If it hasn’t become abundantly clear yet, let me make it clear now. Being targeted and stalked by cyberbullies on the internet is a nightmare. And it impacts PTSD from military sexual trauma significantly. It was hard enough to come forward to begin with and it is my intent that we can remedy this situation so that other advocates can replace me without fear of getting cyberbullied. I want justice for the troops so I am going to stick it out until we get it. In the meantime, I was never expecting the very people that I supported implicitly regardless of who they were would be the very people who would plan my demise in the end. It is the epitome of betrayal. And quite frankly, something I am pretty used to by now.

DARVO: “MST Advocate” Publicly Accuses Veteran Advocates of the Very Thing She Does to Others (2014)
Posted on Facebook by Colleen Bushnell in July 2013
Sound familiar? Both Jeremiah Arbogast & Colleen Bushnell have been bullying & stalking advocates yet saying that these advocates are bullying them. This is a sign of narcissism.* Jeremiah actually put the plan down in writing one night on Facebook with his buds. Until NOW, we have not had an opinion of any of these people. The only thing I ever said about Colleen is “no, I’m not interested in working with her.” I set a boundary and she didn’t like it so they all aggressed upon us at no fault of our own.
*It’s called DARVO: deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender roles
She has nothing, zero evidence, so she has to ask people on the internet if they got anything. This is her modus operandi. She has no problem falsely accusing people of shit including heinous crimes with zero evidence to manipulate her way through life and keep the upper hand. It’s calculating. No one is going to get in her way; she will step on toes to climb that ladder and she will also steal your work to get there.
Colleen Bushnell Posts Fake ‘Ceast & Desist’ Order on Facebook (2014)
Fake ‘Cease & Desist’ Order by Colleen Bushnell Posted on Facebook in July 2013
One of My Abusers Falsely Accused Me of Defaming Her on Facebook and Started a Cascade of Hate that Ended With Doxxing & Swatting; Has History of Making False Accusations (2014)
Colleen Bushnell, a self proclaimed “MST advocate” working with Protect Our Defenders (PoD), didn’t just perjure herself in a court of law but she lied in two different states about her sons being sexually molested by the ex-husband and his family (who now have custody).
She accused them ALL of sex crimes in a court of law with no evidence where ANYONE accused of crimes against children are demonized in the public sphere. Much like my husband’s abusive ex-wife, she weaponized the court system to regain control of the situation after losing physical custody. Obviously, she had no history of “reports of abuse” to use as evidence. She is the abuser.
Law enforcement conducted an extensive investigation in two separate states only to find out that she simply made it up in an effort to get her children back under false pretenses. Colleen Bushnell has a history of falsely accusing people when she is the actual problem.
For about fifteen years, she’s been pushing herself out there as a “military sexual trauma advocate” despite treating veterans like shit. She has zero credibility with Congress, the Air Force, or in any court of law, therefore a significant risk to any client’s case or a movement. I met Colleen, the “advocate,” via Protect Our Defenders in 2012 and she started abusing me because I was chosen to testify for the House Armed Services Committee hearings in 2013 during the Lackland Air Force Base basic training sex scandal.
She was jealous because she wasn’t chosen to speak in front of Congress (probably because they vetted her) and she made my life a living hell from the time she found out until I testified. She spent weeks coming at me about how all my thoughts on any matters were wrong… and that she was the authority on the subject. You don’t speak for me or tell me that I don’t have freedom of speech after serving in silence for 17 years until my medical retirement was official. She had the nerve to fake console* me afterwards to get attention in the media and then began the gang bullying campaign against me on-line when she posted a fake “cease and desist.”
(The only thing I ever said about Colleen is that I didn’t want to work with her. I have every right to pick and choose who I will and will not work with. She is not a team player, she was abusing me, and she proved who she really is when she found out I didn’t want to work with her… she ruined me with lies and defamation on social media, the exact same thing she accused me of. Thanks for the hate Jeannie.)
*I was crying because of the abuse Colleen Bushnell put me through prior to the difficult task of testifying to congress about something so personal… and the fact that Air Force generals, most members of the HASC, and the audience who supported them walked out before hearing the testimony of two Air Force leaders. It was overwhelming to be treated so poorly before the testimony, during the testimony, and after the testimony after a lifetime of abuse and dehumanization. Colleen is connected to Nancy Parrish and is still a shill for Protect Our Defenders to this day. Both of them have a history of shutting down veterans to maintain control of the narrative.
