Letter to U.S. Secret Service: 5/15/95

Philip C. Leadroot

Special Agent

U.S. Secret Service

Washington Field Office

Washington, DC 20036

Dear Mr. Leadroot:

I feel duty bound to advise the U.S. Secret Service that if you had conducted a search of my residence you would have uncovered the following document: pages A25, A26, A29, and A30 of The Washington Post of Thursday January 21, 1993, reporting on the inauguration of President William J. Clinton. I have enclosed the subject document.

I want to assure the U.S. Secret Service that I saved the excerpt only because I admire President Clinton and wanted to retain a souvenir of the inauguration. On January 20, 1993 I videotaped television broadcasts of the inauguration of President Clinton; I later erased that videotape, in early December 1994. On Friday November 6, 1992 I videotaped television news reports concerning the selection by President-elect Clinton of Mr. Vernon Jordan to head Mr. Clinton's transition effort; I sent the videotape to my sister.

I want to advise the U.S. Secret Service that I performed none of the above-described acts with the intent to commit a crime of violence directed at any protectee of the U.S. Secret Service or anyone associated with a protectee. You are aware, however, that my medical records on file at the George Washington University Medical Center expressly state that I may have lied to conceal the severity of a psychotic mental disorder.  Jerry M. Wiener, Chairman of the Psychiatry Department and President of the American Psychiatric Association has reviewed this matter and has expressly refused in writing to alter the position that I lied in order to conceal a psychotic mental disorder, which, according to the Government of the District of Columbia, renders me potentially violent and an imminent threat to persons in my environment.

For your additional information I enclose a tape recording of a telephone conversation I had with my sister, Mrs. Estelle Jacobson, on August 19, 1993. I discuss with my sister a meeting I had earlier that day with Dr. Wiener. At the meeting Dr. Wiener stated his belief that my illness was of such seriousness that it had rendered me a "psychological cripple.” I also discuss with my sister the fact that my then treating psychiatrist, Suzanne M. Pitts, M.D., had considered having me admitted to GW as an in-patient, and had considered prescribing the drug Clozapine, an anti-psychotic medication of last resort that is administered to the most severely-disturbed patients.

It may be a matter of concern to the U.S. Secret Service that this same “psychological cripple” has in the past:

(a.) engaged in monitoring the activities of President William J. Clinton and one of his close associates;

(b.) been determined by his former direct supervisor to be possibly armed and homicidal;

(c.) been alleged (in sworn statements made under penalty of perjury) to be an imminent threat to persons in his environment by two attorney managers (Dennis M. Race, Esq. And Laurence J. Hoffman, Esq.) of one of the largest law firms in the country;

(d.) been determined by the Government of the District of Columbia to be potentially violent and an imminent threat to persons in his environment; and

(e.) been determined—with the approval of the President of the American Psychiatric Association—to have lied on psychological testing to conceal the existence of a debilitating mental illness.

Also enclosed is a computer disc that includes a recent letter that I wrote to my psychiatrist (dated May 8, 1995) as well as a slightly updated version of my autobiography, which I had previously provided to you. 1/

I remain available to assist you in any way possible and, as I stated previously, am willing to undergo polygraph testing or any psychiatric testing or evaluation that you might find helpful. My current treating psychiatrist at GW, Dr. Georgopoulos, continues to maintain that my illness is of such severity that it would be inappropriate at this time to pose even a very general inquiry to my former employer regarding the possibility of reinstating my employment, even under the relatively liberal provisions of the Americans With Disabilities Act. Such are the tragic ravages of mental illness.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

RE: Freedman v. Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld

Dear Sir:

Enclosed for your information with respect to the above-referenced matter is a letter dated October 17, 1994 to U.S. Attorney Eric H. Holder, Jr.

I am currently receiving disability benefits from the U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA), which has, to date, paid out approximately $24,000 to me. The SSA's disability determination was based in part on sworn statements filed by my former employer, the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld (“Akin Gump”), with the D.C. Department of Human Rights that the employer had determined that I suffered from a serious mental disorder and was potentially violent and unemployable.

You will observe that not a single one of Akin Gump's allegations concerning my mental state or my conduct as an employee can be substantiated.

