By Randall Richards I’m from a state in the US which has “Live Free or Die” as the state motto on the license plate. When I legally transferred registration of a van I’d purchased in The Netherlands to New Hampshire, I still drove that van throughout the European Alpine countries, ski touring, climbing, and playing music. The talk on the street was this formation a new European Union currency. Some of the locals were jittery, for good reason. So complete with the US license plates I’d drive into small villages and cities alike. I raised a few eyebrows, and almost got in a few problems because of the reactions I received with the motto displayed on the back of the van.
Since those days, until today, I’ve felt that New Hampshire residents probably don’t really live by that motto, much less understand it. Today this story surfaced of a New Hampshire man standing by his right to free speech. The interaction is being praised as a model for how citizens can assert their rights when confronted by federal agents, especially in cases of potential entrapment. Here’s the the story:
Watch: FBI Agents Called Out During Visit to Law-Abiding Citizen Regarding a Meme Post
Intel agency foot soldiers regret approaching man over First Amendment-protected activity. A man filmed two U.S. federal agents as they approached him to ask about posts he’d made on social media, leading to them being publicly shamed for targeting a First Amendment-protected activity.
In a viral video, X user Jeremy Kauffman filmed as two plain-clothes agents approached his front porch requesting he not film them, as the citizen asked for their full names while notifying them he intended to post the interaction online.
“The FBI visited my house today for free speech acts they knew were not crimes. You can see the shame on their faces. This is the Democratic regime manifest.”
Jeremy Kauffman (@jeremykauffman) September 16, 2024 “All I want to do is talk to you about a post that was made,” one of the unidentified agents told Kaufman after showing a badge alongside a holstered sidearm.
Kaufman went on to speculate the agents’ yearly average salary was likely over $100K, before telling them it was a waste of taxpayer money. “Talking about burning a couple hundred dollars an hour just here, let alone all the time you guys are spending…to investigate something that you know is not against the law, right?” the man told the agents, who repeatedly requested the man stop filming them.
After appearing thoroughly embarrassed, the agents eventually departed while the man chided them, saying, “You know Americans that believe in the Constitution think you’re laughable. You go home and you think about what you did today. Go home and think about it. You coward.” It’s unclear what social media post prompted the visit.| The interaction is being praised as a model for how citizens can assert their rights when confronted by federal agents, especially in cases of potential entrapment.

By Randall RIchards I remember, some years ago, I made many attempts to see subliminal messages on television. I was told if you open and close your eyes at a fast rate you can sometimes catch words and phrases within the frames of shows, ads and the news. Try as I might I couldn’t see anything.
Years later my wife watched something on TVNZ Livestream, which she never does. She just wanted a diversion from our normal intake of “Truth Media” (as opposed to OFM, or “Old Fashioned Media”). She was watching a standard series of some sort, and suddenly saw words flash across the screen. I don’t recall what she saw, but she said it was rather disturbing, similar to “You are worthless” or the like. She decided to do a little research and this link popped up about a complaint made in 2008 to the NZ Broadcasting Standards Authority by a fellow named Micheal Bennett against TVNZ.
Mr Bennett said in the complaint that he was watching an episode of Eating Media Lunch when he stated that the message “Kill Yourself Now” had flashed onto the screen in a subliminal manner. He contended that the message had only lasted for “3 or 4 frames of the 25 in each second” and that “this method of subliminal advertising” had been banned world-wide.” The complaint which can viewed here, stated, “During an episode of Eating Media Lunch, broadcast on TV2 at 10pm on 2 November 2007, the message “Kill Yourself Now” was displayed on the screen just before the programme’s opening credits. The message was only visible for a fraction of a second.”
