Its clear the Ardern govt is exaggerating the Covid-19 crisis in order to distract the publics attention from its overall woeful performance. While NZers are fed a daily dose of fear about the virus, there’s a lot of bad stuff happening behind the scenes that in other times would be headline material.

Diesel, petrol, natural gas and electricity charges are all going to massively increase as the Carbon Trading scheme, dreamed up by UN bureaucrats and signed onto by cronyist fake capitalists takes effect. They’re all making money hand over fist, and consumers distracted by TV One’s scaremongering on Covid-19 will be paying for it.

When these commodities rise in price so does everything else, because transport/ energy costs play a big part in the pricing of everything that is bought. Current projections are that the fake named “Carbon Price” will rise to $70 a tonne or more. This should be big news, especially as the govt last year “capped” the price at $50.

In fact Ardern’s cap is another bit of fakery, as she can’t really control the price, given it is decided in auction houses in overseas trading centres. Its likely the price will rise far above $70/tonne which will have a devastating effect on what NZers pay for practically everything. $110 is not far off, and some say it will reach $250, and if so it will be catastrophically damaging to our standard of living.

Whereas NZers are already paying 12 cents extra for a litre of petrol, the $70 cap will see this rise to 16 cents. Don’t forget, its not just the cost of petrol and diesel. A rise in these commodities drives similar rises in groceries and all other everyday items.

Greens leader Jimmy Shaw, the radical communist who poses as a moderate is gleeful at the rises. He wants them as high as possible for he agrees that our reliance on cheap energy must be destroyed, and he knows carbon trading and the subsequent cost rises are the way to do it. His problem, and one he is happy to ignore, is there is no alternative supply of energy for consumers to turn to. None that are any cheaper anyway.

So we have clear economic disaster deliberately engineered by the Jacinda Ardern/ Labour govt bearing down upon us and its hardly causing a ripple in the news cycle. As TV One and every other media source continues to drive Covid-19 fear, the social and economic destruction Ardern’s policies are creating behind the scenes goes unnoticed.

In this case, its going to hit hip pockets hard and when it does, maybe at last NZ voters will awaken from their induced state of apathy and fear. Let’s hope that by then, its not too late.
