I particularly related to his conclusion.
“An important message…NZDSOS want to spread the word now amongst those who seem very good at opposing government narrative that we have yesterday sent a list to the government – Jacinda Ardern, Chris Hipkins, Ashley Bloomfield, Medsafe MCNZ – of the 100 confirmed post jab deaths we have collated to date so they can no longer ignore what they are lying about. We have many more deaths still to write up with 2 per day coming in on average. plus hundreds of injuries eg strokes, heart attacks, clots etc.

The Medical Council is looking “very seriously” at a text message sent by a local Wellington doctor to his patients, informing them he doesn’t support Covid-19 vaccinations.
Medical Council chair Dr Curtis Walker said the council received a number of notifications on Friday morning about the text, which Dr Matthew Shelton of Plimmerton Medical Centre sent on Thursday evening.
Walker said the council was taking immediate steps, including communicating with the doctor on Friday.
“Our primary focus is public safety. The council’s view is that there is no place for anti-vaccination messages in professional practice, nor any promotion of anti-vaccination claims including on social media and advertising by health practitioners,” Walker said.
She also made the demonstrably false claim that Covid-19 can be treated with ivermectin.
Benjamin made a maskless appearance at the protest in downtown Auckland yesterday, which led to four arrests.
Her distaste for masking up was flagged by students in one of her classes this week.
A source from AUT reported that she asked a student to remove his face mask in a lecture earlier this week, despite the university’s policy allowing students to wear masks and socially distance in class.
In response, Benjamin said she didn’t ask a student to remove a face mask. "I told him he should feel free to do so, not that he should do so or must do so. And he seemed to react with relief when I said this and promptly took off his mask, with a smile." It’s not the first time Benjamin has taken flack for courting controversy.
In 2017, an article of hers was published by the African Journal of International and Comparative Law questioning whether 9/11 was a "false flag attack", saying the evidence strongly suggests the attacks “were either perpetrated by elements of the US Government or allowed by them to happen”.
Although Benjamin was present at the protest, her inability to pronounce Te Kahika Jr’s name suggests she is not a dedicated follower of his.
Nevertheless, many of the claims she made in her video echoed his, such as calling Covid-19 an easily treatable disease that poses little risk to the healthy population.
Meanwhile, back in Benjamin's native United States, Covid-related deaths have skyrocketed over the last month, now averaging 769 per day.
This is according to the Reuters tally - mainstream media Benjamin said has “parroted [the Covid narrative] incessantly".
“Now this, ladies and gentlemen,” Benjamin said about Te Kahika’s arrest, “should make all of you sit up and take notice ... Certainly you must see the problem with criminalising and forbidding peaceful protest and demonstration against such a policy.”
It should be noted that the arrest of Te Kahika Jr was for breaching the health order and gathering in public under Level 4 restrictions, rather than for the act of protesting itself.
She said public gathering is critical for protest.
"The Government could have created an exemption from the health-order edict for core political-speech rights, but chose not to," she said. "So here we are."
The video was Benjamin’s ‘maiden broadcast’ on her YouTube channel, which is called American Spirit.
A former student of Benjamin’s said she was an upbeat and slightly eccentric tutor in her first year Public Law paper.
“She was deeply enthusiastic about us using correct grammar in our assignments,” she said. “And presenting our opinions loudly and proudly.”
The Covid-19 delta variant has forced Australia and New Zealand to review their strategies of eliminating infections of the virus, and prompted Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison to say it’s highly unlikely his country will ever return to zero cases.
Australia’s focus needs to shift to hospitalization rates rather than case numbers, Morrison told ABC’s Insiders program Sunday. The highly infectious nature of delta raised some “pretty big” questions about New Zealand’s approach of eliminating the disease, Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins said in an interview on TVNZ. ...
“With a virus that can be infectious within 24 hours of someone getting it, that does change the game a bit,” Hipkins said. “With our Level Four lockdown, we are very well placed to be able to run it to ground, but we have to be prepared for the fact that we can’t do that every time there is one of these.”....
Hipkins said the system had worked well pre-delta, but it was now looking “less adequate and less robust.”

