In the world, much goings on. Some interesting news from Iran and a very serious warning to Western countries including New Zealand and Australia.

Thank you. Don’t think though that this isn’t happening in NZ!
There is a very deliberate campaign to entice Maori (specifically young Maori males) into Islam, most notably in the prisons, the intention being apparently to create ‘Hit squads’ for use at some future date (When the Muslim population in NZ exceeds approximately 10% of the actual population), to silence any perceived enemies of the religion.
Given the Maori male’s proclivity towards violence, this is a very clever tactic, especially as the reactions of such individuals tend to be ’emotion’ rather than ‘logic’ based.
probably but is a random chick on the internet that likely resides in the USA really the most reliable source of info?
if content of other iranian folk popped up claiming the opppsite would you believe it or just use your bias to disregard it as propaganda?
the vid in your link is easy to fabricate, theres plenty of pics online of militia type folk posing in buildings and mosques, ooooo lets add a scary photo of loaded gun racks likely from a redneck americans basement, throw in a photo of a mosque and find someone iranian looking (or use ai) to read a bullshit script… then congratulations, you got had.
randos on the internet are 99.99999% of the time full of shit, just cuz the occassional one is correct dosent mean you should go trusting them all.
i trust fucking near nothing on the internet these days, its only good for indications of what may be going on but not whats actually happening.
Christchurch for a start.
Why would you have one in Taihape?
Well established one in Hamilton
Why not and one in Ekathuna too.
We have standards.
You mean those metal stakes you bang into the ground?
Back to work today which explains why the weather is coming right.
i can see the yellow thing in the sky today!!!
the headwaters got a hidding and rivers got pretty high but out on the flats the predicted rain fizzled a bit. still got 40odd mm but not the forecast 130+. nice steady rain for 3 days to soak in just nicely, grass will boom now and mrs sb will be able to get fence standards in the ground which will save me the hassle of doing it and also straightening all the ones she bent trying to stomp them in!
Back to work tomorrow for me, that is why it is pissing down in the Darkest King Country and predicted to be fine tomorrow.
I noticed yesterday that Herr Clarkenfurhers picture in the NZ Herald was particularly flattering.
She should be careful or she will frighten little children and the stock!
As usual air-brushed to smooth out the wrinkles and make her look younger. During elections years ago, the air-brushing on billboards made her look like a super model. Vomitville.

Neither male or female would want that near your neither regains, unless you were really, really desperate and two bagged it
Thanks for your service chaps. My pension went in last night!

From out of the never never one of the most sneering pieces of labour shit arises to tell us all that Mark Carney of the MI6 generation is a wise bastard.

From V2’s link:
“When asked if it would be extraordinary for an investigation not to be launched given six people were presumed dead, Pope agreed but said they needed to understand the scope and context first before committing resources to a formal investigation.”
Worksafe are leaving wriggle room to back out if it gets too hard. The same pack of arseholes who will bankrupt a small businessman over a technicality have no stomach to take on a top heavy bureaucratic council with bottomless pockets with which to hire the best legal support.
Gutless pricks!
Luxon’s government has announced
$1 million in specific, immediate funding to reimburse marae that provided emergency welfare support during the recent North Island severe weather events.
This funding is designed to allow these marae to replenish supplies, repair damage, and build further resilience.
Key details regarding funding for marae and storm efforts under the current government include:
$1 Million Immediate Support (Jan 2026): Announced to support marae providing food, shelter, and care in affected regions.
$1.2 Million Mayoral Relief Fund: An additional $1.2 million was allocated to mayoral relief funds for immediate needs in the impacted regions.
How can one million dollars have been spent in one week?
But we know that from the “Covid Era.” People were dying because their employers told employees to get vaccinated. And what did Worksafe do? Nothing.
You’ll get fined if you tell an employee to climb a ladder the wrong way.
But you can enforce them to get an experimental bio weapon.
40 year old employee leaves for an hour to go to the vaccine clinic to comply, and never returns because he felt ill afterwards, went home, and found dead the next morning.
Where the hell was Worksafe? If the employer had insisted on employee drinking Tequila at smoko time, and employee went home sick, and found dead the next morning, employer would be in serious shit.
But a bio weapon? Nah all good.
If Worksafe were doing their job, they would have first visited the employer and on from there to put Bloomfield, Ardern and Hipkins in handcuffs, assisted by the police.
The employer potentially being liable for a mandated vaccine injury was a point I put forward in my submission to the company I was engaged with (when they were considering mandates).
They obviously didn’t care.
They don’t want to have to admit where the fault lies – with the iwi retards that insisted on ”decolonising” the hill by removing the ”colonial” trees and the council fuckwits who went along with it.
The land that slipped is not owned by council but it slipped into council owned land.
Was the land that slipped properly managed to prevent slipping occurring? For example proper management of erosion risks.
We know the council was advised not to build there which to anyone with common sense would also mean do not park uo a caravan there.

