: How Much Did He Know?
Within less than a week after Richard Nixon had solemnly denied any personal involvement and promised to see justice done, one of his ousted aides threatened to implicate the President himself in a conspiracy to conceal White House involvement.

HKL medical report: No sign of penetration
Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim’s lawyers today disclosed that the most important element needed to stick a sodomy charge on the politician was missing from a report prepared by Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL).
They said that the medical report released by the hospital has revealed that there was no evidence of penetration on Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan – the complainant on whom the criminal case was based.
A copy of the medical report was attached to an affidavit filed by Anwar yesterday to strike out the sodomy charges.
The court is to hear the case beginning July 1.
The medical report was dated July 13, 2008 and was endorsed by three specialists from the government hospital.
Part of the report, which was provided to members of media today by Anwar’s lawyers, stated: “No conclusive clinical findings suggestive of penetration to the anus and no significant defensive wound on the body of the patient (Mohd Saiful)”.
At 2.30pm on Wednesday, 25 June 2008, Senior Assistant Commissioner (SAC) II Mohd Rodwan Mohd Yusof met Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan in room 619 of the Concorde Hotel in Kuala Lumpur. Prior to this secret meeting, Rodwan and Saiful spoke on the phone at least eight (8) times.Three days later, at 2.00pm on 28 June 2008, Saiful went to see Dr Mohamed Osman Abdul Hamid of the Hospital Pusrawi to ‘complain’ that he had been sodomised by ‘a very important person’ and that he wished to lodge a police report. The doctor, however, found no traces or evidence that he had been sodomised and suggested, for purposes of the police report, that Saiful go to a government hospital.
Who is Rodwan, other than the fact that he works for the IGP and is known as the police chief’s bagman and go-between with the organised crime syndicate that controls all the drugs, prostitution, loan-sharking and gambling rackets? Well, read the following archived reports to get a better understanding of this scumbag and slime-ball named Rodwan. Maybe then you can understand why he met Saiful in a hotel room three days before the sodomy allegation against Anwar Ibrahim exploded.
SUSAN,I WOULD LIKE TO WRITE THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT IN THE NAME OF GOD WHOM I BELIEVE.
I AM A GOVERNMENT DOCTOR IN THE RANK OF CONSULTANT WORKING IN HOSPITAL KUALA LUMPUR (HKL). I KNOW PERSONALLY THE DOCTORS WHO EXAMINED SAIFUL ON THAT DAY – 28 JUNE 2008.
THE SO-CALLED MEDICAL REPORT MENTIONED IN THE NST IS A FABRICATION OR IMAGINATION BY THE UMNO PAPER. THERE IS NO SUCH MEDICAL REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE POLIS YET.
WHEN EXAMINING SAIFUL, THE SPECIALIST COULD NOT FIND ANY SIGNS OF SAIFUL BEING SODOMISED. SAIFUL WAS VERY CHEERFUL, UNLIKE REAL SODOMISED PATIENTS WHO WILL USUALLY BE VERY SAD AND DISTURBED.
SAIFUL WAS SUBSEQUENTLY ADMITTED TO THE WARD AND OBSERVED FOR A DAY. HE WAS COMPLETELY WELL IN THE WARD AND NOT EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED.
"Follow the money," Deep Throat immortally advised Woodward, and the fact that Felt was now himself doing soThat Felt may have had other, less than noble motives for his actions--he was angry at the Nixon Administration because he was passed over for the directorship of the FBI--also counted against him. When altruism is tainted by apparently mean--actually entirely human--spirits, people tend to become cynical in their responses to that new, more truthful reality.

Saiful ‘wants HIS SHIT justice to be carried out’

SAIFOOL with the gayest pose ever. How the hell is he going to explain this WHO PUSHED IT IN ?KUALA LUMPUR – THE young man who accused Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim of sexual assault said he was thankful that the opposition leader was to be charged for the alleged offence.
His lawyer, Mr Zamri Idrus, said that Mr Mohd Saiful Bukhari Azlan was grateful because Anwar would finally be brought to court.‘My client has promised that he will give his full cooperation to ensure that justice will be carried out in court,’ said Mr Zamri.
Mr Saiful also asked for Malaysians to allow the legal process to run smoothly so the truth would prevail, he added. When asked if Mr Saiful would be present at the Kuala Lumpur Sessions Court today, Mr Zamri said his client would not be there for safety reasons.
‘Saiful does not need to come to court tomorrow and he only needs to come as a witness later,’ he said. ‘As promised by Saiful, he will swear on the Quran soon, but the date is still being decided on.’
On June 28, Mr Saiful, 23, made a police report accusing Mr Anwar, his former employer, of sodomising him on various occasions, the last being at a condominium unit in Damansara, two days before the report was made.

Imagine having two Umno men at the top of the judicial hierarchy, one as AG and the other as CJ. You will be able to literally get away with murder (as if they are not already getting away with it).
Ever wondered why wealth, power and sex always seem to come together? In fact, you can exchange one for the other. If you have money you can buy power or if you have power you can make money. And sex can also be used as a ‘commodity’ to ‘sell’ for money and power — or, if you have money and/or power, you can buy sex easily (and sometimes get it for free if you are an important and powerful political leader).
Some people are puzzled as to why Shafee Abdullah would go to all that trouble to fix Anwar Ibrahim on sodomy charges. He is worth RM70 million, they argue, and certainly he does not need the money — whatever amount it may be that they have put aside for the special Black Ops against Anwar. And he has enough women in his life so sex can’t be the motivator as well. Okay, so we can rule out money and sex. But what about power? What if he is slated to be the next Attorney-General and whether he gets the job or not depends on how successfully he can neutralise Anwar and remove him as a threat to Umno?
Yes, power sometimes motivates man more than money or sex — especially when you already have surplus money and sex and you really don’t need any more in your life. And becoming the next AG is certainly a powerful enough post to motivate you and would work well when your other friend from Umno, the current President of the Court of Appeal, goes on to become the next Chief Justice.
Imagine having two Umno men at the top of the judicial hierarchy, one as AG and the other as CJ. You will be able to literally get away with murder (as if they are not already getting away with it). And just like how Britannia used to rule the waves, Umno just needs to wave and rule that your arse gets thrown into prison for the rest of your miserable life and you become history, like Britannia.
The Malays call this suruh kambing jaga sireh (asking the goat to look after the beetle leaves). The two kambing as head of the judiciary and the Attorney-General’s Chambers will ensure that no sireh will be safe.
MMM — money motivates man. And money can buy plenty of power and sex. Hey, who needs to worry about going to heaven after they have died when they already have heaven here on earth? No, that is not what Islam teaches. That is what Malays masquerading as Muslims practice.
Talking about Islam, read the following piece about swearing on the Quran. It seems Saiful will soon be swearing on the Quran that Anwar sodomised him. That is not Islam. That is Malay. The good Prophet never taught Muslims to swear on the Quran. It is a Malay invention just like how Malays invent many other things about Islam that are not true and totally false.
Finally, Anwar Ibrahim was charged today and was released on personal bond. That was certainly a surprise as I could have sworn (not on the Quran though) he would be denied bail. Anyway, it looks like Anwar will be able to celebrate his birthday this Sunday (10 August 200) at home after all instead of in the Sungai Buloh Prison. Let’s all swarm over to Anwar’s house this Sunday to wish him a happy birthday.
Oh, and one more thing, it appears like that very illusive elusive DNA that the police have unsuccessfully tried to get from Anwar may be no good after all. It seems DNA are no longer regarded as conclusive and, in Australia, 7,000 cases where convictions were secured through DNA are being reviewed.
Well, back to the drawing board I suppose. They will now have to rethink their strategy on how to secure a conviction against Anwar. The DNA route may not be on after all.

KUALA LUMPUR – THE young man who accused Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim of sexual assault said he was thankful that the opposition leader was to be charged for the alleged offence.

*************************************************Courts should be ‘cautious’ with DNA evidenceThe Age, 6 August 2008
Courts must be cautious about the use of DNA technology to make convictions after police admitted they dropped a murder charge because evidence had been contaminated, a civil libertarian says.
Victorian Council for Civil Liberties vice president Michael Pearce said his association had been urging caution about DNA evidence for some time.
“The problem with DNA is that if you get a match the evidence is so strong and compelling it almost guarantees conviction,” Mr Pearce said.
He said courts should also demand corroborating evidence to back up the DNA match.
“It’s encouraging in this case that police have dropped charges but they should have satisfied themselves in the first place about the strength of the evidence,” Mr Pearce said.
“Over the years we have been urging people to be cautious about using DNA.”
Murder charges were today withdrawn against Russell John Gesah who was last month charged with the 1984 murders of Margaret Tapp and her daughter Seana in Melbourne.
Police in Victoria are now re-examining every crime solved using DNA after admitting evidence used against Gesah was contaminated.
Deputy Commissioner Simon Overland said 7,000 cases were being reviewed.
The charges were withdrawn after it was discovered DNA evidence implicating Gesah was contaminated in a Victoria Police laboratory in 1999.
The overwhelming weight of the evidence is against Nixon, though there is no single piece of new information that could conclusively decide the case. There is much ambiguity about specific words and actions of the President. But the broad pattern of motives and strategies suggested by the mass of material leaves little doubt about the major aim of the President: to protect him self and his aides from the flood of disclosures that began immediately after the Watergate break-in on June 17, 1972
Mahathir admitting conspiracy in the 1988 sodomy accusation?
SOME PEOPLE ARE PUZZLED AS TO WHY SHAFEE ABDULLAH WOULD GO TO ALL THAT TROUBLE TO FIX ANWAR IBRAHIM ON SODOMY CHARGES. HE IS WORTH RM70 MILLION, THEY ARGUE, AND CERTAINLY HE DOES NOT NEED THE MONEY — WHATEVER AMOUNT IT MAY BE THAT THEY HAVE PUT ASIDE FOR THE SPECIAL BLACK OPS AGAINST ANWAR. AND HE HAS ENOUGH WOMEN IN HIS LIFE SO SEX CAN’T BE THE MOTIVATOR AS WELL. OKAY, SO WE CAN RULE OUT MONEY AND SEX. BUT WHAT ABOUT POWER? WHAT IF HE IS SLATED TO BE THE NEXT ATTORNEY-GENERAL AND WHETHER HE GETS THE JOB OR NOT DEPENDS ON HOW SUCCESSFULLY HE CAN NEUTRALISE ANWAR AND REMOVE HIM AS A THREAT TO UMNO?
YES, POWER SOMETIMES MOTIVATES MAN MORE THAN MONEY OR SEX — ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ALREADY HAVE SURPLUS MONEY AND SEX AND YOU REALLY DON’T NEED ANY MORE IN YOUR LIFE. AND BECOMING THE NEXT AG IS CERTAINLY A POWERFUL ENOUGH POST TO MOTIVATE YOU AND WOULD WORK WELL WHEN YOUR OTHER FRIEND FROM UMNO, THE CURRENT PRESIDENT OF THE COURT OF APPEAL, GOES ON TO BECOME THE NEXT CHIEF JUSTICE.
IMAGINE HAVING TWO UMNO MEN AT THE TOP OF THE JUDICIAL HIERARCHY, ONE AS AG AND THE OTHER AS CJ. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO LITERALLY GET AWAY WITH MURDER (AS IF THEY ARE NOT ALREADY GETTING AWAY WITH IT). AND JUST LIKE HOW BRITANNIA USED TO RULE THE WAVES, UMNO JUST NEEDS TO WAVE AND RULE THAT YOUR ARSE GETS THROWN INTO PRISON FOR THE REST OF YOUR MISERABLE LIFE AND YOU BECOME HISTORY, LIKE BRITANNIA.
THE MALAYS CALL THIS SURUH KAMBING JAGA SIREH (ASKING THE GOAT TO LOOK AFTER THE BEETLE LEAVES). THE TWO KAMBING AS HEAD OF THE JUDICIARY AND THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL’S CHAMBERS WILL ENSURE THAT NO SIREH WILL BE SAFE.
MMM — MONEY MOTIVATES MAN. AND MONEY CAN BUY PLENTY OF POWER AND SEX. HEY, WHO NEEDS TO WORRY ABOUT GOING TO HEAVEN AFTER THEY HAVE DIED WHEN THEY ALREADY HAVE HEAVEN HERE ON EARTH? NO, THAT IS NOT WHAT ISLAM TEACHES. THAT IS WHAT MALAYS MASQUERADING AS MUSLIMS PRACTICE.
