50 Years On: Anniversary of the Historic Māori Land March

October 11, 2025 Pam Vernon 1 Comment

Note: Lamestream has been curiously silent on this topic this year. At the 40th anniversary in 2016 there was a special doco made in commemoration that had disappeared from sight when I searched a year or so ago …. I finally located & purchased it after a long trail of emails. I was invited a year ago by one online magazine to write for this commemoration, only to find there was nary a mention of it come the time. Zero. Anywhere. Again I find this curious. A quick search turned up a couple of art exhibitions on topic but nothing. Fifty years on? Such a memorable event? Who controls lamestream? Anyway I happened, quite by chance, to take part in the first leg of this March in 1975, and did write of the experience as invited. I have posted it below FYI … If the event interests you at all that is. Such interest among my peers is pretty minimal I would have to say. Indeed it produces either deafening silence, or indignant reactions. The truth of our histories must be told in order to move forwards. Perhaps in this era with the endless lying we have witnessed, it may provoke more interest? The lying goes way back. It is quite frankly, what woke me up. EWNZ

The Land March of ‘75… I recall clearly that memorable moment, setting off from Te Hāpua in the Far North. Those first steps on the metal road, the crunching of shoes on the stones, eager feet not yet blistered and sore, the excited kōrero going on around us, and that now iconic image of Dame Whina Cooper and her little moko at the front, walking up the hill! And that tag line … ‘not one more acre!’

What an historic moment it was!

I am 74 now. I was only 24 back then. On reflection, it was a year to remember, for reasons I could never have foreseen, and marking the beginning of big changes in my life. I was about to embark on a five decade long learning curve, that like the March, would have many twists and turns. It was a journey that would teach me that no, as the popular belief was back then, NZ did not have the ‘best race relations in the world’. More importantly, I would learn why.

And yet you could say it was only by chance really that I happened to be caught up in the March at all. Perhaps it was providence?

Either way, for various reasons, I’d already dismissed the prospect of going. Being a single parent with my three year old daughter Kahuiarangi in tow, the trip would have posed too many challenges. I was not long out of a violent marriage, so going up there alone was out of the question. I was also very shy. I had already learned a little about the intended March as I’d been following and supporting various protest groups at the time. One of those was CARE, the Citizens Association for Racial Equality. Racism and human rights were a big focus back then. HART, Halt All Racist Tours, was another. That was about South Africa’s official policy of ‘no Blacks allowed’ on their Springbok teams. Consequently, there were fierce protests NZ wide whenever the Springboks toured. There were many folk then who had a real determination to stamp out racism. There were of course the other folk who, like today, believed the aforementioned propaganda on race relations. It was a case of ‘good luck’ to anyone daring to challenge that one.

Those perceptions were challenged however, with the ‘75 March, and then again with the 1981 Springbok tour which saw over 200 demonstrations in 28 centers throughout New Zealand. There were 1500 people charged with offenses related to those events. People were not having a bar of racism, artists and poets included.

So as chance (or providence) would have it then, on 13 September 1975, I received a phone call from my old friend Barnie Pikari. He and his mate Tama Poata had broken down near Marton, not too far from Hunterville where I was living. I’d not seen Barnie for several years. It turned out he and Tama had left Wellington, heading for Te Hāpua in Tama’s Bedford truck, intending to spend time with Tama’s friend Saana Murray in the Far North before the March began. Tama had helped Saana with her book Te Karanga a te Kotuku. I’d been reading it so had learned a bit about Saana’s struggles in retaining her ancestral lands in the north. The truck fix required parts that would take some time to arrive, so he and Barnie had been forced to find other means of traveling north. As it happened, I’d just purchased my very first car, a little 1961 Ford Prefect, so without hesitation I offered to drive them. I’d never driven that far before so fortunately, had given little thought to the logistics of such a long trip. I say fortunately, because had I done so I likely would never have offered! The trip would take more than twelve hours and the roads in 1975 were very different to 2025.

After packing a few essentials we piled into the Prefect and set off almost straight away, taking turns driving. Obviously, we eventually got there, but not without difficulty. Being a first car I’d not thought about things like spare tyres so at Hamilton, when we got a flattie in the middle of the night, with my spare at home in the laundry, we were forced to get very creative and figure out alternatives! Kiwi ingenuity prevailed and Tama and Barnie came up with the brilliant idea of cutting grass from the side of the road and stuffing the tyre. Gradually we limped, regularly re-stuffing it, until we arrived in Auckland and were able to buy a new one. We sped on north then to arrive at Te Hāpua just as breakfast was finishing. We had a short meet up and photos with Rowley Habib and Saana, watched the haka and listened to the departure kōrero, then set off.

*Left to right: Saana Murray, Rowley Habib, Barnie Pikari, Pam Vernon and Kahuriarangi Te Huatahi at Te Hāpua* *just before the March*

I’d decided by then, having traveled that far and having company now, I would stay on and join the March for a while at least, which turned out to be the Te Hāpua to Auckland leg. My daughter, an easy going child, seemed to have coped okay with the trip, and there were other children now for her to play with.

*Kahuiarangi and Dame Whina’s little moko*

Dame Whina’s little moko was the same age as her so she occasionally came with us in the car. Barnie occasionally drove so I could join the hikoi, sometimes pushing my daughter in her pushchair. Tama had become more involved at an organizational level so aside from the occasional catch up we didn’t see too much of him after that. Along the way we would all stop as a group for refreshments and for tending to sore and blistered feet.

I wish I could say I remember all the content of Dame Whina’s kōrero along the way. In our rush for departure I hadn’t thought of pen and paper, or that I’d even need them, and of course there was no such thing as mobile phones with video and photographic capability. Plus, I had a three year old to care for. Every evening Dame Whina would address those present and explain the purpose of the March, educating us on the historic detail including her own experiences. The concept of government theft of land was pretty new to me, and for most New Zealanders I believe, still is. It blew me away. What particularly struck home from those often fiery nightly kōrero at the respective marae, was our education on the various government Acts, particularly the Public Works Act. Via these Acts, lands were ‘temporarily’ confiscated for other purposes during wartime for instance, then neither returned as promised, nor fully compensated for. Like the lands of the Tainui Awhiro people that had been taken during World War II for an aerodrome, then retained after the war and not returned as promised. Part of those lands had then been turned into the Raglan golf course. It took years of protest and resistance before they were finally returned in 1987. So this taking of lands wasn’t just back in the 1800s as many believe. Folk of my era will know that this kind of information was not imparted to us in our history lessons at school. Rather we learned about the English wars abroad, wars of no great relevance to us. We little knew that we had our own histories of war fought right here … wars of land conquest by the colonial government. Wars over lands that some Māori did not want to sell but which the settler government was determined to have. The richer and more strategically situated lands of the Bay of Plenty, Waikato, Hawke’s Bay, Taranaki and elsewhere, where in all, six million acres were confiscated. In order to justify this, non-sellers were cleverly classed ‘rebels’. Another method of land acquisition has been the perpetual lease system. Māori lands leased for pennies on the dollar so to speak, stripping the owners of their right to manage their own whenua. To get those lands back requires repayment of unmanageable sums to the lessees for improvements made. Mihingarangi Forbes reports on this situation in Tokomaru Bay and the Taranaki and how it has become now an even more unjust situation that no government wants to address. Also mentioned in her documentary, there is the taking of lands from Māori soldiers who went to fight in the world wars. Many returned from war to find they were landless. All with the stroke of a pen. To achieve this land grabbing, there were wars using weaponry, and wars using pen and paper. As the saying goes, the pen is mightier than the sword … in this case yes, those Land Acts did a great job of conquest. Such was Te Kooti Tango Whenua: the Land Taking Court, literally. This was the Native Land Court. For more light on that, one should read Professor David Williams‘ book of that name. He gets very specific about the machinations of that Court, recorded by him as being by far the greater tool for land acquisition than any other. Williams cites IH Kawharu as calling it a ‘veritable engine of destruction’ (ibid p 17). Dr Danny Keenan describes it as ‘predatory’ and ‘ruinous’.

So my learning curve had just begun, not just about land loss, but another important aspect: that of my own whakapapa and identity. I began to research this more after the March was over. My tupuna hail from the Whanganui River. Ko Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi te iwi.

Ko au te awa, ko te awa ko au
I am the river and the river is me.

So my dad was Māori but knew nothing of our history or our connections to pass on to us, his generation being well into the assimilation process. Dad’s grandmother was Kiri Te Huatahi. She was raised on the river and her daughter Ani, Dad’s mother, was raised at Pipiriki. Dad’s great grandfather Toi Te Huatahi was from Tāngarākau. Dad’s grandmother Kiri had married a Scotsman, William Ross, and his own mum had married a French Canadian, Albert Vernon. So he and his six siblings were raised in Pākehā ways.

We’d been up the Whanganui River road in search of clues to our history not too long before the March as it happened. I recall him peering across the river from Pipiriki to where he’d been told his Aunt Harriett had been buried when she was just 11 years old. She’d drowned in the river. Her older brother later died as a teen from poisoning by green grapes it was said, according to the Doctor who saw him at the time. We do know now that flour intended for non-sellers on the river was poisoned ⁱ with arsenic. I do wonder about my great uncle and whether he somehow fell victim to it.

For my dad, his six siblings and his mum, those were survival years. The way forward for many was seen as learning and adopting Pākehā ways in order to live in a Pākehā world. Language banned in schools, lands largely gone and an assimilation agenda well under way, my dad and his siblings faced as little kids, a very racist world. Folk, they said, would cross the road rather than speak to them in 1920s Whanganui. They were half castes! My Pākehā mum’s widowed mother slapped her face when she learned Mum was going to marry Dad.

*Art Installation by the author: Non-selling Maori were targeted with arsenic laced flour (David Young, Woven by Water, p24-25)* *(Photo Credit: Pam Vernon)*

Unfortunately the ‘half castes’ end up feeling they don’t belong in either world. Artist Natalie Robertson aptly describes this as standing astride two tectonic plates that shift and moveⁱⁱ.

The racism has not gone away. It’s simply gone underground.

Ironically, and by way of illustration, while on the March we encountered a racist incident in Auckland. It had been raining that night in Auckland and all three of us were very tired. We decided to spend a night in a motel to dry off our wet clothing and rest as I intended returning home with my daughter the next day. The first motel we approached had a sign out indicating vacancies. Barnie suggested I go in and arrange the booking while he stay in the car with my daughter. That was all good. Then when I signaled to him that we had a booking he drove up to the parking area outside. As we organized our gear to go in however, we were told a mistake had been made and there weren’t any vacancies. Being highly suspicious, we promptly drove around the corner and phoned the motel from a phone booth asking were there vacancies. Yes was the reply. They had vacancies, proving our suspicion was correct, that they’d denied us on grounds of race. Being new to such scenarios, I was angered and determined to approach the Race Relations people to make a complaint, however Barnie promptly waved that off as a waste of time.

*Tama Poata (marching with the pou) and Barnie Pikari: Land March 1975*

I’ve concluded from what I’ve witnessed over ensuing years that he was probably right. For most Māori, the scenario described is not an uncommon one.

Returning home, Tama came with me to get his truck, now repaired, to then return and rejoin the hikoi. All updates on the March were from there on by phone and via the nightly news where it was making headlines daily. Tama’s and my kōrero while traveling was further education for me. His long term involvement with human rights, particularly for Māori, made him a deep well of information. The following is information that particularly stood out for me and you will see why.

At the time of the March, I had been a Christian for three years. I’d been converted on a Gisborne marae, at my father in law Hikiera Mihaere’s tangi. My brother in law Truby had explained to me the tenets of the Gospels and my decision there to follow Christ had brought great peace and reassurance to my life. It was very real. Truby was in training in Auckland at the time to be a Baptist minister. With my still new found Christian faith, I was naively confident that God could easily fix racism and restore lost Māori lands, and I told Tama so. His unexpected yet kindly response (recognizing my ignorance) was nevertheless to the point.

It was the Christian Church he said, that had made the largest acquisitions of Māori lands.

This info took the wind right out of my sails. What could I possibly say to that? Three decades on, I would read in The Rich A New Zealand History by Stevan Eldred-Grigg (p 25) that the children and grandchildren of the first Williams generation (missionary Reverend Henry Williams’ family) had become wealthy land owners by the end of that century. Graeme Hunt reports in The Rich List (2000, p22) that at the time of writing some 800 of Henry’s direct descendants owned more land than any other family in NZ. Although later reinstated, Williams had been dismissed from the Church Missionary Society for these extensive land acquisitions. There were some denominations however that forbade them, period. Clearly Reverend Williams did much good in his time of service both to God and to people. I don’t doubt that. Such large purchases of land however, clearly did little good for God’s reputation. And the prices back then were unarguably fire sale. They are purchases that dog the Reverend’s reputation to this day.

