This is extraordinary…
John Key describes what Chris Luxon would be like as prime minister
As National reels from the negative fallout of Simon Bridges‘ comments on lifting the lockdown, former Prime Minister John Key has showered praise on Bridges’ potential successor, Christopher Luxon.
Key even briefly described what Luxon would be like as prime minister.
“If Chris was the prime minister, I think what you would see is a very strong emphasis on the economy,” Key said, referencing Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who he believed was focused on things other than the economy.
“To me the number one thing the Government of the day does is to provide hardworking New Zealanders, whatever ethnicity they come from, to get ahead and progress in their lives and do well,” Key said.
…this is priceless.
The former PM pimping his corporate replacement as Leader for National to National’s largest and most powerful lobby block, Chinese NZers, while Simon Bridges twists in the wind is just extraordinary.
Key is figuratively urinating all over Simon’s salad while telling him it’s dressing.
Undermining the current leader to a powerful voting block within the Party and promoting the Prime Ministership of his corporate anointed replacement is a masterclass in how you undermine with a dead eyed smile.
Simon’s leadership is a ponytail, and John’s pulling.
No one politically assassinates quite like Key, if Simon’s leadership wasn’t in danger before this, it sure as hell is now.

How very classy of Key (sarcasm). I dread the thought of another CEO PM like Key – he would do far more damage to the country than Bridges.
@ C
Allowing a pm like jonky to flourish like the toxic weed he is again in, say prime-ministership, would be an indication of how damaged WE still are. Of how mentally and emotionally under developed we still are.
jonky looks like a piece of sweaty gristle, doesn’t he?
Seeing the little fucker reminds me of, as an adult, coming face to face with a childhood bully while drunk. It didn’t end well for the bully.
Luckily for me, I don’t care what jonky/bridges/adern etc do.
The real hero’s are those who sit on AO/NZ’s winter’s streets hoping someone will give them a fiver.
Is this another move by Shonkey to take over the total public control of Air NZ if he can get his stool Pidgeon ( Christopher Luxon) nto PM here so Key can make another $40 million as he was a Air NZ director and he could easily be again as a facilitator for flogging off Air NZ like Key did during the 1990’s when he sold our public railways to a private consortium of Fay/Richwhite?????
Just looking at this list of lies hen told I believe he is again on the move to rob us again. https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2016/06/04/435-lies-by-john-key/
He sure is dirty.
oooo you’re just a jealous hater @ CB (/sarc)
Sarc – and what’s worse is that there are JK hero worshipers that actually genuinely believe it – i.e. that you must just be a jealous hater – including, unfortunately, a number in the 4th Estate – not looking at anybody in particular).
And you’ll probably have noticed how the Herald and others are busy trying to reinflate him at the moment.
Ew!
What amazes me though, is that there doesn’t seem to have been any ‘investigative’ type “journalist” that’s taken the time to ask a few people that actually worked with the prick (during times when the term “the smiling assassin” was considered something good).
Fuck what a sleazy plastic wanking mechanism. He’s the re-incarnation of kitsch Formica (trade mark) veneer even if that’s now back in fashion. So utterly sufusticated its trejuk.
There’ll always be the smell of them though – it’s not really worth letting them steel your energy. It’lll playout in a way that the mathematics of it all mean they’re on the way out, and I haven’t yet worked out how they’ll be taking it all with them to the afterlife, or whether they’ll leave a skid mark for the rest of us to have to clean up.
And to think!!! from such a (media contrived) humble background.
Totally agree. Who needs another round of Key clone? IF you can even believe an MSM article!!
Maybe Johnnie aint so flush after all?
Selling his pad in Sydney:

John Key gets keys to luxury $6m pad – and lists it the next day
While at the same time:
Sydney House prices – https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-24/worst-case-scenario-house-prices-fall-30pc-coronavirus-shutdown/12177084

Do the sums, M8.
Classy John loves to throw his predecessors under the bus, might be why he was called the smiling assassin.
Tune in at .55 for the hair scene.

