Unfortunately.
Even if she was just misguided, one would think she would pull her head in and find a janitor’s job or of bugger off somewhere where she could survive without the taxpayer subsidising her life.
That the university still employs her tells us a lot about them and, in particular, their search for the truth.
Maybe some of the top dogs there need their principles sorted.
Some could argue Hitler was “misguided”….
High on meth apparently. A raving looney
Nah he was a religious nutter who got consumed by the religious and heinous minds of his crowd.
Wow, this is a game-changer from ACT.
Their new energy policy.
Very impressed.

I will watch the full video later Viking, but the comments suggest they haven’t convinced many so far.
Well, there’s plenty that are to think to understand, and there’s plenty who come on there and attack everything that ACT suggests.
Happens all the time.
There’s a lot to like in what they are suggesting.
Give people the freedom to choose, and unlike the nats decide for them.
My initial post was only commenting on those who posted a point about the video.
Having now watched it I agree there are some good point’s in what Simon Court is saying.

Nicola Willis this week hit on two great crowd-pleasers for the 2026 election. Cut people’s taxes. Take on the supermarkets.
Tell voters they can keep more of their pay packet while promising to take a regulatory baseball bat to the supermarket duopoly and you have, at least in political terms, a pat answer to the cost-of-living squeeze.
Yes, the Finance Minister is being cute. But an election is looming.
What about the other markets where New Zealanders are being squeezed? The galloping insurance bills; so too for electricity, gas, mortgage payments, building costs – so it goes on.
New Zealand’s grocery sector is highly concentrated and the Commerce Commission has spent years examining whether competition is sufficient.
But why does Willis’ swinging baseball bat stop short at the New Zealand-owned supermarkets? Why smash up the Kiwi-owned chains and not Australian-owned Woolworths?
Why put a higher value over the property rights of investors in the Australian-listed Woolworths above those of the local owners who belong to a supermarket co-operative?
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/economy/nationals-tax-cut-talk-and-supermarket-break-up-plan-fail-to-tackle-wider-cost-of-living-issues-fran-osullivan/premium/NZMHGTCKQZCS3PPGGAXYKWN4VI/
The answer, because she is a dipshit, light-weight, stupid woman.
End of story, and the Nats are just about all the same mould.
The REAL reason of course is she is #3 on the list and knows they’ve pissed off the voters so much she will miss out being slipped back in on the list.
Dressing for success and putting on shiny lipstick hasn’t changed the fact she is a desperate, useless commie hack. Panic time.

s Nicola Willis Desperate? Maurice Williamson & Jordan Williams on National’s Supermarket Policy
National’s surprise intervention in the supermarket sector has sent shockwaves through political and business circles. On this episode of Duncan Garner: Editor-in-Chief, we sit down with former National Party MP Maurice Williamson and Jordan Williams from the New Zealand Taxpayers’ Union to pull back the curtain on what is really happening behind caucus doors.
Most towns only have 1 woolworths but have maybe 2 new world/ pnsave and a couple of 4 squares , they are all co-op so not hard to split them in theory.
The commerce commission approved the buying up of independent supermarkets ‘Foodtown’, ‘Big Fresh’, etc by Aussie Woolworths or whatever they called themselves at the time. Will Willis bring back the CC to review how to undo the duopoly they created? //
You haven’t thought this through, have u.
Why foodstiffs. Why not banks, power companies, water suppliers, farm co-ops? The list is endless and what about people’s property rights and rights of association?
There’s a long list, including many govt. services.e.g. your pension or your medical, your choice of medicines.
Fill in the list.
I’m not saying it should happen but that is what the simpletons will be looking at
And then there is banking. If concentrated markets are the problem, why is banking somehow different? New Zealanders borrow money to buy houses.
Businesses borrow money to invest. Farmers borrow money to buy land and equipment. The cost of capital runs through virtually every part of the economy.
So if National is going to campaign on competition, where is the equivalent political heat on bank competition?
The major banks have enormous balance sheets, established customer bases, sophisticated funding operations and formidable barriers protecting their market positions.
National cannot credibly present itself as the party of fiscal responsibility and competition while treating tax cuts and selective attacks on corporate concentration as though they exist in separate universes.
Over on newsquawk there is an article about a bottle of pentabarbinol, a drug used for euthenising cats dogs being stolen from a car in North Auckland. Can’t find anywhere called Glendowie up this way. They must have borrowed Stuffs map book.

