Forbes’ ‘Most Powerful People In The World 2015’ rankings have just come out, and Obama has fallen to third, behind Putin and Merkel.

Stephieboy, Guy Fawkes day might be an example of colonial cringe, even an indirect celebration of religious oppression and judicial torture, but it’s a lot of fun for kids. How much fun will Parihaka day be?

Perhaps we could get the All Blacks to give up rugby, an upper-class colonial import, for Maori stick games with which they could entertain us on Parihaka day. Undoubtedly, it will provide a riveting spectacle for those of us indifferent to rugby’s allure.

@padriv – yes also noticed the report on that deranged idiot.

It’s the Herald so I’m slightly skeptical of accuracy, but if true then the guy should be dealt with swiftly and publicly. Like making bomb threats at an airport – this sort of Facebook idiocy should be taken seriously.

Grind him up with assorted other animal bits and make him into dog roll.

re RNZ…
I’ve been noticing it for about 1 week or so….

I heard a bit about it being explained that the BBC call themselves the BBC and not the British Broadcasting Corporation so RNZ have decided that they are up-market enough to consider themselves as worthy companions to the BBC and so have ‘shortened’ the title.

I almost pissed myself writing that; on what planet does Radio New Zealand get to compare themselves to the BBC?

After having the pleasure of the BBC for more than twenty five years, I find that the best RNZ can be compared to the talking pages of Pravda and the North Korean Peoples Radio.

That squeaky little tosser Jack Tame and the numpy who has destroyed National radio in the afternoon, Jesse Mulligan, are just jokes, no gravitas, nothing.

RNZ; following the horrid into oblivion.

There is increasing evidence that it was a bomb planted on the Russian airliner brought down over the Sinai.

If I were ISIS, I think I would be very afraid.

If you actually listened to what VVP says instead of relying upon what Russophobes in the NYT, BBC and CCN say he says you would find out that he doesn’t “detest the US”

But he will not surrender the interests of the Russian people to advance the interests of Western 1%ers

And he will not kiss Barack Obama’s ring the way people like John Key do.

It is the Americans and the Brits who are saying that, the Russians are playing their cards close to their chests but if it is so don’t expect carpet bombing along with ” shock and awe” as the article you linked posits.

The response will be very subtle and extremely nasty for the culprits – a message will be sent and this will probably not even be reported in the West

Michael since the terrorist attack of 9/11 2001 millions of innocents have died in the so called “war on terror” – many of them were not even born when it happened, come from lands, even continents that had absolutely no connection to it.

This is sad but true

Andrei.

I was in Nakhodka, Eastern Russia in 2004 when the muslim terrorists took over that school in Beslan and murdered all those children, and I’ve gotta say the Ruskies didn’t mess around.
I was at a sporting reception with teams from 6 countries around the Pacific rim, and the mayor of the city was giving an address, and he said, ” We will exterminate these criminals” – and they sure did.
Whatever the response, I’m sure it will be measured, and biblically retributive.

Speaking at the ceremony on September 23, Putin said, “Tarnishing a great global religion — tarnishing the image of Islam — terrorists of the so-called Islamic State are spreading hatred, killing people, including clergymen, barbarously destroying world cultural-heritage sites.”

He also said the new mosque will be “a source for education, spreading humanist ideas and the true values of Islam.”

The ceremony was attended by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Palestinian leader Mahmud Abbas, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, and U.S. Ambassador to Russia John Tefft.

I don’t admire Putin. I was pointing out in my comment that America has fallen in world power standings and it is mostly the fault of Obama’s policies weakening his own country. Everything Obama does seems by design to be to weaken America. He has this idea that if America is weaker and other countries are stronger, somehow it will all lead to “equality”, that great liberal utopia which will be gained when everyone is the same. Only, it’s a pipe dream.

Ooh goody, conspiracy time. Okay, here’s mine.

The Israelis are the only ones with the capability of firing a surface-to-air missile to shoot it down. So it was them. They want to implicate ISIS so the Russians will come good on their promise in Syria to wipe them out. That will allow the CIA to then assassinate Assad and leave a power vacuum in Syria for the Zionists to fill as they expand their empire.

LOL Americas decline is nothing to do with partisan domestic politics – it is a Nation that has turned away from God and is rotten to the core.

The rich are getting richer, feeding off the blood of the poor in the third world, while ordinary Americans are getting poorer and the essential infrastructure of the nation falls into decay

The USA has reached levels of degeneracy unseen before in human history e.g.

@ Albert_Ross 11:31:

“Criticising something somebody says is not attempting to muzzle freedom of speech. It is an exercise of freedom of speech.”

