The DSM is an acronym for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, but with the way it changes to accept, as normal, more and more sexual perversities, I’d suggest that Disgusting Sexual Manual is a more appropriate term. 😎

The world is currently on course to exploit all its remaining fossil fuel resources, a prospect that would produce a “different, practically uninhabitable planet” by triggering a “low-end runaway greenhouse effect.” This is the conclusion of a new scientific paper by Prof James Hansen, the former head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies and the world’s best known climate scientist.

What do they want (RMA and all that):

“Anonymous said…
What you miss is that doing business in China is actually easier and quicker – not to mention cheaper – than doing business in NZ, the UK, or the USA.

Sure in China you have to get a local party member or/and PLA officers onside. But once that’s done, it’s only a question of making some simple payments in obvious directions.

Compare that to NZ, the UK, the USA. Politicians at all levels of government. Vast amounts of local, state, federal, union, and international regulation.
In China there’s no “second guessing” – no damn court system that works against the decisions the government has made. There’s no damn protestors or pickets that interfere with your rights to development. And best of all, no unions actually mucking about with your business that you’re starting on your own damn money.

China has none of this. Want land – pay, you get land. Want to build, you build. Want workers, you get workers. And that’s it.

Compared to almost anywhere, China is a capitalist paradise.

With eight Labour MP’s conflicted by way of having accepted SkyCity corporate largesse either at RWC2011 or since, who is going to speak for Labour against the New Zealand International Convention Centre Bill later today? David Shearer can’t. Nor can Grant Robertson, Clayton Cosgrove or Annette King; a pretty solid chunk of Labour’s front bench. Add to that Trevor Mallard, Phil Goff, Kris Faafoi and Moana Mackey, and almost a quarter of the Labour caucus would be hypocritical if they spoke out against the convention centre today.

Oh dear; how sad; never mind…

Dont knock Griff too much ladies. Your hero John Key is clearly a supporter. Hansen’s beliefs underpin the reasons why the leftards want the Auckland CBD rail loop. John Key is happy to go along with the crack pots who are to piss away billions of your money in the name of Gaia. Petrol tax has already gone up.

You are paying now for Hansen’s fairy tails because of John Key & National.

It’s outrageous that the mother can claim DPB, and the father is exempt from child support becasue he was a sperm donor.
The baby was carefully planned. The father evidently plays an active part in the child’s life. And the mother even admits they are a family.

Most of the focus from Campbell Live’s item on the GCSB last night was the alighnment of dates and events in 2011 leading up to the Dotcom investigation.

But something they led with but gave no details on was:

In short, the GCSB bill allows the organisation to spy on New Zealanders and to pass what they learn on to foreign governments.

I’m trying to find out if that’s right or not but if so it’s alarming. The amendment bill is supposed to legitimise the GCSB spying on behalf of the poice and SIS for internal security issues. I thought there was a clear separation between this and providing foreign governments with information.

Could the GCSB spy on us for foreign governments?

I see Griff has found an alarmist site that reckons we will use all our organic fuels, like oil and coal. Wow. I predict we will also use all of Decembers organic lettuce harvest. So what ?

This is simply re-hashed Peak Oil which was [yet another] failed prediction. From the time oil production was predicted to plummet, it has in fact risen to record levels of production. Massive oil deposits have been found in recent years and we are not even close to running out of natures gift of fossil fuels. A gift that has allowed industrial civilisation to flourish and has improved the lives of billions of people around the globe.

Let us celebrate this wonderful gift by burning a little extra of it this cold July day 🙂

Don the Kiwi.. Kowtow et al.

I suppose that since it is not yet 9am one should reply to the two serials liars , namely Hansen and Griff (the fugitive from the Mason Clinic).

Three months ago The Outside The Beltway Group published as follows:

” **** PEAK OIL?

We have been looking, out of curiosity, at some published prognostications on World oil reserves.

