Disgraced Santoro quits the Senate

Australian journalist reveals anti-jihad blogger’s identity to Muslim community
I’ve never met the man behind SHEIK YER’MAMI face-to-face, but he’s a compatriot of mine from the Jihad Watch comments forums which have given rise to many would-be defenders of Western Civilization in recent years, myself included. So, when the Sheik informed me that he’d been outed from behind his pseudonym by a deceitful Australian journalist, I took notice. After all, I myself maintain my anonymity as a closely-guarded secret because I’m all-too-aware that defying so many Islamic cultists can have tragic consequences. One might hope that followers of the Religion of Peace® might let me live for ridiculing their ‘Prophet’ and stomping on the Qur’an, but alas, this is not the case.
And reporter Gavin King of the Cairns Post can not pretend to not understand this dire point or he might as well turn in his Press Pass today.
Sheik Yer’Mami provided me with the following email he received from Mr. King, which is the only reason he agreed to an interview in the first place:

Conversation: Inquiry from the Cairns Post
Subject: Inquiry from the Cairns PostHi there, we’re interested in writing a story about your website and the proposal to build a mosque in Cairns. Can you please contact me with a phone number to discuss. Your name can remain anonymous in the article if this suits.
Cheers, Gavin.
“Your name can remain anonymous in the article if this suits.” So much for that promise. This turns out to be nothing short of a journalistic hit-job.
If you read through the type in the scanned newspaper article above, you will clearly see that Gavin King names Sheik Yer’Mami, attempts to paint him as some hysterical inciter of violence against Muslims and then continues merrily on, all the while having put this blogger’s life and the lives of those close to him in jeopardy…
What a scumbag this Gavin King twerp is. Click the link for screenshots of Gavin’s top-of-the-page bragging exposé.

Mohamed Hadfi, 31, tore out his 23-year-old wife Samira Bari’s eyes following a heated argument in their apartment in the southern French city of Nimes in July 2003 after she refused to have sex with him.
His lawyer Jean-Pierre Cabanes meanwhile insisted there were extenuating circumstances.
Theirs was an arranged marriage.

- A KRudd government is very likely at this stage. Suggest people act quickly in the days following his election to reduce their personal debt, store up on essentials and take whatever steps are necessary to insulate themselves from the inevitable. Rudd follows in the tradition of Whitlam and keating, PMs who seriously believed that they were gods who could do no wrong.
So what will happen post-KRudd? being a god, he will expect other world leaders to acknowledge his divinity. He is likely destroy the US-Australia alliance because Bush worships a false god, the one mentioned in the Bible. Gillard will unleash the unions to recover all they have perceived to have lost under Howard … and Hawke. At least the coal industry is safe for now but Garrett will get second prize. he will be able to spend billions of dollars on hare-brained schemes that strip the budget of its surplus and ultimately drive the country deeper into debt again.
The worst consequence of a Krudd regime will be the recession. This one will be a killer because the states are now totally dependent on GST and state duty. These taxes are directly linked to economy. If it slows down, so does the revenue stream and it happens immediately. Income and company taxes are much slower to adjust adjust. The states will be left with just two choices – borrow like crazy or lift the rate of GST. From then on it will be a rapid downward spiral to Keating’s banana republic.
Krudd won’t see it coming. Divinities are above the pain and suffering of mortals, as we saw in the Whitlam era.
- #40 – And you’re only being serious…
In happier news, we will have a PM who can order from a Chinese menu without having to point at the pictures.

- Laura Tingle on Ruddio National with Phatty said that infighting of the QLD Liberals had brought about Santoro’s exposure; it was payback for the ‘printing costs’ expose …
They were also speculating as to whether formerly unwinnable seats could now be won by Labor, following recent polling (unspecified*) indicating that younger voters prefer Howard & older voters prefer KRudd …
Pinning a lot of hope on polls …
*Info for Phatty’s fact-free-zone: Ipsos Mackay Report a month ago.
The “poll” was of focus groups, run for Ipsos Mackay.
According to Andrew Lee, Social Policy Anaylsis & Evaluation Centre ANU, focus group polls are skewed and unreliable electoral predictors.
- As KRudd is busy distancing himself from Latham, e.g. reiterating the Private School funding policy … which Bomber had already announced … the best Lib attack is to paint KRudd as another Latham, with whatever policies and traits they still have in common; Gillard could be the weak link to attack … it’s the swinging voters in key seats that will determine the election outcome.
- #30- yeah heard that- the stench of triumphalism at the ABC is getting sickening.
They’re not just counting their chickens before they’re hatched- they’ve put the oven on,opened the chardonnay and sent out the dinner party invites.
Take comfort in the fact that Laura Tingle is probably the most clueless political analyst in the country. (possibly the reason Phatty got her to replace Margo)
In the same spot on Phatty’s show back in 2004, just days before the election, she predicted an unstoppable Latham landslide ‘cos we were ‘all so excited’
And as for Christian Cur….