Coronation Street legend Stephanie Cole has died at the age of 84.
The actress, who played Sylvia Goodwin in the ITV soap from 2011 until 2013, lost her years-long battle with Alzheimer’s disease on Friday morning, her agent John Grant confirmed.
“Stephanie was an extraordinary talent whose long and distinguished career included many iconic performances in theatre and television.

She can now annoy Graham Crowden (Tom) in the next life.

Good article for Nasska and other religious skeptics.
https://www.skeptic.com/article/the-psychology-of-being-spiritual-but-not-religious/
Nice try but “being spiritual” as opposed to religious means you’ve left your brains out on the back step & found God but you can’t be arsed getting out of bed & going to church on Sunday.
But the psychology of
gullibilityreligious belief has been over-complicated by university educated fruitcakes. It started because a group of simple goat herders realised that they couldn’t comprehend a whole lot of shit like infinity & eternity & when some con artist with floppy arms turned up waffling about “God” ™️ having all the answers it seemed easier just to go along with the flow.So long as they paid money to the priests & let them sexually abuse their children while dictating society’s morals all was well.
Until the naive fools died & discovered that instead of 70 virgins or everlasting bliss there was actually a Great Nothingness & their denial of reality had been a waste of time!
Very interesting and certainly one I could subscribe to.
But then I am a sceptic most of the time, or rather inquisitive enough to question why things are what they are, or could they be better or different.
Believing most of the garbage in the MSM is a good reason to be a sceptic.
The world isn’t and has never been a status quo; it’s always changing.
It’s the religious that want to preserve the status quo, as it preserves their power group. Hence the Euros and the Vatican.
Talking about turkeys.

Trump bans CNN, other media from White House ‘effective immediately’
US President Donald Trump says he is banning news outlets CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House, accusing them without specifics of reporting “fiction and lies”.
Trump added that “other Fake News Media Outlets to follow” but did not say which.
“I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW … and Politico … from the White House as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!” Trump said on his Truth Social network.
Trump did not say what had prompted the ban but added that “media Outlets shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States, the Trump Administration, or the United States of America”.

Two Irish farmers are walking down a road towards the pub, after a long days work, when they hear a motorcycle behind them. They are totally shocked to find that when the bike passes them, the biker is headless. The two men look at each other and shrug.
They continue down the road because the call of the pub is getting stronger. As they go, a cyclist comes up behind them and, on passing them, he too is seen to be headless. The two old men shake their heads and continue to walk down the road.
After a few minutes, Mick, who’s walking along the inside, turns to his companion and says: “You know what Shamus, I be thinkin’ dat maybe you should be carryin’ dat dere scythe on yer other shoulder”.

Donald Trump For President
3 hours ago ·
From POTUS: “BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States!
At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America.
Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval.
For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation.
This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People.
We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction.
This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it!
This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
President DONALD J. TRUMP”
Dang another one down.
SB will be ranting over this one
Excellent. So the status quo. With trimmings. Winning Biggly again Just waiting for a name change. Isle of America. You saw it first here…..
The Danes only wanted Greenland, to be an empire when they could achieve 100% rule & control of the natives, & could do it very cheaply.
…. some 12 years old and younger ….. [adult size fitments were used]
…..not told details about the procedure, or did not give their consent. ….
…..Danish authorities last year said as many as 4,500 women and girls—–
— reportedly half the fertile women in Greenland at the time — received IUDs between the 1960s and mid-1970s. ….
….. policies included the removal of young Inuit children from their parents to be given to Danish foster families for reeducation and controversial parental competency tests that resulted in the forced separation of Greenlandic families. ….

An admission of this only came in 2025.
…”We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction.”…
The people of Greenland will be introduced to McD’s 🍔🍟
Not to mention all those Rare Earth Minerals just waiting to be mined. Will push up the value of my many shares in an Aussie mining company
Good times ahead.
do you think trump can magically move a couple million cubic kilometres of ice to mine the place?
They are mining there already. Not all of Greenland is thick, unlike someone.
BBC telling British public to start preparing for war. Is this what they have planned for us next?
“In a sense it’s now a bit like those Edwardian summers before 1914, when there was a lot of talk of war but the notion of actually going to war seemed so far-fetched as to be beyond belief and I think that’s where we are at the moment,” says retired British General Sir Richard Shirreff, a former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe.”

well lucky for them theyve had a flood of military aged men that are jobless and getting paid to do fuck all.
draft them fuckers first, give them a sharpened stick and send em into battle.
If the call goes out to sign up, it would be sensible for many women to join the ranks going overseas as the alternative would be to stay home with a migrant.

