➳ Introduction: Christchurch Earthquake, 22 February 2011 — Death Toll: 185

The Christchurch Earthquake of 22 February 2011 is widely believed to be a natural disaster. The 6.3M aftershock, which was part of the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence that commenced on September 4 2010, is most remembered for being a devastating jolting quake that killed approximately 180; some trapped in rubble perished slowly.

One of the enduring mysteries of the Christchurch Earthquake was what possessed a transnational oil drilling company, Anadarko, to gain approval from New Zealand’s Economic Development Ministry (MED) to conduct seismic testing for oil and gas in the Canterbury Basin within four hours of the earthquake striking Christchurch.

How uncanny that the quake, which killed 185, just happened to occur on the same day, when the Kapanui Well in Taranaki first produced gas and liquid hydrocarbons in February 22 in 1962. This correspondence appears meaningless. Except, since New Zealand’s Economic Development Ministry approved of Anadarko’s seismic testing for oil and gas in the Canterbury Basin, later the same afternoon as the quake, the expected earthquake belies the tell-tale sign of a drilling-themed staged disaster.

Former Māori Television news and current affairs editor, Steve Snoopman, explores the circumstantial evidence that the Canterbrury Earthquake Sequence — which was reported to have clocked up 13,000 aftershocks — had geophysical warfare hallmarks.

This catalytic event was fixed to be a diabolical ‘worst of type disaster’, and joins up with the Snoopman’s Darkest Days by Dates Down Under series, starting with the Mount Erebus Disaster in 1979 and ending with the Manawanui Grounding in 2024.

And with his Staged Disasters Down Under series: the Ballantynes’ Fire, 18 November 1947; Tangiwhai Disaster, 24 December 1953; Brynderwyn Bus Tragedy, 7 February 1963; Kaimai DC-3 Disaster, July 3 1963; and the Wahine Disaster, 10 April 1968.

However, the quake failed to surpass the 1931 Napier Earthquake’s death toll of 256,
and so February 22 2011 didn’t rank as New Zealand’s number one “darkest day”. That ‘gong’ remains with the planners behind the Erebus Disaster of November 28 1979.

The withdrawal of building codes oversight, lax earthquake risk management and sabotage of the rescue operations were strategically designed to maximize the casuality toll, when the big quake hit Christchurch “on cue” in February 2011.

This cruel callousness is borne out by the gleefully thematic historical date riffs.

Brazenly, ‘the news’ is weaponized as a vector conveying codified signals that the ‘incidents’ were staged. Date riffs are a key detectable sign communicating threats, cooperation, authorship, and to telegraph covert objectives, scapegoats and rewards.

This historical riffing pattern reveals a ‘matrix code’ used by transnational deep state networks to signal their chess-moves to one another as a looming season of hostilities approaches, and into the aftermath to control the damage as allegiances are jolted.

As a modus operandi, such historical riffing signals authorship, cooperation, caution and to telegraph objectives. The signals indicate players are communicating their cooperation to take a plot ‘live’, convey hidden objectives, and to broadcast psychotic humour, thereby posting themselves like hostages — as applied game theory predicts.

Citing scientists who found earthquake precursor anomalies prior to the Darfield and the Christchurch earthquakes in Canterbury New Zealand, as well as the M9 Tōhoku Earthquake in Japan on March 11 2011, Snoopman traces the trail of these geophysical precursor anomalies. In the subsection, “TheEMF Connection in an Electro-Magnetic Cosmos”, he cites studies showing the total electron content of the ionosphere increased dramatically over the epicentre, before the quakes struck.

Moreover in September 2016, a Japanese earthquake study found the solar and lunar motions cause changes in the tidal stress state, which may trigger earthquakes. Thus harnessing data about tidal stress state in seismic regions can improve probabilistic earthquake forecasting, especially for extremely large earthquakes, the scientists said.

Their work indirectly corroborated a New Zealand amateur forecaster, Ken Ring, who had forewarned of an earthquake for Christchurch eight days prior, citing lunar activity. Ring was scapegoated as a pariah in the media, while newsrooms missed the point that earthquake forecasting, though rudimentary, was possible.

To this end, Snoopman sketches the possible technologies, mechanisms and institutions that may have been harnessed for ‘seismic unrest’ with horrific impact.

Intriguingly, the Canterbury (Christchurch) Earthquake sequence, as well as the Kaikōura Earthquake sequence coincided with the presence of American ‘deep state’ actors in New Zealand, and when the country was hosting multi-national military contingents, and also when there was (were) a seismic survey ship(s), in the quake zones. The apparent hidden objectives are explored in these uncanny ‘coincidences’.

In week prior to the Christchurch Earthquake, the Air Force No 40. Squadron had conducted a combat and disaster relief exercise over the Canterbury Plains. And from February 21 to March 10, New Zealand’s Defence Force was to host a biannual multi-national exercise, Southern Katipo 2011, at Timaru and Omaru. But, it was cancelled.

The ‘coincidence’ of drills, exercises and war-games occurring simultaneously to a shooting, bombing or a hijacking, or other crisis provides the cover for deep state actors to take the training scenarios live, by leveraging a national security state’s compartmentalized operation classifications. Transnational cyptocratic dark states can exploit the confusion about whether the phenomena is an exercise or a real world situation, while maintaining plausible deniability about the ‘coincidences’.

The earthquakes may have been engineered and inflicted as aggressive events to re-integrate New Zealand into the Anglo-American Empire after three decades of cooled relations over the ANZUS military alliance rift, and the Rainbow Warrior Bombing.

The signing of a US-NZ political-military-economic agreement called the ‘Wellington Declaration’ in the capital city on November 4 2010 by Hillary Clinton all but ended the rift. The subsequent visit to New Zealand by John Kerry on November 13 2016 just hours before the Kaikōura Earthquake, also coincided with the first visit of a US Navy ship to New Zealand waters in 33 years — and seemed to signal a price was paid.

Snoopman presents the supposition that New Zealand is a closet pivot state; meaning key insiders of the national security state periodically inflict engineered ‘deep events’ — in collaboration with their Western counterparts — to pivot the Western aligned countries deeper into the Empire’s orbit. The events deserve a second look.

Ergo, there lurks another layer to New Zealand’s recent past and the trail of meta-data reveals encrypted ‘glyphs’ or ‘runes’ of a network who ‘hex’ targets in terrible tricks.

Snoopman’s time travelling tale traces an epitome of evil most of his fellow monkeys might thunk could only happen in horror novels, epic noir flicks or grim stage plays.

As such, this heretical dispatch teaches snoop-readers how to apply Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie logic to Nancy Drew or Scooby Doo enduring mysteries, current crimes and unfolding news events in order to spot-light the spooky darkness.

Key Findings: The re-integration of New Zealand into the Anglo-American Empire was, in effect, ‘book-ended’ by the two earthquake sequences, Canterbury and Kaikōura. The precision timing of the Christchurch Earthquake struck a drilling-themed historical riff to signal a significant milestone in this re-integration theater.

This re-integration theater featured political, commercial and martial aspects. Chess moves were made in plain sight either on the news, or in government and corporate reports, as players posted themselves as ‘hostages’ in accordance with game theory.

Such ‘hostage exchanges’ are calculated to stabilize relations as power structures undergo transformations. The cryptic symbol sorcery that is codified into the metaphor-laden events belie a transnational network that Snoopman calls the cryptocratic dark state. By inflicting Trojan horse catalytic crises, this cryptocracy seeks to transform New Zealand into a technofeudalist digital dystopia without the public quite realizing how they are being played. The crises traumatise families, divide communities and entrain the population to accept the creepy ‘desired solutions’.

➳ One of New Zealand’s Darkest Days: A Case of Militarized Disaster-Terrorism?

Snapshot: At 12:51pm on Tuesday February 22 2011, a 6.3M aftershock struck Christchurch, jolting the city with destructive force, killing 185. The quake riffed off the historical date, February 22 1962, when the Kapanui Well in Taranaki first produced gas and liquid hydrocarbons. About four hours after the earthquake, the American oil drilling company, Anadarko, gained approval from New Zealand’s Economic Development Ministry (MED) to conduct seismic testing for oil and gas in the Canterbury Basin. Ergo, an oil-exploration-themed metaphor was laden into the engineered earthquake to signal a coup d’état was inflicted to advance economic integration, as well as to deepen the military re-integration of New Zealand back into the Western Alliance.

The 6.3 magnitude Christchurch Earthquake — which struct at lunchtime, 12.51pm, on 22 February 2011 —was devastating. The death toll was 185 people, including 115 in the Canterbury TV building, 18 in the Pyne Gould building, and 8 on Red Bus #702, while approximately 5,800 were injured and over 100,000 homes damaged.

The Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, which included the 6.3M Christchurch Earthquake of 22 February 2011, was reported to have clocked up 13,000 aftershocks.

The quake finished the job off following the 7.1M Darfield quake of September 4 2010.

