BLOGGERS AND THE BANNED

Jersey Bloggers Publish Evidence

Of Attempt by Jersey Attorney General
To ‘Fit-Up’ Police Officers.

(A not entirely un-ironic occurrence.)
Rico Sorda:
Voice For Children:
It’s a good thing that the average I.Q of Jersey blog readers is so much higher than that of the audience of the Jersey Evening Post & BBC Jersey. Though Jersey bloggers publish evidence and provide detailed explanations, still our readers have to have that intellectual capacity necessary to piece certain things together for themselves – to take the material we provide, and derive the obvious conclusions. Our readers know-the-score – and can do some self-assembly; are open to a little res ipso loquitur, as it were.
I was speaking of such matters with friends recently, and they were, with chronic optimism arguing that most people had that capacity to put 2 and 2 together – that ability to see the bleeding obvious. As is my miserablist wont, I scorned such foolishness, suggesting that people have the government they deserve, were intellectually lazy, and would readily fall for the most crude and obvious media-manipulation campaigns, even when the propaganda was against their own interests.
And let’s face it, my theory is certainly testable. Well, I mean if I was right, and people weren’t smart, they might fall prey to a spin-doctored astroturfing campaign; one designed to whip-up the gullible and foolish in “patriotic” outrage at a suggestion that Jersey was so backward, even in the 21st century, that it banned books the oligarchy didn’t like. You know? Just like the astroturfing PR campaign of the last ten days whipped-up against American journalist & author Leah McGrath-Goodman? And if there were so many people in Jersey who hadn’t yet understood the true nature of what’s going on, they might even need a full, book-length explanation of the evidence, the history and the facts?
Alas, you shan’t be able to read the book I’ve written - because it’s banned in Jersey.
And ask me not to explain why.
Because that’s banned too.
I recently resumed the discussion with my friends who tentatively asked me what I made of the spectacle of a section of the Jersey population being led by the nose – on a witch-hunt – against an investigative journalist - against an author – in an expensive professional astroturfing PR campaign – funded with their own taxes – designed to conceal child-abuse – fed by internet “outrage” about as real as Donald Trump’s hair – because she suggested the Jersey establishment bans books? I replied saying I’d put a fuller explanation in the book, and promised to try and smuggle few copies in once it’s printed, but to be going on with, I said it was funny. Like Samuel Becket “funny”. On Tuinal.
So, as there isn’t much point in waiting for the books in Jersey – as I’m sure Leah McGrath-Goodman’s will meet the same fate as mine – let’s do a little more intellectual self-assembly via Jersey’s bloggers who happily continue to provide the truth as shown in some recent postings.
And just what dynamite postings they are.
So good, in fact, that even Channel Television plagiarised the story – even though they did actively try to con their viewers by falsely claiming it as an “exclusive”, when in fact it could be read in full on the blogs for the previous 36 hours. Still, I suppose we mustn’t complain; for an operation that usually exhibits about as much familiarity with the truth as a Lance Armstrong deposition, we should be grateful they ran the story.
Thanks to Jersey’s independent media – the bloggers – you can read some sensational key evidence concerning attempts by the Jersey Attorney General to fit-up three police officers as scapegoats in the face of legal doubts over an operation that saw the arrest and conviction of drug-gangster Curtis Warren.
And make no mistake as to the apocalyptic nature of what is revealed to have gone on behind the trumped-up disciplinary-charges against the officers. For example – original, signed witness-statements being “transcribed” - and then only being supplied in unsigned, “transcribed” format. Predictably – serious questions concerning the “veracity” of these copies then arose.
And more sensational yet – an expert witness – whose expert-witness report is – reputedly – damning of the Crown position – being excluded from the process – along with his report. (Now, this seems familiar?)
And it is no small curiosity that the public moneys used to pay this expert witness – cannot be identified, traced and accounted either.
If you want to read the facts for yourself – and let’s face it, there’s little point in waiting for it all to come out in book-form, as it would be banned in Jersey - it is to the bloggers you must turn, and in this case in particular, Rico Sorda, and Voice For Children. The relevant postings can be read here:
And when reading the explanations and facts at those two postings, remember – this is dramatic public-interest evidence that your government and your Crown Prosecution Service has attempted to conceal; conceal from you – conceal from your elected representatives.
This story has yet to run its course. More evidence will emerge. Indeed, it now must.
In the mean-time, things are clear enough already to begin asking some serious questions about the cohesion, direction and health of policing in Jersey.  And - even more so - the very lawfulness of what passes for a prosecution function in the island.
This much can be said with certainty of the States of Jersey Police Force; at present it and its officers are directionless, demoralised, ethically adrift, morally confused, legally ignorant and jeopardized, uncertain of purpose, and have been – plainly - wholly devoid of competent, honest, leadership since the criminally illegal suspension of the fine Police Chief Graham Power, Queens Police Medal.
Meanwhile – for those able to distinguish evidenced facts from astroturfing (see link below) do read Jersey’s bloggers.
And make the most of us whilst you have us. For it may not be long before locally based bloggers are banned – just like dissident books.
That is not a joke.

