Something to think about. This bloke, Frank Wright, has burst onto the scene in the last few days following an accidental interview in the street which went absolutely viral.

Hate crimes…

Is it morally wrong to hate evil?

Reply to  Odakyu-sen

Need to define “hate” and “evil” .Both are more difficult than first appears. Does evil “exist” ? We know bad things happen, like murdering a baby. But is a person who murders a baby of sound mind? Therefore does that make it evil? Evil is often defined as an absence of good. Can you hate an absence? Does one hate the person or the action of the person? Are there totally absolutely evil people? Or just mentally fucked up people? Hate is not necessarily the opposite of love. I’d argue that indifference is the opposite of love. Just thoughts…

Never.
BUT what is evil in one person’s eyes is apparently acceptable in another’s.

Utu, Hamas, CIA, MI6, Muslim extremism, and not meaning to offend, but the Japanese during the wars they have engaged in and the Chinese and their behavoir.
Then, of course, there are the Catholics.
Most of the first group is involved in Ukraine, accelerating the war, killing people.

And of course our own Phizser followers. One could only describe them as worse than evil, but they remain in charge of our medicines and health service. which is evil and is a disgrace.

So

Should have burned more heretics. However, I am feeling compassionate today, so maybe just a beheading. Still can’t work out why there is so much hatred of Catholics in today’s society. Last time I checked we had not stabbed anyone, blown up a train or flown a plane into a building. However, you are absolutely entitled to your view.

…..”can’t work out why there is so much hatred of Catholics in today’s society”……

Because your lot can’t stop trying to force the Godless into living the way your Skydaddy wants us to. The concept of live & let live doesn’t come easy to religious fanatics.

Instance this humble atheist out for a walk when he encounters a group of weirdoes In sackcloth & ashes crawling along the footpath stopping to bang their heads on the concrete every ten metres. I would merely note that the local Catholic ladies prayer group were on their way back from confession & pay them no heed.

Contrast this with the intolerant Leftfooters whose immediate reaction to seeing a person suffering intolerable pain trying to exit life or a group enjoying the use of marijuana is to race off to their political party (aka National) & get a fistful of new oppressive laws enacted.

To a Libertarian an intense dislike of the Catholic Church is a reflex survival instinct.

For one who could not, & probably still can not keep his pants on. 😏

Who can be like Christ; when one can be considered the kindly Saint Gandhi.

[W]hen he was in his 70s and close to leading India to independence, he encouraged his 17-year-old great-niece, Manu, to be naked during her “nightly cuddles” with him.
After sacking several long-standing and loyal members of his 100-strong personal entourage who might disapprove of this part of his spiritual quest, Gandhi began sleeping naked with Manu and other young women.
He told a woman on one occasion: “Despite my best efforts, the organ remained aroused.
It was an altogether strange and shameful experience.”
https://faculty.som.yale.edu/jameschoi/gandhi-the-non-saint/#:~

Gandhi demurred, saying women should resist their husbands, while men should try to curb “animal passion”. He told his visitor that sex should be only for procreation.

In a homogeneous culture, people can more clearly define what is good and what is evil.

If I was a ruler who wanted to do evil things, I would not want my nation’s population to be homogeneous.

(Mind you, Japan was very homogeneous 90 years ago but that didn’t stop its military junta from doing evil stuff, so homogeneity alone is not enough.)

Hitlers are not the thing anymore, unless you are thinking of the Nazi dictator in the Ukraine. No, the west has smiling assassins. And we had our own smiling assassin as a female PM. BOB in the USA – Bush, Obama, Biden. Carney, Macron, Starmer, and the list goes on. They say what people want to hear, smile, and talk kind, but they do evil in the background.

Trump is outspoken, cleaning up corruption, cutting or stopping funding to NATO, WHO, stopping the medicare fraud, funding overseas fraud, etc etc.

With Trump, you know where you stand.

Iran is a example. Historically Iran would leave the USA alone, so long as BOB kept paying Iran with taxpayers money, and no doubt skimming off money for themselves on the way through, and allowing immigration of undesirables.

