American Physical Society
[2007] The evidence is incontrovertible: Global warming is occurring. If no mitigating actions are taken, significant disruptions in the Earth’s physical and ecological systems, social systems, security and human health are likely to occur. We must reduce emissions of greenhouse gases beginning now.

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/nov/09/the-climate-has-changed-before-but-this-is-different-look-at-the-archeological-record
[2017] The United States government published the Climate Science Special Report authored by 13 federal agencies, which states unequivocally that climate change is occurring and it is caused by human actions. The Trump Administration responded to the report by stating: “The climate has changed and is always changing.”

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/nov/09/bonn-climate-change-talks-us-two-tribes
[2017] The counter-Trump movement in Bonn is spearheaded by Jerry Brown, governor of California, and Michael Bloomberg, billionaire former mayor of New York. A coalition of 14 US states, including California and New York, are on track to meet the US target of a 26-28% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2025, compared to 2005 levels. The goal was set by Barack Obama as part of the Paris agreement between 195 nations to avoid dangerous global warming of more than 2C.

There was an old pussy called Trump
Who tweeted while having a dump
He moderated his tone
While on the throne
Then it was all hands to the pump

  Surprising to hear the normally surefooted Rodney Hide holding hands with Trump in this antiscience extravaganza. Focus on rate of change to understand that naked apes are achieving the seemingly impossible, turning ice into water to walk on.

Seems Cindy and co were out to have a signing ceremony without making sure everybody was ready to sign up. And now it is all left for some future date.

  Has not gone down well in Canada, Trudeau sabotaging the TPP.Rumour there he pulled out because there were not enough trangenders or retired Canadian Taleban terrorists in the agreement.

    This could be very interesting. Hopefully it will be resolved and signed, but if not, Labour will have the worst of both worlds. No deal and having to explain to its supporters why it was willing to sell out.

      On the contrary, this is a stroke of good fortune. To opponents of TPP, they can say that they secured amazing concessions, without having to explain what they are because of negotiating conventions. To supporters of TPP, it’s very unfortunate but not Jacinda’s fault that it didn’t happen. Irritating, but luck has to fall to others sometimes

        Not only that happychappy but he showed the normal socialist negativity with this gem: “over the last 10 years of the last Government exports went down as a proportion of the economy. That proves free trade agreements aren’t the be-all and end-all for exports.”
        Forgetting what they said for so long so often that NZ needed to diversify and build up industry to reduce export dependency. That is what has been happening for the last 9 years while they were lounging around in opposition. Scary stuff coming from our Minister of Trade.

  Jacindia will come back in a glow of sucess. ‘We achieved everything we wanted in the agreement but because of Canada…….’. We wont know if we achieved anything and what we had to give up because it will be all secret. The MSM however will fawn all over her, ‘great statesperson’, ‘world leader’, ‘tough negotiator’……

    Ardern will also come back reeking of the designer luxury perfume that she bought while shopping with her new bestie Jan Trottman (the pissed pygmy’s current missus) in the duty-free store. The Labour plebs who voted her in won’t be able to afford it, and the Green party numpties will hate her using and supporting Chanel (with its dodgy animal testing practices), but what the hell – she’s the boss now, she’ll “refuse to accept” that it is a problem.

    It is an omnishambles for Labour and the media accompanying them.
    Apparently the final days meeting saw Ardern preening herself for the various media photos, and no one noticed Canada wasn’t there. Kind of hard to miss you’d think.
    Then the premature announcement that we had gained some relief but the evil Nats had not given them enough time to fully display their negotiation skills.
    Well, unless there is a last minute reprieve, they will have plenty of time to own the final agreement.
    But beneath all the spin they know NZ needs this agreement, with or without the irrelevant Dispute mechanisms.

    Yep, just looked at Stuff – there are several articles all positively reporting on Jacinda and the TPPA!
    
    (Jacinda is already spinning it that they were getting what they wanted in terms if ISDS clawbacks – yeah right, as if – another Jacinda lie in the making)?
    
    Which is kind of strange because if it were say John Key or Bill English at APEC and Canada did their TPPA no show, the media certainly wouldn’t be spinning how good it was for these two – instead the media would be highlighting they achieved absolutely nothing at the end!
    
