The Moment of Truth - counting down

Glenn Greenwald on TV3s ‘The Nation’ – Everyone remember when Key promised to resign if GCSB were revealed to be conducting mass surveillance?

Glenn Greenwald has just given his first NZ interview on TV3s ‘The Nation’ and what he had to say was incredibly damaging.

Glenn is here for Kim Dotcom’s Moment of Truth on Monday and what he has just had to say on TV3 resets the political agenda again. He says he has proof that then GCSB has lied when it claimed it doesn’t do mass surveillance. That means Key has also lied.
Let’s remember what Key promised when challenged on the GCSB mass spying last year…
Key:I’ll resign if GCSB conducts mass surveillance Prime Minister
John Key says he and the head of GCSB would resign if the spy agency were found to have conducted mass surveillance.

Personally I am enjoying watching all those precious ‘journalists’ in NZ who shat all over Kim’s launch of his moment of truth and how very, very, very, very quiet the Press Gallery has become once Glenn Greenwald’s inclusion was announced.
There is so much more to go.
Don’t believe the media hype that Key will win by 50%.

Spying claim could turn 

election says Cunliffe

Labour leader David Cunliffe says new allegations about New Zealand's spying activity could be enough to swing the election in Labour's favour


12 September, 2014

American journalist Glenn Greenwald - who first broke the story of the documents leaked by Edward Snowden last year - told TV3's The Nation this morning the New Zealand Government had engaged in extraordinary amounts of analysis of metadata, both internationally and within New Zealand.

Mr Cunliffe said that it was a very serious claim, which if true, could turn the election.

"I think the credibility and truthfulness of the Prime Minister of the day is always important and it is always fundamental to the trust of New Zealanders.

"The Prime Minster of the country has lied to New Zealand and I expect New Zealanders will react in the ballot box."

He said it raised serious questions about whether the Government had been truthful.

"This is a very sensitive area where the Prime Minister's word must be able to be relied upon.

"Let's not forget the Inspector General of intelligence and security is already investigating the the Prime Minister's office over the Cameron Slater link."


Mr Cunliffe said it would have been preferable if this information had been revealed much earlier.
