It’s been interesting watching the NZSIS’s shift in priorities from external threats such as foreign agents of influence towards so-called ‘extremists’ in New Zealand. Of course, I was amused firstly by the NZSIS releasing a list of the 50 indicators for ‘extremism’ but also by the security threat
I loved the classics growing up. I followed the writings of Roald Dahl and CS Lewis. I also developed a love of the Victorian classics. From Oliver Twist to Sherlock Holmes I became acquainted with the literature of the Industrial era which gave me a window into the attitudes and
I can’t be the only one that is sick of the wokeifying of our comic books. From turning our favourite superheroes gay, to superheroines becoming feminist girl bosses or the constant preaching of the woke agenda in the franchise. The breaking point for me was when Marvel released a
Restore Passenger Rail is slowly becoming the newest climate change cult that has taken over New Zealand. Started by James Cockle, who became famous for challenging James Shaw for co-leadership of the Green Party, the group has decided to fight for free public transport to reduce carbon emissions by glueing
I’m sure I’m not the only one who has noticed the rise in national populism around the world. As awareness of the globalist establishment agenda is growing and resistance to the establishment grows, we are witnessing a political realignment in which the traditional left-right divide is being replaced
Bob Jones should stay in his lane. I’m not sure why he is attacking the divine authority upon which the monarchy granted his knighthood but I was surprised that he trumpeted the decline of religion in the Western world without any statistical data or an understanding of the situation.
In a previous article, I challenged you to do something about woke Hollywood. It seems that one film could show conservatives that complain about the film industry how to beat Hollywood. In the article I mentioned a film called Sound Of Freedom produced by Jim Caviezel. With the tagline ‘God’
Recently, Stuff slandered Julian Batchelor labelling him ‘racist’ for not allowing Maori activists into his Stop Co-Governance meeting. Never mind the fact that Julian repeatedly and respectfully told them that 1. It’s a private meeting 2. He believes with good reason that the people confronting him with their cameras
I enjoyed my time at university. It was definitely a time to develop my skills and grow. It helped me to strengthen my critical thinking, as well as the ability to research and analyse information. Of course, university did not turn me into a woke social justice warrior who changes
I grew up reading Roald Dahl. I enjoyed the adventures of Charlie Bucket as he explored Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory. I enjoyed following James on his voyage on the Giant Peach. I was entertained by the shenanigans of Mr Fox and was charmed by the Big Friendly Giant. However,
It was laughable watching the reactions to Benjamin Netanyahu’s Government in the mainstream media. I thought what was especially funny was the ‘far-right’ label that was placed on this new government despite the fact that ‘far-right’ traditionally has always been associated with neo-Nazis and white supremacists. This shows that
It’s been interesting watching the discussion around ‘misinformation’, ‘disinformation’ and ‘extremist content’ online. In fact, this is a new concept that has only recently entered the public discussion around digital technologies and social media. I think it is remarkable that our political elites consider them such a threat to
When I was at university, we often had political candidates come for debates. It was during these debates that students would heckle the candidates they didn’t like, especially when there was a talking point they disagreed with. The rowdiest were when representatives of different youth wings debated each other.
Information Opinion When I was in school, bullying was normal. People had different ways of dealing with it. Mine was to simply ignore bullies and not react to them. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t. However, when I got older I found that bullies became much more subtle, if
Information Opinion Previously, I wrote about the nationalist-populist revolution in Europe. As I explained, it was due to declining trust in the EU and the people’s desire for sovereignty, identity and borders. There is also rising resentment of the globalist liberal world order which attempts to spread freedom and
Most candidate debates are formal affairs with the audience hearing candidates’ pitches on why they should vote for them. This is usually moderated by a journalist who challenges each candidate with questions about issues and policy. Some debates can be entertaining due to the personalities involved in the debate: the
