I'm going to use this journal to describe the daily activity of being a surveillance target while noting what I am doing and commenting on the past seven plus years of surveillance escalation. I am not concerned whether anyone agrees or disagrees with what is actually happening. The surveillance technology I experience is a fact and has been long verified by me as valid however it might strike anyone. This is the world we all live in at present and the direction in which we are being taken whether we like it or not. The point of this journal is to help bring about the democratic recognition, control and management of such surveillance technology before it is too late. Today's Independent on Sunday in London published an article about MI5's bugging Members of Parliament deviating from a decades old pledge that this will not be done.

MI5 will get new powers to bug MPs
By Francis Elliott, Whitehall Editor
Furious cabinet revolt as Blair gives green light for security services to spy on elected representatives. Tony Blair is preparing to scrap a 40-year ban on tapping MPs' telephones, despite fierce Cabinet opposition, The Independent on Sunday can reveal.
Here's my Email to its News Editor (John Reid noted below is the UK's Secretary of State for Defence): ---------- Forwarded Message ----------Subject: MI5 will get new powers to bug MPsDate: Sunday 15 January 2006 15:19From: Gary D ChanceTo: newseditor@independent.co.uk"Reid demanded to know why on earth we were going down this route," said one government colleague. "It was all the more surprising since you would have thought the MoD is one of the departments most in favour of increased surveillance powers."
http://news.independent.co.uk/uk/politics/article338691.eceWhat a surprise! But, who is surprised? Certainly not any one who has been reading and paying attention to what I've been communicating for years. Step after step leads to the situation which I've been experiencing for many years as a [non consenting] human guinea pig to develop totally invasive surveillance technology of the worst kind. I've even sent Emails to 90% of the last Parliament about it. No one wants to believe it and especially media like yourselves do not want to publish it. It will be too late soon. Is John Reid waking up just now? We've been going down this route for years in ways that no one can even begin to comprehend. *****End of Email*****I will be discussing this "incomprehensible" surveillance technology and related topics.
