Canada’s opposition Conservative party has come out strongly in support of the protesting truckers, and entered a motion into parliament to end Justin Trudeau’s vaccine mandates. If you were expecting the NZ National party to show similar courage and political acumen, you’re right out of luck. Chris Luxon held a press conference this afternoon where his rhetoric on the protesters

Eureka! Apparently David Seymour has suddenly discovered there are sources of information outside NZ’s mainstream media. The goofy ACT leader issued a press release today that included the following paragraph- “Evidence from the UK is now showing tested infection rates twice as high for vaccinated as unvaccinated. If vaccination does not affect transmission of Omicron, then what is the justification

You are probably very mistrustful of the media already, but do you know just what depths they can sink to to? Here’s a perfect example of how they slyly deceive. TV One has been doing its best to destroy the credibility of the Wellington protesters. On Thursday they ran an item on the six o clock news centered on claims

The collective of Jacinda acolytes propagating a coordinated stream of lies to the NZ public about the anti-mandate Freedom Protest don’t really deserve to be called media. We call them that today only because its a convenient collective term for what is essentially a band of group think deceivers. Fake newsers who all signed on to publish Pravda style govt

Its not fair or accurate to say that the Association of Consumers and Taxpayers (ACT) is a complete waste of everyone’s time. They do have some good ideas and in spite of their wokeism, they also have some of the best people in parliament. (not saying much) ACT’s problem is their inconsistency in that they shy away from matters they

Events in Canadian politics last week have delivered a message to the New Zealand National party and they should heed it well. Opposition party leader Erin O’Toole lost this job when the Conservatives finally worked out he was not the “True Blue Conservative” he had made himself out to be, but a weak liberal imposter. The Canadian opposition is not

Two days ago a NZ MSM employee tweeted her dissatisfaction at the NZ public’s criticism of journalists. Responses to this complaint were numerous, and in many instances they referred to the media’s failure to report on the huge and momentous Canadian truckers’ protest against Covid19 vaccination mandates. Perhaps these complaints (along with so many others on blogs and social media)

The New Zealand media is a confederation of left wing liars. TV One’s failure to report on anti-mandate protests by Canadian truckers is the most stark example of this dishonesty. It illustrates media’s willingness to manipulate to the advantage of the Ardern govt those NZ citizens who still inexplicably trust them. Way back in September 2020 Labour supporting Otago University

Maybe its too early to say, but National’s “new” leader is so far looking very much like a Todd Muller retread. If you were anxious to discover what Chris Luxon wants to do with the party he now leads, you might have spent time over the Christmas New Year break studying the dozens of long form interviews he has done

News that the BFD blog and its customers and commenters are under police “surveillance” should not come as a surprise. Like most of our public institutions, Police in NZ have been politicized for some time, but especially so since “Cuddles” Coster became Commissioner. As many have already pointed out, the issue here is not the BFD. The police documents released

A core principle of journalism is a willingness to protect the weak from the powerful, and to always hold those in power to account. When journalists start working for the powerful, they forfeit their right to be called such, and are no longer part of that profession. They become propagandists. Unfortunately, most journalists today fall into this category. At the

National die-hards are flat out cheering for their “renewed” party, and who can blame them? Of course Christopher Luxon would make a “better” PM than Jacinda Ardern. Of course National would form a “better” government than Labour. However the reality is National has been taken over by a group of politically naïve liberals, (with the possible exception of Simon Bridges)

The demise of the National Party in its current format is long overdue, and all we can hope for now is that recent events hasten badly needed reform. This week’s sequence of catastrophes was set in motion Monday when Tova O’Brien interviewed Simon Bridges on his leadership aspirations. (see video below) Ms O’Brien has hated Judith Collins for a long

Sure, most of the country does not understand that the media is deeply corrupt. Maybe 20% of us know what a chronic problem this is within our democratic system. Perhaps another 20% thinks its a bit of a problem. Leaving aside the few lunatics on the extreme left who think the media is biased to the right, then that leaves

Over the years, New Zealand has signed up to some damaging socialist concepts, and in too many cases, the party that signed us up has been the National Party. Want an example? Its easy. Here’s one- The RMA is probably the most damaging piece of legislation ever enacted in NZ, especially to our investment sector. It was the brainchild of

Recent NZ protests have seen fringe elements comparing Jacinda Ardern and her Labour government to Nazis. Even though such comparisons are a very small part of the protests the mainstream media highlight them. Because it gives media what they yearn for, and that is an opportunity to discredit the protests. Media rightly point out that Hitler killed millions of people,

More shocking examples of the NZ media’s political corruption and innate bias. One from Stuff’s “Chief Political Reporter” Henry Cooke and another from the editorial writer at the Otago Daily Times. The current editor at the newspaper is Barry Stewart. If there were any mature and responsible people in charge, both of these media people would be fired for such

One of the good things about social media is that mainstream media so called journalists are using it, and by their personal tweets and Facebook and Instagram posts they show us they’re just the kind of shallow groupthink left wing dropkicks we always knew they were anyway. Its good to see your long held opinions proved accurate. Their reporting on

In a paywalled article in Saturday’s NZ Herald, left liberal political commenter Matthew Hooton calls for Christopher Luxon to act now in securing the leadership of the National Party. Thankfully, the tepid reaction to Mr Hooton’s article suggests no one is reading news and opinion from that source. That the far left groupthink NZ media has been telling us for

Yesterday a NZ television presenter tweeted about how recent protests criticising the media for failing to question govt (on Covid19 in particular) were becoming “dangerous. Mihingarangi Forbes, who was known as Joanna Forbes when she left Fielding High School in 1990, posted the following tweet- A quick look at her timeline shows she has recently celebrated the throwing of a

FOX News report that Republicans have won back the state of Virginia and this is a significant win for so many reasons. It signals that people are finally awake to the left’s agenda and primarily its long time strategy of brainwashing kids in lieu of educating them. The Republican candidate for Governor is the previously unknown Glenn Youngkin, who is

New Zealanders and farmers especially need to be fully informed on what the watermelon Jimmy Shaw is signing the country up to at the COP26 fiasco in Glasgow. This morning Radio New Zealand reported that communist China’s best friend Shaw was ready to put his name on an agreement to cut methane emissions by 30% by 2030. Some methane is

New Zealand’s hard left Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, shocked and demoralised at receiving unscripted questions from media, called off her open air Northland press conference this afternoon and retreated to the safety of a nearby building. She ordered what she called the “accredited media” to accompany her, and they lamely followed just like the fakes and cowards they all are.

During the Covid19 saga Jacinda Ardern’s government has seriously and repeatedly proclaimed itself the only trustworthy source of facts and creditable opinion. The video below proves this claim to be a complete and utter falsity. Worse, its agents in media and academia have viciously attacked any person who attempted to express any information or opinion that challenged the government’s message.

So many words, and falling mostly on deaf ears. Not just this blog, but many others have been warning for years and years and years about what will happen if NZ does not change its communist trajectory. The trick to life is to always try and see things as they really are. To filter out feelings and distractions, to squint
