Rainbow wrote: On my way to get the jab I heard about the new Jacinda propaganda film "They are us". Good on the Christchurch victims being incensed to belatedly discover that they are being used as a tool for the Jacinda self aggrandisement propaganda. How tasteless can you get!!! Labour's spin doctors must have had a hand in this. They may not have orchestrated it but this flick would never have got off the ground if Jacinda had not nodded her approval. Bad mistake to be blinded by one's overhyped self image. Kiwis are a fair lot and don't like foul play . I too got fooled by her masterful performance after the massacre and her daily Covid show. Turns out we were not alone, the whole world feted her Oscar winning performances. Labour needs us to stay dazzled with their "Toothfairy" so they can slip their toxic racial agenda under the public radar. Cheers Rainbow

The families are still grieving that horror and only time will go anyway to healing the loss. But I guess the woke agenda won’t let it well be. |

Nah think they are just incensed about a film being made, like all the other NZ bad happening films... Pretty much a knee jerk reaction in a time of way over sensitivity and PC BS On the other hand having based on her perspective (after some consultation with apparently many of those involved.. I ask how did that come about? the victums not interested.. stone wall it.. Election would be coming up.. Jacinda rather quiet ,initially , then a very 'modest' why me? type media statement... From a politician that majored in communication marketing etc. No doubt she would also have be chatted to ...being most likely the only player to see 'opportunities' would jump at it.. Now if the victims and those against the movie did so and openly discussed the political opportunities the movie would have... hell yeah THEN they have good argument to say they would be exploited.. for political again , not private monetary gain.. Also to note is our other disaster movies, the basis, be victim, police, or by stander etc developed during the making. This one is announced based on the PM.. and the failings... both political. |

It's a pleasure to have so many thought provoking concepts and revelations to consider. I think I'm probably not alone in admitting I have spent most of my short life in relative ignorant of politics etc, but this current climate has made me sit up and listen. I listened last night to a highly leaned mate talk about liquid thorium reactors, oodles of cheap Poulton free per which would enable all plastics to be broken back down in to raw crude, which could them be made back in to any plastics desired. The technology that is already around to do this stuff. But conveniently overlooked by the powers that be, as it is not convenient to give this stuff to us. Power and greed still drive policy. Not pragmatism and sensibility. The sheer stupidity of thinking that wind and solar are the answer to our energy needs. It seems the it's spent talking crap and pondering, while out fishing have not been wasted on you guys. Keep it up. The challenge to myself and to others is, when good people do nothing and stay silent, evil and stupidity will prevail |
