[Ed: In a change to the usual program we publish this important report from the Freedom Convoy in New Zealand. The protest is ongoing. The photos are from our New Zealand correspondent. You’ll not find any reports on the NZ Freedom Convoy in our MSM.]
The New Zealand people have finally had enough of Jacinda Ardern. They’ve realised that there is no point in trying to negotiate with a psychopath. This particular psychopath has already run the once prosperous New Zealand into the ground. New Zealand is now saddled with more debt than five million people could ever repay. Tourism, a once major part of the economy, has been decimated and industries generally have been destroyed in the name of Covid, with unemployment exponentially rising.
New Zealand is an agricultural country but its farmers have been victimised too. With Jacinda’s globalist green agenda, officials have designated massive acreages of farmland as ‘Areas of Special Interest or Natural Beauty’ and demanded that farmers fence them off. These areas aren’t allowed to be used for further farming and yet the farmers are still expected to pay for their upkeep. In other words, Jacinda and her government are trying to put the farmers out of business along with everybody else.
Other unpopular plans include centralising control of the country’s water supply, putting it in the hands of central government. What we’re looking at here is a complete grab of every single resource in New Zealand: Communism on steroids.
People are sick of the vaccine apartheid and extreme coercion, especially as frightening evidence emerges of thousands of vaccine injuries and deaths. Jacinda Ardern ignores all of the evidence and with a smile urges and implores the population to get their vaccines and now boosters, claiming that they are “safe and effective.” Only a complete psychopath would be able to do this.
There have been spectacular protests in Wellington by various freedom groups. They’ve demanded an end to the Covid scam and at the last protest demanded that the government step down. They have been completely ignored.
Now the New Zealand people realise that it is time to step things up a notch. No doubt inspired by events in Ottawa, Canada, a convoy was organised to head to Wellington and occupy the city until the government steps down. The stated aim is to close down Parliament and have it designated as a crime scene. We’ll have to see what happens.
On Sunday the 6th of February two convoys were started, one from Bluff at the bottom of the South Island and one from Cape Reinga at the top of the North Island. The plan is to have both convoys meet in Wellington on Tuesday the 8th February, although perhaps not all of the South Island convoy will be able to make it across the Cook Strait by ferry.
As the convoys passed through towns and cities more and more vehicles joined them and masses of people lined the streets, roads and bridges, waving flags and banners in support.
The North Island convoy split up as it headed South with one half heading along the East Coast and the other along the West coast. As the part of the convoy that went West headed through Napier, it became apparent that it was swelling to massive proportions. At this time people estimated that by the time the North Island convoy approached Wellington it would be seventy kilometres long.
I caught the train into Wellington very early on Tuesday the 8th just to be there to welcome it. The convoy had started to arrive but the volume of traffic was building. Police had made attempts to slow the convoy down but in spite of the delays, the convoy was getting through and building up steadily. It’ll probably take all day for the entire convoy to arrive.
I went to chat to some of the people from the convoy. The first that I met were some guys from Hawke’s Bay Region. They’d stopped on the way to do a bit of hunting and were frying up some venni and paua (abalone) on the back of their truck. I liked these blokes, they offered me a venni sandwich. These were typical Kiwis, they loved their freedom and their land and just wanted the government to leave them alone to get on with their lives.
Already there was a colourful spread of people and vehicles lining the roads around Parliament, many bearing banners that described their feelings in no uncertain terms, very unflattering to a particular horse faced person.
On the grounds of Parliament, the crowds had already started to gather but many, many more would be arriving throughout the day. For now a carnival atmosphere prevails, the people are so friendly and glad to see each other, they’re waiting for the long line of speakers that will be appearing later in the day as the summer sun shines upon them. The aim is for a million Kiwis to be on the streets of Wellington today. It is ambitious as that would represent twenty percent of the country’s population but there will be many tens of thousands for sure.
You can follow the action over the coming days here at Counterspin Media. [Ed: See also this video from Wellington, others are here and here. To put the number of participants into perspective, remember that New Zealand’s population is only 5.084 million!]
It is early days yet. The people are digging in their heels and just as in Canada they plan on staying until the job is done. There is a growing army of volunteers to feed the protesters over the coming days or even weeks.
There will be twists and turns to this story. Already in Canada Trudeau is said to have called in riot police and given them instructions to arrest people and have Ottawa cleared by Friday. Jacinda Ardern, like Trudeau, Macron and others is a graduate of the World Economic Forum Young Leaders Initiative: psychopaths every one of them and that probably includes Boris Johnson too. Like Trudeau, Ardern will not back down, she will need to be dragged kicking and screaming from Parliament.
