I like my bacon between 3 and 4
yup 3-4 for actual bacon and a 0-1 for vertical bacon 🙂 vertical bacon sandwich is always a good munch!
Half alive.
Thai’s cruelty.
All bacon tastes nice except imported stuff!
You just dont know what it was fed!

Wow – do I have a reference for you – lives locally as well and knows how to play the five finger banjo.
i could blow the lid off the mass incest in a small south canty town.
taurangas too far away for the odt to bother covering but if ever i do a story on slavery ill be sure to include bobs curtains 🙂
Maori Masters, Paheha Slaves.
A ggod read from Trebor.
The point being I may be the boss but guess who acts as the masters and who is the slave.
Nah talks too much bullshit.
Oh wait a minute,
Could be considered a prime candidate.
‘If you think I’m an Ardern puppet, you’ll get a huge surprise when you open the report,’ Prof Tony Blakely says

Read the comments to the article if you want to be reminded of how many idiots there are who think NZ’s pandemic response was one of the best in the world, Jacinda saved us, etc.
That’s very true.
Only looked at half of them. They are truly depressing. Even those trying to give a balanced view are twisting themselves in knots.
Well V2, I just heard Blakely prattling on, on the old steam radio whilst out in the vehicle and his conclusion was that the Government and Officials had done the best they could under the circumstances.
What Bullshit and what a Whitewash.
Sounds like the Professor has been fingering the Bishop far too often.
He is an epidemeologist by trade so we would expect him to be knowledgeable enough to sort through it al;l from that point of view.
That doesn’t mean the what he says about the need for more is correct does it?
heard that too hooli, also said mandates cant be ruled out in the future and contact tracing needs ramped up… full on big brother tracking in other words.
I’m from the government and I’m here to help!
Any acknowledgement from NZ media that Trump has appointed Dr Jay Bhjattacharya Director of the US NIH? Na, msm still have their heads in the sand.

That’s got to be worth 10 upticks V.
Where was he when she was ruling the roost?
Hiding in his safe space. (Under the covers)
Interesting that he is positive about the input from VFF. Mentions it twice. Let’s see what comes out of the report this afternoon.
Yes I noticed that ( I actually read the article, 1st Stuff article in years). Where I am hopeful is that RFK blows Pfiser away, that they find that the vaccines are ineffective and actually dangerous, and expose the contracts between pfiser and Ardern etc. A lot more is getting published in reputable medical journals these days…
I wonder if she was on 10%, like biden?
All of that and free dental care.
That’ll be step too far!
‘We started micro-dosing magic mushrooms – now we’re having the best sex of our lives’
While the 46 year old was happy in her second marriage to Joe*, after blending their families (her two kids and his one), romance was thin on the ground. Or, as Ellen puts it: “He’d merrily fart in bed, and I’d pluck my chin in his presence. I wanted us to be sexy, and properly intimate again. Something was needed.”
That “something” was discovering magic mushrooms two years ago.
https://www.stuff.co.nz/culture/360502439/we-started-micro-dosing-magic-mushrooms-now-were-having-best-sex-our-lives
could spice up your life in the rest home old chap, spike the teapot and let the orgies flow 🙂
microdosing shrooms was always something thats interested me but as of yet havent done, zero interest in getting high and tripping on them but i was always keen to see if the mind expanding/ creativity that microdosing can offer actually happens.
fwiw an old mates wife managed to turn her life around and stop a 2yr meth bender by microdosing, apparently it can help alcoholics and other addicts too. microdosing is usually only a dose of 5-10% of whats considered a nornal dose/trip so no chance of you going to another world or unable to function when youre taking it everyday.
be interesting to give it a go, certainly on the to do list but fuck knows when ill get around to it.
Micro dosing is the prscritpion.
Same with keratine.
Amazing stuff and when used as per Douglas Labs.trials. Is very safe, amazing quick lifts in peoples so called depression.
Better than most SRI’s which create even greater problesms.
Didn’t work too flash in Victoria.

