MEMO RELEASED!
As expected it’s damning for the FBI, the DOJ and some very crooked people in the DNC, most likely up to and including Obama himself.

FISA warrants gained to spy on President Elect Trump based on Steele Dossier who was paid $160,000 USD by the DNC to produce the false information in the dossier.

Steele’s words about Trump to Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, a senior DOJ official – he was “desperate that Donald Trump not get elected, and he was passionate about him not being President”. This clear evidence of bias was recorded by Ohr at the time but not included in any of the subsequent Page FISA applications.

During this same period, Ohr’s wife was employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research, paid for by DNC and Clinton campaign via Fusion GPS. The Ohrs relationship with Steele and Fusion GPS was inexplicably concealed from the FISC. Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr later provided the FBI with all his wifes research paid for by the DNC and Clinton campaign while concealing their relationship with Fusion GPS and Steele.

While the FISA application relied on Steeles “past credible reporting on other matters”, it ignored or concealed his anti-Trump financial and ideological motivations.

Furthermore Deputy Director McCabe testified before the Committee in December 2017 that NO surveillance warrant would have been sought from the FISC without the Steele dossier information.

  Furthermore – The FBI and DOJ were all complicit in hiding the fact that the DNC and the opposition campaign funded a document which was then use to spy on the Republican candidate.
  What’s more is that they never even verified it, and used Yahoo News’ article about it to give it credibility.

    Senior Republicans are distancing themselves from Trump and his attempt to undermine the FBI.
    
    Here is the official statement from Sen. John McCain:
    
    “The latest attacks on the FBI and Department of Justice serve no American interests – no party’s, no president’s, only Putin’s. The American people deserve to know all of the facts surrounding Russia’s ongoing efforts to subvert our democracy, which is why Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation must proceed unimpeded. Our nation’s elected officials, including the president, must stop looking at this investigation through the warped lens of politics and manufacturing partisan sideshows. If we continue to undermine our own rule of law, we are doing Putin’s job for him.”

      McCain is senile. The undermining of the rule of law was done in Washington by the FBI and DOJ by taking partisan political opposition research and using that by concealing its origin to spy on an opposition candidate.
      
      If you think this is acceptable behaviour, I presume you would not complain if Trump and the GOP did the same in 2020 ?

        The Nunes memo confirms that the American intelligence community began their surveillence of Carter Page in 2013 after discovering that he was acting under the control of Russian handlers. This means their investigation started several years before Trump announced his candidacy in June 2015.
        
        It is reasonable and appropriate for the Amerian intelligence community to investigate the activities of a Russian controlled agent, so Carter Page’s communications with other American citizens therefore became part of their investigation.
        
        McCain sees the situation as it is – as do other senior Republicans. It won’t end well for Trump.

        Gump, nowhere in the memo is 2013 mentions, and saying that Carter Page was “under th control of Russian handlers” is pure bullshit.
        
        The memo makes it clear, the first FISA request that was granted was in October 2016 and was based on the Steele Dossier. No mention is made but several earlier reports have said that an application was made earlier in the year (June or so) with the FISA Court to conduct surveillance of Page but it was turned down.
        
        What’s more, the memo claims that the FBI at the time had not verified anything significant in the dossier, and that they quoted a “separate” report in Yahoo news as correlating evidence without stating that the source for Yahoo was Steele and that they knew this.
        
        The FBI and DOJ knew the source of the dossier and did not reveal that to the court. They knew it was paid research by the Clinton campaign and did not reveal that, a significant material omission that amounts to perjury and perversion of justice.
        
        You’re right that this won’t end well, but it’s not Trump that is in the gun, it is Comey, Strzok, Ohr, McCabe, Yates, and none other than Mueller manager Rosenstein. In order to discourage the US security services from attempting to interfere in future elections I am of the opinion that these people should be prosecuted, imprisoned, fined, and denied all pension rights – pour encourageur les autres as they say.

  I’m pissing myself laughing for real AgentB. You must have had that all typed up ready for the GD.
  
  On a serious note, this scandal is bigger than watergate. Also Obama will have two options:
  1: he didn’t know about it – despite being briefed.
  2: he knew about it and still denied in public spying on Donald Trump campaign.

      Backing our host
      
      Well ABS, I’m going to disagree with you about Mr Farrar covering this. The fundamental truth about our esteemed host is that while he is a CINO, he is an honest, straight up sort of fellow.
      
      It may burn him deeply that he was so comprehensively wrong about Trump and that he continues to have recurring bouts of his Tds problems – however, the titanic nature of this revelation that proves Obama is (as many have long suspected) a crook on a titanic scale that dwarfs Nixon’s itty bitty naughtiness – is starting to look like one of those watershed revelations.
      
      I believe our host is, as he’s done before, biting down on his visceral irrational hatred for Trump and putting together a punchy pithy blogpost examining this issue.
      
      I’ve underestimated our host’s integrity before and he’s usually proven my cynicism wrong.

        DifferentPerspective, I agree with you regarding honesty and integrity from DPF, I have never once called that into question. Most people here would know I have supported Trumps run for President though I had misgivings about his suitability in the past, I always thought he was better than Hillary. I was one of the original “Trump will win” posters here and I am glad to see that my fears about his suitability as President were unfounded.
        DPF can support who he wants but it is becoming increasingly obvious that it’s no longer tenable to stick with the partisan line that the DNC are less corrupt than the Trump administration. That includes Pelosi, Clinton and quite a few staffers in powerful positions.
        When DPF runs his post I am sure it will be factual and will point out flaws in my own argument. That will just ensure that I learn more and get educated on aspects I hadn’t thought of. I look forward to it.
        
        Once again I am glad of the opportunity to comment here, it is the most liberal blog in the country regarding freedom of comments and I try damn hard not to lose that right.
        
        So with that said – Thanks David, I am in no way disparaging of your your blog or the fine people who comment here. If I were to recommend a place to people it would be KIWIBLOG!

  There has always been a mild smell that only raised a mild curiosity.
  Many people do not recognize the smell of gangrene.
  A sweet sickly smell, but when the bandages are ripped off, is overpowering with its toxic sweetness and can be seen as the stench arises from the greenish yellowish pus of soup.
  
  Any infectious parts to be washed away.
  Heaps of exposure, sunlight, antiseptic, cleansing, is needed before the healing can start.
  The surrounding area to be disinfected so that reinfection does not occur.
  
  It is still dangerous, as it can contaminate and lead to many other complications, until totally cleansed.

        Milhous, let me spell it out a little for you. Andrew McCabe testified under oath that the FISA court application to spy on Trump and his campaign would not have been sought or granted if it wasn’t for the “Steele Dossier”. Fact, undisputed, given under oath.
        
        The Dossier was put together by Steele with extensive help from Ed Baumgartner and probably Nellie Ohr at Fusion GPS. The Clinton campaign (and the DNC and the Obama Campaign fund) paid Fusion GPS via lawyers Perkins Coie- known and undisputed public information. Fusion GPS paid Steele, and Steele gathered his information form “Russian sources” said by Steele to be active in the Putin Administration. Steele himself cannot visit Russia (he is banned from travelling there) so Ed Baumgartner and others were used to collect info that Steele could not get by email or phone calls. That information was paid for.
        
