Waihopai is a Secret U.S. Spy Base in New Zealand Designed for War-fighting

The news that the Waihopai spy base was going to be built led to the birth of the Anti-Bases Campaign (ABC) in 1987. ABC has campaigned for the closure of Waihopai ever since (our most recent protest there was in 2023).

The United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has said that big polluters have a clear responsibility to cut emissions – or risk a worldwide catastrophe.

“The Pacific is today the most vulnerable area of the world,” he told the BBC at the Pacific Island Forum Leaders Meeting in Tonga. “There is an enormous injustice in relation to the Pacific and it’s the reason I am here.”

Macron refuses to name govt led by left-wing bloc, calls for new talks to end political deadlock
French President Emmanuel Macron said on Monday he would not name a government led by the left-wing New Popular Front coalition despite the alliance winning the largest number of seats in the July legislative elections. Macron, whose centrist bloc came second in the snap elections, held rare talks with the leaders of the far-right National Rally party Monday, who said they would immediately call a no-confidence vote against any leftist prime minister to prevent them from forming government.

AS WE KNOW HISTORY IS EASILY PREY TO REVISIONISTIC CABALS.

Donald or Kamala, the AMERICAN EMPIRE domestic agenda is fuelled by two premises: EXTERNAL FOREVER WARS (even by proxy) and a HUGE non-serviceable DEFICIT. I say "non-serviceable" because the only way AMERICA can pay back the interest on the GOVERNMENT "borrowings" is by printing more DEFICIT cash.

The only difference between the DEMOCRATS and the REPUBLICANS is that BOTH are rabid CAPITALIST. The DEMOCRATS are using FAKE "socialism" and moralistic delusions accompanied by a shameful indulgent NEED to use CAPITALISM (ballooning deficit) with JOYOUS regret — while the REPUBLICANS tell you that "GREED IS GOOD" and will make you HAPPY.......

According to GUS's rapporter, during the interview of David Baddiel by Simon Longstaff — at the "Sydney Festival of Dangerous Idea"  — Simon asked about the "Ukrainians under the bombs praying to God...". Simon did not mention where the bombs came from. David did not bite and went on merrily making jokes about his Rabbi being an atheist. As well, he said, every "believers" as such is a God-Chosen People, a concept which is thus not exclusive to the JEWS...

'Only Hearing One Side of The Story': US Cracks Down on Its Own Journalist Due to Fear of Russia 

The US government’s investigation will present some challenges, because targeting Americans who work with news organizations, even those which are state run could clash with the US First Amendment’s protection of rights to free speech, the newspaper admitted.

Comedian David Baddiel has defended giving airtime to a Holocaust denier for his BBC Two documentary about the phenomenon, despite a senior Jewish lawyer criticising him for doing so.

For ‘Confronting Holocaust Denial’ Baddiel spoke to Dermot Mulqueen, who argues that there were swimming pools rather than gas chambers at Auschwitz, that Jews control the BBC, and that Jews buying German cars show that there was no Holocaust.

US tech mogul Elon Musk has called for the release of Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov, who was arrested on Saturday shortly after arriving at Paris-Le Bourget airport.

Authorities in France believe that the 39-year-old dual Russian-French national is complicit in a range of crimes allegedly committed on his platform, arguing that insufficient moderation allows for Telegram to be widely used to break the law.

Musk took to his own platform to post a video of Durov talking to American conservative journalist Tucker Carlson about freedom of speech online and claiming that he was happy about the fact that Elon Musk had purchased Twitter. The entrepreneur coupled the video with the hashtag ‘#FreePavel’.

Six weeks after his visit to Moscow, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip to Kyiv and meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday (August 23, 2024) was largely seen as an exercise in balancing India’s position on the Russia-Ukraine war.

The West is looking to shut down criticism of its foreign policy in Ukraine and Gaza, according to one former CIA analyst.

Opposition to the Telegram encrypted messaging platform is driven by the West’s desire to surveil online activity and suppress criticism of its foreign policy, according to ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson.

The analyst made the claim during an interview with Sputnik after news broke that Telegram founder Pavel Durov had been arrested by French authorities after his private jet landed at an airport outside Paris.

“I think the charges are all implausible, false,” said the co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. “They're charging him reportedly with terrorism. And with fraud. So this clearly smacks of a trumped up political case.”

On August 17, in dozens of cities across the world, people’s movements, left parties and trade unions, participated in an international day of action in solidarity with Venezuela, facing right-wing coup attempts and attacks on its electoral process following the victory of sitting president Nicolás Maduro.

Ordinary New Zealanders and Australians have little idea about the momentous changes coming our way. For a couple of centuries we have been outposts of a Western empire that is losing its dominance of the region.

Instead of having open national discussions about how our countries should respond to the rise of China, India and Indonesia – just part of the coming Asian Century – our leaders are shuttering our minds and framing public discourse in ways that hinder rather than help.
