I've been banned from commenting over at Kiwiblog, I suspect others have been banned for the same reason - expressing views that are diametrically opposed to the prevailing kiwiblog narrative. If you have also been banned without warning or for no apparent...
I tried posting the following comment in the Beyond the Hyperbole' thread: "We should expect a reciprocal arrangement where the US allows New Zealand's IRD carte blanche access to the accounts of suspected New Zealand tax dodgers."
I think I've been banned from Kiwiblog. Every time I attempt to post there my comment does not show up in the posted comments, if I copy and paste and try again I get the 'Duplicate comment detected' pop-up box and still nothing on the comments section.
There's always the flag of the United Tribes of New Zealand. , although similarity with the St. George Cross and the fact the 'United Tribes' consisted of Nga Puhi with a smattering of Tainui adherents probably wouldn't go down well anywhere south of ...
Marx was a bit of authoritarian nut and spent a disproportionate amount of time lurching about the show in an attempt to banish dissenting voices from the Internationals. Bakunin's contempt for the authoritarian blend of socialism preached by Marx is well ...
Anarchism is making a resurgence, this appears to be what Adam has in mind. The appealing central tenet of anarchist philosophy being the legitimacy of any form of authority must be challenged - it would take more than a phone box to house those who would ...
blue leopard (Get Lost GCSB Bill) 20.2 25 January 2014 at 1:33 pm Also, would have been good to provide a link to Bertrand Russell’s 10 commandments. The Liberal Decalogue (Secular 10 Commandments) 1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything. 2. Do not ...
Will@Welly 10.3.1 24 January 2014 at 10:31 am I matey, am working class. Maybe you aren’t. No illusions here. I left school at 16 and worked as a telecom lineman/cablejointer at the NZPO, all my life I have been involved in manual labour. My father still ...
I have enjoyed this exchange, from my first encounter with it over at Kiwiblog to the original post at Kiwipolitico followed by Chris Trotter's critique to here then on to Paul Buchanan's reply to Chris Trotter. If the Left is going to prevail, and I don't...
Campbell's treatment of Alastair Thompson's decision to join the Dotcom snowball serves to illustrate the stridently independent narrative Scoop has created. Next to Gordon Campbell people like Cameron Slater are highlighted as gibbering fools. I do not ...
On the subject of Bjorn Lomborg, I would recommend The Lomborg Deception by Howard Friel. I'm only at the beginning, but it does seem to be shaping up as a comprehensive debunking of Lomborg's 'contribution' to the study of humanity's affect on the climate...
Nevermind right-wing outlets denying the deluge of evidence warning of the impending disaster, more pressure needs to be applied to mainstream outlets to take the problem more seriously - when was the last time National Radio committed significant ...
Citizen A was usually worth watching and The War on News was generally o.k.. I think Bradbury can be annoyingly shrill at times, but New Zealand really is a desert when it comes to analysis of the agenda driving the coordinator class. The 1% wouldn't be ...
lprent 10.1 16 January 2014 at 7:22 pm I’m not celebrating it. I’m writing an opinion on how amateurish I found having advertising for a birthday party which runs directly into a potential legal conflict with the formation of a still un (officially) ...
I posted something similar over on Kiwiblog, but it looks like the Electoral Commission shut down the Internet Party launch after coming under pressure from the Labour/National coalition. 25000 registering to attend a political rally must have scared the ...
Great interview Morrissey, Glenn Greenwald is brilliant in these kinds of interviews, especially when up against courtiers like Fleischer. Chomsky repeatedly makes the point that from the perspective of the state the real enemy is the general public. All ...
I thought it was about the criminalising of dissent, of which Snowdon is but one example.
More 'whistle-blowers' have been prosecuted under the Obama regime in the US than at any other time in that nation's history. Across the West, regardless of which band of crooks control the Treasury benches, there has been a determined effort to ...
Workers made this world as awesome as it is, not conservatives.
I wouldn't vote Labour for many reasons. I was a telecom lineman working for the Post Office during the Lange regime and I voted for Labour in 1987 after Lange had done the rounds of the unions promising the newly 'corporatised' Telecom would not be sold. ...
Those journalists are all going to be targets of this spying. I remember reading somewhere that the profession that supplies the greatest number of informants to organisations like the SIS is journalism. The vast majority of 'professionals' have a vested ...
Yeah, and it flies in the face of the establishment meme that no one outside the belt way is interested in this issue.
Really, so you could imagine a scenario where Air Force 1 (the US president's plane) was refused air space and forced to land in an unscheduled port then forcefully boarded by that country's security agents.
What was truly appalling was the collusion of the Spanish, French and Portuguese governments forcing Evo Morales' plane to land in Austria, then the Austrians, suspecting Snowden was on board, searching the plane. The arrogance of the US state seems to be ...
Why is humanity so vulnerable to these class systems taking root in our social body? It took the immense catastrophe that was the Great War to discredit capitalism and the elite class system the first time around. What would it take to discredit it ...
An opiate for the masses.
When the SIS were caught breaking into Aziz Choudry's house the National party in collusion with the Labour party retrospectively chanced the law making it legal for the SIS to break into people's houses. Don't kid yourself. The Labour party and the ...
I see the guys over at Scoop have posted the latest Maori Party response to Labour colluding with National to further entrench police brutality as a means of quashing dissent. Labour/National shut down inquiry The Māori Party is reeling at the decision of ...
Yeah, right on Brett. I'm sure practically nobody cares about Key introducing a Stasi style secret-police surveillance apparatus apart from the usual band of left-wing extremists like the New Zealand Law Society.
David Farrar/Whaleoil have the right idea- http://www.kiwiblog.co.nz/2013/03/truth_asks_what_will_labour_do.html#comments - Labour/Greens need to come out and state they will be nationalising the privatised portion of Mighty River Power when they win the ...
Under prohibition the price of P is grossly inflated to accommodate the level of risk of every investment at each stage of the production and distribution network entails. If the production and distribution were controlled under the more democratic model I...
