THE PLAN

It was the beginning of 2020. That’s when the Plan replaced the Law.


The Plan has become everything. We all live in its shadow.


The Plan establishes which businesses can open and which ones must shut. It decides which industries live and which must die. It dictates when you can leave home and why. It closes schools and playgrounds. The Plan determines whether or not you can visit nana.


The Plan has banned meetings and social gatherings. It curtails funerals, births and weddings.


It disrupts religious services.


It has seen police threaten lone surfers with arrest.


The Plan is not written but is announced each day at one from the Podium of Truth.


Unity is demanded. Dissension is censored. The citizenry is a single team of five million.


The Podium denounces non-compliers. They put us all at risk. Family, friends and neighbours are enlisted to report and admonish.


The Plan has one simple purpose: the elimination of covid-19.


There are no trade-offs, weighing of costs or benefits, there is no alternative.


The Plan is underpinned by fear. The news is of Chinese dropping in the streets, officers and medical personnel in hazmat suits, borders shut, cities locked down, supermarkets being dangerous, deep cleaned and always there is a ticker-tape record of deaths and infections. Experts talk of mass graves and tens of thousands dead.


We are endlessly admonished through public speakers to wash our hands, keep our distance, sneeze into our elbow, mask up, stay home, be kind.


And then there is us. We are the resistance. You don’t know us. We look just like you.


But we are different.


We don’t jump fearfully out of your way. We don’t cower behind perspex or cover our faces. We smile. We meet. We talk. We laugh. We argue. We don’t allow politicians or officials to tell us who we can and can’t hug.


Because the Plan has a flaw: it can’t control our minds. Or what we think.

National are the lukewarm. In defence of our free-will against the covid tyranny, lukewarm. In defence of the family unit against LGBT nonsense, lukewarm. In defence of our culture and religion, lukewarm. As lukewarm non-believers in anything they sell us out for a kopek.

Basically because although of that 15% of the population possibly only around 25% of those are active in chasing after additional rights and privileges they are ably assisted by a large %age of non-Maori who for some reason either know so little about democracy or care nothing about it and are unable to see the considerable danger that we see in the whole situation. Many of those in especially health and and in education are effectively muzzled as to speak up and fight back would likely cost them their jobs- or certainly shift them out of the promotion lane and send them to a form of coventry. Unpleasant - and so they stay silent. It's going to be a difficult…

Females are programmed for obedience. Now it is unfashionable to obey their husbands they obey Jacinda and Ashley instead. And comprise their media groupies.

The big problem the center right have, is that we tend to work hard trying to keep our businesses afloat and focus on the issues that are close to us. The covert political agenda that is being hatched behind closed doors is happening with no input or protest from us. We are facing the pending nightmare of a mere 15% of light brown extremists acquiring massive political power as a result of people like us not doing anything to stop this rotten egg from hatching. Surely its time to unite and either support Act and encourage them to start putting seriuos pressure on the coalition to make public their diabolical agenda or ask National to get out of bed and…

I think you're on to it - the majority of NZers are busy. Busy with work, family, paying bills, fixing the house, gardening, commuting & shopping . Few have time to sit down and spend time thinking about politics and understanding what's going on behind their backs. Their world appears to be just fine, based on what they see in front of their nose and what the TV tells them.

Voters are asleep at the wheel.


At this point I'm not sure of I quote Edmund Burke and “All that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing”,


Or do I quote Ronnie Raegan? “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn'…