- I’m still offering bets on the Attack Squirrel geting his flabby arse on the treasury benches- Sportingbet has it at even money, I’m offering 6-4 on Labor. Any takers? none of the pinkos I know will touch it.
Polls have proven to be utter bollocks in the last three federal elections- Howard was down the dunny for all money last time, and picked up seats and the senate. Santoro will be long forgotten by the end of the year, and as long as the feral imbeciles in the Qld branch shut the fuck up in the mean-time, interest and unemployment rates stay low and there’s a swag of tax cuts* in the budget Kevvie’ll be lucky to retain the leadership; I know the ALP all too well, and they cannibalise failed leaders. Ditto for Woody Woodpecker, who is widely loathed outside the Victorian left.
*No doubt accompanied by another swag of welfare and other benefits for geezers, to lure the coffin-dodger vote back; they’re usually Liberal voters anyway (except for a few old welded-on Labotites), which further indicates to me the paucity of accurate polls.

- #38 addendum- I failed to take into account the demographic shift in old farts, with many of the ubiquitous, selfish and whiny Baby Boomer generation heading towards incontinence, Alzheimers and driving Toyota Camrys at 80kph in the fast lane.
They’re the sort of self absorbed dolts who believe in Goreball Wampuming and buy Michael Moore DVDs as documentaries- unfortunately due to improved healthcare not many of the vacuous sods are likely to vapour-lock in the meantime, so they’ll be a factor in the election; after all, they’re the same stupid turds who elected Gough, and are probably relishing a return to those unlamented days, seeing as they no longer have mortgages or jobs, and can benefit from the sort of idiot largesse that is inevitable under a federal Labor government with unlimited power to gouge.

I do have 1 small defence for the WA libs. Have you noticed during the Burke fiasco how many of his lackies seemed to be middle, or higher ranking public servants? That was no coincidence, his entire political and lobbying career has been formed on the back of political appointments. He owns large chunks of the public service in WA.
Now imagine you are the WA Libs having to run costings, policies, and day to day business through that same public service.
I speak only for WA but I imagine a similar job has been done of corrupting the civil service in each state.
Its pretty easy to make you opponents look foolish if “mistakes” can be put into budgets, policies leaked and the governing party allready has your costings and policies.Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2007 03 21 at 12:32 AM • permalink

In NSW much the same has happened with 12 years of Labor
One case – the poor nurses who went to the media about the deaths (avoidable) at Campbelltown Hospital
These brave women were harassed and threatened by the then Health Minister Craig Knowles as well as the usual bureaucrats working in NSWHealth, and lost their jobs of course

The adults then parked next to a market in the Adamiya area of Baghdad, abandoned the vehicle and detonated it with the children still inside

- Brett_McS, gotta agree with you. The Liberals paying off the Federal debt and accumulating a surplus, will be just be the mother_of_all_cookie_jars if Labour gets in.
However, there will be several years of inflationary boom, until we get a Keatingesque ‘Recession we had to have’. Lets hope it’s not the ‘Depression we are due for’.

Too late allready been done. Guess where?

“The child suicide bomber in the above attack, 11-year-old Muhammad Saleh, is considered a hero by fellow child insurgents. The man who says he trained him did not want to be named. He said he has trained 22 children, between the ages of 7 and 12, to be suicide bombers or militants.”More of Mikey Moores minutemen?? he must be so proud.

- Motl’s blog has been red hot. I think we have a running mate for Howard if we could get overcome this whole, have to be born in the US thing for President.
- The attack on Howard is relentless. Tomorrow’s Paul Zanetti syndicated cartoon has Wyle E Coyote labelled Libs hurt by his own box of “dirty tricks” while roadrunner, labelled Labor, speeds away carrying a sign “think positive”. It’s not the “dirty tricks” that is the problem, it is the “think positive”. Zanetti has made his cartoon an fawning advertisement for Labor, which is not the role of a political cartoonist.
Zanetti, sadly, is widely syndicated in rural newspapers. I say sadly because Zanetti’s cartoons are generally awful, rarely funny or clever and often just totally pathetic efforts. He had one this past week with Pauline Hansen and John Howard in bed together. It was topical apparently because of the Hansen/Oldfield sex claims but where Howard fitted into this story is a mystery. Strongely suspect it was just a very, very old zanetti from the One Nation era, c.1998, with some new words and colour added. Would have saved Zanetti drawing something new that day, the lazy sod.

No truer words said! Our Prime Minister tonight in Canberra:
“What Iraq and her people need now is time, not a timetable. They seek our patience, not political positioning. They require our resolve, not our retreat.”
“The long war against violent Islamic extremism goes on. It is a very different kind of war – a war without borders and with no clear frontlines; a war fought as much by our ideas and values as by our armies. Terrorist cells are active today in between 30 and 40 countries plotting action based on a warped interpretation of Islam. Attacks have been planned in Australia.”
“Now it seems we are being told by the Opposition that the southern provinces of Iraq are not dangerous enough to justify Australia’s presence. If it’s bad our troops shouldn’t be there. If it’s good our troops shouldn’t be there. When has a political party made so many worthless speeches about internationalism and ‘good international citizenship’ and done so little to support it?”
Damn right!

My initial suspicions about Woolmer’s death are looking more and more likely…
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21421169-2,00.html
He was poisoned – either self inflicted – intentionally or unintentionally – or by someone else. People don’t froth blood, vomit and shit themselves if they have a heart attack.
I reckon he was murdered.
There’s a good reason that Wasim Akram didn’t go back to Pakistan for 6 months after the ‘99 World Cup loss to Australia.
