fact or fiction

US Legislation required restriction of adult content to adults and use of a credit card was deemed acceptable as proof of age. Adult verification systems thus emerged to service and capitalise on the new market. Countering fraud is far more difficult than perpetrating it and if fraud levels passed the 1% ceiling new businesses could disappear as quickly as they came if merchant accounts were withdrawn and vendors blacklisted as happened at Landslide.

Vulnerabilities on the Internet, 'exploits' as they are often technically termed, are too numerous and complex to be known, let alone documented. Data harvesting often occurs via the Internet itself and therefore all the information required to perpetrate organised fraud is readily available. Landslide had a simple system; single page signup, http and no challenge response.

Organised fraudsters could use open proxies or spoof IP addresses. It would have been possible to perpetrate fraud via Landslide without using the same Internet Service Provider as the card holder to connect to the Internet whilst matching the ISP and without any person clicking the submit button.

It is not viable to point the finger at a single source of blame for the fraud levels on the adult Internet though it is relevant to mention that a stream of new laws were not enacted to protect children as claimed, such protections are afforded by laws which are not medium specific. Rather these laws were enacted by design to control the Internet itself, the very nature of threat foreseen by the founding fathers of the US constitution, what is now just a historical document of broken promises between a succession of Presidents and the American people.

happenstance

Julie Amero an American teacher convicted and facing 40 years for spawned web pages might be grateful for these comments though in that case circumstances may not have derived in the manner that Nicholas Sharples stated 'must be' as the land of computing and forensics is much more complicated.

A webmaster of particular relevance to Operation Ore (secretly indicted by the FBI) was using popups, redirect sites and other malice (some of which was forensically undetectable) which as Nicholas Sharples conceded took people to sites they didn't intend to visit and at random. This is in contrast to previous 'official' assertions that you 'could not get on these sites by accident'. For a replay of then ACPO spokesman Stuart Hyde click here to hear it.

possession

Possession is one of the issues that kept popping up on discussion boards on the Internet with people in despair and being tortured out of their lives for a concocted story and what in reality their computer might have done as a product of automation. Though thousands of cases were dropped in Operation Ore, illegal material was found on people's computers without metadata indicating how the material got there, or no expert evaluation  was available or able to determine the same. In such instances people were often charged with 'possession' (under POCA or SOA 2003 which was subsequently introduced raising the legal age of imagery to 18 and transferring the burden of proof to the accused). In the States this occurred with an accompanying war cry from Terri Moore and the FBI; 'if you have it you are guilty'. A comment dismantled wholesale by the fact that the FBI were directly involved in the distribution of illegal material in relation to Landslide and follow up operations.

Here in the UK Bill Hughes DG of SOCA was subject to formal complaint after admitting running websites offering illegal imagery when the law explicitly declares the intention of Parliament that such conduct should be prosecuted no matter who does it. The IPCC refused to acknowledge the allegation against a senior police officer evidenced by admission and attacked other allegations using subordinate legislation ignoring the HRA which states; 3(1) 'So far as it is possible to do so, primary legislation and subordinate legislation must be read and given effect in a way which is compatible with the Convention rights.' One is perhaps left to presume that the IPCC considers that which was enacted by the Queen was simply puff.

The IPCC left only one of a number of allegations mentioned, did not deny the substance of the complaints, ignored the fact Andrew Mulholland works directly for the police officers subject to complaint and rendered comments that did not concur with the evidential facts which includes the email referred to, an email responding to the assertion by Andrew Mulholland that only the IPCC could legally investigate as the extent of the allegations were beyond the remit of the NCS Service Authority. In reaching its conclusion, the IPPC simply cited that the allegation  that  they were willing to admit existed was submitted more than one year after the event occurred when there is no statute of limitations in force to such crimes as alleged. Notable perhaps that the IPCC spent over a year before using subordinate legislation in coming to this conclusion.

