SHALL I GO ON? There's lots more I promise you!

 OR DO YOU SEE HOW BIG THIS STORY IS AND HOW LITTLE HAS BEEN DONE!

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.

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

And many others who have diligently spread the word on this disgusting killer fraud.

Estimates: Over $250 Million Dollars worth sold worldwide
                  Many hundreds if not thousands of lives lost
                  Many hundreds if not thousands injured
                  Millions in bribery and corruption in the selling and buying

ANYONE TALKING ANYMORE? 
                  

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.

I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A MODERN MAJOR-GENERAL (retd!)

We at the Fake Explosives Detectors Campaign are always honoured to be contacted by people of stature and standing, and today we bring you a letter from Major-General Alan Sharman (retd.), in response to our email to him (see post below).

Now, as we know, Major-General Alan Sharman (retd.) had a very distinguished career. First with the British Army in the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, then as Director General Land Systems UK Ministry of Defence Government Agency, then as Director General Defence Manufacturers Association, and latterly as a Director of at least four companies, all apparently with defence industry interests (we may have missed something out. No doubt he will correct us if so).

As always, we at the Fake Explosives Detectors Campaign like to try to ensure that there is no room for misunderstanding or error, by omission or diversion. hence we have, as is our tedious way, analysed and commented on the letter Major-General Alan Sharman (retd.) 

It would be good if he would respond to our substantive points and questions, particularly as we have some new information that might be quite embarrassing to him and his old DMA colleagues, if he does not do so. 

His text in black, ours in red:

Dear Mr Robinson

I understand that you have made an enquiry via the MIRA Ltd website about Mr Gary Bolton. 

I was quite unaware of your campaign or of your interest in Gary Bolton until receipt of your enquiry. (Had you heard anything about the Fake Explosives Detectors scandal before our email? Perhaps via Newsnight? Or in your defence industry circles? If so, did you recall Gary Bolton, Global Technical, your visit to Parliament with him, or anything at all about your or the DMA involvement with him?) Further I have had no involvement with Mr Bolton since the occasion when he accompanied me, in 1999, as part of a team giving evidence to the Parliamentary Trade and Industry Committee.  The team consisted of myself and representatives of a large, medium and small company (Bolton was from the small one) and the subject of the Committee's investigation related solely to the matter of Export Credit Guarantees.  The meeting had nothing to do with company products or their technology. (Who was responsible for selecting Gary Bolton of Global Technical to attend the meeting of the PTIC from amongst the DMA membership, from which there was presumably many possible such small companies to choose from? When you say the meeting had nothing to do with company products or their technology, do you mean it was to discuss the issue of ECGs in reference to air? Or, perhaps in splendid isolation from the products themselves? Do you mean that no products or technologies were mentioned at the meeting?)

I had no knowledge then nor since as to the technical nature of Bolton's device, nor would any other member of my 25 staff in the DMA.  (You only have to Google!) Obviously, as a Trade Association with hundreds of members large and small, the staff could not possibly know about the technical provenance or otherwise of the thousands of products produced by our members. (Not one of the DMA staff or other members once encountered or were told about the miraculous MOLE or GT200 during his membership? Or if they did see it or hear about it, didn't ask even the smallest of questions? If I was an ex-military man, say REME, who must be interested in working in safe environments cleared of explosive devices, I think my ears would prick up at a new, previously unknown detector available on the market, from a respectable UK firm!?) We, of course, always tried to verify the business integrity of our members but this could not possibly extend to testing and verifying their products.(Maybe a bit more self regulation would have been good - damn, of course, self-regulation never works! Wonder if ADS checks out its members more carefully now as a result of learning the Global Technical GT200 lesson? Do you think they should?)

