    https://www.rt.com/shows/keiser-report/335085-episode-max-keiser-886/

    Every week Max Keiser looks at all the scandal behind the financial news headlines.

    “In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss the loss of national inheritance which is driving young voters to despair and, thus, leading to a surge in the polls for the likes of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders. They discuss the desire to burn down the ponzi scheme in which these young voters can only ever be the greater fool.

    In the second half Max interviews academic, public health doctor and leading authority on Private Finance Initiatives (PFI), Allyson Pollock (@AllysonPollock), about the NHS Reinstatement bill she co-authored. They discuss the stealth and not-so-stealth privatisation of the National Health Service in the UK.”

  4. US senator wants TPP scrapped

    A US senator has called for the Trans-Pacific Partnership with New Zealand and other nations to be scrapped and for America to instead use its leverage to strike one-on-one trade deals.
    Senator Jeff Sessions also questioned why US President Barack Obama agreed to Auckland as the location for last month’s signing of the mega 12-nation Pacific Rim trade deal.
    “Obama had this thing signed in Auckland, New Zealand, which claims it is the most remote city in the world,” Mr Sessions, speaking at an event at the National Press Club in Washington DC on Thursday, told reporters.
    “They didn’t even issue a press release on it.
    “They’re not promoting this.”
    Mr Sessions, a Republican who has endorsed the party’s presidential candidate frontrunner Donald Trump, said it was unlikely the Republican-controlled Congress would vote on the TPP before the November 8 presidential election.
    Mr Trump has described the TPP as a “horrible deal”.
    Mr Obama, at a White House press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Thursday, admitted the US has had “bad trade deals” in the past that served the interests of global corporations instead of workers.
    “But I am absolutely persuaded we cannot put up walls around the global economy,” Mr Obama said.
    The US would be better off if it negotiated individual deals with Pacific Rim nations, Mr Sessions said.
    “We should do it bilaterally so if we have a dispute and they want to access the thing they want the most – our market – then we have got leverage,” the senator said.
    “We can push back a lot better than if we have to go through a 10 or 11-nation commission to vote on it.”
    Mr Sessions was speaking at the release of a poll conducted by conservative political advocacy group Americans for Limited Government, which found 66 per cent of Republican voters oppose the TPP “after they find out what’s in it”.
    The TPP includes New Zealand, Australia, the US, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Singapore, Chile, Mexico and Vietnam.

    Someone please tell me again, why John key is ramming through legislative changes to our laws to accommodate the TPPA?

    • Because he and his supporters say we appose it because we dont understand it, condecending prats. We understand it very well, Key is operating under the Tppa already ,saying farmers should not use seeds on farms more than once ,probably on orders from Monsanto.
      Natural remedies to be deleted ,orders from Big Phama.
      Now 98% of farms to be sold to foreign interests,they will have total control over our food supply,Monsanto??
      Your comment Words are probably known by Key and he is getting his cronies in a good position to cope with the changes.
      What can we do ,any ideas? (farm info in todays Wake up New Zealand)

  5. peter dunne is the uriah heep of nz politics..

    (wiki def:)

    The character is notable for his cloying humility – obsequiousness and insincerity – making frequent references to his own ”humbleness’.

    His name has become synonymous with being a yes man.[1]

    ..that’s dunne to a d..

    ..and something else that has me mashing my forehead into the keyboards..

    ..is his gag-inducing ‘safety’-concerns around pot..

    ..yet this @#*!! has the well-deserved nickname of peter dunhill..

    ..this for his relentless defending of/pimping for the tobacco-pushers..and the alcohol-pushers..

    (every day dunne delays reform on cannabis law..more booze-profits flow into his paymasters’ pockets..

    ..the booze pusher don’t want legal-pot..

    ..as colorado has proven..legalising pot sees a sharp drop in alcohol-consumption..(and the attend violence..domestic and other..and crime in general..

    ..dunne is just running interference for them..delaying the inevitable as long as possible..

    ..doing patch-protection for them..

    ..is there no end to the perfidy of this man dunne..?

  6. News on Wake up New Zealand is that the reserve bank of NZ is owned by America
    ANZ bank in Australia cheating farmers over loans forcing bankrupts.Taking over farms illegally and by force.
    Goldman Sachs running British banks behind the scenes and could be beneficieries if a bank bailout is wanted,British people paying for American bank bailouts!!!
    Nesara a system for total clearance of criminal money from existence, a reset in monetary policy is on the way . If the Nesara system gets a move on it might save the world from New World Order,but the govt and banking crooks are trying to get as much of the peoples wealth as they can before they are stopped
    Farms in Australia NZ and USA are under threat,this NZ government is allowing foreigners to buy up to 95% of NZ farms. This government seems to be part of the NWO in allowing the terms of TPPA to operate before its ratified.
    So much more to take on board in Wake up New Zealand.
    Things are speeding up, be informed.
