Parklife
By NZB3
Just listening to Radio Hauraki. (Hau-rak-ie not ‘Hoe-raki.’) A Blur song came on and a lyric struck me… “I feed the pigeons, I sometimes feed the sparrows too It gives me a sense of enormous well-being (Parklife) And then I’m happy for the rest of the day Safe in the knowledge there will always be […]

Rakaia Ripoff
By NZB3
How about half million dollars for a government mini-golf course in Rakaia? Ashburton District Council are making a ridiculous demand on their tax livestock. If there was a market for such a thing why not suppose free people could come up with such a business? Do holes in the ground and some astroturf from the […]

Hyperscale Data Centre
By NZB3
This just in about the new Hyperscale Data Centre coming to Westgate, West Auckland. Apparently the woman pulling the strings (or public-facing) is Vanessa Sorenson. Was only half-listening to her “interview” (really PR for ZB and probably comes with a recepit….) and forgot why I hit play. It was because I’m interested in West Auckland […]

“Christopher Luxon says he wants nothing to do with the Greens while he’s Prime Minister. “
By NZB3
These two (image left) are gone now. At least I hope so. Rod Carr just left the Climate Change Commission and James Shaw got out of the Green Party earlier in the year. Interestingly, I had a hunch that Shaw might have had a place in this Ministry. While doing the round in the media […]

Politicians Grab Surveillance Cameras II
By NZB3
National 5.0 have done a very fine job capturing road surveillance cameras from the Police. I often think it’s a bit of a shame that Beehive communications staff aren’t eligible for the New Zealand Film and Television Awards or AXIS advertising awards. Their sneaky Edward Bernays inspired propaganda is done in the dark. If anyone […]

Brown is my Superpower
By NZB3
I have 2 irritated media observations for you from this weekend’s Otago Daily Times before trailing off into an esoteric discourse on macrohistory analysis. Because, after all, if economics can be broken down into micro and macroeconomics why shouldn’t I use the same terminology for long-term history trends? Firstly then, and briefly, so I can […]

Mediawatch: Move Westport Uphill
By NZB3
“Buller mayor on the plan to potentially relocate Westport” – Newstalk ZB The West Coast town has flooding troubles. What shall they do? Seek advice. Urban design company Isthmus paid “$500,000” to tell Westport what to do. Build on higher ground. The Government are taking us for fools as per usual and who is calling […]

Kea Calculus
By NZB3
New Zealand’s alpine parrot the kea (Nestor notabilis) was once hunted as a pest at the behest of The State. The government bounty was at “$120 a head at one stage. More than 150,000 were shot before the bounty was removed, and they were protected in 1986.” Ref. North & South (2020,) Wayback Machine These […]

Australian Truth
By NZB3
The Australian mainstream identity must be pretty fragile right now. That’s a metaphysical problem shared by Anglos worldwide: What am I? Who are we? This is an Anaphase Crisis in that we all accept in a natural process like cell replication but don’t tend to apply to a large organism like Australia. The way I […]

Politics in Heterogenia
By NZB3
The greatest Extinction Burst in cinema was the fate of the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) as it was melted down and destroyed. The evil sociopathic Janus-faced robot revisited every face and shape it had used in the whole film to manipulate and murder until its repertoire was extinguished at last. Politicians are […]
