Both memes are great today Ed, The big worry is incase they vaccinate you while under anaesthetic its a very scary thought.
The other meme is a certainty, with both John key and Chris luxon both prostitutes for the Chinese communist party, and the maori party and who knows what else they have cooked up for us.
Another misery day here in the Waikato been raining a lot of the night and looks to be no improvement this morning. Ah happy days.
Have a good day while you still can.

Not sure how they manage that conflict of interests instead of our own.
Then of course you add in WEF and it makes a world soup that Kiwi’s never voted for.
At least with David lange we knew exactly what our principles were.
Another wet day which we really rather need.
Talking to my SIL from Turangi yesterday. Been there for 15 years or more and she mentioned that she had never seen the Lake so low.
Son says there is very little snow on the mountains as well. Looks a lot but really only barley covering the rocks.
Either we get more winter to come or we are in for big power shortages.
You wonder where your money goes.
Fish farm in Ruakākā headed for world stage officially opened
It’s official — a new state-of-the-art land-based farming facility in Ruakākā, capable of producing about 600 tonnes of kingfish yearly, is up and running.
In only 12 months a tiny, millimetre-long egg is being grown into a high-value 3kg white-fleshed fish.
The facility at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research’s (Niwa) Northland Aquaculture Centre was formally opened this week by Whangārei MP Dr Shane Reti.

The apparent lack of ‘protest’ does make one wonder what ‘gifts of a financial nature’ were given to local ‘special interest’ groups, and to which individuals within said groups…
A little boy goes to his father and asks, “Daddy, how was I born?”
The father answers,
“Well, son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, and googled each other. There your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a little Pop-Up appeared that said: ‘You’ve got male!’”🤣
Monkeypox has been rebranded as MMMpox.

