In 1991 I wrote a political satire entitled "In the Year 2252" (P. Barber, pseudonym). Copies were circulated prematurely by a Chicago literary agent. As a result, many publishers, editors and writers accessed copies.

Before a second draft was prepared it was clear covert censorship would prevent any possibility of publication... I was already under 24 hour a day surveillance and was fielding feedback from corrupt sections of the entertainment industry; especially the media.

The reasons for their objections are many. The book was critical of many things which criminals in high places use to get what they want (and control others). Corruption, drugs, war, media deception, and all manner of immorality were openly attacked in the novel. I also lobbied on privacy laws. The personal repercussions are outlined below. (What the media did is highlighted under "Feedback")

While reading this account please keep in mind the wide reaching influence of covert agencies and organised crime throughout our community. A few "well placed" people in each area can create havoc for those being silenced. Others working with these criminals are too selfish, scared or apathetic to intervene.

Who Knows?

The following people know who is involved:

• John Howard (Australian Liberal Prime Minister). Three people (incl. a senior Federal Police executive and an ex agency member) informed me that the Prime Minister "is aware of" the situation but that "his hands are tied". Early in 1996 he did, in fact, ask the AFP to investigate the surveillance but they were unable to (efficiently) for "legal reasons". Although I was told it was because the matter was "politically sensitive".

  NB: If the media could "tune in" so could the AFP. They couldn't help because of who is involved.

• Ros Chilvers (Ex agency / private investigator) - She spoke with Paul Keating when he was Labor Prime Minister and told me he was actually part of the vendetta against me.

• Warren College (Federal Cabinet Secretary's Office) - He spoke with current PM, John Howard, who said the situation was "too awkward" (for him to intervene). It's "awkward" because Federal Labor politicians, agency officials and the media ARE involved as are their counterparts in the US. It is, in fact, a criminal conspiracy of silence.

• Steve Duffield (Ex Sen. Alston's office) - He knew and tried to help. Within a week he was gone and cannot be found.

• Ms J. Bonner (Ex J. Howard's office) - Knew but now refuses to discuss it; even with liberal staffers.

• Matt Francis (Sen. Newman's office) - Said many working in politics knew I was monitored/harassed because of the book, adding it had " opened his eyes" to realise the full extent of what actually goes on (i.e. political crimes).

• Mick Roberts (Ex AFP) - On his retirement he told me that he'd always believed me totally but there was a wall of secrecy which he couldn't break through. No one would talk and it all "smells of journalists and politicians" he said.

• Nelson Chad (Investigator/Ex policeman) - Channel 9 journalists (in particular Ray Martin and others working on "A Current Affair") were involved. This was even confirmed by one ACP director, Mr. G. Cubbin.

  Note: Channel 9 owner, Kerry Packer is not the only media magnate who wants me silenced. No media player would want the general public becoming fully aware of the invasions of privacy and crimes which journalists and agency officials commit. Remember, I lobbied heavily on privacy laws for years with John Howard himself supporting my views, in writing.

1. PROMOS - eg: Kerry Packer's ACP Director, Mr Graeme Cubbin, admitted that the "I AM CHANNEL 9" promo was in fact aimed AT me. Many of the on air presenters working at 9 featured in that ad; I believe most knew what they were doing.

2. PHRASES - eg: Just before "A Current Affair" ended on Channel 9 for 1992, then presenter Jana Wendt was quoted in a magazine as saying: "I guess I'll go to my grave not being able to think past the end of my nose", a comment I made (knowing it would be overheard) just prior to that interview (not exactly a common saying). And it was not the only reference in the article. Coincidences? Imagine such coincidences happening a dozen times a day - for years - and you'll appreciate why this "parroting" is so useful to them. It's extremely oppressive.

3. DIRECT FEEDBACK - eg: On at least two memorable occasions I responded to "live" taunts by Channel 9 employees only to have the entire transmission cut completely and immediately.

4. OTHER "COINCIDENCES" - eg: ACA, Ch.9 presenter, Ray Martin, ran an item on politicians who don't answer correspondence. They suggested viewers use a company called Voterlobby.

   The link is that I'd just contacted the Prime Minister's chief of staff about my many (and various) unanswered letters to Mr Howard and his Cabinet AND had used Voterlobby to question MPs on the need for enforceable privacy laws. (Prior to being elected in March 1996 Mr Howard had been supportive of my views)

Meetings (Jan 97)

Eg. 1 Mike Minehan (Ex Ch.9, ACA, UTS)
A security guard tried to prevent our appointment taking place; under instructions from an "unknown" outside caller. Similarly, Minehan was interrupted constantly by phone calls. On the last call he slammed the phone down exclaiming: "They're telling me to get out. Now!" However he had already told me that my situation was "not uncommon". He suggested I see Jana Wendt. He seemed genuinely worried.

