No virus. No pandemic. If you’re taking flak you’re over the target. Wird keine Käfer essen. Ne mange pas d'insectes. Anti-vax. Anti-violence. Nullius in verba.
One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.
Footage from an Israeli aircraft shows thousands of starving Palestinians running towards an aid truck, before it bombs and kills them all.
A video that the world must never forget.
New Zealand First did not have members on the FTA or U16 Select Committees due to their limited MPs this term.
Their current polling would change this.
A larger NZF caucus means more accountability and fewer Uniparty-only SC meetings on critical, often detrimental legislation.

This interview with Prof Ashley Gearhardt digs into the scientific controversy about whether highly processed foods are truly capable of triggering an addictive response - & the work underway formalising a diagnostic criteria for food addiction.
LaFata & Gearhardt: ‘Addiction epidemics often occur because a novel and potent addictive substance is created, but its addictive potential is undetected or underestimated.’

Great @PSGRNZ interview with myself and @drjenunwin - the illnesses which are increasing in western society - including diabetes and obesity, cannot be dealt with, if there is no recognition of the problem of food addiction, and the consumption of high carbohydrate foods that are commonly consumed in western society, which are frequently associated with food addiction.

MBIEs research focus in NZ prioritising funding for genetics & patentable solutions is fundamentally unsuitable for supporting hort, arable, drystock & dairy amid changing weather patterns. Its completely blind to the need for long term boots on the ground research necessary to support knowledge systems across different but related disciplinary fields - soil, nutrient availability, farmer/grower health & extension services, seasons & microclimates - plus engineering & infrastructure. Its funding streams atomise research, creating barriers to public good, interdisciplinary knowledge.
Recent comments by science advisor John Roche valorising GE dogma suggests that Roche sees this as the future food silver bullet. As science adviser why doesn’t he discuss the importance of long term monitoring & research & funding slashes?
Such important work. A major largely unaddressed barrier to people adopting healthy diets
At @PSGRNZ we’ve interviewed interviewed Ashley Gearhardt & @drjenunwin on this crucial issue.
This is NOT about protecting kids.
Select committee: NZ should be a "fast follower" of the UK model - used to arrest 12000 per year for posts, including posts critical of mass immigration policy.

No two claimed “viral” particles are absolutely identical hence there is no actual gold standard for what a “virus” should look like, just a grouping of morphological features that if satisfied should falsify their physical existence.
JUST IN: IRAN’S GHALIBAF:
"The recent war against Iran marks the beginning of a new era of stronger deterrence
The end of "empty threats" against Iran
The end of direct attacks against Iran, and the realization that any attack on Iran will now result in a wide-scale retaliation"
@VoteSovereign@dellavaris To be clear, "integration" and "assimilation" become euphemisms for forcing one ethnic group's ideas and practices on everyone.
Singapore has the right idea: everybody take a deep breath; tolerance, respect, pragmatism, and don't fight gravity because you will, ultimately, lose.

A new report showing government agencies spend more than $180 million a year responding to Official Information Act (OIA) requests highlights the cost of failing to proactively release information.
Taxpayers’ Union spokesperson, Tyler Groenewald, said:
"The cheapest OIA request is the one that never needs to be made because the information is already available to the public."
"This $180 million bill is the cost of a lack of transparency. Much of the information being requested is clearly able to be made public, yet taxpayers are funding a costly bureaucratic process to release information that often ends up being disclosed anyway."
"Agencies should be proactively publishing reports, data, and other frequently requested information online. Countries such as the UK, United States, Ukraine and Brazil already publish spending and procurement data online, allowing taxpayers to scrutinise government spending without lodging information requests."
"An 'armchair audit' approach, where routine spending data is proactively published through a central transparency portal, would reduce OIA costs, strengthen accountability, and improve public trust."
