FACING TRUTHS
Posted October 16, 2025
So here we are half way through October and the News Media are already announcing how many shopping days are left before Christmas as though we need to start planning and shopping now. I know last week Hazel was starting to look for bargains for the Grandchildren. I was wondering where the money might be coming from. I looked at the bank accounts last night and had to wonder what value we might have got for that $174.00 which was a surprise deduction from somewhere I don’t shop. I know I have to arrange for one or two areas of raised garden and with planting season on us it seems I will have to search deep into the dark corners of the money machine to make this happen.
We have just completed the Local Government Elections and I can’t say I manage much enthusiasm for any of the candidates, them all saying almost all the same rubbish and none striking any sort of spark related to concerns, with the worse of the people of the lot standing for the Regional Councils where they have no say over what happens in the regions because there everything is all controlled by Central Government who live in fear of all the big international pressure groups about environment anyway and they haven’t worked out they absolutely have no control over the environment because that Control is in the hands of our God in any event. We recently cut our Country’s CO2 farm emission targets by half for some sort of joke, and we have the trouble of growing enough feed to feed the whole World which is a stupid idea in the first place. Yet almost all plants require CO2 to thrive and many people growing food and flowers do so in Glasshouses because they have to increase CO2 in the atmosphere to grow or ripen their crop. Of course CO2 is an essential gas for human life as without it we cannot effectively operate the human body to enable us to breathe out and watching a loved one in Hospital trying to breathe out when they are pumping them up with Oxygen pretending they are keeping them alive and all they are doing is just forcing the body to have to convulse trying to breathe out with those muscles which are requiring CO2 to function, not working which is why they are in Hospital anyway. So a lack of CO2 for some is a problem. I wonder if science is actually the problem we face because we now have just too much of it due to extensive education which isn’t working now. It’s very traumatic watching a loved one trying to breathe out when the body just isn’t working but the doctors keep pumping it up oxygen.
Then we have had the drama about replacing the Chairman/person of the Treasury Department which is one of those totally pointless Government Departments where the staff have no actual work of any value to the Country but where they command healthy Salaries and have generous Tenure in their employment Contracts. The only pretence is that the Minister of Finance could very easily do the job but the Minister having the Treasury looking over their shoulder is a ‘nice to have’ so there is always someone else to blame for the economic mess we wind up in.
So going back to the Local Government Elections. I excluded voting for every person from my voting form who confessed to have a degree in Economics. Yes I have read the textbooks as part of my formal so called education. Economics is simply the religion of money and the return of Jesus is part of the only religion on Earth that has any value to the course of the human endeavour. The religion of Economics is nothing more than the phoney control of human aspirations without any sort of actual control over future events unless manufactured by deceit and prophecy which is the same as getting a speeding ticket when the cop just guessed the speed you were traveling at and so wrote you up for Careless Use so nothing can be proven just their word against your need at the time. Economics is simply the careless use of monetary policy and that is best left in the hands of a housewife who has to make the family budget work, year in and year out. So she goes off to work to help with the household finances mostly because the Government can’t manage the Country they are elected to do. And when housewives have to go to work to manage the budget, the family loses control of the minds and lives of the children leaving us with a delinquent society where children grow into adults without any standards or moral behaviours which would help them create a stable loving society with strong a family ethos’s when they become adults. The result is we finish up with City folk making up rules for the countryside, who make up the standards for life, as we haven’t the brains connected to our thought processes to help us make good intelligent decisions about how we live and work which if we are given the truth about everything we can do things together that do work for everyone. We now have rules to live by which are made by groups who just don’t understand. So we now have green unhealthy people in our political system who have not much idea as to what families have to do to make ends meet and live in safety in our society and we have to provide for these unworthy people on top of our ordinary taxation. Many of these pointless people seem to find themselves on the wrong side of the law and being judged by those who have an Office to make judgments or laws for others. I watch the News to see if there is anything of interest going on and the news is smothered with pointless rubbish which leaves us cold and without information which helps us apart from the weather forecast which often has correct information, provided tomorrow is just another day where God withheld his hand and hasn’t sent us a damaging day for our communities, but we are still in shock following land slips and earthquakes and of course floods which we are told is sea level rise and those of us who live near the coast know there is no such thing as sea level rise but the planet goes through changing times day by day and providing we live in a caring society we somehow all get through. One more word on Regional Councils is, that when we all looked after our land and kept the rivers clean rather than having to rely on elected nobodies managing these resources as we have now, we have end to end flooding, season after season and no solution in sight except for more and more earthworks which seem to always leave us donkey deep in last years mistakes with Insurance Companies hiking up premiums because they are city folk trying to understand what is happening and using Economics to control the outflow of money which relates to life itself and sometimes just greed. It’s like trying to work out how many days of the week start with the letter “T”. I like to start each day with a S***, Shave and Shower so my every day starts with three ’S’s. But there are only 2 days which start with T and they are Today and Tomorrow and so every day of the week starts with a T. So now what are you going to do? That’s right divide a month into weeks and give each day of a week a different name and when you get old you are now trying to remember is today Sunday, or is that Tomorrow. It’s okay to be confused because that’s what you are required to be and if you think you have a grip you are just a problem for everyone else.