That’s the normal scenario. But in this kind of situation, the context and the important constitutional principles involved take precedence. MPs’ freedom of speech in Parliament is sacrosanct, subject to rules to preserve order imposed by the presiding Speaker. An MP can say what he / she likes in Parliament, for example, without facing the risk of defamation proceedings. Dame Susan Devoid – pursuing her role as part of the country’s Executive – is out of order.

@ Keeping Stock 11:40:

“isn’t it more accurate to say that Devoy is simply condemning what Ron Mark said, exercising his freedom of speech?”

Same answer as to Albert above. As indicated in my earlier comments, I myself have no truck with Mark’s comments in Parliament and – as a private citizen – I can criticise his comments all I want. But I cannot do so while acting in the capacity of a Judge (member of the Judiciary) or of a senior official in the Executive that runs the country.

Yes it probably will be like that. I recall a story from when Beirut was the ME shithole and one of the protagonists made the big mistake of kidnapping and killing some Russian diplomat(s). So the KGB sent in some of the heavy boys and the Russians were left well alone, after they’d finished.

I think you’ll probably find that Israeli and Egyptian security personnel and their families will be on the receiving end of this retaliation, and to Brigette, it wasn’t a missile because there was no vapour trail, and you can’t hide that.

A catering truck and a fuel truck has been sealed and impounded at the airport the passengers embarked from.

One interesting detail is that all the passengers were Russian. Normally you’d expect a nationality mix but not on this flight. One possible reason for this is that some of the passengers had some importance either politically, militarily, scientifically or from the intel community.

Another thing many have missed is that Israel and Egypt were conducting a joint air-combat exercise in the same area the plane went down in. That’s not BTW why I said above that citizens from those countries are likely going to become hunted in the future, but that’s another interesting detail.

However at this stage the puzzle is adding up to a bomb planted on the plane by one of those impounded vehicles and it’s tending toward the catering because the trays were loaded into the rear of the plane just for’ard of the rear pressure wall and I’ve seen a photo of the tail with some of the metal curling outward.

Another interesting and unanswered question is: how did the culprits escape? By boat seems to be a likely answer there. But tracking that is a real good way to identify who dunnit and while the Russians don’t have the same ubiquitous satellite coverage as the NRO, I imagine what assets they do have were already tasked to cover that general area because of their Syrian ops, so chances are they can pull up some relevant data to give them some leads there.

At this stage there is nothing on the interweb I’ve read that allows definite conclusions to be drawn. There might be but I haven’t read it. As usual the idiot media isn’t helping at all and as illustrated above in that brief discussion of this tragedy in which many innocents died because bad guys don’t like good guys killing them, some of the profoundly ignorant sheeple are bleating all over the place with no rhyme nor reason, just like the real things do.

Why do you think the Race Relations Commissioner should be unable to criticise MPs?

Because while she’s good at squash she has no qualifications to be RRC, so she should just resign, yesterday.

Nothing she says, nothing, repeat, nothing, has any legitimacy whatsoever, because of that.

It’s exactly the same as the media self-awarding Judy Bailey her ‘mother of the nation’ sobriquet. She’s not my fucking mother, she never will be, she doesn’t deserve to be, she’s not good enough, I don’t want her to be and I won’t allow her to be. One reason for this is that I don’t happen to rate highly anyone who’s sole qualification is being able to read a teleprompter. And that’s all she ever did and the only skill she ever displayed.

Same as our current RRC. Key only appointed her for the same reason he does everything. Because he knew the appointment would be hard for his political enemies to criticise and he also knew most of the sheeple are so stupid they’d all clap and cheer and whoop and swoon over the humanity of this ‘wonderful’ appointment. He knew of course the right wing would see straight through it, but we’re already on his side so who cares about us. His main concern was not giving the left any ammo to fling at him, via his appointee to this most leftist of offices. In other words, he didn’t care about whether or not she’d be any good, he didn’t care about moving the office from the left to the centre, he just did it because he just didn’t want any political shitstorms. Thereby incidently passing up yet another chance to do the correct thing, rather than the popular thing. Because this office, used correctly, could change a shitload of things for the better. It’s never been used correctly, that’s why that’s never happened. Reason # 785933993 why I’ve never rated Key, and never will.

Hope that helps mm. Doubt it will, but I hope eternal.

Bullshit. You can always find some degenerate stupidity in liberal urban areas, the same as Russia. But most heartland Americans remain Christian. And Obama’s anti-Christiam reign is nearly at an end. Witness the elections in Kentucky, where a Christian pro-life candidate won.

Excellent, as usual from this site, analysis, this time of Hagar, et al.

…The only way forward if one is to truly test Hager’s actions is, in our opinion, to file a private prosecution against Hager. Hager, knowingly, was the recipient of stolen property, there is no plausible defence that we can think of to that charge.

The next question of course is whether Nicky Hager himself benefitted financially from the theft of the material stolen off Slater.

