Why Pauline and I Have Chosen Not to Take the C19 Vaccines: [My] Defence Beforehand.

Image
  [I realise many friends and family are confused about why Pauline and I are unvaccinated; on a first look it would appear irrational. I hope this goes some way towards explaining why. None of the below is meant to influence anything you do, none of this is advice in anyway at all: we all make our own way through this; albeit pity about the ruthless coercion falling on we unvaccinated by Ardern’s government and the hysteria they have deliberately created around the unvaccinated, and in some places in the below a little bitterness has reared its head (sorry). It is what it is. If nothing else, if you get bored on the way through, make sure you read Addendum 1 on what 95% vaccine efficacy means: it’s an eye-opener .  Note, until December 2015 I kept an old blog Life Behind the IRon Drape - this post is irrevocably founded in the classical liberal philosophy of that old blog. Nevertheless I've decided to keep this post separate and as a stand-alone: there will be no other p...

New Zealand's Day of Disgrace - The Violence of a Mob Against Posie Parker & The Death of Free Speech. [Plus Where the Hell Were Police.]

Image
  Thanks to modern technology we all saw what happened yesterday: a vicious mob fuelled with hatred over the previous week by our media, particularly a columnist for the Herald, and by sitting MP's in government, seriously assaulted Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, aka Posie Parker, and a small group of defenceless women who were at 'Let Women Speak' to peacefully tell their stories, while our police force, I now have to assume a heavily politicised police force, simply watched on. I have no words after such a draining day as yesterday. It's very strange: I lived through Covid unvaccinated with the ostracisation and all that entailed, I watch as  co-Maori-governance is turning NZ into  New Zimbabwe , but strangely I find the scenes from yesterday some type of 'new' gestalt for myself: a final understanding and change to my thought that is incontrovertible at a gut level.  All I want to do in this piece is offer some thoughts out of the disgrace that occurred in Auckla...

$12.8 Billion Hard-Earned Tax Money That Could Be Used to Rebuild Gone - The Arrogance of our Politicians.

Image
 For me, this is the story that broke the proverbial camel's back, quote: The Government raised New Zealand's 2030 Paris Agreement carbon-slashing target and reaching that target would require paying other countries to slash emissions on New Zealand's behalf. Treasury estimates this will cost $12.8 billion by the end of the decade . The Indian Government this week issued an emergency ruling that all their coal fired power stations work at maximum capacity to meet consumption demand. China continues to open two coal fired power stations every week. This $12.8 billion of our tax money to be sent overseas to make our egomaniacal  politicians look virtuous will change NOTHING regards the climate, even if you believe the bunk about CO2. We all know that: on their own terms for their shonky science they know that. Minister David Parker and that conman James Shaw may as well burn this huge amount of money and sacrifice a virgin on the pyre akin to their near religious belief in c...
