  • Hard News: Of Monsters and Old Boys,

    This is of course the ultimate scam by the Epsom whitefellas. Back in the late 90's and early noughties nearly everyone flogged the family pile off to a recent arrival usually from south east asia occasionally from Mt Roskill. Made a huge profit and built something suitably tasteless out beyond the black stump. The major selling point for the former pile - <B>That it was in the Grammar zone.</B> was blissfully ignored while the young'uns were still biting ankles, what. Anyway they could always go to St Kent's - maybe heaven forefend even Kings, on the interest from the return on the buckets of cash that were got for the pile.

    Reality check. Washissname the slimy chap from 4c ran off with the take from selling Shipherd's Ave and put his finance company under. There is no money left for young Tristram's schooling and bugger me dead Grammar won't take him even though they know he will be the 4th generation Thickaspigshit to attend the school! Say they would like to but can't. Saythat the Education Ministry commies and dykes would come down on 'em like a ton of bricks!

    So we'll get Richard and Rodney to amend the education act - abolish school zoning That way our children can get into Grammar ahead of the 'Asians' we sold our children's Grammar place to when we sold our Epsom piles. Then when the already depressed property market realises the grammar zone no longer exists and the house in Epsom prices fall even further we'll pick up the old house for a song.

    That way when Tristam Thickaspigshit finishes school - by which time Labour getsback in government and reinstates school zoning, we'll flog the pile off to some other mug fresh off the boats.

    Seriously this is the thinking that goes on among these parasitical scum. And although they may be cunning as shit house rats, they aren't smart.

    I did a lag at Grammar in the 60's and was accidentally stuck in the top class for a while. Back in those days they didn't have strict zoning. If you lived in the zone you were allowed in, but they took 30% of kids from outside the zone. There were two others besides myself from within the zone that were in the top class - everyone else in 3a was creamed outta other schools (mostly west Auckland co-eds).

    All the 'not white' kids who weren't jewish were crammed into 3cgen and 3dgen 40 to a form - only 26 in 3a.
    No that's not right I had a mate, a Samoan bloke (also from within the zone) who did even better they I did in their asinine entrance exam. His parents were summoned by he who must be obeyed and told that their kind didn't do well at Latin and therefore their son was going to be put in 3agen not the 3a to which he was entitled.
    The kid went down to 3ag and despite the best efforts of all staff to hinder him he consistently came top of class and outscored any of his classmates by a country mile.
    Obviously some sort of long term strategy was needed to ensure this chap didn't cause any 'trouble' in the 5th and 6th form by getting really high marks in public exams. Even in those days Grammar was not popular with the education ministry commies and questions would be asked if their streaming contained such a large discrepancy.

    A couple of the more slimy and malleable prefects were tasked with getting rid of my friend at the start of his 4th form year.
    They pursued the fellow mercilessly during lunch times and decided that he was showing his 'uppityness' by keeping his hands in his pockets when they spoke to him so one decided to try and physically remove this much younger and smaller pupil's hands from his pockets. The young fella demurred and dropped the prefect like the sack of shit he was.
    Aha end of problem a pupil who had been quiet and academically over-achieving was expelled on the spot when he who must be obeyed learned one of his favourite ass lickers had been given a well deserved hiding by the kid.

    Of course Grammar claims things have changed since then. On the surface some things have altered as the NZ culture has evolved but after meeting and greeting some of the current crop of Grammar boys I would have to say the mindset is the same as it ever was.

    I moved out of the Grammar zone as my own sons reached their adolescence. Not to make money on the property bubble but because I love my kids and there is no way I would want them to be subjected to the warped thinking that such schools promulgate.

    The 'boys only' thing whereby the only female some Grammar boys talk with during their secondary education, is their mum, is particularly mind-bending.

