Dialog with Police Re 5G Tower Fires, Wanaka, NZ

23/09/2025

From: Clay Drummond Media Ltd
Drummand’s Editorial Note: According to sources, it was [allegedly] arson.
About a year ago, when I was passing through Wanaka/Queenstown, I filmed two cell towers in Wanaka and recorded their EMF readings. Last night, those exact towers were either torched or malfunctioned and completely destroyed. Police are on scene investigating, but the media is silent.In the last few months, I know of four towers that have gone up in flames — looks like the fire is spreading. Using my entry grade level TriField EMF tester, I measured readings well over 20,000 — TriField themselves say anything over 1,000 is harmful to the body. Even Google recommends at least a 400-meter safety distance, yet these towers were built right next to homes and apartments.Video credit, Louise from Wanaka. I don’t condone arson or violence. You can see the video, and more images on Drummond’s post here.  

Peace and Kindness in the Middle East: The Contrast to the Media Narrative

06/07/2025

My 14 yr-old son turned me onto “Yes Theory” some years ago. There motto is “Seek Discomfort”. If you’ve not heard of them or seen any of their vids, I highly suggest heading to their YouTube channel. Here’s their latest installment which is a stark reminder of how the world is one way, and the media tries to tell you it’s another.

Exploring World’s Strangest Border: A Country Inside a Country Inside a Country? Why?
“When searching the globe for interesting places we always get drawn to these lines on the map that seem out of place little anomalies that tell us that something interesting must have happened there in the past we’ve flown around the world to investigate some of these anomalies before but in all of our travels we’ve never heard of one as unusual as this this unconventional spot on the map is an enclave inside an enclave the UAE inside of Oman which is inside of the UAE again like some sort of geographic Russian doll when we first heard about this we were obviously confused unusual borders like this are usually very tense but searching the internet for information didn’t yield many answers and seeing as we were already going to be in Oman for another.. :


“We [are] reminded so often of all of the bad there is so much so that we forget that this is our natural state to be generous to be kind and to be open, and I have to say that few places are as hospitable as the Middle East. And no place contrasts more in the reality on the ground versus what you’ll see in the news [than here]. Let’s continue breaking down these perceptions of each other, [and] refuse the divisive narrative that we’re fed, and always remain skeptical of someone trying to convince you otherwise.

The enemy isn’t across the border as these lovely people here have taught [us]. It it’s the ones are desperately trying to convince you that they are [the enemy when they’re are friends you just haven’t met yet].

NZ Govt Signs up for New Emissions Controls Costing Thousands for Each Citizen

02/02/2025

By Peter Williams
It took everyone by surprise. I only got wind of this when I saw the Taxpayers’ Union media release (I’ve copied it to the end of this email) at lunchtime today. My heart sank.

I appreciate that reasonable minds can differ on the urgency of climate change – but I think you’ll agree that sacrificing New Zealand’s economy for no material effect in emissions is the ultimate own goal.

In short the Government has just locked in the Ardern/Shaw anti-farming legacy, and signed New Zealand up for a brand new (2035) commitment that will see thousands of dollars for every man, woman, and child sent overseas for climate credits.

First some background.

You will recall that back in 2021, former Climate Change Minister James Shaw and then Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern flew to Glasgow and signed New Zealand up to a climate change/emissions target of a net reduction in emissions of 50 percent (compared to 2005) by 2030.

At the time, no meaningful economic analysis, public consultation, or debate occurred. In fact, the Ministry of Business Innovation and Employment voiced their concerns saying we are concerned that insufficient analysis has been undertaken to understand the fiscal and social impacts of a 45 percent reduction target, let alone the 50 percent that Ardern and Shaw secretly agreed…

The politicians just took this decision because, in their gut, they just felt it was the right thing to do. 

And what caused particular angst, was that the targets NZ signed up to include agricultural emissions (i.e. methane, or cow farts). Short of culling cows (and tanking New Zealand’s largest export industry), those emissions are impossible to avoid.

No other developed country faces the same problem. Because of our small population and disproportionate reliance on agriculture, New Zealand’s emissions makeup is more akin to a developing country, which, under the UN Paris Agreement, doesn’t have to cut emissions in the same way as we have signed up to.

Even if we could cut agricultural emissions, it would be pointless in terms of improving global warming: New Zealand’s agricultural sector is the most emissions-efficient in the world. Any calories/meat/milk-powder New Zealand doesn’t produce will be done elsewhere, and likely result in an overall increase in emissions.

These were the points made by the ‘groundswell’ farming protests, Federated Farmers, and even the National Party when they were in opposition!

To put the 50 percent net reduction target into perspective, half of New Zealand’s emissions relate to agriculture!

So that leaves non-agricultural emissions.

Thanks to Covid, in 2020 New Zealand shut down most of the economy to lockdown for months. Despite the Covid shutdown, official data shows that emissions declined by only three percent that year!