The universe was trying to warn the Tauranga Council numpties for hours before that disaster hit. How many warning slips, streams of runoff, emergency phone calls, etc does it take to make them think about evacuating the campers right under the Mount?!
Total incompetence.
Come on they where in the middle of a weather event.
Take a number and wait your turn.
The council will be with you, sometime later ( do they have an 0800 number or do have to use your own data while waiting.
From what I have read the “colonial trees” that were removed were not near the slip site. It seems that the trees removed above the site were pohutakawa which had some fungus issue. Removed between 2017 and 2019 if you look at the photos posted yesterday by Ian Wishart. I am not saying that IWI are blameless but that particular incident doesn’t seem to be the cause.
2018 was about when MPI & DOC were crapping themselves over myrtle rust which had arrived in NZ from Australia. Infected trees, usually pohutakawa, rata & eucalyptus were being cut down everywhere to stop the spread.
Yes myrtle rust was the reason given.
“Myrtle rust the reason given”.
well we all know that DOC has undertaken Maorifaction, that will be the reason.
It’s going to be blamed on Climate Change and the recommendation will be more taxes on energy.
Well, how are the council clipboard fellas going to know if the ground is waterlogged an due to go for a ride to the bottom of the hill?
I doubt if there is a box on their piece of paper to tick.
Do you think the council will know who it was doing the driving, from the GPS log!
Were they of to buy a pie after the shop opened or delivering the milk to the missus?
In their defence I will say this. There were probably park staff, there were 12 on the camp site at the time. They would have had no specific training nor indeed any specific disaster plan and no skills That would prepare them for what happened. They most likely had ni idea of whr could happen.
CAn’t blame them.
The training and H & S is squarely on the shoulders of the management of Bay Venues, operator of the site.
Some people right now are feeling pretty sick – they didn’t react at all well. Am not overly impressed with this.
“Luxon said at the press conference, “After all of these tragedies, we do an after-action review [that will ask] what have we learned?”
What we have learned – what a fucking weak as piss comment. Unless this enquiry gets some real traction it is heading for another whitewash.
…..”it is heading for another whitewash”…..
Drysdale & his suits will set the terms of reference for their inquiry so they can get the answers they want. Worksafe are snivelling at the prospect of taking on the Council already.
Were Justice Mahon still here to repeat his immortal line where he described Air NZ testimony over Mt Erebus as “an orchestrated litany of lies”.
Questions on Iran…. Trump needs to obliterate these fuckers… But the MSM are Islam apologists…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=velahIRCeGM
I don’t believe that’s the only equivalent in terms of a daily death rate. Pretty sure the Muslims killed way, way more hindus in India per day than that.
I am a little sceptical of the 30000 figure.
A young Swedish woman, who described herself as exceptionally beautiful and highly seductive, posted an anonymous ad on Craigslist. She was looking for a wealthy man to marry, specifically someone with an annual income of over $500,000, along with a few other conditions.
In response, a commenter, identifying himself as a professional investor, replied as follows:
My dear beautiful lady,
I read your post with interest, and I think many beautiful girls have similar thoughts to yours. Allow me to analyze your request from a business standpoint. My annual income is over $500,000, so I meet your financial requirements.
However, from my perspective as a businessman, it would be a poor decision for me to marry you. Here’s my short answer, and I’ll explain why:
“Regardless of the details, what you’re proposing is essentially a transaction. You offer your beauty in exchange for my money.”
In this scenario, Person A has beauty, and Person B pays for it. It’s a straightforward exchange. However, there’s a crucial problem: your beauty will inevitably fade over time, whereas my wealth is likely to grow.
From an economic viewpoint, I represent an asset that appreciates over time, while you represent a consumable asset that depreciates. If your beauty is your only asset, the situation will worsen because, unlike regular consumer products, your beauty will depreciate at a much faster rate and will lose its value within 10 years.
But you never included the fringe benefits, my friend!
It’s called the Megan Markel effect. A high class HO.
She says she can command a nightly fee of $30,000 for services rendered and others have said anything goes, with her!
Nz horrid says the poolice are unsure how many bodies are recovered from the mount slip. I thought it would be hard to misplace a body or two.
It’s not as though it’s going to get up and runaway and play hide and seek!
That’s quite disengenuos sooty.
They will have recovered body parts.
The force of the crushing, the use of diggers and so on will have had it effect.
Apart from that there is a coroners process to go through.
Given the end game is only about 6, it’s hard to believe they lost count.
I mean they can’t have even used all the fingers on one hand.
Interesting article:
Old photos of Mauao show plenty of evidence of past landslide scars, so that is a well known risk factor that doesn’t need “climate change” to explain it.
The fact that the mount absorbed 50% more water in May 2005 without slipping onto the camp is strongly indicative that the trees protected the slope.
Equally, the collapse of the slope 8 years after half the trees were removed is also strong evidence of at least a correlation.
https://centrist.nz/ian-wishart-are-climate-activists-ignoring-the-evidence-at-mt-maunganui/
RNZ has some warning about AI stuff relating to this. Can’t let anyone ay anything unless its from “the Podium Of Truth Mk2” Fucking sick of the cover ups and lack of objective news reporting…
Will anyone be held accountable? Don’t hold your breath.
When cultural PC costs lives. The slip occurred exactly below where the trees were removed. Will anyone, any policy be held to account? Or will we have the climate narrative shoved down our throats while the climate idiots climb on the backs of those who lost their lives to promote their ideology.

