Extract re John Anthony Hill, arrested for mailing a DVD 

We know, in the past, at times of tension, the major authorities have come down heavy-handed and just took no nonsense, supposedly, from people who simply spoke up against certain policies. We look at the Middle Ages and think those times have gone, when they made you kiss the king's ring and they gave you a quick execution; and if not, they'd hang you, they'd draw you and quarter you, which took quite some time, and it wasn't very pleasant at all. That was often done for political views or even a condemnation of some policy of the king or queen or whatever; and what they always tell you is you can't interfere with their judicial system. Once again, under the law, their law you see, which is so wide to interpretation (that's why they have lawyers) that they can expand that, to include so many things.

Well, there's a man who made - and I've mentioned this video before - the 7/7 Ripple Effect video - it's up there on the internet for everyone to see, it's been up for a long time, and his name is John Anthony Hill. He produced it and it was to do with the bombings in London. He strung together, basically, a whole bunch of articles that were shown publicly on national television and from newspapers and so on and made this documentary. Because of what happened, he's now been arrested and, at the moment, he's in Ireland, Southern Ireland and the EU have got a warrant out and they charged him with extradition back to England, to Westminster, to stand trial for interference, in some way or another, they claim, with a court case that was going on to do, not so much with the bombers who were blown up, supposedly, but acquaintances of the bombers, at the trial that was going on at the time. This is an article from the WiseUp Journal the 16th March 2009, by Gabriel O'Hara and it says: 

Message from Mr. Hill arrested for mailing a DVD 

We met with John Anthony Hill who got arrested for mailing a DVD 

This is the man who made it, he mailed a copy off. 

with no letter attached) to a UK court from Ireland (reported by the Irish Times).  

I have the link here and I'll put it on my site at the end of the show. 

John is also the producer and narrator of this DVD. Mr Hill, 60 years old, showed us his arrest warrant and gave us permission to pass on information contained in it. The maximum sentence on the warrant 

Which they claim, apparently, is for trying to pervert, or possibly, or maybe, or perhaps, pervert the course of justice). The sentence on the warrant: 

is Life Imprisonment in England. John had his computer and other property seized which is why he requested other people to help him as he is not able to defend him self properly as a result.  

He doesn't have the computers and so on. 

The phoney charge is possibly fabricating evidence that might cause injustice and this is from the same country that helped put people in Guantánamo and other torture facilities world-wide. 

And that's true. I've read articles too, where they actually admit they farm it out; you see, keeps their own hands nice and clean. 

The DVD only contains main stream media news (BBC, ITV, New York Times etc) and the small remainder is his political opinion which as of yet no one is legally supposed to be extradited for, within the EU. The DVDs were also never given to the Judge or Foreman of the trial which is to do with 3 men never mentioned in the DVD. 

These are the supposed friends or acquaintances or maybe acquaintances of the accused bombers. And, by the way, the security companies intercepted the DVD anyway, so the judge never got a hold of it.  

Regardless if you agree or disagree with the contents of this documentary anyone who values freedom would see there is an injustice being carried out here.  

It's a precedent this case, that's what it really is. 

John's court case is on this Thursday at the four courts in Dublin. 

This is this coming Thursday. 

Having a gathering outside would not change anything inside the court but it might get the media to shine more light on this injustice. 

And you've got to get that, those who are listening over in Ireland, you've got to make sure that they know, that people know what's going on, because they'd love to tuck this fellow away quietly, with no light on him at all. 

John is asking anyone who is not working that day (this Thursday the 19th) to come along at 1:30pm, and anyone who can take a half day. I'm not sure if handing out his DVD or flyers with information contained in the DVD on the street would be WELCOMED by the court, but it is not yet illegal to hand out free materials on the public streets of Dublin that does not promote a commercial event. Anyone who has the technical abilities to make copies or photocopy information and is able to come along might want to think of doing so. The documentary is available free on the Google videos and Youtube, 7/7 Ripple Effect. Perhaps spread this on forums and contact the media if you think it is a good idea or better yet come up with your own peaceful ideas. 

I'm sure you would want support too if injustice was being carried out against you, but you should only help because you want to. 

Then there's related articles there to do with it, when it was first reported about his arrest in the Irish Times and so on, for extradition. And it's such an iffy, a very iffy charge, attempting to pass or pervert the course of justice. How can you pervert something when you give a DVD that had nothing to do with the actual accused, the ones who are accused in that trial, the judge that he sent it to, with the follow-on from the bombings, with acquaintances and that eventually and I don't know if it was acquitted or what but he didn't have enough evidence to do anything to those guys. The judge never saw this disc.

I think it's a precedents-setting case.  It will also affect, possibly too, all journalists, because how does that affect you, if you happen to have evidence about some sort of thing going on, during a court case? Do you pass it on to the judge? Is that the inappropriate authority? Is it a pre-determined case?  Supposedly, you're to pass all information to the appropriate dealers in the information. Who's higher than the judge, if it's an enquiry about a case? Maybe it's not the information they want to hear. 

There's also videos up there, I'm sure you've seen them too, to do with various Muslims. This fellow isn't a Muslim, but there's Muslims who have been arrested too and then found not guilty, because they had cherries by the way, a bunch of cherries, a few cherries in their home and they were going to make some kind of poison out of the stones. That was the allegations; they were found not guilty and yet one of them is still under house arrest for the last two or three years, it could be indefinite. Therefore, they can find you not guilty and still keep you under house arrest forever, because they've got to find terrorist you see - to justify all the BS that we're under today; all the scrutiny individually. If you can't get terrorism on the go, they'd have to say what's all this money being spent for? What's all the hype, what's all the deprivation of privacy? What's going on? So, they've got to make it happen; it's a must-be.

What I can say about John Anthony Hill's video: it certainly makes you think, because he's using mainstream media findings, using the facts, putting it together and you're left with all these question marks. It does make you ask the right questions. It was the same with 9/11 and 9/11, we know, it was the day planned for a phoney attack on the towers; how coincidental is that? The 7/7 bombings were the same, those three areas where the bombs went off, were all scheduled for phoney bomb attacks, that same day. Come on, what's the odds of it, what's the odds of that happening? These are must-be's as far as I'm concerned, that's my personal opinion. They're must-be's, because they had to create the problem, to point the fingers, to say look, you need all the security, you can have no privacy, we've got to spy on you all. That's why, we all know that, we all know it, so why go along with the farce? Those who can help Mr. Hill, please do so. 

Before I go onto the next article, I do hope there are journalists in Ireland who are interested in this kind of story, it's a bit of a change from the usual what's the local politician doing with the local prostitute story. This is more important. I'm sure some of you could probably shake off the hang-over from St. Patrick's Day and turn up to see what's going on. At least let the public know what's happening in your own country.
