yup thats how pathetic the writer of art of the deal really is when hes trying to deal with iran. what a fucking weak TACO piece of shit.
the orange fucktard obviously never got in a scrap at school to learn that even if someone gets beaten and bloodied they can still get the better of the bully and beat then in other ways.
i think whats even more retatded abd pathetic then trumps negotiations with iran is that maga cultists still think the orange moron is great… dumbarses
anyways i rekon its gunna be a great day fishing, i expect to catch my quota of downtickusloserous and also upsetustrumpcocksuckerous 🙂
It is really great having a CNN correspondent that again is able to take in the military understanding like of General Petraeus that won the ‘hearts & minds’ of the Afghanistans, & so good at replenshing the Taliban’s arsenal.
Retiring to achieve a directorship in the CIA, now retired.
Just loves to pontificate on the Ukraine, Gaza, Iran, like our Auntie Helen, & Big Sis. Ardern & again we are so privileged to receive such words & understanding to extend our humanity. 😂🤣😃
hey hunty!
heres a competition you may excel at, youll have proper technique just maybe work on the noise and youll be 1st place i rekon 🙂

Pit Bulls are like Moslems.

The point now is that pit bulls are recognized by authorities, so they demand that your lovely peaceful pit-bull to be speyed or neutred.
Now the go ahead by the immigration Department to gain points for entry, ……
Are the unionists teachers?
……. The [Teacher’] Trade Unions’ essential objection to the curriculum changes is the removal of this statement:
“‘A critical maths pedagogical approach uses maths to develop critical awareness about wider social, environmental, political, ideological, and economic issues.
Critical maths recognises the importance of understanding, interpreting, and addressing issues of power, social justice and equity in the community and the wider world.
Ākonga are encouraged to interrogate dominant discourses and assumptions, including that maths is benign, neutral, and culture-free.’“
https://nitter.net/simonranderson/status/2051875084831469996
So it would seem that coming election will decide if the changes put in place about what the children will be taught, will become established & bedded in.
…. No organisation representing teachers or principals has spoken out in support of the government’s changes, but Stanford claimed most teachers backed her. ….
…… New Zealand Initiative researcher Michael Johnston said the opposition was noisy, but he was not sure it represented the majority of teachers and principals. …..

The changes inside the New Zealand’s systemic education department has been ramping up for a number of decades.
They know what they are doing & what they intend.
Stuffing up basic English literacy, trading it out to maori language, numeracy making more complex, along with bringing in humanity issues.
All so other agendas are the issue, priming to make points for like Climate Change, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion DEI, Race, Genderization, Indigenous, He Puapua obligations, and what further activism needs to be done. etc., etc..
The school curriculum was altered to promote Nazi ideology and all young people were expected to join a Nazi youth organisation such as the Hitler Youth.
Hitler famously stated, When an opponent declares,:— ‘I will not come over to your side,’
I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already. You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp.
In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.

Just as the Soviets set up the “young Pioneers” so the authorities could own & possess them.
Critical Mathematics is part of Critical Pedagogy. It isn’t critical thinking. It claims to have the “true” (“critical”) consciousness. It’s just Neo-Marxist bovine scatology.
Its entire project is to turn children into Marxists. It has no other purpose.
My article on the topic: Critical Mathematics: Numbers Bent into Ideology – No Minister
I think Hitler may have been right.
Hitler was right about a lot of things. However, he was also wrong on others. In terms of Military strategy, he was not that great, his Generals were good, but he interfered too much too often. Trying to work out why he hated so many so irrationally is hard to fathom. Unfortunately many of our present day wannabee dictators don’t realize how similar to Hitler they actually are

