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.
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.
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.
Read more here.
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.
Update: 7-5-23
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.
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.
Damien Grant: “Our country is better because there are those advocating for, and against, things that they passionately believe in or are opposed to.”
Check out Damien Grant’s latest opinion piece. Link below. But first a few Wikiriwhi musings.
IMO Damien is probably New Zealand best freedom orientated political commentator who gets footage in the mainstream media, even though he often says things that get up my nose.
He is definitely an advocate of less government, yet frames his articles in such a way that his personal proclivity is not punching Fascists and Commies in the face… and that is why he gets published in the mainstream when few other Liberty minded people do.
Via his style he is able to squeeze in some very important Libertarian takes on thorny issues that otherwise never reach the public discourse, because he splices them seamlessly within the cloth that otherwise might appear to be congratulating the successes of the advocates of Totalitarianism (and it is an objective fact that Woke Far left activism is kicking arse and making us freedom advocates look like Chumps!).
Today’s article (link below) is a perfect example of this strategy.
It may be painful to read… but it’s 100% true… or at least 95% true.
Though in no way can it be said that Damien is an Anti-vaxxer, I don’t think it is a coincidence he penned this article now… after the Big Propaganda piece ‘Boiling Point’ much lauded by those who hate the Anti-covid lockdown protesters just dropped the other day.
IMO this is Damien’s stealthy impartial way of defending that historic and righteous protest… in principle.
The topic is participating in our nations democracy. Grant makes no mention as to why our particular brand of Democracy makes being ceaselessly active far more critical than it otherwise would be if we had an enlightened ever vigilant Liberty loving population who prided themselves on self-reliance, and an iron clad constitution that kept meddlesome power mad totalitarians in fetters.
Oh what such a blessed state of affairs that would be!
New Zealand was once a strong self-reliant population… the envy of the world… yet we have lost this and become a nation of woke sheeple begging for safe spaces and hand outs.
We should sit in sackcloth and ashes.
We have become consumed with envy. Men have become effeminate from decades of ease.
Our system of government… the unconstrained arbitrary powers of our parliament means none of our rights, liberties, or property are secure. We are being bleed dry via taxes. We are treated like rats in social experiments. Our Lives count for zero. We are muzzled. Our kids are brainwashed in State schools. And the ether is thick with mainstream NWO agenda driven propaganda so that the fools now beg for their own enslavement.
Any hysteria, or trend can and does move parliament to act rashly and swing a club.
When seeking to prevent any constitutional restraints being put on parliament Margert Wilson once called the status quo ‘Our wonderfully fluid system’… yeah right!
Wonderful for meddlesome radical Ideologues!
Things are not looking good.
Should we throw away our rifles and run for the coast?
That may look like a tempting proposition to some.
Not this Maori! “The Arawa have 8 Breaths!”.
Better to die facing the enemy than with a spear in the back.
Things being as they are we Liberty minded, pro equality advocates need to lift our game… and be tireless and resolved in working for our treasured values and ideals.
Freedom and justice depend on it.
We cannot falter.
We cannot retire. esp given our values and Ideals are in peril.
We must do what we can to our final breath…
And we must maintain our dignity and spirit… conducting ourselves honorably… even when our adversaries fight dirty… such as using Cancel culture, deplatforming, etc.
Otherwise what will our legacy be?
The generation that quit, and let freedom slip away.
We have a mountain to conquer.
Lets get to it!

Damien Grant says….
“…If you, like me, have a strong set of opinions on how our country should be run, there are ways to achieve this without waiting for the cumbersome, protracted and often ineffective electoral system. This is even more so given the atrophying membership of political parties.
The environmental movement provides an excellent demonstration of how ideas combined with determined advocacy has impacted both government policy, as well as the personal choices of individuals.
By contrast, those with a conservative and free-market agenda have not been as effective. The high-watermark for free-markets was the late 1980s and early 1990s….”

“Massad F. Ayoob (born July 20, 1948) is an American firearms and self-defense instructor. He has taught police techniques and civilian self-defense to both law enforcement officers and private citizens since 1974. He was the director of the Lethal Force Institute in Concord, New Hampshire, from 1981 to 2009, and now operates his own company.[1] Ayoob has appeared as an expert witness in several trials. He served as a part-time police officer in New Hampshire since 1972 and retired in 2017 with the rank of Captain from the Grantham, New Hampshire, police department.[2] On September 30th 2020, Ayoob was named president[3] of the Second Amendment Foundation. His nickname is “the bad ass of self-defense.”
Ayoob has authored several books and more than 1,000 articles on firearms, combat techniques, self-defense, and legal issues, and has served in an editorial capacity for Guns Magazine, American Handgunner, Gun Week, Guns & Ammo and Combat Handguns. Since 1995, he has written self-defense and firearms related articles for Backwoods Home Magazine. He also has a featured segment on the television show Personal Defense TV, which is broadcast on the Sportsman Channel in the US.
Ayoob has appeared in the courtroom as a testifying police officer, expert witness, and police prosecutor. Ayoob is believed to be the only non-attorney to serve as Vice Chairman of the Forensic Evidence Committee of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), a position he formerly held.His course for attorneys, titled “The Management of the Lethal Force/Deadly Weapons Case”, was, according to Jeffrey Weiner: “the best course for everything you need to know but are never taught in law school.”
I have only just become aware of the work of Massad Ayoob…. a third generation American of Syrian ancestry… Expert and instructor on firearms, defender of the Second Amendment.
This guy speaks with an air of authority, and a depth of wisdom on matters of gun safety and Law that in my limited opinion has few peers.
Having watched several conversational You Tube videos I was very impressed… for example his videos discussing ‘Mob violence’ and The Kyle Rittenhouse trial (Below).
It must be remembered that Ayoob speaks from ‘the US Legal perspective’ which varies from State to State and from my home country New Zealand’s Legal system.
Given the current Civil Unrest that has been purposefully orchestrated in US cities by the George Soros/ Democrat funded Criminal organisations posing as ‘Protest movements’ for the sake of destabilizing their society (and especially to blacken Trumps otherwise spectacular Presidency) … the destruction, violence, murder, and chaos the ensued… and what transpired with regards to Kyle Rittenhouse in the midst of all this obviously stimulated Ayoob’s commentary on these related subjects, and what a wealth of insight and good advice he proffers!
Not only on the legalities that saw Rittenhouse being acquitted of any wrongdoing, but also on the nuances of being in a situation where there is Mob violence occurring… how best to handle your self defense in that situation.
Avoiding the cesspool… He made no personal commentary on the politics of these events.
Watching Ayoob Videos we can see he certainly is no ‘Whack Anti-Police Gun Lunatic’ … much of his advice seeks to de-escalate any tensions when interactions occur between Gun owners and Police (for example when you get a knock at the door at 3am in the morning… or when you have a firearm and are pulled over).
He promotes respect and understanding… and speaks from first hand experience seeking peaceful outcomes.
That is about all I have to say about my impressions of this self defense firearms expert.
I will watch more of his instructional videos and commentary.
I made this Blog not only to inform others about this man’s important work, but also to serve as a ‘Who’s who reference for important Libertarians and Conservatives here at Eternal Vigilance Blog.

Christian Libertarian.
Postscript: Guns, Civil Unrest, and the Globalist Agenda.
The following ruminations I thought best to add as a postscript given they are my thoughts that should not be inferred to have anything to do with Massad Ayoob’s personal beliefs about the state of the world… of which I have no idea.
New Zealand needs our own ‘Second Amendment’.
This became esp obvious with regards to the Christchurch Terror attack and the Governments Jackbooted response.
Ardern exploited the attack as an opportunity to push her anti-gun population disarmament agenda.
Self Defense and Gun Laws are matters of great importance to the Libertarian ideology of a Free society… which are at complete variance from the Socialist Totalitarian Police State in which Tyranny reigns unchecked upon a defenseless and subjugated slave and brainwashed population who believe their Prison walls are keeping them safe.
New Zealanders do ‘technically’ have the legal right to self defense yet it is very nuanced and we don’t have the legal right as citizens to own pistols for self-defence.
As a Libertarian I advocate for Law reform to recognise our just right to do so yet we have a Government, and Police force, and social conditioned Sheepish population that are antagonistic to this legitimate right being recognised in Law… so I have no delusions about the Nil prospects of this law reform happening any time soon.
Keep this in mind when we contemplate how defenseless this policy left the victims of Brenton Tarrant in his Barbaric Massacres at the Christchurch Mosques in 2018.
I made this point as I prepared to deliver an oral submission to the Government inquiry into how this atrocity occurred and what could be done to prevent such a thing happening again… yet Bizarrely… having initially received the invitation to speak… They failed to inform me of a place and time to appear… so my argument that was founded upon Bearing arms for self defense was not herd in the public hearing.
The Ardern Reigime and Police had always sought to confiscate Guns from Law abiding New Zealanders and reduce their legal rights… and to pseudo-justify this approach… the last thing they wanted is to face open reasoned criticism against their oppressive agenda.
I had already made a written submission that was ‘supposedly considered’ and put into the public record.
All I could do is put my undelivered oral submission onto ‘Eternal Vigilance Blog’ and share it on social media.
IMO it is conspiracy fact… an open secret spoken out loud and at the same time denied… that the Globalist Cabal of Schwab/ Soros Socialist minions are seeking to overthrow Western democracies and install their New World Order and we can see a whole raft of suicidal policies being enacted by these traitors against the best interests of their own peoples.
The madness of their policies is starting to cause massive pains and social backlash… The Truckers protest in Cannada, The Farmers rebellion in the Netherlands, and the *Real insurrection* in Shri Lanka. Even Brexit can be seen in this light.
The Globalists openly admit their ‘Great Reset’ will cause big pain to populations around the Globe and in anticipation of this they have been busy Politicising and Militarising Police forces and brainwashing them into suppressing the legitimate Democratic Rights of their people to Publicly speak, to rally for protests, etc and I believe to consider anti-Globalist sentiments as being ‘a high risk and dangerous source of Domestic terrorism’… setting up the rationale for arresting and suppressing dissent… kinda like ‘Enemies of the State’ getting rounded up in North Korea… China… only this is being promoted now in the once Freer West.
The Sun is setting fast upon the West…. to the degree that in the space of a few years there has become a Massive push against Free speech, and the deplatforming of anyone and everyone who dares critisise the Far left Globalist agenda… or to openly discuss the activities of George Soros Just to hold such opinions as I have expressed above is almost illegal.
You get put on a ‘Watch list’ for expressing such things… The government now has powerful Tech that can ‘insure’ ‘misinformation’ does not reach the masses via the internet.
In New Zealand the media is bought and paid for by the Ardern Regime and she tells the sheeple her government must be their ‘single source of truth’
All this is designed to keep as many sheeple wallowing in indifference while these traitors sell out our country right in front of them… and most of all they seek to spook the useful idiots into thinking the disarmament of the population is for their own safety rather than what it really is… as it has always historically been… a precursor to the establishment of Brutal tyrannies… and the enslavement of whole populations… this is the chief reason why the US Democrats are hell bent to abolish the Second amendment…to render Americans incapable of standing up to their oppressive regime… remember that was the fundamental reason why the Founding Fathers wrote the 2nd Amendment to Keep Americans Free from tyranny by their own government… and it was penned into the founding document of the United States… The Declaration of Independence… the peoples right to overthrow oppressive government.
The Second Amendment stands firmly in the way of The Globalist New World Order because it ensures the People have some means of self defense against being subjugated.
I personally believe the greatest power we the people have is Passive resistance and peaceful civil disobedience (No rioting… No Violence of any sort)… and that is what I advocate for… while we are able to do so.

I will be doing my part in supporting Carl Bromley’s campaign for Christchurch Mayor.
It is unfortunate that his electorate is so distant from where I live that severely limits what assistance I can be.
The one thing I can do is share his press releases etc here on Eternal Vigilance blog, and on Gab and Mewe Social media sites… and encourage others to do the same.
I will encourage any of my readers living in the Christchurch region to make contact with Carl and to get out there on the streets and support him.
Carl Bromley stands in stark contrast to the fashionable woke madness that is sweeping the globe and corroding the very foundations of our societies.
And he does so without guile.
Anyone who is unfamiliar with my personal Political leanings, let me state that I myself am a Christian, and a Libertarian, and a Maori who does not support the politics of Treaty separatism.
I believe it is important for Maori who do not support the hateful woke radical far left to stand up behind good and honest candidates like Carl who have the integrity and courage to vocally challenge the systemic racism and power grabs that are raging under the current Far Left Ardern regime.
