Clearing House new-Seppo style

The Headline: 

‘I am dependent on her’: Man says deportation of his wife will kill him

 Is it just me or do others also think "Neat, two birds, one stone"?

Traditional?

 I was just perusing the New Zealand "news" sites and I came across an advertisement that was promoting herbs and spices.

Fair enough but the ad' claimed that you create a "traditional" New Zealand roast by taking (a hunk of) lamb and infusing it with herbs and spices before and during cooking.

Actually they called it a "traditional kiwi roast" but New Zealand has no tradition of roasting kiwis and, as the kiwi is a nocturnal, flightless bird of the not very bright type I doubt they use fire (or electricity) in preparing their roots and leaves and so that is wrong as well.

 All of that is wrong.

A "traditional" New Zealand roast is made by taking a hunk of dead sheep, more often than not hogget and throwing (almost literally) it in the oven in a bath of rendered animal fat for a couple of hours until all life and taste has been burned out of it.

Some fancy the roast up with parsnips, peeled hunks of spud, even, god-forbid, bloody awful tasting orange stuff but that is it.

It is not the grossly overcooked sheep meat I'm complaining about (although most genuine eaters do) but the bullshit use of the word "traditional".

Paltry?

 The headline:

Paltry $970,000 saved as Govt freezes incomes of 3000 families

 

 The Government (read "The poor bloody taxpayer") pays lazy bastards to just work 20 hours per week - or less.

 They use tax credits for this payment and it affects few people. 2943 families according to the linked story.

The Government has decided not to increase the limit of this credit this year.

The story appears in the NZH and is written by an obviously barely literate slime using the name  Thomas Coughlan 

Coughlan describes the amount the taxpayer saves as "paltry".

 Now, to me, $970,000 is a reasonable saving. A few Government savings of this type and maybe even old white men might qualify for medical procedures currently limited to racists. Hernia operations being the most pressing for yours truly.

But I'm always willing to be shown the error of my ways and be corrected. This time the means suggests itself.

Mr Coughlan should pay me (out of his own pocket) $970,000.00 and I can find out for myself just how paltry it is.

Is it...

 

...too late?

I think it is.

The decline in New Zealand started in 1982. We fought the good fight and we thought we’d won.

We’d beaten the dishonest and the non-thinkers (read “university polluters”), first with a successful Springboks tour and then the re-election of Muldoon.

The rent-a-mob and half-wit crowd had been put in their place – often by the long batons of the Red and Blue Squads.

An aside: Even now when you look at the honest (i.e. not heavily censored) photographs from 1981 every photograph is of the same people – Minto/Richards dressed as pooftas, a god-botherer in skirt, a couple of Back Power racists, a couple more communists (usually sheilas) and a demented group of young people who would go on to create the most racist and wet society the Western World has seen.

We, unfortunately, sat back and watched, almost coincidentally, the failure and fall of communism (the other “communist’ country, China was, in fact a military dictatorship using “communism” to keep the populace quiet – but that is a different story)and we cheered - from our armchairs.

We ignored the grossly dishonest spin put on the subsequent reminiscences of 1981, thinking the children would grow up and learn.

They didn’t!

Instead they started the brainwashing, led almost completely by those who had lost their idols of the USSR but not their desire to tell everyone else what to do.

The current Woke wankery, the current apartheid, all stem from them.

Most of their dishonesty was aimed at the young – the younger the better – which suited because “teaching” was, since the WWII crowd grew old, the preserve of the lazy and life’s failures. Real people did, “teachers” told children why they couldn’t.

Consequently New Zealand has ended up with three generations now (including current schoolchildren ages 10 – 25) who live by the lies of those early ‘80s.

People like the current PM and almost all the other MPs.

Only insurrection or take-over by another country (most likely Indonesia, China or India) will correct this but it will mean NZ will not be the best place to be for the next 100 years.

All because we sat back, satisfied, when only half the job had been done.

A Fool

 In my inbox this morning was yet another missive from Don Brash, Hobson's Pledge, once again carrying on about the infighting between two branches of the racist, communist group.

During the lead-up to the last election, allegedly, a disgusting, grossly dishonest and racist communist used nefarious means to gain more votes than another disgusting, grossly dishonest and racist communist. Both using, of course, their part-maori heritage for the purpose - a free lunch. 

Mr Brash has been hammering this issue for quite some time.

In another post I opened this morning, this time from the Free Speech Union (FSU), there is a warning about the attempted (so far) racist take-over of Internet NZ which will, should it succeed, almost certainly see free speech in New Zealand seriously curtailed.

The two issues, except for the connection to the apartheid currently being promoted by all left-wing parties in New Zealand politics*, appear to be unrelated but I wonder:

Is Mr Brash, who I admit I regard as a fool**, being played to obscure the far more important issues (such as that highlighted by the FSU) that face New Zealand? 

* National, Labour, Green and TPM

**Don Brash; Probably the only New Zealand politician at that time who could have lost the 2005 election to Helen Clark.

A Fight for the Ages.

 A group of God-botherers disrupted and upset a gathering of paedophiles and their intended (if not actual) victims.

The slime PoS reporting on the event, Raphael Franks, didn't like that. 

The "report" mentioned "violence" in it's headline and at least twice in the opening sentences as well as stating the God-botherers used punches to get to their objective and later broke through a police cordon to perform a tribal dance.

Yet all this "violence" and not a single report of any arrests.

Given the police in this instance were paedophile protectors I find that unusual.

Or could it be that Mr Franks is, like so many pooftas before him, is just another scream queen?  

I note Mr Hipkins has come out supporting the paedophiles. As his lot promoted paedophila and hated Christian and Jewish (but not co-paedophile medievilists) God botherers I find this unsurprising.

Mistakes

 

We all make mistakes. Even me.


Many moons ago, that many I run out of fingers, I was doing OK.


I worked hard and long hours, spent little, owned my own home, had wife and two kids and brewed my own beer. Basically I lived a normal life.


I had a few bob in “investments” that I allowed to grow without attention.


Then I allowed my funds to be placed in a fund run by a typical Wellingtonian by the name of Renouf.


Mr Renouf, being as I noted, a Wellingtonian, got into trouble and was taken over by a Mr Judge.


I could have taken about 10c in the $ at that stage and run but Mr Judge was known (of) to me as one of a family my father (an ex-NZ rep) played tennis with.


They were (ChCh people will explain) of the Fendalton/first ships crowd.


I allowed my finances to be forwarded to an outfit called Ariadne.


There they remain!


I started again but without the investments I also had no wife and just one child.


Single Parent.


After a run of learning new skills while working low paying jobs I eventually became my own boss, retiring, despite scum like Bridges, Joyce and the communist cunt, with comfortable means (although certainly not rich)


I tell this story because, despite the National/Labour/financier scum, I accepted I’d made mistakes and worked to overcome the results.


Not so the people Icomment about now or their advocates.

 

 The headline:

‘Appalling on all levels’ – Experts slam ANZ for failing to prevent $250k scam


These people, having badly fucked up, are blaming the tool they used (their bank) because they fucked up.


Now that would be fair enough if the bank was at fault, if the bank’s job was to protect fuckwits from themselves, but its not.


The bank stores your money and, if required, lends you some. That is how it works. That is the bank’s only job!


The bank is not there to tell you when or where you can spend your money, its not there to be your parent.


The bank takes your money, makes a profit with that money and returns to you, with interest, that money. The profit (your return) is based on the balance of profit v loss. If the bank has to pay for someone else’s fuck up, the bank doesn’t pay, YOU DO!


These people decided to give their money to fraudsters (not even the NZ Labour Party) and now want the bank to carry the cost.


If you use the same bank these people want you to pay for their fuck up.

Tinman Burger

 

I like to cook. Not quite as fond of eating but I do like the cooking and playing with food preparation. Hence this document.

A while back in Seppo-land a group of immigrants from European cities most recently occupied by France, started serving meals in USA cities. The main meat available in reasonable quantities that was suitable was beef.

Unfortunately for these people ( both restaurateurs and customers) dentistry was still the domain of barbers and blacksmiths. Eating a steak was not always comfortable.

The solution was to grind the beef up then fry it.

Ground Beef has the wonderful quality that, if fried quickly starting with a ball it sticks together, becoming, once again, a steak.

Ground Beef was not just cheaper but more “ user friendly”.

The restaurateurs were probably from all over but Hamburgers was the name they were called (Germany came later), hamburger their most well known meat.

They weren’t silly.

To the present and I’d been having trouble finding a steak that did not become boiled beef after hitting the frypan. Added to my troubles was the fact that the added water makes the steak either tough or tasteless.

So I’ve joined those Seppos and started using hamburger ( minced beef in English). Find a good butcher who doesn’t add water to cheat you. He’ll be worth it.

Now I enjoy great steaks.

One very serious rule though: The steak MUST be only beef, NO additives in the meat - although sprinkling with pepper, fresh chilli or salt while cooking works DON’T COMBINE THEM IN THE MEAT.

Cold mince combines better than room temperature and, personally, I roll the beef into a ball then refrigerate for half an hour or so.

Then Simply throw in the frying pan (bang on the BBQ etc.) and fry to your preferred done-ness.

For a steak sandwich ( Tinman Burger ) use the crusts of a loaf of bread.

NOTE: I like soy and linseed bread and use these crusts but buns, sliced toast etc. does the job.

Butter the bread.

Cook the beef, add an egg, thick slices of tomato and the bread to the pan when you turn the “steak”.

The bread cooks first. Remove it, spread red sauce liberally on one slice and cover with cheese thinly sliced or grated.

Add the now cooked beef, tomato and egg to the bun with the cheese ( the heat will melt the cheese ).

I like to put fresh, sliced chilli on the tomato while it cooks but you can add jalapeno slices at this point or have used hot red sauce.

Put the other half of the bread on top, cut in half if preferred and enjoy.

Beer or a cold rose` works well.

Oh, and play with the recipe. I'm going to try a thick (home-made) satay sauce with my next one, replacing the egg. Here's hoping!

Attack!

 I notice the slime's all out attack on Seymour and ACT continues, *Pravda having now been joined in competition for most dishonest by the New Zealand Herald, both vying to be the local communist mouthpiece.

The latest attack is re the school lunch thing that Seymour (IMHO wastefully given the recipient's carers are already overpaid to provide such) corrected and de-leftied (i.e. removed most of the incompetence).

Seymour should know better by now.

I digress: I wonder if this attacking Seymour has intensified because the slime now recognise that National, particularly under it's current "management", is actually both further left and more incompetent than their (the slime's) Labour masters? 

* Pravda also identifies as RNZ

Deport the Correct One.

 The headline:


  • New Zealand-born teen facing deportation to India appeals to authorities to stay

I've read the story, seen the photographs.

For mine, I'd keep the young fellow, make his parents walk back and deport the shyster.



Sheila's games

 

The headline:

Why are sportswomen paid less than men?

The reason:  Look no further than what has happened to sheila sport when a couple of pooftas decided they wanted in.

 Add that most "women's" sport is actually blokes sport played poorly by sheilas - lately of both sexes.

 Yet another DEI hire gone.

Gone, just like that. three in a couple of weeks.

Maybe health care in New Zealand will become available for humans again.

Mr Musk would be proud.

The Only Time.....

 in recorded history a TMP clown has made a factual statement and now he has to apologise for it.

For breaking the State Secrets Act no doubt.

Public Servants

 The headline (Pravda):

Ex-public servants still searching for work after last year's public sector cuts

The reality:
 

Market Exposes Value of ex-Public Servants

Mt Egmont

 Mt Egmont is about to become a person.

When someone injures themself while on the mountain will the Dept. of Labour (by whatever vowel-rich name they call themselves now) prosecute the mountain as they do with humans?

Assuming the mountain doesn't pay it's fine, where will they imprison it?

 

Quits

 

The headline: Health NZ boss Margie Apa resigns

Another DEI hire bites the dust.

Maybe Trump is good for New Zealand as well.

Raid

 In 1830 a murderous PoS from the Taranaki region called, I believe, Te Rapraha, hopped on a visiting European ship with his cohort of co-murderers and sailed down to Canterbury.

