Rodney Hide writes in today’s Herald an article about Bob Jones / Winston Peters & Donald Trump:

“Peters has fashioned a lifelong career on the fear of foreigners taking over. The more he is attacked, the more he appears the martyr and the more the establishment looks to be trying to hide that it has let us down and sold us out.”

Rodney.

Foreigners are taking over, the establishment has let us down, and it is selling us out!

So the Herald is so hard up for stories it has to go back ten years and dredge up story of the germs who might have or might not have killed the Kanui twins.Who wants to listen or read about some Maori bullshit and lies that family covered up the facts of these murders and no one was brought to justice.

Left wing nutters everywhere are celebrating the latest Roy-Morgan poll as if Labour has won the 2017 election! Even assuming Winnie will be king maker, he is not going to let Greens take up cabinet positions and Greens won’t sit outside supporting a Labour-NZ First minority government. So Peter will end up with National (which is a disaster scenario for National anyway).

Someone said here the other day that New Zealand would be the Switzerland of the South Pacific without the issues that maori raise. I agree and am prepared to swop a fondue dinner for another impromptu eye rolling spitting shouty haka

@ Sir Cullen – the Left needs to look closely at the numbers. Labour is on 28% in that poll, and no party with barely a quarter of the vote should be allowed to form a government.

While we may have faith in John Key, though that is increasingly questionable, we should have no faith in his supporting team which this morning is responsible for the Air Accident debarcle following on from all the other stuff ups coming to light in recent years. But sadly I doubt if a change would solve the problem.

That Herald ‘Reporter’ has simply written emotional drivel.
Given the (well documented) feral environment those poor Kahui kids were born into it is extremely unlikely they would have grown up as the happy,normal boys she describes in the ‘idyllic’ South Auckland environment she bleats on about.
Sorry but kids are a product of their environment- The future was very bleak for them from the moment they were born.

Time for an apology also from our local Muslim bashers on KB ,whale oil and elsewhere ,

“The Government is batting away claims of manipulation over the Prime Minister’s f”Jihadi brides” statement, saying “it doesn’t matter where they leave from”.

It was revealed yesterday that no New Zealand “Jihadi bride”, first mentioned in a select committee late last year, had left this country.

The Security Intelligence Service (SIS) has confirmed that group of women, who made headlines after comments made by the Prime Minister and SIS boss Rebecca Kitteridge in December, all departed Australia. …”

The Aussies are rightly pissed off with New Zealand. We lt all sorts of dross in , they get citizenship , and then go to Oz to cause trouble or soak up benefits there.

That’s an abuse of both NZ and Australia. These fuckers owe us an apology and they shoyld be deported if they don’t really want to live here and contribute. Fuck em and the politicians taking sides with genocidal Islamic women.

what other examples are their Dime? just how offensive are they????

“your thighs wont touch if my heads between them” – my goodness. Dime wont sleep tonight.

or this one

“drink till shes pretty” – quite possibly the most offensive thing ever.

lucky for us dot coms fuck boy david fisher is all over it and its on the front page.

paula “i know you beat someone half to death with a piece of fence paling but you can stay at my house” bennett is also all over it.

“Bennett: “I’m determined to do something about it.”” – the fuck?? in her capacity as what?

“All across Wellington this month, officials have been studying legislation and looking for traction.” – this is the only thing in the article that is actually offensive.

“Benefits” goes beyond social welfare but includes education, health and other lifestyle support that the modern west provides and which these people are so desperate to take.

“A Kiwi accused of obtaining a New Zealand passport to fight in Syria will stand trial in Melbourne.

Amin Mohamed, 23, is charged with four counts of preparing to enter a foreign state to engage in hostile activities.”

A few things about possible 2017 coalitions. Winston being ‘king maker’ is on the assumption that Greens would not support National. If National offered Greens a few minor portfolios (but ‘marked’ by a National associate minister), the Greens could well start to whistle a different tune very quickly. The Greens could strengthen its hand in any negotiations by at least flirting with National. This would empower the Greens and at the same time depower Winston. Winston will not be able to disappear for a few days after the election as he did in 1966. He would risk having a government stitched up in his absence.

“At the local level here in NZ – How ?”

I’d speculate they’re as happy here to remain on benefits as they are in Denmark. But we’d never get that level of investigative reporting……racist you see.

