Vietnam has closed 86 million bank accounts… because they refused… the digital ID.”
“You had to register a digital ID with biometric data… And if you don’t do it, we’ll take your money, whether you like it or not.”
“It’s coming here. They’re pushing for digital IDs.”
“We had it during Covid. Oh, just get one vaccination and you’ll be fine. And then they took away your permissions… and said, no, actually, you need another one. And then another one.”
“The more we give away our freedom, our power, the more they’ll take.”
“We are on the edge of a cliff… We have to show that we are not going to allow this or accept this. Because if we all stopped going to work, or we all stopped using our cards, they’d… listen to us rather quickly.”
“And that’s a choice we still have at the moment. If cash disappears, that choice is gone forever.”
“And I wouldn’t like to think of the world where we are controlled—where we can drive, where we can fly, what food we can eat—and the bank can choose whether to let you make that purchase or not. That’s a dangerous road.”
“This isn’t freedom. And we should resist it as much as we can… And at the moment, cash is the one thing that we still have a choice with.”
“This is scary Orwellian stuff… If we don’t do something about it, it is going to be too late

I had a lot of hassle last year with ASB to prove I was me with an account that was open and active for 30 years .
Mostly dealing with Indians who were total shitheads (no surprise)
they loved the power they could wield after being in OUR country for less than 10 years.
When these darkie immigrants get even more power like this above they will love it
….and be even greater shitheads
That’s what the Maori are frightened off!
At least Vietnam is not as bad as ignorant as Starmer’s gas lighting the public, which actually may activate enought & save the day for the British. The strings are being pulled by Tony Blair & son with funding from others.
So I hope that the UK Labour Party get totally slam-dunked over this, and at least Farage has come out against Digital ID,
As linked to in in yesterday’s comment & linked to “Triggernometry” discussion.

More concise detail on Vietnam:—
Fraud Reduction: Eliminate duplicate, inactive, or fraudulent accounts, which are often used for scams or money laundering.International Alignment: The project aligns with standards from organisations like the OECD and the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), aiming to modernise Vietnam’s financial system and improve global interoperability.https://www.comsuregroup.com/news/the-state-bank-of-vietnam-sbv-has-deactivated-over-86-million-bank-accounts/
…. tying into global trends like WEF’s “Great Reset” for digital economies ….
…. Criticisms: Privacy advocates decry it as a “biometric gulag,” forcing data harvesting for surveillance. Bitcoiners on platforms like Reddit call it a push toward CBDCs (central bank digital currencies), with one expat noting he had to fly back to Vietnam to save his HSBC account—no remote options. Social media buzz (e.g., from Andrew Kaufman, MD) warns of parallels to U.S. REAL ID or EU digital IDs, framing it as a test for global control.In comparison & on the face of it almost seems much more reasonable & plausible reasons by Vietnam.
Just being more professional assassainans on their citizens, inspired by the shadowy global complex.
In this article one can see the overreach already practiced in China, the UK. & Canada.
….. “If users don’t comply by the 30th, they’ll lose their money. This is why we’re using Bitcoin”. …..
….. biometric integration further ties financial access to personal identity.
While this strengthens security against fraud, it also concentrates risk:–
technical failures, human error, or changing political priorities can instantly restrict someone’s transaction ability. ….
….. Bitcoin and other decentralized networks ….
Transactions occur peer-to-peer, making arbitrary freezes or seizures far more difficult. …..
…… offering protection not only from cybercriminals but also from state overreach or unforeseen regulatory changes. …..

….. Tuatara really do have a third eye in the middle of the forehead.
It’s called the parietal eye (pronounced pa-rye-e-tal) (1). So why can’t we see this eye?
It turns out the parietal eye is covered from birth by a layer of translucent skin, plus possibly some small scales.
Scales grow as the tuatara ages and hide the presence of the eye.

