I don't think he's smart enough to have played a part for all that time, with a view to a pay-off that didn't happen for more than ten years.<br /><br />This either means that the tall dark mystery shopper on 23rd November was for real, and almost certainly one of the terrorist gang (or a contact), or that we have a LIHOP/MIHOP scenario in which a highly unlikely piece of misdirection was put in place before the actual event. I say highly unlikely because who would really have predicted that Tony would have recalled the purchase in the detail he did? Months later? Honestly?<br /><br />Occam's razor says the mystery shopper was real, and a contact of the terrorist gang. I suspect a deliberate misdirect on the part of the real bombers, intending to put the bomb on board at Heathrow, just throwing in a possibility that might distract the investigation a thousand miles away from the real scene of the crime. And that it worked far better than they anticipated.<br /><br />I think there was a general political will that Libya should be blamed right from the get-go. Reagan made that pretty obvious at the time. I think there was a concerted effort to get evidence to point to Libya from about March 1989 (leading to the appearance of the Toshiba manual fragment and the timer fragment later in 1989).<br /><br />However, I don't think the investigation knew about Megrahi's presence at Malta on the 21st until the autumn of 1991, when they learned of it from none other than Herr Edwin Bollier. I think it was only then that the effort to pin the purchase of the clothes and the introduction of the bomb on Megrahi himself was set in motion.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351904589099176534.post-25092055945000767492011-01-26T04:31:16.478-08:002011-01-26T04:31:16.478-08:00Perhaps even a corpse?

Instinctively, the whole Libya-dunnit storyline seems slapped together in response to something they should have seen - quicker by far than most realize (early-mid 89) but not early enough to be sewing itself up with the actual bombing. <br /><br />But otherwise, that's all fair speculation, and it might be more than that if I had the time to dwell on it deeper. <br /><br />One thing I could well buy, knowing how expected an Iranian revenge was, how needed a cover-up might become, advance fishing for an alternate with Libya could have been in the works before the bombing.

Either the clothing was in the primary suitcase or (with the timer?) was introduced at Tundergarth along with other material, perhaps even a corpse. Even in possibility 2 "planted after the fact" the clothing was (almost) undoubtedly purchased several weeks ahead of the bombing. What was the purchaser's (or his principals's) purpose - to establish a forensic link with "Libya" 4-5 weeks in advance of the bombing? <br /><br />The matter of the timer and the clothing are intimately related. Their Lordships (at Camp Zeist) were persuaded of the official version of events that the bomb was detonated by a timer and the bomb could have exploded almost anywhere - over the Atlantic - Scotland - England -Heathrow (runway or elsewhere on the ground) over the channel, France, Frankfurt ect. The notion of somebody buying the clothing weeks in advance in order to subject it to an explosion then plant the material in order to fit-up some (perhaps as yet unspecified) Libyan is preposterous or extremely unlkikely if the crash could occur virtually anywhere on route from Malta to New York. This may be why their Lordships (rightly) rejected the notion. <br /><br />However with a barometric trigger (or a remote control device) the suggestion is not as outlandish.<br /><br />I maintain there is evidence of a plan to incriminate Libya from mid-October when security guards removed Abu Talb from an air Libya flight to Tripoli and he went instead to Malta - second best place to establish the connection with Libya. I suspect a plan to bomb one (or several) olanes on the 26th Oct.1988 was thwarted.bazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02338162927520376063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351904589099176534.post-10840072870209286062011-01-24T15:38:37.145-08:002011-01-24T15:38:37.145-08:00Hey, that's an interesting thought.

