“Socialism” = Rape Culture

How is importing swathes of sub-human, sub-Saharan muslims working out for Sweden? Not that well, apparently!

Rigged!

Voter fraud in the US by the DNC – it’s real

Imagine that, a corrupt political party acting corruptly – in Debbie Wasserman-Schultz’s county.

How awful are the Democrats if they keep on proving Trump’s ‘outrageous’ comments correct? Over and over and over again!

  pah for the course stuff among Republicans according to this report,
  
  Iowa GOP voter arrested for alleged voter fraud: report
  
  “A Republican woman in Iowa has been arrested on suspicion that she voted twice in the general election, according to a new report.
  
  Terri Lynn Rote, 55, was arrested and charged with first-degree election misconduct, The Des Moines Register reported.
  
  Rote allegedly voted early at an election office in Des Moines and then cast another ballot at a satellite voting location, according to police.>>”

    I think both parties are using the same defence that ultimately killed a standing court case for dear leader Clark after the 2005 election debacle here.
    
    Others do it too, it’s not fair to just punish us – MOVE ON!
    
    And we do.

    Said it before, the media finds one elderly confused person who cast two votes because she was concerned that her first one had gone astray and it’s a Republican voter fraud headline. Meanwhile we have the video of senior Democrat officials boasting that they bussed illegal voters around precincts to vote in a large scale exercise in vote fraud and…………..crickets.
    
    In fact despite Jonar’s claim below by “experts” those are merely Democrat paid experts. Most people accept that there is an endemic level of voter fraud with 99.9% carried out by Democrats. This does affect elections, even presidential ones. JFK’s victory in 1960 is widely agreed to have hinged on massive fraud to win the critical state; Al Franken became a senator on the back of illegal votes by felons, investigators have tracked more felon’s votes than Franken’s majority.
    
    Right now, the DO (J) is actively obstructing any attempts to clean up voter rolls and to ensure that only legitimate voters can vote. If Hillary Clinton wins the number of illegal votes will almost certainly be greater than her victory margin; that’s why the Democrats so vociferously object to any attempts to prevent voter fraud, they rely on it in many cases and nobody has ever looked at it seriously.

  http://fortune.com/2016/10/18/studies-contradict-trump-claim-that-voter-fraud-is-very-very-common/
  
  Most experts say voter fraud is extremely rare in the U.S., with one study by a Loyola Law School professor finding just 31 known cases of impersonation fraud out of 1 billion votes cast in U.S. elections between 2000 and 2014.
  
  http://www.voanews.com/a/voter-fraud-extremely-rare-hard-accomplish/3562240.html
  
  The New York Times noted that an aggressive campaign against voter fraud by the administration of President George W. Bush brought 120 cases, with 86 convictions, out of 200 million votes cast.
  
  What’s more dangerous for democracy in the US is Trump’s promotion of a myth.

    Based on what evidence ? These rigging allegations stem from ,
    
    1 Republican attempts to stifle the Democrat vote
    
    2 A petulant Trump and his supporters who claim if he loses the elections they have to be rigged but if he wins it is hard to say what except hopefully some hot runny eggs on his face.

This is a disgrace. This will end up costing National. Not only has Kelvin Davis spoken out again this violation of human rights but so has Davin Seymour, Peter Dunne and Winston Peters. I hear many on this blog saying it inhumane not to allow assisted suicide. I wonder how many of you also support this denial basic human rights of medical care for a non violent prisoner.

  Its the parole board who have control over this situation not John Key. He is unable by law to override the Board. He made a statement to the effect that it would be good to allow this poor person to die with her family, buts thats it.
  If Politicans could influence Parole Board decisions the prsions would be empty and the streets full of prisoner’s whos mother inlaw’s step brother needs his toenails cut and only they can do it.

    You seem to think process is more important than justice. If Muldoon had not acted against advice Arthur Thomas would not have been pardoned.
    
    If National did some internal polling and found out the treatment of Vicky Letele would cost National at the polls heavily Key would act.
    
    The National government was happy to pay $900k to David Bain and ignore proper process just for votes.

      Chuck, you criticise VicParking for putting process before justice and then condemn the government for ignoring proper process. You cant have it both ways – except if the only assessment criteria that you apply is that no matter what, the government must be wrong!
      
      Incidentally, what is the proper process for a situation where you have determined that there is no basis for making an ex gratia payment by way of compensation but, to avoid litigation and put a matter to bed you negotiate a settlement?

        Why did the so called justice system not bring justice to Pora a lot earlier. Why do they not prosecute Rewa.
        
        John Key is driven by polling. He is totally devoid of ethics.

  People are quick to claim all sorts of bullshit and the MSM just repeats it with no fact checking.
  
  These days the MSM are quick to report emotionally charged unsubstantiated claims. By now your bullshit detector should start flashing.
  
  This claim might be perfectly legitimate, but after the MSM have cried wolf so much, one can be forgiven for distrusting them.