TALKING ABOUT ISLAM, READ THE FOLLOWING PIECE ABOUT SWEARING ON THE QURAN. IT SEEMS SAIFUL WILL SOON BE SWEARING ON THE QURAN THAT ANWAR SODOMISED HIM. THAT IS NOT ISLAM. THAT IS MALAY. THE GOOD PROPHET NEVER TAUGHT MUSLIMS TO SWEAR ON THE QURAN. IT IS A MALAY INVENTION JUST LIKE HOW MALAYS INVENT MANY OTHER THINGS ABOUT ISLAM THAT ARE NOT TRUE AND TOTALLY FALSE.
FINALLY, ANWAR IBRAHIM WAS CHARGED TODAY AND WAS RELEASED ON PERSONAL BOND. THAT WAS CERTAINLY A SURPRISE AS I COULD HAVE SWORN (NOT ON THE QURAN THOUGH) HE WOULD BE DENIED BAIL. ANYWAY, IT LOOKS LIKE ANWAR WILL BE ABLE TO CELEBRATE HIS BIRTHDAY THIS SUNDAY (10 AUGUST 200) AT HOME AFTER ALL INSTEAD OF IN THE SUNGAI BULOH PRISON. LET’S ALL SWARM OVER TO ANWAR’S HOUSE THIS SUNDAY TO WISH HIM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
OH, AND ONE MORE THING, IT APPEARS LIKE THAT VERY ILLUSIVE ELUSIVE DNA THAT THE POLICE HAVE UNSUCCESSFULLY TRIED TO GET FROM ANWAR MAY BE NO GOOD AFTER ALL. IT SEEMS DNA ARE NO LONGER REGARDED AS CONCLUSIVE AND, IN AUSTRALIA, 7,000 CASES WHERE CONVICTIONS WERE SECURED THROUGH DNA ARE BEING REVIEWED.
WELL, BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD I SUPPOSE. THEY WILL NOW HAVE TO RETHINK THEIR STRATEGY ON HOW TO SECURE A CONVICTION AGAINST ANWAR. THE DNA ROUTE MAY NOT BE ON AFTER ALL.

LAWYER: ABDUL RAZAK BAGINDA ‘IS COMPLETELY UNIMPLICATED’
ABDUL RAZAK BAGINDA, A PROMINENT POLITICAL ANALYST, KNEW THE MURDERED MONGOLIAN MODEL. HIS LAWYER, SHAFEE ABDULLAH, SAID HE WOULDN’T “GO SO FAR TO SAY” THAT ABDUL RAZAK HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH ALTANTUYA SHAARIIBUU, BUT WOULD SAY THAT “HE KNOWS THE LADY.”
HE SAID HE MET HIS CLIENT WEDNESDAY MORNING AND HEARD HIS SIDE OF THE STORY. “I AM EXTREMELY RELIEVED FROM MY CONVERSATION … I AM TOTALLY CONVINCED OF HIS INNOCENCE .. HE IS COMPLETELY UNIMPLICATED.” [ASSOCIATED PRESS VIA INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE]
MUHAMMAD SHAFEE ABDULLAH: THERE ARE A LOT OF INDIVIDUALS OUT THERE WHO FEEL THAT THE WHOLE TRIAL HAS GONE COMPLETELY BONKERS. MANY INDIVIDUALS THINK THAT ANWAR DID NOT RECEIVE A FAIR TRIAL.
TIM LESTER: THE DAMAGE FROM THE TRIAL GOES BEYOND PERCEPTIONS ABOUT GOVERNMENT INFLUENCE OVER THE JUDICIARY TO THE POLICE FORCE.
MUHAMED AZMIN ALI: THEY HIT ME PHYSICALLY AND THEY STRIPPED ME NAKED AND ASKED ME TO DANCE IN THE ROOM, WITH MY HAND HANDCUFFED.
TIM LESTER: ANWAR IBRAHIM’S PRIVATE SECRETARY OF 11 YEARS WAS AMONG HUNDREDS ARRESTED AT THE HEIGHT OF ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS LAST YEAR. HE’S NOW MAKING A DISTURBINGLY COMMON CLAIM IN KUALA LUMPUR — THAT POLICE USED BRUTALITY AND HUMILIATION IN THE HOPE OF RECRUITING HIM AS A WITNESS AGAINST ANWAR.
MUHAMED AZMIN ALI: OH, YEAH, THEY ASKED ME TO ADMIT THAT I WAS SODOMISED BY ANWAR.
TIM LESTER: THREE OF FIVE PEOPLE CITED IN SEX CHARGES PENDING AGAINST ANWAR HAVE NOW WITHDRAWN THEIR CLAIMS AND TURNED ON POLICE.