So the idea New Zealand can or will get to a 50 percent reduction by 2030 is absolutely fanciful. To hit the 2030 target emissions would have to fall by five percent per year!

How much is the 2030 target going to cost households?

There are lots of variables that go into forecasting where New Zealand’s emissions are going to be in five year’s time (e.g. the strength of the economy, how many trees are planted, whether we get wet winters and hydro lakes get rain etc).

But what Ardern/Shaw signed us up for means that missing the target (and there is absolutely no doubt we will miss it) determines how much New Zealand is going to have to cough up and pay for international emission units.

Last year Treasury worked out what New Zealand is on the hook for. Are you sitting down?

Up to $24 billion is the latest official estimate for the 2030 deadline.

To put that into perspective, $24 billion is more than the current cost of NZ Super. $12,000 per household!

And that’s not even counting the cost of lost economic growth, higher energy costs, and lost exports.

I know these numbers are unbelievable, and it’s been something the Taxpayers’ Union has been struggling to put into perspective and to communicate how on Earth to raise the alarm about the seriousness of what New Zealand faces. It’s a dozen Dunedin Hospitals. Or 34 times larger than the total new spending allowance Nicola Willis has set for this year’s Government budget.

Because the payment isn’t due until 2030, it’s just outside the Treasury’s “forecast horizon” so doesn’t yet appear on any of the Government’s fiscals. 

I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say that it’s Ardern and Shaw’s ticking time fiscal time bomb.

Late last night, Climate Change Minister Simon Watts announced that he is committing New Zealand to even harder targets for 2035!

Simon Watts is set to sign NZ up for a second eye-watering bill for 2035.

Beehive announcement

Once signed-up, it means New Zealand will have to pay a second time for a target that Christopher Luxon / the National Party have previously said is totally achievable!

It’s bad enough that New Zealand is hopelessly off track when it comes to meeting the existing 2030 target, and the $24 billion bill left by Ardern and Shaw, but to do it all over again is nothing short of economic sabotage.

Why haven’t the media covered this?

The media are in dire straits. Newsrooms are a fraction of the size they used to be, and those who are left are probably so young they either don’t understand the economics or are so committed to extreme views of ‘climate change mitigation at any cost’ that they just don’t care.

And, I’m sorry to be so blunt, but the only reason Simon Watts’ office would wait until 8:30pm on a Thursday night is so that the morning radio shows are already planned and there won’t be ‘breaking news’ style coverage.

It speaks volumes that Watts waited until after Parliament rose for the week, and with Parliament in recess next week, by the time political journos get back to work, the news will have moved on.

As far as I can see, with the exception of the Taxpayers’ Union, Federated Farmers, and other watchdog and industry groups, this announcement has been totally missed!

If there is any chance for the economy to get back on track, we must ensure Christopher Luxon, Winston Peters, and David Seymour, overrule Simon Watts and set a realistic target. 

Will you join me in emailing the Coalition’s Party Leaders?

While the USA has pulled out, and other countries hedge their bets, why is Luxon’s Government doubling down? 

Last week, the US pulled out of the Paris Agreement, and with the UK’s ‘net zero’ intentions in question (their Labour Government is ‘going for growth’ too!),  it makes no sense for the New Zealand government to sign up for a second round of ‘ambitious’, sorry, ‘impossible’ targets if they are serious about growing the economy.

Simon Watts has got this one wrong. Introducing more ambitious targets to smash the economy harpoons Christopher Luxon’s attempts to ‘Go for Growth’. Take 30 seconds to tell the Government that.

But something needs to be done about climate change, right?

New Zealand is already one of the most emissions-efficient countries in the world. More than 80 percent of our electricity comes from renewable sources. Our farmers are the most emissions-efficient at what they do. We already have an emissions trading scheme that covers more greenhouse gas emissions than any other country in the world. Of course, we need to keep up the momentum, but it’s not right to say we’re not already ‘doing our bit’.

Paying the rest of the world billions of dollars serves to make New Zealand poor – it doesn’t serve to solve global warming when the US, China, and Russia are not part of the same agreement/commitment.

Christopher Luxon gets this – well he did when he was Opposition Leader anyway.

The $24 billion dollar cheque could buy 12 Dunedin Hospitals. It could build 16 Transmission Gully Motorways. It could build 40,000 new school classrooms. It could even be used to fund more in-country climate initiatives!

Simon Watts just turned the $24 billion liability into a potential $48 billion liability. It’s economic sabotage on a grand scale. We need to stop him.

In a country cancelling infrastructure, health, and education investment due to the fiscal crisis can we really afford to burn billions on an unobtainable climate target?

Make no mistake, I want Christopher Luxon and his Government to succeed and deliver for New Zealand. I know the Taxpayers’ Union are committed to sensible climate change mitigation policy. But if last night’s decision stands, Mr Luxon (and the country) is destined to fail. We can’t let that happen.
Email the Prime Minsiter and Party Leaders

This is the media release the Taxpayers’ Union sent out reacting to Watts’ late night announcement:

MEDIA RELEASE
SIMON WATTS JUST HARPOONED THE PRIME MINISTER’S ‘GOING FOR GROWTH’ PLAN

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

At 8pm last night – timed, presumably, to avoid pick up on the morning news shows – Climate Change Minister Simon Watts released New Zealand’s 2035 Nationally Determined Contribution to combatting climate change under the Paris Agreement.