The possibilities are:<br /><br />1) Legitimate part of the bomb package, bought by the 6-foot man on Nov. 23<br />2) Planted after the fact to lead to Malta and a compliant shopkeeper, with Libya and al-Megrahi in mind (ultimately, tho the Scottish cops probably didn't know it yet)<br />3) Planted ahead of time for the about the same purpose and a legit part of the bomb package. Planted there by ... the Iranians? The CIA? <br /><br />I've been kind of torn between 1) and 2), but I can see some version of 3) as well. <br /><br />But this is a theory you've had around a while, and IIRC, it called on Gauci actually describing December 7 as the purchase date, to implicate Megrahi. But as we've seen, his first and best words are not so convenient, leading to some ambiguity in the set-up I still believe in. <br /><br />Hence I suspect the CIA was ready to pin it on Megrahi in 1989, no later than whenever the Malta clues <b>really</b> first started appearing. But the on-the-ground realization of this set-up wasn't managed 'til later, with Harry Bell and his circular reasoning and such bringing it back on the target in early '91.Caustic Logichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03082923821952309709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351904589099176534.post-21590588034355078632011-01-24T08:04:55.162-08:002011-01-24T08:04:55.162-08:00Rolfe writes (31.12.10)

Since the defence didn't make a big deal about the irrationality of setting an electronic timer so early, nobody had to explain it.<br /><br />I was really referring to some of the Official Version apologists, in particular some of the JREF contingent, who would rather dream up individual, imaginative explanations for each problem point in isolation, than look at the whole picture and what it shows. In that context, we've seen the "well if I was a terrorist maybe I'd want the shock value of an explosion on land" suggestion, while forgetting that the best bit of land to aim for would have been the approach to JFK at the other end, and overlooking the little problem that with the 7.03 version, an explosion <i>on</i> land (the Heathrow tarmac) was a distinct possibility. And then in the next breath they say that the terrorists didn't care that the clothes might be traceable, because they expected all the evidence to be lost in the Atlantic.<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />Yes, the Toshiba manual page was found in Northumberland, near Morpeth. If you listen to Deccy and Geoff Horton, you can tell they're English. I keep forgetting the lie of the land isn't familiar to you.<br /><br />The heavy items all landed in Scotland, albeit close to the border in some cases. Only lighter stuff was blown as far as England, but some of that was blown a very long way. Morpeth is at least 60 miles from Lockerbie, as the crow flies. While the stuff that was picked up in Scotland was relatively carefully supervised, as far as was possible, the stuff in Northumberland was mostly people litter-picking then handing in bags of stuff to their local police stations. I'm perfectly sure the policeman who gave evidence about having received the Toshiba manual from Deccy Horton had no recollection at all of that particular piece of paper.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351904589099176534.post-65859714943830804592011-01-03T16:15:04.770-08:002011-01-03T16:15:04.770-08:00More facts in context of green MST-13 timer DUPLIC...More facts in context of green MST-13 timer DUPLICATE PT/35(b):<br /><br />Seit Ende 1990 haben Edwin Bollier, MEBO Ltd. und sein Rechtsanwalt versucht, das auf einer professionellen Polaroid Polizeifoto abgebildete MST-13 Timerfragment im Origial zu begutachten.

The only thing you're l...Finally, for tonight.<br /><br />The only thing you're left with to make sense of the timer in the context of the Lockerbie detonation is that the timer was wrongly set or malfunctioned. Personally, I think that's clutching at straws.<br /><br />There was no such suggestion at Zeist. On the contrary, Edwin's questionable evidence about the Olympus timer, if accepted, would have supported the notion that the 7pm detonation was intentional on the part of Megrahi and Fhimah. It seems the prosecution never had any second thoughts about the timing, or thought it was something that had to be explained.<br /><br />Of course the MST-13 is a countdown timer, so it would have been set for elapsed time from the time it was activated. (Not like the Olympus, to which you could say, go off at 7 tomorrow evening.) You'd have to work out the number of hours elapsed from "now" to the desired detonation time, allowing for the time zone, and then set it accordingly.<br /><br />Not completely straightforward, and always possible to make a mistake if you're under a lot of stress. But we're talking an error of 3 to 4 hours, realistically. This is pretty bad, and so pretty unlikely.<br /><br />There was also a suggestion that the MST-13 had a fault which might cause it to explode early - conveniently, just the right amount of "early" to match the 7pm detonation.<br /><br />Other apologists have suggested that the bomb may have been intended for another plane entirely, one that <i>would</i> have been over mid-Atlantic by 7pm. However, the entire thesis put forward by the prosecution was that the suitcase had been deliberately tagged for PA103A and then PA103. Any suggestion of a mis-routed bag throws the entire Erac printout evidence right on the scrapheap, and since that tenuous scrap is the <i>only</i> actual evidence to support the entire thesis of the Malta-Frankfurt-Heathrow routing, then junking that junks the entire case.<br /><br />Personally, I think all this is getting so speculative and so tenuous that it's ridiculous. If there was some actual evidence for the rest of the alleged plot, like an actual trace of the bomb being introduced in the morning on Malta, then it would maybe be something that had to be considered. However, postulating either a mistake or a malfunction to try to get the detonation time to fit a plot for which there's no real evidence otherwise is getting a bit desperate in my opinion.<br /><br />Maybe that's why the prosecution didn't go there, no not at all.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351904589099176534.post-75505442906781400302011-01-02T17:34:25.377-08:002011-01-02T17:34:25.377-08:00By the way, the little wiggle on your schematic at...By the way, the little wiggle on your schematic at the beginning of the course is in the wrong direction.

