to explain to you about awareness, and precedent. Which leads to negligence, complicity, and culpability.

Again, I am one of thousands of law abiding US citizens with no criminal offenses that have been placed on a terrorist watch list. I have been vetted to the extent that it is known that I am not a terrorist and have no ties to known terrorists. All of this was funded by US taxpayers with funds that have been misappropriated from a program that was designed to find and stop terrorist activity. All in order to humiliate, discredit and annihilate my character and me as a person, as well as cause me emotional and physical harm. This has been nothing more than a personal vendetta from two weak, cowards of men. Both of whom are members of and, by extension, express the views and values of your Bar Associations. I was able to figure all of this out before knowing anything about the Targeted Individual/TSDB watchlist/program. After researching the Targeted Individual/TSDB watchlist/program I concluded that my story is a case study on how this program works. Furthermore, I can prove this if I ever get the opportunity to reveal this quagmire in a court of law or legal hearing.

Thrown into the smear campaign is that Patrick Ledger, CEO of Arizona G&T Electric Cooperative (AZGT Electric Cooperative) is hailed as a benevolent, forgiving person who offered me a severance upon my termination. Both you and I know the reason that I was offered a severance, and now you know why I declined it. The fact is that by signing his NDA I would have been giving up my ability to expose the insidious Targeted Individual program. As well as, Patrick Ledger’s and Benjamin Engelby’s awareness, involvement, culpability and complicity in me being ensnared into this program. Not only is Patrick Ledger not benevolent he is a megalomaniac coward that got caught in his involvement in an illegal Federal program that has misappropriated taxpayer funds from its original intent of preventing terrorism and, in my case, has been nothing more than a coverup for a personal vendetta that has been ongoing for years.

You see, this started by Patrick Ledger having some embarrassing dirt on me and he needed a way to use this against me without being directly tied to doing so. Thus, the ruse to stress me as much as possible at work in order to get me to say or do something that could entrap me into the AGAAVE/TSDB/Targeted Individual program. To be clear I never harmed any person, equipment or infrastructure, but I sounded off a lot about the chicken shit work environment, ineptitude of management and Patrick Ledger being a megalomaniac. A new AGAAVE was born. Now he could have your tax dollars and the government goon squad absolutely annihilate me, and that they did. After all, he was certain that with all the embarrassment, ridicule and physical/emotional trauma there was no way I would figure this all out. Even if I did, he was even more certain that I would tuck my tail and run. There is no way that I would ever stand up for myself….until I did. As an aside, if you take into account all the facts, you will realize that I had a very strong argument for my complaints about the chicken shit, ineptitude and megalomania. Now what could he do? What could his US taxpayer funded henchmen do? Step up the discrediting smear campaigns, give me a “healthy dose” of Havana Syndrome, remote neural BS, gang stalking, sleep deprivation, etc. as I have described. Naysayers may not always be right, but they are never wrong.

Allow me to sum up how ridiculous this whole thing is. The cowards behind me being ensnared into this program have misappropriated funds that could potentially stop another September 11th attack on this country. They have used (and continue to use) these funds to infiltrate and annihilate every aspect of my life. One of their reasons for doing so is because I am a deadbeat who didn’t repay his $5,000 loan to a single mother (which is a lie). Mind you that during this smear campaign this single mother entrusted me (several times) with the care of her 18 month-2 year old daughter while she was still in diapers. When I started to figure everything out and linked it to your two colleagues, Patrick Ledger CEO AZGT and Benjamin Engelby General Counsel AZGT, they fired me and offered me a ~$60,000 severance that I refused. After I attempted to expose this insidiousness I got Havana Syndromed and the smear campaigns and gang stalking increased. They could have just fired me and given her a bunch of cash instead. Which would have been a much more prudent use of funds that have been stolen from protecting this country from terrorists. Or that megalomaniac CEO Patrick Ledger (that fancies himself as benevolent) could have just fired me and offered her a job. After all, when I still knew her she had a decent job, but the pay and benefits probably didn’t match what AZGT offers most of their employees. I will say this again for the people in the back. This was never about writing a wrong or helping that woman. That woman and her child were nothing more than pawns in a personal vendetta from your two weak ass colleagues (Patrick Ledger, CEO AZGT Electric Cooperative and Benjamin Engelby, General Counsel AZGT Electric Cooperative) that didn’t have the stones to do their own dirty work.

