September 2010

The wires are humming.

The word is out that “Sitiveni” Roy and “Yeltsin” Douglas are going to form a new party. Peter “The Maori” Tashkoff, Kevin “The Jew” Campbell can’t keep their mouths shut and are all set to join the new party. This is the new dream team that will form a circle-jerk all proclaiming the wonderous nature of Roger’s pure thoughts.

The Standard paid lap-bloggers pretty much nail the new “dream team” with this description;

The former deputy is a middle-aged mum of five who convinced the Army to waste tens of thousands of dollars training her to be a Territorial when she would obviously never get the call-up (high-value government spending, anyone?).

Number 3’s name is used to invoke terror in small kids across the country (‘if you don’t behave and go to bed Roger Douglas will come and steal your future’).

This is, of course, a good thing for Act, because the poisonous scorpions in the nest will all take themselves off to electoral greatness based around the leadership of a traitor and a 72 year old befuddled man.

Roger Douglas is actually the one with his head in the sand, he is still fantacising about what could have been had Lange not stopped for a “cup of tea”. Unfortunately for Roger, the world has moved on, and the technology being used to keep him alive hadn’t even been invented when he was fixing new Zealand’s economy. He can barely use a cellphone and so is hardly relevant anymore.

If I was Rodney Hide I would pre-empt all of this and toss all the traitors from the party forthwith, starting with bringing forward the list selections for next year and his own selection in Epsom. He can deal directly with Peter “the Maori” Tashkoff by smashing him in a winner takes all selection. Shortly after slapping the traitors he should have them ejected from the party so they can go off and embarrass themselve electorally backing a feeble man in his 70′s and a dumb blonde advised by a military fantasist.

This will all end badly for them, leaving the tatters of their Dungeons and Dragons like party structure in the hands of the ultimate warrior politician and master strategist, he showed Rodney didn’t he, Simon Ewing-Jarvie.

I just bet they’ll call their part ReACT, because that is what they have been doing all this time in their “Get Rodney” campaign.

If they had any integrity they’d just fuck off already and leave Act to get on with being sensible.

The Chinese have many sayings that New Zealanders will by now be learning. Especially those greedy farmers who want more agricultural operations in China but don’t want Chinese in New Zealand. Especially greedy South Island farmers who want the government to bale them out every time a storm provides random stock control.

These are some of kinds of business phrases that you should acquaint yourself with if contemplating business with China:

“We are like brothers” – anyone read Kane and Abel?

“Spirit of co-operation and partnership” – you do what we say.

“Chinese have a culture where they will not give control over” – how precious? Like every other culture on the planet, especially just like greedy South Islander farmers.

“We are not in competition we are partners” – I’m going to bend you over and screw you from behind once we’ve stolen borrowed unpicked your IP and undercutting you in a factory in Guangdong.

“Give me your best price. I buy 1000 units” – quote me on 1000 units and I will end up buying 2 units at this price then go somewhere else for their best price.

“We will build a long-term relationship” – we are already looking for better price and will arse-drop you when we’ve found it. In fact we already halve we are just yanking chain for the fun of it.

“Chinese want a quality product” – we are too proud to say we are cheap so when your quote is too high we will blame quality.

“This will result in a loss of face” – you didn’t offer enough for his produce and now he’s having a sulk, and he really does mean loss of face, yours, when you take a wrong turn on your drunken wander back to the hotel.

“Indians have no honour” – Indians bargain as hard and with as much b.s. as we do. You can substitute any asian race in there for Indians but the Chinese know that know one likes the Indians.

Given New Zealanders parlous record with saving we best get used to dealing with the Chinese as they have all the money, yep all of it. The currency market are just playthings for the Chinese Government, why do you think the Australian and NZ dollar are so over valued?

They are not over-valued this is the new level set by the Chinese government so they don’t have to pay so much for their imports, particularly minerals. The Aussies are looking forward to parity with the US dollar and planning parties, all the while it is the Chinese saving themselves trillions on their forward contracts for minerals. Once the deals are done watch the Aussie dollar tumble. We are just going along for the ride like fleas on a dogs back.

They already own the pacific, now they are coming for us. So learn the above phrases well you’ll be needing them.

The Bay of Plenty Times had, what appeared to be a happy story, about a couple who have had their third set of twins.

Feeding six boys would be a challenge for many parents but for Papamoa mum Tressa Simonsen, it’s almost become a military operation.

Not that you would know it. As a mother to three sets of twins, the 31-year-old almost makes it look easy.

“I’m a bit of a whiz at it now,” she says.

“But I’m very lucky because the new babies are great and feeding and sleeping well.”

But there is an underlying tragedy in this story, one that is yet to materialise, but it will. Unhappiness is stalking this family.

Tressa was already mum to four boys – Sharaz and Shaqiel, 10, and Daklan and Darius, 2, when the latest pair arrived.

Kramer and Kelly, weighing 6 pounds 11 and 6 pounds 4 ounces respectively, were born 20 days early on September 5 at Tauranga Hospital.

But there is an interesting twist in this story.

All three sets of twins are fraternal, which means they are not identical and come from two separate eggs. Identical twins happen when an egg splits.

The chance of having three sets of twins is only 1 in 500,000.

Wow those are some odds. I wonder if the repeater bothered to ask two simple questions.

1. Did you have IVF?

2. Did the taxpayer pay for it?

Three sets of fraternal twins….smelling a rat here? I know she says she has never taken fertility drugs, but that isn’t a never had IVF either. Bet she goes again to get a girl too, which is what she was probably doing the second and third times.

Islamic community leaders have written to Prime Minister John Key demanding Building Minister Maurice Williamson apologise for jokes he made about Muslims.

Humourless pricks. Are Muslims the new poofs? Whining worse than Steve Gray.

They want an apology, you can’t go past the type of apology that Andrew Williams Father Jack gave.

The Clown of Campbells Bay, Andrew Williams can’t stand the heat that I am applying to him in Albany. I blogged the other day that he had laid a complaint with the Police and now he is trying to have me struck off as a candidate in Albany Ward.

North Shore Mayor Andrew Williams has laid a police complaint against Whaleoil blogger Cameron Slater and wants him struck off as a super city council candidate for using his campaign to “stalk” him.

This is interesting. Andrew Williams wants to interefere with the democratic process in Albany because he is upset. That’s a little different from the comment he put on Facebook the other day.

Andrew Williams two-faced on democracy?

So on September 17 a 05:40am Andrew Williams is for people giving it a go, and now facing increasing pressure in Albany Ward he wants to instruct the Returning Officer to have me struck from the ballot. This is all a bit like his stance on Whenuapai Airport when firstly he was for it, then at the last minute against it. The man can’t lie straight in bed.

Slater, who is running against Williams in the Albany ward, has labelled the mayor a “coward and a bully” and says police have told him they will not be pursuing the matter.

The Whaleoil blogger sees his opposition to Williams as a civic duty – “He doesn’t deserve to be a councillor. It’s a duty of every citizen to do what they can. I’m being a candidate to make sure he doesn’t get elected.”

Andrew Williams though, doesn’t like being held to account and he won’t front in person, preferring to keep his bullying online.

Early this morning he was abusing former Mayor of North Shore George Wood and his sister, rather rudely on George’s own Facebook page.

Andrew Williams abuses George Wood and his sister

Andrew Williams is a coward and a bully. He sets the Police on to me because he can’t take the pressure. This man deserves to be hounded from office in disgrace. He also lies when he says to the reporter;

“He stands up at a meeting and says ‘I will not urinate on a tree, I will not use a credit card in a Takapuna bar, I will not send drunken texts’.”

“What he has put in his candidate profile is harassment. His whole campaign is focussed on attacking me.”

I have nt stood in public meetings and said that, I have stood in public meetings and offered policies and platforms that are different from everyone else. Those comments are from my candidate statement and they are promises which I can easily honour. At least Andrew Williams has read them and knows that I stand against his normal council practices. My candidate statement was checked with Dale Ofsoske and he changed only one word, he rang me to check that I was ok with that. It is a pity that Andrew Williams can’t act in a manner that is becoming of a mayor and public official with the same level of professionalism as Dale and his staff.

His bullying has now extended to arranging the dismissal of a person his fantasist paranoiac mind think is running a conspiracy to get him. I have met Gary Holmes just 4 times and all have been at candidate meetings. Andrew Williams appears in very good company with other fantasists Simon Ewing-Jarvie and Stephen Wilce. He has admitted to meddling in the North Harbour Business Association, again in a late night ramble on a Facebook page.

Andrew Williams admits to meddling in NHBA affairs

The man is clearly feeling the pressure. Just the other night he was rambling to himself in the third person. As you can see in the space of just a few days he has abused beneficiaries, other candidates including Linda Cooper, now an ex-Mayors sister, essentially calling her ugly, and now he is calling me a nutter, clearly an inference to my battle with depression. Not only that he appears to have meddled in the affairs of a business association in order to get even with some one I am supposed to be working in collusion with. His paranoid delusions are very clearly affecting him, either that or the recycling bin is going to be very full outside one house in Campbells Bay.

I wonder if perhaps as part of his cosy deal with Len Brown to be Deputy Mayor he got some polling done by UMR in Albany and the results are not what he would have liked and so he is now attacking the two leading candidates with his nasty, spiteful bully-boy antics.

Well, the reason I stood was to stand up to the bully, and I won’t be cowed by his threats. There is a way to end his reign of terror on the North Shore and that is to Vote Slater for Albany to keep the Clown out.

Vote Slater - Albany - Auckland - Keeping the Buggers Honest

Nobody is more condescending than the liberal elite currently infecting the Labour Party. They don’t even know they are doing it. Take this post about student loans from Grant Robertson;

Grant Roberston thinks dark people are thick

I’m not quite sure what Grant was trying to say here, but from where I am looking at it from it appears he thinks that dark people, Maori and Pacific students in particular, are thicker than most and need to have special arrangements and allowances made for them because they are dumber than white people.

He also appears to think that it is alright for taxpayers to pay for people who are demonstrably failing their courses.

Grant should really climb out of his ivory taxpayer funded tower and come visit me in South Auckland and see where all the student loan money is being poured, then he might take a second look at his stance. He won’t of course because he wouldn’t want to actually know what life is like outside of Wellington.

There is much fuss and bother over the proposed brothel to be established over the road from the Sky Tower.

There is certainly a great deal of NIMBY-ism going on. The simple fact is that brothels are legal and if not across the road from another den of inquity in the form of a casino then where?

Do we now need to start considering an Amsterdam style red light district?

However a check of the key players suggests that this brothel may well not be in business for long.

Sex industry magnates are to open a “massage” club directly opposite the Sky Tower and flanked by residential buildings and shops.

In a move which has stunned nearby retailers, millions of dollars have been spent to turn the Palace Hotel pub, on the corner of Victoria St West and Federal St, into a new adult venue.

Wellington brothel owners John and Michael Chow bought the run-down building for $3.3 million, saying they hope to cater for the needs of visitors, gamers from the SkyCity Casino and tourists.

I’m wondering if the John Chow is the same John Chau in this article about Naked News Korea. My sex industry sources say that he is and that he is bad news;

After barely a month of operations, Naked News Korea is apparently winding up and with four of its remaining presenters expressing, “We will fight to the end against Naked News Korea for lying to us and the nation.”

Naked News Korea presenters Choi Sun Yi, Han Min Kyung, Lee Se Yeon and Jin Jae Kyung held a press conference on 30th July, “We became presenters for Naked News Korea despite getting criticisms from our parents, relatives and friends. The owner, John Chau seems to be acting with only his own interests in mind and had operated the business with the intent of committing fraud. All of the money has went into his own pocket.”

Naked News Korea had ceased to provide news updates last week due to internal issues which included owning the 9 presenters and other staff about 2 -3 months of wages among others. 5 of the original nine presenters have already left the company, with only four remaining behind before everything erupted. All of the staff have no clue about what’s going on and could only say that they have been cheated by John Chau. The matter has been been bought to the attention of the Labor Ministry while the police have also started investigations into fraud allegations against John Chau.