I defend Carl’s assertions about the injustice and divisiveness of the Separatist agenda and call the people of Christchurch to shrug off the bogus woke guilt trip that Maori are an oppressed victim-population… that Non-Maori are Usurpers… and to boldly rally behind Carl’s call for an end to racist politics. I believe Carl’s policy is not only righteous, but in the best interest of the nation… including the Maori people.
Remember Martin Luther Kings dream? It is as applicable here in New Zealand as it was when he said it. The irony is that now it is the Pakeha who are being unjustly judged by the colour of their skin. For all their wild claims of inclusivity it is the Woke far left who exhibit extreme exclusivity, division, and venom.
I have written on this subject many times, and I have even stood for Council myself in Hamilton, and so I know from first hand experience the road that Carl is walking.
And hopefully enough Christchurch voters are not so stupefied by Woke lunacy and appreciate that a vote for Carl is a vote for all that has been good about our country… and made New Zealand the envy of the world… All the things that the Far Left despise… Our values… our openness… our Freedoms… our prosperity… Our independence… Our unity.
I will post some links below.
I have also blogged on Carl’s ‘run ins’ with the Ardern regime because of a refusal to bend the knee… the very real oppression he has suffered because of his insistence to remain free.
Among other things, as a Pastor and Church leader Carl refused to allow the Ardern regime to prohibit his congregation from worship during the ‘Fake Covid pandemic’… by fake I do not mean Covid 19 not a real disease, but that it was never the ‘existential threat’ the ‘Schwab-ite treasonous Far left Leaders about the globe pretended it to be for the sake of bankrupting Western civilisation via extreme lockdowns and by subjugating whole populations to home-detention unless they submitted to receiving a ‘Global Vaccine passport’.
Anyone who still believes the lies of their Far left government henchmen must have rocks for brains as now even Bill Gates admits Covid 19 was no where near the world ending pathogen they had insisted it was and which was the justification for the lockdowns and the attempted mandatory inoculation of the entire population of humanity!
Bill Gates recent confession proves people like Carl were 100% right, and the Governments like the Ardern regime… absolutely wrong… and found to be peddling a globalist scam rather than acting in the best interest of New Zealanders.
How much of Carl’s bid for Office will focus on how our Government behaved during the past two years I do not know. I know he certainly has other matters on his radar, such as his opposition to the governments ‘Three Waters’ Asset grab, and it’s related ‘He Pua Pua’ agenda which is blatant racism and yet another attempt to sell out New Zealand to the UN Globalist agenda.
These are serious matters that have bearing on how local councils will function in the future.
While it is possible that as Carl’s campaign progresses Carl may release some policies with which I will not agree, my endorsement for Carl will not be easily shaken given his conduct in recent years has given me insights into the kind of man Carl Bromley is… he is a man after my own heart… a man who exemplifies the traditional spirit and values of our once great nation.
Carl want’s future generations to enjoy the same liberty and quality of life as we enjoyed as children.
Carl is a man of good will to all despite what any Radical Far left haters might say… simply because he opposes their blatant prejudices and oppressive ambitions.
Carl has stepped up!
Carl has given freedom lovers someone to vote for!
It’s now up to every individual to be equally committed to carrying him into office.
As Lee Williams says in his video above, Carl is starting off as a rank outsider and has his work cut out.
It is an uphill battle because we can be sure he wont get fair play from Christchurch’s media when it comes to informing the voters about where the various candidates stand on the hot topics… Media are notorious for supporting the status quo and in this regard they fail in their moral duty to maintain a level playing field. This makes it all the more imperative that those of you who are awake to the dire need to get people like Carl elected that you dig deep and seriously commit to getting the word out to the people of Christchurch… by sharing Carl’s campaign flyers… helping pay for his press releases to be published in local newspapers… help him to pay for Election posters, and even door knocking.
It is possible for a small group of committed supporters to carry Carl into registering 5%-10% on Polls and then the mainstream will pay him more attention and he will start to get better press… and yet it will be up to his supporters to put him on the map as a real contender.
He cannot do this on his own.
And should he start to gain traction, that is when it is possible some Citizens of means may pour in much needed campaign funds for him to drive his Run all the way home!
This is doable!
It just takes dedication and hard work… from everyone.
I have told Carl I am here for him to discuss issues and policies, and bounce ideas off, yet he has not as of yet taken me up on this offer.
My experience with local body politics and elections, and insights in how to avoid embarrassing inconsistencies is at his disposal.
Maybe my Libertarianism is a bit rich for his tastes… I can understand that.
Yet the offer stands.
I have no doubt that Carl and I will have differences of opinions on many matters and policies, and yet at the vital core of fundamental values and ideals we are in accord.
And it is for this reason I believe Carl is fit for Council… a man of good will and integrity… and thus without reservation I endorse his candidacy and encourage the people of Christchurch to support him in his bid for Mayor.
I am still pondering whether I shall run again for Hamilton City Council myself.
Tim Wikiriwhi.
P.S Yesterday I attended a sausage sizzle… ‘The Common sense BBQ’ put on by Hamilton Deputy Mayor Geoff Taylor on the Pukete-Flagstaff foot bridge.
He will be running for Hamilton Mayor.
Like Carl Bromley, Geoff also sees the ‘Three Waters’ Ardern Agenda as an outrageously undemocratic Asset grab.
He is also running a petition for a public referenda on the Current drive to rename Hamilton places and Streets in an attempt to blot out our Colonial heritage, and also on the anti-democratic separatist scheme of ‘Co-governance’… which is nothing less than racist socialist apartheid.
He seeks to curb spending, and free up land for housing to reduce the current madness of ‘intensification’ by which we can see the New Zealand quality of life evaporating before our very eyes.
Geoff seeks to facilitate privately inspired development of Hamilton rather than ‘fund it’ via rates.
On the strength of these important policies I will be encouraging Hamiltonians to vote for Geoff Taylor.

‘No Hope’?
This Blogpost had only been up on social media 1/2 an hour when a feeble minded turnip remarked… “There’s no way he’ll win so all he’s doing is splitting the vote helping the opposition…”
This is the sort of defeatist slave mentality that perpetuates the Rot!
I apologise for my derogatory tone… the proposition is worth discussion as it is a point of view that many people have been duped into believing.
Unless we can snap people out of this pessimism there is little point in having elections…. for the powers that be… will remain entrenched.
Satan laughing spreads his wings!
My Reply…. ” …Splitting the vote between who?
Is there a Candidate more worthy of your vote than Carl?
Then give them your vote! But if there is no candidate who better represents your personal views than Carl… then you will be wasting your vote if you do not give it to him!
That is how democracy is supposed to function… not how you foolishly suggest… ie like betting on the races!
You would vote for someone who does not represent your values simply because in your mind they have more hope of winning?
That is like scoring an own goal!
Carl will not win… if people who know he is right… still don’t support him…”
As I said in my post … It is an uphill climb yet if those who care get behind Carl and the people of Christchurch get to hear and appreciate what Carl represents… he can win.
In fact by standing up for what is right, and giving likeminded Enlightened people a worthy candidate upon which to cast their vote… Carl is already winning on the moral front.
Democracy is supposed to contrast itself to Monarchy and Elitist Oligarchy. It is supposed to be classless and give the working man an equal opportunity to participate in parliament, or Council. It is only the folly of the working Class that they so often vote for Fat Cats, and Tyrants, and neglect the Hard working Family men and Champions of Common sense… like Carl.
And you wonder why Parliaments and Councils fill to the brim with University graduate radicals and Plutocrats???
We need to break this hypnotic stupor.
Wikipedia says…. Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited (/ˈfɒntɛrə/) is a New Zealand multinational publicly traded dairy co-operative owned by around 10,500 New Zealand farmers.[3] The company is responsible for approximately 30% of the world’s dairy exports[4] and with revenue exceeding NZ$17.2 billion,[5] is New Zealand’s largest company.”
The NZ Dairy Workers Union (I am not a member) distributed a leaflet on December 17 2021 stating that
‘On 26 October, the Government passed legislation that gives all employers the right to introduce compulsory Vaccinations in workplaces if this is the outcome of a Government-authorised Risk Assessment process.’
In December Fonterra notified workers they had carried out an assessment and indicated their intention to mandate vaccination for all staff, yet also stated the proposals were currently only in draft form and that Fonterra was allowing a consultation period whereby those affected could make their views known… submissions being open until December 20. Later this deadline was extended to December 27
As an affected unvaccinated Contract Engineer, I participated in the submissions process hoping to sway Fonterra to reconsider.
There is a particularly difficult aspect of all this that has stifled open discussion.
By their very nature of being ‘Workplace related’, it is very hard to discuss the real world impact of the Ardern Regime’s latest corrupt legislation that gave New Zealand Employers the legal power to demand all staff be vaccinated… because worker/employer relationships and business have many contractual privacy obligations.
How then can the public interest be served when corporations seek to keep confidential their processes and procedures for various reasons?
As a political commentator and Libertarian activist who gives advice to many people on these subjects, including many people who share my personal desire to remain unvaccinated how can I be open and honest and yet at the same time remain circumspect about what I reveal about any privileged information I might be privy to as a servant of Fonterra?
The following post is my attempt to walk this precarious tightrope and do justice to all concerned.
As I intend to fully honour all such business obligations on my part to Fonterra I will not discuss any details about the worker consultation process they carried out, only to say that I submitted both a written submission, and later an oral submission to their process.
I am publishing these personal opinions on my blog today without comment for the public record, and for the purpose that some of my ideas may be helpful to others who are going through the same process with their employers.
The opinions expressed should not be mistaken as legally objective facts… but only as strongly held subjective personal views open to counter-views.
Any objective truthfulness will borne out by unfolding history.
Amen.
The purpose for sharing them is not to cast any ill light onto Fonterra but for the purpose of informing the greater public discourse on how the vaccine mandate legislatiion has impacted Employer/employee relations… how this Jazz is goin down.
This is important.
It is normal practice for submissions to Government hearings to be available to the public to weigh up for themselves the merits or otherwise of submissions made and the resultant determinations.
I have taken care to redact out other peoples names, and anything that I believe ought to remain confidential to honour my contractual moral obligations.
I hope I have done a thorough job.

Oral Submission to Fonterra Committee for the Covid 19 Vaccine mandate proposal and Risk assessment. 20-1-22.
by Tim Wikiriwhi.
Good morning.
We live in strange times.
Hysteria is running amok!
Yet as far as Global pandemics go Covid 19 has been an absolute fizzer!
Survival rate is 99.97%!
There have been more than a 1000 cases of Covid in New Zealand over the past month, with zero deaths.
As time passes more and more people are waking up to the fact that this whole crisis has been grossly over-sold.
As time passes the vaccines prove to be less and less efficacious.
So much of what has been done in the name of fighting Covid 19 is superstitious nonsense , yet we are not allowed to question any of it.
Should we dare to do so we are accused of being lunatics, or conspiracy theorists.
Do you know what the definition of misinformation is these days?
Misinformation is any fact or opinion that contradicts what the government wants the people to believe.
I suppose you Executives are all vaccinated and have been enjoying your privileges granted to you by our great leader Jacinda Ardern as a reward for getting your vaccine passports.
Dining with colleagues at a café you are asked “Show us your papers”.
You casually display your personal Global QR code… and carry on enjoying lunch…. meanwhile thousands of New Zealanders are as we speak, forbidden these simple freedoms…. Not from science but from politics.
They are being punished for not submitting themselves to the government Jab.
This segregation is designed to break their resistance and cause them to abandon their personal judgement, feelings, and beliefs.
An example of how bogus this legilised segregation is can be seen should you be an unvaccinated person and visit a Fuel hub here in Te Rapa Hamilton in which there is a gas station with a subway bar attached by direct access. It is lawful for me to get a pie at the gas counter, yet illegal for me to purchase a sub only a few meters away!
This has nothing to do with science, or safety, and everything to do with the dirty politics of carrots and sticks!
I ask today… does Fonterra have any conscience at all about participating in this farcical and unjust political persecution of the unvaccinated?
Is Fonterra really happy to dance to Jacinda Ardern’s drum and become a major promoter and perpetuator of this discrimination in our society?
This behavior is truly outrageous and ought to be intolerable.
We… The Unvaccinated are not the enemy of Fonterra, nor do we stand in the way of company values.
We are in truth a significant group of dedicated workers who have done everything reasonable that has been asked of us to help Fonterra manage Covid 19 risk.
