Announce protest actions, general chit chat or give your opinion on issues we haven’t covered for the day.

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.

All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.

EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, 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.

    Oh gosh and golly. What can we do. Brings to mind a nursery rhyme about a bold young feller who went to a fair to buy up things that would give him what he wanted, perhaps the ISA is like that, (International Seabed Authority).
    Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
    Dear, dear, what can the matter be?
    Oh, dear! What can the matter be?
    Johnny’s so long at the fair.
    He promised he’d buy me a fairing should please me,
    And then for a kiss, oh, he vowed he would tease me.
    He promised he’d bring me a bunch of blue ribbons
    To tie up my bonny brown hair.

    This goes back to around 1770. And back then they were already up to nefarious things in the world, not just entertaining innocent children! There is another version about seven old ladies locked in a lavatory – perhaps that is like the ISA too.

  2. Don’t miss this post – look out for it over there. https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2025/04/04/why-the-bigotry-against-hemp/
    The story behind why hemp is made out to be the Big Scary Monster will probably have had a book/s written about it. We could have had another thriving and good industry here, and perhaps not had to resort to selling our dwellings like lemmings following strange uncontrollable death leaps. Who knows? But our foremost political and financial players have warped our society to their own ends and hemp/cannabis is one no-no.

    Why – there is a story as fantastic as the Jews punishing the world through the Palestinians by treating their land as a concentration camp and then eliminating them. WW2 and WW1 have a lot to answer for. Can’t we get our minds clean of the rotten thoughts that have embedded themselves in our brain cells? But the problem is that by saying that, I may start some corporation to build a mind cleansing app so we can forget all the nasty things we have done; every idea is a way of making money in the neolib society (or whatever society has become – horde, rabble?)

  3. This sounds like a different take on the Palestine and Israel disaster than what I have so far taken in.

    …An important but largely concealed CIA report, titled “Israel: The Sephardi-Ashkenazi Confrontation and Its Implications,” is almost prophetic in its ability to detail future scenarios for a country with deep socio-economic and, therefore, political divisions.
    The report was prepared in 1982, but was only released in 2007. It followed the 1981 elections, where the Likud Party, led by Menachem Begin, won 48 seats in the Knesset, and Labor’s Shimon Peres won 47 seats.

    Ashkenazi (Western) Jews had for decades dominated all aspects of power in Israel. This dominance makes sense: Zionism was essentially a Western ideology, and all elements of the state—military (Haganah), parliamentary (Knesset), colonial (Jewish Agency), and economic (Histadrut)—were largely composed of Western European Jewish classes….

    It sounds as if this guy has found the end of the rainbow – he is so full of positivity and bonhomie (I don’t know the Maori word for that. Maybe I don’t hear it expressed often enough. But there are plenty of Maori doing good with the people, it just seems that the ones who get to the top don’t seem to manage to bring enough along with them to spread it amongst all the people of the motu.)
