It's one year today since I sat down in the hallway of our little rental, with the gentle light of a sunny spring afternoon falling through the leadlight window of our front door, and offered up my heart and my total vulnerability, to speak out against the violence and brutality of jacinda ardern as she bullied, coerced and blackmailed our gentle and trusting Kiwi nation into ignoring the best part of our national soul.
With her honeyed words of "safe and effective" and her assurances that this would stop transmission of the imagined threat ( and it WAS an imagined threat, now that we can see it in the ruthless light of hindsight), this prime minister inveigled Kiwis in our thousands into trusting something that is still even now, in its experimental phase. She forced many Kiwis, through mandates and the fear of losing jobs and homes, to go against their better instincts and to put something deep inside their bodies in a cruel violation of the great Kiwi Free Will.
Now one year on, what are we going to do to come together in Love and mutual respect and support again- the old Kiwi ways- and find a way to bypass and rise above the terrible paths of wrongdoing and mendacity into which this Labour government has led our once fine and feisty and intrepid little country?
We must forgive one another through the one path to real healing - open and free communication. And to do that, we must rid ourselves of the plague of censorship and bullying and lying that has poured like sewerage, from the minds and mouths of cindy and her sorry band.
They will be remembered by History as criminal in their intent and their actions. But we Kiwis are so much better than the sum of their sorry parts and policies.
We can find ways to share and honour each other across the vast divides that Labour has planted and manufactured. We will find our way back. Truth-telling, listening to each other's pain and confusion and hurt, offering Love and finding Faith in a divine source of that Love, are all ways in which the healing waters can be helped to flow once more over our brutalised nation.
We are Kiwis.
In the bonds of Love we can meet once more.
Please God, hear our voices, we entreat:
God Defend Our Free Land.
And finally, my personal thanks to all the Loyal and Brave Ones who have stood shoulder to shoulder with me and with our treasured crew at Freenz Media, through these last twelve months: we are all brothers and sisters of Life’s vicissitudes, in these trenches, from whence we send out our powerful visions of a united, and healed, and loving New Zealand. Our shared visions of the new New Zealand are like rockets of Light launched powerfully into the dark night cast temporarily over our land, by an evil cabal.
Thank you for your fine interviews, your loving messages, your intelligent thread comments, your humorous memes, and your irrepressible dedication to winning back our country.
Nothing can overcome a group Love like ours: a Love for this country and for each other. One People. Kiwis. From all colours and creeds and corners of the world, we are one. And remember: our Love will ALWAYS overcome evil in the end.
Just keep standing up. Keep speaking out. Keep uniting with other Brave Ones.
And Keep Your Faith in our already -destined triumph over little cindy and her vapid and greedy and cruel -but ultimately pathetic - overlords.
With my abiding love - to you all -
–Liz G
Ka whawhai tonu tātou! Koke ururoatia! Wow one year, feels like a life time. I am greatful for all the support I was given, the strength that I got from strangers whom have become and extension of my extended whānau! I was both blessed and honored to have had Liz interview and become a close confidant and dear friend. A year on and the aftermath of the mandates still haunts and numbs me to the core. I have lost much, but also gained soooo much. I consider myself a survive and also luckier than most.
It would be awesome to have a catch up interview... one year on where are we!!! Liz has probably already gone down that track! Amazing women and amazing person! Much aroha!
Thank you Liz : for your wisdom, courage, humanity and friendship. You are always in my prayers.