CEOP the Internet arm of SOCA switched to overtly 'naming and shaming' as a means of advertising, a process that has already been evidenced to have cost people their lives and incited breach of the peace. It is reasonable to deduce that past and future 'costs' cannot therefore have been or be an accident.

It is not abnormal to have a computer that contains illegal material where no one can prove how it got there, this is typically the basis of a 'possession' charge and where the accused cannot prove their innocence, creating a catch 22 that forced so many to plead guilty in an attempt to mitigate harm. A fair trial requires that the burden of proof is on the prosecution, but the laws were specifically changed during Operation Ore removing the presumption of innocence, a prime tenet of justice itself.

Extract of SOA 2003 S46 "a In proceedings for an offence under section 1(1)(a) of making an indecent photograph or pseudo-photograph of a child, the defendant is not guilty of the offence if he proves that ... it was necessary for him to make the photograph or pseudo-photograph for the purposes of the prevention, detection or investigation of crime ..."

(The making charge derives from the fact that a computer works differently to analogue television, to display imagery on screen the browser typically downloads files that are subsequently displayed and in so doing a copy is 'made'. Normally if imagery was believed to have derived from the Internet 'making' is charged, if unknown 'possession'.  Explicitly by law the accused is charged for the method by which a computer operates rather than for what they have done. As 'making' is considered the more serious offence, the law explicitly targets the Internet.)

The Internet is a mixture of all things, commercialism is identified as the greatest threat particularly from commercial monopolies such as Microsoft and their partners. So vast and changing a world to explore is cyberspace that for the surfer so much of the wondrous journey of discovery is simply happenstance.

In one prosecution of this kind, due to the malicious software on the computer, vast quantities of illicit material were deposited unrequested, though in Operation Ore targeting of material specifically derived from popups was planned for and enacted. None of this is new, the first miscarriage of justice of this kind years before put a man in jail based on malicious allegations. As the stories of Landslide were fabricated, such material as people were prosecuted for was more likely to derive from peer to peer, newsgroups, general Internet malice or the plain old misfortune that smiles on us all from time to time.

To fill in a gap left by Nicholas Sharples, a fatality gap in instances; emails at Landslide included complaints from people who had gone to websites only to find the content was not what was expected at all.

Such emails resulted in Landslide's report to the FBI in the first place, though Special Agent Frank Super of the FBI on oath in court in Fort Worth Texas when called by the defence replaced an event that happened with one that couldn't have.

Miscarriages of justice are deliberately perpetrated and deliberately concealed, if more than one person colludes in such an act, the law defines this as conspiracy. With the collaboration of the media in deception (propaganda) or news black out (censorship), there is one rather important thing to do:

spread the truth

spinning a yarn

Referring to the exhibit from SAG/240 directly:

The fraud was a serious one and the merchant account was withdrawn but ignoring the context we contrast a direct quotation by Nicholas Sharples with the original evidence:

"We hope all these problems with fraud have been corrected" - Landslide evidence

"all these problems with fraud have been corrected" - Nicholas Sharples

true lies

Concerted attempts have been made to remove 'truth and lies' as a concept, instead the public is only allowed to consider the official story, anything that disagrees with the official story is in the land of conspiracy theory as the BBC have been at pains to point out of late, a profitable disease that has even reached the shores of France. It would seem that official stories are allowed, unofficial stories are not allowed and the ownership of information is more important than what the information is. That is of course how Rupert Murdoch has made his living as the spectre of censorship becomes increasingly visible. Censorship has always been the most dangerous weapon, hence freedom of speech so vital.

The weapon of the dictator is not so much propaganda as censorship.  - Terence Qualter

The duty of the courts should be quite different, it is not supposed to be based upon propaganda and fantasy, nor even on what is true or false, rather what is proven by the evidence. The veneer of nobility in the British judicial system has been stripped away by Operation Ore, as what is practiced is worlds apart from what is preached. A judicial process that was not so long ago the envy of the world, was rather ugly on in the inside as so many have found out in a nation that has tried to impose inquisitions in place of trials by the evidence, a fact that has been screaming from the pages of the inquisition21 website, the beacon that lit the path through troubled times like a biblical prophecy: "where there is darkness, let there be light".

