Problem Installing USB Mice on MY HP L2000 Laptop
I have a HP L2005CO running XP SP2. I am unable to Install Any kind of
an External Mouse. Triewd my MS Wheel Mouse & Optical USB & PS/2
Compatible that was running on my Dual Boot Dell [WinME & XP SP1]. Then
I tried A Logitech LX7 which wouldn't work so it Got retruned. We Them
Purchased a HP EW207AA Wireless but it Fails them same way as the Others
did. I get the message that says and I quote
Cannot Install this Hardware
There was a problem installing this Hardware
HID-Compliant Mouse
an Error occurred during the installation of the device
The data is Invalid
Close Quote
When I go to control panel and check systems/hardware/device
manager/mice and other pointing devices I see the Synaptics and an
Unknown Device. If I try to Update Driver it does the same thing.
What I need to find out is exactly what files/Drivers are being installed
I check mouse.inf from Windows/Inf. But can't figure it out
Been around the HORN several times with HP Techs but they don't seem to
be able to grasp the Problem
I'm hoping someone out there can provide some assistance.
I am thinking of Trying a "REPAIR" thinking that might replace the bad files
I haven't tried anything from the RUN Box I am nor sure if there is
Diagnostic that can be run that would point me in the right direction

Opening sites and programs to Full Window
Sometimes Windows insists on opening sites and applications only to the
tray. Usually this happens when TWEAKUI defaults to 'preventing applications
from stealing focus.' This gets really annoying. Is there a way to keep XP
set up to maintain its settings so I don't have to keep going back to
TweakUI/General/Focus and reset it to uncheck the option?

Properties menu question
I have a teacher that has has a strange re-arrangement of her right click
menu properties items. The computer has had quite a few power outage
shutdowns and motherboard problems resulting in the same but somehow when she
right clicks on a drive letter in My Computer or any type of file the
"Search" option is at the top of the menu rather than "Open" which means when
you double click on the drive, file or what have you it Searches the drive
rather than opens it. How do you change this? I don't have a clue as to
where to go to re-order the menu.

Shortcut Key or Icon to Enter Data

Lotus Notes, IE, etc., and was wondering if there is a way to automate this.

Notepad issue
since new windows updates I noticed my notepad.exe had been deleted from it's old location

How would I make a new start-menu?
Background:
I'm a fairly new software-engineer. Have mostly worked in game-engine
coding, and some linux programming both in C++. Less so on the Front-end and
Windows sides. But have used Visual Basic and TrollTech's QT GUI libs before.
Tools:
Have most/all of the 'free' visual-studio installed on my Windows XP-Pro box.
Question:
I have some ideas for extending the basic desktop-functionality with simple
new features. I also want to try streamlining or even re-writing the
'Start-Menu'.
My ideas are purely functional and 99% graphics independent. Not eye-candy!
How would I go about proto-typing these for fun/testing/personal-use? Guess
my question is which tool do I need, and what relevant resources can I check
for more information? Or what keywords would I google? I need a starting
point.
Come to think of it, if MS-Windows is closed sourced, can one do something
like this?

Not to Allow Shutdown.
G'day to all.
I would like to know if I can prevent XP from shutting (and/or restarting)
UNTIL I decide to do so?
In other words, I don't want XP updates (or anything) to shutdown and
restart my system. I've looked at all the Policies and can't see anything
obvious.

I have bought a second hand laptop, but the computers "identity" is in the

M I`5,Persecut ion , my r esponse to t he h arassment
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-= 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 Persecuti on ' purpo se in publ icizing 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.

M,I-5 Persecutio n abuse in se t-up sit uations and in pub lic
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-= 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.

At the time this article was written I had. believed for some time that
columnists in the Times and other journalists had. been making references to
my. situation. Nothing unusual about this you may think, plenty of people
have. the same sort of ideas and obviously the papers aren't writing about
them, so why should my. beliefs not be as false as those of others?
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
particular that by Times columnists. It. seemed to me, reading the article
by Levin in Saturday?s paper, that he. was describing in some detail his
"artist?s impression" of. that meeting. Most telling are the final
sentences, when he writes, "The madman bursts into tears,. and swears it is
all true. And it is.". Although I did not "burst into tears" (he seems to be
using a. bit of poetic licence and exaggerating) I did try hard to convince
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.

