In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, some scholars and others transformed the Aryans into a mythical “race” that they claimed was superior to other races. In Germany, the Nazis promoted this false notion that glorified the German people as members of the “Aryan race,” while denigrating Jews, Black people, and Roma and Sinti (Gypsies) as “non-Aryans.” [1]

“Denigrating Jews, Black people, and Roma and Sinti (Gypsies) as non-Aryans” was the thin edge of the wedge, the crime against humanity, ending in the utter horror of the Holocaust.
“Dehumanizing people through negative language” is obviously racism.

But the collateral action, that “promoted this false notion that glorified the German people as members of the ‘Aryan race’,” what was that called?

Does Race Relations Commissioner Meng Foon have a word for that?

  Ironically “Aryan” is derived from the same root as “Iranian” – not many people know that

    Andrei – The Aryan master race concept has its origins in Eastern religions particularly in India.
    
    The Nazis twisted and mixed it all around adding in the occult and Viking mythology.

    If you want the history of the word Aryan – its entymology – go to the link below.
    
    Even some Iranians, such as the former Shah, seemed to have adopted the meaning broadened by German scholars from early in the 20th century. He told a (White) American oil executive: “You know we are the same race as you.”
    
    “Indo-European” is a distinct term, applied to languages that descend from that of a people of the Russian/Ukrainian Steppes. Its range covers most European languages except Finnish, Hungarian, and Estonian, then eastwards to Persian, Kurdish, and Hindi.

  It’s easier to denigrate the “others” after you elevate your own “people” to a higher position.
  Ultimately this creates resentment, which is a very corrosive thing for social cohesion.

      Now that’s something we can look forward to eh?
      We’ll have 15% of the population lording it over 85% of us. That’s going to work well, isn’t it? Let’s not mention Maori Tribes fighting among themselves to have the greatest say in Governance.
      Last night, I watched Andrew Bolt (SKY News Aust) ask Winston Peters what he thought about starting all this kind of stuff off by anointing Ardern.
      Winston must have used every word in the English Language to try to obfuscate the question but in the end, he suggested that NZers should be thankful his mob served as a Hand Brake on Ardern’s mob.

  The Maori Sports “policy” on Te Pati Maori’s website is not jus racist, it’s laughably false.
  
  Any time somebody prefaces something as “a known fact” you can be 100% sure it’s bullshit, and will have no evidence to support it. That’s certainly true for the claim that It is a known fact that Māori genetic makeup is stronger than others., especially when you understand that no Maori has 100% Maori “genetic makeup”.
  
  It gets worse – hilariously worse. The claim is also made, presumably with a straight face, that Māori invented many sports prior to European arrival. Running, Swimming, Fishing, Waka, Hunting, ……. to name a few.
  
  So there you go – nobody ever hunted before Maori invented it (probably thought it up on those long sea voyages back from discovering the South Pole and Antarctica).
  Nobody ever ran in a running race, despite there being evidence of sprint races at the very first Olympic Games in 776 BC, and nobody knew how to swim!

    Serious question.
    
    How pure does your Mori blood have to be for you to enjoy this “stronger” Maori genetic makeup?
    
    If one of your eight great grandparents was pure Maori, would you only have 1/8th of this “stronger” Maori genetic makeup?
    
    Or does a single drop of Maori blood in your veins do the trick?

      That’s the trouble when one group of folks wants to play the superior genetic game…
      
      What happens when your pure lines become diluted/polluted/contaminated with the genetic material of INFERIOR/WEAKER folk?
      
      Mr Hitler’s regime had an answer…… It classified folks into: Full bloods and Mischlings (Grade 1 & 2)
      
      and provided helpful little charts….
      
      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mischling#/media/File:Nuremberg_laws_Racial_Chart.jpg
      
      Considering that well over 60% of Maori children have mixed-ethnicity parentage, I foresee a problem with folks espousing superiority of Maori genes.

The words of that useless fool, Kelvin Davis, in the House and repeated outside it, are racist. They are clearly linked to being questioned about the use of public money being spent by a Charitable Trust for the private use of an individual. That, presumably, is part of the maori world. Well it isn’t part of the NZ that I want to be part of. When is NZ going to stand up and say we have had enough?

