According to the mythology virgins are only on offer in heaven.
Those bastards broke enough rules to ensure they went to the hotter place.
According to mythology the virgins are also goats. Epstein probably wasn’t that interested,
I’ll be ok then.
I have never been a fan of Phil Quin and disagreed with a lot he says but I think he has done a reasonable job in this Column this morning.

It isn’t just Nats turning magazines around. It is people sick of how disaster hungry our Prime Minister and her Media Party are. Sick of how she is the epitome of a politician kissing babies. Sick of her fakeness. Hell, sick of Ardern.
You don’t need to vote National to be sick of Ardern.
Yes i think people are getting sick of her frowny face, her hugs, and her hugging babies and visits to every primary school in NZ.
If the magazines and tv keep doing it, it may work against her i the election.
So hope they keep it up.
Kissing Babies is so ‘last century’
Woke Politicians cuddle everyone in sight now…(Until they get the right photo that is- A first responder from White Island tells that Ardern turned around and stomped off as soon as she got the thumbs up from the Photographer)
I bet that the frawny face got wiped off as well!
Talking to a friend this morning. She has just returned from a trip to Tasmania for Christmas. While there she was having dinner with a tour group of European visitors.
Everyone of them said we are very lucky to have such a good sympathetic person as our PM. They could not believe her when she told them the truth.
Cindy really has got the UN job in the bag. The quicker she fucks off and takes it the better we will be.
Europe is far more woke than New Zealand, so I’m not surprised.
Europe is dogtucker.
If people are seriously concerned about suicide they might look at the actual suicide of ‘European people’.
The people who once conquered ‘the world’ are themselves being conquered and are not even chucking some spears back in resistance.
They are DONE.
Like a Christmas ham; cut away piece by piece until it is all gone.
Douglas Murray’s book 2 years ago is an excellent academic analysis
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Strange_Death_of_Europe
Overview:-
‘The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam’ is a 2017 book by the British journalist and political commentator Douglas Murray. It was published in the United Kingdom in May 2017, and in June 2017 in the United States.
The book’s title was inspired by George Dangerfield’s classic of political history The Strange Death of Liberal England, published in 1935.
Thesis
Murray explores two factors that explain why, in his view, European civilization as we have known it will not survive. The first is the combination of mass migration of new peoples into the continent together with Europe’s negative birth rates. The second is what Murray describes as “the fact that… at the same time Europe lost faith in its beliefs, traditions, and legitimacy”
If your wallet is a moth farm and you don’t want to fork over for this great work there is a free version online
https://www.academia.edu/36864463/The_strange_death_of_europe_immigration_-_douglas_murray
The opening two paragraphs are relevant and read as:-
…Europe is committing suicide. Or at least its leaders have decided to commit suicide. Whether the European people choose to go along with this is, naturally, another matter.
When I say that Europe is in the process of killing itself I do not mean that the burden of European Commission regulation has become overbearing or that the European Convention on Human Rights has not done enough to satisfy the demands of a particular community. I mean that the civilisation we know as Europe is in the process of committing suicide and that neither Britain nor any other Western European country can avoid that fate because we all appear to suffer from the same symptoms and maladies. As a result, by the end of the lifespans of most people currently alive Europe will not be Europe and the peoples of Europe will have lost the only place in the world we had to call home….

By the way, if you look at the Moori_fication of Aote….New Zealand you will see a similar subjugation.
The handing over of money to people who do not deserve it and are triple dipping anyway; plus the surrendering of rights..all pushed by Marxist academics and aided by media filth.
Beware the Ides of March.
I think Ed should invite The King back. He was banned under the unoriginal conspiracy theory that he was me. Which you people do all the time when confronted with truth about the self declared master race.
Kea, show me on the doll where the bad jooo touched ya.
Same place the moooosleem touched you Mikey.
It had nothing to do with you, except he talked more vile crap than you did. No blog can have two nutters and expect to survive. It was either you or him. 😇😇
The stuff you actively promote about muslims is the “vile crap”.
What upset you were facts that did not support your prejudice.
Do you want this blog to be an echo chamber of Zionism like KB? If so then clearly state you won’t tolerate anything critical of Jews, even historical facts and accepted history.
I think what upset ED, was the fact that people like you and the King put people off coming to YSB with a single agenda, yesterday was so nice.
Diggy get your head out of your arse, it’s not me with a single (or any) “agenda”
I hold all religions to account equally. That is my entire point in fact.
You do bang on with the same old abuse chucked at everyone, like an angry monkey flinging his shit at anyone who gets too close to his enclosure. 😵
kea come back next week
Bin wonderin! Is kea our old Redbaiter a bit older?

