upgrade?Nvidia AGP8x FX5200 etc.?
I am using the GE Force4 MX440 and it works for email, YouTube, and
the WinME MovieMaker program still handles our old Sony VX1000
camcorder. Occasionally I crank out small win9x swdev projects mainly
with VC++4.0 (yeah, its ancient, like me). On the shelf are DevStudio
5(win98se) and VisualStudio6(NT4). Stuff on the shelf seems to rarely
come off the shelf.
I thought I should do a little housecleaning and I discovered I also
have an unused Kaser FX5200 128 MB Nvidia graphic card. It's box says
it has some nice nview Multi-Display capabilities and "TV-out support
(NTSC/PAL) TV system". Will it support a decent flatscreen?
This homebuilt is on a Gigabyte 7VT600P-RZC mob, 400 watt MGE
psu(should I get a bigger PSU?), 1 GB DDR RAM(Should I add 1 or 2 GB
RAM?). CPU is an Athlon XP 1066 MHz.

Speed Up Your Computer By Cleaning Your Registry
What is the registry?
The registry is a database that stores information necessary to
configure the system for your computers users, applications, and
hardware devices.
Why does it need to be cleaned (repaired)?
Every time you install software on your computer, change a system
setting, delete a program, all the changes are kept in the registry.
Over time, your registry grows, however, it also can end up fragmented
and full of unwanted registry items.
These unwanted items occur by removing attributes of programs or
deleting programs you no longer want without using the Add or Remove
Programs function.
Some programs do not always come with proper uninstall programs, so
you are only able to delete a portion of the program.
Or possibly you have moved a file, and now the program that used this
file is unable to find it or it's an orphan file left over from an
unsuccessful attempt to delete a program completely.
In short, over time you end up with numerous misplaced files and
objects which your computer can not process, this can slow your
computer considerably, make start-up take forever and sometimes cause
errors that will "crash" your computer....

Windows Media Player-No Audio
Windows Media Player for Windows Me
I suddenly lost audio through Windows Media Player. It will not play my
audio CDs. This is what I have done.
I tried installing my Sound Blaster Live driver. It processed through until
it stopped and sent this message: â??File Driver6.CAB on Windows Me edition is
needed.â?? At this point I did not know what to do next and aborted the driver
installation.
I then went to the Dell troubleshooting diagnostics for audio and it told me
to search for the following files:
midi=mmsystem.dll
wave=mmsystem.dll
I did a search and the files were not listed. The Dell diagnostics told me
to contact my manufacturer if the files were missing.
So, can someone assist me what to do next?

Reinstalling Windows Me
It sounded like it was too easy!!
Successfully reinstalled Windows Me this morning, subsequently taking
several hours downloading all the updates. In the process of downloading
required utilities, I ran into a memory problem which made no sense. However
I have subsequently found out that previous partitions appear to have
remained, although they are not recognized in MY COMPUTER.
Background: This is a 10 GB Compaq Laptop which is shipped with the O/S on
the C: drive and the Recovery System on D:. A couple of years ago, I had
created a new partition to house all of my data files., OE Message store,
tmp and temp.
Currently, MY COMPUTER shows C: at 4.86 GB and D: at 2.72 GB, however
SYSTEMS INFORMATION shows the following; 3 Partitions Size 9.37 GB
Partition Disk#0 (Partition #0) Size 4.88 GB
Partition Disk#0 (Partition #1) Size 2.73 GB
Partition Disk #0 (Partition #2) Size 1.75 GB
BootIt NG shows the following;
MBR Entry 0 Partition 4997nMB FAT-32
Data Partition 1796 MB FAT-32
MBR Entry 1 Partition 2793 MB Extended
System_S Volume 2793 MB FAT-32
I had thought I understood that the Compaq Recovery Discs would reformat my
computer and restore to a Factory level. Obviously not so. I'm ready to
start over but this time I need a little more guidance as to how to do it
properly. Was I supposed to format C: and D: separately before starting? D0
I use the startup disk for this or should I use BootIt NG to format and wipe
everything clean?
I'm on my way out for the evening and will be busy tomorrow afternoon but
will be ready to tackle this thereafter.