And so, remember that the victors wrote our histories. However, my consolation is that nothing is hidden that won’t eventually be revealed as the Reverend’s good book tells us in Matthew 10:26.

POST SCRIPT

Both Barnie and Tama have passed on now. After the March Barnie joined with Ngā Tamatoa and was part of the occupation of Parliament grounds. He went on to protest vigorously against injustice and racism, both here and in Australia, he wrote articles for the Porirua Community newspaper Te Awa Iti, and co-authored a book, He Whakaaro Ke. He also trained as a Social Worker, and worked for both the Children & Young Persons Service and Māori Mental Health Services. Tama continued his long time involvement in activism against injustice including South African apartheid and the Vietnam War. He wrote a memoir called Seeing Beyond the Horizon that tells his life story, including his impressive achievements in film. He was also involved with initiating the Wai 262 claim, was involved with film, acting in Ngati, a landmark Māori film, plus he acted in and directed many other films. He also promoted indigenous film making in NZ and overseas. At Tama’s passing the late Tariana Turia stated “Tom was one of our quiet revolutionaries who changed our world for the better, in so many different areas” ⁱⁱⁱ. You can find Tama’s book at Steele Roberts’ publishing site. Although now out of print, you will find Barnie’s book from time to time on the second hand book sites.

My dear Dad who weaves intricately into our story, had gone off to World War II at barely 17 years old and had returned amazingly with all of his four brothers. He then met and married our Mum in Whanganui, trained as a builder, then worked hard for the rest of his life, along with my Mum, supporting our family and growing our kai. In his last two years of life, living in the Bay of Plenty with our Mum, he joined the Presbyterian Māori Mission and began learning te reo.

During my child raising years I trained part time as a social worker. After working for six years with Child Youth and Family, I resigned in 1999 and enrolled in a Ucol art class. While studying I attended an art exhibition titled: Parihaka: The Art of Passive Resistance, highlighting a government invasion that didn’t make it into our history books (the victors write our histories). You can read the Parihaka story at their website. I then applied to study Māori Visual Arts at Toioho ki Apiti in Palmerston North. There I would learn more about the Treaty of Waitangi and our true histories, including my own. My art is, among other things, about colonization, the resultant destruction of our environment and about our true histories. I also write. (links below to my websites).

The Agenda: Their Vision – Your Future (2025)

October 11, 2025 Pam Vernon Leave a comment

CoronavirusPlushie

The Agenda: Their Vision | Your Future is a feature-length independent documentary produced by Mark Sharman; former UK broadcasting executive at ITV and Sky (formerly BSkyB).

In fiction and fact, there have always been people and organisations with ambitions to control the world. And now the oligarchs who pull the strings of finance and power finally have the tools to achieve their global objectives; omnipresent surveillance, artificial intelligence, digital currency and ultimately digital identities. The potential for social control of our lives and minds is alarmingly real.

The plan has been decades in the making and has seen infiltration of Governments, local councils, big business, civil society, the media and, crucially, education. A ceaseless push for a new reality, echoing Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, or George Orwell’s 1984.

The Agenda: Their Vision, Your Future examines the digital prison which awaits us if we do not push back right now. How your food, energy, money, travel and even your access to the internet could be limited and controlled; how financial power is strangling democracy and how global institutions like the World Health Organisation are commandeered to champion ideological and fiscal objectives.

The centrepiece is man-made climate change and with it, the race to Net Zero. Both are encapsulated in the United Nations and its Agenda 2030. A force for good? Or “a blank cheque for totalitarian global control”?

The Agenda presents expert views from the UK, the USA and Europe.

The sugar industry has manipulated scientific research on fluoride since the 1930s

Sugar Industry Falsified Science to Sell America on Fluoride

A new study reveals the sugar industry has manipulated fluoride science since the 1930s — exaggerating benefits, concealing risks and steering attention away from sugar’s role in tooth decay. The findings show that industry influence shaped fluoridation policies, raising urgent questions about the public health guidance that persists today.

by Brenda Baletti, Ph.D.

The sugar industry has manipulated scientific research on fluoride since the 1930s — exaggerating its benefits, suppressing concerns about serious side effects and shifting attention away from sugar’s role in tooth decay, according to a study published Monday in the journal Environmental Health.

Internal sugar industry and dental organization documents, analyzed by the study’s author Christopher Neurath, detail how the sugar industry helped shape the public health policies that, for decades, touted fluoride as a “magic bullet” against tooth decay.

The documents also show how the tobacco and chemical industries later adopted those tactics.

Neurath, research director for the American Environmental Health Studies Project, told The Defender that his research builds on work by Dr. Cristin Kearns. Kearns revealed how the sugar industry paid scientists to downplay links between sugar and heart disease and promote saturated fat as a risk factor.

The sugar industry — and the industrial food industry as a whole — “have played a huge role in manipulating not just the science, but the policy,” Neurath said of his findings. “I think this helps to show they are likely culprit No. 1 in the chronic disease epidemic.”

Controversy over water fluoridation exploded after plaintiffs won a landmark lawsuit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in September 2024. The ruling — now on appeal — compels the agency to set new rules for regulating fluoride in water because fluoride poses an “unreasonable risk” to children’s neurodevelopment.

Since then, numerous communities — and two states — have decided to stop fluoridating their water.

The “Make Our Children Healthy Again” strategy report, published earlier this month under the direction of U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., called on the EPA to review new science on fluoride’s potential health risks. The report also instructed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to update its water fluoridation recommendations.

Despite the scientific findings exposing fluoride’s dangers, public health officials and pro-fluoride organizations like the American Dental Association (ADA), as well as most legacy media organizations, remain committed to the narrative that water fluoridation is safe, effective and necessary.

Neurath’s study traces the sugar industry’s influence on fluoride policy back nearly 100 years, through major research institutions, the ADA and U.S. government programs.

“Chris Neurath’s new article shows how the sugar industry used fluoridation as a smoke screen — a tactic that raises troubling questions about the science that supported it,” Dr. Bruce Lanphear, an expert on the neurotoxic effects of environmental chemicals at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, Canada, told The Defender.

“These findings make it imperative for dentists, physicians and public health authorities to urgently re-examine the risks and benefits of fluoridation,” he said.

Lanphear is the principal investigator in one of the seminal cohort studies linking maternal exposure to fluoridated water to cognitive deficits in their children.

Industry established ‘Sugar Fellowship’ to investigate fluoride in 1930s

The sugar industry began its campaign to shift attention away from sugar’s effects on dental health in the 1930s, when it funded the Sugar Fellowship, held by chemist Gerald Cox at the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research.

“The Sugar Fellowship was intended to produce evidence that would exonerate sugar from causing tooth decay (dental caries) or failing that, find ways to reduce caries without restricting sugar consumption,” Neurath wrote.

Cox studied the impact of sugar consumption on cavities in rats. In 1939, his flawed experiments — sometimes showing more decay in fluoride groups — led him to propose adding fluoride to drinking water.

Cox wrote major portions of a 1952 National Research Council report on the prevention of cavities that emphasized fluoride’s role. He never disclosed his links to the sugar industry.

That work gave the industry its “magic bullet” against tooth decay, Neurath said.

ADA agrees to ‘cooperate’ with sugar industry

In the decades that followed, the sugar industry quietly worked behind the scenes to use Cox’s flawed science to drive public health policy.

In the 1940s, it created the Sugar Research Foundation (SRF).

In 1944, Fice Mork, son of the president of the New York State Dental Society, left his position as public relations counsel for the ADA to become SRF’s public relations consultant.

That year, Mork and Robert Hockett, who directed SRF from its founding until 1953 — when he left to work for the tobacco industry — met with ADA executives who agreed to “cooperate” with SRF.

According to Neurath, Mork and Hockett persuaded the ADA to reverse its position on cavities. Instead of blaming cavities on nutritional deficiencies like excessive sugar consumption and vitamin D deficiency, the ADA began to promote fluoride as a solution for cavities.

Mork and Hockett organized a 1944 symposium for thousands of dentists, without disclosing that SRF was funding the event.

“The symposium was an opening salvo in a public campaign to promote fluoride and fluoridation as the solution to prevent tooth decay,” Neurath wrote. The “founding fathers of fluoridation” gave presentations on its benefits, according to Neurath.

SRF paid to print and mail 100,000 copies of the symposium proceedings to every dentist in the U.S., and also to pediatricians, public health officials and dental schools.

Mork and Hockett also met with the new editor of the Journal of the American Dental Association, Harold Hillenbrand, who agreed to “unofficially” inform Hockett about the positions of various people inside the ADA regarding the policy shift toward fluoride.

Hillenbrand later became the executive director of the ADA and held the position until 1970.

Kellogg’s teams up with dental industry to promote fluoride

During that same period, an executive from Kellogg’s — maker of sugary cereals — became chair of the ADA committee that set its dental health policy. The organization stopped pushing to reduce sugar consumption and started pushing fluoride.

Philippe Hujoel, DDS, Ph.D., a professor at the University of Washington whose own research exposed conflicts of interest regarding fluoride at the ADA, said Neurath’s revelations “add a substantial number of details on how organizations hide/obscure/protect their internal deliberations, their internal conflicts of interest.”

He added:

“Maybe more importantly, his report documents in detail the long, difficult, and arduous process of trying to uncover what happens behind the walls of confidentiality of organizations. The amount of work done by Chris is astounding.

“Reading Chris’s article, I was reminded of a quote by Alberto Brandolini, a Programmer: ‘The amount of energy necessary to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it.’ Chris’s work suggests it may be several orders of magnitude bigger.”

Hillenbrand was one of the first dentists to be elected to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), which raises questions about other IOM appointments, according to Hujoel.

“One wonders about all the other appointments at this Institute of Medicine and to what extent these appointments are partly responsible for the current diabetes epidemic,” he said.

Dentists ‘largely unaware’ of how sugar industry manipulated science

Neurath told The Defender that the sugar industry’s deceptive tactics have been going on for so long that many dentists and public health officials who embrace the use of fluoride are “largely unaware of any industry manipulation of the science.”

“The sugar industry very consciously targeted dentists,” he said. “They went to the top of the dentistry profession and got the ADA on board,” and the leaders of the ADA “hid the fact that they were essentially cooperating with the sugar industry from practicing dentists.”

The sugar industry also targeted dental schools and universities, Neurath said.

At Harvard School of Public Health, Fredrick Stare championed the idea that water fluoridation would prevent cavities. He founded Harvard’s Department of Nutrition largely with donations from the sugar industry and Big Food, according to Neurath.

Neurath also reveals evidence that the industry influenced the National Institutes of Health National Caries Program, funded by Congress and launched in 1971 to fight tooth decay. He said the policy agenda for the program used language written by the International Sugar Research Foundation, the SRF’s successor organization.

Sugar industry, Big Food suppress facts on fluoride’s dangers

Today, the influence of the sugar industry is embodied in the giant food and beverage corporations, including Coca-Cola, the largest purveyor of sugar globally. Neurath said it is “almost the equivalent of the sugar industry today.”

In 2003, Coca-Cola donated $1 million to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, which has a “long-standing policy of promoting water fluoridation.”

More recently, as evidence emerged linking water fluoridation to reduced IQ in children, industry-backed scientists have gone on the attack.

Sugary food and beverage corporations, including Coca-Cola and Kellogg’s, contributed tens of millions of dollars to the National Academies of Science, Engineering & Medicine, which interfered with the publication of the National Toxicology Program’s (NTP) seminal report linking fluoride to neurotoxicity in children.

As lobbyists within the ADA were working with government officials to block the release of the NTP report, scientists with links to a German organization, International Life Sciences Institute (ILSI), published their own review of the science.

The review found “no cause for concern,” according to the press release that accompanied its publication, and has been touted by fluoridation promoters in their claims that water fluoridation is safe.

ILSI was founded by a vice president of Coca-Cola and has been funded by the beverage maker “along with a long list of major companies in the sugary foods, processed foods, infant formula, chemical, pesticide, oil and pharmaceutical industries,” Neurath said.

Documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests by plaintiffs in the lawsuit against the EPA revealed that the Oral Health Division of the CDC — the agency largely responsible for promoting fluoridation at the governmental level — privately met with some authors of the German review for help in counteracting the NTP’s findings.

The ongoing struggle over water fluoridation

The ADA, together with organizations like the American Fluoridation Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics, continues a national campaign to push water fluoridation as safe and effective.

The organizations are quoted in The New York Times and proudly send pro-fluoridation representatives across the country to intervene when communities debate changing their water fluoridation policies.