We do not presume to have expert (oil exploration/production) knowledge, but we are amused by frequent doomsday predictions, and therefore put this note forward as a reminder of predictions past, together with the observation that 20/20 hindsight is wonderful. We emphasise, however, that we are not advocating adoption of the “precautionary principle” approach, as advocated by the DAGW IPCC/red melons. As one OTB our contributors noted recently:

“… ” It has always seemed to me that the ‘principle’ is a rather sanctimonious contrivance that allows people of your claimed persuasion to continue to engage in the delightful task of self-preening without the need to temper this indulgence with any obligation to think. I make no comment on what might have been the condition of mankind had this foolishness prevailed throughout human history”.”

” Following the (1973) Yom Kippur war, the CIA and other intelligence organisations compiled and circulated formal reports on future world oil production and price. The CIA report in particular, to which one of our (Wellington) contributors had officially sanctioned access, played a large role in the New Zealand Muldoon/Birch “Think Big” programme. But the CIA and the NZ (and other) Government(s) were in good company.

” We note the following (E & OE), which is based on mostly US sources (because the US has been the main driver in World oil exploration and development:
1882 — Institute of Mining Engineers estimates 95 million barrels of oil remain.
1926 — Federal Oil Conservation Board estimates 4.5 billion barrels remain.
1932 — Federal Oil Conservation Board estimates 10 billion barrels of oil remain.
1944 — Petroleum Administrator for War estimates 20 billion barrels of oil remain.
1950 — American Petroleum Institute says world oil reserves are at 100 billion barrels.
1980 — Remaining proven oil reserves put at 648 billion barrels
1993 — Remaining proven oil reserves put at 999 billion barrels
2000 — Remaining proven oil reserves put at 1016 billion barrels.
2003 — Remaining proven oil reserves put at 1212 billion barrels. (Source: Offshore Support Journal – OSJ)
2007 — Remaining proven oil reserves put at 1313 billion barrels. (OSJ)
2011 — Remaining proven oil reserves put at 1469 billion barrels. (OSJ)
2013 — Remaining proven oil reserves put at 1637 billion barrels. (OSJ)
There is a trend here, is there not?

Widespread use of fracking, and access to tar sands, will continue to increase oil reserves, while newly discovered, vast quantities of shale gas will inevitably shape our energy future. Solar, wind, tidal and other means of energy production – all high capital cost/high maintenance/short life/ un-storable (at present) means of electricity generation for domestic, industrial, and transportation purposes – will play a role, but not, in the foreseeable future, to the extent that politicians, and silly NGOs, with rose tinted spectacles, predict.
The red melon Greens will be ever so pleased! 

Actually Judith, less National MP’s accepted hospitality from SkyCity during RWC 2011; six, as opposed to Labour’s eight, despite National’s caucus being considerably larger. I can’t find the blog-post I did when the names were announced, but from memory, most of the National MP’s to accept SkyCity’s generosity were back-benchers; the leadership certainly did not, unlike Labour.

This Stuff story has some detail for you whilst I keep searching 😀

A new book entitled Inequality, a New Zealand Crisis, points out that;

* From the mid-1980s to the mid-2000s, the gap between the rich and the rest has widened faster in New Zealand than in any other developed country;

* The average household in the top 10 per cent of New Zealand has nine times the income of one in the bottom 10 per cent; and

* The top 1 per cent of adults owns 16 per cent of New Zealand’s total wealth, while the bottom 50 per cent owns just over 5 per cent.

Pete George…
The answer is “YES”, if there are national/international security implications.
It has always been thus (dating back to during and post 2, to my knowledge) , and should remain so. That is why we are part of “five eyes”.

The whole GCSB dung heap has become a time consuming distraction. As Helengrad would have said: “moved on .. nothing to see here”. Well, l she was not fight in all instances.

My impression of Campbell last night was that he was playing the idiotic conspiracy theorist, making mountains from nothing but dates.

He is a fool. But I am not, neither are you PG.

Manolo it’s because they are both beholden to Big Porn.

Big Porn has wrecked the social fabric of NZ society since the introduction of sexual liberation and no-faults divorce ect. Family is fucked while welfare is now the norm.

We are paying for the cost of that stupidity by paying higher taxes.

A conservative party vote will put a wedge in between Nats and Labour and stop the progs from wrecking NZ society further. ACT were never going to stop that as they were hi-jacked by liberals.