  Yes , this cabinet minister is making a very strong point that public accountablity for public money is not part of the maori ‘lens ‘.
  
  Does this help us understand the thinking behind the Mahuta contracts .
  
  Is this the new style of ‘democracy’ that W Jackson , another cabinet member has in mind .
  
  These people and their cabinet and party colleagues who are comfortable with this are either very naive or very dangerous race and political extremists .

    Oddly enough though, I think if certain Maori are negatively affected by a lack of accountability being applied (especially from a decision by Maori for Maori), you would witness much bleating about ‘accountability’.

  Probably 90% are un informed and have no idea of what really is going on. Probabably, because I am biased, a higher % of labour voters are uninformed.
  
  For those that are informed, challanging Kelvin and his mates is ‘racist’.

Eugenics is alive and kicking in the Maori Party:

I thought we’d never have a political party elected to our Parliament that openly and casually preached racial supremacy. I thought we all believed in being born free and equal, as Prime Minister Fraser signed up to in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but unfortunately there is a party in this Parliament that openly and casually declares racial supremacy, and I’m calling today on their leaders to stop it. Here it is for all to see on the website of Te Paati Māori: “It is a known fact that the Māori genetic makeup is stronger than others.” Let me say that again:. “It is a known fact that the Māori genetic makeup is stronger than others.”

From 2 min into David Seymour’s GD

  “It is a known fact that the Māori genetic makeup is stronger than others.”
  
  For goodness sake, what does that even mean?
  
  Stronger in what way? Measured how? Compared to whom?
  
  Good god, can you just imagine what sort of thought processes must be loose and running around within the Maori Party for someone to write such a statement and have it approved for posting to their website.
  
  I’m genuinely speechless.

      Or that this generic superiority meant that while other peoples had developed the written word, metallurgy, and mechanical devices such as pulleys and clocks, Maori hadn’t discovered the wheel, still used stone tools, got about in hollowed out logs, and hunted by way of setting fire to the whole forest

        Yes, this is true. I read it on Te Pati Maori’s website, in the same “Policy” statement as the one about their genetic superiority. And politicians don’t lie, so….

        How amazing that no one had ever swum, or run, caught a fish, or hunted game for the community table until Maori invented it and shared it with the world.
        
        The amazement on the faces of the colonial invaders when they were taught that they could use those muskets to shoot deer as well as people! Lo! What a sight that must have been!

  Maybe this is what Maori Science gives you. The human genome project confirmed definitively that race is a social construct. It has no genetic basis. Our genetic make up is 99.9 percent the same.

    “Our genetic make up is 99.9 percent the same.”
    
    That’s a pretty pointless thing to say since our genetic make up is somewhere over 90% the same as a sea sponge.
    
    There might not be races from a different species point of view, but there are clearly differences in local adaptations etc and various features.
    
    Yes, we are different. Some of us are better at some things than others. Let’s just look at competitive running.
    
    People from West Coast Africa are very dominant in short distance running and do poorly in long distance running. People from East Coast Africa dominate long distance running and generally perform poorly at short distance sprinting. They might have extremely similar genes, but they have adapted very differently and look very different too.
    
    Our biologists make a big fuss about Maui vs Hector’s dolphins, but the differences there are far less than between people.
    
    And, to repeat myself, I am not saying any one group of people is superior to any other group of people based on race or ethnicity (based on their behaviour is a completely different issue).

      Yes fair enough. Just like African Americans are incredible sprinters but terrible at swimming. Probably due to many factors.
      
      I’ll just say that having the Maori Party claim that Maori are genetically superior to the rest of us is a very dangerous development. Why doesn’t that ‘race commissioner’ wade in? What is he there for?

        Email to: [email protected] with your details and the details of the complaint. You’ll get an automated reply saying their response times are being impacted “because of Covid-19” – I kid you not.

