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.

The March 1998 issue (number 42). of .net Magazine reviews the website

describing it as an "excellent. site". Since August 11, 1996 over 50,000

people have browsed this. website.

You are encouraged to read the. web pages which include

a FAQ (frequently asked questions) section. outlining the nature of the

persecutors, their methods of harassment through the. media, people at work

and among the general. public

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.
