All of You Should Be Quite Ready for Tomorrow…..Mr. Morton…That Means You, AND the Premier…..
I spent the weekend trying to decompress from the previous week.
It didn’t work.
On Friday I received three separate calls from three very well-known members of the mainstream press in BC. Every one of them was appalled. They were still foaming at the mouth about a release sent out by the Premier’s favorite bubble gum girl, Sara the Chew, who proceeded to compile–completely out of context, several comments I’ve made on this blog about the Premier.
You see, in the Premier’s twisted world, when you can’t argue against a man’s word, you need to make it up as you’re going along. The problem being, is that during a press conference the day after I released David Basi’s shocking memo–wherein he fingers the Premier as a serial leaker of Cabinet level BC Rail intel to Erik Bornmann, and while Christy was still Deputy Premier, the Premier referred to me as “a liar.” This, of course, is actionable. Attacking me, apparently–and on a very personal level, will become job one. There will be no limits to the smear job.
Clark had a former CRTC-related pal, somehow get the attention of Corus/CKNW’s lawyers. They tried to intimidate CKNW into not having me on again with some drivel about content or endorsing all my work, etc. Pure nonsense. You see, after I appeared on the Jon McComb Show last week, and the Basi memo was also extensively covered by Simi Sara, this caused the Premier to go off like a rocket on one of her infamous tirades.
But they got nowhere, because CKNW will not be intimidated by Christy Clark.
On Twitter, the following two messages appeared on the account streams of two WELL-KNOWN Christy Clark leadership campaign workers (messages, which have now been removed):
“Alex the Greek is distraught since his wife left him. Would you want to wake up to that pig?”
“Tsakumis is full of it again with regards to Christy. He’s never been the same after his daughter’s bad ticker. Tsakumis’s a total mess and no one believes him.”
Now, apart from the fact that I’m Canadian and still married, it’s true, my youngest child, a daughter, was born with congenital heart disease. I’ve written about it extensively for the purpose of wishing no other parents would have to go through what Maryanna and I did, at least not without some comfort in knowing that a support group exists at Children’s Hospital and what a great group the Children’s Heart Action Network is. I’ve never once said otherwise, not that it hasn’t devastated and depressed me in the past. 1 in 99 sets of parents knows this pain, and we all work through it.
Think about what kind of an ASSHOLE, drags a man’s wife and child into the political realm. Imagine what kind of completely classless harridan (yes, Wrigley Sara, that means you) would take someone’s words totally out of context and pretext that as a reason for legitimate documents not to be believed. After all, Sara the Gummer, tells us that the documents “previously released” show that Christy Clark is indeed, “exonerated.”
Well, you’re going to see some of those very same documents tomorrow.
Although, I hear I’m in good company in being attacked by these dimwits.
Recently, at the annual convention of broadcasters of this province, the fools organizing that convention had the lack of judgment to invite Christy as their keynote speaker.
And she didn’t fail to disappoint. After some perfunctory fumbling (as is her trademark) Christy explained that she needed “your help” to get re-elected (meaning: the broadcasters need fall in line pronto.) And in case there was any confusion about what she demanded, Christy then proceeded to tear a strip off “problem” reporters, most notably, Global’s Jas Johal.
This, she claimed, was the reason for her bad polling.
Think about this: The Premier of the province was invited to speak to people who are responsible to cover her (I know, that’s bad enough). She rips them a new one and further rips into, arguably, the top reporter in the province–whose accomplishments include, in short order,too, an international portfolio of appearances on some of the most dangerous terrain on earth; including Arab battlefields a seasoned soldier would dread.
And only TWO of the broadcasting representatives walked out in protest (one, was the source for this bit of news).
But now, all is well. She’s hired Mike Morton, of BC Rail fame, who also stick-handled that file for Gordon Campbell while he was Premier.
Well, I’m being unfair.
Nothing’s well. Not after today. You see, I’ve compiled a list of documents I’d like you to look at over the next few days. Documents that are publicly “available”, but some in the media told you that they showed Christy Clark’s “innocence.”
Well, they lied. Thoroughly.
And others in the press have had them sitting around and didn’t lift a finger to go through them. That’s where your media is at.
I read almost 4,000 pages over the weekend–and I’m going to let YOU have a look. You be the judge. After all, consistent with what I have claimed all along, the Basi-Virk documents belong to you.
All of them.
Don’t they?
Um, Mr. Morton doesn’t think so. I’ll explain that first tomorrow. And then I’ll hit you with the triple whammy of documents that will leave you wanting to storm the Premier’s Office with pitchforks.
And certain media outlets with just as much ferociousness. Lying to the public isn’t EVER acceptable.
Anyway, no more riddles. Sleep well, and be quite prepared tomorrow, some time in the morning, to read of a case of possible obstruction of justice, and when there is a JUDICIAL inquiry (after seeing more documents, I’m convinced of it), that there shouldn’t also be an investigation into the RCMP investigation that led to charges against ONLY David Basi and Bob Virk. If the RCMP ignore evidence as they did when investigating this case, then they deserve every bit of criticism. Absolutely shameful.
So, Premier, enjoy the Interior, and the BBQ circuit–for at least one more night. And Mr. Morton, remember who drew first blood…you claim no one cares about a ten year old story. And you had the gall to go onto Sean Leslie’s show and pretend that the BC Rail matter is just a past myth? YOU OF ALL PEOPLE?
Does Room 088A mean anything? Remember?
We should ignore a ten year old scandal that’s never gone away??? That’s why you keep raising Adrian Dix’s memo and the fast ferries? Both of which were NOTHING compared to what you know happened with respect to BC Rail?
Good luck with that, Mike.
The Clarkite morons on twitter can attack me all they like.
But they cannot drag my wife into it and expect that I won’t retaliate, with a vengeance. I do what I do for the public’s benefit–for their right to know.
But one of yours mentioned my kid, Christy, and that’s unforgivable. You see, I’m not like you. I don’t use my kids as props. They’re off limits. Your pal should have NEVER mentioned my little girl.
Get it, Premier?
Because the only way I’ll stop now, is if you call for a judicial inquiry. I don’t want you to resign, Premier. I want you to stay right where you are.
I’m a liar? Okay, let’s see who the real liar is.
Until you call an inquiry, I’m going to punish you. You and any of your staff or supporters that pull the kind of disgraceful stunts like last week’s array of evil.
You think having a kid with heart disease is something to poke fun at?
I’m going to punish you without pause–mercilessly.
I won’t even sit between rounds.
You wanted some more quotes, Sara.
Better now that your derriere, as well, is in the crosshairs?
Let’s see how you and your pals feel by the end of this week.
For the rest of you…
STAY TUNED!
Just echoing previous sentiments here … utterly despicable to involve your family. just utterly despicable. Head up, shoulders back and once more into the breech. Fare well Alex!

