New Zealand is getting dangerously close to the point where inflation and taxation together become a slow seizure of wealth. Current inflation is around 3%. The top income tax rate is 39%. At first glance those numbers do not sound extreme. But look deeper. If you earn a return of 5% on your capital: • the government takes 39% of the gain • your after tax return falls to 3.05% • inflation is running at 3% Your real gain is essentially zero. You took the risk. You delayed consumption. You invested capital. You produced value. And after tax and inflation, you barely moved forward at all. Now imagine inflation rises slightly. Or your returns fall slightly. Or you pay fees along the way. You are now going backwards in real terms despite “making money”. This is the critical point societies miss. The government does not need to directly confiscate wealth. It can tax nominal gains while inflation silently destroys purchasing power underneath you. Over time: • savers get punished • wage earners fall behind • productive people feel trapped • assets become inflated beyond fundamentals People start feeling poorer because they are poorer in real terms. A healthy economy rewards productivity, savings, and investment. A declining economy slowly consumes them.

🇺🇸 ChudTheBuilder gets a $1.25M bond, an ankle monitor, a weapons surrender, and a social media ban. Murder suspects in the same district are walking out on less. And while all this plays out, his home address has been doxxed online, reportedly by the victim's side. So the guy being prosecuted has his life at risk, and the system's answer is to take away his ability to defend himself. Ask yourself: when was the last time you saw a murder case come with a social media ban? Source: Associated Press, AFP

WHAT A GREAT DAY FOR DALTON EATHERLY! TLDR: The State's case against Eatherly appears to be utterly lacking in ANY LEGAL MERIT WHATEVER, based upon what appears to be the official Affidavit of Complaint just made public (attached). This in a case in which the State's BURDEN is proof of guilt, and disproof of self-defense, beyond ANY REASONABLE DOUBT. All of it: So, it appears the affidavit of complaint against Dalton "Chud the Builder" Eatherly has been made public, and the contents will ABSOLUTELY SHOCK many of you. FIRST SHOCKER: THERE IS NOT A SINGLE WORD ABOUT DALTON HAVING UTTERED ANY RACIAL SLUR TOWARDS JOSHUA FOX WHATEVER, SO AS TO HAVE PROVOKED THE FIGHT AND THUS TO HAVE LOST THE LEGAL JUSTIFICATION OF SELF-DEFENSE. NOT. ONE. WORD. That was Dalton's biggest potential vulnerability on self-defense, and we can now be confident that we can put that concern to rest. But it gets even BETTER for Dalton. SECOND SHOCKER: Even if self-defense IS NOT EVEN CONSIDERED, the Affidavit of Complaint fails to present ANY evidence-based narrative that Dalton has committed ANY CRIME WHATEVER. (But, of course, self-defense WILL be raised, only further buttressing Dalton's legal position.) Specifically, there's literally not a SINGLE WORD in this Affidavit of Complaint that describes ANY criminal conduct whatever. I've embedded the Affidavit in my possession, but for purposes of succinctness, the relevant portions reads: "... Dalton Eatherly and Joshua Fox engaged in a verbal altercation in front of the Montgomery County Courthouse." This is not a crime, unless it's merely the misdemeanor of disorderly conduct, which would apply equally to both Eatherly AND Foxx. And in any case Eatherly has not been charged with disorderly conduct (nor Fox, of course). "During this verbal altercation, Mr. Eatherly turned his body in a bladed stance towards Mr. Fox ..." There's nothing unlawful about taking a defensive stance when dealing with an angry antagonist. Certainly Eatherly is not charged with the "crime" of "taking a bladed stance." "... and reached for his firearm located in his right jacket pocket." Again, there's nothing unlawful about reaching for a firearm in one's pocket in preparation for possible necessary self-defense. Note that Eatherly is not charged with the "crime" of "reaching for a firearm in located in his right jacket pocket." "Thereafter, a physical altercation ensued." Note the passive voice. The "altercation ensued." There's no claim that EATHERLY initiated the "altercation." Indeed, if anything, to the extent the affidavit has detailed Eatherly's conduct, the absence of any representation of his conduct to indicate that it was EATHERLY who initiated the altercation, we can only infer that it was instead FOX who initiated the altercation. This would, of course, make Eatherly the VICTIM of Fox's unlawful attack upon him. The next paragraph: "Mr. Eatherly discharged his firearm, striking Mr. Fox multiple times." There's nothing inherently unlawful about discharging a firearm and shooting someone multiple times. Thousands of shootings that fit this description occur every year, and qualify as perfectly lawful self-defense. Of course, now self-defense need actually be put on the table. Then there's a discussion of Fox being flown to a hospital, followed by: "In addition, at the time shots were fired, there were several innocent bystanders in the area. Surveillance video fo the incident shows a ricocheting projectile hitting nearby walls." Again, there is nothing inherently unlawful about firing shots that miss the intended target. Police involved in lawful shootings of suspects routinely miss about 70% of the shots fired. Those shots ALSO go flying about the neighborhood until they hit something. None of that is a crime, absent evidence of recklessness--and the affidavit provides no statement of recklessness. Indeed, not a word of recklessness. Note that if the shots were fired in lawful self-defense, as a matter of law they were not fired recklessly. I would also note that there's not a word in this affidavit that even contests, much less contradicts, even a single legal element of Dalton's anticipated claim of self-defense. Not Innocence, not Imminence, not Proportionality, not Avoidance, and Not Reasonableness. Not a single element. Not a word of it. If this were a civil case, I would argue that this complaint fails to state a cause of action. Indeed, it's hard to recall the last time I saw an Affidavit of Complaint so utterly lacking in legal substance whatever. At this point I have to say that I've never felt more positive about Dalton Eatherly's claim of self-defense, at least based upon the representations of this apparently official "Affidavit of Complaint." If these facts provided in this Affidavit of Complaint are all the State of Tennessee has on which to prosecute Dalton on the attempted murder, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and malicious firearms possession charges brought against him, I simply don't see any prospect to any reasonable degree of legal certainty of prosecutors securing a conviction on any of those charges beyond a reasonable doubt on the legal merits.

