TPM, Election '23: A one-off, says Richard Prebble

Time, they say, is a great healer. But even though it's more than a year since New Zealanders - especially decent Maori - were embarrassed by Te Pati Maori's cringey haka in Parliament, former Labour MP-turned-ACT leader Richard Prebble reckons TPM is a gone coon. And going by his '25 predictions, Election '26 will prove him right.

Fairminded, down-to earth Kiwis will rejoice if TPM's brand of racism were to vanish from NZ's political landscape - but not if, as Prebble also reckons, the morally bankrupt, bonkers Greens return to power. 

Old Commies never die, they simply fade away and Prebble's lefty leanings show up in his TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). New Zealand's in desperate need of a Prime Minister of Trump's calibre - of a leader who recognises evil and deals with it, who loves his country and defends its borders not just against Muslims from abroad but enemies within, like Leo's so-called 'Catholic' Bishops. 

Prebble says the Middle East is above his pay grade. We may assume that the moral implications of 'indigenous rights', Ardern's fake pandemic https://x.com/i/status/2006532737361129498, 'climate change' (all orchestrated by Davos Inc), crooked cops, bent judges, burgeoning bureaucracy and perverted, polluted education are beyond his comprehension too. After all, like most of the foregoing, Prebble's a socialist.  

The betting is, Prebble's never even heard of the only ultimate solution to the woes of Kiwi society. No nation can achieve its own natural ends without being ordained to the social reign of Jesus Christ, Creator and Saviour.

I asked ChatGPT to assess my 17 predictions for 2025. Two were wrong.

 

ChatGPT judged eight predictions, such as my calls that the economy would recover and that the next election would be a toss-up, to be unresolved.

 

With those consumer warnings, I predict that it is over for Te Pāti Māori.

 

One or more of their MPs, perhaps flying new flags, may survive. The Greens will be returned and should hold all three of their electorate seats.

 

Labour holds just 17 of the country’s 72 electorate seats. (They hold a further 17 list seats.) Its pipeline from student politics to working in Parliament to member of Parliament produces politicians whose expertise is politics. Labour’s professional politicians will campaign well, but producing practical solutions requires wider experience. Expect slogans rather than workable policy.

 

Chris Hipkins will win the leaders’ debates but debates rarely decide elections.

Policies such as a capital gains tax attract votes from the Greens and Te Pāti Māori, but elections are won in the centre.

 

Governments must run on their record. National holds the finance portfolio and therefore carries responsibility for a slow recovery. Lower interest rates and stable rents will ease cost-of-living pressures.

 

Unlike the past, when growth relied on immigration and house prices, economic growth in 2026 will be export-led.

 

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon spent political capital in pursuit of what commentators dismissed as an implausible goal – a free-trade agreement with India.

 

Former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was far more internationally famous, but her signature initiative, the “Christchurch Call” was symbolic and produced no measurable change.

 

A free-trade agreement with the world’s most populous nation, soon to be the third-largest economy, will be a genuine game-changer.

 

Luxon’s plan to double exports, also dismissed as implausible, is still challenging but now achievable.

 

I have visited India. Its dynamism is unmistakable.

 

When New Zealand negotiated an agreement to support China’s admission to the World Trade Organisation no one predicted that would lead to China becoming our largest trading partner.

 

Forecasts of future trade with India are far too conservative.

 

Trade follows air links. Direct flights to India, not scheduled until 2028, should be brought forward to capture the trade and tourism opportunities.

 

Luxon has also held the coalition together. Luxon’s achievements will lead to a re-evaluation of his Prime Ministership.

 

Although being in coalition under MMP typically disadvantages minor parties, both Act and New Zealand First will easily be re-elected.

I stand by my prediction that the election is a toss-up. If the economy improves, as I expect, the coalition will be re-elected – with one proviso.

 

Without questioning the acuity of either leader, there are good reasons why travel insurance premiums dramatically increase with age. Having leaders who will be 80 years old is a risk for both New Zealand First and US Republicans.

 

I predict 2026 will be a difficult year for President Trump. I am no expert on American law, but I expect the Supreme Court to rule that only Congress can set tariffs.

 

While there are legal ways to reimpose tariffs, a ruling that the Trump tariffs are unlawful would be a severe blow.

 

Trump claims his tariffs target China. In 2026 it will be obvious that China, through its control of rare earths, has won the trade war.

Trump has weakened America and its allies and strengthened China. Despite the economic lunacy of tariffs, the US economy has proved resilient.

 

What commentators miss, and cannot easily measure, is the liberating effect of deregulation. Technologies such as small-scale nuclear and deep geothermal energy that have been held back by red tape will make remarkable progress.

 

It never pays to bet against America.

 

Commentators predict a toss-up for control of the House and continued Republican dominance of the Senate. The impact of electoral swings is frequently underestimated. The Democratic Party will win the House and have victories in supposedly safe Republican Senate seats. Trump will end 2026 a lame-duck president in serious difficulty.

