<< EDITOR ASKED TO EXPLAIN EDITING ~ MAIN ~ PURE EVIL >>
KEEP UP THE GOOD WROK
Following months of intensive research, Margo Kingston’s expert Webdiary staff have finally devised the perfect means by which an online news service (or even Webdiary) may generate income:
How to donate: By cheque or money order to: Webdiary Pty Ltd PO Box 1031 Spit Junction NSW 2088
Who’d ever have thought? It seems people can support websites by sending money through the mail! The online revolution continues. (Webdiary’s other payment option: internet banking transfers. So quick and easy!) As delighted reader Jalal says:
Wayne, Margo et al, the Webdiary is getting better and better. I used to buy a newspaper on daily basis, I have stopped and I do not see any urge in doing so.
Even better is an endorsement from Brigadier Adrian d’Hage. “After his book was published he wrote me the following letter,” reports Margo, who appears to have transcribed the letter while wearing boxing gloves:
Dear Margo,
It seems like an age since we had that “off the record” lunch in Manuka (the restaurant seems to change its name every time I go back!), or iddndeed another age since I reported from Istambul. The fruits of my labour are enclosed - and I see we have great taste in publishers!. I enjoyed Not Happy John immensely.
The Omega Scroll is a thriller designed to reach a broad audience, but you will not be surprised to find that there is a deeper message within its pages. The chase for the scroll aside, there is a message about the futility of going to war, and the influence of religion.
It might sound strrange, coming from a military man, but I continue to hold to my view that the invasion of Iraq will go down in history as one of the most ill-planned military operations of modern times and the nuclear suitcase threat is real.
Unfortunately, the only senior US officer th stand up to Bush and Rumsfeld was the US Army Chief of Staff General Eric Shinseki, and not surprisingly, he was sacked.
More importantly, our poltcis in the Midsdle east are a real threat oto the stability of the wider world. nThe invasion of Iraq with woefully insifficent troop numbers and without the sanction of the UN has provided a fertile breedkiding ground for Islamic fundamantalistas.
Regretably, the co0aliton pociesmin Iraq and the Middle East have also been aided and encoruages by the influential Chirstian Right in the uS. Relagion has got a lot to answer for, and I make that remark as someone who holds an honours degtree in Theology. I entered my studies asa a very committed Christian and graduated “of no fixed religion”.
The threat of nuclear suitaces first came to my attention when i was heading up the planning for the security of the Sydney during the Olympics, and I went so far as to organise a respinse in case one of them should surface. There is now considferable (albeit not well known) open source reporting of the existence of these - first raised by Boris Yewltsin’s Security Secretary, Alexander Lebed, in a meeting othe US House of Represenatives in 1998.
One can only hope that in the future the West will be blessed with somew leaders of vision who can address the “why” of all this before on eof those suitcases becaomes a relaity. More than happy to debate this in the pages of your diary!@ Keep up the good wrok.
Best regards,
Adrain d’Hage

Admit it…
Posted by Quentin George on 2005 10 29 at 02:22 AM • permalinkIsn’t it obvious, Margo thinks that if she continues to make spelling/grammatical errors, people will feel sorry for her and actually donate to her
moonbat sitewebdiary out of pity.Or as previously mentioned on this site (and more accurately), she is a deranged member of the tin hat brigade (with various other mental illnesses).
“Pass no. 27671, Kingston, M.L, Webdiary Pty Ltd.”
A Press pass for Margo!!
Guess that bit about the million monkeys typing must be true..
And the “Omega scroll” ha ,ha, ha, I gotta get some of what she smokes.Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2005 10 29 at 02:35 AM • permalinkLOL! If I was Adrian D’Hag I’d be visiting my solicitor A.S.A.P.
Posted by Lucky Nutsacks on 2005 10 29 at 02:40 AM • permalinkIs there a comment at that site, by magro, that isn’t self congratulatory in some way? what a conga line of suckholes
... has provided a fertile breedkiding ground for Islamic fundamantalistas.
I don’t know about you guys, but I think that’s brilliant.
Islamic fundamantalistas!!
I think those are the guys carrying the Palestinian flag while wearing Che Guevara t-shirts.
A breedkiding ground has something to do with goats. I’m not totally clear on this one.