Eg. 2 Jana Wendt (Ex Ch.9, ACA, Ch.7 etc)
She was dismissed from Ch.7 just before our appointment so I visited her family home instead. She said her secretary would make another appointment but warned me that TV execs control things. (Stephen Rice was her boss at Ch.9 then Ch.7).
Eastwood police later harrassed me, at the request of their "friends" at Ch.7. They refused to speak to Wendt personally. I was told not to make any appointment and was taken to a psychiatric hospital as a "warning". Before I was assessed and released (by a bemused psychiatrist who saw no reason for my being there at all) "knowledgeable" staff told me that at least six others who sought assistance from Wendt had also been sent there. "This is what you get for crossing them "said one senior nurse. (They knew yet co-operated). Since this worrying episode I have learnt much about the role of mainstream media identities from agency officials, on-air targets etc. Little wonder suppression and oppression are rife in this country (and many other western "democracies"). The media mafia has far too much power.

Eg. 3 Kerry Packer (media magnate, ACP etc)
While I waited at reception Mr Packer and his son exited the car park and took the lift; James Packer looking back at me before disappearing into the elevator. Six goons then surrounded me, the leader claiming I'd been up to Packer's 3rd floor office six times. (I wasn't even sure Packer would be there. Also, this was my only visit and I was on the ground floor). When I scoffed, asking for proof of this lie, he said "Oh just get out anyway". I did. I wasn't going to give them an excuse to set something up.

N.B. Because of these experiences no further attempts have been made to resolve this situation face to face. Employees of media magnates, Singleton, Packer and Murdoch are all involved in my situation. Some, I'm told, are also involved heavily in the drug trade (hence the mafia / C.I.A links, and the technology access). It's also worth noting that in 1990-91, when this all started, all three media bosses were staunchly behind the Australian Labor Party; the central source of the problem.

Comment

Religious Persecution

Although I am of the Catholic faith, and was subtly ridiculed for that, the Catholic Church (which is closely aligned with the Australian Labor Party, which fostered the situation) has also harassed me using the results of the surveillance.

While some priests were sympathetic (one even admitting he'd heard about the "banned" book), others did as the church hierarchy instructed. The links between the church, the Labor party and overseas crime figures are well known. There may have been some "pressure" applied.

Note:
It is interesting that one of the guilty priests, an ex bikie named Kevin Lee, was chosen as a contestant on the Pentridge Jail Challenge run by A. Denton, Radio 2mmm, Nov 2001. Apparently he won. Odd coincidences like this were common in the early 90s. (I wonder who else he harrassed).

Neurophone/Aural Harassment

Since September 1996, I've been receiving constant/clear threats and propaganda from an unknown agency/criminal source; probably the CIA.

This method of "torture" (which seems to be known to many political/media entities) is usually delivered courtesy of a satellite which tracks you, personally. A laser directs live talk, noise and computer-generated music at the body. It travels the nervous system as electrical impulses and registers in the brain; bypassing normal hearing mechanisms. Only the target hears it.

Prominent journalists and senior federal police say it's "not uncommon" and I know there are thousands of political victims in the USA and hundreds here.

The motives for this form of oppression seem to go beyond providing an "annoyance". The hope "seems" to be that the victim will be discredited if they react badly to the verbal taunts OR approach the wrong people for assistance. For example, media "mafia" personnel, politically naïve medicos or ignorant police could make matters worse. In the US, where the authorities refuse to concede their own government encourages such activities, the complainants are often committed.

Meanwhile, senior federal police, some political aides and human rights activists are the most supportive here. Many are honest enough to admit they know which technologies big brother agencies and criminals can access. However practical help cannot be offered.

Experimentation - Brain wave Monitoring

Also since September 1996, I've been humiliated as a target of an experimental technology (again, satellite based) which allows the magnetic field around your head to be monitored. This powerful scanning and tracking system delivers the results to an unknown (probably US) facility with an advanced computer system capable of interpreting the brain wave patterns it receives; instantaneously.

The aural feedback then makes for a means of remote interrogation and/or psychological torture. Combined with audio/visual surveillance the overall situation is like being in an electronic POW camp. One senior AFP executive said this may continue for many years and they are powerless to stop it.

The human rights abuses I'm experiencing are considerable. However, what concerns me most is that ostensibly democratic governments can allow the development and "use" of such evil technologies to stifle free speech.

Conclusion

Many public figures betray us by their silence on these matters. Many politicians/journalists are actively oppressing others themselves; by stealth. And you won't read about it because the media are themselves part of the problem.

Finally, it may be worth noting the comments of a senior investigator from NASA's Inspector General's office. Having conceded the existence of the technologies mentioned in these pages AND commenting on the evil uses made of such anti-personnel weaponry he advised: "I suggest you pray".
