..and of the medical properties/benefits of each of those strains..

“..chemdog:..

The newest powerhouse of the Kush/Diesel family..

.. Chemdog’s potency is the stuff of legend.

Smell is Very fuely and strong, taste similar to how it smells..

.. fuely with a lemony diesel kick.

With glaucoma sufferers in particular praising its qualities for relieving eye pressure.

Price: 1 pound: $5500-6500..”

3 significant regional banks have just fallen over in America. FDIC can’t cover the depositors. It’s the beginning of the end. FDIC almost wiped out anyway.

The books have been cooked and the Feds looked away. (its not fraud if the govt does it) Its game over.

US dollar, share market and then the US government to crash it is only a matter of time.

this one is for red..

http://whoar.co.nz/2009/kenyan-birth-certificate-obama-birthers-latch-on-to-forgery/

“..The latest development in the Obama “birther” conspiracy is the emergence of a “Kenyan birth certificate” for the president..

.. put online by movement maven Orly Taitz.

Oddly, the same people who are so skeptical of Obama’s Hawaii birth certificate are willing to accept this new document despite many flaws..

.. documented by the Washington Independent’s Dave Weigel and Markos Moulitsas.

Here are just some of the flaws:

Kenya was a Dominion the date this certificate was allegedly issued and would not become a republic for 8 months.

Mombasa belonged to Zanzibar when Obama was born, not Kenya.

Obama’s father’s village would be nearer to Nairobi, not Mombasa.

The number 47O44– 47 is Obama’s age when he became president, followed by the letter O (not a zero) followed by 44–he is the 44th president.

EF Lavender is a laundry detergent..”

(oh..!..and karl rove twittered that this is ‘a forgery’..)

(’nuff said..?..)

further to the cerium post at 9.04..

Zero Hedge:

“From the end of 2007 through Q1 of 2009, household equity has declined by 94%. Is it surprising that today’s GDP number would have been a complete debacle if the consumer had been left alone to prop the U.S. economy, on whom 70% of the economy is reliant?

Obama pulled a Hail Mary with the stimulus: without it there would be no debate America is in a depression right now.” (http://www.zerohedge.com/article/money-sidelines-fallacy)

What does all this mean?

It means the consumer is down-for-the-count. His credit lines have been cut, his home equity eviscerated, and his checking account swimming in red ink.

That spells trouble for an economy that’s 70% dependent on consumer spending for growth….which brings us to another interesting point.

The uptick in GDP last quarter was almost entirely the result of the surge in government spending; ie “fiscal and monetary stimulus”.

How long can that go on?

How long will China keep slurping up US Treasuries rather than let their currency rise? ..”

Phil Ure disturbs you because he has the things you can only wish for: time and freedom. He’s organised his life so that he can involve himself in what he loves; politics and debate. He openly enjoys some hedonistic pleasures and at the same time lives a life of principle – his refusal to eat meat is no secret. Those who rail against him do so because your crave the things he has.
Imho.

He ahsn’t organised shit, hes an ex-con drug addict unable to get his arse out of his chair and has to be plugged into other peoples money like a life sustaining fucking IV by the socialist government he loves like Winston loved Big Brother. Fuck that shit, I’m mine and I have a brain.

GM:

The millenium bug was a valid concern, grossly overblown. I dealt with millenium “bugs”. I have dealt with other date issues before and after the change of century. Came across one a few months ago. I don’t know what the “socialists” had to do with it, I presume they were blamed for another plot to take over the world.

The shower thing was stupid. I replaced my own shower head a couple of years ago to a low flow version, works well using less water. Should be encouraged, but not regulated.

If the pinkos are classified as non-smackers they shouldn’t have been abused as children.

More so than usual we are being lied too. Obama, his Admin, the media, the bankers and some commentators. All lying. The justification is if Obama spoke the truth there would be a panic and then market crash. Fib now and things will get better later. Keep the truth hidden and trade and spend out of trouble.

