Robert Mugabe

It looks like Robert Mugabe is about to peg out…fingers crossed:

Robert Mugabe is said to be close to death in a Singapore hospital.

The Australian reports the Zimbabwe president has agreed to hand over power to his feared Defence Minister Emmerson Mnangagwa.

The Zimbabwe Mail says he’s undergoing intensive treatment, and some members of his family have joined him.

The 88-year-old has an undisclosed illness, thought to be cancer.

Mugabe was ostensibly in Singapore to oversee enrolment in a postgraduate course at Singapore University for his daughter.

The Zimbabwe Mail, quoting a senior official of Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party, says the President is undergoing intensive treatment in Singapore and some members of his family have joined him after boarding a chartered private jet on Saturday.

The alarm was raised when the Government postponed a Cabinet meeting set for today.

A US diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks last month suggests Mugabe has prostate cancer that has spread to other organs.

Fred Goodwin has joined Robert Mugabe in being stripped of his knighthood:

Former RBS chief Fred Goodwin joins the likes of Robert Mugabe, Anthony Blunt and Nicolae Ceausescu in losing his knighthood.

Since 1995, the honours forfeiture committee has recommended that 34 people be stripped of their honours.

Other similarly stripped of their knighthoods or honours are Allen Stanford, Anthony Blunt, Lester Piggott, Prince Naseem and Roger Casement.

Shane Jones has suggested that Michael Fay be likewise stripped of his knighthood.

Deep throat Beehive sources tell me John Key is leaning towards accepting Don Brash’s request for a Commission of Inquiry into the police investigation of the theft of his emails, but Bill English is adamently opposed.

English, as Minister of Finance, argues that at a time of economic recession and cuts to the public service, the public doesn’t want to see the Government spending taxpayers’ money on an inquiry. Instead, English is suggesting Howard Broad investigates the investigation.

Whaleoil says justice at any price.

And what is Bill so worried about.

Does he have something to hide?

Taito Philip Field finally has his day in court today. He is up on corruption charges.

One wonders, though, why there will only be one former Labour minister in the dock on corruption charges.

It’ll be interesting to see if any skeletons fall out of Labour’s closet during the trial.

Am I wrong or was it King & Cunliffe who were responsible for the big hooha over the Hawkes Bay District Health Board?

What is with the media repeating that they are a safe pair of hands and are so competent?

There is a little court case coming up which should show just how incompentent and meddling these two really are. I also expect to see Craig Foss and Chirs Tremain stirring up a fair bit of a stink over this debacle now they are in government.

Just because they are now in opposition doesn’t mean I am going to stop smacking them when they deserve it.

Proof positive that Labour were donkey deep involved with Winston and his corruption is the news today that the Vela Family donated $100,000 to Labour just days before the election.

Labour announced this two days after the election because they rightly calculated that to announce it the same day they announced that th EPMU gave them $60,000 would have caused their vote to plummet further than it did anyway.

Labour is bent, thankfully the one who is most bent has fallen on her sword.

John Key needs to immediately setup an Independent Commission against Corruption to look into all parties and their funding arrangements.

Crass headline I know but they do.

The Autism Intervention Trust has revealed to Sir Philip Kitchin that they rejected $10,000 from NZ First because it wasn’t theirs to give.

Donations can be sent to the Autism Intervention Trust, PO Box 83052, Johnsonville, Wellington.

This charity deseerves our support for not playing along with Winston’s charade.

Sent in by a loyal reader;

Unlike most people who find it difficult to lie, Winston Raymond Peters, 63, List MP of no fixed abode and proven liar finds it extremely dificult to tell the truth.

It is now abundantly clear that not only is suffering from extreme Narcissitic Personality Disorder but also suffers from Pseudologia Fantastica. Otherwise as known as pathological lying which was first written about in medical literature in 1891.

Pathological lying is falsification entirely disproportionate to any discernible end in view, may be extensive and very complicated, and may manifest over a period of years or even a lifetime.

I am almost certain that he also suffers from Mythomania.

Despite stating that campaigning in a helicopter was a ludicrous idea and that Tim Pankhurst and Phil Kitchin fabricated everything photos have emerged that show Winston doing precisely that. So like his denial of being at Karaka and subsequent photos showing otherwise Winston is once again shown to be a pathological liar.

The man simply cannot bring himself to ever tell the truth.

The Greens also now are getting extremely cold feet and are calling for a Commission of Inquiry. I agree but I also think we need to establish an Independent Commission against Corruption.

Winston Raymond Peters, 63, List MP of no fixed abode and proven liar, crook and corrupt politician is once again the headlines and for all the wrong reasons.

Remember my post about the $3 billion tax-avoiders who just so happened to be Winston’s mates involved in the setting up of the “Couch Trust”. Now look at what one of the transcripts provided to Phil Kitchin says;

Some documents have parliamentary letterheads and include notes from a meeting at which Mr Peters said he had saved Vela interests “millions in tax liability”.

Mmmmm…not that is a happy coincidence isn’t it.

Phil Kitchin has plenty more though, that fully exposes WRP, 63, LMPONFAAPL as the corrupt, venal wanker that he is.

There is no way he can weasel out this one. The documents are irrefutable. Not only did Winston demand cash for policy he also wanted a helicopter to swan around in.

At the very least he could claim that the helicopter was to provide a breeze to stop his excessive sweating. Winston, today will be sweating like a rapist with these latest allegations of graft.

Helen would have spat her cornflakes and over-milked tea across the table at Peter after reading these allegations. Helen Clark is donkey deep in this because of her constant defence of Winston and also by enabling the laws and policy concessions bought and paid for by Vela interests.