Potently, this 7.1M Darfield quake, which kicked off the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, struck with codified themes of banking, cathedral fund-raising and even telegraphing the next disaster. Given the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, commenced with the Darfield Earthquake of September 4th 2010, and would lead to a costly rebuild after the enormous damage that occurred during the Christchurch Earthquake, what are the odds, that on September 4th 1840, the New Zealand Banking Company opened its head office on Turner’s Terrace, Kororareka (now Russell)?

And how uncanny that on September 4 1842, New Zealand’s first Anglican Bishop, George Augustus Selwyn, preached in Nelson to raise funds for the construction of a cathedral? After all, numerous churches were predictably damaged on September 4 2010. And, on February 22 2011, the damages to the Anglican and Catholic cathedrals were catastrophic. Yet, the 7.1M Darfield quake also telegraphed the direction the cryptocratic dark state was headed with their next staged ‘disaster’. What are the odds that on September 4 1868, the Westport to Hokitika telegraph started operation?

Uncanny, because it was gold and coal mining that fuelled a boom on the West Coast in the 1860s. Spookily, the Pike River Coal Mine would explode on November 19 2010, precisely 42 years after the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, the USS America sailed into Wellington Harbour. Given that the day November 19, leaves 42 days left in the year, it is worth observing that at the time of the Pike River Disaster, Bank of America was among three Wall Street banks with shares in a Perth-based coal-mining company, Bathurst Resources, which later became New Zealand’s largest coal-mining company.

Naturally, earnest efforts to shutdown, or red sticker, seriously at-risk buildings after the 7.1M jolt, were stymied in order to ensure the February 22 2011 would be a contender as a ‘worst of type disaster’. To qualify, it would need to kill more than 256 humans, and thereby surpass the Napier Earthquake of 1931 in which 256 perished.

The quake, which was hoped to be ‘a worst of type disaster’, coincided with the presence of American ‘deep state’ actors in N.Z., and when the country was hosting multi-national military contingents, and also when there was (were) a seismic survey ship(s), in the quake zone, while HMNZS Canterbury was docked at Lyttleton Port.

The epicenter of the M6.3 aftershock on February 22 2011 was 5 kms below Heathcote Valley in the Port Hills, right on a sub-surface fault structure. The Cracroft Caverns Laboratory in Cashmere were but a ‘stone’s throw’ distance from this Port Hills fault.

The 5-second rupture started from a small fault about 8 to 10 kilometers long located under the Port Hills, near the city. The quake started in hard volcanic rock in short energetic waves and moved to soft sediment rock that reverberated under the city, which increased the amplitude in longer and slower waves to become violent jolts.

The date meta-data is the dead giveaway an American-themed engineered earthquake.

It would appear that the transnational oil drilling company, Anadarko, got the jump when it gained approval from the Economic Development Ministry (MED) to conduct seismic testing for oil and gas in the Canterbury Basin, just over four hours after the 6.3M Christchurch Earthquake on February 22 2011. Canterbury Basin extends from south of Christchurch to south of Dunedin. In 2010, Anadarko Petroleum Corp gained approval to operate a frontier exploratory well with Origin Energy Resources NZ Ltd in an area 40 miles east of Dunedin in the southern part of the basin. The February 22 2011 quake, which killed 185, just happened to occur on the historical date, Feb. 22 1962, when the Kapanui Well in Taranaki first produced gas and liquid hydrocarbons.

And so, the Ministery of Economic Development’s Crown Minerals reassured Anadarko that the Chrsistchurch Earthquake wouldn’t hinder their seismic tests.

At 5.28pm, Feb. 22, Crown Minerals geologist David Witkowski sent an email to Bruce Morris, of BDM Consulting, and British-based Simon Robinson, Anadarko’s seismic acquisition specialist, saying Anadarko’s application to begin seismic data acquisition in the “afternoon or evening of February 23” should not be hindered by the quake.

The US-based Anadarko and and the Australian-based Origin Energy announced on February 25 2010, they had signed a deal in which Anadarko bought a 50 per cent interest in Origin’s offshore exploration permit, PEP 38262, in the Canterbury Basin.

Origin said it had commenced evaluation studies in the area in 2005, the year after the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004 sought to over-ride the 2003 decision of the New Zealand Court of Appeal regarding customary rights to the foreshore and seabed. Delivered on June 19 2003, in Attorney-General v Ngāti Apa [2003] 3 NZLR 643, this landmark ruling over-turned decades of precedent and held that the Māori Land Court had jurisdiction to determine whether areas of the foreshore and seabed had the status of Māori customary land. Consequently, no petroleum block permits were granted in 2004, according to the Goverment’s Petroleum and Minerals agency.

The date June 19 2003, was potent because it was on June 19 1861 that the New Zealand Bank Bill was introduced into the House of Representatives. This Bank Bill would establish the Bank of New Zealand, which would become the conduit for financing the escalation of the New Zealand Masonic Revolutionary War of 1860-72.

This Masonic Revolutionary War, which is commonly referred to as the New Zealand Land Wars, was the consolidation stage to fulfil the Conquest Element of the ‘Doctrine of Discovery’, which the European Cannon Powers exercised by stealth. The Doctrine of Discovery, which was a legal code that the European cannon powers applied to territories of the ‘New World’ to claim as colonial possessions, justified on the basis that peoples who lacked Christianity automatically had less political rights.

New Zealand Anadarko spokesman Alan Seay said seismic acquisition of data took place “more or less continuously 24 hours a day” between February 23 and March 28.

Economic Development Ministry spokeswoman Tracy Dillimore confirmed the application for seismic line tails should have been approved on February 22, but was not officially signed off until February 28. What are the odds that this approval to conduct seismic testing for oil and gas in the Canterbury Basin was formally granted on February 28 2011, given that on the same day February 28 in 1853, the boundaries for the province of Canterbury as well as Wellington, Nelson, Otago and New Plymouth (subsquently changed to Taranaki in 1858), were defined by proclamation under the Constitution Act 1852, by Freemason Governor Bro. George Grey?

In 2011, no new permits to prospect, explore, or mine for petroleum were issued. The Key Government repealed the governance over the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004, which was designed to circumvent Māori customary title claims to include customary rights. The Key led-Government’s Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 was passed by Parliament 30 days after the Christchurch quake, on March 24 2011.

Given the electromagetic technology used to prospect offshore for oil, what are the odds that on March 24 1902, the Pacific Cable landed at Doubtless Bay, North Island.

Indeed, in the two years before the Christchurch Earthquake there were only two oil and gas prospecting permits granted, while the Key Government went through the process of negotiating the repeal to governance over the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004, to include customary rights with Māori. Given this exploration-themed earthquake disaster, it is intriguing to observe that the MV Rena ran aground on Astrolabe Reef on October 5 2011. The Rena broke apart on the reef, and the ensuing oil spill was described at the time as New Zealand’s worst environmental disaster.

The reef was named by Jules Dumont d’Urville after his ship Astrolabe, when it nearly ran aground there on 16 February 1827. The name Astrolabe derives from an early navigational instrument, the astrolabe, a precursor to the sextant — used by Cook.

In turn, the Rena ran aground on the same day that a historical secret meeting of the New Zealand Company held in London, October 5 1840, to negotiate with Lord John Russell for official recognition. The settlement company’s meeting with the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies occurred at a pivotal time. Three days prior, Queen Victoria approved Governor William Hobson’s proclamation of sovereignty over the whole of New Zealand on October 2nd 1840, via the London Gazette. As Snoopman had compellingly argued in his dispatch, “Deep History of Waitangi: The Queen Victoria Connection”, the mission to treat with the aboriginal and indigenous tribes of New Zealand was theater, and paper sovereignty was gained by other pieces of paper. Indeed, six days after the nine Waitangi Treaty parchments arrived in London on November 10 1840, the Queen’s Royal Seal would be used to erect a colony with a Royal Charter. This chess move was about optics, since the ruse was to construe that ‘the natives’ willingly signed away, or ceded, sovereignty — with the English version.

The British Masonic takeover of New Zealand couldn’t be initiated through Parliament because such chess moves would alert agents of the rival cannon powers. And so, the route was commenced through Buckingham Palace, first with a boundary extension by Letters Patent to expand the jurisdiction of New South Wales around NZ.

As a thematic riffing motif codified into the Rena Grounding, this correspondence functioned as signals intelligence that this ‘disaster’ was a staged event. The in-built threat communicated that the cryptocracy possesses the spectacular power to make themed disasters occur at a time, place and of a type of their choosing, by magnitude. Indeed, the cryptocracy was demanding official recognition, or the disasters could be more horrific, more frequent or more targetted, to overwhelm the state’s resources.

New Zealand’s cryptocratic dark state had telegraphed a threat about ‘recognition’.

Given the codified petroleum exploration-thematic metaphor laden into the timing of the Christchurch Earthquake and the disaster precursor-and-aftermath signalling, what are the odds that Christchurch would have the ‘good fortune’ to qualify in the first muster of the Rockefeller Brother’s 33 ‘resilient cities’ in 2016.

