  1. RNZ has excelled themselves in trying to uncover Winston Peters honesty over donations to the NZ First Foundation with totals of 1cent less to $15,000 allowed by donors that do not want the public to know. Some interesting reading and Winston will be hoping it does not hurt him with the very rich donors that support him.
    https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/408785/wealthy-and-powerful-nz-first-foundation-donors-revealed
    Is this trading policy for funds, or is it these donors just think Winston is the person to lead NZ.

    • It looks like the Herald have joined the hunt to oust Winston Peters with Headlines the Rich and Powerful names of those that are helping fund the Mysterious Foundation bankrolling the NZ First Party.
      https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12305743
      Winston will be spewing that this has been released the day after Simon Bridges announced their would no talks with NZ First or Winston Peters in Negotiations at the 2020 General Election.

      • In the article the Herald twice said something like “RNZ is not suggesting the Van Den Brinks broke any laws or that they were motivated by a desire to keep their donations secret.” Once about the Van Den Brinks and once for Hart. So they are wisely covering their arses against the possibility of being inundated and virtually closed down under a flood of lawsuits by people with ginormous amounts of money at their disposal.

        Which leaves the question: why would a group of squillionaires want to continuously bankroll a man who pretends to have a political party but obviously has no actual firm policies except to disrupt New Zealand politics and society as much as possible?

        Has this cockroach got something on these people? Is he blackmailing them, or is he simply doing their bidding whenever one of them gives him instructions? It’s unlikely that he would have dirt on all of them and if he did, then surely he would have had an unfortunate ‘accident’ by now, so it’s more likely that the latter is the case.

        As a hypothetical example, if one of the cockroach’s controllers wants to buy a company that makes widgets, then the share price of that company can easily be temporarily driven down by the cockroach saying something like “widget production is not sustainable in New Zealand and we will certainly be looking into further regulating this industry in due course”. All very vague and nothing ever is done, but in the next week or so the share price slips by 9% and someone using multiple hidden identities buys up large and the stock price magically recovers and even gains slightly.

        This is hypothetical, of course, and I’m not in any way suggesting that the cockroach or any of his donors over the past 20 years have ever acted in any way that is other than totally honest and for the benefit of New Zealand. Far from it.

    • Notice the length of the article and the passive title. If this had been about National the headline would have been:

      “National Party in dodgy donation scandal” or
      “National Party trading money for votes”

      And the article would have been three paragraphs, tops. Just so the Labour target demographic could and would read it. Instead, it’s a few pages of figures and dates that would slow down even an afficionado of politics. Looking unbiased while remaining very much so.

      • I don’t care what Party it is if they break the law and it can be proved they should all equally have procedure ruled against them, but I agree with your comment about the media Pascal they are politically corrupt and go to far. It is like Labour slave gate and Matt McCarten’s secret donor I wrote to the powers that be on the subject and most people would know of the rumour that had it that Jackson was involved hence Andrew Little doing the deal to convince him to stand for Labour instead of the Maori Party. And all the Electoral Commission did was slap them wit a wet bus ticket.

    • Why is this investigation into the funding of NZ First not being done by the SFO? There are serious questions of, I suspect, of fraud. Do the Electoral Commission have the legal teeth to deal with the wayward NZ First party and their dodgy dealings?

  2. PM vows Dame Whina’s Legacy will be taught in Schools. I though we had a problem in our schools with the failure of students to pass other subjects in our system like for instance math a subject’s used to excel at and now there chucking in climate change and Dame Whina’s Coopers Legacy to further our subjects that students should master before entering the workplace.
    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12305682
    Jacinda Ardern should take lessons from herself as her slang use of words is not something that our students should adopt.

  3. This is most likely being looked at and being lined up in a NZ version of legislation.

    ….. suggested news media in Canada should be regulated, requiring news outlets in Canada to be licenced. …..
    ….. “We would ask that they have a licence, yes,”……

    That is the proposal

    Attempting to curtail freedom of speech and access to information under the veil of “regulation and licensing” is undemocratic and offends Canadian constitutional values. This is lipstick on the pig of censorship.
    https://twitter.com/JKuredjian
    Just scroll down to that first video.

    That would include every website, so would Ed be signing up? 🙁
    There could be a handful of dosh there as dished out to the big boys? 🙂

    …. panel of broadcast experts tabled a list of 97 proposals—a report called the “Canada’s Communications Future: Time To Act”…..
    …… Trudeau government has already picked favourites in the Canadian news sector by offering a $600 million bailout to the industry, which allowed eight special interest groups tied to the legacy media to decided which companies would be eligible for the taxpayer money. ….
    …… proposals also includes having the CBC—notoriously known for not crediting other journalists’ work and for pushing Trudeau government propaganda—monitor and police other news outlets’ content.

    https://www.thepostmillennial.com/trudeau-government-looking-to-force-news-outlets-to-get-government-licences/

    .
    It will only be the small independents that will say no, but too easily rolled by the majority.
    I figure Ezra Levant of Rebel News will be opposed, but he is already being pressured by Trudeau’s Commissioner hench men. He is already planning on taking his issues as far as a seance of judges

    A wet dream for CoL in observing this. A 2nd term and they will do this and probably go even further than Canada.

      • The last 2.5 years with NZ media filth the result is the same.
        This might just formalise an existing ‘arrangement’

        Getting all your ‘news’ handed to you with the correct words and slant is like a franchise arrangement so they should in all fairness pay a franchise fee.

        As it is the money flows the other way.
        There are some small bailouts (funding 8 or so regional churnalists last year ) and remember NZ On Air is funding $130,000,000 pa last I looked.
        TV3 are subsidised and would have been long gone without their 20 mill a year (2017 numbers) for Guy Williams crap and so on.

        Remember in 2013 TV3 /Mediajerks went into receivership .
        This in part was to avoid paying a tax bill of $22,000,000 of money which in part they had collected off employees but not paid over to the IRD.
        They have no moral high ground whatsoever.
        Not a sausage.

        Roll up, roll up!
        Buy your churnalism franchise from Labour now.
        A wee ‘gift’ to honest Phail Twyford will move you up the queue.
        Don’t wait, it might be too late.

        The bias has been terrible for years.
        Giving a free pass to Ardern on all madders while no dissection of the filth and scum – like Tom Scott – that write disgusting rapey garbage

        “That’s why I’m going to kill the Prime Minister. I’m going to kill the Prime Minister, because we are down and suffering and the motherfucker ain’t doing nothing. Going to kill the Prime Minister.
        One of these days I’m going to fuck your daughter. This poor boy going to make his seed, going to wake up in your girl – well hello Miss Key.”

        Tom Scott should have been persona non grata after this vile verbage.
        Tom Scott is a Friend of Ardern.

        The media filth bias is well entrenched.
        They have made their bed.
        There is no need to legislate to make them crooked.
        Thy are there already.
        They are the enemy of decent people.

    • Further wet dreams for the CoL to use as a template and to protect their fragile positions.

      What’s happening in Virginia is a cautionary tale and political road map for what will soon happen in the rest of the country.

      ~ First, they took over the legislature by redrawing districts and dumping in millions of dollars from out of state. [China, corporations]
      ~ Then they began changing the rules so they can’t be recalled.
      ~ Then they began imposing draconian gun control measures.
      ~ Then they set about to make criticism of them illegal.

      Could it be any more clear that every step of this was planned ahead of time?
      https://www.blacklistednews.com/article/76140/are-virginia-politicians-really-so-fragile-and-delicate-theyd-pass-a-bill-making-it-illegal-to.html

      Not even to use a foul word to any of them, and then changes the language of “he shall be guilty” to “he is guilty” of a Class 1 misdemeanor
      Probably an arrest, fines etc.. and to oppose will be a costly lawfare seance with the judiciary.

