It isn’t only George Orwell’s 1984 that our leftist ruling class has been using as an instruction manual. From Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged : There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. New Zealand has put this principle into practice through Covid repression. In Auckland, KFC is contraband : Police were on patrol Sunday on the outskirts of Auckland when they “noticed a suspicious-looking vehicle traveling on a gravel road, and upon seeing the police car, the vehicle did a U-turn and sped off trying to evade police,” a spokesman said. But it isn’t so easy to escape the law in New Zealand. After the vehicle was chased down, a search revealed “empty ounce bags and a large amount of takeaways” — that is, takeout food from KFC. Police images show at least three buckets of chicken, several containers of coleslaw and an undisclosed quantity of fries. The suspects were smuggling the contraband from Hamilton, 75 miles away. Under Auckland’s Level 4 lockdown rules — the strictest in the country — restaurants, including takeout services, remain closed and everyone must stay home… Authorities graciously allow restaurants to stay in business in other parts of the country, at least for now.
The suspects have been charged with violating the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act, and could get 6 months in prison or a NZ$4,000 (US$2,800) fine for their crime against the people or rather the government of New Zealand.
There have been only 27 Covid deaths in the entire country. A leftist might take this as proof that tyranny makes people safe. Others might ask, even if this were true, would it be worth it? On tips from Dragon’s Lair and R F. YOUR SUPPORT IS APPRECIATED

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
