Investing in NZ !? You must be kidding. Although, many Chinese investing in prop, or were… until they were whacked with the brightline test. Are the Nats going to reduce it to two yrs or will they simply cancel, like they seem to be doing with most of their election promises. Interesting how their relationship with China will pan out going forward. WEF still running NZ, by the look of it?
From John Day: Bulldozing of Texas farms. #156489
Guessing the Swiss farmers may be the next in line.
From Europe, Mail Online reports ‘Swiss biggest political party demands withdrawal from Council of Europe after “scandalous” ECHR ruling that will force the country to implement climate change policies. Far right SVP slammed verdict as a ‘brazan interference’ in Swiss affairs.’
Greta was, of course in attendance at the ruling. Brits figuring they’ll be next..Louisiana. Reckon there may be quite a few folks wishing they could move to Louisiana. People are enquiring as to whether they can join the queue at the southern border…
Very good aspnaz. (Clearly you weren’t too inconvenienced by the earthquake!)
We’re going to buy a thermometer. Yesterday, weather reports for central Europe were predicting highs of 28 degs. It was a pleasant, warm day, but no way was it that hot. So you wonder that the figures are being cooked somewhat. (The follow up headlines in the MSM will be calling on everyone to ‘check on their elderly neighbours’ in case they’re incapacitated by the April heatwave..)
A question to the experienced engineers who comment here.
How easy is it for ‘experts’ to compromise a levee without being detected??“PCR keeps thinking he knows better than Putin.”
Paul Craig Roberts can only understand things from within his own limited knowledge of warfare, and is not qualified to speak with authority on these matters. If he read more of Andrej Martinov and others about Russian military doctrine he might learn something. He expects everyone to fight wars in the way that America fights them. An example of someone who has become entrenched in his beliefs and way of thinking and seems to refuse to open his mind to other points of view.

The NZ Herald, (MSM), has condescended (no doubt due to plummeting ad revenues) to print a full page advert, placed at undoubtedly great cost by Voices for Freedom, – inviting those with vaccine injuries to come forward with their stories.
This guy stuck it to a pharmacy window, where covid vaccines are still offered to the unsuspecting public. Please, please wake up, guys!
Interesting from RT this Easter Monday:
‘Central state leader invited to BRICs summit. Vucic has said he could attend the group’s gathering planned for Russia in October.’
Ursula may have to try a little harder with her attempts to bring Serbia into the fold.RIM: Amazing paintings for Easter. And thanks Dr D for your commentaries.

The most potent voice in UK politics.
If the Reform party continues to make good ground, and Nigel really throws his weight behind it, things could get interesting in the run up to the UK elections.
What Brit in their right mind would want the UK back in the EU, under the dictatorship of Ursula and co?! Because sooner or later, that’s what will happen if the Blairites go back in.Kate
The Kate situation has certainly provided a major diversion for followers of MSM across the world. Note the following headline this morning in the Daily Mail:
China, Russia and Iran ‘are fuelling wild conspiracy theories and disinformation about Kate to destabilise Britain’
The more we question things, the more everything would appear to be fake…

The most maligned person in the world has just got 88% of the vote, with a turnout of 74%. Congrats President Putin, and ‘bonne continuation!’
Greetings from the Haut-Rhin!
Our noble president Macron is ready to take the baton from the Americans and fly to the aid of the poor Ukies. He will don his little Napoléon hat and fight the pesky Russians with baguettes – single handed if needed! While signing lucrative defence deals with Armenia and Moldova. His problem, is that he needs Scholz to pay for everything 🙂
More Nuland.
We could suggest that Nuland may not have left on a sour note.
Maybe most objectives of the deep state were fully achieved with remarkable success, and maybe military defeat of Russia wasn’t necessarily one of their goals.
They managed to sever a growing partnership with Russia and Germany.
They have set Germany and the rest of Europe on a path to bankruptcy through deindustrialisation. In the process they hope to scoop up many of the best industrial assets of Germany, while imposing an impunitive LNG ‘energy’ solution.
Europe is suffering from sanctions, while Russia is mired in an endless war.
Thousands of Russians (including those from Ukraine) have died or been maimed.
The destruction of Ukraine has been achieved, with expensive reconstruction and rehabilitation facing Russia, if it decides to rebuild a wasteland with a greatly diminished and resentful population.
The prospect of a wider European war with Russia would be the icing on the cake for the hegemon and it’s rapacious masters.
Where they have not succeeded is in uniting the world behind them. A split has occurred between the hegemon and its vassals, and the rest of the world. They continue to try to split the resistance and bring the global south back into line. They won’t.Nuland
Putin must be feeling some satisfaction in having outplayed this longtime adversary, notwithstanding the death and destruction she has overseen throughout the years.
Now for Ursula, riding high on power, the next warmonger that needs to go.
Putin said “the desire for independence and protection of one’s sovereignty still breaks through to the surface. This is inevitable for the whole of Europe.” He’s looking primarily at you, Germany.Dr D

