This morning Jacinda Ardern received an honorary doctorate from Harvard University, hitting out in her acceptance speech against keyboard warriors spreading disinformation:
“When facts are turned into fiction, and fiction turned into fact, you stop debating ideas and you start debating conspiracy.”
Was she echoing Orwell’s 1984?
“His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies…to repudiate morality while laying claim to it,…to believe that the Party was the guardian of democracy.”
Ardern continued with a sordid use of imagery worthy of Orwell:
“In my mind, when I read something especially horrific on my feed, I imagine it’s written by a lone person, unacquainted with personal hygiene practices, dressed in a poorly fitted superhero costume – one that is baggy in all the wrong places.”
I Have to Be Cruel to Be Kind
Ardern said her speech was about kindness, presumably that special brand of kindness that is hard to recognise. As Hamlet said after berating his mother “I have to be cruel to be kind”.
Was Ardern’s brand of kindness at work when she famously deleted in a single night 33,000 comments on her feed informing her of personal stories of the adverse effects of Covid vaccination?
Ardern might just as well have entitled her speech: “I have sat on my hands and refused to read my emails. I insist that other MPs do the same. I am the sole source of truth. The world needs this.”
The historical antecedents of the rejection of protestors, writers, and intellectuals as irrelevant, dirty, and dangerous spreaders of disease and disinformation certainly escaped Ardern and probably most Harvard graduates. The 1930s don’t feature much in modern curricula.
Ignorance is No Excuse
As all cause mortality rises, as another new study shows the immune system of the vaccinated exhibits dangerous antibody instability, as infections and hospitalisations among the vaccinated overtake the unvaccinated, we no longer need to speculate about where this is going.
History tells us that it will end badly for many. An outcome of which Ardern appears to be determined to remain ignorant and condemn as conspiracy without discussion—by government decree.
But of course, it is much worse than mere ignorance, as Sir Walter Scott said:
“OH WHAT A TANGLED WEB WE WEAVE,
WHEN FIRST WE PRACTICE TO DECEIVE.”
Master of Disinformation
Ardern is a master of disinformation, coercion, and suppression. Her continuing (but thankfully waning) popularity is a reflection of her practice of controlling the media through continuing large cash grants and revenue from saturation Covid vaccination advertising (aka old fashioned bribery).
As a result, New Zealanders are dying in greater numbers not only unaware that this may have anything to do with Covid vaccination but actually told by the government that it does not and cannot.
The cardiac wards are overflowing, but governments are not letting on. In the history of mass poisoning, there is no parallel in the world.
When Is a Crime Not a Crime?
When the government says so. This happens when the government and the medical profession not only cannot be held accountable for their actions but wilfully exploit this loophole to the full.
We have reached the apogee of the era of unaccountably disregarded consequences for which Ardern is the unapologetic international poster child.
Ardern’s Harvard speech reportedly generated emotional rapture. She received a standing ovation. What does that mean for our future and the future of the world?

Thank you for this work.. It is important to put the word out and keep it in the light of day.
It is astonishing how determined our PM is to ignore and/or deny this.
It is especially galling when you know someone in power, in this case Ardern, is bare-faced lying to the public and using a prestigious event to do so. The establishment now so controls the media, much of academia, and has brainwashed most of the public so that they unquestioningly accept everything told to them.
We are living in sinister and disconcerting times in which a new world elite are attempting to bypass and phase out democracy to ensure their views are the only ones heard. This is all about power and money.
Covid, climate change and whatever the next manufactured global emergency they think up are all designed to keep us scared and compliant until their new world order is established and we can never get rid if them.
Sadly, I have to agree with you
You stand up and ovate like that when you’re in a totalitarian state and you know full well upon which side your bread is buttered.
Excuse me while I adjust my onesie - i have no one - no one! to do it for me.
Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, in my experience most US citizens barely know where New Zealand is.I think the "rapturous applause"is merely by those who are already converted. 300,000,000 million population there don't forget. I think we are better focusing on what she says and does here. That's of course if she appears visible and accountable to Kiwis at any stage of the proceedings.
when my nephew was considering MBA, i was looking into harvard as an option for him. last week he told me he's more interested in other options. i can safely say that i don't need to worry about his future :)
'rapturous applause' is (or used to be) a default response to all guest speakers on campus during graduation ceremonies - perhaps out of courtesy. we had bloomberg - everyone hated him, but cancellation was not popular - and he received applause despite spouting nonsense.
