How sad. Its raining.
Thoughts on the Tauranga Container Terminal and the POT.
Despite what they pass off as needs we should look carefully at whether we need this terminal going forward.
If we look carefully at Mount Wharf, what has happened is that it has been filled up with dozens of tanks of various products, not all friendly stuff and in many cases they have been thanked by the Auckland population for taking them from their port to ours.
Was that really wise?
Now to containers.
Most of the containers handled here come from outside of our immediate district. Many go to and from the Auckland metro area or Hamilton either by rail and the tunnel is at its max or by road over the Kaimai’s. .
Below is a video of what is happening in the world of container ships, bigger and bigger and with the limited depth that our harbour can ever achieve shouldn’t we be considering alternatives.
There seems to me to be 2
Whangarei or Australia as there is no sensible economics for our container ports’ future.
If we look carefully at the shipping landscape then the suggestion of Napier Port around the Ferry terminals in Wellington and the amalgamation of the container handling makes good sense. Investment in good rail from Marsden Point to Auckland and beyond just makes good sense. Done all around the world except here.
Coastal container ships can be used to service other ports. If the Aussies get there first with a bigger berth and deeper water our investment will be worth very little.

Happy Boxing Day.🎁 All out for the sales! ////////
Morning rain and humid afternoon in the Waikato.
Have a gr8 day. ☔️☀️ 🕶️
hilarious, my heart bleeds for these poor californian folk caught up in new laws/////

Reckon we could get this action here?
Sooner the better.
Will Mitchel be bothered?
Will Lucyflakes think it worth the effort.
Rather better than pinging people for 1 km over there speed limits.
pinging folk for 1km over generates revenue, catching and prosecuting a shoplifter dosent.
if they had quotas for solving actual crimes instead of waiting on passing lanes for ppl trying to pass Ed in his camper then we may see some actual results and reduction in crime.
they should change the way they fund the police, pay an absolute minimum that dosent even cover each regions operating costs then have bounties on solving crimes… only problem would be the corrupt pigs would just stitch up anyone in order to secure the payment so strict criteria and safeguards would be needed (conviction?)
Cunch of bunts
The reason Police go hard on road offences & ignore other crime is well explained at https://www.nzta.govt.nz/planning-and-investment/funding-and-investing/road-policing-investment-programme/
……”The RPIP 2024-27 provides NZ police with $1.335 billion over three years to deliver road policing and enforcement”……
This is ring fenced money that must be spent on road policing because egotistical politicians like to have their citizenry reminded daily that they exist to obey petty laws.
Correct and if that amount was spent on making more roads safe then they would be able to pay the cops a bonus on real crimes solved.
One of the problems is that now slower speeds are a self-fulfilling need. Cars are much lass safe than they used to be. The ancp idea considers them for minor collisions.
The Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) uses different speeds for its crash tests, depending on the type of test:
Frontal offset test: 64 km/h
Side impact test: 60 km/h
Pole test: 32 km/h
Pedestrian test: 40 km/h
Whiplash test: 32 km/h
If roads were safer (median barriers), there would be way less frontals, was less for sides (bad intersections), and for your sake never try crashing a pole, that seems to kill more people than most other types of crash, (poles include trees. They seem to be able to jump out at cars at random and of course there is the occasional house that does as well.)
No mention of Motor Bikes.
When you are crossing the road at 9.00pm on a wet night in black clothes you are serious about committing suicide. (recently here. ) but speed ya know.
We had one Christmas Eve. Here is the the gossip. Suburban st. runs up hill or down as maybe.
Access from main road to low class living area.
Late night, bike rider, no helmet, no lights, jandals, no rego and possibly no license. Ran into a car. The police are investigating. Not really any need. Just another Tangi.
So while we have stupid we will have people getting killed.
Meanwhile, our death road for the last 50 years, the so called highway between Tga and kati has lost its bad reputation and why. Because it got so bad that NZTA could no longer ignore the death stats and so have been spending a lot of money to sort it out., not necessarily to everyone’s liking.
Had labour not interfered or more particularly that stupid green bitch, the hour long drive into town every day would have been on a finished highway but no she wanted us to use bikes. fucking mad bitch.
Same goes for the Kaimai road. Patch upon patch and still a long way to go to make it a safe road for all.
Solving 3 Rubic cubes whilst juggling. Amazing.
https://www.tiktok.com/@luizmedra/video/7209815431421431046
Bloody hell, what a magnificent demonstration of what the brain/body is capable of. He has to analyse the state of each cube, work out the required move, and perform it one-handed without looking as he’s now analysing the next one, and in the split second it’s in his hand before it must leave to maintain the juggle. He just needs to do it on a unicycle on a high wire and I’d be really impressed.

