Freedom Village, The story of the 2022 New Zealand Convoy and Freedom Village Camp at Parliament Grounds
Freedom Village is a new book by Sue Grey and Alan Simmons. It’s the people’s story of the “controversial” 2022 occupation of the New Zealand Parliament grounds. It’s a confronting story of hope, courage, collaboration and determination in the face of abuse of state power.
Grey says of the people who contributed their stories to the book that “The story was in them, and they wanted to get it out to the the public. Creating the book was similar to the energy that was present at the protest, very inspiring.” Grey adding, “Now it’s time to get the story told. I thought I knew the story because I was there, but now I have a fuller picture of what happened, as told from other’s perspectives and experiences who were there.”
People united to reclaim freedoms from government overreach. They soon learned that the real battle line was for control of information, and for the public mind and mood. The authors were there from the beginning and record this historic event revealing shocking information many would prefer to remain hidden.
This book is a historic record of the 23-day protest camp, and has information, hidden from the public. This publication goes hand-in-hand with other excellent projects in New Zealand, such the films River of Freedom, and We Came here for Freedom, which expose the truth of what really happened at the protest against government overreach and media manipulation at the behest of powerful forces. Much of the untold story would have remained hidden without the startling revelations in this book.
From the book’s website: “Each generation needs a war, or a Woodstock, to remind us of what it is to be human, the magic of people power and the rewards of finding the courage to step up for humanity. Our Woodstock was the Freedom Village at New Zealand’s Parliament grounds in Wellington for 23 days starting 8 February 2022″.
“Perhaps our most important role is to sprinkle seeds of inspiration, hope, courage, aroha [love] and unity“
About the Authors
Sue Grey is a self-employed lawyer who specialises in complex emerging issues. She is also co-leader of NZ Outdoors and Freedom Party and one of New Zealand’s freedom heroes. Sue has a double major in Biochemistry and Microbiology and RSHDipPHI. Her first career was as a Health Protection Officer where she worked for central government included investigating infectious diseases and contact tracing – perfect training for her to spot the many red flags with the unorthodox Covid response
.
Alan Simmons lives in Turangi, NZ, and for the last 50 years worked as a full time fishing and hunting guide. The Covid response put an end to international travel and clients and in 2022 he was forced to retire by police thuggery when his hip was fractured in a police action while he was standing on a street corner filming.
Sue suggests you and others request your local library to have their it on their shelves. Or one can donate to their library. Also mention it to your local bookseller.
Here’s what filmmaker & journalist Alistair Harding (We Came Here for Freedom) has to say about the book: “Sue and Alan have created a book that will be worthy of the very Kiwi descriptor: ‘Taonga’, for our nation’s history. This book is a treasure because it is a first-hand account in the absence of any true journalism of the time. And so one day this story will be the source material that historians will turn to. Where they will find a vast difference between the voices of the people who were there and the narrative spun by a news media that mostly appeared incapable of any empathy for their fellow New Zealanders who had had their lives destroyed by the vaccine mandates.“
Our favorite* New Zealand radio station is off-air. It’s time we consider what it will look like without RCR in our daily lives. I know I’ve taken the online streaming station a bit for granted financially. I’m still working on plans to have a micro FM transmitter broadcasting from here at Mountain Spirit, so we can’t them be off the air.
I’ve pulled a quote from friend Roy Champtaloup who makes the plea better than I: “RCR is an absolute treasure trove of important, fascinating facts via the free speech of its excellent guests. It is not mainstream lies that hoodwinks & scares our beautiful trusting population into submission and compliance. Please donate & support this outstanding vital media organisation today. I respectfully recommend committing to a monthly amount. Do you agree access to all these amazing real ‘experts’ and their truthful facts is worth at least $1/day ($30/month)? .. maybe $2/day ($60/month) maybe not even the cost of a coffee a day $5 … ie $150/month) ? or even more? Please contribute whatever you can …. starting now. We need to keep free speech alive. Our grandchildren are depending on us. We can’t let them down.“

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 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?“
By Randall Richards If you’re still trying to figure out whether you’ve been fooled by the powers that be, or, you don’t want to know, then you owe it to yourself to watch this interview. Put aside your preconceptions of Tucker Carlson, and Russell Brand. Step outside your normal narrative, your normal media box, and consider what these two sharp minds are discussing. You just may come away with a broader perspective, an awakened world view. I’m sorry to say, you’ve been fooled, and lied to. As hard as it is to believe, I ask that you consider the possibility that the government does not have your best interest in mind.