And nobody can take that away from us.

This is an interesting short video outlining what is going on with some of the AI “stories” and who is behind it.

theyre trying to get it regulated enough so its too hard/expensive for new comers but the main reason is to get open source ai banned as its a massive threat to the big tech profits and their domination of the space.
expect the fear mongering and false flags etc until said regulation occurs.
Is this version of AI better, an alternative way of doing this.?
AI Doesn’t Need Giant Data Centers — So Why Are They Building Them?
https://youtu.be/erkuakBRpiM
1hour 04 minutes : Sep 16, 2026 : Daniel Horowitz & Blaze TV
Everything you’ve heard about the debate over AI and data centers is built upon a false choice.
Not only do we not need a centralized cloud-based AI strategy built upon thousands of hyperscale data centers, but it is holding us back from cheaper, more efficient distributed AI technologies.
I’m joined by computer scientist and AI expert Jay Valentine, VP of Operations at Fractal Computing, who explains why the future of technology is distributed, localized, edge and sovereign AI —
—- technology that can run on existing computers and hardware while being dramatically cheaper, faster, more private, more secure and less vulnerable to centralized points of failure.
Valentine explains why AI is fundamentally a powerful pattern-recognition technology rather than the sentient superintelligence often portrayed in the media,
and demonstrates how sophisticated applications can be moved away from massive centralized data centers and onto distributed systems.
AI is NOT synonymous with ChatGPT,
and if the president only understood that, he’d realize that he’s the one putting us at a disadvantage with China.
The speed of tech innovation seems to be in leap frog motion.
Has it become really who will have control, & profit by it, & over how & who is it applied to?
Or could it be that the mega data centres are needed to store the personal details of the Earth’s citizens. Medical records, bank details, health records, employment histories all require storage facilities.
But when you intend to track peoples’ every movement, every contact, every email, phone call, text, where they went & who they met & maybe their thoughts then massive centralised data storage is vital.
A bit like Invercargill or Hobsonville or……..
I wonder if this planned data centre is part of that scare campaign? 40m high ‘Devon Monster’.

King Charles Launches Sneak Attack Against Trump:
The British A.I. Doom Plot to Destroy America
https://youtu.be/NO0A2ipLX7M
12 minutes 50 secs : 18 September 2026 : Promethian Overviews : Mike Steger
King Charles, President Trump, Anthropic, artificial intelligence, H.G. Wells, and American reindustrialization collide in the battle over who will control the future of AI. ….
…. examines reports that King Charles convened leading artificial intelligence executives for a private summit in Scotland.
…. the timing of the gathering alongside warnings from prominent AI researchers, growing calls for regulation,
President Trump’s response, and the widening debate over the future of the technology.
Mike connects today’s battle over AI with the ideas of British thinkers H.G. Wells and Bertrand Russell,
examining their arguments for international governance, population control, and leadership by a powerful scientific and technical class.
Mike argues that the central question is whether artificial intelligence will be controlled by governments and powerful institutions
or opened to the American people as a tool for industry, creativity, productivity, and national development.
Who are these people working for?

UK GOVERNMENT URGES HOUSEHOLDS TO STOCKPILE FOOD AND WATER FOR POTENTIAL WAR WITH RUSSIA
The UK government is advising households to keep basic supplies of food and water at home as part of preparations for potential emergencies, including war with Russia, cyberattacks and extreme weather, according to the BBC.
War with Russia and extreme weather in the same sentence. FFS. Who the fuck is running the UK at the moment? Putin considers the UK as a mere irritation in terms of adversaries. They have no credible navy, an army they could fit in a football stadium and a few planes that could be meddlesome. A will to fight?, Forget it. The days of “lets defeat the Argies” are well and truly over. UK government would be more concerned over housing illegal immigrants than preparing for war, which they would inevitably lose against the Russians. Think Trump is going to help them? Please.
Lucky they’ve got all those fighting age men arriving constantly on their shores, I’m sure they’ll be the first to volunteer to fight for their new country.//
Push comes to shove, they would all go back to their place of origin. Might be some dastardly plan to get them all to remigrate back home.
Might be a safer place than the UK if they continue to poke the Russian bear.