On September 13^th 2016, the Christchurch City Council signed the ‘Resilience Pledge’ and earmarked 10 percent of the city’s 2017/2018 expenditure to build the city’s ‘resilience’. Four weeks before her re-election, Mayor Lianne Dalziel signed the pledge, which was an endorsement of the central government’s ‘100 Days’ blueprint that had over-rode the City Council’s redevelopment plan based on the peoples’ ideas.

Mayor Dalziel had campaigned on a platform that the City Council would drive the redevelopment rather than central government. In 2013, Mayor Bob Parker, withdrew from the electoral race after he clashed with the ministers of the Key Government over their control of the rebuild. The 100 Resilient Cities initiative supposedly sought to address chronic stresses like unemployment and inefficient or overtaxed public transport, and acute shocks like earthquakes, floods and terrorist attacks.

Given the dissatisfaction of Cantabarians with the insurance and construction cartel, what are the odds that Resilence Pledge signing on September 13 2016, riffed off the historical date of September 13 1840, when dissatisfied New Zealand Company colonists from Wellington arrived at Auckland aboard the barque Platina? Especially, since Cantabarians sought employment in Auckland and Wellington after the quake.

With this dissatisfaction metaphor-laden event, Cantabarians were being mocked.

This ostensibly wholesome Rockefeller Foundation initiative is ironic given that when the super-rich David Rockefeller was chairman of the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations (1970-1985), this global policy-shaping think-tank spear-headed the stealthy ‘1980s Project’. This was a blueprint for the North Atlantic capitalist class to re-assert their dominance over the world through the Shock Doctrine economic warfare framework. The Rockefeller’s fortune was made by forging the Standard Oil cartel. ExxonMobil merged the New Jersey and New York Standard Oil properties.

Prior to the Christchurch Earthquake, the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke in Christchurch during her visit to sign the ‘Wellington Declaration’.

The question arises: did Hillary Clinton and her inner circle of State Department officials expect the earthquake to strike on the day it happened — during lunchtime?

Strangely, when an emil subject-lined “6.3 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand” was circulated to “OpsAlert” recipients of the U.S. State Department, one State Department Official, Jacob Sullivan, wrote in reaction, “And on cue”.

Mr Sullivan was the State Department’s closest international travelling aide to Hillary Clinton, who at the time was U.S. Secretary of the State in the American Empire’s Obama Regime, which marketed ‘hope and change’, but sold hopium instead.

The email became public in March 2016, and was among the WikiLeaks’ release of the “Hillary Clinton Email Archive” of emails, media files and other document caches retrieved from the private server owned by Hillary Clinton, of the Clinton Crime Syndicate. This email creates the suspicion that Sullivan and a close circle of recipients, including Hillary Clinton, expected the earthquake to strike on 22.02.2011.

And, as if by some portentous Shakespearean omen, just 10 days prior to the Christchurch Earthquake, the New Zealand Herald reported that the HMNZS Canterbury would be the Australiasian crisis response ship for relief in natural and man-made disasters. The Pacific Partnership is a US-led multi-national ‘Indo-Pacific’ humanitarian and civic assistance project that followed the disaster relief of the horrific December 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami, as Steven Paget noted in his paper, “COMING FULL CIRCLE: The Renaissance of Anzac Amphibiosity”, published in the Spring 2017 edition of Naval War College Review. Paget’s paper traced the incremental re-binding of military ties with the United States following an accommodation period in the aftermath of the ANZUS rift over the NZ Labour Party’s nuclear free zone policy; a rift that widened into a chasm after the Rainbow Warrior Bombing. A planning meeting for the 2011 Pacific Partnership occurred in San Diego on February 16 and 17, at the US Navy’s Third Fleet’s headquarter’s compound.

Commodore Jim Gilmour was on the bridge at the time the earthquake struck.

Previously, Gilmour was the Commanding Officer HMNZS Canterbury when it took part in the NZDF’s humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations following the September 2009 Samoa earthquake and tsunami. Later, he was made Rear Admiral and took over as New Zealand’s Commander of the Joint Forces on Halloween in 2018.

The HMNZS Resolution, a hydrographic survey ship equipped with sonar devices, was tasked with mapping Lyttleton Harbour to gauge any changes to the sea-floor profile.

Two days after the NZ Navy’s HMNZS Canterbury was reported on February 12 2011, to be the new headquarters for Pacific disaster relief, the RNZAF announced on February 14 2011, it was conducting a combat and disaster relief exercise. How uncanny that New Zealand’s Navy multipurpose ship bearing the name Canterbury would be named as the new headquarters for Pacific disaster relief on February 12 2011, given that it was on February 12 1841 that the New Zealand Company received its charter of incorporation. And what are the odds that oin February 14 2011 the Royal New Zealand Air Force would announce a combat and disaster relief exercise?

After all, it was on February 14 in 1872 that Te Kooti was engaged by Government forces for the last time. This combat theme was complimented with a disaster relief historical event, since it was on February 14 1915 that a 500-strong Māori contingent sailed from Wellington. The ‘ANZAC’s were drawn into a so-called ‘disaster’ at Gallipoli. In Prolonging the Agony, Doherty and Macgregor revealed how the British Secret Élite devised the Gallipoli Campaign in the Dardanelles to sacrifice Australian and New Zealand men, to keep the Russians in the war on the Eastern Front. Russian Tsar Nicholas II was promised the port city of Constantinople as a ruse to keep Russian Red Army fighting, amid heavy losses and staving off mutiny. Nicholas II fell for the plot because he failed to realize the point of World War I was to embroil Germany and Russia in an epic conflict that would wreck them, in order to control their development, so that they would smash each other again. And in the process, the British Secret Élite hoped to absorb America into a reforged British Empire.

And so, the combat and disaster relief theming of the February 14th date, worked like signals intelligence that the supplies, logistics and technical support were in place. How apt then that on February 14 1929, the electrification of the Lyttelton Railway Tunnel was completed? Especially, since the University of Canterbury built a new ring-laser gyroscope in the Cashmere Cavern with three quarters of a million dollars, awarded by the Marsden Fund in 2010. Particularly since caverns are in the Port Hills.

How uncanny that the Air Force exercises involved flights over mountainous terrain, air-drops and off-load procedures for combat, disaster relief, and evacuation.

On February 22 2011, the NZ Defence Forces’ inaugural multi-national Exercise Southern Katipo (February 21-March 10), turned into a live disaster relief, such as the Army’s Operation Christchurch Quake 2011. The fact of the Canterbury being berthed at Lyttleton Port was described as “a stroke of good fortune” in 2012 by Jane Parfitt Christchurch City Council’s Environment General Manager. But, that was not all.

The HMNZS Canterbury is joined by HMNZS Otago and HMNZS Pukaki, and the fleet become a “core asset” for disaster-relief operations transporting nearly 2000 tonnes of equipment, and 375 personnel in and out of Lyttelton.

New Zealand’s central government appeared to have heeded the cues featured in the Gibson Group’s 2008 movie, Aftershock, a dramatization of a Wellington earthquake. These cues included the ‘need’ to win the support of the media, control access to the CBD, and to have a swift state response for disaster relief to gain public acclaim.

The Army provided a significant visual presence around the central city Red-Zone with 77 Unimog’s transporting equipment and stores, and 47 Pinzgauer Light Operational Vehicles constantly on the move in the broken city. There were also 28 Light Armoured Vehicles working in the area. More than 300 service personnel staff formed a cordon around the worst affected area of Christchurch’s CBD, operating three eight-hour shifts per day. New Zealand’s Army patrolled the cordon using night vision goggles to prevent looting. There were also 129 Singaporean Armed Forces personnel, who are in N.Z. for Exercise Southern Katipo, to work with the N.Z. Army.

There were 1,768 New Zealand Defence Force personnel who were directly involved in the joint force response to the Christchurch Earthquake in 2011. This joint force was comprised of 239 Navy, 1,379 Army and 150 Air Force regular and reserve personnel.

Meanwhile, in Wellington, scientist Kelvin Berryman, just finished giving a talk to first responders at a Civil Defence Conference on how the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence was not over. Berryman, who worked at GNS Science — which studies earthquakes, among other things — said he and all the emergency responders were flown to Christchurch on an Air Force plane the same afternoon. Ergo, many of the nation’s key emergency response leaders were airlifted into the quake-shaking city straight after the Air Force had rehearsed disaster relief operations the previous week.

And meanwhile, New Zealand’s Central Urban Search and Rescue team were in the midst of a rescue training exercise in Palmerston North when they received a call from their Southern Team counterpart leader, Paul Burns, reporting the earthquake.

But, the Northern Team did not take off from Whenuapai Air Force Base until 8:30pm. The teams did not arrive in Christchurch until around midnight, the same time the New South Wales Urban Search and Rescue team arrived. The Civil Defence and Emergency Management Controller was in charge of activity until the state of emergency was declared on 23 February 2011. Control then formally passed to the Director of the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management. The Minister of Civil Defence, Gerry Brownlee, was also the Minister of Defence. In effect, Christchurch came under martial law amid critical failures in the emergency response.

