The Great NZ Infrastructure Heist

- The New Zealand Government and people have been captured by large multinational corporations such as Vanguard and Blackrock. They have groomed us to believe that the only way to restore the woeful state of our infrastructure is to engage them through PPP's (public, private partnerships). In this video, Andy explains how they are doing it and also, how by better understanding government monetary operations, we don't need any of these foreign entities to build our infrastructure.
A very good explanation
Thank you 🏆🙏
Will share widely 🎉
Thanks Amanda
Awesome explanation 👏
Welldone andy
You will own nothing and be happy I believe fink will buy all houses that are for sale now
You must be being suppressed. Even though subscribed i only came across this by circuitous means.. I.e. luck
Thanks, I am being suppressed.
My books have been suppressed, my books have been vilified on TV One Network News, and RNZ have done hit pieces on me too.
The truth is always suppressed.
Just as I pointed out last week when I released this video about corporate capture involving large overseas corporations such as Vanguard and BlackRock. In May BlackRock announced Will Thomson as the managing director of BlackRock NZ climate infrastructure.

The infrastructure issue was fully employed by Roger Douglas under David Lange. Successive governments continued to allow privatization. That is why we are in trouble now. Your video here does not start with that, but simply cites elements of the present (that are a result of that policy). The framing and tone of your video do not help, and indeed simply shoots down people in your line of fire. A way of thinking and acting, in NZ, that is easy to advantage.
To be clear infrastructure is indeed a huge issue in our country. Allowing further involvement of offshore corporate involvement is diabolical.
Outrage is useless unless action, for change, is implemented. Yes the financial structure, which was designed back in the late 1940's, in America by Milton Friedman. This economic history is well documented by Naomi Klein in her book 'The Shock Doctrine'. In this book she outlines a policy call 'Disaster Capitalism' a policy that drains an economy/population of surplus wealth passing it onto the wealthiest.
All politicians are part of that program; polarizing people around 2 poles (essentially 2 parties) is part of that process. Disaster Capitalism was perfected in the lower earning countries in the world through American influence and actions, Friedman had an open door to their President over a number of terms. The perfection of the system is complete and now is being turned on the western world.
When you made this video you may not understand that governments, their people, politicians are powerless to stop this and often undergo serious pressure in their terms of office ( I am not an apologist). Yanis Varoufakis is qualified to teach about process and pressure; he was Greek finance minister during a pivotal moment in taht country. He speaks well and sees clearly the problem and extreme difficulty of any solution.
I agree with your assessment that the 2 most significant issues here in NZ, for the people, are indeed a healthy livelihood and world class infrastructure. Without either or bot we will be ground down by the previously mentioned global Neoliberal economic policy. I see no point in pointing the finger at anyone at the edge of this economic front. They do what they think they can and inevitably fail - all people in the situation are fighting a losing battle.
Eventually everyone in the country will hit a wall (said understanding that many people already have); at that point (preferably sooner, but doubt will be done effectively) people will need to make some hard choices.
I am not going to be alive much longer, therefore I doubt I will see this for myself, but the path for people cannot be found in the system we inhabit. That is a bitter pill to swallow, outrage is a simple recourse, but inevitably pointless without grass roots change. That involves heart and mind. And surviving with less. Change. Those elites... well airing empassioned opinion, no matter how accurate, will not reach them.
Chin up mate: what you hold in your heart and place in your mind ... matters.
Thank you for your comments.
I agree with Naomi Klien’s Disaster Capitalism theory. When government’s issue currency to generate commerce correctly, they generate productivity and so infrastructure. However, if they do it badly, slowly corporations become so big that they end up run our country and that is what my video is about.
Government’s can do something to prevent this, they could tax the corporations to diminish their power, and they could set up state enterprises such as the old Ministry of Works, that challenge the corporations. When they call for tenders, the government can regulate where the work goes. Because the government issue the currency (at will, not from taxes)) there are no constraints on price. For instance if a corporation can do it for less, but the MoW has capacity, they could still issue the tender to the MoW.
I think there is room for both public and private enterprise.
Unfortunately, the current education institutions are run by the corporates and so no one can even see the way out. For instance, they teach people that the government can’t spend unless it taxes people and businesses. That stunt’s growth in any country and it will allow globalists, like Helen Clarke and WSP to write policy that favours BlackRock, Vanguard, StreetSmart and the rest of them.
@@andyoakley7372 mmmm ok. The implementation of said policies has been there like dogs balls... yet here we are.
So whether our politicians defamed or paid off. The outcome seems to be the. Electing a firebrand like Chloe might set that moving. But honestly that election game is a perpetual motion machine.
Setting up strong community group may be only recourse.
More economic education from those who understand.
