As a 20-year victim of corporate terrorism and psychological torture I would recommend your report to anybody who is interested in democracy. So much of it parallels my own experience. Indeed this January I spoke on this subject at McMaster University to The 30th World Congress on Economic Crime Prevention and I want to thank you for placing my research paper on the internet. Your comments on the failure of so-called human rights organizations and the press are illuminating as I have experienced exactly the same failures myself. In 2005 I went to The Guardian in Manchester, UK and met with their Northern Correspondent. I showed him correspondence from Cabinet Minister Hazel Blears (then responsible for MI5 and Special Branch) that proves that my complaints are being covered-up. He was appalled and told me that he would recommend to his Editor that an investigative journalist be put on the case. The Editor turned him down. On the way back from The Guardian’s Office my wife and I were intimidated. A week later my eldest son (then in Birmingham, UK) received a series of very nasty telephone death threats, which he recorded. 24 hours later they smashed a vehicle into my house in Manchester. Meanwhile my documentation had disappeared from The Guardian’s secure office. A year later I filed copies of this same documentation with a Court in Manchester, and it disappeared again. Your comments on MI5, CSIS ability to control mail, email and telephone were also illuminating, as I have experienced this too. I have successfully had my case put directly before former PM Blair in the UK, and PM Harper in Canada and it is becoming quite clear that the politicians are scared of the high establishment and scared of their own intelligence services.
