During the summer of 2006 in a dramatic move that can no longer be discussed here because of the pending group action, this group obtained the most damning of evidence never before seen by the defence.

Here now is a summary of what the prior research and the new evidence have revealed.

1. The evidence was tampered with or contaminated
2. The CLICK HERE CHILD PORN banner did not exist as it was alleged
3. Evidence of credit card fraud was deliberately concealed. Prejudicial evidence of this nature must be disclosed by law.
4. We can tell whose credit card was used for what and for most it seems for now it was for legal web sites.
5. Landslide was hacked.
6. Rogue webmasters bumped people to illegally named sites placing images on their hard drives.
7. Other rogue webmasters signed up people for multiple illegal sites.
8. The police and certain individuals in government ignored the obvious fraud and went ahead with the travesty.
9. Certain individuals and organizations gained much from Landslide/Ore.
10. There were high profile ‘protected persons’ whose credit card details were revealed but who were not proceeded against. These also could have been victims of fraud, but the authorities had declared that there was no evidence of fraud.
11. Senior police officers and others deceived the public, the media and Parliament.
12.The police wilfully incriminated and targeted innocent people, some of whom are now dead.

Who is now affected?

The new evidence suggests that there is now:
A. information that clears whole categories;
B. specific information that clears individuals - viz, sites their credit card were associated with;
C. evidence of major importance that simply discredits the whole of Operation Ore.

The possibilities.

1. That a huge enterprise with vast potential for empowering the police and certain related organizations, called Operation Ore, could be set in motion.
2. That government and certain media could be asked to support it, the latter mainly because it had mass appeal.
3. That the success of Ore and its accompanying fanfare could lead to the creation of a new much more powerful FBI-type organization in the UK, perhaps even with high profile Ore police at the top. Other organizations such as child exploitation prevention would also be possible.
4. That when and if news of defects in Ore began to emerge, certain media outlets could be depended upon not to support the individuals revealing them.
5. That the police-operated Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) could truly police and control citizens through control of the Internet and share this highly desired position with other Internet watchdogs around the world. The chairman of SOCA is Sir Stephen Lander, who is a director of Streamshield Networks Limited, sponsors of commercial partner the IWF and director of Northgate Information Solutions, supplier of false statistics to the Home Office.
6. That Landslide/Ore could lead to the banning of ‘extreme porn’ and eventually pornography itself. Not so much one must add in the interests of morality but in the vast increase such a move could give to police powers over citizens.

An extraordinary crime.

The Landslide crime is an extraordinary one by any standard. Here are some aspects that give rise to serious questions.

The team now has evidence of an enormous crime that ruined the lives of thousands of innocent families, put many men in prison and caused numerous suicides. They cannot report this to the police because attempts to do so in the UK have already been rejected. Specific complaints against named senior police officers have been accepted by the IPCC, but they are sitting on them. Other attempts to report the crime have resulted in police threats to team members. Certain individuals in government do not want the investigation to proceed. The investigators have now responded with the group action.

At the very point of announcing that we had the latest new evidence, an exposure web site was attacked and Google de-listed it and has since refused to re-list it, causing a drop in traffic and difficulties in attracting more group actionees. But the media responded and the UK nationals are now for the first time covering the story. Overseas media are now also responding as the story has global implications.

But police harassment against individual team members continues.

Oath of loyalty

Every policeman or woman takes an oath when they become a constable: "I do solemnly and sincerely declare and affirm that I will well and truly serve the Queen in the office of constable, with fairness, integrity, diligence and impartiality, upholding fundamental human rights and according equal respect to all people; and that I will, to the best of my power, cause the peace to be kept and preserved and prevent all offences against people and property; and discharge all the duties thereof faithfully according to law."

The wider implications

The wider implications of what has happened under Landslide and its spin-offs, such as Operation Ore, are enormous. First a huge government-supported crime has been committed. By government we mean mainly the governments of the US and UK, but other governments, such as those in Canada, Australia and Ireland followed with similar support for their national Landslide-based operations, although at greatly reduced levels from that of the UK.

As the paragraphs above demonstrate, a crime of this nature and at this level, involving police, individuals in government, organizations and certain media, is virtually impossible to investigate, let alone expose and bring to trial. Were it not for the Internet and the will of a number of individuals around the world, this investigation would never have reached the all-important stage of a class action being mounted. Note that it is the Internet itself that is the main target of the new police oriented states.

Even as the process of exposing the corruption of Landslide/Ore proceeds, the same forces and ideology that created the great travesty in the first instance are at work to bring in new repressive legislation to expand Internet surveillance beyond the ‘child pornography’ that it was first introduced to deal with, using claims that have been proven have been a complete fabrication.

When Landslide/Ore collapses as it surely will and the class action exposes how little child pornography actually existed to support the dawn raids that ruined families, will it be too late to stop the same forces from dawn raids on even more thousands of families in the pursuit of the next moral campaign against ‘extreme’ pornography, pornography itself or even criticisms of the police state?

One thing is sure. Over 7,000 were terrorised in one way or another in the ‘child porn’ driven Operation Ore – hundreds of thousands can be busted if SOCA gets its way with more general pornography. And make no mistake about it, these raids will also relate to ‘past offences’, that is the past viewing or possessing of images that were then legal but are no longer so.

We can only hope that as the campaign against Landslide/Ore and the class action succeed, the general public will finally see the dangers to us all, especially to sons, brothers and husbands, of empowering the police with the authority to make moral judgements. Look at the past. Remember what happened with homosexuality, with the Home Office attempts to suppress news about lesbianism in the 1920s, remember Prohibition, the 1960 Soho pornography scandals, the drug campaigns – all leading to police and prosecution corruption and to more crime. All suppressing individual freedom and leading to coercion, plea bargaining, blackmail and the prosecution and imprisonment of innocent individuals. And yet still the police are allowed to police themselves without any independent body to investigate them.

On Friday 15 September 2006, after a week of struggling to get the story out, despite a severe onslaught from the ‘powers that be’ who want to suppress the story, the media finally responded. David in Scotland stood up and spoke.

The Scotsman ran a full front page headline story on both the class action and the securing of the new Landslide/Ore evidence. Just before it hit the streets on Thursday night, Newsnight Scotland carried the report and showed the paper’s front page.

Later on Friday 15 September BBC Scotland did an interview with David, a Scottish Oree and group action member, on the 6.30 PM news, which was also relayed by Sky. It was a heart-rending but excellent interview as one man recounted how the UK police state destroyed his marriage and almost ruined his life. See and listen to David Here >
