15 months In...Aint Nothin' Good Goin' On -Another Open Letter to PM Luxon

 By KC SHOEN

Kia Ora C-Lux, 

It may sound like an April Fools joke, but it's 15 months in and it doesn't seem like one  meaningful  day of logical, functional, and  beneficial public  policy in your  ionospheric-level  fact-averse , incoherent,  putrid, soft and fraudulent coalition  has been achieved.

However, here are your 'achievements' thus far:

-  Your National Party-led Coalition  oversaw the largest drop  in GDP  in 2024 since 1991 (a time when National was also  in power...imagine that).  And whilst it was recent reported that GDP actually rose 0.7 in December 2024. the annual growth is now  at -0.5, down from 0.1  the previous September

- The unemployment rate since  the National-led coalition  came into power was  3.9% in December 2023 and  ballooned to 5.1% as of  February 2025.  The Wellington region (population 550, 600 as of  June 2024) in that relative period experienced 153, 000 job losses , comparatively to  Auckland ( with a  population of  1.76 million as of 2021)  lost 100,000  in the year-over-year period  (April 2023 to April 2024).  

- To date, the National  Party led coalition has produced  zero net job growth  since taking office in 2023, meaning not one net positive new job has been created in the first 15 months since its ascendance. The welfare rolls have swelled to record levels  , with the  Ministry of Social Development reporting  a record number of job-seeker and emergency assistance applications received over the last year  being at  the highest since 1991, and continued to escalate through February 2025 , year-over-year

- Your coalition partner ,  ACT leader David Seymour's instituted school lunch program has  snuffed 75 kiwi suppliers , replacing it with Compass Group- an irreputable multi-national conglomerate who has a well documented  piss poor reputation  in food preparation and management. Additionally,  One of the major sub-contractors under Compass Group is currently in liquidation. This coupled with melted plastic found in the prepared  lunches, and a child receiving 2nd degree burns as his lunch exploded on him from excessive high-heat pressure demonstrates the continued issues of competency in execution and delivery with the Seymour-led school lunch  programme that has been a constant since January 2025. 

- Under this coalition government, and as of Feb 2025, 60% of the wealth ion New Zealand is now controlled by 10% of the population, a group that pays no capital gains tax, consisting  of median to wealthy property owners/landlord receiving  further tax concessions, creating downward tax pressure on poor and working class families as a result

 - New Zealand's two largest cities are experiencing record high homelessness never before experienced. (averaging a 45% increase collectively over the last year)  despite the OECD report substantiated Aotearoa's lack of infrastructure to cope with endemic houselessness in May of last year. (which Minister of Housing  Chris Bishop promised to address, just prior to the government asset sell-off of 200 Kainga Ora houses , and demolishing 700 more),  To date,  your coalition government is leaving a net 0 amount of  created, planned or newly completed builds  coming on to address this expanding crisis.   Further, stricter regulations have been implemented by both Mr. Bishop and his lackey Toma Potaka  to directly frustrate the application process,  further declining those who are in actual  need.

So Prime Minister, by the numbers, your weak, feckless, and uncoordinated  coalition has accomplished the following 

0 economic growth

0 employment growth and job creation

0 new council houses planned or built

0 capital gains/ wealth tax.

0 additional officers for  New Zealand Police in  2025

0 net positive outcomes  from Seymour's school lunch programme imbroglio , which continues to fail spectacularly

0 New ferries with rail transport capability confirmed as of  this post (this, after blowing up the previous government's  iRex agreement with Hyundai,  which would have yielded larger ships at a lower cost, and included port retrofit to accommodate for rail transfer , to the tune of  300 million in contractual unwinding, with no contract to replace it.) 

Like Billy Preston once said, 'nothin' from nothin means nothin' 

Results like this are more akin to a CEO of a major aircraft manufacturing company who pushes cutting corners in production, quality control, and safety mechanisms expecting 'better outcomes and efficiencies'  without understanding the nature of competent aircraft manufacture, then later  having to resort to suddenly vacate his position via a 'golden parachute' so as to avoid criminal prosecutions due to his imposed  short cuts leading to the  killing of  hundreds of people worldwide in several horrific crashes.  Said CEO then  narrowly  escapes prosecutorial consequences from the oozing and collapsing, brackish  slime of his own murderous greed and incompetence. 

This is the visual  example of your Coalition government  'hitting all the KPIs" "hitting your targets" "doing basics brilliantly" , and  your being 'laser-focused on economic growth, growth, growth'.   It exemplifies how  multi-national corporations CEOs induce  empty, euphemistic syntax and verbiage that presumes technical and structural outlays and goals that sound official ,  specific,  assured as factually supported. and attainable. 

The 'goals' however are often  artifice,  packaged as tangible and relevant, which  , on further objective analysis, much of this sloganeering rhetoric has zero substance toward real-time circumstances or conditions it attempts to claim that it is addressing, as it is devoid of verifiable detail  associated with  'real world' impact , coupled with performative actions on a superficial and theatrical level

In short: Quite an ample amount of empty adjectives,  adverbs, and actions to say and do  absolutely 'nothin' ' 

 David Seymour, being the walking, talking  Atlas Network think tank vomit that he is 'added value' of his own ,  hiding  behind the droll,  smarmy,  vacuous arguments about pulling up ones bootstraps , 'economic self-determination'  and 'equal rights' which is doublespeak for more land seizure from indigenous peoples  , more giveaways to corporate metastasizing and access to resources for the raping and pillaging  by multinational conglomerate willing to pay to play.

                        David Seymour trying to gaslight RNZ reporter Mihingarangi Forbes about having  not participated in 

                 Atlas Network events calling it 'conspiracy theory',  and the associated evidence of his history with Atlas Network

                                                            (Source: USS Nuke Sponge 5 nz YouTube channel)

Seymour's endlessly performative  fuckery of the flubbing  of the school lunch programme is in line with your fact-less slop about needing to eliminate 14 imaginary  layers of bureaucracy from Health NZ that 'would not include frontline staff' , where in by it was precisely  frontline staff you had cut.  To call it lying is obvious- both yourself  and Seymour have a near recalcitrant relationship with facts and truth that bridges upon the obscenely absurd. Your preferred method of mis-directive narration  is a bit different from the ACT leader, where as Seymour  takes advantage of bullying   soft, conflict-adverse local media personalities  in totality,  fully aware they will not push him on his dishonesty by forcibly talking over and repeating his lies , and calling them  names in a condescendingly  passive-aggressive overtones. 

However , Prime Minister you  have mastered the dark art of  wholesale  obfuscation, by blurting out senseless and ineffectual, repetitive, non-contextual , superfluous word salad  responses without answering a single question directly. At all. This  approach has confounded the likes of most reporters , script readers, and teleprompter commandos . What it provides in clarity is that the destruction of the health & public services being embarked upon by you two specifically  is  deliberate

                  PM Luxon spending 30 minutes not answering a single, direct question from Jack Tane om Q&A. . Just for self-                           amusement, count the times C-Lux prefaces a non-answer with "what I would say to you is " a signal he will                                                         respond with a word salad to go nicely with a plate of deliverable bullshit                                                                                                   (Courtesy Q&A with Jack Tame- TVNZ1 productions )

Further evidence of your purposeful destruction of the social contract,  you brought in Simeon Brown who is  patently underdeveloped emotionally ,  reactionary as a petulant teenager hyped up on hormones and Ritalin when he receives well-earned  criticism,  and  bestowed to him the Health NZ portfolio: one of the largest and most complex to handle after  you sacked  Dr Shane Reti , a respected GP who was not cut out for your slash-and-burn  takedown 'targets'  of Health NZ.  This being done, when seeking shelter from the blatant cockup committed   with National's  ensuring accessible  cancer research meds would get continued funding  floundered when  both yourself and the intellectually diminutive Nicola Willis  screwed the pooch so badly you quickly had to vomit out for media consumption  that  'the end of the year' the funding would be available having been unintendedly left out and forgotten of the  budget earlier in 2024.

