Jacinda Ardern: The Smile That Signed Away Rights
Compassion Framed, Coercion Delivered
Appearing progressive · Governing with coercion · Leaving behind a legacy of betrayal

"As days pass by and more corruption is exposed, more people demand justice against New Zealand’s former Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern." – Ukes Baha
The gravity of the transgressions attributed to Jacinda Ardern — including violations of fundamental human rights, the revered Bill of Rights, and the principles of international law — leaves no room for hesitation. The time has now arrived for her to confront the scales of justice without delay and answer for her unlawful actions.
“No longer had enough in the tank… It’s that simple,” Ardern said upon her sudden resignation on 19 January 2023. She claimed to have no future plans beyond spending time with her family. However, it is not as simple as she puts it — and that has become increasingly evident over time. Her resignation appears to have been a political manoeuvre to temporarily escape accountability. At the heart of the matter lies a crucial moment in which Jacinda Ardern must account for her damaging actions. The severity of the violations leaves no room for delay, as more and more people demand justice.
Hoping for a renewed sense of justice and a reaffirmation of the principles that underpin our society, an increasing number of people are calling for Jacinda Ardern’s prosecution due to her harmful and unlawful actions.
Major Allegations
1. Coercion and Lockdown Enforcement
- Coercion: Disturbing reports have emerged, indicating that her administration resorted to coercion to enforce compliance and stifle dissent. Such actions infringe upon the basic rights and freedoms of individuals, undermining their autonomy and right to express opinions freely.
- Lockdown Enforcement: It is alleged that Jacinda Ardern, in her role of authority, implemented and enforced strict lockdown measures without adequate legal justification. She admitted that it was not legal at first — but later made it legal. However, despite eventual legality, the measures remained unlawful for a variety of reasons. These included disproportionate restrictions on personal freedoms, including limitations on movement and assembly.
2. Discrimination and Segregation
- Discrimination: Reports suggest systemic discrimination under Jacinda Ardern’s leadership. Individuals were targeted and treated unfairly based on their lockdown cooperation or vaccination status, undermining the principles of equality, justice, and non-discrimination.
- Cruel, Inhuman, and Degrading Treatment: Engagement in or tolerance of practices causing physical or psychological harm, including cruelty, inhumane treatment, and punitive isolation.
- Discrimination (Repeated Pattern): Systematic and institutionalised discrimination based on personal submission, vaccination status, or other protected characteristics — breaching basic principles of equality and the right to dissent.
3. Suppression of Speech and Privacy Violations
- Freedom of Speech: Suppression of free speech and public expression through censorship of dissenting voices, restrictions on public discourse, and the targeting of individuals for their opinions.
- Right to Privacy: Invasion of personal privacy via surveillance, unauthorised data collection, and unwarranted monitoring of individuals without due process.
- Arbitrary Detention: Unjustified detentions without proper legal process, bypassing due legal safeguards and undermining habeas corpus protections.
4. Degrading Treatment of Citizens
- Degrading Treatment: Troubling accounts have surfaced suggesting that individuals were subjected to degrading treatment under her administration. Such treatment violates human dignity and decency and contradicts the principles of international human rights.
Global Figures Connected to COVID-Era Corruption
The people, organisations, and officials involved in the global COVID-19 pandemic response have increasingly been found to be connected to unlawful practices and corruption. Notable figures include:
- Dr. Anthony Stephen Fauci – Former Director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). He resigned in 2022 amid a GOP-led investigation. During questioning, Senator Roger Marshall highlighted Fauci's 2020 annual salary of $434,000 — the highest of any federal employee — and his control over $5 billion in federal research grants. Allegations include financial corruption, deception, and unethical research oversight.
- Bill Gates – Implicated in multiple historical controversies including sexual misconduct, questionable computing monopolies, global vaccine policies, and population control theories. He is known to have been associated with Jeffrey Epstein, who was prosecuted for sex trafficking and child exploitation. Gates’s foundation — the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — has faced legal scrutiny and settlements across multiple countries.
- Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus – Director-General of the World Health Organisation (WHO). Publicly stated he had not taken the COVID-19 vaccine as an act of protest, saying: “I was protesting — in other words,” and questioning how he could receive the vaccine when much of Africa had not. Despite his role in overseeing global vaccine policy, this statement raised deep ethical concerns.
- Albert Bourla – CEO of Pfizer. Publicly urged immediate vaccination while reportedly not taking the vaccine himself during initial rollout. On 16 December 2020, CNBC reported that Bourla and other Pfizer executives "would not cut the line" and would wait. Later, Pfizer paid a record $2.3 billion court settlement for fraud. This included a $1.195 billion criminal fine — the largest in US history.
These individuals represent a pattern of power, influence, and evasion of accountability. Jacinda Ardern's participation in the global COVID-era governance model — where unelected experts, corporate partners, and government actors bypassed public scrutiny — must be examined with equal seriousness.

Documentary Cover-Up: Ardern’s Whitewash of Her Record
In the January 2025 YouTube report by Michael Laws, Jacinda Ardern’s Sundance documentary was exposed as a carefully crafted image-polishing project. Laws noted that the film uses home footage and personal interviews to present Ardern as an emotional, well-meaning leader — yet it completely avoids the documented harm of her COVID-era decisions.
Laws reported that the documentary portrays Ardern’s opponents as “antivax extremists” or conspiracy theorists, refusing to acknowledge that her leadership was rejected by the general public — not just by a fringe minority. In his words, the real reason for her sudden resignation was the growing public backlash and the Labour Party’s internal recognition that they could not win the next election.
The documentary’s whitewash narrative — of Ardern as a selfless, empathetic leader — is thus exposed as a cover for what Laws describes as her true record:
- Policies that created social division, economic hardship, and a two-tier system of rights based on vaccination status
- A refusal to acknowledge dissent as legitimate, branding all opponents as extremists
- A reliance on a compliant media environment, which Laws said never confronted her about the real damage done
Laws’s critique also highlighted that Ardern’s supposed “resignation for family” was a political tactic to avoid facing direct public accountability. He pointed out that her calm, polished image was possible only because no New Zealand journalist or media outlet challenged her while in office — a silence later confirmed by Winston Peters, who admitted that the media was financially incentivised to support Ardern’s narrative and avoid real scrutiny.
In sum, Laws argued that Ardern’s documentary is less a historical account and more a brand-management exercise — designed to keep her legacy intact and distract from the real consequences of her leadership.
“She didn’t resign because she was tired — she resigned because she was rejected. This documentary is just her last act of control.” – Michael Laws
This exposure highlights a crucial truth: we do not have real journalism anymore — only corporate branding and bought loyalty. As Winston Peters alleged, Jacinda Ardern’s administration bribed the media with direct funding to secure their compliance. That’s why we must rely on independent voices — YouTubers, amateur reporters, and citizen investigators — not just mainstream channels easily captured by money and power.
Confirmed Violations and Systemic Abuses
Jacinda Ardern’s resignation speech claimed she had “no longer enough in the tank” to govern. But the evidence shows it was not exhaustion — it was an exit strategy. She herself admitted that the initial lockdown orders were unlawful — yet she enforced them anyway, later rewriting the law to fit the policy, not the people.
Her administration enforced strict lockdowns, implemented arbitrary detention, and subjected citizens to degrading treatment — all without proper legal safeguards. Discrimination became systemic, with those unvaccinated or critical of the lockdown regime singled out for punishment or exclusion.
These abuses are not just historical. They reveal a deliberate governance model: one where surveillance, data collection, and controlled media were used to silence dissent, not protect health. Under Jacinda’s watch, the boundaries of privacy were erased and the principles of human rights set aside.
