MI5 are Afraid to Admit They're Behind the. Persecution
 MI5 have issued. a formal denial of any involvement in my life to the
 Security Service Tribunal, as you might. expect them to; but, more
 importantly, the. persecutors have never denied that theyre from the
 Security Service, despite several years of accusations from my corner. on
 usenet and in faxed articles.. I am not surprised that the Security Service
 Tribunal found "no determination in your favour".. I am however a little
 surprised that the persecutors have. refused to confirm my identification
 of them; by doing. so, they implicitly admit that my guess was right.
 
 "No determination in your favour" says. the Security Service Tribunal
 
 In 1997,. I made a complaint to the Security Service Tribunal, giving only
 the bare outlines of my case. I do. not think it would have made very much
 difference if. Id made a much more detailed complaint, since the Tribunal
 has no ability to perform. investigatory functions. It can only ask MI5 if
 they have an interest in a subject,. to which MI5 are of course free to be
 "economical with the truth". A couple of. months after my complaint the
 Tribunal replied. that;
 
 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.
 
 Needless to say this reply didnt surprise me in the. slightest. It is a
 well established fact that the secret service are a den of liars. and the
 Tribunal a toothless watchdog, so to. see them conforming to these
 stereotypes might be. disappointing but unsurprising.
 
 It is noteworthy that the Tribunal. never gives the plaintiff information
 on. whether the "no determination in your favour" is because MI5 claims to
 have no interest. in him, or whether they claim their interest is
 "justified". In the. 1997 report of the Security Service Commissioner he
 writes that "The ambiguity of the terms in which the notification of. the
 Tribunals decision is expressed is intentional", since. a less ambiguous
 answer. would indicate to the plaintiff whether he were indeed under MI5
 surveillance. But I note that the ambiguity also allows MI5 to. get away
 with lying to the question of their interest in me; they can. claim to the
 Tribunal that they have no interest, but at a future date, when it. becomes
 clear that they did indeed place me under. surveillance and harassment,
 they can. claim their interest was "justified" - and the Tribunal will
 presumably not admit that in their previous reply MI5 claimed to have. no
 interest.
 
 "He doesnt know. who we are"
 
 In early January 1996 I flew on a British Airways. jet from London to
 Montreal; also present on the plane, about three or four rows. behind me,
 were two young men, one of them fat and voluble, the other silent. It. was
 quite clear that these two had been planted on the aircraft to "wind. me
 up". The fat youth described the town in Poland where. I had spent
 Christmas,. and made some unpleasant personal slurs against me. Most
 interestingly, he said the words, "he. doesnt know who we are".
 
 Now I find this particular form of. words very interesting, because while
 it is not a clear admission, it is only a half-hearted. attempt at denial
 of my guess that "they" = "MI5". Had my guess been wrong, the. fat youth
 would surely have said so more clearly. What. he was trying to do was to
 half-deny. something he knew to be true, and he was limited to making
 statements which he knew. to be not false; so he made a lukewarm denial
 which on the face of it means nothing, but. in fact acts as a confirmation
 of my guess of who "they". are.
 
 On. one of the other occasions when I saw the persecutors in person, on the
 BA flight to Toronto in June. 1993, one of the group of four men said, "if
 he tries to run away well find. him". But the other three stayed totally
 quiet and avoided eye contact. They did so. to avoid being apprehended and
 identified. - since if they were identified, their employers would have
 been revealed, and it would become. known that it was the secret services
 who were behind. the persecution.
 
 Why are MI5 So. Afraid to admit their involvement?
 
 If you think about it, what has been going on in Britain for the last. nine
 years is simply beyond belief. The. British declare themselves to be
 "decent" by definition, so when they engage in indecent activities. such as
 the persecution. of a mentally ill person, their decency "because were
 British" is. still in the forefront of their minds, and a process of mental
 doublethink kicks in, where. their antisocial and indecent activities are
 blamed on the victim "because its his fault were. persecuting him", and
 their self-regard and self-image. of decency remains untarnished. As
 remarked in another article some time ago,. this process is basically the
 same as a large number of Germans employed fifty years. ago against Slavic
 "untermenschen" and the. Jewish "threat" - the Germans declared, "Germans
 are known  to be decent and the minorities are at fault for what we do. to
 them". - so they were able to retain the view of themselves as being
 "decent".
 
