I hope this link works as IMHO it is too important not to be shared, especially in light of NZ’s current situation and the international activities and associates of ‘Dear Leader’!
Although it dates from 2014, nothing has changed and in light of what is happening internationally, the process is still moving forwards. .
Please share as you see fit.
Thank you.

The down tick is for the video content.
Holding to the truth. when what was cut out, and then edited to create fear.
when with the full context of that above video.
https://youtu.be/Ft4qHn-cRfo
Lets gather the facts, not the fakes. 🙂
Though truth may be slow, it is with truth they will be defeated.
” ……… speech “men and woman are to small minded to govern..” out of context”
4 minutes 41 seconds.
The real truth is all shown by 2 min 40 secs.
It is more likely how he may misuse the truth, but that video is another real fake.
The day of reckoning is closing in on that “swamp” figure and his real misdeeds are in truth being revealed. 🙂
In view of the above, this is also very relevant.
Thank you.

Good luck Leo.
‘It’s not a party’ – Auckland bar owner lashes out at criticism over controversial ‘100-person party’
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/its-not-party-auckland-bar-owner-lashes-criticism-over-controversial-100-person
HeadQuarters Bar owner Leo Molloy says his business isn’t just a bar but a restaurant, allowed to open under the Alert Level 2 rules.
“We’re entitled to be opened… I’ve done nothing wrong,” he told 1 NEWS.
Outlined earlier this week, the rules allow for up to 100 people to gather in a single location, but individual groups must consist of no more than 10 people.
“There is no party. It’s dinner, it’s seated, it’s dinner, it’s a restaurant.”
Around 85 people have been invited to the 150-seat restaurant, including Destiny Church’s Brian and Hannah Tamaki and National deputy leader Paula Bennett.
In a fiery interview with 1 NEWS, Mr Molloy also lashed out at Ms Ardern for “changing the rules”.
Previous Level 2 guidance allowed for 100 people to gather indoors and 500 outdoors, without the new 10-person limits.
Mr Molloy said the rule forbidding multiple groups of 10 is “bulls***”.
“We’re allowed 100 inside the building, she’s changing the rules every five minutes. We did what we did.”
Mr Molloy is confident everything will go smoothly this weekend, saying he’s “abso-total-lutely” sure his event sticks to the rules.
Restaurants and bars that do break the Level 2 restrictions risk getting shut down, Ms Ardern says.
I hope they end up two thousand people queueing to get in. They deserve that level of support.
The Stasi will make his life very difficult, but I get the impression Molloy will see that through.
Budget day. I don’t think I can watch all that syrupy sweet self-congratulation and lies from Robbo. There will be a long list of spend, spend, spend in all the wrong areas with Robbo oozing pride and puffery so I’ll just wait for the summary afterwards.
Tony Alexander talks to Paul Henry
Jobs should ‘definitely’ be focus for Budget – economist
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/money/2020/05/jobs-should-definitely-be-focus-for-budget-economist.html
How many will be watching Robbo possibly the next labour leader deliver the speech?
Me, I’m not! Wonde what viewing numbers will be?
Its all very strange and frightening. Thank you for sharing. One never knows who to believe these days. I am finding it harder and harder to keep a grip on what is said and who is making shit up.
Just take one day at a time Lizziep. 🙃
you say
‘Its all very strange and frightening’
Fear is the key
The intention is to make you afraid and uncertain.
This makes you more compliant.
ArDoom is employing the basic tactic of confusion to go with the plethora of lies.
One and the same, really.
She announces levels 1,2,3,4.
We get a poster in the letter box of what these are 7 weeks ago
Then she just makes it up as she goes along and decides that she will ‘#bekind and tell you when you can move to a bedda level, but may have to go backwards to a tighter level… at her whim
It is all about Kontrol.
Fear is the key.
The more afraid you are…. the easier to Kontrol.
She has studied the East German model (or her Kontrollers are using that same playbook)
There were a lot of the Na zis who did not escape to South America who moved to East Germany – ‘German Democratic Republic’
Same ol’ same o’
Na zi or Commie – it is all just branding of totalitarianism.
Merkle’s father willingly moved from West to East Germany after the division of States.
Think about that.
When will the sheep that follow Jacinda Ardern wake up to the fact that healing praise and thanking the Prime Minister for listening is just giving her a olive branch to break more rules and hurt more people.
While I have sympathy for those that have lost loved ones she only changed the rules as it was inflicting damage on herself and the Labour Party from the constant barrage from the opposition about their cruelty.
COVID-19: Government thanked for listening as public outrage prompts Funeral rule change.
The policy change will impact Kiwis like Stacey whose family has faced unfathomable loss under the lockdown, both her husband’s parents died within days of each other then last weekend her Grandmother passed away also.
The family just want to say goodbye Stacey told Newshub it will mean such a lot.
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/05/covid-19-government-thanked-for-listening-as-public-outrage-prompts-funeral-rule-change.html
My condolences go out to Stacey and her family but this is about a Government that makes rules to suit themselves when thanking them the keep doing the same they only care about themselves.
Does anyone remember when we got locked up to flatten the curve to save the health system from being overwhelmed with demand.
Flatten the curve.
That was a few livelihoods ago.