While I am on my “soapbox”, I am going to explain something that may appear to be drifting off topic. If you are objective and can think for yourself, you will realize that what I am about to say is at the heart of my story. As I have stated many times, Targeted Individuals are unable to get ANY type of recourse for their oppression. Yet, if I were driving in traffic and a large commercial vehicle rolled into my bumper there would be a line of legal professionals at my door the next day vigilantly screaming for me to “get the justice I deserve”. THE “JUSTICE SYSTEM” IN THIS COUNTRY ABSOLUTELY FOSTERS THIS. The US government loves to use things like terrorism or oppression when referring to another country’s injustices. Right or wrong, this is done in order to garner support for the US government’s future actions against said countries. Yet there isn’t a blurb in the media for anything about other country’s female genital mutilation, child abduction and military enlistment, sex slavery, genocide and a host of other human atrocities. Is the reason for this because US citizens don’t care about these things? Is the reason for this because these countries don’t control a large amount of natural resources or the US government wanting a boots on the ground ally in a particular area? Both of which have a direct effect on the US GDP. Read up on the 1970’s oil embargo if you need a little better understanding. The US government is more than happy having an average citizen class of sock puppets. Hell, the US government needs a citizen class of sock puppets. Sock puppets don’t question because sock puppets are incapable of thinking for themselves. The US federal government has long been guilty of feeding the non-elitists what they want them to believe.

As I have stated many times, I have been ostracized, smeared and discredited in every aspect of my life. This has not been done because I am a bad person, or because I deserve this, and it has certainly not been done because I am in any way associated with terrorism. Contrary, this has been done to cover up a nefarious, cowardly program that steals money from preventing terrorism in this country in order to ruin a person’s life. Specifically, this has been done to hide the cowardly actions of two lawyers (Patrick Ledger CEO AZGT Electric Cooperative and Benjamin Engelby General Counsel AZGT Electric Cooperative) that are members of your associations and by membership express the actions, values and beliefs of your associations. The reality is that in spite of being physically and emotionally harmed, and made out to be a deadbeat, pervert and a terrible person in EVERY aspect of my life; I have turned down the “hush money” and refused to sign an NDA. I have never stopped trying to expose this insidious program that steals money from protecting this country from terrorism and that your associations are part of.

I started this letter informing you of the insidious Targeted Individual program. I explained to you how this program works and why I believe it was enacted to begin with. I detailed that this program is run by a faction of the US government in conjunction with the private sector. I asked you if you have ever heard of, used, or if you agree with this program or any similar program that entraps innocent US civilians, ruins their lives, and affords them no recourse once they are entrapped into this program. I also reiterated numerous times that all of the funds and resources used in this program have been misappropriated from their intended purpose of preventing terrorist activity in the US. I explained to you that there are two lawyers, your colleagues (Patrick Ledger CEO AZGT and Benjamin Engelby General Counsel AZGT), that are at the very least complicit in me being entrapped into this program. In addition to alerting several boards of industry groups/associations that are involved with the company, industry and specifically Patrick Ledger and Benjamin Engelby, I have now alerted you (25+) members of Bar Association boards and/or oversight committees that are associated with both Patrick Ledger (CEO AZGT) and Benjamin Engelby (General Counsel AZGT). The reason this is important is that you may have used plausible deniability in the past, and you may even attempt to use plausible deniability now after reading my allegations. However when this program is ultimately unveiled there will likely have been more innocent American citizens entrapped into this program. Some of whom will be entrapped for nothing more than a personal vendetta. Again, when this insidious program is ultimately unveiled, it will be known that there was a warning sent to multiple lawyers, who took an oath to uphold the Constitutional rights of all US citizens, that this program exists, how it works and that at least two of your colleagues are involved in this program. For the record, I am stating that I am precedent, AND THAT IS PLAUSIBLY UNDENIABLE.

