New Conservatives Forced Into Humiliating Climbdown On Cannabis Policy

The New Conservative Party recently changed their drug policy to remove the reference to increasing the legal penalties for cannabis use. This climbdown went unannounced, and was not noticed by other media concerns. But VJM Publishing noticed it, as we have been criticising the old New Conservative drug policy for years.

As captured in this screenshot from the Wayback Machine, the New Conservative drug policy used to state they wanted to increase penalties for cannabis use. This was consistent with the principles of the Christianity practiced by the New Conservatives, which seeks to destroy all genuine spiritual practice, leaving the Christian cult the sole purveyor of spiritual goods. Cannabis, which has been used as a spiritual sacrament by Indo-European people for thousands of years, is seen as evil by Abrahamists.

The problem is that such a policy is inconsistent with the principles of freedom, and New Conservatives have always presented themselves as a freedom party. Much of Elliot Ikilei’s campaign material from the 2020 General Election prominently featured the word “FREEDOM”, and freedom from the tyrannical Sixth Labour Government was one of the main selling points of the New Conservative movement.

However, claiming to stand for freedom at the same time as standing for the oppression of cannabis users is a blatant contradiction. VJM Publishing has been resolute in pointing out this contradiction. Every time someone preached to us the imperative of voting New Conservatives for the sake of freedom, we pointed out that the New Conservatives themselves opposed freedom for cannabis users.

Christians ripped into us for this stance. “Who cares about cannabis users?” they cried. Cannabis users are degenerates, their filthy habit should not be tolerated. Cannabis use causes violence and crime, they bleated (unlike our holy scripture that says followers of other religions should be killed). Only the freedoms that we want are actual freedoms – anyone wanting other freedoms can get stuffed.

But what goes around, comes around.

So when former New Conservative leader Leighton Baker was arrested in Wellington, he didn’t get much sympathy from these quarters. I couldn’t refrain from remarking that the Police did to Baker exactly what Baker wanted done to cannabis users. As such, it was fitting that he got a taste of his own medicine. This opinion proved immensely unpopular in some quarters (I was banned from several TeleGram groups for uttering it), but I stand by it.

All laws are enforced by Police violence. Every single one. If a person performs an action which is morally right, but which is legally wrong, a Police officer might arrest that person. If that person should resist the arrest on the grounds that their action was morally right, the Police officer will physically smash that person into submission in order to make the arrest possible.

Therefore, those who support cannabis prohibition also support violence done towards cannabis users by the law enforcement authorities. Although many supporters of cannabis prohibition deny this, it’s a fact made evident by simple logic. This is why cannabis users have understandable cause to resent those who support cannabis prohibition. It’s a similar level of brain-dead prejudice to wanting someone locked up for having sex with another consenting adult.

VJM Publishing made all of these arguments in the wake of Baker’s arrest. It seems that the irrationality of New Conservatives’ drug policy became apparent to them at some point shortly after, because they updated it to remove the policy of increasing penalties for cannabis use.

The basic inhumanity of cannabis prohibition is now evident to even the most morally depraved section of society, the Christian conservative. It’s surely just a matter of time before the law is significantly changed.

Learnings From The Truckers’ Convoy And Parliament Lawn Protests

Now that the Police have broken up the freedom protest in Wellington, it’s time to look back on the past month and determine what can be learned from the experience. In the opinion of this author, four important lessons are immediately evident.

1. Establish a clear leadership structure.

The freedom movement needs to have established leaders who can be relied upon to give accurate information to supporters about the state of affairs. The February convoys were beset by misinformation and rumour-mongering, some of it deliberately stirred up by Establishment lackeys, mainstream media hacks and other tools of authoritarianism.

Some detachments of the convoys were sent down wrong routes by trolls pretending to be organisers, and a grifter pretending to be part of the movement was able to trick people into making donations into his personal bank account. A clear leadership structure needs to be established to avoid these dangers. The masses must be told who these leaders are so that they know not to trust rumours being spread by others.

These national leaders must be unifying figures who have broad support among alternative thinkers. This means no Brian Tamakis or Derek Taits. A person like Outdoors Party Leader Sue Grey would be ideal. This person would have to be responsible for delegating responsibilities to other members of the leadership structure, and would therefore have to be available full time.

