The Freedom Village on the grounds of the New Zealand Parliament is no more: for now at least.

Tensions had been rising between the police and the protesters for the last few days; no doubt brought to a head by the return of the government after their summer recess. It is rumored that Jacinda Ardern had given the police commissioner until Sunday to remove the protesters.

Events leading up to this moment included many instances of ever increasing police brutality against peaceful protesters. One of these instances included breaking open a car door, dragging out a man sleeping next to his pregnant wife, punching him into unconsciousness and leaving him in the gutter.

There were many instances of women being violently attacked. I have a video of one woman being beaten in the face with a police riot shield. Others were knocked to the ground and repeatedly punched by big burly policemen. This was when most people had enough, myself included: the sight of women being treated as little more than garbage and left crying in pain and agony was too much.

By early to mid afternoon, police presence had increased dramatically. In addition to the yellow-jacketed police that we’re so familiar with there were hundreds of black clad riot police. In all there were many hundreds, even thousands of police and, to be honest, I’d be very surprised if they were all New Zealand police. Many are wondering if Ardern hadn’t called in reinforcements from overseas.

Initially the conflict started in the streets outside parliament, many of the protesters were drawn from parliament grounds to hold the line. The police from behind massive riot shields and with huge amounts of pepper spray managed to advance steadily as the protesters were forced to withdraw and wash out their eyes with milk.

By mid afternoon the police launched a gas attack – I’m not sure if it was tear gas or a massive amount of pepper spray – on the parliament grounds. Here, while most were out holding the line in the street, the women and children were left in what was thought to be relative safety, and so this was a gas attack on mainly women and children.

As the afternoon wore on, police managed to breach the perimeter of the parliament grounds. Again, from behind riot shields and using massive amounts of pepper spray, they steadily advanced, beating many protesters on the way. The police kicked over a generator as they advanced, this started a fire that spread rapidly as the hay that had been spread on the lawns started to burn, then to nearby tents. Soon gas bottles started to explode and trees started to burn.

The fire engines were unable to bypass the concrete bollards that the police had installed and initially were unable to control the fire.

This is the day that the once beautiful and proud parliamentary grounds looked like a war zone with a pall of black smoke over the parliamentary buildings.

The police advanced, the protesters withdrew bit by bit while throwing anything that they could find at the police. The anger was palpable. You have to remember that many of these protesters had lost everything due to Arderns Covid restrictions, lockdowns, closed borders, mandates and other ridiculous measures. People had lost their jobs, businesses, homes and their loved ones, they had nowhere else to go; here they had found comradeship, a place to be with like minded people where they would be looked after and fed.

All that the people wanted was for the Ardern government to listen and talk to them but this was not and was never going to be forthcoming. Ardern instead stated that these protesters were driven by false information, only information that came from her mouth was valid and true.

Freedom village may be gone for at least now but I don’t think that this is over. As I write there is another convoy from Auckland and another from the South Island approaching Wellington. Ardern completely underestimated her own people. Kiwis are a tough, resourceful bunch. They know how to live off the land and endure hardship. Maybe this is just the beginning.

For the last few years, New Zealand has endured the virtue signaling, false smiling puppet of the World Economic Forum and United Nations that Ardern is. Now however the Kiwis and the world can see her for the tyrant that she really is. Now there is no doubt as to the evil that we’re really fighting against.

There was never any real intention to end the Covid tyranny. It was just a stepping stone in the slow insidious process of establishing totalitarian control over our lives. Make no mistake: New Zealand, Australia and Canada are just prototypes for the coming tyranny and you’ve seen nothing yet. Scenes such as those I’ve witnessed today, if we lose this fight, will soon be very routine.

Don’t forget: if the Commonwealth falls to this tyranny, so too will Britain, Europe and maybe the US. Don’t forget: Boris Johnson’s governments still hasn’t revoked the coronavirus acts that enabled this type of tyranny in Britain and I very much doubt that there is any real intention of doing so.

As for the people of New Zealand: I’ve never seen such anger, I’m very sure that they will regroup to fight this tyranny. Now it isn’t just a case of wanting to remove Covid mandates or even Ardern’s government. Now, the rapidly awakening people of New Zealand don’t want a government at all, they want an entirely new system and they’re willing to fight to get it

Maybe Jacinda Ardern really should have taken the time to talk to the people.

Ed: I am adding the text of this email I received from our NZ Correspondent after they’d sent in their report:

“Hi Viv

Even the mainstream media here have admitted that the police used rubber bullets on the protesters, even firing some in the direction of children:

“Covid 19 Wellington protest: Police fire rubber bullets at mob; protesters smash university campus; PM blasts occupiers ‘desecrating’ Parliament”

I haven’t embedded the link as usual but left it in ‘as is’. Clicking on that link takes you to the article – only, the propaganda masters running the editorial offices of the NZ Herald have changed both the title of the article and of the URL. Now it now reads that the police used ‘sponge bullets’. Note that the original link, as emailed by our NZ Correspondent, goes to the NZ article, no problem. That title, that article must therefore have said ‘rubber bullets’, not ‘sponge bullets’

These people are shameless.

These people are the same who want us to believe every word they write about Ukraine and Russia. These are the same people who deny us access to Russian media, to ‘protect us from misinformation’. 

We do indeed live in evil times, times which our political leaders and their helpers in the MSM have created.

Take care, all of you!