The Timeless Truth About Tyranny According to Aristotle
https://youtu.be/2gkYbrzMAE4
12 mins 41 secs : Aug 9, 2024 : Legendary Lore :
Is your government slowly becoming tyrannical? Aristotle warned us 2,300 years ago.
In this eye-opening exploration of Aristotle’s analysis of tyranny, we delve into the timeless insights of one of history’s greatest political thinkers. Drawing from Aristotle’s great work “Politics,” we uncover the mechanisms of tyrannical rule that are as relevant today as they were in ancient Greece.
Discover how Aristotle’s experiences with the Thirty Tyrants of Athens and his personal relationship with the tyrant Hermias shaped his understanding of unjust rule.
Learn the tactics tyrants use to rise to power and maintain their grip on society – from manipulating public opinion to undermining social trust.
We’ll explore the true nature of tyranny according to Aristotle, how tyrants differ from legitimate rulers, the ways tyrannies often come to power, Aristotle’s list of tyrannical tactics, many still used today, and why Aristotle believed all tyrannies are doomed to fail.
Though it gives the impression of things becoming sorted, beware as for many they & their progeny will live with it for their lifetimes plus the effects afterward.
Like North Korea now in its 3rd generation of tryrant.
USSR 1922 -1991
Islam, in cycles with its koranic/hadith dictates. with only 1 country Spain that self cleared.
From some of the comments:—
“Just because you do not take an interest in politics, doesn’t mean politics won’t take an interest in you.” – Pericles 400’s BC
“The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.”
– Tacitus
…. the majority of laws being drafted nowadays are terrible.
There are only so many good laws that can be implemented, but the amount of bad laws that can be implemented is endless.
“The best Governor, governs least”.
– Lao Tzu
“When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.” – Thomas Jefferson
…………………
As Ed shows above, the tyrannical support from the willing ‘lipsticked’ tweedle Dee & Dum swapping puppets/prostitutes.
Aristotle .
I have always wondered how someone so long ago made such incredible observations that are relevant today.
Gary Judd referred to him in his column yesterday and he is up there in my respect for interpretation of law.
A glimpse of the “mission” that will creepily become wide spread & enforced.
Staff at Britain’s Home Office, roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security,
have been instructed to make every other social event alcohol-free amid concerns over inclusivity.
Sources say senior bureaucrats want to make sure “every other social isn’t the pub” at a time when Muslims
—who are forbidden to drink alcohol—
are becoming an increasingly large share of the population, particularly in London and other urban centers.
[snip]
Other departments, including the Department for Culture, Media, and Sport (DCMS),
have similarly been encouraging staff to limit drinking during social events.
A DCMS insider mentioned that during all-staff meetings,
senior leadership consistently advises against heavy drinking at large social gatherings.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/08/to_keep_muslims_happy_the_uk_s_labour_party_wants_to_destroy_pub_culture.html
At least the hookah pipe will eventually be the new alternative??
;or will it when the NZ Health Ministry action even more laws for your good. cough cough.
…. & it all that is supposedly “haram” forbidden in Islam too.
from above S1
“Staff at Britain’s Home Office, roughly equivalent to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security,
have been instructed to make every other social event alcohol-free amid concerns over inclusivity.”
Righto
are they going to put white, christian 13 year old girls on the block at these functions
to, you know, be inclusive of the invaders traditions ??
NB. There is no way the home office is equiv to Homeland security.
Home Office is a a large bureaucratic Brit Dept that issues passports and the like.
Homeland Security in the USA is spook central populated by extreme psychopaths who are too extreme even for the CIA.
Cold pressed killers.
nasska, it all depends on how you pull or push it.
…. supposedly “haram” forbidden in Islam too.
It seems the muslims want their cake of supposed ME culture & eat it too.\
Even a quote here from a young New Zealand muslim.
….. In regards to why there is a growing number of Muslim youth smoking Hookah in the West, Aliya Rizvi, 19, of New Zealand said,
“As we rule out many Haram activities which today’s non-Muslim youth enjoy doing, such as clubbing, going to concerts, and Friday night parties, being able to smoke Hookah and going to Shisha bars is something which many youth feel is social, fun, and is also not Haram to my knowledge.
Many of my friends have Hookahs at home, so it costs them next to nothing to smoke it when they want to.”
However, Islamic law on this issue is much more complicated than that.
All Hookah smokers are encouraged to investigate the rulings of their respective Religious Authorities (Maraja Taqleed) regarding smoking tobacco, particularly if you are a youth who enjoys Hookah smoking and are relying on your Hookah-addicted friend’s dad’s uncle’s theory that Hookah is far from being prohibited and might actually be a highly recommended act in Islam.
Following are the rulings of a few Religious Authorities on this issue. ….
https://www.islamicinsights.com/news/community/hookah-myth-and-reality.html
Some how it depends on how powerful the urge is for control over others & is it possible to be mandated.
In the mean time, control many others via shutting down alcohol consumption, & cost more by increasing halal food requirement controls.
……”it all depends on how you pull or push it.”……
True. It can also depend on what you put in your hookah. The water pipe is thought to have been developed in India about the 7th Century AD which easily explains its spread throughout the Islamic controlled ME.
But the tobacco plant was endemic to South America & wasn’t introduced to Europeans until the Spanish explorers brought it back with them in 1528. Its use subsequently spread east through Asia but not until the late 16th century. Worthy of note is that cannabis indica is native to the border areas between modern day Afghanistan & Pakistan.
So what did the early hookah users smoke?
…….”all that is supposedly “haram” forbidden in Islam too”…….
Not so. The Quran makes mention of wine but there’s nothing about marijuana in any of the Islamic texts. As we would expect from any group of religious nutters determined to wipe out any traces of temporal enjoyment the Iranian authorities are working on banning the herb but they’re struggling to justify their stance.
……”While the prohibition of wine is an agreed matter based on the explicit Koranic forbiddance, references to hashish, cannabis and other hemp derivatives are absent from the sacred text. “……
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6153265/
Worth mentioning that the OT which all three Abrahamic religions are based on gives the recipe for “anointing oil”. As described in the original Hebrew version of the recipe in Exodus (30:22-23) dated circa 1450BC, it contained over six pounds of kaneh-bosem, a substance identified by respected etymologists, linguists, anthropologists, botanists & other researchers as cannabis, extracted into about six quarts of olive oil, along with a variety of other fragrant herbs. The ancient anointed ones were literally drenched in this potent mixture.”
No wonder they dreamt up all the Godcrap. They would have been fried out of their tiny minds 24/7. 🙂
Capital punishment in Egypt included slowly being dissolved alive in a slightly more potent embalming fluid. Infanticide was included in these crimes and so Egyptians had big families. We won’t mention the brother sister love stuff though.

While staying in South Auckland recently a bloke chatted up a bird at a
local bar & soon they found themselves back in his motel room.
Immediately, he started rubbing his hands all over her body.
“Ooh,” she giggled, “seems like we’re having it rough tonight.”
“No,” he replied, “I’m just making sure you’re not hiding any weapons.”
being south auckland the weapon is most likely the child support generator between her legs.
Policy, policy, policy. Are you better off now?

Mark Robinson: This Is What I Told A Young Woman Who Said She’s Voting For Kamala Harris And Me
Ed and Carolyn met while on a singles cruise and Ed fell head over heels for her.
When they discovered they lived in the same city only a few miles apart Ed was ecstatic. He immediately started asking her out when they got home.
Within a couple of weeks, Ed had taken Carolyn to dance clubs, restaurants, concerts, movies, and museums. Ed became convinced that Carolyn was indeed his soul mate…and true love.
Every date seemed better than the last. On the one-month anniversary of their first dinner on the cruise ship, Ed took Carolyn to a fine restaurant.
While having cocktails and waiting for their salad, Ed said, “I guess you can tell I’m very much in love with you. I’d like a little serious talk before our relationship continues to the next stage.
So, before I get a box out of my jacket and ask you a life changing question, it’s only fair to warn you, I’m a total golf nut. I play golf, I read about golf, I watch golf on TV.
In short, I eat, sleep, and breathe golf. If that’s going to be a problem for us, you’d better say so now!” Carolyn took a deep breath and responded, “Ed that certainly won’t be a problem. I love you as you are and I love golf too; but, since we’re being totally honest with each other, you need to know that for the last five years I’ve…I’ve been a hooker.”
“That’s alright.” Ed said, “I bet it’s because you’re not keeping your wrists straight when you hit the ball.”

