Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is quite deliberately transforming the country fondly remembered by older readers as 'Godzone' into a sinister dystopia made to measure for the World Economic Forum's Fourth Industrial Revolution, and she is achieving it by means of satan's age-old ruse of lies.
She told her first big whopper right at the beginning of her first term in government. Her dastardly Abortion Law Act enshrined in New Zealand's statutes the worst lie ever - that human life has no value. Right after that she told the Great Big Covid Lie, that 'thousands would die' if she didn't lock us all up and throw away the key.
And when she persuaded our gullible Church hierarchy to repeat her lies she ensured that thousands did die spiritually, losing eternal life by being deprived of the Sacraments.
Christians and Catholics in New Zealand today, be very much assured of the truth given us by St Paul: "Our wrestling is not against flesh and blood; but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the world of this darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in the high places (Eph 6:12).
Catholic writer Amy Brooke (referred to, in a unintended backhanded compliment by an outfit called Public Address, as 'mad old Agnes-Mary Brooke') takes a bit of an inventory of Jacinda Ardern's more public lies in the Spectator. She omits to mention the most colossal, if not fundamental: the canard that the Pfizer's so-called 'vaccine' would prevent transmission. Mind you, she didn't have that particular porkie on her own.
We should make no bones about the fact that lying about the truth of issues for political and personal advantage is a great badness. It is even worse with defenceless children targeted by activists using fear tactics to enlist their support – as with the ‘climate change emergency’ nonsense.
One wonders whether Brooke would agree that 'climate change emergency' nonsense actually makes perfect sense. In reality, 'climate change' is God's divine chastisement for the sins of mankind.
And if there is a distinction between badness and sheer evil, it reaches its apex now in regard to two other issues.
Predominant is the lying by hierarchies persuading youngsters they can choose to become male or female. This canard strikes at the very personhood, the mental and emotional stability of particularly vulnerable individuals. Yet Professor Robert Winston, scientist and surgeon, is undeniably correct, asserting, ‘I will say this categorically. You cannot change your sex… it is there in every single cell of your body.’ The physical mutilation of children, disregarding this, can be regarded as criminal, its consequences devastating for so many.
With the apparent passing of the age of reason comes the insidious nastiness of identity politics, with individuals believing themselves superior if they have a Maori ancestor. With Jacinda Ardern’s government instructing all government departments to prioritise impenetrable Maori phraseology in their communications – renaming our institutions so their actual function becomes unintelligible – the deliberate promotion of divisive racism is well underway. Yet the worth of individuals has no relation to their ethnic background. And who can possibly defend instructions to all government departments to teach‘white privilege’, with the aim of inducing guilt and shame among non-Maori children in schools – supposedly because of some imaginary privilege they have from being descended from Europeans?
Public servants are now required to calculate their ‘white privilege score’. Not only schoolchildren, but educationists are undergoing similar bullying, teachers told their role is ‘to end oppression’. The all-pervasive promotion of white-is-bad/brown-is-good emanates from Ardern’s government, connived at by our media.
For whose benefit is this country increasingly being destabilised?
The benefit of the global elite.
Confused children are suffering mental health issues, and a tidal wave of propaganda and straight-out lies is washing over the gullible. Take, for instance, a recent address by a politically active young woman to seven schools, very probably herself believing the untruths she emoted to her audience concerning a supposed historical incident, saying she would never forget the immense grief, ‘the tears rolling down the elders’ cheeks’ when telling how innocent women, children and elderly people were ‘murdered and sent from their homes’.
Ignoring the fact that such a sequence of events would need to have been reversed, the evidence suggests none of these murderous acts were committed at Rangiaowhia village, not one innocent slaughtered. What is now acknowledged as a disgraceful lie was, as well-respected historian Bruce Moon illustrates, concocted by rebels furious at being outwitted by the brilliant humanitarian, General Cameron. Similarly, Piers Seed’s new book, Hoanai’s Last Stand –The Real Story of Rangiaowhia, is a must. When the principals of the schools that hosted this emotional, untrue account of this incident had it pointed out by Bruce Moon, asking for it to be corrected, not one reply was received.
