<< CONSCIENCE MARCHES ~ MAIN ~ RESULTS IN ON ALTERNATIVE THERAPY >>
AL-QUEENSLANDER
Readers spotted firearms training indicators in the behaviour of Crazy Eyes, the Australian-voiced loon whose video was broadcast this week—and they may have been right:
Former army private Mathew Stewart has emerged as the chief suspect in the hunt for the masked terrorist with an Australian accent.
Stewart left home four years ago to fight alongside Osama bin Laden and has not been seen since.
Australian Federal Police officers immediately identified Stewart as the probable hooded figure who appeared in a terror video aired on Arab TV this week.
They questioned his distraught mother Vicki Stewart who - after looking at a still image from the video - denied the heavily armed man was her missing son.
But one of Stewart’s close friends, Adam Miechel, said he believed the self-declared terrorist on the video was the man he grew up with in Mooloolaba, on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.
Stewart lost his mind after serving in East Timor.
Attorney-General Philip Ruddock today dismissed as media speculation reports identifying a balaclava-clad terrorist as missing former soldier Mathew Stewart.
Maybe it’s Martha Stewart. She’s got priors.
So, for the sake of arguement;
Mathew fulfills his Jihadist aspirations by killing many Australians. Somehow he survives the attack himself. Through dedicated campaigning by his supporters on the left he is tried in a civil court.
Will a plea of insanity due to post traumatic stress incurred in East Timor be accepted? If so will he be allowed to regain his sanity in the peace and quiet of a rest home?
What about his victims? Will Mathews campaign team care about them?“The quiet soldier and keen surfer from Queensland’s Sunshine Coast stumbled upon the almost unrecognisable body of a Dutch journalist killed by militia.
Financial Times reporter Sander Thoenes, 30, had been shot in the chest and badly beaten. According to his comrades, Stewart was deeply traumatised by the discovery, his first encounter with death on the front line.” [emphasis added]
So, in answer to that “trauma,” he became just like the people who murdered the reporter.
Sure, that makes sense. Most people would react that way.

Its funny, I do the same thing.
Posted by Harry Buttle on 2005 08 11 at 08:48 PM • permalinkHis traumatic stress in Dili resulted from seeing the Jordanian troops having their way with local boys and goats. He was so impressed by their versatility,he decided there and then to go to Iran to learn more about the Islamic way. He then moved on to Afghanistan where you can meet a better class of goat. Osama promised him that jihadi martyrs are entitled to 72 goats in Paradise, so he signed up with Al-qaeda. The rest is history.
The media embarasses itself by making limp excuses for this behaviour.
How many other soldiers experienced combat related trauma and didn’t resort to extremism.
Its ironic that a supposed exposure to a dead reporter, who in all probability was murdered by a Muslim, was the catalyst for turning him into a Muslim extremist.
Lets hope he runs into some SAS in Afganistan and then we don’t have to worry about him ever again.
Oh the horror! Clearly the little princess had a sheltered life. An idyllic existence on the Sunny Coast, a private education, a mummy that refuses to believe he woould do that, and an infantry battalion that apparently let him down. He saw ONE dead person and that was enough to send him over the edge. Well, stand by for another hundred odd former engineers that pulled bodies by the hundreds out of the streets and sewers after the tsunami. The hundreds of soldiers that had been into Timor in 99, not 3 years after the mission started. The other 2 RAR guys that witnessed the Kibeho massacres. The 1 RAR guys from Somalia. They were based in a place called the city of death, where up to 15000 people were buried in shallow graves by the side of the road and dogs would run down the street with skulls in their mouths. The soldiers that served through Cambodia’s elections in 94, witness to mine victims numbering in the thousands. The numerous individuals posted to UN missions in Kosovo and Bosnia.
What a pretentious little twit. “I saw the horrors. That’s why I want to do the same to the place that raised me and made me the jihadi I am today”
Talk about having issues.The report I read didn’t blame Stewart’s encounter with the dead journalist as the reason he switched sides. It was more a catalyst in a chain of events.
Apparently, his breakdown following the encounter caused the military to discharge him against his will. He felt he was still capable but they saw him as damaged goods and sacked him.
Now he is apparently fighting against Oz to prove that he’s still a competent soldier and to make the Oz military regret it’s decision.
Sort of the way OJ wanted to prove to Nicole that he still loved her and was a good father.
Stewie needs to be put down like a mad dog.
“So, in answer to that “trauma,” he became just like the people who murdered the reporter.”