AdAware SE Personal Build
I just read the tail end of the recent thread regarding AdAware SE and would
appreciate if someone wouldn't mind taking a few minutes more and clarifying
this for me.
My version of AdAware is SE1R210.27.12.2007. Any time I check for updates
I'm told that I am up to date. A visit to the Lavasoft website explains that
support for this version expired December 31, 2007 but that I should replace
it with AdAware 2007. The problem is that 2007 requires Windows 2000 or
better.
Mike has explained to Heather that Lavasoft has fixed the problem with the
dated definitions and that she can download new definitions for AdAware SE
from the Lavasoft site. I do indeed see where the DOWNLOAD button is on the
webpage that Mike referenced but Lavasoft is still saying that they no
longer support AdAware SE.
So the question is, did Lavasoft simply fix the issues related to dated
definitions or is AdAware SE now back with full support. Given that this
'puter operates with Windows Me, it would appear to me that either SE
remains supported otherwise I must uninstall it because I won't be able to
run AdAware 2007.
Am I right or did I miss something?

hello, trying to offer some long distance help to a friend who's running ME
on a P3-450.
He may have inadvertently caused this problem from a windows tweak, but his
computer now does not do an auto shut-down from the "start" menu, as it did
before, but simply re-boots.
Is there is a windows tweak that could affect this, or is it more likely a

System Restore has a CreateRestore option?
I ask (again) because, IMHO, it doesn't make good sense for it not to
and Andy Rathbone, in his books Windows Me for Dummies, describes
System Restore as having a CreateRestore point as well as an option to
select a prior creation.
Our WinME computer, working pretty well for eight years now, has no
such option or I sure as he!! can't find it....
Another peculiarity was, at first I could not get the Movie Maker to
work with our Sony VX1000 camcorder. I got some support from MS which
fixed that.
And I found one of the Sony Blue Ray RW DVDs worked well with winME
although Sony said it shouldn't. I think a lot of us have seen that
kind of good news several times.
Can someone tell me if my SystemRestore is "off" or is it just me? Tag: Spywareblaster Update 1/28/07 Tag: 293025
Hotfixes and Updates for Me
I have a six-year-old Dell with Windows Me that I would like to give to a
friend or close acquaintance, but first I want to remove personal stuff like
letters (no porn, nothing that shouldn't be seen by anybody, but of no
business to others). I understand that the Format command will accomplish
as much as I need, but Format will also remove the operating system (won't
it?). I have all the CDs that came with this machine when I bought it new,
so I ought to be able to restore Windows Me. But what about all the
modifications that took place before MS stopped support for Me? Can I get
the hotfixes, etc., that bring this computer up to the level it was when MS
discontinued support?
TIA.

New Computer, ME incompatable, XP is only upgrade
In Microsofts great wisdom, they made the XP professional upgrade require
windows already be installed. I have a new computer so it started without
windows. Not knowing a way around the problem, I installed (or at least
tried to) Windows ME. It halts due to a lack of compatable drivers. Restart

Registry Defragmenters
Hello:
There have been a few threads recently on the use of registry cleaners.
While some people like them and have not had any bad experiences with them,
the consensus seems to be that such tools should be avoided by inexperienced
users.
I have also seen registry defragmenter utilities available, both as part of
commercial software, as well as shareware and freeware. Does the advice to
avoid registry cleaners also apply to registry defragmenters - that is to
avoid them?
Is it best simply to not touch the registry (other than using a tool like
System Restore)?