RIM “Circulatory requirements re EU vehicles”
Our French registered vehicle from the year 2000 has travelled less than 140,000km and is in excellent condition. Most vehicles require repairs from time to time, even new ones. Another evidence of the cruel face of tyranny. Just as well cash is not yet banned. No wonder the black market is flourishing. Haha.A word of hope from Irishman Ivor Cummins. The Irish Supreme Court may be in a position to derail the WHO pandemic treaty, as the population becomes increasingly restive. Here’s hoping Europeans get out again and protest against the coming tyranny, as they did when they stood up against the vax passports in 2021.

aspnaz. #152793 Musk/Electric cars
Well yeah, we agree with what you say.
But whatever is ‘wrong’ with Musk, should we not acknowledge his great achievement, which has been removing much of the censorship from twitter?RIM Relieved to see you’re not up there on Z’s wheel of miscreants
Boris Johnson.
Noting the rumblings from within the UK Tory party to Bring Back Boris, with the party facing a big defeat in the coming election. One is even tempted to imagine that he may have been removed solely in order to bring him back like a bolt out of the blue and stun people with his massive humour, charm and BS into voting for him again. Would Starmer stand much of a chance? Maybe not. So watch out Tony Blair, who lurketh like a dangerous warlock in the wings, waiting to unleash his full-on digital globalist agenda on millions of ignorant Brits. Does Blair play Obama’s role in the UK, conducting and promulgating his obsene WEF agenda from the sidelines. Boris, notwithstanding his outraged attack on the Carlson/Putin interview, has recently endorsed Trump for president. – But, not to get too carried away. Interesting year ahead.
DBS
OK, so if he’s CIA, and in there talking to the arch ‘criminal’ Putin, does it tell us the CIA is heading in a different direction to the MIC who is only interested in prolonging the death and destruction? Is there anything to get excited about here?
BTW, we appreciated your analysis yest.WES and Thomas Kenny
Thanks for the good advice re precious metals storage. WES, don’t lose too many of those comments, we always like to read them 😉
#152061
WES: re gold storage
All good points, but surely it’s risky to hold a moderate amount of precious metal ‘in your hand’. How do you feel about professional vaulting services in a place like Switzerland?aspnaz:
‘Russians have the measure of the USA, the woke dopes of the Western world’.
But they don’t lack ingenuity when it comes to smacking the Russians hard below the belt any which way. It must aggravate the sh*t out of them when the Russians, in anti-woke fashion, begin their ‘Year of the Family’: a small flame, representing the family hearth, is passed throughout the nation.
Here’s the link with video from Simplicius:
John Day, DBS, Orob.
Re King Charles. I wonder if we’re hearing the full story on Kate, the Princess of Wales. A fit woman seemingly a ball of health, suddenly admitted for major abdominal surgery with a 14 day hospital stay. Back in the roll out days, she pulled a publicity stint being jabbed with the clotshot, with the world’s press in attendance, inspiring young women and kids in the UK to follow suit. Maybe she also got the real thing. They say her illness is not cancerous, but would you believe them?Homer: Mending the nets.
Love this painting. They seem content in their daily toil beside the sea.
” … evokes a time of purposeful people.”But who can mend a broken world?
West’s anti-Russian policy now ‘at its peak.’
Is he sure about that? The West’s “owners” demonstrate a ruthlessness, barbarism, greed and desperation that know no bounds, or so it seems. But Putin surrounds himself with a great team, and needs to. What a leader Yeltsin chose to guide his failing nation. The trajectory for Russia is firmly set, and in the opposite direction to the West with its corruption and hypocrisy. It would appear the West is incapable of producing such leadership material. But hey! Go Trump! Make America great again! – with Vivek by your side. Good luck old chap.
As for Trudeau, pack him off to Harvard with Ardern 😉 and make sure he’s provided with a big pair of blue glasses…
While on the sidelines, the bread and circus entertainment dished up by the MSM rolls on, and the sheeple breathe a collective ‘Oh my God!’ as the US experiments with novel, grotesque ways to kill people.
‘Ignorance, the root and stem of all evil.’ Here we have this quote again. For the most part, greed is the driver and motivating impulse.
German establishment:
What if the AfD leadership teamed up with the firebrand Wagenknecht, found the common ground, and made it their business to squeeze Scholz and co right out onto the sidelines. Show us what two brilliant women and their teams can do when they work together for the good of their country, and (greater) Europe. There may be more than Orban and Fico watching, and waiting…Vivek: Well positioned, and happily so! as Trump’s right hand man.
From yesterday: The Queen of the Netherlands. A pathetic soul spouting her lines at Davos. – Digital health passes engendering poison for everyone, after knowing that her own subjects had firmly rejected the idea. How low these people stoop to keep their riches, their palaces, their tiaras and luxe lifestyles. What a hypocrit. Is there no shame, no conscience?
PCR doesn’t mince his words, and makes his points crystal clear to those of us trying to follow American politics from afar! So if PCR is correct, and Trump will not be permitted to run, will that pave the way for Vivek to gain the nomination, coming in with a late run and plenty of money behind him? – a breath of fresh air, a young vibrant prez for the young voters, charismatic, (à la Melone, Macron, Adern), well-groomed for the role, and one to drag in the women’s vote 🙂 but…malleable.
