Barry Called Her A “Black Bitch!”
By NZB3
Evidently Dunedin City is not free of the Social Crisis that is literally unraveling the Western World right now. Of course not. We don’t talk about fixing bridges or saving lives or curing disease or winning wars these days- It’s all about the battle for Rightful Conduct. Dunedin City Council Deputy Mayor Sophie Barker (who […]

“There was no compulsory vaccination”
By NZB3
“There was no compulsory vaccination, people made their own choices,” said Prime Minister Chris Hipkins (again) this week. Ref. Rumble This sparked fury and has been repeated all over the alternative media but not, of course, in the mainstream media. Why would he “poke the bear” like that in the election campaign? These words have […]

1995: John Britten
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in history, 5 September, 1995, the death of John Britten. The outside-the-box Hippy-Boomer Cantabrian was born out of a crucible of an unhappy family. He was guided by his West Coast Uncles, bankrolled by his wealthy mother, and motivated by his father’s shame. Workoholic and ‘active relaxer’, John funneled his immense creativity though a […]

That Wasn’t Real Communism
By NZB3
Communists keep defending their faith by saying “that wasn’t real Communism.” Even preemptively, sometimes. Always, they think their own Communism is real and true and will work no matter how many times they are confronted by the deadly and failed attempts in the past. I understand now that it’s their Hobbesian view of human nature […]

1960s: Richard Scarry’s New Zealand
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Richard Scarry’s (1919-1994) books were the stuff of what Generation X children grew up with in New Zealand. Anthropomorphic animals heavily populated busy towns full of activities, buildings, workplaces, and vehicles. The books depict Western Civilisation during a booming culture phase of full employment and a bustling economy. Christmas. Nuclear families. Cooperation. Wealth. Cowboys and […]

1950: Christchurch International Airport
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Christchurch Airport became New Zealand’s “first” international airport officially on 18 December, 1950¹. This was handy timing for Canterbury’s 100th year and the Centennial Games ( 26 December 1950 to 3 January 1951.) The Cantabrians welcomed international athletes. Our very own one-off version of the Olympics or Commonwealth Games and the precursor to the 1974 Olympics […]

1992: NZBS
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Sometimes you might wish there were just one wretched source for the trouble New Zealand is in. Not just the imps and monsters, jokers and liars, spinners and deceivers but the dragon’s cave they hatch out of in the first place. Blow it up. Burn it down! Smash their cathedrals, confiscate their microphones and storyboards. […]

The List/Pass
By NZB3
What in the Western World is going on here? To new-release movies just hit my alerts list within as many days. They appear to be the same film but in each case feature the two different favorite demographics: The Black Man and the White Woman. I haven’t seen anything this devious since Black Man and […]

Marc Barnes’ Retardation Religion
By NZB3
My best philosophical revelations are frequently revealed by observing people who went the other way. Some of my oldest and most carefully thought out Core Beliefs don’t even register with me until I trace back someone’s behavior to the fact that their own Core Beliefs are totally opposed to mine. For example, as an Anarchist, […]
