Hypocrisy - Exhibit A


Over the last decade the West's long and successful relationship with rationality, empiricism, objectivity and individuality has been abandoned in favor of emotionalism, relativism, subjectivity and the triumph of tribal identity. We are on a headlong descent into a post modernist world where nothing is fixed, everything is relative and empiricism is dead. This blog is a small attempt to point out those groups who seek to advance their own causes in the midst of this chaos with pseudo-science, self-referential theories and epistemological fallacies. Advance your cause by all means but anchor it in evidence and logic not subjectivity and relativism. Like the Emperor blinded by his ego to the obsequious merchants and their "new robes," it takes individuals to speak up and call out what deep down we all know: "the emperor has no clothes."

The Elimination ‘Strategy’ = a Bullet to the Stomach for NZ

UPDATE: This article has now had over 126K views - that's roughly 2.5% of the entire country - a huge achievement. Please keep sharing this article and the other articles on this blog, particularly my latest article explaining how the government ignored data that demonstrated we did not need to lock down. I earn nothing from these articles and I am not affiliated to any political party or organisation. I am however deeply opposed to any government that cynically exploits a crisis and the public's panic to enact decisions that destroy lives and livelihoods and advance their own ideologically driven agendas.    As of Monday 27th April 6pm this article hit 102,00 views. That's 40,000 additional views in 24 hours.  It's also 19,000 more than the petition #closeNZ ( https://bit.ly/2KEe4x2)  that led to the government's panicked decision to implement the lock down in the first place - without any understanding of the economic or long term health consequences or

$21 billion: we have lost all sense proportion with Covid-19 and it’s hurting us

New Zealand just recorded a further four Corona virus deaths. That bring the total to nine (as of 14 April 2020): Woman, aged 70’s with an underlying health condition. Female, aged 90’s with an underlying health condition. Male, aged 80’s with an underlying health condition(s). Male, aged 70’s with an underlying health condition(s). Male, aged 80’s with an underlying health condition(s). Male, aged 90’s with an underlying health condition(s). Male, aged 80’s with an underlying health condition(s). Male, aged 90’s with an underlying health condition(s). Male, aged 70’s with an underlying health condition(s). Interestingly, for all individuals from 3 onwards I had burrow into the Ministry of Health’s briefings to determine that all had underlying health conditions, the mainstream media failed to report that key fact.   The death of any individual is clearly tragic – everyone is someone else’ mother / father / sister / brother and their loved o

The government ignored experts & data opposing a lock down

Data and basic maths prove Arden and Bloomfield were wrong to lock down New Zealand. UPDATE: This post has now had over 20,000 views. PLEASE share on FaceBook, Twitter etc with as many people as possible. We need to call out the fact that this government has wrecked our country and economy by completely over-reacting and ignoring data that didn't fit with their narrative.   Thank you,  Alex Davis. On March 17 th     eight days before New Zealand entered lock down Professor John Ioannidis, one of the world’s most cited medical researchers published an article warning that the world was rushing into a series of panic stricken responses to Covid-19 on the basis of data that was “ utterly unreliable .” Time is now proving Professor Ioannidis correct. There has been an endless sea of New Zealand “experts” on Covid-19 so it is worth establishing Professor Ioannidis’ credentials for the simple reason that he stands head and shoulders above those the New Zealand go