The target, which locks unavoidable agricultural emissions into New Zealand’s international targets, are even more ‘ambitious’ than the 2030 targets made when Jacinda Ardern/James Shaw flew to Glasgow. They will cost future taxpayers literally tens of billions of dollars in penalties.

Taxpayers’ Union Executive Director, Jordan Williams, said “Ardern’s 50% emissions reduction by 2030 target was ludicrous. Treasury estimates that in just five years taxpayers will be on the hook for up to $24 billion – that’s $12,000 per New Zealand household. The Government has now signed us up for another bill for five years later.”

“To not only lock this cost in, but go even harder for 2035 is economic sabotage. Watts and his Cabinet colleagues are not going to be around in a decade to have to pay the bill, but are doubling down on Paris at the very time our trading partners are pulling back.”

“Half of New Zealand’s emissions are agricultural. To achieve the 51-55% reduction Simon Watts has put NZ on the hook for would mean we either must shut down parts of our agricultural sector, or just about everything else. To say this is fantasy does Mickey Mouse a disservice.”

“The only way New Zealand avoids paying tens of billions in international carbon credits is if every square inch of Otago and Southland is planted in pine.  But even the Government’s own experts advise that pathway is not credible.”

“So this decision will see New Zealanders having to stump up billions more to buy international credits in a decade’s time.”

“The Taxpayers’ Union has long supported sensible emissions reductions using our world leading Emissions Trading Scheme. But such a scheme can only operate with realistic targets and collective international action. Sacrificing our economic prosperity at the altar of good intentions when other countries are pulling back is nothing short of economic sabotage.”

“Minister Todd McClay was on radio this morning talking about how the Government want to ‘power up’ agricultural exports. He’s sure in for a shock.”

“Meanwhile, Simon Watts has just harpooned the Prime Minister’s ‘Going for Growth’ plan. Mr Luxon, Mr Peters, and Mr Seymour need to step in and overrule this decision.”

They Pulled the Plug on Alex Jones, but..

14/11/2024

By Randall Richards

I starting listening to Alex Jones by scanning the airwaves on shortwave radio many years ago, before he was on the internet. I knew then, he was the real deal. As Tucker Carlson says, “You know the truth when you hear it. You can smell it.”

When a court-ordered “sealed bid” auction just resulted in the shutdown of Jones’s website and his Infowars studio today the internet exploded.

As I write, his X feed is breaking 4.6 million views overall, only hours after starting his newly created backup studio in Austin, Texas.

Go to Alex Jones.network now to hear the real news.

The creators of this crazy and unconstitutional plan have no idea of the unintended consequences they’ve unleashed. The sealed bid auction was completely controlled. The rules were not based on the highest bidder, rather the best bidder, chosen by the court. That best bidder, in their eyes is The Onion. You can now kiss them goodbye. (Notice, no hyperlink). Agents came in while Jones was on the air and actually pulled the plugs of the studio equipment. Go to infowars.com and you’ll see “Site unavailable until further notice.”

Meanwhile, the widespread outpouring of support for Jones is self-evident. Nobody likes a bully, especially if it’s a government who has forgotten it works for the people.

Jones interviews formere Lawyer Viva Frei as I write this.

Napoleon once said, ‘Never interfere with an enemy while he’s in the process of destroying himself.’  So enjoy the ride folks, it’s getting really interesting. You’re watching the power structure in self-destruct mode.

And while I’m quoting, I’ll add another. The times we’re in now, is best illustrated by this one: “There are decades when nothing happens, and there are weeks when decades happen.”

Like him or hate him, Jones has been right far more than he has been wrong and deserves to be heard. It’s his constitutional right. We’re watching the fall of the old media in realtime right before our eyes. It’s surreal, a bit unnerving, but no one can argue – It’s an exciting time to be alive.

You can see his new platform called Alex Jones Live here. Go ahead, help break the internet.