        Now, active members of the Putin Adminsitration do not provide “classified” information to ex-MI6 agents casually, not if they wish to continue being active in any sense, so the FSB, the Russian security agency would be aware of the data being passed and would have approved of it. This is conjecture but very well based conjecture I suggest.
        
        So then we have information being passed from the Russian security agency to the Clinton Campaign for money- if you want to find collusion look no further, there is is.
        
        And this data was then used by the DOJ and FBI by still employed persons before the FISA court with critical facts suppressed like the origin of the data. I doubt that the tamest judge would have issued a FISA warrant based on data known to be from the Clinton campaign.
        
        Rod Rosenstein, the deputy AG who commissioned Mueller to investigate just the Trump campaign was fully complicit in this illegal and deceptive behaviour. He must resign, and with that his appointment of Mueller must be withdrawn. Mueller is investigating Trump for Russian collusion based on material obtained by collusion and obtained from the Russian FSB themselves. The Russians must be pissing themselves laughing with just how gullible and stupid the US is over this.

  Well done for your total exposure of the now tainted FBI and their questionable Department of Justice.What a web they have weaved ,when they set out to deceive.

  Yes it seems to me that the whole Trump Russia collusion story investigation was based on false information bought and paid for by the democrats.
  I’ve always thought that Trump is a Manchurian candidate, a traitor to his country who is only president because the election was tilted by the Russians was incredible.
  Now we see that the investigation into collusion was based on false evidence planted by the democrats.
  Congress should do their job. This whole Mueller investigation is based on a false premise and should be wound up asap.
  
  But Trump is doing what he promised to do in the campaign and that was to drain the swamp. And we can see now that there are swamp creatures who should not hold office and need to be fired.

    Steele & Fusion GPS (Democrat funded), leaked his story to Yahoo News, then pointed to the fact it was in the news to give it credibility to the FBI. Despite Ohr and Strzok knowing it was untrue they then applied for a FISA warrant based on this information.
    Steele was suspended and then terminated as an FBI source for what the FBI defines as “the most serious of violations”.
    They quoted their own fake news to collude against Trump.

      None of that is true. The Yahoo story was used as evidence that the investigation was becoming public and that Page might try to cover his tracks. Steele wasn’t suspended or terminated as a source – the FBI never had a formal relationship of that type with him.

        They paid him, or so the memo claims. So he is a source of theirs as well. They used him before, for example on the FIFA investigation.
        
        The Yahoo story was used as corroborative information to the FISA court to show another source for the information, only it wasn’t a separate source just a separate release of the same info.
        
        Page had no need to cover his tracks, he’s not involved in anything untoward with Russians as far as we know. He certainly has not been charged with anything. He has well known and extensive contacts with a number of Russians, something that is not (yet) illegal as long as it isn’t used illegally.

    Katie Pavlich on Twitter sums it up –
    
    “All along, it was the Clinton campaign, some in Obama’s DOJ and Fusion GPS that were colluding with a foreign entity to influence the election. The exact thing they’ve accused the Trump campaign of doing, they are guilty of.”

  FBI Director James Comey abused his government position in a conspiracy with FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, FBI Investigator Peter Strzok, Deputy and Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Assistant Attorney General Dana Boente, and Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr to prevent the election of President Donald Trump and then to impede him in carrying out his duties as President by suborning the perjury of Christopher Steele to maliciously obtain a warrant to spy upon candidate Trump’s campaign and President Trump’s administration for politically partisan purposes.
  
  Those are felonies.

  Curious similarity – US and NZ socialists – oppose releasing official information
  
  It turns out that release of the memo was opposed and obstructed every step of the way by the dnc ranking member on the committee! Refer to the memo here.
  
  Sounds awfully like our never lying lying PM who after promising “complete transparency and openness” is leading a government that is relentlessly secretive and obstructive.

  ABS , this is how the more mature see the highly partisan and cherry picked memo ,
  
  “Nunes drops his cherry-picked memo: This is it?!”
  
  House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), who previously created a short-lived firestorm over a non-scandal about “unmasking” names from surveillance, tried his best to assist President Trump by concocting and today releasing a memo that sought to sabotage the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and Trump’s subsequent efforts to disrupt that investigation. After a huge buildup, a scant memo of less than four pages makes the sweeping allegation that Christopher Steele’s dossier was the basis for obtaining a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Court to conduct surveillance on suspected Russian agent Carter Page. The memo turns out to be decidedly underwhelming and at times baffling.
  
  The memo acknowledges that the FISA warrant was extended multiple times. Nunes finds fault in the application because allegedly the court was not told that Fusion GPS which commissioned Steele at one point was paid by an attorney of Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Without proof, it claims he was hired to find disparaging evidence on Trump (Fusion GPS’s founder disputed this under oath). It claims Steele was an FBI source, an allegation for which we have no support. It claims, again without support, that Steele was fired as a source for leaking some of his findings to the press….”

    I note it uses the words “claims” repeatedly inferring it is not necessarily correct ( like WP uses anonymous sources) but as I said above two senior FBI guys went through it last week and found no factual errors.

    Simpson’s testimony will come under further scrutiny, it is quite apparent that he was somewhat economical with the truth in his testimony – which was under oath I think.
    
    Here’s a challenge:
    
    The Clinton campaign and others paid Fusion GPS for opposition research on Trump, the payments made and written off as legal expenses via Perkins Coie, correct ?
    
    Fusion GPS employed Steele for at least some of the research and paid him, establishing a chain of payment from Clinton to Steele, correct ?
    
    Steele produced the dossier given his name containing quite a lot of information, some known to be false, some unverified, and some insignificant points that are true (Eg Carter Page travelled to Moscow), correct ?
    
    That Dossier was presented to the FISA court as evidence to get a surveillance warrant over Page’s contacts and communications. When presented the source of the document was known to th FBI but was NOT disclosed to the court, correct ?
    
    Any real dispute with those statements ?

    Not until just now Maggy, but it’s pretty damn accurate to what we know so far. I never believed the Loretta Lynch cover story and it was obvious that Strzok, Obama and many others covered for the Bleachbit email affair.
    Thanks for the link. Most of the details are commonly suspected, and reported elsewhere but interesting to see the depth of McCabes involvement as well. Maybe he has a conscience?

    I read WO most days but have long since given up commenting there. The reason for my choice is the arbitrary manner with which their otherwise sensible moderation policy is enforced. I note the most brutish Moderator, “Pete,” has recently left but his damage is now entrenched. WO has evolved into a “family fireside chat room” where only colourless subjects are allowed free-rein. It is a shame, however I continue to have some affection for Cameron and the site. “Pete,” was a classic example of when you give a small personality a wide discretion, the discretion dies quickly.

    Just pure curiosity, no pecuniary interest haha. I used to follow it closely as i appreciated some of the political insights, but now find the ‘analysis’ is driven by personal vendettas like about John Key and Judith Collins, and now something about Bill English. Whale Oil simply does not seem reasonable and I all I am after are reasonable arguments from people.
    
    It has way too many random videos, too much content.

