More information for Paul Gillespie
As Paul Gillespie, the scourge of child porn subscribers in Canada, has not
replied to our attempts to identify a certain credit card owner on the
Landslide subscriber database, we now supply him with further information.
Let us quote journalist Kim Bradley of the Toronto Sun eulogising Detective
Sergeant Paul Gillespie on his departure from the position of 'top Toronto
police child porn cop' into his new KINSA (Kids Internet Safety Association)
in June 2006.
"Calls from well-wishers with praise for retiring Toronto Police child porn
cop Det.-Sgt. Paul Gillespie poured in from around the globe as news spread
of his departure. From the Toronto police chief to politicians and child
advocates, everyone had kind words for the 27-year veteran who handed in his
badge Thursday."
She went on to quote Toronto police chief Bill Blair saying that Gillespie
'leaves behind a legacy through his amazing team who will continue his good
work'.
And: "He's led the country and even the world in an effort to reduce child
exploitation and rescue children." From the UK, child activist, John Carr,
added his own praises.
Ray Smith from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, one of the chief
witnesses in the original Landslide project, praised Gillespie as 'very
aggressive' and who 'did a lot for the protection of children'. Smith is now
under scrutiny for giving false evidence.
Really profuse was the praise from Liberal MP Dan McTeague: "This man
deserves the Order of Canada. I can think of very few people in our time who
have accomplished more for the next generation of Canadians. This is a
defender of those who had no voice."
Paul Gillespie was a merciless pursuer of Landslide child porn user suspects
in his role as the acknowledged leader of Operation Snowball, Canada's
Operation Ore. Not too unhappy to see him depart were those unfortunates
wrongly named in the releases that he and his team made to the media, some
of whom committed suicide, such as the unfortunate James LeCraw.
Now we want to add our own special message to the recently departed Paul
Gillespie.
Paul Gillespie, we have been reading your pleas for more resources and your
warnings that names on the list supplied by the FBI to the Canadian
authorities, especially some of the many in Ontario, and Toronto in
particular, could slip through the net and get away with it.
If you read our Landslide news stories here on this web site, you will know
that our team has acquired the Landslide US FBI/prosecution files including
the Landslide subscriber database.
Vis a vis names on the Toronto list, is there anything you might want to
discuss with us?
Will we have to spell this out?
No answer from you yet, Paul Gillespie. Pity because it's a child protection
question and we assumed that was the business you were still in.
Here is our problem. We have a name whose credit card was associated with
alleged child porn transactions, which you would have known all about as you
used the same list in the campaign through which you earned your fame. Well,
this is a name which would be very familiar to you, but let us spell out why
we need your help to check it out.
It could be fraud, a stolen identity or simple fraud. It could also be
someone other than the well-known person it suggests. Both of these however
give rise to problems. You and the other police authorities in the US and UK
have claimed that there was little or no fraud and therefore the many who
were raided and had their lives ruined, including those who committed
suicide, were guilty except for one well known mistake in Canada.
Now this really causes us all problems. If there was little or no fraud,
what do we make of this name? If in the defence of this name we admit to
fraud, what about all the convictions you achieved and the fear and dread
you gave rise to? Could some of them also not have been victims of fraud?
Paul Gillespie, we have a problem here and it's not going to go away. We
have the name, address and credit card and transaction details.
Why not help us check it out?
Latest information
As it is now March 2007 and we still have not heard from you, this further
information may help you.
The Landslide subscriber database records that there were three attempts to
access and join the porn site XES on 24 June 1999. The times were:
Thu, 24 Jun 1999 00:25:47 UTC
Thu, 24 Jun 1999 00:55:47 UTC
Thu, 24 Jun 1999 01:15:30 UTC
The Usernames were pg255, pg256 and pg257 the password to all of them was
'beatle'. Perhaps the letters PG are known to you. The email used (changed
for the moment here) was xxxx...@interlog.com/. The MasterCard used was
5191 2300 4137 4233 Exp: 12/99 (With exception to the last attempt, 11/99.
Hungary IP used.)
IPs used:
209.20.1.59 - Canada - Ontario - Toronto - Telus Communications Inc.
209.20.1.175 - Canada - Ontario - Toronto - Telus Communications Inc.
145.236.210.153 - Hungary - Budapest - Budapest - Hungarian
Telecommunications Company Limited.
As the FBI did not raid Landslide until the 8th of August 1999, the above
transaction records could not have been part of any official investigation,
especially as they are attributed to someone living outside the US.
Paul Gillespie, can you please help us clear this up? We also have the
address of the house in Toronto used at the time of the credit card
transaction if that helps identify the owner.
