Period of Sustained Propaganda

By NZB3

In the minds of many, Left or Right, ‘propaganda’ is all there is. There is no truth, there is no honesty, there is no debate, there is no meeting of minds, no persuasion, there are no relationships.   There is only control. Pressure. Dictation. Mind hacks. Tricks. Dominance hierarchy games. “We drum in that messaging […]

1946: Jayforce

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

On 19 March, 1946, 75 Years ago, New Zealand joined the feast of Japan, the mighty whale felled on our Pacific rim by nuclear harpoon. The main body of the force joined the occupation on this day as ‘Jayforce.’ Thousands of young single male New Zealanders lounged around in Japan generally snooping on the citizens […]

1915: Canakkale Victory and Martyrs’ Day

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

18 March, 1915, is remembered by the Turks as Canakkale Victory and Martyrs’ Day. It’s the day they engaged the enemy (us) in an ultimately successful defense against the invasion of their country. They’re remembering the beginning of their great success and great loss. It’s the Turk version of our ANZAC Day. “March 18 is […]

“Thinking through Whakapapa”

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

By Thor’s Hammer! If Anglo Saxons must turn away from the Enlightenment might we at least have our own, better, Pagan Druidic, lore and conceits back? If we must ditch history and science why should it be for a Maori Academic one? Let’s have back King Arthur, Merlin, Robin Hood, The Green Man, Hern of […]

1806: Te Pahi’s Medal

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

Communist Pigs

By NZB3

Under Labour 6.0 Communist Chinese Pork doesn’t need to be labled as such. Worse, it can be given a token adjustment like marinate or infused with a bit of moisture and labelled as New Zealand product. Now listen as Minister for Agg. Damien O’Connor defends this. Does he admit there’s some kind of sweetheart deal […]

1919: Bulford Kiwi

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

Today in history, 15 March, 1919, the Great Wrong War was over but our men sent to die for it were penned up in South-West England like sheep. So, today, they rioted. A military prison, really. No way home to New Zealand and no opportunity to leave the camp to see the Old Country they […]

Meet Your New Replacement, Son

By NZB3

Supermarkets, fast food, The Warehouse, and K-Mart, have all been replacing humans with robots at the check-outs. It’s a reaction to artificial demands for increased wages, for a Minimum Wage currently branded as “a living wage.” It’s not that capital/technology replacing labour jobs is a bad thing. It’s wonderful that machines should do more grunt […]

Jack, Are You Gonna Get Vaccinated?

By NZB3

Labour, you’ve come a long way from your working class roots in Blackball. Labour 1.0 was composed of low-skilled and minimally-educated union officials but they put a high premium on acting smart. Their publicity said that they were very well read and perhaps the really were. They championed the working man. The hard-had wearing folk […]

Jacinda and her Cabinet

By NZB3

If Auckland’s Alert Level decision was made days ago by Cabinet then why must we wait until noon on Friday? It’s a riddle posed by Judith Collins and Chris Bishop of National but they already know the answer. The answer is that  Ardern pretends not to be an autocrat who makes Government decisions from the […]

1845: The Sacking of Russell

By Anarchist History of New Zealand

Today in history, 11 March, 1845, Russell (aka Kororareka) was destroyed. Sacked by Maoris then bombarded to pieces by The State! Both sides looted what remained. The Government first came to this principal settlement in 1840 to overthrow it. Lieutenant-Governor Hobson established his domination over the New Zealanders here, making it his capital, then The […]
