Learning Freedom from Rage…

The reason this is true, is because You suffered these things when you were a helpless child, and so as you have become stronger you have sworn never to allow anyone to do these things to you again… and when it appears someone is trying to do that to you… the reaction is anger.
Yet most often it is a mistake on our part. They are *not* seeking to reduce you… They are not your oppressor… We need to learn how to deal with such feelings and redirect them away from rage…. when you understand this… it’s liberating… from a curse that has haunted and enslaved you from your youth…

Bad Heart, Bad Soul. Is Easter still relevant in 2023?

11am 7-4-23 In the process of Editing.


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: Things get done because of agitators and advocates… (and the Woke Left work harder than we Freedom advocates do) Stuff Article.

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….”

Bill of Rights for Internet Users: Donald Trump, Champion of Free Speech.


Picture credit. here.

This is a very contentious issue for Libertarians yet I believe it can be justified to prevent massive deception and corruption of Democratic processes. Basically it is to keep the Internet Giants honest.
There is something diabolically wrong with the ‘Terms and conditions’ imposed upon users of Computers and the internet, as I am no expert on this subject I am not sure what can be done about it that is consistent with Libertarian Ideals… this is a discussion I would like to open to hear other peoples opinions….
Right now I am at a loss to what the solution is. Trumps Idea has a heck of a lot of appeal.
There is no doubt it is a matter of urgency to put an end to the Machinations of Big Tech Socialists.
They are literally seeking World Domination and the Technological subjugation of the entire human race.
I intuitively believe there will be either a sound consistent argument that vindicates this curtailment of Internet Giant caprice… some legislative means by which discrimination is outlawed and gross power of the TechLords is reined in.
The main reasons Donald Trump is reviled, and censored is because he is an outspoken defender of Freedom, National Independence, and Free Speech against Globalist aims for their New World Order.

USDA Banning Canning Lids. Off Grid Living. Little House Off Grid.


Screenshot: Little House Off Grid.

This is a youtube channel I have only just discovered. These people look like they have been the target of the system for a long time… over a whole raft of issues.
My first impressions are this guy appears to be a genuine advocate of self-reliance and independent living.
I look forward to checking out more of their videos.

This video title caught my eye as it is yet another example of the relentless creeping usurpations that are establishing the Totalitarian State.

Here we have a video (above) that shows the malicious intent of Globalists to make it impossible to exist outside their systems of control.

This is why they want to get rid of Cash.

We can expect these sorts of laws to proliferate… across the board.. and in all so-called Free Nations….including here in New Zealand, for our Christian founded Capitalist societies are the main targets for overthrow by subversion… rotting them from the inside outwards.

This Blog is my soapbox.
You have been warned!

This video tells us the US Department of Agriculture has actually Banned ‘Canning lids’!!!!… for us Kiwi we call ‘Canning Jar Lids’ Preserving Jar lids.

Preserving food is one of the most essential aspects of being able to minimise dependence and survive ‘off-grid’.
By off Grid I mean *outside dependence on the system*.

Like the ‘Anti-vaxxers’… The Prepper Community have been the targets of relentless dis-information and slander as ‘crack pots’ for many years…. for the very same reasons…. They seek to promote independence from State Control.
The Puppet masters us ‘influencers’ to make certain ways of thinking appear ‘whack’ and ‘extreme’… targets to be mocked and ridiculed on social media and once this Group think has been established the Sheeple will have been effectively inoculated against embracing such ‘independent activities’ and will also countenance Legal jackboots being deployed against the renegades who defy the group think.

So take care what ‘Social trends’ you help cultivate on social media… first they alienate the group with mockery and slander… then when the sheeple show they have outcast the target group… then they can institute the Legal suppression and persecution.

The Preppers are such a community.
They have been right all along… yet the Globalists want you to consider them dangerous nut jobs and to sanction laws that make living off grid impossible/illegal.

DON”T SUPPORT ANY POLITICAL ATTACKS TO YOUR RIGHTS TO CHOSE TO LIVE OFF GRID!

And I advise you to take some off watching Idiots on Tick Tock and instead learn some Freedom wisdom from the Preppers!
Learn to produce and preserve your own food.
Get yourself a pantry filled with your own preserves.

The Globalists are the enemies of Freedom and Independence. They seek total control over all humanity.
They are Evil.
The philosophy of Self reliance stands in their way.
Canning/ Preserving food , collecting rainwater, and Fire stoves empower independence and break their grip … that is why they condition the sheeple to revile independence, and pass these tyrannical laws…. all talk of ‘improving safety… ‘saving the planet’… are lies only idiots swallow.
The Sheeple don’t care about this creeping tyranny because they don’t can… they don’t have a fireplace… and they can ‘virtue signal’ by joining in the persecution of the ‘whacky non-conformists’.

General Christian Blanchon’s Tribute in Honour of the Unvaccinated.

Shared to me via E mail today….

General Christian Blanchon

French General Christian Blanchon published a message in the French press to “pay tribute” to the unvaccinated for their extraordinary achievement, withstanding the immense – even inhuman – pressure from all quarters.

His “vote of honor” has now been translated worldwide and shared in large numbers, as it gives all the people who were defamed, marginalized and attacked during the Corona period the “recognition they deserve.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

… but they persevered.

