GumshoeNews.com was founded in 2013 by Dee McLachlan of Melbourne. She had not previously been a journalist or editor but “did time” as a filmmaker in South Africa, the US and Australia. The word “gumshoe” means a private eye, of the Sherlock Holmes type. In the Cambridge English Dictionary, “gumshoe” is defined as “a detective, someone whose job is to discover facts about a crime.” The etymology has to do with shoes that have a gum rubber sole and hence make a stealthy approach possible.

Dee McLachlan has worked in Hollywood. Her brain is pretty special. Like Temple Grandin, Dee “Thinks in Pictures.” (See Grandin’s book with that title.) Ms McLachlan is strongly motivated by the importance of free speech. She grew up under the apartheid regime of P.W. Botha and knows that, in a police state, everything is twisted by lack of commentary. I have heard her say that when you are forbidden to talk about “X,” you soon blot out the very existence of X in your consciousness.

“There’ll be no blotting out at GumshoeNews!”

Gumshoe’s Track Record of Identifying Subtle Issues and Famous Issues

Those of us who have been reading GumshoeNews.com for the last several years have been truly educated by it. Dee (aka Her Bossness) has always been fascinated by media, both the MSM — mainstream media — and the alternative press. And has she ever got a nose for the tricks of media, including their tricks of omitting important things.

Dee got her feet wet, in Gumshoe’s first two articles, by covering, in July 2013, the fact that Gen Wesley Clark had already, in 2008, predicted that the US would demolish Syria, and in September 2013, she pointed to the silence about Australia’s growing rate of autism.  The video she supplied for that day’s article has since been deleted from YouTube for “violating community standards.” Right.

I skip her first article of June 2013, as it was a mere ad for the six “Awaken” books she wrote for 8-year-olds. The subject matter of those books is still up-to-date (unfortunately!) predicting the global vax-plan. The books’ illustrations are right up there with Dr Seuss’s Green Eggs and Ham and can be purchased at Amazon, etc., or for actual books by writing to mclachlandee@gmail.com.

Soon enough, in 2013, Dee stumbled upon a 2006 video of me (Mary Maxwell) yelling at a news editor (at The Nashua Telegraph) for failing to tell people about the potential for N-war. It was love at first sight. Dee invited me to send stuff to Gumshoe, I declined but in December I was so furious at the arrogance of the High Court’s trying to un-do the already legalized gay marriages in the Australian Capital Territory, that I penned my first Gumshoe article. That was the first of more than a thousand — ah, the years rush by, don’t they?

A Dozen Articles with Dee McLachlan’s Perspective

Dee tries to keep readers alerted to the latest developments, but she often notices things that others don’t. (For the last few years she has spent enormous amounts of energy working behind the scenes on child abduction (protection) issues, and this work cannot be published.) However, here I will reminisce on a dozen things that come to mind.  Undoubtedly there are many more of this type.

First, I mention the fact that, during the time of our shock over the number of judges sending children to live with the parent that had abused them, Dee decided to run a survey. She asked Australians to answer questions about their court experience and how the system handled children that had disclosed sexual abuse. Naturally the statistics were biased, as it was not a random survey but a group of 72 self-selected repliers. Still, within that group, it was startling as to how the mums reported that the child was often believed (in his/her claim of abuse) by the doctor, the grandmother, and others but not by the judge or the ICL (independent children’s lawyer).

Second, there was Dee’s early observation of the fact that smart meters, placed in homes instead of the usual electricity meters, were causing headaches, tinnitus, and other symptoms. Then, when she looked further at the rollout of this technology, she discovered that Victoria’s Parliament had abdicated its authority to the industry. That is how it is possible for Victorians to be forced to replace their meter with a smart meter.  If you saw either of these two facts — the headache or the abdication — discussed in the Sydney Morning Herald, do let me know.

Third, remember the Bela Vista incident? That’s the name of a part of Sydney where an Oz Navy man said he had been beaten, while in uniform, by “two Middle Eastern looking men.”He went to the police station to report it, but Dee wasn’t having it.  She jumped on the news that federal Parliament that very day was voting on some new anti-terrorist nonsense. Such legislation did indeed pass, under the whip of George Brandis, what a creep, and by the next day the allegation of the Navy man evaporated.  I mean the Navy man himself evaporated. Dee called that station and was told that the facts were in question. There was no Bela Vista attack.  Do send me a story about that from The Age, if you can find one.

Fourth, we turn to the Blue Man. You recall the three silvery Commonwealth cars that assisted in this eye-catching event? Do you recall that Mr Donut (Jimmy Gargasoulas) seems to have been told by a man in a blue jumper — the Blue Man — when to proceed into the road to Bourke Street? The Editor of Gumshoe made a big deal of it, having received a tip from a commenter. Poor old Gargasoulas was “tried” and convicted for murder-by-car, with never a peep about the three silvery cars. Never a peep in the official record.  But we’ve got the peep.

Fifth, Dee interviewed former prime minister Malcolm Fraser in his office in Melbourne. She had read his 2014 book, Dangerous Allies, and wanted to pin down his objection to Australia following US foreign policy. This was possibly Fraser’s last interview; he died in March 2015.

