National Library of Australia
Parkes Pl W, Canberra ACT 2600
Attention: Mark Straughair, Security Manager
Dear Sir:
Re: Criminal conduct on the National Library premises
You will recall our meeting last week when I introduced a matter that is
going to be brought to the attention to the Australian Federal Police in
addition to what was complained of on March 22, 2016, namely, a bicycle
theft at the Woden interchange (Incident No. 5938125).

I represented

that Id made a submission to Senator Penny Wong which assists in her

seeking to amend legislation that regulates the oversight of agencies in the
countrys intelligence community. That criminal act was punitive retaliation
for my efforts. I am waiting for the investigating officer to contact me so
we can together review what the CCTV recorded. She states in her March
24th email:
Once I receive the footage, I am happy to arrange a time for you
to view it if you think that it may help. However, be aware that it
can take a while for the footage to arrive. I will recontact you once
I have and we can discuss the viewing.
I also indicated to you Id made a submission to Attorney General Brandis
Q.C. (dated March 16th) and would in due course be seeking his offices
involvement with respect to what Ive been experiencing at the library

every time I attended (which was every day since the first week of last
month with no more than two to three exceptions).
You were in agreement that the conduct, strategies and objectives of the
likes of the Australian Secret Intelligence Organization are protected by
national security confidentiality. It is my position that is the case except
when criminality is involved. Rogue executives, managers and operatives
cannot be afforded the benefit of non-transparency and allowed to avoid
culpability when they break the law, especially when it involves the kinds
and amounts Ive experienced.
These are the germane provisions of the Crimes Act 1900:
35. A person must not stalk someone with intent to cause apprehension
or fear of harm, to cause harm or to harass the person stalked. A
person stalks someone if on at least two occasions the person does
one or more of the following1:

follows the victim;

loiters or keeps the victim under surveillance;

interferes with the victims property; and

engages in conduct amounting to

intimidation

[and]

harassment of the stalked person.

For the purpose of establishing credibility I encourage you to review the
website on which Ive posted my curriculum vitae and family bio.2 Further,
I filed a lawsuit, as indicated during our meeting, in the Federal Court of
Canada (September 2002) and named the ASIOs Canadian equivalent, the
Canadian Security Intelligence Service, as being involved in a multi-agency,
decade and a half collusion that had serious and in many cases irreversible

The ones listed are relevant to the circumstances.

personal, professional and financial consequences. Since 2004 there has

been virtually non-stop harassment, intimidation, threats of death and
serious violence, stalking, theft (including mail), destruction of property,
cyber-crime, unlawful entry into my residence and more that was
retaliation for the lawsuit one in which the Defendant claimed national
security privilege on all the documents it had. A biased court upheld the
designation. When I began conducting academic research3 to discover the
sources of and reasons for the pled malfeasance and judicial bias, the
criminality continued and got worse. When I departed for Australia on
December 4, 2015 I believed I was putting it all behind me for the duration
of my stay.
It is incontestable in my mind that what is now a thirty year ordeal is being
perpetuated by those in the Australian intelligence community who not only
have embraced these abuses of power to cause pain, suffering, injury and
loss to Australians, but also to pursue some form of perverse international
alliance with those responsible in Canada.
In the Statement of Claim I allege:
112. [S]urveillance of the Plaintiff by the Defendant [involved
the use of] coordinated teams [in vehicles] to cause the
most discomfort possible by regularly using distracting
body movements like pointing, waving, [etc] to distract,
harass, annoy or assault.4 [] Using these and other
tactics, he thereafter to the present completely lost any
sense of privacy, personal security and anonymity.
113.

Another tactic utilized by the Defendant has been making

hand signals to attract the Plaintiffs attention.
[O]peratives on the street timed with the Plaintiffs
movements [employed these gestures] to keep his privacy,
personal security and anonymity at a minimum.

Defined in Canadian law as creating the apprehension of violence and making
the victim fear for his safety and well-being.

