An Open Letter to Heather Blessington and Her Social Media Channel "brainwashed444" Followers
Setting the Record Straight
Dear Readers,
If you follow survivor posts on social media, you may have noticed that Heather Blessington, a former friend, has been saying horrible things about me on her channels, as brainwashed444. This has been deeply painful to experience, because what she has been sharing is not true.
This post is me offering my perspective on a friendship that turned into a nightmare, practicing a healthy and non-raging response while telling her to Cease and Desist.
To Heather:
This post serves as an expanded written notice to cease and desist your criminal behavior and deceptive attempts to publicly humiliate me, my organization, and my colleagues at SOAAR Global, PMA. You have refused my multiple attempts to pursue resolution privately, including two in-person requests and a recent text request that included an offer of mediated discussion.
Instead, you have reacted with a stated intent to persist and even escalate your harassment, texting me yesterday: “Do not expect the heat to let up…we will get LOUDER…You asked for it.”
No, I didn’t “ask for it.” That is abuser language, and your behavior towards me is abusive. Abusing me is not you “doing a job” unless you are a cult handler…I wonder if that is what you mean.
I didn’t ask you to record and publish a five-part audio rant for your social media channel, “brainwashed444,” links to which you have been posting whenever you can get access to my work online, for example here in your reply to a post I made on Facebook that was set on a public setting:
You have been harassing me this way from your channel and elsewhere for months now, unresponsive to my telling you this is bullying, and I want you to stop.
At first I did not react right away, practicing my P.A.U.S.E. (Perhaps Another Unknown Solution Exists), praying each day, grieving (including the positive friendship we had), and hoping this would blow over. But I know from the attachment work of Stan Tatkin that non-response in the face of violation of innocence or honor causes toxic inflammation in the nervous system, and your ongoing attacks have been causing me daily stress and anguish. I was contacted by a journalist I respect but don’t know well who seemed concerned there might be some truth to your statements. Why else would someone say so many and such awful things? This proves your actions have caused damage to my reputation. After this week’s text tirade from you that included the ending “CHECKMATE I SEE YOU,” I realized it was time to act. This is not a game for me, this is my life, the lives of two dear friends and colleagues, and our livelihood.
Since you are perpetrating these attacks in the public arena, I am now responding to you publicly. I blocked you on multiple online media channels (including this one) and have reported your posts as hate speech/harassment. I paused my Telegram Channel, SOAAR Global News. But you responded by stepping up your attacks, now repeatedly trolling and responding to anything you can find that I post publicly, even when it has nothing to do with you.
Here is a small sample of your deceptive or deliberately distorted statements about me, published over the last several months, with my responses:
“Anastasia (Staci) Sprout is the embodiment of Lady Satan”
No, I am not. I was forced into compliance with possession as a child/teen victim of Satanic Ritual Abuse, and have worked my entire conscious life to free myself of evil influences and be of helpful service to the light.
“Staci is unfortunately spinning completely out of control in this moment.”
Actually, I am doing well overall and thriving in most areas of my life. I am overeating sometimes to soothe pain but my clothes still fit, which is manageable. I want a loving partnership, but need to do more work on my own rage recovery first. Your emotionally brutal harassment has been the most difficult challenge in my life, other than ongoing grief from losing Sparky in January 2025, and my past injuries. My latest summary has more details:
“She knowingly … negotiates with demons via her alters.”
I pray daily and work constantly to heal the traumatic injuries that expose me to demonic attacks/attachments. This statement is ignorant and offensive. You also sent a text that demanded “Have you denounced the Demons that negotiate via your Alters in the name of the real and true Jesus Christ?” This is spiritual control/abuse Heather.
“There are two individuals that work side by side with Anastasia Sprout. … They’re part of her fake organization which is called ‘Soaar Global.’ and “Your unqualified cohorts of SOAAR Global …”
More info:
SOAAR Global, PMA is a financially solvent consulting, coaching, activist and educational organization. Currently all our services are online. It’s true it’s a three person organization, and our team met with Heather in person in Sedona, AZ. It didn’t go well due to her aggressive communication style, which was another reason I decided to leave Sedona; after getting their impressions on Heather, I knew without a doubt I could not successfully locate our in-person clinic there.
These individuals are highly qualified and I regularly receive glowing feedback about their professional services from clients I deeply respect. They are lovely and well-loved people who have been heavily targeted for their dedication, now piled on further by Heather. It’s unacceptable. But they persevere because despite the pushback, the work is deeply rewarding and meaningful.
