Stop making Liz Gunn a martyr! + the latest Qanon mass casualty conspiracy

GROAN – what now God?

What new madness is this?

Liz Gunn getting roughed up at Auckland Airport…

Conspiracy theorist Liz Gunn reportedly arrested after melee at Auckland Airport

Former TV host and conspiracy theorist Liz Gunn has reportedly been arrested at Auckland Airport after a melee on Saturday night. 

Gunn and a cameraman had reportedly been attempting to film the arrival of a family who had been kept in lockdown in Tokelau after refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, according to Counterspin Media Facebook posts. 

Police said they were called to the Auckland International Airport at 7:15pm after a report of an assault. 

Police did not name the pair, but confirmed the arrests of a 49-year-old man and a 63-year-old woman.

…ok.

I don’t know ANYTHING about this case, but here is my stab in the dark hot take.

Dear old Liz has rocked up to the Airport to interview some grief stricken family she is parasitically attaching to and emotionally manipulating off and Auckland Airport Security have decided to be staunch dicks and because she wouldn’t have bothered to get permission to film they have gotten all heavy and over the top and she will be screaming she is a journalist.

The up shoot will be dropping the charges because both sides have been dicks but it gives her the chance to sell her ‘investigative journalism’ shtick.

Why are we so hell bent on building these circus freaks into martyrs for the cause?

Unless she was actually harassing someone, Auckland Airport Security should have been far more chill than this, instead they’ve over reacted to her over reacting and it’s all become an embarrassing melee for all involved AS WELL as building her standing amongst the feral antivaxx Qanon fraternity.

I’m old enough to remember Liz Gunn and there was no doubt that in her day she was the mustard. Intelligent, insightful and ruthless, she was the perfect team with Mike Hosking, like an extra pair of jaws for a pack of piranhas.

That she has fallen so deep and so far into the AntiVaxx Rabbit hole is a cautionary tale to us all not to base our understanding of the world from your Facebook feed.

Liz is a Crystal Karen, the middle class new age conspiracy clique who became culturally ostracised by the vaccine mandates. Witchy spirituality magic of fatherless daughters from the first wave of feminism divorce in the 1970s are her sorority.

Like all Crystal Karens, she just needs a big hug from Dad.

Let’s not feed her martyr complex anymore than it currently is. She’s like Bishop Brian Tamaki but with more charm and less leather.

Talking of batshit crazy, currently the feral antivax Qanon freedom voices glee club are claiming on their social media echo bunkers that the Labour Government are secretly covering up 1400 deaths and storing the bodies at a secret morgue.

Why the Christ we would hide 1400 dead is never explained, but most perplexing is the how, there is just no way in New Zealand any organisation could hide 1400 bodies without 1400 angry families demanding to know where their whanau are.

The idea that the State are secretly hiding casualties from Cyclone Gabrielle is so disconnected from any understanding of process it’s flat earth, fake moon landing level conspiracy stuff and yet there is a willing audience who are so twisted with animosity towards Jacinda that anything that reeks of Deep State crimes against humanity are immediately leapt upon with all the passion of a drug addict finding a baggie down the couch.

It’s almost a mental illness now that provokes a violent explosion of untempered rage.

We have been so much more damaged psychologically as a people from the Covid response and the anxiety generated by losing the certainty modernity flawlessly creates.

This has demanded answers from our lived experience too deep for our shallow existence.

The only guarantee is there will be far more trauma before we find the answer.
