Hmmmm lotta soil came outta that hole.
Yep, for such a skinny person.
King Charlie is so short. You sure he’s ya father?
I was going to post a link to a news item that says Kate was murdered in a satanic ritual that went horribly wrong. It was so far fetched that posting it would make me a shoe in for admission to the Henry Bennett thingy at Waikato hospital.
I may have to reconsider that decision
Please,
Henry Rongomau Bennett .
Honestly white colonialists, you’re all the same!
Ed, theres several nutter ysb folk that would love you to post it and swallow it hook line and sinker!
ya gotta admit tho there is something weird as fark going on, youd think esp after that photoshop fail theyd make an effort to get her “seen” by photographers even in a distanced and staged setting. cant even be seen waving from a balcony etc… theyre lying and hiding something, she must be crook as fark.
She mis-gendered someone.
They Joan Rivered her on the operating table !!!
Royal Insider: Kate Middleton Was Murdered in ‘Illuminati Blood Sacrifice’
March 17, 20240
Yeah that’s what I was thinking, SB. They’d get her out there even if they had to prop her up. She’s either crook as fark, or she’s defying them and hiding. Only reason I think she’d be hiding is if the Royal Willy has been out and about.
Kate had an op on 16 January and said she’d be recovering for four months. It’s been two. The yank journos are just pissed they can’t make Kate dance to the msm demands after getting pissed she takes her own photos. OBVIOUSLY that means she is taking a job off a poor, hard done by photo journo and they can’t make money off her while she is resting in King Charlie’s highland estate away from prying eyes.
Remember when Melania Trump had renal surgery and the world press went nuts.
They’d done everything they could to gaslight the woman, but as soon as she dropped from sight for a few days they had her murdered by her allegedly abusive spouse and buried in the Rose Garden.
That aside, The Firm have done themselves no favours. When KC2 went for surgery he said he wanted to be open so other men would seek medical attention. What a noble leader.
Then when cancer was actually found, it all became secret squirrel. The Palace still hasn’t said what he’s got.
Kate’s health seems unnecessarily shrouded in secrecy too.
Then there’s good old Ferg. A lesser royal battling blight in the pumpkins and said so. Notice how the press aren’t banging on? Lesson there.
Charlie probably has bladder cancer. It’s his secret to keep. He’ll be receiving the best of care. How would knowing make any difference?
All jabbed?
Yeah Nah
You don’t claim to be open then get coy or you look like a muppet. PR fail for Chuck.
Not only that, she released the photo herself and took more money out of the media’s mouths.
So they had to embarass her to make sure she doesn’t bypass the media again!
She should double down and release a heap more!!!
WG,they also said “minor surgery”… since when does minor surgery lead to 4mnths of solitary confinement and unable to be seen by public and media?
if they wanted the sheeple to believe that photoshop disaster then she looks of good health and able bodied enough to do at least a small appearance to quell any rumours.
They said it was abdominal surgery and she would need four months to recover.
The click bait journo’s are like crack whores after another fix.
sagz, like father like son?… kate best stay away from tunnels if thats the case.
Yeah and grandfather. Think Liz had a bit of trouble keeping Prince Philip on the porch.
he didnt.
He used French prostitutes. They were more professional and more discreet than the English ones .
Not hard to see that.
Plus apparently had a bird on the side in England for 30 years.
Per my sister who is a Royal fan. I’m not.
Ed, they are currently expanding the Henry Bennett Centre, at Waikato, so if you do end up there the surroundings will be luxurious, new and freshly painted, furniture bolted to the floor. Just think:

Whats wrong with Fat Butch Nurses? Sort of kinky in a weird kind of way…. (posted by Hunty masquerading as ROL)
Alon with build a new one in Whangamata, of all places.
For the rich nutters?
ED ,no no no please post it in its entirety, Viking will believe it and “rave on” all fcuking day about it including posting links with video and pictures that verify it is factual,,,😂 LOL.
What’s actually funny about your rant?
The first pic is where I put you.
That cerainly makes sense.
After all, when did you post something original that’s important to discuss?
Never you are just another kea swooping buy dropping shit and behaving like kea.
Dementia is coming your way.
As I said if you were that smart you would be rich. You aren’t.
Viking ,When did you last post something that wasn’t plagiarised from Tick Tock, FB ,Twitter etc .
As I’ve told you before I don’t give a fcuk about your snide comments but you can expect some incoming back your way if you do , you bored silly little man.🤡🤡🤡
Revvy, poor vikey would read about the royal satanic cult and somehow manage to link it to the destruction of australian economy, the vax and DNZ horrific election defeat.
poor vikey, every day a few more marbles get lost.
IAASB , To be fair IAASB Vikings posts are like a double edged sword ,one edge is blunt as fcuk like most of his comments ,links and attempts at humour whereas the other edge is even worse 😂😂😂😂😂,
The thing is Vikey takes personal attacks (something he’s struggling to perfect) to heart whereas most people don’t give a fcuk about them ,one day he’ll wake up.
Perhaps you should read ed’s other post today.

