2023 deaths are 25% above normal – but are hidden from the public. Most New Zealanders are unaware that their chances of dying increased by a quarter because their country’s press is silent on excess deaths. The silence and lack of public awareness are not accidental: the government is intensifying its crackdown on social networks and the media.

This June, the NZ government revealed its initiative for “Safer Online Services and Media Platforms.”

Anyway, I am not a citizen of New Zealand, so I cannot tell that country how to govern itself.  What I can say, however, is that I am very sorry for the fine citizens of that remote land, who lost their constitutional protections, are dying at excessive rates, are largely unaware of the danger they are in, and have a government more interested in hiding the truth from the population and awarding highest honors to its members.
