The Coalition Government is doing things differently, and you should be very afraid.

“Economic growth is an important contributor to wellbeing but it is not an end itself” – Grant Robertson

In case you’ve been living under a rock, you may not have heard Labour peddling its latest buzz word. “THE WELLBEING BUDGET” but what exactly is it ?

To understand it, we need a bit of context.

Millennials have been crying out for something that feels different from capitalism. Generation X have been blessed (or cursed) with everything now accessible by their smart phones.

Millennials can get it now, and they want it now. But, is that really how the world works ?

The older generation has worked hard, paid their fair share of taxes, and with a bit of luck and good timing have prospered off the back of rising asset values fueled by decades of gouging themselves on debt.

So when the global financial crisis suffered a financial fart, fueled by greedy banks, and greedy owners of capital, capitalism started to smell bad to the masses.

Greed caused the GFC, not capitalism.

Enter the Socialists.

The US fell in love with Obama who brought socialisim disguised as “hope & change”.

Big tech and millenial CEO’s embraced it, while pushing their ideology throughout their fortune 500 companies.

Bernie Sanders launched a highly polished political campaign, promoting the “benefits” of socialism while targeting working class America.

Thanks to spectical that is American politics, socialism found itself back in the mainstream.

This leads us to New Zealand…

As the middle class here evaporated due to globalism, stagnent wage growth, excessive migration, excessive debt and house price inflation, Kiwis began to question capitalism.

The kiwi dream of the one acre section has now all but disappeared.

Capitalism was seen as the big bad wolf, ordinary kiwis who didn’t own a home began to feel worse off, the middle class became squeezed, dissolutioned and angry.

Unfortunately in any society, the bottom rung tend to find it the hardest, in New Zealand that is Maori, and Labour saw an opportunity.

Leading up to the 2017 labour targeted Maori, sowing the seeds of discontent Maori became feed up with the Maori party, before long National found itself without a coalition partner.

National tried it’s best to eliminate Winston Peter’s from the negotiation table, Winston losing his whangarei seat to National, combined with the scandal of claiming superannuation while earning an mp’s salary, he was all but cooked.

However, you can never rule out Winston.

He’s a pro at populist politics, by pandering to his core voters who opposed mass immigration, and trusted Winston to tighten up our boarders, he got the numbers and survived on election night becoming king maker and deciding who would govern New Zealand.

Labour now found itself in government, having never expected to lead, disorganized, visionless and dysfunctional, (having mowed through 3 leaders since being in opposition) the only thing Labour could do was turn to their failed marxists ideology.

Hello Socialism…

Since the 2017 elections, Labour have been forcing a form of socialism in disguise on the New Zealand public at a terrifying pace.

Labour understand they have a small window of opportunity to cease power for future decades, labour elites wish to rule NZ, and they are going flat out to achieve it.

In case you think i’m scare mongering..

Behold Obama and Hillary Clinton’s beloved Saul Alinsky’s 8 steps to achieve a socialist state, now ask yourself, how close is Labour ?

1) Healthcare — Control healthcare and you control the people

2) Poverty — Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people are easier to control and will not fight back if you are providing everything for them to live.

3) Debt — Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.

4) Gun Control — Remove the ability to defend themselves from the Government. That way you are able to create a police state.

5) Welfare — Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing, and Income).

6) Education — Take control of what people read and listen to — take control of what children learn in school.

7) Religion — Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools.

8) Class Warfare — Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax) the wealthy with the support of the poor

Labour’s master stroke is being marketed as the Well being budget with the gov’t priorities this year being:

a) To create opportunities for transitioning to a sustainable low emissions economy.

b) Lifting Maori and Pacific incomes and opportunities.

c) Supporting a thriving nation in the digital age through innovation.

d) Reducing child poverty, improving child and youth wellbeing, including addressing family violence.

e) Supporting mental wellbeing for all New Zealanders, particularly those under 24.

This all sounds very lovely, but what the government is really seeking to do is :

a) Make the country dependent on government for their energy needs.

b) Create division under the guise of equality, taking from those who have worked hard for something and transferring wealth to those who believe they are entitled to it.

c) Implementing technology that erodes individual privacy, and allows for more government surveillance.

d) Making families even more dependent on the state, increasing welfare that ultimately the leads to poverty.

e) Removing religion and God from the nation, its institutions, its schools. Targeting young people, while pushing government programs as solutions to mental wellbeing, yet only confuse and compound, making the vulnerable more dependent on the state.

