Setting up for the long haul

I’ve lost count of the number of protests and pop-ups I’ve done this year, and all this while working full time and spending that all important time with the family.

I’ve come to the conclusion that the average Kiwi doesn’t care about much unless it affects them directly, and even then they are likely to just persevere with any issue, and proudly tell everyone just how good they are at persevering. (virtue signalling).

That attitude doesn’t solve anything, it just makes you feel better about it.

It going to be interesting next year when both inflation and the Governments decisions against on farms, water services, and oil supplies start to take effect.

The majority of houses in New Zealand have a morgage on them, so any increase of inflation causes an increase of interest rates.
It could be a buyers market, especially if you are cashed up.

As for me and my family, we are all sorted and ready for the coming storm.

Covid round three for Xmas?

The media has been steadily ramping up the hysteria again, based on an increse of ‘covid deaths’.

A covid death in NZ is defined as anyone who dies within 28 days of having covid. These will be people with one foot in the grave already, and in their 70’s at least.

Given what I’ve written above, I guess you can predict the over reactions that are about to take place..

Basically this means I’ll be adopting a ‘Do it today before the Government bans it tomorrow’ attitude to life, at least for the next six months or so.

The trick is to just take life day by day. eg, I might be allowed to go to work today, but not nessessarily tomorrow.

There are many possibilities as to how this will pan out, because Government decisions are made on the spur of the moment according to how they feel and what the polls tell them.

It’s possible they will double down and lockdown the unvaccinated, in which case I’ve got lots of projects around the house to do.

It’s also possible people will simply disregard any ‘guidelines’ enmass, making enforcement impossible.

Anything is possible.

I let you know how it goes…..

Campaigning against Government overeach

Is everyone a terrorist?

The TVNZ documentary ‘rivers of chaos’ inferred people who use instagram, and pinterest, and take photo’s of their kids with braided hair, etc are potentially dangerous people -video below

you have to see it to believe it.

“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, there is a handout from the NZSIS which labels just about everyone as a potentual ‘domestic terrorist’

The Taxpayers union has now brought to my attention, proposed new leglislation which can easily be used to prosecute almost anyone as a ‘terrorist’

Every party in Parliament (except the Maori Party) has supported Minister Kiri Allan’s Counter-Terrorism Acts Bill. Clause 15 of this Bill redefines the term ‘terrorist’ and makes it possible for some who possess ‘objectionable material’ to be charged under terrorism legislation… even though the material has NOTHING to do with terrorism.

Their petition is here <<Sign our petition now to tell the Government keep terrorism charges for terrorist acts. >>

I guess the reasoning behind all this to create a ‘chilling effect’, and silence the critic’s.

About the only thing I’m going to do is wear my VFF (Voices For Freedom) gear more often, and keep on doing what I’m doing, regardless. Fear within myself is not something to be tolerated.

UPDATE -One day after I wrote this article, They dropped the terrorism alert level down to low from medium. seems like they want to keep everyone on their toes, anxiously waiting for their next announcement.
