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              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
