Jackie King from the Flying Eye 14/3/99

Certainty level: 40%

In early March 1999, Capital Radio alleged they had received some emails,
one of which was forwarded to me. It contained the words, "you know this
bloke, he says we're trying to kill him, we should be done for attempted
manslaughter!" which Chris Tarrant had said in 1994.

Following these emails there was an explosion in abuse activity, both from
Capital Radio, and from MI5 themselves. MI5 followed me around and hurled
abuse at me. The following audio file contains what may be abuse from the
radio station.

Jackie King from the Flying Eye made these remarks on Sunday (14/3/99)
lunchtime 12.24pm; "gas main work being, er, HANDLED if you like (laughs,
embarrassed) outside Madame Tussauds, Euston Road obviously feeling the
backlash of that".

The key word is "handled", which she sounds embarrassed to be saying; to
me it looks like an attempt at a sexual slander. Capital Radio aren't even
pretending not to get at me any more. I asked Chris Tarrant several times
about his remark from 1994, and he has consistently avoided answering.

Virgin Radio-Johnny Boy (21/August/1998)

Certainty level: 60%

On Saturday 15 August 1998 I attended a gathering of contributors to
newsgroup uk.misc at London's Victoria railway station. Also present was
Simon G, who had previously given this description of what he would be
wearing;

At 06:36 AM 13/8/98 GMT, Simon wrote:
>further clarification to aid recognition, i'll be wearing
>a t shirt, a brown suede waistcoat, a brown suede miniskirt,
>& a pair of patchwork leggings (& may have a widebrimmed straw
>hat, too).

It is my belief that my persecutors, who monitor my home telephone line
(and consequently read all modem communications including email),
were aware of this meeting, and may even have observed the "meat" taking
place.

Following the "meat" it seemed to me that one or two attempts were made by
my persecutors to portray me as "gay", on the basis of Simon's suede
miniskirt, which in their inventiveness my persecutors attributed to me,
not Simon. (Just for the record, Simon is hetero, and has agreed to the
above email extract being published.) The following item from Johnny Boy's
Wheels of Steel (between 7pm-11pm, Friday 21/8/98) is one such attempt.

(conversation) (J=Johnny-Boy, H=Hipster)

J: Texas of course part of V98 this weekend enjoy it if you're going. Keep
your eyes out on Sunday in Chelmsford for Hipster, because he's going to
be there. What are you going to be wearing?

H: I'll be wearing my, er, my suede shorts.
(sycophantic laughter)

J: and believe me he ain't joking, he ain't joking. OK coming next at Virgin
on the Wheels of Steel...

Why do I think Hipster's "suede shorts" refers to Simon's mini-skirt?
Because "suede" in both cases (obvious!); because "suede shorts" indicates
"gay" which they were trying to pin on me; because "shorts" = something
short, such as a "mini"-skirt; and because the two DJs both laughed as soon
as Hipster said "suede shorts", they knew what the joke was, they knew that
they were meant (and probably paid) to find it funny.

What seems to be common in this industry is that they're required to
offer certain services, but not required to advertise them. I had to
dig to find the cost for non-subscribers to get access to cable
internet. My cost would be $57.00.

I decided to wait till ATT is required to offer naked DSL (DSL without
phone service) in December. Your phone co may have this, but you'd have
to call them.

In the meantime, I'm quite satisfied with my free wireless service from
the flower shop on the corner.

Virgin Radio-Johnny Boy (19/June/1999)

Certainty level: 30%

I'm not quite sure about this one, so I've given it a one in three chance
of being about me. First the background.... from mid-March 1999 for some
three or four months, every weekend, I bombarded Westminster MPs with
faxes about the terrible, all-encompassing MI5 Persecution. (Jesting aside,
it really is terrible and all-encompassing, in the UK anyway.) Of course
each week some MPs replied; but in June 1999, after I'd been at it some
three months, I started getting "covert" feedback from Virgin Radio.

The first feedback I got was from Danny Baker, on Sunday 13th June. That
weekend I was sending an article which contained biting criticism of the
police inaction in this case. Danny Baker on his Virgin radio show started
an angry rant that "he knows it's rubbish", ie. he was rubbishing what I'd
said in that weekend's faxed article. Unfortunately I wasn't recording this
programme.

The next possible Virgin-Radio feedback was a week later on 19th June 1999.
This is contained in the audio file above, in which Johnny Boy on his
"Wheels of Steel" programme says;

"and if you would like to put a triple play together, ahhh.... because
quite frankly Hipster and me are running out of ideas...."