Wind throwing itself around here too. Gusts coming from different directions swirling around the house and buffeting the roof. Been blowing for 3 days so far.
A bit harsh on Mawree.
This is an intention of building up “fuel load” so that politicians, scientists and many others ignore other concerns and can put and keep their noses in the troughs.
Read it and weep, how the “Deep State” of Scientists of academia, built up the Dead Wood alongside with politicians, bureaucracy, media in many Shires, Councils and so the fuel load in Canberra must be metres high.
7. Removal of dead old trees (either standing or on the ground) results in the loss of important habitat such as hollows and decaying wood (Gibbons & Lindenmayer 2002) for a wide variety of vertebrates, invertebrates and microbial species and may adversely affect the following threatened species:
11. In view of the above the Scientific Committee is of the opinion that Removal of dead wood and dead trees adversely affects two or more threatened species, populations or ecological communities or could cause species or populations that are not threatened to become threatened.
https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/topics/animals-and-plants/threatened-species/nsw-threatened-species-scientific-committee/determinations/final-determinations/2000-2003/removal-of-dead-wood-and-dead-trees-key-threatening-process-listing?fbclid=IwAR0L44Cai7sWlu2OsCStnrfrDtluaL-hgA2S3DJRojIOSEIA1VRVem0z8n8
These fires are caused in the name of “dud” science! and really everything about being summer time, a bit dry this year, is not the real deep down reason.
So Scientists now double down about Climate Change “record temperatures” and the rest of that “Deep State” in Councils, Shires, States & government support this cover story.
Burn backs, Clearing, Grazing, Fire Wood Collecting etc…. had been stopped for many years in the name of ……….
Just read the gobbley gook created by the “Deep State” bureaucracy all in the name of control & taxes.
In some parks the removal of woody debris may be a fire management practice, helping to reduce fire risk.
Policy
1. Collecting firewood in parks for use off-park is prohibited.
2. Collecting timber for firewood is allowed in backcountry (more remote) areas, in any park category, except where it is:
~prohibited by a park plan of management
~prohibited by a sign or notice
~for commercial gain
~for use outside the park boundary.

The new cult of sustainability, burnt, but looking to burn up the people as well.
Sadly many of the people seem to be self igniting as they “double down” to the cult of climate change, as it seeks to control and tax.

Their thread on the TurnArdern campaign now has 272 comments, some are hilarious.
Thank you DigNap15 have not had such a great feeling since the feelz came to be. Lovely to see these people have a brain that can see past the shit being spun by the woke MSM.
Has anyone promoted ysb over there ? I haven’t inhabited the message boards there since I joined kb in 2010
I was wondering if Ed has sent the link to Ysb to David Seymour or any other MP’s? And gotten a response.
I’ve added my hard-hitting comments there now (under “pythonista”).
Fun fun fun…….. 🙂
Has anyone in the media asked what other peaceful religion hoists red flags above its houses of worship as a call for revenge?
I don’t recall the Christian churches in our area doing that after the Easter Bombings in Sri Lanka or does this only apply to the puerile minds of the Middle East?
Yes, one wonders what the immams are preaching about in their mosques this week
I don’t wonder, but I would hazard a guess.
In Canada, Toronto, a great celebration of a martyr to his paradise in the name of “peace”
MY Society, which describes itself as a Mosque, community organization and nonprofit, did not immediately respond to The Post Millennial‘s request for comment. On Twitter, MY Society states its goal as “aim[ing] to make our youth self reliant principle centered leaders so that we may build a strong Canadian Muslim Heritage.”
https://www.thepostmillennial.com/toronto-muslim-group-plans-vigil-for-iranian-terrorist-qasem-soleimani/
Interesting “aims” while lighting a candle? 🙁
I am puzzled how they are out for revenge when he is now in their paradise with the 72 virgins. I would have thought the Muslims should be really happy for him and settle down again thinking how very lucky he is to have reached paradise. Obviously they don’t believe that shit do they?
No, the media are too busy showing pics of Soleieman and videos of his funeral with thousands of angry young men chanting (with no jobs)
Trumpy should bomb the funeral as well.
Commenting for a friend.
From kb Odakyu-sen
“I always know where you are. Keep going down the path you’re on and I will kill you.”
Guardian Major-General Solemani’s killing was as public an execution…..
Trump is fluently speaking the language of the Middle East.
https://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2020/01/general_debate_6_january_2020.html#comment-2618736
Odakyu-sen would be a wonderful addition to YSB.
As would David Garrett and some others….
~ Muslims gathered at the Islamic Centre of England in Maida Vale, London
~ Paid tribute to General Qassem Soleimani who was killed during an air strike
The Islamic Centre’s director has reportedly referred to Soleimani as an ‘honourable Islamic commander’ in a message of condolence.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7852027/Man-arrested-outside-Islamic-Centre-memorial-Iranian-General-Qassem-Soleimani.html?ito=social-twitter_dailymailUK
An imam paid a passionate tribute to assassinated Iranian general Qassem Soleimani outside the Islamic Centre of England yesterday, describing him as a martyr and saying that people should ‘aspire to be like him’. [with the video as inspiration and aspiration: 1 minute]
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7854419/British-imam-says-aspires-like-Qassem-Soleimani-glowing-tribute.html
And so muslims follow Mohammad, guided by his sayings, actions & deeds, to be most “perfect man” that they want to emulate,
Wouldn’t it be delicious if Trump sent a drone to one of these ‘memorial’ events in the UK?????
Now, in our continuing series of Nothing to Do With Islam incidents, “a probe had been launched to determine the motivation of the attack.”
Let me see, “Police in France have shot and wounded a knifeman who rushed at a group of officers shouting ‘Allahu akbar’ ”
Yes, I am having trouble thinking of any possible reason for this, oh well, better just put it down to “mental illness.” I hope the police will receive the further firearms training they obviously need.

Get in first Cindy – ban knives now

I see the unions are rattling the cages again on their ongoing campaign of unsatisfied workers. Must be election year:
Most employees don’t think they’re paid what they’re worth – survey

In China, where they actually make useful stuff they get $4 an hour.
They still have to buy phones and cars and tvs and rice out of that!
Its our housing costs and groceries that are too dear!
So it turns out the Cricket Test that the Lefies have all been sneering ‘Should have been cancelled’ has raised over a million dollars already for Breast Cancer.
From Facebook-
“It’s only bloody cricket”
“Rich white boys play cricket while the World burns”
“That game should have been called off and the players forced to fight fires”
So one can naturally assume that the miserable, Looney Left don’t support raising funds for Cancer?
More so; they hate women. But our own Labour Party has amply demonstrated that.
Go to the top of the class. Of course they don’t, but they will bitch and moan if ever there was not enough funding for them. if they ever got a cancer other than their leftie ideals, you would hear them wailing worse that an immam at the mosque.
‘No body, no parole’ if Private Members’ Bill succeeds
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/no-body-parole-if-private-members-bill-succeeds
“It will be a case of “no body, no parole” for convicted murderers if a National MP’s Private Members’ Bill succeeds.”
“If there is a very clear sense that the offender was guilty, was rightfully convicted, but is still refusing to identify the location of the victim’s remains, then my Bill would give the Parole Board a strong steer that they shouldn’t give the offender parole.”
The Bill is yet to be pulled from the ballot box.
You’d think we have more important problems to fix.
Lots of ifs, buts and maybes in there WK but I agree with the sentiment.
“It will be a case of “no body, no parole”..it should be this clearcut from the get go.
‘give the Parole Board a strong steer’…may as well piss into the wind, how often does the PB listen to anyone?
‘was rightfully convicted’..lawyers would have a field day picking holes.
If you can come up with two bodies, can you halve your non-parole period?

