My Take on Truth & Lies in Wanaka

by

By Randall Richards
Below is an audio interview done with Paul Brennan of Reality Check Radio here in New Zealand on the shenanigans going on with an event from the Aspiring Conversations part of Festival of Colour. The event was called “Truth and Lies”, a provocative title. My open-minded friends and I are thinking of creating another festival called Festival or Truth, or something like that, to “take a jab” at the organisers.

It seems we could improve on implementing their vision statement which in part, states: to engage our community and captivate individuals from all walks of life.
We’ll do the whole thing, stage, lights, couches, moderator, glasses of water, but we’ll take questions from the audience (no need to email in ahead of time), cameras and recorders will be allowed, and no bag or phones required to checked in at the gate. No barf bags required for this event. Stay tuned.

One thing I didn’t mention is my previous article, which I thought I’d add here, is the need to compassionately, but firmly, hold people responsible for their actions with consequences, legal, social etc.

Barry Young, our wonderful whistleblower on the data of excess deaths (related to the vaccine here in NZ), told me he’d love to “get into the head of these people and see what makes them tick. Why do they think the way they do?” Coincidently, our speaker at NZ Rising tonight was covering just that topic. David Charalambous, founder of Reaching People, He covered a lot of ground on cognitive dissonance, labels, and adaptive unconsciousness. But more on that in another piece.

Author’s Note: Reality Check Radio is currently off-air. They need more of us to donate to keep operations running. We’ll be posting a shortly on this, but for now, see RCR’s video on the situation.

    Oh, this attack on the community festival is laughable. Broadcasting into an echo chamber of conspiracy and anger. Brilliant.
    You have stated a number of incorrect facts here, not to mention a whole lot of sweeping assumptions, and would you like to qualify your “not an open minded crowd” statement. Would like to see you compete with them on that, ha.
    Hoping you get well soon.

      Hey Laxer,
      Thanks for your comment. How is it laughable? Conspiracy is no longer theory. With all due respect, get back to me after you’ve done some reading. Incorrect facts? Please expound. Again, see above after you’ve done some research into the back story.
      RE: Open-minded crowd, yep, that was probably a bit out of line, but just my take on what I was seeing esp, when the Oohs and Aaahs en masse. It was very Orwellian from my perspective. But your point is taken. Hard to judge an audience just when I’m entering a room.I do trust my gut, but maybe I could have kept that comment out of the piece. No need to compete. It’s not about winning, it’s about getting along, and yes, getting well, otherwise we all sink.