youre blaming trump now?
Spoonley going of the reservation.
Gone woke along with all the people he asssociates with.
Massey really does need shutting down and cleaning out.
A leading expert on extremism in New Zealand believes more can done to tackle the threat posed by the far right.
Last week marked five years since the Christchurch mosque terror attack, when 51 Muslim worshippers were killed by white supremacist Brenton Tarrant.
The anniversary came days after a hearing was held to determine what a coronial inquest into the 2021 New Lynn terror attack – when Islamic State supporter Ahamed Aathill Mohamed Samsudeen stabbed five shoppers at a supermarket – should investigate.
While the two attacks had very different motives, Massey University distinguished professor Paul Spoonley told The Front Page, the Herald’s daily news podcast, that far-right extremism is by far the biggest threat to national security.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/the-threat-of-far-right-extremism-in-new-zealand-the-front-page/SHAP2MZTVJGFXAQTHA5XSRVIH4/
Spoonley has always cracked on about New Zealand cities, particularly Auckland becoming one of the most “super diverse” cities in the world, which shows that he just wants full on immigration to New Zealand a-la Coudenhove-Kalergi plan for Europe.
.
So what did Spoonley make of the Auckland supermarket stabbings & “sharp knives” in 2021.
Spoonley = 5 stabbed? ? …. Wiki = 8 were injured!
.
……. eight people were injured in a mass stabbing …..
.
……. While investigating him years later, Immigration NZ was made aware of information that led them to believe his refugee status was fraudulently obtained.[25]
.
According to his mother living in Sri Lanka, Samsudeen was radicalised in New Zealand. She blamed his neighbours from Iraq and Syria for exposing him to radical views. ………
.
….. At the time of the attack he was still facing charges for assaulting prison officers while in custody. ……
.
……… expanded the powers of police to conduct warrantless searches. ….
….. supermarkets in New Zealand, removed all sharp knives from sale nationwide as a precautionary measure. ……
.
….. teenager who had already been planning an Islamic terror attack felt inspired by the supermarket stabbing and intended to execute his plan earlier.
He was arrested on 8 September, with police finding bomb-making ingredients in his home.[49] ….
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_Auckland_supermarket_stabbing
.
That supposed diverseness has bought about a major loss of trust in society at a grass roots level, which is astro-turfed from on high as a paper plastered over by the academics, politicians, shilling media, & the incorporation of DEI so that corporates outside the government can also impose through techno-sociologists engineering, via bureaucrats with mystical chants & exhortations.
Did Spoonley ever care about New Zealanders, understand the issues in New Zealand, from the height of his Ivy Towers in New Zealand, Berkley University in California & the Max Plank Institute in Germany?
Spoonley only ever paid lip service, to any concerns, and twisted things to bring in more controls over New Zealanders.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Spoonley
it’s amuzing watching the clowns.
I posted one article today about spoonley and its kept them occupied for hours.
Obviously to lazy to work. Must be on a bene.
even the Auckland blugger who is complaining about his way to low rates.
Try payng wellington ones or tauranga ones.
Just another bludger is seems.
Spoonley is a fucked in the head (FITH) self loathing moron who wants to drag the rest of us into his delusional shit-world.
he does sociology.
I’m with Bob Jones and his take on that.
Ie. Total disdain.
Spoonley was born in Upper Hutt so there is that . A poor start to life.
—————–
wiki
