It looks Tracy Watkins is a bit miffed that people talked to me and not to her…

The latest leak, over outgoing chief of staff Stuart Nash’s abrupt departure from Wellington on Thursday, should be what causes Mr Shearer the most sleepless nights. It appeared on right-wing blog Whale Oil within hours of Mr Nash’s departure.

Fairfax had found out purely by chance only an hour or so earlier. The leak to Whale Oil was more deliberate, and according to people in the know, could only have come from either a very tight circle of senior staffers, or one or two very highly placed MPs.

The implications are all bad for Labour. Whale Oil’s Cameron Slater is almost single-mindedly bent on undermining and destabilising the left-wing of politics.

He regularly runs half-baked conspiracy theories and innuendo up the flagpole just to see if he can get the mainstream media running. Why anyone within Labour would give him credence is mystifying.

Interesting, so leaking to her (by mistake)… is better than leaking to me…deliberately?

It is true that I am single-mindedly bent on undermining and destabilizing the left-wing of politics. So Bloody What…at least I am honest about it, unlike the media fan-bois who pretend to be impartial but are far from it.

Those paragraphs just show the professional jealously that an Auckland based blogger, not inside the beltway or even the gallery can gazzump and ruin her story for the next day. Boo hoo, dry your eyes Tracy.

Yesterday I was on The Panel on Pat Brittenden’s Radio Rhema show.

Talking firstly about Rod Petricevic and the sentencing he received today, is Cameron Slater and Sue Bradford. There’s more topics on the agenda today, including euthanasia.

Listen below for The Panel. It was pretty tough for me to be talking about euthanasia at the moment.

I was on Larry Williams’ NewstalkZB show The Huddle with corporate whore Matthew Hooton today at 1740.

I wonder what corporate he billed for that appearance…or for mine as he has no doubt told them that he has my messaging sorted.

Our topics were SkyCity and  Crafar Farms.

Yesterday I was on Radio Rhema and Pat Brittenden’s show.

The show was about:

‘Is John Key’s deal with Sky City unfair?’ – this is the question Cameron Slater from Whale Oil and Craig Heilmann discuss to get the ball rolling on today, followed by much more topics up for debate.

In the NZ Herald this morning there is an article that outlines the union bully boys:

Economic fallout is likely to linger for months from Auckland’s port dispute – but international union leaders say the effect on New Zealand products could have been immeasurably worse.

Visiting International Transport Federation dockers’ division secretary Frank Leys says even without formal bans against Kiwi goods, an enduring stigma would have settled over the New Zealand brand in markets without Friday’s truce in the dispute.

Mr Leys, who lives in Britain, said lamb sold in Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Sainsbury’s, “would have branded as black meat”.

Mr Leys, who represents 400,000 port workers around the world, added: “We would have talked about your wines in Sweden as having a little smell.”

Mr Leys, who came from London to observe the dispute as it headed towards a prolonged lockout of about 300 workers averted only by a threat of Employment Court injunctions, was guarded about the shape of any formal ban.

But he said that as cargo moved around the world, every consignment linked back to Auckland in particular and New Zealand in general, risked being “not treated the right way”.

That is nothing short of economic bullying. But then unions know no better. Have a look at this Facebook page where they  are going to start posting photos of “SCABS”.

And finally there is the Facebook Scab Busters page where they talk about me having a target on between my eyes:

The same page that features this image:

I don’t think there is any doubt that the wharves are going to become a very unsafe place with the return of the racist, sexist, bully boys of the Maritime Union.

Judith Collins isn’t going to take Mallard’s lies lying down. Hse has announced that she is looking at suing him plus another MP as well as a media outlet. I think she should also look at suing Eddie at The Standard for the defamatory post they put up yesterday to sync with Mallard’s, Robertson’s and Little’s attack again me, Simon Lusk and Judith Collins in the house.

ACC Minister Judith Collins is planning legal action against two Labour Party politicians and a media outlet for alleged defamation.

It follows confirmation the Privacy Commission will investigate the email Ms Collins received from former National Party president Michelle Boag which helped end her colleague Nick Smith’s ministerial career.

Ms Collins told Radio Live this morning she was to see a lawyer this morning, regarding legal action for allegedly defamatory comments made outside the House by two Labour Party politicians, and also one media outlet.

She would not name who the MPs or the media outlet are.

Ms Collins denied the move was a ploy to close down debate on the issue, rather she takes her reputation “seriously” and would not allow herself to be defamed.

Confirmation that Privacy Commissioner Marie Shroff will investigate the email’s trail from Ms Boag to an eventual report in the Herald on Sundaycame as Labour claimed Ms Collins, National Party operative Simon Lusk and right-wing blogger Cameron Slater all played a part in the leak.

