It cannot honestly be denied... Morally should never be denied... And ethically places a duty on the Scottish justice system to relentlessly pursue those who raped her in which it has failed spectacularly.
It is my belief that had this happened, a web of perversion, corruption and dishonesty would have been untangled. - There is hope that to some degree it might still. But the recent conviction of Robert Green places a yet another impediment in the way of obtaining justice for Hollie Greig.
The conspiracy theorists cry ‘foul’ at the mainstream press for not reporting on the Hollie Greig case. Yet they place every obstacle in the way of the reporting they crave, by driving the issues further and further down the road of madness. Often breaching the law themselves so that any legitimate reporter who provides a ‘lead in’ to their nonsense faces all sorts of professional risk...
Competent fire-fighters don’t rush unprotected into burning buildings. And sometimes have no alternative but to stay back for the sake of their own survival, on which rests the outcome of many other future disasters...
For what seem like an age now I’ve tried to steer the Hollie Greig case free from the destructive flames of conspiracy theory. The man who first orchestrated that being Greg Lance-Watkins. He was exposed for a fraud and liar. - An incendiary keg leaking non-credibility over the tragedy of Hollie Greig’s case; he was taken out, opened up and hosed down... Neutralised.
I had hoped Robert Green would have learned from that. .
Re-focusing strictly on the core allegations (i.e. - those on which the criminal injuries payment were based), and acknowledging and perusing the role of Greg Lance-Watkins in driving the case along this mad ‘conspiracy theory’ direction would have allowed both Hollie’s case and the authorities’ persecution of green to be exposed in the mainstream press.
I had hoped that Robert Green would see sense. That he would pick up the book I recommended, read it, learn from it; see where he had gone wrong... I had hoped his eventual defence of these trumped-up charges would be lucid, logical, compelling...
-Not to be
Einstein defined insanity as “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”. Once free of Watkins malicious misguidance what did Green do? He just kept on jogging down Mockingbird Lane...
Most people – most sane, sober sensible people that is – they don’t believe in fairies!
That a relic of Victorian social-networking still exists and still has a little influence is not doubted. The Masons have lasted a lot longer than Facebook will in my estimation; but still, I can’t take a really rather childish ‘secret society’ that isn’t actually much of a secret - complete with its funny handshakes, rolled up trouser legs and stories of bare breasted men in aprons at all seriously...
Membership of the Masons is more likely to see the individual ‘blackballed’ as a ‘bit of a loon’ than give them much in the way of influence. Having been brought up by a Roman Catholic Grandmother I can say the same of all the other quasi-religious superstitious claptrap organisations that once held sway when the general population had no proper education... Relics all...
Nor for that matter do I take seriously Facebook, Twitter or any of the other utterly worthless shite that occupies the empty space between the ears of those with nothing of substance going on in their lives these days ...
Satanists you can throw into exactly the same basket as the Westboro Baptist Church, Ralph Stair, or any other saddo-religious- cult. They’re simply nutcases who have built their lives around fairy tales. Often you’ll find their leaders and figureheads make quite a nice living out of their activities – normally by exploiting people with some degree of mental illness and/or limited intellect.
Non-credible though most of these groups are it has to be acknowledged some tread squarely over the line so as to be nothing short of sinister.
Perverted and criminal activity does take place in the name of some of these organisations; and that must be readily challenged. It is a mistake though to grant them any quarter as any kind of ‘force’. – These people are just nutters! Dangeous nutters maybe – but relatively disparate, small in number and fearful of discovery.
Though often falling into the outraged and concerned category themselves – more dangerous than any of the above are conspiracy theorists. More dangerous because it is they who lend credence to and fuel the fires of credibility which keep the nefarious groups and individuals going... Conspiracy theory allows real scandals to be hidden in plain sight. – It is also big business!
Fortunes are often made by those walking the conspiracy theory stage. Books, lecture tours and DVDs are but a few of the products that monetise the field. People with something to hide – for example governments, banks major corporations and the military – are known to ‘seed and grow’ conspiracy theories; ‘in plain sight’ being a great hiding place!
The irony of a conspiracy of conspiracy theories does not escape me. Half of what you hear from these people may be true. The question is which half?
Those with a serious and honest interest in getting to the truth need to walk an knife-edge of objectivity – not afraid to upset apple carts pushed by often volatile and at times vulnerable people. – and so, here we are with the Hollie Greig case. For my part I have no book or DVD to sell. There will, as I’ve often said, be no TV or Radio interviews. There will be no Hollie Greig film or TV programme made by me for sale...
Sadly though, it seems Hollie Greig’s tragedy may be firmly in the grip of those who do! - have something to flog that is... I am not going to comment on the circumstances of Hollie and Anne themselves save that I can only hope they remain shielded and can live as normal and as peaceful lives as might be possible in the circumstances...
There is talk among journalists who have waited in the wings desperate to start exploring the Hollie Greig case that it might be ‘rebooted’. There are very legitimate concerns at the lengths gone to and the money spent to chase down Robert Green – Especially so since Greg Lance-Watkins, an obviously dangerous and disturbed individual was far more culpable in his action, yet let go unfettered...
This battle may be lost – the war goes on!