So with Dr. Reti out for the sake of  covering  National's  hide, PeeWee Herman now gets the grand responsibility. Since he has assumed the role, there were 3 deaths by emergency wait-times uncovered in Wellington alone, with doctors in the Northland  reporting that the  outsourcing elective procedures is being done to fraudulently  bolster reduction of wait times   , deliberately stripping the NHS of resources in the process. If correct, its the  same game the Tories and their backers, the  pharmaceutical industry and private insurance corporate  monoliths,  ran in the UK over a period of a decade.

This is austerity in action: the predatory economic strategy meant to addle the  working class poor by keeping them underemployed and underpaid so as to prevent meaningful unity  and  unionization to battle back through the electoral process. The idea is to break their will, get them consumed by their own struggle, being so 'punch drunk' and exhausted so as not be able to  muster a clear, cogent and cultivated informed response by political action en masse .  The National-led  coalition's  socio-economic  ineptitude is no accident- it is anti-working/ anti-middle class . These results profess alignment to the 10% whom you, Seymour, Willis, Bishop & Brown are actually committed to. 

It is quite disgusting to watch this cirque d'abat-jour parading as actual mandated public  policy, when upon closer review is just performative cosplay , with emphasized pretense on 'economic growth' and 'law and order', neither of which have been successful on any real metric,  only the pseudo-performative KPIs you invent as you go along. Your  Housing Minister  recently articulated an unintentional and accurate assessment of the homeless  crisis, and the governments true position on Q&A with Jack Tane (30 March broadcast) : 

 " We've made it harder to get into (social housing), and easier to get out". 

As previously mentioned, Bishop had changed the settings for receiving emergency housing assistance in August 2024 which directly increased homelessness in Auckland , Wellington, and even Christchurch. This casual admission was meant to contextually allay concern about fraudulent procurement of such emergency assistance from the state,  (and as always, being absent of any data to support his empty claim)  that such fraud was endemic, basically confessing what the true  policy is:  to aid in the collective and continuing  fucking over of the homeless and working  poor for the sake of multi-national corporations to profit directly from resource raping New Zealand , placing already-proven ineffective austerity measures at the behest of the donor class so they continue the updraft of lost income of the lower class  as profit for themselves. 

Your sizable  oblique, egocentric-driven   hatred of the working class extends from the narcissistic  assumption of you being somehow 'special' or well-endowed with talent as a previous-tenured CEO serval times over. The truth is far more unforgiving: CEOs are normally the least talented, least imaginative and most hated species within the current corporate landscapes and in the general public. Often, they are mere figureheads whose only responsibility is generating profit at all costs for stockholders, implementing shallow, soulless  superficial sloganeering rhetoric  and directives for top-down delivery to other direct reports to create.  

The 'empty suit' moniker is the apt description of your 'leadership style'. So vapid  , weak and willfully ignorant Prime Minister , your own  coalition partners  have zero respect for you  professionally , treating you as their Muppet, knowing they will not face any  consequences if they violate  rule or law as you will not hold them to account to yourself or to the people that are suppose  to serve. And why shouldn't they? You capitulated to Seymour's TP Bill  without contest, knowing it would be political boric acid upon its first reading in Parliament.  Having not appeared at the Hikoi in Wellington back in November of last year and ducking out of the Te Tiriti celebrations at Waitangi  this passing February demonstrated your intractable thin-skinniness when it comes to facing criticism of the shallow defense of your coalition , using your heinous , moronic cacophony  of verbal gymnastics that you eschew in every situation which requires  articulate authenticity in addressing meaningfully, turning  over deflective canards , favoring defensive posturing to preserve your ego rather than have the balls to own your short-sided vision which has leant not only to your deliberate destruction of job creation, but has raise the scepter of cultural and racial division  which you spurred on by the closing of Māori wards,  attacking Te Reo Māori , attempting its  removal from public spaces , government office locations , literature and communications.

When you want to marginalize and eliminate the presence of  an indigenous  culture ,  always begin at the erasure of  their language - a classic colonial maneuverer, right Prime Minster?   

What I find  fascinating in your particular approach to this, is your insistence that you don't support the Treaty Principals Bill past its 2nd reading, which taken in totality is a perfectly worthless and wasteful activity allowing this poorly conceived piece of  documental contrived ass to even  travel through this far into the parliamentary process whilst having no intention of  rendering  collective support. this speaks loudly to the exact nature that both yourself and Act Leader David Seymour are nearly ideologically identical : 

Both of you are staunch  pro-oligarchical/ managerial class minions, have a strong loathe of workers and  the working poor as you view them as  losers and parasites, and you both would  be more than happy to  fuck over the homeless thousands across Aotearoa, being the  mindless, cheerleaders of late-stage American-style Capitalism despite the horrific downside  ongoing in that failed Republic.

And being the  good tie-waring pro-corporate/ capitalist  indoctrinated filth that you are, both of you ascribe to the hatred of anything  native, brown-skinned that isn't of white European descendancy. You have made it  your collective unstated mission to foment emotional hostilities, create divides socially  and politically as part of the overall distraction,  whilst you and your corporate criminal  homeboys fuck off with all the money and resources. stolen from publicly purposed services and benefits that are naturally funded by working-class taxation. 

Commoners like myself call that 'theft' , Prime Minister

This explains your incessant need in  blaming the previous  Labour  government for Nationals incompetent  inaction of public policy  and nonsensical budgetary cuts to destroy institutions that are  infrastructure and services-related.  It is being done purposely by you and your  coalition.

Believing yourself to be so gifted  in negotiation and such a paragon of corporate success is so maniacally absurd  it qualifies for classification as being the result of  the Dunning-Krueger effect. Having no original thoughts or ideas which could even amount to anything resembling a 'plan', you have soaked the media landscape and the walls of Parliament  with empty adjectives, platitudes, slogans, deflective narration  and name calling of your opponents as standard content  in your interactions as Prime Minister. 

You have foisted the veneer of  your governance as being akin as the "CEO of New Zealand", with  the coalition , anti-intellectual as it is, with yourself leading the charge, Prime Minister, artfully  imparting  zero substantiation of verified data or research to clearly assemble  legitimate, cohesive  economic  policy , choosing hollow rhetoric resembling articulatable  policy without meaningful detail, or answering a single,  direct question intelligently. This ugly and superficial sideshow of incognizance  reached an apex when you couldn't answer a   direct  yes-or-no  question from radio personality Michael Hosking regarding the resignation of MP Andrew Bayly. The 'CEO' construct is nothing beyond self-aggrandizement, and belies the truth about your leadership style...

You don't have one, because you can not lead, and you haven't thus far. What you have done is achieved office , and have conducted performance pieces as interviews to render  facades of 'active leadership' in stand-ups, sit-downs and other events with which  you lent your face to the media. Circus  and bread with a side of word salad ad nauseum whilst your Coalition continues to sell off New Zealand by the kilogram to oligarchical paper-chasers who haven't any concern  of  culture or the public at large.