Many victims of Operation Ore left the United Kingdom, not in shame, rather because what their nation had done or tried to do to them was beneath contempt. Trust was broken and if they were ashamed, it was at what was done to them rather than by them.

This is an example of an 'official story' presented by SOCA expert Nicholas Sharples. 'New formula washing up liquid', 'original formula', 'satisfaction guaranteed', 'satisfaction or you money back' are slogans of the deceptive world of marketing, the land of liars and it appears that this expert was trying to sell us something rather than evidence and present the facts, the task that he is paid for.

What was being sold here is akin to the flannel of a spiv. Even the infamous Dallas Detective Nelson whose lies still reverberate through the media had some honesty in relation to this fact.

This was more in line with the truth of the matter, pussies4u was set up specifically as a device to mitigate against chargebacks and refunds. Unlike the public material that was scooped up and sold by webmasters through Landslide and other AVS systems,  the material on this Landslide site was bought and paid for by Landslide itself, providing an alternative option for dissatisfied customers and victims of fraud and scam.

Whereas Nicholas Sharples is entitled to his own opinion, he is not entitled to his own facts and one fact can be worth more than a thousand words. For testimony of substance we once again refer to the expert here whose selfless dedication to task emulates the quote:

I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country. - Nathan Hale

witnesses for hire

With prosecution witnesses Dr Sam Type and Sharon Girling (SOCA) recently examined in relation to the information they have supplied, this update relates to Nicholas Sharples who is another of the Celt team who worked with SOCA on the Landslide data, perhaps the last.

We are fortunate to be able to refer to an expert in relation to this sworn statement, particularly fortunate as this is one of the experts that SOCA has gone to some lengths to try to destroy. Such conduct may be acceptable to Nick Hardwick at the IPCC, to Rose Fitzpatrick at MPS and to Sir Stephen Lander at SOCA, but shooting the messenger as cowardly as it is corrupt, has not destroyed the messages here and here.

The likelihood of one individual being right increases in direct proportion to the intensity to which others are trying to prove him wrong. - Harry Segall

the lunatics are in charge of the asylum

A lot of controversy has arisen in relation to various databases maintained by the state. A hearing took place in August 2005 in relation to someone who challenged the fact they were excluded from work that might include children. The verdict was unanimous, the appeal failed, the appellant being deemed unsuitable to work with children.

Extract 15: Sharon Girling asserted that Landslide hosted thousands of websites and that keyz predominantly involved children being subjected various levels of sexual abuse. Prejudicial and emotive statements however these were imputing facts not made in evidence. If Ms Girling really did allege that Landslide hosted thousands of websites, she might kindly enlighten us all by listing 100 of them.

Extract 17: Police Officer Girling states the purchasers would not be provided generally with material that was available for free elsewhere on the Internet. The site in question which Sharon Girling didn't demonstrate any knowledge of was hosted on a public server. Without special security scripts being provided by the webmaster the material (which wasn't identified) would be freely available, the material having been collected from the public domain in the first place.

Extract 19: The committee is of the view that no pressure was put upon Mr X. Sufficient to say this statement though not unexpected was truly remarkable.

If this was the production of a broadcaster like the BBC one could perhaps understand why children lost a specialist helper for no apparent reason at all, but a man's livelihood was at stake, the burden of proof was on the state and justice was miscarried.

Freedom of Information Act

Avon & Somerset police have declined to acknowledge if they have or do not have information in respect of Operation Ore.

Hampshire police have disclosed, three people officially dead (~ 1%).

