1. Once again our local paper has made a few thousand bucks via an
Auckland based pressure group: C. Costello, Suite 311,184 Symonds St Auckland
[not exactly a cheap location] but it’s OK because she is sponsored by Hobson’s
Pledge and it is sponsored by multi-millionaire types like Peter Shirtcliffe
and such like.
When big money is being used to
stop something from occurring within our multi-cultural communities? We all
need to look deeper at their propaganda material. When people like Don Brash
and his ilk who we all know are anti-anything-Maori.
We need to ask ourselves if there are
some other secret or covert reasons why these people are so anti-Maori. Why do
they keep calling our ‘agreed’ political system ‘Race’ based? We’ve had it for
a hundred years…all political parties support it. National, Labour, the Greens,
even NZ First these days, none of these parties are seeking to abolish the
Maori Seats in our Parliament. So why are they spending hundreds of thousands
to block progressive political behaviour.
Modern thinking balanced New
Zealanders have got over the ‘White’ is right dream of the Don Brash era. He
failed to win an election and his party tossed him out, so he joined the ACT
party and even they were glad to see him depart. They didn’t actually sack him
because the country as a whole sacked ACT.
I suppose the good thing [if you can call it
that] is that our local paper pulls in a few extra dollars from that Suite in
Auckland. Here in Palmerston North real people are supporting Councillor’s who
voted for Maori Wards, you see we’ve grown up, we learned from history. We’ve
had Maori seats in Parliament for years and years…have Maori taken over
Parliament, no they have not. Ask yourself why, the answer is obvious, because
they [Maori] are not the majority. You are not giving Maori anything; we all
only get one vote. So don’t be fooled by big money, bull-shit propaganda from
outside our region.
2. Nurses and their aids really run
our health services where ever they are found, Doctors are important because
they help direct some activities that the Nurses undertake. One without the
other means failure in both the short and long term. Today our local community
and hospital nurses and their support people assembled to let the public know
of just how badly run down our health and nursing services are.
Wage increases for CEO’s of the local DHB’s
have risen at an rapid rate over the last nine years [Our local CEO receives over
$450.000 per year] where as other factors like nurses salaries have been
static, in fact some working in the health care area have actually seen a
decline. We all now know just how bad maintenance and upkeep of our hospitals
has been over the last decade.

| Future NZ Nurse joins the supporters |
This morning on a grey damp day
hundreds gathered in the Square to demonstrate their concern over our run down
health services. Just imagine if Hobson’s Pledge trust spent some of their
massive funding in half page ads for the Nurses. But alas don’t hold your
breath…
3. While
Donald Trump edges the world closer and closer to a universal and never ending
war. Those countries that belong to the US led Five Eyes intelligence
structure, [Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand] seem simply to follow
whatever path the US instructs us to follow they even tell us what to say and
do as well as when to say it.

| Key was a much smoother version of Trump. |
Maybe you, like I, see Trump as an
idiot. Of course the term idiot means many things to different people. Can you
be an idiot and still manipulate the system so you pay as little tax as possible.
According to our very own morals
expert John Key that’s OK.
I suppose you could call a person
that does this an educated idiot. Likewise you could call a sexist who likes to
grab ‘pussy’ a sexual idiot.
This sort of person is just loved
by our media, for you don’t have to investigate Trump because he simply tweets
and the media and particularly media such as ‘Fox’ news push his every
utterance in an extremely idiotic and child-like manner.
Since John Key NZ has become very
much a tool of US foreign and financial policy. Key saw clearly the gains to be
made by the money wheeler dealers of sheep-like following of US and Corporation
directives.
Of course he was one of those
leaches who feed on the greed of others by organising deals that included huge
bonuses for him. This was made clear to the NZ public when Key organised a
donation of millions to the Clinton Foundation, which in turn was then used to
assist Clinton during the last US Presidential election. Yet again Key backed
the wrong horse and we lost millions.
This of course was par for the course;
Key never gambled with his own money, he only gambled with others money. And
when he lost big he would creep away and hide for a while. He did that just
before he brought the leadership of the National Party after fleeing the US.
Our media has never fully
investigated this miss-use of tax payer funds.
New Zealand has for the last
decade become simply a very humble follower rather than a leader in the area of
foreign policy. Just what we stand for now days are difficult to put into
words. Our media publishes more about US politics; our newspapers are full
Donald Trump’s meaningless tweets. His sacking of anyone he takes a disliking
too, especially those who question his fitness [mental and moral] to be
President, or his behaviour regarding his business connections to Russia and
Israel.
Did John Key’s behaviour equal the behaviour of Donald Trump? Short answer yes! John was and is a much smoother
operator that Trump, Trump deals in billions while Key has to make do with
millions. Have a look at Key’s behaviour when compared with Nicky Hager, one is
a habitual liar, you decide which one.
It seems to me that Key got out at
the right time, National had run out of friends, run out of the manipulative
skills of public miss-direction and acceptable and plausible lies.
Like all those who base their
careers on ego he was never going to hang around to be defeated at the polls,
so he did his usual and slid out with a Knighthood and a lifelong tax-payer
funded pension, along with directorships in Air New Zealand. A position he used
to get an all-expenses paid holiday for his golfing buddy Obama. So even after
he pulled out of politics to avoid a defeat he still continues to manipulate
his own social welfare.
Based on the above it would appear
that idiots can become leaders or dictators, selfish men and women can rip off
the public purse. Sadly though it would seem that the biggest idiots in the
political world of NZ are us the voters, the recipients of the political spin
and media supported propaganda that floods our communications, particularly TV
and the Newspapers.