We are not… as the de-humanising social conditioning is currently being programmed into the masses… a bunch of dangerous disease carrying vermin.
How you choose to view us is important.
Do you appreciate our value to this company?
What sort of opinions do you guys at the Top think about the little people who work for you?
Over the years I have seen many signs that despite all sorts of clichés and platitudes that Management don’t have much regard for those beneath them, and this shows itself in staff retention problems… yet nothing in the past can compare to what is being contemplated today with regards to the vaccines!
You seek to treat your workforce like a herd of cattle rather than human beings with personal dignity and rights!
Cattle have no say whether they will be drenched or not!
What more proof is needed that Fonterra Management have nothing but contempt for their workers personal choices, values, and beliefs?
Surely you don’t expect to get away with such a cavalier treatment of your workforce without serious damage to worker morale???
Another sign that Fonterra is in crisis with morale among the workers is that many staff members have told me they agree with my stand that vaccination ought to remain a personal right to choose, yet they think my stand is futile… and a waste of time.
They are of the opinion that Fonterra Management is so far above them as to be untouchable by us lower ranks.
They tell me they think you have already decided to mandate the vaccines irrespective of how well we Resisters argue that such a move is both wrong, and a bad idea.
They say this believing you do not consider worker opinions of any importance or relevance.
This is evidence of failings in Fonterra’s management style which have created such a cultural attitude among your lower ranks.
Some workers think you have bargained away their rights to appease foreign customer demands!
God forbid it to be so!
There could be few propositions so callous of a workforce!
Workers rights can never be traded away simply to secure sales.
They are not yours to negotiate with.
Indifference from the Top to the real world effects your decisions have on those under your leadership destroys Productivity in your workforce.
Your workers cannot be proud of working for a company in which they believe they as individuals count for nothing.
You need to consider the massive detrimental effects mandating the vaccine will have, not only on those of us who will lose our jobs, but also on those that remain.
What you are proposing is no lightweight matter!
You need to fully contemplate the enormity and predatory nature of what you will be demanding.
You seek to impose yourselves upon us in the most personal and intimate way… You seek to inject ‘stuff’ into our bodies against our will!
Do you expect us to block out such a disrespectful intrusion and violation… and simply lie back and think about the money?
This is not a reasonable request.
This is a type of bully behavior by the powerful of this company upon those with no power…. Holding our very livelihoods to ransom.
It ought not to be this way!
How about instead you choose to change course and respect our rights?
Now that is a proposition that would positively affect Workplace morale and show that in truth upper Management does have respect for individual workers dignity and rights.
Realise that having herd worker concerns that should you reconsider and advise against mandating the vaccine that this would turn this from a disaster into a positive boon to company morale!
This issue really has the potential to define how Fonterra treats it’s staff… it is an opportunity not to be missed…. Please demonstrate some respect!
The New Zealand Bill of Rights Section 11 states:
The Right to refuse medical treatment.
Everyone has the right to refuse to undergo any medical treatment.
This clause is in plain English and should be the only exemption against being compelled to be vaccinated that any New Zealand citizen should need.
The bill of Rights is supposed to protect the rights of minorities from mob rule.
In times of Crisis there is a tendency for fear to trump reason and for morals and decency to be jettisoned in favour of rash and radical actions. Human beings get steam rolled over… while being told it is for the greater good.
Ardern’s latest legislation which seeks to covertly impose vaccine mandates using workplace safety legislation is in direct violation of the New Zealand bill of rights… so too will any vaccine mandate by any New Zealand company be.
What Fonterra decides to do will greatly affect workers’ rights right across the country… for better or for worse.
The political powers that be want Fonterra to do their dirty work for them and destroy workers rights to make their own health decisions.
Anyone with a modicum of historical knowledge knows that bad politicians use times of crisis to increase their own powers and rob the people of their rights.
Injustices ensue.
And once rights are lost they are never given back without a hard and costly struggle.
These are the massive implications of what is going on here.
Fonterra can rise to the occasion and decide not to mandate the vaccines… I pray this is what you decide to do!
The Vaccine mandates are not science based.
They are not medically sound practice.
Appreciate the truth that when it comes to Medicine… *one size does not fit all!*
The drive to vaccinate everyone is not based upon medical prudence but instead is a cold political calculation … with collateral damage measured in destroyed lives.
Fonterra needs to wake up to what is really going on here!
The government have an agenda and they are trying to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes as far as the safety of the vaccines are concerned.
The fact is no one know what the long term effects of these vaccines will have on the health of everyone who has blindly allowed themselves to be experimented upon because the vaccines were rushed into distribution without following normal safety protocols and there has not been enough time to evaluate their safety in the long term.
This is an unassailable fact and it ought to cause Fonterra to be very hesitant in issuing the directive that all staff must be vaccinated.
The vaccines have proven not to be the magic Bullet Politicians and Bill gates promised them to be.
The vaccines do not prevent anyone for contracting or transmitting the virus so Fonterra must rely primarily upon all it’s tried and true processes and protocols it already has in place to safely manufacture food in an environment rife with Pathogens.
Germs and viruses are nothing new.
All Fonterras’ systems are designed to ensure high quality Safe product.
I will not bring my submission to a close.
I make myself available to you for any further help that I might be able to provide to facilitate a good and just outcome.
Mandating the vaccines is bad business.
It is bad for workplace culture.
Mandating the vaccines is far more about politics than safety.
Mandating the vaccines is a violation of the New Zealand Bill of Rights.
Workers should be respected to make their own choice on this matter.
Thank you for your time, and I am happy to discuss these matters and answer any questions.

From the Fonterra Focus July 2013.
[Written] Submission to the Fonterra Vaccination Mandate Proposal.
Written by Tim Wikiriwhi.
Contract Engineer.
Te Rapa Processing Plant.
24-12-21.
Kia Ora Miles from Te Rapa Waikato.
Regarding Fonterra Management’s intention to make Covid vaccination a non-negotiable condition for ongoing employment and services on all Fonterra sites from the 1st of March 2022.
1.Introduction.
An email you posted 8 December 2021 notified workers of this intention, yet also stated the proposals were currently only in draft form and that Fonterra was allowing a consultation period whereby those affected could make their views known… submissions being open until December 20. Later this deadline was extended to December 27.
This letter is my submission to this process as someone who will be adversely affected should this proposal become policy without allowing for broader justifications for granting exemption than the current draft allows.
It also contains other signatories [redacted] from Te Rapa site, some of whom are likewise affected as I am because they are not vaccinated and so far choose to remain so.
Other signatories [redacted] are fully vaccinated yet wish to support us in our right to make such medical decisions for ourselves.
Even though their employment is not in jeopardy from the proposal, they know what is at stake and that if this proposal is ratified unchanged that it undermines all workers’ rights in principle to choose for themselves… not just the unvaccinated. They are as equally concerned about what Fonterra management are considering as those of us who are looking at the possibility of losing our jobs.
These vaccinated staff want Fonterra to know that they too disapprove of your mandate proposal as it stands.
This is not a matter of the Vaccinated vs the Unvaccinated but a question of Compulsion vs Freedom.
The idea of imposing universal vaccination as a condition of employment is harsh in the extreme.
We appreciate the fact that Fonterra is seeking to comply with recent legislation in carrying out a Risk Assessment to see if such extreme measures are warranted to provide a safe work environment.
Unlike other workplace PPE and safeguards like masks, vaccination cannot be taken off when we go home.
In this submission I seek to unpack as many aspects of this controversy as I can so that all the facts are on the table when Fonterra makes it’s final decision.
It is our hope that after having genuinely considered submissions like this one Fonterra Executives will be moved to reconsider this matter in it’s entirety.
We realise that we are hoping for a miracle, esp given the heavily propagandised climate in which this is taking place.
Facing the prospect of losing my job I am fearful about my future.
2.Disclosure of personal opinions, beliefs, and concerns.
I am uncomfortable about many of the things I am about to say as they are opinions which under normal circumstances I would never raise in discussions with Fonterra, because under normal circumstances there would be no need.
I try to keep a strict separation between my professional life, and my personal beliefs.
It is only that this proposal is of such dire consequences for myself and many other good people, that it behooves me to talk about things I would prefer to remain private.
To do a thorough risk analysis Fonterra must look at the Big picture.
When I use the terms ‘Us’, ‘Our’ and ‘We’, I am referring to Fonterra staff who have chosen not to be vaccinated.
3.A short summary of who I am.
My name is Tim Wikiriwhi.
I am married with one dependent child and am an engineering contractor who has been doing maintenance and production troubleshooting for the past 14 years at your Te Rapa site.
I sub-contract to Fonterra via ‘Dairy Systems Maintenance and Engineering (DSME) Ltd’, yet this submission is written on my own behalf and independent of DSME Ltd.
I trade under my own name.
So my relationship with the Te Rapa Milk Processing Plant has been longstanding.
To all accounts I am a Fonterra employee in all but name.
I work 40 hours a week.
I am scheduled work just as the regular staff are.
I have my own Fonterra On-line Milky way account, and use the company SAP system the same way Site maintenance staff do.
A few phone calls to the various department managers would be all it would take for you to find out that I have a first class reputation for safety, reliability, and quality of workmanship as an engineer.
I have first rate problem solving skills that are constantly being utilised to prevent and minimise plant downtime.
This is because I have dedicated myself to achieving your companies’ values and aspirations.
I live locally and my relationship with Te Rapa has been mutually beneficial for both parties, yet now my whole livelihood is in jeopardy because of this mandatory vaccination proposal.
4. Defending the motives, character, and Informed basis of those of us who oppose compulsory vaccination.
If it is a simple matter of common sense that universal vaccination is a reasonable course to pursue then why would so many otherwise intelligent people resist?
Those pushing for mandatory universal vaccinations often try to portray those who will not submit as either ignorant misguided fools, or as rouges bereft of any social conscience.
They would have you treat us as if we are misfits, whose opinions should be ignored.
Are such gross derogatory opinions objectively true?
No!
On the contrary, if you take myself as an example, I can justifiably claim to have a very strong sense of civic duty much higher than the average person.
My social concerns have motivated me to stand for Parliament, and for Hamilton City Council many times. When I am not fixing your pumps and valves, I am involving myself in the politics of our day… because I care a lot about what affects New Zealand society.
I am a Father, Grandfather, Christian Libertarian… as well as an Engineer.
If then people like myself cannot simply be written off as ignorant reprobates, it must be asked if it is possible that genuine safety concerns and other relevant factors exist that ultimately make mandating universal vaccination on all Fonterra sites a bad proposition.
Because I am a vigilant and concerned citizen, and the magnitude of what has been going on over the past 2 years, I have gone the extra mile to ensure that I am well-informed on the Covid 19 pandemic, the vaccines, and the government response.
I have made several submissions to the government on legislative measures and response, etc.
These are not the activities of a thoughtless and indifferent person, but a fully engaged citizen.
I hope this submission is therefore received in the spirit in which it is written… that of a loyal servant of the company, and New Zealand Citizen seeking to add value to this discussion in participation of your worker submissions process.
5. This submission is not an ‘anti-vax’ diatribe.
Having weighed up all information from many sourses I chose not to take the Covid 19 vaccine, and yet I am not an ‘Anti-vaxxer’ which is a derogatory term used to portray a person as an anti-science loon much in the same way the term ‘Flat Earther’ is used.
I am simply Pro-free choice as of right.
My 3 children have received all their vaccinations,
My wife has chosen to take the Covid 19 shots.
I am not a loon, nor should I be treated like ‘a naughty child’ for refusing to obey ‘our great Leader’ Jacinda Ardern.
I am an independent thinking person who holds dissenting opinions about how our country has handled this pandemic, and I am acting fully within my democratic rights to hold such opinions.
There is therefore nothing shameful about my conduct in this regard.
6. We have done our part in the fight against Covid 19 yet Ardern keeps pushing us down.
Like all New Zealanders, for 2 years We have complied with heavy restrictions, yet despite all our sacrifices we now face persecution that threatens to destroy our lives simply because we desire to maintain our own evaluation and conclusions concerning the risk/benefits with regards to the shots.
What happened to Comrade Ardern’s ‘Team of 5 million’… we are all in this together type rhetoric?
What happened to her promise that she would not impose vaccine mandates?
Both these statements have proven hollow frauds.
Her nasty dictatorial side has revealed itself.
She is the central reason why this process is now happening.
Twist by twist she has tightened the screws upon New Zealand citizens in complete disregard for our rights.
