[imc-scotland-discussion] imc-scotland-discussion Digest, Vol 35, Issue 10

[David Moncur]

Regarding the George Edalji case, have expressed
considerable interest in this.

First off, in 1980 a woman called Linda Howe made a
film called "A Strange Harvest", won an Emmy award for
it, and caused many authorities in Washington to look
visibly disturbed, military and such like. She
suggested mutilations of livestock in America were
possibly carried out by extra-terrestrial life-forms.
<Linda Howe + livestock mutilations> into a search
engine to learn of this if you want.....

George Edalji could hardly see at all, when Arthur
Conan Doyle visited him in jail in 1906, he was
wearing very thick spectacles and still needing to
hold a newspaper up to his face in order to read
it.....the accusation by the British that he had been
mutilating horses (at night) in a delinquent manner
this was a qualified lawyer
rather than the more logical charge of maybe kids
mucking around
this extraordinary exhibition of racialism occurred


Especially if you know already about the livestock
mutilation syndrome via its main investigator, Linda
Howe (website: www.earthfiles.com),
originally a campaigner against environmental damage,
the trial & imprisonment of George Edalji in 1906 is a
very strange story indeed

The police of Staffordshire will supply photos of
mutilated horses, with their bellies slashed, but it's
such a strange story I wondered if the British upper
class simply decided to go out and slash some, in
order to destroy and deflect attention from something
similar to what Linda Howe discovered

Will try to acquire that book by Gordon Weaver