Under BOB, the USA paid Iran somewhere around a $trillion, perhaps a lot more, none of which went on roads, schools or homes in Iran. It went on the war machine. Which made Big Munitions wealthy. Along with Big Pharma, Big Tech etc.

Trump is not the problem. He is highlighting and stopping the fraud.

News this week that Australia’s Fair Work Commission had announced a 6% increase in the Australian minimum wage and a 4.75% increase in the “Award” wage weighed heavily on JB Hi-Fi and other retailers.
Both increases were above market expectations and, importantly, above the inflation rate.
“This is likely to have a material impact on costs for Australian businesses including retailers and hospitality operators,” Robbie Urquhart, Fisher Funds senior portfolio manager – Australian equities, said.
JB Hi-Fi’s share price, for example, sank on the news. While it has recovered some ground, the stock – at A$53.53 – is down 15.5% in the year to date.
The Fair Work Commission’s announcement follows last month’s Australian Budget, which landed “like a lead balloon” for the major Australian banks, Urquhart said.
“Significant taxation legislation changes affecting particularly property investors is expected to impact house prices and demand for property investment loans,” he said.
“This could slow credit growth and hence bank earnings growth.”
Bank share prices fell between 1-5% each over May, weighing on the Australian sharemarket performance.
“The inflationary impact of rising labour costs is likely to add to the pressure on Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Michele Bullock to keep lifting interest rates, even if the domestic economy continues to slow down,” Urquhart said.
“This is indeed a challenging environment for Australian businesses.”

As once on a benefit, then heeding the economic call to have everyone on a Universal Benefit for Income UBI, it does seem logical that it needs some other form of tax, on a resource that others do not benefit from.

After all the ones who own land obtain the benefit of free sunshine, rain, to turn into their profits, while socialising the losses, like droughts & floods to the community.

So to bring equity for the land-less it is only right that the landowners should be taxed on those free resources.
A tax that helps the community, to share in equity to the landless ones.

What government can resist that subversion, to have a money flow, particularly as it eventually becomes a major vote winner for any politician.

It has become one of the “globalist” ways.
The global order, that the likes of Helen Clark spouts on, International Rules Based Order, like how Bush, Obama, Biden, Kamala Harris, UN-WEF António Guterres.
Woe betide any one who challenges the “globalist” controls & ways.

No decision yet by the police whether to press charges on the home owner as they need to investigate.
I guess the legality of even having a fire arm, was he licenced, was the gun registered, secured in approved storage, unloaded, separate ammunitions, etc., etc..
Somewhere a charge has to be put against the home owner.

At least he was lucky not to be cuffed by the police, for the police protection & his protection as a shot had been fired that created a victim of that gun.

Being severely wounded took one of the options for not being a self defence case of not being able to leave the house.
—- —– —– —-
One of our home invasion issues in NZ., was why did not the home owner leave his rural house to be outside in safety?
After being bashed on the head that smashed a full bottle of wine, while sleeping.

Fortunately it was pointed out by a First Aider that there were other suspicious cars driving past on that road, & even they did not feel safe.
So possibly other supporters, of the attacker, possibly more tooled up, could have hunted him..

Then the fact of “brandishing” a fire arm as a threat, to get them to lie down on the floor. He never did fire that gun either as a warning or into.
Other actions were taken to keep the invader down.

The legal fees to defend his case, & be acquitted were horrendous.
The police probably will not, as probably there will be some public reaction.

As so often, the Aussie case shows that where seconds count, the police were minutes or more away.

The rapid increase in turbo cancers is well know to everyone since the rollout of the mRNA, and is certainty enough. The very makeup of the various main “Covid Vaccine” batches that have been analysed are enough to tell you that cancer would be a by-product.

Now I know the usual will scream show us the proof…

The usual need “proof” because they don’t understand, don’t research, and can’t accept that evil people do exist. But even when you give them irrefutable proof, they don’t accept it, because they have already made up their mind, and don’t want to face reality.

