    Re: 'Barron' Castleshort part IV

    I will be sending a formal letter via my MP to the Defence Secretary querying the ommissions in the Admiralty Board of Inquiry Report re the 22.9.89 bombing by IRA of Deal Royal Marines Barracks.

    I have written to HM Coroner re the Pc ELEY Inquest (see earlier posts) re her duty to "Allay suspicion". I have committed to the opinion that the Pc ELEY tragedy appears to be coincidence. But that I would not draw the same conclusion about the murder of Ken Speakman in 1996 (A retired MI5 officer and member of the 6th Thanet Gun Range on Pc ELEY's rural beat)

    When I have written the Defence Secretary letter I will post a copy.

    COPY OF FINAL LETTER TO HM CORONER

    4th August 2009

    Rebecca Cobb LL B
    Her Majestys Coroner
    5 Lloyd Road
    Broadstairs CT10 1HX

    Dear

    Pc Andrew ELEY Decd

    As you know I wrote you some precautionary information in case you found it relevant to your duty to allay suspicion in the case.

    I am firing blind, as I have no idea of Dc Eley’s caseload or inquiry concerns. My guess is that this represents an area of coincidence in which there is no duty to allay suspicion. Nonetheless it is my duty to write to you as you are Her Majesty’s Coroner in the case.

    I am awaiting further responses from FOI inquiries from the Admiralty. I have also received information from ex Army and ex Royal Marine. The history appears to be this:

    (1) From 1976 to 82 James SHORTT ran what is now known to have been a bogus Close Quarter Battle course at weekends at Deal Royal Marines Barracks. He charged serving armed forces and police to attend these courses.

    (2) In 1981 a Sergeant major, from the Army Physical Training Corps, and retired Army Brigadier the late Mike Harvey (who appears to be the officer who retired Army 1978 and became a consultant with Customs and Excise) demonstrated their innovation of Military Aikido at Deal Royal Marines Barracks.

    (3) In 1981 James SHORTT’s mentor Lucien OTT visited the James Short’s “Combat Training Team” Royal Marines Deal.

    (4) The Brigadier’s aikido demo did not go down well with the Royal Marines at Deal who preferred OTT (French citizen) and James SHORTT ju jitsu. The idea behind military aikido was to address problems of Northern Ireland. To develop a hand to hand system which included a progression from reasonable force to restrain to make an arrest through to kill or be killed. My own feelings, incidentally, having trained in military aikido in TA HSF 1985 to 88 are that military aikido was a good idea over ambitiously pursued. IE Too many techniques taught to a moderate standard whereas for practical short term application it is better to learn a few techniques well. Whatever criticism arose of James SHORTT (and there are many leading through the decades to his exposure as bogus ex SAS in the Cabinet bunker security fiasco earlier this year) he does appear to have been a talented ju jitsu instructor with the ability to extract, from the ju jitsu range of techniques, those most applicable to his “Defence and Restraint System” (DART). Amongst the Royal Marines watching the Army aikido demo was, in fact, a Commando with a 5th Dan in Aikido. Who was not impressed. I think it is important to bear this in mind, that SHORTT was rather good at the “Jap slapping” (in military parlance), when considering what happened next.

    (5) The Army men raised a complaint which reached MI5 alleging that there were unsuitable right wingers associated with James SHORTT at Deal Barracks.

    (6) The name .......... was suggested to me a few months ago but he was at Deal 1982 whereas we know the Army complaint was 1981 the year OTT visited. Taking into account Brig Harvey’s military career for example in the Middle East early 70s with SAS liaison (in fact my brother was RAF ops controller with SAS liaison). My suspicion would be

    That if Mike Harvey’s security warnings mirrored those given my brother and I then in the early 70s he would be aware of named suspects as OIRA assets acquiring information of use to the Soviet. Also Harvey moved at a much higher level than my brother or myself (I was a Pc aware of such an OIRA asset acquiring information about Sue Ryder and Leonard Cheshire whose charity activity featured founding trustee Airey Neave). Hence my suspicion is that it was Lucien OTT and suspected connections to the Belgian VMO that formed the basis of the concerns reported to MI5.

    (7) I am exploring this suspicion by further FOI applications to Admiralty. Because it would shape up that the history of security warnings on Deal Barracks 81 to 89 (omitted from the Admiralty Board of Inquiry re the 22.9.89 bombing) had but one genre. VMO (Who supplied explosives to terrorist groups in Ireland) who were associated with Ramsgate’s extremist right wing IRA supportive group League of Saint George.

    ( In 1981/82 the Royal Marines held a SIB inquiry which appears only to have looked at SHORTT as a talented sports ju jitsu instructor and not at his broader curriculum (for which he was not qualified) such as teaching pistol skills to off duty police. The RM SIB inquiry allegedly found that Brigadier Harvey and the APTC Sergeant major had formed a company with rights to distribute the equipment required if their aikido system was adopted by Police and Armed Forces. Hence it appeared that the Army men had a vested interest in discrediting any rival combat and restraint system.

