If there was one good outcome of the very one sided Fire & Fury, it’s that they have highlighted that these feral Qanon anti-vax lunatics have been outed for trying to hide their shared mental illness when running for everything from local council to school boards…

School trust boards: Conspiracy-driven candidates worrying principals

Philip Arps, who was jailed for sharing the video of the Christchurch terror attacks, has put his name forward for a trustee position at Te Aratai College in Linwood.

…Arps is openly fascist and a white supremacist whose toxicity towards Muslims is an open ended hate crime…

The Covid-19 conspiracy theorists targeting Northland’s local elections

A group of eight candidates is running for office in Northland espousing conspiracy theories and Covid-19 disinformation.

“Sovereign NZ” is targeting local body elections, pushing debunked claims about United Nations sustainability goals, known as Agenda 30.

The most high profile candidate is founder Joshua Ben Riley, a Texan now living close to Paihia, who is standing to be Far North mayor.

His wife, Alisha Riley, a singer, has her sights on the Kaikohe-Hokianga council ward.

…the Sovereign Citizen movement believe they are all free people immune to the laws of the land because they falsely believe the Government is actually a corporation and they have a loophole to get outside the State jurisdiction. They have ‘Sovereign Sheriffs’ whose task is to hang politicians and leaders who infringe on sovereign citizen freedoms. They are disconnected from this dimension of reality, then there are the insane mummy bloggers…

Anti-vax group wanting to make NZ ‘ungovernable’ targets local body elections

Voices For Freedom is led by Libby Johnson, Alia Bland and Claire Deeks, a former lawyer who stood unsuccessfully for parliament in 2020.

The leaders have outlined plans to set up systems of resilience, with Deeks saying they needed to “start really looking at what it takes to become ungovernable and that way is that when the government says jump we don’t need to”.

“We can really sway the results, throw our weight around,” VFF’s head of National Operations Tane Webster told supporters in a webinar on running for local body elections.

…weaponised mummy bloggers…

VFF, as it’s widely known, includes the seemingly benign Lululemon-clad yummy mummies who were highlighted in Stuff Circuit’s documentary Fire and Fury.

…hilariously Emily Writes is the Spinoff’s and Stuff’s mummy blogger of choice with no academic qualifications in child psychology or parenting but she loves to preach as an expert on all things parenting because if you are middle class and woke with a hint of suburban Wicca in a desperate attempt at being interesting, the mainstream media can’t lap you up enough, but mummy bloggers who are saying things we don’t like about vaccinations, they have to be cancelled.

Shouldn’t we be asking why we are listening to mummy bloggers in the first fucking place?

These feral antivax lunatics are trying to hide themselves and corrode our already weak democracy from the inside.

Anyone you suspect of being part of this deceptive erosion of reason and democratic values should be reported to the following…

…hiding your true intentions to insert yourself into the local structures of power so you can damage that system is not good faith democracy, it’s a dark and dangerous manipulation of our collective apathy.

Outing these fanatics isn’t right wing or left wing thing, this is toxic polarisation by people who have a completely different reality to the rest of us and see engagement as a means to disrupt and amputate our democracy for the most conspiracy driven of beliefs.

Fuck! That! Shit!

As a nation we have sacrificed for Democracy, as a people we collectively suffered under Covid. Our forebears did not spill blood and we did not in solidarity accept Covid sacrifice just so people who are one step above flat-earthers could take over our local systems of Democracy!

They need to be outed and all good people of conscience should vote in any way that ensures they don’t win.

Let me be clear. I don’t care that these lunatics are running, I care that they are being deceptive about their true intentions and intend to wreck our democracy from the inside for their demented conspiracies. Voters need to know who they are and need to know their deceptiveness and Voters can make up their own mind, because purposely misleading the public about your true intentions isn’t democracy, that’s a Coup d’état.

  1. I was discussing with a mate in the Supermarket last night about how we are both in love with VFF’s Claire. So not much “feral” going on there.

    Sorry

  2. they have the democratic right to be fuckin nutters…all that’s neccesary for evil etc etc etc…..so maybe we should stop tut tutting and stand for these minor public offices.

    • 100% Gaga, if its good enough for the Wizard to stand, then why not the anti vaxxers? Democracy is wonderfully messy. Also I think its a bit much for the MSM to do their woke bullshitting singling out of these anti establishment types. Yes there is plenty we need to know but there’s a lot more we are not hearing about.