      I find the personal vendetta by the WO “business owner” against Bill English and Co, tiresome and subjective – and it impacts on the integrity of the whole blog.
      However, most of the commenters there make interesting contributions which are not generally strewn with offensive language, personal insults and irrational thought processes…………

He thinks his beloved Judith should be leader and will hate Bill for ever because he is and she isn’t. A lot of people who used to give him inside info don’t any more, he is too toxic. I think his blog is getting desperate for readers now and the constant begging is a real turn off…that and his personal vendettas.

      To be fair, Slater needs to support his family and there’s no reason he couldn’t make coin from the blog – after all I’m not so sure he has other saleable talents and his petulant personality would make him ‘the employee from hell’.
      WOBH changed dramatically, and not for the better, when some of Slater’s key sources dried.
      I infinitely prefer the ‘reasoned discussion’ style of WOBH without the silly comments, the personally abusive comments and the foul language that appears here sometimes, but a reasonable expectation that posters not criticise the blog owner became a rule that fawning sycophants only need apply.
      The free blog is not worth the time to visit these days, and I would hope the content you get on subscription is better.
      Perhaps someone in the ‘Members Box’ could enlighten us.

      I doubt Cam is any friend of Winston (calling him the pensioner from St Mary’s Bay etc) but was in tune with some of Winston’s political thinking eg on immigrants. Hence he pushed Winston a being someone (useful idiot?) who could influence National on immigration etc but who would not do a coalition deal involving the Greens. So he was like all those who supported Winston to ‘teach National a lesson’ and the whole thing blew up in their faces so he then tried to blame Bill English for it.

    Paula would make a better leader than Judith. Judith is tainted but nothing will make Cam see that. He is so desperate to be “the one whispering words in the ear of power” he would destroy the National Party in order to achieve it. He has most of the smarts of his father, but none of the tact required to implement it.
    In short, fuck WhaleOil just another quasi Standard type circlejerk.

    Yes gorse but we must wonder just how good WO insider gossip is when Judith Collins herself says she is not interested in being leader. Do believe her when she thanks Bill English for giving her current shadow portfolio responsibilities.
    IMO she is revelling in her current position and doing some of her best work while looking her best doing what she is good at with enthusiasm. Now we just need other MP’s in their team to take a lesson from her on how to prepare questions for OQT. Sure it is a tall order with SO many hard questions to be posed which will increase to greater volumes by the day. Mallard has started to tire of the obfuscation as he struggles to maintain order in the House.

No, that’s not the lefty way. You have to join the union before you get looked after.

While the media obsess about the racist , hate filled ,divider Trump they don’t seem at all concerned that the most powerful wimmin in the world the world can’t form a gummint.
All because Germans don’t really want their country flooded with third world Muslims .

You see , we are meant to welcome them!

‘Germany has been in political limbo since a September 24th election in which Merkel failed to win a clear majority, in part due to the rise of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) which took millions of votes from all major parties.’

https://www.thelocal.de/20180202/serious-differences-still-blocking-government-deal-says-merkel

Meanwhile because European gummints don’t defend their borders more migrants drown. 90 in the latest incident . The politicians have those deaths on their hands and are responsible for the crime wave that comes with the migrants.

    Can’t uptick you sorry Inandout – yes the traffickers are guilty, but it is the politicians who enable them. Australia (specifically Howard and Abbott) have shown how it can be done, and drowned refugees/fakeugees/queue jumpers are now almost unheard of on the way to Australia.

    Politicians refuse to enforce their borders. This directly plays into the hands of the smugglers who use the lack of enforcement to continue their trade.
    
    As pointed out the Australians have shown the way. How hard can it be?
    
    The conclusion must be that , like the Democrats in the USA , they are happy for illegal migration to continue, to have unscreened unknowns migrate , to allow the deaths to continue and to destroy the social fabric of their own countries.
    
    Islam is and was always at war with the west and these politicians, media , NGOs etc are on the side of the invaders.
    
    Treachery, and at the very least manslaughter ,on the part of the politicians who are failing in their basic duty to their own electorates.

  God, I bloody hope not. That would be so OTT and a PR stunt.
  On another note, I see she was wearing those god damn awful shoes – the ones which have a thick strap over the ankle (if you’ve got fat ankles ladies, then it is an absolute no no to wear ankle-strap shoes). Fortunately, for me, I have very fine ankles and a flattering leg shape so can do ankle-strap shoes justice.
  Then she was also wearing a pair of ghastly greenstone dangly earrings – her way of giving to the nod to Waitangi in some bizarre way?
  And wearing a jacket on a hot day?
  The dress was lovely and appropriate for the burgeoning belly as I, personally, am not in favour of pregnant ladies stretching a tight-fighting tube over a bulging belly. Not classy at all.
  I am a fashion critic – I know what looks flattering and what doesn’t do the wearer any justice at all in case someone asks.

      I like that -“Political Frumps”.
      Talk about frumps – we were at the races yesterday and this woman turns up in the sponsors lounge wearing veeery fitting white leggings with some sort of sack on top. Now, if she had a very nice pair of pins and wasn’t pushing 70 – although I shouldn’t comment on the age – it would have been another matter. These tights did nothing for her at all except accentuate every lump and bump and made her look like a tart. Especially when you get a full frontal view of their ‘camel toe’. Oh god, that’s when I just wanted to heave onto the plate in front of me. Most unattractive indeed. Ladies, we need to accentuate our good bits and downplay our bad bits. ‘Camel toes’ definitely out!
      BTW – I’ll be watching out for the PM dangling a piece of greenstone around her neck as a shout out to Waitangi.

I love any excuse to put on my Sunday best! Went to my cousin’s funeral last week and dressed appropriately for the occasion. We were there to pay our respects and I showed my respect to him and his family by dressing appropriately. These young ones somehow think anything goes.

I see Winston is still trying to bluff National over his leveled Pension payments with declaring that he is satisfied the two Journalists are no longer in his definitions proceedings. It has to make you laugh as no sooner has that been released Clare Trevett joins Barry Soper and Audrey Young in having her crack at National by saying they released information to Winston and his Laywers that has obviously given them something to go ahead with that National don’t realise they have released, when are the media going to stop playing games and propping up Winstons Bluff as this release is all about Winston hitting 3.7% in the latest poll and trying to make out this is all the National Party’s fault.

Jacinda met with the Maori Wardens and now the media are saying she has amazed them because normally the PM does not meet with anyone apart from those Dignitaries invited to Waitangi.

No point going all that way and spending 5 days at Waitangi in the hope and hell of making an impression and not taking the opportunity of talking to someone now is there.
      Otherwise, she may as well have stayed at home and enjoyed the comfort of her own home……

That is the question I would like answered because I can’t see that being wearing both hats is helpful. So go and find something else to bash you old farts….

  National needs to fight him on this. Winston miscalculated on this, the more the public learn of this, the more we see that he had no intention of going with National. So next time Winston can no longer claim “to keep them honest.” It becomes a binary choice between National and not National, any National supporter considering a third party will think again. That is why he is under 5% and going down.

    I do not hold Winston’s negotiating tactic against him. At work we wanted to buy a plot of land for a fairly big ‘zone’ substation. Plots L and N were on the market with both vendors keen to sell. L was the preferable site but we did not tell the L and N vendors that. So we got it for a good price as L was worried we would buy from N. Think L=Labour and N=National, it was a fair tactic on Winston’s part.
    However if Winston had leaked his Superannuation matter with the aim of blaming National and the media of leaking, that would be highly questionable.

