“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 […]

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 […]

Canterbury A&P Show 2023

By NZB3

Something wasn’t going right with the Canterbury A&P Show this year. For one thing, they re-named themselves New Zealand Agricultural Show by dropping the ‘pastoral’ from the title but that’s been wrong since 2018. I visited on Thursday the 16th between rainstorms so it was sunny and pleasant and not too busy. Last year was […]

Mystery Box Luxon

By NZB3

After the General Election we will, finally, get to met Chris Luxon. Who the hell is he? Yes, you’re right. It would be ideal to know him prior to electing him but he can’t have that can he? A known quantity. Instead he has done everything he can to mirror Red Chris. The old true […]

Criticism of Maori Elites is Racist…..warn Maori Elites

By NZB3

Fresh new lead news story this morning has been created by Maori elites who have written an open letter to politicians and would-be politicians¹. You know they’re Maori because they’re telling you most loudly and you know they’re elites because it made front-line news. When was the last time you and your friends wrote a […]