Great, thanks saveNZ. And suddenly I see why so many Nat supporters have been obsessing over their current non-access to hairdressers, and who would blame them ? OMG.
Even though he’s a prick. Just his endorsement is enough for the blue rinse brigade to get excited.
His endorsement is worth 5% to 6% to the loyalists & BRB. About August is when Simple will get the chop! The watch for the bounce! 40% in the polls easy!
For me the bigger take out from this was the choice of a Chinese media platform, says a lot about Nationals priorities. A choice I imagine is unpalatable to the majority of the electorate, more so now then ever.
The main thing we can take home from National is that a vote for National is a vote for Pro-Beijing rule for NZ.
It’s so great when you can sell your properties to them too!
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12294400
Oh and your other ones to your new employees too!

And be a key player in the reckless profits of Merrill Lynch prior to the GFC that caused the bank to fail and be acquired by Bank of America.
Utilizing a Chinese media platform being intentional. Luxon is the National candidate for Botany, an electorate with a lot of Chinese voters (and money). Key playing slimy politics from the sideline.
mary-a – So basically, John Key was telling Chinese NZ’ers to vote Luxon, to get the sort of New Zealand which Chinese NZ’ers want.
Do Chinese NZer’s want pro Beijng rule in NZ – how many are secretly trying to get away from there???? And is it China’ intention to bring in more pro Beijing types to make sure the other types of Chinese in NZ support mainland Chinas government and not speak out against it?
Hong Kong, mainland Chinese students clash at New Zealand university over extradition bill
https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/australasia/article/3020639/chinese-students-clash-new-zealand-university-over-hong-kong
Who knows because universities are so woke/neoliberally focused, and frightened of upsetting China money, that they now suppress any freedom of speech from other Chinese nationals (and anyone else)!
“Sir” John predictably steered clear of this pertinent topic while giving his seditious little pep talk on Radio Beijing:
https://thediplomat.com/2020/04/did-xi-jinping-deliberately-sicken-the-world/
I guess he wouldn’t want to upset his best mate in Zhongnanhai…
The smiling assassin strikes again! And the grumpy asshat never even heard their footsteps coming up behind them…
I could have done without seeing Key’s ugly – in every way – visage. He was likely emphasising something already obvious : that the various suggested alternatives to Bridges seem as unpalatable as he is, or worse.
Key’s reference to ‘the economy’, was too clumsy, and bad timing, when so many are struggling with all sorts of immediate coronavirus fallout; he should have had the sense to hold his tongue on this one.
John’s got a bit of a nerve thinking that he knows what’s best for the country, but he made the same mistake trying to force a flag change on us too, didn’t he. Guess that poor girl’s ponytail also asked him to keep pulling it.
“To me the number one thing the Government of the day does is to provide hardworking New Zealanders, whatever ethnicity they come from, to get ahead and progress in their lives and do well,” Key said. Ignoring Key’s once again inexcusable language mangling, his attempts at wisdom here, make me wonder whether he’s a slow learner, a bigger liar than I thought he was. Or both.
Oh very simply BOTH.
Throughout his career in Trading, politics, and now Bank and Company Directorships, our glorious ex leader Mr Key has first and foremost always represented international Finance Capital above all else.
That is the point of National since its inception–to shovel socially created wealth “upstairs” to the tiny elite of capitalist class exploiters. He is a filthy opportunist, raised in a warm, dry state house, on a Widows Benefit. A generation later as PM he said “beneficiaries need a kick in the pants” and he enlisted arch neo lib Paula Rebstock to mentor Paula Bennett to make damn sure they got one.
No allusions either please about the arsehole Key is promoting–Mr Luxon. Shiny bonce would be the worst of all worlds–an advocate for the corporate few above the many, and a religious nutter with a socially conservative bent.
Agreed, he’d be our very own ScoMo
“To me the number one thing the Government of the day does is to provide hardworking New Zealanders, whatever ethnicity they come from, to get ahead and progress in their lives and do well,” Key said.
It sounds so deliciously sweet and sensible.
Christ sake, his duplicity makes my skin crawl. A lie wrapped in the truth. Like the bullshit way back with Key trotting around state housing in McGehan Close just wanting to play the benevolent leader in waiting, gagging to help these misunderstood poverty stricken souls better themselves. Instead he flogged off their houses, raised GST, did very little to even admit housing was an issue and cracked down on beneficiary entitlements.
He understood the issues because their sales pitch told us so but all of his governments unstated efforts was always for the wealthy.
Who felt Covid-19 type symptoms with a strong mix of nausea on viewing this story and all it entails?
Yup…
Yes JF my first thoughts were eewwwwwwww!
“Ladies and gentlemen, John Key,
Leader of the National Party
Prime Minister Of New Zealand since 2008
Everyone Voted for him without knowing his track record,
Who he worked for, Where his career originated & how he does business today.
By the end of this Short Video you will know enough to be able to make an informed decision when voting him in or not again.
Little Johnny was born in a state house,
A Son of an alcoholic absentee father
& guilt provoking mother
who pins all her hopes on her son,
living vicariously through him,
especially because she never had another boy
and never remarried.
She then allegedly inherited a large sum
and allegedly spent much of it on her son.
John worked for 10 years
as a New Zealand investment banker
since the mid 1980’s
When the market crashed
he made a killing selling New Zealand dollars.
He headed offshore In 1995

