Will Cameron really mind if Craig is successful in his latest claim?

Colin Craig appears to have claimed ownership of a poem allegedly written for his former press secretary, Rachel MacGregor.
WhaleOil blogger Cameron Slater posted the poem, “Two of Me”, on his site in July – the day Craig stepped down as leader from the Conservative Party.
In an email to the blogger, seen by media, Craig claimed a “copyright dispute”
[…] and wanted $3000 per month for the use of his work and a “clear breach of copyright”.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11550651

If Craig can get $3000 per month for a krappy little poem of six short lines, what will Nicky Hager owe Cameron Slater for copyright infringement?

Hager’s book DIRTY POLITICS even asserts (in the first few pages) copyright for Hager himself.

Fucking Turks are treacherous bastards. Engaged in a war against Assad and now engaging in an act of war against Russia. All the while supporting Islamic terror ,some of which is happening in Europe.

Should be expelled from NATO.

Demand
Ahmed Mohamed, a Muslim-American teenager from Irving, Texas, who was arrested after bringing a homemade clock to school, is demanding damages from the city and school district.

… As a result of the above-described violations of Ahmed’s constitutional, statutory, and
common law rights, and the damages flowing from those violations, we demand the following:

1. Ten million dollars as compensation for the damages Ahmed suffered at the hands
of the City of Irving and its employees.

2. A written apology from Mayor Van Duyne acknowledging that she has never
been presented with any evidence that Ahmed was a “pawn” in any “civilization
jihad” or that the events here were planned by Ahmed’s family or friends as part
of an “influence operation.”

3. A written apology from Police Chief Larry Boyd acknowledging that Ahmed
Mohamed never intended to threaten anyone, and that his detention, interrogation,
and arrest were wrongful and were made at a point in time when there was no
reasonable suspicion to believe that Ahmed had committed a crime or was about
to commit any crime.

If you fail to comply with the above demands within sixty days from the date of this letter, you should expect that we will file a civil action addressing the causes of action and events described in this letter.

If you have any questions concerning these matters, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Very truly yours,
Kelly D. Hollingsworth

Miriama Kamo considers that she (and presumably her husband) was ‘naive’ in not realising a council consent was required before making alterations and improvements to their up-market Waiheke property. Considering her husband Michael Dreaver has made a great deal of money from his involvement in Treaty of Waitangi settlements, I don’t think that ‘naive’ is a word that would readily come to mind to describe either of this couple.

Fucking Turks are treacherous bastards.

Yes they are, and so are the Russians. International thugs both of them.

Hilarious to see them at each other’s throats. Like watching a Mongrel Mob / Black Power fight, and seeing gang members get hurt.

But this will all blow over pretty quickly, and both Russia and Turkey will
get back to doing what they do best: helping Isis by mainly bombing non-Isis targets.

Chief Rabbi of Brussels: No Future for Jews in Europe

‘Chief Rabbi Avraham Gigi has said there is no future for the Jewish people of Europe:

“There is a sense of fear in the streets, the Belgians understand that they too are targets of terror. Jews now pray in their homes [as opposed to at synagogues] and some of them are planning on emigrating,” Gigi said.

“Since Shabbat the city has been paralyzed. The synagogues were closed, something which has not happened since World War Two. People are praying alone or are holding small minyanim [small prayer groups] at private homes. Schools and theaters are closed as are most large stores and public events are not permitted. We live in fear and wait for instructions from the police or the government,” he said.

Gigi gave a breakdown of the Belgian Jewish population which he said numbered 50,000.

“There are 25,000 Jews in Brussels, 18,000 in Antwerp and the rest live in smaller places. There has been aliya to Israel as well as emigration to Canada and the US. People understand there is no future for Jews in Europe,” he said.’

