Unless you agree with us completely you shall not speak

Over the last few months I've been wondering just is and and is not allowed to be said about the covid disaster that is unfolding in the brave new world of New Zealand, 2021.   There have been hints as to what it could not be uttered in the rapidly cut off callers to Newstalk ZB.   One night, while talking out loud to himself, Marcus Lush of NewstalkZB indicated that he couldn't allow any opinions that could spread disbelief.   Nick Mills, the Wellington morning host, has over time perfecting his technique for stopping callers, after initially just talking over them proved too much for him.  Last week he talked over someone who had lost his job due to the vaccine mandates, making sure to not let him speak more than several words before interrupting and filling the airwaves with his own voice.  Later on, someone tried to say something was completely and utterly cut off, so who knows what was said that was so horrendous, that it was dumped without a word. This censorship has

COVID Numbers Game

So, New Zealand publishes 33 deaths due to COVID. These deaths include a person that died from a gunshot wound, and a bunch of others that died from their underlying medical conditions. The Gunshot Wound death just highlights, in a way that is easily understandable to most people, that wherever the numbers can be inflated, they will be inflated. Sure, Dr Bloomfield mentions that they will track this somehow in a way that the figures are all explainable, and wont be manipulated or misconstrued.

Body language of our PM as she admits creating two classes of people

Wow, weird seeing and hearing that infamous clip of Jacinda Ardern admitting she is creating two classes of people being slowed down like that.  Thank you Derek Cheng of the NZ Herald, for the gift that keeps on giving.

Media don't want COVID to end

Interesting how in a number of countries hit hard with severe restrictions on civil liberties since the start of the COVID pandemic, the media has been overwhelmingly pro-lockdown, pro-terrifying the population on the dangers of COVID, pro-destroying our lives at any cost to "defeat" this virus.  When life  is crazy, it is easy to just focus on your local news.  As insanity piling on insanity takes hold, local news demands attention, and the bubble of focus becomes quite small.  Especially when you are working and have to think about work things. However, having spend the last month researching news in Australia especially, with some British and US news thrown it, and having watched and read the voices of reason rather than whimpering bed-hiding as seems to be the case here in NZ, I can see that this phenomenon of media complicity in government messaging is widespread.  As Mark Dolan, of GB News (UK media) says in the video below (dated last week), the majority of the media d