    The fact is most of you John Key sycophants are racist against Maori and Pacific Islanders and do not give a rats ass about corruption. We have judges giving permanent name suppression to paedophiles, child abuses and sexual offenders to protect the National Party. I am glad to see David Seymour is a least consistent and I think is opposed to corruption.

NEW ZEALAND ENVIRONMENT

Hottest year yet could mean agriculture suffers

This year is set to be New Zealand’s hottest on record.

” A National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) spokesperson says temperatures for the first 10 months of this year have been one degree warmer than the average, with November and December likely to follow suit.

Victoria University of Wellington physical geography professor and former NIWA principal scientist James Renwick said one degree may not sound substantial but it could have considerable effects.

Dr Renwick said a hotter summer could spell disaster for drought-prone areas and the agricultural sector is likely to feel the effects of warmer temperatures the most…”

Is it a coincidence that many climate change deniers also happen to be Trumpists ?

      I know you deliberately miss the point all the time Stephie – but the whole debate about ~~Global Warming~~ (I keep on forgetting that now that there is no global warming the loony greenies have no re-badged their religion) Climate Change is about the anthropomorphic aspect of it.
      
      The climate has always changed. It is the inanity of belief that man can influence it significantly that is at issue – particularly given that there is asymmetry of research going on.
      
      Research funding into proving the myth of anthropomorphic CC is in the hundreds of billions. Any research proposal seeking to disprove the flimsy theories (ie applying the scientific method) is denied funding and the researchers excommunicated as ‘deniers’.
      
      We all have to remember that Christopher Columbus was a ‘Flat Earth’ denier according to the best minds on the planet at the time. Our science re CC is about the same level of sophistication as the 15th Century Flat Earthers.
      
      The confirmation bias on the subject over-whelming. And the conflict of interest for a 3rd rate institute like NIWA is similarly over-whelming. It has never been so easy for them to get funding for their peculiar form of welfare for homeless academics.

      Stephie:
      
      Furst off I am a scientist. I have post grad degree in science, so I generally understand how science should be conducted.
      
      I have had two interactions with NIWA and in both of those, NIWA’s scientific method was very dodgy (to be polite).
      
      1) Request for tidal data. I requested their raw tidal data to try replicate some of their “the world is going to be flooded in X years” predictions. They refused to hand it out. They would only hand over “corrected” data. I then asked for the methodology they used to “correct” the data. They would not give that out. Shit science.
      
      2) Sediment research on Selwyn River: I was fishing on the Selwyn River and NIWA science crew turned up to take a whole lot of measurements of gravel sizes etc. I asked them about what they were doing and what they hoped to find out. They wanted to determine how agriculture was impacting on the sediments in the river by measuring them, then coming back a few months later and measuring again.
      
      I told them their methodology was flawed because they were talking samples from a very unstable part of the river bed. Only a month ago the river had been in spate and all the gravels had been moved. They would not get an apples-to-apples comparison. That didn’t seem to bother them. Bad science.

        That’s probably because you are an ignorant idiot who has no idea that the data has been ‘homogenised’ aka adjusted and that the margin of error in the Stevenson Screens they use is so large that the measurements are largely pointless.
        Which is why in the US they are being replaced.
        But hey, you continue to go ‘Baaaa’ like the sheep you are.

      according to this information, wheat grows best in temperate regions such as Northern areas of India like the Punjab with moderate or low rainfall
      
      Yes, I know that many wheat varieties grow very well in temperate climes. (you do remember that I know one or two things about plants, don’t you?)
      
      but: 1. Even in the tropics there are locations (high elevation plateaus) where temperate varieties of wheat grow well,
      and
      2 There are strains/varieties of wheat that grow well in warm climate zones

  That’s right stephie. All pussy grabbers deny climate change. How can that be a coincidence? Your empirical evidence supporting that claim will follow – won’t it?

THE MISLEADING MYTH OF VOTER FRAUD IN AMERICAN ELECTIONS

“Are fraudulent voters undermining U.S. elections? The simple answer is no. Rather, the threat comes from the myth of voter fraud used to justify rules that restrict full and equal voting rights.

A concerted partisan campaign to erect more restrictive voting rules is apace in many states, with Republicans pushing new limits on access and Democrats objecting. Thousands of changes to state election codes have been proposed since the contested presidential election of 2000. Far fewer have been signed into law, but those put in place – such as rules that people have a certain kind of photo identification card available from specific government offices – are making it more difficult for many citizens to cast ballots, including longtime voters as well as new ones.

In a democracy, reducing access to the ballot is difficult to justify. Political motives and strategies to discourage voting by particular groups such as racial minorities cannot be openly announced. That’s where the myth of criminal voters comes in – as proponents of new rules cite the supposed threat of votes fraudulently cast by foreigners, noncitizens, immigrants, felons, and imposters who supposedly travel around to vote in many precincts. Mythical threats that stoke social prejudices are used to make new restrictions seem reasonable….”

  stephie, I cannot see what is wrong with requesting I.D when someone casts a vote so that they can prove who they are. Democrats try to make out that it is racist because, for some reason, blacks might find it harder to get some sort of I.D. This is clearly bullshit.
  