    What’s even stranger is none of those Fairfax articles are allowing comments! The MSM really don’t want Kiwi’s to rain on Jacinda’s parade by pointing out ultimately her failure there to achieve anything in terms of trade advantages for NZ Inc (which also means less revenue potential for the COL Govt coffers by way of taxes to pay for their massive spending plans)!

  Strange hullkiwi when we consider that there is some changes in store for the NAFTA as well as MAGA about to change the business tax structure. Things are about to change closer to home for Canada.
  It might also indicate we all fell into a Media party trap in their haste to make the Commie Chick look good as the glitter fades.

So we have a honeymoon / baseline poll and lots of folk are happy. From the Horizon website –

Nearly twice as many New Zealanders are feeling positive rather than negative about the effect the new Labour-led government will have on them personally.

A Horizon Research survey of 1,068 adults nationwide between October 24 and November 1, 2017, finds overall that

49% say the new government will positively affect them personally in the next three years
24% say it will affect them negatively
28% say the affect will be neither positive nor negative.
The numbers do not vary by gender.

    Only to a few hard right people.

    The media was never adoring as a whole. It was natural that there would be a lot of “excitement” articles when Jacinda Ardern took over and Labour finally had a leader with personality and energy, and especially when the parties polls started to rise, but during the election weeks there were also articles that were questioning or critical. And since the election, nothing on that score has changed. The media is not as biased as political tribalists on the right and left like to think. Much of what they perceive as bias is their own confirmation bias at work.

    Includes tenants of private landlords. Labour will drive these landlords out in their quest to try and lower house prices (which without building new houses will be like Canute trying to hold the sea back). So where will the tenants go?
    USA cities (who have more power in this regard than NZ cities) have sought to preserve rental housing stock by forbidding rental apartments being turned into condos (unit titles in our lingo).

      Yes peterwn. Even before the first affordable home is built the housing market is slipping as the worm turns. Buyers are getting scarce and next we will hear those renting told to make the most of what they have an private rentals disappear. The Fool Factor yet again.

      stigie : It is good that newsroom have published the article from Pete George concerning Stephen Joyce’s questions to the Labour Finance in thursday Parliamentry Question time where Grant Robertson could not come up with with any answer to say that Steven Joyce is wrong in fact he could not deny that what he was being asked was wrong. All the questions are there to be seen for those that have not seen it.

  First question, who commissioned this silly piece of research?
  
  Second, what was the sample group and how was the survey conducted?
  
  Given the duplicitous one has told us the economy is going to crash, how are people going to be positively affected by the new government?
  
  It smacks of more dubious spin in a week of bad spin.

        And I appreciate that “advise” very much, my friend. After fulsomely praising oneself as one did in that little jab at one’s old buddy Liberty, it is salutary to be brought back down to earth, yet again, by a scholar and gentleman such as the inestimable Kimbo.

Big 24 hours for NZ sport, all controversial decisions available on video replays unlike backroom politics and deliberate leaks. Sport has moved on and politics is left where it can be manipulated.

  Video replays are the death of sport. The sight of rugby referees forming a TV screen with their hands after nearly every try is one of the most pathetic sights in all of sport.
  
  I recommend you watch a game of American football on Sky this weekend to see it taken to its absurd extreme—the announcers proudly announce throughout that “every scoring play is reviewed!” in “the bunker” in New York.

    I see a couple of people don’t like my criticism of sports being slowed down by video deliberations. Guess they’re the sorts of “fan” who think basketball games being stopped every few seconds by coach’s timeouts is enthralling rather than frustrating….

        You may well be correct, softail 1450—but how do you deduce that from my opposition to sports being ruined by overbearing and spurious technology?
        
        It’s worth considering that my misgivings about this are shared by many American sports fans as well….

Any word yet on how much of her whopping $500k a year Jacinda ‘Capitalism has Failed’ Ardern is giving to those poor,starving kids yet??
After wagging her horrible,bony finger at and preaching to us all on the evils of Money,Capitalism and White Privilege if she doesn’t give most of that salary away she is a fucking hypocrite…

  But yesterday we were treated to her invoking the climate change thingy as the biggest thingy facing humanity.
  
