NZ Asset Sales Policy Began On Wall Street

One thing not mentioned in this otherwise excellent article is the fact that John Key has most of his paper wealth still in what is easily the most corrupt and hated bank; Bank of America and is as such seriously compromised.

By Lewis Verduyn

The Key government’s asset sales agenda is derived from the Washington Consensus – a set of Wall Street-driven policies that were pronounced dead after the global financial meltdown in 2008.[1] The New Zealand government, however, remains loyal to this failed ideology.

Why? The obvious link is Prime Minister John Key – a former investment banker for Merrill Lynch, the world’s largest brokerage failure.

In most other countries, state asset sales have become a last resort on the road to poverty and ruin, but for the Key government, asset sales are “business as usual.” [2]

So what’s really behind asset sales?
All wealth extraction is facilitated by international and national economic policies, coupled with the private banking system, which together deliver benefits to the financial elite by transferring wealth upward within and between nations.

The state asset sales policy is just one of several reforms under the Washington Consensus, a set of monetary and economic policies designed to allow: the privatization of public resources and utilities, the removal of barriers to foreign investment and ownership, the sale of state assets, trade liberalization, deregulation, the lowering of business taxes, and cuts to public services.[3]

These “free market” reforms are collectively termed neoliberalism.[4] Simply, they provide big business with improved legal access to markets and assets worldwide.

Government plans to make mineral exploration easier

More rape and pillage courtesy of the NWO!

The Government is planning “significant” changes to the Crown Minerals Act next year to make it easier for miners to explore and then extract minerals, and it will consult the public and industry soon.

The Government has indicated for some time that it intends reviewing the act, which sets out the regulatory framework for prospecting and mining, activities it wants to boost under its economic development plan.

“We’re going to make significant changes to the Crown Minerals Act because conversations to date under previous ministers have found that there are opportunities to improve the way that companies can access our minerals, apply for opportunities to explore, that type of thing,” Energy and Resources Minister Phil Heatley told the Herald.

A consultation paper will be released early this year to inform the Government on changes to the act.

Did John Key just promise to give millions of dollars to al Qaeda?

Al Qaeda flag over Benghazi

To most Kiwi’s the NATO attack on Libya was all about freeing the Libyan people and killing the latest Villain du Jour and the rebels we helped put into place were promised millions of NZ dollars to help them rebuild an infrastructure which until the attack had been perfectly fine.

But who are these rebels and why is the al Qaeda flag flown in Benghazi and if we are fighting al Qaeda in Afghanistan than why are we giving aid to the same group in Libya which will return to extreme Sharia law after the death of Gaddafi?

One of the leaders and the commander of the rebel forces is a man called Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi who openly states that he was fighting in Afghanistan killing US troops a a fundamentalist rebel and he is listed as a “member” of Al Qaeda.

With the return of Sharia law, army comanders who were actively fighting Western troops in Afghanistan and a fierce anti US sentiment amongst the Libyan rebels why in the world are we promising to give millions of dollars to these people while NZ soldiers are dying in Afghanistan fighting the same people?

NZ dairy products going down in price as the world economy collapses

We’ve had it good the last two years and I’m sure most kiwi’s thought that with our own hard nosed businessman at the helm we’d be alright but last Friday that impression was corrected with the double down grade both Bankster John Key and Bill double Dipton (or should I say double downgrade) English had not seen coming.

They must be the only ones because silver coins continue to be unavailable at the NZ mint and that is saying something!

Today another clear sign of the disasters to come made it to the newspaper: Global and therefore NZ dairy prices are going down.

And with the Global economy going down the drain thanks to John Key and his bankster mates and millions and millions of people losing their jobs and homes that will only continue to happen. We are in for a world of pain my friends.

In the mean time: the Economic collapse is progressing according to plan.

You would almost forget that while Kiwi’s try to get to Rugby games with badly organised transport and frustration levels rising to unacceptable levels while Bill English’s brother gets choice jobs terrorist accusations get dropped after four years of terror for those accused the global economy continues to slow down and continues to collapse.

Here are some pointers to assess how far the global economic collapse has progressed and where we stand in all of this:

  • The Dutch mister of finance has announced that the Dutch government is preparing for the imminent bankruptcy of Greece.
  • Moody is preparing to down grade the French banks.
  • America is still exporting jobs to China robbing the American population of any chance to work themselves out of poverty.
  • Crime is rising at a shocking pace in the US as poverty forces people into ever more desperate acts in order to put food on the table.