“Of all totally dependent families in Denmark, married couples where both partners are on social assistance — state benefits — some 84 per cent are “non-Western origin” migrants. In total, a third of all cash paid out in benefits every month goes to these non-Western migrants in Denmark, according to the latest figures obtained by Ekstra Bladet.

These figures might be considered especially high, as among Denmark’s working age population non-Western migrants make up just eight per cent of residents. The paper reports experts agree the phenomenon of a minority group of eight per cent of the population making up such a significant part of the claimant count, and concede it is a “large and especially expensive problem”.

Sitting up in the sunny north one has time to relect on our countries youth problem. From what I can see those gansta molls who get a buzz when fleeing from the Police in stolen cars appear to be some of our special people. Maybe they should revert back to their traditional method of transport such as a horse or even a Moa. If these stupid bitches want to kill themselves that’s ok with me. It’s the innocent people I worry about.

Longknives – I have had some experience dealing with the nethermost of Maori culture, such as the Kahui clan. It is difficult to make comparisons, and without demeaning our pet dogs, their lives are similar. They wake in the morning (drugged often) and make for their food bowls, first in first served, and usually the adults feed first. Babies will be left in dirty nappies until the mother comes round and has her first smoke, and often for much longer leaving room for serious nappy rash. The food cupboards are generally bare but TAB tickets, coke, booze bottles and fast food packets litter the kitchen and back door area.

In a ‘P’ house expect a much worse scene.

And welfare feeds these arseholes, no questions asked.

So apparently the stone-agers are going to court to try and overturn the Kermadec sanctuary.
“We are conservationists (haha), but we weren’t consulted”.
Fuck me gently. Were the Chinese consulted? Were the left handed deaf lesbians consulted? Were the Tongans consulted (their country is closer to the Kermadecs than anywhere else)?
Would they be able to afford to go to court if they hadn’t been dished out so much money in recent years?

I do not agree with all the presumptions and conclusions in this piece, but it is at the very least, a serious analysis and a laudable attempt to enlighten those of us far from the front. It is well worth reading, considering and then reacting. Sometimes I wonder whether some writing here on KB are the FASTEST speed readers the world has seen, such is their immediate reaction.

http://www.nysun.com/national/frontlash-for-trump-is-outpacing-backlach-as/89500/

Oh, apropos Robert Eric Jones, as one who has known Bob for more than 40 years, who has dined him in my home, and who has dined at his table, I would not take too much notice of what he writes on Trump. He has, after all, made similar observations on people like Ron Brierley, Bruce Judge (they were horribly correct), Douglas Myers, Michael Fay, Frank Renouf, David Richwhite et al.
And as for Bob being overtly Labour, he must be the only Labour supporter who displays a large portrait of M J Savage (you know, the circa 1939 one his disciples drool over) in his powder room lavatory.

These days Bob listens to himself, and only his views are taken seriously by him.
For the past 20 years, Bob has been taken with a large dose of salt. More correctly a very large glass (or three) of quaity Cabernet. 🙂

What will the Greens do? Which way will Metiria Turei and Deluded Delahunty jump?

Still it’s time for some light to be put on Maori quota owners’ lease of fishing rights to foreign ships using slave labour – and slave in the true sense of the form.

One of the Stephiepeople from the “Stephieboy” Muslim syndicate posted at 8.56 about the NZ jihadi brides:

… no New Zealand “Jihadi bride”, first mentioned in a select committee late last year, had left this country.

More Islamic propaganda.

The jihadi brides mentioned were NZ citizens or residency-holders who left from Australia. So they were certainly NZ jihadi brides. Stop trying to twist the truth, Stephiepeople.

Why should we take Muslims into NZ to feed and nurture them on taxpayer money when some of them or some of their children may go overseas to terrorise, enslave, and murder Christians and other non-Muslims?

Times certainly have changed.

Once upon a time there ws a generally accepted concept of good manners , decency and taste. Commercial concerns particularly wanted to protect their own image , now it seems anything goes.

One van I saw recently had emblazoned across it ,something to the tune of “It sucks when your girlfriend doesn’t”

Now kowtow believes there is a time and place for most things , but that sort of shit on a commercial vehicle on a public road is not right, it is downright rude . Do we need a law against it, no ,but it shouldn’t be necessary to legislate against bad manners and the company should do the right thing.