Government records requests show that these activities include coordinating behind the scenes with government officials — in ways that violate rules of federal grants — and bullying local officials who raise concerns.

The evidence on fluoride’s benefits has changed, and proof of its harms to children’s health is substantial, Neurath told The Defender.

In October 2024, an updated Cochrane Review concluded that adding fluoride to drinking water provides very limited, if any, dental benefits, especially compared with 50 years ago.

Overwhelming scientific research shows that fluoride’s benefits to teeth are topical, not the result of ingesting fluoride. Research also shows that ingesting fluoride is linked to behavioral issues, disruption of thyroid functioning and disruption of the gut microbiome.

Numerous recent studies have shown fluoride’s links to reduced IQ and other neurodevelopmental issues in children.

Many major professional medical organizations have quietly dropped their previous long-term support for water fluoridation. These include the American Cancer Society, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American College of Physicians, and the American College of Preventive Medicine.

The ADA did not respond to The Defender’s request for comment on the study.Related articles in The Defender

More than 20 NZ MPs rent back their own homes at the taxpayer’s expense

October 9, 2025 Pam Vernon Leave a comment

From The Post

At least 20 MPs are claiming up to $45,000 a year allowance to stay in their own Wellington homes, a perk that sees the taxpayer help politicians pay off their mortgages.

Four ministers (Duncan Webb, Jan Tinetti, Deborah Russell and Willie Jackson) claimed the capped allowance, of up to $45,000 a year, to cover living costs in the city. They then use it to pay rent on property they already own.

Four Government MPs (Arena Williams, Jenny Salesa, Jamie Strange and Sarah Pallet) claim an entitlement of up to $31,000 per year.

Twelve National Party MPs, including leader Christopher Luxon, do the same. They are: Andrew Bayly; Gerry Brownlee; Judith Collins; Jacqui Dean; Barbara Kuriger; Melissa Lee; Ian McKelvie; Mark Mitchell; Simon O’Connor; Stuart Smith; Louise Upston and Michael Woodhouse.

ACT’s Simon Court also claims the allowance and owns property in the Capital, but the party did not respond to a request for comment.

No current Green Party or Te Pāti Māori MPs from outside of Wellington listed a property on their pecuniary interest register.

The arrangements are entirely within Parliament’s rules. And neither Labour nor National have plans to change them. In fact, MPs may soon be in line for a boost to their pay and perks.

Revealed: New Zealand’s Cruel Genetic Engineering Animal Field Trials Reach An End (GE-Free New Zealand)

October 8, 2025 Pam Vernon 5 Comments

From GE-Free New Zealand

The GE Animal experimental field trials have ended in failure. The disastrous trials have come at the cost of years of cruelty to the animals.

The trials involving hundreds of animals over two decades have been largely kept under the radar from public scrutiny, but as of June 2025, the AgResearch Annual Report to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) show there are no GE animals surviving in the New Zealand Ruakura field trials. [1]

The data sourced from AgResearch’s Ruakura facility annual reports have been compiled in ‘The GE Animals Report 2014-2025‘ [2] which summarises the genetic engineering trials on a range of farm animals in New Zealand. The earlier report GE Animals the First Fifteen years 2000-2015 showed the same inhumane issues arising. [3]

The report documents years of adverse outcomes like spontaneous abortions, cancers, deformities and sterility that the GE animals suffered and raises serious ethical concerns about why the GE animal experimentation was ever allowed.

“This is an unacceptable level of inhumanity to sentient animals,” said Claire Bleakley, president of GE Free NZ, who compiled the report findings. “Sadly, the cruelty has been allowed to continue for 25 years. There has been little ethical constraint on the objectives of profit and patents allowing the scientific realities to be ignored.”

Although the GE animals have now all been terminated, there is concern that a new wave of cruel experiments will commence under The Gene Technology Bill with no regulatory oversight of ethics or animal welfare.

All the scientific information on the failed outcomes of the 20 field trials was excluded from consideration by MPs on the Health Select Committee and was never considered by MBIE or the Technology Advisory Group when The Gene Technology Bill was drafted. [4]

“The authors of the Bill were told such evidence did not exist on any of the 20 field trials. This means that the Select Committee and government members were not briefed on the failures, misery and distress to animals or the deleterious effect on New Zealand’s reputation and trade relationships,” said Jon Carapiet, spokesman for GE-Free NZ.

This dark history of cruel animal experiments reinforces the need for a ban on GE animals and the need for the highest ethical global practices to be part of New Zealand legislation.

Keeping New Zealand GE-Free aligns with the values of people who prioritise ethical standards and want to see New Zealand lead by example in both innovation and compassion towards animals.

In 2002 in NZ a Landcare scientist estimated the likely death toll from an Otago 1080 drop to be around 10,000 birds

And DoC claims 1080 targets non native species?

Read a quote from DoC’s own website:

1080 targets predators

New Zealand is unusual, because apart from bats, there are no native land mammals. This means we can control introduced mammalian predators without negatively impacting populations of native species.

1080 targets introduced predators such as rats and possums. Stoats are also controlled through scavenging of poisoned rat carcasses. SOURCE

Would they have us believe that of these 10K deaths, none were natives? Other drops indicate otherwise (read at the link below).

October 5, 2025 Pam Vernon 6 Comments

This important data was heavily censored at the roll out, preventing you from making a truly informed decision. It’s not medical advice, it’s just putting out there for you, the respective and differing medical points of view that we have been served up EWNZ

Here are those supplied by the authorities in NZ:

The most common reported reactions are:

pain or swelling at the injection site
feeling tired or fatigued
headache
muscle aches
chills
joint pain
fever
redness at the injection site
nausea.

Uncommon side effects

In the clinical trials, uncommon side effects were reported in every 1 in 100 to 1 in 1,000 people. These include:

enlarged lymph nodes
feeling unwell
pain in limb
insomnia
itching at injection site

1080 – “There was a deathly silence … no birds … I went into the bush with 3 dogs that day & came out with none”

October 5, 2025 Pam Vernon Leave a comment

A New Zealander whose name I have on record, relates a story of his lucky escape from 1080 poisoning during the 1980s. He reflects on how he could have gone the same way as his three dogs all tragically poisoned by 1080 pellets …. one he had to shoot to put out of its misery.

“During the 1980s I was living on a ten acre block bordering native forest and Lake Taupo above the cliffs adjacent to the Waihi waterfall. They put a sign up saying 1080 had been dropped but at that time there were no media explanations about how 1080 worked and they said it was for rats and possums only. I’d never really heard about 1080. I came across a deer that looked like it had just died. It was in prime condition and I was wondering if 1080 worked like cyanide in which case I was going to take some meat home for the table. While I was making up my mind my dog started running around in circles and the blood vessels in his eyes started exploding. There was a deathly silence. No birds nothing. I looked at the deer and it’s eyes were the same as my dog. My dog saved my whole family. That day is emblazoned in my mind and I will never forget it as long as I live. I thought that I had stumbled into hell. I went into the bush with three dogs that day and came out with none. I just didn’t see what happened to the other two.
The emotional anguish I felt that day is right up there with the worst experiences of my unsheltered life. It was decades later that I educated myself totally about 1080 and realized how lucky I was that I never chopped some meat off that deer. We were on rainwater from our roof and our house was meters from the bush edge but they only dropped on the other side of the state highway where there were no buildings.

DOC can say what it likes.

I don’t believe them because I have seen the truth.”

In 2023 the UN Was Calling For The Decriminalization Of Pedophilia, Underage Sex, And Trafficking (seriously)

October 4, 2025 Pam Vernon 2 Comments

From THE WINE PRESS @ substack

I saw/read the beginnings of this away back in around 2012 or thereabouts. Little news items were appearing … to gradually warm you to the acceptance of their hideous proposals. MAPs they call themselves…. Minor Attracted Persons. That’s how it works. Now it’s all out there. Folk should have been outraged but of course 2023 was midstream of the fake pandemic. Same MO as introducing Bills to Parliament right before Christmas when nobody has time or energy to begin making submissions. It is all diabolically clever….and clearly reveals the character and the intent of those who are now obviously intent on ruling over you …+ EWNZ

“With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner.”

The following report was first published on April 17th, 2023, on winepressnews.com.

Last month the United Nations (UN) discreetly published a report that calls for nations to decriminalize sexual relations between adults and minors, opening Pandora’s Box for the normalization of things like pedophilia and pederasty, along with a variety of other sexual-related issues.

Published on March 8th, 2023, UNAIDS – a subdivision within the UN designed to end AIDS disease by 2030, one of the group’s sustainability development goals by 2030 – in collaboration with the International Committee of Jurists (ICJ) and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR); released a document that introduces “a new set of expert jurist legal principles to guide the application of international human rights law to criminal law,” to wit, a new “approach to laws criminalizing conduct in relation to sex, drug use, HIV, sexual and reproductive health, homelessness and poverty.”

Other sponsors include people such as Catalina Botero, Director of the UNESCO Chair of Freedom of Expression; and Fanny Gomez-Lugo, J.D., LL.M., Adjunct Professor of Law at the Jesuit Georgetown University Law Center in the United States, amongst over two dozen more endorsees.

UNAIDS condemns countries that criminalize “sex work” (prostitution and pornography), and seeks to impose new laws that protest “sexual and reproductive health and rights, consensual sexual activity, gender identity, gender expression,” among other things.

UNAIDS wrote in their press release:

In the world of HIV, the abuse and misuse of criminal laws not only affects the right to health, but a multitude of rights including: to be free from discrimination, to housing, security of the person, movement, family, privacy and bodily autonomy, and in extreme cases the very right to life. In countries where sex work is criminalized, for example, sex workers are seven times more likely to be living with HIV than where it is partially legalized.

To be criminalized can also mean being deprived of the protection of the law and law enforcement. And yet, criminalized communities, particularly women, are often more likely to need the very protection they are denied.

UNAIDS Deputy Executive Director for the Policy, Advocacy and Knowledge Branch, Christine Stegling said in a statement:

“I welcome the fact that these principles are being launched on International Women’s Day (IWD), in recognition of the detrimental effects criminal law can, and too often does have on women in all their diversity.

“We will not end AIDS as a public health threat as long as these pernicious laws remain. These principles will be of great use to us and our partners in our endeavors.”

Volker Türk, High Commissioner for Human Rights, added:

“Today is an opportunity for all of us to think about power and male dominated systems.

“I am glad that you have done this work, we need to use it and we need to use it also in a much more political context when it comes precisely to counter these power dynamics.

“Frankly we need to ask these questions and make sure that they are part and parcel going forward as to what human rights means.”

But the United Nations wants to do more than just decriminalize typical sex work, but take things a step further and decriminalize and destigmatize grown adults having sexual relations with a minor, as laid-out in their 32-page document.

For starters, on page 23 under “Principle 11,” the UN says nations need to adopt the following:

No one under the age of 18 may be held criminally liable for any conduct that does not constitute a criminal offence if committed by a person who is 18 or older.

Under “Principle 14,” the UN believes that an individual be not charged for expressing their “sexual and reproductive health,” unless there is a lack of informed consent.

No one may be held criminally liable for providing assistance to another to enable them to exercise their rights to sexual and reproductive health, unless there is coercion, force, or lack of free and informed decision-making in relation to the exercise of such rights.

Parents, guardians, carers, or other persons who enable or assist children or people in their care, including persons with disabilities, to exercise their sexual and reproductive rights, including by procuring sexual and reproductive health services, goods or information, may not be held criminally liable, unless they have engaged in coercion, force, fraud, or there was a lack of free and informed decision-making on the part of the child or person for whom they were caring.

Principle 16, however, is more direct and clearly advises that sexual relations between adults and minors should not be frowned upon. The UN prescribes:

Consensual sexual conduct, irrespective of the type of sexual activity, the sex/ gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression of the people involved or their marital status, may not be criminalized in any circumstances. Consensual same-sex, as well as consensual different-sex sexual relations, or consensual sexual relations with or between trans, non-binary and other genderdiverse people, or outside marriage – whether pre-marital or extramarital – may, therefore, never be criminalized.

With respect to the enforcement of criminal law, any prescribed minimum age of consent to sex must be applied in a non-discriminatory manner. Enforcement may not be linked to the sex/gender of participants or age of consent to marriage.

Moreover, sexual conduct involving persons below the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent to sex may be consensual in fact, if not in law. In this context, the enforcement of criminal law should reflect the rights and capacity of persons under 18 years of age to make decisions about engaging in consensual sexual conduct and their right to be heard in matters concerning them.

Pursuant to their evolving capacities and progressive autonomy, persons under 18 years of age should participate in decisions affecting them, with due regard to their age, maturity and best interests, and with specific attention to non-discrimination guarantees.

