Enjoy! --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/2026/07/5b2886ca-3587-4a1f-be08-d23805c8f8da_1592x1182.webp) ## 1\. Paul Henry Is a Gift and a Gamble for Act *Bryce Edwards — The Democracy Project* - 📺 Minutes into his Act candidacy, Henry insulted future colleagues, attacked other parties and floated a multibillion-dollar cancer hospital — “colour and chaos” as political theatre. - 📊 Act stuck at \~7–8% while NZ First capitalises on disgruntlement; Jenna Lynch calls Henry a potential “gamechanger” and “media-savvy attack dog.” - 🗣️ Division of labour: Seymour as serious DPM/ideologue; Henry free to say what Seymour cannot about National and NZ First. - ⭐ HdPA: “ten out of ten… candidate get of the election so far”; Hosking: “shot in the arm”; Coughlan compared the launch to Jacindamania; Audrey Young: possible “seismic” event. - 📉 The real risk for Luxon: Henry may not grow the right-wing bloc, but can lift Act to 10–11% by poaching National voters — fewer National MPs and less coalition authority. - 🎯 Takeaway: under MMP, a few points shifting yellow can be “devastation stations” for Christopher Luxon even if the government is re-elected.

Death by Government *Rodney Hide — Brash & Mitchell* - 💉 Last year 486 lives ended under the End of Life Choice Act; 459 via lethal injection by an approved medical professional — not self-administration. - 📋 Only 121 SCENZ-listed practitioners (\~1 in 1,000 doctors/nurses); the full list is secret; government pays up to $3,000+ per death — cheaper than palliative care. - 🧪 Protocol (Canada-style): midazolam → lidocaine → propofol → neuromuscular blocker; death by respiratory arrest — “technically, suffocation.” - 🗣️ Hide: “the pharmaceutical equivalent of pushing a pillow over Nana’s face… rendered unconscious, paralysed and then suffocated.” - ⚖️ Editors’ note from Brash & Mitchell: the law came from a referendum with majority support; 306 applicants died waiting for consent; making people suffer a certain death is also barbaric. - 🎯 Takeaway: Parliament funds and medicalises state killing — and both sides claim the moral high ground over how death should look.

Can We Have Proper Conversations? *Ani O’Brien — Thought Crimes / Free Speech Union* - 🎤 Free Speech Union “Good Faith Yarns” winter tour: ten events, $10 tickets, substantial audience Q&A — not point-scoring debates. - 🗳️ Motive: election-year debate is “louder, nastier, and increasingly useless”; normal Kiwis conclude it is safer to say nothing. - 📍 Stops include Queenstown (growth/infrastructure with Mayor John Glover & Mike Casey), Christchurch (Treaty with Prof Te Maire Tau), Dunedin (AI/identity with Tā Ian Taylor), Whangārei (co-governance with Cr Davina Smolders). - 🗣️ Themes: Treaty as constitution, assisted dying, AI, farming, media, politics and “our future” — guests who will not necessarily agree with her. - 🎯 Takeaway: an attempt to model good-faith public disagreement when social media rewards hysteria and politicians recite lines.

A Solution to Our Electricity Problems *Bryan Leyland — Brash & Mitchell* - 🔌 Plug-in balcony solar subsidies show the debate has drifted from reliable, economic power; rooftop solar \~3× cost of utility solar once backup is priced in. - 📊 Transpower/MBIE-style reports assume wind/solar dominance via batteries and “demand-side management” — no real-world working example at scale; industry will fire up diesels instead. - ⚡ Spot-market design rewards keeping the system “on the edge of a shortage,” guaranteeing dry-year pain. - 🛠️ Four fixes: abandon net zero; expedite gas (e.g. Kawera); long-term competitive generation contracts that price backup properly; build dispatchable geothermal/hydro/coal and evaluate \~300 MW factory SMRs. - 💰 Estimated $4–8 billion a year saved by ditching net zero; of 195 Paris signatories only 19 reported progress — 15 of 18 failed their targets. - 🎯 Takeaway: NZ cannot change world climate, but can stop virtue-signalling itself into rationing and industrial decline.

The Death of History *Niall Ferguson & John-Clark Levin — The Free Press* - 📜 Thesis: antisemitism’s ancient cycle is back — but algorithms and AI have broken the old remedy of truth confronting myth. - 🎓 Ferguson recounts decades of teaching Holocaust history and warning that antisemitic rhetoric can become state genocide; today he sees hatred normalised and the Holocaust trivialised or mocked. - 🎙️ Popular conservative spaces (e.g. Tucker/CPAC orbit) increasingly tolerate Nazi revisionists; Nick Fuentes-style radicalisation for young conservatives “even worse than traditional Holocaust denial.” - 🤖 With AI researcher Levin: the tools that once exposed denial are “powerless against AI and the algorithm”; truth is sacrificed “on the altar of spectacle.” - 🎯 Takeaway: historians must admit a bitter defeat — and ask whether any remedy remains when spectacle outruns evidence.

The Dark Truth About the Pro-Palestine Marches *Limor Simhony Philpott — spiked* - 📄 NGO Monitor maps 40 organisations driving UK pro-Palestine activism: not a spontaneous “grassroots” surge after 7 Oct — infrastructure was ready. - 🔗 11 linked (or leaders linked) to Hamas, Hezbollah or the Iranian regime; 13 have no formal legal structure; 19 take UK government money (FCDO/Gift Aid); 11 take foreign government money. - 💰 Six principal organisers: five with little/partial transparency; PSC is a company (not a charity) with £3.8m income and no public donor list. - 🏛️ Islamic Human Rights Commission received \~£458,500 Gift Aid since 2020 despite documented Iranian links; Lord Walney warns of foreign manipulation risk. - 🎯 Takeaway: parties declare donors; these street-mobilising networks face weaker transparency than a parish council — prove the grassroots claim, or reform the rules.

The 51st State *Ian Plimer — The Spectator Australia* - 🧊 Greenland’s ice sheet appeared \~2.8 million years ago; much vanished 400,000 years ago and again \~7,000 years ago — no fossil fuels required. - 🧬 \~88% of Greenlanders derive from Alaskan Inuit ancestors; Plimer quips that is a paleo-Alaskan claim alongside mineral and strategic interests. - ⚔️ History: Vikings thrived in Medieval Warming, died in Little Ice Age; Denmark’s sovereignty path via unions, Napoleonic settlements, 1933 PCIJ win over Norway; Truman’s 1946 $100m gold offer rejected. - 🛡️ US Cold War/defence role from 1941; Pituffik (ex-Thule) ballistic warning & space surveillance; Camp Century and nuclear incidents in the record. - 🎯 Takeaway: Trump’s interest is history-plus-strategy — climate fraud theatre, minerals, and a super-strategic Arctic early-warning outpost against Russia/China.

The Left Has a Problem with Boys and Men *Jake Richards — The Spectator Australia* - 📉 \~Half of Britons think women’s equality has gone “far enough”; 40% say society does not value traditional masculine values — fuel for the “manosphere.” - 🏫 Boys lag: \~half school-ready vs \~¾ of girls; twice as likely to be excluded; men dominate NEET stats; male industries fell from 40% to 16% of UK output. - 👨 Father absence doubled since mid-century; \~¾ of children in custody had absent fathers; gender pay gap reverse for 18–24s. - 🏛️ Labour’s David Lammy leads Men and Boys work; first England men’s health strategy; US Democrats (Newsom, Wes Moore) piloting mentoring schemes ahead of 2028. - 🎯 Takeaway: progressive politics feels like “for other people” to many males — a Men and Boys strategy must sit at the heart of Labour’s agenda or far-right capture continues.

Do Iran’s Negotiators Speak for the IRGC? *Owen Matthews — The Spectator Australia* - 🚢 US–Iran MoU broken over who “guards” Hormuz; Trump claims 20% cargo fee as guardian; FM Araghchi replies Iran is guardian “FOREVER” and 20% is “too much.” - ❓ Core question: do Araghchi/Ghalibaf control the IRGC — or merely advocate for its strategy after gunboats blow up ceasefires? - 💥 After Doha talks “going well,” IRGC struck tankers, closed Hormuz; Trump: ceasefire over; US revoked oil export licence. - 🏛️ US officials/ISW: factional fight inside Iran; Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei authorised MoU but held “a different opinion”; some IRGC attacks admitted as “errant.” - ☢️ IAEA has not inspected nuclear stockpiles since 28 Feb; original MoU trade — HEU exit for sanctions relief, assets, $300bn reconstruction, limited Hormuz role — stalls. - 🎯 Takeaway: Trump escalates because diplomacy is failing — “Iran may never have won a war but it has never lost a negotiation.” [Read More](https://www.spectator.com.au/2026/07/do-irans-negotiators-speak-for-the-irgc/?ref=goodoil.news) --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/2026/07/GettyImages-179438899-scaled.jpg) ## 10\. Inside China’s Secret Plans to Bomb U.S. Warships *Gus Wilson — The Daily Wire* - 🛰️ Fresh satellite imagery (The Telegraph / prior Daily Wire) of Taklamakan Desert target range: replicas of Arleigh Burke destroyers amid missile debris dating to 2021. - 🚂 23-mile railway moves ship mock-ups on railcars to simulate sailing targets; at least two Gerald R. Ford carrier replicas plus destroyer models. - ✈️ Nearby: mock US runways with F-22, F-16 and F-35 models (some already cratered) — including aircraft types not sold to Taiwan. - 🇯🇵 Recreation of Yokosuka Naval Base (home to ten Burkes) plus Taiwanese bases and political buildings for invasion practice. - 🎯 Takeaway: Xi’s Taiwan “reunification” plan includes rehearsing strikes on the exact US assets that would intervene.