    (9) Out of the “Combat Training Team” Royal Marines Deal (SHORTT’s bogus CQB course) grew the International Bodyguards Assn and the International Law Enforcement Training Agency. And bizarre live fire training at gun ranges such as, I strongly suspect, the 6th Thanet Gun Range on Pc ELEY’s former beat. Information suggests that there was a shooting fatality in the 90s on a Swindon range during such use. Information is that at Stone Lodge Range Dartford there was simulated hostage recovery training in which shots were fired at targets either side of trainees acting the hostage. And you are already familiar with what Army expert ................... saw at 6th Thanet Range. Firing from moving cars, exiting cars and firing whilst rolling etc. There is also information re Dartford range of unlawfully modified shotguns and sub machine guns. You are aware of the sub machine gun information re 6th Thanet that Kent Police have long since refused to pursue. You area aware that member of the Kent Police Authority Bill Hayton tried to intimidate ............... to dissuade his evidence. You are aware that Kent Chief constable has refused to interview Pc Peter WALMSLEY (Armed support) to identify an armed support officer involved with the unlawful live fire activity at 6th Thanet in the 90s.

    (10) There was a history of SHORTT having cars modified with armour plate welded behind driver so that a live fire pursuit could be part of his curriculum but this appears only to have happened on his overseas training courses. I would not yet rule it out for for having occurred around the area of 6th Thanet range. But I have no information that it did occur.

    (11) You are aware that I wrote to Chief constable and Ch Supt Hogben with details of the murder case in London in which SHORTT was allegedly a suspect for supplying the guns and that SHORTT was then allegedly a doorman at Charlie KRAY’s nightclub in Croydon.

    (12) In the 1980s SHORTT worked for a company Special Training Services which had some links to Wouter Basson and his apartheid regime nuclear biological chemical warfare programme … which in time became part of the bogus WMD case made to invade Iraq. Basson also had links with Thor Margate (See Alan Kidger murder).

    (13) A member of SHORTT’s “Combat Training Team” at Deal Barracks in the 80s was a sergeant in V Queens V TAVR Kent. This TA NCO was also an employee, it is said, with SHORTT at Special Training Services Ltd. As you know V Queens V TAVR is the unit in which DI George ROGERS in 87 arrested George MAISON and 20 others for paramilitary activity. Small world but I have not identified who SHORTT’s associate in V Queens V TAVR was.

    (14) You are aware of the alleged League of Saint George connections of ex tory Cllr George MAISON. You are aware that Sir John GRUGEON of Kent Police Authority called for inquiry in August 97 into this and into alleged sabotage at Petbow consistent with Stage 3 OIRA Garland Plan (And you are aware that in recent years I sent Chief constable a witness statement establishing that MAISON and the alleged saboteur were in fact associates). You are aware of the 6th Thanet Range connotations of Thanet CID refusing to re-examine the Georgina MAISON Decd case (Murder case Ken SPEAKMAN) And you are aware this may be connected with CID failure to charge Anthony SWINDELLS (Ken SPEAKMAN’s murderer) with the paramilitary clad assault on Mrs Mortlock 1996. You are aware I asked, purely as a precaution, that you cross refer the Georgina MAISON suicide to that of Margate reference librarian Penny WARD. You are aware of the alleged perjury by Cllr Hayton on MAISON’s behalf in 1998 Aldwych High Court when HAYTON allegedly told High Court there was no procedure of inquiry in place against MAISON (Not Sericol forged qualifications ? Not Georgina MAISON Decd ? Not that called for by Sir John Grugeon ? Not re 6th Thanet Range ? Not re pseudo cadets the Kent Adventure Training Corps (They lost their KCC youth affiliation status in 2003 under my complaints) ?

    (15) I am afraid that we still face the hardy perennial problem when Kent Police are involved in a history. .......

    In the second link (scroll down to the thumbnail), did anyone else notice the following?: (my bold)

    To date despite the efforts of Mr. Shortt, Councillor Pearse McGeough and An Garda Siochana there has been no let up to a sustained campaign...
    McGeough is a Sinn Féin councillor:

    ( 1995-1996 Russia) Shortt vs Linder. ( needs translating )

    The history of confrontation of the International Bodyguard Association (IBA) and the Association of Counterterrorism of the training of Joseph Linder. Who is a liar and deceiver? Since then, actually started the history of a training school for bodyguards in Russia.
    Joseph Linder concealed friendship with the secret police, Jim Shortt shows documents and offers a full-time appointment.

    "Personal contacts made this things happen.
    First USSR inviter for Jim was Joseph Linder ( our persona non grata) - he made possible some contacts for Jim on his courses. Thus Jim met Ukranian guy Nikolay (can get surname if it is cruisial) in Simferopol.
    Jim was just invited to Russia and maybe some friends brought him to Riazan.
    As to courses - it is simply funny.
    Ask VDV if they remember his courses.
    Course cost money and direction is given by commanders"

    Obviously this was also "unfortunate misunderstanding":

    Wonder where they got the information about his service, since it's apparently his interview during the course given to Securitas Poland...

    Misunderstanding/mistranslation? Poor Shortt so misunderstood. :(
    An officer:
    is never lost, he is merely geographically disorientated.
    is never drunk, he is socially confused.
    never comes, he arrives.