I retired from the DMA in 2007. (Yes, Retirement always excuses past failures doesn't it!) I note from your own web site the comment that thanks to your campaign the record that Global Technical were members of the DMA and APPSS etc. was pulled down in about 2007. (Later than that we recall, but hey, let's not split hairs! We can always check! And again, does that excuse the fact that they were allowed to continue for so long trading on your so called good names despite the fact that it was public knowledge on the internet many years before that these devices are a fraud! And do you know Col, John Wyatt (retd. ) of SDS? Have a word with him about the history of SNIFFEX and the HEDD1 frauds! He should know. He tried selling them here to your and his ex-Army colleagues as late as last year!) In fact the DMA and APPSS were disbanded late in that year and merged with the SBAC to become A|D|S. (So what? And we all know that re-naming and re-branding often has a purpose!) I am not aware of whether Global Technical were or are still members of A|D|S.(Too late. They wormed their way in with members of the defence establishment, no doubt in no small way thanks due to your handholding!)

Finally, retired as I now am, my influence on defence and security affairs is very limited (We do not believe this. You are still an active Director of at least four companies we know of in the Defence Industry, and we are sure your contacts book is still chock full of the great and the good, so we expect that you are at least a tad embarrassed by your former association with a filthy little fraudster like Gary Bolton, and like us will call publicly and via your contacts for proper action. To include, Bolton, McCormick, and their associates to go down. Their blood money recovered. And the Government to finally impose a full Worldwide export ban and make a bigger fuss to stop the continued use of these things in places like Mexico and Thailand. And for the UK Government Officials who supported this fraud to be brought to book. We think that is a fair list of demands for all the blown up people you and your friends have helped create, wittingly or not!) but I am confident that if those currently in the Army and the MoD believe the Bolton product is a fraud then they will be taking appropriate action with regard to exports and domestic purchases. (They are not, hence our kind requests for your assistance, as a man of honour, who will no doubt acknowledge his mistakes, and help correct them, even if they were unintentional!) If, as you suggest, the products are completely ineffective (to the point of being fraudulent) WE ARE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO SUGGEST THIS AND IT IS NOT 'IF'. COME ON MAJ. GEN! then I am amazed that the Army bought them; they normally test everything to the extreme. (We do not know if the Army bought any, but it would be very interesting if they did. What we do know is that they helped promote them, and apparently the Royal Engineers tested the MOLE and said it worked - who knows how? See Sandia Labs/MOLE/McCormick/Balais/Bolton) If you are still so vague about this do please see the Newsnight reports! You can find the links on the blogs. Or Google!)

Yours faithfully

Alan Sharman

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)?

DID I MENTION?

Just a short one folks, unlike this horrendous tale!

Honest!

In the list of the achievements of Techowiz and the campaign, did I mention that we were the first to break the news of this scandal in this country back in 2008.

This despite at least some in authority knowing about it for some time before i.e. as early as 1999, and possibly sooner.

And what have others achieved? Do tell!!

SOME FURTHER QUESTIONS

PUZZLED? ME TOO!

BUT, sometimes new clues emerge and the story goes off in different directions. Meanwhile, speculation is rife. Now, I normally eschew too much speculation without the facts. You know, Sun type 'journalism'. But by now, you know me as nothing if not a straight talker.

BOLTIN' BOLTON - And other merrye olde tales of merrye death

THERE'S BLOOD ON SOME HANDS! AND BLOOD MONEY TOO!

Just a very brief entry, and for those familiar with the geography of Great (not bloody always!) Britain, this is not about Bolton, Lancashire, although it could be about ten thousand holes...geddit? Oh, sorry, that should be Blackburn, Lancashire...I digress, back to the real damage. Yes my friends, real dead people, and people with missing bits, because some idiots decided to sell fraudulent explosive detectors, some idiots were fooled by them, some idiots were bribed to buy them, and now those who should be doing something about it are running around in ever decreasing circles, making themselves and this country look even dumber than usual,

I'M SO EXCITED, I JUST CAN'T HIDE IT

Newsnight...Hip Hip Hooray.

THE SCUM, THE SCAM AND THE SLIME

For the sake of convenience and rigorous scientific approach, I have now classified various participants.

In the first classification, THE SCUM , are the main protagonists. Those who actively sell, or buy the fake explosives detectors using corrupt kickback payments. This is futher sub-divided into MAJOR SCUM and MINOR SCUM:
