Australia's Port Arthur Massacre
The proof you have been waiting for...
On Sunday April 28th, 1996, at the tourist site of Port Arthur in
Tasmania, 35 people were killed and more wounded by a rampaging gunman,
in what has become known as the Port Arthur massacre.
Joe Vialls, the author of this report, is an independent investigator
with thirty years direct experience of international military and
oilfield operations. The full detail of Joe's report is included on
these pages, but to start with here is a precis of his findings:
Was the massacre in Port Arthur a completely spontaneous act carried out
by a single nutcase with unbelievable efficiency?
Or was it deliberately designed to distort public perception and direct
maximum hatred against a particular group of people?
All of the available hard evidence suggests that it was.
Martin Bryant, now in gaol (jail) having been officially convicted of
the shootings, could not under any circumstances have acted alone, and
may possibly not have acted at all, other than in an orchestrated
'patsy' role.
Martin Bryant, an intellectually impaired registered invalid with no
training in the use of high powered assault weapons, could not under any
circumstances have achieved or maintained the incredibly high and
consistent killed-to-injured ratio and kill-rate which were bench marks
of the Port Arthur massacre. Whoever was on the trigger that fateful day
demonstrated professional skills equal to some of the best special
forces shooters in the world. His critical error lay in killing too many
people too quickly while injuring far too few, thereby exposing himself
for what he was: a highly trained combat shooter probably ranked among
the top twenty such specialists in the western world.
There were no eyewitnesses who could positively identify Martin Bryant
at Port Arthur because an Australian newspaper circulated his photograph
nationwide, thereby totally corrupting any and all police line-ups,
photo boards, or controlled shopping mall parades. All the eyewitnesses
could legally claim seeing was a "tall man with long blonde hair", which
was no impediment to the media who tried and convicted Martin Bryant in
less than two days, in one of the most blatant and disgusting displays
of media abuse ever seen.
As an investigator I insist on dealing only with hard facts because it
is the only way to avoid being swept along by the avalanche of
misinformation put out by the media on a daily basis.
Hard scientific facts were deliberately excluded by the frenzied media
pack and not one attempt was made to establish the real identity of the
shooter. Long blonde hair did not prove that the shooter was Martin
Bryant, and the media somehow forgot to remind the Australian public
that long wigs are the most common form of basic disguise ever used.
American video evidence submitted to the Supreme Court has already been
scientifically proven a forgery.
Without a single shred of credible evidence, someone somewhere decided
that gun dealer Terry Hill would be the "fall guy" who provided
"murderer" Martin Bryant with the weapons he allegedly used at Port Arthur.
The Tasmanian Government and Police Service went to great lengths to
"fit up" gun dealer Terry Hill as the man who provided Martin Bryant
with the weapons alleged to have been used in the massacre. This
draconian activity culminated in a civil court case against Hill,
seemingly launched by survivor Quin for damages and breach of statutory
duty. Active in the case was Roland Brown, solicitor for the Legal Aid
Commission and Chairman of the Coalition for Gun Control. On 5th March
1998 the case against Terry Hill was suddenly discontinued.
Despite the fact that he has never been charged with any offence
relating to Port Arthur, the police refuse to restore his gun dealer
licence on the grounds that he, and his wife Dorothy, are not suitable
people to handle firearms. This is rubbish, easily proved by the fact
that shortly after the gun dealer licences were revoked, the Tasmanian
police renewed both of their personal firearms licences without question.
In the aftermath of the Port Arthur massacre, government went to great
lengths to ignore or suppress all evidence suggesting that the official
story of the day was unsubstantiated rubbish.
Are we to believe that a bunch of planners sat round a table and
arranged the premeditated murders of 35 Australians?
Unfortunately the answer is yes.
All of the hard evidence at Port Arthur bears the distinctive trademark
of a planned "psyop", meaning an operation designed to psychologically
manipulate the belief mechanisms of a group of people or a nation for
geopolitical or military reasons.
In the immediate aftermath of the Port Arthur massacre, politicians
developed collective verbal diarrhoea in the House of Representatives as
they joined the feeding frenzy designed to undermine Australian national
security by removing defensive weapons from the hands of the public.
There is now also convincing hard evidence that the gun control
proposals accepted by Police Ministers in May 1996 were prepared before
the massacre, by an ideological senior bureaucrat with United Nations
connections.
Since the psyop at Port Arthur more than 400,000 reserve firearms have
been pulped instead of stored by the Federal Government, leaving our
nation and people terribly exposed to just about anyone interested in
taking over the natural resources jewel in the southern hemisphere crown.
The only visible cause and effect that can be laid at the door of the
Port Arthur massacre is that the effect of the obscene action caused
public hatred to be directed against Australian sporting shooters, who
were innocent of any crime at all. Directly linked to this was a massive
funded campaign to disarm the Australian people in spite of significant
external threats to our national security.

Australia's Port Arthur Massacre
Government and Media Lies Exposed
The proof you have been waiting for...Part 1
Was Port Arthur No Accident?
WAS MARTIN BRYANT REALLY A LONE
NUT ASSASSIN?
In early 1984 policewoman Yvonne Fletcher was murdered while on duty
outside the Libyan Embassy in London. From the moment she was shot the
media misled the British public into believing that Fletcher had been
shot by the Libyans, who were subsequently expelled from the country in
a fanfare of negative publicity. It was not until 1995 that this author
managed to prove entirely scientifically that WPC Fletcher could not
have been shot from the Libyan Embassy at all, but was shot from the top
floor of a nearby building staffed by American multinational personnel.
Was the massacre in Port Arthur a completely spontaneous act carried out
by a single nutcase with unbelievable efficiency, or was it a repeat of
Yvonne Fletcher's callous murder, deliberately designed to distort
public perception and direct maximum hatred against a particular group
of people? All of the available hard evidence suggests that it was.
When investigating cases like Yvonne Fletcher's murder or the massacre
at Port Arthur, it is critically important to adhere to scientific proof
and avoid eyewitness accounts and media hype like the Black Plague.
Eyewitnesses do not lie intentionally, but as any honest psychologist
will tell you the accuracy of their testimony is limited by many factors
including stress, suggestive police interrogators, and peer pressure.
The more controversial the case the higher the need for absolute
scientific proof, because if the investigation reaches a conclusion
which conflicts with the officially accepted story, the media will
attempt to trash the credibility of the investigator himself, who in
these two cases happens to be me. For four years while investigating the
murder of Yvonne Fletcher I was gently harassed, visited by members of
British Intelligence from London, cordially invited to sign the Official
Secrets Act, then subtly threatened when I refused to comply.
Some readers might wonder why I am including so much detail about a
murder in London when this story is supposed to be about Port Arthur.
Well it is about Port Arthur, but there are a number of disturbing
similarities between the two cases, especially in terms of media
behaviour at the time of each atrocity, and the use of faked video
footage to reinforce the official story of the day. So please bear with
me for a few paragraphs.
In 1992 when I first decided to investigate WPC Fletcher's murder the
most serious obstacle I encountered was the British media, who for
nearly a decade had knowingly nurtured a lie so horrific that it almost
defeats the imagination. Yvonne Fletcher, they claimed, was murdered by
a low velocity bullet fired from the Libyan Embassy located behind her
on her left-hand side, with the gunman firing downwards from a first
floor window at an angle of fifteen degrees.
As any amateur can confirm, that means the bullet entered the left side
of WPC Fletcher's back at a shallow angle of fifteen degrees and then
continued through her body tissue towards the right-hand side of her
body. Right? Wrong... The bullet entered WPC Fletcher's upper right back
at sixty degrees then sliced down through her rib cage, turning her
vital organs into a bloody pulp before exiting her body below the bottom
left rib.
With Yvonne Fletcher's exact position recorded by a television camera
when the shots were fired there was no room for doubt. It was an
absolute scientific impossibility for that shot to have been fired from
the Libyan Embassy, and the steep angle of entry of the bullet limited
the firing point to one floor of only one building: the top floor of
Enserch House, an American multinational building staffed by personnel
with documented links to the American CIA. Without the critical video
footage from the television camera I would never have been able to prove
how she was killed or by who, but fortunately for me the footage still
existed in 1992, and television cameras are inanimate objects incapable
of lying. If proof appears to exist on video there are only two
possibilities: the scientific truth, or deliberately faked video footage
shown to the public for special effects or in an attempt to pervert the
course of justice.
