Has there been any word as yet from Bill English about the gigantic cock-up in co-sponsoring the UN anti-Israeli resolution, or is he still hoping the issue will blow away in the New Year wind?

It won’t, Bill, it won’t. It is simply festering.

  yes I was thinking the same thing. Why would a country as insignificant as NZ, bother to do such a stupid thing?
  The public deserve answers and it’s not going away.

    It may have escaped your notice that all the other members of the Security Council, with the exception of the US, voted in the same way as New Zealand. Leaving aside the morality of the whole thing, who would you rather piss off? The UK, France, Russia, China etc. or a small country in the Middle East? The vote was consistent with New Zealand’s position for years and I am astonished that so many people seem to be surprised by it. Why is it only now that you guys are getting up in arms? Was something so obviously important to you a mystery to you until now?

      It is the co sponsorship not the vote that is causing the uproar Fernglass. Aligning New Zealand with Communist Venezuala is unacceptable to most New Zealanders.
      
      Add to that the fact that McCully seems to have acted without Cabinet approval and the whole situation is untenable.

        Bullshit. There is no reason for NZ to automatically dissociate itself from any other SC member.
        I know Kiwibloggers are a bit obsessed with Venezuela, but this is about NZ’s foreign policy, which is very consistent with regards to Israel and Palestine.

        Whenever someone claims to know the thinking of “most New Zealanders”, I must say I step back a bit. Are you suggesting that in the case of any security council resolution on whatever topic, we should do the opposite of Venezuela, regardless of what the others do and indeed what our country’s considered position is?

        Yes there are lots of people that agree with the UN resolution. I understand the terrorist organisation Hamas is very supportive of it. They run Gaza now that the Israelis dismantled the settlements they had there. And Hamas showed their gratitude by ceasing all warlike activities against Israel!

      You lefties are all delusional that the issue is primarily about settlements. The issue is the UN set the starting point for any negotiations as sixty seven armistice lines and also never once mentioned the PAs emotional and financial support for terrorism

        So it comes down to nothing but cynical tactics? Pfft. That is not who we are. We aspire to be an honest broker. It is bullshit to say this UNSC resolution endangers Israeli security. Israeli legal sophistry to the contrary, the West Bank settlements are wrong. Nothing in this resolution absolves the PA of the need to end terrorism, and recognise Israel. All the apologists for Netanyahu’s policy can do is try and argue the timing is not propitious…for his and Likud’s policies. Well, yes…

        The UN has recognised the borders as those existing in 1949 and has not any time since changed its position. Thus its consistent opposition to any settlement building in areas occupied since 1967. Thus this has always been the starting point for peace talks – a fact recognised by both parties in peace efforts since 1967, from Oslo Accord on.

    I am deeply saddened to read in the media the vitriolic comments about the State of Israel.
    It is obvious that the comments are media led with no consideration to the history of the present day Israel.
    What is surprising is the people coming out of the woodwork- many of them have never made any comment all their lives but are being led by the media.
    When almost every other country from Pakistan westwards has avowed to annihilate the UN (League of Nations) legally constituted country of Israel.
    It could all be ended if these many countries, particularly those of formerly Transjordan, who now call themselves in the name of the State of Palestine would stop escalating war in the name of Islam. Stop sending in rockets and you can expect no retaliation.
    There is no such a state nor ever has been. of Palestine – it is a region once called Transjordan, but changed by the warring states surrounding Israel.
    Hit me on the nose and I will hit you back – stop that and i will not need to hit you back.

  Agreed, Nukuleka. Both English and (especially) McCully need to explain. The US’s change of approach in the use of its veto, in Obama’s final month in office, was not something in which NZ should have become implicated.

    Hillary would have printed more money for California irrespective that it is probably one of the most bankrupt states in the world along with many countries.
    Its indebtedness is one to be believed – makes New Zealand debts seem like a tadpole in a giant pond.
    And like all the USA it can never be settled.

  Turn back the clock and all the snowflakes were highly critical of Bush and the Republicans. Now it’s Obumma and the democrats very little is being said from the lefties.
  
  With Trump forging new alliance with different people this is sending a message that the old is out and there is a new sheriff in town. And he has a bigly 44 magnum.

  The Dept of Homeland Security and the FBI have now released a joint 13 page report which confirms the position that Russia was involved. That probably accounts for Trump’s recent backtracking, although he has promised to produce evidence on “Tuesday or Wednesday” that may show things in a different light. I will be interested to see it. As for seeing the evidence, of course Trump would have access to it if he bothered to have his security briefings, although it is probably too sensitive to be released to proles like us.

    Some interesting disclaimers at the beginning of that report.
    Look I don’t think there is any doubt that the Russians, Chinese and others actively engage in cyber espionage. They’ve been doing it for years.
    But I am sceptical about the DNC event. Wikileaks is adamant it wasn’t Russia. They are not known to lie.
    I reckon it’s more likely a leak, not a hack. There’s plenty of Bernie supporters inside the DNC who might have been motivated to leak, given the contents leaked…
    We will see. As for Podesta, a phishing attack? Really? Hardly sophisticated.
    Be interesting what Trump says.

