you're not thinking hard enough.

Just who can't be defeated? I am not saying I can defeat anyone, but who can't be defeated? The American Jews conspirators?

So this Jewish Conspirators job is to put people in jail? They are bad huh?
Is that a warning or simply an information? Or you put me in jail?
Argh, another bad buy on bad internet.
Mr Grenfell then identified Bryant, realised who it was and called out, ‘It’s him.’
...Mr Buckley looked down the road Page 154 And observed Bryant standing beside the open driver’s door of his yellow Volvo, raise a rifle to his shoulder and shoot Mrs Mikac and immediately thereafter her youngest daughter.
Mrs Frida Cheok and son, Nicholas, observed a woman in the front passenger seat of the BMW we believe to have been Mrs Nixon, motioning to them with her hands as if to say, ‘go back’. At the same time they observed two men, Bryant and Mr Salzmann apparently arguing at the driver’s side door of the Volvo. It is the Crown case that Bryant then quickly moved a step or two to the rear of the Volvo and removed the .308 calibre SLR rifle. A few more words were exchanged and Bryant raised the rifle and shot Mr Salzmann at point blank range through the neck, a lethal injury, causing Mr Salzmann to fall straight backwards to the roadway.
Jenetta Hoani, the gunman's former girlfriend, claimed that Bryant was obsessed with bestiality, violent videos and teddy bears, of which he had 200 in his bedroom. His best friend was a pet pig with whom he sometimes shared his bed. Jenetta said Martin's favorite video was "Child's Play 2", which features a doll named Chucky that is possessed by a serial killer and comes to life after killing a boy and taking over his body. She also said that he would undergo frightening personality changes and appeared to delight in death and danger.Ref
During the 12-hour siege an Australian journalist managed to reach Bryant by phone. He told her, "I can't talk now, I'm having too much fun. I want to have a shower and if you ring me back again I will shoot the hostage."Ref
In his childhood Mr Bryant was assessed on a number of occasions by psychologists and psychiatrists. He was noted soon after starting school to have both behavioral problems and learning difficulties. He was referred from the Friends School in September 1973 for assessment. He was noted to be aggressive, destructive and very difficult with other children. He was transferred to the New Town Primary School where again his behavior led to referral to a child guidance clinic. At this time he was thought to be hyperactive and placed both on medication and subsequently on a special diet which was then fashionable for the treatment of this condition. Mr Bryant's behavior at school and at home remained troublesome. He is noted in the records from New Town Primary School to lack friends, to be struggling scholastically and to be persistently disruptive in class. There are references to him stealing, to him having violent outbursts and to tormenting vulnerable children. There are also descriptions in this material of him taking delight in the discomfort and failure of other children in the class situation. In August 1977 he was suspended from the New Town Primary School and soon after was assessed at the Hobart Diagnostic Centre. In this assessment there are records of Mr Bryant torturing and harassing animals and tormenting his sister. He was still apparently having speech problems at this time. Considerable work was attempted to remedy Mr Bryant's problems and when in 1978 he returned to school there was noted to be a decrease in his aggressive and distruptive behavior, though he was apparently still teasing younger children. In 1980 on transfer to the New Town High school he was placed in the special education unit where at least initially he coped better both academically and behaviorally. There is however clear indications of deterioration in all aspects of his performance toowards the end of his school career. Again in the material from this period are references to tormenting animals. Ref
Mr Bryant spoke of this longstanding resentment against Mr and Mrs Martin. He described them as "very mean people" and as " the worse people in my life". The basis for this antipathy appears to be Mr Bryant's belief that Mr Martin bought the property which they occupied at their death with the expressed intention of preventing his father from buying the same property. Mr Bryant appears to believe that this event broke his father's heart and led to the downfall of this family. It appears that this was indeed a family myth about their misfortunes and according to Mrs Bryant her late husband would often complain to Martin Bryant of the damage to the family inflicted by what was viewed as the double dealing of the Martin familyRef
...Lets start out by examining first, the claim that Bryant was "phenomenally accurate" in his shooting. That it was impossible for such a person as Bryant who was intellectually handicapped. Indeed, Vialls makes the point, continually that, Where method is concerned any expert combat shooter could have killed 20 unarmed civilians in less than thirty seconds, and wrought havoc in the general area, although the words "expert combat shooter" should be noted with care.
...Now, lets examine what the EMA conference proceedings had to report on the number of people killed in the Broadarrow Cafe, where most of the deaths occurred. Bryant is claimed to have shot, "people with 29 shots being fired, the first 18 in about 15 seconds. From these 20 people were killed and a further 12 wounded."(p.5, EMA, Port Arthur Papers)
Furthermore, it had this to add about the nature of the wounds suffered by the victims at Port Arthur:
The fatal injuries were predominantly high calibre gunshot wounds to the head, chest, or both, mostly at very short range. The critical injuries were all high calibre gunshot wounds to the upper body (chest, neck, jaw, head and shoulder) and other injuries included gunshot wounds to peripheries limbs and legs) and penetrating fragment injuries. (p.34, EMA, Port Arthur Seminar Papers)
To this can be added, according to the "Forensic Overview" of the Conference Papers that, "the pattern of injuries was variable, some being of single shot through and through type, others being complex with several injuries being complicated intermediate targets and primary and secondary woundings." (p.99, Ibid)
From my past military and technical training this indicates to me not a case of considerable marksmanship but rather one of incredibly low accuracy on the part of Martin Bryant. We have more people hit than the number of shots which were actually fired in the Broadarrow Cafe. This would tend to indicate that bullets actually penetrated and struck other victims on their exit from the original victim's body. This is further supported by this comment about the power of the rounds used by Bryant:
The power of the weapons was such that one bullet fired at a car pierced the metal pillar between the driver and passenger's windows killed the woman and exited through the other side of the vehicle. (ibid)
Furthermore, because of the nature and position of most of the injuries, as described above, it becomes evident that either Bryant was either firing, not from the hip but the shoulder or the victims were in fact seated. Considering the other evidence available that most of the victims were in fact eating in and around the Cafe, we can I think almost completely discard the former of the two hypotheses and safely assume that the majority of his victims were actually seated at the time they were shot.
The result is that instead, as Vialls and Noel claim, Bryant was carefully aiming each round, resulting in phenomenal accuracy, he more than likely was doing what we used to refer to in the Army as "spray and pray" - pulling the trigger as fast as he could (remember this is only a semi-automatic weapon) and simply pointing it in the general direction of his target.Because that target was a densely packed throng of people in a small confined space he managed to hit far more than he actually aimed for (if he aimed at all) and in the process achieved a higher "kill ratio" than he would normally have been expected to. It can be fairly safely assumed that most in the target area were also seated (at least initially) and that Bryant standing and firing from the hip, produced a disproportionate number of head wounds, all of which resulted in death, whilst the peripheral wounds necessarily did not.
Ref
Dr Wilf Lopez is the Head of Psychiatry at Risdon. He says Bryant isn't easy to deal with. Every day Bryant reminds his jailers of who he is and what he's done.
Wilf Lopez: I'll give you one example. One of the nurses happened to be talking to him, and Martin as usual in a very childish way said, 'Have you got any children? How old are they? Will you bring them to come and see me?' And when this particular member of the staff - I'm not saying nurse or officer - said, 'Oh, I'm not going to bring them', he just put his hand out and said 'Click! Click!' - you know, making the suggestion of a gun.
Ginny Stein: That was not an isolated incident. Bryant has said many terrible things to staff. He's even offered to be a sperm donor. But the incident where he asked a staff member to bring children to visit, and then acted out shooting them, remains solid in the memories of hospital staff.
Forensic psychiatrist Dr Rod Milton later explained Bryant's actions to me.
Rod Milton: I suspect that his staring was quite deliberate, in order to discomfort you.
Ginny Stein: He would be aware of that?
Rod Milton: Well of course, he spends most of his time thinking about how he has an effect on other people, and that was the reason for the killing.
Wilf Lopez: I think gradually the gravity of what he has done seems to be sinking in, and it is quite obvious now when he talks, he does express words that convey the feeling that he probably regrets what he has done. Not because he's jailed, but in general. For instance he starts talking about 'Should I write to those people and say how sorry I am?' And I've been trying to document this sort of statement that he makes, so that I can put it back to him and see how sincere he is about this.
Ginny Stein: Have you tried to put it back to him as yet?
Wilf Lopez: No, not yet. At this stage, I'm trying to collect as much information as possible, document it, and then put it back to him. What I'm worried about is that if I do this prematurely, he's going to say and do things to please me, rather than express his real feeling.
The result is that instead, as Vialls and Noel claim, Bryant was carefully aiming each round, resulting in phenomenal accuracy, he more than likely was doing what we used to refer to in the Army as "spray and pray" - pulling the trigger as fast as he could (remember this is only a semi-automatic weapon) and simply pointing it in the general direction of his target.Because that target was a densely packed throng of people in a small confined space he managed to hit far more than he actually aimed for (if he aimed at all) and in the process achieved a higher "kill ratio" than he would normally have been expected to.

