Why aren't you hearing more about Abdullah Shah?

Edmontonians may know and sometimes even cringe at the name of Carmen Pervez. He's a Lebanese piece of shit who's famous for being the ringleader of a record high mortgage fraud case. He's out of jail now and back to his usual tricks: making money and ruining property values and turning relatively decent Edmonton neighbourhoods into disastrous hell-holes similar to his own backwards country.

But something in this article caught my eye.

It was the black Hummer H1 neighbours recognized first.

Gohar (Carmen) Ahmed Pervez, a convicted mortgage fraud artist some in inner city communities view as a slumlord, got out of jail in 2010 and is back in Parkdale and McCauley neighbourhoods.

He’s been buying up marginal properties — renting, renovating and trying to sell them again. Some of his tenants give his homes a reputation for trouble, causing fear and headaches among his neighbours.

But some in the neighbourhoods credit him for giving a chance to the hard-to-house homeless and for providing renovation employment for ex-convicts.

Pervez, who has since changed his name to Abdullah Shah, was charged in 2005 as the ringleader for a $30 million-mortgage fraud that earned him $1.8 million in profit.

He pleaded guilty to 54 counts of fraud in 2008 and was sentenced to five years. But with credit for time served, he got out after two.

Now he claims to be a significant player in the inner city again with 93 properties — homes, apartments and lodging houses.

“We thought he was gone. Not so much,” said Tracy Patience, who lives across the alley from a string of five houses he owns or at least controls through a numbered company on 86th Street north of 112th Avenue.

Neighbours were in tears on the phone for this article, worried about putting their names to complaints about Pervez’s tenants but wanting the full tale out. He attracts troubled tenants, including those whose business activities have neighbourhood constables looking twice and ex-homeless people who can’t rent anywhere else.

Did you catch it? Go ahead, read the passage again. Or better yet, see if you can glean the issue when you also consider this other excerpt:

He has loyal friends and admirers. He hires people off the street to renovate his properties and lets them live on-site, even while the home is under construction. While neighbours worry vulnerable people are being taken advantage of, others are grateful for the opportunity.

“He pays us labour,” said Tyler Clark, who lives beside the string of five Pervez-controlled properties on 86th Street and helped apply acrylic stucco.

Clark served federal time and doesn’t have any formal tickets in the trades, he said.

“I’m just learning. … Carmen, he’s helped me out quite a bit, actually. I’ve found other jobs through him.”

Sarah Fassman has been managing properties with Pervez for 10 years and had tears in her eyes when asked about the mortgage fraud.

Okay, you must surely see it by now.

No? Well, it's that Carmen Pervez is referenced numerous times in this article. He's called Carmen. He's called Pervez. What he's never referred to as, other than a single line in the article, is his name: Abdullah Shah.

Now it's perfectly understandable why Redmonton Urinal Elise Stolte keeps referring to him by his old name: it's quite obviously who he is. He's Carmen Perez. He was Carmen Perez when he was in his mortgage scam, and Carmen Pervez is the man who is out on the streets doing the same shady shit he was doing a decade ago. The name change, of course, is so that he can escape being figured out on Google searches. But it is, quite clearly, who he is. Carmen Pervez is how everybody from his friends to his victims knew him as. Calling him Abdullah Shah is to participate in a bald lie.

Yet this isn't the media's rule for dealing with another group who are using name changes to deceptively hide who they are. Trannies are doing the same thing day in and day out. And you know who's culpably going along for the ride? That's right, the same newspaper chain who sensibly kept warning Edmontonians that Carmen Pervez is back. Back when Faggot-Familiar-Alliances were still a hot topic, guess how they described one of these trannies?

Sam Dyck was on the verge of dropping out of school.

“I didn’t feel safe walking down the halls, being in class . . . I avoided the washrooms at all costs,” recalled the 16-year-old transgender student at Forest Lawn High School. “I held it all day and was en route to a bladder infection or something.”

Dyck felt like he was alone but others were experiencing much of the same pain.

We aren't told what Sam Dyck's name was before she went around trying to claim she was a guy. Was it Samantha? Or did she pick a totally different first name? We don't know, unlike with Gohar Carmen Pervez we aren't given fair warning about who this girl was before this year. We do know, fortunately, what she looks like:


I mean, the Journal does fortunately give a picture of Pervez, same as Metro News gave us a picture of Sam Dyck and her friend Alex Hunt, who is also a girl despite what she tries lying to you about. Here, so you can remember...


So the question ultimately remains: what's so special about trannies that their mental disorders get them a free pass into just changing their name into whatever they like without any context ever given? This doesn't just apply to people in Alberta who are in news stories, either. Cat Stevens is the stage name of Steve Georgiou, both of which he rejected in favour of being called Yusuf Islam (he's mellowed in being known as Cat Stevens though). Meanwhile, Bill Amesbury was a successful music artist around the same time: his song Virginia (Touch Me Like You Do) is the one you probably remember: I covered it on this blog about five years ago. Well like Cat Stevens, Bill Amesbury decided to change his name. He's now claiming to be a woman and calling himself Barbara. More recently, if you remember the Wachowski Brothers you're a deranged CIS-normal lunatic, apparently. The fact that Larry Wachowski is a man who made the Matrix films is harder to coverup than Metro's sad attempts to lie to us and claim that Sam Dyck isn't a man, but rather a woman who started a club where she pretends to be a man.

On the subject of convicted fraudster Carmen Pervez, the newsmedia is okay with letting you know who he is despite his attempts to hide his past. Future sexual fraudster "Sam Dyck" isn't so easy. There the newspaper is okay with passing off a lie to you.

Distinction, perhaps. Difference, nope.
