Al Noor Mosque
By NZB3
Trying to get my head around the Ground Zero for this month’s terror attack in Christchurch. This happened at Al Noor Mosque which I translate to Mosque of The Light. Built by MAC (Muslim Association of Canterbury) in 1985 and for 15 years the most southern mosque in the world. The Muslim community in Canterbury […]

Police Pursuit Policy
By NZB3
A small note on the policy of NZ Police cars hunting down runaways and smashing into them like Mad Max. In a single year, 2016… “New Zealand, which has a population of roughly the same size [as QLD,] saw 3323 police pursuits, resulting in seven deaths.” Well, you can’t say that Mad Max skill set […]

The Coward Of Christchurch?
By NZB3
John Black of Right Minds is doing it too. On the mark when it comes to identifying the collectivism of dehumanising at the core of the Christchurch shooting. Utterly wrong to call him a coward. The Coward Of Christchurch: Where The Right Goes Wrong Tarrant was not a coward. I don’t see how it helps our […]

NZB3 Reboot
By NZB3
The NZB3 (New Zealand: Be Free; Get it?) blog and podcast was my voice on the internet back in 2006 when I was a bit younger and a libertarian. Bits of it are still online here on Blogger. It was the Golden Age of blogging before the social media giants like Facebook and Twitter or […]

1934: George Bernard Shaw Visit
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in history, March 15th, 1934, celebrity playwright George Bernard Shaw toured New Zealand. A great writer and great wit, it was he who rightly said “a government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always rely on the support of Paul.” and “If you aren’t a socialist as a teenager you have no heart, and […]

Gun Banning: Vanity before History
By NZB3
New Zealand is on a transition from mainstream Victimhood Culture to mainstream Slave Culture because SC will expand to outstrip the supply of free stuff VC gives away; Like mice in a grain silo. The next transition after that is Honour Culture coming in and kicking the Slave Culture mice around without remorse. Same thing […]

1933: Pranking the Authoritarians
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
October 1933: It’s just a joke! From an era of rising tension and new seriousness culminating in global warfare. The mainstream culture had become overbearing to many of the lighter-hearted Kiwi larrikins who wanted their intense co-worker or uncle to chill out a bit. More and more, New Zealand’s mainsteam was filling up with authoritarian do-as-you’re-told […]

2020s: Dignity Culture Rising
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Social history right now! Rob Stock is triggered so badly by Marie Kondo, that he goes on an Abe Simpson-esque spiel about minimalism, house prices and frugality. Apparently she’s promoting an extreme lifestyle! Watched some of this Japanese Netflix sensation today. Basically white people are learning/re-learning about how to tidy up after themselves. And who […]

Why Vaccination Should Never Be Made Compulsory
By VJM
25 people have been infected by a measles outbreak in Canterbury, and one could predict from the degree of anti-anti-vaccination hysteria that there will soon be a social movement to make vaccination compulsory. Many people are calling for it, and the rhetoric demonising the anti-vaxxers is growing. This essay discusses why compulsory vaccination is the […]

Did Cannabis Prohibition Doom Humanity to Extinction?
By VJM
Were the hippies right all along? The counter-culture that arose in response to the Cold War championed many things that made them hated: free love, a return to Nature, a rejection of materialism – and cannabis. This essay examines the possibility that we would have survived if only we had listened, and that cannabis prohibition […]

1947: Socialised Dentistry for Kids
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
From Feb 1 1947, Labour 1.0 socialised dentistry for everyone up to the age of 16. Called the Adolescent Dental Service then, I think it’s now termed the General Dental Benefits Scheme. Later the age was shifted to 18yo. I assume this was a socialist election promise to help Labour 1.0 stay in power beyond […]
