A history lesson for National and Labour.

Why is the main stream overseas owned media [which fully supports the National Party] so concerned about the loss taken by the Labour Party?
They all shout and scream for Cunliffe blood and shout the hypocritical praise on Labour MP’s like Stuart Nash who won back Napier with the massive help of a Conservative nutter better known for his desire to lock up the NZ population in privately owned prisons, his name Garth McVicker a mental case if ever there was one. And McVicker was only around .8% short of being in governments with John Key

Oh what short and distorted memories some people have. Somewhere along the way our so called media clones like Paul Henry [a failed National candidate] seems to have forgotten an earlier moment in our history; a moment that makes Cunliffe and Labours defeat look like a victory, not a massive defeat. Then:

The National Party was led by none other than Simon William "Bill" English (born 30 December 1961) English entered parliament in 1990 as a National party MP representing the Wallace electorate.

 In 1999 English served as Minister of Finance for a brief period until National, under the unelected leadership of Jenny Shipley at the time, but she then lost the election later that year. In October 2001 he replaced Shipley as the leader of the National Party, but after a disastrous result in the 2002 election where the National Party won only 20% of the vote he was quickly replaced as the leader of the completely humiliated National Party by the strange and odd racist Don Brash in October 2003. And who later became yet another nutty leader of the Act Party… [John Keys bed-fellows]

English becomes leader of the Opposition

In October 2001, dissatisfaction with party leader Jenny Shipley had failed to abate, and English secured the backing of a majority of National Party MPs. English replaced Shipley as head of the National Party and thus as Leader of the Opposition.

However, English failed to improve the party's performance. In the 2002 elections, National suffered its worst electoral defeat ever, gaining barely more than twenty percent of the vote. Both party insiders and the general public were split as to how much to blame English for this loss, but most of the party believed that English would be able to rebuild National's support.

By late 2003, however, National's performance in opinion polls remained poor. The party had briefly increased its popularity in the year following the election, but by October its support had fallen to levels only slightly better than what it achieved in the last ballot.

The National Party had three defeats in a row and after having the leadership hijacked and purchased by returning derivatives manipulator and now millionaire John Key, he set about ensuring that his 2IC was and could never be a menace to his take-over of the PM’s position, so he opted for failed Bill English as his impossible successor.

But the point that needs to be understood here is that after the absolute collapse of National after its horrific association with sacked National Party minister and then leader of the NZ first party Winston Peters who was sacked yet again by Jenny Shipley, and who is now chief adviser to Chinese dairy companies   

So what happened at this latest election is nothing new, it doesn’t mean the world has fallen in, it means that for now dirty politics works, that the sneaky hand of Cameron Slater, the rip-off abilities of Simon Lusk, the creepy behaviour of black Ops spin doctor and now paid and departed Jason Ede along with the introduction of Key’s best school buddy and now boss of the GCSB Ian Fletcher it means that Key has wrapped up his position and when coupled via Steven Joyce to the MSM and Judith Collins to the Justice and Police departments and not forgetting other fully controlled clone ministers too numerous to list, the road ahead for anyone with democratic emotions will be under attack…while Ede has fled and taken his loot someone else has replaced him we just don't know whom.

The fact is as the poor get poorer and rich grow fatter the rich life style will become threatened hence you won’t find Key selling his mansion in Hawaii…  

Life will go on, the Labour Party will get over its ego and in the end a new leader will arise. He or she may move in from overseas and the leadership will survive.  Just as John Key did using all his ill-gotten gains from ripping off overseas countries. Yesterday and even still today some call that corrupt behaviour smart, some idiots even call it intelligent, but history may tell a different story. 

History may tell us that Key was in fact a expert follower rather than a leader, he has meekly followed Obama and other leaders to hell and back as they murder on a massive scale, followed corrupt but rewarding Chinese millionaires, followed the Bank of America and Merrill Lynch into bankruptcy and bailout mode and judging by our massive overseas debt is directing us down the same rotten path. He has been and still is a super YES man. But not to worry we are Hobbits and Hobbits simply obey…that is until we revolt…and that may not be so very far away...whats a year or two... 

Black Ops' comes out from under a rock.

‘Black Ops’ Boss finds missing back-bone.

Jason 'Black Ops' Ede

Spin doctor Jason Ede has come out from under his rock, washed off the slime, checked his bank account and trust fund…saw that the expected payments have been made from the National Party account…with a good sized bonus…so he then carried out his agreed side of the deal and handed in his resignation…from his role as hacker of computer programmes and go between for Cameron Slater and Wayne Eagleson, Aaron Bhatnagar, Simon Lusk, Cathy Odgers and Carrich Graham [the tobacco and booze pusher].