Help, my System Restore has no Create a Restore Point option..(NDE).
Help, my WinME System Restore has no 'Create a Restore Point'
option...
I know this is incredibly late to notice but it is true. I see no
option to (manually) create a Restore Point. I do get "automatic"
creation of restore points usually once a day, occasionally twice,
occasionally none. I thought that was a bit odd but it has "worked"
for me so far. In thelast 3 months I have used Restore points 3 or 4
times to recover from odd ball system (Near Death Experience) behavior
I finally got to checking Andy Rathbone's Microsoft Windows Me For
DUMMIES, both volumes, and it is pretty clear that I should.
In the first 5 or more years I've been using this computer I rarely if
at all (deliberately) used it. Now I find it indispensable and I would
like more control over the making and deleting of my Restore Points.
Anybody heard of this problem? Is this fixable with just editing the
registry? What is it's module name / cab file ? ??
Thank you very very much. Tag: Spywareblaster Update 1/28/07 Tag: 292952
Problem reinstalling winME
Is there something about installing winME that causes it to freeze
exactly 10% in to the Copy Files portion of the install. Or is it my
harddrive, and what should I do about it?
I banged my IBM Thjnkpad 600E laptop really hard, and winME won't
start anymore, but DOS will, from a rescue disk**. Whether I should
have or not, I ran DOS scandisk for many hours, and until today, kept
finding 1 or 2 or 8 clusters that scandisk disabled, although for the
last few passes, they were just clusters that it thought ran slow and
it expected to fail soon.
During all of this, I used a recovery disk to start DOS, and on about
5 occasions then used a legitimate ME update CD to try to install ME.
Everything went fine during the install until the middle of the Copy
Files portion, and then every time, always at the 10% mark, TEN
percent, the install freezes. The CD light goes off but the HD light
stays on, without blinking at all, and I can even hear the sound of
the hard drive, buzz for 2 seconds, silence for two seconds (three
times) then silent for 5 seconds and start again. The buzz is more
like a boozz. :) The only way to stop this is to turn off the
computer.
Other than running scandisk, which each time marks a few clusters not
to be used, except this last time when it found none to complain
about, i haven't used the laptop for anything, so maybe there is a bad
spot on the HD that scandisk can't find??? and maybe the install gets
to the same bad spot always somewhere in the 10% portion of copy
files. Does that seem likely?
Should I delete some files I can do without, so that there will be
more good space, and then I might see it not freeze until 15 or 20%?
but how can I make sure the OS stores files on this newly available
space, instead of where it is storing them now? What can I do?
**Wouldn't it be better in this situation if winME provided a method
to start DOS without a rescue disk, straight from the hard drive?
That's how win3.1, 95 and 98 worked.

for some reason, remove NOPSAM :-) Tag: Spywareblaster Update 1/28/07 Tag: 292942

M'I-5 Persecutio n my r esponse to the harassmen t
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-= my. response to the harassment -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
My first reaction in 1990/91 was. to assume that if I broke contact then
they would not be able to follow and. would lose interest. So I did the
things that have been suggested by other people;. I sold my television,
stopped listening to the radio and tried to. withdraw away from the sources
of abuse as much as possible. I reasoned that they must. have more important
things to deal with and that normal people would simply leave me alone. if
it were made difficult. for them to continue their harassment.
I reckoned without the sheer vindictiveness of the abusers. They did. not
let up but. instead "got to" people around me, mainly people at work, to do
their dirty work for them. I went to see my GP, who refused to. believe what
he was being told,. and refused to direct me on to anyone who could be of
practical assistance. It was not until three years had passed that the. GP
admitted the matter was outside his competence and. suggested going to the
police.
In. the summer of 1994 we called in counter-surveillance experts from a
private detective agency to sweep our house and telephone. for bugging
devices. They conducted a thorough search and. found nothing; but as noted
above, since the existence of. surveillance was being forced in my face by
the harassers, you would expect them to have taken the. possibility of a
counter-surveillance sweep into. account when planning the type of devices
to be. employed.
In Easter 1995. I made a complaint to my local Police station in London, but
the police have not expressed any. intention to do anything about the
continuing harassment ("we're. not saying it's happening and we're not
saying it isn't happening" were the words used).. I think the officer I
spoke to at Easter wasn't aware of it happening,. although other members of
the police. force obviously do know.
From. April 1995 until the present time the matter has been discussed in a
lot of. detail on the Usenet (Internet) "uk.misc" newsgroup. That discussion
has given birth to the article which you are now reading.. My hopes in
posting to Usenet were that wider. publicizing would discourage the security
services from. continuing their harassment, and "draw people out" into
concurring with the truth of what was being said. Neither of those. have
followed, but the discussion has served a purpose in. allowing this
structured report. to be created.

