Native American Journalist Censored?

A year after launching an investigation into a nonprofit group composed of mostly retired military intelligence officers, Alaska Native journalist Cassandra ‘Sandy’ Frost finds herself not only censored off the internet but also a target of an online hate site. Frost’s award winning site at Suite101.com grew to over 85 articles as, for over two and a half years, she covered the topics of Intuition, Remote Viewing and Consciousness from an Athabascan viewpoint.

‘I’m an intuitive journalist and after attending a 2001 remote viewing conference, I discovered a subject about which I could write passionately,’ Frost explained.

Remote Viewing or RV is like psychic spying and was developed by a handful of Cold War soldiers and civilians who worked in and supported a unit commonly referred to as 'STARGATE.’

In March 2003, she began questioning the status of a Palo Alto, California based nonprofit RV group after noticing that they ‘always begged for money.’

‘I explored getting grants to start my own writing business and found that nonprofit groups can get millions of grant and foundation dollars,’ she explained. ‘The group’s board of directors was instrumental in both the R/D and operational sides of the US Army’s RV program and had kept it funded from sources like the CIA for 18 ½ years. I wondered why were in so much financial trouble when they had decades of fundraising experience.’

‘My first requests in early March 2003 for their board minutes and financial documentation were illegally denied,’ she revealed. ‘The information was supposed to be provided within 30 days of the initial request but I was instead told to ‘desist from any further communication in this regard’. They realized that they were supposed to comply and later produced a group of incomplete, irregular and laundered documents online.’

Frost began digging and discovered that the group was not listed with the IRS or appropriate state agencies, had not filed their most recent tax returns and was out of compliance with the nonprofit financial disclosure requirements of the States of California and Connecticut. ‘They were also operating under a fictitious business name so the activities of an older, seemingly invisible nonprofit group that began in 1983 could possibly remain hidden and unquestioned,’ Frost said.

The day after her first investigative article ran on March 13, 2003; the groups Vice President released some of Frost’s personal information to an online email group, which was further posted to other groups by their Webmaster. Last October, this same information was used by an online hate site that urged people to find Frost’s home in an attempt to financially harm her.

‘About that same time, the State of California posted tax returns that showed that the Vice President allegedly lost over $8,500 over two years as conference chairman,’ Frost pointed out.

Last January, Frost was prevented from publishing ‘Martin Luther King Day, RV and Hate Sites’ at Suite101.com, because her site had been ‘archived,’ and she was denied editorial access.

‘I then had it posted on another site,’ Frost said. ‘The piece explained why we should not tolerate hate crimes or hate speech, was inspired by an email I received from Tolerance.org and described my experience as a target of a hate site that racially harasses me because of this investigation.’

The editorial was taken offline a few days after it was initially published in mid January 2004. Frost’s entire body of work was taken offline February 29, 2004.

‘Today, the hate site mocks my intuition, which I consider a gift of the Great Spirit, runs cartoons that show missiles being shot at my head, calls for my ‘termination’ and degrades my wolf spirit by calling me a ‘werewolf,’ Frost said. ‘Worse of all, I suspect that the ‘anonymous’ author is an attorney who works for the US Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Disabilities Section.’

‘There are many other irregularities that are exposed in my articles,’ Frost concluded. ‘The bottom line is that all are bound by the laws that mandate nonprofit financial disclosure. There are no excuses for nor should anyone act as if they are above the law especially when it comes to nonprofit accountability.’
