Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t most sharemarkets near all time highs or rising, NZ is the notable exception and falling which is more to do with our crap economy and Government policies.

The Iranian factions believe one or all of them can negotiate, like haggling over the price of a carpet in a bizarre. Trouble for Iran is all of their leaders and the military have been killed and decimated, most of their infrastructure has been bombed and their oil wells are likely to be capped. There is nothing to negotiate with, nothing the US needs but the Iranians thought they could wait the Trump presidency out. That isn’t going to work but they still won’t submit.

There will be a few more strategic bombing raids by the US and Israel to reinforce it’s not getting better for them, there may be another attempt at negotiation but it is time and the only option is for Iran to admit defeat.

Trump has the co-ordinates where the B52 bombs dropped their loads down the underground shafts in the “Fire and Fury” bombing raid. The US has already said they will extract all the enriched uranium dust. That’s the major sticking point as the Iranian regime still wants their nuclear programme. Trump says a resounding NO, that will never happen.

He has to finish the job or the Iranian regime will rebuild their tyrannical empire.

The art of dealing. Ask for more than you want.

When the other side asks you to back down a little, and compromise, you get what you originally wanted, and the other side is happy because they ‘won’ a little, and got you to back down.

The problem for the IRGCis that they have very little to bargain with – Missiles depleting and no replacements/ Weapons grade Uranium they cannot access and the Strait blockade by Trump means nothing in or out that would help. Reports suggest that Iranian people have started providing IRGC with first and final flying lessons form tall building as their journey to greet Allah commences. Nothing mentioned about their water shortage as IRGC die form thirst and Disease like everyone else so will these stone age r soles surrender or die and inflict the same on ordinary people.

ACK KEANE: “WE ARE ON THE BRINK OF AMERICA COLLAPSING IRAN…”
A Moment of Pressure: How Supporters of Maximum Leverage View the Iran Crisis
There are moments in international politics when events seem to narrow into a single question: what happens when pressure becomes unsustainable? In the discussion reflected in this transcript, that question sits at the center of the conversation about Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, economic coercion, and the possibility that sustained external pressure could force major political change inside the country.
The speakers present the situation as a turning point. In their view, Iran is facing a level of pressure unlike anything it can manage for long. They argue that time is no longer working in Tehran’s favor. Instead, they claim the combination of military threat and economic restriction is steadily stripping away the regime’s room to maneuver. What they describe is not simply a battlefield contest, but a confrontation built around leverage: who can endure more, who has fewer options, and who will be forced to give way first.
At the heart of their argument is the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most strategically important waterways in the world. For decades, it has been seen not only as a vital route for global energy flows, but also as a symbol of Iran’s regional influence. In this telling, the Strait is more than geography. It is power, money, and survival. The argument in the transcript is that once Iran loses practical control over that lifeline, everything else begins to weaken with it.
The speakers frame a blockade as the decisive factor. They argue that if Iran cannot move oil efficiently, it cannot sustain the economic machinery that underpins the state. Revenue begins to dry up. Financial stress deepens. Internal obligations become harder to meet. A government that depends on resources to maintain order, reward loyalty, and project strength starts to encounter a very different reality. In their view, this is not an abstract theory of state pressure but a direct line from restricted exports to internal instability.
From that premise, the conversation moves to a broader claim: that economic collapse may achieve what years of negotiation and intermittent confrontation did not. The speakers suggest that Iran does not want a renewed and expanded military conflict, but also cannot withstand prolonged economic strangulation. If that is true, then the logic of negotiation changes. Instead of bargaining between two actors with competing leverage, they see the moment as one in which Iran would be negotiating from a position of severe weakness.
That shift in leverage is what gives the conversation its tone of certainty. The speakers do not describe a diplomatic process built on mutual concessions. They describe a demand structure in which one side, having lost its footing, is expected to surrender nearly everything of strategic value. In their framing, the time for compromise has passed. They reject relief measures, financial accommodation, or symbolic gestures meant to preserve dignity. What matters to them is not helping the regime save face, but ensuring that pressure is converted into maximum compliance……
To be continued in the comments.