        Lol, it’s quite interesting as it goes into the techniques used. The flow charts are good. And I’d happily concede it does point out those techniques are used by groups associated with the Russians. But they could also be used by anyone. I’m still wondering why Wikileaks state clearly the Russians didn’t give them the info. Assange is adamant about that.
        Maybe it’s a group which is independent and works with both?

      We can see a whole range of popular explanations from Kiwibloggers, ranging from “we love Putin” and “the CIA was wrong before” to “maybe it wasn’t a hack” and “Trump doesn’t believe it”.

        Actually, it counts for quite a lot that crooked Hillary got exposed. In a way it is immaterial who did it. If the media were an effective public watchdog the exposure might have happened long before, when it should have.
        
        (EDIT) It is all very well having the media on your side as a bunch of sycophants, but as time goes on, it means that the skeletons build up inside the closet and it becomes higher and higher stakes, seeing that your cover could be blown just as you are about to reach the pinnacle of your political achievements.

        It hardly matters who does it, the GOP and even Trump, stand no chance of keeping any secrets in this day and age. The difference is: will the mainstream media cover the leaks / hacked information? The answer is a big fat yes. In the case of Hillary or whoever their favourite messiah is, the answer is a big fat no, and it will depend on “new media” and social networking to get the facts out.
        
        If we consider the case for the invasion of Iraq, for example, the mainstream media certainly let no inconvenient secret go unexposed, and in fact over-reached in the direction of not covering stuff that supported Bush et al.

UN-Israel New Zealand position is shit. Talk about an elephant in the room. Israel won’t stop settlements until Jerusalem is a dedicated capital. Simple as that. All the posturing in the world won’t change this. New Zealand had a chance to get cock alongside Israel in December but failed miserably with the UNresolution which buddied NZ up with Senegal and fucking Venezuela!

  We’re obviously a member of the league of western nations still subscribing to politically correct pandering, eg to poor offended “other” cultures. If we were in Europe we would worship Frau Merkel and be getting overrun by refugees and New Years celebrations would have had episodes of mass rapes.

    Nations are being forced to choose, now that Americans have given this PC pandering the middle finger, who they are going to stand with. NZ – actually Vichy National – just stood with the O crowd’s last-minute sabotage of the incoming US anti-PC administration.
    
    This is a defining moment. NZ needs its own Trump, to deal with a whole host of PC cancers on which National has become part of the problem. Like the RINO’s in the USA.

Dave Armstrong in the DomPost today, has his opinion piece headed “3 cheers for a brave Murray McCully”.

This is exactly how the Vichy Nats have been running NZ – being guided by approval for their actions, from the PC media talking heads. “Trumpism” involves an awakening over this politics of expedience over principle.

        You are confusing the National Party’s role with what you think its role should be.
        Historically, this National government is no different to any of its predecessors: take what has been done by the previous Labour government and run with that.

Too funny.

One arm of gummint lets them in , only for another arm to have to control them .

“Juergen Mathis, Cologne police chief, rejected accusations that his officers had conducted “racial profiling”, arguing that many of the men detained had acted in an “aggressive” manner.”

    Allan Titford is the Nelson Mandela of NZ. Serving a long term for sticking up for the rights of white NZers oppressed by the apartheid system. And his discovery that whites are actually the indigenous people of NZ was intolerable to the globalists who control NZ’s government. He had to be put away and the ancient white city had to be destroyed

        “Farmer jailed 24 years for rape and arson”
        
        “A prominent Northland farmer and anti-Treaty activist has been jailed for 24 years on a raft of charges including rape and arson.
        Allan Titford was recently convicted by a jury and his name had been suppressed until Wednesday.
        
        In sentencing Titford at the Whangarei District Court, Judge Duncan Harvey said the 53-year-old had subjected his wife and family to violent abuse in a “reign of terror” that dated back to 1989.
        
        The judge said Titford has destroyed any chance they had of happiness with his explosive temper and repeated vicious assaults, including raping his wife.
        
        The court heard victim impact statements from his now ex-wife, Susan Cochrane, and three of his children who said they had lived in fear of daily beatings from Titford and were made to work like slaves on the farm…”

  There are people who have spent time in prison for crimes they did not commit. Two examples are Peter Ellis and Teina Pora. There are more. There are others whose convictions are very unsafe. I do not believe that Allan Titford is one of them. However, I suggest others judge for themselves after viewing the video I have linked to at the end of this post.
  
  I say those supporting Titford are undermining a very worthwhile lobby group namely Hobson’s Pledge. I hope those who disagree with me to view the video first.

    Thanks, Chuck, I will stay open-minded on this. I still think Titford’s experiences over his land, would unhinge a lot of good men. Like I said, there is a long story needing to be told. The left are very selective over who they show “compassion and understanding” to. Lotta violent people aren’t put away as efficiently as Titford has been.
    
    EDIT: I generally think John Ansell’s judgement is OK:

        By the way: what is your view on a victim of marital rape getting name suppression, and her husband going to jail as a “serial rapist”, period, as if he was the Parnell Panther? And even getting roughed up in the clink, because he is a “serial rapist”, it would be breaching the court order if he were to say “it was my wife, and she was withholding herself unreasonably”?

        to the point, how do you get a conviction for a marital rape at all, never mind one that supposedly occurred “on a date uncertain” in 1987?
        
