Great. Let me know when you do.

I have a feeling all would be explained if I watched TV and saw more advertisements. I do my best to block them out.

Yup, rennet

marketing though, not many large produces (Fonterrible) use calf rennet anyway these days. most likely the same thing in a different wrapper

This site provides information for vegetarians. Cheese can be made with or without rennet which is derived from the stomach tissue of a slaughtered calf.

Huh ? wtf is rennet when it’s at home ? From a slaughtered calf – what is this, a pagan ritual ?

ICIJ is set to drop more information in May, while investigative journalist Nicky Hager – who’s been privy to the contents of the documents for about 18 months – has indicated there are plenty more stories yet to be published.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/78856107/panama-papers-what-are-they-are-why-should-we-care (last few lines of story so you don’t have the read the whole steaming pile – mein eyes!)

A so-called non-profit entity, the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ), cherry-picking information from a purported leak of 11.5 million documents from the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca. In turn, the findings of this consortium were provided to a network of over 100 media partners, including some of the largest newspapers in the world. What was not reported by the newspapers, all too eager to stenographically report what they were provided by the consortium, is that ICIJ is financially supported by George Soros’s Open Society Foundations and the Central Intelligence Agency-directed US Agency for International Development (USAID).

http://www.sott.net/article/316254-CIA-and-the-Panama-Papers-Masters-of-cherry-picking-leaked-documents

ICIJ membership is the only possible way Hagar could have had access for the last 18 months since they and only they were given them that early.

And isn’t it interesting and worth filing away, that Hagar associates himself with a CIA front.

And if you don’t like that site, sigh, google ‘icij via front’ and you’ll get 68,700 results in 0.11 seconds. Sigh.

Ok then – where has the vegeretardian cheese been all this time then, huh ? Scientific breakthrough ? Increase in demand ?
What did they do in the 1950s or earlier ? Just carrots and cabbage and water ?
I don’t eat cheese as a daily item or buy it week to week. Cheese is damn good it’s just not on the list.

I was talking to my 19 yo about it the other day, and he referred me to Poe’s Law.

Poe’s law is an Internet adage which states that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, parodies of extreme views will be mistaken by some readers or viewers for sincere expressions of the parodied views.

Re: Vege Cheese

I’m no cheese maker or expert, you need an acid and microbes(and few other bits) to turn milk to cheese. For ever this was done through using the rumen of calves, now there are other options.

But as I said, ‘Vegetarian’ cheese sounds like all sizzle and no steak to me (pun intended)

@ Reid 3.04pm,

100 upticks:

“While I never bother unlike many here, posting articles on the latest depravity, because as EAD and I have been stating here for ages, the question is not what’s happening, it’s why?

………….and you need to recognise not just the what but the critical why, then you and your children will be doomed to the same future the Swedes are enduring: raped, abused, murdered and dis-integrated until the life you want to pass onto your children doesn’t exist, all because you were too fucking dumb to clearly see what was so profoundly obvious simply because you refused to change your worldview.

To answer that is too painful a question if people were to be honest with themselves. If you read any so called “tinfoil hat, conspiracy” documents from history, what they called for is coming to pass in goyim countries – rootless, identityless, swimming in debt, dumbed down individuals, living in a police state, enduring mindless entertainment fed to them by a parrot press while they spend their lives working for digital “money” that gets created as a debt to the banks they ultimately control.

Take for example the issue of “race” which the MSM and Political hacks seem to worry themselves silly over all the time despite not being an issue for millenia upon millenia. “Diversity”, according to this lot is people of varying races and genders all saying the same things.

The viewpoint TPTB wants its puppets to bring to the table is for “minorities” (a propaganda term used even though White people only make up 7% of the worlds population) to say white people and societies are racist, women to say society is sexist and LGBTs to say it’s intolerant and homophobic. All these “diverse” people around the table agreeing Western Civilisation and our societal bonds must be smashed apart.

While TPTB take everything for themselves and bomb and destroy the Middle East and communities/buildings/artifacts that have been there for centuries, In the carcass of Western Civilisation what was once society is now women blaming men, gays blaming straights, “lefties” blaming “righties”, darkies blaming whites all fighting over breadcrumbs while TPTB take everything for themselves. NZ has been, and continues to be sold out to the highest bidders while we go into debt and slash interest rates to kid ourselves we’re still wealthy. Never mind our savings can’t earn us a return and our productive assets are in foreign hands.

