Neville Donohue; phony major general down-under
One of our old friends sends this story from Australia about Major General Neville Donohue for whom the courts have issued an arrest warrant after he’s missed several court dates, telling the judge that he’s dying from cancer and has only months to live. According to Donohue, he’s also a major general, but not according to his mates;
Mr Donohue has been identified by former Army personnel as ex-corporal Neville McBryde Donohue from the Kilsyth area, who served in the Army from 1970-76 but never in operational areas.
He denies any wrongdoing, and claimed to the Herald Sun earlier this year that he was in his 45th year of military service and service to associated paramilitary government groups.
“I didn’t earn my decorations in the normal fashion, as in day-to-day military service. I earned them in behind-the-scenes service,” he said then.
So, they have secret squirrels in Australia, too. Donohue has also told the court that he’s on “special military duty” and that precludes his appearance in court. He’s facing charges of deception, impersonating a public official and for defaulting on repayment of large loan. The police say that he’s just “an old-time swindler”.

There’s so much tossed salad on this guy’s chest that Nicki Minaj prolly calls him Caesar.
Chicken Caesar?
Absolutely! LOL
Since there are no squirrels in Australia, would that make him a secret koala ?
I vote for “Secret Wombat”.
And calling attention to this line: “[…] that he was in his 45th year of military service and service to associated paramilitary government groups.”
I was watching “Deadliest Catch, The Bait” the other night and they had a Fire Captain from Bellvue, WA on as a guest. He was quick to point out that the Bellvue Fire Department is a paramilitary organization. Sometimes a Fire Department is just a Fire Department. All this mainstream wannabe bullshit makes me want to throw up sometimes.
I was going to say ‘secret koala’, but ‘secret wombat’ just does the pickle deed for me. Kudos!
As a retired Soldier and a now serving as a Fire Fighter I think paramilitary is about right now days for Fire Departments. We have rank structures along military lines, formal uniforms and “battle dress”, a basic training requirement that is a lot tougher than I thought it would be, annual physical fitness tests, we issue body armor to our strike medics, we have background checks, piss tests, we take courses along side National Guard Soldiers in terrorism response and are part of the integrated response team etc.
Most of the new guys we get that are former military find it a very comfortable environment when they join a functioning Fire Department.
By definition, any organization that uses ranks to denote employment level is considered a ‘paramilitary’ organization. Heck, the NYC Traffic Enforcement division is a ‘paramilitary’ organization, since the immediate supervisors are Lieutenants, the office commander is a Captain, and the Division Commander is a Chief.
Since I follow these deep and relevant side-discussions in my comments, I did some research and an Australian squirrel is called a bandicoot or a phascogale.
Secret wombat just has a better ring to it.
If you listen to Ze Frank extolling the properties of koalas, I think you will be converted to the “Secret Koala” view.

Tried to use a link that started at the koala portion … failed.
The whole thing is funny but the koala part starts around 212 secs in (~3.5 min).
Crypto-Koala?
Wuss Wombat?
Kanga-Schmoo?
Tasmainan Gerbil?
2 Star? Pfffftttt. Our boy is a 4 Star. But, he doesn’t have as many medals.
I believe this turd was on a “secret mission”.
My best guess is that he is working for the False Commander Phil Monkress, the CEO of All-Points Logistics, in setting up a clandestine branch of APL down under.
With all of those APL contract being denied, something has to be done. I mean, really, just how far can one go on fake Native American, Law Enforcement, SEAL and Commissioned Officer claims? A looonnngggg way according to Phony Phil Monkress. This buttnugget is down there getting OJT in a real-time environment.
All-Points Logistics maggots.
HO-LEE MOLDY SHEEPSHIT ON A RUSTED BROKEN SHOVEL, he has more medals on his jacket than the “Major General” character in “HMS Pinafore”, Kirjath Tomey, and a Platoon of North Korean Generals! FUCK HIM to death up the ass sideways with a thousand dead porcupines, five hundred puffer fish, and a barge load of cockle burrs!! BLIMEY, I hope Australia has some SV laws with some teeth and some prosecutors that want to put him someplace where he’ll be the “Cell Block Sheila”!
Guys I think you might be too harsh. Dude is dying of cancer. My theory is he has an 18 lb. tumor under his right armpit and his doctor told him to hang 18 lbs. of bling on his left breast in order to prevent curvature of the spine. I hope you feel bad now… and shame.
guy looks like he would drift left whenever he tries to walk.
Or his jacket would fail from the weight of all of that crap he’s wearing
That was my comment on the Stolen Valor page. I have no idea HOW this turd keeps himself upright.
North Korean Generals say “STFU NOOB!!”
Holee shite!! They have medals on their freaking pants!?
The Sukhomlinov Effect is in full force.
I’ve seen pics where some of them have medals on their back like in The Three Stooges flick where they were in “Moronica”!
I did not know they had Army surplus stores in Oz. It’s a shame that people like this have so little imagination, isn’t it? I’ve seen better stories come out of Masterpiece Theater. This idjit is pathetic.
We are suffering a pandemic of self-esteem issues. Folks are so-disconnected; broken inside they try to find acceptance and praise and whatnot in just about any way they can imagine. Its never good enough having served, or participated, or even not-done those things. Folks are not filled-up inside, emotionally, unless they get stroked for things they imagine or wish were true.
Just wait for it – somebody will SUE to use their CoD rank/accomplishments in real life.
It’s already happened. Bernath tried to get me to call him Chief Petty Officer Bernath in the restraining order hearing that he lost against me. I refused. The 166-page lawsuit against 50 of us was meant to establish his CPO creds (he also sued the organization which denied that they ever bestowed the title on him).
The guy’s delusional. Next you’ll be telling us he sued gravity and lost. Oh wait…
Speaking of Birdbath, is his hearing today?
Hey, I think you’re right. Update, PUH-LEEEZ?!

