| Tim Lynch: Awakening NZ Farmers & Ethical Doctors - Push back NZ Government - And Media Silence | 29 Jul 2021 | 00:59:47 | |
Never has New Zealand been so divided as of now - not since the ‘racially selected’ white South African rugby tour of NZ of 1981. This was when thousands of very courageous New Zealanders, especially the young, in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s donned crash helmets, padded clothing and made wooden shields and went into battle for the black and coloured South African’s. Who could never vote or represent their country. These principled NZers went against the Conservative ‘National’ Government of the time and were prepared to blockade rugby stadiums around the country. This was a battle for justice and the right for self determination due to people being judged by the colour of one's skin. With this week’s show Tim started off with greeting all breathers out there across Auckland's greater region and further out within the teaming biosphere of our sacred planet - where he mentions that all animals, trees, plankton and humans - share the one breath - as of this moment. Stating that we are immersed in momentous times - all of us - and we are unknowing of the outcome … Saying - that he sincerely wishes you all well as we revitalise ourselves for the future that we didn’t plan on - but intuitively many knew could come to us - in one way or another. We are the 5% of this planet's awakening population that could be far more than 7% or even 10% of people engaged in this Great Awakening. With 7.8 billion souls sharing the invisible breath during this time - he said we must remember that we have been given a free body in which to live and he trusts - prosper and experience moments of joy - which is our birthright. As you very well know we as a humanity are realising that we have to come together in ‘unity consciousness’ to create a new way of breaking out of the hypnosis that MainStream Media has used to capture our mind, close down our heart and in some clever ways - control our very thought process. We are surrounded in possibilities The imperative for us at this moment on this magnificent planet - we call home - is to realise that we are all surrounded in possibilities, and that we must start with our inner self and make sure that every thought and every word stated and each action we take is going to make us - at heart - a more honest, courageous and forthright human being that at soul level resonates with service to the greater good. Service to self in these times is not an option. Yes, many of us are even challenged by our family members - so if you find yourself at odds with your family - still keep your love strong for them and our neighbours in the neighbourhood and community that we live in. Becoming Aware ASAP Education and sharing of empowering knowledge is more than important - it is imperative - if we are to gain a foothold in the narrative that has been censored by MSM and has kept our citizens in the dark Note that there is a chance that GreenplanetFM could find itself de platformed and taken down - like the hundreds of thousands overseas - due to the controlling hitech corporates in Silicon valley and beyond - wanting to interrupt our narrative that questions not only their ethics and motives - but also why are they stifling free speech?. New Zealand’s Birthright is Free Speech Fortunately coming from New Zealand where free speech is a foundation stone of our country and as long as it is not slanderous and obscene or extolls acts of violence - GreenplanetFM.com will always be able to broadcast - even as in the case of an interview with Lynda Wharton, a natural healer here in Auckland being taken down and deleted by YouTube - we trust that we will continue to freely express ourselves as we work to emancipate humanity from the malaise that has fallen over a large percentage of our world. Planetary Power Struggle of Freedom and democracy - versus Control However - Tim draws our attention as we explore the deeper implications of losing the importance of our freedoms and he reiterates that there’s a planetary power struggle happening that has been going 24/7 - silently in the back ground - as certain power players wield their influence over an unsuspecting humanity - we, who have been doing our best to survive, have a family, work to finance ourselves and have time off for rest and recreation and learn what it is to be human. This too was covered to a degree in last week's excellent interview on GreenplanrtFM.com - of Joe Rifici - who talked about many of these main points. Saying that his power game is known by those like myself who have been quietly researching the ‘pyramid of power’ for 45 years - a structure that basically the elite occupy - and at all levels of power - from the apex at the top to virtually the bottom of this pyramid. I give you one guess as to where we are, in this structure. Yes, the great mass of humanity, the 90% plus - we ordinary citizens - are at the bottom, holding up this multi layered bloated structure that we are financially indebted to … and that syphons off money from us to feed them all - further up the system. However - their corrupted system is coming apart - it can no longer sustain them for much longer - because we have come to a limit of growth - we have reached multiple tipping points be it environmental, economic and societal. Plus, ‘we are waking to their game …’ As you very well intuit our whole way of life within the biosphere is now under threat and I ask you what country on earth has a government of integrity and is loved by its people? This is where we have come to - as a humanity. Our elected representatives of all political parties have run away with their own agenda and in many ways - not listening to us - have gone rogue. With a global population of 7.8 billion souls, yes souls - we have become too many for them to control - and … wait for it - there are too many of us awakening at the same time as more and more conscious researchers and activists are calling out truthfully - that - Covid has been deployed - yes that’s right - deployed to take down the global public to more manageable numbers. The horror is - that we are learning that there is a depopulation agenda being actively pushed. Why are the Governments especially in the Western Hemisphere in lockstep in wanting all of us, including children to be vaccinated before the year is out? Where on this planet are children going down with Covid? The stats say that all children have a 99.99% recovery rate. Yet - the vaccination is actually the greater problem by far - because it is not a vaccination - but an injection. Tim then states - Now as you listen to me dear listeners I am communicating to you today - from my heart - there is no anger being transmitted - Please note this. What I am asking New Zealanders is this - how many babies have had covid? How many infants, children, teenagers and twenty somethings? These apparently are not vulnerable groups and have never been. The vulnerable people are those my age in their 70s, 80s and 90’s - who have immune systems that are tired, due to possibly eating factory or industrial food, and drinking chlorinated and quite possibly fluoridated water, with little sunshine and little to not enough exercise.Are lonely and lack social support and love. No wonder the elderly are susceptible. Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine and Zinc - Work But to get to the point - it’s a straight out fact that ivermectin is a proven safe alternative that is exceptionally cheap - as it is not Patented and cannot be turned into a cash cow for any corporations. Note that in the Dominican Republic just recently - 6,000 people were treated with Ivermectin — but as MSM does not know where the Dominican Republic is - they ignore this struggling but resourceful island nation in the Caribbean. https://dominicantoday.com/dr/covid-19/2020/09/29/doctors-cure-6000-patients-with-covid-19-with-ivermectin/ Most remarkable is this statistic on Ivermectin used as prophylaxis. In a randomised, controlled trial of prophylaxis in hospital staff in Argentina, it yielded a 100% protection against covid19. If ivermectin was taken, no one developed the illness. Don’t you agree it should be made available immediately?? Please share this with everyone you know. It’s without question one of the ways to end this absurd tyranny. Dr Mike Yeadon Ps: ivermectin has been used in over 3,000,000,000 (3 billion) doses all over the world & it has a remarkable safety profile. It’s on the WHO’s list of Essential Medicines. Not to use this is corrupt. https://rumble.com/vjbmg7-the-case-for-ivermectin-craig-kelly-mp.html https://therealnews.nz/2021/06/05/has-the-nz-government-been-duped-by-big-pharma/ However - there is also hydroxy chloroquine and zinc as well - that the NZ government for some unknown reason stopped it being sold on the 24th of March 2020 - just 4 days before our country wide lockdown - what a coincidence … Note that it is often difficult to find these links again on the web. https://pharmac.govt.nz/news-and-resources/covid19/covid-19-hydroxychloroquine/ Note that Pharmac does its best to not want to know how good hydroxychloriquine and zinc is. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/coronavirus/120796969/coronavirus-demand-high-for-game-changer-drug-amid-caution-and-optimism Do you see how we are being constantly duped? However we are having courageous doctors of conscience from many, many countries coming together and speaking out about this Covid narrative and even here in NZ stout hearted ‘conscious’ doctors around 60 of them - have put out an SOS to the Government and people calling for an immediate halt to all injections - they have contacted our Government to cease this injection roll out - but have been ignored. Tell me listeners - would 60 doctors know far more about human health than opportunist career politicians? Do you hear this call by these astute and brave doctors? - we have to stop these injections - because it is not a vaccine - as vaccines are supposed to have part of the disease in it that we are inoculating for. Note that as of today, Covid has not even been isolated. I repeat not even isolated - so what we have in the injection is mRNA and other adjuvants - that due to secrecy and patents that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation have locked away - we are not allowed to know. So here we have a so-called global pandemic that could wipe out hundreds of millions if not more and the US Government has given multiple billions of dollars to Big PHARMA corporations to manufacture vaccines and on top of this allowing these corporations to ride the pigs back and make many billions more. Tell me the name of a compassionate corporation … there is none - they do not exist - they are here to extract anything out of everything - with virtually zero social conscience. However, because American taxpayers paid for this vaccine why should it be patented? - but the secret is - that the corporations do not want humanity to know what’s in the injection - that in fact there is graphene oxide in it - plus other adjuvants - what is an adjuvant? Note that honest doctors will see that the contents of this injection is a poison… and this was found when in Spain researchers were able to obtain a good number of phials and using high powered microscopes were able to ascertain that the contents were Graphene Oxide - a known poison. Meanwhile MSM went into full gear practicing damage control, and did their dastardly best to smother the story … https://rumble.com/vjoqlr-phizer-vaccine-seems-to-be-99.9-graphene-oxide-and-more-tests-are-scheduled.html https://chemicalviolence.com/2021-07-14-spanish-study-pfizer-vaccine-toxic-graphene-oxide.html Here in New Zealand - MEDSAFE a Governmental Department - has previously asked Pfizer - 58 questions - even to what is in this so-called vaccine? That the injection is still in its trial period - it usually takes about 7 years to establish safety. - and now Medsafe has rolled over - even though the FDA Food and Drug Administration in the US has not given the all clear as to the safety of this insertion of molecules - of what we know nothing about - into the sacredness of our bodies. So dear reader, it is regrettable those who have believed the big Pharma propaganda - that’s been amplified by mainstream media with Politicians singing in chorus - that those who have taken the ‘shot’ are now an experiment. A walking and sleeping - experiment, that no one on this planet knows what will be the outcome. Video Audio Played Tim then plays an interview of a South African doctor Dr Charles Hoffe who has been practicing medicine for 28 years in the small, rural town of Lytton in British Columbia, Canada and he has administered about 900 doses of the Moderna experimental mRNA injection and is now coming forward to warn as many people as he can about the severe reactions he’s observed in his patients, including death. This resulted in his being fired from his job at the local hospital. Naturally as any doctor who follows the Hippocratic oath would do - he stopped and realised too late what he had done and is now exposing what he has found out because he cares and has a conscience. https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/how-the-jab-works-why-it-causes-blood-clots-at-a-microscopic-level/ The Interviewer was Laura Lynn starts with: Dr Charles Hoffe has been practicing medicine for 28 years in the small, rural town of Lytton in British Columbia, Canada and he has administered about 900 doses of the Moderna experimental mRNA injection and is now coming forward to warn about the severe reactions he’s observed in his patients, including death. This resulted in his being fired from his job at the local hospital. He tells host Laura Lynne that the core problem he’s seeing among these patients is microscopic clots in his patients’ tiniest capillaries, of which Clif High has commented, “Blood clots occurring at a capillary level. This has never before been seen. This is not a rare disease. This is an absolutely new phenomenon.” Dr Hoffe explains that these micro-clots are too small to show up on CT scans, MRI, etc and can only be detected using the D-dimer test, of which 62% of his own patients injected with an mRNA shot are positive. “We now know that only 25% of the ‘vaccine’ injected into a person’s arm actually stays in your arm. The other 75% is collected by your lymphatic system and literally fed into your circulation so these little packages of messenger RNA, and by the way in a single dose of Moderna ‘vaccine’ there are literally 40 trillion mRNA molecules. These packages are designed to be absorbed into your cells. But the only place they can be absorbed is around your blood vessels and the place where they are absorbed is the capillary networks – the tiniest blood vessels where the blood flow slows right down and where the genes are released. Your body then gets to work reading and then manufacturing trillions and trillions of these spike proteins. Each gene can produce many, many spike proteins. The body then recognises these are foreign bodies so it makes antibodies against it so you are then protected against COVID. That’s the idea. “But here’s where the problem comes. In a coronavirus, that spike protein becomes part of the viral capsule. In other words it becomes part of the cell wall around the virus. But it is not in a virus. It is in your cells. So it becomes part of the cell wall of your vascular endothelium. This means that these cells which line your blood vessels, which are supposed to be smooth so that your blood flows smoothly now have these little spikey bits sticking out… “So it is absolutely inevitable that blood clots will form because your blood platelets circulate round your blood vessels, and the purpose of blood platelets is to identify damaged vessels and stop bleeding. So, when the platelet comes through the capillary it suddenly hits all these COVID spikes and it becomes absolutely inevitable that blood clots will form to block that vessel. “Therefore, these spike proteins can predictably cause blood clots. They are in your blood vessels (if mRNA ‘vaccinated’) so it is guaranteed. Dr Bahrdi then said to me that the way to prove this is to do a blood test called a D-dimer blood test. “The blood clots we hear about which the media claim are very rare are the big blood clots which are the ones that cause strokes and show up on CT scans, MRI, etc. The clots I’m talking about are microscopic and too small to find on any scan. They can thus only be detected using the D-dimer test… “The most alarming part of this is that there are some parts of the body like the brain, spinal cord, heart and lungs which cannot regenerate. When those tissues are damaged by blood clots they are permanently damaged.” The result, says Dr Hoffe, is that these patients have what is termed Reduced Effort Tolerance (RET) which means they get out of breath much more easily than they used to. It is because the blood vessels in their lungs are now blocked up. In turn, this causes the heart to need to work harder to try to keep up against a much greater resistance trying to get the blood through your lungs. This is called pulmonary artery hypertension – high blood pressure in the lungs because the blood simply cannot get through effectively. People with this condition usually die of heart failure within a few short years. Dr Hoffe warns sadly, “These shots are causing huge damage and the worst is yet to come.” Note that this interview does not include Graphene Oxide - which Spanish researches age they found, in numerous Covid Vaccine phials that they managed to purloin. See Dr Jane Ruby on - www.StewPeters.tv Tim furthers his critique of what is going on. You see we must be brutally clear - Corporations are ruling the world. They have no conscience … Tell me of a kind one? They due to their enormity are controlling more and more Government’s globally at the behest of an agenda higher up the pyramid.. The USA once seen as the bastion of life, liberty and freedom has been on the ropes for many decades now. This is due to insidious corruption, infiltration, blackmail and wars - however, it has always been dabbling in changes of Government even before the Second World War, especially in its control of South America - but there has always been corruption there. Note, that president John Kennedy could not stop this and has since been taken over by both Neo cons and more recently by an insidious infiltration of dark money, bribery, blackmail and extortion. See the movie Eyes Wide Shut, that got the producer Stanley Kubrick eliminated for the exposure of how the dark does its capture of innocent but financially well healed prominent people. You can also see the Will Smith, John Voigt movies Enemy of the State that is 25 years old now that will show what they were able to do then - and where they are today - who knows? But if you love your kids you had better get your gluteus maximus up and into action. Just recently we witnessed the latest version of shadow corruption by elite blackmailer Jeffrey Epstein of certain elements of the elite and his notorious aircraft the Lolita express to Orgy Island in the Caribbean - and how he was quietly delivered out of prison and his deeds of his deceitful sleazy business ventures, hidden and swept from the headlines of news papers, TV and radio media. All aided and abetted by what we have found out is the crooked Department of Justice in the USA and by ‘gate keeping’ Alphabet agencies like the CIA and FBI that control all the nodal points in Washington and indeed have insiders in the 5 Eyes intercept and listening outpost that NZ has found itself enmeshed and embedded in. So we are seeing ourselves in an extremely corrupted world. Tim read out this letter by the NZ doctors to the NZ public and Government www.nzdsos.com This below is a public letter penned by Ethical and honest Doctors to the NZ Government and the Health Department to halt the injection into the unsuspecting NZ public - which as of today Thursday, 5th August there have been over 60 people die shortly after taking that injection. Deaf to the Deaths Jul 22, 2021 Fellow Kiwis, this is a post that we have worried we would need to write, once the evidence of death and serious injury from ‘the Pfizer’ became clear enough, and we could receive confirmation from various sources. That time is now. Everything that follows is the truth, as best as we can uncover it in these sinister times, from reports made to us and from our own investigations. Many concerned, passionate and courageous “ordinary heroes” who are exhausted yet tireless, scared yet redoubtable, and furious yet focused are DETERMINED to rescue our beautiful country and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts. Like us at NZDSOS they probably never imagined in a million years they would