The New Zealand media reveals its ugly face

The media is unanimous in its desire to see Kim Dotcom in an orange jumpsuit in America. By doing so they are revealing their trecherous role in defending the Empire. They are. after all the Fourth Estate of the Establishment.

Dotcom turns up empty-handed to 'Moment of Truth'

Kim Dotcom turned up empty-handed for his own Moment of Truth. He had claimed for almost three years he could prove John Key had lied in relation to his copyright case.

Last night, at the show he had organised, he proved nothing and presented no evidence.

And when asked about the failure to produce his promised evidence, the tycoon turned angry and told the media they were failing at their jobs.

The Moment of Truth was the event at which Dotcom claimed he would "absolutely" prove the Prime Minister knew the tycoon was in the country before 2012. The issue is a key factor in Dotcom's theory that Mr Key, US President Barack Obama and Hollywood were in a conspiracy to have him extradited.

But the international guests could not paper over the absence of Dotcom's promised evidence.


Towards the end, there was a passing reference by Dotcom's international lawyer Robert Amsterdam to an email which purported to prove the conspiracy.

The Herald published it yesterday after confirming with Dotcom it was the evidence he intended to present -- and also printed claims the email was fake after contacting everyone named in the email.

In a press conference afterwards, Dotcom stood by the email. "I believe it to be 100 per cent true."

Told it had been labelled fake, he asked: "What alternative do they have? The Government lies all the time."

Internet Party leader Laila Harre tried to close down questions, saying a complaint had been made to Parliament's Speaker and no comment should be made until after an inquiry.

But it didn't stop questions, leaving Dotcom trying to point the media to the issue of mass surveillance.

"[The public] don't care about my case tonight. They care about being subjected to this evil mass surveillance."

Finally, he appeared to lose his cool and angrily lectured the media: "You have an obligation after what you have learned tonight to take the information you have learned from Glenn Greenwald.

"You have failed New Zealanders in the past -- look at Dirty Politics," he said, referring to the book about the alleged National Party attack politics campaign. "You need to wake up and do your jobs.

"My case only affects me. It doesn't matter tonight. That's why we didn't make a big deal out of it. You need to get your priorities right. We have focused on the much bigger lie, which is every single New Zealander subjected to mass surveillance."

Dated October 27, 2010, the purported email being sent to the Speaker claims to be from Warner Bros chairman and chief executive Kevin Tsujihara to a senior executive at the Hollywood lobby group the Motion Picture Association of America. It fitted Dotcom's conspiracy perfectly -- he had claimed to be a bargaining chip traded to Hollywood among other concessions in a swap for New Zealand keeping the filming of The Hobbit trilogy.

Senior Warner Bros and MPAA executives called the email a fake. Mr Key said a conversation referred to in the email "did not take place".