To finish this, as I type this letter, there are likely several US law abiding citizens that have recently been added to or will soon be added to the TSDB/Targeted Individual program. These poor souls have no idea what is about to hit them, or how their lives will soon be turned upside down. They are clueless that a program this insidious can exist in the United States today. They are also clueless as to the fact that coworkers, friends, family, neighbors, literally anyone they are associated with will be used to help manipulate, entrap and coerce them. They are oblivious to the depravity that this program is capable of. The sleepless nights (both due to sleep deprivation as well as the stress that this program exerts on an individual), the gang stalking, the government sponsored Havana Syndrome, remote neural monitoring, the invasion of privacy. Some of these people will be entrapped into this program for nothing more than a personal vendetta, and some of them will be entrapped into this program with the help of you or your colleagues. I can’t explain how difficult life becomes when a person is enrolled/ensnared into this program. Initially, a person has to convince themselves that they are not going crazy and they are not a conspiracy theorist. After accepting that there is a nefarious entity and program that is designed to infiltrate and ruin every aspect of their lives, the Targeted Individual goes through several stages from anger to depression. The TI then looks for ways to expose this, and seeks help (in my case AZGT HR, harassment attorneys, criminal defense attorney, private investigator, AZGT Electric Cooperative board, NRECA Board officers, Touchstone Energy Board, and now the State Bar of California board Responsibility and Conduct Committee, the State Bar of Arizona board officers, the Electric Cooperative Bar Association board, and the Energy Bar Association Compliance and Steering Committee board). Finally the TI realizes that the “despicable brilliance” of this program is that there is no way to get any type of legal recourse. The TI then must decide if they want to be a doormat for the rest of their life or if the TI wants to fight this on their own. The TI’s that decide to fight this on their own will soon deplete their resources . After all, how can an ordinary citizen fight the federal government? Add to this that the Targeted Individual has no allies, regardless of how well meaning their friends and family are, they all buy into the smear campaigns. As I have said so many times, the people behind the TI program are extremely well versed in manipulating people’s perception/thinking. The psychological aspect is the core of this program. Last but certainly not least is the gang stalking and Havana Syndrome/frequency/electronic “tools” that are used to physically and emotionally harm the TI. The fact that more law abiding US civilians will continue to be ensnared into this program is why I will do anything I can to expose this insidiousness.

THAT IS WHO I AM.

As opposed to the spineless cowards behind the Targeted Individual program, I believe in transparency. If you would like to read more about my somewhat ridiculous story and ramblings you can read them here Embrace Failure – Learning to embrace my failures.

Full disclosure, I am going to post this letter and recipients, as well as all other letters I have written and the recipients of those letters on my blog.

Respectfully,

Nicholas B

Please use my mailing address below for any correspondence:

Below is the attached letter that was sent to each of the AZGT Board members.

Note: The use of Mr. Ledger in this letter is in reference to Patrick Ledger CEO AEPCO/AZGT

My name is Nicholas B. I am writing to you today to express my concerns about Patrick Ledger (CEO of AEPCO/AZGT Electric cooperative), and Ben Engelby (General Counsel AEPCO/AZGT Electric Cooperative). I was employed by AZGT Electric Cooperative from May 2015 – November 30, 2022. Prior to that I worked for the cooperative from June 2005 – December 2009. I was fired on November 30th 2022. I am including several documents along with this letter for reference to my concerns.

The last several years of my life have been beyond stressful. My name, reputation, and character has been smeared in literally every aspect of my life. As I stated in my letter to Mr. Ledger dated 9/7/2022…. I continue to believe that there is a smear campaign against me and this has affected every aspect of my life. I believe that this slanderous attack of my character has not only affected my reputation at the cooperative, but also has been disseminated to members of other cooperatives/utilities, several part time jobs I have held, several gym’s I have attended, any community/neighbor’s where I have lived, medical professionals that I have consulted, and in a “roundabout way” even stores and restaurants that I frequent.

Through all of this there were times where I was beyond stressed. I always knew Mr. Ledger and Ben Engelby were involved in this nefarious activity, I just couldn’t quite figure out how they were doing it. I thought maybe Mr. Ledger hired some kind of “Anti-PR firm” (like those political action committee type things you see on commercials around election times) and that yet may be part of it. However, that doesn’t explain why a big corporation (several of the gym’s and part time jobs are large corporations) would risk a harassment or defamation claim based on gossip or hearsay. However, if there is an active investigation from a legal/law enforcement entity then they are most likely covered from such a claim.

Both Mr. Ledger and general counsel Ben Engelby being lawyers are going to continue to avoid answering my questions and continue to deny any involvement in what has now been several years of this cowardly, nefarious activity. However, I continue to believe that all of this started with both of them (Mr. Ledger and general counsel Ben Engelby) and it has escalated over the years while Mr. Ledger and general counsel Ben Engelby both were involved in it.

Moreover, seeing as Mr. Ledger is the CEO of an electric cooperative that has ties to the Western Area power grid. I believe that he has the authority to request Federal law enforcement assistance if he deems necessary. I think general counsel Ben Engelby would be the “point man” on such a request as he is also the head of the CIP department.

I believe that Mr. Ledger and general counsel Ben Engelby have levered this authority to their advantage in order to not be culpable in this situation. In addition to this, I believe that there was some additional activity that Mr. Ledger and general counsel Ben Engelby were aware of and/or involved in that is also criminal as well.

We live in a country that has an immigration crisis, any town of over 50,000 people has a homeless opioid or methamphetamine addict on every corner, public schools have to worry students/children being shot, and yet this is a logical and prudent use of the American taxpayers funds??