Andrew Little says police facial recognition software trial ‘a matter of concern’
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/05/andrew-little-says-police-facial-recognition-software-trial-a-matter-of-concern.html
“I don’t know how it came to be that a person thought that this was a good idea,” Little said.
“It clearly wasn’t endorsed, from the senior police hierarchy, and it clearly didn’t get the endorsement from the [Police] Minister nor indeed from the wider cabinet … that is a matter of concern.”
Clearview has sparked controversy for its opaque structure and its database of images ripped from social media sites – a violation of their terms of service. It claims to have been used to solve crimes from mailbox thefts to child sexual abuse, but has not been independently reviewed.
Little said he had received assurances from police that any further exploration of technology like Clearview would have “proper ministerial or cabinet approval”.
He said he did not know what the trial was used for.
Police did not respond to any of RNZ’s questions today on its relationship with Clearview.
Is anyone surprised that the NZ Police would attempt this sort of thing? Their recent track record on “application” of the rule of law has been questionable in the extreme. Their refusal to answer questions when caught out is suspicious in the extreme and Minister Nash should for once be rattling a few cages at Police HQ.
If there is no rattling of the cage, it means he knew of the trial!
Not surprised that Police HQ would venture out with such considerations as facial recognition. They have form in overstepping as was demonstrated with amendments to the Arms Act promoted vigorously post the Christchurch event in 2019. I doubt the present Minister has much clue or perhaps he is yet to demonstrate his capacity to handle a department. He failed to do so with the Arms Act amendments.
I may be wrong. Perhaps he did support the disarming and confiscation shambles yet overlooked the facial recognition trial as a matter we may be interested in.
Mr Little, being the ‘good’ gutter politician that he is will have been very aware about what was going on and is only commenting because he got ‘caught out’ and there is an election on the horizon.
Yee of ‘little’ brain and integrity. His Mother didnt even vote for him. How bad is that. I despise him.
Angry doesn’t like facial recognition photos as too many of his voters will get caught! Then they have to vote in jail!
See it’s all a cunning plan, by a weasel!
You now have a legitimate reason to wear face mask all the time in public – or a bandana.
They are going to love them in the bank!
Retirement age needs to rise in wake of Covid-19 crisis – economist
Hard decisions will need to be made to grapple with the economic fallout of Covid-19, with one of those being a raise to the retirement age, says economist Cameron Bagrie.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/retirement-age-needs-rise-in-wake-covid-19-crisis-economist?auto=6152407460001
“I want to see signs it will be a pragmatic economic plan as opposed to and ideology driven one.”
He says it will take an “incredibly long time” to get back to levels that we saw before Covid-19.
It seems like New Zealand has two economists. Cameron Bagrie and Shamubeel Eaqub. Do they check other opinions or just these two?
Eaqub’s. steering wheel is jammed on hard left these days .
Pascal@0821
No, only those who repeat the stated narrative. The CoL and media will have it no-other way.
“He says it will take an “incredibly long time” to get back to levels that we saw before Covid-19.”
The economy was already tanking at this time. All The Chinese virus has done is give the socialists an excuse to wreck the economy even more. The rebuild will be left until they have shaped the country in their image.
Aha! So it IS a socialist virus! Programmed by the CCP and set loose into the world!
The virus comes along and infects a nation, and turns it into a socialist regime.
Those CCP officials were geniuses!

