TV for Xmas InterferenceNot long before Xmas my TV (purchased during the summer) started to play up with the image failing on the bottom of the screen. The first week of the holidays it starting making crackling noises. I put the box out in the shed in anticipation of bringing the TV in for repair. I went to the shop where it was purchased and they told me I could get a refund under warrantee and did I have the original box? I said I did and would bring the TV in the next day.When I returned home the box was gone from the shed. The next day I brought the TV in and after some discussion it was accepted as I had all the documentation. When I got back to the car my rear mirror visor had been adjusted so I could not see out the back. All of which is to emphasise that the damage to my TV was deliberate IMHO.A while back I reported how my car remote key had disappeared and then reappeared some days later. I believe it has been cloned.Given this has happened just days after my last post I am made aware how nothing is going to change and those responsible act without fear. It is also clear to me reporting this to the Gardai is pointless and why these incidents continue relentlessly. Incidents at Xmas time are a regular occurrence with this year my cat dying under suspicious circumstances and a leak on my premises, among other things. ... See MoreSee Less

Lucy 5 Dec 2022 44:26Corruption in An Garda Siochana by Albert ByrneFirstly, I would like to wish everyone a happy holiday season and the very best in the year ahead.I am making this video in order to bring to the public’s attention, the ongoing intimidation and torture I am experiencing, since I began speaking out against corruption locally and nationally, with detailed statements on the bank bailout to the President, outlining how patently obvious it was we were being misled by the government, and how we were about to be inundated with debt, along with a published letter in the Sunday Business Post, to the unusual and highly suspicious events at the LCC council elections in 2009, which I reported to the Gardai asking them to investigate for election rigging, among other things. The risk to my life and liberty has been brought home to me recently when my white van was followed on a journey into Dublin by another white van that parked on the side of the Ashbourne road as I filled up, and took photos of me as I exited the station and continued to follow me into Dublin. In addition, my cat recently died under very suspicious circumstances just 3 weeks before Xmas while I was away on a 2 day trip. As I write a 4th major leak has occurred on the property which resulted from a connection to the radiator being loosened, and required a number of turns to tighten back up. This is in keeping with attacks which occurred at the same time last year. Please refer to my earlier video post on my Facebook page for further background information on what is taking place.These events have been ongoing since I first stood for election in 2009 on a platform of reform and transparency in the wake of the economic crash (with a view to a united federal republic), and have intensified over the past 4 years. They began in 2009 with my house telephone becoming inaudible due to a wire that was placed across the telephone wires in the telephone socket at my door, to items disappearing from my house. I had a telephone engineer in my home to fix the problem, as well as a garda to report a theft. They have continued to this day 13 years later. Clearly this is not the work of one individual on a mission, but the work of an organisation with the resources to dedicate continuous time and effort without falter. No one person would dedicate so much of their time continuously for 13 years. Based on my experience and various events which have occurred, I have concluded the digital attacks are being carried out by an organisation empowered to monitor all internet and mobile phone usage, with the ability to manipulate data which is being communicated across the net, should they choose to do so, both here in Ireland and in the European Union. They are also empowered to eavesdrop on mobile phone communications, interfere with email and social media such as Facebook, Messenger, bypass house alarms, interfere in banking transactions via disruption to web traffic, disrupt postal services and financial affairs and, essentially wreak havoc in any area of our lives should they choose to do so. To illustrate why I believe this to be so I will give one simple example. At the time I was experiencing significant interference on my iPhone and Chromebook I also experienced the same issues on trips to Spain. This is all documented and sent to An Garda Siochana. More recently, Over the past 2 years I was unable to use my iPad in Ireland as part of an ongoing campaign of interference. After reinstalling the OS several times It would work temporarily but quickly my apps would be blocked again. It was also blocked when using it on other broadband networks in my hometown. As an experiment I took it on a recent 5 day trip to Norway which is outside the EU. I had none of those problems. This led me to believe once a device is identified by its digital signature anywhere on the net, both in Ireland and the EU, it can be tapped into and manipulated. Norway is not a member of Europol.In addition, in tandem with local criminal elements in the community, an individual can be terrorised and threatened, if they pose a threat to the status quo. This includes death threats and If all else fails, attempts at seduction into illegal activity, in an attempt to entrap or compromise the individual. Those involved have done all in their power to prevent me from