JEFFREY PAUL DELISLE IS CAUGHT UP IN A NAVY ESPIONAGE SCANDAL

Who gets the best party tickets at the Olympics? Nations with the best water supplies, food and oil and gas. For good measure, nations with the best gossip too. Here’s one of those tales.

So, over my hardy, stodgy porridge breakfast, I learn that New Zealand is juggling an espionage scandal as well as trying to solve our unemployment sector. I don’t know how we do it, but we take it all in our stride?

Anyway the espionage scandal involves Canadian naval officer Jeffrey Paul Delisle, who allegedly while on government pay roll, decided to be like Facebook, Twitter, Apps (and other social media companies). Shock horro! He traded secrets to another government. Namely Russia. Well say this isn’t so?!.

Although world leaders love getting on their phones everyday and yapping secrets to each other all over the world, the matter is being taken very seriously by people who have to justify a security industries spend portfolio.

In New Zealand the very serious matter sounds like this:

“Jeffrey Paul Delisle is accused of selling intelligence gathered by the US, Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia to Russian agents over the last five years.” Um, did he bring back a better vodka recipe from Serbia for our combined trouble? If not, than he wasn’t a very good spy then was he.

Spying is supposed to be about trade and early recommends to make the wealthy rich and ensure they turn up to party conventions as VIP guests. Obtaining this kind of secret information early makes the wealthiest citizens of the world feel more secure (eg: the security industries gig in part). We have the best potatoes in New Zealand too, so Jeffrey Paul Delisle better have produced that new vodka recipe. Geez! What did the people get out of it?!

In regards to the espionage scandal, everyone is horrified. Read that here.

In New Zealand our PM arranges Russian bride visas when he’s not too busy, especially for his buds from Christchurch. We also have MP’s who adopted Russian children, so we are quite a bit Russian here. We are not anti-Russian at this point. We have cool new citizens in the city I live in from Russia, who arrived in New Zealand because our PM is not shy of sharing information… in good ways playing Russia-Kiwi cupid. He makes it happen for his loyalty base, apparently. But he’s not like Julian Assange or Jeffrey Paul Delisle. According to the news story that is very serious – Australia’s Julia Gillard is not like Jeffrey Paul Delisle either. Repeat, not like Jeffrey Paul Delisle either.

Incidentally, life expectancy for people in Serbia, due to extreme cold conditions is 55 to 60 years of age. But Jeffrey Paul Delisle never told us how lucky we have it in New Zealand, Australia, Canada and some other nations. Food for thought.

When I lived in Little Russia in the USA, American Russian-Jews were the worst gossips out. They love it. Go figure! They were all just little boys who grew up wanting to be Scottish like Sean Connery or something. Most of them have never been to Scotland though. Maybe they should?! Work it out of their systems?

In addition, Oskar Schindler was a spy in his day. Not all spies are like Dr Evil in the spy industry. Paul just sounded selfish if you want to read more into the story. Or not. People most highly likely to get caught up in espionage while being on governent’s payroll, thus double dipping as they go, are the wannabe-billionaire types. Just because the millions get stale after a while, so espionage gives a false currency to have a go at the billions. It’s all over-rated I reckon. Just enjoy your family and be content with what you have is what spies need to work out in such secret squirrelling games.

Right. Moving on.