W G, There will be little change in this budget if ,
you dont live in your own house,
You dont have an investment house,
you own a 25 year old car,
you never pay your bills on time,
you are always visiting social welfare offices,
your kids are being fed at school by the government,
you haven’t had a job for at least 10 years,
your rent is paid by the government,
ETC,ETC,ETC,
In fact I will bet good money these people will be far better off after today’s budget …
Reward poor behavior and you shall have more of it.
you say
Reward poor behavior
Of course they do
A foreign eco fascist comes to NZ and shoots people.
He gets rewarded with guns removed from the population.
The attempt to empty the prisons rewards crime.
Liebour are Pro-crime.
I have never seen it before in politics but it is on display for all to see.
You’d think that Day 1 of retail would have seen customers welcomed like Kings and Queens.
I ventured into the local bookshop/NZ Post outlet today, having requested entrance from the clipboard warrior who recorded my details two letters at a time, muddling most of them and failing to recognise that Jack Ardern 04 8305000 might be a piss take, before giving me a specially sterilised pen to sign the form.
I executed a small purchase once I had gained the attention of a staff member who saw no advantage in interrupting his conversation with his colleague while I paid for my purchase.
I will continue to source reading material on line and the local store can get f’d.
Its the greatest metamorphosis in human history,a tiny microscopic virus turns a once free and happy land into a communist police state in 7 short weeks.
Plod can now kick your door in for any reason they can think of as long as they say its for “social distancing”, It’s extremely important that this disgraceful Coalition are shown the door in 4 months or us NZrs will be booking our holidays in Venezuela to have a few weeks of freedom.
Could anybody even awake from a nightmare 7 weeks ago and think we’d have come to this in less time than that 120 filthy cowardly politicians have for their Xmas break.?
119.
Pascal ,I find 120 slides off the tongue so much better than 119, and to be fair I’d rather sit on my couch with pliers and pull my finger nails off than count the C—Ts,
I’LL leave that job to you.
Paul Weston explains why the daily CCP virus death figures (in the UK) are an outright lie:

My initial reaction is you guys had your time and you didn’t do it then so don’t come back and interfere now.
Key and Clark unite to call for Auckland port move as post-COVID-19 project
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/05/key-and-clark-unite-to-call-for-auckland-port-move-as-post-covid-19-project.html
The former Prime Ministers and leadership rivals both agree that it would be “awesome” to free up the waterfront – and the multi-billion project required to move it would be good for New Zealand’s economy as it looks to recover.
Clark said: “I’m one who favours the port being shifted. This is probably the most valuable land in New Zealand. Post-COVID-19, I’m very happy to be seeing proposals like shifting to Marsden Point seriously looked at.”
Key said: “I support moving the port. The world is changing because of COVID-19 and because of our changing demands. Why wouldn’t we use this? Out of adversity comes opportunity.”
W G ,Cant you just imagine the two of them looking deeply into each other’s eyes ? OMG its a great Idea for a Mills and Boone romance book.
Don’t forget Key endorsed Clarkullas run for the UN job that she missed out on because she was so chronically under qualified , I got an idea for both of them JUST F- – -K OFF WILL YOU ?
It’s amazing how these political dinosaurs are using Coronavirus to Reimagine our entire country and system, if Key wasn’t such a Beta boy we wouldn’t have Ardern ruining our country.
JK was being very canny when he sent the klarkula to NY. Out of sight out of mind. If she had stayed in Nil Zilland she would have been a thorn in Keys side. Initially, I couldnt believe that he endorsed it but after discussing with others at the time I then understood why Key did what he did.
Helen Clark, John Key, Peter Dunne, Michael Cullen, Wayne Mapp,
STFU, you had your turn. We are not interested in your opinion, as that’s all it is!
sooty ,exactly,just F—K off all of them.
I really don’t see the point of moving the port.
To free up Auckland’s pretty coastal views by f#$&ing up someone else’s is just bats.
While we’re at it, Tauranga could do without their blot on the landscape so let’s shift their port along the coast a bit. Same in Wellington …
What in the hell is Helen Clark wearing in that pic?
That’s got to be worse than Jacinda’s puke dress…
Who dresses these Socialist looneys?
Themselves!
She couldn’t look more like something from the dark side of Star Wars if she tried.
Just needs a touch of red eyeliner and glow-in-the-dark contact lenses?
Waikato@0840
The ‘Globalists’ revealed…
So much for ‘Opposing ideologies’.
In restrospect this explains a lot of J Key’s actions.
The word ‘Quisling’ did come to mind.
You have not just worked that out?.
I had that worked out by March 2008.
Key was a seat warmer for eight years.
Obama and Key.
Both born Aug 1961
Grew up without a daddy on site.
Not in politics at all in early years
did a degree in the most common University subject Law/Accounting
Not even on the political landscape on 31 12 1999
In November 2008 became leader of their country
End of 2016 stepped down.
Two peas from the same pod.
Run a ruler over R Nixon compared to R Muldoon.
Macron is another.
It is by design.
Mentioned in the comments on Moraymint’s post is this which is also very interesting and applies very much to the UK and NZ too I suspect:
“Failure in risk assessment led to a global false alarm.
A high-ranking whistleblower in the German Federal Ministry of the Interior warns of wrong risk assessments and massive collateral damage. And crushingly, «the state has proven to be one of the largest fake news producers in the corona crisis.”
English translation of the article here:
https://midtifleisen.wordpress.com/2020/05/13/covid-whistleblower-failure-in-risk-assessment-led-to-a-global-false-alarm/
Original German article here:
https://www.rubikon.news/artikel/corona-gate-im-anflug
“Failure in risk assessment led to a global false alarm.”
When a novel pandemic shows up, the State will invariably select the computer model that gives the bleakest outcome. The State does this for two reasons: a. They don’t want to be held responsible for direct deaths (we’ll forget about the indirect deaths that invariably come later); and b. The opportunity to trial new ways of social control is too good to resist.
I read somewhere that domestic flights will only have half their seats filled, for “social distancing” but is this effective, given the air-conditioning air-circulating system that aircraft use? Wouldn’t wearing masks while sitting next to each other be more effective?
Or are the airlines forced to do so simply by the government’s “social distancing” rules (even though these may not actually work)?
The process begins with compressed air that is ducted off of the aircraft engine compressors. This extremely hot compressed air is now called “bleed air”. It is taken from 2 different sections of the compressor, both the low pressure and high pressure compressors.
Basically, aircraft use bleed air to circulate within the cabin, high pressure and low pressure engine bleed valves automatically modulate to maintain the required bleed air demand. So you are always getting fresh air via the system which has been warmed thru the engine warming system then filtered into cabin and out again.
One less worry in life now that that has been brilliantly explained! Thanks Mike. Apparently all the centre seats on AirNZ planes are currently being kept empty.
To protect the fat arsed trolley dolly!
It’s not about science though is it. It’s about fear.
And we have to have constant reminders in every way, every day that even though this whole panic has been basically caused by a disease that has mortality rates similar to what society has previously survived EVERY SINGLE YEAR with the normal flu season – that even though it’s not different. Really it is. That is why there is the narrative about “The NEW NORMAL”. Because, it just plain isn’t normal – it’s important if you are destroying freedom and you want to start exterminating vast tracts of humanity – but it isn’t normal.
If we are kept in a perpetual state of fear, then it WILL SEEM NORMAL, when frightening things happen like mass die off of humanity. The great cull, will seem that our overlords were right to keep us shackled in fear.
We voted for this. The Globalist NWO is using NZ as a test bed for their great population control plan. We’ve always been a test bed site for these sorts of things, although in the past we’ve benefitted from it (EFTPOS etc) – now we’re going to be a test tube to see how a small controlled population will tolerate rapid and excessive oppression (why else did the guns need to be removed, why else is censorship increasing so rampantly here, why is our lockdown heavier and more drawn out than just about anywhere else in the world given the fact that CCP virus is (statistically speaking) absent from our society?).
New Zealand society is being stress-tested for tolerance to oppression. And this is not a non-destructive testing regime. You only find the breaking point by ramping up the pressure until the test subject shatters. The new lockdown legislation is what the next level of oppression looks like. After the Gestapo phase we are about to enter now, we can expect economic collapse, followed by electoral irregularity (maybe postal voting – easier to commit fraud) after that who knows? Maybe public show trials for those that try to resist.
We are living in the ruins of the once great Western civilisation.
First they came for the butchers, but I was silent because I was not a butcher.
