Enjoy! --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/2026/08/db1b6a39-24c7-47d7-8025-aeb7441d5420_2418x1690.webp) ## 1\. Fauci Twisted Arms and Misrepresented Data in Single-Minded Drive to Mandate Covid Vaccines *Alex Gutentag — Public* - 📔 Diary vs “not me on mandates”: begged Walensky to override ACIP on occupational boosters or be “forever branded… with no leadership” — NY healthcare booster mandate tracked CDC advice. - ✅ Oct 2021: natural-immunity workers “have a point” but “we still must get people vaccinated”; Aug 2021 Israeli waning against infection *and* hospitalisation already known. - 🤐 CDC draft saying vax “do not protect against infection at all” feared for undermining DoJ mandates; Fauci: protection against true infection “low to modest at best.” - 🗣️ Coached Biden’s “pandemic of the unvaccinated” speech day before sweeping federal mandates; diary also credits him with pushing de Blasio/Newsom school and hospitality closures. - 🎯 Takeaway: not “evolving science” — noble lies for uptake. One ego, millions of firings, institutional trust at all-time lows.

The Activists Behind Winston Peters’ Mock Execution *Ani O’Brien — Thought Crimes* - 🪓 Auckland “theatre”: Migrant Workers Association wheeled a Peters effigy to a guillotine — “Give him the chop!” — Kaloti as prosecutor/judge; Carolan insists they’re against the death penalty. - 🪞 Flip the faces (Swarbrick/Hipkins/TPM): days of headlines, police demands, democratic-norms panic. Stuff: one mild piece after a week of outrage over “go back to your country.” - 🕸️ MWA = charity + Socialist Aotearoa/Unite/One Union network; Carolan: “pink flu,” general strikes, “what Parliament does, the streets can undo”; Menéndez March events on MWA FB with Parliamentary Service auth. - 🏠 Oct home crowbar attack already crossed the line; international left guillotine/assassination cosplay (Polanski/Farage, Mangione folk-hero) not harmless props. - 🎯 Takeaway: left violence gets the free pass. Guillotines aren’t neutral — Greens/Labour should denounce their own ecosystem or admit the double standard.

Demography Is Destiny — and New Zealand Is Choosing Decline *Rodney Hide — Brash & Mitchell* - 📉 TFR 1.55–1.60 (was \~2 a decade ago); every major group below replacement: European 1.56, Māori 1.97, Pacific 2.03, Asian 1.32. - 🧮 At 1.56: \~0.78 kids per person → \~0.61 grandchildren; 35–40% of today’s babies will have no grandchildren at all. - 🏦 Fewer workers, heavier super/health load, immigration only a temporary mask — causes known (housing, dual-income necessity, tax/welfare that penalise larger families) while politics obsesses over secondary identity fights. - 🎯 Takeaway: a country that can’t replace itself has no long-term sovereignty. Numbers don’t lie; will is the only question.

As They Stand, No *Oliver Hartwich — Brash & Mitchell / NZ Initiative* - ⚖️ Verdict on RMA replacement Bills: still need work; deadlines loom and may outrun the fix. - ✅ Credit Bishop/Court: fewer council vetoes, more consistent rules, standardised zones, more by-right activity — real progress after decades of failure. - ⚠️ Missing guardrails vs Cabinet’s own promises (housing, property rights, better regulation): ministerial discretion across 16 goals; few protections if priorities shift. - 🛡️ Need Act-level: easier private plan changes when land prices scream restriction; compensate or relax when new rules gut property value — not removable by future minister alone. - 🎯 Takeaway: final verdict waits on amendment papers. Without statutory protections, “as they stand, no.” [Read More](https://www.brashandmitchell.com/post/oliver-hartwich-as-they-stand-no?utm%5Fcampaign=bae52d35-0dbd-4511-a0b6-6265e3cad6fa&utm%5Fsource=so&utm%5Fmedium=mail&utm%5Fcontent=4189c6c3-58c0-4010-a92f-50f2ffeae9bb&configurationId=1e868109-7e9f-4852-82bf-5cd5dcb47468&actionId=923601ea-11e6-975b-c01e-42db2a0af372&cid=39daa79b-294e-4bc5-9457-02b1d5857d3c) --- ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/31/f4/31f4e20a-0315-499e-83ff-139e8eab53bf/content/images/2026/08/278113-1444x710.jpg) ## 5\. Transgenderism and the Attack on the Open Society *Rodney Hide — Brash & Mitchell* - 🚽 Luxon’s campaign line: talking women’s toilets = “another planet” — manager politics that can’t hold the bottom line of female private space for modesty and safety. - 🔄 Liberal gain (leave gay people alone) metastasised into illiberal demand: affirm identity, rewrite biology, open female spaces; dissent = harm/career death/crime. - 🏟️ Changing rooms, sports, prisons, shelters become contested once self-ID trumps sex — open society’s evidence and vulnerable protection subordinated to unchallengeable subjective claim. - 🎯 Takeaway: free adults may dress as they choose; society cannot surrender objective categories or the right to state biological fact. Yielding ground is paid by girls and women.

