Let me share with you the biggest betrayal of Justice by the New Zealand Courts in my extradition case:
US prosecutors claim (in their own submissions) that the ‘crux of the case’ against me was that Megaupload only removed the infringing link from our servers (online access to the file) but did not delete the underlying file (no online access if the reported infringing link was removed).
This is because of a perfectly legal industry standard called de-duplication that is used by all online cloud storage companies including Google.
The Hollywood studios lied to the FBI and the DOJ when they claimed that Megaupload was required to delete the file and not just remove the infringing link that granted online access. Without checking the legal requirements under US law the US DOJ went ahead with their unlawful indictments against Megaupload and myself.
Our lawyers went digging and found a document authored by the Hollywood studios lobbying US lawmakers and asking the US Congress to change the copyright law because online services “only have to remove infringing links without the requirement to delete the underlying files.” The law adjustment that Hollywood requested was declined.
When we submitted this evidence to the New Zealand Courts it should have ended the entire extradition case immediately. But the Judges refused to allow it into evidence. They simply pretended like this case breaking evidence didn’t exist.
Why? Because all of the abuse by the New Zealand Govt against me and my family would have been exposed as unlawful and New Zealand would have been liable for billions in damages.
Not to mention the global embarrassment for having subverted its own laws in servitude to its US pimp. That’s what New Zealand has become under John Key, a lawless US prostitute.
To add insult to injury the New Zealand Govt refused to give me the documents that I’m legally entitled to for my defense. I sued the Govt and won at the Human Rights Tribunal and all the way up to the highest Court. They still did not provide the documents but a few pages that were 90% redacted.
Why? Because they have to hide their corruption. The few times we did receive documents in the early stages of my extradition case we exposed numerous unlawful activities by the New Zealand Govt and won several Court cases leaving former Prime Minister John Key and his Attorney General shit-faced in the local and International media.
People keep suggesting that I should leave this corrupt US colony like a fugitive on the run. Hell no. I’m not giving them the easy way out. I’m letting this shit-show run its course. They will be defeated unless they kill me. I have done nothing criminal and they know it. It’s a shame that my country of residence and the birthplace of my children is a lawless banana republic.
To all New Zealand Judges reading this, the judiciary should be ashamed for having allowed this injustice. Please make sure that my judicial review at the High Court will be heard by a panel real Judges and not by the hand picked favorite of the Attorney General, as before. You owe me a fair hearing after 12 years of abuse.