  I wonder what the starving millions in Somalia , Yemen , Syria etc make of that.
  
  Me , the biggest threat facing humanity is selfish agenda driven politicians creating crises for their own benefit be they war , famine , corruption, migration or poverdy in Aotearoa.

    I have spent much time snorting with derision at all the News about our “beloved” [ and lots more inappropriate adjectives] PM and the embarrassing things she is reported to have said.
    Just considering the other countries in the TPP and their populations – her importance and relevance might be kept in proportion if considering a few facts. eg NZ’s population compared to that of other members.
    Mexico 129 million
    Japan 128 million
    Vietnam 96 million
    NZ nearly 5 million!!
    Having been our Prime Minister for just 3 -4 weeks [and probably still suffering from the untimely death of her cat], I am sure every time she opens her mouth everyone listens intently and just soaks up every word she says – accompanied by lol!!

  I heard most of her speeches and read or saw most of her interviews. I never heard her say anything against money or mention white privilege, and the one interview where she said capitalism had failed only in some specific areas was misreported and has become a kind of urban myth on Kiwiblog. The Jacinda Ardern that exists in your mind and the one walking around in the real world don’t seem to be the same person.

A classic example of how the MSM has lost credibility. Last night the NZ Herald bannered a piece on APEC as follows:
WORLD
Trump attacks China at Apec
• 10 Nov, 2017 8:11pm
• Quick Read
Trump says US has been “taken advantage of” by China in trade.
……
The problem with that is that he didn’t attack China.
He actually attacked previous US administrations, saying that he recognised that every country, China included, had to act in its own best interests. The US had allowed a situation to develop where concessions available in the USA were not reciprocated in other countries. Trump went on to detail the new US attitude to trade – if the US permitted free entry by other nations, those nations would be expected to allow free entry to US manufacturers etc. There would be no special duties, or compulsory joint ventures, or other devices would be permitted. It would be trade from USA to X, and from nation X to the USA. Intellectual property would be protected, and subsidised production would not be eligible …and do on. The US would, he said, do this via bilateral trade agreements that set equal terms for both parties.

Certainly a hard-nosed policy, and Trump foreshadowed the protection of US interests, but not what the Herald bannered.

  Agreed. I choked in my greul and stale bread as I saw that fake news in the newspaper I use to keep warm. The little homeless boy beside me said dont cry Jancinda is coming to save us. From what I have read Trump has done well in China. Talked hard when needed, been passive when needed, quite the diplomat.

  Thanks for that, istricky. From the link, and with emphasis:
  
  Use of “function words” – pronouns and adjectives – soars.
  
  But stressed subjects were also much less likely to use third-person plural pronouns – such as ‘they’, ‘their’ and ‘them’.
  
  The researchers say this could be because people under pressure tend to focus more on themselves instead of those around them.
  
  They also simply tended to speak less.
  
  Study author Matthias Mehl told Nature we choose ‘meaning words’ (nouns and verbs) consciously when we speak. But when it comes to function words, these are often inserted subconsciously.
  
  Such words “are produced more automatically and they betray a bit more about what’s going on with the speaker“, he says.
  
  So they act as “emotional intensifiers” … reflecting a speaker’s state of arousal. Even if they don’t realise it themselves.
  
  Bingo!! I’m assuming, that like adjectives, adverbs, especially emphatic adverbs are function words. Yes, sometimes I rabbit on about Kimbo’s law*, sometimes for a lark, but the point is valid, and is supported by this analysis. The user is emotionally agitated because the ideas that give them emotional comfort and security have been called into question, hence they over-compensate when stating those beliefs by rolling them in the rhetorical turd glitter of “obviously”, “absolutely”, “definitely”, and “undoubtedly”. If your precious belief is as self-evident as you think, it shouldn’t need those words to make the case. Instead, you are trying to massage your own fragile emotions…and convince the gullible by an increased level of rhetorical certitude. So they are emotive words, and as per my genius of a 5th Form English teacher, one of the signs of a poor argument is resorting to emotion.
  
  * “in blogworld the validity of an argument is in inverse proportion to the use of emphatic adverbs”.