  Someone did a video recently on this exact subject.
  
  He went around asking people on a white college whether they thought voter I.D laws were racist, and they all said yes, yes, because black people find it hard to get I.D. He then went to a black area and asked how many of them had an I.D and they all did and questioned as to why white people thought it would be hard for them to get one. “Why would they say that?”.
  
  Now, which group was racist?
  
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrBxZGWCdgs
  
  The real reason that Democrats hate I.D laws is that it makes it harder for them to cheat.

    Your point sounds reasonable, except for there being no evidence that ID laws reduce voter fraud, which is largely mythical.
    When you take that into account with the methods that are also used – making it more difficult to get the ID, etc – it becomes clear that these restrictions are simply aimed to suppress voting.

      mm, as the video states – it is not hard to get an I.D. The black people he talks to in the second half of the video all have I.D. He asks one woman, ‘is there any adult you know who doesn’t have an I.D”, and she says no. All of them say they’d have no problem showing I.D when they vote.
      
      Listen to the explanations the white college people give in the first half of the video – oh it’s too hard for black people because they might not have internet access, or might not know how to use the internet, or might not know where the DMV is. That is real racism – making out the black people are too dumb to be able to get I.D hence it is racist to have to have one to vote.
      
      I doubt there is any adult in New Zealand who doesn’t have some form of I.D – either a driving license or an 18+ card.
      
      As I said, Democrats hate voter I.D laws because it discourages people voting multiple times, and stops illegals voting.

        Except, as I said, that there is no evidence of voter fraud, so no need to impose stringent ID checks, etc.
        Do you think ID should be required in NZ elections, for example, where this isn’t even an issue?
        Fortunately, some US voters are having their right to vote protected by the courts:

        Fletch , your video is comprehensively debunked here where Trump made the false claim that 1.8 million deceased are still registered to vote ,
        
        Trump’s bogus voter fraud claims ,
        
        “…Trump accurately quoted from the report, “Inaccurate, Costly and Inefficient: Evidence That America’s Voter Registration System Needs and Upgrade.” But the report did not allege the 1.8 million deceased people actually voted. Rather, Pew said that it is evidence of the need to upgrade voter registration systems.
        In fact, researchers say voter fraud involving ballots cast on behalf of deceased voters is rare.
        “This issue of dead people voting is just not substantiated,” said Lorraine Minnite, a professor at Rutgers University and author of “The Myth of Voter Fraud…”

        Some states adopted overly strict laws on the type of ID required – the deliberate aim being to make it difficult for certain classes of people to vote. Same as the ‘literacy’ tests some states adopted in the 1950’s-1960’s. There were several tests – whites were given an easy test and blacks a hard test.

“Where was the haka for kids in Aleppo being bombed by the Russians?”
Josie Pagani was, yet again, embarrassingly inept on a dire edition of The Panel
RNZ National, Wednesday 2 November 2016
Jim Mora, Stephen Franks, Josie Pagani, Zara Potts

Outside of ACT Party cocktail gatherings or Sensible Sentencing klaverns, it’s rare that someone, anywhere, would be so crazed and/or so ill-informed that the S.S. “legal counsel”, Sheriff Joe Arpaio fan and former ACT MP Stephen Franks looks sane and sensible in comparison. But that’s just what poor old Josie Pagani managed to achieve on Wednesday afternoon. The always consistent Franks was up to his usual shenanigans, i.e., long-winded, sententious, swingeing attacks on any persons or institutions he disagrees with. Pagani, a useful idiot if ever there was one—Cameron Slater calls her “my punching bag”—played the role of patsy, endorsing nearly everything Franks said.

There was one area of major disagreement, however: Pagani wants to increase the level of bloodshed and mayhem in Syria, while Franks believes the United States, and its vassals and proxies, must stop supporting ISIS and Al Qaeda, AKA Al Nusra Front, AKA “the rebel groups”. It is an indictment of Josie Pagani’s naïveté, her lack of smarts, that she comes on National Radio and presents as considerably less rational and less humane than an S.S. operative and former ACT MP. But, even more, it is an indictment of the Labour Party that Pagani plays any part in its policy formulation on ANY topic.

So this edition of The Panel, more than normally, was a farrago of frabjous, footling, fatuous foolishness. Sensitive readers are warned that the following contains several instances of mad ranting, brutal lying and maddening imbecility….

Jazzy musical intro….

JIM MORA: [breezily] On the day when Auckland’s Sky Path across the Harbour Bridge gets consent from the Environment Court, we welcome two ELEVATED panelists! The lawyer and former MP Stephen Franks, and someone who COULD’VE been an MP—-

JOSIE PAGANI: [winsome snicker] He he.

JIM MORA: —-but is now instead the director of the Council for International Development, the umbrella organization that represents New Zealand NGOs like World Vision, Save the Children, Oxfam, and so on, Josie Pagani. Hullo Josie, hullo Stephen.

JOSIE PAGANI: Hul-LO!