The Trump administration has reportedly been warned by the US oil industry that the impasse with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz is draining inventories to the point where global energy prices could surge by the end of the month.

“We’re at dangerously low levels already,” one industry executive, speaking about fuel storage tanks around the world, told Politico. “We have shared those concerns at the highest levels of government about what’s coming in mid-to-late June … I hope they are paying attention to inventories right now. You’re hitting tank bottom.”

The possibility of Iran developing a nuclear weapon is now higher than it was before the United States and Israel first attacked the country in February, the International Atomic Energy Agency has concluded in a report. The conclusion suggests the war has so far resulted in the opposite of what President Trump set out to do, namely, prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon.

For Ed. Grok comparison of nitrates bewteen Beetroot and radishes.

Radishes have a higher nitrate content than beetroots, on average.

Nitrate Comparison (per 100g fresh weight)VegetableTypical Nitrate ContentRange (from studies)RadishHigher625 – 2,132 mg/kgBeetrootLower495 – 1,306 mg/kg

Key Takeaways

  • Radishes consistently rank among the vegetables with the highest nitrate levels, often higher than beetroot in head-to-head comparisons.
  • Beetroots are still very high in nitrates (especially the leaves/greens), which is why beetroot juice is popular for nitric oxide and blood pressure support. However, radishes usually edge them out on concentration.
  • Nitrate levels can vary significantly depending on:
  • Growing conditions (soil, light, fertilizer use)
  • Season (higher in summer)
  • Variety (red vs white radish)

A shipment of liquid petroleum gas (LPG) is now arriving weekly at Port Taranaki, as Liquigas flips its on-site depot from export to import to meet domestic demand.
The Liquigas depot at Port Taranaki was historically a LPG storage and export facility.
“As LPG supply reduced, the Port Taranaki facility was used less,” explains Liquigas chief executive Christo Janse van Rensburg.
“This trend has continued over time to the point that now it makes sense to import product to New Plymouth to meet North Island demand.”
The first of the planned weekly shipments arrived at Port Taranaki in May. Gaschem Odyssey unloaded LPG at Port Taranaki, having made previous stops at Christchurch and Dunedin.

I’m not too sure about what it is that Environment Southland actually do but whatever it is it’s about to get less reliable. Apparently the clowns have been testing BYD utes as replacements for the present diesels.

As https://www.odt.co.nz/southland/new-ute-broke-down-during-test-council points out the results were not exactly promising:

#. “A Southland council is gearing up to buy new hybrid utes despite one of the vehicles breaking down in the ‘‘middle of nowhere’’ during testing.”

#. “‘We were an hour and a-half from the road end into the middle of nowhere and the vehicle entered transport mode after the touchscreen locked up.”

Common sense is no match for ideology as the council general manager corporate services Patrick Ng said more conventional four-wheel-drive vehicles could be used in extreme cases and backed the BYD hybrid as a ‘‘positive addition’’ which would reduce emissions.

The Manage My Health breach of data security is still relatively fresh in our memories. Therefore the news that Privacy Commissioner Michael Webster is asking the Government to rewrite the Privacy Act so his office can impose serious financial penalties on agencies that fail to keep sensitive data safe may be less ominous than the normal NGO overreaches. Currently the penalty stands at a maximum of $10,000 & a telling off from the Commissioner.

From https://newswire.co.nz/2026/06/privacy-commissioner-fining-powers-data-breaches-2026/

#. “Australia has lifted its own maximum penalties for serious or repeated breaches into the tens of millions of dollars. Against those benchmarks a 10,000 dollar ceiling looks less like a deterrent and more like a rounding error.”

We are being forced to hand over more & more of our private details to government & private data gatherers. At minimum we need penalties that make securing that information a better option than skimping on protections.

The pressure will be on for another institution to pervert the course of justice.
Will they take in to account Ed’s above Doctor and how other practical paramedics would have treated Henry Novak?