Why I voted Greens

So close to the truth,
as the ‘other parts’ are shaved.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/12/goats-are-the-best-tool-grazers-in-high-demand-to-reduce-us-wildfire-risk
California reckons goats are the best tool in clearing out undergrowth to help minimise wild fires
That makes a lot of sense. Goats are well known to eat almost anything. Good observation.
Don’t kangaroos basically do the same job or are they more picky in what they will eat?
wg. Interesting point about the kangaroos, as they were the original graziers. Marketing ideas? and then to harvest them?
I know graziers farmers, do not like them, as they seem to compete for the same crops & grass particularly during droughts.
Then to consider to leave the dingoes to run around too.
https://theconversation.com/why-do-some-graziers-want-to-retain-not-kill-dingoes-77457
Feral goats can also be seen as troublesome in some areas, and seem to prefer arid and semi arid conditions may further erosion.
It is changing though.
Many pastoralists in Australia now consider the capture and sale of feral goats to be an essential part of their business.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_goats_in_Australia
Can harvesting, goats, kangaroos, and harvesting forestry timber and firewood. It all seems to be surrounded by so much bureaucratic rules, laws & regulations, as the global “Deep State” figures it knows best in its tax & control.
Now I do not trust what scientists and the “Deep State” of the bureaucracy & politicians come up with.
Basically to consider, moderation in all things. 🙂

Dominic Cummings led the Brexit campaign and is Boris Johnson’s top advisor at No 10.
Dominic writes:
“We want to improve performance and make me much less important — and within a year largely redundant. At the moment I have to make decisions well outside what Charlie Munger calls my ‘circle of competence’ and we do not have the sort of expertise supporting the PM and ministers that is needed. This must change fast so we can properly serve the public.
I don’t want confident public school bluffers. I want people who are much brighter than me who can work in an extreme environment. If you play office politics, you will be discovered and immediately binned.
I noticed in the recent campaign that the world of digital advertising has changed very fast since I was last involved in 2016. This is partly why so many journalists wrongly looked at things like Corbyn’s Facebook stats and thought Labour was doing better than us — the ecosystem evolves rapidly while political journalists are still behind the 2016 tech, hence why so many fell for Carole’s conspiracy theories. The digital people involved in the last campaign really knew what they are doing, which is incredibly rare in this world of charlatans and clients who don’t know what they should be buying.
People in SW1 talk a lot about ‘diversity’ but they rarely mean ‘true cognitive diversity’. They are usually babbling about ‘gender identity diversity blah blah’. What SW1 needs is not more drivel about ‘identity’ and ‘diversity’ from Oxbridge humanities graduates but more genuine cognitive diversity.
We need some true wild cards, artists, people who never went to university and fought their way out of an appalling hell hole, weirdos from William Gibson novels like that girl hired by Bigend as a brand ‘diviner’ who feels sick at the sight of Tommy Hilfiger or that Chinese-Cuban free runner from a crime family hired by the KGB. If you want to figure out what characters around Putin might do, or how international criminal gangs might exploit holes in our border security, you don’t want more Oxbridge English graduates who chat about Lacan at dinner parties with TV producers and spread fake news about fake news.
By definition I don’t really know what I’m looking for but I want people around No10 to be on the lookout for such people.
We need to figure out how to use such people better without asking them to conform to the horrors of ‘Human Resources’ (which also obviously need a bonfire).

Dominic is looking to employ mavericks thinkers to envisage new ways of operating from the way Parliament in Britain has traditionally run the country. You know the old adage, if you continue to do what you have always done you will continue to get what your have always got.
Word on the street is that Phil Twyford is updating his CV in anticipation of applying as a project manager.
🤡
Twit Twyford heading overseas, that sounds good, lets hope he gets the job!
That was taking the piss out of Phail. Unlike Socialist Cindy’s raft of ineptitude Phail Twyford would be drummed out of the Conservatives for being inept and incompetent. A complete failure.
waikatogirl – that Dominic Cummings sounds *excellent!* He is the kind of guy that the Nats and Act should be hiring to help with the election campaign.
Actually, he sounds good enough to be our P.M.! He sounds like a real “no bullshit” guy and that’s **exactly** what we need.
I agree tranquil. Hopefully still time for a talented maverick leader to emerge to rescue NZ from the socialist choke hold we are currently languishing under. Please!!
Greg Gutfield on the pitfalls of raising the minimum wage. Socialist Cindy, her close friend the finance minister and their puppet master unionists should take note. (this was under the Obama administation)

