Otago Daily Times photo opportunity: Bruce Van Essen sitting on his porch at 13 Duxford Crescent, Fairfield, Otago, New Zealand
Lauda Finem has yet again hit the nail on the head. Regular readers will recall that we posted a little piece exposing Bruce Van Essen and his online alter ego www.accforum.org’s “Huggy“. In that post we wagered that Bruce Van Essen aka Huggy’s case against ex-cops turned private dicks Peter Gibbons and Graeme Scott……. was likely ill conceived and destined to fail. We also pointed out that the Judge hearing the case, Justice Christian Whata, was likely of the same view given the views he had expressed during the closing arguments:
Justice Christian Whata
“Isn’t that otherwise known as gross recklessness, rather than bad faith?”
Make no mistake Van Essen’s mission in life, since the execution of those dodgy search warrants, had become an almost psychotic focus on “payback”, and this mindset had developed partly because he had become part and parcel of the online cabal collectively known as www.accforum.org. Egged on by his forum co-conspiritors and compatriots Van Essen became, at least for Peter Gibbon and Graeme Scott, the ultimate nemesis. Had Van Essen been alone he would have undoubtedly acted with more caution. But he wasn’t alone, the networking that this forum enabled introduced Van Essen to his fellow complainant Jason Patterson aka the forums member “Jocko”.
We here at LF suspect that Van Essen’s anger, following the searches, may have had something to do with the fact that he had been given to believe by other Forum members that the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) would treat a specific group within the forums then hierarchy as a protected species. Our suspicions are based on strong evidence which suggests that Van Essen was very much a part of a small group that saw themselves as being above and beyond suspicion, the email thread below which we received from super grass David Butler may well clarify our suspicions for readers wherein forum member Douglas Weal writes (remember readers according to the IPCA report the dodgy search warrants where executed on Van Essen’s Fairfield, Otago home in September 2006 so why is Douglas Weal including Bruce Van Essen’s name as a go to person for ACC investigators some two years later?) :
The contact will be personally given only to a select few people so that
these persons can “sort out the chaff” and verify the information before
it is passed on to ACC. Persons who currently may have information which
would be of interest to Dr White and ACC include Warren Forster, Dave Butler, Bruce van Essen and myself.
Police and Private investigators swooped on this house at 13 Duxford Crescent, Fairfield, Otago, New Zealand on September 1, 2006.
So why was it exactly that Douglas Weal sort to seduce ACC and other forum members with these emails?:

I appreciate that you can’t communicate with Mr Davis, who holds the most
appropriate position to act as the conduit you seek. Another option is to
send your correspondence to the attention of Dr White and mark it as
private and confidential. Dr White does read her correspondence and I am
sure that the information you send will be received and viewed by her.If you remain unhappy about that option the only other person you may want
to consider is the Chair of the ACC Board, Ross Wilson. You could send
correspondence to Mr Wilson at PO Box 242, Wellington.Regards

Re: Fw: ContactHi Megan
Thank you for your reply.
Mr. Barry Davis was formerly acting Branch manager for ACC in Whangarei.
There is currently an application before the District Court for a summons
for him to appear for cross examination for an allegation of “perverting
the
course of justice” in that he withheld information for a review in my own
case, in February 07.
Barry Davis is also due to be examined by a QC investigating the case of
Mrs. Val Forster, basically on allegation for the same type of offences.
There are numerous other complaints by claimants against Mr. Davis relatingto his ability to make files disappear.
As you can see, people would be reluctant to deal with Mr. Davis, and I am
legal unable to make contact this person. Mr. Davis has a reputation as a
McGreevy lapdog sent in when a “cover-up” is required.
Any other suggestions?

