The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
“Despite difficulty perceiving colour due to the effects of his mirrorshades, Bishop Tamaki (as he now styled himself) had never believed Morpheus’ insistence that he had actually taken the blue pill.”

Why is that pleb over there not bowing in respect? SECURITY!
♫ “turn around, shite eyes…” ♪
hehe, always gets me that one 😆
totally hasn’t evolved since he first saw Bonny Tyler
“I own, person’ly, Jesus
pay me to hear your prayers
pay me to care..”
Hey Jim (Jones), what’s your secret ingredient in this Cool-Aid ?
Hey cuz I have done nothing wrong, people just give me money when the missus arks them man. Jesus Jesus who hell is Jesus Im the bishop bro.
Hah hah
Check this out some people need to get a sense of humour/perspective.
Good doco – best line “a film so funny, it was banned in Norway”.
Captain Geordi La Forge: “I understand. And I might be doing the same thing if I were in your position, but I’ve got my own crew to protect, not to mention fifteen years of history.”
Paula Bennett was amazed at how effectively she could dodge the press – just a pair of sunglasses and a slicked back do and no one gave her a second glance.
“This heaven ain’t big enough for both of us”
“Slowly, his hair began to melt……”
5000 more conscripts and I’ll have me an electorate…
Cult, religion, club, society…..whatever just keep that cash rolling in suckers, those harleys don’t pay for themselves you know.
And so it is written that the Lord said to his faithful flock “I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God” … ah…ahem. Who is responsible for placing this filth before my Divine Eyes?
Bring me my Bishop Brian’s Amended Testament and we’ll start that again.
” I told those Gucci heathens that I wanted the mirrors on the INSIDE! Dammit!!! “
No funny quote from me, because there is nothing funny about that piece of human trash.
Taking money off of poor people who cant afford it, using religion.
The guy on TVNZ got it right a couple of nights ago, when he mentioned all those fake body guards with those fake air pieces are to give the illusion that he is important, its just sad that some people buy into it.
Don’t believe its a cult, because cult leaders are out of their minds, this guy knows what he is doing.
Being a cult doesn’t have anything to do with the leaders mental state. Hell, most of the more “successful” people in the world are psychopaths and Brian Tamaki is just another one.
A rich bloke in a position of power, using that position to transfer wealth from the poor to the rich, based on an outmoded ideology – not funny, and an apt description of more than just BT.
Stone the crows! never thought I’d see the day etc etc… I agree with every word you said Brett. cheers!
I am confused then – I thought he was nuts – meglomaniacal etc. Then today someone told me his previous business went belly up so he started a church.
Where’s the humility – and good works?
And sporting this seasons shadys we have one of the famed Tamaki Bros.
Cool.
Bishop to Pawn, “Where’s my Cheque Mate?”
(Stolen I know but worth repeating)
“I’ll be back!”
Shona:
It was bound to happen one day.
“Shocking, you beauty, we just made 10-1”
Bishop Brian could be thinking – ‘I am the holy one, do not gaze upon mine eyes, but I will reflect your soul to you and give you my blessing’ or not.
I believe that there is behind much of the USA religious revival a movement that embraces wealth, called the prosperity church. If you are righteous and obedient, Jesus loves you and good things will flow to you. The USA has managed to turn a buck on religion which is a good tax avoidance scheme for megalomaniacs, and there is just about a religious franchise, sort of Golden Arches with a difference flavour.
This is unsubstantiated, I don’t have any handy references, just stuff I have picked up and I may have the wrong slant on some of it.
Nah, that’s pretty much it prism.
Also, if you are interested, take a google around the words/phrases/names, “christian reconstructionism” “dominion theology” “rushdoony” and “The Chalcedon Foundation “
“Take the blue pill, and you’ll wake up in your bed believing whatever I want you to believe. Take the red pill, and I’ll show you just how far your donations will go.”
Mirrored both sides so can worship his own image?
“I’m too sexy for my shades, too sexy for my shades”!
Interesting PB I will go and look at those sites.
Who are you calling a cult?
“It is easier for Brian Tamaki’s ego to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
“The Pope, Henry VIII and John Smith got away with it- Whats the big deal?”