The plan was to pick up the Central Team in Palmerston North, and head to Christchurch in a trip taking about 90 minutes. Meanwhile, Fire Service National Operations Manager, Jim Stuart-Black, decided to send the Central Team’s 16 tonnes of equipment from Palmerston North to Christchurch by road, ferry and road. This 12-hour journey meant the rescue gear did not arrive at the disaster zone until 6am February 23rd. The Southern Team’s HQ was a mess, and amid blocked roads and with only half the team of 60 able to deploy, they needed help, as Stuff reported in episode 2 of Collapse, a podcast about the rescue and tragedy at the CTV Building.

Yet, the Air Force had flown the emergency responders who were attending a Civil Defence Conference in Wellington to Christchurch the same afternoon. Ergo, many of the nation’s key emergency response leaders were airlifted into the quake-shaking city straight after the Air Force had rehearsed disaster relief operations the previous week.

What are the odds that the Royal New Zealand Airforce switched from a training exercise to a Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief (HADR) type scenario. The first flight was an airlift of the “foreign dignitaries: that had been at conference hosted by the United States-New Zealand Council, had a twin theme of plans to forge the Trans-Pacific Partnership economic bloc and Asia-Pacific security. One session was about disaster relief operations, and featured a talk by a retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, who recalled his experience of the BP-Anadarko oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Air Force’s No.40 Squadron was on the ground in Christchurch when the earthquake hit. They were conducting training and support flights for Exercise Southern Katipo 11. The RNZAF’s Boeing 757s, C-130 Hercules, Kingair and Iroquois helicopters, as well as the P-3K2 Orions moved huge consignments of equipment to the city during the relief effort, as well flying out almost 4300 passengers.

The coincidence of training exercises occurring at the time of a catalytic event, or in the very recent past, is a key sign of a potential looming black operation. Exercises can program monkeys with a scenario to accept a cover-story, once under-cover operatives take a false flag attack ‘live’ and signal a looming season of skullduggery.

Yet, N.Z.’s Urban Search and Rescue efforts were sabotaged. It turns out that Jim Stuart-Black, the Fire Service’s National Manager of Special Operations, based in Wellington, was in charge of the so-called rescue operation at Pike River Mine.

Stuart-Black applied a Co-ordinated Incident Management System (CIMS) structure. This chain of command disrupted the emergency response, as the Royal Commisssion hearings into the ‘Pike River Mine Disaster’ laid bare. Pike River was also staged.

The huge sums poured into the mining project were not to return a profit. But, to keep the black operation going, with a devastating explosion occurring on the 42nd anniversary of an aircraft carrier, USS America, arriving at Wellington Harbour on November 19 1968, with 42 days left in the year, during Lyndon Johnson’s presidency.

The Pike Mine’s sabotage signalled symbol sorcery. The USS America aircraft carrier was involved in an aborted bombing of Cairo, after the Israeli Defence Force screwed up their ‘false flag’ staged attack on the USS Liberty, which was supposed to be sunk.

This staged attack on the USS Liberty was the pretext to bring America into the Six Day War of 1967, and is the real reason why the war lasted only six days. But, the operation’s failure meant Israel had to play a long game to forge a Greater Israel.

In the days prior to and after the Pike River mine explosion of November 19th 2010, Bank of America bought stock in Bathurst Resources, an Australian-based mining firm that had plans to expand as an open-cast mining operator in New Zealand.

Subsequently, Bathurst Resources shifted its headquarters to New Zealand, acquired numerous coal-mining operations, including the defunct state-owned Solid Energy. How uncanny that Solid Energy had been the nation’s largest coal producer, while in the ownership of the State-Owned Enterprises Minister, Simon Powers, and the Finance Minister, Bill English, who were installed as the ministers on November 19 2008, precisely two years before the mine exploded. Particularly, since Solid Energy executived relocated into the Beehive at the beginning of the John Key Ministry. How uncanny given that the Key Government was aware of Solid Energy vulnerablities as a rsult in the world economic downturn and slump in coal prices following the Global Financial Crisis of 2007 to 2008, and yet it insisted on drawing large dividends from Solid Energy and encouraging it to take on debt to upgrade, hire and expand.

Especially, since Solid Energy had functioned as a holding company for Pike River Coal, once the receivers had gutted it like a fish, in the aftermath of the mine exploding. In early 2010, the Commerce Select Committee’s review of Solid Energy’s performance telegraphed the state-owned coal miner would be liquidated once Pike River Coal’s receivership ended. This eventuality was signalled by the Commerce Select Committee’s release on 26 March 2010, of Solid Energy’s performance for the financial year of 2008/2009. This March 26th date struck a mine disaster-themed historical riff, since the Brunner Mine exploded on March 26 1896.

What are the odds that 65 men were killed by a blast and gas in the Brunner Mine Disaster of March 26 1896? The Pike River Mine was cutting into the Brunner Coal Seam in the remote and difficult terrain of the Paparoa Ranges, in the South Island.

The Brunner Mine Disaster remains New Zealand’s deadliest industrial accident.

Ergo, a coal mine-disaster metaphor was embedded into the Commerce Select Committee’s release of the Solid Energy’s performance review for the 2008/2009 year, to telegraph New Zealand’s largest coal miner would be the vehicle to wind down the Pike River Coal Mine in the post-blast stage. Pike was inflicted to discredit under-ground mining, particularly coal, and to advance the re-interegation of New Zealand into the Western Alliance, and to deepen its economic integration into the American Empire. New Zealand was earmarked to become an open-cast mining facility.

Trace elements of a consolidation of this trans-corporate empire can be detected in precursor events to the ‘Pike River Coal Mine Disaster’. On September 24 2009, New Zealand’s Prime Minister John Key, and his nuclear-sized family, visited the New York Stock Exchange where they received a ‘royal tour’ with the CEO. Notably, Key also met a Bank of America stock trader. What are the odds that Key, who owned Bank of America shares, would performatively hold the gavel, on the same day, that eleven men died of asphyxiation in the Glen Afton Mine at Huntly on September 24 1939?

Thus, a mining tragedy-themed metaphor was codified into the ex-banker’s visit, the year before the ticking time bomb, Pike River Mine, exploded with uncanny timing.

An American-themed mine sabotage signified a brutal industrial relations reset.

This isn’t to say that Stuart-Black was a witting accomplice in these staged disasters.

Given the themed-historical date riffing fits with a broader pattern of staged disasters, and the possible technologies that might be used as mechanisms to inflict earthquakes — by leveraging the solar, lunar and tidal forces — it’s critical to note that the cryptocracy exploits individual, institutional and ideological inadequacies.

New Zealand’s Old Boys’ Network is a fertile recruiting ground for cryptocratic skullduggery. Since the cryptocratic dark state stages events with cryptic communications to signal their authorship, threats and to telegraph their objectives, the theming of a particular staged crisis can also be expected to feature a chosen number for collaborating players to signifiy their solidarity with the group game.

The earthquake rebuild data revealed the ‘hidden hand’ of an Old Boys’ Network. The Christchurch Construction Bonanza featured the prime number ‘13’ to codify cartel collusion. By encoding ‘Thirteen’ and its multiples and variants into the key figures of rebuild projects, associated dates and economic data, the Old Boys’ Network could locate one another across public and private sector institutions, communicate the advancement of ‘the game’, with promises, rewards and threats, as weird as it sounds.

As a recidivist character, ‘Thirteen’ also made an appearance at the Coroner’s Inquest, to signal vulnerabilities, caution, and scapegoats to de-escalate a snowballing crisis.

The inquest revealed there had been 13 of the Fire Service’s top brass senior managers in Christchurch late in the evening, and several talked to rescuers at the CTV site. But they left. The Coroner found a command post at the site may have saved some lives.

Since much of the Royal Commission’s focus into the Canterbury Earthquakes was on the structural failure of buildings in Christchurch — causing 175 of the 185 deaths, the pile-up of errors can be seen to have been beyond reasonable negligence.

The Canterbury Television (CTV) Building — a six-story structure, where 115 people perished — was not built to code. The Royal Commission pointed to serious errors by engineers, structural designers and the Christchurch City Council, stating the building design should never have been consented by the Christchurch City Council in 1986. Moreover, there were deficiencies in the buiding’s construction. The building was assessed following the September 4 Darfield Earthquake, and given a green pass finding no damage, but recommended an inspection by a structural engineer.

This inspection was subsequently done and yet the CTV Building remained occupied.

As a recidivist character, ‘Thirteen’ also made appearances in the work of the Royal Commission, to signal caution, vulnerabilities and scapegoats to manage the optics.

It is also noteworthy that a picture of a circular beam in the Canterbury Television Building. featured as “Figure 13” in Volume 6. The image appeared to codify caution to avoid criminal liability, but equally who to scape-goat if the scandal snowballed into a full blown crisis. After all, the CTV building was the site of 115 of the 185 deaths. The number of references for this section in Vol. 6, section 2, were thirteen.

