TODAY’S TOP SCOOPS------------

Poll Watch: Mr Moderate Could Be The Joker
- Yesterday’s NZ Herald DigiPoll shows the Labour Party, “would win 58 seats - tantalisingly short of a majority in the
120-seat Parliament, even with Jim Anderton's support. …Assuming he retains his Ohariu-Belmont seat United Future leader
Peter Dunne could hold the crucial 61st seat and the balance of power if Helen Clark decided to spurn the Greens and NZ
First.” See... Poll Watch: Herald DigiPoll - Dunne In Hot Seat [1]
China’s Suppression Campaign Hits Auckland

plainly contributes to a broader campaign denying freedom of expression, Amnesty International said today. See... Chinese Govt Campaign Against Freedom [1] MORE: - HRC - Freedom Of Expression Must Be Protected [2] - Keith Locke - Auckland Airport Bows To Pressure [3]
PPTA Offers Mallard No Election Favours

Satire: Dramatic Monologue With George W.
- The last time I wrote at length in my journal, in January, the first of the business debacles was just starting to
unfold. Course, I had to tell a major whopper -- that I didn't know Kenny Boy all that well -- but there wasn't a lot of
damage and the story basically fell by the wayside. Especially once we ratcheted up the War-on-Terror and patriotic
themes. See... Scoop Satire: Inside George Bush's Diary [1]
Real Deal: Edgewood Technology Services (Pt. 2)
- Just as Fitts was beginning to demonstrate how quickly the Afro-American mothers of HUD's Edgewood Terrace project in

nastier regimes around the world, including those against which the US waged the Cold War, the Bush regime is in the
process of recruiting people to spy on their fellow citizens. If you doubt this read the following. See... Not Important! Think Again: Money Laundry Special [1] . See also... Not Important? Think Again - July 15th [2]
UQ Wire: Investment Espionage & The White House

documented accumulation of pre-9/11 insider trading profits than was originally thought. See... UQ Wire: Investment Espionage And The White House [1]
Katya Rivas
- In times of affliction, I enrich the souls I love, with My greatest Graces. See John the Baptist who, chained and
cramped in jail, knew of the work I did. See... Katya Rivas: Benefits That Come From Affliction [1]

English. See... English Supports Victims Of Crime [1]
Scare Tactics Threaten Economic Growth – Anderton
