‘BOYolo’ – are your eyes painted on?

I know – anonymous/gutless one – that you’re trying your pathetic best to try and stir shit and discredit me – but you just make yourself look silly when you keep repeating the same old spin – to which I’ve already replied?

Ok!

AGAIN – I have not, would not and will not accept ANY donations from Kim Dotcom.

Got it?

My trip to the G20 Anti-Corruption Conference in Brisbane – I am funding myself.

Got it?

Kind regards,

Penny Bright

Some more info Kiwibloggers – including my proven previous track record of taking on John Key – FYI

MEDIA ALERT: Will the ‘Wall St poodle’ PM John Key, bail from the Helensville electorate, in case he loses to the ‘Public Watchdog’ PM Bright?
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Anyone know exactly when the National Party list is going to be announced?

I suspect that John Key will do a Bill English and stand only on the list.

Hopefully, I am wrong because I REALLY would like to give him a run for his money, when I stand as an Independent Anti-Corruption Public Watchdog in Helensville.

Imagine if supporters from ALL other parties standing in Helensville voted strategically – Penny Bright for the Helensville electorate vote, and focused on their respective Party votes?

The decent ‘Public Watchdog’ vs the shonky ‘Wall St poodle’?

The ‘Tradie’ vs the ‘Trader’?

PM (Penelope Mary ) Bright vs PM John Key?

Given that the Helensville electorate boundaries are within the Auckland Supercity boundaries, I suspect that a number of the nearly 12,000 votes obtained in the 2013 Auckland Mayoral campaign, came from there?

Whether or not the Member for Merrill Lynch John Key, takes fright at this news, (given that he kinda doesn’t like to lose – sort of thing) and bails from Helensville – that’s still where I’ll be standing, on this very clear and simple ‘ACTION PLAN against ‘white-collar crime, corruption and corporate welfare’:

http://www.pennybright4mayor.org.nz/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/ANTI-CORRUPTION-WHITE-COLLAR-CRIME-CORPORATE-WELFARE-ACTION-PLAN-Ak-Mayoral-campaign-19-July-2013-2.pdf

(Yes, I know, I don’t live in Helensville – but neither does John Key.)

But – I have taken on John Key before.

eg: In 2008 I made a complaint to Police and the SFO against John Key over his effective ‘insider-trading’ over Tranz Rail, and when they refused to do anything, I took a private prosecution.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFTYZVQo-A8

(Not ONE sentence of this was ever reported in the NZ Herald, although there were regular ‘MAN ON THE MOON’ headlines against NZ First and Winston Peters – the effect of which being to help ensure that NZ First did not make the 5% Party vote threshold.)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Will John Key profit from New Zealand’s growing debt?

– I question John Key directly at a Grey Power Public meeting 3 February 2011, when I stood against Jamie-Lee Ross in the Botany by-election:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXwNoaOpDMw

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

The one and only time I have confronted John Key directly as part of any Parliamentary process – my ‘submission’ opposing the GCSB Bill (which DID get covered in the NZ Herald:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQgLJixhB4A (The video – 3 mins)

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10894454

“The other two, James Veitch, a former academic and supporter of the GCSB bill, and Penny Bright, Auckland anti-corruption activist, mayoral candidate and opponent of the bill, were given 10 minutes each.

Bright started with a lecture about how Key does deals like the Sky City convention centre – “your deals over dinner, deals over the phone – that might be customary practice in how you do things as a foreign exchange dealer or the head of derivatives for Merrill Lynch but that is no way to run a country”.

On the spy bill, she wanted him to open up all his trust accounts, bank accounts, Swiss bank accounts, tax havens. “Nothing to hide, nothing to fear, come on Prime Minister; you show me yours and I’ll show you mine.”

Key looked like he really wanted to engage:
“Okay Penny, thanks very much. Your time has expired.”
_________________________________________________________________________________________________

PS: I’ve checked the information provided on the Parliamentary website on the current 121 MPs – seems that there is no one who has listed ‘Tradesperson’ on their ‘career’ background?

(Not all MPs have given background information about their former careers – so if anyone does have factual information which confirms that any of the current 121 MPs – does actually have a ‘Trades background – please advise 🙂

Time for the NZ House of Representatives to be a little more ‘representative’?

Time for the Public Watchdog to ask the really HARD questions from INSIDE the House?

Here goes!

Stigie@1:41pm: “Got to hand it to Penny, at least she doesnt abuse, unlike some abusive characters on here !~”

Is that the Penny Bright who called the Prime Minister “the Member for Merrill Lynch John Key”? A strange view of what constitutes abuse – slanderous comments are fair enough, eh?

Great to see quite unexpected sense from the High Court in Justice Collin’s ruling over the length of Lucan Battison’s hair. Unless he has another mission, such as mandating the length of pupil’s toenails, the power crazy head pedagogue can now get on with what he is paid to do…..educate the poor unfortunates who attend his vision of boot camp.

