1. Keiser report on Goldman Sachs ( do we want Goldman Sachs advising Treasury in New Zealand?)

   https://www.rt.com/shows/keiser-report/342496-episode-max-keiser-912/

   “In this episode of the Keiser Report, Max and Stacy discuss Goldman Sachs managing to deplete the Teamsters’ pension fund more successfully and rapidly than the mob could ever manage to. As this and other pension funds face depletion, however, some corporations are looking forward to billions in profits managing riot contagion and political pandemics.

   In the second half, Max interviews Jaromil of Dyne.org about the “Satoshi” drama as Bitcoin Core versus Bitcoin Classic goes full soap opera. Jaromil points out that Bitcoin code has withstood the Satoshi hoax.”

2. “do we want Goldman Sachs advising Treasury in New Zealand?”

   Chooky,

   I would be surprised if GS isn’t already doing this since FJK has been coercing with GS for ages before he became PM and some say it was GS that bankrolled our huge S100 Billion crown debt now???

   GS are setting NZ up as another Greece as a second “failed state they can then pillage at fire sale prices as is happening in Greece now?

   That’s how they (GS) make their killings on the Global stage as carpetbaggers.

3. Any one interested in saving our democracy, search the web for evidence of other counties fighting against corporate criminal enterprise and subversion, using hacking/election fraud and changing Governments through the ballot box by their “black Opps” activities as they tried to do, recentkly a couple of weeks before an election when they hacked the Philippine’s Commission of Elections (Comelec) website and stole contents of 55 million voters records!!!!

   Luckily Philippines Commission of Elections (Comecec) were ordered by their Supreme Court ahead of the election, to use a new electronic system (VVPAT) which shows verification of the voter record anytime a voter needs to check their verification of vote preference, and see if their vote is being “altered/hacked/flipped” by anyone and (VVPAT) is used now in many countries now to quash voting manipulation by those to win an election.

   Look up (VVPAT) as it saved their election two days ago, so that is what we in NZ need also!!!

   It is called a Voter Verification Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) verifiable voting system

   Below is a compilation of the recent Philippines Election which shows that we in NZ need a Voter Verification Audit Trail (VVPAT) verifiable voting system Or we may have the 2017 Election rigged or tampered with by this or any other Government agency.

   Our NZ Election Commission has no voter verification system for voters to check validate their vote was correctly represented by Electoral Commission, so we have no way to check if any election is tampered with and rigged and according to experts and overseas courts have lost our democracy as anyone can tamper with our election results and we cannot verify this occurring which is a crime.

   THIS IS INTELLENGENCE STIMULATION RIGHT MARTYN??

   START;

   Jimenez the Philippines Election spokesman said, QUOTE ; “the Comelec (commission of Election) would print lists of voters with corresponding photographs to ensure quick validation of voters on Election Day.”

   “We will have a personal verification system on Election Day. (VVPAT) The Comelec will not come out with polluted lists of voters coming from outside sources,” he added. unquote;

   TO Opposition: Please protect our human right and democracy.

   Opposition; Our NZ Election Commission has no voter verification system (VVPAT) for voters to check validate their vote was correctly represented by Electoral Commission!!!

   So we voters have no way to check/verify if any election voting is tampered with and rigged and according to experts and overseas courts, we will have lost our democracy as anyone can tamper with our election results and we cannot verify this occurring which is a crime.

   Opposition; please protect our human right and democracy.

   The data dumps include 15.8 million records of fingerprints, it added. There are 54.3 million registered voters in the country and 1.3 million living overseas. The hacking scandal comes amid an investigation into the cybertheft of $101 million from the Bangladesh central bank’s account in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the money’s transfer to the Philippines and Sri Lanka.

   ‘Leaked info can’t be used to rig elections’

   “We will have a personal verification system on Election Day.(VVPAT) Comelec spokesman James Jimenez said.

   ‘Leaked info can’t be used to rig elections’

   “There is no way voters’ data hacked from the official website of the Commission on Elections (Comelec) can be used to rig the coming May 9 elections, poll officials said yesterday.”

   “That’s one of the things we’ve always been sure of because the elections will not be run on the same servers (as the website). We will not even be using that (defaced) website,” Comelec spokesman James Jimenez said.

   “Jimenez said the Comelec would print lists of voters with corresponding photographs to ensure quick validation of voters on Election Day.

   “We will have a personal verification system on Election Day. The Comelec will not come out with polluted lists of voters coming from outside sources,” he added.