The global property guru who has stolen David Seymour’s heart
Since they were pictured together at the Newmarket Business Awards last week, David Seymour and partner Alexandra Vincent Martelli have been the talk of the town.
Many are wondering who the woman is dating the Act leader and future Deputy Prime Minister.
Citing security reasons, the couple declined to comment to Society Insider, other than confirming they were dating.
It’s understood they were introduced by mutual friends and have been dating for almost two years.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/lifestyle/society-insider-act-leader-david-seymour-dating-property-guru-tech-titan-carmen-vicelichs-colourful-50th-mona-dotcoms-new-all-star-business/AZGBLQLPS5FHVO7OPJLBYVKBBE/
Why is this even in the news? Its irrelevant who he is dating, unless there is a problem, i.e underage, wrong species or not alive.
Well when you see an fellow like him and there is bo data on his mate then you are left wondering. Is he or is he not?
The woman’s magazines will all be having wet dreams!
so candace owens is now experiencing the consequences of saying dumb shit, i dont agree one bit with the banning of her coming to nz tho. leftards will now be more emboldened to try this shit with the next contoversial person they dont like and scared of hurty feels.
we need to wise up and start playing them at their own game, when a beloved hero of the left wants to come here we need to be noisy as fuck and attach as many labels as we can to get their entry barred aswell, making the leftards exp the same shit is the only way theyll ever learn.
being scared of someones words being told to others you dont like is fucking absurd and to shut it down like that just goes to show how weak pathetic and fragile these piece of shit lefties are. that giant asteroid destroying earth cant come soon enough.
Hmm, if they are banning people from the country for saying dumb shit then the Greens and Te Potty Maori should be on their way to the airport,
Greens can go to Palestine and get jobs as tall building inspectors, Te Potty can go back to Hawaiki, wherever the fuck that is, anywhere but here is fine.
I agree that banning is completely wrong but tit for tat is imo the wrong approach. It needs to be challenged.
Here are the FSU comments;
“Immigration New Zealand is arguing that section 15 of the Immigration Act requires them to exclude individuals who have been barred from entering New Zealand and who have been barred from entering other countries. “Nothing to see here, our hands are tied” is basically all they can muster.
Firstly, we think they are wrong. Our legal team has started burning the (almost) midnight oil, but we’re actively looking at challenging this decision, on the basis Immigration is acting unlawfully. (I’ll spare you the legal details, but it comes down to the technical definitions of ‘excluded).
Secondly, even if she was ‘excluded’, why on earth should we have law that automatically means we then bar others entry. Should we shut out Salman Rushdie because the Iranians don’t like him?”
i agree that tit for tat isnt thw way but neither is playing nice and losing in the woke leftist courts.
mind you avi managed to win so who knows, a court win dosent teach leftards a lesson it just makes them more bitter and ramp up the faux outrage the next attack. a taste of their own medicine every now and then will do a world of wonder.
JOOOs presure. Make no mistake.
Ask the rai valley dweeler.

The English are fighting the Scots. The English army is camped on a hill waiting for a deep fog to clear. Out of the fog sounds a Scottish voice:
“Any one Scotsman can beat any 10 Englishmen.”
The English general selects his 10 best men, and sends them down into the fog. Soon the sound of fighting and screams can be heard but not much later a silence sets in. No one returns.
One hour later, the voice sounds again:
“Any one Scotsman can beat any 100 Englishmen.”
The general selects 100 of his strongest soldiers, and send them into the fog. Soon he hears the sound of fighting and screaming again — this time quite a bit longer — but then all sound fades away. No one returns.
One hour later, the same voice sounds again:
“Any one Scotsman can beat any battalion of Englishmen.”
The English general is now really worried but decides to prepare the entire battalion and starts advancing into the fog. But a groan is heard on the ground at their feet.
An English soldier battered to a pulp has managed to crawl back up the hill, and cries out:
“Don’t go in — it’s a trap. THERE’S TWO OF THE BASTARDS !!”
UK POOOLICE have arrested Jeremy Clarkson for None crime potentially hate speech- in other words we don’t wnat hear what you think. Rumours are POOLICE beat Clarkson, if true POOLICE have set the rules and can expect revenge wearing a blue uniform is like painting a target on you back!!!

