10,000 letters over Lockerbie move

[This is the headline over a report issued today by The Press Association news agency. It reads in part:]

The Scottish Government has received about 10,000 letters and emails about the release of the Lockerbie bomber Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi.

A response to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request by the Labour Party revealed the Government has received the equivalent of 190 items of correspondence each week since terminally-ill Megrahi was freed in August 2009.

The Government said it did not have a comprehensive record of all communication received, and it is not known how many of the letters were against or in favour of the decision to release him.

Labour asserted much of the correspondence was in protest against the Government's decision to allow Megrahi to return to his native Libya, and called on ministers to produce a breakdown of the nature of the letters and e-mails.

The party's justice spokesman Richard Baker said: "The decision to release Megrahi was flawed and this volume of complaint shows just how much offence has been caused. The medical evidence has been shown to be wanting and the sight of the Lockerbie bomber being hailed as a hero in Tripoli produced outrage across the world." (...)

A Scottish Government spokesman said Labour's assertion of 10,000 complaints was "entirely misleading", adding: "Responses received were both supportive and unsupportive - for example a letter from the Nelson Mandela Foundation carried his support for the decision - and other issues have generated far greater levels of response, such as the consultation on the then-proposed smoking ban which attracted tens of thousands of responses."

    OFFICIAL CRIMINALS can not indicted in Scotland ? It is now demonstrated in 15 minutes, by a new forensic evidence procedure with 100% certainty that the only major piece of evidence "PT/35 (MST-13 timer fragment) which Libya with the PanAm 103 bombing in connection brings, was manipulated and falsify - ultimately by a green Part (PT/35(b) exchanged as duplicate - has been ! Fits in addition was tampered obviously also several police labels and documents !

    Edwin Bollier (MEBO Ltd.) had already in July 11, 2000, with its Attorney's at law Avocats NEUPERT & PARTNERS by the
    Office of the Procurator FiscalSheriff Courthouse
    Buccleuch-Street
    Dumfries DC-1 2 AN
    Scottland

    a Criminal Complaint regarding the Falsification Evidence In the Lockerbie Case conveyed...

    Dear Mr Procurotor
    Acting on behalf of Mr Edwin Bollier (MEBO AG)
    Badenerstrasse 414, CH-8004 Zurich/Switzerland
    a key witness in the case against
    Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi and Al Amin Khalifa Fhimah
    we herewith respectfully submit the present request to open
    CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS with regard to the following punishable offences:

    A. Use Of a forged (never functioning) fragment of an alleged MST-13 timer, allegedly manufactured by Mebo Ltd.. the company of Mr Edwin Bollier as key evidence for the Crown.
    B. Manipulation with and disfigurement of the alleged MST-13 timer fragment up to September 13, 1999.

    C. Total disfigurement of said fragment from September 13, 1999 until June 2000, in order to obliterate shape and colour of said fragment.
    REASONING

    1. MEBO AG fabricated 3 pieces of brown MST-13 timer motherboards in the middle of 1985. Of these handmade motherboards 2 pieces were subjected to electronic counterparts, thus creating 2 functioning MST-13 timer prototypes. Those were handed over to the Institute for Technical Research (IYTU - STASI/NVA) in Bernau (ex.DDR) in the middle of 1985. The third brown motherboard has allegedly been broken in the hands of the employee Engineer U. Lumpert and disposed of ? (Police protocol testimony, U. Lumpert November 1990, Legal Aid, USA, Scotland).
    Also the blueprint for construction of such MST?13 timer prototypes did presumably disappear in the spring of 1990 from MEBO AG.
    2. Additionally, 20 pieces of MST-13 timer were fabricated 1985-1986 and delivered to the Libyan military-security in Tripoli Libya. Those MST-13 timers were fitted with machine-created motherboards, colour: green (Thuring motherboards).

  2. Continued Mission Lockerbie >>>

    3. It showed that the colour of the alleged Lockerbie-found "Corpus Delicti" would have been of utmost importance for the Scottish Police, in order to identify the origin of the fragments:, one brown fragment. Pol, No. PT/35(b), from a MST13 timer.