M,I.5,Pers ecution , p urpose in publici zing it; cens orship in u k.* news groups
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
-= purpose in publicizing it; censorship in uk.*. newsgroups -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The postings to uk.misc newsgroup generated a very defensive reaction. from
Usenet. readers in the UK. So much so, that they tried strenuously to
suppress what was being said, both. by breaking the rules of netiquette in
their responses on. the forum, and directly by action to revoke the account
from which the. postings were issued.
Yet the postings were within. the normal boundaries of behaviour for
uk.misc, and other less partisan spectators did not. see justice in the
censorship which was. effected, as the following excerpt shows;
:Karen. Lofstrom (lofstrom@lava.net) wrote
:>It does seem that the. frequency and the size of his posts are
:>approaching net abuse. However,. IMHO, they aren't quite there yet. If
:>his postmaster were to act. in this instance, it would raise troubling
:>censorship. issues.
The inescapable conclusion of the. censorship effected on the uk.*
newsgroups is that the British are intent on. their wrongdoing remaining
concealed, and therefore seek to. subvert and suppress freedom of speech,
not only in their own country where the media shows xenophobic bias. and
bile against all perceived enemies within and. without, but also in other
countries. which have their own statutes to guarantee the basic human right
of. free speech.
It is absolutely necessary to bring their hate. campaign out into the open
where it can be placed under scrutiny and the harassers seen for. what they
are. That is the only way of making. it impossible for the security services
to carry it out. There is a. wider dimension, though. Xenophobia as
demonstrated by. British people and institutions over the last few years
belongs to the same stable as racial hatred. In one case,. two youths on a
Tube train. made that racism explicit by referring to their victim as a
"soft toy, not up to British Standards".. Doubtless others victimize partly
on the. basis of race (isn?t it odd that they chose to torment someone who
is. not ethnically English?) while expressing their abuse in terms of
another genetic attribute,. namely mental illness. All xenophobia on a
genetic basis is wrong, but. while racial insults are illegal, abusing the
mentally. ill is neither against the law nor subject to similar condemnation
when it is. exposed.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-=. abuse in set-up situations and in public -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Strangers in. the street have recognized me on sight many times, and shown
awareness of the current thread of. abuse. To give you one example, in 1992
I was seriously ill, and a manager at work somewhat humorously said. that
"it wasn't fair". that people were bullying me. A few days later, I attended
for the first time a clinic in London as an outpatient,. and on my way out
was accosted by someone. who asked if "they had paid my fare", with emphasis
on the word "fare".. He repeated the word several times in this different
context; that they should. have paid my "fare", each time emphasizing the
word.
For two. and a half years from the time their harassment started until
November 1992 I refused to see a. psychiatrist, because I reasoned that I
was not ill of my own action or. fault, but through the stress caused by
harassment,. and that a lessening of the illness would have to be consequent
to a removal of its immediate. cause, in other words a cessation of
harassment. I also reasoned that since. they were taunting me with jokes
about mental illness, if. I were to seek treatment then the abusers would
think that. they had "won" and been proved "right". Remember, the constant
theme of any. persecution is, "we must destroy you because you're X",
whether X is a racial. or other attribute. In this case the X was "we
persecute you because you have brain disease". The similarity. of this logic
to Nazi attitudes to the. mentally ill is striking.
The same manager who'd said "it wasn't fair". asked me in winter 1992 why I
didn't seek help. from a psychiatrist; was it, he asked, because "they would
think they had won" if I sought treatment?. That was something I'd never
said at work.... again, taken separately it proves nothing, but many such
things over a period of months proves. conclusively that people in the
company knew what was going on, and. in quite a lot of detail.
Usually. harassment in public lacks the level of finesse of "paying your
fare". Most people's imagination does. not go beyond moronic parroting of
the current term of denigration.. That is not surprising given the average
level of the abusers; if they do. not have the intelligence to distinguish
wrong from right then neither will they have the. capacity for anything
other than mindless repetition of a monosyllabic. term calculated to fit
into their. minds.
The first incidents of verbal. assault in public were in again in the summer
of 1990, although they increased in frequency and venom with time. In. July
1990. the first public incident occurred on a tube train on the Northern
line. Two men and their girlfriends recognised me; the women. sprang to my
defence, saying "He. looks perfectly normal, he doesn't look ill". Their
boyfriends of course knew better, and followed the. party line; one of them
made reference to an "operation", apparently to work. at the tube station
but implicitly to a visit that I had made to hospital a couple of. weeks
previously.
In August 1990 going home from. college, soon after getting on a tube train
at Gloucester Road I. was followed by a group of four youths, who started a
chant. of abuse. That they were targeting me was confirmed by other people
in the carriage, one of. whom asked the other "who are they going on at, is
it the bloke who just got on?" to which the second. replied "yes, I think
so". I. was tempted to reply, but as in every other instance the abusers are
enabled in their cowardice by physically outnumbering the abused;. any
confrontation would result in my being beaten up, followed. by a complaint
to the police that "he. attacked us", and of course he's ill, so he must
have been imagining that we. were getting at him. Shitty, aren't they?
But the shittiness. of the four youths on the tube train is as nothing
compared to the episode on the. National Express coach to Dover in the
summer of 1992. While going on holiday to the. Continent I was verbally set
upon by. a couple travelling sitting a few rows behind. The boy did the
talking, his. female companion contributing only a continuous empty giggling
noise. He. spoke loudly to ensure other people on the coach heard, always
about "they" and "this bloke" but never naming either the abusers. or the
person he was talking about. He said "they". had "found somebody from his
school, and he was always really stressed at school".. They must have dug
deep to find enemies there;. perhaps someone who dropped out of school,
someone who didn't do too well later, who was jealous and. keen to get their
own back? The boy also said "he was in a bed and breakfast. for only one
night and they. got him". By a not unexpected coincidence I had been in a
B&B in Oxford a week previously,. which had been booked from work; other
things lead me to the conclusion that. the company's offices were bugged for
most of the 2 1/2 years that I was there, so "they" would have known a. room
in the B&B had been booked. (But I'll. bet "they" didn't tell the company's
managers their offices were bugged, did. they?).
After. a few minutes of this I went back to where they were sitting and
asked where they were. travelling. The boy named a village in France, and
the girl's giggling suddenly ceased;. presumably it permeated to her brain
cell what. the purpose of the boy's abuse was.
This and other set-up situations are obviously. calculated to provoke a
direct confrontation which would. bring in the police, with the abusers
claiming that they were the ones attacked. Again in 1992, outside. the
house where I was living in Oxford I was physically attacked. by someone -
not punched, just grabbed by the coat, with some verbals thrown in. for good
measure. That was something the people at work shouldn't have. known
about.... but soon after a couple of people were talking right in front of
me about, "I heard he was. attacked". The UK police have a responsibility
for preventing assault. occurring, but they do not seem to take any interest
in meeting. that responsibility. I suppose their attitude is that harassment
does not. come within their remit unless it involves physical assault, and
they will. only become involved once that happens. That is of course quite
the. wrong attitude for them to take, but as I now understand, the police
investigate only the crime they wish to investigate;. if they do not take
your complaints seriously then there is nothing you can. do to make them
take. action.

