  • International Association of Writers and Researchers MI5 and TORTURE in the UK The all-pervading fascism that Margaret Thatcher brought to the United Kingdom was eagerly exploited by almost all sections of MI5 and MI6 the British security services. Both organizations quickly realized what the unaccountable power she offered could do for them. They grasped that power with open arms. The few brave souls inside security, who dared to question - let alone oppose Thatcher's fascism, were quickly removed from their positions. Some operatives, like Tomlinson and Shalyer for instance, were fitted-up and driven out of the country, pretty much like many other 'civilian' dissidents had been throughout previous years. These outlawed security operatives foolishly tried to bargain their way back into the country. But, as other security dissenters had already found out, that was impossible. They were no longer considered as being 'one of us' as Thatcher likes to put it, and being so put them 'beyond the pale' of the security services forever. These intelligence operatives now know just how right they were to stand up for what they believed to be right. And no doubt, like the thousands of other British dissidents before them, they will have come to realize that their own struggle against fascism and authoritarian rule in Britain is going to be a very long one indeed. Those of us who have been at the forefront of that struggle for almost thirty years know only too well how Tomlinson, Shayler, and the American dissident Phillip Agee, must feel. Their betrayal by successive governments in the countries they were once proud of is hard to tolerate. However, being hounded from one country to another brings with it a wisdom and sense of survival few other people experience. We continue the struggle for truth and justice hoping that we will in the end be vindicated and that the Thatcher's and Pinochet's of this world might hopefully one day be looked upon as the evil curiosities they are. Whatever, these latest defectors from the various 'intelligence' services have provided human rights groups and other researchers with some rare gems of 'inside' information. The Internet has allowed that information to quickly spread around the entire globe. This free flow of Internet information has prompted international security services into trying to dream up all kinds of actions designed to prevent access to it by dissidents worldwide. In some countries, such as the UK, security has prevented Internet access to some writers simply by interfering with their phone lines. For instance raising the 'gain' quickly up and down on a telephone line causes a connection to repeatedly 'drop', therefore preventing proper access to the Internet. So far as British dissidents are concerned this kind of 'line interference' is rife. I personally suffered it for years. No matter how many written complaints I made to British Telecom. That organization may own the phone lines but MI5 has total control over them and it uses that control ruthlessly against any dissenter. Indeed, MI5 has one department devoted to nothing else but that. Just as they have other departments that control the media or anything else that might ensure a true democracy in Britain. And of course MI5 also goes in for Internet 'gagging' in other ways. Trying to obtain and then distribute any kind of worthwhile information inside the UK can often be a mind-boggling exercise in futility. That kind of interference has prevented many writers from distributing any kind of real information inside Britain and the 'official' media there now continually feeds citizens little more than a diet of sensationalized rubbish. The British are very prone to using the words 'democracy' and 'freedom' at every opportunity. However, when it comes down to actually trying to use either of those virtues in the true sense of their meaning one very quickly realizes that they are nothing but a myth. In the United Kingdom neither true democracy nor real freedom exists in any shape or form whatsoever. Indeed at best the country is nothing more than just another repressive Police State. The above situation has made MI5's indoctrination and manipulation of the British people very easy indeed. Mass brainwashing it certainly is. But in the UK it seems to work. Indeed, almost any 'information' that is featured in British newspapers or on television is quite apparently believed by huge sections of the population without a second thought. Indeed most of the people there have become so subservient they will believe almost anything at all - if someone in authority tells them that it's true. A fact now quickly noticed by many overseas visitors. Some of who sadly shake their heads as they wonder what happened to the spirit of a people who were once justly proud of being different and who were once so successful because of it? What happened was Thatcher's blatant fascism. Exactly as her friend Pinochet had done in Chile she gathered every force of repression available to her and used it to break the spirit of her own people. The advent of Tony Blair's Labor Party has done nothing to correct this sad situation. Though we hadn't expected that it would. Underneath Tony Blair's phony socialist cloak lays a true blue Tory. As the left wing lawyer and QC Michael Mansfield was quick to point out within a week of Blair taking office. Any dismantling of Britain's fascist Police State certainly won't come from the present occupant of 10 Downing Street. Nor will Blair end the persecution, torture and murder of British intellectuals. Their only hope of salvation will come from an enlightened public who, when finally realizing the truth of what has happened within their own country, will raise up against it. Hypocrisy, however, is an integral part of the Tory Establishment. Everyone in it will fight any threats to its power structure by all means possible. By which I mean the security services, the military, the police and any other forces