The consequences of socialism (Venezuela)
“Socialism results in a society eating itself from inside to out”
Yes but every country that has tried has done it wrong, Cindy said that she will do it right!
yes I think we should push this socialism message.
Labour and the Greens are full on socialists.
And socialism does not work.
Transferring one lot of money, where it is considered that some with privilege have too much, and it is such “kindness” to help the more needy, like students who owe too much money or poverty suffering children.
How can one argue against that.? Seriously 🙁
That is what they trade on!
See the consequences are so great, as the Utopia will fill with “well being” and “kindness”.
It is not recognized as full on socialism, but for “well being” in receiving and “kindness” in making the tax payments.
Such a “kind” guy you are DigNap15 to give such “well being” of worth to others. //
If there was less socialism and taxes, people would have more money to donate to charity (not street beggars)
All the many different ways, to transfer money … according to Fire Drill Friday and their fans.
wealth redistribution from fossil fuel companies ….. ….. fund the Green New Deal.
https://climatechangedispatch.com/alarmists-reparations-green-new-deal/
So that all those “well studied” with “scientific degrees” can feed from the trough.
Does it matter that others have to pay much more money for electricity, that is if they can afford to remain plugged in, like in Germany, South Australia or have enough heating fuel to stay warm through a cold winter.
Even if there are subsidies, one can be sure they believe they will be sanctimoniously clipping the ticket, in many ways.. Well that is until, ….. the money runs out like the above wg comment on Venezuela,
In the mean time the working taxpaying worker & entrepreneur will stop laying those “golden eggs” that are taxed, as they will feel as it is being ripped out from the very bowels of the “golden goose”.
I enjoy DriveTribe. The guys from Top Gear are on there, having a bit of irreverent fun and it’s good to see all the latest and greatest from the automotive world. Then, last night, I read this piece.
Some excerpts:
Basically, as a species we’ve been throwing a massive, all-night 18th birthday party while our parents were on holiday. We’ve had drink, drugs, prostitutes and fights, but now our parents are due home at any time and we need to assess the damage. We need to try and fix the mess we’ve made before mum and dad see it, go ballistic and literally ‘kill us’. The climate crisis IS that bad, and it IS that urgent.
Motoring journalists, and again, any reference to a journalist is purely coincidental – are now buying into climate change. Holy biscuits.
Jeremy Clarkson is being influenced by his 16 year old daughter. Daddy, don’t be ridiculous!!!! //
‘Leave meat and dairy in hospital meals’: backlash to new sustainability guidelines for health sector
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12294843
Some hospitals are introducing meat free Mondays. Nutritionists are not happy that vulnerable hospitalised patients who require high protein meals are being denied essential nutrients from meals containing meat by lobbying vegans.
More virtue signalling idiots telling us how to live our lives. Piss off! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
After a major operation, where I received blood, and realized that the blood transfusions only have a bare minimum of red blood cells, as they are prioritized for other more needy patients.
Meat was an essential to carry back iron, and to assist iron to be carried through from leafy green veges..
The veges are not even near enough, nor can one eat enough of them.
Iron tablets, can have severe side effects to put it politely on the digestive tract, and are a strain, when already at a low ebb.
Good nutrition is needed to recover for bones and tissues to mend after surgery and the advice was to eat like a horse, even when one did not always feel like it.
The sooner one is a bit better, then the sooner you are out of hospital, saving hundreds if not thousands of dollars per day.
How do they work out this stupid “scientific” idea of vegetarianism/veganism “kindness” to the planet, against the price of slowing a patients recovery and for the patients “well being”. 🙂
The high carb low fat diet has killed many millions and made billions sicker and weaker. There is a direct correlation between decreased fat and meat consumption and higher rates of obesity and diabetes in the West.
We are not all the same. I lost a lot of weight over a year ago and have been eating to restore my weight since as It takes a lot for me to gain a much needed few kilos. It hasn’t helped that I was diagnosed recently as lactose intolerant and allergic to eggs. It is not healthy if meat is removed from my diet.
I think you are right Kea, so that’s a tick from me
AND they are saying that that food pyramid that everyone had in their kitchen years ago was bad advice also
Dietitians NZ, the professional body for dietetics, labelled the meat and dairy recommendation disappointing and not appropriate for those in hospital
That says it all, really. Socialists know better than professionals, of course. That’s why they can laugh off treasury, health professionals, mine experts, etc. and do whatever they feel like.
Uh-oh, another Stuff opinion piece on those having more than others:
Why an increasingly unequal New Zealand needs a wealth tax
https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/opinion-analysis/118534770/why-an-increasingly-unequal-new-zealand-needs-a-wealth-tax
If you want to make a point why would you use Elizabeth Warren to front your opinion. Yikes!
Stop adding taxes, make it cheaper for the poor to exist by reducing tax. Increasing or making up new taxes does not make it easier to live.
I wonder if he realises that in 2016 tax looked like this:
* 40% of New Zealand households receive more in benefits than they pay in taxes.
* 3% of tax payers pay a quarter of all taxes in this country.
Of course, GST and similar taxes like Jacinda Ardern’s very regressive regional fuel tax, etc. fuck the poor even more. But since when has a socialist cared about the lower income earners in our society? They don’t pose for photos and are only useful in an election year when Jacinda Ardern needs somebody to cry over.
We **don’t** need more taxes – we need **less wasteful spending!**
No government has *ever* looked at taking a chainsaw to spending in the way that it needs to be done. Axing useless “PC” groups like Women’s Affairs, Waitangi Tribunal, Human Rights Office, Race Relations Office. Chainsawing local government spending. Axing the DPB.
Do you get the feeling that the opinion writer has got nothing, achieved nothing in his life and wants someone to subsidise his!
Plus all he is a journalist. A failure in life!

Ricky Gervais has got some balls

He really gave it to them!
Ricky is a rarity in Hollywood, he doesn’t care what others think of him. He doesn’t seek the limelight, drinks beer and swears and as he says “I don’t care”
Now that is comedy gold hahahahahahahahahahaha.
Classic! Love it. Really gave it to the self-important gifts. He did poke one at Meryl, so his joke about getting whacked may turn out to be prophetic once Killary gets wind of it.

Lets hope there are many more
Thanks for that diggi I have just been and posted this
It seems the gloss that was the “turd Ardern” has well and truly worn off
She sealed her fate when she first opened her gob.
A phony actress.
Lady….nobody cares.
Most people would try to improve their persona.
I suppose you have to have something to work with initially.
My question is..what the fuck were her and liarbor doing for 9 looooong years in opposition?
Turning up for lunch Id say. Usless bludging assholes.
Sweet fuck all, comes to mind.
Possibly vegan meatloaf recipes, definitely Xi Jinping-pong.
They’ve sold us out Mike.
To an ideology, based on physical and emotional sensations……all for a measly bag of bonjella flavoured jelly beans and a balloon.
On the Turn Ardern thread on Trademe, one lady in a shop said she had gotten so sick of turning them back, that she just leaves them turned over!
Went to the wharehouse and could not find them. Not even in the bargin bin!
Don’t worry, there will be plenty of magazines with her on the front cover to keep you employed.
Hi all –
I’ve got an idea for convincing many more people to leave Labour and the Greens – posting on the “Opinion and Politics” section of the TradeMe message boards.
https://www.trademe.co.nz/Community/MessageBoard/Threads.aspx?topic=7
There will be *lots* of people hanging out there who haven’t yet come here. Many of them will be lefties.
A few good rock-solid and sensible replies to various topics there would IMO convert a good number of people.
Yes.
We would reach a much bigger target there.
I often read the comments there.
I find that its sort of 50/50 left and right
We would also be able to get some more members for YSB
(I got banned years ago for mentioning muslims and maoris too many times.)
At the annual ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Gervais ended his monologue by telling the limousine liberals: “If you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a political platform to make a political speech. You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything, you know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg. So, if you win, come up, accept your little award, thank your agent and your God and f*ck off. OK?”
Winston Peters calls for de-escalation as tensions rise between US and Iran

