Bali BS (broadcasting service) is an anti-corruption, anti-fraud, news, analysis and
commentary site which periodically releases articles about
such matters that impact or are to do with Bali; they also
have an ezine (email article update) service you can subscribe
to. It is also a site you can contact about serious corruption
you are aware of such as fraud, human rights abuse and major
wrong doings in or affecting Bali.
Bali
BS's Web Site
Bali BS tends to deal with serious events such as Indonesian
state sponsored murder, senior Balinese police officer and
judiciary corruption, etc. rather than every day police corruption
such as traffic cops fabricating motoring offences in order
to extort money (unofficial fines without receipts) from tourists;
such lesser law enforcement crime should perhaps be reported
to: Fugly Bali.
BLTF / Bali BS facts;
1) BLTF never used to link to Bali BS because they never
asked BLTF to and because BLTF absolutely does not agree with
their stated mandate for tourists to completely boycott Bali
/ Indonesia. Although the news articles themselves are often
very "on the nail" and endorsed.
2) However, in October 2005 Jack Daniels of PT Bali Discovery
Tours in Sanur filed yet another police complaint against
BLTF's owner, Mark Austin claiming he owns Bali BS and has
libeled the police and himself on that site. Jack Daniels
routinely files false and malicious police complaints against
Mark which have resulted in his civil, human and International
rights being violated by the Indonesian state (including an
official death threat no less), see: Bali
Discovery. Despite the fact the domain registration information
for Bali BS shows it is owned by someone with a valid service
address in Washington DC, USA, not Mark Austin. Of course
lack of evidence and acting outside their jurisdiction does
not stop Bali's notoriously corrupt police from conducting
unlawful investigations especially when it is rumored such
things earn them at least US$500 a time from Jack Daniels.
3) BLTF's owner, Mark Austin, does not own Bali BS. Anyone
that has even half a brain can see on BLTF and his Bali
Discovery warning / report site that he is quite able
and prepared to openly call Bali's police corrupt, so why
would he deny owning Bali BS? Mark makes no secret of the
fact he has and will continue to provide Bali BS with details
/ data of police corruption, as it is clear other people also
have. But providing details of corruption to Bali and BS and
owning it are two separate things. Mr. Austin believes the
only reason Jack Daniels and the police colluded to allege
ownership of Bali BS is to unlawfully extend the period set
by law to either progress or close investigations. You see,
instead of adding this latest complaint by Daniels to the
existing unlawful investigation for criminal libel against
Mark Austin as they should have done, they initiated a new
yet even more unlawful investigation for criminal libel!
4) After the corrupt Balinese police acted as above, BLTF
has decided to respond by actually linking to Bali BS despite
the fact, let this be restated, that BLTF is against a wholesale
Bali tourism boycott as promoted by Bali BS.
