In the name of saving from extinction the Maori language (te reo Maori or simply te reo), New Zealand authorities have embarked on a unique project, breathtaking in its scope and ambition: to demote, hybridise or replace NZ English, the first language of the vast majority of the country, as best they can.  

New Zealanders are being led to believe that only way to revitalise the one language is via a full-frontal assault on the other.

The Policy

In 2019, following the passing of the Maori Language Act of 2016, the Maori Language Commission produced the Maihi Karuna (The Crown Strategy for Maori Language Revitalisation 2019-2023).  The  purpose of the Strategy is to ‘protect and promote the Maori language’.  However the text boasts of a ‘bold vision […] different from others that have come before it’. There are three ‘audacious goals’, the first of which is that people actually have to embrace the project with enthusiasm (or else?).

1. ‘By 2040, 85 per cent of New Zealanders (or more) will value te reo Māori as a key element of national identity’
2. ‘By 2040, one million New Zealanders (or more) will have the ability and confidence to talk about at least basic things in te reo Māori’
3. By 2040, 150,000 Māori aged 15 and over will use te reo Māori as much as English

The idea, apparently, is to create a bilingual country. 

‘when you travel internationally, you realise how common, and normal multi-lingual communities are. And if you are like me, you think how awesome it would be if more people spoke te reo Māori in Aotearoa and we were a truly bilingual country. (Nanaia Mahuta, p.5)

But not as other countries know the term, ie providing texts, signage and education opportunities in more than one language.   The aim is to impose Te Reo on the whole populace, willy-nilly.

‘Kia māhorahora te reo – Every day, by everyone, every way, everywhere […] te reo Māori is a normal part of daily life for wider Aotearoa New Zealand where te reo is used by everyone, every day, every way and everywhere.’

It will not be possible to work in the broader public service, consisting of around 2,900 organisations and employing 404,000 people, without being able to speak Maori.

‘In order for the Crown to recognise the value of the Māori language, and to deliver quality services
to Māori communities, it needs to ensure the public sector can “speak’”the language itself. By doing
so, it will have both a direct and indirect impact on language revitalisation. .

The strategies for achieving the goals include:

• Insisting on ‘correct’ pronunciation of words of Maori derivation, while assuming that words from English should be adapted to Maori phonology and spelling;
• Replacement: replacing English words with Maori words which are not usual in the context; dotting texts with terms that are completely unknown to non-speakers of Maori;
• Insisting that all naming be in Maori, whether it be urban spaces, libraries or policies;
• Consciously using government texts on unrelated matters as a tool for language instruction
• Bribing the mainstream media to apply the above strategies.

‘Correct pronunciation’

Arguably the process of conscious Te Reofication started in 1979 when Victoria University linguistics lecturer Harry Orsman published his Heinemann New Zealand Dictionary. There is a time-honoured practice of adapting foreign borrowings to the phonology, cadences, spelling of the receiving language: everything from sine die to champagne to the numerous examples from English borrowed into Maori.  However Orsman  chose to cross the line from descriptive to prescriptive linguistics when he decided that the original Maori pronunciation (to the extent that it is agreed) should be preferred to common Kiwi usage.  New Zealanders who had never known any pronunciation for the kakapo bird other than /kakəˌpoʊ/ (kackerpoe), found that the ‘real’ New Zealand pronunciation was /ka:ka:pɔ:/ (kahkahpaw).  In his note on Maori words and pronunciation, Orsman argued disingenuously that:

‘[…] the trend in New Zealander is towards the use of formal Maori pronunciation rather than uninformed [sic] anglicization.  Thus what may at first appear an anomaly is in fact in keeping with the standard approach to pronunciation in this dictionary – common usage’

This anti-intuitive policy does not apply to English words borrowed into Maori, which are automatically adapted to that language.

Language replacement

Following the move to ‘correct pronunciation’, official policy has made other linguistic concessions to the sensibilities of Maori radicals: saying Maori instead of Maoris, establishing Kia Ora (probably a neologism) as a formal greeting to introduce speeches and correspondence, saying te Reo instead of Maori (language).  However since the release of  policies to implement the 2016 Act, the pace of change has accelerated dramatically.  Wellington City Council produced its own policy in 2018, with a stated vision of ‘Wellington: A te reo capital city by 2040’.  And they’re serious.  Compare Wellington City Council’s home page of 2020, with the current page.

Note that many of these concepts are expressed in Maori with vocabulary borrowed from English, though now just about unrecognisable as they have been adapted to Maori phonology and spelling (as you would expect).

Naming

Every public institution (and many private), every policy, every concept, every public space is given a Maori name which should there actually be an English name, takes precedence.  Government departments are given Maori names which are increasingly used on their own without translation:  The Ministry of Transport is routinely referred to as simply Waka Kotahi; the Climate Change Commission is He Pou a Rangi. The Maori Language Commission is now Te Taurawhiri, and the URL for its language policy is  https://www.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz/en/te-reo-maori/maihi-karauna/. 

The Biodiversity Strategy of the Department of Conservation (DOC) is now Te Mana o te Taiao: 

The strategic framework for Te Mana o te Taiao sets out how the different components of the strategy work together to achieve the long-term vision of Te Mauri Hikahika o te Taiao.

No meaning is offered for Te Mana o te Taiao; that of Te Mauri Hikahika o te Taiao is given in a box.  The vast majority of New Zealanders would not be able to explain the meaning of  the names being imposed on them.

The Wellington City Council’s Maori language policy is called Te Tauihu;  Wellington City Council committees have been given Maori names, which councillors are expected to use in preference to the English ones.  Civic Square is now Te Ngakau Civic Precinct while the Wellington Public Library has been renamed the mouthful Te Matapihi ki te Ao Nui – it looks like every library in Wellington will have a Maori name which takes precedence over or replaces an existing English name.  Subject headings within new libraries naturally give greater precedence to the Maori version.

NZ cities have been given Maori names, which increasingly replace the traditional ones, with no discussion.

 

Wanganui or Whanganui is a town in the central North Island, but Te Whanganui-a-Tara seems to be a recently coined term for for Wellington.  Wellington’s DomPost recently published an article in its travel pages which appeared to refer to an (obscure) attraction in or near New Plymouth, but it gradually becomes clear that the subject of the title is actually the city itself. 

We can expect increasing pressure to change the names of small towns.  Currently there is a proposal to change the name of the town of Maxwell to Pakaraka, on the basis of a disputed claim that its namesake, George Maxwell, was involved in a massacre.  

Replacing English terms with the Maori equivalent

It goes without saying that NZ English has borrowed words from Maori (so let’s get that of the way), most notably native flora and fauna, as well as many place names.  However it is now policy to artificially insert into English texts Maori vocabulary, even whole phrases.  Words which have already been borrowed into English though not in common usage (being mostly used in a Maori context) are now mandatory, for example the word whanau must replace the word for family in every context, e.g the track and trace notice for Covid-19.  Government texts and media articles are sprinkled with terms which are completely unfamiliar to the majority of New Zealanders, sometimes explained, sometimes not.  A goal expressed in the language revitalisation strategy, ‘Te reo Maori is seen, read, heard by Aotearoa Whaanui’, uses a term, whaanui, which has probably never before appeared within an English text.

A newsletter of the former Royal Society of New Zealand, now reincarnated as the heavily political body Royal Society Te Apārangi, well illustrates the policy.  The newsletter is headed ‘Kia ora from Royal Society Te Apārangi‘ followed by He wahine ngākau mahaki, he wahine toa (translated) and finishes with Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, engari he toa takitini (translated).  It refers to Aotearoa (not New Zealand) and to Te Whanganui-a-Tara (not Wellington).  The text is dotted with Maori terminology such as whare (house, in English more often shed but rarely heard now, meaning in this context incomprehensible), mātauranga, mihi maioha, wāhine toa.  Most are totally unfamiliar  – the fact that many are guessable from the context does not make them any the less alien.

TV1’s newsreaders, as well as using Maori greetings to begin the broadcast, regularly use a Maori expression after a commercial break – the context (and only the context), suggests that it means something like ‘welcome back’.

Communication takes second place to NZ-style bilingualism.  Where other countries publish important texts either as separate documents, or at least having the languages completely separate, NZ documents like the Maori Language Act  alternate Maori and English text throughout, so that they are just about impossible to read on-line. 

Every text must be a conscious language learning tool

Government texts such as the Department of Conservation’s Biodiversity Strategy have as a primary goal the promotion of the Maori language. 

‘Mauri and kaitiakitanga
Mauri is the life principle or living essence contained in all things, animate and inanimate.
Te mana atua kei roto i te tangata ki te tiaki i a ia, he tapu.  The concept of mauri reflects ideas of interconnectedness, resilience and wellbeing of nature. Mauri reflects the intrinsic value of nature, but also our obligation to be stewards of its health.
Kaitiakitanga can be described as the obligation to nurture and care for the mauri of a taonga; the ethic of guardianship, protection of that which is sacred. ‘

Through language DOC achieves a romanticisation of the Maori connection to the environment:

‘Tangata whenua are exercising their role as kaitiaki
Kaitiakitanga is the obligation, arising from the kin relationship, to nurture or care for a person, place or thing.  It has a spiritual aspect, encompassing an obligation to care for and nurture not only
physical well-being but also mauri.  Mana whenua aspire to exercise kaitiakitanga over their ngāhere,
whenua and moana.  However currently there are many barriers to this taking place. In order to strengthen kaitiakitanga there is a need to strengthen relationships between people and nature and
re-establish cultural practices.’

Children of course are fair game: the teachers resource for the sexuality education curriculum, Navigating the Journey (manipulative on multiple fronts), makes it clear that that class at least operates as a language learning class. 

‘You could encourage your students to use te reo Māori as they talk about their whānau. […] Use the following words in te reo Māori to describe feelings […] Encourage the use of te reo Māori vocabulary for feelings […] The students should be encouraged to pronounce the Māori names for body parts’ (Years 1-2);  ‘Students could practice te reo Māori phrases to describe how they are feeling (Years 3-4)

Discuss values and concepts for caring for others, such as wairua, whānau, hapū, iwi,
whanaungatanga. Encourage the students to consider and share examples of these values and
concepts from their own lives, for example, kaumātua caring for their whakapapa, hapū and iwi;
sisters and brothers caring for each other, older siblings caring for younger siblings, parents,
aunties, and uncles caring for children and so on.
[…] Harakeke has important historical and contemporary uses. Many of the whakataukī and waiata associated with harakeke, such as “Tiakina te pā harakeke” and Hutia te rito o te harakeke, express values that are important to Māori.
Talk with your school whānau group, kuia, or kaumātua about their kaupapa (protocols) around
gathering and using harakeke. Make links between taking care of the harakeke and taking care of
people in our classroom, school, and families. (Years 1-2)

The change of name to Aotearoa

Aotearoa was one of several Maori names for the North Island: there was no Maori name for the whole country, and when Maori chiefs signed the treaty of Waitangi, presented in Maori, the term used for New Zealand was Nu Tirani.  NZ continued to be referred to within Maori texts as Nu Tirani or Niu Tirani for another 100 years or so.   At some point Aotearoa became seen as the original Maori name for New Zealand and in recent years there has been a move to change the name to the very clunky Aotearoa-New Zealand.  Suddenly, however, without New Zealanders knowing quite how it happened, the government is using Aotearoa on its own as the formal name for New Zealand.  For example Jacinda Ardern:

‘Medsafe only grants consent for a vaccine’s use in Aotearoa once it’s satisfied […].’