We rather suspect that it could be successfully argued that Nicky Hager benefitted financially from a significant criminal activity, and thus the royalties (if exceeding $30’000) received from the sale of Dirty Politics are in fact proceeds derived from that significant criminal activity (see: NZ Proceeds of Crime Act 1991, NZ Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009)…

Not so much a problem in Eke stigie but it used to be bad in the coastal areas of South Wairarapa. When the area was originally settled it was from the sea & transport meant that cousins from a few pioneering families married cousins for generations on end.

When road access was finally developed they found settlements of people with webbing between their toes & eyes that looked at each other.

I understand that things have improved of late. 🙂

Nasska:

I think there’s a good prospect that Penny’s case will be thrown out and an adverse costs order made against her.

Three factors in support of my view:

– The High Court has discretion as to costs. The fact that Penny failed to appear in court yesterday – which was apparently scheduled several months ago – will count against her.
– Stephen Town will have incurred legal costs in preparing for the hearing.
– Penny has (according to the article) refused to provide documents to Auckland Council’s lawyers even after the court directed her to.

So, on balance, things aren’t looking good for Penny.

…Looking past the political smoke, one scenario deserves scrutiny.

The Islamic State (IS) has taken responsibility for the incident. In a manifesto, the IS claimed to have brought down the Russian plane in retaliation for Russian military intervention in Syria.

Egyptian officials immediately derided the claim as propaganda that damages the image of Egypt. But at the same time, the authenticity of the IS propaganda has not been debunked. The nature of the propaganda was in keeping with previous manifestos; CIA standard procedure. There is “insufficient evidence” to support the claim, but there never is sufficient evidence. By design.

Given the amply documented fact that the IS (ISIS, ISIL, etc.) is a creation of US intelligence, and function as assets and military-intelligence fronts of the CIA and Washington—financed, recruited and trained by the US and its allies— why shouldn’t the claims of responsibility be taken at face value?

In an era in which false flag atrocities and deception have constituted US foreign policy, it is in no way inconceivable that forces aligned with Washington committed yet another act of terrorism, another act of war, to send a message of warning and/or provocation to Moscow.

This is by no means the first time that the downing of a plane has been exploited for political purpose, aimed at Russia. The false flag shootdown of MH-17 and the cover-up and propaganda that followed offers a ghastly example. The history of American covert operations is rife with atrocities involving planes…

Remember that ASB (?) ad for lifestyle mortgages to cover purchases of boats, cars, holidays etc? “Put it on the house” was the catchphrase.

Seems to cover Penny’s impending dilemma too. 🙂

“Fact it’s not covered on National Review is not evidence its false Shawn.”

Unlike you Reid I actually read very widely, from a variety of sources. Not only do I not rely on NRO alone, I am often critical of it’s increasingly soft-right approach.

But GR is a Kremlin troll farm, plain and simple. Only sheeple believe everything the Kremlin says.

“globalresearch site is a kremlin propaganda operation”

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=259_1409830022

And for evidence of how unreliable GR is, take a look at this article praising the achievements of North Korea, which just happens to be an ally of Russia.

“North Korea, a Land of Human Achievement, Love and Joy” ( I kid you not, that GR’s actual title for the article!!! 🙂 )

http://www.globalresearch.ca/north-korea-a-land-of-human-achievement-love-and-joy/5344960

So Reid, do you think a source that says North Korea is a land of human achievement, love and joy, is remotely reliable?

If so, please contact your nearest mental health professional. 🙂

Break-in at Carmel Sepaloni’s house. Discovered by her son. Cops called who refused to attend and suggested the son go in and “we will talk you through it”.

Oddly, when the cops found Carmel Sepaloni was the house owner they deemed to attend.

This SHOULD be national headlines WaikatoGirl. Lack of theft investigation IS a national scandal and DESERVES to be highlighted in flaming letters, time after time, until the politicians are FORCED, by media publicity, to change the current [cost-driven] policy.

But the useless idiot media long ago abrogated their Fourth Estate duties, so we expect nothing to eventuate along those lines do we.

Meanwhile the media stand around collectively perplexed as to why on Earth their readers, listeners and viewers are deserting them.

One wonders exactly how Russia will respond to the bomb on its plane?

IS claims credit for what an “allied” group in the Sinai did. It’s a bit like Germany celebrating the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. The Americans went beyond supplying aid to boots on the ground on both fronts.

Apparently it will not act in the Sinai without Egyptian request, but it probably will offer support to Egypt against Islamists in this area.

In Syria, what might happen is that Russia broadens its intervention, expanding operational capacity, so it can continue to assist the regime retake areas in western Syria, but at the same time take on IS more directly in eastern areas.

We’ll see SPC, or some of us will, because of course the Western MSM won’t cover it.

But it’s changed the narrative, hasn’t it.

