76/10/ = Prof. Whiteside said "You cant stop us, . . . we got photographs.". . . . [Philosophy of Religion, 1976. in class . . . . . "what are you trying to do , get yourself killed". . . . Robert responded with 'I do not seek death, neither do I fear it.' (I do fear not accomplishing my goals.)

Robert visited the Kotheimer's house at Hikes Point at Christmas-time and his brother-in-law said :

76/12/22 = "know someone who got married at fifteen . . . he he he he :-). . . . " This statement by Lee Kotheimer was directly related to the breach of confidentiality believed to have been carried out by River Region Mental Health Department. Robert saw a pattern of attack and damage from his brother-in-laws. Robert's frustration because of spending so many nights alone erupted. Two years later, again at Christmas-time, Robert was attacked by his siblings.

> 77/3/ = Ed Dailey threatened "I'm goin' ta show you how powerful I am . . . " Ed's daughter-in-law's father was the Spencer County Sheriff, and later duly elected County Fiscal Officer. The daughter-in-law's sister was elected County Attorney in 1987.

Robert had discussed sensitive topics with a psychiatrist employeed by the state of Kentucky, working at River Region. Psychologist Robert G. Meyer committed violations of 18usca245 during the Intro. to Clinical Abnormal Psychology class at UnivLou, when he commented about the discussion which had taken place briefly at River Region. This act by the Professor was really a stress-inducing educational interference. Outside events in the learning environment of the classroom created stress. Stress stimulates a chemical which operates on the pituitary contrary to the memory chemical. The stress blocked Robert's ability to concentrate as his grades indicate he had studied before that time. Robert called the state office of River Region immediately after the first classroom event, and Meyer made a comment in class soon after that which Robert can link to the question asked by Robert anonymously when he called River Region.

77/3-4/ / = During the Intro. to Clinical Psychology class the Professor, Robert G. Meyer said " "Anybody that prints ought to be in river region" "Anybody that has ever been to river region had better come see us" "We can put you away, we have a Judge on our side" This is a violation of 18usca245 in class.

78/6/ = Eleanor (Glen) Dailey backed me out the front door of her home with a 357 Magnum pistol jammed in my face, after an evening frog-leg and turtle dinner which the Hedges farm was poached for the fixings of...........too much alcohol.......The mood is important here. Robert was not used to social gun-play.

78/8/ = Robert had gone to Edwin Harmon about an event occurred in June of 1978. A possible violation of KRS 506.030, solicitation to commit a crime, is factually presented below. The facts seems to fit the definition of solicitation for the purposes of a homosexual contact. The violation of the sodomy statute, which then made such a contact illegal, KRS 510.100, was a class A misdemeanor, making solicitation for such an illegal contact a Class B misdemeanor.

78/9/ = Mildred Dailey said "We've got to get you cut . . . " Mildred is Ed Dailey's wife, and thus is a partner to a business competitor. This was one of the original attacks and was a deliberate threat.

78/10/ = Again during harvest season of 1978, Ralph Edwards, on his farm across the river, in the same time period said " we cut hogs here " . . . we ought to cut you . . "

This remark merely implies cruelty, rather than interference, and may be the result of Robert's aversion to the brutal practice. Any other explanation will have to originate in the more knowledgeable mind of the reader/viewer.

78/10/ = Ralph Edwards " a nephew has to come in for some " Is Ralph Edwards meddling here for some ulterior motive, or just stirring up something. ? Whose nephew does he mean. Is he referring to Charles Butch Johnson, nephew of JT Johnson, or to a nephew of Robert Hedges ?

78/10/ = Mike Driscoll on various occasions and at varying locations..." I'm joining the Catholics " [later] " you'll need a tank to stay out here . . [later] I'm Charles ".[drummers stick together?] "You can't hire Cootes, he's Ed Dailey's attorney " . . . . This is just as mysterious as the statements by Ralph Edwards. Meddling and contract failure by these partners have damaged Robert. It is also a threat?.

78/10/ = Michelle describes Transylvania Univ. (parties, sex, rock & roll) to Robert and says she wants to get married. Robert asked whom she had in mind. She becomes angry and threatens, "you might lose your crop" She had said once that if you get a bad name in the country you can never get rid of it.

