November 22, 1963.”

daily security report from Michael Barnes,

Why does he need a national security report especially on the new Dr hired, Skylar? And why bug her house and phone and track her coming and going’s if she is already hired by Harmony? What exactly is this Dr Fenton really up to? Cus he has access to way more info than what’s legal and even now has government funding to continue back him up but for what? Eddies echo box that’s been in the works for over a decade but never quite complete since he can’t make the algorithms connect correctly or whatever. Doesn’t make sense

Those around him had no idea they were in the presence of a legend whose reputation remained securely intact.

A legend???

The man had electronic snooping devices tapped into eighty different telephones and inside the residences of several dozen people who worked for the facility.

That’s ridiculous over 80 staff members being listened to and watched by this guy? Wtf is up with this so called Harmony House why the need for all of this basically illegal spying

finally be able to interpret the inaudible recordings made by the echo-box microsatellites.

AKA The echo box

outlier.

was Bob Stenson,

He just runs every scandalous job imaginable so of course it’s Bob she meets

“We wouldn’t be having this conversation if we thought you would.” He handed her a plain manila folder that contained a copy of every performance-related issue from her employment records. “Before we have these items expunged, we need to know if there is anything else we should be aware of.” Flipping through

Exactly what was said to the Senator of Indiana and likely to so many others

guaranteed. Her first position would be in the home of retired New York governor Terence Townsend, who had recently suffered a traumatic brain injury. The elder Townsend was also the father of New York City congressman and tabloid favorite Henry Townsend.

So she knew Townsend and worked as a nurse for his father ...very interesting

evangelical in their zeal. They believed in

There were 468 different stations along 842 miles of track. Over five million passengers rode the trains every weekday, making it the seventh-busiest subway system in the world, behind Beijing, Shanghai, Tokyo, Guangzhou, Seoul, and Moscow. The

I lived in NY for most of my life and never knew there were that many subways let alone millions of ppl using them on a daily basis but then again I don’t work in NYC like my bro does therefore I wouldn’t know that And I’m not a fan of subways either not unless someone like my bro is able to direct me as to where to go cus I’m more than likely to get lost without a guide

The grungy man’s grip was incredibly strong. Much stronger than it should have been. In one swift, violent motion, he hurled Jacob onto the tracks in front of the express train traveling at thirty-eight miles per hour.

Omg Dr Fenton & his cohorts killed him bc he was looking up info on Eddie and his echo box project!!! The kid wasn’t even doing anything wrong and didn’t pose a threat yet he’s still murdered?! And in such a violent way?!! I like how the “bum” was limping when Skylar’s bf saw him yet when he threw him into the oncoming express train’s path he was “surprisingly strong” yea bc he wasn’t a bum he was a former military operative that was assigned to kill Skylar’s bf before he knew too much

Michael Barnes became recognizable.

Michael Barnes; the so-called “mystery man”

The sad fact was the Hudson River was so polluted it had been declared a Superfund site after General Electric was found guilty of having dumped more than one million pounds of polychlorinated biphenyls into it over the previous thirty years. In the

Is this really true?!!! If so when the hell did this happen???!!! I def need to look this one up later!

Lutz’s brief encounter with Raines in front of the Sixth Precinct, Michael Barnes had instructed his men to place a transmitter in the wheel well of the Homeland vehicle. Barnes knew he didn’t have the manpower to locate Skylar and Eddie before the government agents did. But he had the manpower and know-how to take the doctor and her patient from them once the fugitives were in Homeland’s custody.

Thank goodness some one was looking out for Skylar & Eddies welfare and wants to keep them safe Butler seems a lot smarter than any of the homeland or harmony house agents thought he was

and because the revelation that an unknown faction had temporarily kidnapped his staff doctor and her patient from federal custody would guarantee increased funding for Harmony House security for years to come.

Really want to know if this so called Harmony House really exists in another form in this country cus it sounds a lot like the CIA but with out involving the government at all and with the game of politics I wouldn’t put it past this country for having something similar to what this book calls “Harmony House”

Barnes is the one pulling the strings behind Harmony House and the only person who can see to Skylar & Eddies demise

Nurse Gloria’s handlers. Whoever she was working for needed

But I thought she was leaking info to Barnes? I’m so confused

Whoever Gloria was working for would get the message, loud and clear.

Which is same ppl who funded Harmony House for the echo box in the first place and therefore only will be killing a true and hard working employee who didn’t do anything wrong

Barnes had been a thorn in the side of the American Heritage Foundation for too long,