A snapshot of the proposal in the document

Proceeding this, Principle 17 also calls for the decriminalize of any and all sex work, “for money, goods or services and communication with another about, advertising an offer for, or sharing premises with another for the purpose of exchanging sexual services between consenting adults for money, goods or services, whether in a public or private place, may not be criminalized, absent coercion, force, abuse of authority or fraud” – which, based on the context and calls for decriminalization of pederasty and pedophilia, could open the door for broader legalization and acceptance of human and child trafficking, in the de-facto sense, if the previous principle 16 and others are to be upheld.

Other globalist groups have been working towards similar agendas in decriminalizing sex work and the age of participants.

Since 2017 the International Planned Parenthood Federation has been seeking to allow commercial sex work for children aged as young as 10, calling age groups “arbitrary.” The IPPF wrote in a document:

The ‘Key Learnings’ section provides guidance on the key knowledge, attitudes and skills expected for individuals under the age of 10, 10-18 years old, and 18-24+.

The age division is arbitrary, as young people’s sexuality, sexual debut, concerns and needs develop in different ways around the globe. However, in general we can say that children’s interests, needs and capacities will change as they start going through puberty around the age of 10. Also, young people’s engagement in decision-making processes and participation in society will transform once they reach the legal age of consent.

An effective CSE programme needs to respond to these changes by adapting the content and learning formats. Member Associations are encouraged to use existing evidence to assess the best age parameters for their local context, ensuring that the evolving capacities of individuals are considered in the delivery of their CSE programmes. The content delivered to specific age groups should not be influenced by personal views on what is acceptable.

Furthermore, in a breakdown concerning the sexual rights of children aged 10 and younger, the IPPF writes: “Sexual activity may be part of different types of relationships, including dating, marriage or commercial sex work, among others;” and, similarly worded to the UN’s recent document, the IPPF added: “Some relationships may involve sexual activity. Sexual activity should always be mediated by consent. This means that each individual agrees, free from any pressure, to engage in intimate relationships.”

The UN and other parties proscribe identical protections for abortions and women’s autonomy, drug dealers and possessors in many contexts, and homeless people trying to stay alive by camping out and congregating in the streets.

All of these principles and more are designed to, they say, combat governments and people that promote and believe, “for example, those proscribing: apostasy; blasphemy; truancy; defamation; libel; propaganda; public nuisance; loitering; vagrancy; immorality; public indecency; same-sex marriage; the promotion of homosexuality; obscenity and sexual speech; certain kinds of pornography; non-exploitative surrogacy; certain harmful practices; migration-related infractions; the provision of humanitarian assistance; acts of solidarity; and certain types of civil disobedience,” the UN writes.

Recently a new show has begun airing on mainstream British television that features grown adults and transgenders that have undergone surgery, strip naked and flash their bodies in front of children and teenagers, in a claim to teach them more about the body and to be comfortable with it and with others. A show echoing this was also released in The Netherlands just a few weeks prior, reported by The WinePress.

Raising NZ’s GST? … It’s high time politicians pulled in THEIR belts

October 4, 2025 Pam Vernon Leave a comment

“It’s quick…but it’s much harder on low-income people”… says a tax expert … really?

It’s not rocket science! With another round of taxing the poor down under, the guinea pig nation is set for another milking. Milking the poor that is. GST should never have been on food in the first place.

These pariahs are proposing a 32% rise! And blaming of course, the ageing population. They forget of course, how it is they got here. “Treasury said the country’s policies were not sustainable for the long term.” (There’s that word again … ‘sustainable’). Well, I’ll tell you what’s not sustainable. Politician’s perks! . And their salaries could do with downsizing as well. They now have their own private (no public allowed) pub at Parliament, all built on tax payer funding. It’s called Pint of Order no less. And don’t be thinking you’ll ever find out how much you paid for that.

Luxon is claiming a $54,000 accommodation allowance whilst living in his mortgage free apartment in Wellington! Along with some MPs claiming their $36,400 as well. Luxon is collecting a $471,049 salary!

The Post reports that “At least 20 MPs are claiming up to $45,000 a year allowance to stay in their own Wellington homes, a perk that sees the taxpayer help politicians pay off their mortgages.”

Did you know by the way, that 112,496 people are homeless in NZ? The NZ Herald reported in 2024 that NZ is among the world’s worst developed countries for homelessness.

It’s time that politicians pulled in their belts. Instead of exhorting the lower-income folk to.

Why are there high concentrations of Aluminum, Barium and Strontium in New Zealand’s rainwater?

October 2, 2025 Pam Vernon 2 Comments

Reposting some of the older material that is still relevant today, perhaps moreso in light of the global pollution we now have .. EWNZ

Here is a video by South Canterbury Skywatch (NZ). Rainwater analyses world wide, it’s been found, have high concentrations of Aluminium, Barium, Strontium and even Titanium. Alarmingly, these high concentrations are also being found in New Zealand’s rainwater. These three elements have also been found in the fallout from weather modification programs (aka chemtrails), so they are in the air we breathe. And, as is pointed out in this video ‘we were not designed to breathe these materials’. Their presence in our water is not a natural occurrence. Soil Biologist Frances Mangels tells us there should be no heavy metals in rainwater. Mangels has been investigating the cumulative effects of these metals on animal and plant life at Mt Shasta California. In this video you will hear Mangels speak. Do pause and consider:

“… we were not designed to breathe these materials …”

Aluminum has been scientifically linked with Alzheimer’s Disease. “Aluminum has been long known to be neurotoxic, with mounting evidence that chronic exposure is a factor in many neurological diseases, including dementia, autism, and Parkinson’s disease.” Dr Mercola

And Barium? “Ingesting large amounts of barium can cause changes in heart rhythm, paralysis and possibly death.”

Here is a list from StopSprayingCalifornia.com outlining all the other ingredients found present in chemtrails from independent testing:

Aluminum Oxide Particles, Arsenic, Bacilli and Molds, Barium Salts, Barium Titanates, Cadmium, Calcium, Chromium, Desiccated Human Red Blood Cells, Ethylene Dibromide, Enterobacter Cloacal, Enterobacteriaceae, Human white Blood Cells-A (restrictor enzyme used in research labs to snip and combine DNA), Lead, Mercury, Methyl Aluminum, Mold Spores, Mycoplasma, Nano-Aluminum-Coated Fiberglass, Nitrogen Trifluoride, Known as CHAFF), Nickel, Polymer Fibers, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa, Pseudomonas Florescens, Radioactive Cesium, Radio Active Thorium, Selenium, Serratia Marcscens, Sharp Titanium Shards, Silver, Streptomyces, Stronthium, Sub-Micron Particles, (Containing Live Biological Matter), Unidentified Bacteria, Uranium, Yellow Fungal Mycotoxins

If you think geoengineering aka chemtrails are a hoax, the practice of weather modification has in fact been in motion for more than 60 years and is very well documented (ClimateViewer.com). Just not covered or acknowledged by mainstream media, or our governments. It is covert, however on top of all the scientific evidence now of soil and water contamination, there are also many whistleblowers who have exposed the practice.

Two scientists who reviewed more than 100 of DoC’s scientific papers say: “There’s no credible scientific evidence showing any species of native bird benefits from 1080 drops”

February 15, 2025 Pam Vernon 2 Comments

Time for a repost of this article from 2007, as the drops continue, in spite of the clear scientific evidence it is not beneficial to our ecosystem.

“We have audited Department of Conservation scientific research and produced an 88-page monograph reviewing more than 100 scientific papers.

The results are startling and belie most of the department’s claims.

First, there is no credible scientific evidence showing that any species of native bird benefits from the dropping of tonnes of 1080 into our forest ecosystems
Second, considerable evidence exists that DoC’s aerial 1080 operations are doing serious harm“Quinn and Patricia Whiting-O’Keefe

Scientists, Quinn and Patricia Whiting-O’Keefe: “Poison facts belie the claims”

NZ drops into its forests about 4,000 KG of pure 1080 per year, enough to kill 20 million people [Photo: Clyde Graf, from a 1080 drop at Makarora]

There is now a familiar litany of scientifically insupportable claims about what great things aerial 1080, a universal poison, is doing for our forest ecosystems. The people of New Zealand have a right to know the truth about what the scientific evidence shows.

We have audited Department of Conservation scientific research and produced an 88-page monograph reviewing more than 100 scientific papers.

The results are startling and belie most of the department’s claims.

Copy of kepler track.jpg — The oxymoron that DOC’s signage is

First, there is no credible scientific evidence showing that any species of native bird benefits from the dropping of tonnes of 1080 into our forest ecosystems, as claimed by the department and Kevin Hackwell. There is certainly no evidence of net ecosystem benefit.

fwdfwdockills7outof9kea7 — 1080 is killing large numbers of native species

We have repeatedly challenged DoC and Mr Hackwell, a representative of the Forest and Bird Society, to come forward with the hard scientific evidence for their “dead forest” claims. They have not.

Second, considerable evidence exists that DoC’s aerial 1080 operations are doing serious harm, as one would expect, given that 1080 is toxic to all animals. It kills large numbers of native species of birds, invertebrates and bats.

Moreover, most native species are completely unstudied. In addition considerable evidence shows there are chronic and sublethal effects to vertebrate endocrine and reproductive systems, possibly including those of humans.

Considerable evidence demonstrates that DoC’s aerial 1080 operations are doing serious harm. Photos: Upper (Tomtit in hand) by Clyde Graf
Lower (multiple dead birds) by Jim Hilton:
Dead birds found over a few acres, after 270,000 hectare aerial 1080 poison drop, Kahurangi National Park, 2014. This was the first year of DoC’s “Battle for our Birds” drops.

Third, DoC claims that one can drop food laced with 1080, a universal poison (World Health Organisation classification “1A extremely hazardous”) indiscriminately into a semi-tropical forest ecosystem and only negatively affect one or two target “pest” species. That is counterintuitive and scientifically improbable.

Fourth, as far as we can determine no other country in the world is doing (or has ever done) anything remotely similar – mass poisoning of a semi-tropical ecosystem on the scale that the department is now doing to ours.

Fifth, and perhaps most disturbing, is that what the department-sponsored research shows has been habitually misrepresented – entirely unjustifiable assertions regarding 1080’s benefits and lack of harm.

Statements like those of Mr Hackwell that the forests will be “dead” without poisoning them with 1080, and from John McLennan (Landcare Research) and Al Morrison (then Director General of DoC) that 1080 is existentially necessary to Kiwis is pure demagoguery and scientific nonsense.

What is at risk by continuation of this extraordinary practice – and it is unique in the world – is the ecological integrity of our forest ecosystems, our reputation as an environmentally sane and responsible country, and our existence as a society in which reason and rationality can triumph over bureaucratic prerogative and budgetary gain.

Since Galileo Galilee first discovered the moons of Jupiter in the 17th century, the way to resolve this kind of disagreement has been to do the experiment and examine the evidence, and that is precisely what we urge everyone to do.

Don’t believe DoC. Don’t believe Mr Hackwell. Don’t believe us – believe the evidence. To that end we will provide a copy of our report and the source scientific research papers to all who would like to read them.

News, Treaty of Waitangi

The day the Treaty was first signed at Waitangi: exploring the differences in the English & te reo Māori versions (Claudia Orange)

February 6, 2025 Pam Vernon

For the info of international readers… today is Waitangi Day in NZ, the anniversary of the signing in 1840 of the Treaty of Waitangi, now a public holiday here. There’s much controversy currently going on nation wide regarding the absence of PM Luxon at Waitangi this week (hmmm)… although denying it, it’s likely due to the Treaty Principles Bill currently before Parliament. Says he won’t approve it but allowed its introduction? And we have David Seymour present who is currently trying to change the said Treaty with his Bill, without any input from or consultation with the Crown’s signatories/partners … Māori. Smell a rat? I personally am with the deductions made by Australia’s Dr Jeremy Walker regarding Seymour’s connections to the Atlas Network.

And his proposed bill, it’s all having the desired effect, inciting racial division which, after all, has always been the ace card of empires.

He’s not being well received and IMHO rightly so. Plenty of coverage of the day on Youtube anyway if you’re curious to learn more, here’s one … and Claudia Orange here in her book excerpt explains the Treaty versions in both languages. EWNZ

From 2021, by Newsroom
Featuring an excerpt from Claudia Orange’s book The Treaty of Waitangi / Te Tiriti o Waitangi: An Illustrated History

Governor William Hobson was caught by surprise. Summoned ashore late in the morning of February 6, he arrived in plain clothes but having snatched up his plumed hat. Several hundred Māori were waiting for him in the marquee, and several hundred others stood around outside. Many had arrived since the meeting the previous day, including some high-ranking women. Only James Busby and about a dozen Europeans had turned up, among them the Catholic Bishop Pompallier. Hobson, nervous and uneasy, more than once expressed concern that the meeting could not be considered a “regular public meeting” since the proper notice had not been given. He would not allow discussion, but would be prepared to take signatures.

