Yesterday we were outside the NZ Space Agency (MBIE) in solidarity and support of the judicial review claim filed against the NZ government for approving launches of spy satellites over Gaza. The grounds state the satellites risk supplying Israel’s military with targeting data to use in Gaza.

So I hope someone is asking NZ First MPs how they feel about Nazis being in their party, whether they agree with those views, and whether they're Nazis themselves.

Winston Peters parent's must be turning in their graves. They named him after one of Hitler's main opponents and now he is hanging out with Adolf admirers. Also Young NZ First need to rebadge to Shitler Youth.

There is all this bullshit about the world being a more dangerous place - as if that was some inevitable, natural progression. It is NOT. War happens because it is profitable for SOME - financially, politically or both. #ArmsTradeDeathTrade #NoWarButClassWar

We break these staggering numbers down and put all this war spending into context. We also strongly put forward the view that a rise in war spending to 2% of GDP is itself completely unjustifiable and morally bankrupt.

Radio NZ is today reporting on Israeli company Gigablue's attempts to corrupt the NZ government with law changes in its favour to allow marine dumping in some cooked climate credits scheme. Sanction Israel, don't do business with it. Read the full story here: www.rnz.co.nz/news/environ...

Start-up asked for regulation changes to allow controversial marine carbon storage
Gigablue applied for permission to put a thousand tonnes of its particles in New Zealand waters - but was told its plans amounted to marine dumping.

If you are watching Western media of the US and Israeli war on Iran...you aren’t getting the whole story. Remember, this is the same media that has been covering up Israel’s genocide for the past two+ years. NZ's media is platforming pro-war voices who endlessly repeat US and Israeli talking points.