A goal might be to find a trusted representative from each leg of the route to stay in touch with the national leadership, as well as the Logistics Committee and Media and Public Relations Committee (see below). The ultimate goal would be a structure that protected the movement from false rumours, outside agitators, mainstream media lies and the machinations of Establishment politicians.

2. Establish a Logistics Committee.

At one point, rumour had it that the viability of the Parliament lawn campsite hinged on whether the protest organisers could arrange Portaloos for the protesters. This is an example of the logistical considerations that protest organisers need to consider. Next time, a Logistics Committee needs to take care of any issues relating to providing the basic needs of thousands of people.

As Kelvyn Alp mentioned on Counterspin the other night, the convoy participants were met along the way by people handing out bread and other food. A large number of people suddenly descending on a city will inevitably require large amounts of food and drink. A Logistics Committee is needed to help deal to this suddenly increased demand for basic needs. Arranging shelter is also vital work.

Logistics also includes the provision of a public address system. The PA system for the speakers outside Parliament was provided by a church group, which soon refused to let anyone else speak except for preachers. The freedom movement must try to supply everything needed for its purposes without relying on outsiders who may have other motives.

3. Establish a Media and Public Relations Committee.

The mainstream media’s coverage of the protests was little more than an effort to smear the protesters as white supremacists. All throughout, the mainsteam media spread rumours of neo-Nazi involvement, sexual assaults in the camp and violence against bystanders. The mainstream media is an arm of the control system and the enemy of the New Zealand people, and they need to be considered as such. Therefore, they must be dealt with intelligently.

To this end, the freedom movement needs a Media and Public Relations Committee to deal with media interactions.

One important part of this is to provide press releases to scoop.co.nz and to other journalistic sources. This will get the true message out about the motivations, intentions and aspirations of the movement and will pre-empt the authorities and the mainstream media from smearing us as racists and white supremacists. We must speak for ourselves so that our enemies are prevented from doing so.

These press releases must serve the imperative to win the propaganda war. Winning this war also involves getting the message out through channels other than the mainstream media, who will twist and spin things to serve their masters in the Establishment. Close liasons with alternative media must be maintained. Freedom movement leaders must get themselves interviewed by, and get their opinion pieces published by, the alternative media.

4. Keep the Christians and other fanatics out.

VJM Publishing has long made the argument that the freedom movement cannot include Christians for the simple reason that Christians do not support freedom, as evidenced by Christian opposition to cannabis law reform, prostitution law reform and homosexual law reform, and Christian support for the legal right to hit one’s children and to rape one’s wife.

These five strikes do not mean that Christians should be made to feel excluded, but it means that Christians cannot be allowed into influential positions within the movement. They will sabotage the movement to the benefit of their cult if any opportunity arises, and will always cause infighting as they inevitably seek to impose themselves upon and exclude non-Christians.

To this end, Destiny Church and Brian Tamaki have to be completely excluded. Destiny and Tamaki claim to be freedom fighters, but they recently campaigned for the New Zealand Government to destroy cannabis users in the 2020 cannabis referendum. Therefore, they do not understand freedom. They are simply grifters using the freedom movement to promote their cult, and need to be utterly shunned.

Any religious fundamentalist who has previously campaigned to take freedoms away from the New Zealand people must be excluded from the freedom movement. This means anti-cannabis fanatics like Tamaki, Elliot Ikilei and Leighton Baker. The freedom movement has to be smart enough to tell the difference between people who truly stand up for freedom and people who just say that they do.

This goes for all other fanatics. No Communists, no Nazis, no “you should be allowed to buy children on the free market” libertarians. Anyone who thinks they can decide for other people what’s right for them has to be excluded. They will only cause infighting.

What We Need For A Successful Revolution To Be Possible

It has been obvious since the cannabis referendum that modern democracy is a failed system. In practice, democracy amounts to rule by the owners of the mainstream media, i.e. the international banking and finance interests, who tell the people what to support. The ongoing Parliament lawn protests are the most vivid manifestation of this fact. But it can’t yet become a full revolution, on account of missing a vital element.

The protests contain many of the necessary ingredients for a successful revolution. This is why the New Zealand Establishment is currently shitting its pants, sending all of their soft power (in the form of the mainstream media and the intelligence services) after the protesters. They’re afraid that a Mussolini might stand up and incite the crowd to storm Parliament.

