The End of Reality Consensus Disorder – LewRockwell

Posted by M. C. on January 25, 2023

“We’ve quite literally outsourced the definition of reality to a small group of technocrats in nondescript offices whose names we’ll never know and who self-selected for issue advocacy and whose interests likely diverge severely from those of we the people.” –El Gato Malo on Substack

Elon Musk shocked the Twitterverse (and beyond) by confessing that he only took the vaxxes because international travel for business required it, and his second shot was a near-death experience (while his cousin developed myocarditis from it). Meanwhile, the UN issued a warning to him through a WEF mouthpiece, EU Commissioner for Values and Transparency, Vera Jourova: comply and regulate speech on the platform, or else….

The big annual World Economic Forum meet-up concluded last week with a mighty “So, What?” as the world struggled with some success to get its mind right after years of relentless WEF-inspired psy-ops. Own nothing… eat bugs…  great re-set… yeah, right. These days, fewer sovereign individuals believe der Schwabenklaus bullshit about the necessity of becoming menials for the “fittest 0.1 percent” of mankind who comprise the WEF’s cabal of elite “strategic partners.” News reports pegged the attendance in Davos this year at a shocking mere half of invitees. Did the absentees quail at the risk of all being together in the same auditorium (what with all those drones and missiles available on the black market)? Or could they not find enough unvaccinated pilots to fly their private jets?

By no strange coincidence, one of the WEF’s most sadistic leadership implants, PM Jacinda Ardern of New Zealand, dropped out of office the same week, declaring she had “no gas left in the tank.” Old George Orwell had a pretty keen eye for the arc of history, but it never occurred to him that Big Brother would turn out to be Big Sister. Ms. Ardern was the one who said of her regime, “We will continue to be your single source of truth… Unless you hear it from us it is not the truth.” Polls indicated her party would get thrashed in this year’s parliamentary election. Next door in equally vaxxed-to-the-max Australia, the government had to confess last week that the country had more Covid-19 deaths in the first half of January this new year than in all of 2021.

Europe is starting to emerge from its Covid coma, France especially, where disgruntled masses marched in the streets last week, evincing growing disgust with WEF poodle Emmanuel Macron. Germany, not so much. Is it possible they really haven’t learned anything from what went on 1933-1945? Great Britain, a basket-case of Woke double-think and economic tribulation, is crumbling over excess all-causes mortality and a public health officialdom addicted to lying. British doctors are in revolt against the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, the UK equivalent of the FDA.

A wake-up is underway in these sore-beset United States. It was no small thing, for instance, that former “vaccine” cheerleader, Scott Adams, the podcaster of the Dilbert comic strip fame, admitted pretty forthrightly that he was wrong about all that. “The thing that [the unvaxxed] don’t have to worry about is what I have to worry about: what happens with this vaccination five years from now? All my fancy analytics took me to a bad place.”

Elon Musk shocked the Twitterverse (and beyond) by confessing that he only took the vaxxes because international travel for business required it, and his second shot was a near-death experience (while his cousin developed myocarditis from it). Meanwhile, the UN issued a warning to him through a WEF mouthpiece, EU Commissioner for Values and Transparency, Vera Jourova: comply and regulate speech on the platform, or else….

We have the rules which must be complied with and otherwise there will be sanctions. I think that the confidence has been weakened, and I had quite a high level of confidence when it comes to Twitter. I have to say that we worked with knowledgeable people, with layers, with sociologists, who understood that they have to behave in some decent way. Not to cause really big harm to society…” she said.

Something tells me that Mr. Musk will invite these busybodies to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut. As the Tweeter @BlackFlagExpat explained: “Musk can simply set up the server capacity outside of EU jurisdiction (UK, Andorra, Switz, Russia?) and move all data to those physical and virtual servers. Then lay off all European employees and stop paying rent on all leases.” Nice!

That old rats-from-a-sinking-ship feeling emanates from the hazy region where “Joe Biden” dwells. Chief of staff Ron Klain is handing over his duties to former Covid-19 “czar” Jeff Zients — who did such a swell job keeping Americans mis-and-disinformed through the heart of the “vaccine” campaign (January 2021 to April 2022). Every thread of the Covid-19 narrative promulgated by this ass, and the sachems of the CDC and FDA, are shredded, proved to be not only lies, but deadly lies. Every angle of Covid policy was wrong, and treasonously wrong. This is who will soon be, ostensibly, leading the country — since you can be sure that “JB” is not. Nobody will believe a word that Jeff Zients utters. The mainstream media is even turning against this coterie of evil nincompoops.

Bye, Jacinda – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

Posted by M. C. on January 21, 2023

She’s one more neocommunist failure who ran her country aground.

