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.