Eg the banks cook the books and say the valuations are ok to keep their capital ratios clean so the bank is not taken over by the Feds. The Feds don’t have the resources to take over all the banks with stuffed ratios so they look the other way. Maybe the valuations will come right next year.

Problem is you can’t lie long term to the market. The market will know sooner or later. It always does. Right just at this moment bank insiders are selling big time. Its game over.

Last year I was farted around outside of a major Labour party conference in Christchurch’s Convention Centre due to a several taxpayer-funded limos and a large contingent of police guards – many, if not all, armed.

Imagine my surprise this year to note a single policeman outside each entrance for the National party conference and not a limo in sight all weekend.

John Key and his Notional govt think NZ troops should go to Afghanistan to fight “global terrorism”.

Bullfuckingshit.

Terrorism is, by definition, not a war, but a criminal act and should be attacked by policing, not warfare.

Australia has had troops, fighting terrorism, in Afghanistan since Shrub began is War on Terror(tm) but that doesn’t stop terror attacks on Australia. Good policing does that.

[DPF: Phil shows his failure to understand the difference between quantity and quality. Yes Phil posts a lot to his blog. But how many people read it, comment on it or link to it?

According to the public info, Technorati finds five links to your blog in six months (KB is 139) Alexa has you in rank 1,735,000 (KB is 75,000) and the last comment made on your blog (not by you) was on the 11th of July – or 24 days ago]

Alexa comparison of rank of kiwiblog versus whoar:

whoar.co.nz: 1,773,899 (International); 31,270 (NZ)
kiwiblog.co.nz: 79,040 (International); 205 (NZ)

(go figure..!..eh..?..

..which way do you want it..)

i guess it’s the software i used vs. yr public acceess to technorati..eh..?

..and yes..dpf..whoar is a news aggregation site..(i send people off to places to read things..

..whereas kiwiblog is talkback-blog..

..and you have gathered up fifty or so refugees from talkback radio..

..who drive yr comments threads..

..(which explains the ‘quality’ of dialogue/high rates of personal abuse..

..y’know..!..you go your way..i’ll go mine..

..and we’ll see how things work out..eh..?

plus dpf..i know you know..and use..all the ‘tricks’ to get yr rankings up..

..i know nothing of those skills..

..this site evaluation that was done also instructed me how to increase the amount of notice i get..

..so..watch this space..eh..?

‘cos..y’see..dpf..your sneers to oneside..

..i know thati am producing a quality product..(25-30 new stories/links each and every day..

..and that is what i have been focussing on..

..the quality of my product..

..whereas your traffic is transitory..

..and is only fueled by yr pushing of thread-comment-generation-threads ‘hot-buttons’..eh..?

Philu:

You apparently didn’t learn this at Auckland Uni:

Technorati Rank is calculated based on how far you are from the top. The blog with the hightest Technorati Authority is the #1 ranked blog. The smaller your Technorati Rank, the closer you are to the top.

Since at the lower end of the scale many blogs will have the same Technorati Authority, they will share the same Technorati Rank.

The Technorati Top 100 shows the most popular 100 blogs based on Technorati Authority. The #1 ranked blog is the blog with the most other distinct blogs linking to it in the last 6 months. If your blog’s rank is, say 305,316, this indicates that there are 305,315 blog ranks separating your blog from the #1 position.

The best way to increase your Technorati Authority is to write things that are interesting to other bloggers so they’ll link to you. Linking to source material when you blog is also a great way to engage in conversation and help others find what you find interesting.

Does this mean your boasting about Whoar rankings for months (and years) is now shown to be hot air?

And do you still stand by this comment:

for the last four and a half years..every day.(early morning start…i have compiled a news aggregator service…whoar.co.nz
..(that yesterday..was ranked in the top 1% of global blogs..by technorati…
..and i have been approached by some americans putting together a big commercial model news/opinion site in america..
..aimed at knocking off huffington post..
..i will own part of that…and hope/expect to make a reasonable..to shit-load of money from that…
and i am about to start cashing in on the high global rankigs for whoar…
..(so i expect to be off that dpb sooner..rather than later..
..now..to my mind..through sweat equity/brainpower..i have got myself in a strong position to leave the benefit..

How is the “big commercial model news/opinion site” coming along? Are the Americans happy with your Technorati ranking? Still want you on board with their venture?

Well, aside from the fact that it’s a rip-off from an idea from the left – so they must have some good ideas – I wouldn’t call it prescient to point out the inherent predictability of Republicans. They are, after all, that predictable.

Redbaiter, everyone is waiting for you to tell how Orly Taitz got on. You promised yesterday it would be big.
Was her interview on MSNBC a success?
Was she really born in the USSR?
Did she really get her law degree by correspondence?

“If this turns out to be a bad document that she’s posted, I think it gives the non-birthers an argument to say: ‘See, these people don’t know what they’re doing,’” said Philip J. Berg, a Pennsylvania attorney who filed the first “eligibility” lawsuit against Obama one year ago this month.

Are the birthers really in more disarray then Labour?

Is Government going to ignore the assault on the sanctity of private property being played out in Northland.

An Australian businessmen, who want to invest in the Northland economy buys a property at auction at a mortgagee sale – sold because the Maori tenants did not keep up with their mortgage. He goes to move in and the Maori tenants say he may own the building but that being Maori they own the land and are staying put. The police say they cannot evict them without a court order.
He has to go to court and the Court throws out the Maori tenants case so he goes to the police to evict them.
But they have decided to appeal and the police have to wait until ‘all processes” have been played out.
And our businessman will have to pay the costs of the appeal.
If a property title is to mean anything this legal situation has to be reversed.
Why would anyone buy a building in New Zealand if case law establishes that you have no right to occupy until the existing tenants have made all their appeals. Remember these tenants triggered the sale by not paying their mortgage. They don’t live there. This is a warehouse type commercial building. The local Maori leaders have disowned them totally recognising that this is not good for business and employment.
But the message is clear – stay clear of rural towns because there is no rule of law where title is concerned.

@ Hurf

You all bore the fuck out of me with the constant sniping and hypocrisy, you know. I suppose it’d be okay if this bollocks actually meant anything, but each ridiculous caricature is as pointless as the last. If anything, it just shows how mindless and stupid resorting to such imagery is when you’re actually talking about real people and real issues.

It’s pretty much like resorting to “socialist”, “conservative” or “liberal” and using them in a context in which it’s insinuated that each is a dirty word – an insult. Oh, which is what that picture does. It makes no commentary on a specific issue, it just dumbs down debate and polarises. It turns things into stupid party political sniping, ideologically based idiocy.

It means nothing. Its main redeeming feature is that it’s “viral”, but the idea of associating a political figure with the joker or any other cartoon character is, first, nothing new. As you know, it was done with GWB and the joker a year ago. Secondly, the idea that you can slap up a poster and it’ll become viral is as old as the hills. Try “obey giant”, or, more recently, the “Earn $$$” stickers that started appearing on bus stops in Wellington.

And you use it as an example that liberals can’t take a joke? On the contrary, some don’t think that the undertones of such a picture are very funny. Whiting up a black man and calling him a socialist? Similarly, some didn’t think that the comparisons between GWB faces and chimps were very funny either. They scuppered any chance of a debate by reducing the president to nothing but a series of images.

There’s no substance in these pictures. They’re not a caricature to accompany a leader in a newspaper. They have no direct commentary except to align someone with a position that’s nothing but anathema to another position. They’re like the chimp/GWB photos – they set you up to fail, obscure what’s happening and contribute to reductionist discourse.

Congratulations. You’re a part of the procession of simulacrum.

