Again, thanks everyone!

Why does it disturb you Cleangreen the man is an idiot (nash) ps. i voted labour @ the last election but if they don’t get their shit together i wont vote for them next time.

This is by no means a new phenomenon. It has been around for decades at the least within the confines of the NZ Public Service. The main difference: with the rapid advancement of technology, the nature of the attacks have changed over the years. In the old days they were more ‘hands on’ but now it is possible to remotely attack an individual without their knowledge as happened to Martyn Bradbury.

There must be many former Public Servants who have extraordinary stories to tell, but they have never been heard. This is because there were state sanctioned cover-ups at the time and back then there were few avenues for the average person to pursue justice. The police were reluctant to to take on such cases even when criminal behaviour was evident.

My crime back in the 1970s and 80s? I joined the Labour Party. What is more I was an activist within the party. This (apparently) firmly cast me in the role of suspected subversive. My situation was exacerbated by a few malevolent individuals (one in particular) spreading false stories. The fallout from that era continued long after I left the Service.

If an enterprising journalist devoted time and energy to researching these historical cases, they would find a rich source of material revealing the nasty underbelly of The Establishment – in all its manifestations – and how they destroyed the lives and careers of individuals for no justifiable reason. It was particularly notable during the years of the Muldoon government.

I, also finish up with a quote:
“The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter, which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their “level of incompetence”.

And that, based on my own case, was/is the nub of the problem – incompetency, stupidity and paranoia in both the public and private sectors.

Tolley should get the sack for what she did and to say she was cross and tired not good enough

Yes, it seems no coincidence that much of all this rot happened under the John Key led govt, esp these above. And while Labours done its fair share of power abusing , they pale into insignificance compared to the John Key crowd. And Bennett , … that Bennett… why has she not been sacked…instead, she is now deputy leader of the same slimy morass known as the National party.

While the 4th Labour govt could be said to be the most ‘treasonous’ in running roughshod over the wishes of New Zealanders and lying through their teeth when doing so , – the Key led govt and its senior Ministers would easily be the most corrupt in modern history.

And the MSM has deliberately aided and abetted this process by supporting those corrupt leaders, and helping in the smear campaigns against those singled out. I haven’t posted about Mr Bradbury’s victory but I was happy. I would also like to see Mr Dotcom and friends given full pardons as they were another group wrongfully targeted under that despicable Key led govt. As was Mr Hagar.

What we are seeing regards Mr Peters taking MP’s from the former National party to court led by Key is an extension of that neo liberal filth ideology both the MSM and the Key led govt operated / operate under. The MSM should have been all over these wrongful uses of power like the proverbial fly’s on sh-t.

Instead they weren’t, and are still acting in the same way. The fact that the victory by Mr Bradbury barely got a mention demonstrates that. The fact that they tacitly supported increased covert surveillance over 9 years of Keys govt , – unchallenged, – by their silence also demonstrates their culpability. And the only time they ever spoke out was when it affected them directly , which wasn’t that often and afterwards… were soon cowed into silence. Or when it was muck raking against an individual and giving more of an opinion piece rather than reporting the facts.

“One rotten apple in the barrel makes the whole barrel of apples rotten” comes to mind so with those two Key/Joyce makes the Wellington swamp smell rotten very quickly.

The Police minister has been strangely quiet over this?

I would expect him to step into this confirming ‘Martyn’s total vindication’ over this ‘sham effort to bully Martyn’.

But it seems Mr Nash does not want to clear Martyn’s name entirely?

This is disturbing me greatly here.
