According to Financial Mail on Sunday journalist Tony Hetherington — in answering a letter from someone I had never met or heard but who had bought shares in one of my gold exploration companies from a third party (another company) — he had invested in “Fools Gold”. I had actually never sold even one share in that company to any single individual. Hetherington wrote that on August 10, 2008. The company mentioned was one I had just recently formed to joint venture on a very real and quite valuable group of gold mining claims in Nevada. They will, I expect, start to be seen as very valuable indeed, most particularly now as of late 2011, as any value can no longer be seen for either Tony Hetherington or The Mail´s journalistic standards. They are really not news media. They are parasites profiteering on the gullibility of the populace, as I think a majority of the public will now soon see and recognize in The Mail group´s general and long-term modus operandi as here to be seen. Back then, with The Mail and Hetherigton´s many gratuitous smears published on me and that fledgling company, the desirable or possible role for that company to do anything at all was suddenly brought to an end. The value of that company — as an SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) as they are called in the mining industry — was over almost before it had begun, with not a single share having directly been sold by that company to any individual and with no individual having ever sent a penny to the company. Eventually what became clear was that a boiler room operation had occurred. The people behind the boiler room — one Richard Pope, a Paul Gunter and his daughter Zibiah , and others (according to the latest news on that 2008 episode published on March 11, 2011) — had sold shares fraudulently under the guise of more than 54 other similarly victimized companies (plus non-existent ones), selling them to thousands of individual victim investors. According to The Mail item of 2011: “Richard Pope, 53, funded a lifestyle of fast cars, yachts and private jets as his international gang pressurized pensioners over the phone into buying non-existent shares. His crime empire made over £100 million as more than 2,300 victims were bullied into handing over life savings….Pope spent two years on the run before his arrest, police said. The bachelor, who was extradited to the US from Spain, helped sell fake shares and options to unsuspecting investors between July 2004 and March 2008. His crime gang stole the identity, history and shareholder base of dormant, publicly trading companies in America before cold calling investors using 'high pressure and misleading sales techniques'….Web sites and glossy brochures were used to give further credibility to the gang's bogus investment opportunities that would ultimately account for at least 2,300 victims…..The stolen money was funneled off into US bank accounts.” The first press reports in 2008, after the first arrests of the gang members, were about Paul Gunter and his daughter Zibiah in the U.S. As The London Times wrote on March 13, 2008: “It is claimed that Ms Gunter and her father hijacked the identities of at least 54 dormant publicly traded companies, then sold bogus shares to pensioners in Britain. Before embarking on the allegedly fraudulent scheme, Ms Gunter, who is British but holds a US passport, spent several weeks teaching English to children in the Dominican Republic. Since at least spring 2005 the Gunter's used “high-pressure and misleading sales techniques” to get investors to wire money to Florida banks. At the time, actually, I did not even know what a boiler room was. Now, three years later, all the crooks involved have gone to prison, like Pope, or are still awaiting trial; and it has been conclusively proved (already so for over two years) by the various authorities involved in the U. K. and all over the world, that I had no knowledge of or any involvement at all in any of the fraudulent sales pitches they did to anyone. Duped investors sent all their funds to the Florida banks of the fraudsters. Not a one sent funds either to me or to any of my companies, not one penny. I did not have the slightest idea what was going on, nor even any idea what a boiler room was. I never contacted, nor was contacted by, any single investor before they had sent their funds to Pope and the Gunter's in Florida. Nonetheless, many Daily Mail/Sunday Mail slurs and libels on me and my companies and their baseless insinuations at that time have continued to be in the background and in the air for the three years since then. My attorneys at the time requested them to correct their “errors” as noted in this site. Nonetheless, at the time, Hetherington at The Mail, with many gratuitous slurs, was reporting alleged comments from a few of the alleged investor victims, with various insinuations and outright fictions about me. But I had never spoken with nor had heard from a single one before they had quite foolishly sent their money to some strangers calling them on the phone with some bogus tale that my new and intended SPV was soon going to have an IPO. I could not have imagined that people could be so gullible. But now I know otherwise. The entire readership of The Mail and its group of papers must be collectively just about that gullible. Those investors sent their substantial funds, just after a phone call from a stranger, to some fraud artists 3000 miles away. As I have found as detailed in these pages, every one of the ongoing readers/buyers of The Mail Group of papers buy, just as readily, the journalistic frauds of that group of papers and of some of its journalist fraud artists. Some, as I have found, are in my opinion on