      Where are the articles about the Councillors who are standing that are pro or anti 3 Waters for example? that would be worth knowing. Or how about the 100K or thereabouts dissenting submissions on 3 waters and how they are effectively in large part just being put in the bin?

      • It’s great how all the triple jabbed are getting sick now, and the unjabbed aren’t.

        I guess that’s karma, feral or otherwise

        • here are some facts for you.

          “When we look at hospitalisations and deaths, the difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated people is much more dramatic. In the week ending March 13, 65% of people over 12 hospitalised were vaccinated, compared to 94% in the population; 32% had a booster dose, compared to 60% in the population. The 5% of unvaccinated people over 12 contributed 20% of hospitalisations.”

          full article: https://theconversation.com/most-covid-patients-in-nzs-omicron-outbreak-are-vaccinated-but-thats-no-reason-to-doubt-vaccine-benefits-179648

          no doubt however, you will dismiss actual facts as propaganda, as you have done your own research…

          • Yes I have done my own research, and this is wrong.
            I can explain why if you like.
            But, my personal experience, for what it is worth, is that the triple jabbed are getting sick, and the unjabbed are not.
            It’s not science and maybe plays into my conformation bias, but that is what I see, and others do too, including the jabbed.

                • Andy’s a bit confused bert. He doesn’t know whether he wants to be a shaman, a sheriff, a school trustee, a councilor, a mayor, or a member of e democratic society.

                  Whatever he wants to be, Andy doesn’t want to tell us, or the voters or humans on instruction from his VFF leaders.

                  In an email sent on August 9, Deeks told potential candidates not to make their support of Voices for Freedom known. “Don’t put “Voices for Freedom” or “VFF” as the affiliation or group represented when filling out the candidate paperwork,” the email read.

                  If you want to hide your true intentions and affiliations from voters, you don’t deserve to run, or be elected!

          • That’s from March FFS! Given the waning efficacy of the vaccines, even with boosters, it should be no surprise that the virus is doing what it was always going to do – prey on its most vulnerable targets, the very old, both unvaccinated (likely because of immune system problems) and the vaccinated.

            Here’s the news from RNZ yesterday:
            Three were in their 60s, three were in their 70s, seven were in their 80s and three were aged over 90.

            There’s nothing there that was not known since Jan/Feb 2020. We locked down, socially distanced, masked up and then vaccinated – all so we could end up in the same place, closing in on 3000 dead (using the original WHO measures) and an accumulated death rate greater than Australia’s.

            Genius. Yet in your eyes I’m sure you still think Baker, Wiles and company are smarter than the epidemiologists from Princeton, Yale, Harvard and Sweden. You can add Denmark to the list now as well, since they just banned – not advised against – but banned the vax for kids.

            • What Council position, or Mayor are you running for Andy, so we can publish it here for your prospective voters?

              We know VFF and your lot, will shut down blogposts like TDB when you lot storm parliament. You and your anarchic rabble have written that you will execute the Democratically elected officials/enemies (nuremberg.nz).

              As long as my arse points downwards, I will fight your sick and twisted form of anarchy and fuckwittery. Like every other sane Kiwi – I know how much this will piss you off

              Māku e kii atu,
              he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.

              Look up the translation yourself! I hear you lot with the support of Tova O’Brien are pushing for Jacinda Ardern to travel to Ukraine too?

              What’s that about? Just asking?

              • And these anarchists are going to storm parliament on Tuesday. Any reason it couldn’t be done Sunday?
                Oh yeah, Tamakis day of income.
                Is he a man of principle or money, Vote now.

              • So, it’s not clear Archonblatter … probably confused by Trump and the other right-wing climate-denying, racist, anti-abortionist misogynists?
                Do we inject hydroxychloroquine into the anus?
                Or bleach?
                Or a strong light?
                Or all three for a multi-lateral cure?

                Have you been subpoenaed yet and will you take the 5th on this one?

            • As you must know John Minto’s has a post on how Blert’s beloved Labour government has more kids living in cars than the nasty old National government did in 2017.

              Given Blert’s love of mindlessly defending the indefensible I’d have expected him to be there. TBF this is slightly less shameful government-MSM behaviour.

