    - Into Table or Into Cursor Is one "really" faster than the other? I got into the habit of always using ...INTO TABLE TableName... instead of ...INTO CURSOR CursorName... for all SQL queries because I had problems with indexing, record numbers, etc. and reliability in the older versions. I've done no real testing, but one seems to work as fast as the other in VFP9, even with large query results. Is this because cpu speed, hard drive speed, or does Foxpro really buffer the result anyway and write it to the hard drive when it gets the chance? Or is it my imagination that one is as fast as the other? Steve Meyerson Tag: Help. Tag: 229647

    - Alter Table question Does ALTER TABLE work with cursors as well as tables? The following two lines: Select cFamilyname from People into cursor Trythis Readwrite Alter table Trythis add column Anything C(20) fails with 'Invalid operation for this cursor'. However if I try it with a different table, creating a different cursor with different fieldnames it consistently works. I have checked both tables, rebuilt them from scratch etc to try to see if there is anything different between them, apart from names. The foxpro help doesn't mention cursors, but Hackers Guide 7 states that it will work with cursors, allbeit the wording says "ALTER TABLE works not only on tables, but also on cursors built with CREATE CURSOR" so I am wondering whether it can or can't be relied on to work with cursors created via SELECT or whether I am doing something wrong. I have tried in both vfp7 and vfp9 Many thanks Stephen Tag: Help. Tag: 229616

    - VFP 8.0 losing memory variables I have a very large application that seems to be losing a public object variable at run-time. I create define a public variable "pScreen", initialize the variable with a blank string and then issue a command such to create a form linking the variable to the screen. Such as: PUBLIC pScreen pScreen = "" DO FORM SomeScreen NAME pScreen LINKED NOSHOW ...... Somewhere in the code the variable is undefined (ie. TYPE("pScreen")= "U"). I know this because when a code tries to reference the pScreen variable, an exception is thrown. To debug, I set a breakpoint immediately after the "DO FORM" and put TYPE("pScreen") into the watch window. I set a breakpoint on the watch for when TYPE("pScreen") changes. Without any other program code changes, the application runs fine and the variable never becomes undefined (until I want it to be undefined)!!! I follow the exact same keystrokes/mouse clicks when running in debug mode with the watch as without. Any ideas of why the variable becomes undefined somewhere in the code but not when a watch/breakpoint is set? Tag: Help. Tag: 229591

    - Escape, read events & loops This is an old story: I have a form that initiates a lengthy batch processing loop. The command buttons on the form are unclickable while the loop is running so I set escape on, test for inkey() and exit if the user presses escape.... This get me back to my read events statement and the buttons become alive again. This method is as old as the hills and somewhat inelegant. Are there any other or newer suggestions? -Lew Tag: Help.

    - use of "do while" in Visual foxpro 6 I have a problem using the do while command. In fact, I have a table (magazines.dbf) that consists of 900.000 records, each representing sales figures of a magazine. There are 800 different magazines in the table. Each record has a unique (numeric key - magnumber) that serves as a proxy for the name of a magazine (numbers start from 100 through 900). What I want to do, is to add records from a given magazine to another table (report.dbf), and run a program (retail.prg) and repeat this until the final number of 900 is reached. I tried this : cnt=100 do while cnt <= 900 use report delete all pack append from magazines for manumber=cnt do retail.prg cnt=cnt+1 enddo The report is provided for the records with magnumber=100 but at the line "cnt=cnt+1" I receive the message "variable CNT is not found".

    - timing of updating data from a control When changing data via a control bound to a data source, there is some delay until the change actually registers. This is a particular problem with a check box in a grid, where I am trying to count the number of .T. values in that field. I usually have interactivechange trigger a timer which waits a couple tens of a second, then performs the count routine. However, this is not reliable. For instance, if I change the value of myfield clicking a checkbox bound to mytable.myfield, then issue SELECT COUNT(*) FROM mytable WHERE myfield the count is invariably off by one until after some period of time has passed, which may be as long as a second or so. All data is local, no network is involved. The table has about 5000 records. Anyone have a good solution? Tag: Help. Tag: 229569

