Western media continues to be complicit even as Israeli atrocities get slightly more coverage. In NZ more details come out about the FBI office - who is leading the country when security details are actively hidden from the PM? And there are serious questions to be asked about what’s happening at the Reserve Bank.This episode’s co-hostsPhilip, KyleTimestamps0:00 Opening 2:10 Israeli Atrocities and Western Media20:42 FBI Office29:48 Lost Optics34:54 Failing to Appeal38:46 The Reserve Bank53:12 Supermarkets1:00:54 ClosingIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

This week we discussed austerity and attacks on the public sector. This government has declared war on teachers and healthcare workers, alongside renters, young people and the working class in general. Now even the big business community is noticing. On top of that, establishment media is isolating issues and blaming young people for not having enough kids.This episode’s co-hostsPhilip, Simone, Stephanie & PmaxTimestamps0:00 Opening 1:57 News Priority11:00 Self Destructive Austerity14:30 Teachers in NZ21:55 What Happens During a Strike24:50 More Babies31:16 No Take Only Throw45:55 ClosingsIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

Greens coleader Chlöe Swarbrick was kicked out of the house this week for speaking against the genocide in Gaza. Meanwhile NZ media aligns itself against teachers and healthcare workers to support the lies of the National coalition government in increasingly overt ways.This episode’s co-hostsKyle, PhilipTimestamps0:00 Opening 1:44 Spineless15:10 Media Bias25:38 Palestinian Journalists 28:40 Royal Commission38:55 Teacher Payrates42:55 Losing Money Over Text48:18 ACT Lead Government1:00:30 ClosingsIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

Voter Suppression, RNZ failing to report on genocide and the FBI have popped their horrid little head up in NZ’s Parliament. Things aren’t looking good as NZ’s right-wing government hurtles towards overt vassal status.https://johnnyfilmo.substack.com/p/the-arc-of-history-is-long-does-itThis episode’s co-hostsKyle, Simone, Pmax, JohnnyTimestamps0:00 Opening 2:35 Voter Suppression28:44 RNZ Can’t Say Genocide46:09 FBI in NZ1:09:27 ClosingsIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

Climate Liberation Aotearoa are currently leading a direct action in Denniston Plateau on the west coast of the South Island where two activists are stopping the mining operation by literally putting their bodies on the line - they are dangling on coal buckets above the pristine forests of the West Coast.

We host Jen Shields and Alice Soper to discuss the sudden Ministerial direction to Sport NZ to remove transgender inclusion guidelines.

Local Govt NZ had their conference and it's becoming clear that central government only likes local democracy when it's convenient. Cost of living and homelessness increases for everyone except the elite. The Epstein and McSkimming cases in the news prompt a discussion about power, broader political risks and perverse incentives in a hierarchy.This episode’s co-hostsPhilip, Simone, PmaxTimestamps0:00 Opening 2:16 Local Government Conference5:32 “Local Government is…”20:05 “Why Have Local Government”30:46 Cost of Living34:18 Tama Potaka40:35 Against Trump48:06 Jevon McSkimming1:03:19 A Call in About Education1:06:56 ClosingsIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

Political communication, media and the divide in reality between the left and right of politics. We discuss Mamdani’s NYC Dem primary win, David Seymour’s attacks on public figures, the horrific behaviour by RNZ in their reporting on the death of a young transman and the transformation of the western elite into weird slop.This episode’s co-hostsStephanie, Simone, Kyle, GinnyTimestamps0:00 Opening 1:46 Zohran Mamdani5:09 New Zealand Progressive Comms10:33 Global Signal18:59 Looking to 202621:23 Parliamentary Services25:45 Seymour’s Media39:20 Trans Boogeymen1:04:58 Daddy Fascism 1:15:00 ClosingIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

We interview Kieran Kelly about his recent trip to Egypt for the Global March to Gaza. The story of thousands of activists descending on Egypt tells us something about Israel's need to keep the international community on side. Then we discuss Gaza, the American Empire and Iran.

Covering domestic and international politics this week, we look at the way in which existing power structures, and even accountability measures, predominantly protect the status quo and the accelerating radicalism of capital. NZ is chucking out the census, ACT is becoming more brazen in its attacks on public figures, and the West gets ever twitchier about encroachments on “their turf”.This episode’s co-hostsGinny, Simone, KyleTimestamps0:00 Opening 1:20 Census18:35 ACTs Public Attacks35:50 Joint Action Plan for Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP) 2025-203045:23 The Wests Enemies59:22 NYC Mayoral1:04:18 ClosingsIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200
