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

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

Micro-FM Radio: The End Run ’round MSM

18/09/2023

By Randall Richards, Mountain Spirit Media

Former University community radio host Jay Barnett and I have been putting our heads together for the past year on how to create a local radio station where we could re-broadcast interviews and internet content onto the FM band here in Wanaka, New Zealand. In effect, our goal has been, to do an end-run around the mainstream media’s iron grip on free speech, and their constant barrage of “The Single Source of Truth” narrative.

Enter Reality Check Radio, a recent initiative by Voices for Freedom. “RCR” has a great line-up of experienced, seasoned professional media anchors and interviewers as well as young gun content providers on the front lines of New Zealand’s information war.  Of course, hearing great interviews with guests from all over the world, informed and intelligent interviewees is great for the converted, but how do we get the messages out beyond the echo chamber?

Citizen Low Power FM (LPFM) Radio is just that. It’s one very effective way to reach that 35% of fence-sitters, who once hear the truth will recognize it when they hear it, and be drawn to hear more. They can smell it.
How does it work? It’s easy, legal, inexpensive and easy to set up.
There a few ground rules though:
– Choose from within a range of FM frequency bands allocated for local community radio on either the bottom or top end of the FM band.
– Don’t use a frequency that’s already being used. Refer to the online resource that shows what local community operators are already broadcasting in your area, and avoid using that frequency, Simply choose another one that is free within the allowed spectrum.
– Have an announcement hourly that states the operator’s name and contact info (in this case of re-broadcasting a streamed interview from Reality Check Radio or the like, that’s taken care of as it’s usually embedded in the interview somewhere.
– Use a wattage on your transmitter that’s no more than 1 to 1.5 watts in power.
That’s about it.
But how does this work?

Jay Barnett runs through the basics of LPFM

The theme of this article is  “See one, do one”. The purpose is to give you enough information to purchase the needed gear and easily set up your own low power FM station in your house or even outside on a hill top. The linear range of these units are “line of sight” averaging between 5-10km depending your location and that of the antenna. Since the range isn’t huge, it’s important to find the highest ground or in our case, we may put one our moored boat with a battery pack. Currently the community station we’ve just fired up is in someone’s home, but we’re working on improving the antenna set-up for better coverage. By setting it up on the roof with a coaxial extension cord we should see better results. But the important thing is we’re live!

Pirate Radio? Nah, it’s all legal. The Lego pirate ship just happened to be there on the shelf next to the transmitter. Ha!


Simple setup streaming from the internet onto a tablet, phone, or computer, plugged into the small FM transmitter

Closeup of transmitter, which also has a direct line-in for a mic. The tablet plugs into the AUX

So what’s needed? Below are some links to the basics including a review of what to buy and what to avoid in FM transmitters. We’ll be most likely installing one in our house, (once I check with the rest of the family, of course) with a roof-top antenna of some sort. Because of our location, we’ll have great reach of the Hawea Valley, but won’t interfere with the main town’s transmitter so we’ll stick with 107fm here at Mountain Spirit

Simple hookup of the transmitter on a bookshelf.

Ok, here’s the fine print from the NZ Government’s Radio Spectrum Management page on low power FM broadcasting which confirms what Jay has shared about the parameters one needs to follow. The Radio Heritage Foundation’s page on Low Power FM stations, (LPFM) was a list of who’s on what frequency in your town. The LPFM Society of NZ seems like a great site for resources and to help further the cause of community broadcasting and transmitting.

Lastly here are some links provided by Jay on where and what to purchase in order to get your own community station going, so you can re-broadcast Realty Check Radio, your own content, or that which you pick off the internet.

Thanks to Jay Barnett for his hours of volunteer work, co-facilitating the occasional workshop with me on, not only LPFM, but emergency preparedness talks on Walkie Talkies and VHF radios, and for providing the guts of this article through messages and discussions. Here’s Jay showing the basic LPFM setup of tablet plugged into the small FM transmitter

Thanks also to Gerry Pyves for his leadership as local Wanaka VFF Coordinator over the past difficult year and a half, through mandates and lockdowns, and his good natured approach and enthusiasm for LPFM. He recently passed the torch of VFF leadership in Wanaka on to a wonderful new coordinator.

