Somewhere between 0 and. 100%
The last few days there have been no clear recordable. instances of
abuse. However, while travelling on the Underground,. while walking around
near my home and going to friends. homes, I am constantly troubled by
thoughts that those people over there might be about to get. at me; that
the couple sitting in the. opposite seats laughing are in fact laughing at
me; et. cetera, et cetera.
A comment by a scientist. to the BSE inquiry sticks in my mind. He
described the possible scale of the epidemic as "between 0% and 100%".. It
might not be happening, it. might not happen at all, to any discernable
degree.... or it. might be total. Without clear recording, which seems to
have become impossible the last couple of. weeks, there is no way of
knowing whether the harassment really is continuing, whether we. have
entered a temporary hiatus, or whether. perhaps it has perhaps stopped for
now.
But for the. time being I think there arent any reasons to dicontinue these
faxes. I only re-started. them six weeks ago in response to a resumption of
MI5 harassment; and I. think I will need to be more convinced of absence of
persecution before. I discontinue my complaints.
The Newscasters. are still watching
In the last few weeks. there have been at least a couple of fairly overt
instances of "interactive watching" by newscasters. I reported. this in a
previous. "MI5 Persecution Update".
These instances are really very rare compared to 1990-91, when. there were
many dozens of such. occurrences. Undoubtedly the reduction is due to my
practice of. videotaping everything I see. Recently I had the opportunity
of showing. this years "happenings" (Jon Snow/Nicholas Witchell) to my
psychiatrist, and. he agreed that in both cases the newscasters were
expressing merriment without visible cause, and that objectively it. might
be. possible for my claims to be true - although of course other people
reported similar thoughts to him, and. this thinking is usually a symptom
of. illness.
Read About the MI5. Persecution on the World Wide Web
The March 1998 issue (number 42) of .net Magazine reviews the. website

