FBI WHISTLEBLOWER TED GUNDERSON
Abstract on Ted Gunderson and Source Material on Child Sex trafficking and Government Corruption from "The Only Democracy in the Middle East," Bear Mountain Press
Abstract (from The Only Democracy in the Middle East, Bear Mountain Press)
…From late 1979 until his death in 2011, Ted Gunderson, retired Special Agent-In-Charge and head of the Los Angeles FBI, worked tirelessly to expose satanic ritual cults in the United States, bringing to public attention the existence of a secret widespread network of groups who kidnap children and infants and subject them to ritual abuse and subsequent human sacrifice. “Based on my research,” Gunderson said during a 2007 BleepinTruth podcast, “there are about four million plus practicing satanists in America today—about one and a half percent of the population... . There’s fifty to sixty thousand human sacrifices per year in this country” (https://rumble.com/v4k7wsz-interview-with-ted-gunderson-on-the-bleepintruth-podcast-2007.html). An in-depth lecture and slide presentation on the satanic cult network given by Gunderson, banned almost entirely from the internet, can be viewed at the following link: https://rumble.com/v4k7ski-ted-gunderson-exposes-the-illuminati.html).
One of the cults, he said, is called the Finders, operated by the CIA in Washington, DC. The abstract of an investigative report compiled by Gunderson on the group reads thus:
“ ‘The Finders’ is a CIA front established by the CIA in the 1960s. Members are specially trained government kidnappers with top clearance and protection in their assigned task of stealing children, torturing and sexual[ly] abusing them, sometimes involving them in satanic orgies, bloody rituals and murder of other children with the slaughter of animals.
“ ‘The Finders’ are known sexual degenerates who use a fleet of unmarked cars to grab targeted children from parks and school yards. Many times using their own child members as decoys, they lure the innocent children away from the crowd close to their vans. The adults inside grab the children, drug them and transport them to a series of safe houses where they await their ill fated end. They are then used in ceremonies. The children are either murdered and sacrificed for body parts, or they are sold as sex slaves, auctioned off at various locations in the northern hemisphere. In the past they have been auctioned off in Las Vegas, Nevada and Toronto, Canada, Lincoln, Nebraska, Michigan and Houston, Texas. Marion David Pettie, the leader of the cult, is an identified pedophile, homosexual and CIA officer. His son was a former employee of a CIA proprietary firm, Air America, which was notorious for smuggling drugs, destined for the United States out of the Golden Triangle into Saigon during the Vietnam war.” (https://open.substack.com/pub/bearmountainpress/p/the-finders?r=1b1xk9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true)
On the broader subject of American shadow government and its origins in the Illuminati, Gunderson asserted that the cults are controlled by America’s most powerful heads of state in collaboration with every branch of U.S. government, the military, national security and law enforcement. Citing their exposure by JFK in a speech he gave ten days before his assassination, Gunderson states in the BleepinTruth interview that JFK’s death was an inside job:
“Ten days before he was shot and killed he warned the American people that there was an enterprise, a criminal element enterprise in our government operating covertly, and he said ‘before I leave office I’m going to clean this group up,’ and they’re still operating. You see, our government has two elements. There’s the overt and the covert. I was a member of the overt group. The covert group involves assassinations, drugs, kidnapping children, and so on and so forth, ‘black operation’ as we call it.”
“Right after WWII,” Gunderson continues, “our government brought in nine-hundred plus German scientists who were involved in mind control programs. The CIA began operation of this program—they called it MK Ultra. These nine-hundred plus German scientists were infiltrated into hospitals, the government, universities and so forth... . It’s a combination of drugs, hypnosis and torture, and they have multiple personalities... . [Covert government] has infiltrated law enforcement, they’ve infiltrated prosecutors offices, they’ve infiltrated the judicial system... . They’ve infiltrated virtually every level of our society.” Still, said Gunderson, most personnel employed in these systems do their jobs in good faith.
Cathy O’Brien, a victim of MK Ultra and a sub-category of the program called Project Monarch, lectured extensively on the subject. She described her exploitation as a sex slave and CIA courier for senior statesmen and high-placed government officials, including presidents Ford, Reagan and George H. W. Bush. A highly informative lecture she gave on October 31, 1996 at the Granada Forum can be viewed at the following link: https://rumble.com/v4kf1ql-cathy-obrien-at-the-granada-forum-october-31-1996.html
A recipient of multiple awards, including Law Enforcement Officer of the Year Award from the AFL-CIO, Gunderson was the stuff that true crime heros are made of. However, it was only during the second half of his professional life as a retired private investigator that he discovered the existence of the satanic cult network, a realm of crime blacker than anything he had seen in his twenty-seven years with the FBI. He first encountered it in late 1979 when he began work as a defense investigator in the post-murder trial litigation of an Army medical doctor named Jeffrey R. MacDonald who was falsely convicted a few months earlier, in August 1979, of the 1970 murders of his pregnant wife and two daughters. The murders, as Gunderson proved in the course of his investigation, had been committed by the members of a satanic cult, but were attributed by the prosecution to MacDonald as part of a drug cover-up. In affidavits obtained by Gunderson from a member of the cult named Helena Stoeckley, the latter confessed to her involvement in the murders and related in detail the activities of an international drug trafficking operation run by prominent American figures who used the cult to smuggle drugs into the U.S. in plastic bags placed in the cavities of dead GIs brought back from Southeast Asia on U.S. Army planes. These public figures hadn’t given their approval for the home invasion, but after the fact ordered the prosecution to put a lid on it and railroad a conviction for MacDonald in order to prevent information about the drug operation from surfacing during the trial.
