Contrary to popular belief, this is not a quote from the Bible but a saying popularized by Matthew Henry’s ‘Commentary on the Whole Bible’ of 1708. – In Hollie's case it describes well those that will not see; those who refuse to engage with reality...
R-E-A-L-I-T-Y - Obviously some are stupid or dishonest enough to need that spelled out to them.
My Agenda all along it has been to try and help gently ‘steer’ Hollie’s case away from the madness of the conspiracy theory camp into the mainstream. My motivation? Justice; those who can be troubled doing the legwork will find I have played a small part in bringing various rogues to book over the past 15 or so years... And Clydeside Television, which I own, is a company that does research and produce programmes of an investigative nature.
Hollie's Case came to my intention in relation to a long term project called "Guardian Agents". It's an investigation into various irregularities within child protection. We were (are still actually) investigating matters like how a man with an conviction for serious assault can remain a Foster Parent... His own daughter having fallen pregnant at 15 - And the Care Commission (as they were before they obfuscated their name) being made fully aware of his conviction...
Just one small example of what is wrong with child protection in Scotland; and as Hollie's case illustrates well, there is a great deal that is very very wrong...
Knowing that this was a field I worked in, colleagues working in the manstream passed the case to me; they were desperate to cover it. But, thanks to the involvement of Greg Lance-Watkins and his driving the story down the dark road of conspiracy theory, it was left unreportable.
They came to me because I am, as a media professional, in an unusual position. Unlike many of my colleagues, I enjoy the luxury of not having to worry about where my next commission comes from. I have no editor to ‘keep sweet’, no corporate policy that must be observed... So I could afford to raise my head above the trench on this one...
From that position, it was hoped, I would be able to provide a clear ‘lead in’ to the case. - To negate some of the damage done by the likes of Greg Lance-Watkins. Watkins' motives in my opinion, were maliferous; he knew that once thrown to the mad-dogs of the conspiracy theory world, Hollies’ case would be consumed rabidly...
Recovery was never going to be easy; few people reckoned on it being made impossible thanks to an entrenched madness.
On several occasions now I have become aware of pieces relating to Hollie , directly or indirectly, being within a very short time (often hours) of publication in the mainstream press. And on each and every one of those occasions that publication has been thwarted... Invariably by the publication of yet another 'piece of madness' openly naming names and laying allegations and riding a coach and horses through the law - No legitimate journalist can or will give a lead-in to that.
I now seriously suspect that Hollie's case has either been infiltrated again, that there is a 'mole' within the central campaign team or that someone has got very close to Anne, with the clear agenda of using her as a cashable asset.
It strikes me that someone with an ear to media, and currently close to the ‘campaign team’ has an interest in Hollie’s case staying firmly in Mockingbird Lane. It has become apparent that other maliferous agenda are now in play. - At the heart of matters now I believe are individuals who wish to make money out of Hollie’s tragedy. The conspiracy theory magazines, books, DVDs, conferences lecture tours... Expect them all in the coming months and years.
Mark these words dear reader - You will see MONEY being made from Hollie Greig by a certain individual who has spent the past 20+ years trying to get a slice of the conspiracy theory market. Some will have encountered this man and his VIRUS-LADEN, TROJAN-infested website and his tacky conspiracy magazine already.... If you think you know who I am talking about, and have visited his site; scan your computer for Trojans...
WHAT LEGITIMATE PERSON CODES THEIR WEBSITE WITH SUCH THINGS EMBEDDED?
Today, thanks to the people behind these thing, I must abandon Hollie Greig’s case altogether as a completely lost cause. -
I am very aware of a particular character who has, as I say been trying to 'get a slice of David Icke's market' for some twenty or so years.
I'm not a particularly religious person; but can only echo the prayers offered by some that Hollie and Anne are not hurt - emotionally or indeed physically - when certain individuals, tired of toying with them, eventually reject them and they are left to the streets...
In my view there is now simply nothing any legitimate media professional can do to bring matters safely to a head – to obtain justice for this young woman as she is now.
For Hollie’s case is now so embroiled with the mad, the bad and the downright dangerous that it seems to me beyond rescue... Which is tragic. Frankly; the lunatics and conspiracy theorists that are now sniffing around the case are no better than the perverts who originally abused Hollie; or for that matter the officials who have failed her. They're doing just exactly the job Greg Lance-Watkins set out to do.
For clarity and the record I have said all along that I refuse to profit from Hollie's tragedy. There will be and were never ever going to be any films, any TV or radio interviews involving me or any business I am involved with.
I imagine now there will be nothing more added to this blog.... And you can expect the tragic case of Hollie Greig to stay forever lost in the smoke and mirrors of conspiracy theory.
