QUAKING IN OUR BOOTS! ;)

Dear Readers,

I could not resist publishing the following comment I have just received. As you will see, it appears we have finally met our match. You will understand that we are very worried indeed.

The comment was made to my post A TRUE GENIUS, and is from someone calling themselves 'alleged journalist'.

Following the comment I have published my reply.

alleged journalist said...

FAO `Peter and Techowiz from the Alleged Journalist in oder to give you just a little update of what might be just over the horizon.
A major international media group has been following with great interest the developments of these 3 prosecutions and have now after some discussion have retained our group of very capable investigative reporters to compile some facts and not assumptions for an article they intend to publish later this year about "bloggers" and their legal responsibilities and this could be the perfect example. To quote but 3 items we are currently looking at.
1. Why did the BBC a World respected presenter of news and information Broadcast and network to 6 English speaking countries a Tomorrows World program clearly showing Gary Boltons device actually working but a while later screen a BBC news program presented by Caroline Hawley claiming the exact opposite.
2. Why are at least 7 World class scientists in 5 countries in disagreement with and in their words minor English academia. Please note not one of these is Prof Apsostol or any of his associates.
3. You mention in your blogs Jihad al-Jabery being convicted in relation to one of these devices. Let us, just to keep the records straight and not assume somethingas you both seem to do. Jabery was not convicted for purchasing devices from McCormick, jabery was convicted for purchasing counterfeit products, to quote a communiqué from the British Embassy in Bagdad "as we can see, the entire case (Jihad al-Jabery) is related to corrupt dealings, and it has nothing to do with the devices being ineffective etc etc etc..
We would assume that it is unlikely that this will be seen on your blog but I can assure you both that your insulting tones and misrepresentations will come to haunt you through the vehicle you have seen to use THE MEDIA.
ps a word of advice for Peter, I would check out sections 18 and 19 of the incitement to racial hatred

My reply:

Dear alleged journalist,

Thank you so much for your comments, and giving us the heads up as to what 'might' be over the horizon. We await whatever that with mighty interest. So far I can only report the facts. The facts are that we have been threatened many times, and none of those threats has come to fruition. Generally we consider that the reason for this is that we are right. Still, as good skeptics, we are always willing to be proved wrong. What you require is facts and evidence.

So, let's go through your comments line by line and see if we can discern any facts or evidence.

1. We look forward to the publication of the results of your investigations with great interest. Also to the revelation of which major international media group you mention is prepared to publish this.
2. The Tomorrows World programme you refer to was sadly a blot on the record of the BBC, later put right by the BBC Newsnight reports. The Tomorrows world report did not involve a properly controlled double blind test, of what was then known as the MOLE. Unless of course you have credible information to the contrary? What we do know is that Gary Bolton threatened BBC Newsnight with a potential slander/libel action via Carter Ruck Solicitors. The grounds for this threat were that the BBC should not suggest or imply that use of the GT200 had resulted directly in deaths or injuries. As I have pointed out before, it is most odd that if he had proof that the GT200 worked, he did not threaten on the grounds of the BBC stating that it did not work. Perhaps you can explain that anomaly?
3. You say that at least 7 World class scientists are in disagreement? I assume you mean that there are 7 World class scientists who support dowsing for explosives? Well, we cannot wait to see who these distinguished people are! Also to see the peer reviewed publication of their testing of the GT200 etc. If you are correct, and they can produce credible evidence to counter the overwhelming evidence to date that these devices cannot and do not work, we should expect a Nobel Prize in the not too distant future. Should we not?
4. When you refer to 'Jihad al-Jabery' I assume you mean Major general Jihad al Jabiri? Since you claim to be a journalist you might want to get your spelling right. As for your assertion that his conviction on charges of corruption was not related to the ADE651 not being operative, that is what we call splitting hairs. Let me remind you that there have been countless deaths, injuries and destruction in the green zone in Baghdad while the ADE651 was supposed to be the primary explosives 'detection' device at checkpoints. Once again, it seems to us that the onus is on you and the supporters of the garbage 'detectors' to present credible evidence that they do work. I am prepared to bet anything you like that you can not and never will be able to do so.
5. Your assurances that I will be haunted is a good one! I don't believe in ghosts anyway, and I certainly don't believe that there is any chance whatsoever that you or your colleagues will ever come up with any evidence that will contradict me or the others who have fought the despicable trade in fraudulent 'detector' devices.

As for your suggestion that I have in any way incited racial hatred, again supply your evidence as opposed to making stupid and un-supportable threats. The only hatred I have stirred up is against fraudsters and their corrupt clients, whatever their colour, race, sexuality or religion. Dream on! 

NEWSFLASH - 12 SEPTEMBER 2012

Those charged with various counts of fraud (see previous posts below) made another appearance at the City of London Magistrates Court today.

The trial or trials have been allocated to The Old Bailey, with a next bail date thought to be 18 October (To Be Confirmed).

We understand that the next appearance of the defendants will be at the Old Bailey for pleas (note that McCormick/ADE651, Sam and Joan Tree/ALPHA 6, Sherrard/ALPHA6, and Williamson/XK9 have all already plead Not Guilty, but that Bolton/GT200 has yet to plead).

We understand that trial dates will also be set at the next appearance.

As soon as we receive further news we will of course inform you as soon as possible!

With many thanks to our favourite Tom Petty fan!

TECHOWIZ BLOG 1 - McCormick ADE651 charged with fraud
TECHOWIZ BLOG 2 - Bolton GT200 and others charged with fraud

I CAN'T GET NO SATISFACTION

And I've tried and I've tried and I've tried and I've tried

Some people are telling me to be pleased that McCormick, Bolton, Sam Tree andJoan  Tree, Simon Sherrard and Anthony Williamson have been charged with fraud regarding various versions of the swivelling aerial detector fraud, so why am I not entirely satisfied?