TV1 news and weather reporters routinely use Aotearoa instead of New Zealand, despite many protests from the public.  The upcoming festival of French Films is termed French Film Festival Aotearoa.

There is no democratic mandate for this change.   There has been no referendum, and polls consistently show that the public reject a change even to Aotearoa-New Zealand.   There has been no public discussion of the consequences, for example how this will affect New Zealand’s standing in the world.

The media as an arm of the Labour/Green Government

In April 2020 the government announced a support package of $50 million for media organisations as part of its ‘covid response’.  It subsequently created a Public Journalism Fund, allocating a further $55 million to the media.  First of the listed criteria is a ‘Commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and to Māori as a Te Tiriti partner’, explained as:

‘Applicants can show a clear and obvious commitment or intent for commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, including a commitment to te reo Māori.’

The taxpayer is therefore funding the media to promote Labour/Green ideology, including Te Reoglish and a name change to Aotearoa.

Disempowerment

‘It seems like a hostile takeover of our country is underway and most people feel powerless to do anything about it’. (Quoted by Karl Dufresne)

These ‘audacious’ measures have no mandate, in that no party, no candidate has incorporated them into a platform and discussed them during an election: for example there is no mention of WCC’s te reo policy in this pocket profile of Jill Day, its principle driver.  They are a source of frustration to the vast majority of New Zealanders, who have no interest in learning the language – and probably even less now.  There are multiple inconsistencies: different rules of usage apply; total respect is demanded for Maori but none for English.  They are perverse in that they obstruct rather than facilitate communication.

New Zealand English speakers have no authority over their own language, and are second-class citizens when it comes to Maori.  Any objective criticisms, any appeal to the norms of language, any comparison with foreign usage, are met with accusations of racism. 

Richard Treadgold, a member of the NZ Climate Science Coalition, recently wrote to Cindy Kiro, chief executive of the Royal Society Te Apārangi:

Ahorangi Chief Executive
Dame Cindy Kiro,

Thank you for your latest newsletter Alert, Issue # 1146. dated today. An activist production if ever there was one.

I must complain that it is 90% inaccessible and functionally illegible because of the Maori language.

From Ahorangi Chief Executive through Royal Society Te Apārangi to hangarau learning, Matariki hunga nui (no English hints at all with this one) and Pito mata in action, large portions of your once-captivating newsletter are blank to me. Worse, it reeks of activism, with the Society blatantly forcing the Maori language down Kiwi throats. In years past, it never did, so something fundamental has changed, something ugly has taken its place. I feel inadequate, trampled on and excommunicated (emphasis added).

Where does this come from?

The divisive policies of the  government are consistent with measures applied elsewhere in the world to create disempowerment and racial disharmony.  Te Reofication is promoted in New Zealand by adherents of other policies stemming from the UN and the global elite: faux environmentalism (eg ‘climate change’); negation of property rights; the mass movement of people; critical race theory; child abusive education.  These are all policies of the New Zealand Labour and Green parties; government departments such as DOC in its Te Mana o te Taiao – Aotearoa New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy 2020 and the Ministry of the Environment in He Kura Koiora i hokia promote Te Reoglish along with undemocratic powers to Maori elites, the erosion of property rights for ordinary people,  and climate change alarmism based on junk science.

We can conclude that there is an overriding principle at play.  It certainly isn’t the long-term welfare of the Maori people, or New Zealanders as a whole.

 

See also:  ‘Did voters know of Jacinda’s “audacious” Maori language plan?’ 

‘This is an appalling document, written from a completely subjective viewpoint, it is basically an instruction on how to use propaganda, the govt, the education system and our social institutions to force Maori language and culture upon the country. Of course it involves massive indoctrination of young NZers.’

‘Did 52% of New Zealanders vote for the virtual cultural conversion of our country? How could they when Jacinda Ardern never told them it was on her agenda.’

 

On Wednesday it was revealed that a weekend visitor to Wellington from Sydney, who had presumably taken advantage of the ‘bubble’ that has been created between New Zealand and Australia, ‘tested positive’ when he returned home. 

We are told that the Ministry of Health has identified more than a dozen locations of interest, mostly eateries and tourist locations, as being visited by the Covid-positive Australian man and his partner.  Apparently up to 2500 people visited Te Papa around the time he attended.  Those who used the bathroom at 4 Kings Bar at 8.45pm on Saturday are being asked to quarantine for 14 days and get tested immediately.

Now according to the Ministry of Health’s own website, the pcr test, which was presumably the one used, cannot show whether a person is infectious:

What the test results can and cannot tell us

Even when we take the uncertainties of testing into account, the results can tell us a few things.

A positive test tells us that a person either has COVID-19 (whether they have symptoms, or not) or has had COVID-19 recently. We may not be able to distinguish whether the person is currently infectious or not so we will take a precautionary approach. 

A positive test cannot tell us:

• if the person is currently infectious

• how ill the person is likely to become.

The inventor of the pcr test, Kary Mullis, always insisted that it should not be used for diagnostic purposes. 

Furthermore, there is doubt whether the test picks up exclusively SARS CoV-2 residue, and not that of other coronaviruses, such as the common cold.  In fact authorities in New Zealand and around the world  have failed to show, in response to freedom of information requests, that the virus has been isolated .  Evidence that the ‘deadly Delta variant’ has been isolated or its symptoms  defined is proving very hard to locate. 

Nobody seriously expects a wave of death or hospitalisations to follow from his contacts, any more than when ‘cases’ escape from quarantine, or a plane arrives with a passenger who tests positive on arrival.  No-one expects deaths of the ‘deadly, infectious virus’ amongst the 2500 people who were at Te Papa at the same time. Nobody expects the alleged carrier himself to be ill at all, let alone hospitalised.

No matter.  Experts, including Otago University Professor of Public Health Nick Wilson, called for increased measures against covid, including

• Working from home as much as possible for all non-essential workers;
• Consider temporarily closing all potential super-spreading settings (such as cafés, restaurants, bars, night clubs and gyms);
• Introduce mandatory QR code scanning for the above named potential super-spreading settings if they are not closed;
• Consider cancelling indoor events with more than 20 people;
• Extension of mask mandates. 

The government, supported by the opposition, soon ratcheted up the state of emergency.  ‘Alert Level 2’ measures were put in place for the whole of the greater Wellington region, including the Wairarapa and Kapiti Coast to the north of Otaki.   Level 2 measures came in at 6pm Wednesday evening, will be in place for four days while testing and contact tracing is underway, and then reviewed by Cabinet on Sunday.

Alert Level 2

Alert Level 2 means limits on the size of gatherings to 100 people. Gatherings pose the biggest risk of spread, so this includes weddings, birthdays, funerals, tangi and church services. 

It means social distancing: 2 metres in public places, and in retail stores like supermarkets and clothes shops, and at least 1 metre in most other places like workplaces, cafes, restaurants and gyms.

Face masks remain compulsory on all public transport. […]

Businesses can open but must follow public health rules, including ensuring physical distancing, record keeping and the cap of 100 people. Schools and ECE services also remain open. Hospitality venues can open but must apply the three S’s – Seated, Separated, and Single Server.

All these rules are accompanied by exhortations to take measures which are presumably voluntary.

I encourage people to also wear their masks while waiting for public transport, and in taxis and rideshare services.

I also ask that people wear a face covering in any situation where physical distancing is not possible. […]

If you are sick, please stay at home; don’t go to work or school and don’t socialise. If you have symptoms of a cold or flu, or aches and pains, call your doctor or Healthline and ask about getting tested.

Keep track of where you’ve been at all times. This case is a reminder of the need to use the COVID Tracer App and maintain an accurate record of your movements.

Being at Level 2 for a few days will not greatly inconvenience a lot of people, though very hard on anyone who has organised a big wedding for this weekend. They do serve however, to heighten up the fear, firstly of the disease for those who are genuinely concerned about it, and secondly of further measures such as another lockdown. The government measures can therefore be seen as a muscle-flexing exercise. And of course a spate of testing will mean more bogus ‘cases’, justify more measures to limit people’s freedom to move and meet, and provide a greater incentive to comply.

NZ University Exposed in False Claim of Identifying COVID19 Virus

‘[…] there are risks that, if done poorly, compulsory history in our schools could veer into the realm of indoctrination.  It is no coincidence that one of the first functions authoritarian regimes undertake on assuming power is to produce new history books in order to emphasise the “correct” version of history that is passed on to students.’ (Paul Moon on the proposal to introduce a new compulsory NZ history curriculum)

Moon may not realise that the programmes being developed by the Ministry of Education show only too clearly that it sees its purpose as the brainwashing and the undermining of young children.  This is apparent not only in its use of critical race theory, ie the inculcating of white guilt, but in other modules such as the Sexuality Education and Climate Change curricula.

The Histories Curriculum: Critical Race Theory Meets Maori Radicalism

The Aotearoa New Zealand Histories Curriculum presents New Zealand history purely and unashamedly through the lens of Maori radicalism, with no respect for historical fact. 

An important function of the curriculum is to affirm the permanent special status of the Maori migrants to NZ and thus their descendants, and the permanent special status of the period of pre-European Maori settlement. ‘Maori history is the foundational and continuous history of Aotearoa New Zealand’.  The draft declares baldly that:

‘Māori voyaged across the Pacific and became tangata whenua: the indigenous people of this place. Māori navigation to Aotearoa New Zealand was deliberate and skilful.’

All of this flies in the face of the evidence.

• Oral tradition, the information given by chiefs to the first missionaries and archaeological artifacts all indicate the presence of pre-Maori settlement.
• Oral tradition indicates that the Maori canoes arrived by misadventure.  In support is a lack of evidence that Maori tribes were able to emigrate once food supplies diminished or if they were under pressure from more powerful tribes.

It should also be noted that

• Tribes named the areas they controlled, and there was no name for the whole of what is now New Zealand. (See Kerry Howe, What’s In a Name)

The intention is to impress on small children the evils of colonialism, while consciously perverting history and ignoring:

1) That it was the Maori who were keen on NZ becoming a British colony, not the the British themselves, either because the British had become more moral over the years or because they could see no benefit to Britain in taking over a group of islands which could not sustain their inhabitants decently.

2) The parlous state the Maori were in – New Zealand may have have been a paradise for birds but certainly wasn’t for humanity. They had wiped out several bird species, including their best food supply the moa; there was a culture of cannibalism, slavery and female infanticide.  They had no pottery, no smelting, no way of working stone for building purposes.

3) The benefits of Old World civilisations that colonialism provided both at a mundane level, ie a higher standard of living which more than doubled their life expectancy, and at a spiritual/intellectual/cultural level.  The colonials brought reading and writing, literature, higher mathematics, science, melody (Maori music consisted largely of monophonic chants with a very limited range of pitches) and musical instruments, rugby.  The introduction of deer and deer hunting, often reviled because of environmental implications, has been embraced with enthusiasm by the Maori.

It should be possible to devise a syllabus for older students which explains the history of New Zealand, explains the difficult conditions that the Maori lived under while totally cut off from the rest of humanity, celebrates their practical and cultural achievements – like people everywhere, they enriched their lives with dancing, carving, weaving etc  – and refers to crimes and misunderstandings on all sides while aiming for neutrality and objectivity.  Instead little children are brain washed with false or inadequate information and expected to make ethical judgements about the past.

