M,I-5'Persecutio n ' No J ustice f or the Victi ms of M I5
MI5 Persecution Update: Friday 11 June,. 1999 Harassment in a pub in. Clapham, Tuesday lunchtime Once a month, or. once every other month, I meet a Polish friends of mine who. lives in Clapham North, and sometimes we go to a particular pub near where he lives. The last time was some two months. ago; I did not have my minidisc-walkman with me,. and consequently was seriously harassed by people MI5 had instructed to. harass me, in the pub. This. Tuesday, 8 June 1999, we again went to the same pub for a pre-meal drink. This time I did have my minidisc-walkman with me.. As you can guess, we were followed into the pub by a couple of. young people (Im getting older and older -. isnt it funny how the MI5 agents all look young these days?). They started. talking about my situation, in particular some travel I had booked the previous day. Unfortunately, they. were talking fairly quietly, and my. minidisc didnt pick up their speech. MI5s schizophrenic reasoning is that simultaneously I am very. important and worthy of their acts. of persecution, and I am also totally unimportant and their abuse of. me "doesnt matter". Perhaps they should test their agents. and managers for obsessive personalities or psychotic features in the same way as. employees are drug-tested. MI5 might lose their "worst cases" employees if some psychological testing were applied. to their recruitment. procedure. Toothless Watchdogs. What. a Surprise. Recently I have been engaging in communications with two watchdogs,. the Security Service Tribunal which deals with complaints against the. security service (and always clears MI5 of any wrongdoing), and the Data. Protection Registrar, which is mandated to. investigate misuse of personal data held on. computer. In a letter to Nick Brooks, Security Service Tribunal. secretary, dated 20 April, I asked him if the. Tribunal, as an allegedly independent body, had the means to investigate complaints against MI5 other than asking. MI5 to themselves investigate complaints. To. my disappointment, his reply two weeks. later answered the question only indirectly, in the negative. Whatever the reader might think. of the merits of the case I have been putting before you in faxed articles. this last year and half, you will surely recognise that it is a significant anomaly for the Tribunal. to have no independent means of. investigating complaints, particularly given the view expressed even. by previous home secretaries that the security services. are untrustworthy. MI5 Persecution: No Justice. for the Victims of MI5 In a previous article I detailed the similarities between the. current MI5 Persecution in. England, and other historical instances of similar persecution,. notably that by the Nazi Germans in the thirties and forties. The Germans persecuted first the mentally ill, the epileptics. and those suffering from schizophrenia, then moved on to racial. groups; in todays Britain the persecution. is again directed at those with mental illness, which the British in. their cowardice find easier than taking on racial groups as the Germans did. But just as in Thirties Germany. there was no recourse against a malign and omnipotent state,. so the MI5 Secret Police in the modern British Fascist State. allow no justice for their victims. No Recourse Against the Security. Services Illegal Harassment It has become apparent to me over the last nine years just how loaded. the dice are. in todays Britain, a fundamentally fascist country which masquerades as a democracy. Britain is. a democracy in name only; the Establishment, the defence and. MI5 secret police are always there, regardless of which party has been voted into power most recently -. and from "New Labours" conduct in office one finds it. difficult to tell them apart from Old Tories, in their crackdowns on the sick. and vulnerable in society. In thirties Germany. the victims of the Nazi regime had no legal recourse against their State oppressors; and in todays Fascist. British state, the victims of the Establishment and. its MI5 Secret Police similarly have no recourse against the illegal state-funded and. organised oppression. There is supposed to be a. mechanism for dealing with MI5 crimes, in the shape of the Security Service Tribunal and Commissioner; yet these. have never found favour of a plaintiff. One might. as well ask the Nazi SS to investigate crimes against epileptics or. Jews as ask the Security Service Tribunal to investigate. MI5 crimes against British citizens; it is quite obvious what the answer is going to be, regardless of what you say to. them, and what evidence you provide. The Tribunal and Commissioner are a. mere formality, a whitewashing body. to give the Secret Services a veneer beneath which they hide their. shabby criminality. "Institutional Racism" and Bigotry. in the Metropolitan Police The recent inquiry into the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence found. clear evidence of systematic and deliberate