STEPHEN FRANKS: Good afternoon.

Brief introductory pleasantries follow, then it’s down to the, er, “serious” stuff….

        It’s actually more of a vocation than a hobby. It started in earnest in late 1999, as I listened, astounded, to the abysmal ignorance and bad sportsmanship that filled the airwaves after France outclassed the All Blacks in the RWC semifinal.
        
        I scribbled a lot of transcripts down at the time, and recorded on my old BASF tapes quite a lot of the bile being spewed by the likes of Doug Golightly, Martin “Moron” Devlin and Murray Deaker. A lot of it is still “resting” on the pages of old exercise books, and occasionally I type some of it up and put it online.
        
        In the beginning, I transcribed mostly the inane, vicious, mean-spirited and ignorant conversations I monitored on Radio Sport, occasionally transcribing stuff from Larry Williams, Leighton Smith and Paul Holmes on NewstalkZB, and more substantial but equally flawed conversations from (mainly) National Radio.
        
        I also spent a lot of time transcribing some of the startling and disturbing comments by NewstalkZB hosts that followed the killing of Pihema Cameron in 2008, and the Tony Veitch attack on his partner about the same time.
        
        I got into transcribing Mora’s ridiculous vanity vehicle as early as 2005, and started posting up my rush transcripts (some of my frenemies at The Standard call them transcrapts) a few years later.
        
        So why transcribe them?
        
        Because I was determined that I would not let these conversations, many of them simply terrible and awful beyond bearing, almost, simply disappear into the ether.

  As with a lot of these things, I suspect that had the cyclists caught up to Max Key at a traffic light and ‘debated’ with him about his choice of words, the outcome may have been slightly different.
  
  I appreciate that Max Key isn’t his father, but like it or not, he’s in the public eye. I don’t think that shouting things like this reflect on his Dad, I just think that it provides a wider audience of people who think that Max can act like a prat at times.
  
  If one of the cyclists had lamped him, would I really have any sympathy?…

9.51 into the game and the NZ team are already assured of the win due to corrupt refereeing. First NZ try was a blatant knock on, then one of the NZ thugs only received a yellow card when the rules say it should have been a red card. Even when the Irish scored an obvious try the match officials tried very hard to find a way of not awarding it.

– talking about all the tactics to get voters in including each volunteer doing mass text outs to all registered voters. They have an app that can send out 100 texts at a time and then they start discussions with whoever responds

Acquaintance of mine and his friend were mugged in small hours of Saturday morning and had wallets and passports taken under threats. They waved down a taxi to call the police. There were about five offenders. They contacted banks quickly but not before my acquaintance’s card was pay-waved a couple of times at convenience stores. Hope the stores have cameras. They had passports for pub ID – moral here – get HANZ cards and leave passports at home. It is sickening. Hope police get them and they get a ‘strike’ warning (this is a ‘strike’ crime). However if it is a second ‘strike’ warning it will be all over the media and do-gooders claiming that future ‘third strike’ consequences are not fair and it was due to ‘poverty’ etc etc.

    Yes it is. It was aggravated robbery s235 Crimes Act as there was violence or threat of violence and more than one person was involved (or other criteria met). ‘Ordinary’ robbery (s234) is also a ‘strike’ crime, difference being no aggravating circumstances such as two people involved, etc.
    Remember all the fuss when Judge Tony Adeane read the ‘second strike’ to a couple of guys for robbing someone of a skateboard and phone. All the hand-wringing – they ONLY took a phone and skateboard but the hand wringers did not accept they had ‘stood over’ their victim – it was a s235 clear as day – if they do aggravated robbery again it is the full 14 years in the slammer – that is that.

Hansen learning a lesson about team selection.

Mark Ella criticised Cheika for playing Pocock at blindside flanker – play people in their position. He picked Kaino at lock, and paired with a rookie Tuipolotu (no jumper), Ireland dominate pack wise. Read and Kaino are fine as extra jumpers but as a pair of front-line jumpers against specialist locks?

And no midfield with Moala in it looks classy moving the ball. And the loss of Crotty will not help. Cruden is still under-done for recent time in the field and behind a struggling pack.

I’ll call it it now, no come back.

Ireland may well increase their lead and win by 20.

      Not a day to be pivot when the forwards are not winning much ball or going forward enough to ease off their defensive line speed.

  All Blacks looked like they spent the week in Chicago as tourists. I saw lots of stories on the TV this week about ABs at the NBA game, at the Cubs parade etc etc. Seemed a bit of a holiday week, and Ireland are too good for that.
  
  Big ups for Schmidt though. Why oh why do we seem to have Foster as heir apparent for AB coach?

A summary of what multiple reports have repeatedly said is in the laptops. Evidence of:

pedophilia – Hillary took at least 6 and Bill at least 22 trips to Epstein’s island. Hillary is known to have a prediliction for young girls. Apparently Anonymous has a video of Bill raping a 12 yo. Sidenote: Look into Epstein. You will find he has only had one backer, a billionaire, who funded him into his investment company and is its only client. Epstein’s places were wired for CCTV. He was likely running a honeypot op for guess who: Mossad. One of the reasons Israel is so successful in its lobbying.