The first necessary ingredient is a tyrannical system.

As mentioned previously, the Sixth Labour Government has an atrocious human rights record. They are currently violating most of Kiwis’ enumerated rights from the NZ Bill of Rights Act. Despite the excuses made by the mainstream media, New Zealanders no longer feel like a free people. We work long hours but still have no chance of making enough money to buy a home that we can raise families in. We are slaves.

Emphasising the tyranny is a horrifically arrogant and out-of-touch ruling class. Labour MP Michael Wood recently described the protesters as a “river of filth”. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is nowhere to be seen. Supposed Leader of the Opposition Chris Luxon threw his weight in behind the Establishment. The political class in Wellington don’t care at all about the suffering of Kiwis. They are above the law and rub that fact in our faces.

The second necessary ingredient is the people coming together despite all the attempts to divide and conquer them.

In principle, a ruling class can act as tyrannically as it likes, as long as it can keep the people too divided to form any solid resistance. Traditionally, religion was the divider, with barbaric or irrational religious practices deliberately promoted in order to sow discord. Today’s ruling class use identity politics to achieve the same ends.

What has really terrified the Establishment about the Parliament lawn protests is that the divide-and-conquer tactics pushed by the apparatus of propaganda have not divided the protesters. Whites and Maoris stand side by side, men and women stand side by side, young and old stand side by side, working-class and middle-class stand side by side. It’s the Establishment’s worst nightmare.

If a dedicated nationalist would stand up right now, and take command of the various strands of dissidence swirling around the Parliament lawn, they could easily command enough support to win a seat at the political table. But it won’t be a simple matter of storming Parliament with rifles and heaving the politicians out of windows. The alternative political movement is missing the third necessary ingredient: an alternative philosophy to replace globohomo.

There are two parts to this needed alternative philosophy. The first is an alternative political philosophy detailing how society ought to be run. The second is an alternative political structure. To both ends, this essay makes two suggestions.

A previous essay here described the two major political questions: for who and how much? This essay suggests that we ought to radically change our approach to the first question by replacing our current globalist orientation with a nationalist orientation. As for the second question, no change is necessary. We don’t need either more government or less. A change in orientation would be sufficient.

This leads us to national alt centrism. This political philosophy believes that globalism has failed, that the Establishment has failed, and that the alt left and the alt right are both dangerous extremists. National alt centrism is sometimes described as the “temple whore” of political philosophies on account of that it samples all of the other positions, and subordinates them all to spirituality. But it is the alternative political philosophy that New Zealand needs.

This subordination to spirituality is the second suggestion of this essay: that we base our alternative political structure on the Elemental Mysteries, in much the same way that the ancient Greek Golden Age took inspiration from their mystery schools such as the Eleusinian Mysteries.

Thus, in order to be taken seriously as a leader in the new century, a person will have to have been initiated into the Elemental Mysteries. The logic is that the ruling class must understand the Will of God before they can justly rule. Without this understanding, the ruling class will be motivated by base, materialistic concerns such as wealth, power or status.

A ruling class whose wills have been brought into line with the Will of God through the use of spiritual sacraments and initiation into the Elemental Mysteries will naturally comprise a true aristocracy. This aristocracy can be left to lead society into the future without getting hamstrung by pointless charades such as democratic elections. Plato was correct when he wrote in Republic that democracy was rule by lowest common denominator, and a ruling class comprised of a spiritual aristocracy would overcome the problems with that.

Of course, this essay is far from a complete alternative political philosophy. But it serves as a preliminary suggestion as to what such a philosophy might look like.

Ultimately, there would be one main purpose to developing this alternative philosophy: to convince the Police to join the side of the people and abandon the side of the tyrants. The Police are already aware that New Zealand is poorly governed and that a broad cross-section of society is united in disapproval of Jacinda Ardern. If they could be convinced to join the people, a successful revolution would be possible, and an alternative political philosophy is necessary before they could be so convinced.