GURBACHAN SINGH: AND THEY WERE PICKED UP AND FORCED — TORTURED BY THE POLICE — TO MAKE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST ANWAR, TO ADMIT TO SODOMY, WHICH THEY REPEATEDLY SAID NEVER HAPPENED. AND THEY’VE GONE ON AFFIDAVITS, THEY’VE GONE ON STATUTORY DECLARATIONS TO THAT EFFECT.
TIM LESTER: ADD IN ANWAR’S BLACK EYE — MALAYSIA’S HIGHEST-RANKING OFFICER AT THE TIME HIT HIM WHILE HE WAS BLINDFOLDED AND HANDCUFFED. IN THE PROCESS OF CONVICTING ANWAR, MALAYSIA’S POLICE HAVE EARNED THEMSELVES AN IMAGE CRISIS.
AMONG OTHER CLAIMS THAT DIDN’T MAKE IT TO COURT — THE WASHINGTON LIMOUSINE DRIVER WHO SAYS A MALAYSIAN EMBASSY OFFICIAL ASKED HIM TO ACCUSE ANWAR OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT WHILE VISITING THE US.
JAMAL AMRO: THEN HE ASKED ME — HE SAID “RELAX”. THEN HE TOLD ME, “ANWAR — DID YOU EVER BRING GIRLS FOR HIM, OR BOYS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?”
I SAID, “NO”.
HE SAID “C’MON, IF YOU SAY ‘YES’, WE CAN MAKE SOME MONEY”.
TIM LESTER: JAMAL SAYS HE WAS TOLD HE COULD MAKE MORE THAN $250,000 BY GOING ALONG WITH THE SEX CLAIMS AGAINST THE THEN DEPUTY PM. PUBLIC ANGER OVER ANWAR’S TREATMENT HAS HELPED HIS WIFE, WAN AZIZAH, WIN BACKING FOR A NEW POLITICAL PARTY AND AN OPPOSITION ALLIANCE TO FIGHT DR MAHATHIR AT THE NEXT ELECTION.
MUHAMED AZMIN ALI: THE HATRED AGAINST THE PRESENT LEADERSHIP IS SWELLING BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT BELIEVE THE MANNER THEY HANDLED THIS ISSUE AGAINST ANWAR.
TIM LESTER: THIS TRIAL AND THE EVENTS AROUND IT HAVE THROWN UP CHALLENGES THE MAHATHIR GOVERNMENT DIDN’T ANTICIPATE. NOW, THERE’S THE POSSIBILITY OF A UNITED OPPOSITION AT THE NEXT NATIONAL ELECTION DUE WITHIN 12 MONTHS.
A POWERFUL THREAT FOR DR MAHATHIR, BUT IT’S STILL NOT LIKELY. THE GROUPS ANWAR’S SUPPORTERS NEED TO BRING TOGETHER WOULD MAKE UNUSUAL PARTNERS.
BRUCE GALE: IT SEEMS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT POST-ELECTION, THAT THIS ALLIANCE COULD HOLD. THE POLICIES OF THESE PARTIES ARE SO DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO ONE ANOTHER. ISLAMIC FUNDAMENTALISTS WANT AN ISLAMIC STATE. TO THE CHINESE, THIS IS AN ANATHEMA — SOMETHING THEY WOULD NEVER ACCEPT.
TIM LESTER: MANY MALAYSIANS DON’T LIKE THE WAY THEIR GOVERNMENT AND JUDICIAL SYSTEM DEALT WITH ANWAR IBRAHIM. TODAY’S VERDICT WILL ONLY FUEL THEIR SUSPICIONS.
BUT DR MAHATHIR IS STILL IN THE MIDDLE GROUND OF MALAYSIAN POLITICS. HIS ENEMIES HAVE A GIANT TASK — TRYING TO BRING TOGETHER OPPOSITION PARTIES INTO AN ALLIANCE NEEDED TO CAPITALISE ON ANTI-GOVERNMENT SENTIMENT.
A PASSAGE IN FORMER PREMIER MAHATHIR MOHAMAD’S LATEST ARTICLE ON THE ANWAR SODOMY CONTROVERSY SEEMS TO HAVE OFFERED AN INTERESTING INSIGHT INTO MAHATHIR’S SUBCONSCIOUS THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT.