78/12/ = Ed Harmon said " I'm afraid if you do find out who you're up against you will wind up in a ditch " This implies danger lurks somewhere.

78/12/18 = Ella C Hedges Deitz " everyone keeps trying to sell us bad meat" . . . " we have to get you away from her. . . she is making you look too good . . . " This is clearly a manipulative method, either to drive Robert to someone or to vent her anger. This family relationship could not survive these attacks. This happened at dinner at Ella's house.

78/12/19 or 20= Edwin Harmon said "You got probation" What is he talking about.? for what, when. . . ? This really plays on the mind. Was he talking about the glue-sniffers maybe?

78/12/ = Leon Bentley said .. " what's this about homosexuality . . . " Robert responded with his belief that although someone had told him Mitchell didn't like girls, Robert wasn't concerned about it, and that he had paid no attention.

78/11/ = Petie Day said " the kid's grow their weed there" [the river end of Elvie Keelin's field which Petie bought at the end of 1978, after Elvie bought a grain bin from D&E Grain Systems]. See the chapter on the grain bin deal. Alan K.(Petie) Day, formally a local Waterford farmer, has since this time gone broke and begun to work for the Commonwealth of Kentucky in Frankfort. He was over-levered, and a drop in land values put him under.

78/11/ = Ralph Edwards " you took Ed's corn land . . .that's what ya done " This seems to be Ralph meddling again. In light of his failure in the matter of the grain bin, this statement mixed with his actions equals intentional failure to carry out a contract. It is unfortunate, that a case against D&E was prevented by the Hedges v Hedges case of 1981. Robert could only stretch his legal dollars so far.

78/12/18 = Mike Driscoll said. . . "I held'um while they knocked their teeth out . . . I hope you still want them . . . " soon after delivering the transport auger from the Vine Grove area. Robert walked off in a daze, wondering what had happened. Earlier in the day, Robert's windshield was knocked out by geese from the Bentley's farm as he drove by, and he had the windshield replaced at Brill Glass in Louisville.

78/12/18 = Petie Day said " I'm sorry I have to take it from you, I'm sorry I have to take it from you....."

78/12/18 = John Hedges said " well, did that back window fit your truck" . Robert bought a truck window while at Brill Glass for the windshield. Something is wrong here.

78/12/21= Nancy said " you're ugly . . ugly . . tomorrow everyone's gonna know just how ugly you are " " we couldn't do anything about the eyes " " you scrooged around once too often." Ella CHD said " well I guess this is the last time we'll be together " . This series of harangues was the beginning of the end of these relationships. There has never any explanation forthcoming from either one for these statements. This occurred after the Scrooge Play at Actors Theater, while Robert was driving Nancy and Ella back to Hikes Point. Robert was drugged either before the play at dinner or during the play when Mrs. Jewell Wetzelberger served him a drink.

78/12/23 = Ella CHD at her house, after supper on Saturday night said " did you go to the farm today . . . well I hope you did . . . so you're feeling sick, huh . . . I thought you would . . . well don't worry . . . it's not arsenic . . . don't bother your uncle, Andrea .(about three years old at the time) . . he's sick . . . we think he's been sick for a long time . . . we're gonna show everyone how sick he really is . . . why don't you go in and lay down on the couch . . . if you hurry you can just make the hospital " This was the end of this relationship, and the basis for the belief that Ella had intended to harm Robert long before the Mental Inquest Warrant of 1982.

78/12/23 = Robert kept his Saturday appointment with the Dentist, Dr. Brooks, at the Medical Arts bldg. after the Friday night lock-in at DPBChurch. The Brooks nurse said " do you have a card..?" you know, a special card . . . you better call that number or you might not be here tomorrow..."." Don't get any hair in your teeth.... when we want hair in your teeth, we'll put it there." ..." did you bite there " [Lock-in, DPBChurch] " Would you bite there? ....... ..are you going to take any trips out of town...."

78/12/23 = Dr. Brooks said, "I could have given you a fat lip " What is going on here at the dentist ? Robert is thoroughly confused about who has meddled so many places around him with inexplicable events.

