TERRORIST THREAT...

[commonfreak]

So, as it happens the NZ Police are getting new beefed up counter-terrorism powers, and, please don't let your eyebrows fly off your head in shock at this, are already throwing their weight around.

Having gotten bored of watching chicken fucking porn and sexually assaulting people during the 1980s, they've now turned their attention to manufacturing

it's all pretty ridiculous eh. ruatoki is only 15km or so up the valley from where i live, and i don't feel the slightest bit threatened. it's obvious they're trying way too hard to convince people that this is serious but wheres the actual footage of the confiscated weaponry and so on? that "training camp" didn't have a firing range or bunkers/barbed wire/caches or any of the things you'd expect. that whakatane councillor who was on campbell live with his "evidence" is a wifebeating ex-fuzz asshole. it's pretty obvious his opinion is mega-biased and worth about as much as jarful of diarrhoea in the first place. even my folks hate that guy

Is that you Sam?

I'm using this as a vehicle for taking the piss out of the authorities. They leave themselves wide open.

Cheers Mel. Have fun at Motorhead. Wish I could have made it. Damn debts. Oh well, at least I can pay them off now.

An excellent read!
These current events are really bothersome indeed.
I hope middle New Zealand wakes up for all of our sakes.

Middle New Zealand is far too accepting of authority and isn't too clued on as to the value of a strong civil society. Noam Chomsky once said of our economic reforms of the 1980s under the fourth Labour government, that he was amazed they were accepted in such a placid fashion, as the same policies elsewhere in the world were met with widespread resistance and often enforced by military regimes.

I suppose they had the feel good anti-nuclear legislation to use as a smokescreen as they unleashed Douglas, Prebble and co upon us.

Still, it strikes me as quite bizarre. We all that Springbok shit go down in '81, and won something of a people's victory, then handed it all right back over to the Rogernomes.

Thinking about the episodes of unrest during the last hundred years, there were the dockworkers strikes of 1912 and 1952, then there was the Tour in '81. So the shit seems to hit the fan about every thirty or forty years.

Which means we're nearly due for another barney in the streets by my reckoning.

yeah that was me dude, and you're right, they certainly do. they think they're sheriff law-unto-themselves types around here anyway. turns out the guy who arrested me here got kicked out of the force for beating up some kid in the cells at the filth facility, and the guy who gave me diversion for it (breach of a liquor ban) is up on charges of assaulting his wife. certainly got some high quality bacon round here.

"serving our communities" my pale hairy arse.

High quality bacon indeed.

Needs a good smoke curing.

PS: That gas bill should be in the black now. We should see to getting it transferred to Jase in the next couple of days.
