The vitriol directed towards Trump by virtually every element of the NZ media is, quite simply, disgusting. But perhaps even worse than that is the acceptance and regurgitation of this venom by so, SO many New Zealanders who, by doing so, reveal their stupidity and total inability to think for themselves. What the (expletive) happened to New Zealand?

Agree completely ... they've all been literally brainwashed by the MSM here. It's very depressing.

Nothing happened to them Steve. They, like probably still 98% of humanity, continue to trust "The Media" and "The Government" ... And as Joshua Reynolds observed back in the 18th Century: "There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking."

Here's a thought for you; "Repent" by one Don Wilson, LLB, which I reposted. On the face of it, has nothing to do with New Zealand or New Zealanders.

Excellent writing on a sad, painful situation. Good, decent people are oblivious to the shallow veneer of respectability covering up the corruption- hypnotised by a shallow, silly media and the political, economic and military lies. God help us all. Thank you so much NZDoc

And thank you for reading and responding . Your term 'shallow's is very much to the point and explains a very great deal.

Here-here. As you rightly point out, this election result affects NZ citizens big time too. Fingers crossed the shear amount of Trump votes out numbers the fake votes. If not, citizens may have to resort to their fundamental obligation to preserve a real democracy.

As the US goes, so goes the world, it seems. Not lately a very deserved situation, unless of course we clean house. Hope and suspense. We will have te see how it goes. You are right. Here’s hoping.

Beautiful Dr Manny as ever, thank you for this intensely powerful, spiritual and inspirational article. To me it seems a universal consciousness will determine whether our species is ready to make and cherish a new peaceful and well human planet. I sense it's happening, one way or another, and your energies are part of this transcendence. Love and gratitude, Alan

It kind of hit me just now…I know the media in NZ are very corrupt! But to be as corrupt as they are…they must be actively part of the deep state…like most of our politicians are…I think I’ve known this these past few years but now it’s showing me in big red neon lights…Jack Tame must be a wee bit worried ….😦….maybe!!

Thanks Doc for your article ….comforts me at this time! 🙏

Thank you so much, Robyn ... I think you've nailed it, because there is a Deep State faction that transcends national borders and is world-wide. The NZ mainstream media are its tool. I am happy to have provided some comfort.

As history unhappily shows, a pilgrim's life is fraught with travails both before and after the long voyage.

Hopefully, in 2025, Trump will be inaugurated as our next Presinent. However, regardless of the good he will do while in office, nothing can clean this globe's Augean Stables.

I think we have to start somewhere and recognize that it will be a long process -- maybe Hercules can help out?

Hmmmmmm ..... I guess you have to fight them with their own methods at times? In the future all voting should be by paper ballot, one day, period, simple.

How many life long or publicly declared supporters of the Dems are now "all in" with the Repubs? You said it yourself NZD but you end up disappointed, naievity. It's the whack over the back of the head you just didn't see. If the big fella doesn't get in, he & others will be taken into custody @ some point ( can't have another insurrection can we) to save, not the republic but "democracy". It's their catch-cry. America sneezes & the whole world catches a cold. I get it but it's band-aid solutions,imo.

Agreed and enjoyed your commentary and with the election decided tonight, I was so happy that Trump won. Truly, truly happy, for the 1st time in 4 years I think my kids may have a future worth looking forward to if Trump can deliver what I hope he has been given a mandate to do. But like many other kiwis who have commented here, the naivety of so many kiwis beggars belief, people are ignorant and just believe the MSM crap and I can't understand how so many older Kiwis are so blind to the realities of what the WEF, and UN with the Pact for the future and WHO policies mean for the world. People need to wake up and realize precisely what's at stake in Democratic Western " free" societies and that the freedoms we enjoy are seriously at risk. Trump is really the only one in the way now of that cabal of vile entities masquerading as forces of good from doing their damndest. Thanks for your column, keep it coming.....

Mike, thank you. I just heard the news and I can't describe how relieved I feel. I've been saying for the past four years that we need a break, we need an outsider to drive a wedge into the globalist agenda. I will sleep with a smile tonight and I hope you do too. Thanks for your excellent comment.

Thank you so much for this. I totally agree with your analysis. Sad times we are living. And after reading other essays it is hard to beleive election fraud appears so easy (common?) in US. I can see the real objective of this massive recent migration, much of it in swing states : illegal votes for the Dems who orchestrated it?

I hope not.

But there is hope in good people and God help us

Here in Canada it remains (so we beleive - and for how long?) harder to fraud an election as you must vote in person with proof of identity & residence.

Well written. Back in 2016. After chatting to USA consultant on daily basis my opinion about Trump changed. Her positive comments about Trump revealed the complete opposite to what MSM was spouting. I am a forever Trumper now too.

“These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”

So Tom Paine famously said in 1776. This is another pivotal point in American history. We’ll know soon enough which way it turns.

I forced myself to listen to RNZ this morning and it was the usual diatribe against Trump and pro Kamala. Since when did RNZ so blatantly spew out such CIA propaganda? Patently the CIA are very concerned about an actual Trump victory and the speeches by both Tucker Carlson and RFK Jr. were sinking the boot into both CIA and FBI. My fear is that the CIA will have fifth columnists and agents provocateur to riot - irrespective of who is declared winner. Just as England provoked Civil War in Ireland in 1922 (then installed their puppet), martial law and a military coup are on the script.

Well said. This really is the last chance to deal with the US issues that are destroying us all: #BigWar (the Military Industrial Complex)), #Big Food, and #BigPharma. A great team has coalesced around Trump who could quickly make real inroads into dismantling those complexes, including those you mentioned plus others - like Thomas Massie and Ron Paul (and probably Rand Paul).

And while they all (except Thomas Massie) have voiced pro-zionist sympathies - seemingly a requirement for survival in the US electoral system - none have shown any prediliction for being actively responsible for bombing babies and supporting other obvious war crimes. So my guess is that team would find some way to force Israel into a cease fire at a minimum. (Whereas we have already experienced what Harris would do over the past year - wring her hands and send more bombs.) And the war in Ukraine would stop too.

If the Unity Team don't win this week I think the whole world is in very serious trouble, not just the US. WW3 is just around the corner, along with famine (caused by the crazy "climate change" attacks on farmers plus geoengineering world wide) and more pandemics. The four horsemen are readying their mounts. Let's hope the US votes to lock them in the stable.

Many thanks for your post. I am not a US citizen but I like you found the anatagonism to Trump by the media frankly bizarre. Having intially thought he was as bad as the rest now see him as playing a long game for what is truly right.

I have done recent posts on the election situation and just how insane the Democrats have become.
