Dr Smith’s placebos . . .

Wednesday, August 22, 2012

I hope Nick Smith’s course of placebo injections on the topic of fracking has come to an end because it has become embarrassing. How can this man consider that wanting to protect your community from a risky mining technology is an extreme stance? Maybe it’s time that those pushing oil and gas exploration in this country just admit there will be collateral damage to our small towns and we should just suck it up like soldiers and do it for the good of the economy.

John Key, Nick Smith, Jerry Brownlee -- take a good hard look at their photos and what do you see . . . . Our political classes, aka the Comedians, who are the clients of the London and Wall St central bankers.
They want us to suck it up like soldiers all right but I seriously doubt if the good of the NZ economy is on their mind.
Now, why do I keep thinking all they care about is a "Smashing Good Time". Heh Heh.