be cast into this situation. Perhaps Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago should have been required reading at our schools. Thankfully, many Kiwis do talk to each other when bad things happen, and they are talking to us now. Get ready for the tragic consensus. We believe the toll of dead and injured is at least an order of magnitude greater than we are being told. Yes that’s 10x more, so rather than the couple of dead people the gov grudgingly tells might just be related, out of the dozen or so death reports only the government claims to have received, we say that at least 40 human beings have died already, often suddenly and unexpectedly, suspiciously close to their vaccination. We know of another 80 ‘probables and possibles’ where there is not yet enough information on timing etc. Most of these cases are close enough that a proper investigation MUST be carried out, as befits the clinical trial that all recipients are part of. However, some uncertainties exist of course, not least due to the forces apparently pre-aligned against proper reporting. Absolutely, some of these cases could turn out to be unrelated, but we know that few will be investigated properly, if at all, and not least because ACC could be bankrupt overnight if the truth emerged, and the streets would be seething. Utes blocking our cities? You ain’t seen nothing. Many of the injured feel fobbed-off but angry and are shooting videos and photos. What has really struck us in following up these reports is the climate of fear of speaking up amongst the shocked and bereaved, and this is present in society generally. We would never disclose private details unless asked of course, and many reports are made by concerned friends and family without the knowledge of close relatives. This is unsurprising given the control and suppression of social and intellectual discourse these days in favour of a single narrative. Social media has been so weaponised that bereaved parents might even continue to recommend vaccination, out of the dread of losing their last remaining links to their support groups and a desperate need for their sacrifice to the greater good to be validated. All this whilst at their most vulnerable and raw. Human psychology laid painfully bare… Based on the huge numbers of post vaccine deaths reported in the US, EU and UK (now over 30,000), it is frankly ridiculous to imagine that our ‘vaccine trial team of 5 million’ would not have to offer up it’s own casualties to Pfizer et al, so by extrapolation we would have expected at least 20 deaths so far, and have been warning the media, government and all MPs of this from the start. In fact, as we write this a lawsuit has been filed against the CDC by an insider who claims a dramatic suppression of the true number, more likely 45,000, this in the US alone. If accurate, and Hipkins has his way, then several hundreds of dead Kiwis – and thousands of seriously harmed – will give lie to the words safe and effective. Remember we are doctors and have taken oaths, we have not made this stuff up. You couldn’t anyway. It appears that the unwillingness and inability to investigate any deaths was baked into this rotten cake months ago. From the get-go, the CDC in the US knew that serious harms and deaths would result, and so Medsafe would have been aware. Tenders to software companies by the UK government before their roll-out PROVED that it was expecting an avalanche of serious effects that would cause existing on-line systems to collapse. This is all now public domain information. In fact our politicians and ‘vaccinologists’, with zero training in forensic pathology but expertise only in cheerleading this particular vaccine come hell or high water, and with apparent superpowers of foresight and X-Ray vision, are stating that deaths are unrelated, sometimes after only a few unseemly days. Their apparent certainty is nauseating and extremely offensive. They are like a truculent child who screws its eyes shut to deny to itself that the milk is even spilt. It is doubtful that enough timely post mortems can happen to inform rapid inquests to prove absolute causation and call a halt, given the very convenient shortage of pathologists and coroners. We have been told, and directly experienced, that our monitoring systems are overwhelmed and underfunded. The Centre for Adverse Reaction Monitoring (CARM) is overloaded, and Healthline has written urgently to MOH to report the unanticipated volume of reactions being reported. No reply so far, but this is our experience too of the Ministry of the Only Source of Truth. What to do with this death and injury info? Well, if the media was in any way our proper fourth estate, they would be educating and informing, and demanding accountability. But, it no longer ‘leads if it bleeds’ – or clots either. Sadly, even recently sympathetic commercial radio has been brought back into line. Our lawyers confirm we are absolutely entitled and morally compelled to raise an alarm so that those paid to respond may feel obligated to investigate, or dismiss the information at least. This is hard factual data that requires the time of day from our bureaucrats and professionals. The morally corrupt and deniers will cry “Conjecture, innuendo, smears, half truths!”; perhaps we are trying to scupper the imminent super-vaxer stadium event in Auckland, of up to 15, 000 of our young, or the inaugural schools roll-out intended for Whanganui, to greet them next week after their holiday. How many of these kids will be first told that the vaccine has killed over 30 000 people around the world, but true numbers will never be known. That the vaccine does not stay in the arm, as our leaders lied ridiculously, but concentrates in the ovaries, brain, heart, bone marrow etc. This may mean nothing, or a very nasty something. We just don’t know, THERE IS NO DATA but we have our suspicions. As do the government have their suspicions…. …. that paramedics may need to follow up or report vaccine injuries, so are prevented from doing so …. that hospital docs might need to access the vaccine record database to deal with blood clots or other cases, so this is made difficult for them …. that there are conscientious concerned hospital workers, so should be dobbed in on a confidential phone line ….. that people may ask doctors if their stroke, heart attack or other illness, or their loved one’s death is related, so the Medical Council commands that we parrot the “Safe and Effective “ mantra, hoping we will get in behind, abandon informed consent, look away, and not function as society’s early warning system for this experimental gene therapy. ….and finally that doctors may be compelled to speak out. So we are, and by sending confidential messages and speaking to us directly, so are many others. We are grateful to them, and to the public, the paramedics, nurses, allied health and admin staff in the health system, and emergency and frontline and military workers who are all bearing witness. Shame on everyone involved in pushing this illegal, unethical, experimental and frankly lethal injection, with some seeming bizarre and undisclosed properties, especially into children and pregnant women! Doctors, start thinking for yourselves again, are you in a trance? But the usual mantra is that the hypnotised do not do things that contravene an important moral principle. Maybe that is crap? So come on Hipkins, and the rest of you also behaving like unreconstructed power-drunk autocrats, instead of threatening us all, like the line you crossed on July 10 2021, with forced injections, “by any means necessary”, like some Stalinist or Nazi jackbooted thug, please do the job we pay you for, open your eyes and look around, and reject the orders that have already killed some of us, no matter what the inducements offered to you or threats made.. And if you don’t, along with your attack dogs in the media and the apocryphal ‘good people standing by doing nothing’, may you look into your childrens’ eyes and never have a restful night’s sleep again. Come on Kiwis. Bloody wake up. Oh, and please check out International Ivermectin Day online on July 24 to learn how we can get our old lives back if authorities were actually serious about ending this situation. So there we have it - the 60 or so NZ doctors who follow the hippocratic oat - first do not harm. https://nzdsos.com/2021/07/22/deaf-to-the-deaths/?fbclid=IwAR0FJXpkQ3ddBKQafNFYDvps8S7OJyMoWLr8gyv9qnX4bWjRLHY_oH8zvOw So there we have it - if anyone has a medical emergency - you would beg any one of these medical doctors take over and save your loved ones - but when you have politicians doing the bidding of their overlords Big Pharma and the drug, note drug corporations - our do as you are told politicians tow the party line - bowing to pressure all the politicians our rogue servants kowtow to their bosses of their respective party machines. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/bombshell-lawsuit-govt-whistleblower-says-coronavirus-vaccine-deaths-at-least-45000 Then Tim talks about our country cousins in the rural regions and sectors. Especially, with regard to what is rolling out across the rural areas of NZ and what will impact them and eventually end up in all villages, towns and cities of Aotearoa, New Zealand. This is, the unheralded and for most - the secretive deployment into the rural sector (because few have fast internet speeds) - the United Nations Agenda21 and 2030. If you go to www.aag.org.nz (Agricultural Action Group) and go to the link and download the fine print of what that Agenda actually is - and it's a 352 page document - that covers every aspect of our lives - healthcare, education - that stock takes every single living being and resource and mineral on the planet - so that they can control it. You start to get the picture, because we have not been consulted or involved. That they, the top of the Pyramid of power - want to eradicate that which is not sustainable - and that is - the private ownership of land. i.e farming - private ownership of motor vehicles, roading, irrigation, ski fields, golf courses - even the family unit - in their eyes is listed as unsustainable. That this is something that they want to eradicate. So once we read the fine print we become aware of where our Government is taking us - she says that the insane legislation that is crippling our agricultural sector - starts to make sense. The Deputy Prime Minister showed his colours and dug