You may ask, why do I think the "they" referred to. are the security
services? Is there any evidence that there is a. single source, as opposed
to a loosely based "whispering campaign" amongst many people? Even. if there
is a single source, is there any evidence. that "they" are professional
"buggers" as opposed to amateurs, or perhaps people working. for a privately
funded. organization?
a) As. to the question of a single source versus something more fragmented;
it is quite obvious that there is a single. source from the way the campaign
has been carried out. Since things have been. repeated verbatim which were
said in my home, there must be one. group which does the watching and
listening. Since on several. occasions (mainly during travel) people have
been planted in close proximity. and rehearsed in what they were to say, it
follows that someone must have done the planning for that, and again. a
single source is. indicated.
b) So why couldn't it be amateurs? Why couldn't it. be a private
organisation,. for example a private detective agency paid to manage the
campaign and undertake the technical. aspects? Some detective agencies are
unscrupulous as has been proved on the occasions in. the past when they've
been exposed or caught; they too can have access to. the bugging technology
deployed; and there are reported cases of MI5 paying private eyes. to do
their dirty work (against peace campaigners and similar enemies of. the
state) on the understanding that if they were caught. then they could deny
all knowledge. Why couldn't. that be the case?
The. main factor pointing to direct security service involvement (as opposed
to amateurs. or MI5 proxies) is the breadth of their access to the media in
particular, and the fact that the television companies are. so involved in
the campaign. The BBC would not directly invade someone's home. themselves,
since it would not be within their remit to allocate personnel. or financial
resources to do. so. An organisation of their stature would not take part in
a campaign set up by. private sources. The only people they would take
material from would be the security services, presumably. on the assumption
that if the cat ever flew out. of the bag yowling it would be MI5 who would
take the. consequences.
State sponsorship. for these acts of psychological terrorism is also
indicated by. duration; support for over six years for a team of three or
four people would be beyond the means and will of most. private sources.
The viciousness of the slanders and personal denigration also points. to
MI5; they traditionally. "protect" the British state from politicians of the
wrong hue. by character assassination, and in this case are using their
tried and tested. methods to murder with words an enemy they have invented
for. themselves.
And there are precedents. Diana. and Hewitt were alleged to have been filmed
"at it" by an Army intelligence team which had operated in. Northern
Ireland, these allegations were made. by someone called Jones who had been
on the team.. His statements were denied by the defence establishment who
tried to character-assassinate by describing him as the. "Jones twins".
Funny how if you. tell the truth, then you must be ill, isn't it? Thought
only communists behaved. like that?
Hewitt later said that he'd been spoken to by someone. in the army who
revealed. the existence of videotapes of him and Diana, and that the tapes
would be. published if any attempt was made by them to resume their
association.

"At Canton, February 18th, 1894, we met and conversed with a
missionary lady who had just come from a station in the interior.
She had travelled from her station on a Chinese boat, which had
been chartered by her adopted son for his use going up, and for
hers coming down the river. When she was about to embark, she
required that the men should search the boat, and down below, in
the very bottom, were a lot of little girls--_child slaves_--being
smuggled to Canton for the trade of a vile life. She made the men
take the children off the boat, but with great difficulty. They
resisted, but she stood courageously, and saw her commands
executed. After she had accomplished this, and started down the
river, all alone, so far as any English-speaking person was
concerned, the men, who were still deeply enraged at being
defeated in their plans, greatly annoyed her by intruding on her
constantly, and finally they threatened to kill her; but she
presented as brave a front as possible, and at last took hold
of one man who was especially insolent, by the shoulder, in an
authoritative manner, bidding him to go out of her presence. He
went away cowed, and they all said, as was reported to her by one
of her attendants, 'She is not afraid'; they then became very
superstitious at the idea of a woman taking hold of them, and
troubled her no more.
"The five or six Christian friends where we were staying in Canton
all agreed that it was the most common occurrence for little girls
to be bought and sold for immoral purposes. One of the group
has often heard the wretched blind girls singing just under her
