The NZ government is moving fast to remake NZ's laws to enshrine corporate immunity as NZ sits on the biggest gold strike in a century and a stockpile of the most important mineral you've never heard of.

"When Slate went looking for an equivalent list of Democratic pedophiles, they were able to come up with: a random donor, the head of a local Young Democrats, and Anthony Weiner's sexts. Not a speaker of the House, a Chief Justice, and a President."

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the political punditry and consulting class, performing fifty shades of status quo...
Listen to the corporate centrists. They do not care about people. Their only priority is protecting the capitalist machine that feeds them.

They’ll sacrifice anyone, normalize fascism, do anything if it means the checks keep coming in.

“How much has police culture changed in the intervening decades? A close reading of the IPCA report, alongside the Bazley report from 2007, would suggest the answer is “too little”.” #nzpol #RapeCulture
How far has police culture come since the Louise Nicholas case and the Bazley report?
In 2007, an independent inquiry uncovered a ‘male-oriented’ police culture ‘sceptical of sexual assault victims’. What's changed?

Nuzzi's fawning coverage of the sociopathic conspiracy crank she was having an affair with aided his rise to political power, which he is using to perpetrate the worst intentional public health catastrophe of our unnecessarily shortened lifetimes, and THAT is the STORY.

"The real danger lies in the normalisation of this behaviour.

When government dismisses consultation as a nuisance, treats Te Tiriti as outdated, and derides scrutiny, those habits set a precedent. [..] New Zealanders will pay the price."

The propaganda machine of fascism and the infected discourse of racism is uncomfortably clear in this old clip.
Something familiar is happening…

In the civil rights era, they smeared leaders as “communist” to break their credibility and stall their momentum. It was the easiest way to silence dissent and turn justice movements into supposed security threats.

These are the SAME think tank network architects that are influencing NZ education policy pushing the gateway infrastructure for these type of policies...

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

This. the system is broken. Labour got their historic majority under MMP because the electorate wants bold ideas. Candidates who will fight hard for democracy, human rights, equity, dignity, radical energy/conservation reforms and equality under the law will clean up, people are fed up. Bring it.
Coming up on another election where these are your options if you vote for either of the major parties

We need to use the real words. Epstein didn’t “like girls”. He raped them and marketed them to other men to rape them.

Got turned down on a piece about ICE in Chicago for an international news org because they believed I couldn’t be objective about my neighbors getting kidnapped. And well, guilty as charged I guess.

We've gone from "financier" to "late convicted sex offender" as a descriptor for Jeffrey Epstein do you think the media get it yet???

Coup. The word is coup.
There were 159,000 written submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill (on top of over 23,000 submissions last year) - numbers that are second only to the Treaty Principles Bill in NZ’s history.

More than 98% of public submissions were opposed.

There’s a word for this, but it’s not democracy.
Controversial Regulatory Standards Bill passes third reading
The bill got the backing of the coalition parties
