Lucia Maria is now posting on Substack

I'm done with Google and Blogger. My transition started earlier this year after major issues with the user-interface here at Blogger.  I don't think Google really cares about this platform anymore and therefore are not keeping it fresh, modern and useable.  It was fine ten years ago, but now on a large screen it's truly painful to use. What prompted the final transfer was the most ridiculous censorship applied to this blog against posts that were ten years or older.  Someone must have fainted reading them and complained when they picked themselves up, and the morons receiving the complaint either couldn't read or it was an AI that is just unable to cope with the inputted data.  I will follow up on the three posts at some point, especially the satirical one, which really deserves to be re-read by a new audience. Take into account, whoever you are, that everything you complain about tells me something about you.  Find me on Substack for future posts , totally free...

Reality of what the Protest Was - Compared to the Final Takedown

  On Ash Wednesday, March 2nd, police violently removed the protestors camped outside of Parliament that had been there since arriving by convoy. The protest had arrived at Parliament on 8th February with the initial convoy that came from all parts of the country.  People had come to protest against the seemingly never-ending mandates and restrictions placed upon New Zealander's lives for the last two years.  It is very likely that Jacinda Ardern, after earlier declaring the protest was not a protest, had decided the protestors must go; and having made her wishes clear, it was inevitable it would be ended by police, no matter what.

NZ Parliament Protest: Thin End Wedge Rebuttal

As police play for rain, protesters represent the thin end, but there's no wedge | Luke Malpass | Stuff | The political question being asked is whether this protest represents some sort of thinend of the wedge – of a much larger silent majority out there, which the few protesters represent. Or whether it is simply the thin end. It is almost certainly the latter. Over the past couple of years, the Ministry of Health has commissioned Horizon Research to conduct survey about the public’s attitude towards vaccinations. There we have it; the prime blunder in determining how representative of New Zealand the protestors at Parliament might be. As if supporting vaccination somehow translates into supporting vaccination mandates, the segregation of society, the never-ending restrictions and everything else that goes with those major positions of Ardern's government.

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 witho...

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. Besides, (he says) it is the World Health Organisation that wants NZ and every other country to count these numbers in a way that may make them seem higher, so when such a reputable organisation requests this, there is no need to think that there is anything strange about counting Gun Shot deaths, or heart attacks, or cancer deaths as anything but COVID deaths.   Except when I go to the WHO website and look at their stats, I see they already have the data feed up showing 33 deaths in NZ due t...

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 ...

World Vaccine Mandate Protest Images

"We will not comply" - "Our Kids are NOT Lab Rats" - "COVID 1984" - "We have the RIGHT to say NO"

COVID-1984

I took the double jab, but requiring a passport to work, to eat, to live, that is not choice. This is a Sophie's choice. It has gone too far. Note carefully - it is 100% compliance, not 90% that has been requested.  90% is when they hope to have the vaccine passport checking system ready. Only 100% of people with passports can participate in society. It wont even matter if you take a test and come up clean, you MUST have the jabs and MUST have a passport. Kudos to AtomAntBoy for this excellent summation, if the YouTube clip is not banned. I took the double jab, but requiring a passport to work, to eat, to live, that is not choice.

Large Protests in Europe and Australia

There are large and continuous protests overseas over the vaccine passport that supposed democratic governments in lockstep seem determined to mandate over the wishes of their populations.  While as in New Zealand, we are still at the protest over lockdowns stage. This burden has been carried mostly by Brian Tamaki and his congregation, with most of everyone else cowed into submission and compliance.

Covid-19 Vaccine Passport for Entering Businesses and Working is a Terrible Idea

Saturday Morning Radio Alarm Saturday mornings used to be a relaxing time. The radio would turn on to wake me up with Jack Tame on Newstalk ZB talking about something trivial. Very little that was memorable, but that's what you want on a Saturday morning. Certainly you don't want something that is straight out of 1984 or a similar dystopian future. When Jack Tame introduced his opinion on vaccination passports, I was initially disturbed.  The disturbance then led to alarm which led to texting Jack just what I thought of his opinion. John Key and the Wannabe Totalitarians Sure, I've been hearing the same thing ever since John Key upset the narrative by coming out of hibernation .  All and sundry and have been since espousing the benefits of a vaccination passport, the ultimate in protection, a bright, shining future where that the vaccinated will to be able to have full freedom of movement without fear of The Virus or Government Lockdowns.  Those few that resist will ev...