Why Is Winston Peters Still Minister of Foreign Affairs? *Grant Duncan — Politics Happens* - 🇨🇳 “Go back to your own country” + “they lie like a flatfish” under privilege → Chinese ambassador rebuke, formal protest, SCMP/China Daily/Straits Times. - ⚖️ Clark: can he manage the key strategic partner? “Not really.” In principle sack; in practice coalition veto + sacking now looks like kowtow to Beijing. - 🪞 Compare: Peters sacked Phil Goff as UK High Commissioner in hours for a personal Trump opinion — Americans never had to speak. - 📜 Form: 2003 NZF pamphlet on “Third World immigrants,” crime, TB/HIV; Clark still made him MFA in 2005\. Integrity move = stand down and keep the coalition deal. - 🎯 Takeaway: free portion lands the trap; full “why he’ll carry on” is paywalled.

Removing the Little Sh\*ts *Peter Allan Williams* - 🗣️ Paul Henry: “a lot of little shits in classrooms” — ACT wants teachers freer to remove them; Labour-aligned unions cry unworkable and demand more “support.” - 📊 ERO 2024: half of teachers face disruption every lesson; 47% lose up to 50 minutes/day managing behaviour. - 📚 Chain with attendance action plan: regular attendance (90%+) up from 53% (2023) to 68.8% Term 1 — still soft, better; parent penalties included (one EBoP no-show). - 🔄 MLE/open-plan, child-centred, knowledge-poor curriculum disasters being walked back; phones out of hours; structure/discipline = the century that worked. - 🎯 Takeaway: progressive will call it retrograde. Standards fell this century. Worth a go to keep momentum.

The Real Tragedy Isn’t That Tony Fauci Is an Egomaniac. It’s That He’s a Bad Scientist *Alex Berenson — Unreported Truths* - 💣 Diary shows epic self-love; what’s missing is scientific curiosity — commanding-general power used for restrictive rules + aggressive mRNA without knowing if they worked. - ❓ Hard questions (FCS virulence, lab leak, age risk, R0, countermeasure costs, vax against respiratory viruses, mutation) answered worldwide — Fauci didn’t drive seroprevalence trials, cheap combo drug studies, or head-to-head vax trials. - 📺 Bret Stephens: ego twice his weight; so much TV time because he wasn’t keeping up with the literature. - 📉 “I am science” = incurious arrogance; lockdowns/masks/schools and youth mRNA push lasted because legacy media/Biden wanted the message, not the data. - 🎯 Takeaway: Oppenheimer if the bomb didn’t work. Narcissism admitted; scientific failure still denied.

The Fauci Legend Will Not Die! *Matt Taibbi — Racket News* - 📰 MoJo: diary has “no smoking gun” of deliberate misleading — after Feb 1 2020 call where 9 of 12 scientists said deliberate insertion possible; Zheng-Li Shi GOF on spike/ACE2 in Wuhan. - 🤥 Eight days later on Gingrich: lab idea “conspiracy… without scientific basis”; kept citing *Nature Medicine* paper he “prompted”; House email already had the same confession three years ago. - 📻 NPR “chilling effect on service”; CNN “assault on science”; CBS Gounder: “who among us hasn’t taken a celebrity selfie?” after reading *all* the diaries. - 🎯 Takeaway: ferocity of the coverup is the story. Takes a village to keep a legend alive past its own handwriting.

Evolution of New Zealanders into Entitled Aoteachondriacs *John McLean* - 💊 Patient Voice Aotearoa’s Malcolm Mulholland (not a medical doctor — flag-referendum PhD, Massey lifer, Kiwibank Local Hero) chairs Pharmac’s Consumer Working Group while crying permanent “CRISIS.” - 🧾 Wife’s breast-cancer death blamed on unfunded fancy drugs; he survived prostate cancer via Western medicine — now pawned by legacy media to paint coalition as denying Māori miracle cures. - 📜 Pharmac already lost in fourth-article Treaty mysticism; NZ can’t match rich-country formularies after Labour’s fiscal mess — every edge-case dollar is mental health for the young or debt service. - 🪧 “Buller Declaration” to Parliament steps with Greens/Labour, no coalition ministers; Brown should sack the catastrophiser he appointed to shut him up. - 🎯 Takeaway: stop masochistically feeding appointees who bite the hand and spread irrational fear. You will die. There is no unlimited Pharmac fairy.

Much appreciated from someone who chooses to read/watch almost NO mainstream media. **Murray** Cam, relish your output as the newspaper in Christchurch is so intent on non news. Thankyou **Fred** Thanks for Ten @ Ten, really enjoy reading it.Keep it up. All the best, keep healthy. **Jocko** Wonderful info not otherwise available in NZ. More power to your elbow! Thanks.