MI5. Waste Taxpayer Millions on Pointless Hate-Campaign
Recently I was talking to an independent observer about the nature. and
purpose of the perceived campaign. of persecution against me. The person I
spoke to, a highly intelligent man,. said he was struck by the utter
pointlessness of the. perceived campaign against me. He also said that, if
my theories were in fact true, many people would have to be. involved, in
the surveillance itself, and in the technical side of the. delivery of
information from my home to. TV studios for example, if the "interactive
watching" were happening as described. He voiced these. thoughts without
any prompting from me; but both I and other observers had arrived. at
pretty much the. same conclusions, some years ago.
I saw a team of four men. at Toronto Airport in 1993
To carry out the surveillance alone, full-time, would employ four or. five
men, or their equivalent in terms of man-hours.. Each man would "work" an
eight-hour shift, so you would need. at least three men doing the
surveillance, plus a connecting link /. manager. An indicator that this
estimate. is correct arrived in 1993, when I was accosted by one of a group
of four men at Toronto Airport; he said, laughing, "if. he tries to run
away. well find him". Plainly these were the men who had been involved in
the intrusive surveillance of me for. the preceding three years.
On. other occasions, I have seen the same man on two or three occasions. On
one such occasion, at Ottawas Civic Hospital in. November 1996; he gave his
name to the doctor as. "Alan Holdsworth" or some such; my hearing is not
very good. sometimes and I am not sure of the surname, although I am sure
"Alan" was his first name. I saw exactly the same man. again in Ottawa, at
the airport, in July 1998.. Obviously, other people must be "working" with
this person; he would not be the sole agent. employed in this case.
Usenet. readers views on the Cost to MI5 of Running the Campaign
Here's. what a couple of other people on internet newsgroups / Usenet
(uk.misc) had to say regarding the cost. of running such an operation...
PO: >Have some sense, grow up and smell. reality. What you are talking about
PO: >would take loads of planning, tens. of thousands of pounds and lots of
PO:. >people involved in the planning, execution and maintenance of it. You
PO: >must have a very high opinion of. yourself to think you are worth it.
and......
PM: >But why? And why you?. Do you realize how much it would cost to keep
PM: >one person under continuous surveillance. for five years? Think about
PM: >all the. man/hours. Say they _just_ allocated a two man team and a
PM: >supervisor.. OK., Supervisor's salary, say, #30,000 a year. Two men,
PM: >#20,000 a year each. But they'd need to work in shifts -- so it. would
PM: >be six men at #20,000 (which with on-costs would work out. at more
like
PM: >#30,000 to. the employer.)
PM:. >
PM:. >So, we're talking #30,000 x 6. #180,000. plus say, #40,000 for the
PM: >supervisor. #220,000. Then you've got. the hardware involved. And
PM: >any transcription that needs doing. You don't think the 'Big. Boss'
PM: >would listen to hours and hours of. tapes, do you.
PM:. >
PM: >So, all in all, you couldn't actually. do the job for much less than
PM:. >a quarter million a year. Over five years. What are you doing that makes
PM: >it worth. the while of the state to spend over one and a quarter million
PM:. >on you?
Those are pretty much the sort of calculations that went. through my head
once I stopped to consider what it must be costing. them to run this
operation. At the very least, a quarter million. a year - and probably much
more,. given the intrusive and human-resource-intensive methods
employed. Times nine years.. Equals well over two million pounds - and
probably. much, much more.
Its wasteful for. someone with my skills to be unemployed
The wastefulness of the MI5 campaign against me is not just that of. futile
expenditure on their side.. It is also extremely wasteful for someone with
my talents to. be unemployed and on a disability pension. I am highly
qualified in numerate disciplines, yet am unable to work,. specifically
because of the MI5 hate-campaign. against me. It is a terrible waste of
resources for. a supposedly efficient economy like that of the UK to be
squandering the talents of a skilled and. capable worker.
I made every effort to remain in employment for as. long as I could, but
ultimately I was. defeated by MI5s employment of massive resources
specifically. targeted on my workplaces with the sole aim of seeing me
evicted. from those workplaces. You might expect this sort of behaviour
from the Stasi or. some other secret police force in a communist country
where. labour is cheap, and the governments aim on seeing its citizens
confined; but for a. supposedly free and efficient economy like Britains,
the wastefulness resulting both directly. and indirectly from the Security
Services activities is simply criminal, and should never. be allowed.
The international dimension means the. costs are multiplied many times
overoer had any sense, then they have surely taken leave of them. over the
last. nine years.
Four years of persecution. in Canada
The persecution. re-started within less than five minutes of my arrival in
Canada, as. documented above, and in the "frequently asked
questions" article on the website. The words,. "if he tries to run away
well find him" spoken by one of the harassers at Toronto Airport are. now
imprinted on my. mind.
A year later I emigrated to Canada, intending to find a job. and settle
there, hoping that MI5s interest in me might dim. with time. I did manage
to. find work there, but my hopes of avoiding Security Service interest
were ground into dust. As detailed above, I. saw the same man in November
1996 and July 1998, both times. in Ottawa. Apart from these encounters,
there were numerous incidents between 1994 and. 1998 of harassment, of an
identical nature and in most cases using identical words to what. had
occurred in the UK. It. became quite clear to me that the permanent
surveillance and harassment operation which MI5. had subjected me to in
England. was being continued.
For a team of. four or five men to be employed overseas must cost a lot
more than if they. operate in their home country. And for MI5 to continue
the operation for a period of over four years, continuously, must. cost
many hundreds of thousands of pounds.. This confirms my belief that the
state is funding the campaign against mehat the. Security Service receives
current annual funding of #160M. Divided by 1850 staff, works out. at
#86,000. But. the unit annual cost of each "watcher" must be much higher
than this, especially given the frequently mobile. and overseas nature of
their actions of the last few years. A very conservative figure might be. a
little over #100,000 pa for each of. a team of five people, or half a
million pounds per year. For nine years, so far. So. the most conservative
estimate of the surveillance element. alone is perhaps four or five million
pounds since. 1990.
This guesstimate is of course theoretical - I am. not privy to inside
details of how MI5 split their. funding. But to take some other examples,
the cost of a US counter-surveillance specialist per day. is USD
5,000. Even if the. agents permanently assigned to me are not of this
calibre - even if they employ specialists. when difficult work planting
bugs etc. is encountered - their salary and support costs must still be
very high. The individual agents are doing well for themselves as. they are
well-paid to exercise psychopathic instincts which in. any sane society
would. see them in prison; but the taxpayers who must fund this terribly
wasteful exercise are being "done" out. of hundreds of thousands of pounds
each. year.
It must be emphasised that the above estimates are. highly
conservative. Besides the surveillance operation, it must carry a. high
cost in man-hours to propagate covert slanders through. the population; to
setup and maintain. the "interactive watching" links to TV and radio
stations, which these organisations continue desparately to "lie. and
deny"; and to. induce antipathy in co-workers which would not otherwise
exist.
Why they. are wasting Millions of Pounds on a "Nobody from South London"
As remarked. in the prologue to this article, it is really most
extraordinary that the Security Service spends. a chunk of its budget,
every. year for nine years so far, on a meaningless campaign against a
"nobody from South London". That they. are spending such a large amount of
money has been. confirmed to me on several occasions, usually by oblique
references to "its costing this country millions". The. supposed
"logic" behind the persecution is that. MI5 wish to avoid their harassment
of me, and the involvement of the UK media, to be. made public; yet as the
reader will appreciate that is a circular. argument, "theyre doing it
because. they want to keep it secret and avoid humiliation for themselves
and their country" begs the question, "why did they start. doing it in the
first place?", to which in truth. I myself do not know the answer.
Plainly MI5 with its rich budget can afford half a million. pounds a year
to waste on a. "nobody from South London". Some time ago I was talking to a
British surveillance professional. on Compuserve who told me "this work
costs a lot of money and is usally because the person I. am following has
done something (usually criminal) to warrant all this money. and time being
spent." Yet. in this particular case it is plainly not the "victims
fault" that the harassment is. taking place. The hate-campaign against me
is completely the. creation of the obsessive psychologies of the MI5 agents
who. have made themselves my persecutors; it is obviously a
"personal" campaign for them, and for. years they misuse taxpayer funding
to feed their insane, unnatural and. fixated fantasies.

