  1. John Pilger is creating a stir with his new expose on the coming war on China. 400 USA bases have been set up surrounding China.

    WTF.

    This is not reported in NZ media.

    John is a Journalist who has repeatedly exposed the corruption of media and how we are fed shit instead of information.

    Nicky Hagar’s new book lays out info on war crimes NZ has taken part in.

    Bill English denies any part of it.

    The evidence is simple, plain and well covered now by TDB and many other independent reporters.

    What we are NOT told is the history of Afghanistan and how a poor sovereign nation struggled and overthrew its parasitic rulers and establish a society based on values we would cherish.

    “In the 1960s, a popular revolution swept Afghanistan, the poorest country on earth, eventually overthrowing the vestiges of the aristocratic regime in 1978. The People’s Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) formed a government and declared a reform programme that included the abolition of feudalism, freedom for all religions, equal rights for women and social justice for the ethnic minorities. More than 13,000 political prisoners were freed and police files publicly burned.

    The new government introduced free medical care for the poorest; peonage was abolished, a mass literacy programme was launched. For women, the gains were unheard of. By the late 1980s, half the university students were women, and women made up almost half of Afghanistan’s doctors, a third of civil servants and the majority of teachers. “Every girl,” recalled Saira Noorani, a female surgeon, “could go to high school and university. We could go where we wanted and wear what we liked. We used to go to cafes and the cinema to see the latest Indian film on a Friday and listen to the latest music. It all started to go wrong when the mujaheddin started winning. They used to kill teachers and burn schools. We were terrified. It was funny and sad to think these were the people the West supported.”

    The PDPA government was backed by the Soviet Union, even though, as former Secretary of State Cyrus Vance later admitted, “there was no evidence of any Soviet complicity [in the revolution]”. Alarmed by the growing confidence of liberation movements throughout the world, Brzezinski decided that if Afghanistan was to succeed under the PDPA, its independence and progress would offer the “threat of a promising example”.

    On July 3, 1979, the White House secretly authorised support for tribal “fundamentalist” groups known as the mujaheddin, a program that grew to over $500 million a year in U.S. arms and other assistance. The aim was the overthrow of Afghanistan’s first secular, reformist government. In August 1979, the US embassy in Kabul reported that “the United States’ larger interests… would be served by the demise of [the PDPA government], despite whatever setbacks this might mean for future social and economic reforms in Afghanistan.” The italics are mine.

    The mujaheddin were the forebears of al-Qaeda and Islamic State. They included Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, who received tens of millions of dollars in cash from the CIA. Hekmatyar’s specialty was trafficking in opium and throwing acid in the faces of women who refused to wear the veil. Invited to London, he was lauded by Prime Minister Thatcher as a “freedom fighter”.”

    NZ was told that Afghanistan rebelled against Russia but as we see patterns in Crimea, Libya and many other places, massive amounts of US money was spent creating rebellion, division and mass propaganda NZ press bought.

    To read more of John Pilger’s research try:

    There is a frightening consistency that our NZ Govt colludes with US hegemony.

    Of the 69 UN countries the US had invaded or created regime change in over one third. of them since 1945.

    Now Russia and China are lined up for their insurgency.

    RNZ is presently under attack by NACT. Silence is what is sought.

    Do we submit to US will when we know the US war machine is run by a tiny rich and powerful cabal and not backed by the majority of the USA people, or do we think for ourselves and be independent.

    We have treasonous politicians and many stupid voters.

  2. So who is the tail ?…wagging the dog ?…of USA foreign policy ?

    ‘Syria escalation’

    https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/381718-syria-escalation-international-war/

    “Just when it looked like the international proxy war in Syria might be coming to an end, Israel inserted itself into the conflict in a big way. Airstrikes against Syrian targets have not only provoked a forceful reaction from Damascus, but also has Moscow demanding explanations.

    CrossTalking with Ramzy Baroud, Dan Arbell, and Martin Jay.”

    Our government agencies in the first instance are expecting us to believe that ‘imposters’ (lol lol rofl rofllmto – rolling on the floor laughing my tits off – yea nah – giddie up raj) are responsible for the first link.
    For the second link – judge for yourselves.

    But even given all that crap, and given (I’ll find a link when I can) as to the 10 most suspect industries involved in ‘black money’, Steven Choices export tertiary edjakayshun sector, there are a whole lot of imposters sitting IELTS exams.
    It couldn’t possibly be institutions, AND individuals employed by various institutions looking for the ‘main chance’ acting in opportunist manner.
    What about the IELTS examiner’s referral to the ‘immigration consultant’ based in India, who then goes on to ‘recruitment agency’ and then law firm specialising in immigration. (All very respectable – but actually not if we had a properly resourced INZ and Labour Inspectorate).
    FFS people! That’s just ONE frikken case (involving many several people) I know of