At the same time in our dystopias, people fear Donald Trump because “sexist” and “racist” rhetoric is “violence” and “injustice” that inspires loathing and disgust in all right-thinking thinking people while Hillary, who has killed and ruined millions of lives, ripping countries apart for her Jewish and Saudi masters, is portrayed by the entire media as wonderful.

A great many of those “darkest immigrants ” can actually afford to live in those white suburbs so that even say Epsom and Remurea can rejoice in the diversity dividend that Auckand and our fair country enjoys.

Those airport programmes would be really thin without all of these weirdo Asians who don’t declare all the wads of cash they carry on them. What’s with that ? Oh – now you’re carrying $10K in notes in an envelope – in your carry-on. Cool. What’s this ? *Another* $5K. And another. Ok – is that it ? You’ve also got some undeclared food. Did you see this part of the form you signed ? Who does that ? Who carries thousands upon thousands in notes on them ? Shee-it they are a strange crew. Heard of a freakin bank ?
Fuckin blank look like it’s all a big load of nothing. Can’t speak English much. They’ve moved to NZ, haven’t they ? English – who needs it ? Fuck it. Weirdos. Fashion sense – the most boring outdated unflattering mismatched ghastly colour clothes possible. They look like the kiwi laser flag dude dressed them all. They’ve got no style. They’re boring. They’re funny looking. They walk funny. It’s like a whole ethnic group with the non-personality of the robot from Lost In Space – faaaaaar out !! The exception being one local from The Philippines. He’s got a big fuck off Ford 4×4 and a touch of James Dean cool. All the rest of the ah sank you svery much noddys – they’re like bloody children.

I’m a retard – I want to be with all the cool people. Yeah – but then it’s not cool anymore once it’s full of retards. It’s been turned into the same steaming pile of shit that they wanted to leave in the first place. Way to ruin the party.

Just about but it is possible for even vegans to eat a reasonably balanced diet although it would be so boring as to make life interminable. Any pulses will provide sufficient protein to sustain life.

What is cruel & bordering on child neglect is bringing up young kids on the crap. Even seed eating birds have more sense as they feed their young insects to give them a head start.

Bernie Sanders is a rich-lister:

US presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who has made income inequality a top campaign theme, had taxable income of $US205,271 ($265,775) in 2014, putting him almost in the top 5 per cent of United States earners, according to the release of his federal tax return.

But, when he goes to the Vatican, Uncle Bernie talks about helping the poor:

… Rather than an economy aimed at the common good, we have been left with an economy operated for the top 1 percent, who get richer and richer as the working class, the young and the poor fall further and further behind. …

I wonder how much of his income he’s given away for the purposes of ~~helping the poor~~ his presidential campaign?

I agree with you. I was a vegetarian from about age 16 to in between my two children when I realised after one child that our diet was insufficient for good health. I’ve also seen the effects of vegetarianism on my children’s friends. Typically the vegetarian kids are small and pale if the ones I know are anything to go by.

EAD thanks for that. I’ve recently started thinking about two things I’ve observed in the sheeple.

I’ve observed that one type of sheeple refuses to look at data in its entirety but parses it for anything “offensive” (to them) and if they come across even a single sentence in a thousand sentence piece of otherwise brilliance, they’ll stop reading and reject the entire brilliance. Notwithstanding up to that point, it was all perfectly (to them) fine.

I’ve noticed this in mm to the degree it’s his modus operandi, he never does anything else. And I’m wondering if this illness is a result of the lefty mindset, the rabid howling hallucinations these fools have that the world is deeply sinister and if it weren’t for the fucking idiots like them, everyone on Earth would be running round causing offence and being rude left, right and centre, 24/7/365.

This is where they get their towering sense of superiority and self-righteousness from, why they think that if it weren’t for unions, why employers would the very next day simply take out those workers who weren’t performing and shoot them. Then they’d chain the rest of the workers to their desks and make them all work 20 hours a day for 5c an hour. The gibbering fools really truly do hallucinate that if the unions weren’t there this really truly would actually happen, probably inside 5 minutes if not sooner.

Multiply this mindset out and extrapolate it into a worldview and you see why lefties think they’re just way better than everyone else because why, they’re humane and they’re kind and they’re sensitive and their widdle hearts are just so big their almost burst with kindness they’re so special, they truly really in fact are.

My point EAD is that because the evil ones are who you and I know they are, you’d think that lefties would be amongst the first on the truth train. But as we know, hardly any of them are.

It’s just a nascent hypothesis, but thought it’d be interesting to get your input on it.