The Standard’s post is defamatory against me, and also Simon Lusk. I am considering my options. Trevor Mallard has a history of lying and making shit up, this time I feel he is going to regret it. He should just leave parliament. There will be no mercy from me.

Yesterday Duncan Garner is a fit of envy (I think) launched a nasty little attack on me. That post was used by a creepy stalker and Martyn Bradbury (both of whom seem to have a fixation with me) to launch more attacks. They, frankly are water off a ducks back….attacks that are like being gummed by a nana.

No matter. I am not going to address the shark-jumping of a so-called reputable journalist paid a six figure salary by a major network being so incensed over one sentence in a blog post on a blog he claims is read by only “dozens of followers” that he feels the need to write a special post on the 3News website.

In a sense he is right…on the day he posted his attack on me only 3237 dozens read my site. The day before 3633 dozens viewed my site. In any month your care to choose only 46731 dozens view my site. So yeah he is right when he says dozens of followers.

Someone asked me on Facebook what I was going to do about it. I told them that I was going to do nothing. The fact that Duncan Garner, a so-called professional journalist felt the need to post a petulant, nasty  and ill advised post simply means that I am being an effective blogger. I have already won the battle., it needs no more of my attention.

Duncan and I have since had a pleasant conversation about the issue. That conversation will remain between us. I hope he leaves his post up, it serves as a marker for the time Duncan lost his rag to a blogger with only “dozens of followers”.

I was in at Radio Rhema today doing my regular Thursday slot with Pat Brittenden.

When I arrived I was talking to the producer of his show and she played me an audio file of a voicemail message left by Helen Kelly.

In the audio she threatens Radio Rhema with legal action and questions why they continue to use me on their show.

At the end of the message she says if Radio Rhema fails to withdraw their interview with me from yesterday then they would serve papers on the station.

We discussed it in the panel.

So Helen Kelly doesn’t like me telling the truth about the wharfies and so she threatens a christian radio station. That’s like going down to the SPCA and kicking a kitten.

Pat Brittenden isn’t one to be cowed by union bullies, in the show I offered to do a head to head debate with Helen Kelly and called her a coward because I doubted she would accept.

Pat and his producer called Helen Kelly and she refused to a debate with me on Pat’s show.

Bullies and now cowards….no wonder the union wants time off to go shopping with the missus.

UPDATE: Pat Brittenden has posted part of the audio of Helen Kelly’s threats. At the end of the message she clearly said that she would be sending legal letters unless her requests were met.

And Helen Kelly has whinged on Pat’s Facebook page:

Dear Mr Brittenden

I don’t expect to be used by your station in the way you seem intent on doing. I have had a respectful relationship with Rhema and have done many interviews etc. I have asked you to correct a very serious statement made on your Programme about a person who is involved in the Port dispute and to date this has not been done. I would expect you would want to do this if my concern is valid. I have also asked to talk to you about the dispute. I note Mr Slater is saying I have threatened you with suing if you keep using him. You know this is not true. Any liable action will be regarding an uncorrected statement. My offer is still open and I am happy to talk about it with you. I am on 021XXXXXX.

Yours Sincerely
Helen Kelly.

I regularly recieve correspondence that is weird, written by tin-foil hat wearers convinced there is a conspiracy here or there. Usually you can tell because they type all in caps, or attach pdf files that look like the old style cut and paste ransom letters. They generally use anonymous email addresses to “protect” their privacy because the SIS or other unnamed government agencies are spying on them. One day I will publish a full selection as a book to show just how bat shit mad they all are.

One recent correspondent is Barbara Faithfull (yes with two l’s). She has been writing about a homosexual and atheist conspiracy to take over the Police, Army, government and New Zealand society, they have a gay agenda don;t you know. I got sick of the tittle tattle and gossiping about this public figure or that public figure and the pro-homosexual tendencies. It is quite pathetic. So I sent her an email. I told her to desist from emailing me.

Only a truly stupid person would continue. And so this morning I received another email from her complaining about my post about marriage equality:

From: Barbara Faithfull
To: Whaleoil

Dear Cameron Slater,

Re today’s item on the Washington State House debate on homosexual “marriage” and your derisive “I’d like to see Bob McCoskrie argue against this”.

I think Mr. McCoskrie would do extremely well, and probably win the debate, if he was to present what is scandalously withheld from the public : the damning evidence of the wider international homosexual political agenda – to deliberately subvert the institution of marriage – which I set out in an e-mail to you on 11th January this year, but which you dismissed as mere “gossip” in your rude and irrational tirade to me of 2nd February.