The next most serious building failure was the Pyne Gould Building, which also collapsed in seconds. The Pyne Gould Building, built in 1963, was designed to better withstand a north-south shaking. The commissioners found “failure of the eastern wall initiated the collapse”. Inspections in 1997 by Holmes Consulting Group noted the “potential failure of the columns is a life-safety issue as it could result in the loss of support and consequential collapse of all or part of the building”. The perimeter columns were a structural weakness. When the shear wall failed in the quake, the columns on the east side bore the brunt of the pressure. These columns collapsed and the building crushed 18 workers. A map showing the Pyne Gould Building in relation to the seismic measuring stations in the Christchurch CBD on the day of the quake, was labelled ‘Figure 13’. The map showed the east-west shaking was considerable.

In its final volume, no. 7, the Royal Commission recommended that buildings joined together with un-reinforced masonry be re-evaluated as one building. As an example, the Royal Commission showed before and after photos of the Austral Buildings. The first floor facades collapsed, killing some occupants in Red Bus #702 and pedestrians.

By designating the photo of the horrific scene as ‘Figure 13’, the Royal Commission seemed to signal to go lite on scape-goating Councils, since previous warnings had been ignored. The Royal Commission appeared to codify caution to avoid criminal liability, as well as who to scape-goat to de-risk the scandal from snowballing.

Given that GNS would go on to announce there had been 13,000 aftershocks in the two year period following the 7.1 Mw Darfield Earthquake of September 4 2010, it is noteworthy that GNS’s seismic graphics were transmitted in a letter dated the 13^th of March 2012 to the Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission. Moreover, the GNS graphic showing the aftershocks following the Darfield Earthquake and up to the February 22^nd 2022 Christchurch Earthquake, was tabled as “Figure 13” in volume 1 of the Royal Commission’s June 2012 report. This placement appeared to codify that the Royal Commission had received the signal in the GNS’s letter dated March 13^th.

Apparently, there was no fault to be found in how the earthquakes occurred, since the seismic activities were ‘assumed’ to be natural. Ergo, caution about causality would be directed elsewhere, since hard science seemed to accept a sanitized political science.

The Royal Commission seemed to signal to scapegoat the engineering, standards and inspections regime, rather than also conduct a wider investigation. Forgone, was whether Christchurch had been targetted as a battleground in a geophysical war.

Ergo, the Royal Commission performed as a theater setting for a staged cover-up.

The quake finished the job off started by the 7.1M Darfield quake of September 4 2010.

Engineering firm Beca was contracted by the New Zealand Police to investigate any possible criminal liability following the Royal Commission of Inquiry into deaths due to building collapses. Beca stated that if the Canterbury Television (CTV) building been built to code — it would have been strong enough not to collapse like a pancake.

However, New Zealand’s Police backed away from prosecuting. The Solicitor General warned of high indemnity costs against the Police if they lost the case. Finding out who was culpable seemed secondary. This theater was like a rework of the machinations to protect ‘the Establishment’ over the Pike River Mine Disaster.

The Deputy Solicitor-General, Brendan Horsley advised Police that the Crown Law Office in Wellington, did not “consider the evidential test [was] satisfied” by Police.

Yet, no one asked if the Crown Law Office was conflicted in its interests, since in publicly claiming the evidential test was marginal, the Deputy Solicitor-General had inserted into the record a discoverable ‘weakness’ to weigh upon the Police. The defence could point out that the Christchurch City Council should never have approved the design, nor should it have approved the construction.

Thus, Detective Sup. Int. Peter Read and Canterbury District Commander Sup. Int. John Price were placed in a position to read between the lines: there was a price to pay for failure to build a criminal case to code. Horsley ‘rode’ his trusty steed like a white knight. He saved the City Council from courtroom scrutiny over who exactly was responsible for potential criminal culpability. And, yet another ‘disaster’ for the Old Boys’ Network was averted, and with no prosecutions, the Rebuild Bonanza continued.

This leads to a fair question: were the Police top brass merely entertaining the rank and file, who could be played while they diligently carried out a criminal investigation?

➳ A Gone By Lunchtime Reverb?

At the time of the February 22 2011 Christchurch Earthquake, the United States-New Zealand Council’s 4th Partnership Forum was also taking place in Christchurch. The Forum was attended by a coterie of élites, foreign and domestic. A ‘bond’ was forged.

The 4th United States-New Zealand Partnership Forum was hosted by the United States-New Zealand Council, with major corporate sponsors including U.S. weapons manufacturer, Lockheed Martin. The Forum had a twin theme of plans to forge the Trans-Pacific Partnership economic bloc and Asia-Pacific security. The Forum was disrupted by the earthquake during a luncheon session.

My supposition is that these two themes became charged with epic potency — as intended—when the tail-end of this conference collided with the magnitude 6.3 earthquake, which shook Christchurch at 12.51PM and jolted the city with destructive power from a depth of 5km for 20 seconds. It appears the remaining vestiges of NZ’s ‘isolationist’ anti-nuclear era policy were gone by the end of lunchtime — at least from the National Party’s leadership’s perspective. The phrase ‘gone by lunchtime’ became a cultural meme in 2004, after Foreign Minister Phil Goff, of the Clark Labour-led Coalition Government released notes made by a Foreign Affairs ministry official, who recorded Dr Don Brash saying to two US politicians that the National Party would scrap the ban on nuclear-powered ships “by lunchtime” if elected to power.

It was, therefore, ironic that Phil Goff met with Richard Armitage during the 4th United States-New Zealand Partnership Forum in Christchurch.

Ergo, the last luncheon session of the United States-New Zealand Partnership Forum seemed to be loaded with potency. The question is: can earthquakes be engineered?

Curiously, in a public meeting in the aftermath of the Christchurch Earthquake, John Key twice referred to the quake as “man-made”, before quickly correcting himself.

Recall that Key was schooled in Christchurch? And, that he became London and Wall Street banker after starting out as a currency trader in Christchurch? And, recall that less than a fortnight into his ministry, there was a staged take-down of an Air New Zealand-owned AirBus that crashed into the Mediterranean off the coast of France precisely one year ahead of the 30th anniversary of the Mount Erebus Disaster. As Snoopman has shown, the DC10 crash of Flight TE901 in Antarctica on November 28 1979, was air terrorism inflicted to coerce the key insiders to move bureaucratic mountains for the envisaged trans-corporate takeover of the economy — or more mountains could be moved in front of flight crews at any time, and at any place.

The crash the same day, November 28, that Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s South Pole team first sighted the Trans-Antarctic Mountains last thing at night on November 28 1911, on his fateful last expedition. The flight coordinates for the Air New Zealand DC10 aircraft had been changed hours before take-of; the airline didn’t tell the crew.

Where Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s South Pole team first sighted the Trans-Antarctic Mountains last thing at night on November 28 1911, on his fateful last expedition, Captain Jim Collins and his Air NZ flight crew didn’t see the mountain straight in front of them on November 28 1979. The crytpocracy codifies psychopathic humour as an expression of ritualized terrorism theater exhibiting spectacular power.

Ergo, this polar tragedy-themed disaster was staged as a cryptic threat to élites attuned to metaphor-laden signals; flight plans could be changed any time, any place.

And recall, how it was on John Key’s watch that four major ‘disasters’ followed, and all of them were engineered with the pattern of metaphor-laden historical date riffs?

Therefore, Snoopman advances the supposition that New Zealand is a closet pivot state; meaning key insiders of the national security state periodically inflict engineered ‘deep events’ — in collaboration with their Western counterparts — to pivot the Western-aligned countries deeper into the Anglo-American Empire’s orbit.

Pivot states are located at the seams of the international system, sandwiched between the spheres of influence of great powers or neighbouring a great power. During an Age of Conflict, such as the current Third Hundred Years’ War, pivot states are particularly vulnerable to interference since the world system is undergoing such epic geopolitical tectonic shifts. New Zealand is a soft target for foreign interference.

A shift in a pivot state’s overlapping spheres of interest can reverberate with regional and global security implications, and be locations where great power interests can collide and also clash. Pivot states are usually located at the seams of the international system. In a 2014 paper entitled, “Why are Pivot States so Pivotal? The Role of Pivot States in Regional and Global Security”, New Zealand’s closest international neighbour, Australia was identified as a pivot state for its ‘military strategic goods’.

Ergo, since the Empire remains in the closet, there is a creepy logic that such an oceanic power alliance would require a closet pivot state to be its ‘lighthouse’.

Also on February 20-22 2011, Christchurch hosted the 4th United States-New Zealand Partnership Forum, but it ended abruptly during a luncheon session on the last day. The presence of U.S. government and corporate officials in Christchurch and Wellington at the time of the Christchurch Earthquake of 22.02.2011 becomes more intriguing on examination of their backgrounds, their linkages and their activities.

The US delegation included: Admiral Thad Allen, retired Head of the U.S. Coast Guard; Tim Manning, Deputy Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); Mariko Silver, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary; and Richard Kirkland, President, South Asia, Lockheed Martin, and a former Vietnam War Special Forces operative, Richard Armitage.

