Apparently a condition of Brian Bruce’s documentary about child poverty was that TV3 air it in the week of the election campaign,
which demonstrates his political agenda. The doc. was made to negatively attack the government with pro lab. self righteousness.

NZ on Air and other officials have rightly raised concerns about bias. It was the timing. Ok if Lab. was paying but again, hoofs
in taxpayer trough. using us for party political backdoor influence (like Union fees).

Israel’s Foreign Minister Faces Corruption Charges:

➡ “Described once by an American magazine editor as a “neo-fascist” and a “certified gangster”, Israel’s firebrand Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman is no stranger to controversy.”

Scott Chris, you might find this article better written than the drivel reprinted from the Guardian.

http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=254037

I mean, what relevance to quotes from an unnamed “American Magazine Editor” have to a first sentence.

Findings of a long-term study of 1265 kids born in Christchurch in 1977 revealed:

Professor Fergusson said the study showed that income inequality and behavioural issues, such as parents’ addictions, both had to be tackled to fix social problems.

“For example, increasing the income of substance-using parents may be counter-productive since it will give them more access to purchasing alcohol or drugs,” he said.

So yes, no real surprise about that.

Here’s my daily troll baiting.

Here is a new video detailing the different elements of the collapse of the three WTC buildings on 911.
Bombs in the basement and the lobby and three pyroclastic flows as hot as a vocano’s pyroclastic flow are some of the puzzling and unexplained issues addressed here.

Enjoy!

Front page of the herald online has a small headline “more sexist beer ads coming?” and a picture from a tui ad.

Why is it ok to portray men as total fuckwits on ads? every second ad has some dopey guy on it.

TV3 call it “Doco censorship an ‘affront to democracy'”

I call their timing an affront to democracy.

A week or three earlier would have been a legitimate addition to the election debate. Leaving no time to debate makes it look like another attempt to influence the outcome of the election.

I didn’t see the doco so I’ll reserve judgement, but the fact that RNZ and TV3 are squealing about it gives me an idea as to the political implications of the doco :). I doubt they would be if it was a doco that discussed an issue with right wing perspectives during the election campaign.
I was pissed off with the Media 7 coverage of the issue after the election as well, it was basically an open forum for the doco producer to explain why it wasn’t biased. Not that the Media7 guy has left leaning sympathies of course…

I agree. Young men are portrayed as being particularly stupid. I think a Libra ad..but lots of others. This seems to have been going on for ages. I always think if it was young women or women being made to look so ridiculous , there would be lots of complaints. I think men should start complaining. Young men have had it rough in the schools with all the ”girls know everything and more” campaign..Many young women look down on young men and consider themselves to be so much better. Hardly surprising with all the brainwashing they have been subjected to.

Is there a case to hold the mother culpable to some degree in every child murder, regardless of
who the actual murderer is ?

‘Police are trying to build a picture of the movements of Wanganui triplet Hinekawa Topia in the weeks
before her death.’

These triplets were 2 months old and it would seem that the mother had no idea where they were.
(if the mother doesn’t give a fuck, who the fuck does ?)

Also. Continuing the non leadership from Maori leaders on the issue of Maori child murders,
Tariana Turia makes a helpfull contribution in todays Herald.
“It’s really important that the family be left to get on
with sorting out whatever it is they need to, and it’s not helpfull for me or anybody else to be
commenting.” she said.
A little late for the family to start sorting things out don’t you think Tariana ?

And another timely gem from the mouth of Norm Hewitt,
“Her death is a reminder that the country needed to take a look at how so many children were
so vulnerable to abuse.”
Nice one Norm.

Maybe Norm is right, maybe it’s time to take a look. FFS.

Why all the fuss about the Children in Poverty documentary?

Who looked at it? I started to but at about 3 minutes in I realised it was a no-good-news tale of woe without contributing anything.

What’s more, no-one I know looked at it or has mentioned it in conversation, and apart from discussions on a couple of blogs, and today on the news, there has been total silence.

If it had had anything useful to say I think I would have heard about it, one way or another.

A couple of interesting aspects to this article published this morning:

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/media-publishing-industry/news/article.cfm?c_id=707&objectid=10778603

Here’s an extract:

Israeli military analyst Ron Ben-Yishai, in the newspaper Yediot Achronot, suggested Iran feared a Westerm strike if it retaliated. “Under such circumstances, Israel or a Western coalition (or both) will have an excellent pretext to strike and destroy Iran’s nuclear and missile sites,” he said.

Pretext: a purpose or motive alleged or an appearance assumed in order to cloak the real intention or state of affairs.

So, if the implication that Israel is carrying out these murders on foreign soils is to be believed, the reasoning is that an in-kind response to these attacks against a sovereign state is a pretext for an all out attack.

But, if one has a genuine reason for war against another country, why not just declare war and have at it?

And what is the true reason for war against Iran? One view for which I have a great deal of sympathy is that the military-industrial complexes of both countries, intertwined as they are, depend upon their populations being kept in a constant state of fear and terror over non-existent, even laughable, threats.

Sadly for Israel, this is not considered reason enough in international law. Not that that would matter if the US climbed onboard, hegemonic imperial powers can do anything, but the US has specifically ruled out action in the current circumstances.

Iran will do nothing to change that calculus and will carry on developing nuclear technology as permitted within the framework of the NPT – to which Iran is a signatory, unlike Israel.

