59 BROTHER WITH PRAYERS! Forget it and stay home. Give your money you are wasting to a good lawyer to speed up Michael’s release. I understand Michael’s situation well. Let us make the best out of it. With your terror stories about the Philippines you will not gain anything. I am willing to help and I am willing to do it on my own expenses as I did in all the cases the accuser of Michael, this sick Irish Priest is involved. Let us do it, but agree, that your damn Mission is the wrong way. We had too much Religion involved in these cases, we do not need more. We need facts and action. More important, we do not need to insult my host country, as you are doing it. Come to your sense and all of us will help. If you are coming with accusations and uncalled prayer rallies, leave us alone. Please agree that my friends and I hear the word first hand over here. Don’t make a commercial gimmick out of your “DEAD MAN ALIVE”. I was sh-t on as our lawyer was too. We are not calling ourselves that cr-p. If I do a work, I do it the legal way and respect the Philippine Law, the Philippine Culture and the Philippine Penal System. This system is not nice and needs review, according to the worldwide standard, which is changing all the time. Please respect in this connection the letter of Alan Atkins. I hope you understood me! Regards Harry E. Joost (A man alive because he understands and respects Philippine Laws, Culture and Mentality) 57 Alan Atkins’ Article From: Alan Atkins Date: Thu, 17 May 2001 16:35:49 +0800 To: David Clarke <david@dclarke49.fsnet.co.uk> Cc: Harry Joost and Ian Sargeant (H.M Consul) Subject: Re: FW: Michael John Clarke-Shay Cullen - Mission to the Philippines This e-mail was published in June’s Issue of Immigration Today Dear David From your many messages, and reading your various publications, you seem a genuinely good person who has a genuine desire to help your brother to “get out of jail free.” I understand that you gave your life to preaching about Jesus, and giving advice to others. Then, David, I hope that you are as good at taking advice as giving it, because I must endorse what Harry Joost is advising you, and beg you to postpone your intended mission to the Philippines. Basically, it can do no good, and only do harm. You see, you are looking at the small picture of your brother Michael and his problems