For example, one of the characters at the 2011 US-NZ Partnership Forum was Admiral Thad Allen, who was the National Incident Commander of the Unified Command for the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.

The United States-New Zealand Council’s report noted that Allen recounted his experiences as National Incident Commander of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010 and prior assignments as head of the Coast Guard to deal with the 2005 Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 Haiti Earthquake. The US-NZ Council’s report, “The Power of Partnership: Global Challenges and the Role of the US-NZ Partnership” stated: “Little did [Admiral Thad] or anyone know how timely his remarks on disaster preparedness and response, and lessons learned from the three disparate disasters far from New Zealand, would be starting the following day shortly after noon in Christchurch”.

But, maybe Admiral Thad Allen did know. Anadarko was a 25% minority owner of the Macondo well (MC252) that exploded, while BP owned 65% and acted as the operator.

Therefore, was it rather ‘coincidental’ that Admiral Thad Allen would speak of his past disaster relief work including the Anadarko-BP-Deep Water Horizon oil spill of 2010? Especially given that Anadarko’s seismic testing vessel, MV Aquila Explorer, was was engaged in seismic data acquisition for Anadarko in the Canterbury Basin/Banks Peninsula area at the time of the Christchurch Earthquake.

The February 25 2010 announcement of the deal signed between US-based Anadarko and the Australian-based Origin Energy, in which Anadarko bought a 50 per cent interest in Origin’s offshore exploration permit, PEP 38262, in the Canterbury Basin, was a charged date, given the subequent massacre of civilians on February 22nd 2011.

Potently, it was on February 25 1943 that 48 Japanese prisoners were massacred at Featherston Prisoner of War Camp, some with rapid fire ‘tommy guns’. The reader may think Snoopman is darwing a long snoop-bow with this date correspondence.

However, given that a massacre is the random mass killing of humans, it is notable that the catastrophic M9 earthquake that struck the Tōhoku region in Japan on March 11, 2011, occurred with similar precursor signatures that preceeded the Darkfield Earthquake of September 4 2010, as well as the Christchurch Aftershock of February 22 2011. Moreover, Japan endured 20 years of recession that was inflicted by the Central Bank of Japan to coerce a structural transition to a more import-oriented financialized economy; a re-inflation of economy commenced in 2013 and 2014.

This structural adjustment was imposed at the insistence of American bankers and technocrats to sabotage Japan’s economic rise. In cahoots with Japan’s bank cartel, the Central Bank of Japan encouraged a boom cycle, enticing developers, financiers, and speculators to fuel a property and stockmarket boom in Tokyo, to trigger a bust to coerce change, as the Richard Werner, the author of The Princes of Yen, recounted.

Werner stated history teaches that fundamental changes to a system only occur in crisis conditions. In 1986, a Japanese Advisory Group on Economic Restructuring proposed a 10-year economic reform plan, stating without an historical transformation of Japan’s economic management and lifestyle there would be no further development. The plan would mean the abolition of Japan’s war economy that had been adapted for industrial consumer-focussed production. The Advisory Group proposed that monetary policy could create a historic crisis sufficiently large to overcome the vested interests at the Ministry of Finance, within the political class and among Corporate Japan. The best way to achieve a historic crisis was to create a financial bubble because that way no one stops you, Werner explained on CNBC.

Similarly, New Zealand’s Treasury and Reserve Bank in cahoots with Finance Minister Roger Douglas, imposed structural adjustments on the economy amid the atmosphere of emergency after the 1984 election, during which a currency crisis had been staged.

Meanwhile, the sharemarket was booming, fuelling corporate mergers to prepare the way for a wealth transfer upward and outward, while teethering New Zealand’s economy with Australia, and the trilateral world of North America, Europe and Japan.

Thus, where New Zealand had initially been a push-over to impose such structural adjustments, Japan was a much tougher proposition. And, where New Zealand’s Establishment had been coerced to move bureaucratic mountains to pave the way o the trans-corporate heist of the economy after an Antarctic mountain was moved in front of an Air NZ crew without telling them the flight coordinates had been changed, Japan was subjected to a drawn out economic recession because it was too productive.

Yet, New Zealand ‘ma and pa’ investors were punished for their defiance with the staged mass collapse of finance companies from the mid-2000s over a six year period.

The mangling of New Zealand had faltered in the mid-1990s as the National Government was forced to commence with Waitangi Treaty settlements, triggered by High Court challenges over state assets privatizations, and a widespread public backlash following the bailout of the Bank of New Zealand, and a public inquiry over Fay Richwite’s European Pacific tax evasion scheme. Michael Fay and David Richwhite self-exiled to Switzerland. Subsequently, an asset bubble was inflated to lure ‘ma and pa’ to ‘invest’ in New Zealand finance companies offering higher returns than banks. Predictably, 67 collapsed between 2006 and 2012, and regular investors lost $3 billion (NZD). This market failure was “the inevitable consequence of at least three decades of unreadiness, unwillingness and the inability of regulators, enforcers, courts, lawyers and accountants to fulfill their roles with integrity,” according to Tony Molloy, a Queens Counsel. Molloy is most known for writing a scathing book titled Thirty Pieces of Silver about the corporate underbelly of 1980s film tax shelters, bloodstock tax avoidance schemes, and the Cook Islands tax evasion schemes by European Pacific and major NZ firms. Parliament’s Finance Company Failures Inquiry met on August 20 2009 and again on October 4 2011 to consider the findings.

What are the odds that these two dates performed like wealth-themed bookshelf holders? On August 20 1945, the New Zealand pound was restored to pay parity with the sterling after nineteen years. And on October 4 1862, the pastorialists Thomas Low and John McGregor joined the gold mining at Arrow Point, a find attributed to Jack Tewa, known as ‘Maori Jack’. The strategic withdrawal of financial codes regulating the finance companies mirrored the strategic withdrawal of building codes oversight, lax earthquake risk management and sabotage of the rescue operations that led to the high casuality toll when the big quake hit Christchurch “on cue” in 2011.

Among the 115 fatalities in the six-story CTV Building, which collapsed and then burned, 28 were Japanese students studying English at a language education school.

Japan’s leadership needed to brought to be heel to submit to the West’s Overlords.

As with the economic boost associated with the reconstruction of Christchurch, which Prime Minister John Key described as “the largest and most complex, single economic project in New Zealand’s history”, the date March 11th 2011 marks the beginning of Japan’s long-term recovery, with the 2011 Reconstruction Design Council holding its first meeting shortly after the M9 Tōhoku Earthquake.

How uncanny was it that the US-NZ Partnership Forum, with its focus on Asia Pacific economic prosperity and security,would be ‘gone by the end of lunchtime’ on the second day — when a geophysical terrorism event rumbled across Christchurch?

Another speaker was former veteran of America’s War on Vietnam, Richard Armitage, who spoke during the afternoon session. His presentation, entitled “Creating a Platform for Political Engagement and Security in the Asia Pacific Region”, was deeply ironic. As a former Vietnam War Special Forces operative, he went on to become Deputy Secretary of Defense in the Reagan White-House. In that position, Armitage oversaw the Mujahideen in Afghanistan — along with CIA Director and Vatican Knight of Malta, William Casey — as part of the CIA’s Operation Cyclone, which was designed to strain the Soviet Empire’s economy, to precipitate its collapse.

In short, the Mujahideen War of 1979-1989 was designed to give the Soviets their ‘Vietnam’, or an un-winnable war. The cost of funding, arming, training of the Mujahideen in guerilla terrorism tactics was relatively inexpensive to the mission of breaking the Soviet Empire, since one grand chessboard geopolitical prize is Eurasia.

Thus, for a seemingly small price, a network of radicalized Muslims were manipulated into becoming a force multiplier to topple the Soviet Empire on promises that they would get their lands and mosques back, in accordance with the scheme of Zbigniew Brzezinki’s, the CIA’s pointman as National Security Advisor in the Administration.

Ostensibly, the veteran of America’s War on Vietnam, Richard Armitage, was in Christchurch representing Armitage International, a consultancy whose slogan brags the enterprise is “a force multiplier for international business”. As United States Army Major David S. Powell stated in his 1990 monograph, “Understanding Force Multipliers: The Key to Optimizing Force Capabilities in Peacetime Contingency Operations”, “a force multiplier is a tangible or intangible variable that increases the combat value and overall capability of a military force”. The Mujahideen were a force multiplier in a broader economic war to precipitate the collapse of the Soviet Empire.

Therefore, Armitage International’s brag line is intriguing since he was in Christchurch in his capacity as founder of Armitage International LLC, a consultancy that was also a signatory to a now-defunct neo-conservative-zionist think-tank, called the Project for a New American Century (PNAC). Among its lobbying moves were PNAC’s letters to President Clinton on intervention in Iraq and also against Slobodan Milošević, President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1997 to 2000). This means Armitage was embroiled in machinations to inflict regime changes. The Clinton Administration-supported the NATO War on Kosovo in 1999. And, following the 9/11 Coup D’état, PNAC members lobbied incessantly to have the Hussein Regime ousted.

