"ARDERN HAS BECOME SELF-ABSORBED, CRUEL AND DANGEROUS"

"From saint to sinner" is the headline. But PM Jacinda Ardern was a sinner from the start, when she smuggled in her evil Abortion Law Act in the Trojan horse of a fake pandemic.

"What’s particularly galling for me is the mind control Ardern has exerted over the population" : it's called mass formation psychosis.

"In voting for Mother Teresa, I unwittingly ushered Caligula into office."  

 It was a standard Facebook post: pictures from a small farewell party in London. An evening of dancing, mild drunkenness and high frivolity, with certain guests rolling about on the carpet. Nothing Dionysus and his maenads would object to, but neither would it have shifted Caligula’s needle. 

The first likes trickled in from UK friends; even a few hearts were lovingly tossed from those tagged in the post. But by the time the sun rose on the other side of the globe, a certain sanctimony had seeped into the comments. Ah, the dawn chorus from New Zealand – the country to which I was due to return – where the wine had mostly definitely soured.  

Not again?!? Should you be travelling? How many tours have you done? asked one snarky friend, who hadn’t been able to leave in years. Gruelling. 

Gruelling indeed. A word more accurately reflecting the ordeal I was about to face on arrival in New Zealand: an extended stay in one of the country’s military-managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facilities. A hard landing perhaps? Ironically, a blessing. On day two of my incarceration, the government suspended all further allocations, making it impossible to enter the country.

Initially, the MIQ system was introduced by Jacinda Ardern’s government in April 2020 as a temporary measure to limit the risk of importing Covid-19.

It seemed a sound idea.

Nup. Never. What should have been introduced was ivermectin, hydroxocholoquine, vitamin D. But they would have worked. And they wouldn't have made money for Big Pharma.   

Shortly after, a secondary market arose that saw profiteers and their army of bots scooping up limited quarantine slots and selling them on at a profit to stranded Kiwis, desperate to get home. It also failed to address the needs of the elderly, the disabled, basically anyone who lacked the lightning-fast reactions needed to grab slots whenever the government saw fit to release them.

Basically, all the people most likely to die of Covid. Note 'of Covid'. Not 'with Covid'. Tthe reality which hyper-inflated the Covid stats is that everyone who dies, no matter why, who has tested positive for Covid - even if shot dead by police - goes down as a 'Covid death'.

Now entering its second year, the system underwent a major redesign in mid-2021. Touted as more equitable and invulnerable to fraudsters, the “improved” online allocation process employed a randomised approach whereby lucky recipients would be picked from a holding pen of hopefuls. 

 Never forgetting it also employs a multitude of keyboard cowboys paid by taxpayers.

In essence “a lottery of human misery”, MIQ is now the subject of a judicial review filed in the High Court by advocacy group Grounded Kiwis, alleging Ardern’s government acted unreasonably and unlawfully in the design of a cruel system that breaches the Bill of Rights. 

Cruelty is the hallmark of the Ardern regime, crucially the cruelty of killing babies right up to and during birth without anaesthetics and leaving any infants who survive that to die uncared for. Even now, Ardern adorers don't know that, or pretend not to know. Or simply don't care. 

They needn’t look further than me for living proof of an unreasonable system. Even before the January suspension, it was an acknowledged impossibility to obtain a slot in MIQ. And yet I’d hit the jackpot three times in six months. If only I were entering a lottery with a prize pool, we’d have been necking Cristal at the London bacchanal. 

Not a week later, a story surfaced in the international press telling of a heavily pregnant Kiwi journalist stranded in Afghanistan who, when her repeated appeals for an emergency MIQ slot were rejected, was left with no alternative but to seek help from the Taliban. The Taliban!  The “brutal irony” as Charlotte Bellis spelt it out, was that, having questioned this oppressive regime about their treatment of women, she now found herself asking the same thing of her own liberal government.

This story, with its front-page tabloid appeal and covered in this blog, may have been the kick-off for Ardern's slide in the polls.  

Largely Covid-free, New Zealand has been viewed as a paradise for much of the last two years.

Largely Covid-free because no other country is so distant from the rest of the world and few countries have better healthcare (overlooking the small matter of the modern massacre of the innocents in our hospitals), food and lifestyle.  

Jacinda Ardern, already considered by many the Mother Teresa of the Antipodes, excelled in the early stages, acting decisively and with compassion.

A woman who wants to murder babies has no true compassion. 

Appealing to the population to act as one, her “Team of Five Million” approach did wonders for national unity at a time when most other leaders were floundering and failing. No wonder I voted for her – twice. 

