In a Substack article, Paul Collits discussed how the pro-Ardern media are, predictably, dealing with her retirement claiming she will need ongoing security because of trolling by right-wing nut jobs. She will need permanent security protection! If only all the Kiwis she screwed over had had some security protection against her.
"Jacinda Ardern is likely to require an unprecedented level of security for a former New Zealand prime minister given the extent of the abuse and threats she faced while in office.
The vitriol is, quite frankly, off the charts,” said Paul Buchanan, a former intelligence and defence policy analyst who was a consultant to US security agencies. “The threats to her will not go away simply because she steps down. Some of these people are capable of taking violent action against her.”
Ardern was found to have faced between 50 and 90 times more online vitriol than any of the others. She was mentioned in more than 18,000 posts, with 5438 classified as strongly negative, angry, sexually explicit or toxic. The research also found the abusive messages increased in the second half of last year."
Gosh. Off the charts. Toxic. This all smells like carefully constructed narrative building to me. Just like the narrative created earlier by those who depicted Ardern as “the empathetic leader”. Because she donned a scarf and comforted Christchurch Muslims after their awful shootings. Some might well have regarded her Christchurch play as a carefully crafted pitch. Narrative construction.
Within moments of her tearful resignation in Napier the other week, my former fellow Napierians organised a pointed demo against her. God bless them.
The Kiwis are pretty worked up over
Ms Ardern, with good reason. What she did to her fellow countrymen
doesn’t bear close examination. And not just in relation to Covid.
Just like one of her mentors and fellow revolutionary, Tony Blair, she
has been setting out to create a legacy that no future New Zealand
government can overturn. The aggressive and radical Maori (apartheid)
play is just one example. This will change New Zealand forever. Then
there is her sell-out to the Chinese. The Three Waters calamity. The
crushing of education. The green push. The abortion and euthanasia
push. Her support for the World Health Organisation’s diabolical new
pandemic treaty. Changing New Zealand’s name. The out-of-control
government spending. Why on earth would there be anger in the Shaky
Isles, I wonder?...<<<Read More>>>...
