IN what seems to be developing into a very public and acidic spat between two giants of electronic media, Raggie Jessy or The Third Force fires another blow to the Sarawak Report camp with the revelation of Clare Rewcastle Brown's murky, yet suppressed past.
For those who have sighted this aspect of her past life, it is worth a revisit. For those who hasn't, enjoy the revelation, in the well-crafted flowing style that The Third Force is known for by now.

EVIDENCE SURFACES THAT CLARE BROWN AND HUBBY STOLE TAXPAYERS' MONEY
The scandal was deemed by the British House of Commons as a deliberate act of criminal malfeasance on Gordon’s part and an abuse of position by a public official to receive gratification. Ms. Rewcastle took the heat off herself and her husband by gallantly defending Gordon, saying, “He definitely needed a cleaner when in London, and it was part of his expenses entitlement”.
REPORTED BY THE THIRD FORCE via MALAYSIA TODAY
The Third Force (TTF) is a propaganda blog, says Clare Rewcastle Brown.According to the Chief Editor of Sarawak Report, TTF “is not a news portal, but a habitually libellous propaganda blog that shouldn’t have been cited by any newspaper.” Ironically, this lady chose to air her fury via Free Malaysia Today (FMT), a Nelson Fernandez run portal that received RM12 million from John Soh between the years 2009 and 2014.
Even more ironical is the fact that the article was written by a Nawar Firdaws, an FMT columnist who was seen intimately dancing with the DAP’s Zairil Christopher in several photos at a drinking hole in the Hartamas area. Despite repeated claims by bloggers and freelance writers of the illicit love affair, FMT and the DAP remained tight lipped about the whole thing and went so far as to censor reports that even so much as mentioned Zairil’s name for several days.

Now, doesn’t this go a long way to show just how credibly and morally unsound FMT is? And is it just a coincidence that Nawar, having been accused of flirting with someone known to be a Lim Kit Siang apologist and stooge, was Ms. Rewcastle’s choice of a ‘journalist’ to take pot-shots at TTF?
But then, it is not as if the FMT editorial came as a ‘huge surprise’ to me.
After all, it takes one fake news portal to know another, which explains just why FMT religiously features claims made by Sarawak Report, including the infamous one where Ms. Rewcastle ‘mocked’ PAS president Dato’ Seri Abdul Hadi Awang for failing to sue her.
The said article, published by FMT on the 8th of April 2017, quoted the disgraced British journalist as saying that PAS failed to sue her despite threatening to do so. The Sarawak Report chief editor was referring to a letter of demand that Hadi’s United Kingdom (UK) lawyers issued her portal on the 13th of December 2016.
“They threatened to sue me within a week if I didn’t do lots of things in mid-December… but didn’t,” she said.
But she may have spoken too soon.
Nineteen days after that cocky and sarcastic jibe, Hadi got his lawyers to file a defamation suit against her and Sarawak Report at a High Court in London. The suit pertained allegations made by Sarawak Report that the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Dato’ Seri Najib Tun Razak, had solicited political favours from Hadi by offering the latter a RM90 million bribe.
Ideally, the suit should have been the ‘chance of a lifetime’ for Ms. Rewcastle to prove what she had been saying all along, that the Prime Minister of Malaysia was criminally perverse and morally corrupt, enough to offer bribes just to tighten his grip on government. Instead, she failed to offer the London Court even a shred of the “smoking gun evidence” she claimed to possess despite being given months to do so.
And that’s not all.
This lady, who “personifies herself to be the defender of truth and justice,” even had the cheek to tell the presiding judge that she ignored past letters sent by Hadi’s lawyers as none of the others she received ended in court battles. She made that bold yet reckless claim during a Case Management hearing on the 6th of August 2017 that was called to decide the amount Hadi needed to deposit with the court as security.
Now isn’t that tantamount to telling the judge that you’re a habitual delinquent?
And yet, she labelled my portal a “habitually libellous propaganda blog” that the mainstream media should keep a ten-foot pole distance from. Tell me, who is this white piece of trash to dictate terms to the Malaysian mainstream media? How can anyone trust a lady who conspired with her own husband to defraud British taxpayers of their hard-earned money between the years 2004 and 2006?

And that, my friends, is not fake news, but the legitimate findings of the British House of Commons as reported by The Telegraph on 8th of May 2009 (screen capture below). The British daily implied that the then Prime Minister of the UK, Gordon Brown, had abused his position in power by “paying his brother” using taxpayer money “for cleaning services at his private flat at Westminter.”

And just in case you are wondering who Gordon’s brother is, think no further – he is none other than Andrew Brown, Ms. Rewcastle’s partner in wedlock. According to the daily, receipts submitted by Gordon to the Parliamentary authorities disclosed that between 2004 and 2006, he paid Andrew £6,577 (worth some £21,000 by today’s standards) over 26 months just to clean his flat!
And if that isn’t enough evidence to convince you just how corrupt the Browns are, following is the cut-and-dry proof (also reproduced below) that will tell you the kind of trash this white spin-master of a journalist is:
