AgentBallSack, why should I have anxiety over a phoney like Trump ?

Another what if: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/07/us/politics/michigan-primary.html

Mr. Trump’s appeal to blue-collar voters, mostly whites, is driving his popularity in Michigan, where he has a polling lead ahead of the Republican primary on Tuesday. And these same voters, who historically supported Democrats, are at the core of his strategy for winning the general election and turning Democratic-leaning Rust Belt states back into the red column.

I believe that there was about 66,000 burglaries last year. About 6,000 solved. About 60,000 robberies unsolved. Have you dropped the ball, mister policeman?

Thought this was a interesting post on the billion dollar Auckland IT spend, seems to be written by some one with internal connections.

Worth a read.

http://thestandard.org.nz/auckland-council-it-blowout-guest-post/

That’s brilliant brett. Everyone should read it. Thanks for the heads up. Shame it’s only attracted mild interest from the karma scores. Some people hallucinate that if data appears on a site they disapprove of, it’s therefore automatically (a) false and (b) worthless. Such people are of course total morons incapable of applying even the simplest logic to their thought processes. Of course one of the other “shames” is that such people are some of this blog’s most prolific commenters.

Oh the humanity!

The ceasefire in Syria (which is not really a ceasefire, but rather a “focusing of combat operations”) is holding surprisingly well. This is primarily due to the brilliant tactic of forcing each fighting group in Syria to define itself either as a “good moderate”, and be guaranteed safety, or as as en “evil terrorist” and become an indisputably legitimate target which anybody can engage. De jure, the only ones who can legally engage anybody in Syria are only the Russians and the Syrians, everybody else, including the US-led coalition, is present there in total illegality, but de facto the latest agreement also acknowledges the right of all parties to engage the “evil terrorists”. By forcing each group to self-define itself the Russians have completely taken away any credibility from the rather ludicrous accusation that they were bombing the “good terrorists”, the latter category having basically disappeared from the conflict. And to be really honest and blunt about it, the US has been forced to accept the Russian definition of a terrorist as “anybody who fights against the Syrian government”. Oh, I know, they never agreed to such a wording, but since those who until now fought were categorized into “good” and “bad” opposition to the Syrian government and since now the “good opposition” accepts the truce/ceasefire, that means that all those who fight against the government are ipso facto “bad”. Thus anybody taking up arms against the Syrian government is “bad” and a legitimate target for total elimination. QED.

The worst part for the Americans must have been that they waltzed into this conceptual trap with their eyes absolutely open, but that they could do nothing about it. They knew that their only chance to avoid a humiliating military defeat on the ground was to transmogrify it into a “ceasefire” followed by some kind of vague “transition”. So yeah, they hate this outcome, but the other one was even worse. Besides, some officials no doubt realized that the American policy in Syria was totally insane, bordering on a kind of dissociative identity disorder in which various agencies were not aware of what the others were doing and, in some cases, were even literally fighting each other on the ground. To persist on such an absolutely crazy course was bringing the risk of a major war with Russia, something neither the Europeans nor a big part of the (non-Neocon) US deep state really wanted. So while we can legitimately pour scorn on the imbecility of the Obama Administration’s policy in Syria, let us always also remember that it could have been worse (just imagine Hillary in the White House!). By stepping back from the brink the USA did the right thing.

And it’s not like we should choke up on gratitude either. First, the USA created his mess to begin with and, second, it’s not like right now they have fully recovered their sanity either. Not only is the US seething at its humiliation by Russia but now some die-hard Neocons want to try Assad, Russia, Iran for ‘war crimes’ in Syria! That nonsense is the direct result from this uniquely American mix of delusion and impotent rage about Russia and, really, the entire world. Something like a child breaking a toy he was told he could not have. While I would never discount the possibility of the USA doing something really reckless, the main danger today, as before, comes not from the USA but from the toxic and explosive Turkey+Saudi combo…

So why complain about the people who are simply implementing the policy approved by the Minister you people support?

And how come no-one complains about the policy that’s truly damaging, nor about the lack of media coverage over that? i.e. tens of thousands of Chinese p.a. coming in, all settling in Akld, thus changing the face of the city in ways too numerous to count, all without us being consulted?

And yet there’s a hysterical knee jerk over this tiny point case with hundreds of media hours devoted to it yet none to the above, much more serious issue?

What sort of sheeple are you?

Particularly dumb ones, evidently.

Um – perhaps not a good example by a school principal???

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/77622719/rangiora-high-principal-peggy-burrows-sacked

With such a long drawn out process to sack this numpty, you’d have to say it’s very likely she doesn’t have a leg to stand on! On what planet is it OK for a CE (a principal is to all intents and purposes a CE of a school) to leak confidential board papers (especially when especially instructed not to?)

