Me, Im waiting for the rationale behind weddy’s assertion that DB should have been shot after being found guilty 17 years ago 🙂

Last year someone from the GCSB leaked to David Shearer with a claim there was evidence that never surfaced.

Recently someone leaked to Winston Peters with a claim there was evidence that never surfaced.

In both cases it seems that damaging the National Government was the intent, or at least an obvious consequence. The difference this time is that Dunne was either another target or just collateral damage.

Peters and Shearer leaks have similarities

This could be far more serious than just the doing in of Dunne.

Black men — other than educated elites — have tended to have been treated pretty shabbily by the politically correct elite establishment, especially when they insist on speaking their own minds.
Note also that since the 1960s most social spending has been concentrated on programs for women and children. Black women with college degrees now far outnumber black men with college degrees. Unemployment remains a huge problem for black men as does the continuing decline of stable, intact families.
One does not have to read very deeply in publication aimed at black audiences to see that the culture wide war on men can be waged with particular nastiness in parts of the black community, due in large part to the disparity in education and career prospects between men and women. While they constantly bemoan the lack of well educated, employed and thus “marriageable” black men, the black women in these publications seldom, if ever, consider reforming a system that has bestowed them with both credentials and highly paid, secure jobs, often on the government payroll.

In the 1940s and 50s, largely young black males in the civil rights movement would ask their elders what has 80 years of loyal support for the party of Lincoln actually gotten our people?
The answer too often was a lot of patronizing lip service and not much else ever since a war weary North abandoned Southern Reconstruction and allowed the establishment of Jim Crow.

Now we seem to have other black men asking what 60 years of solid support for the Democrats has gotten black voters. And they don’t like the answer — dependency on a government more interested in retaining power than in genuinely helping people.

Or Labour & Labour-lite and their ‘poverty striken brown party members’ 😎

Desperate attempts by the desperate – nothing more than what was expected.
That article is so full of factual errors it is difficult to know where to begin.
Robin Bain had bruises and scratches on his hands, as well as the residue marks left by the magazine.
The bruising etc is evident in Dr Dempster’s photos and has been known about for years.

Whoever wrote that should slap themselves around a bit until they reach a level of reality.

Okay – so lets see you refute the evidence then. Perhaps offer some realistic explanations for what those marks were, if they weren’t from loading the magazine?

We know they weren’t scratches or cuts, because the skin was not broken.
We know they were the same colour as gunshot residue
We know they sat on the skin not ‘in’ the skin, and that they were achieved by pressure on some surface.
We know David didn’t know about them, because if he had, he would have used them for his defense years ago.
We know the substance was such that it had disappeared by the time Dr Dempster did his examination, and therefore it was not something that would have been received the day or even night before.
We know the measurement between the lines fits exactly with the magazine.
and so on.

Perhaps you could share what you know, that makes the obvious not so?

Dunno Judith, but a) I’m not going to place much confidence in the accuracy of a measurement from an old photograph, unless there was something (like a ruler) also in the photograph to give a decent reference and b) this is the only (only!) thing that the Bain camp has beyond vague character assassination of the last of David’s victims and far-fetched explanations for all the evidence that points to David.

Remember all that stuff about the rules for weighing up circumstantial evidence? I might suggest you look at it again, should be easy given that you’ve only the one piece to weigh.

Seeing Things That Are Not There (For Long)

While in China, an American is very sexually promiscuous and does not use a condom. A week after arriving back home in the States, he wakes one morning to find his penis covered with bright green and purple spots. Horrified, he immediately goes to see a doctor. The doctor, never having seen anything like this before, orders some tests and tells the man to return in two days for the results.

The man returns a couple of days later and the doctor says, ‘I’ve got bad news for you, you’ve contracted Mongolian VD. It’s very rare and almost unheard of here in the US, we know very little about it.’

The man looks a little perplexed and says, ‘Well, give me a shot or something and fix me up, Doc.’ The doctor answers, ‘I’m sorry, there’s no known cure. We’re going to have to amputate your penis.’

