Kitty Genovese: Truth About Witnessing & Reporting Crime

"FBI, DHS, New Orleans police ignore citizen bomb warning" by Jeff Stein, Washington Post, Tuesday, 5th October 2010

The above possible terrorist threat reporting effort described by Jeff Stein in his Washington Post column has been growing on me for a couple days against the background of what I remembered concerning the apathy surrounding the Kitty Genovese murder reported in the 1960s and my own experience since 1996 after witnessing an apparent rape and attempted murder which I reported as it occurred without results.

Phil Ochs song "Outside of a Small Circle of Friends" about apathy starts off with a take on the 1964 murder of Kitty Genovese.  He goes on with other verses as well.

Here's a long account of the Kitty Genovese incident, its impact and the truth which emerged much, much later:

"The Kitty Genovese Case: A Fascinating Intersection of True Crime, Psychology, and Media Misinformation The Confluence

On the last Monday evening of August 1996, the day of the Notting Hill Carnival that year, I witnessed the apparent rape and attempted murder of a young women from my kitchen window.  When I saw  her standing in the middle of a crowd that looked ugly, I called the police immediately then watched what happened as the police failed to arrive at the scene.  

Many people passed by avoiding the scene. There was a stream of them coming along this route because a Tube Station had been closed, and they were seeking the open one nearby.  Vehicles were driving by, but no one stopped.  One paused apparently to see if she was all right after the attempted murder.  

The police arrived down the road but did not come here. I could see their flashing lights.  There were Carnival related traffic problems that should not have been. If the police had arrived, they could have prevented the apparent rape and attempted murder that occurred.  

I did call the police again but was given a run around by the emergency operator. Since they were departing by this time, it was too late.  I told the emergency operator that and hung up.  I sent a long fax to the Metropolitan Police Commissioner and local police station commander describing everything.  

During the next couple of years, I reported another violent incident where the police did respond.  I also figured out who was involved in the apparent rape and attempted murder.  Then I reported child abuse in an adjacent flat in May 1998.  

By mid-August 1998 I was the target of surveillance technology where those whom I reported for child abuse and those involved with the earlier incidents participated in an ongoing abuse activity against me using the surveillance technology as a weapon.  

In February 2001 Colonel Vine USMC Ret,  Lt Harry Bird USMC Ret and others arrived with their most sophisticated surveillance technology joining the child abusers and others involved in earlier crimes who had already been carrying out 2.5 years surveillance technology abuse which had been occurring 24/7/365 by that time.  It goes on as of this writing over 12 years later.  

It's not just apathy that we have as the problem, but the active involvement of the community in the crimes themselves by trying to cover them up and attack the person who reported them.  This has turned into institutionalised abuse driven by surveillance technology under the operational control of the child abusing and viciously violent personalities.  

Instead of solving the problem it has been allowed to persist and grow so that everyone is involved except the few who walk away perhaps too afraid to challenge and report it.  The standards in society have inverted themselves starting at apathy and moving on to participation as accessories in the crimes and the abuse used to try to silence anyone who would report them.  Society is sliding backwards, downhill and gaining momentum. 

Two years ago in 2008 the nearby BBC Radio 4 broadcast the following programme: 

BBC Radio4 Kitty Genovese was brutally killed in New York in 1964. Not 1 of 38 witnesses called for help until too late

They were discussing "Bystander Effect" and totally ignored the fact that the society in the UK as reflected by the nearby borough of Kensington & Chelsea had gone to a more extreme degree of criminality instead of countering crime.  The BBC has studiously ignored what I have been bringing to their attention since 2000 now for ten years.  They too have gone beyond apathy to aiding and abetting silence about crimes that persist coming from violent criminals who seek to silence those who would report the crimes.  

Today the vigilante mob organised by tenant management around the police, NHS and other government organisations including elected officials and those in various positions of authority continues to make every effort to silence me.  These organisations and people support and sustain the violent child and adult abusers in their attempt to discredit what I report by infantile name calling such as "potty," "psychotic" and "He's very sick."  

All of this is based on a foundation of false allegations which they  have developed during the past 12+ years in an effort to silence me in any brutal way they can get away with. Society has moved beyond Kitty Genovese to the extent that those watching from their windows would go out and help the murderer.  Or, in the song the tow truck operator would stop and try to push the vehicles over the cliff.  That is what has happened because no one is reporting the truth about what is really occurring in society today.
