A LANDMARK VIDEO
Jan Felding of MarginHoose Records called the video highly innovative and ground breaking: "This is without doubt leading edge social network electro-innovation. I've not seen anything like it previously. It is certainly a landmark video."
Rach James, of the 'Artists for Schapelle' publishing platform said: "The message is stark. These are real people in real places, not actors or props. They deliver a very clear and simple message, accompanied by a really beautiful song."
She continued, "The world is watching the Australian government doing nothing to help her, and their media covering their tracks with outrageous and continued smear and innuendo. The world hears Schapelle's cries for help, and wants this injustice and cruelty to end, now. The video speaks for itself to anyone whose mind has not been closed: it illustrates just how much decent people care, regardless of their nationality."
The unique video begins in New York, home of Tara Hack and Liberty Island, and pointedly ends in Canberra, home of Australia's Parliament House. In the interim, it visits dozens of different towns and cities, with residents of each delivering the same simple message, in a variety of ways. The video ends with a very blunt question: "How much more suffering until they listen?".

Awesome as in the video and the quick report. I went to their site and it is hot out today. This is bound to throw a few wobblers. I bet the likes of SMH and the rest of the smear crew never saw this one coming. Bloody fair dinkum all round. I just hope that people are starting to see what has gone down, and get this poor poor girl out of there. |

Great video. It gave me chills down my spine. I read that people can still submit their photos to the schapelle.net website and they will be added to the website. Will have to send one in. |

I hope this video will highlight the Australian Governments attempt to quash support for Schapelle . The former Prime Minister John Howard lied to the Australian public . When he was interviewed on national television after a white powder was sent to the Indonesian Embassey in Canberra. He stated as fact " the initial tests show the powder is a type of bacillus bacteria , the same family as the anthrax bacteria". He added further 'It's an act of reckless indifference to human life" and went on to apologise to the Indonesians. The white powder was talcum powder.The AFP were aware of this almost immediatly! This was confirmed later and yet the AFP went about the charade of wearing contamination suits for the cameras. This had to be designed to stop support for Schapelle. From 9/11 until the " talcum powder attack" there had been 360 such instances of suspicious white powder sent in the post. Not one of the previous 360 had been labeled as a terrorism attack. Since that day the Australian media have launched the most vicious attack on the Corby Family. Schapelle needs international support, it will not come from our government or media. |

Just a man who wants the truth. And it seems to me obvious that the truth is she was smuggling drugs for her own gain and/or personal use. The law is very clear about that. Now you might quibble about the severity of the sentence, but when it comes to the process of the law there is no doubt. It was a transparent process. And the guilty have to be punished. |

Why on earth would there be a conspiracy to keep Corby in jail? What possible advantage could the Australian Government and media gain from it? You lot are like the tinfoil hat wearing UFO brigade. Next you will be telling us that 9/11 is involved in all this... Yours in sanity, Mr Jansen |

Are you serious ? Schapelle requested the luggage of all four passengers to be weighed together ,as her boogie board was not weighed individually by Qantas. She had a collective weight only on her ticket . DENIED. even though all the other baggage was still together and intact. To Mr Jansen Do you really think the Australian Government would not sacrifice one person to preserve relations with Indonesia? If the marijuana was planted in Bali every piece of the puzzle fits. |

Why is it insane to ask: 1) Why was the bag not fingerprinted and the mj not DNA tested when there was an official request to do so made by the Corby family? 2) Why did all the video footage of Schapelle checking in her luggage in Brisbane suddenly disappear? 3) Why did all the media which had been supportive of Schapelle suddenly do a 180 and start printing innuendo that the family was involved in drug smuggling and then not print corrections when 100% of the accusations prooved untrue (see the police reports). 4) Why is the fact that her unlocked bag was out of her control for 12 hours and handled by who knows how many people not considered reasonable doubt. Especially when Schapelle had no prior involvement with drugs. Now how is it that I am the one considered not sane here? |

Because it has no effect on our policies against drug users and pushers. She was caught with drugs and has to pay the penaty. Wijaja, Jakarta |

Wijaja - This may come as news to you, but innocent people are arrested all the time. Basically you're saying that if someone put a bag of mj in one of your possessions when you weren't looking and then are caught with it, you should do the time and shut up about it. FAIR trials normally sort out this kind of thing, but unfortunately Schapelle was not given the benefit of one of those. She was found guilty because she could not prove her innocence. She could not prove her innocence because she was not given the opportunity to do so. DNA testing and fingerprinting that Schapelle requested was denied. The airport "lost" the video footage of her checking in the boogie board bag. The judge she was tried in front of has never acquitted a single defendant. The fact that her bag was unlocked and out of her control for 12 hours and gone through two Australian airports where employees have been arrested for putting drugs in unknowing travelers bags should be reasonable doubt on it's own. Indonesia is supposedly an innocent-until-proven-guilty country, yet the only thing they had was that drugs were found in a bag that was owned by Schapelle. If Indonesia is so serious about stopping drugs why didn't they do anything to determine where the drugs were from? The entire case is a joke! |

Notice these people that are anti Schapelle never have a arguement or give any reasoning as to why she is guilty. "Daaa red it in da payper mus be twue" or they like to insult Schapelle from behind their computers. Real brave to insult someone who cannot defend themselves. |

Although I personally believe she is 100% guilty of drug smuggling considering there isn't any substantial evidence they have no right to imprison her. At the very least she should be jailed over here due to Indonesia's fuck up. They say they're serious about the "war against drugs" yet its always the drug user and not the drug dealer they imprison and//or execute. |

Mr Jansen, western governments (especially Australia) are trying to protect the illusion that Indonesia is a democracy. Once Schapelle was found guilty, Australians were on the verge of rioting on the streets. In case you forgot, at least 90% of the population believed she was innocent. It was a diplomatic catastrophe. The Australian government knows about the problems with the Indonesian judicial system. Instead of doing the honourable thing and negotiating to have her released, they embarked on a smear campaign to kill off public support for Schapelle. It all started with the fake anthrax attack, then continued with a stream of nasty, unsubstantiated newspaper articles. See the comment above. |

Mr Jansen, when Schapelle was arrested, the Australian people were on the verge of rioting on the streets. Anti-Indonesian sentiment was at an all-time high. It was a diplomatic catastrophe. In case you forgot, over 90% of Australians believed she was innocent. Instead of doing the honourable thing and negotiating for Schapelle's release, the Australian government embarked on a smear campaign to kill off public support for her. It started with the fake anthrax attack ("Hey everyone, if you're a Schapelle supporter then you might be a terrorist"), then continued with a stream of nasty, unsubstantiated newspaper articles which continue to this day. The Australian government has a long history of covering up for Indonesia. They lied about what happened to the Balibo Five, they kept the truth covered up for over 30 years. Our government also strip-searched journalists for footage of the Dili massacre to hide what was going on over there. What makes you think this is a conspiracy? It all makes perfect sense. |
