As we near the end of 2014 we are all certainly a little older, perhaps even a little wiser. Over the coming weeks many in the Antipodes will celebrate the light and warmth that summer brings, we’ll enjoy the water, be it a beach or the banks of a river, we’ll celebrate our families, whoever we may choose to embrace as family. Some among us will give thanks to their god, whatever their faith conceives him to be, and we will all undoubtedly have the time to reflect on the year that’s past and share our hopes and aspirations for the year ahead.
We here at LF would like to take a moment to wish all of our readers a safe and enjoyable festive season, be it religious or not. We would also like to invite our readers to spare a thought for those among us who are perhaps less fortunate than ourselves.
LF’s thoughts in particular are with those individuals and the families who have been touched by injustice, those for whom this holiday season may in fact bring unwelcome thoughts, despair, fear and perhaps trepidation for the year ahead. We would ask that readers also spare a thought for the victims of injustice wherever they may be and how you, even if only in a modest way, may be able to play a small part in changing your world, starting with your own neighbourhood, for the better in 2015.
We would also ask readers to spare a thought for the people amongst us who have over the past year selflessly made the effort to play a more active role in bringing about change in the lives of those who have fallen victim to injustice. The selfless people within our communities, who despite the odds, often overwhelming public apathy, cynicism and criticism, perhaps even ridicule, have nevertheless given of their time and energy to put right some of those wrongs.
Blessed Are You Who Bear the Light
Blessed are you
who bear the light
in unbearable times,
who testify
to its endurance
amid the unendurable,
who bear witness
to its persistence
when everything seems
in shadow
and grief.Blessed are you
in whom
the light lives,
in whom
the brightness blazes—
your heart
a chapel,
an altar where
in the deepest night
can be seen
the fire that
shines forth in you
in unaccountable faith
in stubborn hope
in love that illumines
every broken thing
it finds.– Jan Richardson

LF, just a thought, when are you guys going to intellectually and evidentially Garrote Matthew Blomfield with a chain of his own communication with his loser lawyers…………..or is that going to be done slowly, so we can all enjoy it, by the likes of heroes such as Mark “iron” spring, or Cam “the sloth” Slater, or is someone else going to pop up and do him so quick and precisely that Blomfield only realises that he has been beheaded when his head bounces on the ground separate to his falling corpse.
I personally hope that Spring or Slater get him in a manner where they spend hours enjoying the strangulation, and that they have not drunk too much champagne when the presence of Satan departs Blomfields dull and dumb eyes. Whoever does Blomfield, make sure that you burn that cum soaked beard of his – fuck he is one ugly bullshit artist wannabe.
Beware of cowards for they are everywhere disguised as god fearing humanitarians. Brave men instil fear in lesser others because the others see Gods presence to close for comfort. LF, God has already blessed me by you being in my presence. I look at your work in awe, and I know that one day soon, the world will know how important it is.
Merry Xmas to the LF team and keep exposing the shysters, vermin, and bullshitting bastards in authority, in our banana republic. I’m certain 2015 will spew forth even more revelations of corruption, ignored by the complicit, corrupt MSM. Do people actually buy the NZ Herald?!
Emile Zola and Georges Picquart must be looking down and smiling. Merry Christmas and every best wish for 2015 Team LF.
At least victims old, new and yet to be victims are safe for 48 hours from Matthew John Blomfield
Great poem – to match great work. One website outclassing the entire NZ “Just Us” system and mainstream media apparatus. There is a crack in everything – that’s how the light gets in. May we go forward in 2015, and not back backwards 🙂
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year and may a time come when our legal system realises it is not performing its statutory obligation to administer justice to all.
When everyone else cared not, ‘jack diddly squat’ you were there! Wishing all the team at LF a well deserved happy Xmas and prosperous New Year!!
Thanks to the team at LaudaFinem for having the conviction to help others fight to right wrongdoings, and for being unabashed in publishing and airing the names, events, and facts around so many things which are ‘swept under the carpet’ by the MSM and so many agencies and authorities in New Zealand.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all at Lauda Finem
Thank you for your hard work ….inspirational.