I have given Mr Bowron a chance to prove himself, but have come to the conclusion that he is a "useful idiot" deliberately employed by the establishment to have a presentable face and re-introduce bobbies on the beat and police motorcycles to impress and placate the public.

He isn't concerned with politics, just happy to have the role on his CV. So don't expect him to rock the boat and try to make any moves towards actual justice over here.

Am I right?

It was funny seeing several real individuals follow the astroturfed sockpuppets down the rabbit hole. We can see some were real people because they ultimately accepted as fact some of the evidence which was linked to them.

What should be of equally grave concern is the oppression of bloggers, not only because of the principles of free speech, but because there are simply no other investigative journalists in Jersey.

there’s little point in waiting for it all to come out in book form, as it would be banned in Jersey.

Stuart,

Consider for a moment the wild popularity of 50 Shades of Grey.

Consider that the reason that it is so popular is not that the books have sold, but that it has been downloaded onto numerous e-readers, and people can only see the reader case, not what is stored inside.

Consider that the cost of a firewall to keep access to an e-book of the sort you describe would be way beyond Jersey's means, and that there is nothing to stop people crossing over to France, England or even Guernsey and loading the book up there. The idea that Jersey customs officers could begin to cope with checking all laptops, pen drives and readers for banned material is too absurd for words.

Time to get writing...

A RECORD OF U.S. FAMILY COURTS SACRIFICING
MOTHERS & CHILDREN
Family Courts Behind an Epidemic of Pedophilia & Judicial Abuse

Posted 23 January 2013

The below-referenced chart lists over 75 family court cases in Connecticut where children's safety and well being has been jeopardized by unethical and even illegal activities of court professionals who routinely target, extort and exploit Connecticut mothers. In many of these cases, where mothers reported a father's violent crimes against her family, the mother eventually lost custody to the wealthier father when he -- the real perpetrator -- accused her of alienation. Violent fathers almost always won sole or joint custody of victims, and in some cases these fathers even went on to become mass murderers. Insurance companies and the State are being defrauded by medical and mental health professionals who are routinely rewarded handsomely for submitting false claims that misdiagnose fit and loving mothers and their children with mental disorders they do not have; they are also providing diagnosis and treatment plans that are considered illegitimate by the AMA and APA. Meanwhile, the same professionals justify their billing by deliberately recommending to judges the placement of children in the care of violent fathers, even rapists, and by shielding these offenders from criminal prosecution that might otherwise keep children safe. The effect is that the whole family becomes damaged and in need of treatment, and are subsequently required to obtain ongoing court affiliated medical and legal professional services.

Some of these cases were outlined in the May 2012 Conscious Being Alliance story A Life Sentence. The summary of cases spans the past 20 years, with older and newer cases, and where many cases were drawn out over a decade, or more. Ctd....

I was blocked from giving evidence of being assaulted in front of approx 40 witnesses at Stafford Hospital A and E, the assault didn't only have witnesses, it happened right in front of the big desk in the A and E and would therefore have been caught on CTV.

I made a statement to one of the the lawyers who was employed to investigate the abuse at Stafford Hospital, but Robert Francis told me my case was "not cost effective", those are the very words that he used to me, he phoned me up and said they would not be using my evidence, and I was really upset.

