Tonight on 7Days (about 7:00 into the video) it was Whaleoil that brought about the un-doing of The Mangrove.
Stuart Nash was doing so well until they asked him about his issue with me. Mangrove squirmed, he wriggled, then denied even knowing who I am…and finally said NO!…Gotcha!
Here is a little reminder for Stuart since he doesn’t know who I am. Sunday News - Blogger ‘a nasty bastard’ says Labour MP – 18 April 2010
Liar.
Gotcha good again.

Good footage of some US soldiers fighting their way out of an ambush. The guy on the grenade launcher certainly has steel balls.
Helen Clark says she was bullied by US envoys.
Oh come on, is this face of some who looks like she could be bullied?
Bully this? Yeah right
Helen Clark is acting like a big sook and squealing like someone upset that her dirty little secrets have been revealed. She should just STFU and go tramping or whatever the hell she is going to do while here. Wikileaks is revealing Labour’s dirty laundry and boy are they upset by it all.
On the plus side every time she opens her gob right now she is putting Kiwis off their Christmas dinners and curdling mothers milk and reminding people just exactly why it was that they tossed labour from the government benches.
To quote Helen Clark when she was confronted with her own bullying in parliament, by John Key… “Diddums”
The latest tragedy of the killing of small child by someone who was supposed to care for her has again highlighted the tragedy that is also Silly First name Syndrome.
Five-year-old Sahara Jayde Baker-Koro was found dead in her bed in Napier early on Tuesday.
A 24-year-old man has been charged with assault in relation to her death, and is likely to face more serious charges in the New Year.
He appeared in the Napier District Court this week, and was granted interim name suppression and remanded in custody until next month.
Sahara lived at the house with her mother, 7-year-old sister and 2-year-old brother.
Police have refused to reveal the 24-year-old’s relationship to the family, or say whether he was living at the house.
Has anyone wondered the irony of the situation where we know the name of the dead victim, but the coward accused of this crime is still afraid of his own name and has continued name suppression. The name suppression can’t be to protect the identity of the victim, she’s dead and her photo is splashed all over the paper. It is a pity that the accused’s photo isn’t splashed all over the internet and newspapers too.
I know it sounds cruel to look at their names but the evidence is over whelming. To my knowledge there hasn’t been a Brian or a Thomas or an Annie or a Catherine bashed to death by their care givers.
There has been a Sahara, Lillybing, Cru, Cris, Cezar, Duwayne, Kash, Hail-Sage, Jayrhis, and Cherishsiliala. The other thing in common that no-one is allowed to say, but this blogger will, is that all of those kids were Maori.
Maybe the French are onto something in having a register of officially acceptable names. For the children above the child abuse really started the moment they were named, and continued until they were dead. Not many made it to 6 years old. In a way you could simply explain it all away by describing the slaughter of Maori young as simply late term abortions for playthings that became annoying and boring for the adults involved. The law draws the line at 23 weeks for abortion, it seems there is an element in society that draws the line at about 6 years old.
Society has an illness, and like an illness you need to treat it. But like an infected foot, you treat the foot not chop off an arm to help the foot and that is where it all goes wrong with society.Society does need to own this problem, but the part of society that so clearly and demonstrably has the problem has to own it more. If we don’t then the slaughter of Maori children will continue.
The truly sad thing is that the previous government, Sue Bradford and even John Key voted for a law that was supposed to “save the kiddies”. Instead of focusing on stopping smacking the government really should have banned Silly First Names, I bet the effects would have been a whole lot more tangible than the failure that is Sue Bradford’s law. There should be a Wall of Shame built in Sue Bradford’s dis-honour and every child bashed to death by “care-givers” should have their name inscribed upon it as a testimony to hand-wringing do-gooder meddling that failed.
Is Whaleoil Citizen A?
Citizen A – 7pm tonight Triangle TV, replayed 8pm Sunday Sky 89 & Freeview 21
Tune in to join Bomber and his revolving panel of bloggers and Auckland opinion shapers as they offer an up-to-date half hour review of the political media issues of the current week from a very Auckland perspective.
THIS WEEK: Selwyn Manning and Cameron Slater…
Issue one: Official Information Act emails between Peter Jackson and Gerry Brownlee clearly state the Actor’s boycott wasn’t the reason Warners Bros were threatening removal of The Hobbit. How easily lead are people by a manufactured crises?
Issue two: Wikileaks Orama – did we go to war for Fonterra? Did Murray McCully lie to Parliament over meeting the Dalai Lama and how good is the free trade deal with America that John Key claimed would be worth billions?
Issue three tonight: Len Brown and his anonymous donors. Is Len looking after Auckland’s interests or wealthy Aucklander’s interests? And why can’t Auckland save historic sites??
Last week I blogged about Len Brown’s Christmas card and three days later the Herald on Sunday has a story about the very same thing. Google Len Brown Christmas Card and see what Google thinks. The Whale on top and The Herald several links down the page.
Yesterday I blogged about Japhet Simiona being hailed as a success story in a school bullying project. I broke that story, I published it first and loe and behold a NZ Herald repeater goes and does a story about the exact same thing. Now this is news and all good that it is exposed, but a little credit where credit is due is in order I think. (Note all the links…that’s how modern media does things)
I’ve lost count of the number of times that I have broken stories and the repeaters ahve follwoed along one, two or even a week later. It would be nice of them to insert a line acknowledging where they heard about it from.
The thing is I know they heard about it from me first, because they all follow my Twitter account and read my Facebook wall. I’m sure as hell not following them on Twitter.
When bloggers use news stories to highlight their opinion they politely provide a link to the source story, it would nice if churnalists and repeaters did the same.
I might have to start billing I think. Either that or the various schools of churnalism start teaching these chumps about ethics, how to google, how to link to sources and other useful topics instead of them sitting on Facebook and Twitter hoping a story will land in their lap.
UPDATE: Just had an email from Jared Savage…he has said that he got the story from other sources…and that he was going to email me last night because he knew I would do a post like this lol… Good on Jared for emailing me.
