who pay a five-figure subscription fee, represent most of the large business interests in the country. The
subscription fee funds the New Zealand Business Roundtable's activities.
The New Zealand Business Roundtable has the aim of contributing to the development of policies that
it believes reflect New Zealand's overall national interests. To this end, the organisation produces a
wide range of publications (books, reports, submissions) and undertakes other activities that
inform/influence public debate on key policy issues. Over the years the organisation has brought many
prominent speakers to New Zealand, including Bjørn Lomborg, Francis Fukuyama, Martin Wolf of the
Financial Times and Yegor Gaidar.
The NZBR strongly supported the controversial market-oriented reforms undertaken in New Zealand
during the 1980s and 1990s. These reforms were intended to play a role in lifting New Zealand's
economic growth-rate. The country as of the early 21st century boasts one of the lowest unemployment
rates in the OECD. However, the benefits of such reforms remain a point of contention among
economic commentators and members of the public. Also, other business organisations, such as the
Business Council for Sustainable Development and The New Zealand Institute, claim to present
alternative views in public debate.
The NZBR's market-based policy advocacy continues to reflect what it sees as world best
practice and often appear aligned with those advocated by international organisations such as the
OECD and the International Monetary Fund. Its policies also track overseas trends toward greater
use of the private sector and reduced regulation of business and enterprise.
Now after the currency attack in 1987, the business round table ( The New Right ) financed a
discussion paper to solve the current economic problems plaguing New Zealand at that time.
In 1983, Douglas became responsible for Labour Party economic policy. Throughout the year he
attempted to create an economic policy for the next government. Although his ideas were unorthodox
for a Labour Party MP, Douglas was not at this time a free market ideologue, but someone looking
for practical solutions to the problems of the economy.
He was greatly influenced by Doug Andrew from the Treasury, who had spent time working with the
World Bank, ( influenced by the IMF ) when he became a strong supporter of free market economics.
In June 1983, Andrew became the Treasury liaison with Labour and participated in the party’s debates.
He arranged for Douglas to meet non-government economists to draft an economic policy, the result of
which was the Economic Policy Package put together by Andrew, Douglas and economist Geoff Swier,
and was accepted by the caucus Economic Committee.
The package faced opposition when presented to the Labour Party Policy Council: an alternative
policy was written by Public Service Association economist Peter Harris and others. Neither policy had
enough support to be accepted, but Douglas had the advantage that caucus had the power to send any
policy it did not agree with back to the policy council.
Because of this the alternative policy had no chance of being accepted, and the Economic Policy
Package became the basis of Labour Party policy.
After the snap election of 1984, Douglas hastily began to reform the New Zealand economy, under the
government’s slogan of "We will do the right thing". The speed of the reforms can partially be
attributed to the ‘currency crisis’ that resulted from Robert Muldoon’s refusal to devalue the dollar
after being advised to do so by the incoming government. Labour had planned to devalue the dollar but
had not announced devaluation as part of its election policy - Douglas later stated that doing so
"...would wreak havoc in the foreign exchange market and invite a run on the New Zealand dollar" The
business community became aware of the government's plan and speculated against the dollar,

  The merchant of Venice and the cowards that fear  Enough enough already.     The Crimes; Lets cut straight to the chase.   The quote, which reads, “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize,” was quickly identified by some users online as a quote by Kevin Alfred Strom. “Congrats, you just quoted Kevin Alfred Strom, an American neo-Nazi, who first said those words in 1993,” responded  one user. Another commented, “This quote is actually from Kevin Alfred Strom, a white supremacist and Holocaust denier who plead guilty to possession of child pornography.”  and as this is from Reuters, a platform one can trust.    You dear reader are now  a Holocaust denying kiddy diddler.    But the quote still stands.    To learn who rules over you , simply look who you cannot criticize.  Well, turn around, take off any rose colored inhibitors and look back at major events in his...

it's them again boo boo, their history

It's a pretty known fact that the Jews are chosen people and the Jewish homeland is Israel and the Jews believe in the Old Testament and that the Old Testament is about Jews.     However almost none of these facts are true nowhere in the Bible does it call the Jews gods chosen people and only about 5% of the people in the old testament could be called "Jews".    So now that you have branded me an anti-semite we can begin;    The term "anti semite"  literally means against Shem or his descendants however being anti-jewish isn't the same as being anti-semitic.       So let me explain the Semites are the descendants of a man named Shem who would father some of the world's most renowned Empires and dynasties such as the Syrian Empire and Babylonian empires. So why is it "anti-semetic" to say something against the Jews?  Well, just like stealing your religion, your homes, your money, and businesses some Jews also love stealing names...
  The Word Jew Is NOT In The Bible But Blunt Publisher Manipulation Is C H U R C H R E F O R M S E R I E S By Biblicism Institute “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” – Mark Twain The word Jew is nowhere to be found in the good book The word “Jew” did not come into existence until the year 1775 A.D., whereas the occurrences in the bible took place from around 4000 B.C. to 70 A.D. WHO IS A JEW? Its modern connotation points to someone who follows and adheres to a faith similar to that of the Pharisees of Judah, but  is not  of the tribe and stock of Judah. In other words, Jews are people from nations other than the 12 Hebrew tribes who practice a religion known as  Judaism/Pharisaism , the doctrine of the Pharisees. It is much like those who believe in Christ and are called Christians, in honor of the One whom they follow, and their religion is known as Christianity, the doctrine of Christ. If one were to say th...
