they let him go, to wish a light from a bulb or switch.
One to keep him going
and put the lights on when the ground is shaking,
like that other thing, counting and touching his knee,
remembering,
a thing of light bulbs and switches
but not for fun
unless you were laughing
laughing at what
the light bulb and touching
where the wires join up

Sir Ed out in the cold.....
First this from today's news....
'Saxmere's case has been rejected by the High Court and Court of Appeal.
In its decision released today the Supreme Court said any challenges to those decisions had no grounds to proceed.
"We are not persuaded that there is any good reason in the public interest for hearing the appeal," the Supreme Court justices said.
The case led to the resignation last year of Supreme Court Justice Bill Wilson, after he failed, while sitting on the Court of Appeal which was considering the case, to step down or make full disclosure of his business and financial relationship with the Wool Board's lawyer Alan Galbraith.
In a statement this afternoon, the Wool Board called today's decision "the end of a long and tortuous road".
Wool Board Disestablishment Company Limited (DisCo) chairman Bruce Munro said the board always believed it had acted lawfully.
Mr Munro said it had been very frustrating that the case had been extended through accusations of apparent bias of Justice Wilson.
"The judgment confirms there was no real bias. The facts of the case were against Saxmere from the outset," he said.'
For those that remember this, Sir Edmond Cooke 'broke' the story last year about Justice Bill Wilson being 'beholden' to counsel representing the Woolboard in the above case, Alan Galbraith. Some information had been passed to Sir Ed more for advice, so a conversation in passing, a confidence, that he broke by writing to The Judicial Conduct Commissioner and announcing it to the press before the matter had been considered. The Commissioner, no doubt aware of the publicity already created by Sir Ed's public preening and paw licking, sent the matter for an unprecedented panel investigation into what Bill Wilson should have revealed, Bill Wilson sought a Judicial Review of The Commissioner's decision and won in that it was 'sent' back to the Commissioner to be reconsidered.
Not long after Judith Collins commented on a severance package for Bill Wilson who had announced (after negotiations with the Crown) his resignation. Judith Collins revealed that Bill Wilson had asked for a higher amount casting him in a bad light and breaking what I would assume would be a normal protocol to not make details of the negotiations public. Around Xmas Sir Ed The Brave was in the running for NZer of the year or some similar recognition and in an interview rather grandly congratulated himself on the 'dispatching' of Bill Wilson forgetting to mention that the Commissioner decision was upended, effectively along with Sir Ed's complaint.
Sir Ed had at the outset applied his opinion of how Bill Wilson was beholding without knowing the facts, and heightened details of a financial arrangement/partnership that to his mind showed reason why Bill Wilson was beholding to Counsel, and got himself in a state of excitement about it, a frenzy even. Ultimately his interpretation (unfortunately and unwisely made public in Ed's excitement) was rejected and common sense prevailed.
And today Sir Ed is shoved further out into the cold by the Supreme Court who fortunately took the opportunity to say 'there was no real bias.' I assume Bill Wilson will get some satisfaction from that but in reality his career, his right to due process was diminished, negated by a white Knight riding his horse backwards and wondering where the horse's head was and why it was going the wrong way.

Some particular names were called in Court
today, those of some vociferous motor mouths but they were no where to be seen. Not even able to front in a number of three, the once proud squadron of hate. Crawled back no doubt beneath a rock, stalkers all -grown quiet, fiddling in darkness, bold no more, when called to task for feasting on the lives of others. But they'll be called again, brought to account for the stalking done, others as well. You bet ya.
Some fellow Aucklanders bite the dust...
Not quite clear yet, but it seems the anticipated crunch has hit as some Aucklanders involved in 'organising' and assisting in logistics in Christchurch. Just as it would be hard to deny that panel beaters and towies know that following unexpected rain there are often car crashes that result in work. So too would Fletchers quickly register after the February 22nd quake that there would be more work for them in Christchurch. A number of Auckland demolition companies headed south soon after the quake and also the President on The Demolition Association.
The President, Diana Stil, is also involved with Nikau Contractors in Auckland who proclaim a nationwide service. Quiet early on Diana (perhaps after volunteering and announcing her Presidency) was seconded into helping Urban Search and Rescue, primarily sourcing specialist equipment that USAR required. She brought in help and was thanked by USAR for the job she and the others were doing voluntarily. It would be fair to say that contractors probably throughout the country were hoping for work and it seems not just a few went to the city expecting work. Complicating Diana's role of course, and despite her best intentions, was the impression that she was wearing 2 hats however noble her intentions were.
And so the big bad wolf arrived - a leader of Environment Canterbury, along with a local demolition company owner, and surprise, surprise, an Auckland competitor of the Company Diana is involved with. Environment Canterbury were unimpressed by the efforts of the NZDemolitionAssociation President, and so too the other two demolition company owners who had probably spent no little time working their way into the centre of the scene. Not quite gunfight at the OK Corral but a passable version.
The pity is that it is hard to distinguish a double role such as Diana attempted and it probably made her easy prey for the suggestion that she was intent on feathering her nest, the irony is, that even if she had an eye on finding work for her company, then no doubt the other 2 company owners had the same intention for their businesses - but not the complicating 2 hats role that was so obvious with Diana. I guess it is the nature of business, and additionally it's the nature of partisanship that the locals don't like the hotshots coming in from other cities and making public comment that doesn't pay regard to the local businesses and contractors.
To this point only one side of the story has emerged, Dianas, and it would be fair to say she has peppered her account with some feeling of being unappreciated. Whatever the case, I hope eventually that contractors in general will be able to be organised by an impartial body, such as tendering system and so forth, or preferred users lists by rotation because there's a lot of work to be done and faults such as false starts on who is in control waste time and cause bad feeling.
All said and done, if there were twenty tonne machines outside the cordon and a little more expansive thought for the problems faced in the suburbs and elsewhere, some of those diggers could have (or could be now) dug pits for plastic water tanks to be installed as holding tanks for sewerage, set up with temporary plumbing and water supplies to provide banks of flush toilets here and there about the city where needed. The tanks could be pumped out by suction vacuum trucks as they filled allowing a major problem to be temporarily bridged in a fairly inexpensive way while the more important protagonists fought the demo wars inside the cordon.