This bank was exposed as the worlds first derivatives traders
& went bust during the 2008 financial crisis due to its heavy investment in the derivatives market,

– The Bank of America
Which it turns out John Key still has shares in,
A conflict of interest considering anyone could google the Bank name and “fines”
to see it’s been fined many times for drug dealing,
gun running, money laundering & is famous for getting countries into debt,
Is John Key personally profiting from New Zealand’s growing indebtedness ?
The Bank of America also has a stake in the military industrial complex
who’ve profited tremendously after several successive, no end in sight, illegal US wars.
This gives you an idea of the kind of circles John revolves in.
John’s worked for Merrill Lynch in Singapore, London, Sydney & …
-Ireland
When the “Irish Tiger” economy was kicking off,
It was allowing “sweet heart” tax breaks
to big banks and financial institutions
if they moved their back offices to Ireland,
So John did, Assisting 15,000 of his clients to Avoid Tax
the Irish economy was hollowed out with debt,
collapsing shortly after John skipped the country & put all his money into…
-“Blind Trusts”
John Key knows what’s in his blind trusts,
he’s a bit of a drinker and he let it slip while a bit pissed
that he owns a vineyard,
turns out that vineyard is in his blind trust,
although he claims he doesn’t know what’s in it.
This is because he has 2 trusts,
1 blind & 1 not so blind that mirrors the other one.
He was in charge of business units like
global foreign exchange
and European bond and…
-Derivative Trading
What is Derivative Trading?
Basically it’s so complicated that the Auditor general once said something like
“it’s such a technical area that I can’t understand it,
so I got KPMG to investigate themselves for me and they assure me it’s all good”
Recall the great depression?
Of course not, in the 1920’s you could buy $10 worth of shares for only $1 down
allowing people to gamble on the stock market at incredible volumes,
massive amounts of fake money & debt was generated
and the economy got sucked into it like a black hole.
To prevent that happening again, a law was crafted called…
-The Glass Steagall Act
Which was repealed in 1999 leaving the US derivatives market completely unregulated.
The New York State gaming Commission tried to regulate it because they saw derivatives as gambling,
but they were unsuccessful, obviously.
In 1999 John was legally allowed to sell derivatives in America due to the repeal of Glass Steagall,
Was invited to represent Merrill Lynch & join the Foreign Exchange Committee
of the…
-Federal Reserve Bank of New York
A private banking cartel that has a monopoly on the supply of money
and loan it to the US government at interest & more or less control the US government through debt.
Ownership of the 13 banks with shares in the FED can be traced back to the worlds most ultra intergenerational wealth families, hidden away from public view via an elaborate network of family trusts.

