You can imagine my astonishment at this frank admission by the Harris campaign; as well as my astonishment at the findings of the Royal Commission into Covid-19. The honesty being shown quite genuinely has left me speechless. I fully expected it to be a hagiography of Jacinda Ardern by the ‘usual suspects’, completely ignoring truth, reality and many other things. I even wrote an essay here saying so!
The strong criticism of vaccine mandates, the demonisation of those opposed to taking the vaccine, the refusal of ministers to address protestors at parliament, Ardern’s preposterous claim to be the “single source of truth” and a number of other matters has left me enormously impressed. Sorry to keep flogging the horse: but I never in a million years expected any of this.
Even more curious is the media reporting of the inquiry report. The NZ Herald has actually published the strong criticisms of Ardern without pulling punches. A glaring example is this quotation: “Inquiry head Tony Blakely, an epidemiologist, said on Wednesday that vaccine mandates caused huge pain to a ‘substantial minority’ during the pandemic and the Government should consider whether their benefits outweighed their harms.” The Herald actually published that damning indictment of Ardern. They also published comments from a few nonentity Labour party apparatchiks but nobody cares what they have to say.
It was a nasty trick to pull on millions of people to pretend Harris was going to win the election when they knew full well she was heading for defeat – able only to win those states (ahem) not requiring voter ID – and consequently the shock and disappointment is greater. In previous elections the media had been honest about the chances of Walter Mondale, John Kerry, John McCain or Bob Dole, so it wasn’t really a surprise when they lost. There was no hysterical screaming and shaving of heads.
Similarly it was a nasty trick for the media and others to side with the Ardern regime, not engage in either truth telling or scrutiny and instead to engage in a massive campaign to attack any criticism by the general public – that it was either imaginary or simply ‘racist’ (the usual trick) – when it would seem an awful lot of people knew differently. Labour Leader Chris Hipkins is effectively acknowledging everyone outside of the Beehive was correct and everyone inside wrong – but don’t hold it against him because he wants to win the next election.
Sometimes, the system actually does work: the truth comes out and the good guys win and the bad guys are exposed.
Capitalist is a simple country boy from the deep south who seeks nothing less than the destruction of socialism and collectivism in New Zealand. This article was first published HERE

Grant Robertson is on closer to 660k.
No anon. He has had a wage rise due to his incredible productivity; and how he has improved the university’s world ranking.
There are certain characteristics of progressives I am beginning to observe . One of them is to be self deluded and make profligate promises about what they are going to achieve. But these promises never come to fruition . Still they continue with this foolish behaviour. It as if simply believing something makes it come to pass.
The same thing happened with the vaccines which were declared to be safe and effective based on no evidence. The ' Covid Papers -Crimes against humanity ' by Naomi Wolf , were much more thorough and honest than the NZ investigation. The control group for the covid research was vaccinated as well as the experimental group which meant nobody can do comparisons. This made the research invalid. The pharmaceutical companies made profligate promises about stopping transmission , reducing death rates , that vaccines were saving us from a pandemic , that the vaccines were safe for children and young adults , the vaccines were the only medication you could take and many more lies.
Let's call the 2020s the ' Era of Great Deception ' promulgated by a duplicitous media.
