Kyle Montgomery found guilty of killing journalist Thomas Allwood
A man who stabbed a journalist to death in West Lothian has been convicted of culpable homicide.
Kyle Montgomery, from Winchburgh, denied murdering 56-year-old Thomas Allwood in Broxburn in June.
A jury at the High Court in Livingston took four-and-a-half hours to find the 24-year-old guilty of the lesser charge.
Sentence was deferred until 20 December at the High Court in Edinburgh for background reports.
Montgomery had said he grabbed a knife to scare off Mr Allwood after claiming he was attacked by him at a house in Broxburn.
He said the killing was an accident and that he did not know the blade had sliced through the victim's chest and severed a major artery during the struggle.
After the attack, Mr Allwood, who was a journalist with the Australian-based INL News Group, was found on Clarkson Road by members of the public.
Police who were called to the scene followed a trail of blood from his body to Montgomery's father house.
They found the knife, still bloodstained, in a cutlery drawer. Montgomery was detained as he returned to the house from a nearby shop.
Mr Allwood was born in Scotland but his family emigrated to Australia when he was a baby and he spent most of his life there.
He was involved in producing a TV show called Fringe Shows Have Talent, to showcase entertainers performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Kyle Montgomery, 24, denied murdering Thomas Allwood after a late-night drinking session but was found guilty of culpable homicide by a jury on Wednesday.
Jurors at the High Court in Livingston took four and a half hours to return a guilty verdict on the lesser charge.
Sentence on the first-time offender, of Winchburgh, West Lothian, was deferred until December 20 for background reports.
Mr Allwood, a 56-year-old photographer who worked for the Australian-based INL News Group, was stabbed in the chest during an incident on June 21.
Giving evidence in his own defence, Montgomery claimed he grabbed the knife to frighten Mr Allwood after being attacked by him at a house in Broxburn, West Lothian.
He said the killing was an accident and that he did not know the blade had sliced through the victim's chest and severed a major artery as he struggled with the victim.
Police who were called to the scene followed a trail of blood from Mr Allwood's body to Montgomery's father’s home. They found the knife, still stained with blood, in a cutlery drawer.
Montgomery was detained as he returned to the house from a nearby shop.
Mr Allwood was a photographer with the Australian-based INL News Group. Although he was born in Scotland, his family emigrated when he was a child and he spent most of his live in Australia.
A MAN accused of murdering an Australian journalist has claimed he must have stabbed the victim to death by accident.
Kyle Montgomery admitted that he armed himself with a kitchen knife and squared up to 56-year-old Thomas Graham Allwood.
He claimed in evidence at the High Court in Livingston that the blade was for his own “protection” and he had no intention of using it.
After being attacked twice by the victim, he said he just wanted to “scare him off” with the knife.
He struggled with Mr Allwood, who was armed with a metal pole or iron bar, but said he was unaware of inflicting the fatal blow which severed the main artery above his heart.
Montgomery, 24, from Winchburgh, West Lothian, denies murdering Mr Allwood in Broxburn on June 21.
In his closing speech yesterday, advocate depute Martin Macari asked the jury to convict Montgomery of murder. He said: “Whatever happened between those men, Kyle Montgomery had returned to the house to get a weapon.”
Derek Ogg QC, defending, said: “If he didn’t realise he’d caused that injury, he could not and did not have any criminal intent towards Mr Allwood.”
Judge Lord Doherty was due to deliver his charge to the jury this morning.
Comment from INL News Reader: Mary Gleeson
I have read all the published stories on the trial of Kyle Montgomery who was charged with the murder of INL Journalist Thomas Allwood, and all other previous media reports I could find on the web since Thomas Allwood was first reported on the BBC website on the 22nd June 2012 that he had been murdered in Broxburn, Scotland and that Kyle Montgomery was charged with Willfull murder of Thomas Allwood... and I have come to the conclusion that the way the evidence has presented at the trial of Kyle Montgomery and what evidence has been given by the witnesses the dots simply do not add up... and the trial has created more questions than answers..... when it seems clear that this Maggie lady, described as a female friend of Thomas Allwood and tJohn Montgomery, the father of the accused ..according to John Montgomery's evidence were in the house when Kyle Montgomery deliberately went outside to chase after Thomas Allwood with a bread knife... rather than jut locking lall the doors and windows of his father's house t make sure Thomas Allwood can not get back into their house....because they were meant to be in fear of him... then ring the police and say that Thomas Allwood was threatening Kyle Montgomery and had attacked Kyle Montgomery in John Montgomery's house ( all according the John Montgomery) and was continuing to bang on their door ... then the police would have come around immediately and arrested Thomas Allwood... who would then have spent the night in the police lock up.... where he would have woken up the next morning alive and be able to explain to a magistrate and/or the police what happened that night... no it all did not happen that way... John and Kyle Montgomery both claim that having removed Thomas Allwood from John Montgomery's house.... and expecting Thomas Allwood to have been unarmed....deliberately ran out of the back door of the house to the back garden for the purpose to chase Thomas Allwood with a bread knife in his hand.... instead of staying safe in his dads house and ringing the police.... now I read in the above article the unbelievable claim by Kyle Montgomery that Thomas Allwood "was armed with a metal pole or iron bar" and thus was acting in self defence after delieberately going outside to look for Thomas Allwood to attack him with a knife... other purpose would he have grabbed the knife and run outside with it for... it can only be to stab Thomas Allwood who he thought was unarmed... now Kyle Montgomery seems on the evidence had been drinking heavily since bout 1pm at his dads house and would have been very drunk by 2am the next morning and Thomas Allwood looks like a big man and Kyle Montgomery looks like a small thin boy... and thus could easily be over powered by Thomas Allwood even without Thomas Allwood have a metal pole or an iron bar to defend himself with from a vicious knife attack... we also heard from John Montgomery who said that Thomas Allwood had his son Kyle Montgomery pinned on the floor with his foot on his chest... which shows that Thomas Allwood had no problem in over powering Kyle Montgomery without any weapon of any sort.... then se have the unbelievable story of John Montgomery that at the same time the Thomas Allwood had his son Kyle Montgomery pinned to the floor by having his foot on his chest... Thomas Allwood was meant to have his hands around Kyle Montgomery's throat trying to strangle Kyle Montgomery... this is simply physically impossible for a tall big man to do at the same time as standing up with his foot on the person's chest....it is simply also unbelievable that that Thomas Allwood was armed outside with a metal pole or iron bar because if that was the case having already being told by John Montgomery that Thomas Allwood had no problem about being able to overpower Kyle Montgomery without any weapon, the how the hell is Kyle Montgomery going to be able fatally stab Thomas Allwood with just one six inch stab wound with a bread knife ( bread knife do not have pointy tips and just a cerated edge for a sawing action for bread or meat but not a stapping action) through clothing knowing the exact place to stab (single handed) a big man to kil him with one stab wound in the front chest ( not in the back) who is well aware that of the identity of the attacked and that the attcked is likely to attack because of a previous disagreement in the house.... and Thomas Allwood is also now armed with a metal pole or an iron bar.... which in one swing would have knocked small frail drunk Kyle Montgomery for six ... there is no way Kyle Montgomery is going to have any chance of being able to make that one fatal stab wound all by himself.... no normal jury is going to beleive this story.. so there seems no doubt what ever happened that morning Thomas Allwood must have been unarmed and Kyle Montgomery would have have to hav had some helpers... if it was really Kyle Montgomery that handed the fatal stab wound on Thomas Allwood...at about 2.15 according to the timing given by his father John Montgomery... then John and Kyle Montgomery and the lasy Maggie have to explain what the enmormous bang against the wall of the next door neighbours bedroom that cam from John Montgomery's house at about 3.5 to 3.15 am that felt to them that their bedroom wall was abourt to cave in... then after there being constant arguing, shouting and fighting etc before this enormous bang at about 3.05 to 3.15 am on the 21st June 2012.. everything from John Montgomery's house suddenly went quiet and for the first tikme ever... the back door was opened and wht and the door was not slammed which indicated clearly that someone or some people went out the door of John Montgomery's very silently and quietly... and the only logical deduction as to what the enormous bang against the wall was just before that nearly push the wall in from John Montgomery's side... was someone king hitting Thomas Allwood with a fist or a heavy object.. making him unconscious....then carrying Thomas Allwood out the door while he was unconscious... then may be making soem more bruses on his boy and then the one fatal stab wound ... all while he was unconscious.... and then carrying the body of Thomas Allwood quietly to where he was found on Clarkson/Pyothall Roads... at about 4.45 am by passers by...
However if one is to discount that theory and ignore the enormosu bang at 3.05 to 3.15 am coming from John Montgomery's house... and just still to what John Montgomery sated on the witness stand under oath.. that his sone Kyle Montgomery grabbed a bread knife from the kitchen draw and ran out the back door( obviously to go to try and stab Thomas Allwood or at least chase after himw ith the knife) then coming back ten minutes later with blod on the knife and admitting he had done something bad... and John Montgomery not asking any more questions and calmly oputting the knife woth the blood on it back into the draw... having one more drink,,, the son leave the house and he falls asleep on the lounge...and is woken uop at about 5am by the police arresting him... so why didn't John Montgomery, Kyle Montgomery and/or Maggie ring the police and/or an ambulance at about 2.20 am which would haved saved the life of Thomas Allwood..

Kyle Montgomery found guilty of killing journalist Thomas Allwood
Thomas Allwood was born in Scotland but spent most of his life in Australia
Accused's father appears to have admitted leaving INL News Investigative Journalist Thomas Allwood to die
The world morns and reflects on
the murder of
INL News and AWN News Investigative Journalist, poet, film and TV producer...
Thomas Allwood
who was murdered because he dared
to expose the Haywicks Farm Fraud and Murder Gang
Day Two of the trial of Kyle Montgomery who has been charged with murder of INL News Investigative Journlist Thomas Allwood in Broxburn Scotland on the 21st July, 2012.....Accused's father appears to have admitted leaving INL News Investigative Journalist Thomas Allwood to die in the street after he sated to the jury that he removed to bloodied bread knife from his son..Kyle Montgomery's Father John Montgomery states that at about 2.15 am he took the bloody bread from his son, Kyle Montgomery and calmly put the bloody bread knife back in the drawn had another drink and went off the bed....
Some thing does not quite add up with all this story and evidence. However if what Kyle Montgomery's father says is all true
then it is clearly Maggie Galloway, who has been claiming to me Thomas Allwood's Sottish Common Law Wife
then If Maggie sat next to Kyle Montgomery and making sexual advances to him
According to Kyle Montgomery's father John Montgomery
Margaret Shedden (Galloway)was the real cause of the argument.. yet other evidence not produced to the jury was that the actual fight was not initially between Thomas Allwood (who had not been drinking an alcohol that night as evidenced by the bar maid at the local hotel..the reason being that Thomas Allwood had given up drinking alcohol altogether because he was taking pills for a very bad heart and was told if he drunk alcohol and had the heart pills at the same time it may kill him ... there was no evidence to show that Thomas Allwood was drinking any alcohol on the 20th/21st June 2012... and in fact the police and the crown would would have that evidence because it is the INL News Investigtion Team's understanding that there were two autopcies done on the body of Thomas Allwood by the police and the crown and if there was any sign of alcohol on Thomas Allwood's body this would have shown up on one and/or both of these two autopcies...)
and Kyle Montgomery... but the initial fight was a drunken brawl between the father, John Montgomery and the son, Kyle Montgomery who seem to have both being drinking from the afternoon with the neighbours seeing Kyle Montgomery with what looked like alcohol in the main street at about 1 pm on the 20th June, 2012 then a short later trying to get into his father's house (John Montgomery's house)....
There has been no explanation from anyone ...as to why no one who was at John Montgomery's house at 2 am to 2.30 am did not called the police and/or an ambulance... having realised that Kyle Montgomery was likely to have badly stabbed Thomas Allwood....after according to Crown witness John Montgomery that his son had grabbed a bread knife from John Montgomery's kitchen and ran out to the back garden through the back door to run after Thomas Allwood and came back a few minutes later with blood on the bread knife and admitting to his father John Montgomery that he had just done something bad...it appears that the people there at John Montgomery's house between 10 pm of the 20th June 2012 and around 3.30 am on the 21st June, 2012 included John Montgomery, Margaret Shedden (Galloway)and Kyle Montgomery... these are the people that have declared themselves to have been there... there may well have others there during that time that have not been mentioned by anyone to protect their identity...
Thomas Allwood having left the house and likely have been stabbed at around 2 15 am
and at John Montgomery's house called the police and/or an ambulance ... the question does not seemed to have even been asked by the police, the prosecution or the defence all rather odd .... Thomas Allwood's body was found nearly 3 hours later by three youths.... it is only common sense that if someone at John Montgomery's house had called the police ad an ambulance at about 2 am to 2.15 am, which is when John Montgomery says
his son Kyle Montgomery came back into his house with a bloodied bread knife after according to John Montgomery.. Kyle Montgomery has chased Thomas Allwood after John Allwood had thrown Thomas Allwood out of his house....then there may be every chance that Thomas Allwood would be alive today and notleft to bleed to death on the street for nearly three hours...
No one at the house of John Montgomery seemed to be concerned that Thomas Allwood he had left the house and not come back
after, according to John Montgomery's sworn evidence..
"...He replied: "Him (Kyle) coming back in again about five minutes later. There was blood on the knife."
He said his son, who seemed angry, was holding the weapon in his right hand with his arm out by his side and the blade pointing away from him. Asked what he did next, he said he took the knife from his son and put it back in the cutlery drawer. He told the jury: "I said 'Have you done something bad?' He said 'Yup'."
He replied: "No. I found it very traumatic."Mr Montgomery said his son left the house without saying anything further.
He fell asleep on the sofa and was wakened by police who handcuffed him...."
"...He replied: "Him (Kyle) coming back in again about five minutes later.
There was blood on the knife."
He said his son, who seemed angry, was holding the weapon in his right hand with his arm out by his side and the blade pointing away from him. Asked what he did next, he said he took the knife from his son and put it back in the cutlery drawer. He told the jury: "I said 'Have you done something bad?' He said 'Yup'." Mr Macari said: "Did you ask him what it was?" He replied: "No. I found it very traumatic." Mr Montgomery said his son left the house without saying anything further.
He fell asleep on the sofa and was wakened by police who handcuffed him...." Now it would have been more than obvious that to the father that his son had just stabbed Graham.. if what he says is all true.. and was told by his son that he had done something bad.. and does not ask him what he had done.. and just allowed the son to leave the house and rolled over and went to sleep... not once did we hear.. that he should think of looking to see if Graham was OK ,...by calling the police and/or an ambulance and again where the hell was Margaret Shedden (Galloway) all this time?
There was no mention in his evidence where Maggie was during the time that his son ran out after Graham firstly without a knife and then came back to get a knife and then came back with blood on the knife saying he had done something bad ....all along from the beginning when The INL News Investigation Team tried to put the dots together and all the changing stories coming from Margaret Shedden( Galloway) as to what happened that night. and then the quick arrest of Kyle Montgomery who was very quickly getting all the blame and no possible blame on anyone else that night... based just the evidence of Kyle Montgomery's father
Both the father and Maggie Sheddon ( family name before being married is Galloway) both Maggie Galloway and John Montgomery (The father of Kyle Montgomery) should be also charge accessories to the murder of Thomas Graham Allwood
Had either of them rung the police and an ambulance as soon as Kyle Montgomery came back into the house at about 2.20 am the 21st June, 2012 with a bloodied knife and admitted to the father that he had done something bad then Thomas Graham may well be alive today
It is clear that as far as Margaret Shedden( Galloway) and the father John Montgomery were concerned and others whom may have offered them big money to make sure Thomas Graham Allwood died that night Thomas Graham Allwood could stay lying on the road having been stabbed and not be found until Thomas Allwood is well and truly dead
Just like was done with Princess Diana when as the Executive Intelligence Review stated in a very detailed and well researched article into what they say is the murder of Princess Diana, that the authorities made sure she was left in the Tunnel where the crash happened for about an hour to help her bleed to death, and then the ambulance driver that finally took her to hospital....drove past other hospitals that had the facilities to try and save her life....and also actually sat for 20 odd minutes up the road from the hospital which had been arranged to take her where the France Police Minister was waiting to make sure she had bleed to death before she arrived at the hospital so she could be pronounced dead on arrival
The evidence of John Montgomery, the father of Kyle Montgomery, the accused, who is a prosecution witness, not a defence witness.. shows that he and Maggie Galloway are guilty as sin or helpingThomas Allwood to be left to die... by not calling the police ad an ambulance... but the even more disturbing fact is why have the Scottish Police not already charged with along with Kyle Montgomery with conspiracv to murder ....and why have they both been protected..from any sort of possible prosecution.. who has ordered that they be made immune form prosecution of any crime and why?
This is very damming evidence against the Scottish Police investigators including Det Insp Stuart Houston, who led the Lothian and Borders Police investigation and his assistantDennis Langton DC5325XMajor Investigation Team Lothian and Borders Police dennis.langton@lbp.pnn.police.uk01506 445331who is meant to have been in charge of the Murder investigation

Australian guest knifed ‘by accident’
The Sun Published: 28th November 2012
Victim ... Thomas Allwood
A MURDER accused told a trial yesterday he stabbed an Aussie house guest by accident.
Kyle Montgomery, 24, said he picked up a knife for “protection” in dad Robert’s kitchen when a boozy row with Thomas Allwood erupted in violence.
The High Court in Livingston heard he hoped to “scare off” Mr Allwood, 55, after the journalist attacked him.
Montgomery, of Winchburgh, West Lothian, said he had no memory of striking the fatal blow during the bust-up in Broxburn in June.
He told a jury: “My intention was to get him away from the house.”
Montgomery denies the murder of Mr Allwood. The trial continues.
Thomas Allwood: The 55-year-old was found dead in Broxburn earlier this year.
A father has told a murder trial that a man he invited home from the pub tried to strangle his son during an argument about a woman.
Robert Montgomery said he threw Thomas Allwood out of his home minutes later, but his son Kyle followed him armed with a bread knife.
He returned a short time later with the blade covered in blood, the High Court at Livingston was told on Tuesday.
Kyle Montgomery, 24, has pleaded not guilty to murdering Australian journalist Mr Allwood, 55, on June 21.
Montgomery, from Winchburgh, West Lothian, denies assaulting the deceased, repeatedly punching him on the head and body, pursuing him with a knife and striking him on the body with a knife.
Mr Montgomery, 65, a self-confessed alcoholic, told how he had gone drinking in a local pub that night after his son gave him £20 for Father's Day. He befriended Mr Allwood and his girlfriend Maggie in a pub in Broxburn, West Lothian, and invited them back to his house for a drink.
When they got there, Maggie sat down beside the accused while Mr Montgomery and the Australian sat talking on another couch. He said he felt uncomfortable because he thought the woman, who was in her 40s, was behaving "inappropriately" towards his son, rubbing his hand and putting her head in his lap.
He asked Mr Allwood "are you going to do something about that?" and he responded - "he can have her".
Mr Montgomery went upstairs to the toilet at around 2am and returned a few minutes later to find his son pinned to the floor by Mr Allwood. He said the Australian had his foot on the younger man's chest and both hands clamped around his neck "strangling him".
He told the jury: "I could see the fear in Kyle's eyes. I told him (Allwood) to get off and he ran out the back door. He came back about 10 minutes later. He was banging on the back door real loud. I opened it and he tried to come through the door like a raging bull, going for Kyle. Kyle got up, pushed me out of the way and pushed him out into the back garden." A few minutes later his son also left the house, but returned shortly afterwards, pulled open a kitchen drawer and grabbed a bread knife.
He said: "Kyle was really furious at that point. I tried to take it (the knife) from him but he held it up above his head. He's a lot taller than me. He went out with it."
Mr Montgomery said he did not hear or see anything happening outside because he remained inside, sitting on the sofa.
Advocate depute Martin Macari asked him: "What's the next thing you remember happening?"
He replied: "Him (Kyle) coming back in again about five minutes later. There was blood on the knife."
He said his son, who seemed angry, was holding the weapon in his right hand with his arm out by his side and the blade pointing away from him. Asked what he did next, he said he took the knife from his son and put it back in the cutlery drawer.
He told the jury: "I said 'Have you done something bad?' He said 'Yup'."
Mr Macari said: "Did you ask him what it was?"
He replied: "No. I found it very traumatic."
Mr Montgomery said his son left the house without saying anything further. He fell asleep on the sofa and was wakened by police who handcuffed him.
Under cross-examination by defence counsel Derek Ogg, Mr Montgomery confirmed he had told police the Australian man had said something like "I'll kill him" as he was throttling the accused.
He added: "Kyle was really scared and wasn't fighting back."
Mr Montgomery said his son had been treated for depression after being bullied at school for having an English accent. He described the accused as a "sensitive" character, who was a "brilliant" chess player.
A man has appeared in court charged with murder following the death of a 55-year-old man in West Lothian last week. Thomas Allwood was found by members of the public lying across Pyothall Road in Broxburn at about 04:45 on Thursday. Kyle Montgomery, 24, of Winchburgh, appeared on petition at Livingston Sheriff Court.
Australian visitor died in the street after being stabbed in chest
Thomas Allwood: The 55-year-old was found dead in the street.
An Australian visitor to Scotland died in the street of a small town after being stabbed once with a knife.
On Monday, a jury was told Thomas Allwood's body was found in Broxburn, West Lothian, in the early hours of June 21 this year. At the High Court at Livingston, the prosecution and defence agreed the cause of death was a single stab wound to the 55-year-old investigative journalist's chest. Kyle Montgomery, 24, is on trial after pleading not guilty to murdering Mr Allwood. Montgomery, from Winchburgh, West Lothian, denies assaulting the Mr Allwood on various occasions on the night he died, repeatedly punching him on the head and body, pursuing him with a knife and striking him on the body with a knife. The attacks are alleged to have happened in Galloway Crescent, Clarkson Road and elsewhere in Broxburn. Mr Allwood was found by members of the public lying in Pyothall Road, near Clarkson Road, at about 4:45am. June Douglas, 44, who lives next door to Montgomery's father Robert in Galloway Crescent, said she saw the accused in the street at around 1pm on June 20 carrying a bag which she assumed contained alcohol.
A few minutes later she saw him at the door of his father's home trying to get in. She told the court her neighbour
was a known alcoholic and frequently caused a nuisance. In the early hours of the following morning
she said she was startled by a loud bang on the wall of her bedroom just after 3am.
She said: "It was as if somebody was going to come through the wall. It gave me a start - I'd never heard anything like the bang.
I just took it that they were fighting and banging off the walls. It was something that happened all the time."
Under cross examination by defence advocate Derek Ogg,
Ms Douglas agreed Mr Montgomery's house was "used like a drinking den". She added: "It was like living next door to a pub."
Her friend Christopher McDonald, 31, who was staying with her at the time, said loud music, banging and the sound of raised voices had continued long after Ms Douglas had gone to bed. He was also startled by the loud noise at around 3.15am. He said: "The bang was the one thing that was out of the ordinary. I just assumed they were fighting again.
The whole house shook."
He said he identified the sound of four voices in Mr Montgomery's one-bedroom maisonette that night.
Things went quiet after the bang, then he said he heard someone leave by the back door.
He told the jury: "Someone went out quietly. The door was never closed quietly.
What drew my attention was that it wasn't slammed. Later - after 5 0'clock - I heard really loud voices from the garden.
"I got really angry at that point. I pulled aside the curtain and I was ready to go mental, but the police were there."
Earlier barmaid Lisa Feenan, 30, said the accused's father Mr Montgomery had left the Badger's Brook pub
in Broxburn just after 10 pm on June 20 with a man she knew only as "the Australian".
She said Mr Montgomery had been drinking Guinness in the bar for an hour and a half but the Australian visitor,
who was with a woman she knew as Margaret, had only taken soft drinks.
In a joint minute of agreement read to the jury, the Crown produced technical evidence,
including records of mobile phone calls by the accused, his father Robert and Tina Borst.
CCTV footage from cameras in Broxburn Main Street and the Badger's Brook pub was lodged as evidence along with a recording of a 999 call made by witness James McMillan on the morning of the incident.
A till receipt for cigarettes and a lighter from the Costcutter store at Fairfield Service Station along with CCTV film captured just before 5am have also been lodged.

Haywicks Farm was to be used as a film set for a new film
that is being written by the INL News Screen Play writer called
"Fraud and Murder in Haywicks Lane"
staring:
against Owen Rhys Actions as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, High Court Master Teverson, High Court Judge Mann, High Court Judge David Richards, Master Price,HM Land Registry, Treasury Solicitors, Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale, HM Land Registry lawyer Katharine Brothers, Gloucester Land Registrar Julie Jenkins, HM Land Registrar clerk Sarah Canipel, HM Land Registrar clerk Claire Francis, HM Land Registrar clerk David Hodges, Peter Leslie Urquhart, Jaqueline Ann Urquhart, Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson, Attorneys Langley Wellington, Julie Williams, and others for being involved with a conspiracy to defraud the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE and well as being involved with a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers and Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale breaching her sworn duties and obligations as an attorney and for serious criminal contempts of court for knowingly presenting false and misleading facts, information and law to the High Court of Justice.
The concept of the names used in the film is based on the way the series of books the Triumph of Truth (Who is watching The Watchers?) written by Stephen Carew-Reid and published by the Australian Weekend News a subsidiary of the INL News Group, have been written in that the real name of those mentioned in the books are used to expose the guilty. So the real names of those involved of the fraud and murder of the Late Herbert Henry Butler and the conspiracy to defraud his only child Valerie Ann Butler of her lawful rights to Haywicks Farm will be used in the film to expose the guilty. The film as the books are based on the truth so any attempt to sue for civil or criminal defamation will be vigorously defended by the INL News Group based on the fact the information is the truth and it is in the public interest to show the world of the wrongful actions of those involved in the fraud and murder of the Late Herbert Henry Butler and the conspiracy to defraud his only child Valerie Ann Butler of her lawful rights to Haywicks Far, which includes the wrongful way the High Court of Justice and the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and the masters, clerks, adjudicators, judges and the staff at Treasury Solicitors and HM Land Registry involved have operated in a wrongful, illegal, immoral and corrupt way to help their Freemason brothers Peter Urquhart and is Freemason legal and investment partners end up with thetitle of Haywicks Farm into the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqeline Ann Urquhart by fraudulent, wrongful, illegal, immoral and corrupt means.

that started in 1983 with the Murder of the Late Henry Herbert Butler and the forging of his will by well known Freemason solicitor Simon James Fisher at the time working for Freemason Eggleton Solicitors who were struck off from being solicitors by the Legal Complaints Tribunal, who then handed their legal files to Madge Lloyd Gibson, who knowing the will was a forgery presented the false will to the Probate Office for as fraudulent Grant of Probate to be issued, all with the long term aim of defrauding the Later Herbert Henry Butler and his only child, Valerie Ann Butler of their legal right to ownership of their 25 acres and farm house known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Gloucester, GL2 3QE and have Haywicks farm fraudulently transferred into two of the fraud conspirators names Peter Leslie Urquhart and his wife Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, who had been legal clients of Eggletons solicitors and Madge Lloyd Gibson for over 30 years, who planned to hold the property as a front for all the other Freemason solicitors and ex-solicitors who are based in the Gloucester area including the Eccleton Family and their family development company Egdon Estates and Madge Lloyd Gibson and Langley Wellington solicitors who are commonly known as Gloucestershire's Legal Mafia (GLM).

John Carew-Reid Claimant and Apellant
And
Gary Roger Jouai and Ors Defendants and Respondents
I, Andrew May, investigator for the INL News Legal and Investigation Team, based at 15 Home Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9JR
I have been authorised to make this statement on behalf of the claimants and appellants in Chancery Appeal Ref: CH/2011/0567 Claim No: HC11C00473
On the evidence the INL News Legal and Investigation Team, that has been collected and gathered covering the period 1980 t0 2012 there seems no doubt that there has been a serious criminal and civil conspiracy to defraud , conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, , along with serious criminal contempts of court for knowingly presenting false and misleading facts, information and law to the High Court of Justice, malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers committed by the following in different ways and levels that have been for the main purpose of helping well know Freemason Peter Leslie Urqhuart and Jacqueline Urquhart their Freemasons legal and business partners defraud Valerie Ann Butler and her partners Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood of their lawfuls rights to the ownership, equity ad possession of the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE:.
against Owen Rhys Actions as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, High Court Master Teverson, High Court Judge Mann, High Court Judge David Richards, Master Price,HM Land Registry, Treasury Solicitors, Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale, HM Land Registry lawyer Katharine Brothers,Gloucester Land Registrar Julie Jenkins, HM Land Registrar clerk Sarah Canipel, HM Land Registrar clerk Claire Francis, HM Land Registrar clerk David Hodges, Peter Leslie Urquhart, Jaqueline Ann Urquhart, Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson, Attorneys Langley Wellington, Julie Williams, and others..
It is noted that judges, masters and/or adjudicators have been accused of playing a wrongful part of these civil and criminal wrongs. Please note that in a judicial journal that is fully quoted and referenced in the series of books called The Triumph of Truth ( Who Is Watching The Watchers?) written by Stephen Carew-Reid and published by the Australian Weekend News a subsidiary of the INL News Group, the previous Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia, the highest court in Australia which has a similar and/or higher legal standing as Supreme Court in England states:
“If judges and magistrates think the law of contempt of court is there to protect themselves from criticism., then they are ignorant of the law....” Justice Mann for example has ignored the law set and confirmed by Justice Morgan in HC11C00580 whereby Justice Mann has approved the issue of a high court claim by Janice Pritchard as trustee for Robert Carter and John Carew-Reid when Justice Morgan is fully aware that not only is Janice Pritchard not a qualified lawyer or attorney, but is also a mentally unwell and unstable woman with no legal knowledge or experience. So Justice Morgan hs set a solid legal precedent in English Law in his rulings in HC11C00580 and Justice Mann can not say he did not have knowledge of this case, because Justice Mann admitted in court on the 22nd March, 2012 that he had studied HC11C00580, in detail because he wanted to use this case in support of Justice Mann desperately wanting to find a way of having a legal excuse to issue orders of a civil restraint order against John Carew-Reid from being able to issue any further applications and/or claims concerning legal arguments as to the ownership of Haywicks Farm to try and help his Freemasons Brothers Peter Leslie Urquhart and his Freemason legal and business partners to illegally, fraudulently, corruptly and wrongly obtain the title deed of Haywicks Farm into the name of Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, because Justice Mann’s sworn oath to Freemasonary is more important to him that his oath to apply to law in a fair, honest and proper way as a judge in the High Court of Justice. That is why all judges, magistrates and adjudicators presiding in any court or hearing have to before they start the hearing openly declare if their a freemason and if they are, and if either of the parties involved in the litigation and/or legal representatives are Freemasons, and/or any of the parties have been involved in publicly or privately campaigning against the wrongful use of the Freemasonary Brothership etc, then they have to immediately resign form hearing the case because of an obvious and potential bias. The court is reminded that the law has to be fair and just but also seen to be fair and just, and when there is the possibility of any possible bias, and/or even the belief of a possible bias, then a judges, magistrates and adjudicators presiding in any court or hearing will have to immediately resign from dealing with the case to keep the law seen to be fair And just in the eyes of the general public.
The full evidence and details of serious criminal and civil conspiracy to defraud , conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, , along with serious criminal contempts of court for knowingly presenting false and misleading facts, information and law to the High Court of Justice, malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers committed by the following in different ways and levels that have been for the main purpose of helping well know Freemason Peter Leslie Urqhuart and Jacqueline Urquhart their Freemasons legal and business partners defraud Valerie Ann Butler and her partners Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood of their lawfuls rights to the ownership, equity ad possession of the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE:.

Annexed hereto and marked with the letters “AM1” is a true copy of a page on the www.awn.bz website that has been published worldwide taken from the www.awn.bz website on the 24th May, 2012. It is my understanding that none of the information on this webpage and other web pages has been disputed by anyone to the webpage publishers and none has even written to the publishers of the webpage to even complain about the statements and information on published worldwide on this web page., even after the INL News Legal and Investigation Team have emailed this information to some of the main conspirators being attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale, Katharine Brothers of HM Land Registry, Owen Rhys Acting ad Adjudicator for H Land Registry, Peter Leslie Urquhart, the Chief Justice of the High Court of Justice and others with no objection coming back to say any of them object this information being published on the world internet after been warned that it was to be published on the world internet.
It is important that Justice Mann or any other judge dealing with any application, judgement, and/or any proposed orders concerning action HC11C004673 and/or a full appeal of this appeal CH/2011/0567 and/or any other court hearing concerning Haywicks Farm before making any judgement or order.
It is noted that there is an application that has been listed in action HC11C004673 and/or a full appeal of this appeal CH/2011/0567 which due to be heard at 10.30 am on the 24th July, 2012 in Court 10 in the Rolls Building, London requesting orders be made that the orders made by Justice Mann in action HC11C004673 and/or a full appeal of this appeal CH/2011/0567 on the 22nd March, 2012 be set aside and/or deemed null and void and of no legal effect and for Justice Mann be removed from dealing with any proposed extended civil restraint order application due to be listed in action HC11C004673 and/or a full appeal of this appeal CH/2011/0567 as ordered by Justice Mann. I maintain that it is highly inappropriate for the listings office of the High Court of Justice to have listed proposed extended civil restraint order application inaction HC11C004673 and/or a full appeal of this appeal CH/2011/0567 as ordered by Justice Mann, prior to the hearing set down for the 24th July, 2012 as aforementioned and state that the hearing listed on the 25th May, 2012 should be vacated and be relisted for hearing at 10/30 am in court 10 in the Rolls Building on the 24th July, 2012. It is also noted that there are other matters also listed concerning Mr carew-Reid and the INL News Group also listed on the 24th July, 2012 and an attorney will be present to argue and present the claimant’s and appellents case and argument and it would be highly inappropriate, unfair and wrong as well a be a travesty of justice of the hearing set down for the 25th May, 2012 for the issue of a proposed extended civil restraint order application due to be listed in action HC11C004673 and/or a full appeal of this appeal CH/2011/0567 as ordered by Justice Mann, without Mr Carew-Reid having the opportunity to have an attorney present to argue his case, who has been booked to attend the hearing on the 24th July, 2012. So I request that the court vacate the hearing on the 25th May, 2012 and relist it for 10.30am on the 24th July, 2012 in court 10 Rolls building London.
I believe the facts stated in this witness statement are true.

Farm in the name of Valerie Ann Butler. Also the HM Land Registry are on notice that they must allow the registration of the UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged by Stephen Carew-Reid on the 17th May, 2012 against Haywicks Farm to protect the interests
and/or ownership in Haywicks Farm of Stephen Carew-Reid, Valerie Ann Butler and Thomas Allwood and it would be illegal, wrongful and/or
corrupt for them not to do so. HM Land Registry are well aware from the court order of Justice Iyer made the 29th December, 2012 as
attached states that I ( Valerie Ann Butler) and the rightful sole administrator and executor of the estate of my Late father Herbert
Henry Butler and the owner of my Late Fathers interests in Haywicks Farm which can be now divided into two sections:
(a) The part right to possession and ownership of Haywicks Farm that Peter Leslie and Jacqeline Ann Urquhart claim to have purchased for
660,000 pounds
(b) the part right to possession and ownership that is set out in the overage agreement and restriction that has been placed over the title
of Haywicks Farm by the said Gary Roger Jouai.
We appreciate the HM Land Registry and the Urquharts are arguing that the UN1 and RX1 notices lodged by Stephen Carew-Reid over part
(a)should not be allowed to be registered, which we do not agree is correct, however in the light of the order made by Justice Iyer on the
29th December, 2011 in 1MA3045 as attached, that there can be no dispute or doubt that the UN1 and RX1 Notices from HM Land Registry
and Peter Leslie and Jacqeline Ann Urquhart are rightfully lodged to protect my and my two partners, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood
ownership and interests in Haywicks Farm that relates to part
(b) being the part right to possession and ownership that is set out in the overage agreement and restriction that has been placed over the title of Haywicks Farm by the said Gary Roger Jouai.

and for serious criminal contempts of court for knowingly presenting false and misleading facts, information and law to the High Court of
Justice which will no doubt lead to the removal of her license to practice as a barrister in the United Kingdom.
You are well aware of the details and particulars of the serious civil and criminal wrongs you all have been involved with a conspiracy to
pervert the course of justice, malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers and Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale
breaching her sworn duties and obligations as an attorney and for serious criminal contempts of court for knowingly presenting false and
misleading facts, information and law to the High Court of Justice.
Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood have obviously suffered direct damages for the loss of the potential value
of the property known as Haywicks Farm as a result of your criminal and civil wrongs committed against them, which is estimated over 20
million pounds sterling because of the long term potential development of the property. However there is another substantial loss because
Haywicks Farm was ot be used as a film set for a new film that is being written by the INL News Screen Play writer called "Fraud and Murder in Haywicks Lane"
staring:
against Owen Rhys Actions as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, High Court Master Teverson, High Court Judge Mann, High Court Judge David
Richards, Master Price,HM Land Registry, Treasury Solicitors, Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale, HM Land Registry lawyer Katharine Brothers,
Gloucester Land Registrar Julie Jenkins, HM Land Registrar clerk Sarah Canipel, HM Land Registrar clerk Claire Francis, HM Land Registrar
clerk David Hodges, Peter Leslie Urquhart, Jaqueline Ann Urquhart, Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson, Attorneys Langley Wellington, Julie Williams, and others for being involved with a conspiracy to defraud the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE and well as being involved with a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, malfeasance, collusion and dereliction
of duty of public officers and Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale breaching her sworn duties and obligations as an attorney and for
serious criminal contempts of court for knowingly presenting false and misleading facts, information and law to the High Court of Justice.
The concept of the names used in the film is based on the way the series of books the Triumph of Truth (Who is watching The Watchers?)
written by Stephen Carew-Reid and published by the Australian Weekend News a subsidiary of the INL News Group, have been written in that the
real name of those mentioned in the books are used to expose the guilty. So the real names of those involved of the fraud and murder of
the Late Herbert Henry Butler and the conspiracy to defraud his only child Valerie Ann Butler of her lawful rights to Haywicks Farm will be
used in the film to expose the guilty. The film as the books are based on the truth so any attempt to sue for civil or criminal defamation
will be vigorously defended by the INL News Group based on the fact the information is the truth and it is in the public interest to show
the world of the wrongful actions of those involved in the fraud and murder of the Late Herbert Henry Butler and the conspiracy to defraud
his only child Valerie Ann Butler of her lawful rights to Haywicks FarM, which includes the wrongful way the High Court of Justice and the
office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and the masters, clerks, adjudicators, judges and the staff at Treasury Solicitors and HM Land
Registry involved have operated in a wrongful, illegal, immoral and corrupt way to help their Freemason brothers Peter Urquhart and is
Freemason legal and investment partners end up with the title of Haywicks Farm into the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqeline Ann Urquhart
by fraudulent, wrongful, illegal, immoral and corrupt means.
So the unfortunate thing is that because you helped Freemason Peter Urquhart and is Freemason legal and investment partners end up with
the title of Haywicks Farm into the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqeline Ann Urquhart by fraudulent, wrongful, illegal, immoral and corrupt
means, this has meant that the INL News Group can not use Haywicks Farm as the film set for the film that is being written by the INL News Screen Play writer called "Fraud and Murder in Haywicks Lane"
and thus the film can not go-ahead as planned which will cause in excess of one million pounds sterling in damages. The INL News Group
had agreed to pay Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood 100 million pounds for the use of the farm and for them to be
in the film living at Haywicks Farm after legal possession had finally been obtained by them. However, you all have acted is wrongful,
illegal, immoral and corrupt way to help their Freemason brothers Peter Urquhart and is Freemason legal and investment partners end up
with the title of Haywicks Farm into the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqeline Ann Urquhart by fraudulent, wrongful, illegal, immoral and
corrupt means, which means that Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood will not longer be paid the 100 million pounds
sterling for the use of Haywicks Farm which included them being filmed living in the house after winning their court cases to obtain the
title deed and possession of Haywicks Farm So please be on notice that unless HM Land Registry immediately place
the title deed in the name of Valerie Ann Butler pursuant to the orders of Judge Iyer of the Manchester Registry of the High Court of
Justice Chancery Division made 29th December, 2011 which orders HM Land Registry to register the title of Haywicks Farm into the name of
Valerie Ann Butter, Owen Rhys Actions as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, High Court
Master Teverson, High Court Judge Mann, High Court Judge David Richards, Master Price,HM Land Registry, Treasury Solicitors, Attorney
Marie Clair Bleasdale, HM Land Registry lawyer Katharine Brothers, Gloucester Land Registrar Julie Jenkins, HM Land Registrar clerk Sarah

pervert the course of justice, malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers and serious criminal contempts of court for
knowingly presenting false and misleading facts, information and law to the High Court of Justice, will be sued for damages for in excess
of one billion pounds sterling by the INL News Group, its shareholders, partners and financiers and sued by Valerie Ann Butler,
Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood for in excess of 100 million pounds in damages, also for 50,000 pounds sterling a day in damages
for every day the property title of Haywicks Lane stays in the name of Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and not put in the name of
Valerie Ann Urquhart,
We also note this copy of a letter send to you by Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood demanding that the UN1 and RX1
Notices lodged against the title deed of Haywicks Farm over both or either the new of old title number and that it would be illegal,
corrupt and wrongful for HM Land Registry to reject the registration of these UN1 and RX1 Notices as per the reason provided and many other
legal reasons
“ We noted from the new title search for Haywicks Farm, that the said Gary Roger Jouai has lodged a restriction notice pursuant to the
overage agreement in the contracts between the Urquharts and the said# Gary Roger Jouai, whch say that for 20 years any increase in value
over the purchase price of £660,000 has to be paid to the vendor. Now because of the court order dated the 29th December 2011 in 1MA3045
whereby the original grant of probate in favour of the said Gary Roger Jouai for my late father Herbert Henry Butler is null and void and of
no legal effect, and I am, the the rightful administrator of the well and the rightful owner of Haywicks Farm, then I and my two partners in
Haywicks Farm who we claim have the right to be the registered owners of Haywicks Farm, regardless of the dispute about the registration of
the title deed between us and the Urquharts, there is no doubt in law and in fact that myself, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood own all
the rights to right retristcion notice, not the said Gary Roger Jouai, so the UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged over Haywicks Farm by Stephen
Carew-Reid using both the news and old title numbers are validly lodged and should not be rejected or removed by HM Land Registry, even
though the property has now been ( we say quite illegally and wrongly) registered in the name of the Urquharts, however in the mean time
before this is sorted put in court to get the title into the correct names of Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood,
Stephen Carew-Reid's UN1 and RX1 notices should have to stay registered over the title deed of Haywicks Farm to at lease if nothing
else from the titles office point of view to protect out interests in the restriction notice lodged on the title deed at present with consent
of the Urquharts
WE also put you and HM Land Registry on notice that unless HM Land Registry put the title into the correct names of Valerie Ann Butler,
Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood, an amount over over £100 million damages will be demanded from yourself and HM Land Registry
and other involved in the conspiracy to defraud our rights to ownership of Haywicks Farm

Dear Ms Brothers
Further to our earlier emails,
You and HM Land Registry known full well that Claim HC12C00678 has been properly and formally served on HM Land Registry and the office
of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and in fact Treasury Solicitors have lodged a notice and submissions in relation to this claim which
the whole claim is requesting a stay and set aside orders on the orders of Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry made on the 16th February, 2012, and you and HM Land Registry are deliberately and knowingly lying in your letters including the last one this afternoon when you say that
"...Your application for a stay of the order of the Adjudicator dated 16 February 2012 has not been properly issued by the court and served on Land Registry....''
The application has been sealed by the High Court the fees have been paid on the claim in cash and HM Land Registry and the Adjudicator to
HM Land Registry have been served with a sealed copy of the claim andmTreasurer Solicitors have acknowledged service on behalf of HM Land
Registry and the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry.
So your attempts to that effect of the orders of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry dated the 16th February, 2012 is illegal, fraudulent,
corrupt and aids and abets a serious conspiracy to defraud and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and You and the other HM
Land Registry Staff continue to act in an illegal, wrongful and corrupt way and continue to commit criminal and civil offences of
staff in the HM Land Registry in Gloucester which are legally described as Malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers.

Re: One Billion damages claimed by the INL News Group and its shareholders, partners and financiers, Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid, Thomas Allwood, against Owen Rhys Actions as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, High Court Master Teverson, High Court Judge Mann, High Court Judge David Richards, Master Price,HM Land Registry, Treasury Solicitors, Attroney Marie Clair Bleasdale, HM Land Registry lawyer Katharine Brothers, Gloucester Land Registrar Julie Jenkins, HM Land Registrar clerk Sarah Canipel, HM Land Registrar clerk Claire Francis, HM Land Registrar clerk David Hodges, Peter Leslie Urquhart, Jaqueline Ann Urquhart, Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson, Attorneys Langley Wellington, Julie Williams, and others for being involved with a conspiracy to defraud the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE and well as being involved with a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers and Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale breaching her sworn duties and obligations as an attorney and for serious criminal contempts of court for knowingly presenting false and misleading facts, information and law to the High Court of Justice which will no doubt lead to the removal of her license to practice as a barrister in the United Kingdom.
You are well aware of the details and particulars of the serious civil and criminal wrongs you all have been involved with a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers and Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale breaching her sworn duties and obligations as an attorney and for serious criminal contempts of court for knowingly presenting false and misleading facts, information and law to the High Court of Justice.
Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood have obviously suffered direct damages for the loss of the potential value of the property known as Haywicks Farm as a result of your criminal and civil wrongs committed against them, which is estimated over 20 million pounds sterling because of the long term potential development of the property. However there is another substantial loss because Haywicks Farm was to be used as a film set for a new film that is being written by the INL News Screen Play writer called
"Fraud and Murder in Haywicks Lane"
staring:
against Owen Rhys Actions as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, High Court Master Teverson, High Court Judge Mann, High Court Judge David Richards, Master Price,HM Land Registry, Treasury Solicitors, Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale, HM Land Registry lawyer Katharine Brothers, Gloucester Land Registrar Julie Jenkins, HM Land Registrar clerk Sarah Canipel, HM Land Registrar clerk Claire Francis, HM Land Registrar clerk David Hodges, Peter Leslie Urquhart, Jaqueline Ann Urquhart, Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson, Attorneys Langley Wellington, Julie Williams, and others for being involved with a conspiracy to defraud the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE and well as being involved with a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers and Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale breaching her sworn duties and obligations as an attorney and for serious criminal contempts of court for knowingly presenting false and misleading facts, information and law to the High Court of Justice.
The concept of the names used in the film is based on the way the series of books the Triumph of Truth (Who is watching The Watchers?) written by Stephen Carew-Reid and published by the Australian Weekend News a subsidiary of the INL News Group, have been written in that the real name of those mentioned in the books are used to expose the guilty. So the real names of those involved of the fraud and murder of the Late Herbert Henry Butler and the conspiracy to defraud his only child Valerie Ann Butler of her lawful rights to Haywicks Farm will be used in the film to expose the guilty. The film as the books are based on the truth so any attempt to sue for civil or criminal defamation will be vigorously defended by the INL News Group based on the fact the information is the truth and it is in the public interest to show the world of the wrongful actions of those involved in the fraud and murder of the Late Herbert Henry Butler and the conspiracy to defraud his only child Valerie Ann Butler of her lawful rights to Haywicks Far, which includes the wrongful way the High Court of Justice and the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and the masters, clerks, adjudicators, judges and the staff at Treasury Solicitors and HM Land Registry involved have operated in a wrongful, illegal, immoral and corrupt way to help their Freemason brothers Peter Urquhart and is Freemason legal and investment partners end up with the title of Haywicks Farm into the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqeline Ann Urquhart by fraudulent, wrongful, illegal, immoral and corrupt means.
So the unfortunate thing is that because you helped Freemason Peter Urquhart and is Freemason legal and investment partners end up with the title of Haywicks Farm into the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqeline Ann Urquhart by fraudulent, wrongful, illegal, immoral and corrupt means, this has meant that the INL News Group can not use Haywicks Farm as the film set for the film
that is being written by the INL News Screen Play writer called
"Fraud and Murder in Haywicks Lane"
and thus the film can not go-ahead as planned which will cause in excess of one million pounds sterling in damages. The INL News Group had agreed to pay Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood 100 million pounds for the use of the farm and for them to be in the film living at Haywicks Farm after legal possession had finally been obtained by them. However, you all have acted is wrongful, illegal, immoral and corrupt way to help their Freemason brothers Peter Urquhart and is Freemason legal and investment partners end up with the title of Haywicks Farm into the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqeline Ann Urquhart by fraudulent, wrongful, illegal, immoral and corrupt means, which means that Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood will not longer be paid the 100 million pounds sterling for the use of Haywicks Farm which included them being filmed living in the house after winning their court cases to obtain the title deed and possession of Haywicks Farm
So please be on notice that unless HM Land Registry immediately place the title deed in the name of Valerie Ann Butler pursuant to the orders of Judge Iyer of the Manchester Registry of the High Court of Justice Chancery Division made 29th December, 2011 which orders HM Land Registry to register the title of Haywicks Farm into the name of Valerie Ann Butter,
Owen Rhys Actions as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, High Court Master Teverson, High Court Judge Mann, High Court Judge David Richards, Master Price,HM Land Registry, Treasury Solicitors, Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale, HM Land Registry lawyer Katharine Brothers, Gloucester Land Registrar Julie Jenkins, HM Land Registrar clerk Sarah Canipel, HM Land Registrar clerk Claire Francis, HM Land Registrar clerk David Hodges, Peter Leslie Urquhart, Jaqueline Ann Urquhart, Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson, Attorneys Langley Wellington, Julie Williams, and others for being involved with a conspiracy to defraud the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE and well as being involved with a conspiracy to pervert the course of justice, malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers and serious criminal contempts of court for knowingly presenting false and misleading facts, information and law to the High Court of Justice, will be sued for damages for in excess of one billion pounds sterling by the INL News Group, its shareholders, partners and financiers and sued by Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood for in excess of 100 million pounds in damages, also for 50,000 pounds sterling a day in damages for every day the property title of Haywicks Lane stays in the name of Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and not put in the name of Valerie Ann Urquhart,
We also note this copy of a letter send to you by Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood demanding that the UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged against the title deed of Haywicks Farm over both or either the new of old title number and that it would be illegal, corrupt and wrongful for HM Land Registry to reject the registration of these UN1 and RX1 Notices as per the reason provided and many other legal reasons
“ We noted from the new title search for Haywicks Farm, that the said Gar Roger Jouai has lodged a restriction notice pursuant to the overage agreement in the contracts between the Urquharts and the said Gary Roger Jouai, whch say that for 20 years any increase in value over the purchase price of £660,000 has to be paid to the vendor.
Now because of the court order dated the 29th December 2011 in 1MA3045 whereby the original grant of probate in favour of the said Gary Roger Jouai for my late father Herbert Henry Butler is null and void and of no legal effect, and I am, the the rightful administrator of the well and the rightful owner of Haywicks Farm, then I and my two partners in Haywicks Farm who we claim have the right to be the registered owners of Haywicks Farm, regardless of the dispute about the registration of the title deed between us and the Urquharts, there is no doubt in law and in fact that myself, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood own all the rights to right retristcion notice, not the said Gary Roger Jouai, so the UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged over Haywicks Farm by Stephen Carew-Reid using both the news and old title numbers are validly lodged and should not be rejected or removed by HM Land Registry, eve though the property has now been ( we say quite illegally and wrongly) registered in the name of the Urquharts, however in the mean time before this is sorted put in court to get the title into the correct names of Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood, Stephen Carew-Reid's UN1 and RX1 notices should have to stay registered over the title deed of Haywicks Farm to at lease if nothing else from the titles office point of view to protect out interests int he restriction notice lodged on the title deed at present with consent of the Urquharts
WE also put you and HM Land Registry on notice that unless HM Land Registry put the title into the correct names of Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood, an amount over over £100 million damages will be demanded from yourself and HM Land Registry and other involved in the conspiracy to defraud our rights to ownership of Haywicks Farm

Dear Ms Brothers
Further to our earlier emails,
You and HM Land Registry known full well that Claim HC12C00678 has been properly and formally served on HM Land Registry and the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and in fact Treasury Solicitors have lodged a notice and submissions in relation to this claim which the whole claim is requesting a stay and set aside orders on the orders of Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry made on the 16th February, 2012, and you and HM Land Registry are deliberately and knowingly lying in your letters including the last one this afternoon when you say that
"...Your application for a stay of the order of the Adjudicator dated 16 February 2012 has not been properly issued by the court and served on Land Registry....''
The application has been sealed by the High Court the fees have been paid on the claim in cash and HM Land Registry and the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry have been served with a sealed copy of the claim and Treasurer Solicitors have acknowledged service on behalf of HM Land Registry and the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry.
So your attempts to that effect of the orders of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry dated the 16th February, 2012 is illegal, fraudulent, corrupt and aids and abets a serious conspiracy to defraud and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and You and the other HM Land Registry Staff continue to act in an illegal, wrongful and corrupt way and continue to commit criminal and civil offences of staff in the HM Land Registry in Gloucester which are legally described as
Malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers.

These internal HM Land Registry memos and records created by the Gloucester HM Land Registry Office dated from 6th January, 2011 till 17th May, 2012 show conclusive evidence of conspiracy to defraud and conspiracy to pervert the course of justice along with other criminal and civil offences committed by yourself and other staff in the HM Land Registry in Gloucester which are legally described as Malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers.

You will no doubt be called as a witness when this all comes to a full trial. civil and criminal to explains the full meaning of these ans other application references. The factual reality that you and the other HM Land Registry Staff and the Treasury Solicitors involve din advising you and HM Land Registry in this matter are well aware of is that application notices were lodged over the title deed of Haywicks Farm from the 6th January, 2011 by Valerie Butler/Jouai's London Solicitors Simmons Muirhead & Burton and two different sets of UNI and RX1 Notices were also lodged with HM Land Registry which arrived at HM Land Registry on the 12th January, 2011 which were deliberately lost by HM Registry Staff and the second set arriving on the 18th January, 2011.. which were corruptly withheld from being placed on the day list on the 27th January, 2011 at14:17:04 being very conveniently till two hours after the transfer lodged on the 27th January, 2011 at 12:02:59 by Madge Lloyd Gibson attempting to have Haywicks Farm transferred from the name of the said Gary Roger Jouai to Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, as a favour to the two most powerfully connected Freemason controlled and owned legal firms in Gloucester, being Madge Lloyd Gibson and Langley Wellington, who are well known in Gloucester as the Gloucester Legal Mafia, so that they try corruptly,illegally and wrongly with the help of yourself and HM Land Registry Staff to push through the registration of the transfer of Haywicks Farm title deed to defraud Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai and her partners of their rightful ownership in Haywicks Farm, by falsely pretending that a priority interest had not been lodged over the title deed of Haywicks Farm prior to such transfer being lodged.
Please note that if what you say is true, that you have on the 21st May, 2012 completed the processing of the transfer to have Haywicks Farm transferred from the name of the said Gary Roger Jouai to Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, without waiting for the outcome of the stay and setaside applications inn HC12C00678 and the orders sought in HC11C004156 declare the contracts between the said Gary Roger Jouai and Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, null and void and of no legal effect, and the outcome of the set aside application in HC11C00473 which has been set down for hearing on the 24th July, 2012 in the High Court of Justice and have deliberately ignore the court order made by Justice Iyer in 1MA3045 on the 29th December, 2011 ordering HM Land Registry to amend the title deed of Haywicks Farm from showing the registered owner as being the said Gary Roger Butler to showing Valerie Ann Butler and have ignored the new UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged over the title deed of Haywicks Farm on the 17th May, 2012 by Stephen Carew-Reid to protect the interests of Valerie Ann Butler, Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood in Haywicks Farm, then what you and HM Land Registry have done is move your criminal offences already committed of attempted Conspiracy to Pervert to Course of Justice and Attempted Conspiracy to Defraud, to a successful and completed Conspiracy to Pervert to Course of Justice and Conspiracy to Defraud, which increase the severity of your crimes which means when you are all convicted of these crimes, which no doubt you will be, the length of your prison terms will be a lot long and what ever other punishment the courts hand out will me a lot more harsh and of course ever worse the public perception and opinion of your crimes will be a lot worse as the general public will see clearly that you ignored all the warnings because you thought, like Rebecca Brooks and her husband thought, that the power of the Freemasons and the London Jewish Mafia would protect them from being exposed and/or prosecuted of the serious crimes that have now being accused and charged for. The general public will have no sympathy for you at all and will say he deserves the most harshest punishment the courts are prepared to hand out as a warning and lesson to others you think they can abuse their powers in senior positions in HM Government bodies. We at the INL News Group certainly have no sympathy for your deliberate willingness to be involved and help the other conspirators who have been working on their plan to murder the Late Herbert Henry Butler and forging his will and presenting this forged will for probate, all with the end aim of defrauding him and his only child Valerie Ann Butler of their rightful ownership of a valuable development property in Gloucester that consists of about 25 acres on two sides of Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester and a two story farm house which has the potential for a development profit in the next 20 years to the conspirators of over 20 million pounds.
Good luck for the future.. you will need all the luch you can get from now on..

You and the other HM Land Registry Staff continue to act in an illegal, wrongful and corrupt way and continue to commit criminal and civil offences of staff in the HM Land Registry in Gloucester which are legally described as Malfeasance, collusion and dereliction of duty of public officers. You have also joined in with barrister Marie Clair Bleasdale, Owen Rhys and Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart is a conspiracy to defraud me and my partners of your lawful rights to ownership Haywicks Farm and also joined together in a conspiracy to pervert the course of Justice which are all civil and criminal wrongs which you all are guilt5y of and along with HM Land Registry as well as yourselves can be civilly sued as well a criminally charges, which no doubt you eventually will once a complete police and judicial inquiry is completed.
Your actions have also also helped bring the International Media's attention and HM Land Registry, yourself. Barrister Marie Clair Bleasdale and other corrupt judges, masters and adjudicators who have helped such an Owen Rhys, Master Teverson, Justice Mann, Justice Morgan, Justice David Richards Master Price,have now been made famous on the world Internet and will be recorded in the shame files of the INL News next publication of The Triumph of Truth (Who is Watching The Watchers?) which all volumes are help permanently in the National Library in Canberra for generations to come to read.

Also you have no reply to my request to acknowledge the UN1 and RX1 Notices filed by Stephen Carew-Reid on the 17th May, 2012 at HM Land Registry which attaches a copy of the seal court application for a stay and a copy of the payment to the court for such stay application.

Dear Ms Butler, I refer to previous correspondence and your email sent at 12:17 on 17 May 2012. I confirm that the application for registration of the transfer dated 13 December 2012 in favour of Mr and Mrs Urquhart has now been completed and the other applications which were lodged on your behalf and referred to in my letter dated 3 May 2012 have been cancelled. Your application for a stay of the order of the Adjudicator dated 16 February 2012 has not been properly issued by the court and served on Land Registry. Accordingly in the absence of a stay we are entitled to proceed with the application for registration of the transfer.
Yours sincerely, Katharine Brothers Assistant Land Registrar Direct Line 0300 00 61790

Please see attached High Court Application for your urgent attention that was sent to you yesterday and a copy also attached to the UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged by me Stephen Carew-Reid yesterday (17th May 2012) with HM Land Registry, at the West Croyden Office, which should arrive by DX today from HM Registry West Croyden Office.
It would be much appreciated if you could email me to confirm you have received them at the Gloucester HM Land Registry Office,.
Please see attached High Court Application for your urgent attention
we are asking the High Court to grant a formal stay on the orders Owen Rhys the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry made on the 16th February, 2012 concerning Haywicks Farm title deed without a hearing, however it may well be that the High Court may insist that a formal open oral hearing where all parties have the opportunity to have their say and present verbal and written submissions, and in that case we are asking the court to list this application for a formal oral open hearing on the 24th July, 2012 in court 10 in the Rolls Building, Fetta Lane, London. when we already have a hearing set down before a judge to argue setting aside the orders of Justice Mann who made orders refusing to grant leave to appeal the orders made by Master Teverson in the original High Court action taken out on me behalf of John Carew-Reid as trustee and power of attorney for me being HC11C00473
The only reason why Master Teverson struck out HC111C00473 was because he felt that English Law did not allow a non solicitor to be a claimant on behalf of another person in the capacity as trustee and/or power of attorney. However, Master Teverson is absolutely wrong on this legal point, because High Court Judge, Justice Paul Morgan has allowed an action to continue involving the other High Court claim Barrister Marie Clair Bleasdale is involved with between Janice Pritchard as trustee for Robert Carter and Janice Pritchard as trustee for John Carew-Reid against Fineland Investments Limited and others. Justice Morgan has also gone one step further by granting leave to Fineland Investments Limited and its solicitors Bude Natham Iwanier and their counsel Marie Clair Bleasdale to issue a counter claim against Janice Pritchard as trustee for Robert Carter and Janice Pritchard as trustee for John Carew-Reid, thus further cementing the English Law in the High Court of Justice whereby it has become legally acceptable for a non solicitor is be a claimant as trustee and/or power of attorney for another person. Plus there has been so many other false and misleading facts and points of law that has been used by Justice Mann as a basis of his orders, that there is no doubt that his orders refusing leave to appeal the orders made by Master Teverson in HC11C00473 striking out that action will be set aside in due course. No that that makes any real difference as far as sorting out the legal arguments with the rightful ownership and who should be the rightful registered owner of Haywicks Farm, because the other High Court claims and orders made since HC11C00473 was stuck out have taken over from HC11C00473 and really y passed HC11C00473, so the outcome of HC11C00473 has become irrelevent, other than the facts, that you and the Treasury solicitors that are working behind the scenes on this case for you preparing all your letter to me. are well aware of that Owen Rhys made his wrongful orders on the 16th February, 2012 on a false fact presented by Barrister Marie Clair Bleasdale on behalf of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart to Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry on the 16th February, 2012 that the leave to appeal oral hearing had been heard and determined. You will notice that the hearing before Justice Mann was in March, 2012 after the hearing on the 16th February, 2012 so this is clear evidence that the adjudicator's ruling was based on a false claim that the leave to appeal oral hearing had been fully determined by the High Court of Justice.
As you are well aware, the internal records of the Gloucester HM Land Registry Office clearly show a conspiracy to defraud, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and malefiance of public officers by yourself, HM Land Resgistrar for Gloucester Julie Jenkins, and HM Land Registry Clerks Claire Francis, David Hodges, Julie Williams and others by the clear provable and undisputeable fact that every effort was made by the afforementioned and/or others so clandestinely, wrongly, corruptly and/or illegally lost, mislaid etc the first set of UN1 and RX1 notices set over to Gloucester HM Land Registry to be lodged over Haywicks Farm title deed to protect my claims over the property, by a clerk in HM Land Registry Gloucester Office falsely pretending they were set of to my London Solicitors Simon Muirhead and Burton, which was never received by my London Solicitors Simon Muirhead and Burton,and thus obviously never sent too them by Gloucester HM Land Registry, so that this would help give a window of opportunity for the two sets of solicitors involved Langley Wellington and Madge Lloyd Gibson to have the transfer from Gary Roger Jouia to the Urquharts lodged with HM Land Registry and logged on to the day list in at a priority dated when there was no prior notices of claim against the title deed of Haywicks Farm. Their obviously corrupt contacts in the Gloucester Office of HM Land Registry were keeping them informed about any other claims and/or applications against the title deed of Haywicks Farm and were obviously well aware of the application notices which were lodged against Haywicks Farm title deed by my London Solicitors Simon Muirhead and Burton, with the first one being lodged on the 6th January, 2011 and renewed three times thus keeping a constant and continued notice of claim over the Haywicks Farm title deed for me until my UN1 and RX1 Notices were formerly lodged, with the first ones lodged on the 12th January, 2012 as per Gloucester HM Land Registry Internal Records, ( which were deliberately made to disappear by HM Land Registry clerks, never to be seen again) and the second lot of UN1 and RX1 notices arriving at HM Land Registry on the 18th January, 2011, while the application notice lodged by my London Solicitors Simon Muirhead and Burton, were still current against the Haywicks Farm Title deed and second lot of fees provided with the second lot of UN1 and RX1 Notices. So a master plan had to be divided to help create a window of opportunity for the two sets of solicitors involved Langley Wellington and Madge Lloyd Gibson for have the transfer from Gary Roger Jouia to the Urquharts lodged with HM Land Registry and logged on to the day list in at a priority dated when there was no prior notices of claim against the title deed of Haywicks Farm. The plan had worked well with organising the first lot of UN1 and RX1 Notices to disappear, and eventually the application notices would run out of time and there would be no prior claim from me or my representatives over Haywicks Farm title deed so the transfer could be logged onto the day list with no prior claim. However, along came the second lot of UN1 and RX1 Notices which arrived on the 18th January, 2011 at Gloucester HM Land Registry Office from Australia by special courier mail with a second lot of lodging fees attached which should have been immediately logged onto the day lost on the 18th January at the hour, minute and second they arrived at the Gloucester Office of HM Land Registry, however . So what was illegally oranised by public officers by yourself, HM Land Resgistrar for Gloucester Julie Jenkins, and HM Land Registry Clerks Claire Francis, David Hodges, Julie Williams and others in a clear conspiracy to defraud, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and malefiance of public officers, was for the second lot of UN1 and RX1 Notices to e put in a cupboard and not logged onto the day list as they should have been on the 18th January, 2011, and instead they were corruptly and wrongly shown as being logged onto the day list at 14:17:04 on the 27th January, 2011, conveniently about two hours after Langley Wellington and Madge Lloyd Gibson orgainsed for have the transfer from Gary Roger Jouia to the Urquharts logedd with HM Land Registry and logged onto the day list at 12:02:59 on the 27th January, 2011. This creating to on paper window of opportunity for Langley Wellington and Madge Lloyd Gibson to have the transfer from Gary Roger Jouia to the Urquharts lodged with HM Land Registry logged onto the day list without showing any prior claims on the title of Haywicks Farm
This is clear cut corruption, involving a conspiracy to defraud, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and malefiance of public officers, and you and treasury solicitors, even if not directly involved in doing this illegal wrongful and/or corrupt behaviour, are definately involved in helping to cover it up., by trying to quickly have Haywicks Farm transferred to Mr and Mrs Urquhart and by passing and ignoring the court order made the 29th December, 2011 by Justice Iyer of the High Court ordering HM Land Registry to remove the name of Gary Roger Jouai from the title deed of Haywicks Farm and replace it with my name Valerie Ann Butler, and ignoring the other various High Court claims and applications that are still pending concerning the rightful ownership of Haywicks Farm, in the hope by quickly but illegally and wrongly transferring the title deed from the name of Gary Roger Jouai to the Urquharts, the problem will all get buried and go away.
Please understand that the only way this problem is going to go away for the Gloucester office of HM Land Registry and its staff is for the HM Land Registry to obey the court order made the 29th December, 2011 by Justice Iyer of the High Court ordering HM Land Registry to remove the name of Gary Roger Jouai from the title deed of Haywicks Farm and replace it with my name Valerie Ann Butler.
Thanks for your comprehensive e-mail - I hope we have cleared a few misunderstandings.
First of all say "hello" to Janice from me.
You are right in the work you have done could not have been done by any solicitor - you have stuck your neck out in a big way, so do not think I do not appreciate your will-power and dedication to this sad and sordid case!!
As I understand it to-day from the extraction of the Deeds of Title THE TWIRP still has the Deeds in his name, as you have blocked it onwards.
You are right - the Adjudicator Owens in our February sessions was very embarrassed and put out that we had gone through Manchester Court - like where did this come from
A long, and as you know a very corrupt story - as you read from his report I told him if you do not adjourn this case here and now I have no alternative to take this matter to the police - as I was advised to do by very trust-worthy solicitors (I worked for David Hickey) editor of "The Sun Herald" in Sydney and Alex Morrow knew about my case and that is how I came in touch with Simon Muirhead & Burton who were solicitors in London for the newspaper.
All in all David, if you can see any way fit to continue on the massive job you started on that would be great.!
I will send you a further medical certificate to-morrow.
.
Close for now.
Regards,
Valerie.

Orders Sought:
1.To have the following parties joined to HC12C00678 for acting in a way that they have conspired to pervert the course of justice and in a conspiracy to defraud the claimants being Stephen Carew-Reid, Valerie Ann Butler and Thomas Allwood of the lawful rights in a property know as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE and also know as Title Number GR327583 and also known as Title Number GR351346:
(a) Barrister Marie Claire Bleasdale
(b) Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester
(c) Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester
(d) Treasury Solicitors.
Particulars of Conspiracy to defraud, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and malefiance of public officers
Particulars of the parts played in the conspiracy to defraud will exceed three folios and bet set out at trial of this action, however it is noted that some of the wrongful acts they have committed is to deliberately with wilful intent to harm the claimants have presented false and misleading facts , information and legal arguments in letters and submissions (written and verbal) that have been presented to the High Court of Justice and to the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and other letters to the claimants and as basis for wrongfully claiming they can by pass a number of current court actions and applications that are pending in the courts in HC12C00678, HC11C04156 and HC11C00473 concerning the rightful ownership and who should rightfully ne registered on the title deed as the registered owner of the property known as Haywicks Farm and a court order made the 29th December, 2011 in 1MA3045 by High Court Judge Iyer which states that HM Land Registry should remove the name of “the said Gary Roger Jouai” from the title deed of the property known as Haywicks Farm, and replace it with Valerie Ann Butler. One of the most serious deliberate false statements made (a) Barrister Marie Claire Bleasdale (b) Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester (c) Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester (d) Treasury Solicitors is that HC12C00678 is not a live action because the lodging fees have not been paid, when they all know from the High Court records that the lodging fee was paid for in cash and that the false story that the lodging fee had not been paid was deliberately made up by (a) Barrister Marie Claire Bleasdale (b) Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester (c) Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester (d) Treasury Solicitors as a way of arguing that there was no stay and/or set aside order applied against the orders made by Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, because Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester , Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester , Sarah Canipel acting as Objections Clerk for HM Land Registry had in letters dated 21st and 22nd February, 2012 as authorised agents , servants, and/or otherwise made undertakings on behalf of HM Land Registry that as soon as HM Land Registry are notified that there is a stay application to stay the orders of Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry made in the court, that HM Land Registry not to give effect to the orders made the 16th February by Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry to order HM Land Registry to process a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart. The main aim of the conspiracy being to make sure that well known Freemason Peter Leslie Urquhart and his well known Freemason Partners who have a great power and influence in the English Legal System , The High Court of Justice, Treasury Solicitors, the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and the Office of the Land Registry end up with control of the title deed of Haywicks Farm in the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart as trustee for their various silent Freemason Partners so they can complete a multi million pound luxury residential development of Haywicks Farm within the next 20 years with a expected net profit of over 20 million pounds to be shares amongst Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart and their various silent Freemason Partners who include powerful and well connected English solicitors and their families. So, because the issue of HC12C00678 which has asked for a stay and set aside orders against the orders made the 16th February by Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry to order HM Land Registry to process a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, meant that HM Land registry had to honour their undertaking not to process a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, made in the letters written by Sarah Canipel acting as Objections Clerk for HM Land Registry on the 21st February, 2012 and Katharine Brothers acting a Assistant to Julie Jenkins the HM Land Registrar for Gloucester on the 22nd February, 2012, HM Land Registry could not legally process a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, unless they could make up the false claim that the lodging fees for HC12C00678 had not been paid, which if this was true, the HC12C00678 would be stayed until these fees were paid. The making up of the false claim that the court fees of HC12C00678 had not been paid by the claimants is one of the most serious examples of a conspiracy to pervert the course of Justice and conspiracy to defraud made by HM Land Registry and Treasury Solicitors staff and one of the most well respected property dispute barristers in London, that the English Legal System has seen for long time. It is also noted that Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester , Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester and Treasury Solicitor have committed a common law tort of maleficance of public officers and this can be sued personally for damages as well as in their office as representing HM Land Registry owned by the Government of the United Kingdom and Barrister Marie Claire Bleasdale has committed a serious contempt of court as barrister for knowingly presenting false and misleading information to the court and has breach many of the oaths, rules, undertakings and obligations a barrister in the United Kingdom has to abide by and thus should be struck off from being allowed to practice law in the United Kingdom as wel as pay damages that have been causes y such deliberate and calculated wrongdoing. For all these reasons there in no doubt that (a) Barrister Marie Claire Bleasdale (b) Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester (c) Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester (d) Treasury Solicitors should be joined to HC12C00678 as defendants to be made to account for such wrong doing and also for the reason that they must be immediately restrained from using their power in HM Land Registry to wrongfully and for an illegal and/or wrongful purpose from being able to give effect to the orders made the 16th February by Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry to order HM Land Registry to process a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart.

