The Near Future

This is where we are headed; freedom of movement will disappear this year or next. We had lockdowns educate everyone on you do not have the right of freedom of movement. Then, with the jab mandates you do not have the right to bodily autonomy. So, now the government and their criminal cohort are going to lock you up, permanently.

Geoff Buys Cars outlines how this is coming into effect in England. This is real, not a vague proposal, it is happening. In New Zealand, the right to freedom of movement will be gone soon. I'd add, that's why the failing infrastructure, and ignoring flood damage. No need you see, as roads will not be used, but if you do use them you'll be charged inordinate sums to do so.

Government know the minerals aren't there to make EV batteries affordably. EV's are a trojan horse. They don't want you having a personal means of transport at all. Nothing at all.

And where do these ideas come from? The WEF of course. The WEF must be made illegal and all its adherents drummed out of the workforce and into oblivion.

Ford v Ferrari - update

I've just found myself having to explain the movie Ford v Ferrari to someone who recently saw it on a long haul flight. The movie clearly fails in many respects as the person I spoke to had missed several key elements.

They had no idea that New Zealanders played a major part in the events depicted. New Zealand drivers won the race, and a New Zealander was one of the two drivers that came second. The person viewing the movie for the first time completely missed this and did not notice that the Bruce McLaren car was painted black and had a silver fern on the side with the letters NZ clearly displayed. 

I blogged about the movie when it came out, you can see my comments at that time here: https://kenhorlor.blogspot.com/2019/11/ford-v-ferrari-2019-movie.html

Adding to what I said in 2019, some points can be made:

1. Bruce Miles was not asked to lose the race. He was running second, but on the track he was in front of the first placed car. If the GT40's crossed the finish line as they were on the track, the photo of the cars crossing the line would be 2-1-3. They're all Fords but out of sequence. Not enough time was left for Miles to race ahead and challenge McLaren for first, so if he did that the photo would be Ford 1-3. This presents a problem, so Miles was asked to let the McLaren Ford come through to make the photo 1-2-3. 

Here's that famous photo:

Ford GT40 1966 1-2-3 Finish

2. The winning GT40 was completely rebuilt by McLaren. He asked that a GT40 be delivered to him and then he stripped it and put it back together in its winning format. This is never mentioned in the movie, we are led to believe that Carroll Shelby supplied the winning car to Bruce McLaren. Not so, Ford made the car, Shelby helped design it, but the race configuration was all McLaren - as you'd expect.

I feel my early criticism is justified as the movie has failed to age well. Yes, I get that it's about the conflict of personalities between Miles and Shelby, then Henry Ford II and Enzo Ferrari. But leaving out more about the great Bruce McLaren misses the mark as his setup and driving won the race and made Henry Ford II's vengeance real. 

Pentagon Leak

My thinking is the latest leak of Pentagon intelligence must be from disillusioned insiders, upset at the direction the US has taken:

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/04/10/pentagon-shocked-leak-classified-plans-00091278

The U.S. government is scrambling to determine the source of the most significant breach of U.S. intelligence in a decade after the tranche of more than 100 documents surfaced on social media. The documents contain information so sensitive that only people with the highest levels of security clearance in the U.S. government can access them.

Did the Dallas Mavericks Tank?

This will develop as time goes by. In the NBA the Dallas Mavericks appear to have intentionally lost a game with only two games left in their regular season schedule and with a chance remaining to make the playoffs.

What do you think, did they tank?

In their penultimate game, they lost to the Chicago Bulls. They sat down five important players, including Kyrie Irving. These five were not even on the scoresheet. Then during the game they only gave 13 minutes to another star, Luka Doncic, and did not play Jaden Hardy in the second half, even though he was hot in the first. What's going on? The NBA is investigating:

[Update @ 14/04/2023 - the NBA have fined the Mavericks $750k, for undermining the integrity of the sport. Personally, I think this is a slap on the wrist. They should be required to trade away their key star Luka Doncic IMO]

Today FM is Toast

The media failures are starting in New Zealand and about time. These mainstream grifters have been lording it over everyone, about time that lot found a real job.

