Written by our New Zealand Correspondent
As I predicted on Tuesday 8th February 2022 in my report The Spirit of a Nation, the carnival-like atmosphere at the New Zealand Convoy protest at the Parliament in Wellington didn’t last long. This Thursday morning, 10th February 2022, police advanced, forced protesters off of the Parliament grounds and tried to hold the crowd at bay – see this video footage here, an interview with a police superintendent. [Ed: the video is in the NZ Herald and there’s a handy little map of the area around the Parliament building.]
By the time I turned up later in the morning, things had changed. Walking along Lambton Quay, life seemed fairly normal in Wellington, until as I walked towards Parliament, I suddenly heard the constant blaring of car and truck horns. Every road around Parliament was brought to a standstill with parked vehicles, every driveway and grass verge had vehicles parked on it. Even the Prime Minister’s residence opposite Parliament had tents and vehicles pitched and parked on the lawns.
The Police had fallen back and the protesters were back on the grounds of Parliament in huge numbers, there were tents everywhere. The event had grown exponentially since I had last been there on the previous Tuesday. The Police on the whole were being very professional but at the time there had been fifty arrests that day. At one end of Parliament there seemed to be a flash point. People left the front line after having been pepper~sprayed. They spent some time obviously suffering, washing their eyes with bottled water before returning to the fray.
The occupation of Parliament Hill is growing, people are still arriving from all over the country, with many planning to arrive at the weekend. Some seem to be camped there permanently, while others stay for a day or two before going home, to be replaced by new arrivals. These people are determined to keep going until the job is done. There are rumours of the army being called in but I think they are reluctant to deploy against their own countrymen.
In the meantime Jacinda Ardern has responded to the protests in an almost dismissive way, see this from the New Zealand Herald: “Covid 19 Omicron convoy: Time for protesters to move on, police’s job to handle – Prime Minister”
A friend of mine is a clinical psychologist. He assures me that in his professional opinion Jacinda Ardern is a psychopath. My friend told me to look at her facial expressions: there’s very little facial movement but what there is looks very insincere, as if she’d been practising in front of a mirror. Ardern is obviously rather false and full of faked emotions; the above video footage illustrates this perfectly.
Ardern recently cancelled her wedding. She told the nation that it was due to the Omicron crisis, that she was just like you and I and had to make sacrifices. I saw a sign by some of the protesters which surprised me and I decided to enquire further. I was told that the real reason Ardern had cancelled her wedding was because her partner, Mr Clarke Gayford, had been arrested and held on remand for drug smuggling.
The above rumours regarding Gayford had been circulating on the Internet for some time, claiming that he was being held on home detention. Apparently he has been arrested again and is now in prison on remand. The protesters were emphatic about this and, given the amount of planning that has gone into these protests, I’ve learnt to trust some of these sources. I was told that Gayford has been granted name suppression until the 21st of February. Perhaps then we’ll know if there has been a cover up and a scandal is now about to break. If so, Ardern won’t be able to spin her way out of this one.
There is a mountain of evidence emerging as to the horrendous amount of vaccine injuries and deaths in New Zealand. If you go to MeWe.com and open an account and then go to this link, it’ll take you to The Health Forum New Zealand. Here you’ll find information and really tragic accounts and statements by victims of these covid vaccines, not to mention links to other sources of information.
It never ceases to amaze those of us who are awake when we watch Ardern, with her fake smile, imploring people to get vaccinated or get a booster, in the face of all of the information available, of which she surely ought to be aware of: only a psychopath could do this.
The people of New Zealand are settling in for the long haul. Unfortunately I think that things will get nasty but the Kiwis are a tough breed, mountain men that have learnt to endure harsh conditions and are more than a match for a few Communists.
Don’t forget to get updates on Counterspin Media but take into account the time difference. Another way to get involved is to search for and download the App: “Zello”. Open the app and search for the group: ‘freedom convoy 2022 nz.’ This is the group for the convoy organisers and you’ll only be allowed to listen but it’s just like being there and it is live. The other group is: ‘Freedom convoy 2022 Nz social.’ This is a more social group where you’re allowed to chat.
It’s been a lonely time in New Zealand. We live on a small island, isolated by thousands of miles of ocean. I’m very sure that short messages of support from Britain would be very well received!
As I finish writing this article and listening to Zello, it appears that the Police are dropping their line and the people are surging forward as they can now enter Parliament. The protest organisers are worried and suspicious that the Police are preparing to bring in heavy vehicles, the riot squad or even the army. I must finish now but this is a very fast developing situation so use the above links to keep up to date, this is just the beginning.

Ed: Just as we published this report, we received the following email from our NZ Correspondent:
“I’ll post updates in the comments, things have moved on already. Unfortunately now, news is coming out of police brutality, a seventy year old man and fourteen year old girl beaten up by police, one woman in hospital with a ruptured spleen and many cases of broken bones. With this kind of news, it has provoked the people, a second wave convoy is coming, many thousands more people are on their way to Parliament.”
Ed: Please check in for more updates which will be posted in the comments section – but be aware of the time difference, NZ is 13 hours ahead of the UK.

Massive protests in Christchurch, Hawkes Bay and around the country, this is spreading.
Meanwhile at Parliament, despite attempts to drench the protesters, they’re still there and their numbers have increased exponentially again.
Today parliament is besieged with tens of thousands of people, another two convoys have arrived and there isn’t any room left on parliament’s grounds and so the whole of parliament hill is overflowing with people and vehicles.
This is unprecedented in little, sleepy New Zealand, history in the making and it won’t stop until Ardern and her government are gone. The government as all governments around the world have done have tries to divide the people but they have miscalculated, the people of New Zealand have never been more determined and united.
There is some good video and pictures of today’s events in the NZ Herald here. The mainstream media can’t ignore or cover this up any longer, although they still try and smear the protesters.
“Covid 19 Omicron outbreak: Parliament protests enter fifth day, despite sodden conditions”

This is an interesting article from the NZ Herald.
The Speaker of the House, Trevor Mallard, ordered the parliament lawn sprinklers to be turned on overnight to add to the torrential rain in an effort to move the protesters on.
This hasn’t worked, they’ve underestimated the resilience of these people, they just dug trenches in the parliamentary lawns to divert the water away from their tents. The lawns of the New Zealand Parliament are starting to look like the Somme in wartime.
“Covid 19 Omicron outbreak: Protesters stay put, country hits new record nearing 500 daily cases” Great pictures!

A very fascinating video from Free NZ that starts at the back of parliament, the journalist tries to join a press conference but it was for accredited journalists only; those that would print the government narrative. This then goes on to reveal some very interesting facts about Parliament and government before giving some great footage of the peaceful protest in front of the NZ parliament.

A video interview with a fourteen year old child that was yesterday lying in the mud in
Wellington with the police kneeling on his neck.

I have just been watching an interview with one of the women that was brutalised by the police yesterday at Parliament and it was heartbreaking. What a lovely woman, a healer and mother that was just on the front line singing a song of peace, only to be elbowed in the sternum by a woman police officer for committing no offense whatsoever. She was left on her hands and knees for over an hour in agony before the police called an ambulance, where it was discovered that two thirds of her sternum were broken; the police had no sympathy at all.
The police instigated this violence, the protesters are dedicated to holding a peaceful protest only to be vilified as far right thugs by the mainstream media. Anyone that lives in a country governed by Tudeau, Ardern, Morrison or Macron, can’t have failed to notice the militarisation of the police in these countries and this is why these extreme left wing politicians must be removed, they are dangerous and as bad as Hitler or Stalin.
Today, after the videos of the police violence were released, the police afraid of bad publicity have erected barriers to avoid having to confront the protesters face to face. Things are quite at the moment and will probably remain so for the weekend as the weather forecast is awful with torrential rain expected. The protesters will probably remain hunkered down in their tents and camper vans but one thing I can assure you, they will not go home; the crowd had actually grown today and there are thousands more freedom loving Kiwis on the way.
“…militarisation of the police in these countries…” Don’t complacently think it won’t happen soon in UK also. Behind the scenes Government functions including police and military are quietly being “fused.”
This is wonderful news but we still need to be vigilant. The globalist enemy is racing against time to set up their central bank digital currency , backed as they hope by digital ID and an integrated international “security” state, before they lose control of us Great Unwashed. Some people estimate that they will be ready to go with this in 1 to 2 years. My guess is that they will engineer an internet outage so that electronic transactions will no longer be possible; there will be pandemonium for a while then they come to the “rescue” with their Social Credit system thus totally enslaving everyone caught in it.
Unfortunately while most of the population were cowering under the bed from Covid over the past 2 years they had a head start of 2 years in which to work on this project unhampered, unsuspected and unobserved.
I have saved and shared all the information. Things are looking up but hopefully not for the despots. It is not enough that they are deposed, they need to be punished.
Three cheers for Kiwi and Canadian Protests.
Sorry, I am more concerned with what is going on in our won country at the moment. We have a lame duck prime minister at the helm who seems to think that the draconian Covid rules and regulations that he dreamt up and imposed upon the population without so much as a debate in parliament, did not apply him, his family, work colleagues or friends. Apart from that he was elected in December 2019 on a supposed Conservative agenda, to take the is country out of the European Union, and take full advantage of all opportunities that Brexit presented us. However he has proven himself to be utterly useless, and has transformed the Conservative Party into a wet, woke and left leaning Liberal Party with a Green agenda, which few of us voted for. The cost of living is expected to go through the roof, part of our country (Northern Ireland) has effectively been annexed by the European Commission with different customs rules, we have no control of of our own borders and his government allows thousands of illegal migrants to waltz into our country and offered all the benefits under the sun, and our own fishermen have been shafted whilst the French continue to fish within six miles of our shoreline. I think we have had just enough of this man thank you. Why is Johnson still prime minister? He needs to be out and out very very soon, and a more competent individual appointed to replace him. And why is he sabre rattling in Poland making making threats against the Russians when he should be devoting all his time and efforts on protecting our own shores from invasion. He makes me sick to the stomach he really does.
Well said Colin.
Colin. I concur with all of your frustrations about Billy Bunter but also suspicious about why so many nations are being marched lockstep towards the NWO and the Build Back Better by their so say democratically elected leaders. Bunter looked terrified when he left ICU after covid treatment, the only person I’ve ever seen to come out of intensive care fatter than when he went in and has never recovered his mo jo. Can one assume that those who pull his strings put the willies up him? Bunter only let us have Christmas to save his fat backside politically and to give us an illusion that life will return to pre pandemic ‘normal’. What if the harsh lockdown meted out in Canada and New Zealand are practice runs of what is our destiny? Climate change lockdown coming down the line? What of the different level of policing according to whether you are the right type of protester- XR, Is there anything we can get you? Or Brexiteers or Freedom Convoy supporters who get fuel stolen from them, kettled and roughly handled? What transpires in Canada and NZ affects us. It seems to be moving towards a national strike in Canada. Will the army be called in? If so what then? How many will support freedom and how many will stand against their countrymen ? The great resist is vital.
Some video that NZ Health Forum posted on Facebook that really shows the Police violence on the front line, this is a must watch even at 37 minutes long.

