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.

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

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.