Then they came for the YSB commenters, but I was silent because I was not a YSB commenter.
Now they’ve come for me and because I was silent there is no one to stand-up for me!
Apologies to Martin Niemöller.
Kiwiblog exploring paid content
I haven’t formed an opinion on this yet, but DPF is exploring introducing “Paid Content” the same way as WOBH and BFD went.
I mean at present, it’s his blog, his opinions, he’s just hanging what he thinks out there in space (and sure advertising isn’t much revenue although $16k/year passive income (ie he was going to be doing it anyway) isn’t anything to sniff at). But does all that change if you start charging for the the “Public Square” function? Do the people paying for the content get different rights? Do they get to not have their comments moderated? Do they get some share coming back to them (no blog is worth anything if there are no commenters and readers!).
Interesting development though.
Maybe it’s the beginning of the end of Kiwiblog (as we know it).
Could it become more of an echo-chamber or more like a members’ think-tank?
But then the present KB is no where near the old one!
I dangled a carrot in front of him, offering to pay $100/month…
Farrar sold out long ago. Paid content is nothing new.
Like all the anti Trump stuff?
Biden on list of inner circle who illegally listened in to General Flynn’s conversation without a warrant. Caught red handed. Now Biden is running against Trump, the political opponent the Obama administration tried to take down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_sL807qrCA
Rand Paul calls for investigations into handling of Michael Flynn case
The lockdown has achieved its goal of destroying the capitalist economy and freedom.
Now the budget will ensure it stays that way. Expect to see:
1. Election bribes to alt left minority groups.
2. Billions to alt left faux green fantasies.
3. Punative measures against anyone rising above their station and making money – unless they are alt left Party supporters.
Be careful what you say there Kea. Remember last year how the security services and police were sicced on National when they made public the budget (that was already freely publicly available). You’ll be accused of being a Russian hacker before you know it!
What the
lying left-wing apocalyptic doom merchant propagandistsepidemiologist modellers said would happen in Sweden vs RealitySo it seems that the greatest fraud ever perpetrated on humanity (using utterly totally overblown dishonest modelling about CO2’s impacts on Earth’s temperature) was just a dry run for the real mind-fuck – the Great Coronavirus Communist Swindle.
If you want proof, have a look at this image – it shows what the standard range of epidemiological models predicted would happen if Sweden used the approach they did – that’s on the left side. On the right – the reality.
Epidemiology uses deeply flawed statistical methodology – just like climate change “Science” and also opinion polling (remember Trump had NO PATH TO VICTORY according to opinion pollsters). All three of those things have the same things in common:
– they are demonstrably fraudulent and inaccurate to such a degree as to be lies
– they always favour the lunatic left
– they are used to reduce freedoms and oppress society
– they add no value
– they are ubiquitous
If epidemiologists had some skin in the game, I bet they’d start being a bit more accurate with their forecasts. I say, we need laws to be passed that increase the risk/reward profile for the profession. If models are demonstrated to be more than 5% inaccurate – then the epidemiologist should lose a hand, if it’s more than 10% inaccurate then they lose a hand and an eye. If the model is more than 20% inaccurate then summary execution should result. I bet we’d see a lot of the overblown and catastrophic predictions completely disappear with this one simple law. And it’s not nearly as draconian or oppressive as the lockdown laws that are being rushed through Parliament right now.
Pollsters need the same reward system.
So I’m currently reading a biography of Lee Harvey Oswald.
For those that may not know- Before the shooting Oswald was a Marxist who defected to the USSR for some time.
I had to laugh when I read his reason for escaping back to the USA in 1961-
” The work is drab, the money I get has nowhere to be spent. No nightclubs or bowling alleys, no places of recreation except the trade union dances. I have had enough.”
Remind you much of Jacinda’s Socialist Paradise?
The terrifying thing being that Oswald could actually escape the Iron Curtain and we (Jacinda’s subjects) are stuck here behind her wall indefinitely- Unless you happen to be a very,very good swimmer!
Except under Cindy’s regime nightclubs will be banned. Life will be such fun! 😕
America and its allies are getting ready to force the CCP to open up and allow investigation by the WHO and others into the origins of the novel coronavirus, to which the CCP has refused so far.
In the meantime, the CCP are retaliating against the Australian government for Australian’s questioning of CCP actions. The CCP won’t directly attack the US, but will instead beat up on their smaller allies. NZ (being the smallest) is shaking in its (ankle) boots? The CCP will be mindful that its action will put more pressure on NZ to choose a side. Which will it be? The Allies or the CCP Axis?
It’s the 1930s all over again.
New Allies (Japan’s on your team now).
New Baddies.
Shamubeel Eaqub seems fiscally unaware. He has no concept of good economic management.
Coronavirus: Economist expects ‘oodles and oodles of spending’ in Budget 2020
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/05/coronavirus-economist-expects-oodles-and-oodles-of-spending-in-budget-2020.html
Economist Shamubeel Eaqub is expecting a big spend-up in Thursday’s Budget to help stimulate the economy.
“I am expecting oodles and oodles of spending. We are in such a big economic hole, just like all over the world, that we are going to see Government pumping in huge amounts of money in lots of different areas to try and prevent the downturn, [but] also to really try and encourage the recovery, which is probably going to come towards the end of the year.”
No country will escape the downturn, however, Eaqub says, but our Government can try and cushion the blow – something it is able to do due to the rainy-day surplus it had up its sleeve.
“What the Government can do is blunt the downturn and then look after the people who lose jobs and all that kind of stuff, and also invest in the recovery that has to come afterwards,” he said.
This guy is absolutely raving mad -“something it is able to do due to the rainy-day surplus it had up its sleeve-” For a start about 80% of the so called called surplus was due revaluations. You cannot spend a revaluation.
If he thinks the country can afford a spend up, then he must have been in a coma for the last 2 months.
“I am expecting oodles and oodles of spending.”
“People who lose jobs and all that kind of stuff”
Is this guy actually a real Economist??
He sounds more like one of Jacinda’s Socialist Youth mates who she has pulled strings to somehow get on the payroll…
I’m now expecting his reaction to today’s Budget to be ‘Oh it’s Amazeballs!’
I agree CO, I don’t understand why he keeps getting consulted except that the msm must agree with his promotion of lefty zero economic abilities. Talk about consulting an economic crystal ball and reporting back on his own reflection.
More from the “expert” for hire. The guy has no shame –he is clearly just a paid for shrill and does nothing to hide it.

