  1. Anyone who is interested in keeping up-to-date with the latest global protests etc might enjoy Revolution News ” an international group of independent journalists, photographers, artists, translators and activists reporting on international news with a focus on human rights,” with daily coverage of global protests, human rights, social movements, civil rights, environment, Internet censorship, etc

    Here’s their website – http://revolution-news.com/

    and on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/RevNews?fref=ts

    • Thank you E.P. Looking at the photographs of different protests its not hard to see where NZ is headed. Austerity for everyone.
      we should be called Keys NZ Inc,he thinks he owns us and sees no need to please us. Zimbabwe’s, Mcabe of the Pacific is what we have.

    • @ ESOTERIC PINEAPPLES – Good one 🙂

      Many thanks for the website. Judging by what I’ve read so far on the RV site in a very short amount of time, there’s more information there on one page, than NZ msm could come up with in a whole year!

      • NZ herald today Tppa held up over drug prices and length of time for drug companies to hold monopolies.
        I just wish they commented more on the investor clause that will hand us to corporate greed.

  2. Jane Kelsey on tv one this morning say Key and Groser are taking any deal on offer,nothing much in for NZ
    If its signed by NZ that’s it, while America gets to go over it and change things to help their own protectionism.
    We in NZ wont know the deal for thirty days ,it gives Key and Groser 30 days to fool us into believing its a good deal , also it gives Key and Groser 30 days to get parliament to ratify it.

    We might get to know when those two smirking fools have tied it all up in favour of corporations,

    • In the tppa it seems that all SOE will have to be done away and full privatisation is required to ensure other countries (corporations) must be able to gain access to businesses they want to purchase for profit.It just gets worse and pretty obvious Key has been setting us up for takeover,he is part of the corporations and obviously dumped on us for the purpose of takeover.
      The elections always seem to come out in Keys favour,probably has never been fair elections, its coming out now how he has manipulatedwith the help of corporations to take NZ over, he is so blatent and couldn’t care less about his job of PM except to do what the crooked corps’ wanted.
      Even the announcement about details of the postponement is secret , it says see video for details , when trying to play video it says this video is private.
      We NZs are idiots for putting up with this nonsense,but people I speak say “oh we cant do anything and none of it will affect us
      ,how dumb can some people be.

  3. Rewriting history :

    According to Kathryn Ryan’s radionz ninetonoon programme the Syrians are fleeing Assad!!!!

    (I thought the Syrians democratically elected Assad and they were fleeing ISIS)

    …is this propaganda and disinformation?….because it certainly wasnt challanged by Ryan….

    http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/ninetonoon/audio/201773272/europe-correspondent-carsten-von-nahmen

    Washington educated carsten von nahmen argues that ” according to human rights organisations the forces of Assad, the ally of Russia, are responsible for the vast majority of casualties in this war and caused millions of Syrians to flee to neighbouring counties and to move on to Europe “….

    • “(I thought the Syrians democratically elected Assad and they were fleeing ISIS)

      …is this propaganda and disinformation?”

      Yes, and you’re swallowing it hook, line and sinker.
      You know there was a war on in Syria during the 2012 election? That opposition parties boycotted the poll, that the day the election was announced Assad’s army intensified attacks on free syria rebels?

      Definitely -100 for your naive attempts at politicking, and -100 for your willingness to use Syrian refugees to try and make your point.

      If you want real propaganda, stick to pushing those -100 RT links, ’cause everyone knows Russian journalists are fabled for their impartiality… Well the ones that aren’t murdered for opposing the state or dictator Putin, that is.

  4. According to Kathryn Ryan’s radionz ninetonoon programme the Syrians are fleeing Assad!!!!
    (I thought the Syrians democratically elected Assad and they were fleeing ISIS)
    …is this propaganda and disinformation?….because it certainly wasnt challanged by Ryan….

    Because it is true.
    A large number of Syrians would rather fight Assad than fight ISIS, that’s one reason why it is so hard for the Americans to find people to train. (Also because they won’t take anyone who has done any fighting to date).

    Assad was elected in a free, democratic, fair election – yeah, right.

    There are no clear majority in this war or the war would already be over. Assad has his supporters as well as those who fear and hate him. (It is the latter he is killing and largely those who are fleeing to Europe.
    It is a war of factions.

    I am amazed that anyone still hasn’t got that, Chooky. Pay attention.

  5. The TTP is said to probably being signed overnight our time.
    Comments were that America want to push smaller countries to the limit to get them to give up more and more.
    No hope for Key and Groser to fight for anything ,they will take anything offered.
    Maybe other smaller countries will stand up to America but heh!i think we might be only country that’s small with small population.
    If it passes I hope Labour or Winston Peters,or Maori party dosnt ratify it .If its just the National Party were history,they will do as they are told.
    Would someone enlighten us on whose job it is to ratify the rotten deal.

  6. The Governor General should stand John Key down for dismantling NZ’s democracy by stealth.
    He is not a Prime minister he is a traitor to this country.
    The people of New Zealand marched to show they did not want the TPPA, and yet they were ignored.
    Friend or no friend, The Governor General should stand this dictator down, for going against our basic rights in a democracy.
    And a message to those who support Key – it will be your children that will suffer under this corporate TPP deal. They won’t be thanking you.