Good things are happening too (If you are part of the military industrial complex that is):

  • You can now find people to shoot with very small infra red seekers.
  • Private prisons are making more profit than ever and that will only continue to rise for the foreseeable future.
  • And Fukushima is continuing to blast radioactivity into the atmosphere and that might increase when the cores reach the water levels.

And what does the Kiwi government announce? Mum and Dad can, in the future, buy Government bonds and you know why: Because professional investors won’t want to touch the blooming things with bargepole come next year when the law goes into effect.

False flag alert: MSM manipulation to prepare Kiwi's for a UK style spate of riots?

The riots are still in full swing in London and already the MSM is scaring the average middle class Kiwi into believing the rioting horses will soon rule the streets of New Zealand. Are we being prepared for unrest and a strong leadership in the pending crisis from John Key?

Here are a few pointers:

  • An academic is quoted as stating that the situation over here is just as bad as over there.
    Anyone who has ever been in England and has seen the slums of London, Manchester and Birmingham Knows that this is utter bullshit. While there is poverty, apathy and anger I’m sure in New Zealand the police brutality, the sheer magnitude of the people living in appalling conditions with absolutely nowhere to go is absolutely incomparable but what is happening here is the fact that “Racist and sexist” Hone Harawira is working together with Pakeha males and females amongst others to organise the poor and disenfranchised and if you believe the international ruling elite will ever allow a bottom up political movement uniting Maori and Pakeha to succeed you can buy the jungle in the Sahara I have for sale!
  • Cris Tremain from National is using the riots in the UK to talk about the National policies as not being as bad as to take to the streets.  The hiatus between the two statements leaving some space for widespread condemnation and fearmongering amongst white middle class Pakeha if there ever were riots anywhere in this country.

 

Of course people riot and of course they loot, Not a nice thing but this is what happens when the system protects the rich and punishes the poor!

But the left, the Anglo-American left? Where and what do our most prominent public intellectuals, including those with booking agents charging five-digit lecture fees, have to say about this world-wide revolt? Nary a word is found in left, center-left magazines, web sites and blogs. During their lucrative lectures, they thunder against the immoralities of war and climate change. They hurl imprecations against rulers and exploiters and their immoralities, and the bellicose interests they represent (with special exemption of the ubiquitous Zionist Power configuration). Yet there is hardly a mention of the purveyors of the global cancer which is literally eating away the bread of everyday life of billions of people. They talk of a ‘peace movement’, (which has disappeared); of one or another dissident electoral candidate; and reminisce over youth revolts 50 years ago. But like the intellectuals who sipped their wine while the revolting masses headed for the Bastille, they are at best irrelevant, unblinking spectators to the greatest turmoil of the new millennium. James Petras

I linked to this article on 21th of August 2008 and much as I hate it this is another “I told you so” moment.

Our left wing intellectuals incorporated by the ruling elite are sipping their cold glass of white wine discussing politics in their “Salons” drinky poo evenings while the hordes are venting their pent up rage after years of bankster bail outs and open elite corruption.

Unless they pull finger this will happen more and more and it will happen here too with more than a quarter of unemployed in that vulnerable “let’s go loot and take what we want because our brain halves haven’t fully grown yet” age.

All it takes is another young man shot by the police for a minor offence and enough young people angry and unemployed to take to the streets and we won’t be needing the terrifying images of mobs looting and burning in the streets. Such is the nature of populist anger as people loose their faith in a system that protects the wealthy and criminalises and targets being poor.

Just so we are clear: Banking scams, Illegal wars of aggression and tax cuts for the rich caused the implosion, not the tea party!!!

“Socialism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.” John Steinbeck

In America the smearing of the “tea party” has begun. The “tea party” is in the true traditions of NAZI propagandisme a moniker given to a wide variety of angry groups of people in order to terrify and manipulate the mainstream US citizen and to prevent these groups to coalesce into one group of angry people directing their anger at those deserving of their wrath.

To most people the “Tea party” as a result of the smear campaign means: Ultra right wing, red neck and dumb and out to destroy the US economy for some strange reason and they also are dumb enough to help the ultra rich keep their tax cuts!!!

