Counterspin respond to Stuff.co.nz hitpiece on Hannah Spierer

Legacy MSM outfit Stuff.co.nz published the hitpiece on 3 September.

The article was titled ‘From potential environmental activist to conspiracy theorist: What happened to Hannah Spierer?‘

It follows on the heels of a series of misfiring targeted hitpieces published by Stuff about candidates in the upcoming local body elections, and the release of the much-maligned documentary ‘Fire & Fury’.

The Spierer article was written by reporter Nadine Porter.

‘WR’ of Counterspin Media responded in a lengthy message posted to the independent media’s Telegram channel yesterday:

In the winter of 2020 at one of Auckland’s first lockdown protests, I met Hannah Spierer. She had seen me speaking in public about the government reaction to covid and asked me for an interview. In the following months we would get to know each other and like other women involved in the anti lockdown movement (who actually outnumbered the men), I was impressed by Hannah’s conviction and found myself in agreement on viewpoints which were clearly the result of independent and critical thought.

Nadine Porter at Stuff, implies that Hannah is simply parroting “right wing conspiracies” as a result of an agreement with her partner Kelvyn Alp.

Well since I met Hannah before she met Kelvyn I can absolutely say that is not the case. Hannah told me how she was formerly a left wing activist and involved with the Greens. We discussed left wing talking points and why they don’t make logical sense; everything from the implications of accepting men can become women to the conflation of real environmental problems such as plastic waste with climate change hysteria which has failed to match any of the models for the last two decades.

I could and still can clearly tell Hannah has come to her conclusions on her own accord. To imply otherwise is to dilute the agency of women, quite sexist of Nadine Porter. Whilst we are on that subject, the overwhelming majority of Jacinda loving kiwis do seem to be highly agreeable, lacking in critical thought and need to be seen as in agreement with the masses more than they value the truth. That is not the spirit I have seen in the women in the freedom movement, who have risked their careers, relationships and social standing in pursuit of the truth. They understand that in hard times, truth is more important than kindness!

Even if the wise people at Stuff, NZ Herald and Newshub, believe the conclusions of those who were and are anti lockdown, anti mask and anti vaccine mandate, to be wrong, can they at least credit people with asking questions? This lack of desire for debate on difficult and sometimes confronting subjects is exactly why many have left the political left. As the left have become less liberal, less inclusive of true intellectual diversity and more censorious, life long lefties ranging from Ricky Gervais to Russel Brand have moved more to the centre/right, in search of free speech at the very least. Millions of former democrats in the US vow never to vote for them again and we all know life long Labour supporters who will certainly not be re-electing Jacinda Ardern!

So are all these people insane, confused, hateful “NAZIS”? Or is this just a logical reaction, a natural equilibrium forming pushback against the tyranny of the modern authoritarian left, who wrap their brutal decrees in soft placating tones. To the soft fakes like Nadine Porter, it would seem that style matters more than substance, at no point does she delve into critiquing left wing philosophies or politics, she simply displays outrage that a woman like Hannah isn’t a feminist. Well even feminists like J K Rowling aren’t feminists today according to the intersectional third wave brand, who claim men who call themselves women should be in women’s prisons, sports and that lesbians who don’t want to date these biological men are “transphobic”.

The truth is, rather than see the deep contradictions implicit in being a modern leftist, Nadine and other basic b$@?’s, simply want us all to be agreeable unthinking minions of the state. Well as Nietzsche said, “madness is rare in individuals but it’s the rule in groups”. The majority of the individuals I’ve met in the freedom movement are good, honest, thinking people whose lives would be easier if they just went along with the herd on every issue. So to suggest we have fiscal motivation to hold the views we do is as false as to say we have social motivation.

As I’m sure Hannah has lost friends over the views she holds, so have I, but we’ve gained insight into ourselves and the mechanisms around us, becoming more socially and self aware all whilst making new and unlikely friendships.

Stuff also hypothesise that Hannah was most likely led to these views by Q, yet in all our conversations I do not recall Q coming up once. Personally I’ve never followed Q, I don’t need to when logic, reason and now studies show the lockdowns caused more harm than they prevented, the vaccines harmed young people who would never have been harmed by covid and so on. If Stuff really wanted to know the source of the reasons for our views they would interview us or better still host a live debate. However they are clearly not interested in such honesty and transparency for their audience, instead they’ll continue to smear and moralise about how bad we are, whilst their “side” continues to destroy the economy, turn women into men and men into undesirable low testosterone creatures resembling Marc Daalder in addition to brainwashing children with Marxist gender theory.

The great thing about the various “anti government” protests of the last two years is how genuinely diverse they are, people young and old, white and brown. At the recent Freedom and Rights protest at Auckland Domain, I noted how the circa 50 “counter protestors” were calling us “fascists”….I said to them, “can you not see the 70% brown faces whilst your side is 95% white middle class Champagne socialists”? The irony was lost on them, these people live in a parallel dimension of denial, they barely venture outside away from Twitter and are truly terrified of Maori, European, Polynesian and everyone else with a functioning independent mind coming together to resist what we can all see is a scary hive mind communist dictatorship in the making. This government need to be held accountable and if the mainstream media refuse to criticise any of the big undemocratic calls this government pushes upon us, then we will- male, female, black or white we will defeat and expose you utter criminals if it’s the last thing we do!