Because I am greedy? Well, yes. In a way I am very greedy. I want everyone responsible for this fraud hung up for public gaze, like at Tyburn in the good old days.

Well, of course, even if they all get convicted, few of them will really hang. Maybe General Jabiri in Iraq?  But I want them at very least to hang in the COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION.

In my last piece you will see that I have named many people who should be hung for their involvement. But, I have reason to believe that there are people whose names we do not yet know, who might have been able to do a lot more a lot sooner to end the trade in fraudulent detectors that cost so many lives, limbs and suffering, as well as many corrupt and wasted dollars!

We know that between 1999 and 2004. Gary Bolton of Global Technical, who helped bring the MOLE to the UK (Quadro Tracker having been exposed in America), and then changed it to the GT200, was a member of the Defence Manufacturers Association. The DMA, now ADS, have refused to confirm the dates of the membership of ADS or DMA by Global Technical. Odd? Why?

We know that Gary Bolton was taken by the DMA to Parliament in 1999 to plead the case for export support for his new explosives detector product. We know that the DMA (now ADS) deny that they ever really knew what Bolton was selling, despite apparent miraculous claims for a radio aerial on a sort of pistol grip, and we believe Bolton demoing this at DMA events.

We know that The Royal Engineers assisted Gary Bolton in the promotion of the MOLE and subsequently the GT200 via carrying out demos at foreign events and possibly on UK soil, in uniform.

We know that Gary Bolton continued to use UK MOD and other official logos on his website, long after we had warned the UK Government in late 2008 via the defence Select Committee.

We know that all apparent active UK Government support for Gary Bolton and the GT200 ended in approximately 2004, or at least the records released by the MOD/Foreign Office/ DESO/Royal Engineers so far suggest this.

This raises the suspicion that someone or some people in the UK Defence/Government circles suddenly realised that the MOLE/GT200 was a crock of shite back in 2004 ish or possibly a bit later?

We know that the majority of sales of the GT200 took place after 2004. No doubt corrupt buyers in overseas markets e.g. Mexico and Thailand might claim that apparent UK Government and Military support for Bolton and Global Technical was instrumental in persuading them to buy. Obviously large bribes would not have helped to dissuade them! Ho Ho Ho!!

Anyway, what if one or more UK Government/MOD etc people did realise at some stage that the GT 200 was doo doo, before we warned the Defence Select Committee in late 2008 why didn't they say something?

Had they done so then maybe much grief may have been avoided!

But then this theory of mine may just be a load of old cobblers? What do you think?

What's worse. If you did not know already, McCormick who was charged over the ADE651 variant of the fraud used to work with Bolton on the MOLE/GT200.

They fell out and went off with the two major selling strands of the fraud. So, if Bolton had been stopped earlier, maybe, just maybe. McCormick might have as well.

Funny that Major General Alan Sharman (retd) and Brinley Salzmann (DMA now ADS Executive) who both were with Bolton at that 1999 Parliamentary hearing tried to lie about what was in fact on public record in Hansard? Odd?

You decide! But if there is anything to this theory of mine, you can be sure we will nail it down one way or the other!

All best!

MOPPING UP OPERATIONS

After taking a couple of days to enjoy the news that James McCormick - ADE651, Gary Bolton - GT200, Simon Sherrard - ALPHA6, Sam and Joan Tree - Imported the scam to the U.K. from the U.S. initially as MOLE, and Anthony Williamson - XK9(have all been charged with fraud in connection with various versions of the alleged swivelling aerial dowsing rod detector fraud, after nearly four years of campaigning by the Fake Explosives Detectors Campaign, we have a few comments as follow up.

This great news must not end there! First we must hope that the Courts in Britain throw the book at these alleged scum who sold death trap detectors around the World. We will continue to call for the strongest possible sentences if they are convicted..

We also want to see as much of their millions recovered as possible via the provisions for the seizure of assets and money that are the proceeds of crime.

However, we must and will be careful not to prejudice the trials of those charged. We will report on progress as reported officially, and on the Court cases when they occur. It is a fact that Techowiz in particular has been responsible for ensuring that these alleged guilty bastards are held accountable for their crimes.

We will also continue to call for the pursuit of and justice for others. Yes! Conmen and C****S like David Vollmar and Frank Trier of Unival in Germany with the amazing name changing non-detecting Sniffex, Sniffex Plus, HEDD1 (see below).

That leads us on to the other people we have told you about who have been involved in this fraud here and in other countries. We are hoping that news of these charges will have knock on effects.

1. The elimination of the use of these idiot devices everywhere in the World, especially Mexico and Thailand who have persisted in using them despite knowing full well they cannot and do not work.

2. The German authorities to pursue David Vollmar and Frank Trier of Unival regarding their sales of the equally ludicrous HEDD1. They have claimed it is different from the ADE651 and GT200 reference card detectors, but having issued us with various legal threats and promises of independent testing, we have still not heard of either coming to fruition. Draw your own conclusions!

Aldo that the UK police arrest and charge John Wyatt of SDS who promoted the HEDD1 with false claims in the UK.

3. The Romanian authorities to pursue Stelian Ilie and Mira Telecom in Romania, where James McCormick took some of his alleged Iraqi blood money, and who also sold the ADE651.

4. That as much publicity as possible is given to the involvement of General Pierre hadji Georgiou of Prosec in Lebanon. Responsible for helping McCormick sell the ADE651 to the Iraqis. We have little confidence that he would be pursued in the Lebanon, but we can surely make his name so dirty that he can't go anywhere else and do business, legitimate or not!

5. The Iraqis to re-open investigations and bring charges against General al Jabiri and others at the Interior Ministry who were responsible for the corrupt purchase of the ADE651 that resulted in so many deaths and injuries and destruction.

