M-I,5-Persecutio n - Fo ur Yea rs of M I5 Pers ecution Pos ts on Int ernet Newsgroups

List: ruby-talk #284827
Four. Years of "MI5 Persecution" Posts on Internet Newsgroups

For approximately the first three. years of the MI5 persecution, from June
1990 until late 1992, I kept as quiet as. possible, in the hope that by not
reacting, MI5s interest in me would decrease and. they would simply go away
of. their own accord. This is the sort of behaviour some people employ
against bullies; if the bullies arent getting. a reaction, then they might
simply go away and victimize. someone else.

Unfortunately, this tactic didnt work. The quieter I became, the. more
shrill and hysterical the noise from the Security Service. operatives. For
about. two years I didnt watch TV news at all. Yet this only heightened
their obsessed fixation; they continued to follow me. wherever I went, they
continued to. induce harassment at work by managers and fellow workers, and
they continued to encourage me. to commit suicide. They seemed to regard my
refusal to react as a crime which they would have to "put right" by. ever
more extreme forms. of abuse.

Finally, in 1995, I changed tactics radically. Since. late 1994 I had had
accounts. with internet providers in Ontario, Canada. I discovered the
cornucopia of. internet newsgroups, on every topic from consumer
electronics, to politics and legal topics, and I. discovered online
services such as Compuserve and. AOL. In May 1995, I made the first posting
to. the conspiracy newsgroup, on the subject of "BBCs Hidden Shame".

BBC's Hidden. Shame

The internet newsgroup discussion, which. has now reached its fourth
anniversary, started with an article in. alt.conspiracy, which I reproduce
here.

Date: Thu May.  4 18:27:24 1995
Newsgroups:. alt.conspiracy
Subject:. BBC's Hidden Shame

Remember the two-way televisions in George Orwell's 1984? The ones which watched. you
back? Which you. could never get rid of, only the sound could be turned down?

Well the country which brought Orwell into the. world has made his nightmare follow into
the world after him. Since 1990 the British have. been waging war against one of their
own citizens using surveillance to invade privacy and a campaign of abuse. in the
transmitted. media in their efforts to humiliate their "victim".

And the most remarkable thing. about it is that what they do is not even illegal - the
UK. has no laws to protect the privacy of its citizens, nor does it proscribe harassment
or abuse except in the case of racial. abuse.

A lot of people in England know this to be going on, yet so far. they have maintained
perfect "omerta"; not. a sound, not a squeak has escaped into the English press, and for
all the covert harassment absolutely nothing has come out into the. public domain.

Have the British gone mad? I think we. should be told

At this point, I did not name MI5 as my persecutors. I was. still unsure
that they. were the ones responsible for the "psychological terrorism". In
followup posts however I did name them; and. the persecutors have never
denied the claim; so I think my guess is valid. (The Security. Service
Tribunal. in 1997 have said "no determination in your favour was made", but
it is. a well established fact that MI5 lies routinely to the Tribunal
which has never found in favour. of a plaintiff, so no conclusions can be
drawn from. this.)

This. first post was made to alt.conspiracy, but further posts were made to
the UK-local. newsgroups, in particular uk.misc but also uk.legal and
uk.politics (which is now called uk.politics.misc). Some time ago. I tried
to take the battle to the. Compuserve forums, UKPOLITICS (which is now
called UKCURRENT - current affairs), but my articles were censored. by the
forum operators. Such censorship is impossible on the. internet newsgroups.

Police Refuse. to Act

I have complained several times to the Metropolitan Police,. who have each
time refused to. help.

This in itself dos not suggest. that the police have it in for you. The old bill
operates on extremely tight spending limits forced. on them by that pillock Michael
Howard, and without evidence, they often have higher priorities. than chasing something
that. cannot go to court.

I doubt that the police are actually being leant on, but they probably realise. that if
they looked into this, they would be leant on hard. The met always stays. away from
anything that looks like. it has Defence, Security or secret service interest already,
because. they realise that they are below these government agencies in the general
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.

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

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

Corrupt. Security Service agents steal millions from taxpayers

Money is of course a factor in the grand equation which is. the MI5
persecution. It. costs money for the Security Service to "buy" people in
the media etc. But that is only a small part. of their expenditure of
taxpayers resources. Most of the expenditure is directly. on the salaries
if the agents involved; and in this. post I put forward the theory that MI5
are trying to draw out their involvement for. as long as possible, very
cynically, to maximise their income and. line their own pockets.

At each stage. they have tried to pretend that I am something out of the ordinary.
Either I was very stupid. ("he's an idiot") or very clever ("he's like a genius").
Either I was a threat to Western civilization (Levin once referred to me. as the next
Hitler) or I was completely. defenceless ("a soft toy").

Now, it should be obvious to any person with common-sense that I am not. out of the
ordinary in any way. I. have an IQ which is average for the Web, I am racially white
European, and there. are plenty of other people with schizophrenia or epilepsy out there
who haven't been targeted for MI5 attention, so why. me?

I think the answer is that the MI5 agents who harass. me have cynically exploited the
situation by painting. me as extraordinary in order to assure themselves of well-paid
employment funded by the ordinary British taxpayer. To put it bluntly, they. are
stealing millions. of pounds from the taxpayer to feed their own pockets.

This assertion is supported. by the observation that it's the same agents who are doing
the harassment. Six months ago in a local hospital I was. harassed by someone whose face
I had seen (he had stared straight at me aggressively, at the. time I just thought it
was some nutter but it turns out he was one of "them") aboard a KLM. flight a couple of
years ago.. It's presumably been the same people most of the time. I've seen the way
contractors act when they don't want their positions. terminated. Would these agents
really want to lose their well-paid employment harassing me?. Presumably they are
promising their bosses a "breakthrough". (ie my demise) real-soon-now and have been for
the last seven years, while all the while these MI5. agents skim millions
off. the taxpayer.

I wouldn't mind a job like that. Perhaps. if I persecute myself a little bit, like
standing in front of a mirror and. shouting mindless obscenities, do you reckon I'd get
a slice of the caky Service Tribunal. This year Nick Brooks,. current
Tribunal Secretary, confirmed to me that he could not think of. a single
case where. the Tribunal had found in favour of a complainant. Here is my
usenet post from. two years ago.

Subject: MI5:. "It wasn't us"

"The Security Service. Tribunal have now investigated your complaint and have
asked me to inform you that. no determination in your favour has been made on
your. complaint."

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.