The other type of course are the conservatives, they’ll be covered in another post.

one news – social media has exploded with K Mart style – oh my god I found one of the last hexagonal candle holders – so I Instagramed it – oh my god. Gushing over cheap crap from some cheap chain store where all the mouth-breathing dumbdumbs spend their weekends. It’s ok – I have to buy shit there – I don’t have an orgasm about any of their rubbish. If you’re shopping there you’ve failed in life – look – surrounded by the obese gormless living dead in tasteless scroungy clothes, worn out dirty shoes, jandals or filthy bare feet and ugly minimum wage tattoos. What on earth are they doing ? They look like they’re stuck in freeze frame. Han Solo in carbonite shopped faster than these losers.

This is really fucking clever – put the self-checkouts in the middle of shop. And then security checks every shopping bag on the way out – not knowing who’s just come from where doing what. Who’s a clever boy then ?

You may have missed my comment (addressed to you) about this article the other day:

Our resident shopping expert, Left Right and Centre, may wish to comment:

“Hi guys I’m just at K-Mart, I’ve come to find some bras because I’m a FF and plagued with big boobs and this is the closest thing I can find to what I fit,” she says at the start of the video, which she uploaded to her comedy page on Facebook, Memoirs of a Maori. However the bra was only an F and, according to Ms Heremaia, F-ing ugly to boot.

“I am so offended that K-Mart and other places feel they have to give big-tittie girls granny bras.

“Us younger ones, we like to be a bit of saucy minx every now and again. I’ve had it up to here.”

Lucia Maria suggested that this person should buy from the online Bendon Lingerie store.

Mikenmild mistakenly thought that I was wanting to buy lingerie for myself!

I’m sure you’ll have some thoughts, LRC?

First off – she ain’t going to Bendon – so that’s a non-answer – because that would be pricey. And she wants everything for nothing. Obviously that’s no good then.

@ Nasska – I think this quote sums up quite well who is insane. The insane ones are those who try and place themselves on a “spectrum” from which all political debate can be conducted from. Once they do that, they are ripe for the divide and rule game

“The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. “Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does.” They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.” – Alduous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited

Lucia Maria – “Does anyone know if vegetarian Edam and Edam are the same cheese?”

This is my line of work and I can tell you no they are not the same.
The reason is as others have said,its do with the rennet added and whether it is calf rennet which is used in normal cheese or synthetic or plant based rennet used in vegetarian cheese.
Also the Edam you buy in the supermarket is mass produced bulk blocks cut into smaller blocks where as vegetarian Edam is produced on a much smaller scale due to lower demand and sales.

I’m probably called insane because I have a months worth of non-perishable food in storage and a significant sum of precious metals & cash outside of the banking system.

The insane would call me a “prepper”, our ancestors would have called it either “saving for a rainy day” or being a man and looking out for loved ones.

Both Aldous Huxley & George Orwell were intelligent men who well read the human condition. That is not to say that their opinions were other than generalisations formed by interactions with others they disagreed with anyway.

You & Reid make the grave mistake of thinking yourselves as being the sole custodians of the “truth”. Where we differ is that you see everything as being preordained by the “evil ones”. I & many others of the centre realise that there is no central planning. Everything that happens is random & only influenced by current conditions.

That is not to say that there are not greedy & evil people out there reading the currents & ready to act to their own advantage be their goal riches or power.

You waste your lives wandering around a dark room searching for a black cat that isn’t there.

Let me think. I’ll start with the faded off-white colour. Then the number of holes (don’t get any kinky ideas – it’s from worn-out cotton!). Well, all things considered, it must have been a long time ago!

Let me put it to you this way. Surely your husband is more interested in what you look like out of knickers than in them? 🙂

Thanks for that.

Would you be able to give an opinion as to why two of the supermarkets in my area (haven’t checked the 3rd yet) are only selling Mainland Vegetarian Edam? Was it a mistake or is there some concerted attempt to switch everyone over to vegetarian cheese?

Lucia Maria – could not answer that one definitely but more than likely a mistake as if everyone started eating vegetarian Edam there would not be enough for everyone as we don’t produce enough of it as it is a niche product.
To give you an idea of scale the biggest cheese plants in NZ could churn out about 350 tonnes of Edam each in a day if needed whereby vegetarian Edam could be produced maybe at around 10 tonne or less.

To her – not at you nosty btw – just to totally avoid any and all potential confusion.
The joy of the internet is that you can up to a certain point just go for it even if just a handful read your nonsense.

