High Tech heats up von Neumann Bottleneck as do questions on Official Offsets incentives Artificial intelligence opens up a refrigeration future for New Zealand not seen since the development of frozen meat exports. The reason is that artificial intelligence processing hubs require cooling on a similar scale to the nation’s meat packing houses known as freezing works. International data processing hub operators are prospecting in New Zealand for these cooling sites. A futures and trade-offs market is developing as global companies prepare for the quantum increase in demand for accelerated coolant for the circuitry hubs. Extra cooling is required everywhere…

All Party Global Acclaim Quest Swamps Pending New Zealand General Election Distracted, bemused and somewhat entertained by the antics and pratfalls of its parliamentarians the wider electorate is successfully diverted from the hiding in plain sight fact that the pending general election has little to do with them at all. All the main parties are already fixed in their posture which is an international one centred on year zero and they are all determined to camouflage its damage to the productive economy. Official figures reveal that attaining northern hemisphere goals will cost the New Zealand taxpayer somewhere in the range…

Steely Campaign Start Reveals shared National-Labour Constituency New Zealand’s general election has taken on characteristics of a crusade and it was hardly surprising that its start can be traced to the fiery furnaces of an Australian steel works. Here, government leaders (pictured) with hard hats and hard-line vote harvesting intentions gathered with the steelmakers to consecrate the government’s donation of at least $140 million to assist the works achieve zero goals. This episode in which taxpayers subsidised a flourishing international steelmaker which records annual profits of several billion dollars might have been greeted with gasps of amazement, especially as it…

A New Zealand National Party Farmer Candidate Speaks His Mind Mike Butterick is remarkable for having sharply identified the flaws or “own goals” as he describes them in the Emissions Trading Scheme and even more remarkable for publicly pointing them out. Why, he asks, is New Zealand hell-bent on “restricting its export income?” This is the income that pays for the “expectations” in health, education, and welfare the “teachers, nurses, and police…..” The ETS, emissions trading scheme, he describes as inflationary in that can “only add costs.” At the heart of the problem is that dividends are paid out only…

Gender Definer Revealed Real Urban Mind Set in Oceania It might have been coincidence but gender arbiter Posie Parker’s incendiary visit to New Zealand was followed by a series of political shifts that starkly revealed a realignment of loyalties that share one single characteristic which is that the institutions involved shy away from discussing them. Miss Parker’s visit illuminated the intense urban focus on identity sensitivities centred on race and gender at the expense of mundane matters such as the cost of living. New Zealand’s Labour-led government nearly six years ago inserted itself into Great Power scale moral movements by…

Australia-New Zealand one way love affair aflame as No-Hopers remittances extinct Drenched in the victim-oppressor theme of their own country’s politics New Zealanders of all stripe have woken up to the knowledge that their country is internationally the most bountiful source of taxpayer-funded remittances to those of its “family” it would prefer lived in another country. The reprise of the colonial era system of the established dynasties keeping their feckless and wastrel family members at arm length by funding them to live in the antipodes has been institutionally reprised. What is known is that from the 20 years from 1999…

Why was Ventilation machinery Inside gassy Mine instead of Outside it? Pike River Families access to official documents relating to the mine detonation and the death of 29 miners could shine light onto the mystery relating to the ventilation equipment and its associated electrics being installed at the bottom of the mine instead of outside the workings. The Royal Commission in the aftermath of the Pike River mine tragedy described the internal position of the ventilator as a “world first.” Experts consulted during the inquiry constantly returned to the conundrum relating to why the ventilation equipment was housed within the…

Highly qualified forestry scientist Minister failed to weather storm Members of Parliament of all stripes have discovered a common purpose in diverting public attention from the havoc wrought by Cyclone Gabrielle in Hawkes Bay. The reason is that having touted climate change as one of the great issues of our time, even the greatest, they did nothing to implement the change needed for climate change- ---and continue to do so. An example is the Helensville power generating site ardently sponsored by the government and which is scheduled to occupy a loop in the Kaipara River which flooded last year. The…

Riotous republic less apology demanding for Royal first tour than braving Commonwealth politics The fact that the first foreign state visit by King Charles was characterised by an apology was hardly a surprise. The surprise was that the apology was from France’s president Emmanuel Macron saying he was sorry for the postponement of the visit due to disruptions in his own country most notably in the specially-selected Bordeaux which was once part of England. The significance of the reverse apology disguised how Palace advisers have at last achieved a firm grip on the royal projection of influence. These counsellors correctly…

Politicians are Diplomats Soft Shoe Shuffling a Plantation Cult Unquestioning adoption of northern hemisphere climate creeds by the main political parties in New Zealand threatens the nation economically and environmentally as the cyclone season pushes south. The most recent of these transatlantic doctrines is the one to carpet the nation with the shallow-rooted, fast growing, North American tree species Pinus radiata. The reason that the introduction of this short-lived species is under intense acceleration is that it is deemed the most instantly-realisable counter weight crop to absorb the trace gas carbon dioxide. The fear by the main political parties of…

Cultural Safety and No-Go Belief Systems Meant Storm Severity, Clouded Response An official single-issue focus on forestry in order to conform to an international climatic regime blinded regulators to the compounding threat of logging leaving in its wake mounds of debris to be washed away in bridge-busting waves. Since it took office over five years ago climate has been the proclaimed centrepiece of all the Labour government’s objectives and along with it forestry as the instrument of sequestration and related offsets. It was the “tool” of the nation being on the “right side of history.” Mesmerised by the climatic taboo…
