Lightning Over The Treasury Building by John R. Elsom

Martin Bryant principally, his mother Carleen, and all critical thinking defenders against deception, have had to endure the arrows of abuse and ostracism from the unthinking mob. Gun confiscation was the visible result but deeper possessions like our freedom to speak and think were under much greater attack.

Legal standards and due process that are the foundations and protector of civilized society, were trampled and abandoned. Shock was exploited to the maximum degree by willful political opportunism. It was conducted both against him, and also against the social, legal, journalistic and political sensibilities of our Nation. The mob were instantly seething and frothing at Martin Bryant as a result of the overwhelming judgmental media crucixion. Our history books are drenched in the criminal schemes of power. Yes, conspiracies are real and are evidenced regularly in our courtrooms.

It has potent poisonous effects and dynamic impact on the free discussion of the conspiratorial dimensions of political power, and the bewitching role the media plays with clever associating word spells and targeted “witch” declarations. It is somewhat a burden to have to stand up for truth when lies are the popular choice, but this matter is unique in modern Australian history. Martin Bryant was persecuted by the responsible investigating authorities, he was persecuted and defamed by the media, and he was abandoned by the Australian public who were also victims of this horrendous caper. If Martin had been afforded proper legal counsel and process this is exactly what Martin’s testament and the forensic evidence would have revealed. This is the only rational judgement that can be substantiated from all the information in its totality that is accessible to all Australians. I believe the evidence confirms Martin Bryant was a manipulated victim at the Seascape Cottage siege, and did not kill anyone at the Port Arthur historical site. It is well time we rescued Martin Bryant from political prison. This afterword is dedicated to Carleen Bryant with my admiration and my apologies - CB