Just emailed this to Chris Penk who has decision making ability on immigration.
“Dear Chris,
It seems that Immigration NZ thinks we are now an Australian State or maybe they think that New Zealanders are babies and can’t hear opinions different to their own.
Please use your discretion and overturn the decision to ban Candace Owen from entering NZ so that those that want to hear what she has to say may do so.
Thank you.

Immigration is a disgrace. People have the right to Freedom of speech and who they choose to listen too. Ardern did this censorship with the Christchurch shooter so we never will know the truth. Unacceptable.
as if his staffer checking his emails gives a fuck or that he’ll do anything if he did happen to get the memo.
Show time. Let’s hope the police are up for it.

i struggle to see how you ended up at ysb and on our side of the covid thing. the way you carry on with everything else youd be more likely to side with covid karens and the other covid nazis.
And you are fucking idiot.
Indeed close to a nut case.
But then you hide away in a hay stack thinking you know so much about the world and the cities we have.
Get the message you fucking don’t.
or the fashion police should tell the govt that controlling what people wear is a step too far. even if they are fucking scum i still dont think its good law, you lot whinged at pigs arresting anti covid folk and non mask wearers well this shit is pretty much the same… the goon squad going after outcasts because the majority get warm fuzzy feels.
for now its gang patches, in the future it could be anything and maybe even you thats targeted.
Agreed. The gang patch ban is a stupid law designed to appeal to non-thinking law and order freaks. It will achieve nothing good.
I would prefer to be able to identify gang members.
Wonder if they have packed their crayons and poi?
Bit mean to front up with batons and shields after all the kisses and cuddles just last week!
I reckon they’ll take photos and pop around later with a warrant, I realise it’s taking the easy way out but it’s probably the best way. No point in giving the racist party free ammo.
I disagree T, Plod should be up for it and uplift the Tattooed Fuckwits immediately and take aforementioned, Tattooed Fuckwit straight to the Plod Shop where collecting $200 is not an option, nor will be attending a funeral of a nobody that they have never met.

“Aussie officer found guilty of manslaughter for tasering 95-year-old woman
After 20 hours of deliberation, a jury found Kristian James Samuel White guilty of manslaughter, meaning he will now face up to 25 years behind bars when sentenced.
The great-grandmother he tasered had dementia and required a walker to help her stand, but when she refused to put down a kitchen knife White discharged his taser causing her to fall, and sustain injuries she died from a week later.
In bodycam footage played during the trial, White was heard saying “nah, bugger it” before discharging his weapon.”

Government invests $182 million in Maori housing development.
Me.
Why?
Listened to a guy yesterday on Newstalk who made the point that we have been interfering in the housing market via the govt for over 90 years. 1936 when Savage opened the first state house which wasn’t his idea anyway. That belonged to LEE.
Has it go better?
Well NO.
So the problem has to be the govt. does it not?
It should make the rules and be referee and let everyone else get on with the job.
naaska’s bubies would then be able to buy a house.
naaska would stop complaining
Well maybe , perhaps, nah.
there shouldnt be any rules tho vikey, well except for a few building regs and not the OTT shit we have now.
stop building state houses, stop paying rents for dero scum and stop slamming landlords let it be an actual free market.
We’ll need a bit more than “except for a few building regs” if we have any aspirations to live in a first world country. The unfettered market will never stop money grubbing landlords exploiting a captive clientele. From https://teara.govt.nz/en/city-planning/page-2
……”By the early 20th century conditions in inner-city residential districts were reported as slum-like. A 1903 survey of 300 inner-city Wellington houses found over half were in an unsatisfactory state; many were ‘damp, dilapidated … [and] infested with vermin’, and one-fifth were too overcrowded ‘to allow for conditions of decency and health’.”……..
One hundred & twenty years later the houses have improved a little but the attitudes of the vermin who rent them out hasn’t. The free market only works at the edges where supply meets demand & never has there been a surplus of rentals in NZ to allow laissez faire housing policies a space to work. Those who buy up cheaper housing for rental purposes will do nothing unless they are forced to do it.
I loath petty rules & legislation but when a third of NZ’s housing stock is rented out by private parasitic “investors” then something has to be in place to rein in their rapacity.
Were it left to tightarsed, slimeball private landlords our grandkids & great-grandkids would be living in squalor such as
Well, the human spirit is greater than that.
Fletcher the Scot got the job of building the houses.
Money was borrowed from overseas and Wally Nash years later went to England to try to convince the bankers to lend more. failed miserably.
All this at the end of the depression and when Labour were in control.
When we re we exporting meat, wool etc. but they had to spend and we have been poor And you are. You complain like all the ret of them.
82 mil i believe, still absurd and totally not racist or special priviliges given to a specific race of ppl////

