Nice day here in the CSI , 6⁰ which is 5⁰ warmer than the last 2 mornings maybe summer hasn’t packed up and left yet , I do like this time of year all the fecking pollies and reporters are away on holiday and even the leftys that you encounter when going to town don’t seem to be as sad and foul with the prospect of 2 paid weeks off in their near future.

I’ve only visited there once but if you drove around the area for two weeks you might find room to park a Landcruiser & a 25′ Jayco.

The hour I devoted to the task is definitely not long enough.

In the way of ancient myths involving dragons & griffins* the folklore of anthropological global warming is destined to disappear when facts prove its non existence.

  • (Notable exceptions are myths involving Taniwha which will be with us for a while yet due to their ability to generate koha for the gimmees.)

The subject is covered at https://expose-news.com/2025/12/20/ai-will-be-the-demise-of-climate-alarmists/#comments where the article points out that the problem of generating huge quantities of electricity to power the data centres for AI isn’t going to be solved by a few solar panels & windmills.

#. “Decades of consensus around the so-called climate catastrophe are now running into new economic, technological and geopolitical realities. “

#. “the gap between elite climate rhetoric and elite climate behaviour speaks louder than any slogan, and today’s rapidly growing electricity demands – from AI to heavy industry – are forcing a reckoning long overdue.”

It ain’t easy being green.

That point was addressed by Noam Chomsky in ‘Media Control’. He understood that the bewildered herd has to be kept distracted else they may start to think :

“People have to be atomized and segregated and alone. They’re not supposed to organize, because then they might be something beyond spectators of action. They might actually be participants if many people with limited resources could get together to enter the political arena. That’s really threatening.”

I do pick up that Noam is a bit like the “Curate’s egg”.

On what ‘la la’ plane is that?
“Manufacturing Consent”?
https://x.com/michaeljknowles/status/2002424362553782615/photo/1

I wonder who served him drinks etc..
What is the destination?

Did he enjoy his “bread & circuses” too?, or just in the name of comfort & research? may be a new book, like “Manufacturing a Release; of Fears”

A bit more here, than RNZ released on Noam Chomsky, who seemed to have interesting discussions with Epstein.

The files, unsealed by a U.S. court, include photographs and correspondence.
They show the linguist and philosopher maintained contact with Epstein for years.

Limited by a court ordered seal ! …..hmmmm ….

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. —- Noam Chomsky

Agreed. Chomsky has been accorded accolades & status he neither sought nor deserved. Because of his criticism of USA foreign policy he is the darling of ‘Liberals’ though he holds libertarian socialist values. Only the mangled English of the Yanks could confuse ‘liberal’ & ‘libertarian’ but that is what we have to work with.

He’s totally at odds with the socialist left as he vehemently opposes censorship & any reining in of free speech.

Overall he has a sharp & cutting intellect which provides us with some memorable quotes but he doesn’t deserve the worship he is given in some quarters.

There is no such thing as a libertarian socialist. The terms are mutually contradictory.

Most gold plated experiments in Justice & Corrections practises are doomed to failure by the wankery, idealism & naïveté of the academics who advocate for them. An exception are the three ‘Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Courts’ established to push criminals facing charges into addressing their drug abuse.

From https://newsroom.co.nz/2025/12/22/drug-treatment-courts-can-jam-addictions-revolving-door/

#. “What makes the drug treatment court model powerful is the wraparound support given to the high-risk, high-needs offenders whose substance use disorder is driving their offending. Put simply, if the major cause of the offending is addressed, then reoffending reduces.”

#. “…..people who complete the drug treatment court programme are 50 percent less likely to reoffend in their first year than comparable high-risk, high-needs offenders who go through the District Court.”

Surely what is proven to work should be expanded on.

Where might that be Sooty? A bloke I know did three years in Rimutaka when the cops found a successful indoor market garden he was involved in.

When he was released in 2013 the going price “inside” was roughly double that asked for on the street. If there’s a demand somewhere someone will satisfy it.

Good video well explained. There has to be a point when the interest payments exceed governments ability to pay but that could still be a long way off. Even moderate levels of inflation could kick the can down the road for years.