racism in the. Metropolitan Police, which cannot have surprised anyone. Commissioner Sir Paul. Condon accepted a somewhat lukewarm definition of institutional racism as. being "unconscious". In truth,. and this truth must surely be obvious to anyone who has any familiarity or encountered the great British police,. the Met has not just "unconscious" racism, but. very clearly "conscious" and deliberate racism,. of the kind that would have done Thirties Germans proud. And it is a bastion of such open racism -. when many other parts of society are learning to live in. a multicultural environment, the Met is still. living in the past in its attitude to the minorities. But in. addition to the systematic racism confirmed by the Lawrence inquiry, there is also something much more relevant to. this case, which is systematic police bigotry against the physically. and mentally disabled, which I. personally have experienced in my dealings with the police over the years.. You cannot expect equal treatment if you are mentally disabled. I tried. to make a complaint to the police in 1995 about the harassment I. had been subjected to for several years. As soon as they found out I. had mental illness, they refused to even talk to me. I tried again in March 1999; the police made various threats to me, while. ranting about "your paranoid rubbish" in. reference to the complaints expressed to them. The police refusal to do the job they are employed and paid to do. is extremely serious,. particularly as this case is highly important, indeed key to the whole issue of British self-perception at. the end of the 20th century and the beginning of. the 21st century. Britain has lost much in the last. fifty years - it has lost an empire, it has lost its self-respect and its. identity as a people. If the MI5 persecution finally makes it into the light and the Security Services are seen for the rather cheap. bullies their behaviour indicates, it will have a massive and. harmful effect on British self-perception. in the new century. Security Service Tribunal. - Blatant Whitewashing A few. weeks ago I spoke on the phone to Nick Brooks, the Secretary of the Security Service Tribunal,. which is supposed to deal with cases of MI5 transgression. I asked him if the Tribunal had ever found. in favour of a plaintiff and against the Security Service. He answered that as far. as he knew,. it had not. I also asked Mr Brooks if the Tribunal had. any means of investigating allegations of. criminal activity by MI5, other than asking MI5 themselves if they had engaged in such activity. His. rather circuitous written reply states that the 1989. Security Service Act provides that "it shall be the duty of every member of the Service to disclose or give to the. Tribunal such documents or information as they may require for the. purpose of enabling them to carry out their functions. under this Act". Which is a very round-about. way of saying - "No" - the Tribunal has no way of investigating. MI5 crimes - None At All. Setting. up the S.S. Tribunal, and creating a Security Service Commissioner, was really an. act of falsehood by the government. It is generally recognised that MI5 are out. of reach of the normal criminal justice system - the police,. as we have seen, have no intesot answer to the government; in a previous article. I quoted Roy Jenkins speaking of "a secretive atmosphere.... secretive vis-a-vis the government as. well as [enemies]", and a "lack of. frankness" from MI5. If the government wanted to,. it could reform the secret services and ensure they. acted in conformance with the laws which have been enacted for them in the last ten years. But apparently the present government. does not see any need to ensure security service compliance with the law. As. noted above, the regulatory. machinery for MI5 is deliberately weak; the Tribunal has no. independent means of investigation, and it is simply a waste of time. complaining to the Tribunal or Commissioner. Every so often, fresh revelations come. to light of secret service transgressions.. We have heard from Shayler that MI5 bugged Jack Straw and Peter Mandelson; we have heard from Peter Wright that MI5. plotted to see Wilson ejected from office; yet so closed is the system of. government that the law is never. enforced against MI5 when they "bug and burgle" everyone from. politicians to ordinary citizens. No Justice. from the Legal System, either Britain has a civil and criminal justice. system which effectively limits many complaints from being heard. For a civil. complaint to be brought before. a court, you need a solicitor willing to act on your behalf. Supposedly it is possible to represent yourself as. a Litigant-in-Pthe basis of. being "frivolous and vexatious" or "disclosing no cause for action. in law". This is exactly what happened to me in 1997 when I twice tried to take the BBC to. court for spying on me in my living room at home; my case was. twice struck out, and on the second occasion an order was made. against me that I could not