If we had a similar poll on Crash Test Dummy, her minions & the LIEberals, I’m sure the results would be just as bad.

“I spoke to my lawyer about that, and believe it or not, considering the strength of my blog, depending just how many of my readers heaped abuses on them, I could end up in trouble! Imagine! Me in trouble!”
Ok fair enough.. Your hands are tied by your Counsel. .
Any other readers of this blog have any image-captures of the offending Twitter posts? If anyone can provide us with one of the twitter messages we should be able to find them.

Keep up the fight Alex; it is appalling that those in power would use such
low and vile tactics in their attack. Wives and children make any attack truly personal and vindictive…..disgusting! This group must have so very much to fear in using such methods….a new low on their part. I applaud your efforts to bring the truth to light….way to go!

Attacking a man through his family is beneath contempt, Christy and her gang act like the mean girls in some low budget school drama.
Even so I’m amazed that BC’s premier toe sucker (don’t ask, but feel free to delete on grounds of taste!) would not only accuse you directly of telling lies but also suggest that you’d interfered with her son’s application process. Anyone stupid enough to expose themselves in that way is really not fit for public office.

Thank you, David. And I’m sorry we haven’t had that cigar yet. I know it’s been months, but I’m just battling so many things right now, personally and professionally, that I’m running quite thin. Please forgive me. On the road again. Be well.

They are desperate. Publicly attacking your family is all they’ve got. They don’t have anything on you, they have no deniability regarding the documents you have, so they attack your wife and child. Pathetic. Please take care Alex. At this point I think these thugs are capable of anything.
[Translate]
So am I.

The truly interesting part… and what is most troubling to Christy…
is that they *don’t know* what documents you have!
And that keeps them squirming in their seats.
A death by a thousand cuts.