    - MI5 Persecution: Dirk Gently on the Toronto Case Dirk was on the West Coast when he got the call. An old friend at the Toronto police department thought he would like to fly up and take a look at a homicide which had occurred the previous evening. He decided to skip the last day at the World Holistics conference and take the next plane out of San Francisco. The flight was bad; Dirk had been hit on the back of the head by the Newspaper trolley, the drinks trolley, the dinner trolley and now the gift trolley. When the hostesses weren?t trying to tear his arm off they pestered him to stop leaning into the aisle - ignoring the fact that the guy next to him was taking up one and a half seats. Air Canada used to be the flight which was so good you just didn?t wanna get off - on this occasion Dirk would be glad to see the back of the plane and the over sized alternative comedian wedged into the window seat. After breathing in a couple of lungfulls of crisp Canadian air Dirk took a taxi into town. There was a small group of demonstrators outside the MacDonalds and the taxi driver insisted on stopping on the opposite side of the street. ?Don?t Eat Meat? the placards read and the demonstrators chanted. A couple of policemen where stopping the crowd entering the restaurant itself - one held up his arm and challenged Dirk. A wave of the fax he had been sent and the policeman pushed open the door. There were few customers in the restaurant. Not surprising really with a demonstration going on outside, half the dining area roped off with tape and a dead body seated at one of the tables. ?Mr Gently sir? the officer in charge called out as he peeled one end of the tape off a column ?We were told not to touch anything til? you got here?. The body of the man slumped awkwardly in a chair. Then even a dead body would start getting uncomfortable in a MacDonalds chair after twenty minutes - and this one had been there for at least eighteen hours. Two back legs and the tail of a cat hung out of the man?s gaping mouth. Dirk turned to the officer, ?I suppose you are going to tell me this is the darndest thing you ever saw?? ?Ain?t this the darnd...?. The officer seemed annoyed that Dirk had second guessed him. ?We?re removing the body in a few minutes, so if you can get through as quick as possible? ?Many people eat cats in fast food restaurants?? Dirk asked and without waiting for an answer leant over the table to pick up an untouched burger. ?And what?s this?? he asked waving it in front of the officers face. ?It?s a Vedgie Burger? The waitress, who was cleaning one of the adjacent tables, shouted across. She walked over to Dirk. ?We started doing them because of that lot out there? she nodded towards the protesters who were pressing there faces against the windows ?They?re called Linda McCartney Vedgie burgers - ever heard of them?? Dirk suddenly felt faint, perhaps a combination of hunger and jet lag. ?This is deja vu all over again? he thought to himself. He glanced at policemen - at the badge on his shoulder ?OPD? but this wasn?t Ontario this was Toronto. OPD - Officially Pronounced Dead. It dawned on Dirk what was happening, he knew what he would see if he looked out of the window. Sure enough, there it was, the Volkswagen Beetle parked across the road - number plate 28IF - 28 IF Paul McCartney had lived. And amongst the lyrics of the song blaring out into the restaurant he could pick out the words ?I buried Paul?. Now it was though Dirk was viewing the whole scene though a TV screen. This was conspiracy. Not -a- conspiracy, or -the- conspiracy, but just plain conspiracy. ?You look faint - are you OK mister? The waitress asked. Dirk shook his head ?Probably a bit hungry? Then to economise on dialogue took out a pack of cigarettes and held it out towards the girl. She was about to take one but Dirk snatched the pack away, held it up to his mouth and drew out two cigarettes. He lit both then passed one of them to the girl. It was the closest he had come to a sexual encounter in three months. ?Want a Burger?? the waitress asked. Dirk looked down at the Vedgie Burger on the table. ?No thanks - just a plate of fries? The waitress walked away and Dirk looked around the room. Apart from a family seated in the far corner there was only one other person in the restaurant - and he wasn?t eating. The guy was about mid twenties and had straggling, shoulder length hair. On the table in front of him were lots of pieces of paper cut into squares. Every so often he would pick up a camcorder and pan it around the room and then, when he was finished, speak into a microphone which was attached to a tape recorder. Dirk walked over to where the man was sitting. The small pieces of paper had paragraphs of text written on them and were