 

 

Europe has regulated itself into stagnation. The continent needs the Ukraine War to end.

 

Having suffered around 1.118 million dead or wounded, the Black Sea fleet humiliated, Sweden and Finland joining Nato, it is Putin who is afraid to stop the war.

 

Dictators always look strong until they suddenly fall. Democracies look messy, but elections allow change.

 

More in hope, I think the Ukraine War will end.

 

The Middle East is beyond my pay grade.

 

Artificial intelligence represents the biggest change since the Industrial Revolution.

 

MPs used to ask around 14,000 written questions a year: now using AI, it’s nearly 30,000. Each question can absorb hours, sometimes days, of officials’ time. To respond to AI the Government must adopt AI. The biggest change in 2026 is the AI revolution that will accelerate.

 

The Honourable Richard Prebble CBE is a former member of the New Zealand Parliament. Initially a member of the Labour Party, he joined the newly formed ACT New Zealand party under Roger Douglas in 1996, becoming its leader from 1996 to 2004.

WHY DOES +FERNANDEZ STAY PUT? BLACKMAIL?

When a Catholic priest in his Christmas Eve homily never  mentions the name of Jesus, and tells his people the feast is all about congratulating themselves, that's the Freemasonic, Novus Ordo effect: mass apostasy. 

When the conciliar, Prevostian Church is riddled with the vice of sodomy, when over 80 per cent of bishops are closeted homosexuals, that's the effect of mass apostasy. When the faith of our fathers in the Traditional Latin Rite is prohibited, that's satanic suppression of the truth which would expose and expel the sodomites. And when by banishing truth clergy can hide their vicious lifestyles, the vice of blackmail is engendered. 

And when most bishops are sodomitic, it's only too likely that cardinals and popes are also, and a readier prey to blackmailers than bishops. What other explanation is there for wolves like James Martin and Tucho Fernandez staying put under 'Pope Leo XIV'? Or a secret deal allowing persecution of the Church in a certain Communist country remaining in place? 

The time has come for faithful Catholics to flush these wicked men out into the light of Christ.

Francis and Fernandez: Francis knew about his porn

From Gene Thomas Gomulka, a sexual abuse victims’ advocate, investigative reporter, author, and screenwriter. A former Navy (O6) Captain/Chaplain, seminary instructor, and diocesan Respect Life Director, Gomulka was ordained a priest for the Altoona-Johnstown diocese and later made a Prelate of Honor (Monsignor) by St. John Paul II. Email him at msgr.investigations@gmail.com.: 

In a recent episode of “The Prayerful Posse” with Raymond Arroyo, Father Gerald Murray blasted Cardinal “Tucho” Fernández for his pornographic writings which were uncovered by an Argentine Catholic blogger, El Wanderer.

 

What was interesting about the episode was that Arroyo, Murray, and Robert Royal, never connected Fernández’s writings with his homosexual orientation.

 

 

Having been outed by Argentine celebrity nun, Sister María Lucía Caram Padilla on the Spanish Cuentos Chinos program hosted on the Telecinco channel on September 18, 2023, Fernández is as well known among the clergy for being a homosexual as the late ex-Cardinal “Uncle Ted” McCarrick was known for being a homosexual predator, particularly of seminarians and young priests.

 

After all their years of reporting, one would think that “The Prayerful Posse” would point out to viewers how a cleric’s sexual orientation affects his theology, his preaching, his writing, and his entire ministry.

 

Certainly, anyone reading Tucho’s homoerotic works, Heal Me with Your Mouth: The Art of Kissing and Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality (both in 1995); Why Can’t I Finish Healing? (2002); Spiritual Theology: Spiritual Depth in Action (2005); and To Free Yourself from Anxiety and Impatience (2009), would recognize that he is a homosexual.

 

Father Murray deserves credit for stating that “Fernández has demonstrated that he is completely unsuited to be a pastor of souls….and he should be fired.” Although Murray astutely noted that Fernández “will be a benchmark for Pope Leo,” he was not able to identify what “dirt” Fernández might have on Leo in Peru that may be preventing Leo from firing him.

 

The same situation exists in the Archdiocese of Washington where Cardinal Robert McElroy has not removed Father Adam Park despite a plethora of evidence in court documents showing that he preyed on vulnerable seminarians at the North American College (NAC) in Rome, and that he was also sexually active while serving in the archdiocese.

 

Having been ordained by former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick and having served as the priest secretary to Cardinal Donald Wuerl, Park is aware that his behavior may not be significantly different from that of Cardinals McCarrick, Wuerl, Gregory, and McElroy. McElroy will protect and hide Park just like Al Capone attempted to hide his accountant.

 

The Papal Posse also discussed a German Bishops’ Conference 48-page document entitled, “Created, Redeemed, and Loved: Visibility and Recognition of the Diversity of Sexual Identities in Schools.” The title refers to the ever-expanding catalogue of “identities” promoted by rainbow ideologists and LGBTQ+ activists.