14 “Now therefore fear the LORD and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the LORD. 15 And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the LORD, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Australians turned out in mass Saturday to protest tyrannical police harassment in a country that is reported to now be more authoritarian than even China.
In Victoria, video footage shows police firing on unarmed crowds, allegedly with rubber bullets. Other substances were sprayed on the crowd such as pepper spray, and one video clip showed a young boy blinded and crying.
This was all after a week that saw horrific video footage online throughout Australia of police beating up 12-year-olds for not wearing masks, a child being ripped from a parent’s arms allegedly to inject her, and police just in general terrorizing the public for whatever reason they saw fit, using “COVID” as an excuse for everything.
The epic scene was filmed in Tweed Heads on the border between Queensland and New South Wales (NSW), where around a thousand people gathered on Sunday to decry the ban on crossing state lines, introduced to stem the spread of the coronavirus.
A man galloped on a white horse among the demonstrators, while delivering a sort of a passionate pre-battle speech.
“Cross over! Everyone go across the border! Cross over! They can’t arrest us all,” the rider shouted, prompting applause and cheers from his fellow protesters.
The dogs, one of which had just given birth to puppies, were housed in a pound in the northwest of the state, and were due to be picked up by volunteers from a Cobar-based animal shelter. However, the Sydney Morning Herald reported on Sunday that workers with the Bourke Shire Council had shot them dead last week.
The council ruled that having the volunteers come and collect the animals would somehow put council employees and the local community, including “vulnerable Aboriginal populations” at risk of catching and spreading Covid-19, the Herald reported, citing the Office of Local Government, the council’s watchdog group. The group is now investigating whether animal cruelty laws were broken by the council.
This tweet has now been deleted
Mayor Steve Christou, of Cumberland City Council, tweeted an official graphic illustrating new lockdown rules on Friday. Having posted the image that warned residents of the mandate that requires them to have a permit to leave the region and to register their personal details to be allowed to visit a “singles buddy” within a five-kilometer (three-mile) reach, he wrote: “Welcome to Nazi Germany.” The comment from the councilor, who describes himself as having “a tendency to speak what I think,” was later deleted.
The official has previously expressed his opposition to the tightening of lockdown rules and any mandatory vaccination, describing the situation as “dictatorial madness.”
His latest provocative tweet was publicly available for long enough to elicit an array of reactions.
Here's a good bit of advice; never use Nazi Germany as comparison for anything. Resign and take a lesson in Ethics.

AUSTRALIA
Meanwhile, in Australia, thousands violated that country's latest COVID Lockdown by protesting en-masse in the streets.
Below is video from Victoria:
Then, in Melbourne, thousands more FORCIBLY broke through police barricades and marched in defiance of the tyranny plaguing that country:
Police responded in a heavy handed manner; forcibly arresting people for DARING to be out in the fresh air, in violation of the tyrants who say "stay home."
The officers seem to forget they exist to protect liberty and property, not to deny liberty. (HT Remark: Strange how public servants sometimes think they rule rather than serve.)
Here's another view of the utterly massive protest and defiance of lockdowns; this view from the Bourke Street Mall in Melbourne:
Here, police began firing rubber bullets and pepper-spray-pellets against peaceful people. It caused real trouble, too!
To the outside observer, it seems only a matter of time until the actual killing starts.
We root for the citizens and for freedom from tyranny.
An Australian Member of Parliament, Victor Dominello has been diagnosed with Bell’s Palsy after AstraZeneca vaccine (branded as Covishield in India) after viewers noticed his ‘droopy eye’ during the state’s live COVID-19 update press conference.
NSW’s Customer Service Minister Victor Dominello got himself checked out after viewers tuning into the state’s daily COVID-19 press conference commented on his droopy eye, with some suggesting he was winking at the camera and others thinking he had a stroke.
Victor Dominello appeared at the press conference on Wednesday to discuss business grants as the state recorded a staggering 633 local infections.
In an update later that night, Mr Dominello issued a thank you to the viewers who sent him messages of concern after tuning into the press conference.
"At this morning’s press conference – a number of people commented on my droopy eye,” he wrote on social media.
New South Wales Police announced the sentence in a statement on Friday, revealing that the man had been imprisoned for “multiple breaches of the Public Health Order,” as well as for his part in organizing the “unauthorized protest” set for this weekend.
The man, who is from the state of Victoria, pleaded guilty to failing to comply with Covid-19 directions, encouraging “the commission of crimes,” and false representation, police said.
Sydney Morning Herald reporter Angus Thompson noted on Twitter that the publicization of a person’s imprisonment by NSW Police was “unusual” and theorized that it was intended to scare other potential protesters in Sydney ahead of the weekend protest.
The sentence angered many Australians on social media, as well as people from around the world, who condemned the move as authoritarian and compared NSW Police to the Nazi Gestapo.