    Oh rubbish, Kimbo.
    
    Read the abstract of the paper (paper is paywalled)
    http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2017/10/31/1707373114.abstract
    
    The psycho-sociobabblers are discussing the evidence of 143 individual’s natural speech.
    
    There’s nothing to indicate the folks are engaging in debate or argument.
    Just having a chat, perhaps.
    Now, some folks talk in grunts, some are effusive, others suffer from prolix.
    But astonishingly, these researchers can ascertain a measure of “nonconciously evaluated wellbeing” by eavesdropping on their subjects.

    But, but, but, More research is needed.
    
    Why don’t you submit a proposal to the Marsden Fund to study the level of stress Kiwiblog commenters are under (based on 100000s of comments herein)?

      Plus, um, any parent of teenagers could have ~~told you~~ offered the anecdotal evidence that when they resort to pronouns – “you said”, :you promised”, “you lied” – then they are under stress. 😉

        don’t try and align me with your nutty friends.
        It’s your wealthy mate that lies down on beaches with high-powered telescopes wondering how could the ancients have got it so wrong.
        
        I don’t think the teenagers are under stress when they say “You said, You promised”… They’ve just caught Mummy & daddy telling porkies again.

        I hereby submit that suspect thesis to peer review among the perceptive minds of the Kiwiblog community, and predict that, if you posted it first thing on Kiwiblog General Debate (admittedly a difficult task these days), it would disappear in a hail of downticks. Indeed, it would make a William of Ockham, Hugh Pavletich or publicwatchdog missive look like the sales figures of J K Rowling! 😉
        
        And my friend is not nutty, just courageous enough to follow the dictates of his counter-intuitive unorthodoxies. Plus he does not lie down on beaches – he uses an elevation of 0.5 metres with his measurements. 😉

        psycho-sociobabblers is a NOUN and by the authors’ own definition is not a “function” word; it is a “meaning” word.
        
        But, if you want to debate Words with me, I suggest we work to established grammatical definitions and not
        psycho-sociobabblisms.

        Um, I would submit, in the spirit of the thesis, “researchers” would be an example of meaning words, whereas the overwrought value-laden affectation “psycho-sociobabblers” is a function word. At the very least it is a compound noun:
        
        Most compound nouns contain at least one noun. The other word or words may be an adjective, preposition, or verb. The second word is almost always the main word, with the first word modifying it or adding to its meaning.
        
        http://grammar.yourdictionary.com/parts-of-speech/nouns/compound-noun.html
        
        …and last time I looked, a modifier is an adjective or adverb.
        
        And given your misreporting of my friend’s earth-curvature experiments, I’m beginning to doubt your ability to report correctly and critique alleged climate change. Are you always so, sloppy and cavalier with the facts when reporting scientific findings with which you disagree? 😉

        Hey Maggy …..
        Just caught up with your observation….
        But…
        One member is supposed to refer to another Member as an “Honourable Member”. “The Hon.” refers to Ministers.
        
        Nitpicking I know, but there are no more than a handful of MPs (and I exclude my own who I regard as a lazy, Wellington-bound S O B ) that I regard as an “Honourable Member”

  Sorry softail, but I’m in the same age group as you, but in this day and age, there is a scientific technique called IVF.
  
  This is open to all couples, the important question for us is, who paid for it, if they are young enough the taxpayer did, if not they would have gone private.

    The important question is why are these adults allowed to deliberately deny a child a father?
    
    That is child abuse.

      Technically/biologically, there is a father.
      
      The sperm cell came from a male.
      
      Loads of kids grow up without ever seeing/knowing their daddy.
      
      And we don’t know whether or not Ms Allan has or intends having contact/a relationship with the child’s father and –
      It’s none of our business.

      Right Jazz.
      And the fact that the ‘fertility clinic’ is looking for male donors and the biggest demand is from single females is a major concern.
      Should this be allowed in the first place?
      If you watch the lost and found program you can see the huge effect not knowing who a father is , can have on people later in life.
      It is child abuse and in the future there will be big problems around this issue.

  Children raised without a father suffer immensely. Especially so for boys.
  
  Imagine not having a father figure model as a child?!
  
