I was going to say something about being in bed by 9 o’clock and completely missing the event and how it must be because I’m an old cnut but the last new year I was awake for was 2000 and before that never so it’s nothing to do with age it’s because it’s just another day some nosey power hungry government official decided to make special 1000s of years ago.
HAPPY NEW YEAR ANYWAY YSB’rs.

The msm ignored John Pilger when he went off script. A scathing critic of the African Warlord Obama and other far left celebrities.

“Pilger also courted controversy with his comments on Russia. In a 2014 article for The Guardian, he wrote that President Vladimir Putin was “the only leader to condemn the rise of fascism in 21st-century Europe”.”

J Pilger. RIP.
He was an incredible researcher and communicator.
Got a bit more visibly frustrated in the last 20 years that could mess the message to newcomers.

Another 1939 Alum.
Along with Bob Jones, Paul Craig Roberts and John Cleese.
Although Cleese/Cheese and Jones have the TDS.

I still remember being at a friends house and standing, without sitting, jaw on the floor, must have been circa 1979, Pilger’s expose on Cambodia. It was stunning, and scary, actual journalism.
Pilger- a master of facts.
True war stories, not the usual propaganda.

Interesting that it is a month after the death of the devil itself, Kissinger; the architect of destruction in Cambodia/Kampuchea.
And the NZ Govt recognised this regime. Siding with/cowering to the bullies, as ever.

You’re not wrong.
Some Japanese lack the enzyme for metabolizing alcohol and turn pink after just one glass of beer. (My wife is one.) One of my daughters turns pink (and doesn’t really like to drink) while my older daughter can handle her liquor well (and likes gin and tonic).

Thanks for that Odakyu-sen.

“turns pink” is that Japanese expression of becoming “tiddly” & then do not like that “floaty” feeling of becoming out of control, indeed takes far longer to regain a sense of equilibrium.

I guess some of us have bodies that over time, even become programmable to consume larger qualities with no apparent effect & do not figure we have lost control, as we can balance our intake to achieve what we think is a balance. 😉

I have hosted a number of Japanese, & certainly have been surprised how some can just crash on so little, although they often cover by going to bed early.
So that explains a bit.

So how do they work it when the company boss goes on the town with a some of the employees, & they are supposed to go glass for glass.?

Chinese can also like you to go for glass to glass, in toasting you too.

Note there was a basic 2 foot fence there; then arden moved in and it is a nice new 6 footer.
Walls are for the elite; the rest, sod off.

Treaty principles debate takes off

Underestimating David Seymour is a mistake.

Anyone who followed David Seymour’s patient championing of assisted dying will have a sneaking suspicion that history may well repeat itself in the Treaty principles debate. As Winston Peters might put it, this is not his first rodeo.

It took five years after Seymour lodged his bill in Parliament’s biscuit tin in 2015 for the End of Life Choice Act to be ratified in a referendum at 2020’s general election and he was fighting very powerful opponents all the way — including the Catholic Church and its proxies, as well as influential doctors’ unions.

He entered the arena as the underdog, with even some of those pushing for a law-change initially seeing him as a poor representative to lead the campaign. Little by little, however, his critics were obliged to concede his persistent advocacy was highly effective.

I looked the lead fit looking fella in the eye and said good morning. The arrogant prick ignored me. Early morning on a mist covered mountain! Bet they are from fucking Christchurch.

most down to earth and friendliest place ive been in recent years is the west coast of the south island, pretty much everyone says hello and easy to get along with.

Bah humbug.

In the West coast it is so windy and so wet people are sheltering indoors or in a mine so you only see someone every thirty kilometers and celebrate the event with a pow pow and semi-gay dance. .

In Auckland there is 30 people per metre so saying hello hello hello every 0.3 of a second starts to get weird.

I stay on the concrete jungle on the SH 16 cycleway.

I walk on the beach most mornings at Whangaparaoa, part of Auckland but nor snob centre. Most people I pass say good morning. Some will have a brief conversation.
The ones likely to pass by without any gesture are the young ones, particularly those engrossed in the smart phones as they walk. It amazes me that people can’t leave their devices while exercising and take in the natural beauty of their surroundings.

So here is something to think about.
——-
This from Maryan Street (former liebour MP ) wiki
———
Street worked as an international observer of general elections across Africa and Asia, mostly on behalf of the Commonwealth, with a focus on human rights and good governance.

In 2007 she travelled to Lesotho to join the Commonwealth Expert Team observing the parliamentary elections.[16]

She returned to Lesotho in 2015 as a member of the Commonwealth Observer Group for the Lesotho National Assembly elections.[18]
In 2018 she was a member of the Commonwealth Observer Group which assessed the general elections in Sierra Leone.[19]
She was a member of the Commonwealth Observer Group which monitored the 2019 Parliamentary elections in Maldives.[20]
————————————-

Riiiiight.
So who observes the elections in NZ
in USA
IN UK ?