Via enacting oppressive legislation she is gunning for our jobs.
She could have passed an outright mandate directly, yet she is a far more devious political operator than that.
Her scheme is to blackmail private businesses into imposing her will by proxy using workplace safety as the pretext with the ever present threat of court action for businesses who do not provide ‘safe’ workplaces.
By this means she hopes to bypass sections in the Bill of Rights such as section 13 which protects us form discrimination on religious grounds.
This sleight of hand must be understood with it’s relevance to the business at hand, and how it crosses such ethical boundaries and safeguards that must not be overlooked.
These problems ought to factor into your risk assessment process because what you are considering has monumental implications that extend far out into workers private lives.
Should you impose any vaccination mandate without weighty consideration of how this will seriously impact your workers on such a fundamental level of their rights and wellbeing, you cannot claim to have done due diligence in this risk assessment.
Jacinda Ardern is hoping you will disregard any such considerations as irrelevant to workplace health and safety, and yet you must also consider the impact your decision will have on your workers private lives too.
Under Ardern, We who have decided against taking the shots are being treated like lesser New Zealanders… with less dignity… with less rights… treated as if we pose a threat to everyone else.
This is persecution.
My marriage might break under this strain.
Some may marvel that people like myself are so stubbornly resisting given how much we have to lose, yet apart from the very real risks involved in taking the shots a chief reason I am resisting is that I find it absolutely contemptible that people are expected to consent to a medical treatment because of purely non-medical considerations and threats!
That is not how self-responsible adults are supposed to make medical decisions!
This duress is nothing short of tyrannical.
This is a violation of our legitimate right to say no.
What Fonterra is contemplating under the sanction of our current Labour Led Government is morally wrong.
8. The New Zealand Bill of Rights.
The New Zealand Bill of Rights, Section 11 states:
Right to refuse to undergo medical treatment. Everyone has the right to refuse to undergo any medical treatment.
This is in plain English and should be the only exemption against being forcefully vaccinated that New Zealand citizens should need!
Do not pretend that this vaccine mandate proposal is anything other than heavy coercion that is in direct contravention of the New Zealand Bill of Rights.
Being told we must get vaccinated under threat of losing our jobs is not a free choice, but a form of employer/employee extortion.
9.The Legislation, and failure of the Unions to defend workers rights.
The NZ Dairy Workers Union (I am not a member) distributed a leaflet on December 17 stating that
‘On 26 October, the Government passed legislation that gives all Employers the right to introduce compulsory Vaccinations in workplaces if this is the outcome of a Government-authorised Risk Assessment process.’
What is shocking about this leaflet is the absolute failure of the DWU to point out that the above mentioned legislation renders the New Zealand Bill of Rights section 11 void!
You would think that they would have made note of this and been quick to point out how serious a violation this is, and put out a call to members to rally against it.
And yet they have not.
Many workers… both vaccinated and unvaxed are wondering what the hell their Union is playing at when they say ‘the DWU strongly supports the Government and Ministry of Health nationwide COVID Vaccination program.’ The Unions are just one so called independent lobby groups that Labourite leader Ardern has in her back pocket.
Workers can see their Union has sold them down the river.
I am not referring to worker department reps, many of whom are disappointed by the position their superiors have taken that puts them in a very awkward spot with their peers.
I myself am not surprised given Union Upper Echelons have always been in bed with the Labour party.
Union Bigwigs turn a blind eye when the oppressors are their own political comrades.
This is corruption.
There is no good reason why Unions could not have taken the position of expressing their recommendation that all members get vaccinated, and yet also state they would still stand by those members who for their own reasons and concerns choose not to be vaccinated.
This is their moral duty to their members and would place them on the right side of the Bill of Rights.
And yet they have chosen not to take such a principled stand.
Unions are working in cahoots with the Labour Government and we can only speculate at what sort of deals they have been doing behind closed doors.
Tragically, it looks like many Fonterra staff are being abandoned by their Unions.
This also highlights why it is necessary for me to table the political context in which Fonterra’s Risk Assessment is taking place.
There is a hell of a lot going on in the shadows that jeopardises any hope of objectivity holding sway in this health and safety process.
It is not beyond credible conjecture to believe if this was a National Party led initiative the Unions position would be vastly different.
Furthermore Ardern is seeking to control and narrow the scope of any assessments carried out to further restrict what oppositions can be raised against mandating vaccination.
Will Fonterra join this powerful Clique who show zero compunction about trampling a minority of good workers underfoot for their own political ends?
I say that to mandate vaccinations under the guise of workplace safety entails far more than simply stating you now have the legal power to do so, Fonterra needs to explain in clear terms why it believes it has the moral justification to ignore the Bill of rights which forbids such coercion.
The verdict of history condemns as guilty those who violate the rights of people under their power and then attempt to hide their wickedness behind such excuses as ‘We were only following orders!’, or ‘We were obeying the law’.
10. Such Laws that violate rights are evil and ought to be resisted.
The legitimacy of the entire Labour led Government itself is open to question in this regard. Virtually everything that has been enacted under PM Ardern has been done via subversion… bypassing all the due processes and safeguards against bad and oppressive laws being perpetrated against the population. Virtually all of it has been rushed into law in the dead of night with virtually zero public consultation.
Our nation has been transformed from a free society into almost a Police State over night.
People now have to ‘present their papers’… Vaccine passports to be allowed to go about their ordinary business, and New Zealanders who wish to remain unvaccinated are facing serious prejudices.
I pray Fonterra does not become complicit in this grand evil scheme.
11. The oppression is real.
It is staggering how quickly human beings… certain minorities can find their personal beliefs to be at variance with powerful agendas and are transformed from being considered valuable essential workers into social outcastes, having their rights diminished, and be treated like their very existence is a hazard.
Sociologists call this a process of dehumanisation.
12. Maintaining objectivity in conducting the Risk Assessment and not allowing political pressure to influence the outcome.
As the legislation stands Fonterra may assess the risks Covid 19 poses to their staff and operation, yet if conducted properly it ought not be a foregone conclusion that compulsory vaccination must be accepted as a reasonable expedient.
That is open to very compelling practical challenges which when coupled to the moral aspects involved … the clear matter of rights… Fonterra can reach the conclusion that mandating vaccination for all is not warranted or justifiable.
After weighing up all relevant facts, pondering submissions, and Fonterra Objectively reaching such a conclusion, should the government then try to pressure Fonterra for making such a stand, you would have legal grounds to hire a QC and legal team to fight back.
It would not be difficult to shine a public spotlight on this governments corrupt legislative abuses, and you can be sure far more New Zealanders would support Fonterra for this than might be gleaned from what is currently being said in our compromised media. Thousands of smaller businesses who simply cannot afford to challenge this political corruption would be eternally grateful should Fonterra become a bulwark against this tyrannical government which is bankrupting them in the hundreds every month.
None of what the government is doing is good for NZ business or our economy.
Mandating vaccination is a political drive to use peoples jobs as a means to pressure them into doing something that goes against our own inclinations… and force us into line … cloaked under the guise of Public / workplace health and safety.
The pretext being that anyone who does not consent is therefore acting contrary to health and safety.
Such a rationale is an over-simplification of the situation that cannot withstand rigorous scrutiny.
When examined fully this rationale is exposed as nothing more than a weak excuse to impose a very draconian program that violates the highest ethical principles.
A system at variance with the very foundations of our once free society.
And yet nobody is supposed to raise these issues.
That is the Elephant in the room.
13. The cost of standing up for our rights draws upon us the displeasure of the powers that be.
Under such duress some Fonterra staff have already lost hope, succumbed, and submitted to your threats and have been vaccinated against their own will and judgement rather than risk losing everything.
We know that Jacinda Ardern takes perverse pleasure in treating us little people like pawns, and breaking our will, yet how can Fonterra take any pride in this?
The stress and worry your proposal entails is adversely affecting worker mental health and wellbeing.
Others like myself cannot in good conscience submit to the Jab under duress, and unless you find it in your conscience to drop this whole proposal or make some way for us to be exempt, we dedicated workers and service providers shall be rendered unemployed.
This means we are at high risk of failing on our mortgages and of being unable to provide for our families.
We shall be utterly ruined because of our determination not to be bullied out of holding to our personal beliefs.
This is especially true because in today’s political climate of Covid hysteria as it will be very difficult for us to find alternative employment.
Some people may even become suicidal as a result of losing their jobs.
You must know this is not an exaggeration on my part but a very high probability.
Does any of this factor into your risk assessment process?
14. Fighting to save our Free Land.
We are not bad people. We are not foolish people. Nor do we desire to come into conflict with Fonterra’s ultimate business aims.
We simply desire to do our jobs, and yet because of the push to force upon us medical decisions that violate our own autonomy, we must stand up for our freedom and rights knowing these are values that cannot be surrendered without unconscionable results for future generations… for our families and nation as a whole.
We desire our children to inherit a free country in which they are sovereign over their own bodies and the government and others *don’t have the power* to imposed such agendas upon them.
We will not surrender our right to say no!
We are standing up for ‘God’s own country’… the country we love, and the way of life our Anzacs have bled and died for…not this Covid Tyranny!
Now it is our turn to defend our country from those who threaten our freedom, yet sadly today the threat is coming from our own political class!
Will Fonterra stand strong for the New Zealand we were bequeathed by the Greatest generation, or will you sell us out to the Socialists who work for the Global vax agenda, not the well being of New Zealanders?
If Fonterra seeks to remain on the side of right, you must steer away from such oppressive socialist policies!
Seeking to compel every one in the world into getting vaccinated is truly Maniacal!
It’s outrageous megalomania!
How can any sane person construe this madness with being in the common good?
It’s Diabolical!
15 Essential workers one day. Out with the trash the next!
For all we have done playing our part in fighting Covid 19, we are now to be thrown out like last weeks newspaper.
I am typical of the hundreds on faceless little people who have dedicated ourselves to Fonterra and to it’s values, and who have worked on site right through the pandemic as essential workers, and have modified our shift patterns to help Fonterra’s covid isolation strategy and yet for all that we have done for Fonterra, we now find we are likely to be thrown to the Wolves.
Are Fonterra Executives in their air conditioned board room so isolated from us little people who work in their factories, and drive their tankers that they can make such decisions without conscience of the devastation they will cause in our lives?
Are we and our families so insignificant to you?
Surely you can find some way to achieve your aims without being so brutal to people who have faithfully served you?
These things ought to factor high in your mind as you conduct your risk assessment.
When considering implementing any new safety initiative to either eliminate, isolate, or minimise an identified potential hazard any new initiatives musty pass a fundamental qualification that they do not introduce any new hazards. Ie True Safety initiatives must be more than just a knee jerk reaction to be seen doing ‘something’.
Safety Solutions to problems must promise to be conclusively a move in the right direction and deliver real gains, and that is what makes running a good health and safety system a difficult task that takes Good minds to run properly, because so many suggestions can turn out to be worse than if nothing was done at all.
There are not only risks of serious adverse reactions from the vaccines that Fonterra cannot ignore in it’s Assessment, there is also the heavy price that will be paid in the lives of all affected by a decision that will cost them their livelihoods.
16. It is not in anyone’s best interest to threaten peoples livelihoods.
When you powerful Executives sit at your meetings deciding our fate, please do not frame this matter as if you are caring about our health and well being.
A decision to force us into obedience otherwise to you will treat us as if we are vermin, and exile us from our place of work, and expose us to financial ruin is the very opposite thing of caring about our well being.
Nor is that *your duty*!
As far as our own health goes, that is foremost a matter of our own responsibility. We should be left to make up our own minds about vaccination.
17. How large a Risk do the unvaccinated pose to vaccinated staff?
How great a risk to others, and Fonterra product do the unvaccinated really represent?
Quantifying this accurately is difficult. Fonterra must guard against hyper-paranoia.
I believe the truth is the minority of Staff and others who remain unvaccinated do not pose any significantly greater threat to Fonterra Food safety or to other staff members than the vaccinated Staff do… after all they have been vaccinated have they not?
Those whom have chosen to be vaccinated are supposed to have a layer of personal protection from the virus.
We are told that getting vaccinated reduces the severity of the illness.
There is some very convoluted logic being employed to justify vaccination mandates.
18. The vaccines do not prevent transmission.
One of the great early deception’s that has been exposed is the vaccines are now know not to be the magic bullet that was supposed to guarantee life returns to normal.
This was promised by Bill Gates early on when he was convincing governments around the world to buy Billions of dollars worth of his product for which his corporations were also given immunity from prosecution for any death or injury his product caused.
