New Zealand Conservative

  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.

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.

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.

This burden has been carried mostly by Brian Tamaki and his congregation, with most of everyone else cowed into submission and compliance.

New Zealand needs to start counting down remaining eligible unvaccinated people, not count vaccines given - epidemiologist - Newshub, 17 October 2021

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...