    The genetics that rule out race as a concept are haplotypes.
    These markers are inherited from one parent only and rarely change.
    It was this study that showed different human ‘races’ had their characteristic looks based on environmental factors and people within those races were composed of various haplotypes from different migrations over history. Making the concept of race irrelevant.
    Or so I was told at a lecture from a world leading researcher on the topic

    “…race is a social construct.”
    
    Not quite. A recent study of more than 3000 people commented on by by Jerry Coyne this year on his website, Why Evolution is True, found that allele clusters associated by geneticists with racial groups matched the racial self-identification of all but 5 of the individuals studied, (IIRC.) So not entirely a social construct.

      If taken at the extremes of phenotypic variation, you can postulate different races… European/Caucasian; Asian; African…
      
      No one would doubt that I am not a Caucasian-European.
      I’m white, blue-eyed, light brown haired, narrow-nosed, longish head, etc…
      But I am directly descended from generations of folks that were stuck out on a couple of small islands for 3-4000 years and had very little interchange with other groups of people.
      
      But what of my husband, with his yellow-brown skin, brown eyes of a narrow-slit shape, black hair, and short little legs?
      In fact… he’s quite a mix of Asian and Caucasian elements… but that’s what you get when you’ve got Mongolian, Tartar, and Greek forebears.
      
      When you have a gradation in the defining characters of a population between 2 extremes, you have a cline….. and that’s what we have in the Human species….. numerous clines..whereby much of the human population occupies some place on a continuum between one extreme and another, depending upon the characters you use to define the different Races.

  Second paragraph:
  
  There is much to be taught and learnt from the navigators of our past and how we can use that mātauranga to sail and paddle our way into a future frame by Whānau Pakari. It is a known fact that Māori genetic makeup is stronger than others. When there is commitment, dedication, and great support around Māori to achieve a high standard in sport, it is guaranteed that Māori will thrive.

    Not really wrong – they have a higher propensity for putting on muscle than Europeans – a theory for that being that when you are rowing for your life around the pacific it is best to store energy as extra muscle to carry you further rather than body fat.

    Not a fence sitter though, that would not be so bad if he just gathered a pay check and STFUed.
    He comes out in support of poorly conceived assertions like the Police being racist against Maori for example.
    Basically, like the Human Rights commission, they are not set up for all races or all humans. Only special people’s alleged grievances will receive any attention.

Well well well another Labour MP is exposed as a bully (Kelvin Davis) but the Labour Party and the Prime Minister isn’t interested in self-reflection let alone an apology.

Dr Gaurav Sharma’s attempts to expose Labour Party bullying look more credible each day. Pity the Labour sympathetic MSM doesn’t hold their beloved Labour Govt to account!

  Question 9 today will be interesting. Sharma is now Independent, Jaspinda will not be happy.
  Wait, it is Thursday, will Robertson or Chippie be standing in for her??
  If so, she escapes, once again she will not face the music.

If National and Act get to be the Government next year the first thing they should do is put TVNZ up for sale as the Government Identity has lost its way and are prepared to just except the lies and deciet that flow from our Prime Minister’s mouth on just about a daily occurrence.
How can you hold others to account when you see the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern laughing and lying about how she has all but fixed poverty and other problems that the National Party had left them when they were elected as the Government in 2017.
I really don’t mind if the facts are correct but I absolutely go off when people like Jacinda Ardern, Grant Robertson, Kelvin Davis and Willie Jackson laugh and demean others with there nasty snide comments when they themselves are the untruthful ones and the media we as taxpayers funds does not hold them to account for there blatant lies.

The furore around Kelvin Davis’s attack on Karen Chhour yesterday has hidden the implications of the very matter she raised…

“For how much money was the contract recently signed between OT and John Tamihere’s charity, and is the Minister reconsidering this contract in light of today’s revelation that his charities are under investigation for bankrolling John Tamihere and the Māori Party’s political campaigns for nearly half a million dollars?”

Have we seen state funding of political parties by stealth? Are Maori held to different standards that allows such conduct?

  The huge (and seemingly far beyond reasonable) money spent on the Transmission Gully opening organized by a random unspecialised charity led by an Ex Green MP looks dodgy too. Looks like govt funding by stealth of political activists.

John Tamihere, President of the Maori Party, seems to think he is above the need for an investigation into how he spends charitable donations

Remember this man has a law degree and was a Cabinet Minister…… Does he really not understand the difference between a Charity and a Political election campaign?

  I see Tamihere has his ‘it’s all a racist hitjob’ defence well rehearsed….
  
  We’ve really plumbed a new low in NZ when registered charities consider gifting and loaning money for a politician’s election campaigns as charitable purposes, as opposed to say feeding hungry kids or providing prosthetic limbs to amputees or homing battered wives.
  
  Especially so when the politician concerned IS AN ACTUAL SENIOR OFFICE HOLDER IN THE SAID CHARITIES!!!!
  
  I just can’t fucking believe that Tamihere thought this a good idea and went along with it, or worse, cooked up this idea himself.
  
  How this is not a complete misappropriation of charitable funds for personal gain and therefore fraud is completely beyond me.
  
  He’s appeared to use his charities’ funds as a personal piggy bank.
  
  Again, I’m totally speechless.

  But it’s not the first time this has happened as when Andrew Little was the Leader of Labour and slave gate was the talking point there was a mysterious donation that Matt McCarten recieved that no one could remember where it came from , with the rumour being it came out of that same charity.

  John and to a greater extent his mate Willie Jackson are spin doctors before anything else. They are grifters who use their race to make mega bucks while those in their communities suffer.

  This is how the most transparent governing party in the world won power in the last election, campaigning openly and fiercely on its 3 Waters and He Puapua policies.

Ardern reaching the attention of the world yet again.

“New Zealand Prime Minister calls for global censorship of misinformation at UN speech”

https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/new-zealand-prime-minister-calls?utm_source=post-email-title&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

Check out the videos linked. Look at the idiots representing NZ at the UN with their masks on. Nobody else in the place is wearing them. Virtue signaling bullshit.

From the article.

The problem she alludes to is that she believes that you cannot win an argument based on words alone. Governments must censor the speech of people who disagree to win your argument.

She calls for censorship of dissenting views on a global scale.

Her point is that governments cannot make progress on major issues such as climate change unless the public is prevented from hearing opposing views.

The comments on her speech in the YouTube video were not supportive of her point of view.

Will she argue next that any member of the UN who disagrees with her should not be allowed to speak at the UN meetings?

Ministry of Truth coming soon.

The comments referred to are in this link on Youtube. They are very interesting indeed. As are the “likes” v “unlikes”. 823 up, over 6000 down.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_4Cjki3SOM&t=588s

Ardern is being exposed more and more as a globalist/WEF shill. She does not represent the majority of the citizens of NZ. She does not act in our best interests.

  Sadly Clan so many people are easily deceived and even seduced by such fake performative virtue signalling. Ardern is a WEF foot soldier working to introduce a (non democratically elected) one world government (aka authoritarianism cleverly disguised as globalist neoliberalism).
  
  Any sceptics should consider our weakened national sovereignty, increased violent criminality and crushing government debt under Ardern, and observe where she goes next. Here’s a clue, it’s most unlikely to be a business owner in NZ, more likely working for the WHO promoting big corporate interests.

Sounds like the Ad Agency must have done a great sell on Vodafone’s CEO…..

‘One New Zealand’ has been chosen as the company’s new name.
It retains the last three letters of the Vodafone brand – maintaining a degree of continuity – while also conveying a sense of social inclusiveness.

My partner reckons based on that criteria, they could have retained 6 letters and rebranded as….
Dafone.

Gaurav Sharma asked a very important question to the PM in Parliament yesterday:

Who deserves police protection more, politicians threatened by crowds or New Zealanders being robbed “in broad daylight”?

Our Dear PM showed her mettle……she failed to answer the question.

Ardern employed a tactic commonly used in the House, answering just one part of a two-part question: “Decisions around security for politicians are operational.”

