The elite consensus is under siege.
A week of revelations exposing lies and obfuscations here and overseas has removed a few key bricks in the progressive wall.
First the hitherto esteemed British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) stands accused of doctoring a significant clip featuring POTUS Trump. Next, its bias on issues of gender, Gaza and race were revealed, earning it the moniker of British Brainwashing Corporation.
That same week, in New Zealand, a cadre of top police were found to have protected a sexual deviant and prosecuted the victim. The motivation appears to have been to ensure the deviant was promoted to the role of Commissioner because he shared the views of the elite, views broadly described as ‘progressive.’ As omerta’s go, this one was especially egregious.
In a previous post I noted that perhaps the only good thing about the trans cluster is that it has propelled some of us out of the Matrix. We begin to see, dimly and slowly at first, and then all of a sudden, how much our view of reality has been shaped by the media, either by omission or suggestion.
As a result I have not accepted mainstream media’s reporting on Trump, Gaza, gender, climate change and race at face value for years now. It’s become obvious to me that media has been determined to promote a singular viewpoint in each of those topics - whether it be ‘genocide’ by Israel, the evils of Trump, the calamity of climate change, the stunning, brave trans people assailed by cruel identity-denying harpies, and, in New Zealand, a fawning reverence for all things Maori.
The BBC’s failings have been exposed. Whether they now are willing and able to alter their perspective and thus coverage of contentious issues remains to be seen. The trouble with the progressive world view is that it can only thrive if truth is denied. In other words, it requires a lie. Or many lies. Facts that do not fit the narrative are ignored, attacked (ad hominem attacks are a favourite tactic, as is gaslighting) or slanted to fit. Eventually, but not always, the lies catch up with you, as they have with the Beeb and the New Zealand police.
Both confessional moments have significance for New Zealand. Straight away TVOne presenter Simon Dallow read out a statement on behalf of TVNZ which exonerated them of doctoring Trump’s speech. Lucky for them, TVNZ did not air the offending BBC clip at the time. I suppose some people found this convincing and technically it may have been true. But TVNZ, like most mainstream media, have cast Trump as satan and have done their best to ensure their coverage reflects this.
In fact, all local mainstream media are guilty of the same failings as the BBC and should be reflecting on their own performance when it comes to the highlighted faults. This will not be easy. People rarely welcome criticism, much less willingness to alter their point of view.
Which is why I’ve written to the editor of the New Zealand Herald to offer my services. As a veteran journalist I have offered to cover stories they have largely ignored in the sex and gender arena. For instance, they have yet to seriously cover:
the scandal of the WPATH files
the risks associated with puberty blockers
New Zealand’s high rate of puberty blocker prescriptions
the dangers inherent in gender-affirming care
the plight of parents with trans-identifying children
de-transitioners
If the Herald would rather put a staffer on this issue, fine. I’ve assured the editor I am happy to assist.
As for the New Zealand Police, it’s time to look again at their failure to protect a small group of mainly older women from a large group of rioting trans-activists. The IPCA report was wholly unsatisfactory. The finding was pitiful. Here it is:
"Our initial risk assessment could have been better. We also accept that our response on the day when protestors surrounded the rotunda was inadequate."
While they are looking into how top brass could have colluded to protect a sexual deviant, now might be a good time to re-examine police capture by gender ideology. It might be a good time to ask why the New Zealand Police’s website hosts a document titled “Anti-Transgender Extremism,” funded by government grants, which labels critics of transgender ideology (people who prefer reality and science to quasi-religion) as “genocidal,” “fascist,” and “Nazi”. Why do they host a document produced by Gender Minorities Aotearoa, a gender ideological charity receiving substantial taxpayer funding? Isn’t this an example of institutional bias?
Now may also be a good time to question the purpose and indeed justification for their Rainbow 101 online training module supported by Diversity Liaison Officers and internal inclusion leads. How much influence did these people, especially the male senior sergeant cosplaying as female, Rhona Stace, have on their dereliction of duty at Albert Park in 2023?
Naturally, I put these questions to them at the time and got a simple answer to every single one: NO.
In her latest column journalist Fran O’Sullivan reminded us that at the time police showed little interest in finding the man who punched a 72-year-old woman in the face during the Kellie-Jay Keen riot. Not until a social media campaign was launched by Auckland hospitality boss, Leo Molloy, was the offender eventually identified to face charges. Molloy did the police’s job.
Worse, in a brazen display of DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender ), soon after the Albert Park shocker, police reached out to the perpetrators. Not the victims, the sex realist women who were mobbed and mugged, but the community which fostered the perpetrators.
On April 10 police publicly urged the rainbow community (and the general public) to report threats and violence. According to their dismal sources (the widely discredited Disinformation Project), there had been a spike in online ‘anti-trans hate linked to the rally,’ imported from Australian far right networks.
Police should have called in the women who were actually harmed, who witnessed first-hand the fury on the faces of the protestors, and saw Kellie-Jay Keen almost dragged underfoot by crazed trans-activists, none of this rage imported, instead fuelled by local politicians. But, of course, that never happened.
Since then the progressive agenda has not abated. Just a few months ago (August), Stace gave a presentation on “Rainbow relationships with NZ Police” at a CARN conference. CARN stands for Cross Agency Rainbow Network. Given the Rainbow Network’s embrace of a quasi-religious, non-evidence-based belief system regarding gender, this amounts to ideological capture. There should be no place in the police force for this sort of bias.
NZ Police might want to review their previous intransigence. If they truly wish to regain the trust of the New Zealand public, sorely tested by the latest revelations, now might be a good time to clean out the progressive rot in the force. It’s called the police force for a reason. Why not use that power to erase all traces of the infantilising, dishonest rainbow, diversity and equity agenda? The notion of policing by consent advocated by Commissioner Coster always sounded embarrassingly like the police had been taken over by HR or a team of social workers. Drug dealers, gangs and psychopaths are hardly likely to consent to behaving better, no matter how nicely they are asked.
Same with mainstream media. Media desperately need to return to their mission of seeking the truth, not pumping out stories that fit an ideological agenda.
Alas I’m not wildly optimistic. Nor do I expect the NZ Herald to reply to my kind and generous offer. I’m not that naive.
But one day reality will bite. Until then, the problem with this continued omerta on the transgender agenda, is that most people are unaware of exactly how the media is failing them. Most are still in the Matrix or, suspecting that all is not well, have disengaged from news altogether. And all power to them. What you see when you leave the Matrix isn’t exactly pretty.
