New Global Reality and Al Gore

Posted 28th Dec 2015 to Summer Report Radio New Zealand

Your Program got it right this morning... We are living in a different century and we need to deal with different problems..
THE USA has been Following it’s old formula of protecting it’s interests with Military Force and not keeping the Peace as a Superpower should.
All the problems of today are down to a couple of supreme court Judges in the USA who took it upon themselves put George W Bush in Power and bounced out a President who
understood the need to change with the times. And be a force of reason.

Eventually as more and more people are educated there will be a critical  A HAH moment when we collectively realize we are all vulnerable human beings together in charge of our own survival.

New Zealand Tourism Bubble 2015

Posted 22nd December to Morning Report Radio New Zealand

Why are people sounding Happy that our Tourism Industry will be broken by shear numbers in February
This is not good for the Country or the Industry it is a Bubble.
Our Government has failed us again. Surely the objective of good Tourism is To improve the Quality of the Product
Not burst it for a four week boom. Ironically the Department of Conservation is the Key Player in Our Tourism Industry yet there is a total lack of Funds
For the Department to Improve its Services and Products let alone Expand them.

The system is Broken and our Tourism Leadership is about inept as it can be.

The United States: Golbal Police or Fire Department

Posted to the New York Times New Paper December 10th 2015

Comedian Bill Maher may not be a politician but he has the ears of powerful People on this Planet
There seems to be a consensus on his show that the United States of America is NOT the World’s Policeman..

Actually by default, It Is. And also a Fireman.

Mr. Maher points out that US Governments and their Corporations embarked on a reckless adventure over the remains of the World’s Previous Empires

But Sadly Bill, Someone has to be in charge of the people of Earth or it will go to hell in a handcart.

All the Ultra Rich who own everything will agree with the question posed the old Midnight Oil song... “How do we sleep when our beds are burning”

Yes playing with fire is fun but it doesn’t look so attractive if there is a back draft.

The USA started a fire in Humanity  in 1900 when we dreamed of being a World Power

Just like Real Fires, Metaphysical Fires must be controlled, and not with Force but Soft Power and Foresight.

American Angst: Mr Robot

A rare clip from TV that shows the darkness of America's material society embeded in a convoluted story of self deception and delusion

Antarctic & Fiordland Center Christchurch

Posted 30th November 2015 to the Mountain Scene Newspaper Queenstown

The Purchase of the Antarctic Center in Christchurch by Real Journeys is a great chance to showcase Fiordland National Park and Real Journey’s Tourism Products

The Les Hutchins Trust Originally wanted to show case Fiordland in the Town of Te Anau but the numbers did not Work well... 

Ideally the Airport at Christchurch will be a much greater venue opportunity for such a venture
Especially if attached to the Antarctic Center... Parts of the Te Anau Glow Worm Caves would be easy enough to copy... Go back in time on the Steamer Tawera to the Milford Track, Relive the Excavation of the Homer Tunnel Tunnel, Experience Fiordland and Queenstown with 360 degree cinema screens.. Build a Scale Diorama of the Manapouri Power Project, Explore the Marine life in the Depths of Milford Sound.. ? A Prefect Opportunity to fulfill the founders dream... And why not ?

Osama's Grand Plan - On Track

Posted 17th November 2015 to Morning Report Radio New Zealand.

It seems Osama Bin Laden lives on thanks to the past actions of George W Bush
Christopher Hitchins once pointed out that Bin Laden was trained as an Engineer and knew how structures work
and where and when to strike them.

The USA was pretty much going to respond to the Terrorism in a predictable way
And the dysfunctional Political Structure of the Islamic World  Bin Laden would know that the West would get dragged into a
Impossible conflict with it’s historical enemy form the Crusades.

 Popular speculation is he was aiming for the destruction of the West
But some say he was simply wanting to topple the hated Saudi Royal Family..

as for George Bush his daddy was always pushing for a new world order!
Intentions or not at this point of the prospect of never ending Terrorism from the disaffected sons of Islam means we are inching towards those goals
Every passing hour. It is a Insane Game where we are literally & figuratively playing with Fire!

Political Anxiety in New Zealand

Posted 16th of November 2015 to the Southland Times Newspaper

 Good letter from C Findlater of Ryal Bush this weekend on the state of New Zealand’s Gross national Happiness which seems to be on the decline.
Really it has to be said Thatcherist Capitalism does work well if you are Very Lucky and have the means to stay lucky and don’t mind the anxiety that one day your luck will eventually run out.

 As for our Politicians... We don’t really get to pick them, they sort of pick themselves just like all people in power today they all pick each other and we get to endorse
Someone we didn’t want in the first place in an what is jokingly called an election...

I see the Chinese Leaders consider themselves as “administrators”  which is really all we need , the “Game Show” of our Western elections is  really O T T if you think about it.
It should be seen as a Job of Work, not a throne.