“Stay local,” she said, a concerned Karen look on her face. “Do not congregate. Don’t talk to your neighbors. Please keep to your bubbles.”

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announces her resignation (Bloomberg Markets and Finance/YouTube)

On Thursday, Dan Flynn reported the news in his daily must-read Spectator A.M. morning newsletter…

Jacinda Ardern, the control-freak prime minister of New Zealand who transformed one of the freest countries on the planet to an Orwellian one during the COVID crisis, announced on Wednesday her resignation effective sometime in the next few weeks. Her absence from the World Economic Forum to go around now makes sense.

Ardern has been a darling of the global socialist set for five-plus years since getting herself elected PM in New Zealand, which was predictable. She was a young, pretty, emotive leftist dripping with unrealistic idealism, and they latched onto her as though she was a white female Barack Obama from Down Under.

Which is why she graced the covers of Vogue and Time without ever really doing anything other than spouting progressive pieties and emoting charismatically for the cameras.

An insignificant, if breathtakingly beautiful nation like New Zealand was the perfect venue for the kind of heroine worship the international press loaded onto her; after all, New Zealand more or less runs itself, so it would be impossible for her to do damage sufficient to break the spell, right?

Wrong.

Ardern quit because the voters in New Zealand were increasingly enthusiastic about the prospect of firing her and her party is on the electoral ropes. And why?

If you think people here in America ran out of patience with the rough-and-tumble of Donald Trump’s time in office, it was nothing compared to the five years Ardern has run New Zealand.

There was a volcanic eruption on White Island, in the Bay of Plenty off the coast of the country’s north island in December of 2019, which killed 22 tourists and guides caught in the volcano’s crater when it blasted out a cloud of steam. Ardern’s government filed charges against 10 organizations and three people in the wake of those deaths, wiping out a popular tourism engine for the town of Whakatane probably forever. There’s a Netflix documentary about the eruption that is fairly hair-raising, but it obscures something that is a basic truth — anyone with a brain knows that walking into the crater of an active volcano is an incredibly dangerous thing to do and that’s what makes it so thrilling.

It’s a perfect case of “assumption of risk,” which is a long-standing tenet within the common law, but the emotive leftist Kiwi PM wasn’t having any of that. It’s more than three years later, and setting foot on the island still isn’t permitted.

Perhaps that reaction was defensible. But then there was Ardern’s reaction to the March 2019 atrocities in Christchurch, when a xenophobic loon shot up a couple of mosques in that town, killing 51 people and injuring another 40. Ardern showed up to comfort the victims, quickly donning a headscarf — not that doing so was over the top or anything — and called it a “spontaneous” gesture of respect for Islam.

And then immediately after, she pushed through an “assault weapons” ban, and then launched a campaign against online “hate speech.”

You might be starting to get the picture here. If it’s beginning to sound like Gretchen Whitmer on steroids, we’re just getting rolling.

I forgot to mention when Ardern really began tugging at the heartstrings of the global socialist media. That came in 2018, when she showed off her then-3-month-old baby at the United Nations. It turned out that she wasn’t married to the father of said child; something which was passed off as a perfectly normal circumstance for the leader of a country to be in. Ardern said that a marriage to her “partner” Clarke Gayford, a TV news anchor, was in the offing, but kept putting it off.

In fact, she closed her remarks at Wednesday’s resignation by telling Gayford, “Let’s finally get married!” How touching.

In fact, Ardern said she had to put off the wedding because of COVID. Everybody in New Zealand had to put their lives on hold because of COVID.

Let me rephrase that: Everybody in New Zealand had to put their lives on hold because of Jacinda Ardern’s insane overreaction to COVID.

She shut down the country’s borders in early 2020 when New Zealand had a grand total of 25 deaths among a population of five million. Those borders didn’t reopen until August of last year. She also instituted sweeping mask and vaccine mandates, locking the country down to such an onerous extent that the global media held her out as a model for international virus policy.

“Stay local,” she said, a concerned Karen look on her face. “Do not congregate. Don’t talk to your neighbors. Please keep to your bubbles.”

Now the NEW ZEALAND Freedom Convoy Has Arrived

Posted by M. C. on February 16, 2022

The places we thought were paradise are now hell holes.

First the protest was deemed legal as others before it. Then, members of the Freedom Convoy were told they were trespassing. Then, mass arrests came. Cameras began to be used against members of the Freedom Convoy to identify them. Then, water sprinklers were turned on. Then, loud music.

Things have only escalated in New Zealand, and they’re bound to continue in the near future.