Critical Race Theory

The Histories Curriculum and other programmes from the Ministry of Education represent the strategy called ‘critical theory’, whose function is to divide and weaken society, in this context ‘critical race theory’.

Critical race theory is rooted in cultural Marxism; its purpose to divide the world into white oppressors and non-white victims. It uses personal narratives of marginalized minority “victim” groups (black, Hispanic, female, and homosexuals) as irrefutable evidence of the dishonesty of their mostly white heterosexual oppressors.

When it comes to race, there is no way out. Critical race theory assumes that racism is permanent and affects every aspect of our society to include political, economic, social and religious institutions. […] This flawed theory of the world suggests that race and ethnicity will always taint and pollute every decision, the result being that racial minorities will consistently lose out to whites because of structural racism. Critical race theory can create anger, frustration, and despondency among anyone in the victim categories who internalize the destructive message.

The application of critical race theory is becoming entrenched in Western schools, especially in the English-speaking world, for example Canada, the United States, Australia . In October 2020 the UK’s Minister of Education, Kemi Badenoch, declared teaching white privilege and critical race theory to be illegal:

‘We do not want to see teachers teaching their white pupils about white privilege and inherited racial guilt’

The NZ Ministry of Education, however, openly espouses the practice of critical theory:

Critical theories represent a range of theoretical perspectives and practices through which people may pursue social justice, address inequality, and work to produce a fairer, more inclusive and equitable society. […]

To create a fairer and more just society, critical theorists ask for the critique of social structures and practices – big and small – that privilege certain groups and marginalise others. (NZ Ministry of Education, Critical Theories archived here)

In the New Zealand context, both critical race theory and the distortion of historical fact will further the cause of an equal partnership between the Crown and Maori, with implications for democracy.  Note that the minority party TOP, which seeks a parliamentary upper house, proposes that this upper house has 50% Maori representation, despite the Maori population being less than 17% of the total.

The Histories Curriculum will join other Ministry modules that implement critical theory.

Te Hurihanganui

The Te Hurihanganui syllabus is another educational strategy which is  designed to demoralise one group (specifically those of European descent), arouse a sense of victimhood in another (especially Maori) and create racial hatred.  The syllabus sets out to instill in small children a sense of their ‘white privilege’, including in-class race-shaming rituals such as getting children to stand up in front of their classroom and say what they had done to acknowledge their white privilege .

‘Racism and discrimination must be recognised, challenged and overturned in all parts of the system.  At the heart of racism and discrimination is a conscious or unconscious belief of superiority over another which does not reflect the mana and inner potential of all people.

‘People who demonstrate a ‘critical’ understanding of racism, discrimination, white privilege and power in education, are capable of influencing change across the education system and in the fabric of wider society. Without critical consciousness it is unlikely that the system will challenge the dominant cultural narrative that views Māori in deficit terms or places the mana of a teacher over that of a learner.
‘Critical’ understandings must be developed through an iterative research and design process that respects and is inclusive of diversity and innovation.

‘Embedding this principle in education will require…

‘Developing critical consciousness about power and privilege.’ (NZ Ministry of Education, Te Hurihanganui)

Likewise the teacher training module:

Unteach Racism

Unteach Racism is a module for teacher training which aims to ‘identify confront and dismantle racism in education’, which it assumes to be widespread. Teacher Lewis Andrew has taken a critical look at the module.

‘[…] systemic racism seems to be defined as the existence of disparities between races. This “proves” systemic racism.’ (Lewis Andrew)

The course depends heavily on completely one-sided anecdotal evidence.  Again the dichotomy is white versus Maori.  There is no acknowledgement that Maori versus European disparities also apply to Pasifika (versus European and Asian), so that health and achievement issues are officially equated, and similar compensatory measures are applied (in 2020 Otago School of Medicine allocated nearly 40% of its places to Maori and Pacific students, although the two ethnic groups make up only 25% of the total population).  And New Zealanders of Asian descent, their achievements and contribution, are effectively buried, here and elsewhere.

Other programmes follow the same pattern of undermining and disempowering young students combined with multi-level dishonesty:

Navigating the Journey: Sexuality Education

Today, the discourse on children’s sexual rights and the belief they are sexual beings are invoked to justify school programs that sexualise youth at ever younger ages. (Protect Kids From Marxist Sexualisation Programs)

The teachers’ resource for the New Zealand sex education curriculum, Navigating the Journey: Sexuality Education: Te Takahi i te Ara: Whakaakoranga Hōkakatanga:

• Recommends the sexualisation of children from the age of five: ‘A blossoming takes place, a journey is set out on’
• Forces small children to question their gender identity
• Reinforces and exaggerates male-female stereotypes, and
• Presents a raft of ideas for undermining a child’s feelings of self confidence and self-worth which, while reinforcing the strong and successful, are threatening to the vulnerable.   (Cultural Marxism and the NZ Sex Education Curriculum)

The New Zealand ‘Climate Change Wellbeing Guide’

The Climate Change learning programme: now termed the ‘Climate Change Wellbeing Guide’ [sic]:

 ‘is a callous, exploitative project whose undisguised aim is to frighten children to death in order to fulfill the government/UN climate agenda.  […] Children are brainwashed, cowed or bullied into becoming climate activists. They are given no space to disagree with the facts as presented, to fail to respond emotionally as demanded, to refuse to take action as required. Such manipulation is child abuse’. (The NZ Climate Change Curriculum is Cult Indoctrination and Child Abuse)

• The syllabus is devoid of academic rigour, and represses all critical thinking.  Children are expected to swallow without question junk science claims about, for example, global warming leading to the extinction of polar bears (currently about 30,000 or more, up from 5,000 in the 1950s).  (See 10 Good Reasons Not to Worry About Polar Bears)
• Children from age 10 are encouraged to consider veganism in order to ‘save the planet’, starting with ‘Vegan Mondays’ – no matter that pasture is a more effective carbon sink than repeatedly milled monoculture pine.
• Child activist Greta Thunberg is presented as a role model, and by extension Extinction Rebellion, possibly leading to civil disobedience, law-breaking and arrest.
• Having callously pressured and enticed children into experiencing overwhelming emotions by telling them what is in effect a pack of lies (see Dr. Jock Allison’s comments in the Appendix here), the Ministry of Education kindly offers advice to teachers and in turn parents on how to deal with traumatised children, with a long list of counseling services.

The Climate Change programme is not simply manipulation of the young in order to serve a political end – it is intentional, shameless child abuse.

Conclusion

If the purpose of schooling is to educate children, to stimulate critical thinking and respect for empirical truth, and to empower them, the NZ Ministry of Education has shown itself not fit for purpose.

‘You’ll own nothing, and you’ll be happy’

As part of the gaslighting operations to prepare humanity for its Great Reset, the World Economic Forum (WEF) released in video form a set of predictions for the year 2030.  The first of these is: ‘You’ll own nothing — and you’ll be happy.’   By ‘you’ll own nothing’ is meant, ‘you will be totally powerless’.  You, not we, the megalomaniac elites.

The Covid crisis, carefully planned and orchestrated by Bill Gates, the WEF et al, has enabled not only a huge transfer of wealth upwards, but also the stripping of constitutional rights and the imposition of oppressive measures unheard of in Western societies, and probably anywhere.  We are told, repeatedly, that these measures are now the norm. 

‘Many of us are pondering when things will return to normal. The short response is: never.  (Klaus Schwab, WEF chairman, COVID-19: The Great Reset)

The global elites are waging a war on humanity.

The plan is to disempower and diminish the bulk of humanity, absolutely: politically, numerically, physically, intellectually, psychologically, morally and socially, in order to give the globalists  unlimited, eternal control.

Politically

Democracy will be a sham, as politicians will be totally controlled by the elites with the help of their bought-up media and their bought-up institutions who will continue to ensure that there is no informed consent.   

The manufactured ‘Covid crisis’ shows that this has largely been achieved.  The insistence on creating the illusion of a pandemic, via a disease for which the average age of mortality is higher than life expectancy, and on stringing it out by using a test which is well known to be incapable of indicating whether the genetic material of the virus is ‘positive’ or infectious, is a good indication of how owned our politicians are.

In defiance of all science, logic and commonsense, in defiance of the opinions of huge numbers of medical specialists around the world (see here and here and here and here), politicians have dutifully launched an attack on their economies, their citizens’ economic, physical and psychological well-being, and constitutional rights.

Numerically

‘Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature’ (Georgia Guidestones, first ‘guide’).

The globalists have been insisting for decades that the population of the earth must: decrease to 500 million (Georgia Guidestones); be more than 500 million but less than a billion (Club of Rome); be decreased by 50% (Henry Kissinger); be cut by 90%  (Mikhail Gorbachev); be reduced to 250-300 million (Ted Turner); or eliminate 350,000 people a day (Jacques Cousteau). (See The Green Agenda)

Anyone who doubts that this is feasible is not paying attention – if the elites want it to happen (and they do), they will find a way to make it happen.  There are already policies in train which are conducive to depopulation:

• the undermining of family and society, according to cultural Marxist best practice, including the promotion of promiscuity and gender dysphoria.
• the skyrocketing number of children with developmental disabilities, thereby reducing the number of people capable of raising families.
• A number of vaccine trials in the third world, involving the Gates Foundation, the WHO, and/or Pfizer (one of the developers of the Covid-19 vaccine) have gone horribly wrong – or been wildly successful depending on the point of view – causing a high number of deaths or sterility.

The Covid-19 Vaccine

Bill Gates has said that he wants almost the whole planet vaccinated.  Bill Gates has also said that the population should be reduced, and vaccines are the way to do it.  (Snopes would have you believe that depopulation would be through making the world healthier, though Gates is unclear on this point.)

The attitude of governments to the proposed Covid-19 vaccine can most charitably be described as blinkered.  On the one hand, there are huge questions regarding the vaccines safety and efficacy.  People are becoming increasingly wary of taking a fast-tracked, government indemnified vaccine that Britain’s NHS is expecting to cause an unprecedented number of injuries, for a disease with a lethality rate equivalent to that of seasonal flu.   59% of French and 56% of Bulgarians, for example, have said they would refuse the vaccine. 

The inexplicable response of governments has been to totally ignore the growing concerns, and to dig in, considering only how they can best bully and blackmail their citizens into acquiescence.  The French government is threatening to ban non-vaxxers from public transportation; Spain is planning a registry for those who refuse the vaccine.   Governments regard Pfizer’s shocking record, not to mention the experimental nature of its mRNA vaccine, as a reason not for caution, but to give Pfizer indemnity from prosecution.  (See also Pfizer’s pulled Swine Flu vaccine.)

The determination to vaccinate everyone on the planet for a cold virus is a warning signal – billions could be wiped out in a couple of generations.  Humanity will have no control over what’s in the vaccines, or their enforcement – science, commonsense and concern for human welfare are powerless. 

Physically

Taken as a package, the globalist policies to:

• enforce mask wearing
• veganise the population
• pump toxin-laden vaccines into children, completely disproportionate to the risk they avert

constitute an attack on human health, designed to produce a weak, unhealthy being.

Mask mandates:  ‘Oxygen deprivation damages every organ in the body.’  (German neurologist Margarite Griesz-Brisson). The fact that the CDC recommends masks for children from two years olds, and some countries have mandated masks from three years old, should be taken as proof that  human welfare is only a consideration in a negative sense.  There is no justification, as children are just about impervious to Covid-19, and do not pass it on to adults.

