What makes Kim Dotcom tick

If you want to take the time to discover what makes Kim Dotcom tick then this is the interview!

The NZ media takes the opportunity to take Dotcom down at every opportunity and describe his big ego. Really what it reveals that these are pathetic nonentities, every one, who can't stand someone in their midst who is bigger than they are, more intelligent and with more insight.

This goes right through from the media to the political scene -  John Key, the Labour Party and even people like Russell Norman of the Greens.

None of them (with one or two virtuous exceptions) are capable of running an interview like this. Really, Zalewski should be hired to give them lessons. The truth is they are just presstitutes paid to further the corporate agenda (as revealed recently by the German editor, Udo Ulfkotte).

We live in an Orwellian age where we are surrounded by people who are either paid to misinform and dumb people down or people who yap from the sidelines while a small number of people do real institutional analysis, read and interpret peer-reviewed scientific paper and speak truth to power.

There are people who do not want to hear a message (from Guy McPherson) that tells us that we are all going to die and we may as well sit in the deck chairs while the ship goes down. These people do not have the knowledge or the wit to criticise the actual science on its own basis.

What this tells us is they are afraid to hear something that is based in fact (and therefore in all likelihood true) because they are afraid of THEIR reaction; they are afraid that they might fall into despair and depression

This morning I have nothing but the greatest contempt for such people.