stuck to the top of table with blobs of mustard. Lines had been drawn, some solid some dotted, on the table top with a marker pen. The lines ran from one piece of paper to another. ?What are the lines for?? Dirk asked, realising straight away that ?What the hell are you doing?? would be more appropriate. ?You see? The man replied nervously ?The dotted lines are weak links and the solid lines are strong links. The dotted lines are things which are happening in the rest of the world and the solid lines are things which are happening to me. Now you see I draw over a dotted line, replacing it with a solid line, when I can link something back to me. Like this? The pen squeaked over the Formica and before Dirk could interrupt the man added. ?You see I lost my short term memory and, as a consequence have a very short attention span. I write down, record and film everything then put it all together later? ?So? Dirk interrupted. ?You filmed what happened here?? ?Yes, yes, it?s here on this tape? The man pushed the cassette across the table. On the label the words ?Grassy Knoll? had been crossed through and replaced with ?MacDonalds?. Suddenly the man sprung from his seat. Dirk turned and saw that the body was being removed on a stretcher. As it passed the man picked a small object off the edge of the stretcher itself. ?This is important? he said, laying a blood stained bullet on one of the small pieces of paper on the table. Suddenly the room was filled with a deafening throbbing sound as a Black Helicopter landed in the street outside. Two men in United Nations uniforms got out and collected the stretcher. Back at the table the long haired man was replacing all the dotted lines with solid ones. Dirk panicked and began to walk backwards at some speed. Barging through the swing doors he stumbled into the kitchen, tripped and felt himself sink slowly into a large vat. ?The guys fallen into the batter? Dick heard someone shout before he sunk below the surface. He came to sitting in a chair with the batter solidifying all over his body. He surveyed the room through two eye-holes someone had cut. Suddenly the chair on which he was sitting was picked up carried through the restaurant and out of the building. As the chair was being lifted and put into the back of a van, Dirk caught a glimpse of the waitress following him. ?Your fries mister, your plate o...?. The doors of the van shut and Dirk tried desperately to steady himself as it sped across town. Eventually the doors flew open and Dirk was flung into the road at which point the solidified batter shattered and set him free. Standing up he found himself outside the international departures terminal of Toronto airport. In the departure lounge Dirk had time to reflect on the day?s events. He had got caught up in the conspiracy theories and the haphazard welding together of pieces of irrelevant information. It was time to catch the person who was operating the bizarre cognitive engine which appeared in front of him like a fairground mirror, distorting any flaw it could find in his own, fragile, map of the real world. Dirk leant into the aisle of the plane as it took off for London. The oversized person next to him swung his arms violently as he complained about every thing from the supper in a plastic tray to the state of British politics. With a shaven head and a badly fitting suit the man looked as though he could have worked behind the reception desk of the Kremlin. However when he spoke he did so in a Liverpudlian accent. ?Me I blame the Con-serv-a-tive government, me. The Tour-rees. That-cher. Me. They need a good kicking? He jerked his feet forward and struck the seat in front with his Doc Martins. ?With these. Me Doc Martins. Doctor Martin?s, Doctor Martin?s, Doctor Martin?s Booots!? The phrase was now being sung over and over again as the man writhed in his seat and clicked his fingers. Dirk looked down at the boots and thought of the reaction most people used to deal with the paranoids at the end of the wire. A nice quick kick. ?Oi nutter - get some therapy?. This is the easy way out and perhaps the safest. After all there you are sat, alone, in front of the screen. No body language between you some paranoid. No way of telling if he really is some gibbering psycho. Look at it too long and you be drawn in. Fall into the tangled database of weird links with him. Who knows he may be watching you, reassembling and linking your experiences with his. How sure are you of you own cognitive threads. After all cognition is only a bug fix for a neurological system which was designed in a hurry - it?s abused by everyone from politicians to advertisers. If people really can convince each other that a bottle of washing up liquid is as exciting as an orgasm using just television