West Sussex have removed their Operation Ore FOI response, at that time three people officially dead (~ 2%), down from previous reports of six people dead (~ 5%).

the hired gun

Dr Sam Type is an appointed expert witness for SOCA (previously NCS) in respect of Operation Ore, and she made various sworn statements headed by '... is true to the best of my knowledge and belief and I make it knowing that, if it is tendered in evidence, I shall be liable to prosecution if I have wilfully stated anything which I know to be false or do not believe to be true'.

Dr Sam Type stated she performed a detailed examination of a computer referred to as 'Sun1' and found it was last used normally at around 10:15 am on 8th September 1999. Dr Sam Type would be required by law to disclose any evidence that undermines the prosecution case, so if the data had been altered, or as Dr Sam Type might have put it 'used abnormally', defence in Operation Ore trials would have to have been advised.

The official version of events as presented by US law enforcement was that they raided Landslide at 10:15 am on 8th September 1999 and Ray Smith of USPIS asserted that they got everyone to stand back from the computers to prevent the evidence being contaminated. Dr Sam Type appears to have started with this story, but then it seems to have changed to 'I haven't got a specific list. Some were accessed, very few were modified. They were dotted all over the computer. There were various ones.'

The Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 stipulates 'the prosecutor must disclose to the accused any prosecution material which has not previously been disclosed to the accused and which in the prosecutor's opinion might undermine the case for the prosecution against the accused ...'

The Computer evidence at Landslide was part of a crime scene. If a police officer handled a weapon used in a crime without taking precautions, this might contaminate the crime scene, introducing doubt as to the provenance of the evidence. This could undermine the prosecution case as it is the burden of the prosecution to prove guilt of the accused beyond doubt. 

According to guidelines for handling computer evidence produced by ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers), principle 1 stipulates: 'No action taken by law enforcement agencies or their agents should change data held on a computer or storage media which may subsequently be relied upon in court.'

In this instance with computer evidence involved, the facts suggest that we have data that is subject to question and an expert witness that is subject to question.

Routine defence disclosures should have included a full file and directory listing to enable independent verification of the assertions by prosecution expert Dr Sam Type. Investigating the integrity of the data is the duty of prosecution and defence alike and had appropriate disclosures been made, the contamination of the evidence would have been detected, quantified and documented at the outset.

Yesterday's press covered a miscarriage of justice righted courtesy of the Internet where the parents were not advised by social services that an adopted child had a pre-existing medical condition and where expert medical evidence in court secured a conviction. The convictions were overturned after the accused had spent 15 months in jail; reported here (archive) and here.

freedom of the press is the Internet

With so much known, exposed and evidenced about Operation Ore via so many outlets, some have struggled to understand why the media have actively ignored the truth or have even attacked it. In the case of the BBC this included pumping out newspeak (1984) on a factory scale and participating in malicious attacks on one of the foremost forensic experts in the field whose work is held in such esteem it is unnecessary to name him in person. They were not able to attack his expertise or work (rather the converse was true) but out went the story that he didn't have a civil degree whilst ignoring the fact that SOCA experts that did and didn't had been sufficiently discredited to render previous prosecutions unsafe. Such reporting by the BBC is specifically unlawful, they were evidentially exposed in Operation Ore and their recent advertising for Microsoft (who were directly involved from the start of the Landslide debacle to this day) has been subject to formal complaint elsewhere.

One of the world's leading experts on the media, sometimes referred to as 'the conscience of America' was interrogated by the BBC's Andrew Marr in 1996 in a room resembling a scene in advance from Abu Ghraib prison. Despite what appeared to be a well planned assault by Andrew Marr, the illusion of a free press in the UK was shattered on air and intellectual Noam Chomsky has been largely excluded by the mainstream media ever since which rather proves the point as he is credited as being the 8th most cited scholar of his time (which is now). The BBC interview can be heard here (or here).

The BBC having pushed the limits of propaganda and censorship to new heights have themselves become the story and are being reported both on the Internet and mainstream media outside of the UK. In Operation Ore the BBC were involved at the preparatory stage and were there during the media drive by Bill Hughes and Shy Keenan. Worthy of note that with the help of the BBC, Operation Ore was the most advertised secret investigation in history.