Jeff Thompson

As anticipated, the Canadian Freedom Convoy movement has expanded, and is now firmly in place within New Zealand. And the New Zealand Freedom Convoy has finally reached the grounds of Parliament.

February 7, New Zealand citizens clamoring for their inherent right to freedom absolutely saturated the area around Parliament, as thousands filled the area. And, like Canada, New Zealand’s Prime Minister would not discuss matters with them. Jacinda Ardern refused to meet her fellow citizens, claiming that not only did she have “other priorities” to attend to, but that “this too shall pass.”

FREEDOM CONVOY NZ 22 pic.twitter.com/mWA1CNXNUH

No arrests had been made at this time, though.

Two days later, police had made over 120 arrests at the Freedom Convoy, stating that people were “trespassing” and were guilty of “obstruction.”

The New Zealand Police tweeted out at this time, “Wellingonians have the right to conduct their lives and go about their business without the interference of ongoing unlawful activity.”

Throughout the past two years, New Zealand has had incredibly tight travel restrictions. Many Kiwis have ended up stranded away from home within their own country, as a result. Families have been separated, forced apart by those who claim that they are serving the public’s interest.

New Zealanders are forced to show their “papers” anytime they enter a church, attend a rugby match, or go to many other venues as well. The Kiwis are fed up.

And now they’re being punished for saying ‘no.’

Parked vehicles are being given traffic tickets, drones and security cameras (most likely with facial recognition software) are being used to identify protestors, and anybody arrested is being told they cannot “lawfully” reenter the protest, as having been served trespassing papers, they would then be in violation of their trespassing notice.

What is strange about this though is that New Zealand has a long history of protesting on Parliament grounds. It’s never been a problem before. Police even explicitly stated at one time that the Freedom Convoy’s presence did not constitute a trespassing violation.

Even Jacinda had previously stated, “People often protest on the front lawn of Parliament. It is a part of New Zealand.”

After it was announced to the protestors that they were now trespassing, they responded in unison by engaging in the Maori haka, a traditional war dance.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=JnM0uX_UnGA%3Fstart%3D110

So, what changed?

Perhaps, it is the stated goals of the New Zealand Freedom Convoy that has caused the sudden U-turn in policy by the police.

According to the Convoy, papers have been filed for the arrest of Health Minister Andrew Little. He is being presented with charges of manslaughter by the Freedom Convoy, and anybody who has evidence of a jab injury within New Zealand has been encouraged to provide their evidence for their claim.

If Trudeau loses next week, I sincerely hope it marks the beginning of the end for wokeness — RT Op-ed

Posted by M. C. on September 17, 2021

The removal of Trudeau could signal the beginning of the fightback against the woke agenda. It could be the moment when the silent majority, who have been browbeaten by the noisy minority, finally say that enough is enough.  

Good luck! It didn’t work in Kalifornia. Too much free stuff.

https://www.rt.com/op-ed/535003-justin-trudeau-canada-polls/

Paul A. Nuttall is a historian, author and a former politician. He was a Member of the European Parliament between 2009 and 2019 and was a prominent campaigner for Brexit.

Commander-in-Chief of Woke Justin Trudeau could be removed as prime minister when Canadians go to the polls on Monday. And there would be few tears from me for a man who has taken political correctness to a laughable new level.

The funny thing is, Trudeau has brought his potential downfall on himself. He called the snap election last month, when he did not have to do so. Canadians were not due to go to the polls until 2023, but he thought that he could catch his opponents off guard and ride to victory.   

However, polls show that Trudeau is nowhere near gaining the support he needs for an overall majority, and it is becoming clear that his gamble has failed. Trudeau has thrown his own career and his party into a needless tailspin, and it looks as if he could pay the ultimate political price. 

I must say that I have to laugh, because with the possible exception of New Zealand’s PM, Jacinda Ardern, Trudeau must be the wokest leader on the planet. Indeed, I actually think that he revels in his own wokeness and enjoys being provocative.    

I often hear wokeness being described as just having good manners and not wanting to offend people, and it might have started out that way. But as with everything, it always gets taken too far and ends up being used for more sinister purposes. 

Woke is now being deployed by people like Trudeau to alter language, and in some cases, cancel people who have not signed up to the new ideology. But, in the end, it generally just gets on most people’s nerves. 

And there can be no doubt that when it comes to world leaders, Trudeau is the commander-in-chief of woke. There are plenty of examples of his silly wokeness, and I’ll give you two examples that made me laugh.

In 2018, Trudeau told a woman not to refer to “mankind,” but instead to use “peoplekind,” because “it’s more inclusive.” He later claimed it was a joke, but the reality is that he got carried away with his own politically correct waffle. And earlier this year, Trudeau could not even bring himself to wish Canadians a happy Easter – no doubt afraid that any reference to the Christian holiday would offend non-Christians and non-believers. Instead he wished everyone a happy “long weekend,” to widespread derision.  