Anything to denigrate the National Party and Bill English who told you to sling your hook.
Don’t worry the media who have been “exonerated” by him are still quite complicit but it does not suit his play.

    Careful, Cap’n, your ulcer will eat you alive if you keep thinking about Winston Peters like that.
    
    Let’s face it: if he’d gone with the people who’d spent the previous nine years ridiculing and abusing him—remember Key’s reverent pledge in 2008 to not go into coalition with him?—then you would be his greatest champion.
    
    Don’t be a sore loser. You need to keep that ulcer down, my friend.

  Yesterday I was browsing in the library and happened to notice Winnie’s mug on a magazine.
  
  Racing Times? No.
  Whiskey Monthly? No.
  Northland Gazzette? No
  
  It was Womans Weekly! Something like “What Winston Peters has had to sacrifice to be in parliament.”
  
  I bet he never had to sacrifice a certain $158k.

Lovely polite letter to editor in today’s ComPost:

“Speaker of the House Trevor Mallard was asked why he had dropped naming Jesus in the Parliamentary Prayer. His response was ‘most New Zealanders are not Christians’. Most New Zealanders don’t speak Maori , yet the prayer is given in Maori”.

Good point made by Fiona Russell.

  Even as an atheist I find Trevor’s assertion that ‘most New Zealanders are not Christians’ absurd. NZ is based on Christianity. I don’t care one way or another that Jesus is mentioned in the Parliamentary prayer but not all tradition has to be done away with.

    I’ll bet that if Parliament decided to forego the Christian holidays (Christmas, Easter etc.) to appease the “Non Christians,” there would be a revolt!

    Huevon, a correction sorry- they hate the Christian God. They love the Maori spiritual worldview. The incongruence is breathtaking, but that is where the neo-marxist, post-modern identity politics paradigm is taking our whole society and culture, to its demise.
    
    Incidentally, that is why I am enjoying Jordan Peterson so much, just as I have enjoyed Thomas Sowell – some beacons of reason who challenge the paradigm.

    It is very apparent that most local bodies have been neglecting one of their primary responsibilities. A sorry case of local voters “getting their own back” out doing freedom campers taking a dump on their streets.

Tim Murphy tweets –
‘Ha! … He got nothing he asked for and walked away tail between legs…
Thanks to all those who recognised this misguided and flawed attempt to intimidate media for what is was.”

So is Peters, issuing a statement yesterday afternoon saying action against the journalists had been amicably resolved “having provided the information required by Mr Peters’ legal team” – is Winston lying to all those his statement was intended for … like the entire nation.

And then Winston has named several other people in National.
Usually a leak is only one person, you would think.
So of the three or four remaining, if Winston concentrates on one, can the others sue Winston for defamation or whatever, since he has obviously wronged them if they are innocent?

        Where is the evidence? All I see is leftist drivel pumped out by the fake news producing CNN, NBC and ABC repeated without any thinking by our left leaning news media. Trump has a style that is crass, but it’s effective. If we had Clinton #2 in the top job, I’d be more worried about the state iof international affairs. With Trump, Korea is no longer getting a free pass, the Muslim nations are not able to bully the one and only true representative democracy in the Middle East and the USA finally has a president that puts his own country’s interests first. I wish we had a primeminister that put our country’s interests first.

        OK, so what corruption do you see. People use Trump Hotel in Washington, yet there’s (so far) zero evidence that they are in any way coerced into doing so. Anything else yet ?
        
        Not to indulge in whataboutism but have you examined the Clinton’s with respect to corruption, with special attention paid to their Foundation.
        
        Narcissistic, well all politicians probably have a high regard for themselves, yet Trump seems considerably less narcissistic than Obama at least, and I don’ recall you making that point. Obama, the “I’m a better speech writer than my speechwriters….”man, the one who used “I” something like 70 times in one speech. And mendacious, the “if you like your doctor….” and “I learnt about Hillary Clinton’s email server from the newspapers…” while sending confidential unencrypted emails to her at that address while she was in Russia,…..that person ?
        
        All politicians are flawed, most distinctly so. Trump just so happens not to fit your vision of what a politician must be, doesn’t make him unfit, in fact he appears to be doing a pretty reasonable job so far, despite the hindrances of the deep state trying to undermine him at every turn.

  If it had been ‘amicably resolved’ as Winston suggested, Tim Murphy (one of Winston’s two journalist targets) would have shut up and not crow from the rooftop that he gave Winston nothing.

  LMFAO if it turns out that Winston’s obsession with National and his “leaked” pension details were due to the WO blog pushing that narrative.
  
  I note that only WO (and Barry Soper) who were initially pushing that narrative (eg that it was “National”) and both WO and Soper were Winston’s mouthpieces during the election. .
  
  Whereas DPF has previously said it was a “conspiracy theory” (and National yesterday said they weren’t at all concerned).
  
  Two different viewpoints and I know which one I’d trust.

    If it was any political party it would clearly have been the greens.
    
    It was just after the whole MeTu shitfest. Winston put in the boot hard on MeTu and called for her to resign etc.
    
    So a little green birdie working in WINZ might have got upset to see her Green Froggy Hero treated so badly and have decided to go for a little dig.
    
    And what does the little green he/she/it find? Winnie just couldn’t help himself. He just had to take that extra $60 a week.
    
    That is surely more likely than anything else.

  And now Cam Slater is claiming that Winston put it across successfully and that Tim Murphy is too thick to know he has been done. Pull the other one Cam, I have a nice bridge to sell you. If Tim was still ‘on the hook’ in any way he would have been far more circumspect in his comment – he is no idiot.

Today’s big hit:
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/02/us-futures-move-lower-as-investors-worry-about-rising-yields.html

U.S. stocks fell sharply on Friday after a stronger-than-expected jobs report sent interest rates higher.

The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 550 points, with Exxon Mobil sliding 5.8%. The 30-stock index also fell below 26,000. Friday also marked the first time since June 2016 that the Dow fell at least 500 points.

ztev,

yesterday you said I have ‘air’ regarding Tim Murphy refuting Winston’s narrative over his latest civil suit – while you proudly quoted your ‘sources’.

You claimed that the journos had both given information and folded because they have no money to defend it.

My source:

https://twitter.com/tmurphyNZ/status/959261762347413505

(I hope this link works ok)

Again, you calling Tim Murphy a liar? Or did you just pull yesterday’s comments out of your arse?

      ‘Spanish Bride’ commented on this recently. It seemed they had a benefactor lined up who was going to bankroll it but he died just before kick-off date. Presumably they would now hope to grow the present operation by building up a subscription base, but the trouble with this option is there are too many people (like me) who point blank refuse to subscribe – kittens or no kittens, crosswords or no crosswords.

Minority Leader Pelosi got confused and mixed up on Thursday when speaking to reporters on the pending release of the House Intelligence FISA memo.

Pelosi stuttered and once again called President Trump “Bush” to a gaggle of reporters.

Than

I had a hard time believing this article isn’t satire. But with no indication otherwise, I’m working from the assumption that it is meant seriously.

Public restrooms – is it sexist women always have to queue?