Colleen is a proven liar and still pushes the ineffective policies of military leaders for Protect Our Defenders to this day just like she did for the Air Force as a public affairs specialist. She is a master manipulator. Protect Our Defenders and the shitty people they choose to represent the masses is why this “movement” is failing. We get accused of falsely accusing people of sex crimes and PoD promotes folks who in fact do have a history of false accusations and ruin our credibility. We’re done watching this trainwreck.
You don’t have to convince me she’s a false accuser, she falsely accused me too. She’s a bully and when she’s confronted destroys your character to silence you and creates a collective disbelief or condemnation of the victim. Then she makes herself out to be the victim, just like the military did. Colleen Bushnell and Protect Our Defenders don’t stand for the reality of the circumstances service members are forced to deal with on their own while being abused. They are engaging in the same kind of behavior and their lack of knowledge of the issues and short sighted efforts are putting us in harm’s way.
Editor’s Note:
It’s not okay for me to be an alleged domestic violence victim who got charged with a crime for the alleged abuser’s alcohol instead of helped. But it is okay for Colleen Bushnell to falsely accuse her ex-husband and his family, get busted for it, and advocate on behalf of ALL military sexual assault victims with an organization run by civilians and military officers who are fucking us.
Here’s how they took me out of the game:
Colleen Bushnell Perjures Herself In a Court of Law
Cynthia Feathers, Saratoga Springs, for appellant.
Mitch S. Kessler, Cohoes, attorney for the children.
Rose, J. Appeal from an order of the Family Court of Montgomery County (Cortese, J.), entered August 31, 2010, which, among other things, granted petitioner’s application, in a proceeding pursuant to Domestic Relations Law article 5-A, to enforce a prior order of custody and visitation entered in Texas.
Respondent, the mother of two sons (born in 1999 and 2002), refused to release the children to the paternal grandparents for visitation and instead brought them to New York from Texas. A Texas court thereafter issued a temporary order granting custody to the father and petitioner, the paternal grandmother. Petitioner then commenced this proceeding seeking registration and enforcement of the Texas order (see Domestic Relations Law §§ 77-d, 77-g). Respondent did not contest registration of the Texas order, but requested that Family Court exercise temporary emergency jurisdiction based on her allegations that the paternal grandparents had sexually abused the children (see Domestic Relations Law § 76-c). Family Court placed the children in the temporary custody of the Montgomery County Department of Social Services and ordered an investigation into respondent’s allegations. Upon conclusion of the investigation, Family Court found the allegations to be unfounded and granted enforcement of the Texas order.
On her appeal, respondent contends that Family Court did not conduct an adequate investigation into her allegations prior to its determination. This claim, however, is not [*2]supported by the record. Family Court heard, without objection, testimony that the children met with a local sexual abuse validator who determined that there was no sexual abuse, and it reviewed an investigative report prepared by authorities in Texas after respondent made the same allegations there. The Texas authorities conducted an exhaustive review and found no evidence to substantiate the allegations of sexual abuse. In light of the information rebutting respondent’s claims, we agree with Family Court that her unsubstantiated allegations were insufficient to warrant the invocation of temporary emergency jurisdiction (see Matter of Hearne v Hearne, 61 AD3d 758, 759 [2009]; Matter of Randall v Randall, 305 AD2d 512, 513 [2003]).
Mercure, J.P., Lahtinen, Kavanagh and McCarthy, JJ., concur. Ordered that the order is affirmed, without costs.

3. Perjured herself under oath in court of law (click here)
4. Posted fake ‘Cease & Desist Order’ on Facebook against another veteran (click here)
5. Elicits veterans to fight her battles & encourages them to dog pile other veterans
6. Stalks and bullies other advocates who actually help troops & veterans, claims they bully her/disagree with her, then tries to get them disliked and abused by others by making things up
Female Bullying Can Be Worse
There are many different types of bullying including female bullying. The classic type of bullying includes the mean boy on the playground, but now it is clear female bullying is just as prominent and severe as bullying with males. Female bullying can sometimes even be worse.
