Jane Kelsey:
‘The National Government will today ignore widespread opposition from ordinary New Zealanders when it signs the secretly negotiated deal. Doubtless we’ll be fed the old Anzus line that New Zealand can’t afford to not to be at the table.
National’s glitzy new “TPP fact” page is bad wine repackaged in new bottles. Here’s a few facts they don’t tell you. The projected economic gains of 0.9 per cent of GDP by 2030 are within their own margin of error, even before costs are factored in and disregarding unrealistic modelling.
More than 1600 US companies, the most litigious in the world, will gain new rights they can enforce through private offshore tribunals if/when regulation damages their value or profits.
The agreement guarantees foreign states and corporations a right of input into regulatory decisions, which Maori, trade unions, small businesses and local government would not have.
National never wanted us to debate these and other issues and hid instead behind a shroud of secrecy…’

Let’s pray a couple of our friends there are ok:
‘Dozens of homes destroyed, damaged as twisters tear through Deep South’

‘..Consider, we’re fair game for the Protect And Serve kleptocrats that stop us on the highway and rob us of what cash they find. We’ve been duped into involuntary servitude to support a whole ‘nuther population—the improvident by choice, incurious and violent by nature. And when we entrust our kids to the schools, they come back despising their heritage and themselves. Who would respect such a people?
What would undo generations of being lied to, lied about, swindled, taunted and baited, belittled, betrayed, robbed, mocked and insulted? An angry letter to The Times? Righteous outrage on the internet? Another upset at the polls? In the hard times ahead, which will we regret more, becoming the people we’re accused of being, or not becoming the people we’re accused of being?..’

‘Establishment Fantasists Brand PEGIDA ‘Far Right’ And Calls Left Wing Thugs ‘Anti Fascists’, The Reality Is Much Different
Anne Marie Waters:
This is an extraordinary situation we are in. Leaders all over Europe continue to change our continent beyond all recognition and label those of us who object as immoral, as monsters. A complicit media sustains this falsehood by dutifully labelling Pegida “far-Right” and the thugs who threaten us as “anti-fascists”.
We are living in a Europe of two realities – actual reality and the one manufactured by our leaders.
…..Only courage can defeat tyranny, and telling the truth in the current political climate, is the most courageous act of all.’

‘Mob of drunken teens surround family home, terrorise girl inside’
And if the father had confronted them armed with a firearm in order to protect his daughter, HE would be behind bars right now.
This is insane.

A new post
‘..It’s telling that the only real pushback against the third world invasion of the West has come from football hooligans and motorcycle gangs – counter-cultural fraternities which exist outside of polite society and have their own codes of honour and personal loyalty…’

‘Leftwing Guardian to CLOSE Comment Sections On Articles About ‘Immigration and Islam’…’

‘The faces of the babies Australia wants to send back to ‘hell’ on Nauru’
Sentimental, manipulative emotional horse shit. Blame those responsible for their time on Nauru – the would-be invaders who claim to be “refugees” . Which is why they destroyed their identity papers as soon as a Navy vessel hove into sight.
The parents are responsible for this, not Australians. Gillian Triggs is a tool of leftist “refugee advocates” and the Labor Party who should have been sacked a long time ago.

‘Be afraid:How Donald Trump really sees the world’
The text of the (unattributed) article in NO WAY supports that headline. The NZ Herald is a slimy little socialist rag.
