Exposed ! – The Bearded Blogger Behind The Dirty Tricks Campaigns
By Sarawak Report
Sarawak Report can reveal that a key orchestrator behind the dirty tricks campaigns that have been waged against Anwar Ibrahim, Gordon Brown and Sarawak Report is a ginger-bearded American blogger named Josh Trevino.
Trevino claims he was a speech-writer for George Bush and he is a founder of the popular Republican blog, Red State. His outspoken, far-right views have provoked controversy in the US, where he has been striving to make a name for himself via the internet.
Those provocative views are, however, unlikely to appeal to his Malaysian clients in BN, who, nevertheless, have clearly being paying him and his associates to defame their political enemies and boost their own publicity.
“My red hair and pale skin IS my passport!”
For example, many people found Trevino’s tirade against being forced to go through standard border checks particularly obnoxious. In a series of outbursts on Twitter he proclaimed that the US Border Patrol were “fools” and “bureaucrats” for bothering to look at his papers, because he was white.
He expressed his views with such offensive arrogance that the story provoked nearly 900 angry comments when it was reported in the online Huffington Post.
