Film: River of Freedom Goes Online

13/12/2023

This amazing film tells the real story of what really happened during New Zealand’s convoy to Wellington New Zealand’s parliament grounds, and the ensuing protest against mandating those who chose body autonomy. Good work crew! You’ve taken New Zealand by storm. In a recent poll, it was discovered that 30% of the New Zealander’s polled were in favor of the spontaneous convoy of which my family were a part. It was a great homeschooling opportunity. My son got a good education on democracy in action and how the legacy media omits and obfuscates the truth. You can see the film online here.
Special thanks to Meagan (yellow dress) and Director, Gaylene Barnes, (pictured in center) members of our New Zealand Media Collective, for all the work you did getting this film out into theatres and online. Thanks also to the others pictured above.

River of Freedom Documentary Goes Online

17/11/2023

River of Freedom, directed by Gaylene Barnes, has made quite a showing here in New Zealand despite attempts of the film being sidelined by the mainstream press. The team has done a remarkable job getting the films in theatres throughout the country opening to big sold-out audiences in towns large and small. The music in the film features many New Zealand musicians as well as Eric Clapton. My hat’s off to Gaylene and her team. I received this email announcement this morning and thought I’d share it directly:

– – –

We’re so pleased with the success of RIVER OF FREEDOM, which screened in 54 New Zealand cinemas over the past 10 weeks. The feedback has been wonderful! 🥰

If you have been following our social media, you will have noticed that we’ve been inundated with requests from people, here and abroad, wanting to watch the film at home – “Probably the best documentary I’ve ever seen. Very well made and every kiwi should watch it. And yes to buying it digitally or DVD so can play it to family and friends.”

Well, we have an exciting announcement to share…
🎙️ We have an online distributor!!
JOURNEYMAN PICTURES
Journeyman Pictures, a UK-based film distribution company, will be releasing our film online worldwide. Journeyman looks for “the best in factual production”, priding themselves on their collection of films from “award-winning independent filmmakers”.
You and your whānau everywhere can stream
RIVER OF FREEDOM online from mid-December!!!
For more than two decades, Journeyman Pictures have distributed provocative, profound and original factual content, working with the top players in the industry. They pride themselves on the longevity of the documentaries they distribute. We are thrilled to align with this supportive distribution company! They have almost 2.3 million followers, so our reach will be massive. We are encouraged and excited to bring our story of the New Zealand Convoy and Parliament protest to the rest of the world in a few weeks.

From cinemas to online release…
Just to give you a bit of an idea about why it’s taking so long… The Captions take time to transcribe. Lots of time – there’s almost FOUR THOUSAND of them 😵‍💫 with some captions needing translation for our international audience. Kia ora whānau, haere mai, and kotahitanga are just a few! We need to capture all the details for our deaf and hard-of-hearing audiences – cheers, boos, and don’t forget all that honking! Don’t get us started on the rest of the deliverables required 😬 as they say, this is definitely a Labour of Love! ❤️

We have kept the film mostly the same as what we enjoyed in the cinemas, with only a few trims and re-edits in order to expedite the release as fast as possible, and not have to sit back in edit suites and sound mix suites for another three months.

Please reach out to your international friends! And if you have any media or influencer contacts who may be interested in promoting this story? Please let them know. So many people overseas have no idea what happened to us here in New Zealand.
…then Blu-ray for you to share with friends!
We are also working as hard as we can to get this film on Blu-ray and DVD. Once we’ve released online, we’ll be building a hard copy. Director Gaylene Barnes is looking forward to editing up some “Special Features” with magical moments from the convoy and protest days that didn’t quite make it into the feature film. Some clips were very hard to lose, but we couldn’t have a 6hr film (original rough cut!). Can’t wait to see these extra little gems 🫶
Help support our mahi!
A huge amount of work went into finishing this documentary and getting it into cinemas. Thank you to all of our supporters! Without you, this would not have been possible.

Our box office sales have been great, and we are nearly able to pay back some deferred fees and most of our major expenses, thank goodness. If you are able to support our work, please head to buymeacoffee.com/freedomfilm ☕️ primarily to help pay for the expenses of the Blu-ray, DVD and as well a book! We have an amazing writer onboard who is writing up this story plus there is so much more to this story!

