“I don’t know which fool launched this fake news tonight about my disappearance, but rest assured that I’m doing well and have no intention of bowing out. To those who have ears,” she wrote on X on Oct. 22, 2025.

Bardot courted controversy from the mid-1990s for her far-right political views, remarks about Islam and immigration and repeated convictions for inciting racial hatred.
She publicly defended disgraced actor Gérard Depardieu and pushed back on the #MeToo movement in France.

Yesterday I mentioned day-child-care centres becoming major $billion dollar rackets in a number of states in the USA in this thread exposing the metastasizing cancer.

2019 …… a police investigation pointed to his involvement in a $27 million fraud …..

Seems to be a fair bit of political anguish in this in NZ too.
Will the accounts be turned in, in a timely fashion then properly audited?

So in NZ, do we not have variations of this, like with Health centres, through to Sports teams, now appearing from Auckland all the way through to Southland.
Over this Christmas period it does seem that the mainstream media are complicit by their silence.
Maybe a mole hill from their point of view, but seeing how it can grow into a “life-force” of mountainous size, that sets up to as “too big to fail” that even challenges Government, that even reaches into Parliament & no questions raised.

In part I wonder if the small locals who want to be part of producing “school lunches” and yelled out that there should be more money for the lunches, are also going to be held accountable as well as the large companies.

The stupid thing is the more the government throughs taxpayers money around, the bigger the opportunity in creating corruption.
Then needs more government of high salary clip-boards & tick-boxers to monitor, record, & report on all of that.
So only cents in the $ is ever forwarded to the “nice & kind” destination, whilst demanding money with menaces from others.

As such kindness fattened out so wide.
As “from little things, does big things grow”.

….. non-profit “Feeding Our Future”, ….

Public servants more left-leaning than private sector workers, new polling shows.
The exclusive polling, provided to the Herald, differentiated between those working in the core public service, made up of ministries and government departments, compared with the wider public sector, which includes workers like members of the police, defence force, teachers and public doctors.
It also compares those working for not-for-profits and for-profit organisations in the private sector.
The numbers reveal workers in the core public service support left-wing parties by a net 16% more than the right, while those employed in the private sector support the right bloc by a net 19% more.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/wellington/public-servants-more-left-leaning-than-private-sector-workers-new-polling-shows/premium/6U6J5NROCVBX3B2UH2G4PQULRY/
.
Private sector workers who work for not-for-profit organisations also supported the left and right in equal shares, but for-profit workers supported the right bloc by a net 24%.
There are about 63,000 fulltime workers employed in the public service, with about 40% of them located in Wellington.
There are 481,500 FTEs employed in the wider public sector, including police officers, Defence personnel, teachers and nurses.
While agencies have their own political neutrality obligations and guidelines, the Public Service Commission states that, generally, public servants do have the right to be involved in political activity in their private lives but must be politically neutral at work.
Some 7600 voters responded to the poll across 2025, a larger dataset than Curia’s standard monthly Taxpayers’ Union poll, which surveys about 1000 voters by phone (landline and mobile) and online with a maximum margin of error of plus or minus 3.1%.

The fable that you can be different at work than you are at home needs dismantling.
You cannot be different. If you are, then you would be classed as schizophrenic.
Well, maybe they are.
Its a bit like saying you are a male, but really you are a female. That doesn’t work.
We hear people with home problems coming to work and saying it doesn’t affect their work. what a joke, of course it does.

dont bite the hand that feeds you is most govt workers/benes motto, voting for a govt that would make you jobless or pay freeze would be like a turkey voting for xmas.
if you were a public sector worker in the same situation then you would probably vote accordingly aswell.
certainly dosent help the hiring process for public sector roles has been rigged to weed out more saner and non woke applicants. the whole thing has pretty much become a make cushy good paying jobs machine for unemployable leftards.

yup hes a fucking nutter loser like candace owens, started out fine and while they were “under control” they both came across as good level headed people… but once free and doing their own thing they become more derranged by the day.

The trouble with “capitalism” is that human nature interferes with the principles of property rights, free trade, competition, and enterprise.
It’s human nature to want to game the system or to bend the rules in one’s favor.

Theoretically capitalism places emphasis on the individual & self-determination, socialism places the importance on the society as a whole, assisted by the government.

Practically, we look around us, then conclude that both have been replaced by corporatism.

I’ve long sought an answer to that conundrum. It’s almost as if the cretins who have slithered their way to the top of the corporate ladder have put it in the too hard basket.

The only counter argument I have read is along the lines of AI creating new jobs but failing to address the obvious sequitur that AI will replace them too.

Perhaps they have a good war planned to mop up the surplus humanity.

“When 200 magistrates say that there is an integrity issue in the justice system, things get very serious.”
In the post, he called for the public to share any material or evidence relevant to the issue and announced that on December 22, a public discussion with judges and prosecutors will be held.

