@catturd2 Reminds me of the analogy about the woman who decided to have a picnic on a busy highway then complained about her sandwiches being run over.

Everyone needs to listen to this. Bill Cosby 2.0

COVID was preplanned.

@JoelMacManus Seems crazy to me, giving away our hard earned tax money to a very wealthy singer. Make it make sense Luxon. @chrisluxonmp @dbseymour @winstonpeters

Anyway here's my piece if anyone wants to read something written by a human: thespinoff.co.nz/politics/26-03…

This isn't analysis. You're just plagiarising my work via ChatGPT.

Lying Luxon

The UN just voted the Islamic Regime in Iran onto a UN committee dealing with WOMEN’S RIGHTS and TERRORISM PREVENTION The UN is a sick joke and can't be fixed NZ should walk away and save 150m each year

If she became President the US would be lost in a heartbeat.

Political rivals can find common ground. One politician saw an enemy in trouble and offered help, transcending party lines. This act of compassion and belief in a 'fair go' built lasting friendships and trust. Full interview: x.com/kaiviti_cam/st…

@beehivebadboy Luxon wants NZ to go ‘clean’ energy (Net zero) meaning no fuel for our cars yet is happy for these people to come into our country and destroy our environment with rubbish and pollution. Make it make sense Luxon. @chrisluxonmp @dbseymour @winstonpeters

No respect. This person should be called out the same way those dirty littering fucks were. People need to call out this behaviour wherever they see it, until the people who come to our country learn to respect it.

The utopia that lied. Here's the truth...

@JaneotN Nah, CD’s didn’t exist, 4 track cassette recorder was the thing.

💿🔥😆

@chrisluxonmp Blah blah blah you are a failed leader Luxon and should have resigned.

This is a massive opportunity for New Zealand.

Lets not embrace the technological and medical advances white people have introduced to us. Instead, lets steal their land, murder them and drive the rest out of ‘our’ lands. Then we will revert back to pre colonisation tribal warriors and start killing each other for land and prestige. Just like our ancestors did. No forward thinking, actually very little thinking at all.

Black woman from South Africa: “Black people have been patient enough for more than 400 years of colonialism. We are coming for you, and we are going to get everything that you own.” White people are facing racism, hatred, and brutal violence in South Africa. This is not acceptable. More people should know about the horrible things happening in South Africa; almost nobody talks about it.

This is how communism starts. Bit by bit the government removes responsibility from the people. They justify it on the basis that it is the right decision on behalf of the people, increasing safety, peace of mind etc. A perfect example is removing parental responsibility for making school lunches. We had far greater poverty in NZ when I was a kid but it was inconceivable to think that the government would make lunches for our kids. We all did OK. Banning social media for under 16 years olds is just another step towards total control. Then it will be digital currency. After that a social credit system will be implemented just like in China. This will mark the beginning of true communism. Fight it or lose your freedom.

We want to protect our kids from the harms of social media. That’s why today National has introduced a members bill to ban social media for kids under 16 years old.

@JimFergusonUK What is Iran going to ignite the Gulf with?

🚨 IF ONE PORT IS HIT — THE ENTIRE GULF IGNITES Iran’s warning is clear: Touch our ports— and we target all of yours. That means: Saudi oil hubs. Qatar’s LNG lifelines. UAE trade gateways. Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman— All in the crosshairs. This isn’t a threat to one country— It’s a threat to the global supply chain. Energy. Trade. Shipping routes. All exposed. Because if this line is crossed— It’s not escalation. It’s system-wide disruption. And when ports start shutting down— The world doesn’t just feel it. It stops.

So true. Takes out the opposition at every turn then scores the win. Many people has not seen it yet.

I'm Papua New Guinean, so let me talk about my own country for a second. My country is not failing because of the "white man." My country is not failing because of some mythical systematic stranglehold keeping us down. My country is failing because we have deep-rooted corruption at every level of society and government - the same kind of corruption people are now waking up to in the U.S., except ours is even more blatant. Papua New Guinea is one of the most resource-rich nations on Earth. We have: ✅ Massive gold, copper, and nickel deposits ✅ Major oil and LNG/natural gas projects that drive much of the economy ✅ Strong agricultural exports including: ▶️ Coffee ▶️ Cocoa ▶️ Palm oil ▶️ Copra ▶️ Rubber Large fisheries and forestry sectors And yet despite all of that wealth, since independence in 1975 - when Australia formally granted PNG independence - our politicians have repeatedly sold this nation out for personal greed. Nobody forced them at gunpoint. Nobody made them rob their own people. Nobody made them loot public funds. Independence was handed to us on a golden platter. And what did our leadership do? They turned around and pillaged the country for themselves. WE ARE OUR OWN WORST ENEMIES. And this same pattern exists all over: ~ Africa ~ The Middle East ~ Parts of Asia ~ Latin America Too many nations are crippled less by outsiders and more by their own corrupt elites, tribalism, greed, incompetence, and refusal to build functioning institutions. Then millions from these broken countries move to the West carrying a built-in victim mentality - blaming everyone else for problems they never fixed at home. And when you see crime, violence, rape, gang activity, and lawlessness emerge in parts of the West from certain migrant populations, many of these individuals come from places where: ☑️ corruption is normal ☑️ violence is common ☑️ law enforcement is weak ☑️ and accountability barely exists You cannot import people from dysfunctional societies in mass numbers and expect zero cultural consequences. Harsh truth: Until people start taking responsibility for their own nations, cultures, and leadership... nothing changes.

Back in the day I got to know the DSIR because they provided development science services to a corporate I worked for. I got to understand how the science industry worked in NZ. The science department received a block of funding each year and scientists were able to follow their own intuition from basic through applied and into development science. This worked well and NZ produced some world leading scientific breakthroughs. The Government decided to restructure the DSIR into 10 Crown Research Institutes (CRI’s). These 10 CRIs had to compete for funding from a fixed pool of funds held by a Government agency called FORST (Foundation Of Research Science & Technology). FORST would set funding objectives and scientists needed to orientated their science around these objectives in order to secure funding for the CRI they worked for. Guess what happened? Climate Change mitigation became a leading objective of FORST. To ensure funding was granted to them, scientists oriented their funding proposals to emphasis the dangers of climate change and how their science would mitigate it. In their research outcome reports they highlighted the dangers of Climate Change and how their science was helping to mitigate it. Scientists soon realised creating media (thus the publics) attention to their climate science research helped bring the importance of their science to the Government and hence FORST’s attention. This helped secure more funding. The scientists could not be blamed for doing this. They needed to 'play the game’ to ensure their continued employment. Effectively a whole science industry was established around a lie perpetrated by Governments. NIWA and Metservice adopted the same Climate Change is real attitude for the same funding reasons. At that time Governments from many western nations created similar climate change oriented science outcomes. Thus a global climate change industry was born, wasting trillions of dollars of tax payers money. All based on bull dust.

Wonderfully clear and concise words (especially the last paragraph) on the climate change scam from Dr David Kear. Once the Director General of the DSIR (New Zealand’s Department of Scientific and Industrial Research). From 2013- "The widespread obsession with Global-Warming-Climate-Change, in opposition to all factual evidence, is quite incredible. It leads to unfair treatment of some citizens, and a massive bill for all, for nothing useful. When will citizens revolt effectively against such callous disregard for their observations and wishes, by those who are essentially their elected employees? When will the perpetrators examine the basis of their ideology, and realise that it’s based on unfounded unscientific beliefs, not on confirmed, widely-available investigations by real scientists who abide by the moral standards of their profession?"

@SeanPlunket @TVONENZ Paranoia, unreasonable anger, excessive gestures, profuse swearing…. What drug causes these symptoms. I’m told taking too much Meth does and can also make you violent. Just saying if anybody knows her well.

You know what I think about people posting from their cars! But this is a “panellist” for a @TVONENZ “news” programme.

@elonmusk So many of us had exactly the same experience. Covid was like the flue, then the first vax knocked me out for about a week. I had to take the vax - to receive a vax certificate - so could travel cross country to visit my aging Mother without being arrested.

The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times. I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible. But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.

I should have said ‘was’ not ‘is’. I knew it had been downgraded from cyclone to storm at the time I wrote the post. Had even posted about Metservice still talking about the ‘cyclone’ when it wasn't. But do appreciate your pickiness. Is it a refection of your character? I’m sure there is a grammatical error you could pick at. Please do so or anything else if it makes you feel better about yourself. But really, well done. You have learn’t a basic weather phenomena. Did you know that all the daily tropical thunderstorms that appear each afternoon around the equatorial region suck warmth out of the tropical water. The water vapour is sucked up into the troposphere where it is cooled, condensed and drops as rain or hail. This process is Mother Gaia’s way of keeping the earth from overheating. Bet ya didn’t know the last bit.

@Practika5 Cyclones can’t & don’t exist below 30•south. It was a depression. Not even an ex cyclone. But the media need to keep scaring the gullible. What was that about looking ignorant on line? Run that one by me again.

Anyone else noticed the term 'atmospheric river' seems to have lost favourability with the forecasters? Haven't heard it mentioned once with the current weather. ??? 🤔