Veganism: WEF prediction number four is ‘You’ll eat much less meat’, in line with the concerted campaign to turn the world to veganism – the WEF has recently issued a video showing how meat will be produced using a 3-D printer.  Bill Gates, while not himself a vegan, has been promoting evangelical veganism and investing in artificial meat enterprises.  The New Zealand Climate Curriculum heavily promotes veganism for growing children, to ‘save the planet’.  Again, this will result in a weaker, less healthy human being

Vaccination: Regardless of the efficacy of vaccination to combat specific serious diseases, the US governments decision in 1986 to absolve vaccine companies from liability and the subsequent spiralling of the number of vaccines on the immunisation schedule (in the US amounting to 36 by the time a child reaches six years of age), has meant a deleterious effect on children’s health.  54% of American children are now chronically ill.   A recent comparative study of vaccinated and unvaccinated children, in line with previous studies, found:

‘In every measure examined, the fully vaccinated children had more problems than the completely unvaccinated children: more ear infections, more brain damage, more allergies, more dermatitis, more respiratory infections, more eczema—more everything.’ 

Intellectually

A two-pronged attack on the human intellect is in train. 

Nutritional and Chemical Lobotomy: The same measures that undermine humanity physically are likewise damaging to intellectual capacity.  

Masks:  The association of oxygen deprivation with brain damage is well known, and the imposition of masks  should be seen clear proof of intention to do harm.

‘There is no unfounded medical exemption from face masks because oxygen deprivation is dangerous for every single brain.’ (Margarite Griesz-Brisson)

Veganism:  increased meat-eating by homo erectus, between one and two million years ago, is associated with an enormous increase in brain capacity.  Humans rely on animal protein for elements such as decosahexaenoic acid (DHA); its availability is crucial for brain development.  Intake of DHA is known to be low in vegetarians and virtually absent in vegans.    See also: 12 Health Benefits of DHA.

Vaccination:  the skyrocketing number of vaccines on the immunisation schedule has been matched by the increase in rates of encephalitis and thus brain damage.

Negation of critical thinking.  The relentless brainwashing and pressure to conform with received narratives has born fruit.  Anyone who questions and aspect of the globalist narrative is described alternately as a flat-earther, tin-foil hat wearer, conspiracy theorist, far-right, climate denier, anti-vaxxer, or in the context of ‘Covid’ a psychopath or granny-killer – derogatory terms now come more readily to the lips of most people than reasoned argument. 

Psychologically

‘Covid reponse’ policies have been sustained child abuse.  A Cambridge study found that children’s mental health deteriorated ‘substantially’ during lockdown.   70 Belgian doctors wrote to the Flemish Minister of Education asking him to abolish the mandatory mouth mask at school, both for the teachers and for the students.  

‘In recent months, the general well-being of children and young people has come under severe pressure. We see in our practices an increasing number of children and young people with complaints due to the rules of conduct that have been imposed on them. We diagnose anxiety and sleep problems, behavioral disorders and fear of contamination. We are seeing an increase in domestic violence, isolation and deprivation. Many lack physical and emotional contact; attachment problems and addiction are obvious. […] The mandatory mouth mask in schools is a major threat to their development’.

 In the United States, lockdowns have been tied to increased thoughts of suicide from children, a surge in drug overdoses and an uptick in domestic violence; a study conducted in May concluded that stress and anxiety from lockdowns could destroy seven times the years of life that lockdowns potentially save.

Morally

Free love, early sexualisation, promiscuity and the inability to form lasting relationships which are now features of modern society, stem from deliberate policies promulgated most obviously by the Rockefellers, long dedicated to the globalist cause.

The plan to sexualise small children goes back to the 1940s, when Rockefellers funded pedophile Kinsey.

In his 1948 book, “Sexual Behavior in the Human Male,” Kinsey naturally claimed proof that children are sexual from birth and unharmed by sex with adults. He even showed his “proof” on five tables timing the alleged “orgasms” from serial sexual abuse and rapes of children as young as 2 months old. (The babies and children screamed, fainted and/or convulsed during the abuse; Kinsey, an S&M bi-homosexual pedophile, called these reactions “orgasms.”) (‘Rockefeller’s Legacy Enabling Sexual Revolution’)

Socially

Society will continue to be fragmented by mass migration and identity politics (both heavily sponsored by another globalist, George Soros; see also here).  In Western countries anti-white racism is encouraged by ‘far-left’ parties, breeding resentment amongst the majority and a sense of victimhood amongst minorities.  This weakens the capacity of societies to unite for the common good – nobody wants to fight for their country if they feel disenfranchised.  

Disempowerment 

Self-ownership, also known as sovereignty of the individual or individual sovereignty, is the concept of property in one’s own person, expressed as the moral or natural right of a person to have bodily integrity and be the exclusive controller of one’s own body and life. (Wikipedia)

Covid measures have been used to justify, worldwide, a completely unprecedented negation of constitutional rights and freedoms, include rights of movement and assembly.  Furthermore, there is no end in sight –  governments have reserved for themselves the right to introduce draconian measurements on the thinnest of excuses (none comes flimsier than case statistics derived from the meaningless pcr test).  

Restrictions will not end, we are told until there is herd immunity, and the new science says that immunity can only come with a vaccination – according to Jacinda Ardern, the question is: ‘What will it take us to get, through immunisation, up to that herd immunity [level]?’  The World Health Organisation has handily changed its definition of immunity, deleting any reference to naturally acquired immunity.

Vaccination passports – no jab, no movement

Many countries are planning vaccination passports which would enable the bearer to travel and attend large gatherings. 

Agenda 21

Agenda 21 aims to move humanity from rural areas and transform suburbs and towns into high density rental apartments.  Urbanisation makes people easier to control, more dependent on systems which will be increasingly be controlled by government or monopolies.  Home gardens, which allow food independence, will be eliminated as unsustainable.

Big brother

Censorship has gone to extremes, with big brother Twitter, or big brother Facebook warning you if you are about to view an article they don’t approve of, ie any that questions the Covid narrative, masks, or the suppression of hydroxychloquine.   According to the IMF,  visiting the wrong websites – presumably one that questions globalist narratives – will lower your credit score.

Surveillance

Moving people to cities with their cameras, vaccination passports, microchipping, and eventually nanobots in the brain, all enable close surveillance and therefore greater control.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution – ‘redefining what it means to be human’

Schwab’s elitist Davos-man utopia is a trans-human, socially distanced, utterly soulless dystopia for the rest of us. Think of the most terrifying sci-film you’ve ever watched and that still doesn’t go anywhere near it. And the worst thing is that it is sold to us as some kind of ‘progressive’ vision.  (Neil Clark).

Forget that stuff in the Georgia Guidestones about maintaining humanity ‘in harmony with nature’.  The Great Reset encompasses Karl Schwab’s concept of the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’, proposing a transhumanist ‘fusion of our physical, digital and biological identity’.  

KLAUS SCHWAB: "The Fourth Industrial Revolution will lead to a fusion of our physical, digital and biological identity" #TheGreatReset #4IR pic.twitter.com/1ZjrP7F8RQ

— Robin Monotti (@robinmonotti) November 8, 2020

‘The UN Global Goals and the leading partners are closely intertwined with World Economic Forums Fourth Industrial Revolution – a megalomaniac transhumanist plan that will “redefine what it means to be human” and where every aspect of life will be monitored and controlled from above for the “betterment of humanity”’. (Jacob Nordangård, ‘The Elite Technocrats Behind The Global “Great Reset”’)

There have been a number of developments just in the past year or so which bring us closer to Schwab’s vision. 

Robots to carry out human functions, including policing

During the lockdown Singapore has been using a robotic ‘dog’ to ensure social distancing (the European Union was considering using robots for the same purpose on major European beaches over the summer.)  The New York Police Department is trialing a new Boston Dynamics robot dog ‘to protect people, and to protect officers.  The  robot assisted in a suspect’s arrest in Brooklyn in October.

Singapore has also developed a robot that carries out nasal swabbing to diagnose COVID-19. 

Implantable chips

 Covid has given rise to the suggestion that people be chipped to show that they are vaccinated.  However research is being carried out on microchipping people, not just to provide information to a scanner, but to release vaccines or contraception, remotely controlled.

Klaus Schwab, who has indicated that the fourth industrial revolution would ‘lead to a fusion of our physical, digital and biological identity’, is predicting the arrival of:

‘implanted devices [that] will likely also help to communicate thoughts normally expressed verbally through a ‘built-in’ smartphone, and potentially unexpressed thoughts or moods by reading brain waves and other signals.’

If chips relay information out and are controlled externally to provide vaccines or contraception,  then the next step is obvious: directly controlling human activity.

Ape-human hybrids

in November 2020 it was announced that a human gene has been successfully injected into the brains of seven marmosets, making them larger and also increasing brain function.

Inserting animal cells into robotic devices

 Researchers at the University of Vermont and Tufts University have reassembled living cells from the African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, into robotic devices — transforming Xenopus into xenobot. ‘There are no electronics involved. Behaviors are programmed entirely through the structural arrangement of the pulsating heart cells held in a matrix of rigid skin cells.’

Nanobots in our brains

Google’s Director of Engineering, whose predictions on the future of technology have been 86% accurate to date, predicts that by 2030 we will have nanobots embedded in our brains. 

Bionic soldiers

In the wake of unconfirmed reports that China was developing bionic soldiers, a French military panel has cleared the development of bionic soldiers and other high-tech upgrades.  The upgrades could increase human performance and detection, as well as improve a soldier’s mental state and other military-related functions.

Brave New World? 1984? Blade Runner? Tripods?  Planet of the Apes?  Failing some kind of miracle, in the very near future humanity will see realised every dystopian literary and cinematic vision.

In the age of the Great Reset, it is time to have another look at another globalist project: the Georgia Guidestones, a set of commandments whose hour, it seems, has come.

On a high hill in Elbert County, Georgia, stands a huge granite monument.  Engraved in eight different languages on the four giant stones that support the common capstone are 10 Guides, or commandments in eight different languages, English, Spanish, Swahili, Hindi, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, and Russian.

THE MESSAGE OF THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES

1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity.
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite.
10.Be not a cancer on the earth – Leave room for nature – Leave room for nature.

A shorter message is inscribed at the top of the structure in four ancient languages’ scripts, Babylonian cuneiform, Classical Greek, Sanskrit, and Egyptian hieroglyphs: ‘Let these be guidestones to an age of reason’.

The Guidestones are located in close proximity to what the Cherokee Indians called ‘Al-yeh-li A lo-Hee’—the center of the world.

The monument is commonly known as the Georgia Guidestones, or the American Stonehenge.  Like the ancient Stonehenge of England, the Guidestones serve as a celestial clock, recording the passage of time through special features.  The monument has been described as ‘a highly engineered structure that flawlessly tracks the sun’.

‘Built to survive the apocalypse, the Georgia Guidestones are not merely instructions for the future—the massive granite slabs also function as a clock, calendar, and compass.

 

The monument sits at the highest point in Elbert County and is oriented to track the sun’s east-west migration year-round.’

The significance of the Georgia Guidestones

‘[…] it confirms the fact that there was a covert group intent on

(1) Dramatically reducing the population of the world.
(2) Promoting environmentalism.
(3) Establishing a world government.
(4) Promoting a new spirituality.’  (Radio Liberty)

Similarly: ‘The engraved messages can be subdivided into four major areas: governance and the establishment of a world government, population and reproduction control, the environment and humankind’s relationship to nature, and spirituality’ (Georgia Encyclopedia, The Georgia Guidestones).