Nissan Has “12-14 Months to Survive,” Two Unnamed Execs Say
Nissan is in full crisis mode. Maybe not in Canada, where sales (including luxury brand Infiniti’s) were up 14.75 percent after nine months in 2024, but certainly on a global level.
Following a disastrous third quarter in which operating profits dropped 85 percent and resulted in a net loss of ¥9.3 billion (around $80 million CAD), the Japanese automaker announced earlier this month that it would lay off 9,000 employees worldwide in the short term, adding to the numerous job cuts from the past few years. Production, meanwhile, will be slashed by approximately 20 percent.
https://www.guideautoweb.com/en/articles/76680/nissan-has-12-14-months-to-survive-two-unnammed-execs-say/
They deserve to go under. Talk to anyone who has bought one of their underpowered, unreliable piece of shit utes over the past few years.
Well I disagree. I have had Nissans for years. Keep on keeping on and my 16-year-old van is better then the 3 year old mitsi.
The Mira is better than suki’s
and my old cefiro dids 345k before I had to give it away. and replace it with another that did 245k before it just uneconomical. Great station wagons. V^ and plenty of power and room. went all over the country towing caravan and trailer loads of stuff.
The cockies’ mantra of Toyota utes, Stihl chainsaws & Honda quads is as spot on now as it was forty years back.
You get what you pay for.
I’ve yet to read the full report but the Herald have reported on the findings relevant to the mandate controversy at https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/royal-commission-of-inquiry-into-covid-19-report-from-first-phase-released/5IRKYWF3GRC2DG2Q5PMGV7DM64/
# “Included among the key findings of the report was that the “use of compulsion” – including mandating various public health measures – was one of the “most controversial aspects” of the Covid-19 response.
This included the decision to put requirements around vaccines, described in the report as a “major source of tension and social division”, with “strongly held views both for and against their use”.”
# ““In our view, some workplace, occupational and other vaccine requirements were applied too broadly and remained in place for too long, which caused harm to individuals and families and contributed to loss of social capital.””
# “This led to social and economic consequences, “reduced trust in government” and also contributed to “lower uptake of other vaccines”.”
The inquiry also notes that “this may make future pandemic responses more difficult”. Cindy’s legacy is a gigantic fuck up & a wrecked country. That is the total payoff for keeping a few dozen pensioners alive.
Didn’t keep anybody alive, but drove plenty to suicide.

Didn’t those guys get about $20 mill from Ardern’s media fund (forgotten it’s real name). They must have paid themselves massive salaries –it was an online outfit, no different to Ed’s YSB blog.
Estimates were at around $216,000 pa.
so the gang bros just ditch their patches and their shirts to instead show off the gang insignia tattood on their backs etc.
poor vikey is now locked in his cry closet rocking in the fetal position cuz the bad mansez have found a loophole in the draconian laws imposed and the fashion police are now powerless.
tommorow when he stops blubbering im sure he’ll be calling for a ban on tattoos and want to force bad mansez to cover them with makup of permanent marker.
this is a dumbfuck law, its going to backfire in a big way and if anything gain gang bros more support and more recruits.
btw the biggest gang in nz is the pigs yet taxpayers fund their shitty insignia and corrupt and criminal ways.
Not sure where (as usual), you get the idea that I support the removal of patches.
Probably is a good thing but not fussed about the compulsion as it is better we can see them than run them underground.
Its the police joib to stop crime and living in a haystack you seem to have no idea of the extent of crime and disruption that it causes in towns and cities.
So the police were there I suggest to ensure that the arsewipes didn’t terrorise the place.
If you like them that much invite them down to your place for a week.
But you won’t.
You are like that barber’s cat
ALL PISS and WIND.
That was always going to make the legislation ineffective. The Prohibition of Gang Insignia in Government Premises Act 2013 states:
……”gang insignia—(a )means a sign, symbol, or representation commonly displayed to denote membership of, an affiliation with, or support for a gang, not being a tattoo;”……..
What’s next. An increase on duty for tattoo ink?
Or banning gang tatoos along with taxpayer funded tatoo removal.

