Kia Ora and good day to you all - I have been away from the radio for a while because of the need to rest and do the usual recharge - but also take in information to build my knowingness as well as rekindle the fire of my innermost interior - you know ... as in keeping my flame healthily glowing.

As you very well know with Covid surrounding us - we now live in a tumultuous world we have found ourselves in. To us living here in Nuclear Free New Zealand - we have never experienced as a whole country such turmoil - though when the Christchurch earthquakes hit 10 years ago, our Christchurch kin - suffered thousands of after-shocks for years that were psychologically traumatising for the people of that city and local surroundings.

Today we are nearing the anniversary of the first Covid lockdown on the 28th of March of last year and then just last week for those on the East Coast and the North of New Zealand - we experienced the real threat of a tsunami shake us out of bed - to rapidly move to higher ground - this has increased the daily psychological pressure on our nation's people - like never before since mobilising hundreds of thousands and sending many off to war back in 1940 to 1945.

So as of this moment countrywide we are on lockdown 1 and with only Auckland City in lockdown two.

And as of 6 March 2021, New Zealand has had a total of 2,398 cases (2,042 confirmed and 356 probable. 26 people have died from the virus, with cases recorded in all twenty district health boards. However, we need to question how did all areas of NZ come into contact with Covid? But there is also a larger question and that of the 26 deaths in a country of less than 5 million - this represents an exceptionally tiny fraction - percentage-wise.

Deaths: .0005% ; cases 0.04945%  AND NO FLU STATS.

Now with Covid, I want to ask - why no babies, no infants, no children, and teenagers dying of covid? - we need to revisit this question as to why are the young ones not as susceptible as the aged? Because, are not babies more vulnerable than most people as they have yet to build up their immune system? Naturally, I trust that in doing so, that healthy Mothers will nurture with their own milk - giving healthy sustenance to their babies. Yes, I also know of the pesticides, herbicides and fungicides that are ubiquitous in our food chain - yes glyphosate too and anxiety medications - but this is another topic for another time ... yet there are so many questions around Covid that need explaining - we are noticing that  ... we can see so many urgent questions and pressure points squeezing our community.

I note that within the NZ Government and Health Department Covid briefings on TV, I have never heard them encourage healthy eating and drinking practices. Like to obtain vitamin D from walks out in the sun and like taking in plenty of Vitamin C tablets every day. And there are excellent prices of $20 for 2 months supply. That to encourage us that citrus and fresh fruit and vegetables need to be eaten - which begs the question why does this government not take off GST from fruit and vegetables - like in Australia. Does not the NZ Government want a healthy, self-reliant and resilient workforce and population in general?    Strange is it not?  

Also, why are the health authorities not encouraging the intake of fresh vital water that has not been sanitised by chlorine or with the addition now of fluoride? Notice that the current Labour government is pushing for chlorination of all water as well as fluoridation - nationwide.

What's the hurry? Especially when it was only recently in Christchurch that the top Canterbury public health official, Dr. Alistair Humphrey has been sacked and is taking legal action against the District Health Board. It was he who fought against chlorinating (sanitising) the city's freshwater supplies. Saying all residents could have been forced to drink treated water, had it not been for him fighting the proposal for blanket chlorination.

He also criticised the Ministry of Health for saying they could not do mass vaccination of Canterbury residents. 

So you can see that there are battles on numerous fronts within local government in New Zealand with regard to the health and wellbeing of our country's inhabitants.

Thus with Covid we have found ourselves engulfed in an asymmetric, hybrid psychological world war - totally foreign to the human condition.