The author does not seem to be asserting that men’s bathrooms occupy more square footage than women’s bathrooms. Or that the plumbing is somehow better. Or that they are advantaged in any sense due to greater resources. Yet apparently, because the existence of the urinal allows men to finish peeing faster and using less space, this is dreadfully sexist and must be stamped out.

In a bizarre way (and I cannot believe the sentence I am about to write) this is socialism applied to bathroom queueing times. The author seems to be genuinely proposing that one urinal that might allow four or five men to pee simultaneously be replaced by two cubicles that would allow two individuals of either gender to pee simultaneously. Bathroom waiting times for women would drop somewhat, while those for men would go up significantly. The average waiting time for the overall population would go up. But apparently that’s a good thing, because everybody would be waiting longer equally.

FFS, is this how pathetic modern feminism has become?

  Oh my, how the Feminists have fallen, reduced to writing articles bemoaning their lack of a penis, nothing to do with equality, and all to do with the misfortune of biology and being born sans a pecker.
  Ironically, on the same day, some cuck wrote about the joys of sitting down to pee. Don`t have a link tho`?

  Funny to see Than but it could be because those with GID problems need to sit in prettier surroundings since they now look silly squatting in a urinal? It’s that or getting used of the trickle down effect.
  You can take the manly bits away but not the convenience at a convenience or the joys of a good shake that some enjoy. Then when one gets to the age where it “takes all night to do what one might have done all night” the shakes are part of the relief.

    Not really Digmen1 since it was a SOTU address where the voters get the real story and not the fake version. Remember his thrust is MAGA and while the Democrats get more coverage by the MSM they too are struggling to cover up their sorry state or SOTDP.

  The real master stroke was not firing Mueller because had that happened then quite probably none of this would have seen daylight.
  Trump has known since soon after the election that he was spied on. Admiral Rodgers went to him to have a “chat” at Trump Tower. The next the whole Trump team moved “office” to another location. Comey &co immediately pushed for Rodgers to be sacked. Join the dots.
  ( Rodgers had been doing an audit within the NSA for months prior to that)

You don’t have to be a Trump cheerleader to see that this is an appalling business and the issue here relates, as a bare minimum, to senior government officials exercising draconian powers contrary to their obligations and withholding material information relevant to the FISA application. In essence, lying to a Federal judge by omission at least. Beyond that, there are clear signals of collusion between FBI, DOJ and the
        clinton machine and even in the absence of collusion, very serious conflicts of interest on the part of FBI and DOJ as a consequence of relationships and work performed for the Clinton machine by the spouses of Ohr and McCabe.
        
        As for describing this as a partisan document, it records events. The closest it goes to partisanship is the use of the words “troubling breakdown” in reference to the non-compliance with legal process by DOJ and FBI. In fact, IMO, that substantially understates what appears to have occurred.
        
        If your rather blasé view of this matter is that it is nothing more than an exercise in Trump furthering his own interests, then you don’t deserve to get into government and I sincerely hope you never do.
        
        Your casual indifference to propriety is no different to that of Turei justifying benefit fraud, Clarke changing the law to justify the theft of taxpayer money, or Peters being perfectly at ease over the Vela business, the Glen business and the $158,000, or the Philip Field caper and the Daljit Singh electoral fraud. Nice company you keep.

        I agree with oob. Commenters such as Da Vinci mode give all the ammunition the left need against us. It was actually the GOP that started black ops on Trump, not the DNC. Nunes memo is not a legal opinion, nor is it a legal judgement. Him, and the GOP majority on the committee, have no legal authority to state as a fact the FISA application was illegal. They’re just political statements.
        
        I feel sad that politics is now so partisan that supposedly intelligent people can’t see that and just take their side without objective and sensible thoughts.

The prominent Swiss academic Tariq Ramadan, a professor of contemporary Islamic studies at the University of Oxford, has been taken into custody by French police following accusations of rape.

A judicial source confirmed to Reuters that Ramadan was taken into custody on Wednesday. A preliminary investigation was opened after two women filed police complaints against him late last year, accusing him of rape.

Religious news:

The Child-Rape Assembly Line

Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg—who is 63 with a long, graying beard—recently sat down with me to explain what he described as a “child-rape assembly line” among sects of fundamentalist Jews.

On a visit to Jerusalem in 2005, Rabbi Rosenberg entered into a mikvah in one of the holiest neighborhoods in the city, Mea She’arim. “I opened a door that entered into a schvitz,” he told me. “Vapors everywhere, I can barely see. My eyes adjust, and I see an old man, my age, long white beard, a holy-looking man, sitting in the vapors. On his lap, facing away from him, is a boy, maybe seven years old. And the old man is having anal sex with this boy.”

Rabbi Rosenberg paused, gathered himself, and went on: “This boy was speared on the man like an animal, like a pig, and the boy was saying nothing. But on his face—fear. The old man [looked at me] without any fear, as if this was common practice.

  Rabbi Rosenberg believes around half of young males in Brooklyn’s Hasidic community—the largest in the United States and one of the largest in the world—have been victims of sexual assault perpetrated by their elders.
  
  Ben Hirsch, director of Survivors for Justice, a Brooklyn organization that advocates for Orthodox sex abuse victims, thinks the real number is higher. “From anecdotal evidence, we’re looking at over 50 percent. It has almost become a rite of passage.”

  Not one person has stepped forward to condemn this atrocity. Maybe they are just anti Semites and reject the expose because a Rabbi spoke out?

    It was to do with being called out for his use of the “false cause” effect.
    
    Non causa pro causa: (literally “no cause for a cause”) in general, the fallacy of making a mistake about the ascription of some cause to an effect. This is the general category of “false cause.”
    
    For that I got subjected to 10 posts accusing me of covering for and condoning child abusers.

        WHAT ARE ‘HARMFUL DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS’?
        
        Harmful digital communications can take many different forms. They can be private messages or content that others can see. They include when someone uses the internet, email, apps, social media or mobile phones to send or publish threatening or offensive material and messages, spread damaging or degrading rumours and publish online invasive or distressing photographs or videos.
        
        A digital communication may be deemed harmful if it:
        
        Is directed at an individual; and
        Makes that person seriously emotionally distressed; and
        It has or could seriously breach of one or more of the 10 communication principles in the Act.
        THE 10 COMMUNICATION PRINCIPLES
        
        The 10 principles say that a digital communication should not:
        
        disclose sensitive personal facts about a person;
        be threatening, intimidating, or menacing;
        be grossly offensive;
        be indecent or obscene;
        be used to harass a person;
        make a false allegation;
        breach confidences;
        incite or encourage anyone to send a deliberately harmful message;
        incite or encourage a person to commit suicide; and
        denigrate a person’s colour, race, ethnic or national origins, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability.

      I posted an article about a Rabbi trying to stop this in his religious group, with the help of others in the community. He had witnessed it first hand.
      
      I made no comment other than to condemn ALL pedos regardless of religion, including atheists.
      
      Your response was to immediately run a diversion strawman demanding sources and implying the figures given by the Rabbi were mine and attempting to divert from the offending. You lied.
      
      Ironically this is exactly what the Rabbi and his supporters have faced and he says so in the article.
      