    Even now whenever I hear some Grammar alumni talking,be it some businessperson or some minor sporting hero on the TV, I can still hear the echoes of that boastful ego-tripping that I and all my schoolmates acquired there, and which many of us worked hard to rid ourselves of.
    If a strict zone is kept in place for another decade so that Grammar can no longer cream from other regions the school will be shown to be just another state school whose successes depend on the quality of effort the teaching staff put in. No more free rides. That means the other less appealing facets of the school could no longer be excused and would have to be addressed.

  • Hard News: Te Qaeda and the God Squad,

    Of course media/establishment apologists such as Brown would characterise my representation of the unjust incursion into activists' lives as the allegation of of a conspiracy theorist.

    Brown's facile insight into the ways of the world are so shallow it makes one wonder what he does with all his gallivanting. Certainly no reflecting on how it is one and one makes two.

    Conspiracies are clumsy efforts by concrete thinkers to attain something by way of a pre-planned strategy. They rarely work in reality and are prone to gossip and unfulfilled undertaking.

    The Labor Government, the Police, the security establishment and the media arrived at the fine notion of oppressing the remnants of NZ activists as separately as their divergent goals.

    The confluence was of interests not people.

    Events such as the Ruatoki raid happen rather like the free market - by way of Adam Smith's invisible hand. That is if sufficient people in positions of authority in a community want/need something to happen, that need creates a demand. That demand is met by way of infinite circumstance. In this case a couple of Auckland hunters didn't like being made to feel like outsiders by Tuhoe people tired of the prevailing attitude that any kiwi can go anywhere they want, without demonstrating any respect at all for the locals birthright.

    That one event may have normally caused a couple of coppers to go out to Ruatoki and to tell the locals to ease up. Maybe the coppers did do that. The intractable problems caused by whitefellas imagining they own everything no questions asked needs to be treated sensibly. There is no right or wrong here only mankind's need to control the territory around them.
    Generally that is how this stuff is handled but in this case it wasn't for a range of initially probably local reasons -see whitefella councillor ex-copper with an axe to grind.

    The town I live in is full of hunters 90% of whom spout racist right wing clap trap at the sight of a koru, no one polices them or spies on them for saying things like. "I can't tell you the number of times that I've had one of those environmental protesters in my sights when they've been carrying on sitting up trees and stuff, out in our bush. One day I will pull the trigger." cue everyone laughing and swigging away.

    Lefties aren't allowed to play with guns. Maoris can under extremely limited circumstance, but not unsupervised around whitefellas. (N.B. it is worth noting that at least 14 people from all over NZ have been charged so far. The selective leaking of specific facts against one 'defendant' is lumped together in the public consciousness to incriminate all those charged. Many will not know each other or have any links outside the usual 3 degrees of separation that applies to everyone in NZ. Imagine if the police rapists had been charged this way. All at once with everyone's evidence lumped into one hit. The evidence at the first case in Tauranga would have incriminated Rickard even though he wasn't there.)

    As the operation progressed some of the following inter alia needs played out:

    The police and security establishment's motives are the usual. After a lifetime working in bureaucracies around the world, I can picture exactly how the pressure for a 'result on terror' built up.

    One of the curses of the OECD and the plethora of other Globalist agendas such as APEC has been the way that the administrations of members have been standardised by swapping mid to senior level bureaucrats between countries.

    There was a time when NZ would innovate policy. No longer Helen of Beehive usually grabs from Bliar-Brown Britain, Key's corporate kiddies look to amerika.

    If you thought some Scunthorpe refugee is unbearable when he incessantly points out that things were done better "back home by gum", try working under some local up and comer who has been wined dined and fed bullshit on his/her 'overseas posting'.

    In an administration of reasonably longstanding vintage such as the current NZ one, the public servants and the ministers have often received the same new policy widgets and indoctrinations from different angles, so all are "reading from the same page".

    NZ's security industry has long been made to feel like the poor relation at international conferences. This even pre-dates the anti-nuke bust up, and the subsequent highly embarrassing arrest of two 'friendlies' during the Rainbow Warrior affair. Those issues are ancient history, but the traditional poor resourcing of NZ security services isn't.