With cases of bullying on the rise, it is becoming more apparent than ever that female bullying is just as common as bullying with males. It is a common misconception that boys and teen males are the most dominant types of bullies. In fact, girls can be just as ruthless especially when it comes to the type of bullying that is not as physical. Types of bullying like cyberbullying are often spearheaded by teen girls placing an attack on their peers verbally. However, harsh words, lies and rumors can be just as devastating to a child or teen as being physically attacked.

Adult Bullying in MST Community
Adult Bullying in MST Community
One would think that as people mature and progress through life, that they would stop behaviors of their youth. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Sadly, adults can be bullies, just as children and teenagers can be bullies. While adults are more likely to useverbal bullying as opposed to physical bullying, the fact of the matter is that adult bullying exists. The goal of an adult bully is to gain power over another person, and make himself or herself the dominant adult. They try to humiliate victims, and “show them who is boss.”
There are several different types of adult bullies, and it helps to know how they operate:
- Narcissistic Adult Bully: This type of adult bully is self-centered and does not share empathy with others. Additionally, there is little anxiety about consequences. He or she seems to feel good about him or herself, but in reality has a brittle narcissism that requires putting others down.
- Impulsive Adult Bully: Adult bullies in this category are more spontaneous and plan their bullying out less. Even if consequences are likely, this adult bully has a hard time restraining his or her behavior. In some cases, this type of bullying may be unintentional, resulting in periods of stress, or when the bully is actually upset or concerned about something unconnected with the victim.
- Physical Bully: While adult bullying rarely turns to physical confrontation, there are, nonetheless, bullies that use physicality. In some cases, the adult bully may not actually physically harm the victim, but may use the threat of harm, or physical domination through looming. Additionally, a physical bully may damage or steal a victim’s property, rather than physically confronting the victim.
- Verbal Adult Bully: Words can be quite damaging. Adult bullies who use this type of tactic may start rumors about the victim, or use sarcastic or demeaning language to dominate or humiliate another person. This subtle type of bullying also has the advantage – to the bully – of being difficult to document. However, the emotional and psychological impacts of verbal bullying can be felt quite keenly and can result in reduced job performance and even depression.
- Secondary Adult Bully: This is someone who does not initiate the bullying, but joins in so that he or she does not actually become a victim down the road. Secondary bullies may feel bad about what they are doing, but are more concerned about protecting themselves.
Workplace bullying can make life quite miserable and difficult. Supervisors should be made aware of adult bullies, since they can disrupt productivity, create a hostile work environment (opening the company to the risk of a law suit) and reduce morale.
What is Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites.
Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos, websites, or fake profiles.
Effects of Cyberbullying: These tools can be used to hurt other people. Whether done in person or through technology, the effects of bullying are similar. The impact of cyberbullying on veterans with Post Traumatic Stress are life ending if not addressed.
How Does One Counter the Impact of Cyberbullying Across State Lines?
Since June 2013, I have been told to ignore the aggressive cyberbullying behavior of JA et al only to have it escalate, harm others, & then watch him be rewarded by organizations and Senators for his deceitful, underhanded ways. While he is getting promoted in media, he is beating down other advocates who never said a word to him. Because he is promoted in media, it means that other veterans may contact him only to be harmed by his sociopathic tendencies and lack of empathy for others. Where does one draw the line?
When the cyberbullies live across state lines and there are a group of them, it is difficult to build a case on any single individual. Therefore, in order to document the abuse, we must endure the abuse from the group collectively. This is not easy to do if you have PTSD especially from Military Sexual Trauma. I was hoping that by ignoring this it would all go away. Until now, I have not had time to deal with this lunacy. But it is worth my time to focus, call it out, and put an end to it for the safety of myself and others.
It is rare that the feds will make cyberbullying a priority in their cases until someone is threatened, harmed, or killed. We are not going to wait until the cyberbullies follow through with threats to harm. It’s bad enough that one of them told me he killed the three men who raped him and someone we believe is Jeremiah sent a text message saying that he wasn’t afraid of my ‘lazy’ service dog. We are going to nip this in the bud before it goes any further. The impact this has on PTSD alone is criminal.
