A new year starts in NZ

I dont think there are many people here who fondly remember 2023. The only notable highpoint is a change of Government, which is yet (if ever) to make any substantial changes for the good….

One of the fallacies thats quite common is the thoery that a change of Government will fix everything, and suddenly everything will be OK. -just like in the movies.

But life is not a movie, it doesn’t always have a happy ending, and problems aren’t found and fixed within the short timeframe that the movie is on.

Life is ongoing.

The solutions to NZ’s problems are within everyone on an individual basis.

Those solutions are to stand on your own feet, think rationally, stop been gaslighted, and think locally rather than globally. (I could add to this list, but I’m sure you get the point)

I think 2024 is going to be a year of uncertainty for most people. The trick for me is to navigate these uncertain times for my family and I and get to where we want to go.

Thats going to mean avoiding having to rely on people that wont or cant make decisions -I haven’t got time.

We all have a limited time on earth -dont waste it.

repost -General Christian Blanchon’s Tribute to the Unvaccinated.

Video in English

This is General Christian Blanchon’s message in honor of the unvaccinated:

“They’re there, by your side, they seem normal, but they’re superheroes.

Even if I were fully vaccinated, I would admire the unvaccinated for withstanding the greatest pressure I have ever seen, including from spouses, parents, children, friends, coworkers, and doctors.

Those capable of such character, courage, and critical thinking undoubtedly embody the best of humanity.

They are everywhere, in all ages, levels of education, countries and opinions.

They are of a special kind. They are the soldiers that any Army of the Light would wish to have in their ranks.

They are the parents every child desires and the children every parent dreams of.

They are beings that transcend the average of their societies, they are the essence of the peoples who have built all cultures and conquered all horizons.

They are with you, by your side, they seem normal, but they are superheroes.

They did what others could not, they were the tree that withstood the hurricane of insults, discrimination and social exclusion.

And they did it because they thought they were alone, and they thought they were alone.

Shut out from their families’ Christmas tables, they have never seen anything so gruesome. They lost their jobs, they dropped their careers, they had no money…

… but they persevered.

They suffered immeasurable discrimination, denunciations, betrayals and humiliations….

… nevertheless they remained steadfast.

Never before in human history has there been such a “casting”, we now know who the resistance fighters are on planet earth.

Women, men, old, young, rich, poor, of all races and all religions, the unvaccinated, the chosen of the invisible ark, the only ones who managed to resist when everything collapsed.

They are the ones who passed an unimaginable test that many of the toughest Marines, Commandos, Green Berets, Astronauts and Geniuses could not pass.

You are made of the stuff of the greatest that ever lived, those heroes born of common men who glow in the dark.”
