Read this my feeble friends and fellow slaves… who tremble at the thought of the smallest inconveniences should they be so foolish as to believe Freedom was worth any personal risk or sacrifice…. is not such a celestial article of the highest value?
“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Michael W Smith.
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”
The small Bay of Plenty Town of Opotiki was centre stage for New Zealand news this week after a regional Gang Boss was murdered.
The victim was Mongrel Mob ‘Barbarians’ Chapter President Stephen Rota Taiatini.
Word is he was taken out… Run down by a Ute… following shortly after MM associates did a hit on a rival gang residence, thus fueling fears of a Gang war.
News media report the town became ‘locked down’, not by Police investigating the crime, but was ‘taken over’ by the Mongrel Mob, as gang members from far and wide congregated in Opotiki in a display of Gang solidarity and strength.
They were controlling who was allowed in and out of certain areas.
Gang ‘Tangi’ are some of the biggest funerals that happen in New Zealand, esp when the deceased is a Gang Boss.
Hundreds of motorcycles, trucks, and gang sleds rumbling about, doing burn outs and other general Thuggy deeds. Schools shut down for fears of children’s safety.
Media says the Police are out numbered and have lost control of the situation.
This could not have happened at a worse time for New Zealand’s crumbling Woke Labour government.
Jacinda Ardern destroyed the Kiwi Dream and then abandoned her country leaving her political comrades to bear the fallout of her incompetence, our angry nation reeling under heavy inflation and a violent crime wave.
True to her own megalomania she now gives zero fucks about what’s happening in her wake. She’s ‘reluctantly’ accepted a Damehood, and is moving on to far more important things.
It has been the fate of Chris Hipkins to inherit her legacy and despite trying to back peddle on many of Ardern’s unpopular Woke policies, Labour is looking at defeat to a National and Act Party coalition.
Limp wristed Policing under woke Ardern is being blamed for a huge spike in violent crime, armed robberies, and Ram raids, etc. The NZ Police having been Rainbow-ised woke-a-fied and told not to pursue criminals, but allow them to get away… for fear they might crash. The Labour Government’s ‘Dis-information project’ leading the narrative that White supremacy, and far right ideology are the greatest dangers running rampant in New Zealand communities. ( Not Crime, Not Gangs, Not Maori radicalism, Not Green Extremism) Our Radical Leftist government and their extremist auxiliaries in the Green Party and the Maori Party are retraining the NZ Police to think ordinary New Zealanders who seek to retain their traditional rights and values are New Zealand’s greatest criminal elements!
What is now happening in Opotiki demonstrates all this and so much more.
Chris Hipkins and the Police have characteristically bumbled this situation.
As soon as news of this murder reached Police HQ, Bus loads of Police should have been dispatched quick smart to Opotiki, and The Police should have been in strong enough numbers to maintain Law and Order.
That Opotiki would soon swarm with Gang members was as predictable as night follows day!
The Police ought to have been respectful of well behaved Mongrel Mob members visiting Opotiki, which they have every right to do, yet not allow them to ‘take over control of the town’ and disrupt ordinary folk safely going about their own business, And to make it clear who is in charge.
But this did not happen.
Leading opposition Party, National’s Christopher Luxon has been election campaigning on Labours Law and order catastrophe said ”
“Right now a town in New Zealand has been overtaken by a gang. Schools are closed. Public transport has been cancelled. And Chris Hipkins’ response? It’s not his job to deal with crime,” Luxon tweeted on Tuesday.
“The people in Ōpōtiki are living in fear due to gang tension. They deserve better. They deserve leadership. National will get tough on crime and restore law and order.”
The National Party leader said New Zealand can’t afford three more years of a “soft-on-crime” Labour Government.
According to Te Pati Maori (Maori Party) MP Rawiri Waititi both gangs involved in this murder are Te Whakatohea ‘whanau’, and incidentally Waititi himself belongs to this tribe, and therefore considers himself the only MP in parliament ‘worthy’ to discuss these matters.
I, TWikiriwhi, first became aware of the unfolding chaos in Opotiki from a Twitter post that included a TV1 News report. A comment was made that the display of weakness on the part of the Police… just makes the Gangs bolder and stronger…
*This is an absolutely essential dynamic to appreciate* and demonstrates why Ardern’s soft on crime approach has led to a break down in Law and order in New Zealand under her piss weak woke philosophy of ‘kindness’.
The Law will only be respected by the Lawless, when it is backed up with sufficient force to ensure compliance. Janis-like Ardern had no qualms about bringing in the Brute squad when Peaceful protesters were protesting against her tyrannical Covid 19 dictates and woke agenda!
The contrast is stark See here. Its obvious who the Labour government considers ‘dangerous’… ie their Non-woke politically conservative critics who reject woke tyranny. No Hugs for them! They get the Jackboots!
This is basic stuff, yet Woke ideologues in power today have abandoned the fundamentals in favour of their own political delusions.
Their duplicity ought to be obvious to all.
That Law and order must be upheld and enforced is as true today as it was way back in the 1800s, when New Zealand first took root as a British colony.
More on this soon…
This is when I decided to add my 5 cents worth to the public discourse.
I have a soft spot for Opotiki.
I like Opotiki, love that part of the Bay of Plenty and have spent many summer weekends down that way, and enjoy riding my own motorcycle through those parts.
I am also passionate about the study of New Zealand history in which some very significant events took place in Opotiki and surrounding regions in the mid 1860s.
Having laid down the preceding perspectives, my readers can understand the context in which I entered this discussion… with the following comment…
“If only Kiwis knew their history.
Trouble is not new to Opotiki. In the 1860s Maori Rebel ‘gangs’ the Hau hau murdered a peaceful Missionary there named Volkner. The Colonials gov sent Warships and fought many battles to bring the Murderers to justice. The Law must be upheld.”
This comment solicited an interesting historical discussion about the events surrounding the Murder of Christian Missionary Carl Volkner which led onto claims of injustice on the part of the Colonial Gov in their response to Volker’s horrendous murder upon the Te Whakatohea Iwi, Land confiscations, and supposed unjust trials and hangings.
