With regard to Prime Minister Key and his National Party's Crafar farm selloff, here are some facts.
There is no chance of us buying land in China, so the 'Free Trade Agreement” is nonsense. National talk about the Overseas Investment Office as if it has nothing to do with Government.
If that is true, then why is leasing the land not being considered? Could it be that the people who wish to be our masters and not our servants, don't want that option?
Can we as a nation, seriously believe that John Key is here for the good of the country? Or could it be that he is actually here to assist the moneyed men of the world, who seem to have ultimate global power in their sights?
While this may sound farfetched, here is a rich man; so rich that he donates his PM's salary to charity. He tells us he is there for the good of the country and then sells us out to a rising power that is going to send all the profits and expertise back to its own land.
This is a man who could be earning far in excess of anything New Zealand could provide, and who has already told us that if we cast him off, it won't worry him.
Rest assured New Zealand, this is not somebody who will need to care about what happens to us and he is now telling us so, in no uncertain terms.
In view of the above, I have to say that I no longer trust him and I suggest to the rest of my countrymen and women, that they should give the matter some serious consideration. We have been made fools of by some of our politicians before this, but we have never been betrayed so blatantly as this man appears to be doing.
