My first reaction in 1990/91 was to assume that if I. broke contact then

they would not be able to follow. and would lose interest. So I did the

things that have been suggested. by other people; I sold my television,

stopped. listening to the radio and tried to withdraw away from the sources

of abuse as much as possible. I. reasoned that they must have more important

things to deal with and that normal people. would simply leave me alone if

it were made. difficult for them to continue their harassment.

 

I reckoned without the sheer. vindictiveness of the abusers. They did not

let up but instead "got to" people around me, mainly. people at work, to do

their dirty work for them. I went to see my. GP, who refused to believe what

he was being told, and. refused to direct me on to anyone who could be of

practical assistance. It was not until three years had. passed that the GP

admitted the matter was outside his competence and. suggested going to the

police.

 

In the summer of. 1994 we called in counter-surveillance experts from a

private detective. agency to sweep our house and telephone for bugging

devices. They conducted a thorough search and found nothing; but. as noted

above, since the existence of surveillance was being forced in. my face by

the harassers, you. would expect them to have taken the possibility of a

counter-surveillance sweep into account when planning the type. of devices

to. be employed.

 

In Easter. 1995 I made a complaint to my local Police station in London, but

the police have not expressed any intention to do. anything about the

continuing harassment ("we're not saying. it's happening and we're not

saying. it isn't happening" were the words used). I think the officer I

spoke to at Easter wasn't aware of it happening, although. other members of

the police force obviously. do know.

 

From April 1995 until the present time the matter has. been discussed in a

lot of detail on the. Usenet (Internet) "uk.misc" newsgroup. That discussion

has given birth to the article which. you are now reading. My hopes in

posting to Usenet. were that wider publicizing would discourage the security

services from continuing their harassment, and "draw. people out" into

concurring with the truth of. what was being said. Neither of those have

followed, but the discussion has served a purpose in allowing. this

structured report to. be created.