Make no mistake, socialism is a sinister system that ultimately leads to communism and complete oppression over the people.

The temptation of socialism on the naive is “give up a little of your freedom, and I will give you a little more security.”

History shows us, this is never the case.

Ask the people of China, USSR, Venezuela, Cuba how they feel about losing both their freedom and security.

While socialism once promised these people prosperity, equality, and security, it has only delivered poverty, misery, and tyranny.

Equality was achieved only in the sense that everyone was equal in his or her misery.

Socialism ignores incentives, it’s a theory inconsistent with human nature. It will always be doomed to fail.

Capitalism allows for the incentive of making a profit for your hard work, it allows free markets to determine prices, it allows for private property rights.

It inspires innovation, and enterprise. It incentivises efficiency, capitalism creates wealth.

To irradicate these tenants is a direct attack on your freedom & liberty.

Ask yourself, what will your level of wellbeing be when you loose it all at the hands of the marxists now running our government ?

Right wing politics in NZ is quite simply dysfunctional.

There is a serious lack of cohesion amongst the various factions that make up the right, there is an underlying fear from right wing voters, people are scared to speak out at the risk of being branded a racist, a nazi or which ever indenty political buzz word is favored by the left.

Right wing politics in NZ is made up of the following.

1/ Battered baby boomers.
2/ Confused Christians.
3/ Jordan Peterson fan boys.
4/ A small sprinkling of overweight far right storm troopers.

As a overweight, far right storm trooper myself, I recently had the pleasure of encountering both 1, 2 & 3 attempting to organize the anti UN Migrant pact held on Feb 2.

A quasi yellow vest, not a yellow vest, anti climate change, anti UN, baby boomer day out, shit fest….Quite simply a fail.

Organized & financed solely by Concerned Ant, a Battered Baby Boomer with anxiety issues, boardline schizophrenic who seemed to jump at ‘ghosts’ out to get her.

Her minion, a young, impressionable and easily influenced tradie desperate to make a name for himself within political circles was left just as dismayed as i was of the prospects of getting a rally off the ground.

When i intially questioned Concerned Ant’s motives of monetizing a political movement for profit, i hit a nerve. As a result of one of my tweets she didn’t agree with I swiftly found myself on the outside for decisive behavior, kicked out of her organsing groups, blocked and banned from every NZ Sovereignty social media account without any explanation.

When i raised my concerns with her lackey, it was soon clear that this poor lad had been manipulated by his senior, pushed out infront of her movement as a ‘spokesperson’ that could be throw in front of the bus if it all went pear shaped.

This was NZ grass roots right wing activism at its finest…they meant well, they just lacked the capability and networks to pull it off.

NZ’s right wing Political parties almost resemble the shambles discribed above.

For example, following a bust up with the recently rebranded New Conservatives over Maori separatism, real estate agent turned politician Paul Davies, went rogue forming his own party “One New Zealand”.

Before this party could get of the ground, it descended into a chaos, splitting off into two, the ‘un official’ and ‘official’ One New Zealand Party.

By airing out his dirty laundry, it become evident Paul Davies party was dead before it started, swiftly rebranded under the leadership of Andy Oakley.

The mainstream parties of the right aren’t doing much better.

National, after 9 years as a center right party under john key, which shifted further and further left with globalist undertones, now seems visionless under Simon Bridges with an inability to identify with right wing, conservative voters.

Alas, we are left with ACT, basically labour without the benefit.

How this party is still alive is anyone’s guess, it almost seems they have an offshore Millionaire benefactor willing to drop $100k into party coffers each year just to keep it afloat to sure up his business interests back home.

New Zealand desperately needs a cohesive, structured right thinking party with commonsense policy.

Given the amount of fumbles at the hands of this current concoction of socialists, an organsined, talented right wing party would be running rings around the government.

Right wing voters live in hope that we’ll see the rise of a charismatic, articulate leader who can rally the right before 2020.

The alternative for NZ is further descent into a dysfunctional mess allowing the left to tighten its socialist grip on power, while sending this nation further down the turd chute.

Would NZ’s real trump please stand up.

As the yellow vest protests continue for a 9th week, other nations are beginning to pay attention, it’s becoming harder for mainstream media to ignore.

The UK has also mobilized with yellow vest supporters hitting the streets standing in soladarity with the French, while voicing their own concerns over Brexit and the EU.

