Gary McKinnon: ‘alone in another country’
p2pnet view P2P | Politics:- America has been trying to get its hands on Gary McKinnon ever since they discovered he’d hacked US military computers in his quest for proof of UFOs.
“This is the world’s super power we’re talking about”, his mother, Janis Sharp, told p2pnet late last year, “so it was a shocking revelation that a guy with a 28kb dialup connection and a 486 primitive computer could walk through the US miltary and NASA systems with such ease and for the US military to say that Gary’s intrusion brought them to their knees just doesn’t ring true, especially as Robert Gates from the Pentagon says they have thousands of intrusions every month.”
Did Gary McKinnon find evidence of the, “truth he was seeking to uncover?” – we asked Janis.
He says he did, she told us.
Now Gary is on the verge of being shipped to America so its military can have its revenge.
“In less than two weeks a judicial review will consider whether McKinnon, who has Asperger’s syndrome, is too unwell to cope with the trial and possible imprisonment”, says The Independent. “His lawyers are lobbying Theresa May, the new Home Secretary, asking her to save him from extradition.”
What concerns you most?” – asks the newspaper’s Rachel Shields >>>
Gary: Being alone in another country with a different culture and no family or friends near you or able to visit you is a terrifying prospect. Being dragged from my own home and country to a place I’ve never been in is terrifying in itself and is against the rules of our Magna Carta, which states that British citizens have a right to be tried by a jury of their peers. My peers are in the UK and this is where I should be tried. Look up the extreme conditions in those prisons and at what the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union) say about those prisons and tell me that you wouldn’t be terrified.
Rachel: What do you want to say to the judges deciding your case?
Gary: Cyberspace doesn’t exist any more than never-never land. I was no more in America than anyone who is on a long-distance telephone call. The fiction of cyberspace should be properly tested in a British court because it is no more real than Santa Claus. They cannot “return” me to a country I wasn’t in, yet they continually refer in court to “returning me”. If I was being returned to the place where my crime was committed, I would be returned to Crouch End. I am not a fugitive, I was physically in North London and have remained in North London.
And >>>
Rachel: What were you looking for at Nasa?
Gary: Suppressed evidence of reverse engineered UFO technology, free energy that would help to stop climate change and would help to stop old age pensioners from dying of cold… and also evidence of anti-gravity.
Rachel: What did you find?
Gary: A space fleet and an impressive UFO and a total lack of Nasa and military internet security, which I found truly shocking which is why I alerted them via cyber notes.
Rachel: How do you feel about the internet now?
Gary: I was arrested in March 2002 and was allowed to remain on the internet until June 2005, which shows that my presence on the internet was not considered any risk whatsoever. Only after the US requested my extradition several years later once the UK was using the one-sided extradition treaty where no evidence was required to extradite any UK citizen was I told not to use the internet.
Stay tuned.
(Cheers, RW)