par with Pope and the Gunter's. They already had a well-established history of this, as I found out personally in 2008, and as is reported here. Such journalistic tactics by The Mail group as performed on me are not uncommon to it. Hugh Grant sued them and won on this account. As noted on the History of Smears Page, “on 27 April 2007, film star Hugh Grant accepted damages over claims made about his relationships with his former girlfriends in three separate tabloid articles published in the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday on 18, 21 and 24 February. His lawyer stated that all of the articles' "allegations and factual assertions are false." Grant said, in a written statement, that he took the action because: "I was tired of the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday papers publishing almost entirely fictional articles about my private life for their own financial gain. I'm also hoping that this statement in court might remind people that the so-called 'close friends' or 'close sources' on which these stories claim to be based almost never exist." I do not know if the people quoted by Het5herington and The Mail in their in-any-case irrelevant comments about me existed or not. But I do know that I never spoke with or had any communications with any of those making the comments. So, I can say essentially the same thing about The Mail as did Hugh Grant. And thus we both might agree that The Mail group is a parasite profiteering on the body politic, profiteering on all its gullible readers who, if they knew the truths detailed in these pages, would never buy another one of their papers. Therefore, please read on. The message of this web site is simple: They are a blight to a literate and developed nation and culture. Many good people reported in these web pages, inside the media and out, seem to agree. And when you read why I might have been purposefully libeled with pre-meditation and even specifically targeted for these purposes from the beginning by Pope and Gunter (and then also by The Mail), you will see the importance of this drive to clean up the pages of what is available for those in the U. K. to read. Toxic substances — whether in cans or in bottles for the body or on news-pages for the mind and soul — should not be available for public consumption. Starting with The Mail group, steps should be taken to eliminate them— along with its Editor Paul Dacre (see Mail in the Dock Page) and Tony Hetherington. Ah! What choice epithets I could spew on him if I were to fall to their levels. As I clarified at that time in 2009 in the then just recently published book (www.greatgoldgrab.com), I had then had a 17 year history of being smeared (in the press) on the instigation of genuine organized criminals, equivalent to Pope and Gunter, who have been seeking for many years (and for more years before than that than I then knew) to defraud my various gold mining companies´ assets and to avert exposing the criminals adept at using and/or duping the media and corrupted elements in the media and in government to advance their criminal designs (see “History of Smears” on this site). Really serious and professional criminals learn — and must learn — how to enlist their essential criminal accomplices in both government institutions and in the press. This is what makes real “organized crime” organized. Is is Organized Crime 101. Differentiating a duped/deluded criminal accomplice from a knowing criminal accomplice can be difficult. The defining line between the two can be both fine and/or very hazy. Personally speaking, I would say that what The Mail and Hetherington wrote were at least de facto criminal libels — and perhaps to be alleged even as ipso facto criminal libels — and pursuant in any case to the organized criminal purposes of some bona fide criminals (who can sometimes be called “elite influence peddlers”). Some of Hetherington´s comments seemed very well conditioned and prepared (much too well so) by and for such real bona fide criminals that I had known. In any case, Hethertington´s comments very definitely did serve the purposes of some very real well-organized and professional criminals who do know how to either dupe or buy-off the press. What´s the difference in the end between someone accomplishing a criminal objective as a dupe or as a knowledgeable criminal? The difference isn´t in the effect on the victim — in these issues thousands of foolish investors, and, just as much, me and my real and honest investors. Thus, there are, for the press, supposed to be journalistic standards! But these are difficult to find, I must say, at the Daily Mail and its cohort papers. Many people like me can’t find them at all. As we shall see here, and as my book makes clear (www.greatgoldgrab.com), the criminal objectives of all the organized crimes at issue now and for almost 20 years have been the thefts of some very valuable assets. The history of these asset and the reasons for their quite enormous values and why unprecedented organized crimes were designed to steal them (and to “influence” and “mislead” such folks as Tony Hetherington and The Mail) are easy to understand from the links below. The very great value of the assets then in 1992, and still now, should have been unquestionably apparent. It´s all history, relating especially to one U.S. President as well as another. But the real crux of the matter has only become clear over the past year (2010-2011) in Central America. More on this on that Page under construction). I have thus seen most of the ways that “establishment” ensconced criminals and con-artists can try to smear and discredit someone whose assets they desire — or to cover up the theft of them. Was this Mail on Sunday smear another such instance? Or was it just typical fare from a London tabloid with, routinely, one of the largest numbers of ongoing complaints against it? Clarifying the great value of the assets and the motives for the organized criminal actions to steal them, and that had started in1992, had been an uphill battle in a “History of Smears” as noted on that page here. Some history behind the assets of very great value that were in fact stolen in 1993-1994 (data on countless millions of dollars expended in mining explorations and gold mine developments in Central America and elsewhere) are covered in the following links:
Covering up the value of those assets and to continue covering up the crimes employed in stealing them has been an ongoing priority of these expert criminals since1993, a priority of their allied criminal networks, and of the corrupted U.S. government agents involved. I therefore had to face at least the possibility that both I and my new SPV company were perhaps being intentionally smeared by the The Mail, just as for certain we had been in the U.S. (see the “History of Smears” page here) — and just as in any case my SPV in London had also been intentionally targeted to be implicated in major frauds and crimes, not only for the profits of boiler-rooming, but so that other major fellows in crime could also continue to have their great crimes previously against me covered up by having me thoroughly discredited — so they thought. This became my conclusion when I learned in March 2011 that 54 other companies were similarly targeted in the boiler-rooming. This was a big operation of a big crime syndicate. Such big crime syndicates — in one way or many — are linked to others in the Wide World of Organized Crime which knows very well how to manipulate twats in the press. This web site has thus resulted from my looking into the Daily Mail’s history of defamation cases and the editorial practices it customarily employs. I knew I was on to something when I found this item on the net from Ron Greendale of the Guardian as of June 6, 2005: “A further concern, aired privately by several members of the Press Complaints Commission, is the Mail's ethical record. The Mail is said to be attracting more complaints than other titles, including red-tops, leading to a belief that desperation is driving the paper's journalists to breach the editors' code of practice too often as they chase down trivial scoops”. To me, Hetherington’s pieces all smacked of the party line that the serious criminals had used to destroy my former company Banner International in 1993 and to steal (through a fraudulent receivership on 24 hr. notice to a corrupted court) the company’s great assets were immediately just stolen. They simply vanished. A judge had even allowed the involved criminals to bring in heavy equipment to knock down the walls of the two bank vaults in which they had been stored. I was the only one with the combinations to their foot-thick steel doors. That company’s destruction in that vicious and well organized criminal assault was also presaged by another newspaper’s similar smear in San Francisco that was equally as egregious as the “Fools Gold” comment of Mr. Hetherington and his other comments and insinuations. See the “History of Smears” page here. Naturally, in 2008 I had to ask myself if history was repeating itself. Was this smear by The Mail another set-up by some of the same criminal forces who had previously assaulted me and my former company? Was the boiler room itself an effort to frame me? Efforts to frame me in the U.S. had also been unsuccessfully tried as detailed in the book. The Requa/Hoover Files were indeed of a great enough value to have prompted such crimes just to get me out of the way for their theft of the files. Well over $100 million had been spent to generate them. This has now been conclusively proved from 2010 to the present. Countless millions of dollars had been expended to generate the files and their data on gold mines and gold properties. The discovery and development of countless gold mines was the incentive.The incentive was for billions of dollars in prospective gold deposits to be found by means of the data in those files. This web site here is therefore meant to raise the issues in the U. K. that I have encountered over 17 years beginning in the U.S.: how very well organized and expert criminals use and can manipulate (or trick) the press, government agents, and courts into assisting in stealing, defrauding, and plundering in the most profligate manner possible. Media libels and smears against the victims of their crimes assist them to a great extent. This I had seen. Was this then happening in Britain? I tend to think so as my chapters 21, 25 (www.greatgoldgrab.com), “Anatomy of a Crime” and The Mail events seem to indicate, but let the viewers of these web pages and the readers of the book decide for themselves. But in any case — The Mail’s hopes for a “scoop” having been dashed — the UK authorities have for over two years now concluded that neither I nor any company related to me has ever been in the least bit knowledgeable or involved in any boiler room. The Mail, however, for some reason, is unwilling and adverse to retracting their “scoop”; and, for any others who may have seen their pitiful scoop, and the many others like it that they have also done on others like Hugh Grant, they can now discover here the unvarnished truth about the history of The Mail. One would think in a civilized country such as the U. K. that such a monstrosity of a newspaper might have long since been neutered or defamed. Now´s the time, in any case, IMO. Be sure to read here about The Mail´s Nazi past. |