And what the public has seen and experienced  to this point,  is that (just like these last  4 paragraphs of this article ) there is a whole lotta nothin' goin' on'

Of Circus And Bread in the Daze of Chaos: An Open Letter the PM Luxon and the Right Honorable Chris Hipkins

Good day Gents:

Well, that was surely entertaining fellas!  This passing  election cycle , in which New Zealand  publicly voted  to  their deepening  silos of  political and social division ,  demonstrably by way of a triple-coalition government taking 43 calendar days to foment an agreement between a self-loathing right wing  Māori in David Seymour , a megalomaniacal, free-press hating, paleolithic political fossil in Winston Peters, and yourself, Prime Minister, an empty suit schooled in the primacy of  crony corporate Capitalism by way of your time as CEO with  Unliver in London,  Chi-town and  Toronto, eventually moving on to Air New Zealand  so that you could squash any racket  made about living  wage  amongst the front-line workers  of that world-renowned airline. Equally entertaining is the current slaughter of all Labour policies that the Coalition is embarking on- many of which were ineffective, unrealistic, or just plain window dressing. Addition by subtraction: the appearance of  progressive action and strength . It's great theatre, indeed, but is about as vital in substance as  candy floss. 

Nice work!

To The Right Honourable Hipkins, your leadership  was nothing short of complete milquetoast and  maladroit  ministry  that  you continued from your benefactor and predecessor Jacinda  Ardern, a pseudo social democrat.  Labour's impudence was in full effect for 6 years, and  did nothing that is worth really raving about policy-wise. You let the wolves in the parlour: giving access to  the monolithic  corporate criminal  syndicate of BlackRock to take root in Aotearoa. You let  affordable housing and low-income builds  throughout New Zealand slow to a crawl during Labour's  entire time in office, and demand has sharply risen, creating wait lists for people who are in desperate need of public housing.  Lack of public housing means  a steady increase in homeless Mr. Hipkins, lest you are unaware. 

Labour did little to help resettle migrants during and after CoViD, and were more than happy to send 'em back where they came from, rather than allow historical  access to MSD emergency benefits,  of which your party had actually sanctioned. Your agencies  placed in charge of the  temporary benefit program Manaaki Manuhiri, which was enacted for 3 months in 2020  ran through the Red Cross , with DIA Foreign Visitors Centre acting as the final line of  approval,  was land-mined with snipers  using vague requirements and rules that could be made ultra-flexible in context, giving room for harsh declination and rendering a  deliberately difficult path for redress and appeal . I know this personally, for as a migrant, I experienced this verbatim. Unlike a lot of my compatriots  who were dealt with the same way by DIA and had surrendered their fight,  I was able to traverse and battle through the slippery and unethical grievance process, being belittled,  bullied, disenfranchised  and overtly lied to by several agency  staff members employed by the DIA along the way . I ultimately won appeal on the very last day of the program -30th November. This  nearly two month fight led to mine being in arrears in rent, electric and water, aggravating my attempts in attaining  work after being laid off. 

That's not public assistance, Mr. Hipkins,  that's  game-playing political expediency rendering the facade of compassion for public consumption .  Ardern , yourself   and Labour did all you could to hide your disdain of migrants, as the party brought into the fable of there being  a vast expanse of able-bodied kiwis  ready, willing and available to step up and move the economy back into its pre-pandemic heights. Ardern's inability to acknowledge  the kiwi latitude and cultural antipathy toward work as a whole was sheer comedy. Out of all industrial nations worldwide,  New Zealand has the smallest average work week  , at 37 hours . It was migrants that drove New Zealand's GDP up through productivity and innovation in the preceding years. Post Covid, Labour did nothing to stop the  en masse  exodus of skilled labour  that occurred, whilst at the other end doing exactly zero meaningful  stewardship for a  talented migrant and skilled kiwi labour pool that had been forcibly returned to the island  from overseas during the pandemic. Only being moved to meaningful action by artifice  when  forced by petition did Labour's  inept immigration czar Kris Faafoi  allow amnesty for migrants caught in protocol and visa limbo hell, and a pathway to residency.

Labour was the party with the mandate in 2021, and did nothing but steady the ship after Covid, and made no true action on the coming onslaught  of exacerbated class inequality . A truly centrist government beholden to its core lobbyists and special interest and nothing more. Labour has learned nothing from its latent hue of policy mediocrity . The proof of its immense self-inflicted disability by the legacy of your party's  pseodo-progressive governance , is the very allowance of Labour  letting you lead the opposition against the same elected government you allowed to set Labour alight like  a cheap polyester shirt left in the dryer for too long.

Burnt ,shrunk , and left in the stench of  toxic melt. 

Now you cackle and crow in defiance of  PM Luxon and the Shutdown Twinz and their goonish languidity , oafish self-aggrandizement and empty , codified xenophobic hubris masquerading as a "strong government"  coalition. Your expansive verbiage and debate mastery to heckle these sallow henchmen you will impart, indeed. It will be the empty space you will inhabit in that liminal melancholy which  is most tragic, Mr. Hipkins. There was an opportunity you could have  fend off these dark arbiters that keep the middle and lower classes fighting amongst themselves , now entrenched into their silos for the next three years. You did  nothing.  Your pragmatic idling allowed the danger of mulit-national infiltrators of corporate hegemony to take root. You didn't rise to it.  They, the Corporate paranoids of the right,  after exposing your incredible lack of  street smarts,  punched you and Labour in the mouth, and sent you to the back of the bus. 

All  you can now do is cowl and virtue-signal as the minority in Parliament,  Labour reduced to  no more than a  theatre troupe vainly seeking an audience.

And you, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, now your coalition in full forward motion with the  anti-intellectual ACT and NZ First glitterati, a modular dysfunctional vehicle of  pure artifice if ever there was one. For many of us who remained slightly above a semi-conscious state during the electoral campaign recognize what it is you truly are in politics for...

Everyone who  looks like you, acts like you, and is monied like you. 

The real estate class, the property owners. The paper-chasing humanoids of the financial sector who are into  expanding  profit,  mass consumption of resources,  and personal gain at the expense and  death of people and cultures,   all while  nations burn to the ground. The 'WEF invitee class' who cannot wait to subjugate the lower classes and bring them to heal, all while telling them  what they can and cannot say. 

There's alot to unpack here..and  to unload on you.

First off: Your intent on banning gang patches, as if to suggest by merely covering up or removing  a piece of stitched insignia apparat ,you can eliminate the gangs themselves via  penalties, forfeitures and  the eschew  of other instruments of state-sponsored  fiduciary terrorism .  This act of censorship  (and it is censorship in its intent to quash free expression) not only is a core demonstration of your pervasive lack of imagination, but speaks firmly how you really view those who come from poverty, recidivism, domestic violence, homelessness, drug abuse, rape, failing and fading  resources, suppressed wages, stunted upward mobility  and higher death rates overall, and haven't any income source meaningful beyond interstate drug dealing and territorial control

They're all  just criminals. 

No longer human beings  in the vox populi campaign you ran as some kind of pseudo champion of the people  a la Donald Trump. They are merely animals that need to be interred at the zoo. This aligns with your current rush to remove te reo Māori from public services, publications and spaces forthwith.. It is  wanton dehumanizing  of  primarily ethnic groups  at both ends of this censorship spectrum:  on one end shutting  down free expression that is cauterized as socially and publicly   'offensive' and 'criminal', and at the other  end, diminishing indigenous language as  'unnecessary' and 'irrelevant',  relegating its cultural importance to general marginalization is obtusely authoritarian , and historically, a colonial act of deliberate cultural disenfranchisement . Native Americans, Aboriginals, Moriori, and countless other  native cultures have had their language stripped, were violently displaced and destroyed by European colonial conquest worldwide. During the Māori 'activation' protest which ascended on Wellington on 5 December , when asked about it by the press during your new government rollout, you claimed ignorance as to why they were protesting initially , reinstating the artifice of bringing together New Zealand as 'one people' What you meant was  white people, Prime Minister.