Not long I reckon. and iy will hurt.
The Russians may have future trouble from the Far East.
China remembers how the Russians took northern Manchuria (where Vladivostok sits) in the 1860s and may want it back.
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Manchuria#:~:text=In%201860%2C%20at%20the%20Convention,Chinese%20half%20known%20as%20Manchuria.
And let’s not forget Japan’s desire for the return of the Kuril Islands off the coast of Hokkaido, occupied by the Soviets at the end of the Pacific War.
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuril_Islands_dispute
If Russia were to become weak, China and Japan might be tempted to undertake some restorative justice.
Egyptians used 30 days months in their calendar way back in 4000BC. With a bonus 5 days at the end of every year.
After a few thousand years they noticed the years getting out of whack so added a Solar adjustment.
Then Caesar muscled in and added leap years every fourth and even renamed the month of Sextilis after himself.
We now use Pope Gregory’s calendar which skips leap years every 400 years.
My OCD will show its own way out.
Which Caesar
Augustus
or Julius ?

Mrs SB was in the kitchen fiddling around when she hollers out…. “SB, you need to go out and fix da outhouse!”
SB replies, “Dere ain’t nuthin wrong wid da outhouse.”
Mrs yells back, “Yes dere is; now git out dere and fix it.”
So…….SB mosies out to the outhouse, looks around and yells back, ” dere ain’t nuthin wrong wid dis outhouse cher! ”
Mrs SB replies, “Stick yur head in da hole!”
SB yells back, “I ain’t stickin my head in dat hole!”
Mrs SB says, “Ya have to stick yur head in da hole to see what to fix.”
So with that, SB sticks his head in the hole, looks around and yells back,” – Dere ain’t nuthin wrong with dis outhouse!”
Mrs SB hollers back, “Now take your head out of da hole!”
SB proceeds to take his head out of the hole, and then starts yelling,
Help! My beard is stuck in da cracks in da toilet seat!”
Mrs SB replies, .

This forum is not exactly friendly to people who make a career out of bludging welfare assistance & long may it stay that way. Yet when you read of blatant ignorance & lack of understanding by those charged with administering welfare it makes one wonder what deserving cases go through.

Yesterday someone posted a twitter post suggesting that Australian Federal Criminal code ACT had been amended to allow UN personnel to administer a vax by force without any legal consequences. I noted that it had been fact checked by the “peoples voice” community at which point I dismissed it as likely BS. Turns out I was right-
https://t.me/craigkelly/5100
Please don’t post anything from the peoples voice on 99% of ocassions it is a waste of everyone’s time.
now go fact check todays other ysb thread would ya, the poor petals here think its 100% legit cuz they see it postex by randos on the internet.
i commend you curious for being curious enough to spend a few minutes of your time to realise the bulk of what nutters post here (esp telegram and x) is utter bullshit.
the conspiracy folk were on a roll for a while and they got alot right but as of late theyre failing miserably and just proving themselves to be the nutter clowns they are
The urgency has gone out of the debate but the fact that people are still prepared to chase theories down rabbit holes shouldn’t be used to cast doubts on their sanity. Rather it is an indication that more than a few of our fellow citizens have lost all faith in our political leaders. They lied about Covid & they lied about the vaccine. They lied about lockdowns & they paid the venal MSM with our coin to spread their lies.
Our self preservation demands that we question every word that drops from their lying mouths.
Agree. With MSM & pollies my starting position is that everything they say is bs unless proven otherwise. Unfortunately though we are getting to the same position with a number of alternative sites for which I am having to adopt the same tactic.
……”we are getting to the same position with a number of alternative sites”……
It was inevitable that the bullshit pandemic would fan the flames of the conspiracy theorists but it’s worth remembering that they’ve been with us since the internet began & even before.
Who recalls “Reid” from the early days of Flightlessbirdblog? He never encountered a conspiracy theory he didn’t like & if they included the Jews he was in clover.
But it was the same scepticism that kept most YSB followers sane during the dark days of Ardern’s propaganda via the podium of truth. We’ve experienced much & learnt a lot due largely to our host who provided us with a platform & a meeting place for those not ready to swallow the Kool Aid.
Mostly agree with SB on this but you do have to be careful not to dismiss stuff as well based on assumptions which may not be true. As far as YSB goes we had our version of Reid on here for a while in Francis.
curious, i adopted that approach a couple of years ago… except it applies to pretty much anything anyone says from any side of the debate. even alot of what i earlier believed i went back and dug around, some things my view changed big time, others not so much.
if youre not prepared to change your opinion on something or admit youre wrong about something then youre a biased clown and should be treated as such.
literally you have to question everything now as theres so much bullshit and mis/disinformation on all sides you cant trust anything.
when i joined ysb there were a couple of nutjobs on here but most seem to critical think and do at least some research to back up their views… now they read something in an echo chamber and take it for gospel then hysterically repost it then have a big cry when someone actually researches it and tears it to shreads.
Its in the WEF plan though including for us.
