The Traffic Horror Show Regime
October 27, 2021
By NZB3
Labour 6.0’s Traffic Light System is a mafia patronage system for New Zealand. It will turn New Zealand into a giant game of Twister/Musical Chairs/Simon Says.
By this system the Ardern Ministry has created a User Interface to control the country from the top by placing it in Red/Orange/Green situation by pulling a string from Wellington. This will cause firms either to sign on to Labour 6.0 or else wither while their competition does so and takes all their customers and staff. Capital flight and even customer migration will be kept in check by border controls between patrolled regions.
If you thought you could shift your firm to another region, a more Green one, to trade there then forget it. If you thought you could escape your Red region for a family trip to a Green region where the tourism is open and the hospitality is flowing you can forget it. The system doesn’t work for the ruling politicians if we were able to be mobile. It’s not a siege and we’re not hostages unless some enforced borders are also created to go with the Traffic Light Regime. New Zealand will learn this early in 2022.
After a November/December 2021 rehearsal for the new scheme we will experience a Christmas reprieve. Ardern doesn’t want to be seen as the Christmas Grinch nor does she want to miss out on the huge tax take from all that shopping. After New Year and School Holidays end New Zealand will be caught off-guard as the now in-place Traffic Light System is imposed. November/December 2021 will be about installing the noose and January/February will be about tightening it. Our country will be lit up like a Red/Orange/Green Christmas tree under the pretense of health.
People will tune in to TVNZ to watch a map of the country lit up in Red-Orange-Green and presented like a Weather Report on the nightly news. They will want to find out the colour-coded rules that need to be applied where they are or wish to go or where their friends/family are. Initially Auckland will probably be Red and the rest of the country Orange while we learn the dance steps. Then, the Prime Minister will start calling out more complicated tunes for the orchestra to play and that will probably start by picking on Northland or teasing Canterbury with a spell of Green. People will become confused but eventually learn what colours mean and try to plan their travel and visitors and purchases…they’ll dance a ‘Time Warp’ sort of song as commanded from Ardern in Wellington as New Zealand becomes one great Rocky Horror Show.
It’s astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I’ve got to keep controlYou’re spaced out on sensation
Like you’re under sedationIt’s just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
You bring your knees in tight
But it’s the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane
Let’s do the Time Warp again
Let’s do the Time Warp again
Paranoia and hyper-vigilance sets in as captive people hear of coughing in Kaiapoi or rumors of non-tripple-jabbed wedding guests in Wanaka. Instead of blaming Ardern’s Ministry for The Game they’re all playing they will instead persecute the players for breaking the rules. The Milgram Experiment situation has already been shown to be established in our country. Weren’t we all primed for it in government schools when the teacher punished the whole class for the action of one kid? There’s no need for Vertical Enforcement from our government because we do such a good job of Horizontal Enforcement by attacking each other once divided by Ardern’s game rules. New Zealanders will attack their out-group for not following the rules that result in an entire region being moved into Red.
A region will come to fear contaminated outsiders bringing their rule-breaking habits in and causing a Traffic change to Orange or Red. It will be worse than losing a rugby or cricket game. When the government orders the police and army to patrol regional borders it will be welcomed with open arms.
Ardern will commence to turning regions on and off like Christmas tree lights, kneeding the dough of the productive nation. Firms that do not volunteer to be nodes in her Traffic system will wither and die while those that do will have a pass to keep earning. Mothballing a firm until the election will be very hard under the Traffic Horror Show because there will be no free government money or relief any more. International tourism can resume but only those with Ardern as their political patron will be able to take advantage of it. Hospitality and Tourism will face the Prisoner’s Dilemma of joining Ardern’s remunerated Lollypop Traffic Guards on her network or else being denied the ability to be in trade any time she switches Traffic signals.
Firms that try to hold out and mothball until political change will be over-taken by those that buy-in to Ardern’s mafia gang. They will lose staff, defer maintenance, forego revenue, lose customer base and advertising memory to their approved-of competition. Rather than face the wrath of their competitors for not complying they will be encouraged to surrender. Perhaps they will be teased with some Green Level only to have it taken away again with a Red once they have been demoralised after losing start-up costs and moral initiative. Few will dare a shootout against Ardern who can pull the rug out from under their feet with one twitch of her Traffic Light finger. Only firms with a ‘natural monopoly’ of some ski mountain or river rights could hope to keep what is theirs when their competitors can earn but they are prohibited.
Having a jab-passport Traffic Light at a firm’s door is expensive. The Government will not be running it or providing the staff, only mandating it as an un-funded liability on every firm. Small firms will not be able to afford a bouncer at their door to check a jab-passport QR code scans and matches the face of the would-be customer. That’s OK with Ardern: Small firms lose and big ones that can pay this compliance cost win with this Government.
National and ACT will only gripe the system is not being inflicted fast enough or well enough or fairly enough. They’ll discover an ‘interest’ in individual freedom but only because they are jealous that Labour’s take-over is working so well. They will not be able to stop it though and Ardern will dismantle her system after it has done its work and before the 2023 election so it cannot be used to re-patron New Zealand after her changes (“that stick”) have been made. After 2023 New Zealand will go back to pre-COVID industrial organisation just under new management and we’ll look back on our Vax Passports the same way we look back on our old 1970s Carless Days stickers.
Prior to the election campaign of 2023 and the dismantling of the Traffic Regime it may be that Ardern’s Ministry is brought down. Leadership might be snatched from Ardern (eg by Stuart Nash) under the promise of continuing the authoritarianism with more competence or ending it slightly sooner than she would have done anyway. If Three Waters fails publicly the way every other Labour 6.0 scheme (eg Kiwibuild, Auckland cycle bridge,..) has then Traffic Lights will also crumble.
Tourists and non-citizens will be able to buy a ticket to come back to New Zealand in 2023 without jab-passports because by then the scam will have run its course. Early 2022 will be crunch time for this hostage situation and after that we will have much more certainty because the winners and losers will have been decided. Labour 6.0 will have converted a large proportion of firms to their patronage and in doing so have a good in-kind return for helping to buy another election compared to other political parties who seek the same. Those besieged firms who Labour could not take over will be gone for good or there to stay. The hold-outs will probably include much of the tourist ventures around Wanaka/Queenstown and the suite of National-Ngai Tahu ventures.
Will New Zealand 2022 really have a Traffic Horror Show? Will we really be ringed in by our military at borders who make us queue for spit-tests? Paranoia and anger toward the suburb and town down the road who, we fear, will make our Orange a Red? Nightly weather maps about which province is breaking out in Red and who is rewarded with Green? Hanging off Chief Traffic Warden Ardern’s every command for fear she may re-colour us at 1pm tomorrow? Firms named on TV for betraying the Traffic System and being expelled from it? Probably not.
New Zealand doesn’t need to go full Slave Culture Authoritarian Clown World. Labour 6.0 only need the credibility of appearing willing to inflict all of the above so that hold-outs will yield. To achieve that, Labour 6.0 need to be very authoritarian over the next 4-5 months. Legislating for Three Waters against the will of the people is a good start toward the new Martial State we are about to dip into.
