It’s interesting to reflect on some of these older posts, considering the decade long time lapse and what has changed (or not changed). Eg. in 2018 NZ’s homelessness was worst in the world! (WP kindly sends us a daily recap for the last decade).

From expose-news.com
The 2019 NewEarth Media documentary ‘5G APOCALYPSE – The Extinction Event’, directed by Sacha Stone, presents the dangers of 5G wireless technology.
5G APOCALYPSE argues that 5G poses an existential threat to humanity, suggesting it could lead to widespread health issues, environmental destruction, and even serve as a tool for global control.
It features interviews with weapons development experts, biologists, molecular and cellular biologists and activists trying to bring to light the dangers of 5G technology, who state that millimetre-wave radiation from 5G infrastructure can cause cancer, genetic damage and mass extinction.
The documentary centres around Mark Steele, a British engineer, inventor, patent writer and weapons research scientist. In 2022, he wrote a report at the request of lawyers on 5G in the context of nanometal-contaminated vaccines. You can read more about his report HERE.
The documentary begins: “It’s important to understand what the 5G is doing and what they say it’s doing. We’re told on the IEEE beamforming document that this technology cooked your eyes like eggs in World War II. And you all need to understand: these are military weapons; these are assault frequencies. If you garnered nothing more than that, that’s what you need to know. It’s microwave radiation warfare, that’s what this is.”

The Expose Urgently Needs Your Help…
Is there a story behind hurricane Melissa … another land grab?
“Smart city” land clearing operations going on?
Jamaica is moving toward becoming a UN-backed smart city under its Vision 2030 development plan, a long-term blueprint running from 2009 to 2030 that aims to make the island “the place of choice to live, work, raise families, and do business.”
Aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, the initiative integrates Artificial Intelligence, Central Bank Digital Currency, and carbon pricing policies.
You will own nothing and be happy.
GEO-TERRORISM ALERT! DARPA-Geoengineered Weather Weapon Packing 175 MPH Winds Unleashed On Jamaica—WHY NOW?
The Weirdest Storm Path of any Hurricane in Recorded History
This Alt Media platform has been closely watching Hurricane Melissa since its very inception. From the beginning, even before it was classified as a tropical depression, Melissa possessed all the signatures of a highly geoengineered frankenstorm.
Quite predictably, NOAA has removed the entire trajectory of this transparently manufactured superstorm from the National Hurricane Center website. Because of Melissa’s absurdly manipulated path from the very start, they really had no choice as geoterrorism investigators and weather warfare researchers would have easily exposed the plot by its very odd behavior.
As it stands at 6:30 AM this morning, Tuesday, Oct. 28, this deliberately slow-moving weather weapon has been stationed right over the island to Jamaica to inflict maximum damage (see the following screenshot). And so it is.
Here’s how Melissa was tracking on Sunday, October 28th before the murderous geoengineers executed a 90 degree angle to slam her right into the center of the southern Jamaican coastline.
Now we see that Melissa has mysteriously produced the “driest tropical eye ever recorded”.
“NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft measured the driest eye ever recorded at –4.75 °C (23 °F), which is a sign of a perfectly ventilated eyewall. This is one of the most efficient Hurricanes we’ve ever sampled with modern technology!”
That data point alone proves that this act of catastrophic geoterrorism is the product of the most advanced DARPA-directed weather warfare technology on the planet today.
Furthermore, let’s not ignore these incriminating data points pointing to a full-blown weather attack and geoterrorist operation being perpetrated against the people of Jamaica and Cuba (as usual).
BREAKING:
CAT 5 Hurricane Melissa is now packing 175mph sustained winds,
with gusts over 200mph!
Conclusion
As for “WHY NOW?”, it ought to be obvious to everyone at this late date that whenever these NWO geoterrorists fabricate such a captivating weather drama like Melissa, there is a great need for the globalist cabal to distract US from something very BIG that’s going on under the radar. Incidentally, the following UPDATE #1 is not that “something”.
To be continued —
UPDATE #1
“There is a lot of speculation within the global intel community that the main purpose of this calamitous geoterrorist attack is to completely monopolize Mission Barrio Adentro, which is the name of the program involving Cuba’s medical professionals assisting Venezuela. In this way, those doctors and nurses and med techs will not be available to help Maduro’s military in the event of an unprovoked attack of naked aggression by the U.S. Armed Forces at the direction of the warmongering President Trump.”
— A Veteran Intelligence Analyst & Former U.S. Military Officer
State of the Nation
October 28, 2025
N.B. What follows are the usual MSM reports that are hyping the 175 mph winds just prior to landfall. If this wind speed is accurate, then Mega Hurricane Melissa is practically a hurricane-tornado just like weather weapon Hurricane Michael when it devastated a large swath of north Florida in October of 2018.
Prime Minister Andrew Holness of Jamaica issued dire safety warnings and ordered mandatory evacuations as Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm channeling 175 m.p.h. winds and enough moisture to drop nearly three feet of rain, made a turn toward his country’s southern coast and its 2.8 million people on Monday.
Speaking on CNN, Mr. Holness offered a grim outlook, saying that he did not believe there was “any infrastructure within this region that could withstand” a storm that powerful.

