This is not the judge Silas Reid.

This is a generic clown sitting as a judge.

Rapidly developing case

Could be one of these pivotal moments changing the perception of the public.

Case has highlighted just how unjust the system is.

Someone needs to stand up and say sometimes you need to break laws because the law is wrong.

Experience of the justice system has made it even clearer to her what side the law is on.

I saw the corruption of it all, and I knew how wrong it was. That’s when I knew I had to tell the truth.

“I am partly ashamed of myself for not having more courage. I don’t have the courage to go to prison. I haven’t got the courage to commit a contempt of court.”

“utterly lost faith, respect and trust in the government”

Been there.

Done that.

I’m doing my part.

Counterculture safety valve.

“fat” and “ugly”

If you push too far, the reality will respond.

Moral authority to break bullshit law?

• compliance leads to Auschwitz

• non-compliance leads to Declaration of Independence and United States

While the jury deliberated, we gloomily discussed our grounds of appeal and the prospects of winning in Strasbourg. Then came the verdict. When the foreman said “not guilty” there was a gasp of amazement followed by spontaneous applause. It was an incredible result because it meant the jury had flatly ignored the judge’s direction. Plainly they thought Ponting had done the right thing.

FOI

Apparently, he went to jail as well 🤡

Birds of the feather flock together

First, it was Julian Assange, now another truth-teller, Craig Murray, is a political prisoner. All solidarity with Craig and his family and, remember, you have been warned – again.

A final note. With over 5,000 people having contributed to my defence fund, I do hope you will forgive the lack of personal replies to thank you. I am really quite overwhelmed and humbled by your kindness.

You should also know that, as it was never my intention to identify anyone, I have pending the outcome of my trial temporarily censored those sentences in my articles complained of by the prosecution as causing jigsaw identification, even though I strongly deny that they do. Prior to receiving the indictment, I had no idea precisely what the complaint referred to.  I have also censored the indictment of its references to the same material. I do not believe there was any problem with the originals; but it is a very few sentences and my lawyers rather insisted. I hope you will not feel I am too cowardly in this.

I have refused to censor those larger passages the Crown complain of where I state that the charges were a fit-up and a state sponsored conspiracy. I believe here there is a vital argument of freedom of speech, and I will not bend.

I definitely want to dig into the source and raw documents.

Arranging logistics of putting myself to jail

Plausible culpability. The opposite of:

Going to jail for providing false evidence against myself?

Today is the most heartbreaking day. My husband whose health has been found to not be suitable for prison must hand himself in for detention within hours following the UK Supreme Court’s decision not to hear his appeal.

We were extremely hopeful that the Supreme Court would hear his case and had no doubt that this particular case should have been heard given how important and relevant it is in the context of Freedom of Speech in the UK. Instead, the Supreme Court declined to hear it.

Archived version… Using Web Archive because maybe there is a way to uncover the articles that led him to jail.

But it is not that easy to get a trial.

And even if we accomplish / achieve / succeed with a criminal trial, who knows what another judge Silas clause may crop up?

Those who have right to prosecute can be strategic with their cases.

Loads of politics goes in here.

UPDATE:

“descends into a farce”

At this point of climate change collapse committing yourself to jail is an act of courage.

UPDATE:

Those who have right to prosecute can be strategic with their cases.

Can be strategic with timing:
