Enjoy! --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/2026/07/97fa45455e1f7a5113f8df7222ff8141.jpg) ## 1\. Kindness Is Free: The Mocker’s Cut-Price Version of Jacinda Ardern’s Sermon *The Mocker — The Australian* - 💸 Canberra agencies spent \~$80k sending public servants to Ardern’s women’s-leadership love-in: Defence \~$13k, ASD nearly $30k — “feelings, not facts” on the taxpayer tab. - 🎥 The Mocker’s free version: kindness branding since 2018 — hired a three-person taxpayer-funded film crew in NY for the empathy pics; Clarke’s five years of “unplanned” kitchen footage became the ‘Prime Minister’ doco. - 👑 Proud socialist-republican accepts a damehood because refusing “would have been unkind.” Kindness: the non-negotiable principle, conveniently aligned with the brand. - 📉 Hosking on *A Different Kind of Power*: “made an astonishing hash… quit, bailed out, now collecting money for retelling.” Five years left NZ with nothing in the tank, but the failure always blamed on nefarious forces/misogyny. - 🎯 Takeaway: kindness may cost nothing for her — it cost NZ a great deal. And now Australian taxpayers are footing the latest invoice.

Is Te Reo Māori Being Saved — or Slowly Embalmed? *Dane Giraud (with historian Paul Moon) — The Many Ways I Let You Down / NZ Free Speech Union podcast* - 📉 Moon (*Killing Te Reo Māori*): the reassuring revival story may be part of the problem — honesty, not annual celebrations, is what a taonga deserves. - 🧒 Kōhanga reo = real transmission success, run “on the smell of an oily rag” while politicians sprinkle speech te reo and applause instead of funding. - 🌍 English is the global apex predator: films, music, gaming, social — adult second-language learners rarely pass it to kids unless it’s also the surrounding culture. - 🏫 Compulsion hasn’t saved Irish or Welsh; forced school lessons won’t save te reo either; pronunciation-policing can frighten off anxious beginners. - 🎯 Takeaway: necessity drove survival before; symbolic mandates, signage week and four ineffective policies bundled together still aren’t transmission.

The Green Party’s Election Reset *Grant Duncan — Politics Happens* - 🔄 Co-leaders at AGM signal “For All of Us”: away from shrill identity politics, back to material needs — “affordable lives, healthy nature, honest politics.” - 📉 Polls below 10% early 2026 (as low as 7%), climbing back above 10% in June–July despite Opportunity pressure; must defend 3 electorates (2 renamed/reboundaried) + beat 11.6%. - 🤝 Swarbrick: “We have to talk not just to each other, but to those we’ve never talked to before” — healthy post-polarisation instinct, if practised; Mamdani-style “affordability” borrowed. - ⚠️ Still Labour’s captive partner: rule out National → zero post-election leverage; “bloodsport” ends except when Davidson “shames” Luxon — and NZ First is eating the anti-neoliberal critique from the right. - 🎯 Takeaway: self-examination done, turnaround unproven; “all of us” vs four departed MPs’ ethics baggage is the live test.

My Vote Needs a Home *Peter Allan Williams* - 💰 $60m to Fletcher’s Golden Bay Cement (ETS-driven losses) instead of ditching the ETS; Luxon swears Net Zero 2050 is still achievable against the Commission’s own numbers (78 → 20 Mt CO2-e). - 🍼 Willis subsidising childcare for families earning up to $229,000 — welfare even Ardern/Robertson would struggle to match — plus parental leave to 30 weeks, keep the extra holiday + 10 sick days. - 🛒 Finance Minister musing supermarket interference when Woolworths NZ runs <5% EBIT (\~2.5c/$ vs F&P Healthcare’s \~20% NPAT) — structural separation is the silly idea. - 🗳️ Fifteen weeks out: National = social democrats in disguise; NZ First buying banks/Super teams is crazy; ACT lost on life issues; a six-party menu with nothing worth ordering. - 🎯 Takeaway: the redistributive “Marxists” were supposed to be the ones Luxon ruled out — at this rate, check the mirror.

Will the “Fat Lady” Finally Sing? *James Howard Kunstler — Clusterfuck Nation* - 📅 Fauci subpoenaed to the Rand Paul–chaired Senate HSGAC, Wed Jul 29; “Biden” pre-emptive pardon means no Fifth to hide behind — cue the world champ of can’t-recall at 85. - 🧪 Central question: lab-made chimera vs pangolin jump; DNI Gabbard’s email paper-trail shows Fauci circle scrambling cover; Daszak/EcoHealth & the nullified Lancet letter. - 🗣️ Apr 23, 2020 (per Fauci’s own email): Trump yelling at Birx — “You and Fauci have destroyed the country and the economy….” - 🏥 The medical establishment went along with lockdowns, mRNA, vents/remdesivir, $35k-per-Covid-death incentives, ivermectin sneers — “first, do no harm” broken at scale. - 🎯 Takeaway: only Morens indicted so far; the real open question is why Trump still hasn’t denounced the whole operation himself.