The claim was “The people of Te Whakatohea were innocent…”
I will discuss this divergence of the topic in part 2 of my blog commentary.
Presently I’ll stick with my original intent.
The main point of my Twitter comment was to contrast the resolve of the 1860s Colonial government to expedite Justice for Volkner, and put down lawlessness that was spreading about the Opotiki region back then, with our current governments dismal display of incompetence and weakness in Opotiki today with this gang murder, esp the breakdown in ordinary life for the citizens of Opotiki hiding in their homes in fear of Gang outlawry that threatens to escalate into more violence and possible revenge killings.
This ain’t no Sunday picnic!
The Police had better get control of the situation before more people get shot!
The response to Volkners murder by the Colonial government which included Pro-government contingents of ‘Kaupapa’ Maori needs to be understood in context of the period of Colonial history in which there were many challenges to the Sovereignty of Queen Victoria by Rebel tribes, at which time the success of the colony hung in the balance.
Even more than this it needs to be understood that The Colonial Government was only now…. 25 years after the signing of the Treaty beginning to properly enforce British Rule, Law and order over the entire country.
Prior to this the Government was not strong enough to police the whole country, to the effect that outside the centers of colonial activity (like Russel, Auckland and Wellington) there were large tracts of Land in which British law was not enforced and in which Tribal chiefs continued to be a law unto themselves just as they had prior to the treaty.
Waka NeNe.
Heke’s rebellion in the North was swiftly put down and order restored with the help of Friendly Ngapuhi Chiefs such as the Famous Waka Nene, yet the reality is in the period between 1840 and 1860 Crimes/ violations of British Law were being committed by Rouge Maori who were not at all afraid to defy British Law as they had learned that the Colonial Government was weak… and would not visit Utu upon them should they slaughter Pakeha.
The most infamous example of this being Te Raupraha’a slaughter of 18 Pakeha in what is know as ‘The Wairau Incident’.
In a display of Weakness Governor FitzRoy failed to bring anyone to justices for these cold calculated murders, signaling to these Warlike Chiefs that according to the rules of Utu… Pakeha were of no consequence, and could be murdered with impunity.
It was this show of weakness that would encourage ongoing acts of defiance, that would eventually lead to the wars of Rebellion in the 1860s.
Note: Gangs understand and operate on this principle of UTU. If a rival Gang takes out one of your guys, by the rule of Utu there must be pay back.
Weakness, and retreat on the part of government will breed greater contempt for the Law and be exploited to its fullest.
Yet In a modern Civil society UTU for Murder is delegated to the State Justice system. The State ought to recompense the guilty.
This breaks the Old-world cycle of UTU.
It is the Duty of the New Zealand Police and justice system to see to it the Killer(s) of New Zealand citizen Stephen Rota Taiatini are brought to Justice.
Though Taiatini was a Gang member. He is still a New Zealand citizen with full rights, and our government is duty bound to solve his murder.
It was the realisation that for the colony to succeed that this situation had to change, and that rebellious chiefs had to be made to understand that British sovereignty and Law would be upheld across the whole nation, and that there was no forest beyond reach of Government forces, to which they could escape, that signaled the end of Lawlessness in New Zealand.
Cannibal Hau Hau ‘Prophet’ Kereopa Te Rau. Also known as… ‘Kaiwhatu’ The Eye Eater. The Murderer of Missionary Carl Volkner.
When these matters are understood the development of the Colony, and New Zealand as a Nation makes perfect sense, and these events can be understood as the birth pangs of shifting from a Land of Tribal anarchy to that of a unified peaceful and prosperous nation… from which Everyone has benefitted, including Maori.
Nobody but Criminals prosper when there is a break down in civil order.
In preparation for part 2 of this commentary, I want to finish here on a comment I made during the twitter discourse with a Wahine who was making a case that Te Whakatohea had suffered injustices.
“I’ve only one interest. The preservation of Truth. I’d be happy to dialogue with you about these events as long as you realise in the process I harbour no malice towards anyone in arguing the case for the contemporary historic records. It can be difficult to discuss such things”
So it is that I will dig deeper into the claims she has made about what happened in the Bay of Plenty that was triggered by the Martyrdom of Carl Volkner, yet I must reiterate the motives of my heart in so doing. I harbour no evil intents towards Te Wharatohea. I wish for their prosperity and blessing.
Yet if we are to discuss the history of these events, and truth and understanding are the goals, then it will only be possible if the truth is spoken with forthright confidence without fear that it might cause offence.
No malice intended.
Because of the subject matter, and because of the heavy Politicization of Treaty claims, and other highly controversial aspects it is inevitable that some of the things I will say will not be pleasant to swallow.
This being so… It’s highly likely that despite my honorable intentions, after I have posted the second part, any further conversation could descend into animosity and the taking of offence.
Will I suffer slander as to my character for daring to state things in a way that undermines much of what is being claimed today, by vested interests as to what really happened?
We shall see.
Perhaps the dialogue will remain relatively calm and learning will achieved on both sides.
That is my sincere hope.
I maintain an open ear.
Only evil prospers when lies prevail.
Sometimes it takes bravery to speak the truth.
I love Opotiki.
I harbour no ill will over the History of our Nation.
Yet today our Nation suffers Deep politically manufactured Racial divide.
Upon understanding the truth the future peace of our nation depends.
(NaturalNews) First comes a guy curing his stage 4 prostate cancer with baking soda. Next a woman cures her cancer with carrot juice while some time ago a UK farmer cured his cancer with wheat grass juice. Now there’s an obscure study proving garlic kills brain cancer cells without side effects.
There’s no money in any of that – only healing. Darn! How’s the cancer industry going to exploit cancer victims and create huge fund raising revenues if this type of news gets out?
A small group of researchers at Medical University of South Carolina discovered something that’s useful for anyone willing to properly consume lots of garlic. They discovered that certain organo-sulfur compounds in garlic do kill brain cancer cells without disturbing healthy cells.
But they did this in 2007! It didn’t get much mainstream press, if any. Did we miss something? Maybe Big Pharma is trying to figure out how to create those compounds synthetically to get a patent and pay the FDA for approval after offering dubious papers from sketchy trials.