Exposing Government Lies: The Truth About the UTK Freedom of Speech Event
The UK government and mainstream media tried to slander the UTK Freedom of Speech event as “racist.” The truth? It was a powerful, inclusive gathering of people from all races, cultures, and backgrounds—united to defend our nation and our freedoms!
…
Finance and Economic Growth Minister Nicola Willis announced the film subsidy would more than double in Budget 2025, bringing the total International Screen Production Rebate to $1.09 billion,
arguing
the industry could not survive without it.
———————-
so
in other words
it is a non-viable industry
and to have it the participants are either public servants (on the taxpayer tit)
or
beneficiaries
same with the Amcup yachting
if you are still pouring money into it after 25 to 30 years then it is non-viable;
and is basically a taxpayer-paid hobby for some lucky people.
They’d go elsewhere. Like Rio Tinto they’ve successfully engaged our government in a race to the bottom. If we don’t offer them sugar, they’ll pack up their toys and leave.
Peter Jackson’s lot pay $1 per annum to Wellington Council (it might even be for more than one year), for worker car parking in Stone Street. Given that 99% of the workers are contractors, I’m pretty sure they can afford to pay for parking like us mere peasants.
Not to mention the fact that they’re all rabid commie fruitloops.
One of the reasons Trump has put a 100% tariff on films made overseas, which the distributors want to show in the USA.
…some lucky people who then lecture us on our lifestyle.
And encourage us to get jabbed.
Yes, because sane people always take their medical advice from the likes of the film industry and other such types. //
almost all who get the funding will be rabid leftists aswell.
nz will be lucky to get a ROI of 5cents on the dollar. utter waste of money, let the industry die
…let the industry die..
yes
exactly what Trump has created
but dumbass nikki clueless willyless has doubled down – literally – on taxpayer handouts
from a borrowed 1 Billion dollars
to pay out to her arty farty set of mates in wellywood
this is corruption.
there is not positive ROI on this going in
so deliberate malfeasance from willyless .
But think of the kudos she will get from the ”creative community”. That has to be worth a billion dollars of other people’s money.
From https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/26/us/bmw-fire-recall we learn that:
…..”Owners of nearly 200,000 BMWs should not park in the garage because the vehicles could short circuit and catch fire, according to a recall notice.”…..
This is not a significant problem, because it can only occur if the indicators are used.
i see theres an ev with the ability to jetison the battery should it shit out… in a parking lot that means the poor bastard parked 3 slots over will now get their car torched.
What are the just going to drop the battery on the floor and remain parked over top. Not as though they can drive off. Or are they going to throw it out the side, front or back and maybe kill a toddler and the mother doing so?
That ties in nicely with the globalist population reduction agenda.
The Government says a study that has associated pollution from gas stoves with the premature deaths of hundreds of New Zealanders every year “is an important piece of work” – but people with gas cookers “do not need to panic”. Nicholas Jones reports.
The Energy Minister says the public “should not panic” but the Government is taking seriously a study that has linked indoor pollution created by cooking with gas stoves with the early deaths of more than 200 New Zealanders a year.

Country is running out of gas
Due to the gas ban
This has wider implications for related industries
and goo-mint is looking as using taxpayer money to build a large storage tank farm to store imported gas!!
Duh
Like we import coal for Huntly
Q. how retarded is the goo-mint
Ans, Very
so to nudge people away lets say these these kills hundreds of people a year
= CONvid lite
Scare em
to get them to give up gas
This really is GASlighting in the truest form .
Govt are cunts.
They think that the gas will come from aussie who through idiot govts like ours are now running short of gas themselves
We can get it from the USA. Put a 10% tariff on it to make our woke liarbours think they are helping our economy.

As in Britain, islamophobia is a crime. even jihadis carrying a blade are protected if they can lever the “feelz” offended.
So at some point, if not quietly already here in NZ, to offend special people’s will also become a crime.
Then so easy to clip your digital ID ticket.
I first saw the top photo just after 6.30 in the dark and thought not that good. Just seen it again in the light and the old saying about how many bags needed came to mind. I would think at least 3 to ensure could not break out.
If there was ever a batshit crazy form of governance it is on full show in the US Senate.
Despite being in the minority in the Senate the demonrats can stop the latest funding bill by threatening a filibuster ( essentially a never ending debate on the bill) which then requires a majority of 60% to overcome. So the party with 45% of Senate seats can hobble the governing party. Nuts.
Republicans need the support of six democrats to stop the govt shutdown.
Demorats are demanding $1.5trillion spent on illegals free health care.
I believe that 3 demonrats voted yes and 2 republicans voted no but the whole idea that any demonrat votes are needed is bizarre given they have a 55-45 majority.
they need 60 vote majority to pass it.
Rinos? Arseholes definitely. 😏