The District of Columbia Department of Human Rights has determined that Akin Gump's termination decision was lawfully based on the employer's determination that as of October 29, 1991 I suffered from a serious mental disturbance, was paranoid, potentially violent, and unemployable. I had submitted a persuasive body of documentary evidence to the D.C. Department of Human Rights that Akin Gump's allegations were false. The filing of false sworn statements is a felony under D.C. Code Section 22-2513 (and a misdemeanor under D.C. Code Section 22-2514). The D.C. Department of Human Rights, in an apparent posture of “hear no evil, see no evil,” turned a blind eye to the possibility that Akin Gump had filed false sworn statements, thereby shielding Akin Gump's attorney managers form a possible felony investigation.

I direct your attention to the following list of allegations made by Akin Gump or its supervisors or staff, none of which can be substantiated:

1. Akin Gump claims that it spoke with a psychiatrist, Gertrude R. Ticho, M.D. who advised the firm that my thinking was dominated by paranoid ideas of reference and that I might become violent.

--Dr. Ticho expressly denies ever having had any communications with Akin Gump of the nature alleged by the employer.

2. Akin Gump claims that it spoke with an unnamed counselor at the firm's Employee Assistance Program provider, Sheppard Pratt Preferred Resources, concerning my mental state.

--Sheppard Pratt has no record of any such communications. Further, the nature of the communication alleged by Akin Gump is totally inconsistent with Sheppard Pratt operating policy.

3. Akin Gump claims that my conduct as an employee was violent and disruptive from at least March 1990 through October 1991, a 16-month period.

--My personnel file does not contain a record of a single oral or written reprimand during the entire three-year period of my employment. Further, all Performance Evaluations issued during my tenure rate my performance above-average or outstanding.

4. My direct supervisor, Mrs. Christine Robertson, advised her employees on the day of my termination that she believed I might be armed and homicidal.

--The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia found in November 1993 that Mrs. Robertson had engaged in a pattern of racially offensive conduct.

5. Akin Gump claims that it investigated my complaint of harassment, and that my allegations could not be substantiated.

--A coworker, Mrs. Patricia McNeil, who worked in the firm's litigation support department where I was employed, said she was not even aware that any investigation had been conducted. She said that management had not spoken with her, and she did not know of any other employees who were contacted.

6. Akin Gump claims that coworkers stated during the course of the investigation that they found my behavior disruptive and frightening.

--A coworker, Mrs. Patricia McNeil, states that she viewed my conduct as quiet and professional; that she had not formed the belief that I suffered from mental illness and knew of no other employees who had.

7. Akin Gump claims that it formed the belief that my allegations of harassment were the product of my paranoid thought disturbance. It is noteworthy, therefore, that Akin Gump, in enumerating the supposedly paranoid incidents to the D.C. Department of Human Rights, omitted the three incidents that involved my supervisor, Mrs. Christine Robertson. Thus, Akin Gump consistently omitted purportedly probative evidence of my supposed paranoia where that evidence related to this one supervisory employee. Why?

8. In about August 1989 a coworker, Stacey Schaar, said to me: “We're all afraid of you. We're all afraid you're going to buy a gun, bring it in and shoot everyone. Even the manager of your apartment building is afraid of you.” (It was on August 1, 1989 that Akin Gump promoted me to full-time employee with benefits). I believe, based on a conversation I overheard between two legal assistants (J. Robert Tansey and Christine Lambert), that Stacey Schaar was terminated for gross misconduct in about May 1990. Yet, in a termination chart prepared by Akin Gump for the District of Columbia Department of Human Rights, Akin Gump omitted any reference to Stacey Schaar and any details concerning her termination in May 1990. Why? (See Akin Gump's Response to Interrogatories and Document Request, dated May 22, 1992, at Attachment H).

Psychological testing performed by the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences of the George Washington University Medical Center in May 1994 failed to disclose that I suffer from any mental disorder. The test evaluator concluded that I might have lied on the testing to conceal my paranoia; there is absolutely no evidence that I lied on the testing. William Fabian , Ph.D., under whose supervision the testing was performed, assigned the diagnosis “Paranoid (Delusional) Disorder.” Jerry M. Wiener, M.D., Chairman of the Psychiatry Department and President of the American Psychiatric Association states that I am paranoid and that my paranoid thinking has left me a cripple. During the first few months of my psychiatric treatment I was treated for (apparently nonexistent) manic-depressive disorder, not paranoia.

What in God's name is going on here?

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

Dear Mr. Holder:

The enclosed letter to Mr. Harold F. Baker, dated June 29, 1995, is forwarded for your information.