On the table lay a tidily written treaty in te reo Māori – Te Tiriti o Waitangi – copied overnight on parchment by one of the missionaries, Richard Taylor. Rangatira were invited to come forward and sign. Just as Hone Heke was about to do so, William Colenso asked Hobson if he thought that the chiefs really understood what they were signing. “If the Native chiefs do not know the contents of this treaty it is no fault of mine,” replied Hobson. “I have done all that I could . . . They have heard the treaty read by Mr. Williams.”

Colenso agreed, but pointed out that it had not been explained adequately; he was afraid that they had not been made fully aware of the situation in which they would by their so signing be placed. Later the chiefs would hold the missionaries accountable, whereas their agreement needed to be “their very own act and deed”. Impatiently, Hobson brushed the protest aside, saying, “I think that the people under your care will be peaceable enough: I’m sure you will endeavour to make them so.”

The signing went ahead, while two rangatira kept up a running challenge in the traditional manner. Busby called each rangatira by name, probably from a list of those who had signed the 1835 Declaration of Independence. When each had signed, Hobson shook his hand, saying “He iwi tahi tātou.” According to Colenso this meant “We are [now] one people”, but Felton Mathew thought it meant “We are brethren and countrymen.” The expression greatly pleased the rangatira, who also shook hands with each of the official party; it was probably either Williams or Busby who told Hobson to express himself in this way. Both men must have known that the words would have a special meaning, especially for those who were Christian: Māori and British would be linked, under the guardianship of the Queen and as followers of Christ.

That afternoon, over 40 rangatira put their names or their moko on the parchment, afﬁrming the agreement known as the Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi. As the signing was drawing to an end, someone gave a signal for three thundering cheers for the Governor and Queen Wikitoria (Victoria). Patuone presented Hobson with a greenstone mere “expressly” for the Queen, and the meeting closed with Hobson retiring to the Herald, taking Patuone with him to dine. Colenso was left to distribute gifts – two blankets and some tobacco – to each person who had signed.

Several hundred New Zealand Company settlers had arrived in the Cook Strait region in January and February 1840. In March they had set up a form of government at Port Nicholson (Wellington) which, they claimed, derived its legality from authority granted by the local “sovereign chiefs”. The ﬂag of an independent New Zealand, made on the company’s ship Tory, ﬂew above the settlement, and a provisional constitution had been drawn up.

The chiefs at the left of this lithograph from the 1840s are Mananui Te Heuheu and his brother Iwikau. Mananui objected to Iwikau’s signing the Treaty. To the right is Apihai Te Kawau, who invited Hobson to set up his capital in Auckland. The image is taken from the Illustrated History by Claudia Orange.

Hearing of these moves, Hobson reasoned that the settlers were assuming powers of government that were the prerogative of the Crown. On May 21, he proclaimed sovereignty over the whole of the country: over the North Island on the basis of cession by chiefs who had signed the Treaty of Waitangi, and over the South Island and Stewart Island on the basis that Cook had “discovered” them. At this stage, Hobson held only the copy of Te Tiriti signed in the north, and one signed at Waikato Heads and Manukau Harbour. As for the South Island, he doubted that its “uncivilised” Māori were capable of signing any treaty. He had taken measures he deemed necessary under the circumstances, using Cook’s “discovery”, which his instructions had allowed him to use, if necessary.

Unaware of Hobson’s actions, Bunbury also proclaimed sovereignty: on June 5 at Stewart Island, by right of Cook’s discovery; and on June 17 at Cloudy Bay, by right of cession of the South Island by several ‘independent’ chiefs. The Colonial Office approved Hobson’s proclamations, which were published in the London Gazette on October 2, 1840. This was the only requirement at the time to validate sovereignty being acquired. Treaty meetings had continued after the proclamations; on September 3, the last signature was put on a copy of Te Tiriti, somewhere near Kāwhia, the copy not arriving back to Hobson until April 1841. 542 rangatira, among them 12 or more women of rank, had signed at about 50 meetings.

The differences between the two texts were crucial to a full Māori understanding – or the lack of it

Hobson had kept British officials informed throughout the signing process and had sent them copies of the Treaty. In October, he dispatched a final report, together with ‘certified’ copies of Te Tiriti and one English Treaty copy which was headed ‘translation’. He said nothing about any variations between the two texts, although it had already become apparent in April that there were differences in meaning, and therefore in Māori understanding of what they had agreed to. Hobson was aware of this.

The differences that affected the meaning were important:

ARTICLE 1
By the Treaty in English, Māori leaders gave the Queen “absolutely and without reservation all the rights and powers of Sovereignty which the said Confederation or Individual Chiefs respectively exercise or possess . . . over their respective Territories as the sole sovereigns thereof.”

By Te Tiriti in te reo, they gave the Queen “te Kawanatanga katoa o ratou wenua” – the governance or government of their land.

ARTICLE 2
By the Treaty in English, Māori leaders and people, collectively and individually, were conﬁrmed in and guaranteed “the full exclusive and undisturbed possession of their Lands and Estates, Forests, Fisheries, and other properties . . . so long as it is their wish and desire to retain the same in their possession.”

By Te Tiriti in te reo, they were conﬁrmed and guaranteed “te tino Rangatiratanga o o ratou wenua o ratou kainga me o ratou taonga katoa” – the unqualiﬁed exercise of their chieftainship – over their lands, settlements, and all their valued possessions.

ARTICLE 3
The Treaty in English extended to Māori the Queen’s “royal protection and imparts to them all the Rights and Privileges of British Subjects.”

By Te Tiriti in te reo, in consideration of the agreement to the government of the Queen, the rights and privileges of British subjects – “nga tikanga katoa rite tahi ki ana mea ki nga tangata o Ingarani” – were extended to all the Māori of New Zealand.

The differences between the two texts were crucial to a full Māori understanding – or the lack of it. Only 39 chiefs signed a copy of the Treaty in English, which almost certainly had a copy of the printed Tiriti in te reo with it to enable the missionary at Waikato Heads to read it to Māori. Apart from that, all Māori leaders signed a copy of the Māori language Tiriti, which did not convey the full meaning of the English text, especially the extent of sovereign powers. Only some would have been able to read Te Tiriti, even if they had been given the chance. Explanations at meetings with potential signatories might have helped, given that discussion was essential to Māori in the customary building of relationships; but the records that exist show negotiators did not comment on differences in meaning. Their aim was to secure rangatira agreement. The complexities of sovereignty, as they were increasingly being recognised under international law, were not brought up.

Thus the differences between the Māori and English texts laid the basis for different British (and later colonial) and Māori understandings of the agreement, and for the debate over interpretation that was to continue.

This is an edited extract from the newly published The Treaty of Waitangi / Te Tiriti o Waitangi: An Illustrated History by Claudia Orange (Bridget Williams Books, $39.99 ) available in bookstores nationwide.

Harvard Professor Exposes Google & Facebook & NZ Police Trialled Facial Recognition Tech Without Clearance

January 22, 2025 Pam Vernon Leave a comment

Excellent informative article from wakeupkiwi.com. I’ve added a PS regarding a short online class for this Thursday 23 January about protecting yourself. It arrived in my inbox today… EWNZ

From WakeUpKiwi

In recent years, a number of brave individuals have alerted us to the fact that we’re all being monitored and manipulated by big data gatherers such as Google and Facebook, and shed light on the depth and breadth of this ongoing surveillance.

Among them is social psychologist and Harvard professor Shoshana Zuboff.

POSTSCRIPT:

This came in my email today and because it relates to this post, I’m adding it in the event folk may wish to register and learn. Here is the intro & a link (from Glen Meder) :

We as a species have reached an important crossroads:

Are we going to use modern technology to…

Enslave and control humans in ways never before imaginable…

OR
Become the most powerful, and free, decentralized society ever…

It sounds like a silly question, I mean, I bet I could already guess what you would choose.

But unfortunately, most people do not realize that they are making this choice every day! (And even worse, they are making the WRONG choice every day.)

You see, the power-seekers are placing us in a walled garden of surveillance technology.

Your new smartphone? Your work laptop? Your smart tv? They are all spying on you.

Sometimes people are shocked when I tell them that Facebook, Google, and other Big Tech companies are spying on them. This shows me that a lot of people are still completely unaware of what’s really going on…

In the Totalitarian Surveillance State, there are 4 Stages of Control…

1. AI Algorithms, Censorship, and Propaganda

Google, Facebook, and almost every Big Tech company censors information. Even worse than that, they spread state-approved propaganda through their platforms. It’s like going to a library that only allows information on one-side of an opinion. But what’s worse is that this library knows everything about you, including your hot buttons and how to manipulate you.

2. Digital IDs

Digital IDs will completely eliminate online privacy. With Digital IDs in place, we will be forced to identify ourselves before using anything that is connected to the internet. It would be similar to having an account to an online service, like Netflix. To access the internet, you would have to verify that it is actually you using the internet, and not someone else.

3. Central Bank Digital Currencies

With a Central Bank Digital Currency in place, there would be no financial privacy. Every transaction you make would be tracked. CBDCs are much more than financial tracking tools though, they are specifically designed to punish and control any “opposition”. This was proven when Justin Trudeau froze the bank accounts of peaceful protesters in 2022. With a CBDC, the Government could “seize” all of your assets with the click of a button.

4. Social Credit Systems

Finally, a Social Credit System is the fourth stage of control. Every action you take will be judged and determined as good or bad. Who defines good or bad? The person who controls the social credit system. Any opposition will be punished to the fullest extent. If you fall far enough on a social credit system, then you will be blacklisted. This punishment can extend to house arrest. As well as social, geographical, and financial isolation.

As you read this message, the pieces of this system are being put in place.

But… I don’t want you to be scared. My mission is not to scare people, or fearmonger, instead, I want you to be aware of what is going on that way you have the right to consent.

The right to stand up and say that you will not accept this future, and the right to protect your privacy and freedom for our future generations to come.

I am holding a class, this Thursday at 11am CT (12pm ET / 10am MT / 9am PT) titled “The End of Privacy? Understanding the Globalist Agenda”.

In the class, we will cover the 4 stages I mentioned in this email, as well as actionable steps that you can take today to ensure your privacy and freedom today.

You can register to attend the class here.

I really hope to see you in the class.

It is a very important one.

Thank you!

Coming Soon to a Country Near You: Canadian Government Is Euthanizing Mentally Ill and Disabled Citizens: ‘It’s EUGENICS’

January 22, 2025 Pam Vernon 3 Comments

Watch for the Liverpool Care Pathway also. Nil by mouth often without telling the patient’s family. I am aware from feedback and my own observations that the ‘protocol’ if you could call it that, is used here in NZ. It’s been said it’s no longer used . It is a forerunner I’d guess to what’s happening now. Dr Vernon Coleman has also warned us what is coming along the lines of euthanasia. EWNZ

By Frank Bergman @ Slay News
via Exposing the Darkness

A prominent expert is warning the public that the Canadian government is now euthanizing mentally ill and disabled citizens as part of a “eugenics” agenda that has been thinly disguised as “assisted suicide.”

The chilling warning was issued by Kelsi Sheren, a military veteran-turned-anti-euthanasia activist.

Specifically, Sheren is sounding the alarm about Canada’s taxpayer-funded Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program.

During a whistleblowing new interview with Triggernometry, Sheren said:

“MAiD is medical assistance in dying, but let’s call it what it is.

“It’s eugenics. It’s not MAiD. It’s eugenics.

“And the reason I say that so emphatically is because the statistics around who is using medical assistance and dying versus who is being euthanized are radically different.”

MAiD was originally launched by the Canadian government in 2016 to help terminally ill patients end their suffering.

However, Sheren is among several experts warning that MAiD has morphed into something more sinister.

The “assisted suicide” program has now become a system that increasingly targets people with mental health challenges, disabilities, and other non-terminal conditions.

Essentially, the citizens targeted for euthanasia are those requiring long-term care who are considered a burden on Canada’s taxpayer-funded socialized healthcare system.

“We had a girl in British Columbia last year… walked into Vancouver hospital,” Sheren continues.

“She was suicidal…

“She was met by the doctors who told her she couldn’t see psychiatrists for six months…

“And then she was then sat down while the nurse put her hand on her knee and said, ‘Have you heard of MAID?’ to a vulnerable person who just expressed that she was suicidal.”