It’s colonialism’s fault. Because it always is.
That’s why we have to continually pay to appease the present day partly Maori.
I’m sure that the if we paid a heap more money to some one or outfit it would be solved. We are just fighting about who will receive all of the dosh and can they hide it!
They are having a moan because some people are bypassing the closed signs on the mount and climbing to the top.
Not everyone believes in ancient mumbo jumbo and say Fuck Off!

There is an article out there telling people to go to RNZ for the truth about the land slip up north . Are the powers that be doing a cindy and trying to be the sole source of truth again.
You mean the slip down South?
There’s an article about it in the NZH today, and I’m starting to wonder if I’m getting early onset dementia.
posting twice, we can confirm that its happening.

ffs, its only taken 4 or 5 fucking years and a murder and endless police callouts, raids and arrests.
seriously tho if anyone is looking to take ownership of a campground and turn it into a festering shithole full of dero bene scum where no visitor in their right mind would actually camp then get in contact with the clowns that leased the place as they are experts in it.
HP did you ever stay there on your travels or just go straight to the showgrounds?
used to be s pretty good campground but jacindas kindness destroyed it when her govt paid stupid money to house the most feral scum around, they got in a bunch of those portable units for fuck all and the govt paid big bux like they did elsewhere around nz to house undesirables which at the time was lots of monrel mob scum that come down from up north, now its got no hopers from all walks of life. just before xmas some kids found a junkies needle kit out front on the footpath ffs.
No, always the Showgrounds – didn’t know there was one.
This shit has gone down all over the country. Most camping grounds in or around cities are run down dumps full of surly, scowling “permanents” with attitude along with their feral loin fruit. Shitbox cars, shabby caravans & repurposed buses that will never see the highway again aided & abetted by WINZ case managers who see the parks as spillover accommodation for the dregs of society.
Once they get to over about 25% of the muster the word goes out & the grey nomads who used to “winter over” in such locales won’t go near them. Petone, Mauley Park in Masterton, Gateway in Featherston……all look like 3rd world refugee camps.
Not near a spot that could suffer from a landslide?
unfortunately not, smack bang in middle of town. i think the appeal to the ferals was its location is within smelling distance of kfc with maccas only another 100m walk further.
Send this to any woke almond milk fuckwit
California’s Central Valley produces 80% of the world’s almonds. Each almond requires 3.2 gallons of actual irrigation water to grow. Not rainfall. Actual tap water pumped from aquifers.
One gallon of almond milk requires 162 gallons of irrigation water. Compare that to dairy milk at 8 gallons of tap water per gallon, with the rest being rainfall that falls on pasture anyway.
But here’s where it gets properly grim. Almonds bloom for exactly three weeks in February. During those three weeks, California needs every pollinating bee in North America transported to the Central Valley or the crop fails entirely.
Commercial beekeepers truck in 31 billion honeybees. That’s two-thirds of America’s entire managed bee population, all concentrated in one valley for three weeks. The bees are packed into trucks, driven across the country, dumped into almond groves drenched in pesticides, worked to exhaustion, then packed up and shipped to the next crop.
The mortality rate is catastrophic. Beekeepers report losing 30 to 50% of their hives annually. That’s billions of bees dead. Not from natural causes. From being used as disposable pollination machines for your almond milk.
The pesticides don’t help. Almond groves are sprayed with neonicotinoids which scramble bee navigation systems, fungicides which weaken their immune systems, and herbicides which eliminate the wildflowers they’d normally forage on between almond blooms.