“America’s oil producers are nervous. They’ve had a great run the past few years. Domestic oil production is up 43% since 2008 to 6.5 million barrels per day, the highest level in decades. The majority of that 2 million bpd jump comes out of the two most successful new oil fields, the Bakken and the Eagle Ford. To develop these and all the other fields nationwide, the top 50 operators invested $186 billion in 2012, according to Ernst & Young. That was a record level of spending, up 20% over 2011.

You’d think that with drillers getting better, honing techniques and driving down costs, that a 20% increase in investment would bring about a more than commensurate increase in oil and gas production volumes, right? And yet according to Ernst & Young, total U.S. oil and gas production was up “just” 13% on the year.
It’s bad enough to be spending more and more to generate ever less growth. It’s worse when that growth doesn’t even translate into profits. Oil and gas companies have spent hundreds of billions acquiring acreage, drilling wells, booking reserves, boosting supplies, but in 2012 they proved too good at their job, found too much gas and cratered the gas price. That made vast shale fields uneconomic to drill at all. In 2012 those 50 biggest companies recorded $26 billion in asset impairment charges. That basically means that natural gas reserves that were worth $26 billion the previous year became worthless because it cost too much to drill them. This led to a 58% decline in after-tax profits in 2012 over 2011.
And you’d better believe the same thing could happen to oil reserves.

@ Judith; found it!

National MP’s also received hospitality from SkyCity, but significantly, none of the six National MP’s who declared tickets from SkyCity was a Minister. Those MP’s were Tau Henare, Tim McIndoe, Todd McClay, Lindsay Tisch, Chris Tremain and Louise Upston.

Maori Party co-leader Pita Sharples was also SkyCity’s guest for the opening match of RWC2011. The Maori Party intends to vote against the convention centre legislation, which places Mr Sharples in the same category as the Labour MP’s referred to above. We reckon it is highly likely that Winston Peters had an invite or two as well, but because he wasn’t an MP at the time of RWC2011, there was no obligation on him to declare them.

So we look forward to listening to the likes of Mr Shearer, Grant Robertson, Phil Goff, Trevor Mallard and Annette King speak when the SkyCity legislation is debated in Parliament. We suspect that 2011 will be but a distant memory, and the only problem gamblers that get a mention are those who sit at the 230 additional pokie machines that SkyCity will get in return for its investment in Auckland and New Zealand.

http://keepingstock.blogspot.co.nz/2013/05/how-do-they-feel-about-skycity-18.html

Isn’t it good that we have transparency over these things now, since John Key became Prime Minister and opened the books on pecuniary interests? Had that not happened, we would never have known who was going freebies from whom.

Any “acceptance as normal” of “sexual perversities” is in your head, and shows only how low your reading comprehension is.

2) If adolescents are not permitted to buy or use condoms then they will not have sex.

3) That those with views dissimilar to the majority may restrict the fair practice of those in the majority if their Skydaddy says so.

I have only ever crossed paths with Cosgrove once. We were at Christchurch Airport waiting to board, and Cosgrove was in such a hurry, head down and striding out that he almost collided with my wife. There was not a word of apology or acknowledgement from the then-Minister, but the private secretary following in his wake gave us a shrug of his shoulders, and a “welcome to MY world” smile. That to me spoke volumes for the type of self-important bloke that the former MP for Waimakiriri is.

Progressives- every day making our lives more free. Its coming soon to a bed and breakfast near you.

MONTPELIER, Vt. — Two New York women and a Vermont country inn have settled a lawsuit that accused the business of refusing to host the couple’s wedding reception.

The American Civil Liberties Union said Thursday the Wildflower Inn in Lyndonville agreed to pay a $10,000 civil penalty to the Vermont Human Rights Commission and to place $20,000 in a charitable trust.

Under the settlement, the inn also agreed it would no longer host weddings and their receptions. The innkeepers’ lawyer, Jim Campbell, said they had decided previously to end that part of their business.

“We’re glad that the Wildflower Inn has recognized that the way we were treated was wrong and that no other family will have to experience what we did,” said Ming Linsley in a statement released by the ACLU. “Although we found a different location and had a beautiful day, all families should feel welcome at any resort that’s open to the public.”

The ACLU said Ming Linsley and Kate Linsley contacted the civil rights organization after Ming’s mother was told by the inn’s events manager that the inn didn’t host “gay receptions” because of the innkeepers’ “personal feelings.”

Someone from big pharma coming clean

Dr. Diane Harper was the lead researcher in the development of the human papilloma virus vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix. She is the latest to come forward and question the safety and effectiveness of these vaccines.

She made the surprising announcement at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccination, which took place in Reston, Virginia on Oct. 2nd through 4th, 2009.

The Christian Heritage Party of New Zealand known for a time simply as Christian Heritage New Zealand) was a New Zealand political party espousing Christian values.
On 3 October 2006, the Party said it would disband to allow “new things to arise in Christian politics in New Zealand”. This came after a highly-publicised scandal which resulted in its leader, Graham Capill, going to jail for committing sex-crimes against young girls.

The thirteen year old asked for it according to capill.
Conservative styles for ya dime.

Why do so many conservatives worry so much about others sexuality?
Because they are repressed.

Detroit died because the car industry collapsed reddy .

Want more rules and regulations intruding into every part of your life?

Want ever growing more powerful government?

Want increased crime and violence and social mayhem?

Want ever increasing taxes?

Want eventual government bankruptcy and social destitution?

Want the continued destruction of everything that was ever good, and increased contempt for traditional western society driven by our “progressive” educators? (Dewey- we must stop teaching children how to think and tell them what to think).

Want your car running costs increased until you have to sell it?

Want increased government spying powers?

Want your private property to become public property?

Want all of these things?

Then support the Progressive culture and vote for Progressive politicians.

You’ll get all of the above (and more) and you’ll be in progressive utopia.

They just cost more due to labour costs. I cant recall the exact numbers but they were big. 3 grand cheaper to make a car in japan compared to Detroit.

but hes mainly ignorant for his “detroit collapsed because of the car market”. a left wing experiment that goes back 50 years. the place is an absolute debacle. hopefully it will become a case study at universities

Turned up on day one to get an education. I’ll give him that. I remember that well. .. later…. went into Labour at a very early age….mentor Moore, and internal labour politics being internal labour politics, probably only encouraged the ‘lessor aspects’ of the aspirational young male to shine through. The parents were very good people though and his current attitude is not a reflection of them. Cheers.

U.S. Federal Court Rules Autism & Brain Damage Caused By Big Pharma Vaccine!

The truth is, there have been several court cases where families have been granted damage payouts due to what vaccines and their ingredients have done to their children. The cases are directly linked to autism and brain damage, and each injury has been deemed “caused by vaccines.” Below I have supplied three links to court cases. Please take the time to check out each one to understand them further.

http://www.uscfc.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/CAMPBELLSMITH.%20DOE77082710.pdf
Is there more evidence linking vaccines to autism? Yes. While some studies exist to state that there is no link between vaccines and autism, I have found several that do show a link.
Given the existence of these studies and their results, I think we need to truly examine whether or not vaccines are safe and if it makes sense for us to blindly follow what we are told to do when it comes to vaccines regardless of the dangers.

Redbaiter, thanks for confirming you let your ideology get in the way of facts. I suspected as much.

Yes Griff is wrong on AGW, but that does not mean he is wrong on everything. I do not see the world divided into a simple, prog/conservative split. In fact I do not care about the label, only the idea. I evaluate each position on its merit. It is what genuine people with integrity do. You also have a serious case of, all or nothing, thinking. If someone disagrees with you on even the slightest point you attack them as prog fuckwits… blah blah. This is not a sign of a well balanced mind.

No informed person rates American cars as good. The only people who do are buying into marketing image and patriotism. The Lexus is possibly the pinnacle of modern automotive engineering, when all factors are considered. They leave most of the over rated Euro cars for dead, when reliability is factored in.

Not only that, but Japanese women are vastly more attractive than the lumbering land Dugong that inhabit the good old USA.

“What was the best-selling vehicle in the world in 2012?

Americans might say a Ford F-Series pickup, since it’s the perpetual biggest seller in the U.S. Others, recognizing their international appeal, might say it’s a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic.