it can muster. And it will muster them all in order to save itself from the charges that undoubtedly will be leveled at them by the many victims of its oppression. Hundreds of establishment figures are implicated in the torture and murder of British citizens. They know what the public exposure of those crimes that will cost them. Crimes against humanity are high crimes indeed. Torture - by whatever method, and the murders of citizens - for whatever reason, are both grave crimes punishable by life imprisonment. And under the last four British governments many thousands of government employees - and others, all the way down from the Prime Ministers office have willingly colluded in the repression, torture and murder of British people whose only crime was to think differently. These dissenters have broken no laws, committed no crimes. Nor have they been charged with any crime against any British government. Yet, against all the rules of decency and common justice, these dissenters have had the full force of the British State used against them in every way possible. They have been the victims of character assassination, they have been hounded and persecuted around the clock, they have been deprived of their livelihoods, they have been mercilessly tortured, driven half-insane by high-tech microwave devices and murdered by the very people who should have been protecting them. But who instead abused their authority to repress them. Microwave weapons of destruction can be used without the victims themselves being aware of their use against them. Or indeed that the use of them against human beings can interfere with blood pressure, the cardiovascular system, the digestive system, the glands, the metabolism, the reproductive system, the central nervous system, the visual system, body cells, and internal sound perception. These disruptions that severely upset the usual functions taking place within the human body can cause severe depression at the very least. But eventually they will undoubtedly lead to a total breakdown of the system thus causing heart failure and death. We know this to be true because defectors from the police and intelligence services have provided enough information on the subject to fill ten books at least. Indeed, so arrogant are some of the people mentioned in this outpouring of information they readily spout out their fascist views. They inform us, the public, that they know what is best for us, and that the experimentation and repression of whole populations is in 'the public interest'. They then further inform us of exactly how that repression is carried out. We are provided with drawings and technical diagrams that both show and explain exactly how microwave and psychotronic weapons work and how they can be used at a distance against any dissident without their being aware of it. By this I mean that these weapons can be used from the house next door, a street away, from an aircraft flying above or even connected to the cell phones people hold in their hands. All of these methods can insidiously be used against anyone at any time - and from almost anywhere in the world. That these weapons are being used against us is amply demonstrated by the hundreds of surviving victims. These people have testified to the fact of their torture and repression. And they have subsequently joined together in many survival groups worldwide. These human rights organizations now openly publish victim survivor lists over the Internet. These lists grow almost daily as other torture victims come into the fold. Supporters of some victims are also joining these groups as they realize just how widespread government sponsored repression, torture and murder has become. Psychotronic weapons are not confined to countries under obvious dictatorships; so-called 'democratic' countries are also using them. They are ideal weapons for rigging political elections. MI5 has used them against 'uncooperative' political candidates for many years. So much so that today any really honest British politician would find it extremely difficult if not impossible to get elected. Indeed, it's doubtful that they would even get to first base. Examples of this sad state of affairs can be found all over Britain. One prime example of a blatantly politically corrupt town is Harrogate in the North of England. Laying almost next door to the American National Security Agency's Menwith Hill radar and microwave station, Harrogate and every politician in it is to all intents and purposes owned and controlled by MI5 and the police Special Branch. Together these two security organizations have turned Harrogate into the fascist heartland of Britain. This town is a definite no go area for anyone but fascists and their followers. The takeover of Harrogate by MI5 was carried out under the pretexts of 'State Security' and the so-called 'National Interest'. The two magical phrases the security services always use to further their own interests and powerbase. Whatever, Harrogate and other British towns that are totally controlled by British security are used as special 'torture bases'. Dissidents are specifically directed to these towns by security 'stooges' and Agent Provocateurs to be 'broken' by whatever means security considers necessary. Safe in the knowledge that no town resident would dare oppose them security service torture teams openly use psychological torture methods and psychotronic devices at will and against anyone they wish. Indeed, special 'torture' houses and apartments have long been set up in these towns. Under various pretences dissidents are lured into living in these torture centers. Once there they soon become totally isolated and their torture by psychotronic weapons begins. However, so confident are these security torture teams they also direct their psychological operations against dissidents in public places such as hotels, restaurants and pubs, where they are assured of and get the full cooperation of the management. Indeed, in torture