                • Tom is changing the subject bert. There are too many ferals like him trying to change the narrative. Typical right-wing tactic. Won’t address the issues, just quote Facebook fuckwittery. And try like hell not to give away their true intentions – “make New Zealand ungovernable”. Fucking deluded anarchists.

                  • The personal attacks are an admission that Tom trying to defend his right wing narrative, of which is the acceptance of corruption.

        • or a change in the virus andy do try to keep up how many vaxxxed are not clogging up the health service while the unvaxxed are like the turd that won’t fLush in AandE

    • Back in your Russian doll, inside another doll, inside another doll Babushka Gagarinski.
      And how is Putin nd his feral army working out for you Gagarinski?
      If you like ferals, then I’m sure Putin can help you.
      He has nice little feral police action to get rid of Ukranian rebels.
      Why don’t you go back to Mother Russia and enlist.
      (PS you’ll get a chance to be hiding behind the largest nuclear reactor in the world, lobbing missiles at apartment blocks)

      • ohhhhh berts no1 bumboy, I’m cut to the quick, you’re so incisive…and original it’s truly breathtaking

        now anything to say on the actual subject in hand?

        • You sound like an expert on bums Gagarin? What’s that about?

          I realise that coming from Russia, you may have had quite a bit of ‘bum action’ in the Gulags. I’ve read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and know what you would have endured. You know you can get a U Visa into the USA for institutional abuse. You can get your Green Card
          You can get therapy, no need to project your own reamed out rear-end issues onto others.

    • Agree gagarin nutters or not they are allowed to stand bar them and democracy in NZ is further threatened.

      • Of course you would Bob the First. You’re a right-wing shill and your political paymasters at National or ACT HQ won’t pay you unless you claimed to them on your e-claim form, that you had the last right-wing word on this issue.
        NOTE – to you and your right-wing paymasters and right-wing Steve-Bannon anarchists. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist, to link the dots between National-ACT and Voices-of-Freedom and all the other right-wing-anarchy and fuckwit nutters, whipped up into a frothing frenzy of hate by right-wing Steve Bannon and right-wing parties in NZ.

        If you wanna be called Bob the First, not, not Bob the Escariot, stop selling out democracy and decency for 30 pieces of silver from a soul-less cabal of right-wing arsehole anarchists like National and ACT, whose aim is to make New Zealand/Aotearoa “ungovernable”.

        • Yes Bob and most of the trolls on the TDB take their orders from the NATZ dirty Politics team. They test it out and if its a goer they send it to Ryan Bridge, Garner, Hosking etc to run on their tory talk radio.

  4. This has come to light to late to get people of their backsides and stand in council elections but I hope those that vote do due diligence on the background of those they vote for .

    • I think anyone who is awake is (still the large minority are asking questions). I have completed changed my stance on who I vote for in local govt. I dig into what they stand for and how woke they are and cast my vote accordingly. The pale stale males are going to love me. I used to vote for women, poverty focussed types and minorities because they all needed a leg up but that worm has turned.

      • There are good worms and not so good ones – interesting the ones that aren’t good are flat-earth worms! (NZ flatworms up to 17cm to be exact.)

        I used to view worms lightly but now seriously, regarding them as good sorts for the garden and now looking after their needs. If only the NZ government and local bodies could take the same attitude to we citizens, regard us as good sorts and full of potential, and encourage NZers to be like good worms, we’d all have a wriggling good time and better gardens as well.

        As for strange and fanciful or OTT ideas in local government, I suggest look for ones who stick to the knitting, aiming for a balance between seeing to the drains, maintaining good structures, having cultural needs budgets and a good but plain library, and encouraging people to limit wastes with reducing counts each year, and ensure that everyone can obtain transport of some kind, not just bikes, skateboards or legs. So much middle class ideas being espoused, a once size fits all, provided it is their all.

  5. Is it not a tad relative on whom the lunatics are? On the West Coast greenies are commonly looked upon with a certain disdain and certain pubs didn’t serve people who had the covid jabs. Pubs that seemed to do rather well business wise I might get add. Common sense is not a universal currency.

  7. You attack people associated with Voices for Freedom and imply they have no right to participate. Last time I checked, democracy means being able to participate and run for office. If you disagree with them, then denounce their views, fine — but try to get their views straight, first, maybe? Like supporting freedom of speech. Or maybe you’ve decided you are now opposed to that as well — is it too much of a threat to your version of what passes for democracy? And, btw, Voices for Freedom has nothing to do with Arps, and it is misleading and deceptive of you to try to suggest here that it does.