Barbara

My email to her on 2 February wasn’t rude or irrational. It provided a logical progression of thought about why she was a deranged bigot, a gossiper and annoying. I was polite but firm. I bCC’d a few other bloggers so they know I was polite but firm. However since she thought that was rude when it was not I thought I would reply to show what rude really looked like, and so here is my reply to a bigot.

From Whaleoil
To: Barbara Faithfull

Barbara,

You are a fucking slow learner. My reply to you was firm but polite. This one won’t be.

You are a fucking bigot, a single issue annoyance who gives Christians a bad name. Your hatred of people based ont heir sexuality suggests you have issues and ones that require the intervention of medical professionals since it seems you aren;t taking the advice God handed down to us in the Bible.

I asked you not to email me again with your homophobic rants and conspiracy theories and yet as is typical of morons like you you have chosen to ignore that advice. Well you reap what you sow you stupid bigoted irrational cow.

You are as creepy as that old wizened ACT guy who has an unhealthy interest in the sex life of Helen Clark’s husband…you are simply creepy.

As is usual you haven’t actually provided, and neither did any of the commenters on yesterdays blog post, any evidence or discussion that provides a conclusive argument against why two people shouldn’t “marry”. Other than religious bigoted responses that fail every logic test.

Using the procreation example if we logically followed that to its ultimate conclusion then marriage should only be extended to people capable of having children. That would mean that widows and widowers in their 60s would be prevented from marrying in your warped view of the world.

Romans 6:23 explains that the wages of all sin is death.

James 2:10 explains that all sin is equal

As does Matthew 7:1-5 and Isaiah 1:1-31. Might I suggest you read up on this since your bible reading seems to be lacking.

What these verses tell me is that your pridefulness and gossiping is as much a sin before the Lord as the dirty poofs you hate so much. The wages of all that sin, including your gossiping is exactly the same…death.

You dear lady are a terrible gossip, emailing bloggers, media, talk show hosts about the sexual preferences of people.

Gossip accuses people. It charges others with wrong. People love to talk about the alleged actions of others. Does the following sound familiar?

Listen to what God says about gossiping accusers: “An ungodly man digs up evil, and it is on his lips like a burning fire (Proverbs 16:27).

Gossip slanders neighbors. It destroys a person’s character or personal reputation. The Bible again tells up what happens to a gossip in Psalm 101:5 “Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will destroy”.

Gossip talks indiscreetly. People who say just anything that comes into their minds spread gossip, especially in emails. “A serpent may bite when it is not charmed; the babbler is no different” (Ecclesiastes 10:11).

In short, gossip is any communication that hurts people. “The words of a talebearer [a gossiper!] are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly” (Proverbs 18:8), King James Version.)

Finally I’ll ask that you read John 8:7 “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”

As we have established you are not without sin, you are a dreadful gossip. We have also established that ALL sin is equal and that the wages of sin is death.

Might I suggest you take the words of Jesus as written in John and SHUT THE FUCK UP about other people and let them live their live before God without out the interference of gossiping harpies like yourself.

As far as I am concerned if two people love each other and want to get married then they should be able to…no ifs buts or maybes. If they want a mother in law then they can fill their boots.

What will be extremely amusing is you turning up to an eternity in hell for your gossip and sharing eternity with the inveterate rooter, the dirty old poof and the recalcitrant kiddy fiddler all adamant that you have committed no sin before your own eyes.

I suggest that you let each person live their life knowing that they have only to anser to god rather than to busybody bigots like you.

By all means if you wish to get famous in a bad way keep on emailing me.

Kind Regards

Whaleoil

For some reason I missed this but Jane Clifton has some good advice for politicians, and in particular labour politicians addicted to social media:

STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD: MPs’ command of the social media is a fine thing – up to a point. Alas, too many have made themselves look uncharacteristically boorish and petty through ill-considered cyber-blurts. Labour’s usually good-natured Darien Fenton slagged the much-loved Sir Peter Leitch for being too friendly with the evil Tories and even suggested a boycott of his butcher shops. It’s a tragically short hop from Twitter to twit, but the lure of instant gratification is dangerously over-stimulating for most MPs.

Another victim was Trevor Mallard, goaded into a bike race by right-wing blogger Cameron Slater. Mallard won comfortably, but as Slater cheerfully characterises such encounters, the trouble with wrestling with pigs is that you get dirty, while the pigs absolutely love it. Repeat to self before posting: These golden words will be public and permanent. Do I really want history to record that I called someone a weasily little scrote?

This pig had fun last year.
