Hard News: Vision and dumbassery, in reply to BenWilson,
So now we’re going to spend the next 4 days talking about the veges.
No, arguing about the veges while the car is stolen, in broad daylight, from the driveway just metres away.

OnPoint: "Project SPEARGUN underway", in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Yes.
What other way would the e-mail be written? Remember Key has basically opened up the shop and said “help yourself”. To the execs eye's he’s bona fide, a 5Eyes player that has the right connections and wants, so desperately, to be part of the gang that he’ll give up all autonomy (and remember, just yesterday Key showed us by releasing the top secret Cortex docs that he regards NZ and it’s people as just a system to reinforce his own personality, especially when under threat) and will conform to any shape the United Corporations of America want.Crooks do all sorts of incredibly dumb things. They film themselves, incriminate through boasting, get so cocky that they believe they’re hidden in plain sight.
The e-mail may well be real because it is so explicit in its craven glee. Key guaranteed there was no-one home, no-one above the shop. They could steal all the lollys they wanted. He was their new best friend. It was going to be the coolest sleepover ever.

Notice that 'Cortex' was all Ryan would talk about in her 'interview' with Ferguson this morning on RNZ. She never mentioned Speargun even though this was the explicitly stated and presented evidence from Snowden.
Ferguson was given a free pass. Harre was talked over, ignored and disbelieved.
Appalling standard of journalism from Ryan who apparently wants to 'boil down' the information to a palatable soundbite for the incontinent, feeble-minded cretins that in her eyes make up the listening population of RNZ. -

The surveillance operation is called 'Speargun'. A weapon that penetrates objects with a spear attached to a cable.

Key. Dead man walking.

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to simon g,
yeah, first read it seems, well…perfect, really, too perfect. Then I thought about it and wondered 'how would the big cheese from hollywood write an e-mail about scoring a nice wedge from lil' ol' NZ?'
It's craven, self-serving, corrupt. Meat and potato to to the movie world.
I suspect KDC will have something else to back it up. -

Hard News: Dirty Politics, in reply to Bart Janssen,
No. This is where we are. The sporting analogy is perfect because it's the level Key wants it all to be at. Russell has recently posted that Key isn't 'stupid'. No, he's not stupid, you could say he's smart, he was trained in corporate bullshit and it's stuck. It has worked for him.
But he doesn't read. Doesn't show any interest in film or music. Doubtful he buys art except for possible investment. Can't speak of his poetry. Maybe he throws a steak on the grill now and then. Can't knit to save his life. Maybe he has some tropical fish?
Nah. It's golf. And hanging out with jocks, one of the lads in the changing rooms, dirty jokes, sweaty kits, but he prefers to be the bod in the sports jacket who gets to share the glory. He likes golf, worrying about his weight, staying off the booze..erm…did we mention golf?
Yeah, he's busy, right? I mean he's doing like 100 hours a week. But none of that time involves looking over OIA requests, you know ,'office' stuff. He has to walk it like he talks it so he does. Walk and talk. Talk and walk.
What goes on in that rapidly greying head? Who the fuck would know. Quite a few dreams about being caught out in public completely naked maybe? How great and shiny Dan Carter is? How does Obama do that cool off-the-cuff talking thing? Hunting down big german geezers from the back of a 4WD?
It's the void. De void, stoopid. He's the blank, fill him in. Ye spinners of the beehive, fill him in. Ye true-blue keepers of the flame, fill him in. Ye dead-eyed stepford wives and smart-in-suits telly 'personalities', fill him in. Ye foreign dignitaries jet-lagged and legless, fill him in. Ye malcontented fat-cetacean misfits glued to the cheap office chairs with leaking pizza cheese and thwarted desires, explode your spleens, spew your bile, fill him in.
Here comes saturday, a brand new colouring book. Everyone's invited, free coloured pencils. Here's your chance. Fill him in.
Or not.
