China’s Influence on NZ before the ‘Chinese Virus’

Long before the Chinese Communist party gifted the world the “Chinese virus” they had already infiltrated New Zealand’s political immune system. As lockdown has brought thousands of new readers to the BFD I thought that now would be a good time to bring the following series of articles about

Ardern is Always Right

Ardern is Always Right

Stuff, yesterday morning, congratulated us all on getting through and advised us, for posterity, “It may pay to jot down a few notes – send yourself an email…because memory fades.” It certainly does, especially when left-wash is happening right in front of our eyes. They are rewriting everything ‘Dear Leader’

The Most Diabolical Question of All!

The Most Diabolical Question of All!

Mark The question is this: If the lockdown continues, how many more people will die as a result of severe economic collapse rather than from the coronavirus, even if we had not made an attempt to contain it? I’m not talking about secondary deaths due to poverty-related illnesses or

Covid Disasters or Silver Linings?

Covid Disasters or Silver Linings?

As often happens with disasters, natural and man-made, the Chinese virus pandemic is a playground for every prognosticator, soothsayer and two-bit pundit. Unsurprisingly, the predicted long-term effects of the pandemic always seem to be remarkably in tune with the pundit’s prejudices. The Green-Left are eagerly anticipating a mass conversion

This Mad Marxist Experiment Must End

This Mad Marxist Experiment Must End

In the year 1910, a law-abiding New Zealand citizen would hardly have been aware of the operation of the State. He would be aware of policemen walking the beat. He would probably use the Post Office. If a city dweller, he would ride on municipal trams. But that would have

COVID-19: How Globalism Failed Italy

COVID-19: How Globalism Failed Italy

Giacomino Nicolazzo is an Italian-American writer who, it seems fairly obvious, is not a fan of left-wing politics. As such, his characterisation of most left-wing politicians as “communists” might be taken with a grain of salt. But his account of the concatenation of dodgy policy decisions which ultimately, if unintentionally,

Spare Us from These Little Hitlers

Spare Us from These Little Hitlers

In the final episode of the classic comedy The Young Ones, postman Lennie Henry greets the lads with, “Gut morgen, meine kleine freundelische!” “Bloody hell,” says Rik. “Give them a uniform and they think they’re Hitler!” The same might be said for bureaucrats and coppers given a taste of

Shock Revelation: China Is STILL Lying

Shock Revelation: China Is STILL Lying

OK. Sit down, brace yourselves – this is going to come as a bit of a shock. China is still lying about the Xi Plague pandemic. Shocking, I know. Who’d have thought that a mass-murdering communist dictatorship would lie? Next, they’ll be telling us that China murdered and enslaved

From Cynicism to Reality

Before I start, I want to record that I had the misfortune to be too near the television on Tuesday afternoon and heard the “Duchess of Ardern” Jacinda Ardern, royally, for the umpteenth time, spout the lie of going hard and going early. I can cope with hearing a mistruth

Now China’s Coming for Our Hospitals

Now China’s Coming for Our Hospitals

The Morrison government recently announced that it was lowering the threshold for screening foreign acquisitions in Australia to $0. Treasurer Josh Frydenberg promised that all foreign investments would be scrutinised to protect the national interest. Politicians such as Pauline Hanson and George Christensen have expressed little confidence in the Foreign

The Antidote to COVID-19 Is Communism

The Antidote to COVID-19 Is Communism

George There are five countries which are communist states. They are China, Cuba, Laos, Vietnam and North Korea. (The government of Russia is a federal semi-presidential republic). But I will include it in this analysis as it is, to all intents and purposes, a communist state. Earlier this morning I
