## 1\. Inconsistent With Our Values?

*Chris Trotter*

- 🧠 Clinical psychologist Dr Arna Mitchell (Māori) answered Wero’s “psychology is systemically racist” brief for NZCCP — peer-reviewed article became the journal’s most-read; NZCCP pulled it as “inconsistent with its values.”
- 📜 Not plagiarism, not error — ideology. Abstract alone survives: Wero claims unsubstantiated; reforms driven by selective opinion outside the scientist-practitioner model.
- 🤝 Mitchell’s heresy: common humanity of Māori and Pākehā above sociocultural difference. If cognition isn’t shared, build bespoke psychologies — and fund them yourselves under Article II logic.
- 🎭 Governing body still pushes a formal apology for “systemic racism,” text withheld from members until delivery day. Decolonisation fifth column in the professional nests.
- 🎯 Takeaway: asserting Article Three equality is now suppressible. Originally The Good Oil, 3 July.

## 2\. Luxon & Co: Why Do They Look Like a Cargo Cult?

*Grant Duncan — Politics Happens*

- 📉 CPI 4.1% to June; unemployment 4%→5.6%; GDP +0.8%. Surplus 26/27 and debt cuts missed. Advance voting 26 Oct — too late for recovery to register. Liam Dann: already too late to save the government.
- 🍳 Rotorua: Short asks how long SMEs hang on with rising costs/fewer customers; Luxon lectures “retool and radically disrupt,” “parent-child mentality,” Claude Code show-of-hands — later apology.
- ✈️ John Key cargo cult: Second Coming of Key would restore the mojo; Prebble “stuffed,” Hooton “out of his depth” still hold.
- 🗳️ Recovery 2027 will be businesses, workers, oil prices and Tehran/Washington — Beehive will claim credit either way. Labour eager to resume patronising too.
- 🎯 Takeaway: cargo-cult politics optional. Join or don’t.

## 3\. The Limits Una Jagose KC Cannot Name

*A Halfling’s View (David Harvey)*

- ⚖️ Ex-SG Jagose warns of “sleepwalking” toward collapse of separation of powers — actually defends judicial encroachment against Hodder, Watts (Ellis), Partridge remedies.
- 📜 Ellis: no Māori party, Court self-instigated tikanga into any common-law/statute question, discarded Loasby — “cloud over entire case law and statute book.” Continuity with 1901 PC is bait-and-switch.
- 🗳️ Jagose: can Parliament define the Treaty “without Māori”? Māori already in Parliament as electors/MPs. Extra-parliamentary veto = unelected judges or corporate iwi above the House — one person one vote abandoned by podium assertion.
- 📊 Her own Helen Clark survey: only 43% trust fair courts (31% struggling, 35% under-30). Urgency is ballot-box fixable; judicial revolution isn’t. Trotter: courts lose any real struggle with Parliament.
- 🎯 Takeaway: correction is Parliament’s, calmly and soon — or forced later.

## 4\. The Electricity System — Energy Realism Versus Policy Greenwash

*John Raine*

- ⚡ Cheap high-density energy = prosperity. EROI ladder: nuclear/hydro \~40–80; coal/gas 10–30; wind 5–15; solar PV 3–10 — often below viable \~8 once backup counted.
- 🔋 Wind/solar fail continuity; mass batteries uneconomic (Li density <2% of gas; 10–15yr life); high share needs \~40% coal/gas backup or Spain-style instability.
- 🌏 Aus/Germany/UK de-industrialising on low-EROI “renewables” while Aus ships coal to China for EVs sold back — green hypocrisy. ETS still taxing NZ industry for virtue.
- 🗳️ Greens/Labour: subsidised rooftop solar+batteries (\~3× farm cost). Nat: end oil/gas ban + double “renewables.” NZ First oil/gas exploration sound. Path: limited new solar/wind; more hydro/geo; gas bridge; nuclear medium-long term.
- 🎯 Takeaway: reject virtue-signal energy policy that wrecks the economy and moves no dial on climate.

## 5\. Journalists Are Still Defending Fauci Because They Spent Years Dehumanizing Covid Dissidents Based On His Lies

*Alex Gutentag — Public*

- 📰 Dana Bash to RFK Jr: “I wasn’t part of the problem” / “best science.” Diary: Bash texts Fauci that Jordan can “go f--- yourself”; shares VF “trips over his own asshole” headline; Tapper dinners; Cuomo “adult in the room.”
- 🔄 Now: “Fauci had no authority.” Then: pressure to give him unlimited power vs elected Trump. Privately knew vax didn’t stop infection/transmission and natural immunity worked — still chased mandates.
- 🏫 NYT/WaPo school-closure gospel while Europe reopened safely; “pandemic of the unvaccinated”; Lemon “shun them”; Macron “not a citizen”; WaPo “make life a living hell for anti-vaxxers.”
- 📉 CNN lost 40% audience; media trust 28%. Bhattacharya (once blacklisted) now NIH: end GoF, new playbook, vaccine-injury centre. Trump 2024 traces to Covid fallout.
- 🎯 Takeaway: they can’t criticize Fauci without admitting they dehumanised people on falsehoods. Permanent stain.

