Guy Pilgrim asks some of the questions that have been ignored, evaded and played down so as to make sure Schapelle Corby was viewed by the general public as guilty.

(CONT) would then leave those who could never believe Schapelle was guilty to then campaign and undo all the work that the Government had done? The danger was that the Australian people would accuse Indonesia and escalate hostilities as they had done in 2005. Everyone had to believe that Schapelle was guilty; those who couldn't had to believe an Australian was guilty. We are a democracy; you are allowed to call them corrupt and nobody cares. Indonesia is not so forgiving.

(CONT) But these people who turned had been upset over how unfairly Schapelle was being treated in Indonesia and how corrupt their legal system was that a judge would say on 60 minutes that he had never acquitted a case in the last 500. Is it reasonable to believe that our government who had performed this masterful feat of turning hatred for Indonesia into hatred of an Australian thereby making the Indonesians the victim of 'Schapelle's crime'... (CONT)

@o1ooo1o As far as propaganda went what the Australian government did in this case was breathtaking and I finally understood how Hitler could take a nation of law abiding citizens and turn them into brutal zealots whose own sense of superiority could make the holocaust acceptable. The Australian Government turned 91% certainty of Schapelle's innocence to at least 70% belief in her guilt in less than 6 months without introducing a single new fact. It was masterful. (CONT)

@DJWOLFEN01 Apart from the fact the Indonesians refused to take evidence, the manner in which the stuff was packed ....alone stinks of a set up, by them.

The new film "Expendable" mentions this, but still focuses mostly on AFP corruption, and drugs at Australian airports. It'll probably lead most who watch it, to believe the stuff came from Australia.

But, either way ...the final conclusion is the same . That being that Schapelle is 100% innocent.

[o1ooo1o]

@DJWOLFEN01 So, we're back to the Indonesians having planted the stuff.

And the main facts, which I believe point to them, is the extremely haphazard way the stuff was packed.

Inner plastic bag slashed, outer one not even closed up properly, not vacuum compressed, and then stuffed into a bodyboard bag ....along with, and on top of the board and flippers as well ...with the owners name and address tagged on it.

There is next to NO chance, ANYONE would smuggle drugs in this manner.

[o1ooo1o]

@DJWOLFEN01 So, to be clear ...I don't actually believe any of that scenario myself.

I just wanted to make sure, I had thoroughly explored that idea, before finally putting it to rest.

As for the Corbys being international drug runners ....NONE of that tripe ever stood up to ANY logic at all, and fails spectacularly ...when subjected to the facts.

[o1ooo1o]

@DJWOLFEN01 That scenario, was my best attempt to put together an alternate theory, and I wanted to see how well, it would stand up to your arguments.

I was pretty sure it would fail. It relies upon the idea, that marijuana was being moved around within Australia, by baggage handlers at major Australian airports ...and the AFP were also paid, to keep it under wraps.

The weight / profit ratio for weed, is one of the main things, that debunks this idea.

Occam's razor, I guess.

[o1ooo1o]

@DJWOLFEN01 For the record, I still believe it was the Bali police who planted it, at their end.

The scenario I have put forward, was just a hypothetical ...and I agree it has many 'ifs' and 'maybes' ...but I just wanted to see, if there could possibly be a viable alternate theory, that also accords with the known facts ...that supports an Australian origin, for the marijuana.

[DJWOLFEN01]

@o1ooo1o no, it's your supposition based on an assumption that defies fact to begin with. If "the AFP had to prevent their criminality... from being exposed" as you maintain then they are hardly going to put their hand up by informing the Bali Police of "the package", are they? The parking fine-like sentences for grass offences in Aust means that any criminal gang would assign an underling to take the fall for a grass offence in Aus rather than create an international spotlight.

[o1ooo1o]

@DJWOLFEN01 I'm not quite sure what you mean by this.

Are you saying ...it's more logical, that if the AFP knew about a package of marijuana on it's way to Bali, that they'd be happier ...to just do nothing, ...and let the spotlight be focused on Australian airports...?

...or with any luck, whoever gets caught with it, ...may only just get a light sentence and a small fine? (50% chance)

...or with more luck, it'll just go through undetected?

Would they be that complacent...?