Four. Years of "MI5 Persecution" Posts on Internet Newsgroups
For approximately the first three. years of the MI5 persecution, from June
1990 until late 1992, I kept as quiet as. possible, in the hope that by not
reacting, MI5s interest in me would decrease and. they would simply go away
of their own accord. This. is the sort of behaviour some people employ
against bullies; if the bullies arent getting. a reaction, then they might
simply go away and victimize. someone else.
Unfortunately, this tactic didnt work. The quieter I. became, the more
shrill. and hysterical the noise from the Security Service operatives. For
about two years I didnt watch TV news at all.. Yet this only heightened
their obsessed fixation; they. continued to follow me wherever I went, they
continued to induce harassment at work by managers and fellow workers,. and
they continued to encourage me to commit suicide. They. seemed to regard my
refusal to react as. a crime which they would have to "put right" by ever
more extreme forms. of abuse.
Finally, in 1995, I changed tactics radically. Since late 1994 I had. had
accounts with internet. providers in Ontario, Canada. I discovered the
cornucopia of. internet newsgroups, on every topic from consumer
electronics, to politics and legal. topics, and I discovered online
services such as Compuserve and AOL. In May 1995, I. made the first posting
to. the conspiracy newsgroup, on the subject of "BBCs Hidden Shame".
BBC's Hidden. Shame
The. internet newsgroup discussion, which has now reached its fourth
anniversary, started. with an article in alt.conspiracy, which I reproduce
here.
Date: Thu May 4. 18:27:24 1995
Newsgroups:. alt.conspiracy
Subject: BBC's Hidden. Shame
Remember the two-way televisions in George Orwell's 1984? The ones which watched. you
back? Which you could never get rid of, only the sound could be. turned down?
Well the country which brought Orwell into the. world has made his nightmare follow into
the world after him. Since 1990 the British have been waging war against. one of their
own. citizens using surveillance to invade privacy and a campaign of abuse in the
transmitted. media in their efforts to humiliate their "victim".
And the most remarkable thing about it is that what they do. is not even illegal - the
UK has no. laws to protect the privacy of its citizens, nor does it proscribe harassment
or abuse except in the case of racial. abuse.
A lot of people in England know this to be going. on, yet so far they have maintained
perfect "omerta"; not a sound, not a squeak. has escaped into the English press, and for
all the covert harassment absolutely nothing has. come out into the public domain.
Have the British gone mad? I think we. should be told
At this point, I did not name. MI5 as my persecutors. I was still unsure
that they were the ones responsible for the "psychological terrorism".. In
followup posts however I did. name them; and the persecutors have never
denied the claim; so I think my guess. is valid. (The Security Service
Tribunal in 1997 have said "no determination in your. favour was made", but
it is. a well established fact that MI5 lies routinely to the Tribunal
which has never found in favour of a plaintiff, so no. conclusions can be
drawn from. this.)
This first post was made. to alt.conspiracy, but further posts were made to
the UK-local newsgroups,. in particular uk.misc but also uk.legal and
uk.politics. (which is now called uk.politics.misc). Some time ago I tried
to take the battle to the Compuserve forums, UKPOLITICS. (which is now
called UKCURRENT - current. affairs), but my articles were censored by the
forum operators. Such censorship. is impossible on the internet newsgroups.
Police Refuse to. Act
I have complained several times to the Metropolitan Police,. who have each
time refused. to help.