6. That the politicians and military personnel responsible for the alleged corrupt purchases elsewhere in the World, especially Thailand (remember the wonderful Doctor Porntip?), and Mexico, are shown to be the corrupt idiots they are and preferably charged with their crimes. We don't hold out much hope in those sorry countries, but you never know.

7. There is a network of local distributors, and agents that McCormick, Bolton and the others used. No doubt some of this will come out at trial. We have previously published the results of our research, investigations and others (special respect to BBC  Newsnight), giving a partial picture of this network in a spreadsheet. Naturally it would be great if some of them were also caught out too.

8. Bulgarian authorities to arrest and charge Yuri Markov. The 'inventor' of the Sniffex fraud in the United States, he fled to Bulgaria when the Sniffex fraud was exposed, and sold a license to David Vollmar to market Sniffex, subsequently re-maned twice and currently HEDD1.

9. The US authorities to arrest and charge Chuck Christensen of H3Tec for marketing his fraudulent long range locators and detectors. Also the people behind the DKL Lifeguard.

10. The Indian authorities to invetsigate and charge the Directors of Horizon group who marketed and sold the GT200.

11. The Greek authorities to investigate and charge the Diodebell AL-6D company Directors.

We also hope that Governments around the World will try to ensure that no other variants e.g. the GADE651, are in use or still on sale anywhere. We have suspicions that many may have been sold in Russia, China and elsewhere.

I may have missed someone. If it is you do let me know! I will be happy to correct the mistake.

As some of you know, the Fake Explosives Detectors Campaign started back in 2008 following the revelation by James Randi that a UK company was selling the ADE651, and that this fake detector bore remarkable likeness to previous scams in the U.S. such as Quadro Tracker and SNIFFEX.

I cannot tell you enough just how important our friend Techowiz has been in all of this. He has devoted endless hours and energy to the cause of seeing some justice in these cases. Nothing can bring back the dead or the missing limbs, or make up for the heartache caused by these vile criminals, but I know that Techowiz and I take some small satisfaction that we have come this far, against a good deal of resistance, and at times when we had very good cause to think that nothing would ever happen. And worse!

This is a tale of tenacity, and courage on the part of Techowiz, and an example to all that at least some dangerous bullshit can be cleaned up. There is more cleaning to do however! So anyone willing to spread the news about the charges (see last two blog pieces) feel free. The more get to know about it the better. But let's not get carried away and give the defences any room to play legal games of prejudice!

All best. Peter

GREAT NEWS! - TOAST AND DOMINOES

 Some of you who know me will be grateful that I will keep this post very short indeed. Probably a lot more to come though!!

Why toast and dominoes? 

First a toast to Techowiz, without whom this probably would never have happened!

Then a toast to others e.g. James Randi, Meirion Jones, Caroline Hawley, Lumpy Low, Andres Tonini, Bob Couttie etc etc who we have mentioned before.

But, we hope that Mr McCormick and his dirty blood money millions are also now toast.

We hope there is a domino effect and many others who have been involved in this disgusting fraud down the years will get their JUSTICE DESSERTS (apologies to Bruce Hood!)

Right, here's that Cliff Richard song (thanks Cliff. We're all going on a summer holiday!)

Hope you all like the sarcasm and satire, a Great British Tradition!! Perhaps a touch or irony.

Used to think that life was sweet.
Used to think we were complete.
I can't believe you'd throw it away.

Used to feel we had it made.
Used to feel we'd sail away.
Just Imagine how I feel today.
Well it seems a long time ago you were the lonely one.
Now it comes to letting go you are the only one.
Do you know what you've done.

It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore.
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep.
it's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

Well it really doesn't matter to me.
I guess you're leaving was meant to be.
It's down to you now you wanna be free.
Well I hope you know which way to go you're on your own again.
And don't come crying to me when you're the lonely one.
Remember what you've done.

It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.
It's so funny why we don't talk anymore
But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep.
It's so funny how we don't talk anymore.

But I ain't losing sleep and I ain't counting sheep.
It's so funny how we don't talk.

A DETECTOR THAT ACTUALLY WORKS

NEWSFLASH!

Breaking news (although it should not be because this detector has been around for a while now!).

JREF announces launch of the RANDI (Remote And Near Detection Indicator).

Compared with other detectors such as the ADE651, GT200, ALPHA 6, H3TEC, HEDD1, SNIFFEX etc, which claim they can detect almost anything, but actually work no better than random chance because they are a pile of poo, and the people who sell them are immoral bastards, the RANDI has an incredibly high identification/exposure rate.

The RANDI can detect almost any of the following foul substances, through application of grey matter alone:

Charlatans of many a hue and cry.
So called, self appointed psychics.
Purveyors of nonsense products.
Pedlars of pharmacological piffle.
Psychopath psychic surgeons.
Sellers of scam religions (all of them?)
Completely crappy conspiracy theories and theorists.
Mythical monsters and mammals.

ET Al (no, not Green! That's one of my random musical references).

All you have to do is point the RANDI at a dodgy looking target, and it locks on within moments usually. Sometimes you may have to be patient while it computes the methodology of the con, fraud or trickery, but rest assured, it very rarely fails.

If the target appears to be spewing out large and potentially dangerous spurts of bullshit, the RANDI automatically attempts to shut off the flow, using logic and rational bombs (completely un-detectable by the targets, especially those named above, which could not detect anything except the corruptible and gullible, Sadly we are unable to control the almost inexhasutible supply of these marks or consumers of the scams. They say there's one born every minute. I reckon it's more like one every second, but that does mean the market is still vast for the RANDI).

Regrettably the RANDI does not carry enough armament to stem the flow of BS from every quarter, but  it is highly reliable, and sticks to its tasks like a limpet mine (also un-detectable by those other devices!).