F and C Slater...

Cameron Slater has turned on poor wee Jason Ede and called him squeamish and gutless because of his unwillingness at failing to speak out when New Zealand’s top Investigative journalist Nicky Hager dropped the bombshell in his now bestselling book ‘Dirty Politics’ about how the Prime Minister and Justice Minister Judith Collins used this rag-tag bunch of National Party and John Key bootlickers to blacken the reputations of various people in both the opposition parties and even members of the National Party whom they disliked.

In calling Jason Ede squeamish and gutless Slater was being rather polite his normal language consists of words beginning with the letters F and C.

Still in announcing Ede’s departure the PM told Radio-Live [that highly intelligent radio station that Steven Joyce invests our tax-payers money in]

 

“That he would not agree with how Ede was characterised in Dirty Politics, but after 11 years of loyal service, Ede had decided it was time to move on and do something different. Slater has previously slammed Ede's refusal to front over the allegations, describing him as "squeamish" and gutless". "You are all claiming there is this vast conspiracy - it simply doesn't exist. That Jason Ede is some sort of ringmaster? In my view, Jason Ede is squeamish, and gutless," he told the New Zealand Herald. "And the fact he has gone to ground and hiding and not speaking to anybody suggests that's true."

Instead it issued a short statement.

"Jason Ede advised of his resignation, effective immediately, on Friday. Along with the Prime Minister and his office, we thank Jason for his 11 years of service to the National Party and wish him well for his future."

The party would not be making any further comment. 

 The National Party is refusing to elaborate this afternoon on Ede's resignation, declining a Fairfax request to speak with party president Peter Goodfellow. [Quote ends]

The truth is more likely that Peter Goodfellow is busy chatting to Chinese millionaires now the election is over…

So it would seem, as always the PM is gutless and would sooner buy off failures by allowing them to resign and paying them a big bonus. How much do you think it was? My guess is between ten and fifty thousand dollars…along with a free holiday in Hawaii…

Reward for Jason Ede

Which one is Jason Ede [Top left] all the others are well known crap artists.

Where is Jason Ede?

Who is Jason Ede? This from the Jackal blog

Jason Ede is another go-between John Key and the National party employs to pass information on to their attack bloggers. Paid as a ministerial services staff member, Ede is in fact working directly for National's black op's team to undermine the opposition by passing on sensitive information, writing articles for and coaching right wing bloggers like Cameron Slater and David Farrar.

Jason Ede is in effect being paid by the taxpayer to promote the National party, which is clearly against the rules and raises further concerns about other ways the National party might be misusing taxpayer’s money. Clearly National isn't allowed to use public funds to secretly publish its propaganda attacking opposition parties through a third party.

In light of his role in the Dirty Politics scandal, John Key has tried to distance himself from the deceitful and unscrupulous Jason Ede. At the same time, Ede himself has tried to distance himself from those in the National party who were instructing him and the bloggers he was in turn working with to smear opposition parties.

Last Sunday, Stuff reported:

Jason Ede still has Beehive access

Prime Minister John Key says he can't explain why "black ops" spin doctor Jason Ede still has a staff access card to Parliament.

Ede is at the centre of claims in Nicky Hager's Dirty Politics book, in which it is alleged he fed gossip, research and tips to Whaleoil blogger Cameron Slater.

Paid by the taxpayer as a ministerial services staff, Ede is also accused of infiltrating a Labour party database, which contained sensitive personal information. Slater said the website was insecure.

Ede was spotted in the Parliamentary complex last week - with a security access swipe card - despite National saying he is employed by them at the party's Wellington head office.

The dismally pathetic Jason Ede would have been trying to cover his tracks and attempting to remove evidence of his underhanded crimes against democracy. The problem for him and National is that there will still be a record of his collusion with their attack bloggers, because it appears the idiot propagandist used computers in Parliament that log all activity. This should make any investigation into his scurrilous activity and the evidence it uncovers pretty self-evident.
While John Key is trying to say that Jason Ede no longer works for the National party, he clearly does. In light of this lie you’ve got to wonder what exactly it will take for the Prime Minister to put his foot down and actually sack somebody.  Not only is Jason Ede a weak willed individual, it appears, through his inaction that the leader of the National party is as well. Jackal ends report.

It would appear that Key’s personal connections to the head of the GCSB and the appointment of yet another close acquaintance of the PM to the top job at the SIS has meant the Jason Ede can move at will between the Prime Minister’s Office and the National Party office in Wellington.

It has been rumored that Jason Ede could well be hiding out in a secret location in possibly Hawaii working to assist Cameron Slater develop public relations programmes for the Israeli government and which have already appeared on his now highly discredited Whale-oil blog site.