Background

In the summer of 1979 a man calling himself R. C. Christian came to Elberton in search of both a granite firm to execute his design for a monument and a suitable site for the construction of it.  He claimed to represent ‘a small group of loyal Americans’ who had been planning the installation of an unusually large and complex stone monument. The man admitted that ‘Christian’ was a pseudonym, and while he was obliged to reveal his identity, or an identity, to the local bank manager, this was under on condition of absolute confidentiality. To this day, Christian’s real name and the true identity of his organization (described by him as ‘a small group of loyal Americans’) are unknown. 

The Guidestones were unveiled 22 March 1980.  Ownership of the land and monument was soon transferred to Elbert County, which still holds it.

A full description of both the structure and history of the Georgia Guidestones are given in American Stonehenge: Monumental Instructions for the Post-Apocalypse.

The Georgia Guidestones as a Club of Rome /  United Nations project

The Club of Rome, founded 1968, is one of a number of organisations founded or funded by David Rockefeller to further the cause of global government, including the United Nations – anyone who doubts that the United Nations is a globalist project need only look at the funding of its constituent organisations (try UN Women).   Members of the Club of Rome have included some of the wealthiest and most powerful people in the world, e.g. CNN founder Ted Turner, George Soros, Henry Kissinger, Bill Gates, Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands and Prince Philip (extensive list here). 

There is no direct evidence to show who commissioned the Georgia Guidestones. The circumstantial evidence that the Guidestones are a Club of Rome /  United Nations project is, however, overwhelming.

Unlimited resources: The Guidestone project was extremely carefully planned, with money no object. 

The goals: The goals set out in the Guidestones are closely aligned with the goals and projects of the ‘Club of Rome’, now more often referred to as the ‘globalists’, or the ‘global elite’. The goals of the Club of Rome are, or were at the time of the Guidestones’ erection:

• World government by an elite, facilitated by
• Depopulation,
• Environmentalism at the expense of humanity, and
• World religion.

Maurice Strong: protégé and close associate of David Rockefeller for over 50 years, several times Under-Secretary of the United Nations and mooted to be Secretary-General at one time, Maurice Strong provides an essential link to the Guidestones in that he has been a major force in promoting at UN level policies relating to New Age Religion, environmentalism and global government. 

The timing: The Georgia Guidestones were requisitioned just a couple of years after Maurice Strong established a New Age religious centre in Colorado.

10 Commandments: The concept of 10 moral precepts, associated with the Old Testament, is echoed elsewhere by Club of Rome members.  Ted Turner drew up what he termed 10 voluntary initiatives, which included population control (though expressed fairly moderately), resolutions to care for the environment in various ways, but also for humanity.  There are two references to supporting the United Nations – almost as though the UN is a substitute for the jealous God of the Old Testament.

The sponsors of the Earth Charter, Maurice Strong and Mikhail Gorbachev, have both referred to the Earth Charter as a new ‘Ten Commandments’ to guide the new age ‘global spirituality.

A New Spirituality

The United Nations is not a thing to appreciate, admire or adore. Rather, it is the way, the way of oneness, that leads us to the Supreme Oneness. It is like a river flowing toward the source, the Ultimate Source. The United Nations is the way that wants to lead the world to the destined Goal, where Light and Delight reign supreme.  (Sri Chinmoy, former Hindu chaplain of the United Nations)

‘The United Nations has long been one of the foremost world harbingers for the “New Spirituality” and the gathering “New World Order” based on ancient occult and freemasonic principles.’ (Alan Morrison)

‘the crux of the United Nations’ new world order is global control, in part through a new world religion’ (Walter J. Veith)

The halls of the United Nations have long been a haven for New Age one-world religion spirituality.  From its earliest years the UN has accorded status to the Lucis Trust, formerly the Lucifer Trust, started by theosophist Alice Bailey, and one of several NGOs of an occultist nature accredited to the UN.   The Lucis Trust is, however, as much a political organization as an occult religious one, aggressively promoting a globalist ideology. 

‘Within the United Nations is the germ and seed of a great international and meditating, reflective group – a group of thinking and informed men and women in whose hands lies the destiny of humanity.’ (Alice Bailey)

Former UN Secretary-Generals like Dag Hammarskjold (founder of the U.N. Meditation Room), U Thant and former Assistant Secretary-General Robert Muller were outspoken advocates of a new pantheistic global spirituality, using the U.N. as a vehicle to spread their doctrine.  Robert Muller referred to the United Nations as the ‘body of Christ’.

The spiritual centre of the United Nations is the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, the largest Anglican church in the world.  The Cathedral and the associated Meditation Room are managed by the Temple of Understanding, founded in 1960 and UN accredited.  Both the Cathedral and the Meditation Room are characterised by New Age symbolism.

‘St. John the Divine is the headquarters of the Temple of Understanding, an interfaith effort to steer away from people from traditional religions to a hybrid kind of spirituality based on New Age philosophies, Neo-Paganism and a mix of organized religions’ traditions.  [..]

‘The Temple has received full UN accreditation and has been a key actor in the “spiritual” department of the UN.’ (Sinister Sites – St. John The Divine Cathedral)

Maurice Strong and the Crestone/Baca Centre

Maurice Strong and his buddies are the driving force behind a New Age pagan religion known as Gaia.  (Tom DeWeese)

In 1977 Maurice and his wife Hanne purchased a large tract of land in the Crestone area and created a spiritual centre there, giving land to religious groups to establish a presence.  Visitors to the centre, known as Baca Grande, are said to have included such extremely high-powered personages as Laurence Rockefeller, David Rockefeller, Robert McNamara (then President of the World Bank), Edmond de Rothschild, British Prime Minister James Callahan, journalist Bill Moyers, and Henry Kissinger.

Maurice Strong and his buddies are the driving force behind a New Age pagan religion known as Gaia.  And it is pure nature worship.  The Strongs own a 63,000-acre ranch in Colorado known as Baca Grande… Baca Grande, Strong believes, is the Vatican City of the New World Order. (Eric T. Karlstrom, Is Crestone/Baca, Colorado, “The Vatican City of the New World Order”?: An Exposé of the “New World Religion”)

Hanne Strong was also involved in the organisation of spiritual ‘earth healing’ ceremonies in parallel with the Habitat 1 and Rio Earth Summit conferences, each lasting several days.   

The Earth Charter

The Earth Charter Initiative was launched in 1994 by Maurice Strong as head of the Earth Council and Mikhail Gorbachev, acting in his capacity as president of Green Cross International.   An Earth Charter Commission was formed in 1997 with Steven C. Rockefeller, professor of religion and trustee of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, as Vice-Chairman.

Both Strong and Gorbachev expressed the wish that the Charter be seen as a modern 10 Commandments.  Further to this idea, an Ark of Hope was constructed to carry a copy of the Earth Charter, imitating the Ark of the Covenant in which the Israelites carried the original stone tablets given to Moses.  

‘On September the 9th, 2001 a celebration of the Earth Charter was held at Shelburne Farms Vermont for the unveilling of the Earth Charter’s final resting place. […]  ‘The “For Love of Earth” day-long celebrations began with an early morning pilgramage during which 2000 or so participants, led by Satish Kumar, walked to the “great barn” where they were greeted by the sounds of the “Sun Song” played by musician Paul Winter. The Pagan festivities continued with the words of Dr. Jane Goodall, Satish Kumar and organizer Dr. Steven C. Rockefeller. The Earth worshippers were treated to dance, music and paintings of several Vermont artists, after which they joined hands and offered an “Earth prayer” of “reverence” and “commitment” to Mother Earth and the “Ark of Hope”.’

9/11 occurred two days later, and the Ark was then carried to New York where it lay at the Interfaith Center. 

‘The Ark of Hope is aptly named. The believers in the “earth-friendly” propaganda of enviro-socialism can only hope that elitist central planners like Rockefeller, Strong and Gorbachev actually have the interests of the peasants in mind. Anyone who studies history can be confident that they do not, and never did. This packaging of the Earth Charter clearly indicates that the promoters intend for it to be adopted as a matter of faith and hope rather than reason.’ (The Earth Charter and the Ark of Hope)

The corporate-funded climate action group Extinction Rebellion, founded in 2018, is continuing the theme of New Age spiritualism, with a taste for mystical routines and weird costumes.  However, whether the New Spirituality is intended to be just a select club, or whether it is supposed to embrace all of humanity, and if so whether it is working, is open for debate – while climatism and compliance to the globalist narratives are often said to be cults, they reflect intellectual enslavement rather than anything spiritual.

Dramatically Reducing the World’s Population

‘Scratch a CoR member and there is a global depopulation misanthrope inside’ (Bill Elder, here in comments)

• ‘… the resultant ideal sustainable population is hence more than 500 million but less than one billion’, Club of Rome, Goals for Mankind, 1976.
• ‘World population needs to be decreased by 50%’, Henry Kissinger, member of CoR.
• ‘the ecological crisis, in short, is the population crisis. Cut the population by 90% and there aren’t enough people left to do a great deal of ecological damage‘, Mikhail Gorbachev, Former President of the Soviet Union, member of CoR.
• ‘A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal’, Ted Turner, founder of CNN, major UN donor, member of CoR.
• ‘In order to stabilize world population, we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it is just as bad not to say it‘, Jacques Cousteau, French naval officer and explorer, member of the CoR.
• ‘If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels’, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, member of CoR.    (The Green Agenda)

The Club of Rome has promoted depopulation on the basis of two conflicting reasons.  The first was humanitarian, when the Club of Rome embraced the idea that humanity was threatened with mass starvation, due to over-population.  In 1968 Paul Ehrlich wrote The Population Bomb, which warned of mass starvation due to over-population. 

“In the 1970s the world will undergo famines – hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death…”– Paul Ehrlich, the Population Bomb, 1968

The idea that the world’s population must continue increasing at the same rate, and that the planet will not be able to feed this population, has been discredited.  However, another justification for depopulation quickly emerged: environmentalism – we must depopulate to save the planet.

Environmentalism At the Expense of Humanity

“The Earth has cancer and the cancer is Man.” Club of Rome, Mankind at the Turning Point, 1974

The emphasis on reducing population for the good of humanity is largely gone, and the focus is now on the greater claims of the environment.   The two prongs of the environmentalist strategy are

• The concept of biodiversity, which has to take precedence over other rights, even (especially) of human life;
• The Rockefeller catastrophic anthropogenic global warming narrative.

Each of these facilitate the forced movement of people away from the countryside or the coast into high density cities, conducive to depopulation and to loss of private ownership.

Maurice Strong and other Rockefeller assets were involved in numerous conferences and reports focusing on the impact of humanity on the environment, from the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment in 1972 to Rio Earth Summit (UNCED) 1992.  The Summit gave rise to numerous reports and agreements, including Agenda 21,  the ‘comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment’ (UN definition).  They all repeat the same themes of climate change, biodiversity, urbanisation, government control of land and global governance, including more say for UN-accredited NGOs (Rockefeller Foundation, Gates Foundation, Open Society …).

The low value that is given to human welfare is no longer disguised.  The aim is ‘restoration’ with the implication that this is completely open-ended, ie leading to the return of the country to pre-human occupation. While ‘indigenous’ native flora and fauna, down to the most common weed, are expected to have unlimited room to roam, humanity is to be squeezed into smaller and smaller spaces.  See the American Wildlands Project, or New Zealand’s Significant Natural Areas, which aims to prioritise ‘biodiversity’ even in major cities, in the form of rewilding at the expense of human living space and the biodiversity inherent in home gardens.

