This Ain’t Hell Downunder
The Illawarra Mercury reporter James Robertson picked up on our article about Norbert Basil MacLean III O’Connor-Keough or whatever he’s calling himself these days. Keough, who currently works for Tasmanian senator Jacqui Lambie, thought that he could escape his past by moving to Australia, start wearing awards he didn’t earn (or the Navy wouldn’t let him keep after his court martial) and making up a pile of confusing names.
While Mr Robertson was researching his article, the newspaper started getting legal threats from Mr Keough which made the paper’s lawyers a little reticent about pulling the trigger;
A text message from a mobile number linked to Senator Lambie said: “Let’s see what you and your grubby little paper are made of. I have a bank of lawyers ready to sue Fairfax.”
Yeah, I’ve been getting those kinds of threats, too. Keough has sent me cease and desist letters, he convinced Yahoo that the pictures I used were copyrighted somehow and he has threatened to sue me in Tasmanian courts. I told him that we could avoid all of this drama if only he’d send me proof that I’m wrong, and that it would only be a subject of the discovery process anyway. He hasn’t, however, provided any proof, only threats.
I don’t see me showing up in Tasmania for a court appearance, either, since there are jurisdictional issues.
Jonn Lilyea, a veteran and former editor at the US National Archives, runs a blog devoted to exposing “military imposters” and alleges Mr Keough has recently worn medals he did not earn at RSL commemorations.
“He is wearing the Kuwait Liberation Medal-Saudi Arabia, which he didn’t earn [and] the Kuwait Liberation Medal – Kuwait, which he didn’t earn,” Mr Lilyea told Fairfax Media.
A copy of Mr Keough’s service record, which Mr Lilyea says was released to him under freedom-of-information laws, lists medals for marksmanship and others but none for service in the Gulf.
Mr Keough denied the record’s accuracy, but did not respond when asked if he served in the war (1990-1991), leaving the claims in doubt.
This isn’t Mr Keough’s first rodeo in the impersonation game either. Apparently he pretended to be a UN ambassador, “His Excellency Norbert B. Maclean III, United States Representative to the United Nations Association”. According to The Mercury, the United Nations Association bestowed the title of an honorary ambassador on anyone who donated $1000, but Keough didn’t bother to donate to them, says the association.
I’m sure the United Nations Association will now be sued for admitting that to the Record.
Keough is big crybaby who hides behind legal threats to be things that he’s not.
“I dispute these assertions as defamation and if falsehoods are reported I will take all necessary action to redress any reports that defame me,” Mr Keough said in an email.
Yeah, you’d better talk to your lawyers about it before you start making threats, Norbert.

Crybaby Keough is a coward, a liar, a fraud, a conman, and should not be allowed near any politicians lest he corrupt them further.
Is that even possible!?
UPDATE: NOV. 14…Senator Jacqui Lambie is history, She’s pulled the pin & resigned.
Not eligible to sit in the Australian parliament due to her Scottish dual citizenship by descent.
Section 44 of the Australian constitution has claimed quite a few sitting M.P’s in the last weeks & days.
So it’s looks like Norbert B.McL.3rd.O-K is out of a job & will be heading home ASAP otherwise he’ll be in breach of his visa conditions.
Well, well, well… there is some justice, after all.
I don’t know how long you have to pack your bags & get out of OZ but now He is technically an unlawful non citizen in Australia and subject to arrest & confinement in Villawood detention centre awaiting deportation on the next available flight out of Sydney….perhaps His previous history will have that process expedited.
Gadzooks, this stuff just keeps going on and on. I’ll leave out Florida today.
Norbert,
He is a little bitch who was DOOOMED when his parents named him.
*POINTS and LAUGHS*!!!
Looks like someone is all wee’d wee’d up over their past…
I have never, ever, ever met any male that uses a hyphenated last name who wasn’t a super duper ass clown.
Counter example: Robert Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouting movement.
Although it is hard to “meet” him now.
REMF, I think you need restrict that generalization to those in the U.S. of A., as hyphenated last names are quite common in the UK. I have met some fine British Army officers with such surnames.
eg: John-Fucking Kerry
Well, look at it from a positive stance.
