Shared from The BFD. although I don’t nessessily agree with it’s conclusions, the article accurately reflects how a lot of the unvaxxed are feeling right now.

“Now that the tyrant, Jacinda Ardern has seen the writing on the wall in the polls she has started to walk back her draconian and divisive mandate policies which have seen unvaccinated Kiwis treated worse than lepers.

There’s a moment in conversation when everything changes, Ben Visser says. It’s been happening for months when he’s been chatting away to a friend or stranger and the topic of vaccinations comes up. No, he’s not vaxxed, he’ll say, and then it’s all over.
“It’s like you’re dirty or dangerous, and you can see people recoil. As a result you feel segregated and often almost like a leper.”

I’ve ditched friends, some relatives, and I’ll never forget what they did in this madness. I’ve retained my more sensible friends, and I’ve found better friends. I’ve made lists of the businesses who banned me for daring to make a personal choice. I know what they did and I won’t be forgetting that their compliance effectively locked me out of society. I will never trade with those businesses again. They’ve lost my custom forever. I will not forget that they chose division over rational decision making.
Sure they were coerced, with fines and Worksafe action, but they still had a choice to make, and when they shunned me, they shunned my business forever.
What makes this all so much worse, is that the people they welcomed are the ones now infecting everyone else. It can’t have been us as we were banned.

“The mental damage caused by this will last for a while, and it’s a lot more severe than a lot of people realise.”
With the government expected to announce next week the winding down of restrictions, including mandates, the country is facing a long road back to social cohesion.
Some experts say the pathway lies in tough conversations, plenty of empathy and righting long-standing inequalities. Others say we may never get there, and that’s a price worth paying for the health benefits mandates have delivered.“

Stick your conversations up your proverbial, unless that conversation begins with an abject apology. We may forgive you, but that is for our peace of mind, but we saw what you did and we will remember that you chose fear over freedom. As we were constantly told, actions have consequences. Yes they do; you played silly games, so you get to win silly prizes.
He doesn’t blame NZers for their fear and mistrust of the unvaccinated and does believe things are changing. People don’t care so much about others’ vaccination statuses and some are already dumping requirements for vaccine passes.

Visser says although Kiwis are a forgiving bunch, it’s going to be a long road back to reuniting the country.
“It’s ruined a lot of the magic of being a New Zealander and that’s my problem with it.”
–Stuff.co.nz article

We are a forgiving bunch, but we aren’t at all forgetful. I don’t blame people for what was done to us, but I do blame politicians. We saw you. We saw politicians failing to stand up for freedoms and rights. We saw politicians trying to out do each other on who could be the more efficient fascists in ripping away our rights. We saw the cowardice of politicians when faced with the people they burned. We won’t forget.

I can tell you this much for free. I will NOT be voting for any party currently in the parliament. Not Labour, not National, not ACT, not Greens and not the Maori Party.
None of them deserves my vote. Not a single one.
My ire at what they did and cheered on knows no bounds. My loathing of them knows no depths. I will not hold my nose and vote for any of them. They and their parties are dead to me.

There is an undeniable rift in New Zealand. It has become a very dark and unforgiving place. I’m only picking up what the majority put down for me. Unless any conversation starts with an unequivocal and abject apology, with no buts or excuses then my ears will be closed.

I always wondered why unionists became militant and strident. I now know why. People didn’t listen to them.

I have not compromised my principles in all of this madness and I will not be compromising them in the future. I will help coordinate and facilitate ANY party that stands for freedom. We must never again slide into totalitarianism. But for that to happen the existing parties need some of the pain they visited on us. It’s coming, get ready for it. There needs to be utu. There needs to be a reckoning.
The person most responsible for the evil that was visited on us, is of course the tyrant, Jacinda Ardern.

She is unspeakably evil and what she did to society should be held against her for the rest of her natural life. She should be shunned, other than to protest her. Everywhere she goes she needs to be met with derision. Give nothing to tyrants.

