"I tweeted the following, in a discussion with someone else:
@jeamland mr landeryou has some history on wikipedia. (i did the sockpuppet investigation.)
Mr Landeryou saw fit to send me a threat for this:
From: Andrew Landeryou &editor@vexnews.lt;com> To: dgerard@gmail.com
Mr Gerard,
I am told you made reference to me in your musings on Twitter. I don't know you, would rather not have to become familiar with who you are and what on Earth possessed you to comment so freely about me or to edit Wikipedia to say absurd things about me.
Your entitled to your opinion of me but I think it might be best for you to discuss claims you make about me with me first. If you don't, I'll promise to return the favour after an investigation into exactly what ails you. And that really would be a waste of time for me and a very unpleasant outcome for you, so I urge you to Twit more carefully in future.
Yours sincerely
Andrew Landeryou
I look forward to an exchange involving pie charts.
p.s.: if you don’t want your months-long-running Wikipedia shenanigans remembered, it helps not to have done them. Oops, too late."
Team Slanderyou has obtained an exclusive picture of the resident of the Vexnews fat cave.
The resident wanted to remain anonymous. Our photo journalist was requested to photograph him/her/it wearing funny glasses and moustache so as to obscure their identity. Right click into a new window/tab to view the picture in full.
Patriots may wish to guess the identity of the resident.
The photograph reveals a horrifying medical experiment in progress. The fat cave resident is trying valiantly, it must be said, to become the fastest person on the planet.
Team Slanderyou is taking a sabbatical through November, and will return in early December. TS may Twitter occasionally, so please view our Tweets.

This morning, online spivery malware site Vexnews is spinning a 'how-to' story about Betfair and other online gambling businesses.
Online spivery master Andrew Landeryou reveals an in depth knowledge of online spivery.
As a policy we don't provide links through to Vexnews, for fear of liability if readers click through to Vexnews and their computers are inevitably infected with malware. Read Vexnews at your own risk.
Vexnews, in website ratings jargon, has got the ARSE – ‘absolute ratings shocker extinction’.
The September readership ratings for Vexnews have just been released.
The number of unique visitors to Vexnews was only 162, as compiled by independent website audience measurement provider SiteAnalyser. With September having 30 days, that represents just over 5 readers per day. Patriotic readers would recognize the five: Cat Cait, Catter 8, Henderson Ross, Shirley, and Andrew Landeryou.
The low figure indicates a catastrophic collapse in monthly readership totals for Vexnews. The figures for August were 457.
Patriots, it looks like, at the very last minute, Vexnews' registration was renewed until 25 September 2010.
In other developments, editor and former inmate Andrew Landeryou has shifted his operation to Sturt in South Australia. Is Sturt the new hotbed for online spivery?
It was a close run thing. Without registration, Vexnews would have been an illegal blog.Landeryou is photographed here in happier times, fresh from Solomon Lew's funded holiday in sunny Costa Rica.
Patriots might wish to cast their minds back to May 2005, when Patriot ABC Radio presenter Jon Faine, at great risk, interrogated Andrew Landeryou.
Patriots are reminded of Stephen Mayne’s in-depth coverage of the interview, which an independent media analyst described as Faine shooting fish in a barrel.
“ABC Victoria’s Jon Faine took a risk this morning and invited fallen ALP powerbroker and failed businessman Andrew Landeryou into the studio for a vigorous 15-minute live exchange before an audience of almost 200,000. Faine was certainly a little apprehensive about defamation and Landeryou did manage to plug his blog and land a few blows on Solly Lew, Melbourne Uni Student Union (MUSU) liquidator Dean McVeigh, The Age’s Leonie Wood and a few other players in the soap opera that is his life.
Landeryou sailed close to the wind… Faine really put him through his paces about allegedly doing a runner, failed ventures and his credibility.
Landeryou then went to Costa Rica and attempted to pick up an online gaming business that he hoped to float on the ASX in an “arbitrage” play that would raise enough funds to clear the debt to Solly (Lew) – a debt that seems to have been incurred in very curious circumstances involving threats of more embarrassing public disclosures.
Landeryou said that his business associates knew where he was but he didn’t tell his wife as there were problems in his marriage that he wouldn’t be elaborating on publicly.”
Mayne concludes his report with: “We tried to call Landeryou this morning on the mobile number displayed on the home page of his blog (0415 993 326) but we just got the theme song from the original Spiderman.
Patriots will remember that Landeryou was last seen in mid 2008 in his Spiderman suit.
Mayne made no mention of Landeryou writing as Delia Delegate for Crikey.
Independent website traffic measurement provider Site Analytics has revealed that only 467 people read Vexnews in July.
Respected media analysts approached for comment by Team Slanderyou have offered a range of views. One analyst said he was “…surprised the number was so high”. Another stated: “Vexnews is media and online spivery road kill”.
Team Slandeyrou has been tracking Vexnews’ rapidly dwindling readership levels since its establishment some 6 months ago. Click through the “Ratings” label below for coverage.