Both the expert and Noam Chomsky were also attacked in the Guardian, a well known BBC recruiting ground. In the case of the former the Guardian created an oxymoron: 'A confidential warning has been given to the police and senior prosecutors questioning the credibility of a computer analyst who has given expert testimony in highly sensitive court cases.' Confidential it was not though such wording could have been an earnest attempt by a journalist to package some truth in what was otherwise clearly a hit piece to order. In the case of the linguistics professor a formal complaint was lodged and apology obtained.

yesterday's conspiracy or tomorrow's truth

Alternative stories even if evidenced to the hilt are often given the title of 'conspiracy' in order to discredit lines of reporting which are not official (allowed) and the distinction between conspiracy and conspiracy theory is deliberately ignored or used as a false euphemism for nutcase to assault the messenger and distract from the message. The BBC have been running a series of hit pieces using propaganda against conspiracy theories and censorship against conspiracy in relation to some rather important historical events where the official stories were becoming discredited if not proven to be false. Most recently this included the very event that represented the funeral of the BBC involving the former Chief of Justice in Northern Ireland, the now infamous Lord Hutton.

After recent challenges to a BBC hit piece, they claim to have lost the video of one of the most critical events in history, the systemic collapse of a building in New York, a tape which evidences that they accidentally broadcast this rather important news item before the event had happened. WT7 was demolished and replaced with a new one, but the BBC fancy themselves as magicians labelling a journalist as an 'evangelist' and a young truth seeker 'a college drop out'. The journalist is a journalist who avoids religion and the young truth seeker had never been to college to drop out, but he BBC would rather people looked the other way. The BBC have now become the laughing stock even of the mainstream media though journalists have been leaving for a time in order to ply their trade elsewhere or at all.

For those seeking a public enquiry, if history was not enough to evidence that such avenues are meaningless, attention of the reader is drawn to the Inquiries Act 2005 passed on June the 7th 2005 which places the executive in charge of any public inquiry, similar to the setup with the IPCC and the police.

Whilst SOCA and their American counterparts (Homeland Security's ICE) liaise in the UK and the jumping jacks at the BBC become increasingly distanced from reality (alternative), the public thirst for truth is a mounting debt that will have to be repaid.

Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little. - Edmund Burke

James Gamble in the House of Lords continued

In question 220 on the 10th of January 2007 the Earl of Erroll asks Jim Gamble a follow up question about the Landslide website:

A very quick question then, there was no other sort of pornography on that website, it is purely child pornography? I have never visited it so I do not know.

Mr Gamble responds:

I am glad because we would have met under other circumstances perhaps! Let me be very clear here.

We will stop Mr. Gamble there as the ramble that followed was far from clear and did not answer the question. Had the Earl of Erroll been visiting the Landslide website in 1999 or subsequently via the waybackmachine he would not have been committing an offence in so doing. The Earl perhaps felt it necessary to assert his innocence by saying he had not visited the site, some would say this has the pathology of denial which is common in a witch hunt, but irrelevant in the circumstances. The point is perhaps made by inviting the Earl of Erroll to visit 'the site'. Contrary to evidence used by SOCA, the real home page can be viewed here.

Not being guilty of an offence does not remotely suggest one is safe from conviction; the IWF have since edited their website but it once proudly proclaimed the presumption of guilt introduced with the SOA 2003. The law also increased the age of an adult in respect of imagery from 16 to 18, rendering millions of copies of The Sun newspaper child pornography, not to mention countless computers, as even if you ask Windows to delete something you didn't want, it doesn't do what you say and remove it, it just takes it out of the index, and the courts have accepted you are guilty of possession even though you cannot access what you are supposed to have.

As for the Earl of Erroll, he can search through the archive of Landslide domains and sub domains as hard as he likes, but he will not be committing an offence or generating suspicion of committing an offence, rather the joke that Mr. Gamble told was on him. If he leaves Landslide intentionally or otherwise, then he is as vulnerable as anyone to the very laws his office has helped create.

