Fighting Fake News with REAL, 28/5/23, Lehrmann Trial Inquiry, Modi Media Rush stories, Hillsong to be Docuseries released,

 

May be an image of 1 person and text that says '18974 18974 QucT CHRRE 2 POLA DS Scott Moller told the inquiry into the Bruce Lehrmann trial that he felt the Director of Public Prosecutions was deliberately collecting evidence against the police. Photo: Screenshot.'

When the Head of the investigation claims his team all suffered PTSD and due to the pressure put on them were medically incapable of doing their jobs. Yes, a whole “team” and even today some can’t return to work. Now does that sound feasible or a prepared statement? They were so distraught they gave all the prosecution evidence collected to the defense by mistake!!

Note not a word from DS Moller about the pressure put on Brittany Higgins by his team’s open disbelief in anything she had said happened. Here is an example case of Brittany Higgins being judged and blamed, making the police seem the victims of rape.


The DPP of the ACT, Shane Drumgold, was cross-examined for a week over his handling of Lehrmann’s prosecution. Drumgold expressed concerns with the conduct of police before and after the aborted trial, and even levelled explosive allegations that he thought the case may have been subject to improper political influence. He later walked this back, and instead claimed his concerns with the police were most likely due to “a skills deficit”.

 So  it's not the police who decided to prosecute or not it's the DPP  and Drumgold made it clear Moller's "team" were either got at or were simply dumbfucks. If the latter why has Moller so much salad on his shirt?

 The question of who decides whether or not to prosecute is fundamental to our community and democracy. At the moment, our system has not really resolved the question of how much politics we want in prosecutions, if we want any at all.

In an email to DS Moller in September 2021, Mr Drumgold voiced his concerns that the brief would “become relevant to a fact in issue, as well as credibility issues”. He asked him several questions about the creation of the brief and the circumstances of its delivery. He also requested statements from the police to support this.

DS Moller told the inquiry today that these statements were prepared but, to his knowledge, were never used. When asked why he believed they were requested, he said: “I felt like … the DPP was attempting to collect evidence against the police for use at a later time … to show criticism towards the police.

Modi has a history of bloodshed that nobody should be proud of

As a start, let’s look at two recent incidents, one in India and the other in the United States.

Too many upper-caste Indians and white Americans think of themselves as the only ones worthy of enjoying the spoils of the Earth. They want it all and are ready to get it by exploiting, not to say violating, non-upper-caste bodies in India and non-white ones in the U.S., along with cows and fetuses, using religion as a tool in both cases. The bodies of Dalits, Muslims, Christians, the people of occupied Kashmir, liberals, journalists, historians, climate and human rights activists, educators, Blacks, Indigenous people, women, LGBTQ people—all of them are fodder for the violent right-wing in both countries.

Yes a bit more Bollywood the media gave Modi than the  reality

With all the fanfare, the stadium event was not all it seemed. One beady-eyed journalist noted that a venue with a seating capacity of 18,500 seemed less than packed. Vivek Astri, covering the visit for The Wire, noted “empty chairs scattered throughout the expansive venue.” It struck him as rather odd, given the fact the tickets had been gratis, with registration noisily promoted through such platforms as WhatsApp months before. “Curiously, there seemed to be a veil of secrecy surrounding the ticket distribution process, lending an air of privacy to the entire event.”

The four-part feature takes a closer look at Carl Lentz’s firing and the church’s history of financial abuse

“Whatever happens with Hillsong, whatever happens with Brian Houston, they have provided a template for churches all around the world, to charismatic Christians to exploit and to convert their personal careers and art into financial acquisition,” said journalist Lech Blaine. “That doesn’t end with Brian Houston.”

 

The documentary noted that at its peak, Hillsong boasted locations across 30 countries around the world and over 150,000 congregants. As of March 2023, only six out of 16 Hillsong U.S. locations remain.

 

The verdict for Houston’s court trial for the alleged concealment of child sex abuse is expected in June 2023. Additional charges are also expected in regard to Hillsong’s alleged financial malfeasance.
