New Zealand is East Germany

Democracy is dead  dead as a dodo

But Cindy ain't no Erich Honecker. As dictator she's pretty pathetic

I woke up this morning to the following news:

I also picked this up. 

How ever would I know what is being talked about here because there will be nothing in the NZ media. 

The fascist revolution will not be televised.

23rd of August was the day NZ lost its free speech. Both bills to do with the bill of rights and hate speech have been amended in to the Terrorism Act 2002. Meaning any speech deemed to cause ''fear'' in the public can be charged as Terrorism.

Does anyone remember a liberal adage?

"I disagree with you (in fact I disagree strongly) but I will fight to the death for your right to say it"

Quite good, wasn't it?

Quite good, wasn't it? 

These people are not my ideological fellow travellers but they have stood up for what is right and have my respect.

The last nails have been driven into the coffin that contains what was once NZ democracy

Yesterday, Vinny Eastwood and Billy te Kahika were found guilty, I believe by a judge (no jury) of disobeying government regulations and gathering for a protest against the lockdown despite the fact that a much larger group (Black Lives Matter) were able to meet without masks or social distancing unharassed. 

They have yet to return for sentencing.

Here is a documentary about the day made by Vinny Eastwood

The Day Democracy Died, 18 August 2021, The Arrest of Billy TK & Vinny Eastwood

Here is the captive, lamestream media reporting.

Hosts of far-right media outlet Counterspin reportedly arrested and charged

The founder and hosts of a far-right media outlet, Kelvyn Alp​ and Hannah Spierer​, have reportedly been arrested and charged with distributing an “objectionable publication”.

A police spokesperson said two people, a man and woman, were arrested on Thursday night in Christchurch.

They did not name Alp and Spierer, but confirmed that arrests had been made following online posts saying Alp and Spierer had been detained.

In a statement, police said the two people were also arrested for failing to allow officers to search their computer.

They were bailed and will appear in the Christchurch District Court on August 31.

Here is a reaction

How Exceedingly Primitive......

 There are a small handful of brave people willing to speak out. Looking at the comments on Counterspin chat I was pretty disgusted. These poeple are brave in speaking Truth to Power which is more than I can say for the keyboard warriors who would scatter in the face of any threat. 

Here are two heroes

Here is Hannah talking to another fearless fighter, Monica Smit

This was an interesting response from across the other side of the world, from Scotland.

Counterspin media what's going on?

So, it is all about "objectionable material" that is the video livestream from He Who Cannot Be Named (Brendon Tarrant). 

I doubt that the people who ordered this action (and I can almost guarantee that the orders for this action came from the 9th Floor of the Beehive) are less worried about the effects the footage might have on sensitive souls and rather more on what it reveals - such as this was NOT the action of a lone gunman. 

He had accomplices. 

Who were they?

People imagine that the destruction of democracy began with covid. 

Far from it.

Back when this happened Max Igan did a bit of irrefutable analysis of the video which I recommend revisiting

A discussion on the vaccine between Billy te Kahika and Vinny Eastwood

 This is an edit that I have sweated over all day overcoming technical difficulties and extreme nervous tension of an hour-long discussion between Billy the Kahika and Vinny Eastwood. My aim is to edit out the more extraneous parts of the interview to bring out the most important and a salient points.

In the process I have repeated some parts of the discussion but rather than striving for perfection I have left them in.

An edited discussion between Billy te Kahika and Vinny 

Eastwood

One good section that I accidentally left out was a good 

explanation by Vinny of how you can tell whether an official 

is telling the truth or lying.

He tells the story of a woman who drove her car into a river 

killing her two children and then goes to the police with the 

story of a tragic accident. When challenged whether she 

killed them or not she replies "do I look like the sort of person

who would do that sort of thing".

So it is with politicians and officials; when asked a simple "yes- 

or no" question they can never answer but can only obfuscate.

That is what we are seeing.

Here is the full interview

Towards a 15 January lockdown in New Zealand

 Another broadcast with Billy te Kahika, unfortunately with the usual amount of padding from Vinny Eastwood (I don't have 1hr 55 min to spare).

The important information was:

• To reiterate the warnings they received before New Year of a lockdown around the15th January
• They have had numerous intelligence confirming this since then
• Under the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020 the emergency has to be renewed every 90 days. We are approaching that deadline now
• The UK response to the new mutation is being used as the template
• There will be a national demonstration outside the steps of Parliament this Thursday, 14 January.

