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.

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. 1936 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