🧵The NZ-India Free Trade Agreement, complete list. What each country actually gave up.
🇳🇿 WHAT NEW ZEALAND OPENED:
• Every category of goods. Food, machinery, chemicals, vehicles, textiles, every line. Tariff goes to zero on day one. No exclusions, no phasing in, no quotas.
• Every service sector. NZ is open to Indian companies by default, apart from a specific list of what stays protected: Air NZ ownership, Chorus ownership, ACC, KiwiSaver, public health and education, fishing access, gambling, tobacco and alcohol retail, Fonterra and Zespri’s structures, the Treaty of Waitangi exception (for digital trade only). Notable examples of what NZ did NOT put on the protection list: Spark, 2degrees, One NZ, the banking sector, electricity generation, ports and airports, doctors and dentists, private schools, universities, audit firms, aged care, newspapers, law firms.
• A commitment to push US$20 billion (around NZ$33 billion) of NZ investment into India over 15 years. India has no reciprocal target to invest in NZ. If NZ underdelivers, India alone decides whether NZ has fallen short. India alone decides what “proportionate” tariff claw-back to apply. NZ cannot challenge any of it through any panel. The political pressure to deliver lands on NZ Super Fund, ACC, KiwiSaver providers and large NZ corporates to direct savings to India for treaty-performance reasons rather than commercial return.
• 1,000 Indian working holiday visas a year. Nothing equivalent for young New Zealanders going to India.
• 4,100 visa-holders present at any one time across capped skilled-worker categories (IT, engineering, construction, teachers, nurses, physios, plus 600 reserved spots for chefs, yoga teachers, classical musicians and Ayush practitioners).
• An uncapped channel for Indian companies operating in NZ to bring in their own staff with no cap and labour market tests banned. Much like the controversial US H1B – though it is capped at 85,000 per year, is for any company, and has a $100,000 fee.
• Uncapped Indian international student visas. Extended locked-in 2, 3 and 4 year post-study work visas.
• Legally protect the basmati name for Indian rice growers within 18 months.
• Stop NZ insurers from being told to exclude coverage of homeopathy and traditional Indian medicine.
• Working with India on connecting NZ’s payment systems to India’s national instant-payment network and building central bank digital currencies (like a digital NZ dollar issued by the Reserve Bank). The Reserve Bank of NZ now has obligations on payments policy that it didn’t have before. Future decisions about how NZ’s payment systems develop are tied to bilateral commitments with India rather than purely Reserve Bank policy.
• If any future trade deal that NZ signs includes better services terms, it gets automatically extended to India. India made no equivalent commitment to NZ so it can give other countries better terms than it gave NZ.
• NZ taxpayers and industry help commercialise Indian apple, kiwifruit, honey and wine growers to upgrade their orchards and supply chains. The same growers we’d be competing with. India can suspend the small NZ market access quotas if it judges we underdelivered. NZ Crown research institutes (Plant & Food Research, AgResearch, Scion) and industry levy bodies (Zespri, NZ Apples & Pears, Apiculture NZ) must divert research budgets and grower-funded levies to build Indian capacity.
As mentioned here, needs to be shared far & wide.