It’s not. The best-selling car nameplate in the world for the second year running is the Ford Focus. More than a million were sold last year, up from 879,914 in 2011, says Ford Motor, citing data from research service R.L. Polk.”

A scientist who was invited to Australia’s Macquarie University and treated very poorly when his views did not match up with their “climate change” narrative. This isn’t science. It’s pure bullying. Trying to force someone to conform with views that haven’t even been proved. The sooner this global warming quackery is dismissed, the better. His email printed below.

From: [redacted]
Sent: Monday, July 08, 2013 2:25 PM
To: [redacted]
Subject: From Murry Salby

Thanks for your interest in the research presented during my recent lecture tour in Europe.

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2013/06/another-nail-in-the-climate-change-coffin.php

Remarks from several make it clear that Macquarie University
is comfortable with openly disclosing the state of affairs,
if not distorting them to its convenience. So be it.

Macquarie’s liberal disclosure makes continued reticence unfeasible.
In response to queries is the following, a matter of record:

1. In 2008, I was recruited from the US by “Macquarie University”,
with appointment as Professor, under a national employment contract with
regulatory oversight, and with written agreement that Macquarie would provide
specified resources to enable me to rebuild my research program in Australia.
Included was technical support to convert several hundred thousand lines of computer code,
comprising numerical models and analyses (the tools of my research),
to enable those computer programs to operate in Australia.

2. With those contractual arrangements, I relocated to Australia.
Upon attempting to rebuild my research program, Macquarie advised that
the resources it had agreed to provide were unavailable. I was given an excuse for why.
Half a year later, I was given another excuse. Then another.
Requests to release the committed resources were ignored.

3. Three years passed before Macquarie produced even the first major component
of the resources it had agreed to provide. After five years of cat-and-mouse,
Macquarie has continued to withhold the resources that it had committed.
As a result, my computer models and analyses remain inoperative.

4. A bright student from Russia came to Macquarie to work with me.
Macquarie required her to abandon her PhD scholarship in Russia.
Her PhD research, approved by Macquarie, relied upon the same computer
models and analyses, which Macquarie agreed to have converted but did not.

5. To remedy the situation, I petitioned Macquarie through several avenues provided
in my contract. Like other contractual provisions, those requests were ignored.
The provisions then required the discrepancy to be forwarded to the Australian employment tribunal,
the government body with regulatory oversight.

The tribunal then informed me that Macquarie had not even registered my contract.
Regulatory oversight, a statutory protection that Macquarie advised would govern
my appointment, was thereby circumvented. Macquarie’s failure to register
rendered my contract under the national employment system null and void.

6. During the protracted delay of resources, I eventually undertook the production
of a new book – all I could do without the committed resources to rebuild my research program.
The endeavor compelled me to gain a better understanding of greenhouse gases
and how they evolve. Preliminary findings from this study are familiar to many.

http://www.thesydneyinstitute.com.au/speaker/murry-salby/ Refer to the vodcast of July 24, 2012.

Insight from this research contradicts many of the reckless claims surrounding greenhouse gases.
More than a few originate from staff at Macquarie, which benefits from such claims.

7. The preliminary findings seeded a comprehensive study of greenhouse gases.
Despite adverse circumstances, the wider study was recently completed. It indicates:

(i) Modern changes of atmospheric CO2 and methane are (contrary to popular belief)
not unprecedented.

(ii) The same physical law that governs ancient changes of atmospheric CO2 and methane
also governs modern changes.

These new findings are entirely consistent with the preliminary findings,
which evaluated the increase of 20th century CO2 from changes in native emission.

http://www.climatedepot.com/2013/07/02/swedish-scientist-replicates-dr-murry-salbys-work-finding-man-made-co2-does-not-drive-climate-change/

8. Under the resources Macquarie had agreed to provide, arrangements were made
to present this new research at a scientific conference and in a lecture series at
research centers in Europe.

9. Forms for research travel that were lodged with Macquarie included a description
of the findings. Presentation of our research was then blocked by Macquarie.
The obstruction was imposed after arrangements had been made at several venues
(arranged then to conform to other restrictions imposed by Macquarie).
Macquarie’s intervention would have silenced the release of our research.