As for the cult’s motive for the attack: At the time, military drug addicts who were friends or members of the cult were seeking treatment with MacDonald at a civilian hospital in order to hide their addiction from the army and receive an honorable discharge. But instead of keeping their information confidential, MacDonald passed it on to the army.
In his efforts to get the case reopened, Gunderson also submitted incontrovertible forensic evidence to the court, but was stonewalled. “The DNA evidence right now is available and nobody will review it. They refuse to have a hearing on it,” he says on The BleepinTruth podcast. The show host, Chris Krimitsos, comments, “So this man will spend life in prison,” to which Gunderson replies: “Well, not if I have anything to do about it. I’m writing a book on that particular case right now as we speak. Hopefully, because of my book we’ll be able to get enough publicity or enough pressure that somebody will take a look at this case.” What became of the book is not known, but there is no sign of it on the internet.
MacDonald is in prison to this day. Stoeckly died at the age of 31. One of her three co-assailants, Greg Mitchell, who also confessed involvement in the killings, died at an early age as well, under suspicious circumstances.
Gunderson brought MacDonald’s story to the public and the response was overwhelming. Victims from all over the country turned to him and opened up with their own stories. “People just came from all parts of the country to me,” Gunderson recalls in the BleepinTruth interview. “I was like a magnet, like a sponge. People from the West coast, East coast, South, Midwest, they came and gave me the same basic story about satanic cults.” He hit the ground running, handling cases as a private investigator alongside his newfound mission to inform the public on the satanic cult network and U.S. shadow government. He lectured extensively and in the course of his work gave more than a thousand interviews on radio talk shows and national news broadcasts, including CNN, Larry King Live and Geraldo.
He would work for clients even when they couldn’t pay, often putting out large sums of his own money on their behalf. In the MacDonald case he logged thousands of hours on the case, most of them unpaid. “I use my retirement money to expose this corruption,” he said in a 2011 OYMInternetRadio interview, in the midst of his battle with cancer (https://rumble.com/v4ilzk6-ted-gunderson-on-open-your-mind-oyminternetradio.html). A bulletin posted on his website shortly before his death six months later states that one of his final requests was to raise funds to pay off his debts to people who loaned him money for his medical treatment.
His archive of documents was huge. Among other archival projects, he compiled a massive dossier containing all of his famous investigative reports exposing rampant government crime and corruption, which he put on a DVD and distributed to the public free of charge.

“[T]hey were taking children out foster homes, orphanages, Boystown,” he said in one speech (n.d.), in reference to the infamous Nebraska Child Sex Trafficking Ring exposed in 1988, run by former leader of the National Black Republican Council, Larry King, and patronized by multiple prominent Nebraska political figures and businessmen. “These are two-, three-, four-year-old children before they entered kindergarten... . In addition, the children claimed that they were flown into the mountains where they were involved with adults in robes, black robes, chanting, candles. They talked about the brown babies who were cut up—actually sacrificed, and flying them to Washington, DC for sex orgies with prominent people, including Congressmen, Senators and certain people in the White House. And the reason these Congressmen and Senators vote for these stupid bills is because they’ve been, many of them, set up and framed through sex and drugs... ” (https://rumble.com/v4k7thr-ted-gunderson-on-nebraska-child-sex-trafficking-ring.html).
The “stupid bills” Gunderson is referring to are addressed by him again in the OYM interview: “[T]hat’s why we have laws like the Patriot Act passed, which is absolutely idiotic, taking away our constitutional rights and civil liberties. Because if they don’t vote that way they’re obviously going to be exposed—in more than one way, if I may say.”
The Nebraska Child Sex Trafficking Ring is the subject of The Franklin Cover-up, published in 1992 by former state senator and attorney, John DeCamp. It is also the subject of Conspiracy of Silence, a documentary that was scheduled to air on the Discovery Channel on Tuesday May 3, 1994, but was yanked off the air at the last minute due to pressure from influential members of Congress who ordered the cable industry to stop the airing and destroy all copies. Almost immediately, the rights to the documentary were purchased by unknown individuals. A copy of the video was furnished anonymously to John DeCamp who made it available to Ted Gunderson. The film can be viewed at the following link: https://rumble.com/v4jc4y0-conspiracy-of-silence.html.