TVNZ assessed the complaint under Standards 1, 2, 8 and 9, and guideline 8b of the Free-to-Air Television Code of Broadcasting Practice. which are:
Standard 1 Good Taste and Decency In the preparation and presentation of programmes, broadcasters are responsible for maintaining standards which are consistent with the observance of good taste and decency. Standard 2 Law and Order In the preparation and presentation of programmes, broadcasters are responsible for maintaining standards which are consistent with the maintenance of law and order. Standard 8 Programme Information Broadcasters are responsible for ensuring that programme information and structure does not deceive or disadvantage the viewer. Guideline 8b Broadcasters should not use the process known as “subliminal perception” or any other technique which attempts to convey information to the viewer by transmitting messages below or near the threshold of normal awareness. Standard 9 Children’s Interests During children’s normally accepted viewing times broadcasters are required, in the preparation and presentation of programmes, to consider the interests of child viewers.
The complaints filed by Bennett specifically were: “standards of good taste and decency, law and order, programme information and children’s interests had been breached. He argued that the message “Kill Yourself Now” had flashed onto the screen in a subliminal manner. He contended that the message had only lasted for “3 or 4 frames of the 25 in each second” and that “this method of subliminal advertising” had been banned world-wide.
“He had been deeply offended by the message and believed that suggesting suicide was both irresponsible and illegal. He considered that subliminal messaging was a powerful tool for implanting ideas into a viewer’s subconscious.”
“Bennett pointed out that the episode was available on TVNZ’s website and that this meant children and teenagers with access to a computer could watch the programme at any time. He stated that “children and teenagers are vulnerable and this sort of subliminal message may well push a depressed young person over the edge”.
And you’ll never guess what the decision by the Broadcasting Standards Authority was. All of the following issues were “not upheld” in other words, they BSA could not find fault with TVNZ: Standard 1 (good taste and decency) – contextual factors – not upheld Standard 2 (law and order) – item did not encourage viewers to break the law or promote, condone or glamorise criminal activity – not upheld Standard 8 (programme information) – action taken by the broadcaster sufficient – not upheld Standard 9 (children’s interests) – standard not applicable – not upheld
In short the Authority ignored Bennett’s complaint, based on the laughable defense of TVNZ which stated:
TVNZ stated that “the message had been broadcast after the introduction featuring the “coming up section” and that it was intended to be an ironic and humorous comment* on the material that was going to follow. It pointed out that during different episodes of the programme other messages of “the same ilk” had flashed up before the beginning credits including “napalm the pakeha”, “mysky = small penis” and “Tame Iti = Bin Laden?”. adding, “The broadcaster argued that the phrase was not meant to be threatening or aggressive “nor was it meant to imply that the viewer should kill themselves”. It considered that the phrase was ironic and that it would be understood as a joke by regular viewers of Eating Media Lunch. TVNZ believed that material of this nature was acceptable in the context of an AO-rated programme, which was preceded by a warning and broadcast at 10pm. It declined to uphold the good taste and decency complaint.”
TVNZ argued that “for a programme to breach this standard it must actively promote disrespect for the law. It reiterated its argument that the programme was well-known for its satirical comedy and that it often contained footage and behaviour that was challenging. It maintained that the phrase was not meant to be taken as a directive but was intended to be a humorous comment on the material that was to come. The broadcaster believed that the phrase did not promote disrespect for the law. It declined to uphold the Standard 2 complaint.
In conclusion, through first-hand eyewitness accounts (my wife included), subliminal messaging does still exist, certainly in NZ. Thanks to the internet, facts don’t go away for those that are willing to do a little research. Again, quoting Mark Twain, “A lie gets half-way around the world before Truth gets a chance to put its pants on.” I’m rooting for truth. *Emphasis added by author
The article below by Mary Hobbs of the Daily Telegraph, is about my friend Liz Gunn, who was assaulted, (along with her camerman) by NZ Police at a public airport. Whether you’re reading this in New Zealand or elsewhere, and you care about your freedoms, I urge you to read the whole article and see the brief video clip of the assault, (also linked in article.) I finally saw the footage just now, and was nauseated to see a peaceful friend being thrown to the floor and injured in what may well have been a pre-planned assault.

If it can happen to her, it can happen to one of you. Just stay in line, and you’ll be fine, but for how long.