 

 

 

 "Catholic bishops Aotearoa NZ ..the complex reality of sexual diversity" ,,, teaching the Germans a thing or two

Commenting on this document, George Weigel wrote, “For a bishops’ commission to issue a text calling for a ‘differentiated’ approach to Catholic teaching…in which the settled truths of Catholic faith are regarded as one option on a menu of possibilities is…bizarre….and will result in intensified human suffering, rather than the healing of troubled souls through the ever-available grace of God and truly compassionate pastoral care.”

 

Neither “The Prayerful Posse” nor Weigel addressed how the document was crafted by German bishops, who, like the U.S. bishops, are over 80% homosexual. Over 50 years ago, I invited a German classmate from the Angelicum University to the North American College (NAC) for Mass and lunch. When we went to my room after lunch, Hartwig broke down relating how someone tried to sexually assault him in the shower that morning.

 

After Hartwig was ordained less than five years, he became tired of constantly being propositioned for sex by German priests, left the Roman Catholic Church, and joined the Altkatholische Kirche. Later, when the Altkatholische Kirche approved same sex marriages, Hartwig returned to the Catholic Church and served as a priest in the Diocese of Augsburg until his death in 2022.

 

Based on the number of homosexual seminarians with whom I lived and studied, many who today are cardinals, archbishops, and bishops, I am not at all surprised that prelates in the U.S., Germany, and other countries, advance such teachings supportive of their own closeted homosexual lifestyles.

For many years gay men and lesbians were perceived as security risks and excluded from military and governmental service because they engaged in homosexual behavior and were thought to be vulnerable to blackmail. While many gay men today no longer live in the closet and cannot be subject to blackmail, that is not at all true for gay Catholic bishops and priests.

 

Recall that Monsignor Jeffrey Burrill, the former General Secretary of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), filed a lawsuit against the gay hookup App Grindr that sold information exposing his promiscuous homosexual lifestyle. Burrill argued that he was forced to leave his position as general secretary with the USCCB and his upward trajectory to the position of bishop had been permanently derailed.

 

When “The Prayerful Posse” questioned why Pope Leo confirmed the election of a Chinese bishop who was elected by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) just before Pope Francis’ death, they failed to answer why Pope Francis, and now Pope Leo, are abiding by an agreement between the Vatican and the CCP whose terms remain secret to this day.

Numerous reports indicate that the persecution of the Catholic Church in China has increased since the agreement was signed in 2018. At least ten Vatican-approved “underground” bishops have faced severe persecution, including indefinite detention, house arrest, and forced “re-education,” for refusing to join the Chinese Patriotic Catholic Association (CPCA), which requires members to pledge “independence” from the Holy See.

 

Consider this scenario: A closeted gay cardinal, when he was a seminary rector, sexually groomed seminarians without being reported. That cardinal is also guilty of covering up numerous sex abuse cases involving minors and vulnerable adults within his archdiocese. When the cardinal is elected pope and his history of sexual misconduct and cover-ups is uncovered by the intelligence services of a Communist country, he is blackmailed like gay U.S. Embassy employee John Vassall and others who were documented to have been compromised because of their homosexual behavior.

 

To avoid being outed, the blackmailed pope enters into a secret agreement with Communist officials which grants them a say in the appointment of bishops. The secret agreement is bartered by an American cardinal who himself is later found to have sexually abused minors, seminarians, and young priests.

 

When the pope dies, little mention is made in the mainstream or Catholic media about how his closeted homosexuality impacted his ministry; allowed him to be blackmailed; and resulted in the persecution of the Church in a particular Communist country. 

 

When a new closeted homosexual pope is elected, the secret agreement is continued as the Communist officials are in possession of incriminating information on the new pope, along with many senior Vatican officials.

 

Because most bishops today are homosexuals, they are not being blackmailed for having affairs with women. Almost a hundred years ago, when a priest got his housekeeper pregnant, he was able to get away with raising their daughter in the rectory because he informed the bishop that he knew the bishop was staying two to three nights a week with a woman in his town.

 

“The Prayerful Posse” and all Catholics need to understand that as long as over 80% of Catholic bishops are closeted homosexuals, one should anticipate: 1) The appointment of homosexual bishops to dioceses like Washington, New Orleans, New York, Monterey, etc.; 2) The protection of bishops accused of homosexual predation, misconduct, and cover-ups; 3) The promulgation of more Church documents supporting the LGBTQ agenda; and 4) The persecution of Catholic clergy and laity by countries like China in possession of incriminating evidence used to blackmail closeted and often promiscuous Church officials.

 

At Christmas time, we are asked to be generous in sharing our blessings with others. If you truly appreciate my research and writings, please contribute to the “Save Our Seminarians” Fund that will help safeguard young men from becoming victims of homosexual predation in U.S. Catholic seminaries.  https://johneighteenthirtyseven.substack.com/p/are-the-pope-and-cardinals-being