3.Application for a stay to the orders made the 16th February by Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry to order HM Land Registry to process a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, until the full determination and/or carrying out of all applications and claims for orders sought and/or made in HC12C00678, HC11C00415, HC11C00473 and 1MA3045, and/or until further order.
4.Katharine Brothers acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry, Julie Jenkins Acting asHM Land Registrar and HM Land Registrty be restrained from processing a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart until the full determination and/or carrying out of all applications and claims for orders sought and/or made in HC12C00678, HC11C00415, HC11C00473 and 1MA3045, and/or until further order.
5.Application lodged by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Urquhart in HC11C004156 to strike out HC11C004156 that has been listed before Master Price on the 5th July, 2012 be vacated and re-listed before High Court Judge in Chambers on the 24th July, 2012 in Court 10, Rolls Building, Fetta Lane, London at the same time as an application to set aside the orders made by Mann J in HC11C00473 has already been listed.
6.The orders made by Master Price in HC11C04156 on the 10th May, 2012 be set aside on a number of grounds including that fact that the claimant was not served and/or had knowledge of the application that was argued on the 10th May, 2012 in HC11C04156 and was not in attendance in person and/or by legal representative at the hearing before Master Price on the 10the May, 2012in HC11C04156.
7.That 28 days for service on Valerie Ann Butler of the strike out application by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Urquhart in HC11C004156 to strike out HC11C004156 and all supported statements of truth and submissions be allowed because Valerie Ann Butler is currently in Australia because she is too sick to return to the United Kingdom at present.
8.Costs of this application be in the cause.
9.Any further orders the court feels are just and fair to make.
Assistant to HM Land Registrar Katharine Brothers, Gloucester HM Land Registrar Julie Jenkins
and top property dispute London Barrister Marie Clair Bleasdale join Haywicks Farm Fraud Gang
Owen Ryhys, Acting as adjudicator to HM Land Registry in Gloucester
Notice of proposed article before publishing
Attorney Marie-Claire Bleasdale, HM Land Registry Lawyer Katharine Brothers helps Well Known Freemason Peter Urquhart and other well powerful Freemason attorneys, judges, Masters and Clerks in London's High Court of Justice, to defraud Valerie Ann Butler of her legal rights to Haywicks Farm on about 23 acres, which is in the process of being developed into a multi million pound luxury development in Gloucestershire, which has been in the Butler family for over 100 years.
The Legal and Investigative Team for the INL News Group have been investigating a serious conspiracy to defraud that is in the process of being committed against an elderly very sick English Pensioner, Valerie Ann Butler involving. The main purpose of the fraud is to fraudulently and/or wrongfully steal Haywicks Farm from English Pensioner Valerie Ann Butler, which has been in the Butler family for over 100 years.
The main beneficiaries of the fraud being well known and powerfully connected Freemason, Peter Leslie Urquhart, and well known and powerful Freemason solicitors Simon James Fisher and his legal firm Lutton Dunford, Madge Lloyd Gibson and Langley Wellington the all powerful Freemason Eggleton Family who run a property development company known as Egdon Estates.
Haywicks Farm is on around 23 acres and is prime residential development land on on the edge of the main canal is Gloucester and is ripe for a multi million pound luxury property development to be approved Stroud Council which is controlled by senior Freemasons who are well known to be happy to take bribes to have a property development approved.
The main conspirators being well known and powerfully connected Freemason, Peter Leslie Urquhart, and well known and powerful Freemason solicitors Madge Lloyd Gibson, Rickerby's solicitors and Langley Wellington the all powerful Freemason Eggleton Family who run a property development company known as Egdon Estates, have had to call in favours from corrupt Freemason Owen Rhys acting as adjudicator to HM Land Registry in Gloucester, corrupt Freemason High Court Master Teverson and corrupt Freemason High Court Judges-Justice Mann and Justice David Richards as well as a corrupt Assistant lawyers to HM Land Registrar named Katharine Brothers to help them complete the conspiracy to defraud and cover the conspiracy to defraud up.
There are multi millions of pounds involved because of the development potential of Haywicks Farm situated in Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucestershire.
The conspiracy to defraud English Elderly Pensioner Valerie Ann Butler of her ownership rights to Haywicks Farm started as far back as 1984 when a fraudulent and false will for the Late Herbert Henry Butler, which was never s signed by the Late Herbert Henry Butler and was never formally and/or legally witnessed by the purported witnesses being Simon James Fisher and a person who never legally existed as a real person, a Vivienne Hobbs, was prepared with the help of Freemason attorney Simon James Fisher using false name of the other alleged witness, who worked for the very powerful Freemason Eggleton legal firm, with their power base in Gloucestershire being greatly strengthened by the fact the Mr Eggleton was the Gloucestershire Sherriff and could make anything happen in Gloucestershire.
The INL News Legal and Investigative Team have also uncovered evidence that leads to a strong suggestion and belief that the conspirators and/or their associates were also involved in the murder of the Late Herbert Henry Butler in February, 1990, so that they could then use one of the other conspirators Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson to present this fraudulent and false will to the probate Office in Gloucestershire to obtain a grant of probate in favour name of as person who did not legally exist and had no formal photo ID in that name.
Then they all waited 20 years for the dust to settle, and for all the nearby land to be fully developed coming out of Gloucester, so that the next land that will be ready for development and adding council services will be properties in Haywicks that border the canal. They were also hoping that the only daughter of the Late Herbert Henry Butler, Valerie Ann Butler, who has sole right to Haywicks Farm on the death of her father, would have died by now. However, the conspirators could not wait any longer, so the Freemason businessman Peter Leslie Urquhart, who was selected by Eggletons, his attorneys for over 30 years, to front for the other conspirators to have Haywicks Farm registered in his and his wife Jaqueline Ann Urquhart's names, so that it could be quietly transferred of the name that did not legally exist.
Eggleton Solicitors and the powerful Freemason Eggleton family who run Edgon Estates, were struck off as attorneys by the Legal Complaints Tribunal and all their clients and legal files were taken over by powerful Freemason Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson and its was Madge Lloyd Gibson who deliberately and knowingly presented a false and fraudulent will to the Gloucestershire Probate Office in August, 1990 to help the conspirators have Haywicks Farm registered in a name that does not legally exist, with the long term plan of eventually transferring Haywicks Farm title into the name of Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart when the time was right.
So the conspirators had to make out it all was a normal sale of Haywicks Farm to Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquart by publicly advertising the property, however none of the 100 other interested purchasers of Haywicks Farm were interested in making an offer to purchase the property because any sale contract would have to include an overage deed, which meant that for the next 20 years, if the property has development approval obtained by the Stroud Council, then the purchasers of the property will have to pay the Vendor ( who is behind the scenes a group of powerful Freemason business men and attorneys who used a name of a person who did not exist to obtain the rights to the property) 50% of the increased value as a result of the development approval. This means that if the value of Haywicks Farm increases from the original sale price around 660,000 pounds to 20 million with the next 20 years, then the purchasers of Haywicks Farm would have to pay these powerful Freemason solicitors and businessmen around 10 million pounds on top of the original 660,000 pounds purchase price in 2011.
Unfortunately for the conspirators, Valerie Ann Butler, even though very sick and elderly, has not died as yet and requested help from the INL News Legal and Investigative Team to get Haywicks Farm back for her form these evil and greedy conspirators who have spent the best part of 30 years planning and scheming how to end up with the title deed of Haywicks Farm into one of their names without being able to be challenged on the future by Valerie Ann Butler and/or one of her children and/or grand children.
The conspirators tried to quietly transfer the title deed of Haywicks Farm into the name of Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart in February, 2011 however the INL News Legal and Investigative Team have been legally blocking such transfer since December, 2010.
So the conspirators had call in the help of their powerful corrupt Freemason High Court Masters, Judges and clerks and HM Registry adjudicators, and lawyers working inside the HM Registry Office who have been prepared to act in a very obvious corrupt and/or wrongful way to help the conspirators have the title deed of Haywicks Farm registered in the name of Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart.
Some of the powerful corrupt Freemason lawyers, attorneys, High Court Masters, Judges and clerks and HM Registry adjudicators, and lawyers working inside the HM Registry Office which included females who are not Freemasons who have obviously been bribed and/or offered some promotion in their jobs in some way who have been prepared to act in a very obvious corrupt and/or wrongful way to help the conspirators have the title deed of Haywicks Farm registered in the name of Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart include the following:
1. High Court Master Teverson- Well known senior Freemason
2. High Court Judge _ Justice Mann- Well known senior Freemason
3. High Court Judge _ Justice David Richards - Well known senior Freemason
4. High Court Judge – Justice Paul Morgan
5. Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry
6. Katharine Brothers acting as Assistant Land Registrar in Gloucester
7. Various corrupt freemason clerks and other staff in the HM Land Registry Office in Gloucestershire
8. Various corrupt Freemason clerks and other staff in the Office to the Adjudicator to the HM Land Registry
9. Various corrupt Freemason clerks and other staff in the London High Court of Justice
10. Lawyers Madge Lloyd Gibson well known Freemason lawyers
11. Lawyers Rickerbys, who Colin Gibson who was one of the original partners in Madge Lloyd Gibson now is a partner of and used his new firm’s powerful freemason contacts in the High Court of Justice, the Office to the HM Land Registry and the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry to help act in corrupt and/or wrongful ways to help by pass all the High Court legal actions and applications pending and help ignore a court order made by a High Court Judge ordering that the title deed of Haywicks Farm be registered in the name of Valerie Ann Butler
12. Lawyer Langley Wellingtom Lawyers
13. Eggleton Solicitors and the Eggleton Family who own and run Egdon Estates
14. Attorney Marie-Clair Bleasdale of Radcliffe Chambers in London
15. Other various powerful and well connected Freemason Attorneys.
16. Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquart
The current situation is that while English Pnesioner, Valerie Ann Butler is visiting her grand children and other family in Australia and has been ruled by her doctors as unfit to travel back to England for a while, the Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and Katharine Brothers acting as Assistant to the HM Land Registrar have with the help of corrupt HM Treasury attorneys and lawyers conspired together in a corrupt and wrongful way to help the conspirators to bypass High Court claims and applications and appeals rights and write letters that are full of false statements and misleading statement and false and misleading legal arguments to try and have the title deed of Haywicks Farm illegally, corruptly and/or wrongly registered in the name of Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquart.
The INL News Legal and Investigative Team have been researching and investigating the operations of High Court of Justice in England and Wales, the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, Treasury Solicitors, UK Border Agency, The Prime Minister of the UK’s office and HM Land Registry over the last five years in secret undercover operation and have found that illegal, wrongful and corrupt actions as going on a regular basis and the power of anyone connected to the London Jewish Mafia and/or the Freemasons to able to obtain any wrongful and/or corrupt court and/or adjudication orders, have documents and correspondence disappear, official letters not sent advising people of court hearing dates, letters and applications requesting court hearing simply disappearing and other important documents have simply disappeared from court files, in many instances never to be seen again.
The INL News Investigation and Legal Team have found that there is quite an obvious corrupt and wrongful net work of people working within the London High Court of Justice, HM Land Registry, HM Treasury Solicitors and the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry using their power in an illegal, wrongful and corrupt way to help powerful London Jewish Mafia and Freemason connections obtain what orders they want at any level of the HM Land Registry adjudication process and/or the High Court process and in the end corrupt staff such as Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and Katharine Brothers acting as assistant to HM Land Registrar just take the law into their own hands with the help of corrupt Lawyers and Attorneys working for HM Treasury Solicitors to write their letters, judgements and responses for them to make it all look like they are acting within the law, but in actual fact present letters. Judgement and responses full of false and misleading statements and facts and false and misleading legal arguments.
We have a situation that at present Katharine Brothers acting as Assistant to the HM Land Registrar in Gloucester sending out a letter with her name on it, pretending that she has written the letters, however it was written by a HM Treasury Lawyer and/or Attorney, who wants to hide behind Katharine Brothers, so if anything goes wrong and the whole conspiracy is publicly exposed as it is about to be in this article that is about to be presented worldwide in the International Media, the Freemason HM Treasury Lawyer or Attorney who really wrote the letter dated the 3rd May, 2012 signed by Katharine Brothers as Assistant to the HM Land Registrar addressed to Valerie Ann Butler, which is full of false and misleading statements of fact and false and misleading legal arguments, can leave Katharine Brothers to publicly and legally take the fall.
This is who the Freemason work. They put an female up front who is not a Freemason, but is willing to act in a wrongful and/or corrupt and/or illegal way to help Freemasons whom are more seniors in their department, by the offer of a good promotion and a secure work life if they do what they are told and do not ask questions.
They advise clerks like Katharine Brothers that they are safe in presenting false and misleading letters to people because they can always just say, “ hey, the letter was drafted by a senior HM Treasury Attorney, and I just put my name to it and signed it believing that a senior Government attorney had done their job in a correct manner. At the same time never exposing the name of corrupt HM Treasury Attorney who prepared and draft the false and fraudulent letter to Valerie Ann Butler dated the 3rd May, 2012 which was not even sent out in hard copy and only emailed to Valerie Ann Butler, knowing that Valerie Ann Butler was in hospital and very sick and more than likely not see he email till it was too late , and he family farm in Haywicks Lane has already by illegally, fraudulently and corruptly and wrongly transferred into the names of two of the main conspirators Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart.

Orders Sought:
1.To have the following parties joined to HC12C00678 for acting in a way that they have conspired to pervert the course of justice and in a conspiracy to defraud the claimants being Stephen Carew-Reid, Valerie Ann Butler and Thomas Allwood of the lawful rights in a property know as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 3QE and also know as Title Number GR327583 and also known as Title Number GR351346:
(a) Barrister Marie Claire Bleasdale
(b) Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester
(c) Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester
(d) Treasury Solicitors.
Particulars of Conspiracy to defraud, conspiracy to pervert the course of justice and malefiance of public officers
Particulars of the parts played in the conspiracy to defraud will exceed three folios and bet set out at trial of this action, however it is noted that some of the wrongful acts they have committed is to deliberately with wilful intent to harm the claimants have presented false and misleading facts , information and legal arguments in letters and submissions (written and verbal) that have been presented to the High Court of Justice and to the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and other letters to the claimants and as basis for wrongfully claiming they can by pass a number of current court actions and applications that are pending in the courts in HC12C00678, HC11C04156 and HC11C00473 concerning the rightful ownership and who should rightfully ne registered on the title deed as the registered owner of the property known as Haywicks Farm and a court order made the 29th December, 2011 in 1MA3045 by High Court Judge Iyer which states that HM Land Registry should remove the name of “the said Gary Roger Jouai” from the title deed of the property known as Haywicks Farm, and replace it with Valerie Ann Butler. One of the most serious deliberate false statements made (a) Barrister Marie Claire Bleasdale (b) Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester (c) Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester (d) Treasury Solicitors is that HC12C00678 is not a live action because the lodging fees have not been paid, when they all know from the High Court records that the lodging fee was paid for in cash and that the false story that the lodging fee had not been paid was deliberately made up by (a) Barrister Marie Claire Bleasdale (b) Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester (c) Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester (d) Treasury Solicitors as a way of arguing that there was no stay and/or set aside order applied against the orders made by Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, because Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester , Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester , Sarah Canipel acting as Objections Clerk for HM Land Registry had in letters dated 21st and 22nd February, 2012 as authorised agents , servants, and/or otherwise made undertakings on behalf of HM Land Registry that as soon as HM Land Registry are notified that there is a stay application to stay the orders of Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry made in the court, that HM Land Registry not to give effect to the orders made the 16thFebruary by Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry to order HM Land Registry to process a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart. The main aim of the conspiracy being to make sure that well known Freemason Peter Leslie Urquhart and his well known Freemason Partners who have a great power and influence in the English Legal System , The High Court of Justice, Treasury Solicitors, the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and the Office of the Land Registry end up with control of the title deed of Haywicks Farm in the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart as trustee for their various silent Freemason Partners so they can complete a multi million pound luxury residential development of Haywicks Farm within the next 20 years with a expected net profit of over 20 million pounds to be shares amongst Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart and their various silent Freemason Partners who include powerful and well connected English solicitors and their families. So, because the issue of HC12C00678 which has asked for a stay and set aside orders against the orders made the 16thFebruary by Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry to order HM Land Registry to process a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, meant that HM Land registry had to honour their undertaking not to process a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, made in the letters written by Sarah Canipel acting as Objections Clerk for HM Land Registry on the 21st February, 2012 and Katharine Brothers acting a Assistant to Julie Jenkins the HM Land Registrar for Gloucester on the 22nd February, 2012, HM Land Registry could not legally process a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart, unless they could make up the false claim that the lodging fees for HC12C00678 had not been paid, which if this was true, the HC12C00678 would be stayed until these fees were paid. The making up of the false claim that the court fees of HC12C00678 had not been paid by the claimants is one of the most serious examples of a conspiracy to pervert the course of Justice and conspiracy to defraud made by HM Land Registry and Treasury Solicitors staff and one of the most well respected property dispute barristers in London, that the English Legal System has seen for long time. It is also noted that Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester , Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester and Treasury Solicitor have committed a common law tort of maleficance of public officers and this can be sued personally for damages as well as in their office as representing HM Land Registry owned by the Government of the United Kingdom and Barrister Marie Claire Bleasdale has committed a serious contempt of court as barrister for knowingly presenting false and misleading information to the court and has breach many of the oaths, rules, undertakings and obligations a barrister in the United Kingdom has to abide by and thus should be struck off from being allowed to practice law in the United Kingdom as wel as pay damages that have been causes y such deliberate and calculated wrongdoing. For all these reasons there in no doubt that (a) Barrister Marie Claire Bleasdale (b) Julie Jenkins acting as HM Land Registrar in Gloucester (c) Katharine Brothers, Acting as Assistant to HM Land Registry Gloucester (d) Treasury Solicitors should be joined to HC12C00678 as defendants to be made to account for such wrong doing and also for the reason that they must be immediately restrained from using their power in HM Land Registry to wrongfully and for an illegal and/or wrongful purpose from being able to give effect to the orders made the 16th February by Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry to order HM Land Registry to process a transfer lodged with HM Land Registry on the 27th January, 2011 by Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart for the property known as Haywicks Farm to be transferred from the name of the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie and Jacqueline Ann Urquhart.

6.The orders made by Master Price in HC11C04156 on the 10th May, 2012 be set aside on a number of grounds including that fact that the claimant was not served and/or had knowledge of the application that was argued on the 10th May, 2012 in HC11C04156 and was not in attendance in person and/or by legal representative at the hearing before Master Price on the 10the May, 2012in HC11C04156.

I think you have received your final warning to stop presenting false and misleading information ( facts and law) to the court and withholding material information from the court in the Haywicks Farm matter and other matters you are involved with that the INL News Group are involve din helping with.
The Editorial department of the INL News Group are wanting to publicize your wrongful activities which includes so many courts of contempt of court.
They want me to prepare a submission to the Attorney's Board to have to struck off as an Attorney.
The Editorial Department have a particular dislike for Attorneys that are not honest with the court as you have been on so many occasions.
I have been holding back on presenting this report to them because I am still hoping you are going to start to act for honesty and justice rather than dishonesty and injustice.
You have now tried to drag Katharine Brothers into your and your clients fraudulent, immoral, illegal, wrongful and devious scheme to defraud Valerie Ann Jouai her legal rights to Haywicks Farm, by working with corrupt treasury solicitors in preparing false and misleading facts and legal submissions to Katharine Brothers, so repeats these false and misleading facts and legal submissions and is got herself into a lot of hot water.
You and Katharine Brothers are being used by these powerful greedy Freemasons and London Jewish Mafia brothers and in the end it is your necks on the line not theirs. they are all hiding behind you and Katharine and when it all blows up it is you ans Katharine that are going to cop the blame for it all.
Please note the submissions and serious allegations against yourself and Owen Rhys acting as the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and your clients Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and others acting in what appears to be a criminal conspiracy to defraud Valerie Ann Butler and her partners in Haywicks
We hereby attach a copy of the Regulatory requirements of Code of Conduct that the Barristers Board have set down for you to operate under and maintain.

Urgent Attention:
Attorney, Marie Claire Bleasdale, senior attorney for Radcliffe Chambers, London
Re: Criminal Contempt of Court Committed by attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale on the 16th February 2012 before Owen Rhys, acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry in Ref No: 2011/0422 over the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, UK.
Also criminal defamation committed by attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale against John Carew-Reid and many false & misleading statements stated by attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale of Radcliffe Chambers to Owen Rhys in writing & verbally at the land adjudication hearing on 16th February 2012 concerning Haywicks Farm.
Note the INL News Legal & Investigative & Editorial Team have following your court & adjudication hearings & appearances in different matters for sometime now & are very shocked & disturbed that you are willing to continue to attend court & or adjudication hearings & try & win those hearings by presenting false information. why?
Please note the submissions and serious allegations against yourself and Owen Rhys acting as the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and your clients Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart.
It is time for you and your clients sake to write to the HM Land Registry
to inform the HM Land Registry that your clients, Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart no longer want HM Land Registry to process the transfer of the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane,
Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 8QE, and also known as title number GR327583 and also known as title number GR351346 from the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart.
It is time that you start using your great legal ability and resources in
helping your clients retrieve the 660,000 pounds sterling back from their
former solicitors Madge Lloyd Gibson and/or the said Gary Roger Joaui’s
former solicitors, Langley Wellington, rather that wasting any more of your clients money and your valuable time, money and energy trying to obtain an unattainable goal of having the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 8QE, and also known as title number GR327583 and also known as title number GR351346 transferred from the said “Gary Roger Jouai” to the name of Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart.
We have continually explained to your clients that their right of action is
against their former attorneys Madge Lloyds Gibson and and/or the said Gary Roger Joaui’s former attorneys, Langley Wellington, who have your clients 660,000. You and your clients and their former attorneys Madge Lloyds Gibson and and/or the said Gary Roger Joaui’s former attorneys, Langley Wellington, are all well aware that there was an undertaking from the said Gary Roger Joaui’s former attorneys, Langley Wellington to your clients former attorneys Madge Lloyds Gibson, that until your clients Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr N Mrs Nicolosi all received good and clear title of the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 8QE, and also known as title number GR327583 and also known as title number GR351346, and all possible legal disputes and/or disagreements, and conditions in the very complex contracts and agreements associated with the attempted sale and attempted purchase of Haywicks Farm,
between Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi and the said”Gary Roger Joaui” and the both sets of Attorneys involved, then the two set of purchase monies, 12,000 and 60,000 would not be paid out to the said “Gary Roger Joaui”. We suggest that you have another good read of all the correspondence and agreement files that are between Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi and the said “Gary Roger Jouai”^ and two sets of former attorneys, Madge Lloyds Gibson and Langley Wellington, and you see clearly that even though the transfers and contracts had been signed and dated the 13th December, 2011, even as late at the end of February, 2011 the said “Gary Roger Jouai’s” former solicitors Langley Wellington, were making it quite clear that unless certain legal issues were resolved and agreed between the parties, then the two sets of contracts for the proposed and purchase and sale of Haywicks Farm would be declared null and void and the two parts of
Haywicks Farm will revert back to the name of the said “Gary Roger Butler” and the two proposed purchasers, Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi would have their money returned in full.
The quite false story that is being presented to the court and the
Adjudicator
Now, it is also a clear and undisputed fact that, besides that fact that your clients and their attorneys, the estate agents involved with the sale of Haywicks Fram, the Stroud Council, Attorney Simon James Fisher and his legal firm Luttons-Dunford and others involved in the Haywicks Farm deal, Estate of the LATE HERBET Henry Butler etc were well informed from at least November, 2010 onwards of the serious allegations of fraud involving the purported will of the Late Herbert Henry Butler dated January, 1984 and the a forged will and/or not properly executed will, was used to obtain the Grant of Probate naming the said “Gary Roger Jouai” as the sole administrator and beneficiary of the residual Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler, but from the 6th January, 2011 onwards, Valerie Butler/Jouai and/or her representatives had placed warning notices over the title deed of Haywicks
Your clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart have not once in the 18 months this has all being going on, asked for their money back from the two sets of
attorneys . (Madge Lloyd Gibson and Langley Wellington) and/or have showed any willingness and/or interest in walking away from the proposed purchase of Haywicks Farm and requesting their money back. In fact when the selling agent were approached at the end of November, 2010 about the property by Jamison and Associates, who said that the property was sold. Jamison then said,
"well we have a buyer for one million pounds, so if the vendor can in any way get out of the deal, then their buyer will be willing to pay 340,000 pounds sterling more than the asking price on the internet, and if for any reason the vendor can not get out of the sale, then Jamison and Associates buyer will be prepared to pay the buyers, one million pounds for Haywicks Farm, which would be a 340,000 pounds sterling instant profit for them, which is 50% instant return on their original outlay of 660,000 pounds sterling".
The answer came back that neither the original owner or the new buyer were at all interested in looking at the offer of one million pounds sterling for Haywicks Farm This is all rather odd behavior, if Haywicks Farm was sold for its true value. The reality is that Haywicks Farm being on 26 acres with a two street frontage, ( Haywicks Lane a gazzeted road running between the property), has a strong potential to be approved for the development of a very valuable luxury housing estate with as likely profit from such development approval of over 20 million pound
sterling. That is why the vendor the said “Gary Roger Jouai” and his former attorneys Langley Wellington, made is clear to any interested buyer that he was not in the least interested in selling the property for 660,000 pounds sterling as a straight out sale, where the buyer receives all increases in value from any future development approval, and the cheap price of 660,000 pounds sterling was only available to a proposed purchaser on the condition that the purchaser agreed to allow an overage deed to be part of the contract of sale where by the purchaser will have to pay the vendor 50% of any increase in valuation of Haywicks Farm in the next 20 years as a result of any development approval on the land that makes up Haywicks Farm.
This means that if the development of a luxury residential estate was
approved in say 15 years time that meant the new valuation of the land
comprising of Haywicks Farm was 30,660,000 pounds sterling, then the
Urquharts and the Nicolosi’s would have to pay the said “Gary Roger Joaui” a further 15, million pounds sterling. However on the plus side for the Urquharts and the Nicolosi’s is that they could sell the property to a
property developer for 30,660,000 and walk away with 15.660,000, being 15 million pounds net profit. It is no wonder that the Urquharts and the Nicolosi’s were not in the least interested in taking a small profit of 340,000 pounds sterling ( the Urquarts would have received the lions share of this), there was a lot more profit in it than that. Also it was actually almost impossible for them to on sell the property as a straight sale, as there was no straight purchase ( it was a development partnership agreement), as they would have to on sell their right and obligations in the property which also included the buyer having to agree to take over the responsibilities of the overage agreement.
Now the factual background to all this over the last 30 years shows clearly that the same set of solicitors that were involved with creating the forged and/or not formally witnessed will purportedly dated January, 1984 (Eccletons, whom attorney Simon James Fisher worked for at the time that they used to create the forged and/or not formally witnessed will purportedly dated January, 1984) were also the attorneys for Peter Leslie Ann Jaqueline Ann Urquhart for 30 years. Then when Eggletons were struck off as solicitors by the Legal Complaints Tribunal, all their clients were taken over by Attorneys Mage Lloyd Gibson. Now add the fact that it was Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson that were used to present the quite obviously not formerly executed and/or witnessed will of the Late Herbert Henry Butler purportedly dated January, 1984. to the Probate District Registrar to have the grant of Probate issued in August, 1990 making the said “Gary Roger Jouai” as sole administrator and beneficiary of the residue estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler, Then it is attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson that
represents, encourages and guides Peter Leslie Ann Jaqueline Ann Urquhart on the purchase of Haywicks Farm the whole affair becomes more and more incestuous. Then when Madge Lloyd Gibson is sued as HC11C00473 long with Mr and Mrs Urquhart and others, it is Rickerbys Attorneys whom Colin Gibson, one of the founder’s of Madge Lloyd Gibson,("Colin Gibson" < colin.gibson@rickerbys.com>) is a partner, that takes up the defense for Madge Lloyd Gibson, Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi. Now neither Madge Lloyd Gibson or Rickerby’s want anything to do with defending either Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi. And left them to hang out to dry, because
"They have too much to cover up. In fact evem Master Teverson said at the first strike out hearing of HC11C00473 that they advised Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, to obtain some separate legal and independent advice from Madge Lloyd Gibson and Rickerbys. This was because the Master could see quite clearly that Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi. had a professional negligence claim against Madge Lloyd Gibson if made Lloyd Gibson did not get their 660,000 an 12,000 pounds sterling back.
As much as Valerie Ann Butler would like all this to end, she also would
also quite welcome a full trial of this matter where everyone involved had to give evidence under oath and the whole truth of the matter is brought to light.
If your clients Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart are not prepared to
withdraw their application from HM Land registry to have the transfer of
Haywicks Farm lodged on the 27th January, 2011 processed into their name, then could you please respond as soon as possible to the below submissions in opposition and response to your submissions handed to Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai for the first time at the hearing on the 16th February, 2012 before Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry

Marie Claire Bleasdale is likely to got to jail & lose her license to
pratice law for presenting false facts to Owen Rhys Adjudicator 16th February 2012
Just have spoken to the INLNews jourmalist that attended the hearing today before Adjudicator Owen Rhys and it seems that the editorial people are keen to put a article about your illegal,wrongful, & or immoral activities in the courts and adjudicator hearings.
You seem to keen to become famous for the wrong reasons, to become known on the world stage as a high priced attorney that makes her living from telling lies to the courts & withhold material information from the courts for your clients. Just as you have done today for clients P & J Urquhart by lying in your submissions that there was no order to amend probate of the Estate of Henry Herbert Butler, when you & your clients are well aware that there is a High Court Order made 29th December in 1MA30545 by District Judge Iyer," that a new grant of probate be granted to administer the estate of the Late Henry Herbert Butler appointing the said Valerie Ann Butler as the personal representative of the Late Henry Herbert Butler."
You then withheld presenting a copy of HC11C04156 being a Current High Court Action issued in the High Court of Justice Chancery Division being Valerie Ann Butler Claimant v P E Urquhart and J A Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi for declarations that the purported land contracts, agreements and overage deeds were of no valid to legal effect and were null and void. You have read the judgment and directions of Master Teverson striking out the original claim HC11C00473 issued by John Carew-Reid as trustee and power of attorney for Valerie Ann Joaui against Gary Roger Joaui and others to try and obtain a judicial determination as to the Valerie Ann Joaui’s rights to Haywicks Farm, which was struck out only for the reason the master Teverson
believed that Mr Carew-Reid did not have the legal right to issue such
action in his own name as Trustee and power of Attorney for Valerie Ann
Joaui, and in fact gave directions in his judgment to Valerie Ann
Joaui/Butler that she should commence a new High Court Claim in her name against P E Urquhart and J A Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi for
declarations that for declarations that the purported land contracts,
agreements and overage deeds were of no valid to legal effect and were null and void., and a separate claim against the said Gary Roger Joaui to obtain a court order that the original grant of probate granted to the said Gary Roger Jouai had no legal effect and was null and void and a new grant of probate be granted to administer the Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler appointing Valerie Ann Butler as the personal representative of the Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler. and for a further order that “HM Registry of Land Titles amend the HM Land Registry records for the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 6QE being Title Number GR327583 by deleting the name of the said gary Roger Jouai and replacing with Vslerie Valerie Ann Butker as the registered owner of the property known as Haywicks Farm title number GR327583”
(The overage deeds were a term of these contracts and agreements which have the legal effect that these were not normal sales between seller and buyer for all of the rights of the property of Haywicks Farm to be transferred to the buyer, however was in effect a development partnership agreement between the said Gary Roger Jouai and P E Urquhart and J A Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi whereby the buyers paid over a very small portion of the potential worth of the Haywicks Farm and that for the next 20 years when the property known as Haywicks Farm is approved for development then the profit and valuation difference between the valuation of the property based
on the development approval and the amounts to be paid over to the said Gary Roger Jouai being 660,000 pounds from Mr and Mrs Urquhart and 12,000 pounds from Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, would be shared on a 50.50 basis between the said Gary Roger Jouai an Mr and Mrs Urquhart and 12,000 pounds from Mr and Mrs Nicolosi).
So as a result of Master Teverson’s directions in his judgment striking out HC11C00473 Valerie Ann Butler using her maiden-birth name, in respect to her late father Herbert Henry Butler to keep the Butler Family name on the title deed on Haywicks Farm, as her Husband hade died, issued two new High Court Claims HC11C04156 (still waiting or a trial to be set down for hearing) and 1MA30545 which has been finalized as per court order made the 29th December, 2011 by District Judge Iyer sitting at Manchester District Registry. As attached to this letter which you and you clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi had a copy of on the 14th February, 2011 as posted by guaranteed delivery to your clients on the 13th February, 2012 the day the court extracted the order for the first time, even though it was made the 29th December, 2011, the court having appologised for the delay in extracting the order.
You are well aware that the appeal in HC11C00473 against Master Teverson’s directions in his judgment striking out HC11C00473 has not legally been fully determined with John Carew-Reid as Trustee and Power of Attorney for Valerie Ann Joaui still awaiting for a hearing of the oral leave to appeal hearing application. The judges listing have stated that it is likely that this leave to appeal application will not be listed til sometime in the middle of March, 2012.Then if leave to appeal is refused then we are informed Mr John Carew-Reid will appeal against that decision to the Court of Appeal, and that is likely to take another six months at least to be dealt with, and the Adjudicator to the HM Land registry can not make any orders and/or directions to the HM Land Registry until that appeal processes involving HC11C00473are all fully dealt with and fully determined.
Some of the Factual and Legal issues and problems with summary of facts and summary of law presented by Attorney Marie-Clair Bleasdale to the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry on the 16th February, 2012 in the hearing of Peler Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart applicant and Valerie Ann Jouai and John Carew-Reid Respondents over the property known as Haywicks Farm Title Number GR327583 also known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Harwicke, Gloucester, GL2 9QE.
1. Section 204- law of property Act 1925- Orders of the Court
Conclusive. So the court order made of the 29th December, 2011 by District Judge Iyer sitting at Manchester District Registry, Civil Justice Centre, 1 Bridge Street, West, Manchester, M60 9DI is completely conclusive and takes complete priority over everything- Thus HM land registry must act on this court order above all other directions from the Adjudicator to the HM Land Registry- Adjudicator has no power to overrule Court order from District Judge Iyer- If Adjudicator is acting in a correct, proper and non corrupt way in carrying out his duties as an adjudicator then the adjudicator has no choice but to instruct the HM land Registry to act on this court order –
Until this order is set aside nothing else can be done by the Applicants-Mr and Mrs Urquharts to oppose the registration of the title deed of
Haywicks Farm being registered in the name of Valerie Ann Butler- The HM Land Registry must immediately act and register the property known as Haywicks Farm Title Number GR327583 also known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Harwicke, Gloucester, GL2 9QE. Into the name of Valerie Ann Butler.
2. Land registration Rules 2003/1417-Misellaneous and Special cases death of a proprietor- 162- Transfer by a personal representative (i) an application to register by a personal representative who is not already registered as proprietor, must be accompanied by a court order appointed the transferor as the deceased personal representative .Thus the court order made by Iyer J in the High Court of Justice, Manchester Registry satisfies this land registration rule because in paragraph 2 of the court order it states:
2. An order that a new grant of probate be granted to
administer the estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler appointing the said Valerie Ann Butler as the personal representative of the Estate if the Late Herbert Henry Butler (ii) The registrar is under no duty to investigate the reasons for transfer of property by a personal representative of a deceased and must assume that the personal representative is acting correctly and within his or her powers which have been given to Valerie Ann Butler in the court order made the 29th December, 2011 in 1MA30545.
3. Land Registration Rules 2003: 16.If an application is not in order
the registrar may raise such requisitions as the registrar considers
necessary specifying a period (being not les that 20 days) within which the applicant must comply with the requisition. It is noted that attorney Marie –Clair Beasdale has deliberately misrepresented the true facts in her submissions to the adjudicator. Also the HM Land Registrar seems to have breached its duties by only giving 7 days to rectify the requisition given on the first set of UN1 and RX1 notices lodged the 13th January, 2011, when the Land Registration Rules 2003 Rule 16:Applictions Not In order: States: “if an application is not in order the registrar may raise such requisitions as he considers necessary, specifying a period (being not less than twenty business days) within which the applicant must comply with requisitions
4. Marie-Clair Bleasdale did not mention to the adjudicator that that
there were serious allegations in the statements of truth filed in the High Court and with the Adjudicator that someone in the HM Land Registry acted in a wrongful, illegal and/or corrupt way in that something wrongful was cdone with the original UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged on the 13th Januray, 2011 over the title deed of Haywicks Farm by Valerie Jouai to protect her rightful interests in Haywicks Farm, in that on the HM Land Registry Records it shows they were sent out for requisitions to be complied with to solicitors for Valerie Ann Jouai being Simon Muirhead Burtons at their London address, however such UNI and RX1 Notices never arrived at Simon Muirhead Burtons’ s offices and in fact seem to completely disappeared somewhere between the HM Land Registry and/or they never were sent and just placed in a draw somewhere out of the way and/or were thrown in the bin.
Either way they have never been found. It is understood that the INL News Investigation team have a witness form the HM Land registry woul will appear at any trial of this action that will verify what happened to these UN1 an RX1 notices and that they were lost as a favour for the powerful legal firms in Gloucester being Langley wellington and Madge Lloyd Gibson, who fairly well control most of the land registration business in Gloucester and their power base also helped by the fact that one of the main attorneys and partners of Langley Welling is a Deputy Judge and and an assistant coroner in Gloucester and has a lot of power and influence in Gloucester to get anything done he wants done, even if it is wrongful and/or illegal, and thus to get a clerk in the HM Land registry to lose a UN1 and a RX1 Notice and ask for a seven day requisition instead of the statutory 20 business in day requisition request was probably not a very difficult thing to do in consideration they were dealing with Valerie Ann Jouai and her representatives being in Australia handling the matter, and by the time they found out what has happened the title deed of Haywicks Farm would have been registered in the names of Mr and Mrs Urquhart and all a bit legally difficult to correct. After all the expected development
profit from a luxury development of Haywicks Farm into a luxury residential subdivision was expected to be in excess of 20 million pounds and so there was a lot of money at stake for the said Gray Roger Jouai ( his real name being Gary Roger Butler not Gary Roger Jouai) and his silent partners being the various legal firms involved and their development company Edgon Estate Limited and the other development partners Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi. Langley Wellington and Madge Lloyd Gibson knew they had to
get the first UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged with MH Land Registry disappeared and/or lost otherwise they could not have been able to the title of Haywicks Farm transferred to Mr and Mrs Urquhart by a transferred lodge on the 27th January, 2011, unless there first UN1 and RX notices had lapsed by getting them to disappear and so the 7 day requisition notice could not be complied with and would not even no known about. The reason why Madge Lloyd Gibson waited till the 27th January, 2011 to lodge the transfers of Haywicks Farm, because that was after they assumed the original UN1 and RX1 notices would have been fully lapsed because they had been lost. However their plan failed because the due dilligence of Deputy Land Registrar Katharine Brothers who was watching a serious fraud alert on the title deed lodged by Reid and Associates and told Reid and associates on the 14thJanuary, 2011 that the first UN1 and Rx1 Notices had been requisitioned and sent to attorneys Simon Muirhead Burton’s address in London, however it was
quickly ascertained by Reid and Associates that such UNI and RX1 notices never arrived, and thus there was no doubt that they were never sent, sent to the wrong address, and/or put in the bin and a false record of HM Land Registry files stating they had been sent to Simon Muirhead Burton. So action was quickly taken by Valerie Ann Jouai to instructing Reid and Associates to urgently courier over two new replacement UN1 and RX1 notices to replace the ones first lodged on the 13th January, 2011 ( as a continuance of the application notice lodged against Haywicks Farm by Solicitors Simon Miurhead Burton on the 6th January, 20111 for and/or on behalf of Valerie Ann Jouai) and these arrived for lodgment at the HM Land Registry on the 19th January, 2011 and were formally lodged on the 19th January, 2011 by HM Land Registry over the title deed of Haywicks Farm. as replacement UN1 and RX1 Notices, to replaced the UN1 and RX1 Notices that lodged on the 13th January, 2011 that went missing.
5. Some points of the true outline and time line of facts And Law
that Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not present to the adjudicator in
her written and verbal submissions on the 16th February, 2012: (i) Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that everyone that was concerned in the buying, selling and transferring, conveyancing, etc of the property known as Haywicks Farm including legal firms an attorneys Langley Wellington –Mage Lloyd Gibson – Simon James Fisher – Luttons Dunford, the Stroud Council, Estate Agents Fox-Grant and Vince Pullen, the purported seller of the property the said Gary Roger Jouai and the proposed buyers of Haywicks Farm being Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi were all notified and well well aware of the serious allegations form, at least the beginning of December, 2010, (and earlier) that were being alleged against the said Gary Roger Jouai, Attorney Simon James Fisher, Eggletons Solicitors, legal secretary using the name Vivienne Hobbs ( which is a false surname and a false Christian name, the correct Christian name is Vivian, not Vivienne as was used on the fraudulent purported will of the late Herbert Henry Butler purportedly dated January, 1984 and the surname name is not legally Hobbs) and others being involved with a criminal conspiracy to defraud and possibly murder the Late Herbert Henry Butler and the defrauding of the late Herbert Henry Butler’s only child Valerie Ann-Butler of her rights ownership of Haywicks Farm by the use of a fraudulent will and/or not legally witnessed will to obtain a wrongful and/or fraudulent grant of probate for the Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler wrongly naming Gary Roger Jouai as the personal representative of the Estate of the late Herbert Henry Butler with the long term purpose of
the said Gary Roger Jouai fraudulently obtaining the title deed of Haywicks Farm into the name of Gray Roger Jouai. This the two purported buyers of Haywicks Farm, being Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi and their two legal firms Langley Wellington and Madge Lloyd Gibson were all well aware of these serious allegations surrounding claiming a criminal conspiracy against the said Gary Roger Jouai and others as to how the title deed of Haywicks Farm was registered in the name of the said Gary Roger Jouai from at least the beginning of December, 2010 and thus the to propose buyers and their solicitors can not claim their clients are innocent third parties in the proposed purchase of Haywicks Farm. It s also noted that
although they were all well aware of such serious allegations of criminal
nature as to how the said Gary Roger Jouai obtained the title deed of
Haywicks Farm to be registered into the name of the said Gary Roger Jouai, the two buyers of the Haywicks Farm were happy to proceed with the partnership agreement with the said Gary Roger Jouai to development Haywicks Farm through the contracts/agreements/ Overage Agreement and hand over 660,000 and 12,000 pounds to their solicitors Madge Lloyds Gibson as part of the conditions of the development partnership agreement. The answer as to why they were prepared to do this lies in the fact that the to sets of legal firms involved both gave advice that even if such criminal conspiracy was proven to be true, because of the law of Statute of Limitations, the said Gary Roger Joaui and his partners including Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi would be able to get away with defrauding Valerie Ann Butler of her rightful ownership in Haywicks Farm.
However even though master Teverson through that legal argument out at the first hearing of the strike out application in HC11C00743 as not legally valid, neither Mr and Mrs Urquhart nor Mr and Mrs Nicolosi have asked their solicitors Madge Lloyd Gibson for their money back from the day they alleged they paid the 660,000 and 12,000 pounds to Madge Lloyds Gibson on the 17th December, 2010, and have been more than happy to rely on their various legal teams, now amounting to at least five sets of attorneys involved in advising them, on and off the court record, to bulldoze their way through the3 courts with false, and misleading factual and legal submissions and withholding material facts, with none of the sets of legal teams now being game to be officially on court record anymore for Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, because they are all too scared to be seen officially being responsible for the presenting of false and
misleading information to the court and want to advice them from behind the scenes. It is also noted that is is highly unusual that a top attorney like Marie Clair Bleasdale would risk her whole legal career to come to the adjudicator’s hearing presenting so many false and misleading facts and withholding so much material facts and information. It is also highly unusual that a top Attorney like Marie Clair Bleasdale would take direct instructions form a litigant, rather than take than the litigant giving the instructions to a legal form and then the legal firm instructing Attorney Marie-Clair Bleasdale. This situation never happens in the legal process.
Attorneys do not take instructions directly form a litigant, they always
take the instructions from a legal firm who then instructs the attorney.
However, it seems that as Marie-Clair Bleasdale was being blamed by her other clients, legal firm Bude Nathan Iwanier, who were instructed by Finelend Investments Limited, for being sue for one billion pounds in
damages by the INL News Group and others with such damages being caused as a result of advice proved by attorney Marie-Clair Bleasdale, she became desperate and determined to destroy the chance of Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai obtain her Haywicks Farm back because Valerie Ann Bulter.Jouai was being supported by the INL News Legal and Investigative Team that were also suporting Janice Pritchard against Bude Nathan Iwanier and their client Fineland Investments Limited with the INL News Group and other suing Bude Nathan Iwanier and Fineland Investments for one billion pounds in damages.
6. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that there was no
doubt in the evidence filed with the High Court and the Adjudicator that Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, the said Gary Roger Jouai and their legal firms and attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson and Langley Wellington and their estate agents Vince-Pullen and Grant-Fox etc all well know about the serious allegations as to a criminal conspiracy to defraud the late Herbert Henry Butlerand hus only child Valerie Ann Butler of their rights to ownership of Haywicks Farm from at least the beginning of December, 2010 ( and a lot earlier) before contacts were signed between Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, the said Gary Roger Jouai and their legal firms and attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson and Langley Wellington and their estate agents Vince-Pullen and Grant-Fox etc for the proposed sale and purchase of Haywicks Farm and thus Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, can not be considered as innocent third parties to the transactions.
7. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that the proposed
sale and transfer of Haywicks Farm from the said Gary Roger Joaui to Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, was in any respect a normal sale and/or transaction where all present and future rights in Haywicks Farm are transferred to the buyers because the terms of the contacts include a condition that the purchases enter into an overage deed where by 50% of any future increase in value in the next 20 years of Haywicks Farm as a result of any development approval will have to be shared with the said Gary Roger Jouai and the two proposed purchasers Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi on a 50/50 basis, so this is a partnership agreement to develop Haywicks Farm over the next twenty years and not a normal sale transaction.
8. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that did not
mention that the expected new value of Haywicks Farm on 26 acres as prime potential luxury residential development land over the next 20 years would be around 20 million pounds,which is around 30 times the combined price of 672,000 pounds the Hackwicks Farm was being transferred to purchasers Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi for.
9. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that that was an
application notice lodged on the 6th January, 2011 over Haywicks Farm to stop any dealings of the Haywicks Fran title by London legal firm Simon Muirhead and Burton for their Client Valerie Anne Jouai.Butler. and that application notice was renewed three times by London legal firm Simon Muirhead and Burton for their Client Valerie Anne Jouai.Butler and each time the application notice was renews it was extent for a six day period thus the Application Notice ran for 18 days.from the 6th January, 2011 to the 27thth January, 2011 and was continued on the 13th and 19th January, 2011 by UN1 and RX1 Notices.The the UN1 and RX1 notices lodged13th and 19th January, 2011 took over as a continuance of the Application notice.
10. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that the first set of
UN1 and RX1 Notices that were lodged on the 13th January, 2011 over the title deed of Haywicks Farm did not lapse because they did not comply with the statutory minimum 20 business days required for a requisition notice.
They were accidently and/or deliberately lost, mislaid and/or sent to the wrong address so they were never received by the London legal Firm Simon Muirhead Burton at their londo9n office the address for service for Valerie Ann Jouai.Butler for these UN1 and RX1 Notices.
11. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that there were a
second set of UN1 and RX1 notices lodged on the 19th January, 2001 over the title deed of Haywicks Farm to replace the UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged on the 13th January, 2011 that were lost. Mislaid and/or sent to the wrong address ( deliberately and/or accidently by a clerk in HM Land registry Office), which were accepted by HM Land Registry as replacement UN1 and RX1 Notices for the 13th January, 2011 ones and as a continuance of the Application Notice lodged over Haywicks Farm on the 6th January, 2011 that continued by three renewals till the 26th January, 2011.
12. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that in any event the replacement UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged over the title of Haywicks Farm by Valerie Jouai/Butler on the 19th January, 2011 are still and were still current at the date of the Adjudication hearing on the 16th February, 2011, so even if it was considered that the original set of Un1 and RX1 notices lodged on the 13th January, 2011 had lapsed ( which is argued strongly that
they did not lapse) then the second set of UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged on the 19th January, 2011 are still valid and lodged over the title deed of
Haywicks Farm and are a continuance of the Application Notice lodged on the 6th January, 2011.. thus from the 9th January, 2011 onwards and continuing till the 16th February, 2012 and after the 16th February, 2012 there has been a continuing Application and/or UN1 and/or RX1 Notice lodged against the title deed of Haywicks Farm to protect the rights of Valerie Ann Jouai/Butler in the title deed of Haywicks Farm.
13. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale tried to present a false picture of
facts to the Adjudicator that the objection to the application to have a
transfer in the name of Mr and Mrs Urquhart registered on the title deed of Haywicks Farm lodged the 27th January, 2011 was solely based on an email dated 15th February, 2011 from Reid and Associated to the HM Land Registry objecting to the application to have a transfer in the name of Mr and Mrs Urquhart registered on the title deed of Haywicks Farm lodged the 27th January, 2011 and Part 8 Claim HC11C00473 which was issued on the 2-3-2011 by John Carew-Reid as Trustee and Power of Attorney for Valerie Ann Jouai against various defendants which included Mr and Mrs Urquhart, Mr and Mrs Nicolosi and their solicitors Madge Lloyd Gibson, the said Gary Roger Jouai and his solicitors Langley Wellington and others. This presentation of the facts was completely false in that the objection was based on the Application Notice lodged the 6th January, 2011 and the continuance of such Application Notice in the form of UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged the 13t and 19th January, 2011 against the title deed of Haywicks Farm. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale and her clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart, and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi were all well aware that the real legal and factual basis of the objection was originally based on the application notice lodged the 6th January, 2-11 and the continuance of such Application Notice in the form of UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged the 13th and 19th January, 2011 over the title
deed of Haywicks Farm to protect the interests of Valerie Ann Jouai/Butler in Haywicks Farm, and also now the court order made by Judge Iyer in the Manchester Registry in 1MA30545 the 29th December, 2011 ordering that the title deed of Haywicks Farm be transferred to Valerie Ann Butler ( the maiden and birth name of Valerie Ann Jouai). Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale and her clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart, and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, all know full well that the truth of the matter in that all legal actions issued such as the the first two earlier actions in the Cardiff an Queensland Australia Courts in January, 2011, and the later actions HC11C00473 and HC11C04156 to have the legal rights of Valerie Ann Joaui/Butler in Haywicks Farm determined by the courts, which were just in support of such Application Notice lodged 6th January, 2011 and the continuance of that Application Notice being UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged the 13th and 19th January, 2011 and not the main basis of the objections. This was a very tricky and clever type fraud on the court by Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale and was a legal and clever way of presenting a false impression to the Adjudicator but a very dishonest thing to do by Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale.
14. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale has deliberately not told the truth to
the Adjudicator in her written submissions in paragraph when she falsely
states: “ Gary Jouai’s title to the property derives out of a grant of
probate of the will of Herbert Henry Butler. Gary Jouai being the sole
executor and residuary beneficiary of that will. Herbert Henry Butler died
on 18th February, 1990 and Gary Jouai was granted probate on 21st August,
1990. That Grant of Probate has not been revoked.” Attorney Marie Clair
Bleasdale’s clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart, and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi were sent
in the mail on the 13th February, 2011 and also Attorney Marie Clair
Bleasdale and her clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart, and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi
were at the Adjudicators hearing on the 16th February, 2012 given another
copy of the court order made by from District Judge Iyer sitting in the
achester District Registry on the 29th December, 2011 in 1MA30545 which
states that: (i) “An order that the Grant of Probate dated 21st August,
1990 granted in the High Court of Justice Probate Court of Wales for the
Administration of the Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler that
appointed the said,’ Gary Roger Jouai’ as the appointed representative of
the Late Herbert Henry Butler be declared null and void and of no legal
effect. (ii) “ An order that a new Grant of Probate be granted to
Administer the Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler appointed the said
Valerie Ann Butler as the personal representative of the Estate of the Late
Herbert Henry Butler..”
15. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale has deliberately not told the truth to
the Adjudicator by not openly declaring to the Adjudicator that she has
been the main legal counsel directly advising her clients Mr and Mrs
Urquhart, and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi in how to lodge a defense in HC11C0456 and also has been advising her clients in great detail as to what to place in their defense and submissions and how to word their defense in HC11C456 and thus knows the full details of HC11C0456. Thus Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale well knows that until the full determination of HC11C0456 and/or until Valerie wants to by her own agreement, the Adjudicator can not legally by pass the determination of HC11C0456, or the pending leave to appeal in HC11C00473 which is still to be heard at an oral hearing, and can not order the removal of the UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged the 13th and 19th January, 2011 over the title deed of Haywicks Farm and can not order the HM Land Registry to register the transfers from the said Gary Roger Jouai to P L Urquhart an J A Urquhart of the property known as Haywicks Farm.
16. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale has deliberately not instructed the
adjudicator on the law that the order made by District Judge Iyer on the 29
th December, 2011 in 1MA30545 “ordering that the HM Land Registry amend the
title deed of Haywicks Farm to show Valerie Ann Butler as the registered
owner of such property”… is conclusive and can not be interfered with by
the Adjudicator and that the HM Land Registry are forced in law to
immediately act on such court order to immediately register the title deed
of Haywicks Farm in the name of Valerie Ann Butler
17. It is also noted that Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jacqeline Ann
Urquhart have deliberately lied to the High Court of Justice and the
Adjudicator when they have stated: (i) They both had no idea and/or
knowledge of any sort prior to the 2nd March, 2011 of the serious
allegations of the said Gary Roger Jouai, legal Firm Eccletons and their
family development company Egton Estates Limited, Legal From Madge Lloyd
Gibson, Legal Firs Luttons Dunford, Attorney Simon James Fisher, Legal Firs
Langley Wellington an others being involved in a criminal conspiracy
started in 1884 to 2010 and continuing to help the title deed of haywicks
Farmto be wrongly and/or fraudulently registered in the name of the said
Gary Roger Jouai., in circumstances that there are a number of statements
on the High Court of Justice files and the Adjudicator files proving
conclusively that these statements are untrue and that the facts that Mr
and Mrs Urquhart and their attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson, well knew about such serious allegations of a criminal conspiracy involving Haywicks Farm against the said Gary Roger Jouai from at least the beginning of December, 2010 and as far as their legal firm Madge Lloyd Gibson advising them on the settlement and transfer of Haywicks Farm, they have known about such serious allegations since 1990.
18. It is also noted that Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jacqeline Ann
Urquhart have deliberately lied to the Adjudicator when they have stated: That they do not have formal legal representation and/or help in dealing with the Adjudicator regarding their claimed right to have HM Land Registry process their application dated the 27th January, 2011 to register the transfer the remainder of the property known as Haywicks Farm from the said Gary Roger Jouai to PE and J A Urquhart. They have stated in a statement and submissions to the Ajudicator that the only legal assistance they have has is a little assistance from a friend who is a solicitor, and have given the Adjudicator that they were mainly dealing with the matter themselves without formal legal assistance. The without any warning to Valerie Ann Butler/Joaui, Mr and Mrs Urquhart appear with Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale , who is one of the top attorneys in London that specialises in land argument matters, to appear for them against an old very sick old lady in her 70’s (Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai) before the Adjudicator on the 16th
February, 2012, with well researched and detailed legal and factual
submissions that obviously took a number of weeks to research and put
together because of the great detail in them and were not a last minute
rushed set of submissions. Valerie An Butler/Jouai is a very frail sick
old lady in her 70’s that known noting about the a law and how the argue
her rights who has travelled all the way from Australia for the hearing,
even though she is English by birth and spent the first half of her life in
England.
19. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale came armed with a well researched and
detailed set of factual and legal submissions at the hearing before the
Adjudicator on the 16th February, 2012 which had never been seen before by
Valerie Ann Butler Jouai, who though she was going to attend a friendly
sort of adjudication hearing where she and the Urquharts were going to
speak for themselves in lay mans terms and try and sort things out on a
friendly basis. Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai was not even given an adjournment to be able to be try and read and understand such detailed factual and legal submissions prepared by one of the top Attorneys in that specialises in land an property arguments . Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai this had no chance to respond to the detailed legal and factual submissions, let alone even had a chance to read them. The fact that such legally and factually detailed and complex submissions were presented against Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai an only first given to her at the hearing and not the normal at least 24 hours before, which is a standard minimum, and when there is a top Attorney against a frail old sick lady who knows nothing about the law, the such detailed factual and legal submission should have been provided at least seven days before the hearing date to Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai. Civil law is not meant be won by ambushing the opponent. The whole concept of
civil law is for each side to present their factual and legal submissions
and arguments to the other side to give the other side a chance to respond
to these factual and legal arguments, to find out where they agree or
disagree on the facts and were they agree or disagree on the law. Then when
there is a disagreement of the facts and the law then it is then up to the
adjudicator, magistrate, judge etc to hear the evidence on the facts form
all parties and decide what the true facts are and then adjudicate on the
law based on these settled facts. That is why all sides are obligated under
the riles in civil hearings of any kind to provide the facts and law they
are going to rely on at the hearing to their opponent at the earliest
opportunity as possible as soon as they are prepared. If detailed,
statements, and factual and legal submissions are given at the hearing
without notice to the other side the adjudicator, magistrate, judge etc
hearing the matter is duty bound to adjourn the hearing to another date to give the opponent to chance to read, understand and respond to these last submissions. The adjudicator failed in his duty in not giving and adjournment to Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai to respond to these last minute detailed legal and factual submissions presented to her for the first time at the hearing on the 16th February, 2012 by Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale should have appologised to the Adjudicator and Valerie Ann Butelr/Jouai for the late service of her submissions and actual herself insisted that there be an adjournment to the adjudication hearing to give Valerie Ann Butelr/Jouai a chance to obtain some legal avice on Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale’s very detailed factual and legal submissions.
20. It is noted that had there been an adjournment to the proceedings
before the Adjudicator on the 16th February, 2012 to another date, then
Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai would have had the opportunity to ask the free
help of the INL News Legal Team, as she has done now, to read and analyse the detailed factual and legal submission presented by Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale an have the INL news Legal and Investigation Team respond to them for her. Thus by the time of the next hearing date all the falsities, misleading statements and withholding of material facts and misleading submissions , misleading time line would have been exposed in written submissions in opposition as they have now been exposed is these submissions.
21. It is also note that it was false for Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale
to state in her verbal and written submissions that the leave to appeal
application in Hc11C00473 has been finally determined when in actual fact John Carew-Reid is expecting a hearing date to be set in about the middle of March,2012 for an oral hearing to argue leave to appeal the decision oMaster Teverson to strike out claim HC11C00473.
, the INL News Group have given so many warnings to stop presenting false
information to the courts & adjudicators on behalf of your clients to
obtain fraudulent & or wrongful court orders for your clients. The INL News
journalist /actor Today reported that you have lied again. You have to
write to the adjudicator & request his orders to be cancelled because you
deliberately lied in your written submissions presented to Adjudicator Owen
Rhys & withheld material information. P2 of submissions false & you did not
mention hc11c04156 which P & U Urquhart have stated you advised them on as
they have requested your costs to be paid to the court. You have been given
the court cases showing you will end up in jail & lose your license to
practice law for the criminal contempt you committed today. The INL News
Group have gone easy on you up to now because you are female & not a
freemason. However the INL News group's patience is running. The editors of

Please note the submissions and serious allegations against yourself and Owen Rhys acting as the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and your clients
Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and others acting in what appears to be a criminal conspiracy to defraud Valerie Ann Butler and her partners in Haywicks
We hereby attach a copy of the Regulatory requirements of Code of Conduct that the Barristers Board have set down for you to operate under and maintain.
Reading the attached submissions that are also attached to HC12C00678 in opposition to your fraudulent, false an misleading submissions presented to Owen Rhys acting a the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry applying for a stay on the orders made by Owen Rhys over the title deed of Haywicks Farm, it is clear you have many times breached the Regulatory requirements of Code of Conduct that the Barristers Board have set down for you to operate under and maintain. We would image the best course of action is for an application should be made to the Bar Standards Board to ask them to remove your license to practice as a Barrister in England and Wales so you cannot kept carrying on in the deceitful and wrongful way using your good name as a barrister and a recorder who acts as a crown Court Judge five week a years to try and convince adjudicators, magistrate, and judges that the fabrications, falsities and misrepresentations that you present at the bar table are true.
The whole of the English Court System relies on Barrister, Attorneys and Solicitors telling the truth at the bar table and not presenting false and misleading information. When you obtained a license to practice as a barrister you swore an oath to always tell the truth at the bar table in your written and verbal submissions. You have clearly deliberately beached that oath for the payment of a large fee for your clients and in doing so have breached your clear duty to the court and/or land adjudication process (which is a type of court) which are set out in red below.
The INL News Legal, Investigative and Editorial Team are at present looking through your files to see whether they should:
(a) prepare and issue a High Court Criminal Contempt of Court Application against you for orders
(i) to have your license to practice as an attorney/barrister removed;
(ii) for your imprisonment and/or
(iii) a heavy fine and damages against yourself that have have been caused as a result of your deliberately criminal contempt in knowingly preparing and presenting false and misleading factual and legal submissions to Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Registry on the 16th February, 2012 in the Haywicks Farm Matter.
Of course your criminal type behaviour in clear breach of your duties to the court as a practicing attorney/barrister does not excuse Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, and HM Land Registry in their criminal type involvement with in this matter with they also well knowing that your submissions were false and misleading and that the factual basis on which the the order made by Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry on the 16th February, 2012 in file reference 2011/0422- known as the Haywicks Farm Matter is based on false facts and false submissions presented by yourself, which not only you knew to be false, but also Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, HM Land Registry and your clients Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Urquhart knew to be false. That is why it is alleged that yourself, Owen Rhys Acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, HM Land Registry and your clients Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Urquhart and others are all involved in a criminal type conspiracy to defraud Valerie Ann Butler and her partners Thomas Allwood and Stephen Carew-Reid ( the author of the well known series of books "The Triumph of Truth ( Who is Watching The Watchers?" that specialise in exposing corrupt, criminal, illegal, immoral and/or wrongful behaviour in the legal, political, business, and police systems throughout the world, and particular wrongful behaviour by attorneys, barristers, solicitors, magistrates, judges, adjudicators because if they are allowed to get with wrongful an/or corrupt type behaviour then the whole integrity of the English Law System will break down), of the rightful and lawful rights in Haywicks Farm,
(b) Make a formal complaint about your criminal type behaviour to the Bar Standards Board,
and/or
(c) expose your criminal type behaviour in news articles in world wide websites
with a news headline
High Priced Star Radcliffe Chambers London Attorney Marie-Claire Bleadale well paid to tell lies in court for her clients and breaches her duty to the court not act in a dishonest or otherwise discreditable manner as a Attorney/barrister and breached her overriding duty as an Attorney/Barrister to the Court to act with independence in the interests of

MARIE....
What happens next is entirely in your court.
It is not the aim of the INL News Group to destroy a well respected and talented attorney/barrister such as yourself. in particular because you are a female and this not a Freemason and the English Legal System needs more female non Freemason Attorneys/Barristers to create a balance of power in the legal system that has been for centuries controlled by mainly male Freemasons.
Marie you have been well paid and used by senior Feemasons such as Peter Urquhart and his legal Freemason partners and associates involved with helping Peter Uquhart defraud Valerie An Butler and her partners Thomas Allwood and Stephen Carew-Reid of their rightful and lawful ownership of Haywicks Farm. You have been also used by other senior Freemasons in the Janice Pritchard cases over the fight over ownership and possession of the property known as 1 Garratt Close, Beddington, Surrey that has now caused Stephen Carew-Reid, the INL News Group, Thomas Allwood, Fusako Tusji and the other partners in the planned Fringe Shows Have Talent TV Show to sue your clients for one billion pounds in damages for being responsible for the loss of unreplaceable film, video and music files from 1 Garratt Close, Bedington, Surrey, London, that were to be used in the production of the planned Fringe Shows Have Talent TV Show.
We appreciate and understand that the pressure and blame has been out on you for the legal advice you provided to Attorneys- Bude Natham Iwanier, and their clients Fineland Investments Limited, Nathan Tietelbaum and others that has caused them to all to be sued as being jointly and severally liable for the one billion pounds sterling in damages claimed against them by Stephen Carew-Reid, the INL News Group, Thomas Allwood, Fusako Tusji and the other partners in the planned Fringe Shows Have Talent TV Show. That is why you felt the only way out was to set a plan in place to try and destroy anyone connected with the INL News Group and who might use their assets for legal fees to help fight your clients in the courts and thus you thought by presenting a lot of false and misleading submissions to Owen Rhys, acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry on the 16th February, 2012, knowing you had Owen Rhys, a corrupt Freemason Adjudicator hearing the case, who even know he knew a lot of what you presented on the 16th February, 2012 was false and misleading, you would make sure that Valerie Ann Jouai and her partners in Haywicks Farm being Stephen Carew-Reid and Thomas Allwood who are founding members and shareholders of the INL News Group who lose Haywicks Farm which has potential development value of over 20 million pounds sterling, and make sure Peter Leslie Urquhart and his fellow Freemason Partners end up with Haywicks Farm after plotting and scheming a criminal conspiracy since the early 1980's to illegally, unlawfully and/or wrongfully obtaining the ownership of Haywicks Farm.
We will leave things up to you to see what happens next in this sordid affair.