Meanwhile the aquifer depletion is permanent. The Central Valley has sunk 28 feet in some areas from groundwater extraction. That water took 10,000 years to accumulate. It’s being drained in decades for almond milk.
Your vegan latte killed more bees and used more water than a year’s worth of dairy milk. But it’s got “plant-based” on the label so you’re definitely saving the planet.
Same for Kiwifruit.
Kiwifruit is a wind-pollinated flower.
Bee hives lose weight during that time.
Bees are not silly.
In no time at all, they move off the orchard and find other flowers with nectar.
The stupid beekeepers who get sucked in feed them lolly water, which gives the bees the shits, and they die.
Opens the hive to Fowl Brood as well.
Interesting fact. A lot of Kiwifruit is covered over, and the bees lose their sense of direction (no sun), so to help the poor buggers find home, the orchardists put big colourful pictures of a flower in the corners on a post so the bees can find their way home.
foul brood.
bees life cycle is about 6wks so dont get too upset at them dying.
theyre cool creatures tho and arent made for that intense pollination bullshit and is a cruel practice.
i loved it when we had hives, i especially love catching swarms and still do when i find them or someone lets me know. but we have lots of fucking cunt wasps around here, i nuke lots of nests but the fuckers travel miles just to kill my hives and steal the brood and honey.
even if i put robber bars on or close the entrances a few days the fuckers are relentless and return until the hives are destroyed. i only had 6 hives, think you need 20+ to have enough of an army to fight off the cunt wasps.
…..”The stupid beekeepers who get sucked in feed them lolly water, which gives the bees the shits, and they die.”…..
It probably doesn’t worry the beekeepers too much. I got talking to a Masterton McAuley’s Transport (now part of Move) driver in Kaitaia a few years back. Asked him what he was doing so far north & it was delivering beehives for pollination purposes in Pukenui. Avocados I think. Their previous workout had been in a large orchard in Greytown & then they were heading back down to the BoP.
From memory the going rate was $35/week/hive plus transport & setting up costs. If they produced honey it was well & good but the primary purpose was pollination.
They tip toe around the issue and say that the absence of the trees didn’t “cause” the landslide. Well we all know that – it was triggered by the weather. But read between the lines and he is admitting that if the trees were present, they could have prevented it.
The headline question itself is disingenuous: “Did tree removal really trigger the Mauao landslide?”. That is NOT what people are asserting.
Gotta hate the media.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360930148/did-tree-removal-really-trigger-mauao-landslide
The contempt in which I hold the indigenous pricks who would find racism in a tree is immeasurable but the tree removal that occasioned the slip may have been for a different purpose. Our fellow commentator, Curious, referred to an article on the subject by Ian Wishart. From https://centrist.nz/ian-wishart-are-climate-activists-ignoring-the-evidence-at-mt-maunganui/
#. “Geotechnical engineer Rod Kane, in a Facebook post Saturday, noted that tree roots left in the ground after chopping start to rot, and over time they allow water to surge into the rotting root cavities and sluice the hillside. It appears this may have been exactly what happened.”
#. “Kane’s post discussed a joint Tauranga Council/Iwi decision in 2023 to remove exotic oaks, pine and chestnuts from Mauao for Māori spiritual and anti-colonial reasons, but those trees were further away and not connected to the slip area, which, remember, was cleared in 2017.
Instead, news reports indicated concern in 2017 and 2019 about myrtle rust attacking Mauao’s Pohutukawa, and it appears those trees were the type culled from the hillside above the camp.”
Yet hating the media is good advice. We can never hate them too much.
That bit about the tree roots came from myself. Thank you.
Have seen it happen in my local park and in the bush.
Racist. How do you sleep at night.
This kind of puts the Tauranga landslip into perspective:
