   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

   workplace harassment, rated according to how directly I think they refer. to me

   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