“Safe and Effective – A Second Opinion”

Forget about the media hit job by Paula Penfold, here’s a documentary studying the actual impacts of the covid vaccines. It really is a “must watch” for anyone with any concerns at all about either the vaccine itself, or the vicious and undemocratic attacks on free speech and bodily autonomy used by Ardern and other globalists over the last almost 3 years.
It’s almost an hour, worth every minute. Watch this and compare it to the taxpayer funded, nonsensical propaganda piece called “Fire and Fury”.

  Safe and Effective: A Second Opinion shines a light on Covid-19 vaccine injuries and bereavements, but also takes an encompassing look at the systemic failings that appear to have enabled them. We look at leading analysis of pharmaceutical trials, the role of the MHRA in regulating these products, the role of the SAGE behavioural scientists in influencing policy and the role of the media and Big Tech companies in supressing free and open debate on the subject.
  
  Produced in collaboration with Mark Sharman; Former ITV and BSkyB Executive and News Uncut, it’s a self-financed, one-hour TV programme, formatted for 2 commercial breaks.

stringent safeguards? Huh, changing a man’s phone number because you got a message from them is not stringent safeguards. With asb to change my number I have to phone them up, give them my security password, answer a few questions, before they will change it.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/pensioner-loses-134k-after-online-bank-accounts-hacked-by-cyber-criminals/BUGQTLYK2QJMOHJ7GDXSK25L6M/

A pensioner has lost $134,000 after cyber criminals hacked his online bank accounts, convinced staff to change his phone number, then siphoned his money in an elaborate scam.

And though the man claims SBS Bank’s security checks have failed, the bank is refusing to reimburse him for his lost retirement money, saying it has stringent safeguards to protect customers but the stolen funds are now unrecoverable.

This is a very interesting article in OffGuardian today. I’ve read it twice, still mulling it over and the possible implications.

Forget the blame game, Nordstream Sabotage is about the Great Reset & nothing else.

No matter the exact specific details of the situation, the Nordstream explosion was definitely an act of sabotage.

The same sabotage we’ve been seeing for two years.

The sabotage of our entire way of life, by people who would profit both monetarily and politically from a sea-change in the way our society is structured.

The sabotage that leads to faking a pandemic, gutting our healthcare, locking us in our homes and ruining our businesses.

The sabotage of our economy, our society and our very bodies.

The sabotage of us, by them.

An interesting view. It is difficult to understand much of what is happening currently in the world. Strange times.

  There seems a massive disconnect within Europe. The MPs and citizens have bought into the climate change message yet the policies they implement are bizarre.
  
  Witness Belgium. 50% of their power is from 7 nuclear reactors. On Friday, while already facing an energy shortage, they decommissioned one of these (the rest to follow). The argument was that a law passed by the Greens many years ago forces reactors to be shut down after 40 years and that they had no other choice. Obviously this is utter BS as any government could find a law allowing an extension or create one. So even when facing massive economic damage to their country and potential deaths, they couldn’t pass a law to allow the reactor to run for another year?
  
  Lets not forget that Nuclear power plants are one of the best ways to produce baseline energy with extremely low carbon emissions, lower even then hydro. The same is happening all over Europe.
  
  Is it some sort of Davos / world government plan of just a breakout of crazy?

    Agree – see my comment below. It will require millions of people to freeze and sadly for many to die to achieve policy change. Maybe. I’m not sure of anything these days.
    
    If there was an energy crisis in New Zealand, and the lights went out in winter, I can seriously see some politicians on the left saying “Oh well that is the sacrifice we need to make for the climate crisis”. I would not have made that claim 12 months ago. That is how fast things are going down hill.

    The latter methinks. Like every other cult, this one is driven by apocalyptic fears, urges and emotions. It’s been said, perhaps apocryphally, that lemmings jump over the edge of a cliff knowing perfectly well that they will die. The Climate Cult Disciples behave just like that.

  Honestly the sooner the lights go out and folk in the northern hemisphere freeze the better. Because from where I sit, that is what it will take to achieve change. Losing heating in New Zealand is unpleasant. In many parts of the northern hemisphere it means death.
  
  Same in Australia except it will be in summer and the air conditioning goes out. Goodbye government.
  
  Sorry, I just cannot see wind farms and solar heating and cooling these countries and allowing a switch to EVs. Happy to be convinced otherwise by any energy experts here.