Like the first section, it has a range of possible approach paths, from way in the north over Labrador (where PA103 would have come in, having left on a northerly course), to a southerly extremity that approaches over the ocean until its pretty close to NY.<br /><br />However, the southerly path is quite unusual, and the vast majority of these flights spend up to two hours traversing south-east Canada before they get to NY. Anyone actively intending to bring such a flight down over land (traceable clothes notwithstanding) would surely have gone for that end.<br /><br />If you figured out the earliest such a flight would possibly land at JFK (they can be a bit early if they have a following wind), and subtracted about half an hour, you'd be there. Virtually guaranteed explosion over land, and possibly over the actual USA rather than neutral Ireland (as was the probable victim by the plot as alleged). Unless the flight was actually cancelled, no chance at all it could go off on land. At "worst", it would go off over the ocean after all.<br /><br />There was news a year or so ago of a modern terrorist plot that was intercepted that was going for exactly that result.<br /><br />So "they may have <i>wanted</i> the explosion to happen over land" really doesn't fly either, any way you slice it.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351904589099176534.post-16214989055070362922011-01-02T17:06:53.239-08:002011-01-02T17:06:53.239-08:00That graphic is very good, Adam. I think you'...That graphic is very good, Adam. I think you've got the plane's course pretty much right. Also, the point you make about the strong wind is a good one. The timer fragment was (allegedly) found about 20 miles east of Lockerbie, and a lot of the important evidence would have landed on land even if the plane had been as much as 20 miles off the coast when it exploded.<br /><br />I think you could add the debris trail to the schematic - it would underline your point. I also think you could add other information that would be very compelling.<br /><br />Remember, the terrorists couldn't have known in advance which course the plane was going to be assigned. The web page I linked to shows that these planes usually fly approximately on the great circle route, which crosses Ireland. If you were guessing, you'd probably assume that would be the route taken. However, there was bad weather over Ireland that evening.<br /><br />What I think you could add is the wedge shape of the range of possible flight paths, from the southerly one that crosses Cornwall and misses Ireland, to the northerly one which is only a little north of the PA103 path that night.<br /><br />Then you could add a couple of arcs - one showing where the plane would be at 7.03 if it had taken off at the time it did, on any of these routes, and one ten minutes further out, as it would have been if it had managed to take off as early as possible, at 6.15.<br /><br />This would show very clearly just how little chance there was that the plane would have exploded over water, no matter which route it was assigned, or its take-off time at Heathrow. If you have the debris trail sketched in as well, as it fell east of Lockerbie, it would be extraordinarily compelling.<br /><br />If you can, it might be best to use the projection used on the FlightAware site, because that is more appropriate for the latitude. And then you could pull out and show the four hours of Atlantic that lay ahead.<br /><br />That's what makes the presence of the MST-13 fragment so incongruous, even before you start looking at the anomalies in the chain of evidence. Irrespective of <i>who</i> carried out the bombing, if they had had a countdown timer of that nature, they would not have set it for 7.03. It is completely batsqueak insane. Especially when you factor in the possibility of the plane losing its slot and the device going pop quite unspectacularly on the tarmac.<br /><br />PS. The point about the terrorists not knowing which route the plane would be assigned is yet one more thing that nixes Charles's silly theory - if we needed another one! He postulates people on the ground "half way between Lockerbie and Prestwick", waiting for the plane to appear and the suitcase bomb to detonate. Er, how would they possibly have known to position themselves there? They'd have been more likely to have been lurking somewhere around Galway.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351904589099176534.post-17636893111371349752011-01-02T16:45:13.419-08:002011-01-02T16:45:13.419-08:00Back to the subject on the card.