As the evidence above shows Jason Ede is not the brightest spark in the Slater / Farrar / Lusk / Odgers / Graham and Hotchin chain of once secret dirt diggers and takers of National Party kick-backs.

We know that Cameron Slater has broken the law and has been ordered by the courts to reveal his information sources, and that dozens of companies that once advertised on his blog site have now pulled their ads. Farrar is so entwined with Key and the Nats that trying to hide him would be impossible, after all the MSM rely on his input as they rarely carry out any investigative journalism these days…its press releases or nothing now days.

Lusk loves hunting and has most likely gone bush, but not before counting his cash payments from a half dozen National Party MP’s for getting them nominated for safe seats…Odgers lives in [at the moment] in Hong Kong where she works for a strange bunch of Chinese millionaires who may be planning to assassinate Nicky Hager, at least according to her really foul mouth e-mails, the language is so bad that it couldn’t be published in my unpretentious blog site.

So there you go, we’ve got three more years of this back stabbing and underhand official behaviour from John Key and Co…but don’t worry, if you are rich you’ll get a tax cut in three years’ time…yeah right…

The official reward has just risen to Ten thousand dollars for the where-a bouts of Jason Ede. Please contact Mr John Key Prime Minister of NZ at: [mailto:hq@national.org.nz] to claim the reward.  

Children the Polls and you.

On Saturday groups marched for the elimination of child poverty, yet the media was silent…but it still had time to praise the Prime Minister on the number of ‘Selfies’ he’s getting, as against the number that David Cunliffe receives… how intelligent is that. Really deep and political don’t you think…so full of wisdom and deep intelligence…selfies decide leaders abilities. It is beyond believe that we are being led by the nose by a bunch of so-called journalist who are out and out biased and bigoted and one eyed.

So-called journalists like National Party psychotic supporter John Armstrong who gets paid to write National party advertising for the NZ Herald. The latest beat-up that has been spread to the MSM desk sitters by Slimy Slater has been a bit of mischief by the countries biggest crap artist Cameron Slater the blogger and Israeli NZ PR man. Slater was the guy who pushed the bull***t story about the $100,000 bottle of wine etc that the NZ Herald lept at with great gusto and later had to admit was simply not true.

It was really funny last week to hear that great fan of ex Act party leader John Banks Michele Boag said on morning TV that Hone Harawira had gone missing and it was odd because Whale-oil blogger Cameron Slater that foul smelling sewer dweller said the very same thing…and straight away Michele Boag spouts the very same words and believe it or not later the next day the Prime says the very same words yet again…so its plain to see that Slater is still writing the script for the PM and his cronies. It would not come as a shock to find that Key is paying Slater’s legal costs via one of his his many family trusts, maybe the one where he hides his secret trans-rail shares. Thinking about the lies told by John Key and comparing them to the ‘above reproach’ behaviour of Hone Harawira.

Here is a short list of Keys lies, untruths, omissions and other strange behaviour, that the media simply washes over…

 The fellow who put this picture together was really rather kind in that he suggests that Key simply forgot these events when in fact he actually lied about each of them.

I mean can you believe that Key never understood how he felt about the 1981 rugby tour

or having breakfast with Ian Fletcher who flew across the ditch to have that meeting with Key as his [Fletcher’s] leave application proves. Yet John Armstrong [NZH] and that other elderly so-called journalist Vernon Small who takes his cheque from Fairfax while carrying out script writing for the National Party believed every word, no investigative work, no confirming the facts…unlike Nicky Hagar in his book ‘Dirty Politics’ now there is an investigative reporter worth the name…he makes John Armstrong and Vernon Small look like amateurs.

So as you make your way to the polling booth, remember the lies, the memory loss and remember the two hundred and fifty thousand kids living in poverty…right here in most likely the most food productive country in the world…we have hungry children going to school without breakfast, and the best the government can do is take so-called gifts from Sanitarium who as a Church Based organisation pay next to no tax. 

While we lower the tax for people like John Key it is shameful. Vote for who you wish and I truly mean that, just ask the questions: 

1. Will I be helping those 250.000 children, 
2. will I assist in creating a fairer society, 
3. will I be helping to develop a more democratic environment as well as a greener one. 
4. Will my vote help achieve a liveable wage? 
5. And offer hope to be able to own ones own home.

If you find a political party that can achieve the above, or at least work toward your goals then maybe you should tick that party...

Here is a reply to this blog by Peter Grove...

