Oh dear. As Del Boy might say 'What a load of plonkers!'

I have no sympathy for Efeso Collins. According to Wikipedia

"An unsolicited original campaign song, which sampled the 2008 single "Somebody" by Devolo and compared Collins to Barack Obama, was created for Collins by two former members of a church youth group he had previously led."

Being compared to Barak the Barmy is hardly a ringing endorsement.

"During his first term, he was deputy chair of the community development and safety committee. Collins won the council's support to lobby the government to ban the sale of fireworks to the public, citing safety concerns."

But he didn't mind pushing vaccines which are far more dangerous. Link seems to need pasting into browser to work.

"I won't get in the way of women and people who are pregnant making their own, deeply personal decisions. I too am on a journey of understanding and empathy and always open to listening to people's diverse experiences and beliefs."

People who are pregnant???? Still no doubt he got his ideas from his wife.

"Collins married Fia, a diversity and inclusion specialist, in 2011." I assume this is DEI the anagram of die.

So he did. Judgement has fallen on the stupid. As for the others on the list...

Good points. I didn't feel like haranguing his memory at the time of this post but would have if he'd survived. I did not know that he was married to a DEI idiot.

Still feel sorry for his kids though and I figure that he was only woke for show as many are I guess but for him with his pentecostal upbringing in that community would have trumped woke everytime.

Thanks Richard. I don't like to revile the dead myself but he clearly wasn't being straight for whatever reason. Children don't have to be like their fathers so I hope they grow up with much more wisdom. They may struggle with a DEI mother though.

I was just thinking as TBH I think that some in the Greens would have liked me to run whether the party can be repurposed as an environmentally focused party with a strong resistance to such things as DEI, SDGs, corporates & the likes of the WEF. Because these guys aren't going to back off those things so the possibility of becoming mainstream is there, pushing back being the party of resistance.

Strange that this was about 4th hit on Google last night for "chloe swarbrick" when restricted to the last week, and ahead of NZ Herald & Bowalley Bore, but only has 3-400 eyes on it according to Substack.

And now seems to have been removed from Google search results. I guess NZ Inc. has backdoor access.

Americans thought Al Gore was a total hypocrite, but these characters him to shame. So many choices, no gems. Here, so few choices. In case you my newsboy toss missed your porch. https://stephensimac.substack.com/p/war-is-war-lies-are-weapons

Thinking about Chloe.

She's obviously been selected for us. You say she is not a YGL for Schwab. And I share your wondering.

How's this: TPTB know that an angry backlash is coming to all the Weffers so a clutch of pepsi Weffers are coming out with plain wrapping.

The adopted angle is always important to a person's psyche.

The adopted angle was definitely a part of my mother's psyche. She was very sensitive on it and she never did find out who her birth mother was, something that I found out shortly after she died (courtesy of Facebook). One of her birth family, a cousin I guess, is full woke in service of dystopia & prominent in it on Twitter.

It was suggested that she stand for Mayor by her student radio station manager. I think Chloe might be a tumblr Weffer (i.e. propagandized with online 'lessons'). Also her online handle is chloecereal which is close enough to "Chloe Surreal" who is a porn star. I have not yet had a look to see if there's any physical resemblence (apparently Ms Surreal is well endowed) but I dunno, did Chloe take her cue from Ms Surreal? Is cereal some sort of ode?

It is interesting that you know Chloe Surreal is a porn star!

She came up in a search for "chloecereal".

And then I saw information to the effect that she was a porn star. I don't know her and have never seen her nude LOL.

It's more interesting that Swarbrick's handle suggests that she knew of her.

Thanks Richard, this gives us an insight into who is who in the Green Party of NZ.

I read they are founded on six principals, including ecological wisdom, non-violence,

social justice, sustainability, participatory democracy and respect for diversity.

They have a responsibility not to twist any of these principals to suit their own agenda.

12, 14 & 15 are likely retainable with controls. The others need to be jettisoned.

The one that died suddenly will be replaced by a worse model.

Lots of poison in those terms.

If Richard becomes co leader of the Greens does that mean that he will need to swear to uphold DEI.

Embrace social justice warriorship.

And the depop sustainability.

DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) have been twisted to encompass personal agendas.

If those within the Party can’t comprehend these principals in their authentic meaning,

they should resign. Every decent person knows what they mean..

There has been some difficulty in noticing that they have attracted some who are exploiting DEI, therefore, it may be in their interest to appoint a Watch Dog.

I think that DEI is DOA Fay. It was corporate from the beginning.

Expand full comment
Richard Seager's avatar

All that it has done is lead to these sorts of statements that have no meaning and are pure virtue signalling and corporate in origin (i.e. the Australian Greens are therefore a corporate entity).

"The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging."

That's on the AU Greens website. Won't be long before it's on the NZ Greens website on its current trajectory.

Yes, it is all lip service. Unless, they dig deeper and reform themselves

they will be DOA. I take this to mean Dead On Arrival.

Yes pretty clear the jabs played a role.

The Herald hasn't said that.

Dying suddenly is expensive for needing by elections, what if all the Green MPs die suddenly?

Except Chloe may know the antidote.

The inmates have got control. If NZ wasn't such a quiet place I'd suggest a bit of skullduggery re Efiso.

Chloe, as annointed Green saviour PM, would not have got the jabs.

Those supporting her for such a role can only be batshit crazy. But I suspect that they are. As they are nowhere near as smart as they think that they are.