Whether it’s useful for the cancer industry remains to be seen. But the results of this study haven’t received much if any attention from the mainstream press. Apparently, there wasn’t even a ripple within the medical establishment.
Instead of using the study to further explore natural methods of nipping brain cancer in the bud, the cancer industry encourages beginning “proven medical treatments” as early as possible. Treatments like surgery, radiation and chemotherapy offer 15 months or fewer of practicing efficient drool cup use before dying. But these “treatments” are proven money makers.
The reason this is true, is because You suffered these things when you were a helpless child, and so as you have become stronger you have sworn never to allow anyone to do these things to you again… and when it appears someone is trying to do that to you… the reaction is anger.
Yet most often it is a mistake on our part. They are *not* seeking to reduce you… They are not your oppressor… We need to learn how to deal with such feelings and redirect them away from rage…. when you understand this… it’s liberating… from a curse that has haunted and enslaved you from your youth…
Tim Wikiriwhi.
Christian Libertarian.
I’m not PC.
I believe in Free Speech.
Some turns of phrase are subtil, others are overt.
I enjoy good colorful conversation and retoric yet I also appreciate plain straight talk, esp from politicians and bureaucrats.
It is to be preferred rather than smarmy forked tonged calculated spin.
From how language is used we can glean insights into the speakers mindset.
Provocative language always seeks to steer the reader down a garden path….
We need to ask ourselves why this path?
From the title of this article you can see what motivated me to write… The Director of The Disinformation Project, Kate Hannah, recently appeared on TV 1 making extremist statements about a recent surge in what she describes as Anti-transgenda *Hate* online and that it was *genocidal* in nature!
If anyone has not figured it out yet that Woke Ex-PM Jacinda Ardern set up the Disinformation project to attack New Zealanders right to Free Speech, propagate support for Hate Speech Laws to prosecute New Zealanders who say things the regime wants suppressed, and to lobby for greater State control of the Internet…you must not have a pulse!
Ardern and Hannah are Mates…. Comrades. She was personally selected for the grand task at hand.
The Disinformation Project is Ardern’s ‘Ministry of Truth’ (Read George Orwell’s 1984)
It’s in the ‘Deplatforming Business’… Shutting down ‘Wrong-think’.
Any vale of impartiality of this arrangement is Ziggy paper thin.
They say they are fighting ‘disinformation’, the groovie thing is they autocratically get to determine what is truth and what is ‘hateful’ and ‘dangerous’!
Seeking to emulate The CCP and DPRK, they salivate at the idea of restricting our access to information and anti-woke opinions from overseas.
This is no whack conspiracy theory, but the expressed agenda Ardern championed under the title ‘The Christchurch Call’.
Remember Ardern infamously called free Speech ‘A weapon of War’. (Speech to the UN Sept 22)
*Note the provocative language of Ardern attacking Free Speech!*
This is the question… Do you support Free Speech or do you think the Government should choose what they will allow?
Without the right to contentious debate, how can a democracy function?
A blind man can see the problem with giving Radical partisan ideologues the power to control speech and information in a democracy!
In response to the Hannah’s TV 1 appearance one commentator on Twitter called her ‘a Dangerous Operative’… IMO this is 100% Bang on!
Thinking people in New Zealand and around the globe have noticed how in recent years the Law… and logic itself in the media seems to be skewed?
Why is it double standards have become the norm?
When we look at the background of Kate Hannah the reason for this blatant duplicity being applied across the board is revealed. (See Youtube vid below)
She is a certified Marxist and propagandist for ‘Critical Theory’. It is a doctrine of Class warfare, which pits groups in diametric opposition to each other… in a state of eternal struggle for Dominance. Oppressors vs the oppressed. Black against white, Male against female, Heterosexuals vs Queer, etc, and she interprets the outside world through that very narrow totalitarian lens.
This extremist skew makes her fundamentally the enemy of equal rights. She categorises everyone by their identities then seeks license to grant political favour to those she thinks are down trodden and puts political fetters on those she thinks have unfair advantages.
To achieve these objectives necessitates first a rigorous propaganda campaign… to soften up the people and make them more amenable to the implementation of discriminatory laws that quickly follow in it’s wake.
Creating a system of political Mass media, and Thought Police (See George Orwell’s 1984) to whom The Disinformation Project issues directives.
Ie To control the public narrative and steer society towards her imaginary Post- Christian/ Post-capitalist/ Post-Patriachal/ Post white supremist Socialist Utopia.
At no time can it be admitted these laws will affect everyone’s rights… the targets as far as the general population are told… are the fringe-dwelling minority of Far Right psychopaths… and who cares about those freaks?
Yet that is not how these laws work.
In practice she seeks to use her office to suppress the right of ordinary New Zealanders to freely express opinions that defends Whites from Black aggression, Men from Female aggression, Straights from Queer Aggression, etc or is in any way critical of these protected groups.
That is Forbidden.
These are fundamentally hateful and oppressive opinions.
And in her opinion such people should be flagged as ‘Far Right’, and put on a register of Dangerous spreaders of Disinformation.
The plan is that Critisism of protected groups is to be outlawed!
To her way of thinking Racism can only be one directional
sexism can only be one directional, etc… so queers can be as obnoxious, as rowdy, as Bigoted as they like against straight people… and that’s not hate’
In Kate’s mind that’s righteous revolution of the oppressed!
In contrast when Woman say they don’t want People with ds in their changing rooms, or ordinary New Zealanders justly complain about having Transgenderism rammed down their throats and promoted in schools like its normal… Hannah leaps up and declares *That’s Hateful!*
Because she views large sections of the population as being ‘the oppressor class’… in her mind *they have no right to defend themselves*… they cannot defend themselves… because they have ‘Oppressor’ stamped across their foreheads.
Individuality counts for nothing. That’s their immutable Identity.
They are the enemy whom she has been tasked by Ardern to knocking down, to Silence, and to subjugate.
