In These New Times

Jacinda Ardern was the model WEF sponsored politician, a perennial supporter of all things woke and green and an imperious lockdowner. What could have gone wrong?

Back in 2019 the Evil One, Stoltenberg, straying somewhat from his North Atlantic realm, visited Ardern in New Zealand full of praise for her co-operation with the Atlanticist terror-grouping. But there were underlying tensions: New Zealand insisted on an amicable relationship with China and remained insistent in its anti-nuclear stance. Nothing that a bit of lockdown couldn’t set to right! But no. Unlike Australia, which gleefully sacrificed itself for the the higher purposes of war with China and the chimera of an Anglo-led New World Order and agreed to become a nuclear power after being subjected to a punitive lockdown regime, New Zealand continued to be unreceptive to the message. There must some quality in New Zealand culture which renders them capable of independent policy-making even under the worst imaginable leadership.

In April, 2021, one of Britain’s leading warmongers, Con Coughlin, launched an escoriating attack on the New Zealand, strongly suggesting its expulsion from the Five Eyes network (but that would make it the Four Eyes network, an infelicitous name for a spy agency). Outraged by their refusal to break completely with China he concluded:

“We live in an age when, as US President Joe Biden has warned, countries that value democracy need to work together to counter the threat posed by authoritarian regimes like China. By choosing Beijing at the expense of her Five Eyes allies, Ms Ardern risks eroding New Zealand’s credibility on the global political map.”

She had been warned:”Work together or else!”. Or else what? What about removing her from office! If so, there is no evidence, at first sight, that is has worked so far:

“Our foreign policy position hasn’t changed just because there’s a change of prime minister.The government foreign policy is the same as it was under Prime Minister Ardern.” New PM, Hipkins, has said. Apparently that means sticking to a friendly policy with China as well as the rejection of nuclear.

However, Hipkins is, according to ABC News, “axing or delaying many of his government’s more contentious policy plans”. These include a hate speech bill that “would have impinged on free speech” and “a mandate for fuel suppliers to increase their use of biofuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions” which “would have raised the cost of gas”. Since when did exponents of woke politics concern themselves with free speech or the green Gretins abandon their policies just because they were going to destroy the economy! What is going on?

The failure of NATO’s war against Russia has forced reprioritisation. Senator Marco Rubio, ultra war hawk, succinctly expressed one of these new priorities:

“Rather than making the case for American greatness and protecting our nation, the military is parroting woke nonsense. It’s dumb, it doesn’t work, and it’s dangerous. We need to spend more time thinking about how to counter Chinese aircraft carriers and less time thinking about pronouns.”

Actually, they have to spend more time thinking about how Chinese/Russian hypersonic missiles are going to blow US aircraft carriers out of the water but the point is certainly a valid one from the point of view of the effectiveness of US armed forces. Many other voices have joined this chorus.

Similarly for the Green Agenda. Just a few months into NATO’s latest military fiasco, no less a figure than former Secretary of State and former head of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, had this to say:

“It is my conviction that America and the West must acknowledge the centrality of hydrocarbon energy to world geopolitics…….Today’s obscene fuel prices should stimulate increased output. But for the fact that our government’s regrowth policy stands in the way. We’ve become enraptured by unreal narratives. Thank you, Greta!”

The Great Reset wasn’t so great after all! The reset of the reset has begun. Where is it leading us? Well, nowhere, of course- silly! The US is no more capable of taking on China and Russia together than it is of taking on Russia on its own, and less capable by the day as the whole of Western society and economy collapses. Military and economic power has already shifted inexorably to the East and catching up is beyond the reach of even the most fevered and malign spirits in the Anglosphere.

As for Pompeo, just as for his co-religionaries

“He’s a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his Nowhere plans for nobody.”

A bit like you and me, in fact!