        I believe that people should be able to be convicted of forced sex in marriage. However, it should be forced sex not a woman say she is tired or has a headache and giving in.
        
        The rape is just one thing. The idea that the 24 years was so outrageous does not help. I presume it was appealed. Does he expect the public to accept that level of political interference in the High Court and the CoA?
        
        There are cases of judges going soft on people in position of influence. However, they are rarely appealed. It is a different matter for a judge to give a extremely severe sentence due to government interference and for more government interference with the CoA.

    Putting Ellis with a dumb arse like Pora is not right. Pora confessed to a crime. The fact that he was too dumb to realise how stupid that was, is not the fault of plod.
    
    Ellis on the other hand was set up by the sisterhood at the time as a scapegoat for all that female vs male shit going down. All the lies told that resulted in ACC payment to all these lying bitches, would have to be paid back if Ellis was to be exonerated.
    This whole episode is a disgrace to our ~~justice~~ legal system.

      Anyone who thinks confessions are always reliable needs to look at the case of the unfortunate Timothy Evans.
      He was executed in London in the early 50’s after confessing repeatedly to the murder of his wife. It was established later he was covering for serial murderer John Christie

  JasonJohns, As far as I can tell Titford has not appealed either his conviction or his sentence. Do you know if he asked for leave to appeal either? I understand it is almost automatic that one gets to appeal sentence as they usually have nothing to lose. As you seem to know a lot about this case I am sure you will have the answers regarding appeal.

Shit stirring MSM at it again:

http://www.stuff.co.nz/world/americas/88077115/the-hitlerstalin-pact-led-to-world-war-ii-where-would-a-trumpputin-pact-lead

They are either vlueless – in which case they should be denied resources or they are deliberately tweaking the facts.

The Hitler-Stalin pact was a temporary deception by Hitler to prevent a Russian Front until he was ready. That did not lead to war, so the parallels they draw make no sense.

Secondly, it is Obama and Clinton doing all the sabre rattling and trying their best to kick off a conflict. Trump and Putin are actively trying to calm it down.

Free speech and all that, but the media have a social contract to inform people, not to misinform them.

  cmm,the Non aggression pact as it is more accurately referred to was more at the time to stop a Soviet response should Hitler invade Poland and where the corpse of the Poland was occupied and divided equally before them.
  
  Putin in a similar way could seek similar kind of reassurances regarding the border states like Moldavia , Georgia and Baltic Republics . Perhaps a more accurate depiction is Hitler’s swallowing up of Austria and Czechoslovakia ( including the so-called Sudetenland ) .

  You seem a little confused. The secret protocols of the Hitler/Stalin pact (the agreement to split Poland between them) led directly to the invasion of Poland, and thus to the start of WWII.
  
  However, the comparison here with Trump and Putin, I agree, are over the top.

I would bet that John Key and Helen Clark new about the Sponsored resolution that McCully got passed at the UN and it was agreed before he resigned.It is consistent with their previous policy but because it has happened under Bill English people seem to want push this decision to imply that he will be a weak PM.

  Of course John Key knew about it. It’s a government decision; McCully doesn’t act unilaterally, and it’s been around for awhile.
  Whether Clark knew is neither here nor there. I doubt there was anything secret about it anyway. What was surprising was the US decision not to use to veto.
  What I don’t understand is why those other co-sponsers were even on the security council after all the trouble we went to to get a seat.

    MCos, I think that the US abstention (and subsequent refusal to use their veto) had little to actually do with any sudden change of heart by Lame Duck Obama but had more to do with trying to queer the pitch for when Donald Trump takes office.
    
    Ditto re the expulsion of Russian diplomats, although Mr Putin’s response (effectively calling Obama irrelevant) was classic!

      No this Israel thing is not related to the Russian wedge move. This abstention was payback to Israel and/or Netanyahu for something they did or didn’t do. I initially wondered on the insult Netanyahu relayed to Obama over the Iran deal when he addressed Congress without being invited, but that’s just petty. Then someone made the point the Jewish owned media failed to deliver on the election result and that to me is the most likely reason on the table to date.
      
      If one hasn’t even researched said ownership one is hardly in a position to make a judgement on that and while stephie will immediately triumphantly table the first result he finds in his ‘… debunked’ google search, I don’t expect any of you others to be quite so profoundly stupid if you are going to respond.

        The whole ‘Jewish media’ thingie panned out badly for the Obama/Clinton camp not because those media didn’t ‘do their part’ but largely, I’d say, because Middle America reacted AGAINST being told, ad nauseum, by the media how they should vote, how great Hillary was, how bad the Trump would be etc…

Yes his case is much more serious than Mandela’s. Mandela was a terrorist who destabilised an imperfect but still basically healthy because white-run system. Titford has been jailed on the other hand for resisting the apartheid system that has been put in place in NZ to oppress whites, the indigenous people here. And Titford and Martin Doutre’s discovery that whites had lived here 5,000 years ago and built huge cities was the final straw.

JasonJohns,

“And Titford and Martin Doutre’s discovery that whites had lived here 5,000 years ago and built huge cities was the final straw.”

Where excactly ? Plus corroborating archeological evidence like skeletal remains , artefacts like pot shards, flints , arrowheads and other hunting weapons etc .