    • Freedom mjh??? Your lot want anarchy!

      You want to make NZ ungovernable, or is this fake news:

      The leaders have outlined plans to set up systems of resilience, with Deeks saying they needed to “start really looking at what it takes to become ungovernable and that way is that when the government says jump we don’t need to”.

      “We can really sway the results, throw our weight around,”

      https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/stuff-circuit/300660552/antivax-group-wanting-to-make-nz-ungovernable-targets-local-body-elections

      We’ve seen what your brothers in arms in the USA did in the Capitol.
      We don’t want that anarchy here, thanks all the same.

      Go take over Gloriavale or Stewart Island and set yourself up as a “sheriff state” commune, have passports to get in, have border guards with guns. Invite Trump, The Shaman and Steve Bannon and Nigel Farage over to open your white supremacist Anarchyvale compound.

      Here’s a song you can use as your National Freedom Anthem
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnzHtm1jhL4

      Just cluck off with your nutty as a chook anarchy and leave democracy to the grown-ups.

      We want Freedom in New Zealand too … freedom from of right-wing nutters.

      • Freedom for some only is actually freedom for none.
        But by the way, I’m not a right winger or an anarchist. But I do defend their right to state their views. AND to protest when they feel protest is necessary.

        • Hiding your true intentions MJH, just like your colleagues vying for election anarchy.

          “In an email sent on August 9, Deeks told potential candidates not to make their support of Voices for Freedom known. “Don’t put “Voices for Freedom” or “VFF” as the affiliation or group represented when filling out the candidate paperwork,” the email read.

          If you want to hide your true intentions and affiliations from voters, you don’t deserve to run, or be elected!

          Good try though mjh!

        • And your form of anarchy is antisocial, feral and unhinged and that’s why you are hiding your true intentions when wanted to be voted for for school boards, councils and mayors. And you are sneaky, dishonest, nutty-fuckers:

          In an email sent on August 9, Deeks told potential candidates not to make their support of Voices for Freedom known. “Don’t put “Voices for Freedom” or “VFF” as the affiliation or group represented when filling out the candidate paperwork,” the email read.

          If you want to hide your true intentions and affiliations from voters, you don’t deserve to run, or be elected!

          Must be fucking crowded down that rabbithole you all are in.

    • Mjh – well put. I’m so sick of this kind of smug ‘journalism’. Martin, why not do sone actual research before ridiculing VFF?

      • You’re asking for the moon HW. Media hacks remaining in NZ don’t know how to compare and contrast anything. All they understand is attack dog methods.
        Effing little feral vermin. I saw them attack Pam Corkery after the election meeting in Auckland of the Mana/Internet Party. Mr. Dotcom had spoken (his command of English a good deal more fluent than that of sleezy J.Key) of his conviction for hacking in Germany and how the judge had advised him to apply for a business grant to put his talents to more practical use. Which he did.
        All the rat pack could do was screech about the ‘criminal’ And what Pam Corkery called them. ‘Puffed up little farts’ or something similar. She was right.
        There seems to be no insight into the world wide ongoing populist uprisings against neo- liberal doctrines which have ravaged the world. Often inchoate they take many forms.
        Pity the slimey effing zombies who comment are such repulsive, Christ awful dumbshits they are unable to read Jane Kelsey’s ‘The FIRE Economy.’ Or watch this; Russel Brand with Vandana Shiva:

        https://youtu.be/pJzbdcHQ4-A

        • Get thee some spectacles Complexibum and ‘with much help of those spectacles’ begin to read Thus wise you will be ‘cleansed of all the alteration and and perverse habitude of the brain.’ In truth ‘it is as a forest full of dorflies, hornets and wasps.’ ‘You have abundance if tripes’ and I fear have ‘eaten at dinner too many godebillios. Godebillios are the fat tripes of coiros.’ Beware lest your ‘bumgut may fall out and make an escapade.’
          You will learn to ignore ‘the Bumsqibcracker of Apothecaries.’

    • Pointing out people are nut jobs is not being anti free speech. Martyn has pointed out that you need to be transparent so voters know what they are voting for.

  8. Some of these turkeys aka Voices of Freedom want to get in to sabotage the very workings of councils, you know, silly things that councils do like providing fresh drinking water , sewer, roads, libraries, street lighting. What is it from Voices of Freedom? “make New Zealand ungovernable”. That ain’t freedom of speech, that is extreme criminal behaviour.

