still Day 23

The plan was one post a day, but Blair rang me mid morning, and I'm running this race to win, whatever that means.

In my school days I was more suited to longer distance than sprints.

This mayoral run is their mad dash at the end of a forty year famine from my perspective.

'Their'?

Should I have given my link to 'them'? 

 Should I have held back from sharing with 'that sort'?
Absolutely not, because 'they' are the minority.
I have nothing to fear from 'those' people....do I?

When 'they' rang me, I thought, "oh leave us alone. I'm busy with the lambs."

Still reading Blair?

Dear Blair,
I would really like to get alongside you. You are my fellow Kiwi and I love you. 

As recently as two years ago, saying that "I love you" would have seemed odd, a bit over the top, too revealing of my vulnerability. Kind of mothersomely in the wrong place & time.

Whose vulnerability?
Whose inappropriate behaviour?
You're the one with the power. You get our money to spend chasing who knows what.

You, Blair, cause great anxiety to our whole community.

I would love to invite you for a cuppa, but I can't. This local body election time, on the heels of your editors' abuse of Kiwi citizens over many months, demands of you a fair action.

Kind regards, barely
Kia ora, for our sake
Jack

For the record, my fellow aum's, I belong to no group outside of my nucleus family. I haven't belonged anywhere since they trespassed me from church. (Darryl the bossy man won't let me say which one.)

That's not quite true. OK then, after three years of longing to get back in, because, you know, I quite like that feeling of belonging too, and you cannot not belong in Church, if you were born into it, until you yourself decide that you don't belong, and after trying again to get alongside them and being seriously threatened....since that time, I have not belonged anywhere except with my nucleus family.

Getting back to our nation - I know about the various push backs from individuals and groups of New Zealanders.
Good on you!
And, thank you.

At the PP, I said "thank you" to somebody and he bemoaned the fact that 'thank you' was now being used for our neo normal of resistance.
'Thank you' used to be for if a stranger handed you a cuppa you'd just paid for.

To date, throughout my life, I have always been the sort to do my own pushing back, solo. 

Nobody to listen to my concerns? It wasn't for lack of trying.

Open letter to NZ Police and all Kiwis everywhere, regarding Mike Bailey's wife and New Zealand's state of mind I have never harassed anybody in my life. In fact, you know that I myself suffered dreadfully from beyond harassment (the Rizzi deal) and took it like a trooper. You also know that you seriously let the community down regarding the Rizzi deal. Oh well, I am still your friend in general. Sometimes our biggest gang is just plain stupid. Other times, corrupt, like Coster saying he was hindsight proud of police thuggery while ending our February Parliament Protest. I'll bet most within our tribe think he's an emotional retard. I received a silly letter from you, warning me against who knows what, except that I do know very well about the words of the Harassment Act you kindly provided for my information. I know about that, because our systems also let the community down when I sought closure to the Church's abuse regarding the Rizzi deal. I am not...

Cannot not? Yes, can't not fight back Not all things are possible without a fight They say that insanity is doing the same things over and over and hoping for a different result to the usual bad outcome. My long term gentleness and acceptance of slander upon my life, no matter how personally damaging that was, never produced anything good for our community. Anne McCracken, please wake up. And stop Bailey's harassing. Anyone else? Just stop her. Our country is corrupt, right down to Anne McCracken. When do I get a turn on our access community radio?

Over and Out I really want this blog to wind up. In Summary - I am sick of the corruption in our beautiful country. Who are the trustees of Radio Southland who destroy speech and thought? Darren Ludlow Rach Bailey  Peter Thompson of SBS Sheree Carey of Chamber of Commerce Anne McCracken of women's clubs,   and others who add secrecy to silence. I must now record that an old friend Val Johnston ignored me regarding her friend Anne McCracken's involvement.  And, regarding another matter of corruption - Invercargill's Stephen Aldridge, a man I cannot think about, got a mention within my campaign diary. I must also add that new acquaintances Ron and Rosalie Schischka, retired Baptist ministers, prefer deceit to the truth. I told these Kiwis enough is enough.  Ron's private musings?  "You're lovely". Hmm. We have a sick country. I think that the whole issue of corruption politically is not a matter of one big lie. It's a matter of myriads of little lies...