The RANDI is a proven performer in many theatres of operation e.g. John of God.

It has been tested in extreme environments where blizzards of BS can be present.

The RANDI has performed under fire from the various targets it is programmed to detect. Vast amounts of insult, innuendo, diversionary, ad hominem, strawmen, fake evidence, and other forms of non-argument ammunition has been aimed at the RANDI. It still looks remarkably good for its age.

While the original RANDI has been around a while now, we have failed to find a more reliable design.

If the target remains operational, the RANDI deploys its MDC Inter Galactic Ballistic Missile, which carries a deliverable payload of 1 Million Megaton Dollars. Otherwise known as the JREF Million Dollar Challenge. The MDC hangs above the heads of targets and repeatedly drops charges on the targets. Every time they refuse to give in, and accept the MDC is more powerful than they are, they look more and more battered and bruised.

We are working on a new version of the RANDI. The upgrade will include flashing lights, and a nuclear quadrupole resonance missile. This upgraded arms capability will enable even more kills of the targets.

So, the RANDI not only detects, but is programmed to destroy the sources of baloney and BS, wherever it tries to hide.

Some prime examples of where the RANDI has locked on and not let go:

Peter Popoff
Sylvia Browne
John Edward
Quadro Tracker and all the subsequent variant of the detector fraud as above.
Scientology
Homeopathy
Alien abductions (have you seen how many Americans claim they have been abducted! Maybe that explains a lot!! Ho Ho. Just kidding!)
Big Foot/Yeti/Sasquatch
9/11 'truthers' (yeah folks! Actually didn't you know that Muffin the Mule was behind that one you idiots!)

ETC ETC ETC

We appreciate that many of these Weapons of Mass Delusion (W.M.D.) have still not been destroyed, but many have been badly wounded, and restricted in operational range by the deployment of the RANDI.

We regret that some technologies enable some of the targets to repair themselves following deployment of the RANDI e.g. The Popoff With Your Money (PWYM). However, yet again we can promise that once deployed, the RANDI never gives up. It is the most tenacious technology we have yet seen.

So, to test the RANDI yourself, under double blind conditions, and at any reputable academic institution, please contact the JREF at

RANDI.ORG

(No you silly people, RANDI, not RANDY! It's not a naughty site!!, but it can be very offensive to fraudsters thankfully!)

THE AMAZING RANDI

Anyone who has followed the Fake Explosives Detectors Campaign (FEDC) will know that I was inspired by James Randi of the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF)

Back in 2008 Randi issued his Million Dollar Challenge (MDC) to the ADE651. It was the fact that the ADE651 was being sold by a British company that got my goat (Damn, I loved that goat! Not carnally I hasten to add! Just joking. Got my goat means it made me mightily angry),

Anyway, it was the Randi MDC that motivated me to start to investigate further, and subsequently to encounter my great friend and great man Techowiz. Anyone who wants to know more can go back to the beginning of this blog and follow the story, or see the book of the blog at the link below (the book is easier to follow because it starts at the very beginning).

Here we link to a recent interview with The Amazing Randi at the Magic Castle. The interviewer is the marvellous mentalist, Max Maven.

It's well worth listening to the whole interview because Randi is truly a great skeptic. Despite his advancing age and recent illness, he is a deep well of great stories and wisdom.

However, for those of you with not much time, fast forward to 40 minutes in when Randi discusses the MDC with Max, and explains a little of how it works. He also mentions the Quadro Tracker and the ADE651 (actually he calls it the ADE561 but I think we'll forgive him for getting two digits the wrong way around!).

Well, we are now over three years into the campaign, and of course, none of the main criminals involved in the trade in fancy dress dowsing rods have been charged with any crime. Since Randi has been publicising this scam since 1995, isn't it AMAZING that little or nothing has been done to end this disgusting fraud? If you agree, please spread the word.

N.B. Randi can be very generous to deluded people who believe in all sorts of BS, despite the fact that he endeavours to expose frauds, scams, psychics (e.g. Sylvia Browne and John Edward) etc etc. We just want to make it clear that none of the Fake Explosives Detectors have ever been put forward for the MDC despite numerous challenges from Randi down the years, and despite some of our 'favourite'  fraudsters saying they would or might take the challenge, or indeed get proper testing carried out. WHY NOT? Because of course they know they are selling a fraud!


THE AMAZING RANDI INTERVIEW

THE BOOK OF THIS BLOG

James Randi Educational Foundation    

THOMAS CRAPPER

Was an early pioneer of the flushing lavatory. A marvellous contribution to sanitation.

What is he talking about? Well, as usual there is some reason to my rhyme.

First, we here at the Fake Explosives Detectors Campaign have been working hard to get rid of a load of old shite, in the form or persons of James McCormick, Gary Bolton and all the other sewage involved in the swivelling aerial fraud.


But there is a second reason. There is a design flaw in the u - bend flushing bog. It can get all blocked up.

As you know, we have been hammering away at the Police for some time to get them stirred into action to wipe away the turds. They have been painfully slow in getting to the bottom of these frauds, despite all the information we have provided.

However, there is another blockage in the U-Bend. The Crown Prosecution Service (shouldn't they be prosecuting the Crown with a name like that? What about that naughty boy Andrew for example?).

So keen are they to avoid risk that they seem to only want to authorise charging and prosecution of the blatantly obvious frauds if they get a signed confession from the fraudsters.

Funny though. If the political wind is blowing they seem to be able to get a move on. Of course, we have many questions as to why the political wind has not been blowing in the direction of the swivelling fraudsters who have enabled so much death and destruction. And as you know, we have reason to suspect that this may be to cover the embarrassment of the UK Government for having supported and promoted the fraud, and then apparently covered this up and said nothing.