himself into a hole of his own making earlier this year. In this interview, we also hear that no politician in NZ's Parliament is mentioning Agenda21 and Agenda2030 - or the Great Reset - Why? Because they are gagged from breaking ranks - (Mum's the word). When in February of this year we had the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance walk out of a radio interview on radio Magics Talk Show - with well known national TV news reader and sports host Peter Williams. on: https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2021/02/the-great-reset-grant-robertson-pulls-out-of-weekly-slot-on-magic-talk-with-peter-williams-after-shooting-down-conspiracy-theory. Then this very well known broadcaster Peter Williams was accused of being a conspiracy theorist ¦ Listen ¦ Follow this link and you will find that the Deputy PM has created for himself an untenable situation. Because he actually went to the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos in Switzerland, with the Prime Minister in 2019. Follow this link to the World Economic Forum and you hear Prince Charles being used to front a 2 minute video focusing on the degradation of the global environment. The same environment that sustains us all and that all the corporations of the world have either contributed to destroying or let happen on their watch. The World Economic Forum and their financially powerful media machine are now using this cloak off respectability of telling us how they are going to save us all - they want to punish humanity for the situation we are now in, by imposing (a much needed clean up operation) - but have factored humanity out of being helpers and educated participants™ in this equation). They are now going it alone with their top down ideological plan. https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/finance-minister-travels-davos-world-economic-forum-brussels-and-london What comes through in this radio discourse is that our politicians lie and because they have a compliant and obedient mainstream media, (who - according to Heather Meri - have been paid off with a $125 million grant) Have closed ranks and do not criticise the NZ Government anymore. Therefore a great percentage of NZ citizens do not hear or read of these lies. Note - if a country of 5 million people can have their communications system paid off with $125 million. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JB9-uL9o-w VIDEO The great reset - 4 minutes https://rumble.com/vkazvv-graphen-dance.html 1 minute Plus, this planned addition of the Great Reset that the World Economic Forum from Davos in Switzerland is going to superimpose over our planet and civilisation. Is real and it is coming soon with no fan fare from our Government where in Wellington. This new economic model will cover every survival contingency regarding the well being of the 7.8 billion souls on this planet, including all biota within the biosphere. In closing this very important interview - I wish to emphasise that we as an individual, a family, community, region and as a country can rise to the occasion - as a heart felt unifying spirit of cooperating people. We are now starkly realising that there is a stealthy global control game being enacted - to lock us as a humanity down. Over the last few decades we have been gradually dumbed down by the media - and an education system that teaches us not to question - or to be curious and to wonder! All you have to do is listen to the inane news every hour on all the talkback and music stations NZ wide to hear - 3 minutes of drivel as the saying goes. This can be noticed with Mains Stream Media - with the younger generation not reading a newspaper - be it local or national - or watching the news with TVNZ and TV3 parroting virtually the same continuous rhetoric. We have found ourselves drowning in the semi - censored swamp of sameness. With a media that takes in feeds from overseas that are all multinational corporations pushing the same lockstep agenda. The churches have failed us too - Christianity has taken a major hit in this country just like other western countries, because they virtually bore people to death, with leaders who appear so disconnected to Christ. By failing to call a halt on corrupt practices and stand up for justice. Sadly, you can see this today with near vacant churches across the country. Yet from most religious accounts - we are spiritual beings having an earth experience - that we are far more than we ever thought possible.

| Rob Wilson: Farmers across NZ Protest Government Regulations, Non Consulting, Water Rights, Land Grabs | 22 Jul 2021 | 00:59:48 | |
NZ Farmers are pushing back against bureaucratic Government and Local Council regulators (especially land grabs) due to no open communication, or open meetings and sharing of information and genuine consultation. Rob sees the farming sector throughout rural NZ being challenged like never before. Yes, there is water pollution, chemicals on the land, (huge stocking numbers - Corporate farms) and health issues that need to be continually addressed. However, what farmers have been experiencing though is escalating Governmental regulations, plus local Council intrusions into their lives by a hive of unknown bureaucrat regulators pushing an agenda, that in many ways is - one size fits all. The United Nations Agenda21 and Agenda2030. This adds to the recent GreenplanetFM.com - interview of Heather Meri Pennycook - where we cover many of the same issues - but worded differently, especially the expanding nation wide push back that continues to grow, via Groundswell, but with a very defined focus. Yet, what’s getting under the ‘farming sectors’ skin is the extreme lack of face to face consultation and communication. especially the sharing of information at local gatherings, town hall meetings and villages. For the farmers it’s just more paperwork, and compliance. Like the Emperors of the past exacting tribute from the peasants and having an intermediary, the Governor collects taxes and that one follow ‘dictats’ - without human contact and open discussions. This has resulted in the Groundswell uprising and farm tractors descending on villages, towns and cities across NZ with a follow up statement that this will occur again mid August if the Govt and local Councils do not front up. Yes, it’s about the pace of change - on the back of climate change - increasing storms, encroaching sea levels and weather*events but it’s being run by bureaucrats - who have no skin in the game - with no financial risk involved making demands on a map somewhere. Plus, most bureaucrats have never been out in stormy cold weather - in the wind and the rain, helping cows calve or sheep stuck in a drain, or dealing with a flood, fallen trees etc etc. Yet it’s about SNA’s. What is an SNA? SNA stands for Significant Natural Area and they are becoming important whichever way you look at them. Forest and Bird says they are "New Zealand's most important remnants of native habitat - places where rare or threatened plants or animals are still found". However after the signing of the United Nations Rio’ Agreement in 1992 - NZ committed to Agenda 21 and more lately, Agenda2030 - so as to impel environmental and ecological change by 2030. Hence the ’so-called’ hurry’. However the fine print and the detail is all hidden in plain sight. Like the 17 United Nations sustainability development goals - they look and sound wonderful - we are going to eradicate poverty and have equality - have a sustainable future and look after our environment. But, if you go to www.aag.org.nz - and download the fine print of what that Agenda actually is - and it’s a 352 page document - it virtually covers every aspect of our lives - healthcare, education - and a stock take every single living being and resource and mineral on the planet - so that ‘they’ can ‘stock take’ everything thing - eventually right across our country - and more and more are saying - control it. https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/rosa-koire-agenda-2030-is-totalitarian-takeover/ From your reading you will see that the Agenda wants to eradicate that which is not sustainable - and that is - the private ownership of land. i.e. farming - private ownership of motor vehicles, roading, irrigation, ski fields, golf courses - even the family unit - in their eyes is listed as unsustainable. That this is something that ‘bureaucrats’ want to eradicate. So once we read the fine print we become aware of where our Government is taking us, Be it National or Labour (Greens) - that due to no consultation that this ‘unconscious’ legislation is crippling our agricultural sector - starts to make sense. That everyone has to do their own research - bypassing Google and using Duckduckgo.com because if you are not aware of what’s in the fine print - and you learn this for the very first time - it will sound quite bazaar - so the imperative is for all NZers to see what is being planned for our future - and if you are a parent - your children’s future. (and that you have been cut out of the dialogue with zero say). Note, that anyone who criticises the Govt narrative is deemed by the Govt as a ‘conspiracy theorist’ - however when you read the fine print you realise that this is ‘not theory.’ On the AAG.org.nz web site you can see the video for yourself of the NZ Prime Minister stating that this Labour Government is going to carry out all the contingencies of the Agenda2030. Plus the link to the UN Agenda document. Many NZ farmers, contrary to common belief, are not farming for the money - it’s the lifestyle they love and they wish to hand their farm on to their children and future family generations. However certain contingencies within the UN Agenda2030 - make their plans basically unobtainable. Now - this has never even been a serious discussion with NZ farmers. This is a far ranging plan that in essence wants to do a full stock take on all biota within the biosphere and all inanimate things as well. For example, on the microcosm - a corporation completes an annual ‘stock take’ of everything that corporation incorporates. For example: Land - buildings, automobiles, trucks, bulldozers, (aeroplanes, ships) office equipment stationary, stock - be it live stock, (animals) and product (wheat, soy, maize - iron ore, oil, etc) and what monies they have in the bank, stocks, shares, gold, silver, bitcoin, IOU’s, sureties etc. What the Agenda2030 does - is stocktaking of everything in every country so that countries assets are known by the bureaucrats in a UN building somewhere and they then command how a farm shall be run and governed on a planetary scale. Yet, that bureaucrat may not know squat about farming and the culture - and especially the prevailing weather, climate etc of that particular farming region. It is this macro managing from afar that is disturbing. Just have a look at how the WHO - the World Health Organisation acted over the last 18 months to see how their edicts are given out. This is where Agenda21 is leading us. So that those ‘who make the decisions’ can see what is happening on our whole planet at any time, but with a limited understanding of how farmers may live. To them they do not want to distinguish countries as such - but see just ‘trading blocks’ - North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Europe etc. At this moment they are still piecing together how these so-called Trading blocks will fit. Or at least make it public. Though National Party Leader Jim Bolger signed the 1992 Rio de Janeiro Agenda2, it was John Key who signed Agenda2030 - so for the farmers of NZ - they have to realise that a huge percentage of them voted for the National political party run by these two Prime Ministers. - that in many ways is aiding and abetting the silent, stealthy and hidden program that is being rolled out now. This is where there is a gigantic gap between the Agriculture Action Group and Groundswell - https://groundswellnz.co.nz/ have a huge chasm to cross. AAG.org.nz see the global clamp coming on fast whilst the Groundswell supporters basically think that getting rid of the Labour Party will save them. This is where they have been hoodwinked by National Party politicians not telling the truth or saying that the UN Agendas are conspiracy theories - when in fact - National are basically as donkey deep into the take over of NZ as Labour and the rest of the political apparatus. There were a number of National Political Party representatives in the crowd at the NZ wide Friday Groundswell event - who remained quiet, keeping their head down - because they do not want a discussion around Agenda21 or Agenda2030 - because then the farmers would become wise to the fact that Labour and National are just different wings of the same pterodactyl. The Paris Climate Treaty was signed by National Party Ministers Paula Bennet and Simon Bridges at the end of 2015. The Zero Carbon Act was passed with unanimous support from National in 2019 which makes the legal changes required from the Paris Climate Treaty previously signed. So Groundswell farmers and rural people have to see that this change that is being enforced - is beyond NZ politics. Just 2 months ago, one of the largest protests seen in the Far North saw Māori converge on the Far North District Council offices, opposing the council's plans to declare large swathes of land as SNAs – significant natural areas. Māori saw it as a breach of their rights as landowners and were upset at a lack of consultation, but it wasn't just Māori who were part of the hīkoi. They were joined by significant numbers of Pākehā farmers and property owners, a fact veteran activist Hone Harawira remarked upon. https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/civil-unrest/only-the-french-know-how-to-protest/ The Great Reset Now as an adjunct to the United Nations Agendas - we now have from - stage left the emergence of the World Economic Forum out of Davos, Switzerland. You will have read snippets and heard sound bites of the super rich and celebrities, flying there in private jets taking up runway parking space at the airport as they descend on their annual glittering conferences to engage in ‘how we are going to solve world problems.’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JB9-uL9o-w - 4 IMPORTANT minutes This is the showcase event of the likes of political figures, business leaders and cultural leaders …. under the heading of various vernacular like …Successful Global Corporate CEO and Entrepreneur or internationally acclaimed actor, fashion icon and mental health ambassador - all to win the younger unknowing, wannabes over etc. Or Global Shapers, Young Global Leaders, and Social Entrepreneurs - Thought Leaders etc - all among the Elite - rubbing shoulders - ‘being friendly’ do you remember when rock musicians like Bob Geldof and the lead singer from U2 and a stream of film stars hobnobbed at these type of events. Be it Tony Blair, Prince Charles, Leonardo Di Caprio, Bill Gates, go do a duckduckgo.com - search and watch the WEF videos - you will see them ‘conveniently’ placed in the videos - to get your ‘buy in’ and convince you that what frontman Klaus Schwab is doing - is going to be good for you, the rest of humanity and the planet as a whole. But they never speak of one's heart, of love, of soul, spirit - it is a Godless organisation. Some would say that communists like it very much - specifically for that very reason. This is very sophisticated propaganda - to swing the youth - especially in the tech, smart phone, chat world to ‘ready them to transition to a world that as the World Economic Forum stated and then quickly withdrew - that ‘by 2030 we will own nothing and we will be happy’. NZer’s across this country have to become very alert and savvy to this global marketing machine and ’thought adjuster’ - as its agenda is total world control with a mandate from the United Nations. Bood security is possibly the only single issue on which all New Zealanders can agree...and as you see the breakdown of supply chains around the world - especially America it could very well create famine and unbeknown to most - food shortages are a significant part of the "Great Reset". Strategy Going Forward. Wisdom is finding the weakest point in the global media strategy and focusing all available energy on …exposing the truth - that means , the many groups with grievances against this seemingly corrupt government would be wise to (1) shun attempts to "politicise" their issues and (2) put put some of their good activist energy into supporting the farmers. Without a doubt, ALL issues confronting us are critical to our survival: 5G, the so-called "vaccine", climate (manipulated by geo-engineering), chemicals in food, water, soil etc. This is hidden warfare, directed against US. Humans. To win, we need everyone on board. The Word Economic Forum have now silently made their move under cover of Covid - and are exposed and people are seeing their moves to use the lockdowns to take control of the world economy - They have all the world's great banks on board as well as all the world's media BBC, CNN, the New York Times, Washington Post, CBS, ABC NBC, - all the way down to the AUSTRALIAN, TvOne and TV3 to a greater extent Radio NZ, Talkback etc and the status Quo are now moving as fast as they can to capture us all before we wake up en-mass and see what they have planned for us. https://sociable.co/government-and-policy/timeline-great-reset-agenda-event-201-pandemic-2020/ Hence the importance of getting to farmers before they become co-opted by the National Party and be hoodwinked and sidelined to not see the real issue - losing NZ’s sovereignty and their farms as well. When we talk about an awakening happening across NZ people are realising that even though we thought we were free - that in actual fact - NZ is a Corporation of the City of London and though you may not beleive this - each person born here is a chattel of the City fo London and even migrants - they in return become a chattel too - see previous interview of Jacques Windell https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/jacques-windell-is-new-zealand-a-corporation-of-the-city-of-london This is a taster - but you dear reader have to take this further. Snippets from this interview SNA’s Significant Natural Areas are taking this away from the farmers. With no compensation. It’s destroying the economic viability of those properties … The need for binding Citizens Initiated Referendums As in the Cantons of Switzerland. Blockchain technology integrated with this method of voting - to make secure so it can not be corrupted and tampered with. NZ needing a Written Constitution https://groundswellnz.co.nz/ https://aag.org.nz/ https://landfreedom.net/home.html Instead of google use for searches - duckduckgo.com Note that the World Economic Forum never mentions …heart, love, soul etc - it is Godless Check out … rumble.com bitchute.com Brighten.com https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/ This is a go to web site NZ Websites: Note that suburban and rural news papers are around 60% owned by one entity. Vitamin C & D3 is very important for us to take to keep our immune system robust. Eat as much organic food as possible. Drink unsanitised water. Fresh air and daily walks for exercise are an imperative. That NZ is a Corporation of the City of London - this has shocked many unknowing people - That no matter what, we are entering a new paradigm and we have to educate and learn that we are free beings and retain our sovereignty - yet on a planet of 7.8 billion beings - we meditate on a ‘planet of peace’ and in ‘unity consciousness’ - that we are an emerging global family. Everything is connected - we are in the 4th industrial revolution - which is AI - artificial intelligence driven plus has dictionary computers and surveillance over the internet. You have the Waihopai 5 Eyes listening system at Blenheim with its dictionary computers - listening for key words and automatically tracking and recording … 5G wireless radiation - and towers - turning off wifi at schools and kindergarten and hard wiring all devices in school rooms - especially around infants. Dirty power in buildings - rooms wired with electricity that are unhealthy - it's like living under overhead high power lines. Fairfax bought Rupert Murdoch’s localised NZ newspapers about 60 in number across all the cities and rural areas - they only produce editorial and advertising - That media is not ally reworking to pull the strings of community together. There is Neighbourly - but it is tightly hemmed in. It is not really open at the level of awakening NZ. Rob Wilson is an excellent communicator. Apologies for the rushed job at this write up. One person can only do so much. :) Ps - I was shocked at how many of the farmers had taken the ‘shot’. Turn your TV off - turn your radio off. I have, 25 years ago. Use alternative media above.

