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

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.

This week Pike River Mine families were again denied proper closure

April 3, 2021 Pam Vernon 2 Comments

As the families of 29 Pike River Mine victims are denied yet again the closure of knowing what happened to their loved ones and why, and particularly of recovering their bodies … in reviewing this crime, consider again the information contained in the book written by investigative writer Dr Jacob Cohen (see pdf download at the link). The fact that this book is banned from NZ media is a telling sign of what lurks beneath the surface of the mainstream narrative.

“What was the real truth behind the Pike River Coal mine disaster in NZ killing 29 men? Was the tragedy simply an “accident”? Or was it an incestuous collusion between corrupt fascist international corporations, banks, global mining companies & compliant politicians? How the inexorable love of money by those who run them supersedes everything else” Dr Jacob Cohen

Hear Dr Cohen speak in this interview below & particularly, do read the detailed coverage also by Uncensored (links below video):

An engineer investigating the Pike River mine disaster has claimed a mine manager pumped tonnes of concrete into a vital air feed, likely where the miners gathered after the first explosion, “completely obliterating” evidence.

Thursday marked the 10th anniversary of the 2010 coal mining accident on the West Coast which claimed the lives of 29 men. https://envirowatchrangitikei.wordpress.com/2020/11/22/less-than-1-year-after-the-pike-river-mine-explosion-tonnes-of-concrete-were-poured-into-a-critically-important-air-feed-where-miners-could-have-gathered-engineer/

Giraffe subspecies listed as ‘critically endangered’ for first time

Right on topic with today’s other posting on Tahr, as the authorities cull our own NZ wildlife, anything non native according to the UN agreement signed up to decades ago without our awareness. They are expunging every non native except farm stock. Along with this plan for eliminating ‘pests’ we are also seeing the extinction of various species, planet wide. Our own native Kea are dwindling fast.

COMMENT BY Kiwi4Justice : “…This is amazing!! Thanks for sharing Martin. Having quickly read this research paper my ‘lay man’s’ summary of this research paper is as follows; All earthquakes have a link with a disturbance of the local ionosphere. For most earthquakes this ionospheric disturbance is caused through natural causes related to the sun. However for some earthquakes, they are linked to a different type of ionospheric disturbance which these researchers are unable to explain. The list of earthquakes with this unexplained ionospheric disturbance includes the Christchurch earthquake. I wouldn’t mind betting that the Haiti earthquake shows the same ionosperic disturbance. And the same FEMA officials just happened to be on site at both quakes, and of course there are the strong links of the Clinton Foundation in Haiti. I would love to see the ionosphere chart for Haiti and compare it to Christchurch.”

COMMENT FROM ELANA FREELAND:

From http://www.amazon.com/Chemtrails-HAARP…/dp/1936239930:

On February 22, 2011, a M6.3 earthquake destroyed Christchurch, New Zealand (185 dead). VKS space intelligence blamed Project Wormwood at the joint Australian-U.S. Planetary Defense Base at Learmonth Solar Observatory on the North West Cape of Western Australia. Given that HAARP earthquake creation seems to follow a pump and dump pattern—a pumping action of, say, M4.5, which is then steered to the target some time later for a larger thrust—the Christchurch quake was on point: on February 21, the Northern Territory experienced a M4.7, then a full day later, the M6.3 hit.
If Christchurch was a target error for Tasman Glacier in the Southern Alps region 120 miles away, then how are we to read the fact that a visiting American Congressional delegation just happened to be in Christchurch only to fly out 2-1/2 hours before the M6.3 hit, conveniently leaving behind FEMA deputy administrator Timothy W. Manning to coordinate the American response to the disaster they knew was coming? (General P.K. Keen, deputy commander of the U.S. Southern Command, had been similarly pre-positioned in Haiti for the 2010 devastation. ) Four hundred physicians just happened to be attending a urology conference at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Christchurch; they said they “felt like a wrecking ball was being smashed into the side of the building” as water poured up from the shaking ground. And the 116 soldiers from the Singapore Army who just happened to be in Christchurch for a training exercise and were therefore available to cordon off the city after the quake? Coincidence? From the same EU Times article:

. . . just like Haiti was the catastrophic victim of a US “earthquake weapon” due to a previously unknown fault line, so was New Zealand, and as we can read, in part, as further confirmed by London’s Independent News Service, “The devastating earthquake that tore through Christchurch on Tuesday is the product of a new fault line in the Earth’s crust that seismologists were previously unaware of.” [Emphasis added.]

Was opening up a new fault line the objective of the earthquake? In Chapter 4, we looked at connections between Big Oil, fault lines, and hydrocarbons as per the Gulf of Mexico and New Madrid Seismic Zone. Is something similar going on off the coast of New Zealand? Geo-terrorism researcher Jeff Phillips thinks so. In fact, he feels that Anadarko Petroleum Corporation is HAARP’s primary beneficiary. The company’s portfolio of assets encompasses premier positions in the Rocky Mountains region, the southern United States and the Appalachian Basin. The company also is a premier deepwater producer in the Gulf of Mexico, and has production in Alaska, Algeria and Ghana with additional exploration opportunities in West Africa, Mozambique, Kenya, South Africa, Colombia, Guyana, New Zealand and China.

Anadarko’s board of directors is interesting: CEO James Hackett, a director of Halliburton, member of Trilateral Commission and Bilderberg; Luke Corbett, director of Kerr-McGee (owned by Anadarko); Peter Geren, former Secretary of both Army and Air Force; Paula Reynolds, director of BAE Systems Advanced Technologies that built HAARP’s phase 2 upgrade (completed in 2006) and owns the patent (US 7218571) for a magnetically driven underwater pulse generator; and General Kevin Chilton, former NASA astronaut and head of U.S. Space Command after his command at STRATCOM.
Most convincing, however, is that Anadarko’s man, U.S. Representative Kevin Brady (R-TX), was in New Zealand Prime Minister John Key’s office when the Christchurch quake occurred; four hours later, Anadarko had its permit for offshore exploration, for which it will use its ultra-deepwater drillship.
Whereas Italy sentenced six seismologists and a FEMA-like official to six years in prison for manslaughter after reassuring the public that the M6.3 earthquake that struck L’Aquila on 6 April 2009 would not happen, in Christchurch, the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act (CERA) was passed and the Minister for Earthquake Recovery issued a Notice of Intention to Take Land:

. . . negotiations for voluntary acquisition may run until the end of December [2011]. If agreement has not been reached by then, CERA’s Christchurch Central Development Unit (CCDU) intends to take the land under compulsory acquisition [for public works].

Claims for compensation are always possible but uncertain at best. Headlines like “Poverty ‘rampant’ in quake-hit Christchurch” are to be expected, while corporations like Anadarko reap fortunes from the devastation.
Project Seal, a joint U.S.-New Zealand test carried out around New Caledonia and Auckland during World War Two, may have been looking for new fault lines: 3,700 bombs were exploded in New Caledonia and later at Whangaparaoa Peninsula near Auckland, which created a 33-foot tsunami capable of inundating a small city. This segues to three major 2011-2012 quakes and one tsunami in Japan that inundated the entire planet with radiation.