Anthony Fauci’s Private Diary and Emails Show He Knew Lockdowns Failed, As Well As Pushed Masks With Zero Evidence *Ian Miller — Unmasked* - 📔 Rand Paul released diary entries/emails: the “objective, infallible” expert’s own notes cut the other way on lockdown failure and CDC masking “based on nothing.” - 🎭 The Pope-ornament, CNN-glow myth of Fauci vs the narcissistic “I am the science” reality — critics were more right than even they thought. - 🔗 Tied to Miller’s prior work showing mask mandates didn’t reduce COVID hospitalisations; consensus research money followed the approved narrative. - 🎯 Takeaway: the receipts are now in his own handwriting — the shrine-building era is officially over.

The Fauci Diaries *The Editors — The Free Press* - 📖 The private musings of the former top U.S. science adviser: a fame-obsessed official, with a mainstream media complicit in his untruths. - ❌ Lockdowns and school closures — wrong. “Extremely unlikely” vaccinated transmit — wrong. Masks for 2-year-olds — wrong. “Wet market” natural origin with lab-leak criticism shut down — wrong. - 🏛️ Paul subpoenaed him for Wednesday: the man who said critics “are really criticizing science because I represent science” now answers under the diary. - 🎯 Takeaway: lab-leak is no longer heresy; the only question left is who pays for the record.

Media Warn Of “Far Right” As Left Attacks Journalists And Democracy In Germany *Michael Shellenberger — Public* - 🥊 Jul 4 Erfurt: Apollo News reporters Aston & Marx hunted and beaten near the AfD congress after a 30k-protest, 2k violence-ready blockade; assailants remain free — imagine the coverage if the shoe was on the right. - 🚫 Bundestag member Sichert barred from county-mayor race: committee cited his successful 2025 candidacy and use of his mandate — first-ever political ban, SPD/Green enabling law + 22-minute hearing, court fight to Lüneburg ahead. - 🧠 Designation “substantial significance”/“proven right-wing extremist” by contested admin judgment — not a court-party ban (only Constitutional Court can do that) — yet it licences the mob (“new NSDAP”) to beat and block. - 📰 NYT/WaPo/AP covered the protests, not the violence; Reuters photo without the story; public broadcasters cursory. - 🎯 Takeaway: the “Trump effect” is real — candidate bans helped drive AfD to a record \~29%. Censorship, meet electoral math.

Parens Patriae — A Critique of Cecilia Robinson’s Phone and Social Media Ban Call *A Halfling’s View (David Harvey)* - ⚖️ B416’s “do both” (ban phones *and* social media) rests on unstated causation evidence — then immediately switches to precautionary prior restraint; you can have proof or doubt, not both. - 🔁 Her substitutability point (a phone-less kid still finds TikTok) cuts against her own account-age rule just the same; early peer-reviewed Australian evaluation found no substantial under-16 effect. - 🥅 Goalposts moved: “did it work?” becomes norms/pathways — unfalsifiable claims where circumvention = tighten enforcement and stagnation = give norms longer. - 🧩 Unasked objection: age-gating every social user means an identity/biometric layer over the whole internet for adults too; French DSA friction and earlier consent-law technical failures omitted. - 🎯 Takeaway: parens patriae is for the unprotected child, not a warrant for the State to out-parent every Kiwi parent on an assertion, an emotion and a roll-call of foreign legislatures.

The Inside Story of How Democrats Lost the Working Class *Evan Barker — The Free Press (excerpt from “Nothing Left: Confessions of a Democratic Operative”)* - 🗳️ Lifelong Kansas City operative who once canvassed 40h/week for Obama: “On Tuesday, I voted for Donald Trump… the biggest middle finger I’ve ever raised to the party I’d supported for most of my adult life.” - 🏥 Childhood with primary ciliary dyskinesia — hospitals as the rhythm of life — made healthcare her line; the same working class she fought for got left behind by the coalition it once anchored. - 📊 Book out Tuesday; midterms approach as the progressive wing ascends — the drift she reported in Nov 2024 is now the electoral map. - 🎯 Takeaway: when the party of “the middle-class family” starts governing for everyone except the middle class, operatives eventually defect for the reason voters did — with receipts.