78/12/23 = Next Robert went to JR Stylemaker for a haircut..... ....He then went to the farm, got the truck, and took a load of furniture to farm on the truck. He hauled 2 beds. Robert said " I think I'm finished {dying}] while returning from the farm in his auto." John laughed and said "we thought you would be" Robert had no energy, and returned home, took no bath, and went to bed early. John Hedges accompanied him and said " I don't like you..." John said " looks like you didn't get enough of it . . . we're gonna give you some more . . . ".. also later in the drive "we want money. " Robert was ill seven times, and had chills . . .hot & cold . . . . . He was drugged and he was under attack. Ed Dailey had come over to the Camaro as Robert was about to slide out of the seat and drop over, and just smiled and beamed. Ed said . "I'll get it all back now, I'll get it all back now". Ed was obviously enjoying a triumph of some sort. Robert knew that Ed was a part of this attack at the moment their eyes met. Robert was drugged, and Ed had the air of a man who had accomplished something.

78/12/24 = Robert awoke early Sunday morning feeling refreshed. The drug he was slipped had caused him to be very tired the night before, and caused him to sleep very soundly. Associate Pastor Harold Phillips guided Robert up to the married dept. when he arrived at Deer Park Baptist Church and said . . "we steered you a little to keep you from getting steered a lot." Robert was seated in a room with several would-be deacons. Then Bill Merit, a young deacon said " we put Carter in office and we're going to keep him there..." which is a good political thought for a Democrat, but has nothing to do with Robert. Then Mrs. [Dr. Glen] Hinson followed by Mrs. [Dr.] Birkhead..." you've been using weapons all around . . . you're pearl got scratched . . . we're taking care of your pearl for you . . . yeah . . we know . . you want a pearl here at church . . . they had to stay in the shell a little longer . . . " Robert hasn't a clue as to what this is all about, and he left more confused than when he arrived, although he believed he was enlightened. This is probably the result of the drug he was given. He also experienced a complete absence of a sexual drive. His recent reading indicates that Prozak can do similar odd things to a subject.

78/12/30 = Robert visited Billy Winburn and his wife Terry. Winburn said "lose any good parts lately" . . ." well do you have VD" . . . In the wake of being perplexed with all of the above events, here Robert was faced with more rumors. Terry is an in-law to Eleanor Dailey.

79/1/ = Ed Dailey said "it was us . . . we tried to turn you bad . . . " This was the first conversation after Ed Dailey gave away his being involved in the drugging situation by enjoying Robert's pain so immensely.

79/1/2 = Jack Bennett venting unexplained anger, as Robert spoke with him on the phone concerning business with Bennett's Store in Taylorsville. " it's you that made the mistake . . . . " No explanation ever has been forthcoming since this conclusory statement was made.

79/1/ = Bill Schneidtmiller from S & S Service Center...."it was us no accounts . . . we did a number on you . . . ". .

79/1/7 = Mrs. Birkhead on a later Sunday in the married Sunday school class .". . . . You're is going to be a test tube baby . . . " A Jefferson County Police Officer, from Highview Baptist, who had joined just a few months earlier was present during these remarks, which were made before the crowd.

79/1/8 or 10 = Robert met (a scared) Ralph on the Salt River bridge, and Ralph said "It was Ed Dailey, . . . he put it in your water jug, he put it in your water jug, now we're all gonna get killed, . . . I'm gonna go home and tell ". He ran off to tell presumably Opal Husband Edwards.

79/ / = Wetzelberger said " it was us that didn't want you to have any kids . . . " . This sounds like a threat. It's meaning can certainly be mistaken for some other negative meaning.

79/2/ = Salt II Sat. in Feb. = Deer Park Baptist hosted a Salt II community hearing with Senator Wendell Ford as speaker. One bystander said to Robert ....."you're the policeman with no gun . . . we took your gun away . . . " A Catholic visitor married to a local churchmember said..." you just keep bringing them out . . . . I have relatives in L------(small town) . . . ". Robert could presume he did something or was believed to have done something, but hasn't a clue what this man is talking about.

