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. ...

So, I don’t know if this will ‘take’. I’ve no idea how to cut and paste vids from facebook that don’t appear to be on other platforms. I can only try and if it doesn’t work and you have a facebook account, then search it out and share, aye?

If you click on the time/date on any FB post you will get a permanent link in the address bar. Was it this video?

So, Peter Thiel writes to Nathan Guy and tells him he knows John Key, Bill English and Gerry Brownlee so Mr Guy approved his citizenship application. He has never lived here…
http://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2017/02/new-peter-thiel-citizenship-file-released.html
He was granted citizenship because he was a billionaire, and his so-called “philanthropy” was nothing more than a bribe. He used NZ to buy himself a bolthole here when everything turns to custard and he’s forced to flee the USA.
When the Labour/Green coalition government take office they should rescind his citizenship on the grounds he acquired it under false pretenses.
+ 1 Anne.
Hear, hear.
Meanwhile there are another few chunks of land that Kiwis are locked out of, and the prices jacked up to Oligarchs Only levels. But he has his bolt hole, and we should be grateful he pays a gardener. Or so we will be told.
Guy blames his officials. Maybe we need to see a RogueImmigrationOfficials Twitter account, similar to the ones emerging now in the US.
Maybe someone needs to ask the caretaker a few more questions…..

And here is another interesting angle on the Thiel Affair courtesy of John Campbell. Seems the number of days he was actually in NZ were redacted from the released document. In other words, they were little more than the fingers of two hands.

And he will funnel donation money to National / Act for the rest of his natural life thereby distorting our democracy.
Kick him out – and also reform election campaign finance.
wicked (good) visual for daily review – thanks
Interesting news from Iraq.
I see that when ISIS gets defeated in Iraq, a city is ‘libeared’ according to the Guardian.
That propaganda piece of fake news somehow never managed to call the fall of Aleppo liberation.
I guess when it’s US planes that are pulverising a city, that makes it OK for the Guardian.
So predictable.
The battle for Mosul: ‘I have never seen such hard fighting like this’
“That propaganda piece of fake news ” that you are linking to…
therefore you are promulgating fake news by your own words – how do you sleep at night???
Thought provoking.

The ice issue is so huge it is hard to imagine let alone act on the cause. Thanks Paul. A worrying night ahead!
Who controls the imagery used which you generally link to, Paul?
What are your thoughts around the ‘Antarctica ban’ ?
More investigation needs to be done into Thiel’s Palantir.
This article was written in 2013.
And the msm has failed to do any digging.
We need a new media.
Are Palantir spooks?

Great piece by Eaqub on housing crisis deniers.
So, true of Key’s government and now the current one – they only do what’s good for their voters, not for society as a whole.

Excellent
A warning from 1989 ……. regarding ‘kill lists’ ….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmYZ_kWHk3Q
It appears people are ‘noticing’ more …. now that we have a trump instead of a obama ……….. in charge of the killing.
“Then it starts getting heavy. The `Pre-emptive Strikes’ bill. President Reagan, working through the Secretary of State Shultz… almost 2 years ago, submitted the bill that would provide them with the authority to strike at terrorists before terrorists can do their terrorism. But this bill… provides that they would be able to do this in this country as well as overseas. It provides that the secretary of state would put together a list of people that he considers to be terrorist, or terrorist supporters, or terrorist sympathizers. And if your name, or your organization, is put on this list, they could kick down your door and haul you away, or kill you, without any due process of the law and search warrants and trial by jury, and all of that, with impunity. ”
……… “Now, there was a tremendous outcry on the part of jurists. The New York Times columns and other newspapers saying, `this is no different from Hitler’s “night in fog” program’, where the government had the authority to haul people off at night. And they did so by the thousands. And President Reagan and Secretary Shultz have persisted…. Shultz has said, `Yes, we will have to take action on the basis of information that would never stand up in a court. And yes, innocent people will have to be killed in the process. But, we must have this law because of the threat of international terrorism’. ” …….
This might explain the turn in the price of housing.

Willie Jackson’s move to Labour is a sign of problems for the Mari Party/Mana alliance.
Trevett thinks it was Labour poaching but the truth is Jackson saw that Mr. Underpants and that daft Maori King had been bought and paid for by the National Party.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11792898
“Willie Jackson’s move to Labour is a sign of problems for the Mari Party/Mana alliance.”
Not necessarily. Maybe he just wants a decent chance of getting back into parliament. Would he have that with the Mp or Mana?
Sounds to me like the takeover of the Labour party by the Alliance party is gathering steam 😉
Ha ha, excellent!
The same thing I guess. That Maori Party has gone down this cult of celebrity road is interesting. I’m picking they are taking courses from National Party advisors.
How though will those same National Party advisors lie in bed with Hone Harawira on the first night of a new coalition?
Why would Harawira support a National govt?
He’s supporting the Maori Party, who are National’s poodles. Same thing.
Yes, if you are talking ego politicians in it for the position then look no further than Harawira who is already in alliance with a National government support partner which contrasts totally with all his beliefs I would have thought.
This after last election totally accepting of an alliance with the Internet Party.
I used to think his was a militant voice for the disenfranchised but now I think he’s a fake concerned only with his own income stream.
Look closely and you’ll see links to Gareth Morgan’s money too. Jevan Goulter is your link.
Interesting. So this is what Harawira thinks social responsibility looks like.
https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s320x320/e35/15876733_1327580554023926_7720065863289667584_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=MTQyOTUzNDYzNjk5MjQ3Mjk0Mg%3D%3D.2
That doesn’t make any sense.
There’s an association between this guy Coulter and Harawira and then there is an association between Coulter and Tamaki.
These are the sort of people involved in this alliance between Maori and Mana. It’s a slow motion car crash.
Looks like slurring to me.
Oh dear, is Goulter involved in this? Well then it’s guaranteed to be an awful mess.
“He’s supporting the Maori Party, who are National’s poodles. Same thing.”
Not really. There is a huge difference between working with allies, and actively supporting the formation of a National govt by being in a coalition or giving them Confidence and Supply.
Aren’t you going a bit constitutional there? The facts are than the Maori Party is a poodle of the National government like UF and ACT, and Mana has just signed a deal with them.
You said,
“How though will those same National Party advisors lie in bed with Hone Harawira on the first night of a new coalition?”
That sounds like you suggesting that Harawira would be in a formal relationship with National. I just don’t see it. One Māori political party working with another makes sense to me and doesn’t mean that Harawira is going to support National.

“Should the bay’s fisheries collapse there will also be very serious human consequences, including intensified conflict and mass displacement. If millions of people lose their livelihoods then we can be sure that the resultant churning of populations will create huge new streams of migration, across the bay, the Indian Ocean, and indeed, the planet. Recent refugee flows in the region suggest that such a process may have already begun.”
however 200 million environmental refugees may not be disastrous enough…..