I think I was wr...Back to the subject on the card.<br /><br />I think I was wrong about when Jim and Jane Swire heard about the disaster. I tend to assume that everybody in Britain heard about it at 7.55, but in fact most people don't watch the C4 news at that time - the audience share isn't very high.<br /><br />The main early news is 6 to 7, on both BBC1 and ITV. Obviously, these bulletins were too early. Channel 4 runs from 7 until just before 8, and the news caught the tail end of that as a "breaking news" announcement. There were no pictures of course. Just the announcer reading the text of the story, and I think a map schematic to show where Lockerbie was.<br /><br />Then there was nothing until 9 o'clock, which was then the main BBC1 late evening news. I just bit my nails until that came on. That's the clip shown in documentaries and in <i>Unfinished Business</i>. It was the main, first item, and the journalists had been working overtime. By then they had actual video of Sherwood Crescent blazing in the darkness. It was absolutely horrific.<br /><br />I checked <i>The Maltese Double Cross</i> to see what Jim Swire actually said.<br /><br /><i>Jane and I were both at home in Bromsgrove and I was actually in my study doing a kind of family calendar with a picture for each month for various people for Christmas. And Jane called me through because she’d heard on the television there was an air crash. And at first, my first reaction was that it couldn’t be anything to do with Flora because I thought she would have been out in mid-Atlantic by that time, and in fact of course we didn’t know that the plane had been delayed a little bit. But I just came through and we watched <b>these dreadful pictures of the little town of Lockerbie in flames</b>.</i><br /><br />If that is an accurate memory, he didn't know about it until <i>9 o'clock</i>. He knew Flora's plane left at six. I think his first reaction was, but Flora would be way out over the Atlantic <i>by now</i>. Of course the crash had happened two hours earlier, but you don't always factor that in at a moment like that.<br /><br />I think that's the source for this constant "the plane was late". No it wasn't. The whole departure sequence is gone through in minute detail in the Zeist transcripts, and nobody once suggests the flight was delayed. As I said, quite the contrary - they were so keen to leave on time they left Mr. Basuta stranded at the gate. And according to the guy who knew, the Heathrow air departure controller, the earliest the flight could <i>possibly</i> have taken off was 6.15. 6.25 was within the normal window allowing for getting from the gate to the runway and making the take-off run.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351904589099176534.post-69632462851961172352011-01-02T16:26:45.676-08:002011-01-02T16:26:45.676-08:00Hell with this, and I can't see an ignore feat...Hell with this, and I can't see an ignore feature.<br /><br />Adam, I don't completely dismiss the Lumpert story, because the date he says he handed over the prototype is pretty much on the nail for the time window when Orkin/Thurman would have had to acquire a sample timer to fabricate the fragment, if our deductions are correct. And I don't believe Lumpert, or Edwin for that matter, would necessarily have realised that.<br /><br />I don't see that "M" shape having a shadow. Eddie suggested it was a scratch made by Hayes to see or show the real colour of the circuit board underneath the soot that would have been on it, and that later the soot was cleaned from the whole thing. I don't know if that's right either. But it is something superficial that's been cleaned away, and it doesn't look very deliberate either.<br /><br />The rest of Edwin's stuff about substitutions is complete horse-feathers. Let's just ignore it.Rolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849975010197698907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351904589099176534.post-67667055319550754782011-01-02T15:15:10.919-08:002011-01-02T15:15:10.919-08:00MISSION LOCKERBIE, Doc.No.1022.rtf.
