Jordan Petterson the Canadian bringer of wisdom and other acts of stupidity Wheelers Corner 11 2nd March 2019...

Jordan Peterson...Master-mind or super con-man?

 People [males mainly] are happy to pay from $70 to $270 bucks to listen to this, beef loving, very biblical, and pro-male, I think, so-called self-improvement expert give advice, at a price, on how to live ones life.

Nothing new in that, individuals have been doing it for hundreds of years, religious, political and social individuals have been doing this forever and ever, but today it has as much to do with making money as any real desire to change behaviour of the masses.
All behaviour is learned so it goes without saying that behaviour can be unlearned...but hey these days money rules the roost...

Oh dear me what people will do for money, fame and glory...A new guru, a new source of wisdom for the masses. So lets take a look at what some people have said about this yet another new Canadian master mind visiting to sell a product:

 "OPINION: How much would I have to pay you to sit through a two-hour self-help sermon, peppered with relentless biblical references, delivered by a misogynist? A lot of young men, some older men and a baffling number of women paid between $70 and $270 to experience such torture. (Fellow columnist Martin van Beynen also attended, and had a different take.)

I am talking about the drab monologue burped out by celebrity pop psychologist Jordan Peterson on Wednesday at his sold-out Theatre Royal show in Christchurch.

I understand why men turned up - Peterson has said things like "the masculine spirit is under assault"; The patriarchy makes sense because men are naturally more competent; Violent attacks are what happens when men do not have partners, and monogamy is the answer for that. He's also an inspiration, in the way Logan Paul is an inspiration. He has lucked his way into making US$80,000 a month from his Youtube channel in donations alone". Go to:

Simon [build no] Bridges says the CGT is a tax on a tax!...so he will no doubt move to remove GST from rates [which is a tax]...but wait it was the Nats who upped GST from 12.5% to 15% after they promised not to do so...] 

Poor old Simon and his house owning mates, who are yet once again on the wrong side of the river without a bridge!

COMMUNITY PROTEST: Government appointee to MCHB maintains his autocratic approach to community: Duffy acts like duffy-duck:

This from from: Cr. Brent Barrett

Thanks to co-host Lorna Johnson and to all you amazing people who shared the event on social media and who invited friends and who showed up and who were with us in spirit.

What a wonderful group of people supporting Te Hā o Hine-ahu-one Palmerston North Women’s Health Collective

Jean Hara, Dr Anna Skinner and Mayor Grant Smith did a wonderful job representing to the Board on the value and vital services the Collective provides in our community.

The vote was held shortly after.

Barbara Robson, Karen Naylor, Michael Feyen and Barbara Cameron voted to honour the existing contract.

Adrian Broad, Brendan Duffy, Ann Chapman, Diane Anderson, Dot McKinnon, and Oriana Paewai voted to cut the existing contract.

So the final count was 6 - 4 to cut the Collective's contract.

Not the result we wanted, but together we will press on!

Looking ahead, we will all need to keep supporting the Collective as they work to secure funding to sustain their work. Will be in touch!

Kia kaha Te Hā o Hine-ahu-one Palmerston North Women’s Health Collective!!!

My View:
Brendon Duffy continues to display his well known usual dictatoral style with his comments...which brought laughter from the public present. Little could have been expected from Cr. Adrian Broad that great backer of Toyota...read the full report from the MS: https://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/news/110869144/protest-fails-to-save-womens-health-collective

Checking out how each board member voted is very interesting, remember that those appointed members were appointed by the the National Government. The Brendan Duffy type depends on doing what the boss says hoping that will get him reappointed, since he lost out to Michael Feyen in the Horowhenua local election. to learn more about 'Duffy' ducks history go to: https://vimeo.com/95914061?ref=fb-share&1=

Picture Lisa Wheeler London 2018

The big brave President of the US who avoided Vietnam like the plaque, and bull-shitted his way out of serving his country. Well the truth is now public...

A Criminal in the Oval Office? 

Michael Cohen Accuses Trump of Lying, Racism & Illegal Activity
AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now! I’m Amy Goodman. President Trump’s former personal attorney and fixer, Michael Cohen, has accused his old boss of committing multiple criminal acts before and after he became president. Cohen made the charges during more than five hours of explosive public testimony on Capitol Hill Wednesday.

If you have the time have a quick listen to or read of Trumps Lawyers defence of various criminal behaviours of dear Donald Trump, coward and draft dodger, tax crook and sexist nut case. If ever a Extinction Rebellion movement was needed its in the United States. Trump is gearing up for a take over of yet another oil rich country...that should take the peoples minds off his criminal history...