Wow, Chwissy got seriously butthurt. As much as I’d love this to do with political polarisation, which has been happening for centuries and is unlikely to end soon.It’s more like, your fellow enlightened folks are also butthurt and can’t have their beloved God King mocked or else they spit their dummy out and have a cry. Which is what you have done. Surprise! The Joker painted his face white! Horrors! 10/10, you’ve passed the class!

phlu, you said;
“..these morons lack any intellectual ability to engage in any form of reasoned dialogue/argument..”
I once attempted a reasoned dialogue/argument with you and found that you aren’t capable of rational assessment of any information that doesn’t fit your preconceptions.

The business with the technorati rankings highlights this. You’d like to believe (in fact you probably do believe) you are in the top 1% and (perhaps subconsciously) have managed to interpret the numbers to make it seem to you that that is so.
I surmise that the ‘americans’ are either a bunch of stoners, some teenage kids having fun with you, or someone that once thought it might be a good idea but have since cooled on the idea (have you had an offer yet? heard from them lately?)

If you were one of my famlily/friends I would organise an intervention for your sake and your kid.

Why are the left and their media Brownshirts speading obvious lies about the Kenyan Birth Certificate??

Lie One- 47044 was originally 47644 They changed it so that it would fit their lie.

Lie Two- The official’s name is K F Lavendar not E F Lavendar.

Why go to all this trouble??

Watch this video. Anyone else find the media’s treatment of this brave lady disgusting? What repugnant cowards Obama’s media Brownshirts really are.

When the hell are you people going to post something here that’s up to date and relevant??

Morons and cowards. You do not deserve to live in a free country. Your pathetic brainwashed mindsets makes you an excellent fit for citizenship in Cuba or North Korea.

All this can be solved by Obama’s release of the records he has sealed (by executive order) and refuses to show to the public. Why do you not ask him to do this rather than whining on with lies and slander against anyone who wants to check his Constitutionally eligibility??

Philu I have tried many times to engage in rational debate with you, and debate your political views.
However philu you have proven you are incapable of any though apart from:

1: Ban things that suit your agenda
2: Legalise things that suit your agenda
3: A strong desire to take ever more money from the kiwi taxpayer to perpetuate the lifelong bludging classes such as yourself, without any kind of appreciation of where this money comes from (I.E the taxpayer- the rest of us here on kiwiblog).

The fact that you and your gutless supporters like Chris C have little rational argument other than to label us “rightwing” and neo this neo that wank wank blahblahblah….you get what I mean, gives further weight to the perception that your arguments are piss weak and that deep down you know you have no ground to stand on.

So called Conservatives who are criticising those who want to see proof of Obama’s eligibility to be President should shut the fuck up. In the main, they are still confused by Obama’s lying media brownshirts who have deliberately muddied the waters on this issue. They (Conservatives) do not understand yet that there is no proof that Obama was ever born in the US. The COLB is not a birth certificate.

The correct approach for anyone who is critical of those who doubt Obama’s eligibility is to merely ask Obama to release the documentation. It would cost him nothing to do this, and if it proved his case, would kill the so called “birther” movement stone dead. Even some on the left have made this request.

Right now, the Brownshirts in the media, with their obvious intent to hide the truth, are those most responsible for fanning the flames of civil unrest.

“The correct approach for anyone who is critical of those who doubt Obama’s eligibility is to merely ask Obama to release the documentation.”

Red, you are either a bigger sucker than I thought or you are part of the fraud.

You must know that a legal birth certificate has been provided, checked and checked again.

Department of Health Spokeswoman Janice Okubo stated that Hawaii “does not have a short-form or long-form certificate.” The director of her Department has stated that the state holds Obama’s “original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures.”

And

The law allowing foreign-born children to obtain Hawaiian COLBs didn’t exist until 20 years after Obama was born, while Obama’s published COLB says his birth information was recorded four days after his birth in 1961.

So, like asking someone to prove they don’t have WMD, you are demanding that something that doesn’t exist is presented.

But I am sure you won’t let a few facts get in the way of your brownarming, will you?

Jury on 4 August 2009 find Field guilty of 11 corruption charges and convicted of 26 bribery and obstruction charges. In other words, Helen Clark was correct that Field was guilty of trying to help someone – himself.