IN AN ARTICLE TITLED “THE ANWAR DEBATE” POSTED IN HIS OWN BLOG ON JULY 17, MAHATHIR SUGGESTED THE CURRENT SODOMY ALLEGATION AGAINST ANWAR IBRAHIM MUST BE TRUE, AS THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT CAN’T POSSIBLY BE SO STUPID AS TO USE THE SAME TACTIC TWICE TO UNDERMINE ANWAR. THE INTERESTING PARTS OF HIS ARGUMENTS ARE FOUND IN PARAGRAPHS 6 & 7, WHICH I QUOTE:
“PARA 6. YET CAN IT BE THAT THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT IS SO STUPID AND UNIMAGINATIVE AS TO USE THE SAME ‘PLOY’ ESPECIALLY AFTER IT WAS SO HAPPY OVER THE RELEASE OF ANWAR? SURELY IT COULD COME UP WITH ANOTHER STORY WHICH WOULD BE MORE CREDIBLE IF IT IS DELIBERATELY PLOTTING OR CONSPIRING AGAINST ANWAR. THE PROBABILITY IS THAT THE STORY IS THE SAME BECAUSE IT IS GENUINE.
“PARA 7. IS THE PRESENT COMPLAINANT A COPYCAT? HARDLY LIKELY. FEW WOULD CARE TO MAKE PUBLIC SUCH A VERY SHAMEFUL THING AS BEING SODOMISED. ………”. (UNDERLINES ARE INSERTED BY ME FOR HIGHLIGHTING PURPOSE).
THE WORD ‘COPYCAT’ IMPLIES THAT SOMEONE IS REPRODUCING SOMETHING BY SIMPLY COPYING A PRECEDENT. SO WHAT IS THAT ‘SOMETHING’ THAT THE SUPPOSED PLOTTERS ARE COPYING? IS IT THE SODOMY ACCUSATION PER SE OR THE PLOT TO FIX ANWAR? SURELY IT MUST BE THE LATTER, FOR IT DOESN’T MAKE SENSE FOR SOMEONE TO ACCUSE ANWAR OF SODOMY JUST FOR THE SAKE OF COPYING A SIMILAR ACCUSATION TEN YEARS AGO. SO, BY USING ‘COPYCAT’ TO ILLUSTRATE HIS QUESTION, ISN’T MAHATHIR INADVERTENTLY REVEALING HIS INNER THOUGHTS THAT THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT WAS INDEED A PLOT?
SIMILAR TREND OF THOUGHTS CAN ALSO BE DETECTED IN THE USE OF THE WORDS “THE SAME ‘PLOY’” TO DESCRIBE THE PRESENT INCIDENT, THOUGH THE WORD ‘PLOY’ IS UNDERSTOOD TO BE A SARCASTIC EXPRESSION. FOR IF THE PREVIOUS INCIDENT WAS NOT A PLOT, THEN WHY USE IT TO ILLUSTRATE THAT THE PRESENT INCIDENT ISN’T A PLOT? BY DOING SO, MAHATHIR IS VIRTUALLY SAYING THAT NO ONE IS SO STUPID AS TO USE THE SAME TRICK TWICE ON THE SAME PEOPLE. ISN’T THIS AN ADMISSION THAT THE SODOMY ACCUSATION IN 1998 WAS A CONSPIRACY AGAINST ANWAR?
MAHATHIR ALSO IMPLICITLY ADMITTED THAT THE 1998 SODOMY CHARGE WAS NOT QUITE A SMART MOVE WHEN HE SAID “SURELY IT COULD COME UP WITH ANOTHER STORY WHICH WOULD BE MORE CREDIBLE ……”
THOUGH THE 1998/1999 TRIALS OF ANWAR HAVE BEEN UNIVERSALLY RECOGNISED AS A CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY ANWAR POLITICALLY, IT IS NEVERTHELESS THE FIRST TIME THAT MAHATHIR ACKNOWLEDGED THIS FACT IN HIS OWN WORDS, HOWEVER UNINTENDED SUCH ACKNOWLEDGMENT MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
WITH REGARDS TO MAHATHIR’S MAIN RATIONALE THAT THIS GOVERNMENT CANNOT POSSIBLY BE SO STUPID, MY SIMPLE ANSWER IS THAT THIS IS NOT A GOVERNMENT PLOT BUT AN EVIL SCHEME HATCHED BY A FEW VERY INFLUENTIAL AND POWERFUL INDIVIDUALS WHO FEEL THREATENED BY ANWAR’S IMMINENT RISE TO POLITICAL POWER.