These globalists and their masters have spent too many decades and too much of their money and resources making their meticulous plans to enslave us with their Great Reset. They won’t just give up. Now though, the worm has turned, the battle lines are being drawn and in New Zealand and Canada, the people want their countries back. Unfortunately the carnival like atmosphere currently prevailing at the New Zealand Parliament will probably be short lived.
Thank you Viv for the chance to hear of stirrings at last from the Antipodes.
I don’t suppose the MSM here have commented, nevermindmade a feature of something that is happening in their and our Commonwealth, among people, many who are really our kits and kin.
I have been watching Mark Steyn on GB tv tonight and he did makeabriefmention of New Zealand, among his much more lucid exposure of the Ottowa truckers, who do appear to be making some progress in that Sakatewan has dropped theCovid Passportmandate and I believe a leading Conservative in that country has resigned., also I believe there has been an effective extension of the truckers campaign to the Border area where goods travel to Canada from Detroit
Well done Viv for the coup!
A splendid article! I am full of admiration for all those who are taking part in these hugely encouraging protests! The video I watched earlier today (I think posted yesterday by Ceri) of ChrisSky addressing the assembled crowd in Ottawa gave me goosebumps. The whole crowd was completely engaged with the purpose of their protest! Their treacherous government (as all our governments are doing) has alienated the people completely! My heart and good wishes are with each and every one of those who are fighting for the freedom of the World!
Thank you I.D. for telling us there are these massive protests in New Zealand and Canada.
More and more I wonder whether something similar could happen here in the U.K.
Much of what Ardern has done in N.Z. has already been happening here in a diluted form. I mean isn’t our wonderful ‘Green’ government backing ‘rewilding’ schemes instead of growing FOOD?
Good to see the people rising up against tyranny. Now we know why the good citizens of the US will not give up their Second Amendment. Of course we don’t want outright war on the streets but it would be good to be prepared and might make government think twice. At some point we might also hope that the military and police realise who the real enemy is and who they should be serving.
Thank you Viv for this article. What fine people; wish I could be there with them in their sterling work to put up resistance to the dispicable Adern and Trudeau.
If there is anyone on here still paying their BBC licence fee they too are part of the problem I am afraid to say.
Wasn’t me who wrote this, sorry!
Very grateful to you for its publication Viv!
bbc poll part of the problem? They do a sterling job doncha know? All that extensive tv news coverage of a dead indian singer getting adulation for the very first time: anywhere. And the BBC www sports page ‘Indian Sportswoman of the Year nominees revealed’. Monster coverage.
Who wants to know about the lorry protests when the bbc serves up such ‘period drama’?
Well done New Zealand, all power to you.
I second that!
This is wonderful. I had heard nothing but bad news from NZ, except of the potential legal challenges.
Snippets from a Canadian news report, with my additions.
Mayor of Ottawa said, “Clearly, we are outnumbered and we are losing this battle …This has to be reversed – we have to get our city back.” So a throng of peaceful protesters is a battle? And OUR city? It’s their capitol city too.
He said the protests posed a threat to residents’ safety. Except they are feeding the homeless and keeping the streets clean.
There have also been reports of racial attacks. Yeah, right, reports. If there had been anything at all you can bet your life we would have seen footage and arrests. All we have seen is a few insipid false flag incidents. But I have seen full on support from Sikh drivers, first nationers (the approved designation), and Polish ladies delivering food and saying they know what Communism is like.
Speaking to Canadian radio station CFRA, Mayor Watson said the protesters were behaving increasingly “insensitively” by continuously “blaring horns and sirens, [setting off] fireworks and turning it into a party”. Sorry? Partying, fireworks, insensitivity? I thought he said it was a threat to safety and a battle.
Go Truckers, you are an inspiration and quite possibly saving the world, and that is one statement that is not an exaggeration.
Where’s ukip.?
TRUCKERS.
For some time now it has been apparant that our leaders and cronies are abnormally speaking with one voice and agenda. Why.?. Flying in the face of so many public detractors. ? Why ? Why so secretive. They must still feel safe. How. ? It can only be money. !
Money. Big .businesses have a stranglehold over politics having already enslaved or bought them . But even that is not enough to buy that sort of 100% silence. But why would they want to trash their economy of the world
What could it be. ?. Overpopulation .?. It cannot be that, China was over-successful in the one baby rule. An asteroid ?.. …UFOs are real .?. It is natural and certain that politics holds back information. Could it just be chaos ? That’s my current theory. ( Better than postulating that electricity stops, or the non visible spectrum goes out . ! Or all those people are making the world wobble. Actually, I like that, that’s a good one }
No, it’s something coming out of the woodwork.. Something else to worry about.
But why would they want to trash the economy of the world? It can only be money.