What’s becoming more clear is that the yellow vest movement represents different things for different people, yet the consistent theme is the following:

1/ A rejection of globislation.
2/ The desire for ordinary people to determine individual liberty & freedoms.
3/ The distrust in the agenda of the EU, UN and the elites.

Last week Martin Bomber Bradbury of the left leaning daily blog, came out describing the yellow vest movement as some sort of left wing rejection of neo liberalism.

This was ‘partially’ correct, yet Martin proved his ignorance by determining the yellow vest protests were a single issue, represented by a single political faction.

It doesn’t take much time to understand the yellow vest movement is a complicated, evolving beast made up of left wing, populist and right wing ideals.

Even New Zealand has the spluttering of it’s own yellow vest movement, the trouble is NZ is a somewhat apathetic country, time will tell if any movement will gain traction here. Kiwis are too asleep.

A New Zealand movement is likely to be somewhat fragmented mix mash with those on the left of the political spectrum protesting neoliberalism, vs disillusioned baby boomers, ex nat voters and fed up NZ first supporters protesting against the declining freedom of speech and the UN’s encroachment on national sovereignty.

A New Zealand YellowVest movement runs the risk of being hijacked by trade unionists, radical lefties and Maori partisans before it would become a movement of significance.

The right would need to embrace the movement with the objective of forcing a snap election or emergence of a new political party, unlikely considering those on the right tend to have jobs, pay taxes etc.

The truth is, it’s not a movement that one single faction can lay claim to. The yellow vest movement represents a rejection by ordinary of the elites consolidation of power by way of globalization.

Each nation that protests under ‘yellow vest’ is likely to have their own unique flavor and political bend. Time will tell if governments will simply crack down on protests, or if various political factions within each national movement will rise up and cease power with the goal of influencing the outcome on election day.

To understand the road to treachery, you really need a solid timeline.

I took a look at some of the key milestones to NZ’s road to signing away our sovereignty to the UN in the form of the UN Migration compact.

Sep 2016 – New Zealand (under National Govt) along with all member nations adopts the New York declaration for Refugees and Migrants, agreement expresses the political will of world leaders to protect the rights of refugees and migrants, to save lives and share responsibility for large movements on a global scale.

By adopting the New York Declaration, Member States are making bold commitments including:

1/ to start negotiations leading to an international conference and the adoption of a global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration in 2018,

2/ to develop guidelines on the treatment of migrants in vulnerable situations;

3/ to achieve a more equitable sharing of the burden and responsibility for hosting and supporting the world’s refugees by adopting a global compact on refugees in 2018.

The Secretary General also launched a new campaign called “Together Respect, Safety and Dignity for All” to “respond to rising xenophobia and turn fear into hope”. He urged “world leaders to join this

NEXT STEPS: Start negotiations leading to an international conference and the adoption
of a global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration in 2018.

Sep 2018 – The “Road to Marrakech”(New York) a high-level event during the UN General Assembly to build momentum, among Member States and other stakeholders, towards the Intergovernmental Conference in Morocco in December.

July 2018 – UN Member States finalized the text for the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.

Hungry, Australia announces they’ll withdraw from the UN migrant pact.

Oct 2018 – Austria Pulls out of the UN Migrant Pact.

Nov 2018 – Poland, Czech Republic and Israel announce they’ll withdraw from the agreement.

1st Dec 2018 – NZ Government won’t commit to pulling out of controversial UN migration agreement

3rd Dec 2018 – Donald Trump pulls US out of UN global compact on migration

4th Dec 2018 – National announces they would pull NZ out of UN migration pact because of its potential to restrict New Zealand’s ability to set its own migration and foreign policy, National Leader Simon Bridges says.

10/11th Dec 2018 – The Intergovernmental Conference to Adopt the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration held in Marrakech, Morocco 10 /11 December 2018.

10th Dec 2018 – Government announces it will be seeking further advice before signing United Nations Global Compact on Migration.

However, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said a formal, official signing was not until December 17 and events taking place in Morocco were “purely ceremonial”.

11th Dec 2018 – Jacinda Ardern: UN global agreement won’t take away our sovereign rights

11th Dec 2018 – Brazil announces it will pull out of UN migration pact in January when new president Jair Bolsonaro takes office.

18th Dec 2018 – NZ to vote in favour of UN Migration Compact

22nd Dec 2018 – New Zealand First slams ’emotional debate’ over UN Migration Compact.

