Meet Robert Thomson. CEO of News Corporation.

The right-hand man Rupert Murdoch.

The Australian. The Herald Sun. The Daily Telegraph. The Courrier Mail. The New York Post. Skynews. The Adelaide Advertiser. The Wall Street Journal. The Time. The Sunday Times. The Sun. The New York Post. Fox News.

In wealthy business circles, it's a well-known fact that you don't cross Robert Thomson. You don't. Because he can destroy you. It doesn't matter who you are.

Look at what he did to Gordon Brown.

Late yesterday it became clear that a full-scale assault on the privacy of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown was under way for almost a decade during Labour's time in office. The trawl for private data wasn't confined to the News of the World.

At least two other Rupert Murdoch-owned newspapers, The Sun and The Sunday Times, have been accused of participating.

Perhaps the worst example came when medical records concerning his older son, Fraser, were obtained by The Sun, edited at the time by News International chief executive, Rebekah Brooks

Oh? Rebekah Brooks? The woman that bribed police officers?

Yeah. She was actually promoted by News Corp

She was in Sydney recently. That's the kind of senior executives that Robert Thomson surrounds himself with. He also uses former spooks.

Malcom Turnbull and Kevin Rudd describe him a formidable political force.

Every Billionaire has a henchman. Someone ready to do the most vile and wicked things. Robert Thomson is Rupert Murdoch's personal henchman. And he is lavishly rewarded for his loyalty. He is the highest paid CEO in Australia.

Someone needs to check his birth date to see if it’s Goebbels reincarnation.
