I see Winnie Peters is pulling out the racism/fear card again.

Good on him.

Someone should.

Sadly a case of too little, too late.

Someone will later write a book,

How to destroy a nice little beautiful country in fifty years.

Probably give him my vote next election and I NEVER thought I would say that before.

But if the other two parties are so committed to giving the country away
maybe he can get some of it back?

Apparently Assange is not even wanted for allegations of rape, as previously reported, but for something called “sex by surprise,” which is said involves a fine of 5,000 kronor or about $715.

“Sex by surprise” hmm, wonder what that is?

More Claytons revelations in Australia.

The cables also suggested union bosses held “powerful sway” over Labour ministers and had “disproportionate influence” over the government.

Tony Abbott said the cables demonstrated unions were in charge. “You’ve got union officials boasting about the fact that they’re effectively running the government and you’ve got senior members of parliament conceding that this is correct.”

Just as well that sort of thing doesn’t happen here.

Labour president Andrew Little, who heads the EPMU, said Mr Hawkins had made it clear to others, but not to him, that he was opposed to Mr Mika’s candidacy.

Mr Little had avoided endorsing any of the seven candidates in a “somewhat tense selection” because Mr Mika was an EPMU employee. The candidate selection meeting would be held tomorrow.

The wasteful antics of our moronic politicians on display in that cess pit beehive makes my fucking blood boil. Really New Zealand how long can a sane society afford forking out money for this play school group of egomaniacal gravy train pieces of shit? Sack them all and start again! 12 good men could do the job and the taxpayer would be the winner. Bah, bah went the broke Joe Average as the polllie cracked open another bottle of bubbly! The disgusting sods are not worthy of any respect. They should be hung up. FFS!!

Sex by Surprise – sex without a condom.

I thought in one case the condom broke – which reminds me of this old rhyme from when I was much much younger:

The boy stood on the burning deck – he wished he wasn’t born.
His mother said – you wouldn’t have been if the frenchie hadn’t torn!!

Greens welcome Labour change of heart on the foreshore

“The Labour Party has announced today that it will essentially be adopting the Green Party position on the foreshore and seabed. ”

Radio NZ has been letting Meteria Turie get away with that but I look forward to hearing from Chris Trotter.

Shane Jones noted the foreshore and seabed issue getting race relations into “toxic territory”. This suggests the public aren’t going to stay asleep while our betters just change the ownership of (nobodies?) beaches.

An interesting sidelight of the Wikileaks material, in terms of Australia, is written about here:

Kevin Rudd was an abrasive, impulsive control freak as prime minister who was obsessed with managing the media cycle at the expense of collaborative decision-making.

The writer goes on to point out that none of this is news, at least to readers of The Australian, because they gained this knowledge from talking to public servants, politicians and diplomats – which is exactly what junior staff at the US embassy did. However, other papers have only just now published this sort of information as a result of “gleaning” it from the US diplomatic cables on Wikileaks.

The writer twists the knife a little:

ABC presenter Barrie Cassidy, who as recently as February accused this newspaper of running an ideologically inspired campaign against Mr Rudd, could not have been more surprised. “You have to hand it to the Americans,” he wrote on the ABC’s website The Drum. “They were on to Kevin Rudd long before most of his colleagues and most of the media.”

…and then a lot:

The excitement generated by WikiLeaks reveals the cargo-cult approach to journalism adopted by some in the Canberra press gallery. Rather than forensically pursuing the Rudd government, there was a tendency to rely on press releases and briefings. If they had done a better reporting job back then, they might not now be so awed by the cables that describe a narrative this newspaper reported over several years.

More to the point, the narrative that Rudd would be a superior PM to Howard because of all the qualities adored by left-wing journalists, could not be disrupted.

When I read above that the fine is likely to be only $715 I cannot help believing those who say the interpol business is politically motivated. Pressure from either America or the feminist movement.

More from Australia…. Seems the Greens are trying to run the country into the ground with legislation and costly idiotic policy over there too, just as they have tried and continue to do so here.

TREASURY secretary Ken Henry has delivered a damning assessment of the state of policymaking and claims Treasury Department resources are under severe stress.

This is as a result of the demands from independents and the Greens.

Dr Henry told a private gathering of senior ex-Treasury officials of his immense frustrations, describing the past year as one of the worst – if not the worst – in the department’s history and predicting next year would be “awful” because of the hung parliament.

In what attendees described as a downbeat and depressing speech, Dr Henry said Treasury was now at the beck and call of the independents and Greens, creating a huge strain on the capacity of the department.

He did not complain about the policies of the Labor government or the opposition but is understood to have darkly joked to colleagues that Treasury did not have a big enough computer to cost the policies of the Greens.

“For a guy who’s very ‘green’ himself and always off saving the hairy-nosed wombat, he is not very sympathetic to the Greens as a party,” one attendee said.

