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

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