There is still a lot of money floating around, created, whatever, that keeps the EU afloat.
Only until the supermarkets become empty of essentials, like basic food, & the queues go down the length of streets.
Then maybe that may speed things up, by getting people to possibly think about things.
But the elite will borrow more, to buy in “food-aid” & keep many others paid & fed, by working in the “food-banks’ so that they can feelz good & empire build for their priorities.

Still by Christmas 🙃 as it is the season of New Hope & Change, & resolutions made for the New Year, will be kept?
Really as they suffer in the depths of a cold winter?
———– ————- ————- ———
“Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.” —– Benjamin Franklin.

To increase surveillance, digital banking, digital ID, anti money laundering laws, gun control, eventually to car & truck controls & to gain “thought controls” that can be “seen” with sealed court records, suppression & censorship. etc., etc..

The political elite know it, as being one of the reasons why the UN Global Migration Pact includes “Allah’s Willing Executioners”;–
the snakes in the grass, a most useful tool as enforcers to “Manufacture Consent by Fears”.

So many levers they can pull, & illusions to sell & trade on, all on partial & favouritism delivery as the needs will be reconfigured, to keep their powers & increase controls.

The system knows there are battles, so then back off, so that battle is only a Pyrrhic Win from a year ago.
Then the spin or pivot to another, so another battle ensues..

So it seems the police folded?
Did the police latter do any follow up?
Did the authorities position themselves to make deduct from farm accounts?

It is only when people can see it is an ongoing war, & state uses every time-buying trick to then bring to bear another cost, a fee, a levy, a permit. death duties, Carbon rulings, etc.. etc..

Then one sits down to plan actual winning stratgeties & what are the best tactics to that.
And importantly to wise-up, bring many more people on board.

Just like kindly peaceful, Mohammad always with pin-pricking ways, seeking hudna truces, to resume in minor battles, to bleed out his opponents over time.
Like the increased costs for security, that eventually go insane on costs like on food, & peoples valuable time resources.
The ongoing fees for halal kill that benefits the enemy, that quietly keep ramping up in various ways.

The Member of Parliament was scheduled to speak at an
 important convention, so he asked one of his staff to write
him a punchy, 20-minute speech.

When the MP returned from the big event, he was furious.

“What’s the idea of writing me an hour-long speech?” he
demanded to know. “Half the audience walked out before
I finished.”

The employee was baffled. “I wrote you a 20-minute
speech,” he replied. “I also gave you the two extra copies
you asked for.”

ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES: THIS TIME IT’LL WORK, WILLIE JACK
Satirical tale
The Horse doesn’t come down the pub anymore.
She’s moved on to better lighting, overseas applause, and speeches where nobody asks who’s paying. From afar, she still reigns, not ruling exactly, more hovering. A presence. A legacy. The sort you’re told not to question, even while you’re footing the bill.
Down here, though, it’s Chippy Boy running the show.
Big smile. Sleeves rolled up. That Del Boy confidence that says Trust me, mate. He slaps the table, leans in close, and promises everyone that this next deal is the one. Not like the last one. Or the one before that. This one’s different.
“Lovely bit of policy,” he says. “You’ll like this.”
Willie Jack, loyal as ever, nods along. He’s heard the pitch before, but loyalty beats logic when you’ve already bought in. Besides, questioning the plan feels a bit rude, and Chippy Boy sounds so sure.
The plan’s simple. Always is.
A bit more tax here. A bit more tax there. Then hand some of it back as a freebie nobody asked for and call it fairness. Doctors for one week. Future Fund the next. Something else after that. Pay more, receive less, but be grateful for the gesture.
“Can’t lose,” Chippy Boy says.
“Can’t fail,” say the fools.
The Horse watches from a distance, calm, untouched. Pushing books on kindness, staging tv appearances. Any problems get blamed on Chippy Boy’s execution. Any success, real, imagined, or statistically massaged, floats straight back up to her legend, her legacy.
Meanwhile, the pub’s emptier than it used to be.
The regulars stopped coming when prices went up, and the service went downhill. They weren’t angry. Just tired. Tired of being told they’re being helped while their wallets say otherwise. Tired of being sold the same crate with a new label slapped on it. They jumped on a plane and found a better pub.
Chippy Boy keeps going.
He says people are struggling, which is why they’ll need to contribute a bit more. He says the system’s broken, which is why the same crowd should be trusted to fix it again. He says it’s all about kindness, which is handy, because kindness is hard to measure and impossible to audit properly.
Willie Jack claps anyway.
Every now and then, someone asks why the crowd outside isn’t buying it anymore.
Chippy Boy waves it off.
“They don’t get it yet,” he says. “Once they see the value, they’ll come round.”
Like Del Boy staring at a garage full of unsold gear, convinced tomorrow’s market will be different.
Last orders roll around.
The tab lands with a thud. Bigger than anyone wants to explain. No one laughs. No one’s shocked either.
Chippy Boy looks at the total, then grins.
“Right,” he says, “we’ll spread this out. Everyone chips in. Fair’s fair.”
The Horse remains untouchable.
Chippy Boy keeps selling.
Willie Jack keeps clapping.
And the fools convince themselves that next time, next pitch, next promise, next election, this time, Willie Jack… this time it’ll work.

