REAL NEWS? I THINK NOT.

Yes, there are a lot of nutters out there who share conspiracy theories like god created the world, the bible was written thousands of years ago, Jesus was the son of god, and ....... oh, sorry - that's Catholicism but then ..... no, I'll save that for a Religious Curmudgeon post.

We've had a spate of anti-vaccine stickering with some idiot sneaking around late at night and putting little stickers in the public toilets and on playground equipment. The message is that Covid-19 is a hoax and that the vaccine will kill you. Oh, it also hints that it's a government plan to take away an individual's freedom.

If it wasn't so dangerous this would be funny but the people behind this nonsense are targeting those who might be a bit dim or who don't properly read and listen to responsible media, instead, getting information from Facebook, social media and propaganda posters.

Today I found a 47 page booklet in my mailbox which must have been dropped in yesterday or overnight. I wish that I'd seen who did this as they would have got a nice big clod of garden earth on their bonce.

This disgusting publication is USA generated but edited by some New Zealand idiots in Point Chevalier Auckland. As you can see by the contents page all of the articles are created to scare people from being vaccinated against Covid-19. Examples are:

• Fauci knew - the vaccine is a bioweapon.
• Vaccine anomalies - many vaccinated people are becoming MAGNETISED.
• Dr Peter McCullough- Covid vaccines have already killed 50,000 Americans.
• etc.

I find this kind of stuff reprehensible, especially when wrapped up in a reasonably sophisticated publication that, to those who aren't as sceptical as I am might seem to be real discussions and advice from medical professionals.

This thing is going straight into the fireplace.

The publication has the NZ website listed - www.therealnews.nz and I had a look. Earlier publications of this trash have been on line but issue#3 has been printed. The home page of the site had this as a statement:

The Real News has happened thanks to the hard work and generosity of many people who have donated money and volunteered their time to help in many ways.

The printing and distribution of Issue 1, 2 and 3 of The Real News has been funded by donations and we would like to express our appreciation to the members of the executive of Advance New Zealand who sent out emails to the party’s email list to raise funds for the printing and distribution of this issue. Advance New Zealand invited their members to support the launch of this new publication via the donation portal on Advance New Zealand’s website and also invited members and supporters to get in touch if they were interested in helping with mailbox drops in their area.

For the record, The Real News is published by an independent publishing company and the editors are not members of Advance New Zealand (nor are we members of any other political party).

We welcome collaboration with other groups who share our goals of independent inquiry, freedom of thought and conscience and freedom of choice in relation to medical tests and treatments.

This sounds like a lot of claptrap from Advance New Zealand trying to distance themselves in case of backlash but fully supporting the garbage.

This from Wikipedia about Advance New Zealand:

The Advance New Zealand Party is a political party in New Zealand founded in 2020 by Jamie-Lee Ross. The idea was first unveiled in a newsletter from Ross released in April 2020. He has claimed that the party is a centrist and anti-corruption movement designed to appeal to voters "in the middle"; however, their main policies represent the political fringe rather than centre.

Ross had been a member of the centre-right New Zealand National Party until a public spat with leader  Simon Bridges during which he accused Bridges of corruption. Ross has since been accused of sexual harassment and bullying, and has been investigated for corruption himself.

In July 2020, Advance entered into an agreement with Billy Te Kahika's New Zealand Public Party, a  conspiracy theory party that spread misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic on its Facebook page.

Advance did not win any seats in the 2020 New Zealand general election. Te Kahika and the Public Party split from Advance shortly afterwards. On 16 July 2021, the party issued a statement announcing that it would deregister.

That Jamie-Lee Ross is a real shit and unfortunately he hasn't gone away and has found a way of getting in to the minds of a lot of stupid people.

Well, you got your wish.