    All their mates in the whitefella security club have been getting mobs more money, human resources and best of all police state style powers. Stuff that the kiwi spooks would die for.

    The 2002 anti Terra Act
    was a pretty watered down version of the police state stuff all the other whitey countries and their colonies got to protect themselves from unwhite people.

    So a new one is on the books. This one is designed to by-pass courts, lawyers and all that boring and unpredictable stuff.

    All that will be required to determine if a group or activity is terror related will be a set of numbered instructions from the UN security council. That way only those who US, China, UK, France and Russia have no vested interest in will be dealt to. Of course that also means that there will be no way for some kiwi to get his/her status 'reviewed'.
    No more appeals for people from deemed groups means no more Ahmed Zaoui type 'embarrassments. That saga would have been the cause of much derision at the biennial Conference of Mid-level Administrators of Security.(COMAS)

    But many ordinary Kiwi's (to paraphrase Helen of Beehive) probably won't think much of the plan. Unless...? Brown fellas carrying guns could do the trick. Most NZers have a vague uneasiness about the litany of atrocities and rip-offs Maori have endured and this is most often processed into contempt mingled with fear. See the most recent evidence.

    Teachers claim they are being bullied to take part in a programme aimed at boosting Maori achievement in the classroom and are considered "anti-Maori" if they don't, a new report says.

    The Government-funded Te Kotahitanga programme aims to turn around damning Maori education statistics by a range of methods, including putting more emphasis on Maori cultural content and changing teachers' attitudes towards Maori students.

    When teachers are told that it would be smart to learn other things, say new technology and it's impact on the way children can be taught, they generally thank their boss for the heads up. This doesn't apply with Maori education though. Despite the fact that NZ's education system has failed Maori students since it's inception, now that some techniques have been developed which address some Maori education issues, when teachers are told that it would be smart to learn the new techniques, if they can successfully turn around Maori education statistics in their class it would be good for their careers, they don't say "Thanks for the heads up boss, I'll get right onto it." No they run off to the ministry claiming they are being 'bullied'.

    Ooops another digression- Sorry class back to today's topic.

    If anything will get this act through it will be that crass appeal to Pakeha insecurity. The scenario is pretty much win-win. If the terra-ists get done like a dinner most everyone will think the security services are marvelous and deserve a hand and the act will be passed with hardly a murmur.

    If the prosecutions fail then NZ's weak legislation will be blamed and the act will be passed with hardly a murmur.

    So that is part the police and security industry's 'need' although things may be even more petty than that. One of the defendants is bringing a private prosecution against several police for assault. He called his own press conference to elucidate on that and what he felt the case was about for him and lo and behold a copper turned up in the middle of it telling him he needed to get his ass to the High Court for an appeal against his bail.

    Now he's in the Mount we probably won't hear more from him for a while. Of course it will be devilish awkward for him to put together his private prosecution whilst incarcerated.

    Next the politicians.

    The conservative nature of security operatives (and yes this includes within alleged leftist regimes) means that the Nats will be happy to see the power of security services increased.
    Labour Party pols have a rather more urgent and desperate need.

    Every poll shows them being snipped away from both sides. Key and his greedheads have been reasonably successful at pretending that tax cuts, and increases health and education expenditure can be achieved without flogging off the few chattels remaining.

    So Labour has been banking big time on gaining some ground back on environment issues.

    However not everyone who cares about this planet believes a system of papal indulgences where polluters can pollute as long as they spend money on planting trees and the like makes much sense.

    Firstly there is too much emphasis on global warming. No one seems to notice that the % of mankind related carbon excretion is tiny. Worst of all the multiplicity of toxins are still secreted. Eco-system destruction continues unabated.

    The really big winner out of the perverse 'environment policy' is likely to be the nuclear power industry. The real losers will be poorer people who will have to pay more for everything (the carbon credit scheme will be passed straight on to the consumer) especially with food where increased production costs will be compounded by decreased supply as vast tracts of food producing lands are turned over to growing crops for making 'bio-fuels'.