IS THIS ACT STUPID AS CLAIMED BY MAHATHIR? CERTAINLY NOT! ON THE CONTRARY, SODOMY CHARGE REMAINS THE MOST POWERFUL AND CONVENIENT WEAPON TO BRING DOWN A PUBLIC FIGURE IN A COUNTRY LIKE MALAYSIA WHERE RULE OF LAW IS WEAK AND WHERE SUCH SEXUAL CONDUCT IS LEGALLY CONDEMNED AS A HEINOUS CRIME. SIGNIFICANTLY, THE CORRUPT INSTITUTIONS OF STATE THAT WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN BRINGING DOWN ANWAR TEN YEARS AGO REMAIN AS CORRUPTED TODAY (IF NOT MORE).
IS ANWAR GUILTY OF SODOMY AS CLAIMED BY MAHATHIR? THE ANSWER IS: WOULD THE POLICE HAVE RELEASED ANWAR ONLY HOURS AFTER ARRESTING HIM WITH SUCH OBSCENE BALLYHOO, IF ANWAR DID NOT PROVIDE A COMPLETE ALIBI FOR THE DAY HE WAS ACCUSED OF ASSAULTING THE ALLEGED VICTIM?
IT TAKES A THIEFNot all Malays will swallow what sleepyhead saysHe directed his paper's contribution to exposing Watergate, the great political scandal, the constitutional crisis that brought down Richard Nixon. the President's Men, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's book about how they got their big Watergate story and, more significantly, in the movie retelling of their exploits.
dream….dream…..dream……….sleepyheadHOLD ON AWHILE THOUGH. PRIME MINISTER ABDULLAH AHMAD BADAWI SAID THAT ANWAR MUST VOLUNTEER HIS ‘NEW’ DNA PROFILE. THE 1998 DNA PROFILE THAT THE POLICE HAVE ON RECORD IS ‘TOO OLD’, ARGUED ABDULLAH. THE POLICE, IN TURN, SAID THAT IF ANWAR REFUSES TO VOLUNTEER HIS ‘NEW’ DNA PROFILE THEN THEY WOULD HAVE TO OBTAIN A COURT ORDER TO FORCE HIM TO DO SO. HMM…..THERE APPEARS TO BE MANY THINGS WRONG WITH ALL THIS.FIRSTLY, IF THE CHEMISTRY DEPARTMENT HAS ALREADY WRAPPED UP ITS CASE AND THE AIRTIGHT ‘EVIDENCE’ AGAINST ANWAR HAS ALREADY BEEN SECURED THEN WHY THE NEED FOR ANWAR’S NEW DNA PROFILE? DNA PROFILES NEVER EXPIRE. WOULD THE POLICE ALSO NEED ANWAR’S ‘NEW’ FINGERPRINTS BECAUSE THE ONE THEY TOOK TEN YEARS AGO HAS ‘EXPIRED’? FINGERPRINTS NEVER CHANGE FROM THE DAY YOU WERE BORN TILL THE DAY YOU DIE. AND THE SAME GOES FOR DNA PROFILES AS WELL.
If you can remember, they once dug up Napoleon Bonaparte’s grave and did an examination to prove he had died of arsenic poisoning. And Napoleon died on 5 May 1821, which is more than 187 years ago. You mean to say that Anwar’s DNA profile of ten years ago is already basi?
The truth is, the airtight ‘evidence’ that the Chemistry Department recently conjured is based on Anwar’s specimen of 1998. So they need a new specimen dated 2008. If not, if Anwar calls in an independent foreign expert to audit the Chemistry Department’s evidence, he or she might just discover that the so-called ‘evidence’ is actually ten years old and not from the 26 June 2008 ‘sodomy’ incident as alleged by the government.
Yes, that’s right, they not only can tell whether the so-called ‘semen’ on Saiful’s underwear belongs to Anwar, they can also tell whether it is from September 1998 when they first took Anwar’s specimen, or whether it is dated 26 June 2008 as alleged by the government.