All of these stupid stories – I’m thinking so many things. I mean – look at her for a start. Charde ? The name is fucked – maybe I’m ignorant. I wouldn’t pick it. Stripper name fgs. Can’t see her in photo – headshot – I don’t click videos so assume fat as anything. Stupid Stuffed comments all say all the fat women are fat because it’s genetics and breasts size is never related to your daily food eating contest. Idiots. Look at her – I don’t care what bra she’s got on – just put one over her face – she looks weird. Would you root that ? Hello ? If she was on top and lost her balance you could end up like ground zero after the towers dropped.

Bras – I know they’re damned pricey when they go up in cup size – there’s so many different damned combinations of cup and chest size I think it is – I don’t know exactly why apart from good old supply and demand. Got to set up your Chinese factory for small batches – oh dear – costs an accidentally severed off arm and a leg – back to work the rest of you ingrates.

What would an elephant in a bra look like ? Does it matter what the bra is like ? Sexy, huh ? FF size – sure, sure. You want quality and quantity. Not just quantity. Maybe it’s the industrial strength re-bar reinforcing that makes them cost so much ? She wants to be a saucy minx sometimes. You know how to really feel sexy ? Lose about ten layers of fat rolls. Another cost of the obesity crisis – tits like bowling balls that need hammocks to keep them off the plate (partial credit: Married With Children).

I don’t know any secret shops or what that woman could do. I would’ve thought bras are the least of her problems. I know breast sizes have gone through the roof last 30-50 years – somewhat or mostly in proportion to sickening increase of supersumo women. My local K Mart sells T shirts in sizes like a perfect game of ten pin – xxxxxxxxxxxxL. Unrelated to bras – I just find that hilarious. Stuff them – it’s the fat acceptance movement – I’ve finally found my KB angle to kill the whole debate off with. Oh – fat women – nothing wrong with us and we want sexy bras at a low cost just like the human-shaped women.

It’s bloody K Mart anyway – none of their bras are sexy. Nothing is sexy about K Mart.

Both Aldous Huxley & George Orwell were intelligent men who well read ~~the human condition~~ human history and the means by which rulers maintain control. Insights into how individuals are crushed and conformity is enforced.

Huxley observed that by keeping society passive, entertained (much like the Romans with their “bread & circuses”) and focused on trivia, you can fill the populace up with all sorts of nonsense, they’ll believe it and the rulers could mould a compliant population. Take a look at tonight’s “One news” for an example.

Orwell amongst many things noted how fear, punishment combined with surveillance & a controlled press are used to control a population. Modern society in other words.

If you want a book on the human condition – go read Atlas Shrugged

You & Reid make the grave mistake of thinking yourselves as being the sole custodians of the “truth”.

No this is YOUR hallucination nasska and it’s shared by many of you here, but it’s not true, at least for me.

My beef with you is that what UT, EAD and I and millions of others of us worldwide all believe, is incredibly important, if true, but you have already in your minds decided that it can’t be. Based on what? A careful objective analysis of the millions of data points that ALL point to the same thing?

You guys don’t know because you’re wilfully ignorant of the entire field let alone the details of what’s in it, but it’s a fact that everyone of us in those millions all have the same basic perspective on what the issue is, and you know nothing about it. It’s like a non-religious person trying to explain the Bible to someone who knows it. They just can’t give any insight, but the non-religious person deeply believes they DO have insight. This prevents you from looking at the data objectively. You THINK you’re being objective because you THINK your position is “scientific.” That’ your view is odds on the most likely because FFS in the whole world of 7 billion there’s only a few million, even only a few hundred million that believe this shit? There are many aspects to this syndrome and I point out the exact same syndrome exists when a non-religious person attempts to explain or debate the Bible with a religious person who knows it. So it’s a dynamic that happens in thought processes.

The point is, this is very limiting because it means you don’t look at the data you simply and exclusively refer to the conclusion you have already reached. I guarantee you and I couldn’t have an intelligent discussion on 911 because I guarantee you know nothing about it. You might have watched a 2 hr “documentary” explaining how preposterous the whole idea was, replete with disinformation and straw men aplenty so to tell you, in your “scientific” view, that it’s just fucking nuts, period. But like I said, I guarantee you have NEVER, not ONCE actually dropped your mindset and set out to review the data points on the sites that EAD, UT and I frequent. Therefore what I know about 911 and what you know doesn’t really compare, and I guarantee I know everything about 911 that you know, because I live in the West. You may think that’s arrogant but really it’s simply a fact.

