  • Legal Beagle: Urewerrors,

    This was simply the madness of Howard Broad, & the ever growing ego of Tama Iti.

    Howie had to use it (Terrorism Suppression Act) or lose it. That he's a fantasist (see Satanic Christchurch Creche) was an unfortunate coincident.

    Looking back on the video that made it to light.
    It was all about close protection for Tama Iti. This wasn't an offensive excercise but an ego driven defensive one.

    As to the legal status of militia - there are a few around

    You can see why Simon Powers left politics.

  • Hard News: #JohnDotBanks and all,

    All this would not have been an issue had Banks said Dotty gave me $50K and the Satan gave me $15K.
    Do you think he could stay in the same room his Dad did in Mt Eden?

  • Hard News: Doug the Goth,

    Nothing was more Goth than the Park Royal/Crowne Plaza after 22 Feb 2011.
    We came back to be haunted by the ragged curtains blowing out of the windows facing down Victoria St and then the pigeons flying in.
    I had visions of Meatloaf living off raw Pigeons.
    I was wrong of course, it was the homeless and Demo workers drinking the bars dry prior to demolition.

    Thanks RoO & JW,
    Oh the psychology!
    I hadn't thought of that.
    It was 24 April 197? and he was drunk, reading his and his brothers diaries, tears flowing as much as the beer.
    That night he also told me of the breakout of Minqar Qaim & he went through the Hospitsal lines, bayonet fixed.

    Anyone know when our WWII executed will become public knowledge?
    I grew up with Granddads story of being in the firing squad for a member of his section for rape in Italy. No wooden bullets and no-one missed.

  • Capture: EQNZ Remembrance, in reply to Hebe,

    Dear Hebe, I was blunt.
    Your view is valid and common among many. I'm feeling like I'm a bit player in a story by Gogol. Life goes on and all things exist, but its the environment that oppresses the spirit.
    I know life goes on out there. Just I miss part of it.

    The Crown Plaza might be fun to watch, but try working there.
    We get the thudding vibrations and jolts up the spine that make concerntration, a little hard.
    I dread going to work, not for the job but the environment. I'm calling the Central Bulldozer District, Mordor these days.
    Will be leaving town soonish.

  • Hard News: War, now and then,

    ANZAC day for me is about 5am Coffee Royal (Coffee and Rum) and getting out of the RSA before 6pm or the first fight starts, which ever comes first.
    The most interesting thing happened about 10 years ago. A couple of young women walked with a quilted banner protesting the death and rape of the innocent.
    They got the courage up at the end of the service in the square and so were seen by only a few.
    Valid point that missed the mark was my impression.
    Not quite "God Hates Fags" protesting at the funerals of young service personal, but not quite on the mark either.
    I like the idea of the White Poppy, although I've never seen one.
    It has a passive dignity, clear in its meaning & without confrontation.

  • Field Theory: Fight Club, in reply to Ian Dalziel,

    The key to the great hate of oneway is that they effectively bypass whatever they go through. Where as a normal two way street has a cross pollination and assists in the creation of a neighbourhood.
    Two way streets will also slow your journey across town, which is considered desirable to planners and Urban Gurus, cause if you really need to get across town there is the local public transport.
    Bicycle is still the most agile (both terrain and route) and quickest way for me to get to work.