DARPA Adviser Admits Publicly That DARPA Has Officially Achieved Non-Surgical Brain Control (2020) Straight from the Horse’s Mouth
From Exposing the Darkness @ substack
Be sure to look at the related links at the source … EWNZ
Straight from the Horse’s Mouth
Dr. James Giordano, DARPA Adviser: “…This is why it becomes so important to understand the novelty and the viability of neuroscience as being leveraged as weapons”
“ Then we have the use of nano particulate agents, aerosolizable nanomaterials that can be breathe in and disrupt blood flow and neurological network activity.
That can be used as an inclose weapon, or perhaps that can be used as a more broad weapon of disruption and destruction.”
“We also have the capability to utilize nanomaterials to get electrodes into a head and to create a vast array of viable sensors and transmitters.
Utilizing these technics and technologies to create vast arrays of implantable electrodes that need not be put into the brain surgically.”

The History of the Internet: Surveillance and censorship were the aims from the outset
From expose-news.com
The Internet came out of a 1960s Pentagon project called ARPANET. ARPANET was a counterinsurgency, communications, and surveillance project developed by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (“ARPA”) and based on the idea of “Great Intergalactic Network,” a futuristic-sounding term coined by J. C. R. Licklider, nicknamed “Lick.” Lick was an American psychologist and computer scientist and one of the “founding fathers” of interactive computing.

Analysis of test sticks from surface testing (Slovak Republic)
“Analysis of test sticks from surface testing in the Slovak Republic – confirmation of genocide“
EWR comment: Viewing this information is not for the faint hearted, or the skeptical. With all that is transpiring at this stage world wide one has to keep an open mind and consider all information. From my own research in recent years I know that what is contained in this article is very real. Listen to the videos by Celeste Solum on Youtube. She is ex FEMA. There are many people about who are sharing their inside knowledge of what is going down around us, info that we are not normally privy to. There is much info available and it will take much of your time to read it. Still never has there been a more crucial time in my opinion, in which we really must take that time to educate ourselves. I believe our very survival depends upon it. EWR
From nutritruth.org
Analysis of test sticks from surface testing in the Slovak Republic – confirmation of genocide.
The analysis was performed in the months November 2020 to March 2021 on test sticks in sets. SD Biosensor, Abbott and Nadal in an unnamed hospital laboratory from Bratislava, Slovakia. The test swabs were from the sets used in surface testing in Slovakia and in hospitals.
Anyone who has at least a standard school microscope and a test microscope can verify the information regarding the test swabs published here. All information about test swabs, Darpa Hydrogels, and lithium is publicly available in scientific and corporate work. Links to some are at the end of the document.
From this information it is clear that test sticks are a criminal tool of genocide in the population of Slovakia. This is a worldwide, thoughtful and carefully prepared event.

