Lord High Commander of Upper Broughton and Gunthor
J\'Accuse..........
Sir,
Would you allow me, grateful as I am for the kind reception you once extended to me, to show my concern about maintaining your well-deserved prestige and to point out that your star which, until now, has shone so brightly, risks being dimmed by the most shameful and indelible of stains?
Unscathed by vile slander, you have won the hearts of all. You are radiant in the patriotic glory of our country.
But what filth this wretched Raggie Rant affair has cast on your name.
As they have dared, so shall I dare. Dare to tell the truth, for I have pledged to tell the full and complete truth if the normal channels of justice failed to do so. My duty is to speak out; I do not wish to be complicit. My nights would otherwise be haunted by the spectre of the innocent sailor, far away, suffering the most horrible of tortures for a crime he did not commit.
And it is to you, Sir, that I shall proclaim this truth, with all the force born of the revulsion of an honest man. Knowing your integrity, I am convinced that you are unaware of the truth.
First of all, the truth about Raggies trial and conviction:
The ringleader behind it all is one evil man, Lt Colonel Catastrophe, who was at that point just a Major. He is the entire Raggie case, and will not all come to light until an honest enquiry firmly establishes his actions and responsibilities. He appears to be the shadiest and most complex of figures, spinning outlandish intrigues, indulging in the sort of thing one sees in cheap thriller novels: stolen documents, anonymous letters, meetings in deserted locations, mysterious women scuttling around at night, peddling damning evidence.
He was the one who came up with the scheme of dictating "I read most of the anti stinkie posts on here, mostly made by holier than thou hypocrites" he was the one who dreamt up the idea of studying the raggie with his magical photographic instrument. And he was the one that virtually admits he ignores Rule 26 by passing off a weak joke. I need not say all: seek more and ye shall find. I am simply stating that Major Catastrophe, as the officer of justice charged with the preliminary investigation of the Raggie case, is — chronologically and in terms of responsibility — the prime culprit in the horrid miscarriage of justice that has been committed, and is himself a hypocrite.
I repeat with the most vehement conviction: truth is on the march, and nothing shall stop it. Today is only the beginning for this case, since it is only today that the positions have been made clear: on one side, the guilty parties, who do not want the light to shine forth, on the other, those who seek justice and who will give their lives to see that light shine. I have said it elsewhere and I repeat it now: when truth is buried underground, it builds up and acquires an explosive force that is destined to blast everything away with it. We shall see whether we have set ourselves up for the most resounding of disasters, yet to come.
But this letter is long, Sir, and it is time to conclude it.
I accuse Lt Col Catastrophe of being the diabolical creator of this miscarriage of justice — unwittingly, I would like to believe — and of defending this sorry deed, over the last hour or so, by all manner of ludricrous and evil machinations.
In making these accusations I am aware that I am making myself liable to the evil Machinations of the North Wales Posse. I expose myself to that risk voluntarily.
As for the person I am accusing, I do not know him, I have never seen him, and I bear him neither ill will nor hatred. To me he is a mere entity, agent of harm to society. The action I am taking is no more than a radical measure to hasten the explosion of truth and justice.
I have but one passion: to enlighten those who have been kept in the dark, in the name of humanity which has suffered so much and is entitled to happiness. My fiery protest is simply the cry of my very soul. Let them dare, then, to bring me before a court of law and let the enquiry take place in broad daylight! I am waiting.
With my deepest respect, Sir.
