By NZB3
A Middlemore Hospital spokeswoman acknowledge today some facts buried under alarmist headline and other spin… “We are mainly seeing people that are sick with Covid and have other comorbidities or have a broken bone and have Covid or are delivering a baby with Covid,” Thornton said. Oh no. Where’s the COVID Emergency hysteria anxiety pandemic […]

“Make Sure You’re Sorted”
By NZB3
What’s the difference between propaganda and advertising? Advertising puts you in contact with desires you already have and tells you about a channel to achieve them. Propaganda tells you what to want and often employs fear. This (image, left) bit of propaganda from the Ministry of Civil Defense is on-message with Labour 6.0’s efforts to […]

If You Get Hurt Who Gets Harmed?
By NZB3
Oh bugger off Government Accident Compensation Corporation with your latest patronising propaganda campaign. New Zealanders are not kindergarten idiots in need of being told how to chop wood or reach for something up high on a shelf. Truth is the government definitely don’t care if you come to harm. They care that you might claim […]

The Media Priesthood
By NZB3
I like this picture of a media priestess. The steeple behind conjures up the image of a church. The colored panel of screens resemble a stained glass window of a cathedral. The Fourth Estate has taken over the role previously held by the Church in our society. Using words they are a sophisticated form of […]

Policeman’s Pirouette
By NZB3
The cops said they would tow on Friday. They said they would have it done by Monday. They said they’d do it on Tuesday, no Wednesday. Thursday came and went. Today, Friday, they said “Police Commissioner Andrew Coster said threatening to tow the vehicles of anti-mandate protesters in Wellington had escalated tensions in an unsafe […]

“Isn’t it time you packed up your tent and went home before everything turns nasty?”
By NZB3
Kerre McIvor’s talkback editorial calls for Freedom Protesters to “pack up their tents” before “everything turns nasty.” That style of threat reminds me of a viscous old school mistress I had as a kid of Kerre’s same generation. Come to think of it, she had the same hair that probably comes from the same bottle. […]

Freedom Protest is Stonewalled by Every Party?
By NZB3
“Has there ever before been a protest to parliament that was stonewalled by every party? What the heck is going on?” asks Lindsay Mitchell. This is a question NZB3 answered using a model taught to thousands of sociology students at our universities. Professor Robert K. Merton’s Social Structure and Anomie (1938) is the most popular […]

Freedom Protest “Unsafe” and “Disorganised”
By NZB3
“To be amongst the protestors is both calming and exhilarating. There’s a strong sense of trust in one another which has been long denied by lockdown separations, physical distancing and masking. People are working together to overcome adversities thrown at them by nature or the state” wrote Lindsay Mitchell last night. Unsafe? Better quarantine all […]

Take This Government Survey
By NZB3
In February 2021 the Labour 6.0 Government asked you to be a beta tester for their new forced history lessons for our kids. At that point their new compulsory history lessons were set to go in 2022. Like so many other plans of this Government they have been stalled/delayed/cancelled; This time until election year 2023 […]

Realpolitik
By NZB3
I don’t know how long this has been going on, this current form of politics. 15 or 20 Years? That’s also when a ‘debate’ stopped being a debate but instead a point-scoring game taught at our universities. I know, I was there. Debate Society at the University of Canterbury was all about disingenuous interjections and […]