Today FM is the first to announce its closure and there will be more to follow. 

The message to all people is this; if the media were promoting the jab, if they supported this criminal government, don't listen to them, and tell their advertisers what you think and that you won't be buying their products.

I raise this because for some years now, women like me have been hammering on about the trans cult and the death of our rights because of it. Some days we felt like we were making good progress but, most days, it’s been a long hard slog. In my case (and many others), it’s come at a cost both personally and professionally. 

Yesterday’s debacle in Albert Park is somewhat unsurprising to many of us who have been on the frontlines of this battle. Still, despite our yawning familiarity with the ways of men in dresses screaming at us, we still feel like we’ve been stabbed deep in the heart. And it’s truly brought it home to us how little we women matter.

Important: New Study from Norway

Dr John Campbell looks at a new study out of Norway which examines the possible link between the rollout of the jab in 2021 and a rise in deaths in 2022.

Abstract of the study: 

We primarily study a possible link between 2021 COVID-19 vaccination uptake in Europe and monthly 2022 excess all-cause mortality, i.e., mortality higher than before the pandemic. Analyses of 31 countries weighted by population size show that all-cause mortality during the first nine months of 2022 increased more the higher the 2021 vaccination uptake; a one percentage point increase in 2021 vaccination uptake was associated with a monthly mortality increase in 2022 by 0.105 percent (95% CI, 0.075-0.134). When controlling for alternative explanations, the association remained robust, and we discuss the result emphasizing causality as well as potential ecological fallacy. Also, the study shows that 2021 all-cause mortality was lower the higher the vaccination uptake, but this association became non-significant when controlling for alternative explanations.

Tucker Carlson: Big Government Will Always Save Wall Street

Tucker Carlson describes how easy money ends up being the opposite. The fall will be very hard.

 

GFC 2.0

Three banks have gone bust in the last few days; the collapses started with Silvergate, followed by Silicon Valley Bank which became the USA's second largest bank failure in history, and now on Sunday, New York based Signature bank has had regulators take control. 

Clearly this is serious and yet more banks will fail. I predicted this would happen. Back with GFC 1.0 there was little financial rigour put in place, goalposts were moved and institutions were rescued. The term 'too big to fail' became a thing. I complained loudly, saying where were my bargains? Governments propped up failure. That never leads anywhere and only causes more harm. And here we are.

Word is that SVB spent more time on trendy causes than actually paying attention to risk management. I can believe it. The other rumour is that Prince Harry and his wife have a lot of money deposited with SVB. We'll see, but don't be surprised if you see the pair suddenly head back to England and for King Charles to bail his son out. If this does happen, watch the reaction from the British subjects, the Coronation could end up being booed. 

As the saying goes, we live in interesting times.

The Military Situation in the Ukraine

Here's a very intelligent essay examining how we got to where we are now in the Ukraine.

https://labourheartlands.com/jacques-baud-the-military-situation-in-the-ukraine-update/ 

Let’s try to examine the roots of the conflict. It starts with those who for the last eight years have been talking about “separatists” or “independentists” from Donbass. This is not true. The referendums conducted by the two self-proclaimed Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk in May 2014, were not referendums of “independence” (независимость), as some unscrupulous journalists have claimed, but referendums of “self-determination” or “autonomy” (самостоятельность). The qualifier “pro-Russian” suggests that Russia was a party to the conflict, which was not the case, and the term “Russian speakers” would have been more honest. Moreover, these referendums were conducted against the advice of Vladimir Putin.

<snip>

Many Western commentators were surprised that the Russians continued to seek a negotiated solution while conducting military operations. The explanation lies in the Russian strategic outlook since the Soviet era. For the West, war begins when politics ends. However, the Russian approach follows a Clausewitzian inspiration: war is the continuity of politics and one can move fluidly from one to the other, even during combat. This allows one to create pressure on the adversary and push him to negotiate.