Please support our graphic artist who has designed and printed up our merch. Who wouldn’t love a 🎁 bucket hat and tote bag for the summer festival season! Thanks Helen, our Joy Gypsy, @ for making these!

Red Remembrance Day in Wanaka NZ

15/11/2023

November 15th 2021 is a day when “healthcare mandates” were imposed by the Jacinda Ardern government in here in New Zealand, instantly creating a two-tiered society. If one was not vaccinated, one either lost their job, house, visiting and travel rights, or more. Red Remembrance day though, is not a protest, rather is a day of contemplation or remembering those who have been injured or killed by the mRNA vaccine, who have lost jobs or family, or been affected in some way by the past years abuses.

Below are some scenes of yesterday’s event here in Wanaka New Zealand. I’m also publishing NZ Doctors Speaking Out With Science, (Better known as NZDSOS) full 2023 statement as well as Dr. Guy Hatchard’s statement of support. Special thanks to Craig Rizzi, Wanaka’s Voices For Freedom Coordinator for his video captures of the day’s event.

NZDSOS Red Remembrance Day 2023 read by Dr. Mark Edmond Wanaka NZ, Nov 15th

Hello Everyone,
My name is Mark Edmond, and I’m representing NZDSOS today.
A very warm welcome to this, the 2nd Red Remembrance day. NZDSOS is proud to
stand here today with you all. November 15th 2021 was truly a day New Zealand must always remember, so we can say “never again” and mean it. It was the day on which many New Zealanders KNEW they would lose their jobs and their lives would change for the worse – for exerting their basic human rights, following their instincts, or going where their scientific research had led them. They still say we had a choice back then. We know that is a lie. More than 2 years on and the true toll is becoming clear. Many dead and injured, young and old. We are here to acknowledge and remember all those who have suffered, and celebrate our togetherness. Our country was deceived, and suffered terrible harm. The scientific and historical proof is overwhelming and yet our authorities are still silent, and even pressing on.
We know beyond doubt that the government KNEW it had bought an ineffective and dangerous product. Even its contract warned that safety was unknown.
So how are we here then, where many Kiwis have been needlessly killed, and many more badly hurt and, even worse, abandoned? Well, some humans can be truly horrible to the rest of us who just want to do the right thing, and “man’s inhumanity to man” is unique in the animal kingdom. Somehow a small clique with a lust for power, profit and control always manage to turn the lives of many to misery. Except when enlightened democracies stick to moral and ethical codes, especially those that should govern medicine. But once the doctors are captured, that ethical high bar topples and it is all downhill. The best past example of this is still 1930s Germany. Once their doctors okayed the euthanasia of the physically and mentally disabled, the rest is history.
The Covid debacle illustrates all these lessons, and more. The power of fear. The power of money. That power corrupts, including in those suddenly thrust into the spotlight. That many believe that we are all safer if we follow orders, but can be led to do terrible things, just because others are doing them too. That not just livelihood is at risk if they stand up, but status too, and psychologists understand that the smartest and most successful stick their willfully blind heads in the sand with the most determination, as they fear losing their elevated status more strongly than anyone else. We have seen this not just in government officials and regulators, but in coroners, pathologists, senior police, judges and lawyers. And, yes, we are afraid of
these people collaborating to silence us, but not speaking out doesn’t make it all any
less true, and certainly doesn’t save lives.
We’ve learnt we cannot trust officials just because of their status. The TV talking heads are speaking to convince themselves just as much as the people still listening to them, which, sadly, is still too many.
Well, these people are not going to wake suddenly to their human frailty and imperfections. We have to lead ourselves out of this mess. This, the biggest story of modern humanity so far – the deliberate harming of billions of people – puts our species at a crossroads. So do we believe we deserve a planet free of murderous wars, fear and misery, or one of abundance, caring and self determination? Do we think that is even possible? Most of us probably do, and it is time to step around the few that fear losing their position in society or their ill-gotten gains.
Last year we paid tribute to the various groups of people most affected, and today is
no different. Firstly those mandated out of their work, especially from healthcare, teaching,
defense and first responders, but also from many businesses too whose bosses were manipulated by the government. They were told the economy would be closed until they got their workers injected, and their customers masked and segregated.
We noted the strength and resourcefulness that has seen some of us healthier and maybe happier than we were before, with a new family, hardened by the fires of enforced solidarity, and stronger from the lies and abuse of the mainstream media.
These liars are paid for with our taxes to push an extreme political narrative. Safe and Effective is not about science. It can’t be, as it’s not true. Even the Medical Council has now removed its written instructions to lie about safety issues. But the brave groups of teachers and defence who went to the appeals court, after they lost their challenge to the government’s attack on our basic freedoms, have STILL not had their verdicts, even 7 months later!! It’s the same for the first doctor to the striking off tribunal. Justice delayed is justice denied. We have seen judges bend over backwards not to offend the government, when they are supposed to be separate and provide justice for all. NZDSOS is challenging in court the Medical Council’s right to have us desecrate our oaths, to punish us for disobedience, and to prevent us from providing actual covid