Winston Peters is calling for restraint and de-escalation as tensions rise between the US and Iran after Iranian major general Qassem Soleimani was killed in a targeted airstrike.
“When it comes to Iraq, it’s time to go,” Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said.
The Taji deployment reduced to a maximum of 75 from July, 2019 and would drop further to 45 in January 2020.
New Zealand increased stabilisation funding to Iraq over the next three years, estimated to go up to $3 million per year from $2.4m.
Oh great, I am sure they will all listen to Winston
So is the UN secretary general.
But when was the last time any country listened to them
Another stupid young female politician

Trump says Iranian leader Soleimani behind terror plots in India, MEA stays silent
“Soleimani made the death of innocent people his sick passion, contributing to terrorist plots as far away as New Delhi and London. Today we remember and honour the victims of Soleimani”s many atrocities and we take comfort in knowing that his reign of terror is over,” Trump said.

This is good too.
https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/406785/nz-defence-force-to-halt-training-at-iraq-s-camp-taji-minister-ron-mark-says
“The New Zealand Defence Force says reports that it is preparing a C130 Hercules to evacuate 45 defence force personnel from Camp Taji are untrue.
A defence force spokesperson said it was not actively preparing to evacuate its personnel in the region.
They say any decision to evacuate personnel will be made by the government.”
So are our troops being evacuated or not? Does Socialist Cindy not want to admit NZ troops will be evacuated by the nasty “orange man”? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
She loves fucking with peoples lives doesn’t she?
20 years a Mormon.
They love to lord it over others.
Holier than thou – even Holysheet.
Too many m’s in Mormon
If I was a service person in need of urgent evacuation from Camp Taji, I would be worried if our geriatric Herc was my only exit option. When you have an angry mob of Iranians on your tail feathers calling you Alan Snackbar, you don’t want to be crossing your fingers and hoping your transport doesn’t cough, cough, splutter.
Sort of?

Was this posted earlier? I assume Iranian immigation to America will be halted? Not that there aren’t enough there anyway.

Yes there are at least 7 million muslims in the USA, I image quite a few of them are form iran.
I heard that they are checking them going through the Canadian border today.
That’s why I don’ like muslims coming here.
One day they will cause trouble and expense.
Rather than “image”, you can use actual facts you know 🙂 Here is one example data-set with references. 379,938 Iranian born migrants in the US as of 2017. For the Middle East as a whole? 1,829,494 or 4.1% of migrants overall and that includes Israel, etc.

Who Should Be on Trial March 15, 2020?
Posted on 05-01-2020 by Guest
An opinion piece by Ben Hope
The Christchurch mosque shootings were two consecutive terrorist attacks at mosques in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand, during Friday Prayer on 15 March 2019.The attacks began at the Al Noor Mosque in the suburb of Riccarton at 1:40 p.m. and continued at Linwood Islamic Centre at about 1:55 p.m.The gunman live-streamed the first attack on Facebook.The attacks killed 51 people[and injured 49. Brenton Tarrant, a 28-year-old man from Grafton, New South Wales, Australia, described in media reports as a white supremacist and part of the alt-right, was arrested and initially charged with one murder. Tarrant was later charged with 51 murders, 40 attempted murders, and engaging in a terrorist act. He pleaded not guilty to all charges, with the trial expected to start on 2 June 2020.
Tarrant is alleged to be guilty.
Were any others involved?
Well, yes – there were – the New Zealand Police.
To examine the police involvement, the question arises how did an Australian Brenton Tarrant come to get a firearms licence?
Former MP Richard Prosser had this to say in an opinion piece published December 2019 on Elocal magazine site.
https://www.elocal.co.nz/Articles/by/Richard-Prosser
Richard Prosser is a former NZ First politician, who served as a Member of Parliament from 2011 to 2017 but was inexplicably demoted on the party’s list from number 3 to number 15. It was NZ First’s loss and the treatment he received may be one the party will regret come the 2020 election.
Richard Prosser wrote “It was the Police who issued Brenton Tarrant with his firearms licence, who never enquired as it his criminal history in Australia, who only interviewed him online and not in person; and who allowed his two character referees to be a father and son, whom Tarrant himself only knew from an internet chat room.”
“And it was Police who allegedly failed to act in information from one of Tarrant’s former fellow Dunedin Gun Club members, himself ex-New Zealand Army, that Tarrant was a head-case and a ticking time bomb.”
Opinion online is giving the public more and more an insight into the police incompetence that allowed Tarrant to get a New Zealand firearm licence.”
Richard Prosser’s claim was backed up elsewhere. On the website “TrueblueNZ” a writer “Redbaiter” said “Licenced gun owners at the club Tarrant joined were alarmed by his ideas and actions and reported them to the New Zealand Police. Who did nothing.”
The sad aspect is the New Zealand media, from newspapers to radio to television, were guilty of failure to pick up on the incompetence by the Police to identify Tarrant’s lack of suitability to hold a New Zealand firearm licence. Indeed the illiterate media did not pick up March 15 is Shakespeare’s “The Ides of March”. Was it coincidence or did Tarrant deliberately select the date knowing the significance?