investigating or uncovering the perpetrators of these acts. They have been involved in seeking to drive me out of my home, to prevent me from living in the community of my birth or, to enter public life, and among other things actively worked in 2018 to prevent me from purchasing my family home after my mother’s passing. In earlier reports I documented how these incidents began in force on Sunday 27th Dec 2018, when a group of men (who put me in mind of plain clothes law enforcement I have been in contact with), spoke to me. They made it clear to me in an theatrical way that they had an interest in me, and one which I later realised was cynical and denigrating. They obviously wanted me to know it was they who were behind the coming storm. The following day a grey Ford Mondeo car was rammed at my gate, and when I gave the registration number to the Garda on call in Drogheda, his temperament changed as he demanded to know who I was, as if I were some kind of criminal trying to wind him up.Recently I made a report to my local garda station relating to interference in my business, my computers, my mobile phone devices and the recent death of my cat 3 weeks before Xmas, under very suspicious circumstances, which left me quite unnerved and upset. My complaint did not include the most recent water leak due to an unscrewed pipe which happened about a week later. I kept my complaint as simple as possible and requested that pulse id’s be issued which they were. Since my last report in August 21 which covered hundreds of incidents over the previous 3 years including one sit down face to face death threat, vandalism to my property including 3 major water leaks, one of which required a ceiling to be replaced, building paint defacement, mobile phone interference, digital and financial interference etc, etc, according to a freedom of information request made to An Gardai Siochana there have been no incidents logged, apart from a stolen piece of property for insurance purposes which was a formality, or investigations carried out whatsoever, despite ongoing garda communications and interview and promises to investigate after supplying supplemental information. In the meantime, there has been a change of guard, and those related to my earlier attempts at resolution appear to have left the station. On this occasion the response I got from the garda on duty after consultation with his local sergeant was: it is not possible to investigate the digital incidents without taking your computer away and with the backlog, it could take 2 to 5 years before you get your computer back. Given that the incidents are happening over the internet and mobile phone communications, this response makes no sense. It seems the ordinary citizen can have their broadband and mobile communications monitored and interfered with, and there is no agency in the state that they can turn to for help. I have since reported the 4th leak and have come away with the realisation there is very little an Garda Siochana can, or will do for me, as their response is simply to look for fingerprints which I have no doubt they will not find. The other mode of investigation is CCTV, and in the past mine has been erased. So, making my report I was not hopeful, l but I did want to raise awareness given that my FOI request shows a very different picture of my situation, as if nothing were taking place. The garda himself had no knowledge of my previous reports and stated he himself had been in the station 14 years.It was this last encounter with the gardai which left me with the realisation that An Garda Siochana, I am afraid to say, are unable to see the wood for the trees. They operate on a simple policy of 1 complaint, 1 investigation. There is no thinking which joins the dots together and recognises there is a serious problem which amounts to attempted murder as many individuals would not be able to withstand the attacks I am being subjected to. They do not carry out wider investigations. They simply carry on and ignore all that has happened. On this occasion I brought the matter to the gardai’s attention some weeks after the event. I created a document of all 4 leaks and the response I got was: what do you expect me to do given so much time has passed? It was a very good question and explains why these incidents continue without fear on the part of the perpetrators as they understand the system and why nothing has been done in 4 years despite incidents covering every area of daily life. There is a serious problem in law enforcement that paves the way for terrorists to intimate the population whenever it suits their purposes as there is no other word to describe what is happening. It surprises me after decades of conflict in NI we have not adapted to these realities? That is why I believe the Gardai have seen all of this before but choose to not get involved.The 1993 Interception of Postal Packets and Telecommunications Messages Act gives gardaí or the Defence Forces the power to tap phones and listen to phone calls, open and read letters before they arrive to their recipient, and (potentially) read emails after the Garda Commissioner or Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces applies for permission from the Justice MinisterMeanwhile the 2009 Criminal Justice (Surveillance) Act gives Gardaí, the Defence Forces and Revenue the power to secretly record with audio and video devices, break into your home to implant a device, and again to remove it, secretly put a tracking device on your vehicle and follow your movements without permission from a District Court judge, but with the approval of a “Superior Officer” within each agency.In other words, one can be secretly bugged, wiretapped, recorded