28 per cent of all wealth created in New Zealand in 2017 went to the richest 1 per cent of Kiwis. While the 1.4 million people who make up the poorest 30 per cent of the population got barely 1 per cent, according to research released by Oxfam

oxfam.org.nz/news/richest-1…
The research also reveals that 90 per cent of New Zealand owns less than half the nations wealth.

When extremely wealthy multinationals are encouraged to come to NZ - but only employ people they bring in, or those of their ethnicity, and export their profit, what benefit is that
Two NZ men owned more wealth than the poorest 30 per cent of the adult NZ population in 2017

Graeme Hart, NZ’s richest man, has increased his fortune by US$3.1 billion in 2017 to US$9.5 billion (up from $US6.4 in 2016).

Hart profits from cost-cutting (incl restructuring)😏

Just had this extract sent to me from Bob Woodward’s - “Fear: Trump in the White House”

It looks like @realDonaldTrump has been taking on neocon propaganga foreign policy - which is fueled by fear-mongering - to the horror of the fear-mongering war hawk establishment.
I was sent a few extracts from Woodward’s book that demonstrate various neocon bureaucrats have not been able to cope w Trump resisting being held to their slide show agenda

Apparently mail was even taken from his inbox for fear Trump would make decisions they didn’t approve of
OMG - Did you know that 96.6% of antibiotics used in the US are made in China (obviously sold at massive mark-up by multinational Big Pharma corps).

The (obviously pro-Big Pharma) globalist establishment want this to continue.

Globalists created China as an economic superpower

Insatiable greed by western multinationals has helped China in its rise to economic superpower status.

Apple is a fine example - a $trillion company, that continually wants to squeeze its customers through outrageously expensive upgrades nytimes.com/2019/01/04/tec…
Apple’s software upgrades have, from it’s very beginning (whether as a witting/unwitting strategy by Apple) regularly made existing Apple apps defunct, resulting in loss of function or being forced into new apps

i.e. There are substantial 👉🏼add on costs👈🏼 of using Apple products
Apple’s status as luxury item “must have” along w other multinationals are likely to suffer a fall in profit - as globalist profiteers (including themselves) choose robots over people

Anarcho-capitalist globalism is fundamentally a form destructive, (ultimately self) cannibalism

Kiwi Andrew Pearse is one of three ex-Credit Suisse bankers charged over US$2b loan fraud.

This is an incredible story about how loans to poor countries are abused, and bribes and kickbacks paid.

This is unlikely a “one of”
What about Foundations etc

stuff.co.nz/business/world…
Well done @NZStuff for publishing some of back story on this scandal.

This is unlikely an isolated event.
$billions in loans to poor countries are being exploited by fraudsters and corrupt officials 👉🏼protected by secrecy.

What about military funding?

stuff.co.nz/business/world…
What percentage of “donations” to entities like the Clinton Foundation or charity NGOs ever actually go to help people in need (vs create profiteering opportunities for cronies, and/or fund their non-charity bureaucracy, flash travel and/or political interests etc

Remember Haiti

Shoving Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals Right Back in the Left’s Ugly Face via @KurtSchlichter townhall.com/columnists/kur…
The Left is getting massively out-Alinskyed, and the hilarious thing is that this band of withered hippies, unemployable millennial safe-space cases, and unlovable + unshaven libfeminists don’t even know it.
Oh, their masters sure know it. Soros is bitterly having to ramp up his infusions of blood money to keep his community-organized “grassroots” movements afloat.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

It is easy to imagine an evolutionary reason why saturated fat increases LDL levels and causes increased cardiovascular disease. Saturated fat is a marker of large game consumption and thus infection risk. 1/n
If LDL particles protect the vascular system against microbial invasion, then one would expect that a species that consumes a lot of animal products to be sensitive to saturated fat and other markers of animal product consumption--and produce a strong lipoprotein response. 2/n
And this is exactly what humans do.

We would also expect such a species to downregulate lipoprotein concentrations in the blood when risk of invasion has gone away. This is because having highly inflammatory molecules patrolling the blood stream itself will cause disease. 3/n

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

1/n
community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n
this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...