Saddam Hussein was falsely accused of conspiring with Al Qaeda to inflict 9/11.

Moreover, Armitage — who had been involved in the Iran-Contra Conspiracy — had also in the week prior to 9/11 met with the head of the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), General Mahmud Ahmed, who ordered $100,000 to be wired to the 9/11 hijackers. Armitage — who was again Deputy-Secretary of Defence in the Bush II Administration — was named as a key suspect by Kevin Ryan in his book, Another Nineteen: Investigating Legitimate 9/11 Suspects. Ergo, 9/11 had an ensemble cast.

This ensemble cast stealthily reversed the entrenchment that the US intelligence agencies suffered during the news-worthy Senate investigations in the mid-1970s.

To reforge the Empire in the mid-1970s, the American deep state went on ‘safari’.

A transnational intelligence, terrorism and narcotics network — called the Safari Club — was actually the brainchild of the director of the DGSE’s predecessor agency, the SDECE. The Safari Club was founded by two of the Vatican’s Maltese Knights, Count Alexandre de Marenches, the director of the French Service de Documentation Exterieure et de Contre-Espionnage (SDECE) (1970-1981); and the Jesuit-educated U.S. Army General, Vernon Walters. This alliance — formed between the heads of American, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistani intelligence agencies and bound France, Egypt, Iran, Iraq and Pakistan — became a supranational deep state private intelligence network. The Empire doubled-down on its expansionism.

Moreover, it was George Herbert Walker Bush who, as CIA Director (1976-77), was tasked with persuading the Saudi Royal Family to join the Safari Club, and take over a large chunk of covert intelligence financing for the American Deep State. This geopolitical chess move marked the exponential rise of Islamic terrorism, which is deeply ironic given that Bush II was president at the time of the 9/11 Coup D’état.

Especially, since the Al Qaeda terrorist network, who morphed out of the Mujahideen, were entirely blamed for the attacks on the potent date of September 11 in 2001, which corresponds to the emergency phone-call number in the United States: 911.

Particularly, since during the Frank Church Senate Committee probes of 1975-77 into the activities of the FBI, CIA and NSA that underpinned Watergate, COINTELPRO, MK-ULTRA, Project Mockingbird and the JFK Assassination — it became evident to the American people that the US National Security State was out-of-control. The credibility of the intelligence, security and criminal investigation agencies ‘suffered’ from the retrenchment that ensued, to reign in their unbridled, unconstitutional and unconscionable plots, practices and powers.

This is the context underpinning how the 9/11 Coup D’état reversed this retrenchment.

In his excellent book, Another Nineteen: Investigating Legitimate 9/11 Suspects, Kevin Ryan links many of his key suspects to the means to pull off such an epic, brazen exhibition of blockbuster live terror theater. Ryans’ account deftly shows the continuity of ‘the Enterprise’ observed on the surface, in the background and the subsequent cover-ups of structural deep events from the JFK Coup D’état, Watergate, the October Surprise, the Iran-Contra Scandal, BCCI, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and the 9/11 Coup D’état. Indeed, Another Nineteen drew upon the insights of many, including former University of California Professor Peter Dale Scott, who popularized the term deep state, and located the phenomena in an American context in his 2015 book, The American Deep State: Wall Street, Big Oil and the Attack on U.S. Democracy.

A Swiss hisotrian, Daniel Ganser, lectures that the entire official 9/11 account itself collapses under scrutiny. The Empire is ruthless, using false flags routinely.

The 9/11 mega-ritual was pure blockbuster terrorism theater to re-set the Empire.

With a storeyed character such as Richard Armitage, you have to ask: why didn’t the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (SIS) issue a security risk certificate?

During the Q&A in Christchurch, Hillary Clinton derisively remarked that there were Americans who believed the United Nations was trying to take-over the world. This strawman logical fallacy was both an over-simplification and an inoculation tactic designed to immunize the audience to shut-out listening to ‘conspiracy theories’.

Yet, Hillary Clinton is a globalist connected to the Council on Foreign Relations, through her husband, former US President Bill Clinton. There is a back story.

➳ Missing Context to Hillary Clinton’s Remarks — Christchurch Town Hall

An Anglo-American Fraternity sought to make war against Germany, by bamboozling the NAZIs, in order to strengthen their own ambitions for world domination.

The United Nations, which is at present a defacto world government, was forged out of World War II ostensibly to mitigate the great powers fighting again. The real purpose was to facilitate the accumulation of wealth, power and control of the planet’s Overlords with the assistance of élites. The backstory is brutal and bleak.

The world’s trajectory has provable historical precedents of diabolical machinations by Western Élites, who built-up Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany and Communist China.

This present epic age of conflict began as a fight over the control of gold and diamonds in Southern Africa with the Boer War of 1899-1902, in order to fill a war chest for the new prize, oil. In 1880, Germany had surpassed Britain as an industrial power, and in the 1890s began moves to plan, invest and build the Berlin to Baghdad Railway to transport oil. In response, a British Secret Élite envisaged a diabolical double-global war strategy in an attempt to forge a universal empire.

The British Secret Élite embroiled Europe in war against Germany in order to smash the Russian Empire, since the British Oligarchy feared an alliance between Germany and Russia would led to the Russia Empire dominating the world.

In his book, Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, Professor Anthony Sutton explained the totalitarian socialist state — whether international socialist (communist), or national socialist (fascist) — was the perfect captive market for monopoly capitalists. After the American ‘Robber Barons’ forged cartels, Sutton said Wall Street insiders comprehended by the early 1900s, that the most efficient way to forge a monopoly market without contest, was to “go political” and compel society to work for the monopolists, under conditions of unfettered political power, individual coercion and spellbound by ideological persuasion that their toil benefits society.

In the aftermath of World War I, the Anglo-American oligarchs and élites that had conspired to make war against Germany sought to establish a quasi-world government apparatus called the League of Nations. However, members of the United States Congress viewed US membership would undermine the Constitution, since such an international entity could come to have a military stronger than the US.

When the United States Congress balked at this proposal during the so-called Paris Peace Conference in Versailles in 1919, the belligerent Anglo-American actors doubled-down to foment the conditions for another global war, with new resolve.

The Anglo-American Establishment formed the Royal Institute of International Affairs (1919) based in London and a counterpart organization based in New York (1921) called the Council on Foreign Relations for this purpose. It was the same Council on Foreign Relations that conducted the Rockefeller Foundation-funded War and Peace Studies Group (1939 to 1945), to advise the US Government, based on the idea the United States would emerge as the dominant power from WWII.

The Council on Foreign Relations logo, features a naked man on a white horse of conquest, which rears up over a banner that reads “VBIQVE”, or Ubique, the root word of ubiquitous. Thus, the imagery reads ‘conquest everywhere’.

In an epic plot with brinkmanship, plot twists, and betrayals, British, German and American bankers, along with other élites, conspired through networks of Freemasonry in their attempts to forge competing utopian visions of universal empire, as readings of Gerry Doherty’s and Jim Macgregor’s Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War, and Anthony Sutton’s Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution and Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler and Nicholas Hagger’s The Secret History of the West — together make clear. Plots involved infiltration, bribery and intrigue.

American industrialists also conspired with the American ‘Fraternity’ of bankers, to build up the Nazi war machine prior to World War II. Thirteen US industrial firms, who contracted with German corporations prior to and during World War II, were: the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, International Business Machines (IBM), Standard Oil of New Jersey (now Exxon-Mobil), DuPont, Dow Chemical, Alcoa Aluminum Company, American I.G. Chemical Corporation (later renamed General Aniline and Film), American International Telephone and Telegraph (IT&T), Radio Corporation of America (RCA), General Electric; Ozalid, and Agfa-Ansco.

This League of Nations was the forerunner to the United Nations.

In other words, at the time of her signing the Wellington Declaration, Hillary Clinton was in the orbit of a global élite who were working (and continue to) for the planet’s Overlords; a coterie of aggressive, factional, scheming dynastic ruling families.

Another key global-policy shaping group is the Bilderberg Foundation, which was established in 1952 for North Atlantic Western élites to discuss pressing issues over the coming year. Since 1954 the Bilderbergers have hosted around 120 to 140 participants annually to discuss pressing issues, possible plans, and viable solutions suitable to the North Atlantic ruling class and their military alliance: NATO.

According to the editor-in-chief of the Voltaire Network, Thierry Meyssan, the Bilderberg Foundation is a lobbying tool for the NATO Alliance, North Atlantic militarists that intend to be a secret world government. Estulin stated in his book, The True Story of the Bilderberg Group, that the Bilderberg Foundation worked with other global policy shaping think-tanks, such as the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations and the World Economic Forum, as a highly networked, wealthy and resourced global élite intent on achieving world domination featuring technofeudalism by inflicting military war, false flag terrorism and economic sabotage.