  To deliberately inflict that on an innocent child puts you in the same group as pedos and child beaters.
  
  Of course (((Sociologists))) of whom large numbers openly boast of their (((Marxist))) credentials pump out propaganda trashing natural heterosexual relationships and promoting their pet “oppressed” homosexual lifestylers.

    James Shaw to me is an example of someone who could have done with a father figure. He seems like he was smothered by women and doesn’t know how to be a bloke. He didn’t want to stand up to MeTu, I think, because of his upbringing and not daring to offend women. It’s a shame as he seems like a nice person but lacks that manly ego which to me is a necessary thing in today’s world of “women power”.

      Nice guys never get the hot girls.
      
      Nice guys never get respect from men.
      
      Take a look at Trump.
      
      Trump has never had anything less than an 8 hanging off his arm, and the current hottie rates a 10. And there are a whole lot of more 8 – 10s who would jump at the chance to be with Trump.
      
      And that drives the Hillary feminisnt shrews INSANE with rage. Take a look at the most vocal anti Trump females – ugly liberal Jewish fatties like Lena Durham. Or one of those Hollywood skanks who agreed to watch an influential Joo masturbate in the shower because it would open doors to fame and wealth.
      
      Men respect Trump, take a look at his Asia trip.

    It’s not only lesbians. So many women these days are picky about a life partner and end up 40, unmarried and childless. They then resort to either “the act” with a man they know or a turkey baster. To my mind it is simply prostitution, they are being paid in sperm, not money, no love or committment involved and the child remains fatherless. It is immoral, and not because of the sex, because deliberately bringing a fatherless child into the world is immoral.

  When lesbian or gay couples have babies it always means a third party is involved – the baby’s natural parent. I’m not saying that adoption is bad in general – it is preferable to abortion – but purposely organizing for a baby to be born, only to be separated from its natural parent so that you can play house with your same-sex partner isn’t right. One only has to look at Anika Moa and her first “wife” who had a baby where Anika’s brother was the sperm donor. Something very wrong with that. Oh, and Anika separated from her and is with another woman now.

    “I fell in love instantly and that was it. I knew I was going to be with her for the rest of my life. I’ve never loved someone as much as I love her. I idolise her,” Moa said.
    
    Irrespective of whether they are straight, gay or lesbian, whenever one reads words like that it’s almost like you can hear the captain of the Titanic ordering “full steam ahead – and more ice for my whisky!” 😉

  New Zealand has a dire shortage of secondary school teachers with top quality mathematics and science qualifications. Many teachers with those skills, so much in demand, will have read the cited news piece in their morning’s newspaper.
  So, pray tell me, why do we make those eminently suitable possible immigrants jump through rings of burning fire to get to our country, but liquor store proprietors and fast food vendors from the sub-continent are welcomed with open arms.

    Tauhei, great point. There will be superb maths teachers in China who would love to get to New Zealand, but have nowhere near the cash to qualify as investor grade. Russia, too, has great maths folk (tens of thousands have migrated to Israel, intellectually fuelling its now booming technology industry.)
    
    The best maths lecturer I encountered at university way back in the day was a Chinese guy whose English pronunciation was so bad he had to write everything he said on the board, but he got excellent results.

      There is no way I could match your great Cup tip. Those place odds were juicy. I would dearly love to see Gingernuts be so spicy, but I have my doubts about him. I am still in awe of his Avondale Guineas win; at the 800 metre mark he couldn’t keep up with the second last horse; then HE WON! I’ll pay a fleeting visit to Te Rapa to see Karisto. I had seen him trial at Te Aroha in January in behind Summer Passage and Ujjayyi and was told, by a good judge, that he had group status written all over him.
      In short, go Karisto if you can better than 5 to 2 about him.

  ” border crashing boat invaders ”
  
  In a long tradition of “persecuting the refugee,” the State Department and FDR claimed that Jewish immigrants could threaten national security
  
  the SS Drottningholm set sail carrying hundreds of desperate Jewish refugees, en route to New York City from Sweden.

Winston’s leak
”To issue proceedings,” the application says, “he [Winston Peters] requires access to the document trail developed by the conduct of the intended defendant’s aforesaid conduct”.