More on the Port Arthur Massacre and their patsy.
Forwarded is one of the most bizarre events of the recent past. Its facts were so muted and disguised as to make the entire issue, hardly plausible. Yet, the event happened, and the Gun issue in Australia emerged.... The similar event in Scotland can easily fit into the same category ..as unsolved, or at least why these people did what they did...JRN
Was Port Arthur Designed to Undermine our National Security ?
It is an accepted media "fact" that Martin Bryant, an intellectually- impaired young man with a dramatically low IQ of 66, shot dead 35 people at Port Arthur and wounded 22 others.
Not just that, but this awesome shooter managed to kill the first 19 out of 20 dead in the Broad Arrow Cafe with single accurate shots to the head fired from his right hip.
Not bad for a man with no firearm experience other than using a Webley Osprey air rifle when he was a boy, and by the way, Bryant used to fire the Webley from his left shoulder because he is and has always been left- handed.
Perhaps the media should have questioned this startling inconsistency but failed to do so. After all, the suspect was in custody, international media outlets were screaming for the "dramatic" story, and somehow Martin Bryant's increasingly desperate pleas of "Not Guilty" were ignored by all and sundry.
Why? Perhaps because the Tasmanian Government was already aware that there was absolutely no evidence of any kind linking Bryant to Port Arthur, and needed a media "conviction" to protect their exposed political hides. And so it was that Martin Bryant became the most vilified and hated man in Australia, with thousands calling for his immediate execution.
BEFORE YOU RUSH TO JUDGEMENT ON PORT ARTHUR, TAKE A HARD LOOK AT THE QUEEN v. MARTIN BRYANT, AND TRY TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS TO YOUR SATISFACTION. IT IS UNLIKELY YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO SO.
--- 1 Two hours before the mass murder commenced at Port Arthur, all senior site personnel were collected and driven north to a management seminar more than two hours from the Historic Site. In practice, this meant that at the time of the mass murder, no experienced managers were available at the Port Arthur Site. A residential weekend management seminar had never happened before in the entire history of Port Arthur.
WHO ISSUED THIS EXTRAORDINARY ORDER ?
--- 2 One hour before the massacre commenced at Port Arthur, the only two armed policemen on the Tasman Peninsula were decoyed on an imaginary drugs bust, to a coal mine location 30 minutes drive away from Port Arthur. Within minutes of these officers reporting themselves on location at the coal mine by radio, the shooter opened fire in the Broad Arrow Cafe. Timed from the point at which shot number one was fired, the entire massacre was completed in 17 minutes elapsed tim, meaning armed police could not intervene.
WHO DECOYED THE ARMED POLICE OFFICERS ?
--- 3 The shooter entered the Broad Arrow Cafe carrying his weapons in a Prince sports bag, then left the empty sports bag in a prominent position to later "link" the murders to Martin Bryant. Problem! The Colt Commando AR15 later found by police at Seascape Cottage and claimed to be "Bryant's Murder Weapon", has a standard 14.5" barrel, making it far too long to fit into the Prince sports bag. The weapon removed from the sports bag in the Broad Arrow Cafe by the real shooter had a barrel no longer than ten inches. Where is the shortened AR15 actually used in the mass murder?
--- 4 After the mass murder, police were attracted to Seascape Cottage by a tall plume of smoke from a burning BMW in the yard. Martin Bryant remembers a BMW car but is adamant he does not remember setting fire to it, because a man was secured in the boot, or so he believed. Bryant was [Glenn Pears] was removed before the car was set on fire, and later shot dead inside Seascape Cottage. Was the car set on fire merely to destroy forensic evidence, or was it [like the Prince sports bag in the Broad Arrow Cafe], used as another 'link' to incriminate Martin Bryant ?
--- 5 Immediately after being taken into custody and while being treated at the Royal Hobart Hospital, Martin Bryant was able to easily converse with his captors, confirm he understood their questions, and plead "not guilty". How was this possible? If Bryant had been inside the Broad Arrow Cafe during the mass murder, the concussive blast of 20x.223 Remington rounds fired by an AR15 with a shortened barrel, would have severely damaged his hearing. Most survivors in the cafe were hearing impaired for weeks, and some had burst eardrums. Even the, only the shooter him self was subject to the full reflected concussive blast of all 29 rounds. This medical fact alone excludes Martin Bryant from the Broad Arrow Cafe, so who really did the shooting?