Rocket Lab’s midnight launch for US Air Force a ‘success’ for whom?
“NASA, SOCOM (Special Operations Command), DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and repeat customer the US Air Force” …. what a line up eh? Who ever would’ve thought? And are you feeling any safer folks? We’ve sure come a long way (downhill) from those days of the ’80s and declining US warships entry to our waters … to this. And a ‘success’ for whom?
We are courted with the employment lollipop … 100 jobs apparently. They think we’ve forgotten that along with the declining of warships we also had full employment here pre Roger Douglas’s treasonous corporate takeover. No homeless, no child poverty, no suicide …. still that’s what comes with giving up your sovereignty isn’t it?
They had fine blue skies for this launch. Pretty rare these days. Perhaps if the NZ Corporation is planning on following her master’s lead in employing aerosol geoengineering, we could have even more of those. Or, hang on, should that read more cloudy skies?
From the NZ Herald
Rocket Lab staged its eighth successful launch at 12.20am last night from Launch Complex 1 on the Mahia Peninsula.
The “Look Ma No Hands” mission carried the first satellite for a new maritime surveillance constellation for French company Unseenlabs. It will deliver maritime data to help shipping companies monitor their own vessels, as well as threats such as pirates and illegal ships.
The launch also saw satellites deployed for rideshare provider Spaceflight, including the Global-4 satellite for US Earth-observation company BlackSky and two United States Air Force Space Command “technology demonstrators.”
Over the past 12 months, Rocket Lab has launched small satellites into space for four US government clients: NASA, SOCOM (Special Operations Command), DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and repeat customer the US Air Force.
Earlier, founder and chief executive Peter Beck played down Rocket Lab’s military customers, saying defence technologies like GPS where dual-use, and that his company had only launched experimental not operational payloads.
And although Rocket Lab does not make all details of a mission’s manifest public, it does have to disclose all cargo to the NZ Space Agency, with final sign-off by the agency’s minister, David Parker. Both safety and “national interest” tests are applied by the NZSA.
Rocket Lab will announce details of its ninth mission in the coming weeks as it contiunes to build toward its goal of a launch a fortnight.
Beck recently revealed his company is developing reusable rockets.
Rocket Lab has also been putting the final touches on its new launchpad, housed at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia on the US East Coast.
Beck said earlier this month that it could be one of the fastest launchpad builds ever. It had started driving piles at the beginning of the year and would be ready by year’s end.
The customer would be a US government agency.
Beck said some US government clients preferred Rocket Lab to have a US launch site.
However, the Kiwi-American company is also upgrading and expanding its assembly plant in Auckland and its Launch Complex One on the Mahia Peninsula.
Beck said NZ would remain Rocket Lab’s high-frequency launch location because of our skies and sea lanes – which, compared to the US East Coast – are empty.
His company is currently on a drive to hire another 100 staff, which will take its total complement to around 600 – most of whom are employed in NZ.

Rocket Lab’s ‘Make it Rain’ launch
“…help monitor and inform decision about global warming” … the old globalist go to for doing just about anything they want & the gullible trusting public as always fall for it hook line & sinker. And as for the ‘make it rain’ title, well some of us know they’ve been making it rain & weaponizing weather for quite some time now.
Why ever else would DARPA have their fingers in this pie?
“Rocket Lab has already launched satellites for US defence agency Darpa and the US Air Force this year….
Earlier, Beck said most defence technologies were “dual use”. Technologies that had come out of defence spending, including the internet, GPS and imaging systems that can help monitor and inform decision about global warming all gelled with his company’s motto that “We go into space to improve life on Earth.” “
from the NZ Herald
Rocket Lab’s “Make it Rain” launch has successfully liftoff, with its Electron now orbital.
The mission is the company’s seventh Electron launch and third for 2019.

