An unauthorised biography promising the “real story” of Dame Jacinda Ardern’s leadership and background is about to hit the shelves. Its author reveals some of his discoveries, away from a “tsunami of syrup”.
David Cohen contacted me last year and asked if I would agree to be interviewed for this book.
I’ve known Clarke for decades (we did shows together as DJs on Channel Z) and Jacinda (who had appeared many times on my Citizen A show) has baby sat my daughter.
I even gave Clarke her cell phone number to contact her after the mass surveillance protests I was leading because he wanted to talk to her as his constituent MP about his concerns, and that led to them dating.
I also had a lot of knowledge on what was going on behind the scenes of her Government so I originally said yes because I thought I might have some insight to provide.
I checked out his writing and didn’t really like anything he had written, but I was going along with it until the day of the interview and for some reason I just got a really weird vibe off him.
I can’t tell you what it was, but at the last minute (literally) I pulled out and didn’t go ahead with the interview.
I’m so fucking glad I did NOW I know that the backer of his book is the fucking Centrist!
The Centrist, as TDB has pointed out, is the new alt-Right hate blog started by alt-Right culture War Canadian Billionaire Jim Grenon, the same alt-right Billionaire who just took over NZME.
There’s no surprise that Shayne Currie (whom I have never liked after he allowed Rachel Clucina pretend to be a PR person in the pony tail pulling story) is kissing David Cohen’s arse, Cohen’s book is backed by the same Hate Blog that Jim Grenon, now Shayne’s boss, set up.
When a hate blog your boss has set up has a book to pimp, no one kisses as hard as Shayne.
The Centrist was behind the insinuation Benjamin Doyle was a pedohile, they publish anti-Trans hate, anti-Māori hate, anti-Treaty hate, anti-vaccine hate, and are climate deniers.
That they are behind Cohen’s book is like finding out your local kindergarten is run by the Nazgul.
If the alt-right culture war hate Blog is backing Cohen’s new book, it will be little more than a hatchet job on Jacinda.
Sometimes you need to listen to your gut about a vibe you get from someone.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
David Cohen is just not kosher
He’s about as popular as a pork chop in a synagogue, as far as Martyn’s concerned.
Sounds like another river of filth shit head trying to milk our great lady for every cent they can get from her popularity by slagging her off because nothing sells faster than hate .
Unfortunately for Cohen few people now give enough of a shit about Ardern to even read a hate-fest about her.
Xenophon I disagree with your views on Ardern and anyway who gives a flying fuck about a few people and what they think they are probably morons anyways.