This in itself dos not suggest that the police have it in for you.. The old bill
operates on extremely tight spending limits forced. on them by that pillock Michael
Howard, and. without evidence, they often have higher priorities than chasing something
that. cannot go to court.
I doubt that the police are actually being. leant on, but they probably realise that if
they looked into this, they would be leant on hard. The met always. stays away from
anything that looks like. it has Defence, Security or secret service interest already,
because they realise that they are below these government. agencies in the general

If I walked into my local nick and complained that MI5. were snooping on me, they would

with only five years to go before he. retires doesn't want to start fucking about with
somebody who has. incurred the wrath of Stella Rimington. He would rather deal with the
lost. dogs and driving licence producers, eat his cheese and pickle sandwiches and piss
off home at the end of his shift than have. some high ranking spook having a go at his
boss and getting him. a bollocking.
In short, you have earned much sympathy but little surprise.. Just remember that saying
about the enemy of. your enemies.
Most recently, I wrote in March 1999. to Charing Cross Police Station
CID. They did not acknowledge or reply to. my letter. When I phoned them
up, the detective Id written to treated me to a. sadly not unusual display
of. police bigotry, with an uneducated rant about "your paranoid rubbish".
It would be nice to think that such uneducated. bigotry is something other
than wholly typical. of police behaviour, but unfortunately that is an
illusion that. is rapidly dispelled.
Uncorruptible. Jon Snow of Channel Four News
From previous articles the reader will know what I think Jon Snow. has
recently been watching me while he reads Channel Four. News in the
evening. Recently I digitized a. few moments of one such broadcast, where
his face twists into a smile, without. there being anything in the news
broadcast to cause. merriment. Here is a usenet post from some time ago on
MI5s. "bought and paid for" tools in the so-called "free" press.
Peter. Harding (harding@ermine.ox.ac.uk) wrote:

Can't disagree with. that sentiment.
Wasn't it documented that MI5 sometimes "bought" journalists and. broadcasters?

It has been reported several times. The. most recent was in Private Eye,
a few months back. As I recall they. also wanted information from him;
journalists would. be a natural choice for members of the Security Service
and the. Secret Intelligence Service for information sources.

He was most concerned that many others would have accepted such. an
offer. However, we can probably make. an educated guess as to some of
those who accepted:. Nigel West (Rupert Allason, MP) and Chapman Pincher
would come near to the top of the. list.

Corrupt Security Service agents steal millions. from taxpayers
Money is of course a factor in the grand equation. which is the MI5
persecution.. It costs money for the Security Service to "buy" people in
the media etc. But that is only a small. part of their expenditure of
taxpayers resources. Most of the expenditure is directly on the. salaries
if the agents involved; and. in this post I put forward the theory that MI5
are trying to draw. out their involvement for as long as possible, very
cynically, to maximise their income and. line their own pockets.
At each stage. they have tried to pretend that I am something out of the ordinary.
Either I was very stupid. ("he's an idiot") or very clever ("he's like a genius").
Either I was a threat. to Western civilization (Levin once referred to me as the next
Hitler) or I was completely. defenceless ("a soft toy").
Now, it should be obvious to. any person with common-sense that I am not out of the
ordinary in any way. I. have an IQ which is average for the Web, I am racially white
European, and there are plenty of other people with schizophrenia or. epilepsy out there
who haven't been. targeted for MI5 attention, so why me?
I think the answer is that the MI5 agents who. harass me have cynically exploited the
situation by painting me as extraordinary in order to assure themselves. of well-paid
employment funded by the ordinary British taxpayer. To. put it bluntly, they are
stealing millions of pounds from the taxpayer to feed their own. pockets.
This assertion is supported by the observation that it's the same agents. who are doing
the harassment. Six months. ago in a local hospital I was harassed by someone whose face
I had seen (he. had stared straight at me aggressively, at the time I just thought it
was some nutter but it turns out he was one of "them") aboard a KLM. flight a couple of
years ago. It's presumably. been the same people most of the time. I've seen the way
contractors act when they don't want. their positions terminated. Would these agents
really want to lose their. well-paid employment harassing me? Presumably they are
promising their bosses a "breakthrough" (ie my demise) real-soon-now. and have been for
the last. seven years, while all the while these MI5 agents skim millions
off. the taxpayer.
I wouldn't mind a job like that. Perhaps if I persecute. myself a little bit, like
standing. in front of a mirror and shouting mindless obscenities, do you reckon I'd get
a slice of the caky Service Tribunal. This year Nick Brooks,. current
Tribunal Secretary, confirmed to me that he. could not think of a single
case where the Tribunal had found in favour of a complainant.. Here is my
usenet. post from two years ago.
Subject: MI5:. "It wasn't us"
Newsgroups:. uk.misc,uk.legal
Organization: Toronto. Free-Net
"The Security Service Tribunal have now investigated your complaint. and have