        I think we need a fairly sophisticated system that takes account of both frequency and scale of stupidity.
        Difficult to rank your average religiously deluded alongside homeopaths, anti-fluoride nutters, conspiracy theorists, racists, etc.
        For example, I can’t tell who is more deluded: someone who believe wine and crackers magically transform into blood and flesh, or someone who thinks medicine becomes stronger the more it is diluted.
        Then frequency needs to be applied. Persistent advocacy of deluded beliefs will obviously count more than occasionally nutty comments. But what about someone who is consistently wrong on almost everything versus someone’s blind spot?

  Nice myth. Saddam was a “US ally” initially under Kissingerian realism, but he had long since moved on to being a client of the USSR, China and France. All those MiG fighter jets and T-72 tanks didn’t look particularly like what a military client of the US would have.

Gerard Menuhin is a British-Swiss journalist, writer, novelist, and film producer. He is the son of Jewish parents, the American violinist and conductor Yehudi Menuhin, who is considered “one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century.”

Menuhin’s mother was a ballet dancer and died in 2003 at the age of 90. He graduated from Stanford University and is the author of the new book Tell the Truth and Shame the Devil.

The First Great Lie declares the Rights of Man and a related Dignity of Man. This lie served as subterfuge for the murderous so-called ‘French’ Revolution of 1789, during which around 600,000 French people were robbed of their dignity.

The Second Great Lie is that money is finite and must be borrowed at interest (while simultaneously being produced out of thin air). This has resulted in the entire world being forced into debt.

The Third Great Lie claims that there has been an exclusive massacre, which non-exclusive people must never forget. If this lie, while just as preposterous as the first two, is not yet quite as universally believed, it’s not for want of trying.

Lying for these beings is not so much an occasionally effective instrument as an ideology, a way of life. The drawback is that, eventually, their very existence has come to depend on lies. Truth, therefore, is an embarrassment which they must attack. They and their myriad minions fight around the clock to perpetuate their lies by twisting the facts and the law until they can be used to forbid and to punish freedom of expression, as though it were a crime equivalent to murder.

      Given that some of the founding fathers were deists, the US constitution begins ‘We the people…’, does not mention God, and the Bill of Rights’ first article forbids the government from passing laws concerning religion, I’m a bit sceptical of the Bible basis claim – but I’m no expert on this matter, so feel free to correct me.
      
      I would have guessed that the basis of US government was a mix of English common law, Magna Carta and the 1689 Bill of Rights in combination with the thinking of Montesquieu, John Locke and other enlightenment figures.
      
      Yes, there is a difference between the US and French revolutions. US revolutionaries appear very much to be practical men with experience in state government and influenced by the English enlightenment, which tended towards incremental pragmatism rather than fervent ideological purity. On the continent, some French revolutionaries were influenced by utopians such as Rousseau.
      
      Unfortunately, utopians from Robespierre to Pol Pot to ISIS have often been all too willing to break as many eggs as necessary to make an omelet, however small.

  We allocate money (to enable activity) by the market mechanism – debt and debt cost.
  
  This allows growth beyond the availability of historic savings people are willing to provide. The problem is that there is an advantage to having historic asset wealth (thus rich get richer) because of preference to debt allocation where this can be secured against existing assets.
  
  Thus forming small scale business start ups that grow in capacity and otherwise via pooled capital larger shared corporations to enagage in economic activity.
  
  Or are you just arguing for the banks to be state owned rather than part of the profit making part of economic society? Cannot see a problem with the allocation of finance being determined by a government owned bank?

(Taine Rory Mhor ) Taine Ruaridh Mhor (the big cattle farmer) was delivered by three seagoing longships (birlinns?) to NZ in the 12th Century, with 95 of his family and kinfolk and followers. And sons Rory and Ruaridh. It was deliberate but not by choice. Banishment was not an uncommon feature of the times and in this case the term was for seven generations after he had been incacerated in a dungeon for three years already by his friend King Alexander I of Scotland (reigned 1107-1124AD). Both Islands of New Zealand were chosen because one of the criteria was that the land for the banishment had to be uninhabited at the time (? this seems strange). After 160 years (7 + 1 generations), Scots/Vikings (there were three ships, two of whose captains were Johansen and Christiansen – though the names are Nordic Scandinavian they were probably based in the Firth of Forth) were requested by folk in Scotland to call and see if any of Taine’s people had survived. This would have been probably just after the reign of King Alexander III of Scotland (reigned 1249-1286) and during the reign of Edward I of England. He invaded Scotland in 1296. This was a turbulent time in Scotland. It was the time of Wallace, of Bruce, the battles of Stirling Bridge and Falkirk. The execution of Wallace and eventually the Coronation of Robert the Bruce and leading up to the battle of Bannockburn in 1314. Times perhaps when no-one had the time or resources to maintain communication with kinfolk a world away. So back to the story.
Men in Taine’s lineage were often well over 7 foot tall and generally had red hair, blue eyes and fair complexions. They had been provided with a very small number of sheep and cattle, and enough provisions to last three months, but no tools. Why such treatment was metted out remains the knowledge of modern descendants. The survival of Taine’s group was initially in their own hands and by the will of God. Their existence was meagre. Eventually some tools were obtained by trade with visiting Portuguese, and the colony grew. It is said Taine was responsible for introducing particular trees and that there may be connection between Taine and “Tane” the name used by Maoris for the God of the forest. Taine in old Gaelic is apparently pronounced the same as Tane in Maori.