“She would turn flat-out evil right in front of my face, shape-shifting and whatnot.”
Heather, the first conflict you and I had was in September 2024 on the phone, when I told you I felt hurt by witnessing your mean attack of a helping professional on your online channel called “Heather’s Hospital” and you told me not to take what you did online personally. I told you I felt that behavior was unprofessional and I no longer wanted to be associated with it, and unsubscribed from that channel. You avoided my subsequent attempts to talk through this further, though we related in other ways, your side always in exchange for payment.
The last time I saw you, you gave me a hug, when you were dropping me off at the Flagstaff Airport in December 2024, and I flew to Seattle. When I was flying back to Sedona in January 2025 you declined to pick me up as we had agreed, saying you “had to go out of town,” while borrowing my campervan, so I paid a shuttle to get myself and my dog from the airport to my apartment. That was frustrating!
I was overindulgent with you Heather, not attacking. That last month I felt you were holding my van hostage and I regretted temporarily letting you use it for a few months. When I got my van back it was messy but not trashed, except one photograph on the wall of a dragon that I associated with my late mother’s protective spirit, which was damaged. It was ripped across the face.
“So going back to these characters that are working with her – one’s a survivor, one’s not. The one that’s a survivor, I mean, Anastasia uses and abuses this person beyond words on a daily basis. And talk about bullying and bossing! This person’s a 70-year-old individual that covers for Anastasia.”
The individuals on my coaching team are funny and fun, but not “characters” as projected here. One is a brilliantly articulate, strong survivor of OEA, and the other is an amazingly generous ally-mother who adopted a son who has suffered severe Organized Extreme Abuse. Both are credentialed, and both feel a strong spiritual calling to be of service to RAMCOA survivors and allies. I do not boss, bully or abuse either of them, nor they me.
Both of my team members have contributed to this post, and offered me kind support as we’ve all gone through your slander this year. I have apologized to them for my choice to get too close to you having this effect on them, and they reminded me I am not responsible for other people's actions. I am grateful and blessed to know and get to work with them. They represent the very best of what this field has to offer survivors of OEA. ❤️🔥
“Anastasia has a .22 caliber gun.”
As a free adult, I own four rubber band guns and four marshmallow slingshots, and several squirtguns. I was given a .22 gun while I was a slave of the Death-Cult, and have no idea where that gun is now; I haven’t seen it for decades. The last time I recall handling a gun was in my freshman year of college, when my father took my sister and me to a local shooting range. I felt a strange familiarity holding the practice weapon, my father’s .45 revolver. It was only in the last few years that I’ve recalled the Death-Cult .22 gun training and rituals, but have no association with actually shooting anyone.
“that she got all in rage mode over something… I’ll leave it out, but y-y- certain individuals know what this was. And she went to murder somebody.” and “Staci could care less who she hurts, maims or flat out KILLS in the process of her fake "Careavan" healing journey.”
Heather you are not “leaving it out,” you simply have no evidence! This is another blatant lie; I have not murdered anyone as a free adult person. I have written in this blog some memoir chapters about forced murders in my enslaved SRA/MK-ULTRA childhood. This is a massive difference; you are distorting and exploiting my vulnerable sharing here for your own purposes.
More info:
Accusations of recent, volitional crimes are a common tactic to discredit survivors speaking out about Satanic Ritual Abuse. This has been used on global disclosure leader Jeanette Archer (falsely accused of murder, never proven) and Wilfred Wong (falsely set up and accused of kidnapping along with several other SRA activists; tragically this situation was used to wrongfully imprison him!). These individuals are courageous role models for me today, because they STOOD UP and SPOKE UP! SOAAR Global started a campaign to help free Wilfred Wong (UK) in 2023, but could not find any support. You can help another group's campaign by clicking his name in the link above.
Sadly, as an OEA activist, I’ve been through attacks like Heather’s multiple times before from people trying to silence me, including several representatives from the porn industry after I began public speaking about porn harms to kids in 2017. As I’ve previously described, I was also threatened publicly by another Organized Extreme Abuse survivor when I was part of founding an early OEA survivor disclosure collective (which I subsequently left) in 2010. Several others were actively attacked, one became severely disabled as the result, and the group disbanded. This is standard operating procedure for the Death-Cult.
Like Heather, the porn industry-tied “spooksmodel” Nicole Prause regularly slanders me online for my porn-awareness education, by distorting things I have published. Also like Heather has accused, she often posts that I “lost my license” and makes other defaming statements.
