So proud to see all you Kiwis standing up against tyranny, and the Canadians too.
Over the past two years nearly all governments aside from a few(Japan and Sweden come to mind) have become tyrannical and began imposing state-rule like the West never thought possible. I'm someone who has been expecting this(some might call me a conspiracy-theorist), but even I couldn't believe it was happening like this and to all of us.
I've heard a lot of people justify getting the shot to save their jobs. They say "I've got children, a family to provide for.", but the reality is if we don't put these governments(and corporations that often control our govt's, pharmaceutical conglomerates especially) BACK IN THEIR PLACE then what kind of future will we hand to the children?
And if we do get the results we're looking for, don't rest assured. Be ever watchful because this sort of thing doesn't happen by accident. Whether they seized an opportunity or caused this on purpose, they were far too eager to throw aside human rights and dignity, hell even morality and all compassion.
Stand-up, and be counted among the dissidents.
Yes, time to stand up and be counted. The police have shown their true colours in NZ today :-(
I don't know anything about NZ police, but if they are anything like police in the US they are blindly loyal to each other and not to the people whom they serve.
They will use the excuse that they are just following orders, and give no thought to the fact that after WWII that was the excuse so many SS officers gave. It did not matter then, and shouldn't matter now. They need to follow their conscience if they know what they're enforcing is wrong.
The most shameful displays of police I've seen since Covid started were in Australia and Canada.
Yes, Australia was particularly alarming as they are our near neighbours. Yesterday there were some horrifying instances of police brutality. But today they stayed right back. I think that we are a small country and although some of the police showed themselves to be bullies, particularly targetig the women and children, many were very disturbed by what they saw. Every day has had a different flavour, and I'll keep trying to report each day.