      If this is not enabling pedos what is? They can only exist because of people like you attacking those who expose it. The Rabbi is clear about that. This is a common theme with religious groups.
      
      Interestingly you have been totally silent while others say all Muslims are rapist pedos.

      No I called you an enabler not a pedo. Your post starts with a false claim in saying that “I” made various claims with no source.
      
      In fact it was a first hand account from a Rabbi and I made no claim at all. Classic strawman tactic of an enabler.

Muslims helping boost sales of modern chastity belts – socialism successes

This is so priceless! Merkel’s muslim invasion is creating new and vibrant business opportunities in Germany!

A new stylish clothing line of anti-rape shorts (pc-speak for “chastity belts”) is taking off in Germany. Of course, there is no mention of the the ethnicity of the “three men who attacked” the designer of the shorts (just like the great Fawlty Towers episode where Cleese kept on telling everyone to not “mention the war”).

If the Greens get their wish for massive increases to the refugee quota – it shouldn’t be long before these are on sale in NZ.

Maybe Rose McGowan can be the agent for the Hollywood franchise.

  Maybe Jewish boys can use them to stop being raped by Rabbis, as over 50% are currently.
  
  Enough from me, read what Rabbi Rosenburg has to say about the homosexual rape of young boys by Jews.

      Inandout, that is the difference between you and me. I condemn ALL the pedos regardless of their faith. While you attempt to minimise and distract from the crimes of many pedos, because of your bigotry.

        Yeah, nah that’s not my bag man.
        
        Claiming 50% of Hasidic Jews are sexually molested as boys with no source to back it up? I get you’re excited about it but report it with some truthfulness and clarity. Assuming you will get downticks because we’re all covering up for pedophiles?
        
        That’s some next level false cause fuckery.

      Maggy, there have been a number of such scandals around the world, largely ignored by the media.
      
      A common factor is the terrible persecution of anyone that speaks out. The Jews are very tribal and breaking ranks is a major sin.
      
      A few brave Rabbis are stepping up and trying to address the problem, but you only have to read KB to see what those brave Rabbi’s are up against.
      
      This was the same issue with the Catholic Church. People put saving face of the religion before the welfare of the victims.
      
      Those who fail to condemn it and run diversion comments here are the ones who allow the rape of children. They are beneath contempt.
      
      I condemn ALL child rape: Hindu, Jews, Muslims, Catholics, Buddhists, Atheists. All. They do not. But you can see that for yourself with pedo enablers like the Agent ^^^

        “Claiming 50% of Hasidic Jews are sexually molested as boys with no source to back it up? “
        
        In response to this comment and “source”:
        
        Rabbi Nuchem Rosenberg—who is 63 with a long, graying beard—recently sat down with me to explain what he described as a “child-rape assembly line” among sects of fundamentalist Jews.
        
        On a visit to Jerusalem in 2005, Rabbi Rosenberg entered into a mikvah in one of the holiest neighborhoods in the city, Mea She’arim. “I opened a door that entered into a schvitz,” he told me. “Vapors everywhere, I can barely see. My eyes adjust, and I see an old man, my age, long white beard, a holy-looking man, sitting in the vapors. On his lap, facing away from him, is a boy, maybe seven years old. And the old man is having anal sex with this boy.”
        
        Rabbi Rosenberg paused, gathered himself, and went on: “This boy was speared on the man like an animal, like a pig, and the boy was saying nothing. But on his face—fear. The old man [looked at me] without any fear, as if this was common practice.

        More on how pedophile enablers work, from Rabbi Rosenburg who has seen this first hand:
        
        “the horrors Rabbi Rosenberg is exposing. Like the Catholic establishment, the rabbinate seeks to cover up the crimes, quiet the victims, protect the abusers, and deflect potential criticism of their institutional practices. Those who speak out are vilified, and the faithful learn to shut their mouths.
        ”

        We are seeing this here today, though at least the Agent has crawled out of the shadows, unlike his fellow travelers. Creepy to think these people are all around us and our kids! They will not speak out if our kids are abused simply because of the religion of the abuser. Repugnant but clearly true.

        Ignore the ramblings of a rather disturbed poster here. He is far too much a coward to man up and face you. I would be writing to DPF to request a strike for the offence. If he accused me of supporting paedophilia, I would also be very angry, but then the only person who knows who I am is DPF. I suppose the best way is to realise that your nom de plume does not exist as a real person, and it is only the nom de plume that has been offended. The real you can’t be touched.

        RC – if you haven’t worked out by now that pedos hide within institutions, schools, clubs etc. where children are accessible to abuse then there is no hope for you. The RC church, Jewish establishments, sporting clubs etc. aren’t in the business of providing kids for rape. Deviants are deviants and they will do and say anything to practise their deviancy and by hiding it within large institutions makes it appear systematic once it is found out. There is no ‘system of abuse’ in any organisation.
        
        And talking about enablers of sexual abuse – stop supporting the gay community at it is them who are trying to normalize sex and deviant behaviour in the minds of children. Just look at the Safe schools nonsense in Aussie which was promoted as an anti-bullying measure until one of the promoters was caught telling people that it is really about normalizing and promoting deviancy to children with the power of the state enforcing it. The gay community does support it as they don’t speak out against it, it is they who are largely at fault where ‘enabling’ is concerned.

Grid-girls complain about feminazis

Grid-girls around the world are complaining about the feminazis who have put them out of work.

Madness! This is what feminism does – all their nonsense ends up victimising women. This is all that extremists are good for, making one segment of society after another miserable.

So currently feminists have alienated:
– women who like their husbands (they don’t agree that “all men are pigs”)
– women who have sons (same re “all men are pigs”)
– sportswomen (trans-men can dominate your sport now)
– pretty women
– french women (after all they’re all like that slut Catherine deneuve who disagreed with the #MeToo inquisition)

So what women are left to take part in the feminist movement? Sporty, pretty, married with kids – they’re all alienated so it’s just; fat, ugly, spinster unbreedable types left.

The feminazis start destroying themselves:

McGowan was at the Barnes & Noble in Union Square promoting her new memoir, Brave. The evening started off typically enough, with McGowan answering pre-submitted questions from audience members, but the intensity dialed up fast when a trans woman interjected to see if the actress and activist had any comment on controversial remarks she’s made about trans women in the past.

“I have a suggestion. Talk about what you said on RuPaul. Trans women are dying and you said that we, as trans women, are not like regular women. We get raped more often. We go through domestic violence more often. There was a trans woman killed here a few blocks [away]. I have been followed home —.”
McGowan cut her off and responded:

“Hold on. So am I. We are the same. My point was, we are the same. There’s an entire show called ID channel, a network, dedicated to women getting abused, murdered, sexualized, violated, and you’re a part of that, too, sister. It’s the same,” McGowan retorted.
To which the trans woman asked:

“You do nothing for them. Trans women are in men’s prisons. And what have you done for them?”
It then apparently devolved into cross-shouting, with the trans woman being escorted out by security while chanting “white cis feminism,” and McGowan breaking into a monologue. “Don’t label me, sister,” she reportedly said. “Don’t put your labels on me. Don’t you fucking do that. Do not put your labels on me. I don’t come from your planet. Leave me alone. I do not subscribe to your rules. I do not subscribe to your language. You will not put labels on me or anybody. Step the fuck back. What I do for the fucking world and you should be fucking grateful. Shut the fuck up. Get off my back. What have you done? I know what I’ve done, Goddammit.”