 Now suppose this entire episode had happened in some other country.. The
 British. have a poor view of the French, so lets say it had all happened in
 France. Suppose. there was a Frenchman, of non-French extraction, who was
 targeted by the. French internal security apparatus, for the dubious
 amusement of French television. newscasters, and tortured for 9 years with
 various sexual and other verbal abuse and taunts of. "suicide". Suppose
 this all came out into the open. Naturally, the French authorities. would
 try hard to. place the blame on their victim - and in their own country,
 through the same. state-controlled media which the authorities employ as
 instruments of torture,. their view might prevail - but what on earth would
 people overseas make of. their actions? Where would their "decency" be
 then?
 
 This is why MI5 are so afraid to admit theyre. behind the
 persecution. Because if they did admit responsibility, then they would. be
 admitting. that there was an action against me - and if the truth came out,
 then the walls would come tumbling down. And. if the persecutors were to
 admit they were from MI5, then you can be sure I would. report the
 fact; and. the persecutors support would fall away, among the mass media as
 well as among. the general public. When I started identifying MI5 as the
 persecutors in 1995. and 1996 there was a sharp reduction in media
 harassment,. since people read my internet newsgroup posts and knew I was
 telling. the truth. The persecutors cannot deny my claim that theyre MI5,
 because then I would report their denial and they would be seen as. liars -
 but they cannot admit it either, as that would. puncture their campaign
 against me. So they are. forced to maintain a ridiculous silence on the
 issue of their. identity, in the face of vociferous accusations on internet
 newsgroups and faxed. articles.
 
 Have MI5. lied to the Home Secretary?
 
 In order for the Security Services to bug my home,. they would either have
 needed a warrant from the Home Secretary, or they. might have instituted
 the bugging without a warrant. Personally I. think it is more likely that
 they didnt apply for a warrant - I. cannot see any Home Secretary giving
 MI5. authority to bug a residence to allow television newscasters to
 satisfy their rather voyeuristic needs vis-a-vis. one of their
 audience. But. it is possible that the Security Service presented a warrant
 in some form before a home secretary at some point. in the last nine years,
 for telephone tapping. or surveillance of my residence, or interception of
 postal. service.
 
 So the possibility presents itself that a. Home Secretary might have signed
 a warrant presented to him based on MI5 lies. Just. as MI5 lie to the
 Security Service Tribunal, so they might. have lied to a Home Secretray
 himself. MI5 and MI6 are naturally secretive services former. home
 secretary Roy Jenkins. said, they have a "secretive atmosphere
 .... secretive. vis-a-vis the government as well as [enemies]". Jenkins
 also said he "did not form a very high regard for how. they discharged
 their. duties".
 
 It was only a few years ago that MI5. was brought into any sot the
 extraordinary thing is that British media. organisations like the state-
 and taxpayer-funded BBC take such. an active part in the MI5-inspired
 campaign of harassment. We have after all heard of MI5. trying to bribe
 broadcast journalists; but surely there. must be a substantial number who
 are not bought or blackmailed by the Security. Services, and who take part
 in the "abuse by newscasters" of their own volition?. The BBC is supposed
 to be independent of the government. of the day as well as the
 Establishment in general. While perhaps it is childish to. think that the
 BBC is anything other than effectively state-controlled, the degree. of
 collusion between the. BBC and the British Secret Police MI5 is something
 you would not find. in many countries. Individual tele-journalists in other
 countries would have. enough self-esteem not to allow themselves to be
 controlled by their secret. police - seemingly, BBC broadcasters like
 Martyn Lewis and Nicholas Witchell have such a low opinion. of their
 employing organisation that they see no wrong in dragging the. BBCs
 no-longer-good name through yet more mud, at the mere. request (whether
 supported by. financial or other inducements) of the British secret Police,
 MI5.
 
 And when challenged,. these broadcasters LIE about their involvement, with
 just as little shame as MI5 themselves. The. BBCs Information dept have
 said. that;
 
 "I can assure you that the BBC would never engage in any. form of
 surveillance activity such as. you describe"
 
 which is an out-and-out lie. Buerk and Lewis have themselves. lied to their
 colleagues in the BBCs Information department over. the "newscaster
 watching", but unsurprisingly they. refuse to put these denials in
 writing. Doubtless if the "newscaster watching" ever. comes to light, Buerk
 and Lewis will then. continue to lie by lying about these denials. So much
 for. the "impartial" BBC, a nest of liars bought and paid for by the
 Security. Services!
 
 It is obvious that the persecution is at the. instigation of MI5 themselves
 - they have read my post, and only they have. the surveillance technology
 and media/political access. Yet they have lied. outright to the Security
 Service Tribunal. Similarly, BBC newscasters Michael Buerk and. Martyn
 Lewis have lied. to members of their own organisation. The continuing
 harassment indicates. they are all petrified of this business coming out
 into the open. I will continue to. do everything possible to ensure that
 their. wrongdoing is exposed.
