American Green Beret Vet TED MAHER Held HOSTAGE by Monaco for 629 Days (Thread 10)
Family, work associates, friends, news reports ^ | October 8, 2001 | Nita Nupress, Phil Dragoo

Ted Maher -- former Special Forces; Neonatal Intensive Care nurse

American Green Beret veteran and accomplished neonatal nurse Ted Maher has now been held 537 days without trial in Monaco's prison on trumped-up and false charges -- charges of causing the deaths of billionaire banker Edmond Safra and Ted's fellow nurse, Vivian Torrente on December 3, 1999. In truth, Ted fought valiantly against two armed, masked intruders to defend Edmond and Vivian and save their lives. During the struggle, Ted suffered severe knife wounds that required one hundred staples to close.

Billionaire banker Edmond Safra was cooperating with the FBI, who was investigating the IMF/Russian loans. Needing a convenient scapegoat for the murder of Safra, Monaco police subjected Ted to three days of grueling torture designed to extort a false confession from him. (see description in "BASIC TIMELINE" in Thread 1 - http://206.112.97.70/forum/a3ad8b097272d.htm ).

Monaco continues to hold Ted incommunicado, preventing him from sending or receiving mail. In fact, they restrict his communication with his family to one telephone call a week. This call is only allowed to last a few minutes and is always monitored closely to prevent any discussion of the case. Ted is forced by his jailers to take a psychotropic medication and is regularly "interrogated" by the Monaco judge -- Patricia Richet. Reports have been received that Judge Richet is a violent person who has displayed unstable behavior in the past. She allegedly has a history of assaulting a fellow judge, putting him in the hospital for a week. She also tears up letters from Ted's children in front of Ted rather than let him read them.

Hundreds of family, friends, work associates, parents of patients, and Army veterans who served with Ted have vouched for him as being a loyal husband, loving father, and an exemplary professional of great skill and compassion. Ted has also been defended by then-chairman of the House International Relations Committee Ben Gilman and Ted's congresswoman Sue Kelly, who have written Prince Rainier III of Monaco on Ted's behalf. Monaco has no evidence of any crime by Ted; they have no witnesses and no credible case against him. Even worse, Monaco has planted false evidence and suppressed vast amounts of exculpatory evidence -- even passing a special Monaco law that enables them to hold Ted four years without trial.

The Geneva prosecutor has said that Safra was killed for his cooperation with the FBI regarding the laundering through Safra's Republic National Bank of $4.8 billion in IMF loans to Russia.

Regardless of the reason "why," it is obvious that Ted Maher is a scapegoat for a murder by others. We are working to obtain his release and to correct the grave injustice being done to an American Green beret veteran and medical professional.

Ted Maher -- a giver of life, not a taker -- needs our help.

Two Years On--Curiouser and Curiouser

Earlier it was noted that the priest had written Sue Kelly an odd--a highly suspicious--letter in which he denied that Ted had ever been denied a priest.

Subsequent correspondence ostensibly from this priest has gone right off the boards. From the odd linguistics, we picture his head spinning three-sixty and expect sulfurous projectile vomit at every hour.

Either the priest's emails have been intercepted, or the priest has been made an offer he cannot refuse.

A computer virus was attached to an emailed document concerning the Free Ted Maher Concert. It was detected by the appropriate anti-virus software and no damage was done. The occurence is noted.

The current Dunne diary entry regarding the case as posted above affirms the flight of the Prince on the occasion of the murderous assault two years ago.

This blasts the official coverup for the hoax it is. The intruders were as real as the royal helicopter getting the hell out of Dodge. The hoax is as phoney as a three-franc chip.

Indeed, a "slam-dunk" case against the tiresome device of the "lone nut" does not require two years without trial (736 days today); does not require "possessing" the sympathetic priest to make him speak in tongues; does not require the fleeing Prince to conceal his flight.

We know that Ted Maher is innocent--

So let's get freeing him to the top of Colin Powell's to-do list.

LAW AND ORDER - SOUND FAMILIAR TO EDMOND SAFRA?

ENEMY WITHIN 12/09/01

HIGH-RISE ARSON FIRE DRAWS SUSPECTS LIKE MOTHS TO A FLAME -- When an arson fire kills an internationally renowned banker (guest star George Martin) in his imposing new high rise, Detectives Goren (Vincent D'Onofrio) and Eames (Kathryn Erbe) probe the victim's dysfunctional family, including his young trophy wife (guest star Laila Robins) and failure-prone son (guest star David Aaron Baker) -- both of whom had reasons to want the older man dead. As they begin to stitch together a case, the cops find a piece of tawdry evidence in a bank vault that points them in a new direction. Jamey Sheridan and Courtney B. Vance also star.

The total terror war advocated by Beijing includes the usage of color of law and political demagoguery (in addition to suicide airliners) to the subvert the rights of people. We are seeing the face of evil, demagoguic evil, obtaining political power by killing or jailing those who could speak out against the criminals that prosecute this war.

Ted is waging his side of a great battle that is forming as the face of evil becomes clearer by the day as it can no longer hide behind free speech or regulations, the subversion and conspiracy on the rights of free people all too obvious.

God is not there to help us in particular, because we have political capital and we are expected to fight back by any which way we can, God is here to protect the muredered dead who cannot vote, the sick who cannot speak, the unfairly jailed who cannot defend themselves and the children who are abused and do not know it because of their innocent imperfections.

May God indeed avenge His children and guide His sheeps to battle. Only God can do that, and I believe He did it before. Time is approaching, they have been waiting for long, bleeding. Amen.

We are seeing the face of evil, demagoguic evil, obtaining political power by killing or jailing those who could speak out against the criminals that prosecute this war.

Indeed, lavaroise, "those who could speak out against the criminals" are killed or jailed.

The Geneva chief prosecutor said Edmond Safra was killed for cooperating with the FBI regarding the laundering through Safra's Republic Bank of $4.8 billion in IMF loans to Russia.

Ted, the hero who defended Safra from what Henry Kissinger called a "vindictive act", was then jailed to prevent him from speaking out as to the criminals responsible.

As you say, God fights for the killed and jailed, and as JFK said, "On earth God's work must truly be our own."

I saw the Law And Order episode. Though I'm not familliar with the intricate details of Ted's case perhaps the show will add some intrest to the cause for some who may be only partially famillair with the situation.
