Nobody's really noticing it but there's an attempt by TRA to take over the politics of Dunedin. Sophie Barker is in their corner & the media are doing their best to get her into the Mayoral role. And her boyfriend is Jim O'Malley (DCC Councilor) who has just announced his independent run for Dunedin in the National elections.

Nobody is commenting on their connections to TRA activism. And Jim's connections to the Pharmaceutical industry (he's an insider). They are related. In fact the media are also not telling anyone that the two of them are partners.

Jim's claiming that he's to the left of Labour btw. Not sure what he means by that but I suspect it's more to do with identity politics than equity for all. Also he mentions a new party on the left aiming for 2033.
I try and keep away from Facebook. Havn't been on it since last year's local elections. And being banned from Twitter (yet again) I'm not picking up the news.
In chapel this morning I was reading the Ten Commandments as usual and was thinking how the fifth commandment to honour our fathers and mothers seemed to sit awkwardly with the first four.
Then I realised that it was my parents who conceived me, gave me life, and sent me forth into this world. Dad was a good man. I felt safe when he was around. Mum loved me and believed in me although it must have been a challenge at times. She carried me within her body, nurtured me, fed me with her body and blood and ultimately delivered me at the risk of her own life.
Now as an old man, long after they have both passed, I think dad would approve of me, and mum would be proud of me.
How else can I honour them except by living the best life I possibly can? Of course I fail and fall short, yet as long as I breathe and their memory lives within me, I will continue to repent, and never stop trying to live for them.
There is no room for unrelenting hatred in our hearts if we are to love our neighbours as we must love ourselves.
I pity those who defile and traduce their bodies, but I can never condone their actions nor can they expect forgiveness until they repent.
The same for violence.
Those who resort to violence in pursuit of their ends will in turn be destroyed.
Feeling so sad about this... I felt like we were making traction but the TRA's are making it clear that they will work hard to squash the truth
Was thinking of going. Is Tomato boy going to turn up at Court?
Technically, he's still scheduled, but it may yet be changed.

Do you mean that despite the best attempts it's not gaining traction, or that it's being done so sneakily that no one's noticing?

Oh, how unusual for the media to say quiet about that!

Ha! Be afraid Dunners.

The 'Let Women Speak' rally is in St Patrick's Square from 1 - 3pm on the 20th.
Can't get there, all the one way tickets are $300 +
Hope that it goes well for everyone.
The flights are horrendously expensive. Ours were $500 return for each of us.
It looks like there will be a good turn out, let's hope violent men are prevented from attending too
Thanks.
Yes, they are scared of hearing the truth...