We suggest that you have another good read of all the correspondence and agreement files that are between Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi and the said “Gary Roger Jouai”^ and two sets of former attorneys, Madge Lloyds Gibson and Langley Wellington, and you see clearly that even though the transfers and contracts had been signed and dated the 13th December, 2011, even as late at the end of February, 2011 the said “Gary Roger Jouai’s” former solicitors Langley Wellington, were making it quite clear that unless certain legal issues were resolved and agreed between the parties, then the two sets of contracts for the proposed and purchase and sale of Haywicks Farm would be declared null and void and the two parts of
Haywicks Farm will revert back to the name of the said “Gary Roger Butler” and the two proposed purchasers, Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi would have their money returned in full.
The quite false story that is being presented to the court and the
Adjudicator
Now, it is also a clear and undisputed fact that, besides that fact that
your clients and their attorneys, the estate agents involved with the sale of Haywicks Farm, the Stroud Council, Attorney Simon James Fisher and his legal firm Luttons-Dunford and others involved in the Haywicks Farm deal, Estate of the LATE HERBET Henry Butler etc were well informed from at least November, 2010 onwards of the serious allegations of fraud involving the purported will of the Late Herbert Henry Butler dated January, 1984 and the a forged will and/or not properly executed will, was used to obtain the Grant of Probate naming the said “Gary Roger Jouai” as the sole administrator and beneficiary of the residual Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler, but from the 6th January, 2011 onwards, Valerie Butler/Jouai and/or her representatives had placed warning notices over the title deed of Haywicks
Your clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart have not once in the 18 months this has all being going on, asked for their money back from the two sets of
attorneys . (Madge Lloyd Gibson and Langley Wellington) and/or have showed any willingness and/or interest in walking away from the proposed purchase of Haywicks Farm and requesting their money back. In fact when the selling agent were approached at the end of November, 2010 about the property by Jamison and Associates, who said that the property was sold. Amison then said, well we have a buyer for one million pounds, so if the vendor can in any way get out of the deal, then their buyer will be willing to pay 340,000 pounds sterling more than the asking price on the internet, and if for any reason the vendor can not get out of the sale, then Jamison and Associates buyer will be prepared to pay the buyers, one million pounds for Haywicks Farm, which would be a 340,000 pounds sterling instant profit for them, which is 50% instant return on their original outlay of 660,000 pounds sterling. The answer came back that neither the original owner or the new buyer were at all interested in looking at the offer of one million pounds sterling for Haywicks Farm This is all rather odd behavior, if Haywicks Farm was sold for its true value. The reality is that Haywicks Farm being on 26 acres with a two street frontage, ( Haywicks Lane a gazzeted road running between the property), has a strong potential to be approved for the development of a very valuable luxury housing estate with
a likely profit from such development approval of over 20 million pound
sterling. That is why the vendor the said “Gary Roger Jouai” and his former attorneys Langley Wellington, made is clear to any interested buyer that he was not in the least interested in selling th4 property for 660,000 pounds sterling as a straight out sale, where the buyer receives all increases in value from any future development approval, and the cheap price of 660,000 pounds sterling was only available to a proposed purchaser on the condition that the purchaser agreed to allow an overage deed to be part of the contract of sale where by the purchaser will have to pay the vendor 50% of any increase in valuation of Haywicks Farm in the next 20 years as a result of any development approval on the land that makes up Haywicks Farm.
This means that if the development of a luxury residential estate was
approved in say 15 years time that meant the new valuation of the land
comprising of Haywicks Farm was 30,660,000 pounds sterling, then the
Urquharts and the Nicolosi’s would have to pay the said “Gary Roger Joaui” a further 15, million pounds sterling. However on the plus side for the Urquharts and the Nicolosi’s is that they could sell the property to a
property developer for 30,660,000 and walk away with 15.660,000, being 15 million pounds net profit. It is no wonder that the Urquharts and the Nicolosi’s were not in the least interested in taking a small profit of 340,000 pounds sterling ( the Urquarts would have received the lions share of this), there was a lot more profit in it than that. Also it was actually almost impossible for them to on sell the property as a straight sale, as there was no straight purchase ( it was a development partnership agreement), as they would have to on sell their right and obligations in the property which also included the buyer having to agree to take over the responsibilities of the overage agreement.
Now the factual background to all this over the last 30 years shows clearly that the same set of solicitors that were involved with creating the forged and/or not formally witnessed will purportedly dated January, 1984 (Eccletons, whom attorney Simon James Fisher worked for at the time that they used to create the forged and/or not formally witnessed will purportedly dated January, 1984) were also the attorneys for Peter Leslie Ann Jaqueline Ann Urquhart for 30 years. Then when Eggletons were struck off as solicitors by the Legal Complaints Tribunal, all their clients were taken over by Attorneys Mage Lloyd Gibson. Now add the fact that it was Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson that were used to present the quite obviously not formerly executed and/or witnessed will of the Late Herbert Henry Butler purportedly dated January, 1984. to the Probate District Registrar to have the grant of Probate issued in August, 1990 making the said “Gary Roger Jouai” as sole administrator and beneficiary of the residue estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler, Then it is attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson that
represents, encourages and guides Peter Leslie Ann Jaqueline Ann Urquhart on the purchase of Haywicks Farm the whole affair becomes more and more incestuous. Then when Madge Lloyd Gibson is sued as HC11C00473 long with Mr and Mrs Urquhart and others, it is Rickerbys Attorneys whom Colin Gibson, one of the founder’s of Madge Lloyd Gibson,("Colin Gibson" < colin.gibson@rickerbys.com>) is a partner, that takes up the defense for Madge Lloyd Gibson, Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi. Now neither Madge Lloyd Gibson or Rickerby’s want anything to do with defending either Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi. And left them to hang out to dry, because......
"They have too much to cover up. In fact evem Master Teverson said at the first strike out hearing of HC11C00473 that they avised Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi. To obtain some separate legal and independent advice from Madge Lloyd Gibson and Rickerbys. This was because the Master could see quite clearly that Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi. had a professional negligence claim against Madge Lloyd Gibson if made Lloyd Gibson did not get their 660,000 an 12,000 pounds sterling back.
As much as Valerie Ann Butler would like all this to end, she also would
also quite welcome a full trial of this matter where everyone involve had
to give evidence under oath and the whole truth of the matter is brought light.
If your clients Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart are not prepared to
withdraw their application from HM Land registry to have the transfer of
Haywicks Farm lodged on the 27th January, 2011 processed into their name, then could you please respond as soon as possible to the below submissions in opposition and response to your submissions handed to Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai for the first time at the hearing on the 16th February, 2012 before Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry

Just have spoken to the INLNews jourmalist that attended the hearing today before adjudicator Owen Rhys and it seems that the editorial people are keen to put a article about your illegal,wrongful, & or immoral activities in the courts and adjudicator hearings.
You seem to keen to become famous for the wrong reasons, to become known on the world stage as a high priced attorney that makes her living from telling lies to the courts & withhold material information from the courts for your clients. Just as you have done today for clients P & J Urquhart by lying in your submissions that there was no order to amend probate of the estate of Henry Herbert Butler, when you & your clients are well aware that there is a High Court Order made 29th December in 1MA30545 by District Judge Iyer," that a new grant of probate be granted to administer the Estate of the Late Henry Herbert Butler appointing the said Valerie Ann Butler as the personal representative of the Late Henry Herbert Butler."
You then withheld presenting a copy of HC11C04156 being a Current High Court Action issued in the High Court of Justice Chancery Division being Valerie Ann Butler Claimant v P E Urquhart and J A Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi for declarations that the purported land contracts, agreements and overage deeds were of no valid to legal effect and were null and void. You have read the judgment and directions of Master Teverson striking out the original claim HC11C00473 issued by John Carew-Reid as trustee and power of attorney for Valerie Ann Joaui against Gary Roger Joaui and others to try and obtain a judicial determination as to the Valerie Ann Joaui’s rights to Haywicks Farm, which was struck out only for the reason the master Teverson
believed that Mr Carew-Reid did not have the legal right to issue such
action in his own name as Trustee and power of Attorney for Valerie Ann
Joaui, and in fact gave directions in his judgment to Valerie Ann
Joaui/Butler that she should commence a new High Court Claim in her name against P E Urquhart and J A Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi for
declarations that for declarations that the purported land contracts,
agreements and overage deeds were of no valid to legal effect and were null and void., and a separate claim against the said Gary Roger Joaui to obtain a court order that the original grant of probate granted to the said Gary Roger Jouai had no legal effect and was null and void and a new grant of probate be granted to administer the Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler appointing Valerie Ann Butler as the personal representative of the Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler. and for a further order that “HM Registry of Land Titles amend the HM Land Registry records for the property known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucester, GL2 6QE being Title Number GR327583 by deleting the name of the said gary Roger Jouai and replacing with Valerie Ann Butler as the registered owner of the property known as Haywicks Farm title number GR327583”
(The overage deeds were a term of these contracts and agreements which have the legal effect that these were not normal sales between seller and buyer for all of the rights of the property of Haywicks Farm to be transferred to the buyer, however was in effect a development partnership agreement between the said Gary Roger Jouai and P E Urquhart and J A Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi whereby the buyers paid over a very small portion of the potential worth of the Haywicks Farm and that for the next 20 years when the property known as Haywicks Farm is approved for development then the profit and valuation difference between the valuation of the property based
on the development approval and the amounts to be paid over to the said Gary Roger Jouai being 660,000 pounds from Mr and Mrs Urquhart and 12,000 pounds from Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, would be shared on a 50.50 basis between the said Gary Roger Jouai an Mr and Mrs Urquhart and 12,000 pounds from Mr and Mrs Nicolosi).
So as a result of Master Teverson’s directions in his judgment striking out HC11C00473 Valerie Ann Butler using her maiden-birth name, in respect to her late father Herbert Henry Butler to keep the Butler Family name on the title deed on Haywicks Farm, as her Husband hade died, issued two new High# Court Claims HC11C04156 (still waiting or a trial to be set down for hearing) and 1MA30545 which has been finalized as per court order made the 29th December, 2011 by District Judge Iyer sitting at Manchester District Registry. As attached to this letter which you and you clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi had a copy of on the 14th February, 2011 as posted by guaranteed delivery to your clients on the 13th February, 2012 the day the court extracted the order for the first time, even though it was made the 29th December, 2011, the court having appologised for the delay in extracting the order.
You are well aware that the appeal in HC11C00473 against Master Teverson’s directions in his judgment striking out HC11C00473 has not legally been fully determined with John Carew-Reid as Trustee and Power of Attorney for Valerie Ann Joaui still awaiting for a hearing of the oral leave to appeal hearing application. The judges listing have stated that it is likely that this leave to appeal application will not be listed til sometime in the middle of March, 2012.Then if leave to appeal is refused then we are informed Mr John Carew-Reid will appeal against that decision to the Court of Appeal, and that is likely to take another six months at least to be dealt with, and the Adjudicator to the HM Land registry can not make any orders and/or directions to the HM Land Registry until that appeal processes involving HC11C00473are all fully dealt with and fully determined.
Some of the Factual and Legal issues and problems with summary of facts and summary of law presented by Attorney Marie-Clair Bleasdale to the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry on the 16th February, 2012 in the hearing of Peler Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart applicant and Valerie Ann Jouai and John Carew-Reid Respondents over the property known as Haywicks Farm Title Number GR327583 also known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Harwicke, Gloucester, GL2 9QE.
1. Section 204- law of property Act 1925- Orders of the Court
Conclusive. So the court order made of the 29th December, 2011 by District Judge Iyer sitting at Manchester District Registry, Civil Justice Centre, 1 Bridge Street, West, Manchester, M60 9DI is completely conclusive and takescomplete priority over everything- Thus HM land registry must act on this court order above all other directions from the Adjudicator to the HM Land Registry- Adjudicator has no power to overrule Court order from District Judge Iyer- If Adjudicator is acting in a correct, proper and non corrupt way in carrying out his duties as an adjudicator then the adjudicator has no choice but to instruct the HM land Registry to act on this court order –
Until this order is set aside nothing else can be done by the Applicants-Mr and Mrs Urquharts to oppose the registration of the title deed of
Haywicks Farm being registered in the name of Valerie Ann Butler- The HM Land Registry must immediately act and register the property known as Haywicks Farm Title Number GR327583 also known as Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Harwicke, Gloucester, GL2 9QE. Into the name of Valerie Ann Butler.
2. Land registration Rules 2003/1417-Misellaneous and Special cases death of a proprietor- 162- Transfer by a personal representative (i) an application to register by a personal representative who is not already registered as proprietor, must be accompanied by a court order appointed the transferor as the deceased personal representative. Thus the court order made by Iyer J in the High Court of Justice, Manchester Registrysatisfies this land registration rule because in paragraph 2 of the court
order it states: “2. An order that a new grant of probate be granted to
administer the estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler appointing the said Valerie Ann Butler as the personal representative of the Estate if the Late Herbert Henry Butler (ii) The registrar is under no duty to investigate the reasons for transfer of property by a personal representative of a deceased and must assume that the personal representative is acting correctly and within his or her powers which have been given to Valerie Ann Butler in the court order made the 29th December, 2011 in 1MA30545.
3. Land Registration Rules 2003: 16.If an application is not in order
the registrar may raise such requisitions as the registrar considers
necessary specifying a period (being not les that 20 days) within which the applicant must comply with the requisition. It is noted that attorney Marie –Clair Beasdale has deliberately misrepresented the true facts in her submissions to the adjudicator. Also the HM Land registrar seems to have breached its duties by only giving 7 days to rectify the requisition given on the first set of UN1 and RX1 notices lodged the 13th January, 2011, when the Land Registration Rules 2003 Rule 16:Applictions Not In order: States:
“if an application is not in order the registrar may raise such
requisitions as he considers necessary, specifying a period (being not less than twenty business days) within which the applicant must comply with requisitions
4. Marie-Clair Bleasdale did not mention to the adjudicator that that
there were serious allegations in the statements of truth filed in the High Court and with the Adjudicator that someone in the HM Land Registry acted in a wrongful, illegal and/or corrupt way in that something wrongful was done with the original UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged on the 13th Januray, 2011 over the title deed of Haywicks Farm by Valerie Jouai to protect her
rightful interests in Haywicks Farm, in that on the HM Land Registry
Records it shows they were sent out for requisitions to be complied with to solicitors for Valerie Ann Jouai being Simon Muirhead Burtons at their
London address, however such UNI and RX1 Notices never arrived at Simon Muirhead Burtons’ s offices and in fact seem to completely disappeared somewhere between the HM Land Registry and/or they never were sent and just placed in a draw somewhere out of the way and/or were thrown in the bin.
Either way they have never been found. It is understood that the INL News Investigation team have a witness form the HM Land registry woul will appear at any trial of this action that will verify what happened to these UN1 an RX1 notices and that they were lost as a favour for the powerful legal firms in Gloucester being Langley wellington and Madge Lloyd Gibson, who fairly well control most of the land registration business in Gloucester and their power base also helped by the fact that one of the main attorneys and partners of Langley Welling is a Deputy Judge and and an assistant coroner in Gloucester and has a lot of power and influence in Gloucester to get anything done he wants done, even if it is wrongful and/or illegal, and thus to get a clerk in the HM Land registry to lose a UN1 and a RX1 Notice and ask for a seven day requisition instead of the statutory 20 business in day requisition request was probably not a very difficult thing to do in consideration they were dealing with Valerie Ann Jouai and her representatives being in Australia handling the matter, and by the time they found out what has happened the title deed of Haywicks Farm would have been registered in the names of Mr and Mrs Urquhart and all a bit legally difficult to correct. After all the expected development profit from a luxury development of Haywicks Farm into a luxury residential subdivision was expected to be in excess of 20 million pounds and so there was a lot of money at stake for the said Gray Roger Jouai ( his real name being Gary Roger Butler not Gary Roger Jouai) and his silent partners being the various legal firms involved and their development company Edgon Estate Limited and the other development partners Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi. Langley Wellington and Madge Lloyd Gibson knew they had to get the first UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged with MH Land Registry disappeared and/or lost otherwise they could not have been able to the title of Haywicks Farm transferred to Mr and Mrs Urquhart by a transferred lodge on the 27th January, 2011, unless there first UN1 and RX notices had lapsed by getting them to disappear and so the 7 day requisition notice could not be complied with and would not even no known about. The reason why Madge Lloyd Gibson waited till the 27th January, 2011 to lodge the transfers of Haywicks Farm, because that was after they assumed the original UN1 and RX1 notices would have been fully lapsed because they had been lost. However their plan failed because the due dilligence of Deputy Land Registrar Katherine Brothers who was watching a serious fraud alert on the title deed lodged by Reid and Associates and told Reid and associates on the 14thJanuary, 2011 that the first UN1 and Rx1 Notices had been requisitioned and sent to attorneys Simon Muirhead Burton’s address in London, however it was
quickly ascertained by Reid and Associates that such UNI and RX1 notices never arrived, and thus there was no doubt that they were never sent, sent to the wrong address, and/or put in the bin and a false record of HM land Registry files stating they had been sent to Simon Muirhead Burton. So action was quickly taken by Valerie Ann Jouai to instructing Reid and Associates to urgently courier over two new replacement UN1 and RX1 notices to replace the ones first lodged on the 13th January, 2011 ( as a continuance of the application notice lodged against Haywicks Farm by Solicitors Simon Miurhead Burton on the 6th January, 20111 for and/or on behalf of Valerie Ann Jouai) and these arrived for lodgment at the HM Land Registry on the 19th January, 2011 and were formally lodged on the 19thJanuary, 2011 by HM Land Registry over the title deed of Haywicks Farm. as replacement UN1 and RX1 Notices, to replaced the UN1 and RX1 Notices that lodged on the 13th January, 2011 that went missing.
5. Some points of the true outline and time line of facts And Law
that Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not present to the adjudicator in
her written and verbal submissions on the 16th February, 2012: (i) Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that everyone that was concerned in the buying, selling and transferring, conveyancing, etc of the property known as Haywicks Farm including legal firms an attorneys Langley Wellington –Mage Lloyd Gibson – Simon James Fisher – Luttons Dunford, the Stroud Council, Estate Agents Fox-Grant and Vince Pullen, the purported seller of the property the said Gary Roger Jouai and the proposed buyers of Haywicks Farm being Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi were all notified and well well aware of the serious allegations form, at least the beginning of December, 2010, (and earlier) that were being alleged against the said Gary Roger Jouai, Attorney Simon James Fisher, Eggletons Solicitors, legal secretary using the name Vivienne Hobbs ( which is a false surname and a false Christian name, the correct Christian name is Vivian, not Vivienne as was used on the fraudulent purported will of the late Herbert Henry Butler purportedly dated January, 1984 and the surname name is not legally Hobbs) and others being involved with a criminal
conspiracy to defraud and possibly murder the Late Herbert Henry Butler and the defrauding of the late Herbert Henry Butler’s only child Valerie Ann-Butler of her rights ownership of Haywicks Farm by the use of a fraudulent will and/or not legally witnessed will to obtain a wrongful and /or fraudulent grant of probate for the Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler wrongly naming Gary Roger Jouai as the personal representative of the Estate of the late Herbert Henry Butler with the long term purpose of the said Gary Roger Jouai fraudulently obtaining the title deed of Haywicks Farm into the name of Gray Roger Joaui. This the two purported buyers of Haywicks Farm, being Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi and their two legal firms Langley Wellington and Madge Lloyd Gibson were all well aware of these serious allegations surrounding claiming a criminal conspiracy against the said Gary Roger Jouai and others as to how the title deed of Haywicks Farm was registered in the name of the said Gary Roger Jouai from at least the beginning of December, 2010 and thus the to proposed buyers and their solicitors can not claim their clients are innocent third parties in the proposed purchase of Haywicks Farm. It s also noted that although they were all well aware of such serious allegations of criminal nature as to how the said Gary Roger Jouai obtained the title deed of cHaywicks Farm to be registered into the name of the said Gary Roger Jouai, the two buyers of the Haywicks Farm were happy to proceed with the
partnership agreement with the said Gary Roger Jouai to development
Haywicks Farm through the contracts/agreements/ Overage Agreement and hand over 660,000 and 12,000 pounds to their solicitors Madge Lloyds Gibson as part of the conditions of the development partnership agreement. The answer as to why they were prepared to do this lies in the fact that the to sets of legal firms involved both gave advice that even if such criminal conspiracy was proven to be true, because of the law of Statute of
Limitations, the said Gary Roger Joaui and his partners including Mr and
Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi would be able to get away with
defrauding Valerie Ann Butler of her rightful ownership in Haywicks Farm.
However even though master Teverson through that legal argument out at the
first hearing of the strike out application in HC11C00743 as not legally
valid, neither Mr and Mrs Urquhart nor Mr and Mrs Nicolosi have asked their solicitors Madge Lloyd Gibson for their money back from the day they alleged they paid the 660,000 and 12,000 pounds to Madge Lloyds Gibson on the 17th December, 2010, and have been more than happy to rely on their various legal teams, now amounting to at least five sets of attorneys involved in advising them, on and off the court record, to bulldoze their way through the courts with false, and misleading factual and legal submissions and withholding material facts, with none of the sets of legal teams now being game to be officially on court record anymore for Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, because they are all too scared to be seen officially being responsible for the presenting of false and misleading information to the court and want to advice them from behind the scenes. It is also noted that is is highly unusual that a top attorney like Marie Clair Bleasdale would risk her whole legal career to come to the adjudicator’s hearing presenting so many false and misleading facts and withholding so much material facts and information. It is also highly unusual that a top Attorney like Marie Clair Bleasdale would take direct instructions form a litigant, rather than take than the litigant giving the instructions to a legal form and then the legal firm instructing Attorney Marie-Clair Bleasdale. This situation never happens in the legal process.
Attorneys do not take instructions directly form a litigant, they always
take the instructions from a legal firm who then instructs the attorney.
However, it seems that as Marie-Clair Bleasdale was being blamed by her other clients, legal firm Bude Nathan Iwanier, who were instructed by Finelend Investments Limited, for being sue for one billion pounds in
damages by the INL News Group and others with such damages being caused as a result of advice proved by attorney Marie-Clair Bleasdale, she became desperate and determined to destroy the chance of Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai obtain her Haywicks Farm back because Valerie Ann Bulter.Jouai was being supported by the INL News Legal and Investigative Team that were also suporting Janice Pritchard against Bude Nathan Iwanier and their client Fineland Investments Limited with the INL News Group and other suing Bude Nathan Iwanier and Fineland Investments for one billion pounds in damages.
6. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that there was no
doubt in the evidence filed with the High Court and the Adjudicator that Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, the said Gary Roger Jouai and their legal firms and attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson and Langley Wellington and their estate agents Vince-Pullen and Grant-Fox etc all well know about the serious allegations as to a criminal conspiracy to defraud the late Herbert Henry Butler and his only child Valerie Ann Butler of their rights to ownership of Haywicks Farm from at least the beginning of December, 2010 (nd a lot earlier) before contacts were signed between Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, the said Gary Roger Jouai and their legal firms and attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson and Langley Wellington and their estate agents Vince-Pullen and Grant-Fox etc for the proposed sale and purchase of Haywicks Farm and thus Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, can not be considered as innocent third parties to the transactions.
7. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that the proposed
sale and transfer of Haywicks Farm from the said Gary Roger Joaui to Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, was in any respect a normal sale and/or transaction where all present and future rights in Haywicks Farm are transferred to the buyers because the terms of the contacts include a condition that the purchases enter into an overage deed where by 50% of any future increase in value in the next 20 years of Haywicks Farm as a result of any development approval will have to be shared with the said Gary Roger Jouai and the two proposed purchasers Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi on a 50/50 basis, so this is a partnership agreement to develop Haywicks Farm over the next twenty years and not a normal sale transaction.
8. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that did not
mention that the expected new value of Haywicks Farm on 26 acres as prime potential luxury residential development land over the next 20 years would be around 20 million pounds,which is around 30 times the combined price of 672,000 pounds the Hackwicks Farm was being transferred to purchasers Mr and Mrs Urquhart and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi for.
9. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that that was an
application notice lodged on the 6th January, 2011 over Haywicks Farm to stop any dealings of the Haywicks Fran title by London legal firm Simon Muirhead and Burton for their Client Valerie Anne Jouai.Butler. and that application notice was renewed three times by London legal firm Simon Muirhead and Burton for their Client Valerie Anne Jouai.Butler and each time the application notice was renews it was extent for a six day period thus the Application Notice ran for 18 days.from the 6th January, 2011 to the 27thth January, 2011 and was continued on the 13th and 19th January, 2011 by UN1 and RX1 Notices.The the UN1 and Rx1 notices lodge3 13th and 19th January, 2011 took over as a continuance of the Application notice.
10. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that the first set of
UN1 and RX1 Notices that were lodged on the 13th January, 2011 over the title deed of Haywicks Farm did not lapse because they did not comply with the statutory minimum 20 business days required for a requisition notice.
They were accidently and/or deliberately lost, mislaid and/or sent to the wrong address so they were never received by the London legal Firm Simon Muirhead Burton at their londo9n office the address for service for Valerie Ann Jouai.Butler for these UN1 and RX1 Notices.
11. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that there were a
second set of UN1 and RX1 notices lodged on the 19th January, 2001 over the title deed of Haywicks Farm to replace the UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged on the 13th January, 2011 that were lost. Mislaid and/or sent to the wrong address ( deliberately and/or accidently by a clerk in HM Land Registry Office), which were accepted by HM Land Registry as replacement UN1 and RX1 Notices for the 13th January, 2011 ones and as a continuance of the Application Notice lodged over Haywicks Farm on the 6th January, 2011 that continued by three renewals till the 26th January, 2011.
12. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale did not mention that in any event the replacement UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged over the title of Haywicks Farm by Valerie Jouai/Butler on the 19th January, 2011 are still and were still current at the date of the Adjudication hearing on the 16th February, 2011, so even if it was considered that the original set of Un1 and RX1 notices lodged on the 13th January, 2011 had lapsed ( which is argued strongly that they did not lapse) then the second set of UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged on the 19th January, 2011 are still valid and lodged over the title deed of Haywicks Farm and are a continuance of the Application Notice lodged on the6th January, 2011.. thus from the 9th January, 2011 onwards and continuing till the 16th February, 2012 and after the 16th February, 2012 there has been a continuing Application and/or UN1 and/or RX1 Notice lodged against the title deed of Haywicks Farm to protect the rights of Valerie Ann Jouai/Butler in the title deed of Haywicks Farm.
13. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale tried to present a false picture of
facts to the Adjudicator that the objection to the application to have a
transfer in the name of Mr and Mrs Urquhart registered on the title deed of Haywicks Farm lodged the 27th January, 2011 was solely based on an email dated 15th February, 2011 from Reid and Associated to the HM Land Registry objecting to the application to have a transfer in the name of Mr and Mrs Urquhart registered on the title deed of Haywicks Farm lodged the 27th January, 2011 and Part 8 Claim HC11C00473 which was issued on the 2-3-2011 by John Carew-Reid as Trustee and Power of Attorney for Valerie Ann Jouai against various defendants which included Mr and Mrs Urquhart, Mr and Mrs Nicolosi and their solicitors Madge Lloyd Gibson, the said Gary Roger Jouai and his solicitors Langley Wellington and others. This presentation of the facts was completely false in that the objection was based on the Application Notice lodged the 6th January, 2011 and the continuance of such Application Notice in the form of UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged the 13t and 19 th January, 2011 against the title deed of Haywicks Farm. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale and her clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart, and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi were all well aware that the real legal and factual basis of the objection was originally based on the application notice lodged the 6th January, 2-11 and the continuance of such Application Notice in the
form of UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged the 13th and 19th January, 2011 over the title deed of Haywicks Farm to protect the interests of Valerie Ann Jouai/Butler in Haywicks Farm, and also now the court order made by Judge Iyer in the Manchester Registry in 1MA30545 the 29th December, 2011 ordering that the title deed of Haywicks Farm be transferred to Valerie Ann Butler ( the maiden and birth name of Valerie Ann Jouai). Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale and her clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart, and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi, all know full well that the truth of the matter in that all legal actions issued such as the the first two earlier actions in the Cardiff an Queensland Australia Courts in January, 2011, and the later actions HC11C00473 and HC11C04156 to have the legal rights of Valerie Ann Joaui/Butler in Haywicks Farm determined by the courts, which were just in support of such Application
Notice lodged 6th January, 2011 and the continuance of that Application
Notice being UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged the 13th and 19th January, 2011 and not the main basis of the objections. This was a very tricky and clever type fraud on the court by Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale and was a legal and clever way of presenting a false impression to the Adjudicator but a very dishonest thing to do by Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale.
14. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale has deliberately not told the truth to
the Adjudicator in her written submissions in paragraph when she falsely states: “ Gary Jouai’s title to the property derives out of a grant of probate of the will of Herbert Henry Butler. Gary Jouai being the sole
executor and residuary beneficiary of that will. Herbert Henry Butler died on 18th February, 1990 and Gary Jouai was granted probate on 21st August, 1990. That Grant of Probate has not been revoked.” Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale’s clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart, and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi were sent in the mail on the 13th February, 2011 and also Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale and her clients Mr and Mrs Urquhart, and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi were at the Adjudicators hearing on the 16th February, 2012 given another copy of the court order made by from District Judge Iyer sitting in the Machester District Registry on the 29th December, 2011 in 1MA30545 which that:
(i) “An order that the Grant of Probate dated 21st August,
1990 granted in the High Court of Justice Probate Court of Wales for the
Administration of the Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler that
appointed the said,’ Gary Roger Jouai’ as the appointed representative of the Late Herbert Henry Butler be declared null and void and of no legal effect.
(ii) “ An order that a new Grant of Probate be granted to
Administer the Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler appointed the said Valerie Ann Butler as the personal representative of the Estate of the Late Herbert Henry Butler..”
15. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale has deliberately not told the truth to
the Adjudicator by not openly declaring to the Adjudicator that she has
been the main legal counsel directly advising her clients Mr and Mrs
Urquhart, and Mr and Mrs Nicolosi in how to lodge a defense in HC11C0456 and also has been advising her clients in great detail as to what to place in their defense and submissions and how to word their defense in HC11C456 and thus knows the full details of HC11C0456. Thus Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale well knows that until the full determination of HC11C0456 and/or until Valerie wants to by her own agreement, the Adjudicator can not legally bypass the determination of HC11C0456, or the pending leave to appeal in HC11C00473 which is still to be heard at an oral hearing, and can not order the removal of the UN1 and RX1 Notices lodged the 13th and 19th January, 2011 over the title deed of Haywicks Farm and can not order the HM Land Registry to register the transfers from the said Gary Roger Jouai to PL Urquhart an J A Urquhart of the property known as Haywicks Farm.
16. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale has deliberately not instructed the
adjudicator on the law that the order made by District Judge Iyer on the 29th December, 2011 in 1MA30545 “ordering that the HM Land Registry amend the title deed of Haywicks Farm to show Valerie Ann Butler as the registered owner of such property”… is conclusive and can not be interfered with by the Adjudicator and that the HM Land Registry are forced in law to immediately act on such court order to immediately register the title deed of Haywicks Farm in the name of Valerie Ann Butler
17. It is also noted that Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jacqeline Ann
Urquhart have deliberately lied to the High Court of Justice and the
Adjudicator when they have stated: (i) They both had no idea and/or
knowledge of any sort prior to the 2nd March, 2011 of the serious
allegations of the said Gary Roger Jouai, legal Firm Eccletons and their
family development company Egton Estates Limited, Legal From Madge Lloyd Gibson, Legal Firs Luttons Dunford, Attorney Simon James Fisher, Legal Firm Langley Wellington an others being involved in a criminal conspiracy started in 1884 to 2010 and continuing to help the title deed of Haywicks Farm to be wrongly and/or fraudulently registered in the name of the said Gary Roger Jouai., in circumstances that there are a number of statements on the High Court of Justice files and the Adjudicator files proving conclusively that these statements are untrue and that the facts that Mr and Mrs Urquhart and their attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson, well knew about such serious allegations of a criminal conspiracy involving Haywicks Farm against the said Gary Roger Jouai from at least the beginning of December, 2010 and as far as their legal firm Madge Lloyd Gibson advising them on the settlement and transfer of Haywicks Farm, they have known about such serious allegations since 1990.
18. It is also noted that Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jacqeline Ann
Urquhart have deliberately lied to the Adjudicator when they have stated: That they do not have formal legal representation and/or help in dealing with the Adjudicator regarding their claimed right to have HM Land Registry process their application dated the 27th January, 2011 to register the transfer the remainder of the property known as Haywicks Farm from the said Gary Roger Jouai to PE and J A Urquhart. They have stated in a statement and submissions to the Ajudicator that the only legal assistance they have# has is a little assistance form a friend who is a solicitor, and have given the Adjudicator that they were mainly dealing with the matter themselves without formal legal assistance. The without any warning to Valerie Ann Butler/Joaui, Mr and Mrs Urquhart appear with Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale , who is one of the top attorneys in London that specialises in land argument matters, to appear for them against an old very sick old lady in her 70’s (Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai) before the Adjudicator on the 16th February, 2012, with well researched and detailed legal and factual submissions that obviously took a number of weeks to research and put together because of the great detail in them and were not a last minute rushed set of submissions. Valerie An Butler/Jouai is a very frail sick
old lady in her 70’s that known noting about the a law and how the argue
her rights who has travelled all the way from Australia for the hearing,
even though she is English by birth and spent the first half of her life in
England.
19. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale came armed with a well researched and detailed set of factual and legal submissions at the hearing before the Adjudicator on the 16th February, 2012 which had never been seen before by Valerie Ann Butler Jouai, who though she was going to attend a friendly sort of adjudication hearing where she and the Urquharts were going to speak for themselves in lay mans terms and try and sort things out on a friendly basis. Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai was not even given an adjournment to be able to be try and read and understand such detailed factual and legal submissions prepared by one of the top Attorneys in that specialises in land an property arguments . Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai this had no chance to respond to the detailed legal and factual submissions, let alone even had a chance to read them. The fact that such legally and factually detailed and complex submissions were presented against Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai an only first given to her at the hearing and not the normal at least 24 hours before, which is a standard minimum, and when there is a top Attorney against a frail old sick lady who knows nothing about the law, the such detailed factual and legal submission should have been provided at least seven days before the hearing date to Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai. Civil law is not meant be won by ambushing the opponent. The whole concept of civil law is for each side to present their factual and legal submissions
and arguments to the other side to give the other side a chance to respond to these factual and legal arguments, to find out where they agree or disagree on the facts and were they agree or disagree on the law. Then when there is a disagreement of the facts and the law then it is then up to the adjudicator, magistrate, judge etc to hear the evidence on the facts from all parties and decide what the true facts are and then adjudicate on the law based on these settled facts. That is why all sides are obligated under the rules in civil hearings of any kind to provide the facts and law they are going to rely on at the hearing to their opponent at the earliest pportunity as possible as soon as they are prepared. If detailed,
statements, and factual and legal submissions are given at the hearing
without notice to the other side the adjudicator, magistrate, judge etc
hearing the matter is duty bound to adjourn the hearing to another date to
give the opponent to chance to read, understand and respond to these last submissions. The adjudicator failed in his duty in not giving and
adjournment to Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai to respond to these last minute
detailed legal and factual submissions presented to her for the first time
at the hearing on the 16th February, 2012 by Attorney Marie Clair
Bleasdale. Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale should have3 appologised to the Adjudicator and Valerie Ann Butelr/Jouai for the late service of her
submissions and actual herself insisted that there be an adjournment to the adjudication hearing to give Valerie Ann Butelr/Jouai a chance to obtain some legal avice on Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale’s very detailed factual and legal submissions.
20. It is noted that had there been an adjournment to the proceedings
before the Adjudicator on the 16th February, 2012 to another date, then
Valerie Ann Butler/Jouai would have had the opportunity to ask the free
help of the INL News Legal Team, as she has done now, to read and analyse the detailed factual and legal submission presented by Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale an have the INL news Legal and Investigation Team respond to them for her. Thus by the time of the next hearing date all the falsities, misleading statements and withholding of material facts and misleading submissions , misleading time line would have been exposed in written submissions in opposition as they have now been exposed is these submissions.
21. It is also note that it was false for Attorney Marie Clair Bleasdale
to state in her verbal and written submissions that the leave to appeal
application in Hc11C00473 has been finally determined when in actual fact John Carew-Reid is expecting a hearing date to be set in about the middle of March,2012 for an oral hearing to argue leave to appeal the decision of Master Teverson to strike out claim HC11C00473.

Property Haywicks Farm, Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke
Dear Ms Brother and Ms Canipel
I am shocked and dismayed about your quite obvious corrupt and wrongful behaviour and the fact that you both and HM Land registry have now joined the list of conspirators conspiring to defraud m of my rights to Haywicks Farm be ignoring a High Court order to have the property registered in my name and by passing the full outcome other current actions that before courts to further adjudicate on the wrongs and/or rights of Mr and Mrs Urquhart claim to be allowed to have their transfer from the said Gary Roger Jouai of Haywicks Farm processed by HM Land registry.
You ignoring a High Court order dated 29th December, 2012 to have Haywicks Farm transferred into my name which is dated some two and a half months prior tot he orders made by Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land registry, and thus has to take priority to the Adjudicators order. Untill the order made on the 29th December, 2011 is set aside then it is law and can not be ignored or by passed.
You also are not carrying on with you promise and undertaking in your letter dated the 21st February, 2012 which states
"...should give effect to the order unless we know it has been stayed,
or that one of the parties has applied for a stay..."
You and HM Land registry are well aware that a stay has been applied for in HC12C00678.a dn we are awaiting for the court to set done a hearing date to argue this stay application and HM Land Registry can not act to process the transfer from the said Gary Roger Jouai to Mrs and Mrs Urquhart until that stay application has been heard and fully determined.
There is also a further application to set aside the orders of Justice Mann in HC11C00473 to be heard on the 24th July, 2012 in the High Court
There is also a live action n HC11C04156 that has yet to be determined
and you are saying that you going to corruptly and/or wrongly use your power and authority for a wrongful purpose to by pass all of the court actions and High court order to help the other conspirators defraud me of my rights to Haywicks Farm, all because you have been offered a good promotion and or a better pay salary and want to help cover up corruption in the Gloucester Land Registry Office.
If you carry out your threats to register the title deed of Haywicks Farm in the name of Mr and Mrs Urquhart in these circumstances toy will be guilty of conspiracy to defraud of my rights to Haywicks Farm and will be sued for million of pounds personally along with HM Land Registry for conspiracy to defraud and malefiance of public officers and I will be doing all i can to work with the INL News Group to have you lose you job, have you arrested and the Gloucester office of the Land Registry fully investigated for serious corruption.
I am old and sick but before I die O will make sure all this is carried out to others will not do this sort of behaviour and think they can get away with it. I understand that the INL News Group are very keen and also ready to public world wide articles to expose you and your corrupt activities. I have told them to hold off util I see if you are going to start to act in a proper and correct manner and wait to all the court actions are completed and full adjudicated before considering to carry out your threats to. process the transfer from the said Gary Roger Jouai to Mrs and Mrs Urquhart
I will also be suing barrister Marie Clare Bleasdale for telling lies on court about this matter such as the lie that the action HC12c00678 for a stay did not have the fees paid for, that is a deliberate lie by you and her and neither of you have apologised for telling that deliberate and calculated lie. the fees were paid for in cash and there is not problem with them and this action is alive and well.
I will have the INL News Legal team send you a further letter late on today.

Owen Ryhys, Acting as adjudicator to HM Land Registry in Gloucester
Notice of proposed article before publishing
Attorney Marie-Claire Bleasdale, HM Land Registry Lawyer Katharine Brothers helps Well Known Freemason Peter Urquhart and other well powerful Freemason attorneys, judges, Masters and Clerks in London's High Court of Justice, to defraud Valerie Ann Butler of her legal rights to Haywicks Farm on about 23 acres, which is in the process of being developed into a multi million pound luxury development in Gloucestershire, which has been in the Butler family for over 100 years.
The Legal and Investigative Team for the INL News Group have been investigating a serious conspiracy to defraud that is in the process of being committed against an elderly very sick English Pensioner, Valerie Ann Butler involving. The main purpose of the fraud is to fraudulently and/or wrongfully steal Haywicks Farm from English Pensioner Valerie Ann Butler, which has been in the Butler family for over 100 years.
The main beneficiaries of the fraud being well known and powerfully connected Freemason, Peter Leslie Urquhart, and well known and powerful Freemason solicitors Simon James Fisher and his legal firm Lutton Dunford, Madge Lloyd Gibson and Langley Wellington the all powerful Freemason Eggleton Family who run a property development company known as Egdon Estates.
Haywicks Farm is on around 23 acres and is prime residential development land on on the edge of the main canal is Gloucester and is ripe for a multi million pound luxury property development to be approved Stroud Council which is controlled by senior Freemasons who are well known to be happy to take bribes to have a property development approved.
The main conspirators being well known and powerfully connected Freemason, Peter Leslie Urquhart, and well known and powerful Freemason solicitors Madge Lloyd Gibson, Rickerby's solicitors and Langley Wellington the all powerful Freemason Eggleton Family who run a property development company known as Egdon Estates, have had to call in favours from corrupt Freemason Owen Rhys acting as adjudicator to HM Land Registry in Gloucester, corrupt Freemason High Court Master Teverson and corrupt Freemason High Court Judges-Justice Mann and Justice David Richards as well as a corrupt Assistant lawyers to HM Land Registrar named Katharine Brothers to help them complete the conspiracy to defraud and cover the conspiracy to defraud up.
There are multi millions of pounds involved because of the development potential of Haywicks Farm situated in Haywicks Lane, Hardwicke, Gloucestershire.
The conspiracy to defraud English Elderly Pensioner Valerie Ann Butler of her ownership rights to Haywicks Farm started as far back as 1984 when a fraudulent and false will for the Late Herbert Henry Butler, which was never s signed by the Late Herbert Henry Butler and was never formally and/or legally witnessed by the purported witnesses being Simon James Fisher and a person who never legally existed as a real person, a Vivienne Hobbs, was prepared with the help of Freemason attorney Simon James Fisher using false name of the other alleged witness, who worked for the very powerful Freemason Eggleton legal firm, with their power base in Gloucestershire being greatly strengthened by the fact the Mr Eggleton was the Gloucestershire Sherriff and could make anything happen in Gloucestershire.
The INL News Legal and Investigative Team have also uncovered evidence that leads to a strong suggestion and belief that the conspirators and/or their associates were also involved in the murder of the Late Herbert Henry Butler in February, 1990, so that they could then use one of the other conspirators Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson to present this fraudulent and false will to the probate Office in Gloucestershire to obtain a grant of probate in favour name of as person who did not legally exist and had no formal photo ID in that name.
Then they all waited 20 years for the dust to settle, and for all the nearby land to be fully developed coming out of Gloucester, so that the next land that will be ready for development and adding council services will be properties in Haywicks that border the canal. They were also hoping that the only daughter of the Late Herbert Henry Butler, Valerie Ann Butler, who has sole right to Haywicks Farm on the death of her father, would have died by now. However, the conspirators could not wait any longer, so the Freemason businessman Peter Leslie Urquhart, who was selected by Eggletons, his attorneys for over 30 years, to front for the other conspirators to have Haywicks Farm registered in his and his wife Jaqueline Ann Urquhart's names, so that it could be quietly transferred of the name that did not legally exist.
Eggleton Solicitors and the powerful Freemason Eggleton family who run Edgon Estates, were struck off as attorneys by the Legal Complaints Tribunal and all their clients and legal files were taken over by powerful Freemason Attorneys Madge Lloyd Gibson and its was Madge Lloyd Gibson who deliberately and knowingly presented a false and fraudulent will to the Gloucestershire Probate Office in August, 1990 to help the conspirators have Haywicks Farm registered in a name that does not legally exist, with the long term plan of eventually transferring Haywicks Farm title into the name of Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart when the time was right.
So the conspirators had to make out it all was a normal sale of Haywicks Farm to Peter Leslie Urquhart and Jaqueline Ann Urquart by publicly advertising the property, however none of the 100 other interested purchasers of Haywicks Farm were interested in making an offer to purchase the property because any sale contract would have to include an overage deed, which meant that for the next 20 years, if the property has development approval obtained by the Stroud Council, then the purchasers of the property will have to pay the Vendor ( who is behind the scenes a group of powerful Freemason business men and attorneys who used a name of a person who did not exist to obtain the rights to the property) 50% of the increased value as a result of the development approval. This means that if the value of Haywicks Farm increases from the original sale price around 660,000 pounds to 20 million with the next 20 years, then the purchasers of Haywicks Farm would have to pay these powerful Freemason solicitors and businessmen around 10 million pounds on top of the original 660,000 pounds purchase price in 2011.
Unfortunately for the conspirators, Valerie Ann Butler, even though very sick and elderly, has not died as yet and requested help from the INL News Legal and Investigative Team to get Haywicks Farm back for her form these evil and greedy conspirators who have spent the best part of 30 years planning and scheming how to end up with the title deed of Haywicks Farm into one of their names without being able to be challenged on the future by Valerie Ann Butler and/or one of her children and/or grand children.
The conspirators tried to quietly transfer the title deed of Haywicks Farm into the name of Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart in February, 2011 however the INL News Legal and Investigative Team have been legally blocking such transfer since December, 2010.
So the conspirators had call in the help of their powerful corrupt Freemason High Court Masters, Judges and clerks and HM Registry adjudicators, and lawyers working inside the HM Registry Office who have been prepared to act in a very obvious corrupt and/or wrongful way to help the conspirators have the title deed of Haywicks Farm registered in the name of Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart.
Some of the powerful corrupt Freemason lawyers, attorneys, High Court Masters, Judges and clerks and HM Registry adjudicators, and lawyers working inside the HM Registry Office which included females who are not Freemasons who have obviously been bribed and/or offered some promotion in their jobs in some way who have been prepared to act in a very obvious corrupt and/or wrongful way to help the conspirators have the title deed of Haywicks Farm registered in the name of Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart include the following:
1. High Court Master Teverson- Well known senior Freemason
2. High Court Judge _ Justice Mann- Well known senior Freemason
3. High Court Judge _ Justice David Richards - Well known senior Freemason
4. High Court Judge – Justice Paul Morgan
5. Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry
6. Katharine Brothers acting as Assistant Land Registrar in Gloucester
7. Various corrupt freemason clerks and other staff in the HM Land Registry Office in Gloucestershire
8. Various corrupt Freemason clerks and other staff in the Office to the Adjudicator to the HM Land Registry
9. Various corrupt Freemason clerks and other staff in the London High Court of Justice
10. Lawyers Madge Lloyd Gibson well known Freemason lawyers

The current situation is that while English Pnesioner, Valerie Ann Butler is visiting her grand children and other family in Australia and has been ruled by her doctors as unfit to travel back to England for a while, the Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and Katharine Brothers acting as Assistant to the HM Land Registrar have with the help of corrupt HM Treasury attorneys and lawyers conspired together in a corrupt and wrongful way to help the conspirators to bypass High Court claims and applications and appeals rights and write letters that are full of false statements and misleading statement and false and misleading legal arguments to try and have the title deed of Haywicks Farm illegally, corruptly and/or wrongly registered in the name of Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquart.
The INL News Legal and Investigative Team have been researching and investigating the operations of High Court of Justice in England and Wales, the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry, Treasury Solicitors, UK Border Agency, The Prime Minister of the UK’s office and HM Land Registry over the last five years in secret undercover operation and have found that illegal, wrongful and corrupt actions as going on a regular basis and the power of anyone connected to the London Jewish Mafia and/or the Freemasons to able to obtain any wrongful and/or corrupt court and/or adjudication orders, have documents and correspondence disappear, official letters not sent advising people of court hearing dates, letters and applications requesting court hearing simply disappearing and other important documents have simply disappeared from court files, in many instances never to be seen again.
The INL News Investigation and Legal Team have found that there is quite an obvious corrupt and wrongful net work of people working within the London High Court of Justice, HM Land Registry, HM Treasury Solicitors and the office of the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry using their power in an illegal, wrongful and corrupt way to help powerful London Jewish Mafia and Freemason connections obtain what orders they want at any level of the HM Land Registry adjudication process and/or the High Court process and in the end corrupt staff such as Owen Rhys acting as Adjudicator to HM Land Registry and Katharine Brothers acting as assistant to HM Land Registrar just take the law into their own hands with the help of corrupt Lawyers and Attorneys working for HM Treasury Solicitors to write their letters, judgements and responses for them to make it all look like they are acting within the law, but in actual fact present letters. Judgement and responses full of false and misleading statements and facts and false and misleading legal arguments.
We have a situation that at present Katharine Brothers acting as Assistant to the HM Land Registrar in Gloucester sending out a letter with her name on it, pretending that she has written the letters, however it was written by a HM Treasury Lawyer and/or Attorney, who wants to hide behind Katharine Brothers, so if anything goes wrong and the whole conspiracy is publicly exposed as it is about to be in this article that is about to be presented worldwide in the International Media, the Freemason HM Treasury Lawyer or Attorney who really wrote the letter dated the 3rd May, 2012 signed by Katharine Brothers as Assistant to the HM Land Registrar addressed to Valerie Ann Butler, which is full of false and misleading statements of fact and false and misleading legal arguments, can leave Katharine Brothers to publicly and legally take the fall.
This is who the Freemason work. They put an female up front who is not a Freemason, but is willing to act in a wrongful and/or corrupt and/or illegal way to help Freemasons whom are more seniors in their department, by the offer of a good promotion and a secure work life if they do what they are told and do not ask questions.
They advise clerks like Katharine Brothers that they are safe in presenting false and misleading letters to people because they can always just say, “ hey, the letter was drafted by a senior HM Treasury Attorney, and I just put my name to it and signed it believing that a senior Government attorney had done their job in a correct manner. At the same time never exposing the name of corrupt HM Treasury Attorney who prepared and draft the false and fraudulent letter to Valerie Ann Butler dated the 3rd May, 2012 which was not even sent out in hard copy and only emailed to Valerie Ann Butler, knowing that Valerie Ann Butler was in hospital and very sick and more than likely not see he email till it was too late , and he family farm in Haywicks Lane has already by illegally, fraudulently and corruptly and wrongly transferred into the names of two of the main conspirators Peter Leslie and Jaqueline Ann Urquhart.

On the fifth anniversary of the assassination of foreign minister Anna Lindh, Sweden is reflecting more on the legacy of her work in politics than the tragic circumstances surrounding her death.
Lindh’s name lives on in a number of foundations, research programmes, and awards.
“She’s very much alive in the party; at the same time there’s been a very long period of mourning,” Social Democratic Party Secretary Marita Ulvskog told the TT news agency.
“But we’re beginning to reach a point where what she said and did is being utilized.”
On the Social Democrats’ website it is possible to order the 'Palme-package', created in memory of assassinated Prime Minister Olof Palme. For the last year a Lindh-package has also been available.
The Lindh-package offers membership in the party, a book, a picture of Anna Lindh, a report from the annual Anna Lindh seminars, a newsletter, and the party’s international programme.
It’s meant to provide a portrait of the person and her career, tracking her development from the Social Democratic youth organization (SSU) in Enköping to the position of Deputy Mayor of Stockholm and high level ministerial posts. She was also regarded as an insprirational figure for younger politicians.
Neither Ulvskog nor the party's press secretary could say however whether there had been much demand for the package named after the woman who had been tipped to take over as party leader after Göran Persson.
Her memory is also carried on by the Anna Lindh Memorial Fund, which awards annual prizes for remarkable contributions to human rights. The Fund has also helped compile an archive of speeches and articles penned by the former foreign minister.
To coincide with the anniversary of her death, the Fund has organized a seminar focusing on the 2001 Macedonia crisis, where Lindh is considered to have played an important role in hindering the outbreak of a new Balkan War.
The politician's legacy is also evident in Alexandria in Egypt, where the Anna Lindh Foundation is based.
The foundation was set up after her death and has little to do with Lindh other than in name, according to retired ambassador Lars Bjarme.
"But the foundation works with something in which she was very interested: a dialogue between Europe and countries in the Middle East," he said.

Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) will review the care former foreign minister Anna Lindh received after she was stabbed in central Stockholm in September 2003.
"The National Board of Health and Welfare will probe the care of former foreign minister Anna Lindh," the board said in a statement.
It pointed out that it did not normally re-examine cases older than two years, but that it would make an exception due to the huge public interest in the case.
"The case is of great public interest and has to do with how care worked in a situation where the foreign minister was the victim of an attack," board general director Lars-Erik Holm said in the statement.
"I have turned to the other general directors of corresponding authorities in the Nordic countries to get their help in appointing experts," he added.
Stockholm's Karolinska University Hospital last month requested that the board analyse Lindh's treatment, saying it wanted an independent review after commercial broadcast TV4 charged in a news programme that she may have been saved with better care.
Hospital spokesman Klas Österman insisted at the time, "We have not seen any signs, then or now, to indicate that we made any mistakes."
Lindh was stabbed repeatedly in the arms, chest and abdomen by a man with a history of psychiatric problems as she shopped at the upmarket NK department store in Stockholm without a bodyguard on September 10th, 2003. She died of massive internal bleeding some 13 hours later in the early hours of September 11th.
The board's decision comes three days after the broadcast of TV4's "Cold Facts" (Kalla Fakta) programme on Lindh's treatment.
The half-hour show featured a detailed presentation of the treatment she received from the moment she arrived at the hospital, through an eight-hour operation during which she received up to 50 litres of blood, until she was pronounced dead at 5.29am on September 11th.
An unnamed Swedish expert, whose face was blurred onscreen, said the hospital could have used better methods to stop the minister's bleeding from the abdomen, notably by using the so-called "damage control" operation method.
The programme also interviewed Dr. Donald Trunkey, an expert trauma surgeon at Oregon's Health and Science University, who described the rush to operate Lindh without first slowing the bleeding "futile."
"In the United States, if somebody did that in my hospital, I would call [such an eight-hour operation] foolhardy. I mean, you are not going to win," he said, adding the lengthy operation may have worsend her condition.
"I would have classified her as a preventable death," he said.
Eva Franchell, who was shopping with Lindh when she was attacked, said she was pleased an investigation would be launched.
"It opens up old wounds, of course, but I feel the rumours that have been spread around have been very unpleasant. That is why I think it is good that this can all be ended," she told the TT news agency.
Lindh's killer Mijailo Mijailovic, now 32, is serving a life sentence for the murder.
The killing of the 46-year-old mother of two young boys sent a shock wave around Sweden, bringing back painful memories of the still-unsolved 1986 assassination of prime minister Olof Palme.

Karolinska University Hospital has requested an inquiry into the care it gave former foreign minister Anna Lindh after her fatal stabbing in September 2003.
The hospital wants Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) to review the treatment Lindh received at the hospital after she was stabbed in a Stockholm department store.
Lindh died on the operating table at Karolinska's facilities in Solna, north of Stockolm.
The hospital has reviewed charts detailing Lindh's treatment and doesn't believe that any mistakes were made, but nevertheless has requested that the health board conduct an independent investigation.
The reason behind the request is a forthcoming television broadcast produced by Sweden's TV4 which, according to Karolinska, asserts that Lindh didn't receive proper care at the hospital.
"Because the episode has such great national and historic significance, it's important to prevent the spread of rumours surrounding this matter. We believe it's appropriate that the National Board of Health and Welfare carry out an investigation into the care of Anna Lindh," wrote Karolinska University Hospital in its petition, which arrived on Wednesday at the agency's regional oversight division in Stockholm.
Lindh was attacked and stabbed while shopping in the upscale NK department store in central Stockholm around 4pm local time on September 10th, 2003.
She remained conscious following the attack, with initial reports indicating she had been cut in the arm and that she wasn't seriously injured.
She was taken to Karolinska, where she was placed on an operating table so doctors could attend to her wounds.
Lindh died at 5.29am the following morning following massive blood loss caused by internal bleeding.
The knife had sliced through a number of important blood vessels in her mid-section, including the portal vein and the aorta. Lindh's liver had also been damaged.
Two weeks later, on September 24th, 24-year-old Mijailo Mijailovic was arrested for the stabbing. The Supreme Court sentenced him to life in prison for Lindh's murder on December 2nd, 2004.
Among the evidence cited during the trial were images from surveillance cameras in NK, as well as his DNA.
Karolinska Chief Medical Officer Stefan Engqvist said that the information, which the hospital attributes to the TV4 investigative news programme Kalla Fakta, is hard to address publicly, in part because he doesn't really know what the criticism is based on and in part because the hospital doesn't release information from Lindh's file.
"Our position becomes a bit awkward in this situation. We have tough regulations about confidentiality and laws on secrecy that we can't break," he told the TT news agency.
He said that Sweden's emergency trauma care has evolved since 2003, but that according to procedures commonly used at the time, the hospital reacted in the best possible way in the operating room and that everyone involved did everything they could to save the foreign minister's life.
"We've gone through all the documentation ourselves and haven't found anything wrong and nothing that would warrant a report according to Lex Maria," said Engqvist, referencing Sweden's Lex Maria laws, the informal name used to refer to regulations governing the reporting of injuries or incidents in the Swedish health care system.
"But we would also gladly have an independent investigation and for that we turn to the National Board of health and Welfare. We want to avoid the spreading of rumours."

security" class="nodec">Security for Social Democratic leader Mona Sahlin has been tightened due to serious threats against her just over a month before elections, Swedish media reported on Monday.
According to the tabloid Expressen, security for the prime ministerial candidate has gradually increased after a "barrage of threatening emails and letters to Mona Sahlin's office in parliament."
"The threat level has changed," an unnamed police source told the paper.
When contacted by AFP, a spokesman for the Swedish security police, which handles security for high-profile politicians, refused to comment on the
information.
On Sunday, when Sahlin held a large campaign rally in Stockholm ahead of the upcoming September 19th election, four bodyguards wearing bulletproof vests were at her side the entire time, according to Expressen.
The 53-year-old career politician has received numerous threats in the past, the paper added. After a scandal dubbed the Toblerone Affair over her use of a party credit card to buy chocolate and other items in 1995, Sahlin was for a time forced to work in a bulletproof room.
In 2004, during a visit to the central Swedish town of Norrköping, a man walked up to her and asked if she was Mona Sahlin before punching her.
Sweden has been traumatised by two political assassinations in recent
decades. Prime Minister Olof Palme was shot on a Stockholm street in 1986, while foreign minister Anna Lindh was stabbed to death in an upscale department store in the heart of the capital in 2003.
Like Sahlin, both Palme and Lindh were Social Democrats. Neither of them had bodyguards with them at the time they were killed.
The documents were sent from the US embassy in Stockholm, according to a report in the Dagens Nyheter (DN) daily.
The information was dated July 2009 and details that September was considered to be the best month to exercise pressure as the Swedish foreign and defence ministries would then be busy with bills to be submitted to parliament.
The documents detail the opinion that once the parliamentary bills were submitted it would be more difficult to influence the Swedish force in Afghanistan.
A further plan was for the Swedish defence minister Sten Tolgfors to be flattered and thanked for Sweden's growing commitment in Afghanistan during a meeting in Washington on July 20th 2009.
Furthermore the documents show that a senior official at the Sweden defence ministry has forwarded advice on how the United States could influence Sweden's power-brokers to deploy more resources to Afghanistan.
The official told DN that he discussed the matter at the US embassy in Stockholm.
In the months following the attempts to influence Sweden's Afghanistan commitment, the country has dramatically increased its expenditure.
The Swedish share of the cost for the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) will amount to more than 1.5 billion kronor ($220 million) in 2010, an increase of almost 50 percent on 2009.
Sweden first deployed troops in Afghanistan in the beginning of 2002 and now has around 500 troops based near the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif.
In December the parliament passed a government bill to extend the military mission in the war-torn country until the end of 2011, allowing for the deployment of up to 855 people.
The bill required a compromise between the governing minority centre-right Alliance and the opposition Social Democrats and Greens, and came barely a week after a suicide bomber cited Sweden's troop presence in Afghanistan in a message sent shortly before he blew himself up near a crowded pedestrian street in central Stockholm.
Sweden's Alliance parties gain majority in new poll
Published: 20 Dec 10 16:23 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation
A new poll has revealed that if an election were held now, the ruling Alliance would gain a majority in Sweden's parliament, the Riksdag, while support for Sweden's Social Democratic Party continues to slide.
The latest opinion survey conducted by United Minds and Cints in collaboration with newspaper Aftonbladet shows that both the ruling Moderates and Liberal Party have increased their levels of support.
Separately, support for the Centre and Christian Democratic Parties has fallen below the levels they registered for the general election on September 19th. However, the Christian Democrats, the smallest party in the Riksdag, would clear the 4 percent threshhold to remain in parliament.
Meanwhile, the Social Democrats continue to lose support from voters.
"If it were close to an election, it would be more problematic, but I think people understand that there is not an election now and that much can happen," United Minds' opinion director Carl Melin told Aftonbladet.
While support for the Social Democrats and Left Party continue to fall, the Green Party continues to gain more support. Support for the far-right Sweden Democrats also outpaces the party's election result in the fall.
The Moderates currently have 31.7 percent support, up 0.7 percentage points from November. The Liberal Party stands at 7.5 percent, 0.5 percentage points ahead of last month.
However, the Centre Party and Christian Democrats are at 5.5 percent and 4.8 respectively, down 0.8 and 0.1 percentage points respectively.
Together, the Alliance has 49.5 percent, up 0.3 percentage points from November, compared with 42.2 percent for the Red-Green parties, whose support fell 1.2 percentage points.
Among then, support for the Social Democrats slipped 1.5 percentage points to 27.6 percent and 0.6 percentage points to 5.2 percent for the Left Party.
However, backing for the Green Party grew 0.9 percentage points in December to 9.4 percent from the previous month. Support for the Sweden Democrats also rose 0.9 percentage points to 6.9 percent this month.
Support for other parties increased 0.1 percentage points to 1.4 percent.
United Minds interviewed 1,148 respondents over the age of 18 from November 23rd to Sunday, asking them, "How would you vote if there were a Riksdag election today?"

Swedish lawmakers in the country's parliament, the Riksdag, voted on Wednesday to extend the country's militarymission in Afghanistan until the end of 2011.
"Sweden will make an armed force of up to 855 people available to the international security force in Afghanistan until the end of 2011," they said in a statement, adding that the troop level would likely remain at the present level of 500 soldiers.
The vote came a month after Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, whose centre-right coalition came up two seats short of a house majority in general elections in September, secured a deal with the opposition Social Democrats and the Greens.
The Social Democrats and Greens, in a since-dissolved coalition with the formerly communist Left Party, had campaigned ahead of the elections on demanding a withdrawal of Swedish troops from Afghanistan.
However, the two left-wing parties shifted their position after the far-right Sweden Democrats were voted into parliament for the first time and handed the role of kingmaker.
The two parties agreed to a broad proposal, aiming to pull all Swedish combat troops out of Afghanistan between 2012 and 2014, while maintaining a largely civilian support presence after that.
The far-right Sweden Democrats and the Left Party, which have both want Swedish forces brought home sooner, opposed the motion to extend the mandate next year, but it passed easily nonetheless, with 290 votes in favour, 20 opposed and 19 abstaining.
Sweden is officially neutral and not a member of NATO and the question of how long its troops should take part in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan is a sensitive one.
In October, the Scandinavian country lost its fifth soldier since it first deployed troops in Afghanistan near the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif, at the beginning of 2002.
The parliament vote also came less than a week after a suicide bomber railed against Sweden's troop presence in Afghanistan in a message sent shortly before he blew himself up near a crowded pedestrian street in central Stockholm, narrowly missing wreaking carnage among Christmas shoppers.

On the fifth anniversary of the assassination of foreign minister Anna Lindh, Sweden is reflecting more on the legacy of her work in politics than the tragic circumstances surrounding her death.
Lindh’s name lives on in a number of foundations, research programmes, and awards.
“She’s very much alive in the party; at the same time there’s been a very long period of mourning,” Social Democratic Party Secretary Marita Ulvskog told the TT news agency.
“But we’re beginning to reach a point where what she said and did is being utilized.”
On the Social Democrats’ website it is possible to order the 'Palme-package', created in memory of assassinated Prime Minister Olof Palme. For the last year a Lindh-package has also been available.
The Lindh-package offers membership in the party, a book, a picture of Anna Lindh, a report from the annual Anna Lindh seminars, a newsletter, and the party’s international programme.
It’s meant to provide a portrait of the person and her career, tracking her development from the Social Democratic youth organization (SSU) in Enköping to the position of Deputy Mayor of Stockholm and high level ministerial posts. She was also regarded as an insprirational figure for younger politicians.
Neither Ulvskog nor the party's press secretary could say however whether there had been much demand for the package named after the woman who had been tipped to take over as party leader after Göran Persson.
Her memory is also carried on by the Anna Lindh Memorial Fund, which awards annual prizes for remarkable contributions to human rights. The Fund has also helped compile an archive of speeches and articles penned by the former foreign minister.
To coincide with the anniversary of her death, the Fund has organized a seminar focusing on the 2001 Macedonia crisis, where Lindh is considered to have played an important role in hindering the outbreak of a new Balkan War.
The politician's legacy is also evident in Alexandria in Egypt, where the Anna Lindh Foundation is based.
The foundation was set up after her death and has little to do with Lindh other than in name, according to retired ambassador Lars Bjarme.
"But the foundation works with something in which she was very interested: a dialogue between Europe and countries in the Middle East," he said.

Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) will review the care former foreign minister Anna Lindh received after she was stabbed in central Stockholm in September 2003.
"The National Board of Health and Welfare will probe the care of former foreign minister Anna Lindh," the board said in a statement.
It pointed out that it did not normally re-examine cases older than two years, but that it would make an exception due to the huge public interest in the case.
"The case is of great public interest and has to do with how care worked in a situation where the foreign minister was the victim of an attack," board general director Lars-Erik Holm said in the statement.
"I have turned to the other general directors of corresponding authorities in the Nordic countries to get their help in appointing experts," he added.
Stockholm's Karolinska University Hospital last month requested that the board analyse Lindh's treatment, saying it wanted an independent review after commercial broadcast TV4 charged in a news programme that she may have been saved with better care.
Hospital spokesman Klas Österman insisted at the time, "We have not seen any signs, then or now, to indicate that we made any mistakes."
Lindh was stabbed repeatedly in the arms, chest and abdomen by a man with a history of psychiatric problems as she shopped at the upmarket NK department store in Stockholm without a bodyguard on September 10th, 2003. She died of massive internal bleeding some 13 hours later in the early hours of September 11th.
The board's decision comes three days after the broadcast of TV4's "Cold Facts" (Kalla Fakta) programme on Lindh's treatment.
The half-hour show featured a detailed presentation of the treatment she received from the moment she arrived at the hospital, through an eight-hour operation during which she received up to 50 litres of blood, until she was pronounced dead at 5.29am on September 11th.
An unnamed Swedish expert, whose face was blurred onscreen, said the hospital could have used better methods to stop the minister's bleeding from the abdomen, notably by using the so-called "damage control" operation method.
The programme also interviewed Dr. Donald Trunkey, an expert trauma surgeon at Oregon's Health and Science University, who described the rush to operate Lindh without first slowing the bleeding "futile."
"In the United States, if somebody did that in my hospital, I would call [such an eight-hour operation] foolhardy. I mean, you are not going to win," he said, adding the lengthy operation may have worsend her condition.
"I would have classified her as a preventable death," he said.
Eva Franchell, who was shopping with Lindh when she was attacked, said she was pleased an investigation would be launched.
"It opens up old wounds, of course, but I feel the rumours that have been spread around have been very unpleasant. That is why I think it is good that this can all be ended," she told the TT news agency.
Lindh's killer Mijailo Mijailovic, now 32, is serving a life sentence for the murder.
The killing of the 46-year-old mother of two young boys sent a shock wave around Sweden, bringing back painful memories of the still-unsolved 1986 assassination of prime minister Olof Palme.

Karolinska University Hospital has requested an inquiry into the care it gave former foreign minister Anna Lindh after her fatal stabbing in September 2003.
The hospital wants Sweden's National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) to review the treatment Lindh received at the hospital after she was stabbed in a Stockholm department store.
Lindh died on the operating table at Karolinska's facilities in Solna, north of Stockolm.
The hospital has reviewed charts detailing Lindh's treatment and doesn't believe that any mistakes were made, but nevertheless has requested that the health board conduct an independent investigation.
The reason behind the request is a forthcoming television broadcast produced by Sweden's TV4 which, according to Karolinska, asserts that Lindh didn't receive proper care at the hospital.
"Because the episode has such great national and historic significance, it's important to prevent the spread of rumours surrounding this matter. We believe it's appropriate that the National Board of Health and Welfare carry out an investigation into the care of Anna Lindh," wrote Karolinska University Hospital in its petition, which arrived on Wednesday at the agency's regional oversight division in Stockholm.
Lindh was attacked and stabbed while shopping in the upscale NK department store in central Stockholm around 4pm local time on September 10th, 2003.
She remained conscious following the attack, with initial reports indicating she had been cut in the arm and that she wasn't seriously injured.
She was taken to Karolinska, where she was placed on an operating table so doctors could attend to her wounds.
Lindh died at 5.29am the following morning following massive blood loss caused by internal bleeding.
The knife had sliced through a number of important blood vessels in her mid-section, including the portal vein and the aorta. Lindh's liver had also been damaged.
Two weeks later, on September 24th, 24-year-old Mijailo Mijailovic was arrested for the stabbing. The Supreme Court sentenced him to life in prison for Lindh's murder on December 2nd, 2004.
Among the evidence cited during the trial were images from surveillance cameras in NK, as well as his DNA.
Karolinska Chief Medical Officer Stefan Engqvist said that the information, which the hospital attributes to the TV4 investigative news programme Kalla Fakta, is hard to address publicly, in part because he doesn't really know what the criticism is based on and in part because the hospital doesn't release information from Lindh's file.
"Our position becomes a bit awkward in this situation. We have tough regulations about confidentiality and laws on secrecy that we can't break," he told the TT news agency.
He said that Sweden's emergency trauma care has evolved since 2003, but that according to procedures commonly used at the time, the hospital reacted in the best possible way in the operating room and that everyone involved did everything they could to save the foreign minister's life.
"We've gone through all the documentation ourselves and haven't found anything wrong and nothing that would warrant a report according to Lex Maria," said Engqvist, referencing Sweden's Lex Maria laws, the informal name used to refer to regulations governing the reporting of injuries or incidents in the Swedish health care system.
"But we would also gladly have an independent investigation and for that we turn to the National Board of health and Welfare. We want to avoid the spreading of rumours."

security" class="nodec">Security for Social Democratic leader Mona Sahlin has been tightened due to serious threats against her just over a month before elections, Swedish media reported on Monday.
According to the tabloid Expressen, security for the prime ministerial candidate has gradually increased after a "barrage of threatening emails and letters to Mona Sahlin's office in parliament."
"The threat level has changed," an unnamed police source told the paper.
When contacted by AFP, a spokesman for the Swedish security police, which handles security for high-profile politicians, refused to comment on the
information.
On Sunday, when Sahlin held a large campaign rally in Stockholm ahead of the upcoming September 19th election, four bodyguards wearing bulletproof vests were at her side the entire time, according to Expressen.
The 53-year-old career politician has received numerous threats in the past, the paper added. After a scandal dubbed the Toblerone Affair over her use of a party credit card to buy chocolate and other items in 1995, Sahlin was for a time forced to work in a bulletproof room.
In 2004, during a visit to the central Swedish town of Norrköping, a man walked up to her and asked if she was Mona Sahlin before punching her.
Sweden has been traumatised by two political assassinations in recent
decades. Prime Minister Olof Palme was shot on a Stockholm street in 1986, while foreign minister Anna Lindh was stabbed to death in an upscale department store in the heart of the capital in 2003.
Like Sahlin, both Palme and Lindh were Social Democrats. Neither of them had bodyguards with them at the time they were killed.
The documents were sent from the US embassy in Stockholm, according to a report in the Dagens Nyheter (DN) daily.
The information was dated July 2009 and details that September was considered to be the best month to exercise pressure as the Swedish foreign and defence ministries would then be busy with bills to be submitted to parliament.
The documents detail the opinion that once the parliamentary bills were submitted it would be more difficult to influence the Swedish force in Afghanistan.
A further plan was for the Swedish defence minister Sten Tolgfors to be flattered and thanked for Sweden's growing commitment in Afghanistan during a meeting in Washington on July 20th 2009.
Furthermore the documents show that a senior official at the Sweden defence ministry has forwarded advice on how the United States could influence Sweden's power-brokers to deploy more resources to Afghanistan.
The official told DN that he discussed the matter at the US embassy in Stockholm.
In the months following the attempts to influence Sweden's Afghanistan commitment, the country has dramatically increased its expenditure.
The Swedish share of the cost for the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) will amount to more than 1.5 billion kronor ($220 million) in 2010, an increase of almost 50 percent on 2009.
Sweden first deployed troops in Afghanistan in the beginning of 2002 and now has around 500 troops based near the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif.
In December the parliament passed a government bill to extend the military mission in the war-torn country until the end of 2011, allowing for the deployment of up to 855 people.
The bill required a compromise between the governing minority centre-right Alliance and the opposition Social Democrats and Greens, and came barely a week after a suicide bomber cited Sweden's troop presence in Afghanistan in a message sent shortly before he blew himself up near a crowded pedestrian street in central Stockholm.
Sweden's Alliance parties gain majority in new poll
Published: 20 Dec 10 16:23 CET | Double click on a word to get a translation
A new poll has revealed that if an election were held now, the ruling Alliance would gain a majority in Sweden's parliament, the Riksdag, while support for Sweden's Social Democratic Party continues to slide.
The latest opinion survey conducted by United Minds and Cints in collaboration with newspaper Aftonbladet shows that both the ruling Moderates and Liberal Party have increased their levels of support.
Separately, support for the Centre and Christian Democratic Parties has fallen below the levels they registered for the general election on September 19th. However, the Christian Democrats, the smallest party in the Riksdag, would clear the 4 percent threshhold to remain in parliament.
Meanwhile, the Social Democrats continue to lose support from voters.
"If it were close to an election, it would be more problematic, but I think people understand that there is not an election now and that much can happen," United Minds' opinion director Carl Melin told Aftonbladet.
While support for the Social Democrats and Left Party continue to fall, the Green Party continues to gain more support. Support for the far-right Sweden Democrats also outpaces the party's election result in the fall.
The Moderates currently have 31.7 percent support, up 0.7 percentage points from November. The Liberal Party stands at 7.5 percent, 0.5 percentage points ahead of last month.
However, the Centre Party and Christian Democrats are at 5.5 percent and 4.8 respectively, down 0.8 and 0.1 percentage points respectively.
Together, the Alliance has 49.5 percent, up 0.3 percentage points from November, compared with 42.2 percent for the Red-Green parties, whose support fell 1.2 percentage points.
Among then, support for the Social Democrats slipped 1.5 percentage points to 27.6 percent and 0.6 percentage points to 5.2 percent for the Left Party.
However, backing for the Green Party grew 0.9 percentage points in December to 9.4 percent from the previous month. Support for the Sweden Democrats also rose 0.9 percentage points to 6.9 percent this month.
Support for other parties increased 0.1 percentage points to 1.4 percent.
United Minds interviewed 1,148 respondents over the age of 18 from November 23rd to Sunday, asking them, "How would you vote if there were a Riksdag election today?"

