James Cameron Moving to New Zealand (He's Their Problem Now)

Timothy Birdnow

Don't let the door hit you where God split you on the way out Mr. Cameron.

THE VACCINATOR: COVID-crazy James Cameron leaves US for lockdown-loving New Zealand

Oh, I think you mean New Zealand is LESS sane than the U.S., not more.

Yes, director James Cameron is fleeing the U.S. for the increasingly repressive New Zealand because, like, they know how to deal with Covid and stuff.

From the Blaze:

From there, the filmmaker began boasting about New Zealand's lockdowns for COVID-19, praising the country's enforcement.

"New Zealand was — they had eliminated the virus completely. They actually eliminated the virus twice," Cameron claimed. "The third time when it showed up in a mutated form, it broke through. But fortunately they already had a 98% vaccination rate."

At the time, New Zealand was under the rule of socialist Jacinda Ardern, who ran the government with her Labour Party from 2017 to 2023. The country used a four-level alert system for COVID and spent a whole month under forced confinement except for "essential movement."

Legislation included allowing police to use any "reasonable means including force" to ensure compliance, with punishments up to six months in prison

Boy, that sure sounds lovely, doesn't it! Cameron thinks that is the kind of country he wants to be a part of. I guess he wishes he had been born earlier so he could have been part of the Third Reich or Stalin's Soviet Union. Good times!

Frankly a dude who makes movies about big blue chicks who copulate with their pony tails has to have several screws loose.

After bloviating about how anti-science the U.S. is (and of course I doubt he knows jack about the actual science involved, doubt he understands that it was nothing but official GOVERNMENT scientists who pushed the vax and the lockdowns and all the rest and that science has since proven the vaccine did little to nothing to protect the populace and in fact made many healthy people sicker) he went on to say he's not moving to New Zealand for the beauty of it but for "the sanity". So it's sane to lock a whole nation up under penalty of imprisonment and allow the police to beat someone up and maybe shoot them over a friggin COLD virus! Whose head is it that's not screwed on properly?

OF COURSE Cameron is a Vegan and from Canada.

The article concludes with Cameron speaking about his veganism:

Seemingly not wanting his podcast to spiral out of control, Bensinger added, "but New Zealand is just stunningly beautiful."

"I'm not there for the scenery. I'm there for the sanity," Cameron reaffirmed.

The interview then shifted to Cameron's farm and his veganism, with the 71-year-old explaining that he grows organic, farm-to-table vegetables for local businesses.

"I don't personally have a problem with GMO per se," Cameron said about his growing techniques. "Other than when you start to couple it with these chemical pesticides and herbicides into an integrated system, it's actually opening the door to a lot of chemistry that shouldn't be in our ... bodies," he said unironically.

Defending his veganism, Cameron concluded that if everyone was "100% plant-based," not only would humanity live with a much smaller "carbon footprint," but the environment and wildlife would be in much better shape."

Meat is what made us human. Our ancestors were vegans, swinging from trees and flinging poop at each-other. It was when we started eating meat that we began to evolve; we lost all the big digestive organs in favor of small ones that could process far less plant matter, and we started having to cook most of our food, externalizing the digestive process. We ate meat which gave us far more protein and fat and other things we couldn't possibly get from plant matter with our limited digestive systems. In return we grew our brains and our brains made us better hunters and we eventually developed agriculture and animal husbandry. We began walking on two legs so we could better see when hunting (just as bears do). This freed our hands to better use tools. We lost the big canine teeth and developed flattened molars which aided us in speech. With more calories from eating meat we lost a lot of our body hair as it was no longer needed to keep us warm. Less hair meant less waste of protein and metabolic energy. All of these thibgs happened because a desperate ancestor, starving tto death, decided he would rather eat an aardvark or whatnot rather than starve.

I guess Cameron never watched 2001: a Space Odyssey.

Reverting to veganism is going to revert us to our simian ancestry and we will devolve. That's why so many vegans and vegetarians are such moonbats; they don't have what they need to actually think properly. They are neotonous, throwbacks to an earlier age.

Cameron clearly is. He thinks an authoritarian state is preferable to using your own judgment and thinking for yourself.

And if he's worried about his "carbon footprint" might I suggest he not walk through ashes or coal deposits. Other than that our use of carbon is entirely natural and actually is a boon for all life on this planet as it gives plants what they need.

BTW I've never liked any of Cameron's films; they are all childish and usually knock-offs from other stuff. Aliens was a lousy sequel to Alien. The Terminator was interesting for special effects but the story line was a rehash of many science fictions stories before it, and largely made no sense as the terminators could have murdered any of John Connor's ancestors and accomplished the same thing as killing his mother. I thought Titanic was lame; the actual story of the ship was more than enough, but he had to muck it up with a tired cliche'd tale of class warfare and the "working class hero" nonsense that infected the Progressive era for a century. Oh, and the love story was just boring and stilted. And of course nobody was going to waste time holding the kid there in his cabin until the ship almost sunk; priorities change when it's life or death. The movie stunk.

I just watched Rambo, First Blood Part II and that too stunk of dead fish.

I've never seen Avatar but have zero interest in it.

Cameron is a first rate special effects guy but at most a mediocre director and filmmaker who has always been the beneficiary of political correctness. Without that he would just be another struggling independent filmmaker.

At any rate I'm glad the Hoser is leaving the U.S. We don't need dufi like him.

1 So Cameron's a big COVID vax guy, eh? Then I don't suppose he'd appreciate the meme I have on my phone.

It says "What's the difference between Pfizer and Kyle Rittenhouse?" And the answer is "Rittenhouse's 3 shots worked."

Of course, it helps if you remember back to Rittenhouse's 15 minutes of fame...

2 Heh! Good one Dana!
I just read something about Rittenhouse. He's suing someone, I think Whoopie Goldberg, for slander. Good for him!
