1994: Ivomec Music
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Ivomec is a long-standing product in New Zealand for treating “parasitic infestations with a well-established, broad-spectrum action.” And maybe more. Back in 1994 they gave us this ad campaign based on an earlier spoof of a musical fence in Country Calendar. This video is mentioned on NZ on Screen and Te Ara but they don’t […]

1918: Uncle Scrim’s Pandemic
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
‘Imagine, if you will, a vaccine so safe you have to be threatened to take it. For a disease so deadly you have to be tested to know you have it.’ We live in strange days indeed! The New Zealanders who faced the Influenza Pandemic of 1918 no such propaganda was required. They were quite […]

Vaccine Risk Premium
By NZB3
The mainstream now admit that both COVID and the vaccine kill people. They had to because somebody all too obviously died. So now it’s just a matter of numbers. Like driving on our roads. Or, proximity to rivers and beaches. If we allow it to happen then some of us are going to die. Make […]

The Tarkin Effect
By NZB3
I think it’s more of a quadratic relationship not a linear one. But it certainly has a positive gradient. That’s very bad news for Australian and NZ governments who thought, actually thought, the slope was negative. Sorry about that morons. Post syndicated from http://NZB3.anarkiwi.co.nz/2021/08/29/the-tarkin-effect/.

Nobody Ever Expectorates: The Spanish Inquisition
By NZB3
Saliva testing for viral content has been banned by order of the Executive Government. Ref. ‘Covid-19 Public Health Response (Point-of-care Tests) order 2021’ Why? All we need to do is expectorate. To be tested, join a long queue that ends with a painful extraction stick up your nose where vomit buckets are on hand and […]

Only Maoris Can Fish
By NZB3
No scruples of the apartheid agenda will stand in its way. Even during Level 4 when everyone is locked down there is an exception for people of a certain race… “Fishing and whitebaiting” “At Alert Level 4, recreational fishing and whitebaiting is not allowed, except for Māori customary fishing and food gathering.” – covid19.govt.nz What […]

1859: New Zealand’s Carrington Event
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Our sun is one big explosion which would engulf us all in a fiery death were it not held back by its own mass. One day, in the far future, enough matter will have burned off so the sun’s gravity will not be able to restrain the blast from turning our planet to cinders. It’s […]

1942: Coming and Going
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
New Zealand’s World War 2 record by mid-1942 wasn’t anything to crow about. We had declared war on things, sent men on long boat rides, and helped Stalin steal a sailing ship. Our efforts in the Mediterranean had so far been a bitter reminder of the abject failure and death of Gallipoli in the first […]

2000: Closing the Gaps
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
On 15 June, 2000, Labour 5.0 Minister of Finance Michael Cullen officially announced a cornerstone policy of his government called ‘Closing the Gaps’. Prime Minister Helen Clark had made it very clear that Closing The Gaps referred a race-based gap between Maoris and “others” in the Speech From The Throne she authored (Dec 1999.) By […]

1971: Kentucky Fried Chicken
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
Today in history, 20 August, 1971, the first Kentucky Fried Chicken came to New Zealand. It was in Auckland, of course. During the mid-2010s the name was shortened to KFC in reaction to the temporary notion that ‘fried’ was an unhealthy preparation method. In the last year or so I’ve noticed the branding change back […]

1895: Our Execution Of Minnie Dean
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
At 3am, 12 August 1895, Minnie Dean was killed by The State on a wave of moral panic. New Zealand’s mainstream was at such a point as to be deeply agitated and out for scapegoats. Foster mothers such as Dean were the Oranga Tamariki of their day. Then, as now, there were fatalities and abuse. […]

2009: Harry Brown
By Anarchist History of New Zealand
The film Harry Brown (2009) was not as poignant as Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino (2008) but perhaps a better illustration of inter-generational the politics that Anarchist History of New Zealand must explore. Both films are Realist Authurian films showing the Return of the King, back to set the world right (Realist because the King is […]