Water is far more powerfule than any Military or economic force – no water death in 7-10 days and no bullets fired, disease likewise but slower, The Mullahs and IRGC have inflicted the pain and human reaction is usually revenge and hopefully the IRGC and other enablers will recieve a large helping of revenge and retribution of the same variety they dished out, hopefully Iran will never forget or allow a similar situation to arise again.

Australia’s ‘richest garbo’ pushes mega incinerator
Australia’s “richest garbo” is pushing ahead with plans for the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest waste incinerator – despite claims it could become “the Pacific’s ashtray”.
The massive $1.4 billion, 900,000-tonne-a-year proposal comes almost eight years after a similar – but smaller – plan was rejected in New South Wales following sustained community opposition and regulatory scrutiny.

The Chinese are building plenty of these. Maybe not as big but some plants are taking rubbish from other cities, as their plants are not operating at capacity.

They tried getting something similar out at Marsden Point a few years ago. It was some kind of closed cycle system from Germany. It could burn pretty much anything including flock mud and leave virtually nothing behind. Not sure why it didn’t go ahead apart from being horrendously expensive. The interesting part is the same company also made coal burning power plants that put out next to no pollution. Why don’t we just get one of them and put half of the lower South Island through it?

Muldoon tried, of course, with Marsden A & B, which were to be coal-fired, but that got stopped.

Marsden is a great place to do this. deep water which allows shipping junk into the place, rail coming to take Auckland’s rubbish, and more importantly, the heat can be used to fire turbines to produce electricity.
Meremere power station was another place, but it got stopped.

Too much money invested in holes in the ground.

Sweden, as per usual, is the world leader at this. They buy in shiploads of rubbish to burn, and that applies heating to the town.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DAeWcFoCU_WA&ved=2ahUKEwiSo8Xq5v-TAxXerlYBHc5jAToQkPEHegQIGBAB&usg=AOvVaw0wF4d4NeZklNmMj9-67Smu

Sweden operates a highly efficient waste-to-energy (WTE) system, incinerating roughly 50% of its household waste to generate electricity and district heating, with less than 1% sent to landfills. Using around 34 specialized plants (such as Sysav) that burn trash at high temperatures, the country powers over 1.2 million homes and heats nearly 950,000 households. 
Key aspects of Sweden’s rubbish burning facilities include:

  • Waste Imports: Due to extreme efficiency, Sweden imports approximately 2 million tonnes of waste annually from other countries to fuel its plants.
  • Minimal Landfilling: Only about 1% of household waste ends up in landfills, with 49% recycled and 50% converted into energy.
  • Process: Non-recyclable waste is burned to generate steam, driving turbines for electricity, while advanced filtration systems reduce toxic emissions.
  • Environmental Impact: While the process produces CO2, it is regarded as a better alternative to methane emissions from landfills.
  • Economic Benefit: The incineration sector acts as a profitable, circular system, providing The Nordic Co-operation (nordics) a, model for converting waste into Reasons to be Cheerful energy.
  • Major Facility: The Sysav plant in Malmö, for example, handles around 600,000 tons of waste per year, covering 60% of the city’s heating needs.

Marsden A was a 250 MW oil-fired power station near the Marsden Point Oil Refinery at Marsden Point, Ruakaka, Northland, New Zealand. The facility was previously owned and operated by the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand and Mighty River Power.
The power station was proposed by the Power Planning Committee in 1964,[1] with the Ministry of Works seeking contractors for construction in January 1965.[2] The two 120 MW turbo-generators were provided by Allgemeine Elektricitats-Gessellschaft, and the boilers by Babcock & Wilcox and Goldie-McCulloch.[3] It was built between 1964 and 1966 and commissioned in 1967.[4] When

They had an open day at the Marsden A power station just before they pulled it down and shipped it to India. There is a pipeline running from the refinery to the power station which carried the oil which was going to fire it. Apparently it looked like and had a similar consistency to vegemite. The boiler for the turbines was the height of a ten story building and was hung from the roof. At the bottom was basically a large gas ring. The oil was heated up till it became a gas and away she went. The boiler was designed to stretch 2oo mil when it was heated. The turbines were at the top and were never installed – a very fancy piece of kit to have a look at. All the old fashioned phone systems and everything else was still in place. The great part about the tour was it was run by the engineers etc that built the place so you got all the inside information on everything. Marsden A and B were the last of the think big projects and the people who had worked on these projects had nowhere else to go so a heap of them ended up living in the area and working for places like the refinery. Many of them are still here to this day. Marsden B which is just down the road was used for quite a few years, it did generate power but was used more as a giant sub station and distribution point for everything north of here. Back in the early 2000’s Helen Clark wanted to run a bucket system from Northport to bring coal in to run the power station, I’m told it would have been an easy conversion but it was very unpopular with the locals and was eventually dropped.