Spoonley earned a Bachelor of Arts from Victoria University of Wellington in 1973, which he followed a year later with a postgraduate diploma in geography at the University of Otago. In 1976 he obtained a Master of Arts again from Otago, studying Niuean migrants,[3] and then a Master of Science from the University of Bristol in 1978. He completed a Bachelor of Education at the University of Auckland in 1979
….and finally a doctorate from Massey University in 1986, with a thesis on the extreme right in New Zealand.
——————
The extreme right in NZ. 1986
So his whole thesis was based on 3 people.
1986. Was he studying stockbrokers in the bull market of the time?
10/12 yrs at uni? Tits, was he?
…his refugee status was fraudulently obtained.
Fuck me
add in
Ahmed Zaoui
Golriz Grab-em for free
and at least 50% of moozlems that came here.
Why did they spend ridiculous amounts of money following that cretin around instead of just sending him back to the hell hole he came from?
They wanted a far right soldier to blame. what they really had and fail to recognise is that he was a Greeny and a far left socialist soldier.
Spoonley then adds the Muslims in as good guys.
There are many examples that show they are not and he is dumb if he thinks there badires are not operating in NZ.
How would you define “far right”?
Anyone not in the labor, greens, te patti parties!
Far Rgt cant be in Democracy NZ
Coz it don’t exist no more.
Just sayin’
Well, just triggering
Wait for it….
Where are you?
This seems to be action that happens in Germany, that Spoonley wants New Zealand to take, like on this 16 year old school girl.
What can get you arrested in Germany, you ask?
For starters, sympathizing with the AfD and calling Germany your home.
We fear patriotism more than Islamism, and would rather arrest our own children than change that.
https://twitter.com/Raphfel/status/1768607801390063653
This seems to be the form of right wing and how the police authorities look to bring it into a controlled thinking.
A good interview of want went on in this German high school.
….. wanted to make an example of her: „
Look, we’re doing this with pupils who aren’t politically in line with us!“
After all, the school had just launched the „Strengthening Democracy“ project, …..
https://jungefreiheit.de/debatte/interview/2024/german-police-pull-16-year-old-loretta-out-of-school-class-because-of-wrong-political-opinion/
But no worries about spitting school hakas in a New Zealand school.
Spoonley quotes German right wing in that Herald article & it would seem he would also support the Education system in calling for Police actions on a Smurf cartoon, which seemed to be taken down any way.
Would Winston Peters also be in including Spoonley & his ilk in the reference to Nasty Nazi Germany controls?
Odakyu-Sen, I was going to ask that but am in great fear of triggering him so early in the day.
Nowadays, “far right” is a person who supports self-reliance, personal responsibility, free speech, smaller government, and a rolling back of the surveillance state.
//
Helen Clarke would probably be labelled Far Right by today’s standards….
Or anyone that doesn’t support the extreme left.
Or anyone with a modicum of common sense.
Spoonley would be a great patient for Lake Alice.
Or the extention of the Henry Bennett Centre at Waikato. Plenty of new padded cells coming up in Hamilton that he would just fit well into.
Vikey could do his curtains!
I’m outta here, someone’s gotta go to work to pay our $6900,00 Auckland city council rates bill, add another $400.00 for our moorings and $1500.00 water rates, I wonder if we can somehow get our land designated a Māori land block and pay zero rates ???
But, but renters pay rates too!!!
If that is true and you can separate out inputs to a product or service , then EV car owners are directly exploiting the child mineral miners in Africa.
Pick a lane.
Just an argument I had with someone last week who tried to tell me renters pay rates.
Well at least that’s something we agree on.
Thank you, oh thank you!