Kudos to Mary Hobb for writing this article.

Imagine arriving at Auckland International airport on a Saturday afternoon to meet friends flying in from overseas. You gather other Kiwis there for the same purpose, in a festive sense of anticipation. While chatting with your friend, who arrived with his best camera to record the happy occasion, you are singled out by a security worker who mistakenly considers you’re there to commercially film. With a sense of disquiet at being singled out, you explain that you are not there in a commercial capacity, but the airport employee says — regardless of your explanation — that you are going to be trespassed and the police will be called.

I saw this sticker in a Melbourne bathroom yesterday, and felt oblidged to enlighten people who might be standing at the urinal sending them to Jim Breuer’s “Somebody Had to Say it“. He covers social distancing quite well in his standup.
Few people know Justin Trudeau better than his own brother. Here’s what he, Kyle Kemper, says about him.
From the interview transcript: “Most people in Western countries and the United States and Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, etc., most people who lived in those countries two years ago got the Covid vaccine. That’s just a fact. And maybe because of that fact, very few people want to talk about what that was, not just what the vaccine itself was and what it may do to the human body and the human brain. Those are worthy conversations, important conversation, necessary conversations, ignored conversations. But the bigger conversation is why were governments across the West pulling out all stops to force people to take this compound that they called a vaccine? What was this and what did we learn about the motives and the aims of those governments by their behavior around the vaccine? What did we learn?”
I thought I’d take the opportunity to share the feedback form I just completed for the Aspiring Conversation’s “Truth and Lies” event last 6th of April here in Wanaka, NZ. The only thing I screwed up, that I can see, is I failed to capture the screenshot of questions 9 and 10 on this feedback form. So I recreated the that screen shot the best I could, otherwise it’s all from their SurveyMonkey form.
The Truth and Lies event held recently in Wanaka, NZ, was a part of the Aspiring Conversation series, under of the greater Festival of Colour event. A number of my free-thinking friends and I attended, and although recording and filming the event was not approved, a good audio copy was captured, and we’ll let you decide for yourself how on-target the speakers were on major issues facing us such as freedom of speech, the internet – platforms such as Telegram, and… Fear. Yes you read that correctly: Fear was a dominent theme we picked up in both presenters and the audience. Barry Young once mentioned that he’d love to be inside their (the panelist’s) head to see what makes them say and think what they do.
Alistair Harding eloguently stated this morning when he was interviewing Roy Chantaloup and me, that the panelests are making a last gasp effort of stating their revelence when it’s clear the OFM, Old Fashioned Media, and the lies it pumps out, are fading into oblivion. It’s not happening fast enough, but it is happening.
Anyway, here’s the audio of that “dialogue” where no Q&A were allowed, nor opposing views.
Another conclusion Alistair, Roy and I came to, was when the day comes that our community hosts a Truth event here in Wanaka, we will certainly invite Kate Hannah, Souixsie Wiles, Kathy Ferguson and Bryon C. Clarke to to have a civil discussion. We are not racists, nor “alt-right” nor conspiracy theororists. We are humans, as they are, seeking a dialogue. We will seek to fulfull the vision statement of which the Festival of Colour, and Aspiring Conversations attempt woefully fell short. This event was a lost opportunity, but there will be more ahead here in Wanaka. Our community will see to it. Please attend when you see the announcement.
Author’s Note: There will be a transcript of this audio track published here soon. Stay tuned.
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.
By Randall Richards Yesterday, I attended an “Aspiring Conversations” event called “Truth and Lies*” which is part of Wanaka, “Festival of Colour” held periodically in this small but growing town on New Zealand’s South Island. I, and about twenty-five friends who are concerned about threats to free speech and government overreach, had bought the $25 ticket to hear four people on stage discuss what their webpage describes as follows “How do we know what is true and how do we deal with the misinformation and disinformation that plagues not just social media, but public life.”
Truth and Lies speakers lineup, clockwise from upper left: Susie Ferguson, Kate Hannah (no show), Byron Clarke and Siouxsie Wiles.