10. Following the obstruction of research communication, as well as my earlier efforts
to obtain compliance with my contract, Macquarie modified my professional duties.
My role was then reduced to that of a student teaching assistant: Marking student papers
for other staff – junior staff.

I objected, pursuant to my appointment and provisions of my contract.

11. In February 2013, Macquarie then accused me of “misconduct”,
cancelling my salary. It blocked access to my office, computer resources,
even to personal equipment I had transferred from the US.

My Russian student was prohibited from speaking with me.
She was isolated – left without competent supervision
and the resources necessary to complete her PhD investigation,
research that Macquarie approved when it lured her from Russia.

12. Obligations to present our new research on greenhouse gases (previously arranged),
had to be fulfilled at personal expense.

13. In April, The Australian (the national newspaper), published an article which
grounded reckless claims by the so-called Australian Climate Commission:

http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/opinion/last-summer-was-not-actually-angrier-than-other-summers/story-e6frgd0x-1226611988057 (Open access via Google News)

To promote the Climate Commission’s newest report is the latest sobering claim:

“one in two chance that by 2100 there’ll be no human beings left on this planet”

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/if-you-want-to-know-about-climate-ask-the-right-questions/story-fni0ffxg-1226666505528

Two of the six-member Australian Climate Commission are Macquarie staff.
Included is its Chief Commissioner.

14. While I was in Europe presenting our new research on greenhouse gases,
Macquarie undertook its misconduct proceedings – with me in absentia.
Macquarie was well informed of the circumstances. It was more than informed.

15. Upon arriving at Paris airport for my return to Australia, I was advised that
my return ticket (among the resources Macquarie agreed to provide) had been cancelled.
The latest chapter in a pattern, this action left me stranded in Europe,
with no arrangements for lodging or return travel.
The ticket that had been cancelled was non-refundable.

16. The action ensured my absence during Macquarie’s misconduct proceedings.

17. When I eventually returned to Australia, I lodged a complaint with the
Australian employment tribunal, under statutes that prohibit retaliatory conduct.

18. In May 2013, while the matter was pending before the employment tribunal,
Macquarie terminated my appointment.

19. Like the Australian Climate Commission, Macquarie is a publically-funded enterprise.
It holds a responsibility to act in the interests of the public.

20. The recent events come with curious timing, disrupting publication of our research
on greenhouse gases. With correspondence, files, and computer equipment confiscated,
that research will now have to be pursued by Macquarie University’s “Climate Experts”.

I don’t even know where you are coming from. As usual, its all about what you think (narcissism again) at the expense of rational debate. You want to sit in a quality built matchbox that’s your choice.

I was looking through Telecom’s broadband terms and conditions, wishing to cancel after having been 18 months on a waiting list to get broadband, and the following caught my eye.
” We are not under any obligation to monitor the Communication Services, but we reserve the right at all times to review messages and materials transmitted and accessed through a Communication Service and to disclose any information as we deem necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, governmental request or code, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any message or materials, in whole or in part, in our sole discretion. We reserve the right to terminate your use of and access to any or all of the Communication Services at any time, without notice, for any reason whatsoever.”

So we have never had many rights in the first place.

“I do not see the world divided into a simple, prog/conservative split.”

And that’s why you’ve always been useless as a political warrior.

Its like Hitler saying he wasn’t going to lose the war. There were no Russians at the gates of Berlin.

Like Saddam’s man Baghdad Bob saying there were no US tanks in Baghdad.

Like a drowning man saying “come in the water’s lovely”.

Simple minded fool.

Red, nothing to do with what I think. My thoughts do not dictate the American car market or inform the views of people who know about cars.

Another thing you won’t be aware of is how many of the various manufacturers have shares in each others companies. Your American car will include many Japanese and European engineering developments. Though not so much vise versa, because America makes crap. Many cars are sold under different badges and often employ the same basic design. Your flash euro car may largely be made by Mitsubishi.

American cars are like American women. To big and handle badly. I will stick with Asian and European in both cases.

There is no excuse for Aussie cars though !
