  1. The best way to counter all this crap is to rebuild a strong class left movement through community organising and direct action. Practical leadership for practical action.

    –A fighting central labour organisation, the current piss weak NZCTU leadership needs an urgent overhaul
    –A rejuvenated Aotearoa NZ marxist movement which is more than a shadow online entity

    • build a campaign for the overturn of the Parliamentary neo liberal consensus with a target of 2026 General Election
    • occupy empty residential and commercial property
    • ramp up Climate Strikes and related action
    • unite all who can be united across identity lines in class based action

  2. The sole role of the SIS and GCSB is to spy for the yanks. They don’t do anything for New Zealand or New Zealanders.

    1. To be honest I am going to take anything said by someone called Mohammed Khan with a pinch of salt (especially if that something is anything to do with the US).

      Cue calling me racist . . I don’t really care anyone because it is now so over-used it is becoming increasingly meaningless.

      1. Sorry that earlier comment was meant to read:

        Cue calling me racist . . I don’t really care anymore because it is now so over-used it is becoming increasingly meaningless.

        1. get up – stay on the scene, like a sex machine. I’d take anything from a discriminatory POS with a grain of salt too. (esp. if it has anything to do with judging people by their name) smacked any bitches up lately James?

  3. My confidence in the SIS plummeted when the head lady said she thought her department’s work would make a good reality television program. Back then, I barely knew what reality television was, but later saw people in Dunedin cooking meals for each other, a drunk Kiwi girl being put in an Australian cop car, wailing, “ But I’m sophisticated “, and I gather that people also go fishing for both fish and slimeball males, courtesy of TVNZ. Oh, and a Real Housewife of Auckland appeared online at the infamous Parliamentary demonstration, but I don’t know why, or how one gets to be real.

    These people have to keep themselves in jobs, but for such a small country, there seems to be rather a lot of them. The self-congratulatory centre at Victoria University, judging by its protagonists’ public utterances, looks a bit absurd anyway, but is possibly there to generate work for all the others. I seem to recall an ISIS bride’s scenario playing out not quite as presented, but whether Mallard exacerbated the demonstration deliberately or not looks as if it’s a state secret, but at least he’s one agent provocateur being shipped offshore.

  4. I read through that charming little booklet the Disinformation Project? SIS? put out. Stasi is not far from the truth, then we hear they’re inviting Muslims, Jewish orgs and Trans community etc to a hui about how to nark on members of your community or anyone you perceive as a threat.

    Then to top it off I watched TVNZs Web of Chaos (brought to you by NZ on Air of course) and nearly chucked the remote through the TV screen. It’s the silly Hanna woman from the Disnfo project (Fire and Fury fame) droning on again. What a smug individual. “Us poor people have to battle through days full of filth to keep NZ safe”

    Long story short the documentary makes the predictable and reasonable connection between the rise of social media and disinformation particularly in the political arena. It concludes that this disinformation is coming from a lot of different sources including big business, political lobbies, Putin, Xi and Kim etc. So this is a threat to Liberal democracies. Then it goes on to say that kids today brought up on social media are very cynical about all the information they receive, its just us trusting oldies that are being led astray by the QAmonners etc. Ultimately they say they are watching 200 individuals who could be a violent threat but it only takes 1 you know to attack the PM and then where are we?

    But here’s the thing, In order to grab your attention, they take you through the rise of violent social media platforms and show you all this incredibly violent stuff kids are watching. Having appalled you with these visuals and convinced you social media is bad they skip over that topic onto the so very important political threats.

    So hang on, we dont care that our children are being exposed En masse to hideous violence day in day out (and they wonder why we have a youth crime wave) but we do care that one of the 200 seriously disgruntled people who hate the Govt (after being treated badly and then ignored) may take a pot-shot at Jacinda or Nanaia!!