So we can see the joke is on us, chanting, “Go Woke, Go Broke”, as that is only a part of the play. So unknowingly we will become the losers.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”― Sun Tzu, The Art of War
At least the first link explains a bit more of what we are up against.
The one part we can really change, is within us.
Then to figure what we are really up against.
But too many of us flounder around, not really knowing ourselves and what principles to hold in this “Go along, to Get along” world with temptations of giving out virtous signals.
Just what principles to have?
From Your parents?
From Your school teachers?
From Your Government authorities, that just love to help you.
Then once some experience, reasoning, knowledge, and realize there can be a personal price to be paid for them.

Yes, very small and will now rewrite ……have seen our diary. Entered 3.07 pm and in Vaduz at 3.10 p.m. Walked around a bit – had our passport stamped (tourist thing) for 2 F and posted postcards. That took to 5.30 then we stayed the night in the carpark (freedom camping) – Info lady said we could. Left next morning at 9.30 a.m. It is more ecxpensive than Switzerland which should tell you something.
Yes when I was young I passed through but blinked and missed most of it.

Perhaps they have to work?
I was going to sort more back ground on this vid, to find replicate the written statements.
But Ed’s inquiry has kicked me into gear on this, and bearing in mind that it seems ruled by a very strong, active Constitutional Monarchy, but probably knows very well the forms & dangers that democracy creates, & how it can be subverted..

Just a hint of some blood oozing:—
…. “Some things aren’t my stories to tell; they’re too close to other people.
But one example I can give is that AGMs haven’t been held, and national council meetings with all the electorates haven’t been held either, even though the constitution says they must be.”
He says it is likely people will start to come forward in time with their stories and experiences on the record. …..
https://www.teaonews.co.nz/2025/10/02/toitu-te-tiriti-cuts-ties-with-te-pati-maori/
Since when did the modern maori partly have to follow a constitution.
Always has been follow the money. —-
into their own bank accounts.
Maori radicals squabbling among themselves is a good thing. It dissipates their energies and stops them achieving their cherished dream of tribal rule.
The question is: which tribe will rule? Is tribal war far away?
The artless children of Toitū Te Tiriti have taken longer than most to realise that Te Pāti Māori is the political wing of the Tamihere Corporation.

Speaking of corruption and 2 tier justice systems. Did you see that Helen Houghton the leader of the new conservatives had someone literally threaten to kill her. They tracked down the person involved and complained to the police who decided that no crime had been committed and wouldn’t pursue charges. Seems the same person was responsible for the bomb threat at the venue for the canadians Lauren Southern Stephan Molineux a few ears back.