Global Governance

“Nationhood as we know it will be obsolete, all states will recognize a single, global authority…National sovereignty wasn’t such a great idea after all.” ( Strobe Talbott, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State in the Clinton Administration)

From 1990 to 2000 there was a concerted campaign to formally extend the powers of  the United Nations and its constituent and associated organisations with a series of conferences and reports, all recommending more power to the United Nations bureaucracy and a review of the veto.  Maurice Strong was heavily involved in all of them (see Appendix 2.)  They culminated in ‘The Charter for Global Democracy‘ of 1999, summarised thus:

1. Consolidation of all international agencies under the direct oversight of the United Nations.
2. Regulation by the United Nations of all transnational organizations and financial institutions.
3. Independent source of revenue for the United Nations, and taxes on aircraft and shipping fuels, and licensing the use of the global commons. [The “global commons” is defined to be “outer space, the atmosphere, non-territorial seas, and the related environment that supports human life.]
4. Eliminate the veto power and the permanent member status on the Security Council.
5. A United Nations ready reaction force.
6. Require United Nations registration of all arms and the reduction of national armies as a part of a multilateral global security system under the authority of the United Nations.
7. Require individual and national compliance with all United Nations Human Rights treaties.
8. Activate the International Criminal Court, make the International Court of Justice compulsory for all nations, and give individuals the right to petition the courts to remedy social injustice.
9. Create a new institution to establish economic and environmental security by ensuring sustainable development.
10. Create a new international environmental court.
11. Adopt a declaration that climate change is an essential global security interest that requires the creation of a high-level action team to allocate carbon emission based on equal per-capita rights.
12. Cancellation of all debt owed by the poorest nations, global poverty reductions, and equitable sharing of global resources as allocated by the United Nations.  (Henry Lamb, edited)

Henry Lamb concluded:

‘The document is, in reality, a Charter for the abolition of individual freedom’.

Like all UN documents, the charter stresses the role of civil society – ‘open international institutions to increased participation by civil society’ – by which is meant the elite foundations who already control the United Nations through generous funding.

It was intended that the Charter be adopted at the Millenium Conference the next year, but instead a somewhat watered down version, the United Nations Millenium Declaration, was unanimously adopted at the Conference  (text).

2020: the Covid Pandemic and the Great Reset

‘Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?’ (Maurice Strong)

After years of warning humanity of a major pandemic, globalist forces including Bill Gates, the World Economic Forum, corporate-owned institutions such as the WHO and almost certainly China contrived a global crisis on the back of the cold virus (see also Global Covid Fraud: Evidence That All the Data is 100% False). On the face of it the Covid plandemic has achieved unimaginable success for the globalists, in terms of resetting the world’s economy and establishing authoritarian regimes everywhere.

Justinian II, it is said, on the completion of the great church of Haghia Sophia in Constantinople, looked up and said, ‘Oh Solomon, I have outdone thee’.

Bill Gates, as his plandemic unfurled throughout the world, looked down and said, ‘Oh David, I have outdone thee’.

However, the elites are not done with ‘climate’.   At a World Economic Forum zoom meeting in June, hosted by WEF head Klaus Schwab and Prince Charles and attended by the UN Secretary-General António Guterres , the chief economist of the IMF and heads of major corporations such as Microsoft and BP a Great Reset was announced. 

The ‘pandemic’, it seems, was not so much a disaster, as an ‘opportunity’ (for the globalists), to ‘build back better’, so as to protect the planet from humanity.  There is an underlying assumption that as humanity has accepted draconian measures to protect us from ‘covid’, so humanity can without pause accept similar measures in the name of ‘climate’  – that dictatorial control by an elite, of humanity and all resources, is inevitable. (See Introducing the ‘Great Reset’:  World Leaders’ Radical Plan to Transform the Economy.)

According to Klaus Schwab:

‘Every country, from the United States to China, must participate, and every industry, from oil and gas to tech, must be transformed, […]  ‘all aspects of our societies and economies’ must be “revamped,’ ‘from education to social contracts and working conditions’.

Or alternatively:

‘The declaration by the World Economic Forum to make a Great Reset is to all indications a thinly-veiled attempt to advance the Agenda 2030 “sustainable” dystopian model, a global “Green New Deal” in the wake of the covid19 pandemic measures. Their close ties with Gates Foundation projects, with the WHO, and with the UN suggest we may soon face a far more sinister world after the covid19 pandemic fades.

‘So there it is folks. Just like that. By hook or by crook, they’re going to try and steamroll us into their idea of utopia, and it’s not going to be pretty.’  (The Reset)

Or:

The Great Reset entails smashing everything to pieces, using the cover of Covid-19, to radically change society and its structures, benignly sloganized as ‘build back better’. (German whistleblower exposes the Great Reset)

Be afraid, be very afraid.

 

Appendix 1:  UN conferences and reports concerned with the human impact on the environment 1972 to 1992

• Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment in 1972, organised by Maurice Strong at the request of U Thant.   Typically the Conference resolutions are strongly focused on reining in humanity rather than advancing it. 
• Maurice Strong is responsible for the preliminary planning of the first UN Conference on Human Settlements and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat I), held in Vancouver, 1976.  The Conference epitomised the prioritising of  nature over the rights and needs of humanity.  While on the one hand there was a three day ‘Earth Healing’ ceremony, on the Conference condemned private property, supported urbanisation and was represented by a poster showing a block of apartments.

 

• 1980 UNEP, founded by Maurice Strong in 1972 produces the World Conservation Strategy. which declares ‘The most acute climatic problem, however, is carbon dioxide accumulation as a result of the burning of fossil fuel, deforestation and changes in land use.’
• In 1987 David Rockefeller, accompanied by associates Strong and Brundtland hijack the 4th World Wilderness Congress, organised by Maurice Strong – none of the three had attended previous conferences, but all three spoke, using the new language of sustainability and biological diversity.
• 1991, 14 months before the Rio Earth summit (UNCED), Prince Charles holds a private two day international conference aboard the royal yacht Britannia, moored off the coast of Brazil, bringing together key international figures ‘in an attempt to achieve a degree of harmony between the various countries that would happen at the Rio Earth Summit’.  Those attending included Al Gore, senior officials from the World Bank, and chief executives from companies such as Shell and British Petroleum, and the key NGOs.
• Rio Earth Summit (UNCED) 1992, organised by Maurice Strong.   The Summit gave rise to numerous reports and agreements, including Agenda 21,  the ‘comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment’ (UN definition).  They all repeat the same themes of climate change, biodiversity, urbanisation, government control of land and global governance, including more say for NGOs.
• Maurice Strong was also advisor to the 2012 Rio + 20 Summit.

Appendix 2: UN Conferences from 1990 to 2000 to promote global governance

• In 1990 and 1991 the International Conferences On A More Democratic United Nations (CAMDUN-1  and CAMDUN-2). 
• April 22 1991,the Stockholm Initiative on Global Security and Governance arising from a meeting of  world leaders, including Club of Rome member Gro Harlem  Brundtland, leads to the Commission on Global Governance, with a brief ‘to further explore the new challenges of global interdependence‘ with Maurice Strong as a member.
• Our Global Neighbourhood: the Report of the Commission on Global Governance was produced in 1995.  Among those recommendations are specific proposals to expand the authority of the United Nations to provide:
  • Global taxation;
  • A standing UN army;
  • An Economic Security Council;
  • UN authority over the global commons;
  • An end to the veto power of permanent members of the Security Council;
  • A new parliamentary body of “civil society” representatives (NGOs);
  • A new “Petitions Council“;
  • A new Court of Criminal Justice;
  • Binding verdicts of the International Court of Justice;
  • Expanded authority for the Secretary General.
• 1997 New Secretary-General Kofi Annan appoints Maurice Strong as Executive Coordinator for United Nations Reform in January 1997 with a view, according to a UN press release ‘to reform and streamline the Organization’ [sic].  July 1997 Maurice Strong produced his report, Renewing the United Nations, six months later, in July 1997. 
• 1999 ‘The Charter for Global Democracy . 
• 2000 the Millenium Declaration.

Ever since the WHO rather strangely recommended that countries ‘test, test, test’ for SARS-CoV-2, a mantra quickly parroted by leaders such as Jacinda Ardern, cynics have been predicting a ‘casedemic’, ie a pandemic narrative based purely on the meaningless pcr test. And so it came to pass: the decrease in deaths was matched by frenzied media hype about ‘cases’. Swedish Covid statistics through November exemplify the tenuous nature of the relationship between reported cases  based on positive testing and the lethality of the virus.

Sweden refused to overreact during the ‘first wave’ of the alleged pandemic earlier in the year, choosing to follow a policy of allowing healthy people to develop natural immunity, with few restrictions. The country’s administration is now caught up in the case frenzy, bringing in a ‘new wave of restrictions after daily coronavirus cases hit a record’.

Here are the figures for the ‘Daily New Cases’ in Sweden, showing a terrifying rise over the last month, several times that of the first wave between March and July:

You could be forgiven for concluding that Sweden’s most dangerous time for the pandemic to date began in October. But not according to the death statistics – the Daily New Deaths for the last few weeks, normally considered the beginning of the seasonal flu season, average about a third of the figures for the first wave:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The United Kingdom shows a similar contrast, with a death rate slightly higher than Sweden’s for the new flu season:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Italy the death figures for the new season are higher still, but again they contrast markedly with the case pattern:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The figures for Covid-19 cases match those of deaths most closely in the mid-late summer months. This may be because the PCR test picks up viral residue (and not just from Covid-19) for some weeks after infection, and there are far fewer new viral infections once the weather warms up (note: this is purely a hypothesis on my part).

As the ‘casedemic’ narrative has worked so well, world-wide claims of a frightening increase in Covid-19 are still invariably based on cases, even now when the new flu season in the Northern hemisphere will inevitably lead to more deaths from influenza and pneumonia.

The UK has been on a shopping spree to secure coronavirus vaccines from multiple companies.   According to Reuters, in total it has made agreements to buy 362 million vaccine doses in total; the population of the UK is 66 million.

At the same time the Ministry of Health is aware that the fast-tracked vaccines will not undergone the necessary testing (which normally takes years).  A recent contract award notice by the Ministry of Health’s Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), for software to manage adverse reactions, makes it painfully clear that those brave enough, or compelled, to take the vaccines when they first become available will be the test subjects.

The notice makes it clear that

• the UK government is expecting an unprecedented number of injuries arising from the Covid-19 vaccine, so many that its normal systems won’t be able to cope, and
• that the government plans to process the adverse reactions as quickly as possible, so that then, and only then, can it evaluate the safety of the vaccine.

So, like other governments around the world, the UK is committed to investing huge sums in a vaccine and to essentially forcing it on the populace, when it knows the vaccine:

• is for a disease that has a 99.98 survival rate and is therefore not indicated;
• is of questionable efficacy;
• will not be safe.

The following was written by Mandata and first published in Greek at Mandata  (translated by Barbara McKenzie).

“Just when:

• Major pharmaceutical companies are embarking on a frantic race to make the new coronavirus vaccine,
• Governments inside and outside the European Union are rushing to conclude contracts and agreements for the supply of the vaccine, and
• The mainstream media, fully coordinated and in complete unanimity, are committed to propagating the new vaccine that is coming to ‘save’ us, emphasizing its effectiveness, but also its safety,

The United Kingdom is taking urgent measures to prepare to deal with a ‘high volume’ [sic] of side effects from the new vaccine.

