The Dreghorn Conspiracy; Alex Salmond accuser rushes to tell BBC Reporter Glenn Campbell that the Holyrood inquiry ' is more traumatic than High Court trial', as the heat turns up on Nicola Sturgeon, up pops a Salmond accuser, is this an SNP coincidence, this however is one 'Lady Di' tribute act interview that will convince no one, dark clothing, speaking low, messages on point, remember what Woman H said, “I have a plan so that we can remain anonymous but see strong repercussions” is that the kind of thing a person might hear about in a conspiracy?

Dear All 

The Trial of Alex Salmond, Part 3, yes, having failed to stitch up Alex Salmond in an illegal Scottish Government investigation, having then proceeded to try for a second bite at the cherry via a criminal trial, we are now in Part 3. If this scandal was a trilogy, we would be calling it, Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult. It seems that Alex Salmond's alleged plotters are back to try and fire another bullet at his head. In their first attempt, their allies in the Scottish Government showed poor gun handling skills resulting in a negligent discharge. After reloading, they then failed to send rounds down range to hit the target. In the latest attempt, having had their 'weapons' taken off them, they are reduced to fire blanks. You can also hear their madness as they wave their 'pop gun' about screaming, 'I've got a gun, and I am going to use it'! I don't know why, but the press are still entertaining this nonsense that the 'alphabet women' are somehow victims. Well, in front of a jury of their peers, mostly comprising of women, their 'stories' were shredded, they weren't believed, and they never secured a single conviction against Alex Salmond. 

In political circles and the press, the identity of everyone of the 'alphabet women' is known, what most of the general people don't know is their identity and how close they are to Nicola Sturgeon. These women aren't victims, they 'self id' as victims, which if they didn't have a court order protecting them, they would be ridiculed openly. When I first heard of the allegations against Alex Salmond, I was shocked, but my initial reaction was not to believe the allegations. As I and everyone else continued to read what transpired, the more and more my gut feeling said this was a 'work up'. For nearly a decade, I blogged how the SNP was run as a 'rat ship', and I said eventually the 'rats' would turn on each other. If the Salmond scandal is about anything, it is about this very thing. I blogged on how the SNP was a 'rat ship', I blogged on how the SNP Government is corrupt, I blogged on how SNP Leader Nicola Sturgeon was a horrible nasty individual, who couldn't be trusted and shouldn't be trusted. I was of course, mocked, abused, had the SNP attack dogs set on me, called all sorts of names, had mega abuse thrown at me which ended up in Court. Here we are in 2021, the very people who mocked me, abused me, hated my guts, and even one guy said of me and my blog, 'George Laird is a genuine cunt'. Of course, I see this as genuine praise now, because these people are effectively now saying what I previously did. 

And just for the record, no one came along to say, 'sorry, we got it wrong about you'. 

The SNP is a 'rat ship'. 

So, here we are at Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult, the trial using media, from 'self id' victim aka Salmond accuser. One of the women who made sexual assault allegations against Alex Salmond has decided in the wake of things going bad for Nicola Sturgeon to come to her aid. So, to highlight their main points, they are saying: 

1/ They are a victim (jury didn't believe that)

2/ They are "upset" (because the plot failed?)

3/ They want to remind people that Alex Salmond is guilty (No, he really isn't)

4/ They want you swallow their media crafted piece by claiming they are a women's champion (No, they really aren't)

5/ They want to smear the members of the Salmond Inquiry (that would be pro UK MSPs) 

What the BBC doesn't point out is which member of the 'alphabet women' this is, because some of them are well versed in media manipulation tactics. 

This, 'I am a victim' interview is rather clumsy in my opinion, but you have to remember, the Salmond verdict left the 'alphabet women' with nothing. They are like a kid in a primary class room trying to construct a head using a balloon, water, wallpaper paste, newspapers and paint. The end result wouldn't end up on a movie set as a prop, just something to take home to show the family. In the absence of real evidence, we have emotional constructed pap from her, to attempt to rope you in by saying the inquiry is making it "significantly harder" for women to come forward with complaints. Is the Inquiry at fault? Is the Salmond jury at fault? Is the Scottish Government at fault? Is the Crown Office at fault? Is Police Scotland at fault? You see for the most part, Salmond's accuser misses out the bulk of these people so she can home in on a specific group. Just as she was specific in complaining about Alex Salmond, she wants to point her finger and apportion blame. You see 4 pro UK MSPs want to get to the truth of how the Scottish Government attempted to rig their process to find Alex Salmond guilty. 

So, why does she have any objection to that taking place? 

Is this alphabet woman, thinking that accusation equals guilt? 

Is she saying that it's okay to rig an illegal process to 'get' someone but since it failed, we really shouldn't talk about it? 

I wonder how a reporter like Glenn Campbell could sit and listen to this nonsense, could just sit there and not push back? When Campbell asked did you speak to other accusers, she deflected the question, and he let her away with it. What happened to the days of proper investigative journalism? Do you remember the glory days of 'World in Action', 'Panorama', and 'Weekend End', it appears that this 'alphabet woman' gets a free pass to spew because they have pulled out their #metoo pass. So, as well being a 'false victim', a defender of women's rights, we get treated to a glimpse of their mental state, get this, the 'ongoing Holyrood inquiry into the saga has been more traumatic in many ways than the criminal trial.' Is it more traumatic because after a jury found Alex Salmond to be not guilty, the spotlight now has shifted onto her? Let's face it, although there is a court order, some of the 'alphabet' women are known to the ordinary public. People know who these women are, what these women did, and they know the part played by the SNP in this stitch up of an innocent man. So, let's get a sense what some people are saying about the Salmond Affair. 

