There is no political opposition in New Zealand, on either side.
No party is standing against the US invasion of New Zealand (RocketLab/CIA etc), regime change movements, NZ drone killings via Waihopai, mass surveillance, state targeting of citizens, erosion of civil liberties.
No party is standing for privacy nor accountability for military expenditures nor defending Julian Assange & whistleblowers, or advocating neutrality or disarmament or calling out the OPCW sham or the Russiagate scam. No one is pushing to revoke a decade+ of security legislation
As is true nearly everywhere else on Earth - in NZ you cannot vote away the blood on our hands from our war crimes, nor can we vote our way out of the behemoth & corrupt intelligence mafia of (epic proportions) that the NSA calls its "global network"
Instead you can vote for a range of band aids for "issues" all of which are materially affected by a global spy network running our planet & de facto controlling our country but which no party will admit is the case because to do so is to commit organisational suicide.
Why? Because as we know from the 2018 State Services Commission Report, truly dissenting political parties and individuals in New Zealand are targeted for political espionage. This is the true and most significant threat to our democracy. The system is rigged through and through

As many of my followers will be aware, @_taylorhudak has been experiencing cyberstalking and threats by shadowy (cowardly) accounts for several weeks now. These accounts have also targeted me and some of her other friends.
We have the goods on who is likely to be behind it.
"Julian’s warnings of duplicitous men in activism movements are ringing in my ears. Seemingly unrelated events, with the benefit of hindsight, soon can be seen to contain common threads
Even in the silence of his unjust & brutal incarceration, his foresight echoes through years"
These screens (from @gheliason) introduce a whole new angle to #JTRIG style psychology-meets-military targeting of individuals and groups/sub-groups identified by/mined from mass surveillance data
These are from NATO documents (rather than NSA/GCHQ) & open a new avenue of study
The work of @gheliason details how these programs & influence ops are being used to foment regime change in what @caitoz would call "unabsorbed countries" - countries that have not yet been subjugated & assimilated into the 'global network' of Western intelligence agencies.
The obvious parallels between the language used in the NATO docs & that used in the #JTRIG docs from the Snowden files (& others) is worthy of significant study and attention.
Its further indication that JTRIG employs methods of war-making against Western civilians & vice versa
Of the entire Five Eyes nations the only person they managed to get any dirt on is the already-discredited/convicted Paul Manafort
High level financial crime/corruption is rife in England, USA, NZ, Aus & Canada too but crickets 1/
Granted, the files themselves wouldn't have any details on Five Eyes oligarchs or their crimes because Five Eyes oligarchs aren't investigated by Five Eyes financial crime reporting agencies
Doesn't mean the crimes don't exist, just that they're sacrosanct or state-sanctioned 2/
As far as I can tell, #FinCENFiles serves only to discomfort already-investigated economic enemies of the Five Eyes global network
There seems to be very little in the reporting that is conceivably of discomfort to Western intelligence agencies; arguably this serves them 3/
I'm going to transcribe what he said about Julian in a thread below.
Starts from 1:01:26 @
"Julian Assange, right now, today is in court in the UK fighting an extradition trial..."
"...to the United States. For those who don't remember, this is the guy who is the head of @wikileaks. And he really fell out of favour in 2016 because he published the Hillary emails and everything like that, the Podesta emails, but he's not being charged with that..."

"...the extradition trial has nothing to do with that. Actually the US Governement under William Barr, the current Attorney General, is trying to extradite this guy & put him in prison for the rest of his life for the best work that @wikileaks ever did that has won awards.."

As a young woman on the streets of an Auckland few will admit exists or ever speak the realities of, and which I *very* seldom speak of, I was never safe, nor were the women around me. Not safe from the privileged, the underprivileged or the police.
While politics merges with gang mentality and division creates two uniquely toxic and dangerous camps spooning themselves around a petrified and too-silent, barely acknowledged middle, I know only to cling to core principles that create a space where we can still speak at all
2/
In a world where acceptance from either camp requires an immoral complicity with violence and dehumanisation of the 'other', there is little left to place hope or believe in other than the pipe dream of demanding the reinforcement of the most fundamental of human rights