Was surprising to see the face of the failed ex Red/Greenie MP and Australian import RUSSEL NORMAN directing some eco terrorists on the good ship Tangaroa berthed on the Wellington Waterfront yesterday. “Red/ Greenpeace” were preventing the ship leaving Wellington Harbour,to go about their normal duties that they have been doing for the last 20 PLUS YEARS.To think that group of eco terrorists calling them selves “Greenpeace” and claiming they want to be know as a charity, is a bigger joke than the Green Party Norman the Australian import couldn’t cut the mustard with is, a sick joke. Maybe Norman and his other imports should get the same treatment that his Australian cobbers are doing to NZs ,deport them as persona non grata.

During a number of talks with Aussie cousin, when here recently and our visits, a retired very top Immigration official in Canberra it is believed that after the next election when Turnbull gets re-elected that the subject of New Zealand visas will be again seriously reviewed.
The Departments have for a number of years tried to get these changes, but not so far.
They believe that Turnbull will bite the bullet once and for all whereby New Zealanders will like any other entry to Australia will have to have a visa in advance.
We cannot agree on how those there without visas can be accomplished except to say that New Zealand bashing is most favourable to the Australian public and the media love it particularly currently.
Go for it Andy and Goofy – you will be treated like dog tucker when you get to Canberra.

If Turkey were actually fighting against ISIS, it wouldn’t have shot down an ally in that fight (that was in its airspace for 15 seconds and had never ever targeted Turkish territory, nor was threatening to – i.e. the planes that shot it down must already have been scrambled and in the air). Moreover, if NATO were actually fighting against ISIS, it wouldn’t have rolled over so easily and defended Turkey.

This incident lays bare the truth of the matter — that NATO is far more interested in eliminating Assad and weakening Russia than it is in fighting ISIS.

I get tired of saying this, but wake the …. up, just like on global warming and Islam and multiculturalism and just about every other piece of social control/engineering our “democracy” gives us, the MSMs lies when it comes to geopolitical goings are even worse

Islamic Immigrants In Germany Hang Chilling Message About Children Over Freeway

‘Muslim immigrants have been flooding into Germany lately, thanks to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s “open door” policy regarding the refugees, and these migrants are already making threats against non-Muslims.

A banner showing the “refugees’” true colors was recently attached to an overpass near a Mercedes factor in Sindelfingen, Germany.

“Your children will pray to Allah or die,” the banner warned.’

President Obama declared Tuesday that next week’s climate change summit in Paris would be a “powerful rebuke” to terrorists, speaking alongside French President Francois Hollande at a joint news conference.

“What a powerful rebuke to the terrorists it will be, when the world stands as one and shows that we will not be deterred from building a better future for our children,” he added.

The presstitute NZ MSM is trying to tell us a story about how the Turks warned the Russians “10 times”.

Assuming the plane was going 600 mph, there is about two miles that was covered in 15 seconds tops. Plenty of time for “10 warnings”……

Less convicted that Lance Cairns will be convicted now after reading some details of the Judges summary, particularly on the charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice. Reports of the summary did not concentrate on the money trail as much as might be expected, or needed to be proven by the prosecution. Overall, the similarity of the evidence of some witnesses is disconcerting as a person allegedly in the position of Cairns might be thought to judge his ‘sale’s pitch’ to each individual involved – depending on the recipient rather than apparently all off the same song sheet. Also ‘confirmations’ of phone calls by third parties undermine the allegations. Naively perhaps, looking for a just and fair result here.

Recall also ISIS doesn’t have an airforce Of course that wont stop you conspiracy mongering blaming this all on the Mossad / CIA .

Oh dear, talk about a micro aggression!

“When Jimmy Carr warned The One Show his jokes might get them into trouble, the presenters probably took it as another quip.
But yesterday the BBC1 programme found itself at the centre of a formal probe by the broadcasting watchdog, after a risque comment about dwarves backfired.
Carr, who was on the show to promote his Greatest Hits tour, told viewers that he had once come up with a two-word gag.
He said: “I tried to write the shortest joke possible. So, I wrote a two word joke which was: ‘Dwarf shortage’. It’s just so I could pack more jokes into the show.”
He then looked directly at the camera and added: “If you’re a dwarf and you’re offended by that, grow up.”