Tom Hunter, Howard that American war hero who was dished out medals by Bush for sending Aussie troops to Afghanistan.
Now I wonder what Howard’s excuse was for not joining up in the sixties, too short ?
Real competent, managed to bring the wrong body of a bloke who was supposed to be a Aussie back from Iraq.

Heh, Howard believe he had the utter right to be president of the cricket council, must be a pity for him that yanks have no say in that.

One for Grumpy! One of the paler bro’s leads in Aussie.

Ralph Norris, Kiwi former chief of ASB Bank, is Australia’s highest paid executive, reports the Wall Street Journal . As chief executive of Commonwealth Bank of Australia he’s being paid more than 16 million Australian dollars a year – that’s about 20 million Kiwi.

The newspaper says that five of Australia’s ten highest paid people works for banks.

Norris, part-Maori, is a top operator and a very decent bloke, but the newspaper seems peeved that he gets millions more than the heads of the Rio Tinto and BHP, the two big mining companies that are driving the Aussie boom.

Let’s hope Norris brings his savings back to NZ when he tires of the Aussie rat race.

Where the FUCK is Gerry Brownlee?

Christchurch’s CBD is dying due to lack of reconstruction.

Christchurch residents are still shitting in the streets, due to lack of reconstruction.

Marriages are falling apart under the strain of failing businesses, loss of jobs, poor housing and LACK OF RECONSTRUCTION.

Apparently tha nats were sure Jim Anderton couldn’t be an MP and a mayor at the same time, but Gerry “where are you” Brownlee can be minister of mines and minister of earthquake recovery and continue merrily on his way to an uneraned pension while failing in hisy duty to oversee the 2 biggest disasters in NZ recent history.

Where the FUCK is Gerry Brownlee? It can’t be that easy to hide him?

Very trendy to be a mad, crazy, unhinged billionaire:
“Mr. Turner – a long-time advocate of population control – said the environmental stress on the Earth requires radical solutions, suggesting countries should follow China’s lead in instituting a one-child policy to reduce global population over time. He added that fertility rights could be sold so that poor people could profit from their decision not to reproduce.”

Should Wong resign?

Meanwhile, a 3News poll last night suggested much of the public has not accepted the McPhail report. Voters were asked whether Mrs Wong should resign from Parliament and 55 per cent said yes, 40 per cent said no and 5 per cent didn’t know.

No, the reporter is suggesting that (or repeating another suggester), not the poll.

The poll doesn’t say why they think she should resign. It could be because they think she’s done too much wrong, they are sick of hearing about her on the tellie, because she looks different to a normal New Zealander, because she’s with National, because she’s a she, some may suspect she’s just another lesbian politician, and there could even be some who don’t like the dress they saw her wearing.

Oh, and maybe one or two are familiar with the McPhail report. And 5% are right?

I think the “sex by surprise” is regarding an allegation of sex at least initiated by Assange while she was asleep.

And for those who are a bit confused, there was no threesome involved.

I also think its important not to get too carried away about political aspects of the case. Allegations have been made, and having a high profile does not automatically imply innocence.

Now let’s hope he can get it all cleared up quickly, and that justice is done, and he gets back to doing what he does best – keeping us informed and making himself a lot of money. This guy should be a free marketeers hero!

A better (or worse) Wikileaks?

Anger at ‘slave trader’ Assange: WikiLeaks loyalists decide to break away

A number of WikiLeaks defectors, including founder Julian Assange’s former right-hand man, plan to launch a rival site on Monday after accusing Mr Assange of behaving like “some kind of emperor or slave trader”.

The new site, Openleaks, will launch on Monday, respected Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter reported. Like WikiLeaks, it will allow whistleblowers to leak information to the public anonymously. However, Openleaks won’t host the documents itself, instead acting as an intermediary between whistleblowers and other groups including media organisations.

They may manage better if they keep their pants on. Or at least the condoms.

You made the claim, personally I did not believe it as you are nothing but a tired old fool who has a grossly inflated opinion of your own worth, however, seeing as you made the claim that you had achieved ‘lots’ then you are morally bound to name one thing.

I am not asking you to name ‘lots’, just one single thing, one little victory, one achievement that has made the left cower in fear.

I tried asking Russell the same question on his boring blog today, remember, this is the same Russell who champions free speech.

He deleted every question…ha ha ha.

Perhaps Red and his good mate D4J (another who bans free speech) really belong at the Standard, they sure as hell have more in common with the hard left than they do with those of us who really value freedom and personal responsibility.

Dad’s rhetoric is pretty extreme even by baiter’s standards, but dad at least is not shy to put up his background and the real-world reasons why he is on the journey he is on. I don’t think what he does is very sensible, but you can have some compassion for what made him the crank he is.

Whereas with baiter, you’re just reading a bot parrotting whatever was on Ann Coulter a couple of hours ago, stripped of whatever (precious little) balance understanding or humanity she may have sprinkled it with.

