Elections are coming up. What are we thinking?

[MisterD]

I can't comment on the book specifically as I haven't read it. I did however read the Whaleoil blog for a couple of years or so. Being very familiar with the blog some of the reported claims in the book make sense. When reading the blog some of the items produced a "WTF?" reaction, particularly those regarding health matters. The contention that Slater didn't write them and was paid to publish them makes perfect sense now.

Yeah, nah. If he didn't write the posts under his name, then someone's pretty good a copying his style. Same goes for the allegation that David Farrar doesn't write all the stuff on "the other KB".

There's been a pretty marked change in the overall tone since he blogged on his issues with depression and getting off the meds he was on. The outright nasty stuff isn't there anymore and whatever your thoughts about Slater as a person, you can't really deny that he really understands politics and offers insights that nobody else seems able to.

his father is a former National Party office holder.

His dad was the man that recruited John Key to stand for parliament.

Anyhoo, some clear thinking, clearly articulated, by Mr Peter Cresswell: http://pc.blogspot.co.nz/2014/08/hag...h-macabre.html

Unfortunately Cresswell and company fell off the political wagon and disappeared into the ethos!

They appeared clear thinking indeed but still backing the same flawed money system, so inevitably they were doomed to fail anyway!

Ether, oldrider, ether.

Ether

There's a small team writing that blog even before the possibility that he published lobbyist's material under his own name. So the "style" is variable anyway.

He should have "insights" ffs, the PM and others ring him for a chat. He once claimed politics was his game. I disagree - he's a wannabe, albeit a well connected wannabe, and he'll stay a wannabe until he stands for an electorate seat.

Please detail the illegal spying? News to me

.......Subsequent investigation of the illegal spying on Kim Dotcom uncovered the fact that the GCSB in particular regularly and knowingly had broken the law on numerous other occassions, illegally spying on at least 88 New Zealanders, when their founding charter expressly forbid such spying.


Jog your memory?

I feel real bad labelling many right wingers as compassionless heartless bastards who only give a rats arse about themselves.. especially after reading this:

Cameron Slater talking about Christchurch - all of us (!!!pp26 - 27 )

" the place is fucked.. They should just board it up and close it down "
His mate Peter Smith replied " A real tragedy, but it will fuck Labour for the election "
Slater : yep . Blessings
Peter Smith " what I can't believed is how we have to bail out these useless pricks on the South Island again . I said to someone today National should let them rot , after all they are useless scum Labour voters especially in areas where the earthquake hit - well hopefully more scum Labour voters will piss off to Australia - at least the fucking uninsured get nothing "
Slater replies : those suburbs are hard core Labpur - the owners will be Nat voters though and the voters tenants , so the houses are gone and the scum are gone too and so they should get nothing "

As Mr Revhead said, Hager needs a bullet eh...

I take great pleasure from the fact that I support the party who would rank by far the least guilty in the 'dirty politics' stakes.

"the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result"

all you people that vote are by definition insane,

the problem goes from the left (envy) to the right(greed) and back again and is fucking endless

[Robert Taylor]

You CAN have right wing views and a social conscience. As for that weasel Nicky Hager its nothing that a vile of cyanide wouldn't fix.