Update: Sept 2023:
We’ve temporarily set up this FM unit in Hawea, New Zealand, about 15min from Wanaka, with a few minor tweaks from when this article was originally written:

We’ve added a Logitech Bluetooth Adapter as an interface between the phone/tablet and the FM transmitter. It is normally used to allow you to receive live streaming, but in this case we’re using it to transmit the live stream. Notice also the antenna is not attached to the transmitter. We’ve introduced an 5m/15′ coax cable to the extend the antenna to be cable-tied outside the house, giving us much better range and coverage.

This way, the phone can be anywhere in the house, in this case on my bedside table, taking a charge and out of the way of the transmitter in another room. Any guesses as to what the little device is next to the phone? Like my choice of night-time reading?
A couple of recent important notes from Jay:
1. Be sure to turn plug the antenna into the transmitter before turning on power. Otherwise you can damage the unit.
2. Plug the input cable coming from the phone/tablet into the AUX not the MIC.
3. Adjust the output volume on the unit by using an FM radio and referencing the volume compared to other stations and see where your levels compare to theirs.

Meet Kevin Millard, A Humble But Strong Man

01/08/2023

I’ve been wanting to repost this image more than any, since my content was taken down at the Wellington protest against mandates. Even before the convoy, before the protests, before the lockdowns, Keven Millard was bucking the system. And this image of him in his store with no mask on, sticks with me to this day. Of all the interviews I did in Wellington and on the Convoy, this stays with me, because Kevin lives in a very, very small town in Southern New Zealand: Tokanui. And it’s often said, “You stand out more in a small town when you stand up”. But Kevin wasn’t afraid, early in the game to stand his ground. After numerous visits from the police he still refused to wear a mask or require his customers to put them on. He basically said, “Screw ’em if they don’t like my choice.” 
I remember the very first day I decided to stop wearing the face diaper. It was also very early on in the game. I was shaking in my boots, In fact a wrote a line in a song about it. So here’s Kevin at his Tokanui Food Centre, doing was he does best, being him. 

Notice the facemask exemption sign posted behind him. We had some good chats while my family and I stayed in the Catlins 
The food at Kevn’s place is basic Southern Fare, but the reading material is excellent, 5 stars.

Watch Out “Mainstream” Media, Here’s someone with a mission saying, ‘It’s time to find our voices’

18/07/2023

By Randall Richards, Mountain Spirit Media
Penny Marie, a motivated mother and “new journalist”, with a marketing background, is making the rounds on New Zealand’s South Island for a two-week whistle-stop tour, called “Finding Your Brave”. She recently spoke in Cromwell in Central Otago, to an attentive crowd of locals interested in preventing government overreach.

Penny of Voice Media is also a fellow member of The New Zealand Media Collective , United Free Press and Free Speech Union of New Zealand

Her main advice, “Show up at a school board or regional council meeting as an ally”. To warm the waters, she starts out with a traditional Maori introduction, called a “Pepeha” as part of one’s “mihimihi” or story or personal history. “It’s a wonderful way to put context of who you are, and your connection to people and place. That immediately allows a more relaxed sense of communication between parties”, said Marie. She then presents issues in a non-confrontational way. “If they don’t listen”, she says “Then go run your own meeting somewhere else”.

Her address to her local school board of trustees, was delivered in an honorable, but firm way. She asked for a response within a month. Finally, she said, “giving them a timeframe to reply is important, and if none is forthcoming, then go back for another request”.  

Penny Marie is a passionate and strong “stand and deliver” speaker. There were more than one “note-taker” in the group.

Although Penny’s talk covers the broad subject of standing tall, she’s particularly been fired up by the recent so-called curriculum refresh and more specifically modifications to sex education aimed at our young children, not only in New Zealand but worldwide. 

As a recent example, our local Liger Leadership Academy, a private high school in Queenstown recently arranged for the organisa7on ‘Inside Out’ who are sponsored by the government to deliver a presentation to their students as part of the their Healthy Citizens curriculum. After a number of
parents raised concern and asked for more information about what would be presented to their
children, the school was receptive and arranged for ‘Inside Out’ to meet and present to parents first
which provided an opportunity for parents to ask questions directly to the presenter from Inside Out.
As a result, numerous parents chose to opt their children out of the presentation which is their legal
right and the school arranged for these children to participate in alternative activities.

