Everywhere about us are the signs of a people nursing a debilitating unhealed wound.
Despite life largely appearing to have returned to some semblance of normalcy, the damage has been done.
Kiwis have been twice struck through the heart: firstly, when our politicians joined together to act so far outside the boundaries of our lawful heritage that we just couldn’t really it take in; and secondly, when many of us just went along with them despite knowing deep down that what they were doing to us was wrong.
Stunned out of our wits by the tsunami of self-fulfilling propaganda launched by a media drunk on government patronage, we threw away common sense, ignored everything we ever knew to be reasonable and abandoned one another in fear.
As our objectivity and common decency collapsed, countless individuals, marriages, families, friendships, careers and businesses were broken apart by mandates.
In the aftermath of these last few years, we must seriously look at ourselves, stop pretending this won’t be done to us again and admit that the wool was pulled over our eyes.
For our wound to heal, the causes, enablers and the mRNA technology of this unnecessary disaster must be exposed.