And I wonder if the John and Michael Chow are the same John and Michael Chow who are sponsoring the Wellington Saints.

Sex Industry sources I have spoken to today confirm that these two are behind the new venture.

Massage – yea right. Sure seems to be an influx coming, it will be a haven for illegal immigrants – they will take the passports like they do at Mermaids Wellington and il Bordello and create a drama – the Wellington CIB are well aware of the games they play – but guess when you pay you can play – and the council must be getting a huge back hander.

The sex industry is not happy with these two, their business methods and the way they treat the girls. As I get more information I will update this post, but ot seems that there are not a lot of happy campers. The real owners of The Establishment  and other major brothels probably won’t like the developments either so watch this space.

It is difficult to care about the Commonwealth Games, but I’ve made and effort today and think I have really found the issue.

Delhi’s Chief Minister, Sheila Dikshit, visited team officials to tell them all efforts were being made to ensure the athletes’ village was habitable. She has ordered about 60 top public servants to work from the village. Each will have responsibility for a single accommodation block and powers to cut through red tape.

We need look no further for blame. It’s the Dikshit’s fault.

David Farrar made the comment that Simon “FIGJAM” Power:

..in a moment of insanity, also appointed him to the Human Rights Review Tribunal, he is trying to be a sextuple dipper.

It’s a rather prolonged moment of insanity that started when he abandoned his small provincial conveyancing firm to become National’s next Prime Minister. This is the same Brian Neeson who spat the dummy and stood against John Key in 2002.

This is the same Simon Power who reportedly blocks National Party loyalists from government appointments and the honours list with the stroke of a pen through their names and presumably also thinks that it is a good idea for Michael Cullen to be appointed to chair NZ Post.

It seems that FIGJAM’s pre-requisites for getting plumb jobs are to have a track record of standing against your mates and friends. With friends like FIGJAM who needs enemies?

As Murray succinctly pointed out, this is nothing more than pigs at the trough.

It is therefore timely to be reminded about my policy, which remains in place, for Michael Cullen.

Rather than putting him in jail for fiscal crimes against New Zealand including PREFU lies, the Kiwirail purchase and the Retail Deposits Guarantee, he is to be sentenced to chair Kiwirail for the rest of his natural life without any further government subsidies.

I think it is now appropriate to add a FIGJAM clause to that policy also sentencing Simon Power to serve as Michael Cullen’s deputy.

The Ozone Hole is closing….the previous global catastrophe that the Greenies all clamoured for us to fix is closing, good work…job well done…..ooops!

While most of the world has warmed, parts of the southern hemisphere have remained stubbornly cold—oddly enough because of a gaping hole in the ozone layer. Now new research shows that all the efforts made by scientists and environmental advocates to close the hole may actually increase warming throughout the entire southern hemisphere.

That’s because, for decades, brighter summertime clouds, created by the hole, have reflected more of the sun’s rays, acting as a shield against global warming.

As the ozone layer heals and the clouds dissipate, this “will lead to a rise in temperature [in parts of the southern hemisphere] faster than currently predicted by models,” said study leader Ken Carslaw of the U.K.’s University of Leeds.

Bugger…that didn’t go so well.

The subsequent global agreement to ban chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)—the chemicals largely responsible for the thinning of the ozone layer—reversed the growth of the ozone hole and was deemed one of the biggest environmental success stories of the 20th century.

Except one of the unforeseen results is that with the ozone hole recovering they have now probably contributed more to global warming than anything else. Bloody meddling little pricks. Why can’t they just leave things alone. It aseems that Bomber and all the other meddlers are right, Human involvement has caused global warming, action foisted upon us by green experimenters trying to solve problems that never existed.

I wonder if they ever thought that the hole was there for a reason, like the planet’s very own pop off valve for dissipating heat. Oh no, they just got us all to spend trillions of dollars changing our fridges and air conditioning and now we are going to have to pay trillions more to solve a problem they bloody caused as well.