Since there are no clear laws on how to stop cyberbullies across state lines, the documentation will be conducted on-line so as to warn others of their potential to harm. I would recommend remaining quiet so that you do not become the next target. It has literally pushed veterans into bed for weeks at a time; it has a significant impact on depression & feeling hopeless. Both depression and hopelessness lead one to feel suicidal. The guy who uses suicide as his media platform is actually pushing other veterans to feeling suicidal.
The behavior is so abusive and so detrimental to one’s psyche that it can be a trigger for suicide if you become the target or object of their efforts to hurt you, embarrass you, belittle you, etc. They purposefully find ways to trigger your PTSD and hit below the belt because they don’t have empathy for others. Please lay low and take care of yourself while we take them on, endure the abuse, and collect evidence. We should all be able to advocate for our beliefs without becoming a victim of cyberbullying.
You don’t have to say or do anything wrong to become a target. Apparently, if you work hard and really care about the troops that makes you a target. If you have become a target in any way, please let us know and we will post what they have done to you but keep your name confidential. We will also provide you with support so you don’t feel alone like we did. We know that if you are found out that the retaliation will only get worse and we want to prevent any veteran with PTSD from becoming their next target.
Timeline of MST Gang Stalking
Disclaimer: Although I knew JA, KC, & CB from the MST community/’movement’ (via the INTERNET), I do not KNOW them. I met Jeremiah & Colleen briefly in person but by no means had a relationship of any kind with any of these people. Also, although I didn’t say a word while all this was going down, it impacted my PTSD significantly to the point that I took some time off to focus on maintaining my strength for this fight. I went to the VA and spoke to them about how do deal with being targeted by internet trolls. All impacts the internet bullying/stalking had on my PTSD were documented at the Department of Veteran Affairs.
Timeline of Events:
In May 2013, I received a call from MM. I had recently introduced the MJIA in it’s original format in DC. Michael called me to inform me that MJIA was not the answer & that everyone thought I was a media whore. After PTSD was triggered, I spoke to Wendi Goodman who wrote this piece for us. How Dare You Call Us MST Media Whores by Wendi Goodman After Wendi Goodman posted that blog, she informed me that KC contacted her & gave her a hard time about it. Why is that? Because she is friends with MM?
After going to New Mexico to support the male MST film, JA sends tweet in June 2013 calling me a bitch and snob. He was promptly blocked on both Twitter and Facebook. I was told to ignore.
JA posts irrelevant article about me from past which included my physical address. Found out that he posted it on Facebook (with hateful message) from another advocate. He posted an article of an encounter that my husband and I had with some local police after I called them to get help for my combat veteran husband. He basically threw a night of PTSD crisis from the past back in my family’s face. Why? I was told to ignore. Read article here.
JM, friends of MM and his wife informed me that she would “finish me” via text message.
Never spoke to TA in my life and then I get a crazy random Facebook message from Jeremiah’s wife accusing me of bullying Jeremiah. She was then blocked on Facebook. Asked other advocates what to do. I was told to ignore.
In July 2013, I found out about CB’s fake “Ceast and Desist” order on Facebook from a client. Also learned that KC was not only supportive of said activity but encouraging it. Both of these people were blocked on Facebook and Twitter. I was told to ignore.
Received copy of fake cease and desist order via e-mail from CB, as did the Executive Director of the organization that I volunteer for. I was told to ignore.
In November 2013, I found out about the Facebook Advocate’s conversation about other MST Advocates from someone who was included in the conversation and absolutely disgusted with the things that were said by those same people promoted in the media because of their affiliation with an MST documentary. For the entire conversation that JA, LW, KC, DC, et al had about how to take out KW, Jennifer Norris and others, please click here.
TO BE CONTINUED…
I never spoke one ill word to either JA or CB ever in my life (aside from calling Jeremiah a bully after he first attacked me on twitter). I don’t know KC from a hole in the wall. Yet everyone appears to know everything about me, makes shit up, and I am bullying them even though they are all blocked. This is the first time that I am publicly speaking about this craziness. From here on out, I will post anything that is directed at me on this blog to document the behavior, but mostly to protect others from their harm.