Trump is onto something here regarding his fellow clown bo bo Ben in their primary circus ,

“Donald Trump compares Ben Carson to a CHILD MOLESTER suggesting that the ‘pathological temper’ that drove him to try and stab someone as a boy cannot be cured”

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said yesterday that rival Ben Carson has a ‘pathological temper’ that can’t be cured any more than a child molester can be cured.
Trump first made the claim in an interview with CNN, then continued the strong criticism during a 95-minute rant at an Iowa rally.
‘If you’re a child molester – a sick puppy – you’re a child molester, there’s no cure for that,’ Trump proclaimed, other than what he called the ‘ultimate cure’ – and death.
He said he didn’t believe Carson’s story about his religious awakening in his bathroom, either, and questioned the retired neurosurgeon’s tale about nearly stabbing a friend…”

MUHAMMAD AND THE SATANIC VERSES

‘One of the most embarrassing events in Muhammad’s life occurred when Satan put his words in Muhammad’s mouth. Muhammad spoke Satan’s words as the word of God. This event is documented by several early Muslim scholars and referenced in the Hadith and Quran. Later Muslims, ashamed that their self declared prophet spoke Satan’s words, denied the event occurred. A myriad of excuses and denials have been put forth by these later Muhammadans to cover up Muhammad’s sinful error.

It must be pointed out again that the “Satanic Verses” event is not something made up by non-Muslims. The event is recorded by the earliest Islamic sources available on Muhammad’s life. No one should think that it is a story made up by people who are critical of Islam. It is an episode directly found in the early Islamic records.’

Ahh ‘the smell of napalm in the morning’ – a quote from Good Morning Vietnam(?)

Not napalm in this instance but gobby Guyion being torn a new A hole by Ewan Wilson of Kiwi Regional Airlines in an interview just before 9.00 this morning.

Gobby conducting the interview and not getting his agenda outcome, so tries the usual talking over the answer technique to be told by Ewan Wilson that ‘he has not been listening to what I have been saying’

We need more interviewees to stand up to the verbal bullying and stand over tactics, with the agenda leading questions by both Fergusson and gobby, to make red radio just a bit more credible.

Is our posting climate bore, Griff, a subeditor on the Hooerald?

Someone there has got Griff’s favourite device, the straw man, into the heading over Rudman’s column about NZ’s own Christmas Grinch, Dame Devoid.

Nos-NZ & Nookin….

Re C Cairns… Yep, typos or senior moments are a curse.

The reporting on this case here (in NZ) is less than balanced (reminds of Macdonald).
Worth going back a few days to read Sydney Morn Herald report of Judge’s first day of summation. Not good for CPS and Wass.

Cairns guilty? Buggered if I know. Not proven ????

If we had a proper immigration and refugee policy we wouldn’t have needed to expand our security powers or to be concerned by 30 to 40 members of a certain ‘community’.

I suppose the expanded security powers and coming inconvenience to domestic air travel are part of the diversity dividend that we must all embrace and celebrate.

STOP PRESS: European Union desperately negotiating surrender terms – so far only limited success.

With the de-facto capital of the European Union due to enter its fifth day as a shivering, frightened, deserted ghost town, Islam is now within reach of attaining its 700 year goal of re-conquering Europe after the fall of Granada, and EU officials are reportedly seeking surrender terms, but so far success has been limited. The problem seems to be that local Imams from Marseilles, Amsterdam and Brussels itself appear not to be able to agree on who should accept the surrender and set the terms. While many Muslims are happy to see the collapse of Europe, for the hardliners this in itself is not enough, as summed up by Antwerp shopkeeper Rasheed al-Ibrahim, saying “When we are finally within spitting distance of the ultimate victory, why would we negotiate surrender with these rats? Surely Allah demands that the infidel should be killed wherever we find them, and turned out from where they have turned us out.” The debate continues and meantime Brussels continues to cower in fear for the future under the new rulers.