“Yeah, a trained soldier stumbles across a corpse in a combat zone. THAT’S never happened before…”
What all of you said. What an odd excuse.
And I still reckon he sounds a bit “Bankstown Leb” even if he doesn’t turn out to be “Bankstown Leb.” And if so, how did he pick up the twang? Hanging out with a heap of Bankstown Lebs in the terrorist training camps of Afghanistan? Crikey, I hope not!
And finally, am I the only freakin’ one here who finds it hilarious that he said Palistan instead of Palestine? Or that someone at The Australian wrongly transcribed “honourable sons of Islam” as “animals under Islam” in his little rant?
Sheesh. Give me Daily Kos any day. You humourless bastards.
Posted by H. C. Loads on 2005 08 11 at 10:32 PM • permalinkLittleGreenFootballs stated that the guys who put out that video said he was Irish, and although he certainly has an Aussie accent there’s something of a nasally Belfast twang underlying it.
My guess is he came over to Oz some years ago as a kid no doubt inculcated with the usual Sinn Fein “Most Oppressed People in the World” mindset. Having missed out at playing terrorists back home and feeling guilt ridden about living the good life in Australia he joined up with the usual far left whack jobs you can find on any campus and produced this infantile video.
You know the type, the students who strut around wearing Khafiyas(sp?) to make them look like big bad ass terrorists, ignore him he’s a waste of bandwidth.
Posted by Harry Flashman on 2005 08 11 at 11:50 PM • permalinkI think it is a desperate stunt staged by Queensland Peter Beattie to draw attention away from:
—Hospitals in crisis
—Swift resignations of a number of MPs
—The corruption of Gold Coast City Councillors—Nora
Posted by The Thin Man Returns on 2005 08 12 at 12:09 AM • permalinkLet me see if I’ve got this straight ...
Doug Woods (Wood?) has people murdered right next to him, but his so much as calling the perps ‘arseholes’ means he’s insensitive. This Stewart clown stumbles over a body, and his going all jihadi means he’s too sensitive? Who makes up these rules, anyway, and what kind of drugs are they on?
Though having to spend my life telling people I’m from someplace called Mooloolaba would go a long way toward sending me ‘round the twist.
So exactly what “full horror of live combat” did Stewart experience? None is described, because what the Telegraph describes is not live combat but Stewart’s discovery of a war crime committed by the side he now fights for. (Insert “allegedly” where appropriate.)
And what does the verb “unravelling” mean in the sentence, “the war unravelling in Afghanistan?” Is that some sort of special Aussie usage? Quite odd. Is the Telegraph odd?
how did he pick up the twang? Hanging out with a heap of Bankstown Lebs in the terrorist training camps of Afghanistan
No probably hanging out in the terrorist training camps of Bankstown. Mind you, picking up improbable twangs appears to be common affectation among certain subcultures. Witness, for instance, the reggae fans who start talkin like dey do in Jamaiyyyyyca despite never having been within a thousand miles of the West Indies.

Posted by Astonished on 2005 08 12 at 04:48 AM • permalinkWell Oz could always withdraw his citizenship. The left would have a fit but its what the traiterous bastard deserves.
Posted by Andrew Ian Dodge on 2005 08 12 at 08:44 AM • permalinkOn the news tonight (I think it was sbs), Foreign Minister Downer mentioned that if this loon was caught and he turned out to be Australian, he could be locked up indefinitely without trial since he was operating outside the Geneva Convention. The reporter commented (through gritted teeth) “...just like David Hicks”.
Posted by Art Vandelay on 2005 08 12 at 09:42 AM • permalinkCouldn’t have been much of a digger, taking his master hand off the pistol grip like that. Poor battle discipline
Posted by platey mates on 2005 08 12 at 10:30 AM • permalinkPlatey, taking your master hand off the rifle is OK for the jihad-galahs, provide you are using that hand to gesture with the righteous finger of wrath at the infidel
Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2005 08 13 at 12:29 AM • permalinkMy word yes. It’s the preferred method to gesticulate wildly with your shooting hand whils your non-master hand has a death-grip on the essentially useless forestock.
This part of the Jihadi Marksmanship Principles.
1. Weapon must point naturally at the infidel without physical effort.
2. Position and hold must be firm enough to support the weapon whilst firing wildly into the air.
3. Sight alignment/aiming must not be haram.
4. Shot must be released and then followed through with running away from the evil Americans. Death to the Jews! Allah Akbar!Simple enough for even the dumbest ex-grunt to follow. “As you kill us….” Fucking priceless.
