Egostroking designs by John Key. He's planning to change the NZ Flag soon. It'll be New Zealand's new TPPA Corporation Logo by the way - we have to disestablish the old company before we sign in with the new TPPA trading group along with new company policies (Trade laws) to abide by - it's just standard business practice. So what other pieces of iconic Kiwiana will he tarnish next. The Price of the Club - send young Kiwis to pay with their lives fighting an undefinable enemy. No doubt JK will end up with blood on his hands so to speak. It doesn't bother him, he won't remember next week anyway. Another great Vinny Eastwood concept. Who really controls these puppets? Another Vinny special.

It's been a while and a lot has happened since September last year both in the news and at home.
I start the year with look at Len Brown and his continuing ramp up of Auckland Rate payments. With the Auckland housing marketing on the boil and house values skyrocketing by an average of about $10,000 per month, Len has a sneaky little plan to make a grab for Home owner money based on the increase in the house value. Of course this is just one big excuse to basically reach into the home owners pocket and take some more cash and from this he can buy his wee central city rail link… which no one wants or needs. The worst things for Aucklanders about this scam is: 1) There's almost no way to avoid it 2) The increase in expense could be up tp 40% depending on where you live 3) The Tax is based on house value and does not take into account that the earnings of the rate payer has not increased. Len Brown and the Council Gravy Train Riders are showing themselves as arrogant once again. Lucky we have people we can support such as Penny Bright who is fighting for transparency in Local Council spending. Good luck for the year. Felloffasofa We have new developments in the War on Syria and its leader Assad. It seems the breakaway "Free-Syria Army" (aka Al Qaeda Rebels) who have been waging a 3 year campaign to topple the Syrian Government have run out of steam... or are they just getting old and the story worn. The West have been sitting back, waiting for the Assad regime to fold but it has not happened yet.
Has it been the West's plan to back the Rebels since they certainly haven't supported Assad? Instead they've consistently demonised Assad in the media... Lybia style. So what will they try now?.... Plan B... drive a newly created "Terror" force onto Syrian territory then launch air-strikes on Syrian infrastructure which they can easily claim is held by the Islamic State Terrorists and these actions will help Assad. So let me get this straight, we are helping get rid of these supposedly dug-in enemies by bombing the people we are now trying to help? Never mind that the very act of waging war in another Sovereign State without the invitation for military aid by that State or with the agreement of the UN Security Council to engage in obvious "Self-defence" is ILLEGAL. When international law gets in the way of your own agenda, war crimes don't matter especially when it's not happening in your country. This Syrian steak is smelling awfully fishy! Felloffasofa The irony. The National Party have been caught up in a copyright lawsuit over using the opening chords of an Eminem song on probably what is the main National 2014 election TV Commercial. You know, the one with a bunch of young, fit athletes in a canoe powering down the "8 Mile" creek to an unknown destination.
A "picture" of stable, decisive government in action right? But hang on! Let's get a little more realistic about the stability of the current government. What we need to remember is there are actual National Party members rowing this boat. Let's announce the team... John Key as the cox barking orders at a sweated out Gerry Brownlee who's experienced in rocking the boat in the Avon, Maurice Williams quits after being caught influencing the race officials, Tony Ryall bails out into retirement, Paula Bennet is busy knocking the heads of the poor fish, Hekia Parata has her oars tangled up in Novopay, Nick "the DOCtator" Smith dropping Big Oil exploration rigs into endangered Dolphin sanctuaries and Bill English as Head of the O.I.O. is busy christening the creek the Yangste. Then to top it all off during the last mile Judith Collins is finally shoved out because at the other end of the boat she has been steering the boat deep into dirty waters with the help of a slimy little Blogger Whale! Powering ahead or floundering in the mud? Maybe there's a picture here? Anyway back to the story - the Nats are pleading innocent and that the song's license as been purchased legitimately. I suppose the artist's representatives are so uncomfortable with being connected artistically to this Political campaign or this Political Group that they feel within their rights to object to the association. So if ever there is an outcome of a court case or if anything comes of the lawsuit and the campaign promo is found to have breached copyright laws then we'd expect a suitable penalty. A substantial fine maybe? Nah, how about we show some consistency and raid their homes with a 70-odd, heavily armed force, seize there business assets, take their personal possessions, put them in holding cells for 2 months, break up their families and serve them with pending extradition orders. It was ok to do this to Kim Dotcom - a New Zealand Resident by using an admittedly and illegally obtained warrant. Fair is fair! But let us and the Media focus too much on this - "It's just not the same" the honorable John Shady will lyricise. He would know... Operation Speargun Phase One is complete. Felloffasofa How's this for a great incentive to give your 2014 vote to National. A proposed $500 Million pool of cash put aside and returned to taxpayers! Tax break time - yeah!
