   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
