If you look into your own heart and you find nothing wrong there, what is there to worry about? What is there to fear?

What Maori leaders frame as racism by white folks is usually not. It’s the reaction people with a proud history of abolishing slavery and deposing tyrants have when we’re talked about like we’re slaves by people who act like they want to be tyrants. realitycheck.radio/the-outsi…

Maori leaders traditional treatment of slaves: Can take fruits of their labour without reciprocity Violence acceptable for backchat Can denigrate whakapapa due to past grievance Babies had with slave not slaves bc mana Maori leaders treatment of non-Maori taxpayers: See above.

“Tocqueville [said] American greatness rested on three pillars: fierce individual self-reliance, decentralized local communities, and strong foundation of religious morality … They formed local groups to fix problems themselves rather than begging a distant politician for help.”
In 1835, a Young French Aristocrat Predicted the Exact Bureaucratic Trap Threatening the West Today Before the philosopher Alexis de Tocqueville ever set foot in America, radical tyranny had already scarred his family. During the French Revolution’s Reign of Terror, left-wing Jacobin zealots guillotined his great-grandfather and threw his newlywed parents into a Paris dungeon. Waiting daily for the executioner's blade, his father’s hair turned snow-white at the age of twenty-one. Only the sudden fall of Robespierre spared his parents' lives by a matter of hours, allowing Alexis to be born a decade later. Raised in the shadow of state terror, Tocqueville became obsessed with a single question: why did the French pursuit of utopian equality end in a bloodbath, while the American Revolution produced the freest, most prosperous republic on earth? In 1831, at just twenty-five years old, he convinced the French government to send him to the United States under the mundane bureaucratic cover of inspecting American prisons. Once he arrived, he spent nine months traveling seven thousand miles by stagecoach, steamboat, and horseback to study the soul of the American citizen. His observations became Democracy in America, one of the most brilliant political analyses ever written. Tocqueville realized that American greatness rested on three pillars: fierce individual self-reliance, decentralized local communities, and a strong foundation of religious morality. Whenever Americans saw a problem, they formed a local group and fixed it themselves rather than begging a distant politician for help. Yet as he studied the young republic, Tocqueville foresaw a chilling vulnerability. He realized that a proud, armed citizenry would always fight back against an obvious military dictator. Therefore, future tyrants would abandon whips and chains in favor of welfare, cradle-to-grave safety, and endless administrative rules. They would conquer free citizens by offering to manage their lives in the name of compassion. Describing this future nanny state in 1840, Tocqueville wrote a passage that reads like a headline from today: "Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate... It seeks to keep them in perpetual childhood. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd... till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd." Tocqueville called this system "soft despotism." Nearly two centuries ago, he understood that when citizens trade personal responsibility for government security, the state gladly reduces them to dependent children. Every bloated regulatory agency, speech code, and entitlement program today operates on the exact blueprint he exposed. Liberty rarely perishes overnight in a violent coup; it erodes quietly when a free people allow bureaucrats to become their shepherds.

You may be led to believe by watching the news, one week out from the election, that the level of political discourse in New Zealand has now descended to flipping burgers, patting dogs, eating ice creams, and running in marathons. We are in one of the most globally unstable times in the worlds history, we have inherited a cost of living crisis, a fuel cost crisis, an overloaded health system, a stunted economic growth rate, high youth unemployment, debt through the roof, total uncertainty for what the future will bring, and a more polarised society than ever before - but all we see is a political clickbait parody being run by politicians. We can have a go at the media for their part, and we do, but these politicians who instigate this low level politics are equally to blame. They are treating the voters with disdain and are treating democracy like it is measured in screen-time and clicks. And the only ones who are suffering because of this are the people of New Zealand who have a right to an informed vote, and a right to know how different parties will address their very real problems. All those other politicians are dragging our democracy down to the lowest common denominator, and the people of New Zealand deserve better. NZFirst has been around the country for months holding packed public meetings, talking with literally tens of thousands of ordinary hardworking kiwis, answering their questions about the issues that are affecting them, and giving them all the chance to have some hope for the future - that’s what a political campaign is supposed to be about. Not burgers, dogs, marathons, or ice cream.

