Surviving Nuclear War | Scoop News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Book Reviews | Gordon Campbell | Scoop News | Wellington Scoop | Community Scoop | Search I recently read Annie Jacobsen's Nuclear War; a Scenario (2024), and it's a sobering reminder of what's at stake when the world's elites play existential geopolitical games. What use is geopolitics? Is it just a super-elite sport? A form of evangelism? As one astute American geopolitician said around 1992, following the passing of the Soviet Union: "What does the preacher do when the Devil dies?" (Refer, Th
Tone Deaf KiwiSaver And The Circular Flow Of Income | Scoop News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Book Reviews | Gordon Campbell | Scoop News | Wellington Scoop | Community Scoop | Search The KiwiSaver policies of both National and Labour are deeply problematic for a number of reasons.

AI Holocaust Versus Nuclear Apocalypse | Scoop News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Book Reviews | Gordon Campbell | Scoop News | Wellington Scoop | Community Scoop | Search Yesterday, much of the corporate and government media ran a story about AI [Artificial 'Intelligence'; not AW, Artificial Wisdom].

In the chart above, results sourced from Wikipedia, I have made some changes to the parties' colours, so as to better align with New Zealand's colour schematics, and so as to show the different party-blocs more clearly. In particular, I have reversed the colo
Christopher Luxon's Uneasy Relationship With Known Knowns | Scoop News (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Book Reviews | Gordon Campbell | Scoop News | Wellington Scoop | Community Scoop | Search Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has a complicated relationship with historical truth. His reputation is that he has little sense for history; this can make him come across as more tone deaf than he means to be. A deeper problem may be that his generation (X) and the two following generations (Gen Y and Millennials) – the generations which predominate in the corporate media – are generally weak on historica