There he and his mates proceeded to fight, murder or enslave approx nine out of every ten Ngai Tahu tribesmen he encountered.

A contemporary account mentions a number of "meat packs" being loaded aboard the ship for the return journey.

An official Ngai Tahu historian told me there were approx 350 Ngai Tahu left alive after the raid. Most of those were old men and women and women (usually with child) who had been hidden from the raiders.

The historian told me that this group numbered about 350 spread over the area from Akaroa and Lyttleton to Kaiapoi.

The only way Ngai Tahu in Canterbury survived was a deliberate program of breeding with visiting seamen (mainly white) off the whaling, sealing and flax-trading boats.

Hence the numbers of red-headed "maori" running around when settlers started arriving around 1850.

I mention this history because I note the current (shamefully given he's a racist liar) Prime Minister spent Waitangi day among the descendants of this group. Basically he spent the day among sunburnt white people.

What a shame he didn't spend maori-troublemaker day with his maori mates.

A couple of other questions arise from this historical foray:

1/ Meatpacks? Before the introduction of bovine, ovine, equine or porcine species to the region.

2/ Why, as with the Chathams murderous raid, did the Taranaki outfit need to use white-man's ships if they were, as we are so often told, masters of the seas and oceans?

Editing Suggestion

 The headline:

"It's only going to get worse": Labour 'perplexed' by Govt's new Kainga Ora plan

The headline factualised:  

Labour Perplexed!

GO!

 The Mexican ambassador is at Waitangi and will meet with Mr Peters.

They will apparently talk about Mr Jones' comment to a communist MP.

One would hope that Mr Peters will tell the ambassador to fuck off back to kow-tow-to-Trump land and take the communist poof with him.

This would, of course, be the only sensible option.

???

 The story.

Shouldn't that be "Hopper loses leg"?

No, It Wasn't!

 I read once again today the assertion that "The Treaty" (I assume the 1840 one) was between Queen Victoria (on behalf of Britain) and approx 500 Maori chiefs.

The signatories of the treaty were about 500 strong, this is correct. It is the "chiefs" bit that needs to be checked.

The 500 included, despite New Zealand law specifically excluding them, 13 (according to Wikipedia) women.

Basically the treaty crowd toured the treaty around New Zealand getting anyone with a brown skin and a heap of vowels to "sign" it.

The "Treaty" is nothing more than a curio from 1840 and should be sent to a museum where it belongs.

Heaven Destroyed

 Your standing there, in the forest, enjoying nature. Enjoying nature's "silence".

Standing still, as is your wont, just listening to the birds, the bees, the insects and the noise wind makes as it meanders through the branches, stirs the leaves and needles on the ground around you.

At peace with the World.

Then, out of nowhere, some brown, bearded, unkempt, sandal clad nutbar, her tiny dweeb halfwit partner in tow, invades your space with loud, wierd noise-making devices that don't just shatter the peace you enjoy so much but also drive away the birds and insects that create that quiescent atmosphere.

They will take forever to return!

For a bonus they throw odorous oil on you.

Can Kauri trees sue for breach of peace?

 Paraphrasing, Sir Brian Roche has, as he was commissioned to, found the cause of much waste in the Public Service.

To find the way to overcome this problem he has set up a committee.

Meat

 I like cold meat, particularly cold roasted beef. 

Just before Xmas I parked outside of a butchery in Rangiora. 

Having pretty much given up on meat and limiting myself to just buying cheap cuts because of the water content added to meat by most retailers I no more than glanced in the window but I did note a sign advertising beef mince on "special".

I wanted some (hamburger steaks are a favorite) so I purchased a kilo.

It was edible so I decided this week to investigate the shop more.

I wandered in and, after a look and noting prices were about what I paid elsewhere, I purchased some more minced beef and a topside roast (in sealed packaging). The roast was about 1.3Kg and cost me $22.

I cooked the roast on my BBQ.

To my surprise it didn't shrink to half it's size. It was all meat.

I have just shared the fourth meal off that piece with the flies and there is still plenty left (probably one more cold-meat meal, a snack and some rissoles to finish).

It also tastes bloody great!