God knows what they can do with a computer. Better to avoid the risk. A swift kick. After all if you?re Homophobic you put the boot in because you are scared of any ambiguity in your own sexuality - why not be Nutterphobic as well. Although Dirk would have liked to devoted time to tracking the culprit down he decided to let it rest. The Internet changed over the next twenty odd years. A lot of the people who used it went out and got lives. And those who already had lives burnt them away. The number of users had dwindled after someone had invented a C++ program, with truth as a variable, to deal handle politics and government. Dirk had already retired from finding old ladies cats with the help of obscure science when he got another call from Toronto. It was 4th March 2025 when he booked onto the Air Canada flight from Heathrow. The silver haired woman in the seat next to him painted bright red lipstick around her mouth. ?Of course it was no surprise to be offered the job after Claire Raynor retired? she sneered? After all I used to be a psychiatric nurse... Now if Blokes had periods they would understand...? By chance the taxi ride to Toronto mental hospital took him past the MacDonalds - where the whole thing had started. Of course it was barely recognisable having become a Church Of Scientology Vedgie Bar. Police in riot gear kept the two sets of demonstrators apart. Dirk didn?t really know what to expect when he got to the hospital. The girl at the reception desk directed him to a row of chairs in a wide well lit corridor. There was a strong smell of disinfectant, the furniture and the carpets were immaculately clean and behind the rows of teak veneer doors the ?nutters? were all safely locked away. For some reason Dirk started thinking about CompuServe forums. A tall blond woman in a white coat approached. ?Mr Gentle, I assume? ?Yes? Dirk replied shaking her by the hand. ?You?re the nurse who...? ?Doctor? She interrupted, ?Doctor Killfile? She led Dirk across the corridor towards one of the doors then stopped with her hand resting on the handle. ?Now you know about this person don?t you?? and after Dirk nodded she continued ?Don?t tell him anything about yourself - don?t let him get into you head. If he does he?ll screw it up? The door opened to reveal a frail man sitting in from of a TV screen. He had a keyboard on his lap and next to the television was a computer screen. Dirk glanced at the walls of the room and remembered that his settee at home need upholstering. The nurse left the room and the man looked up ?So you come to my daughters wedding and ask me to kill a man? he said in a dry cackling voice. ?Look? he continued, pointing at the screen, ?I know that man. They?re talking about me now - listen?. The man stared at Dirk. ?What?s your name? Are you one of my friends from the Internet? - Are the lambs still screaming Dirk?? Dirk, at first recoiled in horror, then felt a sense of anti climax. So this is what they hyped up to superstar status on the back of their own fears of madness. Dirk was reminded of the film ?A day on The Beach? where a submarine had set off to search a post nuclear World to track down a signal coming from a remote military base - only to find it was being sent by a Coke bottle half balanced on a Morse tapper. Outside the room the nurse waited for him. Because his nicotine craving had returned - and to avoid an awkward piece of dialogue - Dirk turned to her and asked . ?Patch?? Dirk took two nicotine patches from his wallet the first of which he stuck onto the inside of his arm. Stepping closer to Doctor Killfile he opened her white coat and slid his hand into the opening at the front of her dress. He pressed the patch onto her leg as close to the top of her inner thigh as he dare. She took a deep breath and then slowly breathed out. ?What Bogart could have done with these things? Dirk thought to himself. ?Is he crazy?? Dirk asked tilting his head back to towards the door. ?Who knows? Doctor Killfile replied ?We let him type away. He sees something on the TV in the morning and it keeps him busy all day. What he types doesn?t go anywhere it just stays on a mainframe in the basement. It can be read by anyone else in the building but that?s it. We got them all in here conspiracy theorists, racists, nationalists. They?ve created a world within a world really...? Her voice trailed away and she stared down the corridor for a while then added ?So long are two things are different neither will come to be in the other and so become at once both one and two.? Dirk gave her a puzzled look ?You mean their brains are fried?? ?Fried?? Killfile smiled at Dirk ?No that was Plato?. Then the smile fell from her face. ?You must remember, mister, plate o...? 732 Tag: Help. Tag: 229459