Anyway. To the point. And to the Police and CPS. GET A BLOODY MOVE ON! Or you can kiss your arses good bye! That blockage in your u-bends is beginning to stink. Like the stench of rotten corpses!

WELCOME TO 2012

Hello everyone!!

Lovely to be back after a great holiday!! Where? A secret!! Ho Ho!! Hope all our FRIENDS had a good holiday too!!

Anyway. Maybe some of you think not much happened last year?

Do you really?

Well.. You couldn't be more wrong! Yes. We got a bit frustrated at times, but then again, who would not after all our hard work to expose the fraud and the fraudsters. Yes, you lot of fake swivelling radio aerial detector criminals! Listen up!

Now, some of you may think that we have not made a lot of progress so far, but you would be very wrong! Look at the internet. The longer The Fake Explosives Detectors Campaign goes on, the less room for manoeuvre or further sales of this fraud, as the word spreads around the globe (you should see our blog statistics! Ho Ho!! Look at the many legal threats we have received, and the attempt to censor us just a few weeks ago. Nothing stops us!!

And we have learned much, and of some matters to come. But we'll keep you guessing for a day or two. Don't want to spoil any surprises now, do we!

Of course, 2011 saw the birth of Hoppy.

But more importantly it saw the tenacity and willpower of Techowiz!!

Also, much gratitude to the Tom Petty fan, our European correspondents, our Phillipines correspondents, our UK correspondents, our US correspondents, our Chinese correspondents, our Australian correspondents, our Thai correspondents, NOT FORGETTING our most esteemed Mexican correspondent, our Eastern European correspondents, and other supporters and advisors Worldwide. The network just grows! And the squeeze gets tighter day by day. Hope I did not forget anyone!!

We will continue to document this and bring you further news when we can!! SSSSSSHHHHHH!! Of course, keep an eye on Techos blog and other sources of information, great and small!!

TECHO WISDOM HERE AS ALWAYS!!!

And to the fraudsters, a miserable, stinking, scared and wretched New Year to you!!

Maxwell's Silver Hammer and Thor's mighty one will strike you down you filthy criminals and your associates...Blow by blow!!

MURDER INCORPORATED! JABIRI STYLE.

Did anyone else know this? It certainly took us a while to find out, despite our detecting skills (which are really quite good when compared to those of the wholly ineffective fake explosives detectors, and the 'finest police in the World' - Santa Claus says Ho Ho!!. Aided, we should add, by that top secret detection device known to those with top security clearance as Google).

What have we just discovered?

Remember Major General (another Major General. just like our own favourite Alan Sharman retired), Jihad al Jabiri, Head of the Iraqi Bomb Squad, who signed off orders for $85 million dollars of the fraud ADE651 detector, via General Pierre Hadji Georgiou of Prosec in Lebanon, and ultimately from that chief fraudster, James McCormick of ATSC. Remember, these fake detectors cost many hundreds if not thousands of lives in Bagdhad and elsewhere in Iraq, as well as untold suffering, and property damage.

Well, we were of course delighted when Major General al Jabiri was arrested earlier this year, following the last BBC Newsnight investigation. News was that Jabiri was arrested on charges of corruption. And that the Interior Ministry in Iraq was ordered to pay back $20 Million USD to the Iraqi Treasury as punishment for the corrupt ADE651 purchases.

A little bird told us that the US State Department had ordered the Iraqis to act because they had known for some time that the ADE651 and similar devices, were fakes, and were mad at the Iraqis for buying them, and putting US lives at risk.

By now we thought that Jabiri would be rotting in a tasteful Baghdad jail. Or strung up like he deserves! What a perfectly apt end for a man who claimed he knew more about bombs and explosives than anyone else in the World. A man who claimed that he did not care what Sandia Labs said. A man who said that using dogs (which can actually detect explosives) would turn Baghdad into a zoo!! The man who said that he did not care if the ADE651 worked by magic or science. He knew it worked! Well, of course he would say that wouldn't he!

He had the millions of dollars that he and his colleagues had shared in bribes to protect. Sadly it seems he did not have the protection of his own people at heart!

Well, yet again, we here at the Fake Explosives Detectors Campaign were mightily mad that the 'good' General Jabiri was quietly released from all charges back in May. HOW YOU ASK?

Well, it seems that in 2010 the Iraqi Parliament tried to repeal a law (136b), which explicitly allowed Ministers to unilaterally let off Iraqi public officials for corruption, regardless of the evidence. Apparently they failed to get rid of this licence for corruption, with one or two decent Iraqi politicians complaining bitterly that their efforts to stop corruption were being thwarted (when you check out the links below maybe you will understand why none of the top dogs in Iraq want effective anti-corruption measures in place!)

Well, back in May, the Interior Minister invoked 136b in the case of Jabiri and others involved in the ADE651 scandal. Why would he do that we wonder? To protect his own share of the corrupt loot? You might think so. We couldn't possibly comment! Ho Ho! Of course we can comment. The Iraqi Interior Ministry, and all the others, are riddled with corruption, right to the top!

Apparently, just when Jabiri was apparently being let off scot free, some members of the Parliament were again trying to repeal 136b.

We think Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should be told!

So, just another example of where almost everyone in this disgusting story seems to get away without any action by the authorities, whether here in the UK, Iraq, Germany, where Vollmar and Trier peddle their HEDD1 (formerly SNIFFEX), or in the US itself, where Chuck Christensen still merrily promotes his H3Tec fraud, or In Thailand and Mexico (and many other countries in the World that have corruptly purchased various versions of the same swivelling detectors fraud.

We continue to ask how the hell people who sold and bought this obvious killer fraud are not brought to justice?