…… the pathologist’s finding, as presented during the criminal trial, that by the time officers got on scene Nowak’s death was already certain to exculpate their officers for their behaviour at the scene.
Yet the county coroner implied in his remarks on Thursday that more facts are yet to be discovered, and said a new investigation would seek to ascertain whether the police “caused or contributed to death”.

Coroner Jason Pegg said should more facts be discovered during the course of the inquest that wouldn’t mean the pathologist’s report had failed in any way, as the purpose of the two examinations is fundamentally different and the inquest would look at broader factors surrounding the death. …..

….. the planned inquest is not due to take place until late 2027, the coroner was reported by the BBC to have said on Thursday morning that he “hoped” given the nature of the case it would be brought forward to another date. …..

Separating the simple idiots who ‘administer the taxpayer’s own venture capital fund’ from our money would be a piece of piss. His Maori name, Ratu Mataira, would have had the politically correct idiots kissing his feet while pressing sack-fulls of cash into the begging bowl.

But “to have convinced dozens of investors” would have involved displaying a bit more in the way of nous than “I’m Maori, give me the money” so I was inclined to think that he is, just maybe, onto something & at least it isn’t Kapa haka.

Then he spoiled it.

“Growing up for me, it became pretty apparent that climate change was the major issue of our time and if I could dedicate myself and my career to one goal, that was probably going to be it.

Farmers across New Zealand will soon participate in the 2026 Agricultural Production Survey. This article uses statistics drawn from several Stats NZ datasets to provide insights into trends in farmers’ employment, wellbeing, income, and other measures.
At a glance:

  • 1.8 percent of employed people were farmers as their main job in the March 2026 quarter
  • the number of farmers aged 65 and over increased 66 percent between 2013 and 2023
  • three-quarters (76 percent) of farmers were satisfied or very satisfied with their job in 2023
  • average annual personal disposable income for farmers was $67,214 in the year ended June 2025.

“Farming is a vital part of New Zealand’s culture and economy, with dairy, meat, and fruit exports accounting for over half the value of all goods exported in 2025,” agricultural statistics spokesperson Tehseen Islam said.
“Looking at data for the farmers and farm managers occupation group allows us to go beyond statistics for agricultural production and gain insight into what life is like for New Zealand farmers.”
Labour market statistics: March 2026 quarter reported that 1.8 percent of employed New Zealanders were farmers or farm managers as their main occupation.
Of the 51,900 farmers in New Zealand:

  • 53 percent were livestock or aquaculture farmers
  • 10 percent were crop farmers
  • 37 percent were mixed-crop and livestock farmers.

Farming is an ageing occupation
Data from the 2023 Census showed that an increasing number of farmers are continuing to work past the ageof 65.

School uniform costs are even more painful than they need to be for one reason: mandated monopolies where parents must buy branded items from a sole supplier.
Enter ACT’s Laura McClure with a simple proposition that works in Australia and Britain, and should be law here.
A school can stipulate three branded items to maintain the pride and identity of the school. But, everything else like socks, shorts, skirts, or polo shirts, must be generic and available from multiple suppliers.
It’s a simple, common sense policy that Laura put together after hearing the agony in parent chat every January. It is based on good economics, the way to get prices down is removing barriers to competition, not pretending politicians can just wish things better, but analysing the problem and taking practical steps to fix it. ACT will be campaigning to put it in place next year.

Or just do away with uniforms and have a dress code. No school I went to at any level had a uniform.

A North Island iwi estimated to owe the Department of Conversation (DOC) nearly $2m in campground revenue says it welcomes an external review.
RNZ revealed last week that DOC had launched an external investigation following concerns regarding relationships with iwi and processes such as procurement and debt management.
Documents released under the Official Information Act in April, obtained by RNZ, revealed that since 2021 Ngāti Kuri Trust Board has been awarded $4.6 million in funding, grants and service contracts.
From December 2018 the Board has retained revenue from Spirits Bay and Tapotupotu campgrounds. Then in 2021, they began retaining revenue from Rarawa as well.