Over time the catalogue of gestures expanded. They include, among others,
scratching skin (including the face, scalp, neck and arms), reaching for an
object for no apparent reason, sticking a finger in the ear, running hands
through or adjusting hair and grabbing or making slashing motions across
the throat. Occasionally, there is a combination of several to increase the
encounters impact on my feelings of security and safety.
In anticipation of authoring this correspondence I began documenting the
conduct so you can access the CCTV footage to see this for yourself. Kindly
note Im dealing with an intelligence community that has ample hi-tech
resources which can erase what you have on the server and even replace
footage so the malfeasance is not observable.
Friday, 4:38 p.m.: walked into building and lobby by way of the front door.
Sitting in one of the two black chairs next to the service counter was a man
who appeared to be in his 50s. As I approached he gestured several times
in an embellished manner, including a slash across the throat.
Saturday, 2:02: walk into building and lobby from restaurant. Sitting in one
of the chairs to the left of the main entrance was a tall, white haired man
looking to be in his 70s. He was wearing a green shirt with a plaid pattern
and green pants. He elevated his left hand and brushed his hair back twice.
I walked towards the table he was at, sat down and, facing him, took notes
of this encounter.
Saturday, 2:08: six minutes later was walking past lower ground floor lifts
and a 20-something female (with companion, both of whom entered the
right elevator) grabbed the lower part of her throat and held her hand there
in a protracted fashion. I inferred this threat of extreme violence or death
was in response to the foregoing documentation.
Saturday, 2:26: as I sat down at a Reading room computer in the main
area to begin my work, a 20-something female (brown hair, black sweater,

white top) across from me one terminal to my left scratched her right lower
arm. She finished what she was doing and walked away at 2:53.
Monday (today), 11:59: walked into Reading Room and librarian (beard
and top of scalp bald) at the front desk reached out and adjusted the
computer screen for no justifiable reason and then extended his left index
finger and scratched just to the left of his nose. The intent was to be as
distracting as possible.
Monday, 12:00: I walked straight ahead and turned left to encounter a 70ish man (wearing headphones) gesturing.
Monday, 12:01: turned right and walked past next desk. Librarian (muted
purple and white horizontal striped shirt) raised his right arm up and with
extended fingers covered his mouth in a protracted manner as I walked by.
Last Tuesday I was preparing documents for my visa extension. In late
November a colleague in Sydney authored correspondence for the
Department of Immigration and Border Security. The document was stored
on my thumb drive. When I wanted to access it, the file could not be found;
so I sent his assistant this email and swiftly received a reply:

I stored it in my Explorer folder entitled Mortimer Partnership; and later

that day when I wanted to print it out, the file had been again deleted;
necessitating I download it from the Gmail account again.
In my submissions to Senator Wong and the Attorney General I compiled
a list of computer and Internet criminality in Canada. The bolded items are
what occurred when at libraries in Australia.
A short list: destroying the hard drive; installing malware, Trojan horses
and spyware notwithstanding a firewall; seize up and crash the
computer; significantly slowing a reboot; stop files from being saved;
suspend the copy-paste function; fill the screen with unwanted windows;
freezing and slowing the initialization of the Word processing program;
blanking the entire screen of a website and Word doc; cutting access
to the Internet; scrambling a webpage image; halting the loading
of a website being accessed; preventing a video stream from
loading; initialize buffering to halt access;5 preventing an email
attachment from uploading; deleting typed contents; increasing
size of files by several megabits; blacking out the entire screen; and
wiping UBS thumb drives clean of all content.

Now I can add what was just described.

This underlined item was experienced on this librarys computer system.