Swedish lawmakers in the country's parliament, the Riksdag, voted on Wednesday to extend the country's militarymission in Afghanistan until the end of 2011.
"Sweden will make an armed force of up to 855 people available to the international security force in Afghanistan until the end of 2011," they said in a statement, adding that the troop level would likely remain at the present level of 500 soldiers.
The vote came a month after Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt, whose centre-right coalition came up two seats short of a house majority in general elections in September, secured a deal with the opposition Social Democrats and the Greens.
The Social Democrats and Greens, in a since-dissolved coalition with the formerly communist Left Party, had campaigned ahead of the elections on demanding a withdrawal of Swedish troops from Afghanistan.
However, the two left-wing parties shifted their position after the far-right Sweden Democrats were voted into parliament for the first time and handed the role of kingmaker.
The two parties agreed to a broad proposal, aiming to pull all Swedish combat troops out of Afghanistan between 2012 and 2014, while maintaining a largely civilian support presence after that.
The far-right Sweden Democrats and the Left Party, which have both want Swedish forces brought home sooner, opposed the motion to extend the mandate next year, but it passed easily nonetheless, with 290 votes in favour, 20 opposed and 19 abstaining.
Sweden is officially neutral and not a member of NATO and the question of how long its troops should take part in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan is a sensitive one.
In October, the Scandinavian country lost its fifth soldier since it first deployed troops in Afghanistan near the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif, at the beginning of 2002.
The parliament vote also came less than a week after a suicide bomber railed against Sweden's troop presence in Afghanistan in a message sent shortly before he blew himself up near a crowded pedestrian street in central Stockholm, narrowly missing wreaking carnage among Christmas shoppers.

WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange's lawyer says he has seen police documents that prove the whistleblower is innocent of rape claims.
Bjrn Hurtig, who is representing Assange in Sweden, said the documents, which form part of the official Swedish investigation, revealed two women had lied about being coerced into having sex with Mr Assange, 39. Assange is being held in Wandsworth prison, London, while fighting extradition to Sweden.
Assange met both women at a seminar in Stockholm last August. After having intercourse with each, at different times, he faced sex charges, which he strenuously denies, that were withdrawn and then reinstated.
In an interview from his Stockholm office, Mr Hurtig said: "From what I have read, it is clear that the women are lying and that they had an agenda when they went to the police, which had nothing to do with a crime having taken place.
"It was, I believe, more about jealousy and disappointment on their part ...
"If I am able to reveal what I know, everyone will realise this is all a charade," he said. MAIL ON SUNDAY
WikiLeaks cable shed light on Singaporeans' view of Anwar
KUALA LUMPUR, Sunday 12 December 2010 (Bernama) -- Singapore's intelligence services as well as its senior minister Lee Kuan Yew believe that opposition leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim "did indeed commit the acts for which he is currently indicted."
This was revealed by WikiLeaks through a release of a US State Department cable issued in November 2008.
The cable was exclusively released to the Australian tabloid, The Sun-Herald, and was widely reported by other Australian newspapers today.
WikiLeaks is a website that publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive governmental, corporate, organisational, or religious documents, while attempting to preserve the anonymity and untraceability of its contributors.
The US State Department cable that dealt with Anwar's sodomy case, dated November 2008, and was released exclusively to The Sun-Herald by WikiLeaks, had stated:''The Australians said that Singapore's intelligence services and [Singaporean elder statesman] Lee Kuan Yew have told ONA in their exchanges that Opposition leader Anwar 'did indeed commit the acts for which he is currently indicted'.''
In the newspaper report, it said the document stated that the Singaporeans told ONA that they made this assessment on the basis of ''technical intelligence'', which was likely to relate to intercepted communications.
WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange's lawyer says he has seen police documents that prove the whistleblower is innocent of rape claims.

Second Dutch teenager arrested for WikiLeaks-related DDoS attacks
Police in the Netherlands have arrested a second teenager in relation to the pro-WikiLeaks distributed denial-of-service attacks seen earlier this week.
The arrest of the 19-year-old man follows Friday's attacks on websites belonging to Dutch Police and national prosecutor's office, which were themselves widely seen as retaliation against the apprehension the day before of a 16-year-old Dutch boy alleged to have participated in "Anonymous" pro-WikiLeaks attacks against a number of websites, including MasterCard and PayPal.
Prosecutors claim that the 19-year-old, from Hoogezand-Sappemeer, in the north east of the Netherlands, flooded the prosecutor's website with internet traffic:
"From behind his computer, the man used hacker software to flood the website of the prosecutor’s office with as much digital traffic as possible. Investigations by the National Police Services Agency showed that the man, who was active under the internet nickname Awinee, urged other internet users to participate in the attack."
However, it is reported that the DDoS attack software being used did not hide the IP address of the computer involved, making it easy for high-tech crime cops to identify where the attack was coming from.
That's a pretty silly mistake to make if you're going to attack the website of your country's national prosecutor.
Who is "Awinee"? Well, a quick search on Google found a gaming website of a guy who lives in Hoogezand-Sappemeer, is 19 years old, and uses the online nickname "Awinee", going by the real name of Martijn Gonlag:
Protests expected outside court for WikiLeaks Julian Assange
Protests expected outside court for WikiLeaks Julian Assange
Tuesday 14 December 2010
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will ask to be granted bail when he appears before City of Westminster Magistrates' Court for a second time today.
The former computer hacker was remanded in custody last week, despite the offer of surety from a number of high-profile backers, including journalist John Pilger, director Ken Loach, and charity fundraiser Jemima Khan.
If Julian Assange is denied bail, he is expected to appeal at the High Court.
The Australian, 39, turned himself into police after an international warrant was issued accusing him of sex offences in Sweden. Charges are thought to include rape and molestation in one case, and molestation and unlawful coercion in a second. Assange has denied the allegations, which he has claimed stem from a dispute over "consensual but unprotected sex." He has vowed to fight extradition to Sweden.
According to Australian media reports, supporters of Assange and WikiLeaks are expected to protest outside the court.
Yesterday, around 15 supporters of the 'Justice for Assange' campaign gathered outside the Swedish Embassy in central London. They held banners saying "political prisoner" and "gagging the truth" and wore masks of Assange's face.
His court appearance comes as another cable released through the WikiLeaks site reveals the United States was concerned that the UK was struggling to cope with home-grown extremists in the year after the 7th July bombings in London.
In the cable, a diplomat noted that Tony Blair's embarked on a drive to isolate radicals from the mainstream Muslim community after the 2005 attacks.
The message from the US Embassy states: "Since 7/7, HMG [Her Majesty's Government] has invested considerable time and resources in engaging the British Muslim community. The current tensions demonstrate just how little progress has been made."
Another cable suggests British police helped 'develop' evidence against Madeleine McCann's parents as they were investigated by Portuguese authorities investigating the disappearance of their daughter.
Julian Assange Enemy of the State Hero of the People By Lucy Carne LONDON
SEEDS OF CHANGE: Julian Assange the boy and the thorn in the side of governments, and a rally by his Brisbane supporters this week
In front of an adoring crowd at the Frontline journalist’s club in London last month, Australia Julian Assange explained why he’s risking the wrath of the world’s most powerful governments.
In his face could still be seen traces of the sweet natured, sensitive little boy his Sunshine Coast-based mother has described and, smiling, the Queensland born 39 year old leaned into the microphone.
“They say I enjoy crushing bastards and. Yes, that’s part of my motivation,” Assange said.
“For some reason, the White House finds that offensive.”
Today, the founder if whistle blowing website WikiLeaks and the man on whom the world’s spotlight is focused, sits is a grey tracksuit in one of western Europe’s biggest prsions.
This week he was remanded in custody of rape, sexual assault and unlawful coercion stemming from alleged non-consensual sex without a condom with two women in Sweden.
Assange’s imprisonment, after he handed himself in, was met with relief in the US, where authorities were angered by his website’s release of embarrassing diplomatic cables last week.
The man who kicked the hornets’ nest had been silences they thought.
“I hadn’t heard that but it sounds like good news to me,” US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said on being told of Assange’s arrest.
But while Assange grows restless behind bars – he has already complained about the “boring” daytime television and his request to be reunited with his own laptop has been denied – a global groundswell of support has grown.
The strongest act of revenge is coming from a group of ”hacktivists” known as Anomymous, which temporariiy shut down the websites of US and Swedish corporations this week.
The group also froze the websites of credit-card companies Visa and Mastercard,n which had cancelled financial donations to WikiLeaks.
Post Finance – the Swiss bank that froze Assange’s private account – was disabled too, as was the Swedish prosecution office and the Swedish lawyers representing the two women who claim to have been sexually assaulted by Assange.
The Anonymous group’s spokesman, known only as Coldblood, told reports they had not met Assange and were not connected to his organization but felt the need to defend him.
“If we let WikiLeaks fall without a fight then government will think they can just take down any sites they wish or disagree with,” Coldblood said.
In Brisbane on Thursday, some 300 protestors took to the streets in anger at Assange’s imprisonment.
Protests in London were due to be held today.
More than 35,000 people have joined a Facebook group to support Assange, with calls for all members to donate to his legal fund, while around 28,000 Australians have signed a letter to US President BARACK Obama supporting him.
In an open letter published yesterday, prominent supports, including Australia documentary film maker John Pilger, Minty Python member Terry Jones, English actress Miriam Margolyes and author Iain Banks, call for his immediate release from jail
Assange’s unusually harsh imprisonment for allegedly ignoring two women’s requests to use contraception has caused this sudden swell of skepticism and fury.
Many believe it is a flimsy excuse to keep Assange, who was placed on Interpol’s most wanted list, within reach of the US Justice Department so it can prosecute him under the Espionage Act.
Even while he is hailed by the public as a champion of transparency, to the governments of Australia and the US he remains a menace. To them he is not an innocent messenger but an anti-government terrorist who wants to harm the US and governments across the world.
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard labeled WikiLeaks’s activities illegal but, despite calls for her to do so, has failed to outline any Australian law that Assange has broken.
Federal Attorney-General Robert McClelland also has stood by his condemnation of Assange, while arch-conservative US politician Sarah Palin called him an anti-American operative with blood on his hands.”
How did the tousled-haired boy in overalls grow up to become an Andy Warhol-esque hero of the people.
“Hr can seem – with his spectral white hair, pa8iled skin, cool eyes, and expansive forehead – like a rail thin being who has rocketed to Earth to deliver humanity some hidden truth,” The New Yorker wrote in June.
Born in Townsville in 1971, Assange has described his childhood as “pretty Tom Sawyer”’ filled with horseriding, building rafts and fishing.
I was, however, far from Idyllic. By the age od 14, his family had moved 37 times, living everywhere from Magnetic Island to Byron Bay. It set the scene for his future nomadic life.
The young boy was home schooled, sporadically educated by university professors and even taught himself in hours spent alone in council libraries.
But his life changed when his mother’s abusive boyfriend tried to gain custody of Assange’s half brother in order to submit him to religious sect The Family.
His mother and her young family “disappeared”, constantly moving, never leaving a trail.
But at the age of 16, in 1987, Assange got a computer and modem and his life was suddenly transformed.
He embraced the random problem-solving and solace if life as a computer hacker.
“We were bright sensitive kinds who didn’t fit the dominant subculture and fiercely castigated those who did as irredeemable boneheads,” he wrote of himself and a teenage friend.
He was arrested in the early 1990’sw for hacking into the computer system of a major Canadian telecommunications company, but avoided a prison sentence of up to 10 years.
A brief spell in hospital for depression soon followed, as well as time spent living rough in the Dandenong Ranges National Park in Victoria and a stint motorcycling across Vietnam.
While working towards a physics degree at the University of Melbourne in 2006, He founded WikiLeaks.
It was a site for anyone wishing to “reveal illegal or immoral behavior in their own governments and corporations” he wrote at the time of the site’s launch.
“ I am the one who9 takes that risk,” he said prophetically, explaining his role at WikiLeaks while addressing the Frontline club last monthly. “As a consequence, I also get a lot of undue credit. I also get all the criticism.”
His original WikiLeaks mandate was to9 “make the news, not be the news”.
But that seems to have backfired, with Assange now a household name around the world.
“Is is weird?” an audience member asked him of his new celebrity status.
“No,” Assange shrugged.” Actually, I find it quite boring.”

Dear Friend,
Sarah Palin wants Julian Assange hunted as a terrorist.1 She's among a swelling chorus of American politicians calling for the arrest - and even the death - of the Australian citizen who runs WikiLeaks. It's a shame that real terrorists, the kind we should be focusing our attention on, don't show up at British Police stations with their lawyers, as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange did yesterday.
Here in Australia, Prime Minister Gillard pre-emptively judged Mr. Assange "illegal," even as the Attorney General confirmed that no Australian nor international crime by WikiLeaks has been identified.2
The death penalty? Judgment before trial? This isn't the kind of justice system we have in Australia. If our Government won't stand up for the rights of Australian citizens, let's do it ourselves.
We're printing ads in The Washington Times and The New York Times with the statement our Government should have made, signed by as many Australians as possible. Will you add your name to the signatories, and invite your friends to join too?
The statement:Dear President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder:
We, as Australians, condemn calls for violence, including assassination, against Australian citizen and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, or for him to be labeled a terrorist, enemy combatant or be treated outside the ordinary course of justice in any way.
As Thomas Jefferson said, "information is the currency of democracy."3 Publishing leaked information in collaboration with major news outlets, as Wikileaks and Mr. Assange have done, is not a terrorist act.
Australia and the United States are the strongest of allies. Our soldiers serve side by side and we've experienced, and condemned, the consequences of terrorism together. To label WikiLeaks a terrorist organisation is an insult to those Australians and Americans who have lost their lives to acts of terrorism and to terrorist forces.
If WikiLeaks or their staff have broken international or national laws, let that case be heard in a just and fair court of law. At the moment, no such charges have been brought.
We are writing as Australians to say what our Government should have said: that all Australian citizens deserve to be free from persecution, threats of violence and detention without charge, especially from our friend and ally, the United States.
We call upon you to stand up for our shared democratic principles of the presumption of innocence and freedom of information.We're printing this statement in The Washington Times and The New York Times early next week - and the more Australians sign, the more powerful the message will be. Please add your name by clicking below, and forward this message to friends and family:
What has started with WikiLeaks being branded as terrorists won't end there.
In fact, just yesterday U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman, Chair of the Senate's Homeland Security Committee, said thatThe New York Times should also be investigated under the U.S. Espionage Act for publishing a number of the diplomatic cables leaked to WikiLeaks.4 We can help stop such plans in their tracks, by showing how they are affecting the image of the US in the eyes of their staunchest friends and allies.
Click here to sign the statement before it's published in The New York Times and Washington Times.

Assange will never receive a fair trial: Hicks

Hicks answers the tough questions
Former terrorism suspect David Hicks has come out in support of jailed freedom-of-speech campaigner Julian Assange, saying he feared for Mr Assange's safety should he end up in American hands.
Mr Assange, the founder of the WikiLeaks website, has been returned to London's notorious Wandsworth prison despite winning bail from a British Court.
He will be held there for another 48 hours while Swedish prosecutors, who want to extradite him to Sweden to face allegations of sex crimes, mount a High Court appeal against the decision.
Supporters of Mr Assange, including his lawyer, have claimed the charges are politically motivated after the release of thousands of secret diplomatic cables, causing embarrassment for several governments.
Yesterday, Mr Hicks told Fairfax Radio he was concerned about what might happen to Mr Assange if he was extradited to the United States.
"He will never receive a fair trial," he said.
"We have already established that it's a political decision rather than a legal one. It's important that our governments are held to account for any war crimes they may be involved in and that is why the work of WikiLeaks is so important."
Mr Hicks spent six years at Guantanamo Bay, the US-run prison camp in Cuba, before he returned home to Australia to serve nine months at Adelaide's Yatala jail.
He was convicted by a US military commission of "providing material support for terrorism".
Mr Hicks said he believed future WikiLeaks releases could contain information about his incarceration.
"I will watch with interest in more leaks released because I have heard that they might contain information about my treatment in Guantanamo and the political interference in my case," he said.
"I just hope the Australian government doesn't abandon him like they did to me."
WikiLeaks: Julian Assange sex assault court case branded a 'show trial'
The Swedish authorities are turning the sexual assault case against Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, into a "show trial", his lawyers claimed.
Mark Stephens attacked the decision by the Swedish authorities to appeal against a judge's ruling to grant the 39 year-old Australian bail.
He said their decision was now a "'persecution" rather than a prosecution and was politically motivated.
He accused the authorities of stopping at nothing to have the Wikileaks founder behind bars, a claim they denied.

Julian Assange: 'don't shoot the messenger'
Governments around the world must not "shoot the messenger" by attacking disclosures by WikiLeaks, Julian Assange said on Tuesday.
Julian Assange says his whistle-blowing website deserves protection and has not cost a single life despite the claims of critics
The former computer hacker said his whistle-blowing website deserves protection and has not cost a single life despite the claims of critics.
Writing for The Australian newspaper, Mr Assange quoted its founder, Rupert Murdoch, as once saying the truth will inevitably win over secrecy.
He said: "Nearly a century later, WikiLeaks is also fearlessly publishing facts that need to be made public."
Mr Assange said WikiLeaks has coined "scientific journalism" that allows readers to study the original evidence for themselves.
He added: "Democratic societies need a strong media and WikiLeaks is part of that media. The media helps keep government honest.
"WikiLeaks has revealed some hard truths about the Iraq and Afghan wars, and broken stories about corporate corruption."
The campaigner denied he is anti-war, but said Governments must tell the truth about their reasons for fighting.
He claimed the United States, supported by its "acolytes", has attacked WikiLeaks instead of other media groups because it is "young and small".
Branding the website "underdogs", he accused Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard of "disgraceful pandering" to the Americans.
He said: "The Gillard government is trying to shoot the messenger because it doesn't want the truth revealed, including information about its own diplomatic and political dealings."
Mr Assange highlighted some of the most high-profile revelations made by his website over the last week.
He added: "The swirling storm around WikiLeaks today reinforces the need to defend the right of all media to reveal the truth."

WikiLeaks 'will continue releasing documents'
WikiLeaks has pledged to continue releasing confidential documents after Julian Assange, the website's founder and chief, arrived at court for an extradition hearing.
Wednesday 15 December 2010
Richard Edwards and Nick Collins 2:53PM GMT 07 Dec 2010
Mr Assange handed himself over to police in central London on Tuesday morning after a warrant was issued for his arrest on rape charges.
But ahead of his first court appearance a spokesman for the website insisted the arrest would not prevent the planned release of further cables on Tuesday evening.
The spokesman wrote on Twitter: "Today's actions against our editor-in-chief Julian Assange won't affect our operations: we will release more cables tonight as normal."
The 39-year-old Australian was due to appear before a district judge at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on Tuesday afternoon, where his lawyers were expected to fight extradition proceedings.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Officers from the Metropolitan Police Extradition Unit have this morning arrested Julian Assange on behalf of the Swedish authorities on suspicion of rape.
"Assange is due to appear at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court today."
Supporters of Assange were told to protest against censorship outside the Horseferry Road court house on several websites.
His arrest came after an Australian newspaper published an editorial written by Assange, in which he urged governments around the world not to "shoot the messenger".
He wrote: "Democratic societies need a strong media and WikiLeaks is part of that media. The media helps keep government honest."
He accused the Australian government and prime minister Julia Gillard of "disgraceful pandering" to the Americans, adding: "The Gillard government is trying to shoot the messenger because it doesn't want the truth revealed, including information about its own diplomatic and political dealings."
Mr Assange has not been seen publicly for 31 days, since an appearance in Geneva, and was believed to have been in hiding in the south-east of England as the latest tranche of WikiLeaks material was released.
A European Arrest Warrant was issued by the Swedish last month but could not be acted upon because it did not contain sufficient information for the British authorities. A spokesman for Marianne Ny, the Swedish prosecutor, said the extra details were sent last week.
Police processed the warrant yesterday and arrangements were made with Mark Stephens, Mr Assange’s British lawyer, for the Wikileaks founder to attend a central London police station.
Mr Stephens said his client was keen to discover what allegations he was facing so he could clear his name.
"It's about time we got to the end of the day and we got some truth, justice and rule of law," he said.
"Julian Assange has been the one in hot pursuit to vindicate himself to clear his good name.
"He has been trying to meet with her (the Swedish prosecutor) to find out what the allegations are he has to face and also the evidence against him, which he still hasn't seen."
The 39-year-old Australian has been under intense pressure since the release of thousands of secret documents in recent weeks.
Kristinn Hrafnsson, spokesman for WikiLeaks, said Mr Assange had been forced to keep a low profile after several threats on his life.
Sweden’s Supreme Court upheld a court order to detain Mr Assange for questioning on suspicion of “rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion” after he appealed against two lower court rulings. He denies the allegations.
His details were also added to Interpol’s most wanted website, alerting police forces around the world.
Mr Stephens said he would fight any bid to extradite his client. He added that Mr Assange “has been trying to meet with the Swedish prosecutor since August this year”.
Mr Assange’s troubles deepened when his Swiss bank account was shut down after it was found he had given a false address. Postfinance, the financial arm of Swiss Post, said: “The Australian citizen provided false information regarding his place of residence during the account opening process.”
Mr Assange had allegedly told Postfinance he lived in Geneva but could offer no proof that he was a Swiss resident.
News of his potential arrest came as WikiLeaks was criticised for publishing details of hundreds of sites around the world that could be targeted in terrorist attacks.
Among the British sites listed are a transatlantic undersea cable landing in Cornwall; naval and motoring engineering firm MacTaggart Scott, based in the small Scottish town of Loanhead; and BAE Systems sites, including one in Preston, Lancashire.
The revelations prompted Sir Peter Ricketts, David Cameron’s national security adviser, to order a review of computer security across all government departments.
Julian Assange: Jemima Khan comes to aid of Wikileaks founder in Swedish extradition fight
Jemima Khan appeared in court to lend her support to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange as he was put behind bars over sexual allegations originating from Sweden.
By Andrew Hough, and Caroline Gammell 07 Dec 2010
Khan, the socialite and charity worker, offered to provide a £20,000 surety to prevent the 39-year-old Australian from being remanded in custody in Britain over the claims.
Swedish officials want him extradited to answer questions over the alleged rape of one woman and molestation of another while he was in Stockholm this summer.
Mr Assange, who was also supported in court by film director Ken Loach and four others, has repeatedly denied the claims.
The 36-year-old former wife of Imran Khan said she would pay “whatever sum was required” to ensure he was granted bail.
However, a district judge at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court decided he was too much of risk as it emerged that there was no record him ever arriving in Britain.
During Tuesday's hearing he was accompanied by officials from the Australian High Commission after asking for consular assistance.
Outside court, Khan said: “I am not here to make any kind of judgement on the Julian Assange as an individual as I do not know him and I have never met him.
“I am here because I believe in the principle of the human right to freedom of information and our right to be told the truth.”
Mr Assange’s supporters believe his arrest is a political stunt to detract from the revelations being made on a daily basis on the Wikileaks website.
Geoffrey Robertson QC, a prominent Australian human rights barrister who was a defending lawyer at the Brighton Bombing trial in the mid 1980s, has reportedly agreed to act for Mr Assange in future hearings.
The former computer hacker claims he had received several death threats since the secret documents were published and that someone had called for the kidnap of his 20-year-old son in Australia.

Julian Assange: is 'Wikileaker' on a crusade or an ego trip?
Julian Assange, the man who published the Afghan war files on his Wikileaks website, is unlikely to be chastened by Admiral Mike Mullen’s claims that he might now have “blood on his hands”.

WikiLeaks: summary of the latest disclosures
The latest round of WikiLeaks releases disclose more detail about the US's relationships with allies and foes across the globe. Here is a round-up of today’s headlines.
Britain
Prince Andrew criticised a variety of governments, including those of Britain and America, as corrupt, stupid and backward in a conversation with a US diplomat.
In his wave of “almost neuralgic patriotism”, the Duke also made the bizarre claim that British geography teachers are the best in the world.
Families of British servicemen killed in Sangin, Afghanistan have reacted furiously after it was claimed WikiLeaks would disclose dismissive remarks by US commanders on British efforts to secure the town.
The Welsh family of Bradley Manning, the US soldier suspected of handing the classified documents to WikiLeaks, have flown to America but been prevented from visiting him in prison.
The internet has been rife with speculation about which former Labour minister was labelled “a bit of a hound dog” with women by an American official.
David Cameron was seen as “lightweight” by Barack Obama after the first meeting between the two leaders, leaked files will show.
Prince Charles does not command the same respect as the Queen, according to a senior Commonwealth official.
International
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the Iranian president, dismissed claims that Arab countries had asked the US to attack his country as a deliberate attempt by the US to destabilise the Middle East.
Released Guantánamo Bay prisoners should have electronic tagging devices implanted so that they can be followed by security officials, the King of Saudi Arabia suggested to a White House official.
Silvio Berlusconi responded to leaked claims by American diplomats that he has a penchant for “wild parties” by claiming he only throws parties in a “proper, dignified and elegant way”.
One of the more unlikely stories to surface from the leaked documents was that of a 77-year-old American dentist who fled Iran on horseback after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
American officials suspect that North Korea has been secretly aiding Iran in its attempts to build nuclear weapons under the auspices of the Chinese government.
Colonel Gaddafi was believed to be very close to a “voluptuous” Ukrainian nurse who followed him everywhere he went, a US cable claimed.
An exile from Iran was living in London when he was targeted in an assassination plot by an Iranian agent, who was later arrested in America.
Hillary Clinton asked US diplomats in Argentina about the mental health of President Cristina Kirchner and questioned whether she was using medication to help her “calm down”.
The White House has told federal agencies to tighten security around the US military computer network following the leaking of classified information.
China would support a unified Korea controlled from Seoul because it believes the North is behaving like a “spoiled child”, documents show.
Sarah Palin has accused Barack Obama of taking insufficient action to prevent the release of the latest batch of WikiLeaks files.
The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei, could die within months from terminal cancer, an Iranian informant told American officials.
Angela Merkel is the only leader “man” enough to lead the European Union, according to American cables.
The United Nations has angrily hit back at American “interference” after learning that Hillary Clinton ordered what amounted to an espionage campaign on its senior officials.
Julian Assange
The WikiLeaks founder is in hiding after an international warrant was issued for his arrest on rape allegations.
Assange’s next target will be the banking sector, with one American bank in particular to suffer from his next revelations, which he compared to the Enron scandal.
Assange has accused Barack Obama of attempting to smother the freedom of the press.
A criminal investigation is underway into how the latest batch of documents was made public, and Barack Obama could take legal action against Mr Assange.

Julian Assange's alleged dating profile surfaces
December 14, 2010
Julian Assange allegedly used dating website OkCupid, his supposed profile now becoming fodder for media scrutiny around the world.
Intrepid internet users tracked down the disused profile that existed around 2006, revealing insightful information into Assange's personality, if it is to be believed that the information was written by Assange himself.
The WikiLeaks founder reportedly describes himself on the website: "Passionate, and often pig headed activist intellectual seeks siren for love affair, children and occasional criminal conspiracy,"
Prefacing his profile with a "warning", Assange explains: "Want a regular down to earth guy? Keep moving. I am not the droid you are looking for. Save us both while you still can"
When asserting what he likes in a woman, Assange's alleged profile states a woman should be "spirited, erotic, non-conformist. Non-conformity is not the adoption of some pre-existing alternative subculture. I seek innate perceptiveness and spunk"
"I like women from countries that have sustained political turmoil. Western culture seems to forge women who are valueless and inane. OK. Not only women!" he continues.
When describing what he is doing with his life, the profile states "Directing a consuming, dangerous human rights project", not without giving reference to his background in mathematics, neuroscience and philosophy.
According to the profile, Assange would have last used it on New Year's Eve December 2006. It states that he has never used drugs and only drinks socially, and that he spends a lot of time thinking about "Changing the world through passion, inspiration and trickery."

Julian Assange offered bail haven at former soldier's Suffolk manor
Maverick libertarian Vaughan Smith rescued WikiLeaks founder from jail - but then came appeal
His supporters include teenage hackers, freedom of speech activists and a motley group of celebrities. But it was the maverick British establishment that rode to the rescue of Julian Assange, offering to whisk him from dull confinement in Wandsworth jail to a large and comfy manor house in Suffolk.
For once, Assange was not the star at the afternoon bail hearing at Westminster magistrates' court. Dressed in a white shirt and blue suit, he watched the proceedings impassively. Instead the hero was Vaughan Smith, a former army officer, journalist adventurer and rightwing libertarian. For much of the past five months, until his arrest last week, Assange has been living at Smith's Frontline Club in Paddington, west London.
Standing to address district judge Howard Riddle, Geoffrey Robertson QC announced that "Captain Smith" was now ready to put Assange up at his rambling country home, Ellingham Hall, near Bungay in Suffolk – that is, should he be granted bail. The WikiLeaks saga has so far been short of jokes. But Robertson had one ready-made.
It would not be so much "house arrest as manor arrest", he quipped. Not only that, but it was inconceivable Assange would attempt to escape "since darkness descends rather early in that part of Britain". Additionally, Assange was willing to give up his Australian passport and wear an electronic tag. Finally, he wasn't likely to get very far given that "media exposure" had made him "well-known around the world", Robertson said with understatement.
Last week Assange was refused bail after he unwisely gave an Australian postal address as his place of residence. This time his legal team would allow no such mistake.
Robertson, Assange's new barrister, asked Smith to give his own assessment of WikiLeaks' controversial founder, in the light of Sweden's attempts to have him extradited on sex allegations.
"He is a very honourable person, hugely clever, self-deprecatory and warm. Not the kind of things you read about," Smith said loyally. But the clincher came when Robertson asked Smith to explain what precisely Assange's new rustic home would look like. After establishing that Smith was a former Guards officer and one-time captain of the British army's shooting team, the QC asked for details of Smith's family home and organic farm. "It has 10 bedrooms and 600 acres," Smith replied. Better still, there was even a police station. "It's a short distance on a bicycle. I can cycle it in about 15 minutes," Smith explained. "It's about a mile. Perhaps a little bit more." Smith added helpfully: "It's an environment where he would be surrounded. We have members of staff. My parents live in proximity as well. My father was a Queen's Messenger and a colonel in the Grenadier Guards."
On the second floor of the court several celebrity supporters had gathered outside next to the coffee machine and green metal benches – John Pilger, Jemima Khan, Ken Loach, Bianca Jagger, and others. But it turned out they weren't really needed – though their money was. Outside on the pavement, a polyglot scrum of journalists waited impatiently for news.
Judging from his appearance, Assange appeared to be surviving his ordeal in Wandsworth prison pretty well. From inside a glass box for the defendant, he confirmed his identity and address. He also gave a cheery thumbs-up to his team.
Robertson, however, made clear that Assange was having a miserable time of it. His conditions inside Wandsworth were nothing short of living hell, he suggested. "He can't read any newspapers other than the Daily Express. This is the kind of Victorian situation he finds himself in," Robertson lamented. He went on: "Time magazine sent him a magazine with his picture on the cover but all the person would allow him to have was the envelope!"
To no one's great surprise, the judge announced that "bail was going to be granted under certain conditions". These turned out to be not overly onerous: an electronic tag, an afternoon and night curfew and a requirement to report to Bungay police station between 6-8pm every evening. Oh, and £200,000 in cash.
Assange's lawyers asked if it might be possible to hand cheques into the court instead? The magistrate was unimpressed, insisting in these financially troubled times it had to be money up front.
Outside, the tweeted news of Assange's bail brought a loud cheer from the 150 or so people who had gathered opposite the court to cheer on their hero and share their banners and placards with the world.
One read: "Sex crimes! My arse!" Another, "That's just what we need – another innocent man in jail", and a third: "Sweden: muppets of the US." Despite the indignant slogans, the judge's verdict plainly delighted the protesters. Three young activists were so thrilled, in fact, that they broke into an impromptu chorus of We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
Soon afterwards, however, there was confusion as news filtered through that the Swedish prosecutor was to appeal against the bail decision, meaning that Assange has to remain for the time being in jail. But his lawyers appear confident he will be out in time for Christmas.
Pheasant dinners, port and brisk walks around the estate may be only a matter of days away.
If he wins his next bail hearing in the high court, Julian Assange's new home will be a historic rural estate on the borders of Norfolk and Suffolk. For more than three centuries Ellingham Hall, a sprawling and elegant Georgian manor house near the village of Bungay, has belonged to the Smith family.
Its owner today is Vaughan Smith, a friend of Assange, and a strong supporter. Smith has previously given the WikiLeaks founder a home at his Frontline club in Paddington, west London, which includes several flats.
Surrounded by 600 acres of woods and fields, the estate is the perfect retreat. It has 10 bedrooms, a large dining room with a convivial circular table, and portraits of Smith's ancestors hanging on the walls. There is a housekeeper who cooks meals. There is also a well-stocked cellar with wine and port – the decent Quinta Do Infantado.
The estate is usually home to Smith's wife and their two children.
Speaking to the Guardian before today's bail hearing, Smith made clear that Assange and his team will be expected to pay for food and accommodation. Other paying guests have included games sports enthusiasts – the hall boasts a pheasant shoot, with pheasants wandering freely over the grounds. The local Norfolk hunt sometimes clatters through the gardens.
"It's a Georgian house from the 18th century. It's been in my family as Smith for the past 225 years, but before that it belonged to the Johnsons, whom the Smiths married into.
"Some of the buildings are even older. On the walls are paintings of the people who bred me," Smith said. "My grandfather liked shooting and I'm partial to it myself."
The estate is exceptionally isolated. The nearest train station is Diss. From there it is a £27 ride in a taxi. It takes half an hour by car from the hall into Norwich, the nearest city.
The remoteness of the location is likely to afford Assange some privacy, since it is impossible to reach the manor house without trespassing on Smith's land.
According to friends, Assange shows little interest in food, and is invariably late for meals. But Ellingham Hall is also home to a large ecologically conscious organic farm. Smith looks after it himself together with two employees; the organic produce is served at his restaurant at the Frontline Club.
"Could become as important a journalistic tool as the Freedom of Information Act." - Time Magazine
WikiLeaks is a non-profit media organization dedicated to bringing important news and information to the public. We provide an innovative,
secure and anonymous way for independent sources around the world to leak information to our journalists. We publish material of ethical, political and historical significance while keeping the identity of our sources anonymous, thus providing a universal way for the revealing of suppressed and censored injustices.
WikiLeaks relies on its supporters in order to stay strong. Please keep us at the forefront of anti-censorship and support us today.
On Sunday 28th Novembre 2010, Wikileaks began publishing 251,287 leaked United States embassy cables, the largest set of confidential documents ever to be released into the public domain. The documents will give people around the world an unprecedented insight into the US Government's foreign activities.
Due to recent attacks on our infrastructure, we've decided to make sure everyone can reach our content. As part of this process we're releasing archived copy of all files we ever released - that's almost 20,000 files. The archive linked here contains a torrent generated for each file and each directory.
The 391,832 reports ('The Iraq War Logs'), document the war and occupation in Iraq, from 1st January 2004 to 31st December 2009 (except for the months of May 2004 and March 2009) as told by soldiers in the United States Army. Each is a 'SIGACT' or Significant Action in the war. They detail events as seen and heard by the US military troops on the ground in Iraq and are the first real glimpse into the secret history of the war that the United States government has been privy to throughout.
From here, you can browse through all of the documents that have been released, organized by type, category, date, number of casualties, and many other properties. From any document page, clicking on the green underlined text will open a popup that links to other documents that contain those phrases, making it possible to see important search terms and connections that you might not otherwise notice.
WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad -- including two Reuters news staff. Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-sight, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.
Spamhaus' False Allegations Against wikileaks.info
Published 15-Dec-2010, 8:00 AM GMT
On Tuesday, 14-Dec-2010 Spamhaus has issued a statement wherein it labels wikileaks.info as "unsafe", as they consider our hosting company as a malware facilitator:
http://www.spamhaus.org/news.lasso?article=665
We find it very disturbing that Spamhaus labels a site as dangerous without even checking if there is any malware on it. We monitor the wikileaks.info site and we can guarantee that there is no malware on it. We do not know who else is hosted with Heihachi Ltd and it is none of our business. They provide reliable hosting to us. That's it.
While we are in favour of "Blacklists", be it for mail servers or web sites, they have to be compiled with care. Just listing whole IP blocks as "bad" may be quick and easy for the blacklist editors, but will harm hosters and web site users.
Wikileaks has been pulled from big hosters like Amazon. That's why we are using a "bulletproof" hoster that does not just kick a site when it gets a letter from government or a big company. Our hoster is giving home to many political sites like castor-schottern.org and should not be blocked just because they might have hosted some malware sites.
Fortunately, more responsible blacklists, like stopbadware.org (which protects the Firefox browser, for example), don't list us. We do hope that Spamhaus hasn't issued this statement due to political pressure.
Wikileaks.info will always be safe and clean. Promised:
Update (15-Dec-2010 17:00 PM GMT): Spamhaus has updated their statement to say that they don't blacklist us.

Update: On July 6, 2010, Private Bradley Manning, a 22 year old intelligence analyst with the United States Army in Baghdad, was charged with disclosing this video (after allegedly speaking to an unfaithful journalist). The whistleblower behind the Pentagon Papers, Daniel Ellsberg, has called Mr. Manning a 'hero'. He is currently imprisoned in Kuwait. The Apache crew and those behind the cover up depicted in the video have yet to be charged. To assist Private Manning, please see bradleymanning.org.
5th April 2010 10:44 EST WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad -- including two Reuters news staff.
Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-sight, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters
employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.
The military did not reveal how the Reuters staff were killed, and stated that they did not know how the children were injured.
After demands by Reuters, the incident was investigated and the U.S. military concluded that the actions of the soldiers were in accordance with the law of armed conflict and its own "Rules of Engagement".
Consequently, WikiLeaks has released the classified Rules of Engagement for 2006, 2007 and 2008, revealing these rules before, during, and after the killings.
WikiLeaks has released both the original 38 minutes video and a shorter version with an initial analysis. Subtitles have been added to both versions from the radio transmissions.
WikiLeaks obtained this video as well as supporting documents from a number of military whistleblowers. WikiLeaks goes to great lengths to verify the authenticity of the information it receives. We have analyzed the information about this incident from a variety of source material. We have spoken to witnesses and journalists directly involved in the incident.
WikiLeaks wants to ensure that all the leaked information it receives gets the attention it deserves. In this particular case, some of the people killed were journalists that were simply doing their jobs: putting their lives at risk in order to report on war. Iraq is a very dangerous place for journalists: from 2003- 2009, 139 journalists were killed while doing their work.

Former News of the World reporter Sean Hoare has been found dead. Picture: AP Source: AP
THE sudden death of Sean Hoare, the former News of the World reporter who blew the whistle on phone hacking at the paper, has stunned former colleagues and those connected with the investigations into the scandal.
As the first former News of the World reporter to claim publicly that his old friend and boss Andy Coulson had "actively encouraged" him to hack into voicemail messages, Mr Hoare, who was thought to be in his forties, was likely to have been a key witness in the judicial inquiry into hacking. He would probably also have been called to appear at any criminal proceedings brought by police against senior editors and executives at News International.
Friends of the pair said that Mr Coulson, who is holidaying in Cornwall, was shocked by the latest development.
Officers were called to a first-floor flat at a modern block in Watford yesterday morning after concerns for Mr Hoare's welfare were raised by a family member. His body was found and he was pronounced dead shortly after ambulance and police arrived.
Details surrounding Mr Hoare's death were unclear last night, with the police yet to inform family members or formally to identify the body. Two officers were on duty outside the entrance last night and the curtains were drawn.
In a statement, Hertfordshire Constabulary said the "death is currently being treated as unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious".
Inspector Rod Reeves said that a family member had become concerned when Mr Hoare had not returned calls. He would not comment on where Mr Hoare's body was found in the flat, but said he was alone.
He is understood to have lived in the block with his partner, Jo.
A neighbour said: "I feared the worst a couple of months ago. He wasn't looking in great shape physically. He was not his usual, bubbly, friendly self."
Another neighbour said Mr Hoare was "paranoid" about people seeing him and spoke of a "conspiracy" and that he was afraid of the police and the Government. "He talked about all sorts of problems that he had in his life. A lot of it was alcohol-related. His passage through life has not been an easy one." The neighbour added: "He said he was in trouble and he was worried about people coming to get him."
Tributes were paid to Mr Hoare on Twitter last night with David Yelland, a former Editor of The Sun, writing: "Sean Hoare was trying to be honest, struggling with addiction. But he was a good man. My God."
Mr Hoare was sacked from the News of the World by Mr Coulson because of the effects his drink and drug problems were having on his health. Mr Hoare, who had previously worked with Mr Coulson on The Sun's Bizarre showbiz section and later at the Sunday People under Neil Wallis, was notorious on Fleet Street for his destructive lifestyle.
He told a fellow journalist of his "rock star's breakfast" - Jack Daniels and a line of cocaine. He said he took three grams of cocaine a day, which cost him about $1500 a week.
"Everyone got overconfident. We thought we could do coke, go to Brown's, sit in the Red Room with Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence. Everyone got a bit carried away," he once told The Guardian.
Former colleagues said that his dismissal had left him bitter and resentful. In an interview with the New York Times he claimed that Mr Coulson not only knew of phone hacking at the News of the World but he had "actively encouraged" it. He said he had played tape recordings of hacked messages for Mr Coulson. His allegations were heavily rejected by his former boss, who had become David Cameron's Director of Communications in May last year.
He made stronger allegations in a subsequent interview with the BBC, claiming Mr Coulson had personally asked him to hack phones and that the practice was "endemic".
In September last year he was interviewed by police about his claims but would not make a further comment, according to Keir Starmer, the Director of Public Prosecutions. He was understood to be affronted when John Yates, then the Met's Assistant Commissioner, instructed officers to interview him as a suspect, rather than as a witness.
Then, a week before his death, he made separate allegations again to the New York Times that reporters at the News of the World had paid police to use technology to locate people using their mobile phone signals, a technique called "pinging".
Although he was known to be in ill health and smoked and drank, he was still active. He recently attended a weekend children's party and had been injured taking down the marquee. He told The Guardian that he had broken his nose and injured his foot when he was struck by the pole.
One neighbour said last night: "He was physically going down hill. He was yellow in colour and wasn't looking well for the last month and was off sorts and I was really worrying about him.
"He had a constant struggle with alcohol and talked to me about how much he had put his wife through. He was talking about how he was in trouble and that he thought someone was going to come and get him, but I didn't known whether to believe half the stuff he was saying. He did say something about phone hacking and I think that was his main worry."
Phone-hacking whistleblower found dead
Sean Hoare, the reporter who alleged widespread hacking at the News of the
A FORMER reporter for the Daily Mirror says the News of the World was not the only British newspaper involved in phone hacking.
James Hipwell, 45, told The Australian Online he saw show business reporters on the Daily Mirror regularly intercept voicemail messages when he worked there from 1998 to 2000.
He says he's likely to make himself available to testify to the judicial inquiry into the scandal.
Hipwell is the only Fleet Street whistleblower who is offering to go on the record with accounts of voicemail hacking at newspapers other than the News of the World, which was closed down by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation two weeks ago.
“I know that for one simple reason: I used to see it going on around me all the time when I worked at the Daily Mirror,” he said in an interview that will appear in The Australian tomorrow.
“I sat right next to the show business desk and there were some show biz reporters who did it as a matter of course, as a basic part of their working day.
“One of their bosses would wander up and instruct a reporter to `trawl the usual suspects', which meant going through the voice messages of celebrities and celebrity PR agents.”
“For everyone to pretend that this is some isolated activity found only at the News of the World is ridiculous, it's just a lie.”
Hipwell said that depending on legal advice he would be willing to speak to the police and to the inquiry headed by Lord Justice Brian Leveson into the hacking scandal and the future regulation of Britain's press.
Trinity Mirror, the publisher of the Daily Mirror, denied Hipwell's claims, issuing a statement declaring that: “Our journalists work within the criminal law and the Press Complaints Commission code of conduct.”
Chris Hughes, a show business reporter during Hipwell's time at the Mirror who has since become a defence correspondent, told The Australian Online that he had never hacked voicemails or been aware of the practice at the Mirror.
The first whistleblower in the scandal, Sean Hoare, worked at Trinity Mirror's Sunday People as well as News Corporation's Sun and News of the World, but he died this week from what was rumoured to be a drug overdose.
Paul McMullan, the other prominent whistleblower who has repeatedly spoken about phone hacking and other illegal practices, worked at the News of the World.
Hoare was sacked by the then NOTW editor Andy Coulson in 2005 because of his drug and drink addictions. McMullan has left the industry to run a pub and admits that he has a grudge against his former editor, Rebekah Brooks.
Hipwell also fell out with his former employer. He left the Mirror in disgrace in 2000 before being convicted five years later on market-rigging charges over “City Slickers”, a share-tipping column he wrote with a colleague.
Hipwell served 59 days in jail and was bitter to see his former editor Piers Morgan escape charges.
Morgan told investigators that it was a coincidence that he suddenly ploughed all the money he could get his hands on, Stg67,000, into shares of a relatively small firm on the day that City Slickers was about to tip it as a hot prospect, doubling its share price.
Hipwell has since written for The Guardian and The Observer. He has now moved his career to Lebanon, and writes largely about the issue of organ donation, having received a kidney transplant from his wife.
Hipwell's interview with The Australian Online is the first time he has discussed the phone hacking issue since giving an interview to The Guardian after a News of the World reporter and private investigator were first arrested five years ago.
The New York Times yesterday reported that five former journalists at the Mirror's stablemate The People had said that they regularly witnessed hacking in that newsroom in the late 1990s to early 2000, but they spoke on the condition of anonymity.
“I don't think anyone quite realised the criminality of it,” said one of the unnamed former reporters at The People.
Fresh claims: Victims of the 2005 London bombings have said they believe police may have leaked their details to a tabloid. Picture: Paco Serinelli Source: AFP
BRITISH cops are facing fresh claims they leaked details about victims of terrorism and crime to the News of the World.
The allegations deepen the scandal surrounding phone-hacking at the paper, which has shaken Rupert Murdoch's global media empire, claimed the jobs of two of Britain's top police officers and dragged in British Prime Minister David Cameron.
The Observer newspaper reported that survivors of the July 7, 2005 London bombings had asked lawyers to probe their belief that the capital's Metropolitan Police had sold or passed on a confidential contact list of victims.
Beverli Rhodes, chair of the Survivors Foundation Coalition, said journalists from the paper approached survivors with false stories about how they got their details.
"Scotland Yard had the full list of survivor contact details. I am pretty sure that is how the News of the World got my home address," she told the Observer.
Four suicide bombers blew themselves up on three underground trains and a bus in the worst terror attacks on British soil, killing 52 people.
Separately the BBC reported that police had removed an officer from the inquiry into the murder of 13-year-old Milly Dowler in 2002 after information was allegedly leaked to the News of the World (NotW).
Police in Surrey, a county southwest of London, confirmed that a detective constable was accused by a colleague of inappropriately disclosing information about the case to a "retired police officer friend".
The officer "received words of advice and was removed permanently from the inquiry", the force said in a statement. It did not mention the NotW.
The tabloid has already been accused of hacking Milly Dowler's voicemails and those of families of 7/7 victims, but this is the first time police have directly been linked to the paper's activities on the two events.
Mr Murdoch has now closed the NotW and personally apologised to Dowler's parents.
Revelations that police employed a former NotW executive who has since been arrested over hacking claimed the jobs of Scotland Yard chief Paul Stephenson and the force's anti-terror boss John Yates a week ago.
Scotland Yard was heavily criticised for botching an initial investigation, which resulted in the jailing of the paper's former royal editor and a private investigator in 2007 but concluded he was a "rogue reporter".
When the force bowed to pressure and reopened the probe in January it emerged that nearly 4000 people may have had their phones hacked.
Other British papers were dragged into the row this weekend when former journalists at the Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror - Mr Murdoch's main British tabloid rivals - reportedly said phone-hacking was rife at their papers too.
But the main effects have been on the Mr Murdoch's US-based News Corporation, which also owns this publication.
In a further blow British Business Secretary Vince Cable said yesterday there were "big questions" over whether the mogul was fit to control a British broadcaster.
"We have learned from the past that having media moguls dominating the British media is deeply unhelpful, not simply in terms of plurality but because of the wider impact on the political world," he said.
News Corp. was forced by the scandal to scrap its bid for full control of pay-TV giant BSkyB earlier this month.
Mr Cable was stripped of responsibility for deciding the fate of the BSkyB deal last year after a newspaper secretly recorded him saying he was at "war" with Mr Murdoch.
Mr Murdoch's son James meanwhile faces calls for a police probe into evidence he gave to lawmakers last week saying he did not know hacking was more widespread.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Cameron has also come under pressure due to his decision to employ Andy Coulson, another former editor of the tabloid, as his media chief.
Mr Coulson then quit Downing Street in January and was arrested on July 8. Ten people have been detained since January.
A SENIOR Labour British MP said last night he would refer to police accusations New International chairman James Murdoch misled a parliamentary committee.
Tom Watson said he would formally ask police to investigate Mr Murdoch's evidence this week to the House of Commons media committee after the accusations from two senior executives of the closed News of the World.
Colin Myler, the last editor of the newspaper, and Tom Crone, its top lawyer, issued a statement yesterday saying Mr Murdoch was wrong when he told MPs he had not been told in 2008 about a crucial piece of evidence in the phone hacking scandal at the newspaper.
Mr Watson, a Blair and Brown government minister and a member of the media committee, alleged that Mr Murdoch may have been involved in perverting the course of justice, and failing to report a crime.
"Myler and Crone . . . are clearly concerned that they have effectively been hung out to dry by James Murdoch in the evidence session earlier in the week," he said. "If their statement is accurate it shows James Murdoch had knowledge that others were involved in hacking as early as 2008, it shows he failed to act to discipline staff or initiate an internal investigation, which undermines Rupert Murdoch's evidence to our committee that the company had a zero tolerance to wrongdoing.
"More importantly it shows he not only failed to report a crime to the police but because there was a confidentiality clause involved in the settlement it means that he bought the silence of (Professional Footballers Association chief executive) Gordon Taylor and that could mean he is facing investigation for perverting the course of justice."
Mr Murdoch, the chairman of News Corporation's British operations and a potential successor to his father, Rupert, as overall chief executive, stood by the evidence he gave to the committee on Tuesday. News Corporation is the ultimate owner of The Weekend Australian.
The split among the former leaders of the NOTW is over the payment of a large secret settlement in a phone hacking case which Mr Watson and other MPs have suggested was an attempt to cover up the extent of the newspaper's voicemail hacking.
Another former News International employee -- the firm's most senior lawyer during the scandal, Jon Chapman -- issued a statement saying there had been "a number of serious inaccuracies" in statements to the committee on Tuesday, when the Murdochs and former chief executive Rebekah Brooks appeared.
MPs suggested this week that News International gave Mr Taylor a large payment with a gag clause to avoid the airing of an email, which would have destroyed the company's claim that hacking at the NOTW was the work of "one rogue reporter", as the company insisted until this year.
Mr Murdoch told the house media committee that when he authorised the payment in April 2008 Mr Crone and Mr Myler had not informed him that Mr Taylor's lawyers had obtained a copy of a highly incriminating email, which showed that the newspaper's chief reporter, Neville Thurlbeck, knew about phone hacking.
Entitled "for Neville", the email was written in 2005 by a junior reporter and contained transcripts of 35 hacked voice messages. "I was not aware of that at the time," Mr Murdoch told the committee.
The payment to Mr Taylor kept the incriminating email under wraps because it was conditional on a gag clause that banned Mr Taylor from revealing even the fact that there was a confidentiality agreement. Mr Crone, who lost his job when the NOTW was shut two weeks ago, told the Evening Standard last week that he would closely watch the Murdochs' evidence to the committee and warned he could speak out "if they completely screw me over".
Yesterday he and Mr Myler issued a joint statement "just by way of clarification relating to Tuesday's select committee hearing".
"We would like to point out that James Murdoch's recollection of what he was told when agreeing to settle the Gordon Taylor litigation was mistaken.
"In fact, we did inform him of the 'for Neville' email which had been produced to us by Gordon Taylor's lawyers."
In a statement issued by News International's parent firm, News Corporation, Mr Murdoch later said: "I stand by my testimony to the select committee."
The committee's chairman, John Whittingdale, said that he would like Mr Murdoch to respond "within a week" to the statement by Mr Myler and Mr Crone.
Matt Nixson, a journalist on the NOTW's sister newspaper, The Sun, was sacked and escorted from News International's premises yesterday over further phone hacking disclosures but the firm said it related to his activities when he worked at the NOTW, not at The Sun.
Amid growing speculation about whether the practice was confined to the NOTW, a former Fleet Street reporter, James Hipwell, has told The Weekend Australian he was likely to make himself available to the judicial inquiry and police to give evidence about phone hacking he says he saw while working at the Daily Mirror.
Mr Hipwell, a former stockmarket columnist, was jailed in 2005 over a stock-rigging scandal at the Mirror.
The FBI said it would contact the actor Jude Law over claims NOTW intercepted one of his voicemails while he was in New York, possibly an offence under US law.
The Wall Street Journal reported the US Justice Department was preparing subpoenas for preliminary investigations into News Corporation relating to alleged foreign bribery and alleged hacking of voicemails of 9/11 victims.
The issuance of subpoenas would represent an escalation of scrutiny of the New York-based media company. While it has sought to isolate the legal problems in Britain, it has been bracing for increased scrutiny in the US from the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission, according to people familiar with the company's strategy.
PI Glenn Mulcaire may lift lid on News of the World's secrets
THE former private investigator at the heart of the phone hacking scandal has hinted he may lift the lid on the News of the World's secrets.
Glenn Mulcaire, 40, was on an alleged 105,000 pounds annual contract to supply the now defunct paper with phone numbers used to hack the voicemails of celebrities, politicians, murder victims, including schoolgirl Milly Dowler, and people killed in the Middle East and terrorism attacks.
Despite being arrested and jailed for his role in phone hacking, Mr Mulcaire's legal fees were paid for by News of the World publisher News International.
But less than 24 hours after News International's James Murdoch dramatically revealed to British lawmakers at Tuesday's phone hacking hearing that Mr Mulcaire was being financially supported, the company announced they had stopped all legal payments to the convicted hacker.
As news of the ceased payments broke yesterday, the father-of-five, who has previously remained tight-lipped on the scandal, spoke to reporters outside his London home.
"As you can appreciate, we are in the middle of a number of inquiries at the moment," Mr Mulcaire said.
"It's a very fluent and developing situation. Like I said, the developments have been different from day to day and I have no further comment to make at this stage.
"However, this may change," he added.
Mr Murdoch denied allegations that Mulcaire's legal payments were hush money, telling MPs he was "as surprised as you are" when he discovered "certain legal fees were paid to Mr Mulcaire" by News International, a sister company to News Limited.
Mr Mulcaire reportedly faces about 24 potential civil law suits from alleged hacking victims.
Files seized by police allegedly reveal Mr Mulcaire had more than 4000 names on a list of potential phone hacking victims.
The High Court yesterday ruled that Scotland Yard must hand over police information to comedy actor Hugh Grant and his ex-girlfriend and socialite Jemima Khan showing that their telephone messages might have been intercepted by Mr Mulcaire.
Speculation is also rampant on Twitter that the late Princess Diana have been a phone hacking victim.
Her brother the Earl of Spencer told BBC's Newsnight that press intrusion had a "pretty massive" effect on his family and that he was certain other newspapers, beside the News of the World, had engaged in phone hacking.
"I am absolutely sure there are other newspaper groups who are waiting for the spotlight to move to them. I know that without a doubt," he said.
Australian pop star Peter Andre, who is a popular celebrity in Britain, also revealed he may have been the victim of alleged phone hacking.
The revelations come as News International yesterday said it had authorised law firm Harbottle & Lewis to answer any questions from Scotland Yard and the Commons Home Affairs Committee about its work for the firm.
The law firm yesterday faced renewed pressure to explain claims that it failed to raise the alarm over evidence of police bribes at News International.
Meanwhile, the New Zealander who last week replaced Rebekah Brooks as News International's chief executive has slammed News of the World phone hackers as lazy, corrupt and having "fake scoops".
Tom Mockridge - a former adviser to former Australian prime minister, Paul Keating, while Keating was Treasurer in the 1980s and the recent head of Sky Italia - told staff at the Times newspaper yesterday that an internal phone hacking investigation would look at other News International titles.
NO evidence of outside involvement has been found in the death of phone hacking whistleblower Sean Hoare, British police said yesterday.
Hertfordshire police said an autopsy confirmed "no evidence of third party involvement and the death is non-suspicious".
Hoare, in his mid-40s, was the first journalist to declare his former friend and editor at the News of the World, Andy Coulson, knew about the now defunct tabloid's widespread use of phone hacking.
Police hope toxicology tests will solve the riddle of Hoare's death.

British PM says with hindsight, would have not hired Coulson
BRITISH Prime Minister David Cameron admitted today that with hindsight, he would not have hired former News of the World editor Andy Coulson as his media chief.
"People will of course make judgements about it. Of course I regret and I am extremely sorry about the furore it has caused," Cameron said in an emergency statement to parliament on the phone-hacking scandal.
"With 20-20 hindsight and all that has followed, I would not have offered him the job and I expect that he wouldn't have taken it.
"But you don't make decisions in hindsight, you make them in the present. You live and you learn and believe you me, I have learned."
Cameron has come under intense pressure over his decision to hire Coulson, shortly after the journalist quit as editor of the News of the World in 2007 following the jailing of two people at the tabloid over phone hacking.
Coulson has always denied wrongdoing but he was arrested earlier this month on over the scandal, and on allegations of police bribery. He resigned as Downing Street communications chief in January.
The prime minister however refused to formally apologise for hiring Coulson.
He repeated his earlier assertion that if it turned out that Coulson had lied to him about his knowledge of hacking at the News of the World tabloid, and had lied to the police, it would be a matter for criminal charges.
"I have an old-fashioned view about innocent until proven guilty but if it turns out I have been lied to that would be a moment for a profound apology," he added.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron defends Andy Coulson over hacking
PRIME Minister David Cameron emphatically denied claims that his staff tried to stop an inquiry into phone hacking and police bribery at the News of the World and defended his decision to hire one of the tabloid's editors as his communications chief.
In a raucous emergency session overnight in parliament, Cameron admitted, however, that both the ruling Conservatives and the opposition Labour parties had failed to pursue key developments in the hacking case over the years.
"The greatest responsibility I have is to clear up this mess," Cameron told MPs, promising that a government inquiry would investigate whether other media organisations besides News of the World also committed illegal acts over the years.
Cameron cut short his Africa trip to appear before the House of Commons, which delayed its summer break to debate issues engulfing Britain's political and media elite and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, which owned the troubled News of the World.
Cameron's former communications chief Andy Coulson - a former editor at the tabloid - is among 10 people who have been arrested in the scandal. One person has been cleared by police.
MPs want to know why Mr Cameron insisted on hiring Mr Coulson despite warnings and how much the prime minister knew about the phone-hacking investigation.
Some have alleged that some of Mr Cameron's staff may have met with police in an attempt to pressure them to drop the investigation.
"To risk any perception that No 10 (Downing Street) was seeking to influence a sensitive police investigation in any way would have been completely wrong," he said.
Mr Cameron did, however, meet with News Corp executives more than two dozen times from May 2010 to this month - meetings that were criticised in parliament by Labour Party leader Ed Miliband, who said Mr Cameron made a "catastrophic error of judgment" in hiring Mr Coulson.
Mr Cameron defended Mr Coulson's work in government and said if it emerged that Mr Coulson had lied to him about his role in the hacking case he would take it seriously.
"You don't make decisions in hindsight," Mr Cameron said.
Britain's Conservative Party said yesterday it had learned that another recently arrested phone-hacking suspect, former News of the World executive editor Neil Wallis, may have advised Mr Coulson before the 2010 national election that put Mr Cameron into power. It said Wallis was not paid for the advice, however.
Mr Cameron also said the hacking affair raises questions over the ethics and values of London's police force. He told MPs yesterday that he would look at ways to bring in new leadership to Britain's police force and named six people who will assistant Lord Justice Brian Leveson's inquiry into the culture, practices, and ethics of the press.
The scandal has captivated audiences from America to Australia, and there's more to come; only a fraction of about 3870 people whose names and telephone numbers were found in News of the World files have been contacted by police so far. It remains unknown how many of those names were targeted for hacking.
Yesterday, a judge awarded Notting Hill actor Hugh Grant - one of the most prominent celebrity critics of News Corp - the right to see whether he was one of them.
Meanwhile, a House of Commons committee yesterday blasted both News International, the News Corp unit which operates the British papers, and London Metropolitan Police for their performance on the scandal.
"We deplore the response of News International to the original investigation into hacking. It is almost impossible to escape the conclusion ... that they were deliberately trying to thwart a criminal investigation," said the home affairs committee, which has been grilling past and present Metropolitan Police officials about their decision not to reopen the hacking investigation in 2009.
However, the panel said it was astounded that police would blame the newspaper's tactics for their failure to mount a robust investigation.
"The difficulties were offered to us as justifying a failure to investigate further and we saw nothing that suggested there was a real will to tackle and overcome those obstacles," the committee said.
The committee said it was "appalled" by testimony on Tuesday from Dick Fedorcio, director of public affairs for the Metropolitan Police press office, about a short-term contract given to Wallis to advise the department on press and publicity. Fedorcio testified that he couldn't remember who recommended Wallis and "attempt(ed) to deflect all blame" to Assistant Commissioner John Yates, who has resigned as head of the anti-terrorist command.
The revelation of the Wallis contract led to the resignation on Sunday of the police chief, Paul Stephenson.
Buckingham Palace reacted sharply to a claim by legislator Chris Bryant that the palace had raised concerns with Cameron's office over his decision to hire Mr Coulson.
"It is outrageous to suggest this," said a palace spokesman, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with royal practice.
Hack detectives take a long, hard look in the Mirror
DETECTIVES investigating phone hacking and corruption at the News of the World are studying evidence of how other British newspapers used illegally obtained crime records from the police national computer.
Last week it emerged that the files from Operation Motorman, an investigation into a private detective in 2003, had been passed to police.
The Sunday Times has obtained details of some of the alleged offences. They reveal how a civilian worker based at a south London police station was trawling criminal records for any information on celebrities.
In April 2005, private investigator Steve Whittamore and Paul Marshall, a communications worker at Tooting police station in London, admitted trading in confidential data.
According to the court files, Whittamore used Marshall to obtain information from the police national computer on several celebrities. In May 2002, he searched for information on Jessie Wallace, who stars in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. The same day, Whittamore called Mirror newspapers at 10.56am.
Three days later, the Sunday Mirror reported that Wallace had once refused to take a breath test and had been involved in a minor offence as a teenager. The headline read: "TV Kat's guilty secrets: she hides criminal past from EastEnders bosses".
Whittamore and Marshall also conducted illegal criminal-record checks on Clifton Tomlinson, the actor Ricky Tomlinson's troubled son, who died in December 2004 from alcoholic liver disease, and Andrew Goody, the father of Jade Goody, the Big Brother contestant who has since died of cancer. Within days of the checks, articles on the individuals appeared in the Sunday Mirror.
The Whittamore files contain 4000 requests from 31 news outlets, including 952 from the Daily Mail, 266 from The Mail on Sunday, 103 from The Observer and four from The Sunday Times.
Many of the requests were legitimate, such as checks on company directorships and the electoral roll, but others could breach data-protection laws unless a public interest can be shown. The maximum penalty for each offence is pound stg. 5000 ($7500).
Trinity Mirror insists its journalists operate within the law and the Press Complaints Commission code, but last week it was facing more allegations.
In an interview with the BBC, a former Sunday Mirror reporter claimed Liz Hurley was among the targets. The source said: " I saw Liz Hurley's phone being hacked and a reporter listen to her mobile phone messages and take a note of what was said . . . I was told there wasn't much on there . . . so they would keep trying to see what they could find." James Hipwell, a former reporter at the Daily Mirror who was jailed for manipulating share prices, also said last week that phone hacking had been used at the paper by show-business reporters. He claimed they were ordered to "trawl the usual suspects", which meant going through voicemails.
Trinity Mirror has written to Britain's Culture, Media and Sport committee about incorrect claims by MP Louise Mensch that Piers Morgan, a former Mirror editor, had admitted phone hacking was used to reveal the affair between Sven-Goran Eriksson, the former England football manager, and television presenter Ulrika Jonsson. Ms Mensch said any correction would be made in parliament.
PHONE-HACKING allegations spread beyond the felled News of the World to other British tabloids on Saturday, though the claims were strongly denounced by their proprietors.
Former journalists at the Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror - the main tabloid competitors to Rupert Murdoch's British stable - reportedly said the illegal hacking of voicemails was widespread at their papers too.
The scandal has also rocked the British police and even given Prime Minister David Cameron a rough ride, but has so far largely been limited to the News of the World, which Murdoch shut on July 7 amid public outrage.
James Hipwell, a former Daily Mirror financial journalist jailed in 2005 for buying shares before tipping them in the paper, said he was aware of hacking because he worked next to the showbusiness desk where it was rife.
“You know what people around you are doing,” the 45-year-old told The Independent newspaper.
“They would call a celebrity with one phone and when it was answered they would then hang up. By that stage the other phone would be into their (the celebrity's) voicemail and they would key in the code.”
“There was a great hilarity about it.”
Hipwell worked at the Mirror for two years until 2000 when it was under the editorship of Piers Morgan, himself a former News of the World editor. Hipwell was sacked by the Mirror over the so-called “City Slickers” scandal.
Morgan, who is now a presenter for US television news network CNN, has denied having any knowledge that phone hacking went on under his editorship and came out fighting on Saturday.
He made a fresh demand for an apology from Louise Mensch, a British lawmaker on a parliamentary committee which quizzed Rupert and James Murdoch on Tuesday, who claimed during the hearing that Morgan had admitted to phone hacking.
“Now then Louise Mensch -- will you be making (a) public apology for your lies in parliament about me, or do I have to write to (committee chairman) John Whittingdale?” Morgan said on Twitter.
“You could just have the guts to accuse me of phone hacking outside of parliamentary privilege, and see how you get on.”
Separately the BBC quoted an unidentified former Sunday Mirror journalist who worked on the paper in the past decade and claimed to have witnessed routine phone hacking in the newsroom.
Trinity Mirror, the group which publishes both papers, said its journalists work within the law and the code of conduct of Britain's self-regulatory Press Complaints Commission.
It said Hipwell's allegations were “totally unsubstantiated”.
On Thursday it emerged that police had requested files from a British data protection regulator which published a report showing the non-Murdoch Daily Mail, the Mirror and the Trinity Mirror-published The People were the biggest users of private investigators to seek confidential information.
Meanwhile police are to investigate claims of phone hacking in Scotland, which has its own legal system, and whether witnesses lied during a perjury trial last year.
Former News of the World editor Andy Coulson -- who went on to become Cameron's media chief before resigning and being arrested this year -- was among those who gave evidence.
Also the Daily Telegraph newspaper said Saturday that British finance minister George Osborne dined with Rupert Murdoch in New York in December, two weeks before Britain's media regulator was originally due to decide on whether to approve Murdoch's bid for full control of pay-TV giant BSkyB.
Murdoch's US-based News Corp. was forced to abandon a bid for full control of the lucrative pay-TV satellite broadcaster earlier this month because of the scandal.
The Treasury refused to discuss who attended, but insisted that BSkyB was not discussed.
The Daily Telegraph also said that Lord Brian Leveson, the judge in charge of the phone-hacking inquiry, went to two parties in the last year at the home of Matthew Freud, a public relations executive married to Murdoch's daughter Elisabeth.
The BBC reported that Leveson had told Cameron of his Murdoch connections before he was appointed last week.
Cameron's Downing Street office said he attended the events in his capacity as sentencing council chair, and “nothing more”.
Dow Jones editor-in-chief Robert Thomson, the American flagship of Murdoch's media empire, meanwhile reminded journalists that they must follow a code of ethics in a memo to all staff.
In the wake of the phone-hacking scandal, Thomson said Dow Jones reporters needed to be alert “and hold ourselves to higher standards of probity than other news organizations”.
“It is clear to every one of you how much emphasis that we collectively place on ethics at Dow Jones, but, in light of recent events in London, it is worth re-emphasizing those principles,” he wrote.
Thomson, former editor-in-chief of the Times of London another paper owned by Murdoch's News Corp., took up his post at Dow Jones in 2007.
Dow Jones also belongs to News Corp. and is part of its Consumer Media Group, which also publishes The Wall Street Journal. It employs about 2,000 journalists around the world.

come on guys murdoch naaaa.
now mi5 clean up for the government that is different.
Loose lips sink ships.
funny how while the body was still warm nick mi5 davies the greatest journalist in the country was writing an article about how ill sean was.
why would an award winning guardian hack state that it was natural causes before a blood test had even been done.
why even mention sean”s drug taking alcohol binges and yellow skin.
so much for an investigation.
Sean Hoare, The News of the World journalist who blew the whistle on the corruption in Murdoch’s media and the political class,has been found dead .
Was he murdered because he knew too much?
Let’s examine the facts.
Ever since Rupert Murdochhired PR giants Edelman last week, we’ve been seeing a onslaught of activity by News Corp to save it’s battered reputation.
We’ve seen Murdoch’s key Colonel’sRebekah BrooksandLes Hintonleave theirpositionswith the NOTW and WSJ, but rather tellingly, they are still employed by News Corp.
We saw Saudi Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal Alsaud (The largest shareholder in Murdoch’s media empire, after Murdoch himself)wheeled into carrying out presser dutieswhere he declared his undying love for Murdoch, and blamed the whole situation on a few bad apples within the company.
We saw Britain’s most powerful policeman, Met Police Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson,quit his postafter he was given a free reported £15,000 holiday at a resort whereNeil Wallis , former deputy editor of NOTW, was senior management.
Let’s just work out the formula thus far:
Phone hacking + Big media + Police + Politicians X Corruption =
The coverage on Sean Hoare death has been contemptuous to say the least.
You would have thought that a media that has been salivating over every nuance and angle connected to this ever widening story would be going into the stratosphere with the news that the man who kick started the whole affair, the man who crucially had not signed any confidentiality agreement with Murdoch’s media and thus was free to speak his mind, winds up dead.
The police of course havealready been quick to state that“The death is currently being treated as unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious”.
What is clear to me is that Sean Hoare knew too much and he couldn’t be paid off.
There will now be a smear campaign against him in the media.
Already I’ve noticed a disturbing pattern with a build up of accusations about his character to undermine his credibility as a reliable source of information – alcoholic, fantasist, paranoid, conspiracy theorist, couldn’t be sure what to believe of what he said, scared of people coming to get him etc etc.
It will be interesting to see if there is a proper coronial inquiry into this death.
As Steve Richards commented inThe Independent recently,“Here was a company that evidently thought it was powerful enough to get away with it, able to block police enquiries and to pay off victims of crime.”
Phone hacking + Big media + Police + Politicians X Corruption = Whistle blower Sean Hoare murdered.
Do the math, no conspiracy theory needed.
What happened to the last whistle blower to break ranks?
This appears to be a political assassination to silence a critic dangerous to Murdock and news Corp. Murdoch forces clearly were involved with his demise, and Hoare’s death is being covered up by dirty cops on the payroll. Today’s Parliamentary hearings were an embarrassment, with the amount of fear and deerence to R. Murdoch and his son James. This is high level crime, and they are keen to cover it all up.
So this man takes a chunk out of the police, Murdock, the goverment and says he has a fear for his life and then goes and drop dead.
The media are doing all they can to discredit this man using un-named sources but it does look and smells like another Dr David Kelly
come on guys murdoch naaaa.