I did think the reason I had been blocked was because of being a Pindown child abuse victim, but now I am wondering if it could have been because they didnt want any actual staff to be prosecuted, because if my case would have been part of the investigation there would definatly have been CTV footage and a large number of witnesses, the old people who got murdered by systematic neglect at Stafford Hospital would not have had as many eyes watching the abuse.

Dear Stuart,

It would seem that two Kenyans are to be extradited to Jersey to face 'money laundering' charges. This does beg the questions:-
a) How was this allowed to happen in the first place.
b) Who were the lawyers, accountants, and banks / finacial wheeler dealers involved.
c) Why are these individuals not to be prosecuted alaong with the kenyans.
d) How much of OUR money (taxpayers) has been spent todate with this farce and perhaps more importantly why has the cost of all this not been bourne by the Lawyers, accountants etc.

Its not just cows in this Island that get milked.

Madame Fifi, The All Knowing and Perfect Predictor, sees a sum of fifty million being divided into the fifty heads of Hydra. One head will rage against allowing a popular blog to publicly show a million world readers. All must observe this number.

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

The COCF - Criminal Offences Confiscation Fund - is a good deal more than mere 'fines'. It is a vast fund into which many millions of pounds are routinely seized from things such as money-laundering, tax-evasion, drugs money etc, etc.

The COCF is routinely filled with very substantial amounts of money - sometimes many millions - following investigation and prosecution decisions led by the Jersey Financial Services Commission - Deputy Chairman one John Averty.

Many of the funds so seized will - after expenses etc - be repatriated to the jurisdictions from which it was improperly taken, if money-laundering or tax-evasion.

But very large quantities of the funds so seized are simply accumulated into the fund - which is then, along with interest earned, carved-up and spent - distributed - by Attorneys General - on employing their friends in the legal profession - in Jersey - in London - and elsewhere.

7 Bedford Row - for example. And various London legal practices are kept on "retainers" from this fund.

It will also be used to employ spin-doctors, employ the various judges the Jersey oligarchs bring in from amongst their friends and contacts in London - and pay various other "court and case-costs" - whatever they may be.

The COCF will also be used to fund bribes.

It is - essentially - the Jersey oligarchy's slush-fund and great racket.

It is criminal racketeering - hiding in plain-sight - and cloaked under the good name of the Crown.

Thanks for your take on the COCF Stuart.

So lets get this right using another example.

The tax department and all staff funded by the taxpayers carry out work.

They then fine late payers and those that fiddle their taxes. Then that money is put into a fund that is separated from the general income revenue.

It is then earmarked to give some back to the department and the rest to be spend however they so wish because no public accounts are published.

Jesus , If a states department did this there would be an outcry, how can the law department can get away with this extortion, or should that be unaccountable theft from the public purse.

I have now obtained all the fuel and b....t required to convince someone to part company with loads of hard cash. I have been advised that the Island of Jersey has some truly inspired fools, sorry I meant to say fully informed persons who are easily convinced to part company with vast sums of money (not theirs of course)for just such a cause as mine, what are my chances do you think? I will of course promise (not in writing mind)that I will make this film...cough...cough.

Ah yes, the great film scandal. A perfect diversionary story for the JEP. They get to play at being a real newspaper, championing a cause dear to Jersey voters' hearts: money. No doubt a sacrificial lamb or two will be found to show how tough our government is on incompetence. A chance to display lots of manufactured indignation.

All the while ignoring the millions of pounds squandered trying to persecute islanders who got a bit close to exposing those who hold the levers of power.

Remind me again how much all the various enquiries into Graham Power and Lenny Harper cost?

Just thought that you would be interested to know of this question being put forward, and look forward to your comments.

18. H.M. Attorney General will table an answer to the following question asked by the Deputy of Grouville –
“Further to the rezoning of 7 sites for sheltered housing in July 2008, and the referral of 2 constituents with their complaints to the States of Jersey Police that same year, could the Attorney General inform members whether he or the Solicitor General were asked to review papers referred to them by the States of Jersey Police with a view to instigating a prosecution and, if so, did these papers refer to all the sites? If not, how many sites were referred to in the papers considered?”

