Four years ago, the world was a different place.

New Zealand had decided to go to war against covid!

Covid propaganda was everywhere, and anyone questioning the narrative voices were silenced.
It was certainly a lesson of how 1940’s Germany came about, and how it could have been much worse, if it wasn’t for people standing up against the mandates.

(it’s notable that the killings started in Germany after opposition voices either gave up or were silenced somehow.)

It was a pretty dark time, and you simply lived day to day.

Nothing could be relied on -freedom of travel, the ability to go to work, pay the morgage, schools could, (and did) close at the drop of a hat.
I remember the relentless pressure to get vaccinated and still get routinely tested anyway. (I still don’t get the logic of that) , every radio would be blaring out ad’s every 5 minutes about covid. The ad’s were always very emotive and were changed every week or so.
Facebook in particular were been censored (The Government had access to facebook)

I could go on, but I’m sure you get the picture by now.

I wanted to record those times as accurately as I could, hence the reason for this blog.

New Zealand today is a totally different place, hence this blog is now more about my life’s journey than anything else.

I can’t see myself closing this blog though, even if I have nothing interesting to write about, because I want to keep the memories of those times alive, least we forget, and make the same mistakes again.