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

… nevertheless they remained steadfast.

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

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

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

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

– Gen. Christian Blanchon (08.09.2022)

***********************

When this French General talks of ‘The Resistance Fighters’, he is of course drawing a parallel with the Heroic French Resistance who operated during the Nazi Occupation of France in WW2.
They are to be juxtaposed to ‘The Collaborators’…. those who did not merely submit to Nazi Rule… but who actually aided and abetted their Tyranny…
It is such times that try men’s souls…. prove mettle… the cut of one’s cloth….
It was the Resistance that carried and maintained the honour of France in that crisis.

How Satanic is the lie that those of us who Resisted the Tyranny and Propaganda, and Social stigma are the ones accused of being ‘Far Right Extremists’!!!!
You can Spot the real Nazis… they are the ones wearing the State Jackboots!
They are the ones who demand we all OBEY.

My Friends…. teach your children ‘Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God Almighty’. Benjamin Franklin.

Our greatest strength is in our courage to stand defiant… Peaceful Non-compliance and resolve.

Give me Liberty… or Death!

Massad Ayoob: “The Bad Ass Of Self-defense.” + Commentary on Civil Unrest and the Great Reset.

Please share this post.

“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).

Massad Ayoob’s opinion about the Kyle Rittenhouse trial – Critical Mas episode 22

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.

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.

Read: TIM WIKIRIWHI. THE RIGHT TO SELF DEFENSE: MY (UNDELIVERED) ORAL SUBMISSION TO THE NEW ZEALAND COMMITTEE OF THE ARMS (PROHIBITED FIREARMS, MAGAZINES, AND PARTS) AMENDMENT BILL APRIL 2019

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.

Eternal Vigilance: Battle for Parliament erupts as police storm Wellington’s anti-mandate occupation

Watch this shameless Propaganda from the NZ Mainstream media (below)…. and a grandstanding Police Commissioner eager to project an image of a Man of Action and integrity…
In reality this was an act of Bad faith and an abuse of power… in harmony with Draconian events in Canada.
Ardern and Trudeau are both traitors to their own Nations and devotees to Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum Great Reset Socialist New World Order.
This shows you what total disregard these Globalists have for democratic process, and the sort of societies our children will suffer if we do not resist!

This protest was a legitimate Democratic response to Ardern’s Leftist radicalism that took advantage of the Covid 19 pandemic to Grow State power at the expense of Citizens rights in particular Vaccine Mandates, Lockdowns, and ‘Vaccine Passports’.
Thousands of businesses and Jobs have been lost!
Ardern has been a Train wreak for our Nation!
And you wonder why people are protesting?

Ardern’s thugs provoked a tranquil atmosphere into Chaos… exactly what Ardern hoped for… she wanted this peaceful protest to end badly.
I despair that the protesters allowed themselves to lose their composure in the face of this State thuggery… and yet Self defense is the natural reaction… they could have done things much better… in the spirit of Martin Luther King… maintaining Passive resistance even in the face of being arrested and taken away.
I admit my words in that regard are Cheap as I was not there trying to hold the line… for that I am sorry.

There has been talk on line that the fires were actually lighten by Antifa subversives… not Anti-mandate protesters.

Compare this skewed and slanderous report by the mainstream media with how things really were down there….
Read this excellent report that contradicts everything the Police commissioner claims… Freedom Village, Wellington, 25 February 2022

This was a Jackbooted Political action against a legitimate peaceful Democratic protest.

All talk to the contrary is dishonest propaganda designed to slander the protesters to de-legitimise their righteous peaceful stand.
This Police Narrative has been exposed as lies… watch/listen below…

Shame on the New Zealand Police for caving into political pressure from the Ardern Regime.
Congratulations! You have trampled peaceful activism under your boots… next you will complain when having learned from your recourse to violence, protesters come better prepared to voice their protests against a Police State.
You Escalated the problems… You did that!
I personally only advocate for peaceful resistance… yet you have weakened our voice and given opportunity for less principled agitators to gain ascendency… you did that.
You have debased and disgraced yourselves in the process no surprises there… if only you had maintained the peace as you indicated you would!
Instead you showed your forked tongue … seeking to execute a Dawn raid on Non-violent innocent people who have already suffered oppression at the hands of Ardern. That is why they were there in the first place! You are supposed to work for the people… not Political Parties and agendas. This is supposed to be a Democracy in which we have the right to protest… and the right to critisise the Government. You are supposed to protect our rights!
Shame on you.

The people of New Zealand never voted for Arderns Tyranical measures.
In fact she lied! She said Vaccines would never be imposed upon New Zealand citizens against their Will and rights!

Anti-mandate protesters march across Auckland Harbour Bridge causing traffic chaos | Newshub

Protests by their nature *Do not require the permission of the Police* who are notoriously aligned with the very Political Party which is in power.
This is legitimate peaceful democratic civil disobedience.
Protester must however appreciate they risk violence and arrest from police who are historically… notoriously oblivious to their duty to the People and their rights rather than the corrupt governments they serve. This is how the Police all too often become the servants of Tyranny… so few have the integrity to refuse to follow unjust laws and orders.
And the Vaccine Mandates were unlawful!
