NZ unemployment highest it’s been in 9 years

A quick look at unemployment in NZ. It’s risen to 5.3% with 160K unemployed. I’m old enough to remember pre-Rogernomics when there was next to no unemployment. Jobs aplenty. Of course they would have us believe that from Rogernomics onwards (4.06 min) everybody just got lazy (the unemployed are typically demonized because it’s commonly assumed that none of them ‘want to work’). No mention of the plebs at the top selling off the family silver … whittling away our sovereignty. All very necessary for the (not) great reset. Owning nothing and being happy.

“We are at present working discreetly, with all our might, to wrest this mysterious force called sovereignty out of the clutches of the local nation states of the world. And all the time we are denying with our lips what we are doing with our hands.”                                                       
Arnold Toynbee – International Affairs, p.809, November 1931

Meanwhile Luxon and friends (more than 20 MPs) are renting back their own homes at the taxpayer’s expense (some of whom are working two and more jobs to feed their families). Luxon and one other have also purchased offices which they lease back to Parliament for use as an electorate base. Nice. A tax-payer funded accommodation allowance of up to $45K pa and salaries of $3-500K are not enough to survive on perhaps? Let ‘them’ eat cake is it?

Travelling about Enzed of late I’ve had convos with various folk on the state of affairs here. Anecdotal yes, but indicative of what’s happening out there. A rural supermarket checkout cashier told me that as folk leave they’re not being replaced (in commenting on the self serve option which I also noticed is everywhere, Warehouse included). Perhaps, like the pollies, the supermarkets aren’t managing to maximise their profits either? They are doing better than their US counterparts though … apparently.

Another supermarket worker (same supermarket) told me they’d sold up in Auckland and have a freehold rural house now. Driving to and from work in Auckland was too stressful. Now no stress.

Then, a convo with a man at a WOF station … he said the same as the first supermarket woman. Staff are not being replaced as they leave. The day I was there they were two down in staff. ‘Two down’ is not uncommon to hear these days. I’ve heard this from auto repair garages, and the spectacles service I use. “We’re sorry” they say, apologetically, “we’re short staffed at the moment…” Of course folk are away sick aren’t they? Or had you not noticed?

I recently had my first up close observations of the ‘safe & effective’ fallout. One young man in his 30s coerced to drink the Kool Aid was suffering in ICU from Myocarditis, Pneumonia, breathlessness, pain, you name it. Horrific. They also told him regularly that he was dying, until his family asked them to desist. I suppose they don’t teach the white coats about the power of words at Med School? I expect by now that they can confidently tell people they’re going to die having observed for 5 years the slim chances of surviving the ‘safe and effective’?

Then there is the 74 year old I know who has Parkinsons, a formerly fit and healthy guy … who is healthy no more. Consigned now to a care home. There are even more I know of in my smallish circle, but from afar.

So really it’s no surprise is it that businesses are down in staff numbers?

But not to worry, we have AI now remember? Such fortunate timing isn’t it?! No wonder they’re not replacing staff!

“It Is Destined To Happen This Way” [ EXPOSED BY INSIDER ]

I wonder how many of the unemployed are ‘safe and effective’ injured? (Two years back Luxon was insisting cancer patients could work 10 hrs a week).

Buta never mind, they’ll be rolling out robots next. And you folk will be twiddling your thumbs in those tight knit 10 minute (not) smart cities they’re preparing for you. Speaking of, I notice they are springing up like mushrooms on warm humid days. In tiny communities too! Whole blocks of thirty and more houses. Security cams everywhere I’m told.

Meanwhile folk are being laid off world wide and the long talked about monetary crash inches forward day by day.

Major Alert: New Zealand Government is Enshrining ‘Medical Mandates’ in Law

From Hatchard Report

There is a revolution in progress, and it is not a bloodless revolution.

The Gene Technology Bill introduced to Parliament this week includes the following provisions:—

  • Mandatory medical activity authorisations: for a human medicine that is or contains gene technology that has been approved by at least two recognised overseas gene technology regulators.
  • Emergency authorisations: when there is an actual or imminent threat to the health and safety of people or to the environment, for example, threat from a disease outbreak, or an industrial spillage. The Minister responsible for the Gene Technology Act (the Minister) will have the power to grant an emergency authorisation.

