with very little pushback or attention, NZ's foreign and military policy is rapidly aligning with the new military alliance the US is building against china, one that seeks to gut each country to pour money into the defence industry and use them as cannon fodder for the empire

Here it is!!

With significant work from one of our contributors we're soft-relaunching the 1/200 newsletter this summer

Includes a round-up of links for progressive articles AND what we hope will become a more substantive "gig guide" of upcoming protests, strikes and petitions

Please share!

Wouldn't really need to do this in NZ because almost the entire press pack is already effectively compromised or obeying in advance :)

massive scoop from Nicky Hager: "Secret defence notes pointing to sensitive China preparation left at op shop" ... "Without any announcement, New Zealand is being integrated into a de facto Anglo military alliance that ties the country into a US/UK-led military build up."

Best thing about this fuck-up by the PR cohort is we can now assume Ensor is a prime leak candidate for when National want a willing reporter to run PR & interference for them. Wild to get a glimpse of how NZ media are participants in these back channels

Was it a stunt? Did it get leaked? The strange story behind the 'bipartisan' letter
It was meant to be a plea for bipartisanship for a long-term oil and gas plan, but instead it’s left Chris Hipkins blasting the Prime Minister’s office, calling it a media stunt that flies in the face...

lmao "Kash Patel gave New Zealand officials 3D-printed guns illegal to possess under local laws" ... "A spokesperson for the spy agencies described the gift as "a challenge coin display stand" that included the 3D-printed inoperable weapon "as part of the design"."

certainly interesting to see national MP chris penk following a 6 day old account titled "Reform NZ", which started spewing out zionist propaganda around the time of peters’ speech, and is now shifting to bargain bin great replacement trite