Legal documentation has revealed how Andrew Landeryou has been caught out on a vicious defamatory attack on a victim of Nazi occupation in World War 2. Unfortunately, this will come as no surprise to Patriots.
In May, it was reported that Vexnews, the financially strapped pet project of serial wealth destroyer and professional bankrupt Andrew Landeryou, was embroiled in another fascist controversy, involving StormFront.
StormFront is a fascist internet talk shop for race haters.
Vexnews editor, Andrew Landeryou, has again ‘approached’ a female journalist of The Age.
He’s behind you!
Last Friday, the self-admitted female journalist ‘approacher’ without apparent warning advanced on The Age journalist Caroline Webb.
Landeryou committed the deed at the Melbourne Magistrate’s Court.
Landeryou is no stranger to ‘approaching’ female journalists of The Age. In 2007 he was caught in a late night incident involving another female journalist of the same newspaper. He has also undertaken surveillance of Leonie Wood, another The Age journalist.
Serial court pest
Landeryou was in familiar environs at the MMC and legal surrounds, and is often seen clogging up the court system.
In 2005, he was a frequent required attendee of the Melbourne legal precinct fighting off court based investigations into the location of his personal cash-stash.
Landeryou was last seen in public, exiting and laughing in the face of justice, after his legal counterclaims against Les Twentyman were summarily dismissed by the Sunshine Magistrate’s Court.
Then later he proceeded home to the Fat Cave and was filmed eating a snack of KFC.
Patriots, we are enjoying the first official day on holiday. We came across this important tool, to help patriots when they read Vexnews. Avoids all known germs, cookies, shit-sheets and IP tracking problems.
We will still be back on 20 July, with infrequent broadcasting until then.
Vexnews has been described (defined?) as an "...online shit-sheet" by independent blog, Slackbastard.The blog continues stating: "Andrew Landeryou (is) Famous for his legal battles with businessman Solomon Lew and involvement in the scandal which destroyed the Melbourne University Student Union, Landeryou comes from pedigree Labor stock — Daddy was a Victorian State Government Minister — and uses his blog to attack factional rivals in the ALP."
It's a significant demotion for Vexnews, having previously been described as a "cesspit".
The criticism is not to be confused with Vexnews' involvement in a Stormfront related "shitstorm".
Patriots, TS will be taking a short break, and will return on 20 July.
Further patriots have reported that their comments to Vexnews were scrubbed clean off the Vexnews site, with patriot’s IP addresses being tracked and many reported later receiving un wanted ‘malware gifts’ from Vexnews.
Vexnews is not new to ‘gate’ type controversies.
As reported in April 2008 it was reported that “Scandal prone bankrupt and Liberal Party blogger Andrew Landeryou has been implicated in a developing imbroglio involving questionable employment practices.
Landeryou has advertised on his Bog of Sleaze, for an “intern” to join him on his Sleazy Blog endeavours.
The advert raises a number of significant questions.
Is Landeryou so lonely that the needs to advertise for ‘friends’ with mutual benefits?
Where is Freedom Freddie?
Where is Joe Klein?
Where is Cait Catt or Catter8 for that matter?
If all of the above are real, why not just appoint them?
And how can an unemployed bankrupt pay the intern for services rendered?
The picture of Monica Lewinski accompanying the advert clearly reveals his real motivations for the intern. As identified by reader Anna:
Andrew Landeryou is not new to sexual scandal. He has a history of heavily featuring photographs of footballer’s penises and those of political candidates. Though with the second example, the jury of public opinion is still out on whether the photographs were actually of Landeryou himself masquerading as a half naked Family First candidate.
Patriots have recently raised the issue of Landeryou’s loneliness.
Suggestions are that Landeryou’s search for a female intern and his loneliness are connected.
Landeryou ‘s most recent Facebook escapades suggest his is very lonely; but resorting to employing people so they will be your friends has shocked fair minded patriots.”
Vexnews, the financially cash-strapped online spivery news-free website, has become embroiled in another plagiarism controversy.
Popular and respected Australian blog, Broken Left Foot (BLF), has alerted its readership to Vexnews blatantly lifting its content thus invoking a malicious and evil breach of IP and copyright.
BLF writes: “During my google search for the Sarah henderson story, I came across this article on Vexnews with the following image. I thought the picture looked familiar, so I check this post with an image of the current Corangamite MP Darren Cheeseman. We have a match. I took the photo that Vexnews is currently using without my permission. So I ask Andrew Landeryou the following two questions? 1. Are you going to take it down ASAP and apologise? and 2. Can you spell "T-h-i-e-v-i-n-g C-u-n-t"
Vexnews is not new to proven claims of plagiarism.