your. complaint."

Well that's a relief. then. All that spamming for nothing eh. Gaw blimey, if
they say they're not doing it then it can't be. them, can it?
In a recent letter to Mr Brooks I. expressed the opinion that the Tribunal
were unable to fulfil their responsibilities in the. face of MI5
falsehoods. Nevertheless, I do intend. to make another complaint to the
Tribunal in the near future, despite the Tribunal appearing. to be a
toothless. watchdog.
Discrimination against a Unit. Minority
MI5. have been very clear in their instructions as to what I should
do. They have openly. shouted at me the word "suicide", and also from the
other abuse it is clear that they. want my existence terminated.
This point is covered. in more detail in a previous article. The following
post describes the xenophobic nature of MI5s campaign against. me. They
have refined their bigotry. down to a unit minority, yet they make use of
the discrimination against the mentally ill which is a feature. of current
British. society.

I. don't have florid symptoms. But I'm in a difficult situation, because those
people who don't know, aren't going to believe, and those who do,. they just go
along with the crowd. It's never a good idea to. go against the grain, and the
grain here is defined. by interests in the establishment and the media. Even
people who could say out loud what was happening won't, because then. there's a
risk that. they'll be seen as traitors and ostracised.
Usually this type of 'hidden abuse' is racial and targetted at. a racial
minority within a country. You keep the minorities out. of the good jobs, but
you don't admit discrimination exists.. It happens everywhere, not just in
Britain. The persecution that is going on now. is in reality a refined form of
racism. Instead of "nigger" it's "nutter", and abusing the mentally. ill is
still socially acceptable today. In 50 years it. might not be, but today there
isn't any social or legal. sanction against it.
So really. they've refined racial harassment down to a minority of one. The
words may be different, but the methods are. the same.

MI5 Persecution: BBC Newscasters Lie &. Deny They're Watching Me
Central to the persecution. campaign waged against me for some nine years
now by the Security Service is their use of. the media, and in particular
the broadcast media, to make clear to me that I am under surveillance. and
being watched within my own home,. even by BBC newscasters while they read
the news. This. is really an act of arrogance; MI5 and their tools in the
television and radio are so. sure that they can never be caught, that they
have many times made explicity clear on broadcast programmes that. they are
as capable of seeing me as I am of seeing the broadcast. pictures. Even
when they have known I am taping. the programmes they still carry on this
practice; for examples of TVand radio presenters caught. "in action", see
the Evidence area of. my website.

