Let us imagine some at some point in the future mRNA immunotherapies prove useful in certain cancer types.

In absolutely no way would that impact on the truth about covid vaccines which were ineffective.

These were given to healthy people.

Some were sick, some permanently disabled and some died as a result.

Sick people need medicine.
It is a different ethical situation.

I'm confident it's not a conscious decision. I honestly think it's a lack of imagination that's the issue.

People literally can not imagine a system as evil or a lie as big as what sits before them.

[Catherine Austin Fitts @austin_fit76995]

We are living in a time where evil is fully exposed, and people still refuse to see it.

The central bankers print trillions to fund endless wars, poison the food supply with toxins, and engineer "pandemics" to lock us down. Digital IDs, CBDCs, black budgets siphoning $21 trillion, it's all out in the open now. The data is there. The math doesn't lie.

Yet the spell holds. Comfortable slaves scroll past the truth, chasing distractions while the plantation tightens. Wake up. Break the trance. Your freedom depends on seeing what's right in front of you.

We didn’t realise the NZ Herald now thought that printing verbal diarrhoea was their new standard for so-called ‘opinion pieces’ – maybe it’s just the fact that Jonathon Ayling is clearly a mouth-breather and they felt sorry for him.

Either way, at the very least they should have fact-checked what he was saying before allowing it to be printed.

Ayling used a half-page spread to make it obvious to all and sundry that his motivation for writing his ‘opinion piece’ was that he is very hurt personally or more likely politically aggrieved. It always happens when New Zealand First is winning – the pasty incel losers come out from their mother’s basements to hide behind a keyboard and start crying into their soy lattes.

He attempts to accuse New Zealand First of not being a socially conservative party by saying that we supported the liberalising of abortion, euthanasia, and strangely uses the example of the initial government decisions when the pandemic hit.

Only a four-flushing moron wouldn’t know that when the abortion legislation was voted on in parliament it was an individual conscience vote, not party vote, and one which I voted against.

Only a half-wit dunce wouldn’t know that the legalisation of euthanasia was not decided in parliament, it was decided by the people of New Zealand via a referendum. It was New Zealand First who demanded that referendum so that it wasn’t decided by politicians - it’s called ‘democracy’ Mr Ayling.

Assuming Mr Ayling is neither a four-flushing moron nor a half-wit dunce, for him to use those examples as ‘proof’ that New Zealand First is not a socially conservative party, only shows he must’ve known those facts before he wrote his nonsense - it will be up to the readers of the Herald to come to their own conclusion about what that then means.

The most astonishing part of his ‘opinion piece’ is when Mr Ayling decided to criticise the way New Zealand First is utilising Members Bills and the ballot – specifically how we keep adding pieces of legislation via our four backbench MPs and rotating them when our party policy and election manifesto keeps on growing.

Putting aside the obvious fact that we have just had one of those socially conservative bills drawn from the ballot and now will be read in the House, the reason it is astonishing is that Mr Ayling himself, when he was the head of the Free Speech Union, actually contacted us and gave us a bill to put into the ballot as a Members Bill.

It seems the irony is lost on him that he is now complaining about the very process he was gladly a part of. Or maybe it is not lost on him and he is just the definition of the word that starts with an “H” and ends in “ypocrit”. The fact that at the time he fell over himself to thank us for doing that for the Free Speech Union makes it even more poetic.

This type of pathetic baseless attack full of misleading missives and lies does not surprise our party one bit. It just gives us confidence that what we are doing is working and that we are winning. We are packing the halls around this country and people like Mr Ayling clearly don’t like it because he votes for his mates in another political party.

There is one thing he did get right – we are a nationalist party, and we are a populist party. Newsflash Mr Ayling, what New Zealand First is doing is very popular – and what political party wouldn’t want to be popular.

Whether you like it or not Mr Ayling, New Zealand First is the only socially conservative, nationalist, patriotic party in parliament - and we aren’t going anywhere but up.

Good luck on your newfound long journey ahead to try and find some relevance – maybe you should have the courage to take the risk like the rest of us did and run for office, then we will see how many people would be foolish enough to listen to your vacuous ‘opinion’.

@MRobertsQLD "Price gouging" is in fact how a free market fixes a supply issue: make it incredibly profitable to sell, moving more capital to fill the gap.

Preventing this healing mechanism prolongs the crisis.

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:

You buy a Pokémon card for $50.

Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.

The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."

Government: "Don't care. Pay up."

You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.

Next month? That card drops back to $50.

Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.

That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...

Now picture this.

Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.

But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.

So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.

Gone.

To pay a tax on money that was never real.

Now picture the opposite.

Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.

Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.

He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.

Does the government give him his money back?
No.

Does the government give him his truck back?
No.

Does the government care?
No.

They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.

You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.

You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.

It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.

They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.

There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

Dr Caroline Wheeler is an NZ doctor who has been unable to practice medicine for 5 years.

Why?

Because of a looming disciplinary hearing (looming for five years), for the crime of

Prescribing IVERMECTIN to patients for prevention and treatment of Covid 19.

Not one single patient complaint

How is it that

Australia
UK
France
and now Spain

Countries that are seemingly 'independent' from each other, all come up with the same idea to ban social media for under 16s at the same time?

Must be a coincidence.

Important information from Mark Steele about ULEZ cameras in London.
The people need to know that TFL has overspent by £6.5k per camera i.e. by purchasing units costing 13 times more than required. As per TFL's claim in open court that "it's just an anpr camera" and now with the Tribunal having accepted that, then, if it is all that's needed to do the job ie read numberplates, that's a big problem for them. Whoever drew up the specification for procurement, agreed the tender, and then signed the contract with the supplier for equipment far more sophisticated than required, overpaying by 13 times more, has to be guilty of financial irregularities, at the very least. As well as malfeasance in public office and, I would suggest, corruption. If the specification/order states ANPR cameras, the manufacturer/ supplier must know less sophisticated equipment is all the job requires, so what's gone on there? Now that you have the Tribunal accepting TFL's evidence, the Police need to raid TFL's offices and seize the paperwork. In trying to shake you off, the Tribunal's decision leaves TFL exposed. The police also need to question the engineers fitting them, as they must know they are different. TFL will have formal procurement and financial regulations. Infringements are almost always regarded as very serious. TFL can't have it both ways.

They were fired for NOT following the Science.

There is NO science for giving newborns HepB when the mother is negative.

There is NO science for mandating 6 month olds get COVID vaccines.

@SecKennedy is doing important work to make our vaccine schedule make sense and follow science and he should be applauded for it .