Peter,

You got it in one with today’s post. I have been appalled at the bullshit written by Armstrong quite frankly. I use to watch The Nation and Q & A on Sundays until they were taken over by smarmy Tory Lovers. Their guests for their panels are equally disgusting, The Pommy Git who has so much to say about everything, Clare Robinson who is clearly deep down, a Tory supporter. Mike Williams ex-president of the Labour Party has never been much better About their best guest ever has been Helen Kelly. she keeps firmly to her CTU line in all things.

Regarding Child Poverty. A back bencher raking in an excess of $150,000 salary can have absolutely NO concept of the difficulties faced by our families, may of them on benefits, trying to raise their families. The working for Families racket is just that, as is the Housing Supplement which is seen as a direct subsidy to rapacious land lords. This country is in a far worse position now than it was in the dark days of the 1930’s and the great Depression. My dad was a skilled artisan Blacksmith, Railway Workshop trained, who due to no fault of his own was forced into the ignominy of Relief Work, scratching weeds off the roads for

the princely sum of 27/6 a week, to support his wife and two children. This was a great leveller and often he would work in the company of lawyers and other office wallahs, down on their luck. I can still remember my Mum standing in the lounge crying because there was just NO money. Pater was later employed by the Fletcher Construction Company as a carpenter. What a waste of his skills. He stuck it out for some ten or twelve years until he was able to retire on the then, Old Age Pension of 30/- a week. Mum was slightly better off with her five pound a week housekeeping allowance and my 10/- week family benefit.

Some of Henry Lawson’s books are a good testimony to life in those early days, certainly in Australia. ‘While the Billy Boils’ is one and vividly illustrates the difficulties of life in  those times.

Those were before the days of State Advances Corporation, and Building Societies, which all helped to get New Zealanders into their own homes. The group Housing Scheme was brought into existence and Builders in the scheme were able to provide fully serviced sections and a house of your choice which met the lending criteria of two and a half thousand pounds. I built my first house under that scheme. It wasn’t a palace but it had three bedrooms, and was under 1,000 square feet in area. For those people who for some reason or other had no chance of building or owning a house there was State Housing which at the same time was being carried on apace. MWD was charged with opening up habitable land, roading it and installing services, drainage, water and electricity. Huge contracts for houses were let, initially to Fletcher Residential Construction which employed hundreds of men, tradesmen and otherwise in a massive production line that took timber from the mills, processed it into 4x2s mainly and assembled house frames in specially set up framing mills. The frames were delivered in their truckloads to the construction sites where the building team had prepared foundations, sleepers and joists in readiness to receive the frames which were then stood up, braced and straightened. Meanwhile back at the framing mills the roofs were being set out and precut ready for delivery to the sites to be assembled, once the ceiling joists were in place. A feature of the State Housing schemes was that where-ever possible all the various components were sourced and made in NZ. Locks and door handles, who can forget those clumsy bakelite, yet serviceable door handles, and the nasty little Nippy catches that adorned every cupboard door.  Wall linings were Gib board and ceilings Pinex. Exterior linings were weatherboard, brick or asbestos sidings. Metters foundry here in Petone was engaged full time

producing cast iron baths The concrete manufacturers were producing concrete roof tiles to be fixed by gangs of tilers going from house to house. I  have produced virtually miles and miles of tile battens during my time in one of the framing mills, as well as unloading and stacking timber from railway wagons, in all sizes. To be broken down into 4x2 for framing and roofing. That was a continuous process and the framing gang, which produced the house frames numbered eight or ten men who could produce a complete house frame every day, to be later craned on to a truck for delivery to the building sites. You can perhaps imagine the demands made on me and my ripsaw!

In the period 1935-1970 somewhere in the vicinity of 70,000 state houses were built. That shows up the impossibility of promises of 100,000 houses by David Cunliffe, and a new house every day from Nick Smith made on 31 March 2013. No-

one took into account the fact that our timber mills are working to quotas due to the demand for logs for export, or due to the antics of Roger Douglas and his cronies, our former excellent apprentice training schemes have been disbanded and

handed over to the Battery Hen environments of the Polytechs. I supress a laugh every time I drive past a house building enterprise set up on a vacant site in Petone where groups of budding builders are producing ready built houses for later sale and removal to eventual building sites. The site on which they are being produced is level concrete paving. How can those kids possibly consider themselves to be builders having never been exposed to the actual conditions of building sites, undulating land, and mud up past their knees in winter, Smelly long-drop toilets, in danger of being pushed over by playful workmates when occupied, draughty uncomfortable lunch sheds and generally poor working conditions

due to the need to turn out in all weathers, due to the carefully engineered demise of the Trade Unions, which were so instrumental in improving the conditions of ALL workers. High Viz Jackets do not good tradesmen make! Chippies of my generation understood well, all the privations of working outside and had strategies that ensured their continuing survival. These induced a fierce pride among us which was quite universal.