Latest Statistics NZ figures show there are over 35,500 fewer filled jobs in the country than a year ago
The number of filled jobs in New Zealand has fallen for the seventh consecutive month, according to the latest monthly figures from Statistics NZ.
And according to Stats NZ’s Monthly Employment Indicators (MEI) there are over 35,500 fewer jobs now in NZ than there were a year ago. The younger age groupings continued to see the biggest proportion of falls, with over 30,000 jobs gone in the 15-29 age bracket.
The figures for October 2024 show that, on a seasonally-adjusted basis, the number of filled jobs fell by over 2,000 (0.1%) to 2.36 million, following a revised down drop of 0.1% in September.
It means that in the past seven months the filled jobs numbers have consecutively fallen by between 0.1% to 0.4%. (Note that the month-on-month comparisons are seasonally-adjusted while the year-on-year comparisons use actual figures.)

Finance Minister Nicola Willis seeking urgent advice on $115m loan to SolarZero
its financial exposure to SolarZero’s failure, saying that depends on a range of scenarios.supplied
SolarZero had drawn down about $115 million of the $145m in loans a Crown-owned investment fund had committed to by the time the solar installer went into liquidation on Tuesday, a fund spokesperson says.
However, NZ Green Investment Finance (NZGIF) said it w
dosent solar zero own the installs on ppls homes?
if so then theres capital that can be liquidated or potentially sold to a new company…. whats the bet the govt loan didnt incl a security clause tho.
…..”dosent solar zero own the installs on ppls homes?”…..
Hard to say. If the Newsroom article linked to by BN is factual they may be okay:
…..”customers’ payments go into a trust that will be managed by Public Trust and the third-party service provider Verofi; those monies will pay for repairs and maintenance, he says, and the balance will repay the senior lenders and NZGIF.
The customers are also protected, as their 20-to-25-year contracts are with special purpose vehicles, discrete from SolarZero.”…….
Willis shows her inexperience in Finance madders.

and still made a trading loss.
BlackRock Real Assets, a division of the global investment firm BlackRock, acquired solarZero in September 2022.
As part of the acquisition, BlackRock committed over NZD 100 million over the subsequent three years to accelerate the growth of solarZero’s solar and battery technology platform.
In September 2023, the then Labour government, through the New Zealand Green Investment Finance (NZGIF), invested $80 million in solarZero.

Already, plans for a lavish office Christmas party had been called into doubt. Now, there will be no party and little in the way of Christmas spirit for any of the staff. Few expect to be able to find work in the final month of the year.