BTW the company are a bunch of ignorant c#nts anyway , renting out vans on the cheap to cheap fuckers who they know are going to shit all over the countryside on the cheap.

Isn’t it interesting how the lefty losers (who are here all the time because they’ve got nothing else to do) get their downticks in early before they are overwhelmed by the upticks from the normal people who only pop in here occasionally between productive pursuits?

I do not think it is the current family refugees that will cause trouble – it will be their offspring and younger members of their large extended family who will arrive shortly after.

Remember Zaoui apparently brought in 18 relatives.

Surely Sydney is a good example of the next generations of young unemployed Lebanese males -hereby lies the tale to watch.

The next generation will not have a job – or want one as the taxpayer will provide.

I understand that the young Somali (ex Tampa families) male immigrant offspring in Hamilton are unemployed and do not want to be as they are happy to survive on the state handout – it is better than they could get with a low paying job, for which they are ill educated at best anyway.

Why work when you can do better on the state.

Zaoui got the green light to stay in NZ when the MSM got in behind the Leftists who were agitating to have him given permission to stay in the country. Even some entertainers chimed in. Remember the amateurish ditty, Welcome Home, notable only for its tiny, wailing riff?

The Zaoui supporters are the same rabid bunch who argue NZ should open its doors to thousands and thousands of Muslim refugee/migrants.

Zaoui was a political candidate in Algeria for the Islamic National Front. Earlier he studied in Saudi Arabia. On the run, Belgium seems to have kept him under street arrest and it is alleged he continued his political activities when a refugee in Malaysia.

Zaoui’s dubious record can be read at:

BTW , do view the redacted police dash cam video ( posted last night ) that does show young children leaving the elementary school car park contrary to Sandy Hook Truthers false claims .

According to The Daily Mail there were 575 children enrolled at the time of the reported shootings. I haven’t seen all the cruiser video, but whan I have seen leaves me highly skeptical that the redactions were long enough for in excess of 500 children.

IMO the telling point is that there was an exercise running in Conneticut that day targeting “the needs of children”. Concurrent exercises also existed for 9/11 NY, 7/7 London, and the Boston Bombing.

“A few things about possible 2017 coalitions”
Winston (nzs Trump) is not going to be king maker. Simply because the coalition of losers hate each. Sure labour and NZF have a lot in common with their dislike of the Chinese. Both treat the greens with contempt.
For the pinko media to claim they could all form a government and live as one
big happy family is laughable. Then there is Labours problem. The current largest party in this coalition. Is in disarray. Their current union appointed leader is a bit of Joke. Most of his minions were crew on the Ark. The rest are inept.

Picking up on what Sir Cullen said earlier, it is very difficult to see how Labour, the Greens and Winston First could overcome their mutual loathing and form a government.

Even if they could do so in principle, the stumbling blocks around who would get what in, say, a 25%, 12.5%, 12.5% voter split would be virtually insurmountable.

It is often assumed that Winston First would be the king maker, but I think the Greens could equally play that role. I have long thought that it would make sense for the Greens to return to their environmentalist roots, move to the right of Labour and attract votes for both Labour and National by adopting a centrist green capitalist approach. After all, there is no green virtue in socialism.

If Trump wins the Presidency in America, maybe he will send SEALs to snatch Zaoui and resettle him at Guantanamo.

Incidentally, a Trump win might make NZ relieved that it got its new ambassador to the US settled in before a Trump entry ban on Muslims.

In the meantime, from Wikipedia, here are the main reasons NZ’s SIS eventually removed (in September 2007) the security risk certificate it had on Zaoui:

1. Zaoui’s cooperation in providing information to the authorities.

2. Additional classified information which showed that his associates were involved in terrorism, but not Zaoui himself.

3. The length of time he has been in New Zealand, and the length of time which has passed from the offences he was convicted of.

Zaoui commented that “the whole system of security risk certificates can now be reviewed”.

Presumably that would mean NZ would lower its barriers to terrorism suspects. Let’s hope they weren’t lowered.

