Two causualties that are No 1 and 2 in the Met Police, means “Call me Dave” is toast.

Now that this story has finally surfaced I thought I may as well share it with MoA-ites at last. A few tidbits:

“Police say they are confident their computer system is secure, as Prime Minister John Key declines to answer questions over Israeli spy claims.
The police national computer has been under scrutiny in the aftermath of the Christchurch earthquake in February because of fears Israeli agents loaded software into the system that would allow backdoor access to highly sensitive intelligence files.
The Security Intelligence Service ordered the checks as part of an urgent investigation of what one SIS officer described as the suspicious activities of several groups of Israelis during and immediately after the earthquake.
Three Israelis were among the 181 people who died when the earthquake destroyed most of Christchurch’s central business district on February 22. One was found to be carrying at least five passports.
An unaccredited Israeli search and rescue squad was later confronted by armed New Zealand officers and removed from the sealed-off “red zone” of the central city. . . .”
“. . . Key was asked repeatedly today to confirm details of an SIS investigation into whether the Israeli secret service had infiltrated the police national computer after three Israelis were killed and other Israeli citizens fled the country.
He said he was satisfied there had been no misuse of the police computer. But when asked repeatedly if there had been an investigation by the SIS he refused to answer because it was not in the national interest.
Key also insisted there had been no misuse of New Zealand passports but when asked to confirm one Israeli had five passports he would only say he was aware they had several in their possession but refused to elaborate.
The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Key four times on the day of the earthquake but Key would only discuss part of those phone calls, which he said were to offer help and advice.
He would not discuss other aspects of the calls.
But when asked repeatedly if the Israeli government had done anything wrong he would not answer, saying it was not in the national interest for him to do so.
Key was also asked about an Israeli search and rescue team being escorted from the Red Zone by armed guards after being found there without permission.
He confirmed he was aware of an incident but “can’t confirm all of the details in the way you’ve presented them”.
When asked to give a correct portrayal of the incident he refused. And when asked why it was not in the national interest to talk about the matters raised in a Fairfax story today Key said it was because he “deemed” that to be the case. . . “

It is the bit about sleazy Benyi calling Key 4 times on the day of NZ’s worst national disaster to hassle him about some dodgy business the israelis had been up to which grates the most.
Key appears to have cut himself loose from zionist ‘handlers’ quite soon after his election. Most likely because of the way the Israeli government made a big deal about NZ’s new prime Minister being jewish.
John Key is the worst type of sociopath and once he saw that any overt favours to aid israel’s thuggery would cost him electorally he pulled his head in. Plus the very section of the NZ voters the israelis were trying to woo got turned off by the carry on in the Jerusalem Post etc, cause John Key is the 3rd or 4th NZ Prime Minister who happens to be jewish and many felt the way that the israeli media performance indicating they believed some corner had been turned against ‘anti-semitism’ in NZ, was yet another example of israeli ‘spin’ to cast that despicable society as noble when anyone who bothers to look properly sees a corrupt self serving oligarchy bent on theft and murder. The alleged anti-semitism was nothing more than the previous government’s refusal to take sides on the ethnic cleansing of the Jordan Valley. Israel in 2011: objectivity = naziism.
The whining and bleating was exacerbated by NZ having ‘the cheek’ the unmitigated gall to arrest, jail, then expel a cabal of israeli intelligence agents that were caught illegally obtaining NZ passports.
So Binyi’s bullying fucked up – what else is new?
Well if the israelis did manage to stuff NZ’s ‘secret citizen database’ few will cry but one thing that has become apparent during all this is that as always happens when intelligence agencies are allowed too much unsupervised banditry, israel’s intelligence services seem to have become involved in all manner of criminal activity.
For example Zev Barkan the organiser of the failed passport racket and the person one of the passports was meant for, has been reported to be the ringleader of a series of depraved snuff and torture movies that were made in Cambodia in 2006.
What started as drugging and filming young backpackers became twisted ‘executions’ of Phnom Penh vagrants – the lost souls who inhabit all major cities which embrace the globalist order.
As well as Cambodian newspaper reports allegedly much of this stuff has surfaced in Pravda.
Key is obfuscating something a permanent condition for him. However as staunch as he appears in public he has probably given something back for the mysterious funding his party picked up before te last election. Much digging is going on, aided by the growing public anger over NZ being dragged into the dodgiest piece of war criminality be committed anywhere.
police & intelligence services appear to be leaking like sieves at the moment.

means “Call me Dave” is toast

As for Dave, he was never in danger as it requires a vote of no confidence or impeachment to take him out.

“Dave” is still in danger. He is damaged. The affair may go further.
Formally speaking, a vote of no confidence would be required to take him out. Impeachment may exist, but it is unknown in recent times. In either case, things would not go so far. If he were seriously damaged, there would be a vote in the Tory party for the leader, as happened with Thatcher. If that vote were not wholly supportive, he would resign.
We are not there yet. More could come out.

Comparing Hackgate to a Shakespearean tragedy because of all the bodies has been quite often used in the British media for several days and I don’t think anyone has copyright on it.