Give nothing to those who aided and abetted the tyranny. We need a “wicked perfect storm” to obliterate the parties currently squatting in the parliament.
We need the same “wicked perfect storm” to obliterate the corrupted media who unquestionably ran the regime’s lines along with the useful idiots like Shaun Hendy, Siouxsie Wiles and especially Michael Baker. I have nothing but contempt for them all.

As a Christian, I am taught to turn the other cheek, to forgive. I can forgive, but sometimes it is necessary to go all Old Testament on some of these people so that they can feel our wrath. If we don’t then they’ll feel like they could give it another go. Nothing stops a bully faster than a kick in the teeth. I feel that the media and politicians need to feel the darkness.
I’m not feeling particularly forgiving at the moment. Now it’s much too late to turn the other cheek.

We warned everyone where this would end and now it’s here. It was never about health and it’s still not about health. It was about control: the elites wanted to see how far you could all be pushed.

The protesters, those who stood strong, those who said no, are the true heroes of this country.

Not lying politicians, not corrupt media. It was the protesters who have brought an end to all this. I was privileged to spend a few days at the protest. I see you all, and those who supported you. Freedoms and rights should never be compromised, and you stood there and frightened the elites so much that they needed brute force to end it. When the mandates end it is because of you. I salute your heroism.

Forgiveness is a long, long way off. We will remember forever what was done to us. Be brave, tell those who persecuted you that you saw them, and you won’t forget what they did. Tell them loud and long every day from this day forth.
Give nothing to them, and take everything, as after all that’s what they did to us.”

In the beginning, a death of a person ‘with’ covid was treated very seriously indeed, as indeed perhaps it should, because a person has died.

The problem with that analysis though, is that it doesn’t look at the situation objectively, or examine the facts in a logical fashion.

Was the person in good health, despite the covid? or were they near the end of their life expectancy, with a weak immune system?

For those who think I’m been callous and uncaring, you might want to consider that we all have a limited time on earth, and that no one is immortal. Death is a path we are all going to take eventually.
The older you are, the closer you are to moving on. (this why I don’t like wasting time, while I’m alive).

I’ve have recorded all the covid deaths in New Zealand from the first one on 29 March 2020. I have recorded their name, age, place of residence, date of death, etc.

As we have progressed from Alpha, through Delta to Omicron, it’s been getting harder to get any details at all, due to ‘privacy issues’. As of last week, there were 63 deaths ‘with’ covid.

Those 63 deaths include a guy who got shot and died at the scene.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/300451032/new-lynn-homicide-man-senselessly-shot-dead-outside-motel-had-covid19

then there’s the man who died of a stroke in quarantine, and another who died in hospital after been admitted for a trauma incident.

If the UK and Italian stats are anything to go by, the actual number of deaths who actually died ‘from’ Covid is around 3 – 12% of the total who died ‘with’ covid.

The main thing to note about New Zealand though, is a distinct lack of deaths ‘due’ to covid. (63 as of last week)

As of today though (this week), NZ officially has had 93 deaths to covid, from a population of 5.1 million.

The numbers have gone up dramatically in the last week, because they have ‘redefined’ what a covid death is.

The Ministry of health in their wisdom have ‘redefined’ a covid death as anyone who has died within 28 days of testing positive for covid.

“Deceased -Includes all cases that died who died within 28 days of being reported as a COVID-19 case. In some of these cases, the underlying cause of death may have been unrelated to COVID-19.”

I guess they have to justify all these lockdowns and social upheaval somehow.

UPDATE, now 113 official deaths, amazing how the numbers climb with a bit of tinkering with the statistics.

While the world is distracted by the Ukraine affair, This happened to the Wellington protest about Mandates, and discrimination against the unvaccinated.

This post is shared from THE BFD, The BFD | The Tyranny Is upon Us All

“The 2nd of March was the dawning of a new more violent era by the Ardern regime. The tyrant deployed the strong arm of her jackbooted Police thugs, who used tear gas, pepper spray, batons, riot shields, rubber bullets, sonic weapons and fire hoses on peaceful protestors on the grounds of Parliament.

If she was prepared to use violence on the steps of parliament then she would be prepared to use it anywhere.