The webpage gave the speakers’ backgrounds: “Susie Ferguson has recently produced a podcast series called Undercurrents. Kate Hannah (no-show) is the director of the Disinformation Project. Byron C Clarke is an expert on the far right and has just written Fear: New Zealand’s Hostile World of Extremists. Siouxsie Wiles is a science communicator who has been targeted by the alt right.” The event was hosted by Radio New Zealand host Kathryn Ryan
I was dreading going to the event. I was tempted to bring a barf bag in protest but decided at the last minute to nix that idea. I felt as if I were going into the den of lions. The thought of attending this talk brought a mild feeling of nausea. When I found a seat in the audience, I grew a bit anxious, as what looked like a largely retired, but woke population, started to fill the auditorium. As a group, my friends and I agreed we’d be respectful of their guidelines, (besides we discovered when Kathryn Ryan was reading the ground rules, that “Any disruptions from the audience would result in being escorted out by security personnel.” A friend from Arrowtown, NZ, who didn’t get our memo, did speak out loudly once, when Siouxsie Wiles stated on stage that there were minimal adverse effects of the Covid19 “vaccine”. He spoke up loudly, saying, “What about the skyrocketing excess deaths reported?” He was rewarded by a security guard coming to the end of his row and glowering at him with a threatening look of, “Don’t do that again, or you’re out of here.”
A last minute email sent out to ticket-holders the day before the event stated, that if we’d like to submit questions to be considered, they’d have to be emailed in prior. So that evening we, as a group, decided to submit the following questions:
1. What are the panel’s views on Dr. Michael Kelly’s recent article that calculated it would cost New Zealand $500 BILLION to implement the climate change actions being proposed by our Government?
2. Does the panel regard it to be “true” that the Covid vaccine was “safe and effective?”
3. What is the panel’s opinion of NZ’s Bill of Rights which states that: “Everyone has the right to freedom of expression, including the freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and opinions of any kind in any form.”
4. What level of C02 is acceptable to members of this panel when ice samples show that the planet currently has its lowest ever levels of CO2 levels in the last 70 million years?
5. What is the panel’s opinion regarding the refusal of our ministry of Health to release the true data on the vaccination injury statistics and all-cause mortality figures over the last 4 years?
6. Why does the panel think advertisers are withdrawing from mainstream media in their droves, causing their collapse?
7. Can members of the panel please confirm, in public that you do not receive any funding from third parties like the UN, WHO or Governmental or university bodies – either directly or indirectly?
There was no Q&A section of the presentation. Knowing, this might be the case, we printed out copies of the questions to hand out to the audience as they exited the building with the following additional background printed on the front:
Questions for the Truth & Lies Panel Discussion Some concerned people in the Otago region are planning to ask these 7 questions at the Truth and Lies discussion event on the 6th of April, which is slated to be part of Wanaka’s Aspiring Conversations, at The Festival of Colour. We, as individuals, will request these questions be answered during the Q&A portion of the event, if there is such a portion. If not, we will ask the panel if they will answer the questions in the room, immediately after the event. If the panel will not address the questions after the event, we will present these questions to them with a request to respond via email, and will also hand out copies of this document to the attendees as they exit the event. We’re hopeful the discussion panel will hear our concerns, and we look forward to hearing their answers.
We also included their mission of the event:
From the Festival of Colour Website:
“Our vision is to create an extraordinary platform that inspires, entertains, and challenges, fostering community well-being. Through diverse performances, thought-provoking discussions, and interactive events, we aim to engage our community and captivate individuals from all walks of life. Our dynamic programme showcases both established and emerging artists, representing Aotearoa’s artistic and cultural landscape alongside international acts.