Does that include the Grand Master Wizard with the funny hat and his queer mats lat known address the vatican?
Actually, yes. Sick of his shit. If he just stuck to getting rid of the corruption in the church, I’d be a lot happier. Too many sickos in the church not getting sorted out.
Not sure how I feel about this. The death penalty has always been a conundrum for me, probably the issue I face is trying to balance objective reality with subjective feelings. In some cases where I hear of the depraved nature of the offense, my gut feeling is execute, but is that the best objective response. Further I once read an opinion on the death penalty where the author stated” Could you flick the switch or pull the leaver?” I am not sure I could so in some ways that becomes the bench mark I have to look to. Would I shoot in self defence? Absolutely. Could I shoot the same person later? Not sure.

Definitely a difficult one to decide.
However its well recognised that 5% off the population will be evil.
5% of then will be irredemable.
It’s in the DNA and nothing will change that.
Now if you had a mad dog would you house it forever or would you shoot it?
Everyone has a different answer.
The one thing that will be true is that letting them out will see a continuation of the behaviour.
The question is how do you assess the DNA.
Then there are others who become clinically insane and commit atrocities but when properly treated return to normalcy.
The other constant question is the person absolutely guilty of the act?
Getting more technical but in the end more provable.
good discusion.
Hubby recently received results of his personal ancestral DNA which included a list of not only his physical features he would have but also his behavioural characteristics. Having lived with him for over 40 years I can attest to the accuracy.
If it is true that Chyna has amassed information of personal DNA from ancestral sites and the covid nasal swabs then that is very SCARY. Apparently the insidious BIack Rock owns Ancestry, also very SCARY.
Sorting out who will be saved and who will be the new elite! Does it work on our natives?
Targeting bio-weapon pandemics at certain groups is a push they are dreaming about.
The other constant question is the person absolutely guilty of the act?
That is the crux of the matter. Is an insane person guilty of crimes? What about the Ceo shooter? If someone had murdered Hitler, or Stalin (or Ardern) as a teenager? So many issues that this raises. What about Bourla and the possible millions his vaccines may have killed? Drunk/stoned/indoctrinated people. Terrorists/freedom fighters convinced their cause is just. Its a great topic of discussion, with no obvious answers.
I think the Nuremberg Trials established a bench mark for them days. Not sure its still appropriate though as there is now a lot more people on the earth and a lot more evil as a consequence of that and the developments that have taken place. All are still driven by dogma, power and religion.
Yeah I don’t believe in the death penalty. Pity, because I keep seeing cases where I think it’d be a fitting outcome. Wouldn’t hesitate with self-defense or to protect someone else.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if the much vaunted modern medical system don’t really understand a basic process like respiration? SB will probably accuse me of falling for another internet scam but I post this not because I know it is true but because I found the theory interesting and consider that there may be some merit. For those who have an interest in medical subjects you may like this. Quite a long read.

Think it is entirlely on the right track.
If you look at all the athletes and people who do a lot of physical exertion and who had lots of jabs, why did they suddenly collapse as they did and still do?
The heart is often blamed but the heart needs both oxygen and electricity.
The use of pacemakers suggests that the heart is not getting the electricity it needs, either because of some phenomena like this or the wiring cells in the heart are failing.
In my case my wiring got cut during the heart opp and I finished up with just 80% of what the heart needs to function, hence a pacemaker, which is shortly due for replacement. One of eccentricities of the heart , (and probably other parts), is that the drs have no idea where the power lines in the heart are except they are in the internal wall. No doubt there are others.).
Lots of reasons to do some solid research.