Close.
Individuals with a strong sense of entitlement and poor anger management skills.
The gender pay gap explained: “If it’s cheaper to hire a woman to do the same job as a man, why would anyone hire a man”?
to be fair id happily pay a man alot more to do the same job without the drama, tears and emotional bullshit that women drag into a workplace.
i bet productivity is alot higher in male dominated workplaces along with higher happiness/job satisfaction.
Depends on what you wanted out of the job done.
Some jobs I would only want a woman!

Winston called out Labour ‘s treatment of NZers during their period in office and Chippie bit back. Rumble in the jungle.
Winston Peters says Labour leader Chris Hipkins “would get drunk on a wine biscuit”
https://www.1news.co.nz/2024/03/18/peters-trades-barbs-with-hipkins-would-get-drunk-on-a-wine-biscuit/
Winston Peters says Labour leader Chris Hipkins “would get drunk on a wine biscuit”, biting back after the Opposition leader’s comment yesterday that Peters “behaves like a drunk uncle at a wedding”.
He took jabs at the previous government’s “race-based theory”, alluding to co-governance, “where some people’s DNA… made them somehow better than others”.
“I’ve seen that sort of philosophy before. I saw it in Nazi Germany, we all did,” he told an approving crowd.
In response, Hipkins said: “Kiwis deserve better than a deputy prime minister who behaves like a drunk uncle at a wedding.”
Today, the war of words has continued with a tweet from Peters.
He had a go at the previous government and current opposition.
“Chris Hipkins hid behind a press release yesterday and said that he was glad he ‘ruled me out’ before the election,” he tweeted this morning. “Newsflash Chris.
“I publicly ruled out working with you and your woke Labour cronies twelve months before you stuttered the words.
“But you know that. And so do the media who have the temerity to repeat your stutter.
They picked the wrong country to do that.
Went over to the farside.

Young boy found so emaciated his social worker called ambulance
Saggy, this says everything you need to know.
“Thomas Te Pairi, one of three people charged with offending against the boy, has been jailed.”
“The judge received several reports on Te Paipi, which outlined his whakapapa, upbringing and his connection to Te Ao Māori.”
And the Elite of these “Special People” have the audacity to tell the rest of humanity, how to respect people, that they have superior knowledge and how to live.

On reading that, Titewhai Harawera’s ‘Maori Health’ unit did come to mind; There are similarities….
DIL was reaching not far from AH. Had a 5 year old turn up to start school that was so traumatized she couldn’t; t speak. Others that had no idea what a book was. They are out there.
Happens in Taurnaga as well. she was at one of the local schools for a while doing the new entrants. some came to school each day in their dirty nappies.
Agree AH, as far as I’m concerned anybody who attempts to minimise the offending or subsequent punishment for any reason is an enabler.
Punishment should be applied according to the crime. It makes no difference to the poor kid if the offender is the son of a gangster or is a meth head.
How can the elite of their tribe sit back and count the money! Because you can bet it didn’t stop or they asisted!
The man sent to prison over wetlands that never existed
A Kāpiti Coast farmer was unlawfully imprisoned and lost his job – and his partner fined $118,750 – for damaging wetlands that never existed.
Greater Wellington Regional Council forged ahead with prosecuting Adrian Page and Julie Crosbie, despite hearing evidence that threw their scientific methods into question in another court case only weeks earlier.
Now the council has lost both cases, which centred on how it defined wetlands. The botched prosecutions are set to cost ratepayers millions of dollars in compensation payouts.
https://www.thepost.co.nz/environment/350212249/man-sent-prison-over-wetlands-never-existed
Good sock it to the pricks and make them responsible for paying not the ratepayers.
Bĺoody cllipboard wankers! Sack the bastards and charge them costs!
Great role model. Pfffft.
One of the two New Zealanders reportedly being arrested in Thailand for attacking a police officer and grabbing his pistol appears to be Hamish Day, Ngāpuhi, CEO of Code Avengers which serves 1000 schools in NZ and the Pacific with an online education platform. It’s also registered with the Ministry of Education to upskill teachers (in both English and te reo Māori) in digital skills.
https://twitter.com/Suitandtie9999/status/1769465490634920280
I wonder if the Thai authorities are going to be interested in his whakapapa, upbringing and his connection to Te Ao Māori.
Did the sentencing judge call for a Cultural Report?
Probably but because of the ethnicity he will apply for and get Legal Aid.
Unusual they are not familiar with the cops shooter!

Newsflash Chris. I publicly ruled out working with you and your woke Labour cronies twelve months before you stuttered the words.

PS. Your ‘drunk uncle’ comment is laughable coming from someone who would get drunk on a wine biscuit.

‘Woke’ people more likely to be unhappy, anxious and depressed, new study suggests
Psychological researchers in Finland have created an assessment to help measure an individual’s commitment to principles of social justice and made some surprising findings across the Finnish population — including a negative correlation between progressive ideals and levels of happiness.
Their findings, published in the Scandinavian Journal of Psychology, suggest other Western nations may see similar patterns among their socially conscious citizens.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/wellness/woke-people-more-likely-to-be-unhappy-anxious-and-depressed-new-study-suggests/ar-BB1k3CCc
Cosmic justice is served. They deserve to be miserable, as they make everyone else miserable who has to deal with them.
But are they miserable because they’re woke, or woke because they’re miserable. People who take control of their lives and are personally responsible for their own behaviours and outcomes tend to be happier IMO. People who blame shit on everyone else are miserable.
Shit for brains. How do they survive?

