A month ago, the Prime Minister had bad news to deliver to the nation. The Covid-19 Response Strategy she had used to promote herself as an adored mother to the nation had failed. After months of crowing at her government's ability to eliminate Covid-19, Ardern finally had to break the news that Delta had won after all and she could not protect her people. Instead, she began the campaign in earnest for an internationally shocking, aggressive vaccination strategy - one that ultimately, in at least partial hindsight, may have become the catalyst for her ultimate humiliation and downfall.
Who knows what Jacinda Ardern's advisors were thinking when they told her to back down on her assurances that Kiwis had the 'choice' to vaccinate or not, and that anyone who chose not to do so would not be punished. Whoever gave Ardern that advice has probably single-handedly passed over the next election to a National/Act coalition. National, despite not having the overt support now will probably regain sufficient ground at the next election to take control back from Labour - an outcome most New Zealander's would be quite happy with if social media is anything to go by. And social media is a good indication of what 'ordinary New Zealand' is thinking.
Labour's little army of defenders is on slippery ground and trying to rush uphill into battle now - but they're falling back faster and faster with every passing day. All kudos to them for trying, but the PM's popularity has nosedived with incredible speed over just one week.
The majority of the damage was done when the masses decided to defy the Prime Minister and protest at the unprecedented overreach into their civil liberties through lockdowns and stay-home mandates, health passes, and Vaccination Orders. UP to 50,000 Kiwis took to the streets in defiance of The Rise of Facism Under Ardern. To make matters worse, Ardern's government has politicised NZ Police into making a series of arrests of organisers in what can only be described as the beginning of a State-wide political prisoner round-up.
As if that wasn't foolhardy enough, lo and behold, hot on the heels of such an unpopular precedent Labour then forced through a theft of water assets belonging to ratepayers around the country, despite almost every Council voting against such a move.
Internationally, Ardern's 'world leader' image is in tatters after being awarded the illustrious 'Plank of the Week' by talkRadio's Mike Graham. Nominated by photographer and commentator Laura Dodsworth, Ardern was roasted by the panel for her orders to Kiwis that they must not talk to their neighbours, her glee at creating two classes of citizens in New Zealand, and her instruction to only consider the Labour government as the nation's "single source of truth". It was pointed out as "seriously scary" that the Prime Minister appeared to be enjoying holding her own country hostage, and she was described as "creepy" and "psychopathic", clearly someone who has been reading too much Chinese politics.
In the same week, Jacinda Ardern completely lost control of Delta. Looking haggard and worn down, by weeks end she was predicting 200+ cases per day to be appearing soon, despite rising vaccination numbers (most DHB's are at or nearly at target) and the very unwelcome news that it seems transmission of Delta doesn't care whether a person is vaccinated or not. The Prime Minister's social media army is quickly scurrying to try and gaslight the public, who are now very understandably confused. They are being easily beaten back by the promotion in mainstream media of the latest transmission study out from the UK - apparently there is no difference in viral load (and therefore transmission) between Jacinda's "Two Classes". That's what happens when you use bad science to herald the age of Fascist New Zealand - eventually the Science catches up with you and the people realise you lied to them.
Christians have begun being targeted as a group by media, in a horrifying display of religiously-based dehumanisation aimed at anyone who refuses to submit to vaccination and happens to be a Bible reader as well. NZ Herald and Stuff have tried to explain away religious objection to vaccination experimentation as being somehow akin to tempting fate by walking among serpents in the hope that the believer won't be killed by the bite. They have sorely underestimated Christians of course, who have a very long history of being communities that are politically persecuted. And they oftentimes are bloodied and bruised, yet historically have prevailed time and time again.
A post emerged over the weekend alerting Tauranga residents to the fact that a local skin clinic, The Skin Center, refused skin cancer treatment to a patient on the basis that she was unvaccinated. A weak support, based entirely on the right of the business owner to treat whomever they pleased but ignoring the larger moral issue, was soundly beaten into submission by the number of people who opposed the refusal of treatment on such grounds. For the most part, with a few exceptions, both classes of citizens have stood in support of treating everyone, regardless of vaccination status - one exception being CEO of the Bay of Plenty District Health Board, Pete Chandler, who publicly announced his support for the Skin Center's position. That may yet bring a sad end to his place on the Board. He would have done better not have waded into that discussion.
Folks, are you not seeing what's happened all over the world? The freedom we all want is in front of us as soon as we're safely vaccinated. Aside from some of our smallest rural communities nearly everyone's had the opportunity now but it's not too late https://t.co/Sn975qvxAx

On the subject of the conduct of medical professionals and practitioners, the last two weeks have seen a sharp rise in the push for mothers-to-be to be vaccinated, ostensibly for the safety of their babies as much as themselves. Antenatal Clinical Midwife Coordinator (BOP DHB) Phoebe de Jong assured pregnant women that vaccination was safe for them to have, and numerous other DHB administrative execs have followed suit. Clearly, the new government spin was to get the pregnant women vaccinated. However, the influential CDC-sponsored article used to support the assertions about safety, on closer inspection, provides little assurance, particularly for those exposed in early pregnancy, according to Drs Aleisha Brock and Simon Thornley. Brock and Thornley re-examined the data of the original study and submitted that it contained errors. The authors continue to stand by their statement that there are no safety signals for use of the mRNA products in pregnancy, while according to Brock and Thornley "Caution should be exercised in the administration of vaccines in pregnancy, as indicated by the possible association between the exposure to influenza vaccines containing H1N1pdm09 (2010–11 and 2011–12) and spontaneous abortion." They have suggested the immediate withdrawal of mRNA vaccine use in pregnancy and those breastfeeding, alongside the withdrawal of mRNA vaccines to children or those of child-bearing age in the general population, until more convincing data relating to the safety and long-term impacts on fertility, pregnancy and reproduction are established in these groups.
On Nov 2 2021, Charlie Mitchell, a 'science' journo for Stuff who has no background in medical science, wrote a misleading hit piece about a "small group of doctors" (actually a very large group of doctors), many of whom are among the group New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out With Science (NZDSOS). Misleadingly, he wrote: "Many people were out and about on Saturday, October 16. Lots of them were being vaccinated, but a much smaller number were protesting against public health measures." How about now, though Charlie? On Saturday 30th October, according to official data, 32,186 people were vaccinated - while up to 50,000 were protesting a facist government in the streets. The tide has turned. And the people's hashtag #ResignJacinda has gained momentum.
Jacinda no longer wants to front the podium regularly - strategically she is stepping back from the fray now that the really bad news is imminent on the horizon and other more expendable personnel will step into her place. Ardern will return to the back of the battleground, and be protected from the infliction of a public political execution by sending others to die in her place. Not only has the Labour government completely lost its tug-o-war with Covid-19, Delta is about to show New Zealand what the pro-choice and pro-freedom experts, labelled conspiracy theorists and ostracised from the medical profession, have been telling us all along. The Single Source of Truth and every word you have to date read in the media and heard from the podium was nothing more than carefully crafted, tax-payer funded, spin.

As the situation deteriorates, and Kiwis begin to comprehend the enormity of the deception they have lived under for almost two years, latest polling shows the PM and Labour dropping by a whopping 6 points in the month of October. The Roy Morgan Government Confidence Rating dropped by 15.5pts in October to 109.5 to be at its lowest since Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern came to office four years ago in October 2017.
The Court of Public Opinion is now in session.
All rise.