What makes this article so extraordinary is that three or. four days
immediately. preceding its publication, I had a meeting with a friend,
during the course of which we discussed. the media persecution, and in

by Levin in Saturday?s paper, that he was. describing in some detail his

my friend that it was all true;. and I am able to concur with Mr Levin,
because, of. course, it is.
At the beginning of the piece Levin reveals a. fear of being attacked by the
"irrational" subject of his story, saying "I have. no reason to believe that
he is violent, but he should certainly. be approached with caution". This
goes back to the xenophobic propaganda of "defence". against a "threat"
which was seen at the very beginning. of the harassment. The impression of a
"madman running loose". who needs to be controlled through an agency which
assigns to itself the mantle of the "police" is also one. which had been
expressed. elsewhere.
In the final paragraph of this extract,. his reference to Everyman?s Library
as having "died a. lingering and shameful death a decade or so ago" shows
clearly. what sort of conclusion they wish to their campaign. They want a
permanent solution, and as. they are prevented from achieving that solution
directly, they waste significant resources on methods which have. been
repeatedly shown to be. ineffective for such a purpose.

-= who knows about it?. =-

Many people know, both in the establishment and media, and. among the
general public. Despite an absence of its target from the UK for. more than
two years, the. echoes of paranoia can still be heard loud and clear from
across. the water. When it started in 1990, the only people who knew were
those in BBC television who were spying. on my home, and a few radio
broadcasters. There were a. few cases of public harassment, but very little
compared to the situation that. developed a couple of years later.
The list today includes BBC. TV staff (newsreaders such as Martyn Lewis,
Michael Buerk, Nicholas Witchell), people. from radio stations such as
Chris Tarrant of Capital and Radio 1 DJs, people in the print. media, but
also many people in the general public.. All united in a conspiracy which
breaks the laws which the UK does have regarding. harassment, and all
completely uncaring for any semblance of. decency or elementary respect
for individual. rights.
The British police (obviously) do know the nature of the harassment. and in
all probability the identity of those behind it. Some time ago I made. a
complaint to my local police station in London, without. positive result.
The UK police are failing in their duty to see the law. enforced in not
checking. the abuse.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The harassment didn't start by itself, so someone. must have been there at
the outset to give it a firm push and set the "animals" after me. It. looks
as if I was set up in June 1990, and the timing. indicates someone from
university. was responsible.
>One thing which has been missing from this discussion. is this simple
>prognosis: that maybe he is. right and that, despite his admitted
>mental condition, there really is a campaign against him organised. by
>now-influential ex-students of. his university.
In May or June 1990, Alan Freeman on Radio 1 read out a letter from. someone
who. had known me for a few years, who wrote of the one who "wore out his
welcome with random precision" (from the Pink Floyd song). Freeman went. on
to say to the writer "that's a hell of. a letter you wrote there". The
indication is strongly that people I had parted. from soon before nursed a
grudge against me and were trying to. cause trouble for me.
The suggestion is that Freeman might have shown the letter. to other people,
and things could have snowballed from there. Right from the start. the real
source (security services presumed). didn't announce themselves as the
origin,. but let the "talkers", the radio DJs, believe that they were the
originators. Think. about it; if you announce, "we're MI5 and we have a
campaign against this bloke" then people might not go along. with it; but if
you say, "everyone else. is getting at this bloke because he 'deserves' it"
then people will join in with. fewer qualms.
>Why would "they" wish to. assassinate your character?
It's the classic case of hitting a. cripple to prove you're stronger. Why
would the security. services expend hundreds of thousands of pounds and more
than six years. of manpower to try to kill a British citizen? Because they
are motivated by people who knew me at university. and feel personal
animosity; because they. knew me to be emotionally weak, and it is in the
nature of bullies to. prey on those known to be weak; and because they can
rely on the complicity of the establishment,. which the security services
manipulate and derive funding from. This. is England's biggest humiliation
today,. and the British security services are intent on preventing their
humiliation becoming reality by. continuing their campaign of attempted
murder. to suppress the truth from becoming public.

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: >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. The. partial answer is, there have been periods when the
intensity has been greater, and times when little has. happened. In fact,
for much of 1993 and the first half of 1994, very. little happened. Although
I don't think that was for reasons of. money - if they can tap into the
taxpayer they're not going to be short of. resources, are they?
The more complete answer is in the enormity of. what they're doing. Relative
to the cost to British pride of seeing their country. humiliated for the
persecution of their own citizens, isn't is worth the cost of four or. five
people to try to bring. things to a close in the manner they would wish? To
the government a million or. two is quite honestly nothing - if they can
convince themselves of the necessity of. what they're doing, resources will
not be the. limiting factor.

-=. Capital Radio - Chris Tarrant -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
Capital Radio DJs have been "in on it". from the start. One of the first
things I heard in the summer of 1990 was from a Capital DJ who said,. "If
he listens to Capital then he can't be all bad" (supportive, you see.. We're
not bastards). Much of what came over the radio in 1990 is now so. far away
the precise details. have been obliterated by time. No diary was kept of the
details,. and although archives if they exist may give pointers, the
ambiguity of what broadcasters said would leave that open. to
re-interpretation.
In spring 1994, Chris Tarrant on his. Capital morning show made an aside to
someone else in the studio, about a person. he didn't identify. He said,
"You. know this bloke? He says we're trying to kill him. We should be done
for attempted. manslaughter".
That mirrored something I had said. a day or two before. What Tarrant said
was understood by the staff member in the studio he. was saying it to; they
said, "Oh no, don't say that" to Tarrant.. If any archives exist of the
morning show (probably unlikely) then it. could be found there; what he said
was so out of context that he. would be very hard put to find an explanation.
A couple of days later, someone at the. site where I was working repeated the
remark although in a different way; they said there. had been people in a
computer room when automatic fire extinguishers went off. and those people
were. "thinking of suing for attempted manslaughter".
Finally, this isn't confined. to the established radio stations. In 1990
after I had listened to a pirate radio. station in South London for about
half an hour, there was an audible phone call in. the background, followed
by total silence. for a few moments, then shrieks of laughter. "So what are
we supposed to say now? Deadly torture? He's going to talk to us now,. isn't
he?", which meant that they could hear what I would say in my. room.