This article is also available as a PDF to download, print, and share and as an audio version.

These clauses bypass the medical choice provisions of the New Zealand Bill of Rights. 

They violate the conclusions of Phase 1 of the Royal Commission on the pandemic which found that vaccine mandates hurt people and the economy.

They pre-empt the findings of Phase Two of the Royal Commission which has yet to examine the safety of COVID-19 vaccines produced via gene editing.

It empowers the Minister to make health decisions affecting all Kiwis on the say-so of foreign gene regulators of his choice.

The Bill is being passed under Fast Track legislation designed to prevent public discussion of its controversial provisions and adequate understanding of its impact by MPs. There is no time sensitive need for this.

The Bill ignores the experience and lessons of the last five years of the pandemic which has been a gene technology disaster responsible for 30 million deaths worldwide. Its logic is therefore incomprehensible even to well-informed observers, but it appears to find echoes in a dark history:

“The sun shines” wrote Christopher Isherwood in his 1930s Berlin Stories “and Hitler is the master of this city. The sun shines, and dozens of my friends are in prison, possibly dead.” As are too many of my friends recently, young and old alike.

Following the 1933 Nazi acquisition of power, Germany underwent a rapid and sweeping revolution that reached deep into the fabric of daily life. At the beginning, it occurred quietly and out of sight of most of the population. At its core was ‘enabling’ legislation that empowered the government and its appointees (read: regulators) to take far reaching decisions on behalf of the whole population. Its core aim was Gleichschaltung—coordination—designed to bring citizens, government ministries, universities, cultural and social institutions inline with Hitler’s extreme beliefs and attitudes.

Today we are facing efforts aimed at global coordination of technology, including biotechnology, food tech and information technology. The New Zealand government appears very willing to play a leading role in this revolution, whatever the implications. We have reported on these previously at length (hereherehere and here). 

In addition to the prospect of government reimposition of medical mandates, the Bill does not require labelling of gene altered foods. As this flies in the face of all the canons of food safety and traceability established over the last 100 years, the only possible motivations are either a desire to deny consumers any right to preferences, or a wish to avoid any safety monitoring or culpability. Not only will we be unable to exercise medical autonomy, but we will no longer know what we are eating. This is an extraordinary and frightening prospect and not just for those who struggle with allergies. Food choice is not the prerogative of the government or bioscientists no matter how sure of themselves.

Something absolutely fundamental and personal is being taken away from us

This Bill is being promoted and steered by Judith Collins, with the full support and encouragement of the Prime Minister Chris Luxon and the leader of the ACT Party David Seymour. Collins is a lawyer and long time Parliamentarian, she will fully understand the import of the Bill. As a previous leader of the National Party who lost an election, it is hard to escape the suggestion that Collins may be taking satisfaction from the imposition of her will on those who rejected her leadership. We have all heard stories of waiters who piss in the awkward customer’s beer and laugh behind their backs. I am sorry to draw such a gross comparison, but my sense of outrage demands it.

The Gene Technology Bill seeks to institute a revolution, it spits in the face of the public who suffered during the pandemic and who voted in a new government with the thought that things might change. Instead we appear to have more of the same or worse. The refusal of Health New Zealand to publish up to date health statistics such as those for cancer incidence, speaks volumes about a government determined to avoid any accountability, even at the expense of public health. For the record, US insurance data reveals that cancer incidence has had a steady and unremitting upward trajectory since the introduction of COVID-19 vaccines. Ignored by our government and worse: covered up.

There is a time for everything and a season for every purpose under Heaven. A time to be born and a time to die, Now is the time to lobby your MP and let them know exactly what you think. Time to make our voice heard.

Please write to your MP before the summer break brings consideration to a close and put a note in your diary to follow up afterwards. This fight is winnable.

More on David Seymour’s links to the Atlas Network – from ‘conspiracy’ to fact ?

“Whether we’re fighting for Te Tiriti or against new coal mines, for tax reform and fair pay, to protect Te Taiao or even just to keep NZ’s stop-smoking programme on track – we all face the same well-funded and well-organised ideological opposition”.