The man screams in horror, ‘Absolutely not! I want a second opinion!!!’ The doctor replies, ‘Well, it’s your choice. Go ahead, if you want, but surgery is your only option.’ The next day, the man seeks out a Chinese doctor, figuring that he’ll know more about the disease.

The Chinese doctor examines his penis and proclaims, ‘Ah, yes, Mongolian VD. Very ware disease.’

The guy says to the doctor, ‘Yeah, yeah, I already know that, but what can we do? My American doctor wants to cut off my penis!’

The Chinese doctor shakes his head and laughs. ‘Stupid American doctor, always want operate. Make more money that way. No need to amputate!’

‘Oh, thank God!’ the man exclaims.

‘Yes,’ says the Chinese doctor. ‘Wait two week. Fall off by itself…!’

I got one! After shooting his father, David arranged the scene with the rifle, pressed the magazine against Robin’s thumb to leave the marks and then placed the mag (on it’s edge, as it never would have landed if dropped) beside Robin’s hand and went off to wash his clothes that were soaked in his brother’s blood.

How’s that?

I did not watch the whole show but what I saw was significant. The idea that David “planted” the marks is unrealistic because, as Judith says, it would have come to life years ago.

If they are not magazine marks, what are they? Is there any other explanation than that given? Was the crown given time for informed comment?

I will wait for any counter-argument but assuming the evidence and inferences to be correct (which I am not necessarily prepared to do at this stage) it will make the government reflect a little more deeply on the matter.

James S makes a very valid point about viewing the totality of the evidence and not focussing on one as yet untested fact.

—————————-

1. Robin Bain’s measurement were taken during the examination by Dr Dempster (this is standard)
2. From those measurements it is possible to find the ‘size’ of the thumb and expand the photo scientifically to meet that criteria.
3. From that process they are then able to measure exactly what the distance between the two marks is.

Secondly:
There is a lot of evidence that points to Robin Bain being the killer that does not involve the fact his daughter/s disclosed incest or that is character destroying (although it is a little bit difficult to show how a man killed his family, without destroying his character).

For starters, perhaps you would care to explain the blood splatter evidence on Robin and the position he was in when the fatal shot was applied?
Then you might like to explain using Baynesian theory, how all the stats from evidence support suicide by a far greater than they support being shot by someone else?
And that is just for starters, after that you could perhaps explain the wounds on his hands, his previous use of the weapon and so on….

You are stretching the truth a very long way to say there is no other evidence against Robin.

What a load of silly pommey tosh on TV 3 last night re Tamoxofen and double mastectomies..They acted as if Tamoxofen was something new , some huge break through..And the patronising , ugly old git said he thought woman wouldn’t mind the side effects..I thought we had suddenly slipped back into the 1950s. NZ women have been minding the side effects for some time..They take this drug for five years after breast cancer treatment and are usually so glad when the five years are up.
Was it really some anti Angelina Jolie campaign???..Who would know..it was so bizarre and so old fashioned..I pity English women if this is how they are treated..
Then the big joyful clanger at the end..Tamoxofen costs 120 pound , a mastectomy costs ten thousand..Why does a mastectomy cost so much? Because of the greed of silly old tossers like the one doing the rant.
Perhaps it was really a story about budget advice…?? I give up
Thank God most male doctors in NZ seem to be alive and well in 2013.

Both the Police and Crown Forensic experts who had been involved in the case were at the recent testing. They have not made any comment, which if there was something to say that would refute the claims being made, they certainly would have by now. They have had plenty of opportunity.

And so, David sat through two trials, and many long years in prison and waited until someone else discovered the evidence that would have cleared him 20 years ago?

He was shown those photos over and over, and had plenty of opportunity to raise awareness to those marks, but never did?
Now why would he go to the trouble of setting the scene to implicate his father, and then not do exactly that by drawing attention to it?

Sorry – that’s a fail for you!