I believe the Office of U.S. Attorney should have grave concerns about the actions of a government agency in rubber-stamping a mental health determination by a private employer, which mental health determination might, in some future criminal proceedings, impair or preclude the prosecution of a crime of violence.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

GW Psychiatric Treatment: Letter to University Trustee 6/29/95

June 29, 1995
3801 Connecticut Ave., NW
#136
Washington, DC  20008-4530

Harold F. Baker, Esq.
Of Counsel, Howrey & Simon
Trustee, George Washington University
1299 Pennsylvania Ave., NW
Washington, DC  20004

Dear Mr. Baker:

Further to my letter to you dated May 22, 1995, I offer the following observations that may be of interest to you both in your capacity as Counsel to the law firm of Howrey & Simon and trustee of the George Washington University.

So bizarre is the world created by the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, the Government of the District of Columbia, and the George Washington University Medical Center that were the Office of U.S. Attorney to prosecute me for a crime of violence, consistent with the determinations of the aforementioned parties, an attorney acting on my behalf might realistically enter an insanity plea that might be proven with the following facts:

The enclosed letter dated July 25, 1992 from Howrey & Simon Legal Assistant Administrator Laurie Jones Burk establishes that I had the belief that I was employable as of July 1992, ad therefore tends to prove that I lacked the mental capacity to appreciate the fact that I suffered from a severe mental disturbance that rendered me unemployable and a serious threat to persons in my environment.

But, you may ask, how can this be?  How could an attorney use evidence of my mental competence to prove mental incompetence?  Keep in mind that comprehensive psychological testing performed by the George Washington University Medical Center failed to establish that I suffer from any mental disorder.  Yet my medical records expressly state that the actual failure to establish a diagnosis is evidence that I lied on the testing: I exhibit a tendency to engage in psychotic denial and mendacity.  My attorney would certainly subpoena my current treating psychiatrist at GW, Dr. Georgopoulos, to testify that I lack the mental capacity to appreciate the fact that I am paranoid and, in his phrase "incapacitated."  Also, a written statement prepared by Jerry M. Wiener, President of the American Psychiatric Association and Chairman of the George Washington University Medical Center Department of Psychiatry, expressly characterizes my concerns about the above-referenced test report as a "regrettable preoccupation," thereby suggesting that my belief that I am not incapacitated is itself evidence of mental illness.

Even more remarkable, were I to commit a crime of violence directed at the President of the United States, my attorney might subpoena Vernon Jordan, an Akin Gump partner and close friend of President Clinton, to testify as to the reputation for truth and veracity of my former direct supervisor, Christine Robertson; Akin Gump managing partner, Laurence J. Hoffman; and/or Akin Gump partner Dennis M. Race--three individuals whose prior written statements attest to my lack of mental competence.

Of course, this remarkable trio comprises one court-adjudicated racist and two attorneys who may have offered perjured testimony in a prior Title VII proceedings.

Such is the world according to Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, the Government of the District of Columbia, and the George Washington University Medical Center.

In all seriousness, it is clear from the foregoing discussion that false or intentionally misleading statements relating to my mental capacity have the potential of constituting elements of the crime of obstruction of justice, and might therefore subject their makers to felony prosecution.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

N.B.: The foregoing statement is offered solely to illustrate hypothetical legal implications of facts purported to be true by the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld; the Government of the District of Columbia; and the George Washington University Medical Center and is not intended to communicate my intent to commit any act.  This letter incorporates by reference the Statement to the Office of U.S. Attorney, dated April 24, 1995, disavowing an intent to commit a crime of violence and reaffirms the veracity of all statements contained therein.

RE:  Freedman v. Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld

Dear Sir;

The enclosed notarized letter dated May 17, 1993 addressed to the D.C. Department of Human Rights (DOHR) is forwarded for your information.  I submitted the letter to DOHR during the pendency of that agency's investigation of my unlawful termination complaint.

The letter names various attorneys, supervisory personnel, and others who are familiar with my most recent employment history.  The named persons may provide you with additional information regarding what the Government of the District of Columbia and the law firm of Akin Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld have characterized as my homicidal tendencies or potential for violence.  DOHR may have contacted certain of the individuals named in the letter during the agency's investigation, in which case DOHR will maintain notes of its investigation regarding such contacts.

You will observe that while I was employed at the law firm of Hogan & Hartson, I was engaged in a long-term project under Mr. Elliot Mincberg, an attorney who later left Hogan.  The billing partner for that particular client was Mr. David S. Tatel, now Circuit Judge Tatel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.  I do not know whether Judge Tatel became apprised of my reputation while I was employed at Hogan & Hartson, during the period September 1985 to February 1988.