Now that looks like a deliciously sweet little carrot jingling in front of us right?... wrong! When you break down the numbers it works out that the average NZ wage earner would receive $1.30 back in their hand a day! Is this supposed to be an election bribe? Pretty feeble attempt if so. Most Kiwi's have already voiced there opinions saying that this small amount would not make a difference to their day to day living and expenses and this money would be better spent where it is needed, on Education, Health. Basically, this offer is an irresponsible way to waste government funds as the recent surplus was only wafer thin and with NZ's overseas debt swiftly closing in on $100 Billion. But there's more - it won't happen until 2017 and even then nothing is promised - if the economy isn't rocking in 3 years then this carrot goes straight in the trash. Nice try National - but we ain't biting. Felloffasofa Having a bit of fun with this one. Vinny is this type of character - no one else comes close in my opinion.
Felloffasofa The Joker (aka Judith Collins) is on the loose!! ... after resigning (pushed) from her ministerial position yesterday. She has had plenty of chances - too many if you ask 63% of New Zealanders - but her luck has finally run out with one revealing email authored by none other than Judith's good friend Cameron Slater at the centre.
After reading the email John Key has kicked her to touch with no promises of returning to a National Cabinet even if they return to power in September. When you're back on your goal line with the opposition on full attack and gaining ground you need to relieve the pressure the safest way... or is this desperation? The reason given for her dismissal is that the email implicates the "Joker" in a possible attempt to undermine the position of the head of NZ's Serious Fraud Office when Judith was his Boss - not a good look for the National campaign at this time. There is a lot more juice to squeeze from this story - like who obtained and delivered the email to John Key's Office and how did they obtain it if not hacked illegally? Why is John Key acting on this unproven and anonymously provided email and not the numerous other damning emails revealed in Nicky Hagar's book "Dirty Politics"? Who is the "Mark" recipient in the email whose last name was blacked? Some in the Media have mentioned that this "Mark" could be tied to the SFO investigation into the now collapsed Hannover Finance Company where thousands of New Zealanders lost huge investments. Also iPredict stock is mentioned at the bottom of the email and on the iPredict website you can create real money trades on political events - which could potentially give rise to insider trading - not just money but could Public Official's positions be traded for cash if you had inside knowledge? Not a whole lot of money is traded usually but some Political Parties use the iPredict numbers when announcing polls. So this too could potentially be manipulated with cash injections. At the end of the day Judith was gone and this story - a lot juicier! Felloffasofa Another Vinny Eastwood Special. Kiss your savings good bye New Zealand... too late - it's spent already.
In the last 8 years National under John Key have increased NZ's National Debt to $80 BILLION.... that's $80,000,000,000. It would take the population of New Zealand (All 5 Million people including the elderly and the young - babies included) earning an average $24 per hour wage, working 40 hours per week / 52 weeks per year / 160 years to pay back this amount of money. That's handing over ALL of their earnings, every cent with no money to live and no holidays. If we used half of the earnings to live on then it would take 320 years to pay back. In other words the NZ people will never pay this debt back with wages alone - the interest alone accrued after 320 years would add another 5 Billion to the total. 320 YEARS!... New Zealand hasn't even existed that long. "Working for New Zealand" are we Mr Key?... your little blue "boat of Charon" is ferrying us toward a financial hell if we don't change things fast and for the better. Felloffasofa In the news since the release of Nicky Hagar's book titled "Dirty Politics" is this alleged "Political Slimer". I always wondered who Cameron Slater was getting his information from - he always seemed to be ahead of the game.
His Daddy was the National Party President who head hunted John Key to join the National Party in the late 90's - now John Key is in charge of the SIS Intelligence and GSCB Spying agencies. It's making sense to me. We'll see if any of Nicky's revelations in the book stick... don't hold your breath. Felloffasofa Hot off the Press - an in no way endorsing advertorial of a certain politician is published during the 2014 Election Campaign season... coincidental? Maybe, but as well as the story inside, Rugby News Magazine has a picture on the cover of an All Black jersey posing and apparent "Pack Leader" - "John Key - #1 All Blacks Supporter". This weekly published Rugby news magazine is full of relevant news and articles to do with our National Sport... or is that now National Support? Did the Editor stop for a second to think that splattering this impostor on the cover wouldn't be viewed as political? The NZ Rugby Union certainly did, as they requested that a small disclaimer be added in the magazine that Mr Key leading the pack wearing an All Blacks jersey was not an endorsement - it was photoshopped. Then soon after the launch of the issue, the Rugby News Editor felt it necessary to justify his reasons/excuses as to why he put the PM on the cover. But he shouldn't be surprised about all the adverse reactions to the publication - it's all part of the game of political opinions! Disclaimer: My version of the cover definitely isn't an endorsement of Mr Key leading the pack wearing an All Reds Jersey - it was photoshopped too. PS: I tried Blue Jerseys but they sucked!