Ugly Truth , the local police had to travel some distance and therefore took some time to reach the elementary school so it is highly likely that most of the children were already evacuated .However it’s indisputable that children can be see in the left quarter frame leaving the school car park .
Drills and emergency exercises of diverse kinds are always occouring in today’s modern societies especially given the heightened awareness and threat of terrorism .Children are of course especially vulnerable in any civil emergency so it’s no surprise that one like that should occour .My understanding it was more in the form of a paper admistrative exercise .It ‘s what’s called a coincidence .
However it’s not worth taking this much further until Sandy Hook Truthers like you can plausibly account for the missing children and teachers such as mother Scarlett Lewis so movingly discusses in her book. A book that demented so called Truthers disgustingly attempted to Trash at Amazon.com .

The Trump issue is not a left/right argument .
It has more to with inflaming intolerant bigots.

No, according to the police documentation they were evacuated after the police arrived.

Drills and emergency exercises of diverse kinds are always occouring in today’s modern societies…

Not all the time they’re not. For exercises to occur for the same time, same place, and same scenario as actual events defies pure chance.

http://www.julyseventh.co.uk/july-7-terror-rehearsal.html

POWER: …at half-past nine this morning we were actually running an exercise for, er, over, a company of over a thousand people in London based on simultaneous bombs going off precisely at the railway stations where it happened this morning, so I still have the hairs on the back of my neck standing upright!

PETER ALLEN: To get this quite straight, you were running an exercise to see how you would cope with this and it happened while you were running the exercise?

POWER: Precisely, and it was, er, about half-past nine this morning, we planned this for a company and for obvious reasons I don’t want to reveal their name but they’re listening and they’ll know it. And we had a room full of crisis managers for the first time they’d met and so within five minutes we made a pretty rapid decision, ‘this is the real one’ and so we went through the correct drills of activating crisis management procedures to jump from ‘slow time’ to ‘quick time’ thinking and so on.

I was initially quite confident that Zaoui was a dubious character, and that the SIS probably had good reasons to want him gone. So I was a bit disappointed when we eventually learnt that the case against him was a crock of shit.
It points to a continuing problem with security agencies: by their nature they have to retain a high degree of secrecy, but with that secrecy often comes incompetence and a lack of accountability.

Milky, your 1.06 comment as follows is absolute rubbish:

… we eventually learnt that the case against him was a crock of shit.

You are deluded by your Leftism, Milky.

This, from Wikipedia:

In 1991, Algeria held its first multiparty elections since independence. Ahmed Zaoui stood as a candidate for the Islamic Salvation Front (Front Islamique du Salut or FIS). However, the government cancelled 1991 elections after the first round results showed that the FIS would win, citing fears that the Islamist party would end democracy. When the government then banned the FIS and arrested thousands of its members, Islamist guerrillas rapidly emerged and began an armed campaign against the government and its supporters which became the Algerian Civil War.

In 1993, Zaoui fled to Europe. He was tried and convicted in absentia by the Algerian government and was convicted of “establishing a terrorist organisation to destabilise state institutions and terrorise the population” and for “plotting against the state, criminal conspiracy, inciting armed rebellion and assassinations and destruction of property” in May 1996, and February 1997, respectively. Both convictions carry sentences of life imprisonment.[3] Disputing the reports from Interpol as incomplete, Zaoui claimed and the RSAA found that there were six life sentences against him, as well as two death sentences.[4] Human rights groups have criticised the Algerian trials for contravening basic norms of justice.[5]

In March 1994, Belgium charged him with being “the instigator or the head of a criminal organisation” and two charges of using false passports. He was acquitted at his first trial but was convicted on appeal and received a four-year suspended sentence.[6]

While still under a Belgian home detention order which limited his movements to the street he lived on, he travelled illegally to Switzerland. The Swiss authorities refused his request for asylum due to his ongoing political activities, and made a deal with Burkina Faso to deport Zaoui and his family there, while still providing Zaoui with a 1500 Swiss franc monthly allowance

Every Saturday for the last few years, I’ve watched a streamed copy of the Friday night PBS Newshour from the USA, in particular because of the political section involving Mark Shields (“left”) and the more well-known NYT columist, David Brooks (“right”).

I’ve done this is spite of the fact that Shields and Brooks never really disagree about anything, but simply add different views of the same topic, and despite the fact that Brooks has been descending in the opinions of a lot of other right-wing commetators for some years, before dropping completely into the category of “laughable” following his infamous “sharp creased trousers” column about Obama in 2008.