Bad News With Vinny Eastwood

Kiwis are being warned if there was an outbreak of the UK strain of coronavirus in Auckland, a repeat of August's level 3 lockdown probably wouldn't be sufficient to contain it.

The B.1.1.7 variant - estimated to be at least 50 percent more infectious than others - is behind the UK's devastating third wave of COVID-19. It's put the country back into lockdown, with the daily death toll back above 1000 for the first time since April. 

"With the old strain if you went on to infect two people, now with this new strain you might infect three," University of Auckland physicist and disease modeller Shaun Hendy 

told Newshub. 

"It's certainly more serious and it could mean we could have a much more rapid 

spread - obviously that could pose challenges for the way we control the disease."

While it doesn't sound like much, the growth is exponential. For example, if a 

person on average infects two others, after five transmission chains 32 people are 

infected; if they infect three, it's 243 - nearly eight times more. 

A handful of B.1.1.7 cases have been picked up at the border here. Half of the new

 cases reported at Thursday's 1pm update were of the new variant. 

"We know there's still risks at our borders with the increase in numbers overseas. 

We're certainly still at risk," said Hendy. "We need to keep scanning, turn on your 

Bluetooth in the COVID Tracer app and use masks wherever you can." 

If we aren't vigilant - and the numbers suggest we're falling short, with only 

a fraction of adults regularly using the app - we risk another economically 

devastating level 4 lockdown. 

"Potentially a level 3 lockdown would not necessarily be effective. It possibly 

wouldn't be able to eliminate the disease - so potentially what we're looking at is 

using a level 4 lockdown," said Hendy.

"You just have to look at what's happening overseas to see just how lucky we are 

in New Zealand - it's very easy to be complacent here because life looks normal. 

But it's not normal for people overseas... [Don't] go to work if you have any symptoms at 

all."

Analysis of the new variant and how it would fare under various lockdown scenarios by University of Calgary researcher Malgorzata Gasperowicz found while a New 

Zealand level 4 would work, it could potentially take three times longer to stamp out than the 

original strain. New Zealand spent just over a month at level 4 in March and April, 

and another few weeks at level 3.

But if we move fast as soon as the first locally transmitted cases are found - like in 

August - Hendy says it shouldn't take that long. New Zealand was recording double-digit 

numbers of cases in March before the alert levels were even made public, let alone enacted - 

but in August, Auckland went into level 3 the day after the first handful of cases 

were detected. 

"The good thing is we know that level 4 is very effective and based on what we 

learnt from March and April, we think that would be good enough to eliminate the 

disease," said Dr Hendy. 

New Zealand's strict approach to COVID-19 has been lauded worldwide, resulting

 in fewer deaths and better economic recovery than in nations which either moved 

too slow or not hard enough.

Vinny Eastwood with Max Igan

Prior to 2016 I was safe because the "Left" was talking about all this - they called it globalisation - now they are all for it.  The criticism comes from the Right (globalism, "socialism", Communism") and they have a different language that still leaves me cold.

Vinny Eastwood with Cross the Rubicon and Max Igan

OPINION PIECE

Why is Vinny Eastwood such 

a twit?

Usually, my venom is directed at the sophisticated climate change denial of the mainstream that, one suspects, is more interested in their own agenda in trying to maintain that ponzi scheme that is called "the economy".

But today, with more bemusement than anger (which is what I usually experience),  I want to address the lunatics.

Prolific New Zealander, You Tuber, Vinny Eastwood has been finding his voice on Facebook telling people what they should and shouldn't believe.

A lot of climate change deniers ask "do you BELIEVE in climate change.This reveals a lot about them because they place their BELIEFS higher than objective evidence.

A bit of background. 

I placed the following on Facebook which with a modicum of understanding speaks for itself.

Yesterday I woke to the following from Mr Eastwood (with my response)

I'm not much into Facebook "discussions" these days and I wasn't even going to mention it for the fact that Mr. Eastwood came back for a second time.

He didn't really need to comment at all (he's not at all equipped to do so really) but he did, so I will respond a bit more fully here.

Can you find any evidence here?  I can't

If I had to take things to their illogical conclusion I would think that Vinny is implicating Mother Nature in a plot to "destroy national sovereignty, carbon tax all human activity and move humans into tightly-controlled and surveilled (note the spelling) cities".

It really does appear that preposterous to me.