DOC estimates it is owed $1.8m in “campsite revenue”.
“It is important to emphasise that Ngāti Kuri do not agree that the debt is owing. The extent of the debt and arrangement are subject to ongoing negotiation and discussion, which will form part of our internal review.”
Ngāti Kuri Trust Board invoiced $350,000 in campground management fees for the 2025 financial year which DOC has not paid. A further invoice was issued by the Board for the first two quarters of the 2026 financial year – worth nearly $200,000, which DOC has also not paid.
RNZ approached the Board for comment last week.
On Friday, a Ngāti Kuri Trust Board spokesperson said the Board “welcomes the Department of Conservation’s external review”.
“In the spirit of partnership, the Trust Board is committed to continuing to work with DOC and others, including assisting with the review.
“We are optimistic going into this about what can be achieved here and ultimately focused on ensuring Ngāti Kuri can continue to exercise its kaitiakitanga responsibility and ensure Treaty settlement commitments are upheld.”
The Board will not be making any further public comment while the review is underway, the spokesperson said.
In an earlier statement to RNZ DOC’s Deputy Director-General Public Affairs Sia Aston said DOC had completed an internal review which confirmed some of the concerns were valid “and we need to understand more about them.”
“We’ve agreed some immediate steps to lift our game on, including ensuring compliance with DOC’s established policies and procedures.
“We have also launched an external investigation to help us understand the full picture.”
Minister of Conservation Tama Potaka said in a statement to RNZ he was aware of the concerns that had been raised, and DOC had briefed him on the matter which was “operational and ultimately the responsibility of the Director-General”.
“I have confidence the Director-General is both taking the matter seriously and taking appropriate steps to get to the bottom of the issues so they can be fixed.
“I support DOC making sure the systems are in place to deliver their obligations under the Te Hiku settlements and ultimately be an honourable treaty partner.”

I was reading about the treaty last night. Even if there’s contention about the differences between the English version that’s generally accepted as the “legitimate” English version (rather than the Littlewood version which translates directly to the Maori version and vice-versa), a) Busby wrote that the Maori version was the SOLE version to be referred to , b) Maori at the time of signing clearly understood they were ceding sovereignty and c) the attendees at the Kohimarama Conference 20 years later reaffirmed the Treaty of Waitangi and pledged to recognise the Queen’s sovereignty.

I’m fucking sick of the pandering to the thieving cunts. No more. Disestablish the Waitangi Tribunal and tell the grifters to FUCK OFF.

I was considering not to post this “Rational [Douglas] Murray” as I detest AI in U tube clips, but it has put many of the points well.

But bearing in mind another probable attempt of the institutions perverting the course of Justice in Ed’s comment & thread earlier.
https://ysb.co.nz/have-your-say-773/#comment-479644

And how the Judge during the trial also attempted to pervert the course of justice as well as mentioned yesterday.

This vid is all AI but the points made are very to the point, & punchy.

Douglas Murray REVEALS The Khan-Starmer Plan To Silence Britain — And It’s Worse Than You Think
https://youtu.be/bImCy_rAuq0
13 mins : June 4, 2026 : The Rational Murray

What if it isn’t incompetence?
Douglas Murray pulls back the curtain on the Khan-Starmer political project —
— the institutional machinery, the coordinated media narrative, and the decade-long plan to silence ordinary British people.
From grooming gang cover-ups to blocked visas, from defunded pensioners to open borders,
Murray names what no mainstream outlet will:
—- this is not failure.
This is deliberate.
The strings are visible now.
The people pulling them are visible now.
And in a democracy, that changes everything.

00:00 — The question the entire media refuses to ask
02:30 — Khan and Starmer: the same playbook, two levels of power
05:00 — The institutional machinery built to silence dissent
08:00 — Grooming gangs, open borders and who really pays the price
11:30 — Why the plan to silence Britain has already failed

I would also include Tony Blair, then the many incompetents in the Tory Party setup & of course the academics pushing their hive collective multi culture ideologies deep into the education system, as our NZ Professor Spoonley skites about super diverse cities in New Zealand.

The push to have globalism subsume us, with no regard to freedom, liberty, to see an individual as a poison, to be eradicated.