Killary had SAP (Special Access Programs) on her server. These are amongst the most highly classified tightly guarded secrets in the US. Accessing SAP data requires physically visiting a secured facility. They are never put on the web. Obviously they are supposed to remain on site. The guess based on revelations so far is she was selling them to nation states for money. They contain things like agents names.

Pay to play. Multiple examples of donations to Clinton Foundation yielding appointments to various bodies under Clinton’s grace and favour. One interesting example amongst many is where she appointed someone completely unqualified to a nuclear oversight commission which resulted not just in a complaint from the committee about her appointee’s lack of relevant skill but that uranium deal to Russia.

Donations from isis funders. Multiple donations from Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Admission of isis funders/suppliers. Email that states ISIS is funded and supplied by Qatar and Saudi Arabia and subsequent arrangement of large US arms shipments to said nations.

Careless use of classified material. This is a crime which doesn’t require intent which interestingly is the basis Comey used to let her go in July.

$1.8b to Qatar which has no extradiction treaty. Unsubstantiated report I’ve read which states the Foundation made that transfer about 3 weeks ago now. Makes sense. She’s going to prison. It’s either a fake death, a pardon which ain’t going to happen, a real death, an escape to Qatar or prison.

Anyway, hope that helps. And again, the media missed all of this, for decades. Or did they.

      All on Red ,
      
      from my link,
      
      !. Trump himself has said that Epstein is “a lot of fun to be with,” adding that he admired the sex offender’s affinity for beautiful women “on the younger side.”
      
      “I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump once said about the convicted sex offender. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
      
      2. Trump was named in Epstein’s “little black book.”
      
      Epstein’s “little black book” was stolen by a former employee in 2004. The book, nicknamed “The Holy Grail” by the employee, revealed the name of Donald Trump and listed “14 phone numbers including emergency numbers, car numbers, and numbers to Trump’s security guard and houseman.”
      
      etc, etc , etc
      
      And Trump has very carefully not raised issues about Bill Clinton’s associations with Epstein during the campaign
      
      Here’s why ,

        Your own link shows his Lawyers stating they had no association.
        ‘Trump’s attorney Alan Garten told VICE News last week that the presidential candidate had “no relationship” with Epstein, and only knew him because Epstein was a member of Mar-A-Lago, Trump’s private club and residence in Palm Beach.’
        They met at a Resort once. Wow. Also the quote he said is unsubstantiated. There is no evidence they were friends and hung out together.
        Yet Bill Clinton travelled 26 times on his jet and there are rumours that Epstein has video of Clinton having sex with minors..
        Oh and another liar against Trump has backed down.

The latest money grab from the IRD.There is no end to their rapacious grasping.
All with the apparent complicity of your favourite National Party Govt.

Inland Revenue looking to claw back tax on nearly 500,000 Kiwis’ electricity rebate

The taxman is eyeing up a big chuck of an annual rebate paid to electricity consumers.

Each year almost half a million customers – a quarter of all power consumers – receive a rebate, effectively meaning they don’t have to pay one of their power bills.

However that rebate is under threat with a top secret Inland Revenue memo revealing the department is considering taxing it at 28 per cent.

“It is the Commissioner’s initial revised view that lines companies’ payments of discounts to electricity consumers are not dductible expenses,” says the 27-page issues paper, marked “classified in confidence”.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/money/86036771/inland-revenue-looking-to-claw-back-tax-on-nearly-500000-kiwis-electricity-rebate

I think we would all be more impressed if they managed to claw back tax money from charities and oversea’s companies. Then there would be no need for this pathetic attempt to recover a small amopunt of money. One big one would yield move tax than this.

The downstream logic of this is that if you happen to give a discount to a regular customer then they will want to tax that.

  A spokesman for the department said it would not “discuss the affairs of a taxpayer, or in this case, a small group of taxpayers, which we can’t do under the secrecy provisions of the Tax Administration Act”.
  
  I think the Minister of Revenue needs to clarify the position here. If the tax dept can’t discuss the levying of tax onto hundreds of thousands of people on the grounds the power companies’ tax privacy will be violated, a wurzenflugel’s become discombobbulated and needs urgent maintenance.
  
  And it’s all over this:
  
  Customers pay a line charge as part of their power bill, with some lines company offering a rebate if they collected more than what they needed.
  
  That’s what they’re talking about, so it’s a refund of an overcharge, not a dividend, which is how they are interpreting it.
  
  “It is the Commissioner’s initial revised view that lines companies’ payments of discounts to electricity consumers are not dductible expenses,” says the 27-page issues paper…
  
  The Commissioner’s view seems prima facie wrong. How can a marketing strategy involving product pricing become a profit distribution strategy which is what they’re arguing. The recipients of the “dividend” are not even shareholders, they’re customers. Perhaps that quite escaped the Commissioner in his due consideration…
  
  Good spotting V2.