Oh wait! That’s right – if you are a libtard the law and rules don’t apply to you because “libtards always know best!”.

We have a major honesty problem with the teaching profession. I’m sure it’s not all teachers, but there is enough evidence to suggest that there are systemic integrity issues centering around union behaviour. Long overdue for us to have a Royal Commission into union corruption like the Aussies have (Labour are always shouting out for Royal Commissions – anyone have any idea why their silent on this?).

AgentBallSack – as you have dragged the issue down to your level, I’ll respond in a way which you might understand

” … He’s right though the judge is a cock”.

I guess you’d know as it takes one to know one!

Seriously though – I thought the judge behaved in a very proper fashion. He was very respectful (referring throughout to the loser as “Sir” even after he’d been clearly in contempt of the court) and very clear in his communication.

Reid,

‘And it’s not like we should choke up on gratitude either. First, the USA created his mess to begin with and, second, it’s not like right now they have fully recovered their sanity either….”

Untrue ! For once inform yourself of the facts leading up to the Civil war . It all can traced back to his Dad Hafez al-Assad and his bloody and dictatorial rule culminating in the massacre of thousands Feb 1982.Jump to 2011 and further shootings and killings by his son against peaceful protestors .

Apparently 2 people now hallucinate the very same media who told us there were WMDs in Iraq is now telling us the truth about Syria.

If it wasn’t so serious in terms of the deaths, rapes, etc such disinformation facilitates, it’d be almost amusing that we have at least two profound morons participating in GD tonight.

Instead, the willingness and the gullibility necessary to believe such palpable disinformation year after year, decade after decade, is simply tragic and frankly, shameful.

The two morons and the village idiots who believe this need to hand in their badges. They’re the biggest idiots on the planet, no clue at all, ever. Or maybe they’re just evil.

I wonder which it is.

Frequently, much is made of the cruelty shown by ME rulers to their people. Tyrants such as Gaddafi, Mubarak & Saddam Hussein crushed dissent without mercy yet it would not be hard to argue that the average citizen of their fiefdoms enjoyed more individual freedom & prosperity under their rule than what preceded it & what came afterwards. There are no successful democracies.

Why do you think this is so? Has Islam made them childlike & easily subordinate? Is life cheap to them? For whatever reason it seems a sure guarantee that Assad is still Syria’s best bet…..warts & all.

http://moyhu.blogspot.co.nz/2016/03/templs-up-0196-in-march-new-record.html
TempLS up 0.196°C in February – new record.

Most GHCN data for February is now in – a few gaps like Greenland, Mexico, Peru. For TempLS mesh (report here) the anomaly average rose from 0.889°C to 1.085°C. January had dropped from December; but still, the February reading beat the previous record month of December by 0.115°C. TempLS grid had a similar rise, but from a lower January base.

This adds to the evidence that February was very warm indeed. The NCEP/NCAR index was up by a similar amount (0.175); the two satellite indices were up by about 0.3°C. Each, of course, highest in its record. I would expect comparable rises in the main surface indices (GISS, NOAA, HADCRUT). GISS, for example, could approach 1.3°C.

The heat was especially in a broad band from W Europe to E Siberia, with a branch down through China. Another branch from Alaska to US Midwest. I think the patterns around Canada/Greenland may change with more data coming in, with possible upside to the global total.

The breakdown plot shows heat almost everywhere, except for Antarctica. SST is very slightly down.

I’ll show here the ENSO comparison with 1997/8. 2015/6 is similar in pattern to 1997/8, but nearly 0.5°C warmer. If the pattern continues, the peak warmth may continue till August or so. The plot is in the style of this post, which I’ll update from time to time.

Comparing apples with apples.

Gaddafi was a despot. He may have been a successful despot but that would seem to reinforce my assertion that benevolent dictators are the only system that works. The USA is leveraging off lefty calls for Assad to be overthrown in order to turn Syria into an Islamic shithole.

The way I see it the choices boil down to dictatorship, anarchy or religious tyranny.

nasska, Ghadaffi was taken out because he dared to require Libyan oil sales be paid for in gold african dinars.

This represented a mortal threat to the petrodollar.

As I’ve told you many many times here, the very first act of the provisional Libyan govt even before the bullets stopped flying and before they offered anything to the wrecked civilians, was to setup a reserve central bank. Why was that the very first act? And why did Libya then become the ISIS breeder?

What about 2+2 is too fucking difficult for you and many others to compute?

That was just a broad brush, there are thousands of detail points, all pointing to the same thing.