One may have to click on “reload” to get it to go through.
Also many good comments on this Trade deal & the effects on NZ
Really what did Luxsingh achieve like for example:—-
What was ever really stopping Indians buying wool & leather goods in the first place, as it was their Hindian country that placed the tarriffs on those goods in the first place.
Thanks Ryan Henderson for going through the deed of sale, exposing it summarizing detail.
+ Ed bringing it to light on YSB.
🇮🇳 WHAT INDIA OPENED ON DAY ONE:
• Sheep meat. India barely produces sheep.
• Wool. India needs raw wool for its textile mills.
• Logs, sawn wood and timber. India needs timber.
• Wood pulp and paper.
• Raw cotton fabric. India’s textile industry needs the input.
• Raw leather hides. India’s leather industry needs the input.
• Copper, nickel, aluminium, rare earth ores.
• Coal.
• Chemical and plastic inputs Indian manufacturers need.
• Computers and IT hardware.
• Iron and steel base products.
• Aircraft.
• Stone, ceramics, glass containers.
Pattern: India opened the raw materials its own export industries need to import.
🚫🇮🇳 WHAT INDIA PROTECTED FOREVER:
• All dairy (milk powder, butter, cheese, infant formula, dairy ingredients) at 30 to 60 percent tariffs. Fonterra’s main export categories. The exception is access for NZ dairy ingredients used for Indian export manufacturing. India captures the value-add margin.
• All meat except sheep. Beef, pork, poultry, goat, offal.
• All tea at 110 percent. All coffee at 100 to 110 percent. All spices at 33 to 77 percent. All edible oils. All sugar at 110 percent.
• 89 percent of vehicles. Cars at 70 to 137 percent. Motorcycles. Tractors. Vehicle parts. The 11 percent India accepted: bicycles, wheelchairs and baby carriages.
• 97 percent of ships. Every vessel including fishing vessels and naval craft.
• Half of consumer electronics. Mobile phones, semiconductors, integrated circuits and cathode-ray displays walled off. The half India accepted is industrial transformers, lighting and power conversion gear.
• All primary aluminium. The Tiwai Point smelter’s main export.
• All gold and all jewellery.
• Most major medical devices. MRI, ECG, dialysis, defibrillators, syringes, catheters, anaesthetic equipment all excluded. Sorry Fisher and Paykel. India phased in surgical instruments, endoscopes, hearing aids, X-ray and CT scanners over 10 years. While protecting these from NZ exports, India required NZ’s Medsafe to accept Indian device approvals without inspecting them.
• Two thirds of plastics. The third India accepted is specialty industrial resins (Teflon-type, polyurethanes, silicones, epoxies). Mass-market polymers walled off.
• All petrol. All ethanol blend fuel.
• All processed traditional Indian medicines including Ayurvedic and homeopathic preparations.
• Most processed fruit and vegetable products. India accepted only roasted cashews and ground nuts over 7 to 10 years. Pickles, chutneys, jams, juices, preserved vegetables walled off.
• All tobacco. 71 percent of books and printed material (greeting cards in, books and newspapers out). Almost half of finished textile products like sheets and towels.
• The right to slap punitive “anti-dumping” tariffs on NZ exports any time India decides NZ exporters are selling too cheap. NZ has no way to challenge those tariffs through the deal’s dispute system. India launches more anti-dumping investigations than any other country in the world. Fonterra has been hit with this before on milk powder.
So even when NZ exports clear the tariff schedule, India can slap a new tariff on top under a different label, and NZ cannot push back.
🏆🗒️A NOTE ON THE WINS GOVERNMENT IS TOUTING:
• Wine. The “phased over 10 years” headline applies only to bottles above US$5/750ml CIF. Below that, the 150 percent wall stays forever. Most NZ bulk Sauvignon Blanc exports stay locked out.
• Honey. Listed alongside other wins. The actual deal is a 200-tonne quota for mānuka honey priced between US$20 and US$30 per kg, conditional on NZ delivering the Action Plan. Generic non-mānuka honey is excluded entirely at 66 percent. Tiny ceiling, permanent tariff floor on the bulk.
• Horticulture. Cherries, avocados and berries are folded in alongside kiwifruit and apples as winners. The schedule says otherwise. Strawberries, peaches, nectarines, plums, mangoes and pomegranates: EXCLUDED. Raspberries, blackberries, currants and apricots: reduced to half tariff only, never reach zero. Avocados and sweet cherries: 10-year phase-in. Only kiwifruit and apples got the TRQs, and those are conditional on NZ delivering the Action Plans.
• Banking. India agreed to issue 15 bank branch licences for NZ banks over 4 years. That is the entire concrete financial-services concession from India to NZ. Every branch still needs Reserve Bank of India approval. Foreign banks combined cannot exceed 15 percent of Indian banking assets. ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Kiwibank, Westpac and TSB do not have major Indian operations to expand. The “win” largely serves Indian needs: remittance infrastructure for Indian migrants in NZ, and trade finance for the Indian businesses set to benefit from the deal’s tariff opening.
🇳🇿🤝🇮🇳🖊️ THE DEAL:
NZ opened every category of goods on day one and every service sector by default.
India opened raw materials its factories need to import. Then it protected every value-added sector where it has either a domestic industry to defend or an export industry to retain.
This is not a comprehensive Free Trade Agreement on both sides. It is NZ giving up the entirety of its market in exchange for India giving up the categories it had no reason to keep tariffs on in the first place.
Sources: NZ-India FTA tariff schedules (Appendix 2A-1, 2A-2), services and migration annexes (8C, 8F, 8I, 8K, 8L), investment chapter (9), medical devices (7A), Action Plans (14A, 2B), trade remedies (Article 5.11), TSD chapter (12), cultural and traditional knowledge chapter (13).

Well it looks like Winston & Shane were right when they said the deal was not good for NZ.
Welcome to New India! Thanks Mr Luxsingh.
Some of my best friends are Indians
knock knock….
So are mine. But why did my friends come here? Was it for the place to be like “home”? Pretty sure from previous discussions that’s a no.
Yup I don’t have a problem with Currys. The ones I know are bloody hard workers.
To be fair, I’ve worked with a few dodgy ones too. Fair bit of bullshit, and could handle reporting to female boss. Think where they come from makes a difference.
But, but… the theory is you can take any Indian or African, etc from the bush, drop them in the West and they’ll instantly behave and respond like the resident population. //
‘Western immigration authorities have not asked what immigrants beliefs are on how they feel about democracy, other religions and how they feel about living with other cultures, etc’

on X there is a channel Radiogenoa specializes in showing peaceful integration into society….////////
Above should read “some of the blokes could NOT handle reporting to female”
Sky Fairy belief matters too. There are plenty of Indians who prostate themselves towards Mecca, they could well be a problem.
They tend to be the minority, and fortunately, they not as rabid as the Arab version. Most of the ferals are in Pakistan.

