The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
Here is the recipe for success for NZ and perhaps a political Party.

…A Christchurch restaurant which operates irregular opening hours and without a menu has been dubbed one of the city’s “best kept secrets”….
As a result, the most reliable source of intelligence for hopeful diners is a popular Facebook page.
The page was started nearly a decade ago by a pair of loyal customers, who quickly picked up on its uncanny operation when working in Addington.
The ‘Is AFG Open’ page now has more than 10,000 members.
Most days a person asks on the page whether the restaurant will be opening that particular night, often in the most inventive way possible.
Some resort to poetry, others to complimentary descriptions, in an attempt to mitigate the monotony of the same question offered up daily.
Great buzz there ot seems. Let’s have a positive political movement in NZ that it is fun to belong to where you meet good people with ideas that are good for themselves and the community! Where you make connections with fun people who want to have a hand in getting the country on to a friendly, practical, co-operative basis that works for all and enables all with both opportunities and help to support themselves – with some to share.
A circular economy where there is always something going on and something round for sharing, and everyone puts in as they can and respects and wishes others well and that in turn comes back to them. We are cast down but positive action is good to dispel depression.

Look at how Noam Chomsky spoke in 1971 when he was still young and is still going. This is about Daniel Ellsberg revealing secret papers – is it what Julian Assange did? Are we going round in ever decreasing circles down the plughole. Do something perhaps – and then lighten up with Bobby McFerrin to keep up your spirits and life force.

In a discussion on de-dollarisation:
The alternative to the “cross of gold” was for governments to ensure that sufficient currency circulated to keep business going. For this purpose, they could produce, instead of commodity money of gold or silver, token or “fiat” money: paper currency issued at will by the state treasury. The trouble with token money, however, was that it could not circulate on foreign soil. How, then, in a global economy, would it be possible to conduct foreign trade in commodity money and domestic business in token money?
The ‘bold’ question is immensely interesting isn’t it. Why do the poor have to suffer from not having the basics because we are linked into a predatory international financial system that has brought uncomfortable inflation to our shores. The poor spend not much on foreign-based transactions. We the poor, shouldn’t be les miserables unable to eat because we can’t get cake or brioche! Just chewy black bread dipped into vegetable soup would suffice at a push.
Read on in the article on how the various major countries dealt with the need for sufficient hard currency for their purposes as in Spain and Portugal. Britain had quite a few tricks up its sleeve; and India and China. The cross-currents of money affect everything in our societies.
Slave trading came into the desire for more funds. I thought of Belgium and what happened on the Congo under their King. The link below related to a meeting in France in 1919 establishing rules about matters of upholding standards, and our PM Mr W.F. Massey spoke relating certain things that would affect NZ’s indigenous population.

Citizens coming forward to do what our 1984 government would have been doing. Those days gone – lost to rewards, blandishments from financial interests for gummint to open everything previously public direct to private contracting to do part for gummint. Time for citizens to rise with brain and plan, not just protest. That’s a big thing for participants but a sideshow for complacent politicians most interested in continuing their career.