For your additional information, the name of the managing partner at Hogan & Hartson during the period of my employment was Mr. Bob Glen Odle.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

For the Chapter: My Life as a Sitcom!!

District of Columbia Department of Human Rights Finding of Fact 4(h) in employment discrimination complaint Freedman v. Akin, Gump, Hauer & Feld:

(h) On or about early August 1991 an employee, Lutheria Harrison, who at that time was assigned to a work cubicle adjacent to the Complainant, was talking to another employee, Beatrice Spates, about her July telephone bill, emphasizing the word at her desk, stated in a markedly audible tone of voice the children’s rhyme, “liar, liar, pants on fire.” On another occasion a brief time later, Lutheria Harrison, upon entering Chris Robertson’s office to attend a weekly Litigation Support staff meeting, sighed the Yiddish phrase, Oy, veh.”

Complainant told Messrs. Race and Lassman that he interpreted the word “July” as a homophone for the phrase “Jew Lie,” and that these anecdotes suggested that some of his coworkers may have had an anti-semitic animus. Mr. Lassman requested that Complainant provide additional anecdotes that might suggest an anti-Semitic bias by employees. In response to Mr. Lassman’s question, and not on Complainant’s initiative, Complainant mentioned that the mascot of the Litigation Support group was a pig. (At this point Mr. Lassman turned to Mr. Race and said, “Dennis, you’re not Jewish. Jews aren’t allowed to eat pork.”)

In point of fact, there is alternative authority under which Jews are permitted to eat pork.  The matter is clarified by the following dialogue from the Seinfeld episode, "The Airport."

Flight Attendant: Well, the only meal left is a kosher meal.

Elaine: Kosher meal? I don't want a kosher meal. I don't even know what a kosher meal is.

Passenger 1: I think it means when a Rabbi has inspected it, or something.

Passenger 2: No, no. It all has to do with the way they kill the pig.

Passenger 1: They don't eat pigs!

Passenger 2: They do if it's killed right-- under a Rabbi's supervision.

RE:  Freedman v. Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld

Dear Mr. Holder:

Enclosed for your information is a letter to the U.S. Secret Service (dated June 12, 1995) that forwards to that agency a slightly revised version of my letter to the Office of U.S. Attorney, originally dated June 8, 1995.

The revisions to the letter dated June 8, 1995, a copy of which is enclosed, highlight certain factual omissions in Akin Gump's pleadings filed with the D.C. Department of Human Rights, the consistent pattern of which omissions suggests an intent to conceal.

Revisions to the letter dated June 8, 1995 are highlighted, and are found on page 2 (at paragraph 6); page 6 (n. 1 and n. 2); and APPENDIX A.

I note, incidentally, that my medical records on file at the George Washington University Medical Center attribute my paranoia to an inability to appraise complex fact patterns.  A psychological test report prepared in about May 1994 and approved by staff psychologist William D. Fabian, Ph.D. states that I become easily confused when faced with a complex fact pattern and become "lost in a maze of facts."  It is this same report that states that I lied on psychological testing in order to conceal my paranoia.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

RE:  Disability Claim No. xxx-xx-xxxx

Dear Mr. Muffolett:

This will advise the U.S. Social Security Administration with respect to the above-referenced disability claim that I presented oral argument before the District of Columbia Court of Appeals on October 13, 1994 in the matter of Gary Freedman v. District of Columbia Department of Human Rights, Docket No. 93-AA-1342.  The appellate panel comprised Judges John M. Ferren, Julia Cooper Mack, and John A. Terry.

A decision by the Court in favor of the District of Columbia Department of Human Rights will affirm that agency's finding that as of October 29, 1991 I was paranoid, potentially violent, and unemployable (and, by implication, affirm the determination by my former direct supervisor, Mrs. Christine Robertson, that I may be armed and homicidal and a threat to persons employed at the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, including Mr. Vernon Jordan, a close friend of the President of the United States and Mr. Robert S.

Dear Mr. Baker:

I am forwarding the enclosed documentation for your general information both in your capacity as trustee of the George Washington University--and therefore as a co-fiduciary of Mr. Robert S. Strauss--and as a partner of the law firm of Howrey & Simon.