    The Commissioner is right here – the ‘rebate’ money is effectively a dividend to the consumer trust that owns (or part owns) the power company and dividends are paid from after-tax profits. Rebates such as ‘prompt payment discounts’ are a different matter since there is a sound commercial reason for them – prompt paying customers are cheaper to manage.

      But that’s not the dividend they’re talking about. This is a lines company’s rebate the power company passes on to its retail customers not its shareholders. That’s a marketing policy decision for customer retention and the rebate isn’t a dividend it’s a refund of an overcharge. If they are just paying it to shareholders the article didn’t say that but if they are then you’re right it is a dividend.

        The lines company does not give a direct rebate to the consumers, even though it may well process the rebate on behalf of the shareholding trust. The trust is under no obligation to pass the rebate to consumers, it could apply it for general civic purposes. For example ACET should be applying its dividends to the Auckland rail system and Auckland should not be receiving any taxpayers’ money until this is done.

  As you say, ignored by the MSM. Fortunately there are other sources. Evidently the Police took a rather hard line, and FWIW, the casualty list, last I heard (four hours ago) was one dead, 100 injured.
  
  Thank you.

  Yes Ireland thoroughly deserved their win. Putting curses being broken aside, there are questions over the wisdom of not playing specialist locks, or indeed anyone out of positions they are unaccustomed to. I may have read it wrong, Ireland’s defence was storming and on fire – so why not kick over the top, keep turning them round and also go back to kicking for the corners.

Russia expects Washington to provide an explanation after a report claimed that Pentagon cyber-offensive specialists have hacked into Russia’s power grids, telecommunications networks, and the Kremlin’s command systems for a possible sabotage.

“If no official reaction from the American administration follows, it would mean state cyberterrorism exists in the US. If the threats of the attack, which were published by the US media, are carried out, Moscow would be justified in charging Washington,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said, according to the ministry’s website.

    I read an earlier report that Obama and Clinton supporters were behind it. Perhaps they want to provoke a war to get them out of the present troubles. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me but then neocon thinking patterns never have any sense at all to me either. See this exposure with Clinton puts the entire Bush dynasty in major jeopardy of being exposed because it’s not just the Clinton crimw family it’s the Bush-Clinton crime family.And if you think the Clintons are bad you ain’t seen nothing yet. So with that being the case and given the entire network is run by psychopaths, is a provocation of this nature completely out of the question.
    
    Russia won’t bite of course, the idiot neocons naturally think they will but they won’t.

Will our own stephieboy make a cameo appearance?
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/05/hillary-clinton-celebrity-support-election-2016

Clinton turned to an army of her own celebrities to underline the risk that poor turnout, especially among young voters and African Americans, could easily usher in the election of a demagogue whose threat to US constitutional values is viewed as unprecedented in modern political history.

In Trump-leaning Ohio on Sunday, she was due to appear with the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball legend LeBron James, following a concert there on Friday with Jay Z and Beyoncé. The Democrats have already fielded Stevie Wonder in Philadelphia and Jennifer Lopez in Miami.

Gareth Morgan’s new political party already has more than 750 paid members – with the entrepreneur saying he has been blown away by the response.

Morgan launched the Opportunities Party (Top) on Friday, saying problems like inequality and housing affordability could be solved but not by “establishment” politicians.

He plans to gauge public reaction to his campaign before registering the party next year.

Political parties need 500 financial members to register, and that mark was surpassed by Top within 24 hours of launching.

“I’ve been really overwhelmed by the response,” Morgan wrote in a blog post today.

“I thought would take us months to get those kinds of numbers, particularly given I haven’t released any policy yet!”

  Personally I am more interested in his policies around pussies.
  Is he planning on banning pussy in New Zealand or is he only going to allow pussy with restrictions such as it must be home in bed by 8pm.
  This issue could be the defining one for his new party?

The cost of Clinton:
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/clinton-amnesty-tax-15000-per-household-1.2-trillion/article/2606575

Amnesty for illegal immigrants like a program proposed by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton would require an immediate tax hike of $1.2 trillion, a $15,000 hit on every household in America, according to a new analysis of immigration reform.

The only way they can stop him now…

There were signs of a struggle in the crowd as three agents led Trump away, shielding his body, but once a suspect was led away Trump resumed his speech.

The candidate appeared unrattled by the scuffle, and spoke with his usual self-confidence as his speech continued.

A CNN reporter at the venue cited unnamed local law enforcement sources as saying there had been a report of a gun in the crowd and a suspect in custody.

“We will never be stopped,” Trump said.

This is shaping up to be an epic week on Kiwiblog.

The big question: will the US election results thread break the all-time Kiwiblog record (a Bain thread of about 3.200 comments from memory)?

There seem to be 3 groups of Kiwibloggers:

– Clintonistas (represented by Stephieboy and Scott Chris)
– Trumpkins (represented by Deadrightkev and Scott)
– the “neither” camp (taking nominations for representatives – perhaps Mikenmild and Reid?).

