New Zealand's Healthcare Recruitment Dilemma

New Zealand likes to recruit nurses and doctors in the UK. The numbers applying to emigrate have dropped off, and the below image explains why. NZ has a requirement for the workers to be fully jabbed. But, as you can see, 60-70% of nurses and doctors in the UK are NOT fully jabbed.

Carbon Hysteria

I found the following article interesting and funny. The person being interviewed thinks a new religion is emerging, based around ecology and saving the planet. It has become heresy to question climate change or its causes, and carbon has become the new evil doer. I talk about this new religion in my book Snob's Guide to New Zealand. 

Here's the interview: https://internationalman.com/articles/doug-casey-on-why-the-carbon-hysteria-is-a-huge-threat-to-your-personal-freedom-and-financial-wellbeing/

Look, this is all about politics and money, but disguised as a religious movement, which is quite clever. There’s no question that Greenism is being promoted as a new religion.

Christianity is a dead duck in Europe, and it’s dying in North America. But people need some type of religion, a replacement for Christianity, to hold on to.

People will be encouraged to treat their taxes as tithes to wash away their sins against Mother Nature—much the way they tithed the church to expunge their sins in the Middle Ages. It’s an exact analogy. They’ll buy “carbon credits” as an analog for building cathedrals and monasteries.

Their ideal world is digitized, downsized, dehumanized, depopulated and generally feudal in nature. If they succeed in imposing their ideal system on the world, we will see millions starved to death by their war on food and farmers. Thank God the farmers in Europe have awakened to the real purpose of the climate scam, which is to destroy their livelihoods and their ability to feed the world. If these globalist scum succeed, most of us will not live to see 2040. And those who manage to survive in their dehumanized, top-down, control-grid society will be either rich or poor, with very little in between. This is a war on the middle class, on traditional values, on the value of work and the nuclear family.

Super Bowl LVIII

Being a sucker for punishment, I endured yet another Super Bowl. I still don't fully understand the game, but things are now a bit clearer for me. 

I appreciate defense, and I could see that this contest was one where defense played a major part. Then when each play of the ball occurred faster, rather than be interrupted by timeouts, the game tended to come alive and become interesting.

Some aspects of play do still annoy me; when the ball is kicked off, and the kicker puts the ball out over the end of the field, that should be a penalty back at halfway or something. Instead, the receiving team start at 25 yards automatically. The other thing that annoys are incomplete plays. Both intentionally kicking out over the end of the field and throwing the ball out intentionally should be actively discouraged IMHO. Keep the ball in play, make the players play.

The end of the game was fitting though, with Hardman receiving the ball for the winning play. He was left wide open and the Chiefs quarterback made a skilful pass to him. 

And I did note Travis Kelce bullying the coach. Someone has got to talk to him and get him to pull his head in. That kind of behaviour is totally unacceptable.

Anyway, I'm sticking with both kinds of Rugby; Union and League football. They both offer more continuous play and are a real test of skill and stamina.

LIVE Reaction to Putin Interview

After all the hype, the Putin interview was a bit disappointing.

Why would Putin give an interview? Possibly to shore up his support at home, and to remind his backers that he's still the boss. 

I'm sure Tucker Carlson made a fortune through his platform, people will have paid to join so they can be the first to see it. But for Carlson, he's damaged his reputation with all these softball questions.

If there is anything to be taken out of this, it is that we get to see the different viewpoints, East vs West. Putin relies on his version of history, however his interviewer from the West doesn't have enough knowledge to dig deeper, and to possibly reveal Putin as just advancing his own agenda. So, we'll never really know what drives Putin. I think Oliver Stone did a much better job back in 2017, for what it's worth.

 

Russell Brand on the Vladimir Putin Interview

We are soon to hear from Vladimir Putin by way of the interview conducted by Tucker Carlson. Here's Russell Brand on the subject, he asks important questions:

King Charles III Cancer

Buckingham Palace have announced that King Charles has cancer. A few days ago he went into hospital for a medical procedure due to his enlarged prostate, but they claim that during that visit another area of concern was discovered and this was not benign. Therefore, he is suspending all duties while he undergoes treatment (please see the announcement below).

Is anyone seeing a pattern here? An announcement is made that appears to be everyday, that later turns out to be much more serious. The Palace is gradually breaking the news to us.

Another recent case is that of Catherine, The Princess of Wales. The Palace announced she was admitted to the same hospital as Charles, in her case for abdominal surgery. But she was not seen arriving, nor leaving, and her family did not visit while she was said to be in the hospital. Where is she?

Ukraine and Russia

Here's an intelligent conversation about where Ukraine will end up. Russia is now stronger and by contrast, NATO and its allies have weakened themselves.

 

Steven Adams Traded to the Houston Rockets

Steven Adams is one lucky guy. He's been traded from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Houston Rockets, in return for Victor Oladipo and three second round draft picks. Both players are coming back from injury and haven't played this season. 

This is a good move for Adams, as Houston can actually win titles, while the Grizzlies are perennial cellar dwellers and have never won a title. Houston gain a good defensive player, something they need, while the Grizzlies save money and can pay a bit more for players they think they need.

As a Rockets fan, I'm really pleased to see Adams with my team. If his knee doesn't recover, he may be close to retirement, but touch wood that he comes out fired up next season.