01/03/2007

James Gamble in the House of Lords

On Wednesday 10th of January 2007 in the House of Lords, James Gamble (accompanied by Ms Sharon Girling, Mr Tim Right and Mr John Carr) stated without any objection:

"The principal operation of Landslide was simply this: you went on; you identified what you wanted; you handed over your credit card details and you were sent a password back to your e-mail address which you had; you then went back on-line using that password which had been sent to your computer and then accessed your choice."

Landslide was primarily an adult payment gateway and the keyz system that was at the centre of numerous allegations was not a place you would 'identify what you wanted' as James Gamble asserted, you couldn't as there wasn't even a menu of sites there to select from. Adult verification intermediaries like Landslide were set up to comply with US law where ownership of a credit card was deemed as proof of age. If you wanted to pay for access to an adult website on the Internet which used the Landslide payment gateway, you would be redirected to Landslide for the purposes of entering payment or access authentication, though such was the malice on the Internet, that is only how Landslide intended the system to operate. Payment systems that offer substantial payback to webmasters such as Landslide keyz were common targets for fraud.

James Gamble was responding to Question 219 from the Earl of Erroll who was asking in effect for comment on advice he had received that people were hounded when there was no evidence of breaking the law or evidence had been misinterpreted. James Gamble responded:

"It is common practice in many cases - and I have been a law enforcement officer for over 26 years - to try and discredit an operation of any type, not least this type in a new area. I would not want to associate myself with any investigation that manifested itself in the way you described, and that does not bear any resemblance, in my view, to my actual experience of this investigation."

It would have been true to say attempts were made to discredit other operations James Gamble had involvement in, not least by relatives of the deceased and those acting out of conscience. Numerous murders in Northern Ireland including of human rights activists and solicitors were subject to several enquiries and Prime Minister Tony Blair has made a public apology following investigations into Belfast Special Branch. James Gamble and Ronnie Flanagan left for England after the truth received exposure in the mainstream media.

a question of fraud

As covered previously, SOCA expert Dr Sam Type testified that she had not found evidence of fraud, Michael Mead of USPIS had never seen evidence of fraud, though is now employed in the online fraud department of Blockbuster.

Back in April 2004, Dr Sam Type responded to the following question:

Question: What are the processes involved in a user getting a refund, and how does a refund differ from a chargeback?

Answer: In general terms, a refund is money put back onto a customer’s credit-card through a retailer informing a credit-card company that the customer’s money should be returned. So, for example, if I buy a pen from the local stationers using my Visa credit card, the stationer will let me take the pen and request a transfer into their bank-account from Visa for the cost of the pen. If I subsequently return the pen, the stationer will perform a refund transaction on my Visa card and return the amount to Visa. Visa will add that money to the funds available to spend on my card. [1] A chargeback usually occurs when a credit-card company determines that a credit-card has been used fraudulently. So, if, after I have bought the pen, Visa find-out that the card I used was stolen, they will take back the money from the stationer’s bank account. I will still have the pen and the stationer will have lost the money.

With regard to Landslide, a refund is a request made for money to be returned by a subscriber and [2] a chargeback is a request made for money to be returned by a webmaster for a particular user subscription.

[1] is an answer that stands, whereas [2] seems to attempt to change the position in relation to Landslide, which is not correct. In the case of Landslide it is the same, a chargeback would be expected to materialise when the credit card company imposes a reversal after determining the transaction was fraud, the webmaster is unlikely to be involved at all, except in so far as they wouldn't receive money or Landslide would deduct funds from future payments. Additional charges are levied for charge-backs, and so Landslide were unlikely to welcome such events.

