Dear Dec Please leave out my e-mail TIA.(and thanks for helping me clean my clock.) Following on from previous Politech posts at... http://www.politechbot.com/cgi-bin/politech.cgi?name=proffr An important case for free speech online is due soon in Melb.au.Professor rat,(me),an entertainment journalist with the Indymedia group is charged with 2 counts of ,'threat's to kill,' and two counts of using a device to menace. It's possible to get 20 years for these offences,(a multiple rapist was sentenced to 45 years for 3 rape offences recently here.) Discovery has revealed 2 main pieces of evidence supposedly copies from a 'ghost' copy of the entire seized hard drive.One looks like an e-mail that's time stamped with the same date as the offending post and was sent to 'self',the time difference is at least an hour.Someone apparently copied and sent back to self the post within a couple of hours.This someone is assumed to be me by the police complainant. The other piece is supposedly a copy off the main copy that is a screen shot of the second offending post as seen at Indymedia.Its not conventually time stamped at all. In au legal aid is very hard to obtain and lawyers actually held a street march recently in Melbourne, to call for more funding.I was approved in January, of aid to regain my laptop,this was unsuccessful. The police have managed to lie to me,steal from me,lock me up in cells since condemned unfit for humans,kept my depreciating computer over a year,colluded with my mental health team to increase my medication 3 or 4 times,have me tested with needles in another town at some expense to me.When that 'treatment' was refused I was nearly certified for a weekend for no reason. US interest has been exposed by federal police documents obtained under the FOI act.Documents exhibit a PROMIS # no.Complaints to the professional standards department of the AFP are underway as are ones to the Health commission.My case worker said that extradition to the US was mentioned as a possibility.(Cinci or the pacifier letters?) Anyone who doubts APster ,simply as a TACTIC is missing the boat.Declan is correct to describe the AP essay as a long winded screed,I am personally mainly interested in the 'soft drilling' part of it, (and the LEOs extraordinary response to it.) I was diagnosed with simple schizophrenia in the early eighties.I am prescribed Olanzapine.(Zoloft) The post described as one of my typical rants is in fact a selected repost from the C/punks list,circa 1996.I don't apologize for posting as much as possible before being gagged and/or imprisoned like JB and CJ. Plainly there is insufficient evidence to bring State charges,a sen.Conts.Martin Holland is on record for stating in court that,"anyone can download there,"(at Indy.) The complainant,sen.Conts nic Conte,came at me with a knife at the police station and sliced my drawstring off my jogging pants.8 months after surfing Indy and downloading 'evidence' to hard copy he claims to,"know nothing about computers." The computer squad officer took the 'threats' so seriously that the next day after my laptop was seized he started off on another case.(a pedophile in a Govt office) Conte claims to be afraid of threats of 'molotovs'.About a month ago police in Italy admitted to planting actual molotovs to justify an extremely violent raid on an Indymedia location. Trial is adversarial in au and sept's hearing is a "contest mention."before a Magistrate.I have a list of questions yet have not met my lawyer yet,his name is Jarrod Williams and he has been referred to me by Cameron Ford at Kyneton's firm,Palmer,Stevens and Rennick.Win lose or draw,I look forward to this case finally being heard,snippets of info are available as they come to hand at C/punks and I will post a detailed impression of the trial there and on Melbourne Indymedia. Re The improper psychiatric interference under the guise of 'investigation.' <snip> I just wrote this to an aussie anarchist... Subject: 'Russian" psychiatry in au An country Vic an anarchist has obtained under FOI,evidence that Federal police and a Mental Health team plotted to increase his medication 3 or 4 times and stick needles in him to monitor drugs.The patient would have had to pay to get to his blood tests.(in another town.) This collusion occurred earlier this year and the evidence for the proposed actions was secret.Several lines are blacked out though a reference to US input remains as does a PROMIS no on a couple of the documents.When the anarchist rang to complain to the 'professional standards' Dept of the Federal Police he was asked for his PROMIS hash no.The use of PROMIS in several countries is suspected as a tool of repression and murder.(Guatamala,occupied Palestine and the old South Africa.It is a software tracking method originally stolen from a small Co called INSLAW by the justice Dept of the US Govt. In Russia dissidents had a special diagnosis called 'sluggish schizophrenia.There was a story in last weekends australian about instituting guidelines for the chaining of mental patients to their beds in Adelaide Hospital. Privacy legislation is meant to protect patients records so a complaint has been made to the Health Commission of Vic.When a response is forthcoming further complaints may ensue ,to the professional bodies of those State criminals, involved in this sordid and disquieting episode. yrs etc. Patient X