At this point it’s hard to escape the conclusion that @NZNationalParty want to lose the election.
🚩National’s Matt Doocey wears a tutu and pink wig at a primary school for “kids mental health”. The mental health minister was joined by Whangarei national candidate Budd Lloyd Budd also dressed in a pink Tutu and pink wig. He’s funded some pink hair mixed up program for primary schools. Doocey of course is an infamous trans maniac, having worked at the disgraced gender clinic - the Tavistock in the UK - and also in the house stated “I look forward to celebrating my children’s sexuality and gender identity”.. this sick prick also held up WP from banning Puberty blockers. You are really going to have to swallow a rat and still candidate vote did these sickos unfortunately. Labour sexualised the school curriculum, National and Act all voted with them for the sick trans enabling laws, Seymour famously defended drag queens reading to kids - for the sake of children party vote NZ First - the party that removed the RSE trans shit from school. Sick pathetic assholes. I bet Doocey got sexual pleasure dressing up in that crap. nzherald.co.nz/northern-advo…

Another good laying-out of the issue.
I've been trying to tell you the level of evil that is coming for years now. "Bolsheviks" is mentioned so often on our show that it has become a drinking game. You are not up against "the democrats". The democrat party was murdered in its sleep 30 years ago. You are not up against "the Nazis" -- they are long gone, but their name is used to keep you from seeing the truth. You are not up against "the fascists" either -- see "the Nazis", above. You are up against global Bolshevism. They say it to your face. They have trained three generations now to laugh whenever anyone says "communist". They own your schools. They own your media. They own your entertainment. They have only three goals. Obtaining power, retaining power, and crushing any dissent to their power. That's it. That is what makes them effective. Wake up, America. Your enemy is Bolshevism. ------------------------------------------ Post script: do not come at me with that idiotic "it's all the same hurr durr!" garbage. It is not "all the same". Not by a long shot. Not even close. Quit being a mouth-breather.

This guy is worth a follow. Great explanation of the trap New Zealand’s fallen into, and a clue about getting out.
Globalism explained to an 8-year-old. 🚨 If you're Western, read this. Understand it. Then explain it to everyone around you. 🚨 Imagine a game. In the original version there were two teams: the bosses and the workers. The rule was simple. The bosses are bad, the workers are good, and the game only ends when the bosses lose everything and a central authority runs it all. That game was called communism. It was played everywhere, and it failed everywhere. Workers got richer under capitalism, not poorer. The Soviet Union collapsed. Game over, right? No. The players didn't change the game. They changed the teams. Today we call it globalism: the belief that the answer to every problem is more centralized, supranational, unaccountable control, decided by people you never voted for. Same game, new coat of paint. And the coat changes depending on the audience. The climate coat. The new villain is the factory, growth, the guy who drives a car or takes a plane. The solution is always the same: less freedom, more control, fewer people deciding for themselves. Notice that the answer is never nuclear or innovation. It's always restriction. Degrowth is collectivism painted green. The gender and sexuality coat. A movement that once asked to be left alone, and won, got captured by a theory that says the family, biology and the very idea of a norm are oppressive structures to dismantle. Gay people are not the problem. Most just want to live their lives. The problem is a theory that uses them as a battering ram against the family. The woke coat. The same grid applied to everything. Every relationship becomes oppressor versus oppressed. Merit becomes oppression. Speech becomes violence. Your history becomes a crime. The minorities coat. Every group gets assigned a role in the play, and that's where the contradiction becomes absurd. The same activists who champion LGBT rights ally with political Islam, which would criminalize those same people. Why? Because the ideology doesn't need coherence. It only needs an "oppressed" category to aim at the West. And Muslims who came here to live freely are not the enemy. They are often the first victims of Islamists. Same game. Same grid. A different coat every decade. So the real question isn't your skin color, your religion or who you love. It's this: do you think in that grid or not? Do you see the world as a war between oppressors and oppressed, to be settled by tearing down what works? And here many people fall into the dumbest trap there is: antisemitism. They go looking for a hidden group pulling the strings. It's garbage. It's false. And it's exactly the move that discredits everyone fighting this ideology. There is no secret cabal. There is an idea. And ideas are beaten with better ideas. We are at a turning point. The West built the freest, richest and most tolerant societies in human history: rule of law, free speech, the scientific method, the dignity of the individual. That is what this grid wants to dismantle, and it only works as long as nobody names it. So name it. Share this. Explain it to your kids, your parents, your friends. A Marxist in the mind is still a Marxist, whatever color the coat. The West is worth defending.