A nation strictly for  those who look like you, act like you, and are monied like you.

And you proudly represent the Professional Managerial Class. which excludes poor whites as well. Sure, you tailored your campaign to draw their vote , particularly in the rural areas and farming communities.  You made your prerequisite  pit stops and campaign stumps at areas  where  the working white  poor were made even poorer by natural disasters in the past year. What expresses contempt toward the most vulnerable is the very construct you and National's willingness to pull down and away the very benefits keeping them afloat. It's the politics of  class assault: dissolve the social compact,  shatter the windows of  the public space, revert the  monies and safety nets  so as to deliver back  to your compatriots  who are members of the global 1%. Your apparent  dream is  to hear champagne glasses clicking in the skyscraper penthouses and  salons of power,   whilst  down in the dirge and filth of the cities below,  law enforcement swarm and trap homeless families like sewer rats to carrion, as to be taken away, to incarceration, so as to disappear from your view, not to cause you discomfort as you partake in the festivities..

ACTs pronouncement about increasing the construction of prisons and  the relaxing of stringent gun laws further supports this divisive environment by creating a circus of distraction and violence among the classes, whilst the upper 10% continue profiting through  tax loopholes snuck through Parliament at the behest  of you donors., of which  Winston Peters is already in their back pockets, in putrid cynical fashion.

How to figure this assumption of  this being your intent as Prime Minister, Mr Luxon? I'm an American Kiwi. I have seen the result of the deliberate disleveraging  parlayed on my people, the working class poor. I watched my city , Los Angeles-  pummel 70, 000 people into the streets all across L.A. county proper , 40% of which are families .  Across freeway overpasses and footpaths littered with tents, hunger, police harassment , stress, bile and insomnia. At one time I was one of them: No games, Prime Minister,  you can read it here.and here . I haven't forgotten that feeling of being less-than,  being judged, and being criminalised for trying to recover from circumstances I did not create, but was created by a system of inequity used to benefit the upper 1%. No workers rights meant I lost not one, but two jobs without discernible reason. I was working an average of 60 hours a week to support my family, then, suddenly parsed public assistance that did not cover basic  living and breathing, then further down the line- eviction, then: out in the streets for the next 4 months.

I was defined  as a low life. A loser. A criminal.  Language your class uses to describe us  on the streets and shelters , living out of cars,  camper vans and  caravans, Mr. Luxon., the 'whiners' and 'losers' among us. I wonder how many homeless people that came across your purview that  you scoffed  at on your way to the office in Chicago. I wonder about the presence of your  fellow pasty-faced  American corporate homeboys  you rolled with who  barked  and bellowed about "these low-life niggers" running the streets on the south side.  

You have never  wont for anything, never been  destitute, and have had full access to upward mobility.  In that, I wonder what you would have done if you had been working  as a hotel  security agent in a  5 star luxury Hotel situated at the  landmark Hollywood and Vine intersection in the heart of  Tinsel Town at  2am  on a frothy and sleepy November eve,  , when a seeminigly  homeles man ,  self-proclaiming to be a Marine veteran who had just returned from Afghanistan rocks up,  his head fully consumed in  his  combat PTSD , in your establishment's  lobby with a .45 caliber pistol pressed firmly through the bottom of his empty backpack, begins arguing with front desk staff, and when you approach him to ask him what is going on, he  openly confers to you directly his  contemplation  of  murder-suicide of all those present  and you having no weapon on your person  except your wits.  Curious if you would managed to craftly and adeptly show compassion to the gentlemen, and talk him down, even though your terrified your one-off attempt might find you in a coffin,  or  would you defecate in  your trousers, say something blindingly impish with a  high squeal of terror at the top of your  larynx, and manage  to get yourself, and everyone on shift with you in  the somber early morning  some toe tags tied fitted to each of  your dead feet as your carted off in a meat wagon  to the morgue. Just another American Mass shooting statistic for the next news cycle.

It's a true story. I actually managed to get the poor bastard to put away his weapon and, after he verified his active duty status when he voluntarily presented his military ID card, I gave him  a hotline number to the very  veterans assistance which I had used myself when I ended up homeless. Being a vet myself, I understood the futration he felt  of feeling discarded and forgotten after my service. He was a combat marine: a trained killer who needed  deprogramming. I bring this forward not as braggadocio. The point is that the class you represent creates and manufactures conflict to covet more resources, materials and land for your collective enterprises globally. Your class kills us in large numbers through your wars of  corporate profit expansion. It is disgusting, Prime Minister Luxon, that you haven't any issue with being the custodian of the corporate monoliths  who want to eventually have  us all killed if we don't 'comply', and get out of their way.

You're not ignorant of this either, Prime Minister. You are fully aware of this in fact, and don't give a damn, and for the simplest of reasons.You don't have to.

Many New Zealand  voters missed this aspect of your progeny, including  your wealth being built on investment , particularly in property management and as a tenured CEO of multiple corporations. This  has solidified  your bias  of  advancing Capitalism to profit  from both personally, professionally as well as to benefit your  other corporate criminal  contemporaries in three-piece suits. You speak in the language of  'American gangster' capitalism , utilising the deceptive double-speak sloganeering of 'creating better outcomes  for New Zealanders through expanding business' , giving tax deferment  to Property managers and landlords which in itself solidifies inequality and corners the working poor, which you will further throw battery  acid on them  via oppressed wages and neuter any ability for workers to negotiate for better pay and elevation in  their status and station.

And you have gotten over so far, with the entirety of New Zealand 's news media (both state-run and independant) having  completely taken their eye off the ball and letting you off the hook, having  never challenged you on the fact the PMC you rep deliberately  contribute to divisive xenophobia , fear mongering, policy inversion, encouragement of  social violence  so as to use laws to curtail personal freedoms such as free speech and privacy.  You have essentially modeled your policies to be  textbook American policy via lobbyism from mulit-national corporations such as  BlackRock, Vanguard, the fossil fuel industry and Big Pharma. 

You don't care, Prime Minister. You just want a seat at that table. And another 3 , maybe four years in power to expand your CV and line your coffers and pockets . You don't have to care personally, as you know you are shielded from any consequences of your intended policies of pure rot and grift for the elites. They will aid in your protection from the rest of us.

There is one little problem for both of you, and for varying reasons of concern, gentlemen. Because of your collective self-interest, incompetence of progressive policy making and narcissism , you are bringing Aotearoa closer to the sunken place:  that  ride up to the edge of the waterfall of  ultra- violence ,  media and government  collusion in censorship and propaganda, militarised policing killing unarmed poor whites and people of color,  extreme  class inequality left over from Capitalism  which has left it a living graveyard of calcified institutions  enshrined and stained with the rust and filth of corruption, just like a place 11,000 kilometeres from our location....

The 2023 General Election: Of Polity and Inequality

Neither Labour nor National can weather the coming onslaught of  corporate corruption and malfeasance as they both are keen to invite  foreign money to 'invest' in Aotearoa

KC SHOEN

The Plausible Scenario

Imagine as a  relatively small  nation of  5 million people, that the new incoming  government  elected this October has already  came into power and put forth a tough-on-crime policy for legislative approval.  Assume also that a coalition  plurality is strong enough in numbers for the prevailing party to support such intensive measures to become law. 