80 million slush fund to Balckrock from cindy with lov.
Any of these where taxpayer funds which are paid overseas generally means a kickback to the person who authorized it
politics now is about lining your pockets
aka Nancy Piglosi
It is well known in the USA -work as a ‘peoples representative’ for 20 years and you will end up well off.
Happening in NZ.
I suspect Helen Clark was too much of a purist to take kickbacks but johnny keys was not .
See the disappearance of over $20 billion from the Paris climate fund
This is how they get rich .
Just like the massive funds channeled to Ukraine- a large percent gets kicked back to the US decision makers.
It is just money laundering on a big scale.
And johnny keys brought in rules to make it hard for us to open back accounts
wanker.
John key was quoted as being worth $50 million from 2002 to 2016
no change
in other words, the people saying that value had no idea.
NZ is far from corruption free.
I would suggest that the politician from NZ, AU and wherever that donated OUR money to the Clinton foundation got looked after.
A $1000 will get split at least 6 ways.
Paid for Chelsea’s wedding.
If you cant handle that you are politically naive as most NZers are
Politics is dirty now.
Out for oneself.
So yeah, adern got looked after, many times over
$20 million handout from Melinda gates who got a USD 76 Billion settlement from her divorce despite not writing one line of code in any MS product, or even being there for the first 20 years MS was getting under way.
She just fucked a significant shareholder.
Its a big club, and you aint in it !!
Tauranga gang funerals: Police make 14 arrests, and seize guns, vehicles
Police have arrested six people in Tauranga for alleged breaches of the gang patch ban while monitoring tangi held for a prominent Mongrel Mob member and his partner.
A police spokeswoman said they were among 14 arrests during the funeral operation, which started earlier this week and is expected to continue on Friday.
Police from as far afield as Christchurch had been brought in to support local staff.
There was a heavy police presence around three Tauranga suburbs on Thursday as tangi were believed to be held for Wayne George Kelly, known as Ned Kelly, and his partner, who died shortly after he did.
It is understood Kelly’s tangi was at Matapihi and his partner’s was at Huria Marae in Judea.
On the street in Judea, many people wore red and some men took off their shirts, displaying their gang tattoos – which are not affected by the new Gangs Act 2024.
A man who identified himself as whānau told SunLive in Judea that the tangi for his aunty had been peaceful, with no gang patches worn.

from Chris Luxon
…It’s one year since the National-led Government took office and immediately got to work on reducing the cost of living, restoring law and order and delivering better health and education. …
Here are just some of the highlights from our first year in Government:
-Inflation has dropped to 2.2%, bringing relief from mortgages
-83% of New Zealanders have received tax relief, putting more money in their back pockets
-Wages are growing faster than inflation, putting more money into Kiwis’ budgets
-40,000 families have received FamilyBoost childcare payments to help reduce their childcare costs
-Delivered a 30% increase in Police foot patrols and a 60% decrease in ram raids
-Invested $604m in Pharmac to deliver up to 26 new cancer treatments
-Slashed the regulations holding back farmers
-Progressed the Fast Track Approvals regime to get stuff built, fast
-Led eight trade missions, delivered three trade agreements and resolved 16 barriers to trade because more Kiwi products on shelves overseas means higher incomes
-Cracked down on gangs and banned gang patches in public
-Progressed our plan for tougher sentences for serious criminals
-Banned cell phones in classrooms
-Required an hour of reading, writing and maths a day for our students
-Put in place structured literacy and maths from Term 1 next year so kids can grow the skills they need to succeed
-Invested $16.7b into health and set ambitious targets for shorter waits in the emergency department and for surgery.

Wow !!
underwhelmed
There are 28 cabinet ministers with even more portfolios; and he can list 15 items
that is pathetic
Most stuff is kicked down the road.
-No honest outcomes on lockdowns and plan for the future
-No pull back on fake climate nonsense
-Health and safety nonsense is still out of control and killing productivity.
-No reeling in media filth- they are still here poisoning the water
-public servants are not even cut back
-There is lots and lots and lots of consultation- talkfests
-and announcements
of announcements
tax cuts are minor and there has been Zero focus on productivity.
lift productivity and you make a stronger economy. Wealth will follow.
They have cut back govt revenue (a wee wee bit) but not cut back govt expenditure.
So NZ is going backwards.
he/she luxon really is proving to be the bald jacinda
Despite Peters yakking and Shane Jones yakking what has NZ First ever done in the last 12 months ?
..talk
clever bugger stuff from Jones and that’s about it.
after nine years of neglect under the Keys/Blinglish goo-mint where there was no focus on productivity, their big claim was to have settled dozens of Māori claims, worth Billions
(and signed UNDRIP, signed Paris accord )
driving the country toward poverty.
Electric Revenge: Texas Sues BlackRock And Others For ‘Conspiring’ To Quash Coal, Sending Energy Prices Soaring