We will not stop until they are! Understand that fraudsters and the corrupt. We do not go away until you have paid for the lives you have wasted. Whether innocent civilians, or brave soldiers and police who do the real job on the ground, and earn a pittance compared to you fat bloody cats/pigs!

P.S. Apologies. It seems that 136(b) was actually repealed in April, so we assume that Jabiri was let off just before that happened. If you have any information on this please feel free to let us know.

THE OFFERS - BOGOF

OR Buy One Get One Free.

Right. We thought that maybe Brinley Salzmann of ADS, Major General Alan Sharman (retd.) and others in the UK Defence establishment might like to say sorry for helping Gary Bolton sell his MOLE and GT200 Fake Detectors around the World, and thus contributing to the death and destruction and havoc that these scam devices cause wherever they are used.

We said we would not publish Brinleys useless defence of his useless position, and that of his ex-boss Sharman, if the ADS released the following statement:

'ADS, its employees and members, deeply regret the past association of the Defence Manufacturers Association (forerunner of ADS) and its past employees and members, with Gary Bolton of Global Technical Ltd, and his fraudulent detectors, the MOLE and the GT200.

ADS deeply regrets the past involvement of the British Government and the Royal Engineers in helping to promote these fraudulent detectors.

ADS condemns all varieties of the detector fraud, including the ADE651, sold by James McCormick of ATSC (ex-partner of Gary Bolton), and the HEDD1 (formerly SNIFFEX) marketed by Unival in Germany and their UK agent, Colonel John Wyatt, SDS,  as useless and dangerous.

ADS calls on the British Government to impose an immediate Worldwide ban on the export of these fraudulent devices, and to make further strenuous efforts to urge Mexico, Thailand and the rest of the World never to use these types of devices ever again.

ADS calls on the U.K. Police and Prosecution authorities to expedite charges against Gary Bolton, James McCormick and their associates for murderous fraud, as well as anyone here in the UK also involved e.g. John Wyatt.

ADS calls on the British Government to make every effort to recover as much of the blood money associated with this disgusting trade.

ADS deeply regrets British involvement in the promotion and export of these disgusting frauds, and the subsequent substantial loss of lives, limbs and liberty.

ADS now vets potential members far more thoroughly than when Gary Bolton and Global Technical managed to gain membership of the predecessor Defence Manufacturers Association.

ADS and Major General Alan Sharman (retd.) deeply regret all past associations with Gary Bolton.'

Did they? Of course they did not! Not big enough to admit their deadly mistakes!

So, you can of course now see the letter Brinley didn''t want you to see below (see post below ADS STANDS FOR?), along with our detailed analysis of what he was really saying, and was not saying. Especially his lie that Bolton never mentioned his dodgy device when he went to Parliament with his big wig Defence Manufacturers Association friends.

Now your bonus offer, to all the fraudsters direct. Very simple boys and girls! Either test properly, or confess! Why? Because we will never give up!! We have offered you these choices many times, but you all fiddle on while people get blown up. NICE!

FINDE ICH SCHON

Wenn der Hund bellt und ist bissig,
und ich bin verzagt,
Ganz einfach sofort wird mein Kummer vergeh'n
Ich denke an das was schön

Why the German? Back to Bonn again to meet our pals, David Vollmar and Frank Trier at Unival. The sellers of the HEDD1 (Hasn't Even Detected DooDoo Once!).

We have had a Financial Times Germany article translated, and it tells me some of my favourite things. Like what idiots Vollmar and Trier, and anyone who falls for the HEDD1 are. Like how they never produce legitimate evidence. Like the fact that they are really getting upset with us.

Translation from Financial Times Deutschland (FTD) article on Unival and the HEDD1.

Date of publication: March 19th 2010.

New bomb detector “Wünschel Dir was”.

A little black apparatus with a tuning antenna on top could make the body-scanner controversy in Germany come to an end: The HEDD1 is supposed to locate explosives from as far as 100 meters away, even through walls. If only there weren´t so many doubters. Serge Debrebant (author), Bonn, Nora Schlüter (assistance)

It is an unpleasant winter's day, cold and damp, and the underground car park in Bonn where I  find myself is not exactly welcoming. But I am accepting the circumstances because I am about to become witness of a security-technology revolution: The Unival company is demonstrating its bomb detector to me, a hand held device with the somewhat impersonal name "HEDD1". Upon closer inspection, the 276 gr machinery looks like a black bicycle grip with some sort of antenna attached to it, which in turn will rotate towards the direction where the bomb is.

If you believe the manufacturer, this device is more effective than any comparable bomb detectors on the market. As a genuine all-rounder, it may detect TNT, dynamite, liquid, plastic, and many other explosives from a distance of up to 100m. Even concrete walls are no obstacle. "There is no other technology that is able to discover explosives from such a distance” says David Vollmar. He is the founder and owner of Unival Group, a small, young company for security technology in Bonn. "The detection rate of HEDD1 is over 80 percent."


Unival coach (Head of Training) Frank Trier demonstrates the application of HEDD1

But you have to know that Vollmar does not refer to scientific tests, but rather to more than 100 presentations that were organized by Unival. If the 80 percent detection rate were really true, the HEDD1 could solve many security problems in one swoop. Self-made roadside bombs in Afghanistan? No problem. De-mining? Ditto. With HEDD1 the Detroit aeroplane bomber would never have slipped through the checks. If it was up to Vollmar, the world would not discuss the use of body scanners at airports, but the HEDD1.

Why does it not? Because many experts doubt that bomb detectors like HEDD1 are anything more but a self-deception of the user. In recent years, a whole group of models appearing very like dowsing/divining rods came on the market, to detect explosives through the antenna swinging. The best example is ATSC, a British company that has delivered a device called the ADE651 to Iraq. Among other things - the government in Baghdad bought more than 1,500 pieces at a price of up to 45,000 pounds.