Be patient... the impact of all of this on the public consciousness is huge... most are aware our system is corrupt but this has provided the tipping point, and as whistleblowers emerge hourly, the whole thing is like a runaway train that will not stop. Those who have been involved against their better judgement or more likely forced to comply, are making a stand and doing the right thing!
The people are being shown a glimpse of the extent of the corruption and tyranny, the people have a choice. There are many non-violent options to change the situation.

It's a rare thing for a brand to be the focus of such a wave of revulsion --Simon Middleton, brand strategist
British scandal sheet wracked by scandal of its own
By Bryony Jones, CNN
July 7, 2011
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
(CNN) -- Britain's News of the World newspaper and its parent company News International will likely be seriously damaged by the phone-hacking scandal, analysts say.Experts are divided, though, on how the paper's owner, media magnate Rupert Murdoch, will weather the storm. News International also owns the Sun, the Times and the Sunday Times in Britain. Murdoch's media empire also encompasses Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post and Harper Collins publishers in the United States. Journalists at News of the World, a tabloid that is the world's top-selling English-language newspaper, have been accused of hacking into the mobile phone account of missing British teenager Milly Dowler, intercepting messages in search of news. They then allegedly deleted messages to keep her mailbox from filling up, giving her family and friends false hope that the schoolgirl -- later found murdered -- was still alive. Police also are investigating suggestions the paper -- known for its exposes of celebrities and politicians -- may have targeted the relatives of other high profile crime victims, including at least one of those killed in the 2005 London bombings. The controversy has sparked a "wave of revulsion" towards the weekly, prompting calls for a boycott by both readers and advertisers which look set to hit it this Sunday. Hollywood star Hugh Grant, who says his own phone was hacked by News of the World, is among those encouraging Britons to "vote with their wallets." And several experts have warned that even firing the reporters and editors responsible is unlikely to repair the paper's wrecked reputation. Murdoch has condemned the allegations against News of the World as "deplorable and unacceptable," and said, "We are committed to addressing these issues fully and have taken a number of important steps to prevent them from happening again." But Murdoch insists he is standing by Rebekah Brooks, editor of News of the World at the time and now News International chief executive. In a memo to the newspaper's staff, Brooks said, "it is inconceivable that I knew or worse, sanctioned these appalling allegations." But Murdoch biographer Michael Wolff believes Brooks, whose relationship with Murdoch has often been compared to that of a daughter, is among the high profile heads likely to have to roll. "Rebekah is toast," he told CNN. "It wouldn't be the first time that Rupert has thrown a family member overboard.
""I think the question is, 'Is it too late to fix?' At one point, they could have come forward and said 'this is terrible,' they could have explained it was part of a culture that got out of control, they could have fired everybody, even closed the newspaper.
"Instead they covered it up, and once a cover-up has started, I'm not sure you can back out of it. It may be that the only way to fix it now is to purge the company of people called Murdoch. "Even that, Wolff says, is unlikely to be enough to repair the damage.
Business strategist Simon Middleton, author of "Build a Brand in 30 Days," agrees that the company has gone well beyond the point of instituting basic damage limitation measures. "It's a rare thing for a brand to be the focus of such a wave of revulsion around the country," he told CNN, predicting a "perfect storm" of trouble for the paper following the recent "skin-crawling" revelations. "Firing somebody isn't going to fix this. It will take years," he said. Middleton said the impact of the phone-hacking scandal could spread far beyond the News of the World -- and that the paper itself may not survive. "It's like a family: If one member gets a bad reputation, the others can be tarnished too -- you get damage by association, and that could be the case for the other papers in News International stable. "The whole Murdoch empire is tarnished by it. The wider Murdoch empire is big enough to survive, but I'm not so sure about the News of the World." But media analyst Claire Enders said the scandal was unlikely to affect Murdoch's business on a global level. "News International is still immensely powerful. The story is not making much impact outside the UK." Middleton said that - like an alcoholic recognizing he has a drink problem -- the paper's only hope was to acknowledge its faults and say it's sorry - before rebuilding from scratch. "Brands that have made big mistakes have been forgiven in the past, but only after they recognized that they got it wrong, and apologized," he said.
Experts say heads are likely to roll over the hacking scandal --
but Rupert Murdoch insists he is standing by Rebekah Brooks.
News International whistleblower's death 'non-suspicious,' police say
By the CNN Wire Staff
The Question in everyone' mind is...
The statement by the London Met Police that mysterious sudden death on the 18th July, 2011 of Sean Hoare the whistleblower into illegal phone hacking- illegal blinging and illegal police bribes at Rupert Murdoch's News International-NEWS OF THE WORLD a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's all powerful News Corp, the day before the start of the Parliamentary Select Committee into illegal phone hacking- illegal blinging and illegal police bribes at Rupert Murdoch's News International-NEWS OF THE WORLD a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's all powerful News Corp due to start on the 19th July, 2011 is the most suspicious press release statement the London Met Police has ever released and that statement it self makes the ordinary person on the street wonder if the London Met Police at a very high ranking level with the help of organisations like MI5 and MI6 who would capable of the murder of Whistleblower Sean Hoare in such a way that it all looks to the public as death by natural causes... if is starting to become well known that organisations like MI5, MI6, the CIA, Mossad, the KGB etc have drugs that can cause death such as a heart attach within 24 hours of unwittingly taking them in a glass of water or a cup of tea... that are absolutely undetectable by any autopsy or post-mortam and have no colour or taste so the drug can be placed in a clear glass or bottle of water and the person who drank the water would never guess or know that this drug had been placed into the water he or she was drinking... that is how the well known multi millionaire Western Australian businessman and and financier Laurie Connel was murdered when he threatened to expaose many of the most powerful people in political and business circles in Australia during his contraversial fraud trial where Mr Connel ended up deciding to represent himself after sacking his large team of attorneys who Mr Connel said he could no longer trust.. " James Kleck Editor of www.awn.bz and USAWeeklynews.com
London (CNN) -- Investigators have found no sign of foul play in the death of a man identified as the whistleblower behind the scandal surrounding media mogul Rupert Murdoch's News International, British police announced Tuesday.
Sean Hoare was one of the first journalists to go on the record and allege phone hacking at Murdoch's now-defunct News of the World. He was found dead Monday at his home in Watford, northwest of London, the British Press Association said.
An autopsy conducted Tuesday afternoon "has concluded there is no evidence of third-party involvement and the death is non-suspicious," Hertfordshire police said in a statement. Earlier, police had called his death "unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious."
Hoare had publicly accused News of the World of phone-hacking and using "pinging" -- a method of tracking someone's cell phone using technology that only police and security officials could access -- according to the New York Times. He was one of the few sources who allowed his name to be used when speaking to the Times last year for an investigative report about allegations of phone-hacking by the British tabloid, which was shuttered last weekend as the scandal grew.
The rapidly metastasizing scandal has led to the resignations of several of Murdoch's top lieutenants and of the two top officials of London's Metropolitan Police, whose officers were accused of taking payments from journalists in exchange for confidential information.
The scandal has led to 10 arrests, including those of two former News of the World editors, Andy Coulson and Rebekah Brooks. Brooks' arrest came two days after her resignation as head of News International, the British subsidiary of Murdoch's global conglomerate News Corp., while Coulson had gone on to become Prime Minister David Cameron's communications director.
Hoare specifically accused Coulson of wrongdoing, saying Coulson "encouraged" phone-hacking." Coulson resigned his Downing Street post in January when police launched a new probe into the hacking allegations.
The Times described Hoare has a "onetime close friend of Coulson's." The report added that Hoare said he was "fired during a period when he was struggling with drugs and alcohol. He said he was now revealing his own use of the dark arts -- which included breaking into the messages of celebrities like David and Victoria Beckham -- because it was unfair for the paper to pin the blame solely on" one reporter who covered the royal family.
Hoare "repeatedly expressed the hope that the hacking scandal would lead to journalism in general being cleaned up and said he had decided to blow the whistle on the activities of some of his former News of the World colleagues with that aim in mind," Britain's The Guardian newspaper reported Monday.
His allegations ultimately led to Tuesday's testimony by Murdoch to a House of Commons committee, where he denied ultimate responsibility for illegal phone hacking carried out by his employees.
"I feel that the people I trusted, I don't know at what level, let me down and I think they behaved disgracefully, betrayed the company and me, and it's for them to pay," he said. "I think that frankly I'm the best person to clear this up."

London (CNN) -- Rebekah Brooks, who resigned on Friday as chief executive of News International, was the youngest person ever to edit a national British newspaper, and made a stellar rise through the ranks of Rupert Murdoch's media empire.
She held the top job at News International, the News Corp.'s British subsidiary, for two years after editing the country's best-selling daily tabloid, the Sun, and its best-selling Sunday tabloid, the News of the World. But following sweeping allegations of illegal eavesdropping by News of the World journalists when she was editor, British lawmakers asked her to testify before a parliamentary committee investigating the scandal. She has agreed to appear on July 19, alongside former boss Rupert Murdoch and his son James. She held the top job at News International, the News Corp.'s British subsidiary, for two years after editing the country's best-selling daily tabloid, the Sun, and its best-selling Sunday tabloid, the News of the World. But following sweeping allegations of illegal eavesdropping by News of the World journalists when she was editor, British lawmakers asked her to testify before a parliamentary committee investigating the scandal. She has agreed to appear on July 19, alongside former boss Rupert Murdoch and his son James. However, following her arrest by police investigating the hacking scandal on Sunday, it is unclear if she will answer MPs' questions. Brought up in Cheshire, northern England, in the 1970s, Rebekah Brooks is said to have decided on a career in journalism at the age of 14, beginning with a job as a "tea girl" at her local paper. In her late teens, she moved to Paris, where she is reported to have worked at architectural magazineL'Architecture d'aujourd'hui and studied at the Sorbonne. On her return to the UK, she worked in regional papers before making the move to Sunday tabloid News of the World in the late 1980s. Starting out as a secretary, Rebekah Wade -- her maiden name -- swiftly made her way up the editorial food chain, becoming deputy editor by the age of 27. She tells of how, at a corporate golf day shortly after she was appointed, one senior executive ordered her to sew the buttons back on his shirt. Sexism in the workplace aside, Brooks' rise through the ranks continued. She was named deputy editor of the hugely popular Sun newspaper, the News of the World's sister title, in 1998. In 2000, she returned to the News of the World, this time in the top job, becoming the youngest-ever editor of a national British paper. While editor of the weekly, Brooks argued for the creation of a U.S.-style "Sarah's Law," which would allow parents with young children to know about anyone convicted of child sex crimes living close to their homes. As part of the controversial campaign, which was inspired by the murder of eight-year-old Sarah Payne in July 2000, Brooks took the decision to name and shame offenders in the pages of her paper. The lists sparked witch-hunts and riots, as communities across Britain tried to hound pedophiles out of their neighborhoods. It was condemned by police, but Brooks remains unrepentant. In a 2009 speech, she admitted the campaign was "a blunt and contentious way of informing the public... hard lessons were learnt but I don't regret the campaign for one minute." She married soap star Ross Kemp, famous for his hard-man role as Grant Mitchell in long-running British TV show "Eastenders." In 2003, she was promoted again, becoming editor of the Sun. In addition to working for two of the UK's most famous tabloids, Brooks hit the headlines herself on a number of occasions. In March 2003 she courted controversy -- and hinted at the scandal to come -- when, appearing before a government committee, she admitted that her paper had paid police officers for information. Two years later, in November 2005, she was arrested after an alleged assault on her then-husband, Kemp. No charges were ever filed against her. The couple divorced in 2009. Later the same year she married horse trainer Charlie Brooks. The couple's wedding party was attended by a host of big names, including the Murdoch clan (Rupert, James and Elisabeth), then-Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and future-Prime Minister David Cameron. Brooks held the Sun post until 2009 when she was handpicked for the role of News International chief executive by Rupert Murdoch. The pair had been close for many years: Murdoch is said to treat Brooks like a daughter.

In their report below, the BBC announces the sudden and "unexplained" death of Sean Hoare, a former News of the World reporter and before that a reporter at The Sun, who blew the British media and political establishment wide open. He left News of the world in 2005. In March, Mr. Hoare told theBBC that illegal phone hacking was "endemic" at News of the World, a British newspaper owned by Rupert Murdoch that sold 2.7 million copies a week. In that report, the BBC led their program by depicting Mr. Hoare as a drug addict. Last week, the New York times reported that Mr. Hoare told them that News of the World paid police to use technology that could track people through their mobile phone signals.Yesterday morning (Monday, July 18, 2011) Hertfordshire police discovered Mr. Hoare's body in the garden outside his home north of London. They said they went to his house because they had concerns for his welfare.
Sean Hoare's revelations have implicated everyone from low level members in media to names of media mogul Rupert Murdoch, British Parliamentarians and Britain's present and former prime ministers, David Cameron, Gordon Brown, David Cameron and Tony Blair. AP reported:
"The scandal has come uncomfortably close to Prime Minister David Cameron, who, like predecessors Gordon Brown and Tony Blair, courted the powerful Murdoch empire whose endorsement is considered capable of swinging elections."
The many who have been arrested include arrested have been: Rebekah Brooks, a Murdoch Aide and Chief Executive of his News International: Andy Coulson, Editor of News of the World; and former royal editor Clive Goodman. Rebekah Brooks is/was a close personal friend of Brown, Cameron and Blair. Coulson is central to these crimes in which he links the scandal to Prime Minister David Cameron for whom he worked as communications chief.In the week past, Britain's Top Cop, Sir Paul Stephenson and Assistant Police Commissioner, John Yates were forced to resign due to corruption and their links to Murdoch's media empire.
"Mushrooming allegations of immoral and criminal behavior at the paper — including bribing police officers for information, hacking into the voice mail of murdered schoolgirls' families and targeting the phones of the relatives of soldiers killed in Afghanistan and the victims of the London transit attacks. Police say they are examining 4,000 names of people who may have been targeted by the tabloid, which sells about 2.7 million copies a week."
Think there is enough motivation in all this for people burned by the whistleblower to kill him - either for revenge or to eliminate him as a witness? Well, the BBC reassures us otherwise by stating not once - but twice that Sean Hoare's death was "unexpected" but "not thought to be suspicious."
"A police spokesman said the death was currently being treated as unexplained, but was not thought to be suspicious."
With Britain's top police officials resigning over this, why are we now expected to believe their 'spokesman?'
In another report, Associated Press is quick to nail Sean Hoare's coffin lid down with an assassination of his character accusing the dead man of being,
"the kind of reporter who could knock back several whiskeys and a few lines of cocaine before filing salacious stories of celebrity misbehavior ... ahard partier who got high and drunk with the celebrities ... of starting the day with a " 'rock star's breakfast' — a line of cocaine and a Jack Daniel's ... of heavy drinking and drug-taking [which] became problematic ... angry that he was being treated like a suspect rather than a witness [and of] struggling with addiction."
In the end of their salacious story, AP tried to cover their character assassination by throwing in a tidbit of redemption Sean Hoare by quoting David Yelland, former editor of The Sun in a mixed message:
"Sean Hoare was trying to be honest, struggling with addiction. But he was a good man. My God." On a BBC program broadcast Monday night, Hoare said phone hacking was "endemic" in his former newspaper.
Of course Sean is no longer here to defend himself.
The corporate media and their imperial bosses are scrambling to distance themselves of the same practices employed by News of the World. They are hard pressed to bury this story as quickly and simply as Sean Hoare has been buried. Some think they will be successful. Others think this story has gone far to deep and wide and that more revelations and arrests among heads of media and government will continue to blow up in their faces.

NoW phone-hacking whistle-blower Sean Hoare found dead BBC
July 19, 2011
A former News of the World journalist who made phone-hacking allegations against the paper has been found dead at his home in Watford.
Mr Hoare had told the New York Times hacking was far more extensive than the paper acknowledged when police first investigated hacking claims.
Sean Hoare also told the BBC's Panorama phone hacking was "endemic" at the NoW.
A police spokesman said the death was currently being treated as unexplained, but was not thought to be suspicious.
Meanwhile computer hackers have tampered with the website of The Sun, which is also owned by News International.
Readers were briefly directed to a hoax story which said Rupert Murdoch has been found dead in his garden.
A group of hackers called Lulz Security, which has previously targeted games companies and US government websites, claimed responsibility via Twitter.
Visitors to the Sun website were redirected to the group's Twitter page.
News International said it was "aware" of what was happening but made no further comment.
Earlier Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner John Yates resigned after growing pressure amid the phone-hacking scandal.
It has also emerged that a former senior News of the World (NoW) journalist carried out work for Scotland Yard dealing with witnesses and suspects while employed by the paper.
Alex Marunchak was employed by the Met as a Ukrainian language interpreter and was on Scotland Yard's list of interpreters between 1980 and 2000.
According to the BBC's Panorama, the former NoW Irish edition editor obtained e-mails hacked into by a private detective in 2006. Mr Marunchak denied receiving "any unlawfully obtained material".
In a statement, the Met said it would look into the matter, saying: "We recognise that this may cause concern and that some professions may be incompatible with the role of an interpreter."
Hertfordshire Police said Mr Hoare's body was discovered after police were called to his home in Langley Road, Watford at 1040 BST on Monday.
They said: "The death is currently being treated as unexplained, but not thought to be suspicious. Police investigations into this incident are ongoing."
When he first spoke out, Mr Hoare told Panorama the then NoW editor Andy Coulson had asked him to hack phones - something Mr Coulson has denied.
Suspension move
Earlier, Met Police Assistant Commissioner John Yates resigned after he was informed he would be suspended pending an inquiry into his links with a former NoW journalist.
Mr Yates had checked the credentials of the paper's former deputy editor Neil Wallis before he too was employed by the Met.
Mr Wallis was arrested and released on bail on Thursday on suspicion of conspiring to intercept communications.
Met Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson, the most senior policeman in Britain, resigned on Sunday after also facing criticism for the force's recruitment of Mr Wallis as a PR consultant.

Alex Marunchak was employed by the Met as a Ukrainian language interpreter and was on Scotland Yard's list of interpreters between 1980 and 2000.
Mayor of London Boris Johnson said Deputy Commissioner Tim Godwin would be in charge at Scotland Yard until Sir Paul's replacement was appointed. Mr Yates will be replaced in the interim as the Met's head of counter-terrorism by Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick.
Mr Johnson said it was right for both Sir Paul and Mr Yates to stand down. Mr Yates said his conscience was clear and had "deep regret" over his resignation.
Job probe
The IPCC said four referrals relating to the police's phone-hacking investigation involved Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson, who resigned on Sunday, and Mr Yates, as well as two other former senior officers.
The BBC understands the other two officers are former Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman and former Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke.
A fifth referral relates to the alleged involvement of Mr Yates in inappropriately securing a job at the Met for the daughter of a friend.
The BBC understands the woman to be Amy Wallis, daughter of Mr Wallis, and she works in a civilian non-operational role.
In the Commons, Home Secretary Theresa May announced Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary would look into corruption in the police, and an Independent Police Complaints Commission investigation on the same issue would be part of the judge-led inquiry into the hacking scandal.
Murdoch Meltdown: News Corp Imploding; Raising Questions about Corporate Personhood
By Rob Kall
OpEd News
Saturday, Jul 16, 2011
The recent developments unfolding at News Corp challenge the idea of corporate personhood and whether justice can really be served when corporations are given the privileges of personhood. There are also the aspects of accountability that come with being considered a person.
The events at News Corp Are raising some very thorny questions. Two of the top people at News Corp have resigned. The NY Times reports,
Les Hinton, the publisher of The Wall Street Journal since 2007, who oversaw Mr. Murdoch's British newspaper subsidiary when voice mail hacking by journalists was rampant, and Rebekah Brooks, who has run the British papers since 2009 and become the target of unrelenting public outrage, both resigned in the latest blow to the News Corporation and its besieged chairman.
Many former staffers of News Corp have been arrested in England. The FBI has begun an investigation into whether News Corp staffers hacked or tapped the phones of 911 victims.
There are major questions in England about whether News Corp staffers bribed police and other officials. This is a federal crime-- if a US citizen or his representatives engages in bribery in another country.
That raises some interesting questions based on the Supreme Court's recent Citizens United decision.
If a corporation is rife with corruption. If numerous top officials in the company are suspected of participation in criminal activity, can the company be charged with crimes. If so, can it be tried and convicted. If so, and it is found guilty, can punishments set for individuals be applied to the company?
If the sentence for a human would be death or incarceration, would that mean shutting down or stopping the company from doing any of its usual business for the duration of the sentence? Of course, preventing a company from doing any business would be like a death penalty.
That raises the question of whether it is possible to treat a company like a person in terms of justice. We know that companies can pursue to positive rights of personhood, but if they can not be held accountable when it comes to crimes, perhaps the supreme court should be required to take a look at its past decisions on the rights of corporate personhood. Perhaps it is time that corporations lose those rights... or that the state of personhood for corporations also include the liabilities, particularly those of facing punishment.
If there was ever a criminal corporation, then News Corp appears to be one, and we might throw in Haliburton and KBR and Monsanto as well. It is time for America to re-assess corporate personhood.

Multi-Billion-Dollar Terrorists and the Disappearing Middle Class
Every Predator drone in use in Afghanistan cost taxpayers $4.5 million. And a third of them crash.
AGM-114 Hellfire missile hung on the rail of an US Air Force (USAF) MQ-1L Predator Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)
Dec. 1, 2010 - An AGM-114 Hellfire missile hung on the rail of an US Air Force (USAF) MQ-1L Predator Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is inscribed with, "In Memory of Honorable Ronald Reagan." Every single Hellfire missile fired in Afghanistan costs $58,000.00. U.S. and allied forces are dropping huge numbers of these bombs in Afghanistan this year: So far this year, coalition aircraft have used 4,615 bombs and Hellfire missiles, already exceeding the 4,184 dropped in all of last year.

The US government (White House and Congress) spends $10 billion dollars a month, or $120 billion a year, to fight an estimated “50 -75 ‘Al Qaeda types’ in Afghanistan”, according to the CIA and quoted in the Financial Times of London (6/25 -26/11, p. 5). During the past 30 months of the Obama presidency, Washington has spent $300 billion dollars in Afghanistan, which adds up to $4 billion dollars for each alleged ‘Al Queda type’. If we multiply this by the two dozen or so sites and countries where the White House claims ‘Al Qaeda’ terrorists have been spotted, we begin to understand why the US budget deficit has grown astronomically to over $1.6 trillion for the current fiscal year.
During Obama’s Presidency, Social Security’s cost-of-living adjustment has been frozen, resulting in a net decrease of over 8 percent, which is exactly the amount spent chasing just 5 dozen ‘Al Qaeda terrorists’ in the mountains bordering Pakistan.
It is absurd to believe that the Pentagon and White House would spend $10 billion a month just to hunt down a handful of terrorists ensconced in the mountains of Afghanistan. So what is the war in Afghanistan about? The answer one most frequently reads and hears is that the war is really against the Taliban, a mass-based Islamic nationalist guerrilla movement with tens of thousands of activists.
The Taliban, however, have never engaged in any terrorist act against the territorial United States or its overseas presence. The Taliban have always maintained their fight was for the expulsion of foreign forces occupying Afghanistan. Hence the Taliban is not part of any “international terrorist network”. If the US war in Afghanistan is not about defeating terrorism, then why the massive expenditure of funds and manpower for over a decade?
Several hypotheses come to mind
The first is the geopolitics of Afghanistan: The US is actively establishing forward military bases, surrounding and bordering on China.
Secondly, US bases in Afghanistan serve as launching pads to foment “dissident separatist” armed ethnic conflicts and apply the tactics of ‘divide and conquer’ against Iran, China, Russia and Central Asian republics.
Thirdly, Washington’s launch of the Afghan war (2001) and the easy initial conquest encouraged the Pentagon to believe that a low cost, easy military victory was at hand, one that could enhance the image of the US as an invincible power, capable of imposing its rule anywhere in the world, unlike the disastrous experience of the USSR.
Fourthly, the early success of the Afghan war was seen as a prelude to the launching of a sequence of successful wars, first against Iraq and to be followed by Iran, Syria and beyond. These would serve the triple purpose of enhancing Israeli regional power, controlling strategic oil resources and enlarging the arc of US military bases from South and Central Asia, through the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean.
The strategic policies, formulated by the militarists and Zionists in the Bush and Obama Administrations, assumed that guns, money, force and bribes could build stable satellite states firmly within the orbit of the post-Soviet US empire. Afghanistan was seen as an easy first conquest the initial step to sequential wars. Each victory, it was assumed would undermine domestic and allied (European) opposition. The initial costs of imperial war, the Neo-Cons claimed, would be paid for by wealth extracted from the conquered countries, especially from the oil producing regions.
The rapid US defeat of the Taliban government confirmed the belief of the military strategists that “backward”, lightly armed Islamic peoples were no match up for the US powerhouse and its astute leaders.
Wrong Assumptions, Mistaken Strategies: The Trillion Dollar Disaster
Every assumption, formulated by these civilian strategists and their military counterparts, has been proven wrong. Al Qaeda was and is a marginal adversary; the real force capable of sustaining a prolonged peoples wars against an imperial occupier, inflicting heavy casualties, undermining any local puppet regime and accumulating mass support is the Taliban and related nationalist resistance movements. Israeli-influenced US think-tanks, experts and advisers who portrayed the Islamic adversaries as inept, ineffective and cowardly, totally misread the Afghan resistance. Blinded by ideological antipathy, these high-ranking advisers and White House/Pentagon civilian-office holders failed to recognize the tactical and strategic, political and military acumen of the top and middle-level Islamist nationalist leaders and their tremendous reserve of mass support in neighboring Pakistan and beyond.
The Obama White House, heavily dependent on Islamophobic pro-Israel experts, further isolated the US troops and alienated the Afghan population by tripling the number of troops, further establishing the credentials of the Taliban as the authentic alternative to a foreign occupation.
As for the neo-conservative pipe dreams of successful sequential wars, cooked up by the likes of Paul Wolfowitz, Feith, Abrams, Libby et al, to eliminate Israel’s adversaries and turn the Persian Gulf into a Hebrew lake, the prolonged wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan has, in fact, strengthened Iran’s regional influence, turned the entire Pakistani people against the US and strengthened mass movements against US clients throughout the Middle East.
Sequential imperial defeats have resulted in a massive hemorrhage of the US treasury, rather than the promised flood of oil wealth from tributary clients. According to a recent scholarly study, the military cost of the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan have exceeded $3.2 trillion dollars (“The Costs of War Since 2001”, Eisenhower Study Group, June 2011) and is growing at over ten billion a month. Meanwhile the Taliban “tightens (its) psychological grip” on Afghanistan (FT 6/30/2011, p. 8). According to the latest reports even the most guarded 5-star hotel in the center of Kabul, the Intercontinental, was vulnerable to a sustained assault and take over by militants, because “high security Afghan forces” are infiltrated and the Taliban operate everywhere, having established “shadow” governments in most cities, towns and villages (FT 6/30/11 p.8).
Imperial Decline, Empty Treasury and the Specter of a Smash-Up
The crumbling empire has depleted the US treasury. As the Congress and White House fight over raising the debt ceiling, the cost of war aggressively erodes any possibility of maintaining stable living standards for the American middle and working classes and heightens growing inequalities between the top 1% and the rest of the American people. Imperial wars are based on the pillage of the US treasury. The imperial state has, via extraordinary tax exemptions, concentrated wealth in the hands of the super-rich while the middle and working classes have been pushed downward, as only low paid jobs are available. In 1974, the top 1% of US individuals accounted for 8% of total national income but as of 2008 they earned 18% of national income. And most of this 18% is concentrated in the hands of a tiny super-rich 1% of that 1%, or 0.01% of the American population, (FT 6/28/11, p. 4 and 6/30/11, p. 6). While the super-rich plunder the treasury and intensify the exploitation of labor, the number of middle income jobs is plunging: From 1993 to 2006, over 7% of middle income jobs disappeared (FT 6/30/11, p. 4).
While inequalities may be rising throughout the world, the US now has the greatest inequalities among all the leading capitalist countries. The burden of sustaining a declining empire, with its the monstrous growth in military spending, has fallen disproportionately on middle and working class taxpayers and wage earners. The military and financial elites’ pillage of the economy and treasury has set in motion a steep decline in living standards, income and job opportunities. Between 1970 -2009, while gross domestic product more than doubled, US median pay stagnated in real terms (FT7/28/11, p. 4). If we factor in the added fixed costs of pensions, health and education, real income for wage and salaried workers, especially since the 1990’s, has been declining sharply.
Even greater blows are to come in the second half 2011: As the Obama White House expands its imperial interventions in Pakistan, Libya and Yemen, increasing military and police-state spending, Obama is set to reach budgetary agreements with the far right Republicans, which will savage government health care programs, like MEDICARE and MEDICAID, as well as Social Security, the national retirement program. Prolonged wars have pushed the budget to the breaking point, while the deficit undermines any capacity to revive the economy as it heads toward a ‘repeat recession’.
The entire political establishment is bizarrely oblivious to the fact that their multi-hundred- billion-dollar pursuit of an estimated 50-75 phantom Al Qaeda terrorists in Afghanistan has hastened the disappearance of middle income jobs in the US.
The entire political spectrum has turned decisively to the Right and the Far-Right. The debate between Democrats and Republicans is over whether to slash four trillion or more from the last remnants of our country’s social programs.
The Democrats and the Far-Right are united as they pursue multiple wars while currying favor and funds from upper 0.01% super-rich, financial and real estate moguls whose wealth has grown so dramatically during the crisis!
Conclusion
But there is a deep and quiet discomfort within the leading circles of the Obama regime: The “best and brightest” among his top officials are scampering to jump ship before the coming deluge: the Economic Guru Larry Summers, Rahm Emmanuel, Stuart Levey, Peter Orzag, Bob Gates, Tim Geithner and others, responsible for the disastrous wars, economic catastrophes, the gross concentration of wealth and the savaging of our living standards, have walked out or have announced their ‘retirement’, leaving it to the smiling con-men - President Obama and Vice-President ‘Joe’ Biden - and their ‘last and clueless loyalists’ to take the blame when the economy tanks and our social programs are wiped out. How else can we explain their less-than-courageous departures (to ‘spend more time with the family’) in the face of such a deepening crisis? The hasty retreat of these top officials is motivated by their desire to avoid political responsibility and to escape history’s indictment for their role in the impending economic debacle. They are eager to hide from a future judgment over which policy makers and leaders and what policies led to the destruction of the American middle and working classes with their good jobs, stable pensions, Social Security, decent health care and respected place in the world.
FROM THE PREFACE: The popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia have overthrown the public face of the imperial-backed dictatorships in the region, and inspired supporters of popular democracy worldwide.
Clarity Press 05.03.2011
As the Arab revolt spreads from North Africa to the Gulf and deepens its demands to include socio-economic as well as political demands, the Empire is striking back. The ruling military junta in Egypt has cracked down on the prodemocracy movement and looks to its autocratic “partners” in the Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula to drown the civil society movements in a blood bath.
While standing by the crumbling dictatorships elsewhere in the region, the United States, France and the United Kingdom raced to intervene when it seemed the revolt had spread to Libya. NATO was deployed, using the UN’s new “responsibility to protect” doctrine authorizing humanitarian intervention. Already NATO intervention has exceeded the UN mandate by bombing the Libyan capital and inflicting civilian casualties. Meanwhile, western governments openly pursue regime change in Libya while seeking to forestall it elsewhere.
These essays chronicle the growing militarization of US policy in North Africa and the Gulf and the historic confrontation between the Arab democratic revolution and the imperial backed satraps; between Libyans fighting for their independence and the Euro-American naval and air forces ravaging the country on behalf of their inept local clients.

The UN Is Aiding a Corporate Takeover of Drinking Water
By Scott Thill
AlterNet
Monday, Jul 4, 2011
Early last month, pharmaceutical titan Merck became the latest multinational to pledge allegiance to the CEO Water Mandate, the United Nations' public-private initiative "designed to assist companies in the development, implementation and disclosure of water sustainability policies and practices."
But there's darker data beneath that sunny marketing: The CEO Water Mandate has been heavily hammered by the Sierra Club, the Polaris Institute and more for exerting undemocratic corporate control over water resources (PDF) under the banner of the United Nations. It even won a Public Eye Award for flagrant greenwashing from the Swiss non-governmental organization Berne Declaration. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
"There is no admission of problems with the Water Mandate, or the United Nations Global Compact itself" -- the strategic policy initiative committed to human rights, labor and the environment -- Blue Gold and Blue Covenant author and activist Maude Barlow, who also chairs the National Council of Canadians and Food & Water Watch, explained to AlterNet. "These initiatives continue to flourish, not least because the most powerful member states of the United Nations are fully behind them. This also means that the United Nations is not funded fully. Programs and agencies often rely on private sponsorship to function, and are often barely getting their core administrative budgets funded."
Another major problem is that routinely compromised and controversial institutions like World Bank, International Monetary Fund and regional development banks in general are in control of the United Nations' biggest projects. In April, the World Bank assumed control of the United Nations Climate Conference's new $100 billion Green Fund, which is the opposite of a comforting proposition, considering the World Bank's repeatedly noxious financing of oil and coal projects.
"That gives control of billions of dollars to those who have been the most ardent promoters of water privatization," added Barlow, whose foreword for the Council of Canadians' recently damning report on private sector influence over the United Nations (PDF) argued that the planet is on the verge of a water crisis of terrifying proportions. "We're also seeing the IMF forcing indebted nations to sell off public assets, including water systems, as a condition of receiving financial support. The whole system is rigged for these corporations, and they still are losing contracts, not meeting their obligations and watching as remunicipalization moves forward in France and other core markets."
That kind of illogical corporate performance would logically lead to less control, not more. But the United Nations continues to hand over the reins to multinationals like its new cosigner Merck, which has repeatedly settled in court over everything from carcinogenic pollution to deceptive marketing. Despite the fact that the United Nations' own Joint Inspection Unit stated in a 2010 report (PDF) that the Global Compact's corporate partnerships were an unregulated mess.
"The lack of a clear and articulated mandate has resulted in blurred focus and impact," the report stated. "The absence of adequate entry criteria and an effective monitoring system to measure actual implementation of the principles by participants has drawn some criticism and reputational risk for the Organization, and the Office’s special set up has countered existing rules and procedures. Ten years after its creation, despite the intense activity carried out by the Office and the increasing resources received, results are mixed and risks unmitigated."
The report suggested that not only was a clearer mandate from Member States required to "rethink and refocus" the Compact's corporate partnerships, but that the United Nations' General Assembly must better direct the Secretary-General to delineate the Compact's overall functions "in order to prevent a situation whereby any external group or actor(s) may divert attention from the strategic goals agreed to promote interests which may damage the reputation of the United Nations." The short version? It's not working, and won't work in its current form for the foreseeable future.
But the United Nations' own advice to itself has evidently fallen mostly on deaf ears.
"Unfortunately, the United Nations appears to be embracing more and more partnerships with the corporate sector across the board," Corporate Accountability International campaign director Gigi Kellett told AlterNet. "Civil society has been raising concerns about this flawed approach for over 10 years. There are strong voices within the United Nations, including some Member states, who are questioning the partnership paradigm adopted by the UN and calling for more transparency and accountability."
But they are voices in the wilderness without the concerted support of a motivated public, as well as the usual civil society champions who make stopping this strain of corporate abuse their life's work. Power truly respects only one thing, and that is equally exercised power. And the public is fully empowered to make all the change it wants, provided it can unplug itself from distracting sex scandals and mainstream media marketing primarily designed to nurture its collective complacency.
"Corporations rely on people's tacit support and willingness to look the other way when they engage in conduct that harms people or the environment and undermines democratic governance and decision-making," Kellett said. "When people come together in coordinated fashion and withhold their support from a corporation, that relationship is turned on its head. Boycotts are one powerful way that individuals can withhold their support, but there are range of other strategies. When activists come together and raise questions about a corporation's actions and tie them to its brand and image, the resulting media exposure can greatly impact how the corporation is perceived by consumers, investors or even government regulators."
But how do you boycott a multinational that controls your water supply? Can you shame a mammoth corporation into abdicating control over a lucrative commodity that should instead be regarded as a universal human right? Talk about your Sisyphean tasks.
"Boycotts are much more difficult with water than a product like Coke," said Barlow. "There are no substitutes for water, and when these corporations are given monopoly power over water systems, boycotts are very unrealistic. Suez, Veolia and others are very concerned about their corporate image, but there is no effective means to hurt them financially except to end or block the contracts before they are signed. Boycotts have been very effective as public awareness campaigns, but citizens need to apply pressure on their governments as the first step in stopping the proliferation of voluntary initiatives."
Demanding regulation of the private sector's products -- from water and natural resource commodification to inscrutable financial instruments and beyond -- as well as the public's political electives appears to be the paramount first principle. Because the problem is getting worse and going nowhere, especially now that our dystopian climate crisis has permanently disrupted business, and existence, as usual. From escalating warming and extreme weather to destabilized nations and environments, Earth is already precariously balanced on the tipping point. And giving profit-minded corporations voluntary control over their power and procedures is a 20th century anachronism best left behind.
"We have not proven to have what it takes to deal with the climate crisis," argued Barlow, "and this is because it is all seen as a giant political and financial game, rather than the best and only chance to head off a catastrophe like we have never before imagined. Climate change is upon us, but we will never admit it fully, nor invest in stopping it, if our governments continue to represent corporate interests above others. It is up to us to challenge our states, and make sure they know we are engaged and aware."

"Last year Mr Hoare (right) claimed that Andy Coulson was aware of
phone hacking while he was editor at the News of the World.
He gave an interview to the New York Times, and then to the BBC, about
the use of phone hacking at the newspaper.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's PM programme, he said phone hacking was
'endemic' in the newspaper industry.
Mr Hoare, who worked on the Sun before being recruited by Mr Coulson
to work on the NOTW, said: 'He was well aware that the practice
exists. To deny it is a lie, simply a lie.'
Mr Coulson denies the allegations.
Later, Mr Hoare was interviewed by police over the allegations he had
made but would offer no comment, Director of Public Prosecutions Keir
Starmer said in December."
Tragic: Police are investigating the death of Mr Hoare after his body
was found at his Hertfordshire home
Investigation: Forensic officers and a policeman at the flat of Mr Hoare
The man who launched the entire phone hacking scandal had become a
paranoid recluse who believed someone was out to get him, a friend has
revealed.
Sean Hoare, who was found dead at his flat in Watford, Hertfordshire,
yesterday, had spent much of the last weeks of his life 'hiding' in
his flat with the curtains drawn.
Last night a friend and neighbour claimed Mr Hoare, 47, had become
increasingly reclusive and paranoid in recent weeks.
‘He would talk about someone from the Government coming to get him,' he said.
'He’d say to me, “If anyone comes by, don’t say I’m in”.
'He was physically going downhill. He was yellow in colour and wasn’t
looking well for the last month.
‘He had a constant struggle with alcohol and talked to me about how
much he had put his wife through.
‘He did say something about phone hacking and I think that was his
main worry. He had definite concerns with the media. He did mention he
was paranoid and would mention conspiracy stuff.’
Former News of the World journalist Mr Hoare had accused former Tory
media chief Andy Coulson of lying about his role in the affair.
He said that when editor of the paper, Mr Coulson actively encouraged
his staff to intercept the calls of celebrities.
It was his explosive claims last autumn that reignited the scandal and
ultimately led to the tumultuous events of the past fortnight which
have shaken the political, police and media establishments.
Police were investigating the possibility that he had killed himself,
saying his death was ‘not thought to be suspicious’.
His death came on a day when:
The Metropolitan Police was left in turmoil as counter-terrorism
officer John Yates was forced to follow Commissioner Sir Paul
Stephenson and resign;
Mr Yates faced investigation over claims that he secured a
Scotland Yard job for the daughter of hacking suspect Neil Wallis;
David Cameron cut short a trip to Africa and said he will fly back
to Britain today after agreeing to delay Parliament’s summer break to
discuss the affair;
London Mayor Boris Johnson infuriated Number Ten by refusing to
say whether the PM should quit over his hiring of Mr Coulson;
Police recovered a bag containing a computer, phone and paperwork
found in a bin near Rebekah Brooks’s London home.
The body of Mr Hoare, 47, was discovered by police yesterday morning
at his modern first-floor flat in Watford.
The former reporter blew the whistle during an investigation by the
New York Times last September, pointing the finger directly at Mr
Coulson, by then the Prime Minister’s communications chief.
Until Mr Hoare spoke out in September, pressure had eased on Mr
Coulson, recruited by David Cameron as his media chief in 2007 after
resigning as editor of the News of the World when royal reporter Clive
Goodman and private investigator Glenn Mulcaire were jailed.
Last week, Mr Hoare was back in the spotlight with further claims,
telling the New York Times that reporters at the News of the World
were able to use police technology to locate people using their mobile
phone signals in exchange for payments to police officers.
Mr Coulson, who quit Downing Street in January and was arrested over
hacking earlier this month, has strenuously denied Mr Hoare’s
allegations.
He issued a statement last year that he had ‘never condoned the use of
phone hacking and nor do I have any recollection of incidences where
phone hacking took place’.
But Mr Hoare told Radio 4’s PM programme that phone hacking was
‘endemic’ at the newspaper and said of his former boss: ‘He was well
aware that the practice exists. To deny it is a lie, simply a lie.’
Mr Hoare’s death remained unexplained last night.
Police could not rule out suicide but friends suggested natural causes
was also a possibility as he had been suffering from ill health.
A post-mortem examination was taking place this morning as police
continued to investigate the death.
A Hertfordshire Police spokeswoman added: 'The man's next of kin have
been informed and the family are being supported by police at this sad
time.'
Officers have yet to confirm arrangements for an inquest to be opened.
His solicitor David Sonn said: ‘I last spoke to him a week ago and he
seemed fine. I am shocked and saddened. It is a terrible tragedy.’
He added: ‘In giving his statement to the New York Times, he was
arguably the catalyst for everything that has happened since.’ When
Mr Coulson was made editor of the News of the World in 2003, he
recruited Mr Hoare as a showbusiness reporter.
They had previously both worked on The Sun’s showbusiness column Bizarre.
One former colleague said: ‘At The Sun, they were absolutely the best
of buddies. They used to go out to Covent Garden and socialise all
night together. Andy would cover for Sean, or vice versa, if one of
them was too hung over for work.
‘I last saw Sean at a do not all that long after he left the News of
the World. He was looking very scrubbed and sober and I asked what he
planned to do, and he said he wanted to get back into journalism but
added, “Journalism has turned its back on me”.’
Mr Hoare was sacked from the News of the World over drink and drug
problems in 2005, and last year sources at the paper said that his
claims should be treated with ‘extreme scepticism’.
But a friend who saw him more recently described him as ‘sober’ and
wanting to rebuild his career.
Restoring Courage Israel Rally Moving Because Of Assassination Fears

Glenn Beck announced Monday that his "Restoring Courage" rally will
have to move locations because he fears than an assassination attempt
may take place if he hold the rally at the Temple Mount, as he
originally intended.
The Temple Mount is one of the holiest and most heavily contested
religious sites in the world. Beck said on his Monday show that his
security team informed him that holding a polarizing rally at the site
might not be the best idea. He said that, because of some of the
as-yet-to-be-announced guests who are planning to attend the rally,
"some of the security services were getting a little nervous."
Beck brought up the assassination of former Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin, and said that he did not want to risk having anyone
killed at his rally.
"Courage must be coupled with wisdom, and the last thing we want to
happen is for anyone to be injured in any way, or there to be any kind
of conflict," he said.
The rally is taking place August 24th in Jerusalem.
Mass psychosis in the US
How Big Pharma got Americans
hooked on anti-psychotic drugs.
James Ridgeway Last Modified: 12 Jul 2011 06:20
Drug companies like Pfizer are accused of pressuring doctors into
over-prescribing medications to patients in order to increase profits
"The use of psychoactive drugs - including both antidepressants and
antipsychotics - has exploded...[yet] 'the tally of those who are
disabled...increased nearly two and a half times."
Marcia Angell, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine
Has America become a nation of psychotics? You would certainly think
so, based on the explosion in the use of antipsychotic medications. In
2008, with over $14 billion in sales, antipsychotics became the single
top-selling therapeutic class of prescription drugs in the United
States, surpassing drugs used to treat high cholesterol and acid
reflux.
Once upon a time, antipsychotics were reserved for a relatively small
number of patients with hard-core psychiatric diagnoses - primarily
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder - to treat such symptoms as
delusions, hallucinations, or formal thought disorder. Today, it
seems, everyone is taking antipsychotics. Parents are told that their
unruly kids are in fact bipolar, and in need of anti-psychotics, while
old people with dementia are dosed, in large numbers, with drugs once
reserved largely for schizophrenics. Americans with symptoms ranging
from chronic depression to anxiety to insomnia are now being
prescribed anti-psychotics at rates that seem to indicate a national
mass psychosis.
It is anything but a coincidence that the explosion in antipsychotic
use coincides with the pharmaceutical industry's development of a new
class of medications known as "atypical antipsychotics." Beginning
with Zyprexa, Risperdal, and Seroquel in the 1990s, followed by
Abilify in the early 2000s, these drugs were touted as being more
effective than older antipsychotics like Haldol and Thorazine. More
importantly, they lacked the most noxious side effects of the older
drugs - in particular, the tremors and other motor control problems.
The atypical anti-psychotics were the bright new stars in the
pharmaceutical industry's roster of psychotropic drugs - costly,
patented medications that made people feel and behave better without
any shaking or drooling. Sales grew steadily, until by 2009 Seroquel
and Abilify numbered fifth and sixth in annual drug sales, and
prescriptions written for the top three atypical antipsychotics
totaled more than 20 million. Suddenly, antipsychotics weren't just
for psychotics any more.

Who do the London Met Police think that the public going to point the finger at for the murder of Sean Hoare?
Answer? The Murdoch Gang
What were the new serious statements that Sean Hoare were making to New York Times Reporters in recent days that would want some one or some group to murder Sean Hoaare in a rather hurry before he was called to the Parliamentary Select Committee on the 19th July, 2011 that would have blow the lid of this affair right open?
Answer: The London Metropolitan Police involvement with the news staff at the News of the World in using police sources and technology to find where someone was buy using police computers and other police technology to locate a person's whereabouts by through their mobile phone for a fee of £300 a time. Sean Hoare was starting to make statements to international reporters about the endemic practice and involvement of the London Met Police in this practice known as blinging in the news trade. Yes the London Met Police had to immediately silence Sean Hoare and make sure he could not attend the Parliamentary Select Committee on the 19th July, 2011 to give evidence for the whole world to see on line about his knowledge of this practice of blinging that members of the London Metropolitan Police had been doing for years for a fee of £300 a time. There is no doubt that the most senior members of the London Metropolitan Police including the one that has just resigned Sir Paul Stephenson, simply had to call in a favour of MI5 and M16 to have Sean Hoare quietly murdered using a new drug they have that can cause a heart attack and can not be detected after death in the body and can be placed in a glass of water without the person drinking it being able to detect that it has been put into the water as it has no taste and no colour. This is what was used to murder the famous millionaire businessman Laurie Connel on Western Australia when he threatened to expose many of the most powerful people in Australian politics and business circles if he went to jail over fraud charges he was defending in court at the time of his death when he collapsed during his trial where he was defending himself because he realised all his lawyers were corrupt and could not be trusted and decided the only way to try and obtain a fair hearing was to represent himself and expose all the powerful people he was the Bag Man for all their millions in cash money transactions for many years in Australia. Those that Laurie Connel could expose, just like the London Metropolitan Police could not allow Sean Hoare to be alive on the morning of the 19th July, 2011 to give evidence to the Parliamentary Select Committee on the 19th July, 2011, simply could not allow Laurie Connel ( known as the Lender of the Last Resort) to live and tell his story...to the court and expose all those powerful people...
20th July 2011
Sean Hoare looks likely to take his place behind Princess Diana and David Kelly in the roll call of controversial deaths. Within hours of reports of his untimely demise, conspiracy theorists were questioning whether he had been murdered.
"Another murder cover-up?" asked one online. Another wrote: "Nothing that the British police can say will convince me that Sean Hoare's death was natural causes."
The decision of many newspapers, but not The Independent, to splash on the sensational death of the "phone-hacking whistleblower" posed the question in some readers' minds: was this man killed by the Murdoch empire? The answer is – unexcitedly but almost certainly – "no".
True, we do not yet have all the facts, but there are many reasons why Mr Hoare's death presents no more of a conspiracy than the failure of Princess Diana to fasten her seatbelt while being driven through the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris in 1997.
Firstly, Mr Hoare was not in possession of unique information about the wrongdoing at the News of the World, nor was he the only one to point the finger at Andy Coulson, its former editor. During its excellent investigation into the "hack attack" last year, The New York Times spoke to 12 current or former NOTW staff, who said hacking was rife.
Secondly, the new inquiry into phone hacking, Operation Weeting, was always unlikely to base its case on the testimony of one ex-employee. While statements may form part of its case, a much bigger part will rely on emails discovered or forensically recovered from News International's digital archive, electronic payment invoices and phone records.
Even if Weeting were to make personal testimony central, it was unlikely to have been Mr Hoare's, since he had been dismissed from the NOTW for drink and drug problems and could be portrayed as an unreliable witness.
Thirdly, the (unspoken but tangible) suggestion that News International might want to send death squads scuttling round Britain to silence witnesses is absurd, and especially so given the trouble it already faces.
Notwithstanding its dark arts, deceit and links to criminals, NI's new strategy is PR-led; it wants to now co-operate with the police and apologise for the mess.
Fourthly, Mr Hoare's death is not being investigated by the Metropolitan Police but by the Hertfordshire force, whose statement that the death was not thought to be suspicious was probably a disappointment to Hertfordshire's best detectives, who may have been only too keen to get one over on their big city colleagues.
Finally, Mr Hoare was not in good health. He was reported to be looking yellow and his doctor had remarked that he should have been dead.
And this is where Mr Hoare almost certainly was a "victim" of News International. He was told to do whatever it took to get the story; he went on marathon benders and snorted coke with rock stars. He had some great times as a show business journalist. But he decided to tell the truth about the illegal methods used to land stories. In that he was brave, and that is what he should be remembered for, not the manner of his passing.

THE Met Police’s communications boss yesterday admitted 10 out of 45 press office staff used to work at the News of the World.
Dick Fedorcio also told the Select Committee he never asked former NoW deputy editor Neil Wallis about phone hacking before taking him on as a consultant. He instead claimed assistant commissioner John Yates, a friend of Mr Wallis, undertook a process of due diligence in vetting him.
But when quizzed by MPs, Mr Yates said this was “over-egging the pudding” and the tendering process was ultimately down to Mr Fedorcio. Asked if he would have appointed Mr Wallis in hindsight, Mr Fedorcio said: “Certainly not”, adding he could not remember who suggested Mr Wallis for the job but denied it was then-News International chief Rebekah Brooks.
Mr Fedorcio also said he was “dismayed” at reports he favoured the NoW when placing stories, even though almost a quarter of his staff were ex-employees. The Met has referred his dealings with Mr Wallis to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Meanwhile, former Met chief Sir Paul Stephenson yesterday said he resigned to prevent continuing damaging speculation over his role in the scandal in the run-up to the London Olympics.

Sean Hoare, the former News of the World showbusiness reporter who was the first named journalist to allege that Andy Coulson was aware of phone hacking by his staff, has been found dead .
Hoare, who worked on the Sun and the News of the World with Coulson before being dismissed for drink and drugs problems, was said to have been found at his Watford home.
Hertfordshire police would not confirm his identity, but said in a statement: "At 10.40am today [Monday 18 July] police were called to Langley Road, Watford, following the concerns for the welfare of a man who lives at an address on the street. Upon police and ambulance arrival at a property, the body of a man was found. The man was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.
"The death is currently being treated as unexplained but not thought to be suspicious. Police investigations into this incident are ongoing."
There was an unexplained delay in the arrival of forensics officers at the scene.
Neighbours said three police cars and two ambulances arrived at the property shortly before 11am. They left around four hours later, around 3pm, shortly after a man and a woman, believed to be grieving relatives, arrived at the premises. There was no police presence at the scene at all for several hours.
The curtains were drawn at the first-floor apartment in a new-build block of flats.
At about 9.15pm, three hours after the Guardian revealed Hoare had been found dead a police van marked "Scientific Services Unit" pulled up at the address, where a police car was already parked. Two officers emerged carrying evidence bags, clipboards, torches and laptop-style bags and entered the building. Three officers carrying cameras and wearing white forensic suits went into the flat at around 9.30pm.
Hoare was in his mid-40s. He first made his claims in a New York Times investigation into the phone-hacking allegations at the News of the World. He told the newspaper that not only did Coulson know of the hacking, but he also actively encouraged his staff to intercept the calls of celebrities in the pursuit of exclusives.
In a subsequent interview with the BBC he alleged he was personally asked by his editor at the time, Coulson, to tap into phones. In an interview with the PM programme he said Coulson's insistence he did not know of the practice was "a lie, it is simply a lie". At the time a Downing Street spokeswoman said Coulson totally and utterly denied the allegations; he had "never condoned the use of phone hacking and nor do I have any recollection of incidences where hacking took place".
Hoare said he was once a close friend of Coulson's, and told the New York Times the two first worked together at the Sun, where, Hoare said, he played recordings of hacked messages for Coulson. At the News of the World, Hoare said, he continued to inform Coulson of his activities. He "actively encouraged me to do it", Hoare said. In September last year he was interviewed under caution by police over his claim the former Tory communications chief asked him to hack into phones when editor of the paper, but declined to make any comment.
Hoare returned to the spotlight last week, after he told the New York Times that reporters at the NoW were able to use police technology to locate people using their mobile phone signals, in exchange for payments to police officers. He said journalists were able to use "pinging", which measured the distance between a mobile handset and a number of phone masts to pinpoint its location.
Hoare gave further details about "pinging" to the Guardian last week. He described how reporters would ask a news desk executive to obtain the location of a target: "Within 15 to 30 minutes someone on the news desk would come back and say 'Right, that's where they are.'"
He said: "You'd just go to the news desk and they'd come back to you. You don't ask any questions. You'd consider it a job done.
"The chain of command is one of absolute discipline, and that's why I never bought into it, like with Andy saying he wasn't aware of it and all that. That's bollocks."
He said he stood by everything he told the New York Times of "pinging". "I don't know how often it happened. That would be wrong of me. But if I had access, as a humble reporter … "
He admitted he had had problems with drink and drugs, and had been in rehab. "But that's irrelevant," he said. "There's more to come. This is not going to go away."
Hoare named a private investigator who he said had links with the News of the World, adding: "He may want to talk now, because I think what you'll find now is a lot of people are going to want to cover their arse." Speaking to another Guardian journalist last week, Hoare repeatedly expressed the hope that the hacking scandal would lead to journalism in general being cleaned up, and said he had decided to blow the whistle on the activities of some of his former NoW colleagues with that aim in mind.
He also said he had been injured the previous weekend while taking down a marquee erected for a children's party. He said he broke his nose and badly injured his foot when a relative accidentally struck him with a pole from the marquee. Hoare also emphasised that he was not making any money from telling his story.
Having been treated for drug and alcohol problems, Hoare reminisced about his partying with former pop stars and said that he missed the days when he was able to go out on the town.
On Monday evening the curtains were drawn at his home, a first-floor apartment in a new-build block of flats.
A neighbour living opposite, Nicky Dormer, said three police cars and two ambulances arrived at the property at 11am; police left at 3pm, shortly after a man and a woman, believed to be grieving relatives, arrived at the premises.
She and another neighbour described Hoare as a jovial man who would often sit on his balcony, overlooking the block entrance, and talk to residents. They said he lived in the block with his partner, a woman called Jo, who they believed had been away on holiday. Neither had seen Hoare for a few days.
Paul Pritchard, 30, another neighbour, said Sean Hoare was "the most sociable" resident, and they would regularly see him watering the communal front lawn.
"It is just such a shock. About a month ago he said he felt unwell and he said he went to the doctors for a checkup. Then I saw him again and he seemed well."

A postmortem on the body of Sean Hoare, the News of the Worldwhistleblower found dead on Monday, is expected to provide a preliminary cause of death.
Police are treating the death of Hoare, 47, as "unexplained but not thought to be suspicious". Hoare was the first named journalist to allege that Andy Coulson, the former News of the World editor, was aware of phone hacking by his staff.
Hoare worked for the Sun and NoW with Coulson before being dismissed for drink and drugs problems, and had spoken openly to a number of news organisations about the practice of phone hacking.
Detectives from Hertfordshire police's major crimes unit are running the investigation because of the high profile of Hoare's death.
They are understood to be awaiting the outcome of the postmortem, due to begin at 2pm on Tuesday, while seeking to establish the last time he was seen alive.
The force said in a statement: "Police investigations continue into the unexplained death of a man who, whilst formal identification is yet to take place, police believe to be Sean Hoare. The postmortem is set to take place today [Tuesday]. The man's next of kin have been informed and the family are being supported by police at this sad time."
The former tabloid journalist is understood to have lived at the first floor flat in Watford with his partner, Jo. Hoare's body was found in the flat at 10.40am on Monday. Neighbours described seeing police and ambulance at the scene until about 3pm.
It was not until after 9pm, two hours after news broke that the phone-hacking whistleblower had been found dead, that more uniformed and plainclothes police arrived at the scene. At about 9.15pm, a police van marked Scientific Services Unit pulled up at the address, where a police car was already parked.
Two officers emerged carrying evidence bags, clipboards, torches and laptop-style bags and entered the building. Three officers carrying cameras and in white forensic suits followed at 9.30pm.
Police sources said that it was "not unusual" for a forensics team to investigate the scene of an unexplained death. The former showbusiness reporter struggled with drug and alcohol problems, and is known to have been unwell in recent weeks.
Hoare returned to the spotlight last Tuesday, after he told the New York Times that reporters at the NoW were able to use police technology to locate people using their mobile phone signals, in exchange for payments to police officers. He said journalists were able to purchase the mobile phone tracking data from police for just £300.
That evening he had dinner with two New York Times journalist involved in the story, Don Van Natta Jr and Jo Becker. Van Natta Jr tweeted on Monday night: "RIP Sean Hoare. Jo Becker and I had dinner with him last Tues night. He was ailing but defiant and funny. And no regrets. All-courage."
Hoare gave further details about so-called "pinging" to Guardian journalists on Tuesday and Wednesday. He described how reporters would ask a newsdesk executive to obtain the location of a target. He said: "Within 15 to 30 minutes someone on the newsdesk would come back and say 'Right, that's where they are.' "
He added: "You'd just go to the newsdesk and they'd come back to you. You don't ask any questions. You'd consider it a job done."
Hoare repeatedly expressed the hope that the hacking scandal would lead to journalism in general being cleaned up, and said he had decided to blow the whistle on the activities of some of his former NoW colleagues with that aim in mind.
Repeated calls to Hoare's home telephone number on Thursday and Friday went unanswered.

Former colleagues have been paying tribute to Sean Hoare, the formerNews of the World entertainment correspondent who was found dead at his Watford home on Monday.
David Yelland, who edited the Sun from 1998 to 2003, used Twitter to say: "Sean Hoare was trying to be honest, struggling with addiction. But he was a good man. My God."
Ben Proctor, who worked with Hoare over many years and was most recently deputy editor of the People, recalled him fondly as "an old fashioned Fleet Street character".
"Typically with Sean he managed to became close to Liam Gallagher. Liam even helped Sean's fledgling freelance career when the News of the World cut him adrift, offering to assist him with background info on a book about Oasis," he said.
Proctor told the Guardian that Hoare was "imbued with an incredible earthy charm", as well as being a great reporter.
"Like a cross between Arthur Daley and Del Trotter, you could always rely on Sean to persuade people to part with the facts."
Hoare, said Proctor, was a journalist of traditional vintage: "An old fashioned Fleet Street character, always in the pub but always with a story."
Though the most of the tributes were warm, Proctor portrayed a man with some hard edges:
"When I first met him he offered to break my knee caps over some 'creative differences'. But another time, when word went round I had a problem, he was first to my home to lend support. I always loved him, everybody did."
Others who worked alongside Hoare recounted fond memories from when they were young and green.
They included the Guardian's columnist Marina Hyde, who worked as a secretary at the Sun, and wrote on Twitter: "Utterly tragic news about my friend Sean Hoare, the first journalist to speak to me when I started as a secretary ... He continued to be kind to me until the very end, and he was more special than I can possibly say."
Simon Ricketts, a Guardian journalist, recalled on Twitter that Hoare was "a lovely generous man" who took him under his wing as a work experience reporter on a local paper: "He handed me a story on a plate. I went out to investigate, got all my notes and got back to the office and started to write it."
"I finished and Sean had a look. He got my notebook, extracted the best quotes, the one's I'd left in the notebook. He tickled, edited and expanded my story.
"By the time he'd finished, it was 100 times better. It got put on the front page of the paper. Sean insisted that my name go on the story. When the paper came out, he walked over with a copy. He gave me it with a flourish. "Congratulations on your first-ever splash," he said."
Ricketts concludes, "I shall raise a glass or 12 tonight to him."

A journalist arrested by police investigating phone hacking at the News of the World faces no further action, her lawyer said on Monday.
Laura Elston, 34, who works for the Press Association news agency, was held for several hours on 27 June when she voluntarily went to a central London police station.
Her solicitor, David Corker, said he had been told she faced no further action: "She has been dropped from the inquiry."
Scotland Yard confirmed a 34-year-old arrested in June had had her bail cancelled and been told she faced no further action.
Elston had been questioned on suspicion of intercepting communications, contrary to section 1 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, and was the only journalist arrested so far with no known News International links.
Elston works as a royal correspondent and was originally released on police bail until October. She joined the organisation as a graduate trainee in 2000.
PA editor Jonathan Grun said: "Laura Elston is a journalist of integrity who has had a distinguished career since joining us as a trainee more than a decade ago. We are pleased that this matter has been cleared up."
She was interviewed by detectives on Operation Weeting, the investigation launched by the Metropolitan police in January following new allegations of phone hacking.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Elston was arrested on suspicion of hacking the voicemails of Prince Charles's spokesman Paddy Harverson.
The allegation related to Elston's phone being used to call Harverson when they were both in Lesotho in 2006.
The paper said it understood Harverson told police he borrowed her phone to access voicemails because his own mobile was not working.
Clarence House was reportedly satisfied Elston did nothing criminal and told detectives she was innocent.
Clarence House, the official residence of the Prince of Wales, declined to comment on the claim on Monday.

Paul Dacre, editor of the Daily Mail, told senior managers he had received reports from PR agencies, footballers and others that News International executives had encouraged them to investigate whether their phones had been hacked by Mail group newspapers, according to the New York Times.
Based on interviews said to have been carried out with former News International staff, the New York Times also claimed Rebekah Brooks had spearheaded a strategy in recent months that appeared designed to spread the blame for hacking across Fleet Street. Several former NoW journalists claimed she asked them to dig up evidence of hacking by others, while one said Brooks's target was not her own newspapers, but those of her rivals.
In an account relayed to his management team, Dacre confronted Brooks at a hotel, telling her: "You are trying to tear down the entire industry."
Lady Claudia Rothermere, wife of the owner of the Mail, was also said to have overheard Brooks say at a dinner party that the Mail was just as culpable as the NoW.
"We didn't break the law," Lady Rothermere said, according to two sources who spoke to the New York Times. Brooks was said to have asked who Rothermere thought she was – "Mother Teresa?"
By the middle of last year, News International's lawyers and some executives were also said to have been urging that the company accept some responsibility – but Brooks disagreed. "Her behaviour all along has been resist, resist, resist," one company official was reported to have said. The US newspaper reported that Rupert Murdoch wanted to "fly commercial to London," so that he might be seen as a man of the people as he prepared to leave a conference in Idaho and come to the UK to take charge of the crisis enveloping his media empire.
He was said to have been told that would hardly do the trick, and Murdoch instead arrived in the UK on a Gulfstream G550 private jet.
Former company executives and political aides also told the New York Times that News International executives engaged in a campaign of selective leaks implicating previous management and the police.

The Daily Mail has never knowingly published a story based on information gleaned from phone hacking or "blagging", the paper's editor, Paul Dacre, told MPs on Monday.
Dacre, the editor-in-chief of Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers, told a joint parliamentary select committee on defamation law reform that he had "absolutely not" published a story he knew was based on unlawfully-accessed material.
Asked by Baroness Hayter whether he had ever "countenanced" phone hacking or blagging – a phrase used to cover a range of techniques used to get hold of private information – in his 19 years at the Mail, Dacre said: "No."
Asked whether unlawful newsgathering techniques could ever be justified, he said: "Goodness me, deep waters. I have considerable sympathy that if there's a great public interest then those methods can be justified."
However, he added later: "I don't think you should ever use hacking or blagging as a [public interest] defence because they're criminal offences."
Dacre made the rare public appearance to give evidence before a joint Commons and Lords committee on the government's draft defamation bill.
Fleet Street's longest-serving editor and a longtime supporter of the Press Complaints Commission, conceded that the self-regulatory body needed to be "radically reformed". But he conceded that it was the "least imperfect system known to man".
The Daily Mail editor is the chairman of the editors' code of practice committee, which formulates the PCC's guidelines for newspapers and magazines.
Dacre described defamation law in the UK as having a "chilling effect" on newspapers, adding that it had got "exponentially worse" in recent years. "There's not a day goes by when predatory lawyers don't try it on, encouraged by vast sums of money which can be made – most of which goes to them."
He added: "The law is becoming more and more onerous and journalists are having to become more and more respectful so it is having a chilling effect."
In April 2009, Dacre revealed that the Daily Mail had recently sacked a journalist for unauthorised use of a private detective to obtain illegal information about people.
An investigation by the information commissioner in December 2006revealed that more than 50 Daily Mail journalists had paid private detectives to obtain 982 pieces of information about celebrities and other individuals.
Associated Newspaper dismissed the investigation, dubbed Operation Motorman, at the time as "utterly meaningless" as it was a snapshot based on the activities of one private detective agency, run by Steve Whittamore. Whittamore, sold information he obtained from the police national computer until he was exposed and convicted in 2005.
The Daily Mail came out on top of a list of newspapers that had used Whittamore's services. Others included the Mail's Associated Newspapers stablemate the Mail on Sunday, the Sunday People, Daily Mirror, Sunday Times and Observer (which is published by Guardian News & Media).
When the information commissioner's report was published in late 2006 an Associated spokesman said the publisher "in common with all newspapers and broadcasters, and many other organisations, including lawyers, use search agencies to obtain information entirely legitimately from a range of public sources ... In addition, the law specifically makes provision for journalists making inquiries in the public interest".
Dacre told the Commons culture, media and sport select committee in 2009 that following the information commissioner's 2006 report, the Daily Mail had banned reporters from using outside agents to supply personal information following, except in cases of overwhelming public interest.

