The sun has moved on.
Morning all.
The sun moved to the Waikato Viking; A beautiful sunny, calm morning after a howler last night.
Lucky you!
You had better sort the weather out V2 as I am over your way this afternoon to bury the dead and I am not prepared to put up with any kind of shit weather.
Nice afternoon, sir. 18 degrees at present. no rain.
Listen to this man about the biological warfare that is covid.

How 3 times Stanford lied.
Did Stanford lie To Hosking? Yes.

To also bear in mind, there are other accomplices, that now seem to be apparent, as they have remained “silent”, as they have not called Stanford & her lies out.
Nigel Farage is weirdly obsessive about his hatred for Tommy Robinson. Will he expel further Reform members who announced they will speak at Tommy’s Save the UK Rally on 13 September.

“Farage is furious!” Tommy Robinson victory as Derek Chisora & Ant Middleton back him over Reform UK
Dan Wootton Outspoken
Ant Middleton (ex SAS) and Derek Chisora (boxer) – the two favourites to be Reform UK’s London mayoral candidate – side with Tommy Robinson. …
Yep, that’s Farage’s huge blind spot. I’m unsure whether all the disaffected working-class ex-Labour supporters will continue to support Reform if Farage continues to demonise TR.
He would be best to move to a position where he says he and the party don’t support TR, but Reform MPs are free to support him as individuals. Surely that’s what a true libertarian would do?
Alienating a chunk of your voter base and splintering the right voting block is not smart, and Farage should be a bigger man and do what’s best for Britain, rather than what’s best for his ego.
Farage is a narcissist who won’t share the spotlight with anyone. Hence removing Rupert Lowe and a long list of others who he perceives as a threat of even s smidgen of his full wonderfullness.
Quite agree – like a true libertarian would never sign an agreement agreeing not to meet with protestors.
We didn’t have any libertarians to sign it. The only true NZ libertarians I can recall are Ian Fraser & Lindsay Perigo.
The ACT party only represses its true essence (that of a body of control freaks) for photo shoots & electoral campaigns.
Exactly. Seymour once used the words, “ACT’s position is the correct libertarian position…”
Because of that, ACT will never get my vote while he’s leader – even though I often like what he does.
How long has the discussions on the sand mining in the South Taranaki bight been going on? Well the tribe has suddenly woken up to the fact and is racing of to the Waitangi tribunal and wants them to make a ruling! Tribe must be losing, or a sleep!
The bribe offered to the kaumatua was considered to be substandard.

The Waitaki Voice is a F.B page covering all things just south of the river to me. This was iincluded in a posting this morning.
“More and more this government appears to be a uni-party where left and right campaign on separate policy and yet both maneuver us into the same place. Time our local MP Miles Anderson MP for Waitaki grew a backbone and started standing up for Waitaki on some of these issues as well. From private property rights to the health services, he needs to start representing his voter base rather than passively following party policy especially when that policy is tracking further apart from Nationals election statements day by day.”
Feel that may sum up the feelings of many of us “Right” voters around the Country.
most MPs are sell outs.
lazy and self aggrandising. There for the high pay and baubles .
and fucking list MPs
whose moron idea was that
I am impressed with Tim Costley the Gnat MP for Kapiti /Otaki
He covers Levin to Paraparaumu
a marginal seat
once held for 2 terms by Barry Brill.
he works hard and engages with the people
A former flyboy with the NZ Airfarce .
So, extra impressed he has overcome this difficult start in life !!
he has a monthly post of activities in Waikanae watch and active in the community
and accessible
.
not sure of his value set, to be fair
but this hard work will not see him go places in sleepy notional …led by lambs
he does not come across as a quisling or snake… so options are limited.
However willyless, who is not very bright, might promote him when she sees he is “costley”
she likes spending and costly things.
these are surrogates for new shoes and handbags!!
Could be worse, my M.P is Shane Reti and nobody can even remember what he looks like.
Shane Reti
looks like….
Ugly (inside, = a sellout)
and yellow.
not like a banana but like a new born chicken.
cluck cluck.
pretends to be brown but is as yellow as they come.
ergo
Would make a great leader of current notional;
cluck cuck !
if “right” voters are unhappy then they should keep voting for a woke centre left party that was once upon a time a conservative right party.
pretty simple solution really but 90% of them will still vote the same and be baffled we keep heading in the same direction.
That Simeon Brown is positively Far Right …in a center lefty pardy
he is in the wrong party.
To think the bastard was trying to get things done in local govt and transport.
What a prick!!!!
Good thing luxcinda out a stop to that and buried him in health.
now Brown is trying to fix things there.
it never ends. This must stop

