Scoop Has Feedback: Aquada Article Misleading


Aquada Article Misleading

This article is extremely misleading ( amongst many others)and fails to acknowledge the 'actual' inventor being Terry Roycroft of Auckland.

It is typical of the style of 'entrepreneur's to claim the glory whilst the real genius is demoted to near if not actual oblivion.

The real inventor barely gets a mention even on the TV news,other than "I bought his patent"

The footage exists to prove substantially the actual genius of the "lifting wheels" design without which this would never have seen the light of day and was superbly displayed for all to see several times.

Many people were involved in this project over many years,none the least being the true "inventor".

Military versions were designed many years ago also,and drawings exist to prove this substantially.

Whilst every inventor might appreciate the sterling input of valuable entrepreneurs and their financial input to make the dream possible, it will be interesting to see who gains the worldwide credits eventually with the real inventor on the 'foredeck',not Alan Gibbs.

Do please support 'kiwi ingenuity' not financial muscle to encourage others to innovate the technologies this country desperately needs as we have the very best there is to promote upwards and not bury them in this manner yet again.

Father’s Day Wish 2003

Loving greetings to all the Dad’s and Grand’ dads, who may not be with their families this year, due to marriage break ups.

It is a sad day for the fathers, whose wives have decided to “move on”. If you are feeling lonely, or angry enough to something about it, join the Family-Building-Centre network that is birthing all over New Zealand this Spring.

Be part of the solution. Regain your integrity & honour deserved. Help save this nation.

With love from Anthony & Annebeth Riles Broad http://www.family-building-centres.org/

Yours faithfully

Radio Network and 91ZM’s Tasteless Antics

Radio Network & the 91ZM radio station seem to believe that broadcaster Iain Stables is worthy of an ongoing and sustained defence of his various immature & tasteless antics, as evidenced by a recent Broadcasting Complaints Authority report. What is really amusing in all of this is that Stables has no idea that it is he, not the people he targets, who is being so easily exploited and abused by his "bosses". Time & time again Stables willingly takes the hits for The Radio Network, compliant yet powerless in his role of radio "fall guy", all the while believing that what he does & how he acts actually matters. His fans don't support Stables because they respect or even like him: it's just that he is so willing to be a scapegoat for them - and in doing so, he sacrifices himself on the alter that is his own ego. Stables may even attempt to hide behind humour or attempted retribution whe seems to struggle in the ratings..............

Yours faithfully

American lies

We need to see these photos to wake up. Our regime change must have a Godly plan. Visit Christocracy.net. Fly the American flag upside down until justice is established. A national flag flying upside down is a signal of emergency and dire distress. Your brother by faith, Gene Falco please call

Catherine Austin Fitts: The Real Deal: Make Way For Killers & The Tax Haven Round Up

There are no scandals in Washington. There is simply a turnover. We are preparing for an escalation of the global financial war. The old team are simply being told to step aside. Make way for the killers. When G-7 concluded their emergency meeting in London last weekend, they announced that they were going to target tax havens. What does this mean? After months of G-7 central banks buying mortgage bonds and equities, the hunt for capital is on. More>>

Claire Robinson and Jonathan Latham: The Goodman Affair: Monsanto Targets The Heart Of Science

Journal editors have a lot of power in science – power that provides opportunities for abuse. The life science industry knows this, and has increasingly moved to influence and control science publishing. The strategy, often with the willing cooperation of publishers, is effective and sometimes blatant. In 2009, the scientific publishing giant Elsevier was found to have invented an entire medical journal... More>>

Richard S. Ehrlich: Racism At The Heart Of Fight Among Buddhists And Muslims

Buddhists and Muslims are clashing with increasing ferocity in Myanmar, Thailand and Sri Lanka where minority Islamic ethnic groups blame racism by majority Buddhists more than religious intolerance. "It is like the K.K.K. (Klu Klux Klan) in America during the period of the civil rights movement," said Myo Win, a Muslim activist based in Yangon, Myanmar... More>>

Binoy Kampmark: The Mining Myth: Sustainability And Development

It has been a fiction that has held sway for a time. Mining booms create trickledown wealth. It is tagged as “sustainable” when it is premised on temporariness. Natural resources work for countries that possess them in abundance. Only on the periphery do we see the sense of foreboding that comes with these assets, be it the murder of such leaders as Patrice Lumumba in the Congo... More>>


Ramzy Baroud: Israel, Hawking And The Pressing Question Of Boycott

It is an event “of cosmic proportions”, said one Palestinian academic, a befitting description regarding Stephen Hawking’s decision to boycott an Israeli academic conference slated for next June. It was also a decisive moral call which was communicated on May 8 by Cambridge University, where Hawking is a professor. More>>

Binoy Kampmark: Angelina Jolie: Breasts, Celebrity And Choice

Popular culture, and celebrity, have come to this. A well-endowed personality, a figure of celluloid appeal, has to justify to the other-worldliness of an action personal and specific to the person in question. That a woman has to have a mastectomy brings with it pains within and without – not merely the challenges to her body but her family and friendship circle. In the case of celebrity... More>>

David Swanson: How Your Town Can Stop Drones

Local resolutions have helped advance many issues, including war opposition, when they've been passed in large numbers. When we passed a resolution in Charlottesville, Va., last year opposing any attack on Iran, I heard from numerous cities that wanted to do the same. As far as I know... More>>

John Spritzler: Uri Avnery's Specious Attack On The One State Solution

Uri Avnery may be the most sophisticated defender of Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. He defends this ethnic cleansing while posing as a great friend and sympathizer of Palestinians, supposedly proven by his opposition to Israel's occupation of the West Bank and support for a "two state solution."