That's exactly what. we did. We went to a competent, professional detective
agency in London, paid them over 400 quid to debug our. house. They used
scanner devices which go to over 1 GHz and would pick. up any nearby
transmitter in that range,. they also checked the phones and found
nothing... but if the tap. was at the exchange, then they wouldn't find
anything, would. they?
CS: >Doesn't this suggest. to you that there are, in fact, no bugs to be found?
You can. assume that they've done this sort of thing to other people in more
"serious". cases, where they would know the targets would suspect the
presence of electronic surveillance. So. they will have developed techniques
and devices which. are not readily detectable either by visual inspection or
by electronic means. What those techniques. might be, I couldn't guess.
In this case,. the existence of bugging devices was clear from the
beginning, and they "rubbed it in" with what was said. by the boy on the
coach. It was almost as if they wanted counter-surveillance people to. be
called in, who they. knew would fail to detect the bugging devices, causing
loss of credibility. to the other things I would have to say relating to the
harassment.
I did. all the things someone in my situation would do to try to find the
bugs. In addition to calling in. professional help using electronic
counter-surveillance, I made a close visual inspection of. electrical
equipment, plus any. points where audio or video surveillance devices might
have. been concealed. Of course, I found nothing. Normal surveillance
"mini-cameras" are. quite noticeable and require visible supporting
circuitry. It seems to me the best place to put a. small video surveillance
device would be additional to a piece of electronic equipment such. as a TV
or video. It would be necessary. to physically break in to a property to fit
such. a device.

The first incident in June 1990 was when a BBC. newsreader made what seemed
to be a reaction. to something which had happened in my home, and out of
context of what they. were reading. My first reaction was disbelief; nothing
of the sort had ever happened before,. the idea that such a thing could
occur had not crossed my mind, yet. there was no doubt of what had just
taken place. My disbelief eroded as this. recurred time after time. Besides
the. news, offenders included shows such as Crimewatch (!), Newsnight, and
"entertainment" shows. There seems to be very little. moral understanding
among the people. who make these programmes; they just assume they will
never. be caught, so they carry on without a thought for the illegality or
amorality of what they do. The only time I ever heard a word. raised in
doubt was by Paxman being interviewed by someone. else (I think by Clive
Anderson) back in 1990; referring to the "watching". he said it troubled
him, and. when asked by the host what you could do about it, replied "Well,
you could just switch it. off" (meaning the surveillance monitor in the
studio). He clearly didn't let his doubts stand in the way of. continued
surreptitious. spying from his own or other people's shows, though.
Now you're convinced this. is a troll, aren't you? This story has been the
subject of much debate on the. uk.* Usenet newsgroups for over a year, and
some readers believe. it to be an invention (it has even been suggested that
a group of psychology. students are responsible!), others think it
symptomatic of. a derangement of the author, and a few give it credence.
Quite a few people do know. part or all of the story already, so this text
will fill in the gaps in their knowledge. For the rest,. what may persuade
you. of the third possibility is that some of the incidents detailed are
checkable against any archives. of radio and TV programmes that exist; that
the incidents involve. named people (even if those hiding in the shadows
have not made their. identity or affiliations evident), and those people
may be. persuaded to come out with the truth; and that the campaign of
harassment is continuing today both in the. UK and on the American
continent, in a none-too-secret fashion;. by its nature the significant risk
of exposure increases with. time.
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 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".
I made a. number of efforts to find the bugs, without success; last year we
employed professional counter-surveillance people to scan for bugs. (see
later) again. without result. In autumn 1990 I disposed of my TV and watched
virtually no television for the next three. years. But harassment from TV
stations has gone. on for over six years and continues to this day. This is
something that many. people obviously know is happening; yet the TV staff
have the morality of paedophiles, that because. they're getting away with it
they feel. no wrong.
Other people who were involved. in the abuse in 1990 were DJs on BBC radio
stations, notably disc jockeys from Radio 1 and other stations (see. the
following section). Again,. since they don't have sense in the first place
they can't be expect to have the moral sense not to be part of. criminal
harassment.
