The VFF  Freedom Awards were held recently to acknowledge the tireless effort put in by  some very dedicated, professional, and determined individuals over the last few years.

A description of some of the award winning organisations in no particular order is below…

NZDSOS  (New Zealand Doctors speaking out with Science)

A group of health professionals who are appalled at the censorship and coercion in response to the Covid-19 outbreak. They are doctors and nurses who have mostly been mandated out of their jobs, and who do their best to help where ever they can.

The Health Forum

https://thehealthforumnz.co.nz/

It’s headed by the the tireless Lynda Wharton helping the vaccine injured in any way she can, and getting their stories and experiences out there when at a time where no one wants to know about them. A prominent ‘journalist’ once refered to these victims as ‘nessessary colateral damage’.

Voices for Freedom (VFF)

https://www.voicesforfreedom.co.nz/

It’s Run by 3 quiet, but determined women, who are very effective. The recent media witch hunt for VFF members, who ran in the local elections, underlines this.

Groundswell

https://www.groundswellnz.co.nz/

This group represents the Farmers of New Zealand who have been steadily put under increasing pressure, with unrealistic and unworkable regulations. the latest one will wipe out upto 20% of farm production.

They have done a few nationwide protests, which are generally supported by other likeminded groups.

NZ is becoming a very divided country in much the same way that the USA appears to have with their ongoing politics. (at least that’s the impression I get from what’s reported here in NZ.)

It might of been nice for us growing up in the 1980’s/1990’s , and living in a relatively carefree environment, but this is disappearing quickly from where I’m standing.

The covid ‘plandemic’ has even put kids in the frontline, requiring them to be vaccinated to save the old and infirm. Our kids deserve so much better!

The world is becoming a much smaller place due to social media and the internet, and it can be hard to maintain a neutral position in such a polarised situation.

This leaves us with several choices..

• Do nothing and hope it all comes right somehow
• Hide in plain sight like a zebra
• Retire to somewhere nice in the country -this option is disappearing with the increase of beaucracy and regulations that intrude into just about everything these days, and it doesn’t solve any problems.
• Fight back and do something about it

To this end, I ran for a place on the city council in the local elections recently.

I did this knowing full well, that I wasn’t going to be successful, purely due to a lack of a public profile. (I’m no social butterfly)

My policies were core services only, zero rate increases, and local control of water (stop three waters), etc.
This is because I don’t think we are out of this covid plandemic yet, and inflation is going to hurt a lot of people very hard.

In the end, there were more candidates that I expected, and media attention obsession with the ‘voices for freedom’ candidates,

This polarised things somewhat, but no matter, standing up for I think matters, matters.