bring further civil litigation against the BBC without. leave of the court. As the reader can guess it is quite impossible. for a person with schizophrenia, who complains about the secret. services and media interfering in his life, to find a solicitor willing to represent. him in legal action against the persecutors. I have quite a lot of evidence. of the continuing persecution which I. have posted on the website, even if the evidence is. quite tentative and perhaps open to varying interpretations. But I have tried several firms. of solicitors; some of them have acted unprofessionally. and abused me; all of them have refused to represent me. My psychiatrist gave me. the name of the firm of Bindman and Partners in central London, and. I have approached them twice. On each occasion they refused to accept my instructions. Plainly the. problem with Bindmans, which they have admitted,. is their bigotry against mentally disabled people; yet this is not just something that is wrong. with Bindmans, it is something that is wrong with the legal. system as a whole, since the legal. system necessitates finding a solicitor willing to represent you in order to bring a case to court, but it does not. have a mechanism for providing a lawyer in the case where. no solicitor is willing to take on your case. So the British legal system is such. as to prevent cases such as mine. from ever receiving an airing in a court. So much for the civil courts. But the criminal justice system is. no better. Two years ago the Protection from Harassment Act. came into force. But again, while the Act is all. very well on paper, in practice it is unenforceable in. my case, since it would require Police action to see the law implemented,. and if the police cannot even be trusted to conduct a murder investigation competently (in the Lawrence case), then. what chance is there of their investigating complaints. against the Security Service? Of course,. it would be possible for me to personally issue proceedings through a private. prosecution either against MI5 themselves, or against one or more of their media tools; but here we see. the same problems as with the civil courts, because first. of all I would have to find a lawyer willing to act on my behalf. Litigants-in-person do. exist in the criminal courts, but the Attorney General can. bring such a prosecution to an end. by taking it over and entering a plea of "nolle prossequi"; and I suspect that if I were to bring a private prosecution against either. MI5 or one of their media tools, then. this is exactly what would happen. So much for British justice. But if anything. the wrongs that have been perpetrated. on me by the British justice system are quite mild to what others have suffered. Others have been. wrongly convicted based on police evasions and lies, and spent many years in jail based on false. charges. I should count myself lucky. that despite the best efforts of the MI5 secret police, I have not acquired. any criminal charges or convictions; which shows that. for all their resources and influence, and the clear imperfections in the British legal system, there. are still limits on how much subversion MI5 can. achieve. The latest in. a long line of injustices A comment I heard during the. recent scandal of the police mishandling of the Lawrence murder investigation is that "its not. as if the police themselves murdered him". This is not a particularly wise statement. to make about the case, since it could be argued. that the four alleged murderers were aided in their crime by the. expectation that the police would deliberately botch. the investigation - which of course is exactly what the police. did. But in my case, this. would be a completely inaccurate thing to say - since the MI5 secret-police have expressly been. trying to nine years now to see an end put. to my life, either by having me incarcerated and my liberty ended, or by forcing. self-termination on me. It is exactly as if the secret police. "themselves murdered [me]", since that is what their aim is in their. campaign against me. The public. has heard of instances of police mishandling of cases, of police manufacturing evidence, lying in. court, extracting false confessions to clear up crimes, et cetera.. Various instances of extra-legal activity. by the secret services have also come to light in the last few years. The unhappy. truth is that what MI5 have been doing to me for the last nine years is really nothing out of the ordinary. for them. To me it seems. unbelievable that this sort of systematic campaign of harassment, which thousands and thousands of people in this country. and abroad are well aware of, could exist for such. a long period of time with the media maintaining "omerta". But my case is. not the first such instance of persecution by the "British secret police", and judging. by the lack of any real controls on MI5, I very much doubt it will be. the last. 4362 -- Posted via NewsDemon.com - Premium Uncensored Newsgroup Service -------http://www.NewsDem |
