The objective of this blog is...Dear Anonymous 8.53<br /><br />The objective of this blog is not to destroy anyone's career. Right from the outset it has been to do all I could to secure for David Fletcher his right, under Cambodian law,to a fair trial. Yes, it has grown from that initial basic premise and it does seem, on the basis of a mass of evidence, that there are a few 'careers' that should, in the interests of justice, be 'ruined'. I am referring to those who exploit the poverty of the Cambodian people and the judicial system to achieve their own goals - monetary gain.<br /><br />On the question of 'fabricating evidence', how would you describe the process whereby a young woman who insists that she was not raped and who remained a virgin despite the alleged rapes is presented as the key witness for the prosecution in a rape case? What words do you use to describe the process whereby the NGO so determined NOT to see David Fletcher get a fair trial, arranges for this key witness to be spirited out of Cambodia, to China, so that she is not available for cross-examination in court and is not available to speak with the media about the rapes that did not occur?<br /><br />Yes, to those who are being exposed as frauds, liars and criminals, I have no doubt I am a nuisance. This is true for any journalist, blogger or filmmaker who shines some light on the activities of corrupt individuals and institutions that prefer to be able to practice their dark nefarious arts as far removed as possible from public scrutiny.<br /><br />As for my film career, I am working on more film projects than I have time for.

Google kept the 1 just to see what ip adress (computer / iphone) would click on it so they can identify the interest in the "real darnaudet" because there is another one by the same name who is engaged in sports and music but has nothing to do with the one representing Aple.<br /><br />Most people lack the awareness of what's going on around them, for good reasons. If they did know, they would know that they had good reasons to feel paranoid. Therefore it's difficult to find anyone that would listen to the aple - david fletcher - ngo stories. People don't even want to think about children and them.

Th...I checked out this website and can only laugh!<br /><br />The notion that anyone would go to so much trouble to discredit strikes me as being the stuff of fiction. On the other hand, who knows in this new digital age – a world that I don’t pretend to understand all that well!<br /><br />Some strange things happen from time to time on this blog (comments and entire blog entries disappearing) and it has seemed to me at times that someone was responsible. On reflection, however, I decided that it must be just one of those ‘shit happens’ occurrences that occur online.<br /><br />On further reflection, however, I do wonder…<br /><br />For instance, take the list of things that this website describes as possible ways of discrediting a blogger:<br /><br />“Set up a honey trap”<br /><br />There was a time, a few months back when I started advocating David Fletcher’s right to a fair trial, when I had several young Cambodian women wanting to be my ‘friend’. There were a few that were, supposedly, ‘friends’ of Facebook friends of mine so I said ‘yes’ to their wanting to be my ‘friend’ without really thinking. <br /><br />At first, at least. After acquiring a few such ‘friends’ I stopped. The few that I had allowed as ‘friends’ tried to chat with me but I was quite curt with them – as would be apparent to anyone who had hacked into my Facebook account and was following my dialogues. <br /><br />So, was there a half-hearted attempt to set me up in a honey trap? I have no idea but it is odd that a few young women (late teens by their photos) should suddenly want to be ‘friends’ with me. And now, not!<br /><br />“Change their photos on social networking sites”<br /><br />To the best of my knowledge no photos I have posted have been changed but here is a strange thing:<br /><br />Facebook will not allow me to post a blog entry that has a photo of Thierry Darnaudet in it! <br /><br />I thought that this was just one of those ‘shit happens’ things but, after 3 days of trying, I am now wondering if it is possible for Darnaudet (or anyone else) to notify Facebook or Google or any other site NOT to allow photos of themselves to be published? <br /><br />If it is possible, it must cost money. I wonder how much?<br /><br />If anyone knows the answer to this question, please let me know. I am a self-confessed Luddite when it comes to the internet; what is possible and what is not possible.<br /><br />“Write a blog purporting to be one of their victims”<br /><br />Hasn’t happened to the best of my knowledge.<br /><br />“Email/text their colleagues, neighbours, friends etc.”<br /><br />Hasn’t happened to the best of my knowledge.<br />James Ricketsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366597246927581660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765692865810414575.post-16627720994122943812015-04-02T21:06:30.920-07:002015-04-02T21:06:30.920-07:00James, I looks like maybe you've made APLE...James, I looks like maybe you've made APLE's list after all!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765692865810414575.post-71896675488068309052015-04-02T18:02:07.124-07:002015-04-02T18:02:07.124-07:00According to the whisper on the grape vine Thierry...According to the whisper on the grape vine Thierry Darnaudet and Samleang Seila with some Help of the US Government Agency ICE are preparing to destroy your reputation mr. ricketson.<br /><br />What you may face if the allegations are true is something like this:<br /><br />http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-02-24/conspiracy-theory-true-agents-infiltrate-websites-intending-manipulate-deceive-and-d<br /><br />perhaps one should be prepared with equally artistic constructions of truth ?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765692865810414575.post-74199428031653159842015-04-02T00:18:03.103-07:002015-04-02T00:18:03.103-07:00Dear Anonymous 12.04