treatments to vulnerable patients, despite clear evidence early on that lives could have been saved. If the Medical Council board wished to support the labour government’s contract with Pfizer, they should not have dragged medicine down with it.
Regarding the mandates, of note, some opposition MPs at the time voted AGAINST them. So clearly, the Medical Council has taken one side in a political debate, not a health one, where behaving ethically and treating disease used to be basic norms. NZDSOS is fighting of course to retain these principles, and we fight also for the rights of the 2nd and potentially largest group affected, the vaccine injured. There were 67 000 injury reports to Medsafe until they decided to stop publishing a year ago in Nov 2022. 11 000 were serious, but 7000 of those supposedly got lost in the system. But even 67 000 is a small fraction as we know many do not get reported, and we have proof only a small fraction of those that do ever get any assessment at
all. Different pieces of research using different methods are all honing in on the true rate of harm and it is as astonishing as it is unacceptable. We have provided this information to government relentlessly. It may well be around 1 death per 1000 shots given, and the risk of serious harm or death goes up exponentially with each jab. This number fits with New Zealand’s excess mortality of over 10 000 since the rollout
began. Our work with the data we can get is suggesting that New Zealand too has some especially harmful batches. But in all samples tested, independent researchers have discovered contamination with bacterial DNA at levels v likely to cause harm.
As individual doctors we are censured and prosecuted for speaking up, and often accused of making statements without providing the evidence. However, we are always posting and sending this evidence to govt, and many of you also are well clued up with the research. For every death of course tens or hundreds have significant injury, or will have in the future. There was no human data to inform immediate, short term or medium term risks, let alone long term, so how the heck can people who say they are fine now actually know that will remain true? Sudden widespread and aggressive cancers, blood clots, strokes and heart attacks are already through the roof. We can’t get on and research how to protect from future problems whilst still fighting for people who are CLEARLY already damaged. Many are denied ACC or even acknowledgement. Officials played a reckless Russion roulette, and we-the-people have lost.
The number of stories of sudden deaths and very unpleasant diseases is as shocking as it is widespread and most will know, in their heart of hearts, of affected people, that this is not normal and something is very wrong. Around the world, doctors, nurses, dentists, funeral directors, insurance companies, probate lawyers, MPs and adverse event reporting systems cannot all be wrong. Many of the injured and their families have no clue just how many of them they are. This is our big hope for red remembrance day, and for everyday we keep working. To wake people up to the scale of the problem. Because the government is silent, the press tell lies and the police ignore clear criminal negligence. Are we supposed to just sit and trust the silence and bad judgement of the people who have already let it all go this far? NZDSOS will keep trying to do it’s bit. To save lives and prevent injuries in the future, to treat the harmed, comfort the bereaved, restore medical ethics, and push the politicians, police, courts, legal profession generally and coroners particularly to return to serving the people, instead of playing word games or just turning away.
We call for an immediate end to the mRNA products, including the new ones planned for us, and a proper enquiry into the this whole debacle. The mandates were disgusting and must never be repeated. We believe the tide is turning as the truth is relentless, but we must not stay silent. Lets get really busy between now and the next Red Remembrance Day.
Please join us in a minute’s silence to remember all those probably lost to this international conspiracy of financial interests and willful blindness.
Thank you.
Dr. Mark Edmond, Healthcare Consultant
The Good Doc

This is Dr. Guy Hatchard’s statement of support for NZDSOS’s Red Remembrance Day 2023

“I fully support NZDSOS for organising Red Remembrance Day. Unfortunately the solemn meetings today are not just a question of remembrance. The latest available official figures show that New Zealand excess deaths over five weeks during September and October 2023 are up by 70% on last year. Compared to the historical average we have 155 extra deaths per week which is 22 more deaths per day. Family, friends and the public are being misinformed, ignored and gaslighted as to the cause. Up until now the government and medical authorities have failed to record vaccination status on death certificates. They have refused to do so in order to hide their culpability”. “Please keep up the pressure on the incoming government to face the hard facts, stop mRNA vaccines, admit fault and apologise to the public, seek redress from Pfizer and compensate the victims”.
Best wishes

Watch This Movie Only If You Can Handle the Truth

If you want a glimpse of what’s behind the curtain, watch this.