Crucially, The Economist has long had insider access to the Bilderberg Group’s meetings. As of 2015, The Economist’s owner, the Economist Group has been part-owned through a Netherlands-based holding company, Exor, belonging to the Italian Fiat industrialist family, Agnelli, as well as long-time stockholdings owned by the Rothschild, Cadbury, and Schroder dynasties. The Agnelli’s have a long association with the Bilderberg Group, and The Economist has long been the forum’s mouthpiece.

It turns out that the CIA and Unilever funded the inaugural meeting of the secretive global policy-shaping group, the Bilderberg Foundation, in 1952 at Hotel de Bilderberg, Oosterbeek, Netherlands. The Anglo-Dutch consumer goods giant, Unilever, which is headquartered in London, is among many transnational corporations whose top executives or board members are categorized as being part of the ‘transnational capitalist class’ (TCC), who are variously termed as the ‘global power élite’, the ‘superclass’, or the ‘globalists’. Like other major Western transnational corporations, Unilever’s executives have attended meetings of global policy-shaping institutions such as the Bilderberg Foundation, the World Economic Forum, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and the Trilateral Commission.

Their stated objective is to forge a global governance system — often described by the term, a ‘New World Order’, or its variants, such as an International Rules-Based Order.

This elite ‘globalist bloc’ orbit in an exclusive world of policy formation that once numbered 6000, according to David Rothkopf’s 2008 book, Superclass.

The world’s super-rich have accumulated so much wealth, that their needs for maintaining faster than average capital accumulation are immense, and require regime changes through wars, coups d’état and juntas, as Professor Peter Phillips found while researching the superclass for his 2018 book, Giants: The Global Power Elite. In his seminal 2011 book, Oligarchy, Professor Jeffrey A Winters’ stated that a “very well-paid mercenary army” comprises a Wealth Defense Industry, who follow the oligarchs’ directives as orders. Wealth defense is designed to maintain the conditions of extreme material inequalities. Ergo, oligarchs cause and thrive in crises.

As Snoopman stated in the introduction, the re-integration of N.Z. into the Anglo-American Empire was ‘book-ended’ by the two earthquake sequences, Canterbury and Kaikōura. The visits of two US secretaries of state are entwined with those earthquake sequences, as well as the presence of multi-national military contingents including the US in the country at the time of the two most damaging earthquakes.

On Sunday November 13 3016, US Secretary of State John Kerry met with NZ PM John Key — after a visit to Antarctica — and later that evening the Kaikōura Earthquake struck. The pair supposedly met for bilateral trade talks. Within a month, Key would announce his was quitting the PM’s post; his ‘tank’ was running on empty.

While thanking the Secretary of State Key remarked, “You can’t have a relationship which continues to go from strength to strength by accident. Like a marriage, you have to work at it, and I think both sides have been active and fully engaged.”

Senator Kerry was reported to be the highest ranking US politician to ever visit the Antarctic Continent, and the first to travel to all seven continents while clocking up over 1.3 million miles. He visited the historic Shackleton Hut, dedicated to polar explorer Ernest Shackleton, near McMurdo Station in view of Mount Erebus, the scene of New Zealand’s ‘darkest day’, where 257 fatalities occurred when an Air New Zealand DC-10 slammed into the mountain amid white-out conditions in 1979.

Just as the Christchurch Earthquake coincided with a multi-national naval, army and air force exercise, Southern Katipo, that was derailed, the Kaikōura Earthquake also coincided with a multi-national Naval Review to celebrate the Royal New Zealand Navy’s 75th Anniversary. Among the vessels present in NZ, was the guided-missile destroyer USS Sampson, which became the first US warship to visit NZ in 33 years.

The USS Sampson (DDG-102) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the United States Navy equipped with the SPY-1D passive electronically scanned array radar. The USS Sampson is the U.S. Navy’s 52nd Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, and is named in honor of Rear Admiral William Thomas Sampson (1840-1902), a naval hero in the Spanish-American War, who led the destruction of the Spanish Fleet in the harbor of Santiago, Cuba. Poignantly, the trigger for the Spanish-American War was the sinking of the USS Maine, which was blamed on Spain but was a false flag attack.

This ‘disaster’ gifted the USS Sampson the opportunity to assist with disaster relief.

Ergo, the USS Sampson’s sailors, along with their New Zealand counterparts aboard the HMNZS Canterbury, won public acclaim for the rescue and relief operations.

Ergo, in the 33rd year since a U.S. navy vessel had visited N.Z.’s waters, the South Pacific archipelago was said to have come ‘full circle’ in a lengthy re-integration back into the Anglo-American Empire, following a rift in the ANZUS alliance that widened into a chasm in the aftermath of the Rainbow Warrior Bombing in Auckland in 1985.

But, the visit by the USS Sampson in 2016, which closed this ‘full circle’ chapter, was ‘book-ended’ by two earthquake sequences: Canterbury and Kaikōura.

How uncanny that the Kaikōura Earthquake struck at 12.02am on 14 November 2016 (N.Z. local time), given that the electromagnetic technology that would be harnessed to amplify the natural forces in play at the time. Especially, since it was on November 14 1959, that precision approach radar came into operation at Wellington Airport (and claimed to be a first in the world), as any newsroom possessing a copy of A.W. Reed’s 1973 compedium, It Happened Today in New Zealand — could readily check.

And, what are the odds that the Kaikōura Earthquake struck on November 13 2016 at 11:02 am, UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)? Particularly, since the quake hit with a disaster-themed historical riff because it just happened to occur on the date that Mount Tongariro erupted on November 13 in 1896. Two died from the Kaikōura quake, while no deaths were reported as a result of the Tongariro eruption. The Kaikōura Earthquake completed the symbol sorcery of coming full circle, as far as reingrating the political-right bloc back into the American Empire was concerned.

Ergo, the banal act of the HMNZS Endeavour being refuelled by the USS Sampson on November 13 2016 took on the potency of a ritualized petro-alchemical wedding.

Senator Kerry’s visit the Antarctic Continent, just prior to meeting with NZ’s PM John Key on 13 November, carried potency since he was pictured with Mount Erebus in the background. Particularly, when it is known that Kerry is a Skull and Bonesman.

Thus, the meeting of US Secretary of State John Kerry with NZ Prime Minister John Key half a day prior to the Kaikōura Earthquake, and after the Massachusetts Senator had returned from Antarctica — raised eyebrows about the potential signalling.

As a marionette puppet of the planet’s Overlords, Kerry is not only a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a Bilderberg Group attendee. He is also a Skull and Bonesman, which is a Yale University brotherhood that selects 15 new members each year, who are bonded to support one another as they fill key posts in government, corporations and foundations. In studying an eight inch parcel of documents about Yale University’s most infamous fraternity for his 1983 book America’s Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones, Professor AnthonySutton realised their game was to spearhead institutions, initiatives and intrigues in order to inflict a ‘managed conflict’ paradigm. Sutton found monopoly capitalists bankrolled totalitarian communist and fascist regimes, as they were captive markets.

➳ The EMF Connection in an Electro-Magnetic Cosmos

The February 22 2011 magnitude 6.3 Christchurch Aftershock followed a magnitude 7.1 Darfield Earthquake in Canterbury, New Zealand, that occurred on 4 September 2010. Despite hundreds of aftershocks that happened between the 7.1 Darfield Earthquake and the M6.3 Christchurch Aftershock, the good people of Christchurch were lulled into a false sense of security following the September 4 2010 earthquake.

The epicenter of the M6.3 aftershock was below Heathcote Valley in the Port Hills, right on the sub-surface fault structure. The Cracroft Caverns Laboratory in Cashmere were but a ‘stone’s throw’ distance from the Port Hills fault.

In a June 2011 report by Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) from the Institution of Structural Engineers headquartered in London, the engineers added the relative locations of Central Christchurch to Heathcote Valley School, near the epicenter, where three strong motions instruments at this station recorded considerable horizontal and vertical motions during the February 22 2011 earthquake.

This EEFIT report (June 2011) describes New Zealand’s tectonic setting as “a region of high seismicity, with the majority of seismicity occurring in broad zones associated with the tectonic plate boundary between the Australian Plate to the west and the Pacific Plate to the east. In the Fiordland region at the deep South of New Zealand, the Australian Plate is subducting obliquely to the east beneath the Pacific Plate at the Puyseguer Trench, according to the Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team. To the east of the North Island of New Zealand, the Pacific Plate is subducting obliquely to the northwest beneath the Australian Plate at the Hikurangi Trough.

Subduction is a geologic process in which one plate of the Earth’s lithosphere is pushed underneath another plate. It occurs at destructive plate boundaries, where two or more of the Earth’s tectonic plates intersect and collide. Subduction zones are areas of long-term, ongoing deformation and are associated with volcanism.

Yet, a ‘false sense of security’ existed prior to the big quake of February 22nd 2011.

Rather than being the result of ignorance, complacency, incompetence, Snoopman contends that a sinister agenda from the state apparatus underpinned a ‘forged reality’.