Would it…? If David had planted the marks he would have been assuming the Police would have found them as a matter of course…that they didn’t due to seriously sloppy work may have nixed that plan and David could not then try to bring them to anyone’s attention as that would look suss as hell for him…

The marks on Robin’s thumb don’t look anything like the smudges produced in the experiment. Quite different. I picked out A008 from the other photographs immediately. 1. Marks look like trauma. A small very dark spot that looks like blood in/under the skin. 2. The lines are not parallel. Although my depth perception is described by my ophthalmologist as “exceptional” I await the opinion of an independent forensic scientist.

http://davidbain.counterspin.co.nz/evidence/the-rifle-magazine-appeared-to-be-planted-next-to-robin-bains-body

Look above the ring finger on the palm. Two similar marks, lines about the same distance apart. There are marks all over the hands. Hope there are lots of photos too.

I am expected to believe that the pathologist, who walked into a scene that was thought by the police at the time to be suicide, saw the clip next to the hand but didn’t notice the gunshot residue (GSR)?

There is only one “smoking gun”. Robin almost certainly would have held the rifle by the muzzle to guide it to his temple. (He wouldn’t have wanted to mess up.) Robin’s prints are not there, but Stephen’s are. Two pristine sets. Even if for some strange reason the rifle accepted Stephen’s but not Robin’s, why are Stephen’s pristine prints not smudged?

The scene looks like the clip was placed to make it look as if it fell from Robin’s hand. Why and how would he hold the clip? If he placed it himself, why under a low table? Why not on the table or just drop it?

The relentless media campaign continues.

Andrew Bolt on Juliar and sexism!

“…….Even at the end, the gender card is played:

Ms Gillard said there had been a lot of talk about her playing the “gender card”.

“The reaction to being the first female prime minister does not explain everything about my prime ministership, nor does it explain nothing about my prime ministership,” she said.

“It explains some things and it is for the nation to think in a sophisticated way about those shades of grey.

“What I am absolutely confident of is it will be easier for the next woman and the woman after that … and I am proud of that.”

My column:

Dear ex-Prime Minister, I am writing as the father of a much-loved 14-year-old girl you inspired.

At her grade six valedictory dinner my daughter told the audience her ambition was to be Prime Minister, too.

She got a big hand. I was so proud.

Back then there was something I admired in you as well.

At your first press conference as Prime Minister you waved away a question about being our first woman in the job.

“Well there may be some firsts. When you look back in the history books all the photos are in black and white, so first woman, maybe first redhead.

“We’ll allow others to delve into the history.”

You were no one’s victim then, and demanded no favors or excuses.

I praised you for your “secure sense of self”. You’d “steered away from the identity politics of the Left”.

But you changed, and have betrayed the women you inspired.

See, two years ago you started to trade on your gender.

“I’m Australia’s first female prime minister,” you declared in a speech to Emily’s List, dedicated to putting Left-wing women into Parliament..

“Today I think of all the women who made my journey possible.”

Your tribal appeal for women to vote for women has been pursued ferociously.

You shout “misogynist” and lash out at sexists, real or imagined. Two weeks ago you even warned women to beware of “men with blue ties”.

You seemed to imagine men at war with women, but that’s not my daughter’s world. The men she knows would do anything for her.

Yet your loyal female MPs repeated your victim story, insisting no political leader has suffered such abuse.

But everyone in politics gets abused. Only two days ago your Ministers abused the Opposition Leader as a “drunk” who “didn’t care” when boat people drowned.

You lost your job not for what you are but what you’ve done: your broken promises, your blown budgets, your open borders, your politics of division.

Please now consider the young women who dream to be leaders, too.

Don’t preach defeat. Don’t tell them a lie – that sexist men will drag down even a good woman. Even a Prime Minister.

Sexism did not stop you becoming Prime Minister, and sexism did not now take that job from you.

Your failure is your own. You were given a chance and you blew it.

Tell all our daughters the truth. The world is theirs….’