    I can’t say I have bought the “white people had a nation here first” thesis.
    
    However, history, for much of the world, is only as good as archeological exploration so far, plus the reliability of primitive people’s record-keeping and story-telling.
    
    The Polynesian populating of NZ is entirely likely to have been a matter of gradual waves of arrivals, partly accidental, and it is also likely that ships accidentally made it here from goodness knows where else, going back millennia. Dying out and being exterminated was the natural condition of small human settlement in those times, including even of tribes of Polynesians at the hands of one another.
    
    Bottom line: no-one made Aotearoa anything more than Terra Nullius until the British Crown.

  The only people capable of deep sea navigation at that time were the Polynesian.
  So how can you claim that New Zealand was known to Europeans ?
  Then there’s the inconvenience of the lack of European tools and animals prior to Cook.
  Or radiocarbon dates of human remains in New Zealand preceding AD 1000.

The omnipresent chant of “Allahu akbar” in every Islamic attack:
http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/turkey-terror-attack-live-updates-9544682

A desperate manhunt has been launched to find a terrorist who reportedly shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ before shooting dead 39 people in an Instanbul nightclub packed with New Year’s Eve partygoers.

A further 69 people were injured as the killer stormed the Reina nightclub in Istanbul armed with an AK-47 and began blasting people at will.

Turkish police have released the first picture of the prime suspect in the Istanbul nightclub attack, as the gunman remains on the run.

The suspect is a member of the East Turkestan branch of ISIS, according to Turkish media reports.

  So who benefits from this attack? Erdogan sure doesn’t. Interestingly there were stories in Turkish papers the days leading up to NY day reminiscent of the posters that were put up in Dallas threatening JFK (which was a psyop to make people think a right-wing patriot type group did it, but would such a group advertise?)
  
  My guess is that one purpose of the attack was to punish Erdogan and Turkey for breaking ranks with NATO and pushing through the recent Syria peace initiative with Russia and Iran. The neocon-Zionist-hardliner wing of NATO has been furious with Erdogan since he went off the reservation on Syria last year; that’s why they used the Gladio network, and its CIA-Mossad asset Fethullah Gulen, to try to overthrow Erdogan in the failed coup attempt.
  The New Year’s Eve terror attack happened just 48 hours after the U.N. backed the Russia-Iran-Turkey peace initiative. Obviously NATO was unhappy that it was sidelined; and even unhappier that it has lost the war. Blaming and punishing Turkey, the NATO member that deserted the coalition and went over to the side of the enemy, would be a natural response.
  
  Additionally, these NATO forces have every reason to keep trying to overthrow Erdogan, both to set an example to others who might be tempted to buck NATO discipline, and to replace the Turkish President with someone who would more reliably follow orders.

      Lawrence of Arabia had similar problems trying to get any sense out of Arabs. They simply don’t think the same way as the West, and are tribalistic in many ways. In our vernacular, Arabs couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery, which is why Israel will always have the upper hand.

      It’s quite straight-forward Phil.
      
      The internal dynamic is the Shia Crescent which is Iran plus the secular countries vs the Shite powers in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states.
      
      Everything that happens in the ME depends on which other powers are doing what within those two factions and as anyone knows, they do a great deal hence all the shit.

        Have you ever read
        H.C. Armstrong’s biog of Ibn Saud?
        
        “Lord of Arabia. Ibn Saud. An intimate study of a king”
        
        It was first published in 1934… been reprinted subsequently.
        
        I read it when I was 10…. decades before I understood the political implications of the Brits’ support for Ibn Saud and the rise of wahibism

In 1862 Robertsons Bone mill came to the Kaipara and paid workers to collect the bones on this peninuslar
fortunately the Armed Constabulary was based at Te Kopuru where they counted the skulls in each sack going on their records which still exist they counted over 60.000 skulls collected mainly from the feasting sites and cave sites. Fortunately they did not collect them all. As my grandfather was the original waggoner around the area and new of many cave sites still retaining bones.Some years ago I was at a conference down country where one of the speakers was a forensic pathologist with some 60 years of experience after the conference he had some spare time and came up here and I took him around to a number of sites where he examined many remains -he was taken aback about the Trepaning in a lot of the skulls and asked what are they doing here.When he went back to the UK he took with him an eyetooth and bones fragments and 18 months later thru DNA etc he established these peoples originated in Wales 3500 years ago — Noel Hilliam

Following yesterday’s Kiwiblog question about the background of Kaileshan Thanabalasingham, the injured secretary of the Refugee Council of NZ Inc., the following links may interest some, even if the MSM are either uninterested or are all far out of it – pissing up at the beaches.

It’s a Canadian court decision upholding the Canadian Minister of Immigration’s decision to deport one KAILESHAN THANABALASINGHAM, a Sri LankanTamil gang leader in Toronto.

The second link is to an internet page alleging that Canadian police believe one Kaileshan Thanabalasingham became leader of the Torontto Tamil Hindu gang, Valvettithurai (but usually known just as “VVT”) in 1997.