He is...Mr Fletcher is no longer in danger of dying. He is not well, however, and remains in hospital.<br /><br />The British Embassy in Cambodia is taking no interest at all in his well-being.<br /><br />I am trying, through direct appeals to the Minister of Justice, to secure the earliest possible trial for Mr Fletcher. My latest letter to the Minister:<br /><br /><br />Mr Ang Vong Vathana <br />Minister of Justice <br />Samdech Sothearos Road<br />Sangkat Chaktomouk<br />Daun Penh<br /><br />1st April 2015<br /><br />Dear Mr Ang Vong Vathana <br /><br />re David John Fletcher<br /><br />Contrary to the doctors’ expectations, David Fletcher is not going to die. At least not in the near future.<br /><br />However, Mr Fletcher does have a serious pulmonary infection that requires treatment in hospital. It may be tuberculosis. The doctors are not sure just now.<br /><br />It is not appropriate that a sick 70 year old man be returned to jail, where there will be no proper treatment available to him – especially not a man who, on the basis of the evidence available, cannot possibly be guilty of the crime he has been charged with - rape.<br /><br />I would like to suggest that Mr Fletcher be released on bail and allowed to receive the treatment he requires to be returned to full health.<br /><br />I will post the bail for Mr Fletcher. I know him to be an honourable man who will not breach whatever bail conditions are imposed on him. I do not have any fear at all that I will, as a result of a breach, lose my bail money. <br /><br />Mr Fletcher is determined to prove his innocence in a properly constituted court of law – on the basis of the clear evidence of his innocence. If Action Pour les Enfants, CEOP, SISHA, the British Embassy or Naly Pilorge of LICADHO have evidence of Mr Fletcher’s guilt let them present it to the court.<br /><br />Given that Mr Fletcher has been provided none of the legal rights due to him in accordance with the Cambodian Code of Criminal Procedure and has, as a result, spent close to five years in jail without once being interviewed by police or an investigating judge, without being able to present any defense in court, I believe that his release on bail is the only just path open to the Cambodian judiciary.<br /><br />yours sincerely<br /><br />James Ricketson<br />James Ricketsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366597246927581660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3765692865810414575.post-88924538985533262482015-04-01T07:10:28.843-07:002015-04-01T07:10:28.843-07:00Your figures are indeed baseless and highly incorr...Your figures are indeed baseless and highly incorrect.<br /><br />From various sources we can say that APLE's annual budget is between $450.000 and $600.000.<br /><br />The reason why APLE was almost forced to shut down some offices was because of an unexpected cutoff of funding from main sponsor Terre des Hommes Netherlands. This was a result of the fact that Terre des Hommes themselves were enduring a major cutoff of funding from the Dutch government during the financial crisis in Europe. Terre des Hommes was later able to obtain funds from other sources and continued funding APLE Cambodia and is now even able to expand APLE's dubious concept to 4 other countries under the name Project WATCH.<br /><br />On the other hand, attempts to open activities in Battambang failed more than once and according to APLE as a result of a lack of funds. In realilty, the attempts to open a Battambang branch failed because the Provincial Court didn't accept any cases from APLE anymore after the court had been lied to by APLE too many times. Now their recently reopened Battambang branch only does 'Awareness Sessions'.<br /><br />Please check your facts and stick to the facts.

Former APLE country directors Kahterine Kaene and Hang Vibol both knew about it. They both resigned because they couldn't live with the lies they were ordered to sell by Darnaudet.<br /><br />Current country director Seila Samleang doesn't seem to have any problems with lies, because at the end it's all for the Good Cause . . . His own personal career ! ! ! Seila Samleang is the type of Khmer that loves The Abroad Opportunities. He loves to takes selfies in front of the UN building in New York or at a meeting with some very important people.

The NGO is now fully owned by Seila Samleang. Owned, you say?? Yes, owned! In Cambodia an NGO has an owner! Of course you can appoint a few nephews and nieces as members of the Board of Directors, but they cannot vote you out, while you as founder/president can fire them all ! ! !
