Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.

Moderation rules are more lenient for this section, but try and play nicely.

 

 

Hey everyone, thank you for contacting us with the problems you are having at the moment with posting comments.

While you may be told your message has been trashed or disallowed or denied, they are in fact all remaining on site.

TDB Recommends NewzEngine.com

So please be patient and your comments will turn up.

We are working on the problem and will have a solution soon.

PS -While we are having this discussion about comments, we have always felt moderated comments were a way to go to avoid trolling. The Internet can be a pretty rude place at times so we wanted to try and reduce that.

How would everyone feel about

a) Direct posts to blogs.

b) Moderation after publishing (if we went down this path we would need volunteer moderators).

c) We are going to start clamping down more on personal abuse between commentators and would like to open up thoughts form you the readers about what you would like to see in terms of comments and what the rules should be.

Please leave comments below. Thoughts on what we will do will be published middle of next month.

Cheers TDB Team

  1. ‘Long exposure to tiny amounts of Monsanto’s Roundup may damage liver, kidneys – study’

    https://www.rt.com/usa/313806-monsanto-roundup-kidney-damage/

    “Long-term intake of the Monsanto’s most popular Roundup herbicide, even in very small amounts lower than permissible in US water, may lead to kidney and liver damage, a new study claims.
    The research, conducted by an international group of scientists from the UK, Italy and France, studied the effects of prolonged exposure to small amounts of the Roundup herbicide and one of its main components – glyphosate…

  2. Best err on the side of caution as WHO advises here, Phillip when reviving articles who may or may not be properly observing MSDS data sheets provided by the Chemical industry as they only include the “active” components in each compound marketed.

    I was living in Florida when many folks were diagnosed as being chemically damaged by another frontline chemical “Dursban” after only partial “yet incomplete records” were given to EPA during the two yr investigation before Dursban was ordered to be banned showing the high chemical toxicity of Dursban after all chemicals were identified and re- evaluated by EPA because the manufacturer had withheld the “inactive” components in the compound known as Dursban.

    It raised a public backlash of serious issues as to why do these large Chemical companies remain allowed to hide all components within such compounds such as herbicides/pesticides such as Roundup & Dursban.

  3. Cops bail out their outed agent provacateor with public funds for an undisclosed amount

    On Rob Gilchrist’s announcment of his settlement with the police.

    Gilchrist lists 12 specific highly illegal and harmful acts that he says he witnessed during his time as a police under cover inside the New Zealand protest movement.

    1/ Vandalism using battery acid.

    2/ Threatening behaviour

    3/ Throwing paint bombs

    4/ Committing bomb hoaxes

    5/ Sending razor blades in the mail

    6/ Laceing food with drugs

    7/ committing arson

    8/ Burglary

    9/ Assaults

    10/Committing wilful assaults

    11/ Threatening him with a knife

    12/ Making death threats against him.

    This is little short of a narrative of terrorism in New Zealand.

    If even one of Gilchrist’s allegations were true, Where are the convictions? Where are the arrests?

    Not even one person has ever even been questioned by the police about these alleged highly illegal activities.

    What are we to think of all this, when on much less than this, the police mounted a massive anti terror raid on Tuhoe.

  4. Is something big about to break, exposing more lies, subterfuge and corruption from NatzKEY ?

    I ask because Parliament will go into recess yet again next week, after only a two week session!!!

    Then the politicians will be back for approximately another two week period, before a recess of two weeks coinciding with the September school holidays!!!

    What do we pay these lying, cretinous gargoyles for?

  5. The police bail out their agent provocateur to an undisclosed amount.

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/71357903/police-spy-given-topsecret-payout

    In his statement announcing his settlement with his employer, Gilchrist lists 11 highly illegal and harmful acts that he alleges the groups he infiltrated as a serving police officer, were engaged in.

    1/ Vandalism using battery acid.

    2/ Threatening behaviour

    3/ Throwing paint bombs

    4/ Committing bomb hoaxes

    5/ Sending razor blades as a threat

    6/ Laceing food with drugs

    7/ committing arson

    8/ Burglary

    9/ Committing wilful assaults

    10/ Threatening him with a knife

    11/ Making death threats against him as a suspected police officer.

    This list constitutes a grave narrative of crimes that amounts to accusations a little short of terrorism made against Greenpeace and the trade unions the only two groups named by Gilchrist in this statement.

    If even one of these highly inflamatory accusations were true, Where are the convictions? Where are the arrests?

    Gilchrist deserves to be sued for defamation. for making, malicious, inflamatory, clearly baseless allegations.