Not even Robert Muldoon, who had the Bastion Point protest cleared with Police, dogs and batons and used the full violent force of Police to attack protestors during the Springbok Tour, used tear gas on citizens. Yesterday the tyrant‘s blue shirts did just that.

Yesterday was the day the tyrant showed that “Kindness” was just a slogan. Her new “kindness” now involves tear gas and batons.

Her refusal to address the protesters, followed by an assault by the police on largely peaceful protesters and their property is largely to blame for this. But it was not just Ardern. It was all of the politicians.

Christopher Luxon could have gone out and spoken to them. It would have been a great moment for him, showing he was willing to talk and negotiate. Now we know the truth. He’s a cowardly elitist who deserves nothing but opprobrium. This is as much on him as it is on the tyrant he supported.

I’ll be disappointed if anyone in the current MP lineup gets in at the next election. They’re like rabbits bewitched by the stare of a stoat.

Her Police Commissioner said he wanted to avoid violence but his shock troops visited that upon the protestors yesterday as they violently cleared Parliament’s grounds. They achieved yesterday the same result he said he wanted to avoid: what an idiot.

Whether Antifa-types were involved or not, the police actions today pushed people to their absolute limit and some cracked and pushed back. The tyrant had the temerity to then hold a press conference and blame the protestors. Talk about out of touch.

The protest was peaceful until the police moved in.

The complicit media cheered them on, and the tyrant stood at the podium of truth and lied as she has never lied before.

While she said police expected hostility, resistance and violence, “It is another thing entirely to witness it”. And boy did we witness it as the Police used tear gas fired into the crowd, pepper-sprayed media filming and used extreme violence and force while wantonly destroying property in an act of spite and vengeance.

The violence was perpetrated by Police on protestors, not the other way around. At times during the protest when Police stopped advancing, we never once saw protestors advance on Police.

Jacinda Ardern caused this when she created two classes of citizens: she demonised, ostracised and cancelled people for making a choice to exercise their rights under our Bill of Rights.

She cut them out of society, cost them their jobs, their careers and their businesses. Why is she surprised that they set up a camp on Parliament’s lawn? Why is she surprised to see them refuse to leave?

It is Ardern who has radicalised these people, not three nice mums having Zoom meetings.

Ardern’s draconian policies are falling down around her. Her vaccine mandates, vaccine passports, vaccines, booster and lockdowns are all failing before our eyes. She can’t blame the unvaccinated for the huge outbreak as they were shut out of society.

This chart shows clearly that the vaccines, vaccine mandates, vaccine passports and mask mandates aren’t working. If they are working then explain all those vaxxed and boosted cases. You won’t be able to and neither can the tyrant.

But, like a true narcissistic tyrant who thinks she is not responsible, she stood there and declared that the people she marginalised as “Not Us”…they are them, the other people.

The “Team of Five Million” was a lie; so was “Kindness”. Yesterday we saw what her kindness looked like, and it was awful.

Yesterday we watched our democracy burn, and it was at the hands of the Police. If the tyrant thinks this is going to go away by bashing people and destroying what was left of their lives that her policies ruined, then she’d best think again.

She will literally have to hide now as people unleash ugly anger on an out of control tyrant who cannot see beyond her own lies and slogans. If she thought a few protestors heckling her at a school was bad, she hasn’t seen anything yet.

We are looking at an out of touch despot, desperately clinging to power through her mandates now violently enforced by the Police.

The Police have now destroyed any respect in them as they trampled old people, women and children. They tear-gassed people and pepper-sprayed children and journalists. They were the aggressors, and they can no longer be trusted. They abandoned their values and trampled our human rights. They disgust me.

Police Commissioner Coster should resign. It is obvious that he has been lying about wanting to de-escalate things, and instead plotted to visit hell on the protestors.

Jacinda Ardern and Trevor Mallard must go too. In fact, I hope the whole parliament is emptied of the cowards and quislings that infect the place.

Never before have I been so angry at a tyrannical government. I will do everything within my power to see the end of every party currently in parliament.”