The technologies employed and personnel mobilized to stalk, harass,

intimidate and threaten me are very advanced. The videos I watch the
most and daily comprise Americas CBS Evening News and NBC Nightly
News. What I access is being monitored in real time; and operatives in
the library are patched into some kind of central command which instructs
them to gesture and cough to convert references to murder, violence,
bombings and the like into more instances of aggressive stalking and death
threats. This occurs the most when in the main part of the Reading Room.
Going forward, you have my full consent to tap into what Im watching and
cross-reference that with whats the librarys CCTV is recording.
Theres value in excerpting a portion of the submission to Senator Wong
because the parallels in this country and Canberra as experienced are as
glaring as they are compelling and disturbing:
Canadian investigative reporter Andrew Mitrovica summarizes the
culture in CSIS this way:
The new agency was invested with extraordinary powers in
order to protect Canadas national security interests and the
safety of Canadians. In fact, CSISs ability to invade the lives
of Canadians is unmatched in government. If it decides, in
secret, that you constitute a threat to national security, CSIS
can listen in on your telephone calls at home and at work. It
can deploy an army of watchers to monitor and record your
every movement twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
It can intercept and open your mail without your knowledge. It
can break into your home and office and install state-of-the-art
voice- and video-recording devices. If you become a target,
your family, friends and neighbours can also be subjected to
this suffocating scrutiny. Your life -- past, present and future - is fair game. In effect, the act that created CSIS simply made
legal the old services tactics.

What I discovered behind the carefully constructed artifice is

an intelligence service, still in its infancy, riddled by
corruption and law-breaking. [...] [The agencys] executive
branch behave[s] as though [it is] unimpeachable, safe from
meaningful accountability, discipline or reform. This
complacency has bred a culture of impunity, founded on what
is widely referred to at the spy service as the Ways and Means
Act: if you have a way to get things done, the means legal
or not are justified.

Service, (Random House of Canada, 2002, pg. 17)

One book review6 states this about the author and publication:
A celebrated investigative journalist who has worked for the
CBC, CTV and The Globe and Mail, Mitrovica has produced a
damning portrayal of the inner-workings of Canada's premier
spy organization and what he describes as its rather ineffectual
watchdog organization, the Security Intelligence Review
Committee (SIRC). The civilian spy agency, which Canadians
believe to be built on a foundation of integrity, professionalism
and profound respect for the rights and liberties of every
Canadian, is in fact rife with corruption and cronyism, [he]
argues. Furthermore, he reminds his reader throughout the
book that some CSIS agents regularly commit criminal acts,
which range from theft to fraud, in order to spy on their targets.
Their actions often go unreported, [he] notes, because the
agency is able to invoke the interests of national security to
prevent any serious investigation. Mitrovica's allegations are
astonishing and should send shockwaves through the federal
government and anyone who has ever worried about the
protection of their civil liberties in a democracy.
[]
As Mitrovica rightfully notes, if the government and its agents
are permitted to unilaterally subvert the rule of law without fear

Another remarkable publication is Whose National Security? Canadian

State Surveillance and the Creation of Enemies, (Kinsman, Buse and
Steedman, Between the Lines, Toronto, 2000).
The national security campaigns would stir up and maintain a
climate of fear directed against those defined as different or
other and thereby also help to maintain the control of people
located in positions of power and privilege.
[Emphasis added]

Whoever is labeled as different, as was I, is targeted for all manner

of systemic illegality in which a ubiquitous climate of intimidation,
harassment, coercion and threats of violence is experienced.
The various forms of the malfeasance referenced in this correspondence
have occurred every single day since arriving in this country, on this
premises throughout March and at all the other libraries Ive visited from
December to February (Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Port Adelaide).
Those responsible, whose Canadian counterparts Ive described for many
years as intellectually stunted and morally feral, have no fear of
accountability. Their brazen arrogance, therefore, leaves them vulnerable
to the collection of evidence by the authorities. I trust you will review your
security camera footage of the encounters Ive compiled above to become
convinced of the bona fides of my allegations again, with the proviso your
server may have been compromised and forward when requested what
you have to the Senior Constable whos investigating the bike theft and
what is going to be delivered to her very soon, including whats described
herein.
Best regards,
Brad Kempo Esq.