We believe in the transformative power of the arts to spark conversations, challenge perceptions, and connect people. Alongside showcasing incredible performances that move our audiences, our festivals stimulate dialogue on critical issues, encouraging reflection and exploration of new ideas, encouraging personal growth, cultural understanding, and social cohesion.“(emphasis added by author)
I’m sorry to say the event fell far short of ticking any of the boxes I highlight above. On the contrary, the event encouraged conformative non-critical thinking by oversimplifying major issues of the day such as the use of the internet and the Telegram platform in particular. At one point, Susie Ferguson stated she was “given a tour of Telegrams groups” as if it were some sort of foreign dark web element of our society. It is not. Byron Clarke stated “Be skeptical and stick to broadcasting standards.” I say, keep an open mind, and follow your nose. Someone recently is quoted as saying, people know the truth when they see it, they can smell it.” Another quote oft attributed to Mark Twain, “A lie gets half way around the world before truth gets a chance to put its pants on.” Maintaining an open, curious mind today is mandatory to stay healthy and at peace.
My twelve year son, who attended the event, picked up on the overall feeling of fear from the panel members, and he was right. Clarke earlier stated, “We’re in worrying times when our landscape of news media is changing with fake news, fake info, on the internet which is considered the truth”. The audience then sighed or gasped. I had the distinct feeling I was in a paddock of sheep. Clarke added the example of “The protest of the mandates in Wellington are signs of worrying times, when they could have been protesting for a more worthy cause”. He continued, “While reputable newscasts are behind some sort of paywalls, (TV subscriptions, advertising, etc) the internet is free, such as New Zealand’s own Counterspin Media, Reality Check Radio, Voice Media, my own blog and Infowars and TCN the U.S. to name a few. (For the record, the above excluding my own and Counterspin, have paid elements of their services. Voice Media is virtually a full paid subscription service and TCN has much of its content behind a paywall). The mainstream military industrial media globalist complex gets paid to lie and create the mess, we have to volunteer or scrounge for donations to clean up the mess. I, and others in truth* media, can speak from experience that countering the narrative doesn’t pay well. Without corporate sponsors, even the “founding father” of truth media, Alex Jones, has to promote his health line of supplements to stay on air. He doesn’t receive government grants as does RNZ and other “Old Fashioned Media, OFM” here in New Zealand.
The moderator brought up our Bill of Rights in NZ, and the right to free speech. That was a curious exchange, with Souixsie Wiles stating in effect, that free speech is not an absolute, that when someone says something which could end up killing someone with misinformation (regarding the pandemic), this is not a right. This sparked a few comments from the audience. Rightfully so.
Byron incorrectly stated that “people who are online too much are susceptible , That’s why the pandemic blew things up for a certain percentage of the population. My feeling is that what they’re reading online justifies violence, and the material appeals to those that don’t trust authority.” Firstly, violence is never justified, and yes, there surely must be a small percentage of unbalanced individuals who advocate violence on the internet. But to the bigger picture, correct me if I’m wrong, is it not only our right, but our responsibility to have a healthy distrust our government? The founding fathers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence certainly accounted for that when they constructed the constitution.
Going back to what my 12-yr old picked up, that the panelists seemed fearful, and “not in a good way” as he put it. “They weren’t healthy and happy looking like our friends” he stated. “They seemed like they had low energy.” My read on the situation confirms his perceptions.
I had a cathartic experience at the event. I had never seen any of these people in person before. Once I saw them on stage, I felt empathy for them. All I wanted to do was somehow reach out to them, either on or off the record. It was helpful hearing their story to understand where they are coming from. It’s clear they are troubled and don’t have the full picture. As I’ve written in previous articles, and stated on stage, I was brought up in an extended family who had a healthy distrust (but also respect) of the U.S. government and military. My uncle was a 4-star general in the army and worked in the Pentagon as an aide to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He told me about the reality of Washington DC and the power structures. It’s mainly what got me interested in being a United Press International photojournalists in my late teens and early ’20’s. It’s also what got me interested in finding out the back-story of how things work, by making my own investigative phone calls, and receiving answers I didn’t want to hear by our state-owned media and institutions.
