New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has just survived a coup attempt partially engineered by … himself. Confusion reigns in the capital after Luxon staggered out of the caucus room bloodied but still standing after Defence Minister Chris Penk launched a challenge. His MPs were ‘unified’ behind him, Luxon said, shortly before sacking Penk. Other ministers named in the putsch ran for cover…
US unilateral sanctions, the kind being imposed on Cuba today, are deadlier for children than war according to a major piece of research published in The Lancet, the world’s leading medical journal. Totally ignored by the mainstream media, the report has bombshell findings that should call into question the use of sanctions to impose punishments on entire populations for the actions of their…
On Wednesday Green Party MP Dr. Lawrence Xu-Nan heckled the foreign minister about his vaccination status during a debate in parliament. The notoriously thin-skinned Peters shouted: "I know you just came here five minutes ago. Go back where you come from, you loud mouth!”
When President Trump said, “Iran must unconditionally surrender”, it suggests he has not read the history of this nation. Surrender is the worst thing for us. It’s the same with calling for zero enrichment, giving up our missiles and our allies – they don’t understand the identity of the Iranian people. We fought against Saddam Hussein for 8 years to ensure we did not lose a centimetre of our…
This week, on July 24, the 125 member states of the International Criminal Court will vote on whether to fire Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan. This is far more than a vote about the alleged serious misconduct of one powerful man. It represents an unprecedented institutional crisis for both the ICC and the entire system of international justice on which the Palestinian and other suffering people of the…
China’s recent launch of a nuclear-capable missile into the Pacific was greeted with howls of protest from the US and its allies. "We are living in a region that is proudly nuclear free. We don't want to see increasing militarisation in our region," New Zealand PM Christopher Luxon said. It came on the heels of his Defence minister suggesting a national conversation was needed about nuclear…
Despite advice from wiser heads, Trump and Hegseth swallowed the bait from Netanyahu and launched a miserably conceived, poorly executed and catastrophic war on Iran earlier this year. Trump is no FDR and Hegseth is no Carl von Clausewitz; it's more like Dumb and Dumber Went to War. These are the same people New Zealand, Australia, South Korea and the Philippines’ leaders are betting the family…
“They’re scum … they’re led by sick people and they’re vicious, violent people. There’s something wrong with them. They’re cuckoo. As far as I’m concerned, it’s over.” Trump said after bombing Iran yesterday and threatening to tear up the MOU. The pussy-grabbing Leader of the Free World has always had poor impulse control but we are moving into a new phase with F-bombs, real bombs and threats to…
“Tonya Harding can bring a lot of experience to the side and ensure the US players get the respect they deserve from the Belgiumians,” Fifa Peace Prize laureate Donald J Trump told Truth Social today. “It was my idea. She’s a winner. She’s got the best ideas,” the President said in an Oval Office interview. Harding was, according to “the fake news”, involved in the 1994 assault on her figure…
“RIMPAC is representative of the militarization of our islands. There's always this claim that it is for our benefit, for our protection and for the security of Hawaii and the region, but beginning with the military-backed overthrow of the kingdom, the military has always been there for America's imperial interests.”
