Convicted attention seeker Jack Roche called by afp as informant

Parrot Press | 21.08.2006 08:21 | Analysis | Repression | Social Struggles | World

The afp fraud and the abc propaganda, and spin should not persist any longer in the fear that our children with be indoctrinated with stupidity by imbeciles and morons making ridiculous claims in a court of law just like they were in the movies or something.

The afp fraud and the abc propaganda!
The afp fraud and the abc propaganda!


AUSTRALIA: MELBOURNE: A convicted 'attention seeker' Jack Roche now an afp informant has given hearsay evidence at the committal hearing for 13 men facing [alleged] terrorism charges in Melbourne.

For a start can someone contact john hoWARd's abc and ask them why they have stopped using the word ALLEGED? I mean is it ethical where people are being accused not to use the word alleged? At all material times?

Jack Roche now a prisoner of the state is serving nine years' jail after he contacted the AFP because he wanted to inform them about information he said he had. Only to learn that he gave himself up under new anti-terror/liberty provisions that had no real basis at common law in any Australian court at that time!

But in reality the afp must have realised he was not the full quid and so they exploited him by eventually making him a scapegoat in Prime Sinister, john hoWARd the coward's, war on terror/liberty - and eventually within the flawed context of those laws had convicted him.

But Jack Roach couldn't run a second-hand shop let alone bomb anything. However he was eventually convicted of conspiring with Al Qaeda to attack the Israeli embassy in Canberra? That's got to be a joke son!

The afp not satisfied with the fraud then sent another two agents to see Roach in January 2006, to answer questions about an [alleged] letter of introduction to train in Afghanistan that was [allegedly] found during a fishing expedition in Melbourne while raiding the homes of 13 families.

Roche says he took a similar letter to one of [keyword] 'Osama bin Laden's' camps, so he could train in [keyword] 'explosives'?

Question: Does the afp think Australian's are stupid? It appears that way. Question: Does the abc think that Australian's are stupid? It appears that way. Otherwise they wouldn't be so willing to report the stupidity!

The afp fraud and the abc propaganda, and spin should not persist any longer in the fear that our children with be indoctrinated with stupidity by imbeciles and morons making ridiculous claims in a court of law just like they were in the movies or something.

Now Roach says the letter seized in the raids was probably intended for use by someone who wanted to perform [keyword] 'jihad'.

But that's got to be another joke son! Ha, ha, ha.

Defence lawyer, for one of the 13 men facing [alleged] terrorism-related charges, Julian McMahon told the court Roche should not be painted as some kind of expert because he has difficulties with the truth.

And I might add is 'vulnerable' not just for his 'stupidity' but because he's a prisoner of the state being 'exploited', no doubt by the 'authorities' who should have better ethics including not taking the community for fools.

Jack Roach may have been found not guilty himself if he wasn't such an attention seeker. Imagine that this guy rang up asio to help them? Shame about the quick nine years he'll spend in solitary confinement and phillip ruddock wanted to appeal his sentence and give him another quick 16 years just for being so vulnerable.

And now they have him in jail the afp think that they can make a deal with the prisoner and use him to set other people up.

Shame john HoWARd shame on you!

Prosecution playing 'dirty tricks' in terrorism trial

The defence lawyers for Melbourne's 13 terrorism suspects have accused the prosecution of playing dirty tricks.

The prosecution today played a taped conversation between defendants Shoue Hammoud and Bassam Raad in which the prosecution alleges Raad suggests the authorities that put other members of their group in jail need to be slaughtered.

But in a heated volley of legal argument, defence lawyers said the reference to slaughter instead refereed to Raad's fears about what could happen to his friends in jail.

The defence lawyers said the prosecution was trying to drum up outrageous headlines to excite the media and to compound the fear being peddled in the Australian community.

The defence lawyers said the prosecution should just get on with the evidence.

Terrorism scapegoat was kidnapped, court hears

The Melbourne Magistrates Court has heard a man charged with [allegedly] directing a terrorist organisation was kidnapped last year.

The court was told Abdul Benbrika alleged in a conversation recorded by police that he was questioned and hit during an abduction which lasted about six hours.

The defendant did not indicate who was responsible for the alleged kidnapping.

Magistrate Paul Smith heard police initiated an internal investigation into the alleged kidnapping, but it was dropped after numerous efforts to contact Benbrika.

A dangerous precedent: Australian man convicted of “preparing terrorism”

Since 2001, the government has seized upon the “war” declared by US President George Bush for both domestic and international purposes. Under the guise of combating terrorism it has participated in the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, diverted attention from mounting economic and social problems at home and legitimised previously unthinkable police state-style measures, including semi-secret trials, “preventative” detention and the ability to impose life sentences without any evidence of an actual terrorist act.

Secret evidence used in Australian “terrorist” trial

Lodhi was bundled into the court building in shackles, in full view of the media. The display was intended to convey the impression that he is a violent and highly dangerous individual. Like several other Muslim men charged with terrorist offences in Australia over the past year, Lodhi has been denied bail and held in virtual solitary confinement in a “super max” prison, cut off from family and friends. Under state and federal “counter-terrorism” laws, the traditional presumption in favour of bail has been scrapped. It will only be granted in “exceptional circumstances”. On receiving a confidential affidavit from the Commonwealth, Magistrate Michael Price imposed a number of secrecy orders despite vigorous objections by lawyers for Lodhi and by media organisations. The orders mean that the affidavit itself will remain suppressed, and the media is barred from disclosing even the general nature of the material relied upon in it.

Houses raided over 'possible' political attack plans?

"Furthermore, nothing is reasonable about a raid on people's homes because for an alleged possibility. For those sorts of enquiries one should approach a 'soothsayer' and if you get the all clear only then should they approach people via the front door with the appropriate warrant to search one's home. A warrant based on concrete evidence that has been filtered by a juge or magistrate of the court to see whether the material is frivolous or vexatious."

Andrew Sullivan and the Tortued Truth

Mr. Habib said he was taken to a room with hooks on the wall and a barrel, set sideways like a roller, on the floor. His arms were stretched out, he said, and each wrist was handcuffed and fastened to a hook on the wall. By his description, the only way not to be left hanging was to stand on the barrel; an electric wire ran through it. Mr. Habib said he believed the interrogators in that room were Pakistani.

Mr. Habib said that when he refused to confess to being part of a 1995 terror plot, one man turned on the current. He lifted his feet to avoid the shock, he recalled, and he was suspended from the wall.

"I lost everything," he said.