Girls should listen to their fathers more! 😎

Whenever women have insisted on absolute equality with men, they have invariably wound up with the dirty end of the stick. What they are and what they can do makes them superior to men, and their proper tactic is to demand special privileges, all the traffic will bear. They should never settle merely for equality. For women, “equality” is a disaster.

So it was Auckland Part 1 yesterday….with more to come….like:
Will loony Len have to sell some airport or port shares to meet his 50?
Will the Government do what it has done with ChCh and use a dedicated portion of the asset write down proceeds to fund its 50%?
(Think of the bennies for National. Continue to attack the asset write down and you are attacking your pet rail loop – and all those “jobs”.)

Will Par 2 involve another motorway project and extra bus infrastructure go make the silly, over hyped, rail loop work?
Will J. Key use Part 2 to explain how the central business district of Auckland is the economic driver of New Zealand? No, because that is a bullshit statement by loopy Len.

Now for ChCh….

Will the silly TV “personality” et al (and his puppet master, Maryatt) have to sell down some or all of their trading assets?
Have to be a quid pro quo in the mix, would there not?

The ChCh leadership is dopey enough to reject a shared fiscal responsibility. They are like a once rich family – holding on their family silver while they are strangled by a cash flow deficit. Worse, they ignore the already generous taxpayers support and seek to emulate Oliver….

While popping out to the hole-in-the-wall for a coffee, I read a breathless news headline announcing how Rudd had sought “revenge” on a “female” PM.

This sort of anti male/females are victims mentality is so ingrained and normalised that I suspect no one noticed or cared. She is not a victim of anything beyond her own lack of ability and integrity. She was the most powerful person in Australia and is not a victim of a males revenge.

You really are such a pathetic cowardly moron. You keep repeating this complete and utter lie. If you look back you’ll find where I said Bain’s case would not qualify for the death penalty.

You’re just so hopeless. You lie. You have no brain. You have no honour. You’re a good example of why I despair for the political state of our country, in that you actually do represent a large sector of the voting public who like you have no shame and will stop at nothing to advance their progressive political agenda.

I missed the full sory about NZ Post but they gave 2 or 3 recaps during the show.

A progressive and another well known coward and liar who cannot even write a coherent message expresses a willingness for “debate”.

Conservatives will stand and fight. They will debate. Not Progressives.

I am coming more and more to the realisation that the underlying basis of Progressivism is cowardice, in that there is hardly a one here on this blog who will conduct themselves with any kind of honour or self respect. They will not fight on the issues. They will all lie and smear and divert at the drop of a hat. And worse, they just do not care about such deceit and such cowardice. They laugh and consider themselves funny and smart and smugly declare themselves as victors, when in most cases they have contributed nothing but untruth and that by means of a complete lack of personal integrity. Such odious behaviour and so widespread it is despairing. A great divide in our country, the brave and the cowardly.

An astonishing example of Progressive double standards. What does this say about the depth of the rot in our society when this kind of disgusting and appalling declaration is made by our governments, and is not challenged by any politician or person?

UK society is a suffocating quagmire of lies and deceit and cowardice.

Two prominent US bloggers have been banned from entering the UK, the Home Office has said. Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer co-founded anti-Muslim group Stop Islamization of America. They were due to speak at an English Defence League march in Woolwich, where Drummer Lee Rigby was killed. A government spokesman said individuals whose presence “is not conducive to the public good” could be excluded by the home secretary. He added: “We condemn all those whose behaviours and views run counter to our shared values and will not stand for extremism in any form.”

You need to lead us weddy, to the promised land. Or is it easier proclaiming others wont debate whilst you do the same and just hurl hilarious banal labels around the place?

But nice to se you give Progressivism a capital “P” 🙂

Agenda 21 Full Speed Ahead As Monsanto Buys Organic Seeds And Tar Sands Pipeline Proceeds Across America’s Breadbasket, Prepare To Starve. Snowden Saga Takes Spotlight From David Chase Taylor

by Steve Apple

Monsanto enjoying the usual role of holding hands with corporate planners and peanut butter sandwich eaters at the U.N. is now buying up organic seed companies with the new push on by Americans to buy organic seed. (Yeah some are beginning to notice). There are a few seed companies they have not engulfed and it might be wise to look into buying your seeds from them. There are a few things that can be done other than speculating on which country will be invaded next or where the next drone strike will be. They are (dead set) on reducing the population.