Strange that the normal motley group of Godstalking reactionaries who daily pontificate on these forums attacking declining standards can’t turn their attention to slightly more important things…..

…..things like the ignored bullying that took place in the Pacific CHRISTIAN School in South Auckland. The Herald article on the incident reveals that the 11 year old antagonist had been ‘ “really, really badly” bullied for more than a year’ & resorted to burying the scissors in the head of one of his tormentors. Bullying that was ignored by the authorities.

But the length of one pupil’s hair is just so much more important…….

Oh – silly me.

Of course ‘calender girl’ – you are quite correct.

Merrill Lynch was taken over by the Bank of America – in which John Key is still a shareholder:

http://www.parliament.nz/resource/en-nz/50DBHOH_PAP26178_1/a0cad8ebe2a4809754573d6bc29718336d6b3a8c

Rt Hon John Key (National, Helensville)

2 Other companies and business entities

Little Nell – property investment, Aspen, Colorado

Bank of America – banking
__________________________________________________________________________________________________

( No ‘conflict of interest’ there – move along …….. )

In my considered opinion, John Key – ‘The poodle of Wall St,’ appears very proud of his Merrill Lynch background.

It’s there for the world to see up on the NZ Government website:

http://www.parliament.nz/en-nz/mpp/mps/current/50MP78101/key-john

Rt Hon John Key

Member for Helensville, National Party

Career

Investment banker, New Zealand for 10 years
Investment banker, Merrill Lynch 1995-2001
Member, Foreign Exchange Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York 1999-2001

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Seen the ‘Wolf of Wall St’ yet ‘calender girl’?

Quite an eye-opener, in my view, as to the complete lack of laws, regulations, ethics and morals – unbridled free market capitalism at its most debauched.

Can you tell me ONE thing about Wall Street that is ‘decent’?

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11281836

Roughan argues that the more ordinary and even error-prone Mr Key appears in such moments, the more it works – because it’s marked contrast to his wealth and business success.

“The latter could easily work against him in politics if he was not seen to be so transparently normal and even average in other respects.”

Roughan says that nothing seems to be hidden with Mr Key. In private and in public, he is open-faced and talkative. He answers as many questions as reporters wish to throw at him, rather than closing them off and walking away as if he has something to hide. …”

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

hmmm …… that’s not been my experience of ‘Trader John’.

I’m still waiting for an answer to THIS question:

“What role did John Key play in the repeal of the Glass Steagall Act, which resulted in the Derivatives Market being completely deregulated, thus leading to the Global Financial Crisis?”

(The Glass Steagall Act was repealed in November 1999 – at the time that John Key was a Foreign Exchange Advisor for the New York Federal Reserve, and Head of Derivatives for Merrill Lynch.)

Did John Roughan ask chatty, transparent John Key THAT question?

If not – why not?

(Sort of takes off the rosy glow, if the Prime Minister of your country helped to bring about the global financial meltdown?

I’m sure our ‘Poodle of Wall St’ was, (and still is) VERY popular with the 1%, whose financial interests he was, (and, in my opinion, still is looking after, but ordinary Kiwi ‘mums and dads’?

Give me a break ……

Kind regards,

Penny Bright

It is a shame, Penny, that NZ Herald did not publicise any of the Courts’ decisions. For those who missed the hearings, here are some extracts from the High Court decision

“[3] On 7 November 2008 Judge Bouchier declined to authorise the issue of a
summons, upon the ground that the information supplied by Ms Bright to the Court
did not disclose the commission of an offence under s 228(b) of the Crimes Act
1961, and that the action which Ms Bright proposed to take against Mr Key was
therefore vexatious.”

…………..”

[8] However, it transpired that Ms Bright simply wished to appeal against Judge
Bouchier’s decision. An informant has no right of appeal. The proceeding in this
Court is therefore irretrievably flawed, and the appeal must be dismissed.

[9] But because I have reached a clear view that Ms Bright is unlikely to succeed
on an application for judicial review either, I propose to deal briefly with the
substance of her appeal.

…………………

[18] That is the approach adopted by Judge Bouchier in the present case. She
considered that Ms Bright had not prima facie established any of the four ingredients
of an offence under s 228(b), namely that the accused :
a) used, or attempted to use, any document;
b) did so dishonestly;
c) did so without claim of right;
d) did so with intent to obtain a pecuniary advantage.

……………………………….

[21] Likewise, it is difficult to see how Mr Key can be said to have been acting
without claim of right. In his capacity as a Member of Parliament he was entitled
ask questions of the appropriate Minister. He was also entitled, as is any citizen, to
make a written request for information pursuant to the provisions of the Official
Information Act. Mr Key’s requests were declined on the basis of commercial
sensitivity, and there matters rested. It seems to me that Mr Key was simply
exercising his legitimate rights. That was plainly the view to which Judge Bouchier
came. Her decision is perfectly understandable.”