From FactCheck.org

Q: Is Sen. Ted Cruz, who was born in Canada, eligible to be the U.S. president?

A: Most likely. The legal consensus is that Cruz qualifies because he was born to a U.S. citizen living abroad, making him a U.S. citizen at birth.

Ted Cruz was not born in the US, so is ineligible to be President…

As has been discussed here before, that ineligibility is not actually written in stone anywhere – it would take the Supreme Court to sort it out –

The Constitution does not define the phrase natural-born citizen, and various opinions have been offered over time regarding its precise meaning. The consensus of early 21st-century constitutional and legal scholarship, together with relevant case law, is that “natural born” comprises all people born subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, including, generally, those born in the United States, those born to U.S. citizen parents in foreign countries, and those born in other situations meeting the legal requirements for U.S. citizenship “at birth.”

Refugee resettlement process leaves Syrian Christians in the cold

‘President Obama declared Monday that there should be no religious test for refugees fleeing a bloody Syrian civil war and the expanding reach of ISIS, but critics contend the current refugee placement process is rigged against Christians.

While Christians accounted for about 10 percent of the Syrian population in 2011 and face greater peril as a religious minority in a mostly Muslim region, fewer than 3 percent of the 2,187 refugees relocated to the U.S. since January 2011 are Christians, and the percentage of Christians granted asylum in 2015 has shrunk below even 2 percent.’

Irish Filmmakers Become Pro-life after Filming Abortion Documentary

‘ Two Irish filmmakers have changed their views about abortion after filming a documentary on the controversial practices of an abortion doctor.

The Christian Institute reports that husband and wife team Phelim McAleer and Ann McElhinney held a “fairly disinterested” stance on abortion prior to filming the documentary, viewing it as an “unfortunate but probably necessary part of modern life.”

After making the film about abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell, however, the couple changed their views.’

Clockboy’s family make one last stab at a pay-day, demanding $15 million from the city of Irving, and for his “suffering”. A blogger from National Review asks, what suffering?

What, precisely, did Ahmed and his family “suffer”?: Twitter shout-outs from Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bill de Blasio, and Jimmy Fallon band-leader Questlove; Facebook messages from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and actor George Takei; an invitation to intern with Twitter; a visit to Google, where he met with U.S. Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith; a trip to the United Nations, where he took a selfie with the prime minister of Turkey; a red-carpet photo-op with Sudanese dictator (and mass murderer) Omar al-Bashir; a visit to the White House, where he chatted with the president; a Muslim of the Year award from the Council on American–Islamic Relations; and, finally, a fully funded secondary education at the Doha Academy in Qatar, where the family is now living.

Being pulled out of class for his “clock” was the best thing that ever happened to Ahmed. He will benefit from his victimhood for the rest of his days.

Manolo, yeh. Obama has been the worst president ever. And he still has another year to go. Who knows what havoc he can still wreak.

As I have said before, when Obama became president in 2008, the people i was working with all said, ‘isn’t it a great thing’. I said, no I didn’t think so and they couldn’t understand why, even though I tried to explain.

What a complete failure the man has been.

The Anatomy of Denial: Multiculturalist delusions in an age of terrorism.

“The murder of 27 hotel guests in Mali’s capital city by Boko Haram, now an al Qaeda franchisee, highlights yet again the delusional futility of asserting that, as Hillary Clinton put it in a tweet, “Islam is not our adversary. Muslims are peaceful and tolerant people and have nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism.” Like Obama, Hillary also vigorously condemns the use of a phrase like “Islamist radicalism.”