Yes. The problem even AI will face is that the workshy & intellectually challenged are doing most of the breeding still going on. Poorly raised & uneducated masses are unlikely to be in a position to buy goods. Their modus operandi normally involves stealing them.

The idea of war to reduce population & demands on food & shelter is an 18th Century economic answer to peaks of population & troughs of economic activity. Eg.

#. “Of course, the need for concision meant that some of the finer details of Malthus’s analysis were lost, such as his explanation of the sequence in which checks were inclined to occur – with war, for example, stepping in to mop up the surplus numbers not extirpated by brutal customs in relation to women and children.”

https://www.manchesterhive.com/display/9781526166784/9781526166784.00016.xml

Undoubtedly the theory is economically sound but probably doesn’t endear itself to the intended cannon fodder.

The immediate problem is the global political denial as there is no historical evidence of a population falling below 2.1 children per female has ever recovered so we are facing a declining popultion for sure. The best course is to accept that global population will decline and re organise society so the lower population level is maintained.

Let’s imagine that robots (as in sci-fi) become a thing. Let’s assume that the robots are content to be our servants and not our masters. Let’s imagine that the human population crashes to under a billion. Will utopia be realized?

What is the point of life in perpetual luxury?

The struggle to improve, innovate, and grow is what makes us human.

In a luxurious utopia, there is no need to improve, innovate, or grow. It doesn’t seem like much of a future. More like a stagnation.

When one civilization stagnates, there is always another more hungry one waiting to take its place.

Maori demand they have a successful “Maori economy”. They have adapted to the modern business world to a point where they can stand on their own two feet without training wheels. They no longer need coddling. Time for them to function on a level playing field with the rest of the NZ business owners.

With the high percentage of Maori MPs it’s also time to cancel the Maori seats.

Sadly, you couldn’t do that ‘cos to do so would be ‘wacist’ – at least according to the Tamahere party, and if anyone tried to remove these suddenly all important seats, you can be very, very sure that ‘Maori’ would appear in their droves to support whomever is protesting about the proposed removal!

Maori’ will appear NOT because they agree about a removal, but (As was well-illustrated during the ‘Equality for all’ Bill fiasco), they will do so because it concerns ‘Maori’ and ‘solidarity’ is all’ in such situations – even if they have absolutely NO idea about what is being proposed, but are there ‘just because’ (And as a ‘subtext’, they might miss-out on any freebees going past – seriously)!

According to Howick weather the maximum gust today was 64km hr at 3.29pm. Was a bit scary at times, next door neighbor had a window frame which has been leaning against a wall for months when we have had a lot of high winds. Today it crashed over with a loud bang. Not exactly Armageddon but significant.

“On average, Wellington experiences 160 days a year with winds of 63 kph (39 mph) and above.”

Just another reason not to live in Wellington. The others being the politicians and the woke brigade.

It’s hard to believe those three events occurred on the same day. Let alone in the same country. The end times are nigh.

This arrived on my FB feed today.

Some will no doubt remember him.

RIP Garrick Tremain.

‘The Taxpayers’ Union today mourns the passing of Garrick Tremain, widely regarded as New Zealand’s finest and most influential political cartoonist of the contemporary era.
Jordan Williams, Executive Director of the Taxpayers’ Union, said:
“Garrick Tremain was a national institution. His intelligence, humour, and insight shaped political debate in this country for generations. He had an extraordinary talent for exposing hypocrisy and absurdity with a pen, and he did so fearlessly. His passing is a genuine loss to us, and to New Zealand’s political and cultural life.”
“For decades, Garrick’s work cut through political spin with intelligence, clarity, and unmistakable wit. His cartoons were never merely humorous; they were incisive, challenging, and often uncomfortable for those in power.”
“In recent years, we were honoured to count Garrick as a supporter of the Taxpayers’ Union. His financial support was generous, principled, and grounded in a shared belief that robust criticism is essential to a healthy democracy,” said Williams.
The Taxpayers’ Union extends its deepest sympathies to Garrick Tremain’s family and friends. His unique contribution to public discourse will be profoundly missed’.

Excellent article here on debunking the “global warming will cause the next Ice Age” hysteria.

“100 shades of irrelevantIf carbon dioxide doesn’t cause much warming in the first place, it can’t cause much cooling when it’s gone, and we know its minor. The hot spot has been missing for 20 years. Most of the warming effect of CO2 is supposed to come from amplification by water vapor in the upper troposphere, but we looked for decades and 28 million radiosondes didn’t find it. Until the climate modelers admit this, apologize and fix their models, their models won’t work. But we all know they can’t fix their models, because that might accidentally “solve” the climate crisis which would be a disaster for all the subsidy seekers.”