I happen to BELIEVE that much of what he says above is by-and-large true to some extent but that is my BELIEF.

Usually I come to such conclusions through some insight or other based often on primary observations but they remain my own theories which I do share.

However, without labouring the point I usually make the distinction between theory (or hypothesis) and what I know to be the case.

I have never ever been convinced by listening to people talk about this (least of all, Vinny Eastwood).

Some things are new and I will never stop playing around with ideas.

However, some things I am very convinced about to the extent I KNOW they are true.  I have been looking at climate change for 30 years and have known about the greenhouse effect since the age of 11 (thanks to a study of astronomy).

So when I hear someone try to convince me that objective processes in Nature are part of some "Agenda 21" plot I have to conclude the person is either phenomenally ignorant, a lunatic or perhaps, a troll.

So after all this, after the above (and on the same day) he comes up with the following I have to laugh.

THE NATURE OF EVIDENCE AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES

This brings me to the nature of evidence.

There is direct evidence, which comes from documents (say, of the type released by Wikileaks and then there is circumstantial evidence which is often sufficient to INFER something.

There is nothing wrong with amassing circumstantial evidence - a sufficient amount can lead one to reach correct conclusions, especially when taken alongside direct evidence.


It has been my modus operandi for 8 years - why I cover extreme weather events.

However, the problem comes - and I observe this time after time (after time),with those one might label as a conspiracy theorist - when one takes one bit of circumstantial evidence, often linked with initial assumptions and uses it  along with other bits of circumstantial evidence to form, not a theory, but a conclusions from which they cannot be shaken.

When confronted with direct evidence like the above from the Arctic the ultimate response is to then claim because they KNOW their beliefs are true that the data is faked and all scientists are involved in the "conspiracy".

There is plenty of stuff on the internet that will tell you 'up' is 'down', 'black is white' - the ice is increasing when it is decreasing, or "sea levels are not rising,they are sinking" (the politician Richard Prebble said this in the media a few years ago.

If I wanted to engage in innuendo I could say Vinny Eastwood is in good company with Richard Prebble; he does seem to be in good company with the fossil fuel companies.

At the age of 63 and having had a university education I reckon that I was taught how to think and equally important, how to deal with evidence.

To my great chagrin people younger than me do not demonstrate much ability to handle evidence. Still worse, most of the people I come into contact with communicate in ways that I have to reread at least once to know what they are talking about. Some can scarcely string two words together.

I don't really mind any of this. It only starts to bother me when they try to foist their ill-formed ideas on me - part of the reason I dislike Facebook so much.

Some might call this arrogance. I call it a confidence in my own abilities honed over several years with great work.

I have always had some affection for Vinny Eastwood but have never had enough time in the day to listen to any of his interviews through to the end.

I covered just about everything he had to say after the March 15 shootings in Christchurch and appreciated his contributions - especially interviewing witnesses down in Christchurch even if the questions were leading ones.

However, its saddens me to say that the great revelations came from an Australian, Max Igan who had the skills to do an analysis frame-by-frame of the video.

This did not come from a New Zealander but from an Australian. Australia (perhaps more because of its population and not because of its superior education system) has thrown up great analysts and social critics such as John Pilger and Julian Assange (and I could go on with other examples).

New Zealand has produced a tiny handful of excellent investigative journalists - but then I have never seen Vinny show any interest in them. 

Does he think his material is 'superior' to theirs?

VINNY AND TOMMY ROBINSON

And just today Vinny has come up with another whopper.

An objective look at the politics of Tommy Robinson would confirm his proximity to Israel - that comes from his experiences growing up in Luton.

I hate Israel a lot more than Mr. Eastwood but I can distinguish between politics and revelations of Muslim grooming gangs and radicalisations inside the mosques - in other words, what is broadly true and what is not.

The question for me is how "controlled opposition" within a state that cannot dare utter a single word against the zionist state can end up in Belmarsh prison.

The term, "controlled opposition" will never pass my lips.

What, I wonder,  will Mr. Eastwood say in the event Tommy Robinson is beaten to death by Muslim terrorists?

My suspicion is that this (or any other part of reality) will NOT get Vinny Eastwood to modifiy his firmly (and I mean, firmly) - held beliefs in any way.

For me one sign of a truth teller is the ability to modify (or even change) one's assumptions in the face of new evidence.

****

Finally, a bit of free advertising from Vinny.  Here is what he thinks is wrong with the world