Further to our previous article revealing David Seymour’s links to the Atlas Network, I came across this one recently at Substack by Torfrida Orme (posted at Tapatahi Substack) and was intrigued to see Seymour’s Waitangi 2024 interview with Mihingarangi Forbes. It’s earlier on in the piece with relation to the Treaty Principles Bill, soon after it was introduced.

In it he shifts uncomfortably when asked ‘does the Act Party have any links to the Atlas Network?’ (@ 13 mins this topic begins)

He replies ‘no’, but resorts to the now time-worn and fizzled go-to … ‘conspiracy theory’. Trying unsuccessfully to heap shame on Mihingarangi for descending to such ‘low quality’ information, casting aspersions upon her journalistic ability. Her ability IMO towers well above today’s lamestream endeavours.

Seymour’s own links to Atlas are easily-verifiable by his historical job stints at two Canadian Atlas-affiliated think tanks.

He is clearly there on page 6 of Atlas’s own review document of 2008.

Why is seeing Seymour’s links important now?

Because we appear to have a repeat scenario such as happened in Australia, particularly with regard to the Treaty Principles Bill here and Aussie’s referendum with respect to an indigenous voice in Parliament. (Video links all in the article). Rather than promoting equality for all, it is becoming more apparent that he really is inciting racial division. Going by the Aussie playbook at least. Race is another time-worn tactic. It is the ace card of those who seek to divide and rule. It’s how GB retained control over so many millions in India for so long.

“In all our varied campaigns we are up against the same powerful groups trying to keep hold of their resources. It’s in their interest that we are fragmented.”

The last thing these corporate pariahs want is environmentalists messing up their mining plans. Isn’t it all making sense now?

The article below by Torfrida Orme is a must read IMO.

Remember (quote):

“we all face the same well-funded and well-organised ideological opposition”.

ATLAS – how a right-wing global network is building influence in Aotearoa

Over the last six months it’s become so much clearer what we’re up against.

Whether we’re fighting for Te Tiriti or against new coal mines, for tax reform and fair pay, to protect Te Taiao or even just to keep NZ’s stop-smoking programme on track – we all face the same well-funded and well-organised ideological opposition.

As we plunge into fight-back, it’s worth spending some time to find out more about this opposition, why it seems to have appeared now and how it functions.

NOTE:

There are some aspects of the source article we don’t agree with however the main thrust is Seymour’s links to Atlas and their agenda. Re climate change. We do recognize there is a change in climate however who is behind that, in our opinion, is not you & I and our alleged use of ‘fossil fuels’, rather it is the well documented practice of weather modification. (Read Elana Freeland’s books on topic and if you can’t do that at least visit our geoengineering pages, main menu). See also Sen Malcolm Roberts exposé. The other aspect I have reservations about is the Fabian Socialists. Barry Smith spoke often of them (including the Mont Pelerin Society). Their original logo is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Read more here. It is quite a web we have to negotiate to get to the truth of things, even moreso in the past few years. There will always be differences of opinion and it’s best we don’t play into the hands of those who seek to maintain rule over us, by building walls in response to their divisive tactics. Rather we need, now more than ever, to put aside those differences (agree to disagree) and unite. They are a few thousand, we are a few billion. They are culling us and intend to continue. EWNZ

New Zealand during the Covid era

How to run an efficient state apology

by Connie Buchanan @ E-TANGATA

A very familiar modus operandi that became more glaringly obvious during and after 2020. EWNZ


Giving an apology on behalf of the state is tricky business. Here’s Connie Buchanan with a summary of how to do the bare minimum.

Stay in your own house. Be where you make the rules and feel most at ease. Where there’s plenty of room for you, but limited space for others.

Invite a mere handful of the thousands of survivors who are owed the apology. Put these few in another room of your house. Give them time to respond to the apology that you haven’t yet delivered. Five minutes each. Do not, yourself, go and sit in that room. It was bad enough having to read their horrible stories in the very long report.

While they are responding to the things you haven’t said yet, get ready to deliver the apology. Wear your normal suit like it’s a normal work day. Stand in your normal spot, surrounded by your normal crew. When you’re ready, bring them in from the other room. Make them be quiet. Make them listen. Make them obey the rules of your house. Keep the rest of the thousands at bay on a one-way live stream.