It started with a. Newscaster, and it continues with Newscasters today
The very. first incident in the story started with a reaction by an ITN
newscaster, Sue. Carpenter, in June of 1990, almost nine years ago now. She
reacted to what. she saw in my living room at home as she read the news. My
mother had brought an. apple for me into the room, whereupon the newsreader
smirked and giggled, apparently finding this funny. I couldn't. believe
what I was seeing. I carried on watching news and other. television
programmes to see. if presenters would show signs of "interactive
watching"; to my surprise,. this happened again and again. Unfortunately, I
did not have my wits sufficiently about me to. videotape these programmes,
and it is now almost impossible to obtain recordings dating. back to 1990.
However, I. have been busy recording everything Ive watched the last couple
of years, and the taping has yielded some nuggets, which you will. find if
you point your Web browser at the "evidence" area of my website, whose. URL
address is given above. Strangely it. is not particularly the BBC who are
"after. me" at the moment (with the exception of occasional fire from
Nicholas Witchell), but that supposed paragon of virtue and decency. Jon
Snow. of Channel Four TV News (he actually works for ITN), who once claimed
hed turned. down MI5s offer of a tax-free salary. I will cover Snows recent
actions in a. future article.
BBCs Hidden. Shame
The first ever. Usenet post (internet newsgroup article) on the subject of
the MI5 bugging / BBC watching occurred, as stated in. a previous article,
in early May. 1995. It is reproduced here;
Date: Thu. May 4 18:27:24 1995

Subject: BBC's Hidden. Shame
Remember the two-way. televisions in George Orwell's 1984? The ones which
watched you back? Which you could never get rid of,. only the sound could
be. turned down?
Well. the country which brought Orwell into the world has made his
nightmare follow into the world after him. Since. 1990 the British have
been waging war against one of their. own citizens using surveillance to
invade. privacy and a campaign of abuse in the transmitted media in their
efforts to. humiliate their "victim".
I. suppose "BBCs Hidden Shame" is more of a wish than a fact. It may be
hidden, but. the BBC and other media and security organisations seem to
have. no shame whatever in their anti-social, not to say criminal,
actions. Nor do the general public, who seem quite happy. to parrot the
vilest. obscenities without much hesitation or apparently thought.
Martyn Lewis, Nicholas Witchell. and the rest
Most of the harassment occurred in 1990-92,. when I wasnt making any
recordings, and the BBC. wont release copies of current affairs programmes
from that period..... so although I can remember there were many incidents
in that. time, even many specifics, I cant dig up the actual programmes to
flesh out the. bones.
This year, there has been at. least one incident with Nicholas Witchell as
newsreader, which I have successfully recorded and. digitized,
i.e. converted into a computer Quicktime movie file.. This has not yet
found its. way onto my website (Im a busy man, dontcha know) but you can be
sure I will let the readership of these. articles know when that clip makes
it. onto the web. The Witchell clip was recorded on Saturday 10 April 1999
at 7pm,. and shows Witchell trying to restrain his features from collapsing
into a smirk. First his upper lip quivers for. several minutes, then with
the non-excuse of a non-joke his. entire face twists into a grin. It looks
as if he finds me so funny, that he allows. himself to submerge any
pretence at professionalism in a sea of MI5-inspired sarcasm. and
harassment.
The two BBC newscasters whose reactions to me I. can remember most vividly
over the years are Martyn. Lewis and Nicholas Witchell. I can remember
thinking years. ago that Michael Buerk was also seeing me at home; and if
the other two are watching then there would. be no reason why he wouldnt be
doing the same; but in. all honesty I cannot remember a single clear
instance of his reacting through facial. or verbal expression to me.
I can remember several instances of Martyn Lewis reacting to what. he saw
of me, however. In early 1992 I was watching the BBC news with Lewis on. a
small black-and-white portable TV at. my then home in Oxford. I threw a
term of abuse at. Lewis; he flinched, then gave a grin and made a comment
from which I understood that he had been on my side, but might. have
changed his mind as a result of what. Id just said to him.
And in. spring 1991 I remember Martyn Lewis clearly reacting to what he saw
of me. at my then accommodation in Woking, Surrey, by continuing to stare
at some fixed. point near the camera after the news had finished -
presumably this is where. the monitor interactively showing pictures of my
room. was located.
Why would BBC and. other Newscasters Watch and Harass Me, Watching Them?
This is a very difficult question, and. I dont actually know the answer. It
is a matter of record that the Secret Services are very much part of. the
Establishment. The recent exposure of the "MI6. Agent List" on the
internet, and its coverage in the newspapers, reveals how much. MI5 and MI6
are. recruited from the ranks of the Establishment. Obviously the
relationship. is bi-directional; the Establishment influences MI5/MI6, but
the secret services (well, perhaps not so secret now we know who works. for
MI6!!!) also influence the machinery of. power and information
dissemination i.e. media in this country. So. they must have a lot of
covert leverage. with the BBC and ITN.
Some of this leverage is. obviously through bribery. It is a matter of
record that. MI5 tried some years ago to "buy" Jon Snow of Channel Four
TV. He turned. them down - obviously they must have approached other media
people as well, and from the lack of other. reports of people turning them
down, it may be presumed that some other journalists will. have accepted
the sugared carrots put before them. Ironically, Jon Snow has been. taking
part in the recent "watching" actions against. me - but why he has allowed
himself to be used by the secret services. is something which I do not
know.
Perhaps the Security Service uses blackmail to twist arms. of journalists
into co-operating with them? I have. always thought there was something
slightly odd about. Martyn Lewiss demeanour. At the time of the Ron Davies
"rough trade" scandal it was reported that MI5. had known all about Davies
predilections and the sham of. his pretence to be a happily married
man. Perhaps. MI5 have been able to dig something up from Martyn Lewiss
private life to blackmail him into acting on their behalf? And. if there
wasnt anything before the "newscaster watching" started then. there most
certainly. is something now.... once theyve started watching, the
newscasters will surely wish their. activities to remain covered-up, and
co-operate with the. security service.
"Newscaster Watching" Deliberately Constructed. to Mimic Schizophrenia
Presumably this is the first case in. history of television journalists
actually taking part in acts of real-time, live spying and. reacting
against one of their viewers. What you. have to understand, though, is that
I was quite mentally healthy in June 1990, certainly relative to. November
1992, when after two and a half years of harassment. I was finally admitted
to hospital. as an out-patient. MI5 decided from the outset that they would
make me mad;. they constructed the media harassment to resemble what would
be reported by a person with mental illness;. and then they carried on
years of abuse to inflict. on me the condition which they wished to use as
an excuse to cover. up their abuses.
I sold my portable TV in autumn 1990 and stopped. watching television
regularly. I realise. now that this may have been a mistake. What I should
have. done was to watch TV and listen to the radio, but tape-record
everything and make a note of. what each excerpt meant to me. I would then
be in a much stronger position as regards to evidence that. I am now. That
is what I am trying to do now,. but unsurprisingly the TV/radio presenters
have. stopped getting at me, now they know they are being recorded.
When I started publicising my case. on internet newsgroups in 1995, I was
met. with the disbelief one might expect to be accorded to a mentally ill
person who talks about "newscaster watching" and media persecution.. Some
newsgroup participants thought I had. started a "troll", an invention made
to obtain a reaction; one bright spark even suggested a group. of
