-= MI5: bugging. and counter-surveillance -=

That's exactly what. we did. We went to a competent, professional detective
agency in London, paid them. over 400 quid to debug our house. They used
scanner devices. which go to over 1 GHz and would pick up any nearby
transmitter in that range, they. also checked the phones and found
nothing... but if the. tap was at the exchange, then they wouldn't find
anything,. would they?

CS: >Doesn't this suggest to you that there are, in fact, no bugs to be. found?

You can assume that they've done this. sort of thing to other people in more
"serious" cases,. where they would know the targets would suspect the
presence of electronic surveillance. So they will have. developed techniques
and devices which are not readily detectable either by visual. inspection or
by. electronic means. What those techniques might be, I couldn't guess.

In this case, the existence of bugging devices. was clear from the
beginning, and they. "rubbed it in" with what was said by the boy on the
coach. It was almost as if they wanted counter-surveillance. people to be
called in, who. they knew would fail to detect the bugging devices, causing
loss of credibility to the other things I would have to say. relating to the
harassment.

I did all the things someone in my situation would do to. try to find the
bugs. In addition to calling in professional help. using electronic
counter-surveillance, I made. a close visual inspection of electrical
equipment, plus any points where audio. or video surveillance devices might
have. been concealed. Of course, I found nothing. Normal surveillance
"mini-cameras" are quite noticeable and require visible. supporting
circuitry.. It seems to me the best place to put a small video surveillance
device would be additional to a piece of electronic equipment such as a. TV
or video. It would be necessary to. physically break in to a property to fit
such a. device.

-= who. knows about it? =-

Many people know, both in. the establishment and media, and among the
general public. Despite an absence of its target from the UK for. more than
two years, the echoes of paranoia can. still be heard loud and clear from
across the water. When it. started in 1990, the only people who knew were
those in BBC television who were spying on my home, and a. few radio
broadcasters. There were. a few cases of public harassment, but very little
compared to. the situation that developed a couple of years later.

The list today includes BBC TV staff (newsreaders such as Martyn. Lewis,
Michael Buerk, Nicholas Witchell), people from radio. stations such as
Chris Tarrant of Capital and Radio. 1 DJs, people in the print media, but
also many. people in the general public. All united in a conspiracy which
breaks the laws. which the UK does have regarding harassment, and all
completely uncaring for any semblance of. decency or elementary respect
for. individual rights.

The British. police (obviously) do know the nature of the harassment and in
all probability the identity of those behind it. Some time ago I made. a
complaint to my local police station in London,. without positive result.
The UK police are failing in their duty to see the. law enforced in not
checking the. abuse.

I call that a radical interpretation of the text.