  5. While looking for election news (the Irish election this time) I came across this; This lady doesn’t mince her words and I would vote for her if I was Irish!

    “Multiculturalism has been a disaster for Ireland as it has been for all of the EU. Nothing we do will solve the problems of Africa or its people. They are being used as pawns in the UN replacement game. It’s time to end this insanity for once and for all.”

      • I was talking to a friend who is a Kindergarten Teacher the other day.
        She was telling me that ‘A is for Activist’ is part of the recommended reading for many NZ Kindergartens now.
        She is probably a bit of a Lefty but even she isn’t comfortable with it.

        *’A is for Activist’ is a controversial book for Preschoolers that promotes Marxism and violent uprising etc

    • And to think that soon any criticism of a certain religion will be classified as a ‘Hate Crime’!
      But the ‘Religion’ of Leftism/Socialism is equally as dangerous.
      Talk to any Labour Party member- Any criticism of Jacinda whatsoever is considered a ‘Hate Crime’ in their bizarre world.
      Some of them honestly believe she is the Messiah…And as such any criticism is blasphemy

Peter Williams thinks we should change our name to the Maori which is not actually Aoteeeeeeearoa. He said this morning we should be a Maori name. WHY?

  8. How come the Chinese knew to start building this hospital in 10 days before the rest of the world caught up with the fact of this virus spreading like wild fire. We were kept in the dark for economic reasons.

    Coronavirus: First patients arrive at China’s rapidly built hospital
    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/world/2020/02/coronavirus-first-patients-arrive-at-china-s-rapidly-built-hospital.html

    Authorities have cut most road, rail and air access to Wuhan and surrounding cities, isolating some 50 million people, in efforts to contain the viral outbreak that has sickened more than 17,000 and killed more than 360 people.

    The Huoshenshan Hospital was built by a 7,000-member crew of carpenters, plumbers, electricians and other specialists, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Photos in state media showed workers in winter clothing, safety helmets and the surgical-style masks worn by millions of Chinese in an attempt to avoid contracting the virus.

    About half of the two-story, 60,000-square-metre building is isolation wards, according to the government newspaper Yangtze Daily. It has 30 intensive care units.

  9. ‘A dog’s breakfast’: Former Treaty Settlement Minister Chris Finlayson slams Ihumātao process
    https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/02/a-dog-s-breakfast-former-treaty-settlement-minister-chris-finlayson-slams-ihum-tao-process.html

    It has been reported – though it remains unconfirmed – that the Government will buy the land back for $45 million, $19 million more than Fletcher Building originally paid for the land.

    Finlayson says private property should be off limits for Treaty settlements – “it has to be”, he said.

    “I think the smarter thing would have been to have got them off the land and then said to people – well if you want to go deal with Fletcher and do a private deal good on you.”

    He called the situation “a dog’s breakfast”

    The site is believed to be one of the country’s earliest settlements, but Finlayson said Ihumātao was not unique in being privately held land of historical importance.

    “From my knowledge of Treaty settlements, as nine years as minister, there are plenty of parcels of land around the country that are in private hands that are historically significant. So what’s to stop a settle iwi actually approaching people and trying to do a deal?

    “But to occupy, that’s not the way we do things here.”

  11. Tanirau Whaanga was still serving a sentence of intensive supervision for an earlier attack…

    Lower Hutt man killed with a headbutt over a supermarket parking space
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/119199385/guilty-plea-to-headbutt-manslaughter-over-hutt-valley-supermarket-car-parking-space

    The other driver was 55, and he had his mum – and her wheelchair – in the car. He’d taken the day off work to help her get to several appointments.

    The cameras caught Tanirau Whaanga pointing at the car, and the victim pointing at the disabled parks and his own car where his elderly mother was waiting.

    The victim stepped back as Tanirau Whaanga moved in on him and they spoke briefly before Tanirau Whaanga changed his stance, held out his arms and headbutted the man fully in the head.