It is a great shame that the death penalty for treason has been commuted to prison time. A shitload of current and former politicians should be behind bars permanently.
Along with their Economic Advisors.
That would be the dart board.
simpleton@0909
Thank you, and a fair- enough comment. However, as a close observer of the American political scene, I stand by my point, especially as Obama is a ‘leftie’ and a fervent advocate of the New World Order. I notice BTW, that the ‘editor’ in the ‘rebuttal’ video cut the video at 2.26 BEFORE Obama delivered a rebuttal of the ‘Alternative vision’, he was describing , an act which I find somewhat unusual, since by NOT quickly-denying (as in ‘I don’rt believe in it myself’), Mr Obama implies tacit support for it, support which has become increasingly-evident as time passes. Thank you.
Komata, Obama and his inner circle are going to feel the result of their treason. The legal noose is tightening. Have a look at my 9.24am video link.
Thanks Komata,
Nor did I ever like Obama.
It is like the Obamas birth certificate, that he danced around, knowing that it wasted the energy and eventually the credibility of those who tried to make an issue of it.
Obama was very adept at building a “straw man’s” debate, to waste time & energy of his opposition.
“the truth will set your free”
Are the police using the facial recognition tech, they have illegally implemented, to target political dissidents?
Will they be paying compensation to victims of their illegal activities?
Will they be paying compensation to victims of their unlawful actions during lockdown?
How many people have been victims of unlawful or illegal police actions since martial law was implemented?
Why are Minto and Hager silent?
They are totalitarian socialists. This is their moment.
NZ has we knew it is gone. Ardern’s second term will see us in ruins.
Your grandkids will still be fixing this mess.
Why are the Greens silent…
arrh, that’s why!