I gotta ask out of my own dumbsh!t curiosity, who HASN’T Daniel A. Bernath sued so far other than his fellow members of The Dutch Rudder Gang?
I tried to muddle through the suit he bought forth that was tossed out, and it boggles the mind how many people and organizations he named.
The two that really stood out were NASA and the Social Security Administration.
“I didn’t earn my decorations in the normal fashion, as in day-to-day military service. I earned them in behind-the-scenes service,” he said then.
He’s legit. I mean it’s not like you can just go on the internet and buy those awards…is it?
Did he say that he earned the bling by “catching”?
I usually save this one for bucks and outstanding females, but here it goes:
“Nice rack”.
Hahahah that is some serious Stolen Valor, holy cow, he took it all, leave some for your other poser buddies.
Now THAT is a clown suit…
My apologies to all the other decent clowns out there trying to make a living by making other people laugh.
How can anyone think that walking around looking like a Hero of the Great Patriotic War, is believable?
Major General, Corporal…no biggie, they are both ranks, right? I mean, they even share some of the same letters you know? I am sure he just got a little confused what with all his behind the scenes service…
Major General – Check.
Lots of bling – Check.
Member of the Aussie IOOF – Maybe?
Take your pick. He’s either:
-a South American tinpot Generalissimo
-a NORK General
-a play actor from some Gilbert & Sullivan operetta
-a Great War WWI surviving General/Field Marshal/whatever
I say Generalissimo with a touch of Norkie General. 😀
Reprised, but not re-written. Music: Arthur Sullivan Lyrics: with apologies to W.S. Gilbert I am the very model of a modern Major-General, I’ve information: unethical, fraudical, and criminal, I know the kings of fraud, and I read their fantasies hysterical From Androsky to McManus, in order scatological; I’m very well acquainted, too, with matters pathological, I understand their ramblings, both the simple and fanatical, About our actions I’m teeming with a lot o’ news, With many cheerful facts about the tightening of the noose. I’m very good at intel and different machines; I know the military missions — including the Marines: In short, to bust the most unethical, fraudical, and criminal, I am the very model of a modern Major-General. I know their mythic “history”, to be blunt, it’s such a crock. I laugh hard at their excuses, they’ve the intellect of a rock, I quote in modern prose all the wrongs of braggadocios , These rascals know no shame! A peculiar bunch of Bolos; I can tell undoubted Heroes from the fakers and pretenders, I know the croaking chorus of the deceptive counterfeiters. Then I can read a 214 despatched from NARA way before , And decipher all the truth from that infernal attention-whore. Then I can write so clearly using proper English form, And tell you ev’ry detail of a jumped-up uniform: In short, to bust the most unethical, fraudical, and criminal, I am the very model of a modern Major-General. In fact, when I know what is meant by “fraud” and “valor stolen”, When I can tell at sight a poser and a felon, When such affairs as death threats and surprises I’m more wary at, And when I know precisely what is meant by “washed-up water rat”. When I have learnt what progress has been made in their skulduggery, When I know more of Law than a “30-year catastrophe”, In short, when I’ve a smattering of elemental gallantry — You’ll say a better Major-General has never sat a Harley.

Crap!!!! And I thought I was going to make some half ass humorous comment on the consequences of not enough salad and the correlation of cancer as a result. The more I read on here the more I realize I have fallen into the company of some exceptionally well-spoken writers of all genre. The humor already present slays the hell out of me. But the in depth thinking makes me realize I’ve just joined as a janitor in a publication where thinking people are spewing comments any seasoned news writer would wish he could possess. Well done Gentlemen!
This is what happens when OCD meets a North Korean made, mil-spec bedazzler.

I can’t swear to it, but I think he’s got them all sorted by color. How very avant-garde!
I don’t know why but the “he’s just ‘an old-time swindler’” description made my day. That just says it all.
Sooner of later this will occur to everyone. What this fool represents is a New York City street hustler; this one a dyslexic fake medal hustler. Wears ’em on the outside instead of the inside! My guess is some days he switches his game and has a table sitting on top of three cups and a walnut.
