The anti-Labour conspiracy grows
September 26th, 2011 at 10:00 am by David FarrarI blogged last week on how Trevor Mallard had joined the birthers and truthers with his bizarre conspiracy theory involving myself, Matthew Hooton, Bill English, the PSA and leftie academic Bryce Edwards.
Well as they say in x-files, Trevor is not alone in thinking the truth is out there. His colleague Clare Curran has weighed in alleging an even larger conspiracy. She tweeted:
@Whaleoil I think the point is that there’s a very cosy relationship between yourself, Farrar, Hooton, young Nats and the non-Labour left.
Clare has rumbled us. The conspiracy is not just Bryce Edwards. It is the entire non-Labour left. The Vast Right Wing Conspiracy (VRWC) is in fact the Vast Right Wing and non-Labour Left Wing Conspiracy (VRWNLLWC).
We meet monthly in an undisclosed location. I can’t reveal the name of our chairman (think higher than Bill English), but the participants include Russel Norman, myself, Metiria Turei, Matt McCarten, Hone Harawira, Chris Trotter, the Young Nats, Laila Harre, Matthew Hooton, Sue Bradford, Cameron Slater, John Minto, Nicky Hager, Danyl McLauchlan, NZUSA, Bernard Hickey, the PSA, Matt Robson, the Sunday Star-Times and X (a deep cover agent who is posing as a Labour MP).
Imperator Fish also reveals how the conspiracy came to light:
The Dunedin academic community is in shock today, after respected political scientist Dr Bryce Edwards admitted he was on the payroll of a despicable cabal involving National Party ministers and corrupt public service unionists.
The revelation came after Dr Edwards broke down in tears during a Q&A interview with Paul Holmes.
On the show, Dr Edwards admitted that he owed his extravagant lifestyle to the enormous amounts of cash being funneled into his bank accounts from the National Party, via David Farrar and Matthew Hooton and their PSA allies. …
Dr Edwards admitted to Paul Holmes that the money for the arrangement arrived every morning from a PSA courier
“The money would come in these brown paper bags, together with a handwritten note with my instructions for the day. It was more money than I’d ever seen in my life,” a tearful Dr Edwards admitted.
“I would always a cut to James Meager. The deal was that he would do my dirty work, when I didn’t want my name associated with something. In return he got 30% of everything. The rest was my own.
“I spent up bigtime. Fast cars, boats, a chalet in the Swiss Alps, but still I had more money than I knew what to do with.
“I knew I was in over my head, but I couldn’t say no. Here was I, just some nerdy politics lecturer, and suddenly I had cash to spend and all the hottest women in Dunedin wanted to be with me.”
Imperator Fish continues:
Dr Edwards told Paul Holmes that he had tried to escape from the arrangement.
“I tried. I told my PSA minders that I’d had enough, and that I was sick of having to write whatever they told me. That was my biggest mistake. The next day David Farrar turned up on my doorstep. I still have nightmares about what he did to me.
“After than I never questioned my orders.”
Trevor Mallard said he was delighted to have uncovered such a ruthless and cynical assault on democracy in New Zealand.
“I knew I was onto something as soon as Edwards started to say unkind things about the Labour Party. That was his first mistake. I’ve always said that as bad as the National Party may be, the real enemy are the traitors on the left.
“I’ve learned to uncover these conspiracies, having read The Hollow Men back to back at least fifty times. If Bryce Edwards isn’t a secret Don Brash supporter, then I know nothing.”
Again I commend Trevor and Clare for unmasking the great VRWNLLWC.

I was watching X-Factor the other night with my husband, and we were having fun guessing which contestants would be good or not based on their attitude prior to their performance. We were 100% right. The arrogance of Labour matches the arrogance of those who thought they were shit-hot but in reality were just plain painful to watch. Try for a little humility Labour – be willing to listen to criticism and learn from it.

I just wish this conspiracy were as vast as the Labour Party thinks it is. But it just shows the Labour Party have not learned anything since the election loss in 2008. They STILL think the people will realise they have made this terrible mistake and come back to mamma. But it seems apart from a few die hard unionists the Labour brand is a declining force – UNLESS Labour can find a charismatic leader. That has been how the Labour Party keeps its-self alive with surprising success in Australia. Take away that charismatic Leader and the Party is dead meat. What they need is a telegenic, married with children, Barrister/Lawyer and get him (yes a him) into Parliament asap and the Clare Currens of this world need to realise that.

That’s like an old bloke driving the wrong way on the motorway. And thinking all the cars skidding round to avoid him should turn round and go the same way he is.
I do hope the VRWNLLWC sells T-shirts. Have to be baggy ones, or small lettering, though.

Trev is just a little angry at present because he knows he will never be back in a Government. He is struggling to come to terms with rejection by the electorate. He has taken to banning anyone who says the slightest thing that puts Labour in a bad light – so much that Red Alert is essentially becoming a worthless echo chamber.
Trev needs to accept this at quickly announce he is quitting parliament to spend more time with his family

Almost all of Labour’s MPs live in a relatively hermatically sealed left wing bubble. They tend to hang out with trade unionist activists, radical (often childless) feminists, are rainbow or rainbow coalition friendly and find middle NZ – white hetero males in particular – boorish, bear drinking, rugby loving oafs. They see John Key’s natural affinity with such a large swarth of middle NZ as a faked political persona. Because astroturfing comes so naturally to them they assume the Nats and Key do the same.
This tendency to hang out with fellow travellers and to disdain those who aren’t as PC and enlightened has sealed Labour’s activist and campaign brains off from the normal political feedback loop that tells you when you’re way out of tune with the electorate’s thinking. The left dream of the charismatic leader who can so articulate progressive policies as to make the core of Labour activist ideology acceptable to the centre. Obama has shown that this is not possible – because the policies of the left when implimented lead to economic decline and middle class voters recoil from the agenda of the hard left being imposed on them.
The purists that now have absolute control over Labour can never recant and become true pragmatic centrists (the heresy of Rogernomics still looms large in the memory of the left) so they are left to whine about their new found irrelevance – hence these pathetic blog posts and tweets from Mallard and Curran.