What’s true is, I did not lose my license. I chose not to pay to renew my Washington state psychotherapist license, instead becoming a coach that is free to see anyone in the world, in 2023. I retired (thus my license expired) as a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, LICSW - WA, from 2001, after twenty-three years. “No Enforcement Action” means in good standing.
Prause has harassed me and others for over a decade. For a while I meticulously documented her attacks, and the victorious legal proof of her fraud by colleagues on my sexual recovery website. She still tries to embarrass me online in front of any colleagues I have worked with, but we all know who she is and what she does - her nickname is “Dr. Defamation” and she tells the world that porn does not harm kids. She’s not at all credible to anyone with common sense.
I fear (doctor) Nicole Prause, who grew up in a conservative religious family and is connected with a weird mind-controlly-sounding organization called “The Mind Research Network” is a victim of MK-ULTRA herself, and those pulling her puppet strings remain hidden and unaccountable.
I fear this for Heather, too, and “brainwashed444.”
Targeting comes with the disclosure territory, and is looked at by some activists as a (painful) badge of honor; a sign you are making progress In threatening the Death-Cult lies.
Back to Heather’s online defamation:
“And then she somehow pulled … herself back from the edge and this character covered for her.”
???
“You put your dog to sleep, ‘cause you wanted to be out there by yourself.”
This was the worst attack of all, Heather, claiming that I murdered my terminally ill dog Sparky for convenience one day, after loving and caring for him for fourteen years. Since I don’t think you will stop your attacks regardless of this Cease and Desist notice (I hope I am wrong), I plan to take legal action and will produce two veterinary professional letters for the court, since I spoke with two vets before proceeding with the painful experience of euthanizing my best friend, Sparky. Previously you claimed to have a device that could help him and me, but never produced it, though I said I would try it. By the time Sparky was actively dying, you and I were barely speaking and not seeing each other at all. What I recall is that your device was missing a chord and I did not offer to buy you one more thing. By then I no longer trusted you. Rightfully so, because you are a pathological liar.
If your “job” Heather was to hurt me, you succeeded. But if your job was to silence me, you did not.
I’m not going to respond to your further statements below specifically, and there are many more I haven’t noted, nor will I. I’m done paying attention to anything written, recorded, or shared by you Heather Blessington, from here forward, unless I see you in person in court, or accidentally see you when I return to Sedona, AZ. I’ve put you in what I call my “relationship jail” and blocked you in every way I know how. Others will let me know if you respect this letter or not, and I will proceed accordingly.
“Spinnin’ to oblivion, spyin’ on people in the middle of the night.”
“Manchurian Candidate”
“She’s associated with Michael Aquino”
“Staci spends every moment of her waking life devising schemes to manipulate others.”
“Staci is a severe danger to herself & others including this network”
“Staci Sprout is an Active Handler/Abuser”
“Staci Sprout is not a Therapist nor Coach”
Heather, you are lying, gaslighting, and fantasy-grandstanding, by positioning me as evil, yourself as my rescuer “on a guided mission,” to help me AND ALSO protect others from me, while wrongfully stating that what you are doing is “love” from “your best friend.”
No, this is not love, and my friends don’t act this way.
It’s grift.
If you are NOT actively being handled by an MK-ULTRA abuser to attack me and SOAAR Global, I believe you are doing all of this to sensationalize your role as a victim in order to make money for your channel, which is donations-based.
Sadly, it turned out that your primary motivation was finding ways to get money without earning it, which I discovered in Sedona after knowing you in person for a few months. This, along with your rage, is why I began distancing myself from associating with you, and took down my July 2024 Careavan post of our interview titled “Meet Heather Blessington” (even though I do still suspect Sedona’s Eloté Cafe of nefarious activities).
When I stopped paying you for Sedona land tours and giving you financial support grants—including the temporary use of my campervan in trade for your car while I lived and worked in the Sedona casita, you started calling me a “demon.”
At first I responded with attempts to discuss your distortions, to no lasting positive result. I began to suspect that your frequent cannabis use was keeping you trapped in a fantasy cycle of entitlement, rage and retaliation, but you were not willing to get help nor even discuss this possibility. You blamed me for being “so judgmental” when in fact you had lied about the amount you smoked, and did so in my van despite promising not to.
You told me flat out that you wanted money only, not coaching or other types of mental health support. When another survivor friend in need came to town, you left town rather than help him! What happened to the “Survivor Rescue” of the “Pureblood Network”?