Sixth, back to child stealing.  The MSM told Australians that Dr Russell Pridgeon was arrested by the AFP, Australian Federal Police, for …um … I can’t remember how they dared phrase it.  Basically, kidnapping, stealing.  You’re damn right he kidnapped.  He had written to the minister asking her to assist these children, and that he had helped hide two children from a cruel father. The police seemed to be actively supporting the abuser. Ms McLachlan was there in a tick, to take a statement from the said “criminal.”  Do you recall she printed a photo of the ankle-bracelet Dr Pridgeon was required to wear?  Excuse me I have to get off this topic, I am getting too over-heated.

Seventh, let’s turn to Oz’s most famous case of false flag, gun control, wanton murder of its own ASIO men, lack off due process for an accused, etc:  PAM, the Port Artur Massacre. I take a bit of credit here.  In 2015, when writing a play for the Fringe Festival in Adelaide, I felt that I was giving too much ink to American capers, especially 9-11, the death of Harry Chapin, etc. I had been ignorant of “PAM,” so looked it up for Fringe material. I found that the patsy of the day, Matin Bryant, allegedly had an IQ of 66. Dee twisted things around (more or less on stage in Adelaide) such that it was the gatekeeper at Risdon who had the 66 IQ.  Some Flinders Law students told the gatekeeper that Bryant had to be released and he let them out. Years later, Dee made a ten-minute film to show everyone what really happened on the 28th of April in Ninety Six.

Eighth, Ivermectin.  In 2020, Gumshoe got onto the chicanery of the Covid pandemic quicksmart.  Dee saw the forced treatments of patients unlucky enough to have ended up in hospital.  Then she raised Cain about the Australian doctor, Thomas Borody, MD, who was trying to show that Ivermectin was a safe cure for the symptoms. The suppression of him went beyond the usual silent treatment from media — including doctors like Dr Kory, whose testimony to a hearing of the US Senate got taken down! I imagine some patients in Australia had their lives saved by Dee McLachlan’s persistence.

Ninth, while the rest of the world spoke of the investigation of the crash of Malaysian Flight MH 17 as though it were somehow sincere,  Dee had the goods almost from Day One. That’s because of G5, and Gumshoer Christopher Brooks, a dairy farmer in Goulburn. Brooks had contacted a local minister, as 28 Aussies were killed in that crash. Miraculously, a secretary gave him a document, by mistake, that openly showed how Australia had agreed, before the investigation, to not reveal whatever the investigation came up with. Now that’s what I call investigating!

Tenth, I have not yet mentioned Dee’s insistence in the importance of “Building Seven” at New York’s World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. But in order to keep this list mostly-Australian I point instead to the fuss she made over a talk-back radio show at the ABC, hosted (if that’s the right word) by Jon Faine. A man named Kevin Bracken, officer at the Trade Union, rang in to talk about 9-11. Faine shut him up. Dee went troppo. I imagine if it weren’t for her going on and on (and on) about it (for months), the inappropriateness of Faine’s handling of 9-11 — on talk radio — would have gone quite unnoticed.

Eleventh, the fourth item, above, was about the Blue Man. I now must credit Dee with an additional scoop, regarding that day of the Bourke St rampage. Dee noticed that on the balcony overlooking Swanson Street, a government press conference was talking place. That meant that Media could have a nice view of Jimmy Gargasoulas’s car heading for trouble. “Hmm,” thought Dee, “how convenient.”  She got on the phone, asking for an explanation. Was told that the press conference was about homelessness. The Gargasoulas affair remains an open question in my mind — we were not able to devote resources to it. (Please get in touch if you have info.)

Twelfth: On October 6, 2021, Dee rode her high horse, so to speak, into St Kilda, a district of Melbourne, to say “Enough already” regarding the sins of the health department.  I quote her:

Today, I went to my local police station to put in a complaint against the Chief Health Officer and spoke to a young police officer at the St Kilda branch. What a pleasure it was to speak to a most respectful and educated young officer (Officer Vishnu). Below is my statement:  “REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION INTO PROFESSOR BRETT SUTTON. As a member of the public I am making a police complaint against Professor Brett Sutton, Victoria’s Chief Health Officer….” By the way, it was not really a horse she rode.

Comedy. Speaking of Dee’s ability to satirize, here are three stories reduced to laughs:

A. The search for Jahar Tsarnaev swapping his milk purchase less than 20 minutes after he bombed everybody,

B. The G20 garbage truck

and C. Dee’s favorite 911 topic — Building 7:

Three is not the limit, there are plenty more of Dee’s one-of-a kind satires and serious stuff.  Old-hat Gumshoers are cordially invited to supply some of their faves in the Comments.

More Bio:  Dee graduated from Cape Town with an honors degree in botany (of all things).  Her movie The Jammed won the Best Picture in Australia for 2007 — it was presciently about human trafficking of Asian women to Melbourne. Several years ago Ms McLachlan coordinated with the “Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth” group, since she analyzed for them the account of human bones that were found on the roof of a building near the WTC.  (How does that connect to Botany?)

Gumshoers are luckier than they realize to have such an energetic person at the helm. And I am damn lucky to have her intellectual companionship on the old Alexander Graham Bell, despite the hemispheric time differences being a pain in the neck.