These violations align with a broader global pattern: figures like Fauci, Gates, and Bourla — all connected to pandemic-era abuses of power and secrecy. Jacinda did not stand alone. She stood with them — and in doing so, she placed private interest and global alignment above New Zealand’s constitutional integrity.
Jacinda Ardern: Groomed, Packaged, and Sold as Celebrity
In New Zealand’s political landscape, leaders are not merely chosen — they are cultivated, groomed, and branded to create the illusion of choice. Jacinda Ardern was no exception. From the start, she was marketed not just as a politician, but as a global icon — a symbol of youth, compassion, and a supposedly modern New Zealand. Yet beneath the gloss was the same machinery that always runs: a system that distracts, divides, and uses public perception as a tool of power.
Ardern’s appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in 2018 shows how this spectacle is engineered. She was not there to defend policies or debate principles — she was there as a carefully staged product. Colbert’s interview highlighted her status as a young, modern leader, a mother in office, and even a down-to-earth “Hobbit,” wrapping New Zealand’s identity into a pop-culture moment. She played her part well, charming and disarming — but there was no scrutiny, no challenge to her policies, and no mention of her future alignment with global interests and coercive mandates.
The performance was not unique to her — it was a demonstration of how celebrity politics now works. In a world where elections are no longer enough, leaders are turned into brands. Ardern’s branding worked: she became a celebrity prime minister, celebrated not for her policies but for her persona. Her popularity swelled beyond traditional Labour supporters, creating a fan base that was loyal not to a party or a policy — but to the image of Jacinda itself.
This image-building was not innocent. It was part of a broader project: to create a global icon who could later sell the most aggressive policies under the cover of compassion. The same polished smile she showed on the Colbert stage would later be used to enforce lockdowns, silence dissent, and brand the unvaccinated as enemies of progress. A carefully groomed persona of kindness, used to front an increasingly authoritarian governance model.
Many New Zealanders saw through the act. Despite the glow of global media, Ardern’s re-election was driven by manufactured loyalty and a captured media landscape — as Winston Peters later alleged, bribed to avoid real questions. Those who challenged her were dismissed as fringe voices — but they were the only ones left asking the questions that mainstream outlets refused to touch.
This is not just about Jacinda. It is about a system that grooms and elevates leaders who serve its ends, not the people’s. Her story is a lesson in how democracy can be hijacked by PR — how celebrity is used to distract, divide, and disguise the real business of power.
“We don’t just have elections — we have manufactured celebrities. Jacinda was no exception; she was the product of a system designed to distract and divide.” – Ukes Baha
Jacinda Ardern: The Staged Ascent and the Dishonest Exit
From the beginning, Jacinda Ardern was no ordinary politician. She was built up as a tireless, accessible leader: visible at every event, staying in office during her pregnancy — the first New Zealand leader to do so — and even taking her baby to the United Nations, a global PR move that no previous leader had attempted. She faced down crises, from the Christchurch terror attack to the pandemic lockdowns, all while maintaining an image of calm compassion and unwavering commitment.
But when she resigned suddenly in January 2023, she claimed she “no longer had enough in the tank” to do the job. It was a carefully chosen phrase — one last script — to distract from the reality of a well-managed exit that served the same system that groomed her in the first place. To the last minute, she left with a lie: portraying herself as exhausted rather than admitting the growing rejection by the public and the orchestrated nature of her leadership.
Her sudden departure was not a matter of fatigue — it was a seamless transition of power designed to protect the brand, not the people. Only her most loyal fans were surprised; for others, it was the final confirmation that Ardern was always a creation of the system — a leader who would do everything to maintain her image and then slip away quietly when the questions became too real.
In the end, her carefully curated image could not withstand the weight of the contradictions it was built on. And as she walked away, the stage was cleared for the next face of the same machine.
“They built her up as tireless and selfless — but she left as soon as the questions came. The exit was no break; it was the final act of control.” – Ukes Baha