Well well done Derek drawing ou attention to this excellent article on TCW (the Conservative Woman)
I note someone from here has already returned the compliment and posted details of the latest news on the progress of the New Zealand Convoy and “camp out ”
We can unite and win if more people “PASS IT ON”
Thank you NZ correspondent for your reports on the situation in your country. The police are being brutal to the peaceful protesters from what I have been seeing. Please keep us informed. Stand strong, Kiwis.
Of course, most of the MSM in Canada have been ‘bought’ by bail outs during the pandemic so the coverage there is just what Trudeau wants it to be. He has yet to meet the Truckers representatives in the Freedom Convoy. Clearly they are the wrong sort of protesters for the rainbow sock puppet’s taste.
Here is a recent report from Fox News.
This is a war with many campaigns on different fronts. Paul Weston has a very good summary here on the Canadian front.
Stick in there! ‘……..there is an infrastructure building around the protest now that will allow them to stay until the job is done”. Absolutley, essential!
Keep up the pressure Kiwis, you are an inspiration. Hold the line and do not be downhearted, do not let tyrants rule your lives – they must fall.
Best wishes from the UK. This is from The conservative woman website, and article that sums up the global situation perfectly:
https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/trudeau-faces-a-force-mightier-than-trucks-the-people-fuelled-by-love-of-freedom/
Indeed Derek; if only our own would waken up and face down government.
One of the big food companies has come down on the side of the protesters and is looking for volunteers with trucks and trailers to ship food from the North and South Islands to Wellington to feed the protesters.
This is good, there is an infrastructure building around the protest now that will allow them to stay until the job is done.
The protesters are digging in for the long haul.
Other news. A court under Common Law has issued an arrest warrant for murder against the New Zealand Health Minister, Andrew Little after a young man died and a coroner declared that he died because of the vaccine.
The police don’t seem to want to arrest Little and NZ citizens are planning a citizens arrest, this hasn’t happened yet but we can hope and watch this space.
The way that Common Law works in this case is beyond my comprehension but it seems that there is a case to be answered but neither the police or government are going to take action if they can help it.
Things have moved on since I sent in this article. Unfortunately now there have been reports of police brutality at Parliament. A fourteen year old girl and seventy year old man have been beaten up by police, a woman is in hospital with a ruptured spleen and others with broken bones.
There were 150 arrests today but most of these people were released after an hour and they rejoined the front line.
It seems that the police have been trying to provoke the peaceful protesters in order to justify increased force and although the protesters have been trying to avoid violence, the police have made this impossible. Meanwhile the mainstream media are trying to slur the protesters and there wasn’t one politician in Parliament from any political party that would speak in favour of the protester.
There is a massive second wave convoy coming to Wellington, particularly since people have heard the news of the violence, people are on their way from every corner of NZ.
The police have reinforcements on the way but so do the protesters. From the NZ Herald:
“Police officers filmed dragging naked protester by her hair on Parliament grounds”