I don’t believe for one minute that elections are run honestly, diligently, or fairly, nor that there is any quality control and valid verification of count .
We know
-the government cannot even build motorways on time and have to rework them soon after
-We know that goo-mint cannot run a a census to within 10% accuracy
-We know that goo-mint cant control violence in its own housing estates nor even hold the houses up to the standard they require of private landlords
– we know they completely lie over the true causes of road accidents and road deaths
-We know they try to tell us that electric cars are the way to go
-We know they they tell us the planet is ‘near boiling’ when every mathematical fact makes a LIE of this.
—–
So why the hell would we let them run an election ????
Even the local body. The Auckland 2022 election is very dubious esp. the weird ‘election’ of Michael Woods cretinous wife, Julie Fairey.

Why do we not have observers in here.
Why do we suggest we can do an honest election count and Lesotho or Maldives cannot ?
Ditto, USA and others.

Howi, Maryan Street, observations of a demented, failed Right Wing, White Supremist.

Un-elected former Labour List MP – never won an Electorate and stood in plenty of Electorates from King Country to Nelson, no one wanted her, as like Andrew Little, she failed every time.
Appointed by Labour Governments to the Boards of Housing New Zealand and Crown Forestry Rentals, but never had a job employing people in the real world or had any practical experience in the field of Governance or Business.
Partricipated in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs & Trade’s Myanmar’s Young Leaders Programme despite never having been a Leader of anything of value, running a business or employing anyone.
UN Observer at Elections around the World over the years without any qualifications whatsoever in this field, but a great Junket to be on, with first class Airfares and Hotels to stay in, receiving great remuneration and achieving absolutely nothing in return.

So it boils down to me and these are but a few observations, that she is nothing but a Troughing Leech who has achieved absolutely nothing of residual value for all the remuneration the Taxpayer has coughed up to her.

She was a a dyke so that makes one upwardly mobile in the H1 and H2 era.
Not so much recently, you need to be more extreme.
A cray cray dyke with serious mental health issues like Chloe Thick-as-a- brick

The reason I looked her up was mention of Seymour End of Life Choice and AFAIR that was led by Street for quite some time. Seymour took over after her; when she was no longer in parliament.
No mention of it in the wiki.

This morning’s edition of Pravda (once known as the Wairarapa Times-Age) has an article on a “highly organised anti-social driving event” held at various locations around the region on Saturday night. Apparently our local hoons were joined by “a massive number of vehicles (est 300) mainly from the Hutt & Palmerston North”.

Amazingly Plod did respond with eight cars which were “outnumbered, ignored & then attacked”. The report advises that they stood around taking photos & videos. Despite the mayhem & public drinking no arrests were reported. One of the new roundabouts which Higgins as contractors for the fuck useless Waka Whatever have been working on for the last two years is covered with black rubber & bits of shredded tyre.

Okay, the cops were outnumbered but they are the same arseholes who issue tickets like confetti to those who normally travel the goat track slightly over the limit. The same ones who breath test everything that moves while policing liquor & drug regulations with zeal.

The takeaway is, do what you like without consequences but do it it in large groups.

Reinterpretation of the treaty is going to end in tears. There appears to be a growing movement who believe that our parliament and laws don’t apply to them. How does society react?

“The principles were an attempt for the Crown and courts to reconcile two fundamentally different documents – Te Tiriti and the Treaty. But principles cannot change what was agreed. So the principle of Kawanatanga, often described as the Crown’s right to govern Aotearoa, must be accurately understood as the Crown’s right to govern only British/tangata tiriti.

Debating Treaty principles is a distraction from basic legal facts

Saggy, is this the same Waitangi Tribunal where only one side of the case is put, where there is no rebuttal evidence, where no one argues for the people of this country, where there are no counter claims and where only Maori can make a claim? And is this the same Waitangi Tribunal which has never failed to find in favour of Maori?

If that is the case, the Waitangi Tribunal is nothing short of a Kangaroo Court and the sooner it is dispensed with or its Articles altered to have counter arguments and claims bought, the better. Otherwise, as you say, it will end in tears for the Troughers, Early Settlers, Lawyers and Bludgers that allow this thing to fester.

….. Out of the total budget, $8,964,109 was spent by the Public Safety Department and the RCMP before the program was postponed on October 12. ……

…… Report earlier obtained by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation warned the gun grab program was costly and complicated. …..

………. The estimates by the cabinet suggested a range “between $300 million and $400 million,”
while the Budget Office forecasted a higher amount of $756 million. ….

The Japan Meterological Agency reported quakes off the coast of Ishikawa and nearby prefectures shortly after 4pm on Monday (local time), one of them with a preliminary magnitude of 7.6.

It issued a major tsunami warning for Ishikawa and lower-level tsunami warnings or advisories for the rest of the western coast of the island of Honshu.

Japanese public broadcaster NHK TV warned torrents of water could reach as high as 5m and urged people to flee to high land or the top of a nearby building as quickly as possible.