79/2/ = The Anchorage Patrolman who pulled Robert over one day, and didn't ticket him . . . "she is gone now . . . you don't need to worry about her any more" [her who?....worry about what ?...]

79/3/ = Robert visited Father Jack Morgan while he was hospitalized and Robert was required at the hospital as transportation for his brother, John. Jack Morgan said " . . . . " we decided you aren't going to have any kids . . . . ."we let them slip away . . . "" we are for 'ours'". . . you did - bla bla bla . . .why are they badding you out?, . . that's all we could find" [Robert replied -'what do you mean, that's all you could find. . was that sitting on a street corner waiting on you to come along and pick it up'?] Robert does not yet know who 'they' were.

79/4/= Sunday afternoon in the DPBChurch parking lot, Tommy Jackson, the newly arrived youth, seated himself in Robert's car and said "I'll do anything you like . . . you like me don't you . . . I thought you liked me . . [censored temporarily] . the priest didn't care . . . he was a crook . . .[censored] . . . .they'll kill you for that . . . they're gonna kill you . . ['no I'm gonna kill you'] . you know those two [girls] you want to see . . . I got rid of them . . . they're gone . . . you're never gonna see them again . . . " This situation let to a Police report by Robert.

79/4/ = Robert was driving on Back Run Road, and he saw a field of redbud trees which needed mowing. He stopped nearby at Tom O'Hern's Shagbark to inquire about transplanting several trees. The following situation with a bearded heavy-set man is strange... "You don't want to mess with me . . . I run everything . . . I could have shot you where you stood but I see that you are unarmed . . . You just weren't gonna light out were you...This place here used to belong to _______________.I lit them out personally . . . I got what you're looking for inside . . [censored] Robert never really understood what was happening here. This individual may have had a short-wave radio rig, and may have been involved in something on his separate wavelength.

79/4/ = Dahlrymple said.... " you're a fag...it's confirmed...". your sister said so "[later] . . we heard you grew marijuana . . Robert was distraught. When an official person like a Policeman falsely calls you a fag it really hurts. Robert doesn't know if it hurts more or less when it's true. He responded with a statement to Dahlrymple about his half-sister's lesbian baby-sitters, since she had attacked him before Xmas. Robert invited the Police out to the farm, and they arrived en mass with horses. The best way to end a rumor is head-on-confrontation. No marijuana. !! No crime.

79/ / = Eddie Dailey jr (young) said " we told everyone you'se bad, I don'a know what we' gonn' do. ". What is the definition of bad?. Eddie Dailey had just lost his one year old dairy business. He had previously been separated after 13 years in the Army, for failing to gain rank.

79/5/ = Houston Hedges said " you were supposed to run at the first hint of trouble," Trouble caused by whom - run from what to what-? What a way to get a turn-key business. Just threaten the owner so he'll light out. !!

79/5/ = Harlan Brown said " they're talking about you . . . they're talking about you . . . " It took me all my life to get in with the big . . . I'm not getting out on account of the likes of you "

79/5/ = Catherine Hedges said, " you have been running around blaming Ed Dailey for the fire in the corn field . . . you need to go see a psychiatrist."... This is where B lied to F that D said___________________- - to cause F to become angry and attack D. Some people fall for this trick over and over and become irrational.

79/5/ = Dr. Gaba, father of Bill, Ed and Beth Gaba, all in the youth group at DPBChurch = " you're brother-in-law is trying to get you killed ." See Dr. Berner in the of John Hedges' chapter where thefelony assault charge was made.

79/8/ = Ben McAdams, the loan officer at the PCA = " it was rat poison . . . that's what happens to rats . . . you're the fly in the ointment, you know what happens to the fly in the ointment don't you . . we call it a bung . . . " .....

79/5/ = Robert originally approached the FBI because someone had planted a persistent false rumor about his car-show-ready 1957 Corvette. The confrontation with a false rumor seems to be the best approach. The violation of educational law which was occurring was part of the complaint of 1980. Robert also had to confront the various other rumors which seemed to destabilize his credibility in front of this group.

79/ / = An F.B.I. male employee claimed "lack of jurisdiction, it is just a small local matter " The FBI Agent who first spoke with Robert was named Mike Koziol. He said he was being harangued. He soon transferred elsewhere. Robert never asked for any agent's names again.