As a side note, I did a quick overview of Liger, a relatively new private school in the area, and it looks like it’s based on some great experiential educational principles not found in the public system, plus it emphasizes a strong scholarship program for parents who find the $15,000 per annum tuition load a challenge.  

Penny stated, “Before these presentations most, if not all board members, teachers and most parents aren’t aware of the sexualtiy edcuation curriculum being imposed in their schools”. adding, Parents are so busy working and maintaining home-life they’re often unaware of what’s being presented”.  To make matters worse, either by design or for simplicity, unfortunately, the privacy act in New Zealand appears to be misused.” There is little support for young people who want an even and balanced perspective on these big matters. Penny sees a need to create a network of people to help those in need of support who are currently in the educational system. If people are wanting to help develop a network get in touch with her at rsesupport@proton.me She listed off a number of website links, and suggested people look into the story of Chloe Cole told on the Family First website, and Walt Meyer’s advice to those thinking of transitioning on the sexchangeregret.com website. In short, Penny is asking parents, teachers and boards to not only re-think “gender education” but to take a step back and take hands off our kids in this regards. see resistgendereducation.nz and familyfirst.nz for more on this.

Craig Rizzi, (L), Wanaka Voices for Freedom Coordinator, Deane Craft and others from Central Otago, have a long-table discussion before Penny’s talk in Cromwell

Penny’s other mission while on her tour is to encourage local community members to form local media content groups whether online and/or in print. If this interests you, get in touch Penny at penny@voicemedia.nz She has recently been helping promote New Zealand’s own new platform, Voice Media started by Mykeljon Winckel, who goes by Mj. This stand-alone subscription based platform is free for journalists, both professional and amateurs, to join, but asks readers to sign up for an subscription before gaining access to the site’s contributors and their content. As Mj puts it “Voice Media is publicly funded free speech platform as opposed to the tax paying tyrannical corporate media. It’s the Noah’s arc of free speech”.


I have started a channel on Voice Media, as has Penny, and I also encourage not only local community groups to get on board but other professionals as well by contacting Penny. The beauty of the platform is it’s  safe haven for one’s content. Unlike YouTube or Facebook, one’s work won’t get censored off the internet.

As if in perfect synchronicity, Penny has also been asked to coordinate Kerry Murray’s United Free Press’ Austria- New Zealand’s media community. UFP, we hope, will replace the globalists’ mouthpieces like United Press International, AP, and Reuters. (I used to work for UPI back in the day, but no more).
Penny will be encouraging local reporters and content providers to become accredited members of United Free Press, by applying to be a member and abiding by UFP’s code of ethics. Penny also recently joined the Free Speech Union of New Zealand which she encourages others to look into.

mainstream
mān′strēm″
noun
The prevailing current of thought, influence, or activity.
The prevailing opinion or practise.
That which is common; the norm.

The idea is to do an end run around, what I used to call, the Mainstream Media. I don’t call them that anymore, because it’s becoming obvious they’re no longer the mainstream. I also don’t like “Legacy Media” which some use, but prefer “Dinosaur Media” instead as it more accurately depicts their current status. I’m about to do another piece on the sea-change happening daily where big new media events are changing the landscape faster than anyone expected. It’s the “wild-west of communications”. My professors, nor anyone else could have predicted, when I took my university courses in communications and public relations in the early ‘80’s that we’d see such cool changes happening in real time. It’s an interesting time to be alive. Keep an eye on Penny Marie. She’s not in this for the glory, rather because she’s passionate about getting the truth out, in an open-hearted way based on compassion. And most likely she’ll pull it off on a global scale with her knack of tapping into the synchronicity of connecting people, Voice Media and United Free Press. I wish her God’s speed on her journey, and look forward to seeing where this leads. I plan on being there every step of the way.

It was so fulfilling to see our own soft-spoken, but powerful Bev Reynolds connect with Penny Marie at our recent meetup in Cromwell, NZ. Connecting passionate people to share ideas and a common goal is key to waking people up to government overreach.