It is the role of forensic experts to investigate and report on fraud. Dr Sam Type says that chargebacks normally represent fraud, so were there any indicators that stand out on their own? An extract of the SOCA exhibits list includes:

SAG/129 Charge backs October 1998
SAG/130 Charge backs August 1998
SAG/131 Charge backs June 1998

puff in the guardian

Police are failing to investigate thousands of people who are suspected of accessing paedophile websites because of lack of resources, say child protection experts.

Businesses like NSPCC, NCH and Banardos are represented by John Carr and presented as charities. This is merely a deception, the business is child exploitation in contravention of international treaty, and the funding is provided directly by the state, reportedly John Carr's home charity NCH is 88% funded by the state.

The European Commission has become so concerned about the growth in online child pornography that it has set up special hotlines for members of the public to report illegal content on the internet.

This is commercial politics of the most evil kind as it is part of the infection of nations afar. Hotlines are being sponsored directly by Microsoft and the European State in partnership, though who owns who is not in doubt, as Microsoft owns shares in the American Department of Justice, charges against the company by every state of America being wiped out by presidential order.

But he admitted there was now a need for the government to wake up to the scale of the problem. Gamble asked: 'Do I need more people? Yes, of course I do.'

This is government policy presented backwards, the routine 180 spin, the puff piece just evidence that the people have been replaced by the media as discussed at critest.

Imagine a city torn by sectarian strife. Competing death squads roam the streets; terrorists stage horrific attacks. Local authority is distrusted and weak; local populations protect the extremists in their midst, out of loyalty or fear. A bristling military occupation exacerbates tensions at every turn, while offering prime targets for bombs and snipers. And behind the scenes, in a shadow world of double-cross and double-bluff, covert units of the occupying power run agents on both sides of the civil war, countenancing - and sometimes directing - assassinations, terrorist strikes, torture sessions, and ethnic cleansing.

Muslims shot, assaulted, accused of terrorism, money laundering and child pornography face no charges, and the IPCC has suggested the Metropolitan Police say sorry.

Those who analyse the media in this territory will not have failed to notice the recent propaganda exercise pointing to Austria, indeed advanced notice went up on this site. Things came a little unglued in Ireland when RTE television were caught on the hop rather than having been given names and an accompanying story in advance. False information emerging from the Guardia did not satisfy RTE's porn addiction and once again the Republic of Ireland was a point of fracture.

Mr Murdoch facing defeat in the battle against the Internet and the truth took the almost unprecedented step of admitting to fiddling the news, the former chief intelligence analyst of the CIA recently said there is no media in America. The UK fares rather worse as can be seen from the false information in the samples below.

time/cnn (20/08/2001)

The FBI's arrest of more than 100 people for subscribing to child porn over the Internet was accompanied by little of the usual debate over possible entrapment. Opposing child-porn prosecution is surely the fastest way to lose public support. But another reason, investigators say, is that they were careful to avoid such charges. Lieut. Bill Walsh of the Dallas police department, which developed more than half the cases against Landslide Productions and its customers, says agents made contact with people who showed interest in child porn, but "if rebuffed, we didn't pursue them." Agents ignored requests for adult porn and pursued only those who asked for videos of children or for actual children to meet. "Some gave us very graphic instructions of what they wanted," says Walsh. "We allowed them to choose their own poison."

On Monday 6 August 2001, Texas computer consultant Thomas Reedy was jailed for 1,335 years for running an internet child porn ring.

Today, that investigation is continuing in the UK as officers struggle to work their way through evidence against an estimated 7,000 suspects.

The horrors of 'Lives' in a police state

... imagine living in a country, the former East Germany, in which the secret police, known as the Stasi, had 100,000 employees and 200,000 informants, and whose stated goal was "to know everything"

A new German film 'the lives of others' (Das Leben der Anderen) opens on Friday.

media becomes the news

RTE and BBC television attempted to pass off fiction as fact knowing full well the consequences. When the Broadcasting Complaints Commission were brought in, they lied too knowing full well the consequences. The media have hounded people to death, not a word was said the first time this happened, for the blood sport media needs its victims, they want you to be angry enough that you write half of the story in your head, and if you stop thinking, you won't realise who is choosing what you think.