    All the EVs are going to need to be charged. There is no forward thinking, the children are in control.

      Canada is onto it
      ‘Four provincial governments are pushing ahead with a plan to develop nuclear power in Canada.
      
      Saskatchewan, Ontario, New Brunswick and Alberta have released their strategic plan to expand the nuclear industry through the development of small modular reactors (SMR).
      
      SMRs are, as their name implies, much smaller than a traditional nuclear reactor. They can be built in a factory and transported by truck, train or ship.
      While a conventional nuclear reactor generates about 1,000 megawatts of energy, SMRs generate between 200 and 300 megawatts — enough to power about 300,000 homes.’

        SMRs are the way to go. Auckland would need at least 6. Best et on with it, they will never be cheaper than today. As demand increases the price will skyrocket.
        Prob have to wait until this Labour scum is voted out first.

    You and I are in total agreement today it seems 🙂
    
    Part of the issue seems to be the predilection on the left to not see or associate the results of policies with themselves. I am sure there are millions of greenies in the EU who would tell you right now that climate change is the most important thing and if some people must die, so be it. The needs of the many out way the needs of the few. These exact same people would be screaming blue murder if their own power was cut.
    
    I think this links to a general trend to higher incomes and better lifestyles (from capitalism). As people have become better off they increasingly more further left. Their wealth insulates them from the outcomes of their policies. So what if power prices go up 10x if you are a high earner. Sure its inconvenient but its not the end of the world.

    BY our nations inability to generate enough green power at peak times (mornings and evenings) is only compounded by weak transmission infrastructure (old transformers and power poles).

Oh look…

If I exercise with weights I can lower my risk of death

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/lifestyle/2022/09/regularly-exercising-with-weights-linked-to-lower-risk-of-death-study.html

Do the idiots writing this nonsense not realise that Death is a certainty – exercise or not?

If Newshub is going to going to copy other Journalist’s copy, then get the essentials correct:

https://www.theguardian.com/society/2022/sep/27/exercise-with-weights-linked-to-lower-risk-of-early-death-study-says

Regularly exercising with weights is linked to a lower risk of premature death, according to the largest study of its kind.

        BY: Actually the problem in Australia is probably not as much as elsewhere.
        
        In Australia a place that gets to, say 45C is unlikely to go below, say, 5C. Therefore there is around 40C difference between min and max.
        
        In Canada there might be places that never go as high as 30C, but they will go to -40C. That’s 70C of difference.
        
        So the problem is almost twice as much in Canada and they’ve been welding tracks there for decades.

  Studies like this are annoying, as the correlation is not always clear.
  Someone who does weights likely gets cardio benefit, or may even do cardio in addition. And if really bothering to do these things, may have a better than average diet if really seeking to tone or bulk up.
  Because weights in themselves aren’t going to change much; you get stronger, and you might define muscle or gain muscle depending on the type of use.
  
  FYI – tore my calf muscle a few weeks back, and only given green light to return to running this week. I hate running actually but have an event in November that I need to train for. While I was unable to do running/stair runs/jump rope I have focused more on weights/squats/core/press ups etc.
  As of last week, dropped drinking to 1 day a week (touch wood), and looking at sugar and carb intake etc. etc.
  Point being, that ‘do you lift bro?’ {weights} is not really in itself significant, but there are probably all sorts of related behaviors if someone is doing it with a purpose.
  I expect I might even lose a couple kg, although that is not really the aim, and all this should (on paper) track towards a better health outcome.
  In theory.

  Not convinced unless with the help of EU.
  A fish cant fart in the Baltic with under water sonar bouys picking it up.
  Interesting the cause of the explosion should be known by now via ROV remote under water vehicles.
  This will identify either internal or external explosion.
  Im picking internal down the pipe.
  @Clan. Im also picking well outside the ability of any reset partners.
  In my mind. The longer it takes to identify then the more id be leaning towards the EU and co.
  And too be perfectly honest to repair it should take bugger all.
  The question is this a scorched earth policy by EU or deliberate sabotage by Ruskies?
  Im still leaning to the later to spread mistrust within the EU group.