    4. Why ? The trace tracked back from the Scottish Police to the USA, to the FBI-forensic expert Mr Thomas Thurman. A Scottish forensic expert, Mr. Feraday, did bring the future alleged Lockerbie-found MST-13 timer fragment to the USA, to Thomas Thurman, FBI forensic expert. He then found that the fragment came from a MST- 13 timer, that looks like MST-13 timers, seized from a Libyan courier in Togo and Senegal.
    Thomas Thurman then on June 15, 1990 did decide and found that the alleged Lockerbie-found fragment come from a MST- 13 timer, that activated that "Radio-Recorder-Bomb. IED" in the plane of PanAm 103! Thus the link between Lockerbie and Libya was established and on November 14, 1991. the responsibility of the PanAm 103 attack could be transferred to Libya.
    The first forensic pictures and films that came from the FBI-laboratory of forensic expert Thomas Thurman clearly contain that the allegedly Lockerbie found fragment came from a brown MST-13 prototype-timer. (Thus the central piece of evidence that the prosecution is relying upon, was in the beginning a brown fragment, from a non-functionin g prototype MST-13 timer that was later switched with a green copied fragment-copy!) etc.

  3. So Labour's Baker knows all the letters were "complaining" about the release eh? The article makes clear the fact that the fors and againtss weren't counted.

    What a complete idiot this man is. It surely says a lot about the lack of talent within Labour in Scotland that this person is their Justice spokesperson. As someone who has indeed written to the Scottish Government about the Megrahi matter on a number of occasions now into double figures I can assure him that his assertion is seriously misguided. What is frightening tho is that he knows it yet still makes public statements that are grossly inaccurate.

    Richard Baker is not an idiot, he is a nasty, malevolent and vindictive man. He knows this not to be the case, but says it anyway because he thinks it will be good for him, and no other reason.

    Idiot, no - sly, cunning and calculating, yes.

  5. Mission Lockerbie 2011:

    Some of the Scottish Officials are the true criminals in the Lockerbie Affair are responsible for manipulating evidence in the Lockerbie Affair and are still protected by the Scottish Justice ! (They are not involved in the PanAm 103 bombing, but responsible for the conspiracy against Libya).

    Notices the words from ex FBI Task Force chief Richard Marquise, cordinator between FBI and CIA in the "Lockerbie-Affair":

    If someone manipulated evidence, if somebody didn't invesitgate something that should have been investigated, if somebody twisted it to fit up up Megrahi, or Fimah or Libya, then that person will go to jail. I mean that sincerely, that person should be prosecuted for that!

    Is the Scottish Parliament in an honest solution with Libya in the "Lockerbie Affair" at all interested ?
    (in google english translation below)

    Der offene Brief von Edwin Bollier (MEBO Ltd) vom 7. Januar, 2011
    an das Scottish Parliament, mit der Offerte die Beweislage um das massgebende Beweisstück "PT/35" (MST-13 Timerfragment) klarzulegen müsste auf grosses Interesse fallen, wenn das Scottish Parliament an einer ehrlichen Lösung der leidigen Angelegenheit mit Libyen und Al Megrahi interessiert ist ?

    Bei Ablehnung muss MEBO versuchen, über die schweizerischen Behörden Internationale Rechtshilfe zuerhalten, da MEBO Ltd. und (Meister & Bollier privat) durch "Scottish Officials" im grossen Masse finaziell - und prestigemässig, durch Fälschung und Manipulation massgebender Beweise, geschädigt wurden.
    Den schweizerischen Untersuchungs Behörden wurde 1990 vom Crown Office Scotland, im Fall, PanAm 103, gegenseitige Internationale Rechtshilfe zugesichert...

    Ist das Scottish Parliament an einer ehrlichen Lösung mit Libyen, in der Lockerbie-Affäre überhaupt interessiert ?

    In case of refusal must MEBO try to the Swiss authorities to get international legal assistance, as MEBO Ltd. and (Meister & Bollier private) by Scottish officials "on a large scale in financial and prestige, was damaged by counterfeiting and tampering authoritative evidence.
    The Swiss investigative authorities were assured in 1990 by the Crown Office Scotland, in the case, Pan Am 103, mutual international legal assistance ...