Tom Hunter: If you’re around and reading this, perhaps you could organise bets for those Kiwibloggers who’re convinced that there’s easy money to be made on the US election outcome?

  Ha!!!
  Not a chance. I’ll be having enough difficulties arranging payment to Fentex (I bet $100 that the GOP nominee – no matter who it was – would win).
  
  Beside that, I’m still floating because…
  … THE CUBS ARE THE 2016 WORLD SERIES WINNERS.
  
  … and I do not want to descend into the muck!
  
  And after another disruptive Sunday I’ve only just finished watching Ireland break a 111 year old “curse” (though I never heard of such). What a fantastic result for them. They really got stuck into the AB’s from start to finish and deserved the win. It may sound strange for an AB backer to say this but I began to get a bit nervous for the Irish about midway through the 2nd half as the AB’s charged back to within 4 points. I could not believe that Ireland would blow it again after the 2013 heartbreaker. Surely they would not let it get away from them this time – and they did not.
  
  The AB’s played well at times (4 tries is nothing to sneeze at), but the Irish played better most of the time, on both attack and defence, but especially the latter.
  
  S0….. In the space of one week, the great city of Chi-Town has seen at the centre of the breaking of two great sporting droughts. Amazing.
  
  Is this the apocalypse?

  And looking further up-thread: what the fuck is wrong with Big Bruv? Is this a result of listening to moronic All Black fans on Twitter or Facebook or Sports Talk? Why in the name of god would you allow yourself to get riled up by people like that.
  
  Get.
  A.
  Grip.
  
  Still floating though, still floating… Golden armour against hurtful or depressing things…
  
  Which brings me back to the election and the question some are asking: do the Cubs and Irish victories presage a Trump triumph?
  
  Well of course the argument is that these are omens of victory against the odds.
  
  The trouble with that is that the Cubs had been the overwhelming favourites to win the WS since Spring Training! They remained so through 103 wins, and the post-season. And the reason was they had strengths in virtually every area. It was the Indians that more closely resemble Trump: obvious weaknesses papered over pretty well, but ultimately ripping apart. They too got close – but no cigar, and for precisely the reasons of comparative strengths and the depth of them; the Cubs had such, the Indians did not.
  
  Same with Hillary vs Trump.
  
  As for the Irish rugby team? They did what almost all winning teams do: covered their weaknesses, exploited their strengths and executed the game plan to perfection.
  
  Does anybody – aside from slobbering worshippers like deadrightkev and thicko, Simon – want to argue that Trump has done the same?

A young couple were married, and celebrated their first night together, doing what newlyweds do, time and time again, all night long. Morning comes and the groom goes into the bathroom but finds no towel when he emerges from the shower.
He asks the bride to please bring one from the bedroom.
When she gets to the bathroom door, he opened the door, exposing his body for the first time to his bride where she sees all of him well. Her eyes went up and down and at about midway, they stopped and stared, and she asked shyly, “What’s that?”, pointing to a small part of his anatomy.
He, also being shy, thought for a minute and then said, “Well, that’s what we had so much fun with last night.”
She, in amazement, asked, “Is that all we have left?”

”Until this month, WikiLeaks and Anonymous have worked together building an efficient, detailed, comprehensive set of documents that would be responsible for the incarceration of Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, and 21 individuals ranging from the DNC, FBI, CIA, and Clinton Foundation.

”These documents will show without a doubt, the evidence of treason, obstruction of justice, election fraud manipulation, and bribery.

“This was intended to be the October surprise. But before the release of these documents, we were contacted by a member of the FBI, as well as another from the CIA, and a week later by the NYPD. All with information pertaining to something much darker than even we imagine. Due to the nature of these leaks, we all work together as efficiently as possible to ensure two objectives: 1. That all necessary information would be given to the public in an organized, searchable, manageable way. 2. Those who provided us with this information would be able to find safety before these releases were made (this concern wasn’t without warrant).

The new leaks being released this week will provide documents in the form of emails pictures and videos. Within these will be evidence of Bill Clinton, as well as, at least, six other government officials, taking part in sexual acts with minors. As well as evidence of human trafficking that also included minors. We believe these pictures and videos were taken for the purpose of political manipulation in order to make sure all participants followed through on a previously agreed agenda.

These documents were given to us by an American government official when he had come to learn that this crime had been covered up by Hillary and her staff through methods including bribery and blackmail. He also told us that due to the restricted access of these documents they would soon know he was the one who released them to us. We were trying to make arrangements for him to exit the country safely, but he was killed before those arrangements could be carried out…

Obama just conspired to commit major voter fraud by encouraging illegals to vote. Please share! Share! Share! We must expose this!

http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=47397

From The Hill:
Hillary Clinton has dropped below 270 electoral votes in CNN’s electoral map when adding up the states that are either solidly Democratic or leaning in her direction.

The projection gives Clinton 268 electoral votes when using this measure, according to the latest snapshot of CNN’s “Road to 270” map.

Just might be all downhill for Hillary.

  Viking , whoa there for a mo ,”
  
  The Obama Administration is “fighting in court” to allow non-citizens to vote in general elections.”
  