## 6\. What Else Are They Hiding?

*Jeffrey Tucker — The Epoch Times*

- 📂 Rand Paul dump: thousands of pages from Fauci-era NIH. Diary/autobio draft \~1,100 dense pages (\~2,400 book). Gates special clearances; book cleared via Morens (charged with document destruction).
- 🔇 Senate: 111× Fifth Amendment despite full pardon back to 2014 — only perjury risk left. Tucker spent days reading; 30 pages of notes.
- 🏚️ 2020 foreign regime overnight: home, masks, closed churches, censored GBD authors, debanked dissidents. Trust collapsed for a reason — conspiracy theories met evidence.
- 🏛️ Media, academia, medicine, government hit hard. Catharsis not joy. Bhattacharya now runs NIH rebuilding. Question remains: what else, and for how long?
- 🎯 Takeaway: men and women of courage released the files. Redemption possible — patient for the whole truth.

## 7\. How ‘Progressive’ Empathy Fuelled the Ceuta Crisis

*James Dixon — spiked*

- 💔 Tens of thousands into Ceuta: easy to feel for locals and desperate crossers. Empathy now domineering — question high immigration = lack empathy = evil.
- 🧠 Aristotle: virtues as a web; phronesis balances them. Empathy alone can’t weigh obligations, long-term costs, or tomorrow’s greater suffering. Sentimentality ≠ kindness.
- 🇪🇺 Policies from impulse encourage deadly routes, overwhelm institutions, erode trust. Small continent can’t house the world. Sánchez: troops + Morocco returns — most already back.
- 🎯 Takeaway: less empathy as sole light; more judgement, prudence, courage. Crisis will repeat until the West stops.

## 8\. 53 Gaza Health-Sector Workers Identified as Hamas and PIJ Terrorists

*Jewish Onliner*

- 🏥 Salo Aizenberg thread: 53 health workers (23 Hamas, 29 PIJ, 1 unnamed) via martyr notices vs hospital records — 40 commanders/deputies.
- 🩺 Drs El-Gamal (held 3 hostages at home) and Kardi (Shifa; Oct 7; held Romi Gonen + Noa Marciano’s body; Gonen accused sexual assault). MSF physio Al-Wadia later confirmed PIJ military manufacturing commander.
- 🩸 At least 3 Oct 7 attackers in scrubs (ER nurse Mushtaha, nurse Al-Namnam, nurse Salman/hostages). Five Nasser Hospital nurses as commanders — hostages testified held there.
- 📋 Full 53 listed with roles. MSF updated memorial after PIJ claim; ICN tribute to Hamas platoon-commander nursing leader still up; Healthcare Workers Watch silent on revisions.
- 🎯 Takeaway: “health worker” shield collapses under the groups’ own notices.

## 9\. The Ceuta Chaos Could Make Marine Le Pen President

*Gavin Mortimer — The Spectator Australia*

- 🇪🇺 22 of 27 EU states (Italy/Denmark lead) demand deter illegal migration, harden borders, kill pull factors — cite Spain’s mass regularisation. Holdouts: France, Lux, Portugal, Spain, Ireland.
- 🇫🇷 Macron + Sánchez: only pair against return hubs; Sánchez NYT “West Needs Migrants” op-ed; now brands Italy/Denmark “selfish.” Meloni riding Ceuta into 2027 early election chatter.
- 🗳️ Le Pen: strengthen borders now; 2027 end Schengen free movement for non-EU nationals — online poll 98% support. Philippe’s tweet met her record as PM: +30% residence / +60% refugee permits vs Hollande.
- 🔪 Paris stabbing “Allah sent me” + Ceuta images; France destination of choice for Moroccans (621k legal + huge illegal stock).
- 🎯 Takeaway: if Le Pen wins, centre-left Socialists only have themselves to blame.

## 10\. Europe Should Not Learn the Wrong Lessons from Ceuta

*Rafael Bardají — The Spectator Australia*

- ⚔️ Two crises, not one: (1) Morocco’s migration-as-coercion (Green March 1975, 2021 Ghali episode, now 60k+ into city of 80k while Rabat watches — most returned = limited leverage op); (2) Spain/EU internal immigration ideology.
- 🎯 First lesson: migration is statecraft — Russia/Belarus/Morocco deploy civilians, not troops. Treat it as such.
- 🇪🇺 Second: openness as virtue, borders as rights obstacles, legal/illegal blurred. Frontex kit without shared will to use it. Spain regularisations reshape electorate; Schengen makes Madrid’s border Europe’s.
- 🏛 Civilisation can be multiracial with shared civic culture; not parallel communities forever. Democracy needs a defined demos. Centre-right owns cheap-labour complicity too.
- 🎯 Takeaway: Ceuta warned about willingness to defend political foundations of freedom — history punishes failure to name the challenge.