One of the best and most concise descriptions I’ve read of this juncture in history.
So, basically, 500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians who can’t even defeat 40 million Ukrainians while those 500 million Europeans don’t even realize they are being conquered by 2 billion Muslims who claim they are being persecuted by 8 million Israelis. Is that about right? 1

We shouldn’t count on the Satanists who created this problem — becoming fabulously wealthy in the process — to solve the problem. Their solution is depopulation, replacement and control grid. We can do better.

NZ’s Medical Council needs to be dismantled. They showed their evil during Covid, and are still prosecuting doctors who correctly stood up to evil.
Dr David Smylie spent almost 40 years as a doctor in Britain, Australia, the US and New Zealand, including two years in Aboriginal health in the Australian outback. By 2022 he was a senior partner at Cambridge Medical Centre in the Waikato. He’d never had a single complaint made against him to the Medical Council. That November, a sales rep emailed him an invitation to a sponsored education evening. Her email opened “Ate Marie Everyone”. She meant “ata mārie”, good morning. He replied the moment he read it, late at night, to her alone. Four sentences: a joke about the typo, a grumble about how much te reo was in her email, and a request to be taken off the mailing list. He’s the first to admit it was a knee-jerk reaction, and he regrets sending it. Nine days later she wrote back calling it “offensive and inappropriate”. The same day, her manager reported him to the Medical Council. Within days, Dr Smylie had written an apology for her. The Council never passed it on, at one point claiming it would “interfere with an active investigation”. When a Professional Conduct Committee later interviewed the rep, she said an apology would have made her feel a lot better. His was sitting in the Council’s file. Nobody had told her. When the committee’s chair suggested she meet him, another member warned her off, saying it could be bad for her mental health, and added: “it’s tough calling out racism.” In September 2023 the committee ruled his email “objectively racist, offensive, and insensitive”. Whether he meant any harm was “of little consequence”. His four sentences had “the potential to contribute to current health inequities”. The penalty was a year-long “educational programme”: monthly sessions with a supervisor who reported on him to the Council, readings on colonisation and institutional racism, and strategies for managing his “implicit biases (which are inevitable)”. He was expected to pay for it, at $125 an hour plus GST. To finish, he had to write two essays, including 1,000 words on structural racism in New Zealand health care. Before the programme even started, he’d apologised to the rep directly, and she had accepted. His lawyers asked for the programme to be halved and the essays dropped. It went ahead anyway. He sat through all twelve sessions. He refused to write the essays, as a matter of principle. “It is the nastiest thing I’ve ever gone through in my career and my life,” he told the Free Speech Union. Dr Smylie now practises overseas. Health NZ is short-staffed and recruiting from abroad. The Medical Council spent a year re-educating a GP with almost 40 years’ experience over one private email, and New Zealand lost him in the process.

In times of universal deception, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
Here’s a clue of how to spot your real enemies, Maori. They’ll often be the people telling you that everything bad that happens to you … is someone else’s fault.

Chris Hipkins rallies the troops on the “more government/less freedom” “borrow/tax/waste” left ahead of the coming election.
This video from @TheBabylonBee seems about two or three years old, however, it's as poignant today as it was then. This is exactly what the Democrat Party is all about. It's comical and yet has a feeling of undeniable truth to it. They all disguise themselves as righteous Crusaders and yet it's all a big lie.

The totes fave politician of @chrisluxonmp The guy campaigning to put Labour, Greens TOP and Maori Party back into power with his “four legs good, two ticks blue!” campaign.
The media wants to pretend it is just a coincidence, but the optics from Detroit are absolutely glaring. You have Barack Obama—a man who spent his entire presidency appeasing global Islamic interests—rushing to Michigan to rally for Abdul El-Sayed. El-Sayed is the radical progressive candidate fighting to become the first Muslim in the US Senate. This is the same candidate who has called for an end to all US military aid to Israel. And who does the Democrat establishment call in to rescue his floundering campaign? Barack Obama. During his speech in Detroit, Obama literally told the crowd, "We have seen this movie before. I starred in it". He is openly telling you exactly what this is. It is entirely typical. Obama’s legacy is built on completely abandoning traditional American alliances while empowering radical Middle Eastern regimes with pallets of cash. Now he is desperate to install a senator who openly calls Israel’s self-defense a "genocide". They are showing you exactly who they are and what their priorities are. They despise American sovereignty and traditional Western alliances, and they will always flock together to ensure those institutions are dismantled from the inside out. Michigan is the frontline, and Trump is exactly right to call this out.

