As regular readers will know we don't always see eye to eye with Trevor Loudon's New Zeal but we do have high regard for his energy and his research into radicalism here in New Zealand. In this regard there are two recent posts we wish to draw attention to. The first relates to the late Syd Jackson and a number of trips to Libya. Our advice to Trevor is to keep digging. Who paid his airfares on these trips and did Syd visit Geneva for any UN meetings first?
On the topic of the UN The Hive has been unhappy with media reporting on the questions that have been asked of New Zealand by "the UN" about the so-called anti-terror raids. Trevor usefully exposes who is behind these questions on the UN side. None other than the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights while Countering Terrorism. The rapporteur mentioned in this case is our old friend Mexican Marxist Sociology professor, Rodolfo Stavenhagen. No surprises here.