During the same period, the McMartin Preschool case, involving the ongoing sexual abuse of over 450 preschool children between the ages of 3 - 5, drew national headlines. All the defendants were acquitted, but Gunderson, who was retained after the trial to investigate the case, succeeded in proving their guilt and exposing the cover-up. A video on the subject can be viewed at the following link: https://rumble.com/v4kfyq3-ted-gunderson-and-the-mcmartin-preschool-case.html.
Gunderson had blasted Amercian Deep State out of the water, but it came at a heavy price. The one-time iconic crime buster was summarily ousted from establishment circles, including the Society of Former Special Agents of the FBI, and became the target of a sustained smear campaign. The first version of his Wikipedia biography from 12.15.05, which can be viewed on Way Back Machine, reads thus:
“ ‘Ted Gunderson’ [sic] is a former FBI agent who released reports describing treachery, sadistic savagery, degradation, abuse, and murder inflicted by intelligence agents of the United_States_government against its own citizenry, especially children. Suspected misinformation agent, possibly in the employee of the United_States_government. It is claimed he poses as a conspiracy theorist spokesman, publishing outrageous and incorrect information on common conspiracy theories in order to discredit them and those who purpose them.”
In the BleepinTruth interview Gunderson tells of an FBI disinfo agent named Stew Webb who posted outrageous defamations about him on the internet, such as the claim that he was “kicked out of the FBI for practicing satanic ceremonies in the Federal Building.”
And he was constantly harassed. “I’ve had eighteen to twenty people planted on me, trying to find out what I’m doing and all that sort of thing. So I’d be very careful making new friends,” he says in the OYM interview. His websites and email accounts were continually hacked. Between 2008 and 2011 he changed domains twice; at a certain point he announced on his home page that his email address would no longer be available to the public because his accounts kept getting hacked.
In addition to being ostracized, maligned and harassed, Gunderson received multiple death threats and became the target of at least six assassination attempts, a number of which he describes in the OYM and BleepinTruth interviews. In the latter he recounts:
“I was living in Las Vegas a year ago last May, and I was being poisoned. They were shooting poison in my car, they were shooting poison in my condominium, in the air. There’s no question because I went ahead and had testing. I had arsenic and cyanide in me... . I’m an investigator, I know when things are not right and I’m going to find out why. And so I moved overnight from Las Vegas to a small town in Nebraska, 296 people, Clatonia, Nebraska. And they followed me there. They’re still out there.”
Similar incidents are related on his websites, such as an attempt to poison his son, Ted Gunderson, Jr., on April 30, 2008; and the repeated targeting of his webmaster, Clarence Malcolm.
Undeterred, he pressed on. Sharp as a whip, he had a phenomenal memory that was on full throttle even in the last months of his life when he would give phone interviews from his sick bed, such as the OYM interview. Always self-composed and even-keeled, he was a man of deep faith in G-d, who attributed his narrow escapes from death to Divine intervention.
Ted Gunderson died on 7.31.11, at the age of 82. Captures from his now expired websites corroborate the official announcements that he died of bladder cancer. However there are strong grounds for the suspicion that his illness was chemically induced. In addition to the ongoing attempts on his life referenced above, in his last public engagements he mentioned being subjected to what he called “the smell of arsenic.” When heated in air, arsenic oxidizes to arsenic trioxide, releasing fumes that have an odor resembling garlic. His physician, Dr. Edward Lucidi, stated that Gunderson’s fingers were turning black, a characteristic symptom of arsenic poisoning. And bladder cancer has been linked to arsenic poisoning in research studies. A National Library of Medicine article from 8.11.22, titled A Comprehensive Transcriptomic Analysis of Arsenic-Induced Bladder Carcinogenesis, states: “Arsenic (sodium arsenite: NaAsO2) is a potent carcinogen and a known risk factor for the onset of bladder carcinogenesis” (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9367831/).
In plain words, Gunderson was, in all likelihood, murdered.
Ted Gunderson is the highest placed law enforcement officer in American history to become a whistleblower. He was at once a senior federal official and a maverick. He had the weightiness of an FBI top gun coupled with earnest conviction and the intractable determination of an idealist on a lone crusade. In crossing the line that separates public servant from private citizen, he taught us that there really is no difference between the two when the sanctity of human life and the duty to safeguard it are one’s moral compass; that whether one is an FBI chief or an independent citizen advocate, the mandate to expose abuse is the same. In his storied lifetime he fought crime in both capacities with equal courage, integrity and grit.
The day is near when justice will be done and shadow government will vanish, but Ted Gunderson’s endeavors towards that end and the torch of freedom he passed on to us are a legacy that will burn bright forever.