This internet link (the second site linked to below, a rather different category from the court report – it’s the Rap Dictionary) also alleges that Canadian police believe VVT members have “have been traditionally known to be heavily involved in drug trafficking, human smuggling, fraud, weapon trafficking, counterfeiting and extortion.”

  Another link about the Tamil person in Canada called Kaileshan Thanabalasingham. It says that Thanabalasingham had denied that his criminal convictions — possessing a machete in 1996 and a 1998 conspiracy to commit assault for trying to acquire guns for others — were related to gang membership.

  The idea of “race” is a flaky concept, JasonJohns.
  
  But if you are going to believe it, and you think current IQ tests are the best way to rank “races”, better accept that us white folk aren’t at the top. The East Asians are above us, and I think that, surprisingly to many, Mongolians on this criterion may be the world’s smartest folk.
  
  I’m not suggesting that you are one of those folk who are anti-Jewish, as well, JasonJohns, but if you were it would be prudent to note just how often Jewish scientists and other Jewish academics feature in the Nobel Prize awards.

    No actually Askenazi Jews are the highest Jack.
    
    There’s about 10 points difference between Asians and Caucasians and another 10 between Caucasians and Africans. There’s no doubt more refined ethnic breakdowns within those broad groups. This fact is evident to anyone whose ever looked at social behaviours from those groups. If you deny it you’re either an idiot or a liar, because its self-evident.
    
    The fact IQ exists in ethnic groupings is well illustrated by the fact that during the Bolshevik Revolution Russia’s entire intelligentsia was eliminated, but they did not achieve their objective of thereby creating an easily controlled society of stupid animals, because the IQ was also in the peasants, it’s just they weren’t educated but as soon as they were, the productive capacity of the society returned.
    
    Lefty fools disregard facts like these because they don’t want to be seen to whale on the dummy groups. So the morons pretend the facts don’t exist. Even in their own tiny minds the profound idiots evidently can’t acknowledge it instead they spend all their time thinking about ways to prove it doesn’t happen.
    
    Fuck I’m glad I’m not a lefty.

    Someone wondered if the East Asian use of kanji characters with their sometimes complex and critical pattern differences might predispose East Asian cultures to do well in the spatial sections of IQ tests.
    For example, when I read the characters for “left” or for “right”, they are superficially the same, but the key detail is a radical that only accounts for about a quarter of the characters’ area. Reference: https://injapan.gaijinpot.com/uncategorized/2013/05/06/useful-kanji-migi-right-hidari-left/ I think the kanji-using cultures of East Asia have to have a good eye for detail, which would be an advantage in pattern recognition that is a component of IQ tests.
    Any comments?

      Odakyu-sen, it’s a bit of a side issue, but when you mention characters for “left” and “right” are you aware that there are a few tiny languages in diverse parts of the world that don’t have words for “left” and “right” or even have concepts of “left” and “right”?
      
      These people orient things and themselves by reference to an external object, usually for a tribe a prominent geographical feature.
      
      It isn’t totally stupid. They don’t need to know which way you are facing to have the correct orientation of “left” and “right”.
      
      Regarding your reference to Asian language word-letters: could it be that these bring the right side of the brain more into play more than alphabet writing systems do?

        In what way is “The Bell Curve” discredited? It is a common statistical term regarding the distribution of data within a set, not synonymous with a particular theory in a particular field like anthropology. This is like saying algebra is “discredited”.

    Perhaps, Maggy, it’s not the often-rumoured attraction, but just that differences spark interest.

    I hate it that racist cranks give the Left an opening to lump some possibly creditable stuff that we should be discussing, in with the general shunning and proscribing.
    
    Take the whole interpretation of NZ Colonial era history and the Treaty, for example. Sir Apirana Ngata’s book on the Treaty, should be regarded as gospel. Instead, no-one has heard of it and it is down the Orwellian Memory Hole. Same for the recorded comments of Maori Chiefs at the Kohimarama Conference of 1860.

      People make these nonsensical assertions about New Zealand history remarkably often. As if there is some controlling organ dictating what can be written.
      In truth, all sorts of bullshit has been published over the years, covering every fantasy take on our history one might wish to imagine.

We have all read or heard of the bitchiness that goes on in beauty contests. So readers will be amused by Esther Ashby-Coventry’s comments on Stuff about the Caroline Bay Beauty Pageant.
Esther writes that Lesley Walker (the judge) has plenty of experience in judging, having been a regular dog show judge for many years.
That would make her eminently qualified to spot a good bitch.

The messiah is losing it………

Obama’s political death — the Russians have tagged him “a political corpse” — is spurring him and his administration to deny it by undertaking a series of ever more outrageous acts to preserve what he considers his “legacy.” Michael Walsh summed up Obama’s week: “Stab Israel, provoke Russia, grab land — even the nuttiest Leftist has to admit Obama is out of control.”

Obama hopes his party’s diminished power over his two terms will be without effect. President-Elect Trump and those who support him see it differently — the corpse is spewing toxic pathogens, which will not survive a thorough cleansing.

Reading Maggy’s link to Scott Hamilton’s article concerning the entertaining Noel Hilliam, I came across –
“He [Hilliam] believes that historians, archaeologists, Department of Conservation staff, and politicians all conspire to hide the ‘truth’ of his ‘findings’ from the New Zealand public. ”
If he doesn’t already comment on Kiwiblog under an alias, he should – he’d fit in rather well.

