My money is on our friend Mr Sleep. I’d like to see him deny it!

Better watch out mate, if you were a lefty that would get you a visit from the police.

How much money did WINZ ( and by extension, Goverment) give to these prospective terrorists? That angle doesn’t seem to have been covered yet.

Will WINZ be trying to recoup what was granted from whichever organisation applied for funding?

“Andrew.

I doubt you would find that poll pointless if the final result reflected your own opinion.”

What makes you so sure that it doesn’t reflect my opinion?

Those criticising police credibility might have to reassess that criticism and readdress it to those who wrote the bill in such a way that prosecutions could not be effected in the face of such evidence.

Yes david
Leaks, hackers – the gloves are off.
The media is a plaything…
Investigation into these aspects of ‘government by innuendo’ deserve more scrutiny.

well inventory, given that the Herald has been overlooked by the ‘leaker’ on this – I would be tempted, if I edited there, to run an investigative piece about where the leaks are coming from.

Call me suspicious but does anyone else find it highly convenient that the discussion on the identity of the “poll hacker” was effectively stopped dead by the admission and confession?

Methinks that the embarrassment that would have ensued if the truth was known would have been highly damaging – enough to make two people fall on their sword.

Of course NPOG will reappear under a different guise and pseudonym to continue distorting and obfuscating from “the inside”.

“Now I have no sympathy for the “deluded pseudo-Vietcong” playing war games in the Ureweras financed by WINZ.”

Too close for comfort bud!

I bet this kid was put up to this by some trade union thug. The gangs treat the youing in a similar way getting them to perform burglaries.

Guys – I’m sure DPF will have a thread about this soon. I have blogged twice about these leaks on Keeping Stock – in the first thread – Sat 10/11 http://keepingstock.blogspot.com/2007/11/whodunnit.html – I closed with the following:

“There’s one other possibility – “sources in Wellington” – the media code for sources close, very close to the Prime Minister’s Department. But surely that wouldn’t happen………..would it?”

This is one occasion on which I’d love to be proved wrong, but this whole business is staring to develop a very strange smell…..

Would anybody in their sane mind support the delusions of grandeur that makes Helen’s stinking thinking detrimental to the safety and functioning ability of the country ?? Surely a vote of NON CONFIDENCE in our Prime Minister should be advocated by the opposition parties ? The silence is sickening in a country dwelling in a political cess pit of corruption .

dad – I think there is a split, it’s been kept under wraps, but it is forming.

Sorry Dad, I wasn’t trying to equate you with terrorists, just that comments need to be taken in “context”.
For instance yesterday on this Blog, some one blogged on the need to “Pop” Helen Clark, now we all know he was speaking figuratively, but taken out of context it could have been interpteted as a death threat.
Now I have no sympathy for the “deluded pseudo-Vietcong” playing war games in the Ureweras financed by WINZ, but a court of law can examine both sides of a case and come up with a judgment. Trial by media is never a substitute for this, although it may help sell papers.

Lee C ,
As far as the Labour Party goes , Helen Clark will destroy it through her infatuation with power control. Watch . Everybody hates her obnoxious and deceptive character , even long time Labour supporters are no longer interested in providing her the traditional red voter power base . She is history and the Labour Party will take decades to recover after the collapse of the infrastructure . I will not lend them a hand to rebuild a corrupt political machine , which is , Labour !

With reference to the leak about police intelligence on the terrorist training camps. Did anyone else note they are picking John Key as the next prime minister?

Yvette I hope your are NOT insinuating that I condone the mass murder of innocent school children by a deranged homicidal maniac ?