    NZers will be hit by much higher energy costs (carbon credits costs roll to the bottom of the hill).

    Yet there has been no real debate about any of this. So far anyone in NZ who has tried to speak out on this issue is branded a Luddite who doesn't believe 95% of the world's scientists or doesn't care about the planet. No one seems to ask how the "Fart tax" was dismissed as bad science four years ago when now even the cockies are talking global warming.

    The green movement have been girding their loins and developing the information. The parliamentary greens know they have to play this one carefully.

    Pointing out the social injustices of reducing protection of the environment to 'indulgences' with a carbon credit scheme must be done very carefully; lest the baby go out with the bathwater and environmental protection goes off the agenda again.

    Just as it did when Labour mishandled these issues in 03.

    Labour knows the onslaught will come and it also knows that the Greens are seen by many as a credible alternative for caring Kiwis.

    Labour has a need for seeing elements of the Green left discredited. Circumstance will meet that need, just as water flows downhill through a labyrinth of trickles until pressure pushes the water through the most direct route. NO conspiracy is required, all that is needed is a willingness to take advantage any eventuality.

    The police operation against activists especially green left activists would have been seen by Helen of Beehive as a chance too good to be missed. Any Labour realists left standing must recognise that getting creamed in 08 at the same time as the Greens and the Maori Party consolidate their position spells doom for 'their brand'.

    So Helen approved the operation and is currently standing back to see which way the wind will blow.

    Conspiracies are old hat ways of looking at the world and entirely too clumsy to be effective. Those on the left in amerika who haven't quite forsaken amerikan exceptionalism are fond of blaming 911 on some evil right wing conspiracy.

    The pricks didn't need to conspire they just played the numbers.

    The architects of amerika's Patriot Act set the method of play on this. They knew that all they had to do was keep the draft Act up to date and eventually they would run into the ideal circumstance which would cause the normally libertarian amerikan public to drop their guard. A dozen annoyed middle-class Arabs did the business on 911. That was pretty much all it took to destroy a couple of hundred years of precedents and protections. True the amerikan security mob probably released a little anthrax to keep the whole thing bubbling along, but even that wouldn't have taken too much whispering in back rooms or whatever conspiracists are meant to do. Even finding the patsy, the person to be 'blamed' for the out-break was simple. The seppos got the instrument of their own oppression.

    Shit here we are again digressing well away from NZ's small pond and even smaller fish pretending to be big.

    One of the most sickening attributes of mainstream media for want of a cliche is the brown-noses who populate the opinion pages. When I lived in Oz I used to loathe David McNicholl brown-nose to a couple of generations of Packers, McNicholl acted more like a chinless englishmen rather than the Australian he was born. His ethical nardir was as part of the media push to quell protest after the Whitlam dismissal. McNicholl could write though and unlike many of the contemporary crop of commentators eager to join the establishment by reducing events to a bland mish mash, he made no secret of his conservatism.

    In other words he was outspoken about his position. It seems all we get nowadays are weak assed apologists, the 'yes but' brigade. Yes the police did raid activists in a scatter gun attempt to tar alternative thinkers with the terra-ist brush, but no they weren't wrong, when the truth comes out you will see, my sources tell me.
    If nothing does come out at trial we will be told that the arcane and archaic court system prevented this. Next thing you know they will be supporting the removal of the judicial process from decisions about who is a terra-ist. Streamlining the process until there is no due process.

    That won't be because of some grand conspiracy where selected journalists and mainstream bloggers were told what to write. No one has to tell them they need to be on the side their bread is buttered.

  • Hard News: The standing-still sweep,

    Of all the things coppers will get up to in their fruitless attempt to restore public confidence in themselves, even this old cynic never thought they'd sink so low as to round up the tattered remnants of NZ's political non-mainstreamers under some prevention of terrorism bullshit.

