March 22nd 2010 11:57
CHINA'S SHOW TRIAL OF THE RIO TINTO EXECUTIVES BEGAN TODAY. SUCH A TRIAL IN A CLOSED COURT IS ILLEGAL IN CHINA BUT SOURCES (ABC REPORTERS) SAY IT HAS BECOME COMMONPLACE.
THE FOUR ACCUSED HAVE BEEN IN DETENTION FOR NINE MONTHS AND ONLY RECENTLY WERE CHARGED WITH CORRUPTION.
THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN TOTALLY REMISS IN NOT DEMANDING AN OPEN COURT. THE SCENARIO IS OBVIOUS. AS IN ANY SHOW TRIAL THE DEFENDANTS HAVE BEEN BULLIED, THEIR FAMILIES THREATENED AND IF THEY ENTER THE SPACE WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO BE TRIED AND REALISE THEY HAVE NO MEDIA, OR EVEN FRIENDS PRESENT, THEY WILL BE CONVINCED THEY HAVE TO GO WITH THE LINE THE CHINESE AUTHORITIES HAVE GIVEN THEM.
APPARENTLY, TOM CONNOR, AUSTRALIA'S CONSUL GENERAL, IMAGINED HIS WORDS WERE OF SOME INDEPENDENCE. HE SOUNDED LIKE THEY MIGHT BE UNTIL HE SAID STERN ADMITTED THE TRUTH OF SOME ALLEGATIONS. THE DUMB BASTARD IMAGINED THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WERE GOING TO SWALLOW SUCH GUFF.
THESE CHARGES AGAINST THE RIO TINTO EXECUTIVES CAME DOWN ONLY DAYS AFTER RIO TINTO REFUSED TO DO BUSINESS WITH CHINA. THIS IS THEIR ACT OF VENGEANCE.