Sweden’s diversity dividend , only the media won’t tell you that , it’s “youths” and alcohol causing the mayhem.

“At close to the strike of midnight, a suspected hand grenade was thrown at a police station in Katrineholm, 150km southwest of Stockholm, shattering the station’s entry door and window, and damaging four cars parked outside. ”

  Possibly, but Bill English was overheard speaking to their pet cow ‘Daisy” on what he should do about Murky McCully’s ballsup. Daisy apparently replied that if she were him she would seize every opportunity and milk it for all it’s worth. Bill was not so sure and replied in this situation he should be seen and not herd; and off Bill went, to rustle up some grub.

Melbourne landlord installs coin-operated toilet in tenant’s apartment

A Melbourne landlord has been blasted online after a tenant revealed he had installed a coin-operated toilet in the house, requiring the tenants to pay per flush. The stingy landlord and owner of an apartment property in Thornbury has reportedly equipped the toilet with a mechanism that means residents have to pay A$1 ($1.04) to flush the dunny.

Unsure about the legality of such a contraption, the tenant posted the story on forum-based social media website reddit to ask the community if the landlord was allowed to do this. … Such is the ridiculousness of the coin-operated toilet that the post was initially removed because reddit moderators on the Melbourne subreddit didn’t believe the story was true. But the tenant has since posted proof of the situation by sharing a picture of the toilet and the post has been republished.

Presumably the landlord visits fairly often to empty the coin tray…

  Perhaps a coin meter could be installed to control the water supply to residents who are reluctant to pay rates.

  Perhaps the tenants should let everything sit for a while before flushing. When the landlord has to go and unblock the drain, perhaps he will think twice about charging.

As Newt Gingrich said in 2011, “The Palestinians are an invented people.”

In 1964, the Palestine Liberation Organization was formed to liberate Palestine through armed struggle. But it took years for the notion of a Palestinian people to crystalize. In 1967, they were not recognized as such, nor were they considered a party to the conflict. Security Council Resolution 242 passed after the ’67 war, made no mention of them.

Interesting developments in Turkey.

Erdogan and Putin have done a deal whereby al Nusra and the Kurds are marginalised as terrorists along with Islamic State.

And they have had UN sign off for this. Given the Kurds are the main group fighting IS in Syria an interesting development. Another betrayal of them and one we on the UNSC went along with. Shameful.

  Is that a new thing? Al Nusra is Al Qaeda rebadged, and the PKK, the Kurdish Workers Party, has been recognised as a terrorist organisation world-wide for decades.

    In this case it reflects a deal whereby Turkey abandons al Qaeda in Syria a partner to groups they have supported.
    
    Thus a cease-fire in which Assad’s forces can single out al Nusra (no bad thing) – in return Turkey is free to turn on Kurds in Syria during the cease-fire. Hiowever the Kurds are working with Arab partners and closing in on Raqqa and have always been to the forefront to defeating IS in Syria (given the government was focused on matters westward and Turkey was uninterested in even closing the border to militants coming in to join IS).
    
    The new Turkish arrangement provides Turkey with legitimacy to their intention to backstab the Kurds. And thus restrict options for defeat of IS to Turkish military occupation of this area of Syria. This will hamper planning for the defeat of IS in Syria after the taking of Mosul, when this was on track without any Turkish involvement.
    
    Labelling the Syrian Kurds a terrorist group has always been part of the appeasement of Turkey in NATO, but the very real alliance with them against IS is indicative of a different reality. One
    that Turkey is determined to end – and the UNSC in sanctioning the Russian-Turk cease-fire has aided and abetted them in this.

“As the candles of the Chanukah are lit each night we are reminded of the enduring resilience and courage of the Jewish people in the face of the darkest adversity,” Mr Turnbull wrote on Facebook.

“Australia would not be the remarkable nation it is, the most successful multicultural society in the world, without the extraordinary contribution of the Jewish community.”

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4077858/amp/Prime-Minister-Malcolm-Turnbull-shows-dance-moves-Sydney-s-Jewish-community-seventh-night-Chanukah.html

And here was me thinking it was the white British, and predominantly the criminal classes who formed the lowest rung of British society, who turned a barren wilderness into an earthly paradise with a couple of centuries of ingenuity, hard work and moral fortitude.

A place where the aborigine had roamed for tens of thousands of years without creating anything more useful or significant than the boomerang and the cave painting.

But all along it was the Jews. The magical hebrews without whom the white man would be nothing. I see it now. How could I have been so foolish.

  Indeed – imagine Australia without the contribution from those from the Synagogue of Satan:
  
  http://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2012/08/the-war-on-white-australia-a-case-study-in-the-culture-of-critique-part-1-of-5/
  
  The history of multiculturalism in Australia (and indeed throughout the West) is in large part an object lesson in how a small but highly organised and motivated group of activists can successfully hijack the demographic destiny of a nation for its own ends. Acknowledging that Australian multiculturalism is first and foremost a manifestation of Jewish ethno-politics, Jewish historian William Rubinstein observed that: “Thus far, any serious questioning of multiculturalism has not resulted in an anti-Semitic backlash; nevertheless, the Jewish community would certainly be exceedingly disturbed by any basic reversal of the commitment to multiculturalism by successive governments.”
  
