Luxon is the latest in a long line of New Zealand politicians of every stripe to be talking about and carrying out sales of public assets. Only fools sell the house to pay for the groceries.
Why do they praise asset-sales? Why have they done so much of it? Telecoms, electricity, Ministry of Works, etc., etc., etc., a long list of public assets that had been paid for and set up by the people, were owned by the people, and run under democratic control. True democracy at work.
But Amwreckia (an apt spelling) regards that as 'socialism', which to its ruling-class is next door to Marxist/Leninist/Maoist communism. And because Amwreckia controls the IMF and the World Bank and Western banking, when the New Zealand government runs a deficit, as it is encouraged to, and therefore must borrow, it is then compelled to obey the rules of the IMF etc., rules which 'encourage' (read enforce) privatisation. We are forced to sell our public assets into private hands.
Those rule-makers are hubristic pirates. They should fly the Skull-and-Crossbones. They are worse than pirates. They turn fake money--i.e., dollars invented by the Federal Reserve (which is owned by a conglomerate of powerful Amwreckian banks)--into real money by buying assets and Amwreckian government bonds. They thus turn their fakery into real assets, our assets. Then what used to be done, for example, by our Ministry of Works, is now done by the private sector. Which returns a profit, at our expense. Seventy-six percent of Downer's shares are owned by Amwreckians.
Cute trick. We then pay the price, for ever, in the increased cost of our telecoms, our electricity, our roads... It is Amwreckian regime-change, on the sly.
Amwreckia also hates public health systems such as ours and the British NHS. So it is nibbling away at ours. Now more than a third of Kiwis have health insurance. Amwreckia wants health to be a profit-centre, the profit of insurance companies and private hospitals, not a public service, not a service that is founded on the principle that the health of the individual is the health of the nation and the health of the nation is the health of the individual. The only dividend of the health system should be public health, not private dollars.
Inflation, which is only caused by government over-spending, is another weapon by which the Amwreckians ruin and capture a country, along with its national debt. Ditto the USD exchange-rates and fees charged, built on the fact that Amwreckia made its dollar the international reserve currency, of course by the usual thuggish manipulation.
New Zealand should join BRICS, the system being set up at high speed to put an end to that thuggery. Amwreckia made its dollar into a weapon, but now country after country is saying, 'We don't want your weapon in our wallets, we want only money, our money, money we can trust, and we no longer trust your currency because we no longer trust you.'
Luxon's version of stupidly worshipping Amwreckian hegemony has become so stupid that he attends meetings of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation. He should buy an atlas. We are in the South Pacific.