Living – A Stellar Approach to Death

12/04/2023

By Randall Richards
Living is the story of an ordinary man, reduced by years of oppressive office routine to a shadow existence, who at the eleventh hour makes a supreme effort to turn his dull life into something wonderful.

This was one of the best films I’ve ever seen. Maybe that’s because of my close brushes with death, either personally, or with family and friends who have passed on. Bill Nighy puts on a supreme performance as does his leading lady Aimee Lou Wood as do the other leading actors. The casting is top notch. The cinematography is artful and well thought through, with powerful imagery camera work throughout. Someone in our local community complained the movie is too slow, but with such weighty and important subject matter, it gives the viewer time to digest the themes and messages in the script, plus what is not said, as well is what is. Set in London in the 50’s, and based on Kazuo Ishiguro‘s story, and a remake a Kurosawa classic, it uses these two elements to amplify the lack of clear and open communication we experience more today. One almos wants to scream at the screen, telling the characters to “Open up for God’s sake”. Lastly, (spoiler alert) the timing of William’s death seems too soon in the script. Or does it? Surely he couldn’t die so early in the movie. But then, his story continues in a creative memory, so in essence he is still there for the audience. But isn’t life like that, where death comes too early or earlier than expected? I don’t think this was a haphazard construct of the movie. As mentioned in Rotten Tomatoes’ comments:  Living is a movie that will leave you reflecting on the things you appreciate in your own life. It’s definitely not an action flick, but there’s plenty going on for the soul if you are willing to go there.

Meet The Real Neal Fox

09/02/2023

Where to begin with this story. I guess from the beginning, which is always the best place.
I don’t use Farcebook much anymore – mostly to post images and video clips of our retreat center here in New Zealand. While doing so, a well-marketed add popped up about learning how to perfect your home-studio recording skills called “From Concept to Creation, with the catchy title, “All Music Matters.” The dude teaching the course has great cred, (see his bio here) so I took the plunge and signed on and paid my tuition. It’s been the best money I’ve ever spent but I’ll also be putting a bit more in the donation box located on his site.)

A few things caught my eye. First was a t-shirt Neal was wearing while teaching the course – hmm. The shirt had an American bald eagle and the second one, which he was wearing on today’s lesson stated “I AM FREE”.
I stored that info away, but didn’t give it much thought, as I’m a busy guy..

A guy with a cool T-Shirt, sending a message.

The whammy was when, on the second lesson, he invites his students to download his latest album for free, which is included in the course, entitled “Unhinged“. “Hmm” I thought, then when opened the file, I saw the songlist: (listen in the links below)

  1. Unhinged
  2. Insanity Was Throwing a Party
  3. Fishy
  4. Truth Matters
  5. The Good in Us
  6. Dear Facebook
  7. My Special Girl
  8. After the Great Reset
  9. You Have the Right
  10. That Rabbit Hole

Duh”… then I knew we were on the same page, and I promptly shot off an email to Neal:
“Hi Neal,
Greetings from New Zealand.
Buying your course was the best money I’ve ever spent.
I love your teaching style, and am resonating with your warm-hearted demeanor. Thanks for that, I’m especially glad I signed up and am supporting another person not afraid to write songs that matter!
I was suspect when I saw your T-shirt with the American Eagle, then opening up the Unhinged zip file, and seeing the titles confirmed I was dealing with a cool dude…”

Then today I actually saw this image pop-up at the end of today’s section on Neal’s online course. That’s when I knew I had to get writing this blog piece.

I mean, look at that cover art (below)! Neal has a “take no prisoners’ approach to stating the obvious. At the risk of losing a student or two, he forges ahead with an edgy album which makes my efforts, in the alt media seem whimpy! God bless him! I’ve known about the backstory for over 5 decades, since I was about 13 yrs old, and now feel I could have been much more edgy and forthright, rather than treating globalist research as a hobby.