    And why I nearly chucked the remote? The Hanna woman at one point says that Pinterest and Instagram are promoting white supremacy!! Yes that’s right -she fervently nods her head – when you go on Pinterest looking for cool knitting patterns, the latest paint range, groovy baby clothes, recipes or interiors, we are actually supporting a northern European white supremacist culture. What absolute tripe! That we the taxpayer are paying for.

    So just you remember next time you go and look at a few pins for inspiration, be sure to rap yourself over the knuckles and solemnly remind yourself that you are supporting White Supremacy!! White culture is bad culture by implication.

  5. If there were no vaccine mandates and people were allowed to make their own decisions about what was best for their own bodies (without comment from anyone else, let alone judgement, let alone PUNISHMENT) then none of this rubbish would have happened. There’s literally nothing to blame except the disgusting coercive public health policy which forced people to take a novel treatment at the barrel of a gun.

  6. The problem is NZ is catapulting into being a divided, marketing led, fake shamanism society with bogus polls run by idiots being touted incorrectly as ways to create policy and people with silver tongues and an identity angle, being more important than facts and figures.

    Science has been lost in NZ. Scientists are bullied wherever they go and most are forced out of NZ by the corporate bullies and less qualified peers who used marketing and identity led tactics to keep the status quo.

    Scientists are ‘undermined by attack campaigns’ – expert
    https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/63816549/scientists-are-undermined-by-attack-campaigns—expert

    Instead of banning attack campaigns Labeen seem to have joined the Natz in doubling down on making hard science and research even worse off (if that is even possible in NZ). The obsession with Maori identity, gender identity and so forth has become more important than hard science that will help protect all of society including Maori and those of various genders. Woman’s rights and safe spaces seem to be disappearing fast under Labour and the Greens. Gangs are increasing and harm to others.

    Bullying and misinformation is rife in NZ – fully supported by NZ media.

    An article penned by Siousxie Wiles and published on Stuff.co.nz has been found to have breached media standards.

    Even the labeen war against working class landlords via rushed through taxes and legislation – leaving business led landlords, foreign led landlords, gang led initiatives and very questionable housing with rapes occurring at emergency accomodation. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2022/11/woman-in-hamilton-emergency-housing-motel-raped-by-gang-members-with-her-children-nearby-sister-says.html

    Did that save more money for the taxpayers and provide better accomodation going forward?

    Nope it seem Labeens new laws have tripled the rents and provide a quarter of the space of the previous rental options. Not sure that is helping tenants, or the working class but great for fake charities, woke charities, the right wingers, and all our new business led landlords. Apparently the trucking firms are becoming landlords now, so that means you have your poorly paid job and accomodation run by the same people. Not exactly progress when NZ was voted 2nd to last as a place to work in.

    And are NZ private rents high compared to other countries? Nope they are lower than the UK, Singapore and Australia while our low wages and high bank interest charges seem to be a big problem, seldom talked about and certainly not a target for workable government intervention that other countries have.

  7. Meanwhile, you and the mainstream media continue ignoring the actual threat to democracy and the rule of law – the tribal sovereignty movement. Four days ago, Claire Charters, the lead author of He Puapua, published an opinion piece in E-Tangata in which she sets out to radicalise readers into believing the Crown is governing illegally, our courts are upholding illegal laws, and that if we don’t accept some kind of one-country, two-nation regime, the country will remain “unstable” and “our attachment to the state and our adherence to law could falter.”

    So while we are busy chasing real or imagined alt-right campers that pose a threat to the security of our people and our democracy, we are distracted from those on the inside of our parliamentary buildings, who, along with radicalised academics and tribal leaders, are quite literally breaking our democratic systems and norms to reestablish a system of tribal rule.

    1. And what’s probably also true – the hate speech laws will be applied to anyone who stands against this antidemocratic new wave.

    2. mana motuhake is a real issue for Maori – get used to it – they aren’t going away.

  8. All this money and we can’t stop someone from attacking the PM’s office.

    An extra 300 million into education would be money better spent.

  9. who those union organisers,the workers keep electing them, without intimidation, what our thought to do.S,I.s,small egit,our humanity care who why we keep electing those of our care.