V Arnold. Yes you did a good thing! Maybe you understand why we half-heartedly ponder moving to Russia. But, how bad does it have to get? We’re not there yet. I wonder that at some stage principle may come into it.
Why are not more people out protesting against the genocide? I suggest many only have a vague idea that it’s even happening. Checking through the freebie Daily Mail last night for the latest crap being fed into peoples’ minds, I noted not one mention of the Gaza situation. TAE, as well as the likes ofJohn Day’s line-up above, needs to be compulsory reading for soft Westerners who want for little and watch the evening news in the comfort of their warm homes. So who controls what journalists are told to write? There lies profound wickedness!Thanks Raul.
‘Should we move to Russia?’
We’ve been thinking about this for some time now. If anyone has any thoughts, tips or advice on the matter, we would like to hear it. Definitely not brainwashed against Russia, or the leadership we’ve followed closely for the past 23 odd years.John Day, we read your post re the Obama family with foreboding. The thought of Obama, – any Obama in the White House for another eight years is not one to cherish. Nor is the idea of the Labour Party with Blair in the background taking power in the UK. The EU governance is unbelievable. It all makes us continue to look upon Putin (and co) with keen interest.
Thanks for that analysis
Which all leads us to then wonder if the Europeans will ever see sense? (Schultz has just agreed to send another 25 Leopards to Ukraine, which in the circumstances beggars belief.) But now there are two EU States, (Hungary and Slovakia) who are unwilling to support the Ukraine war against Russia. Even Poland has stepped back. Will more crack? We understand a snap election is about to take place in Serbia which could be interesting. The EU is calling for Serbia to join the Bloc, requiring recognition of Kosovo and sanctioning of Russia. Bosnian-Serb leader Dodik “suggested countries of the former Yugoslavia ought to join BRICS instead.” Such a development would surely set the cat among the pigeons…New Zealand crime scene
We lived through the vaccination ‘genocide’ in NZ. Still difficult to fathom it happened in our home country. Still angry and outraged that a pychopathic woman and her ‘team’ were lead by powerful ‘elites’ to unleash a poisonous media campaign on simple-minded, naive Kiwis, and lead many to their deaths. Some were our friends, neighbours and close relatives. Liz Gunn and others like her are Kiwi heroes, and we admire them and thank them for their tireless work for the good of our Nation. We don’t hold much hope for the newly elected government, lead by a man who purportedly paid a visit to Bill Gates in the midst of the rollout, pushing at the time for more and more injections.
And so the influence of powerful ‘elites’ and their media rampage continues across to run amok with human life across our world. Who knows where it will end.Thanks Raúl for those concise insights, you hit the bullseye again.
But is there an invisible hand that may be guiding that of Netanyahu? Who has gained the most from instability and rancour in the Middle East? Oil is still there beneath the sands.Bill Bonner in fine form:
“Iron walls, ghetto life and who benefits from forever wars..
“According to the Israelis, Hamas fighters are “human animals.” Israel’s ambassador to Germany, Ron Prosar, called them “bloody, thirsty animals.” (English is not his first language.) And here’s Nikki Haley, candidate for the White House:
“This is not just an attack on Israel – this was an attack on America. Finish them, @Netanyahu.”
How the attack by Hamas had anything to do with America has yet to be explained. Then again, the US frequently gets involved in foreign wars. The Great War 1914-1919 was no attack on America…nor did Vietnam or Iraq have any plans to attack America. Nor did Russia. Or China.
But how the hate gets around! Once again, it is the bad guys against the good guys. And if it is unclear to you which is which, you are not watching the news. Or, you are guilty of ‘moral ambivalence’…or treason. You’re expected to choose. Americans, with God whispering in their ears, know which hate crime they prefer. Marco Rubio:
I don’t think there’s any way Israel can be expected to coexist or find some diplomatic offramp with these savages …
You can’t coexist. They have to be eradicated.

“It was 80 years ago that Jews were confined in their own ‘autonomous areas’ (aka ghettos and concentration camps). They often had no hot water in the Warsaw ghetto; people were dirty, underfed. Their Nazi guards (many of whom were “Askaris”…Ukrainians!) said they were “subhuman.”“The Jews of Warsaw fought back against the Germans, but only when it became apparent that the latter intended to exterminate them. They fought for a month…then, they were eradicated.
As for the Palestinians of Gaza, their fate is still undecided. There are many in Israel who say they should be “removed.” Ron Prosar, quoted above, said the policy had gone from “containment to eradication.” Whatever it is, the US war machine will be there to help.”

We’ve enjoyed the Monets lately, particularly when listening to the likes of ‘l’après-midi d’un faun’ and ‘oiseaux tristes’ etc. The river scene today seems appropriate to the first alarming articles in today’s lineup. The dying summer scene with its soft light and first russet colours seems to equate with the sun going down on Europe as we’ve known it, and come to love it over the years. But for now, France is still a beautiful country.