His future looks bleak!!

Just what is being worked into the allowances & the duties of nurses that they are striking over.
13. Tikanga allowance in recognition of instances where employees who are not directly employed in cultural roles, use their knowledge of Te Reo Māori me onā Tikanga to support Te Whatu Ora’s cultural obligations (for example but not limited to pōwhiri, whakatau).
https://maranga-mai.nzno.org.nz/2024_claims
So how much would a Tikanga allowance for a nurse be.
Gleaned by AI
A Tikanga Māori allowance for nurses in New Zealand, as part of the Health NZ-NZNO collective agreement, is $3,000 per annum, according to the 2026 Māori Health Research Career Development Awards application guidelines.
This allowance is separate from other allowances like the shift coordinator allowance.
It seems the allowance can be increased if the incantations, chants etc., if it goes above a certain number of hours per quarter.
Now one may wonder if there is precedence for this, or it soon will be, like for all teachers, as being laid out by Minister of Education, Erica Stanford?
“Required to ensure” (mandatory) in Stanfords Amendment of the Education Act is just another part of this spreading contagion.
Stanford and Luxflakes are pushing National to be a minor party next election if they maintain their desire to infect NZ with Maorification and invaders who will never integrate and become Kiwis
As she awoke from her gentle slumber, her blue eyes highlighted by the sunshine glistening off her face, she reached for her phone. Her perfectly formed back stretched for the first time that day, her shoulders revealed from the duvet that had kept them warm overnight. She looked so beautiful. She plumped her pillows and lifted her slender and perfectly tanned body up. Her day had begun.
She turned and smiled at me. “I love you” she whispered. Then, as she always does, her fingers interacted with her device. I knew she was checking her usual applications, emails, messages, the news. I was watching her intensely, as I always do. She was mine.
Suddenly and without warning, her eyes slowly closed, for what seemed like ages. Eventually they opened again. The joy in her face seemed to have fade away. Her head began to shake slowly left and right. She just stared at the ceiling, looking completely vacant, almost broken. She let out a long sigh. Something awful had happened, I could tell.
Concerned and confused, I knew it wasn’t a stroke. “What’s the matter my darling?” I asked in a hurried voice. She’d read something dreadful, I knew it in my heart. I looked at her phone. I could see the heading ‘You Stupid Boy” at the top.
She said “This Viking commenter is fucking shite isn’t he?”
i hope your response was something involving calling her captain obvious.
What meds are you on today?
LSD, mushrooms .
You can tell us we all understand.
Should I call your nurse and tell her you robbed the drug cabinet?

There is a preamble (back grounder) on his speech.

10 mins 30 secs May 23rd : 2025 in X but note the date in nitter is 2023 :
Covid diminished his name, but now showing that the is standing on the right side of history,
Going through one can see other comments, replies, inquiries, why some even figure that some things are cut short.
It does take time & persistance, refresh, “reload” to “load more comments” though it can jump about on the dates.
howitis link above is longer as it does not include the preamble, then at later point to cut it short.
Maybe this is all of it at rumble though sound is a bit on the lower level.?
So it is revived & well worth retelling this year, note the date.

Still needs to be sent on to NZ’s Covid inquiry people.
Even if they already have it, they really need to figure that many more people know this; and could blow out to be too big to cover up or ignore.
Sure there are numerous “fact checkers” like Reuters denigrating this Dr. David Martin.