Just saw this on the other blog. Worth a read.

VOTE ACT!
I’m excited about the budget.
The dear leaders vision for Aotearoa will be unveiled for all to see.
I ain’t gonna lie. If you are a white reasonably successful male you are so deeply fucked bro 🥴
You might get to toil on one of the Party work schemes, destroying capitalist constructs like roads, and installing cycle ways and trains with CCTV monitoring.
Police will receive extra funding in return for cracking down on political dissidents.
Filthy sluts will be rolling in money, in return for commercial baby farming.
So it won’t be all bad.
What exactly is at risk here, when people find out about Covid-19 research?

This maybe the way how the new enforcers may be trained. 🙁
“Hands up!” barks a police officer at a man during a demonstration of the tool, which looks like a kind of cattle prod but presumably isn’t electrified (yet).
The dissenter is then entrapped by the mechanism, which closes around his body like some kind of venus fly trap for humans.

Will this one get deported back to NZ ?
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=12331788
A female. She would play the victim (it’s men’s fault) and be released. Just needs to say some bloke touched her up or gave her surprise sex. Released and given a home and benefit.
She’s a charmer. One we could do without but guessing you are right. Afterall, why would the Aussies keep her. 🤦♀️
Not when the option is a deportee money saving one!
Wonder if she has a tint to her!
…..”Wonder if she has a tint to her”…..
From R12’s link:
…..”Kylee Michelle Tiraroa Fay King, 36,”……
I reckon!
With no bailout from the dear leader Stuffed “news” have broken ranks and reported on one the suicides resulting from Ardern’s lockdown. There has been a tsunami of suicides and more to come.
Already the suicides are many times Covid-19 deaths (of morbidly obese old people).
https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/121508678/thousands-raised-for-family-of-auckland-butcher-who-died-after-business-was-liquidated
Agree Kea. Every suicide as as direct or indirect result of this communist lockdown is on that bitch Ardern’s head. Every one.
They are deleting reports of the massive increase in suicides. To protect Ardern.
To protect Ardern from a copycat!
Shoppers phoning in to Sean Plunket complaining about having to give out their personal info under different systems in every shop. They not happy with the privacy issues and a data company guy confirmed the personal info will likely end up being sold to data companies for sales and marketing purposes. Privacy commissioner not happy with privacy breaches. It’s all a tin of badly organised worms by the COL. Who would have thought it would all go SO wrong. 🙄 😂
Didn’t one of the YSBers advise us to sign in as J.Ardern and give 04-830 5010 as our Phone no?
Jack Russell, then the address of the local SPCA!
I got asked for my name today and said Wayne Kerr.
The lovely lady wanted my real name, phone number and email.
I do hope the next contact is from this exchange is for a night on the town and not for a nasal invasion.
I worked with a person whose real name was Wayne Kerr!
What kind of parent would call their son Robert with the surname Sole?
– Crash the economy. [X]
– Pay a UBI (means-tested, of course) to everyone with no assets or no savings
– Scrap the National Superannuation (see UBI above)
– Free education (student loan balances wiped)
– Permanent Alert Level 2 (for health and safety) with police enjoying wipespread powers
– High death duties to prevent families from accumulating inter-generational wealth and thus becoming less dependent on the State
– High surcharges on funds sent out of the country (unless you are the NZ subsidiary of an Australian bank, but we’ll deal with these boys and their mates later)
– Closer economic ties with China (like the way in October 2015, the Chinese-owned Landbridge Group won the bid for a lease of Port Darwin for 99 years)
– Leasing of the port of Auckland to the CCP for a similar deal as Port Darwin)
– Increased immigration from mainland China
– Formation of the Eastern Co-prosperity Party for the above, in coalition with the Labour Party
– Special facilities for people guilty of threatening the health and safety of the nation by asking the wrong questions or saying the wrong things (bolstered by Hate Speech laws)
– Compulsory ID cards
– Personal income over $60,000 taxed at 80% in the dollar
– Compulsory tracking apps on phones
– All Internet access through the State portal only
Will the govt supply the phone or will they also order people too.
1. Buy a Party approved phone?
2. Carry the Party approved phone at all times?
The phone (the “Freedom Phone”) will be a new Huawei thin-card phone. In addition to a hard-wired tracking function, the State will also be able to activate the phone’s camera and microphone remotely at any time.
The phone will have a permanent memory that contains biometric data of the phone’s owner (fingerprints, retina patterns, etc.).
It will be compulsory to carry your Freedom Phone at all times when you leave your home. In conjunction with the phone, all citizens will be required to be chipped. The chip will be very small, but the Freedom Phone will be able to sense it and will know when its owner is at home or in close proximity. The Freedom phone will “know” when it is being carried by someone who is not its chipped-and-registered owner, and will broadcast this fact to the authorities.

I’m not sure if I picked up the link to this video on here or not. It is about the link to the MMR vaccine and autism. It is a must watch. I’m not sure about how the MMR vaccines are given in NZ now –ie. are they given together or as 3 separate shots at different times, the latter seems to be the safe way.
I ‘m one who thought the anti-vaxers were nutters getting carried away with anti science, conspiracy theories but what I have read because of the Covid issue and viewing this video (I’m only half way through it ) I have changed my mind. I’m not saying I am against vaccines totally but I would be doing my research before getting any.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kji5d3MOrQM
MMR is given as one shot. The links to autism were discredited years ago and the purveyor of the fraudulent paper which the antivaxxers live by, was struck off the British medical registry.
Before looking at this video and reading a few articles recently, I would have thought the same way SC. But it has certainly got me thinking.
I had the MMR shot last year.
..and I am still sane – relatively speaking !!
The Hepatitis (A +B) is 3 shots – At Now, +2 months, + 8 months
The Prick RF Kennedy Junior was in Samoa last year capitalizing on a tragic mistake.
2 kids died.
The two nurses were convicted on manslaughter and jailed.
But still he was on a crusade.
He went all the way to Samoa to grandstand.
He is discredited in my eyes.
I’m Glad I’m not a Kennedy.
I looks like there are just 65 active cases.
Of happiness in NZ?
Budget.
$900 million to help Maori
Help them what?
Do fuck all, just like now!
How are you going to get Shames nephs of the couch?
The more you do for intersectionally selected groups such as Maori, the less they will do for themselves. I suspect that the culture of entitlement is encouraged by State handouts.
Where is their “mana”? I have a feeling that by “mana” should be translated as “ego.” It certainly doesn’t equate to “self respect.”
Mana actually means Koha, the more mana the more koha
Naruhodo.
$900 000 000. When does it end? As they say here in Thailand, “Ting Tong”.
Budget thread up.
CNN roasted for putting Greta Thunberg on coronavirus town-hall expert panel
CNN’s expert panel for a Thursday town hall on the novel coronavirus features two doctors, a former Health and Human Services secretary, and a teenage climate activist who has yet to graduate from high school.
CNN announced Wednesday that its Global Town Hall, “Coronavirus: Facts and Fears,” would feature Greta Thunberg, the 17-year-old Swede known for her global-warming protests, not her medical expertise.

