Propaganda is a complex and frequently subtle manipulative process in which a power centre of one sort or another leads an individual or a group of people to believe something, or, perhaps without believing, to act in a particular way, that goes against free will or genuinely informed consent. – Organisation for Propaganda Studies UK

So RNZ and TVNZ will operate under a new mega public media organisation.
The new merged Crown entity will be up and running by the middle of next year and we’re promised that ‘trustworthy news’ will be its core service, ‘with complete editorial independence’.
The government will need a whole lot more honest journalism to build trust in their promise.
British academic Piers Robinson, an expert in communication, media and world politics, says that the international Covid response is one of the biggest propaganda operations in history.
“All the alarm bells are ringing with anyone who has a knowledge of history or propaganda.”
Robinson points out that the idea of the unvaccinated causing problems is not accurate and is a reminder of Germany in the 1930s when the Nazis demonised the Jews as unclean.
We should indeed be alarmed about moving into the dark segregation place that Robinson describes.
The parallels are there: our so-called left-leaning politicians ridiculed and demonised the protesters in Wellington, calling them far right conspiracy theorists, Trump supporting purveyors of filth. The leftwing has leaned so far left that they have become rightwing.
Ardern has ignored and closed down people asking questions and we still don’t know why science debate is censored.
What’s difficult to understand or accept is the lack of hard-nosed journalism in mainstream media.
Robinson says the reality is that MSM operates in the same circles as powerful groups and shares the same outlook. Look at funding and pressures within.
Robinson says the picture is not all bleak but people need to see the dangers.
If enough people realise that things aren’t right, democratic principles will persist, he says.
‘Tech enabled tyranny’, tops the list of threats to our way of life globally.
Jacinda Ardern has close ties with the World Economic Forum, a body that has stated its objective for restructuring society and brags of infiltrating governments around the world.
Its Forum of Young Global Leaders was founded in 2005 by Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the WEF.
Its aim: ‘to create a world where leaders take responsibility for a sustainable future, while meeting increasingly complex and interrelated challenges.’
There are 1,400 members and alumni from more than 120 countries. It’s well known that notable members include Jacinda Ardern.
The World Economic Forum’s digital identity agenda will help explain Ardern’s vaccinate-at-all-costs policy. She’s still driving the booster programme even as Omicron becomes less of a threat and in spite of clear evidence that the vaccine doesn’t stop infection or transmission and that it carries risks of serious adverse effects.
Today on the government’s livestream Covid update, boosters and paediatric doses continue to be promoted while there are scores of vaccine injured dismissed and the long term effects of the vaccine on children is unknown and ignored.
Yes, it’s clear that there are other things going on that are not about the virus but Ardern is keeping her agenda close to her chest. In the meantime her divide and conquer approach to vaccine mandates is characterised by its blame game and the country is horribly split.
Nobody knows how it will all play out.
Yuval Noah Harari, author of Sapiens and Homo Deus, has a fascinating take on society’s future.
Speaking at the World Economic Forum in 2020, he warned that technology risks digital dictatorships, dividing the world into wealthy elites and exploited "data colonies".
I thoroughly recommend you listen to his explanation on the World Economic Forum website:

Here at home, we need some honesty and transparency as we head into these pivotal times.
To Ardern’s ‘accredited journalists’ - and increasing numbers of brave, independent journalists springing up: please ask her these questions:
• What plans do New Zealand banks have, if any, for a national digital identification system? (It’s reported that the Canadian Banking Association is pushing for a such a system. The World Economic Forum has also argued for dystopian-sounding digital IDs noting that banks should lead the way.)
• You said, “We are committed to making New Zealand a truly digital nation.” Exactly what does this mean for Kiwis’ freedom of movement and travel?
• Will vaccine passports serve as a form of digital identity in New Zealand, as outlined by the World Economic Forum in its February 22, 2022 report?
• Did you ever tell the public that New Zealand is designated as the depositary of the World Economic Forum’s Digital Economy Partnership Agreement?
• What is this agreement? Was it ever discussed in Parliament?
• Exactly what is your commitment to the World Economic Forum’s reset agenda?
• Are you, finally, going to recognise and help the vaccine injured?
• Are you ready for open and inclusive debate?
Anger is growing. Resistance has grown. New parties are forming.