On 23 November, the Ministry of Health’s Medicines & Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) published in TED (Tenders Electronic Daily – annex to the Official Journal of the European Union) a contract award notice for the supply of Artificial Intelligence software to handle the ‘expected high volume of COVID-19 vaccine adverse reactions’.

The following is a description of the procurement process, by which the contract (worth £1,500,000.00 plus VAT) will be awarded directly without it going to tender.

The (self-evident?) conclusions are yours, but we will emphasize only one point:

The UK does not know at the moment which vaccine to order, since from the point of view of the pharmaceutical companies the process hasn’t moved beyond announcements to the press, because  no Covid-19 vaccine has actually been approved.

However, the relevant department of the Ministry of Health knows very well and with absolute certainty that, whatever the new vaccine is, not only will it have serious side effects, but they will manifest in such a large number that its information systems will be unable to cope.

Nevertheless, the Ministry continues to enter into contracts and agreements with the pharmaceutical companies for the purchase of the vaccine and asks to strengthen his system with new artificial intelligence software in order to be able to cope!

In other words, in addition to the money the Ministry will spend on vaccines, it will spend more to deal with the expected damage that they will cause!  It could be considered just another case of scandalous government procurement and embezzlement of public money, if not for the criminal implications for the health and lives of millions of people.”

Qantas Boss Says Passengers Will Need to be Vaccinated for International Flights

Head of WHO Suggests COVID Restrictions Will Continue Even After Vaccine

‘The controlled demolition of society, named COVID-19, places us at the gates to hell, somewhere between freedom and slavery, fighting a battle for humanity against a government who have become the occupational hazard of being human. […] liberties older than Parliament itself have been confiscated on the basis of a disease with an average mortality age of 82.’ (Dustin Broadbery)

On the back of a completely invalid testing process, a new wave of lockdowns is being imposed on the countries of the world.  Humanity is now psyched into believing that unproven, asymptomatic cases of SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) constitute a deadly threat to mankind, justifying draconian measures that impact very negatively on economies, human rights and human welfare. 

While the northern hemisphere is entering into a new flu season, and one can expect increased sickness accordingly, the new basis for covid fearmongering, world-wide, is not actual hospitalisations and deaths, but ‘cases’ – we are in the midst of a ‘casedemic’.

Back in March the World Health Organization called on all countries to ramp up their testing programs as the best way to slow the advance of the coronavirus pandemic: ‘We have a simple message to all countries – test, test, test’.  As the official Covid-19 death toll has dropped, there has been a shift of focus from deaths to ‘cases’, and ‘test test test’ to find these cases.  In August the World Health Organisation changed their definition of a confirmed Covid-19 case:

‘Confirmed COVID-19 case: A person with laboratory confirmation of COVID-19 infection, irrespective of clinical signs and symptoms.’

Sot it was no longer necessary to show defining symptoms to diagnose SARS-CoV-2, as is normal for a seasonal virus: for someone to be declared to be suffering from the virus, they just had to have ‘tested positive’.  Governments then vowed to introduce large scale testing to find these cases. There was much that was odd about this:

• The shift was worldwide – governments from the UK to New Zealand were suddenly, on cue it seemed, all talking about ‘cases’ instead of mortality.
• The cases are largely asymptomatic – deaths continued to drop.
• The cases are determined by an invalid process, using a test unsuitable for the purpose.

Comparison of UK ‘covid cases’ versus deaths

The Casedemic Unrolls

Most countries in the world have been in a state of emergency since about March. Typically there were extreme restrictions imposed early in the year, then perhaps a loosening up, then perhaps a reimposition of some restrictions.  Boris Johnson strangely imposed for the first time mask mandates for shops and supermarkets from 24 July, the very height of the English summer, when people are least vulnerable to flu and colds.

With all the ramped-up fearmongering and the obsession with ‘cases’, the new wave of authoritarian measures should not have have come as a great surprise. At the end of October / beginning of November most of the countries of Europe went into some form of lockdown.  The United Kingdom likewise declared a lockdown from 5 November, on the basis that the worst case scenario for the next wave was 80,000 deaths.  Those figures have been debunked, but the government has refused to cancel the lockdown. 

Mongolia, which has had no Covid deaths at all, has now declared a three day lockdown for the capital Ulaanbaatar, purely on the basis of its ‘first locally-transmitted case since the beginning of the pandemic’.   This is being done with a certain amount of fanfare, with repeated sponsored posts on social media from, at least, the Mongolian Consulate in New Zealand.  Mongolia is sending a message,  that Mongolia too is being responsible, or compliant – what inspired this sudden promotion on Mongolia’s part, one wonders, and who is paying?

New Zealand is now threatened with a lockdown for Christmas – in the Antipodean summer –  if we aren’t good, i.e. if we don’t use the contact tracing app. (most important) and wash our hands.

New displays of authoritarianism are being dreamed up all the time.  Measures in Greece, for example, include, a requirement that in the case of movement outside the home, an SMS message must be sent before venturing out indicating the reason, or if no smart phone is available, a piece of paper with the reason stated must be carried round. 

New Zealand went into lockdown in March while the WHO was still discouraging mask use, and so the use of masks was minimal.   When it went into ‘heightened alert’ in August, masks were mandated on public transport (including for secondary school children) and by some employers.  Now, although there have been no ‘with Covid’ deaths for months,  Director-General of Health Ashley Bloomfield is seeking for masks to be compulsory on public transport for all levels of the state of emergency, thus for the foreseeable future, again purely on the basis of ‘testing’ and ‘cases’.

There is NO Covid Test

Given that authorities round the world, after numerous FOI requests, admit they have no evidence of SARS-CoV-2 ever being isolated, it’s not clear what exactly governments are testing for.  

The test most commonly used is the RT-PCR test.  The PCR test does not actually show whether the viral particles it finds are infectious or not.

‘[…] patients that have recovered from a viral infection have cells that can continue to produce viral RNA without actually making infectious virus particles. That means it is not only possible but common to detect viral RNA without there being any infectious virus present. (A Virologist Explains Why Covid-19 Coronavirus Isn’t Really Dangerously Lingering on Surfaces for Weeks)

This is clearly stated by the World Health Organisation:

Infection with the virus causing COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) is confirmed by the presence of viral RNA detected by molecular testing, usually RT-PCR.   Detection of viral RNA does not necessarily mean that a person is infectious and able to transmit the virus to another person.

And by Public Health England:

RT-PCR detects presence of viral genetic material in a sample but is not able to distinguish whether infectious virus is present.

Another type of test is antibody testing: also known as a serology test, it detects the presence of antibodies in your blood.  The problem with antibody testing is that a positive result can be triggered by other coronaviruses, including the common cold.  From the US Centres for Disease Control:

‘A positive test result shows you may have antibodies from an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19. However, there is a chance a positive result means that you have antibodies from an infection with a virus from the same family of viruses (called coronaviruses), such as the one that causes the common cold.’

Furthermore, the testing is inconsistent and usually voluntary, being carried out on those prepared to be tested, or caught up in the system.

The case statistics are essentially fraudulent, and do not correspond to hospitalisations or mortality.  These fraudulent case statistics are being used to justify the continued imposition of draconian measures. 

See also: ‘If the PCR Test Is Unreliable – Why Are Health Officials Demanding The Public Be Tested?’

Long Covid

The shift in focus is often justified by references to ‘long Covid’, long term damage caused by symptomatic SARS-CoV-2. The latest British long covid study with more than 4000 PCR-confirmed participants found that most people fully recovered within 12 days, about 15% had symptoms for at least four weeks, about 5% had symptoms for at least eight weeks, and about 2% had symptoms for at least 12 weeks, so really no different from flu.  There is no evidence that asymptomatic Covid-19 ‘cases’ suffer long-term damage.

Covid Response Measures Are a Self-Fulfilling Prophesy

The dangers to human life and well-being of closing down economies, health systems and freedom to move and socialise should be obvious to everyone – except, it seems, to politicians and bought-up scientists.  The harm being done is then used to justify imposition of further measures – take, for example, the inevitable consequences of ill-treatment of the elderly and mask mandates.

Elder Abuse

The cruel treatment being accorded the elderly has inevitably led inevitably to avoidable and miserable deaths, which are then recorded as ‘Covide’, or ‘with Covid’.   New York governor Andrew Cuomo moved more than 6,300 recovering coronavirus patients into vulnerable nursing homes; New York ended up with one of the highest nursing home death tolls in the country.   About half of New Zealand’s ‘with Covid’ deaths were of elderly patients from a secure dementia ward who suffered a traumatic move to a new institution, where they were deprived of contact with their loved ones.  Arguably death was then a blessed release, but it was the government that ensured the ‘blessedness’, and it was a wretched way to die.

See also: Conditions in Care Homes Are Barbaric

Masks

Mask mandates are perhaps the most obnoxious of all ‘covid response’ measures.   There are obvious social and psychological effects of course, not least the use of masks as a symbol of control and compliance.  Science is totally ignored: the long-standing assumptions that fresh air is better than stale air, that deprivation of oxygen to the brain is damaging, and lethal if absolute, are forgotten.  

‘The rebreathing of our exhaled air will without a doubt create oxygen deficiency and a flooding of carbon dioxide. […]  Oxygen deprivation damages every single organ.’ (Margarite Griesz-Brisson)

Aside from the question of fresh air, issues arise from the accumulation of bacteria, loose fibres and carcinogenic chemicals.  

‘I’m seeing patients that have facial rashes, fungal infections, bacterial infections. Reports coming from my colleagues, all over the world, are suggesting that the bacterial pneumonias are on the rise.’ (Dr. James Meehan)

Masks cause pulmonary infections, which can lead to pneumonia and death.  Bacterial pneumonia was the biggest killer in the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918, which killed at least 20 million people, according to some reports 50 million or more. It came in several waves, but the second wave was the deadliest.  Masks were mandated for the second wave, and they would have been  a contributing factor to the severity of that wave.

 It is inevitable that an increased incidence of pulmonary illness and a higher death toll from the wearing of masks will continue to be attributed to Covid-19.

Note: a conclusive relationship between mask/respirator use and protection against influenza infection has not been established,  but in any case the harm arising from imposing them on the general public will certainly be far greater than any perceived benefit.  (See also Denis Rancourt’s review of the science relating to mark effectiveness’) which led him to conclude that Masks Don’t Work.)

The Justification for Authoritarian ‘Covid Response’ Measures

Lockdowns are a nuclear bomb for public health (Lockdown Resistance)

In May 2009 the WHO removed the requirement of “enormous numbers of death and illness” for a pandemic to be declared.  This enabled the relatively mild Swine flu to be labeled a pandemic a few weeks later, and for the pharmaceutical companies to make a killing, as it were, on the Swine Flu vaccine before it was pulled as being too dangerous.  The ‘Swine Flu Pandemic’ is regarded as a hoax and is only of interest now from the view of court cases and pay-outs.

The justification for the designation to be applied to SARS-CoV-2 is equally thin. Estimates of the lethality of SARS-CoV-2 continue to drop, and there is no evidence that it constitutes a greater threat than a serious flu at worst – the covid-19 mortality profile is almost identical to natural mortality, even without taking into account the huge inflation of death statistics by authorities including any death with the remotest connection to SARS-CoV-2 as a Covid death.