Given the vaccine does not prevent the vaccinated from contracting or spreading the virus one wonders on what scientific basis any significant workplace benefits can be expected to be gained from violating individual choice and demanding everyone be vaccinated esp given the high rates of vaccination which have already been achieved without the mandate.
Do the math. Most of any perceived gains have already been achieved voluntarily, and so only a fraction of this perceived advantage can be hoped for by a mandate.
The truth is vaccinated staff are still a Covid risk.
Actions other than vaccination must be the priority.
19. Managing the Covid 19 risks.
Fonterra has already been managing the risks to workers in your production plants for two years, by other means.
For example by implementing higher segregation of shifts, many staff working from home, running on line meetings, Having special Covid 19 permit check lists.
We are already instructed not to come to work should we in the slightest way feel flu-like symptoms.
We are temperature checked at the gate.
So far New Zealand has experienced several outbreaks of Covid 19, including high numbers in the Waikato and yet the measures Fonterra Te Rapa has already in place have proven very effective in keeping manufacturing sites Covid free and staff safe.
If anything there is plenty of sound reasons to believe Fonterra has already been over zealous (eg insisting Staff wear masks when they are working alone outside), and yet all Staff including the unvaccinated have done their best to comply with all company directives.
Please do not now… after all we have done for the company… tell us we have not been committed enough, or safety conscious enough… and that you will now take away our jobs!
20. Fonterra Product Safety.
Fonterra has always been able to safely manufacture food in an environment rife with viruses and pathogens.
The Flu, Listeria, Salmonella, Legionnaires disease, Hepatitis… just to name a few.
Virtually all the final processes and packaging are ‘Hands free’.
Sanitisation and other Bio-controls have been normal practice well before anyone ever herd of Covid 19.
It must be remembered that globally Influenza kills many hundreds of thousands of people every year
All through Heavy Flu seasons Fonterra has soldiered on pumping out Billions of dollars of first rate product.
Fonterra routinely offers free Flu shots to anyone who wanted them… and that has been considered good enough to fulfill their Employer obligations and protect Operations.
These things being so draws heavily into question that any valid scientific basis exists to justify a call for compulsory vaccinations on site.
Because of stringent biological controls are standard practice in food processing and manufacture means the true threat Covid 19 actually poses to Fonterra product is small, and manageable.
No extreme measures can be justified.
Perhaps Quality Assurance procedures could be an area where extra vigilance could help alleviate product safety concerns.
21. Do not bend to hysteria.
In conducting this risk assessment Fonterra is in danger of allowing panic and extremism to cause them to make a very inhumane decision that will cause real harm to workers.
Have you calculated just how many might lose their jobs?
If we use government stats that nearly 90% of New Zealanders have been vaccinated it is plausible that up to 10% of Fonterra Staff could be facing unemployment. This could easily number in the thousands.
From what has happened in Health and Education we know soul-less Jacinda Ardern couldn’t care less.
Does Fonterra have any stronger sympathies and sense of doing the right thing than our stone faced power mad PM?
22. It looks like time is not on Ardern’s side.
As time marches forward, progressively one by one, all the assumptions about the danger Covid 19 really poses, the efficacy of the vaccines, and the lockdowns, mask obsessions, have all been exposed as fallacious, and founded upon pure folly, not science fact.
My submission is seeking to prevent Fonterra from making one of these monumental blunders.
When history is written our generation will wince in embarrassment at how they were driven by fear into adopting such extreme and absurd policies.
My Goodness!
It beggars belief that so many New Zealanders are currently oblivious to the shear madness of the what is going on!
What will it take to break this mass hypnosis?
23. Covid 19 neurosis is prevalent.
This is a politically manufactured hysteria.
As I have indicated above there are simple rational things that can be done… all practicable steps to mitigate risks, and when things are conducted reasonably you will get virtually universal buy in from all parties… but right now the voice of reason is being shouted down by hysteria and delusion!
This is a critical time in which Fonterra needs bold leadership to defend our cherished Kiwi values, with the will to stand strongly opposed to the extremism that is sweeping the world.
New Zealand needs champions to defend our Free Land.
Will my plea fall upon deaf ears?
24. First hand accounts of Deaths and Vaccine injuries from Staff.
There are many just and reasonable motives why individuals might choose not to be vaccinated which render Fonterra’s intentions immoral and unjust and a form of persecution.
Some staff members have told me of family members who have suffered serious adverse reactions to the shots and are afraid they too might suffer such an event.
People have died from taking the shots.
This is a legitimate concern and far too common to be ignored.
Fonterra Executives must be aware of this.
Though seriously under reported, deaths and injuries on official databases clearly show the Covid 19 vaccines have caused more serious harm and death than all other vaccines combined over the past 30 years.
Many vaccination programs have been stopped after far fewer deaths and injuries.
What level of risk of serious harm from these Covid vaccines are acceptable to Fonterra?
How about instead deciding to honour every employees right not to be compelled into medical treatment against their will?
This is a legitimate option!
This way Fonterra completely eliminates the risk that a vaccine mandates entails… that ordering everyone get vaccinated might cause serious harm and even death to some of your employees.
Why should Staff members accept your assessment rather than their own assessment of the risks?
How can the Fonterra be so brash as to think they can make such a demand of all their workers when there is no way for you to be fully informed of each individual’s personal circumstances?
25. Political extremists hold sway in NZ parliament.
Because of our belligerent parliament that is hell bent on forcing universal compliance, it is illegal for New Zealand medical practitioners to issue medical exemptions even when GPs may believe there are sound medical grounds that warrants exemption.
Mirroring the governments own position, as your current mandate proposal stands you have set the bar so high, it is virtually impossible for staff to get an exemption on medical grounds or on the basis that they do not want to take the risk of adverse side effects.
You are usurping their personal right to make such an assessment of the risks.
The exemptions as they currently stand in your draft proposal ultimately are no exemptions at all… because so few people will be able to meet the narrow criteria.
Those whose lives have been destroyed by adverse reactions are coldly disregarded as ‘Collateral damage in the war against Covid 19’, and the Vaccine Juggernaut keeps rolling forward.
How much death, pain, and suffering, is an acceptable sacrifice to make before any consideration is made to stop this Vaccine agenda?
26. Exemptions on Religious grounds and the New Zealand Bill of Rights section 13.
Any workplace vaccine mandate will have implications and impact that extends far beyond the workplace.
Your decision will seriously encroach into the private sphere of your workers lives.
You must factor this into your assessment.
High on my list for rejecting the shots are my personal religious convictions.
The New Zealand Bill of Rights section 13 states:
Freedom of thought, conscience, and religion
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, religion, and belief, including the right to adopt and to hold opinions without interference.
I am a Christian, and because of the use of aborted babies’ tissue in the experimental development and manufacturing process of the vaccines, I cannot have any part in that. I consider abortion to be one of the greatest moral evils of our age and I cannot condone it nor have any part in it’s justification.
I therefore cannot comply with any demands I be Covid 19 vaccinated.
Our Bible says It is better for Christians to obey God rather than Men.
At the risk of exposing myself to ridicule from those who do not share my beliefs I will tell you that I personally see the Vaccine passports as being part of an Orwellian nightmare into which our country is being tricked.
In my faith I perceive this as highly likely the establishment of the Global Antichrist system my Bible warns me will come, and I do not want myself or my family to be put onto some globalist Database.
Not everyone who co-signed this submission agrees with me on religious matters, and yet many do, and all of them believe we have the right not to be compelled into doing things that go against our convictions.
Christianity is still a widely held set of beliefs that many Fonterra staff ascribe to.
And it is incontrovertible that it was primarily Christian Enlightenment values that were largely responsible for making our Nation such a wonderful place to be born.
These values stand in the way of the New World Order.
To expect workers to surrender their religious beliefs for the sake of compliance to indifferent Employer duress is something too shocking to be believed!
Surely not in 2022 New Zealand!
How quickly has our Nation fallen under Comrade Ardern!
I have already explained above why she has made vaccine mandates a workplace health and safety issue rather than a general decree so that she can sidestep Section 13 of the Bill of Rights by getting employers to do her dirty work in this regard. She wants every New Zealander using the Global vaccine passport system.
And yet large numbers of Christians like myself want no part in this.
We stand in opposition to her Globalist ideological ambitions.
We seek to maintain New Zealand’s National Independence so that we the NZ people can remain in control of our own destiny, esp in such matters as maintaining religious liberty… for all!
It should not matter whether any of you consider my private views to be credible or true.
My right to hold them is not dependent upon anyone else’s assent, and you ought to appreciate just how important it is that we maintain a society in which personal beliefs are not trampled underfoot by the powerful.
It is only in freedom and equality before the law that we can agree to disagree on politics, religion, and all the other matters that are rightfully within the private personal sphere.
Please do not get angry at me for raising these matters.
I know this complicates things and that your inclinations will be to try and avoid admitting any of this is relevant to this process, and yet it is relevant because it explains to you why many workers will not be vaccinated.
New Zealand Companies have been thrown by Demagogue Ardern into this quagmire.
Such is the nature of living in a free society that has in place legal safeguards against discrimination so that New Zealanders have been free to follow their own conscience in matters of faith (or the lack thereof).
Western Nations have been a shining light in the world comparative to less enlighten countries that have religiously intolerant regimes. By safeguarding religious liberty for all, our Society has remained fair, and peaceful, and enjoyed tolerance, coexistence, and cooperation causing us to prosper, and making New Zealand a great safe place to raise a family.
Our quality of life largely depends upon this dynamic.
Religious liberty is so important because without it powerful interests will start to undermine the rights of the less powerful with whom they share no fundamental affinity. This is how religious persecution arises, and is precisely what Jacinda Ardern is attempting to do as we speak… by manipulating you.
That Fonterra might assume their business interests are more important than respecting the religious views of their staff is incredibly coldhearted.
Such an attitude of complete disregard for religious conviction is something we would expect from the Chinese Regime, or North Korea, not a New Zealand company.
This is the backward direction Jacinda Ardern has taken our nation and it is beyond shameful!
Surely Fonterra does not wish to aid and abet this slide into Authoritarianism.
Fonterra must therefore consider exemptions on grounds for religious Liberty.
Demanding peaceful people sell out their religious convictions as a condition of employment is outrageously unjust.
27. The Vaccines have not been proven safe in the long term.
An important reason many of us do not want the vaccine is because to get it into the arms of the world, governments bypassed the rigorous safety protocols that Dr Fauchi himself stated that even if a vaccine is successful, normally takes ten years to complete.
This is a fact.
So there is a falsehood at work when for our Government claims science has proven the vaccines to be safe and effective.
There simply has not been enough time, nor the proper rigor done to substantiate that.
The long term effects of these vaccines are still 100% unknown.
Is Fonterra relying on Government spin that the vaccines are proven safe?
The technology upon which they are based is itself experimental!
Worse still there is a growing body of evidence that indicates these vaccines carry high risks, and are woefully ineffective… esp compared to natural immunity.
I would have thought Fonterra would also be far more cautious about insisting all employees get injected with an experimental vaccine that did not pass though the normal rigorous safety protocols.
28. Facts vs Misinformation.
Anyone who is not so silly to accept Jacinda Ardern’s Government apparatus as ‘Your single source of truth’ knows there have been reports around the globe of very serious side effects, and thousands of deaths attributable to the shots.
I hope these facts are not ignored in your risk assessment in favour of Propaganda that down plays the true risks.
In regards to misinformation, anyone who has not also been living under a rock also knows that there has been unprecedented censorship going on in the mainstream media as a concerted effort to hide the truth about serious adverse reactions, and the failure of the vaccines from the public.
All rational minds should be deeply concerned about the systematic suppression of free speech with regards to Covid 19 and the Vaccinations.
There is also a false narrative being propagated that virtually universal scientific consensus exists that the vaccines are safe and effective.
The truth is however there are legions of the highest qualified medical experts who stand in abhorrence at the relentless drive to vaccinate every human being on planet earth.
These experts warn that the MRNA vaccines are far from safe, yet such contrary voices are ruthlessly suppressed, heavily censored, and silenced.
Only 1 narrative has been allowed.
Will Fonterra pretend there is not a heavy skew on the official narrative and what passes as official science?
Will Fonterra run it’s risk assessment founded upon ‘Facts’ authored by the Government?
To do so brings the whole enterprise into question.
What would be the result if such a blinkered approach is adopted …measured in harm done to those who undergo the shots at Fonterra’s behest and those that don’t and are sacked?
Has Fonterra considered any alternative expert opinions other than the official line?
Is Jacinda Ardern and her minions Fonterra’s single source of truth?
29. Has Fonterra noticed how the official goalposts keep shifting?
Think about how dubious that is!
At any point in the near future the scientific assumptions upon which you are basing this proposal could crumble to dust, and in fact I argue they already have been exposed as fallacious.
I marvel that the company might be prepared to navigate where angels fear to tread with such sinking sands beneath their feet!
Can Fonterra executives appreciate just how imprudent it is to take your ‘science’ from political operators pushing an agenda that routinely buries all facts that are not conducive to them achieving their ends?
There are too many valid reasons to not trust the Governments vaccine agenda.
The Dystopian ‘1984’ aspects to all this are pulpable!
Millions of New Zealanders are wondering how their Free Land has been so swiftly taken away before their very eyes.
I personally do not want that secretive , improperly tested scientific experimental DNA altering junk injected into my body… no thanks!
There is way too much Censorship, peer pressure, and political shenanigan going on for me personally to trust these shots are safe.
Fonterra ought to think twice too!
30. New Zealand is facing a crisis that is much greater than Covid 19.
That Fonterra is even considering such a rash policy is evidence of this.
Normal protocols are being abandoned.
Through legislative sleight of hand our Ardern led parliament is fostering a fundamental form of bigotry and oppression against unvaccinated citizens to be carried out by New Zealand businesses, and it is shameful how thoughtlessly and quick many are moving to do so… doing Jacinda Ardern’s dirty work for her!
This proposal is especially incredulous given we have learned in the past two years that Covid 19 is nowhere near as dangerous as the fear mongers first imagined.
31. The world is waking up to the fact that the fearmongers have misled them.
All of their original models and predictions about countless million were going to die have been exposed as wild nonsense.
Much of the world is now abandoning all the so=called measures and seeking to get back to business as usual.
The Governor of Florida has passed special legislation forbidding Workplace Health and safety being used to justify Vaccine mandates.
During a special legislative session, Florida just passed a new law banning private employers from mandating COVID-19 vaccines unless several exemptions are offered to employees. The law, signed by the governor today, comes as OSHA’s national emergency temporary standard mandating vaccines is embroiled in legal challenges.
Thanks to Ardern We have lost our international reputation as an advanced and enlightened nation.
New Zealand is now being held up as an example of delusional authoritarianism.
The end of the Global panic is near.
One day soon…by the grace of God… New Zealand too will awaken from this hysteria and in that day the books will be opened to see who participated in the oppressive measures, which companies did not defend the values of freedom and equality upon which our nation was founded and which made life worth living in our country, and caused it to prosper, and what distinguishes our way of life from backward oppressive nations run by dictatorships.
In that day how will Fonterra fair when placed in the balance?
Will Fonterra be found to have been one of the companies that collaborated with the oppressive political powers of our day or be numbered among the righteous who help defend the targeted minority from oppression?
32. Individual rights cannot be sacrificed.
Many of us who are refusing the Jab are seeking to save our nation from marching into an oppressive Socialist prison camp where the individual is enslaved to the will of the Collective/ State using the false rationale that the rights of the individual must be sacrificed to the common good.
That is a lie, because for a society to be good, and just, the rights of the Individual are essential!
No society that sacrifices individual rights turns out better, stronger, healthier than those who maintain them.
It is only our Freedoms and Rights that ultimately distinguishes us as citizens of a free society, from subjects living under subjection.
If Jacinda Ardern is allowed to cherry pick which sections of the Bill of Rights her government will honor and which she may disregard, this renders the Bill of Rights as useless as Tits on a bull!
If we do not call her out for her legislative breaches that have already occurred, what is to prevent her from pushing more oppressive Bills into law?
For example What would prevent her from using the same excuses of the common good to over ride say section 21 of the Bill of Rights pertaining to Unreasonable search and seizure
Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure, whether of the person, property, or correspondence or otherwise. ???
Etc.
Ardern’s Covid 19 Tyranny has exposed the severe lack of constitutional safeguards that has allowed her to run roughshod over our lives and nation.
This hazard from dangerous ideologues like Ardern gaining control of our Parliament must be eliminated.
The Bill of Rights is supposed to be ‘The Rule of Law’ that prohibits parliament passing oppressive legislation that violates individual rights… limiting their power, and yet politicains like Ardern thrive on power and coercion.
Fonterra may not be at all disposed to taking on the Constitutional shortfall, but it is still imperative that you understand it, and do your best within the legal framework that now exists to navigate the company in as ethical manner as possible, taking every opportunity to avoid being manipulated into becoming a tool of our political class to impose their draconian will.
33. My positions are not radical.
The Right of every individual to choose for themselves whether or not to take such things as the vaccine has always been the norm here in New Zealand, and holding such opinions has always been recognised as a moderate, and conservative view… the New Zealand position on such matters.
And yet a subversive political narrative has crept in and managed to turn this on it’s head.
Now many people have been subtly reconditioned over the space of a few years to now argue that my insistence to be left free to decide for myself is now supposed to be dangerous and an extremist view!
The unfettered truth is the very opposite! It is the compulsion touters who have been radicalised.
They have accepted an extremist political doctrine that is at enmity with New Zealand’s traditional values!
34. Pandemics are not mysterious or new.
Those who penned both the Nuremberg code, and the New Zealand Bill of Rights were not ignorant of pandemics, and they purposefully and emphatically state we should not be coerced into any medical treatments against our will.
They did not say that we have a limited right to make our own medical decisions up only until the government decides it will impose it’s own decision upon us… for the public good!
We have the Absolute right to chose for ourselves.
These documents were written to expressly protect us from precisely that sort of Government over-reach!
We are a significant portion of the population who are currently being demonised, and falsely presented as being ‘a safety hazard’.
This has parallels with how the Holocaust started and how the Jews were treated early on in Nazi Germany.
This is being called ‘a medical apartheid’ by international commentators and many politicians who oppose this oppressive response to Covid 19.
Just look at how much devastation whole nations have suffered at the hands of inept politicians and parliaments!
It has been Political decisions … not the virus that has put us Billions of dollars of debt, the massive losses of production, business closures, job loses, suicides, and deaths from other non-covid related conditions… The legislative tyranny!
All these things prove the abject disaster that has resulted from draconian Covid 19 measures taken the world over by dim witted unprincipled Madmen (and woman)… drunk with power.
Surely the objective observer cannot help but reach the conclusion that the prescribed cures have been far far worse than the disease… and it has all taken place because of Fear and hysteria.
As the saying goes ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions.’
Undoubtable Fonterra means well with this proposal and yet ultimately such thinking is destroying the cherished principles of Freedom that made our nation to shine above so many others.
35. My appeal, my advice, and my warning to Fonterra is to seriously rethink everything!
Please honor the New Zealand Bill of Rights Section 11!
The Bill of Rights ought to be the unquestionable basis upon which Fonterra defends, and any implementations for their Covid 19 response ought to comply with it.
If in the process of honoring the rights of New Zealanders Fonterra finds itself at variance with the party political aspirations, Fonterra ought to stand firm.
Respect every employee’s freedom!
The Law still allows this.
I fully appreciate the difficulties the company faces.
I sincerely hope my plain speech has contributed to your important discussions.
It is also my sincere hope that I am allowed to continue to be of service to your Maintenance department at Te Rapa.
Should you be moved to reconsider your proposal… to make it more accommodating and humane, I and my family will be eternally grateful. I would strive to prove what a good management decision it was to allow people like myself to continue to be a part of Team Fonterra.
This is an outrage… This is Political oppression of those of us who do not bow down to our ‘Great leader’.
This is how Socialist Tyranny begins and is what happened in Venezuela to those who dared voice opposition to Chavez and Maduro.
Standard practice: Gun bans, and confiscations from critics of the Regime.
New Zealand is now headed down that road.
We can no longer be considered a free democratic Western Nation.
For the thought crime of speaking out against the Police State of Jacinda Ardern…..
Conservative Christian Pastor Carl Bromley has come under the Evil Eye several times over the past year.
He received visits from the NZ Police with regards to maintaining his religious right to hold small worship services in the face of a Covid Lockdown despite no cases of Covid being detected in the entire South Island.
This proved the lockdowns have little to do with medical science/ public health and everything to do with power and control… forcing mindless obedience and compliance… and breaking Christian resistance to tyranny.
Watch/Read a derogitory mainstream media post Newshub here….
It has been in response to such overt tyranny and rights violations that has alarmed many ordinary New Zealanders… how Draconian our nation has become under Comrade Ardern’s heavy hand.
Many are joining the growing peaceful protest movement against compulsory vaccinations, mask mandates, and lockdowns.
Some of the biggest demonstrations in the history of our nation have been going on in recent months all across the country and outside the Beehive, largely ignored by the compromised Mainstream media who are failing in their moral duty to keep NZ Citizens informed about real News that affects them. Whenever such protests are mentioned it is always in derogatory terms and purposeful falsehoods about the numbers of protesters in attendance.
All part of a concerted effort to Keep New Zealanders scared, Isolated, and in the dark about the scale of Democratic resistance to Ardern’s Globalist Tyranny.
The plan is to keep the sheeple thinking resistance is futile.
Carl Bromley is no sheep!
He is one such conservative New Zealander and Christian who has become alarmed at what has been going on under Ardern and has been actively doing his part to defend the Kiwi dream.
True to his Christian values and deep sense of community, He has been doing so in a completely peaceful manor motivated by high ideals and charity.
This is the sort of man he is… and yet the evil political powers of our day have an agenda they seek to Ram trough which is at sharp variance with New Zealand’s freedom loving, self reliant, and independent ways, and it is good people like Carl who stand in their way.
He and his ilk must therefore be stomped into submission and silenced.
Voice your disapproval of the Powers that be?… Lose your firearms license!
That’s how the system works now in NZ…esp if you are poor and cannot afford expensive lawyers.
By taking the side of freedom this peaceful Good man has found himself exposed to the hate and violence of Far left Radicals, and under the spotlight of a newly politicised Police State.
Peacefully fulfilling his moral duty as a concerned citizen and member of a Democratic society, Carl attends public rallies and protests.
These rallies are usually openly advertised… time and place on Social media sites… and this makes it possible for Radical Far Left Purple haired Gender confused supporters of Ardern’s tyranny to turn up and create trouble.
They have zero respect for Free speech and live to create chaos.
It was while attending such a rally that Carl was assaulted by a Far left Radical, and having also been slandered on-line Carl lodged a complaint with the Police.
They chose to ignore it.
Such is the state of our Nation… White Male Christian freedom advocates can be slandered and assaulted with Official impunity… esp when they have been flagged as being ‘Anti-government racist radicals’.
Like so many Vocal defenders of Kiwi Freedom and rights Carl has no doubt been put on the Police Shit list…(they have these now for political dissenters, bloggers, etc) while the real dangerous malicious radicals of the Far left operate openly… virtually with official sanction… as they share much in common with our Socialist PM.
Being flagged as a possible dangerous Extremist not only will make it harder for people like Carl to get the police to act on any complaints they make, it opens them up to being the target of Police intimidation and injustice.
This is happening now in New Zealand.
New Laws expose New Zealanders to heavy Police intrusions on the smallest of pretext.
Under such a climate all it takes to trigger a heavy handed response from the NZ Police is for some petty minded and malicious person who has a grudge against someone like Carl to make a false complaint.
And there is now a gang of Nasty Left wing Antifa types operating in New Zealand doing precisely this.
And they have been destroying peoples lives.
Please bear with me as I stitch together how what has happened to Carl fits into the big picture.
His is not an isolated case.
One high profile example of the activities of this malicious Far left Deplatform Gang’s was the sacking of Independent You Tuber and political commentator Lee Williams.
Lee, via his ‘Cross the Rubicon’ You Tube channel was very critical of Jacinda Ardern’s globalist politics, and was also locked into an online ideological war with several members of the Radical Far left Deplatform Gang.
Jealous of Lee Williams growing You tube following These nasty underhanded radicals used slanderous lies to blackmail Lee’s then Employers Synlait Dairy company with ‘Employing White Supremacist’s’. Synlait caved into this extortion and sacked Lee for the sake of avoiding damage to their companies reputation.
Lee is not a White Supremacist!
Lee in fact challenged systemic racism embedded in the New Zealand system in favour of racial quality before the law!
That was Lee’s crime… pointing out the corrupt racism inherent in our system.
Yet the Liars prevailed and Lee’s life was destroyed.
To escape the persecution he was facing Lee left New Zealand.
All this made the national news (except the truth about this being a Far left extremist extortion Con job).
Lee’s struggles were better covered by independent media sites like The BFD, and Blogs like ‘Eternal vigilance’, and others.
Lee got zero justice from the New Zealand Police for what he endured… The fraudulent slander and extortion that led to his unfair dismissal.
Why?
Because Lee in their book was flagged as a ‘troublemaker’ who does not deserve fair treatment.
So Like Carl’s complaint to the Police about being assaulted… Lee’s injustice also was not investigated.
The deplatforming gang faced zero legal consequences for their extortion racket, which will have only served to embolden them to continue.
Lee’s condemnation of Ardern’s Apartheid ambitions centered around her secreting of the He Pua Pua report that is a blueprint for handing over vast resources and powers to Maori Tribal Elites reached the halls of Power in particular Ardern’s Collaborators in the Maori Party.
These MPs joined in on the extortion of Synlait Dairy company, and persecution of Lee… some even calling for his residency to be revoked and for him to be deported.
All this because Lee spoke his personal political views on a small Youtube channel!
With this sort of persecution going on for anyone voicing dissenting opinions, you can easily imagine the dampening effect this has had on open political discourse in New Zealand.
You can be sure New Zealand Intelligence services opened up a Dossier on Williams and began collating who his associate were, etc, with a view of painting them as ‘Potential Domestic Terrorists’.
Picture: ‘Cross the Rubicon’ Youtuber Lee Williams.
It is public knowledge that Carl Bromely is a close friend of Lee Williams.
Carl is a man who stood up in defense of Lee when he was undergoing his ordeal.
This activity puts yet another X against his name in Police files.
Even if we put aside Carl’s own defiance regarding his right to worship, his mere association with Lee Williams is reason alone for us to suspect the New Zealand Police have a low opinion of Carl and care little about what injustices he suffers at the hands of Far Left extremists.
To the far Left, virtually everybody else on the political spectrum is considered ‘far right’.
From his bold defense of Lee Williams Carl will have drawn upon himself the malevolent attention of the Deplatforming Gang who destroyed his friends life.
You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to suspect that Carl Bromley is most likely the latest target of this well known Far Left Deplatforming Gang.
The police ought to have been aware of the high probability the complaint questioning Carl’s fitness to hold a firearms license was a malicious lie.
If this proves to be true it makes what the Police did to Carl Bromely not simply an act of gross incompetence… but a serious pre-meditated injustice.
Either the Police were easily fooled into committing violence against an innocent man, or they knew the complaint was fraudulent yet moved to take Carl’s gun anyway!
That’s blatant corruption!
Carl called the complaint ‘Bogus’ and we can be certain that it was Bogus because of Carl’s impeccable character.
Carl has Zero Police record, yet given how the Gun Laws work and Police powers and discretion, it is very difficult *for anyone* to srutinise whether or not the Police are acting upon accurate information because the whole process is cloaked in secrecy… so basically… unless you can raise a ton of cash for Lawyers etc… The Police can do whatever they please… and fabricate bogus arguments that arbitrarily call *anyone’s character or mental fitness* into question to quazi-justify their Draconian activities.
Where is the impartial oversight in how such cases are executed whereby abuses can be called out?
This must be investigated.
The veracity of the complaint that was used to raid Carls home must be scrutised.
At a minimum this raid shows that there is a lack of safeguards protecting citizens from suffering such an arbitrary home invasion by the police and confiscation of legitimately held firearms.
The Far Left Deplatforming gang must broken up, and face criminal charges.
These things must be done and yet the political corruption of our democracy is far more serious than the activities of a malicious gang of Far left Nut jobs.
The Police need to own up to their grievous error and return Carl’s lawful property.
They need to compensate him for the damages they caused and the torment they inflicted on his wife.
And most importantly they must expunge from his records any hint of wrongdoing that might stain his reputation in the future.
There is the serious matter of the attitude of the Police towards a Good Kiwi Citizen who had done nothing wrong, but simply expressed his vocal critisism of the government of the day.
I want you my reader to understand how the Ardern Regime has politisised the Police and turned them into an instrument for attacking the democratic rights of New Zealanders who want to see Ardern thrown out of office… via the democratic process… which includes the rights to free speech, to assemble, and to protest.
These are absolutely essential for the just functionality of a democratic system of governance whereby those in power only hold office by the ongoing consent of the governed.
What must be understood is that not only did Ardern shamelessly capitalise on the Christchurch Terror attack to confiscate New Zealand citizens guns, She also used this atrocity as a justification for weaponising the Police against her political opponents.
Notice how holding religious views, or political opinions outside the mainstream is viewed as Potential Terrorist traits.
And the assertion that our ‘Open internet’ makes us vulnerable to terrorist attacks!
Hmmmm so the government should take control of the internet… ‘to keep us safe from terrorism’… yeah right!
That way they could block Youtube channels Like Lee’s and Carl’s that critisise Ardern’s genius!
Yes! that will make New Zealand ‘Safer from terrorism’.
(I’m joking.)
Notice how the democratic right to protest has been lumped next to terrorism by the simple addition of the word ‘Violent’. So in the mindset of the Police, anyone who attends a protest could be a potential Terrorist.
Is that really a fair and just… or sane way for the Police to look at Citizens exercising their Democratic rights?
Is the likelihood of New Zealand suffering a serious Terrorist attack really ‘Medium’ or Low?
It serves Ardern’s Political purposes to say the likelihood of terrorist attack is “Medium, feasible, and could well occur” because this allows her to put the Police and army in a state of Active preparation.
“Get out there and find those Anti-government Far Right White supremacist religious Extremist Domestic terrorists!!!! Start by snooping about on You Tube! Anyone who does not like Jacinda Ardern is probably a terrorist!”
The government’s own counter terrorist web page states…
“Our strongest defence against terrorism is a cohesive, resilient society.”
With this in mind it must be pointed out that heavy handed Police raids etc *has the very opposite effect!*
Such draconian behaviour is not conducive to harmonious social order but fosters resentment and outrage… and rightly so!
If the Police wanted to promote a cohesive resilient society they would respect the rights of the people to hold their own views.
They should respect liberty and enforce the law fairly and without political prejudice.
And yet we see at so many points Arderns ‘Inclusive Society’ excludes anyone who disagrees with her personal Political ideology.
Ardern demands obedience and submission by all.
We are expected to allow her to do what ever she pleases without murmur.
That is not how a Free society functions.
That is how a Dictatorship functions.
By becoming heavy handed the Police themselves are creating civil unrest.
Wake up!
While I personally believe the threat of Terrorism is extremely low, given how belligerent Ardern has been towards the rights of the New Zealand people, and mobilising the Police against her detractors… the threat of Anti-Ardern Protests turning ugly is inevitably on the rise.
Ardern seeks to use the Police as a shield while she continues to radically alter our Nation with absolute contempt for due process and the safeguards that would normally prevent such Autocratic behavior.
She has seen the growing protests. She knows she no longer enjoys the support of the people.
This is why under Ardern protests are being viewed by Police as potential Terrorist activities.
Democracy is fundamentally about the peaceful transfer of power based upon the will of the people, yet socialist dictators once in power have a long history of subverting democracy for the sake of retaining power… at any price.
Peaceful, good natured, freedom loving Carl Bromley, as a religious person who holds strong resentment for what Comrade Ardern is doing tick’s a heck of a lot of her government’s ‘Counter-Terrorism ‘ Boxes’, and we can be sure that they wanted to take away his guns ( make no mistake… they would like to take away everyone’s guns!).
Getting a fake complaint was what they were waiting for… and all they needed to do precisely that.
This fixation on ‘Domestic terrorism’ is a psychological contagion that has poisoned the New Zealand Polices outlook towards the people they serve.
It has turned them into Ardern’s Goon Squad.
Keeping the people in line and under her subjection.
So the New Zealand Police have been diverted from busting burglars and rapists and turned into policing political opinions.
I fear the Police are being prepped for war against the citizens of our country.
The Political elites know their Covid Bullshit is hurting a lot of people and making them very pissed off.
They realise that growing Public outrage to what the Ardern regime is hell bent on doing is highly likely to escalate into serious civil unrest.
The mask of ‘Kindness’ has fallen.
As our Cold hearted Great Leader shows Iron resolve to push through her revolutionary agenda at any price, She has implemented a heavy handed strategy to keep the people in check.
This is what Anti-democratic tyranny looks like!
No Joke. I believe the Police are in full preparation to put down a popular uprising against the State.
All the signs are there to see.
This puts the Police in opposition to the will of the people, propping up the unpopular dictatorial power.
This Police State makes the democratic peaceful transfer of power impossible and creates the conditions for serious civil unrest.
What Globalist influences have been at work indoctrinating our Police to prevent the New Zealand people defending our National Autonomy?
Have they been warned about the coming Global economic collapse?
Have they been warned about the Great Reset and move towards a Global cashless society?
It is only these sorts of scenario that makes what they have been doing lately explicable.
All their activities are flagrant attempts to forcefully suppress voices of opposition to Ardern’s Rule.
This same scenario is being played out in democracies all across the globe. Many nations have their own ‘Globalist Ideologues’ at the helm whose actions clearly demonstrate their loyalty is to the New World Order, not their own peoples independence. And people in these nations can see they are being taken for a ride to a destination they don’t want to be.
We have just seen peaceful Anti Vax Mandates/ Anti-lockdown protests in the Netherlands explode into all out riots.
Even though All Protests in New Zealand have been absolutely peaceful, it would be foolish for us not to appreciate that the New Zealand government is watching such overseas events with trepidation and that as such are unjustly transferring their fears that similar things could happen here. The Globalists seeking to subjugate the planet have also calculated how to prevent popular uprisings from thwarting their ultimate goals, and it is with this in mind that their minions in every Nation have been politicising and conditioning the Police and military to be prepared to use their arms against their own Citizens… as enemies of the State.
History is irrefutable that this is how Socialist Systems operate and maintain themselves… by keeping the people down. Under Jacinda Ardern our Nation is sinking fast!
We have now reached a point where to protest against what she is doing is to risk being labeled a danger to the State and losing your firearms license!
Only subservient supporters of the Regime get to enjoy such privilege!
Where does the loyalty of the average Policeman stand?
Any Police reading this need to ask themselves this important moral question.
Is it the duty and purpose of the Police to stand With the People and defend their rights… or do they consider it their job to be the Mindless enforcers of the Party Politicians who have managed to get hold of the levers of Power?
If Americans ever wondered what it would be like if Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was running the USA they need look no further than how Jacinda Ardern has behaved while she has been at the helm in New Zealand.
Like AOC Ardern is a far Left Extremist. Like AOC Ardern has zero grip on the real world, or the catastrophe far left political ideology represents.
Ardern clearly shows she is prepared to lie, deceive, bankrupt our nation, and create a police state to impose her globalist delusions upon the people of New Zealand.
She has been the Perfect Storm.
Take a look at what happened in Venezuela when the shit hit the fan and the tyrannical Socialist government bankrupted the Nation and started killing it’s own citizens who dared protest.
Today Venezuela is in ruins and its people are starving… where would you stand if you were a member of the Police in such a crisis?
Where ought your loyalties lie?
It could very well be that with the ever increasing stranglehold this government places on the throats of the New Zealand public, that unless peaceful protests prevail in reversing our nations freefall into Totalitarianism… The struggle could turn very ugly… Peaceful means having failed it could come to civil war… The People vs the Corrupt State.
Unless they are prepared to disobey unjust orders, The New Zealand Police could quickly become like so many Jackbooted thugs in Communist Nations used to crush, Murder, and imprison Good brave Citizens who have been compelled to turn to Force to oust the tyrants who have sort to destroy and oppress their Nations.
In such cases the Criminals are the ones in power.
Far be it from me to ever advocate for such a situation!
Though the right of revolution to overthrow tyrannical government is a fundamental right of the people, it is for me too terrible to be contemplated.
If attempted it would also be highly likely to fail, and result in greater atrocities and injustices.
Unless the Military and the Police were on the side of the people.
We should watch what happens now in the Netherlands very carefully.
Will the Netherlands government capitulate in the face of such Violent protests or will they double down on their tyranny?
What will happen is depended upon how far the Socialist globalists in power there are prepared to go to retain their grip on power.
I believe the greatest hope Freedom advocates everywhere have of winning Freedom back is to shun all acts of Violence, Vandalism, Rioting, and destruction, and instead maintain our peaceful stand… even in the face of such injustices as have been dished out to Carl Bromely.
We should rally around such people.
We must protest against what was done, and yet we ought to remain civil at all times… This makes it very difficult for the tyrants to deploy the Jackboots against us with Full fury… because More people see what they are doing… see how unjust the régime is… and their ability to govern evaporates.
With the passing of time more and more people join the ranks of Resistance.
Despite such atrocities as Tiananmen Square in 1989
Peaceful resistance can break the resolve of all but the most brutal of tyrannies.
History proves that Peaceful people movements can defeat vastly stronger Political interests.
Two noteworthy examples are the Peaceful protest movements of Mahatma Ghandi and Martin Luther King Junior.
The essential thing is for the People to stand in protest *before* such Absolute tyranny gains a strong grasp.
Given that the New Zealand people have zero stomach for Bloody Revolution and little means by which such measures might be achieved, Peaceful resistance offers the best prospects of success by far.
So I assert that Peaceful resistance is not only the Higher moral path, but also is the most pragmatic reason for hope that we shall prevail in keeping our Nation Independent and Free from the Globalist Tyranny.
But to achieve this we must Bravely stand together!
We cannot allow such things as happened to Our Boy Carl Bromley to go unchallenged, without voicing strong displeasure and a demand for justice.
The Police need to be censured and know New Zealanders will not respect them unless they respect our rights!
What happened to Carl ought to stimulate us to stand even more resolved for our Free Nation!
We cannot allow such vile police State antics to become the norm.
Nor should we tolerate the Police’s Anti-private Firearm ownership attitude.
This in itself shows the Police have become arrogant and forget their place… that is as our servants.
Citizens have strong gun Rights… Slaves do not.
The Freedom movement must also be on the watch for Subversive ‘Wolves in sheeps clothing’ entering in among us seeking to corrupt our movement from within.
Beware any so-called freedom activists who start to promote Hatred, violence, or Riotous behavior.
It is only by walking the righteous path that we can avoid being legitimately labeled a danger to civil order.
Any Civil disobedience must be 100% peaceful. The evil powers that be would love to see the freedom movement collapse into Mayhem, for that would be their opportunity to send in the jackboots.
As long as we adhere to Peaceful Protest we have the upper hand and occupy the Moral high ground.
Peacefully Protest. Peacefully Resist. Peacefully refuse to Comply.
I speak with certainty that Carl Bromley will whole heartedly agree with those sentiments.
I will also say We must never surrender our rights. We will not show our papers. We will not accept a cashless system. We will not surrender our National independence to any Global overlords.
Carl Bromley is a man of Peace, Freedom, and Justice.

Watch (below) what Carl had to say only a few weeks ago… and what probably triggered some Radical leftist or some Ardern Minion in Government to target him and conspire to get the New Zealand Police to oppress him.
As I only found out about this Bill a few days ago, and leaned that the Public’s right to make submissions was also closing by midnight tonight, I made my own submission in haste, and for that reason it is not my best work by a long shot… and yet given how the Diabolical Engine of Comrade Ardern Steams forward, I simply had to submit something.
I have made a couple of spelling fixes to what I submitted… etc.
Some people might think my submission is whack.
I certainly know some of my ‘recommendations’ will be open to challenge in the sense that it might be a struggle for me to be able to justify them completely via Libertarian principles, and I am happy to discuss any criticisms on that basis… I simply have not had time to chew on these matters to the degree that I can offer a fully cogent argument. I was running on intuition that I will be able to defend most of what I have said.
I also decided I needed to be fully open about my religious views about what is at stake.
I realise many readers will take these views to completely discredit me as a serious thinker… you are entitled to your own opinion in that regard… yet I stand unapologetically by what I have said.
Ok… that’s enough of an intro….
Digital Identity Services Trust Framework Bill. Submission by Tim Wikiriwhi, Christian Libertarian.
My/our comments…
“The more corrupt the State, the more it legislates….”
Tacitus. Roman Historian. 1st century AD.
New Zealanders currently have no shortage of ways and means to identify ourselves.
New Zealanders have been able to conduct plenty of business globally, and securely via the internet so we must ask… why all of a sudden does this government feel the need to pass this legislation?
Please spare me the trite about this being a genuine need and request by the people for such legislation.
The desire is not coming from the people… but from ideologues in power … with a nefarious agenda they are not prepared to openly admit.
This is about a grand scheme… a globalist centralisation of power and legimisation of the Global ID system into New Zealand Law.
Step by incremental step.
This ID system is the foundation for that planned Global Government, a Social credit system that discriminates every individual persons ‘privilege’s’ dependent on their compliance with the powers that be, and a new Global monetary system whereby all transactions are sanctioned, and monitored by the Evil Eye.
This is happening because our current financial systems have been driven into the ground, and yet the super wealthy, and powerful see this as an opportunity to further entrench their own Domination over the masses.
This Digital ID system is the basis for a planned New World order without privacy.
Absolute Power.
All these things require a Global digital Id be allocated to every human being.
Since Jacinda Ardern has become Prime minister of New Zealand our Rights and Liberties have been severely degraded by relentless and systematic legislative assault. Our nation has been intentionally consciously driven head long into financial ruin.
None of this was fated.. or unavoidable… because of unfortunate circumstances.
All of it has been deliberate… calculated. And History will condemn what has been done!
Generations will pay the price for this Gross and intentional mismanagement… (because this ruin will lead to the great Reset)!
Every MP who has aided Ardern in these infamous achievements must take their share of culpability.
So much of her legislative legacy has been enacted in blatantly anti-democratic fashion… under the guise of ‘Emergencies’.
For example Jacinda Ardern expounded her socialist doctrine that ‘Gun ownership is not a right… but a privilege’ … and yet her succeeding legislative measures and dictates show us Ardern does not believe we the people have any rights at all that are beyond her power to over rule!
For example the New Zealand Bill of rights section 11 which state no New Zealander can be compelled to take medical treatments against their will… evidently this too Ardern sees not really as a right… but yet just another ‘privilege’ government temporarily entertained.. but now revokes… despite having publicly stated she would never do such a thing!
If a New Zealander does not own their own body… We have no rights!
Ardern is a Socialist Tyrant and is molding our country to more resemble North Korea, and China every day!
Our Parliament is filled with spineless, clueless, morally bankrupt weasels who allow Arden to enact her radical Socialist Globalist ambitions that are not shared by anywhere near a majority of Kiwis!
Most Kiwis want their old country back!
This ‘new normal’ Sux!
It is a travesty to pretend anything less than an undemocratic Revolution is underway being legislated by stealth… and this Digital Identity Services Trust Framework Bill is undoubtedly another step in this direction.
It is Undemocratic in it’s enactment because of the lack of time given for public submissions.
It is Undemocratic because of the lack of public notification that this legislation is even eminent!
I guarantee that if a poll was taken that only a tiny percentage definitely in the single digits are even aware of what you Sneaky devils are up to!
And this is intentional on your part… you want to quietly enact this legislation… without the public catching on to what you are doing… because then you would face the anger of the people!
This legislation is part of *A Global framework* for a Global system… a New World Order!
This will underpin a new cashless Global financial system that is planned under the title ‘The Great Reset’.
And this makes what you are doing treasonous to the Nation of New Zealand and our National Independence and our Democratic Sovereignty.
Little New Zealand is well on the way to being swallowed up by the Globalist system.
New Zealanders would never voluntarily surrender these things and you all know it!
That is why you are today quietly… sneakily enacting this Bill… and we know it will become law… despite how the balance of public submissions fall… as these processes have become a travesty… merely feigning ‘due process’.
This shystery is not just happening here in New Zealand but is being simultaneously being set up in all nations by globalist minions whom expect to enjoy privileged positions in the NWO.
It will not win me many friends to say the following… That matters not… what matters is that I boldly declarer the Truth… and that is that the Bible forewarned the world this New world order… this Satanic Tyranny would one day arrive … it calls this the system of the Beast.
Sinners be warned!
God will judge every servant of Satan who participated in the system of the Antichrist!
And yet God has mercy and salvation for whomsoever puts their trust in the cross of Christ and his resurrection.
“God commendeth his love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”
Romans 5vs 8. KJV
My/our recommendations
I make the following recommendations… that will be ignored because you don’t care about the rights and Freedom of New Zealanders … or our independent National sovereignty… still… I ask that you make no laws that shall erode our right to use Cash, or to make private non-electronic transactions.
I ask that you make no laws that make having digital Ids compulsory.
I ask you expressly prohibit New Zealanders from being allocated any digital ID without their consent and make it illegal for any private companies operating in New Zealand to make subscribing to a global digital ID system as a mandatory condition for any business transaction.
I ask you absolutely prohibit any Global initiative to remove cash as a means of transactions.
I ask you make it absolutely illegal for Banks to freeze accounts on the basis that Citizens refuse to switch over to a cashless system, and make it law that all banks must continue to honor cash withdrawals, All businesses must accept cash, and all businesses and individuals must pay their employees in cash should they so desire it.
I ask that it be stipulated in law that no NZ Government agency can demand of any New Zealand citizen that they must accept and use a Digital ID to enjoy any of their rights, or to have full access to government services.
I stipulate these things to safeguard New Zealanders rights from being compelled into subjection to any globalist scheme designed to entrap individuals and prevent them from being able to participate in New Zealand society, to provide for themselves, to run businesses, to work, buy, and sell, unless they submit to the Global ID system and cashless society.
Failure to do these things will evidence the true intention of this Bill… to take away New Zealanders privacy and autonomy, and to ensnare us all in the New World order for which none of us have voted for.
Finally I state that it is without shame I make my submission as a Christian Libertarian.
I know that the spirit of Antichrist is at work in the hearts and minds of many in power today… esp Jacinda Ardern… and that these evil people see Christianity as an enemy of everything they seek to achieve… and they are right!
No Christian can support their Evil New World Order.
No Christian can believe their false Socialist gospel!
And yet Christians like myself preach peaceful non-compliance and Resistance to tyranny.
It is a great political lie that is being propagated in the corrupt mainstream media that those of us who refuse to support compulsory Covid 19 vaccinations, refuse to support the lockdowns, reject the ‘new normal’, and all the other curtailments of our rights that we represent ‘a dangerous element’… or harbour ‘domestic terrorists’ in our midst, etc.
This misinformation is being sown to condition the Police and Army into perceiving our legitimate democratic group as being malicious and of criminal intent, setting up the political climate for our systematic oppression… Satan Laughing spreads his wings!
Let anyone with an ear to hear… let them realise the things I am saying are the truth!
As a Christian, I will preach for New Zealanders to peacefully stand up for their rights so that their children may enjoy the Same freedoms we once had… yet that are being stolen from us by Dangerous Radical Socialists.
WE can defeat them… by peaceful, principled people power!
Yet We must stand up now!
These are our legitimate democratic rights!
We have the moral duty to resist tyranny!
We cannot allow our free nation to be stollen from us. We must preserve it for our children and future generations of Kiwis.

Some people may live this way… yet I don’t agree with it.
It is a Machiavellian tenet that say’s because other people are prone to breaking promises, that this absolves you from keeping yours.
The question is what sort of person do you wish to be?
I believe we should keep our word even to people who are not trustworthy… So we should watch what we agree to do and with whom.
This is because the sort of person we chose to be, and how we conduct ourselves ought not to be dependent on the character and conduct of others… but on our own integrity… we ought to walk the higher path even when most others are taking the lower road.
This way we remain masters of ourselves… consciously and purposefully acting according to our values… not living sympathetically in reaction to the rest of the world… and it’s lack of values.
In this way when you look in the mirror you will see a good man staring back at you… a champion of what is right.
Not living like a victim excusing yourself for being a person of Bad faith.
.. and your reputation as a Solid Guy (or Gal) … a person of integrity will precede you… and doors will open for you because of your own conduct…
This is the Old School virtue that ‘a mans word is his bond’
Thus it ought to be only in extreme circumstances that we should ever even consider breaking an agreement or betraying trust might possibly be an acceptable proposition, and the righteous path.
The Bible warns against making ‘oaths to God’ because most of us being pathetically weak mortals who have so little command of our own passions let alone any control of exterior happenstances we will too often break our vows.
Better not to have sworn to anything in the first place!
Knowing our own weaknesses therefore also ought to make us wary of making promises to people when there is any likelihood we may not be able to honor them.
Take care what you commit yourself to undertake and be sure to make any conditional caveats understood before any deal is shaken upon.
