Things are relatively calm on the surface here in NZ, but there is a lot going on behind the scenes. Some of us think life’s back to normal, while others think we are in the eye of the storm.
I tend to be in the latter group because I know our Governments not capable of admitting the covid response was unnessessary and over the top. The covid narrative is pretty much dead apart from the odd straggler, which leaves the door open for a lot of anger and resentment about the social carnage of the last few years.
It seems the Government has a few strategies in place to prevent or delay the chickens coming home to roost.
Firstly, they are hunting for the domestic terrorist.
A recent ‘documentary’ on TV had the following bizarre quote
“They use Pinterest and Instagram to draw in other women who are interested in interior design, childrens’ clothing, knitting, healthy food for children, and it does draw people in towards a set of white nationalist ideas. I mean it’s relatively easy to see, if you see a very beautiful, fair-skinned blonde or red haired child with beautiful braiding in her hair and some flowers, just step back a little bit (laughs) which is really distressing, because that’s my heritage”

Then they got the NZSIS involved! (Special Intelligence Service), who published a book on ‘warning signs’.
I won’t bore you with the details, but they cast a very wide net that catches just about everyone….eg
On page 13, These behaviours may indicate someone is developing or promoting a violent extremist ideology.
- Consumes violent extremist videos, media, music or messaging. (watches something like the ‘The bourne Identity’ ,news on TV, and listens to rap music)?
- Identifies with a violent extremist cause (Ukraine/Russia conflict anyone? one of these sides has to be extremist, right?, and it’s on the news every other day)
- Makes dehumanising, hostile or violent statements against individuals or groups they perceive as ‘the enemy’ or the ‘other’. (Wellington protest anyone? -you know, the one consisting of nurses, teachers, etc who were ignored by every MP in parliament and then violently driven off by the government)

I could go on but I guess you get the picture.
Secondly, they are silencing any ‘alternative’ opinions, least someone stray from the Government funded msm link
Thirdly, another lockdown!
Yesiree, if all else fails, get everyone stressed out about covid (again)
Yes, they are ramping up the rhetoric in the mainstream media and I’m starting to get persistent rumours about a possible lockdown around christmas!
This strategy could backfire on the Government big time. It’s been a long three years and I think we are all getting a bit tired of the constant ’emergencies’.
There’s an election late next year which is where some of us are confidently looking to vote them out.
The problem is though, that this government isn’t going to go gracefully. Buckle up folks!
P.S. We have no plans for Xmas just like last year. We just make it up as we go along, so we don’t get inconvenienced by ’emergencies’/’pandemics’/whatever.