Rocket Lab now supported by ACC … so what lies inside their secret US military contracts?
Apologies, I had to repost this as the layout turned to custard with no editing option & half the info disappearing …… so
We have posted previously on the Rocket Lab. (For other articles on topic use the search box). Partnering / funded with / by defense contractor Lockheed Martin, the NZ Govt (which note, is a corporation) and now ACC (also a corporation)? This is something I’m watching. The article below is from thespinoff.co.nz
Ollie Neas | Guest writer
Investigation
Rocket Lab is a celebrated New Zealand success story, with a stated mission to open access to space and improve life on Earth. Yet many of its key contracts are with the US military and their suppliers. Ollie Neas reports on the dark side of a local business hero.
Last Friday Rocket Lab announced that it had secured US$140m (NZ$206m) in new funding from a range of investors, including the publicly-owned ACC.
After a launch the Sunday before, this announcement marked the second time in a week that hundreds of international media outlets took notice of Rocket Lab and, by extension, New Zealand.
At home, though, the issue has been whether New Zealand deserves more of the credit for the billion-dollar company’s success, with Chris Keall in the New Zealand Herald querying descriptions of Rocket Lab as an “American start-up”.
However, there is another side to Rocket Lab, one that raises questions about New Zealand’s – and ACC’s – support for the company.

Trialing GM insects in NZ – Good reason for skepticism on Landcare Research’s collaboration with DARPA & Gates Fndn warns GE Free NZ
See our recent related post on the selection of NZ and Australia for trialing GM insects, all part of the NZ Gov’s pest eradication program called Predator Free 2050.
There are good reasons to be skeptical about the hype behind the GBiRd project, the programme coordinated by Landcare research in collaboration with overseas partner the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) with funding from the Gates Foundation. [1] – GE Free NZ

Warning Against Gene-Drive Hype Provided by AgResearch Gene Experiment
There are good reasons to be skeptical about the hype behind the GBiRd project, the programme coordinated by Landcare research in collaboration with overseas partner the US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) with funding from the Gates Foundation. [1]
Research has found that gene drive technology has many problems; immune systems in wild populations could override the sterility gene after a few generations. With no control over the ability of the genetic technology to be contained there are risks that sterility could spread to other countries. There is the potential that, as TB spreads, so could the sterility technology, which could severely affect farmers who have livestock. The only gene drive technology that has been developed is in mosquitoes. Promoters nevertheless continue to hype unrealistic promises about gene drive applications to the public.
The New Zealand Herald reported that Minister Sage “elbowed out” the gene drive project. [2] That project was looking at New Zealand islands to introduce sterile genetically modified small mammals like mice and rats to see if they were able to breed.
GE animal experiments at AgResearch refute promises of animal genetic engineering that have produced disasters for animal welfare. These experiments show the need for much more caution before allowing genetically engineered organisms outside containment.
“New Zealanders were softened up by promises of medical benefits. GE animals were funded instead of a focus on research funding for issues that farmers are desperate to address. AgResearch annual reports reveal data on animal euthanasia and deformity,” said Claire Bleakley, president of GE Free NZ.
‘Daisy’, the calf that made headlines because she carried a gene that knocked out an allergy protein in milk called beta-lacto globulin, had to be euthanised after living only three years. She was born without a tail and suffered from skeletal deformities that eventually forced her to be killed on humanitarian grounds. [3]
The original experiment on transgenic cows that expressed the human gene Myelin Basic Protein for Multiple Sclerosis has ended with the last cow being euthanised due to chronic lameness from hip problems that did not respond to treatment.
There are also transgenic goats being bred at the Ruakura site. The goat experiments started in 2010, since then many hundreds of embryos have been created, carrying GE genes for synthetic pharmaceutical drugs already readily available on the market. Only 46 goats survive. This year, seventy-nine goats of varying ages were euthanised due to being surplus or killed following veterinary advice, and 9 goats were found dead in the paddock. [4]
“This disastrous experiment in genetic engineering of animals must be a warning against ignoring and underplaying the risks when gene drive experiments are being discussed,” said Claire Bleakley.