As I stated above, I believe that CEO Patrick Ledger, and general counsel Ben Engelby are aware of and involved in some things that may be illegal/criminal, and are certainly unethical, immoral and inappropriate for two people that took an oath to be anything but that. They are culpable, and I have never been as dedicated to anything in my life as I am in exposing these two.

As a member of the AEPCO board I believe you have the responsibility to investigate this matter. Having received this information, to an extent, you are culpable as well. I have no interest in hurting your name or reputation (I have been on the receiving end of that for several years), but I will stop at nothing from exposing these two for their nefarious, malicious and, what I believe, are criminal actions.

I have asked direct questions (several times) to both Mr. Ledger and general counsel Ben Engelby about any investigation concerning me and their involvement in said investigation. They have refused to give me an answer. I believe there has never been any intention of giving me due process. Obviously if I were afforded any kind of due process there would be some sort of questioning or cross examination of both Mr. Ledger and general counsel Ben Engelby under oath, and they were never going to allow that to happen. Which is to say, for the last 5 years or so, my reputation has been damaged and my life has been utterly miserable. This has happened under the protection of some “legal investigation” which essentially has been nothing more than a “legalized smear campaign”. Which of course is illegal.

I ask you…in a country that affords due process to child molesters, serial killers, human traffickers and all sorts of other sordid criminals…How bad of a person do I have to be to not be afforded my right to due process by not one, but two lawyers?

I am now asking you, as a member of the AEPCO board, to give me answers to the following questions.

I continue to believe that there is an ongoing “smear campaign” against me. I also know that some of the things being used in this are directly related to the cooperative. Having said that, I am again asking: Is there now, or has there been in the past any investigation legal or otherwise concerning me, and also involving AZGT or AEPCO that you are aware of? Is it possible that there is now or has been previously an investigation concerning me involving Cooperative General Counsel Ben Engelby and/or the CIP department that you are unaware of?

Moreover, seeing as how this activity against me has been ongoing for several years, this would cover the period in which Mr. Ledger served on the board of ACES Power/ACES Power Marketing. Are you aware of any investigation past or present, legal or otherwise concerning me and also involving ACES Power or ACES Power Marketing?

For clarity, I am asking: To your knowledge, is there currently an investigation or has there been any past investigation concerning me and also in any way involving AEPCO, AZGT, ACES, or ACES Power Marketing (to include contractors, third party representatives, government or law enforcement entities)?

I have not been notified of any investigation that concerns me, or that I am involved in. If you have any knowledge of any investigation past or present, legal or otherwise that concerns me, I am requesting a copy of any documents, agreements, contracts, and findings that I am legally entitled to. I am specifically concerned with who authorized the investigation, on what grounds, and (if currently active) how long has said investigation been ongoing? In the case of a past investigation, how long did the investigation last?

This is the fourth time I am asking for a response to these questions. Considering what I have been through the past few years, I feel like I am well within my right as a citizen of the United States and the state of Arizona to ask for a response from you to these questions. I will continue to do so until I get a response.

This story is going to be told. How you as a board member, and the board collectively handle this situation is obviously part of the story.

If you care to investigate this matter internally, here is a list of names that I would start with. Assuming you investigate this matter internally, I am requesting a copy of the questions asked, to whom they were asked, and their responses to said questions. I may no longer be an employee of AZGT, but my concerns about this matter were raised well before I was terminated.

I expect that you will investigate this matter, and inform me of your findings. Please use my mailing address for any correspondence.

Below are the attached letters that were sent to Patrick Ledger CEO, AZCT Electric Cooperative and Benjamin Engelby General Counsel, AZGT Electric Cooperative.

Mr Engelby, being general counsel I am sure you have already seen this letter. I am sending this to on Monday 10/31/2022 for context.

To Patrick Ledger, CEO Arizona G&T Electric Cooperative 9/7/2022

Mr Ledger,

As you know, I have been an employee of AZGT Electric Cooperative for the past 7+ years, and before that I also worked for the cooperative from June 2005 – December 2009. I can’t say the past 7+ years have been the best experience of my working career. I have spoken with you in the past about your policy of recording/monitoring personal cell phones. I was specifically concerned about how the monitoring of personal cell phones, and the information gathered is disseminated to other employees, and people outside of the cooperative that have no business in my or others personal lives. You said you would review the policy and make changes to it. You also said that we would meet again after the changes were made to review the changes. You did make the changes to the policy, but you did not talk to me about the changes you made. You are the CEO, and this is your prerogative.