Attorney managers of my former employer, the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, have filed sworn statements with the District of Columbia Department of Human Rights that my belief that I was a victim of job discrimination and harassment while I was employed at the firm, during the period June 13, 1988 to October 29, 1991, was the product of a severe (paranoid) mental disturbance that renders me potentially violent, an imminent threat to persons in my environment, and unemployable.  Further, my former direct supervisor at Akin Gump determined, at the time of my job termination on October 29, 1991, that I might have been armed and homicidal.

I am currently undergoing psychotherapy at the George Washington University Medical Center Department of Psychiatry.  The enclosed letter (and attachments) to Jerry M. Wiener, M.D. chairman of the Medical Center's Psychiatry Department, is self-explanatory.

On a related issue, I want to inform you that during an approximate four-week period in about August 1985, I was employed (as an employee of the temporary agency Personnel Pool) at the law firm of Howrey & Simon in the capacity of an agency-supplied legal assistant.  If Howrey & Simon has any information that I engaged in any violent conduct or that I brought firearms or weapons of any kind onto the premises of Howrey & Simon, I request that you so advise the Office of U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia in connection with the enclosed declaration, dated April 24, 1995.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Does Mobbing Cause Posttraumatic Stress Disorder?

Previous research has documented that a variety of anxiety, depressive, and psychosomatic symptoms are present in a substantial portion of mobbing victims. This study aimed to explore the frequency of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among mobbing victims, and to investigate how PTSD was linked to pertinent psychometric scales.

METHOD:

We recruited 20 mobbing victims and conducted the Structural Clinical Interview (SCID) to assess PTSD according to DSM-IV criteria. The trauma criterion was homogeneously defined as mobbing.

RESULTS:

55% of our entire sample had a current PTSD, and 70% suffered from severe posttraumatic stress symptoms according to the Impact of Event Scale. Using multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), we found that mobbing victims with a current PTSD tended to demonstrate higher levels of stress and depressive symptoms, and less quality of life (SF 36 Short-Form Health Survey), especially in terms of bodily pain, compared with those without a PTSD diagnosis. No significant differences in personality factors (Freiburg Personality Inventory) between mobbing-victims with and without PTSD were evident by multivariate analysis. Univariate statistics, however, revealed that mobbing-related PTSD showed a trend towards higher scores in social orientation and somatic complaints. There was no general evidence that mobbing victims with a PTSD used more often negative and positive coping strategies (SVF - Stress Coping Questionnaire). However, they showed a tendency to employ control strategies, avoidance, social withdrawal, and cognitive preoccupation.

CONCLUSION:

Posttraumatic stress disorder subsequent to mobbing can occur frequently. PTSD therefore should be specifically considered in routine care.

Dear Mr. Baker:

Further to my letter to you dated February 13, 1995 I enclose two additional computer discs that contain a collection  of letters I have written to my current treating psychiatrist, Dr. Dimitrios Georgopoulos.

Keep in mind that the letters were written by an individual diagnosed by Dr. Georgopoulos as suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, one of the most severe and disabling of mental illnesses.

The letters--written as they are by a severely disturbed individual who can barely reason or join two or more words in a sentence--are difficult going.  However, the letters may be a significant factor in a possible future criminal prosecution should I be charged with a crime of violence such as homicide or the assassination of a high federal official consistent with the risk determination of senior management of the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, including Laurence J. Hoffman and Dennis M. Race, Esq.

Philip C. Leadroot
Special Agent
U.S. Secret Service
Washington, DC  20036

Dear Mr. Leadroot:

Enclosed are copies of two letters, dated April 9, 1994 and August 27, 1994, that I sent to former U.S. Representative Thomas S. Foley, Democrat of Spokane, Washington.  The purpose of the letters was to request Mr. Foley's assistance in obtaining the results of psychological testing that were on file at a mental health facility in Spokane, Washington.  At the time of the communications, Mr. Foley was serving as Speaker of the House of Representatives and, under the 25th Amendment, third in line to succeed to the office of President of the United States.  I assume that Congressman Foley, as House Speaker, was a protectee of the U.S. Secret Service.

I want to direct your attention to the fact that the enclosed communications refer to several rather disturbing issues: that the Government of the District of Columbia determined that I suffered from a severe mental disturbance that rendered me paranoid and potentially violent, and that my former employer had determined that I was a potential "mass murderer."

To the best of my knowledge, Mr. Foley did not bring the enclosed communications to the attention of the U.S. Secret Service, notwithstanding the fact that they appeared to have been written by someone who might be extremely mentally unstable and dangerous.  The attachment to one of the letters discusses President Clinton.