Waking times has listed some seed companies worth taking a look at. Monsanto has bought up Semminis so they no longer exist for me. Back in 2005 Monsanto grabbed 40% of the organic seed market. wakingtimes

I am debating, and I have called you out on your lies.

Something you don’t even have the guts to apologise for.

Do you think a country benefits from the presence of people like you. No integrity. No self respect. No honour? How can liars and cowards help anyone else aspire to anything? You do nothing but bring us all down.

Well, given the other day you told the world I was holding you prisoner, I feel its only right I bring you down, otherwise I wouldn’t be doing my job properly would I?

You sad vacuous wee man. You flail about talking about honour and courage, and yet your MO is abuse and derision, not debate or engagement. Im sure that’s because the strength of your argument is too strong to call in to question, and the mere act of doing so, in your eyes, is to call into question my / our intellect.

Happily enter a battle of wits with you any day weddy, your bluster and abuse might work elsewhere, but not here. I laugh in your general direction, again.

“I laugh in your general direction, again.”

Yes I know. After you have tried to smear me. After you have lied. That is what I am complaining about. Its what makes you a coward in my mind. Anyone with any personal integrity would merely write some simple words of apology and withdraw their false allegation. Not you though. You have no shame for your baseless smears. (And do not think I get any satisfaction in realising how deeply and widely this affliction of cowardice exists within our society.)

“The recap – 500 jobs to go at nz post. no mention of the 380 or so jobs they are creating elsewhere. To me that is just outright deception. disgraceful sensationalism.”

But new jobs in a different city are of no use to people, that would mean going into huge dept to move the family to the other end of the country with no certainty of a job that will last the length of time it takes to pay off the debt.

I have never used any such device, and that you would constantly make this untrue smear is yet another example of the vacuous cowardice that is so common to your contributions to this forum.

It is not debating any real political issue. It is as I said above, a device to divert from the issues and force me to defend myself against a completely false allegation. Straight out of Joseph Stalin’s Russia and his kanagaroo courts.

Not only does it demonstrate cowardice and a lack of integrity, such a false allegation reveals your own insecurity in your oft expressed progressive belief that your ideas meet with general apporoval and those who oppose them are small in number and isolated.

That I so completely oppose you, and at the same time receive a large degree of support from lurkers and others is something that threatens your fragile ego, so you must do all you can to reject that reality. So you made up the lie that I was up voting myself.

As I said, just dishonourable lying smearing cowards, why our country is in the shitter, and why we may never climb out of it without some significant internal confrontation.

“they are party jumping unprincipled conservative troughers as far as I’m concerned.”

I share your scorn for these people, but not one one of those three is even close to being a Conservative. Like most politically one dimensional Progressives, you have absolutely no real understanding of other political ideas. Your perceptions are completely stunted by the limitations of your education and your life experience.

What else can I go on but what I read here, and as is so plain, I’m not at all impressed. Many people can contribute here without the need for smears and lies, and I am pleased to say that in most cases these people are my supporters. I don’t though need the support of people who don’t know what I am talking about when I reference self respect.

Scott Chris at 11.45 – no tacit admission on my part, I thought your bullshit was obvious.

I’ve always made it clear I comment independently and I have never been under any instruction from any politician. I sometimes ask Dunne questions and he usually gives me an answer, our communication is rarely different to that. I sometimes ask other politicians questions too, and sometimes get replies.

I have not talked to any politician about the Bain case, that was a pathetic accusation, completely without foundation, and totally false. So it has to be seen as an attempted smear typical of dirty politics.

If you disagree with what I say then debate the issue. Don’t make shit up to make personal attacks.