Sheren asserts that this practice is the same eugenics program pioneered by the Nazis.

The controversial historical practice aims to “improve” society by controlling who gets to live or reproduce.

Eugenics was even popular among American progressives until it became taboo following World War Two.

“This is a movement to remove the vulnerable, disabled, liabilities, burdens on society, full stop,” Sheren notes.

“That’s what this is,” she emphasizes.

“This is not compassion and care dying with dignity or empathy.

“This is, let’s remove the problems from society.”

“We are turning healthcare practitioners who went into the practice to help people,” Sheren adds.

“We are turning them into everyday serial killers.

“And there is a moral issue to that, that those doctors, those family members, were not like, not ready, not trained to handle at all.”

Expert Warns Canadian Government Is Euthanizing Mentally Ill and Disabled Citizens: ‘It’s Eugenics’

In recent years, Canada’s liberal government has expanded the euthanasia laws to include people who might be struggling with depression, anxiety, or other treatable conditions.

“Today we bring you an urgent warning for all inhabitants of planet Earth. It’s not just the fires. We must stop the deliberate climate engineering / geoengineering / weather weaponization destruction of our biosphere or we all perish.

If we do not stop these planet-destroying schemes, farms will fail, crop yields will plummet and much of humanity will starve. This will lead to revolts, revolutions, violence and financial collapse.

This seems to be precisely what the globalists want to achieve. They are pushing mass human extermination to make way for the robots. And in today’s broadcast, we feature a clip of a WEF speaker who admits all this right on camera.” Mike Adams

A similar warning comes from Prof Mark Crispin Miller (NY Uni):

Don’t “vaccination,” and the Blitzkrieg that incinerated all Pacific Palisades, PROVE that we are in the hands of psychopaths? You better believe it.

“Those who literally CAN’T BELIEVE what the authorities have done to them and all the rest of us had better wake up fast, because their self-protective blindness has us all at risk”

The authors of the worst atrocities in modern history have always grasped the chilling paradox that they were largely shielded from exposure by the very heinousness of what they’d done, and/or what they were doing. In other words, the perpetrators were, and are, protected from exposure not so much by mass indifference (although that, surely, is a factor) as by mass incredulity—a sort of sentimental chauvinism, shielding us from guilty knowledge (and, therefore, complicity) by the authoritarian conviction that those in power on our side certainly would never do such things, whereas the Enemy (of course) does little else.

The maintenance of that mass delusion has required two strategies, one practical, one psychological.

CBDC: The End of Money: watch the film

With CBDCs, your money can be switched off altogether

From Doreen Agostino
Our Greater Destiny Blog

This film is a warning to the world.

Disclaimer

I personally do not advocate any process or procedure contained in any of my Blogs. Information presented here is not intended to provide legal or lawful advice, nor medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, cure, or prevent any disease. Views expressed are for educational purposes only.

Key points

A new comprehensive film on CBDCs, origins of Bitcoin and the tokenization of all assets worldwide.

Almost every central bank in the world is currently rolling out a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). These are programmable versions of our current national currencies that can restrict what goods you can buy and where you can buy them. With CBDCs, your money can be switched off altogether.

CBDC is about total control

CBDCs represent not only a fundamental revolution in our system of money, but also a devolution or degradation of money. At its core, money has four fundamental characteristics: it is transportable, divisible, readily acceptable, and it is a store of value. CBDCs eliminate two of these attributes. For if money can be programmed as to how and where it can be used by a central authority, it is no longer readily acceptable. And if it can be turned off or lose its value within a certain time period—something several central banks have openly proposed to encourage spending UNCLEAR—it ceases to be a store of value.

Who is driving this effort?

And what is their relationship to other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, digital IDs, and the tokenization of all assets worldwide? Continue at https://bigpicture.watch/cbdc-the-end-of-money/

Lawyers who work for Government: how NZ School Boards fired unjabbed teachers

December 26, 2024 Pam Vernon 6 Comments

From Ursula Edgington, PhD

Unstitching what happened to the New Zealand teachers who were sacked as a result of the NZ COVID-19 Public Health Response (Vaccinations) Order 2021 is proving a long and depressing task. But it is essential. This post continues the conversation about what went on behind the scenes when, on Nov 15th 2021, Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins declared all teaching staff should be ‘vaccinated’.

Brief Background to the NZ ‘No Jab, No Job’ Mandates:

I’ve explained previously about how the NZ Government secretly worked with the biggest commercial companies behind the scenes during August and Sept 2021. The ‘pilot scheme’ took place over 6 weeks and involved analysing various coercive strategies, or ‘nudges’, in order to get the maximum numbers of Kiwi folk compliant with the experimental injections. The subsequent ‘staff consultation period’ then, was a sham…

The real reason they are culling your animals – it’s multi layered

December 23, 2024 Pam Vernon 5 Comments

Just this week the UK Telegraph has been warning us of the next possible plandemic, with their eye this time on your pet cat that might be putting us all in danger:

Experts have long regarded pigs as one of the greatest zoonotic threats to public health because their cells allow viruses to mix and mutate, creating new strains capable of causing human pandemics. This is how the 2008/09 H1N1 swine flu pandemic started and it is suspected that pigs in Haskell country, Kansas may have triggered the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic which is estimated to have killed between 50 and 100 million people. Now a new study suggests that pet cats could be just as dangerous – and could provide the bridge that allows H5N1 bird flu to mutate and jump to humans.

We should be very afraid and be looking to getting rid of our pets, or so they’d have us believe. Meanwhile the Guardian is hyping it up by warning all pregnant women who contract bird flu will die!

They’ve actually been targeting cats in NZ and elsewhere for some time now.

NZ’s Tokoroa is hiring a shooter to cull feral cats – watch out for your cat
1080 to be used by Aussie govt to kill 2 million feral cats using aerially dropped 1080-laced sausages

We’ve also been targeting possums, deer, birds, rabbits, tahr and other animals considered by our conservation authorities to be pests. They even reward children these days for their efforts in killing them.Then there’s the NZ poultry farm in the South Island that recently had to have its birds culled to the tune of 80,000 plus.

Predator free 2050 – creating a generation who ‘find killing animals weirdly addictive’

In NZ here we have Pest Free NZ (PFNZ). It fuels the production of 1080 poison a lucrative business. Here begins the unravelling.

The poison 1080 is a deadly poison NZ uses with impunity (has done for 60+ years) claiming it is harmless, breaks down in water and targets pests… it doesn’t. It is a very dangerous poison and Doctors are deterred from reporting 1080 poisoning of humans as one MD found out following the death of a hiker that he reported in 2006. The NZ lab lost her heart!

Two scientists who reviewed more than 100 of DoC’s scientific papers say: “There’s no credible scientific evidence showing any species of native bird benefits from 1080 drops”

(To learn more about NZ’s favourite poison go here and here. Particularly informative is the Graf Boys’ award winning doco called ‘Poisoning Paradise’. Also, find ‘1080 poison’ in the categories drop down box, top left of page, here.)

To throw some light on all of this seemingly senseless culling and the endless hype about yet another ‘flu’ strain that looms ready to kill us all, I draw your attention to an excellent article by Jenese James written in 2018. She uncovers the underlying agenda to much of this.

Jenese describes NZ’s Pest Free agenda in her article, Who is driving PFNZ?:

There is much more to this story that you can research yourself but the core thing here is that NZ is part of a much bigger extremist idea under the guise of protecting biodiversity – or purism as I call it – where everything and anything non native and not productive to human use will be destroyed

What is driving the Pest Free NZ Agenda and the hysteria in eradicating non native species. Answer – International agreements and a global agenda [Agenda 21, 2030] to purge all non native species of animals and plants around the world…

All over the world the word has gone out that all creatures great and small that are not indigenous to that land will be terminated. Its not just New Zealand..

So in the mix of the plandemic threats from lamestream, and the culling of both wild and pet animals, you will see what is really afoot. Do read the whole article.

The plandemic of course kills (pun intended) more than one bird with one stone. They get the next human cull with the new speedily produced, untested, EUA jab designed for whatever deadly disease presents itself (especially targeting those ‘miscreants’ who declined the first one) and they eradicate all of the food sources you may draw on in the coming famine that they will have created by destroying farmers, Bill Gates is hogging all the farm land, promoting fake meat production and targeting all good food like raw milk and home gardens. NZ is currently working on the GM front to feed us unlabeled GM poison without even consulting us. We’ve gotten used to that.

Food Supply Shutdown: Deer, fish, pigs euthanized; crops not planted

On reflection they are actually killing three birds with that one stone. It’s long been rumoured that another long term agenda the poisoners have is that of clearing the environment for mining. You can read about that in the following two articles which go into the purpose of all those recent man made disasters we’re now seeing world wide. It is all interrelated! One of the purposes of those is land grab:

Hawke’s Bay is apparently in need of a ‘managed retreat’: Agenda 2030 and the depopulation of the East Coast

Hawke’s Bay’s ‘managed retreat’ Part 2: Agenda 2030, the depopulation of certain NZ areas & the 1080-mining link

So it’s multi purpose, multi layered rape and pillage by the corporates. All cleverly hidden ‘behind the green mask’, to quote Rosa Koire.

UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development is the action plan implemented worldwide to inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world. INVENTORY AND CONTROL.—-Rosa Koire

Which leads us to the recent revelations about David Seymour’s corporate links to the Atlas Network. You can learn about that here.
In more ways than one it is also ‘cui bono?’

They wish to deceive we the public into thinking they have our best interests at heart. Saving native species, saving us from so called man made global warming by herding us into 15 minute ‘smart’ cities, ensuring we own nothing and are happy.

Fortunately folk have woken up to the agenda & are pushing back.

More on David Seymour’s links to the Atlas Network – from ‘conspiracy’ to fact ?

December 23, 2024 Pam Vernon 3 Comments

“Whether we’re fighting for Te Tiriti or against new coal mines, for tax reform and fair pay, to protect Te Taiao or even just to keep NZ’s stop-smoking programme on track – we all face the same well-funded and well-organised ideological opposition”.

Further to our previous article revealing David Seymour’s links to the Atlas Network, I came across this one recently at Substack by Torfrida Orme (posted at Tapatahi Substack) and was intrigued to see Seymour’s Waitangi 2024 interview with Mihingarangi Forbes. It’s earlier on in the piece with relation to the Treaty Principles Bill, soon after it was introduced.

In it he shifts uncomfortably when asked ‘does the Act Party have any links to the Atlas Network?’ (@ 13 mins this topic begins)

He replies ‘no’, but resorts to the now time-worn and fizzled go-to … ‘conspiracy theory’. Trying unsuccessfully to heap shame on Mihingarangi for descending to such ‘low quality’ information, casting aspersions upon her journalistic ability. Her ability IMO towers well above today’s lamestream endeavours.

Seymour’s own links to Atlas are easily-verifiable by his historical job stints at two Canadian Atlas-affiliated think tanks.

He is clearly there on page 6 of Atlas’s own review document of 2008.

Why is seeing Seymour’s links important now?

Because we appear to have a repeat scenario such as happened in Australia, particularly with regard to the Treaty Principles Bill here and Aussie’s referendum with respect to an indigenous voice in Parliament. (Video links all in the article). Rather than promoting equality for all, it is becoming more apparent that he really is inciting racial division. Going by the Aussie playbook at least. Race is another time-worn tactic. It is the ace card of those who seek to divide and rule. It’s how GB retained control over so many millions in India for so long.

“In all our varied campaigns we are up against the same powerful groups trying to keep hold of their resources. It’s in their interest that we are fragmented.”

The last thing these corporate pariahs want is environmentalists messing up their mining plans. Isn’t it all making sense now?

The article below by Torfrida Orme is a must read IMO.

Remember (quote):

“we all face the same well-funded and well-organised ideological opposition”.

ATLAS – how a right-wing global network is building influence in Aotearoa

Over the last six months it’s become so much clearer what we’re up against.

Whether we’re fighting for Te Tiriti or against new coal mines, for tax reform and fair pay, to protect Te Taiao or even just to keep NZ’s stop-smoking programme on track – we all face the same well-funded and well-organised ideological opposition.

As we plunge into fight-back, it’s worth spending some time to find out more about this opposition, why it seems to have appeared now and how it functions.

