More evidence of Seymour's connections to Atlas, so who is really driving this 'reform' in Aotearoa New Zealand?
Something is definitely “A Bit Off” with the state of our mainstream media in AotearoaNZ. Why are they so afraid to call out the #AtlasNetwork that is so clearly involved in our political & social environment? #nzpol #NZME #Aotearoa #NZ
Australia's public broadcaster asks the questions our local media are too afraid to ask.
A very very odd state of affairs - but here we are.

Incredible! This coalition has completely failed our country, I have zero confidence in any of them to make meaningful change - they only have the ability to make things worse... Time for a change!

So well written and explained, where is the evidence for Seymour's claims? Nowhere because it doesn't exist, he makes it all up...
“David Seymour creates a shadowy force controlling our society, when in reality being tangata Tiriti or tangata whenua is a simple recognition of historical fact — not a set of restrictions.” — Brian Tweed.

Wow, some great presidential energy going on AOC!
AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

Another nail in the coffin for America. Perhaps Aotearoa New Zealand could offer to host these international conferences so all people could attend
Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism". Computer confiscated

A great interview, wishing we had more politicians of Mike Martin's calibre in Aotearoa New Zealand. Plain talking on how to cope with Trump, the far right, International Relations and tax.

Time for Kiwi’s to Make a Stand and Try Something New.

Kiwis have to get their house in order fast! The rapid pace of geopolitical events is making previously held assumptions of Aotearoa New Zealand’s security, completely invalid.

All this military spending is at the cost of both the middle and working class, destroying our society. Van Jackson explains:

National Security is Stealing from You To Fund A War Against You
Militarism benefits reactionaries. Doesn’t matter whether you code it as primacy, imperialism, Monroe Doctrine 2.0, or great-power competition. It’s why most people under 40 will never own a home.