At a time when the reputation of News of the World journalists is at rock bottom, it needs to be said that the paper's former showbusiness correspondent Sean Hoare, who died on Monday, was a lovely man.
In the saga of the phone-hacking scandal, he distinguished himself by being the first former NoW journalist to come out on the record, telling the New York Times last year that his former friend and editor, Andy Coulson, had actively encouraged him to hack into voicemail.
That took courage. But he had a particularly powerful motive for speaking. He knew how destructive the News of the World could be, not just for the targets of its exposés, but also for the ordinary journalists who worked there, who got caught up in its remorseless drive for headlines.
Explaining why he had spoken out, he told me: "I want to right a wrong, lift the lid on it, the whole culture. I know, we all know, that the hacking and other stuff is endemic. Because there is so much intimidation. In the newsroom, you have people being fired, breaking down in tears, hitting the bottle."
He knew this very well, because he was himself a victim of the News of the World. As a showbusiness reporter, he had lived what he was happy to call a privileged life. But the reality had ruined his physical health: "I was paid to go out and take drugs with rock stars – get drunk with them, take pills with them, take cocaine with them. It was so competitive. You are going to go beyond the call of duty. You are going to do things that no sane man would do. You're in a machine."
While it was happening, he loved it. He came from a working-class background of solid Arsenal supporters, always voted Labour, defined himself specifically as a "clause IV" socialist who still believed in public ownership of the means of production. But, working as a reporter, he suddenly found himself up to his elbows in drugs and delirium.
He rapidly arrived at the Sun's Bizarre column, then run by Coulson. He recalled: "There was a system on the Sun. We broke good stories. I had a good relationship with Andy. He would let me do what I wanted as long as I brought in a story. The brief was, 'I don't give a fuck'."
He was a born reporter. He could always find stories. And, unlike some of his nastier tabloid colleagues, he did not play the bully with his sources. He was naturally a warm, kind man, who could light up a lamp-post with his talk. From Bizarre, he moved to the Sunday People, under Neil Wallis, and then to the News of the World, where Andy Coulson had become deputy editor. And, persistently, he did as he was told and went out on the road with rock stars, befriending them, bingeing with them, pausing only to file his copy.
He made no secret of his massive ingestion of drugs. He told me how he used to start the day with "a rock star's breakfast" – a line of cocaine and a Jack Daniels – usually in the company of a journalist who now occupies a senior position at the Sun. He reckoned he was using three grammes of cocaine a day, spending about £1,000 a week. Plus endless alcohol. Looking back, he could see it had done him enormous damage. But at the time, as he recalled, most of his colleagues were doing it, too.
"Everyone got overconfident. We thought we could do coke, go to Brown's, sit in the Red Room with Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence. Everyone got a bit carried away."
It must have scared the rest of Fleet Street when he started talking – he had bought, sold and snorted cocaine with some of the most powerful names in tabloid journalism. One retains a senior position on the Daily Mirror. "I last saw him in Little Havana," he recalled, "at three in the morning, on his hands and knees. He had lost his cocaine wrap. I said to him, 'This is not really the behaviour we expect of a senior journalist from a great Labour paper.' He said, 'Have you got any fucking drugs?'"
And the voicemail hacking was all part of the great game. The idea that it was a secret, or the work of some "rogue reporter", had him rocking in his chair: "Everyone was doing it. Everybody got a bit carried away with this power that they had. No one came close to catching us." He would hack messages and delete them so the competition could not hear them, or hack messages and swap them with mates on other papers.
In the end, his body would not take it any more. He said he started to have fits, that his liver was in such a terrible state that a doctor told him he must be dead. And, as his health collapsed, he was sacked by the News of the World – by his old friend Coulson.
When he spoke out about the voicemail hacking, some Conservative MPs were quick to smear him, spreading tales of his drug use as though that meant he was dishonest. He was genuinely offended by the lies being told by News International and always willing to help me and other reporters who were trying to expose the truth. He was equally offended when Scotland Yard's former assistant commissioner, John Yates, assigned officers to interview him, not as a witness but as a suspect. They told him anything he said could be used against him, and, to his credit, he refused to have anything to do with them.
His health never recovered. He liked to say that he had stopped drinking, but he would treat himself to some red wine. He liked to say he didn't smoke any more, but he would stop for a cigarette on his way home. For better and worse, he was a Fleet Street man.

"Blindingly obvious" evidence of corrupt payments to police officers was found by the former director of public prosecutions, Lord Macdonald, when he inspected News of the World emails, the home affairs select committee was told.
Explaining how he had been called in by solicitors acting for Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation board, Lord Macdonald said that when he inspected the messages it took him between "three to five minutes" to decide that the material had to be passed to police.
"The material I saw was so blindingly obvious that trying to argue that it should not be given to the police would have been a hard task. It was evidence of serious criminal offences."
He first showed it to the News Corp board in June this year. "There was no dissent," he recalled. "They were stunned. They were shocked. I said it was my unequivocal advice that it should be handed to the police. They accepted that."
That board meeting, the former DPP said, was chaired by Rupert Murdoch.
Lord Macdonald shortly afterwards gave the material to Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick at the Metropolitan police. The nine or 10 emails passed over led to the launch of Operation Elveden, the police investigation into corrupt payments to officers for information.
Lord Macdonald, who had been in charge of the Crown Prosecution Service when the phone-hacking prosecution of the NoW's royal correspondent took place, said he had only been alerted to the case due to the convention that the DPP is always notified of crimes involving the royal family.
Members of the committee were highly critical of the CPS's narrow definition of what constituted phone hacking, claiming that it was at odds with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act.
Mark Reckless, the Conservative MP for Rochester, said that the original police investigation was hindered by the advice from the CPS that phone hacking was only an offence if messages had been intercepted before they were listened to by the intended recipient. However, Reckless said, a clause in the RIPA makes it an offence to hack in to messages even if they have already been heard.
Keir Starmer, the current DPP, said that the police had been told that "the RIPA legislation was untested". Listening to messages before they had been heard by the intended recipient was illegal, the police were told, but the question of whether intercepting them afterwards constituted a crime was "untested", he said.
Mark Lewis, the solicitor who has followed the scandal since its start, said he was the first person to lose his job over the affair when the firm in which he was a partner said it no longer wished him to pursue other victims' claims.
Lewis also told MPs that he had been threatened by lawyers acting for John Yates, the former assistant commissioner at the Metropolitan police, because of comments he had made about phone hacking.
"I have copies of a letter from Carter Ruck [solicitors] threatening to sue me on behalf of John Yates," Lewis told the home affairs select committee. He said the Guardian and the Labour MP Chris Bryant had also received threats of being sued. "The costs of the action were paid for by the Metropolitan Police, by the taxpayer," he added.
Lewis said the reason for the investigation taking so long was not due solely to the police. "The DPP seems to have got it wrong and needs to be helped out," he said.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai’s younger half-brother, Ahmad Wali Karzai, was killed in Kandahar on 12 July during a gathering in his house, according to Kandahar’s Canadian Governor Tooryali Wesa. He was shot in the head and chest with a AK-47 fired by Sardar Mohammad, a former bodyguard to another Karzai brother Qayyoum. The 50-year-old Ahmad, a restaurant worker in Chicago before catapulting to fame on Hamid’s shirt-tails, was appointed chairman of the Kandahar Provincial Council in 2005. A ruthless autocrat, he was widely despised, and escaped multiple assassination attempts in the past, but his death nonetheless comes as a major blow to President Karzai in the homeland of the Taliban, and will set off a vicious power struggle to fill Ahmad’s shoes. US ambassador to Afghanistan Ronald Neumann, the CIA’s station chief and their British counterparts pleaded with the president in 2006 to exile his brother, accused of drug dealing. Hamid angrily rejected these accusations and Ahmad stayed in place, rigging the 2009 Afghan presidential elections for him, as he continued to amass wealth, extorting kickbacks on construction contracts, even shaking down bus- and truck-drivers at police posts. Whatever they thought of him, the American military readily rented properties he specially confiscated for them, including the former residence of Taliban Supreme Leader Mullah Omar. The CIA paid him to organise several mercenary forces to help them kill Taliban, even as he was working with the Taliban behind the scenes. He had the support of US Senator John Kerry and even General David Petraeus: “President Karzai is working to create a stronger, more secure Afghanistan, and for such a tragic event to happen to someone within his own family is unfathomable.”
Resentment against the king of Kandahar was long ready to explode, and his murder was welcomed by Kandaharans and Taliban alike. Though he unwittingly recruited even more Taliban than he helped kill, Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi was happy to take responsibility for sending him on his way: “Today in Kandahar city, Hamid Karzai’s brother was killed during Operation Al-Badr. Ahmad Wali Karzai was punished for all his wrongdoings.” Qari’s comrade Mullah Adam Haji concurred: “Ahmad Wali was the best US friend and the Taliban’s worst enemy. He and his whole family have the blood of thousands of Taliban on their hands. His death is very good news for us.”

As the Arab revolt spreads from North Africa to the Gulf and deepens its demands to include socio-economic as well as political demands, the Empire is striking back. The ruling military junta in Egypt has cracked down on the prodemocracy movement and looks to its autocratic “partners” in the Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula to drown the civil society movements in a blood bath.
While standing by the crumbling dictatorships elsewhere in the region, the United States, France and the United Kingdom raced to intervene when it seemed the revolt had spread to Libya. NATO was deployed, using the UN’s new “responsibility to protect” doctrine
The recent rash of civilian killings by NATO forces in occupied Afghanistan raises several basic questions: Why do US – NATO air and ground forces kill so many civilians, so persistently, over such long stretches of time, in regions throughout the country? Why have the number of civilians killed, increased in the course of the conflict? Why do NATO-US airplanes continue to bomb civilian housing and village gatherings and ground troops indiscriminately assault homes and workshops? Why are the pleas of NATO collaborator President Karzai to desist in home bombings go unheeded? Finally, knowing that the killing of civilians, entire families including children, mothers and the elderly alienates the local population and breeds widespread and profound hostility, why do the NATO-US military refuse to alter their tactics and strategy?
Explanations and Excuses for Civilian Killings
Apologists for the NATO killings of civilians are as abundant as their explanations are lacking in substance. Pentagon spokespeople speak of “accidents”, “errors of war”, “collateral damage”; media pundits blame the guerrilla fighters for engaging in warfare in areas populated by civilians; neo-conservative academics and their “think tank” colleagues blame Islamic fundamentalism for converting villagers to their cause and “forcing” NATO to kill civilians in order to create martyrs and to use their deaths as a recruiting device.
These patently superficial explanations raise more questions than answers, or in some cases, inadvertently refute the justification for the entire war. The “error of war” argument begs a more basic question: what kind of war is NATO-US engaged in that constantly finds the guerrillas ‘melting’ into the population, while the occupation breaks down doors and perceives each and every household as a possible sanctuary, or outpost of the resistance? What kind of military relies on high altitude fighter planes and pilotless planes directed from distant command posts to attack population centers, in which commerce, farming and household economies engage the population? Clearly only an army of occupation, an imperial army, is willing to repeatedly sacrifice a multitude of civilians to kill a single or a few suspected combatants. Only a military operating in a hostile civilian environment is going to assume that lodged behind every door of every home there is an “enemy”; that every family is sheltering a combatant; that it is better to “go in shooting” then to risk a bullet in the gut.
‘Accidents of war’ do not ‘just happen’ for an entire decade, covering an entire country. The killing of civilians is a result of a war of imperial conquest against an entire people who resist the occupation in whatever form is appropriate to their circumstance. The pilots and ground troops recognize that they are a hostile alien force, whose presence is commanded from above by Generals and politicians dealing with abstract schemes of ‘terrorists-linked to Al Qaeda’ that have no relation to the dense web of personal bonds of solidarity between resistance fighters and civilians on the ground in Afghanistan.
Working from these abstract categories, the strategists label extended family compounds as ‘hideouts’; family gatherings as ‘terrorist meetings’; trade caravans as ‘guerilla smugglers’. The conflicting interests of the imperial politicians, generals, strategists and military officers on the one hand and the civilian population and resistance form an immense gap. The greater the number of civilian/combatants killed the faster the career advances for imperial officers –eager for promotions and prized pensions. “Success”, according to the imperial world view is measured internationally by the number of client rulers; nationally by the number of flags pinned to the war maps denoting ‘secure cities’; and locally by the body counts of massacred families.
On the ground, among the millions in intimate family and clan circles, where sorrow and anger co-exist, resistance in all of its manifold forms unfolds: Sacred vows and the profane pledges to ‘fight on’ grow out of the millions of daily humiliations affecting young and old, wives and husbands, in homes, markets, roads and by-ways. The hostile stare of a mother sheltering an infant from soldiers breaking into a bedroom is as telling as the crackle of gunfire of a sniper hidden in a mountain crevice.
A People’s War: Not a War on Terror
The killing of civilians is not “accidental”. The fundamental reason that so many civilians are killed, everyday, in every region for over a decade, is because the civilians and the combatants are indistinguishable. The image of the Afghan combatants as some kind of footloose professional bomb throwing terrorist is completely off the mark. Most Afghan fighters have families, cultivate farmland and tend herds; they raise families and attend mosque; they are ‘part-time civilians’ and part-time fighters. Only in the schematic minds of the “great strategists of war” in the Pentagon and NATO headquarters do such distinctions exist. Their deadly military mission to ‘save the people from terrorist fundamentalists’, a self-serving self-deception, is, in fact, a ladder up the military-political hierarchy. Each step up depends on waging a ‘just war’ to a successful conclusion.
The civilian-combatants are a mass popular phenomenon. How else can we explain their capacity to sustain armed resistance for over a decade, indeed, advancing with the passing of time? How can we explain their military success against the armed forces and advisers from 40 countries, including the US, Europe and a clutch of Afro-Asian-Latin American mercenaries? How can we explain the growing resistance despite suffering from military occupation, backed by the most advanced technological instruments of war? How can we explain the ebb of popular support for the war in the ‘Conqueror’s country and the growing number of recruits for the Resistance? The combatants have the loyalty of the Afghan people; they do not have to spend billions to buy the spurious ‘loyalties’ of mercenaries who can and have at any moment ‘turned their guns the other way’.
Weddings are bombed because combatants attend weddings – along with hundreds of relatives and friends. Villages are bombed because peasants cultivate crops, which contribute to the resistance. Civilian shelters become military sanctuaries. Afghanistan is polarized: the US military versus a people in arms. Faced with this reality, the real policy of NATO-Pentagon is to rule or/and ruin. Each bomb killing dozens of civilians in search of one sharpshooter deepens the isolation and discredit of the puppet ruler. “President” Karzai has seen his mission of building a ‘civilian base’ to reconstruct the country utterly discredited. His impotent complaints to NATO to cease bombing civilian targets fall on deaf ears; because the NATO command knows very well that ‘the civilians’ are the ‘deep resistance’ – the vast reserve of support for the combatants; their eyes and ears far excel all the electronic intelligence devices of the Occupier. Just as Karzai cannot convince the civilians to turn against the combatants so he cannot convince the imperial armies to stop bombing civilian homes and gatherings.
Washington knows that with each withdrawal (or retreat), the terrain, the towns and villages are occupied by resistance fighters who emerge from everywhere. The best that the US-NATO politicians can negotiate is a safe orderly departure. The best that they can hope is that their local collaborators do not defect or flee abroad prematurely turning over billions of dollars in military ordinance to the resistance. The best the collaborators can hope is that they will secure an exit route, a visa, an overseas account and a comfortable second home abroad. What is absolutely clear is that the US, NATO and its collaborators will have no role to play in the newly independent Afghanistan.
FROM THE PREFACE: The popular uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia have overthrown the public face of the imperial-backed dictatorships in the region, and inspired supporters of popular democracy worldwide.

As the Arab revolt spreads from North Africa to the Gulf and deepens its demands to include socio-economic as well as political demands, the Empire is striking back. The ruling military junta in Egypt has cracked down on the prodemocracy movement and looks to its autocratic “partners” in the Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula to drown the civil society movements in a blood bath.
While standing by the crumbling dictatorships elsewhere in the region, the United States, France and the United Kingdom raced to intervene when it seemed the revolt had spread to Libya. NATO was deployed, using the UN’s new “responsibility to protect” doctrine authorizing humanitarian intervention. Already NATO intervention has exceeded the UN mandate by bombing the Libyan capital and inflicting civilian casualties. Meanwhile, western governments openly pursue regime change in Libya while seeking to forestall it elsewhere.
These essays chronicle the growing militarization of US policy in North Africa and the Gulf and the historic confrontation between the Arab democratic revolution and the imperial backed satraps; between Libyans fighting for their independence and the Euro-American naval and air forces ravaging the country on behalf of their inept local clients.

Comments:
Ozymandias Because it's part of the strategy, and it can be fun too. Let's not forget the US army took part in one of the largest genocide ever during the conquest of North America. In every war at least since WW2, civilians have been targets for US pilots and soldiers one way or another. When Uncle Sam came to "rescue" Europe, it was not that uncommon to have US soldiers shooting innocent passers by from their vehicles, for the sake of fun, and I won't talk about the many rapes which also occurred.
Guest I think of Charles Manson. Is he crying when he sees so much killing going on and can not get a share? Is he laughing because we did not have the heart to kill one single soul back then? Has the switch in morals just baffled him? Was he a terrorist and just did not know it?
Dady Civilians in Afghanistan, Libya, and elsewhere are being bombed as part of a collective punishment. Even the most depraved warmongers feel they must apologize for bombing weddings, funerals, markets, mosques, hospitals, and schools, because they know that this is criminal. Civilians are not "indistinguishable" from combatants -- not even if they are related to the combatants or are sympathetic to the resistance against invasion.
The ICC issues warrants against Col. Qaddafi and his son while US/NATO bombs civilians and their 'rebels' force cannibalism on captured Libyan soldiers
By Richard Falk with Axis of Logic Commentary
Al Jazeera
Friday, Jul 1, 2011
Editor's Comment: This juridical analysis indicts the U.S. and NATO for their genocidal war on Libya in the midst of US/NATO-spawned ICC warrants being issued for the arrest of Col. Muammar Qaddafi, as well as his son, Seif al-Islam. But it doesn't take a Professor Emeritus of International Law like Peter Falk to come to the same conclusions. Any honest person with common sense sees the absurdity of the illegal-legal attack on Col. Qaddafi and his son and the way the US and NATO have turned the international court into warmongering tribunal. While accusing Col. Qaddafi and his son of "crimes against humanity," the U.S. and NATO continue their slaughter of Libyan civilians with aerial bombing and missile attacks.
One Axis of Logic reader sent us videos of the treatment of Libyan soldiers taken prisoner by the so-called 'rebels', funded and supported militarily by the U.S. and NATO. They included live decapitations, hangings, dismemberment, fatal beatings and Libyan prisoners forced suck on the tongue of a dead dog and to crawl on their knees, hands tied behind their backs and eat and swallow the flesh of fellow prisoners taken captive and executed. The morality of the leaders in Washinton and European capitals is no different. The videos we reviewed were too sickening and awful to show on Axis of Logic but we want the world to know just who and what these 'unarmed protestors' are -with the backing of the U.S. and NATO. The ICC warrants are a transparent mockery.

Doubts surround Gaddafi arrest warrants Al Jazeera
June 29, 2011
The timing and nature of the issuance of arrest warrants against Gaddafi and his allies verifies complex geopolitics.
The International Criminal Court has accused Gaddafi of crimes against humanity and of ordering attacks on civilians [EPA]
The International Criminal Court has formally agreed that warrants should be issued for the arrest of Col. Muammar Qaddafi, as well as his son, Seif al-Islam, who has been acting as Prime Minister along with Libya's intelligence chief, Abdullah Senussi. These three Libyan leaders are charged with crimes against humanity involving the murder, injuring, and imprisoning of Libyan civilians between Feburary 10-18, 2011, the first days of the uprising and prior to NATO's military involvement. The ICC judge speaking on behalf of a three-judge panel authorized the issuance of the arrest warrants, Sanji Monogeng of Botswana, on the basis of the evidence presented by the prosecutor that 'reasonable grounds' existed to support the charges contained in the outstanding indictments against these three individuals. Judge Monogeng clarified the ruling by explaining that issuing an arrest warrant was meant to convey the conclusion that sufficient evidence of criminality existed to proceed with the prosecution, but it is not intended to imply guilt, which must be determined by the outcome of a trial.
The ICC assessment is likely to withstand scrutiny so far as the substance of the accusations directed at the Qaddafi leadership are concerned. Qaddafi clearly responded to the popular challenges directed against the Libyan government with extreme violence against civilians, reinforced by genocidal rhetoric, which certainly seems to involve crimes against humanity. But why was such an effort to arrest and indict was pushed so hard at this time. The timing of the indictment, and now the arrest warrants, arouses strong suspicions, and not just of bad judgment! It is relevant to recall that in the course of NATO's Kosovo War in 1999 against Serbia, the Serbian president, Slobodan Milosevic, was indicted by another European-based international tribunal--the special ad hoc International Criminal Tribunal for Former Yugoslavia. Are we now to expect that whenever NATO has recourse to war the political leader heading its opposition will be charged with international crimes while the fighting ensues? How convenient! Lawfare in the service of warfare!
Rather than a matter of convenience, the motivation seems more sinister. Criticism is deflected from NATO's own lawlessness. In both of these instances, NATO had itself has resorting to war unlawfully, engaging in what was designated at Nuremberg as a 'crime against peace,' and held by that tribunal to be the greatest of war crimes embracing within itself both crimes against humanity and gross violations of the laws of war (war crimes). In the Kosovo War NATO acted without a mandate from the UN, thereby violating the UN Charter's core principle prohibiting non-defensive uses of force unless authorized by the Security Council. In Libya there was such an initial authorization to protect civilians by establishing a no fly zone (Security Council Resoultion 1973, 17 May 2011), but the NATO mission as executed almost immediately grossly exceeded the original mandate, and did little to hide its unmandated goal of regime change in Tripoli by way of ending Qaddafi's role as ruler and thereby achieving victory for opposition forces in a civil war. It is certainly worthy of comment that in both of these wars initiated by NATO the leader of a country attacked was targeted for criminal prosecution before hostilities has ended. Even the Allies in World War II waited until after the end of combat before trying to impose their version of 'victors justice' on surviving defeated German and Japanese leaders.
A similar manipulation of criminal accountability occurred in Iraq a few years ago. There the American led aggressive war waged against Iraq in 2003 was quickly followed by a carefully planned and orchestrated criminal prosecution, stage managed behind the scenes by the US occupation commanders), followed by the execution of Saddam Hussein (and his close associates). The Iraqi trial was politically circumscribed so as to exclude any evidence bearing on the close and discrediting strategic relationship maintained between the United States and Iraq during the period of Saddam Hussein's most serious instances of criminality (genocidal operations against Kurdish villages), as well as by disallowing any inquiry into American criminality associated with the attack on Iraq and subsequent allegations of criminal wrongdoing in response to Iraqi resistance to military occupation. This American potential criminality was never discussed, much less investigated in a responsible manner.
What converts these separate instances into a pattern is the Eurocentric (or West-centric) selectivity evident in most recent efforts to enforce international criminal law. It should be noted that this selectivity is made more objectionable by the impunity accorded to European, American, and Israeli leaders. Double standards so pervasively evident in this behavior undermine the authority of law, especially in relation to a subject-matter as vital as war and peace. Unless equals are treated equally most of the time, what is called 'law' is more accurately treated as 'geopolitics.'
The geopolitical nature of this approval of arrest warrants just issued by the ICC is unintentionally confirmed when it is acknowledged by NATO officials that it will not be possible to arrest Qaddafi unless in the unlikely event that he is captured by the Rebels. Governmental representatives in Washington admitting this, have declared that the warrants will nevertheless be useful in forthcoming UN debates about Libyan policy, presumably to push aside any objections based on the failure by NATO to limit military operations to the no fly zone initially authorized by the Security Council. It should be remembered that the initial authorization in SC Resolution 1973 was itself weakened by five abstentions, including China and Russia, and further, by South Africa that voted with the majority, while expressing strong objections to the subsequent undertaking. One wonders whether China and Russia would not have used their veto had they anticipated how far beyond what was insisted on limited humanitarian purposes by the proponents of the use of force would the actual operation become. In effect, to overcome any impression of unlawfulness on NATO's part it is useful to demonize the adversary, and an opportune way to reach this goal is to put forward premature accusations of severe criminality.
Of course, as has been pointed out more than once, there was an embedded hypocrisy in the central argument put forward by the states seeking a UN green light to intervene in Libya, which was based on the responsibility to protect norm that supposedly confers a duty on the international community to protect civilian populations that are being subjected to severely abusive behavior. Too obvious contradictions were present. Why not Syria in the current regional setting? And even more starkly, why not Gaza back in 2008-09 when it was being mercilessly attacked by Israel? The answers to such questions are 'blowin' in the wind.'
There are further more technical reasons in the present setting to challenge the timing of the arrest warrants. They seem legally and politically dubious. Legally dubious because the most serious criminality associated with the behavior of the Qaddafi regime during the conflict occurred after the ICC cutoff date of 18 February (e.g. the siege of Misrata). Why other than ulterior motivations was there this rush to prosecute? Politically dubious because there is now a new obstacle to diplomacy in a situation where the alternative seems likely to be a prolonged civil war. Negotiating space for an accommodation is definitely reduced by this implication of Qaddafi's criminality that creates incentives for the Tripoli leadership to fight on as long as possible.
Perhaps, cynics would argue that law always reflects power, and of course they are correct to a certain extent. Progress in human affairs arises from a struggle against such pretensions. And the locus and nature of power is changing in the world: the West is losing its capacity to shape history and high technology warfare, upon which the West depends to enforce its will on the non-West, is losing its capacity to produce political victories (e.g. anti-colonial wars, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan). This politicized use of the ICC in the course of the Libyan War offers an opportunity for those dedicated to global justice, especially in the Arab world, to insist that international law should no longer serve as a plaything for those who intervene with hard power in their region from the comfort zone of NATO headquarters.

The classic drunk has often been a favorite subject in comedy - the staggering, loudmouthed, speechslurring, disoriented, bragging drunk who wakes after a night of revelry asking himself, "Oh my God, what did I say last night! What did I do!!" An excessively high blood alcohol count produces delusional thinking, overestimated abilities, poor reaction time, arrogance, swagger, a sense of invincibility and impaired judgment. I suppose most of us have laughed at one time or another at foolish drunks and maybe we've been among them from time to time, but we’ve also seen their tragic car accidents, loss of careers and jobs, violence, crimes committed and broken lives and families.
Strangely enough, as with the mismanagement of alcohol, some scientists think that men who mismanage their levels of the hormone testosterone can also produce maladaptive behaviors such as aggression, etc. Particularly, young men may ride high T-levels to their own destruction or that of others. Others may react to low T-levels with sometimes bizarre behaviors such as aggression and impaired judgment. Among older men this is known as Aging Male Syndrome (AMS). As the US/French/British/Israeli/NATO war wears on in Libya we may be seeing both, the young bucks riding jets of high T-Levels and the onset of AMS among the aging leaders who suffer from feelings of emasculation. The point of this essay is not to argue the science of T-levels. But should either be true, perhaps NATO, now 62 years old, suffers from AMS, resulting in impaired judgment, massive tragedy and crimes of global proportions.
Dick
The "US/French/British/Israeli/NATO" reference is a bit cumbersome for the writer and reader of this essay. So to facilitate the discussion, we will use a rather common English name for this coalition of the semi-willing. We'll collectively call them "Dick." Now unlike ordinary folks who have only two eyes, Dick is blessed with many eyes. At the onset of the assault on Libya, some of this drunk's eyes glistened with reflections of oil derricks; some of the eyes in Dick's head shone with more land and a coveted, giant aquifier for an expanded Israel; other pupils in his crossed-eyes widened with thoughts of the advent of the apocalypse ushering in the arrival of their Savior to take them all under his protection in the sky while unbelivers descend into a millenium of hell and suffering on planet earth. Still other Dickeyes blicked with uncertainty but agreed to go along with Dick's war when they smarted bitterly with the dust of their failing economies and threats of being excluded from the Big Prize when the war would finally be won.
But the biggest eye of all, located in the middle of Dick's forehead, shone brightly with visions of a Corporate Global Empire (GCE), breaking up OPEC and making one more stride toward 'full spectrum dominance' and control of all global resources. When notified of the plan, the eyes of the GCE's corporate CEOs smiled and spoke confidently with their trustees in board rooms as they thought of end-of-year bonuses and the trustees smiled back, thinking about returns on their investments. Dick was very pleased with himself.
The Little Dicks
It was with all these eyes on the prize that Dick entered the war on Libya bristling with missiles, jet fighters, helicopter gunships and a ragtag, uneducated tribe of angry, disgruntled men that Dick called "the rebels." Reluctantly, but to remain consistent with the casting of this comedy noir, we will call them the "Little Dicks."
Dick convinced his little dicks that they have been disenfranchised, oppressed and that they should be the ones in power in Tripoli. He told them he would give them all the arms they needed to rise up and overthrow their perceived oppressor, the Libyan government. With their own swollen organs and misguided judgement in their ability to run a country, the little dicks fussed with each other who should lead the coup, who would get the best small arms, RPGs, explosives and whatever other weapons Dick would give to them. The rather disorganized little dicks gathered in small groups whispering, "We can do this and maybe we can even do that!" But they worried that the Libyan military might be too strong for them. Dick reassured the little dicks not to worry - that he would provide furious air support and bomb the hell out of any Libyan forces that tried to kill them.
So the war began with Dick and his little dicks against the soverign nation of Libya, their legitimate government, military and the vast majority of the Libyan people. Dick dropped bombs, destroyed infrastructure, killed Libyan soldiers, civilian men, women and children and even accidentally killed a few little dicks who were in the wrong place in the wrong time. The little dicks used their gifts from Dick to attack and destroy government buildings, Libyan police stations, capture a few Libyan tanks and arms, kill Libyan soldiers and torture those whom they captured. Months before OPEC's June 8 meeting in Vienna, Dick helped the little dicks organize a provisional government in Benghazi which they named, "The National Transitional Council of the Libyan Republic." The NTCLR was to become the only legitimate Libyan government and the political face of the little dicks. They proudly announced that they would represent Libya at the OPEC meeting but they were sadly disappointed when OPEC refused to recognize them and hosted the Libyan government's legal representative whom they know so well.
Since then, the little dicks have been licking their wounds, burying their dead and accusing Dick of breaking his promises to them. Dick's multiple eyes on the other hand are glaring at each other and some have closed altogether. One of his members accuses the other and some are heading home, wimpering with tails between legs, glancing back over their shoulder and snarling at Dick. Dick has become smaller and a little more limp while accusing his traitors' personalities of cowardice and impotence.
Like the drunk, Dick and his little dicks are now turning over in their shared bed, rousing from their slumber, hung over, disoriented, wondering where the hell they parked their cars and experiencing a massive, collective headache. Big Dick also appears to be waking to a multiple personality disorder, with their various identities accusing one another of not doing enough, not sticking together, not dropping enough bombs and not paying their fair share in their ambitious enterprise.
Dick's Schizoid Personality
So poor Dick also seems to be suffering from a form of multiple personalities in conflict with one another. The fault lines run in economic and pragmatic patterns but not along lines of conscience. Conscience is a lost trait among psychotics.
Of Dick's 28 NATO countries, only 8 initially agreed to participate in the war: the United States, France, Britain, Italy, Canada, Netherlands, Spain and Turkey. Ok, there were a few other minor league players like Norway that got wrangled from the farm teams but these were the primary belligerants. When Dick first entered Libya's bedroom, the U.S. suppport for all of the NATO expenditure was 75 percent. In June, Dick's head spokesman and US War Secretary, Robert Gates complained specifically about the Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, Germany and Poland as "big NATO countries that are not doing their share." He whined about NATO not sharing its burden of the costs and military. Hillary Clinton, who arguably has no testosterone, echoed Gate's complaint from the U.S. State Department.
When some of Dick's disparate personalities wimpered that things weren't going well, they treatened to withdraw from the war on Libya. NATO's Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen dutifully followed Gates, lock-step, warning that Dick would not be able to complete the gang rape of Libya unless NATO invested more in military spending and patching together their fractured alliance, chinning up with greater political will. Dick's fissures began to open.
Germany
Surprising some and angering others, one of Dick's personalities strongly opposed the war on Libya from the very beginning. They abstained from voting in favor of UNSC's Resolution 1973 on Libya. On June 23, Germany abstained in the UN security council vote authorising the air strikes and ignored criticism from other Dick members, the U.S., the U.K. and France. Thomas de Maiziere, the German defence minister, then said Berlin had decided not to get involved and"That's the way it will stay."
On March 23, a German military spokesman said it was even recalling two frigates and AWACS surveillance plane crews from the Mediterranean, fearing they would be drawn into the assault if NATO takes over control from the U.S.
German government consultant and political analyst, Christoph Horste explained:
“At first hand our ministries told the foreign affairs minister ‘Don’t go to Libya. It is a very bad conflict. It was started by the CIA, and it is a dirty business. Don’t go there!’ So this is why he voted with Russia and China. Now the backlash from Washington is so tough that obviously we are under pressure to do something to make up for this decision. In fact, what we see here is that deliberately the country is being destroyed, which is by far transgressing the decision by the Security Council and that is a very bad story right now.”
It was then, after over 100 days of aerial attacks and with more than 2,000 of Dick's bombs dropped, the gang rape ran into an unexpected problem: a lack of munitions to drop on Libyans. So on July 5, under enormous pressure from Dick and with the reflection of the sweet euro symbol in their eyes, Germany agreed to stroke Dick with an agreement to supply munitions for his airstrikes in Libya. As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is supply and where there is desire, there is pleasure.
The United Kingdom
At the onset, the perpetrators of Dick's war against the Libyan people were France, England and the U.S. In March, Chancellor George Osborne told the people of the UK that it would cost tens of millions of pounds. Now the cost of the war has grown to hundreds of millions of pounds. The UK economy is already in bad shape and these costs are increasing rapidly on a daily basis. When asked if the UK can afford to continue in the war, Jim Bran (Stop the War Coalition in London) recently told Press TV:
"I think in a sense you could say they can afford it because it comes out of something called a contingency reserve. But clearly there's a problem that they really don't know where it's going to end - they have no idea. Every calculation back in March has gone out the window. It was supposed to be a quick war. It was supposed to be tens of millions as you've mentioned and a number of days. I think they thought they could dive in and do kind of an armed coup within about a week and that's all gone wrong; its' all up in the air."
Of course Bran's reference to money coming from the UK's "contingency reserve" war chest ignores the massive debt in EU countries like Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Italy which in our view could easily trigger a domino collapse of the EU and the euro having devastating effects on the UK and the U.S.
France
On March 19, according to Press TV Dick's French president Nicolas Sarkozy proudly reported that "Paris will lead an attack on Libyan territories in a bid to protect the civilian population and preserve human consciousness." On the same day, the peaceful war advocate, NPR reported,
"France was one of the most strident countries against the invasion of Iraq so it's unusual to see that country taking the lead in the strike against Libya, according to NPR's Eleanor Beardsley. Still, the French seem to be proud of how diplomatically Nicholas Sarkozy has handled the effort. The French president has said that, there are some risks, but they are calculated and there is great moral authority to go in and protect people.
The plan congealed on March 19, when Dick met in Paris and ordered the bombing of Libya "to end the assaults on civilians launched by Libyan ruler Muammar Gaddafi's forces."Representatives of the United States, Britain, France, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar attended the meeting.
On March 25, Sarkozy declared, "France will lead the attack on Gaddafi!”
Stone Pinkerton writing for the 21st Century Wire accused Sarkozy of suffering from a Napoleon Complex, standing only 5 feet 5 inches tall while shaking hands with England's 6 foot David Cameron to their Libyan invasion agreement.
So "Odyssey Dawn: The military operation" (c'mon, doncha love it?) began. Eight French Rafale and four Mirage jets were first launched against Libya in the aerial attack, 20 in all before the day was over. The French Rafale jets were credited with the honor of being the first to bomb Libya, evoking images of Sarkozy fondling those missiles before they took off from their base at Saint-Dizier in eastern France.
On June 19 a French bombing killed nine civilians including 2 toddlers and seriously injuring dozens of others in the Arada neighbourhood of Tripoli. A day before, the Libyan government accused NATO of specifically targeting civilians. According to French and English news reports, Dick said he was investigating the killings and was "very sorry" about them.
"Norway, whose small air force has carried out a disproportionate 10% of the strikes with six fighter planes, last month became the first country to set an end date to its role. The government has been facing calls for withdrawal from its leftist coalition partners. Norway's Defense Ministry said it planned to reduce its contribution to four fighters and to withdraw entirely by Aug. 1."
Denmark
As early as March 30, 2011, the Red-Green Alliance of Denmark stated that the war on Libya was no longer just about achieving a ceasefire between the Libyan government and the little dicks for protection of civilians. They determined that instead, it is about participating in a civil war, something they would not support. Frank Aaen, the alliance's defence policy spokesperson covered Denmark's behind stating,
"The direction that the action has taken is in clear opposition to the UN resolution, and there has been no serious attempts to establish a ceasefire ... Since last Friday they had succeeded in stopping the attacks from Gadaffi on the civilian population. It was a correct decision to stop his attack, and we are pleased to have been part of it ... But lately the operation has changed its character, so now we are involved in a civil war. The last couple of days the rebels had received air support to help them push forward, and even though we feel a great sympathy with the rebels, it is not the task of the military action to support one of the parties in a civil war."
U.S. officials accused Denmark and Norway for “punching above their weight,” (read 'for not being real men.')
The Netherlands
NATO's fractures continued as the Netherlands broke rank early this month with Defense Minister Hans Hillen complaining of "mission creep", suggesting that the leading countries in the war were deluded in believing they could crush Qadaffi and his forces. Hillen told reporters in Brussels,
"People who thought that merely by throwing some bombs it would not only help the people, but also convince Kadafi that he could step down or alter his policy were a little bit naive."
The United States
Meanwhile, the Republicans in Washington continued their objections to the war. Now the Republicans are well-known for their collective warmongering personality. Their objections are motivated strictly by their aspirations to replace Obama and the Democrats with their own in the next national elections. We only have to see their support for the wars under George W. Bush in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and by their Israeli proxy in Palestine. They've continued their attack on the Obama regime declaring that Obama did not seek approval from the U.S. Congress for the attacks on Libya, something Bush did before attacking the aforenamed countries when the Republicans gleefully approved the bloodletting.
Italy
On July 6, Italy further softened Dick with its withdrawal of the Garibaldi. The Garibalidi is their aircraft carrier in service to Dick. For a real man like Berlusconi, well known for his virility, this must come with great humiliation and loss of self confidence in Dick's bed. But never to admit weakness in this area, Italy quickly explained that their weakening support for the war was due to their dismay at the humanitarian disaster and civilians killed by Dick's bombs. Nearly a month ago, Italy called for a suspension of hostilities in Libya among NATO's 'coalition of the unwilling' as more and more civilians were being killed by NATO airstrikes and as the Libyan government and military defended their country with a force that surprised Dick with his pants around his ankles. On June 22, 2011, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini told a parliamentary committee meeting:
"We have seen the effects of the crisis and therefore also of NATO action not only in eastern and southwestern regions but also in Tripoli. I believe an immediate humanitarian suspension of hostilities is required in order to create effective humanitarian corridors."
Frattini recommended that negotiations should continue on a more formal ceasefire and peace talks stating,
"I think this is the most urgent and dramatic point ... I think it is legitimate to request ever more detailed information on the results", and he condemned "the dramatic errors that hit civilians, which is clearly not an objective of the NATO mission."
Reporting on the same June 22 parliamentary meeting, AFP reported Italy breaks ranks over NATO's Libya mission:
"Italy called for a suspension of hostilities in Libya on Wednesday in the latest sign of dissent within NATO as the civilian death toll mounts and Moamer Kadhafi shows no signs of quitting power."
Frattini told the committee:
"I believe an immediate humanitarian suspension of hostilities is required in order to create effective humanitarian corridors," while negotiations should also continue on a more formal ceasefire and peace talks.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy, the first belligerent to follow US/Israeli urging the attack on Libya, quickly reacted to Italy's discord ruling out any pause in the Libya campaign. French foreign ministry spokesman Bernard Valero told the corporate media:
"The coalition and the countries that met as the Abu Dhabi contact group two weeks ago were unanimous on the strategy: we must intensify the pressure on Kadhafi. Any pause in operations would risk allowing him to play for time and to reorganise. In the end, it would be the civilian population that would suffer from the smallest sign of weakness on our behalf."
On July 6, Italy followed through with it's threat by announcing the withdrawal of its aircraft carrier, the Garibaldi from Libya which in reality was due to two factors:
the burden it's aircraft carrier in Libya places on its failing economy. Withdrawal of the Garibaldi will relieve Italy of 80 million euros ($114 million) in financial emissions.
the fact that the legitimate Libyan government and military has been successfully repelling Dick's attacks and the Italians are running scared.
However, Italy did admit that they didn't have the juice for Dick's demands, but said they would offer him a partial dose of Viagra. Italian Minister Ignazio La Russa explains:
"We have cut back costs in Libya, from 142 million euros forecast in the first half of the year to less than 60 million for the second half." He indicated that the Italian plan is to pull the Garibaldi, it's three fighter jets and 1,000 personnel out of the mission because they were "no longer necessary."
But he offered Dick a little something saying that the Garibaldi would be replaced by a smaller boat and other planes from military bases would be used.
As the late Rollo May, philosopher/psychologist extraordinaire, once wrote, people and nations locate their own sins outside of themselves and then set about to expiate their sins by attacking and killing the ones upon whom they've projected their own evil. We saw a lot of this action during the Cold War with the Soviets and now with Arabs and Muslims. Dick's psychosis is now well advanced and his delusions are becoming super-real. He is not unlike the serial killers who self righteously murder prostitutes to destroy their own darkness (Ironically, serial killers have been studied a lot in Dickland.) In time, killers suffering from paranoid schizophrenia become increasingly frenzied by their own impotence and bloodlust. They break their patterns that worked so well for them with earlier victims and they begin to make mistakes. Likewise, Dick's rage is gaining intensity with his fear of impotence as his Libyan rampage seeks to destroy all that he cannot have. His mask of protecting civilians has been removed, revealing his real identity, rapidly bringing nearer the day of his reckoning.
Ex-Blackwater guard sentenced to 37 months for Afghan’s death. Grey Mailing and Judge Shopping

Blackwater employees, Christopher Drotleff and Justin Cannon murdered two unarmed Afghan people and wounded a third in 2009. They were tried for the killings in 2010 and half of the stacked jury (see the Wayne Madson video below) acquitted them of all charges and the other half disagreed and voted for conviction - a hung jury. Prosecutors tried them again and Drotleff was found guilty of a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter and has been sentenced to 3 years in prison. Cannon is to be sentenced in July in what amounts to another coverup trial. They shot and killed a passenger of a car involved in an accident of one of their own SUV - and a pedestrian who was out walking his dog with a friend. Websites like The Ranger Defense Fund were created to collect money for Drotleff and Cannon and to conjure up popular sympathy for these mercenaries and their families. "The Virginia Pilot ", a U.S. government mouthpiece wrote:
"Family members were clearly upset by the decision. Drotleff's wife, who sat through every day of the trial, left the courthouse in tears. Cannon's father, also there every day, declined to comment.
The authors obviously have no sympathy for the murdered Afghans and their shattered families.
Christopher Drotleff
Justin Russell Cannon
The prosecutors alleged, "the shootings on May 5, 2009, were fueled by alcohol and anger. The case against Drotleff and Cannon only worsened afterward when they tried to cover up the crime." Witnesses said the two mercenaries had been drinking alcohol throughout the day before they opened fire on the unarmed civilians. Other media friendly to these two killers claimed they are "sacrificial lambs" hung out to dry by their employer - the U.S. government. We say yes - sacrificial lambs drunk on booze and bloodlust, armed to the teeth and trained to kill. But we have no argument with their claim that they are being sacrificed in faux courts to give the impression that their killings are any worse than the murders of millions by the U.S. government Afghanistan and Iraq, many never identified and buried in mass graves.
Blackwater mercenary killer, Christopher Drotleff, sentenced to 3 years and 1 month on a reduced charge of involuntary manslaughter.
Blackwater mercenary killer, Justin Russell Cannon to be sentenced on the same conviction on July 27, 2011.
RT News interviewed investigative journalist, Wayne Madsen who provides details of how Blackwater protects their own by "grey mailing" and how the CIA protects Blackwater killers, including Drotleff and Cannon by "jury shopping" and "judge shopping" to obtain the results they want.
In the video above, Wayne Madsen says U.S. District Court Judges T.S. Ellis and Ricardo Urbina "have long-standing relationships with the CIA and this is known as 'judge shopping'." Other judges in the system indirectly channel government-sensitive cases to these two men.
Judge T.S. Ellis III presiding over the Blackwater case in US District Court in Alexandria, VA, "A favorite court of the CIA with their 'rocket docket'."
Judge Ricardo Urbina who dismissed charges against the 4 Blackwater killers in Iraq in U.S. District Court in Washington D.C.
We pray that some day those ultimately responsible for these two murders will be arrested, prosecuted and imprisoned - the Neocons and Neolibs, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Pentagon, CIA, owners of private corporations like Blackwater and two U.S. Presidents, George Walker Bush and Barack Obama - will one day be tried for an illegal invasion and occupation, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Think this is can never happen? Prior to September 11, 2011 none of us thought possible what we have seen happen in the world over the last ten years. Therefore, we cannot predict what will happen in the future. You personally may think that you are insignificant and helpless to do anything. Everyone can think creatively and do something no matter how big or small. We must do what each of us can to add our own brick in the wall to see that justice will be done, from Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan to Palestine, Libya and other countries where the U.S., NATO, Israel and the international banking cartel press on to advance their terrorist war on "terrorism."

Ex-Blackwater guard sentenced to 37 months for Afghan’s death By Agence France-Presse
WASHINGTON — A former Blackwater security guard was sentenced to three years and one month in prison Tuesday for involuntary manslaughter in a Kabul shooting in 2009, the US Justice Department announced.
Christopher Drotleff, 31, and Justin Cannon, 29, another former Blackwater employee, were convicted in March of involuntary manslaughter of Romal Mohammad Naiem, an unarmed Afghan civilian. Cannon will be sentenced on June 27.
Both men fired several multiple shots at a passing car after the lead vehicle in their convoy crashed in the middle of the night and overturned on its side.
Naiem, the passenger in the car, was fatally shot, and his driver injured. Another Afghan man walking his dog in the area was also fatally shot, although both men were acquitted of charges in his death and the shooting of the driver.
Both Drotleff and Cannon said they had legitimate concerns for their safety, and had pleaded not guilty.
"Christopher Drotleff recklessly fired his nine millimeter pistol at unarmed Afghan civilians, killing two people and shattering the lives of many more," said US Attorney Neil MacBride in a statement.
According to the statement, both Drotleff and Cannon left their military base on May 5, 2009 to transport local translators when the accident took place.
Blackwater was renamed Xe after it was caught up in several scandals in Iraq, in particular the deaths of between 14 and 17 civilians in Baghdad in September 2007.
Ozymandias 3 years & 1 month ?? Come on... this is ridiculous ! Thousands of people are jailed for a longer time every year Because a few MJ plants in their backyard or cupboard and these guys get just 3 years for killing innocent people ? Oh wait, my mistake, for killing "Afghans", not people...
the.official black.widow I say lets call these guys what they really are. COWARDS. Only a coward shoots an unarmed person or animal for that matter. But I guess if you are an American you can shoot people dead in other countries and it will not be treated like a murder case and people will say you are a mercenary. CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE WHEN THEY COMMIT ACTS OF COWARDICE..AND SEE IF THE CIA JUMPS TO HELP THEM THEN.
Ex-Blackwater guard sentenced to 37 months for Afghan’s death By Agence France-Presse
WASHINGTON — A former Blackwater security guard was sentenced to three years and one month in prison Tuesday for involuntary manslaughter in a Kabul shooting in 2009, the US Justice Department announced.
Christopher Drotleff, 31, and Justin Cannon, 29, another former Blackwater employee, were convicted in March of involuntary manslaughter of Romal Mohammad Naiem, an unarmed Afghan civilian. Cannon will be sentenced on June 27.
Both men fired several multiple shots at a passing car after the lead vehicle in their convoy crashed in the middle of the night and overturned on its side.
Naiem, the passenger in the car, was fatally shot, and his driver injured. Another Afghan man walking his dog in the area was also fatally shot, although both men were acquitted of charges in his death and the shooting of the driver.
Both Drotleff and Cannon said they had legitimate concerns for their safety, and had pleaded not guilty.
"Christopher Drotleff recklessly fired his nine millimeter pistol at unarmed Afghan civilians, killing two people and shattering the lives of many more," said US Attorney Neil MacBride in a statement.
According to the statement, both Drotleff and Cannon left their military base on May 5, 2009 to transport local translators when the accident took place.
Blackwater was renamed Xe after it was caught up in several scandals in Iraq, in particular the deaths of between 14 and 17 civilians in Baghdad in September 2007.

Answer: The London Metropolitan Police?
Who is in charge of the investigation of the murder of Sean Hoare?
Answer: The London Metropolitan Police?
Who is mostly to blame in the Murdoch-News of the world phone hacking, blinging, police bribery etc scandal?
Answer: The London Metropolitan Police?
How many London Met Police Officers have been charged for bribery and the illegal use of police information and resources?
Answer: None
Who do the London Met Police think that the public going to point the finger at for the murder of Sean Hoare?
Answer? The Murdoch Gang
What were the new serious statements that Sean Hoare were making to New York Times Reporters in recent days that would want some one or some group to murder Sean Hoaare in a rather hurry before he was called to the Parliamentary Select Committee on the 19th July, 2011 that would have blow the lid of this affair right open?
Answer: The London Metropolitan Police involvement with the news staff at the News of the World in using police sources and technology to find where someone was buy using police computers and other police technology to locate a person's whereabouts by through their mobile phone for a fee of £300 a time. Sean Hoare was starting to make statements to international reporters about the endemic practice and involvement of the London Met Police in this practice known as blinging in the news trade. Yes the London Met Police had to immediately silence Sean Hoare and make sure he could not attend the Parliamentary Select Committee on the 19th July, 2011 to give evidence for the whole world to see on line about his knowledge of this practice of blinging that members of the London Metropolitan Police had been doing for years for a fee of £300 a time. There is no doubt that the most senior members of the London Metropolitan Police including the one that has just resigned Sir Paul Stephenson, simply had to call in a favour of MI5 and M16 to have Sean Hoare quietly murdered using a new drug they have that can cause a heart attack and can not be detected after death in the body and can be placed in a glass of water without the person drinking it being able to detect that it has been put into the water as it has no taste and no colour. This is what was used to murder the famous millionaire businessman Laurie Connel on Western Australia when he threatened to expose many of the most powerful people in Australian politics and business circles if he went to jail over fraud charges he was defending in court at the time of his death when he collapsed during his trial where he was defending himself because he realised all his lawyers were corrupt and could not be trusted and decided the only way to try and obtain a fair hearing was to represent himself and expose all the powerful people he was the Bag Man for all their millions in cash money transactions for many years in Australia. Those that Laurie Connel could expose, just like the London Metropolitan Police could not allow Sean Hoare to be alive on the morning of the 19th July, 2011 to give evidence to the Parliamentary Select Committee on the 19th July, 2011, simply could not allow Laurie Connel ( known as the Lender of the Last Resort) to live and tell his story...to the court and expose all those powerful people...
20th July 2011
Sean Hoare looks likely to take his place behind Princess Diana and David Kelly in the roll call of controversial deaths. Within hours of reports of his untimely demise, conspiracy theorists were questioning whether he had been murdered.
"Another murder cover-up?" asked one online. Another wrote: "Nothing that the British police can say will convince me that Sean Hoare's death was natural causes."
The decision of many newspapers, but not The Independent, to splash on the sensational death of the "phone-hacking whistleblower" posed the question in some readers' minds: was this man killed by the Murdoch empire? The answer is – unexcitedly but almost certainly – "no".
True, we do not yet have all the facts, but there are many reasons why Mr Hoare's death presents no more of a conspiracy than the failure of Princess Diana to fasten her seatbelt while being driven through the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris in 1997.
Firstly, Mr Hoare was not in possession of unique information about the wrongdoing at the News of the World, nor was he the only one to point the finger at Andy Coulson, its former editor. During its excellent investigation into the "hack attack" last year, The New York Times spoke to 12 current or former NOTW staff, who said hacking was rife.
Secondly, the new inquiry into phone hacking, Operation Weeting, was always unlikely to base its case on the testimony of one ex-employee. While statements may form part of its case, a much bigger part will rely on emails discovered or forensically recovered from News International's digital archive, electronic payment invoices and phone records.
Even if Weeting were to make personal testimony central, it was unlikely to have been Mr Hoare's, since he had been dismissed from the NOTW for drink and drug problems and could be portrayed as an unreliable witness.
Thirdly, the (unspoken but tangible) suggestion that News International might want to send death squads scuttling round Britain to silence witnesses is absurd, and especially so given the trouble it already faces.
Notwithstanding its dark arts, deceit and links to criminals, NI's new strategy is PR-led; it wants to now co-operate with the police and apologise for the mess.
Fourthly, Mr Hoare's death is not being investigated by the Metropolitan Police but by the Hertfordshire force, whose statement that the death was not thought to be suspicious was probably a disappointment to Hertfordshire's best detectives, who may have been only too keen to get one over on their big city colleagues.
Finally, Mr Hoare was not in good health. He was reported to be looking yellow and his doctor had remarked that he should have been dead.
And this is where Mr Hoare almost certainly was a "victim" of News International. He was told to do whatever it took to get the story; he went on marathon benders and snorted coke with rock stars. He had some great times as a show business journalist. But he decided to tell the truth about the illegal methods used to land stories. In that he was brave, and that is what he should be remembered for, not the manner of his passing.

THE Met Police’s communications boss yesterday admitted 10 out of 45 press office staff used to work at the News of the World.
Dick Fedorcio also told the Select Committee he never asked former NoW deputy editor Neil Wallis about phone hacking before taking him on as a consultant. He instead claimed assistant commissioner John Yates, a friend of Mr Wallis, undertook a process of due diligence in vetting him.
But when quizzed by MPs, Mr Yates said this was “over-egging the pudding” and the tendering process was ultimately down to Mr Fedorcio. Asked if he would have appointed Mr Wallis in hindsight, Mr Fedorcio said: “Certainly not”, adding he could not remember who suggested Mr Wallis for the job but denied it was then-News International chief Rebekah Brooks.
Mr Fedorcio also said he was “dismayed” at reports he favoured the NoW when placing stories, even though almost a quarter of his staff were ex-employees. The Met has referred his dealings with Mr Wallis to the Independent Police Complaints Commission.
Meanwhile, former Met chief Sir Paul Stephenson yesterday said he resigned to prevent continuing damaging speculation over his role in the scandal in the run-up to the London Olympics.

Sean Hoare, the former News of the World showbusiness reporter who was the first named journalist to allege that Andy Coulson was aware of phone hacking by his staff, has been found dead .
Hoare, who worked on the Sun and the News of the World with Coulson before being dismissed for drink and drugs problems, was said to have been found at his Watford home.
Hertfordshire police would not confirm his identity, but said in a statement: "At 10.40am today [Monday 18 July] police were called to Langley Road, Watford, following the concerns for the welfare of a man who lives at an address on the street. Upon police and ambulance arrival at a property, the body of a man was found. The man was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after.
"The death is currently being treated as unexplained but not thought to be suspicious. Police investigations into this incident are ongoing."
There was an unexplained delay in the arrival of forensics officers at the scene.
Neighbours said three police cars and two ambulances arrived at the property shortly before 11am. They left around four hours later, around 3pm, shortly after a man and a woman, believed to be grieving relatives, arrived at the premises. There was no police presence at the scene at all for several hours.
The curtains were drawn at the first-floor apartment in a new-build block of flats.
At about 9.15pm, three hours after the Guardian revealed Hoare had been found dead a police van marked "Scientific Services Unit" pulled up at the address, where a police car was already parked. Two officers emerged carrying evidence bags, clipboards, torches and laptop-style bags and entered the building. Three officers carrying cameras and wearing white forensic suits went into the flat at around 9.30pm.
Hoare was in his mid-40s. He first made his claims in a New York Times investigation into the phone-hacking allegations at the News of the World. He told the newspaper that not only did Coulson know of the hacking, but he also actively encouraged his staff to intercept the calls of celebrities in the pursuit of exclusives.
In a subsequent interview with the BBC he alleged he was personally asked by his editor at the time, Coulson, to tap into phones. In an interview with the PM programme he said Coulson's insistence he did not know of the practice was "a lie, it is simply a lie". At the time a Downing Street spokeswoman said Coulson totally and utterly denied the allegations; he had "never condoned the use of phone hacking and nor do I have any recollection of incidences where hacking took place".
Hoare said he was once a close friend of Coulson's, and told the New York Times the two first worked together at the Sun, where, Hoare said, he played recordings of hacked messages for Coulson. At the News of the World, Hoare said, he continued to inform Coulson of his activities. He "actively encouraged me to do it", Hoare said. In September last year he was interviewed under caution by police over his claim the former Tory communications chief asked him to hack into phones when editor of the paper, but declined to make any comment.
Hoare returned to the spotlight last week, after he told the New York Times that reporters at the NoW were able to use police technology to locate people using their mobile phone signals, in exchange for payments to police officers. He said journalists were able to use "pinging", which measured the distance between a mobile handset and a number of phone masts to pinpoint its location.
Hoare gave further details about "pinging" to the Guardian last week. He described how reporters would ask a news desk executive to obtain the location of a target: "Within 15 to 30 minutes someone on the news desk would come back and say 'Right, that's where they are.'"
He said: "You'd just go to the news desk and they'd come back to you. You don't ask any questions. You'd consider it a job done.
"The chain of command is one of absolute discipline, and that's why I never bought into it, like with Andy saying he wasn't aware of it and all that. That's bollocks."
He said he stood by everything he told the New York Times of "pinging". "I don't know how often it happened. That would be wrong of me. But if I had access, as a humble reporter … "
He admitted he had had problems with drink and drugs, and had been in rehab. "But that's irrelevant," he said. "There's more to come. This is not going to go away."
Hoare named a private investigator who he said had links with the News of the World, adding: "He may want to talk now, because I think what you'll find now is a lot of people are going to want to cover their arse." Speaking to another Guardian journalist last week, Hoare repeatedly expressed the hope that the hacking scandal would lead to journalism in general being cleaned up, and said he had decided to blow the whistle on the activities of some of his former NoW colleagues with that aim in mind.
He also said he had been injured the previous weekend while taking down a marquee erected for a children's party. He said he broke his nose and badly injured his foot when a relative accidentally struck him with a pole from the marquee. Hoare also emphasised that he was not making any money from telling his story.
Having been treated for drug and alcohol problems, Hoare reminisced about his partying with former pop stars and said that he missed the days when he was able to go out on the town.
On Monday evening the curtains were drawn at his home, a first-floor apartment in a new-build block of flats.
A neighbour living opposite, Nicky Dormer, said three police cars and two ambulances arrived at the property at 11am; police left at 3pm, shortly after a man and a woman, believed to be grieving relatives, arrived at the premises.
She and another neighbour described Hoare as a jovial man who would often sit on his balcony, overlooking the block entrance, and talk to residents. They said he lived in the block with his partner, a woman called Jo, who they believed had been away on holiday. Neither had seen Hoare for a few days.
Paul Pritchard, 30, another neighbour, said Sean Hoare was "the most sociable" resident, and they would regularly see him watering the communal front lawn.
"It is just such a shock. About a month ago he said he felt unwell and he said he went to the doctors for a checkup. Then I saw him again and he seemed well."

A postmortem on the body of Sean Hoare, the News of the Worldwhistleblower found dead on Monday, is expected to provide a preliminary cause of death.
Police are treating the death of Hoare, 47, as "unexplained but not thought to be suspicious". Hoare was the first named journalist to allege that Andy Coulson, the former News of the World editor, was aware of phone hacking by his staff.
Hoare worked for the Sun and NoW with Coulson before being dismissed for drink and drugs problems, and had spoken openly to a number of news organisations about the practice of phone hacking.
Detectives from Hertfordshire police's major crimes unit are running the investigation because of the high profile of Hoare's death.
They are understood to be awaiting the outcome of the postmortem, due to begin at 2pm on Tuesday, while seeking to establish the last time he was seen alive.
The force said in a statement: "Police investigations continue into the unexplained death of a man who, whilst formal identification is yet to take place, police believe to be Sean Hoare. The postmortem is set to take place today [Tuesday]. The man's next of kin have been informed and the family are being supported by police at this sad time."
The former tabloid journalist is understood to have lived at the first floor flat in Watford with his partner, Jo. Hoare's body was found in the flat at 10.40am on Monday. Neighbours described seeing police and ambulance at the scene until about 3pm.
It was not until after 9pm, two hours after news broke that the phone-hacking whistleblower had been found dead, that more uniformed and plainclothes police arrived at the scene. At about 9.15pm, a police van marked Scientific Services Unit pulled up at the address, where a police car was already parked.
Two officers emerged carrying evidence bags, clipboards, torches and laptop-style bags and entered the building. Three officers carrying cameras and in white forensic suits followed at 9.30pm.
Police sources said that it was "not unusual" for a forensics team to investigate the scene of an unexplained death. The former showbusiness reporter struggled with drug and alcohol problems, and is known to have been unwell in recent weeks.
Hoare returned to the spotlight last Tuesday, after he told the New York Times that reporters at the NoW were able to use police technology to locate people using their mobile phone signals, in exchange for payments to police officers. He said journalists were able to purchase the mobile phone tracking data from police for just £300.
That evening he had dinner with two New York Times journalist involved in the story, Don Van Natta Jr and Jo Becker. Van Natta Jr tweeted on Monday night: "RIP Sean Hoare. Jo Becker and I had dinner with him last Tues night. He was ailing but defiant and funny. And no regrets. All-courage."
Hoare gave further details about so-called "pinging" to Guardian journalists on Tuesday and Wednesday. He described how reporters would ask a newsdesk executive to obtain the location of a target. He said: "Within 15 to 30 minutes someone on the newsdesk would come back and say 'Right, that's where they are.' "
He added: "You'd just go to the newsdesk and they'd come back to you. You don't ask any questions. You'd consider it a job done."
Hoare repeatedly expressed the hope that the hacking scandal would lead to journalism in general being cleaned up, and said he had decided to blow the whistle on the activities of some of his former NoW colleagues with that aim in mind.
Repeated calls to Hoare's home telephone number on Thursday and Friday went unanswered.

Former colleagues have been paying tribute to Sean Hoare, the formerNews of the World entertainment correspondent who was found dead at his Watford home on Monday.
David Yelland, who edited the Sun from 1998 to 2003, used Twitter to say: "Sean Hoare was trying to be honest, struggling with addiction. But he was a good man. My God."
Ben Proctor, who worked with Hoare over many years and was most recently deputy editor of the People, recalled him fondly as "an old fashioned Fleet Street character".
"Typically with Sean he managed to became close to Liam Gallagher. Liam even helped Sean's fledgling freelance career when the News of the World cut him adrift, offering to assist him with background info on a book about Oasis," he said.
Proctor told the Guardian that Hoare was "imbued with an incredible earthy charm", as well as being a great reporter.
"Like a cross between Arthur Daley and Del Trotter, you could always rely on Sean to persuade people to part with the facts."
Hoare, said Proctor, was a journalist of traditional vintage: "An old fashioned Fleet Street character, always in the pub but always with a story."
Though the most of the tributes were warm, Proctor portrayed a man with some hard edges:
"When I first met him he offered to break my knee caps over some 'creative differences'. But another time, when word went round I had a problem, he was first to my home to lend support. I always loved him, everybody did."
Others who worked alongside Hoare recounted fond memories from when they were young and green.
They included the Guardian's columnist Marina Hyde, who worked as a secretary at the Sun, and wrote on Twitter: "Utterly tragic news about my friend Sean Hoare, the first journalist to speak to me when I started as a secretary ... He continued to be kind to me until the very end, and he was more special than I can possibly say."
Simon Ricketts, a Guardian journalist, recalled on Twitter that Hoare was "a lovely generous man" who took him under his wing as a work experience reporter on a local paper: "He handed me a story on a plate. I went out to investigate, got all my notes and got back to the office and started to write it."
"I finished and Sean had a look. He got my notebook, extracted the best quotes, the one's I'd left in the notebook. He tickled, edited and expanded my story.
"By the time he'd finished, it was 100 times better. It got put on the front page of the paper. Sean insisted that my name go on the story. When the paper came out, he walked over with a copy. He gave me it with a flourish. "Congratulations on your first-ever splash," he said."
Ricketts concludes, "I shall raise a glass or 12 tonight to him."

A journalist arrested by police investigating phone hacking at the News of the World faces no further action, her lawyer said on Monday.
Laura Elston, 34, who works for the Press Association news agency, was held for several hours on 27 June when she voluntarily went to a central London police station.
Her solicitor, David Corker, said he had been told she faced no further action: "She has been dropped from the inquiry."
Scotland Yard confirmed a 34-year-old arrested in June had had her bail cancelled and been told she faced no further action.
Elston had been questioned on suspicion of intercepting communications, contrary to section 1 of the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, and was the only journalist arrested so far with no known News International links.
Elston works as a royal correspondent and was originally released on police bail until October. She joined the organisation as a graduate trainee in 2000.
PA editor Jonathan Grun said: "Laura Elston is a journalist of integrity who has had a distinguished career since joining us as a trainee more than a decade ago. We are pleased that this matter has been cleared up."
She was interviewed by detectives on Operation Weeting, the investigation launched by the Metropolitan police in January following new allegations of phone hacking.
According to the Sunday Mirror, Elston was arrested on suspicion of hacking the voicemails of Prince Charles's spokesman Paddy Harverson.
The allegation related to Elston's phone being used to call Harverson when they were both in Lesotho in 2006.
The paper said it understood Harverson told police he borrowed her phone to access voicemails because his own mobile was not working.
Clarence House was reportedly satisfied Elston did nothing criminal and told detectives she was innocent.
Clarence House, the official residence of the Prince of Wales, declined to comment on the claim on Monday.
Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre said he received reports that News International executives had encouraged celebrities to investigate whether their phones had been hacked by Mail newspapers. Photograph: Ben Birchall/PA
Paul Dacre, editor of the Daily Mail, told senior managers he had received reports from PR agencies, footballers and others that News International executives had encouraged them to investigate whether their phones had been hacked by Mail group newspapers, according to the New York Times.
Based on interviews said to have been carried out with former News International staff, the New York Times also claimed Rebekah Brooks had spearheaded a strategy in recent months that appeared designed to spread the blame for hacking across Fleet Street. Several former NoW journalists claimed she asked them to dig up evidence of hacking by others, while one said Brooks's target was not her own newspapers, but those of her rivals.
In an account relayed to his management team, Dacre confronted Brooks at a hotel, telling her: "You are trying to tear down the entire industry."
Lady Claudia Rothermere, wife of the owner of the Mail, was also said to have overheard Brooks say at a dinner party that the Mail was just as culpable as the NoW.
"We didn't break the law," Lady Rothermere said, according to two sources who spoke to the New York Times. Brooks was said to have asked who Rothermere thought she was – "Mother Teresa?"
By the middle of last year, News International's lawyers and some executives were also said to have been urging that the company accept some responsibility – but Brooks disagreed. "Her behaviour all along has been resist, resist, resist," one company official was reported to have said. The US newspaper reported that Rupert Murdoch wanted to "fly commercial to London," so that he might be seen as a man of the people as he prepared to leave a conference in Idaho and come to the UK to take charge of the crisis enveloping his media empire.
He was said to have been told that would hardly do the trick, and Murdoch instead arrived in the UK on a Gulfstream G550 private jet.
Former company executives and political aides also told the New York Times that News International executives engaged in a campaign of selective leaks implicating previous management and the police.

The Daily Mail has never knowingly published a story based on information gleaned from phone hacking or "blagging", the paper's editor, Paul Dacre, told MPs on Monday.
Dacre, the editor-in-chief of Daily Mail publisher Associated Newspapers, told a joint parliamentary select committee on defamation law reform that he had "absolutely not" published a story he knew was based on unlawfully-accessed material.
Asked by Baroness Hayter whether he had ever "countenanced" phone hacking or blagging – a phrase used to cover a range of techniques used to get hold of private information – in his 19 years at the Mail, Dacre said: "No."
Asked whether unlawful newsgathering techniques could ever be justified, he said: "Goodness me, deep waters. I have considerable sympathy that if there's a great public interest then those methods can be justified."
However, he added later: "I don't think you should ever use hacking or blagging as a [public interest] defence because they're criminal offences."
Dacre made the rare public appearance to give evidence before a joint Commons and Lords committee on the government's draft defamation bill.
Fleet Street's longest-serving editor and a longtime supporter of the Press Complaints Commission, conceded that the self-regulatory body needed to be "radically reformed". But he conceded that it was the "least imperfect system known to man".
The Daily Mail editor is the chairman of the editors' code of practice committee, which formulates the PCC's guidelines for newspapers and magazines.
Dacre described defamation law in the UK as having a "chilling effect" on newspapers, adding that it had got "exponentially worse" in recent years. "There's not a day goes by when predatory lawyers don't try it on, encouraged by vast sums of money which can be made – most of which goes to them."
He added: "The law is becoming more and more onerous and journalists are having to become more and more respectful so it is having a chilling effect."
In April 2009, Dacre revealed that the Daily Mail had recently sacked a journalist for unauthorised use of a private detective to obtain illegal information about people.
An investigation by the information commissioner in December 2006revealed that more than 50 Daily Mail journalists had paid private detectives to obtain 982 pieces of information about celebrities and other individuals.
Associated Newspaper dismissed the investigation, dubbed Operation Motorman, at the time as "utterly meaningless" as it was a snapshot based on the activities of one private detective agency, run by Steve Whittamore. Whittamore, sold information he obtained from the police national computer until he was exposed and convicted in 2005.
The Daily Mail came out on top of a list of newspapers that had used Whittamore's services. Others included the Mail's Associated Newspapers stablemate the Mail on Sunday, the Sunday People, Daily Mirror, Sunday Times and Observer (which is published by Guardian News & Media).
When the information commissioner's report was published in late 2006 an Associated spokesman said the publisher "in common with all newspapers and broadcasters, and many other organisations, including lawyers, use search agencies to obtain information entirely legitimately from a range of public sources ... In addition, the law specifically makes provision for journalists making inquiries in the public interest".
Dacre told the Commons culture, media and sport select committee in 2009 that following the information commissioner's 2006 report, the Daily Mail had banned reporters from using outside agents to supply personal information following, except in cases of overwhelming public interest.