Kind of sad you both apparently can’t stop reading something you profess such disinterest in. Something doesn’t work logically there.

More and more like Phool every day…

Still can’t think of any of those things you’ve achieved?
You must have gone over your broadband cap at least once or twice? That’s a kind of achievement…

[Oh And I’m not “uninterested” in what the nutbar right thinks. I just disagree with a lot of it.]

Its pretty clear I’ve really got under your skin Andy. If you weren’t such an insignificant prick, I guess I could almost call that one of my achievements.

Switch number three…

Oh and man up to dissenting comments on your paranoia site. Don’t pretend they don’t exist. Then you’ll be in a position to start talking about who’s small and insignificant.

“I don’t think what he does is very sensible, but you can have some compassion for what made him the crank he is.”

Only if you accept that what he says is true, take it from me, D4J is a proven liar. I would believe about 10% of what he says.

You are right about Russell, he parrots Coulter and Glen (I will cry on TV if improves my ratings) Beck……and to top it all off the idiot thinks that Palin has a chance of ousting Obama.
Redbaiter and all the other Tea party fools just will not accept that Palin is the best thing that ever happened to the Democrats, she will guarantee another four years for Obama.

Russell, this is bordering on cruelty, you are taking such a beating even I am starting to feel sorry for you.

Let’s end it, just name that one little thing and I will never bother you again, you can get on with your life (such as it is) and try and get over the last few weeks, I know it has been hard on you but you must realise that if you insist on playing with the big boys you are going to get hurt from time to time.

So Russ…how about it, name the one thing and put an end to all of this.

Bye bye Baiter! You have a lovely weekend of obfuscating and lying and running for cover, now!

Love,

” Have fun whacking each other off.”

What is the fascination that you, Kris K and D4J have with gay sex?

Is there something you are trying to tell us Red?, is that where the rage comes from?

Surely he must have known it would be a contentious decision, and would likely really annoy many of those in the RSA. Very strange, or just very stupid.

AND THE WINNER IS….

Zookeeper Friedrich Riesfeldt (Paderborn, Germany) fed his constipated elephant 22 doses of animal laxative and more than a bushel of berries, figs and prunes before the plugged-up pachyderm finally got relief.Investigators say ill-fated Friedrich, 46, was attempting to give the ailing elephant an olive oil enema when the relieved beast unloaded. The sheer force of the elephant’s unexpected defecation knocked Mr. Riesfeldt to the ground where he struck his head on a rock as the elephant continued to evacuate 200 pounds of dung on top of him. It seems to be just one of those freak accidents that proves… ‘Shit happens.’

IT ALWAYS SEEMS IMPORTANT TO THANK THESE PEOPLE FOR REMOVING THEMSELVES FROM THE GENE POOL.

How to multiply like an Egyptian has left me wishing I’d had that bloke as a maths teacher.

Its interesting for historical perspective and curiosity reason only. But by following or doing the egyptian method is not going to make one proficient in mathematics. I would stick to teaching standard algorithm of multiplication and also long division to students. WHY? These 2 can take anyone from beginning mathematics up to the highest level. For example, the (polynomial) long division is used in (numeric) approximation such as described by this guy here (graham schmidt identity).

kaya, it’s a tragedy and relevant to me also that the video slams the regulators and the bankers but doesn’t criticise the strategy which bought the Celtic Tiger to riches in the first place.

That strategy was sound and to this day remains so. Ireland’s problems stemmed from post-strategy mis-management, nothing to do with the strategy itself.

That comment he made could equally apply to every Western nation in the entire world and you know what it demarcates? The difference between the average IQ of people in Western nations vs people in Asian nations who today’s evidence suggests don’t appear to have been affected very much at all.

There’s one reason for that. We’re collectively led by the nose by self-interested wankers who care only about their own re-elections (let the good times roll) and we are collectively prepared to go with that. At this moment Asians collectively refuse to be led like that because collectively, they know better.

They will change as money corrupts them. It’s already started. Pretty soon your average bank exec in Shanghai will be earning what your average bank exec earns in NY. This is not a good thing, but it will happen and when it starts in Asia, watch their treasured traditions like looking after their elderly parents walk out the door.

reid – people are slowly asking questions about the whole financial system. If it isn’t completely overhauled soon it will implode for certain. The sooner the better.

If you have time download this PDF file. “Star Woes” a parody of Star Wars. It does a good job of explaining the problems with the present banking system in layman terms and with a bit of humour.

kaya thanks for that.

Perhaps we’ve been ships passing each other in the night. I’ve made numerous posts over the years about those issues raised in your link.

As I’m sure we both know it’s pretty bloody tiresome convincing others that’s actually how it works…

“We have to find a way of escape from the clutches of the election cycle, and at the same time retain democracy?”

Pete isn’t it shocking what it brings? For the last 3 decades, venal venal venal is how to describe our election cycle. I’m getting rather sick of paying taxes to support these organisations. Neither side does any good at all.