    There was weird US anti-sub helicopter activity in the area in the week leading up to the explosions.
    
    The sabotage could easily be done by 2 people in a very small boat and I think most likely saboteurs are Ukraine – they have most to gain, 70m is divable for a scuba diver who is quick, and not even necessary – 100kg of readily available explosives with magnets for placement and a pre-set timer could simply be lowered on a rope from a small boat perhaps with a camera and light and off the shelf sonar for precise placement.

Parliament Alerts: Bills before Parliament
Published 06 Apr 2022, Updated 28 Sep 2022 – Rotorua District Council (Representation Arrangements) Bill
Attorney General rejected the bill saying “It presented an unjustified disadvantage to non-Māori and moved Rotorua away from proportional representation at its council”.
Rotorua District Council agreed to pause the bill in April 2022
It now at Select Committee – there appears to be no change to the bill – perhaps an effort to sneak it through.

Here we go ….

A box full of genetically modified mosquitos successfully vaccinated a human against malaria in a trial funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH).

“We use the mosquitoes like they’re 1,000 small flying syringes,” said researcher Dr. Sean Murphy, as reported by NPR. Three to five “vaccinations” took place over 30-day intervals.

The mosquitos gave minor versions of malaria that didn’t make people sick, but gave them antibodies. Efficacy from the antibodies lasted a few months. [kk: So, Safe and Effective™ again /s]
:::
Researchers say the genetically modified mosquitos will not be used at large to vaccinate millions of people. The reason why mosquitos were used instead of syringes, they claim, was to save costs. [kk: Riiiiight ….]

Anyone had enough of this eugenic tinkering? I have.

  The article avoids indicating the context of Kelvin’s deflective comments.
  This is, that half a million dollars was diverted from a charity into political coffers, and this ‘charity’ is partnered with the Crown – corruption around the charities finances as I see it, and excusing such behavior a ‘Maori thing’ like he seems to be implying is disgustingly patronising.
  
  I have to wonder if NZ still deserves its low corruption ranking on the international scale, and this sort of behaviour is recently creeping in and seemingly treated as ‘culture’ (rather, it is pure arrogance and cheek by certain Maori who are leading with poor example).

  Interesting development after Kelvin doubled-down yesterday … so bet that didn’t happen voluntarily (despite Kelvin’s weasel words in the article).
  
  More like the Labour Party, knowing their MP’s are getting a (growing) reputation as bullies, forced Kelvin to offer an apology (mind you the article didn’t seem to mention what was said in way of an apology – hopefully it was genuine)?

    The only way you can know that is if you were privy to the conversation between Davis and Chhour; is that what you’re stating? Anything else is speculation.
    
    In the same way the somewhat disingenuous $1uffed writer sprinkled deflections and most unlikely scenarios. For example, he offers first a deflection and – straight after that – told a falsehood.
    
    1. “Davis told Ardern early on Thursday to let her know he would apologise, and that she agreed he should.” So he attempts to establish that Davis had definitely already agreed to apologise anyway, and had even told the PM, who agreed with the decision. How could he possibly know when David had told Ardern, or even if he had? Unless he was privy to the conversation, he could only go by what he was told – which is fair enough. But you have to do one of two things – seek evidence that the call happened, and at what time, or simply write: “I was advised by the Prime Minister’s office that the call was made early on Thursday morning, but have not sighted any evidence to prove that or otherwise.
    
    2. “A few minutes before Davis called Chhour, ACT deputy leader Brooke van Velden wrote to the prime minister’s office, asking for an apology to Chhour. Davis was not aware of the letter when he called.”
    
    How could a journalist possibly know what Kelvin Davis knew or didn’t know, or became aware of or did not become aware of? Kelvin can barely keep track himself, bless him. The journalist could only legitimately say that “he had been told that Davis was unaware of it, and you are seeking evidence that would show that, such as when the PM’s office received van Velden’s message and when Davis last spoke to the PM. All this is discoverable, of course.
    