and have your internet use monitored, under the 1993 and 2009 Acts and there is no one to turn to. One can assume this power extends to social media via spyware and other such surveillance techniques. This is in line with what is happening to me.To help put this into context, I believe it can help to understand the mentality of the institution that is An Garda Siochana. I was fortunate enough to have a chance encounter with a young man who left the service a while back disillusioned. He explained to me that gardai are leaving in droves and the reasons he explained had to do with a lack of transparency, openness, and accountability. He also pointed out that if you brought a complaint against another member, while you might be vindicated, chances are you would be side lined for promotion or moved to another area. While you might succeed in your complaint, it seems priority is given to those who have your back while moving on or side lining anyone who stands in their way. It is this culture of secrecy, back scratching and unaccountability which can easily be exploited by members who seek to act outside the law, and interfere in a citizens civil liberties. It’s clear to me this operation must be taking place with the knowledge of senior gardai, given the attention it has received with letters to politicians, letters to the Minister of Justice and the gardai themselves and posts on Facebook. How then can it be that the campaign has continued relentlessly with ongoing attacks on my livelihood and personal life? Unless it is a state sponsored operation, the best-case scenario is they are simply too afraid to get involved due to a culture of silence in the Gardai and are turning a blind eye. In the worst-case scenario, it is simply a matter of course that certain Gardai from around the country can tap into high level resources within law enforcement, to target private citizens without fear of blowback of any kind, as they are protected by a code of silence within the force, and the fear of reprisals should anyone stand in their way. In this scenario to tackle these individuals within the force is basically a recipe to end your career. According to Mike Wallace in 2016, the gardai are a law onto themselves. This I do believe to be true. I believe the manner in which law enforcement operate within a culture of secrecy and unaccountability, penalising those who report what is happening, has led to a laisse faire attitude of invincibility which in turn means the powers of the 1993 and 2009 Acts can be abused towards criminal ends, and I am at the receiving end of such abuse.I therefore believe these incidents could not occur without the help of members of law enforcement. The question is, do they operate at their own discretion or are they acting at the service of the state?The people behind these attacks are following a well-trodden path designed to delegitimise threats and undermine the livelihood of those same threats. On my Twitter account (twitter handle albertbyrne) I have detailed 13 sets of dirty tricks I have identified, that have been used against me over the past 4 years to intimidate and torture me and are still in use. There clearly is a playbook being followed, and those responsible have done this many times before. The perpetrators have years of experience of operating outside the law, while at the same time using all the resources at the disposal of law enforcement, including access to every institution in the country. It’s not possible an Garda Siochana have not seen this before. They must know what is going on.In 2017 former chief justice John Murray submitted his findings that the State is operating a system of data-retention that amounts to mass surveillance of the entire population. His report is a damning indictment of the Department of Justice for allowing a range of surveillance practices to develop that are in clear breach of European law. It is clear to me that the current culture in An Garda Siochana encourages violations of human rights and, like the tail wagging the dog, is responsible for government policy which undermines civil rights in Irish society.In order to clarify what is taking place I call on the Taoiseach to confirm or deny the existence of a unit within law enforcement empowered to act outside the law which works in conjunction with local criminal elements, with the objective of eliminating individuals from Irish society deemed undesirable by members of law enforcement, and / or the government. The public need reassurance individuals are not being targeted by the state, or by third parties who have infiltrated the state apparatus exploiting state resources, as there is clearly no way to find recourse.As things stand nothing is going to change as the local gardai by their own admission, are not equipped to handle the situation. Given what I now understand about the gardai I am fully in agreement. I therefore call on the Taoiseach to set up an independent investigation into how it is possible these incidents in all areas of my life can continue unchecked for the past 4 years, despite numerous communications with government officials and the Gardai, and how blatant digital interference can continue daily without any help whatsoever from law enforcement despite numerous notifications. Based on this investigation fundamental reforms are needed to protect individuals from such acts of terrorism and the manner in which gardai respond, as they are clearly not equipped to deal with acts of terrorism in our communities.The public need reassurance our civil rights are protected under the present system of law enforcement as that does not appear to be the case.Thank you for listening to my message. ...
