Amazon’s Israeli-American Commandant overturns decision to film in NZ: Your film industry sucks!
NZ PM and the ED Minister Stuart Nash made to look like common whores begging for action (and paying for it, too)!
“The economic development minister has distanced himself from Amazon’s decision to move production of its Lord of the Rings series to the UK,” a report said.
“There was never a cast iron promise that season two would be filmed, let alone filmed here,” Minister Stuart Nash said.
“A studio would never commit to a second series without understanding how well the first series actually did.”
The Sub-orbital Space Monkey’s Decision Overturned
However, the sub-orbital space monkey had previously ordered a second season of the fantasy series before season one had even gone into production!

[The taxpayers would most likely never learn how much money they lost footing the bill for the government’s latest episode of wild orgies with gangster billionaires. Ed]
Another Evil Multinational Leaves NZ, Despite Govt. Ministers Promise of Money and Sex
Nash, choking on tears, coughing up blood, and drowning in sorrows said he was “gutted, very disappointed”.
“This is basically a lot of very large multinational consolidating all their filming onto one on site in the UK. Nothing whatsoever to do with their experience here, or the skills or competency or capacity of the New Zealand film industry in any way, shape, or form. That’s what they told us.”

Bezos sues Nasa over its deal with Elon Musk’s SpaceX
Jeff Bezos’s space firm Blue Origin is suing Nasa over a decision to award a $2.9bn (£2.1bn) lunar lander contract to Elon Musk’s SpaceX.
The former Amazon boss’s firm said there were “fundamental issues” with the deal, calling it unfair.
The row stems from a decision in April to hand the deal to one company, not two as expected, because of a funding shortfall.
Nasa is yet to comment, but it has the backing of a federal watchdog.
In a court filing on Friday, Blue Origin said it continued to believe that two providers were needed to build the landing system, which will carry astronauts down to the Moon’s surface as early as 2024.
It also accused Nasa of “unlawful and improper evaluation” of its proposals during the tender process.

If NASA wanted to hand over control of their lunar lander project to Israeli subcontractors, which infest Amazon/AWS/Blue Origin, why would they want to double their cost, going through Jeff Freakin’ Bezos?

The douchebag is a war profiteer and a gangster. You don’t become a billionaire by doing honest business. Throughout his depraved life, the prick has never told the truth, acted reasonably, treated his customers, or even his own family fairly.
I say off with his ugly, disgusting head!

Bezos Lawsuit: Pentagon Scraps $10 Billion Contract With Microsoft — July 6, 2021
The Defense Department is scrapping its $10 billion cloud-computing contract with Microsoft, ending the award process that’s been mired in a legal battle with Amazon.
The Pentagon’s announcement on Tuesday ends what has been a complicated and highly politicized saga of one of the most lucrative military tech contracts in U.S. history.
Amazon has been litigating the contract — known as JEDI — since 2019 when the company was stunned by its loss of the lucrative 10-year award to Microsoft. Amazon’s legal strategy has included a call for testimony from former President Donald Trump, arguing his disdain for company founder Jeff Bezos swayed the bidding process.
The Defense Department on Tuesday said the JEDI contract — short for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure — no longer met its needs “due to evolving requirements, increased cloud conversancy, and industry advances.”

U.S. tech giants’ vise over Israel tightens despite ceasefire
Tech employees and Palestinian rights activists want companies like Amazon and Google to sever their ties to the Israeli government and accuse Facebook of “silencing” their cause.
The aftermath of this month’s violence in the Gaza Strip is deepening the pressure on Google, Amazon and Facebook to reexamine their close ties to Israel — an effort that comes amid a broader reckoning over the militarization of the U.S. tech industry.

The World’s Top Tech Firms Turn to Israel
The ‘Top 10’ global tech companies – Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Alibaba, Intel, Oracle, Samsung and Baidu – have something in common: they’re all doing mission-critical work in Israel.
Up until this year, Amazon had only two lines of activity in Israel, one for its AWS business and a drone R&D facility in Herzliya, just north of Tel Aviv, for its Prime Air business. Those are two very important lines of business for Amazon in and of themselves. But now Amazon is hiring 100 Israeli engineers and natural language processing experts to boost Alexa, its smart virtual assistant. The idea here is to significantly advance Alexa’s vocal search capabilities for Amazon’s core business – retail. Once again, we’re seeing a global company, one of the most successful firms of all time, giving Israelis the toughest, most important, mission-critical challenges: Bring Alexa to life faster and better than anyone else, including Siri, Cortana, the Google app, or Bixby.

I never thought I would ever find myself quoting Prince William, but here I’m:
Forget space race and focus on saving Earth!
Prince William has suggested entrepreneurs should focus on saving Earth rather than engaging in space tourism.
He said great brains and minds should be “trying to repair this planet, not trying to find the next place to go and live”.
