Gary McKinnon
Gary McKinnon is accused by the United States of perpetrating one of
the "biggest military computer hacks of all time." Following legal
hearings in the UK it was decided in July 2006 that he should be
extradited to the United States. In February 2007 his lawyers argued
against ruling in an appeal to the High Court in London, which was
turned down in April. He still has the possibility of appealing to the
House of Lords using the argument that because the alleged offences
were committed in the UK this is where he should be tried. The prison
sentence the US justice department is seeking - should Gary be
successfully extradited - is up to 70 years. Gary's case has attracted
attention due not only to the controversial sentencing and extradition
but because of his claims that he found evidence of deliberate
airbrushing of UFO-like anomalies and documents mentioning
'non-terrestrial officers' and space-based 'fleet-to-fleet transfers'.
Case History
In 1983, when Gary McKinnon was 17, he went to see the movie War Games
at his local cinema in Crouch End, north London. This film created his
interest in computers and computer networks and was ironically
prophetic of events that would take over Gary's life. Born in Glasgow
in 1966, Gary spent some time growing up in Falkirk, Scotland which is
close to the infamous Bonnybridge UFO sighting hotspot. Gary's
stepfather also encouraged his interest in science fiction books and
UFOs generally - giving Gary the impetus to join BUFORA in his teens.
Somewhat frustrated by the common avenues of UFO research, Gary
began some basic computer hacking techniques from his girlfriend's
Aunt's house in the mid-late 1990s. Soon he began using a system of
scanning for blank administrator passwords on supposedly secure
networks and found that on certain occasions this was effective for
entering systems that could possibly obtain information on the UFO and
free energy phenomena. A major catalyst for his research was the
information he heard about via Dr. Steven Greer's Disclosure Project.
Gary claimed one of the reasons he was looking for validation was that
"in the UK old age pensioners are dying each winter because they cannot
pay their fuel bills..." - the implication being that above-government
agencies are keeping highly efficient sources of power, possibly
derived from alien hardware, to themselves. The Disclosure Project
witness statements also contained reference to photo retouching work
was done in building 8 of the Johnson Space Centre. McKinnon also made
some attempt to confirm this testimony by Donna Hare, a former
employee. Hare insisted that NASA was retouching photographs of the
lunar surface, airbrushing out “anomalies” such as flying saucers.
By the time his home was raided in 2002, it is claimed that
Gary had penetrated a range of secure networks including NASA, the US
Army, US Navy, Department of Defence and the US Air Force. Gary claims
to have found evidence of photographic or satellite images being
retouched before public distribution - he claims that in building 8 he
found PC directories with 'before' and 'after' airbrushed images and
located pre-tampered images of anomalous objects casting shadows onto
the earth surface. However the information that has caused the biggest
stir in the Exopolitical communities was Gary's claim to have seen
documentary evidence of what could be alternative space programs. This
controversial element to the case was based on Gary allegedly finding
spreadsheet data relating to 'non-terrestrial officers' and
'fleet-to-fleet transfers'. Gary found names of "ships" listed in this
data and separately researched these names against military sea-based
vessels but found no correlation.
After being traced by his purchase of "Remotely Anywhere" - the
items of software McKinnon used to replicate networked computer
contents on his own PC, he was arrested by the UK's then recently
formed National Hi-Tech Crime Unit. No charges were brought against
McKinnon in the UK, but authorities in the US started extradition
proceedings against him. These have continued to this day and may
continue for several years yet. In 2003 Britain signed a new
extradition treaty with the United States. This new treaty included far
fewer safeguards for British citizens. Under the previous arrangement,
the US government would be required to present evidence in a British
court that a crime had been committed. A British judge would review the
evidence and make a decision on whether or not extradition should take
place. Under the new treaty, however, none of this happened.
Extradition was almost automatic. For this reason and more, the
exopolitical field are supporting the case on a human rights issue as
much as anything else.
Case Updates
After British MPs voted to agree to the extradition of Gary and his
failure of Appeal at the British High Court he is currently in the
process of appealing to the House of Lords on a number of
technicalities related to the extradition. The appeal points generally
revolve around the plea bargaining process adopted by US officials
early on in the case and the status of the terrorist extradition laws
themselves.