And as I said in the beginning, if true, this is critical knowledge, available for free, right now, a mere click away, and none of you will avail yourself of that. I find that fucking dumb, frankly. That’s why I call you sheeple, because if true, the upcoming effects on you, your health, your life, your children, your retirement, your job are awfully significant and becoming more so like a massive wave, growing and growing and growing. And if I was where I was before I started reading all the stuff I’ve read, I’d think that was pretty important. But you guys don’t. Just like the boys who’ve headed off to our various wars, you’re one day going to find yourself heading to the works, and some of you probably won’t even know it, until you get unloaded at the abattoir.

I didn’t see Peter in the video. Surely a supportive husband would travel halfway around the world to support his wife at such a crucial moment?

“I’m probably called insane because I have a months worth of non-perishable food in storage and a significant sum of precious metals & cash outside of the banking system.”

I saw “Doomsday Preppers” on the Discovery channel. What kind of non-perishable foodstuff do you have? (I couldn’t get over the fixation for Agee jars and vegetable pickles.)

Our differences can be summed up thus:

You genuinely believe that somewhere, somehow there is a group who pull the strings & control the world like ringmasters.

I don’t. I can only repeat what I put in my comment directed to EAD where I cited random chance & manipulators in the wings ready to exploit any breaks that go their way.

If I’m wrong I’ll see you at the entrance to the abattoir & apologise.

I’ve just visited the Stuff website (at your suggestion) and noted an article entitled Protesters cage themselves in show of empathy for overcrowded chooks. This is an encouraging trend. Instead of climbing trees or rooftops, and generally making a nuisance of themselves, protestors should make it easy for police to take them away.

Or we could get the police to start spraying arrested protesters with non-toxic health & safety tested and approved extremely strong glue, get the police to tip large barrels of feathers over them and get the police to take videos and post them on their Facebook page, by law.

And the glue would take about a week to wear off, during which time the protesters had to get up and go to work or buy groceries etc, and during which time they got smellier and smellier, until even their flatmates, formally so very caring, made them sleep on the porch, whereupon the insects and animals were attracted by the extremely alluring pheromones deviously implanted in the glue.

I don’t think Reid is at risk of becoming unemployed for quite some time. He seems to have lots of innovative ideas that will help to get bludgers and no-hopers sufficiently motivated to jump into productive employment!

This website should help you get started:

Business Training and Advice Grant helps people getting government assistance who want to start up their own business. It helps towards the cost of training and advice you need to start a business. You could also use it if you need the services of a business adviser.

A well-crafted application, with lots of statements saying how you want to help the down-and-outers who can’t or won’t help themselves, and with a few passing references to Treaty of Waitangi principles, should do the trick! Then bingo – watch ~~government money~~ our hard-earned tax money roll into your bank account!

Just watched a St John’s appeal ad and occurs to me, since the govt funds so much less deserving causes, how come it can’t even see it’s way to fund a national ambulance service? How comes that vital service is left up to the generosity of the taxpayer while so many less deserving slip through to suck at the teat, with no questions asked, it seems, in many case? Why is that? How come St Johns isn’t just standard full funded, and all the rest of far, far less worthy candidates, compete for the remainder?

I mean clearly, the cynical calculation works because none of us will let St Johns fail.

But isn’t it indicative of a certain ruthless calculation, that Treasury continues this and the politicians of all stripes, have gone along with it, since forever?

Sorry, missed the edit window. Here’s the complete rant:

How comes that vital service is left up to the generosity of the taxpayer while so many less deserving slip through to suck at the teat, with no questions asked, it seems, in many case? Why is that? How come St Johns isn’t just standard full funded, and all the rest of far, far less worthy candidates, compete for the remainder?

I mean clearly, the cynical calculation works because none of us will let St Johns fail.

But isn’t it indicative of a certain ruthless calculation, that Treasury continues this funding lack for this particular service even in this day and age where is so much other deadwood that could so easily be cut to allow a budget-neutral alteration of priority, and yet both the bureaucrats and politicians of all stripes, have gone along with this?

And it’s not the point they part-fund it, I’m sure they do. The point is, they need to, not should, but need to, full fund it.

And leave the management alone.

That’s the issue.

The stupid bureaucrats don’t like funding something they don’t directly control. That’s why they’re not doing it.

Idiots, aren’t they.

But so are we, for tolerating this state of affairs.

How many ambulances and services could St Johns provide for the $220m spent annually for the stone age grunting language to stay alive?

Crikey, $220mil is almost eight flag referendums! (Appologies to Tony Hancock esq.and the Blood Donor routine)