https://principia-scientific.com/boeing-whistleblower-if-anything-happens-to-me-its-not-suicide/
havent read your link but a pootube thing i seen yesterday those words were second hand via a friend so most likely she made it up to get the nutters “proof” he wasnt suicidal.
it does seem very very epstienish tho, i have very little doubt it was a genuine suicide. people saying shit without proof to back it up just muddies the waters and doesnt do him any favours.
if he really thought that then surely he would have a “dead man switch” as backup, at the very least got his lawyer to draw up a document and sign to state hes not suicidal etc, hell he couldve even blurted it out in court… random mates saying so after the fact dosent cut it imo.
boeing is in bed with US govt and defence big time… like 40% of their income big time. it wont just be boeing worried but big shareholders and shadowy figures that deal in suitcases of cash and backroom deals.
The whistleblower posted a video saying if he was found dead, it was not a suicide. He knew his life was at risk.
With the left looking shaky, Christopher Luxon can probably count on a second term in the Beehive, Dan Brunskill suggests
It seems likely that Christopher Luxon can expect to be Prime Minister beyond 2026, and plausibly into a third term, despite his relative unpopularity.
Some commentators opposed to the Coalition and its leader have pointed to Luxon’s poor favorability numbers and controversial policy agenda as signs of a one term Government.

Pro-Israel Congressmen pressed on Israel’s long history of deliberately propping up Hamas.
“Shouldn’t you look into this BEFORE we send billions of dollars over to Israel?”

From https://drugfoundation.org.nz/articles/report-drug-use-in-aotearoa-202223#cannabis :
# “14.2% of adults used cannabis last year, around 597,000 people.”
# “6.4% of 64–75-year-olds reported past-year cannabis use in 2022/23, which is around ten times higher than 2012/13.”
# “Disabled people are 3.79 times more likely to report weekly cannabis use than non-disabled people.”
And before you lot saddle up your mobility scooters & ride out in search of your local dealer, “The price of cannabis is lowest in Tasman/Nelson/ Marlborough, followed by Taranaki, and Bay of Plenty.”
Cannabis is one product not affected by inflation. An ounce is about the same price it was 20 years ago.
20yrs ago it was 120, now its 400. mind you thats comparing golden bay bush weed vs fucking mind blowing indoor grown stuff. now my mates in golden bay say outdoors is 250-300, ripped off for shitty bush i rekon.
some places (chch for example) the price is coming down as the markets get flooded with high quality indoor stuff the legal growers are sneaking out the back door.
weed breeding has come along way in 20yrs, pretty much incomparable, product quality increases so naturally the price does too.
not sure if youve been buying cheap or expensive weed for the past 20yrs starving but in the south island prices certainly increased… the same price for 20yrs you refer too could also mean free??? 🙂
I can recall that in circa 1968 a three finger ounce cost about three quarters of a week’s net wages. All leaf & the odd bit of head someone further up the food chain had missed.
Still a nice buzz when we sat around the flat listening to Bob Dylan, Steppenwolf & Deep Purple.

The pope isn’t a favourite of the new Argentinian president. A rabid socialist as I always suspected.
My YSB appointed spiritual advisor isn’t much of a fan of his Holiness either.
He must be using the wrong incense in his thurible. 🙂
I have to be careful here. The Vatican has ways and means of dealing to those that challenge “His Holiness.” Lets just say he is not every Catholic’s cup of tea….
ROL would make a superior Pope. 😇
Dear WG. Thank you for the endorsement. However, I get far more satisfaction in soothing the moral and theological dilemmas posed by a few of the regular posters on this blog. If I were whisked away to the pomp and ceremony, glamour and glory of the Vatican, I’d miss the cut and thrust of the verbal repartee that I so enjoy on a daily basis.

Is that why the queer runaway?
Sooty, If you’re talking about one of the Labour Party ministers which one FFS, it’d be quicker to name the pieces of shit that haven’t done a runner like Willie Jackson because he knows he’ll never get a job again in this country in the private sector if he leaves that slimy swamp in Wellington.
A man allegedly left to die on a road in Sydney’s eastern suburbs yesterday has been identified as 28-year-old lawyer Mitch East.
Mr East was a lawyer at Sydney firm Arnold Bloch Leibler who had earned a Masters degree at Harvard Law School.
He had previously worked at the Supreme Court of New Zealand and as an adviser for the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Christchurch Terrorist Attack, according to his LinkedIn profile.