Interestingly and with profound implications for Port Arthur, fake video
footage was put to air by the BBC "for the first time ever" many months
after Yvonne Fletcher's murder, in what appeared to be an attempt to
cement the lies and calculated deceptions about her death forever in the
minds of the British public.
The public failed to ask why this apparently critical footage had not
been presented at the coronial inquest into Yvonne Fletcher's death
(which it was not), but fell hook, line and sinker for the blurred
images and sound track, which apparently recorded eleven sub-machine gun
shots being fired from the Libyan Embassy. The amateur footage run by
the BBC in 1985 was given to one of its reporters by a member of the
Metropolitan police force.
During 1995 I used the immutable laws of astronomy and physics to prove
the amateur footage a total fake. Analysis of the angle and position of
the sun's shadow falling across the front of the Libyan Embassy was
checked using astro-navigation techniques and direct reference to the
Greenwich Observatory, Britain's foremost authority on times and dates
derived from the sun-line, a technique used for centuries to tell the
time with great accuracy using garden sundials.
Unfortunately for the BBC who broadcast the amateur footage "for the
first time ever", absolute science proved the sun-line on the amateur
footage totally incorrect for 10.19 am on the 17th April 1984, the time
and date on which Yvonne Fletcher was murdered. Indeed, the scientific
evaluation proved the amateur footage was not even filmed on the same
day Yvonne Fletcher was shot. Those who created that fake footage and
then broadcast it were not engaged in a mere media reinterpretation of
events, but were accessories after the fact to the murder of an unarmed
English policewoman doing her duty on a London street.
After four long years of research and investigation designed to expose
the real truth of what happened that day, and after one year as
consultant to the responsible filmmaker, Britain's Channel Four aired
part of my scientific proof in a special edition of "Dispatches", its
flagship current affairs programme, on the 10th April 1996.
Unfortunately, three months earlier the filmmaker became incredibly
agitated about my absolute scientific proof from Greenwich that the
amateur footage was faked, removed me from the production process of a
film based on my own copyright story, barred me from the film credits
and then incorporated the fake footage as a legitimate part of the film,
minus the incriminating sun-line, which proved in absolute scientific
terms that what British television was putting to air for a second time
since 1985 was totally false and deliberately misleading!
It became swiftly apparent that although the media was prepared to throw
tiny scraps of truth to the public, gross deceptions, especially those
generated by erstwhile colleagues in the form of fake video footage
designed to manipulate public opinion, were strictly off limits. So it
is on the subject of fake video footage and its potential for incredible
impact on the viewing public that we finally turn to Port Arthur. Some
readers may by now be shifting uneasily in their seats, racking their
brains and wondering exactly when and where it was that they were also
suddenly shown amateur footage "for the first time ever" on television
in Australia. It was on a Wednesday in November 1996, the night before
Martin Bryant was due to be sentenced for his alleged role in the Port
Arthur massacre.
Many months after the massacre took place, but only hours before the
Tasmanian judge was due to make a decision that would effect Martin
Bryant for the rest of his life, an Australian TV network suddenly
presented the public (and of course the judge) with dramatic amateur
video footage shown "for the first time ever". The reporter told us the
man on the video was Martin Bryant on the day of the massacre, going
about his business of slaughtering the good people of Tasmania, caught
on camera by interested amateur photographers who seemed unmoved by the
dangers of high-velocity bullets.
Unlike most of the other survivors these folk did not run away, but
bunkered down like battle-hardened war correspondents covering the end
of World War II from an unprotected thoroughfare in the middle of
Berlin. They were also very discreet the day after the massacre, when
the world's tabloid media descended on Port Arthur like a pack of
ravenous dogs, snapping and growling for any picture they could get hold
of in order to meet their respective deadlines in London and New York.
At that point in time the "amateur footage" was worth half a million
bucks no questions asked, for this was a world media event and no-one
had any pictures. Perhaps the amateur photographers had no need for huge
amounts of cash, or perhaps at that early stage their footage had not
yet been fully prepared, which was certainly the case after Yvonne
Fletcher's murder in London. The amateur footage run by the Australian
network in October 1996 was given to one of its reporters by a member of
the Tasmanian police force.