-Corporate Psychopath
Charming & enchanting when you first meet them
But are ultimately shallow and have few meaningful lasting relationships,
They crave money and power and are willing to sabotage,
intimidate, manipulate, steal, defame, lie and cheat, shamelessly without guilt,
Desiring attention & idolization with pathological narcissism & despising criticism,
Often sexually promiscuous.
Private prosecutor Graham McCready is including a DVD of
The Wolf Of Wall Street in his evidence against John Key
Evidence of the lifestyle & mentality Key & co-workers likely enjoyed on wall street.
Normally on Wall Street your earnings get paid
40% Cash,
40% Stock
20% Options
Key demanded to be paid 100% in stock and options
That’s where his incentive to crime is!
Imagine the opportunities for insider trading when you literally run the country?
He tried to flush out commercially sensitive information from the ombudsman when trans-rail was being valued while at the same time owning shares in it!
John Key just can’t help himself.
When Key left Wall Street after 6 or 7 years in foreign exchange,
he was in the tip top of the elite, with roughly 50 million on salary and bonuses,
-Key refers to his 5 million dollar mansion as the house that Merrol built,
They had a beach house in Omaha and now have a 3.2 million Hawaii holiday home,
Only 202,000 people have incomes above 30 Million Dollars
Roughly 2,000 of those are billionaires,
-John Says
“We’re not ridiculously wealthy, there are lots of people not seen on the NBR rich list that have a lot of money.”
Not counting his blind trusts he could be worth hundreds of millions.
Is he wall street banker or New Zealand prime minister?
Jumping forward to the 2008 financial crisis:
Money Magazine said derivatives were one of the chief causes of the 2008 credit crunch,
A collapse that happened in the same year we elected John Key
To handle the debt crisis he helped cause
as he admitted on breakfast tv!
And what did he do once elected in order to save us from the debt crisis?
He borrowed more money than all previous prime ministers combined!
We’ve gone from 8 billion to over 80 billion so far,
With 112 Billion worth of derivative debts
In Off The Books Accounting Since 2011 and growing!
Key knew about his unauthorized biography long before it was released,
guess what? It doesn’t even mention the word derivatives once!
A man of the people you say?
He’s supposed to be the Member of Parliament for Helensville,
& lives across town in a 5 million dollar Parnell Mansion he calls “the house that Merrol built”,
Only had 1 public meeting in his electorate the whole election,
On the proviso that no one can talk about or criticize him, any other party,
Or their policy, Or their candidates,
And guess who was the only person that violated those conditions which John Key himself set up for everyone else? John Key!
So, let me see if I have this straight,
he’s a psychopathic narcissistic passive aggressive mamas boy with daddy issues,
And he has control of a country that has no corruption prevention framework?
He may have been sent here to destroy this country,
But it is not yet destroyed & we can change our future if we choose to.
Sink Team Key and it will deal a crippling blow to the financial elite’s agenda.

Great but nauseating read SaveNZ.
He got a free pass on his travel too the ninth floor.
There was little or no scrutiny if i remember correctly on his past or on the the things we did know and when questioned about his financial dealings in 2008 ( answers too questions we expected too have an honest answer ) he prevaricated in his response.
In fact i remember being alarmed at the lack of scrutiny of this man and what was too become normal was the MSM’s reluctance too take him on at all and those who dared were removed or threatened from causing too much damage too Keys brighter future , benign police and mass surveillance state.
He acted like a central american dictator in a shirt and tie.
And his colleagues who were complicit are still there……waiting.
If anything we got the rags too riches story of this exceptional kiwi who came from a state house too go on a make an horrendous amount of money and used that background too play poor people in a deprived area of Mt Albert that he would make their lives better.
They are still waiting.
Too the more receptive amongst us at the time knew we were dealing with a shifty foreign exchange dealer who couldn’t lie straight in bed but that didn’t matter as the rest of the country bought into the propaganda and voted for him.
John Key’s long 9 years was helped by bringing in the ‘right’ sort of people and allowing them to vote in 1 year. Oh and dirty politics! And Labour’s stupidity.
“Three quarters of ethnic Chinese voters will cast their vote for National if an election was held tomorrow, a survey has found.
The study, backed by local Chinese media company World TV, claims to be the first in-depth study of New Zealand Chinese voting habits here.
Contrary to findings of the NZ General Social Survey, which found low voting rates among recent migrants, the poll found Chinese voter turnout in the 2014 General Elections was 78.5 per cent – higher than the national average of 76.8 per cent.”

You forgot Keys throat slitting gesture in Parliament just prior to the general election. Which disappeared very quickly. This is the influence of this shonky John Key.
Wow,…. that was so revealing that I’ve copied and pasted it , and will be sending it out to a few people who need to know a few things about the man…excellent job!
John Who?
We have a real prime minister in 2020
Diane’s advice #1 to John Key: “Wrap up your good mate Simon’s political career in one of your spare John Key Flags, chuck in 30 pieces of silver, before giving Soimon a ‘sincere valediction’ and smiling assassin send-off into political oblivion”
Diane’s advice #2 to John Key: “Tell your clone Luxon to leave women’s hair alone, not to try any vanity projects like changing the NZ fleg, not to try and make New Zealand a tax haven, not to use SIS as your own private investigator, and don’t, whatever Luxon does, try and get John Campbell fired from the Breakfast Show.”
‘Independent opinion’ for some, not for others, it seems due to TDB censorship.