I realized that to continue to support you would only be enabling, and that you were not (only) the victim you portrayed yourself online. Writing this all out, I’m amazed I didn’t see it earlier. And, I forgive myself.
What you are doing is illegal*.
It’s called defamation, making false statements regarding the medical treatment of an animal, and falsely reporting crimes, including murder — and you are fully responsible for these actions.
Heather, I want you to stop this persecution immediately.
For any followers of the brainwashed444 channel, your endorsement of Heather’s work is enabling her cruel harm to me, my colleagues, and our organization, unless you hold her accountable.
She has done this to others, as I found out when four other OEA survivors reached out to me stating they too felt harmed by Heather. Still others have told me they have blocked her and are warning others about her. I recently learned her nicknames in the survivor community are “Heather Aggressington” and “Heather Harrassington.”
This is not just a personal spat between her and me, it’s a pattern of persecution as entertainment, which implicates the audience as well as Heather.
Heather's “network” is a false fantasy, but if vulnerable OEA survivors with less recovery time get lured into her trap, it could be fatal for them. She breaks confidences and reveals information about their inner world that could easily set them up for cult handling exploitation. Is this on purpose? It sure looks like it.
Heather Blessington is dangerous, and if this criminal behavior towards me does not stop immediately, I will be pursuing legal accountability to protect myself and vulnerable survivors from further harm.
*See AZ criminal statutes at the conclusion of this notice.
In summary of this formal Cease and Desist notice:
Heather Anne McGaw Blessington:
--Do not make up and exaggerate any further information about me, my life, my friends, and my business;
--Do not solicit donations based on your lies and dramatic renditions of our former relationship, therefore profiting from my Death-Cult victimization via your deception and sensationalized harassment;
--Do not make any further defamatory statements about me for any reason, especially to scapegoat me for your lack of ethics and professionalism. It is not up to me or anyone to legitimize you, that is your work to do through principled behavior.
--Do not publish any written nor recorded information without my written permission and consent, especially anything that I shared with you in good faith and trusted confidence;
—Do not contact me again, unless you have gotten help for your rage and cannabis dependence, and are prepared to apologize for your harmful behavior.
I will continue to pray for your health and happiness, and hope there can be something more positive that can arise from all of this for all involved.
Sincerely,
Anastasia Sprout 4/26/2025
Gangstalking: Spreading The Rumor “You have gone squizo, crazy, insane, paranoid, whatever”
As you can see with the screenshots above, online gangstalking like what Nicole Prause, Heather Blessington, and others like them are doing is devastatingly real, as is the in-person gangstalking as described in the above video on The Gangstalking Playbook channel.
My Part: Learning How to Help OEA Survivors Without Becoming a “Rescuer” on the “Drama Triangle”…
…and one last response to Heather, about my brother, Randy Sprout.
Heather, one of the criticisms you made of me is true, I was foolish. I fell for your story and very kind, attentive in-person character, and trusted you too quickly. In the structure of my professional therapy and now coaching work I haven’t had these kinds of problems, but did so during this “in the field” trial of helping you, a homeless woman my age with a very tragic story. I overidentified with you, but have learned the hard way that I need to be more careful with my resources, my trust, and my confidences.
Karpman Drama Triangle:
This model describes how individuals can inadvertently fall into a cycle of dysfunctional relationships by adopting one of three roles: Victim, Persecutor, or Rescuer.
Victim:
The Victim feels helpless, blames others, and seeks attention and rescue from others.
Persecutor:
The Persecutor is critical, controlling, and often blames others for their problems.
Rescuer:
The Rescuer feels the need to save or fix others, often neglecting their own needs in the process.
I fell into a rescuer role with you Heather, seeing you as a victim, which set me up for your switch into a persecutor role when I tried to step back and you grew enraged. I’ve struggled with this before in relationships, and worked on it via love addiction and codependency recovery. Our friendship activated me on a deep level, which has offered opportunity to heal at a deeper level too.
I do feel compassion for you, for what it may have been like for you to have an in-person caring friend and supporter for seven months when you’d struggled for so long on your own, scraping by with scarce donations. When I started to pull back, that must have been painful and scary for you. Maybe you felt deep abandonment triggers. But this does not excuse your continued lashing out with hurtful lies. There IS help available for underearning/poverty, cannabis addiction, and rage. But I can’t do that for you, or anyone.