I am afraid it is a lot more and a lot deeper than that. The hidden psychopaths at the very top of the tree want to control a world full of sheep (but a lot less sheep if they can arrange it). The more visible tier wants to trash economies and cash and appear to ride to the world’s rescue with central bank digital currencies, to hide their century-long and finally unsupportable theft of gazillions. That agenda neatly dovetails with the first lot; digital identity linked to digital money; what could go wrong? It’s the perfect ‘electric fence’ to keep the sheeple under control. And we must not overlook sociopathic billionaire ‘philanthropists’ with long family histories of eugenics proponents, who are happy to facilitate the other two groups, for their own ends.
Corporatism has gone feral. It always does when left unchecked. Problem is that those individuals and bodies responsible for keeping corporatism in check have been bought and paid for by the corporations/billionaires/charities/foundations/NGOs. The good news is there are more of us than them but where is our latter day Teddy Roosevelt to lead us in the quest to break up the robber barons?
Corporatism feeds on Big Government. If we had nation states rather than big power blocs like the EU , it would have less to feed upon? !

PPS Re who owns Bitcoin, if anyone does own it : Here is an interesting link. Where do these people fit in the Bitcoin scheme of things?
https://dcg.co/who-we-are/
Had a lot of trouble commenting lately; couldn’t this morning (got stuck in a loop of allowing cookies or not then nothing doing) but OK now.
Mary Rodney Atkinson explains well the mischievous MO of corporations. Corporations have no loyalty to any nation state and it is they who are the drivers of economic and political globalisation. As R A states we need a return to enterprise capitalism where small and medium sized businesses can prosper.
Indeed Phil.
Another possibility of course, is thet a world government is already in place with its own police etc. easily hidden in the vast bureaucratic hives of the UN., EU , London and the world. ( I like this one )
Don’t ask where is UKIP? Ask what you can do for UKIP! It wouldn’t take more than 30 conservatively minded people in each of the UKS 650 constituencies of some 50,000 constituents to join the party and get the show on the road.
Exactly Jake. Too many people concerned with saying things like ‘where’s UKIP, and why aren’t they doing anything, not realising in truth that the party has no influence whatsoever. However the UKIP leadership need to take a leaf out of Nigel Farage’ book and be more proactive in getting their views heard. He doesn’t sit at home waiting for someone to come knocking on his door to ask a question, and puts himself about. Neil Hamilton is ok, but they need somebody a bit younger as leader and who is dynamic charismatic and innovative. I am sure had Farage still been leader of UKIP their opinion poll ratings and vote shares in elections would be at least in double figures. Too many party members of all persuasions prefer to sit on their laurels and just pay the annual subscription without lifting a finger to promote that party’s profile, but its human nature I suppose. It’ always somebody else’ job, but are quick to criticise when things go wrong.
Like the Monty Python parrot – dead
No decent person would touch it now – and let’s face it, with Boris in Nr10 haven’t you had enough of sleazy party leaders.
If you are referring to UKIP, we had a promising leader in Richard Braine but he was hounded out just a time he was really needed by people who should be ashamed of themselves. If it wasnt for them we might have had a party now that would at least have held Johnsons feet to the fire.
Mary……..in hindsight you are probably right about Richard Braine. He was a younger person and intelligent. However did he not harbour an intention to bring Gerard Batten back into the fold as deputy leader. I am afraid that Batten’s actions saw the rapid demise of UKIP and MEP’s exiting the party to become either independents or joined the fledgling Brexit Party. Had Richard Braine not done this I think he might have survived….
No excuse.
Helena. On that basis would any decent person ever touch the Tory party again ?
No!
And let’s not forget where certain sleazy Tories, too much even for them, fetched up
What a story. Please keep us updated
Here’s an update on what’s going on in Canada. Tucker Carlson of Fox News interviews Ezra Levant, the lawyer who founded Rebel News. In an earlier Rebel News Ezra said, tongue in cheek, that the snowflakes’ typical breakfast is smashed avocado so all the truckers need to to is cut the supply line of avocados and job done. Much more serious situation developing now. It’s astonishing to know that the armed RMCP are taking fuel from the truckers. They need it to keep warm in their cabs overnight as it is minus 30 or so. Another way in which the truckers are to be brought to heel is the Go Fund Me which had some $10m Canadian dollars pledged for the Truckers Convoy has been closed down by silicon valley as it was brought to the CEO’s notice by Trudeau or the mayor of Ottawa, (not sure who) that the Truckers Convoy is an ‘occupation’ and not a peaceful organisation. Anyone thinking that a cashless society is a good thing may like to dwell on the stark realisation that this is an example of how tiddling off the Government could lead to your money being ‘taken’. So, in a cashless society you would have to be a good citizen, making sure that you score highly on the social credit system or else…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q6nmA-2BRoY
Thank you again for this splendid article on the situation on what’s going on in NZ. Amongst other things I had no idea that land was being taken from the farmers and that instead of being productive it is being rewilded..and the farmers have to cough up for the privilege,
I understand the Canadian riot police are planning to descend upon the truckers and protesters later this week. Might we hope that the police refuse to turn on their own countrymen but join them instead !. Without their collaboration our enemies cannot succeed . Its not looking hopeful however as they have already been confiscating their petrol.