People in attendance for the event started saying things like “We love you, Rose” to settle her down, but McGowan wasn’t done. “I’m not crying; I’m fucking mad with the lies,” she said. “I’m mad that you put shit on me because I have a fucking vagina and I’m white or I’m black or I’m yellow or I’m purple. Fuck off. All of us want to say it. I just do.”

And then she yelled about the truth:

“And you can label this thing as a breakdown. That, motherfuckers, is a breakdown. Maybe not for me, but for you. I might have information you want. I might know shit that you don’t. So fucking shut up. Please systemically. For once. In the world. You know what I’m talking about. Just tell the God damned truth. Stop boxing everybody into shit. I didn’t agree to your cis fucking world. Ok? Fuck off.”
And then she yelled about some other topics:

“Trans women are women and what I’ve been trying to say is that it’s the same. The stats are not that dissimilar. When you break it down, it is a much smaller population. There’s not a network here devoted to your fucking death. There’s not advertisers advertising tampons with a camera lovingly going up a girl’s body as she’s being lovingly raped and strangled. Piss off. And until you can collect that fucking check, back up. My name is Rose McGowan and I am obviously fucking brave.”

True to form Rose has been attacked on Twitter by lefties for daring speak like that to a transwoman.

Pass the fucking popcorn!

For the benefit of mush brains like Milhous, zetev, Morrissey, stupidboy, and even some normally sane folk, Alan Dershowitz is Emeritus Professor Law at Harvard. He is an acknowledged authority in c0nstitutional law, and a l0ng time Democrat who says he campaigned for Obama and Clinton, so he is not a Trump or GOP shill.

As I previously posted above, Dershowitz recommends an independent commission to dispassionately investigate the matter – not a criminal investigation because there is no known criminal offence.

The Dersh explains his position in this excellent opinion contribution where his views are never distorted or abridged (he says):

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2018/02/02/alan-dershowitz-nunes-fisa-memo-deserves-more-investigation-time-for-nonpartisan-commission.html

Meantime in NZ the weaponisation of the Courts by Peters and his shills continues. Hager’s bullshit gave rise to the now well known KDS and the malaise known as Hagerism. It is a great pity than a person with obvious talent, and in a position to present fair and balanced views, is so bitter and twisted, and apparently consumed by misdirected animus, that he carries on a ridiculous campaign against W English and others, while now giving every indication that he and his are Peters shills.
Sad !!!!!!!!!!!!

  flipper , its all over for the President and his fan base ,
  
  The Nunes Memo That Didn’t Meet the Hype
  
  If anything, it showed the Mueller investigation is on the right track.
  
  “To quote former FBI Director James Comey: That’s it? After an inexcusable buildup, House Republicans have released a memo purporting to show that the Department of Justice investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election was tainted by partisanship. Instead, the memo reveals that the investigation is legitimate — and vitally necessary.
  
  The memo, released with the blessing of Speaker Paul Ryan and President Donald Trump but over the objections of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department, expresses “concerns” over government interactions with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which must approve any FBI effort to surveil U.S. citizens. It further raises the specter of a “troubling breakdown of legal processes” in the surveillance approval process.
  
  But, to quote Comey again, these claims are dishonest and misleading. They are also refuted by the memo itself…..”

    Clutching at straws again stephie, you flakes never give up trying to see the negative side of everything. If the FBI are favouring one political party they are breaking their oath; no argument. Bloomberg seems to be anti Trump-how unusual.

There’s an agenda story being pushed in the international MSM at the moment that infamous Argentinian association football cheat /star , Maradona, has been denied a visa to enter the US because he insulted the Prez. on Venezuelan tv.

Or is this fake news again and he’s not getting a visa due to his poor character as a drug abuser with a history of violence?

Oh my lord, just heard Kim Hill interviewing a man who supports rodeo events. Kim is NZ’s answer to Cathy Newman. I was pleased that the rodeo man held his own with her. It was so funny to hear her getting more and more exasperated when he outlined the facts. I think it’s high time Kim was put out to pasture herself.

An interesting perspective on our place in the solar system can be inferred here. This looks a robust geological study to consider alongside other climate matters.
In the current world of science we will have hundreds of years notice for a deal like this, so we must support Jacinda Canute on climate change.

I’m continually amazed at wot I read on here. From implications that James Shaw and Golly are very good friends shall we say, to someone significant to the govt being before the courts, how on earth does this either 1) not attract defamation or 2) not attract the MSM????

Stuff like this matters. Or is it Pandoras box? Considering other rumours about recent departures, one is inclined to suspect the box option.

  Like you Mr Tips, I am also amazed at the low life comments on here.
  
  Some of the comments are so vile that I just wonder what sort of human being these people are.
  And they feed one another to even worse comments.
  And this is not confined only to males, some of the female comments are equally as bad.
  
  It can only be a matter of time before some low life gets his/her face before the courts.

Religion destroys morality. It is terrifying to see that we have these sort of people commenting regularly here on KB. They think speaking out is crime, not this: “This boy was speared on the man like an animal, like a pig, and the boy was saying nothing. But on his face—fear.

To them the crime is talking about it, not the rape of little boys.

…he couldn’t believe his son had been raped. Trembling, terrified, he whisked his son away to get medical help but was still too scared to raise a formal complaint. According to Ben and Survivors for Justice, “The greatest sin is not the abuse, but talking about the abuse. Kids and parents who step forward to complain are crushed.”

As for Rabbi Rosenberg, when he voiced his concerns to the rabbinate in Israel, he was brought up on charges by the mishmeres hatznuis, the archconservative Orthodox “modesty squad,” which regulates, often through threats of violence, proper moral conduct and dress in the relations between men and women. The modesty squad is a sort of Jewish Taliban. According to Rabbi Rosenberg, the rapist he caught in the act was a member of the modesty squad

You should see the lather some SJW’s are in over the temerity of a barber to open a business for Men only.

One complained on the Barber’s facebook page, so I asked her some questions about why a business for men only is such a problem.

She labelled it as “Male Nonsense” from a “Bunch of Dudes”, wouldn’t answer my questions and then changed her facebook status so that only her friends can now comment on her comments, but not before casting doubt on my ability to raise my daughter before running off to her digital safe space.

I’m calling it a win for me.

Our first homeless story since the COL came power

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11982370

Here’s an article in today’s Herald.

Whilst I have some sympathy for her.
I would like to have seen the reporter ask her why she had six children, when most people are happy with two.
And how many fathers were there, and what are they doing now?
Her new pardner is a brave man for taking on six children.
But the kicker of the story is that the guy from WINZ said she won’t be kicked out of her temporary accommodation.

And I read somewhere that WINZ have been told to lighten up.

Ie open up with our wallets.

Woman groped at Rhythm and Vines encourages others to fight back
A Daisycutter Sports Inc. GROPERS Special Item, Feb. 2, 2018

A woman who was infamously groped at the Rhythm and Vines festival has encouraged others to fight back against unwanted sexual contact.

Madeline Anello-Kitzmiller was topless with glitter and sequins covering her breasts at the New Year’s Eve music festival, when a man was caught on video running up to her and grabbing at her chest from behind.