FINAL NOTES:
I feel somewhat embarrassed about naively giving so much to Heather, but I also appreciate my intent, which was to help a homeless survivor in need who was trying to educate and offer disclosure to wake up the world about OEA. I always felt Heather had unique and deep intel, until I saw her campaign of lies about me.
It was only after our conflict that I stepped back my gifts to her in stages (I stopped paying for the showers/spa only when she had found another donor to cover this). I gave her six more weeks in the van than I wanted, due to her becoming emotionally overwrought and accusatory whenever I brought up the topic — saying things like: “How could you do this to me, put me out on the streets again?!” while crying on a message. Looking back, I feel she was using her pain and suffering to hold my van hostage, and I wasn’t assertive enough.
Since publishing my memoir chapters in this blog and doing more inner healing work, I see how I was vulnerable to overgiving to others as a way of balancing out my own shame from my past. I’ve been processing Heather’s contempt towards me as an opportunity to face my own self-contempt at a deeper level, and release it. As without, so within.
Though I prefer my growth to come from more positive sources than a friend’s betrayal, I’ll take what comes my way, and I’m learning to protect myself better next time.
What about my brother?
Randy Sprout is the name of my older brother, and Heather insists I must “expose my brother’s tech” or I am “HURTING Survivors.” Like many in my family, I fear my brother is a victim of MK-ULTRA; there were many signs, now that I know them. He was in the military, he went to Cornell (NY) and Harvard (Boston), he worked in microwave technology, he worked in the field of virtual reality in Reno, NV with my parents; he owned a white van, and now apparently works with solar panels. We are not in contact, and per my father, he hates me, so I stay away from him, even online. I heard from a very psychic person that my brother is connected to Elon Musk and modern human targeting warfare. Heather has stated she believes he has attacked her personally, and others she knows. If he is enslaved-involved, and anyone can help my brother get free and/or be stopped from harming anyone, I welcome this. But I am not responsible for his behavior.
When I think of Randy today, I just see the blond, goofy big brother who loved games, comic books, video games, spy stories, and computers. I see my only connection in a family of loneliness, for a while, and the ways he protected me from complete despair. I see the state champion swimmer (50 freestyle) and the one who loved sheet-on-the-floor family taco nights. I think of the last time I saw him, at a family gathering a long time ago, when he beat me at a rousing Spoons game and I demanded a rematch. He wouldn’t give it, knowing I would beat him if we tried again.
Yes, I have bad memories of Randy too, and I know there is more that I don't yet recall. But I have worked through this grief, and see his own victimization in his abuse, a hurt little boy, and I forgive him. I still miss him dearly. Is this programming? Denial of grief? Misplaced loyalty? Is it enduring love, or all of the above?

‼️ If you look him up, be alerted that he will get information about you, too.
MK-ULTRA is brutal on families; on all loving relationships. If Randy is currently involved in criminal activity, he (and his handlers) should be stopped and held fairly accountable.
Just like Heather and her enablers at brainwashed444.
🆘 If you want to help me (thank you for reading this far, wow!), and you see a defamatory post by Heather attached to something I've created online, please post this story link in response. If you do this on her channel she will most likely shame and delete, so don’t bother. People can make up their own minds, but this post is to give my perspective.
I’m going back to my activism now. 📢📢📢
❤️
I'm so sorry, Ann that you have had to face this too! I admit, when Heathwr accused me of callously murdering my beloved and terminally ill dog, thr word ghoul came to mind for me as well. This is exactly the kind of heartbreaking 💔 technique that Satanists love.
Fascinating to see that both your attacker and mine have backgrounds in media.
And that term media, a friend recently told me, had its own shadowy connection.
How can I or others best support you?
Yes exactly - and that's the dilemma for people who are targeted by slander. That's why the #1 usual advice to victims is Don't respond- because it will just escalate and you will start looking like your attacker. If you do respond, be very careful. I think you did a very fine job of correcting the record. I have tried but not so throughly and in so much detail because I guess I assume nobody is interested, or will assume we are both to blame. In my case, I did try to expose this person after she began causing major trouble in a group I had introduced her to. She had almost managed to take it over and become the spokesperson- I think her goal was to discredit and wreck the group, and I also believe she was a professional disinfo agent posing as a victim. I would do the same again. Over 5 years she has lost almost all her supporters including the spooky agency that she once worked for - they now consider her too aggressive and ego-driven to be effective so they put her out to pasture. So that's what can happen when you do nothing and just let the slander fizzle out.