Fast forward about 3 years, and suddenly 15-20% of that 5 million are incarcerated under these new draconian 'anti-crime' measures. You notice not only that the conviction, sentencing  and  incarceration rates  skyrocketing simultaneously,  but the the knock-on effect of  prisons being built rise exponentially  so as to facilitate and warehouse these newly-minted criminals. Of the incarcerated, you note astutely, that  this expanded prison population  mostly consists of people of colour (pacifica & maori) who  make up about nearly 70%  of the dominant demographic, with lower/working class Pākehā making up nearly the  other 23-25%. As time gets on, and with these measures continued, you do note crime levels drop only slightly, except in two of the most critical  areas needed for continuing a stable & just society: high theft & burglaries and  violent crime, including mass shootings. You find that these are escalating at a harrowing rate unforeseen in New Zealand's history. They become more common,  more frequent,  and more destructive.

You notice that the the recidivism rates actually increased under the newer,  more harsh anti-crime measures. Domestic violence, suicide rates, drug use are all rising faster than in previous years.   In tandem to this excess, the  government rescinds  requirements  regarding the  levying of higher tax against corporations and the wealth accumulation of  affluent individuals, specifically in regard to capital gains tax and revenue profit taking, as an attempt to curry favorable consideration of foreign investment throughout the country. This attempt actually exasperates two major dynamics already  long-neglected in 2023: Corporate profit- taking driven  inflation,  which expanded class inequality via increased rentals and rent cost, health care, a steep rise in the rate of homelessness,  and adding further insult, the affluent class in New Zealand pays nearly no taxes, as  the general tax burden shifts downward to to the full-spectrum middle class to shoulder.  

As you live in one of New Zealand's five-largest cities, you note your daily trek to work is littered with tents alongside busy footpaths. A sizable homeless population is now  occupying green spaces meant originally as reserves for public enjoyment,  having become makeshift outdoor emergency shelters for these  swiftly-erected tent cities- 40% of  which house low-income working families. The extreme class inequality is extraordinarily evident , and mortifying. Violent gangs and general thuggery now thrive in this space, as does other violent anti-social activity.  The accelerated rise  of single-parent families  in poorer communities,  in part from the expansion of the carceral state,  has become  both the new norm as well as the majority . An entire generation now is lost. As is your community, your city and your country...

If you gotten this far in to this article, you might find the entirety of this future-narrative a bit of a melodramatic  dystopian  exaggeration. Which is understandable, until you look northwest across the Pacific and  become aware of the fact ( as laid before you in  multiple links provided by the highlighted words within the sentence, below) that these near-apocalyptic scenarios are  occurring, in real  time. in a far away land about 11,000 kilometers from our shores....

The Two-Headed Chris, A village missing its idiot, and The  Green bewilderedness

Chris Hipkins is essentially a left-over: the remnants of a once uber  centralist-liberal dream that disintegrated, retreating back to its mediocre roots after outsized influence largely from  it's response to Covid. And just like its charismatic orator and last benefactor,  Jacinda Ardern, who pretended to be a democratic socialist,  Labour pretends to be a robustly progressive tent,  but these three collectively have always  been centrist with corporate leanings.  Left-over  Hipkins, whose profile raised surreptitiously after advising folks to 'spread their legs ' during lockdown, saw his profile raised exponentially when Ardern split the scene to Cambridge, Massachusetts  (to feast on fellowship monies provided by the American  criminal corporate  1%  through their  one-time slave-owning ivy league university) , has been less than spectacular. This is not a dig on the ginger gent's lack of strong presence, but more on his lack of substance. 'In it for you;' has about as much sincerity as a campaign slogan as a gossip columnist swearing they don't engage in blackmail of their celebrity prey du jour, no matter how high the bounty. This is him trying to put some 'Hip" into his namesake, and appear authentic before his constituents. His releasing of Labour's  9 point pledge  is a repackaging  of what the party has already has historically backed,  performed on ,  or promised previously, and does nothing to face expanding class inequality.

Hipkins himself, a product of New Zealand academia, has shown meddle as a man whom will fight for a cause he deems fit, such as when he was wrongfully arrested back in 1997 when protesting the  Tertiary Review Green Bill at Parliament. He has shown striking tenacity and a steady hand both in the Auckland Anniversary weekend flooding of 2023 and Cyclone Gabriel. There is no question he is built for crisis, and can manage adeptly, unlike his counterpart, Auckland's  mealy-mouthed, moribund and morally bankrupt mayor Wayne Brown who completely wilted in self-defensive postering when he couldn't manage his way through a paper bag, let alone a functional emergency response for a city under deluge. 

But it's Hipkins'  centrist position that is wholly destructive, as is it  not guided by conditions on the ground, nor guided by the understanding of the world in which New Zealand resides in at current.  Mental acuity to grasp the nature of what is causing the nation to fall further back socio- economically is not a strong suit he bares with any true command . A pragmatist always lacks peripheral  vison to enable full-spectrum view, especially when its comes to matters of nascent  corporate incongruity.  Under his stead, the uber-criminal syndicate of  Black Rock has been allowed to start sucking up capital for 'sustainable green projects', and has fortified its presence. For those sullied  by my identifying  BlackRock as a criminal organization as being capricious or conspiratorial , consider this:  they are owners of an electric company in  Maui, Hawaii, that mysteriously cut off power to Lahaina six hours before the  horrific fire that leveled only the poorest housing  and structures, and killing only the poorest residents in south Maui, sparing the multi-million dollar homes  and hotels in the area . The same organization whom pushed  Prime Minister Emmanuel Macron  of France to forcibly raise the  retirement age without an open referendum nor consideration of public debate which sparked  month's long protests throughout the country.  As further evidence of the monolithic chicanery this behemoth is involved in , just watch  a certified recruiter from the company explain their global ambitions...

Hipkins lacks the global 'street smarts' in staving off vulture capitalists who are itching to buy thier way into New Zealand' s fragile market  and wreck the place for their own profit. The allowance of BlackRock to come in  and establish itself is profoundly telling of the putative naiveté that  he himself, and many members of parliament have toward foreign investors intentions, particularly, American, British  & Chinese hedge funders and investment firms that are completely self-benefitting and devoid of any ethical standard of 'fair play', no longer in service in creating new wealth for clients, but expanding wealth for themselves solely even if it means creating a  language that communicates environmental concerns they have no intention of meaningfully participating in. 

All the while, The Ardern/ Hipkins  led Labour continued shutting out and down migrants during CoVid, and leaving them to return to unsafe ramparts of nefarious  origins whilst allowing the likes of the DIA to manipulate away needed benefits they had temporarily been given unprecedented qualified access to receive, and allowing a toadie to run Immigration New Zealand into the ground. 

As a consequence,  Hipkins and Labour over the last 5 years have let the wolves into the parlour. 

The other Chris, Mr. Luxon , former MP of Botany is a  political- corporate creature unabashedly representing the interests of the managerial class. Having attain the heights of  CEO of Unilever in Toronto, Canada by way of Chicago, U.S. at the tender age of 38. C-Lux's  exposure the grand heights of capitalism during his time in North America left  in him an indelible mark. Having been born into a Roman Catholic family where Dad was a sales exec for Johnson & Johnson and his mother a psychotherapist gave  him  the kind of access to better schooling and opportunities that only this background can offer  through  disparity of access via inequality that is the Capitalist Way:  The Winners & Losers ,  of which he was on the winning side. In  recent years, this attribute would express itself through his  having no interest in allowing livable wages for workers during his time with Air New Zealand, and no care about curtailing malfeasance from investor toxicity.

If any one government is ready to show BlackRock and other 'foreign investors' some love, it's Luxon- homelessness by suffocating  housing unaffordability, rising food insecurity, wage deflation and recidivism be damned.... Cone on in boys! Lets Do This! 

