Shots fired, a car run into his house, threatening phone calls to his children, he is under surveillance, and he can’t find work as people are scared to hire him.

UK-based Lobster Magazine wrote an article headlined “The Persecution of Roderick Russell” in this issue describing it as “a very significant story”. The story’s URL is:

What is significant about this story is that the threats are being carried out by the intelligence services – MI5, MI6 in the UK, & CSIS in Canada – and two governments are trying to cover it up.

They use a process called Zerzetsen. Zerzetsen was developed by the former GDR secret police (“The Stasi”) to persecute dissidents – It is being used today by the MI's and CSIS to persecute this innocent family.

Zerzetsen is a combination of character assassination and defamation, with criminal threats and intimidation – both different sides of the same Zerzetsen coin.

The story begins years ago when an executive chose to leave Grosvenor International, a large private company owned by The Duke of Westminster.

Though he had done an excellent job, years of character assassination followed. It then moved to threats to stop him from complaining. The company is a powerhouse in financial and royal circles and has boasted about its intelligence connections.

There are multiple witnesses to support his allegations of threats and cover-up, and before speaking out he made every attempt to go through normal channels: police, politicians.

The facts were put before both Canada’s Prime Minister Harper and former UK PM Blair and the cover-up still continues. The threats also continue.

Are the politicians scared of Grosvenor, or just scared of their own intelligence services?

Democracy requires adherence to rule of law, even where the high establishment is pulling the other way. That politicians are scared to enforce rule of law is symptomatic of a crisis in democracy.

In January he presented a research paper at McMaster University to the 30th World Congress on Economic Crime Prevention. The paper describes the Zerzetsen technique in some detail from a victim’s perspective. The subject of his speech: Corporate Terrorism & Government Cover-up.