    At the time he headbutted the victim he was still serving a sentence of intensive supervision for an earlier attack in which he had stomped on the neck of a man laid out unconscious by a relative. The prone man’s neck bore the pattern from the sole of Tanirau Whaanga’s shoe.

    Then too Tanirau Whaanga walked away, leaving his victim helpless.

  12. Creator Of US BioWeapons Act Says Coronavirus Is Biological Warfare Weapon

    In an explosive interview Dr. Francis Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Act has given a detailed statement admitting that the 2019 Wuhan Coronavirus is an offensive Biological Warfare Weapon and that the World Health Organization (WHO) already knows about it.
    Francis Boyle is a professor of international law at the University of Illinois College of Law. He drafted the U.S. domestic implementing legislation for the Biological Weapons Convention, known as the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989, that was approved unanimously by both Houses of the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President George H.W. Bush.

    • ” . . .a biowarfare weapons agent genetically modified with gain of function properties”
      I can only imagine what ‘gain of function properties’ are, but they don’t sound like something you’d want in a virus.
      I don’t know if there’s any truth is this, but have always thought that China’s response has been a huge over-reaction if this is another SARS or Swine Flu. What lead them to lock-down entire cities?

      Anyway while Princess is swanning round ‘governing’ in sunny Northland with her daughter, she and Winnie may want to spare a thought for the impact this is beginning to have on our trade and industries.

    • Affected international trade and local business

    • I too have been ringing the bell over the “flu” being a form of germ warfare. What we’re up against is that there’s no reputable body in the world with the guts to absolutely confirm or deny.

      The one organisation we should be able to trust is the WHO but as they’re part of the demonstrably corrupt UN there’s no hope in that direction. Then we have a fuckwitted globalist for a Prime Minister who will wave her daughter at the problem in the hope that it will go away.

  18. Big jail terms for country’s largest ever cocaine haul
    Benn Bathgate19:28, Feb 04 2020
    Four members of an international drugs syndicate that attempted to smuggle $20m worth of cocaine into New Zealand have been sentenced to prison terms ranging from 27 to 14 years.

    ​The men, a Serbian, a Croat and two Australians, were sentenced at the High Court in Rotorua on Tuesday for the audacious plot that involved submersible scooters, gym bags stuffed with cash and the use of container ships as unwitting drug mules.

    It remains the biggest seizure of cocaine in New Zealand history and, it was revealed in court, was the syndicate’s third importation into the country.

  21. I see the wizzled ugly nome of little name and fame is now in the prediction business.

    Health Minister expects ‘significant number’ of Covid cases linked to protest
    A large cluster of Covid-19 cases at the anti-mandate occupation is likely, given the close quarters protesters are in and the lack of masks, Health Minister Andrew Little says.

    The protest, now on day 18, was named a location of interest on Thursday.

    “We just have to expect there is going to be quite a significant number there,” Little said.

    “I expect there will be a lot of people there who do get symptoms but won’t get tested because they don’t want to concede to the existence of Covid, but there will be some, particularly some of the older folks there who could get quite unwell.”

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/127879289/occupation-day-18-health-minister-expects-significant-number-of-covid-cases-linked-to-protest

    That is after the Health dept said this morning there were no cases involving the protest site and that was after the police and others spreading a rumor there was.

    Christ they are a disorganized bunch of liars the thieves.
    Imagine how much they all lie to one another.

  22. Cindy is going to be really pissed and so is her cousisns.

    Police and Defence Force personnel have won a case against the Covid-19 vaccination mandate on religious grounds and the right to refuse medical treatment.

    It is the first time a High Court judge has granted an application to set aside the vaccine mandate – and he has made it clear it’s for police and defence force personnel only.

    The mandate required all Defence Force personnel and all police constables, recruits and authorised officers to receive two doses of the vaccine by 1 March 2022.

    The group of police and defence force personnel had asked Justice Francis Cooke​ to judicially review the mandate, have it declared invalid and set aside.