He goes on to counter Hipster's "how dare you" with a protestation that he
is "only joking".

What I reckon is that my article faxed to MPs that weekend was forwarded
by one of the recipients to Virgin Radio. My article had included the words;

"I am beginning to run out of both new topics and energy to write
these articles."

So what I reckon is that Johnny Boy read the article.... and rephrased
the above line "run out of ... new topics" to "running out of ideas".
I recognise that this is a pretty tenuous inference to make.... but do
listen to the audio file, from the "ahhh...." pause in JB's speech you
can guess he is about to say something "risky" and at someone's expense.
Anyway, I listen to the Wheels of Steel regularly and will continue to do
so, recording it as I always do - so any future funny remarks will get
immortalised on these pages!

The news is filled at the moment with potential horror stories about
the world economy and it all has a very familiar ring. Forget about
the nonsense you hear from economists and business news correspondents
about the 'economic cycle', it's all run like a military operation.

First of all, I should make the point, not that readers of these
newsletters need telling, that the economic system is utterly, totally
and completely, without any saving grace, insane to the point where
nothing less than a padded cell is applicable. Or, at least it would
be if its intention was really to serve the interests of the human
race and our shared environment. But, given that its entire structure
is there to enslave the global population, the apparently insane
morphs into the truly brilliant ...

... The simple fact is this: When banks make a loan they 'create' on
their computer screens (put into circulation) the amount of the loan.
They do not create the interest that will have to be paid on that
loan. This means that there is never enough 'money' in circulation to
pay back all the principle and interest on the loans that have been
made at every level of global society.

Unpayable debt, bankruptcy and economic catastrophe for the victims is
built into the system - on purpose.

Brighton Day Trip - 24/Sept/1998

Certainty level: 5%

On a day trip to Brighton, carrying a minidisc recorder, I managed to
collect several indistinct instances of what I think were people swearing
at me. Between the 0.5 and 1.5 second marks of the above recording is
something that sounds like "nutter". I recorded at least three other much
more obscene sexual words on the same day.

I don't honestly think the "nutter" recorded here is part of the conspiracy
against me. I've been called similar things elsewhere, where it's been
blindingly clear that the insult does form part of the conspiracy - but
not in this case. This illustrates quite a worrying point - as a result of
the many years of abuse "in public", I now sometimes simply don't know
whether somebody is insulting me because they think I look like a dweeb, or
whether the conspiracy is in action. Sometimes, due to background noise
and people talking quietly relative to ambient noise, I can't be sure of
what's being said, even after listening to it again on my minidisc. Or put
another way, I now have a mild form of what I recognise to be occasional
auditory delusions - but these are fuelled by the many years of actual
verbal abuse.

From spring thru fall, I just add a squirt of dishwasher fluid to water.
I let the contents nearly run out by December and then start using the

POSK Cafe - 2/Feb/1998

Here are two independent segments, both of which occurred in London on
the same day, the first at a Polish cafe, the second on the Tube.

Certainty level: 100%

POSK is the Polish Social-Cultural Centre in Hammersmith, London. It has
quite a nice cafe which does pierogi, golabki etc. I went there with my
mother early in 1998. Seated at the window table were three Polish men
talking amongst themselves. One of them let rip with a sexual obscenity
which was clearly directed at me (it's the same one that's been heard
again and again since about November 1995), and which was recorded on my
minidisc walkman. I have not included it in the above excerpt, which shows
the reaction of another of the trio to the first man's swearing - namely,
"jestes swinia jednak" which in English is "nevertheless you're a swine".

Certainty level: 20%

Somewhere on the London Underground. "Psycho" (I think - a little unclear).

Have you also considered what would happen if the power went off or the
freezer failed while you were away?

Also you might want to consider other stores that can't afford to spend
all of that money to tell you how good they are. For example in my area
there is a locally owned store that has really good meat that is cut in
house (not the Walmart embalmed stuff) and their prices are always good
so there isn't even a point to try and stock up.

I appreciate the 2 answers so far. We don't have any other grocery
stores that offers cheaper meats that I know off but I will ask
around, that's a good idea.
Buying another freezer is a big purchase so I don't want to make a
mistake.

Thanks a lot

Nah! In Brooklyn we rarely miss. Unless of course it's a rapper holding the
gun. I was talking about "Meet Cathy who's been most everywhere, from
Zanzibar to Barkley Square. But Patty's only seen the sights a girl can see