At this stage it seems to be only a battle.
The EU Parliament conceded for time, into 2026 on the South American food trade agreement.
So they can live, & find other angles, to split, divide, & continue to rule by their agenda.

But only when many people figure there is a War for total Control over them, to lead to a concept & be dedicated to doing what it takes in over throwing the establishment.

Romania, 1989, Nicolae Ceausescu comes to mind.
Then there was no doubling down by the authorities.

After all NZ is signed up for this.
Agenda 2030 is the United Nations global plan adopted by all member states in 2015
to achieve sustainable development by 2030, focusing on
17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that tackle poverty, inequality, climate change, peace, and prosperity by integrating economic, social, and environmental efforts for all people and the planet.
It s a universal roadmap with 169 targets, aiming to leave no one behind through actions in areas like clean water, education, gender equality, and responsible consumption
https://sdgs.un.org/goals

All wily & deviously worked in as Community orientated, run by academia, that uses so called paid community leaders, that run meetings on the Delphi techniques for the supposed concensus.

Just look how far that has allowed DEI, transgenderism, Identity politics, Te Partly with ‘tikanga’, BLM, digital ID with digital finance controls & various wokism to flow, etc., etc..

One guess who did this.

Pouri Hut, a 12-bunk shelter along the Matemateāonga Track in Whanganui National Park, has been destroyed by fire, prompting a summer fire safety warning from the Department of Conservation (DOC) and Fire and Emergency New Zealand.
The fire, which broke out on December 11, razed the hut completely.
No-one was inside at the time, and the blaze did not spread to the surrounding forest. The hut was an important link for trampers and for DOC’s biodiversity work in the area.
Investigators have ruled out common causes, including the wood burner, gas bottle, and cooker, but were unable to determine the exact source.

I congratulate Trade Minister Todd McClay for his hard work getting the India Free Agreement over the line.
Removing barriers so Kiwi businesses can more easily sell their goods and services to 1.4 billion people, who are getting richer every year, means opportunity. It means jobs and wages. As a country, it diversifies our markets so it’s harder for anyone to hold us to ransom.
There is some complaint that the deal isn’t good enough. Well it’s better than we had, it’s better than Australia got, and a country where people literally worship cows was always going to be a hard sell on dairy access.
As for the migrants, it’s 1,667 three year visas for skilled workers. For context, around 140,000 migrants enter New Zealand every year, some years many more.
So, a big congratulations to Minister McClay for putting in the work to get the Agreement over the line and opening up opportunities for Kiwis.

‘An agreement worth supporting’ Labour may rescue India FTA after NZ First says it will vote against it
The Government has agreed a comprehensive free trade deal which eliminates or reduces tariffs on 95% of New Zealand’s exports to India.
Labour has indicated it may support the deal when it eventually comes to Parliament. Labour’s support may have salvaged the deal which was in trouble after NZ First announced it would vote against it, robbing the coalition of its majority and forcing National and Act to look for votes.
NZ First cited concerns with concessions the deal grants on visa access to Indians and the poor dairy access New Zealand exporters got in return.
“When Cabinet approval for the India deal was sought last week, New Zealand First exercised the agree to disagree provision of its coalition arrangements – while making clear that it would vote against enabling legislation if and when it is introduced to Parliament,” NZ First leader Winston Peters said in a statement.
Peters said the deal was “neither free nor fair”.