So Peters can claim someone has leaked his private information and then have lawyers look for any ‘evidence’, demanding that people who Peters thinks may have had access, supply ‘evidence’ ranging “from journalists’ notes, phone records, emails and other communications to ministers’ documents and phone and meeting records.”

And can those documents include all the National notes that may exist on their coalition negotiation meetings on Peters, but not with Peters? Just how extensive is Winston’s post-election fishing trip?

And who decides – the lawyers? Or can a named person, in response, say “I have checked all my texts and none mention Winston – I have nothing for you.” How does that work?

“He then fingers Joyce as having been “overheard” at a National Party conference claiming there was the “full load” story coming out about Peters.”

So what happens in regard to that? Will Joyce be asked to supply a list of all the people who may have overheard him?

And at least one report says the most likely culprit is number nine on Winston’s list.
So how can Peters’ lawyer legally conduct the fishing exercise on the first eight, and since it is likely that only one person is guilty of the so-called leak, the first eight are most likely innocent by Peters’ reckoning.
But all have been named publicly, so another question is: Has Peters smeared the reputation of those who are not guilty, if the case is resolved to show that, and can they then sue Peters for being unnecessarily and detrimentarily dragged through the media by him?

  The Newsroom article reads like Peters/lawyers fishing expedition is somewhat of a farce – no real proof, just innuendo and hearsay cobbled together to form a narrative.
  
  If that turns out to be the case then those who were pushing this narrative will be left with some explaining to do!

    Is Henry the source of the inspired leak via Whale?

    It is all too cute. And it denigrates the High Court.
    But what else should we expect from “Mr NO” ?

      About those remarkable connections you mention.
      
      Both WO and Soper have been consistent in their narratives by sheeting the blame directly to National (despite offering no actual proof, apart from “trust us, we know”).
      
      So is Winston’s team feeding these two? If so it would make good sense to have one respected MSM journalist (and one well known media blogger) to deal with.
      
      Or is it a case of Winston’s team feeding only one of these gentlemen (and that person feeding the other)?
      
      Who knows, but it is on the public record in various places that the WO site is paid or quid pro quo to write pieces (but I can’t imagine the same i.e. for the respected journalist being paid, as that is against journalism ethics and Soper has integrity). So at the end of the day people are being led up the garden path by one means or another.
      
      Interesting also in the Newsroom article that Winston’s team publically acknowedges Soper’s good reputation (but no mention of WO). Would Winston’s team have said that on the record if they were always “leaking” info to Soper? If not does it suggest WO is actually in the thick of it but at arms length (e.g. giving plausible deniability)?

  About bloody time. The ‘church’ used to be well known for throwing lawsuits around (Winston-like) if anyone disagreed with them. They rely on wealthy sycophants to survive, and Hollywood has its share of those.

When the shaking stopped, Bede Dwyer expected to look down on to a city of felled buildings and mass casualties.

He got up from the popped slats of his bed, walked past his smashed television set and crockery – past the microwave that had been thrown out of the wall – and down the stairwell, with its dandruff of plaster and concrete chips.

“I thought it was going to collapse up there, for sure, it felt that violent … I thought lots of people would have died and buildings and houses would have been completely levelled. So I was really surprised when I went outside – that everything was relatively fine.” … read more via hyperlink above …

Demographics is destiny.

“He, his wife and eight children have been in the city for six months and live in an apartment in Northeast Valley.”

“The Kurdish family originally lived near the city of Aleppo in Syria, but fled to Lebanon five years ago as the war was beginning.”

“The new Labour Government has pledged to double the refugee quota from 750 to 1500 in stages, but has not indicated which cities will take them.”

      No, there are no anti-abortion parties in Parliament. For kowtow to be consistent, he would have to demand that the Pope not meet any of them. But, and being as polite as I can, I don’t think consistency or accuracy was on kowtow’s agenda.

  They are meeting the Pope in his role as a world leader. I don’t think that’s an indication of their views on Christianity, assuming they all share the same view, which seems unlikely to me. Their are Christians in both the Labour and Green parties. Not mentioning Jesus in the Parliamentary prayer is not a statement against Christianity, but a recognition of where much of the country is now.