The Climate Change hoax vanished the moment companies needed data centers. Yeah, we noticed.

LMFAO 😂🤣🤣

🇳🇿 By 2030 in New Zealand all our data harvesting centres operating are expected to use roughly as much electricity as Dunedin. With virtually all these centres include massive diesel backup generators when there's a brown out your lights go off thses GPU's keep humming The H²O used for cooling thses centres is staggering For years they told you that your diesel generator, your car, your electricity use was destroying the planet. They built a whole control grid around that story - digital money internet age verification police surveillance, carbon credits, ESG scores, social credit tied to energy use. For you. Not for them. Now watch what happens when the data hoovering center's needs power. Data centers pulling city-scale electricity, 24/7 diesel backup, & suddenly… no problem. No climate lectures. No fines. No shutdowns. Why? Because the rules only apply to the people outside the system. That’s the setup for The Great Taking. Our financial system is being centralized into a control structure. The assets you think you own - securities, bank deposits, even your property through liens and custody chains - are being moved into a system where access is contingent on compliance. And compliance is determined by the people who control the pipes: energy, data, finance, digital ID. When they need the power, they turn it on. When you need it, it’s “unsustainable.” "When they need liquidity, they reuse your assets. When you need it, your account is frozen for 'review.'" The smoke you see is a signal. It tells you who’s actually inside the perimeter & who’s outside. The Great Taking is about moving everyone else outside, while making it look legal, technical, & inevitable. So the question isn’t really about the smoke. The question is: where are your assets sitting, & who can turn off the switch? 🔗Empowering Aotearoa New Zealand's Digital Future👇 cdc.com/media/q0zh1opo…

If Chud doesn't walk free, we lose our 1A, 2A, and the right to self-defense Its not hyperbole to say Chud is the most important case court in American history We could lose our Constitution rights Get involved! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸✊

New Zealand First will be proposing a buy-back of the Bank of New Zealand from National Australia Bank. It will be merged with Kiwibank to form the “National Bank of New Zealand (NBNZ)” – a fully Crown owned, commercially run, systemically significant domestic bank with the scale to genuinely compete with ANZ, ASB and Westpac. After all, when National sold BNZ to NAB in November 1992, it then had six of every ten New Zealand banking customers. This is a buy-back to put a New Zealand owned competitor on the field at the scale required to change the behaviour of the foreign-owned banks. READ MORE: nzfirst.nz/the_kiwisaver_…

If I say “free Palestine” to a Jewish person and they start attacking me, have I lost the right to self defense because I “provoked” them? What if I say “You’re not a real woman” to a trans person? What if say “God is real” to an Atheist? I’m now legally responsible for my own assault and limited in my ability to defend myself from death or serious bodily harm? Or does everyone actually understand that you don’t lose the right to self defense just because you said a word someone doesn’t like? I’m sorry, but I choose to live in America where freedom of speech is enshrined as the 1st Amendement for a reason - and the 2nd ensures it. Fuck tyranny. Fuck your racial interpretations of my Rights as an American. #FreeChud Donate here: givesendgo.com/HelpChud

🚨 Bond for CHUD THE BUILDER set at a RIDICULOUS $1.25 MILLION! Dalton Eatherly, the no-holds-barred livestreamer known for roasting sacred cows and triggering the left into meltdowns, just got slammed with this insane bond after a chaotic shooting outside the Montgomery County Courthouse. Self-defense or not, they’re throwing the book at him while career criminals walk free on $0 bail every single day in blue cities.