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

Well, I can say this for a stone fact - if any papers did go to the Attorney General, those papers were utterly defective, ultra vires - and almost certainly fraudulent.

Because no matter what certain senior States of Jersey Police Officers may claim - no "investigation" that meets the legal definition of being an investigation, took place.

Numerous key witnesses were never even contacted - let alone interviewed.

But - who was directing and advising that fake "investigation"?

It was the Attorney General.

Hey - as the events of the last five years prove - the number 1 methodology of successive Jersey Attorney Generals - for dodging out of having to make profoundly politically and personally damaging prosecution decisions - is to "head-off-at-the-pass" the police investigations, so that they never get to the stage of full, completed prosecution files landing on the AG's desk.

Of course - that customary Jersey oligarchy means of perverting the law slipped, when - by accident - they found themselves with a leadership of the Police Force that were straight, honest and tough - in Graham Power and Lenny Harper.

Hence the insane and desperate folly of illegally suspending Police Chief Graham Power; an act that - the moment it was committed - contained the seeds of the destruction of the Jersey establishment.

There were several serious police investigations that the Attorney General just had to "head-off-at-the-pass" - and suspending the Police Chief seemed like the "perfect solution" at the time.

Obviously, the child abuse - and the planning corruption - were two of those investigations.

But - as remarkable as it may seem - those two criminal investigations weren't the primary motivation for criminally suspending the Police Chief.

There was another investigation underway in 2008 - and getting very, very near to completion.

That investigation was, effectively, sabotaged by the illegal suspension of Graham Power.

It's all in the legal action I'm bringing against the Crown in London.

The hammer's dropping.

Looking forward to a full page interview in the Jersey Evening Post given by Ms McGrath Goodman, an established author, to read her view on this story when she arrives back in Jersey, after all its called balanced, professional and fair reporting.

-----------------------
"All you commenters aren't being shown the whole picture. The JEP story was that an "email is circulating" because of Minister Duhamel's "reported as disastrous" speech at this dinner. If anyone cares to look back at Trevor Pitman's blog you will clearly see that this knife in the back was planned weeks ago. Unless certain other Ministers have access to a time machine that all rather blows the convenient cover story the JEP has been fed completely out of the water.

"The Bald Truth" blog predicted this coup weeks ago - it is apparently rooted in Senator Bailhache who was mightily miffed that Duhamel's granting of planning permission to the wannabe Plemont despoilers jacked up the potential purchase price of the land and thereby tipped the vote against Senator Bailhache's personal project. Now, I am angry that Plemont was granted permission but Duhamel had little other choice under the Planning Law, given the long history of the proposed development's applications and promises before he became Minister. In essence, it appears that Bailhache threw his toys out of the pram and screamed "off with his head" because Minister Duhamel actually applied the Planning Law against his wishes.

What does this show about Senator Bailhache's true respect for the Law? Coming from his former legal life, he should really have the utmost respect for, and favour an honest application of, the Law. If he had a problem with the law he should have lobbied to change it. The last thing we want to believe about him is that he believes the Law should only apply when it fits his objectives and that he feels entitled to exact a terrible revenge when he is thwarted.

This situation needs to be cleared up soon and the bright light of day needs to be shone onto any hidden Machiavellian anti democratic activity."

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

A reader says:

"Why are you bothering with the UK.They are probably more complicit in cover ups than our own government and i am sure there is some political or financial reason why they fail to investigate the numerous crimes committed by our own power group."

The question answers itself.

Of course the relevant powers-that-be in UK are more complicit in the cover-ups.

The naked corruption we see in Jersey is, in fact, corruption by the UK establishment. Jersey is its sewer.

The legal cases I'm pursuing - all of which in their different ways arise out of the total - and I mean total and overt - corruption of the entire Jersey polity - come down to collusive and conspiratorial conduct of the UK - the Crown - and its powers in London.

And the reason the jaw-dropping levels of overt corruption and terrorist-levels of anti-democratic political repression are allowed to be conducted in Jersey under the name of the Crown - are all because of those very financial reasons the questioner raises.

And I - and all of the other victims in Jersey - want, and will get, justice.