Ode to the Republic

05/11/2024

By Randall Richards
Happy Voting Day, Enjoy it While You Can**

The following is a good natured exchange on Farcebook between an old friend from my hometown (New Hampshire, USA) and me. It’s self explanatory but in keeping with an “Ode” theme, I’m also including some lyrics from a song I wrote some 30 years ago, which seems applicable. Happy reading.
My friend posted this meme of Farcebook recently, and here’s my response:

Hi James, others
I implore you to do one thing and that’s to look outside your newsfeed because you’re being lied to in real time. I didn’t want to believe it, who does? The power structure is scared to death of being called out on their decades of corruption and are hoping, and banking on, you won’t pull back the curtain and see the truth. What I say sounds crazy, but our future depends on you and others taking off the blinders and waking up to outright lies and defamation that you’re being fed. I warn you though it will take courage. Some of us have the advantage of long-term assimilation to the facts. You don’t have that advantage and the ride may be rough, but I and others are here for you. Again I implore you to at least consider taking the red pill, because all I’m promising you is the truth and nothing more. Oh and by the way, it has less to do with left and right than you can imagine

Addendum:
A good place to start would be to investigate who funds the media. You can find that on Yahoo Finance.
Do you still trust the banks? Remember the Enron and too big to fail events? Do you think they have changed their behavior since then, especially regarding military industrial machine? Lastly, consider reading or listening Whitney Webb.
Best to you on your journey.
Randall

This was my friend’s response:
Randall, I believe that you are sincerely reaching out to share what you believe to be important truths. It concerns me, however, that your comment was offered as a reaction to a post that decries bigotry in very general terms, and offers a pithy resolution to the “paradox of tolerance….” I would be surprised if your intent were to defend bigotry, but it’s hard to understand what else prompted you to post this comment here and now.
I hope that your reference to “the red pill” is intended to encourage general skepticism toward dominant social narratives, rather than an embrace of the fantasies of QAnon, MAGA, incel culture, and the “Alt Right.” Unfortunately, back here in the ‘States, the “red pill” metaphor is often deployed in the service of those collective delusions.

And today’s response on voting day in the U.S:
Hey James, Others,
Happy voting day there Stateside. Good luck.**
Good to hear back from you and thanks for your reply in the comments. I actually had a draft running, but FB deleted it. So I’ll give it another go. Yeah, I’m trying to reach out, which is an exception, because my knowledge usually falls on deaf ears. So generally, it’s not worth my time anymore. There are some you just can’t reach. But a fellow journalist is quoted as saying, there are many pathways to the truth, and some find their way through one issue or another, and then it hits them – “They’ve been lied to.” Then it’s a matter of prying off the bandage to see how bad it is.

I love your writing style. Top notch my friend. I could take some lessons from you. Here’s my response. I trust you’ll take it in good faith. Hopefully the days of respectful discourse are not of days gone by.

Your wrote, that my comment was “offered as a reaction to a post that decries bigotry in very general terms” is not how I see it. The post suggests that those on the “Right”, one side, hates blacks, brown, Asian, etc. and the other side, “Left” hates bigots.  Firstly, I put the left and right in quotes, because the terms are almost meaningless. I didn’t leave the Democratic Party, it left me. Having said that there is an extremist element that has co-opted the Democratic Party. You’d be mortified to know the truth. That’s why I said it would be a rough journey if you and others start doing the hard research.  The meme was not based on fact. No, I don’t defend bigotry in any form, nor even, “hate” which your post evidently advocates. Love your enemy, remember.  My response, in all due respect, was not meant to be pithy in any manner.  That you find it hard to understand what prompted me to post my comment is just the point that we’re on different planes of understanding.

 A good friend yesterday made the analogy that learning the facts of the backstory is a bit like mathematics. It starts with bath arithmetic, etc., then algebra, and if you can handle that, calculus and then delving into quantum physics. At some point, especially me, I’ll get lost at about the calculus level, (if I’m lucky!) and drop out at that point.  Learning the true history, and facts behind the current situation is similar to my analogy. People can handle the truth up to certain point, then cognitive dissonance sets in. Yeah, “the Military Industrial Complex may not have my interests in mind” or “Yeah, there were some mistakes with the vaccine rollout”, and “Yes, the media might be owned by three corporations but, it can’t be that controlled.” “Partial truth” is good enough for a lot of people. It’s not good enough.
Yes, my comment about the red pill, was not in reference to the republican party. Sorry, I wasn’t clear on that. It’s about challenging the illusion, per the Matrix movie. Author of the “Great Unraveling” Julius Ruechel has brilliantly addressed the issue of mass-formation, which I encourage you read/watch. In summary, it’s as if we’re trying in some way to get y’all, people on both sides, to snap out of it.
Your listing of  Q’Anon,  MAGA, “incel”, and Alt Right is curious and, respectfully, shows you’re a bit uninformed. “Q” is a listing of clues supposedly from someone on the inside of government. Never had time for that, and frankly I think it’s a danger to the republic, (notice I didn’t say democracy). “Anon” is a movement of onliners devoted to deciphering the clues or “drops” from “Q”. Again, a time waster in my opinion. “Alt-right” is a term like “Conspiracy Theory” that’s a powerful label created (the latter, created by the CIA, look it up) to marginalize with the sweep of a hand. And it’s effective.  Yes, you’re spot on, regarding “collective delusions” but what I find interesting is it’s playing out on both sides, more acutely on “The Left”.  Seeing a sea of “Red hatters” is a cautionary vision for me too. Of course Thiel’s backing of JD Vance is not a good sign. Have you heard of the Bilderberg Group, or CFR? He’s on their board of directors, and no, it’s not conspiracy. It’s fact. Please read up. As a side note, I’m not “anti-vax” but RJK Jr’s book shows that Big Pharma, and the agencies they’ve co-opted, don’t have your health in mind, and that’s putting it very mildly. They have a long history of money-making at all costs.

Ok, so I read this page on Whitney Webb. Are you going to support Trump, the good friend of Jeffrey Epstein?
Ted, Respectfully, your comment is irrelevant and incorrect.  And you say, you ‘read a page’ on Whitney Webb. The problem is, one group has done deep research and the other is fed a narrative and believes it based on a corporate media feed.
Of course Trump is not ideal, and whether he’s been convicted of rape or not, I admittedly don’t know for fact one way or the other, but have read it was a complete set-up. (As a side note, you do know, I assume, that to get a conviction, it used to require a unanimous decision on each count by a jury of your peers. The NY judge allowed each juror to come up with his own decision on individual counts, and that called those convictions. That wasn’t justice.  It makes for great pablum, unless you look into it.  Of course he should not be calling anyone stupid or other insults. I wouldn’t want to spend a weekend with Trump. But…Watch the “Art of the Surge”, The whole documentary series of a behind the scenes reporting during this campaign with an embedded team. It’s a rare opportunity to see history in real time. As difficult as it might be, make the stretch and see the real person vs. the “straw man” the media has painted of him, (and Alex Jones, by the way, which should trigger a few!)
Ted wrote:
It seems like you think: Peter Thiel, Tucker Carson, RFK Jr., DJT, etc. are truth-tellers instead of just self-serving lie-peddlers. I don’t think you’re correct.
Your comments about truth tellers/lie peddlers is not based on fact, and, you “don’t think” I’m correct? It’s matter of knowledge from source materials. Respectfully, do some research, (happy to provide a book list for you), then get back to me.
Martha writes:
I am basing my decision to vote for Harris on information I’ve received directly from people who have dedicated their lives to defending democracy on the world stage (Gen. Kelly) or original documents (Project 2025).
Admittedly, I’ve not delved into Project 2025 yet, although have had a cursory look and understanding of it. I need to look at it. I trust you remember when Obama cleaned house of all the top brass generals and installed new ones. Why do you think he did that?

In conclusion, from my side perspective and experience, I’ve seen the huge amounts of censorship that has kept “the left” from seeing the facts. So I understand the slumber, and the reluctance to look outside the info bubble. I was once accused by that “crazy guy” Ed Brown*, (anyone remember him?) from Sullivan County, NH, USA. They locked him up and threw away the key. Yeah, he was inflammatory, and wasn’t good with people*.
*(All that exists online about Brown is a Wikipedia entry. While I don’t argue with their record of convictions, I’m completely dubious of Wikipedia, and take what they say with a grain of salt.)
But Brown once said to me, “It’s all good that your hobby is researching the deep state and all that, but what are you actually doing to spread the truth and push back against the bullies?” At the time, I was offended at his frankness. Now, I’m a busy guy.

** Since I wrote this piece yesterday, since Trump’s win, I thought I’d better clarify the meaning of “Enjoy it while you can” in the header. Since Harris’s loss, it could be construed that I was gloating, which is not what I meant.
In fact, there’s a fair chance that the globalists and deep state, and 3-letter agencies, CIA, etc., who have it out for Trump, will stage another assassination attempt, and/or a false flag event. Prefacing that no-one is coming to save us, Trump is better than Harris, and talks a good game at least. It’s fairly clear the powers that be are scattering like rats on a ship. They don’t want to held accountable for their crimes. So they’ll do whatever it takes to avoid being brought to justice.
Make no mistake, these are delicate times, and let’s pray, meditate, do Hawaiian affirmations – whatever it takes to hold the peace, be welcoming and open hearted and above all compassionate. There are some wonderful posts by people on both sides saying to stay calm and enjoy the ride. I suggest readers here do the same. Trump is not the monster the mainstream media has made him out to be, nor is he a savior. But after generations of entrenched power structures, he’s one of our best bets (not the only one though) of making this right.
So, in short, what I meant was, buckle up. It could be an interesting ride.

Oh, yes, an Ode to The Republic,

Empowering Change: A Brief on the Inspiring NZDSOS Conferences in New Zealand

22/09/2024

By Randall Richards
Yesterday, I attended the NZDSOS, (New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out With Science) called “Empowering Change” held in Christchurch. There were range of speakers from as far away as the UK and the US, who informed and inspired an audience of six-hundred. The event will also be held next weekend on the 28th of September in Auckland and tickets are still available here. The lineup is impressive:

The event was emceed by former Quantas Senior Pilot, Graham Hood, who did a fabulous job of setting a compassionate, humorous tone, but one with a “Time to roll up our sleeves”, pitch, where we need to spread the truth about what’s really going on today in the field of health. Speakers informed, inspired and motivated the crowd, with deep dives into the facts, productive strategies and tactics going forward, and the psychological realities ahead. These speakers had either been mandated out, sidelined from their leadership roles in medicine, and all had faced censorship of one sort or another. What they all have is a sense honor, humour and determination that wowed the crowd and left us feeling like we will all get through this. Below are some snippets of the key speakers.

Graham Hood opened the event by saying, “We’re living in perilous times. One thing COVID has done – We’ve found our tribe, and that is a positive of the past few years. But we still have to fight to have bodily autonomy, and sovereignty.” He then asked the audience, “Fear. What is fear? It’s False Evidence Appearing Real.

“Wuhan presented us with images of people dying in the streets then, a whole bunch of companies were racing to develop a vaccine.” Dr. Peter McCullough was asking, ‘Hey wait! has anyone looked in the cupboard to see what might already work such as Vitamin D or Ivermectin?’ There was a solution, but, that would make the emergency act null and void. So what did they do? They deregistered and shut down these doctors lives.”
Hood went on to mention a good maxim: “Identify the problem before you solve it.. There aren’t that many problems that have to be solved immediately.”
“During my flying career as a pilot, we were trained, in a crisis, there is an emergency message we are trained to use, ‘Captain YOU MUST LISTEN’. so the co-pilot can get the attention of the pilot. So in this case, we say, ‘Government, you must listen, you are are seen as only protecting your backside.” He then welcomed the first speaker.


The well-spoken, (and well prepared) Dr. Angus Dalgleish gave a talk entitled, “Early covid virus Observations and how they promote cancer” He started by stating, that there exists negligence and incompetence on a grand scale.” Dr. Angus, presented an incredibly detailed series of slides showing, in short, why the virus was a setup and wasn’t at all what we were told. Since I’m not a science writer, I won’t go into the details, but in another piece, will point out resources and links for readers to gather their own conclusions. Suffice it to say this fellow knows his stuff and is sticking to his story. He said, “A Vaccine was not needed in the first place and the whole thing was run like a military operation.” Adding, “We were told ‘you’re the only one who’s thinking this way, so shut up.’ Well, I will not shut up.” That got the our audience going. In one of his closing remarks he said, “The biggest problem we have at this time is censorship.”

Dr. Paul Marik, is a leading edge doctor from South Africa, currently in living in the U.S. His talk was entitled , “Patient Empowerment/People Empowerment,”
He started by stating, “Shedding is a real issue. That’s the bad news. But there are things we can do to mitigate the the negative effects.” He asked, “Where we were in the past, with lockdowns and mandates, was not a good place. And now, where we want to go to?”

“We have to empower ourselves, going forward. Excess deaths, the experts say, are from COVID and global warming – (Just a reminder, excess deaths are deaths of people who shouldn’t have died). You can’t trust the medical journals, because the data is manipulated and false. There is something else causing these excess deaths.” Marik showed a slide from life insurance data showing proof of young people dying. and another slide showed, the more vaccines, the greater the chance of getting COVID. And yet another slide clearly showed the uptake in cancer related deaths. He stated, “Cancer is preventable. It’s a disease of modern mankind part of the Hominidae family. So why is that chimps don’t get cancer? Something in our lifestyle in what we eat and what we do.

A recent example is the super model Elle MacPherson, who ignored her doctor’s medical advice, and shares her secret of surviving cancer.”


“Here are a few things you can do.” Marik stated, “Vitamin D 10k units per day, which is good for depression, cancer, COVID. Use red lights in bedroom in the evening, and the worst thing to do is eat the first thing in the morning, or the last thing before you go to bed.”

Dr. Marik concluded by saying, “We’re moving from a sick care system to health care system. It’s Important to take charge of our lives.”


Dr. Alison Goodwin, gave a detailed history of NZDSOS, since their first action, the presentation of their 1st open letter to the Ministry of Health, The Prime Minister, and eight other key government officials. They also issued, and still do, legal actions against the use of provisional consent to rollout a novel injection (2021), in March 2022 the challenged the mandates, in ’22/23 NZDSOS brought forward individual cases and challenged suspensions, and supported the NZTSOS (teachers) appeal. In 2024 they filed to pause fluoridation and are challenging against the MCNZ regarding the Guidance Statement. Goodwin’s closing slides included this powerful list of requirements in order to move on:

Dr. Matt Shelton‘s (of NZDSOS) talk was entitled, “The past will not equal the future if we are determined enough. Strategies, tactics and psychological realities for our future.


Dr. Shelton gave a riveting and inspiring speech showing us a possible way forward from the quagmire in which we find ourselves of deceptive government health practices worldwide. He started by mentioning a an important study called the “Japanese Nakahara study” – “These results are so extraordinary, we have to take notice. It hasn’t been refuted or retracted and shows the universality of the negative impact of the vaccines.”
He also mentioned the “Thai Boys study” in Thailand, where a whopping 3.5% of the study had clinical evidence of myocarditis . This was the first study that gave a ballpark figure. This was followed by a study in Switzerland, where health care workers showed a 2.7% incidence of myocarditis from boosters where they looked at troponin (a protein in blood that indicates damage to heart muscle), and death of some heart cells. The suggestion: that there is a widespread effect on the heart from the vaccine.”
“What we need to look for is “triangulation” There was the Nathan Meade study was retracted, but has since been republished. In short, what’s happening in real life is much worse than is officially being reported.”

“We have to hang on to our intuition. If the other side won’t even engage or tell us that we’re wrong, that says we’re on the right track. The most worrying thing has been the silence from all the institutions, and how how quickly the lines were drawn, and there has been no debate on the science. [When we started presenting these studies’] we thought, BOOM now people will wake up, we’ll have the answer. But that hasn’t happened.”
“The story for white clot is different. These are tangible signs that seems to be affecting people who have had jabs. This is what embalmers are saying, labs, surgeons. There are enough of these people now, and we’ve had several years of this seemingly horrendous phenomenon that needs an explanation.” Shelton added, “We can’t work in isolation, we can’t work without funding. It will take a loud voice to speak the truth to power.”
Shelton said to the audience, “Welcome to those of you in the audience who are curious, or who are from the NZ Medical Council, or…. the intelligence services.”
“Everyone needs to move from being passive supporters. When someone says to me, ‘Thank you for what you’re doing’ I respond by asking them what they’re doing to affect change. We could move mountains, if all those people that know that something is wrong , speak out and do something. “

“So, most of the country [here in NZ], must be antivaxxers.” said Shelton, “It’s now more than six months since vaccination, and booster rates are slipping, and everyday people aren’t taking them.” On another note, he continued, “Everyone is looking for a leader, Even in the freedom movement, there is still a tendency to wait for the cavalry to come over the hill. We are the cavalry.”
“We don’t just want you to be behind us, but to stand shoulder to shoulder with us. So many were at the Wellington Protest against the mandates. That was the beginning of the end. There is going to be a tipping point. The human herd will eventually notice when enough of its members are not there anymore. We have to keep telling the truth, not worrying about where the chips may fall. We’re occupying the landscape that is ours.”
Find a country the USA has invaded where they’re still there. They haven’t been [in the occupied country] for all that long. The countrymen, the freedom fighters kick them out after a time.
We have a lot of brothers and sisters waiting to be inspired, and model behavior. There are many stories of people trying to connect. They are inching back from the narrative, and we need as many people as possible. I would ask people to read and re-read the posts that our media team has posted. Everything is in there. We know they are shadow banning us on social media and the news so please share this information.


Katie Ashby-Koppens, a lawyer based in New Zealand and Australia, presented “Success Stories and empowerment” on her work with various important cases both in Australia and New Zealand, related to transgressions by the government against human rights and health freedom.

Ashby-Koppens most notably worked with Voices for Freedom when evidence obviously showed in 2021 the negative effects of mandates regarding border workers, corrections, medical professionals, teachers, not to mention the mandatory use of vaccine passes. These were challenged by Katie and her team.

In 2022, Voices for Freedom met with the Human Rights Commission and issued a press release stating in its opening lines: “Voices for Freedom yesterday gave a voice to those negatively impacted by the Government’s Covid-19 responses….”

Also of note, was Ashby-Koppens’ work, in part, on the legal aspects, to help relieve the plight of the Mahelino Patelesio family, who were forced into “house arrest” on the small island of Tokelau which is “a non self-governing territory” of New Zealand. The arrest had devastating effects on the family. The arrest, was perpetrated on the family because they refused the Pfizer injection. The family eventually was allowed to move to New Zealand, where well wishers greeted them with open arms. Also in 2023, Rodney Hide interviewed Mr. Patelesio on Reality Check Radio. The piece is entitled, “Mahelino Patelesio On Home Arrest In Tokelau & Standing Up For His Beliefs.”
(Editor’s Note: It’s worth noting, that In 2022, Liz Gunn of FreeNZ broke the story by posting an interview with Patelesio , and played an important role in helping to get the family to safety in New Zealand.)

Across the ditch in Australia, Katie has been busy with the following legal actions: “AVN vs TGA, Federal court, 5-12 yr olds”, “Dr. Parry vs TGA,HIgh Court re: 6 month to 6 year olds” and “Fidge vs Phizer and Maderna, Federal Court, LNP-modMRNA=GMO” Most recently, in a letter addressed to the Australian Department of Health on the 18th, Sept. 2024, PJ O’brien and Assoc, a law firm with which Katie is associated, addresses DNA contamination in Australian mRNA Covid shots: “Synthetic plasmid DNA contamination has been detected in Australian vials of Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccines at levels of between seven to 145 times the allowable limit, a new report shows.”

Graham Hood, the EmCee interjected between speakers, by saying, “The people who have done this, must be held to account. But we also have to live in a more tolerant society. They will be held accountable, but we have to forgive, once they pay for what they have done. When someone says, I really blew that’ I say, ‘You will be embraced by a great many people.”

Founder of Reaching People, David Charalambous, a communications specialist, presented on “Communications, Messaging and Human Behavior – Reaching people.” Having worked for Outward Bound for about 15 years, I found this presentation fascinating, and I think rest in the audience did as well. I found it so fascinating, I forgot to take any images of him.

David asked the simple question, “How did I see things, when others didn’t?
He continued, “And then the consequences came: It’s ‘the picnic for one’, prior to that it wasn’t like that, until you started bringing up “topics”.
“The problem with [having those consequences] is we start to self censor. That’s one of the greatest weapons of propaganda, It leads to apathy. But more importantly, speaking up leads and motivates others to speak up as well. There’s huge power in numbers. March 2022 was quite alarming time, but my 20 years of experience and my studies, I was seeing systems worldwide [that suddenly] stopped working on a scale I’d never seen before.”
“I researched – How to use effectively communicate to someone with different views than yours. And that is very different than communicating with someone within your same group.”
Charalambous told a story about woman who was taking a walk in a city park. She was not wearing a mask, and encountered an elderly lady there. The elderly woman immediately confronted her, wagging her finger, saying “You should be wearing a mask.” But the maskless woman, instead of “stepping into the ring”, just asked, simply asked, “How can I help you, my dear? I’m here to listen.” And the masked lady replied, “I just need a hug.”
Charalambous said, “Then both of their defenses came down. The moral of the story, ‘Do not step in the ring’ when you’re confronted with someone on the opposite side of the fence. It wont solve anything, it just plays into their hands.”

He said, “Seek to first Understand”
“I’m extremely hopeful, when people know what’s going on, successes will go through the roof.
He briefly covered some key examples of effective influence after having reminded us about the famous Milgram Experiment : “So what works best it tell people what their neighbors do. We are social animals in packs, communities. We look to what others are doing for cues and clues for what to do. It’s really shocking that incentives have a key effect on behavior. David then showed a quote on the screen:
‘There are two reasons for everything – A good reason and a real reason.’ JP Morgan

“We on this side, have been awful at predicting behavior. But the establishment is good at it.
Further, there is no baseline for the description ‘antivax’ or ‘conspiracy theorist’. This is why the terms work so well. You cannot convince others of your point of view when you are in “different groups”, Until you find common ground, you won’t get anywhere.
The solution is to find a way that we become a “we”, instead of “us and them”. Unless you find common ground, you don’t continue the conversation.
We have to drop that winning label . Would you rather get your family friends back or …be right.
How you say something ismor important vs what you say.”

The emcee, Mr. Hood, concluded the day by starting with the following, “Don’t mine for darkness”. (Which reminds me of the Native American saying, “Keep your face to the sunshine”)

Hood continued, “Invite the government to tell us where we’re wrong. [But also], if we keep drawing attention to this Health Tyranny, then the wall will come down. These speakers you see here on stage today need to be brought from obscurity to where they can bring out the truth.” adding,
“So, build the bridge first and get off the soap box.. Give those that have been fooled, a way to save face. You have the curse of knowledge. You’re in the 10 percent that isn’t suspectable., So give them a back door out, and simply say, ‘You’ve been lied to.'”

Dr. Fre, founder of the Asklepion Academy and author “Free Your Smile and Love Your Teeth”. He’s a retired dentist with a mission no less than transforming dental practices in New Zealand. Like the other speakers before him who spoke about the healthcare system as a “sick care system” with monetary incentives to get patients on drugs rather than actual treatment, Fre reports that the dental profession is no better.

He showed an informative & uplifting video, (which he created himself) of what is possible for the future of dentistry. His mission is to arm his students with knowledge, to not only take more of an active role in their own dental healthcare, but, once armed with this knowledge, to give dentists his book, and ask them to consider another way of practicing dentistry. He’s a visionary, and in his presence, one has the feeling, (like being around many people in these truth movements), that you’re listening to someone creating a new future before your eyes, and there’s something historical about what he’s saying. Don’t miss either his talk in Auckland, or make a point to stop by his website, take his free online course, and.. buy his book.


Other excellent speakers at the conference were, (and most will also be at the second Auckland conference) are Chris Dekker of NZMPS/Red Union; Lynda Wharton of Health Forum NZ; ; Kane Titchener and Mary Byrne of Fluoride Free NZ; William Bisset of the Brillin Clinic, and Anna McAnndra and Bruce McIntyre of reEnvision Health, NZ.

Chris Dekker of NZMPS/Red Union

Editor’s Note: My motto is publish first, edit second. Well not exactly, but I do tend to add content, corrections and links once the item is published, and this piece is no different. In this updated edit, I’ve added more content on Dr. Fre and Katie Ashby-Koppens‘ presentation, a note about Liz Gunn’s efforts in the Patelesio case, and have included a list of all the other speakers and their organisations.

The “Live Free or Die” State: Man Tells FBI to Go Away

18/09/2024

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.|
