The Shock Doctrine hits New Zealand
A disaster strikes (man-made or otherwise) and governments and businesses look to take advantage of the crisis.

A regular reader of my work has informed me that New Zealand is undergoing something akin to…
Job of New York Times to amplify Zionist faux fears
Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting get it in one: The New York Times’ David Kirkpatrick filed a report today (4/29/11) on one apparent problem with the move towards democracy in Egypt–the country might pursue policies more in line with what the Egyptian public supports.

Journalist Jon Stephenson claimed on TVNZ’s Marae programme that NZ’s Special Forces in…