    - MI5 Persecution: Security Service Tribunal Denies Security Service Tribunal Denies In June 1997 the Security Service Tribunal wrote to me regarding the complaint I had brought against MI5 in February. They say, The Security Service Tribunal have now investigated your complaint and have asked me to inform you that no determination in your favour has been made on your complaint. Again, I do not believe their denials. I think MI5 *has* taken the action against me as described, and is refusing to admit what they have done. To the best of my knowledge, the Security Service Tribunal has *never* found in favour of a complainant. This tends to strongly suggest that MI5 lies on a routine basis, and the Tribunal can't fulfil its functions in the face of Security Service falsehoods. 732 Tag: Help. Tag: 229454

    - MI5 Persecution: Communications with Security Service Tribunal in 1999 Communications with Security Service Tribunal in 1999 I took some more potshots at the SS-Tribunal in the first half of 1999. The correspondence between myself and the Tribunal Secretary is detailed on this webpage. Ultimately I decided not to pursue another complaint with them, partly from Robin Ramsay's advice (and that of a solicitor I consulted), but mostly because it was rather obvious from Mr Brooks' replies that the Tribunal has no investigative means of its own and is that useless animal, a toothless watchdog. Included with this first letter was a copy of the leaflet, "Complaints about the Security Service". This tells you that the Tribunal can order "the service to end its inquiries about you; the service to destroy any records it holds about those inquiries; the quashing of a property warrant; financial compensation". Yeah, right. Look, there's a flying pig, oink-flap, oink-flap. My subsequent letter to Nick Brooks, Tribunal Secretary, dated 25 March 1999, said; Dear Mr Brooks, We spoke on the phone last week and you kindly sent a copy of the form, "Complaints about the Security Service". I have a few questions which I should like to ask you, before I undertake the task of making a formal complaint. As you know I made a complaint in February 1997, and in June of that year the tribunal made a bland and unsatisfactory statement that "no determination in your favour has been made on your complaint". During our phone conversation I expressed the view that the Tribunal was incapable of performing its functions and acts as a whitewashing body for the Security Service. My questions are as follows; (1) Has the Security Service Tribunal ever during its existence found in favour of a compaint against MI5? (2) Is the Tribunal able to disclose whether "no determination in your favour" is made because MI5 claims to have no inquiries on a subject, or whether it is made because MI5 admits to actions against a subject but claims justification? If disclosure is not possible for individual cases, then in 1997 for how many cases (out of what total) did MI5 claim justification? (3) Is the Tribunal able to investigate information such as British Airways passenger lists, given that these could conclusively prove MI5 involvement? Would the Tribunal be forced to rely on MI5 to carry out such investigations, or would it have some other means of investigating? It might look slightly ridiculous for the Tribunal to rely on MI5 to investigate their own misdeeds. When I made my previous complaint to the Tribunal in 1997 I gave very little information as to the nature of my complaint. This time I intend to give as complete information as possible; but before I do so, I would ask you to answer the questions above, to outline the "ground rules" for a Tribunal investigation and reporting of its results. Yours sincerely, Mr Brooks replied by sending me a photocopy of two pages from the 1997 Report of the Security Service Commissioner, as follows. The photocopied pages from the 1997 Report follow. In particular, the answers the report gives to my questions are; the Security Service Tribunal has NEVER found in favour of a complainant; see sections 29 and 31 of the scanned report. Nick Brooks has confirmed orally over the phone that he has no memory of the Tribunal ever finding in favour of a complainant. Secondly, the question of whether the Tribunal is able to disclose "no determination in your favour" is because MI5 claims to have no inquiries on a subject, or whether it's because MI5 admits to having inquiries but claims they are justified. The answer to this one is in section 24, which says the ambiguity is intentional; and the Tribunal will in no circumstances give an unambiguous answer of whether MI5 claims or disclaims inquiries on a subject. In section 27 of the report, SS Commissioner Lord Justice Stuart-Smith says the blanket denials "might lead some to speculate that members of the service are carrying out operations involving unlawful interference with property, such as the installation of eavesdropping equipment, without first obtaining a warrant from the Home Secretary." He goes on to try to deny this speculation. But we've heard from Peter Wright that this went on all the time in the 1960s. So why wouldn't it still be happening now? Of course it is. The Tribunal Secretary had avoided answering the question from my previous letter, of whether the Tribunal had any independent investigative capacity. So I asked him again. Dear Mr Brooks, Thank you for your letter dated 6 April enclosing an extract of the 1997 Report of the Security Service Commissioner. This answers two of the three questions asked in my letter of 25 March. The third question remains. In 1993 I travelled on a British Airways flight on which there also travelled four men, one of whom stared at me, laughed and said, "if he tries to run away we'll find him". I took this to mean that these were the men who had been pursuing me for some time in the UK. This leads me to ask again the last question in my previous letter; (3) Is the Tribunal able to investigate information such as British Airways passenger lists, given that these could conclusively prove MI5 involvement? Would the Tribunal be forced to rely on MI5 to carry out such investigations, or would it have some other means of investigating? It might look slightly ridiculous for the Tribunal to rely on MI5 to investigate their own misdeeds. I would very much hope that some means is available to the Tribunal and Commissioner to investigate possible MI5 malefaction, other than relying on MI5 themselves. When I receive an answer to this question from you, I will work to put together a more comprehensive and detailed complaint for the Tribunal's consideration. Yours sincerely, Brooks' reply was; Brooks doesn't want to give a direct reply to the question, since that would place him in a bad light. So he gives an indirect answer; the tribunal, he avoids saying, has no investigative capacity; there is no mention even of any investigative capacity provided by MI5 themselves; nobody can investigate anything, all the Tribunal can do is ask MI5, and they, in their "Alice in Wonderland" world, can redefine the truth as it pleases them, and dissemble, and lie. Before deciding not to put another formal complaint before the Tribunal, I asked Robin Ramsay, editor of Lobster magazine, what he thought of the idea of making a complaint to the Tribunal. He replied; RESPONSE Yes it is a waste of time. They will do nothing. In a further email he elaborated; As for quoting me on the Security Service Tribunal - if you think my comments would mean anything, feel free. The problem people have is this: they almost have to go through the motions of going to the Tribunal for if they don't they will always be asked, 'Why didn't you go the proper authorities?' (This is one of the chief functions of 'the proper authorities'.) Robin Ramsay So the sum of the various parts of this story is; DON'T GO TO THE TRIBUNAL. If you do, then MI5 will open a file on you (if you don't have one already). Don't do as I did, do as I say. If you feel a really deep-seated urge to complain, do so first under an invented name, which will make you understand just how useless the Tribunal is, how little information they provide, and how unpleasant it is to know that you have given MI5 a reason to officially open a file on you in their Registry. 732 Tag: Help.

