Jacinda’s leadership saves us again from Delta – how will Death Cult Capitalists respond?
20 cases yesterday!
This is what real political leadership looks like – Jacinda’s courage to stare down the death cult capitalists who screamed against lockdown has saved us again – if we hold our nerve, keep doing as we are asked we can get out from under this latest outbreak.
0nce again, Jacinda’s leadership and ability to communicate with compassion and clarity has ensured mass panic has not descended. The danger was always being hit by Delta before we had capacity for the dead and sick or high vaccination rates. If Jacinda can’t stamp out this outbreak and every outbreak until we have a vaccination rate of at least 75%, Labour risk being judged on the failure rather than previous success. To date they have handled this current outbreak with an authority and professionalism that has saved lives and can only be faulted by the malicious.
NZ has put the people before money and that shock wave has resonated around the world with pundits attacking Jacinda for not having the ‘courage’ to allow Delta to kill her people. Remember that.
This is all bad news for the Death Cult Capitalists.
Trying to force the wage slaves back into the fields while a tornado is still active is proving a tad more difficult than they had hoped for. That the Government is willing to put public health before profit is very angering to them.
These poor buggers won’t earn any reward points on their gold cards this year, won’t someone think of the wealthy?
The Death Cult Capitalists attempted to discredit Jacinda’s leadership but her crushing of this latest Delta outbreak has earned her trust and undermined the criticisms of the business community.
With vaccination levels so low, we have no choice but to revert to lockdowns and no matter how shrill the right get, the majority will back Jacinda.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.

Death cult capitalism continues under lockdown…just at a slightly reduced level.
Electrticity, industrially produced and distributed food etc. continue to eat away at the chemical balance and CO2 emissions ‘never sleep’. So we are all fucked anyway long term.
But Javinda will score some political points for addressing the short-term threat whilst ignoring the longer term threats.
“If Jacinda can’t stamp out this outbreak and every outbreak until we have a vaccination rate of at least 75%, Labour risk being judged on the failure rather than previous success”.
Too true Martyn. Those swing voters will simply evaporate.
…a vaccination rate of at least 75%… it’s almost there isn’t it, well, if you count the first jab. But surely that will happen sooner rather than later. What happens after that? Public health. Politically. Socially. Economically.
The Skegg Report seems to provide some of the answers, but only in part. Consensus is that the virus (and what variant is that?) will eventually get beyond the borders once travel bubbles are opened again. The report’s concludes the current elimination strategy will still be viable when international travel resumes, not “Zero Covid”, but stamping out clusters of COVID-19 as they occur.
More lockdowns even with 75% vaccination? That will get a few backs up. Labour walks a tightwire.
I suspect lockdowns will continue indefinitely until an effective sterilising and long-lasting vaccine is developed (hopefully that is possible). In the meantime the virus will continue to mutate among the fully vaccinated, and eventually completely defeat it (indeed both the Lambda and Mu variants purportedly almost completely evade the current vaccines already).
Dear Denny Paoa
This is misinformation on a grand scale.
‘Ardern is the Grim Reaper. The death merchant.”
Merchants buy and sell. Does Jacinda sell guns now? Did she personally infect people with Covid 19?
”50+ people murdered and injured by terrorist on her watch and 22 people succumb to covid as well.
Her body count must be the highest for any NZ PM ever.”
So George Grey as New Zealand premier invades the Waikato and starts a war in which several thousand people die.
Dick Seddon sends New Zealanders to the South African war and during the whole of the 19th century epidemics of measles, whooping cough, influenza, scarlet fever kill uncouted numbers of Maori, Pakeha and Pacific Islanders.
Bill Massy presides over the 1914-1918 war and the Spanish influenza epidemic in which an estimated twenty percent of Western Samoa’s population die and the death toll in New Zealand reaches thousands.
Mickey Savage and Peter Fraser second world war. Polio epidemic
”Her and Faafoi need to take one for the team of 5,00000 and their safety and resign!”
Presumably you can tell us who the alternatives are and provide evidence of how they would do a better job?

And the testing rates have also plummeted? Coincidence?
It doesn’t pay to deify cynical politicians -it’s official today :
https://www.newsroom.co.nz/pro/pre-flight-tests-scrapped-before-delta-outbreak
Jacindas Government let Delta in by scrapping pre departure testing from NSW before our outbreak.
What an absolutely idiotic decision.
We should let Collins and Seymour be the Government. Apparently black lives don’t matter…

Lots of Death Cult Capitalists commenting today Martyn.
Level 2 update
In the 4pm briefing yesterday Jacinda Arden and Ashley Bloomfield bleated on and on for an hour about the need for everyone indoors at public spaces to be masked. Ardern and Bloomfield were not masked.
Isn’t it funny how…
Reaching an arbitrary magical 70% vaccination rate means we are all safe from the threat of death. Is this number just the volume of product they need to shift so both the government and supplier balance their books?
How the medical profession is actually starting to publicly denigrate the unvaccinated, forgoing any oath to treat all people out of humane duty and to do no harm. The veil has lifted and the gloves are off; they actually really despised every single person who didn’t take the seasonal flu shot in the past.
How the medical profession (now the government) treat everything which is counter to their narrative as fake and conspiracy and do everything in their power to censor every platform, but when it comes to debating the facts they get all defensive and shouty. Like a shouty know all.
How the incubation period for Covid is supposedly 3-14 days but New Zealand has been locked down for a month and Auckland looks to be incarcerated for weeks more. Totalitarianism requires a sick government, a herded population and an army of puss filled enablers.
How ‘Maori’ hesitancy is portrayed as the marginalised indigenous letting the team down again, lazy and inept rather than erudite and careful (or just in a holding pattern like the rest of the population), who because of the ‘protection’ of the vaccine will supposedly only be harming themselves, and who commit the unforgivable sin of not prostrating themselves absolutely to the big pharma program. But how non-Maori hesitancy results in actual harm: when the ruling class uses all of the levers of government and state intelligence to sneak around in the shadows and spy on people without their knowledge, uses the public and our spaces as an incubator for violent extremism, fully commits to diversity over safety, and HESITATES when it comes to deporting dangerous migrants or subduing a knife wielding maniac. Now that is some bloody hesitancy.