  In addition to opening the floodgates to mass non-White immigration, a key part of this Jewish campaign to radically reengineer Australian society in their own interests has been to shut down speech critical of this immigration and multiculturalism — and particularly of the role of Jews in foisting these disastrous policies on a resentful White Australian population.”
  
  Yep – in addition to not having a usurious monetary system where the Banks completely dominate the economy, Australia wouldn’t have got rid of that racist White Australia immigration policy that gives us such multicultural joys as central Melbourne and Western Sydney.
  
  Only Israel can maintain a discriminatory immigration policy you see. Everyone else who does so is “Naaaaaaziiii”

    Conflation of Jewish solidarity with other minorities, immigrants and maintaining identity (multi-culturalism) with the reason for western society acceptance of minorities, immigration and continuing identy (multi-culturalism) is par for the course for the conspiracy theorist. They need some group to blame for the existence of policies they oppose, and hope if they cite the Jews the white Christian race will unite against others. No wonder the reference to the synagogue of satan term (from revelation) to imply something end time and apocalyptic in nature to the issue.

    Amy schumer represents all that is wrong with the filth the MSM, Hollyweird and TV Studios foist on the Christian West:
    
    http://therightstuff.biz/2016/04/08/amy-schumer-debased-creature/
    
    Is there a more debased creature in our modern pop-cultural cesspool than (((Amy Schumer)))? Probably not. She is a peddler of filth, a political tool and is a talentless and ungracious hack. Schumer represents the degeneracy and cultural rot that has been foisted on the West……
    
    A simple and cursory review of Schumer’s work reveals the corruption she traffics into our culture. Her show, which is unfortunately still televised, Inside Amy Schumer, is the stuff of nightmares and represents a culture suffocating from degradation and immorality. It’s a creation that only a Jew or an imbecile would find worthwhile or entertaining. Most sane people don’t find cavernous vaginas, feminist gangbangs and canine breast-feeding charming and watchable.

        read further in the article – Amy, like her 2nd cousin promotes any and everything that stands opposite to the values that the founding fathers stood for. They are all Anti-American chancers who hate the sort of people who voted for Trump.
        
        Amy’s father, (((Gordon Schumer))), is second cousin to open-borders-promoting sodomy activist and all-around communist, U.S. New York Senator (((Chuck Schumer))). Schumer, along with California Senator (((Dianne Feinstein))), authored the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, he’s also a strong supporter of abortion, except when attending Efrat, a Jewish-only anti-abortion advocacy group. The goyim can murder their own, but not the Chosen.

For EAD – the inability of even a direct witness to reconcile of the person outside of the concentration camp environment with the monster within. From one of the bravest men who fought in WWII, Witold Pilecki:

He got the feeling that he was alternating between hell and earth. There an SS-man was a torturer and executioner, and here a caring husband and father who hugged his wife and children.

  Interesting Lucia on 2 fronts:
  
  – he is described in the book as “One of the few who succeeded in escaping.” Which is seemingly at odds with the 121,000 survivors currently receiving care. This 121k excludes all those not receiving care, a full 72 years after the end of WWII, and, when accounting for those already deceased, means there were a fair few “holocaust” survivors from the Nazi occupied Europe Pre War Jewish population of 5.5 million!
  
  Link to Jewish article from 2016 on number of “Holocaust” “survivors”
  http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4825180,00.html
  
  – In the blurb of the book he lets slip “At his last meeting with his wife, when he was barely alive, he declared that Auschwitz was nothing compared to the torture in the Stalinist prison.
  
  Which is not surprising really considering Auschwitz had a large hospital, many Doctors, playing fields, a pool, school, auditorium/musical hall etc. Hardly the main priority one would think for a so called “Death camp” as revisionists refer to it as.

    Sorry, I’m not really understanding your point here. Are you disputing that he escaped? Or are you implying that 121,000 survivors also escaped? Or are you saying something else?

    Pilecki was sick with typhoid and pneumonia while in Auschwitz and did not receive hospital or even medical care there. The facilities at Auschwitz were mostly for the up to 7000 SS men who were stationed there. Except for the hospital which also was for medical experiments on the prisoners. Prisoners who were too sick to work got phenol injections. They did not get care in hospital.
    
    You’re right, for Pilecki who survived Auschwitz and was able to escape, the tortures of the Stalinist prison were far worse. And they did kill him at the end with a shot to the back of head.
    
    Watch this, it’s a good half hour summary of what he went through: Heroes Of War: Captain Witold Pilecki.

Undesireables want to get in:
At least 1,100 asylum seekers rushed the barbed wire fence protecting the tiny north African enclave, which is surrounded on all sides by Morocco, in a desperate bid to reach the EU.

Spanish and Moroccan authorities desperately fought to restore order as the migrants, most from sub-Saharan Africa, scaled the border barrier and brawled with police.

The right call. Abbott sides with Israel:
http://www.timesofisrael.com/former-australian-pm-cut-off-aid-to-palestinians/

Former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott called on his country to cut millions of dollars of annual aid to the Palestinian Authority, accusing Ramallah of funneling the money to “terrorists and their families.”

He also called on Canberra to join any move by the incoming Trump administration in the US to relocate the embassy to Jerusalem.