Regardless of the position our long standing allies Australia & the USA took towards signing this flawed agreement.

Winston Peters (a long time campaigner for tougher immigration) in his capacity as foreign minster, along with Helen Clark’s puppet & socialist prime minister Jacinda Arden, signed away NZ’s sovereign right to manage its own borders to the United Nations.

NZ finds itself in precarious position in amongst this global game of geo political chess.

Let me start by asking the question, did the NZ govt sign us up to the UN migrant pact to protect our sovereignty from something more sinister ?

Currently Russia, USA, the EU & China are flexing their power. China has closed the gap economically over the USA in the past few decades.

The nature of China’s totalitarian regime is that they need to keep social order to maintain it’s grip on the people. They do this by way of communism, and food supply.

Here lies the threat for NZ & the South Pacific.

As china expands rapidly, they need resources to feed their people, ie Milk, Meat , Fish. China doesn’t muck around, they certainly dont rely on other nations for food supply. There aim is to control the entire process from farm to factory.

There has been a significant amount of investment in the south Pacific by china in the way of soft loans to build infrastructure, like ports, schools, hospitals.

These investments however aren’t to make friends.

NZ is a bountiful country known for our Milk, Meat & Fish stocks. We are a tiny country in the south Pacific in comparison to China’s population of 1.5 billion. We are a close ally of Australia, who is currently standing up to china at the behest of Ally USA.

What better way for China to gain more control over the south Pacific but limit Australian influence, you do this by isolating AUS from its closest ally. Ie NZ.

It’s my fear, in the next few years, China will continue to create divisions in this key relationship, they will embed themselves& embezzle NZ politics to influence policy. When our country faces the inevitable financial turmoil of excessive debt, chinas banks will swoop in to buy up bad debts.

Any resistance will be met with trade woes. And civil unrest will result in a physical presence of Chinese military disguised as ‘training exercises’.

We are in the dragons den people.

NZ needs to wake up. Fast.

Most people are familiar with the story of the trojan horse used during the battle of troy. Invading soilders built a horse out of the remanents of wooden ships, they left at as a gift for the people of troy, the soilders sailed around the coast out of sight, the people of troy celebrated, they were so excited they hauled the horse inside the city’s gates.

Unknown to them, the enemy soilders were hiding inside, when it grew dark, the enemy spilled out of the wooden horse, slaughtering the citizens as they slept.

A trojan horse can come in many forms, who would have thought NZ’s trojan horse would exist under the guise of the United Nations.

Since 2016, Nation states have been coohersed into meeting at the globalist table to dicuss the migrant agenda.

Immigration is a complex issue, however the UN has an agenda to destroy national identities by removing tradtional boarders and imposing a UN framework for dealing with international migration.

Government officials, whom to be fair are only attending the UN conference at marrakesh to promote their own linkedin profiles, couldnt gives a shit about national sovereignty.

They’ve already been told what to do by our government.

Here lies the issue.

Jacinda Ardern & Winston Peters are preventing the NZ public on having a dicussion about migration by keeping the public attention occupied while they sign away our Nations abilty to determine our own domestic immigration policy.

Make no mistake, the UN migration pact is a trojan horse.

Europe is in turmoil over its leaders ignoring the wishes of its people.

France has faced 6 weeks of constant protests in an effort to oust Macron, 75% of french citizens are in support of the protests.

Countries such as Australia, Austria, the Czech Republic, the Dominican Republic, Hungary, Latvia, Poland, slovakia and the United States are not signing it.

New Zealand on the other hand has given it very little media attention, conveniently Jacinda Arden has pushed the decision on *if* NZ will sign towards the final days.

There is climate of concern & confusion.

The NZ public have absolutely no idea of the dangers of this disastrous global agreement, there has been virtually zero public dicussion on it. New Zealand is at the mercy of a ‘media for hire’ who run stories on what Jacinda brought baby Neve for xmas rather that presenting what the UN Migrant pact means for New Zealanders.

By signing it, Jacinda Arden ignores the will of the people, the majority of which did not vote for her. Winston, who has spent a lifetime campaigning on a tough immigration stance will be selling out his entire voting base.

Signing this UN migrant pact promises to leave New Zealand a divided nation open for conquest.

In more ways than one, New Zealand first voters have been suckered in.

Its voters are made up of mixed bag of grey power patriots & proud working class nationalists sold on uncle winston standing up for the nation in amongst the pillaging of foreign invaders.