At the time this article was. written I had believed for some time that
columnists in the Times and other journalists had been. making references to
my situation. Nothing unusual about this you may think,. plenty of people
have the same sort of ideas and obviously the. papers aren't writing about
them, so why should my beliefs not. be as false as those of others?
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
particular that by Times columnists. It seemed. to me, reading the article
by Levin in Saturday?s paper, that he. was describing in some detail his
"artist?s impression" of. that meeting. Most telling are the final
sentences,. when he writes, "The madman bursts into tears, and swears it is
all true. And it is." Although I did. not "burst into tears" (he seems to be
using a bit of poetic. licence and exaggerating) I did try hard to convince
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.

M,I-5 Pe rsecution , who know s abo ut it ?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-= 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.

M`I 5`Persecut ion . ho w a nd wh y di d it star t?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-= how and why did it start?. -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
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.

-= MI5: cost of. the operation -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Here's what a couple of other people. on 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.
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. 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.

M`I 5-Persecu tion . C apital R adio - Ch ris Tarr ant
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
-= 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.

M`I'5`Persecu tion ` bugging a nd counter-surveillan ce

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
PO: >Did you ever look for the bugs in your house ? If not, why not ? I. mean if
PO: >I thought that was happening to. me, I'd search the place from top to bottom,
PO: >I mean I live there I would know if anything was out of place. If. I was
PO: >really suspicious, I would call in one. of those bug detection teams which
PO: >have those machines that pick. up the transmitted radio waves. This
PO:. >reminds me of BUGS, that new programme on BBC1 on
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.

M'I`5 Persecutio n the BB C, telev ision a nd radio
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
-= the BBC, television. and radio -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=
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.

M'I`5'Per secution , BB C Newscaster s Lie & Deny T heyre Watchi ng Me
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.
If you wish to. reply to this article......
then please include your. name and fax number! I provide the means for
recipients to send me their thoughts on the topics. discussed, but ask that
you provide me with your fax number or email address if. you require a
response. Also would you please send not more than. one or two pages, if by
fax.. Thank-you!
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
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".
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.

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.

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
pecking. order.
If I walked into my local nick and. complained that MI5 were snooping on me, they would
show me the. door without even looking at my evidence, because that bored desk seargant
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:
: I was at speakers' corner on Sunday.. There was one chap who was bellowing
: about something or other, I don't know what,. but one thing he said to

Can't disagree with that. sentiment.
Wasn't it documented that MI5 sometimes "bought" journalists. and broadcasters?
I remember reading a report by some jouralist. who had been offered an extra
tax-free. income by MI5 to become their covert mouthpiece, and had refused.

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.

Signed. ER Wilson, Tribunal Secretary
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. Update: Friday 30 April, 1999

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

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.

BBC newscaster Nicholas Witchell. cant stop himself laughing
During 1990-91 there were very many instances of. "interactive
television" where newscasters and other. TV presenters saw on a screen
before them what was happening in my. home, and reacted, frequently by
laughing at me. During this period I unfortunately did not record. these
programmes. For the last. year or two, I have been recording everything I
watch,. and there has been a drastic decrease in such incidents.
However, on. occasion, television presenters do still engage in
"interactive watching" and. react to what they see. This has been evident
with Jon. Snow of Channel Four News recently - a particularly interesting
case, since it has been. established that he cannot be corrupted by money
(it is. well-documented that MI5 offered him a tax-free salary and he
turned them down).. I wonder what device MI5 are using to encourage him to
do the "interactive. watching"?
On Saturday 10 April 1999. at 7pm, Nicholas Witchell on BBC2 News reacted
when he saw that I was watching the programme, and I. have his reactions
stored safely on videotape. I have watched this tape several times. and I
am entirely confident that my evaluation. of his reactions is correct. For
several minutes his upper lip quivered in mirth as. he attempted to keep a
straight face. Then finally his self-control evaporated. through the excuse
of a weak joke and. his face collapsed into a grin.
The. strange thing is that I dont know why he was laughing at me, what I
had done recently to "deserve". to be laughed at. The MI5 persecutors
usually manage to invent some justification. as to why people should laugh
at and/or abuse me ("hes. an X", "it was so funny" etc), so Mr Witchell
could have been laughing. for any number of reasons. Perhaps he found the
views. I have been expressing in these articles amusing? I suppose if youre
paid enough money and ordered to laugh then even the. most innocuous thing
becomes. funny.
Jon Snow of Channel Four News. cant stop himself smirking, either.
On. 12 February 1999 I was watching Channel Four News presented by Jon
Snow. As usual, I was recording the programme, so that if. anything out of
the ordinary happened, Id be able to. go back and watch it again.
Now, Jon Snow, by. his own claim, is uncorruptible. He says he turned down
an offer of a substantial tax-free salary from MI5 - they wanted to. make
him their mouthpiece, and he told. them where to get off.
So you will be most surprised to learn that Jon. Snow "interactively
watched" me that evening, and on. many other evenings. Approximately
fifteen minutes into the programme,. he announced that the US President
would be making a live appearance at about 7.30pm;. I looked at the clock
on the mantelpiece; and Snow saw me looking at the clock,. and visibly
tried to suppress a. smirk.
Uncorruptible, are you,. Mister Snow? If not money, then why are you
watching me, Mister Snow?. Are they forcing you to watch me? Cant you turn
the monitor off,. Mister Snow?