Anyone know how to get in on these deals? ( I have no idea how this works, if someone could enlighten me please…. )
I do know it looks dodgy…
BREAKING: According to our analysis, ~$920 million worth of crude oil shorts were taken 70 minutes before an Axios report claimed the US and Iran were near a “14-point” deal to end the war.
At 3:40 AM ET today, nearly 10,000 contracts worth of crude oil shorts were taken without any major news.
This is equivalent to ~$920 million in notional value, an unusually large trade for 3:40 AM ET.
At 4:50 AM ET, just 70 minutes later, Axios reported that the US is “close” to a “memorandum of understanding” to end the Iran War.
By 7:00 AM ET, oil prices had fallen over -12% with these crude oil shorts gaining approximately +$125 million.
Minutes later, Iran launched the “Persian Gulf Strait Authority” and oil prices surged +8%.

theres several reasons why he runs his mouth talking utter lies and bullshit aswell as being TACO.
its how his corrupt family and mates get rich.
you really think trump jr, barron, kushner and even trump are that lucky to make a combined 6 or 7 billion so far this potus term?
“trumps so nice he dosent even take the 400k salary”…. yea but hes made 4billion via kickbacks and corruption instead.
Exact proof or it didn’t happen, and you are talking out thy ass as usual.
typo, should be 1.4billion not 4 billion.
you lot thought nancy pelosi shouldve been goneburgers for insider trading why the crickets if trump and his family/mates do the same?????
if you take trumps cock out your mouth youll be able to give a clear answer
Looks suspiciously like insider trading. Unfortunately rol you and I are never going to be privy to this sort of information.

Some years ago a flying saucer touched down in a park in Auckland. The alien got out & to his horror saw he had landed on one of the earthlings squashing it flat. Being a peaceful friendly alien, he decided to save the creature & put it back together but having never seen a human he did what he could with the bits he could salvage, then took off to return & try first contact some other time.
The next day a man walking his dog found a pair of human buttocks alive & talking through it’s sphincter. It said “blah blah blah India FTA bollocks”.

So Ed’s comment of FAFO above could be what Musk could set up & do that FAFO.

If only it were true I’d watch it ten times. This comment to the article says it best:
“Of all the thing that didn’t happen this didn’t happen the most … find the story, there isn’t one.”
Is the guy saying there is no story in the MSM ? Of course there would not be –the European MSM is just the same as elsewhere, onside with the governing class.

Talk about money pits. US NGOs are rolling in it.
https://t.me/thewhiterosenz/197707/346753
“India and Japan’s GDP each just over $4 trillion, Germany $5 trillion, about $13.5 trillion together. Guess what? The combined assets held by US NGOs equals $14.2 trillion of your tax money and that of your children and grandchildren and great-great-great-great-great grandchildren.
Grok says that the figure is approximately right but the post is mis-leading.
“Important Context (The Misleading Parts)
Bottom line:
The $14 trillion asset figure is real and the comparison to Japan + Germany + India GDP is roughly correct. However, the post dramatically overstates the “your tax money” angle for rhetorical effect. Most of the wealth is privately accumulated, not direct taxpayer funds (though nonprofits do receive significant government funding and tax advantages).
This is a classic example of a technically accurate statistic wrapped in sensational, misleading commentary.”
I think you are relying Grok too much. It will getting info from responses in the MSM to article which we know cannot be relied on.
I very much doubt Grok is wrong on that analysis. The answer makes sense. I would put my money on Grok over some random poster on Telegram.
I’ve read an estimate that the NZ franchises of the Anglican, Catholic & Methodist churches are collectively worth more than $10 billion. Imagine the good that real estate could be put to.
Alas it’s controlled by a pack of skybayers whose idol was quoted as saying “do not lay up for yourselves treasure on earth, but store your treasure on heaven.”
How do these Godly folk get to be rich? Is there some connection between religious faith and business acumen?
There might be. There’s certainly no connection between religious faith & honesty or trustworthiness in any business dealings. If you shake hands with a Godnutter it is best to stocktake your fingers afterwards.
To paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson.
‘The louder he talked of his faith, the faster we counted our spoons’.
Yes, but you got to practice…..
So there’s truth to the rumour that if you can’t take it with you you’re not going?
You’re buggered then.
