Familiar mega-banks and investing powerhouses such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, […]

The Bilderberg meeting is taking place in Denmark this year.

And not just from journalists but every human being. What are these rich and well connected […]
Jeremy Scahill From Blackwater fame made and excellent documentary about the use of drones in the dirty wars of aggression the US, NATO and hence New Zealand is involved in. Just remember this film when John Key is going to visit Obama under whose watch these war crimes have multiplied and exploded.
“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.” – John F. Kennedy “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander” proverb Anonymous.

Update: Judith Collins regrets Orivida interactions? No Judith, you regret being caught for the greedy unpricipled pig that you are. Step down! In true bully fashion Judith Collins has announced that she will retreat from Twitter. I say bully fashion because that of course is what a bully does. It’s one thing to make arrogant, […]
