Everybody has a story.
LibertyBites is run by a couple of no-longer-able-to-shoot-weddings wedding and portrait photographers, Paul and Jessica Jones, now capturing the humanity behind some of our countries most pressing issues.
One by one we came; from our farms, our salons, our surgeries. Having been banished from society, from our jobs, and from those we loved - we came together to stand in front of parliament and declare that we saw them. We saw their cowardice and their unjustified harshness and we would not allow ourselves to be locked away and silenced anymore.
Together we are stronger.
Thank you Lynda from the Health Forum for everything you do, you're an incredible inspiration to the rest of us!
This image was taken weeks ago, so I expect the stats will be even more troubling.
Keep speaking. If you would like to feature in our new initiative The MULTITUDE Project, please get in touch! We're here to tell your stories.
We will not be silent.
We want to hear your story.
Announcing our new initiative - The MULTITUDE Project!
It’s time for the multitude to be given a voice.
The damage done to everyday kiwis is extensive and their stories deserve to be heard, in their own words, with empathy and understanding.
Those who created these issues need to know that we will not forget what they’ve done, and we will never let it happen again.
Why The Multitude Project?
While much of the population think we might be somewhat back to normal in New Zealand, there are still many people deeply affected by what has happened in the last couple of years, whether it be physically, emotionally or professionally.
Many businesses and institutions are still mandating their employees, including the health sector. People have lost loved ones due to medical interventions, suicides and a crumbling health system. Some people can no longer work due to injuries.
Families have been torn apart. Many people could not be with loved ones as they took their final breath, many couldn’t travel to or attend funerals, weddings or Christmas.
Our Aim:
We are creating a series of images of everyday kiwis who have told their story on a simple whiteboard. These can be either face shown, or anonymous.
Join the chorus! Submit your story to the website (link below) and let us get your voices heard!
Are we done standing up? Or are there more voices to be heard?
A deeply personal post, for a change, about a public issue many of us have experienced. A story told in screenshots.
This is the story of how an entirely unrelated group of individuals minding their own business and doing exactly as they've always done became public enemy #1.
Please spend some time with this post because I feel like it's extremely important to understand how quickly and easily this can happen TO ANYONE.
Sure, this time it was people who chose to not inject their bodies with an experimental drug. It can just as easily happen to people who do/don't eat meat, have certain religious or sexual persuasions or who just stand up against whatever the government deems as the latest thing.
For me, personally, it's been a harrowing couple of years. I've watched as friends and family turned against me, my business was targeted and boycotted, we lost much needed income and almost our business entirely. I was even kept away from my Dad in the rest home. All because I refused to take the experimental jab my life was turned upside-down. An injection that is now accepted as not actually doing much of what they said it did.
I watched as those around me either caved to the pressure, saying they had "places to be", or stayed silent and flew under the radar hoping their vax status wouldn't be discovered. I sat and cried with people who have been injured, and I have collected literally hundreds of stories of those hurt by the jab, many of whom were left hung out to dry and ignored, even though they 'took it for the team'. Turns out the 'team' don't play nice.
All the while the media labeled the unjabbed as hateful granny killers, quite openly so, and much of NZ went along with it. The hate was intense, and very VERY real.
Now each day more and more evidence is coming to light that the jab was harmful to so many people, and they knew it - because we certainly did. Many of you, my friends, told me your own stories. You knew. You saw it happening right before your eyes.
We were right to be cautious of an injection we didn't need. Younger people, in particular, had almost no threat from the virus. There was no need to force it, but they did force it, and hard. Why?
Someone told me yesterday that I'm still in grief over what has happened, and I think they might be right. What's happened has been traumatising, but I refuse to be silent, and in retrospect I wish I had done more.
These images are just screenshots I took over the last year or so. Please notice how the narrative changes in the media as time progresses. There was never a "I'm sorry we were wrong", they just kept changing the story, bit by bit. No fact checker ever pulled them up, from what I've noticed, even when what they claimed was clearly false.
Interesting.
I'm not claiming I've been right about everything, but I sure as heck have been more right than the media/govt.
If you find yourself in the near future being encouraged to turn on someone you didn't previously think was a problem, please consider the source. They know how to play us, and they've done it very well.
It's not even about us, it's about the next generation, and the one after that.
Thank you to everyone who continues to speak up, even though it may cost you so very much. It's still not over, is it?
What were all these white crosses for?
Because we can't stay silent.
We're not giving up.
Now that the mandates have dropped, can all our nurses go back to work? What is your experience?
Keep speaking out, it's not over yet.
How many stories like this are there?
Freedom for the next generation.
Not a 'river of filth'.
Be kind, right?
At no point in history have the people forcing others into compliance been the good guys.
These people were not a river of filth, they were just begging to be heard.
Thank you to everyone who has stayed the course, stood up for themselves and their loved ones. If you've made your voice heard with the thousands who protested, or simply had a quiet conversation with a friend, THANK YOU.
One step in the right direction today. Is it enough, what do you think?
Back in the day when you could catch a virus by walking in through the wrong side of the sliding door.
Remember when some kids weren't allowed to play sport because they didn't take a medicine? That can never happen again.
A tragedy is unfolding. Keep standing. Keep talking.
He's not alone. Let our unvaxed healthcare workers come back to work, unvaxed visitors into the country, and how about an apology while you're at it?
I've created an account on Instagram as well, if that's your jam, head on over and join the team there!

Strong people stand up for themselves. Stronger people stand up for others.
Unjustified, unfair and completely illogical. End all mandates immediately.
We have to do this together.
Fully qualified nurses and doctors are still mandated out of healthcare. End all mandates immediately.
Freedom over fear.
We are free.

A Nation Divided One week on.
Tears of our nation. 2 March, 2022
Hey guys, it’s Jess here from LibertyBites. We are heading back to wellington to gather more of your stories. We believe there are many stories that need to be told, many voices that deserve to be heard. So on Tuesday and Wednesday we’ll be there and I’ll have my trusty whiteboards ready for your stories. Want to join the chorus? Here are 4 ways to get involved: 1. Find us, grab a whiteboard and write down your story. I’d love to know how the mandates have affected you. Have you lost your job? Is your family divided? Have you been injured by a ‘certain’ medical procedure? Struggling get an exemption? The stories can be non-dramatic or dramatic, it all counts. I want the everyday Joe to see himself in the stories, and maybe we’ve got a chance to get through. 2. Calling creatives! Particularly musicians and singers. Do you have music we could use for upcoming projects? Having the right music is crucial. Particularly inspiring, uplifting and uniting type ditties. Do you have a beautiful version of the National Anthem? Drop me a note and let’s collaborate. 3. Finances. I only mention this because we’ve been asked. We’re running this thing on a shoestring, and that’s ok, but we’ll only keep going as the means allows. If you’d like to contribute let me know and I’ll send you our bank account. 4. Prayer. If praying is your jam, we’d really appreciate prayers for wisdom and protection. Our aim is to share as many stories as possible, hopefully opening eyes and hearts along the way. Peace and Love Jess x