   Last March 27, Comelec’s website http://www.comelec.gov.ph was defaced twice and voters’ personal details were later found uploaded on various sites, including http://www.wehaveyourdata.com.

   The website had allowed Internet users to search voters’ profiles like full name, birth dates and addresses.

   In some cases, passport details and even biometrics data were reportedly exposed.

   According to Jimenez, the Comelec’s Information Technology Department (ITD) is still verifying the accuracy of the leaked data.

   “We never denied that the breach happened. What we are saying is we hadn’t yet at that time verified 100 percent whether the breach was completely accurate,” he clarified.

   Jimenez said the Comelec database is undergoing forensic examination to determine how the hackers penetrated the system.

   “We want to make sure our future steps are better suited to protect us against that kind of attack. The Comelec does not want it to happen again. It’s not true our website was not protected,” he stressed.

   “No one in this day and age would put up a website without some sort of protection, but we have to remember that the hacking attempts were continuous attempts over time,” he pointed out.

   The hacking story first got public attention after the emergence of a user-friendly website that allowed Internet users to search for their personal information.

   Owners of the website, http://wehaveyourdata.com, said they used the database dump of the LulzSec Pilipinas containing information on 70 million voters.

   “The database contains a lot of sensitive information, including fingerprint data and passport information. So, we thought that it would be fun to make a search engine over that data,” they said.

   Meralco, through spokesman Joe Zaldarriaga, also clarified the alleged hacker Paul Biteng is not a son of an employee. “Based on our records, we do not have an employee surnamed Biteng,” he said.

   ‘Genie out of the bottle’

   But for cyber security experts, the data leaked can never be contained and will forever be in the public domain.

   “Once this information is out, it’s impossible to recover. It’s not like 55 million Filipinos can change their fingerprints,” Bryce Boland, Asia-Pacific chief technical officer of cyber security firm Fire Eye, told Bloomberg.

   “I think it’s very serious. We’re talking about the personal details of about 55 million Filipinos. And it’s not just names and address – their email address, their passport information, their height, their weight, their parents’ names, even their fingerprint details. This is very significant,” he added.

   Boland noted the leak, now called Comeleak, is one of the largest data breaches of government information in the world.

   “The problem here is that it creates a lot of opportunities for malicious attacks, and we can see (possible) fraud attacks,” he said. “It’s just a matter of time before some criminal groups work out that they can use these information to get access to that.”

   Web security expert Troy Hunt – founder of website “have I been pwnd?” – also said the leaked personal information is now perpetually in the public domain.

   “There’s the potential to do serious damage to those involved and we need to remember that the same classes of data are held by all our governments in our respective corners of the world,” he wrote in a blog post.

   Despite the removal of the original website, Hunt said the original database is still being shared online.

   “Not only has it been readily available for download from multiple locations on the clear web, it’s been quite extensively torrented too,” he added.

   “The genie is well and truly out of the bottle and it won’t be going back in,” he added.

   The Many Surprises of the 2016 Philippines Elections

   Poll results point to several outcomes few would have expected just months ago.

   By Mong Palatino for The Diplomat

   May 12, 2016

   According to the initial estimate of the Commission on Elections (Comelec), more than 40 million Filipinos were able to cast their votes on May 9. The number represents about 81 percent of total number of voters, surpassing the voter turnout in the 2010 presidential election. Meanwhile, overseas absentee voting went up by a whopping 300 percent.

   There were several surprises in the election results: First, the landslide victory of Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte who is now set to become the Philippines’ 16th president. Second, the close race between Senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr and neophyte Congresswoman Leni Robredo for the vice presidency. And third, the possible entry into the senate of new and young leaders.

   Duterte’s electoral success is phenomenal since he will be the first president from Mindanao in the south, the country’s second biggest island plagued by extreme poverty and numerous local conflicts. Duterte, who first became popular last year because of his image as a crime fighter, defeated four other prominent and resource-rich candidates. Duterte introduced himself as a man of the masses and an ordinary politician from the province who is prepared to rid the country of crime and corruption in less than six months. Frustrated by the repeated failures of Manila-based politicians, an overwhelming number of voters gave their support to the tough-talking leader from Davao.

   As stipulated in the constitution, if Duterte is proclaimed president, he will take his oath as leader of the country on June 30.

   If Duterte’s victory is already accepted by many, the vice presidential contest is not yet over as of this writing. In the Philippines, the vice president vote takes place separately from that of the president.
