Hard News: Doing over the witness, in reply to Russell Brown,
If you’d like to help Nicky Hager with legal costs related to the search and action he has begun to retrieve his materials, there’s a GiveALittle fund.
Is this anonymous?

It is time to stand up, people, and reclaim your democracy, or else it will be lost forever
It already is, cant you see that? Whilst nice to see you are now disillusioned, this had been heading this way for the last 6 years and under Labour ,they bought into the concept also. As David Parker said (RB linked to it) this is wrong. So now it's John Keys fault. His love affair with USA has us heading there at record breaking speed. The GCSB legislation enlightened us then.

The benefit of the doubt I’m giving they police is that they know better than we armchair critics how to manage there resources.
You mean like massaging figures in crime stats to maintain their budget?

Against who? The police have said they are not investing Hager in relation to any crime, no one has suggested he’ll face any charges
Hey witnesses don't get all their stuff confiscated. Bloody simple as that. Get real.

There’s clearly no way that Rawshark (or Whaledump, or whatever) knew that he was acting in the public interest when he targeted Slater’s communications.
Why would he go to Hager once he had it? Clearly he felt he was the best person to deal with the material so I disagree. This was in the public interest and he knew it once it was in his hands and acted accordingly. To suggest his timing of discovery was purely selfish then that is a question to debate but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt just because it was Slime and that excuse for a man has no principles therefore anything goes in his book.

Hard News: Doing over the witness, in reply to CJM,
And of course, they want you to know they can enter your house and record all aspects of the way you live and your personal circumstances at their leisure (10 hours worth). Explicit intimidation.
Police do this whenever they want. Suspicion of Drugs gets them in without a warrant and if they discover anything else ,well all good they say. !0 hours is intimidation but if the police are there at the behest of the GCSB or SIS, this is what John Key has created. Of course they will do their bidding first , Judith et al will wait as long as it takes to bury anything of importance. Frankly the police could have got there earlier than the 6 weeks so they may have needed the 6 weeks to read the book and they would have been visiting Hager's lectures to gather intelligence. When they had nothing new, they would have acted. If as it was suggested they seemed sheepish in their raid, I would suggest they actually sympathise with Hager because they know it is more rotten on the other side but have no ability to question the Government unless allowed by said Government.David Parker's complaint wont show up anything strong enough to act on. The modus operandi of raids seems to be the same each time I've been involved. If this was as they say, they would have hit more than just Hager at the same time.

Speaker: An Open Letter To David Cunliffe, in reply to Kumara Republic,
If the global boycott really did go ahead, how would middle NZ react? Would it wake up to what’s happening on the seas? Or would it go Tea Party over why the catch of the day is off the menu?
The Govt would spend 3 weeks blaming Labour. Middle NZ would be allowed to eat the glut of seafood at knock down price. TeamKey would fudge the News announcing that “everyone gets a snapper” ’cos that’s what NZers really care about. Of course credit to Team Key. When information finally got noticed, TeamKey would announce it was a left wing smear campaign conspiracy theory and it would be Nicky Hager’s fault. Middle NZ would agree and go back to eating the glut of boycotted seafood saying that nice Mr Key needs a medal ,he would knight himself, pop off to one of his holiday homes, (he gained when he skirted the GFC that he helped create ).He would invite the All Blacks to a Banquet of seafood ,they would dine and dance the evening away,televised for the middle NZ big screens who would watch with glee and squeals. Neck morning, Te Granny would headline “Team Key saves NZ , 3 MoreYears!!! and middle NZ would head out for lattes which would be cheaper than instant because of the glut of milk and the minimum wage having gone down. That nice Mr Key, he really cares.
This is what will happen. Business as usual, remember. -