I don’t have sympathies for the “tea party” movement as such and you would not find me voting for them but let’s put a few things straight before we accuse a marginal bunch of groups of people of collapsing the entire global economy shall we!

Banking bubbles, collapsing Derivatives and other bankster mayhem!

From Housing bubble to derivatives collapse the financial elite has been riding shotgun over the US and global economy for the last 30 years culminating in the total deregulation of the US banking world to pre “Great” Depression levels resulting in fantasy riches and huge amounts of dollars floating around reducing the value of what was once the strongest reserve currency to less then the paper it’s printed on or as Gerald Celente from Trends research institute says: “It’s not printed on“,  because it’s all just digital numbers not related to anything in the real world, which is why banksters around the world are trying to buy real world stuff such as NZ’s assets for those crappy dollars before they disappear into dollar heaven.

9/11, Illegal wars of aggression and the Pentagon Trillions!

Whether you still believe the Official Conspiracy theory or have moved on to more science based conclusions such as the buildings could not have collapsed in free fall speed as a result of mere carbon fires (and whether you like it or not if you can cook on Kerosene without your stove deforming you have to admit that tonnes of steel are not likely to deform either if a plane hits that building at the top or close to it) , the wars started and sold to the US congress as; we’ll finance them out of the oil revenue generated after we “liberate” the Iraqis and Afghanis are illegal.

It is a war crime to punish a whole people for the crimes of a few and since no criminal investigation took place in the aftermath of the attack but only a committee of people connected to the ruling elite of the US, a year and a half after the events and after the start of the war in Afghanistan, listened to the lies of Norad and the testimonies of a select few, this means that the US and NATO are engaging in war crimes of truly majestic proportions.

And I’m not even beginning to talk about the US invasion in Iraq based on lies and fabrications by most notably Tony Blair!

Not only that; none of these war crimes are financed by the oil revenues from a grateful “liberated” people but are extracted from the European and American population by the Pentagon, US military machine and the military industrial complex!

Tax cuts for the rich and compulsory insurance for all except the big corporations and steady pay cuts for the poor and the middle class due to the export of jobs to the third world.

Lest we forget and make the “Tea party” responsible for the tax cuts for the rich perpetrated on the American poor by the ruling elite by means of the Bush administration. It was after all on the 7 June 2001 that Bush signed his massive $1.3 trillion income tax cut into law. Way before the Tea party even had a name ore even existed!

Another bone of contention is the fact that Obama’s healthcare bill wasn’t so much a redirection of tax dollars to healthcare but a law forcing people who were already skinned to cough up $ 15.000 a year for a compulsory insurance to already discredited privately owned insurance companies excluding previous conditions while most big corporations received wavers excluding them from compulsory healthcare costs because of their election contributions.

Most people in the US are waking up to the fact that unless there are jobs there is no main street economic recovery and they are beginning to notice that jobs are still being exported at alarming rates and while their wages have diminished the richest 1% has gotten richer and richer and they know that raising the the debt ceiling is a scam. They also know who perpetrates the scam. The privately owned Federal Reserve of New York and they want it gone.

They want the right to print money back were it belongs: With the people! Not with a small group of shadowy rich pricks who are out to squeeze as much out of all of us as they can and unless we wake up to this that is exactly what they’ll do!!!

Power point presentations!!!

Some of you may have noticed that I’ve been a bit slow with posting but to be hones I have been thinking about how to move forward.

As a result I am currently working on several power point presentations on several subjects:

  • Derivatives: Financial weapons of mass destruction.
    History and use of Derivatives translated into simple understandable language
  • John Key and Derivatives and how he made his millions
    John Key’s history in banking and how he made his money
  • Recent Wall street banking history and the reasons for the sub prime crisis and the bubble and bust cycles.
    The banking history of Wall street over the last 35 years and how the Wall street banksters set the global economy up to fail.
  • Merrill Lynch, Bank of America PIIGS and John Key.
    Why John Key is still very much a banker and why he has a huge conflict of interest where it concerns the borrowing of the NZ Government.

This means that while I will link to the odd post I consider of importance I will have to spend most of my time writing and editing to get these presentations made.

I hope you will invite me to speak on these subjects when they are finished. With the upcoming election I think it is very important people vote with all of the relevant information available.