79/ / = An F.B.I. female employee tells me that "Oh, you're the guy everybody is going to harangue you out of town". What does harangue mean, and do you suppose this is legal?

79/ / = An F.B.I. male employee said "we're going to get you for flight to avoid prosecution...."[ older agent in office ] Couple this duress with the above duress and there quickly appears a problem which can be defined as extortion - unlawful duress to prevent or compel -.

79/ / = A woman civil servant in the Federal Building said "you aren't tainted, only tarnished " . . ."your silver platter is tarnished also ".

79/ / = An F.B.I. female employee said " we used a writ of mandamus . . . . "

80/ / = Leon Bentley said "We can break any will. " This seems like a threat, and in-fact seems like meddling by a business competitor. The Bentley partnership bought Hedges acres in 1991 at the 'BS' Auction.

80/1/ = Robert Hedges went to the FarMers Home Administration for a disaster loan after the flood losses of 1979. The Salt River Flood Control Reservoir was completed in 1980, but in 1979 the yearly flood came in August instead of December/January. Robert lost many of his soybeans. The civil servant at the FMHA was a newly-minted agriculture major, from a local tenant family who had insufficient funds to farm. This fellow was allowed to control the Hedges Farm, though he had no investment of his own. He sarcastically said . . " we have to make you a recluse . . . we can't let anyone know that it happened to you . . . " and he denied Robert a low interest disaster loan, also saying "Ed Dailey said not to give you no money." Ed Dailey was also a local tenant farmer, who had previously told me "I'll show you how powerful I am".

THIS IS HAPPENING ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI TODAY - POLITICAL CREDIT WITHHOLDING THE USE OF FEDERAL FARM FUNDS BY POLITICAL LENDERS AS FAVORS

80/2/ = an anonymous voice on the phone (possibly R. M. Cootes, sometimes the local Spencer County Attorney) = " you weren't going down he drain...everybody had to shove you . . . ".

80/4/ = Leon Bentley said. . . " it was Cootes . . . we had to catch you practicing . . . its a big talk, its a big talk, before this is over we're gonna know everythin' you ever done. " . . . "[ these men caused the premature demise of Robert's parents, Houston G. Hedges and Catherine R. G. Hedges, and have purchased property from the estate. The stress which the deceased old folks were subjected to is a direct cause of the medical difficulties which killed each. Robert tried to prevent or reduce their stress at all times. Others did not have that goal in mind. Everyone else had something to gain by stirring up trouble.

80/4/ = Prof. Susan Matarese said = "It was us, we can't undo it . . . the subject is sodomy & homosexuality . . . we're going to do it to you . . . " [18usca245 violated here again] This occurred in Am Political Thought class, and Robert replied with ' well fire him . . get him out of here . . .you can't have someone here lusting after what ever he lusting after' . Prof. Matarese said later "It's us now, we're going to make you a never-mount-to-nothing " Robert responded with 'You'll never make me a never amount to nothing no matter who ya' are.'

80/4/ = Prof. Dowell . . . " it was us . . . you had too much self-respect [publicly in class] . . . [privately out of class] it's your age . . . " This is an 18usca245 violation. This Professor is in Political Science at UnivLou. This occurred in front of the class of students. Robert spoke with her on the phone later and she said " you can't prove collusion."

80/5/ = Catherine Hedges said, " Rev Sharp called Nancy, Nancy called Ella, Ella called me " and you've been running around threatening to kill someone from church . . . " you need to see a psychiatrist . . "

80/7/ = Robert occasionally purchased scrap steel from Seamco steel fabrication. The foreman there said . . . "first we were doing it for the Wetzelbergers . . . then we were doing it for the Kotheimers . . . then we were doing it for the gluesniffers . . . we're not doing it anymore . . . you hear me . . . we're not doing it any more . . . " What were they doing ?

81/2/ = Robert stopped at Petie Day's house one day and Petie said "Judge Glasscock is out at the next election . . he couldn't even get rid of you..." . CL Glasscock was Sheriff, and later was elected the Fiscal Judge. His school teacher step-daughter married Eddie Dailey. Another step-daughter has been Commonwealth Attorney (1985-1989). She is Eddie Dailey's sister-in-law.

