The New Zealand Business Roundtable (NZBR)

series of economic problems brought on by changes in the global economy, many of which directly
affected the country, such as Britain’s entry in to the European Economic Community in 1973. New
Zealand was rating badly for living standards and economic performance compared to OECD averages:
in 1980 it had slipped from being in the top five OECD countries to 19th Roger Douglas, who would
later become finance minister, went so far as to say that the country stood “on the brink of economic
ruin”.
Prior to 1985 the New Zealand Dollar was controlled centrally by the Reserve Bank of New
Zealand at a fixed exchange rate to the United States Dollar. In early 1984 the Deputy Governor of the
Reserve Bank, Roderick Deane, became concerned that the dollar had become significantly overvalued
and was vulnerable to currency speculation on the financial markets in the event of a "significant
political event"
Media speculation followed a leak that an incoming Labour government would be likely to
significantly devalue the dollar upon election. The Reserve Bank advised the Prime Minister, Sir
Robert Muldoon, that the dollar should be devalued. Muldoon ignored the advice, owing to his belief
that it would hurt poorer New Zealanders in the medium term. In June 1984 Muldoon announced a
snap election to be held in July. This caused an immediate run on the dollar, as currency speculators
believed a Labour win would mean devaluation. Despite a deepening foreign exchange crisis, Muldoon
continued to refuse to devalue, forcing the Reserve Bank to take some extraordinary steps, such as the
temporary closing the forex markets for a short period of time to slow down devaluation.
On 14 July, Muldoon and National lost the general election, and the Fourth Labour government was
sworn in on 26 July.
By constitutional convention, between election day and the return of the writs for the election, an
outgoing caretaker government defers to the wishes of an incoming government. On Sunday 17 July,
following a meeting between Reserve Bank officials (Reserve Bank Governor Spencer Russell, deputy
Roderick Deane, and Treasury Secretary Bernie Galvin) and the incoming government at Auckland
International Airport, the incoming government requested that the dollar be devalued.
The outgoing Prime Minister Sir Robert Muldoon refused. The foreign exchange market was closed the
following day. In an impromptu television interview with Richard Harman that evening, Muldoon
stated he had been asked to devalue the currency by the incoming government but was not going to.
Prime Minister elect David Lange responded with an interview of his own. He stated: "This nation is at
risk. That is how basic it is. This Prime Minister outgoing, beaten, has, in the course of one television
interview tried to do more damage to the New Zealand economy than any statement ever made. He has
actually alerted the world to a crisis. And like King Canute he stands there and says everyone is wrong
but me".
This provoked a further crisis in the foreign exchange markets - when the exchange was finally opened
on 19 July, millions of foreign exchange dollars left the country as currency speculators expected a
devaluation of the New Zealand dollar. Lange later remarked "We actually were reduced to asking our
diplomatic posts abroad how much money they could draw down on their credit cards! That is the
extent of the calamity that had been ground into us by the briefings that we'd got".
This crisis allowed The business round table with name such as Roger Douglas Roger Kerr , Alan

  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...