    Our mental health system has an awful lot to answer for!

  9. ” They need to be outed and all good people of conscience should vote in any way that ensures they don’t win ”
    Like all the establishment parties upholding evil neo liberal policies against their own people.

  10. Lol reap what we sow… it’s what you get when decide to create two classes of people… Media harassing people based on vaccine status, Driving hysteria at so called rule breakers, kicking people out of society and into the arms of the real nut cases… Dunno why anyone is suprised and it’s a good thing they’re at least participating in democracy, the run will be how they react when they dont win seats.

  11. The ferals are doing ok. Keep on calling them out and they’ll continue to organise and come out. Dumb plan snowflakes!

  13. Most people who get involved in politics do so for some issue or other that motivates them sufficiently to get involved so the VFF aren’t any different from any other candidates in this respect.
    Though I was then too young to know what was going on my old man got himself onto the then Thanes District Council in order to have a bridge built and a stream diverted to enter the Waihau River instead of flooding all the farms down the Matatoki road every time it rained significantly. The job cost a few pounds less than his 200 pound budget so you can guess how long ago that was.
    Soon after he got onto the Matatoki School committee in order to arrange for a disused school room at Orongo to be shifted to Add to the one room primary at Matatoki and so it happened.
    D J S

  14. These ferals are just a pack of liars….and if they’re prepared to lie to us about covid/vaccination what else are they prepared to lie to us about

  15. “hiding your true intentions to insert yourself into the local structures of power so you can damage that system is not good faith democracy, it’s a dark and dangerous manipulation of our collective apathy.”

    That goes doubly for every filthy neoliberal in parliament pretending to be a representative of the New Zealand people, rather than servants of Iblis. I thoroughly disagree with these cranks in regards the safety of vaccines in general, but they’re no worse than most politicians.

  16. Shhh, how dare people that some consider ‘feral’ organize for political representation.

  17. Bunch of wankers VFF. But they are entitled to stand if they meet the various criteria any other candidate has to.

    If they are not going to be upfront about what they stand for however, then they should be outed so voters have more chance of casting their vote as they intended, rather than find out down the track they have voted for obstruction and chaos!

    Not being upfront with voters most famous recent example was Rogernomics in 1984, and it is rather obvious how that turned out for the NZ working class.

    In some areas VFF candidates will probably get on school BOTs as a number of the parents in the North actually support the fruit loop approach to public health.

    The base issue is wider participation is needed in politics by ordinary people rather than graspers, one issue fanatics and party hacks. 40% is considered a very good turnout in NZ Local Govt. elections.

  18. all I’d say is if you vote for these candidates you get to live with the consequences…if your area wants no-vaxx homeopathic AandE then go for it but don’t come to central govt or the tax payer when your infant mortality rate skyrockets or cancer patients are dropping like flies because crystal healing doesn’t work….wallow in your own desired local cess pit.

    • Not sure about infant mortality, but cancer patients already having hard times getting diagnoses and treatment in time and this happens under a majority Labour government with the kindest and most concerned leader this country has seen since Aunty Helen. But then maybe you project?

    • The sheriffs are coming!
      The sheriffs are coming!
      What have National offered Tamaki and the density crowd?

      What has an ultra-right leader of the National Party with a God-appointed place in the High Church offered Tamaki, ultra-right leader of a cult of personality, that tithes its flock?

      Whatever the cost of this right-wing axis of evil, it’s going to be a difficult task putting the cork back in that genie bottle!

      The sheriffs are coming!

  20. bratty both you and I know like the red welfare queen low tax states in the southern usa they’ll come cap in hand to the evil government when things go arse up.

  21. Would you think the same thing if it was hardcore communists hiding their true intentions whilst trying to get elected?

  22. Who doesn’t conceal hard core intentions when trying to get elected?
    The Labour Party elected in’84 was full of extremist right wing moles.

    • Despise’m to deadness.

      Particularly the mousetachioed one who later tried to get his son into Labour. Yet these pricks remain our ruling class despite reality.

    • ACT-olytes in 1984, hid their real intentions too, just like the VFF want to do this time around.
      The right-wing dirty politics cabal are good at hiding their intentions too.
      How close are the right-wing behind Brian Tamaki Inc?