“A Polish court slapped a fine on a popular singer who bad-mouthed the Bible…

Dorota Rabczewska, a singer who uses the stage name Doda, said in a 2009 interview that she doubted the Bible “because it’s hard to believe in something that was written by someone drunk on wine and smoking some herbs.”

A Warsaw court ordered her Monday to pay a fine of 5000 zlotys (NZ$1827) for offending religious feelings.”

http://www.stuff.co.nz/oddstuff/6269061/Poland-fines-singer-for-bashing-Bible

Ohhh poor wee Christians. Such sensitive souls.

I wonder when we are going to get rid of the ridiculous s123 of the Crimes Act which makes “Blasphemous Libel” an offence? Time for Christians to be told they can shove their oppressive dogma up their own arses I feel.

Of course removing s123 would have no practical effect as it is a law never enforced, but symbolism is important and we must be clear with ourselves that we are a tolerant secular society that doesn’t punish people merely because they offend some neanderthal who believes in sky pixies.

I see that Gareth Morgan has been “nationalised” by Kiwi Bank.
Great philanthropy with taxpayers money paying for it. Without Government (taxpayer funding via the Post Office) regularly backing of Kiwi Bank it would probably not be solvent.
Morgan’s Kiwisaver results have been piss poor. What is he going to save now – first a penguin, now a smelly drunkard’s funeral – what next.

He said he felt sorry for his whanau but the youth had crossed the line: “He could have robbed it (the caravan) and left it at that,” the man said.)

Haha – the Muppet marine terrorists from Sea Shepherd are bleating loudly because 3 of their ilk were ‘injured’ when they tried to hinder a Japanese ship going about its legal business on the high seas. Apparently these muppets were in rubber duckies trying to impede the progress of one of the Japanese boats and they were hit with bamboo poles / water cannons / grappling hooks. Unlucky. Oh dear. How sad. Tut tut. What a shame.

The terrorists admitted: “Our small boats were attempting to slow down the Japanese harpoon vessel Yushin Maru No 2…..” But of course, the NZ media saw this as an attack by the Japanese (as evidenced by the NZ headline).

But the more balanced SMH reported:

“A Sea Shepherd photograph taken from a helicopter shows Japanese crew members holding a grappling hook over the bow of the Yushin Maru No.2. Videos released by the whalers’ Institute of Cetacean Research today show crew members dodging paint-filled bottles, and one of them sharply thrusting a pole near a Sea Shepherd activist in a dinghy that was alongside the Yushin Maru No.2. The activist appears to be holding a short-bladed knife near protective anti-boarding nets that surround the Japanese ship….”

I’m not exactly rapt with the idea of whales being killed for food, but these Sea Shepherd terrorists are out of control. And when it all ends in tears, I wonder whether they’ll expect the Japanese to come to their rescue….

upon reflection

i’ll adjust my suggestion @ 12.15 today to,

is there a case to hold a parent culpable to some extent in the murder of children in their control
when that parent is found to not even know the location of their 2 month old ‘tamariki’ for 2 weeks,
(and give even less of a fuck)
What about the father ? (oh sorry, how stupid of me.)

Sumsing has to be done. If nothing changes, nothing will change.

Norm Hewitt and Tariana Turia et al are not the answer.
They are part of the fucken problem.

The “farno” in court today to ‘support’ the 16 year old ‘warrior’ who raped a 5 year old gives you a clue.
These vermin just don’t understand.
We must make them understand.
We have learned nothing since the “tight five” supported the murderer of the Kahui twins.

Don’t these Maori scum make you sick and disgusted to be a Kiwi ?
Their own leaders accept it.

My suggestion might help.
It couldn’t do any harm.

What’s your idea ?

After hearing a couple’s complaints that their intimate life wasn’t what
it used to be, the sex counsellor suggested they vary their position.
“For example,” he suggested, “you might try the wheelbarrow. Lift her
legs, penetrate and off you go.”

The eager husband was all for trying this new idea as soon
as they got home.

“Well, OK,” the hesitant wife agreed, “but on two conditions. First if
it hurts, you’ll stop right away and second,” she insisted, “you must
promise we won’t go past my mother’s house.”

Untill Maori leadership get the message that their people and the rest of New Zealand are disgusted with them,
nothing will change.
Maori are tribal.
The chiefs are sweet. they have their snouts in the trough.
The only change that will count is when Maori chiefs condemn this shit and accept ownership.
Sadly that will not happen with the current ‘leadership’ of Maori.
All they know is the “poor me syndrome.’
We await the arrival of a Maori leader to restore Mana.
Untill then. they will keep killing their children.

…”We await the arrival of a Maori leader to restore Mana.”…..

You may be waiting for an indecent length of time. The problem is pan Maori yet the solution, if it exists, must be tribal if it is to utilise their social structure. Add to the pile the fact that many Maori living in disfunctional city families have only a tenuous connection to their tribal background.

It is a mistake we Pakeha make when we consider Maori as a people. There never was a Maori nation. Hapu settled & lived in their own areas & relations with their neighbours were not always friendly. There are deep rifts in traditional Maori society which makes pan Maori solutions extremely difficult.

I can’t see where a unifying leadership is going to come from.

‘There never was a Maori nation.’
True. But.
Come the time . Come the man/woman
A leader must arise now with modern communication possibilities.
This is a critical time for Maori.
If there is no one to step up to the plate they are fucked.
one thing is for sure,
the Maori leader who may do this, for all our good, is not visible yet.
Present Maori leaders are a disgrace.
(a sickening disgrace)

i hope that a true tribal Maori leader may emerge somehow and lead
their people to the benefit of all New Zealand.