It’s wiped off the “finally but fucking finally someone is making progress against ISIS” from the Western MSM headlines.

Hasn’t it.

On the US “advisers” in Syria:

…The two sides have been placed on a collision course in which there is bound to be shooting. The Russian operators are good: they’re very good, and they are masters of assassination and counterintelligence missions. The last time the U.S. came up against them definitively was in Bosnia in ’93 and ’94 where the Spetsnaz boys were supporting the Serbs.

For more information on Spetsnaz and how they work, you may wish to read Viktor Suvorov’s (V.B. Rezun’s) works, Inside Spetsnaz, as well as Inside the Aquarium (the latter is about the GRU, but it entails Spetsnaz as well, and how in modern times the two are oftentimes merged into units). The books are very detailed about missions performed as well as equipment, strategy, and doctrine. The latter two components are virtually unchanged from the days of the U.S.S.R. to now.

So there we have it. Word has come to me from a source who must remain anonymous stationed and serving with 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne), in Ft. Carson, Colorado, that the United States “is prepared to commit a much larger element [of Special Forces] than the one currently deployed, in accordance with the changing situation.”

Ghost Wars lead to all-out/conventional wars. Now we have a situation where the two main heavyweights are positioning themselves to conduct such operations against one another. The ending, ladies and gentlemen, is almost certain to escalate into a full-blown war… the one that can very well blossom into World War III.

Jeremiah Johnson is the Nom de plume of a retired Green Beret of the United States Army Special Forces (Airborne). Mr. Johnson is also a Gunsmith, a Certified Master Herbalist, a Montana Master Food Preserver, and a graduate of the U.S. Army’s SERE school (Survival Evasion Resistance Escape). He lives in a cabin in the mountains of Western Montana with his wife and three cats. You can follow Jeremiah’s regular writings at SHTFplan.com or contact him here.

The incompetent Messiah pisses off the US Army:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/nov/5/obama-pushes-military-frustration-to-highest-level/

Lawmakers from both parties say frustration with the White House among the top military officers is at its highest level in decades, the product of President Obama’s cautious approach to the wars in Syria and Iraq and an indecisive inner circle of White House advisers who, critics say, have iced the Pentagon out of the policymaking process.

Global Research does, the source you often use.

If you can’t answer, you are the coward.

Look, I get that sources are subjective and what we like or don’t like is based largely on our political worldviews, but a source that claims that North Korea is a land of achievement, love and joy is not credible by ANY standards.

“No they were real ones back then mm, but they were the ones who killed Jesus. The fake ones came about 600+ years later.

“Why do you think the Race Relations Commissioner should be unable to criticise MPs?”

I never said that, MM @ 4:05pm – do please read what I said.

Dame Susan was acting / voicing her opinion in her capacity as a officer of the Executive wing of Government. In our kind of constitutional structure, there is a recognised separation between the Parliamentary, Executive & Judicial wings of government. No one wing is expected to interfere with the rights and responsibilities of either of the other two.

If Dame Susan criticised the medieval views of Mark in her personal and private capacity, I would willingly support her views. But I cannot agree with her taking it upon herself to question an MP’s absolute right in Parliament to voice whatever view he chooses.

Within an unwritten but well-understood constitutional framework, you either adhere to established and accepted principles of constitutional government or you embark on a descent down a very slippery slope. As a public servant, you should understand that better than most.

Ah. So you don’t think he lived at all.

Yet somehow, 2000 years later, this “figment of imagination” lives in hundreds of millions if not billions of people’s minds. And this has persisted and waxed and waned throughout hundreds if not thousands of generations.

And according to mm’s “wisdom.” this is just normal, for a mere “fictional” character? For thousands of years, according to mm, we have set aside days of worship, and marched off to Church, to worship, say, the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland? That’s, according to mm, what we have all done? For centuries?

All I can say is, you must be a profound moron to hold that ludicrous philosophy, given how contrary to the historical facts it is, therefore, I really do hope you’re in charge of nothing more than toilet cleaning for the govt dept you work for, because if it’s anything more than that, our country is in immediate danger, due to your extreme incompetence in fundamental principles of basic 101 thinking.

Richardx’s argument is that Reid uses logical fallacies to support his own argument. His evidence is the very frequent use of the ad hom approach to debate used almost inveriably by Reid when someone disagrees with him. The “ad hom” approach is a logical fallacy. Reid usually covers his basis in advance by foreseeing the counter argument, recognising its strength and extensive acceptance but denigrates it by referring to its adherents as sheeple.

Richardx’s evidence is incontrovertible. That does not make Reid wrong. It just makes his argument totally unconvincing and his approach boring. It doesnt make MM right either. Fancy suggesting that captain Kirk is not real. I have seen all the documentaries about his achievements. They have repeated them plenty of times on telly.