The other things needed to foil our enemies is defeat the vacpass or Digital ID and to come up with an alternative system to the Central Bank Digital Currency (in UK that would be the slyly misleadingly named “BRITCOIN”), to replace the present fiat fiscal system which I understand is on the verge of imminent collapse. BITCOIN (not to be confused with Britcoin) has been mooted but it seems there are problems attached to that. Any ideas anyone.
Yes , as well as saving gold or property. Save a sbstantial amount of cash and silver and a sbstantial amount of cash. To increase the cash in circulation. It has a value as a medium / measure of value . Do not give cash in exchange for promises. Then it can be used in any of the ways of community exchange or international or whatever but do not surrender it to banks. Wherever their there are markets, someone will attempt to interpose themselves. Money changers .
In the 60’s, Liverpool people successfully used ‘bobbins’, as a medium of exchange. The authorities and money people have buried that out of history.
El Salvador has adopted BITCOIN as its currency. You would think the banking world, so keen on digital currency would be cock-a-hoop. But no, they are not best pleased, shall we say. I have no idea of the pitfalls or benefits, but it could not possibly be that that particular digital currency is independent and not under their control, could it!
Don’t forget, mary, that nice Mr Sunak, ex-banker, is fully on board with the Bank of England’s development of Britcoin. They will initially market it as a convenience in the same way the new Bill of Rights is quite the opposite. James Burke’s terrific series Connections, spun off from Tomorrow’s World (showing my age), showed how isolated discoveries and inventions serendipitously paved the way for another to bring them together to create something wholly new and beneficial that we now take for granted. This is not quite the same but digital ID and digital currencies are being studiously and deliberately floated quite separately. They will slam together at some point, like two poles of a magnet brought into proximity, or a cell door perhaps, and stick fast, creating something wholly new and anything but beneficial.
Here is the latest address from those wonderful truckers in Canada https://disq.us/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D3D3sYDMNiD4%23%3AsEZoQJwJJ7ceheJ7sGAPCM9ZBDI&cuid=2800408
Th comment box disappeared so in a further post here is a freedom of information letter which clearly does not for the narrative https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8ae614d2a1c5ca0a8c1bad460879f0d18ed91d36c5e15489b4085c0629434bc0.jpg
I wouldn’t put my life savings in Bitcoin ! but I think there might be a place for it in the scheme of things along with cash, precious metal coins, gold/asset backed notes? These are the sorts of things we should be thinking about now lest we get sucked by default into Central Bank Digital Currency after the coming collapse.
Zero Hedge regularly comes up with articles touting for bitcoin (their motive/agenda?) but the Zero Hedge Commenters seem less enthusiastic. Bitcoin is decentralised which is good but the main concerns are that its not tangible, plus the question of who owns it overall ? Does anyone have to own it overall? I’ll dig a few ZH articles out plus details of who does apparently currently own it. I also came across this https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/new-private-currency-uses-bills-filled-real-gold
PS The existing banking system will as we know, collapse due to the selfish irresponsibility of the banksters leaving all countries in mountains of debt. One solution would be to confiscate their trillions to clear the debt !!!!! Another more long term idea idea mooted is for the international community (not the Davos clique!) to take ownership of unclaimed unowned areas on the planet eg Antarctica? and exploit their riches for all our benefit, not just that of the elite.
“They will initially market it as a convenience…” This is particularly insidious and I fear many people will fall for it: it will mean no need for the hassle and stress of doing your self assessed tax return : apparently the Digital ID system will know what you’ve earned say as self employed, as soon as you’ve earned it, and it will immediately calculate and help itself from your account to the tax due. We’ll have a job persuading people that the evils of Central Digital ID vastly outweigh any conveniences.
There are some interesting Delingpods about thewhole subject; a particularly good one is with Dan Tubb.
Thanks, mary. You can bet your life that every facet of that life will be assigned a ‘carbon value’ and if you exceed tour allotted carbon budget for the week they will switch off your ability to purchase travel, fuel, food, heating, whatever, until you are back in credit. We all exhale CO2 so maybe they will stop us breathing. And don’t you dare hold a non-approved thought or all your communication devices will become inert and your children barred from school. And all at the flick of an algorithm.
In Ottawa the mayor has declared a state of emergency and Justin Trudeau wants the city cleared of the truckers Freedom Convoy. Anti lockdown now! Brilliant article. Thank you.