Screenshot re-published with permission of Neal Fox

And then a deeper look on his website shows he’s not only created tons of albums with such names as Now It’s Personal, Songs for the New Revolution and Thank You Dan Rather. But there’s an award-winning film, The Conspiracy Project I really look forward to seeing.
Aside from taking his course, there’s much to explore on his website.
A first stop will be a video clip “Why I wrote Unhinged

Fox: “People ask me if my UNHINGED album is about politics. It’s not. It’s about Human Rights, Freedom, Liberty.

In Neal’s email reply, in closing, he wrote,, “I’ve been heavily shadow-banned for years so the only way I get views or subscriptions is through word of mouth. So if you haven’t already, please subscribe: www.Youtube.com/nealfox

So I’m hoping, dear reader, you’ll subscribe and pass on the good word, because, as Neal signed off in his email, “Don’t hesitate to keep in touch. We need to stick together.”

Neal’s the real deal. I’ve written in previous posts that some past and current names in the “conspiracy fact” movement have been very non-apologetic for their uncompromising stance for the truth. William Cooper author of “Behold a Pale Horse“, Ed Brown of Sullivan County New Hampshire, and today’s Alex Jones, New Zealand’s Kelvyn Alp of Counterspin are gruff. In hindsight, these guys were/are not gruff enough.

While I don’t group Neal Fox in the “abrasive category”, his prolific work and actions, standing for what’s obviously the truth in these crazy times, stands on it’s own merit as self evident. His lovely New “Yourk” accent, while not on a Gerald Celente scale, still makes you want to sit up and pay attention, especially in his online class when he says, “Now the next section is short, but important, so listen up”. Joking aside, he’s got a heart of gold, which comes through in his teachings, and I encourage the reader to download/stream his albums, subscribe to his Youtube channel and delve into his in-depth website, a treasure trove of truth. If I were a globalist, I’d be afraid of likes of Neal Fox. Plus, he’s a great teacher on how to sharpen and learn one’s home studio recording techniques.
Stay tuned, as I’d love to interview Neal at some point. Since I don’t forsee him coming to New Zealand in the near future, readers will have to accept a Zoom interview. I look forward to the possibility of sitting down with Neal. I’ll keep you posted.

What It’s Like Being Censored

12/09/2020

JP Sears has been a family favorite for a few years now. My wife first turned me onto him a few years ago with his classic video, “How to be Ultra Spiritual” and his spoof on how to irritate people by being vegan. If you haven’t seen his work, check out his website and his Youtube channel, while it’s still is there.

I attended an Eckhart Tolle retreat in Australia a couple of years ago, and Mr. Tolle had a wonderful “Evening of Spiritual Entertainment” multimedia presentation. Sears’ post about Tolle was included in the evening. I wrote to Sears, letting him know Tolle thought highly enough of his video to include it in his presentation. Sears was thrilled.

JP has really stepped up to the plate with this recent post. He’s effective not only because he has done his homework, is intelligent and gets the point across, but does it through humor. He’s recently been censored on Youtube and he didn’t take to it lightly.

JP Sears calls it like he sees it about censorship and free speech, and our rights.

It’s time for us all to step up our game, and protect our inalienable rights of free speech. I’ve considered my acquaintance with an alternative narrative, introduced to be me by my uncle in the late ’60’s, as a hobby. I’ve certainly looked into the alternative press, read history books, and personally interviewed “radicals” and made my own phone calls. Those interviews and phone calls were an eye opener, which confirmed my uncle’s views and insights. More in him in another post. Now it can no longer be considered a hobby. Now it is time to speak up, at age 62, I have a 9 year old, and I want him to know I also spoke up in the year 2020. I have accumlated too much information over the years not to speak up. If you have inside info, I suggest you do the same. Thanks JP for this inspiration. This blog has formally been restricted to Mountain Spirit’s wide mission statement, but in light of the recent events, it’s clear this subject falls under our mission to help reconnect to others, ones self, and nature by further the cause of freedom. So I hope you “enjoy” upcoming posts about my personal history, and knowledge of the NWO. I’ll back it up with personal experiences, and fact. I feel it’s my duty to forge ahead with what I have known for over 45+ years.
More to follow on this subject.