| Alia Bee: Voices for Freedom Challenging the Government and MSM Covid Narrative | 13 May 2021 | 00:59:52 | |
Alia Bee, of Voices for Freedom here in NZ, is a volunteer group headed by three women and now a rapidly growing number of volunteers across the country. The reason for their concerns are escalating due to the incessant questionable media programing of the New Zealand population. Learn how they came about, to having around 10,000 members and growing - and would like to increase their membership ten fold and then some. They came about by wanting to set up groups across the country to assist those people who had felt lonely and left out when the lockdown across NZ happened. Because the feedback that they had received was that many people felt unsupported - especially not being able to have visitors and family come to them. To do this they used social media to build up a network of courageous volunteers and now there are 47 neighbourhoods and communities already. They are also running introductory meetings NZ wide so that people with concerns and also wanting to get to the truth as to what is 'really' happening regarding the Covid 'injection' rollout and in particular MEDSAFE’S 58 questions that Pfizer 'have yet to furnish' for the NZ Government. https://www.medsafe.govt.nz/ These meetings are creating the space for people to discuss in a more open forum - and most halls where meetings are taking place are in many cases - packed out. 10,000 on email database - they have FB, Instagram and Telegram and at present Gab is getting ready. They are also wanting more people to mirror their content around NZ to build up a greater resonance - thus to have a wide variety of platforms before they get 'booted' off some of these platforms as Alia said - they are rattling a few chains at present. They also have over 500 volunteers willing and waiting to go - however it creates another problem as they need to be all vetted (this is very important) and after that placed in certain areas of expertise and areas of trust - so this in itself is a huge logistical challenge. Because, if you get the right conscious person in the best situation - you can get a huge uptick in the way the organisation flows outwards to the community and in turn receives back as well. Listen to their poster campaign - against the government’s constructed dialogue - by doubling the Government's print run and printing 2 million flyers and raising this money in 48 hours ... Front Line Workers Taking the Jab and Suffering Ill Effects. It’s imperative to comprehend this - to what is secretly being shared with Voices for Freedom from 'front line responders' and border officials - some are being secreted into hospitals and then quietly transported to somewhere else. Soldiers too are suffering - and Voices are calling out for whistleblowers - because they have uncovered a silencing of the media including officialdom about people who have been vaccinated then suffering from major ailments - listen to this interview and make your own mind up. This is very serious. Also with large screen TV’s taking pride of place in living rooms and lounges in NZ - children, after over a year of constant barrage - are experiencing terrible anxiety - infants getting a sneeze and even instances when this happens - kiddies saying that they 'must get tested'. Note that pregnant women have been ‘told it is safe’ for them to have a vaccine ... I did not get round to talking about shedding - :( https://forbiddenknowledgetv.net/amazing-polly-this-isnt-about-a-virus/#comments For serious subject matter research use duckduckgo.com More Later ... | |||
| Steffan Browning: Will ‘conscious’ regenerative - biological agriculture make NZ a world leader? | 08 Aug 2018 | 01:00:00 | |
The Portfolios that Steffan held in the NZ Green Party were:
In this interview many subjects were rapidly covered so as to give an overview of what are the possibilities of a free, truly green, healthy and independent country - one that is happily embedded in the biosphere. Organic Food Growing Steffan says that in relation to our small organic food growers - we have to make sure that they can survive as we are asking of them to grow the finest quality and healthiest, highest - nutritional food. So it is imperative that our growers survive economically too. Steffan who for 15 years was an organic producer says organic growers have to be able to survive themselves and put a roof over their head and feed their children - and they are up against industrial food production which is produced cheaply by using in his words - some very ugly chemicals and ugly fertilisers as well. These then degrade our rivers and that the chemicals are impacting on our health - that there are a considerable amount of chemicals in our food - so how do we compare our food? What is cheap food? Because the cost of these chemicals on top of our national health system and into our environment are not considered in NZ’s industrialised retailed food prices. Whereas, organic producers holistic perspective does not, in most circumstances pollute waterways or the air with chemical sprays - and there are no known health and hospital costs as a result of eating organic food. Steffan says there is a problem with costs - but as an organic producer - he at the peak of the season for a number of weeks - could and did sell organic food at the same price of industrial vegetables. He also mentioned that industrial farming is also subsidised in the form of cheap chemicals. Steffan produced capsicums, tomatoes, aubergines (eggplant) beans, cucumbers, basil and chilli peppers - these were his primary crop. By blanket use of heavy chemicals across a whole farm - all pests as well as benevolent insects are killed - it’s an easy fix. Whereas organic farmers target what needs to be curtailed and do this with traps, and other noninvasive chemical means. Loss of Insects There is a world wide decline of insects. Where 50 years ago if you drove 50 kilometers through a rural setting there would be huge numbers of dead insects splattered on the window screen of your car. Today - basically none - zilch. Steffan says there are two reasons that he knows of. 1) Habitat has gone - bare earth actions be it farming and urbanisation - take away diversity - less trees, wetlands, shrubs, scrub and herbs. 2) Chemicals nicotinoids - the ‘neo nix’ - is what they are called for short - is known to kill bees and affect their health including other beneficial insects - plus there are also fungicides and herbicides as well. France in Europe is an excellent example of push back against these sorts of chemicals - having kicked out Monsanto as they restore ecological balance to their environment. France too has a huge number of organic food outlets right across the country - and are far more conscious of their food production and consumption. Food that is close to ‘use by’ date is never incinerated or sent to landfill - but sent to hospices and other needy outlets and possibly prisons etc = far less waste. Also Supermarkets will not buy from farmers who use nicotinoids. This is due to commercial outlets across France listening to consumer demands. Steffan goes on to say that our NZ regulators - our ‘environmental protectors’ as in the likes of Government - need to say that we are going to do the right thing … and bring in the ‘precautionary approach’ but, instead - our regulators are turning away and ignoring their social responsibility. Ministry for Primary Industries - need to have vision and courage. New Zealanders have to keep the pressure on the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Regulators - where he says we need some major changes - especially in the Ministry for Primary Industries, particularly their lack of vision and their lack of courage in not standing up to industry There are also conflicts of interest - especially around GE & GMO’s and the release of these materials. That some of these officials have actively promoted GE and promoted chemicals when their job is to be a watchdog - for our NZ environment! Especially when they are actively wanting easier access for GE materials to be released into the NZ countryside - and this message is coming from the CEO of the EPA - which is extremely concerning. The community and the environment have be at the forefront - before the economy. Steffan then mentions that he has just been elected back onto the Soil and Health National Council again. https://organicnz.org.nz Steffan talks about the recent breakthrough that brought about a ‘GE Free Northland’. Plus the Soil and Health Association working with these Northern Councils enabling them - along with a huge number of ordinary NZers who volunteered their time to do submissions and rally to this cause - etc. That the Soil and Health Association was able to get NZ’s High Court to back them in making sure that Councils such as Northland, Hastings, Hawkes Bay and to a certain extent the BOP - Bay of Plenty - the power to keep out experimentation from GE corporations. These biotech entities always wanting to release GE organisms into the environment, any environment. Also covered. ‘Gene editing and CRISPR, also called CRISPR/Cas9.’ - etc so as to manoeuvre to find loopholes to let these experiments into the environment - but fortunately the EU has come out and said they are the same as genetic engineering! Which is a blessing for NZ. The Precautionary Approach - is not anti science - It takes our children’s future into consideration. Steffan goes on to say - he is not stalling innovation There are many ways that scientists can use these tools in labs to research both plants and animals that can be used in non GE settings - He said we must not release these products into our environment - it’s very reckless to do so. New Zealand can still be the clean green 100% direction that at heart - we want. Our overseas consumers expect high quality food products - pesticide free - GE FREE - and leaving our country in a pristine state at the same time. NZ organic production is growing. Our growth in organics is increasing rapidly - and exports enable us to obtain premium returns. As a result of regenerative agricultural systems, biological farming offers a prosperous future. Bailey Perryman in Cultivating urban farming and Penelope Bundy have joined Organic NZ https://organicnz.org.nz so we can look forward to a sustainable drive towards organics here. The Urgency of Training Soil Scientists Hear how successive NZ governments have taken away the funding for ‘soil science’ in our major universities - and it is the soil that is the backbone of our country. Air in NZ what is the quality? Depends on where you live. Marlborough for example - far to much chemical drift from viticulture - exacerbating cancers and degenerative diseases. However in Marlborough there is now a significant growth in organic wines - so no chemical spray are used by them. HOWEVER - there is also an increase in non organic vineyards in the region as well, which continue to spray. But there are now ample organic wines available to drink here in NZ. Water Rivers - nitrates and very poor forestry practices - or soil erosion have been deteriorating the water course right out to estuaries and sea. The fishing grounds are suffering major problems but as it has been politicised - it is now getting the NZ public’s attention. Education comes through time and again in this interview - education is the answer. BioSecurity NZ allowed a whole host of pests to be brought in the country 100 to 150 years ago and this has caused problems that still have to be urgently addressed. 1080 is a very cruel death … listen to Steffan, who does not like it. Listen He is very concerned. We need hunters to go out and cull pests and also utilise the skins and meat if safe to do so. Mycoplasma bovis in cows - we needed to cull them straight away. It’s a huge health problem for cows.Bio security was very slow at waking up to this outbreak! National Security 5 Eyes Echelon listening and recording station in Blenheim - close it down is his statement. It persists regardless of who is in Parliament. No NZ Government seems to have the power to close it? Geo Engineering Finally the air above us - what is Geo engineering - vapour trails, contrails and chemtrails? The fact that analysis of the particulates are Barium, Aluminium and Strontium - what are these minute chemicals? And what is solar reflection? Solar radiation management (SRM) projects are a type of climate engineering which seek to reflect sunlight and thus reduce global warming. Study looks into belief that chemtrails are real - NZ Heraldhttps://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/article.cfm?c_id=2&objectid=11940711 Nov 5, 2017 - A new study has lifted the lid on chemtrails. ... The chemtrails conspiracy says that airliners are deliberately spraying chemicals.