There are so many irregularities on this supposedly genuine video
footage, which was accepted as evidence against Martin Bryant in the
Tasmanian court, that only a few of the more obvious will be included in
this story to help drive the message home. The rest have been carefully
collated, and it will give me considerable pleasure to detail each and
every one of them personally before a properly convened Royal
Commission. If a Royal Commission is not called to fully investigate the
methodology used in the massacre, and if Martin Bryant is not called to
give evidence, then the people of Australia had best get used to the
fact that what little remains of our representative democracy died with
the thirty five innocent civilians who were ruthlessly and needlessly
murdered at Port Arthur on 28 April 1996.
Most readers will remember that at the time of the massacre there were a
few clouds in the sky but the sun was shining and casting shadows on the
buildings, as shown by footage from some of the genuine video cameras
recording at the correct time, indicated by timing clocks displayed in
the corner of the video footage itself. One or two of these genuine
amateur video cameras recorded the sounds of several shots, complete
with multiple echoes, proving that the shots in question were being
fired outside rather than in an enclosed space such as the Broad Arrow
Cafe. But the video footage allegedly showing Martin Bryant running down
the road was filmed under an overcast sky, which was the first indicator
that something was terribly wrong with this so-called evidence. Who the
hell changed the weather at point-blank notice?
One of the most damning sequences shows what appears to be Martin Bryant
(well, a tall man with long blonde hair anyway) running down the road
away from the Broad Arrow Cafe towards a coach park by the waterside.
Because he is running directly away from the Broad Arrow Cafe with a
bulky package under his arm the assumption is that the package contains
a Colt AR15, the weapon known to have killed 20 victims in the cafe at a
rate of one every five seconds. Problem! Scaled against the man's height
and surrounding objects the package he is carrying is a maximum of 22
inches long, a full ten inches too short for the Colt AR15 which
measures 32 inches with its butt fully retracted, and more than ten
inches too short for either of the other two weapons he is alleged to
have owned: a Belgian FN FAL 7.62-mm and a 12 gauge combat shotgun. So
who is this man running down the road, and why is he not carrying any of
the weapons allegedly used in the massacre?
At this stage it would be nice to be able to determine whether or not
the man really is Bryant, by comparing an accurate right-hand profile of
Bryant with the video itself. Unfortunately Bryant is the least
photographed man in the world today and all attempts to get hold of a
photograph of him have failed. For a while I toyed with the idea of
asking Martin Bryant's lawyer to get one for me, but then he too had his
camera and film confiscated by prison officials. One wonders why the
Australian authorities are so anxious that no pictures of Bryant be
allowed outside (or even in) the prison. They would do no obvious harm.
Whether the man is Bryant or not, a few frames in this sequence make a
mockery of any suggestion the prized footage presented to the Tasmanian
court was meaningful evidence against Martin Bryant. What they show is a
blonde man still running down the road towards the coach park clutching
his package, while in the upper left corner of the same frames three men
can be clearly seen standing directly outside the entrance of the Broad
Arrow Cafe, out of which the blonde man has just run after murdering 20
citizens. One man is standing to the left of the entrance casually
leaning on the balustrade with one hand; the second is standing casually
on the right smoking a cigarette, and the third is standing directly in
front of the door filming the running blonde man with a video camera. To
suggest this in any way incriminates Bryant is not only ridiculous, but
also quite impossible with the blonde man allegedly in the middle of a
massive killing spree.
Just these points alone prove in scientific terms one of two entirely
critical scenarios. If the blonde man is Martin Bryant but unarmed, what
is he doing role-playing with three men directly in front of the Broad
Arrow Cafe? It is scientifically impossible for the three men not to be
involved, so this option proves beyond doubt that Martin Bryant did not
act alone, but was manipulated or directed at the crime scene by others
whose identities are not yet known. If the blonde man is not Martin
Bryant then the only alternative is that a team of unknown men carried
out the massacre and then set up a reconstruction on film using a blonde
look alike, to ensure that Martin Bryant would later be convicted. In
absolute scientific terms there are no other explanations at all, no
matter how much the media might wriggle and squirm in its attempts to
ensure the pathetic "Lone Nut" legend remains intact.
