Immigration minister incites violence
The Guardian reportage is predictably disgusting.
The anti-trans activist known as Posie Parker has cancelled further events and reportedly left New Zealand after chaotic and at times violent protests ended her planned appearance in Auckland.
The label “anti-trans” is of course intended to make readers think she’s a big meanie to trans people. She’s not “anti-trans”; she’s opposed to the ideology that says men are women if they say they are, and she’s in favor of women’s rights. She defends women’s rights against the hostility and usurpation of trans ideology.
Keen-Minshull’s appearance in New Zealand had been highly controversial before her arrival. An earlier appearance in Australia had been attended and supported by white supremacist groups, who marched the streets, repeatedly performing the Nazi salute.
Wink wink nudge nudge. That was her fault you know.
A number of LGBTQ+ rights groups had pushed for New Zealand’s immigration authorities to deny her entry to the country, on the grounds that she posed a threat to public order. On Friday, New Zealand’s high court ruled that the decision to allow Keen-Minshull entry to the country was lawful.
The immigration minister, Michael Wood, said in a statement on Friday: “Like many New Zealanders I would prefer it if Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull never set foot in New Zealand. I find many of her views repugnant, and am concerned by the way in which she courts some of the most vile people and groups around, including white supremacists.
In other words “I can’t keep the bitch out but do your best to make her regret it.”
“I condemn her inflammatory, vile and incorrect worldviews,” Wood said, however, he had consulted with Immigration New Zealand and concluded that the “case does not meet the threshold for Ministerial intervention”.
Shorter Michael Wood: “I hate women.”
The protest and counter-protest on Saturday was violent and chaotic. The Green party co-leader Marama Davidson, who was demonstrating in support of trans rights, was hit by a motorcycle at a pedestrian crossing.
A convoy of motorcyclists had appeared at the protest in support of Keen-Minshull. Davidson required medical attention after the incident, but was not hospitalised. The party confirmed on Saturday that Davidson had reported an incident to police, saying: “It appears a motorcyclist failed to stop at a pedestrian crossing and Marama was knocked to the ground.”
The Guardian reports that but says not one word about the assault on Keen-Minshull.
In a statement on Saturday, Let Women Speak NZ – a group affiliated with Keen-Minshull’s events – said the planned event in Wellington “has been cancelled” on the advice of Keen-Minshull’s security team. Local media reported that she had checked into a flight out of the country from Auckland international airport.
That’s it, that’s all the Graun says – nothing about her mauling by that berserker mob.
Journalistic malpractice.
Such rank dishonesty. It creates polarization. When genuine concerns about documented dangers are constantly presented as bigotry and even fascism, those holding the genuine concerns start to become frustrated.
The Guardian and other TRA’s are all going to have their Nicola Sturgeon moment. They’re going to be amazed at the world outside their bubble.
The way that men in power incite mobs against women, who are merely speaking in favour of keeping the few rights we still have, and face no consequences for that incitement, shows more than anything else that the facts have been DARVO-ed by the Grauniad.
“Men assault women trying to speak about their rights, egged on by immigration minister Michael Wood” is such a straightforward, simple and honest reporting that to twist it the reporter has to add a distorted version of what preceded it.
We’re still being informed by the Grauniad that women’s rights won’t be affected by ceding to the demands of men who claim to be women, so why aren’t we allowed to talk about it in public, and have these politicians explaining to us in words how our rights are safe? Because they’re lying.
If women meeting to discuss our rights is ‘transphobic’, then it follows that they believe that us even having rights is ‘transphobic’, and so their demands ARE endangering those rights, so it is even MORE important to stand up for them.
If women’s rights are ‘anti-trans’, then ‘trans’ demands are anti-women.
The thing that I will reflect on is the absolute look of terror on her face. No one should have to fear for their lives when expressing their beliefs. I did like her comment that “This country is Fucked”. Easy to see who the real monsters are.I hope that the kiwi’s will pay heed because their behaviour doesn’t bode well with all the billionaires being enticed to live in the greatest place to live out the apocalypse
I might add that the motorcycle protest was not in support of KJK. Far from it. It was an entirely separate event at a separate location held by Destiny Church members. Absolutely ant-trans and also anti-feminist for that matter.
