Here we see the racist two-faced Trudeau in his cottage—a place where he retreats from problems and smokes weed. However, his nightmares don’t go away and his adversaries have set Trudeau’s head spinning. Many Americans [or NZers —Eds] might not know what’s going on here—not exactly, but Canadians will know and this cartoon is for them.

As those who have lived here know, the KCDC’s proposal to install domestic water meters throughout the district circa 2013 was hugely controversial and as long-time readers of WW know, Eva and I have been fierce opponents of them. In fact it was the main issue that prompted me to stand for the council in the 2015 Waikanae by-election. Particularly crazy in my view was the decision to waste over $22 million combined on both the water meters and the “recharge” system at the water treatment plant, when the same amount of money could have been used to build a water reservoir on a tributary of the Waikanae River, for which the council actually bought the land.
In the last few days the Wellington City Council seems to have adopted this meter way of thinking with reports that Mayor Tory ‘Tipsy’ Whanau is saying they have “a commitment to water meters as one of the tools to conserve water.”
But do they actually do that? As we have said for 9 years now, big users and potential wasters of water — such as people used to having half-hour showers rather than 5-8 minutes — may be deterred by cost, but the charges need to be high. From what we gather from our editorial group the typical water bill for a 2-person house in Kapiti is about $100 a quarter, and we can say that in our case our water use habits have not changed since they were installed — except that we put in 2 x 800 litre storage tanks from the spouting with which to water the garden in summer with non-chlorinated water (which plants much prefer). The rest of the year normal rainfall does that more than adequately.
Unlike Kapiti, Wellington has reservoirs for water supply in case of drought — so what happens to the water that people conserve in Kapiti? Does it stay in council water storage? Of course not, it flows straight down the Waikanae River and out into the Tasman Sea. None gets stored by KCDC.
So did the water meters serve any useful purpose? Well, they did help to identify pipes that were leaking, most of them in council property, and after 10 years, surely it’s now job done? Aren’t the replacement pipes, that KCDC has been digging up roads in that time to install, meant to last 50 years at least?
Media release from Sean Mallon of the KCDC a couple of weeks ago:-
While parts of the Wellington Region are facing water woes, Kapiti Coast residents are enjoying a water-restriction-free summer thanks to sound investment in the district’s water infrastructure and water metering.
Kapiti Council Infrastructure Services Group Manager Sean Mallon says Council supplies safe drinking water to approximately 20,000 connections for household and commercial use, so it is critical that we actively monitor and identify leaks, and continue to invest in maintenance and renewals and projects to increase the resilience of our water supply network.
“The introduction of water meters in 2014, coupled with the Waikanae River Recharge scheme and ongoing investment in the district’s water supply network means we have enough water to manage long dry conditions.
“That being said, we continue to encourage people to use water wisely and to have an emergency water supply on hand should a natural hazard/disaster disrupt our systems. We recommend households have an emergency supply of at least 20 litres of water per person, per day for seven days (140L per person).”
Mr Mallon said Council is continuing to work with Kapiti Coast communities to ensure people in the district have reliable access to clean water, now and in the future.
“Current projects to increase the safety and resilience of the district’s water supply network include the construction of a new water reservoir in Ōtaki and a $22 million upgrade of the Waikanae Water Treatment Plant to increase its earthquake resilience and replace aging equipment.”
“Work is also underway to renew a number of aging pipes across the district and complete upgrades of existing bores.”

It’s been abundantly clear that neo-Marxists both in the Legacy media and outside them hate anyone who preaches equality among people with everyone having the same rights and obligations — no that cannot be! The most important thing about you is the colour of your skin and the darker you are the more you matter! Dark(er) skinned people must dominate everything and everywhere!
Here is a piss-take piece on the Leftist Racists from TheDailyBlog