Given it’s a hundred years since the Communist revolution, does anyone know why people one would imagine would be called “right wingers” (Jacob Schiff & Paul Warburg) bankroll the “Bolshevik” takeover of Russia?

Schiff & Warburg were New York Based I international bankers so why would they fund these “lefties” with their new Russian surnames? What did they have in common?

  Why, ever since the French Revolution, have the MSM pushed a narrative that White people should classify themselves as “left” or “right” and that we need to vote for one of the teams that purportedly represent this fungible term?
  
  This contrasts with everything vibrants are told in that they must identify solely by their tribe rather than one of the meaningless and fungible words?

    You’ve got a helluva narrow view, EAD, even for a Nazi.
    
    1. It was Germany that helped enable the Bolshevik revolution by shipping Lenin and cohorts back through the battle lines to St Petersburg. The British, French, Americans, Czechs, and, I think the Japanese, sent troops to try to put down the Bolshevik revolution that Germany enabled. Germany successfully closed the World War 1 Eastern Front by shipping Lenin home.
    
    2. Left and Right occurred because one group of new representatives early in the French Revolution repeatedly clustered at one side of the meeting venue, and their opponents at the other.
    
    Your problem is that the Nazis were socialist – heavily into State power. The industrialists would have found their necks on the block if it had not been for the war defeat.

“It was important to him to kill as many German nationals of the Christian faith as possible. He wanted his actions to be viewed in the context of an Islamist attack, and understood as a contribution to jihad worldwide,” they added…….

…….Like Amri, Ahmad A. was to have been deported after his asylum application was rejected by authorities, but the process was held up by a lack of identity documents.”

Who lets them in? Who lets them stay.

thousands of Muslim refugees

Jacksie Will they bring “erotic goats” for our Rabbis and stop their women dressing like sluts, so as not to upset our precious Jews ?

My Jewish Learning

Why most Orthodox women cover their hair, whether with wigs, hats or scarves.

From this, the Talmud (Ketuboth 72) concludes that under normal circumstances hair covering is a biblical requirement for women.

Elsewhere in the Talmud (Berakhot 24a), the rabbis define hair as sexually erotic (ervah) and prohibit men from praying in sight of a woman’s hair. The rabbis base this estimation on a biblical verse: “Your hair is like a flock of goats”

        RC, I don’t like the way women are treated by Jewish Orthodoxy either, but here is the difference: Islamists really do want the entire world to believe in Islam or at least submit to it. Orthodox Jews just want to be left alone.

        Classic that is only because they believe gentiles are lessor people. Not because of respect for others. They believe that is Gods wish. They are no less extreme.
        
        Give Muslims all that Jews now have and you won’t see any suicide bombings or other overt extremism.

        Yes we would. Islam, like Christianity, is an imperialist religion that has as it’s core mission the bringing of the whole world under their version of the kingdom of their god. Combined with the view that they, and they alone, have the one truth, and religious violence is inevitable.

Don Trump was only over there for a couple of days and he is taking home a quarter of a trillion dollars of Trade Benefits from his deal with China. I wonder how much Taxcinda and Winston will be bring home.

  Well nevermind billions of export dollars now that TPPA failed, NZ is taking home a very worthy consolation prize …. a picture of Jacinda!
  
  Either the Vietnamese are very astute in recognising a future “Comrade” leader (maybe from watching a certain YouTube clip or something 😉 ) , of which this portrait will be worthy of inclusion in any fine Socialist’s Gallery (probably the one in Fraser House), or perhaps the Vietnamese researched a bit of NZ’s history and realised native NZ’ers can be bought rather cheaply but didn’t have any wet blankets on hand (as they had just given their last one to Justin Trudeau)! 😉

  Breaking news – RNZAF VIP Boeing 757 successfully returned to NZ from Vietnam on only one working engine!
  
  Upon closer inspection by the RNZAF ground crews at Whenuapai it was revealed one engine had been exchanged with a hollow substitute and inside were dozens of bottles of the finest scotch malt whisky and Russian vodka.
  
  The new Defence Minister (former SAS commando) arrived to take charge, and it was noted he was accompanied by a well dressed Gentleman in a pin striped suit who could be seen in the back seat of the VIP tinted window Humvee, ordered the ground crews to stand down and to do 30 minutes of face down press-ups whilst the Minister temporarily took charge of “off-loading the situation”!