If sufficiently panicked the police might claim that Martin Bryant was
merely helping them with a reconstruction to assist with their future
inquiries, which was filmed and then accidentally released to the
Australian television network. But he couldn't have, could he? Martin
Bryant was badly burned at Seascape and spent weeks afterwards heavily
sedated in Hobart Hospital under armed guard. Of course he may have been
induced to help with a reconstruction before the massacre started, but
it seems unlikely the police would be prepared to discuss such a blood
curdling possibility.
Science can be frighteningly efficient at times because, believe it or
believe it not, science has just proved in absolute terms right in front
of your startled eyes using court evidence that Martin Bryant could not
under any circumstances have acted alone, and may possibly not have
acted at all, other than in an orchestrated 'patsy' role. Which one is
true depends on which of the two alternative scenarios detailed above
are correct, but there are absolutely no other scientific life rafts for
the sinking media to grab hold of. Remember this is not unsubstantiated
hear-say evidence from frightened eyewitnesses used by the media to hype
up its mythical version of events. It is absolute scientific proof which
cannot be questioned or refuted.
Most readers like a story to have a beginning, a middle, and a coherent
end. Science can and has provided an accurate outline of the first two
but it cannot provide the third. As an investigator I insist on dealing
only with hard facts because it is the only way to avoid being swept
along by the avalanche of misinformation put out by the media on a daily
basis, and there are no hard facts available to answer the question "For
God's sake why?"
In any criminal investigation it is acknowledged that three main
criteria have to be satisfied i.e. opportunity, motive and method. Just
about anyone had the opportunity to attack those civilians in a remote
spot like Port Arthur on a Sunday without fear of being caught or
punished in any way. Where method is concerned any expert combat shooter
could have killed 20 unarmed civilians at five second spacings and
wrought havoc in the general area, although the words "expert combat
shooter" should be noted with care. Though Australia has tens of
thousands of skilled sporting shooters it has very few combat veterans,
and even fewer special forces personnel trained to kill large numbers of
people quickly in an enclosed space like the Broad Arrow Cafe, which is
roughly the same size as mock-up rooms used for practising the rescue of
hostages being held in confined spaces by armed terrorists.
It is hard to kill quickly under such circumstances for a number of
unpleasant practical reasons, including the fact that shot people tend
to fall against other people, shielding the latter from subsequent
bullets. Targets therefore have to be shot in a careful sequence with
split-second timing to maximize kill rates. Whoever was on the trigger
in Tasmania managed a kill rate well above that required of a fully
trained soldier, an impossible task for a man with Martin Bryant's
mid-sixties IQ and his total lack of military training, which is an
interesting but largely unimportant observation because we have already
proved in absolute scientific terms that Bryant could not have acted alone.
That leaves us looking for the motive, which is impossible to determine
with any certainty, though it is reasonable to cross link this to Yvonne
Fletcher's premeditated murder in London purely in terms of cause and
effect. The effect of Yvonne Fletcher's savage and very public murder
caused public hatred to be directed against the Libyans, who were
subsequently deported en-masse from Britain despite the fact they were
in no way responsible for her death.
The only visible cause and effect that can be laid at the door of the
Port Arthur massacre is that the effect of the obscene action caused
public hatred to be directed against Australian sporting shooters, who
like the Libyans were innocent of any crime at all. Directly linked to
this was a massive funded campaign to disarm the Australian people in
spite of significant external threats to our national security. If this
was indeed the motive, Australia and its people have been violated in
the worst possible way by sworn enemies of our great nation, with likely
long term consequences too awesome to contemplate.
It is just not right to simply accept the status quo as it exists today
in Port Arthur, because to do so implies that Australians have thrown in
the towel and admitted defeat on the strength of a single savage action
in our smallest State. The only way to avenge our dead in Port Arthur is
to force a Royal Commission on the matter and drag witnesses kicking and
screaming into the dock, including certain members of the Tasmanian
police force. Failing that, funding should be sought for an independent
investigation leading in turn to a book providing the real facts about
the chain of events at Port Arthur, a copy of which should be provided
for every home across the land. All Australians must be made aware of
the real and shocking circumstances in which their fellow citizens died,
because knowledge is the only weapon we can use to guard against future
lethal charades on Australian territory.
Realistically it would probably take years to find the massive sum
needed for such a wide-ranging initiative but there is a positive need
for action now, if only to put the Prime Minister on the back foot and
convince him there is no longer any need to wear boron carbide body
armour when attending public meetings.
