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].

Monica Smit of Australia: Another win for someone on the right side of history

13/09/2024

By Randall Richards
Monica Smit, founder of Reignite Freedom and a leader in spreading the truth about mandates, lockdowns and the safety of injections, can sleep a bit better tonight. She has had a legal win in her home country of Australia, where the judge found she was unlawfully arrested during a 2020 anti lockdown protest.

Monica Smit outside the Australian courthouse, after the positive decision ruling in her favour.

She was found not guilty of three of the four charges against her. Moreover Smit has been awarded $4000 in damages due to the unlawful arrest. Smit made “two posts” about a protest and was consequently sent to prison.

Monica finally gets to tell her side of the story. Another win for someone on the right side of history.


In her ruling the judge wrote: “I have found that Smit was falsely imprisoned on two of the three occasions that she was arrested,” County Court Judge My Anh Tran said in her published decision, which noted there was “special and enduring protection afforded by the common law to the human right to liberty”.

“By definition, human rights are available to every member of our society, including people whose views may be seen as unreasonable by the majority of community members. Indeed, the protection of minorities from the tyranny of the majority is one of the tenets of human rights law.” She’s the author of the book Cell 22 on the on the debacle of justice finally gone right.

You can read an excellent full article on the ruling and her arrests and imprisonment here.

New Book about Wellington Protest Tells What Really Happened on Parliament Grounds

14/05/2024

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.

You can purchase the book here.

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.“

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.

and his Farcebook page

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?
