Lockdown Clown Diary
By NZB3
Covid-19 Diary: May 11th Seem to be living on another planet. Have to keep reminding myself that the strange and paranoid behavior of the people living around me is based on the idea they believe- really believe- thousands of lives depend on obeying Big Brother. While Labour 6.0 re-negotiates their New Deal with businessmen we […]

COVID Masks are Gang Patches
By NZB3
One of the visible features of the COVID-19 crisis has been the waring of surgical masks. These, like much of this political crisis, are not there for health reasons alone. It’s also about theatre and superstition. They signal to others that the waringer is serious about the political fantasy and that’s quite separate from any […]

Money for Nothin’
By NZB3
As Anarchists feared, the post-COVID “help” from The State is going to be worse than the alleged ailment it sets out to cure. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand have added a bunch of zeros to their special spreadsheet and nobody stopped them.. “Twenty years ago this would have been called unconventional monetary policy. Now, […]

Normalising Fear and Anxiety
By NZB3
Propaganda like this (left) was paid for by viewers like you. The US funds $400-500 millions to the WHO each year. New Zealand contributes less than $6 millions. “It is normal to feel fearful and anxious during this time.”- World Health Organisation The WHO is literally normalising fear and anxiety. They follow it up by […]

“I cant see the Government shutting down the country for nothing”
By NZB3
Governments seem to make all sorts of screwy decisions. They fix things that aren’t broken, remove things that work, introduce entire institutions and even industries with no practical purpose. Non-Anarchists (Statists to some degree) just shake their heads and wonder why. “Why,” they say, “turn the economy to cinders and ash? Well- let’s give them […]

Hydroxychloroquine
By NZB3
Americans and New Zealanders are very different people. The strain of Statism in the American runs far more deep than in his Kiwi cousin. When US President Donald Trump remarked that a particular medication, Hydroxychloroquine, held promise he was attacked all over the world. Likewise, even more recently, POTUS pitched an question to an advisor about […]

“Money is a spook”
By NZB3
As we come out of Lockdown it has become clear that many of the protected class think it will all be business as usual. They think we’re all going to go right back to work as if it’s all just been some Christmas holiday. In reality, New Zealand’s over-valued economy has been on thin ice […]

“You think we are all in our jobs voluntarily I take it?”
By NZB3
The philosopher who is below average at telling necessary conditions apart from sufficient conditions better be an above average cartoonist. Existential Comics can draw but his ideas…..terrible! I’ve been having a conversation about what he got wrong in thinking that an entrepreneur is supposed to be able to create wealth in a vacuum.. “if the […]

Egalitarian Lock Down
By NZB3
A minor theme during this Lockdown has been the plea of regions to have their economic liberty restored rather than held back by Central Government. Why should the West Coast or the Chathams or Stewart Island or Gisbourne etc. be in detention in involuntary solidarity with everyone else? It’s one minor theme for all of […]

The ‘Contact Tracing’ Contract
By NZB3
The State broadcaster today interviewed the State contractor (who I’m sure was paid handsomely) recruited by the Government to put an academic seal of approval on what Labour 6.0 surely desire to do regardless. The Freudian slip by the Fourth Estate is the symbol for all you need to know about the new Government program called ‘Contact Tracing’. John Campbell on TVNZ Breakfast […]
