Ramos-Horta, take 2!

Right on cue gentlemen! Either in response to the previous article [see link] or as a result of very bad media management, the Australian authorities have urged President Ramos-Horta to conduct another (managed) interview and lay the blame of his attempted assassination clearly on rebel leader, Afredo Reindo and his “hateful” female lawyer! But it’s a damn shame the accusation is pure conjecture or worse the result of coercion.

The principal accused, Alfredo Reinado, lies dead in his grave after being lured to Ramos-Horta’s residence and shot in the head at point blank range! The latest dramatic accusations appear groundless, as no evidence has been provided to substantiate the claims. Therefore the latest managed interview must be viewed with the utmost suspicion, as certain interests are desperate to sell a particular version of events! Would a third interview later in the day, with comments by the ‘hateful female lawyer’ be appropriate gentlemen, you rank amateurs!

EVIDENCE IS REQUIRED, which will no doubt be manufactured to order; the desperate efforts to clear Australian and western forces of the murder of Major Reinado speaks volumes!

During his second interview, Ramos-Horta was at obvious pains to fill the gaps left in his first interview -- one wonders why he wasn’t initially more forthcoming! The problem with the second interview is that it is apologetic of the first non-accusative interview, such a dramatic turn in 24 hours, gentlemen!

The badly managed series of interviews are typical of Australian incompetence and buffoonery. The result of course is the reverse of the effect desired, you screaming idiots! Perhaps you should allow Ramos-Horta to make his own decisions in the circumstances, as he is obviously the most qualified and competent person to deliver a convincing AND AUTHENTIC story! Western orchestrations lack all credibility and only serve to attract suspicion. Better luck next time, you bunch of incompetent clowns.

As for you Jose, we are aware you have been reading this site for some time – if you want EXPERT advice, ask for it! We travel freely in northern waters, as you would be aware – Viva Timor-Leste!

You also omitted to mention why you went to so much trouble attempting to bring Reinado in from the ‘hills’ – these efforts were strongly opposed by Australia and western forces, as you know! But the problem is solved now, or is it? Continue your investigations when you get back home, Jose!