    I shouldn't be surprised at this unholy alliance between the do anything for a vote government and the do anything for another wide-ranging law, that allows lots of power and no accountability police force, but I am.

    Once again the Labour Party tries to shore itself up by attacking the fringe to their left rather than competing with Key and the greedheads.

    The thing that doesn't surprise me is the ease with which so many have jumped to accept this fantasy.

    Ask yourself this. If the police really thought when they were catching up with crazed Maori Leftist Greenie Animal lovers, that these people were really dangerous terra-ists why did they take a TV3 crew with them.

    Apart from the fact they may have been injured by stray bullets or suicide bombers, if the danger was that great and these people were so pervasive in our society how did they know TV3 news hadn't been infiltrated by the alleged terra-ists?

    This was a PR exercise to try and shore up a couple of creaking institutions actually three institutions including the media.

    Our media who have said nothing about the way that some of the few people who do stand up and present alternative notions of what NZ could be, have been rolled up like an old rug.

    But of course! What else would they do? I mean the government and the police are better 'news sources' than old radicals.
    Why let ethics stand in the way of selling garbage headlines? That would be as silly as letting the facts get in the way of a good story.
    Of course those who have a mutually beneficial relationship with the lazy, uninformed drunks who make up NZ's media will deny this and pedantically argue around the fringes, but time will show this farce up for what it is.
    We'll discover than many many dollars have been spent on undercover agents and phone taps, listening devices and videos of a disparate bunch of free-thinkers mouthing off about what they should do, but never will.

    The notion of NZ having any sort of uprising however 'fringe' when finally for the first time in 50 years there is a couple of dollars slushing around, flies in the face of history.

    I suppose it makes a change for the security alliance from blowing hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars on the surveillance of Russian petty crims but this one will leave a lot more egg on a lot more faces.

    When it turns out this was a furphy peeps are gonna be very angry and disappointed. It was NZ's chance to prove it's a real place with real terra-ists I mean you can't dine out on the Rainbow Warrior for ever can you.

  • Yellow Peril: My patch: Chinese whispers…,

    Something that isn't a joke which should be considering the body was found in a car parked in Keystone St, has been the appallingly slow and insouciant attitude of the police to this tragedy.

    They are either covering up their mistakes or simply don't care about 'Chinese' people.

    When this lowlife turned up at Henderson nick to get his passport and the weapon he last injured her with, wouldn't it have been smart to ensure everything was copacetic with the missus? Given he's a known wifebasher and all.

    Any of you other blokes you have travelled overseas with young children and no mother will probably have experienced the same hoop jumping as I have yet this bloke appears to have been waved through, when a rudimentary check there would have shown that he was a wifebashing a..hole.
    It goes on from there. Right from the start police knew the chap's history but acted as though there was no panic. As soon as they reluctantly owned that he was a woman beater it was blindingly obvious what had occured yet they sailed past the chaps car for days before they looked into it.

    What's the big deal?
    Well what if the poor woman was unconscious when she was put in there? If the stink hadn't attracted their attention by last night you'd have to think that she may have been alive in that car for a while.

    Of course the wife bashing industry hasn't covered themselves in glory either. They are quick to stick their paws out for money when tax dollars are on offer, building refuges from a to breakfast - even quicker to come knocking on doors asking for cash by scaring the women and guilt tripping the blokes, yet by all accounts this young woman and her daughter were on their own when it came to dealing with this recidivist bashing low life piece of garbage.

    As for the name furphy I'm less concerned about the pumpkin thing than the way that this young fellow NZer has had all her private business trumpeted around two countries when the tragedy surfaced.

    None of the news has sought to be helpful. It has all been sensationalist drama designed to titillate nosey-parkers and stickybeaks.

    Our young compatriot needs help not gossip and we need to know that our police will provide help quickly and effectively without concern for covering up mistakes made at the Henderson Police station or hesitation because of the victim's race.
