the problem with patched gangs is they’re always so easy to identify. if you’re in the pākehā mafia you get euphemistically referred to with terms like “property developer”, “lawyer”, “businessman”, “investor”, etc. instead

Given that previous justifications for lack of coverage of David Seymour's association to Tim Jago rested on Seymour's claim that he didn't know Jago very well, this should immediately ring alarm bells and have journalists asking some serious questions

fun thing they’ve started doing in wellington is taking names off of floor listings. who has 3 floors of a building they share with the forestry and mining cartel that’s opposite the TPU and wellington club buildings, and wants to keep it secret? who knows

thank you for 200 subscribers on EXIT FROM AFFCO so far. it's honestly a lot more than i expected for 8 months in, unbelievable that close to 40% of the entire NZ population is now subscribed

of course "prominent NZers" get their own version of moving to australia for better opportunities, but those opportunities are escaping 18 sex abuse charges and getting to holiday in the philippines

when the news broke last year, multiple groups came together to deliver a letter to the mosque that would have been targeted by ronndog keefe, alongside flowers and a paua scarf. "may you feel the embrace of collective care and strength around you in this time."

while epstein's NZ plans were relatively shortlived, it's interesting to consider what attracted krauss to the country in the first place, and what an epstein-funded university institute in otago would have meant

View full thread

in emails between krauss and otago university he later forwards to epstein, he discusses setting up an institute where him and his soon-to-be second wife would be employed, with initial private funding provided by an unnamed financier (epstein, who he hadn't asked yet)

krauss sends one more desperate email to epstein in november, asking for word on his decision around the institute, with epstein replying: "re new zealand„ I can’t get behind it."

krauss tries to confirm plans a few weeks later ("3 interesting days of talking, and viewing"). however, sadly (for krauss, luckily for us) epstein blows him off to visit dubai

in 2010, while visiting NZ on a speaking tour, scientist lawrence krauss emailed his associate (and long-time patron) epstein about trying to get epstein to meet a "university president". krauss was then visiting otago uni

this was apparently from an earlier tranche but epstein was in talks back in 2012 with auckland uni professor and nabokov researcher brian boyd to pay him to write his "wish list" book on lolita

don't know if this has been previously reported, but it seems that brice and karen gordon, the NZ couple who managed epstein's zorro ranch, were also managing little st. james

2010 email to epstein: "[REDACTED] is sick at home... New Zealand looked cute today) [REDACTED] is 19 but I look younger than her) I like [REDACTED] more... Will ask her out this week)"

epstein to google co-founder larry page: "when you are next on your island give me a call and come visit. I would like to take you up on your invitation to test your new zealand catamaran. next step?" the boat was bought from NZ businessman douglas myers

collins is stepping down, but that doesn't mean she's done. she's positioned herself to remain a crucial node (and likely lobbyist) in the nascent NZ mil-tech industry she's helped build up over this term. read her speech notes from a 2024 NZ Defence Industry Assocation meeting below