At a time when the reputation of News of the World journalists is at rock bottom, it needs to be said that the paper's former showbusiness correspondent Sean Hoare, who died on Monday, was a lovely man.
In the saga of the phone-hacking scandal, he distinguished himself by being the first former NoW journalist to come out on the record, telling the New York Times last year that his former friend and editor, Andy Coulson, had actively encouraged him to hack into voicemail.
That took courage. But he had a particularly powerful motive for speaking. He knew how destructive the News of the World could be, not just for the targets of its exposés, but also for the ordinary journalists who worked there, who got caught up in its remorseless drive for headlines.
Explaining why he had spoken out, he told me: "I want to right a wrong, lift the lid on it, the whole culture. I know, we all know, that the hacking and other stuff is endemic. Because there is so much intimidation. In the newsroom, you have people being fired, breaking down in tears, hitting the bottle."
He knew this very well, because he was himself a victim of the News of the World. As a showbusiness reporter, he had lived what he was happy to call a privileged life. But the reality had ruined his physical health: "I was paid to go out and take drugs with rock stars – get drunk with them, take pills with them, take cocaine with them. It was so competitive. You are going to go beyond the call of duty. You are going to do things that no sane man would do. You're in a machine."
While it was happening, he loved it. He came from a working-class background of solid Arsenal supporters, always voted Labour, defined himself specifically as a "clause IV" socialist who still believed in public ownership of the means of production. But, working as a reporter, he suddenly found himself up to his elbows in drugs and delirium.
He rapidly arrived at the Sun's Bizarre column, then run by Coulson. He recalled: "There was a system on the Sun. We broke good stories. I had a good relationship with Andy. He would let me do what I wanted as long as I brought in a story. The brief was, 'I don't give a fuck'."
He was a born reporter. He could always find stories. And, unlike some of his nastier tabloid colleagues, he did not play the bully with his sources. He was naturally a warm, kind man, who could light up a lamp-post with his talk. From Bizarre, he moved to the Sunday People, under Neil Wallis, and then to the News of the World, where Andy Coulson had become deputy editor. And, persistently, he did as he was told and went out on the road with rock stars, befriending them, bingeing with them, pausing only to file his copy.
He made no secret of his massive ingestion of drugs. He told me how he used to start the day with "a rock star's breakfast" – a line of cocaine and a Jack Daniels – usually in the company of a journalist who now occupies a senior position at the Sun. He reckoned he was using three grammes of cocaine a day, spending about £1,000 a week. Plus endless alcohol. Looking back, he could see it had done him enormous damage. But at the time, as he recalled, most of his colleagues were doing it, too.
"Everyone got overconfident. We thought we could do coke, go to Brown's, sit in the Red Room with Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence. Everyone got a bit carried away."
It must have scared the rest of Fleet Street when he started talking – he had bought, sold and snorted cocaine with some of the most powerful names in tabloid journalism. One retains a senior position on the Daily Mirror. "I last saw him in Little Havana," he recalled, "at three in the morning, on his hands and knees. He had lost his cocaine wrap. I said to him, 'This is not really the behaviour we expect of a senior journalist from a great Labour paper.' He said, 'Have you got any fucking drugs?'"
And the voicemail hacking was all part of the great game. The idea that it was a secret, or the work of some "rogue reporter", had him rocking in his chair: "Everyone was doing it. Everybody got a bit carried away with this power that they had. No one came close to catching us." He would hack messages and delete them so the competition could not hear them, or hack messages and swap them with mates on other papers.
In the end, his body would not take it any more. He said he started to have fits, that his liver was in such a terrible state that a doctor told him he must be dead. And, as his health collapsed, he was sacked by the News of the World – by his old friend Coulson.
When he spoke out about the voicemail hacking, some Conservative MPs were quick to smear him, spreading tales of his drug use as though that meant he was dishonest. He was genuinely offended by the lies being told by News International and always willing to help me and other reporters who were trying to expose the truth. He was equally offended when Scotland Yard's former assistant commissioner, John Yates, assigned officers to interview him, not as a witness but as a suspect. They told him anything he said could be used against him, and, to his credit, he refused to have anything to do with them.
His health never recovered. He liked to say that he had stopped drinking, but he would treat himself to some red wine. He liked to say he didn't smoke any more, but he would stop for a cigarette on his way home. For better and worse, he was a Fleet Street man.

"Blindingly obvious" evidence of corrupt payments to police officers was found by the former director of public prosecutions, Lord Macdonald, when he inspected News of the World emails, the home affairs select committee was told.
Explaining how he had been called in by solicitors acting for Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation board, Lord Macdonald said that when he inspected the messages it took him between "three to five minutes" to decide that the material had to be passed to police.
"The material I saw was so blindingly obvious that trying to argue that it should not be given to the police would have been a hard task. It was evidence of serious criminal offences."
He first showed it to the News Corp board in June this year. "There was no dissent," he recalled. "They were stunned. They were shocked. I said it was my unequivocal advice that it should be handed to the police. They accepted that."
That board meeting, the former DPP said, was chaired by Rupert Murdoch.
Lord Macdonald shortly afterwards gave the material to Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick at the Metropolitan police. The nine or 10 emails passed over led to the launch of Operation Elveden, the police investigation into corrupt payments to officers for information.
Lord Macdonald, who had been in charge of the Crown Prosecution Service when the phone-hacking prosecution of the NoW's royal correspondent took place, said he had only been alerted to the case due to the convention that the DPP is always notified of crimes involving the royal family.
Members of the committee were highly critical of the CPS's narrow definition of what constituted phone hacking, claiming that it was at odds with the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act.
Mark Reckless, the Conservative MP for Rochester, said that the original police investigation was hindered by the advice from the CPS that phone hacking was only an offence if messages had been intercepted before they were listened to by the intended recipient. However, Reckless said, a clause in the RIPA makes it an offence to hack in to messages even if they have already been heard.
Keir Starmer, the current DPP, said that the police had been told that "the RIPA legislation was untested". Listening to messages before they had been heard by the intended recipient was illegal, the police were told, but the question of whether intercepting them afterwards constituted a crime was "untested", he said.
Mark Lewis, the solicitor who has followed the scandal since its start, said he was the first person to lose his job over the affair when the firm in which he was a partner said it no longer wished him to pursue other victims' claims.
Lewis also told MPs that he had been threatened by lawyers acting for John Yates, the former assistant commissioner at the Metropolitan police, because of comments he had made about phone hacking.
"I have copies of a letter from Carter Ruck [solicitors] threatening to sue me on behalf of John Yates," Lewis told the home affairs select committee. He said the Guardian and the Labour MP Chris Bryant had also received threats of being sued. "The costs of the action were paid for by the Metropolitan Police, by the taxpayer," he added.
Lewis said the reason for the investigation taking so long was not due solely to the police. "The DPP seems to have got it wrong and needs to be helped out," he said.
A new witness statement handed to the High Court of Justice showing Julian Assange was set up by the CIA
A new witness statement dated 13th July, 2011 has now been presented to Lord Justice Thomas and Mr Justice Ouseley who are the two High Court Judges hearing the Julian Assange Extradition and also presented to Clare Montgomery QC, appearing for the Swedish prosecution authority on the last day of Assange's appeal against extradition, who has falsely stated to a packed said complaints against him showed a lack of consent during a string of sexual encounters in Stockholm last August. Clare Montgomery QC said the charges set out on the European arrest warrant and supported by witness statements amount to valid allegations. However, in fairness to Clare Montgomery QC of Matrix Chambera London WC1R 5LN Telphone: +44(0) 207 404 3447 Fax: +44(0) 207 611 9369 until she received a copy of the witness statement varifying that Julian Assange’s rape accusers, Anna Ardin and Sofia Wilén had fabricated their stories to set up Julian Assange for the CIA and the USA, Clare Montgomery QC had not realised she had been hoodwinked by the Swedish Government to present a fasified set of facts and story to the High Court of Justice. In the light of being presented this new evidence it is understood that Clare Montgomery QC is going to recommend to the Swedish Government that they immediately withdraw from the extradition proceedings and drop all charges against Julian Assange. If the Swedish Govement do not drop these false and wrongful charges, based on fabricated evidence against Jilian Assange in the light of the new evidence, this will cause a international media revolt against the Swedish Government and a hugh 'public outcry for justice for Julian Assange'. The High Court would then have to step is under the inherent jurisdicton of the court to stop this traversity of just occuring, which could end up with Juilan Assange being wrongly/and unjustly executed and/or murdered in a US Jail, the two High Court Judges Lord Justice Thomas and Mr Justice Ouseley hearing the Julian Assange Extradition appeal will have step in in the interest of' justice not only being done, but seen to be done', to grant Julian Assange Extradition Appeal and immediately stop an innocent man being sent to his likely murder and/or wrongful execution in the USA, once Julian Assange is extradited to Sweden and then to the USA.
The only just and fair and humaen way to handle this case now is to set aside and or permanently stay any extrations orders against Julina Assange.
The alternative is for Julian Assange to apply for political Asylum in the UK.

Ah, then came the dawn. Assange Accuser Worked with US-Funded, CIA-Tied Anti-Castro Group By Kirk James Murphy, M.D. 04 Dec 2010 [As reported by Israel Shamir and Paul Bennett in Counterpunch in September]
Julian Assange’s chief accuser in Sweden has a significant history of work with anti-Castro groups, at least one of which is US funded and openly supported by a former CIA agent convicted in the mass murder of seventy three Cubans on an airliner he [Luis Posada Carilles] was involved in blowing up... Who is Julian Assange’s chief accuser in Sweden? She’s a gender equity officer at Uppsula University -- who chose to associate with a US funded group openly supported by a convicted terrorist and mass murderer. She just happens to have her work published by a very well funded group connected with Union Liberal Cubana -- whose leader, Carlos Alberto Montaner, in turn just happened to pop up on right wing Colombian TV a few hours after the right-wing coup in Honduras.
The Swedish prosecutor out to get Julian Assange, described as “overzealous” in the prestigious German weekly, Die Zeit, once advocated that men accused of mistreating women be locked up even without a conviction to give the accusing women time and space to think.
There is heated debate in Sweden whether the hard line taken against Assange by the state attorney is right, the paper says.
“Not an international conspiracy of secret services, but an overzealous state attorney is regarded as the main reason for (Assange’s) arrest.
“Even an association of young feminist women within the Social Democratic Party now doubts the seriousness of the accusations and the professionalism of the state attorney.
“That is remarkable inasmuch as Assange’s alleged victim (Anna Ardin) is a member of this group.”
Even within the group, Die Zeit writes, it is assumed that the allegations rest only on Assange allegedly not having used a condom against the will of his sex partner.
“These claims are not officially confirmed, however. But they would fit with the behaviour of the Swedish judiciary in the Assange case.”
When the accusations were first voiced to the Swedish police in August, the prosecutors did not lay charges.
Then personnel changed.
A new prosecutor, Marianne Ny, took over the case, distanced herself from the previous decision and laid a rape charge.
Marianne Ny is regarded as a prosecutor who goes especially far. “In one case of a woman being mistreated she voiced the opinion that men accused by women but not convicted should in any case be preventively locked up – to give the women “space to think things over”.
"Only when the man is in captivity and the woman in quietude gets time to look at her existence with some distance, does she get the opportunity to discover how she was treated,” she is quoted as saying at the time.
To Swedish media Assange’s British lawyer has likened Marianne Ny to an "unsecured firearm on the tossing deck of a ship in stormy sea”.

Julian Assange extradition appeal: QCs clash over 'conceptions
of consent'
High court judges adjourn case to consider Swedish prosecution
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange leaves the high court in London after his appeal against extradition to Sweden on sexual assault charges
Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, must be extradited to Swedento face accusations of rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion, the high court in London heard.
Clare Montgomery QC, appearing for the Swedish prosecution authority on the last day of Assange's appeal against extradition, said complaints against him showed a lack of consent during a string of sexual encounters in Stockholm last August. She said the charges set out on the European arrest warrant and supported by witness statements amount to valid allegations.
Speaking to a packed court four at the Royal Courts of Justice before Lord Justice Thomas and Mr Justice Ouseley adjourned to consider their verdict, she spelled out in graphic detail Assange's alleged behaviour and said the two female complainants known as AA and SW described "circumstances in which they did not freely consent without coercion".
"They were coerced, either by physical force or they were trapped into a situation where they had no choice," Montgomery said. "AA says in her case the prelude to the offence was Mr Assange ripping her clothes off, breaking her necklace, her trying to get dressed again and then letting him undress her." He then had sex with her after pinning her arms and trying to force her legs apart to insert his unprotected penis, which she did not want, she said.
In an increasingly hard fought legal battle, Assange's counsel, Ben Emmerson QC, hit back at what he said were attempts by Montgomery to characterise him as having "19th-century conceptions of consent". It was "crazy" of Montgomery to isolate a moment of lack of consent within sexual encounters that were otherwise consenting. He said police reports in Sweden showed SW had told a friend, Marie Thorn, that she felt police and others around her "railroaded her" into pressing charges. She had only wanted the police to force Assange to take a blood test after she became worried about HIV after unprotected sex with him, he said.
Emmerson said a friend of AA, Donald Bostrom, said "she didn't say at all she had been exposed to abuse and didn't even want to go to the police", and a charge of sexual molestation arising from Assange sharing a single bed with AA was also unfounded.
The European arrest warrant said Assange "deliberately molested the injured party on 18 August 2010 by acting in a manner designed to violate her sexual integrity".
In an interview, AA said Assange undressed below the waist and rubbed his erect penis against her. She found it "strange" and "awkward" and moved to sleep on a mattress on the floor. But Assange's erection was normal, Emmerson told the court.
"He's lying beside her in a single bed my lord," he said. "Men will get erections involuntarily and at different times during a night's sleep. If she chooses to spend a night in a single bed with a man there is a strong possibility she will come into contact with an erect penis. I don't mean that as a joke."
"I agree with you," said Thomas.
However, Montgomery told the court the definition of an extradition offence "means the conduct complained of. It has nothing to do with the evidence."
Thomas appeared to concur: "We are not concerned with whether this is a good case or a bad case but whether what is charged amounts to acrime."
In one of several criticisms of the Swedish authorities, Emmerson said: "The clearest possible facts have been concealed through the terminology of the warrant. That is wrong and it is the responsibility of this court to put it right."
Assange left court without comment and returned to Norfolk to continue his house arrest. A verdict is expected in around a month.

" Journalists working for Rupert Murdoch's newspapers 'blagged' detaild of Gordon Brown's sich children, it was alleged yesterday. They obtained details from the medical files of Mr Brown's four month-old son, Fraser, showing he eas sufefreing from cystic fibrosis. They also attemoted to access the former prime minister's voice mail, his legal file and hisbank account, the latest reports show. The claims, involving, The Sun and the SundayTimes, suggested for the first time thatthe hacking scandal was spreading beyond the now-closed News Of The World. It also cast further serious doubt over Mr Murdoch's bid to obtan full control of BSkyB; yesterday the move was referred by ministrs to competition wtachdogs. Last night, Mr Brown ans h wife, Sarah, spoke of their sadness and shock at the 'level of criminality' used to prociure some of their children's most intimate details... The scandal, which erupted last week when it emerged that the News of the World had hacked the phone of murdered schollgirl Milly Dowler, took another dark twist with the latest allefations publish by the Guardian. In 2006, Sun editor Rebekah Brooks contacted the Browns to ell them they had detaild formRaser's mefical files, the paper claimed. Five years earluer, sensitive information about the couple's first child, Jennifer, who died at ten days old, also found its way to newspapers. The Sunday Times was also linked to an actor impersonating Mr Brown trying to get access to his Abbey National account and legal file. The claims were even more devistating to Mrs Brown who considered Mrs Brooks a friend and even organised her 40th birthday party in 2008. She said yesterday: 'So sad to learn about all I have about my family's provacy.

Julian Assange a great dissident, says his father
WikiLeaks founder's biological father, attending extradition hearing, tells of son's 'immense desire for justice in the world'

Julian Assange's biological father has described his son as a "great dissident" in what he said would be his first and probably only media interview.
John Shipton, who has been attending the Assange extradition hearing in London, spoke to the Spanish newspaper el País and confirmed that his son did not get to know him until his mid-20s.
"I have kept my mouth closed so as not to hinder things," said Shipton, whose name Assange used to register the Wikileaks.org domain name in 2006.
Shipton met Assange's mother, Christine, then aged 17, at an antiques shop on his way to a Vietnam war demonstration – which she joined. Little is known about the relationship, except that it had ended by the time of their son's first birthday – if not earlier. Christine then married theatre director Brett Assange.
Shipton told el País that he first got to know his son after Christine rang his Sydney home in 1996. Assange was 25 at the time. "It was extraordinary," Shipton said. "Certain of his thought processes made it seem like I was staring into a mirror. I could barely believe it. He had the same logic, the same intense curiosity, the same obtuse way of constructing sentences ... that never end."
That meeting coincided with, or came soon after, Assange's 1996 trial for computer hacking – where his lawyer talked of a "really quite tragic" nomadic childhood that saw him attend at least a dozen schools.
His mother became pregnant in her early 20s after she "effectively ran away from home" to Sydney, according to court documents used by Guardian journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding in their book WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War On Secrecy. The documents state that Shipton "never took up residence or if he did only took up residence for a very short time" and "had no contact with [Assange]".
Assange nevertheless later felt confident enough to use his father's name to register WikiLeaks' internet domain name, re-registering Shipton's nominal address in 2008 as Nairobi in Kenya.
Shipton had worried that his son was a modern Don Quixote. "At that time it seemed as though Julian loved tilting at windmills, but it turned out not to be like that." He warned Assange that he was setting himself tough, idealistic targets. "When someone tells you they want to turn the world upside down, you reply: 'OK, try it. But it's not that easy!'"
Shipton, who is believed to work as a freelance architect in Sydney, said Assange had inherited Christine's fighting spirit. "He is a great dissident, well-prepared for a new era in which direct action is practised via the internet."
He said his son's style of dissidence followed in the tradition of people like Che Guevara, Apollinaire or south American hero Simón Bolívar.
Shipton is convinced Assange is the victim of a conspiracy. "I think all this has been organised," he said, while adding that he did not want to hurt Assange's alleged Swedish victims with his words. "The intelligence agencies got involved in this business from the very start."
Assange's father apparently sees the US government behind the decision by Mastercard and Visa to prevent WikiLeaks accepting donations from their credit cards. "There is no separation between governments and finance," he said.
"There are many intelligent people in the world, but most seem to be wicked, while Julian seems to have the moral courage and ability to carry his vision through. He seems to have an immense desire for justice in the world."

Either some of the world's biggest secrets are passing through an Australian P.O. box or WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is taking a break from his transparency mission to court the celebrity lifestyle and fight his legal battle.
For the past year, the whistleblower site has been unable to receive leaked documents online after Assange's former right-hand man, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, took the organisation's encrypted submission system with him on his way out to start a rival site, OpenLeaks.
WikiLeaks has also shut down its online chat service designed to facilitate submissions so the only way leakers can blow the whistle is via snail mail: Australian PO Box 4080 at the University of Melbourne.

It's a decidedly low-tech approach from one of the world's best-known computer hackers. Emails sent to Assange's own personal address have also been bouncing.
Assange, who has to wear an electronic tag and report to police every day, has been busy fighting extradition to Sweden to face sexual misconduct claims. While under house arrest at a friend's mansion in Eastern England the Australian has been on a donation drive to pay for his legal fees and keep WikiLeaks running.
But despite spending the past seven months confined to a rural house Assange has not said when submissions will be re-opened. A notice on the website only says submissions will be accepted "in the near future" following "re-engineering improvements" designed to make the site "more secure and more user-friendly".
Last weekend Assange hosted a lavish 40th birthday party at the mansion he is staying in. The guest list reportedly included Oprah Winfrey, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp and US Vogue editor Anna Wintour, but none are believed to have turned up.
"You can charter a private plane to Norwich International Airport which has a private air strip and is a half-hour taxi journey from Ellingham Hall, or alternatively you can land helicopters on the Ellingham Hall property on the field in the north-west quadrant of this map," read the invitation to the bash.
The Guardian reported about 100 people attended the party in a massive marquee set up at the mansion but there were no reports of planes, helicopters or celebrities.
"Heading back to London after party in Norfolk. No sign of Branjelina or any helicopters," tweeted activist Ryan Gallagher, who attended the bash.
Fighting extradition
This week, Assange has been back in the high court in Britain fighting his extradition to Sweden to face claims he sexually assaulted two women. Assange argues the sex was consensual and has said the court case is a political smear by the US government.
In February Assange was ordered to return to Sweden by Senior District Judge Howard Riddle, who dismissed claims by defence lawyers that the extradition was without legal basis and would result in a violation of human rights.
Assange has appealed the extradition order in Britain's High Court, overseen by Lord Justice Thomas and Mr Justice Ouseley, who on Wednesday heard a second day of argument over the detail of a European Arrest Warrant which alleges three counts of sexual assault and one of rape against two women on two separate occasions.
Assange has not been charged and denies the allegations, including that he deliberately broke a condom to have unprotected sex, saying that on each occasion sex was consensual and that Judge Riddle's extradition order was "wrong".
"If a woman chooses to spend the night in a single bed with a male, there is an inevitable possibility that she will come into contact with an erect penis at some time," barrister Ben Emmerson, QC, told the court.
Lawyers for Assange further argued that the extradition warrant fails to meet points of law, including that he is not named for prosecution, but instead simply wanted for questioning, which could be done by phone.
'They did not freely consent'
However prosecutor Clare Montgomery, QC, said that the warrant is valid and contains allegations capable of justifying criminal charges.
"Those charges as claimed are substantiated by probable cause," she told the court.
"With that as a factual background, your Lords would need evidential clarity of quite monumental proportions to displace what the (Swedish) prosecutor has complained about."
Comparing evidence in the arrest warrant to that detailed in a prosecution dossier and not yet made available to the court, Ms Montgomery said the particulars are essentially the same.
"In my opinion, when one does that (comparison) it is perfectly plain that what one is looking at is not only ... non-consensual, coerced sex .... but that that is clearly the only inference that can be drawn from the claimants," she said.
"They did not freely consent ... (but) were coerced either by physical force or after having been trapped into a position where they couldn't (refuse) and ... they let him continue.
"If what they say matters, they are clearly describing violent sex acts where there was no reason to believe consent had been granted."
Assange wanted to 'impregnate virgins'
Ms Montgomery accused Assange's lawyers of "19th Century conceptions of consent", adding that in contemporary law, consent to share a bed, or even engage in foreplay, does not translate to consent to have intercourse.
Furthermore, to Assange's desire to engage in unprotected sex, Ms Montgomery referred to a witness statement made by one of the complainants that: "(Assange) preferred virgins because he would be the first to impregnate them".
Mr Emmerson said the allegations needed to be considered in their entirety and not with the "socially desirable interpretations of consent" suggested by the prosecution.
Throughout this week's hearings Assange's legal team trialled a new approach and most notably has brought an end to Assange's long media conferences outside court which typically degenerated into rants about the failings of Europe's legal system.
On both Tuesday and Wednesday, Assange remained tight-lipped as he left court, although he gave the impression he was bursting to have his say.
Has the man who achieved global fame championing for freedom of speech himself been gagged?
The bench overseeing Assange's extradition appeal have reserved their judgment, to be handed down at a date to be fixed.
Book deal collapses
Meanwhile, the book deal for Assange's memoirs, which would've seen the Australian net £850,000, has collapsed because Assange feared the US government could use the details to extradite him to the US.
"I don't want to write this book, but I have to. I have already spent £200,000 for legal costs and I need to defend myself and to keep WikiLeaks afloat," he said when the book deal was first announced.
Bradley Manning, the 23-year-old US soldier accused of leaking confidential US embassy cables and other data to Assange, has been languishing in a military prison for the past year. He is awaiting a hearing to decide whether he will face a court martial.
While much attention has been focused on Assange, many are now turning to the plight of Manning, who has been profiled recently in both New York magazine and The Atlantic.
Manning was turned in by Adrian Lamo, a hacker who struck up a relationship with Manning online. The full logsof the online chats between Manning and Lamo that ultimately led to Manning's arrest were this week published by Wired.
European Arrest Warrant was issued on September 1.
Since then Assange, who is currently under house arrest in Norfolk, has been fighting extradition to Sweden over the allegations.
Ben Emmerson QC, representing Assange, said that consent was given in both cases, adding that SW had become captivated by Assange when she saw him on TV and that she had consensual sex with him while 'half asleep'.
Yesterday Lord Justice Thomas and Mr Justice Ouseley reserved their judgment in the case.
Assange says the allegations against him are politically motivated and could result in him being extradited to the U.S., where the government was rocked by his website's mass leaking of diplomatic cables.
Julian Paul Assange (/əˈsɒnʒ/ə-sonzh; born 3 July 1971) is an Australian publisher,[4][5]journalist,[6][7][8] computer programmer and Internet activist. He is the editor in chief ofWikiLeaks, a whistleblower website and conduit for worldwide news leaks, with the stated purpose of creating open governments. Assange was a hacker in his youth, before becoming a computer programmer.[9] He has lived in several countries and has made public appearances in many parts of the world to speak about freedom of the press, censorship and investigative journalism.
Assange appealed a February 2011 decision by English courts to extradite him to Sweden for questioning in relation to a sexual assault investigation.[15][16][17][18] He said the allegations of wrongdoing are "without basis".[19] A two-day High Court hearing started on 12 July; he remains on bail.[20]
His biological father was John Shipton, and his mother Christine was the daughter of Scottish-born principal of Northern Rivers College, Warren Hawkins.[22][23] When Julian was one year old, Christine married theatre director Brett Assange, who gave him his surname.[2][24][25]Brett and Christine Assange ran a touring theatre company. His stepfather, Julian's first "real dad", described Julian as "a very sharp kid" with "a keen sense of right and wrong". "He always stood up for the underdog... he was always very angry about people ganging up on other people."[25]
Assange has asserted: "Capable, generous men do not create victims; they nurture victims." He says he is a combative person and that perhaps he is not so good at nurturing, but that "there is another way of nurturing victims, which is to police perpetrators."[26]
In 1979, his mother remarried; her new husband was a musician whom Julian Assange believed belonged to a New Age group calledSantiniketan Park Association led by Yoga teacher Anne Hamilton-Byrne. The couple had a son, but broke up in 1982 and engaged in acustody struggle for Assange's half-brother. His divorced mother fled her boyfriend across Australia, taking both children into hiding for the next five years. Assange moved 30 times before he turned 14, attending many schools, including Goolmangar Primary School from 1979 to 1983, sometimes being home-schooled.[2][27][28] In an interview conducted by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Assange stated that he had lived in 50 different towns and attended 37 different schools.[29]
Hacking and conviction
In 1987, after turning 16, Assange began hacking under the name "Mendax" (derived from a phrase of Horace: "splendide mendax", or "nobly untruthful").[2] He and two other hackers joined to form a group they named the International Subversives. Assange wrote down the early rules of the subculture: "Don't damage computer systems you break into (including crashing them); don't change the information in those systems (except for altering logs to cover your tracks); and share information".[2] The Personal Democracy Forum said he was "Australia's most famous ethical computer hacker."[30] The Australian Federal Police became aware of this group and set up "Operation Weather" to investigate their hacking. In September 1991 Mendax was discovered in the act of hacking into the Melbourne master terminal of Nortel, the Canadian telecommunications company.[2] In response the Australian Federal Police tapped Assanges' phoneline and subsequently raided his Melbourne home in 1991.[31] He was also reported to have accessed computers belonging to an Australian university,[2] the USAF 7th Command Group in the Pentagon[32] and other organisations, via modem.[33] It took three years to bring the case to court, where he was charged with 31 counts of hacking and related crimes. Nortel said his incursions cost them more than $100,000. Despite representing hacking as a victimless crime, he nonetheless pleaded guilty to 25 charges of hacking. Six charges were dropped. He was released on bond for good conduct after being fined A$2,100.[2][34] The judge said "there is just no evidence that there was anything other than sort of intelligent inquisitiveness and the pleasure of being able to—what's the expression—surf through these various computers"[2] and stated that Assange would have gone to jail for up to 10 years if he had not had such a disrupted childhood.[32]
Assange later commented, "It's a bit annoying, actually. Because I co-wrote a book about [being a hacker], there are documentaries about that, people talk about that a lot. They can cut and paste. But that was 20 years ago. It's very annoying to see modern day articles calling me a computer hacker. I'm not ashamed of it, I'm quite proud of it. But I understand the reason they suggest I'm a computer hacker now. There's a very specific reason."[4]
In 2011, court records revealed that in 1993, Assange helped the Victoria Police Child Exploitation Unit by providing technical advice and assisted in prosecuting persons.[35]
Child custody issues
In 1989, Assange started living with his girlfriend and they had a son, Daniel Assange.[36] They split up during the period of Assange's arrest and conviction. They subsequently engaged in a lengthy custody struggle and did not agree on a custody arrangement until 1999.[2][37]
The entire process prompted Assange and his mother to form Parent Inquiry Into Child Protection, an activist group centered on creating a "central databank" for otherwise inaccessible legal records related to child custody issues in Australia.[37] In an interview with ABC Radio, his mother explained their "most important" issue was demanding "that there be direct access to the children's court by any member of the public for an application for protection for any child that they believe is at serious risk from abuse, where the child protection agency has rejected that notification."[38]
From 2003 to 2006, Assange attended the University of Melbourne, mainly studying physics and mathematics and briefly studying philosophy and neuroscience.[27][30][50] In most of his maths courses, he received the minimum "pass" grade. He did not graduate; the fact that his fellow students were doing research for Pentagon's DARPA was reportedly a factor in motivating him to drop out and start WikiLeaks.[2][27][50][51]
WikiLeaks
WikiLeaks was founded in 2006.[2][52] That year, Assange wrote two essays setting out the philosophy behind WikiLeaks: "To radically shift regime behavior we must think clearly and boldly for if we have learned anything, it is that regimes do not want to be changed. We must think beyond those who have gone before us and discover technological changes that embolden us with ways to act in which our forebears could not."[53][54][55] In his blog he wrote, "the more secretive or unjust an organisation is, the more leaks induce fear and paranoia in its leadership and planning coterie.... Since unjust systems, by their nature, induce opponents, and in many places barely have the upper hand, mass leaking leaves them exquisitely vulnerable to those who seek to replace them with more open forms of governance."[53][56]
Assange is a prominent media spokesman on WikiLeaks' behalf. While newspapers have described him as a "director"[57] or "founder"[31] of WikiLeaks, Assange has said, "I don't call myself a founder";[58] he does describe himself as the editor in chief of WikiLeaks,[59] and has stated that he has the final decision in the process of vetting documents submitted to the site.[60] Assange says that WikiLeaks has released more classified documents than the rest of the world press combined: "That's not something I say as a way of saying how successful we are – rather, that shows you the parlous state of the rest of the media. How is it that a team of five people has managed to release to the public more suppressed information, at that level, than the rest of the world press combined? It's disgraceful."[52] He advocates a "transparent" and "scientific" approach to journalism, saying that "you can't publish a paper on physics without the full experimental data and results; that should be the standard in journalism."[61][62] In 2006, CounterPunch called him "Australia's most infamous former computer hacker."[63]The Age has called him "one of the most intriguing people in the world" and "internet's freedom fighter."[49] Assange has called himself "extremely cynical".[49] He has been described as being largely self-taught and widely read on science and mathematics,[34] and as thriving on intellectual battle.[64]
WikiLeaks has been involved in the publication of material documenting extrajudicial killings in Kenya, a report of toxic waste dumping on the coast of Côte d'Ivoire, Church of Scientology manuals, Guantanamo Bay procedures, the 12 July 2007 Baghdad airstrike video, and material involving large banks such as Kaupthing and Julius Baer among other documents.[12] In 2008, Assange published an article entitled "The Hidden Curse of Thomas Paine", in which he wrote "What does it mean when only those facts about the world with economic powers behind them can be heard, when the truth lays naked before the world and no one will be the first to speak without payment or subsidy?"[65]
In late 2010, Assange was in the process of completing his memoirs for publication in 2011.[66]
In addition to exercising great authority and editorial control within WikiLeaks, Assange acts as its public face. He has appeared at media conferences such as New Media Days '09 in Copenhagen,[67] the 2010 Logan Symposium in Investigative Reporting at the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism,[68] and at hacker conferences, notably the 25th and 26th Chaos Communication Congress.[69] In the first half of 2010, he appeared on Al Jazeera English,MSNBC, Democracy Now!, RT, and The Colbert Report to discuss the release of the Baghdad airstrike video by WikiLeaks. On 3 June he appeared via videoconferencing at the Personal Democracy Forum conference with Daniel Ellsberg.[70][71] Ellsberg told MSNBC "the explanation he [Assange] used" for not appearing in person in the U.S. was that "it was not safe for him to come to this country."[72] On 11 June he was to appear on a Showcase Panel at the Investigative Reporters and Editors conference in Las Vegas,[73] but there are reports that he cancelled several days prior.[74]
On 10 June 2010, it was reported that Pentagon officials were trying to determine his whereabouts.[75][76] Based on this, there were reports that U.S. officials wanted to apprehend Assange.[77] Ellsberg said that the arrest of Bradley Manning and subsequent speculation by U.S. officials about what Assange may be about to publish "puts his well-being, his physical life, in some danger now."[72] In The Atlantic,Marc Ambinder called Ellsberg's concerns "ridiculous", and said that "Assange's tendency to believe that he is one step away from being thrown into a black hole hinders, and to some extent discredits, his work."[78] In Salon.com, Glenn Greenwald questioned "screeching media reports" that there was a "manhunt" on Assange underway, arguing that they were only based on comments by "anonymous government officials" and might even serve a campaign by the U.S. government, by intimidating possible whistleblowers.
On 21 June 2010, he took part at a hearing in Brussels, Belgium, appearing in public for the first time in nearly a month.[79] He was a member on a panel that discussed Internet censorship and expressed his worries over the recent filtering in countries such as Australia. He also talked about secret gag orders preventing newspapers from publishing information about specific subjects and even divulging the fact that they are being gagged. Using an example involving The Guardian, he also explained how newspapers are altering their online archives sometimes by removing entire articles.[80][81] He told The Guardian that he does not fear for his safety but is on permanent alert and will avoid travel to America, saying "[U.S.] public statements have all been reasonable. But some statements made in private are a bit more questionable." He said "politically it would be a great error for them to act. I feel perfectly safe but I have been advised by my lawyers not to travel to the U.S. during this period."[79]
On 17 July, Jacob Appelbaum spoke on behalf of WikiLeaks at the 2010 Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) conference in New York City, replacing Assange due to the presence of federal agents at the conference.[82][83] He announced that the WikiLeaks submission system was again up and running, after it had been temporarily suspended.[82][84] Assange was a surprise speaker at a TED conference on 19 July 2010, in Oxford, and confirmed that WikiLeaks was now accepting submissions again.[85][86][87] On 26 July, after the release of the Afghan War Diary, he appeared at the Frontline Club for a press conference.[88] On 15 March 2011, Assange gave a speech at the Cambridge Union Society.[89][90] After initially discouraging recording, a video of this has been made available by the Society.[91]
On 28 November 2010, WikiLeaks began releasing some of the 251,000 American diplomatic cables in their possession, of which over 53 percent are listed as unclassified, 40 percent are "Confidential" and just over six percent are classified "Secret". The following day, the Attorney-General of Australia, Robert McClelland, told the press that Australia would inquire into Assange's activities and WikiLeaks.[92] He said that "from Australia's point of view, we think there are potentially a number of criminal laws that could have been breached by the release of this information. The Australian Federal Police are looking at that".[93] McClelland would not rule out the possibility that Australian authorities will cancel Assange's passport, and warned him that he might face charges should he return to Australia.[94] The Federal Police inquiry found that Assange had not committed any crime.[95]
The United States Department of Justice launched a criminal investigation related to the leak. U.S. prosecutors are reportedly considering charges against Assange under several laws, but any prosecution would be difficult.[96] In relation to its ongoing investigations of WikiLeaks, on 14 December 2010, the U.S. Department of Justiceissued a subpoena ordering Twitter to release information relating to Assange's account, amongst others.[97][98]
Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg said that Assange "is serving our democracy and serving our rule of law precisely by challenging the secrecy regulations, which are not laws in most cases, in this country." On the issue of national security considerations for the U.S., Ellsberg added, "He's obviously a very competent guy in many ways. I think his instincts are that most of this material deserves to be out. We are arguing over a very small fragment that doesn't. He has not yet put out anything that hurt anybody's national security."[99]Assange told London reporters that the leaked cables showed U.S. ambassadors around the world were ordered "to engage in espionage behavior", which he said seemed to be "representative of a gradual shift to a lack of rule of law in U.S. institutions that needs to be exposed and that we have been exposing."[100]
Assange received the 2009 Media award from Amnesty International for Kenya: The Cry of Blood – Extra Judicial Killings and Disappearances,[8] and he has been recognized as a journalist by the Centre for Investigative Journalism.[7] Assange has been a member of the Australian journalist union, the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance, for several years, and in 2011, was made an honorary member.[103][104]Alex Massie wrote an article in The Spectator called "Yes, Julian Assange is a journalist", but acknowledged that "newsman" might be a better description of Assange.[6]Alan Dershowitz said "Without a doubt. He is a journalist, a new kind of journalist".[105] Assange has said that he has been publishing factual material since age 25, and that it is not necessary to debate whether or not he is a journalist. He has stated that his role is "primarily that of a publisher and editor-in-chief who organises and directs other journalists".[106]
Financial developments
On 6 December, the Swiss bank, PostFinance, announced that it had frozen assets of Assange's totalling 31,000 euros, because he had "provided false information regarding his place of residence" when opening the account.[107]MasterCard,[108]Visa Inc.,[109] and Bank of America[110] also halted dealings with WikiLeaks. Assange described these actions as "business McCarthyism".[111] The English-language Swedish newspaper web-site "Local" quoted Assange on 27 December 2010, as saying that legal costs for the whistleblowing website and his own defence had reached £500,000. The decisions to halt donations to WikiLeaks by Visa, MasterCard and PayPal had cost it £425,000, the same amount it costs the website to publish for six months. Assange said WikiLeaks had been receiving as much as £85,000 a day at its peak.[112]
Autobiography
In December 2010, Assange sold the publishing rights to his autobiography for over £1 million. He told The Sunday Times that he was forced to enter the deals for an autobiography due to the financial difficulties he and the site encountered, he told them "I don't want to write this book, but I have to. I have already spent £200,000 for legal costs and I need to defend myself and to keep WikiLeaks afloat".[113] On 14 February 2011, Assange filed for the trademark JULIAN ASSANGE in Europe. The trademark is to be used for "public speaking services; news reporter services; journalism; publication of texts other than publicity texts; education services; entertainment services".[114]
Criticism
A number of political and media commentators, as well as current and former U.S. government officials, have accused Assange of terrorism. U.S. Vice President Joe Biden said "I would argue it is closer to being a high-tech terrorist than the Pentagon papers."[115] In May 2010, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell had used the phrase, calling Assange "a high-tech terrorist", and saying "he has done enormous damage to our country. I think he needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law".[116] Also in May 2010, former House SpeakerNewt Gingrich said: "Information terrorism, which leads to people getting killed, is terrorism, and Julian Assange is engaged in terrorism. He should be treated as an enemy combatant."[117]
In July 2010, after WikiLeaks released classified documents related to the war in Afghanistan, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff,Mike Mullen, said at a Pentagon news conference, "Disagree with the war all you want, take issue with the policy, challenge me or our ground commanders on the decisions we make to accomplish the mission we've been given, but don't put those who willingly go into harm's way even further in harm's way just to satisfy your need to make a point. Mr. Assange can say whatever he likes about the greater good he thinks he and his source are doing, but the truth is, they might already have on their hands the blood of some young soldier or that of an Afghan family." Assange responded later in an interview by saying, "There is, as far as we can tell, no incident of that. So it is a speculative charge. Of course, we are treating any possible revelation of the names of innocents seriously. That is why we held back 15,000 of these documents, to review that".[118]
Retractions of, or apologies for, criticism
The Australian government considered charging Assange for treason.[119] It has retracted its previous comments that the actions of Julian Assange constituted a crime. They also found no grounds to withdraw his Australian passport after an investigation by the Australian Federal Police. Since then, government representatives and the major opposition, including Craig Emerson the Minister for Trade and Helen Coonan the former minister for Communications, have made statements supportive of WikiLeaks and deprecated some threats. Emerson stated on ABC's Q&A program; "We condemn absolutely the threats that have been made by some people in the United States against Julian Assange and he deserves all of the rights of being an Australian citizen."[120]
Prime Minister of Russia, Vladimir Putin condemned Assange's detention as "undemocratic".[124] A source within the office of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev suggested that Assange be nominated for a Nobel Prize, and said that "Public and non-governmental organisations should think of how to help him."[125]
In December 2010, the United Nations' Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Opinion and Expression, Frank LaRue, said Assange or other WikiLeaks staff should not face criminal charges for any information they disseminated, noting that "if there is a responsibility by leaking information it is of, exclusively of the person that made the leak and not of the media that publish it. And this is the way that transparency works and that corruption has been confronted in many cases."[126]
Daniel Ellsberg, who was working in the U.S. Department of Defense when he leaked the Pentagon Papers in 1971, was a signatory to a statement by an international group of former intelligence officers and ex-government officials in support of Assange's work, which was released in late December 2010. Other signatories included David MacMichael, Ray McGovern, and five recipients of annual Sam Adams Award: Frank Grevil, Katharine Gun, Craig Murray, Coleen Rowley and Larry Wilkerson.[127] Ellsberg has said, "If I released the Pentagon Papers today, the same rhetoric and the same calls would be made about me ... I would be called not only a traitor – which I was [called] then, which was false and slanderous – but I would be called a terrorist... Assange and Bradley Manning are no more terrorists than I am."[128]
Demonstration in support of Assange in front of Sydney Town Hall, 10 December 2010.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has come under widespread condemnation and a backlash within her own party for failing to support Assange after calling the leaks "an illegal act" and suggesting that his Australian passport should be cancelled. Hundreds of lawyers, academics and journalists came forward in his support with Attorney-General Robert McClelland, unable to explain how Assange had broken Australian law. Opposition Legal Affairs spokesman, Senator George Brandis, a Queen's Counsel, accused Gillard of being "clumsy" with her language, stating, "As far as I can see, he (Assange) hasn't broken any Australian law, nor does it appear he has broken any American laws." Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd, who supports Assange, stated that any decision to cancel the passport would be his, not Gillard's. Queen's Counsel Peter Faris, who acted for Assange in a hacking case 15 years ago, said that the motives of Swedish authorities in seeking Assange's extradition for alleged sex offences are suspect: "You have to say: why are they [Sweden] pursuing it? It's pretty obvious that if it was Bill Bloggs, they wouldn't be going to the trouble." Following the Swedish Embassy issuing of a "prepared and unconvincing reply" in response to letters of protest, Gillard was called on to send a message to Sweden "querying the way charges were laid, investigated and dropped, only to be picked up again by a different prosecutor."[124][129][130][131][132]
On 10 December 2010, over five hundred people rallied outside Sydney Town Hall and about three hundred and fifty people gathered in Brisbane[133] where Assange's lawyer, Rob Stary, criticised Julia Gillard's position, telling the rally that the Australian government was a "sycophant" of the U.S. A petition circulated by GetUp!, who have placed full page ads in support of Assange in The New York Times andThe Washington Times, received more than 50,000 signatures.[131]
In 2010, Assange was awarded the Sam Adams Award,[138][139] Readers' Choice in TIME magazine's Person of the Year poll,[14] and runner-up for Person of the Year.[140] In April 2011 he was listed on the Time 100 list of most influential people.[141] An informal poll of editors at Postmedia Network named him the top newsmaker for the year after six out of 10 felt Assange had "affected profoundly how information is seen and delivered".[142]
Le Monde, one of the five publications to cooperate with WikiLeaks' publication of the recent document leaks, named him person of the year with fifty six percent of the votes in their online poll.[143][144][145]
In February 2011, it was announced that Assange had been awarded the Sydney Peace Foundation gold medal by the Sydney Peace Foundation of the University of Sydney for his "exceptional courage and initiative in pursuit of human rights."[146] There have only been four recipients of the award in the foundation's fourteen year history: Nelson Mandela; the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso; Daisaku Ikeda, a Japanese Buddhist leader; and Assange.[146]
In June 2011, Assange was awarded the Martha Gellhorn Prize for Journalism. The prize is awarded on an annual basis to journalists "whose work has penetrated the established version of events and told an unpalatable truth that exposes establishment propaganda, or 'official drivel'". The judges said, "WikiLeaks has been portrayed as a phenomenon of the hi-tech age, which it is. But it's much more. Its goal of justice through transparency is in the oldest and finest tradition of journalism."[147]
On 20 August 2010, Swedish police began an investigation into two sexual encounters involving Assange.[148][149] Assange has said allegations of wrongdoing are "without basis",[19] describing all the sexual encounters as consensual.[150][151] In December 2010, Assange, then in Britain, learned that the Swedish authorities had issued a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) to extradite him to Sweden for questioning.
On 2 March 2011, his lawyers lodged papers at the London High Court to challenge the ruling to extradite Assange to Sweden.[157] Assange remains under strict bail conditions.[157][158] His appeal started on 12 July 2011 at the High Court in London.[159]
Residency
Though an Australian citizen, Assange has not had a permanent address for several years.[5] He has lived for periods in Australia, Kenya and Tanzania, and began renting a house in Iceland on 30 March 2010, from which he and other activists, including Birgitta Jónsdóttir, worked on the 'Collateral Murder' video.[2]
For much of 2010, he was visiting the United Kingdom, Iceland, Sweden and other European countries. On 4 November 2010, Assange told Swiss public television TSR that he was seriously considering seeking political asylum in neutral Switzerland and moving the operation of the WikiLeaks foundation there.[160] In December 2010, it was reported that U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland Donald S. Beyer had warned the Swiss government against offering asylum to Assange.[161]
In late November 2010, Deputy Foreign Minister Kintto Lucas of Ecuador spoke about giving Assange residency with "no conditions... so he can freely present the information he possesses and all the documentation, not just over the Internet but in a variety of public forums".[162]Lucas believed that Ecuador may benefit from initiating a dialogue with Assange.[163] Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino stated on 30 November that the residency application would "have to be studied from the legal and diplomatic perspective".[164] A few hours later, President Rafael Correa stated that WikiLeaks "committed an error by breaking the laws of the United States and leaking this type of information... no official offer was [ever] made."[165][166] Correa noted that Lucas was speaking "on his own behalf"; additionally, he will launch an investigation into possible ramifications Ecuador would suffer from the release of the cables.[166]
In a hearing at the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on 7 December 2010, Assange identified a post office box as his address. When told by the judge that this information was not acceptable, he submitted "Parkville, Victoria, Australia" on a sheet of paper. His lack of permanent address and nomadic lifestyle were cited by the judge as factors in denying bail.[167] He was ultimately released, in part because journalist Vaughan Smith offered to provide Assange with an address for bail during the extradition proceedings, Smith's Norfolk mansion,Ellingham Hall.[168]
^ Assange stated, "In this limited application strobe is said to be faster and more flexible than ISS2.1 (an expensive, but verbose security checker by Christopher Klaus) or PingWare (also commercial, and even more expensive)." See Strobe v1.01: Super Optimised TCP port surveyor
^"Julian Assange like a hi-tech terrorist, says Joe Biden"The Guardian, 19 December 2010. "I would argue it is closer to being a hi-tech terrorist than the Pentagon papers. But, look, this guy has done things that have damaged and put in jeopardy the lives and occupations of people in other parts of the world."

"..At News of the World we offer the same service as the international media giants like Rupert Murdoch's News Corp but as you can see our overheads are much lower..."
A Message from Wijat and His Team:
Mr Wijat and His Team give a warm welcome to the re-launching of News of the World after it was ruthlessly closed by Rupert James and Rebekah to hide the evidence of the Phone Hacking and Police Bribery Scandal, to destroy the books of the News of the World so it will e harder to know what happened..who did what and when..where did the money go and to whom and when,,. and in any event news of the World was competing with other weekend newspapers owned by News International and News Corp...so it made good business and legal sense to Rupert, James and Rebekah to just close News of the World up..do not worry about the hard working and dedicated staff you really need the jobs.however what Rupert, Jame and Rebekah did not know is that News of the World was going to refuse to be murdered that easily..News of the World found it self dumped in a dark alley in London ..badly wounded and bleeding to death ... and having trouble breathing.. Mr Wijat's good friend Magic Rabbit found News of the World lying in an alley just off Fleet Street, and ran to Tell Mr Wijat who organised His Team to take News of the World to hospital to stop the New of the World bleeding and gave News of the World a new breath of life... News of the World has then asked Mr Wijat and His Team, EFR the Worm, Al Wijat, Marvelous Marvin and Magic Rabbit (only Mr Wijat can see Magic Rabbit through Mr Wijat's Special Magic Glasses that Mr Wijat wears made for Mr Wijat by Mr Wijat's crazy ideas man, Marvelous Marvin) help News of the World re-launch after surviving a serious attempt on News of the World's life by Rupert, James and Rebekah...

J.D. TIPPIT
(1924-1963)
In Dallas, Texas there is a city memorial honoring the dedicated men and women of law enforcement who have given their lives in the line of duty. They are Dallas heroes - men and women whose strength of character endured the ultimate test. They leave family and friends who will forever wonder what might have been.
One of those so honored is J.D. Tippit, the 39-year-old father of three who was gunned down on an Oak Cliff side-street on November 22, 1963 - forty-five minutes after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The man arrested for Tippit�s murder was Lee Harvey Oswald, a 24-year-old employee of the Texas School Book Depository who was later accused of assassinating the President. The world press declared Tippit a hero for trying to stop Oswald�s escape. Sympathy and thousands of dollars in donations poured in from the heart of a grieving nation.
Two days later, in a dizzying culmination of violence, Oswald himself was murdered by nightclub owner, Jack Ruby. On Monday the twenty-fifth, amid rumors of conspiracy, the President, his accused assassin, and Dallas� faithful public servant were laid to rest.
Four decades of official investigations into the events of November 22nd have not squelched the curiosity of an increasingly distrustful nation. Conspiracy theorists have demonized all of the major players in this tragic drama - including the Dallas cop who was once called a hero. In the cynical world of conspiracy, Tippit is instead a cop on the take, paid to kill Oswald as part of an elaborate plot to overthrow the government.
To others, J.D. Tippit was just an ordinary man who through a chance encounter stumbled into history. But to those who knew him, J.D. Tippit embodied the essential ingredients of the American hero.
Tippit was born inClarksville,Red River County,Texas, to Edgar Lee Tippit, a farmer, and Lizzie Mae Rush. The Tippit and Rush families were ofEnglishancestry, their ancestors having immigrated toVirginiafrom England by 1635.[1]It is sometimes reported that J.D. stood for "Jefferson Davis", but in fact, the letters did not stand for anything in particular.[2]Tippit attended public schools through the tenth grade and was raised as aBaptist. He entered theUnited States Armyon July 21, 1944, and was assigned to the513th Parachute Infantry Regimentof theUS 17th Airborne Division. He saw combat inOperation Varsity, the airborne crossing of the Rhine River in March 1945, earning aBronze Star, and remained on active duty until June 20, 1946.
Tippit was married to Marie Frances Gasway on December 26, 1946, and the couple had three children (whose ages were 14, 10, and 5 at the time of his death[3]). That same year, he went to work for the Dearborn Stove Company. He next worked forSears, Roebuck and Companyin the installation department from March 1948 to September 1949, when he moved toLone Star, Texas, and attempted cattle raising.
Tippit attended aVeterans Administrationvocational training school atBogata, Texas, from January 1950 until June 1952. He was then hired by the Dallas Police Department as a patrolman on July 28, 1952. Officer Tippit served capably and was cited for bravery in 1956 for his role in disarming a fugitive.
At the time of his death, Tippit was assigned to Dallas Police vehicle #10, had badge #848 and was earning a salary of $5,880 a year as a Dallas police officer. He was also working two other part-time jobs.

Murder
On November 22, 1963, J.D. Tippit was working beat number 78, his normal patrol area in southOak Cliff, a residential area of Dallas.[4]At 12:45 p.m., 15 minutes after the President's assassination, Tippit received a radio order to move to the central Oak Cliff area as part of a concentration of police around the center of the city. At 12:54 Tippit radioed that he had moved as directed. By then several messages had been broadcast describing a suspect in the Kennedy assassination[5]as a slender white male, about 30 years old, 5 feet 10 inches (1.78 m) tall, and weighing about 165 pounds (75 kg).
According to the Warren Commission, at approximately 1:11–1:14 p.m.,[6]Tippit was driving slowly eastward on East 10th Street when — about 100 feet (30 m) past the intersection of 10th Street and Patton Avenue — he pulled alongside a man who resembled the broadcast description ofLee Harvey Oswald.[7][8]The man walked over to Tippit's car and apparently exchanged words with him through an open vent window.[9]Tippit opened his car door and as he walked toward the front of the car, the man drew a handgun and fired three shots in rapid succession, hitting Tippit three times in the chest. The man then walked up to Tippit's fallen body and fired a fourth shot directly into his head, fatally wounding him.[10]
The Warren Commission identified twelve people who witnessed the shooting,[11]or its aftermath.[12]Domingo Benavides saw Tippit standing by the left door of his parked police car, and a man standing on the right side of the car. He then heard shots and saw Tippit fall to the ground. Benavides stopped his pickup truck on the opposite side of the street from Tippit's car. He observed the shooter fleeing the scene and removing spent cartridge cases from his gun as he left. Benavides waited in his truck until the gunman disappeared before assisting Tippit. He then reported the shooting to police headquarters, using the radio in Tippit's car.[13]Helen Markham witnessed the shooting and then saw a man with a gun in his hand leave the scene.[14]Markham identifiedLee Harvey Oswaldas Tippit’s killer in a police lineup she viewed that evening.[15]Barbara Davis and her sister-in-law Virginia Davis heard the shots and saw a man crossing their lawn, shaking his revolver, as if he were emptying it of cartridge cases. Later, the women found two cartridge cases near the crime scene and handed the cases over to police. That evening, Barbara Davis and Virginia Davis were taken to a lineup and both Davises picked out Oswald as the man whom they had seen.[16]
Taxicab driver William Scoggins testified that he saw Tippit's police car pull up alongside a man on the sidewalk, as he his sat in his taxicab nearby. Scoggins heard three or four shots and then saw Tippit fall to the ground. As Scoggins crouched behind his cab, the man passed within twelve feet of him, pistol in hand, muttering what sounded to him like, "poor dumb cop" or "poor damn cop."[17]The next day, Scoggins viewed a police lineup and identified Oswald as the man whom he had seen with the pistol.[citation needed]
The Commission also named several other witnesses[18]who were not at the scene of the murder, but who claimed to have seen a man they later identified as Oswald running between the murder scene and theTexas Theater, where Oswald was subsequently arrested.[19]
Four cartridge cases were found at the scene by eyewitnesses. It was the unanimous testimony of expert witnesses before the Warren Commission that these spent cartridge cases were fired from the revolver in Oswald's possession to the exclusion of all other weapons.[20]
Since the Warren Commission Report was published in 1964, some researchers have alleged discrepancies in witness testimony and physical evidence which they believe calls into question the Commission's conclusions regarding the murder of Tippit. These critics cite evidence indicating that Oswald may have had an accomplice in the killing, or that possibly Tippit was killed by an assailant (or assailants) other than Oswald. According to Warren Commission criticJim Marrs, Oswald's guilt in the assassination of Kennedy is placed in question by the presence of "a growing body of evidence to suggest that [he] did not kill Tippit".[21]Others say that multiple men were directly involved in Tippit's killing. Conspiracy researcherKenn Thomashas alleged that the Warren Commission omitted testimony and evidence that two men shot Tippit and that one left the scene in a car.[22]
William Alexander, the Dallas assistant district attorney who had recommended that Oswald be charged with the Kennedy and Tippit murders, has also been critical of the Commission's version of the murder, stating that its conclusions on Oswald's movements "did not add up", and that "certainly, he may have had accomplices."[23]
Allegations regarding timeline
Some researchers, includingAnthony SummersandRobert Groden, point to evidence that Tippit's murder may have taken place earlier than the time given in the Warren Report.[24][25][26]The Warren Commission concluded that the shooting occurred at 1:16 p.m. from the police tapes that logged Domingo Benavides' use of the radio in Tippit's car. However, Benavides testified that he did not approach the car until "a few minutes" after the shooting, because he was afraid that the gunman might return.[27]He was assisted in using the radio by witness T.F. Bowley, who testified to Dallas police that he arrived at the scene after the murder, and that the time was 1:10 p.m.[28]
Some critics of the Warren Commission version believe that Oswald did not have sufficient time to travel the nine-tenths of a mile from his house to the scene where Tippit was killed.[29]The timing is of critical importance because, according to the Warren Commission, Oswald arrived at his rooming house at around 1:00 p.m.,[30]then left "3 or 4 minutes" later,[31]and was last seen by his housekeeper a moment later standing at the corner bus stop.[32]The Commission’s own test[33]and estimation of Oswald’s walking speed[34]demonstrated that one of the longer routes to the Tippit shooting scene took 17 minutes and 45 seconds to walk.[35]Additionally, no witness ever surfaced who saw Oswald walk from his rooming house to the murder scene.[36]
Witness Helen Markham initially told the FBI that the shooting occurred "possibly around 1:30 p.m.,"[37]but she later told the Warren Commission: "I wouldn't be afraid to bet it wasn't 6 or 7 minutes after 1."[38][39]Deputy Sheriff Roger Craig stated that when he heard the news that Tippit had been shot, he looked at his watch and noted that the time was 1:06 p.m. However, in a later statement to the press, Craig seemed unsure about the time of the shooting.[40]
Warren "Butch" Burroughs, who ran the concession stand at theTexas Theaterwhere Oswald was arrested, told authorJames Douglassin 2007 that Oswald came into the theater between 1:00 and 1:07 p.m., which if true would make Oswald's alleged 1:16 shooting of Officer J.D. Tippit impossible.[41]This was a claim that Burroughs had made earlier in the documentary,The Men Who Killed Kennedy.[42]
Allegations regarding witness testimony and physical evidence
Only two Commission witnesses were identified as actually having seen the shooting, Helen Markham and Domingo Benavides. Joseph Ball, senior counsel to the Commission, has referred to Markham's testimony as "full of mistakes," and characterized her as an "utter screwball."[43]
Domingo Benavides initially said that he did not think he could identify the assailant and was never asked to view a police lineup,[44]even though he was the person closest to the killing.[45]Benavides later testified that that the killer resembled pictures he had seen of Oswald.[46]Other witnesses were taken to police lineups. However, these lineups have been criticized as flawed in that they consisted of people who looked very different from Oswald. In one case, the lineup was composed of five "young teenagers" and Oswald.[47][48]
Additionally, certain witnesses who did not appear before the Commission identified an assailant who was not Oswald. Both Acquilla Clemons and Frank Wright witnessed the scene from their respective homes, within one block of the murder. Clemons saw two men near Tippit’s car just before the shooting.[49]After the shooting, she ran outside and saw a man with a gun whom she described as "kind of heavy." He waved to the second man, urging him to "go on".[50]Frank Wright also emerged from his home and observed the scene seconds after the shooting. He described a man standing by Tippit’s body who had on a long coat, and who quickly ran to a car parked nearby and drove away.[51][52][53]There have also been concerns about ballistic evidence and finger print evidence on the police car that seemed to make it less likely that Oswald was the killer.
Some researchers have questioned whether the cartridge cases recovered from the scene were the same as those that were subsequently entered into evidence. Two of the cases were recovered by witness Domingo Benavides and turned over to police officer J.M. Poe. Poe told the FBI that he marked the shells with his own initials, "J.M.P." to identify them.[54]Sergeant Gerald Hill later testified to the Warren Commission that it was he who had ordered police officer Poe to mark the shells.[55]However, Poe's initials were not found on the shells produced by the FBI six months later.[54][56][57]Testifying before the Warren Commission, Poe said that although he recalled marking the cases, he "couldn’t swear to it."[58][59]Poe later told researchers that he was absolutely certain that he had marked the shells.[60]The identification of the cartridge cases at the crime scene raises more questions. Sergeant Gerald Hill examined one of the shells and radioed the police dispatcher, saying: "The shell at the scene indicates that the suspect is armed with an automatic .38 rather than a pistol."[61]However, Oswald was reportedly arrested carrying anon-automatic .38 Special revolver.[62][63]The number of cartridge shells found at the crime scene raises further questions for some. Sergeant Gerald Hill, who took possession of Oswald's revolver upon his arrest, reported that the gun's six chambers were fully loaded with unspent cartridges and that Oswald had no ammunition on his person.[64]
Aftermath
On the evening of the assassination, both Attorney GeneralRobert F. Kennedyand the new President,Lyndon B. Johnson, called Tippit's widow to express their sympathies.[65]Jacqueline Kennedywrote a letter expressing sorrow for the bond they shared. The plight of Tippit's family also moved much of the nation and a total of $647,579 ($4.5 million in 2009) was donated to them following theassassination. One of the largest individual gifts was the $25,000 ($176,600 in 2009) thatAbraham Zapruderdonated after selling his film of the assassination.
A funeral service for J.D. Tippit was held on November 25, 1963, at the Beckley Hills Baptist Church, with the burial following at Laurel Land Memorial Park in Dallas.[65]His funeral occurred on the same day as those of bothKennedyand Oswald.[66][67]
In January 1964, Tippit was posthumously awarded the Medal of Valor from theAmerican Police Hall of Fame, and he also received the Police Medal of Honor, the Police Cross, and the Citizens Traffic Commission Award of Heroism.
Tippit's widow married Dallas police lieutenant Harry Dean Thomas in January 1967.

His housekeeper testified that "it must have been around 1 o'clock, or maybe a little after," but then concluded, "what time I wouldn't want to say." The Warren Commission estimated that Oswald arrived at his rooming house "about 12:59 to 1 p.m." (Warren Commission Report, Chapter 4: The Assassin, p. 163). TheHSCA, in its reconstruction of the event, concluded Oswald arrived at “approximately 12:55 P.M.” (HSCA Record 180-10115-10004, September 19, 1977, p. 2).^Testimony of Earlene Roberts, Warren Commission Hearings, vol. 6, p. 440.^Affidavit of Earlene Roberts, Warren Commission Hearings, vol. 7, p. 439, December 5, 1963.^Warren Commission Hearings, vol. 6, p.434,Testimony of William W.

The Warren Commission measured the distance from Oswald's rooming house to the site of Tippit's shooting as nine-tenths of a mile (1.4 km). A person walking at a pace of 4 miles (6.4 km) per hour would take 12 minutes 45 seconds to make the journey.

Yet Craig wrote in that same account,
At that exact moment [of the discovery of Oswald's rifle in theTexas School Book Depository] an unknown Dallas police officer came running up the stairs and advised Capt. Fritz that a Dallas policeman had been shot in the Oak Cliff area. I instinctively looked at my watch. The time was 1:06 p.m. A token force of uniformed officers was left to keep the sixth floor secure and Fritz, Day, Boone, Mooney, Weitzman and I left the building.
However, witness Seymour Weitzman testified to the Warren Commission that Oswald's rifle was not discovered until about 1:22 p.m. (Testimony of Seymour Weitzman, Warren Commission Hearings, vol. 7, p. 109) Craig gave an even later time for the Tippit shooting — 1:40 p.m. — in an interview with Penn Jones published in theLos Angeles Free Pressin March 1968.

Two eyewitnesses to the aftermath, Sam Guinyard and Ted Callaway, ran to 10th and Patton and found Tippit lying in the street beside his car. Callaway picked up Tippit's gun, which lay beneath him outside of the holster.

JFKA Toronto connection? 18 April 2007
Is this one of the assassins?
Were the Bronfmans involved?
Two important lessons to learn from the 9/11 attack:
1) The 9/11 "truth seekers" who get publicity or promotion areprotecting the Zionists; they are trying to deceive, control, and manipulate.
2) TheZionists played a major rolein the 9/11 attack. The other people are only in a supporting role, and may even have been duped into joining.
The JFK assassination seems to be exactly the same. Virtually all of the JFK "researchers" who get publicity are Zionist Deniers.
Ignore the primary JFK investigators
If there are any honest researchers in the JFK assassination, they are certainly in the same situation as Bollyn and Hufschmid; namely, they are ignored by most of the JFK investigators.
Mark Lane, a Jewish lawyer who works with theAmerican Free Press, has written books about the Kennedy assassination, and he was involved in the legal cases of other suspicious events.
Mary Moorman took a photograph of Kennedy as he drove by. A news reporter named Featherstone was extremely concerned about this photograph, and he took it from her. (If you have my book, Painful Questions, an Analysis of the September 11 Attack, you can find a description of this on page 143 under the title America's Free Press is a Disgrace)
If you realize that the Zionists are dominating the media, you must consider that Featherstone realized that Mary Moorman was in a location to get a photo of very critical evidence that would expose the Kennedy assassination as a scam. Apparently, it did not contain any damaging evidence, so he eventually returned it to her.
The photograph does not have much detail. The center portion of her photo is below, and a higher resolution, full size version ishere.
In the upper right corner of the Moorman photo, standing on the light-colored concrete wall, are Abraham Zapruder and a woman who is holding him steady as he films the assassination.
As I imply in my book, Zapruder wanted the woman to hold him steady because he was concerned that the numerous loud gunshots would cause him to tremble.
A PDF file of the 2 chapters on Kennedy are here: Hufschmid-Kennedy-chapters-only.pdf
(these chapters are actually my initial reaction to the Warren report, not an analysis of the JFK killing):
The Americans consider that day to be a tragedy, but to the Zionists it was just another successful event in the development of Israel and their takeover of the USA.
They wanted it documented for their historical records. Zapruder was equivalent to those five dancing Israelis who were documenting the event of September 11.
Info about the dancing Israelis: Bollyn-dancing-Israelis.html
A higher quality photograph of the same scene taken by a different photographer a few seconds earlier than the Mary Moormon photo is in a book by Robert Groden: www.jfkmurder.com/home.html
The important section of his photo is below:
Zapruder and the women are in the upper right corner, but in this photograph are two figures which appear to be men wearing hats standing behind the concrete wall.
Robert Groden's book has a photo (below) of a man reenacting the scene to show how the men would stand behind the concrete wall. This also shows that they had a nice view of the street.
Zapruder was standing close to these two men, and as he moved the camera to follow Kennedy down the street, it appears that one of the men can be seen in some of the frames.
At the bottom of frame # 413 of Zapruder's film, there appears to be a man with a hat among the vegetation (green arrow):
Robert Groden's book has a photo taken from Zapruder's position to help us understand frame # 413. By comparing the light poles and the signs on the light poles, you can see that the vegetation has been trimmed. Below is a close-up, and below that is a wide shot.
The witnesses to the assassination describe lots of gunshots, which implies there was more than one shooter.
Also, in my chapters on Kennedy in my book, I point out that most of the witnesses were certain that the shots were coming from this area, and that the witnesses said police were looking for bullet shells in that area.
It would appear that one or both of the two men behind the concrete wall may have been shooters. But who were they?
I cannot verify the following speculations. I put them out in the hope so that other people will come forward with information to verify or disprove them.
Was Lee Harvey Oswald in Mexico?
The official story says that Lee Harvey Oswald visited the Soviet Embassy in Mexico City.
This man is supposed to be Oswald at the Soviet Embassy in Mexico.
Either people are getting photographs mixed up, or this person was pretending to be Oswald.
Some people think he might be a Russian; some people think he was one of the shooters; and some people think his name is Jack (Forshaw?), from Toronto, Canada.
Robert Groden's book about Oswald has the photograph below of Jack Ruby's Carousel Club.
On the right side -- a close-up is below -- some people think the man #1 is Clyde Forshaw, the nephew of Jack Forshaw, and that he is worried about the photographer taking his photo.
Man #2 is Jack Ruby (yellow box shows Ruby in a similar position for comparison), and #3 is the Oswald double, not the Oswald who was arrested for the killing.
If the accusations are true that these two men are Clyde and Jack Forshaw from Toronto, that means some of the main assassins were brought in from Toronto, not France, Russia, or the CIA.
By the way, some people think Clyde was the man who shot officer Tippit.
Furthermore, since the Forshaws supposedly work for organized crime, not government agencies, then everybody who blames the assassination on the American government is either mistaken or deliberately lying.
Which of the many thousands of theories on JFK are correct? We may never know, but learn from 9/11: be suspicious of the people who are getting promotion as JFK investigators.
The mysterious plane crash of JFK Jr.
If the Toronto connection is correct, then we may have an explanation of what happened to JFK Jr.'s airplane.
On July 12, JFK Jr. flew his private plane to the small Buttonville Airport outside of Toronto to meet with officials of Magna International Inc., including vice-presidentKeith SteinandBelinda Stronach, daughter of the company's founder,Frank Stronach. www.cbc.ca/world/story/1999/07/19/pilot990719.html
Frank Stronachsupposedly arrived in America with no money. Today he is a billionaire in auto parts and horseracing. www.cbc.ca/lifeandtimes/stronach.html
Some newspapers were wondering about the relationship betweenBill Clintonand Frank Stronach's daughterBelinda, such asthis. She also denied other relationships, such asthiswith hockey player Tie Domi.
Why would an American president associate with billionaire families who have such suspicious friends and behavior?
The gambling businesses have always attracted organized crime, so we should consider the possibility that Stronach is involved in a crime network.
If Stronach's company is involved in organized crime, why would Kennedy fly to Toronto to meet with them? The official story is that Stronach was considering investing in Kennedy's magazine, which was not profitable.
Four days later, as he was flying his little airplane from the Essex County Airport in Fairfield, New Jersey back to his home city, the airplane crashed into the ocean. There are accusations that the tail of the plane broke off, although the official story is that Kennedy was a lousy pilot, at least compared to the pros, such as Hani Hanjour, who crashed into the Pentagon.
Here is the speculation I need help verifying:
• Frank Stronach and Keith Stein are involved in organized crime, and at a very high level.
• Stronach tricked Kennedy into visiting by pretending that he might invest in Kennedy's newspaper. He may have also have offered information about the JFK assassination. He insisted that Kennedy come up for a meeting because he didn't want to discuss it over the telephone.
• Stronach wanted Kennedy to fly into the small Buttonville airport outside of Toronto because there is very little security at small airports.
• Somebody put an explosive device in the airplane that would be activated by radio control. They waited until Kennedy was over the ocean, and then they set off the explosives and blew the tail off the airplane.
• If the photo of the man at the Mexican Embassy is Jack Forshaw from Toronto, and if the man in the other photo is his nephew, Clyde, then we should consider the possibility that the same Zionist gang that killed JFK also killed JFK Jr., and the Forshaw family are their hired assassins.
If this scenario is true, who would have hired the Forshaws? We many never know, but we should consider that theBronfmansare one of the key decision makers.
The Bronfman family is from Canada, and they initially became rich from their Seagram Company, which sells liquor.
The Bronfmans worked with Meyer Lansky and lots of other Jewish criminals, such as Arnold Rothstein, who owned gambling casinos in New York.
By the way, some people believe Rothstein has a relative,Murray, who changed his name to "Sumner Redstone" to hide the connection. We are foolishly allowing a member of this criminal gang to influence our view of the world.
Joe Kennedy was also involved in the sale of alcohol, but he was a rival with the Bronfman and Lansky gang.
Now consider that the rumors are true that John and Robert Kennedy:
• did not want to be part of organized crime; actually, they wanted to arrest the criminals.
• wanted to get the Rothschilds and other families out of the American monetary system.
• wanted to stop Israel from developing nuclear weapons
• were standing up to Henry Kissinger and Walt Whitman Rostow, who wanted the Vietnam War
• were forcing J. Edgar Hoover -- of the Federal Bureau of Israel -- to clamp down on organized crime rather than continue to pretend that there is no such thing as organized crime
• did not want to fake the Apollo moon landing
Even if only some of these rumors are true, you can see that there would be thousands of Zionists and other criminals who would want to kill the Kennedys.
The Bronfman family rules over a large Zionist criminal enterprise. Toronto seems to be a center for organized crime, and not just Jewish gangs, but Italian, Vietnamese, and who knows how many others.
The Bronfmans have had decades of experience with crime, so they are easily capable of arranging complex murders. They also control a lot of politicians, such as the McCain family, and their Zionist friends in the media will help cover up their crimes.
John McCain and other officials should dress in the appropriate manner so that we don't mistake them for independent humans.
They always “Blame the Gooooys!”
Most of the 9/11 truth seekers and Kennedy investigators blame the Goyim.... the Goy in the CIA, the Goy in the Pentagon, the Goy in the New World Order.
Over and over and over, it's always the same story. “The Goy did it!”
But the evidence shows that it's the Zionists in the Pentagon, the Zionists in the FBI, the Zionists in the media, the Zionists in the government.
We are suckers, fools, jerks, and losers if we continue to allow these Zionists to instigate wars, blow up levees in New Orleans, and fabricate Holocaust stories. Are the police or citizens ever going to get fed up with organized crime?
If the citizens would stop going to horse races, strip clubs, and movie theaters, and if they would stop buying newspapers, magazines, and drugs, they could drive these criminal gangs into financial difficulty, and then maybe the hired assassins would turn on their masters.