Now you’re famous in Tasmania, and you didn’t even have to go there.
We should all be thanking Keough for the free publicity, which is now world-wide.
Umm… I get a black rectangle. Was that what you posted?
The Tazmanian Devil whirling.
Okay. I found the cartoon video.
Funny thing I discovered about the Tasmanian Devil during some research back when I was a teacher …
It seems that the fellows who created the cartoon character named him that because it sounded funny. They apparently didn’t know that such an animal actually exists; they thought they’d made that name up.
Whether the story is true or not, I can’t say. But if it isn’t, it ought to be.
Next thing you know, he’ll be world famous in Poland…
Lies about copyrights, lies about service record, threatens to sue. Poser 101 level unlocked.
I’d like to make a motion that Norbert (giggle) ahem, Norbert be nominated for the wall o’ insults.
I’ll allow it because he looks like a smug douche.
Second??
Oh, ok. 2nd.
OK We have a Second. Do we have an “AYE” vote(s)?
Aye!
OK we got it covered, Per TAH Robert’s Rules, only one aye vote needed, HEY RUN-AWAY-DOWN-UNDER-ASS-LICKER Fraud, BOHICA, Wall of Insults®™ FIRE IN THE HOLE!!!! TACTICAL NUCLEAR ROUND OUT!!!!

You had me at “poodle raper.”
“Asshole Casserole”
Yeah, That’s a new one I got from an 8 year old.
It made me spit-take.
Don’t hold back, tell us how you really feel.
AYE!
I’m guessing he’ll also claim to have played on all the St George (now St George-Illawarra) Premiership teams in the 1950’s.
Norbert is a good name for a dragon. Specifically a Norwegian Ridgeback Dragon.
Other than that…
Too bad Norbert had to be renamed in the series…… oh, wait that still works
seems this was first published in the sydney times
http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/jacqui-lambies-advisor-norbert-oconnorkeoughs-long-and-winding-past-20171001-gys97y
According to the date/time stamp, the Sydney Morning Herald article is published a few hours in the future.
Jonn is now internationally renowned … good deal.
Is it too late to get an autograph? P)
)p … oops
😛 smiley?
I need coffee, it seems.
Excuse accepted.
lets all get on space-A travel and have a TAH vacation!
I wonder if the folks at ANZMI know about this?
http://www.anzmi.net
Damn, I was hoping it was Carson Daly and we had finally gotten rid of him.
Jonn,
DEFINITELY come down to Aus. Me and a bunch of guys I know will see to it that you don’t pay for a beer from wheels down to wheels up.
I’m sorta curious as to how someone moves to Australia and becomes an aide to a Senator. How does that work as I’m in for a couple of years
Google her Australian Parliament house office email address, email your C.V to her, get a job as a staffer/advisor, apply for the correct aussie visa….you could be here in a month and your life will never be the same.
P.S, Consider including a dick pic in your C.V, it may get you shortlisted in the application file going on what has been reported in the media.
Australian Senator Jackie Lambie A.K.A “LAMBO” due to her past as an M.P in the Australian Army & fiery & cranky personality is widely seen as a short fuzed,a few screws loose sort of woman.
She does have some redeeming features and is not keen on Muslims or Islam & says so. Lambie’s appearance as a panelist on Q&A, an Australian Broadcasting Commission left leaning TV program with a well known Australia hater, Sudanese immigrant and proud Muslim Yassmin Abdel-Magied who famously stated on that program to Lambo “Islam is the most feminist of religions”.
Yassmin got so harassed by aussies after that comment only to double down on her dickheadness on A.N.Z.A.C day, the day Aussie’s remember their war dead, to cast a light on the illegal arrival & un-documented economic immigrants being held on Pacific Islands. After much fanfare, sour grapes & self publicity Yassmin has now self exiled herself to a Muslim country were She will feel more at home…England.
Ouch! That left a mark.
I have met this “gentleman” at a RSL State Congress for the New South Wales Returned and Services League (for those not in the know, a support organisation for veterans since 1916). People like this bloke, and other pretenders within the RSL, lessen and damage our reputation. We work hard at helping our vets and serving members and are generally highly regarded by the public. I will endevour to find out if he is still in the organisation, and if so, have him removed.
