Subject: MI5 Persecution: Victor Lewis-Smith 9/5/97 (16423)
Victor Lewis-Smith has broken the silence in his TV review column "Goon and
best forgotten" in the Evening Standard (on Thursday 8/May). He said, "If I
sound paranoid, that's probably because I once worked there. Eventually, I had
to leave because they were all trying to kill me but, for sheer pathological
hatred of the Corporation, I couldn't hold a candle to Spike Milligan".

I take this to be about me, because recently I wrote to both the BBC and
Capital Radio, saying "I believe the current purpose of the harassment is to
force me to kill myself to prevent the harassers, yourselves included, from
being brought to justice, and last year there were several incidents of people
shouting 'suicide' at me, which would appear to corroborate that view." I think
VLS's words about the BBC "all trying to kill me" shows he has seen or heard of
what I sent to the BBC or Capital.

Nasty eh? I believe that VLS or his mates read this newsgroup. I wonder how he
would explain his article?

Dear Mike,

Victor's not writing about you.

Yours,

For some reason, I don't quite believe you. It's just too close a match.

Erm, Mike, I'm a bit of a fan of Victor Lewis-Smith, ever since his days
of "BuyGones". I must admit, he often likes to play the flawed lunatic
evil nasty person. He's been doing it for years, with prank calls, far
before your illness. Its his act. He wouldn't be VLS without it.

He doesn't like the "Goons" either. It isn't about you.

I don't think Victor Lewis-Smith has worked for the BBC (or Capital) for
several years (1994 was the last time...), so the connection, is paranoia
here.

Personally, I believe VLS as a person of reasonable integrity, who wouldn't
give a fuck about you...

Keep up the medication, not as many people read this newsgroup as you think,
even though you are now incorporating that into your illness.

Victor? Are you there?

Would you be kind enough to cite at least a few of those laws so that I
may look them up and read them? As a citizen scientist I use the
Système Internationale (or, as you call it, the /metric/ /system/ )
rather extensively. I was unaware that I might be violating the law in
doing so. In Bush's America a person practicing internationalism could
become the subject of extraordinary rendition and I would certainly
like to avoid that.

Metric measures were officially adopted in the USA in 1866.

The USA was a member of the International Meter Convention in 1870s.

American Customary Units were defined in terms of metric units in the
1890s.

You're safe.

There are those who believe that life here, began out there, far across the
universe, with tribes of humans, who may have been the forefathers of the
Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans. Some believe that they may yet be
brothers of man, who even now fight to survive, somewhere beyond the
heavens.