Last night, all I could do was feel compassion for these ill-informed panelists who know not what they do. Well, maybe they do. The saying, “they’re either being played or being paid” holds true here. Despite that, all I saw were humans on stage, who were mirroring in statements, (to a much greater degree than my friends and I feel), some of the same issues we felt when being mandated out of public places or fired from our jobs. The people on stage made comments such as, “I feel afraid to speak out for fear of reprisals, for losing my job, for losing friendships.” All I saw was a mirror of myself, in an exaggerated form. As a caveat, I would say, I’m not really fearful, and at this point, I don’t care what people think of my opinions. That’s one of the advantages of getting older. This cast of characters on stage might even be “in on the take”. So what? It is what it is. It doesn’t mean we don’t stand outside the venue with posters showing photographs of vaccine injured individuals who have suffered greatly, to help open people’s eyes. But it does mean we have compassion for those that haven’t yet seen the whole truth. It’s like being upset at someone for having a cold or illness. How can you? It seems on the surface, they have a choice in the matter, but they don’t have a choice until they break free of the conditioning. It’s not their fault. It’s a condition of the times. An exciting time to be a journalist and a writer. I can tell you that much!
Reactions from a friend about the “Truth and Lies” event in Wanaka, NZ, and others with posters of “vaccine” injured victims who have either died or now have serious side effects.
Author’s Note: *I was tempted to include in this article, that the title should have been called “Lies and More Lies” which I think is funny, but it implies the panel members know that they’re lying, and I can at least tell, with certainty, they’re not seeing the whole picture. Whether it’s intentional or not, at least at this level I’m not sure. Look up “Hegelian Dialectic.” This just in: Just received this text from a friend who was not able to attend the event: “Hi Randall, Looks like you all made a bit of an impact with the pants on fire crowd.” Oh good, I look forward to hearing more!
Update: I’ve been hearing some really good comments from my community here in Wanaka, and encourage you, and those beyond the area, to comment in section below or on my Farcebook page as well to stir the pot.
By Emanuel E. Garcia, M.D. “This may be the most important interview I’ve conducted thus far, not least because it exposes the rank corruption and failure of the institutions meant to protect the public here in New Zealand — in this case the Medical Council of New Zealand and the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal — and demonstrates the courage of a doctor who stood up from the beginning and applied critical thinking and foundational medical principles to the covid juggernaut, risking his career for freedom of speech, open discourse, foundational medical principles and the public’s right to information outside establishment media outlets.
Please join me for a conversation, my second, with the highly accomplished and courageous Dr. Peter Canaday, recorded on 5 February 2024. It is unedited and unrehearsed. Feel free to share far and wide.
Editor’s Notes:
There are some substantial supporting documents, including Dr. Canaday’s Biography, Brief of Evidence for the HPDT, Dr. Canaday’s Closing Submission for the HPDT, Dr. Canaday’s Documents and Presentations, all available on the image link above or here.
For a more detailed summary on Dr. Garcia’s post, including the text of the decision by the Medical Council of New Zealand and the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal click here.
For those who know Dr. Canaday, they will agree – his character and integrity is of the highest degree. In addition, I wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of an debate with him. He’s one smart guy. It’s only a matter of time before it becomes clear that Dr. Canaday is on the right side of history. Bravo, Dr. Canaday, for standing up for what you know is right, and for the self-evident truth.
Peter also included this in a recent email, which I thought I’d add here: “To all, In the event you may be interested in what I was doing in the late stage of my career in NZ, my friend and colleague has chronicled it in several of his ongoing Substack posts. For those who haven’t known about the abject corruption within organized medicine, this may be a bit of a wake-up call. It affects us all, not just in New Zealand.”
I posted this comment on FB today: “Good on you Peter, We in New Zealand are very proud of you for acting for what you know is right. Your standing up early in the game, with your Fireside Chats on Reality Check Radio, http://www.realitycheck.radio gave those of us mandated out of many places, solid information and encouragement. The truth will come out to everyone in time. It takes guts to put your head above the parapet in the early days. But then, as you probably agree, what other choice do you have?“