A cop was patrolling late at night in a well-known lover’s spot, famous for obscene activities.
He sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing.
The cop carefully approaches the car to get a closer look.
Then he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, knitting. Puzzled by this surprising situation, the cop walks to the car and gently raps on the driver’s window.
The young man lowers his window. “Uh, yes, officer?”
The cop says: “What are you doing?”
The young man says: “Well Officer, I’m reading a magazine.”
Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the cop says: “And her, what is she doing?”
The young man shrugs: “Sir, I believe she’s knitting a pullover sweater.”
Now, the cop is totally confused.. A young couple, alone, in a car, at night in a Lover’s lane… and nothing obscene is happening!
The cop asks: “What’s your age, young man?” The young man says “I’m 22, sir.”
The cop asks: “And her…what’s her age?”
The young man looks at his watch and replies: “She’ll be 18 in 11 minutes.”

Elon Musk EXPOSES Elizabeth Warren’s Corruption (Is This the End for Her?)
Senator Elizabeth Warren has taken aim at Elon Musk, Tesla, and his influence on the U.S. government, branding his leadership a “conflict of interest.” Musk counters her claims as misguided attacks.
Musk does seem to have an inordinate amount of influence. That can’t be heathy, since nobody voted for Musk.
Is the Trump administration going to be run by tech oligarchs? Probably. Musk alone gave Trump $300 million in campaign contributions, so it seems that will be the case.
Less I think then the dem’s got from the Soros clan and its affiliates.
Less than the dems got last time from Zucks and google etc.
Musk has been in a quandary with the demorats blocking his business’ at every turn. He had to leave California and set up in Texas and other red states but couldn’t escape all their political warfare of bureaucratic regulations fining his every move.

Perhaps you have wondered why Trump is wanting the Panama Canal back.
Perhaps you have wondered why our costs have gone up so much.
Recall that earlier today I posted about the container ships and their size.
What Trump states is that Panama is favouring the Chinese but the problem is actually greater than that.
Panama’s problem is that it is limited in size and won’t take the big ships and because of the water shortage is limited to the movements it can do each day.
Meanwhile other countries are building big canals. Mexico, Israel, Egypt and Iraq. (https://www.polestarglobal.com/resources/red-sea-and-suez-canal/)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMDCKpmc-uo
If you look at this video it explains the railway across Mexico. This will be causing Trumpy some issues because sooner or later companies are going to move from China to along this rail line. Why, well look at the routes at each end. Access to the panhandle is very short and to the American East Coast. It is also close by air to the us so things like Chips will be easy to shift.
Commerce doesn’t care a lot about Trump and his tarrif threats. They are a 2 edged sword.
Walmart want cheap as do many other buyers including his favoured car companies. Consumers while they want cheaper stuff and want it built in the US are going to pay more, same for us.
Recent data acquired by Pole Star Global shows that declines in vessel traffic through the Suez Canal have persisted into the new year. That is, traffic has decreased by 19.23% between February 2024 and October 2023. In contrast, traffic through the Cape of Good Hope has surged by 7.3% during the same period, indicating a growing preference for this alternative route. Pole Star Global continues to monitor traffic in this region. (which affects us).
Some more reading is worth the time. You have to get past some of the rhetoric first but insightful stuff.
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20231105-an-alternative-to-the-suez-canal-is-central-to-israels-genocide-of-the-palestinians/
Gaza is currently being bombed to oblivion by the deranged Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu who wants to deliver The Ben Gurion Canal Project. Yes, Tel Aviv already has a name for the canal which was first proposed back in the Sixties. It would connect the Gulf of Aqaba on the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and would even be named after the first prime minister of Israel.
In summary, these two critical choke points are interdependent, where reduced throughput in one leads to heightened activity in the other. However, with both canals confronting their unique challenges, multiple pressures are being exerted on international trade. In the case of the Suez Canal, the Panama Canal currently does not offer a viable alternative.
Other potential detour options, such as the Northern Sea Route, also present their own set of obstacles. While this route offers a 40% shorter pathway between Asia and Europe compared to the Suez Canal, its navigability is restricted to just five months a year due to ice, plus there are concerns about its environmental impact on the fragile Arctic ecosystem.
Meanwhile, the railway line linking China to Europe has also experienced notable growth in freight transport. However, both rail and Northern Sea Route connections are affected by sanctions on Russia.
In conclusion, for those seeking to circumvent the Red Sea, the only viable option left is the lengthy detour around Africa, with transits on that route up 168% for the year.
So lots to take in. And we haven’t talked about China and the Transcontinental rail to Europe which is operational but relies on Russia nor the Northern Passage where Russia is building 2 very large nuclear-powered ice breakers to keep the path open.
President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday presided over the launch ceremony for Russia’s latest nuclear-powered icebreaker, as Moscow aims to expand its presence in the Arctic and replace markets lost to Western sanctions. 06.11.2024
“Strengthening the nation’s icebreaker fleet is crucial to our plans for Arctic development and boosting cargo traffic on the Northern Sea Route,” Putin said via video link.
Russia touts the Northern Sea Route, which stretches some 5,000 kilometers (3,107 miles) between the Barents Sea and the Chuckchi Sea, as an alternative shipping lane between Europe and Asia, claiming it can shorten transit times by up to 15 days compared to the Suez Canal.