Great post. Our mid-witted middle management politicians have been conditioned into a Marxist idea of equality that prevents objective assessment of the cultures we’re importing; cultures where deception, corruption, tribalism and sexual predation are normal.
With my experience in the 3rd world I’ve put some thoughts together, to help Kiwis adjust to NZ’s new reality under the Indian Mass Immigration Agreement.

Spot on. The politics of “gimmes” is a inevitable consequence of the erosion of our high-trust economy by race-based tribal radicalism, immigration from low-trust cultures and squeezing of living standards by bankers and a public sector that’s growing like cancer.
It's sad to say, the National Party have lost their way. When they first started they stood with integrity, but now all they stand for is compromise, complicity and complacency. Mere pawns of the globalists, and partners with BigTech, BigPharma, and a UN disruptive agenda. I used to admire National MPs, and Sir Keith Holyoak was the epitome of a good PM, and a good MP. But now?.... LuxSingh promotes India and Indians as better than Kiwis, invites them to swamp NZ with a Free Migration agreement, cloaked in "Free Trade" trappings. National has done little about the racist policies, racist funding, and unequal treatment of citizens based on bloodline, skin colour, and status rather than needs. The racist imposition of the dead Maori language is disgraceful, and it's being rammed down the throat of unwilling Kiwis, who still don't understand what cliche tokenist sentences are being delivered by the media. National has done nothing to fix a lying, biased, and manipulative media. Instead of FIXING the @BSA_NZ , they cancelled it so that we have no protection. National has continued overspending (spending more than we earn), which is OK if the spend is long term investment, but week after week the Taxpayer Union provides examples of profligate and wasteful spending in National MP-Led Ministries. The ONLY things National has actually fixed is Education, Defense, and the restoration of proper RBNZ targets, but they appointed a Lefty activist RBNZ Governor, and did not hold Treasury to account regarding their complicity in lies in the latter Labour Government Budgets. Immigration is still a mess. Police are still a mess. Health is still a mess. Justice is still a mess. @NZHumanRights is still a mess. TOW tribunal is still there, and still being racist/activist. Dangerous mRNA drugs are still being jabbed into both people and animals. They want to destroy NZ's clean green brand by Genetic fiddling, ... It's awful. But yet is nowhere near as awful as what the -Labour government did in 2017-2023, dividing and bankrupting NZ over the latest flu, following global "guidance" rather than Kiwi common sense. Party vote NZF or ACT, because National must be sent a clear message: Sack LuxSingh, BringBackPenk, abandon Climate Religion, restore your first love of integrity, farming and family. Abandon the woke nonsense; renounce it. God Defend NZ.

So much treasonous, Fabian “there’s a DVD of me doing something blackmailable” in one clip. Nauseating.
Chris Finlayson admits that he accepted Grant Robertson and Ardern’s request to represent them at the covid enquiry as they wanted someone who would be ‘difficult’ and to annoy WP. Chris Finlayson and Phill Goffs weekly podcast sole purpose is to attack WP and NZF, episode after episode it’s all about attacking NZ First and its leader. The only politician from the centre right they talk positively of is Act’s James Christmas, who of course is Finlayson’s protege. The gruesome twosome dismiss NZ First as a conspiracy theorist party, and people are “sick of them” and that’s why TOP should be considered the new centrist party. They both attack WP for not voting to give the right for the UN and WEF to override NZ to make its own decisions “in the next pandemic this is life and death!” Goff condemns his decision as bad as WP voting against recognising Palestine. Ridiculously, Goff, (Clark’s sockpuppet and disgraced UK Highcommissioner) asserts that WP is going down a ‘neo fascist path’ - this is the kind of unhinged conspiracy theorist rhetoric that leads to the nutters on the left committing violent politically motivated attacks, like the lunatic greens supporter who put a metal bar through WP’s window at his home. Finlayson who has legally represented TPM, is perhaps one of the most nation damaging MP’s ever to come out of National, is an extreme ideologue, a twisted petty nasty bitch describes WP as “An old grandad who seems to be out of it”. Finlayson’s hatred decades long of WP seems to be clearly a classic case of self loathing, in 2014 he told the Sunday Star Times that he is gay as well as Catholic, he is an "odd fish", He has no partner, and says he is celibate”. It’s no wonder he despises NZ’s only conservative political leader who loves his country—a father, and yes a grandfather, with a longterm partner. Maybe Finlayson has a goldfish or perhaps a Gerbil.