Weitere Bemerk...MISSION LOCKERBIE, Doc.No.1022.rtf.<br />Weitere Bemerkungen zu MST-13 Timerfragment PT/35.<br /><br />Um dem MST-13 Timerfragment PT/35 den Status als Indizienbeweis gerecht zuwerden, musste das Fragment verschiedene Stufen durchlaufen:<br /><br />1.) Start. Ing. U. Lumpert übergibt an Officer Peter Flückiger "BUPO", am 22. Juni 1989, unerlaubterweise eine MST-13 Printplatine, Farbe braun, fabriziert mit 8 Gitter-Fiberglas, (Prototype) nicht bestückt mit elektronischen Bauteilen; angeblich für eine polizeiliche Untersuchung eines befreundeten Polizei-Korps.<br /><br />2.) März 1989, Peter Flückiger und sein Chef besuchen MEBO Ltd., Bollier und Meister. Es wurde uns das erste Mal eine professionelle Polaroid Polizeifoto (schwarz/weiss) vorgelegt mit der Abbildung des verkohlten MST-13 Timerfragment, später als PT/35 bezeichnet. Nach meinen Erinnerungen kam die Foto von FBI. <br />Die Foto wurde später vermutlich als No.329 bekannt. Die Abbildung auf No.329 zeigte das verkohlte MST-13 Timerfragment mit 2 schlecht verzinnten Kupferbahnen, ein Lötstützpunkt (1); 3 Kratzstellen und einem eingekratzten Buchstabe "M".<br /><br />3.) Da auf dem Lötstützpunkt (1) ersichtlich kein Relais angelötet gewesen war, hatten wir sofort festgestellt, dass das MST-13 Circuit-Board von einem nicht funktionsfähigem Prototype PC-board abstammte.<br />Dies war auch Grund dafür, das MST-13 Fragment im Original zu sehen. (Besuch bei FBI, Scottish Police) mehrere Gesuche bei Lord Advocate während 10 Jahren das Fragment im Orginal zu sehen. Erst 1999 wurde in Dumfries bei Procurator Watson erlaubt die beiden Teilfragmente zu begutachten.<br /><br />4.) Ab Mitte 1990 musste für FBI und Scottish Police klar sein, dass mit dem ersten original Abbild des MST-13 Fragments, nach unserem Statements zu BUPO, Libyen nicht mit diesem Fragment in das PanAm 103 Attentat verwickelt werden konnte !<br /><br />5.) Das MST-13 Fragment durchlief, angeblich aus forensischen Gründen, mehrer technische Firmen. Der absolut unnötige, aber aus gezielten Gründen, wichtigste Besuch war am (27th of April 1990) bei Fa. Siemens in München. <br />Dort wurde aus vorsätzlichen Gründen eine speziefisch angebrannte Stelle herausgesägt und später mit DP/31(a) bezeichnet. Das grössere Teilstück wurde logischerweise vermutlich mit PT/35(a) bezeichnet.<br />Von den getrennten Teilstücken PT/35(a) und DP/31(a) wurden bei Siemens je eine Laborfoto gemacht. Die eine Labor-Foto von DP/31(a) ist vorhanden, die adere Siemens Labor-Foto von PT/35(a) ist bis heute vakannt ! <br />Ref: Siemens AG labor photographs ZPL-TW11-14; Siemens AG report ZPL-TW12, (28. April 1990); BKA report STV87/90F.<br /><br />6.) Mit diversen Fotomontagen (z.B von JREF) wurde versucht mit falschen Fakts z.B. den kriminellen Umtausch des grösseren original Teilfragments PT/35(a) ex braun, bestehend aus 8 Fiberglas-Gitter; in ein Duplikat PT/35(b) ex grün, bestehend mit 9 Fiberglas-Gitter zu vertuschen... <br /><br />by Edwin Bollier, MEBO Ltd., Switzerlandebolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12681382726604052927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351904589099176534.post-82567552459358880922011-01-02T04:55:28.723-08:002011-01-02T04:55:28.723-08:00MISSION LOCKERBIE, attn. Rolfe and Gaustic Logic