no derranged cries from the demented one about rail enabled ships to be used!
did anyone ask you for your opinion?
same goes to you old chap 🙂
Going by the middleeastmonitor link on an Israeli “Ben Gurion Canal” project does not even exist in wikipedia.
The only reason it can into any thought ideas was in the late 50’s early 60’s because the concept was to blow the rock with 100’s of nuclear explosions, that would also double as blowing away the spoil.
What a great way for the French, UK, & the USA to do their nuclear testing.
While using the escape line that much is rhetoric, about Gaza, genocides, Hamas etc.. Nuts. !
With in the past year ago I posted a number of links to it, to prove it was simply not feasible, as the cut through the Negev desert, not of sand, but hard rock, will have to be over 450 metres down, over many kilometres, bearing in mind, there is no water way, or substantial rainfall to have a lock system.
Maybe loving care of a dual carriage way of trains & tunnels may work, despite some not wanting to increase the doubling handling, which is anyway becoming more AI computerized crane handling.
In the meantime as Viking did not read the thread when I outlined what is involved then again, here is another link, that deals more in the facts, than rhetoric and grandiose plans.
….. That the construction of such a waterway would be a highly unrealistic and uneconomical project anyway, becomes clear as soon as you read the 1963 document.
It would probably be the largest construction project of the present day.
The canal was to measure over 250 km in length, and in some places, it would have to be dug up to 450 metres deep into the desert floor.
As this would be too costly using conventional building methods, the author of the concept paper, Howard David MacCabee, suggested excavating the canal through the Negev desert using 520 nuclear detonations. ….
https://fathomjournal.org/the-ben-gurion-canal-a-new-crazy-anti-israeli-conspiracy-theory-is-doing-great-business-on-the-internet-while-the-social-media-platforms-do-nothing/
A great plan for a nuclear explosive enthusiast.
In part just how much trade do we need?
What more is going to be needing containers to be exported from New Zealand?
The pine-trees, phasing over to native trees, once signed into Net Carbon Zero credits will be left in the ‘restorative state’
What will NZ need, as they way to go will be by horse, , a shovel to gather up the fertilizer into flax bags grown in our wet lands.
This problem is what is needed to be stopped.
So you are suggesting that a report from 1963 is valid today?
Geo political realities will move mountains if its suits the needs of the combatants.
Viking you are the one who is showing the Ben Gurion Canal as if it ready to go to beyond the plans into action as if Gaza was the only hold up if one would only get over the rhetoric of Palestinian genocide or if the people can be moved a bit side ways.
I am showing a 1963 report which your article is actually based on, that brings some facts & the method that was being considered in those days.
Now resurrected as a needle of anti Jewishness.
….. using 520 nuclear detonations. ….
So Viking, you are doing the “zionist conspiracy rhetoric” work, while I show that is not the answer.
I question your comprehension of the quoted first sentence, and then how it can be constructed with nuclear detonations to be “valid today”.
It seems that as per usual custom of yours, so often you pop in with a copy paste & drop a link, never read the rest of this blog, as so often you it was a bit further up the blog, with already a good thread going.
So it is obvious you never bothered to read, when I more than touched on this with about 4-5 links and there was talk of fast rail in Israel through that Negev Desert, since Oct 7th 2023
Yet the ships will still have to sell close to Yemen & the Houthis, along the Saudi Arabia coast, & on the other side Eritrea, Djibouti, Sudan, with close behind.
I doubt if Viking has even thought of the bottle necks in the Gulf of Aqaba with Egypt, Jordan & again Saudi Arabia.
It is always good to sink other peoples money into these big schemes, where there will be no accountability is it not?
Dream big, but real as you would not put your life savings into such schemes.
So as if China can get other peoples to sign up, that seems that politically the CCP will have the silent power over some of those countries.
China will look after itself first, and only enough to keep the control over a future vassal state.
I see again you link to the 1960’s plan of nuking a canal through mountain ranges of rock & plateau, a cut of over 450 metres of rock.
The easy thing strangely enough that once near Gaza the depth is much easier, & also probably more easier to around Gaza even if it is a bit further.
The canal would make an excellent part of a border, & much more difficult to tunnel under the border.
Perhaps you missed this as well.