NOTE:

There are some aspects of the source article we don’t agree with however the main thrust is Seymour’s links to Atlas and their agenda. Re climate change. We do recognize there is a change in climate however who is behind that, in our opinion, is not you & I and our alleged use of ‘fossil fuels’, rather it is the well documented practice of weather modification. (Read Elana Freeland’s books on topic and if you can’t do that at least visit our geoengineering pages, main menu). See also Sen Malcolm Roberts exposé. The other aspect I have reservations about is the Fabian Socialists. Barry Smith spoke often of them (including the Mont Pelerin Society). Their original logo is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Read more here. It is quite a web we have to negotiate to get to the truth of things, even moreso in the past few years. There will always be differences of opinion and it’s best we don’t play into the hands of those who seek to maintain rule over us, by building walls in response to their divisive tactics. Rather we need, now more than ever, to put aside those differences (agree to disagree) and unite. They are a few thousand, we are a few billion. They are culling us and intend to continue. EWNZ

The undemocratic transition to a global, authoritarian political system called Stakeholder Capitalism explained (must see)

December 22, 2024 Pam Vernon Leave a comment

From Yellow.Forum via Wirral In It Together

IMO a must see. A not too long doco style presentation of just how Schwab operates & what he has in view for all useless eaters. Not what he calls us openly but we know that’s how we’re classified hence the drive for depop. These characters have infiltrated all govts (corporations in actuality) and they mean for us to own nothing, parading that concept as being inclusive… sharing is caring and all that. Nothing could be further from the truth … it is communism in new garb. Make no mistake, it is tyrannical and evil.. EWNZ

Listen at the LINK

Description
Stakeholder Capitalism is an investigative documentary series about our undemocratic transition away from free-market capitalism to a global, authoritarian political system called Stakeholder Capitalism. Enacted in 2020, Stakeholder Capitalism replaces both Shareholder Capitalism (free-market) and State Capitalism (communism) with a single, universal system that is governed by the World Economic Forum’s exclusive elite members, including the presidents of Russia and China.

In the first episode ‘Our New Political System’, former TV producer and tech entrepreneur, Richard Jeffs, discovers what Stakeholder Capitalism is and how its Inclusive and Sustainable policies are changing our society. Richard also investigates how the ESG corporate credit score forces us to adopt Stakeholder Capitalism.

Analysis of Misinformation in the Gene Technology Bill and Suggestions for Submissions and Discussions (Hatchard)

December 22, 2024 Pam Vernon Leave a comment

By Guy Hatchard

This article is also available as a PDF to download, print, and share.

Alarming Developments in Australia Following Their Gene Deregulation

To win the debate about the Gene Technology Bill, we have to expose the unscientific and misleading claims being parroted by politicians to gain public acceptance of an egregious takeover of our food choices and medical rights.

To do so, we have to not only make clear submissions to the Health Select Committee. But more importantly, persuade our friends, colleagues and contacts of the potential impact and the need for action.

Our task is made clear by a comment from David Farrar, prolific National supporter and Kiwiblogger-in-chief, that needs deconstructing and examination for misinformation. He quotes Judith Collins speaking at the first reading of the Bill as follows:

“Our current regulations for genetically modified organisms are some of the most backward looking in the world. New Zealand has lagged behind other countries, such as Australia, Canada, and England, which have safely embraced these technologies for the benefit of their people and their economies.

“Despite gene technologies having been in use in New Zealand since the 1970s, the restrictive rules and time-consuming processes we have imposed on researchers have made testing and embracing innovation outside the lab all but impossible. But no more. This Government has listened to our research, primary industry, and medical communities and the frustrations that they have felt over many years. Today, New Zealand moves into the present with a safe enabling regulatory regime. The legislation will enable the sorts of innovation that will benefit New Zealand while effectively managing risks to the health and safety of people and the environment.”

Farrar then adds his 25c “After 25 years of dithering, we finally have a Government that is not letting hysteria trump science. Amazing that this legislation has been introduced in the first year of office – rather than just another working group.”

Misinformation: ‘other countries have safely embraced these technologies for the benefit of their people and their economies’

The Gene Technology Bill is the New Zealand version of an international push by commercial interests to free up genetic experimentation from any last fetters of regulation. The massive profits made during the pandemic under emergency deregulation and government mandated participation have set a new benchmark for industry greed. Our Bill is far ahead of the rest of the world in terms of permissiveness. In a world of corporate giants from the food and pharmaceutical sectors seeking to push the envelope, New Zealand’s proposed out-on-a-limb laissez faire stance is a welcome development and something they have actually had a hand in creating.

We have seldom seen a more brazen claim than the use of the word ‘safely’ after 30 million excess deaths have been attributed to the pandemic during the last five years. Whether they come from a gene altered pathogen or a genetic vaccine is largely irrelevant here. As to citing England as a country accepting Gene Technology, a few days ago we pointed to the growing tide of public protest in the UK about the first use of anti-methane medicine Bovaer for cows and the sale of their milk and butter in supermarkets.

In the EU, proposed gene technology legislation has stalled due to disquiet among member states and in any case includes the precautionary principle which says that new technology must be proved safe before use, something that our Gene Technology Bill rejects. Nor does it liberalise research on microbes or animals as our Bill does.

Misinformation: ‘safe enabling regulatory regime’ that mostly classifies gene editing as safe, but supposedly can identify and mitigate any level of risk

A key plank of the government’s contention is the idea that gene editing has become more exact and therefore the need for testing, regulation, labelling, etc is reduced and in many if not most cases eliminated. This is not based on any valid scientific principle. Accuracy does not equate with safety. Just because you can achieve something more accurately does not guarantee its safety. A sniper trains every day to hit the target, but this does not make assassination a safer prospect.

As a result of serious adverse effects, the prospects for gene therapy dimmed in the 90s and early 2000s, but in 2008 new supposedly more exact gene editing techniques using CRISPR/cas gene scissors were developed. Research efforts stepped up and PR went back into overdrive—gene technology and medicine, according to this new narrative, now being promoted by our government, was going to be safe and effective. Today we know this to be false, as a paper published in November 2022 by the Karolinska Institute shows. CRISPR/cas techniques lead to unpredictable on-target genetic rearrangement which can interfere with vital cellular gene repair mechanisms.

During the pandemic, the supposed action of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines was outlined in great detail for the public and indeed, novel genetic instructions were ported into billions of an injected individual’s cells successfully by mRNA vaccines, but the outcome itself was not as predicted. The vaccines did not stop first infections, transmission or repeated infections. In theory the injected vaccine agents would be cleared up within days after having elicited the required protective immune memory. This didn’t happen.

For example a peer reviewed study conducted by the US CDC and published in the Journal of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Society on Dec 5th entitled “Protection From COVID-19 Vaccination and Prior SARS-CoV-2 Infection Among Children Aged 6 Months–4 Years, United States, September 2022–April 2023” reports that COVID-19-vaccinated children had an increased incidence of COVID-19 infection compared to the unvaccinated.

More worrying: investigative journalist Alex Berenson formerly of the NY Times reports scientists at prestigious Yale University have announced the imminent publication of a study that has found concentrations of COVID-19 spike protein in the blood of individuals two years after mRNA vaccination, suggesting the genetic sequences in the vaccine may have integrated into the DNA of recipients to the detriment of their health.

These and many many other studies published during the last year in learned journals which we have reported reveal there are unexpected and unpredictable classes of serious risk to health with gene technology that can only be detected years after the event with careful research. Genetic material can reproduce and perpetuate itself in a way that chemicals cannot.

The misery of gene technology safety has been greatly simplified and altered for public consumption by corporations, scientists and politicians with vested interests. In reality the interior of the cell contains great complexity with trillions of elements involved. In this situation accuracy is not possible, always there are off target effects.

Moreover there are the ever present risks of lab accidents. A 2022 study of the Prevalence of Accident Occurrence Among Scientific Laboratory Workers found: “Among 220 participants recruited in the study, 99 participants (45.0%) have had accidents during their lab works. 59.6% have been exposed once, 32.3% between two and four times, only 1.0% between four and six times, and 7.1% more than six times.”

What sort of gene technology projects might be approved?

The Gene Technology Bill owes much of its content to Australian legislation so we decided to look over the ditch and see just how it all works or rather doesn’t work. The Australian Office of the Gene Technology Regulator has just issued an Invitation to comment on Clinical trials of controlled infection with seasonal influenza viruses (DIR 210). The project has been submitted for approval by the Doherty Institute, a subsidiary of the University of Melbourne. Its principal purpose is described as follows:

“The initial aim is to evaluate the safety and infectivity of recombinant seasonal human influenza viruses in healthy volunteers. These GM viruses will then be used to assess the effectiveness of therapeutic drugs or vaccine candidates to prevent and control influenza infection.”

In other words the lab is to make gene altered versions of the flu and then test out various genetic drugs and/or vaccines on human volunteers over a five year period. It does sound eerily similar to what went on at Wuhan Virology Lab for the five years prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, but then the Gene Regulator is there to put us right. They have already rated the project as posing ‘negligible to moderate risks to human health or safety’. In other words, whatever the public submits to the regulator, the project, which creates new viruses, is likely to be a shoo in for a rubber stamp. You might like to reflect that there is a big difference between the words ‘negligible’ and ‘moderate’. This points to the highly arbitrary and misleading risk classification process being used in Australia which is akin to pinning the tail on a donkey. You can dive into the details here.

The project at the Doherty Institute has at least reached the desk of the gene regulator. If you have enough money, it needn’t actually ever come near the regulator or his desk. An article in the UK Guardian on Dec 10 2024 is entitled “Moderna’s mRNA vaccines to be exempt from advisory committee scrutiny under $2bn Morrison-era deal“. It reports Australians will be offered respiratory mRNA vaccines from next year under a confidential $2bn onshore manufacturing deal struck with Moderna. The agreement exempts Moderna’s mRNA vaccines from assessment by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC), a government memorandum has revealed. The contract signed with the American pharmaceutical company commits successive Australian governments to buying locally produced Moderna vaccines for at least a decade. They will be manufactured at a specially built plant at Melbourne’s Monash University. The memorandum which is raising alarmed red flags even among researchers says the Moderna vaccines “will not go through the PBAC process and therefore will not be listed as designated vaccines on the National Immunisation Program”.

Our Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology Judith Collins no doubt realises what is going on in Australia and approves. She has cited Australian legislation as the lead we are following. The Gene Technology Bill sets the stage for our newly appointed government regulator to dust off his rubber stamp in a similar fashion and expose us all to unquantifiable risk.

Protection from civil and criminal liability

Despite the bogus claims of safety, the Gene Technology Bill seems to anticipate that there might be a few problems so they have included Clause 187—Protection from civil and criminal liability to remove any responsibility as follows:

This protects most persons from civil and criminal liability for any act that the person does or omits to do in the performance of their functions or duties under this Bill. It applies to the following persons:

the Regulator
an employee or agent of the Regulator
an enforcement officer
a member of the Technical Advisory Committee or the Māori Advisory Committee
a member of any subcommittee of those committees.

The person is protected from civil and criminal liability, however it may arise, for any act that the person does or omits to do under a requirement of this Act or simply if they are believed to be acting in good faith in the course of their duties under the Act.

Short version: the government is washing its hands of any liability.

Just reflect for a moment that the Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) in New Zealand is part of the everyday fabric of our lives. We rely upon it. The CGA guarantees that products must be:

Safe
Of acceptable quality
Fit for their intended purpose
Match the description given
Match the sample or demonstration model
In acceptable condition when received

If a product doesn’t meet these guarantees, consumers can claim a refund, repair, or replacement. The Gene Technology Bill completely bypasses these provisions. Of course those damaged by gene technology will not be able to be refunded or repaired, perhaps the government envisions they will be replaced as happened with vaccine mandates.

So will we know what we are eating or being subjected to?

The Gene Technology Bill includes clauses which repeal and replace all provisions of previous legislation relating to gene technology. A global search of the Bill reveals that the word ‘labelling’ appears zero times. Any previous legal requirement that the presence of genetically modified content be identified on food labels is thereby rescinded. We won’t know what we are eating. This bypasses the need for traceability in the food chain which has formed a protective envelope over public health for a hundred years. No more.

I am sure many of you, like all of us at the Hatchard Report, are becoming more alarmed at the content of the Gene Technology Bill, but our hope lies with the vast majority of Kiwis who care about their food choices. This Bill has been rushed into Parliament without any clear understanding of its clauses. A sober look at the Bill reveals its glaring flaws and misconceptions. Our hope is that clear simple facts will create public pressure and sink the bill. We have until midnight on February 17th to make ;submissions to the Health Select Committee. More importantly, discussing the implications with friends and lobbying MPs directly can create a stir.