Background: Data on breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant infections are limited.
Methods: We studied breakthrough infections among healthcare workers of a major infectious diseases hospital in Vietnam. We collected demographics, vaccination history and results of PCR diagnosis alongside clinical data. We measured SARS-CoV-2 (neutralizing) antibodies at diagnosis, and at week 1, 2 and 3 after diagnosis. We sequenced the viruses using ARTIC protocol.
Findings: Between 11th–25th June 2021 (week 7–8 after dose 2), 69 healthcare workers were tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. 62 participated in the clinical study. 49 were (pre)symptomatic with one requiring oxygen supplementation. All recovered uneventfully. 23 complete-genome sequences were obtained. They all belonged to the Delta variant, and were phylogenetically distinct from the contemporary Delta variant sequences obtained from community transmission cases, suggestive of ongoing transmission between the workers. Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020. Time from diagnosis to PCR negative was 8–33 days (median: 21). Neutralizing antibody levels after vaccination and at diagnosis of the cases were lower than those in the matched uninfected controls. There was no correlation between vaccine-induced neutralizing antibody levels and viral loads or the development of symptoms.
Interpretation: Breakthrough Delta variant infections are associated with high viral loads, prolonged PCR positivity, and low levels of vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies, explaining the transmission between the vaccinated people. Physical distancing measures remain critical to reduce SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant transmission.
Funding: Wellcome (106680/B/14/Z and 204904/Z/16/Z).
Declaration of Interest: None to declare.
Ethical Approval: The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of HTD and the Oxford Tropical Research Ethics Committee, University of Oxford, UK.
Keywords: Delta variant, Oxford-AstraZeneca, COVID-19, vaccine breakthrough, Vietnam

Lockdown in Hutt City, NZ
The whole of New Zealand is under Level 4 lockdown that is supposed to last until Tuesday, although everyone knows it will go on - given the narrative the government has painted itself into, in perpetuity.
I have been sent these photos with comments.
I shall add my own observations in bold type.
This is High Street in Lower Hutt, which, although it has already been all but destroyed as a busy shopping hub usually has a lot more activity than this!
Strangely quiet for a normal bustling Saturday.
Local 'Mad Butcher' and adjoining fish shop closed. The lockdown is hitting butchers hard - fresh meat needing to be refrigerated or disposed of, and the mostly low income folk who shop here denied affordable meat for their families.
During the last lockdown butchers and vegetable shops were forced to shut down while the supermarkets, practically given monopoly rights, became the only places for people to shop along with some boutique shops that cater to the elite.
It looks as if this is being repeated this time.
More observations
I checked the website for the Hutt Valley District Health Board.
There are no indications as to whether operations for the seriously ill are going ahead (they were put on the back burner last time round).
