In a surprising announcement the now former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced that she will be stepping down from her role several days ago, leaving office no later than February 7th.
Ardern was the youngest leader in the world when she was elected 6 years ago at 39-years of age. Ardern is also a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, who became infamously recognized around the world for her administration’s tight Covid restrictions, such as locking down the entire country over one lone reported case of Covid.
In-late December of 2021 The WinePress reported that her net worth increased by a whopping 3125% since 2020.
The WP documented in that report:
Ardern has made it very clear that she despises those that are unvaccinated and do voluntarily follow her orders in lockstep manor.
Such as the case in October when she openly admitted and affirmed that she views the unvaccinated as second-class citizens.
Reporter: So you’ve basically said, you probably don’t see it like this, but two different classes of people — if you’re vaccinated or unvaccinated. You have all these rights if you are vaccinated.
Ardern: That is what it is, yep.
Ardern also told Kiwi media outlets that the Covid vaccination will rollout never be good enough, and essentially never end.
So as long as there are people who are eligible who haven’t been vaccinated we’ve got work to do.
You know I don’t think I’ll ever been satisfied so long as their is someone who has choosed – who is eligible and hasn’t been [vaccinated].
There is not going to be an endpoint to this vaccination program.
We’re rolling out boosters now, so we gotta another wave of people we need to make sure we are protecting again. So, those who were vaccinated six months ago, we really need them to come back or we need to go to them.
I can confirm that Tinder liaisons have reopened.
It’s not strictly embedded in the traffic light system, but, um, it is a given – up to 25, actually, in a ‘red’ area.

But now she’s out. And similarly to what happened in the United Kingdom last year, a new election was not held but the new replacement was hand-picked by the people already installed. The formal election will not occur until October 14th.
In comes Chris Hipkins, whose nickname is “Chippy.”
The New Zealand Herald wrote:
Chris “Chippy” Hipkins will be New Zealand’s next prime minister and Labour’s new leader, landing him perhaps his largest “fix-it” job of them all.
Hipkins, 44, is a senior high-profile minister in the Labour Government, highly regarded as a hard worker and “Mr Fix-it” of the caucus for swooping in to take on some of the toughest roles, while retaining a relaxed and at times self-deprecating approach.
An MP since 2008, Hipkins was thrust into the public spotlight in 2020, taking over the role of leading the Covid-19 response from David Clark and guiding the country through the toughest moments of the pandemic.
Hipkins is regarded as more of a centrist politician within the left-leaning Labour Party, but has stood strongly for classic Labour values around wealth distribution and worker rights, and is passionate about education.
The Herald went on to detail his personal life, accomplishments and resume, and some of the controversies surrounding him.
During a news conference when he was announced to be the next Prime Minister he said,
I think we’re an incredibly strong team.
We’ve gone through this process with unity and we’ll continue to do that. I’m feeling really fortunate to be working with such an amazing group of people who have a real commitment to the service of the people of New Zealand.
Over the coming week the cabinet will be making decisions on reining in some programmes and projects that aren’t essential right now. We will be focused on middle and low income New Zealanders and the small businesses that are (finding) it tough to get by.
Our books and our economy are in a better shape than many around the world and we are absolutely resolved to help the New Zealanders through these tough economic times.
He said, while praising Ardern, saying, “She gave voice to those often overlooked in times of challenge and purposefully went about doing politics differently.”
The NZ Herald revealed in a separate post that, apparently, Ardern had already discussed with Hipkins to make him the next Prime Minister over an entire year ago.
I knew she was considering if she had enough in the tank.
I’ve had an opportunity of the summer to take a break and I wanted to do that because I also knew that if I was going to be taking on a bigger challenge then I wanted to make sure I was coming back reenergised and refreshed.
I wanted to make the most of that opportunity because I don’t know that there’ll be much more opportunity for that in the next nine months.
He told Kiwi media
He further explained “A lot has happened in a year and so there is a need for us, as a Government, to refocus and to make sure that we’re really focused on those bread and butter issues that New Zealanders are focused on at the moment;” and people “want to know that the Government’s got their back.”
As alluded to before, Mr. Hipkins was the minister of health from July to November 2020, and minister for Covid-19 response from November 2020 to June 2022. This means these snap-lockdowns on the pretense of single cases where under his authority.
While Hipkins is not a direct WEF affiliate like Ardern is, he still received two separate shout-outs from the Forum in 2021 for his lockdown strategies – one in June and one in November.
On July 7th, 2021, Hipkins, like many other governments around the world, became much more overtly aggressive in their approach to get people to receive a Covid-19 vaccine – He told the press at the time that the government would start “chasing out” those still reluctant to get vaccinated, and that they “will” get vaccinated.
I think early next year we’ll be in the phase of chasing out people who haven’t come forward to get their vaccination, or missed their bookings and so on.
So everyone will be able to get a vaccine between now and the end of the year. Of course, I want every New Zealander to come forward, but human behavior suggests that there will be some people that we actually have to really go out and look for, and some of that may spill into next year.
But, our commitment is everyone will have the opportunity to get the vaccine by the end of the year, everyone will [get the vaccine].
But I can’t say that we aren’t going to have some hesitant people or just some people who just haven’t come forward that we don’t have to go out and find next year.
He said
Hipkins would later take softer stances against those who did not want to get vaccinated. In September of that year he said,
We need to just get out there and encourage people to be vaccinated and I think a finger pointing type exercise is actually going to be an impediment to getting people to come forward and be vaccinated.
I’m always hesitant when it comes to talking about that sort of thing because it quickly descends into a thing of saying those people just aren’t pulling their weight or they’re not doing what they should be doing. Actually that’s not helpful.
Getting to 90%, the question becomes what does that 10% look like? Whose in that 10 per cent who’s not vaccinated? And if there are high concentration pockets of people who are unvaccinated, then that’s still a really significant risk.
He said
In March of 2022 he defended rescinding vaccine mandates for teachers, stating:
Ultimately the relative level of risk is changing very marginally compared to what it was before. So removing the vaccine mandate for the education workforce doesn’t mean that all those people who have been vaccinated now become unvaccinated. So we still have very high rates of vaccination across the country.
The reality is that even vaccinated teachers can still get and pass on Omicron so things have changed quite a bit. Omicron has changed the game quite a bit since we’ve put those mandates in place.
We were dealing with Delta and earlier variants when we made the mandate decisions that continue to be enforced as of today. And the world has changed a lot, the virus has changed and we need to recognize that in the rules that we’ve got in place.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.
Proverbs 29:2
One clown out, another clown in.
Hipkins is just another pea in the same draconian pod – the same motley crue that oppresses New Zealand and the obedient Kiwis. No changes for the better will occur, clearly.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

It’s all a circus!
He straight up just said that they were going to force the unvaccinated to take the death shot.I pray for their swift destruction that God drops them before they have a chance to murder anyone else, that doesn’t want the vaccine.I cant wait till this freak show is over and the Lord takes care of those wicked devils.
Does his cup say “spread your legs, not the virus”?
Correct. That’s why I chose that picture. I think that was some sort of joke he started to use these past years to encourage social distancing, but I did not look into it too much. Dude’s a total fruitcake.
I wonder if Ian is a woman, just as the last freak show clown is a biologic male.
