My Take on Truth & Lies in Wanaka

09/04/2024

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.

This Is Important: Two Sharp Minds Discuss Reality

05/02/2024

By Randall Richards
If you’re still trying to figure out whether you’ve been fooled by the powers that be, or, you don’t want to know, then you owe it to yourself to watch this interview. Put aside your preconceptions of Tucker Carlson, and Russell Brand. Step outside your normal narrative, your normal media box, and consider what these two sharp minds are discussing. You just may come away with a broader perspective, an awakened world view. I’m sorry to say, you’ve been fooled, and lied to. As hard as it is to believe, I ask that you consider the possibility that the government does not have your best interest in mind.

Recently I’ve encountered a few people in my day that have been know-it-alls. They simply can’t understand how anyone could think reality is other than the way they perceive it. In short, anyone who thinks Trump did anything good, is a nut job. While I wouldn’t want to spend a weekend with him, and frankly will be voting for RFK Jr, not Trump, Orange Man is not bad. He’s strange, but it’s almost beside the point what my view of Trump is. I’m probably ideologically a liberal at heart, but that train left the station a long time ago. The left is unrecognizable now to what it once was. RFJ Jr will tell you that.
So I ask again, take off the blinders. I’d rather wear a tinfoil hat, (metaphor) than blinders. Good luck with your journey, and if you have questions, I’ll be here for you.

Info Overload? Yep.

Leadership & Staying in the Light

07/12/2023

Penny Marie, (NZ)more than a “content provider”. She’s a strong women with a tempered steel forged by challenges, based in New Zealand. She comes from a communications and marketing background but has turned to use her talents not only in posting some amazing blogs, but starting an important initiative called Let Kids Be Kids. She’s passionate about truth-telling but in a centered heart-space way with no compromise. Her words of wisdom help remind us to stay compassionate in a troubling world of divergent paradigms. Only through love will change for the better happen. I particularly love a couple of her statements in this interview, One simple truth is “someone’s entry point to the truth can be from most any topic, and secondly, not to be judgmental of our fellow human beings. She was recently interviewed on the Jim Ferguson Show (UK). She’s a woman with vision born of this historic time.

Reuniting and Healing: Overcoming Family Divisions in the Wake of Vaccine Mandates

It was a profound and stirring moment to engage in a deep conversation with Penny Marie from New Zealand, a passionate voice associated with the United Free Press. Our discussion unveiled the alarming issues plaguing mainstream media – their complicity in masking corruption and their blatant disregard for the truth.

Reflections on the New Zealand data share

By DR TESS LAWRIE, MBBCH, PHD, https://substack.com/@drtesslawrie

Events of the past week in relation to the New Zealand population data share have been confusing to say the least. With so much contradictory information and intrigue, people have been left wondering what to believe and who to trust. How do we check and verify the integrity.. Read the rest of this story here:

From: The Daily Telegraph
What the Whistleblower Data Tells us About the NZ Ministry of Health
This week an interview with a Ministry of Health employee under the pseudonym Winston Smith, who leaked data to former journalist and recent political candidate Liz Gunn, caused an international sensation.
A data set of four million vaccination records was briefly available for download and scrutiny from vaccine critic Steve Kirsch’s site. Many of you have no doubt watched the hour long interview by Liz Gunn by now. Kirsch independently promised his readers that international statistics experts would be publishing analysis of the data shortly.

The Wasabi site hosting the data for download acted rapidly to cancel Steve Kirsch’s account and YouTube took down the video within minutes (it is still up on… Read the rest of this story:

And From Steve Kirsch’s Twitter
“If the data shows the COVID vaccine is so safe, why are they trying so hard to hide it?
They are hiding the fact that the vaccine killed thousands of New Zealanders.
If they were honest, they would publish the FULL dataset. But they are corrupt.”