Everything you read in newspapers is absolutely true, except for that rare story of which you happen to have first-hand knowledge. - Erwin Knoll

The background to a recent update on deceptions by the BBC and RTE was previously available at inquisition21. The link for this is no longer functional, so background on FBI Special Agent Frank Super is reconstructed here so the significance of 1997 is set in context.

The broadcast deception by RTE and the BBC in May 2006 included former prosecuting attorney Terri Moore re-asserting the version of the story that was told at the trial, Agent Frank Super was green, but behind the scenes it is said she had some choice expressions of her own for this agent. To her credit as a prosecutor, she won without a case in what was effectively the first Operation Ore trial.

Special Agent Frank Super being green doesn't quite cut it. If the person he met was not even employed, the child pornography site didn't exist and it was the wrong building for Landslide, apart from going to the toilet what Frank Super was doing there remains a mystery.

The 1998 investigation is evidenced, a communication dated 07/08/1998 to the Sri Lankan CID included the following:

I apologize for the delay in responding to your request in the captioned matter. The FBI has many on-going investigations involving credit cards frauds on the Internet. It is a significant problem confronting all of us as "consumers."

Our records have no adverse information regarding Landslide Productions or Thomas Reedy.

In a court room in Dallas Fort Worth, with judge Means presiding, evidence confirms that courtesy of Texas FBI Special Agent Frank Super, history was re-written.

We will not be analysing the recent visit by James Gamble (SOCA) and John Carr (NCH) to the House of Lords. John Carr, who works for SOCA, child advocates and the Home Office to name a few, is retained by NCH as an expert.

According to an article released in the Guardian today,  NCH a listed charity receives 88% of their funding from the state. In a nation where real child care neither exists nor is on offer, one only has to follow the money to see why. (accounts)

Irish story continues - deception in the media

We revisit the 'RTE factual' broadcast 'chain reactions' that was subject to a number of complaints, one of the grandest media deceptions since the circus began in Dallas Fort Worth back in 1999 with the BBC in tow. The BBC, BCC and RTE have robustly stood by facts which were challenged by complaint, facts which were false, facts that in many instances they could easily verify at a glance were false. So numerous are the examples (some visited before) it would be hard to conclude other than that the deceptions were wilful.

The Hutton

RTÉ's view is that the programme was factually accurate, impartial and objective.

This is when untruth becomes a lie and a sample comment from the rejection is used to illustrate the point:

This was not an insignificant lie, this relates to a critical weakness in the prosecution case in Texas, and Terri Moore then prosecuting attorney now failed politician and Special Agent Frank Super of the infamous Texas FBI presented lies in court, in the case of Frank Super, evidenced perjury. Agent Frank Super was called by the defence and had he told the truth, there would have been no trial, no chain reaction and the Republic of Ireland would have kept more of their sovereignty and peace, not to mention the legal requirement that was dismembered; the presumption of innocence. As inquisition21 disclosed the investigation in 1997 never happened.

Imagine if RTE hadn't been discovered, but they were discovered.

Three transactions on one of the Sri Lankan minister's credit cards were of an adult nature, the Landslide transaction was processed on the 11th of May 1998, but for RTE to admit this, their story about Frank Super being green and just out of school would have been a myth and Operation Amethyst which has been running for five years exposed as a  rather ugly sham. As has been seen by the medieval pillory and devastation, the marriage of RTE and Texas is a marriage made in hell.

RTE television attempts to defend the messengers were as bold as they were foolish, as it was the messages which faced challenge. That said, RTE made one concession:

The productions team's research was extremely thorough. They were fully aware that an element of controversy had arisen out of statements made by Law Enforcement Agencies in the US relating to Landslide.

Are these independent broadcasters or do they work for Microsoft? Who really runs RTE television, where are these people, what are they doing today?