Posted by lil varmint on 2005 10 29 at 03:06 AM • permalinkFormer Brigadier Adrian d’Hage was the public face of Defence PR for a number of years in the late 90’s. His talking to members of the Canberra Press Gallery was routine and important part of his role.
What I don’t understand is his laughable endorsement of ‘Hot Nappy John’. If Adrain’s politics swing to Magrok support, then I fear that the aberration that was Wilkie is not such a misnomer. How many other senior ADF commanders feel that the government was wrong to support the displacement of Saddam Hussein? How many other defence messages are being muted by the politics of hippies in uniform?
Isn’t it surprising to read Adrian’s comments from September 24, 2001, two weeks after the Trade Center towers were demolished through terrorist act and 18 MONTHS before the US went into Iraq.
“The entire New York casualty list of 5,000, 6,000 dies in Iraq every month, and they’re mainly women and children, because of US-sponsored sanctions against that country that are clearly not working.”
As a Vietnam veteran, I wonder if his opinion has been swayed by his experiences in that theatre of combat. I often wondered why a decorated infantry commander ended up in PR.
Adrian D’Hage was awarded a Military Cross for bravery in Vietnam.
He retired from the Army as a Brigadier.How does a decorated Vietnam veteran end up reduced to writing drivel like this, and using spelling that would shame a 5 year old, much less a tertiary trained senior military officer?
It’s either a pisstake or the port decanter went around the dinner table too many times at Chez D’Hage.
Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2005 10 29 at 05:47 AM • permalinkHmmm. Too quick off the mark. I note Webthing has fixed the spelling.
Did Adrian ring up and shout at the Margoyle?
Snide remark about Adrian’s spelling withdrawn. Snide remark about drivel remains.
Posted by Pedro the Ignorant on 2005 10 29 at 05:54 AM • permalinkDid anyeno grab a copy of the orgnial post befroe Magrok corektd it?
—NickPosted by The Thin Man Returns on 2005 10 29 at 07:04 AM • permalinkI can remember when the Nuclear Family was a figure of fun and derision. Lefties liked to run it down as a symbol of conservative straightjacketing of the left’s limitless potential for self-realisation and government funded arts wanks.
Focus has now narrowed to the Nuclear Suitcase. Like the pandemic, it is out there.
Whatever we do, we cannot outrun the suitcases. It’s virtual Checkmate. Quelle Luggage D’Hage! Give up now. Convert to Islam like that girl in Bali - by the way, does she realise that she cannot convert back after she’s paroled?
I’m backing the silos and the silent service in the ultimate grudge match with the suitcases.
As long as the USA has a President with balls.Meh, that whole nuclear bomb suitcases thing is a complete beatup. I was so incensed by the d’Hage’s ignorant fretting that I dashed out a blog post refuting his scaremongering.
Apologies for shameless self-promotion, but I reckon it’s quite interesting info.
Posted by James Waterton on 2005 10 29 at 11:52 AM • permalinkMargo may have corrected the spelling, but the grammar is still appalling.
Look at that third paragraph. What does the ‘reality’ of a nuclear suitcase threat have to do with the invasion of Iraq being ill-planned? What kind of inability to focus, lack of coherent thought and mental short-circuitry does this indicate? The whole letter is just a mess of weird random unsupported nonsensical babble. This is a PR guy? Whatever happened to ‘staying on message’? Or even having one?
(‘Buy my book’ followed by paragraph after paragraph of disjointed lunacy is not a message.)

Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 10 29 at 12:48 PM • permalinkMebbe we can hood up d’Hage with Wesley Clark and produce a race of super-stupid officers to sell to our enemies as advisors.
Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 10 29 at 01:51 PM • permalinkIs wrok what wronwright does?
Amazing that a guy with the rank of Broigadier can’t get his mind around the idea that there may be more than one threat in the world at the same time. Curious too that he doesn’t even notice that the US and Britain were allowing what was supposed to be food and medicine through to Iraq, but that it was Saddam who was misusing the funds and denying the Iraqis the benefits of the oil sales (with the connivance of the oh-so-sacred UN). In other words, he could not comprehend what was actually going on, with the evidence in front of him. Thank heavens he did not go any higher in rank with such intellectual inadequacies.
Posted by Michael Lonie on 2005 10 29 at 11:00 PM • permalinkJust out of interest how many of Margoks magical kingdom members are suckling on the flacid teat of government??
I know of at least one who supposed to be an Invalid pensioner, but still has the energy to run refugee campains non stop.
Anyone care to speculate??Posted by thefrollickingmole on 2005 10 30 at 08:21 PM • permalinkD’Hage was always off-centre - that’s why he was in PR - couldn’t do too much damage there to real soldiers.
Apparently he is now into wine making, so that may explained why his letter seemed to be written by a drunk.
I question his claims to being the lead planner for Sydney Olympics security. I trained guys and girls to do security in Sydney in 99/00 and his name doesn’t ring a bell. Maybe I was too far down the food chain.