In video footage, which has since gone viral, the 20-year-old struck back, chasing after the man down and slapping him in return.

“Ladies, if you are inspired to show some skin and fight back if anybody ever hurts you, do it,” Ms Anello-Kitzmiller said in a heartfelt video posted on social media.

“Women have been oversexualised for way too long and it needs to stop.”

Ms Anello-Kitzmiller also said that her revealing attire wasn’t unusual at the festival.

“There was actually a stall selling the ‘glitter tits’ get-up and I paid to have it done, as well as many other girls I saw walking around with it,” she said, as well as revealing there was a water slide encouraging men and women to go down naked.

“I saw plenty of naked men that day getting absolutely no harassment for revealing themselves.”

Jolene Guillam-Scott, the artist who applied the glitter, told RadioLIVE on Wednesday that she’s found the response to the incident “overwhelming”.

“It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing or what gender you are, you should not be touching anybody without consent,” she said.

That sentiment was echoed by Ms Anello-Kitzmiller, who also responded to those saying she was “asking” to be sexually assaulted by dressing a certain way.

Things have got beyond a joke since old Clark got rid of all the funny farms. A blatant example of earlier unintended consequences. Some have ended up as list MP’s in the COL while the rest are clogging up the 111 emergency services. According to Stuff who seem to be bucking the Media party trend and narrative.

Police are struggling under the weight of spiking mental health demand, with a new report revealing Tasman police were besieged by a 250 per cent increase in calls from 2009 to 2016. Elsewhere it has seems a 77% increase has been recorded. Perhaps we could seek some of those calls through an OIA since they are “recorded”?

Constable Sally Wiffen spent five days of a six day working week waiting in the Wellington hospital emergency department with a person in severe mental distress. (Don’t any of these unfortunate people have family or friends?)

Tasman police district prevention manager, (A what”) Inspector Tim Crawford, said one person experiencing a phase of acute mental distress could make more than 20 calls a month.(Tempting to try calling 111 to see what they ask callers “What is your emergency? But they are already getting too many nutters).

So instead of using the $100 million set aside in Budget 2017 for mental health the COL have initiated yet another inquiry into mental health. It might also help understand why Nash needs 1800 new police of any shape, size or sexual orientation. The plan is there but like so many other “plans” or visions there has not been any clear plan for funding. Now we see another Clark making a bigger hash of Health than the old crow King and mental health issues than the old ex PM with the woman’s name.
Check out question no 7 from 1st Feb to see the poofter jumping to Clark’s rescue and then Mallard actually telling Clark to try again with the answer. This after yet another POO to make clear the question started with “Was he aware of the $100 million allocated etc”. Lol

    Nash might be in trouble.
    
    The current Police intake in the Northern Territory, Aussie has 30 recruits. Around 25 are Kiwi cops who jumped the ditch. All from one North Island Police district.
    
    I hear many more are considering going over for better conditions and more than double the pay…..
    
    Meanwhile flip flop Greg O’Connor has gone underground. Wanker….

The Act also includes criminal offences to penalise the most serious perpetrators, and the Police will handle these cases. Under The Act it can be illegal to send messages and post material online that deliberately cause somebody serious emotional distress.

The Police may prosecute a person or company if:

they intended the communication to cause harm; and
it is reasonable to expect that a person in the position of the targeted individual would be harmed by it; and
the targeted individual suffered serious emotional distress
The court will consider a variety of factors including how widely the material spread and whether what was said was true or not. The penalties for this offence are a fine of up to $50,000 or up to two years’ jail for an individual, and up to $200,000 for a body corporate.

    You are included in the complaint that has been laid so keep it up. It’s no laughing matter to be called a pedophile repeatedly and it’s illegal in NZ regardless whether you know my identity or not. I will not sit around and be maligned by anonymous people. I have informed DPF of my intentions and will follow it through.

    It is important to keep in mind that these sorts of offences are common even outside of religious groups. This is why it is important to be open about this, so victims, and those speaking up, feel safe about coming out.
    
    Same with those people threatening to harm others.
    
    Wainuiomata man Robert John Gregory appeared in the Whanganui District Court on Wednesday on several charges including sexually violating children and threatening to kill.
    
    The 41-year-old storeperson has not yet entered pleas to eight charges, which include indecently assaulting and sexually violating young girls, threatening grievous bodily harm, and threatening to kill.

      stigie, thank you for your concern. I am genuinely fearful for my life after receiving those threats. He told me he lives in my town and has made it clear he is after me. He is trying to get my details from our host.
      
      This is a dangerous and unstable man and I am very afraid.

…..”these sorts of offences are common even outside of religious groups”…..

But the way they’re dealt with & the consequences for the complainant are vastly different.

Scenario 1#

A kid is sexually abused by the dirty old man next door or even a teacher. They tell their parents, there’s a bit of drama, then the police are asked to investigate. The child has parental support, is generally believed & counselling will be made available if needed. Above all they will end up knowing that it wasn’t their fault.

Scenario 2#

A rabbi, imam or priest abuses a kid. If the kid tells their parents there’s a good chance they will not be believed. The parents have been brainwashed sufficiently that they will not credit that the representative of their imaginary friend would do such a thing even if the evidence is in front of them.

The kid is told to shut up & if by some miracle the courts ever get to decide what happened he/she will be made to feel responsible for the “shame” they have brought upon the parents & community. On occasions the child will effectively be excommunicated from their family & friends.

This is why religious paedophiles are, if it’s possible, lower than their secular co-arseholes. They use the power their simple minded flock accord them to devastate lives & go undetected & unpunished.

  Teachers, just the same. And if you look at the stats, there’s a higher chance that a child will be molested by a teacher than a religious leader.

    Or is is just that there is a higher chance that teachers will get caught as religous people would l”never do that!”
    
    There is also a high chance of being molested by a “family member”

When Alberto “torture memo” Gonzales shits on your memo……

Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez slammed a Republican-drafted memo alledging surveillance at the Department of Justice on Friday, saying he did not have any confidence in the controversial document.

“I have no confidence whatsoever in what’s going to come out of the House,” the former attorney general under George W. Bush told Time magazine, adding, “Nunes seems to be part of the Trump team.”

    90% more memos to go drop head, and there will be prosecutions because on four occasions a Judge was misled into authorising a FISA warrant.

Spare a thought for the Kiwis and tourists caught out by the slips and flooding on the west coast around Fox and Haast.

After many hours of being trapped without food the 100 plus people trapped hearing the sound of rescue helecopters must have been music to their ears…

Sorry mate. The one chopper was on medical flight and only had some bottled water and a cake of chocolate.

As the Labour Govt was at Waitangi sucking arses they forgot to organise a rescue mission. What useless pack of front bums.

The Clinton Foundation should chip in:
http://theweek.com/speedreads/752743/dnc-reportedly-dead-broke-rnc-nearly-40-million

The Democratic National Committee had a rough 2017, plagued by leadership troubles, internal squabbling, and unflattering reports. To top it off, the party ended the year “dead broke,” says The Intercept’s Ryan Grim.

The Democratic Party is carrying more than $6 million in debt, according to year-end filings — and has just $6.5 million in the bank.