In January, the company owner was arrested on suspicion of fraud. Inside the detector only simple RFID tags were found, as used, for example, in shops to prevent theft. According to scientists from the University of Cambridge it is impossible for these tags to discover anything at all. Nobody knows how many people lost their lives at checkpoints, because the security forces relied on the ADE651.

Unival do not want to be associated with such charlatanism. Now I want to convince myself of how the HEDD1 functions properly. For this reason I hide two small explosive charges in the underground car park: a rifle cartridge and a pack with New Year's Eve firecrackers. Vollmar and Frank Trier, who is responsible for customer training at Unival, wait outside. They are convinced of the potential of their product: "In the next one to two years, we will have sold up to 3,000 units," says Vollmar. The cost of around 8000 € for an apparatus is almost a bargain: A body scanner is at least $ 150,000.

The predecessor of HEDD1 was sold some 2000 times to 40 countries around the world, including to the Turkish army, the Iraq interior and defence ministries and the Italian border patrol - but also to the German Wisag, a service provider with approximately 20,000 employees. For a discussion of the detector there was no one available (at WISAG) on request.

Behind the invention of HEDD1 is a tinkerer named Yuri Markov, a Bulgarian. For more than 15 years, the former telecommunications engineer has worked on the development of the system that was first marketed in the U.S. under the name "Sniffex" - and that the German company Unival now exclusively distributes as HEDD1. Markov will not reveal what technology exactly is behind it,  For example, he does not say what is inside that metal container that is at the heart of the detector. Trade secret.

What he reveals is: The HEDD1 creates a "modulated magnetic field" if the magnets above and below the metal container set the substance in vibration. Additionally, a magnetic field is created around the explosive substance. In the event of magnetic fields overlapping, the antenna turns towards the direction of the bomb. The human body thereby acts as some sort of amplifier.

One of Markov's harshest critics is the professional skeptic James Randi, a former magician and escape artist, who has made it his mission to expose charlatans and pseudo-scientists. Sniffex he calls "a fake, a fraud, a hoax." Unconscious self-deception of the user, are responsible for the movements of the device is a similar way to a seance glass moving. The U.S. Navy has proved him right.  They tested the Sniffex after the bombings in London, the report appeared in 2008 on the research portal ProPublica. In one test scenario, two trucks laden with 500 kilos of explosives directly drove past the Sniffex. Reaction? None. The result of the investigation: "The Sniffex hand held detector is not able to detect explosives."

For Vollmar, however, the test does not speak against Sniffex but rather against the Navy "The previous (Sniffex) devices were difficult to handle. The Navy has operated the equipment incorrectly. Under these conditions, the test does not succeed." In one photograph, published with the report, a man holds a bomb detector in front of him like a revolver. Completely wrong, to do it that way. How to do it right? Trier shows me during the search of the car park: Pull out the antenna, smoothly and direct it downwards. Then he presses the device against the side of the chest and positions it forward. Like this, Trier walks in circles several times, to explore the terrain.

What does the scientific community say about this? "I'm not an expert on magic wands or April Fools', grumbles a researcher who does not want to be named, but who himself has once worked on developing a bomb detector. Even for Franz Fujara, professor of Physics at the TU (Technical University) Darmstadt the whole thing appears "a bit obscure". "Scientific terms are indeed being used, but together they make no sense," says the physicist. The patent application of HEDD1 was "either very foolish or an insolence." The other four scientists with whom I speak are also more than skeptical. "We do not believe that one can detect such small magnetic fields at such distances," emailed me Hannes Toepfer, a professor of physics at the TU (Technical University) of Ilmenau. But Mr. Trier and Mr. Vollmar have now got the opportunity to convince me of the opposite.

The antenna reacts for the first time and points very clearly towards a Mercedes. "Before we now crawl on the floor – will you not want to clarify this," asks Vollmar. But they can crawl endlessly: There is nothing hidden (in the Mercedes). Unless the driver maybe has firecrackers in the trunk. Now Vollmar also grabs himself a HEDD1 and joins the search. This time, the antenna points at a car that is covered with a blue tarp. It's a bit like Hit the Pot (children´s game): warm but not hot. The package with the firecrackers is under the car next to it. The next indication again is a blank. Vollmar picks up a traffic cone and looks behind a fire extinguisher. Nothing.

Perhaps it is smarter to rely on conventional detectors instead of modulated magnetic fields, even if they do not guarantee complete security. At airports, for example, metal detectors and X-ray machines are being used. So-called egis devices analyze traces of compound gases that are often used with explosives. All these techniques have drawbacks, however: they are too slow, too prone to error, difficult to operate or they can only detect specific explosives. That is why intensive research on new technologies is done.

In the parking garage Vollmar is screwing up his last chance. Although the antenna is pointing in the right direction - the last remaining corner of the parking garage - but when Trier walks down the line of cars, the antenna, again, does not point at the right car. "That surprises me," mutters Trier. Vollmar explains: "We do not exactly know where to find the material we can only roughly tell and if you find something, you have to lock down the premises and call the bomb squad..."

So far, hardly any Western agency acquired a HEDD1 or its predecessor. But Vollmar hopes that this will soon change. A German security agency is supposedly considering a purchase. Which one it is, he does not want to reveal. The press offices of BKA (Federal Criminal Department) and BND (Federal Intelligence Agency) refuse to comment, and the Federal Office for Defense Technology procurement denies any interest.

Vollmar and Markov intend to further invest into the technology in the coming years. A prototype for antibiotics has already been developed, says Markov. Detectors for chemical, biological and nuclear warfare agents are being planned. A silver bullet that is. Only the U.S. Department of Justice again makes everything look bad. Ten years ago it issued a warning: "Be wary of devices that use a pivoting rod, which is held almost horizontally, and which points at the sought material."

