New Zealand, amazingly, has gotten even more totalitarian about COVID
American Thinker ^ | 21 Feb, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

From practically the first day that COVID appeared, New Zealand’s government was on the front line of totalitarianism in terms of trying to keep the virus off its shores. The country’s lockdown was total. With every fanatic rule, it was hard to imagine the government topping itself. And yet that’s exactly what the government is doing. The newest initiative is to fine people for refusing COVID tests—and, if they ignore the fine, destroying them financially and imprisoning them in fortress New Zealand.

Beginning in March 2020, New Zealand closed its borders to the world and put the country (and its economy) in almost complete lockdown, with only occasional intermittent breaks from these national prison conditions. And of course, the government-mandated vaccine passports, which are effectively vaccine mandates for those who wish to function in the country.

The latest initiative is, apparently, enforced COVID testing. Libs of TikTok tweeted out a Notice someone received for “COVID-19 Testing Non Compliance.” The fine is NZD $330, which is US $220. If the person fails to pay the fine, another NZD $102 (US $68) gets added to the fine.

But wait! There’s more!

That additional $102 fee seems to be intended to cover the costs of the more serious consequences for non-payment of the fine (and, presumably, the continued refusal to have that swab stuck up your nose):

Eyepatch McCain had his profile removed from the Young Leaders profiles, but he still hasn’t gotten himself airbrushed out of this photo (wearing sunglasses). See left side, about halfway back, he’s one-in from a woman (I think) wearing a white dress.

But the climate change conspiracy theory is put about by climate deniers, you know, those who want actual proof a thing is true.

Polis is. And Hickenlooper’s free corporate jet ride scandal while governor was for his trips to Davos WEF. And there is a photo of Crenshaw on the Davos site.

The true conspiracy theory is that power mad oligarchs and multi billionaires are content to watch the world unfold and wonder what course things will take.... and they just hope it works out well for them. But they would never dare collude with like minded people to steer things their way.

THAT is the real conspiracy theory.

Pretty clear that New Zealand, Austria, Germany and Australia are test beds for how far and how fast tyranny can be implemented in western democracies.

And, of course, Canada rather suddenly. Parliament was cancelled for nothing. Watch Washington DC very closely. No one in the current administration has uttered so much as a peep in protest so far and that is very revealing.