….”Apparently it looked like and had a similar consistency to vegemite.”…..

Heavy fuel oil aka bunker fuel. It’s what ships run on when they’re at sea as opposed to the diesel they use in port to keep pollution to an acceptable minimum. Basically it’s what’s left after the cracking process. Has to be kept warm or it congeals into an immoveable mass.

When the Rena took its final shortcut through the Astrolobe reef in 2011 the chickens without heads ran about the place screeching about the fuel oil that was going to decimate the fish & birdlife. Instead what they found on the shore were big clumps of black goo that had congealed in the cold water.

For those that don’t know much about history here is a condensed version:

Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunters/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer & would go to the coast to live on fish & other seafood in the winter.

The two most important events in all of history were the invention of beer & the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundations of modern civilisation & together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1. Socialists (the Left)
2. Coalition supporters (the Right).

Once beer was discovered, it required grain & that was the beginning of agriculture. Neither the glass bottle nor aluminium cans were discovered yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed.

Some men spent their days tracking & killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Right.

Other men who were weaker & less skilled at hunting learned to live off the Right by showing up for the nightly BBQs to do the sewing, fetching & hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Left.

Some of these socialist men eventually evolved into women. Those became known as girlie-men. Some of their noteworthy achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of nasal inhalation therapy, group hugs & the concept of social welfare to decide how to divide the meat & beer that the Right provided.

Modern socialists like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu & French food are standard Lefty fare. All vegans are of the Left. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, lawyers, politicians, bureaucrats, journalists, actors & group therapists are socialists. Usually to be found kissing women’s feet while begging for a charity fuck.

Centre Right supporters drink domestic beer. They eat red meat & still provide for their women. Supporters of the Right are big game hunters, farmers, truck drivers, forestry employees, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots & generally anyone who works productively. Many own companies & employ those who want to work for a living.

Socialists produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers & decide what to do with the production. They crept in after the hard work of developing NZ & created a business of trying to get more for nothing.

Here ends today’s lesson of our history.

Australian company plans $3b lignite-to-fertiliser plant in Southland

An Australian-led project could see Southland’s lignite, or brown coal, reserves developed into urea fertiliser.
Victorian Hydrogen is proposing a $3 billion plant to be located 30km northeast of Invercargill.
The company says it could deliver 1.5 million tonnes a year of urea fertiliser, making New Zealand’s agricultural sector fully self-sufficient.
Urea created using natural gas is by far the most widely traded fertiliser in the world, and while New Zealand produces some locally, the bulk is imported.
Victorian Hydrogen’s plan would involve building a facility that can turn the Southland lignite into gas that can then be transformed into urea.
Executive director Allan Blood said it was a proven technology that was already being used in a new plant commissioned in Zambia in late 2025.
Blood expected the project, which would not involve acquiring farms, would seek fast track consenting approval.
He said environmental management would be central to the project’s design and the company was committed to mitigating greenhouse gas impacts before the project proceeded.
Former government-owned company Solid Energy investigated a similar lignite-to-gas plan in Southland but dropped the idea in 2013.

Meanwhile, Greenpeace condemned the proposal, saying it would worsen climate change and further contaminate drinking water.
Of course they did. wankers.

They better either partner up with Ngai Tahu or grease their palms or it’s dead in the water.

Not before time, if it leads to the demise of the organisation the world will be a better place.

You WON’T BELIEVE what Trump JUST FOUND.

The Iranian flagged ship that attempted to run the US blockade and stopped by a shot through the engine room wall has been found by the boarding party to be carrying sodium perchlorate, an ingredient in the manufacture of ballistic missiles. The ship was captained by a member of the IRGC.