In June 2007 it was conclusively proven that Vexnews’ predecessor, the Blog of Sleaze (also sometimes known as The Other Cheek) had “…posted this commentary. It includes references to Hizb ut-Tahrir, the Bankstown City Council, and a YouTube vid. Read Landeryou’s article closely. Then go to Neozionoid’s article which was published EARLIER ON THE SAME DAY. Notice any similarities? The one major stand out, among many, is that Landeryou includes every reference cited by Neozionoid, including the YouTube vid. Coincidence? It’s interesting that Landeryou would do a cut and paste of Neozionoid, who in the past has written that he doesn’t consider Landeryou’s blog to be well regarded. Perhaps that explains why and how Landeryou thought he could get away with it, thinking that the two blogs shared different audiences, and thus he would never be found out.”
IP lawyers are altered and alarmed by Vexnews’ frequent contravention of the law. As one lawyer stated: “We’d throw the book at Landeryou, but would be the point? He’d only plagiarize that too!”
What's interesting is there is no reference to Landeryou, the 'elephant in the room'. And no mention of any of this on Vexnews. Why is that Andy? Don't need the extra attention?
ABC 2 5:00pm Tuesday, 26 May 2009 Education Repeat CC G
Peter Thompson talks to Patriot Adam Shand who swapped the pin-striped world of business journalism to mix with the Vexnews editor, drug dealers, thugs and murderers and crack the story of Melbourne's gangland murders.
Adam Shand is a journalist with 20 years experience in Australian television and print media. As a cadet on The Australian newspaper in the 1980s, he covered the rise and fall of the entrepreneurs.
Joining the Nine Network in 1991, Adam reported for the Business Sunday program in Sydney and Melbourne. In 1994, he left Australia to become a freelance reporter in Africa for the Nine Network and international media organisations. He covered the rise to power of Nelson Mandela in South Africa, the aftermath of the genocide in Rwanda and the corruption of Zimbabwe’s democracy.
Returning home in 1997, Adam joined the Today Show as Melbourne correspondent for three years, before joining The Australian Financial Review newspaper as an investigative reporter in Melbourne and Sydney. He rejoined the Packer empire last year and currently works on The Bulletin magazine and the Nine Network’s Sunday and Business Sunday programs.
He has spent the past nine months hanging out in cafes and bars researching the Melbourne ganglands murders in a joint investigation for The Bulletin and Sunday.
Take the week to discuss amongst yourselves. There must be something to talk about?
You may wish to consider this:
"...we all know that Andrew Landeryou does not have two pennies to rub together at this stage and is facing a fairly uncertain future, probably at Her Majesty’s pleasure. As a result, it is very unlikely that anybody is going to launch proceedings against Mr Landeryou, on the basis that they would be unlikely to receive any damages and the cost of a defamation action is extremely high."
UPDATE x6 Jon Faine lets rip: "An insidious cancer throughout the body of the Brimbank Council's been revealed by the state Ombudsman .. Where was the Brumby Government as it dissolved into a shambles of dodgy deals .. and did it care a man with criminal convictions for assault and possessing an offensive weapon worked for Minister Justin Madden and was interfering in Council affairs?" UPDATE x5 No more Brimbanks.
UPDATE x4 This only affects the employed and the elected for that matter - not Andy.
UPDATE x3 The Australian makes the link toKororoit. UPDATE x2
The Australian today reports that "Australia's biggest universities have been ravaged by the global financial crisis, with the University of Melbourne reporting a $245.7 million loss".
Patriots may wish to review the financial accounts to offset the loss incurred from Uni. Melb. being forced to takeover the running of MUSU, which spectacularly collapsed under the stewardship of the Editor of Vexnews.
Last month we reported on the imminent collapse of Vexnews.
As reported, according to independent website auditor Quarkbase, Vexnews had no future.
Quarkbase, last month, found that Vexnews’ traffic rank was down a staggering 26% off an already low base, achieving a minuscule blog ranting of 4,754,569. The blog was only bookmarked via Delicious on 5 occasions, Digg(ed) on 2 occasions, and Twitter(ed) once.
The auditors have found that in April Vexnews continued to freefall in terms of traffic rank by 21%, achieving a blog ranking of 4,807,510.
Gullible investors have been warned to seek redemption of their capital before Vexnews is foreclosed.
(Patriots are advised there will be no other posts this week.)
Last week the Geelong Advertiser devoted precious inches to Andrew Landeryou.
It seems The Sun newspaper in the UK didn’t want to miss out on the fun, featuring a plastic bag carrying Landeryou, in a story about how his KFC craving is a major cause of global warming.
Last Friday, The Geelong Advertiser, a real news source, unlike failing and insolvent Vexnews.com, featured Andrew Landeryou describing him as a firestarter.
Patriot Kevin noticed the article and provided The Advertiser with some editorial assistance.
This morning at 9.30 am (like every other day, except Saturday and Sunday) I get out of bed, then sit down to a hearty breakfast consisting of the family 26 piece bucket of KFC.
I then read The Australian and The Age online, paraphrase some stories, then post them onto Vexnews which I then claim as "exclusives".
I then weigh myself, and find that after all this activity I lose 0.00001 kgs. To make up for the lost weight, I then eat another family 26 piece bucket of KFC.
(Patriots may wish to finish the diary entry for the rest of the day)