The India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor:

India and the other stakeholders of the IMEC from Europe and the Middle East have strong imperatives for identifying an alternative to the Suez Canal. This arises from their common interest in safeguarding supply chains, with trade between India, the Middle East and Europe slated to expand rapidly following the conclusion of India’s ongoing foreign trade agreements (FTA).

I like the point in the 2nd link of $17BN Suez Canal Rival which is a massive port, AI sensor crane containers to load the train.
The point as made with the Hi Speed train is, “if successful” while noting the armed security guards.
A lot of the projects is like digging a hole, spending a lot of money, and “if successful” will make a pay back.
Some may be the right call & others, oh well good bye to some one’s pension fund or whatever.
Is it New Zealand money, like from the Climate Change Zero Carbon Credits that we are supposed to pay billions into other countries with no accountability?
But we are supposed to feelz good about all these different projects, but seem unable to sort our selves out.
Who knows but its about understanding what is happening around the world which will inevitably affect us.
We trade that’s our life blood.
All the major lines come thru POT.
Hence all the costs are transferred to our product exports and to our imports.
Plenty are finding costs have blown out and now you can understand why.
Interest rates and controlling inflation via them in crock of shit. Always has been and always will be. The reason we had low inflation was be cause china become the worlds biggest producer and did it for next to nothing therefore companies moved there, Nations got rich on oil and now we have the inevitable consequences of the political positioning added to the religious control.
The interesting thing is that many countries have lots of oil and gas. That now poses a threat to many of the other countries whose riches have been made via oil. Couple that with the endeavour to replace oil and there’s more oil than the world can use, able to be sold. The US oil companies are trying to control that along with the Arabs. Hence the bombing of the oil pipes from Russia to Germany and the Ukrainians saying they won’t continue to allow the transit of oil across their land. Germany is now again beholden to the US and the US want to be paid for all their war supplies and protection racket that has been run in Europe. Europe is broke and can’t pay so the US is insisting on Europe buying their oil rather than Russia’s.
Lots more to come.
The Turks will build their canal and Mexico will get on top of their issues. Indeed the Mexican canal will create a barrier against migrants from further south. One of the reasons Trump wants control of the Panama is to hedge his bets against Mexico.
all very interesting.

Scientists Announce Breakthrough in Treating Cancer with Ivermectin
David LindfieldDecember 25, 2024 – 12:23 pm
Several leading scientists and oncologists have announced a major breakthrough in treating cancer with the “wonder drug” ivermectin.
The combination of fenbendazole and ivermectin as an alternative cancer therapy is giving new hope to doctors and patients alike.
Originally developed as antiparasitic medications, both drugs have demonstrated remarkable off-label effects that may be key in the fight against cancer.
Fenbendazole is commonly used to treat parasitic infections in animals.
It has shown promising results in preclinical studies for its ability to suppress cancer cell growth.
It works by disrupting the microtubules in cancer cells.
The drug essentially breaks down the structure cancer cells need to divide and spread.
By interfering with cell division, fenbendazole starves the cancerous cells of their ability to multiply, leading to their eventual death.
Studies from various sources, including recent research published on PubMed Central, highlight fenbendazole’s cytotoxic effects against multiple types of cancer cells.