towns such as Harrogate there is nowhere any dissenter can go to feel free or indeed be free of these resident torture teams. All of who are employed either directly or indirectly by MI5 and the Police Special Branch. It should be remembered that no restaurant, hotel or pub anywhere in Britain could get a drinking license without the full cooperation of the police. No cooperation with security would mean no business. It's as simple as that. However, fascism is now so ingrained within Harrogate many residents willingly play along with whatever security asks of them. They need no prompting whatsoever. This cooperation also includes some supposedly left-wing politicians who have totally colluded with all actions taken against dissidents whether it is by the police or MI5 torture teams. Whatever, this wholesale collusion of MI5, the Police Special Branch and thousands of Harrogate residents also has a bright side to it. Their participation in the torture of dissidents is an open secret in the town. And it is one that can easily be exploited in a court of law. Money alone is the God of all fascists, and when a very large amount of money - money running into the tens of millions, is on offer, it will quickly prompt some of them into getting a chunk of it. Simply by telling the truth. Helping to bring their fellow conspirators to justice may go against their political beliefs, but they will become willing witnesses when a very long spell in prison becomes the only alternative. Witnesses to these security services gross violation of human rights are to be found all over the world. In trying to avoid persecution and torture in their own countries victims moved on to more democratic shores where freedom of expression wasn't considered a crime. And now the Internet has allowed them to freely communicate with each other. Legal representation on an international level becomes the next step in their campaign for justice and fair compensation for their suffering. Indeed some victims in the United States and Canada have already obtained settlements. British torture victims have previously been severely hindered in their search for legal representation. The ignorance of British lawyers in regard to modern torture technology was one reason. Their obvious unwillingness to take on any case that brought them into opposition with the Establishment and the security forces was another. Plus the fact of torture victims having very little cash to offer them. For one of the very first actions taken by security against dissidents is to deprive dissidents of making a decent living. A word in any employer's ear from British security quickly ensures the dissident employee's departure. Getting a worthwhile job of any kind thereafter becomes near impossible unless the victim becomes self-employed or can survive financially by other means. Most can't, and in any case torture victims suffer from a wide variety of health complaints simply because they have been tortured. However, compensation for torture victims today will probably run into millions of dollars. For instance; former hostage Terry Anderson was recently awarded $341 million against Iran for his seven years in captivity there. Many British torture victims have suffered far longer than that. They have also been treated far worse than Terry Anderson was. And there are a great many of them. British torture victims will therefore soon intensify their own publicity and claims against the British State. Many prominent people will then face the gravest allegations of repression and torture. It is only a matter of time before they will be called upon to defend themselves in a court of law. Working on a contingency basis human rights lawyers can now expect to earn huge sums of money by representing British torture victims. They know how badly their clients have suffered under British repression, they know exactly how that repression and torture was carried out. They know who were the perpetrators of that torture. And finally they also know who was responsible for it being carried out in the first place. There are many witnesses to the facts. And they have overwhelming evidence to prove every point of their cases. Should the British government decide otherwise massive international publicity will quickly follow as further torture victims surface and also come forward to tell of their own suffering. The ensuing outcry from around the world would undoubtedly damage Britain's already frail reputation, possibly to an extent that as yet cannot be imagined. Amongst the people expected to be called into court are ex-prime ministers, serving ministers, many other politicians past and present, heads of security and police special branch officers. Other people who have been identified as having been willing accomplices to the many serious crimes alleged by British torture victims will also be called into court. Should these crimes be proven they warrant sentences of up to life imprisonment. Neither ignorance of the law nor spurious claims of it being abused in the interests of 'National Security' will be tolerated. Nor will 'Sovereign Immunity'. Such pretexts are not acceptable by lawyers as being in defense of Britain's national security. None of the British torture victims can be classified as having been in a position to damage Britain's security in any way whatsoever. They were targeted and tortured simply because they opposed fascism and for no other reason than that. The officials under whom these criminals in the security services serve - and from whom they take their orders must and will be held responsible and accountable for their illegal and inhuman actions against British citizens. Just as Hitler's Nazis were held accountable for their crimes against humanity after the last world war. For make no mistake; the present day fascists who control and suppress the British population are no different whatsoever from the degenerate Nazis of Hitler's Germany. They are alike in every respect.
