Mark Kennedy, Global Open Ltd and E.ON
Jon | 12.01.2011 11:35 | SHAC | Animal Liberation | Climate Chaos
There is now conclusive proof that Mark Kennedy had become involved with Global Open Ltd BEFORE he resigned from the police.
The Daily Mail stated on January 12:
“An undercover policeman who posed as an eco-warrior used his false identity to spy for an energy giant after leaving the police. PC Mark Kennedy secured a lucrative contract with investigators working for E.ON before his seven year secret was exposed ... Now documents reveal links between Kennedy and a company run by ex-Special Branch officers, Global Open, which keeps a ‘discreet watch’ on protest groups for clients including E.ON ... The ease with which he used his taxpayer-funded false identity for private gain sparked anger from green groups last night. E.ON would not confirm or deny whether Kennedy worked for it.”
Here are the facts
February 9, 2010: Mark J Kennedy set up Tokra Ltd.
(His full name is Mark John Kennedy and he was born in Camberwell on July 7, 1969 – the same DOB as his false ‘Mark Stone’ passport. His mother’s name was Jones.)
Its registered address is:
36 Orchard Drive
Linslade
Leighton Buzzard
Beds LU7 2PL
Kennedy gives his DOB as 07/07/1969 and describes himself as a ‘Logistics Officer’.
(This is the home address of Heather Millgate who had, since at least 2007, been describing herself as ‘Marketing Manager’ of Global Open Ltd.)
February 19, 2010: Heather Mary Millgate became a Director of Global Open Ltd.
March 31, 2010: Tokra Ltd changes its address to:
Suite 2029,
Slighton House
Rankine Road
Basingtstoke
RG24 8PH
April 2010: Kennedy resigns from the police.
April 12, 2010: Kennedy applies for Tokra Ltd to be dissolved.
May 4, 2010: Notice is given that Tokra Ltd will be dissolved.
August 17, 2010: Tokra Ltd was dissolved.
August 31, 2010: Heather Mary Millgate resigned as a Director of Global Open.

The original investigating team, Dr Simon Lewis (one of the Ratcliffe 6 Deniers who communicated with Mark behind everyone's back in the hope that Mark would get him off) and any others who have information about Mark and are withholding it from what they obviously perceive as 'the mob' are rapidly revealing themselves to be only slightly less than collaborators at this point. An email to IM moderators telling them to remove any posts with sensitive information relating to Mark such as that he had a canal boat is a disgrace.
It is not our business to protect an undercover agent.

Kennedy could hit the big screen
12.01.2011 13:30
Film-makers have reportedly approached the group of activists whom Mark Kennedy spent seven years infiltrating
It's a staple of countless Hollywood films, from Point Break to Avatar, the tale of the undercover mole "gone native". Now Britain is to get its own equivalent based on the real-life story of a Met police officer who spent seven years posing as an eco-warrior to infiltrate a group of activists.
Members of the group say film-makers interested in turning the story into a screenplay, have since approached them, although it is not yet known if Kennedy will be involved. A source told the Telegraph that UK company Century Films was among those who had been in touch, adding: "It has been extraordinarily bizarre for everyone – and then to be the possible focus of a film." A publisher is also said to be trying to contact Kennedy with the aim of offering him a book deal.
How about Johnny Depp to play Kennedy?

Simon Lewis was not part of the group that exposed him - that's misinformation.
unnecessary

The IMC MSG reads like you're trying to protect Mark Kennedy, or otherwise why would you ask for personal information about HIM to be removed?

Personally, I think there has been a massive fuck up in the way this has been handled since the collapse of the Ratcliffe, and I'm not overly happy about some of the politics behind it, but the end of the day, meeting the demands of everyone for full-disclosure on absolutely everything is bullshit as there are other considerations. Sorry if that dents a few egos, but tough shit really.
The way I read the sentence was that you were implying SL was part of the original group, but I accept that was not your intention.

HOWEVER, MARK KENNEDY IS NOT ONE OF THE ABOVE PEOPLE..If you know anybody who has the least desire or intention to protect Mark Kennedy from anything, please say who it is, how they are protecting him, and what he's being protected from.
It looks like he now needs protection from his erstwhile rozzerista employers. Ha ha! But he's getting no protection from any quarter I know of and deserves none at all. He can stew in his own fucking juice. He cooked it.