This matter raises an issue that falls squarely within the investigative jurisdiction of the U.S. Secret Service, namely, why a protectee would fail to alert the Secret Service to the fact that he was receiving a series of disturbing and peculiar letters from a mentally ill and possibly dangerous individual.

You may wish to note that Thomas Foley is a close personal friend of Robert S. Strauss, founding partner of my former employer, the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld.  On January 12, 1995, Akin Gump announced that Mr. Foley, who had lost his seat in Congress in the 1994 general election, would be joining the firm as a partner.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

A Drug that Treats Anti-Semitism?

Supposedly, coworkers were afraid of me at the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld where I worked as a paralegal from March 1988 until I was fired in late October 1991.

After I left the firm, my direct supervisor told her employees that she was afraid I might return to the firm to carry out a homicidal assault.

Earlier, in August 1989, a coworker said to me: "We're all afraid of you.  We're all afraid you're going to buy a gun, bring it in and shoot everybody."

Reportedly, the legal assistant administrator and legal assistant coordinator told a senior firm partner that I was difficult to work with, that they were afraid of me, and that they couldn't work with me.

In response to an unlawful job termination complaint I filed against the firm the employer alleged that coworkers reported that they were afraid to work near me.

I believe that coworkers' reactions to me were the product of anti-Semitic animus and groupthink.

Oddly enough, recent research has shown that the affect that underlies racism (and apparently other forms of ethnic prejudice) is fear.

Oxford researcher Sylvia Terbeck gave volunteers the beta-blocker propranolol. The volunteers scored lower on a range of psychological tests designed to reveal any racist attitudes than a group who took a placebo. The region of the brain called the amygdala is involved in processing emotion, including fear, and many psychologists think racist feelings are driven by the fear center. Propranolol inhibits the amygdala.

Arguably, statements by coworkers that they were afraid of me at Akin Gump may have constituted an unwitting admission that their feelings were motivated by anti-Semitism!

Significant Moments: A Mother's Belief in her Son

          At the risk of displeasing innocent ears I propose . . . 
Friedrich Nietzsche, Beyond Good and Evil
               . . . that the mother of a creative man who achieves prominence has conveyed to her son a feeling of great "specialness" in herself, which she has passed on to him. It is as if she says, "You have something unique, better than your father, and you get it all from me."
Margaret Brenman-Gibson, Clifford Odets: American Playwright.
          Freud recorded an anxiety-ridden dream of his mother's death, from his seventh or eighth year; correspondingly, she too once reported a dream of her son's death. By then she was an old woman, for whom dying was not a distant prospect.  In her dream she was at Sigmund's funeral, and around his casket were arrayed the heads of state of the major European nations. For an old mother, even a Jewish one, to experience such a dream is not implausible, but to permit an account of having dreamed of such a catastrophe to cross her lips because it depicted the fame her beloved son had achieved, does reveal something about the nature of her own yearnings which had been satisfied through her son's career.
Paul Roazen, Freud and His Followers.
          He was eleven or twelve, sitting with his parents in one of the restaurants in the Prater, Vienna's famous park. A strolling poetaster was wandering from table to table, improvising for a few coins little verses on any theme proposed to him. "I was sent off to ask the poet to our table and he showed himself grateful to the messenger. Before inquiring for his topic, he dropped a few verses about me and, inspired, declared it probable that some day I would become a cabinet minister."
Peter Gay, Freud: A Life for Our Time.
          Amalie must have cherished the heroic prophesies that were made about Freud in his early years. More personally for her, [her] dream, at least according to her son's theory, may also have expressed a hidden meaning through a thematic polarity. For through the multiplication of father figures she may have been
accentuating the opposite of the dream's manifest content — that Freud really belonged to her alone and that he was more her son than his father's.  Simultaneously, for dreams can have many levels, this dream may have been an attempt at compensation for the loss of her son; she might no longer have him, but she was assured that the world did.
Paul Roazen, Freud and His Followers.

Letter to U.S. Department of Justice: February 3, 1996

The following letter evidences my desperation to trigger a federal investigation of my job termination by the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld as well as allegations made by the employer (or its employees) that I was potentially violent and that I might become armed and extremely dangerous.  Upon its receipt of the following letter, the Justice Department contacted the U.S. Secret Service, which summoned me to the Washington Field Office on February 16, 1996 to discuss the letter.  S.A. Philip Leadroot said to me at that time: "There are lawyers in the Justice Department who think you're a nut case."  (Actually, that's how I make my living!)