What about 2+2 is too fucking difficult for you and many others to compute?

And why.

That’s the question YOU need to answer to YOURSELF if you’re in the LEAST interested in understanding the world. Not the what, but WHY can’t you see the utter fucking clearly apparent roaringly completely obvious.

Rhetorical question for me, but not for you mate. This is not an insult to your intelligence, it’s a genuine question that even after history establishes facts for you calmly to pore over at your leisure, you and many others like you are evidently still incapable of so doing, instead you have to live in the manufactured fantasy that was woven for you at the time it happened. And that’s what I mean by the why. Why do you need to do that? Answer that for yourself, and you free yourself, ignore it, and you remain imprisoned, but you don’t even know you are.

Gutless wonder !

The gold dinar conspiracy myth ,

10. This was a war for Libya’s oil. That is daft. Libya was already integrated into the international oil markets, and had done billions of deals with BP, ENI, etc., etc. None of those companies would have wanted to endanger their contracts by getting rid of the ruler who had signed them. They had often already had the trauma of having to compete for post-war Iraqi contracts, a process in which many did less well than they would have liked. ENI’s profits were hurt by the Libyan revolution, as were those of Total SA. and Repsol. Moreover, taking Libyan oil off the market through a NATO military intervention could have been foreseen to put up oil prices, which no Western elected leader would have wanted to see, especially Barack Obama, with the danger that a spike in energy prices could prolong the economic doldrums. An economic argument for imperialism is fine if it makes sense, but this one does not, and there is no good evidence for it (that Qaddafi was erratic is not enough), and is therefore just a conspiracy theory “

Fletch at 2.11 pm
Thanks for your reply and comments re Willis.

I agree that internet porn is too available and kids with access to the internet just have to click on ‘yes I am 18’ even if they are 13 or whatever. Kids under 13 really need supervision not just from porn but also from mass killing ‘games’ without consequences, and road racing equivalents . I say ‘equivalents’ because an 11 year old told me recently that he knows how to drive. From video games. Yeah right. 212km/hr on the Hutt Rd anyone.

Gone are the days of mail order videos or sneaking into a shop in K Road or equivalent location. It is immediately available e.g. on a phone at a bus stop. Watching porn is no substitute for a real relationship but Willis has been married 8 years ago and only stopped the porn 2 and bit years ago. On the first 2 years of marriage/relationship they should be going at it like cobblers elbows. Is the wider issue something else e.g. heavy drinking can be a cover for repressed homosexuality.

2 thoughts
One. Willis’s activity is personal and not a thing to put on Facebook – there are boundaries and ‘need to know’ or not . My view.
Two. He may have stopped but has he addressed the underlying matter(s). E.g. he is a Christian- did he have an oppressed childhood that lead him to this outlet.

From a Runner’s World article he has other issues as well.
……His drinking habit went back to his teens, when it wasn’t so much an indulgence as a way of life for many youngsters in Lower Hutt, New Zealand. “Basically, since I was 12, I binge drank twice a week, every week,” he says. “It’s what all my friends did, and I thought, ‘Do I find a new group of friends, or do I join in?’ So I dived in, headfirst.”……..

That is pretty serious. I am not so sure Lower Hutt will be happy to hear that.

http://www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/nick-willis-a-man-in-full

I wish Willis well at Rio and in his married life but I don’t agree with putting that sort of stuff in the public domain.
That is why I suggest there may be an alternative motive. He was 6 seconds off PB at London 2012 and well down the finishing order after an adjusted Silver at Beijing on 2008. World Champs fade. Olympic medals don’t.
There is more to this than immediately on show.

A few years ago my son arrived in the UK on his O.E. He was questioned by this rabid female in immigration who accused him of being a foreigner who was there to take jobs off honest British citizens. This lovely lady was dark as the ace of spades and from some African country who I am certain did not spill blood for Mother England. My son has 5 relations who are buried in France and Egypt fighting for these pricks. That’s why I voted for a change in the flag to remove that bloody Union Jack.

Left Right and Centre

New York City’s ‘Broken Window’ policy of charging every minor committed crime proved effective and cleaned up the crime riddled city.

A book ‘Freakonomics’ has an interesting theory on mitigating factors to falling NY crime rates in the 90s. To put it all down to broken windows is a bit too easy a conclusion to draw.

next – On the news – they had the Port Arthur murderer – 1 000+ years no parole sentence. Are you listening NZ overlords ?

next – Some Asian fella in a Min of Health high-up job on the news – you’ll never pronounce his name – he needed subtitles for certain clarity – although I did catch it when he said ‘we’re going to put these people more under a microscope’. How would he go in the private sector ? A lot of privates like to know what people are saying without a translator.

nek minute – Good TV, Bad TV. Secrets of Great British Castles, good TV. The Bachelor NZ. Fark off !!

next –

15 year old Sativa Lane has been missing from home for 4 days. If I had named my kid Sativa they would have to be missing 4 years before I reported it. And I would have changed their name by deed poll.

