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.

you provide me with your fax number or. email address if you require a

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.