Comparing the. MI5 Persecution with German "Final Solution"
It might seem offensive to compare. the mass murder of millions of
civilians in wartime with the peacetime persecution of merely. one
person.. Yet the comparison has been coursing through my mind for several
years now, because the brutality of German intent to. "sub-humans" is very
much comparable to. the brutality of British intent to someone they
vituperate and. term "not up to British standards". The methods may differ,
but the persecutors mindset is. the same.
The Germans first targeted. the mentally disabled, too
During WW2 millions of ethnic Russians, Poles,. Jews, mentally ill, gypsies
and other. minorities were rounded up and murdered in purpose-built camps
by the German regime, in the name of "racial. superiority". Fifty years on,
the British. Secret Police, MI5, instituted a campaign of mass
hysteria; but in. their cowardice, limited their activities to one single
victim.
It is instructive to. note that the early German "cleansing" effort was
directed primarily not at Jews, but at the mentally ill. The Nazis set. up
the T4 project in the thirties to "cleanse" away. 70,000 mentally disabled
people, including schizophrenics and epileptics.. After WW2 the Jews with
their media influence used the reaction from the holocaust. to roll back
anti-semitism in the Western countries; however,. the mentally ill are
today still. a persecuted group in the modern Western world as they were
under the Nazis. (the current Jewish home secretary in the UK intends to
bring in laws for incarceration without. any criminal charge for some
mentally ill people - he. protects his own minority, but does nothing for
the other minorities in todays society),. and this continuing bias forms a
central cause for. the current acts of persecution in the UK.
Widespread knowledge. of what is happening to the "un-British" minority
In. both the German persecution of the thirties and early forties, and the
current British persecution, many,. many people are well aware of whats
happening. There is widespread complicity. through inaction of
populace; and in a substantial proportion. of the mainstread population,
the persecution had/has widespread enthusiastic support; yet in. both the
German case in the 1940s and the British today, the. existence of
persecution is a mass secret. which must be never admitted out loud. In the
recent Lawrence case this "secret bigotry" has been. termed
"institutionalised racism", and that. is a very good word for what the
British are. doing today The persecutory attitudes and omerta regarding
them are so. deeply ingrained in the national psyche that they define the
national. mood
During WW2. many Germans knew minorities were disappearing, and through
inaction. quietly condoned their government's mass murder of
"un-German" minorities and inferior "foreigners"; and in. the 1990s,
similarly, many English people know what. the MI5 British Secret Police
have. been doing, and not only condone it, but actively take part, because
of xenophobia against the "un-British" unit minority that is. the target of
"British". actions. This attitude by the British persecutors has been made
explicit through the words "he's. not up to British standards"; the British
seem to have found their very own. "untermenschen" to victimise.
Why these. obsessive "holy wars" happen
This type of aggression occurs. when the majority is threatened or
humiliated in some. way, economically, militarily or culturally. In pre-WW2
Germany the threat was primarily. economic and military, following
Germany's humiliating defeat in the first world. war and the reparations it
was forced to pay. In modern Britain,. one might guess that the majority
English who are behind the persecution feel pressured. by the swiftly
diminishing status of. Britain in the world, and the rapidly increasing
coloured colonisation of their country, which in time will see the. ethnic
English a minority in their own land, and their more antisocial. elements,
unable to reply to the obvious threat, instead project their. aggression
onto. another, weaker, unit minority
In both cases there is a whiff of. "holy war" or irrational obsession with
the persecution. Certainly the German. behaviour fifty years ago bordered
on the not-quite-sane, and the current British behaviour towards. their
chosen victim is strongly tinged with a leave-taking of reason. And. the
choices open to the victims are the same, since MI5 will never. allow me to
escape. them, "if he tries to run away we'll find him", just like the
commandant of Auschwitz telling the new arrivals, "the. only escape is
through. the chimney".
The Victim Will Destroy Us if We Dont Destroy Him. First
The. persecutors propaganda is the same. Fifty years ago the Germans said,
"if we don't do it. to the Jews then the Jews will do it to us"; and MI5's
propaganda
