Lockdown Queen Jacinda Ardern Receives Damehood at Windsor Castle for Draconian COVID-19 Response

New Zealand’s former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern received a damehood during an investiture held at Windsor Castle today in honour of her draconian response to COVID-19. The Mail has more.

Prince William, 42, was the royal handing out the honours, and his friendship with Jacinda, 44, was on full show as the two interacted.

Smiling broadly in each other’s company, the two friends were pictured looking comfortable as the Prince of Wales pinned the honour onto her sash, near her waist. …

The closeness exhibited today by the royal and the former New Zealand PM isn’t the first time their friendly bond has been caught on camera.

In 2019, during a two-day visit to New Zealand, the prince commemorated Anzac Day.

The then-Duke, who cut a sombre figure, donning a navy suit during the ceremony at Auckland’s War Memorial Museum, was joined by then PM-Jacinda Ardern.

William greeted Jacinda with a traditional Maori touch of the noses called a hongi. 

According to reports, Jacinda was appointed a Dame Grand Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the 2023 King’s Birthday Honours for her services to the state.

The appointment came just months after her shock resignation as PM.

Her official citation listed her response to the COVID-19 pandemic, “positioning New Zealand as having one of the lowest COVID-19 related death rates in the Western world”.

New Zealand voters turfed her out over her punishing Covid and Net Zero policies. But the Establishment still makes sure she gets her honours for doing the ‘right thing’ i.e., following the approved narrative.

Worth reading in full.

Instead of a damehood it would have been more appropriate to give her a Stalin Award for her significant contribution to the advancement of totalitarian control: censorship, surveillance, coercion and intimidation.
An inspiration for our future leaders.

See New York Times best-selling author Dr Naomi Wolf’s recent book “The Pfizer Papers” which were obtained by legal action in the USA. Watch also her interview with Del Bigtree on the Highwire: Absolutely truly horrific details of the severe injuries and deaths caused to men, women, children and babies including the unborn in utero. These include also long term damage impairing the future development of boys into men [more trans gender people!!] and the fertility of boys, girls, men and women. Everyone in the US establishment right up to the White House involved knew about it all and they still kept claiming the vaccines were safe and effective when they were neither but extremely dangerous and have injured large numbers of people across several generations simultaneously. And there are details of the documented efforts to cover it all up and keep on rolling out the vaccines. They knew. They all knew. Names are named. In the book and in the Highwire interview. They did not just still promote the vaccines. They still did not just claim the vaccines were safe and effective. They – and ‘they’ are named – worked actively to cover up the problems whilst still encouraging… Read more »

it was excellent, thank you for bringing it to people’s attention, the problem is that those of us who are awake are the ones who will read the book, watch the interview, somehow the evidence needs to be picked up by the mainstream and Pfizer, Fauci, Wallensky etc need to be on trial for what they have done.

‘Like a rat fleeing a sinking ship’: Why Jacinda Ardern is leaving others to clean up her mess | Sky News Australia — Caroline Di Russo says it best:

“Her trademark weaponised compassion was again on display, and surely, she will be remembered for how effortlessly she pretended to care.”

“They were the lowlights of a policy platform so laughably deficient it was hard to work out whether Ardern was malicious or just masterfully incompetent.”

“I trust it took considerable effort to wreak the kind of havoc she did on the Kiwis.”

“After inflicting one of the longest and harshest COVID-19 lockdowns on her people, openly admitting to creating separate classes of citizen on the basis of vaccination status, and torching the domestic economy, she is washing her hands of the consequences and has executed a perfect hospital handpass to the next NZ Labour leader.”

I trust GB News will be steering clear of this news, the bunch of Royal sycophants. She is already a Chair of William’s Earth Shot. The evidence is there for those who care to see, the Royals are a bunch of Globalist freeloaders. BTW — GBN has been very quiet on the “safe & effective” lately. Seems they’re nothing more that controlled opposition once they ousted Steyn.

Well, I must say, this really is very annoying. It appears that a fair few Kiwis are not happy with this remarkably stupid, duplicitous and dishonest woman’s direction of NZs covid response as well. ‘Accurate health and economic data are needed to evaluate policy responses to COVID-19. A potentially comprehensive health indicator is excess deaths. Local commentators highlight an excess deaths series that suggests negative cumulative excess mortality for New Zealand in the first three years of COVID-19 – in other words, fewer deaths than expected. This flawed measure ignores changes in population growth. Deaths rose in New Zealand from 2015 to 2019 as population grew at two percent per annum. Population growth came almost to a standstill after the border closed in March 2020. Methods of extrapolating from the past to predict future deaths, to ascertain if actual deaths exceed projections, must account for this sharp change in population growth rates. Rather than New Zealand being unique, in having negative cumulative excess deaths in the COVID-19 era, cumulative deaths are about four percent above expected deaths (through 2022) once population growth rate changes are accounted for.’ https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00779954.2024.2314770 The dame increased deaths in NZ by 4% ‘To the extent that… Read more »

The data from Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Centre shows New Zeeland with a few cases and then none (supposedly). Vaccination started in March 2021 and picked up rapidly to 100k, and more, a day. Cases and deaths start to appear (sporadically) in Sept 2021. NZ borders were opened in stages beginning Feb 2022.
This shows the futility of lockdowns because sooner or later the population needs to be exposed to a common respiratory virus such as a coronavirus, otherwise the population’s natural immunity will be behind everywhere else by several variants.
This also shows quite clearly the ineffectiveness of the vaccines/vaccines’. NZ used three different therapies: Novavax, Oxford/AstraZeneca and Pfizer/BioNTech.
On top of all that was the senseless economic destruction.
Tourism was one of the industries hardest hit by New Zealand’s tough Covid measures.
In the year ending March 2021, the industry’s contribution to the GDP dropped to 2.9%, from 5.5% the year before.
International tourism took an especially big hit, plunging 91.5% – or NZ$16.2bn ($10.2bn; £8.4bn) – to NZ$1.5bn, according to official data.
The number of people directly employed in tourism also fell by over 72,000 during this period. (BBC)

Look on the bright side, to make sure Horse-Face knows in what regard we hold her we took two races off the Kiwis today in the America’s Cup. The Kiwis [as holders], have had to host the Cup in Barcelona because Horse-Face wouldn’t stump up a few quid to do it in Auckland! She’s probably blown it all on face masks and private jet travel…or she thinks yachting is elitist?

When I first became aware of the work that Dr Naomi Wolf and her team had done on the Pfizer documents, I came to the conclusion that those who forced these injections on so many millions, on pain of losing their livelihood, should face the death sentence. At that level of government, you have absolutely no excuse to be ignorant of the harms you are doing, or turn a blind eye to the lies of Rochelle Walensky, Anthonly Fauci, the FDA, or any of the other malfeasants involved. Dr Wolf’s work has since been vindicated by study after study, by one government database after another, and yet the perpetrators continue to slap each other on the back, wilfully ignoring the pain and death that they caused and mocking those who warned them of their folly. Sadly, it is no surprise to see them being given honours instead. After all, it was the Prince’s grandmother who went on TV and urged the British people to take those damned poisons. For those who are interested, Wolf and her team’s work has been released under the title ‘The Pfizer Papers: Pfizer’s Crimes Against Humanity’. When I checked a moment ago it was available… Read more »