The butchery is PNP Farm's Butchery specialising in Angus Beef. High Street, Rangiora. Their website advises that they are also in Auckland and Christchurch.

I recommend it - further I intend to purchase all my meat from there from now on.

Well done that butchery!

A Plea

 A lot of talk about the USA acquiring Greenland right now.

Greenland, often described as the World's biggest Island (I thought Oz held that distinction), is apparently open to an agreement where USA has full defense and mineral exploration rights and obligations while remaining independent.

Seems like a win-win.

Meanwhile can someone tell The Donald about a group of Islands in the South Pacific being currently destroyed by communism and racism and of strategic importance for USA access to the World's richest and least developed continent.

Purchase price right now would be about $US0.03 including tax.

The Donald buying these islands would improve both the USA and New Zealand while saving the latter from 3rd world status and bankruptcy.

Brekkie

I loathe milk!

I went to school in New Zealand, starting in 1958. Part of the torture of those years was the daily, compulsory (1/2 pint a day), dose of warm, sun-affected, day old milk.

It was foul.

Since that time I have avoided the stuff. Coffee I take black with honey, I break my fast with toast and coffee, etc.

That has meant I don't use cereals but, due to a life-change, that has to be reassessed. In my re-assessment I have discovered I can stomach whipped cream (without sugar or vanilla polluting it).

A bit of experimenting and I've come up with a Muesli-type mix that works for me.

The recipe: 

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups prepared Quinoa

1 cup chopped peanuts

1/2 cup (approx - more = sweeter) Kanuka honey*

1/2 cup (good) Olive oil

1 tbsp vanilla

1 tbsp cinnamon.

Mix ingredients in a large bowl, spread on baking paper on a dished oven tray (one with sides) about 2-3cm thick.

Bake in heated oven at 180C for 9 minutes, stir thoroughly and bake until mix is dry and crisp (ensuring top does not burn), usually about 10 minutes.

Remove from oven, add 1 cup of any dried fruit** you have or want and stir in.

Turn off oven and use residual heat from oven to finish off.

When cool refrigerate mix in container with lid.

I've found that separating the mix in serving-sized bags the next day and freezing keeps the mixture for weeks.

Serve with whipped cream.

* Kanuka honey is not overly sweet and has good anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. I prefer it but any honey will do or try Maple syrup.

** I like cranberries, goji berries and often add blueberries when serving.

One Law for Them - One for Us

 200 blatant racists assembled at Omaha near Hastings on Friday to promote apartheid and preach sedition.

The only reason there weren't white sheets and pointy hats is they were slightly brown although I would be unsurprised if crosses were burnt..

As yet no reports of arrests from these illegal and nefarious activities.

Why not?

Are brown racist scum above the law in New Zealand?

Six Hours in Sunlight - Brilliant!

 I sat in the sun for a very almost six hours yesterday.

I reiterate: I sat in the sun for almost six hours yesterday.

I was making an item out of black leather that required black stitching and only direct sunlight gives me the ability to see it properly - I'm old and so are my eyes.

However I sat in direct sunlight for at least five of the six hours between 09:30 and 15:30. I went in for lunch at 15:30. I was wearing T-shirt and shorts with jandals and a fedora hat.

Not once in those (almost) six hours, remembering it was the 10th of January yesterday (middle of summer) and I'm located in Kaiapoi, Canterbury, New Zealand, did I feel like the sun was burning me, nor today do I feel burnt.

So, the middle of summer, right under the hole in the Ozone layer, with minimal clothing and yet no real heat from the sun.

I mention this because this morning I saw a headline (no, no link. Look it up for yourself) about how much hotter 2024 was and suggesting run-away global warming is here at last. It will be the first of many.

Despite several international stories over the last month on the dishonesty and disgrace of the "climate change" industry in sighting sensors in hot places and at least one verified report of a Pom outfit actually inventing weather and temperature records to fit their narrative.

Despite scientists (real ones) reporting a lack activity on Sol.

Yesterday's six hours demonstrates exactly what these "climate bullshitters" are; complete fuckwits who want nothing more than to tell you what you may or may not do.