The letter is, in fact, carefully crafted.  It cites a letter I wrote to my psychiatrist that arguably brings the communication within the ruling in Tarasoff v. Regents of University of California, 13 Cal.3d 177, 529 P.2d 553 (Sup. Ct. Ca. 1974).  I prepared the subject letter to my psychiatrist as part of the process of psychotherapeutic cure and not for the purpose of revealing hidden danger.  "[A]lthough therapy patients often express thoughts of violence, they rarely carry out these ideas. Indeed the open and confidential character of psychotherapeutic dialogue encourages patients to voice such thoughts, not as a device to reveal hidden danger, but as part of the process of therapy. Certainly a therapist should not be encouraged routinely to reveal such threats to acquaintances of the patient; such disclosures could seriously disrupt the patient's relationship with his therapist and with the persons threatened. In singling out those few patients whose threats of violence present a serious danger and in weighing against this danger the harm to the patient that might result from revelation, the psychotherapist renders a decision involving a high order of expertise and judgment."

Dear Mr. Keeney:

Enclosed for the information of the U.S. Department of Justice is a computer disc that contains the most recent letter to my psychiatrist, dated January 31, 1996.  The letter discusses my fantasies in connection with the [violation of 18 USC §1751].

Senior managers of the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld have, apparently, not withdrawn their determination that I might be planning an armed assault, which, presumably, may occur at any time.

While I disavow an intent to commit any act of violence, psychiatrists at the George Washington University Medical Center refuse to modify the determination that I lied on psychological testing (administered in May 1994) in order to conceal the nature and severity of a paranoid (psychotic) mental disorder (which may predispose me to commit an act of violence).

Dear Mr. Leadroot:

This will advise the U.S. Secret Service that pleadings scheduled to be filed on May 17, 1996 in D.C. Superior Court in Freedman v. D.C. Dept. of Human Rights, no. 95-0014-MPA, by the Office of D.C. Corporation Counsel may further impair any possible future prosecution of me for a crime of violence (including murder or other heinous crime).

I continue to hold a body of beliefs regarding my employment experience at the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld that are, according to a determination of the Government of the District of Columbia, the product of a serious paranoid mental disorder that renders me potentially violent (and not suitable for employment).  The said determination of the Government of the District of Columbia necessarily contributes to the appearance of bona fides of the fears of my former direct supervisor at Akin Gump that I might be armed and homicidal.

Enclosed for your additional information is recent correspondence pertinent to this matter: letter dated January 27, 1996 to Eric H. Holder, Jr., U.S. Attorney; letter dated January 27, 1996 to John C. Keeney, U.S. Dept. of Justice; and letter dated January 27, 1996 to Charles F.C. Ruff, D.C. Corporation Counsel.

You may wish to bring this matter to the attention of Director Bowren.  This is very serious.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

For the Chapter: They're Not Getting Away With This

In Sherri Warren’s files, there are copies of letters to legislators, investigative reports and news articles — all neatly indexed, tabbed and sorted in giant binders stored in a cedar chest next to her bed.

She also keeps a tattered cardboard box in her bedroom. It contains her brother’s blue backpack, navy hoodie, Jimi Hendrix visor and favorite work boots — and the sisal rope that was attached to the noose found around his neck.

Keith W. Warren was just 19 on July 31, 1986, when he was found suspended from a tree near the Silver Spring townhouse he shared with his sister and their mother, the late Mary Couey, a medical lab technician at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

Police said the death was suicide, a finding that stands after numerous subsequent investigations and inquiries. His sister and other relatives think he was killed.

For 26 years, Sherri Warren has been on a quest to prove it, a quest that most recently left her hoping that a television documentary would generate enough renewed interest to trigger a new investigation. So far, it hasn't.

 

A dozen reviews have failed to convince her that justice has been done — and have failed to produce any closure.

RE: Freedman v. DC Dept. Human Rights
      Social Security Disability Claim xxx-xx-xxxx

Dear Ms. Harris:

I feel duty bound to provide the U.S. Department of Justice a copy of a letter, dated December 27, 1995, addressed to my current treating psychiatrist.  The letter discusses my fantasies in connection with infiltrating the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

I continue to hold a body of beliefs that are, according to the Government of the District of Columbia, the product of a mental disorder that renders me potentially violent and not suitable for employment); and according to the management of the law firm of Akin, Gump, Strauss, Hauer & Feld, potentially homicidal.

