Adelaide Magistrates’ Court, especially when a witness, asked to identify the<br />

accused, pointed to a man in the public gallery. Unfortunately the man<br />

identified himself as an American tourist! The witnesses, upon their return<br />

to the Ukraine, soon began to build themselves lovely two-storey homes.<br />

The Adelaide War Crimes Trials’ failure still rankles those who would like<br />

to entangle the Australian judicial system in war crimes precedent cases. To<br />

date Australia has resisted this push but its legal system has been perverted<br />

through the Human Rights Commission’s actions against Mrs Olga Scully<br />

and me. I can only say with some pride that I valiantly resisted the legal<br />

push against their attempt to silence me, I did last just on 13 years of this<br />

legal persecution and resisted the nonsense coming my way. However, I<br />

had to face the music and concede defeat on 13 August 2009, after an<br />

exhausting day in Adelaide’s Federal Court of Australia. It was not at the<br />

hands of the Jews who brought the action into court, but the judges who<br />

bent to Jewish pressure.<br />

Such cases are not exactly new. Centuries ago, it was the same for Galileo<br />

Galilei. It was not the Catholic Church that prosecuted him, but the civil<br />

authorities; as was the case with Giordano Bruno, and the most notable of<br />

all, Jesus Christ, whom the Pharisees handed over to the Roman civil<br />

administration – and then both washed their hands of the matter claiming<br />

they were only following what the law required of them.<br />

Legal counsel for Jeremy Jones specifically informed Justice Bruce Lander<br />

when the trial began on 5 August 2008 that it would not make any<br />

submissions as to penalty but leave it up to the court. I can still hear<br />

Lander’s words ringing in my ears: ‘You will get justice in this court!’.<br />

When on 13 August 2009 the Appeal Court’s presiding judge, Spender (a<br />

larger and more bulldog-like version of Lander), executed the arrest warrant<br />

at 5 p.m. two Federal Police were waiting for me. I was pleased to see them<br />

dressed in civilian suits. This was unlike the dramatic scene that Lander had<br />

hoped for when my barrister, David Perkins, had thrown a spanner in the<br />

works of Lander’s histrionics. Visibly shaking, Lander was furious for<br />

Perkins had stolen his thunder by announcing that we were going to appeal<br />

both the sentence and penalty. Lander remarked that Perkins’ reasons for<br />

an appeal to be ‘a late invention’.<br />