Anyway, back to the election. Trudeau has been in power since 2015, and his popularity has been on the wane pretty much ever since. In 2019, his party lost its majority and he only hung on as PM after forming a minority government. Trudeau suffered a harrowing campaign back then, when it emerged that he had a penchant for ‘blackface’ at fancy dress parties.

But this time, it seems the wheels are well and truly coming off Trudeau’s campaign. Inflation is rising, just as it is in the United States, and vaccine mandates have become a ‘wedge issue’. Trudeau wants to impose draconian measures – like Joe Biden – which mandate all government workers, transport workers, and travellers on public transport to be vaccinated. His Conservative opponents favour a less restrictive approach, which includes regular testing for workers. The result of the election, which may be a close-run affair, could turn on whose approach voters prefer.       

History does have a funny way of repeating itself. In May 2017, Theresa May called a general election in the UK because she thought she could not lose. She believed she had caught the other political parties unaware and unprepared. 

I was the leader of UKIP at the time, and we certainly were not ready. But it blew up in her face, and she ended up losing her majority in the House of Commons. She had needlessly signed her own political death warrant, and Trudeau looks like he is doing the same. 

The removal of Trudeau could signal the beginning of the fightback against the woke agenda. It could be the moment when the silent majority, who have been browbeaten by the noisy minority, finally say that enough is enough.    

Every political movement or idea has its time, and eventually its shelf-life runs out of date. Let’s all hope that a defeat for Trudeau could be the beginning of the end of woke and cancel culture, and we can get back to a society based on good old common sense and decency.

New Zealand Ruling Class Locks Down The Entire Country Over One COVID Case

Posted by M. C. on August 18, 2021

After one person tested positive for COVID-19 in New Zealand, the ruler of that country locked down the slaves once again. New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced a nationwide lockdown after the confirmed case, which is the first locally transmitted Covid-19 case in the community since February.

The ruling class has already made the assumption that this new case of the Delta variant too. The case was in an unvaccinated person too, so expect the rhetoric against those who are still refusing to take this shot to increase.

The CDC ADMITS: PCR Tests CANNOT Differentiate Between Coronaviruses!

An unvaccinated 58-year-old man in the country’s largest city Auckland tested positive for the virus. The man had traveled to other parts of the country, and had an obvious link to the border, Director General of Health Ashley Bloomfield said Tuesday.

New Zealand will be under the strictest level lockdown level for the next three days starting from 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, local time, Ardern said. Under level four lockdown, everyone must stay home and businesses are closed aside for essential services such as supermarkets and pharmacies. –CNN

“We are one of the last countries in the world to have the Delta variant in our community,” Ardern said. “We’re in the position to learn from experience overseas, and what actions work, and what actions don’t work.”

“Delta has been called a gamechanger – and it is. It means we need to again go hard and early to stop the spread. We have seen what can happen elsewhere if we fail to get on top of it. We only get one chance.”

The mainstream media is blaming New Zealand’s tyrannical ruling class for failing to give more people the experimental gene therapy shot. New Zealand has been slow to vaccinate. According to data collated by CNN, New Zealand has fully immunized less than 20% of its population.

Slow to vaccinate, quick to tyranny. Five million people are now on house arrest because one person caught a cold within this rulers’ borders. If they can pull this off here, they will try.  Unless we all start to realize that this is all a part of an overall worldwide agenda, we are going to march in lockstep right into the New World Order.

New Zealand PM Encourages Gun Owners to Surrender Their Firearms

If New Zealanders are truly a FREE PEOPLE, then REFUSE!
Why should a FREE PEOPLE accept “Collective Guilt”, and submit
to punishment for something they didn’t do???

STAND UP, SAY NO, I WON’T!

So the NZ. prime Minister believes making law abiding gun owners vulnerable to the ramifications of crime by disarming them is a logical solution to the problem of criminality. Doesn’t this blithering idiot know that that Gun Free Zones are the most vulnerable areas ( schools, houses of worship, venues where guns are banned etc.) on earth to mass shootings?

We’ve already seen what their laws have accomplished and all she’s doing is making it less safe !!

    The Guardian reports that Ardern emerged from a cabinet meeting Monday to say that new gun controls had been agreed upon but specifics would not be immediately made known. She did, however, praise the fact that her government had made decisions about new restrictions on gun ownership within 72 hours of the Christchurch attacks.

    Ardern went on to “applaud” New Zealanders who have surrendered weapons and she encouraged others to go ahead and hand theirs over as well:…