NZF has something of a youth wing, politically naive young people, proud kiwi kids whose great grandfathers died in the war for our nations freedom, young Patriots suckered into the party with the promise of ‘New Zealand First’.

What we’ve witness in recent times is the parties core values slowly crumble to reveal its values are really just a reflection of Winstons values.

It’s a front, a show, a bogus brand, a 2nd hand car brought on trademe with a dodgey wof and cigarette smells.

Winston first has sold NZ First voters a dummy.

Winston Peters, leader of the party has always campaigned on putting the needs, hopes & aspirations of everyday kiwis first. Winston has always campaigned on commonsense.

Spare a thought for those NZ first voters, betrayed by their dear leader as he defied commonsense by proceeding with Labour to sign New Zealand up to the UN Migrant Compact.

An agreement that is an idication of New Zealands intention to adopt & support a global framework set by the UN that would govern how our Nation determines immigration policy.

Winston, a man for 3 decades who has been the toughest on immigration, globalisation and foriegn investment has suddenly sold out his voters.

The question is why ?

Why would a narcasist like Peters, who cares a lot about how he comes across in public be willing to destroy his legacy of a politician who always put New Zealand first.

Its becoming clear, Winston, the chain smoking, whisky drinking, pin stripe wearing, hair dying, minister of racing is only interested in a bob each way.

Winston Peters has always sided with popular opinion, in his words:

“It’s common sense.”

What Winston’s voters failed to realise is that it’s what ever makes common sense to him.

NZF voters are a unique bunch, a mix of the older generation, working class, traditionalists who believe in giving their neighbour a hand up when they’re down on there luck.

Core party faithful stand for New Zealanders first above anything else.

It’s the core party mandate of NZF.

But what does that actually mean ? To put New Zealanders first …

If you had vast social problems of kiwis down & out, homeless, sleeping in cars, unemployed & unemployable, putting these New Zealanders first would mean addressing the failed social policy that caused this ie Welfare dependency, drug & alcohol abuse, family violence, gambling.

Yet here you have the Minister for racing, also the deputy prime minister in a moment when NZF voters looked for Winston Peters to be the voice of “common sense” within an incompetent government (that shouldn’t even be there in the first place) to stand up for kiwis and say NO to increasing the refugee quota.

NO because we are putting New Zealanders first, we are addressing the problems of Kiwis before anything else.

NO because we are fixing the mess left by failed social welfare policy.

NO because our neighbours needed us to give them a hand up.

NO because NZF voters believe in putting Kiwis first.

Yet Winston Peters, in that pivotal moment to stand up for his voters, to show solidarity and loyalty, he simply sold them out, standing by Labour in support of increasing the refugee quota.

NZF voters are now coming to the realisation that other than a gold card with cheap bus rides, they’ve also been given a ride by a fraud for a leader only interested in serving his own needs.

It’s vital that humanity has political system that spawns competition.

Competition means we become more efficient, more innovative. 

It pushes us to solve the world’s problems.

Socialism strips away incentive. 

Socialism kills evolution.

If National had taken the electoral commissions advice to reduce the MMP threshold to 4% they’d still be in government.

2017’s elections saw a hijacking of democracy that left a lot of kiwis scratching their heads over MMP, some get it, the majority doesn’t.

To govern you need stable minor parties as coalition partners.

The majority went to National on the day, 56 seats vs Labour’s 46, yet a vindictive politician whose party is really just a vehicle to fuel his narcissism held the country to ransom.

Winston held the balance of power at 7.2% of the vote. All though the country voted for anyone but labour, the revengeful prick went into government with the socialist left betraying a lot of his core party members.

Labour ran a smart strategy against the Maori party stealing crucial votes and ultimately killing off Nationals coalition party, Epsom ACT voters got the message and played the sure thing card with David Seymour, the bulk going back to the Nats.

Here’s the thing, if National had dropped the threshold to 4% in their 9 years of government and signalled a willingness to work with stable coalition partners they would still be in power.

Dropping the threshold allows more oxygen for the smaller parties to gain more votes and ultimately seats.

With Maori out of parliament completely, National are going to have to come together with the smaller parties to work on a strategy of stable, sensible & smart governance.

National need ACT more than ever, they also need the New Conservative’s and perhaps a show of willingness to work with TOP.

A commitment to reducing the MMP party threshold from 5% to 4% will only give the right more options to win.
