Family of Anti-Islam Filmmaker Joins Him in Hiding

Family members of the California man who wrote and produced the controversial anti-Islam film "Innocence of Muslims" fled their home early Monday morning to join the filmmaker in hiding.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula has not returned to his Cerritos, California home since being interviewed late Friday night by federal probation officers about his role in the creation of the film, excerpts of which have ignited violent anti-American protests across the Muslim world.

Shortly before 4 a.m. Monday, officers from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department escorted members of Nakoula's family, who had their faces covered, out of the house and into police vehicles so they could rejoin Nakoula at an undisclosed location.

"They decided they would be safer where they could move about and live a normal life," said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Department. "All we did was pick them up and reunite them with Mr. Nakoula."Read more.

How Bad Is It for Romney? You Decide

POSTED BY JOHN CASSIDY

The New yorker

This being the Jewish New Year, a time for reflection, I’m going to heed the calls of some of our more conservative readers and refrain from passing another negative judgment on my old pal Mitt Romney. Instead, I’ll merely pass along ten headlines from the weekend. Once you’ve read and digested them, there’s a little multiple-choice test.

1. “POLL FINDS OBAMA IS ERASING ROMNEY’S EDGE ON ECONOMY” (New York Times, 9/14). From the beginning, the best thing Romney has had going for him is a widespread perception that he would do a better job than President Obama in handling the economy and creating jobs. As recently as July, a CBS News/New York Times poll showed him with an eight-percentage-point lead on this key issue, which has now been erased. According to the latest CBS/Times survey, fifty per cent of respondents said that Obama would do a better job handling the economy, and just forty-four per cent said Romney. Among “likely voters,” Obama’s lead was smaller—one point rather than six—but still.

2. “ROMNEY AT RISK OF LOSING EDGE ON DEFICIT” (Washington Post, 9/16). In most polls, the budget is just about the only other issue where Romney has held an advantage. In an April ABC News/Washington Post poll, for example, he held a whopping lead of seventeen percentage points—fifty-four to thirty-seven—on the question of who would handle the deficit better. But in the most recent ABC/Post poll, that lead has narrowed to just three points. Other polls show a similar trend.

Sarawak Report:The Bitching And Ranting Of A Sore Loser

Hantu Laut

Why don't you screw your own government for not listening to your demand, or better still screw the royal couple for bringing shame to your country.

William and Kate have also visited Soloman Islands which had suffered serious environmental damage and degradation of its forests due to unsustainable and illegal logging activities and corruptions, but you are completely silent on the Solomon but keep barking like a mad dog at Sabah and Sarawak Chief Ministers with your skewed and twisted political agenda.

Are you really concerned about the environment or you have prostituted yourself to the Malaysian oppositions. The answer is obvious.

You have put pen to paper but did not pen your name to the story.

Ain't, life a bitch ! When you have to hide behind the face of anonymity, pretending and deceiving people into believing that you are an accredited news portal, ostensibly you are not,  you are merely a blog with one political agenda.....placarding Sabah and Sarawak Chief Ministers with lies, half-truths and untruths for the sake of the oppositions.

Read the endless bitching of an English woman who has made Malaysian politics her regular meals.

Sabah Trip Goes Tits Up!

A story about topless sunbathing has dominated international coverage of the William and Kate Sabah trip.

It means the destruction of the jungle of Borneo, caused by corruption in Malaysia’s highest political circles, has been ignored in favour of a lot of fuss about a ‘Peeping Tom’ photographer.

One person who will be relieved is Chief Minister Musa Aman.  Sabah may not have got the international attention it might have, but then nor did his corrupt practices.

William and Kate were whisked to a canopy walk in Danum Valley, where they also photographed captive orang utans, and then whisked away again.

Thanks to the destruction of most of Sabah’s natural heritage that is all most tourists get to do in Sabah anyway.

The UK’s Guardiannewspaper had reflected on the situation in Sabah earlier in the week, drawing attention to the concerns that the Royal visit would do less to help save what is left of Borneo than bolster the corrupt regime of the greedy man who has been driving the deforestation.

The top international NGO Global Witness likewise has condemned the visit and asked Prince William to consider the real causes of deforestation, which is the corruption of ministers.Read more.

Sarawak Report, your trusted source of lies, untruths and falsifications.

Anwar:Another Mother Of All Lies!

Hantu Laut

Happy Malaysia Day!

Let's rewind back to 16 Sept 2008 the day the nation was told the mother of all lies, the formation of a new Federal government by Anwar Ibrahim through what he claimed massive defection of MPs from BN, mostly from Sabah. 

Today, exactly four years later, another mother of all lies is being told by the same man, a promise to the Labuan people to build a bridge from mainland Sabah to Labuan, if PR takes Putrajaya. The story here. 

You don't have to be a genius to conclude that building a bridge is not a viable proposition. Labuan is only 87.52 Km2 with a population of around 60,000 people and one-third of the population transients. 

What kind of economic output that Labuan is likely to produce to justify such huge capital investment which cannot generate sufficient traffic to generate reasonable rate of return. At current cost of construction the bridge pay back period would be well over 100 years. That money have better use upgrading Sabah poor road infrastructure than serving the interests of a little dot in the sea and 60,000 inhabitants that lack resourcefulness. 

He promised the people of Labuan on his recent visit there and brought along with him a long lost son of Labuan who looks as alien as a Martian to the Labuan people, to be a PR candidate for Labuan in the 13th GE as reported here. 

Menudin seated right next to Anwar looking uneasy.

Can Ibrahim Menudin win Labuan for Anwar? 

........but with Anwar you'll never know, it may be Menudin today and someone else tomorrow.

Menudin, has one disadvantage, not many people in Labuan know he is from Labuan considering his long hiatus from the island.