Seems to me that this was a prosecution motivated by blind prejudice rather than anything else.

I agree wholeheartedly. This judgement sends a clear signal that when parties enter into contractual arrangements, both parties should adhere to the terms of the bargain they strike and not be permitted to ride roughshod over the counter-party by incorrectly interpreting the terms of that contract.

Only a complete fuckwit would think otherwise.

CONCLUSION

Native Affairs/Maori TV is a blatantly racist, political organ in support of Maori supremacy and the grievance industry.

It offers nothing of educational value that would be of interest to the majority of New Zealanders and, as a special interest group’s propaganda outlet, should not be funded by the taxpayer.

Wading through the typical crap before the weekend, but one comment caught my eye

Ryan Sproull

What do you think Palestinians should do when Israelis kidnap Palestinian teenagers, Elaycee? What kind of retaliation, I mean.

So Ryan is equating arresting/detaining violent criminals who are hardened jihadists, with kidnapping innocent children.
This is possibly the most disgusting piece of crap – I guess in his mind Charles Manson has also been kidnapped.

Grow up Ryan, and stop being an apologist for Terror. Hamas is using both its own children and Israel’s children as pawns in it’s ongoing war of hatred. And you are supporting them.

I think, rather than pretend to be something you’re not, you should just stick with the lying coward persona. Its an excellent fit.

I realise that you believe in sticking with what comes naturally Walter:

Kokila got a boyfriend at last?

We generally carry machete’s, slasher’s and chainsaw’s over here and keep the shotties in the boot just in case things get really serious bb.

Just so you know. 🙂

“It offers nothing of educational value that would be of interest to the majority of New Zealanders and, as a special interest group’s propaganda outlet, should not be funded by the taxpayer.”

It wouldn’t be if we had a PM with a bit of conviction.

Just another big talker who easily betrays the policies he said were important to him before the election.

He only had one policy Red. It was to be PM for two terms. Now three or four.

I much prefer him to the alternatives! 🙂

” You’re not the Minus Monster are you Red? ”

Seriously hurt to think you might suspect that JB.

He only had one policy Red.

Too bad it wasn’t: “do the right thing even if it’s not going to be popular.”

That would have turned him from “good to many” declining into “great to a few,” but growing as each year passes.

I see john key is raising the tax on petrol

Nice one John.

He has planned for another increase after this one too.

Surely our ‘rockstar’ economy is bringing in enough cash.

It started out innocently enough.
I began to think at parties now and then to loosen up. Inevitably
though, one thought led to another, and soon I was more than just a social thinker. I began to think alone — “to relax,” I told myself– but I knew it wasn’t true. Thinking became more and more important to me, and finally I was
thinking all the time.
I began to think on the job. I knew that thinking and employment don’t mix, but I couldn’t stop myself. I began to avoid friends at lunchtime so I could read Thoreau and Kafka.
I would return to the office dizzied and confused, asking, “What is it
exactly we are doing here?” Things weren’t going so great at home either. One evening I had turned off the TV and asked my wife about the meaning of life. She spent the night
at her mother’s. I soon had a reputation as a heavy thinker. One day the boss called me in.
He said, “Skippy, I like you, and it hurts me to say this, but your thinking, stop thinking on the job, or you’ll have to find another job.”
This gave me a lot to think about. I came home early after my conversation with the boss. “Honey,” I confessed, “I’ve been thinking…”
“I know you’ve been thinking,” she said, “and I want a divorce!”
“But Honey, surely it’s not that serious.” “It is serious,” she said, lower lip quivering. “You think as much as university professors, and they don’t make any money, so if you keep on thinking we won’t have any money!” “That’s a faulty syllogism,” I said impatiently, and she began to cry. I’d had enough. “I’m going to the library,” I snarled as I stomped out
the door.
I headed for the library, in the mood for some Nietzsche, with NPR on
the radio. I roared into the parking lot and ran up to the big glass doors …they
didn’t open. The library was closed.
To this day, I believe that a Higher Power was looking out for me that
night. As I sank to the ground clawing at the unfeeling glass,
whimpering for Zarathustra, a poster caught my eye. “Friend, is heavy thinking ruining your life?” it asked.

You probably recognize that line. It comes from the standard Thinker’s
Anonymous poster. Which is why I am what I am today: a recovering
thinker. I never miss a TA meeting.

At each meeting we watch a non-educational video; last week it
was”Porky’s.”Then we share experiences about how we avoided thinking since the last meeting.
I still have my job, and things are a lot better at home.
Life just seemed … easier, somehow, once I stopped thinking. And soon — I will be able to vote for the NZ Conservatives.