His continuous roll-out of embarrassing policies wholly lacking in self-awareness, such as the youth rental bond initiative, his pretentious defense that his tax deferment policy of the upper class  will benefit the economy and curtail poverty, while leaving a $2 billion dollar hole to shore up fiscal appropriation,  and his sallow, vague  pulp being the National Party 8 point plan   is a strong showing  of what an empty suit he is. C-Lux's refusal to consider capital gains and luxury tax, in turn a blatant refusal to make the upper 10% pay their share, is demonstrative of  his obtuse self-interest and inane indifference to the current state of iniquity being experienced by the middle and lower working class in New Zealand. A view that Hipkins also holds , expressing his own naive lack of vision, backbone, and passivity in the matter

The debate that took place between these two bricks of the establishment wall on the 19th of September in Auckland  for mass media consumption and soundbytes,  only further fomented that both are actually the  same: neo-liberal centrists with no handle on the inequality that both their parties contribute due to ineffectual policies. The Ardern/ Hipkins camp, although brilliantly guiding the nation through the first 18 months of the pandemic, have done little else,  being nothing more than  mere custodians of polity for  oncoming corporate interest heading into the country. Chris Luxon's post-Key National Party was the party who single-handedly allowed New Zealand's credit rating  with Standard and Poor's and Fitch Group to fall through the floor during their last reign. The same National Party always willing to cut the social  safety net away from the most vulnerable to appease their criminal foreign investor  friends, which in turn, set in motion the current landscape of intense disparity the likes this country has not seen.

Although Hipkins did mop up the floor with Luxon's face using confirmed facts and figures verses Luxons  shallow and repetitive use of sloganeering  masquerading as legitimate expression of policy, the debate was as hollow as wingbone: light and breezy, pseudo substantive and  inflective performative theatre. A mere artifice of placative entertainment not meant to put genuine resolve into action. The more dangerous bits was Luxon's commitment to ban gang patches ( a form of censorship) and  the  allowance of expansion of large  tech companies into New Zealand , a problematic proposition given their dubious history

Further concerning was both candidates commitment to criminalizing 'hate speech', another form of censorship which part of a much larger issue involving  global oligarchical control over the masses. 

ACT's David Seymour has been reduced to just being comedy relief, and while  I could prattle on as to the wonderment of his vacuous existence, and the  ACT party being the mirror of the  violent, empty heads that occupy American House Freedom Caucus as well, I'll let John Campbell 'hold the mic and spit this'  as his 'bars are phat'. I will say his misinformed  and boisterous musings make  for great entertainment. My favourite moment of anti-intellectual rumblings was when he was debating Chloe Swarbrick on NewsHub AM about how to best approach the uptick in criminal activity since CoVID. While she  was coherently laying her argument against harsher penalties for young offenders with verified facts and figures in relation to a solution that can be effective , he could only bellow superlative hyperbole " We just need strong sentencing!! New Zealand has become a third world country!!". Somewhere out amongst the countryside, a village is truly missing its idiot...

And this idiot and his party might have enough to get the 61 seats necessary to make a majority coalition with National...

 

The Greens, outside of Chloe Swarbrick, however,  are  hyper-focused on environmental impacts like climate change initiatives,  de-carbonization, implementation of alternative fuels, and overall improvement to food and water purity. They  do not, however,  address class inequality. 

A green bewilderment.

Not addressing class inequality as the primary crisis makes other 'green initiatives' absolutely unattainable and without solid structural base to enact. Put simply, if people are too broke to manage sustaining what they need  to live properly, they will not have time nor care to meaningfully pursue these matters with any brevity.  Without the leverage of equality, the environment will continue to suffer. Being participatory in the facade of 'green initiatives' enacted by multinational corporations is not only naive in itself, but is also superficial as such entities only care about profit, and will sell a captive audience anything they wish to hear, so as  to continue raping foreign lands globally of resources unencumbered. The Greens are the one party that can cease this activity in totality. They need to discontinue the mixed-messaging and focus first on driving back Capitalism-induced poverty, pay  disparity, and the speculatory-driven  housing prices and rents . No other party in Aotearoa  can or will do it. They should also force Labour's hand to start moving in that space from a policy context

This is assuming Labour even comes back to majority or coalition rule in parliament . They may not...

New Zealand voters collectively  are moving toward a "Lesser of Two Evils" approach this cycle, one that does not work. I know this intimately because I am American by birthright, and I have seen this movie before. Voting alone will not yield the change of course of class inequality. It will worsen, and as a result recidivism will rise in tandem with criminal activity, especially among the young. Gang membership , collectively at around 8,900 strong in New Zealand, is growing faster in membership than the rate of newly hired and trained police officers, which currently stand at around 10,000 . Illicit activity will draft new recruits into the gangs as other assessable  resources  are reduced and curtailment of upward mobility continues to exert pressure and the most vulnerable- the working lower class/ unemployed  poor.

One Last Point...

Labour, National, ACT, and NZ First are complete  centrist garbage as a collective. Green Party is ineffective unless  it has majority coalition with itself at the lead, and this is would  only be erstwhile if Ms. Swarbrick can get the other  enviro-obsessed members to start focusing on class inequality, as that  is where 'all the bodies are buried'.  

There is no danger of the Greens forming a new majority coalition government in October  according to the current poles. I have a better chance at winning the lotto

New Zealande voters themselves need to take stock in their neighbours wellbeing, irrespective of differing  political leanings. We are part of the 'rest of the world' in the severity of the circumstances we find ourselves in.  If you need any evidence to suggest the plausible outcome of not bettering our neighbours and ourselves to a  more equal footing  through living wage and reasonable cost of living, if you still  view Capitalism as  all good, and becoming wealthy off the backs of others means your 'special', I would like to re-direct your attention as evidence to this place 11,000km northwest of here..

How They Will End Us

 In the dues ex machina which has expanded billionaire wealth from the CoVid pandemic , the managerial class are  writing their  'happy ending': the killing of the rest of us.

KC SHOEN

"It is impossible to separate the breakdown of civic culture, the collapse of language, and a rise in insurrectionist violence in the United States from the plague of gangster capitalism. Under a regime of privatized utopias, hyper-individualism, and ego-centered values, human beings are reduced to self-sufficient atoms of self-interest, removed from relations of mutual dependency. A neoliberal market-driven society has given rise to a culture of fear, uncertainty, and danger that numbs many people just as it wipes out the creative faculties of imagination, memory, and critical thought. Rather than live in a historical period that awakens the critical faculties, Americans now occupy a social order that freezes and numbs the capacity for informed judgment. " Henry Giroux

As the vestiges of democracy throughout the world continue to evaporate into the full illusion of fantastical fiction,  and should compliance from the masses cease and turn into full-scale social  rebellion worldwide,  the oligarchs and the WEF are preparing to kill us off completely via the  reduction of  access to food and water, the institution of trackable and controllable central digital currency which can be siphoned  from private bank accounts with  just a keystroke 

This is not conjecterous rancor nor paranoid conspiratorial hyperbole. It  has started in earnest. 

Countries like the United States, Australia & New Zealand where active resistance against repressive censorship from establishment narratives of corporate media are inert and  nearly non-extant, the once-quiet creep of the slow muzzling of public dissent against such capitalist narratives have become profoundly outbound; noisily possessing the compunction to interrupt, misdirect, propagandize in unfettered saturation,  mute, and imprison its populace without so much as a collective  shrill holler in defiance.

Coupled with the cultural  unwillingness to unify in protest in the U.S.in particular, there are three partitions that will allow this continued repression of rights by the corporate oligarch to persist to our global death: The Corporate /Donor Class partition, The Law Enforcement/ Para-military partition and The Elected Political Sycophant partition. I will focus  on the Corporate partition, as they are the ring-leaders to the other two who  get their marching orders from. This is a kinship of wanton control and/or elimination of laws, governmental processes of oversight, progressive  social policies that intervene their control, subvert their advantage, and counters ideological constructs they are positioned in , or create as narrative.