Hi! – I’m from the Qlueless Qlux Qlan and are responsible for most of the public lynchings of gays!

This is the sort of crime that the gays in aussie have been accusing ‘No’ supporters of. Immature.

No gays you are not being killed or punished at the hands of heterosexuals — and you never really have been have you? 😎

    Even 50 years ago there was an undercurrent of violence against homosexuals in Wellington Maggy. They often bought trouble by being unnecessarily flamboyant & as they had a reputation for carrying knives, when they got bashed they really got bashed.
    
    That said the boot was often on the other foot. One night I & a couple of mates started a bit of trouble in Carmen’s “Balcony”. We were well built & fit but we hit the footpath inside a minute.
    
    My missus to be was our sober driver & she dined out on the way we got “man”handled. 🙂

She says she lost her phone, credit card and about $16. Odd: who would know they have $16 in their handbag? Not $15, not $20: $16. Hmmm.

Maybe she can ask Kelvin to pay her back.

TPP The BBC has this statement on the TPP

“The bid to revive the TPP, which would have covered 40% of the global economy, was led by trade ministers from Japan, Australia and New Zealand.”
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41937285

So let’s look at Labour in the past on the TPP since now they were LEADING its revival.

This current: https://itsourfuture.org.nz/

I could go but I think I have made my point.

So I would like to congratulate two faced Winston and Jacinda and David on Reviving the TPP. Not just signing it, but REVIVING it.

        I’ve gone off you, JB.
        
        Go and join the almond milk latte set, then.
        
        Perhaps Go Vege could rustle you up some “lamb” chops

        I never meant to upset you Maggy. I’m still in love with the picture of your rack! 🙂
        It’s just that I was worried about this:
        https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/mar/31/women-marrying-younger-men-dying-earlier-research
        Perhaps we could reach a half way situation with an elderly chef and a much younger waitress? 🙂

        I was really looking forward to cooking for you, Johnboy.
        
        But since I’ve discovered that you are still an OAP in Wainuiomata and an ageist, I feel I have had a lucky escape.

        I’d never have wanted a relationship with a woman who only wanted me for my money anyway Maggy.
        It’s very difficult for us millionaires to find true love hence my preference for sheep who of course have no concept of money. 🙂

        For goodness sake, what is the point of your having million$ if it is not to secure a damn fine cook?

        Well perhaps if you posted some more explicit pictures Maggy a chap could make a more informed decision? 🙂
        Perhaps some bare meat before it’s been prepared and seasoned for the oven? 🙂

        I’m pretty useless in the kitchen but I’ll pass the recipe on to my daughter.
        She’s a keen vegequarian also. 🙂

Greens announce contest to elect new co-leader in new year

Speculation has been rife, since the shock resignation of Metiria Turei, over her likely replacement. Close proximity to the election meant any moves to jostle into contention had been placed on the backburner. But among the most likely candidates was [Marama] Davidson, as well as Ministers and party veterans Julie Anne Genter and Eugenie Sage. Parliamentary Under-secretary and senior MP Jan Logie was also a likely contender.

What fun it’d be if they let everyone (not just Green Party members) vote on their replacement!

  Oh. I’d vote for Julie Anne. I’d want to take her away for a camping trip to check out her suitability for stewardship of our wild resources first of course! 🙂

Ardern hasn’t revealed the content of the talks with Turnbull, but said the fact they are continuing proved the urgency of the situation.

New Zealand won’t pursue a deal directly with Papua New Guinea, despite Foreign Minister Winston Peters spotted holding talks with PNG’s Prime Minister Peter O’Neill.

Ardern said it was faster to organise the logistics of any deal with Australia.

“It continues to be the easiest option is to go through Australia given the screening that’s already occurred of those refugees … I’m interested in the fastest route,” she said.

Peters has made it clear New Zealand’s offer also includes refugees and asylum seekers in Australian detention centres in Nauru.

So the person most noisy about immigration of the worst kind is now apparently supporting the other person on immigration of the worst kind.

How bad is that?