Found much more, an article based on this “speech” written up in excerpts & quotes & summations.

Seems to make some interesting points, & raises further issues.
The plan to increase the “funding base needs to be sustained”. …..
A hell of a lot more than a “short”
And why have not the rest of who he points the accusatory finger sued the shit out of him??
Most of them will have like Big Pharma companies would whole legal departments to to entangle him in lawfare.
Or is it just ignore, suppress, omit, ongoing censorship?
Should later see if this guy as more recent updates.
I guess it can not be with NZ health data, as it is so sacrosanct no one is allowed see it or anaylize..
Probably a lot of rope, is tangled around so many feet, in the entrenched bureaucracy that controls the ever changing politicians that it will not be one swift tug to revelations taking them all down.
And in the meantime, time marches & life marches on, to where another scandal may break out, to be used as a cover too in forgetting.
A lot of rope required!

Erin Patterson is a large gal and not at all yoof adjacent.
Australian murder trial .
So the jury is on day 5 of deliberations of her triple murder plus 1 of attempted murder.
the international definition of Mass Murder is 4 or more people in one event.
if she had taken out the fourth person it would be a mass murder trial.
So a week of deliberations after 7 weeks of trial seems like lots of uncertainty.
the 3 people killed were all at the same table and died soon after so not like they have to separate out different events.
this deliberation means she might get off.
after 2 days there is no agreement there are holdouts.
12 angry Men was only a scripted movie, fiction.
So she might walk
life will never be the same in any even for Patterson
Seems to me like she did and went a lot of subterfuge to take them out
and had tried to kill the ex hubby several times, but jury cant consider that!
duh.
if she is convicted we know that women only ever get one quarter the sentence that men get -in NZ, AU, UK
So this time next week she might be a free woman
and hell, what sort of fee can the defence barristers get after that Houdini act?
Gay Oakes set the gold standard for pre meditated killing with wet bus ticket sentencing for women. Others can only follow.

Turner, formerly of Christchurch was sentenced to life imprisonment for
the murder of three babies,
and to three five year sentences for the attempted murder of two others.
Two of the murdered children, Megan and Cheney Louise, had been her own. The third was eight months old Michael Clark Tinnion whom she suffocated.
———-
So she was convicted of 3 murders and two attempted murders (similar numbers to Patterson)
there were more charges for attempted murder but not proven.
She got LIFE in prison
Sentences run concurrent
She was out in 13 years
for 3 lives and many attempted others

-Parker–Hulme murder
So it was no wonder with all that, that Lauren Dickason knew she could literally get away with murder in Canterbury , as a woman.
I have from day 1 been convinced this was premeditated and she waited to get to NZ to do it.
She was not exactly a dummy.
but is a killer.
Unless you believe in the occult or religion then it is hard to accept that geography could have an influence on the thinking or behaviour of the inhabitants of a particular area
Time after time the goings on in Christchurch challenge that observation.

Adam Creighton :
……. Public figures risk censure for even modest calls for integration or cultural cohesion.
7. Demographic Shift Unacknowledged
The rapid decline in the proportion of Australians with British or European ancestry is rarely discussed openly, and when it is, it’s often framed in terms of “diversity” gains, not cultural loss. …..
https://nitter.net/Adam_Creighton/status/1940931117923897393
Note also the 2nd extension of that post.
…… : if a government wanted to significantly alter the nation’s cultural identity without provoking open resistance, it would likely follow this exact playbook — fast, opaque, technocratic, and couched in neutral-sounding economic terms.
While NZ’s multi-culti with the likes of Professor Spoonley lay claim that cities in NZ are amplifying into a “Super Diverse City” that leads the world.
A lighter note, as we know we can not go back, & there is nothing more sure than change; but by whose guidelines for those changes?

Luxon has said that the Nats will not be standing anyone in the by-election. So TMP will get reelected.
Should not have declared either way, but waited, to see what cards may have shown up from the other Parties.