These evasions are contrary to the history and doctrines of Islam consistent over 14 centuries, and contradict the professed motives for the continuing violence perpetrated across the globe––27,295 deadly attacks just since 9/11–– by Islamic terrorist groups who emulate the Prophet and take seriously his injunction to “slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captive and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in every ambush” (9.5), one of 109 verses––the direct commands of Allah–– that order war against infidels.

Western secularism has rendered us incapable of understanding passionate religious beliefs. The banishment of faith from public life is nearly complete in Europe, and we Americans are on the same trajectory. What remains of religion is reduced to a private life-style choice, commercialized holiday traditions, and a vague comforting “spiritualism” that makes few demands on its adherents. Secularists relentlessly patrol the public square to attack any sign that religious belief is stepping outside its private ghetto. And any recognition that the Judeo-Christian tradition contributed to the foundational beliefs of the West––equality, unalienable rights, and freedom––is attacked as spiritual colonization and “fundamentalist” bigotry. Hence Obama calls “shameful” the suggestions that Christian Syrians, currently suffering a genocidal persecution, be prioritized over the mostly economic Syrian refugees.

So too has been our ignorance of history. Worse yet, what history we do rely on is false or ideologically warped. Few politicians in charge of our foreign policy seem to be aware of the long, violent assault of Islam against the West, the chronicle of massacre, slaving, kidnapping, occupation, and exploitation, all in service to the commands of Allah and the practices of Mohammed. At the same time, our president invents the mythic “golden age” of enlightenment and tolerance in Muslim Cordoba, harps on the Crusades and the Inquisition, excoriates Israel for defending itself against the progeny of invaders, colonizers, and immigrants to the ancient Jewish homeland of Judea and Samaria, and apologizes for imperialism and colonialism. Meanwhile Muslim Turkey is in its fifth decade of the occupation of northern Cyprus that followed an invasion accompanied by ethnic cleansing, population transfers from Turkey, and the destruction or vandalizing of 300 churches.

Finally, multiculturalism, which is an expression of this false history that makes the West the global villains deserving of payback from the oppressed dark-skinned “other,” compromises a robust and muscular response to Islamic violence. The lexicon of political correctness, predicated on the commandment never to blame the victim “of color,” leads to the sort of duplicitous evasions mentioned earlier, in which traditional Islamic doctrine disappears as motivating force, and effort is wasted on pursuing remedies––economic development, flattering outreach, or democracy promotion––that will not solve the problem of metastasizing jihadism. Moreover, like the British sympathizers with Germany in the 20s and 30s, the charges of racism and neo-imperialist oppression thrown around by the multiculturalists foster a spirit of appeasement and accommodation, sapping our morale and inhibiting our response.”

Syrians are a Nation of Terrorist Supporters: 10,000 Syrian refugees mean 1,300 ISIS supporters.

“Syria is a terror state. It didn’t become that way overnight because of the Arab Spring or the Iraq War.

Its people are not the victims of American foreign policy, Islamic militancy or any of the other fashionable excuses. They supported Islamic terrorism. Millions of them still do.

They are not the Jews fleeing a Nazi Holocaust. They are the Nazis trying to relocate from a bombed out Berlin.

These are the cold hard facts.

ISIS took over parts of Syria because its government willingly allied with it to help its terrorists kill Americans in Iraq. That support for Al Qaeda helped lead to the civil war tearing the country apart.

The Syrians were not helpless, apathetic pawns in this fight. They supported Islamic terrorism.

A 2007 poll showed that 77% of Syrians supported financing Islamic terrorists including Hamas and the Iraqi fighters who evolved into ISIS. Less than 10% of Syrians opposed their terrorism.

Why did Syrians support Islamic terrorism? Because they hated America.

Sixty-three percent wanted to refuse medical and humanitarian assistance from the United States. An equal number didn’t want any American help caring for Iraqi refugees in Syria.

The vast majority of Syrians turned down any form of assistance from the United States because they hated us. They still do. Just because they’re willing to accept it now, doesn’t mean they like us.

If we bring Syrian Muslims to America, we will be importing a population that hates us.”