And that means the detail - the facts - the evidence - of all the failings, misfeasance and out-and-out crimes - being examined in microscopic detail - in open court - in each case.

That outcome - that manifestation of the administration of justice and the very rule of law - is not achievable via some individual application to a transnational body such as the ECtHR.

That tribunal does not - and will not - examine questions of fact and of evidence.

Nor will it re-examine individual, detailed decisions already made by domestic courts.

The ECtHR will only consider the broad, principle questions of whether a breach of the Articles of the ECHR have occurred.

And that is not - nor could ever be - satisfactory to those of us who seek the basic protection of the rule of law in Jersey.

Some vague - theoretical - very, very distant - potential decision of an external body such such as the ECtHR, to the effect a particular law or procedure may have amounted to an abuse of our Rights - can never be an adequate - or lawful - substitute for a proper, functional law-enforcement system that actually charges and prosecutes those who have defrauded, battered, injured, threatened, abused, raped or oppressed us.

People living in Jersey have a right to the basic protections of the proper rule of law.

And the stark failure of the Crown to provide such protection - and, in fact, to collude with the corruption and oppression - will be fought out - in microscopic - evidenced - case-specific - detail - through London's courts.

The Crown and its agents will be answerable for the maniacs and gangsters it has let run riot in Jersey.

Stuart, I am interested to know what you think of the current goings-on with Rob Duhamel. I recall you were very disparaging about him last time he was up for election, but to be honest he was more or less invisible until he was appointed Planning Minister.

I'm guessing he is being tied-up like a kipper because he crossed the Dear Leader.

Why were you so critical of him, and what do you think is going on now?

Ex-Senator Stuart Syvret said...

I was critical of Rob Duhamel for many reasons.

Not least because he is an extreme example of the typical Jersey politician - in that his constant and overriding consideration - to which all others are subsumed - is his own political advantage.

"What is best for the greater glory of Rob Duhamel" - has always been his No. 1 consideration.

However - as events show - he also suffers from that other great affliction that defines the average Jersey politician - namely being actually - and quite obviously - pretty thick - whilst labouring under the self-delusion of being some kind of "genius".

In Duhamel's case, the above are compounded with his utter unreliability - his sheer duplicity.

Remember when the oligarchy decided that a really, really good and fair way of raising tax in Jersey was to put tax on food - so that the poor had to pay tax to eat - whilst all the vast loopholes that serve the rich remained unchallenged?

I, and then a few others, made repeated attempts to get sales tax taken off basic foodstuffs.

Rob Duhamel -in front of witnesses - said prior to one of those votes he'd support us.

He then voted against the amendment - which was tied - so defeated.

So every time you look at Rob Duhamel - and think about him - always remember - "I and my family are paying tax on our bread and fruit because of Rob Duhamel."

Then there were all the times he strive to sabotage the Town Park project - to utterly wreck it - in a fit of jealousy because it was my idea not his.

And if that's not bad enough - just ask yourself - in all the years his been in the States - what significant thing - even one thing - has he achieved?

Rob Duhamel is one of those States members who's gone through his career calculatedly playing off one end against the other; trying to have his cake and eat it; trying to be some kind of "cunning" Machiavellian schemer.

The plain and brutal reality is that he is a personally inadequate clown.

So the oligarchy have got the knives out for him? So what?

It isn't as though he'll be any kind of loss.

The lesson here - for Rob Duhamel - and not a few other States members - is this: "do not come crying to the anti-establishment side - after years of ineffectual dithering at best, and often years of supporting the oligarchy."

So Bailhache is terminating Duhamel?

So what?

Duhamel, the food-taxer, was always useless, unreliable & no friend of ordinary people.

Let the vote of no-confidence in him happen; let him get sacked from the Ministry; let him accumulate all of that damage.

Then the progressive side should run a strong candidate against the two-faced clown in the next election.

The progressive cause in Jersey has to stop being taken for mugs.

No more forgiveness for these clowns and class-traitors.

They want the support of the general public? They're going to have to earn it - consistently - over the years - and not just come crying when the Jersey mafia inevitably do-a-number on them.

About "Anyone seen accounts for the confiscation fund?" and the set of comments after . . .