That’s ridiculous. Hydraulics can be fixed
From Telegram “UK Royal Navy F-35B stealth fighter jet, worth over $100 million, that made an emergency landing in Kerala,India on June 14, has been declared beyond repair on-site due to a hydraulic failure.
It will be dismantled and transported back to the UK in a C-17 aircraft. The UK has agreed to pay all parking and hangar dues to Indian authorities.”
Lockheed Martin probably have the same idea as the manufactures of John Deere tractors.
Increase profits by forcing farmers to go to dealerships by restricting access to tools & documentation & employing software locks only dealers can disable. Service doesn’t matter & the unfortunate owner faces extortion & take it or leave it attitudes.

a short and to the point comment on euthanasia…
https://youtube.com/shorts/GUEkAo805-8?si=U6qRESoQzUJlLwlm
EUTHANASIA (def) “the hastening of death of a patient to prevent further sufferings. Active euthanasia refers to the physician deliberate act, usually the administration of lethal drugs, to end an incurably or terminally ill patient’s life”.
ASSISTED DYING ‘or assisted suicide’ (def) “when a suicide is intentionally aided by the attending medical or nurse practitioner and the person self-administers the medication.”
Glad I could clear that up.

Watch as the sky fills with satellites, starting from Sputnik 1 in 1957 to the present day. Every dot represents a real satellite, their explosion in number telling a silent story of human ambition, technology, and global surveillance.
To visualise the exponential rise, we’ve added a graph, clearly showing the dramatic spike in satellite launches in recent years.
For visual clarity and aesthetic impact, each satellite is dramatically scaled up, emphasising presence, not realism.
What you see is not chaos… It’s calculated evolution. This is the age of orbit.

BREAKING: Criminal Referrals Filed in 7 States Against Fauci & Top COVID Officials Anthony Fauci, Deborah Birx, Rochelle Walensky, Peter Daszak & others are now facing criminal referrals filed in seven U.S. states. ⚖️ Victims and families are accusing them of: • Murder • Medical coercion • Racketeering • Medical terrorism 💥 These are not just claims—these are official legal filings coordinated by top legal teams, including the Former Feds Freedom Foundation. This could become one of the most consequential legal reckonings in modern history. 💣 The truth is no longer a conspiracy.

Just to stop you moaning at me.
Yup, as I suspect this is old news.
I found this https://x.com/grok/status/1921526302072569862
The claim about criminal referrals against Dr. Fauci in seven states is partially true but needs clarification. The Vires Law Group did file referral requests in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Oklahoma on April 8, 2025, alleging serious crimes tied to COVID policies. However, as of May 2025, no actual charges have been filed in any state.
Separately, 17 state attorneys general are investigating Dr. Fauci’s COVID response, but no outcomes have been reported yet. President Biden’s pardon in January 2025 protects Fauci from federal prosecution, though state actions could still proceed. The situation remains uncertain, so it’s best to follow updates for clarity.

European studies have shown that immigration in the last 10 years has a net negative economic impact.
But yet these bozos still persist for the most cynical, easiest and brain dead way to ‘grow’ the economy. Short sighted sugar hit planning to get the metrics up in the short run.

Wellington is home to a few secrets from the 2ndWW era. One was a house built in 1940 on what was then farmland. Sited in Rata Street it housed records & plates used for printing bank notes for the Reserve Bank.
…..”The vault was built into the hillside during the Second World War with the threat of a Japanese invasion. The house was built on top to lessen the chance of vandalism. In 1972 the house was sold when Reserve Bank documents were able to be housed in the new building on The Terrace. (Information from Evening Post, 11 April”…..

A tunnel was rediscovered when the realignment of the road over the Rimutakas was undertaken about 15 years ago. The road in the area of Muldoon’s corner (about a kilometre south of the summit) was very narrow & carved into the cliffs. The NZ Army dug a tunnel under the road & filled it with explosives with the intent of destroying the only road over the hill if the Japs invaded.