As you are aware the nature of my mental illness, according to the George Washington University Medical Center, is such that as the illness progresses in severity, I become more intelligent.  The apparently thoughtful and well-reasoned quality of my illness may in fact indicate a severe worsening of my illness, and thus, applying the determination of the Government of the District of Columbia, I may now be extraordinarily dangerous.

The enclosed computer disc also contains the text of a letter to my psychiatrist dated December 11, 1995.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

Philip C. Leadroot

Special Agent

U.S. Secret Service

Washington Field Office

Dear Mr. Leadroot:

This letter addresses your admonition, stated in our meeting at your office this morning, that I refrain from communicating with the Justice Department (including the FBI or Office of U.S. Attorney) in regard to issues relating to protectees of the U.S. Secret Service.

I remain concerned and confused about what precisely I should refrain from doing and respectfully request from you a more precise statement about I how I should conduct myself in the future.

I offer the following specific problem.

By way of letter dated June 18, 1993 to my then treating psychiatrist, Suzanne M. Pitts, M.D., I related my fantasies in connection with the attempted assassination of President Reagan.

I provided a copy of the letter dated June 18, 1993 to Paul Yessler, M.D., a psychiatric consultant for the U.S. Social Security Administration. Notwithstanding the possibly serious implications of the letter, Dr. Yessler apparently did not contact any law enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service, about the letter and the possible security concerns the letter raised. Dr. Yessler did not question me about the letter; Dr. Yessler evaluated me on June 12, 1993, and I did not speak with him again.

It is my belief that both the FBI and the Office of U.S. Attorney might have serious concerns about the failure of a Social Security Administration consultant to report this matter to law enforcement. I believe I have a right (and possibly a duty) to report this matter to the FBI or Office of U.S. Attorney. Yet, how can I report this incident and at the same time comply with your admonition that I not communicate with the FBI or Office of U.S. Attorney?

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

Philip C. Leadroot
Special Agent

Dear Mr. Leadroot:

Enclosed is an updated version of psychological materials I previously forwarded to you.

Dr. Georgopoulos continues to recommend anti-psychotic medication for me.  He continues to maintain that without my taking medication he cannot discuss with my former employer the possibility of reinstating my employment.

I asked Dr. Georgopoulos at my consultation on February 23, 1995 how a mental health counselor, in September 1989, could describe me as delusional and full of rage, yet a contemporaneous job evaluation could describe my work as outstanding and my ability to work with others above average.  Dr. Georgopoulos explained that this may be an example of a multiple personality-like disorder, and that I require medication to merge the various parts of my personality.

My official diagnosis according to GW remains paranoid (Delusional) disorder (DSMIIIR: 297.10) a diagnosis that apparently supersedes the previous diagnosis of bi-polar disorder.

Such are GW's latest thoughts on my mental state.

I feel duty bound to advise the U.S. Secret Service that if I suffer from a multiple personality-like disorder, I (or one of my personalities--presumably the delusional, rage-filled self) may pose an extreme threat to persons in my environment.

You may, if you wish, arrange to have the enclosed material reviewed by Mr. Jack Douglas, who heads the FBI's personality profiling unit at Quantico.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman

Special Agent

U.S. Secret Service

Washington Field Office

Dear Mr. Leadroot:

Enclosed are two additional letters, dated April 9, 1994 and April 23, 1994, to former House Speaker Tom Foley that refer to my “violent” or “homicidal” tendencies. These two letters precede the letter dated August 1994 that refers to my potential as a “mass murderer.” I do not know whether Mr. Foley reviewed this series of correspondence with any law enforcement authorities. His office did not respond to any of my correspondence.

Also, the letter dated April 9, 1994 is relevant to what the George Washington University claims is my poor psychological coping mechanism, an issue of special interest to the U.S. Secret Service.

The letters points out that my mother had died during my first year of law school (in January 1980) and I was then living on my own, totally alone, 3,000 miles away from home (for the first time after college). I have enclosed a copy of my law school transcript for courses completed in April 1980; one assumes that my poor psychological coping mechanism would be reflected in my law school performance. You will observe that the grades are: B- B+ A B+ B- (and a B in constitutional law, a course I took during the summer of 1980). My class standing at the end of the first year (1980) was top 15%.

What does GW mean when it says I do not appear to have a good psychological coping mechanism? You may find it interesting that not a single material claim made about my mental state or personality by either Akin Gump or GW can be substantiated.

What in God's name is going on here? The Secret Service has a right to know.

Sincerely,

Gary Freedman
