You, Me and the GCSB Public Meetings

GCSB Meeting ChristchurchThe GCSB and TICS legislation rushed through Parliament by John Key represent the largest erosion of civil liberties this country has seen since the 1951 Waterfront Lockout. In the post Snowden world we now know a mass surveillance state operating from Washington has crept into every corner of our digital existence.

Our relationship as one of the 5 eyes of Mordor compromises our personal liberties and privacy on an industrial scale. When the GCSB legislation was NEVER allowed to spy on citizens, once caught by the Kim Dotcom investigation doing just that, John Key rammed through legislation legalising mass surveillance.

The legislation must be repealed as allowing it to remain makes us less of a democracy and more of a Police state. The fact that the NZ Police have secretly contracted in the services of  a corporate hacking team and have set up a staggering 7 servers in NZ suggests an attempt to mass surveil an entire country.

It’s like NZ is a test market for a new franchise of the big brother state.

This must be reversed, and it must be reversed this election.

    • Yeah, he is so much worse than the national party mps breaking our laws every week. damn Bradbury! lol.

    • Really? That’s what you call a response? Ok, we’ll humour you. Please list your examples that illustrate why what you just said isn’t, as it appears at first glance to be, a load of complete and utter gobshite. We’d hate for readers to get the wrong idea.

    • @IGM – ah no.

      John Key holds that honour all on his own. There is no one in NZ, who comes anywhere close to Key’s treason!

    • I always wondered why NZ invested in, apparently, the most powerful computer in the southern hemisphere, “to predict the weather”. It never sat well with me that one and I do believe it may be being used for other reasons. We will never know as JK has made it impossible to get information from the GCSB, his mates’ playground. He really is a windup doll for the americans, someone else calls him, america’s man on the ground, in parnell.

    • IGM – your comment has to be the closest I’ve ever observed to illustrating someone who has lost their grasp of commonsense & reality.

  1. Ann
    The left can reveal all about the computer when they get Into power on the 20 September or is this just another way out conspiracy theory .

    • JIMC
      Your whole existence is now being stored inside a foreign library half way around the globe, and you appear to be smug with that comment and quite relaxed about being studied like a labrat.

      Tonight a press release of US Military study is being carried out by military ops actually feeding this kind of garbage into chat blogsites to see how people react to their blog statements.

      Are you actually one of them?

      If so state why?

  2. I’m glad you understand these concepts.

    Obviously JK doesn’t.

    Roll on “Democracy”.

  3. Ahhh yes, the good old boys at the GCSB – I can’t understand why everyone gives them such a hard time? I mean they’re only doing their treasonous duty of helping sell our nation’s sovereign heart & our democracy’s soul to the Satan beast in Washington.

    I mean ShonKey’s fawning crush on anything & everything US is unstoppable – fluffy even, sooooo romantic and too cute. His mates in Hollywood should make a pulp-fiction romantic-action flick out of it entitled: “Barry-O & ShonKey at the golf course up a tree. . .K I S S I N G”

    I mean who’d blame ShonKey for wanting to put the interests of a war criminal a.k.a Barack Obama; and the interests of increasing US hegemony before the interests of ALL NZ Citizens? I mean ShonKey is the CEO after all – where the fuck are our manners people?

    I mean Peace is not in the best interests of the MIC et al. Do you realise how many jobs Peace would ruin? This message proudly brought to you by GE – “You know we’re rolling in it – money that is. And you’re soaking in it – blood that is.”

    I mean anywhere Israel goes, so do the Terrorist States of America 100% certified, supported & fully arming them. Anywhere Israel & the United Stasi-States go, we do too! I mean ShonKey’s Mom, I mean Mum, was Jewish after all – got that you runny nosed little Jew hater?

    I mean there is so much we have to thank the GCSB for – I always wanted to go to East Germany – and look sheeple here we are!

    I mean the good old boys at the GCSB know how much we love our CEO that they are kindly rigging political polls for us, so as to remind us there’s no point voting in this year’s general election! Because #TeamKey says it’s a forgone conclusion it must be true. . .

    Thanks GCSB we love you too – just as much as your lying CEO!

    • One wonders what all the fuss is about. Governments need to know whats going on in there back yard, simple. Give me the so called demon USA any day over the rest of the heavy powers. One should not fear the gathering of information, only if it is not used for the intended purpose. If one thinks that no kiwi needs to be kept an eye on, then one is living in a dream. Naive lot you buggers are.

  4. “It’s like NZ is a test market for a new franchise of the big brother state.

    This must be reversed, and it must be reversed this election.”

    This is an awesome initiative Martyn.

    Yes indeed! NZ have already been subjected to the test run, according to Australia media. So this next move must be the final outcome.

    trea·son
    [tree-zuhn] Show IPA
    noun
    1.
    the offense of acting to overthrow one’s government or to harm or kill its sovereign.
    2.
    a violation of allegiance to one’s sovereign or to one’s state.
    3.
    the betrayal of a trust or confidence; breach of faith; treachery.

    Personally, I believe that John Key has committed Treason at numbers 2 and 3 above.

    I cannot see any of 1, 2, or 3 above sitting with Martyn.

    And if you really think it through, John Key could also come under the category 1 above, if you take into account that he has set up another of his crony mates as our governor-general, meaning that we, as citizens no longer get any true representation to our sovereign, and that would obviously cause harm to our sovereign.

    John Key fits number 3 easily.

    He couldn’t be charged with Treason when him and his international crony mates all but bankrupted Ireland, because he is not an Irish citizen – but he can be ‘done’ for what he has and continues to do against NZ, in the name of money, and corruption, and cronyisms.

    Opinion and belief.

    • Yes Shonkey actually teamed up with a New York slime currency trader and forced the Kiwi dollar down back in 1980’s so he is capable of anything and so scary too. blog http://www.stuff.co.nz/sunday-star-times/features/249633/Who-is-John-Key

      In 1988 John Key “formed what was to be a lucrative relationship with 32-year-old currency trader Andy Krieger, based at Bankers Trust in New York, who began putting hundreds of millions of dollars of business through Key’s dealing room.

      Krieger was the man who a few months earlier had entered forex legend with a massive speculative raid on the kiwi. As Krieger later explained in his book The Money Bazaar, he believed the kiwi was overvalued, and began betting on a fall, selling the New Zealand dollar heavily. Once the currency had found what he believed to be a floor, he bought again at a much lower price, making a profit on the transaction.

      This is standard stuff, but Krieger staked so much on the bet, it was said to be more than the entire money supply of New Zealand. And the size of his sell orders, hundreds of millions of dollars at a time, allied with the relative scarcity of New Zealand currency in circulation, meant he was able to push the kiwi down. ” source – Stuff.

    “The government is merely a servant — merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them…” — Mark Twain

  6. The biggest joke of all is the National Party billboards with the words ” working for New Zealand” when we know they are working for the US Government, the FBI, Corporations- anything and anyone BUT New Zealand.

  7. Does anyone have a concern about CCTV surveillance of public places and the promotion of same by the NZ Police?

    • Andrew, the CCTV surveillance has been around for years, particularly outside pubs. There is also the traffic cam, and google earth.
      Police, private detectives, and other government agencies already use this – do this spying.
      You probably already know this ay.

      Opinion.

  8. Orwellian state here now.

    Unsettling to us all, so get out and call on all your friends to vote this NAZI mob out come September.

    Vigilance is the price of freedom and National has taken our freedom and gifted it to foreign interests.