No scientific test has ever confirmed the functioning of such devices. The description perfectly fits the HEDD1 – even though, at the time, it did not exist.

TAKEN THE LIBERTY

Wish we had taken the liberty of the fraudsters. Can't be too much longer now can it Techo? Not after we told the plodders everything they ever needed to know long ago?

No, taken the liberty to publish this blog in pdf form at the following location. It starts at the first post so if you don't know much about the story it is easier than reading backwards here on the blog itself, and is in an easier format to read, although some of the colour identifying text is missing.

Please feel free to spread the link around. I am happy to send out pdf copies by email if requested. Just making sure it can't be shut down or shut up!! Paranoid. Moi? Jamais!! Just having fun spreading the manure on the muderous fraudsters heads as much as we can!! Ho Ho. Happy Xmas!!

'With absolutely no sense of irony, Major General Alan Sharman, the head of the Defence Manufacturers' Association, said: "This was a complete bombshell. I am amazed."
25 July – Arms Trade'

'Talking of jobs that we’d be better off without, the government announced the decision to close the Defence Export Services Organisation (DESO), a department employing over 400 people and headed by an arms trade businessman.  The decision proved very popular with campaigners against the arms trade who think that DESO promotes the sale of military equipment by British companies to repressive regimes and approves corrupt payments to foreign politicians and officials to secure these sales.  They also believe that DESO was too close to central government to allow independent decision-making.  Unsurprisingly the great whites and hammerheads of the arms industry were up in, well, um, arms.  They launched an undoubtedly well-funded lobbying campaign to oppose the closure.  With absolutely no sense of irony, Major General Alan Sharman, the head of the Defence Manufacturers' Association, said: "This was a complete bombshell. I am amazed."  You plonker, Rodney!  Derek Marshall, of the Society of British Aerospace Companies, said that DESO had helped to make British arms companies second in the world's arms trade. He said he was worried that the government was now downgrading the promotion of arms sales and that without a dedicated department, Britain would lose contracts to foreign competitors.  So that’s a bad thing is it, Mr Marshall?  To help in the fight against the pin-striped dealers in death, you can support the Campaign Against The Arms Trade.'

'MAJOR-GENERAL ALAN SHARMAN, director general of the Defence Manufacturers' Association, expresses his dismay at the effect of Pinochet's arrest - while here as a guest of the Ministry of Defence - on arms deals to Chile. Merely 'following orders', no doubt, a consideration of human rights does not appear to be among his duties:
Pinochet was accompanied by a full military mission who were accompanied by a DESO [Defence Export Services Organisation] officer. The Chileans came at the invitation of the Ministry of Defence. Staff within DESO are deeply concerned at what they see as the British Government's breach of faith... [The arrest of General Pinochet] was extraordinary and inconceivable... Business with Chile is on hold. There was potential for significant orders and that effort has been damaged... One company had completed delivery of 100 units of a weapon and was due to act on an option for a further 400. Within hours of the arrest, Chile's agent had contacted the company and said they could forget it.'

THE LAST POST?

A piper plays the Last Post. In memory of those who served, and in honour of those who serve now!

We here at the Fake Explosives Detectors Campaign wish this was our last post! But somehow we feel this is unlikely!

I have used the Last Post title deliberately. If you do not know, The Last Post can be either a bugle call within British Infantry regiments or a cavalry trumpet call in British Cavalry and Royal Regiment of Artillery (Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Artillery) used at Commonwealth military funerals and ceremonies commemorating those who have been killed in war. And we certainly do commemorate and celebrate our heroes.

On the other hand, we denigrate and demolish the villains involved in the fake detectors scam trade.

Now, why should this be our last post?

Because Techo and I have summarised our key reasons why every one of these swivelling aerial cons are indeed that i.e. pure, knowing, deliberate frauds on the part of the sellers, and either corruption or stupidity on the part of the buyers.

This should be the end of the matter because the fraudsters have no rational answers to these points at all. 

1. The 'IF IT WAS REAL' clincher.

DECONSTRUCTING HEDD1

Got bored of the pictures of David Vollmar and Frank Trier, so thought you ought to take a look at the HEDD1 (Formerly SNIFFEX, AND SNIFFEX PLUS). Do I hear sniffing? Laughing? 

Sadly, like Frank Trier, this one does not have its' radio aerial extended and at right angles to the very nicely designed hand grip.

Now, Vollmar and Trier at Unival claim it works by MED - Magneto-Electrostatic-Detection. More like MAD - Mutually Assured Destruction! Different they say from the reference card versions of the same fraud, like the ADE651 and the GT200.

GRIMM TALES OF VOLLMAR

David 'Volldermort' Vollmar. Managing Director, Unival GmbH, Germany,. Purveyor of the HEDD1 (formerly known as SNIFFEX - see SNIFFEX SEC Fraud Case) a.k.a. The Hasn't Even Detected Doo Doo Once. The man who knows the HEDD1 doesn't work because we have been telling him for years, and like all the rest of the swivelling aerial fraudsters, pretends he has evidence he can't let anyone see, will then won't take independent testing, issues meaningless legal threats, and generally behaves like the slime ball he really is.

Frank 'Toy Soldier Rambo' Trier. Unival. David Vollmars pet toy soldier. A man who knows that the HEDD1 doesn't work because he uses it so much! Been back to Thailand recently Frankie?

And let's not forget Col. John Wyatt 'Twerp', SDS UK Limited, and Worldwide authority on Bovine Scatology a.k.a. U.K. Representative for Unival and HEDD1. Was still trying to sell HEDD1 as late as summer 2010, here in the U.K. Ever heard of the Internet Johnny boy? Same question to the brothers in blue (Colin 'Elwood' Port, and the various Jakes at CofL)?
