Late last night, a statement was issued in the name of the press secretary to the Prime Minister – the latest proof of the desperate straits of the highly-expensive UMNO/BN Strategic Communications machinery which completely went haywire, even sabotaging Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor’s carefully choreographed propaganda campaign, as a result of US Department of Justice (DOJ) kleptocratic suits expanding their forfeiture targets of 1MDB-linked assets from US$3.5 billion to US$4.5 billion of 1MDB money-laundering scams through American banks.
The statement that was issued last night returned to baseless, ridiculous and even outrageous personal attacks on me – after I had virtually been forgotten in the past ten days following the expanded US DOJ kleptocratic suits to increase forfeiture of 1MDB-linked assets from US$1 billion to US$1.7 billion, including the gifts of US$27.3 million 22-carat pink diamond necklace and 27 different 18-carat gold necklaces and bracelets worth US$1.3 million to the “wife of MALAYSIAN OFFICIAL 1” – apart from multi-million US dollar gifts to American actor Leonardo diCaprio and Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr by 1MDB “mastermind” Jho Low misappropriating stolen 1MDB billions.
After the shocking third series of US DOJ kleptocratic suits on June 15, which showed that the DOJ had not been dormant or inactive in the past 11 months since the initial filing of kleptocratic suits against 1MDB-linked assets in July 2016, Rosmah’s handlers had painstakingly crafted a propaganda campaign to insulate her from “attacks and false allegations”, with her lawyers in the law firm of NoorHajran Mohd Noor announcing that Rosmah’s lawyers are “closely monitoring all postings appearing on any social media platforms and other forms of publications in relation to false and malicious attacks” against her, warning of “legal action without further notice”.
But all these carefully orchestrated plans to insulate Rosmah from the “gathering storm” from the third series of DOJ suits were destroyed by none other than the Director of Barisan Nasional Strategic Communications, Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan himself who, in his typical bravado which made him the only person to tell an BBC interview last September that “MO1” is none other than the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, opened up public questioning on the receipient of Jho Low’s gift from stolen 1MDB funds for the US$27.3 million 22-carat pink diamond necklace after Abdul Rahman’s second admission that “the wife of MO1” is Rosmah.
Only Abdul Rahman know what game he is up to when he admitted that “MO1” is Najib and “wife of MO1” is Rosmah, something which no one else in Cabinet or Barisan Nasional dare to admit!
But there can be no doubt that the UMNO/BN strategic propaganda campaign were in sixes and sevens, despite the UMNO/BN propagandists and cybertroopers working overtime to concoct lies, falsehoods, fake news and false information so that these lies and fake news about the DOJ suits would be the No. 1 topic among Malaysians during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri “balik kampong” season.
It would be interesting for opinion polls to establish which topic dominated the conversation during the Hari Raya Aidilfitri “balik kampong” season – whether the fact of the US$23.7 million 22-carat pink diamond necklace or the fiction of “foreign intervention” in the DOJ suits!
The desperation and bankruptcy of the “strategic” UMNO/BN cybertroopers could be seen from the blatant lies they concocted, for instance, the downright lie by the BN BackBackbenchers Council (BNBBC) portal claiming that the US$27.3 million (RM116 million) pink diamond necklace purchased by Jho Low for “wife of MO1” was never mentioned in the US Department of Justice third civil forfeiture suit on 1MDB, and that that it was a concoction by news portal Malaysiakini – a bald-faced lie, fake news and false information which are still available on the BNBBC after being exposed for the past week!
Now the UMNO/BN “strategic” propagandists and cybertroopers are back to attack me with lies, fake news and false information, virtually painting me as “Master of the Universe” – who controls Datin Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, Mohamad Sabu, Tan Sri Muhyiddkin Yassin, Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and even the foreign governments including United States, Australia, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Singapore, Luxemboug to topple Najib and the UMNO/BN government.
Recently, the “strategic” UMNO/BN propagandists and cybertroopers believed that they have suceeded in creating a scenario where Najib is “unsinkable” in the forthcoming 14th General Elections, but somehow, in their heart of hearts, they themselves do not believe this scenario and fear that Najib is “sinkable” after all in the next general election whether held this year or next.
