The [Hated] Baileys – Speaking Truth
In this post I share a little more from the Baileys, for two reasons 1. To me they speak the truth and 2. Because one of their relatives poo pooed them, when I discussed a legal matter with him. It is my take that people like these two, with the balls to take idiots on, need support. I give it to them here. Enjoy. … [Read more...] about The [Hated] Baileys – Speaking Truth
LoS –> LoG –> An IFTB [Re]Search Tool

Court Transcript Proves LINZ’ Bad Faith
Yesterday I appeared before a Hamilton High Court judge and presented my defence in an ongoing saga with LINZ, my landlord here at Matapuna. Basically LINZ attempted to hoodwink the court telling them that I was a 'bad boy' and they wanted me gone from their land. I claimed that a Summary Judgment based on partial facts was not the way to deal with the public and that the truth … [Read more...] about Court Transcript Proves LINZ’ Bad Faith

More from Karen Ngatai: Taumarunui’s Non-lawyer
I share here an update to a post I did a year ago exposing the nature of Taumarunui's legal representative, ex-Deputy Mayor, Karen Ngatai, a woman I called "bad, just bad". Since then many have warned me about her - violence, backstabbing and so on, all par-for-the-course for a seasoned dirt-fighter. I share and discuss what I call a "dopey" formal communication from this … [Read more...] about More from Karen Ngatai: Taumarunui’s Non-lawyer

Meurant, Booth & de Sturler on the Crewes
A recent new friend heard that I had written a few books and he asked me a truckload of questions about the Crewe Murders. Not always connecting with those under my age, I asked him how old he was. Over 70 means that he was around when they happened. It was a pleasure talking to someone who knew the significance of these murders. Here's a few commentators' comments, Pat Booth, … [Read more...] about Meurant, Booth & de Sturler on the Crewes

RIP: Declan Curran, September 2022
Declan Curran (aka Agent Kiwi) went to meet his Maker last week. His body was cremated by Dil Funeral Services on the North Shore and his sister Joanne has taken over his affairs as his NOK.

3. BBX is Busted – Working it Out
Credibility is a lifestyle thing, it’s not an event or a task that you switch on like an actor. Building credibility is a mission but is successful from time, not necessarily long periods of time but certain sequences of events that build over time. Conmen groom their victims by fast talk but also by gaining trust, even when it is not due. In this third post in my … [Read more...] about 3. BBX is Busted – Working it Out
2. War Erupts Within BBX Barter

My take is that the questions pretty much … [Read more...] about 2. War Erupts Within BBX Barter
Understanding Systemic Corruption
"Obonoxious" is the global response to corruption, but using recent examples from engagements I explain how systemic corruption gains a foothold, then takes over, gaining power and then I go into the only real way to deal with it constructively. The way of the Master is NOT easy; nor is it popular, and it costs a lot more than many are prepared to pay, but it does deal to it … [Read more...] about Understanding Systemic Corruption