Keep them coming Alice. It is intriguing to read the unfolding mystery.
Alice. If you were fortunate enough to see and hear the stuff being reported before the media shutdown, this all fits.
I still get people asking me what happened to the other two people who were arrested. I don’t know.
Many people overseas have kept the actual footage and news reports.
They say it looks to be very well planned… too well planned.
The NZ cops never take responsibility for their actions.
NEVER. Never. Never.
They have blood on their hands in this case with Brenton Tarrant.
Say his name.
Tarrant.
Australian citizen.
Foreign National.
No ties in NZ but allowed a gun licence.
Now the NZ citizens have to pay the price.
What a pack of corrupt arseholes.
No-one in the crooked cops had to take responsibility for the crime of planting a cartridge case in order to convict A.A. Thomas in the Crewe double murder.
They use completely dodgy jailhouse snitches who are soon enough found out. No rework of the cop lies.
The story they made up for the first trial for Lundy- if an 8 year old kid made up something so preposterous they would be sent to their room for lying- the Cindy disease!
The history of NZ police is they are NOT here to protect NZ citizens.
The Brenton Tarrant case is yet another example.
After the White Island cop fiasco it is out in the open how incompetent they are and this can be extrapolated back to their behaviour at Pike river which is why they are so controlling of it.
Beware Stasi at the door.
Not your friend.

I see the BBC says there are huge crowds at Soleimans funeral
Its almost like the bastards are glorifying him.
F the BBC and all the other western media.
The Iranians are very clever he has three or 4 funeral parades for maximum exposure.

YES
Esp when you look at the complete dickhead they replaced him with:
Malcolm Turncoat.
Turncoat was the best leader the Australian Labor party never had!
Ed are you going to or have you set up a facebook page for ysb? I was just sent a very strongly worded clip of an Aussie bloke pissed off with the Greens, it would be so easy to forward that stuff to a dedicated facebook page that you could then access?
I tried but they will not let me for ysb or maga.
Haven’t had a reply as to why, so I guess they don’t like us taking the piss out of their favourite PTPM.
Maybe under another name, I would have been surprised if you hadn’t thought of it. Shame.
tried that to. Its the isp number that gets sent to them and they know its me.
…When Sun Tzu wrote (paraphrasing) “know yourself, know your enemy, and you shall win a hundred battles without loss,” he preambled it by putting that it was widely said that… etc etc.
In other words, Sun Tzu didn’t invent, by any means, that proverb. It was in wide, popular use in military circles of the day. (Largely thanks to Sun Tzu himself, it is still widely quoted today.)..
Facebook is not your friend. Regard as a foe and you will not be disappointed.
Wow its getting bad.
Where is Kea when we need him?
Ive just got a few words to say
Fuck Google
Fuck Facebook
and
Fuck the MSM
Shouldn’t have to be subversive about it, it is not as if they can’t censor the content if it triggers them.
Mind you as log as it is bi partisan, but me thinks not?