  Largely false !WHAT’S TRUE: The League of Women Voters (along with the NAACP and other parties) filed for injunctive relief against the Election Assistance Commission on 12 February 2016 due to unilaterally imposed voter registration restrictions requiring “documentary proof” of American citizenship; current law prohibits non-citizens from registering to vote or voting under penalty of perjury.
  WHAT’S FALSE: The Obama Administration or Justice Department initiated the suit; the Election Assistance Commission’s actions
  
  would enable non-citizens to legally vote in 2016 primaries and the general election; any parties are advocating for the right of non-citizens to vote in primary or general elections.
  
  WHAT’S UNDETERMINED: The ultimate outcome of a 9 March 2016 hearing on the suit’s merits.
  
  http://www.snopes.com/obama-non-citizens-vote/
  
  And the Electoral college vote could;d be equally fatal for Trump

      But nowhere, not even in the Book of Bullshit (aka the Bible), are non Muslims instructed by their religious leaders to bash the shit out of their women.
      
      ““Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and forsake them in beds apart, and beat them.” Quran 4:34”

    You’ll get yourself tired & smelly dragging red herrings all over the internet Stephieboy. You implied that domestic violence occurs universally. I agree but hold that only in the barbaric Muslim version of hoodoo is there a clear instruction to give your missus the bash.
    
    Forget Titus or Timothy & their social advice. Tell us where in the Bible it is held that women shall be beaten or withdraw gracefully from the discussion.

Early voting in the US elections is at c40M – around 1/3rd of voters. 56% of the votes are by women. And the turnout is highest by baby boomers (and those even older).

Clinton has a clear lead nationwide.

It ended on Saturday. The next opportunity to vote is on Tuesday.

The Republicans are behind in Florida, Nevada and North Carolina at this point. But this reflects the better Democrat organisation to get the early vote out. How many of the Gen X and millenials will vote?

The odds are currently on a Clinton win, but a surprising failure to win the Senate – with the most likely result R 51-Dem 49 (a majority to convict or obstruct), with the best possible result seeming to be 50-50 with VP Kaine providing the deciding vote (if all Dems are on board).

There are major CNN and NBC polls out tomorrow.

In respect of MM;s recent video footage concerning the consequences for the USA should the plebs not see sense and vote for Hilary, it is worth recalling that El Preseidente has stated publicly that he will not leave his office and surrender the Presidency should Mr Trump win. indeed, he went so far as to say that he would barricade himself and his family in the Oval office should that be the result. I suspect that members of the security services would take great delight in assisting in his removal…

We will see.

Agenda 21

is the tail wagging the dog
Its implementation in Australia
through naive but well intentioned people
has been an economic disaster

I have read it it is crap

People do not have the common sense to use common sense any more

in the lucky country
that is so Lucky to have bush fires floods
and massive storms in one season

The real danger I see with it is this

People stop thinking for themselves

Pauline Hanson would be the only Australian Politician who accepts you stephie what ever your
race religion

http://www.onenation.com.au/policies/agenda21

Another arm of Agenda 21, is to privatise water. A farmer can only capture 10 % of the water in his dam, the rest must flow to the rivers and creeks, or be taxed. South Australia are just starting to feel the effects of Agenda 21, with the state government trialing low flow by-passes on dams, at an estimated cost of up to $30,000, this is to stop water running into dams. A water licence must be bought for irrigation from your own dam and also a right to take water levy, whether you use it or not, has been introduced by the government, and supported by the opposition.

These policies are putting people out of business
intentionally so they have to sell to foreign
communist pretend businesses

Not every where has a benign climate like NZ stephie

Awesome a licence to use water from a dam you paid for

That will save the planet

I don’t mind that the ABs lost. It’s the way they lost.
Letting in 40 points. Scoring a few too – but who cares.
They let in 40 points. It’s not the first time.
They let in 40 points. They’ve won last two RWCs – won last 18 in a row. Long endless season.
They let in 40 points. 40 Irish points.
That’s a bit shit. 40 northern hemisphere points.
I see the Welsh put 40 on the Aussies – in Wales.
Oh wait – that didn’t happen.
What was that about ? Good for promoting the game in the US ?
Burnt out ? Bored ? Off day ?
How is it possible to go straight from your own international season to an end of year tour ?

I read the comment about why not kick for turf etc
No. Because that purist shit isn’t ‘good for the game’. Promoting the game in the States. They could’ve turned Grant Fox styles. Probably wouldn’t have taken a forty point rodgering – that’s okay, it was for the ‘greater good’. Don’t want a ‘boring game’ on show. For that game – think more WWE pro wrestling. Funny how it’s the game in the States that ABs bend over for forty points eh ? Just a coinkydink.
Trying to crack US market. Good luck with that.
What kind of numbers – *really* – do they hope to ever get out of America ? Keep trying *groan*.

I can’t wait for another forty Irish points – Hansen – I wouldn’t let that happen mate, you’re not the one and only option at the helm – keep that in mind.