Hopefully today's overcast lifts soon and I can start another six hour stint.

Submitted? Nah, you're a Bot!

 It has started.

This: 

Record Treaty submissions could be result of nefarious activity - tech expert

If you are one of the hundreds of thousands of New Zealanders who submitted on the Treaty Principles Bill and were on the non-wet side of the divide get prepared.

Almost certainly your submission will be discounted as being "by a bot".

Of course you won't know but my guess is the official figures of those submissions deemed "legitimate" will be approx 90% against The Bill proceeding and 9% for with 1% being neither.

In New Zealand "Democracy" is just a system started in the desert about 500BC that has no bearing on the present.

In New Zealand the People don't count!

A Minor Addition to a Good Column

 There is another excellent column at Breaking Views today.

The column I speak of is headed Owen Jennings: Where is the partnership?

I recommend the read and will add a minor point to it.

There has been a great deal of comment recently that most of the Maori chiefs signed the "Maori" version of the Treaty.

This appears also to be accepted by the brain-dead and the non-thinkers (read "politicians").

It is in fact just more Maori greedy-activist fantasy.

There was only one treaty (the one currently called "The English version") offered and while the piece of paper used for the Maori chiefs to sign their agreement may have contained an attempted translation the Treaty signed for by the largely illiterate (i.e. they couldn't read any "version") Chiefs, they signed up to Hobson's Treaty - written in English.

I won't comment on any motive they may have had to sign that Treaty except to note that there were many more Maori in years before the agreement and after a few years of signing the agreement than there were when the signing took place.

I will note that after signing the agreement they happily wandered off and broke the treaty at will until finally brought to heel later in the 19th century.

Maori Party Noise

 I refer you to a column I found in Breaking Views.co.nz written by Geoff Parker.

This column details the demands of the Maori Party.

Unfortunately I think the column, while informative and, thankfully short, is waste of space.

Let me explain: I believe in free speech and therefore believe that even those with abhorrent, disgusting ideas should have the right to express those ideas if they so wish.

That includes the racists.

But more, the Maori party always will be just a small, noisy, very greedy minority.

Without the assistance of others they will remain simply a noise.

The people Mr Parker et al should be berating are those who will enable the Maori Party to have any influence in the progress of New Zealand.

I'm not referring, of course, to the Green Party, who are brain-dead, reality denying halfwits elected by brain-dead, reality defying halfwits.

I refer to Labour party voters and uncommitted voters (one must question the mental ability of anyone uncommitted in today's political climate).

These people, and only these people, can determine whether the racists become more than an unpleasant noise. By electing people (at all levels) that will oppose the noisy ones these people can help protect New Zealand.

They're not very bright that lot. Use short words and repeat them often.

Death in Nelson

 I'm back, but for how long I don't know.

The news recently has been full of the death of a Nelson Policewoman. I didn't know this Policewoman.

I first make this disclaimer: Over the approx 30 years in dealing with the NZ Police regularly - as part of my job - I have never yet met a Policewoman who I either respected or liked.

100% of policewomen I've dealt with were bullies, usually too lazy to get out of their own way and a disgrace to the uniform. Most males, and all older, experienced males I met were the opposite.

Nelson was one of the places I worked.

Despite this disclaimer I don't believe killing Policewomen is right - it is wasting too much of the tax-payer money used to train them.

I digress.

Reports of the incident have been strictly censored and I (we?) don't know a lot of details. Part of the censorship is the police-requested court-ordered suppression order that includes the ethnicity of the vehicle driver.

I wonder whether this is simply to emulate big cities overseas that see much racist violence and pretend Nelson has similar characteristics or whether the perpetrator is of the protected race?

Worldwide we are seeing far more use of the motor vehicle as a deadly weapon.

In that Nelson may be a pioneer of sorts. In 2001 I moved to Nelson temporarily after a contract fell through.

The first night I was there a man was deliberately run over - in the same carpark as the policewoman was killed.

That man, luckily, wasn't killed and, later, became a regular customer.

Back to the point; The suppression of details and history makes me wonder whether this was a drunk/high aggrieved member of the public or something more organised?

Something we should ALL be concerned about.
