So we got a new Government, and a new Leader

[Murray]

Well what would Goff and Annette King do in this situation??? The Labour Party have got to be joking if they think those two will raise their flagging mast. If they had been in before the election they would have lost by a helluva lot more.

RIP Labour

[Finn]

RIP Labour

Don't you mean RIH Labour?

[Murray]

Don't you mean RIH Labour?

I never speak ill of the dead (BUT YES)

[Newblade]

We pay our taxes, we're entitled to vote and we can run down any country that pisses us off so fuck off yourself you racist cunt.

Best you know someones heritage before you call them a racist cunt.



Just so happens half my family came here in fucking canoes.

Racist ME ?????? fuck you, you piece of shit

[Finn]

Finn, pity the boys in blue didnt capture another 5 - 10 seats to really rub it in. Especially if they were largely at the cost of that ''watermelon'' party.

True. Perhaps a referendum on MMP is in order...

Racist is as racist does.
Being a waka paddler don't make you immune...

That is on the agenda with the next election I believe

[Robert Taylor]

What makes you and many other people think national will sell everything off by lunch time??? are ya fucking dumb??

Remeber Labour selling the rails??? and then buying it back at a higher cost because it was making mone in private hands???

Oh dear I could go on..and don't get me started with the greens..

Saturday night was a memorable night, hey where is Idle Lefty???

[jrandom]

Well, isn't the current situation interesting.

Rodney and Mr Dunne sniping at each other from the sidelines while Key suppresses giggles for long enough to pretend to love the brown man and builds a rather clever centrist power base.

My respect for Mr Key just grew ever so slightly...

So because half your family arrived a bit early that means anything you say can't possibly be racist? I imagine the original inhabitants may have ued phrases like "if you don't like it then fuck off back to your own country" too.

Face it, your choice phrase implies you're a racist cunt.

Rail infrastructure and sea ports are the key to a modern distribution network. Not roads. I think they should sell the roads and make them private and develop rail and shipping. Then you'd see some financial and carbon credit savings.

Sea Ports work very well in a hilly set of Islands like NZ. Even those run by the State seem to make a profit

But N.Z. Railways, Tranz-Rail, Wisconson Rail, and TOLL have all been punished by attempting to run a rail network here.

Fortunately, the good old kiwi tax-payer has always been there to bail them out.

[James Deuce]

But N.Z. Railways, Tranz-Rail, Wisconson Rail, and TOLL have all been punished by attempting to run a rail network here.

Yes, because the fools keep thinking that they can run a railway on a gauge that no one makes rolling stock for. They also think that NZ is tiny, so it can't be THAT expensive to run a really small rail network.

That's the thing with Infrastructure. Sometimes you have to rip it up and start again. Sometimes the ROI takes decades. Capitalists don't do decades. Neither do NZ Governments. Your argument has the standard short term gain requirement embedded in it, because you can't possibly imagine spending money on something that doesn't benefit you directly. That is exactly why poverty continues to grow everywhere.

What??? No it isn't.

The Federal Reserve is an independent institution within the Federal Government that regulates the banking system, manages the money supply, and acts as the primary interface between the US Treasury and the private banking sector.

The only link to the private banking system is that the private banks operating within the US own stock within the twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks. This gives the private banks access to the Fed's retail and wholesale payments systems, FDIC insurance on deposits, and liquidity in financial emergencies. However the private banks have to submit to regulation and supervision by the Federal Reserve to access these facilities.

The Independent Treasury Act of 1921 suspended the de jure (meaning "by right of legal establishment") Treasury Department of the United States government. Our Congress turned the treasury department over to a private corporation, the Federal Reserve and their agents. The bulk of the ownership of the Federal Reserve System, a very well kept secret from the American Citizen, is held by these banking interests:

Rothschild Bank of London
Rothschild Bank of Berlin
Warburg Bank of Hamburg
Warburg Bank of Amsterdam
Lazard Brothers of Paris
Israel Moses Seif Banks of Italy
Chase Manhattan Bank of New York
Goldman, Sachs of New York
Lehman Brothers of New York
Kuhn Loeb Bank of New York