One dozen documents coming to you later today.
All from the Basi-Virk trial. All ignored by both the media and the RCMP.
YOU WILL BE FLOORED.

When drowning, one graps onto anything to stay afloat. Unfortunately, they chose to grab onto a very wrong thing – your family. This was to rattle you. Bad decision!
Alex – go get them! The truth is a bitter pill. Knock ‘em down with all this truth! We are so proud of you!

Alex,
Thank-you for your tireless unwavering truth, you are apparently being heard in high places…

Go get them Alex. We and two thirds of British Columbians are behind you. Expose theses contemptable polititions. Perhaps enough people will be informed enough to save our Province on May 2013. But from who? The NDP? the Liberals? the Conservatives? God Help Us

Attacking someone’s child for suffering from a serious illness just makes me sick to my stomach. How low will those poor excuses for human beings fall in their appalling disdain for morality, decency and basic compassion. They have proven many times over that they don’t have any creative power and, now, they’ve even run out of dirty tricks to inflict more destruction on this province and its population without being publicly scrutinised. This attack may be just the straw braking the camel’s back. I doubt MSM, in spite of their bias, will let this go unnoticed. What that bunch of criminals pretending to be government condones will soon blow straight in their faces with big stink and splash of crap of their own making. Sir, you show dignity, honesty and integrity. This crap will never stick to you, let alone your Family. They’ll eat it sooner than anyone expects. God bless!

I had a similar attack on my family- but from people representing the NDP, not the Liberals. Curiously, Tezporah Berman (of Forest Ethics) had a similar attack by the very same person! She once told me that the scariest thing she ever did was to criticize the NDP.

It seems that Canadian politics are dirty and ugly on all sides. The people need to know about this and they need to stand-up and not allow this to continue to happen…

complete lack of moral or ethical thought which seems to be the first thing looked for in any liberal these days in BC, tell us when to show up in Victoria with the pitchforks im in .

Alex, i have told you many time. the BC Liberals are nothing but a bunch of used car salesman and will go to no end to discredit anyone.
Did you not seen this when they were first elected…they blamed everything on the NDP government of the 90′s.
Ipsos reis’s new poll puts Crusty and the BC Lieberal parties disapproval rate at 67%.
no kidding, we needed a poll for this, we all knew they are skum.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

A new name comes to mind for these animals…..The Slug Slime Party.

Please, don’t offend the slugs …:)

Good on you Alex. Morton is an idiot. Wrote a ridiculously blinkered and stupid article in the globe about givers and takers …basically the 1% v 99%. Sickening in its oversimplification..omissions and elitism. He s a fool.
[Translate]
Alex, I can take a punch and I can take it well. Then it’s my turn and we’ll see how things turn out. But if someone attacks my family{my girls} they effed up hard!!. It is unfathomable to me that your family would be the target of the “mean girls.”
It’s bare knuckle now, buddy! Throw all your weight behind it.
We got your back!

Alex: I think you’re a bit generous using the word Asshole.
The wod itslef is very teame.
I prefer hemmoroid.
After all, biologically, an asshole does have its uses.
A hemmoroid just hangs around being a pain in the ass and crying for attenttion.
And like you – I can roll with all sorts of BS, but anyone touches my family is WWIII.
The Whitehorse Daily Star still has as part of their Header:
Illegitimus Non Carborundum
(Don’t Let The Bastards Grind You Down.)

Thanks, pal.

My Dear Alex: This is quite reprehensible. I personally have a friend whose child has congenital heart problems, and see them coping with love, dignity, and true human spirit. I also, as a paramedic, have dealt with families too numerous to mention who are in the same situation, and they are among the strongest and most beautiful people I have ever had the privilege to meet.
If you think this is out of line please delete it, but I have to call Christy Clark, Morton, and MacIntire cowards, bullies and liars of the highest possible degree. A Pox on all their houses, and we, the citizens of BC who still believe in right and wrong, should not rest until Clark is doing hard time along with all her criminal pals.
Take care of yourself, and your family. I have, as I said, met many families in your situation, and I am sure you deal with it with the same love and dignity. Blessings upon you and yours.
I also suspect that, if they made you mad their biggest mistake will be to piss your wife off, if she is as tough and true as mine. God Bless.

My wife’s Italian.
Definitely no a good woman to piss off.
But they’d have their biggest problem with me. Trust me.