But the time has come for even Brooks to deliver some huge mea culpas following eight months of false predictions about the rise of Trump. This mea culpa has come courtesy of his regular NYT column and I’ve not had a chance to see if he repeats it on PBS Newshour:

The question is: Should deference be paid to this victor [Trump and Trumpism]? Should we bow down to the judgment of these voters?

Well, some respect is in order. Trump voters are a coalition of the dispossessed. They have suffered lost jobs, lost wages, lost dreams. The American system is not working for them, so naturally they are looking for something else.

Moreover, many in the media, especially me, did not understand how they would express their alienation. We expected Trump to fizzle because we were not socially intermingled with his supporters and did not listen carefully enough. For me, it’s a lesson that I have to change the way I do my job if I’m going to report accurately on this country.

My, how humbling. Unfortunately Brooks, even in this moment of self reflection, still misses the point, which is served up to him by Ace of Spades (who is no friend of Trump):

Why don’t you just admit you expected Your Lessers to obey your pronouncements because of your self-evident superiority? *

And perhaps contemplate that it is precisely this attitude — the sneering contempt for anyone outside your small, unimaginative, well-educated-but-unimaginative drone class — is precisely what has caused this class to lose all of its (unearned) authority?
…
* BTW, asshole, you don’t have to “socially mingle” with anybody. People do not need to “socially mingle” with other people to know what the news is. They just have to buy a newspaper.

Who the hell has time to “socially mingle” even with one’s friends enough, let alone strangers, for purely interview/focus group purposes?

What you assholes need to do is let your intellects occasionally wander off the well-worn paths you’ve been treading down for 60 years. You just need to read someone who disagrees with you occasionally.

These fools live in a bubble completely insulated from popular thought but then presume to tell the nation what it really thinks.

Note that even David Brooks’ pronouncement that he needs to “socially mingle” with his lessers is just a regurgitation of another old idea he had — that the someone should set up programs to let The Elite go on camping trips with those of the lower orders, to facilitate such “social mingling.”

Or, as I like to say: David Brooks demands that a government program be set up which can introduce him to his doorman.

Law professor, Glenn Reynolds, also takes this moment for a solid swipe at Brooks – and his peers:

THERE’S SOMETHING GOING ON HERE, BUT YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT IS, DO YOU, MR. BROOKS?

Well, David, you should get out more. You might also try reading InstaPundit regularly. But mostly, you owe a bigger apology than this.

The Tea Party movement — which you also failed to understand, and thus mostly despised — was a bourgeois, well-mannered effort (remember how Tea Party protests left the Mall cleaner than before they arrived?) to fix America. It was treated with contempt, smeared as racist, and blocked by a bipartisan coalition of business-as-usual elites. So now you have Trump, who’s not so well-mannered, and his followers, who are not so well-mannered, and you don’t like it

If PBS had a fucking clue themselves they’d have “Ace” or Reynolds on every Friday to give a “right-wing” view opposite the 78 year old Shields – but that might result in angry progressives switching off the TV.

After all, we can’t have too much disagreement, now can we? It would not be polite.

As I recall it part of the deal to allow Ahmed Z to stay in Aotearoa formerly New Zealand was he agreed to give up his contacts with overseas Islamists .

So if I recall correctly he did have dubious ongoing contacts with undesirables but agreed to drop them.

Hardly a resounding character reference.

In the first instance there was no ” Everyone must check in FEMA drill ” sign put up put up on the day of the massacre . One was put up on the 15th a day after the massacre and it’s common to have a forward command centre as is the case in major civil emergencies of this kind ,

The RSAA which you will find in the Wikipedia link in my 1.24 post about Zaoui, and which reached contrary findings about the sentences imposed on Zaoui by the Algerian Government, was as follows.

The New Zealand Refugee Status Appeals Authority or RSAA, was an independent authority that heard the appeals of people who had been declined refugee status by the Refugee Status Branch of the New Zealand Immigration Service. It was replaced by the Immigration and Protection Tribunal in 2010.

The RSAA had 24 members, all practising lawyers or retired judges.

There were Kiwi’s travelling to ISIS territory with the intent of marrying – jihadi brides. That was the claim, the new information backs that up. The fact that they departed from Australia makes utterly no difference.