...MISSION LOCKERBIE, attn. Rolfe and Gaustic Logic<br /><br />Ich lasse Euere "selbstbefriedigungs Visionen" und fragwürdigen Erklärungen.<br />Ich stehe vor Eueren "Fantasien", bezugsweise Wunschdenken ! Der Vorteil gegenüber Eueren Behauptungen ist, ich konnte das grössere MST-13 Teilfragment Beweismaterial, PT/35(b) und einen Tag später das kleinere Teil, DP/31(a) ab 13. September 1999 bei Procurator Mirian Watson im Polizeigebäude Dumfries in UK, längere Zeit mit meinen mitgebrachten Vergrösserungsgeräten, im Original begutachten.<br />Die Siegel der beiden Beweisstücke wurde gegen den Widerstand der anwesenden Polizeibeamten und Experten, auf Befehl von Procurator Watson aufgebrochen, damit ich die beiden Fragmente PT/35(b) und anderntags DP/31(a) und später beide Teile zusammen, begutachten und vergleichen konnte. Zur Absicherung meiner Erkenntnisse fragte ich um einen Beistand einer Polizei Zeugin, welche von Ms. Watson aufgeboten wurde. (siehe Polizeireport vom 17.9.1999 von Dumfries)<br /><br />1.) Meine Vergrösserung am verkohlten Part DP/31(a) zeigte zweifelsfrei die realen Verbrennungs-Details equal zum original Bild (Foto 329) auf der professionellen (schwarz /weiss) Polaroid Polizeifoto von (RARDE). Ich zählte seitlich 8 Fiberglas-Gitter, das heisst das DP/31(a) musste von einem braunen Prototype PC-Circuit Board abstammen ! <br /><br />2.) Der Buchstabe "M" und die 3 Kratzstellen, gut sichtbar auf der Beweisfoto 329 sind klar Eingekratzt zuerkennen. Obwohl Ing. Lumpert abstreitet, dass das "M" nicht von ihm eingekratzt wurde, sondern nur die 3 Kratzstellen von ihm sind, zeigt ein Vergleich mit seiner Schrift beim Wort (M)OTOROLA, dass das "M"equal der Schrift von Lumpert entspricht!<br /><br />3.) Die professionelle Polizeifoto von Fa. Siemens über den grösseren Teil des abgesägten MST-13 Timerfragment PT/35(a) mit dem eingekratzten Buchstabe "M" wurde mir zu dieser Zeit nicht gezeigt ! (fehlte angeblich) ?<br /><br />4.) Der zur Prüfung vorgelegte grössere Teil, PT/35(b) entsprach nicht der original Teil-Abbildung auf der professionellen Polizeifoto 329 von (RARDE). <br />Kein Buchstabe "M" und keine Kratzstellen waren sichtbar ! Dazu gut sichtbar überzogener grüner Lötstoplack. Die seitlich sichtbaren Fiberglas-Gitter wurden von mir zweifelsfrei als 9 Gitter gezählt. Das bedeutet, dass das vorgelegte Beweisteil PT/35(b) ein Duplikat war, welches zum original kleineren Fragment DP/31(a) mit 8 Fiberglas-Gitter different war und eindeutig nicht vom gleichen PC-Board abstammte ! (Zeugin anwesend)<br /><br />5.) Somit dürfte absolut klar sein, um Libyen in das PanAm 103 Attentat zuverwickeln, der grössere Teil als grünes Duplikat PT/35(b) mit 9 Fiberglas-Gitter, mit dem original bei Fa. Siemens abgesägten PT/35(a) mit 8 Fiberglas-Gitter ausgetauscht wurde !<br /><br />6.) E. Bollier und Ing. Lumpert können auf verlangen innerhalb 15 Minuten, technische Gericht-Experten 100% davon überzeugen, dass die im Scottish Gerichts-Archiv aufbewahrten Beweis-Teile DP/35(b) mit 9 Fiberglas-Gitter, ein Duplikat ist (nicht equal mit Foto 329). DP/31(a) mit 8 Fiberglas-Gitter equal mit Foto 329 ist (von einem ex braunen Prototype PC-Board abstammend).<br /><br />by Edwin Bollier, MEBO Ltd. Switzerland.