‘A patient who has tested positive, but successfully treated and discharged from hospital, will still be counted as a COVID death even if they had a heart attack or were run over by a bus three months later. (Loke and Heneghan, Why no-one can ever recover from COVID-19 in England – a statistical anomaly)

Regardless of how the threat of the virus is evaluated, there are questions over whether the measures taken are effective or, if they were effective, whether the human cost is worth it (see Collateral Global,  a global repository for research into the collateral effects of the COVID-19 lockdown measures).  The IMF and World Bank have warned that ‘Covid lockdowns and economic recession may drag 100 million people into extreme poverty and set back poor nations by ten years’.  The extreme lockdown applied in Melbourne, Australia Victoria, led to more suicides than ‘covid deaths’.

Lockdown will come to be seen as a “monumental mistake on a global scale” and must never happen again. The equivalent of 400 million jobs have been lost world-wide, 13 million in the U.S. alone.  (Professor Mark Woolhouse, UK advisor on indectious diseases)

A study comparing American states that went into lockdown with those that did not shows that lockdown measures did not actually reduce deaths.

Yes, But Why?

‘The reason Bill Gates wants you to believe a Corona Virus will exterminate over 450 million people is that he hates nature, God, and you. (A subjective interpretation.)’ (Celia Farber)

Given the crimes against humanity that are being perpetrated in the name of an overstated ‘pandemic’, and the ruthless suppression of dissenting voices, no matter how numerous and authoritative, it is impossible that the Covid-19 narrative is being promoted out of humanitarianism.

One could argue that money alone is the root of this evil: the pharmaceutical companies will reap huge rewards from the vaccines; repeated lockdowns will ensure the demise of small businesses, who will be replaced by monopolies.  

However, the cruel measures being imposed in the name of ‘Covid’ are designed to cause enormous, irreparable damage to human health, morale, intellect, and individual sovereignty, thus weakening the bulk of humanity as a species and as a force.  This can only be to make humanity more controllable when the plan for global government by the elite, promoted by the United Nations for decades, comes to fruition. 

 

Appendix

Some reports from ‘Are Masks Effective: the Evidence’

3. Risks associated with face masks

Wearing masks for a prolonged period of time is not harmless, as the following evidence shows:

1. The WHO warns of various “side effects” such as difficulty breathing and skin rashes.
2. Tests conducted by the University Hospital of Leipzig in Germany have shown that face masks significantly reduce the resilience and performance of healthy adults.
3. A German psychological study with about 1000 participants found “severe psychosocial consequences” due to the introduction of mandatory face masks in Germany.
4. The Hamburg Environmental Institute warned of the inhalation of chlorine compounds in polyester masks as well as problems in connection with face mask disposal.
5. The European rapid alert system RAPEX has already recalled 70 mask models because they did not meet EU quality standards and could lead to “serious risks”.
6. In Germany, two 13-year-old children died suddenly while wearing a mask for a prolonged period of time; autopsies couldn’t exclude CO2 intoxication or a sudden cardiac arrest.
7. In China, several children who had to wear a mask during sports classes fainted and died; the autopsies found a sudden cardiac arrest as the probable cause of death.
8. In the US, a car driver wearing an N95 (FFP2) mask fainted and crashed into a pole.

On election night, 17 October, Labour won 64 seats out of 120, thereby having enough to govern alone, if the result stands after special votes are counted. In any case Labour’s preferred coalition partner, NZ Greens, currently on 10 seats, will certainly have enough MPs to enable Labour to govern, This represents a disaster for National, which was the largest party in Parliament after the 2017 election, but which failed to come to an agreement with king-maker Winston Peters of NZ First. Peters went into coalition with Labour and loyally supported Labour/Green Marxist policies while at the same time alienating NZ First voters, which meant an ignominious and probably final defeat for the party.

Labour clearly benefited from its handling of the global ‘covid crisis’. However, whether National chose the best strategy in confronting Labour’s advantage is questionable. Todd Muller, leader of the National Party from 22 May to 14 July 2020, declared in his maiden speech:

‘First and foremost, I’m about what’s best for you and your family – not what’s wrong with the Government.  I’m not interested in Opposition for Opposition’s sake. We’re all tired of that kind of politics.’

Which amounted to an announcement that National had no fundamental problems with Labour policy. While Muller himself was replaced in July by the more feisty Judith Collins, there was no noticeable change in strategy. All year, non-mainstream commentators have desperately tried to expose the more extreme policies of the Labour/Green partnership, in terms of:

• The numerous measures to undermine traditional property rights;
• Bribing of landowners to convert pasture to pine (just when China is planting up huge forests which will come on stream at the same time as New Zealand’s);
• Encouragement of foreign interests to buy up huge swathes of New Zealand farmland provided they convert it to forestry (inevitably monoculture pinus radiata);
• The child-abusive education policies, such as the curricula for Sexuality Education and Climate Change;
• The lack of a scientific basis for its zero carbon policy;
• The fact of the zero carbon policy being in breach of Article 2 of the Paris Accord, which specifically prohibits countries from restricting food producers;
• The lack of scientific basis for its panicked response to the Covid19 ‘pandemic’, for its mask mandate on public transport, and for its withdrawal of hydroxychloquine from the market;
• Refusal to acknowledge the economic consequences of the government’s cancellation of tourism, its policy to replace farming with forestry, and its aim to convert New Zealand to renewables;
• The determination to further the policies prescribed by the United Nations with total disregard for New Zealand’s interests.

Questioning the corporate narratives on either climate change or the ‘pandemic’ would entail declaring war on the corporate sponsors of those narratives, most obviously the Gates and Rockefeller foundations.  Any party who did this would, at the very least, be vilified mercilessly in the domestic and international press, and its leader compared to Donald Trump but there are other issues, however, that one might have expected that National could safely address, in fact had a duty to do so.  The National opposition, however, has steered clear of any major issues – its strategy strongly relied on being seen as a safe pair of hands. 

‘Strong’ leadership

This strategy depended on convincing the public that management of the ‘pandemic’ would have been handled at least as well by National, and that National was a safer pair of hands to manage the economy. At the same time National, like Labour, has been careful to avoid spelling out the extent of the looming economic crisis, which would raise questions of whether the lockdown was worth it and bring the heavens (or at least the corporate media) down upon the party.

Thus the National Party continued to keep clear of criticising the government on any fundamental issues.  So rather than exposing the false premise behind Jacinda Ardern’s ‘test, test, test’ strategy, that there is a test that actually works (probably too risky to mention that the virus hasn’t even been isolated), Collins preferred to make capital out of any perceived failures in ‘securing the borders’, and promise even more draconian measures to combat the dreaded virus.

National’s boldest policy was its agricultural policy, which proposed to modify the provisions of the Zero Carbon Act which affected farmers. The policy also removed the exemption that streamlines the process for forestry applications in the Overseas Investment Office. However National did not campaign on the government’s pasture to pine policies. So when I raised the issue at a candidates meeting in Ohariu, NZ First minister Tracey Martin was able to point to Pan Pac, given permission by Environment Minister Eugenie Sage to buy 20,000 hectares, as a ‘New Zealand company as it already did business in NZ (so why did it have to be given special permission?). There was no attempt from the Ohariu candidate Brett Hudson to query this ridiculous claim, or to ask whether the European aristocrats who have also been able to buying up land on this basis were also ‘NZ companies’, or to address the principle. Incidentally, the effect of the agricultural policy was to put itself in competition with ACT, its natural partner, which had garnered huge support in the rural sector when sole ACT MP David Seymour voted against the Zero Carbon Bill.

National also committed itself to repealing the Resource Management Act, but the stated aim of this policy was to facilitate development – the party did not set out to make an issue of the provisions in the Act which are being used to undermine property rights, nor the Urban Development Act which allows the compulsory purchase of private homes for development. Nb: the founding objectives of the National Party were stated as:

‘To promote good citizenship and self-reliance; to combat communism and socialism; to maintain freedom of contract; to encourage private enterprise; to safeguard individual rights and the privilege of ownership; to oppose interference by the State in business, and State control of industry.

National founding principles, therefore, are in direct conflict with the policies of Karl Marx, the UN and the NZ Labour/Green partnership to to eliminate property rights of homeowners.

Regardless of outcome, National’s strategy was deeply worrying to many of Labour’s critics. Even if it worked, and National gained the Treasury benches and maybe rolled back some of Labour’s more obnoxious measures, little or none of the Labour/Green agenda to serve global Marxism (including a massive transfer wealth upwards and ultimately global government), would be exposed. After a couple of terms the public would inevitably get bored and, still unaware of some vital issues, vote Labour/Greens back in, to pick up where they left off.

WHAT can we do to stop our MPs lying their heads off? 

At a meeting in Ohariu last night I directed a question at the representatives from the parties in government, thus NZ First’s Tracey Martin, Labour local MP Greg O’Connor and the Green candidate, John Ranta.

‘The New Zealand sex education curriculum turns small children into sexual beings, strongly promotes gender stereotypes, and forces children from the age of five to see gender dysphoria and and transition as natural and desirable. Will you support the inevitable move to extend the programme to early education?’

When pressed for further detail I explained that children are actively and repeatedly encouraged to see gender transition as a viable option and that ‘by the age of about nine children are invited to imagine waking to find that their gender has changed’.

First Greg O’Connor and then Tracey Martin, who as Minister of Education was involved in developing the programme, flatly denied that the Sexuality Curriculum groomed children for gender transition, or that children were invited to imagine that their gender had changed.  The curriculum was completely age-appropriate and anything to do with gender was purely to encourage tolerance.  (The Green candidate was open about knowing little of the syllabus.)

What the text says

‘Encourage students to recognise that some people’s biological sex is different to their gender identity. For example somebody born with a penis may identity as a girl’ (Years 1-2, section “Gender Roles”, in which ‘Students will describe themselves in relation to their gender’ and ‘Students will explore diverse gender roles’ ).

Gender diversity is again explored in detail in Years 3-4, in Theme 2, and is referred to also in Theme 4, thus gender diversity is addressed in years 1, 3 and 4.  In year 5, when children are about nine:

Development
Have the students make themselves comfortable in small groups. Ask the students to use their imaginations and consider the following scenario: Imagine waking up one morning and discovering that your gender has changed.  What that would that be like?  Allocate two questions per group for the students to discuss:

• How would your life be the same? How would it be different?
• Would any of your ambitions change?
• What could be some negatives about living with this “new” gender?
• What could be some positives about living with this “new” gender?
• Do you think people would treat you differently?
• What couldn’t you do anymore?
• What would you be able to do that you may not have been able to yesterday?
• What would you need to learn?
• How would you be expected to dress?
• If you looked different but were exactly the same on the inside, would you still fit in with your friends and family?
• Are the expectations for genders the same? Or are there different expectations?
• If you looked different but were exactly the same on the inside, would you still fit in with your friends and family?
• Are the expectations for genders the same? Or are there different expectations?
• How do you suppose it feels to be transgender? What are the expectations if you are transgender? Discuss any stereotypes or challenges associated with growing up.
(Years 5-6, Theme 2, so year 5)

Tracey Martin, Minister of Education told the meeting that she was closely involved with the development of the syllabus and knew it well.  Thus Martin’s authoritative claim that there was no such provision for small children to be instructed to ‘Imagine waking up one morning and discovering that your gender has changed’ has to be seen as knowingly false.  Greg O’Connor probably had no idea what was in the syllabus, but under pressure his instinctive response was flat denial.

Note: Tracey Martin, as Minister of Education would also have been responsible for the equally manipulative Climate Change syllabus.
