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.“
I saw this sticker in a Melbourne bathroom yesterday, and felt oblidged to enlighten people who might be standing at the urinal sending them to Jim Breuer’s “Somebody Had to Say it“. He covers social distancing quite well in his standup.
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.“
Author’s Note: * Yeah, I know. I have to use it once in a while. “Favourite” is still cool, but I am a Yankee too.
I thought I’d take the opportunity to share the feedback form I just completed for the Aspiring Conversation’s “Truth and Lies” event last 6th of April here in Wanaka, NZ. The only thing I screwed up, that I can see, is I failed to capture the screenshot of questions 9 and 10 on this feedback form. So I recreated the that screen shot the best I could, otherwise it’s all from their SurveyMonkey form.
The Truth and Lies event held recently in Wanaka, NZ, was a part of the Aspiring Conversation series, under of the greater Festival of Colour event. A number of my free-thinking friends and I attended, and although recording and filming the event was not approved, a good audio copy was captured, and we’ll let you decide for yourself how on-target the speakers were on major issues facing us such as freedom of speech, the internet – platforms such as Telegram, and… Fear. Yes you read that correctly: Fear was a dominent theme we picked up in both presenters and the audience. Barry Young once mentioned that he’d love to be inside their (the panelist’s) head to see what makes them say and think what they do.
Alistair Harding eloguently stated this morning when he was interviewing Roy Chantaloup and me, that the panelests are making a last gasp effort of stating their revelence when it’s clear the OFM, Old Fashioned Media, and the lies it pumps out, are fading into oblivion. It’s not happening fast enough, but it is happening.
Anyway, here’s the audio of that “dialogue” where no Q&A were allowed, nor opposing views.
Another conclusion Alistair, Roy and I came to, was when the day comes that our community hosts a Truth event here in Wanaka, we will certainly invite Kate Hannah, Souixsie Wiles, Kathy Ferguson and Bryon C. Clarke to to have a civil discussion. We are not racists, nor “alt-right” nor conspiracy theororists. We are humans, as they are, seeking a dialogue. We will seek to fulfull the vision statement of which the Festival of Colour, and Aspiring Conversations attempt woefully fell short. This event was a lost opportunity, but there will be more ahead here in Wanaka. Our community will see to it. Please attend when you see the announcement.
Author’s Note: There will be a transcript of this audio track published here soon. Stay tuned.
By Randall Richards Below is an audio interview done with Paul Brennan of Reality Check Radio here in New Zealand on the shenanigans going on with an event from the Aspiring Conversations part of Festival of Colour. The event was called “Truth and Lies”, a provocative title. My open-minded friends and I are thinking of creating another festival called Festival or Truth, or something like that, to “take a jab” at the organisers.
It seems we could improve on implementing their vision statement which in part, states: to engage our community and captivate individuals from all walks of life. We’ll do the whole thing, stage, lights, couches, moderator, glasses of water, but we’ll take questions from the audience (no need to email in ahead of time), cameras and recorders will be allowed, and no bag or phones required to checked in at the gate. No barf bags required for this event. Stay tuned.
One thing I didn’t mention is my previous article, which I thought I’d add here, is the need to compassionately, but firmly, hold people responsible for their actions with consequences, legal, social etc.
Barry Young, our wonderful whistleblower on the data of excess deaths (related to the vaccine here in NZ), told me he’d love to “get into the head of these people and see what makes them tick. Why do they think the way they do?” Coincidently, our speaker at NZ Rising tonight was covering just that topic. David Charalambous, founder of Reaching People, He covered a lot of ground on cognitive dissonance, labels, and adaptive unconsciousness. But more on that in another piece.
Author’s Note: Reality Check Radio is currently off-air. They need more of us to donate to keep operations running. We’ll be posting a shortly on this, but for now, see RCR’s video on the situation.
The once small town of Wanaka, NZ has a new 5g tower today. Although it’s not been advertised, they rolled out 5G throughout the South Island a few years ago. Nevertheless it was a shock to see the new health-corroding tower being erected smack in front of a popular cafe, corner store, restaurant and pub complex
When I approached the workers asking them if it was indeed 5G technology, they confirmed it was. I then queried, “Do you guys know that these towers create health problems?” Their response was, “Hey mate, we’re just doing our job. It’s not our decision”. Does that sound familiar? What era comes to mind?
This tower is massive, with tons of technology aboard. There also happens to be additional technology installed just down the road, on street lights: real-time CCTV, and heat sensoring monitors in the name of safety (fire). It sure feels good to be safe, doesn’t it?
Hi Tech for your safety and convenience, but not your health.The nearby cafe will certainly have “roasted” coffee from now on.
This sort of construction, right in the midst of a highly populated and active area of town is completely diabolical. I’ll admit I’m not informed on the decision making process on how these things come to be, but it’s madness. There are crazies at the helm of a ship of fools. Just don’t eat the food at Albert Town anymore, it will be “over-cooked”.
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?“
This list, a result of of an OIA request, is a partial list of clinics, medical centres and pharmacies nationwide in New Zealand who were paid out for their services. Since I live in Otago on the New Zealand’s South Island, I’ve highlighted some, but not all of the more prominent centres, and their payouts for administering the injection. It looks like it paid very well.
Tucker Carlson believes in free speech. He also believes that most Americans have been lied to by its government and the mainstream media, mostly by omission. He took a chance, probably one of the biggest in his life, to do what he felt was right: Travel to Russia and interview its president. Globalist and American powers-that-be, are having a conniption over this interview because it steps outside their controlled narrative. The American people owe it to themselves to at least watch the interview and make up their own minds. After all, they’re adults. They also owe it fellow citizens as well. Our future may depend upon it.
Opinion: Having seen the interview, I ran it past Dr. Peter Canaday, who speaks fluent Russian and whose wife is Ukrainian, and prior to the war, had been going to the Ukraine on a yearly basis. So they know the situation. He says Putin’s version of history is conveniently tilted to the Russian perspective, and is not accurate to what the Ukrainian people as a whole see things. More on this later, as I’ll reach out to Peter to see if we can get an interview with wife and him on this subject.
Further, in honour of being cautious, here’s a good post from the Guardian explaining what Whitney Webb warns us about: Watch what they do, not what they say. Although Tucker is convincing, especially in his live speeches.
