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.

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’

VFF satire in response

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 BillClause 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.

Bittersweet Days

Are we done with covid yet?, or is another ’emergency’ coming?

The Government is working overtime ramming legislation thru the house as fast as they can with no real opposition apart from public opinion via the all important polls.

We are in effect run by mob rule and a power mad PM, hence why the mandates happened despite the issue of individual human rights.

Since we were plainly misled in a plan to just vaccinate everything that moves, this leaves me wondering whats coming next, which means not planning too far ahead, but working on contingency plans instead.

I think we have mostly won the battle of the mandates, it just that no one openly admits that, because that implicitly admits we were right.

I’ve sort of noticed that people are quite friendly towards towards me these days, the same people that thought I was a traitorous fool a year ago. One even told me I didn’t deserve to go to hospital because I wasn’t vaccinated. (for the record, it’s actually the vaccinated that are filling up the hospitals)

School camps, etc are still haunted by virtue signalling clowns testing positive, telling everyone who will listen, and making it very hard on the organisers, who end up either trying to isolate them or close the camp early, and send everyone home.
It basically becomes an incentive not to send your kids on a camp.

I have some rather haunting posts from this time last year, which in hindsight illustrate just how crazy it was last year.

We haven’t forgotten how we were treated, and we are sort of heading towards Xmas almost with a feeling of well, cautiousness.

My daughters came up with plans for Xmas, so we are just going to do these on the spur of the moment

Perhaps given the extensive list, well just do one or two of them…

The Total, Utter and Complete Backdown on Hate Speech Legislation

I was certain that this Labour Government was going to foist Hate Speech laws on us. There were six specific proposals: Increase the number groups protected under the Human Rights Act, from the status quo protecting groups based on their “colour, race or ethnic or national origins” to also include “sex, gender (including gender identity), […]
