Police accused Strecker over ‘terror’ messages that weren’t hers, court told

Jersey police admitted wrongly attributing messages to anti-genocide activist Natalie Strecker during their gathering of ‘terrorism’ ‘evidence’ against her, the Royal Court on the island heard during her trial on charges of supporting a banned proscribed organisation.

After trawling through some fifty thousand messages, the police identified ‘around 35’ it considered problematic. The vast quantity of available messages versus small yield are strongly reminiscent of the ‘fishing expedition’ modus operandi of Israel lobby groups. Inevitably, this has also been the case in other actions against pro-Palestine activists on the English mainland.

Strecker stands firm

Strecker, a peace activist who has worked with Jersey’s Palestine Solidarity Campaign, faced two charges related to inviting support for a proscribed organisation. These charges are believed to relate to comments about the right of Palestinians to armed resistance against the Israeli occupation and of Lebanese militia to oppose Israel’s attacks on Lebanon. That right is guaranteed under international law, which the two ‘jurats’ deciding the case have been told to ignore, raising fears that the government is determined to fix the outcome.

Strecker denies both charges. Giving evidence, Jersey cop Luke Freeman told the court that the local force had downloaded posts and messages from Strecker’s devices and scoured them for anything it thought it could use, but admitted that a ‘bug’ had caused the police to wrongly attribute ‘many’ messages to Strecker.

The verdict in the case is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow morning at 10am.

    All wars start on the Home Front to propagandise the populace into compliance and to portray anyone who deviates from The Official Narrative as seditious, treasonous fifth columnists.

    And, yes, there is a war on.

    Here’s Kernow Damo two days ago to start us off::

    “If the data showed a runaway surge of incidents in the NHS requiring emergency intervention, the government would be shouting the numbers from the rooftops, wouldn’t they? They’d be on every broadcast outlet waving spreadsheets and telling us this is why they need to crack down. But what we actually see is something completely different; the government making hysterical claims about anti-semitism flourishing and out of control, without any evidence to support that, while ignoring every documented incident of Islamophobic or anti-Arab racism in the same period.

    So you realize the policy isn’t designed to solve a problem in the NHS. It’s designed to suppress a narrative the government cannot control. And the moment you bring Gaza into the frame, everything snaps into place because British health workers have been going to Gaza, haven’t they? They’ve been working in those hospitals. They’ve seen the injuries, the starvation, the amputations without anaesthetic, the systematic targeting of medical infrastructure.

    They’ve come home and told the truth on camera. And that truth makes the government’s position untenable. It makes the arms sales indefensible. It makes the political alliance with Israel impossible to justify in public. So when Streeting orders NHS staff not to wear scrubs at protests, when pro-Israel groups dox doctors and nurses, when managers suspend Palestinian nurses for wearing watermelon socks … you’re not looking at coincidence here. You’re looking at a coordinated incentive structure where the state and its ideological allies all want the same outcome.

    Silence.”

    Meanwhile………

    https://strategic-culture.su/news/2025/12/01/what-does-eu-democracy-shield-mean/

    …..Erik Okin provides a short piece of the new EU “Democracy Shield”:

    “According to the official statement, the project aims to strengthen “democratic resilience,” establish early-warning systems against disinformation and foreign interference, support the media and civil society, ensure election security, and create comprehensive crisis protocols……

    …..The European Democracy Shield has three main action plans:
    • the protection of “the integrity of the information space,”
    • the strengthening of “institutions, free and fair elections, and a free and independent media,”
    • and the enhancement of “societal resilience and citizen participation.”

    At the heart of the project lies the phrase “defending democracy,” which is critical. This language is used to protect the EU’s geopolitical interests, to portray “rival actors”—primarily Russia—as adversaries, and to legitimize the EU’s foreign-policy tools. How so?

    Because the project documents make clear that the system focuses directly on “foreign disinformation and interference.” Its implementation entails activating crisis protocols, early-warning centers, and international coordination mechanisms. Any alleged “interference” in EU policies can thus easily be used to criminalize left/socialist movements or anti-EU circles.

    In essence, although the official documents emphasize concepts such as “democracy,” “civic participation,” and “free citizens,” the EU is building a new security narrative through the enemies it points to—reshaping domestic politics through a security-based logic.”

    Given that the UK is a leading participant in the so called ‘Coalition of the willing’ champing at the bit to start a 21st century reenactment of the Crimean War and show those Johnny foreigner Russians whose boss, you can safely bet your pension that the Crash Test Dummy currently occupying No. 10 Downing Street will have his paymasters own version up and running in some form or other.

    The bottom line is that both the EU and UK are gearing up for war. Starting on the Home Front. Anyone and everyone not toeing the line is going to be targeted not just for ‘terrorism’ but also sedition and treason.

    Mistakes can be made. ‘Bugs’ occur.
    But they never seem to be made or occur in the accused’s favour, do they.
