One thing that is striking when researching the Fixated Threat Assessment Centre (FTAC) is the total lack of published information about it. A Google search produced a few items, but not much detail.
The Police
On the Metropolitan Police web site there are no pages that admit to the existence of the FTAC. A deeper search reviled only one reference; a sidebar in an article on stalking from an issue from November 2007 of the house journal called ‘The Job’.
The Press
Press coverage has been remarkably absent. Back in late May of 2007 the Mail on Sunday broke the story, and it was subsequently covered by the Times and Telegraph the following day. Their coverage correctly raised the insidious nature of this organisation.
In response to this initial coverage, the Observer cooperated in a piece to cover up the concerns that have been raised.
Since the Observer article there has been virtually no coverage at all in the mainstream media whatsoever. The other security services my look with envy at the ability of the FTAC to avoid any serious scrutiny.
Parliament
Our representatives in parliament have not been too inquisitive either. Hansard reveals that MPs have asked about the Fixated Threat Assessment Centre a grand total of twice. Once shortly after the Mail on Sunday revelation by Tim Loughton and another over two years later by the Conservative MP Grant Shapps. Other than that: nothing. The government forms a police department that abduct people and lock them up in mental hospital and no one of the opposition members challenges them.
Personal accounts
One story that has been picked up by the conspiracy websites has concerns someone who was called in to see their GP. The GP revealed that they had been ordered by the FTAC to ascertain the person’s state of mind. The person in question had sent e-mails to disgraced former home sectary Jaqui Smith calling her a communist. Apparently she had instructed FTAC to ‘deal’ with that person.
The only other case is someone clearly psychotic who admits in their own words to hear voices. We can only assume that all other cases have been locked up so securely that nobody will ever hear from them.
Now there is my story. I shall shortly begin describing what happened to me. What I have to tell will really shock everyone that reads it. I will reveal the lies, abuse and corruption that infest the police and the NHS. I am going to name those that are responsible.