Texas is leading a new lawsuit with 10 other red states against BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street for allegedly breaking antitrust law by colluding to suppress coal – causing electricity prices to spike.
“Competitive markets — not the dictates of far-flung asset managers — should determine the price Americans pay for electricity,” wrote Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in the complaint.
The Republican-led states, including West Virginia and Montana, are asking the court to bar the three largest US investment firms from using their stock in coal companies to vote on shareholder resolutions and take other steps in a way that restrains output and limits market competition. -Bloomberg
The complaint, filed in Tyler, Texas, is one of the highest profile lawsuits targeting companies that promote environmental, social and governance goals, or ESH.
“Over several years, the three asset managers acquired substantial stockholdings in every significant publicly held coal producer in the United States, thereby gaining the power to control the policies of the coal companies. Using their combined influence over the coal market, the investment cartel collectively announced in 2021 their commitment to weaponize their shares to pressure the coal companies to accommodate “green energy” goals,” the complaint continues.
“Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street utilized the Climate Action 100 and the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative to signal their mutual intent to reduce the output of thermal coal, which predictably increased the cost of electricity for Americans across the United States.”
The ‘cartel’ is accused of “deliberately and artificially constricting supply,” which “increased prices and enabled investment companies to produce extraordinary revenue gains.”
The other states involved in the lawsuit are Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, West Virginia and Wyoming.

that promote environmental, social and governance goals, or ESH.
ESH ????
That seems to be more like ESG Environment Social & Governance stakes that are driven deep into NZ.
That are summarized into the UN’s 17 Social Development Goals SDG
……. adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 …..
https://sdgs.un.org/goals
So which law will prevail, UN or USA (Trump) win in the USA?
Good timing, now that Trump has won.
In New Zealand we know that the 17 UN’s SDG’s will prevail, 🫨 ☹️
particularly as via National, John Key signed NZ up to UNDRIP.
New Zealand First, Winston Peters signed NZ up to the UN’s Global Migration Pact.
and whatever the UN wanted further compliance in. 😡
Suppressed: Scott Horton’s Appearance On Dave Smith’s Podcast Censorsed By YouTube

The success of Scott Horton’s best-selling book Provoked: How Washington Started the New Cold War with Russia and the Catastrophe in Ukraine clearly illustrates how the narrative that has fueled NATO’s war with Ukraine has all but completely collapsed. That collapse has been expedited by the erosion of trust in not only governments, but the means by which they have disseminated their propaganda through media. While big tech censorship seemingly reached its zenith in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and fallout from the 2020 Presidential Election, the desperation of the architects behind situation in Ukraine has seen them return to their old tricks. Big tech once again has tried to pull the wool over the public’s eyes by censoring Scott Horton’s appearance discussing the malfeasance that led to the war in Ukraine on fellow libertarian thinker Dave Smith’s podcast.

As they are funded almost exclusively by the pharma cartels they clearly don’t act as if they do.
One wonders then just what they think their purpose is?
Covid -its origins…

Now it makes sense why the pursuit of vaccine via respiratory contacts as touched on here.
And we know that research still continues.
The WHO is also fingered in this concept.
That lesson has been learned from the Covid virus & us as guinea pigs.
While here, it is good that “fact checkers” dance around on technicalities in the “now” but what is the aim? what is the future that some are seeking?
https://www.factcheck.org/2023/10/scicheck-posts-falsely-push-bill-gates-connected-air-vaccine-conspiracy/
Those so called official ‘Fact checkers’ after all do not seem to oppose that “men can become pregnant” and any person can be come a “chest feeder” while men should also have pap smears, as the good Doctor finds a cervix or a prostrate in a woman.
Thanks rol.
I enjoyed the video.
I like Peter McCullough, who just liked to stay with the facts, where he found they worked, with what background experience he had in his clinical work.
Interesting as it is not OTT but and still places the things we know.
Focuses the deviousness done,
Hopefully judicial action will now be able to start at least on one of the villain with sound facts & with standing the Judicial Courts.