Thank you for your email. I have discussed your concerns with the
Minister
regarding your request for a ‘conduit’ into ACC. While I am sure that Dr
White does get to see the information that you provide, if you would likea
senior member of staff as a contact, then the most appropriate person is
Barry Davis. Mr Davis is currently the Director of the Chief Executives
Office.Mr Davis can be contacted on 04 918 7700 (ACC’s main line) or

and therefore the responsibility of the Chief Executive of ACC rather
than

Fw: ContactHi Megan
Private and Confidential.
I have been approached by several people about the following problem.
We need a “conduit” into ACC, where we can feed high value information
about ACC and Claimants. However the information needs to be seen by Dr
White, before it disappears down the chain of command.This situation has been brought about because it appears that since the
internal enquiry into the activities of the ACC Fraud Unit, senior ACC
staff are so busy watching their backs they appear too scared to act, and
to the extent they appear to be no longer receptive to copies of hard
information. Several persons who have contacts within ACC have reported
this problem.What we are asking for is a contact person, phone number or email
address,
where the Minister can assure us, the information is seen by Dr White,
before it is distributed within ACC; and if so requested, the source of
the
information remains with Dr White’s office.I ask that the Office of the Minister facilitate this?
The contact will be personally given only to a select few people so that
these persons can “sort out the chaff” and verify the information before
it is passed on to ACC. Persons who currently may have information which
would be of interest to Dr White and ACC include Warren Forster, Dave Butler, Bruce van Essen and myself.I look forward to your response.
Yours sincerely,
Douglas Weal
The power that this internet forum had managed to garner by 2006, when it was at its zenith, was extraordinary (the Takapuna Bomb Plot had yet to occur and thus the cabal behind the forum, despite the ring leaders all being convicted criminal fraudsters, had managed to inveigle unwitting journalists in their Machiavellian plots). Of course the journalists concerned remained none the wiser until fairly recently when Lauda Finem exposed those behind the forum and how they operated. There is so much more to this story and that is coming soon……
Incidentally Bruce Van Essen is the man behind yet another of the so called claimants right websites, www.acclaimotago.org, a site vary similar in nature to that of www.accforum.org:

lol you’re sucking on what? “Crap”
does this IP mean anything to you 🙂

Oh thats right the fact that we have obtained the complete and unedited judgement lol
These guys Warren Arthur Wilson and his bum buddies,the ACC forum people, appear to be really intellectually challenged. Why bother posting their tripe. I read somewhere that Wilson was posting using different monikers to pretend to be a native NZ and try and wind up maoridom. From the pictures on the internet he appears to be a hidious little muppet with no chance in life, a real how you say ‘fucktard’.
Don’t you worry “Rayi” we’ve been handed photographs of Van Essen, you know the one’s he has convinced justice Whata to conceal:
Bruce’s house is really quite stylie – sort of fort like with the different angles representing a tower, and maybe the birdbaths representing a moat [in Brucies mind] – sort of like out of Blackadder. I wonder what such a shit hole is worth in Fucktardville – I mean Fairfield. Maybe ask low threes and get high 2’s me think. Auction would be a mistake, but the bank maybe forced down that route when Bruce can’t pay his mortgage due to being unemployable and is unable to rub two cents together. Hey ACC fraudster – give New Zealanders their money back you lazy legal aid funded litigation losing fat sack of shit. Whats with the threats of gangs – kids in the school ground have even stopped that bullshit you ACC Forum tossers.
You are again attacking our pakeha friend from Dunedin, this man has much mana and does not deserve to be treated with disrespect. We have many contacts throughout Oceania and we have been secretly watching and gathering intel about team@lauda. We know for a certain fact that a Mr A Nottingham and a Mr P Nottingham are closely associated with your organisation. We also know the names of your NZ money men, there is one man that is far too “keen to help”, we will be visiting him in his Marlborough hideaway very soon. We also know about your NZ drug connections, importing cocaine is such a risky business when you have not sought our permission. With the recent change in Real Estate salespersons rules your Auckland realty firm will be under some intense scrutiny. Our good friend Warren says to tell you he is not sorry for what he has done or is about to do. Hope you have enjoyed blogging, we will be having a little chat in not not to distant future – you have no secrets and nowhere to hide.
Thanks for that “Lehohapata”, aka “jiggaboo”, aka “Tomcat” aka Kenneth Miller. We are looking forward to greeting you off the plane at Mascot. We are also assuming that your comment was designed to intimidate? Well “Hori” you should think again. We have passed on your implicite and implied threats to those you have named (directly or by inference). With that in mind fuckwit we have assumed that with your highlighted reference to the http://www.accforum.org moniker “Keentohelp” you are attempting to threaten Peter Gibbons brother, ACC advocate Tony Gibbons of Nelson? So without having to think to hard you should expect a knock on the door at some point in the future. What makes us all here at LF piss ourselves laughing is the fact that you gutless pricks appear to be terrified of these so called “Nottingham brothers” Perhaps that fear is genuinely held? Anyway the LF team have more important stories to bring our readers so your 15 minutes of fame is now at an end, we trust that you enjoyed it.
So with the above in mind your comments and those of the other http://www.accforum.org fucktards and ACC fraudsters using fake email addresses will no longer be published 😉
PS; please let your good friend “Warren” Arthur Wilson know that we just love his latest effort, we were all pissing ourselves laughing when we clocked it:

That combined with the previous attempt:

Or our take on it:
http://laudafinem.com/?s=mayer
While Van Essen may be all you say Gibbons has also proven to be economical with the truth over police officers and live chickens and the previous commissioner of police at a police football club money raiser when he rushed into print to defend his old boss and stick the knife in the back of another cop who was also a competitor for ACC work.in Dunedin. which backfired rather badly. Gibbons was involved if far more dodgy dealings than you acknowledge and supplied false information to the Registrar of Security Guards in an application for renewal of his licence. An ex Dunedin detective now living in Perth in West Australia wrote a book several years ago detail behaviour of Dunedin police which is no longer available unfortunately as the author claims police and Government ‘banned’ the sale and reprint of the book. I do have the Book ‘Copouts and Coverups’ by Tom Lewis. It certainly gives a look at the culture that existed at Dunedin. But the book has to be judged against the authors obsession with one person Christopher Lewis who was without doubt not a pleasant character and committed suicide in prison awaiting trial for the rape and murder of Jan Furlan. Tom Lewis was totally convinced of his guilt and was disappointed at his death and his not facing trial but Hus certainty would prove to be wrong after the book was published and most copies disappeared into police custody. A 15 year old Maori boy was convicted of her murder and three years later a serial rapist Matthew Rewa was convicted of her Rape as his DNA was found internally in her body Other evidence pointed to Rewa having murdered her as well but the system just could not accept it had been duped by a 15 year old trying to collect to $20,000 reward money and he was again convicted of murder and is still in prison the only evidence police had was a confession they had to tell the youth what to write as he did not know where she lived what she looked like how she was laying on the bed when found. It was a stock standard police investigation of a serious crime . . . they got the wrong person . . . Twice . . . and Rewa had committed at least 27 rapes all with the same MO though the the killing was his first and only killing. His murder victim was a fighter and he hit a bit too hard with the bat he used to render his victims unconscious ot incapable of resistance.
Perhaps you should check out all of our posts Linz. We are not at all painting Peter Gibbon as an angel, we are in fact renowned for our uncompromising stance on corrupt cops. In fact if you look carefully at our posts you will find this piece by investigative journo Ian Wishart amongst the bibliography/reference material we have made available for readers:
http://www.thebriefingroom.com/archives/investigate_back_issues/july_07_issue/index.html
This story however deals with a specific case that should be seen in light of the background to the “Takapuna Bomb Plot”:
http://laudafinem.com/2011/12/14/accforum-the-fitzie-files-a-cursory-glance/
Remember the old saying Linz “Two wrongs don’t make a right”
If you have some hard evidence on Gibbons et al that is worth us investigating/pursuing/publishing feel free to contact us here at LF using the email address; laudafinem@bigpond.com
PS: we are also aware of the banned book you refer to, you would not happen to be the Author would you Linz? If you are we would like to correspond in a little more detail.
You’ve put a lot of thought and effort into your comment Linz for which you should be commended.
Shit I can’t stop laughing at the waste of effort this fuckwit Van Essen has put into getting creamed and embarassed by the Crown and his attempts to sell these losses as wins are pitiful. I bet the bank will be knocking on his door real soon. I can hardly wait. We have family friends who live a street away and apparently do not know Van Essen, but will be spreading your story about what a scumbag he is. My mates wife is a amateur photographer, but with really good gear, so give me an email if you want up to date shots of this cock doing the garden playing with his “birdbath”. What a fuckwit bitch you are “Huggy”!!!!.