This will require steady hands, clear heads and a willingness to discuss the issues with our peers. The key points needing emphasis in submissions and discussions are as follows:

Gene technology content in foods will no longer be identified in labels. We will not know what we are eating.
Without labelling and traceability through the food chain any adverse effects cannot be identified or assessed overturning the lessons of food safety learned during the last 100 years. People with allergies are especially at risk.
Gene technology is imprecise and subject to off target effects affecting health.
Gene tech manufacturing processes are plagued by rogue genetic contamination.
Genetically modified organisms can spread without limit and cannot be recalled or remediated as we found out during the pandemic.
Claims of safety and effectiveness are totally misleading, gene technology is known to produce both short and long term adverse off-target effects.
Genetic material is highly mobile, pathways for genetic recombination with human DNA are known to exist.
The Bill provides provision for the government to reimpose vaccine mandates whenever it decides to do so.
The Bill abandons the precautionary principle and allows for the implementation, release and consumption of experimental gene technology products before they are proven safe.
The Bill does not specify how the regulator will assess any risk. The pandemic shows how far off such assessments can be.
Claims of economic and health benefits from gene technology have been wildly exaggerated. Most projects fail. Projects will be mostly funded by the government and be a drain on the public purse. NZ’s economy will be better served by fostering our traditional strengths in farming. Overseas farmers have found patented gene technologies to be costly and no more productive than prior methods. Widespread implementation of gene technology in New Zealand is likely to face consumer backlashes and close our overseas markets.

In his comment, David Farrar believes that the existing HSNO legislation and the precautionary principle it enshrines have allowed ‘hysteria to trump science’. Nothing could be further from the truth, five COVID-19 pandemic years should have taught us the dangers of funding gene research while abandoning precaution.

Good luck with your submissions. This is winnable if we all stand together and speak out. People don’t just care about their food, they rely on it for health and well being.

Yale Scientists: Covid ‘Vaccines’ Remain in Body for Years, Integrate into Human DNA

December 21, 2024 Pam Vernon 3 Comments

From slaynews.com via Exposing the Darkness @ Substack

By Frank Bergman December 20, 2024

A group of eminent scientists from the prestigious Yale University is sounding the alarm after a long-term study found that Covid mRNA “vaccines” remain in the bodies of recipients and continue to cause harm for years after the last injection.

Shockingly, the researchers found that the genetic material from the “vaccines” can integrate into human DNA.

The unpublished study is led by world-renowned Yale scientist Dr. Akiko Iwasaki.

The findings have sent shockwaves through the scientific community as they conflict with the “safe and effective” dogma that has been pushed by health officials, doctors, politicians, and the corporate media.

During their study, the researchers analyzed people who had received at least one shot of a Covid mRNA “vaccine” but had never been infected with COVID-19.

This was to rule out the possibility that the virus could have caused genetic material traces in the bloodstream.

As we’ve seen before with other vaccine side effects, such as myocarditis, the virus has often been blamed.

The researchers found that uninfected patients who had received an mRNA shot still had spike protein in their bloodstream years after their last injection.

Dr. Iwasaki found evidence of the spike protein still being present 700 days after the recipient received the last shot.

Several of the other recipients had received their last injection over 450 days prior and still had “vaccine” spike protein in their bodies.

In addition, the Yale researchers also found a drop in CD4 T cells (key immune system regulators).

The drop in CD4 T cells indicates that “vaccinated” individuals are suffering long-term immunosuppression.

These findings reveal that genetic material from the Covid mRNA injections is integrating with human DNA.

According to Alex Berenson, the integration with human DNA explains the prolonged presence of spike protein in the bloodstream in vaccinated individuals.

The fact that the study was led by Dr. Iwasaki is also notable.

Iwasaki had previously advocated for the vaccine and dismissed safety concerns as “absurd.”

During the pandemic, she also publicly supported vaccine mandates.

However, these new findings may have shifted her perspective on the issue.

Yale researchers are reportedly facing pressure to suppress the findings due to their explosive implications.

The study from the highly respected team of scientists could collapse the “safe and effective” narrative propagated by the government and media.

According to Midwestern Doctor, Yale officials revealed that there is a “battle going on” to suppress the study and prevent it from being published.

“A battle is going on behind the scenes over publishing it,” the doctor revealed.

“We wanted to wait until Yale buried it to reveal what had been leaked to us (and thereby prove incriminating vaccine data was suppressed) so that we would not interfere with the normal publication process (which is often critical for these types of things to be accepted by the scientific community).

“In this case, given the people involved and the data given, this study will prove ‘long vax’ is a real condition and that the vaccine needs to be immediately pulled (which hence puts Yale in a very awkward position if they publish it).”

The Yale scientists are reportedly planning to publish their study on an unreviewed pre-print server.

Meanwhile, leading medical experts have been raising the alarm after a new study proved that vaccinated people can pass on the genetic material from the mRNA injections to people who have never received a shot.

As Slay News reported, the major new peer-reviewed study has confirmed that unvaccinated people can suffer from the harmful side effects of Covid mRNA “vaccines” by just being around people who have received the injections.

The study finally confirms the existence of “vaccine shedding” – an issue previously shot down by health officials as a “conspiracy theory.”

Alarmingly, the study found that unvaccinated people suffer vaccine harms even if they are “indirectly exposed” to those who received Covid mRNA shots.

A study titled, “Menstrual Abnormalities Strongly Associated with Proximity to COVID-19 Vaccinated Individuals,” was just published in the peer-reviewed International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research.

The team of top American researchers behind the study was led by Professor Jill Newman and Dr. Sue E. Peters.

One of the authors of the study wrote:

“After more than a year of censorship from the medical journals, our landmark study and manuscript have been published demonstrating significant circumstantial evidence that something is being shed from the COVID-19 vaccinated population to the unvaccinated population.

“It is far beyond time for these toxic injections to be withdrawn from the market.”

Reacting to the study’s alarming findings, esteemed physician Dr. Pierre Kory wrote on X:

“The most puzzling thing we’ve seen with the vaccine is its ability to ‘shed’ and harm those who never got it.

“A peer-reviewed study just validated the thousands of shedding reports sent to us.”

Dr. Kory also detailed the “vaccine shedding” phenomenon during an interview on American Thought Leaders.

Mining industry representatives have embedded themselves & the vast resources of their companies into Cook Island communities

December 20, 2024 Pam Vernon Leave a comment

From E-TANGATA
By Teuila Fuatai

Playing the Long Game

The Cook Islands prime minister, Mark Brown, was recently in Aotearoa for a week-long tour of community halls and churches.

His mission? To convince the large Cook Island population living here of the benefits of deep sea mining.

Teuila Fuatai was at the first meeting in Māngere.

With his bright blue shirt and neck ‘ei or flower garlands, Prime Minister Mark Brown looked right at home in Māngere’s Enuamanu Hall.

Brown sat centre-stage, flanked by Bishop Tutai Pere (chair of the government’s Seabed Minerals Authority advisory committee), Tou Travel Ariki (the kaumaiti nui or president of the House of Ariki, the body of high chiefs that advises the Cook Islands parliament), and Alex Herman (the government’s now outgoing Seabed Minerals commissioner), among others.

As one person observed, it was “an intimidating line-up” of the country’s political, religious and cultural leaders.

There to listen was a largely elderly crowd of over a hundred Cook Islanders who’ve made New Zealand their home.

Brown was undoubtedly the main attraction for this audience. He spoke convincingly of the anticipated benefits of deep-sea mining, about university scholarships for young Cook Islanders, and infrastructure basics like good roads and better air access to the pā enua or outer islands, where the cost and availability of flights remain a major issue.

The message from more than two hours of speeches and presentations was clear: A future with mining in the Cook Islands will give us and our people options that we don’t have right now.

“There were a lot of examples around how this industry was leading to ‘firsts’ for our country,” said one attendee, Charlotte Samuela. “Like it’s the first time we’re getting to look at the deep sea, or the first time we’re leading our own research mission as Cook Islanders.”

Charlotte grew up in Rarotonga and now works as a theatre nurse in Auckland. Like many others there, she wanted to know more about how the government planned to manage environmental concerns.

“There was less emphasis on the potential impacts, or really what the research simply can’t tell us yet, which is what I would’ve liked.”

But deep-sea mining is an emerging industry, with very little available long-term research on its impacts, something the government representatives themselves acknowledged.

Still, the Cook Islands government has granted three mining companies exploratory research licenses in the Cook Islands’ exclusive economic zone (EEZ). These companies are hoping to identify, and eventually access, vast deposits of rare earth minerals. It’s a plan that is dividing Cook Islanders at home and overseas.

Major Alert: New Zealand Government is Enshrining ‘Medical Mandates’ in Law

December 19, 2024 Pam Vernon 2 Comments

Collins, Seymour & Luxon want more GE food & without labels … what could go wrong? EWNZ

From FreeNZ @ Substack

Important Article From Guy Hatchard – HatchardReport.com

There is a revolution in progress and it is not a bloodless revolution. The Gene Technology Bill introduced to Parliament this week includes the following provisions:—

Mandatory medical activity authorisations:for a human medicine that is or contains gene technology that has been approved by at least two recognised overseas gene technology regulators.
Emergency authorisations: when there is an actual or imminent threat to the health and safety of people or to the environment, for example, threat from a disease outbreak, or an industrial spillage. The Minister responsible for the Gene Technology Act (the Minister) will have the power to grant an emergency authorisation.

These clauses bypass the medical choice provisions of the NZ Bill of Rights.

They violate the conclusions of Phase 1 of the Royal Commission on the pandemic which found that vaccine mandates hurt people and the economy.

They pre-empt the findings of Phase Two of the Royal Commission which has yet to examine the safety of Covid vaccines produced via gene editing.

It empowers the Minister to make health decisions affecting all Kiwis on the say-so of foreign gene regulators of his choice.

The Bill is being passed under Fast Track legislation designed to prevent public discussion of its controversial provisions and adequate understanding of its impact by MPs. There is no time sensitive need for this.

The Bill ignores the experience and lessons of the last five years of the pandemic which has been a gene technology disaster responsible for 30 million deaths worldwide. Its logic is therefore incomprehensible even to well-informed observers, but it appears to find echoes in a dark history:

“The sun shines” wrote Christopher Isherwood in his 1930s Berlin Stories “and Hitler is the master of this city. The sun shines, and dozens of my friends are in prison, possibly dead.” As are too many of my friends recently, young and old alike.

Following the 1933 Nazi acquisition of power, Germany underwent a rapid and sweeping revolution that reached deep into the fabric of daily life. At the beginning, it occurred quietly and out of sight of most of the population. At its core was ‘enabling’ legislation that empowered the government and its appointees (read: regulators) to take far reaching decisions on behalf of the whole population. Its core aim was Gleichschaltung—coordination—designed to bring citizens, government ministries, universities, cultural and social institutions inline with Hitler’s extreme beliefs and attitudes.

Today we are facing efforts aimed at global coordination of technology, including biotechnology, food tech and information technology. The NZ government appears very willing to play a leading role in this revolution, whatever the implications. We have reported on these previously at length (here, here, here and here).

In addition to the prospect of government reimposition of medical mandates, the Bill does not require labelling of gene altered foods. As this flies in the face of all the canons of food safety and traceability established over the last 100 years, the only possible motivations are either a desire to deny consumers any right to preferences, or a wish to avoid any safety monitoring or culpability. Not only will we be unable to exercise medical autonomy, but we will no longer know what we are eating. This is an extraordinary and frightening prospect and not just for those who struggle with allergies. Food choice is not the prerogative of the government or bioscientists no matter how sure of themselves.

Something absolutely fundamental and personal is being taken away from us.

This Bill is being promoted and steered by Judith Collins, with the full support and encouragement of the Prime Minister Chris Luxon and the leader of the ACT Party David Seymour. Collins is a lawyer and long time Parliamentarian, she will fully understand the import of the Bill. As a previous leader of the National Party who lost an election, it is hard to escape the suggestion that Collins may be taking satisfaction from the imposition of her will on those who rejected her leadership. We have all heard stories of waiters who piss in the awkward customer’s beer and laugh behind their backs. I am sorry to draw such a gross comparison, but my sense of outrage demands it.

VIDEO CLIP AT ARTICLE LINK (Luxon & Collins’ celebratory speech)

The Gene Technology Bill seeks to institute a revolution, it spits in the face of the public who suffered during the pandemic and who voted in a new government with the thought that things might change. Instead we appear to have more of the same or worse. The refusal of Health NZ to publish up to date health statistics such as those for cancer incidence, speaks volumes about a government determined to avoid any accountability, even at the expense of public health. For the record, US insurance data reveals that cancer incidence has had a steady and unremitting upward trajectory since the introduction of Covid vaccines. Ignored by our government and worse: covered up.

There is a time for everything and a season for every purpose under Heaven. A time to be born and a time to die, Now is the time to lobby your MP and let them know exactly what you think. Time to make our voice heard. Please write to your MP before the summer break brings consideration to a close and put a note in your diary to follow up afterwards. This fight is winnable.