    The writer also implies something was posted or couriered or received in some hard copy form – the article references a “letter” but even if it was on letterhead it would have either been delivered by hand, or (much more likely) e-mailed, possibly in .pdf form, already printed, as an attachment.
    
    The article is otherwise mostly well-balanced and good reading. A shame the true colours slipped out – unless my favourite Hanlon’s Razor is in play.

What happened for Goff for him to not to get Washington posting ?
It is normal that the host Country get to formally approve and agree to such postings.
Now a professional from London has the Washington appointment, despite it being familair that Goff was to get it, may we assume that Goff will get approval from the UK to that HC posting ?
Or is something else at play ?

  He spoke negatively about Three Waters – that would do it.

  Perhaps someone in the US remembered the ‘Gone By Lunchtime’ affair, when Goff sent a junior staffer to spy on some visiting US diplomats.

Now that the main presenter of state radio midday news Mani Dunlop is about to marry Kiri Allan, a minister in Arden’s cabinet, can we expect full disclosure and impartiality, not to mention free and frank reporting?
And who will judge?

  We’ve had years of Dunlop dismissing Act and National and treating Labour/Greens as the second coming.
  Now we know why.

  I think you’ll find there have been a number of similar relationships plus media personnel spending time as MPs, usually for only a short time as either it’s harder than they thought or the voters found out they were all talk.

So the much-touted new electric ferry has run out of battery power in the middle of Wellington Harbour.
Oh dear, how sad, never mind.

    It’s a joke, if you’re talking about the chandler plane. Range is 240km, and of course, it will be a lot less allowing for weather and landing windows.
    
    You could drive somewhere faster.

      You just can’t escape the laws of thermodynamics.
      
      Look at the engines on the new Boeing 777-9. The fans are 3.4 metres in diameter. Each engine weighs more than 9 tons.
      
      Try replacing that energy with a battery.

    Eviation Alice with 460km range is in flight test (Auckland to Wellington is 490, Wellington to Christchurch is 305km). Quite a lot of regional routes that could be serviced, and operational costs should be lower than inefficient and expensive small turboprops.

Pardon me while I laugh. Wellington’s new electric ferry ran out of battery mid harbour so passengers had to be rescued by police launch and then the ferry towed to safety.

  The Stuff article said that the ferry lost propulsion. That could be due to a number of possible factors such as mechanical. I very much doubt that they ran out of battery power in the middle of a trip.

While you are at it go after the mother for the threats she made against the victims of her son. And also after his sentence deport this family

https://www.stuff.co.nz/bay-of-plenty/300700829/appeal-launched-against-ninemonth-home-d-sentence-for-teen-rapist

The Crown has appealed the nine-month home detention sentence handed to 18-year-old Jayden Meyer, who raped four girls and sexually violated another when they were all 15.

  This is bizarre. The crown was happy for the original sentence, now they appeal it?

Economic mayhem continues in London, with the central bank, the Bank of England, spending 65 billion pounds (about $NZ124 billion) to prop up pension funds.

It bought Government bonds, whose price has been diving, hit by a looming surge in interest rates.

The central bank warned of a “material risk to UK financial stability” as pension funds quit assets. Billions of pounds were wiped off the sharemarket value of big pension funds.

The Telegraph reports Lord Clarke, British Chancellor (Finance Minister) under John Major, told a TV interviewer today (NZ time): “I’ve never known a Budget cause a financial crisis like this, and I think the Government and the Bank of England are still going to have to act to calm it down and get us back to normality.”

Meanwhile in NZ, the Interest-Dot-Co web site raises the possibility of NZ’s Reserve Bank buying Kiwi dollars to prop up our currency against the soaring US dollar.

Then an interviewee shoots down this possibility.

Kiwibank’s chief economist, Jarrod Kerr, is reported:

“It’s a lot easier to sell your currency because you can print as much of it as you like and sell it to get it down. It’s much harder to prop up your currency because you have to use your foreign reserves to do so, and my understanding is we don’t have much in the way of foreign reserves, probably about $10 billion.”

@Jack5… Interesting none of the big banks have commented. Wait until overnight maybe and so leave the minnow to say something.