is a bunch of tossers when I dealt with them about 10 years ago when Len Brown was about.
It was run then by an angry English lesbian, north of 50, (who looked the part with the requisite haircut)
The Taxpayers union is largely a bunch of kids playing C grade politics with bugger all real world experience.
They are the equivalent of US unpaid interns
Remember in the Conservative party trials a few years back Jordan Williams was so disconnected he had to get a reference from his own mother.
Weak.
There is a chance we will face a large rate rise next year in AKL
after a low rise this year [political pretence]
and Wayne K Brown will bugger off before the next elections
He is 80 next year and in 2028 will turn 82.
so we will get Dizzy Ditzy Desley who is married to Peter Goodfellow the chappie who was a shithouse Gnat party president for more than 10 years .
Dizzy Desley has as much connection to the real world as Meryl Streep or Emma Watson
married to a multi , multi millionaire (inherited money, DEI) .
Sabre 38 is correct
Brown has bullshitted and wont stop now .
Subject: Re: Is Wayne Brown planning a rates blowout?
Fuck off.
Ask a silly question, while they claim to be respectful, …. yeah right ….
and so one gets a straight forward “silly” reply.
So the media & others set up to be as if that is how he sees, values ratepayers.
All a part of trying to bring in a “Democracy whip” for all.
When will the spending (demands) & expenditure (demanding with menaces) ever line up? After all the years of “Promises,. Promises”.
“Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen and six , result happiness.
Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery”― Charles Dickens, David Copperfield
In the meantime the ongoing chant has been, one must use the value of the asset, by borrowing to better harness the use of capital.
There is a point of this, if there is an actual return.
No one ever figures the difference between one who is paying interest on a loan, compared to one receiving a bit of money in a term account.
Then one can spend a bit more in comparison..
Yep total tosser, promised so much, now he wants motorway user charges, higher rates to fund a stupid train set that only foreigner students, gold card holders and societies bludgers and losers travel on
A definition of public transport is; ‘a system of vehicles used to move anti social youths, alcoholics, mothers & their ill disciplined brats & piss soaked pensioners from where they don’t want to be to where they don’t want to go when they don’t want do do it.’
Don’t hold back Your Worship.
Tell us what you really think of the proposal. 🙂
He did.
You should be pleased as you claim to be a libertarian.
I am & I am.
No, its a valid response to the taxpayers’ unions’ childish behaviour of late.
Really become very childish with their efforts.
His point that you can read the annual plans to find out how money is spent is very valid. But, never met a whinger that has. Plenty whining down our way.
.
A spokesperson for Brown’s election campaign told the NZ Herald that Brown “wished to be unambiguous after being bombarded by their PR stunt emails”.
“Their so-called pledge is unrealistic and meaningless,” the spokesperson added.
Personally I don’t see trying to help reign in out of control council spending as childish but each to his own.
In whose opinion, based on the reality of life in a city, is it out of control?
Certainly has a waste component.
These stupid clowns are working for whom these days?
Is the little blog owner still there, or has he passed on?
Nothing is ever what it seems.
Fundraising takes many forms.
Sadly, you are not being curious enough.
Despite all the bullshit you read daily in the MSM, Brown has made huge changes to ACC and to its endeavour to reduce rates, but you can’t blame him for legacy spending and the previous lack of discipline by councils.
The Port has returned a profit for a start.
Most councils in NZ have either spent badly according to the wishes of their electors, Tga being a dammed good example, or they have kept rates down at the behest of those same people. Again, TGA is an example of that.
A very good example of course is Wellington.
They operated the same modus, kept the rates down, and capped the rates. and of course spend on nice to haves.
They all wanted cheaper sections and so councils obliged by not charging subdividers the full cost of the pipes and roads and things like parks, halls and buses.
You can’t build stuff for nothing; never have been able to.
I grew up in Lower Hutt at the time Percy Dowse was Mayor. He pushed through things like a new council building, new baths and so on, and the yapping was just the same then.
Nothing new under the sun.
I have little insight into the hopes & desires of ratepayers in Tauranga or Gore but I’m well up to speed with those of their luckless counterparts in the Wairarapa; more specifically the opinions of two unfortunates who dwell within the fiefdom of the spendthrifts of the Masterton District Council.
Here we are being railroaded by Council staff & socialist councillors into throwing 25 million fucking dollars into a white elephant. This white elephant will be the new council buildings which the majority of ratepayers will never set foot in.
I’m more than happy for the council CEO & his useless nit picking no hopers to continue mismanaging the affairs of the area from a tent. Indeed it would give them an upward status that they don’t merit nor deserve.
This & hundreds of similar examples of waste are what the Taxpayers Union are trying to prevent. The rubber stampers we elect to council have no interest in the task.
A council spending money on itself – who would have imagined it?
I used to own property in Taumarunui. The council office there features granite countertops. They are pleasant to lean on if one has to talk to a staff member, but they seemed a bit …upmarket…….but they gleamed as my rates were reflected in them.
Rates at smaller councils like Ruapehu tend to be extortionate, because of the small population base – at least that is their excuse.
Even the local free spending yocks haven’t got around to granite countertops…..yet. I imagine they’ll come after the marble toilet pans & solid gold tapware in the staff restrooms.
even the likes of michael laws told them to piss off with their stupid pledge and hes very anti rates rises.
its just a cheap stunt so the tpu can virtue signal. theyve got very desperate and pathetic, imo its like their funds are running low so cheaping out and doing stuntish bullshit to try attract donations.