| Katherine Smith: 5th Generation Mobile Network Increasing Radiation Transmission, Impacting Human Health | 02 Aug 2018 | 01:00:01 | |
That in most cases human health has been discarded or given a low priority. This rampant technological push continues to affect human health and wellbeing, influencing our very roots that connect us to nature - the source from which we spring. Intuitively we know this, as our health is being affected and cancer and many other types of illness skyrocket. GreenplanetFM is by no way anti science - we are satisfied with 3G and 4G technologies - however when there is a constant push for more efficiencies overriding the health of the community - the inevitable push back occurs. Corporate profits versus human health? With humanity appearing to be the canary in the coal mine. This very insightful interview tells us of what it is for a biological being having to live in an increasing world of oscillating frequencies that are continuing to intensify to the detriment of the natural world. The vegetable and animal kingdoms are being affected. That means you and I and especially newborns, vulnerable babies, infants and children. Humans are more than cellular bodies. The human body is composed of molecules, atoms and subatomic particles. There is a large body of literature that exists on the response of tissues to electromagnetic fields, primarily in the extremely-low-frequency (ELF) and microwave-frequency ranges. In general, the reported effects of radiofrequency (RF) radiation on tissue and organ systems have been attributed to thermal interactions, although the existence of nonthermal effects at low field intensities is still a subject of active investigation. This means that as new technological frequencies are deployed across cities, countryside and whole nations etc - we are in many ways an experiments in real time. We are the proverbial laboratory rats, that like GE and GMO foods, we are test cases for new technologies. Smart Meters The interview starts off with smart meters that are now becoming ubiquitous across NZ. Many people may not be aware that they are already in place at their power switchboard somewhere on a wall of your house. Your power company may have already installed one. Yet, certain people are very sensitive to the subtleties of a steadily increasing frequency spectrum and may not understand why they are unable to sleep or they may continually be restless. Reason being, that they are being affected by frequencies coming off their undisclosed smart meter. There is no legal obligation for NZers to have a Smart Meter. In NZ there is no legal obligation to have a smart meter … you can refuse to have a smart meter … legacymetering.nz/ or www.stopsmartmeters.org.nz This is the best option. https://ehtrust.org/ Education, Research, and Policy to Reduce Environmental Risks. The Active Denial System (ADS) is a non-lethal, directed-energy weapon developed by the U.S. military, designed for area denial, perimeter security and crowd control. Informally, the weapon is also called the heat ray since it works by heating the surface of targets, such as the skin of targeted human subjects. https://www.rt.com/news/weapon-us-microwave-cannon-363/ What are 5th Generation Technologies? They are more ubiquitous and powerful transmitter technologies! A result of intensifying use of transmitting frequencies in telephones and complementary technologies - people can end up with electro sensitivity - or EHS electro hypersensitivity - or electromagnetic sensitivity - or EMS - or ES electro sensitivity.
Katherine mentions the : save our landlines.nz - a petition …. www.saveourlandlines.nz/uncategorized/welcome/
The 5th Generation Radiation Frequencies Influences all creatures of the living ecology. https://es-ireland.com/5g-5th-generation-greater-dangers/ Over 240 scientists and doctors from 41 countries have signed a declaration to officials of the European Commission demanding a moratorium on the increase of cell antennas for planned 5G expansion. Concerns over health effects from higher radiation exposure include potential neurological impacts, infertility, and cancer. Experiments in China - show that rats heavily irradiated - can basically be all dead in 10 minutes.

| Chris Leitch: Is Social Credit heading to be New Zealand’s third political party? | 25 Jul 2018 | 00:58:02 | |
Neo liberal economics, turned loose on New Zealand by Roger Douglas and Labour in 1985 (and still adhered to by both Labour and National today) has failed. The results speak for themselves - hundreds sleeping on the streets, in cars, in sheds and garages, hundreds more living in taxpayer funded motel units because they have no homes, full time workers unable to afford their rent, a health system in crisis, inequality at its highest level ever, roads, sewage systems, water supply and other infrastructure in disrepair, our "clean green" country under threat. We need an economic system that works for people and the country, not for a favoured few. Such a system exists. It's called Social Credit. It has been tried before in New Zealand and other places and worked brilliantly. It is being increasingly talked about internationally. It could work for us again. "Funny Money", once used in a derogatory way to describe Social Credit, is a term that would best describe the stupidity of our government borrowing the money it needs from private financial institutions when it could borrow from the country's central bank (the Reserve Bank), which it owns. This means that $4,500,000,000 of taxpayer money every year goes to pay interest when it could go towards things that benefit Kiwis. Social Credit is committed to fixing that, and putting in place a financial system that works for New Zealanders. Imagine if the government could create all the money that is needed. “Our own history offers us one of the most important instances of this being done. In the 1930s in the middle of the Great Depression, the great Labour Prime Minister Michael Joseph Savage authorised the creation of new money so that thousands of new state houses could be built, thereby providing jobs for the unemployed and homes for the homeless and – incidentally – an income-producing asset for the government." Quote from Brian Gould, “Creating Money for the Good of the Country”. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/thecountry/news/article.cfm?c_id=16&objectid=12006636 Chris Leitch is Leader of the Social Credit Party and its finance spokesperson. Has been a campaigner for monetary reform since 1972. He stood as candidate in Whangarei in 1984 and 1987. He became the Party’s National President in 1989. After his party joined the Alliance, he became the first ever Alliance Candidate to stand for parliament – in the Tamaki by-election in 1992 after Rob Muldoon stood down, coming in second. He and the team reduced an 8,500 majority down to just 1,200. Elected to the Auckland Regional Services Trust in 1992, Chris fought efforts by the government to force the Trust to privatise and was successful in keeping revenue-earning assets in public ownership. Elected to the Waitemata Electricity Trust, Chris helped resist attempts by a foreign company to get full ownership and asset strip the company. He has served as Board Chairman of the Whangarei Youth Centre, and the Onerahi Primary School. He has been deputy leader of the party for two periods, once commencing in 1993, and again in 2014. He was elected leader last month. Social Credit’s web site is http://www.socialcredit.nz | |||
| Ron Colman: Genuine Economic Indicators. How do we factor losses into our economy to give a true cost to the nation? | 18 Jul 2018 | 00:59:57 | |
There is a growing awareness of what Genuine Progress Indicators do - as GDP includes all costs to the nation, whilst GPI, wants to address the losses to society. Crime and family breakdown is seen as Gross Domestic Product Household and volunteer work is seen as Gross Domestic Product Pollution and its consequences is seen as Gross Domestic Product Long term environmental damage is seen as Gross Domestic Product Even War goes through the books as Gross Domestic Product! So all of the above, don’t really benefit society at all - as they are all major losses yet, Governments globally have always classified these as a measure of economic growth! In this interview which becomes quite riveting in the end - Dr Coleman talks of the challenges of putting GPI in place within the government economic apparatus. That prior to the 3 term National Party Key administration, that Labour Minister of Finance Michael Cullen was very interested in this concept - but Labour was voted out of office - and he was not able to follow through in taking this forward. But in the meantime these losses are costing society and the country dearly! Genuine Progress indicators is a ‘holistic’ way of seeing a more integrated bigger economic picture, that factors in the environment, as well as the community as a whole. Holism A holistic way is to view all the various facets to life in a more homeostatic way. As in a integrated whole of interconnection and interrelationships. In this interview he mentions that when he engaged the leaders of the NZ Maori Party they instantly and intuitively grokked his reasoning as applying to our planet - Papatuanku as alive - or the earth acting as one great superorganism. This was then extended to the Whanganui river being classified recently by the NZ Government as a living entity that has a vast catchment area of some 7,000 square kilometres. - The next question is, do we have the will to see the far larger picture as we further our knowledge of the interconnection of life. (James Cameron in the blockbuster movie Avatar, introduced the moon Pandora as a living being and that all the tree roots interconnected in one vast - neural network). See the Gaia Hypothesis - James Lovelock One of the larger challenges is that both in business and in Government there is compartmentalisation. Where there is very little to no ‘cross fertilisation’ or sharing - people are often in positions of ‘need to no only’ so they only understand a very limited