Without the silly named peasants would there be any news ?

next – Maggy quoted me – how cool is that ?
next –

“I think it is extremely important to shift the focus of this issue to the real victims, the women and girls who are being exploited because of the high demand for porn.”

Far out mate – I think you should stick to what you know – cardio for the legs and wrist. Ah mate – *please* !!

next –

howitis, internet porn is a serious problem now despite all the tittering behind the hands of some on here. Kids easily have access to it and can become hooked. As has been said, it isn’t harmless for some people.

You forgot to add that getting off is a sin and hell is full of arthritic ridden wrist wobblers. No hidden agenda there eh ?

and then – so – where does that leave Nick ? Does he run better with or without all the self-help ? If his training times dip, then what ? Go back to spanking the life out of it ?

what else ?

NCEA? Cannot, read, write, or perform simple calculations but really really shit hot on kapa haka, te reo and singing national anthem in stone age dialect!

Look at the internet – a lot of people suck at spelling or can’t be arsed or whatever. That’s one thing about the internet and typing everything – no hiding that you’re a farkin little noddy dipshit that ain’t never read nothin’. English is huge – I have to look up spellings and words all the time.

This post is getting up there, eh ? Oh well – shit happens.

It warms my heart to see so many African immigrants on the news wearing classic fashion items of their adopted country like face coverings and weird hats, table cloths. Oh well – at least they haven’t yet covered themselves in ‘urban chic’ bogan tattoos and tribal piercings.

That’s why I voted for a change in the flag to remove that bloody Union Jack.

How some of the old-timers would cope without a wee fun-size Union Jack there I don’t know. Flag change helpline. At flagline – we know that sometimes it can be hard when there’s a change in national flag. That’s why we’re here to help and listen. At Flagline – we will always be here (unlike the old flag) to hear you.

Just remember – they used to sing the national anthem at the cinema – and not even a NZ one.

So Crusher has finally got one.

Dunedin man’s 72 Ford GT confiscated after ‘sustained loss of traction

A Dunedin man lost his appeal and his 72 Ford GT.

Donald John McLean was convicted on a charge of sustained loss of traction in the Dunedin District Court last year, and later sentenced to 70 hours community work, and disqualified from driving for a year.

On September 18, Judge Michael Turner ordered the confiscation of his car, a 1972 Ford GT.

McLean, who could not be reached for comment, estimated the car to be valued between $40,000-$100,000, with $60,000 owed to a family trust for the vehicle

McLean, who represented himself at the hearing, filed an appeal against his conviction and sentence, arguing a miscarriage of justice had occurred.

They still haven’t got it.

Police recover 9000 cannabis plants in Nelson-Marlborough aerial operation

Operation commander Senior Sergeant Grant Andrews said the number of plants recovered was a significant increase on last year’s result. Reports last year estimated about 4000 plants had been recovered across the district.

Police and Royal New Zealand Air Force staff with cannabis recovered from Marlborough during last year’s aerial operation. This year’s operation has netted about 9000 plants across the Tasman district, more the double last year’s haul.

Andrews said officers located some large commercial outdoor plots along with a number of indoor growing operations.

“It’s a success in the fact we have removed that much cannabis,” he said.

==========================================
Can someone tell these clowns that actually none of us really give a stuff about this.
Best left to grow and and bring the price down to nothing then all the Burgs they can’t solve will stop as well. That’s the current bullshit campaign, catch the uncatchable and send them to jail so we can create career criminals.

Staggering that grown up, supposedly educated individuals want to continue doing what they have done for so many years to achieve the same results as they have for all those years. Dumb as sacks of rocks.
Well that’s why they are called plods I guess.

Nice day in the bush and a time filler for the next 12 months till the next lot.

While the aerial phase has been completed, Senior Sergeant Andrews said there was still a lot of work to be done following up on information gathered and further arrests were likely.

“It’s not over just because the helicopter is no longer here,” he said.

“This is a year-long operation

Time for a taxpayer revolt.

Manaolo, looks like all the other slymballs don’t like their nest crapped in.

time we had some American radicalism.

Especially the Mexi’s.
Their President was ranting the other day about Trump. It occurred to me that had he and his cronies done a half decent job in their own country their citizens wouldn’t need/want to leave for a better country.
Shows what wankers these people are.