Where to Begin, At the Beginning I Guess

07/07/2023

By Randall Richards
As I’ve written before, all my posted content mysteriously vanished, not only from this Telegram channel the day I left the Parliament protest grounds, but alsomy phone died, and was not able to take a charge, plus all the images were somehow encrypted. The only way to retrieve the data and videos (from many hours of recording interviews and capturing images) of the protest was, to turn the phone back on, which didn’t work. I say the NZ Government did this because, it happened to quite a few other people’s phones who witnessed and recorded uncomfortable truths, both in Wellington, and Melbourne. Also, there was a motive. And it makes reasonable sense that “remote data wiping” is a thing. Not to mention, the government’s intelligence office was right around the corner from the protest grounds. I eventually did get my data, images and vids back, thanks to a whizkid at Fix-it Wanaka. So if you’re ever in the same situation, go see Chris.
Anyway, let’s get back on horse and get this content back up where it belongs, on my outlets.

I’m just going through the early content again, which has been censored. And of course, seeing Alistair Harding’s documentary, We Came Here for Freedom, brings up emotions from being locked out. Maybe re-posting my content is a journey, so that we don’t forget the trauma we faced as a community of un-vaxxed, and a reminder that this can, and most certainly could, happen again.

We often say, “Thank you Covid” for bringing us together. I once heard a great description: When the vaccine came along, the community members, both locally and worldwide were like stalks of corn in a field. The vaccinated seemed to wither in some ways, and not stand as tall. Moreover, those of us who took a stand, seemed to stand taller, straighter, and then we looked around and said, “Oh, there you are!” and a community of awakened came into being, of all walks of life from all over the world.

Here are few shots of the early days, before the NZ convoy that took us New Zealand’s capital for the protest against mandates. I’ve got a story to tell, so pull up a chair for a front row seat. They’ll be plenty of videos and images to come.

A sign preventing entry for the “unwashed” at the local library
Singing my song, “Voices”, inspired by not only Voices for Freedom but the events of our rough-shod group being locked out of our reserved venue for very first VFF meeting. The restaurant is called Urban Grind (sorry no hyperlink) in Wanaka, and I haven’t been back since. Jared Stephan is with me on guitar. See the video of this song in a later post.
Looking back, the ridiculousness of situation, of actually being prevented from entering our own Wanaka town library is both comedic and tragic. Looking at this image, I still can’t believe it happened. We protested more than once at the entrance. See more on this in a later post.

Want a haircut? Sorry, You’ll have to figure yourself out. What? Here, Gerry Pyves, who was later the coordinator for Wanaka Voices for Freedom, is seen here, getting a haircut at one of our first Freedom Markets at Leanne Harding’s Camphill Coffee. Funny enough, as if future-proofing the community, Lone Wolf Hair just joined the compound at Leeane’s with his little barbershop trailer.

Stay tuned for tons more content, and I hope you enjoy the journey.

What’s Wrong With This Picture?

13/04/2023

Dr. Peter Canaday and Free Speech in NZ

13/04/2023

Dr. Canaday has been a staunch supporter of common sense, freedom of choice and free speech since the carnival of control started with the pandemic lockdowns and mandates here in New Zealand. Early on, he visited us here in Wanaka, and gave a very informative and well-researched talk at the local community centre which was well attended by over fifty people. The next day we drove to Queenstown to hear a panel of New Zealand experts present a roundtable discussion presenting their perspective of the situation. After the panel discussion ended, I asked Peter what he thought about the quality of the cases presented. He wasn’t impressed.

The statement below was just released by Dr. Canaday regarding the medical tribunal coming up here in New Zealand. More details will follow after the tribunal has concluded. However anyone able and willing to attend in support either in the gallery or outside are encouraged to do so in New Plymouth.

Dr. Canaday’s statement:

“The show begins at 0900 on Monday 17 April at the Devon Hotel in New Plymouth (390 Devon St East, Strandon, NP) and is scheduled to run through Friday 21 April.

The Tribunal was given an opportunity to live-stream this event due to an expected significant public interest in this proceeding. I had offered to provide the equipment and we had some volunteers at the camera, but they refused.

Dr. Peter Canaday

Their answer was to increase the publicly available seats from 15 to 30 and switch to a different hearing room. (Of these, I may retain about 5 for family, support people, close friends). 

To date, the hotel management has not provided any a priori method of dealing with any overflow of attendees, if there is one. I’m not sure what could be done for people that may come from outside NP if there are limited seats, but I can try to do what I can to help if that occurs. 