Democracy itself must be sloped to remove any opportunity for them to gain political ascendency whereby they might regain, or perpetuate the forbidden ideas that form the dominant ethos of Society.
Using Political force to trample down the more successful demographics in society is considered Social justice!
She does not care what the majority of New Zealanders think. They should either agree with her… or be damned!
Note the date of my tweet comment above. On cue Hannah’s One New Interview dropped just a few weeks later.
She is following a set plan and working to a schedule.
Is it now apparent why blatant hypocrisy abounds?
Why common sense appears to have lost it’s currency?
Why the tail now wags the dog, and why 90% of the population must bow to the whims of men in skirts, wigs, and lipstick?
Radical Socialists like Hannah are sinking Western nations and turning our free and civil societies upside-down!
This is why New Zealanders ought to be outraged Jacinda Ardern has installed this dangerous ideologue to influence the fate of our nation’s rights to speech and access on the net!
Jacinda Ardern was a far left radical who did not give ear to the people of New Zealand.
She did not put the nation’s interests first.
She was a dictator who always pushed her own extreme political beliefs that stood at variance with the majority values of New Zealanders, and she pushed through legislation under urgency to by pass the normal safeguards that are supposed to prevent this sort of unmandated radicalism, esp the process of public consultation.
Eventually the people of New Zealand grew sick of her abuses and she was forced to resign under a cloud of well earned Public hostility… yet she left behind her a gigantic mess.
And the Disinformation Project is a large part of her despotic radical far left legacy.
WE ought to be marching in the streets calling for the abolishment of this diabolical Orwellian engine.
********
End of Part 1… Take a Break!
RIP Gordon Lightfoot.
(November 17, 1938 – May 1, 2023)
Part 2….
Kate Hannah’s very words like “Genocidal* are not only outrageous exaggerations… lies, but demonstrate she does not occupy the real world but like many Loon Academics exists in a construct of their own device.
Hannah claimed (without presenting a shred of evidence) that hate against the trans-community was swelling in a “big wave of neo-Nazi content”.
By ordinary standards this is almost certainly a dishonest fabrication, yet it must be remembered that the Woke far left consider any opinion differing from their own to be Nazi-speak.
(Not sure where I got this pick… possibly the BFD,)
The claim still carries odious connotations and raises alarm in docile minds.
It was in connection with ‘Neo=Nazis’ that she felt comfortable attributing New Zealanders disdain for Trans-activist antics as *genocidal* tendency, yet look I look around and all I see is a giant tsunami of Rainbows everywhere!
How can it be that New Zealand cities have literally painted their streets, all for the sake of a tiny number of their communities yet despite all this Hannah still claims the Trans-communities are under record oppression!
Like the so-called plight of Maori… despite all the special treatment the victimhood of Transgenderism has now become institutionalised.
Facts no longer matter.
Hannah declares on National TV New Zealanders are not Woke enough! They are imbibing and spreading foreign Neo-nazi Genocidal hate!
Something must be done!
More Rainbows!
She has to repair to such language for it’s shock value if she is to have any success in conning the Media and NZ politicians into supporting her anti-free speech ambitions.
The media and parliament are already infested with fools who endorse this same radical leftist ideology… It only the general voting population who remain largely traditional conservative thinkers… who are the real targets for her poisonous subversive ideas.
While Free speech is a right of Citizens, however Hannah is a public servant [sic] who should not be allowed to divide and discriminate against sections of the community exercising their legitimate rights! She is functioning like a Party Political Activist… A lobbyist… not a public servant. This is because there is no legitimacy in her office.
The Disinformation Project is a travesty! Her position is an Orwellian farce!
^ above clip quotes Kate Hannah One News. She even throws in some Anti-Russian infiltration conspiracy for good measure! We must protect the sheeple!
It’s actually even worse than this… she is in fact stoking the fires of victimism and horror that now pervades the Trans-community!
I say that she herself and her ilk are far more to blame for fears within that community and any actual Right wing Nazi activity!
She does not care for them!
These people who already suffer mental problems/ high suicide rates, etc are just pawns in her game.
Imbibing the gross exaggerations of academics [sic] like her… rantings about Nazis and *Genocide! Hate!* serves to fuel the paranoia that is already rife and apparent within the transgender community and also promotes the shocking behavior and violence of Trans-actiuvists as witnessed recently at the Posie Parker Rally.
Iconic Photo of Posie Parker aka Kellie Jay Keen at her ‘Let woman speak’ Rally Albert park Auckland 25-3-23. Read about it here
Kate Hannah is oblivious to the reality that is was the Transactivists who *wished genocide* upon Posie Parker, Terfs, Christians, etc!
And the chief instigator of the violence was then awarded ‘Young New Zealander of the Year’!
Via her inflammatory retoric Hannah is truly a political agitator of the first order.
She lives in a bubble of her own device.
That such extremist ideology and behavior as occurred at Albert Park the has been countenanced by the New Zealand media and parliament is the legitimate reason why ordinarily New Zealanders have been expressing their disgust on line.
They are mild and tolerant people yet have reached their limits.
Quite frankly they have had a guts full of the BS!
It is a hot topic… nothing to do with hate… everything to do with Free speech and the democratic process.
New Zealanders are vocally expressing their rejection of the Transgender agender, and Hannah’s Critical theory.
And they have every right to do so!
A huge part of the drive to control all information is the desire to cut us off from information and debate going on in other parts of the world.
This is part of her brief for State control of our internet access.
To control both what information can come into New Zealand, and what goes out.
This is not about suppressing mis-information, or Dis-information, It’s not even about preventing ‘hate’… It’s OK to openly hate whites, Men, Christians, etc.
*It’s all about Control*
Free Speech is the enemy of the Radical Woke Left Globalist Agenda.
They can’t overthrow prosperous Western societies in a free and open Democratic independent nations because the informed and enlightened populations who have stopped following the controlled mainstream media narratives, and have open lines of communication will not voluntarily surrender their rights and standards of living to the dictates of Globalist plutocrats.
These nations must be brought to their knees via Diabolical Machiavellian Stratagems.
Critics, Whistleblower, and Dissidents must be muzzled.
Will we allow Kate Hannah to rob us of Free speech and internet freedom?
I hope not!
Make no mistake… Everything is in the line!
This is a battle upon which our very Freedom and democracy hangs… and the Evil powers that be are determined to subjugate us!
********
So I have spoken about Identity politics and how Critical Theory sets each demographic at war one with another’
The Opposing Enlightenment argument refutes the Marxist interpretation of reality. It is the traditional view held by most of New Zealanders and what made New Zealand such a wonderful place to live… for all.
A free society treats people *as equal individuals*… their colour, sex, wealth status, etc are considered irrelevant.
We are all equal under God.
And there are all sorts of legitimate reasons why disparities exist in life that have nothing to do with systemic oppression of minorities.
Freedom advocates say we can all coexist under freedom and equality. Though we may have differences of opinion, as long as we respect the rights of everyone, we can each do our own thing… in freedom.
And form voluntary associations with others who share our values and beliefs… and ignore those that don’t!
This is how we have had Churches just down the road from Mosques.
This is how we have had bookshops where you can by Richard Dawkins Books against Religion on one shelf, and books about the Great Christian saints on the next!
In New Zealand you have the right to disagree with other people… you even have the right to express *you hate* a certain perspective… as long as you remain peaceful.
Free Speech is not violence. Some people might say things that are mean and hurtful, yet Kiwi kids have traditionally been raised to rise above any such nasty vocal jabs with the saying… “Sticks and stones may break my bones, yet words will never hurt me…”
This Tolerance… even of those who openly despise what you hold dear is the Keystone of a Free and tolerant society.
Freedom is only important because people don’t agree about anything!
You do you!
I’ll do my own thing too.
And it is Freedom that has brought justice and prosperity to Western Nations.
We must never forget or surrender these precious ideals that raised our nations far above all Socialist slave pens that ever arose in the 20th century.
We must protect the truth and Free speech from Ideological psychopaths like Jacinda Ardern, and Kate Hannah.
Transgender people have the same rights as everyone else… and no more.
They have the right to pretend they are of the opposite sex.
I have the right to disagree.
Trans-woman are not real woman.
Trans-men are not real men.
Sex changes for Children is vile child abuse and should be criminalized.
Treaty Separatism and the idea of ‘Co Governance’ are blatant racism and the separatist raced Based seats in parliament must be abolished.
New Zealand’s National Sovereignty and democracy must be defended from Globalist Usurpations and dictates.
Legislation ought to be enacted to protect Cash as a means of transactions and trade.
Global Warming is a Massive fraud designed to take control of the worlds recourses, abolish private property rights, etc.
This is just a small part of the list of opinions Kate Hannah wants to make illegal to utter.
So we can start by abolishing her and her Ardernian office.
King Charles III. Coronated Last night (NZ Time) 6-5-23
As his coronation approached the question of remaining in the Commonwealth inevitably bubbled to the surface. The screen shot above shows that Polls have been running in Canada to this very question.
It has always been the ambition of Cold War Communism to overthrow ‘British imperialism’ and set up their own quazi-‘Imperialism’ of Global Socialism, and they have set about achieving these objectives via ‘a long march’ infiltrating all tiers of Social institutions esp Education, and also by the strategy of ‘Divide and Conquer’… agitation for rebellion amongst ‘Indigenous populations’…. creating Social unrest, and Racial strife all designed to Weaken and Destroy British based democracies like New Zealand.
It has always been a Marxist wet dream to see the Commonwealth fragment.
This being so, whenever the question of New Zealand leaving the Commonwealth has come up, it has always been a thorny issue for me as a Libertarian.
I do believe it is the natural order of progression for a Nation to become fully independent… a Republic, yet the question must be asked… What sort of Republic would be established?
If the answer is to be an Apartheid Socialist Republic (which is what the Leftist radicals want) then as far as I’ve been concerned New Zealand fares much better to remain under the Civilised wing of Great Britain, and her Rule of Law, and The system of Equal Rights! And also maintaining our Commonwealth fraternity of shared enlightenment values.
This is what Queen Elizabeth represented. She was an anchor that slowed down the disintegration of values and as such there was great merit in remaining in her Commonwealth.
She lived long, and people were free under her rule, to the degree that she did not impose her personal beliefs via the Law as was normal in previous ages. She governed as an exemplar of Character and personal virtue.
She has gone now, and King Charles is about to be Coronated with Diadem, holding the Orb, and Scepter… mystical relics that imbues Sovereignty and Awe!
Or at least that is how it’s all supposed to work!
Charles has had plenty of time to contemplate his succession, and he more than anyone appreciates the challenge of being/ becoming a rightful ‘King’ in the hearts and minds of myriads of people… The majority of whom are Moderns… educated, democratic… steeped in enlightenment values, and who put little weight on the mystical powers of the Baubles of office.
The Divine right of Kings’ is an obsolete doctrine.
Many Britain’s simply see the Monarchy as a Tourist attraction.
Then you have the Noisy minority of Woke Marxist extremists in every corner of the Commonwealth who want to abolish the monarchy and set up a Communist New World Order!
These people are fundamentally opposed to everything British. They despise The values of the Commonwealth, They are a dangerous and destructive element… who in their right mind would listen to these lunatics?
At birth Princess Elisabeth was not directly in line for the Throne, yet she was fated to be Queen. She was by the time of her Coronation popular with the people, particularly for her conduct during WW2 when she and her parents shared the lot of Londoners during the Bliz. Upon turning 18 voluntered to aid the War effort becoming a Mechanic in the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), the women’s branch of the British Army.

As already mentioned, with his mothers enduring reign, Charles has had plenty of time to seriously contemplate how he is going to perpetuate popular support for the Monarchy into the New era yet I think he has made a monumental blunder in thinking the future will be Woke.
He has positioned himself not only as a member of the Cult of Climate Alarmism, he has also endorsed Claus schwab’s ‘Great Reset’.
Is this because *His masters in the Illuminati* have commanded him to steer the British empire in this direction?
Prince Charles and Evelyn de Rothschild.
It is a dangerous path to take!
Not only is it a betrayal of the independence of the British Isles, In taking this course he is selling out the chief reason why it was a reasonable idea for Nations like New Zealand to remian in the Commonwealth!
If The King has gone Woke… then we are better of cutting ties and setting up our own Republic that retains our Sovereignty separate from Schwabs Globalist NWO.
This means we must defend Free Speech at all costs so that we can rally our people to fighting the Communist Globalists embedded in our institutions and establish a truely Free Constitutional republic.
I believe Charles has made a huge blunder.
Western civilisation hangs in the balance, yet I believe the true weight still is in favour of Commonsense, National sovereignty, and Christian/enlightenment values.
We all know what a monumental marketing blunder it was for Budweiser Beer to go woke! Totally alienating their Core Customer base. The strategy was to ‘modernize’ their brand to make it more appealing to the next generation…. It was an Epic failure!
Charles is the Bud-light of Kings, basing his future upon bad marketing advice. If the Monarchy no longer stands for the Classical British Ideals that underpinned the Free West then it no longer serves it’s purpose as a bulwark against barbarous encroachments.
Wrong Bet Charlie!
Go Woke… Go Broke!
He is primed to sell out the British Isles and Commonwealth to Claus Schwarbs Great Reset, and the WEF New World Order.
The Coronation itself will be a spectacle!
Not since Edmund Hillary conquered Everest has the Empire witnessed such Pomp!
So under King Charles will the monarchy become like Tits on a Bull?
Serving no useful purpose whatsoever?
Worse still will be be a bumbling fool and lead the Empire into Socialist Global slavery?
It sure looks that way.
The Big problem New Zealand has is that one of Comrade Jacinda Ardern’s most treasonous actions was to alienate New Zealand from the ANZUS alliance, preferring to snuggle up the the Chinese Dragon.
In fact the previous National Party Government…. Blinded by truck loads of Yuan had already moved us in this same direction… putting us more and more into economic dependence with this Demonic Power.
This is frightening stuff!
Despite my fears about Charles, with all the subversive voices echoing around the globe demanding apologies for colonization, and polls that claim nations don’t want Charles as their monarch, I do believe maintaining the Commonwealth is in New Zealand’s best interests as we are militarily weak, thus our only protection from being swallowed up by the likes of China is in having close mutual bonds with more powerful allies of which Great Britain and fellow Commonwealth countries like Australia are vital.
This is much to be preferred than becoming a Vassal of The Chinese Communist Party.
This meme (above) popped up on my Twitter feed today.
I was not sure if the person who posted it was seriously asking this question, or was just trolling those of us who believe in Special creation and reject Evolution.
It matters not, for irrespective of the motive for making this post I took the opportunity to throw in my personal opinion about Evolution as being pseudo-science…
This quickly solicited a response that inferred the Evolution hypothesis could be falsified…
I was able to rebut this assertion with little fuss on my part.
Did my accurate rebuttal phase my antagonist in any way? No.
He simply repeated his original claim. So I expanded my original rebuttal.
Unflinching, he continued to spiel unsubstantiated evolutionary jargon as if it was science…adding he thought Darwin’s ignorance of genetics to be ‘irrelevant’!
It’s far from ‘irrelevant’ for it was only in the vacuum of ignorance about genetics that Darwin’s bunk ideas were able to take hold of the imagination.
He then tried to justify evolution by suggesting that getting new genes was not necessary for evolution (below)!!
I immediately pointed out the error of his contention, and that in fact this was more evidence against evolution…
Mutations do not result in new Genes. There has never been a new creature discovered via Mutation. Even Darwin recognised Mutation as having massive negative impacts on the fitness of Species. The math is so far against the claim that mutations are an evolutionary force as to render the postulate utterly delusional.
Evolutionists clutch at such straws notwithstanding.
Like a stuck record… and he even admitted such (saying for the third time) he repeated what he had already repeated… but also threw in some Ad Hominem attacks on my personal intelligence and learning! That’s what these people do!
This is a signature characteristic of an indoctrinated mind. When confronted with cogent arguments that are completely at variance with what they themselves have been led to believe. Instead of taking time to cognate the plausibility of what they have been proffered, instead they start to assume this line of reasoning can only come from ignorance of what they have assume to be unquestionable truths.!
At this point the poor fellow started to implode… denying his original proposition!
Realising nothing I marshalled would penetrate the stone walls of his fortified mind I felt best to draw this thread to a close… yet not without firing the obligatory parting volley!
Yet not to be bested he fired his own… not realising he again shot himself in the foot by re-asserting the notion that *Evolution would be falsifiable* *if only there were no variations*! This is a falacy of circular reasoning…
“Evolution could be falsified if we found no variations, yet because we find variations Evolution cant be falsified!”
When he said “For the third time: evolution is the change in heritable characteristics in populations of organisms…” The sneak snuck in quite a significant modification to his original contention.
At least he was trying another more nuanced approach. Yet alas thereby he sinks his own ship…
Most of you will be familiar with how Social media debates play out. They do not always flow in a linear fashion from point A to Z as it is possible to read, and re-read the debate and randomly throw in commentary as and when we feel moved to do so. This means the debate can ‘jump about’.
In this Blog article I have done my best to present the argument fairly, yet as a matter of course I have juxtaposed the screen shots in a way that best suits my argument. not in real linear time. I do not mean to disadvantage my antagonist by not declaring this home advantage I have…
Ultimately if this guy wanted to be both honest and maintain his integrity, After I had shown him how variations are explicable without any evolution, he simply ought to have retracted his original claim that Evolution could be falsified via the means of *no variation*. That is patently false. Not only that yet he set up a standard that could not be falsified… as variation is a fact.
If Evolutionists want to defend their Mythical tale as an actual scientific theory they will have to find a better argument for it’s falsifiability.
So my Premise stands… Evolution is Pseudoscience because it is unfalsifiable.
I’d be happy to accept any challenges to this Granite solid proposition.

Update:
I informed ‘Fortune’ that I had turned our debate into a Blog article and that if he did not think I represented him faily that he should write a retort in the comments (below) and that I would let it stand as his right of reply. this was his response…
Ask yourself why is it necessary to cast slurs on a person’s character simply because they rigorously oppose something you hold to be true?
Is it not possible to disagree yet remain civil?
This is a requisite IMO for a free and enlightened society.
Blogging is fun! It is one means by which a Mans values can be pursued, yet for a working man It is often done at the expense of Sleep.
In a rare occurrence I was browsing the Admin back stage of ‘Eternal Vigilance’ and was surprised to find there are 400+ unpublished Blog articles in various stages of completeness!
Most of them are mine though some aren’t. I am not the Founder or only writer here. I’m a Usurper. Anyway I’m going to look at these 400 odd articles and post as many of my own drafts as I can irrespective of their relevance today to current events’
some will have languished in limbo for up to a decade!
I will put this opening paragraph at the top of each rescued post and will also include a ref date to when the idea to write them was born (historical last edits).
I will do a bit of editing and tidying up and ‘finish’ anything that abruptly stops mid-stream yet my intention is to spend as little effort on them as possible.
They probably will not be as substantial as my original aims which explains why many were not published. I had more to say. (My cardinal vice!)
Will they withstand the weather of Time?
Anyway this one is the first recovered post.
This one tells me it was… Last Edited by Tim on August 2013 at 708pm.
How exciting!
P.S… doing a quick Web search I found another reference here.
When the Burdick human print (human and dinosaur prints found together) hit the news atheists made all kinds of false claims and accusations about it. Claiming that creationists carved it, souvenir shops make and sell them etc..
But the truth is, it’s part of Texas history. Which by the way authenticates it. You can read about it on the page below.
Atheists have fought this so hard in the past it will make them mad that this evidence has resurfaced with new support. This print, which Carl Baugh pushed very hard to get it noticed was one of the reason Baugh pulled himself from the limelight. The atheists attacks on him, for this and other human prints found next to dinosaurs prints were relentless. Even to the point that it caused problems in his family as the atheists pulled out all the stops to involve them. Claiming that certain family members were interviewed and said Baugh was a fraud and was lying, even though a video of this was never produced.
The attacks got so bad that some creation ministries pulled their support of him because it was starting to effect their bottom line because many creationists were started to believe the lies atheists were telling. And some even did pages based on what the atheists said which had no merit. Baugh saw he was getting attacked by all sides and step out of it and I don’t blame him.
But this is a perfect example of how far atheists will go to destroy evidence that does not support their theory.
One of the most vilified positions of Christianity is the *Bible Believer* position of which…. as a King James Bible Man…I am a member.
Another position which many assume to be a part of the essential ‘bible believers’ doctrines is YEC… Young Earth Creationism… of which I am not a member…. and yet I witness the Hatred the young Earth Creationists endure for their faith.
With the approaching coronation of King Charles, the question of remaining in the Commonwealth inevitably bubbles to the surface. The screen shot above shows that Polls have been running in Canada to this very question.
It has always been the ambition of Cold War Communism to overthrow ‘British imperialism’ and set up their own quazi-‘Imperialism’ of Global Socialism, and they have set about achieving these objectives via ‘a long march’ infiltrating all tiers of Social institutions esp Education, and also by the strategy of ‘Divide and Conquer’… agitation for rebellion amongst ‘Indigenous populations’…. creating Social unrest, and Racial strife all designed to Weaken and Destroy British based democracies like New Zealand.
It has always been a Marxist wet dream to see the Commonwealth fragment.
This being so, whenever the question of New Zealand leaving the Commonwealth has come up, it has always been a thorny issue for me as a Libertarian.
I do believe it is the natural order of progression for a Nation to become fully independent… a Republic, yet the question must be asked… What sort of Republic would be established?
If the answer is to be an Apartheid Socialist Republic (which is what the Leftist radicals want) then as far as I’ve been concerned New Zealand fares much better to remain under the Civilised wing of Great Britain, and her Rule of Law, and The system of Equal Rights! And also maintaining our Commonwealth fraternity of shared enlightenment values.
This is what Queen Elizabeth represented. She was an anchor that slowed down the disintegration of values and as such there was great merit in remaining in her Commonwealth.
She lived long, and people were free under her rule, to the degree that she did not impose her personal beliefs via the Law as was normal in previous ages. She governed as an exemplar of Character and personal virtue.
She has gone now, and King Charles is about to be Coronated with Diadem, holding the Orb, and Scepter… mystical relics that imbues Sovereignty and Awe!
Or at least that is how it’s all supposed to work!
Charles has had plenty of time to contemplate his succession, and he more than anyone appreciates the challenge of being/ becoming a rightful ‘King’ in the hearts and minds of myriads of people… The majority of whom are Moderns… educated, democratic… steeped in enlightenment values, and who put little weight on the mystical powers of the Baubles of office.

Is there any meaning or purpose to human existence?
I’m bad to the bone.
I know this. Some might say I am unfit to write this blog article about Easter. They may be correct.
Just recently I was proscribed medication to lower my blood pressure. It’s high.
It’s partly to do with my age, partly my genes, but mostly to do with my bad habits… too much craft beer… too little sleep, etc.
Though I am a happy person, I am highly strung, and don’t ever relax… even when I’m chilling… I have inner tension at all times.
I find myself holding my breath.
Though I am ready to meet my Maker, I don’t want to die. I have a young son I wish to finish raising, and I believe I have more to contribute to society and in sowing, watering the soil for the Gospel.
My chief inner contradiction is that I’m an optimist in outlook, yet being proscribed heart meds has done nothing to alleviate my life-long fatalism.
By fatalism I esp mean my ever-present sense of approaching demise.
Optimism and Fatalism in one bag means I’m happy, yet always have a sense of urgency that I must take care of business before I check out.
I may live 20 more years, or I may not last out the day.
I have faith that if Today is the day… then praise the Lord… it’s my day! Thanks for a wonderful life. Thanks for the grace that has given me these decades, these friends, this family.
This is not a sympathy seeking ‘poor me’ article. I’m not a victim. I own my own circumstances.
I needed to say these things for context of the real message I wish to make for my Easter 2023 Blog article.
In my family, and in my associations, I’m the Black Sheep of my generation. I accept this because my thoughts are often the polar opposite of my peers. I am grateful most of them have grown to appreciate that’s just how I roll, and chuckle whenever I open my mouth. I have little doubt most question my IQ and believe I am ill informed.
Yet… and here is the punchline… to maintain even this strained relationship, requires I keep expression of certain forbidden opinions to a minimum.
For context most of my Family are Socialists politically, and Atheists spiritually. Many of my friends and colleagues are A-Political/ A-religious… so they are not open to free discourse on these subjects. They tolerate me as long as I don’t get ‘Preachy’.
I fully understand that nobody should harass others on subjects they prefer to avoid… yet still The years pass by quickly and is it not sad to think you have wonderful friends and family yet never have been able to fully discuss such essential aspects of life?
It is especially hard when you have dedicated your life in the pursuit of truth… and have discovered mind-blowing facts and arguments that you must keep to yourself for fear of being scorned and outcast by hard hearted loved ones who have no intention of challenging their own entrenched beliefs.
Remember my opening paragraph how I have a sense of urgency… and a repetitive source of despair in my life is watching my loved ones… friends, associates, and Family either sailing away never to be seen again… or pass away without having communicated with them truths I believe are essential to their Eternal well being. My own time is limited too. When I pass away my opportunity to persuade my people to Trust in the Cross of Christ, and in the miracle of his resurrection will be finished.
Yet I still have a bag of wind left in me, and I will take the opportunity that Easter long weekend provides to openly speak today.
I’m a Libertarian Christian, which means I believe in self responsibility and religious liberty.
This means I know there are limits to my duty, and ability to communicate truths to others.
The Bible says not to cast our pearls before swine… where they will not be received with gladness, but instead simply be trodden underfoot.(don’t take offence… it’s only a metaphor)
The Bible talks about the heart condition of lost souls.
Some have been softened… some are good fertile soil in which the seed of the Gospel can take root and flourish. Others cannot receive the seed.
This is my Easter message… An appeal to anyone reading this article who is honest enough to admit the origin and meaning of life has alluded them so far… to dare to remove the Blinders that prevent their minds from being able to take Christianity seriously. Ideological blinders that render them incapable actually contemplating the possibility, that Christ really was the Son of The Almighty… God Incarnate…. Sinless… and that he willingly went to the cross to suffer a criminals death… a redemptive sacrifice…. paying for the sins of humanity.. and rising from the dead on the third day day as proof of his victory over both sin and death… and that whosoever chooses to believe that gospel… shall be freely forgiven of all sin, and shall enter God’s presence in perfect newness of eternal life.
It’s a fantastic mind-blowing thing to even contemplate!
How can *that* possibly be true?
Is not that a demonstration of humanities wishful thinking and capacity for believing absurdities?
Easter cant be relevant in 2023…. can it?????
I once thought that way.
I have written several accounts of my own conversion from Militant Atheism to Christianity (links below) and it remains vivid in my mind the process… indeed the moment the scales fell from my eyes.
I won’t repeat what I have said elsewhere except to say the miracle of my own conversion depended first of all upon unusual circumstances that caused me to unwittingly lower my cognitive shield and actually give Christian apologists a fair hearing.
Holy Smoke!
For the life of me I never dreamed that I would be persuaded to believe the bible!
My conversion took many months of discussion, argument, presentation of historic and scientific facts… the miracle being that I even gave them 5 minutes of my time to discuss matters I strongly considered to be beneath contempt, ridiculous, false.
My testimony today is to tell my reader that there is overwhelming evidence and logic to Believe the Gospel is true… in spite of how incredible it appears to the atheist mind that is trapped in the false materialist paradigm.
My Easter appeal to the gospel is for any honest atheists, or people of other faiths, Is to ‘seek with an open heart… and ye shall find’… yet should you harden your own heart and remain of closed mind… there is nothing I can do. If my appeal falls on deaf ears, it is not me you have rejected… but Jesus Christ and the Love, Grace, and mercy of the Almighty.
One truth that weighs heaviest in my own soul is the knowledge of my own wickedness… my own unworthiness.
When I was an atheist I had absolutely no sense of my own spiritual corruption. I thought reality was ultimately A-moral… a nihilistic reality in which Human individuals were valueless and meaningless in a cold and indifferent Universe.
You can’t understand the importance of the cross unless you first have a realisation of your own fallen Moral condition.
Our Evil deeds really are evil, and God is not Mocked… Divine Justice is a real thing. And we will all have an appointment with the Great Judge, and will give account as to our acceptance or rejection of Christ’s work of Atonement on the Cross.
Some undoubtedly will say I’m employing fear-tactics to cajole feeble minds into religious subjection.
I know that is a thing, yet If what I am saying is Objectively true… it matters not whether or not the facts are pleasing to our personal inclinations… The truth is the truth irrespective.
God sets the terms and conditions for Salvation, not us.
It is the nature of fallen humanity to rebel against the Sovereignty of the Almighty. That is a piece of Deep irrefutable psychology. Know thyself! Understand how your deep innate nature pre-conditions your thoughts.
We are all children of Fallen Adam and eve.
These are Facts of Reality.
Facts of History.
Facts of Science.
Facts of knowledge founded upon personal experience.
The explanatory power of the Bible has no equal.
The Materialist cosmology/faith is utterly inadequate and filled with absurdities.
It cannot be honestly entertained by informed thinkers in the light of Modern science.
My advise is you go spend some time on Youtube listening to high caliber Christian apologetics, such as William Lane Craig, and Gary Habermas debating the likes of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, etc.
The Truth is there ready and waiting for you to descover… and have your mind blown!
Christ is worthy of worship.
I’m not worthy to worship him.
My only hope is that his grace is sufficient for a wretch like me.
The Easter Story specks of the Love of God towards us sinners.
Will it still be legal to celebrate Easter in 10 years time?
The light is fading.
Satan Laughing spreads his wings.
To my last breath I will declare Jesus is Risen!
Amazing Grace!
How sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found.
Was blind but now I see.