    - MI5 Persecution: Eye Say, and Lord Gnome Answers Eye Say, and Lord Gnome Answers My interactions with Private Eye started in May 1995, shortly after I'd started bleating on usenet. I tried to get the Eye interested in my case, as I thought they more than anyone have their finger on the pulse, and would surely already know something about my case. In my first email to them, entitled "pas de bouteille?" (wot no bottle?), I asked if they had the nerve to publish what was known to many thousands of people. Their email flunky answered; Date: Thu, 11 May 95 13:40 BST-1 From: strobes@cix.compulink.co.uk (Private Eye) Subject: Re: pas de bouteille?

Thanks for the email. Unfortunately, I can't say whether or not the Eye will do anything with this... I'm only the messenger. As the only computer-literate peron in the Gnome organisation, I get to read all the email and then pass it on to the Editor. Sorry -- not very helpful, I know. Steve Mann (strobes) The following year I gave PE another little prod, which yielded the following; Date: Tue, 13 Feb 96 11:38 GMT From: strobes@cix.compulink.co.uk (Private Eye Magazine) Subject: Re: Previous communication In-Reply-To: <199602102320.SAA26182@[snip]> Sorry not to reply sooner... we've been swamped with email and I have very little time to answer it. However, the editor sees all the email received here and I'm afraid he hasn't expressed an interest in your story so I can only assume that he feels it isn't for us. Sorry. strobes Given that I couldn't provide the evidence to persuade the Eye of the credibility of my claims, I did the next best thing, which was to take out classified adverts in their "Eye Say" and "Eye Tech" columns. My motivation for doing so is obvious; the Eye is read both by many thousands of ordinary folk, but also makes its way into the homes and consciousness of the UK's political and media elite. It is also a known favourite with "Five". What better way of taking the fight to the enemy? The first small ad appeared on 10 Jan 1997 in issue 915 in "Eye Say". It ran in that column on 24/1/97 and 7/2/97. On 21/2/97 it ran in "Eye Tech", and on 7/3/97 and 21/3/97 again in "Eye Say". I then changed the ad's wording to read "BBC Newsreaders Conspiracy", and the new wording ran in "Eye Say" from 4/4/97 issue 921, 18/4/97 to 2/5/97. The word "xenophobic" in the first advert had been intended to convey the sense of exclusion through the bigotry of my enemies, both on the basis of race and mental condition, but it seemed a bit too non-specific. "BBC Newscasters Conspiracy" was a little more immediate, although readers had to actually wade through the website to find out what it was that the newscasters were conspiring to do. My next effort tried to spice up the text. "MI5/BBC Conspiracy" ran for six issues in "Eye Say", from 5/9/97 issue 931 until 31/10/97. I suppose there is something a little sad about somebody who knows he has mental illness, placing adverts about a conspiracy in which MI5's watchers enable BBC newscasters to personally and directly communicate with him while reading the news. It is pretty sad, but unfortunately it is also true, both in the objective reality we all inhabit, as well as in my own mind. There followed a hiatus of about a year until I resumed advertising on 2 October 1998. I paid over £200 for six months advertising of the new improved text "MI5 Persecution, BBC Newscasters Spying on my Home". This text ran from issue 960 until issue 972 (19 March 1999) in "Eye Say". Private Eye's editor Ian Hislop denies knowing anything about my case, as the following email illustrates. Date: Tue, 3 Nov 1998 14:10 +0000 (GMT Standard Time) From: strobes@private-eye.co.uk (Private Eye) Subject: Re: PLEASE ANSWER - THANK YOU CC: strobes@private-eye.co.uk Reply-To: strobes@private-eye.co.uk Sorry to take so long to answer.

    - 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. 732 Tag: Help. Tag: 229330
