Subject: MI5 Persecution: Counter-surveillance sweep by Nationwide Investigations Group



Counter-surveillance sweep by Nationwide Investigations Group

In July 1994 the private detective agency Nationwide Investigations Group conducted an electronic counter-surveillance
sweep of my parents' home in London. They checked for radio transmitter devices, and tested the telephone line for attached
bugs. They found nothing.

I am afraid that I was unsurprised at their not finding any evidence of covert surveillance. It had been made very clear to me,
particularly during 1990-92, that audio, and almost certainly video, surveillance of my parents' home was taking place. But this
would not have been made quite so obvious unless the persecutors were confident of their apparatus being undetectable using the
technology the police, or a private agency like Nationwide, would be using.

I don't know very much about the surveillance technology that has been used against me, but I understand that devices can be built
which switch off on receiving a coded command, and may switch on again after a counter- surveillance sweep has completed; that devices
may rapidly alter the frequency of transmission, "frequency-hopping" devices which presumably cannot be detected in a sequential scan
of the sort employed by Nationwide; and of course "probe" microphones can be inserted "through-the-wall", although I hesitate to
believe our neighbours would permit this.

We paid Nationwide £411.25 (including VAT) for the surveillance sweep, which took them about an hour and a half to complete, using
a "Professional 5000 multi-scanner, CCL UHF scanner and Guideline telephone tap detector." As I said above, I don't know very much
about these things, so I can't comment on the capabilities or otherwise of this equipment. But clearly the "watchers" are using
technology which in 1994 was beyond the detection capabilities of a good private detective agency.

Those Aussie trees are all over the place and the roots are screwing
up the sewers, sidewalks, streets, etc worse than a soft Maple or a
weeping willow.

People start to bitch when the street crews go down the streets
cutting them down, but they have little choice.

Native California trees include the giant redwood.

In SoCal? Thought those stopped at the Tehacapi Range.

Maybe something in a native oak? Nice and gnarly...

Yeah, and they exude a poison from their roots which reduces the viability
of plants that would otherwise be competition for Australia's poor shallow
soil and low water.

They don't belong there.
