Is The Greta Thunberg Show A Black Magic Ritual?
By VJM
It’s impossible to go on the Internet right now without seeing the face of Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg.

“Its not perfect but its the best existing model we have.”
By NZB3
“Encouraging non-voting is encouraging cynicism aka helplessness.” It’s pretty bad form in my opinion for a moderator to have their say in a thread before locking it. I assume that this is not what happened in this case and that this topic is a fit one to debate and discuss with mutual respect. What I […]

The Rambo Saga
By NZB3
The Rambo Saga is told at last after 37 years and I’ve seen all 5 films now. For most of the time we didn’t even know it was a saga but this scene (left) showed otherwise. The film makers are not just out to make a sort of ‘America: Fuck Yeah!’ foreign intervention extravaganza but […]

1769: Discovery of White Island
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
On October 1st, 1769, Captain Cook discovered White Island and named it. Controversial these days is to point out that we Westerners discovered anything due to the fact that many of the features were already known and named by Maoris.

By Anarchist History of New Zealand
The so-called “Waste of Daylight”. Who will “Save” it? “Sunshine destroys germs and raises the vitality” “..of one of his book keepers, “a capable fellow” who had been “wasting away” with an undiagnosed illness: “Poor fellow his life has been lived without sunshine.

A recent United Nations gathering saw the two new political extremes face off against each other. These extremes represent the two competing sides in the great struggle of our time, which is not royalty versus the nobles and neither is it the capitalists versus the workers.

By Anarchist History of New Zealand
2008: Kiwibank adversing struck its chord framing the bank as heroic underdog taking back the country from foreign invaders using trench coats, fedora hats, and Morse code.

Weapons of Mass Psychological Destruction
By VJM
The phrase “Weapons of Mass Destruction” evokes a special horror, with thoughts of Hiroshima and the incineration of a hundred thousand people in a matter of heartbeats. The geopolitics of today have made the use of such weapons impossible, but this only affects the physical realm. In the psychological realm, weapons of mass destruction are […]

Aesop was a slave, allowing him to record for history the stories of Slave Culture Classical Greece. Aesop’s Fables reads to me as […]