I am aware that we work in an industry that is governed by specific laws to protect the integrity of the electric grid. This being the case, I am also aware that I may not have the expectation of privacy for my personal cell phone. For the record, I am again saying that I disagree with my personal cell phone as well as my home network being monitored. Specifically, I disagree with the way information is disseminated to support one’s confirmation bias or support a narrative. To be clear: I do not authorize monitoring or recording of my personal cell phones or home network, and I certainly do not authorize information gathered to be disseminated to those that are not authorized or have no business in my personal affairs.

Several years ago, I did something on the cooperative property that I couldn’t be more embarrassed about. I also know that this instance was “caught on camera”. I realize that you have an obligation to protect the reputation of the cooperative and provide a safe environment for your employees. This instance has caused a tremendous amount of stress in my life. Not only because I am extremely embarrassed about it, but also because this along with things I have said on my personal cell phone both on and off of the cooperative property, and possibly things that have been gathered by monitoring/hacking my home network have been disseminated to other members of the cooperative, members of other cooperatives/utilities, several part time jobs I have held, several gym’s that I have attended, and any community and neighbors where I have lived.

To be clear, this has been going on for years. As I stated earlier, I realize that you have certain obligations to your employees and the cooperative. However, at this point, this activity seems very nefarious in its intent. To put it bluntly it feels much more like oppression than harassment. I am not sure if there is another entity (legal or otherwise) that is involved with this. I am also not sure if your intentions started out as being noble, and then changed to vindictive or if that was the intent from the start. What I do know is this has been going on for YEARS! I am writing this to tell you to cease and desist from any activity that could be construed as damaging to my reputation or character. Obviously, if there is a legal entity involved in this ridiculousness then there is only so much you can do. However, a picture or video of me that was taken on your property being sent to any and every place I go in the community seems to me like an ulterior and nefarious motive. Combine this with the gossip and what has amounted to a complete smear campaign of my character, and this has much more to do with a vendetta than it does with “protecting the cooperative and its employees”.

I have reason to believe that the location from my cell phone is being used to alert people in close proximity via text message with the above mentioned picture or video. It is also possible that the picture or video of me is being sent from my own phone without my knowledge or consent. Again, I do not agree, condone or authorize any of this activity. Regardless of who is doing it or how far you try to go to separate yourself from this nefarious activity, some facts are undeniable.

The picture and or video came from cooperative property.
There is absolutely nothing but malicious intent in doing this.

I am stating this again: Cease and desist with any activity that could be construed as damaging to my reputation or character. Again, I do not authorize you, any member of the cooperative, any third party, any other persons in any way connected to you or the coop, or representatives of yours or the cooperatives to monitor my home network or personal cell phones in any way that is not in accordance with the federal laws or the laws of the state of Arizona. Also, I expect that any information legally obtained to only be disseminated to authorized persons in accordance with federal law and the laws of the state of Arizona. If I have any sort of right to know or freedom of information of anything concerning me that has been gathered by you, any cooperative member, any of your representatives or other investigative parties that I am legally entitled to, I expect you to notify me of this and allow me access to any and all information.

Finally, if there is another entity involved or has previously been involved in any investigation concerning me that you are aware of, I formally request a copy of the investigation, or any document or contract legal or otherwise that involves me. I have not been notified of any investigation that I am involved in. Again, if you are aware of any such instance I am requesting that you furnish me a copy of any documents, agreements or contracts that you may have related to this matter. Furthermore, I know that you have a strong relationship with ACES power or ACES power marketing as I believe you recently served as a member of their board. If you are aware of any entity that is currently or has previously been involved with ACES power in any investigation concerning me, legal or otherwise, I am again formally requesting a copy of any agreements, contracts or investigation related to this matter.

To Patrick Ledger, CEO Arizona G&T Electric Cooperative 10/31/2022

Mr. Ledger,

On 10/11/2022, C H (HR Manager) responded on your/the cooperative’s behalf to my letter to you (dated 9/7/2022). In doing so, she stated that to your knowledge you are unaware of anyone at the cooperative accessing my personal cell phone or computer. She also stated that you are unaware of anyone outside of the cooperative accessing my personal cell phone or computer. Thank you and C again for your response.

I am including the original letter of my concerns dated 9/7/2022. I have highlighted the areas that I continue to have concerns about. I feel like these areas were not addressed in your response letter. In addition I will reiterate these concerns in more clarity here.

Moreover, seeing as how this activity against me has been ongoing for several years, this would cover the period in which you served on the board of ACES Power/ACES Power Marketing. Are you aware of any investigation past or present, legal or otherwise concerning me and also involving ACES Power or ACES Power Marketing?

Seeing as how you have now had almost two months to form a reasonable answer to these questions, I would like an answer within 14 days (two weeks) from the date this letter is received.