The Lords of Kingdoms: The Corporate/Donor Class partition 

"All that is needed is money and a candidate who can be coached to look sincere. Political principles and plans for specific action have come to lose most of their importance. The personality of the candidate, the way he is projected by the advertising experts, are the things that really matter." -Aldous Huxley-'Enemies Of Freedom Essays'-1958

For historical  context, American companies such as Ford, Coca-Cola, and Kodak all supported Hitler's  fascism, as it was financially and ideologically beneficial to to so. Being the nation that was the genesis of Eugenics,  racial segregation , and suppression which influenced Hitler's Ayrian  dream, these American-bred companies had became natural allies  of the Third Reich rendering direct  confluence and aid to  Germany to  becoming  a powerhouse of industrialization during the mid- 1930's to early 40's.  Having the support of  the SA:  a conglomeration of military veterans, para-military organizations and members of  law enforcement,  allowed Hitler and the NSDAP protection against groups who vehemently opposed them before and during his reign. Cronies positioned in critical points of the Nazi governmental and military posts lent Hitler continuity, even expansion of his ideological vision and command through propaganda, violence, and corporate backing. This same coalition of  collusional corruption allowed  for the stealth cover of the  protracted use of gas chambers and prison death camps to continue operations right up to the very last day of World War II.

The Powell Memo in 1971 was the device which began the corporate takeover of US policy via lobbying and the administrative revolving-door  to posts within the Federal Government for  former industry  CEOs , hedge funders and other 'captains of industry'.  The ramping  up of financial deregulation and union-busting during the  Reagan era  (that continues under Biden),  in tandem with Clinton-era's further protection roll-backs against corporate malfeasance and economic manipulation , fostering  further erosion and curtailment of  the public welfare safety net, the destruction of Social Security and further making toxic the Public Trust , alongside increased  military defense  spending rising  substantially since 1980,  (which currently allocates over 45% of discretionary tax revenue ) .  

Multi-national corporations world-wide haven't the slightest issue with dealing in misdirection by deliberate misinformation, even if  their activity, or associations with such violent regimes causes mass death. It is not their concern, just the margin of profits  and their coalesced retention of power via the purchase of elected bodies of governments so as  to enhance the  sphere of control they covet. This forwards the providing of policies for protection of wealth and capital being most paramount,  updrafting  lost income as revenue from any economic destabilization of the worker, including foreclosures and evictions  furthering the deliberate destruction of the public space and social contracts that articulate the provisions of social welfare for the working class itself. 

This includes 95% of the population of the western world that comes under the purview of the  oligarchical 1%.,  essentially, all of 'us' being those who are not recognized members of this strata class. They are the late-Capitalist Lords to our Kingdoms of  global serfdom, and we are now more than ever in human history,  under thier complete rule.

As example, view the totality of  the Covid pandemic:  from  its origin, creation, how it escaped from a lab in China after  human experimentation, the application of scientifically unproven  methodologies to mitigate and manage that were applied freely by governments upon their citizens,  to the unsubstantiated and incomplete research  that was the resulting vaccines  by its primary purveyor, the ensuing evidence of  adverse reactions to it, the Covid death rates between  the vaccinated being nearly the same as the unvaccinated,  additionally further victims who were  confirmed as killed by the vaccine exclusively while the high frequency of vaccinated persons  who where confirmed as diagnosed with myocarditis from the mRNA , the further censorship of factual information about these harms by conglomerate legacy and social media platforms, all of whom are sponsored by advertising revenue via the aforementioned  purveyor, the corruption, past and present discovered upon the purveyor, and the purveyor's callous antipathy towards negligible outcomes within global populations. 

Add to this the fact that as of 2021  the largest donor to the World Health Organization is the United States and The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (including GAVI,)  total nearly $1.87 billion dollars.  This does not include the World Bank , an American-based  institution which donated $132 million , and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) also based in New York City, US,  which donated $103 million dollars of its own.  So, it is not a completely speculatory, or even qualifying as paranoid delusion, to state the WEF's members obvious and  intense interest in the outcome of the recent amended changes to the  the WHO's  global IHR of 1969, (the amendments  categorized as the 'pandemic treaty'),  which has assigned (unelected) delegates from  each member country to 'sign off' and authorize approval of these amendments without public notification nor referendum. By placing the powers of surveillance, control of movement of peoples, a requirement for every human being to enroll and scanned into  a global digital health record tracking system  , to be accessed and  used within the sole discretion of  the executive branch of every member state government. 

On just the strength of this  alone you can view the continuing pattern of regulatory entities within government, as well as the private sector colluding to ensure that, above all,  profits and power are retained at the expense of the populous and the control thereof, by all means necessary.

Combined further with the IMF's cheerleading on centralized digital currency's worldwide implementation, which would eventually  criminalize personal possession of crypto,  placing limits on personal cash possession, could further  constrict, confine and isolate an entire populous with several keystrokes on  a laptop  by  one of any presiding Presidents or Prime Ministers under cloak of pandemic emergency, particularly those segments within a nation-state population who vigorously protest against such hegemonistic apoplexy being thrusted upon them against their will . Free speech and redress of grievance could be bankrupted into silence such as was done to the  the Canadian truckers who protested  against mandates back  in early '22, but on a much greater technological  scale then was previously imagined.

 In recent years the movement toward institutional implementation of  direct censorship masquerading as 'hate speech laws' has gained sizable traction. The Corporate/Donor Class partition has regularly instituted language coda deemed undesirable in corporate or social discourse for several decades. As a participating sycophant of the WEF,  former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was quite the enthusiastic voice for this polity wishing to criminalize such unpleasant non-threatening  protected free speech under this canon. The same one BlackRock has utilized in its ESG sloganeering, portending, and pretending to honor racial tolerance and  civility within the workplace,   ethical environmental practices and corporate  governance. 

This comparison might appear conflated, until you understand how both methodologies undermine free speech in totality. They  accomplish two objectives: 1) render a soft bifurcated censorship  disguised as polity for mass approval being 'disguised' as  creating a 'safe harbour' against  'bad or hateful' language in public spaces and media, and  2) establishing dictates to impart artificial morals against what is designated as 'improper'  or 'mis/ disinformation'.  Ardern's lament about outlawing 'extremist' speech was prompted by the alleged  misinformation carried out during the pandemic by 'anti-vaxxer radicals' in tandem with her enacting vaccine mandates , in which her handling of  was heavily criticized via protests.  For BlackRock, their implementation of ESG was the forerunner of 'cancel culture', and  in latter years, encouraged the censorship of dissent via de-platforming, FBI infiltration , collusion   and  censorship   within social media companies, supported by members of the US Democratic Party, while the  other half of the duopoly, the US Republicans and their donors fair no better in this , allowing the censorship by job  termination  of a mainstream news personality to occur without protest when they began reporting facts about the US proxy war in Ukraine, and the suspicious activity of federal agents and confidential human sources ('CHS') present amongst the protesters during the  riots at the U.S. capital on January 6th 2021.

