2004: Safe Communities Foundation
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
The United Nations, specifically the World Health Organisation, has been slowly enveloping New Zealand at the Local Government level for the past 20 years. How so? Check out this amazing example of ‘narrative capture’…. “Waimakariri District has been an accredited Safe Community since 1999”. – The Community is in Safe Hands, Waimakariri.govt.nz “After considerable effort, Ashburton has been officially […]

53 Days: Muller the Plumber
By NZB3
Don’t think I ever said this on record but I’ve always considered Todd Muller to be a Stalking Horse for the true next leader of the National Party. Just a Kiwifruit Crapitalist…not even sure what he’s doing being an MP in the first place. Seems more like a plumber who shows up in blue over-alls, […]

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

Collectivist Appropriation
By NZB3
From a Collectivist point of view (which the mainstream currently holds) what happens to one happens to all. So ‘we’ all went through these things, as the Prime Minister has it.. “Over the last 15 months, we have been through a lot together – a terrorist attack, a volcanic eruption, a global pandemic and now […]

Paper Kiwis
By NZB3
The Clutha-Southland electorate (previously Wallace electorate) in Southland used to be a National Party rock. From 1957 to 2014 it was in the hands to two men who were just about identical: Brian Talboys and Bill English. After 2014 things got weird as the sober straight men were traded in for wonky Millennial mavericks. The first […]

1840: Comte de Paris
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Tonight in history, 11 July, 1840, the Comte de Paris was struck by lightning off the coast of Tasmania. She almost capsized and after all those months at sea the French colonists might have all drowned so close to their final destination: New Zealand.

NPC Listening
By NZB3
This is roughly true of what a Blue Pilled person means when they refer to listening: “Listening: Agreeing completely without argument.” They think everyone’s a Lefty but some of us wander off the reservation and need to be guided back. So they (benevolently) shine a beacon by reciting a few mantras in the prescribed tones. […]

1971: Tiwai Point
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter is a Government programme of National 2.0. So is the Manapouri hydrodam powering it. The dam was built by low-paid, slack, alcoholic, itinerant workers from overseas (eg. Tim Shadbolt and his brother.) That way New Zealanders would not have to be paid market rates to be employed in their own country according […]

2002: The Governor’s Stolen Diary
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Dormant diaries will appear sometimes, erupting like volcanoes to shake up or even replace what we thought was New Zealand’s history. The revelation of in Edward VIII’s mistress’s diaries in 1996 were a minor tremor. On the other hand, the diary of Ensign Best, discovered in 1955, represented an earthquake in our understanding of the […]

1847: The Colonial Bank of Issue
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Back in 1847, Governor George Grey’s Government got its fingers into the business of banking. Grey created something called The Colonial Bank of Issue which was a colonial version of the latest State bank we have: Kiwi Bank (est 2001.)
