      Really, that's what the world needs, more women like this? I think we need less women like this. As in women who would never even consider joining the CIA, or the MI6, or whatever they call it in England. Not ones who join, because they're so personally ambitious that being in the state dept. isn't good enough, and they get talked into something even juicer. And then eventually what's left of their soul can't take it any longer, and so they turn state's evidence.
      So I would say that's not what the world is craving right about now. I guess it's better than nothing.

      Both Botmeh and Alami admitted having had possession of five pounds of explosives which were used to make the bombs. Alami said she had had three hand guns and the explosives and guns were found in a lock-up she rented. But the pair denied they had intended to use the materials for explosions in Britain.

      It is strange, isn't it? It's not hard to work out that making sure people can only get drugs from criminals means that drug use funds terrorism.
      Then there are all of the social, health and tax benefits of taking a public health perspective when it comes to drugs, rather than crime perspective.
      It seems the only thing keeping us from decriminalising or even legalising drugs (and therefore achieving all of the related benefits) is people's irrational fears and unwillingness to be open.

      @@bfc3057 when Shayler signed up with the MI5, I doubted that he was provided an independent legal advise. If they joined the government agency when they were young, they might not fully understand the liabilities awaited. They thought they served for the purpose of the Public interest. It turned out it was not the public interest but the government interest at the time. Shayler was hunted down by the provision of public interest. We all know as of today, these two can be divorced, i.e., the public interest (the voter's interest) and the government. Both of them served for the government, not necessary for the public interest. when Shayler was convicted for disclosure of confidential information for the reasons of a draconian contract he signed without an independent legal advice at the first place. He should be pardoned after disciplined, giving if there was no actual damages to the public interest not the government. Overall, this example should discourage young, naive university students or graduates without working experience to join the government machinery. The machinery crushes private citizen as a cockroach. I still believe public interest and government interest are not necessarily the same thing.

I had been talking about how girls were being abused at the Home Office and how Immigration were corrupt. Mi5 , the IPT, Police , MP's all knew about this before I did the video's and they weren't of much help. I totally understand where she is coming from and in my experience, no one wants to know. I didn't want to know what I was told, but I think it's in the Public interest to know that you can be watched , manipulated and caused to be dangerous to yourself or others by the Home Office and Mi5.

      If you are going to be a whistle blower, your story MUST somehow make it clear that what happened was a systemic failure, not a one-off slip-up. The establishment will always claim it was the latter and make it look like you caused a great deal of trouble over one small slip-up. It is extremely difficult to counter that narrative especially when you are the small guy and your opponents have all the power and all the connections.

    Several years ago, I was about to join the Royal Marines, when I was approached by an individual dressed in a naval officers uniform, with no rank insignia, no medals etc. He wasn't navy though, he saluted in the 'palm outward' style used by the Army, Marines & Airforce not the ''Palm down' of the navy. He had Laurel leaves on his cap, which meant he was too senior an officer to be interviewing candidates. He chatted informally, mentioned a few things that let me know he knew exactly who I was... and then asked me about a friend (who was also in the process of joining the Marines) and if he'd shown any political leanings (I answered honestly - 'no') and 'if a place in the same troop could be guaranteed' would I be prepared to report back on him? I politely declined and ended any military career.
    I mentioned this to someone I trusted who was 'in the know', and they said he was certainly the same character that had approached him in the preceding weeks. The trusted confidante told me he was certainly intelligence and that if I'd have done it, I'd have been military intelligences 'bitch' for life. Or if I'd have continued with pursuing my military career after refusing, it probably would have stalled my career (if I'd have been allowed in) and I'd have found myself being refused all promotion and training courses.

      Ironically it's really the other way around.
      Think about it logically, a minor mistake in what was otherwise a successful assassination plot leads to the wrong car getting blown up, and some civilians dying. Not great, but let's not pretend assassinating world leaders is easy, even in Libya, they have protection, the fact it went ahead at all is impressive as the people who "walked in" could potentially have just taken the cash and run away...
      Now that isn't great but it isn't massively terrible either, you're implying the stuff we don't hear about is much worse, affecting many thousands across the UK every week levels of bad, BUT if a couple people getting killed in Libya was enough to cause these people to turn whistleblower then you really think NOBODY else in MI5 would for something many times worse? That doesn't stand to reason at all, everyone who works there is a human being, sure a disproportionately high number will be psychopaths but not all of them.
      When MI5 does something genuinely unequivocally "good", really well and stops a major terrorist attack, we naturally don't hear about it. They don't shout every success because it would make the next success less likely, the stuff we DON'T hear about is more likely fine.

    imagine that, 14 years per charge for whistleblowing, it'd make sense if you were just leaking sensitive information vital to the countries security but when you're just blowing the whistle on underhanded things and criminal charges this seems preposterous

      @@Celinamars666 It's easier to convict because they had signed the Official Secrets Act, basically a statement/contract that you won't leak info, and that you know the consequences if you do beforehand. I'm not disagreeing with you though.

    Bless you Annie and David, whilst you may not have done anything to the MI5 MI6 machine ,which we do need , you have helped educate the perspectives of many Joe Bloggs. Thank you for your support in the 911 truth movement all those years ago. I remember sitting on a train into Plymouth when the story of David saying he was a messiah hit the newspapers, always wondered how true it was and later his alleged dressing up.