Christchurch don't grow cold.
Don't see the punished boy,
who stole light fittings and switches
in the night, where you are frightened
that thieves do take.
Don't punish the boy who looks for light,
to understand and hold what might make
him whole in the quake his life has
never stopped.
The boy in disaster of a
broken mind that a switch might connect
and give him rest, from searching
for the place his tremor stops.
See if you can sense his spirit trapped
behind a blackened eye and vacant look,
bring him to carry the water buckets
and shovel the silt, and excitedly talk with you while
eating sausages on bread with too much sauce for one.
Soon he could be like you,
his light found in your love.
To stand with you and rebuild the town struck down,
the Christchurch town,
don't grow cold.

Judging the hate-sites.
The hate-sites, Justice For Robin Bain, Counterspin, Guiltyfreeforums were always going to be judged by the conduct and behaviour of their membership. Normally, a bona-fide cyber site would be judged according to it's performance as a social site, it's ability to inform the public, gather support for a cause, it's completion of acts in the interest of the public or sections of the public, it's entertainment or educational value and so forth.
But how is a hate-site judged? By the measure of hate achieved? Well, in respect of those mentioned above they are assessed by the sum total achievements of the members and individual achievements. These sites sought 'Justice' for the dead Robin Bain and they went about it by attacking all the institutions of a civilised society, the Justice system, the Jury, individual witnesses, key figures and finally anyone defiant enough to stand in their way. Before doing that, it is timely to look at the hate-site claims and subsequent achievements.
Kent Parker of founder of 2 sites promised a 20,000 strong petition and reached less than 2,000 included in which were dubious signatures and repeated signatures by those such as Lindsay Kennard signing under different variations of his name. Kent Parker promised law changes and made claims that a political party would rise from the analysis of the evidence in the Bain trails. Of course Kent Parker now faces more pressing problems and has fallen to silence, while the hate-sites have gone underground.
Kent Parker was going to achieve in his objectives in an open way. Unfortunately that 'open' way was his way or the highway. His sites cited evidence which didn't exist and carefully vetted out evidence proving Robin Bain as the killer of his own family, he promoted jury stalking by Mike Stockdale and others. Of course this stalking soon became 'acceptable' because no one said 'hold on this isn't right.' No one knew when to apply the brakes and fit within the restraints and conformity to law of a modern society. Suddenly people like Ralph Taylor and Trevor Fox were elevated to almost 'star' like status in cyberspace driven along by being 'right' and having an apparent 'authority' to punish and expose disbelievers. There was no restraint shown, no sobering from blood lust as Trade Me provided a perfect vehicle to allow stalking and harassment on its boards.
Odd allies such as Glenda OBrien and Annette Curran veteran stalkers and hate-messengers were embraced into the fold which for a time (for the poor minded) must have been seen as a crusade of sorts where any potential enemy could be dealt to by the righteous. Of course it is now clear that the righteous were misinformed bigots and idiots who left behind them a trial a mile wide, through a litter of stalking and threats.
The most interesting thing is the question of how far these people allowed themselves to descend into criminality, how far they believed their 'entitlements' allowed them to break the law without realising their false goals were already lost and what they were doing was not finding Justice but destroying it. How anyone could imagine that lying about evidence or hiding it was a pursuit of Justice is indicative of a sick mind. Finding or understanding the truth is not qualified by what is hidden or lied about along the way. Truth is unconditional, itself to be recognised not to be sold or peddled by witchdoctors who have hidden bones in an effort to subdue spirits or hide reality.
Here follows something recently written by Christine Williams, member of all three hate-sites and showing a clear picture of the integrity, honesty and motivation of herself and her sick-minded fellows.....
[QUOTE=MILLIE234;64296]Listen to me very carefully McDonald. You are right, I am a normal ordinary Paheha who has no criminal record and has actually no interest in you personally. As a community we have to live with people like you and I accept that. You threaten me constantly but you do not know who I am or who my connections are. Although I have never been in prison my daughter's father's family have been. They are waiting for you McDonald. You threaten me or my daughter just one more time and I will let them loose. Understand me? Heard of the mob? You can run but you can"t hide. Stop your crap McDonald for the sake of your own family. They just want to protect their own. This is not a threat. It's a promise.[/QUOTE]
And another repeat of something from Kent Parker, displaying his inner motivation, hate and anger against someone who didn't agree with him.

Perhaps, most of all Christine William's death threat and the similar threat by Kent Parker sum up best of all the judgement of the hate-sites and what little they achieved apart from their own vilification and official scrutiny - and thus allows a resounding if unwelcome pass mark, the sites spread hate, threatened the fabric of society to be overcome by zealots and dangerous lunatics. Long may they be silent and good speed to bringing them to Justice.

For the watchers of subtle signs...
you may have noticed the behaviour of the hate-siters is restrained to some degree, but true to form Kalnovitch, Williams and Cameron have imploded - delivering more evidence at a very appropriate time and in a very appropriate way. I guess proving, that for them, stalking is disease. A diseased act by diseased minds, no wonder the hate-sites are closing up shop.