For any other reason, a vast increase in mortality rates in the countries of the allegedly advanced collective West would be the cause of investigations, probes and immediate action. Yet nothing like this is occurring in response to eminently noticeable rises in excess deaths over the last few years. Instead, what we see is a virtual cover-up, with alarming reporting on this phenomenon mainly coming to light via alternative media sources.
With a few exceptions, Western politicians are not the slightest bit concerned about why their constituents are simply perishing, or suffering life-altering permanent injuries, with disturbing regularity. This is because it can scarcely be denied that the ultimate cause of what can be basically described as a genocide is the rollout, distribution and mass injection of the mRNA Covid vaccines since 2021.
“Pandemic”
Whether or not the SARS-CoV-2 virus exists, and whether or not Covid is a real illness, there was no “pandemic” which supposedly broke out in March 2020. This was not the reason for previously unknown lockdowns, facemask mandates and forced vaccinations – on pain of losing your employment. It was arguably the largest attack on workers and the oppressed in history. Now that the overwhelming evidence of injuries and deaths related to the mandated vaccines is widespread, the banality of evil contained in the administering of a potentially deadly injection under the guise of “public health” exposes itself. In the United Kingdom (UK) a lawsuit of 35 alleged victims of the AstraZeneca Covid vaccine has been lodged against the pharmaceutical giant, which could cost it 80 million pounds if successful.[1] The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) reports that excess deaths in 2022 was among the worst total in 50 years – but of course as the mainstream media it blamed Covid itself, health systems under strain, while denying it could be attributed to Covid vaccines.[2]
Also in the UK, Ed Dowd has shown a clear correlation between the excess mortality for children aged up to 15 years, and the rollout of the Covid vaccines towards the end of 2021. To those who may claim that the excess deaths in children could be attributed to Covid, it should be pointed out that children are an exceptionally low risk of dying from it. Secondly, Dowd showed that excess deaths among UK children were declining until late 2021, when Covid vaccines started being used.[3] In the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, excess deaths set a new record in 2022, with one in every 1000 people passing away, often in an untimely fashion.[4] In the United States of America (US), there was an 84.9% increase in excess deaths between 2019 and 2021.[5] For the first time in living memory, average life expectancy in the US dropped in 2020, and continued to decline in 2021.[6] Usually, average life expectancy at birth steadily increases over time for Western industrialised countries.
In Europe, an exhaustive study titled “Excess mortality in Germany 2020-2022” found that excess deaths in Germany tightly correlated with the mass vaccination for Covid which began there in April 2021.[7] A study of vaccine-associated mortality in the Southern Hemisphere reviewed data from 17 countries (Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Malaysia, New Zealand, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Singapore, South Africa, Suriname, Thailand, Uruguay) which found that ALL of these countries transitioned to a situation of high all-cause mortality, which occurs when Covid-19 vaccines are deployed and administered.[8] In Australia, a handful of politicians from conservative parties have bravely spoken out about the increased mortality rates. United Australia Party Senator Ralph Babet moved a motion to hold an enquiry into the sheer numbers of excess deaths, which was backed by Liberal National Party Senator Gerard Rennick.[9] These rebel MPs (members of parliament) were reacting to astonishing figures. Australia suffered a shocking 5162% increase in excess deaths in the first 38 weeks of 2022 compared to the first 38 weeks of 2020, which was the supposed height of the “pandemic” and prior to a single Covid injection. Moreover, these are figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, i.e., the government’s own data.[10]
Left betrayal
Much more data could be cited – but this is not news to the millions in the West who marched, mobilised and resisted the Covid agenda in any way they were able to do so. As noted by Dr Piers Robinson and Vanessa Beeley, this “Covid resistance”[11] was assumed to have emanated largely from the historically right and conservative sides of politics. This was not necessarily the case, as many in the freedom movement actually saw themselves as left-wing, supporters and/or members of Trade Unions, or anti-war and peace activists. However, it is true that nationalists, conservatives and anti-socialists also joined the freedom movement, and they remain there, where it is still mobilising. Yet this was inevitable as long as what was traditionally known as the left effectively merged with the capitalist state to help enforce lockdowns, vaccine mandates and the entire ensemble of Covid repression. The “lockdown left” comprised three parts: 1. Trade Union officials 2. The liberal intelligentsia and 3. Left parties which swear blind they are one or another branch of “socialism”.[12]
To our knowledge, we of the Workers League were the only left party internationally to reject the Covid agenda in its entirety. We take no pleasure in stating this, as we – along with millions of workers – expected the so-called left to recognise “Covid” as an unprecedented attack on working and oppressed people as part of an attempt to “re-set” global capitalism, and act accordingly. Unfortunately, this did not occur. As far as we know, the only other self-described left parties to even minimally criticise the Covid agenda were the Revolutionary Communist International Tendency (RCIT) and the Spartacist League (SL). However, both the RCIT and the SL accepted the ruling class ideology and propaganda of a “deadly contagious pandemic” at face value. The RCIT did indeed oppose lockdowns, and criticised other left parties for backing them,[13] but they also capitulated to the mainstream media onslaught of manufactured fear of a virus and played their own part in fanning the flames.
The SL imploded in 2020 in response to Covid, but 12 months after the fact came out with a half-hearted position of opposition to Covid lockdowns only.[14] Every other aspect of bourgeois ideology on Covid was swallowed whole by the SL, who went on to advocate that the Unions – rather than the capitalist state – should conduct its own Covid training !![15] The hypocrisy is jaw dropping. For more than five decades the SL has argued, correctly, that the Union bureaucracy has a material interest in inculcating the ideas of the ruling class into “its own” members and workers generally. Now, the SL demands this happen, under the fantastic claim of “public health”. Worst of all, the SL maintained staunch support for vaccine mandates,[16] while claiming that no worker should lose their job over it! Yet this is precisely what a vaccine mandate is: take a potentially deadly shot (or series of shots), or lose the means to feed, clothe and house yourself and your family. It is doubtful that there has ever been a stronger attack on working people – and yet it was heavily endorsed by the SL.
No way back for the Covid left
Doubling and tripling down on extraordinary levels of gullibility, many parties of the lockdown left followed this by falling for the short lived attempt to scare workers with a claimed “Monkeypox pandemic” ![17] Thankfully, even the global elites realised that this fearmongering was just too silly to have much effect, and soon dropped the narrative. The Western ruling classes soon switched to waging a long-prepared proxy war against Russia via the arming of Nazi battalions in Ukraine, and then when this eventually had no chance of succeeding, switched again to trigger a proxy conflict between Israel and Hamas – while continuing to provoke China over Taiwan. At each step, imperialism has mobilised the liberal “woke” left in its interests, and for its projects – even for World War III itself. Needless to say, so called left parties which merged with the capitalist state over Covid, cannot go on to claim that they oppose imperialist wars. The war at home is linked inextricably to the war abroad.
Working people need to grasp that Covid was the class line. This is the basic material reason why questioning of Covid measures in general was suppressed, and it is also the reason why the parties of the lockdown left were virtually unable to discuss or debate Covid with the handful of left activists who could see the inherent problems and murderous intent of the entirely fake “safety measures”. It is also the reason why they cannot today see, or acknowledge, the overwhelming evidence of injuries and deaths being caused by Covid vaccines. This is why ALL parties of the lockdown left (or Covid left) cannot and will not lead, or help to lead, the desperately needed struggle against the whole of capitalism and a struggle against imperialist war – let alone a revolution. This task falls to those who saw through Covid propaganda, not those who apologised for it.
What is required is a bridge between the freedom movement and those on the left who rejected Covid mania and are prepared to mobilise against the eminent danger of a world war. The freedom movement needs to step into the field of anti-war activity, while the so-called left needs to break entirely from Western propaganda about “totalitarianism” in Iran, Russia and China. The stakes have never been higher. Yet the only force which can truly bridge “left” and “right” are internationally linked authentic Marxist vanguard parties, which can lead workers towards a conquest over the tyranny and terror of vaccine mandates, lockdowns and the threat of imperialist wars.

