[…] MI5 (after Shayler etc) and the hanky-panky in Leeds over the last few years between the BNP, AFA et al; Robin Whittaker on ‘A Method of Inducing Mind Disturbance in Targets Practicised by the British “Permanent Government”‘, an attempt to systematise what is known about this difficult subject – Whittaker has been dealing with […]
[…] – and the rest of us – are all likely to be heading. Some years ago Armen Victorian and I discussed assembling all the documents on surveillance, mind control, non-lethal weapons and so on he had accumulated over his years of bombarding the U.S. FOIA system with thousands of requests.

[…] more to boost support for those pursuing a violent solution for Northern Ireland than anything that they could have done themselves. There is no doubt in my mind that the Royal Ulster Constabulary had a shoot-to-kill policy. That has been successfully covered up, but it came close to exposure when Mr. John Stalker was […]

Apparently with the model of the FBI’s franchise in mind – subversion, terrorism, espionage and federal crime – Mrs Rimington is pitching to take over part of the police’s crime franchise.
