A snitch in time save nein - NZ gov "snitch" website crashes due to overload - [PEACE]
Abhorrent, ingorant, dotile, self righteous, and self centred humans are on full display here, as they rush in a great clamour to snitch on their neighbours, crashing the New Zealand government website in a frenzy of "rule breaker" reporting: New Zealand Site Crashes as Locals Rush to Report Rule-Breaking Neighbors Amid Lockdown https://sputniknews.com/society/202003301078767438-new-zealand-site-crashes-... New Zealanders are so eager to report others for breaking COVID-19 lockdown rules that the police website for reporting such cases crashed shortly after going live, local law enforcement officials revealed Monday. With New Zealand currently under a coronavirus lockdown, strict measures such as maintaining a distance of 2 meters from others have been imposed by authorities. Other restrictions include only allowing residents to leave their homes for essential reasons, i.e. for groceries or medical care. .. "We've had 4,200 reports of people believing others weren't complying," New Zealand Police Commissioner Mike Bush is quoted as saying by AFP. "It shows how determined Kiwis [a nickname used to refer to people from New Zealand] are that everyone complies with us,” Bush added. .. “Not every one of these over 4,000 reports will result in a visit from police. For example, some are reports of people jogging or walking past. People are of course allowed to do this within their own neighbourhoods. We have been attending where there are large groups of people congregating,” an unidentified police spokesperson told the Guardian. According to Bush, at least three people in New Zealand have been detained for breaking the lockdown rules, one of whom remains in police custody. He also noted that campervans carrying tourists traveling throughout the country have been a sustained issue. New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has also urged the public to report cases of people breaking lockdown measures. "Now is not the time to bend the rules. This is a time to stay at home and save lives," Ardern recently told reporters, according to AFP. ..

Folks, it ain't over till the politically obese lady sings, and "it" clearly ain't over. For those who value their sorry hide, continuing to stay ahead of the curve in your preparedness may be the message you ought advise yourself of. Given the abundant "drill" ongoing, don't cry if you ain't ready when it arrives. It's all very well (and good) to be able to laugh and keep spirits high, but laughter won't fill the belly aching from hunger. You may know someone who's still on the fence, not really sure if they should prep. God willing, being prepped will turn out to be not needed. But should turmoil hit, those Souls you assist to do a little self preserving prep may end up alive as a result, or they may end up with some excess rice and water - no biggie. Here's What 75 Preppers Learned During The Lockdown Daisy Luther via The Organic Prepper blog, https://www.theorganicprepper.com/what-preppers-learned-during-lockdown/ https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/heres-what-75-preppers-learned-du... The lockdown that recently took place due to the pandemic was like a practice run for a bigger SHTF event. Many of our prepper theories played out and were accurate, while others weren’t as realistic as we thought beforehand. https://www.theorganicprepper.com/the-lockdown-of-america-begins/ https://www.theorganicprepper.com/selco-survival-lessons-pandemic/ People who weren’t preppers already learned a lot about why they would want to be better prepared in the future, but they weren’t the only ones who learned lessons. These preppers took a moment to answer questions about the lessons they learned during the lockdown. (Here’s an article about the things I learned.) https://www.theorganicprepper.com/what-i-learned-during-the-covid-crisis/ What did you learn about preparedness during the lockdown? Trisha… I learned two main things. First, I was very surprised at how strongly the isolation hit me. I am a person who is “energized” by interacting with other people. I knew that already, but I was shocked at how MUCH it affected me. Second, I got a taste of normalcy bias. I kept trying to see ways in which our situation was still “Normal”. As a school teacher of little ones for thirty years, I was pretty much used to switching into action immediately to deal with a crisis and putting my feelings on the back burner. So, I was shocked that it took me a couple of months to “accept” the changes in our lives and start looking for creative ways to make life work and meet our needs. ...

Preppers it's like the sandwich without the sauce, the bread etc... as a matter of fact just the 'raw' idea. Here is lacking a political description of what the 'lockdown' is and what it represents and in fact there is need for a meta-political explanation, more in terms of science, technology, social changes and probably, biology. The core question is: how to resist to it? How to organize ourselves against it ? etc... laziness & lack of imagination seems the rule here.

Now dang! That's some tough questions! What is important is an individual thing I guess - given that so far at least, covid prep has only been for the need to handle the stupidity of others ("How much toilet paper do you need for a respiratory virus"). Still, the uncertainty of gov. and possible despotism on our doorstep does not rule out "food and water for basic survival" - we in Oz reportedly have the army locking down the border between Victoria, the state I live in, and New South Wales, just a few hours North. Perhaps a practice run for bigger things to come - who knows? Where/which/how/what is a life worth living? Perhaps in the bosom of Google, from the gradle to the grave? All tech needs back doors, since most tech is used against us, so Code Wisely muffas :) As a human, life and love outdoors, under the sun, under the stars, resplendent before our creator and grateful in our existence. Some of the "wild West frontier" novels of yore get into the heart of this... the vastness and glory of nature, the crushing defeats, the redemption and upliftment. Camraderie, the journey with more than self at some point. Without mateship, real friendship, companionship, intimacy, we can truly be said to miss part of the journey of a life worth living. However flawed, we must live and love and die inside infinitely small and unworthy, to be born again, ride again, love again. Thank you for your question.

Thank you for your question.
We know we're not being told the full story, we are kept as shrooms (mushrooms). As long as "our Western elites" definitively handle China, I'm willin to continue to play along with the Corona boax. This evidently means a full and financial divorce with China. And we are sorry, we have much to answer for, and as such I continue to cringe in embarrassment on behalf of the Western "elites" in the face of Putin's stern rebuke "Do you understand what you have done now?" (The chaos unleashed, the forcing of Russia's hand in so many ways!, the consequential rapid destruction of Western societal structure, and plenty more...) We are where we are. The West is in melt down mode, and shall continue as such for a while at least - treat us accordingly as 'we' shall continue for the time being to be agreement incapable. IFF there is a solid shift in November we may have hope for a future better than "ongoing chaos and uncertainty". On the personal front, "clean up your back yard" and continue to prep materially, spiritually, emotionally. Whilst "uncertainty" around the China virus and its mutations proceeds and we are obliged in certain ways such as "keep a mask in your pocket" which you can therefore put on if needed, and be seen to be __handling your duty of care responsibility to others in your community__, consider always "is there a righteous foundation to this next bit of hoo.hah, notwithstanding?" The West has some serious cleaning up to do. Things can be argued to be going relatively quickly - such huge shifts take time, and months is "short" tbh, so let's be grateful to those who are pulling their weight - thank you to you, weight pullers, bloody great weekend down under, sunshine an all :) I hear it's startin to rain in China. So sad.