Propaganda is another form of censorship exercised actively by this participation through their media conglomerates.  This was made simpler to conduct when monopoly rules were severed for media companies in the United States  in 1996. Since its enactment by President Clinton, all  major U.S. news media outlets  came under the  control of six companies. This has allowed the complete centralization of media dissemination and its ability to create propaganda narratives resembling factual journalism in support of their corporate masters worldview, alongside the controlling political party establishment(s).  Mainstream media was never completely neutral, but has been far more open in its willingness to manipulate facts and events to suit a narrative that allows this partition to complete its objectives .  9/11,  The Bush Administration's  WMD fiasco to invade Iraq, The Syrian Conflict, Russiagate, and the Ukraine Conflict are more of the obvious examples. Propaganda, and the divisions it creates, allows corporate oligarchs and their purchased political custodians   to continue their wholesale  criminal enterprise of razing the earth of resources and wealth extraction via the continuous construction of military bases  globally Coups, proxy wars, military triangulation, assassinations, installation of authoritarian regimes, and outward acts of  forward aggression to incite larger conflicts are merely the cost of expanding global capital. What was once thought tabu and incontrovertibly amoral and inhumane, is now normalized. Nuclear war is now a viable option where as twenty five years ago, was considered the end of all biological life on earth, a summation of a fools errand in  the most evil and malevolent  order. 

The efficacy of the impact of propaganda, including the deliberate perversion of intended context, has been long-lasting, allowing large swaths of populations globally to disenfranchise themselves through partisan echo-chambers online and further caste into self-implemented  silos within society,  divided amongst themselves and be devoid of critical thought and deductive reasoning. This partition has been successful, well-organized, focused and unified: never wavering from its putrid  narratives, false flags and persistent   suppression of dissonance  and distillation of meaningful oversite into its own  moribund, greedy, sallow, and violent psychopathy.

How The Global Mass Killing Starts

By keeping populations in perpetual divisions along cultural and political enmity,  it thwarts any ability at reconciliation to a unified revolt against the corrupt and self-enriching establishment. The partition is terrified always, of our sheer numbers and need to retain us in these silos, so  we do not recognize class inequality is our enemy, not one another. Its simplifies the ability to murder us all in greater numbers across dense populations with no threat of mass revolution.

Once the food & water sources are controlled and commodified globally, all communications monitored , all  legacy and social media  'cleansed' of all dissidence, the role of militarized law enforcement  will be to incarcerate the dissenters, and kill the rest as warranted. Simultaneously, once conglomerated control has been established across multiple countries using multiple entities and 'store front' NGOs, the killing of all 'non compliant' beings will be  made simpler and efficient.   American police departments , for example ,  currently operate under 'qualified immunity' from prosecutorial actions taken against them for criminal malfeasance and murder, and one only need to look closely at the western history of policing as a modern construct having evolved from being created as a  security force that was not allied with the state, to a state-sanctioned  law enforcement apparat,  whose only real function  is to guard the centers of commerce from theft and malfeasance, and  to protect land owners and public property  against  trespass and  vandalization by the enemies of the state: the public. 

As law enforcement agencies globally are  an extension of the courts in every country in which  they exist, the courts themselves are allied with what used to be known as the affluent merchant class.  In the 21st century, there is the continued  relationship of  Corporate corruption  between the courts  and  the 1% via purchased politicians. The claims of  service to the public safety as their primary duty by many in this partition is absolute fiction. Britain, France , Germany, and nearly all of Europe have police forces that are  structured akin  to military organizations and function similarly as law enforcement militias in authoritarian regimes such as Iran and China.  (The only western countries that have yet to militarize their law enforcement is Australia , who normally move in lockstep with the U.S. on many similar policies , and New Zealand, whom, in 2020 had opportunity to militarize their police forces but inevitably declined.)  

As such, the Corporate/ Donor class partition can direct The Law Enforcement/ Para-military partition to adjust its scope of operations by increase of incarceration, and expand the allowance of  lethal force (murder)  to maintain control of the masses and to silence dissent permanently. Many in this partition worldwide are actively engaged in unwarranted violations of human rights and sanctioned murder as it stands it would not take great effort for these partitions to coordinate into intercontinental  death squads quietly executing such a covert oppression doctorate on an unsuspecting proletariat.

Climate change and its continued politicization and censorship by NGOs will do much to aid in crushing human dissent alongside life. Despite the best efforts of scientific community to neutrally  and accurately report on climate impacts on human existence, it is organizations who have  a vested interest in maintaining their stature within the Corporate/ Donor partition and governments who will continue  to weaponize distortions of science to its personal benefit. The exact nature of  human industrial activity places the primary offenders -  70%  of  the earths carbon footprinting, coming from the the partition itself. Another partition member, the fossil fuel industry, enjoys record-breaking subsidies on oil and coal extraction globally, all the while,  a fellow partition member, corporate agriculture and food processing, is successfully pushing back against all attempts at meaningful regulation of their excessive methane output. It is obvious why this area is of  grave concern for them, as they are the group responsible for a larger part of human pollution and environmental damage, and since 1970 , the partition has engaged in a full-throated campaign of misdirection by enlisting  and manipulating the publics participation in environmental stewardship by making the public the primary scapegoat of this damage. What started with  an Italian actor from Brooklyn dressed in surreptitious stereotypical Native American  regalia in a public service ad, has now became a full-throated mammoth theatrical production the partition sponsors and produces every year in different cities. A narrative- controlling road show, replete with lofty unattainable and  unrealistic goals, illusory themes  of environmental  advancements and new , imaginative adjectives to describe its ongoing progress and programs. 

Circus and bread for the pseudo-progressive class, and the largest act of placation on the world stage, and for proletariat consumption.

At the killing stage, the  billionaire members of the partition do not want to have to share quarters on any level with a impoverished  population now dying of  from the effects  of accelerated climate change brought on primarily of and by their own activity. The global south, after decades of military adventurism be visited upon them primarily by the US Military Industrial Complex, will most likely to be extinguished  first under the  WEF members Malthusian  construct of lowering the population to contravene any ethical return of wealth and resources the Corporate/ Donor class partition has stolen. This will require further assassinations and coups ( similar to  what  French Prime Minister Macron is embarking on in Niger at the time of this writing), and greater authoritarian  control of materials and natural resources ( such as lithium, titanium and cobalt) coveted by this partition.

While censorship, restriction of free movement through quasi-surveillance techniques and technologies, and complete control of the earths homo sapiens  are preferred by this partition, they can and will choose the  committing of mass genocide of millions if deemed necessary to preserve their Kingdoms of Capital and Resources. As of right now,  they tirelessly work towards the goal of an  ultra- global hegemony. The existence of nations will be reduced to nothing more than meaningless nomenclature on a map, having as much substantive weight as political 'parties'. The partition isn't interested in preservation of national sovereignty (which was originally invented by the expansion of capitalist trade, post-original monarchial rule), or rule of law. The partition has no interest in humanity, and barely recognizes it as a  viable living organism worthy of saving , although they are biological human themselves.  we the proletariat are  a nuisance to be dealt with, fodder for their wars, and expendable like used shoes.

And we are helping them to end us, for the completion of their 'happy ending':  the retention of all the wealth and power, and the dispatching of all of us who are simply taking up their valuable space.

We are in the stupor of awe, captivated by our captors,  worshipping their wealth and unbridled omnipotence ,  little are we aware that we idolize the very partition who will have us all murdered , in those silos of our own making, and we will be the ones whom assist with the pulling of the trigger while they steady the gun to our head. 

We comply to the divisions they manufacture and we consume. We know something is very  wrong  but do nothing to organize as a species against it. We continue to excel in the  mental masturbation of distraction, whilst in the global south millions of human beings are being destroyed and displaced for the North's continued extraction, not understanding that, now, the western consumer themselves is next in line for the guillotine....

In cold silence of our demise, there will seemingly be nary a whisper that will carry in the droll vacuums of capitalism's death machine: in the fields of blood , ash, and rubble we will be nothing more than  a currency, spent.