They are in deep shit.
I’d say so….
https://www.grunge.com/945848/what-life-in-a-thai-prison-is-really-like/
“There is practically nothing that goes well for their inmates: food is scarce (and barely edible), clean water is a luxury, medical care is a joke, and the prisons run on an average of 224% occupancy. This means that inmates often have to sleep on each other’s legs on the dirty floor (there are no beds in Thai prisons).
Nah. Wait until they play the race card.
Works every time in Godzone.
Government instructs Kāinga Ora to crack down on abusive and antisocial tenants

was just reading stuffeds version and seen this…
“Between 2017 and 2023, the total debt owed to Kāinga Ora by its tenants increased from $1 million to $21 million, and the number of tenants owing rent nearly doubled from 4,248 to 9,519. At the end of last year, more than 450 Kāinga Ora tenants each owed more than $10,000 in rent”
kick the anti social scum first, if they have kids tough shit they can learn life lessons through their piece of shit parents failures. give the 450 bludgers owing more then 10k 30 days to start repaying at a substantial amount or else fuck off back under a bridge to live.
disgusting that any agency allows this kinda shit to happen, its more lowlife then loan sharks because these bludging fucks arent gunna get shattered knee caps or fingers removed… theyll get debt wiped at our expense.
david seymour needs to hurry along his bene bludger card, these fuckers mentioned above should all be first in line to get their finances controlled. 10k behind on rent or able to piss up, drugs and ruin neighbourhoods but need taxpayer handouts ya can go get fucked ya scum cnuts… if it were up to me youd have nothing except a free trip to auckland islands.

Sorry, not sorry. Actions have consequences now.
Every Kiwi deserves to feel safe and at peace in their own neighbourhood, so we’re bringing back real incentives to discourage antisocial behaviour.

New Zealand’s national independence is a vital part of our democracy, that is why we have said no to UNDRIP and confirmed that the Coalition Government does not recognise it as having any binding legal effect on New Zealand.

I would feel more confident if that had come out of NN’s mouth?
Me too, good to see he’s dealing with media bs though.
PM calls on the Herald’s political editor Claire Trevett for a question, but Herald deputy political editor Thomas Coughlan asks one instead.
Luxon: “You’re not Claire, mate”
Trevett: “We speak as one”
Luxon: “That’s a frightening thought”

Colin to the rescue!!!!! (. . .cue the A-Team music. . . .) He owes them one. The Thai authorities will be shitting themselves when they see this
I can’t recall any politician that I disagreed with more than Colin Craig. Everything about him affects me like fingernails on a chalkboard. Yet he made a brilliant target for anyone out to lampoon him. EG:

Russian Nuclear Subs Increasingly Appearing Off US Coastlines And The US Military Trying To Hunt Them Down Is ‘The Most Explicit Warning Yet’ We’re Racing Towards Armageddon.
Coming at a time when Russia has also claimed they’ve killed 6,000 foreign fighters in Ukraine, including 491 Americans if we’re to believe Russia more than our own government of liars who long ago lost their right to be trusted by their employers, the American people, that astounding number of American mercenary deaths could easily be read as more proof we’re already in World War 3 against that sovereign nation at a time when Russia has declared that any direct US participation fighting for Ukraine will lead to a widening of that conflict, engulfing the US and any other participants in a direct conflict with Russia that we know we cannot ‘win’.

According to a 19th century legend, the Truth and the Lie meet one day. The Lie says to the Truth: “It’s a marvellous day today”! The Truth looks up to the skies and sighs, for the day was really beautiful. They spend a lot of time together, ultimately arriving beside a well. The Lie tells the Truth: “The water is very nice, let’s take a bath together!” The Truth, once again suspicious, tests the water and discovers that it indeed is very nice. They undress and start bathing. Suddenly, the Lie comes out of the water, puts on the clothes of the Truth and runs away. The furious Truth comes out of the well and runs everywhere to find the Lie and to get her clothes back. The World, seeing the Truth naked, turns its gaze away, with contempt and rage.
The poor Truth returns to the well and disappears forever, hiding therein, its shame. Since then, the Lie travels around the world, dressed as the Truth, satisfying the needs of society, because, the World, in any case, harbours no wish at all to meet the naked Truth.
The lies are well “tarted up”, as we see now with academics, media shills, & politicians seeking controlling powers, with just a dimple of truth, to confuse many.
Besides, as the vilest Writer has his Readers, so the greatest Liar has his Believers;
and it often happens, that if a Lie be believ’d only for an Hour,
it has done its Work, and there is no farther occasion for it.
Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it;
so that when Men come to be undeceiv’d, it is too late;
the Jest is over, and the Tale has had its Effect…

