Terrorist plot at Auckland’s Sylvia Park exposed - by frog
Here’s the live footage: On a less paranoid note, Green MP Keith Locke today called for an independent inquiry into the ongoing debacle arising from the Police decision to invoke the Terrorism Suppression Act and engage in an over-the-top paramilitary action which caused great offence and distress to Tuhoe, and years of anxiety and hardship [...] read moreSeptember 7, 2011 5:50 pm - 8 Comments -
Latest terrorist designations undermine New Zealand’s role as a peacemaker - by Keith Locke
One of my aims, as a Green MP, has been to get New Zealand to specialise in international peacemaking, using Norway as a model. Norway has used its good offices, and specialist advisers, to sponsor peace talks in Sri Lanka, Sudan, the Middle East, and the Philippines. It has been able to play this mediating [...] read moreOctober 13, 2010 1:09 pm - 29 Comments -
PM silent on support for state terrorism in NZ - by frog
Godfrey Bloom is a Member of the European Parliament. He is also a prominent climate change denier. Here he is condoning an act of state terrorism in New Zealand. And our Prime Minister has nothing to say. read moreFebruary 8, 2010 8:36 am - 28 Comments -
Exposed - by frog
Trevor Loudon, New Zealand’s self proclaimed exposer of communist revolutionaries, has finally found a forum even less credible than his own blog in which to reveal the Green Party’s close links to Maori, Maoist, anarchist terrorism. Ian Wishart has given him 13 pages of investigate Magazine to warn the good people of New Zealand that [...] read moreJuly 21, 2008 12:00 pm - 39 Comments -
Server in the Sky - by frog
The FBI in the United States is one of those few acronyms that doesn’t really need explaining, thanks to a sufficiency of US crime dramas provided to us for our entertainment. And if you’ve watched enough of those dramas you’ll also know that apart from sunglasses and dark suits there is nothing the FBI likes [...] read moreJanuary 17, 2008 8:51 am - 24 Comments -
Would John Key send troops to Iran? - by frog
President Bush is at it again, beating the war drums. This time the boogey-man is Iran, and in his speech today he said Iran threatened the security of all nations and should be confronted “before it’s too late”. It’s an interesting dilemma. First, no-one would like to see more countries get a hold of nuclear weapons. [...] read moreJanuary 14, 2008 5:10 pm - 62 Comments -
Key escapes - by frog
From the Herald: ‘Ironically, in August Mr Key visited the Urewera and met prominent activist Tame Iti – one of the 16 people arrested during the October raids.’ I wonder if John Key is wondering who was on security detail that day and how deep does this conspiracy go?! read moreNovember 15, 2007 7:31 pm - 7 Comments -
Green Councillor terrorises Palmerston North City Council - by frog
Former Green Party staffer and recently elected Palmerston North City Councillor, Chris Teo-Sherrell, has been labelled a terrorist by the Manawatu Standard after refusing to stand up for the national anthem during his inaugural council meeting, and then arguing that council money would be better spent on social programmes than councillor salaries or a car [...] read moreNovember 8, 2007 9:23 am - 39 Comments