My lawyers have advised that I keep mum about any proceedings during the week, until the Tribunal is completed and we have their determination. After that, the gag will be off, and I’ll be ready to talk about it at length.

I have good relations with Adam Holloway and Matthew McClellan, and I think they are doing a good job within the limitations of a legal system that makes up “misconduct” and “misinformation” out of whole cloth.

The PCC has made enough mistakes that we intend to take advantage of them. For the moment, I have to live in this surreal world, as we all have since 2020. I feel confident that we have a chance to make it a bit less absurd.”

Mykeljon Winckel, who goes by Mj, has a a strong sense of “Dutch direction” running in his veins. He’s a first generation Kiwi, his parents immigrated from Holland before WWII. It’s very likely his latest initiative, Voice Media, will prove to be as successful as his other projects and careers, where he hit #1 on US Billboard jazz album in the music business, (hear here!) and a successful magazine publishing career. Learn more about Mj in this impromptu interview we did yesterday.

Ed Note: During the interview I mentioned how important it is to present professionally, by looking, acting professionally and being prepared. And then, we do this impromptu piece, looking a bit ragged. Well, I should speak for myself!

James O’Keefe’s New Whistleblower Platform. If I Were a Corrupt Operator, I’d Be Worried

19/03/2023

James O’Keefe, founder of Project Veritas, a 501-c-3 non-profit org in the U.S., broke the biggest story of his career on January 25th 2023 when he released an undercover video of Jordon Trishton Walker, Pfizer Director of Research and Development, Strategic Operations – mRNA Scientific Planner, with the long headline:
Pfizer Executive: ‘Mutate’ COVID via ‘Directed Evolution’ for Company to Continue Profiting Off of Vaccines,‘COVID is Going to be a Cash Cow for Us’, ‘That is Not What We Say to the Public’, ‘People Won’t Like That’, ‘Don’t Tell Anyone’

The video went viral, and evidently someone didn’t like his effective journalism and got to his board of directors, who promptly fired the O’Keefe from his lead position at Project Veritas. O’Keefe mentioned that when he started Project Veritas, he didn’t realize how important his choice of board members would be. There are numerous accounts of founders being fired from the organization they started. When I started Mountain Spirit Institute in the U.S., I had taken some pointers on the importance of not only a board composition you could trust, but crafting the founding documents and by-laws to protect you down the road. After the ship sails, you have little control of your security in the organization. So it does happen. I just wouldn’t want be the three board members who ousted him.. With a nagging conscious, they’ll clearly be on the wrong side of history.

Not one to take things sitting down, O’Keefe is fired up and ready for the good fight in the arena. It appears that those in power have messed with the wrong fellow. O’Keefe has launched a new website his for-profit business called Okeefe Media Group with the tagline:
“Empowering and equipping a movement of thousands of people like you to report things that are wrong, with the support of an in-house team of elite journalists to bring factual, unbiased stories to light/”
Although the website is live, the full program will launch, appropriately, on July 4 ’23.

I’ve been a fan of O’Keefe for years and watched him grow in confidence and delivery. It’s becoming obvious, that each of us, who are active and have a particular calling in these times to curb government overreach, run by a ship of fools, have arrived in this time with certain skills that brought us to this point in history. It’s clear that O’Keefe is the right person for the job at the right time, and boy, is he pissed. Listen below to this recent interview about his plans to exponentially grow the concept of undercover whistle blowing by putting little cameras in the hands of qualified journalists.

His motto on the old Project Veritas site, before he was kicked off, was “Be Brave – Do Something” I look forward to helping him in some way here in New Zealand, by letting our collective of real media journalists know about this, and seeing what kind of “interesting discussions” we can unearthed by encouraging key persons in power in the land of the sheep to stand apart from the herd. As a side note, don’t expect much more from Project Veritas. The board of directors did what they thought they had to do. Who knows how they were pressured – what threats they received. Notice, I’m not bothering to put their hyperlink in this piece.

James’ catchy video below features a black car and a sandwich which were, according to O’keefe, the flimsy reasons for his firing at Project Veritas.

By the way, his new tagline is “Truth. Justice. Impact.” He’s a smart guy. But it doesn’t take rocket science to see we need to be organized, and do something.
He’s looking for an army of journalists to go undercover. Who’s up for it?

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.