I had a quick look at the heavily censored misinformation site, Kiwiblog. Hilariously Jacksie the nazi hunter is still accusing various people of being me 🤣
What a bunch of conspiracy loons. Maybe they think I’m a “Russian troll”
You still renting that cage bird? You do know theres a joooo kea next door to ya?
No idea what you are talking about.
Are you missing your daily bigoted rants about muslims you vile smear of filth?
I have no problems with the jews I work with, hang out with, and fuck. Its hypocrites I loathe. But thanks for asking. Now go jump in front of a truck and make the world a better place.
Not sleeping well?

Look It Here
There there Kea. We still love you and your home will always be here. Just don’t shit all over the furniture
Just place more sheets of the NZ Herald on the arm rests of the sofa. That should protect the furniture somewhat.
You’ve obviously never seen kea shit. It’s the recycled remains of lead edge ridging, Big Macs, tourists’ fingers & kidney fat torn from the backs of live sheep.
Even when multi-layered the Herald wouldn’t be up for that! 🙂
Is Cullen dead yet.
Wheres that overstayer.
What was the end result of Ihitomato
Pike River..are we there yet.
No. I saw him on the Tele commending the budget. Vomit.
If you wander over to that other blog, get scroll wheel insurance. Some guy who posts screeds of rambling stuff…. Tried to read some of it but gave up after a while.

Fabulous… I can see loads of KBers handing over $$$$ to read Bat Man’s babbles.
Yay for YSB. Thanks Ed! ❤️️
Finally found out the difference between “sex” and “making love”:
Apparently, if you’re “making love”, you’re supposed to light a couple of candles first.
to see what you are doing or to locate your bits?
Something about “romance” as I understand it Maggy. 🙂
It was obvious the virus was coming across the border with increasing numbers as we waited for Cindy to lock down the NZ border. 25 cases caught but hundreds more suspected.
Covid-19 quarantine measures catch 25 cases at the border
https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/news/300012010/covid19-quarantine-measures-catch-25-cases-at-the-border
Since late February 567 travellers are known to have carried a virus into New Zealand.
From these known travellers, and perhaps others who were never tracked down, the Covid-19 stowaway they brought with them has gone on to infect another 930 people, killing 21.
The quarantine implemented in earnest on April 9 aims to catch and trap the virus hitching a ride on any returning New Zealanders. Since facilities were first established, 25 cases have been caught.
Meanwhile in 3rd World Kerala- Population 35 Million – only 4 folks have died of Covid-19

Great idea.
Jacinda would have thought of that right after her holiday in Fiji and telling ScoMo how to run his country.

Tucker rips Biden for picking AOC to create climate agenda
– Biden a vessel for fringe groups
I really hope good decent Kiwi’s have had enough of this cesspit of shit currently masquerading as a government. The wreckage and destruction they have caused is unprecedented. How can MMP allow window lickers who weren’t voted in to become part of an orchestrated collapse of the economy as well as giving the blue uniformed filth SS type powers?
I desperately hope that these sociopaths are not only voted out but that they lose their seats as well.
Maybe if I think kind thoughts and believe in rainbow coloured unicorns it will happen.
Maybe if I think kind thoughts
Oh heck, is it you that’s holding us back in Level 2.?
We have been instructed to Be Kind for the last 8 weeks.
All of us are being Kind and YOU are letting down team 5 Million.
Perhaps you need to sit in the corner for the rest of the night.
Duly noted. I cannot let my comrades down.
Tomorrow as punishment I will say 3 Hail Jacinda’s and go without my dirt and cabbage rations.
How’s Duckduck Maggy. Been goosed again by her? Or has she run off with that rake of a drake?
Duckduck took off on Tuesday morning with a couple of other Paries that had visited her a couple of times.
We get a few Paries flying over us each day, but there’s been no sign of interest when I call out to them… so she may have gone for good.
The mallards haven’t gone though…. 3 drakes fly in in the morning and a female comes around midday….. They take off later in the afternoon.
Prostitutes in every walk of life then!
Decent Kiwis have AP, but not the majority. Most Kiwis have still not had enough yet.
I’m hoping they get their fill after labour win in September.