Before the 2010 debate on Le Gresley's request that the Ministers reconsider their decision NOT to hold a Committee of Inquiry into Child Abuse, Francis asked a Written Question about this Fund

1240/5(6031)
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR TREASURY AND RESOURCES
BY SENATOR F. du H. LE GRESLEY
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 15th FEBRUARY 2011

Question

Would the Minister, after consultation with H.M. Attorney General if necessary, advise if the use of money in the Criminal Offences Confiscations Fund could be applied for the purpose of funding the cost of a Committee of Inquiry into historical child abuse by virtue of Article 24 (4)(a)(ii) of the Proceeds of Crime (Jersey) Law 1999 which states that “the Fund shall be applied by the Minister…. in promoting or supporting measures that, in the opinion of the Minister, may assist….. in dealing with the consequences of criminal conduct”?

Would the Minister also advise the current balance of the Criminal Offences Confiscations Fund?

The Key Points of the answer were these:

• the Minister shall consult the Attorney General
• it would be difficult to construe such an Inquiry as "dealing with the consequences" of criminal conduct (Art 24(4)(ii))
• The total available balance in the COCF as at 31 December 2010 was £8,257,520.

I reproduce the full answer at the end.




I well remember in the debate using two or three Annual Reports of the COCF, showing the amount of money in them, and showing the uses to which the money had been put in the past – which were FAR FURTHER from the criteria stated in this answer than the CoI.

In fact the CoI fits PERFECTLY within the criteria.

I am pretty sure that the AG got up and said - no, no, the COCF cannot be used for this.

I had to read out, again, the criteria for the use of the Fund, which clearly included the CoI.

The fact that the AG stated in this little argument the exact opposite of the truth is “similar fact evidence” that his advice is not to be trusted. Another interpretation is that lawyers often do not agree!


Here is the full answer


"Having consulted with H.M. Attorney General, I have reached the view that monies in the Criminal Offences Confiscation Fund ("COCF") are unlikely to be capable of being applied for the purpose of funding the cost of a Committee of Inquiry into historical child abuse.

The COCF is established under Article 24 of the Proceeds of Crime (Jersey) Law 1999. Article 24(4) sets out the circumstances in which the COCF, which is separate from the general revenues of the States, can be used. Article 24(4) and (5) are the relevant provisions:

(4) Subject to paragraph (5), monies in the Fund shall be applied by the Minister for the following purposes, that is to say –

(a) in promoting or supporting measures that, in the opinion of the Minister, may assist –

(i) in preventing, suppressing or otherwise dealing with criminal conduct,

(ii) in dealing with the consequences of criminal conduct, or

(iii) without prejudice to the generality of clauses (i) and (ii), in facilitating the enforcement of any enactment dealing with criminal conduct;

(b) ……………

(c) …………..

(5) Before promoting or supporting any measure under paragraph (4)(a), the Minister shall consult the Attorney General and other persons or bodies (including other Ministers) as the Minister considers appropriate.

Where there has already been a full criminal investigation and prosecutions have taken place, it would be difficult to construe such an Inquiry as "dealing with the consequences" of criminal conduct (Art 24(4)(ii)).

A final view could be taken when the terms of reference of any such Committee of Inquiry are published. However, on the basis of present information, any link with criminal conduct is likely to be indirect or tangential.

The total available balance in the COCF as at 31 December 2010 was £8,257,520."

The COCF is the central slush-fund used by the criminal racketeering enterprise that is the Crown franchise in Jersey.

It is accumulated - often illegally involving prosecution and judicial corruption - and is then spent by the succession of plain, overt criminals that are Jersey Attorney Generals on buying the "services" of their friends in the legal profession - and judiciary - in Jersey - and in London.

And - of course - various spin-doctors and journalists.

And - most significantly - purchasing various Whitehall mandarins.

Jersey is a mafia operation - run in the name of - and protected by - the Crown.

I am persuaded that Jersey is a criminal enterprise with dirty deeds afforded by a Criminal Confiscation (Slush) Fund. We can see how they use highly placed paedophiles to maintain strategic control of civil and political authority. Nevertheless, for Jersey to function this way, such an entrenched level of criminality must be enforced by the Crown, not merely tolerated. Is that correct?
