    More importantly – why did you choose to delete it when you are supposed to covet and support FREEDOM OF SPEECH ?

  6. Can Labour Survive?

    The latest Colmar Brunton poll, taken in the first week of this month and issued earlier this week, shows yet another fall in support for Labour, now down to just 26%, with National steady on 48% and the Greens and NZ First rising to 13% and 11% respectively. Given that National is now almost two-thirds of the way through its third term, one might expect the shine to have gone off the Key-led government and Labour to be ahead in the polls instead of so far behind. Moreover, Andrew Little is the fourth Labour leader since the party, then led by Helen Clark, lost the 2008 election. Plus, it’s not as if there aren’t some serious issues which National has been very clearly unable to get sorted – in particular rising house prices, especially in Auckland.

    So why can’t Labour get traction? Is the Labour Party in terminal decline? Should serious leftists be at all concerned?

    “What was a ray of hope has turned into a gaze into the abyss. The Russia-US ceasefire to end the Syrian conflict is in tatters. For many the American bombing of the Syrian military marks a process of mission creep and forced regime change.

    Former Wall St. Banker Suggests Global Debt May Not be Owned by Humans

    Is the world economy a closed system or an open system? In other words, are the world’s financial elite conducting transactions with off-planet entities, enslaving the human race to unseen actors?

    The world’s people are held in perpetual bondage to the fiat currency money masters who have saddled us with absolutely insurmountable debt obligations which are mathematically impossible to repay. At present, the CIA estimates the total global debt to be nearing $90 trillion.

    “In 2013, according to the CIA’s World Factbook, the GWP totalled approximately US $87.25 trillion in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP), and around US $74.31 trillion in nominal terms.” [Source]

  11. Watching today’s Parliamentary QT, it appears Paula Bennett is no longer ‘pulling levers’.
    She’s now “Bending Curves”.

    Christ Almighty – really – where do they frikken come from?

    Nigel Latter’s last was also rather interesting. It’s a shame he didn’t do an analysis of Musta Spoika’s facial reactions in response to questions from the opposition, and those patsy questions from the loyal following
    The latter (pardon the unfunny pun) always renders a smartarse little smirk – whereas if it the Q is from the opposition, some form of chastising is forthcoming.
    Like I said – where do they frikken come from? Musta Spoika of course should appear to be Mejustereal at or toimes.

  12. By what right did Key attend the Refugee Summit?
    It was only for those who were prepared to up their quota.
    And that presumably doesn’t mean…potentially…over time…
    But honestly…he’s such a good bloke, who would have the heart to tell him he can’t come?