psychology students were behind the articles. But most people. thought the
articles were symptomatic of derangement -. and that is exactly what MI5
want. people to think. MI5 chose me as a target because I was mildly
mentally ill at the outset in 1990, although I stress my illness then. was
very. mild in comparison with November 1992, and because they knew that
enough abuse would (a) make me much more seriously ill, and (b). once I was
more. ill, they would "get away" with a harassment deliberately constructed
to look like the symptoms. of paranoid schizophrenia.
Martyn Lewis Denies & Lies, But Wont. in Writing
In February 1997 I wrote to BBC Viewer. & Listener Correspondence and asked
them to investigate the claim. that their newscasters had engaged in
"real-time spying" on me. They replied that they had asked. Martyn Lewis
and Michael Buerk whether they had engaged in such practices,. and that
they had both made verbal denials to VLC, but. were refusing to put their
denials. in writing.
To me. it looks as if Lewis and Buerk are happy to lie verbally but not in
writing, because written falsehoods would place them unambiguously in. the
wrong, whereas. they can try to talk their way out of verbal lies if they
are ever caught, or perhaps even deny the verbal. lies completely? If they
lie without shame, then why would they have any shame. about future lies
about. lying?
BBC-VLC also said that the BBC "would never. engage in any form of
surveillance activity" such as that described. Clearly Martyn Lewis. and
the rest. have lied to their own organisations personnel about their
criminal actions. So much for the "objective", "truthful". BBC, a nest of
shabby. liars.
Summons against the BBC, for Nuisance caused by. Newscaster Spying
In March 1997 I issued a. civil summons against the BBC, seeking injunction
against further "newscaster spying", and token damages. for what the BBC
had done. to me until that date. The purpose of the summons was to try to
"smoke. out" the BBC, since obviously I did not have good evidence which
would be necessary. for either a civil or criminal case to be made against
them. My summons was worded. as follows;
1. The plaintiff is. and was at all material times residing at [home
address]. At some time prior to or during June. 1990, persons of unknown
identity entered Plaintiff's premises and installed. concealed television
equipment in. said premises.
2. A campaign of harassment was launched. against the Plaintiff by the
persons of unknown identity, which in part took the form. of instigating
harassment by BBC TV newscasters (including specifically. Michael Buerk and
Martyn Lewis) as they read news bulletins,. by making direct and personal
comments to. Plaintiff.
3. The campaigns purpose was to subject Plaintiff to. great mental stress
and induce mental breakdown. As a result of it Plaintiff. did indeed suffer
from severe. mental strain in 1990-97.
4. In. order to avoid the mental strain being caused to him the Plaintiff
has been compelled. to stop watching BBC TV news. Defendant therefore
committed the tort of private nuisance, since normal use of. home was
interfered. with.
5. Plaintiff claims a permanent injunction prohibiting further. nuisance,
and damages for nuisance suffered limited. to 5,000.
Naturally, my attempt to smoke-out the BBC and. its lying newscasters
failed. The BBCs litigation department. sought to have my summons struck
out; and they succeeded. in doing so, on the grounds of my action
"disclosing no reasonable cause of. action". I was also prevented from
issuing further civil claims against the. BBC without leave of the
Court.. Apparently litigants-in-person frequently / usually have their
claims struck out with this wording, regardless of. the merit of their
claims.
BBC Suppresses my Claims of "Watching by. Newscasters"
BBCs staff magazine Ariel ran my advert "BBC Newsreaders Spying. on my
home" for one issue in the Personal. category on 8/July/1997 before it was
spotted and axed by. editor Robin Reynolds; please see
webpage;. http://www.pair.com/spook/evidence/plaint/ariel.htm
Clearly the BBC will not allow claims of. its wrongdoing to be made public
in the media channels it. controls.
On several occasions people. said to my face that harassment from the TV
was happening. On the first day I worked in Oxford, I. spent the evening in
the local pub the Rose and Crown with. the company's technical director
Ian, and Phil, another employee. Ian made a few. references to me and said
to Phil, as if. in an aside, "Is he the bloke who's been on TV?" to which
Phil replied, "Yes,. I think so".
The reader might think that mere. "watching" by newscasters etc might be a
relatively benign happening. But it is not;. it is part of MI5s framework
of harassment and. lies. On many occasions the reactions of the BBCs
newscasters to me has been in the nature of. sarcasm, implicit contempt and
abuse. This. is visible in Witchells news programme mentioned above, where
he engages in. abuse by laughing at me during his newsreading. It was
particularly visible in the early period of 1990-92, and as late as. Autumn
1993, when during a Newsnight. broadcast Jeremy Paxman interviewed a
football person about soccer hooliganism, and the interviewee gave vent. to
an unsubtle rant about "theyre idiots, theyre just. idiots, keep up the
surveillance". Paxman started grinning, showing he understood and. was
taking part. in the abuse being perpetrated on that programme.
Conclusion
The MI5 Persecution started with harassment by. television newscasters, and
today harassment by TV and radio. presenters still forms a key part of MI5s
activities against me. When this business started in. June 1990 I was in
relatively good health of mind.. Years of persecution by the secret police
and their. mouthpieces in the state-run BBC and other media eroded my
health until MI5 achieved their aim of. seeing me rendered mentally ill in
November 1992. The diagnosis which was forced on. me unfortunately and
ironically meant that my reports of. the harassment are disregarded,
because the mentally ill are. second-class citizens in todays Britain.
Yet TV and radio harassment continues, albeit in a reduced form,. despite
my taping all the programmes I watch, resulting in my. being able to obtain
and demonstrate objectively on the website. instances of media presenters
attacking me. Unfortunately. these recorded instances are quite tenuous; I
might understand them,. the presenters understand what it is theyre doing,
but. despite many thousands of people knowing the truth of the "newscaster
watching", the omerta continues and they continue. to refuse to admit the
truth of. the matter. It is a terrible indictment of British society that
there is not even one. decent person willing to speak out. I look forward
to the day when the truth does finally. emerge, and the mass corruption
which has allowed the MI5. persecution to take place is finally purged and
the Establishment criminals caught. and appropriately punished.