$1 million isn’t much when compared to the $83 million+ that the Jacinda regime sent to Zelensky and his neo-Nazis in Ukraine, but it’s the principle that applies. No money for warmongers.

The Taxpayers’ Union has launched a petition calling for the Government to scrap continued funding of UNRWA, following revelation in recent weeks about connections to terrorism in the Isreal-Palestine conflict. Jordan Williams, a spokesman for the Taxpayers’ Union said:
“New Zealanders should not be forced to fund any aid organisation where there are serious allegations of money being funnelled into terrorism. There are plenty of other not-for-profits able to do the job without the politicisation.”
“In addition to the new allegations relating to UNRWA participating in the the 7th October attacks, previous concerns have been raised about UNRWA inciting radicalisation through obscene hate-filled publications.”
“New Zealand should join the governments of Australia, Canada, Britain, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Finland, the Netherlands and the US and pull taxpayer funding of UNRWA.”

Although the armaments manufacturers no doubt give Joe a 100% approval rating, more sensible advisors to the Duke Nuk’em administration may wonder if having 4 wars on the go at the same time is biting off more than you can chew.

Three U.S. troops were killed near the Syrian border yesterday, raising serious questions about the Biden administration’s foreign policy agenda.
What were those servicemembers doing there? How did their presence advance our national interests? Did they die in vain?
Instead of taking a step back and considering the possibility that this tragedy should prompt our government to de-escalate tensions in the Middle East, D.C. war hawks like John Cornyn and Nikki Haley immediately called for the U.S. to initiate a war with Iran.
Unlike Cornyn and Haley, combat veteran Joe Kent knows what it’s like to participate in war, and he recognizes how obviously terrible an armed conflict with Iran would be. He joined Tucker Carlson Uncensored to explain. Click the image above to watch.