Toronto has a lot of wealth

LONDON OLYMPICS 2012 & ZION
http://WWW.VISIONREPORTWATCH.COM 3
Welcome to the Vision Report Watch
The 2012 London Summer Olympics marks the first time a city has hosted the coveted spectacle on three different occasions. The first was in 1908 and the second in 1948 after a delay owing to World War II. Then, like now, the event was mired in controversy before it had even begun. The bid process for the 2012 Olympics got off to an inauspicious start when London unveiled its Olympic logo on 4 June 2007.
Those who did not ridicule it expressed their bemusement at its amateurish design, despite the fact that it cost £400,000.
Then came the controversy over its overtly, some would say brazen, depiction of the word 'Zion' in the numbers 2012,complete with a dot over the 'i'. Proponents of the logo's hidden associations believe the emotive word signals the start of a New World Order, and the London Olympics will be its stage.
Further suspicion was raised in what amounted to a surprise selection of London as the 2012 Summer Olympic host city. Paris had been the heavy favourite, but on 6 July 2005 the International Olympic Committee announced that London had won.
The face of the former Olympic champion and London 2012 bid Chairman, Lord Coe, said it all. He appeared stunned. Coe and his team not only jumped for joy, but were also startled by the news. It was later revealed that some of the votes may have been placed 'in error'.
Tragically, London's celebration was abruptly curtailed the very next day, 7 July, when a series of alleged suicide attacks occurred on three London underground trains and one bus during the morning rush hour.
Four UK resident Islamists were identified as the guilty terrorists. Each was killed in the blasts, along with 48 other commuters, and more than 700 others were injured.
Disturbingly, survivors commented on how the explosions came from under the seats of the
trains.
Inexplicably, no formal inquest was held, due to the fact that an investigation would, in the words of Prime Minister, Tony Blair, “undermine support” for the British Intelligence Agency MI5.
Were the bombings a form of retaliation for the IOC’s selection, or was there another motive? Many believe they were an inside job and that we should expect another ‘False Flag’ at the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games.
London’s 2012 Olympic odyssey continued on 19 May 2010, when the Games’ official
mascots were introduced. two peculiar looking metallic figures by the names of Wenlock and Mandeville. One is blue and the other orange, and each has one eye. Curiously, each looks more like an alien caricature from a 1950s B-movie than a collection of molten steel consumed during the construction of the Olympic stadium that they are supposed to represent.
So with this month heralding the beginning of the London 2012 Olympics why has the Vision Report Watch
decided to focus on this subject?
Its because of a specific set of circumstances that occurred in 2008 involving someone called Rik Clay.
Many of you may not be aware of the case surrounding Rik Clay. Rik Clay was a young researcher into conspiracy, symbolism and synchromysticism (his blog was named The Cosmic Mind) who apparently took his own life after an adrenal breakdown.
After Rik Clay went public with his work on the popular Red Ice Creations
Radio show in 2008, he went missing a few days later.
Everything connected to Rik’s work was removed and a few weeks later Rik Clay was found dead.
Rik’s friends who had published back up’s of his blog took them down and refused to discuss it any further stating they were scared.
Many observers believe that if Rik was murdered, then somewhere in his work, he must have hit a central nerve.
One of Clay’s
most provocative conclusions was his suggestion that the 2012 Olympic site in the United Kingdom was being prepared as the New Jerusalem by the New World Order. Clay along with others such as Ian Crane believed it was highly probable that the 2012 London Olympics would be meant to be the stage for a false-flag terror attack, a UFO/alien type event, or some other such large scale manipulation
Clays work was documented in a report known as “London, Olympics 2012: Zion” which we will present in its entirety for you to review. We may not entirely agree with everything that Clay states or
represents, for instance his theology of the universe is bizarre which he has written about elsewhere is certainly at odds with the biblical world view of life and the universe. However it his views on the London 2012 Olympics which catch our interest as there is certainly some material which makes a good starting point
for further research on whether there is a underlining masonic influence behind the worlds greatest sporting event.
When the logo for the London Olympics was unveiled in June 2007 at the cost of £400,000 there was
significant public uproar due to both the cost and how terrible it looked. Despite public pressure, the
International Olympic Committee stood fast on keeping the logo, with no flexibility. In other words, this
particular logo was very important. Why?
There are many interpretations spread about the net, all intended to dissolve the true symbolic meaning
behind the logo. It has been claimed to look like a swastika, a runner and even Lisa Simpson but these
are all ridiculous diversions.
On first glance you can easily make out the numbers 2012, but why the random 'dot'? Here's why. Are
we to believe that the London 2012 Olympics are going to facilitate the implementation of Zion - the 'New
Jerusalem'?
To recite William Blake's poem 'Jerusalem':
And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England's mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On
England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the Countenance Divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded
here
Among these dark Satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold: Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire.
I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Till we have built Jerusalem In England's
green and pleasant land.
An 18th century writer, artist and esotericist, William Blake had connections with Freemasonry. Was this
early work a declaration of the esoteric agenda, for all to see? After all he was 'involved'.
1.1. LONDON OLYMPICS 2012: ZION: STREET PLAN
I shall start by stating my intentions. With my research, I do not intend to cause panic or fear, or to create
a platform for prejudice and hate. I publish these views in order to simply raise awareness. To raise
awareness on the grounds, that if indeed something does transpire
during the London Olympics 2012,
you can observe the event with a critical eye. It is my intention to ensure we shall not be duped!
LONDON OLYMPICS 2012 & ZION
http://WWW.VISIONREPORTWATCH.COM 6
Following my two previous articles concerning the Olympics 2012, I decided to cast my eyes into the air
and look down again. You guessed it, out came Google Maps.
Here's a map and satellite view of the Olympics 2012 Site. Zoom in and take a look:
Stratford in London, is to
become host to the Olympic village, which is undergoing massive regeneration
due to the project. The site was claimed to be the last area of suitable waste land in London. Pretty lucky
eh? Or maybe it was left alone for years for this very reason! I choose the latter. And so... to the point.
Take a look at the Olympic site with the Google Maps road view. On a first glance it looks like any other
map view, but persevere... take a closer look at the road names.
You will find that the entire site of the Olympic Village is surrounded by somewhat biblical and mystical
road names. The New Jerusalem you ask? 1.2. THE ROADS
1. East Cross Route (actually the A12 or A'20'12) : ref. "The
Eastern Cross"
The Eastern Orthodox cross (also known as Crux Orthodoxa, the Byzantine cross, the Eastern cross,
and the "Russian" cross) can be considered a modified version of the Patriarchal cross, having two
smaller crossbeams, one at the top and one near the bottom, in addition to the longer crossbeam.
Notice how the East Cross Route is also an A road - numbered A12.
Given the UK has hundreds of A roads, what's the likelihood that of all roads, the
A'20'12 intersects the Olympic site?
Pause for a second and think about the shape of the letter A... yes it's a pyramid with a capstone. So
symbolically the only major road which 'crosses' the Olympic site, is the A(Pyramid)
(20)12.
2. Carpenter's Road: ref. "Joseph"
Joseph's profession is described in the Gospels as a τεκτων, a Greek word for a variety of skilled
craftsmen, but Christian tradition has him as a "carpenter".
3. Great Eastern Road: ref. Eastern Star
The Order of the Eastern Star is the largest fraternal organization in the world that both men and women
can join. It was established in 1850 by Rob Morris, a lawyer and educator who had been an official with
the Freemasons.
Logo Of The Order Of The Eastern Star
As you can see the emblem for the "Order Of The Eastern Star" is a pentagram - similar to that found on
the UK Passport. An acknowledgement of the pagan deity Satan / Saturn.
4. Angel Lane: ref. Angel Gabriel / The Holy Spirit
Angels visit Joseph and Mary. Angels announced Christ's birth to Mary and Joseph. The angel Gabriel
visited Mary in Nazareth. She was engaged to Joseph. Gabriel told Mary she would give birth to the Son
of God. Mary was a virgin. Gabriel told her God's power would make the conception possible. Gabriel
said, "Nothing will be impossible with God".

5. Temple Mills Lane
Temple Mills were water mills belonging to the Knights Templar - "The Poor Fellow- Soldiers of Christ
and of the Temple of Solomon".
6. Church Road (Update)
Although not shown on the above map (but please do look in Google), the road on the north east
perimeter of the complex takes it's name from the Christian place of worship, a church.
1.3. THE LOCATION - LEY LINES
The Olympics 2012 site is situated between Leyton and Leytonestone. The "Ley" found in their names
originates from the term
'Ley lines'. For those who are in the dark:
Ley lines, or Leys, are alignments of ancient sites stretching across the landscape. Ancient sites or holy
places may be situated in a straight line ranging from one or two to several miles in length. A ley may be
identified simply by an aligned placing of marker sites, or it might be visible on the ground for all or part
of its length by the remnants of an old straight track.
Our ancestors knew that ley lines, earth grids and vortexes were energy sources and centers that were
to be considered holy.
A "Ley Line" is one a number of lines which form part of an energy grid which cross the Earth. The
energy - metaphysical in
nature.
So is there any documentary proof that 'Ley lines' cross near Leyton and Leytonestone? You bet there
is... The bender site, and the old yew tree in it, were the short-lived heart of Leytonstonia, decorated with a
kerb-henge, a replica of Stonehenge made with kerbstones. (Some talked of the significance of the
names Leyton and Leytonstone, of their relation to ley lines more generally, as though this might explain
the energy of the protest sites. A brickhenge was made at Clarement Road, halfway between Leyton and
Leytonstone.)
The Olympics site lies in an area synonymous with mystical - metaphysical - earth energy. Is this yet another coincidence or part of a plan for the 2012 Olympics which was put into motion way before the event was officially finalised?
1.4. LONDON OLYMPICS 2012 : THE LOGO'S CREATOR
Above: London 2012 Olympic Games Logos....
To further my coverage of the Olympics 2012 and the plans for a 'false flag' / fake alien invasion (or an event on the scale of biblical second coming), we have to go back to the very roots of the Olympics 2012 brand and logo.
The brand was designed by Wolff Olins - a brand consultancy based in London and New York. They ] have been responsible for the brand design work behind GE Capital, Sony Ericsson, Unilever and
(RED). The company was founded in Camden Town, London, in 1965 by
designer Michael Wolff and advertising executive Wally Olins. Wolff left the business in 1983, and Olins in 2001, though both are still active in the field of branding.
From 1965 to the early 1990s, Wolff Olins played a central part in developing the craft of corporate identity in Europe and working with over 500 organizations worldwide. Among his clients were Audi,
Apple records, P&O, Renault, 3i, Pilkington
and Volkswagen. The current designs for Shell and BP are also some of Wolff Olins work. Is it a coincidence that the Olympics logo can resemble the word 'Zion', and that, on the website of the agency who created the logo, you can find the word 'Sion'? No. This can't happen by chance.
Zion (Hebrew: ציון%, tziyyon; Tiberian vocalization: tsiyyôn;) transliterated Zion or Sion
Of the two founders, Wally Olins became the real success story. Wally Olins is generally recognised to be the world’s most experienced practitioner of corporate identity and branding. Given this, I felt a few Googles were required to see what else could be found on Wally Olins .Take a trip to the British
Library
Archival Sound Recordings, and you will find an audio interview with the man himself.
Wally Olins born London 19 December 1930. Father Alfred Olins; Mother Rachel Muskowicz, both born in London in 1896 into Jewish immigrant families escaping pogroms in Eastern Europe in the 1880's and 90's. Talks about parents' European origins. Briefly describes mother's family background through memories of grandmother living with them. Father second son of large family who developed a road transport business. Wally Olins talks of mother having mental health problems and the impact this had on his parents' marriage and the family in general as well as on himself. Describes his
father's successful role in family business. Talks about father persuading him to become a Freemason and its triggering a recognition of insider/outsider issues and their relationship to his drives and ambitions.
It just so turns out that Wally's father was a Freemason and, more than likely, he's one too. And you wonder why it is, that many of the corporate logos you see plastered around our cities, contain the 'All Seeing Eye' and hidden occult symbology - well here is your answer. Everything is connected so to speak.
The designers behind some of Europe's major corporate brands have been and still are, educated in esoteric and occult philosophies. Wally Olins
may have left the Wolff Olins brand consultancy in 2001, ruling him out as the designer of the 2012 logo, but ask yourself this - would he leave the company which bears his name in such un-educated hands? Or is it more than likely that he found the perfect replacements to continue his legacy?
So to summarise, the man behind the company responsible for the Olympics 2012 logo was involved in Freemasonry.
Do you believe that the logo for the 2012 Olympics Games is still so innocent? 1.5. THE 2012 STADIUM DESIGN VIDEO
Hypothetically speaking, if 2012 is to see London established as the 'New Jerusalem' for a New World Order (a global government under
a one world religion)... how could this be achieved?
We can safely assume that a stereotypical terrorist attack is no longer sufficient to implement a global unification strategy. In essence an event is required with the magnitude of a biblical second coming, a threat from outer-space - or even both? An event with the capacity to create all as 'one'.
In the film Fight Club, a scene depicts Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) inserting a frame of pornography into a movie whilst the audience in the cinema watch. Most of them don't notice it on a conscious level, but they did see it and it did enter their brains. This demonstrates how subliminal programming works on the subconscious, and it happens to all of us -
everyday.
A video released by the 2012 Olympic Committee depicts the construction phases of the new Olympic stadium. (Do a search on Youtube on “London 2012 Olympic Stadium Insight Promo” to see the video) Since when was the London Olympics affiliated with small flying saucers, projected "blue energy" beams, a big 'Independence Day' style mothership and huge robotic street walkers? Who came up with this concept?
Time stamps of note in the 4:52 youtube video.
0.40 minutes = 11:11 symbology with the 4 chimneys
1.00 minutes = UFO's flying around the London "All Seeing Eye"
1.40 minutes = Independence Day style mothership
2.00 minutes = Robotic street walkers in the streets of London
3.51 minutes = Three flashes of an Athletes head with sunglasses. At first glance it looks like an Alien
face! and played at normal speed acts as a blatant subliminal.
This video serves one purpose - to plant a seed in your mind! and adds more fuel to the fire for the
proposed "Project Bluebeam"
1.6. THE 1972 MUNICH OLYMPICS CONNECTION
The Wikipedia page for the 2012 London Olympics draws a strange comparison between the 2012 logo
and the logo used for the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany.
"BBC Sport acknowledged that 'London 2012’s new logo has got the country talking', and compared
the
innovative design to that of the logos of Mexico 1968 and Munich 1972"
The 1972 Munich Olympics were host to the first 'official' global terrorist attack, in which 11 Israelis were
killed by Black September (the 9th month - 9/11), a group with ties to Yasser Arafat’s Fatah organization.
The Olympics were host to 121 countries. Returning to pyramid numerology and the significance of the number 11:
1234321 = 11:11 x 11:11
121 countries = 11:11
11 fatalities
In
essence, the 1972 Munich Olympics provided the first world stage for global terrorism and the inclusion of the significant number '11' was anything but a coincidence.
1.7. THE 1984 LOS ANGELES OLYMPICS VIDEO
The year '1984' has become synonymous with the George Orwell book of the same name. "1984 is about life in a dictatorship as lived by Winston Smith, an intellectual worker at
the Ministry of Truth, and his degradation when he runs afoul of the totalitarian government of Oceania."
This famous novel introduced the concept of 'Big Brother', symbolised by an "All Seeing Eye", and in recent years has been the basis for the reality TV show. At its core, '1984' represented life under
the New World Order:
1.8. WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH\
'1984' has become a talisman of fear for the people of England, Europe and the rest of the world. It makes sense that, today, those deliberately disseminating fear around the globe would use that talisman against us.
The '1984' Los Angeles Olympics marked an opportunity for such a symbolic event. The closing ceremony for the 1984 Olympics involved a UFO flying over the Olympic
stadium and communicating with the audience. The UFO eventually lands, amid smoke and lights, at which point an alien steps out and greets the public.
Considering the 1984 Olympics had no other connections to UFO and alien phenomena, the only logical reasoning as to why this happened was again to plant a
seed in the publics mind and to judge our reaction.
1.9. THE OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY & THE RELIGION OF THE NWO
With the recent commotion over the torch relay for the 2008 Beijing Olympics you'd be forgiven for asking why we even bother with it? Any responsible committee would have halted the parade after it
became obvious it was being followed by violent protests. But no, we had to remain 'in the Olympic spirit' and presume that the keeping of a long- running tradition was so important that a little police brutality and a few hundred arrests were mere necessities.
Tibet's been in an international dilemma for nearly 60 years since China sent in thousands of troops in 1950. Over the decades, several uprisings have been violently quashed by Chinese authorities, with many monks arrested or killed. The latest of these
was in March 2008 and the outcome was once again predictable. China accused Tibet's exiled "spiritual leader" the Dalai Lama of masterminding the violence – an accusation that should sound ludicrous for anyone who knows who the Dalai Lama is. The press then used the violence to aggravate global disapproval of
China.
Conveniently the torch relay followed in the same month, and we were shown daily footage of "Free Tibet" supporters being rugby-tackled and beaten, all around the world, and this time none of us could avoid feelings of empathy and outrage.
Like with any clear theme in the media, questions must be asked as to the agenda - to whose advantage is a world of powerless pro-Tibetans? My alarm bells started ringing when I heard George W. Bush make comments in support of the movement. With this political
support, and apparent propaganda campaigns
benefiting from global compassion for "Free Tibet"?
like the
US-backed pro-Tibet radio station Radio Free Asia, and calls for a
boycott of the 2008 Olympics from celebrity actor- turned-activist
Richard Gere, I started wondering how might our governments be Historically, Tibet has long captured the West's imagination as the site of a mystical Utopia. This is
fundamentally due to the Tibetan Monks' practice of Buddhism. Tibetan Buddhism is both non-violent and non-dogmatic and uses meditation as a means to attaining a higher spiritual understanding.
Buddhism is different to Christianity in that it is not centred on a 'God' and is aimed at gaining insight into life's true
nature. The Buddhist believes there are 7 chakras in the human body of which four are of particular importance.
Hearing of the Tibetan plight on the news every day for a month, I couldn't help but think that there in itself lies an agenda. Western news channels successfully manage to feed the population's
consciousness with fear and negativity in an effort to distort the reality around us. They are used as emotional tools providing the 'elite' with a powerful method of control. I have learnt they are not to be trusted, but there is a great deal to be learned from them.
1.10. THE RELIGION OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER
First and foremost, I would like you to consider the Tibetan
flag. Symbolically you could say that Tibet
became the blueprint for a religion based on 'spiritual sun worship'. Given that the 14th Dalai Lama
predominantly takes refuge in Western countries, you could assume that he is in 'the inner circle of those
in the know', given the 'sun' symbolism attributed to him.
Like any country, Tibet still has a class hierarchy and its religious leaders. With rumours abound that
those on the bottom rungs still suffer in tremendous poverty, it becomes apparent that the last 'spiritual'
hope in the world, still abides to a pyramidal power structure.
As I explained in my other post : Beijing Olympics 2008 : Zion & The Fifth World : BeiBei, the
blue
mascot for the Olympics 2008, represents spirit and is the only one to have a spiritual third eye. This
correlates with the blue Olympic Ring, which represents the new cycle of time of which we are moving
into.
One of my very first posts, involved the discovery of a spiritual chakra system in the UK Passport (sealed
with inverted pentagrams). Who is responsible for this if not our own government or royal figures?
To take this one step further, you can look to the Bible (a road map depicting the plan for a 'New Order
Of The Ages') for answers. The Book of Revelations makes numerous references to the 'seven seals'.
This is again symbolic for the seven
chakras.
You could even look to the Mayan prophecies for more clues... In a prophecy written in 1560, a Mayan
high priest wrote: "There 'the masters of our souls' arrived... there the counties were distributed to their chiefs. There we
began to learn the holy faith. There water began to enter our heads. There were laid the foundations of
the high church. The palace of God, the virtuous open house of God. There the principle of the seven
sacraments was founded."
Simply replace sacraments with chakras.
And this is where I propose that the religion of the New World Order, is indeed that of spirituality, but
spirituality based on a power
pyramid of oppression, based on the ascendancy of a 'false messiah' who
is going to be declared the 'Son of God', the 'Return of the King'! piritual hierarchy. With our current capitalist society on the edge of collapsing under its own weight, it
becomes clear that civilisation founded upon the principles of spirituality - not greed - is crucial for the
survival of our home planet.
You may be aware of the Georgia Guidestones. Known as A Guide stone For The Future of Humanity
these stones were erected by an elusive character called RC Christian (with clear links to Christian
Rosencrantz - founder of the Rosicrucians). Take note of the 3rd commandment for a new age which
is
found on the stones: Found in the UK Passport issued in 1998, on a page entitled "This page is reserved for official
observations, if any" followed by the French equivalent and "(11)". This image means nothing to joe
public, but the designers surely meant something by this. Now for the interesting part... I'm sure you're all
familiar with the spiritual chakra system:
Look at the descending order of the chakras (image above to the right) and remember the specific
locations of the heart chakra and the solar plexus chakra. Observe this:
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
How do you propose, with our multi-lingual
planet, that we could phase out all but one language, unless
indeed this refers not to a spoken language, but to telepathy?
1.11. CHAKRAS IN THE UK PASSPORT - SEALED WITH PENTAGRAMS
NOTE. This blog does not insinuate the spiritual chakra system is Satanic, but it does reveal that the
chakra system hidden from view in the UK passport is sealed with the sign of Satan.
To further my investigation into British Royalty and the symbolism of the New World Order, I would like to
draw your attention to this image. (Below left found on all British Passports issued since 1998) shape and a bright star, as are the remaining 5 chakra's of the
body.
Remember
that 11:11x11:11 = 1234321. Why is there a random
number 11 on this page?
And to complete the design, we have not one, but two 5 sided
pentagonal flowers. In between the flower petals are 5 angular
points... join the dots and you have two pentagrams - the seal of
Satan!
So as a full image interpretation, you have a human chakra
system on an observations page in the UK Passport containing
the number 11, sealed by two pentagrams, the sign of Satan.
This design can also be found on the passport photo, as the
hologram, where the seal of Satan sits appropriately on your
third
eye chakra.
If you have read my previous post deciphering the British Coat Of Arms (found on the front of the UK
Passport) you may be starting to wake up! Since when did the UK Government and Monarchy
acknowledge the chakra system in the first place? Never...
CONCLUSION
It seems the Olympics 2012 site was picked for reasons which go far beyond that of 'spare waste land'.
The roads which encompass the site, contain biblical and Masonic references, lying dormant for years,
as if to become part of some majestic ritual.
And if that wasn't enough, a new construction intersecting 'Angel Lane' looks to be forming a
grand
procession. In the BBC interview "It will be a lasting legacy" with Jean Pickering, the former Olympic
bronze medallist was quoted as saying:
I remember running along Angel Lane to get the train to work and hearing all the market stall holders
cheering me on. That's true East End spirit.
References to 'lasting legacy', 'Angel Lane', and 'true spirit' sound ominous to me, given our 'Zion' street
map.
Britain's spiritual landmarks - Stonehenge, Glastonbury Tor and Avebury, all rest upon 'ley lines' (areas
of intense earth energy). Could it be any more bewildering that they have chosen such a site for our
Olympic games? And
that it just so happened to be vacant for the occasion? LONDON OLYMPICS 2012 & ZION

2. BEIJING OLYMPICS 2008: ZION & THE FIFTH WORLD
• On 5th May 2005, Tony Blair held a UK general election, which secured him another 3 years in
power. (555)
• On 6th June 2006, everyone expected a day of the devil. Nothing happened. (666)
• On 7th July 2007, Al Gore organised a series of concerts around the world, initiating a 3 year
campaign to combat
climate change. (777)
At Live Earth, not only did the audience take part in a 'sun worship' ritual during the opening number to
'Genesis' (credits to Matthew Delooze for his brilliant work on 'Breaking The Serpent Spell'):
We were also treated to a fantastic finale by our lady 'Madonna' (unfortunately she didn't perform her
crucifixion act): Are you starting to see a pattern here? It appears that numerologically significant days of the year
entertain events controlled by 'the governing powers'. With all the commotion surrounding the Beijing
Olympics, it's hard to remember why we actually do these events... maybe it's because of what they
symbolically represent.
"There are many myths surrounding the origin of the ancient Olympic Games. The most popular legend describes
that Heracles was the creator of the Olympic Games, and built the Olympic stadium and surrounding buildings as
an honor to his father Zeus, after completing his 12 labours. The Olympics were of fundamental religious
importance, contests alternating with sacrifices and ceremonies honouring both Zeus (whose colossal statue stood
at Olympia), and Pelops, divine hero and mythical king of Olympia."
So you could say that the Olympic Games, at the very least, are a pagan event honouring Zeus 'King Of
The Gods' or the 'creator' if you like. Makes you wonder what his '20'12 labours
were?
Moving swiftly on to Beijing 2008, let's take a look at the logo With a little 'cut and paste' (taking elements from the suprisingly 'unathletic' figure for an Olympic logo),
this can be written as:
Isn't that what the 2012 London Olympics logo says too?
LONDON OLYMPICS 2012 & ZION
http://WWW.VISIONREPORTWATCH.COM 17
You bet it is! What are the chances? Two Olympic games in succession where the logo contains
the
word 'Zion'. Is it me or is this something that just doesn't happen by chance? Here lies every insinuation
that, between the years of 2008 and 2012, there is a 4-year plan for the creation of 'Zion', a 'New
Jerusalem'.
Let's delve deeper... You may recall that sometime last year the Beijing Olympic Committee unveiled the
5 mascots for the Olympics. The date for this was, are you ready?
11th November 2007. Yes... 11th of the 11th, or 11:11.
"A set of five doll mascots for the 2008 Olympic Games were unveiled in Beijing on November 11,
exactly 1,000 days before the event's opening ceremony." xin_4411031616391521020167
Here's the little critters... all 5 of them, coloured just like the Olympic rings. Ignore their pyramidal hats for
a moment because there's something much weirder going on here...
You may recall my interpretation of the Olympic rings a month or two back, but to repeat - symbolically
each of the rings represents one of the 5 cycles of time which the Mayan calendar comprises. Each ring
connects to one other... giving the impression that a new cycle starts before the end of an old... a
transition period so to speak - a bit like the one we're in now (1992-2012), the 'time of no-time', according
to the Mayans.
Without further ado, here's the
official stance on the Beijing 2008 mascots:
Nini (green): Wind. Every spring and summer, the children of Beijing have flown beautiful kites on the
currents of wind that blow through the capital. YingYing (orange): Animal. Like all antelopes, Yingying is fast and agile and can swiftly cover great
stretches of land as he races across the earth.
Huanhuan (red): Fire. He is the "big brother". He is a child of fire, symbolizing the Olympic
Flame.
Jingjing (black): Nature. Symbolizing the lush forest and the harmonious relationship between man and
nature.
BeiBei (blue): Water. Strong in water sports, she reflects the blue Olympic ring. Take note of
BeiBei, the
blue mascot representing water:
What's that on BeiBei's forehead? A 'spiritual' third eye?
If you order the mascots, just like the Olympic rings - red (fire), green (wind), black (nature), orange
(animal), blue (spirit), a pattern emerges describing what could be seen as the evolution of consciousness as taught in esoteric circles.
Mineral / Element > Plant > Animal > Human > ... (into spirit?)
Coma > Deep Sleep > Dreaming > Waking > ... If the Olympic mascots and official logo do indeed correlate with the five 5125 year cycles of the Mayan
Calendar and the evolution of consciousness, does the arrival of 2012 bring
about the transition into the spiritual consciousness of the 'blue' Olympic ring, leaving the 'orange' ring of animal consciousness behind?
To further correlate the significance behind the 'blue' ring, and to draw a link to the London Olympics 2012:
"In the past few weeks an 11-mile blue fence has sprung up around the 2012 Olympics site in east London. Is it a necessary security measure - or a reminder of how divisive the games are?" Please read to see how significant the 'blue' fence is!
With the ritual use of the number 11, and the colour blue... it appears the Olympic Games is the perfect demonstration of how our
governments can get things right if they really want to!
How does this all tie in? As Rik Clay and Justin Stephens have announced, it is their belief that come the Olympics 2012, we are going to see one of the largest hoaxes ever perpetrated on man. With the rife symbolism in the promotional material, it can be assumed that people at the very top have an acute understanding of what is about to happen to our planet.
The Beijing Olympics slogan: "ONE WORLD ONE DREAM"
The premise of spiritual ascension, the opening of our third eyes and telepathic powers all sound exhilarating and beyond belief, but what if this is real and our impending reality is everything we've
dreamed
of?
Do you suppose that the ruling powers who have domineered over us for eternity are likely to let that one slip, or is it more than likely they are going to try and hijack it and dupe the public into believing that it is they who are responsible? A biblical, angelic event powered by a 'Project Blue Beam' anyone? The scene is set... it just depends on what their dream is.
2.1. THE 2008 BEIJING OLYMPICS TORCH RELAY
The Dalai Lama's recent actions, involving China and the Olympic Games, are all part of an intended
plan to bring 'sun worship' and 'spirituality' to the forefront of everyone's mind. There are numbers and
dates
surrounding the Olympic Torch relay and the foreign relations between the Dalai Lama and China,
which insinuate a much greater plan is
taking place! But first, the Olympic flame...
THE ORIGINS OF THE OLYMPIC FLAME
The Olympic Torch today is ignited several months before the opening celebration of the Olympic
Games at the site of the ancient Olympics in Olympia, Greece. Eleven women, representing the roles of
priestesses, perform a ceremony in which the torch is kindled by the light of the Sun, its rays
concentrated by a parabolic mirror.
THE MODERN DAY TORCH RELAY
The 1936 Games were the first to employ the torch run. This was the 11th modern day
Olympiad. The
games were opened by Adolf Hitler in Berlin, Nazi Germany. Incidentally, Adolf Hitler came to power in
1933 (33 degrees of Freemasonry anyone?).
The Flame Passes Through Lhasa, Tibet 2008
"The Olympic torch is set to pass through the Tibetan capital, Lhasa, on June 20-21. Chinese government officials
have confirmed their plans to continue despite the ongoing protests and crackdown across ethnic Tibetan areas."
Yes that's right, the Olympic Flame which is lit by the 'sun' passes through Lhasa in Tibet on the Summer
Solstice - the sun of most high! The Dalai Lama's Visit To The UK in 2008
The Dalai Lama began an 11-day visit to Britain Tuesday, including talks with
Prime Minister Gordon
Brown who faces a delicate balancing act of supporting Tibetan rights while not offending China. Source So as you can see here, the history of the Olympic Torch relay and the Dalai Lama's recent actions are
compounded with number 11 - sun worshipping symbolism...
Oh and we mustn't forget that the Olympic Torch symbolises our 'veiled' moon Goddess - Isis (as seen
here, 'starring' as the Statue Of Liberty in Escape From New York and holding the flame which
represents the Sun God 'Nimrod' also known as 'Baal' - more info here):
This also relates to the origins of the Christian/Pagan celebration of 'Easter'- (info here) which derives
from Babylonian/Sumerian
times, thousands of years before the so called birth of Christ!
2.2. 'XXX' EXPLAINED - OLYMPICS, PORN AND THE PROOF
Today a new realisation hit me, with regard to the significance and true meaning behind the sequence of
letters 'XXX'.
As most will be aware, 'XXX' permeates our lives in a multitude of ways:
* The London 2012 Olympic Games (XXX Olympiad)
* Pornography
* Kisses on a letter, e-mail or greetings card
* 'Britain's Got Talent' or 'America's Got Talent' TV Show (for the few who still watch TV!)
* In the cinema (xXx with Vin Diesel)
* A certain someone's birthday in 2012
Imagine for a moment,
that when you've been showing respect, releasing emotion and energy to any of
the above 'XXX' sequences, you have been feeding the biggest occult agenda known to man. An
agenda which will bring about the spiritual ascen'sion' of the world under a 'false messiah' known as the
'Son Of God'.
Now imagine for a moment, it's all true...
THE 'X' OLYMPICS
It is my belief that the 2012 London Olympic Games (XXX Olympiad) are going to witness a pre-planned
'alien visitation' alongside the anointment of an 'end times' messiah.
Our focus here is the letter 'X', so let's take a look at two previous Olympic games: XX Olympiad - The Munich Summer Olympics of 1972
LONDON OLYMPICS 2012 & ZION
http://WWW.VISIONREPORTWATCH.COM 21
To quote an earlier article of mine:
The 1972 Munich Olympics were host to the first 'official' global terrorist attack, in which 11 Israelis were
killed by Black September (the 9th month - 9/11), a group with ties to Yasser
Arafat’s Fatah organization. The Olympics were host to 121 countries:
1234321 = 11:11 x 11:11
121 countries = 11:11
11 fatalities
The emblem of the games was a blue solar logo (the "Bright Sun"). I will be covering the significance of
the colour blue shortly.
X OLYMPIAD - THE LOS ANGELES (THE ANGELS) SUMMER OLYMPICS OF 1932
The 1932 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the X Olympiad, were celebrated in 1932
in Los Angeles, California, United States. No other cities made a bid to host these Olympics. Held during
the worldwide Great Depression, many nations and athletes were unable to pay for the trip to Los
Angeles. Fewer than half the number of participants from the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam
competed in
1932. The Games of the X Olympiad were also the first to use the victory podium (that's right, a pyramid):
2.3. WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN?
As you can see, the X and XX Olympiads both witnessed remarkable world events, unrivalled by any
other Olympic Games.
The 1932 games were held in the midst of the worldwide 'Great Depression', whilst the 1972 games
gave a stage for the world's first dose of 'global terror'.
Does it seem so unrealistic, that the XXX Olympiad may have a surprise in store?
XXX - UNVEILED
The letter X is more significant than you think.
First of all, you need to understand that the characters of the English
alphabet are more than just letters.
They are symbols with meaning, sometimes multiple meanings - much like the Egyptian hieroglyphs.
They are talismans.
X is the 24th letter of the English alphabet. 2+4/2+4/2+4 = 666. XXX can be seen to represent the
number of the beast.
The letter X originated from a letter in the Greek alphabet known as 'Chi'
'Chi' is the 22nd letter of the Greek alphabet - that's 11:11 for any of you who've been following.
The Spirit Of X or 'Chi'
'Chi' or 'X' were the origins of the Chinese word 'Qi' meaning 'life force' or 'energy flow'. 'Chi' was also the
origins of the Japanese word 'Ki', as in 'Reiki'. 'Chi' also features in 'Tai Chi'.
As you can see, the letter X or 'Chi' is very much about 'spirit'.
X - THE MOTHER GODDESS, ISIS
"In Plato's Timaeus, it is explained that the two bands which form the soul of the world cross each other
like the letter Χ."
Plato, an ancient Greek esoteric philosopher (important to remember, considering who we're dealing
with) associates the letter X with the 'soul of the world'. 'Soul of the world' in Latin becomes 'Anima
mundi'. Both of these terms are identified with 'Gaia'.
Gaia can be defined as:
"A complex entity involving the Earth's biosphere, atmosphere,
oceans, and soil; the totality constituting
a feedback or cybernetic system which seeks an optimal physical and chemical environment for life on
this planet."
Gaia is the 'Mother Goddess', who can be identified as Isis - the mother figure of the Egyptian trinity.
X - THE 'SON OF GOD', HORUS
"Chi or X is often used to abbreviate the name Christ, as in the holiday Christmas (Xmas)."
Jesus Christ, the 'Son Of God' can be attributed to the sun, much like Horus - the son figure of the
Egyptian trinity.
X - THE FATHER
"A person normally has one pair of sex chromosomes in each cell. Females have two X chromosomes,
while
males have one X and one Y chromosome."
The Spirit Of X or 'Chi' A father has one X chromosome. The father can be identified with 'Our father who art in heaven' or
Osiris - the father figure in the Egyptian trinity.
XXX - The Trinity
As you may have realised, this becomes all too easy now. XXX simply means the father, the son and the
mother or should we say the trinity!
If you've listened to Rik Clays recent Red Ice Creations Radio interview, you'll already know that he
believes the 2012 Olympic Games are going to witness the implementation of the 'trinity for a new age',
and here you have it - encoded in the very letters of
the games themselves.
To reiterate, X is far more than just a letter... home
XXX AND THE OCCULT
Imagine your body is a biological computer, and that your 5 senses are filters. If you were to remove
these filters, you would be bombarded by an all engrossing white light - a whole array of different
energies, which you cannot perceive under normal conditions.
When you show emotion to a symbol, an object, a person, your lover - you are generating frequencies of
energy which cannot be perceived through your 5 senses.
Now imagine, that an 'intelligence' which resides outside of your 5 senses, in another dimension of
reality perhaps, is
capturing that energy for itself - for its own personal gain.
The occult operates in co-ordinance with this 'intelligence'.
The letters 'XXX' have been empowered as an occult symbol representing the trinity. If you have no
awareness of the occult meaning behind 'XXX', and you go on to show it emotion, you are feeding this
symbol with the energy (from outside of your 5 sense reality) that it desires.
You are feeding the trinity, or even closer - a trinity event, at the 2012 London
Olympics.
'The truth is always hidden in plain sight'
XXX PORNOGRAPHY
(single men around the world, giving away their every energy to the computer screen, the most
potent
energy of all!)
Here's Amsterdam's Coat Of Arms (a city founded upon its red light district) for good measure: XXX the movie (shown in cinemas around the globe, designed to excite the audience.)
Britain's (America's) Got Talent - 3 judges (2 men, 1 woman - father, son and mother - the trinity) sat in
front of a live TV audience, beaming into homes around the world via the televi'sion' set. Laughter, tears,
panic, applause... a range of emotions feeding yet more energy unto the symbol 'XXX'.
And finally... something that we're all guilty of doing. We don't even know why we do it, only that it's
drilled into us from a young age:
We all sign our
greetings cards and emails with 'kiss kiss kiss' - 'XXX'. As previously mentioned, X
originates from the Greek letter, 'Chi' which in Japanese is 'Ki'. The word 'Ki'ss can be broken down into
'Ki' or 'spirit' accompanied by SS. You could view this as two snakes, much like the structure of our DNA.
home
2.4. 4 MORE YEARS AND COUNTING...
'XXX' symbolises the trinity, much like the early Egyptian creation trinity of Osiris, Isis and Horus.
We, the world, 'consciousness', have been feeding a 'trinity event', blissfully unaware for over a hundred
years. I believe that this event is going to take place at the 2012 London Olympics, the XXX Olympiad.
So this leads to the
question... who are the members of this 'new trinity'? Who plays Osiris, the role of
'Father'? Who plays Isis, the role of 'Mother'?
Who plays Horus, the 'Son', the 'end game' messiah for a 'New World Order Of The Ages'? His birthday
is on the 21st June, the summer solstice - the sun of the most high. In the year 2012, he will be 30 years
old = 'XXX'.
His name is Prince William....
The 2012 Olympic Games
Without doubt there is imagery and word play at work connecting a significant event to the
2012 Olympics:
* The 2012 logo which spells 'Zion'
* A movie which could insinuate an alien visitation
(here)
* A 1984 Olympics ceremony which stages an alien visitation (here)
* A slogan which spells out the plans for a 'New World Order'
* The Olympic Rings and their connotations of cyclical time 3. SYMBOLOGY OF THE NUMBER 11 (11:11)
With the number 11 appearing frequently throughout my studies, I felt the following introduction /
summary may eliminate the need to repeat myself thus allowing new-comers and regular readers alike to
quickly be brought up to speed.
The facts:
11: IN THE UNIVERSE
* On 11th August 1999 at 11:11am there was a total solar eclipse observed throughout
Europe
* 21st December 2012 at 11:11am is the winter solstice of the final day of the Mayan calendar
* The current astrological sign of the zodiac is Pisces, we are currently moving into
Aquarius - the 11th sign of the zodiac
* 21st December 2012 = 21/12/2012 = 2+1+1+2+2+0+1+2 = 11
* The sunspot cycle lasts 11 years - the next one peaking in 2012.
11: PYRAMID NUMEROLOGY
* 11:11 x 11:11 = 1234321 (Numerical sequence ascending and descending in the fashion of a pyramid)
* 111 x 111 = 12321 (Pyramid number)
* 11 x 11 = 121 (Another pyramid number)
* 11 = 3 in binary arithmetic. 3 makes the cornerstones of the Trinity or
pyramid
11: 9/11
* The World Trade Centre stood like an '11'
* 9 + 1 + 1 = 11
* September 11th is the 254th day of the year. 2+5+4 = 11
* September 11th was 111 days until the end of the year
* The 1st plane to hit the World Trade Centre was 'Flight 11'
* Total crew on Flight 11 was '11'
* New York is the 11th state of the US Constitution
* September 11th 2001 stands '11' years from 2012 (Note that in the Mayan calendar, it was said that
there would be 20 years of 'no-time'. A period of unrest where the planet is making a transition from one

"A new partnership of nations has begun, and we stand today at a unique and extraordinary moment.
The crisis in the Persian Gulf, as grave as it is, also offers a rare opportunity to move toward an historic

troubled times, our fifth objective—a new world order—can emerge."
* On September 11th 1941, 60 years prior to September 11th 2001, the soil was broken and the

* A book written in 1981, 20 years prior to the 2001 attacks, called "The Birth of Christ Recalculated".
The author, Dr. Ernest L. Martin, claims to have calculated the exact date of Jesus Christ's birth based
on the celestial charts for that era. The date of Christ's birth, based on the famous Star of Bethlehem, is
calculated to be September 11, 3 B.C.

11: SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
* The first NASA space mission to successful land two men on the moon was Apollo 11
* Hurricane Katrina was recorded as "Storm #11". Hurricane
Katrina's wikipedia page states:
On August 28, 11 counties and eleven cities issued evacuation orders, a number which increased to 41

To coincide, NASA's Hurricane Katrina page states: "The storm formed late on August 23 and developed quickly into a tropical storm by 11 a.m. the next
morning."

corona "crown""
11: RELIGION
* Jesus Christ = 11 letters
11: SPORT
* There are 11 players in a football team. A football game becomes 11:11.
* There are 11 players in a cricket team. Again, 11:11.
11: A SUMMARY
The number 11 finds itself embedded in the very fabric of existence. Observed in both the heavens and
in the workings of shadowy world rulers, there are three schools of thought as to how this could be:
* The first points towards a series of 'inevitable events' deep rooted in the fabric of material existence.
Fate so to speak and that the universe is playing out its script.
* The second speculates that 'the powers that be' have realised the significance of the
number 11 in our
ancient past and hijacked it for their own gain.
* The third leads to an assumption that the pyramid builders, are the same people in control today, and
have used the number 11 symbolically throughout recorded history. Could it be that this 'intelligence' at
work, created the solar system (so as to explain the connections between the number 11 and the
universe) or is it simply working to a universal numerical code? The above information is all based on published fact, without even going into my own experiences with
the numbers 11:11.
At first I held my own reservations about the significance of the number 11, until I found it work itself
into
my life.
Most, if not all of my knowledge and research in this blog, found its way into my life through moments
where I've see an 11:11 on a digital clock, on the microwave or on the TV. Of late, these have taken a
new form, including full blown audible 11:11's from random members of the general public and
arrangements of seemingly random objects forming something greater than just coincidence.
11:11 has come to signify a change in consciousness or at least the exposure of a new reality. Puzzling
I've been a subscriber to Whitley Strieber's Unknown Country for a couple of weeks now and have been very much enjoying his huge archive of excellent interviews.
The monthly fee is half of what most places are charging and you get what in my opinion is over twice the dedication and attention to detail. Mr Stieber not only reads the books of the people he interviews but he really seems to comprehend the big picture in a way that draws on decades of experience in uncovering the layers of deception that guard some of the more esoteric truths that his DreamLand show explores.
He also has a talent for having experts interviewing experts. The show with Peter Levendainterviewing Joseph P Farrell about Nazi time travel technology was worth the subscription price alone.
I had a strange reaction to Whitley Strieber's "true" account of his encounters with some sort of alien entity in his book "Communion" back in the late 1980's. Normally I would have been intrigued about any tale with such an unknown factor, but something about his story struck me as a bit too convenient and lucrative to get past my young and immature P.T. Barnum filter.
I'm still new to the Dream Land podcast, but I'm already impressed with his interview style that goes way beyond what other similar shows produce. I'm ready to admit I was wrong about him back in 1988 when I was a 19 year old sailor without enough data to give his information a fair shake.
I'm not sure what to make of this weekly 3 hour long show, but it's made me laugh more than once and has a mood and frequency that is unlike anything else I've come across.
Freeman is one of the most fascinating characters I've had the pleasure of listening to lately in this far out field of so called alternative research.
He actually predicted something fishy was going to happen concerning the government on September 11th 2001 by extrapolating all his previous findings along with a refined sense of instinct.
Check out his new show on American Freedom Radio for in depth interviews that in my opinion take these subjects to some new heights with his impressive attention to detail. I especially liked his talk with Kerry Cassidy from Project Camelot where they talked about her recent trip to see the great pyramid and why Egyptian guards will not let you meditate at any of the sacred sites in that region.
In my opinion the process of unplugging from the control system is a slow and gradual ordeal. Eventually you get to a point where you realize just how corrupt our current state of journalism and news reporting is and you just give up on it all together.
This has been a healthy move for me. I cut mainstream news and talk radio out of my media diet and slowly began to feel some of my creativity and critical thinking skills coming back to life.
These days I get informed of daily events from the wikipedia home page, and when I feel like expanding on that I seek out an independent, alternative source. My current favorite is The Corbett Report by James Corbett. He lives in Japan and does a great job at connecting dots and reading between the lines.
It feels like he's keeping up to date on what little bit of real information is leaking out so you don't have to.
She makes the claim that Hollywood has not denied the accusation and once the F.B.I. got involved she says it was revealed that the Terminator movies were also stolen from her1981 novel titled "The Third Eye".
My instincts are telling me this story goes beyond common greed, which is why I'll be keeping a close eye on Sophia Stewart's case.
I'm often surprised at how spot on Mel Fabregas is with his guest selection and how the people he interviews that I've not heard of always seem to be of a frequency that resonates with my Cosmic Cookout direction.
The Veritas interview with Andrew Johnson was another great discusion that connected some interesting dots concerning anti-gravity technolgy and the events of September 11th 2001. Mr Johnson is one of the first investigators to seriously look at the evidence of Dr Judy Wood and her directed energy beam hypothesis, which to me shows his level of openness.
Registering on his site is free and worth it due to the additional audio archive you get access to. It's safe and spam free with hours of intriguing interviews that I've found enlightening and educational.
This dynamic conversation is one of those gems worth listening to multiple times due to the complexity and level of detail they cover.
The first observation I had was when Jim Marrs was referring to the Old Testament story of Genesis and the apple from the tree of knowledge. I always thought this was the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, occasionally called the Tree of Conscience, which I translate as a particular stage of development where "Self Awareness" kicks in.
I think Mr Marrs is being too general when he speaks of this knowledge given to theAnunnaki hybrid clones. Maybe before this Self Awareness upgrade we were more manageable like a mule or horse? Maybe a group within the Anunnaki decided it was ethically wrong to treat hybrid clones of themselves with such low regard? and the solution to the problem was this "Good and Evil Knowledge" upgrade?
Image credit goes to Micah A Hanks from the Gralien Report blog for the excellent picture of Jim Marrs with him and friends sharing a beverage. I think I'd gladly pay a couple hundred bucks to hear what Jim Marrs has to say after a few beers and off the record.
Maybe Jim Marrs should start his own secret society of truth seekers who also enjoy a good brew? That's just what a Cosmic Cookout would entail if I knew enough people in my neighborhood with open minds and a thirst for beer and the truth.
I'm happy to report a fresh new podcast on the horizon that is shaping up to be something original and different.
Sam, Steve, and Miles make up theInfinity Hole podcast where they have already found a unique and balanced rhythm that is stimulating to follow.
Recent topics include some brief information on new digital drugs in the form of downloadable sound files, DMT and LSD experiences, and calling out dis-information agents like Andrew Basagio and Aaron McCollum.
I noticed in the 2nd hour of the Veritasinterview with Richard Hoagland that he also expressed doubts to the validity of Mr Basagio's quantum claims, pointing out how Mr Basagio has been employed by some key government agencies that cause me to be skeptic.
Is it possible Andrew Basagio is being played by certain intelligence agencies to be such a fine story teller? He does seem very lucid and articulate, but claims of time traveling with his father when he was a boy are just too much for even me to swallow without more data. The fact that his website has been so minimal speaks volumes to me about his intention.
I was intrigued by Dr Fadiman's work with "enhanced problem solving" where he worked with industry scientists who had been trying to solve a problem for at least 3 months. He provided a safe space and a controlled dose of LSD and reports several positive situations where a viable solution was achieved.
Mr Kale has an impresive collection of podcast shows dating back to 2008.
It was really great hearing an interview where Henrik was answering questions instead of dishing them out. The two together make for a stimulating conversation that shines a little light on what drives Henrik Palmgren on his journey to uncover the protective layers which seem to be hiding what some would call the truth.
There's been a growing wave of interest in the fringe field of Free Energy where independent inventors try to tap into a yet unidentified source of power. These inventions are generally considered perpetual motion machines and usually are followed by some sort of rolling of the eyes or a furrowing of the brow by those who hold any type of authority in these circles. Some say the energy comes from another dimension and is therefore not created out of thin air.
Thanks to a new addition at Neil Kramer's Cleaver blog link section I got turned on to a new podcast by the name of Sailing Beyond Knowledge.
The latest episode is a comprehensive summarization of the many Free Energy theories floating out there today. Patrick Kelly is the guest and he is clearly moved by a sincere passion to get this information out in the world so it can begin to take root.
Go to his excellent website where you can download a free E-book which will list individuals and their specific system they've been working with. I've been drawn to the work of John Bedini and the amazing results he's achieved with magnetic pendulums and motors. With any luck I'll have some real world results to share in the coming months in my attempt to learn more about this mysterious power and how I can put it to use on our little farm here as an energy source for my new deer deterrent contraption.
Sometimes a book has so much knowledge and perspective it can take on a life of its own. Tragedy and Hope seems to be one of those books.
The first I've heard of the story behind this book was a recent interview done by Gnostic Media with education reform expert John Taylor Gatto. He points out the connection between its author Carroll Quigley and former president Bill Clinton, but the part that caught my attention is the obvious suppression of this particular book and how Mr Gatto had to end up obtaining a pirated copy for 50 bucks. He goes on to illustrate how he has since surveyed several libraries in major cities only to discover that each branch is missing their copy of this book.
John Taylor Gatto speculates that this form of censorship happens with other books that get too close to the truth and are gradually removed from circulation. It's hard to dismiss such an outlandish theory when it comes from a respectable source such as Mr Gatto.
Thanks to the internet you can download and read this book without paying 50 bucks. Check outTragedy and Hope.com for a free copy and decide for yourself if Carroll Quigley's version of history is worthy of such a high level of censorship.
I've only been a subscriber to the Veritas show for two weeks now and I'm already wondering why it took me so long to discover this treasure trove of knowledge.
Mel Fabregas is the force behind this truth machine. His central motto, which he borrowed from Jordan Maxwell, should tell you everything you need to know.
"I am an ordinary man pursuing extraordinary knowledge."
His three hour interview with trial lawyer and environmental scholar Andrew D. Basiago is in my opinion the best one out there with this guy. The story is nothing less than incredible and Mel asked some very astute questions which really helped to flesh this story out a bit more than other radio hosts have done in the past. Mr Basiago claims to have photographic evidence of life on Mars, but the real fantastic part of the story is his participation in a program called Project Pegasus along with the claim of making two separate trips to Mars using Tesla teleportation technology. I'm a bit skeptical of these claims and wonder why Mr Basiago didn't have the foresight to take some sort of camera with him when he "telelported" to Mars and back with his CIA escort.
At 8 dollars a month I call the Veritas show a solid value. Add to that his frequently updated blogand members forum and you've got yourself a better deal than most entertainment choices out there.
Truth Frequency Radio.com is hosted by a dynamic duo that bring a much needed balance of male and female energy to a table that in the past has too often been dominated by men.
Chris Geo and Sheree have an obvious chemistry that complements each other in just the right places for a tight and informative radio experience.
I especially enjoyed their recent in depth conversation with the legendary Jordan Maxwell.
What stands out most about these two is their level of passion and knowledge. They've done some serious research and it shows in the thoughtful and informative questions being presented to an impressive list of fascinating guests.
Truth Frequency Radio combines original music with fantastic ideas to form a special edge that can't be found anywhere else. I appreciate the chances they take and will be paying close attention to how this team progresses in the future.
Mr Epperson briefly touches on some of the findings he presents in his video titled "The driver shot Kennedy!" The detail that caught my attention is the implication that somehow Abraham Zapruder, the man who captured the event on film, had previous knowledge of the assassination and was there that day to document it with his Bell and Howell 8 mm movie camera. Ralph goes on to point out how Mr Zapruder asked his secretary who was named Marilyn Sitzman to stand on a concrete pad with him to hold him from behind in case he got dizzy.
Ralph Epperson speculates that Mr Zapruder was attempting to compensate for the anticipated gun shot and the jerking action it might cause by having Marilyn Sitzsman steady him from behind. A clear viewing of the film points out that Abraham Zapruder held the camera steady and true at the exact moment of the first gun shot and subsequent shots.
This does strike me as unusual, although I'm not sure what a normal reaction might be for such an event. What really caught my attention is the accusation that Abraham Zapruder was known to be in the company of Jack Ruby and Officer J.D. Tippit at Jack's Carousel Club strip joint.
Is it possible Officer Tippit was sent to take out Lee Harvey Oswald and instead was killed during the altercation? It's clear the facts around J.D. Tippit's death are fuzzy and eye witness accounts of the shooting have been called into question after the fact. Take that with the fact from Tippit's Wikipedia page that he was also working 2 part time jobs in addition to being a full time police officer at the time. His salary was $5,880 which compares to over $41,000 today. Although it's not uncommon for police officers to work other part time jobs it does beg the question as to why his middle class wage wasn't enough? Keep in mind that he grew up on a farm and according to the Tippit website he was known to say "working 2 or 3 jobs was nothing compared to walking behind a plow".
Photo credit goes to erichufschmid.net for the above image which is an actual shot from Jack Ruby's bar. You can go to his site to see an incredible blow up of the right hand corner that reveals Jack Ruby with a few other noteworthy characters which was taken from Robert Groden's book about Oswald.
The other photos are thanks to wikipedia and theofficial J.D. Tippit website which is a beautiful tribute to a man who was a war hero from World War 2 and a family man that left behind several who cared deeply for him.
Rest in peace J.D. Tippit and everybody else known and unknown that got too close to this temporal distortion.
The Pyschedelic Salon podcast hosted by Lorenzo Hagerty is probably the best place to get straight information on the early history and modern happenings of consciousness exploration.
Lorenzo is providing a valuable service by sorting through old lecture tapes of pioneers like Terrence McKenna, Timothy Leary, and Robert Anton Wilson to name a few. He's built an awesome archive of over 200 episodes where he presents a chunk of information from the past and introduces it in a way that calms and excites at the same time.
The Salon is a great place to stay up to date on the latest developments in this community and hear from new voices and some of the places they've discovered.
Image credit goes to DJ Hitspinner for the incredible cyberdelic art.
Douglas Lain is a fiction writer who has built an impressive collection of interviews at his Diet Soap podcast. I've watched the show grow from figuring out he needs a USB microphone back in episode number 6 to being what I consider a serious voice for the consciousness culture in just under a year's time.
I especially enjoyed his 3 part conversation with Neil Kramer where they brought up the concept of an artificial control network and freely came to the conclusion that they are both still plugged into this mysterious and ancient form of bondage.
In my opinion Douglas Lain is one of the more grounded personalities in this field and his curiosity and sense of humor makes the show a stimulating experience well worth downloading.
Martin Ball has proven how plant-based medicine can be used as a tool to help awaken a deeper connection with the non physical side of our personality. Yes...he uses the God word, but you'll never hear him pushing any kind of dogmatic belief. On the contrary, this guy uses Occam's razorto rip through any beliefs that get in his way in a lucid and composed manner.
The Entheogenic Evolution podcast is a place where Martin articulates his evolving view of consciousness and brings many esoteric concepts down to Earth without any extra mystery or fanfare. It's an impressive expression of Martin's genuine desire to distill down all the years he's spent researching and working on his Ph.D. in this fascinating field. I suggest you try at least one of his episodes and I'll bet you'll be hooked just as I was with his no nonsense approach and musical style.</span
Alex Tsakiris is a successful entrepreneur turned science philanthropist who hosts the Skeptiko podcast, which is a labor of love and an obvious passion. In 2007 Tsakiris foundedOpenSourceScience.net, a non-profit project that helps to fund controversial science experiments.
I've only heard a few episodes of Skeptiko so far, but I really like where this guy is coming from. I think he did a great job at separating out some of the historical facts from fiction when heinterviewed Jon Ronson, the author of "The men who stare at goats" and then followed it up byinterviewing Paul Smith, the author of "Reading the Enemy's Mind". The comparison helps to show how one author was more concerned about weaving a funny Hollywood story for George Clooney and the other had a true desire to shed some light on a fascinating program that seems to have made some real breakthroughs in the field of remote viewing and psychic spying.
If you like research heavy with documentation and technical schematics then you will love Joseph P Farrell. He's fast becoming one of my favorite personalities in the alternative research community, mainly because he's so darn thorough, which is a trait I appreciate when dealing with such far out speculations like the Great Pyramid of Giza being originally designed as a huge weapon or how post war Nazi scientists have been operating a secret space program that makes NASA look like childs play.
A great way to get introduced to Dr Ferrell's train of thought would be some of the free interviews available out there. Erskine Overnight has a good collection of Ferrell conversations on his 2009 archive page where he has graciously edited out the advertisements. The next place I would suggest is the Byte show, which is run by GeorgeAnn Hughes. This collection is a bit more personal and provides a deeper look into the mind and ideas of Dr Ferrell thanks to the friendly back and forth style of GeorgeAnn and the obvious history the two share. Red Ice Creations has an excellent collection of Ferrell interviews with information I have not heard anywhere else, but you'll have to be a member to get access, which I can honestly say is well worth the small fee.
The C-Realm podcast represents a water shed moment in my personal search for a better way to explain time and its relation to consciousness. It was my first real dose of true independent media in this field and was instrumental in pointing out a whole host of personalities that were also on a path towards the same frequency of truth. KMO helped me to realize that I wasn't alone in this quest and his creative style serves as one of the major inspirations behind the Cosmic Cookout website.
Jan Irvin of GnosticMedia.com is clearly one of the hardest working researchers in the expanding culture of consciousness. The Gnostic Media podcast brings together leading independent and academic scholars to focus in on subjects like shamanism, entheogens, religion, archaeoastronomy, fertility cults, and so much more.
I'm really excited about his most recent direction of focus towards the area of education. It's a complex subject, and he's taking the time to build a foundation of facts on how and why our current state of academic learning for the masses is in such poor condition.
A good place to begin unraveling the mess of modern education is the Gene Odening interview that delves into some of the meat behind concepts like critical thinking and logic. The number 2 installment of Peace Revolution which Jan is hosting at his site and participating in does a great job at setting the ground work for a hypothesis that suggests how critical thinking is being hijacked by a small group of elite families to further their own agenda. This is one of the most lucid and grounded arguments I've heard to date concerning what some call a "hidden" course of action to dumb down America.
Red Ice Creations.com is the first alternative research website I'm reviewing here because they are in my opinion the best. I've been a subscriber for the past 5 months and can honestly say the monthly fee of about 7 bucks feels like one of the better education and entertainment values available in this field. It's really tough to sort through some of the piles of disinformation out there and when I first came upon Red Ice I was immediately skeptical when I saw the highly refined format the website is presented in. It seemed too good to be true and I wondered if some big corporation was behind all the style. They have the last year of first hour interviews available for free, and I started off by skimming through that section and listening to the interviews from researchers I was more familiar with. It hooked me right away.
Henrik Palmgren is the founder, editor, researcher, film maker, artist, musician, and voice behind the interviews and films available on the site. He's put together an impressive team that consists of his brother Fredrik, Lana Lokteff and Elizabeth Leafloor. What pushed me over the fence from being a casual free listener to a dues paying subscriber was the Rik Clay story. This was an energetic and enthusiastic young man Henrik had interviewed relating to some fascinating insight he had concerning the upcoming London Olympics and its strange logo. The story ends with the tragedy of Rik's suicide, which was followed by reports that the conditions around his death were suspicious. It's the kind of situation a big corporation would have exploited by implying all sorts of unsavory speculation with the motivation being to entice the listener to subscribe to hear the whole story. Red Ice did nothing of the kind. They made the subscriber portion of Rik Clay's interview available for free, which was a move that won me over and proved from where I'm standing that their intentions are pure and their honor is intact. Rest in peace, Rik.
I could go on about how Henrik takes such good care of his guests and always seems to ask just the right questions while at the same time knowing when to get out of the way and let the information flow, but what would be more productive is for me to suggest a beginning so you can start getting turned on to research you never knew existed. The November 2009 interview withPeter Levenda would be my first choice because Henrik and Peter somehow manage to present some very outlandish material in a grounded fashion that I found stimulating and tasteful. Go next to the recent John Lash interview, which opened my eyes to his MetaHistory.org website where John presents a lifetime worth of research that directly challenges the building blocks of fundamental Christianity in a calm and collected manner.
Athabantian Caution- posted on May 17, 2012 - We believe that a major geological event for your planet may occur within thenext few days. It will be centered off the northwestern coast of the United States. It will affect the coast and somewhat further inland. We can not predict the full affects of this undersea movement.
Conditions appear to be such that a major disruption could occur along the edge of the Juan de Fuga Plate where it intersects thePacific Plate, many miles off the coast. There are stresses building there that may cause an earthquake of some magnitude and a resulting tsunami — if they are released in a violent manner. There is the possibility that they may be released more gradually and little will be disrupted. It is not clear to us how things will proceed from this point forward.
It is a natural phenomenon that is part of Earth’s adjustment of her physical form. It involves no nuclear reactor such as was the case off Japan.
Rik has suggested that the 2012 Olympic site is being prepared as the New Jerusalem by the New World Order and suggested it may be possible that a staged alien invasion will be used at that time to unite humanity under the new world order.
Why is it both the Beijing and London Olympic logos can be arranged to form the word "Zion"?
Was Rik Clay murdered shortly after releasing all this explosive information about a possible royal family conspiracy to make Prince William the new messiah?
SUICIDE??? August the 28th. His ashes were scattered upon Ilkley Moor, overlooking the town above Rocky Valley, Thursday the 11th of September, 2008.

DON'T BLAME MOTHER EARTH for all this CRAZY WEATHER. BLAME your GLOBAL GANGSTER godless GOVERNMENTS, who control your weather thru HAARP.
Dear WAGE SLAVE- Black OP's Projects were funded by YOU and are being used against YOU! You're NEXT- if you don'tWAKE UP!
HAARP is a weapon of mass destruction. Radio Waves strong enough to cause earthquakes are controlled by the U.S. military.
HAARP can shift the NEW MADRID and San Andreas FAULTS, leaving aMERIca DISABLED. No coincidence.
HAARP stands for High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program. It is funded by the US navy, US AirForce, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and our Govt.
- HAARP has be used for multiple purposes. Its basic concept is a giant antenna, utilize a large amount of power,and shooting beam powers into the upper atmosphere. Thus being able to change and manipulate weather through the ionosphere. How much power is needed to modify weather? To say the least it can beam more then 1.7 gigawatts (billion watts) of radiation into the ionosphere. It is the opposite of a radio. It transmits the powers instead of recieving. It heats the upper atmosphere, after effecting the ionosphere, the radiations come back to earth and form long waves. The waves then enter the ground, the oceans, even our bodies. These people have the power to not only create but dismantle storms such as tornados, hurricanes, etc..
It is believed that HAARP is also:
An ionospheric heater / A research tool / A military test bed
A tax-subsidized boondoggle / A directed-energy weapon
A communication system for submarines / A source of field-aligned ionospheric VHF reflectors / A way to improve satellite links
A planetary x-ray machine / A plot to depopulate the Third World
A means of creating power blackouts at will / Electronic warfare
Tesla's wireless power transmission /Tesla's secret death ray
Searching for space aliens / Killing space aliens /
Killing off the militias / Keeping them awake at night (through RF head rectification) / Enforcing the New World Order / Creating nuclear-scale explosions // Weather modification/ CIA mind control / Brain wave modification // The end of HF radio // The end of wildlife in Alaska // The end of atmospheric ozone // The end of the human race // The end of Earth itself
Full 10 hour DVD Series available from: irishoriginsofcivilization.com In his companion DVD Series to The Irish Origins of Civilization (Volumes 1 and 2), Michael Tsarion discusses the historical significance of ancient Ireland and takes us on a truly fascinating journey through time, from the Emerald Isle to Egypt and back again full circle. Along the way we are introduced to the Druids and also to their destroyers, the Atonists. We discover the origins of the world's most powerful secret societies and the New World Order they labor to create. We discover secret facts about the royal dynasties of Britain and Europe, the Empire of Rome, and about Masonic influence in America. Featuring over 560 illustrations, and rare source material, this DVD series dramatically revolutionizes our view of history and explains what can be done to combat the tyrannical forces that have long conspired to undermine truth, freedom and justice.

- According to media magnate and permanent Bilderberg member Conrad Black, theban on reporters "makes discussion more intimate and candid. There are no massive indiscretions, but the exchanges can be quite heated." This is a polite way of saying that members can secretly speak their minds about whatever grandiose schemes of world conquest they envision themselvesas having thedivine right to execute, without fearing that their words will ever be heard by the public. "It was from Bilderberg that our company's eventual vocation as an international newspaper organization arose." This tactic is very similar to the Non-Attribution Rule used at Council on Foreign Relations meetings, which prevents statements made by attendees from being reported in the media. Many media CEOs, news anchors and influential members of the press fill seats in the CFR
- As far as global politics and finance go, the Bilderberg is the top of the pyramid, the all-seeing eye gazing upon the construction of a New World Order . This one-world system of governance, lurking in the shadows cast by flowery language about our new “global village,” will transfer nearly all economic and political power into the hands of a small group of the world elite.

ELITE ETHNOGRPAHY- According to Conrad Black, the Bilderberg, "was set up in the mid-fifties by Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands....

The network today - After thousands of years of evolution, the reptilian network is now a vast and often unfathomable web of interconnecting secret societies, banks, businesses, political parties, secu rity agencies, media owners, and so on. But its basic structure and Agenda remains very simple.
The centre of the operational web is the City of London with interlocking leaderships in places like France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy and the United States. These are the spiders in the web with the City of London, ‘New Troy’, the most important. From this centre the Global Agenda and policies are administered and their ‘branch managers’ introduce those policies in each country. So if it suits the Global Agenda to crash the US dollar, the Mexican peso, the South African rand, or the Far East stock-markets, the branch managers in those areas will take the action necessary to do that.http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/biggestsecret/biggestsecretbook/biggestsecret13.htm

SIOUX OTTAWA KANATA KINAKWII- be 50 feet above the lake level and 10 miles from shore for lake sloshing, and if you are not on rock then to add more elevation or milage for safety as soil can melt. As we mentioned when detailing changes for the Great Lakes, the area of Wisconsin and upper Michigan will be splitting open, which is the trend in place already. Sault Saint Marie is positioned where Lake Superior drains, and this of course is where a widening split can be expected. There can also be local tearing, as we have described for Wisconsin, which will be ripped down along the Green Bay peninsula. Stretch areas have silent quakes, as these crevasses just open up with little warning, as occurred recently on the Michigan peninsula. If anything, Lake Superior will ultimately be lower, due to the locks being broken, though the torrential rains following the pole shift will createtemporary flooding everywhere. The rise in sealevel elevation to 675 feet will of course not affect the lands around the Great Lakes, which are at a higher elevation. Thus,except for local sloshing and the tearing that can be expected from a widening Seaway, your area will have a relatively uneventful pole shift experience. http://www.zetatalk.com/info/tinfx038.htm

As the Arab revolt spreads from North Africa to the Gulf and deepens its demands to include socio-economic as well as political demands, the Empire is striking back. The ruling military junta in Egypt has cracked down on the prodemocracy movement and looks to its autocratic “partners” in the Gulf and the Arabian Peninsula to drown the civil society movements in a blood bath.
While standing by the crumbling dictatorships elsewhere in the region, the United States, France and the United Kingdom raced to intervene when it seemed the revolt had spread to Libya. NATO was deployed, using the UN’s new “responsibility to protect” doctrine