The ‘evidence’ is ready. The semen specimen on Saiful’s underwear has been confirmed. The only problem would be if they allow an independent foreign expert to do an audit on the Chemistry Department’s findings, he or she might confirm that the specimen is ten years old and not dated 26 June 2008 as alleged.
So they need to exchange the September 1998 specimen with a new one dated July 2008. And that is why Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawi and Syed Hamid Albar, and all those others, have asked Anwar to volunteer his new specimen. They need this new specimen to ‘prove’ that the semen on Saiful’s underwear is dated 26 June 2008 and not September 1998. And Abdullah himself ‘confirmed’ this when he asked Anwar to volunteer his new specimen whereas the old specimen is good enough if it is just required for DNA profiling — only that it would not pass the test if an independent foreign expert was to audit the Chemistry Department’s ‘evidence’ and then come out with a report that says the specimen is ten years old.
Yes, in September 1998 they already took Anwar’s specimen. But they can’t use it as evidence in this latest sodomy allegation. They need to ‘update’ the evidence and unless they can force Anwar to give them his new specimen then the evidence will be shot full of holes. And that is why the police had to reluctantly release Anwar on police bail one day after his dramatic Hollywood-style arrest. They either had to release him or bring him to court to be charged. But how to charge Anwar when the evidence is defective? And evidence of Anwar’s so-called sodomy crime supported by a specimen from September 1998 will certainly be defective and will not stand up in court. Anwar is alleged to have sodomised Saiful on 26 June 2008, not in September 1998.
Now can you see how the slime-ball AG and scumbag IGP work? And these two slithery creatures are the same slime-balls and scumbags who fabricated evidence in 1998 that resulted in Anwar having to spend six years in jail. And am I committing an act of sedition and criminal defamation in saying this? I certainly hope so. And, while we are at it, why not I commit yet another ‘crime’? I am going to accuse the AG and IGP of fabricating evidence and of intimidating witnesses.
You see, they asked a certain doctor from a certain hospital to conduct an examination on Saiful. The doctor did so and he came out with a report that said there is no evidence Anwar had ever penetrated or sodomised the young man. The police then picked up the doctor and detained him for three days. As much as they tried to force him to change his report to implicate Anwar he refused to do so.
Until today, the doctor stands by his report that there is no evidence Anwar had sodomised Saiful. He knows he is going to be made to pay for this but he doesn’t care. He is not going to change his report and say that Anwar sodomised Saiful whatever they do to him. Exasperated, the police had to release Anwar on personal bond or police bail. The doctor refuses to doctor his report and neither does Anwar want to volunteer his new specimen.
The ‘evidence’ against Anwar is no good. They now need to look for another way to ‘prove’ that Anwar sodomised Saiful. In the meantime, let us see if the AG will be making another police report against me and whether the IGP is going to arrest me and charge me in court for sedition and criminal defamation for this latest allegation of mine.
Hey, I already face four charges of sedition and criminal defamation. What are another two or three charges? The important thing is not whether I get sent to jail or not. What is important is that the world is told that they are attempting, yet again, to fabricate evidence against Anwar Ibrahim. And that is worth going to jail for. read more click belowTHURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2009

A mystery unsolved, subject to endless speculation, has the power to haunt us as long as memory persists, as long as the human animal retains its power to sip Chardonnay and contemplate life's enigmas.the identity of Deep Throat had been, for the past 33 years, the most tantalizing of those questions--in part because he placed himself at risk to bring down a corrupt government, in part because of the romantically noirish way he was portrayed in All He directed his paper's contribution to exposing Watergate, the great political scandal, the constitutional crisis that brought down Richard Nixon. the President's Men, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein's book about how they got their big Watergate story and, more significantly, in the movie retelling of their exploits."Follow the money," Deep Throat immortally advised Woodward, and the fact that Felt was now himself doing soThat Felt may have had other, less than noble motives for his actions--he was angry at the Nixon Administration because he was passed over for the directorship of the FBI--also counted against him. When altruism is tainted by apparently mean--actually entirely human--spirits, people tend to become cynical in their responses to that new, more truthful reality.
The overwhelming weight of the evidence is against Nixon, though there is no single piece of new information that could conclusively decide the case. There is much ambiguity about specific words and actions of the President. But the broad pattern of motives and strategies suggested by the mass of material leaves little doubt about the major aim of the President: to protect him self and his aides from the flood of disclosures that began immediately after the Watergate break-in on June 17, 1972.
