I encourage you to watch a 1990 movie entitled "Hidden Agenda," starring Frances McDormand and Brian Cox. Much of my ancestry is Irish and this movie is set in Belfast. I didn't catch how government really works the first time I watched the movie, but I did catch it the second time I saw it. It isn't only the British government that works this way. All governments work this way. Once one understands this, the naivete of believing in an honorable government vanishes, and he/she can see what government is really all about.
The movie is not based upon an actual event, but it is based upon a similar event ..., and the inspiration for the movie came from a former MI-5 agent. The movie garnered attention and some uppercrust Brits were not happy with the movie, possibly because it exposed too much truth! As an aside, Kissinger was mentioned, derisively, for his actions in Chile, so there was truth embedded within the movie.
While it had too much gratuitous swearing in it, the 1998 movie, "Enemy of the State" offers a glimpse into the surveillance state in which we live. Now that our personal data housed within various federal agencies, departments, and institutions has been mined under the guise of forming a more efficient government (efficient, Cui Bono), and with the push towards digital/Real IDs and digital "currency," the U. S.-Chinese Social Credit Scoring System is rapidly becoming a reality ..., under #47!
I believe New Zealand is one of the destinations for those who will seek shelter when all Hell breaks loose, a Hell of their making.