Winston Peters has defended his comments where he compared co-governance to Nazi Germany, saying he won’t back down “one iota”.
Winston Peters lobbed insults and accusations at Labour, the Greens, Te Pāti Māori and media industry during his state of the nation speech on Sunday.
Labour leader Chris Hipkins fired back, saying it shows why Peters should not be trusted in Government.
PM Christopher Luxon said he would be talking to Peters about his choice of language.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/350205276/nz-politics-live-christopher-luxon-calls-winston-peters-nazi-germany-comparison
From my point of view, that’s not what I would say,” Luxon said.
“There is a need for everyone to be very careful with their language.”
Well you can just fuck right off Luxon you woke globalist shill.
When a man’s blood tests indicated a possible heart attack his doctor told him to call 111 for an ambulance to get him to the emergency department immediately.
But, when the man relayed that information to the 111 operator he was told his doctor was “probably being a bit cautious” and was triaged as being potentially serious, but not in an immediately life-threatening situation.
Fire and Emergency NZ (Fenz) was instead sent in the first instance and it was another hour until a St John ambulance finally arrived to take over the man’s care.
“We … wasted two hours waiting around for St John to do nothing,” the man said in a complaint to the Health and Disability Commissioner (HDC) about how Hato Hone St John handled his call for help that day.
The man, who was eventually driven to hospital by his wife, was found to have suffered a heart attack.

More like that in the Nats. Uninspiring little commanders mostly.
Argentina is going full “Bukele” on gang members and traffickers…
Well, it turns out, there’s a new player on the scene aiming to make South America Great Again—Argentina’s President Javier Milei. He’s bringing that “outsider” energy and a “Trumpy” vibe that resonates with the people. So, it’s hardly a shock to see his political allies embracing a “Bukele-style” crackdown on crime in their areas. Take Santa Fe, for instance, one of the hottest gang regions, now home to a maximum-security prison filled with gang members. The message being sent is crystal clear: there’s a new sheriff in town, and mercy isn’t part of the equation.

Comment on this.

For effective handling of crime you need to ensure aggressive application of them. We saw this with Giuliani in NYC. When he came in NYC it was crime ridden, in a matter of two years he had cleaned up the city. That is because the first thing he did was remove the low level criminals through his “Broken Windows” policy. The second was the three strikes your are out.
He did this because they had realized that about 20% of all criminals commit about 80% of all the crimes. Remove that 20%, and you have addressed 80% of all your crimes. It is what Bukele did and Milei is mimicking, it’s not hard, all you need political fortitude because you know the loony left and their propaganda arm is going to come hard after you.
Viking ,do you mean like cnutface Ardern did to 100s of thousands of NZ gun owners because that’s what happens when you give unelected pigs endless powers to do as they please , in New York the people whether good or bad have the US constitution to protect their rights here in Gayotearoa there are no such protections.
No i don’t rev. go watch the video that the comment was from. Wrong end of the stick again.
New Law: Double digit rate rise, triggers automatic removal from employment of all local council staff. A good spring cleaning of the apparatchik.
First you woud have to decide what you want rather than what Clark allowed them to do.
Then you would have to allow for extra services and inflation.
A post I read somewhere the other day ( might have been on Interest.co), had looked at council rates income over a period of many years compared to GDP.
The obvious thing was that rates are in the same % of GDP now as they were 70 years or so ago.
So we all demand more and they do more, much of which they should butt out of and in many councils, they don’t charge enough to fix their core services. ( people complain their rates are too high so they keep getting cut back.
Rates probably need to go up quite a lot if the councils re to be left running and doing all the stuff people want, giving out money to any fool thing or even deserving ones. Thats where the groups like Lions, Round Table and others used to do community things. All run out of town by the RMA and councils. I quit for that reason.
There’s a reasonable argument for increasing rates and asking more people to contribute, especially renters, tourists and developers.
Tauranga tried to do the developer thing and got taken to court and got knocked back.
tourisn is a good example here of how the rate[ayer funds that industry.
There is a better formula out there. No one wants to fix it.