The Mainstream Media Is The Enemy Of The People

The ongoing Parliament lawn protests are the closest thing that New Zealand has ever seen to a true people’s revolution. Kiwis from all over the nation have descended upon Wellington to voice their displeasure at the tyrannical way this country is being run, and at the wholesale loss of human rights we have suffered under the Sixth Labour Government. Some have been surprised, then, to see the mainstream media come out in full support of the tyrants.

Ever since the convoys first launched from the ends of the country, the mainstream media has been cheering for the Establishment and writing everything they could to demonise the protesters and their supporters. Some have wondered why the mainstream media has not been more supportive of the protests. The simple answer is that the mainstream media are attack dogs of the Establishment, and the enemies of the New Zealand people.

Examples of the mainstream media attacking the New Zealand people for protesting their mistreatment abound.

Stuff propagandist Glenn McConnell smeared Counterspin Media as “Far-Right conspiracy broadcasters” despite that Counterspin’s reputation is much higher than that of Stuff. McConnell claimed that Counterspin’s hosts and interviews “focus on disinformation about the Government controlling the press”, even though the mainstream press runs the Government line on every single issue, including the protests.

Neoliberal attack merchants Newshub ran a piece claiming that the protesters had stolen matting from a skate park in Wellington, taking social media accusations as evidence. An unnamed Twitter user wrote “that’s definitely them” in reference to a photo of some similar mats at the Parliament lawn, and this was held up by Newshub as solid evidence that the Wellington protesters are thieves.

Labour Party propaganda organ The Spinoff claimed that tow truck operators had been “inundated with death threats” from protesters at the Wellington site. Tow truck operators, all of who are working-class like the protesters, have been reluctant to tow away the protesters’ vehicles. So The Spinoff manufactured a narrative that the reluctance of the towies was due to death threats from protesters.

Jewish supremacist Marc Daalder predictably tried to smear the protesters as far-right wing extremists, claiming in one NewsRoom piece that the convoy protests were “a vehicle for fringe and even violent extremist ideologies”. Daalder’s shamelessly anti-Kiwi rant contains several references to “extremism”, “white supremacists” and “conspiracy theorists”, and totally ignores the heavy Maori and white working-class representation in the protests.

The pattern to all these hit pieces is clear: the Government must be obeyed without question, and anyone speaking out against it is a far-right-wing extremist who deserves to be smashed. Why does the mainstream media propagandise on behalf of the Government to destroy an organic Kiwi protest movement? The answer is simple.

The mainstream media is the enemy of the people.

The truth is that the Government controls the mainstream press as totally and completely as they control the Police, and for the same reason: to keep the people under control. The only difference is that the Police control people physically, whereas the press controls people mentally. This mental control is exercised by relentlessly destroying the reputations of anyone who speaks out against the control system.

The mainstream media are paid by their owners to divide and conquer the people, to set the people against each other and to cause infighting. There are two major ways they do this: by spreading false narratives and by spreading fear. These two ways often work in unison.

The false narratives are generally intended to distract from the class narrative, and the most popular of these distractions is the race narrative. Every time there’s a race war angle that can be exploited, it is exploited. Just this week a high school student in Otago had her hijab pulled off, and it made front-page news. Students are beaten up every day in New Zealand high schools, but this doesn’t get reported on because there’s no race-hate angle to push.

The mainstream media loves most of all to combine false narratives with fearmongering, as they have done with the coronavirus narrative. Much like the racial narrative, the coronavirus narrative declares that a significant proportion of the population are subhuman on account of that they think incorrectly and that their wrongthinking endangers the rest of us.

Tyranny cannot exist without the support of the mindless masses. To that end, tyranny has to be normalised before it can be accepted. It’s a feature of every tyranny that the mainstream media serves as their propaganda arm, propagandising for acceptance of tyrannical actions and against the tyranny’s enemies.

The current situation in New Zealand – where the corporate media agitates against dissidents on behalf of the Government – is textbook fascism. The Government and the mainstream media work hand-in-hand to keep the Kiwi people suppressed. That mainstream media, then, is clearly the enemy of the Kiwi people, as they are the enemy of all nations ruled by globalist interests.

Government MP Michael Wood was quoted in Hansard today as stating “I would say that there is a river of genuine fascism in parts of the event that we see out the front of this Parliament today.” This is partially true. The full truth is that the fascism is displayed by the New Zealand Government when they set the Police and the mainstream media against the New Zealand people.