No wonder we're enduring Ardern's second term, when intelligent women can fall for her sickening propaganda.  

But times have changed. Once saintly, Jacinda now appears merely silly, having led New Zealand to a place that looks more like a smug cul-de-sac than a nation wholly reliant on overseas tourism and trade. Then again, long-term strategic thinking was never a feature of her government’s Covid response, with “elimination” taking precedence over vaccination for much of 2021.  

She never was a saint, and now she's far from silly. She's following Klaus Schwab's agenda for a New World Order, the Great Reset.- "a program of surveillance and eugenics designed by technocratic atheists" (British academic Dr Niall McCrae).. 

Evil genius Klaus Schwab

Not that anyone in New Zealand is really focusing on what she got wrong. Ardern’s $55 million (£27m) sweetener in the form of the Public Interest Journalism Fund has enabled her government to exert tremendous influence over private sector media outlets, as well as tightly control-messaging through state media channels. So much so that any coverage critical of Ardern now originates from pundits in Australia or Britain. Most recently, opposition leader David Seymour had to turn to the Daily Mail to get an opinion piece printed. This is when silly starts looking sinister.

Sinister she was from the start: a sinister sinner. 

If democracy is built on the ability to question those in power and hold them to account, then the Kiwi media are wholly complicit in Ardern’s swing from immaculate heart to autocrat.

We apologise for the blasphemy and will pray a Hail Mary for Grochowicz.  .  

The major opposition party National have only made their job easier by offering nothing more headline-grabbing than leadership squabbles. Then again, the opposition’s perceived infighting might just be the PM’s grand media bribe in action. Gosh, she’s good! 

Some suggest that Ardern’s government is seeking to restrict entry into New Zealand for another twelve months, thereby disabling the one million expat voters effectively locked out of next year’s election after an absence of three years.

If Grochowicz is typical of Kiwis overseas (and why shouldn't she be) then of course Ardern doesn't want them coming home to vote her out of office. That's one of the reasons she, Dr Doomfield, Pinky Wiles, Dr Betty et al and the outrageously propagandist TvOne "News' keep hyping Omicron. Be very frightened, sheople. And the pity of it is, the sheople are frightened. Scared out of their wits. 

Only time will tell if this sort of conspiracy theory offers an accurate representation of the depths our leader will plumb in order to maintain power.

Ardern is a bottom-feeder. The depths are her natural habitat. 

In the meantime, New Zealanders will continue to look across the ditch at our Aussie neighbours and act smug.

Australia’s hard line on borders may have been thrown into stark relief for most Britons with the recent Novak Djokovic debacle, but the tragedies have been piling up for years. Or rather washing up on their shores. Remember John Howard’s disgraceful handling of the Tampa affair?

For years New Zealanders have sniggered about Australia’s current oafish leader. But maybe the joke’s on us

When over 400 rescued Afghan boat people were held aboard a Norwegian container ship in conditions no better than a nineteenth-century prison hulk, denied basic hygiene, medical care and entry into Australian waters? And while we’re robbing people of their human dignity, look no further than Australia’s shocking treatment of detainees on Manus Island, where many preferred to take their own lives rather than suffer the psychological misery of open-ended incarceration. 

Never forget either, the appalling treatment meted out by Aussie police and press to Cardinal George Pell. 

For years New Zealanders have sniggered about Australia’s current oafish leader. But maybe the joke’s on us. At least you can hear Scott Morrison’s stolid footfall as he sweeps aside refugees, asylum seekers and tennis stars. Our PM’s talent for stealthy manoeuvres against her own people makes her far more dangerous. 

Nobody can see the silent assassin at work next door; nor the mental health crisis her government’s Covid response has unleashed on New Zealand, where youth suicide rates are already the highest in the developed world. It certainly doesn’t fit the image of the leader I voted for – the young woman breastfeeding her new born at the UN General Assembly, the compassionate leader who offered succour to survivors of 2019’s Christchurch massacre. Here was a rare thing! A leader who understood both grand gestures and nuance.

 

She always was "self-absorbed, cruel and dangerous" 

 

A leader who understands PR, public image management and photo opportunities. There are many who believe the Christchurch massacre was stage-managed and as the hideous truth about the Covid v*ccines becomes more and more apparent, what 'conspiracy theories' are now beyond belief? Hmmm?

Of course, there is nothing nuanced about Ardern’s shameless Covid scare tactics. They’ve worked a treat, keeping the public vehemently opposed to opening the country’s borders, and compliant in the face of tyrannical restrictions even as the rest of the world is emerging from crisis. Especially when combined with the bread of endlessly extended wage subsidies; and circuses in the form of a parade of overseas DJs, sports teams and stage shows that have breezed in without needing to enter the dreaded MIQ lottery.

