The most transparent Govt ever doing its best to put us offside with our other major trading party. Such is the level of stupid we have become accustomed to over the last two years.
This all boils down to the rather large Republican elephant in the room. Donald has declared, along with Netanyahu, that a luxurious resort for the rich and famous to enjoy, beside the blue Mediterranean, Gaza would be the perfect place to develop, once all those pesky Palestinians have finally been forced to leave their homes and homeland behind and migrate to Egypt, or wherever else they can find peace themselves.
To me, this is the only reason Trump has invented his Board of Peace. It has nothing to do with ceasefires or rebuilding anything, just building new monuments to his greed and power. So far 26 countries have signed up for this.
Great work on Trump’s part. Raised $26 billion which hasn’t cost him anything. It will cost those countries a lot more than they can possibly imagine. He won’t stop until he claims total control over them as satellite US states number 51 to however many he can get.
Perhaps he could have at least been honest, (?????!) and titled his project Bored with Peace.
If Luxo and Co bend to Trump’s
will and join the band, we as a sovereign nation will no longer exist.
From memory uranium was under scrutiny in Australia years ago. Taking it out of Arnhem Land without the First Nations People having a say. I think, that has been rectified. But why are we letting Trump and the USA do this to us? If they get their way we will not have any exports, such as wine, from Otago to sell, as the mining will definitely upset the finely balance ecosystem that gives the grapes its uniqueness. All I can say is thank goodness there was such a hefty price tag to join that peace plan. Even Willis could not come up with a plan for that.
Did people see the latest from AI Moltbook, where only AI agents can talk with each other and humans can only be "observers". "A social network launched last week where AI agents post, comment, debate philosophy, and form communities while humans can only observe. Within seven days, 1.5 million bots signed up. Agents allegedly created their own religion, developed political movements, and engaged in what looked like spontaneous social behavior." Some are not convinced human behavior doesnt influence it. https://www.techloy.com/moltbook-promised-autonomous-ai-agents-users-arent-convinced/ But, that's where our critical minerals are going, along with the development of more weapons for the mighty US to crush those it disagrees with. Shane Jones is a warmonger by association.
I read about Microsoft's negotiations with IBM, about putting dos onto IBM PCs. When Steve Ballmer, who was doing the negotiating, was heading into IBM, his fellow workers would say to him "BOGU, Steve, BOGU"!
That’s probably why Luxo poses with his family at Christmas, in their pyjamas. He’s too afraid to put his pants on! The family apparently has to follow suit,(no suit pants allowed, of course)
🙋 Time for Labour/Greens (& TPM if they have a spokesperson on the subject?) to state loudly & publicly that ANY agreement made before the election is illegitimate because it was not part of any buy-in from the electorate or any consultation with either the public or Parliament, so will NOT be automatically adhered to by a future govt. In the past this has been enough to scare oil drillers etc away because most of these things take time to be implemented & people don't want to throw money away developing plans that will be scuppered - and at this point it is by no means certain WHO will be govt at the end of 2026 🤷
🤔 The media are actually paying a little attention to Labour & the Greens in Waitangi coverage, so they might have a bit of a microphone where they don't normally ⁉️ (but don't get me started on SOME of the media there... 👿)
It seems everything this COG has initiated makes me ‘reach’. Much appreciate your Korero’s with the airing of these subjects. Only hope for me is that the hole they dig can be stopped.
We can hardly have missed the promotion of the world’s largest arch in DC, ostensibly as a symbol of 250 years of American history.
I have a thought or two about this.
First, is this more of a celebration of Trump’s life and career as the greatest President the US has ever had? At 250 feet it would be hard to ignore.
Second, is it the real reason he wants access to all the rare and precious earth he can gather? It would be the only material, once extracted and refined, worthy of such a project.
Third, could it be a homage to his favourite food, which actually has a double arch, but it’s patented so can’t be used, even by POTUS?. This, I understand, is because it’s actually the most important, popular and powerful thing America has ever accomplished and shared so generously with all of us. Yeah, right.

This is excellent.
'The US, EU, UK to meet initially and discuss critical minerals alliance'.
The UK, EU, AND US ?
That spells 'U SUK.
SUK on that Donald.

I've only just seen it Jeremy, love it !
I reminded me of 'Dr Martins, Dr Martins, Dr Matins Boots, Oi'
Alexi Sayles classic.
🤗😁😂 Need to share this - thanks!

Exactly Fiona! By hook or by crook…either way, it’s OK

We are close to Antartica . What might seem ludicrous is within the realm of possibility with these Trump sycophants .
...drop our trousers???????
"Drop your pants" is a phrase used to describe someone who is a poor negotiator and gives things away too cheaply.
I read about Microsoft's negotiations with IBM, about putting dos onto IBM PCs. When Steve Ballmer, who was doing the negotiating, was heading into IBM, his fellow workers would say to him "BOGU, Steve, BOGU"!
And for those that don't know, it means - bend over, grease up...

On the subject of Trump…..

Is it now? And here was I thinking it was a homophonic slur - silly me.
Love that waiata, true sound of Aotearoa
Very good Nick
