Dear Citizens of Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Singapore, the United States and Vietnam, today New Zealand is hosting the signing of the TPPA. As an inhabitant of this country, I am gutted that our Prime Minister invited the representatives of your countries to come over here to sign the treaty. […]
I have written about onerous debt, the reserve bank system and the collusion between the “Government” and the privately owned banking cartel to create money out of thin air to keep us enslaved while they extract wealth from our hard labour through interest and the many other devious ways they have developed over the centuries. […]
For those of you who haven’t heard the Presentations of Lori Wallach. Lawyer and long term outspoken critic of the TPPA here are they. Also if you are only just waking up to the horror of what is the TPPA you might want to visit the It’s our future website for more information and resources. […]
If we decide to ditch the old flag so says the Daily Mail the fern will replace the old flag. I don’t know about you but I feel that it is a bit premature to make this world news just yet and me thinks that some powerful interests don’t want us to even have the […]
Just in case you are wondering why John Key acts the way that he does without impunity here is a hint. Laws around the world will be changed to fit the US system when the TPPA is signed, meaning that people like John Key are basically free to do whatever they want! By Zach Carter […]
Today from 10 am to 5 pm demonstrations are planned against the TPPA in all of New Zealand. Please join the one in your town and let John Key and Tim Groser know you are up to their secrecy game and don’t support New Zealand signing over its sovereignty to the supra-national unelected bankster/ corporate […]
Not many people realized it at the time but when the AIG (American Insurance Group) was allowed to buy the New Zealand All Black rugby team it did not just buy a Rugby team. It entered the body politic of New Zealand. With the sponsorship contract worth $ 80 million, about $ 15 million per […]
I know what you don’t, nana nana naaa naaa! I know what’s in the TPP and you’re all muppets!!! John Key 18/8/2015 to all Kiwi’s for not knowing what’s in the TPP “free” trade agreement (Sarcasm) To understand John Key’s arrogance and snide remarks about the protesters (and 96% of all Kiwi’s saying no to […]
With every journalist and TV presenter including the 60 minute team either being fired or put under severe pressure to shut up about important political issues the police have begun to harass writers of the Daily Blog and the editor Martin Bradbury aka as Bomber. Bomber was in fact one of the very first journalists […]
Today the news reached us that the Corporate coup called the TPPA will not be signed because of the fact that most countries did not feel their needs were sufficiently met and other than the promise of a next meeting has amounted to nothing with almost all countries feeling the pressure from its people. And […]
“The letter indicates a wide-ranging privatisation and globalisation strategy within the Agreement which aims to severely restrict “state-owned enterprises” (SOEs). Even an SOE that exists to fulfil a public function neglected by the market or which is a natural monopoly would nevertheless be forced to act “on the basis of commercial considerations” and would be […]
A week ago I wrote about the use of my badges as avatars. I was miffed that people would use them (even though I felt flattered they like them) as Facebook avatars without ordering a badge to support my blog. I would still love it people ordered my badges because it really would go a […]
With the TPPA waiting in the wings and the banks making record profits while the populations of many countries are being subjected to vicious austerity I thought I’d repost the Money Masters. A long video with tons of information about the history of our current banking system.
10 days ago Obama suffered a serious loss when Congress denied him a vote he needed to push the TPPA through. This week a teenage kid shot 9 people in a black church and the media talked of nothing else. Make no mistake, this was a terrible terroristic act and it deserves our unmitigated condemnation […]
In this excellent and well sourced post Washington’s blog details how the NSA collects data in order to blackmail and terrorise people it doesn’t like but also how sexual (mis)conduct from high profile politicians and judges, to name a few, is being used to blackmail them into voting and judging court cases to suit the […]
Here is John “Snake Oil” Key selling the TPPA to the peasants of Oxford. We had to look it up but yes there is such a place in New Zealand. (Inhabitants number 1905 in the middle of the South Island. It received prices for being the most beautiful village and having the most beautiful loo! […]

Wednesday, 12 November 2014, 10:00 am Press Release: Professor Jane Kelsey Did Key and Groser sell out on TPPA with nothing on agriculture? According to the Wall Street Journal, trade minister Groser says the politicians have ‘informally “closed out” all but two major areas’ of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) negotiations. Those areas are state-owned […]
Update: Somebody pointed out to me that I made a mistake. The ITUC is not an American Union but an international confederation of Unions world wide. I apologise for the error of my ways. I am always ready to correct errors and as I am only human I will make them. The fact remains that […]
“What we saw in the weekend on TPP, we have to engage like it or not,” he said. “So we in business will be there to help and we will put our hands in our pocket as well for a fighting fund because it is really necessary.” Sir Greame Sir Graeme said he was concerned […]
Let’s not kid ourself. We are not going to beat huge transnational corporations with one rally. Not even a global one. But they are running scared and they are already trying to weasel parts of the TPPA through with other secret trade agreements. John Key’s visit to Obama was not about the TPPA or ISIS […]
In order to understand why it is really important that you come out tomorrow on 8 November and tell John Key and Tim Groser that you do not want them to sign on to the TPPA I thought I’d give you this short video to watch. The video is about how a small group of […]

Official Information Act (OIA) correspondence between the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and the Greens — released to the media tonight — show the EPA […]
There are no public interest or free speech exemptions. Criminalisation of disclosure would apply to journalists working for commercial media organisations or wherever the leak was considered harmful to the “economic interests” of any TPP country. Here a nice little snippet from the newly leaked Snowden papers. You think what happened to Nicky Hager (Now […]
By Travellerev in cooperation with Ben Vidgen An interesting question was raised by a lady who sent me a letter she received from the department of Justice. Anita Boccino, now and for many years a New Zealander but originally a US citizen wanted an answer to a very simple question and decided to request a […]