Is anyone still surprised? One of the most shameful aspects of the constant lies told is the connivance of those to whose advantage it is to keep their heads down.
We therefore owe much to those refusing to be intimidated, as with Emeritus Professor Greg Newbold, who submitted a fine article to a local paper. Rather than print it, the editor instead ran yet another on the supposed importance of learning to speak more Maori.
John MacDonald’s Literacy in New Zealand does not stop at English looks forward to when all schools will teach Maori language as a core subject, when competence in te reo will be essential at all levels within the public sector, and even in private areas such as law, medicine and engineering.
However, Dr Newbold observed that ‘as someone who has just finished a 32-year teaching career at Canterbury University, I can see some major problems in this proposal.’ He pointed out that teaching 64,000 teachers to speak Maori properly and providing resources for them to instruct 750,000 children would be immensely time-consuming and expensive, that he himself spent two years studying Maori at university level and there is no way he would consider himself a competent Maori speaker.
Proficiency in any language takes years of study, constant immersion in its culture and practice. If all teachers were forced to become fully competent in today’s Maori, to impart that skill in the classroom would have to be at the expense of other subjects.
The shocking decline in numeracy and English literacy standards has been well publicised, and Dr Newbold adds, ‘This was a problem I faced constantly where second and third-year students did not understand the basics of English grammar, and could not even put proper sentences together. Directing time away from learning essential English literaryskills will only compound this problem.’ He points out that ‘New Zealand is not a bicultural nation: it is multicultural, and in terms of career advantages, competence in the language of our major trading partners and political allies is essential.’
And is it not reasonable to enquire why Mandarin, Tagalog and Indian for example, are not required languages in our schools along with Te Reo? Why are Maori advantaged in this way by a mere accident of birthplace?
‘With English at the fore, speaking Maori provides no career advantages on the global scale. Moreover, shortages in areas like health, teaching, engineering and so on are well known. Requiring te reo as an essential prerequisite to these areas of employment would undoubtedly stifle the influx of essential workers to this country and worsen our skills deficit.’ Alternatively, if in future the knowledge of te reo could automatically push a candidate to the front of a job queue – as was suggested would be desirable – highly qualified engineers, medical specialists, and others would be shunted aside, basically only because of others’ qualifications in Maori. The result would be institutionalised dumbing-down, and systemic incompetence at high levels – a disaster for our country.
The highly relevant points Dr Newbold makes are obviously valid. However, we have already reached a stage of disastrous incompetence throughout this country with Lenin’s ‘useful fools’ enthusiastically supporting the attacks on our once most valued institutions and customs by our now neo-Marxist government hierarchies. But what of F.A. Hayek’s contention that, ‘In government, the scum rises to the top’?
"Therefore take unto you the armour of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and to stand in all things perfect. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of justice, And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace" - Eph 6:11-15.

Thank you Julia! So many lies, so much compliance, so little thought...so thanks for yours and Greg Newbold's invaluable contributions to recognising the current socially dystopian Republic of Aotearoa

ReplyDeleteWhy does your picture of Ardern remind me so much of the image of Mary, recently installed at St Mary's of the Angels in Wellington. Is it the dark setting in each case, the greenstone weapon Ardern and the supposed Mary are carrying, the Maori cloaks, the dark hair, the same expression? Or is it just me?

No it's not just you. The resemblance is surely subliminal and satanic.
DeleteWhen I first saw that picture I immediately thought it looked like Jacinta. I dislike the picture.
DeleteThe St Mary's of the Angels picture of Our Lady does indeed look like Ardern, and so much so that I relinquished the opportunity to view the picture when it was recently displayed in St Joseph’s Dannevirke and in other churches close-by. I’m disappointed the artist chose to display a non-Christian image as the Mother of God.