81/2/ = Mrs. Jarrett, clerk at Kroger in Fern Creek...."your not to have no money...." This is business interference by a passerby. Robert sought credit for his business.

81/4/ = Ed Dailey said " We're not friends . . . . . . you are my enemy . . . ."

81/6/ = Former Sheriff Grubbs said " The Corp [of Engineers building the lake] moved in, I had five farms up here I ran . . . . we couldn't do anything about them . . . we sure do something about you . . . . " Grubbs jr. = "you sure got a lot of fag friends..." Robert was exploring the lake area at the time, and got his truck stuck on condemned lake area land and sought a tow.

81/6/ = Catherine Hedges said, " your attorney isn't going to do a thing for you . . . . he'll just take your money . . . " . This was during the farm business fight.

81/8/ = Catherine Hedges said, " You need to see a psychiatrist at the VA hospital . . . . it all started in the Army . . " . .

81/8/ = B.A.Y., a hired Attorney "We use people like them, now we can use you" This was said while Robert was speaking on the phone to BAY. Robert never trusted a lawyer again.

81/10/ = Sheriff Larry Lawson said - "I'm one of the tenants, we're helping your brother . . . . " [during the arrest for the phoney felony assault charge brought by John Hedges]

81/10/ = Soon after the altercation with John, Robert was at the Taylorsville Courthouse and Robert Cootes said . . . "we don't care what somebody does to you..". .

81/10/ = Judge Bond, from Lawrenceburg, as a Spencer District Court Judge. Robert phoned him about the felony assault charge and the reason behind it and equipment which needed to be returned to him and Bond said " I will have to remove myself from this case" . . . . . "Cootes wanted to "persecute" you first" . . . John never was compelled to return Robert's property which he had taken and which caused the altercation.

81/11/ = Greg Abati said " we were doing it for Wetzelberger, it was all of Germantown . . . R---- R--- was one of us . . . you are one of us now . . . Abati was a JeffCommCollege Student from Jeffersontown, with a Jefferson County Police brother-in-law, visiting the farm to buy a Remington Logmaster chain saw.

81/12/ = Spencer Circuit Clerk Phyllis Shafar said "We don't want you to own any land in Spencer County " I'm one of the tenants."

85/ / = Ed Dailey said " What good is power if you can't use it against your enemies . . ". Ed was openly hostile to me and my interests. Everyone who helped him in his fighting my improvements is likewise in the camp of my enemy.

85/ / = CF Wetzelberger said " well, I guess you know by now that it's us . . . . you better stay away from all my friends . . . " . Ed Dailey and Charles Wetzelberger are related, and have some sort of a family group. There was collusion among them against Robert. CF Wetzelberger had access to prescription drugs for manic-depression.

86/ / = Jimmy N threatened " we've got to give you aids" This threat was in the aftermath of a Rock Hudson joke on a construction job.

91/ / = " well ya should have sold me those acres a few years ago. . . they'd have brought more than in the auction the other day. . . . . .

92/ / = Caller on Milton Metz Here 84AM radio talk show one evening right after Robert's call. "We're gonna kill him."

I was arrested on the phony Class D Felony charge in 1981, and was told by KY State Trooper Detective Claude Owens " anything you say can be used against you" (The absence of 'in a court of law' was very intentional.) Politicians must always take care that what they say is not useful against them.

When a health professional (and I use the term 'professional' loosely) can breach confidentiality, and send sensitive data through a grapevine to individuals who "use anything you say against you".

It would be fatal to a family business to discuss anything with the saboteur 'professional' which might be used against the most influential member of the family business, and blamed on the less influential member of the family partnership. Thus any hints of abuse, which are frequent allegations when linked as causation for behavior which would be discussed by the careless and trusting victim of MIWs would be a possible fatal result of the MIW unwittingly allowed by the most influential member of the family business.

The individuals who try to cause trouble have schemes which cause trouble regardless of efforts to stop them. People who plan to destroy a family business have no constructive motive to accomplish.

MIW can conceivably lead to very negative events, and thus this threat is a very severe threat.