From The Pack of Cornered Animals: (1NewsNZ)
A health worker has been arrested and charged after allegedly misusing and disclosing vaccination data, while spreading misinformation about Covid-19, police told 1News this evening.
The 56-year-old man will appear in the Wellington District Court tomorrow charged with accessing a computer system for dishonest purposes, police said. It comes after health officials today laid a police complaint against a staff member”. Read the rest if this “story” here:

Lastly, Celia Farber has provided some useful links, posed questions and insight about what’s going on tonight here in New Zealand. I include this post only to give some insight on how independent news media is doing its best to get the truth out. It’s not a cookie cutter operation, as is state-controlled media, so things don’t always go according to plan. Welcome to life. But as Mark Twain said, “A lie gets half way around the world before truth gets a chance to put its pants on.” The truth will come out, one way or the other.
Here’s her piece, on her Substack:

Read her story here:

Editor’s Note: I’m one of the co-founding members of a group called NZ Rising, which serves as a communication network for groups concerned about government overreach here in New Zealand. We’ve taken our lead largely from Canada’s successful Freedom Rising.
We recently talked about how important it is to stay in our hearts as the old narrative crumbles completely. It is happening now in case you haven’t noticed. It’s not going to be pretty, but by staying united in love and common purpose, we’ll expose the truth. I stand in support the whistleblower/s’ effort for speaking the truth about the excess deaths occurring in New Zealand.
There is indeed “something to see here”, and I suggest the reader not just believe me, but do his/her own research and, as in Wizard of Oz, “Look at that man behind the curtain.” Randall Richards


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.

The Dynamic Duo – Masters of the Biodynamic

18/02/2023

Gill  and Peter Bacchus are masters of their craft, Biodynamics, and I was lucky enough to spend a bit of time chatting with them after their recent workshop, held in Cromwell, New Zealand. These two are well-educated and switched on to life. They’re also in tune with the how important our relationship is with the planets, stars, earth, and the food we put into our bodies. Gill is the author of “Love Your Veges” [ed: “Veggies” for you Yanks] and Peter has authored “Biodynamic Pasture Management”. with the subtitle Balancing Fertility, Life and Energy.


YOUR FOOD SUPPLY #32: The Dynamic Duo Note: (This video series started 13 years ago, while listening to the audio version of the book, The Omnivore’s Dilemma, when Amanda and I were driving across the U.S. and were seeing the effects of industrial farming in real time while listening to the book. Here’s that first entry Your Food Supply #1 To see the whole series, click on the category “Your Food Supply” in the category section of this blog on the right of your screen.


What struck me was, not only how informed Gill and Peter were when giving their workshop and interview, but how passionate they are about “the parts related to the whole” (physically, spiritually, with the plant kingdom, and universe) , and how we are all interconnected. I also appreciated Peter’s awareness of the bigger picture when it comes to globalist and government overreach. He’s clued in. 

Gill has a long practical experience of organic vegetable and herb growing, and learning to choose a vegetable-based diet to manage health issues. She has helped children create school gardens, grow and cook vegetables and helped create community gardens. Gill has a masters in science in Soil Science and Human Nutrition and is also the author of Food Full of Life. 
Peter was raised on a biodynamic dairy farm and later worked as a medicinal herb grower, developing large-scale composting business. He consults widely and has held leadership position in biodynamic farming organizations. The two live near Thames on the north island of New Zealand. They can be reached at p.bacchus@farmside.com.nz and gillbacchus@gmail.com
Although they do have a web domain, their website isn’t up and running at the moment, however here’s Gill’s Facebook page.

This year’s workshop was held at Valda Muller’s Organic New Zealand Nuts walnut farm where Valda guided the workshop participants on a walk-around of her property, which is virtually all biodynamic. The workshop was created and managed by Su Hoskins, who is also has an amazing grasp of organic and biodynamic farming, who we’ll interview soon. Sue recently hosted the two-day workshop where the first day was near Wanaka, and the second at Valda’s in Cromwell. You can learn more about Sue on her Facebook page.

If you get a chance, read their books, and if you’re in New Zealand, by all means, attend one of their, and Sue’s workshops.

House Astro - Copy

Before lock-down, here on the South Island of New Zealand, we were quite busy renting out our accommodation to AirBnB guests from all over the world. We enjoyed meeting people from Italy to the US, from China to India. Since lock-down, we’ve been gettingIMG_8761 - Copy copy bookings from individuals and families here in New Zealand, who want a “digital detox”, or to reset their perspective on life. There’s a huge demand for going within, and reconnecting with one’s self, with others and with nature. Humbly, I think we do that well here at Mountain Spirit. We’ve been at it for a while and are excited to share our space and experience. Amanda offers wonderful and centering YinYoga classes. Randall offers re-connection through “solo’s”, sailing and other experiential activities. Randall worked with Outward Bound for many years, then a mountain guide in South America for Alpine Ascents International, leading climbers up peaks in Peru, Argentina and Ecuador and has landed in New Zealand. Amanda has studied yoga most of her life, and spent some months in India practicing and learning. She most recently has been training under Sarah Powers.