Had Omicron not happened, she might not have managed to keep it up. In the event, the threat of a new variant provided a perfect cattle prod to corral the highly vaccinated but docile population back into submission at the end of an idyllic summer.

How extremely fortunate is Covid, Delta and Omicron for Ardern and other totalitarian governments worldwide. They do indeed need such scary stuff to keep the sheep in the yards, waiting for the trucks to the freezing works. Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano, who blew the whistle on 'Pope Francis' and his protection of sex abuser Cardinal (now Mr) McCarrick, describes the viruses as a criminal pretext by a globalist oligarchy (Bill Gates, Klaus Schwab, Bergoglio and Co) to enslave humanity.

The Pope and the Plan

Her latest diversion has worked. Terrifying the Team of Five Million, and focusing their fear and loathing on outsiders importing pestilence into paradise, is a highly effective strategy – if a little lacking in originality. Despots for thousands of years have deployed such methods to distract their subjects from something infinitely more damaging to long-term wellbeing – an unchallenged leader. 

Ardern’s lack of transparency runs deep. One example, the He Puapua report currently before her Cabinet, was hidden from former coalition partner, New Zealand First. Finally outed as a result of an Official Information Act request, the report recommends a raft of co-governance structures along racial lines.

Ardern prevaricates. She lies. In her teeth. 

Critics now claim the government is advancing a separatist agenda under the guise of social justice without public consultation. So much for the Team of Five Million, some might say; meanwhile the media downplay such wild suggestions and gleefully report on the Covid chaos in every country in the world but our own. 

"Gleefully"? More like menacingly. Like, take your medicine or else this could happen to you, to New Zealand. 

So if it’s paranoia, what should we make of the law sneaked through one Saturday in November that granted iwi (tribes) permission to block public highways at will – a law the government wouldn’t admit existed, until several weeks later? Or the government’s farcical consultative process for their Three Waters plan, which totally ignored the vehement and unanimous opposition from local councils to the seizure and centralising of their infrastructure water assets to be 50% controlled by 17% of the population?

 

What’s particularly galling for me is the mind control Ardern has exerted over the population

Already, we are witnessing the corrosive impact of these policies and plans on national unity; and yet these issues and many others are being decided behind closed doors, with no regard for democratic process. Governments do this all the time, right? At least, oppressive regimes do. 

What’s particularly galling for me is the mind control Ardern has exerted over the population. Coming back here, I’m shocked at how few have lost their faith, and baffled by the self-congratulatory mood that pervades the country.

The occupation of Parliament grounds will surely have cheered Grochowicz up. may be o 

After two years of sermonising from Ardern and nowhere to drink other than from the government fountainhead, New Zealanders have turned into a nation of self-congratulatory, cavorting maenads.

"Yep, yep" - that's the way it is. "The government fountainhead" of truth has usurped the place in this country that rightfully belongs to the Church: it gushes forth its propaganda, its prevarications, in the vacuum created by the Catholic Church having abandoned her Spouse, Jesus Christ, and her wolves in sheep's clothing, the Catholic bishops, having abandoned their flocks.

You have only to see the sheople in the streets, in their masks, dutifully scanning in, avoiding one another like death. No smiles, just eyebrow waves. They are "distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd" (Mt 9:36). It's pitiful. 

Mea culpa.  In voting for Mother Teresa, I unwittingly ushered Caligula into office. The parallels are there: noble and moderate for a period, admired all over the world “from the rising to the setting sun”.

"From the rising of the sun to its setting, great is the name of the Lord" - Psalm 113: ironic that Grochowicz should choose a scriptural illustration. The Catholic references scattered through her story and her name suggest that Grochowicz is - or was - a Catholic. 

Our esteemed leader has become self-absorbed, cruel and dangerous. 

If she were a Catholic, if she had kept the faith she would not have voted for Jacinda Ardern even once. If she knew Christ and His Church she would have known Ardern from the beginning to be "self-absorbed, cruel and dangerous".

Where’s it all leading? I’d love to know, but getting to the truth in New Zealand is a tricky business nowadays.

It's not tricky, it's simple. To get to the truth in New Zealand, London or anywhere you need only head for Christ in His Church. Only in New Zealand now you'll find a sign in the church foyer denying entrance to the faithful..  

I prefer my chances at the London bacchanal – there at least I can be assured in vino veritas!