Neil Mackay of All Under One Banner tweeted: 

"These proven false-victims of Alex Salmond are continuing to perpetrate their vendetta, bolstered by their allies in the Scottish Govt and COPFS, and platformed by the Anti-Indy Media." 

Some people might say, Neil is talking about a conspiracy. 

Denise Findlay tweeted: 

"Worth remembering that despite a 22 strong team, 700 interviews of 400 women. Not a single ordinary SNP member came forward with a complaint #JusticeForAlexSalmond". 

We know that both the Police and SNP did a trawling operation in order to attempt to find victims, the police investigation is a matter of record, the SNP trawling operation hasn't received the publicity it deserves.  

Findlay also tweeted:  

"So the women are using anonymity and continuing with the political smears. That is not the purpose of anonymity. They women had their day in court. Alex Salmond was a victim of ‘an unlawful and biased process’. He is the inky ‘victim’ here. #JusticeForAlexSalmond". 

One has to why, in the light of information leaking out all over the place, why now attack the Committee? Why not before, well the Spectator case makes it possible for the Salmond Inquiry to publish Salmond's evidence on the record. On the record matters because before that Nicola Sturgeon was gung ho for appearing in front of the Salmond Inquiry. In the wake of the Spectator case, she is postponing her evidence. You have to ask yourself why is she doing this? Could a reason be that her story to the Inquiry now requires to be changed? It is my firm view that Nicola Sturgeon should go before Alex Salmond. After all, what has she got to hide? If her evidence to the Inquiry hasn't changed,  why postpone? 

Since the 'alphabet woman' can't attack the evidence with counter fact, are we to be surprised that instead she is attacking the Committee? Attacking the messenger is a well known tactic deployed to distort the truth, some call it, 'playing the man instead of the ball'. She accuses members of the committee have taken the experiences of the women and "exploited them for their own self-serving political interests". What about the 4 SNP MSPs and Andy Wightman, what is her opinion of them, does she think the Sun shines out of their rear end? 

Why aren't the 4 SNP MSPs asking the difficult questions? 

The 'alphabet woman' said: 

"It is utterly absurd to suggest that nine women could be persuaded to lie to the police, to perjure themselves in court." 

Is it? 

Is it any more absurd that the Scottish Government being corrupt? 

Is it any more absurd that the Crown Office being corrupt? 

The SNP Government has hampered the Salmond Inquiry at least 60 times in the course of its remit to find the truth. Adam Tomkins has calls it right when he tweeted about the SNP: 

"They’re a tainted party and a tainted government. Now the SNP are trying to taint the election, too. The stench of corruption in Sturgeon’s Scotland grows." 

Given the 'alphabet woman' is attempting to portray herself as a 'Champion of women's rights', we have to ask, why is she so silent about this? Well, the reason could be is that she has hitched her star to the SNP bandwagon, or one of her relatives has hitched their star to the SNP. Why do people hitch their star to the SNP bandwagon, well it could they are getting something out of it. So, what does this 'alphabet woman' get out of it? Or are we to believe that they are just a "concerned" citizen? 

Her piece that effectively those serving on the committee are basically just dirty bastards is somewhat enlightening, because it just reeks contempt. Note how she covers all her bases during this interview. She has to get in key buzzwords and hooks which tends to suggest there is a possibility that she is media trained or worked in that field. To recap what she is trying to plant in your mind: 

1/ She is a victim (jury didn't believe that)

2/ She is "upset" (because the plot failed?)

3/ She says effectively that Alex Salmond is guilty (No, he really isn't)

4/ She is a women's rights champion (No, she really isn't)

5/ She want to smear the members of the Salmond Inquiry (that would be pro UK MSPs) 

Just as timing in comedy is everything, it seems that timing in smearing is also crucial. There is another notable thing to mention as well, time, there will come a time when there will be a change of government. There will come a time when a pro Salmond regime takes over the SNP, if that regime is in government, there may have 'unfinished' business with many people who were involved with the Salmond saga. All the mechanisms currently protecting the guilty will be removed. Sturgeon and her gang won't be around to protect them, in fact you could opine that just as the SNP Government came after Alex Salmond, the same legal processes could legally done to them. I doubt that they will go the way of discredited fit up internal investigation, but certainly criminal investigations might prove useful. Sometimes, a sledgehammer is needed to crack a nut. So, if any of the 'alphabet women' have anything to say, now is a good time to spill your guts. I wouldn't place my future in the hands of Nicola Sturgeon, because she has already shown her true colours. If Sturgeon is willing to betray her mentor and alleged friend of 30 years, you know all you need to know about her loyalty to people. And she is already apparently looking for an exit as mentioned by others! 

Finally, remember this text message when someone says there was no conspiracy in the Salmond scandal: 

“I have a plan so that we can remain anonymous but see strong repercussions”. This is the text message from Ms H.

Some people it seems aren't very good at remaining anonymous.