Recently I’ve encountered a few people in my day that have been know-it-alls. They simply can’t understand how anyone could think reality is other than the way they perceive it. In short, anyone who thinks Trump did anything good, is a nut job. While I wouldn’t want to spend a weekend with him, and frankly will be voting for RFK Jr, not Trump, Orange Man is not bad. He’s strange, but it’s almost beside the point what my view of Trump is. I’m probably ideologically a liberal at heart, but that train left the station a long time ago. The left is unrecognizable now to what it once was. RFJ Jr will tell you that. So I ask again, take off the blinders. I’d rather wear a tinfoil hat, (metaphor) than blinders. Good luck with your journey, and if you have questions, I’ll be here for you.
This amazing film tells the real story of what really happened during New Zealand’s convoy to Wellington New Zealand’s parliament grounds, and the ensuing protest against mandating those who chose body autonomy. Good work crew! You’ve taken New Zealand by storm. In a recent poll, it was discovered that 30% of the New Zealander’s polled were in favor of the spontaneous convoy of which my family were a part. It was a great homeschooling opportunity. My son got a good education on democracy in action and how the legacy media omits and obfuscates the truth. You can see the film online here. Special thanks to Meagan (yellow dress) and Director, Gaylene Barnes, (pictured in center) members of our New Zealand Media Collective, for all the work you did getting this film out into theatres and online. Thanks also to the others pictured above.
While I’m not one for big “fear headlines” Ed Griffin is has good credibility so I recommend seeing this. The Greatest Financial Loss in World History, Millions Will Be Devastated: G. Edward Griffin. Author of ‘The Creature From Jekyll Island’ G. Edward Griffin warns that rapidly expanding government debt and the coming collapse of the financial system will lead to unimaginable losses that threaten to wipe out millions, if the people don’t stand up and do something about it.
By Guy Hatchard, PhD: From: The Daily Telegraph “What the Whistleblower Data Tells us About the NZ Ministry of Health“ This week an interview with a Ministry of Health employee under the pseudonym Winston Smith, who leaked data to former journalist and recent political candidate Liz Gunn, caused an international sensation. A data set of four million vaccination records was briefly available for download and scrutiny from vaccine critic Steve Kirsch’s site. Many of you have no doubt watched the hour long interview by Liz Gunn by now. Kirsch independently promised his readers that international statistics experts would be publishing analysis of the data shortly.
The Wasabi site hosting the data for download acted rapidly to cancel Steve Kirsch’s account and YouTube took down the video within minutes (it is still up on… Read the rest of this story:

Screenshot of the recently released dataset showing up to 21% mortality rate in some who received Pfizer injection in New Zealand as sorted by vaccine batches/sites.
And From Steve Kirsch’s Twitter “If the data shows the COVID vaccine is so safe, why are they trying so hard to hide it? They are hiding the fact that the vaccine killed thousands of New Zealanders. If they were honest, they would publish the FULL dataset. But they are corrupt.”
From The Pack of Cornered Animals: (1NewsNZ) “A health worker has been arrested and charged after allegedly misusing and disclosing vaccination data, while spreading misinformation about Covid-19, police told 1News this evening. The 56-year-old man will appear in the Wellington District Court tomorrow charged with accessing a computer system for dishonest purposes, police said. It comes after health officials today laid a police complaint against a staff member”. Read the rest if this “story” here:
Lastly, Celia Farber has provided some useful links, posed questions and insight about what’s going on tonight here in New Zealand. I include this post only to give some insight on how independent news media is doing its best to get the truth out. It’s not a cookie cutter operation, as is state-controlled media, so things don’t always go according to plan. Welcome to life. But as Mark Twain said, “A lie gets half way around the world before truth gets a chance to put its pants on.” The truth will come out, one way or the other. Here’s her piece, on her Substack: New Sh*tshow: NZ Whistleblower Raided and Arrested, Liz Gunn In Flight For Her Safety, NZ Grassroots Group VFF Say This Whistleblower Came To Them Two Years Ago, They Tried To Work With Him.. Read her story here:
Editor’s Note: I’m one of the co-founding members of a group called NZ Rising, which serves as a communication network for groups concerned about government overreach here in New Zealand. We’ve taken our lead largely from Canada’s successful Freedom Rising. We recently talked about how important it is to stay in our hearts as the old narrative crumbles completely. It is happening now in case you haven’t noticed. It’s not going to be pretty, but by staying united in love and common purpose, we’ll expose the truth. I stand in support the whistleblower/s’ effort for speaking the truth about the excess deaths occurring in New Zealand. There is indeed “something to see here”, and I suggest the reader not just believe me, but do his/her own research and, as in Wizard of Oz, “Look at that man behind the curtain.” Randall Richards
