NYC, 2003, Café Fiorello: FBI undercover agent Holmes interrogation of Wilson: Gaslighting – psychological attacks.

According to his Declaration, Mr. Wilson had a lengthy discussion with [FBI operative] Susan Holmes at Cafe Fiorello in New York City in 2003. Mr. Wilson has informed me that he is prepared, if this
matter goes to briefing, that the FBI has failed to search for and provide him with records
regarding this conversation. To illustrate the memory of, and notes he has on, this conversation,
Mr. Wilson will state under oath some of the more specific details of the conversation. These
include:

a) During Holmes’ questioning of Wilson she would periodically ask Wilson to
describe specific scenarios about the future, imaginative events, and stories. When
Wilson had no response to many of her requests, Holmes would implore him to
“Say anything. It doesn’t matter. Just say anything. Make it up,” she said
repeatedly.

b) In this vein, Holmes asked Wilson about 25 or 30 different topics and scenarios
and Wilson gave brief answers, many of which subsequently were presented to
Wilson in various ways at various times years later, gaslighting him as a form of
psychological attack. Examples are below.

c) Rembrandt costume: Holmes asked: “What would be a weird or outlandish thing
to wear to a business meeting, if you were to wear something to make fun of the
person, to mock, or to show you weren’t taking them seriously? Just come up with
anything, it doesn’t matter”, she said. Wilson intentionally offered ridiculous and
absurd imagery he said intrigued and to play along with what he found to be
Holmes’ odd conduct that evening. Wilson described a distinctive baggy
Rembrandt type costume, oversize floppy shoes, a very baggy suit, loose white
shirt with frills and a broad brimmed, large floppy hat.

d) In 2010, Wilson who owned a boutique equity research business at that time in
Sydney, states he interviewed a well credentialed job applicant. In September,
2011 Wilson received an email from someone claiming to be a Wharton MBA
who gave his name as Peter Benda. Wilson had never met him. Benda said he was
involved with the mining industry and in Sydney from the USA on business.
Benda, the applicant, arrived at Wilson’s offices wearing the distinctive
Rembrandt costume and turned out to be a fake candidate.

e) Mr. Wilson has stated that he had a second, similar experience. Holmes asked
Wilson to imagine he was interviewing someone for some position in the future.
“Describe something odd or unusual they might do while waiting for you,” she
requested. “It doesn’t matter. Just say anything!” Perplexed and intrigued about
Holmes’ odd behavior and questions, Mr. Wilson states that he described someone
in a dated business suit – Indiana Jones style, wearing a fedora or similar hat,
reading an archaic technical book on maritime navigation for sailors, someone
who was planning to undertake an epic round the world sailing odyssey.

f) Wilson further stated that, in 2010, Wilson, who owned a boutique equity research
business at that time in Sydney, interviewed another well credentialed job
applicant. The applicant, Fabian Babich, a well-known former Sydney equity
analyst and someone who Wilson had been warned of by operative Andrew
Martin now worked for an Australian intelligence agency, arrived at Wilson’s
offices an hour early and needed to wait. wearing the distinctive clothing
described by Wilson to Holmes, and reading an archaic maritime navigation
manual in prelude to an epic sailing trip he said he was planning. Again, Babich
turned out to be a fake job applicant.

g) Additionally, Mr. Wilson has stated that Holmes asked, “Describe a trip you
would like to do or wish you had done. Suggest anything; what souvenirs or
artifacts would you have purchased?” Wilson suggested a trip into West Papua,
Indonesia. “How would you do it, how would you organize it, what would you
bring back? Just say anything,” she encouraged. What was the point of all this
Wilson wondered, sensing these were questions whose answers she didn’t really
care about. She repeated the refrain: “It doesn’t matter, just say anything. Make it
up.”

h) Wilson described an epic trip into Papua New Guinea, a river trip up the Fly
River, taking river boats or canoes to different villages along the river and
returning with some crafts from the area. “What crafts?” she insisted. Wilson said
jokingly “three massive totem poles”. “How would you arrange or plan such an
expedition?” she continued. Wilson replied, ”I would ask a seller of PNG arts and crafts in the Sydney suburb of Paddington for their travel connections, agencies
and ideas on where to go and how to proceed.”

[e) sic] C.2008, in Sydney, Graeme Jolly, a lawyer Wilson knew from years’ ago bumped
into Wilson in the street and invited him back to see his legal offices. There, three
massive West Papuan totem poles lined the entrance and Jolly outlined where he
had got them outlining all the same details Wilson had provided to Holmes in
2003, as well, Jolly’s name and details had come up during the conversation. Jolly
had no interest in adventure travel, no particular interest in indigenous
communities and his story seemed fake to Wilson. Furthermore, Jolly was aware
of recent private events concerning Wilson, suggesting he had been “gotten to” by
a partnering Australian agency.

i) 4. House furniture: Continuing, Holmes asked Wilson, “What furniture would you
like for your house one day?”. Holmes pushed for answers. “Just say anything off
the top of your head. It doesn’t matter. Just make it up!” Wilson flippantly
described some bizarre furniture using small off-cuts of wood or any available
building material to make a rustic, hodge podge bar, stools and chairs of
assembled and overlapping off-cuts in a basement room.

j) In 2005, Mr. Wilson was introduced to Clark and was shown his home renovation
in Balmain, a suburb of Sydney. In his basement, he had the same bar, stools and
chairs as Wilson had described to Holmes in 2003. Clark said he had personally
made using offcuts. It was out of keeping with the rest of the furnishings in the
house and style of the renovations. Clark’s behavior was odd, he seemed
uncertain, and his explanation seemed fake.

k) There were other scenarios Holmes asked Wilson to describe which over time
were brought to the attention of Wilson in Sydney, or elsewhere, in the years after 2003. These included an introduction to a composer’s musical composition; a short film synopsis, details of a kids’ school skit, an outlandish party, distinct details of a eulogy for a parent, distinct odd comments at a high school reunion, distinctive odd tailor-made toys, and so on.

l) The creative scenarios on many of the topics Susan had asked Wilson to describe
to her in 2003 gradually over the years appeared in his life. They manifested in
unexpected places, at unexpected times, and with unexpected people. It soon
became clear why she had kept pushing him for answers, no matter the content,
saying, ” It doesn’t matter. Just say anything. Make it up.”