perspective of how the whole organism/organisation works. That the company or the Department is not acting as a ‘dynamic whole’ and thus efficiencies as well as enthusiastic participation - is throttled back. When in a very connected electronic world - the imperative is energetic team spirit, that on a grander scale then spontaneously engenders novelty and innovation. Bhutan This subject came out of the blue in that I was wanting to see what country was further along the ‘conscious journey’ of seeing the world in a more futuristic and caring perspective. So knowing that Bhutan was a country that had a ‘happiness’ indicator I threw in a the comment - what about Bhutan? Well Ron came back to me and said he had lived there for 5 years - and so could tell us far more than virtually anyone in the West has heard. He said that they had a fairly enlightened King who wanted to gauge the feelings of the mainly Buddhist inhabitants of that small kingdom. With initiating a Gross National Happiness (GNH) goal. What comes out of this discussion is that the Bhutan government wanted to float this idea through the UN so that other countries could participate. When this happened - and though a lot of countries thought this was a good idea, there was pushback especially as this would have had to deal straight at face value - with other countries poverty and all the other contingencies like clean air, water, land and food production, housing, education and health. You name it. Synchronicity with what’s happening in New Zealand Fortunately, this goal is still alive and well today and the present NZ government is putting a lot of attention into it.. The Government's plan to announce the world's first "wellbeing" Budget next year resonates with business people if a big Waikato Inc turnout to hear Finance Minister Grant Robertson is any gauge. NZ Herald 10th July 2018 https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12086507 Then Ron takes his attention to what’s happening in the biosphere and the overlapping challenges and tipping points as to what we as a humanity are doing to our planetary ‘life support system’. Bangkok under water by 2033, which I question him about - because Al Gore said that the Arctic would be ice free in summer by 2013, and it has not happened. Yet, the warming continues - see the temperatures in Europe over the last month. Shift in planetary consciousness - Empowering Youth and Women There is an acute need for empowering of the worlds youth and especially woman (and their reproductive rights) - to nurture their/our common future. Plus, for them (that in this somewhat tumultuous world) to be in a healthy position to make this change possible. This is an area that we all intuitively know that as a human society, we need to engage in - and urgently. Though we still have to trust that the top down model of leadership ‘may’ engage the population with an enlightened approach - the thrust of this whole interview is about grassroots movements. An energised bottom-up regeneration and metamorphosis movement. This interview carried on to include many small towns, villages and regions in NZ consciously coming together as small focussed communities. See main page GreenplanetFM.com These are about farmers markets acting as a catalyst to bring the community closer together so as to have access to cheaper, healthier organic food as well as to network together plus organising a of time banks. Especially that volunteerism can be rewarded by time bank credits. Other Initiatives In Auckland the Manukau District Health Board now has worked alongside the championing of 70 community gardens in the area. The benefits are many, and this can only encourage the community to healthily become more engaged and connected. This was a very lively and empowering interview. We both came away ‘happy and empowered.’ | |||
| Wi Peepi: Should our leaders define borders in the care for children, born into this world by uncaring parents? | 11 Jul 2018 | 00:59:54 | |
This subject of the horrors of child abuse has not been covered by GreenplanetFM, as this program is basically premised on environment, health and consciousness. However a ‘chance’ meeting of Ludovic C. M. Romany the author of the book ‘Innocence’ shifted my perspective so as to tell the NZ public that there is a major problem ‘lurking’ under the radar across this most fortunate yet unknowing nation. With challenges coming to us daily via the worlds media - Child abuse - is an overwhelming subject and when we are bombarded with all the other horrors that the world media-corporations seem to hurl at us, I felt to go more public on this important issue. When a baby is born into the world, we at heart, want that baby to be loved and cherished, to be wanted, by both its mother and father - however if this baby is unwanted and is instantly perceived as a burden - this can become hell on earth for this newborn. This in essence - is the story of Wi. However there is a happy ending to this interview of Wi, coming through this harrowing journey in his 47th year - he is healing a broken heart and a shattered upbringing. This allows us the public to realise that we can always in the end, save the day. That against the odds, we can all come out - ‘sunny side up’ A profound account of how a little boy can come through this saga and still carry love in his heart gives us hope for all children who may have been born into a world of abandonment and suffering. REVIEW Jim & Helen Moriarty In one solid committed sit down, I was able to ingest the weight, the daunting but inspiring tasks of opening myself to the Mauri of Innocence. Innocence without question is a testament to the mana, the resilience, the survival of Wi Peepe in post-colonial New Zealand, against a backdrop of an upbringing, that defies belief. A New Zealand where the horror of Wi’s childhood, the guilt and blame is attributed to none other than the monster, the demonic force that is his father. So graphically detailed and truthfully portrayed. This is a harrowing, yet ironically beautiful account of Wi’s deep connection to his wairua, and emancipation from a life that leaves many dead in its wake. That the occasional right kind word and action, amidst his nightmare existence coupled with a deep knowing of the healing, found in the constant of the river and nature, were enough to feed the soul of a child. A child who fought the complexities and distortions of those around him, themselves products of post-colonial alienation and cultural disenfranchisement….It is a window into Wi’s determination to fix the things himself and be accountable, into societies shifting lens around the intolerable, and at times over zealous reporting and response to family violence and harm. ‘Thank God for that.’ In the end, it is about Wi’s purotu, the magic within, that never deserts him. That equips him along the way, that is part of his whakapapa, that is recognised and supported by others, who could see beyond the battered exterior into Wi’s loving sacred self. Thankyou Wi and to your whanau for letting us in. Nga mihi aroha ki a koutou katoa. Jim and Helen Moriarty | |||
| Anneleise Hall: A broader perspective of Community and Neighbourhood Building and innovation across NZ | 04 Jul 2018 | 00:59:30 | |
Though overstated, it has also given New Zealander’s a wake up call - as to what do we want for our families and particularly our children in our country so as to make our communities more resilient, and viable, but more so - economically, more friendly, as well. Towns, Villages and City Suburbs are becoming closer and safer. From ‘transition everything’ to, farmers markets, time banks, permaculture, holistic health, homeschooling, garage sales, and food buying co-ops - Communities are realising that localising as much as possible especially around food, learning and backyard growing activities …. Is making small towns, city suburbs and small rural villages far more cohesive and enjoyable. People are discovering their neighbours and creating deep connection and relationships. It’s about innovation and integration of small business modals and setting the template for a regenerative 21st Century where families and communities can thrive together. | |||
| Robert Reid: Can we change the way we do business? Why are unions essential in the protection of workers? | 27 Jun 2018 | 00:56:06 | |
New Zealand hasn’t been a social-democratic paradise since Rogernomics’ deregulation, selling off public assets, and slashing state investment. “Over the past 30 years, more than $350 billion has flowed out of New Zealand's economy to overseas banks and foreign owners of our assets. At the same time, the share of the economy going to working people has fallen from over 50 per cent to just over 40 per cent, cutting NZ $20 billion a year from pay packets. That's not a coincidence. Reducing employment rights and, more specifically, reducing the rights of New Zealanders to build economic power has led to a massive transfer of wealth away from the majority of Kiwis - our families, our communities and small businesses.” https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11987935 New Zealand needs to move away from our reliance on a low-wage economy where companies compete by paying people less. We need to remove the temptation to throw more cheap labour or longer work-hours at a problem, and make investment in skills, productive capital and innovation the better option. The situation that New Zealand currently is in can be directly related back to the National government’s Employment Contracts act of 1991. The Employment Contracts Act (ECA), once it passed, had a devastating effect on workers’ rights and living standards in New Zealand. It dealt a body blow to the trade union movement, one from which we’ve never recovered. Union membership almost halved between 1991 and 1995, with union density going from 41.5% to 21.7%, The ECA gave employers the right to refuse to negotiate with unions, and made it much easier to use lockouts and ‘scab’ labour or migrants to break workers’ resistance. It eliminated hard-fought reforms like compulsory union membership, compulsory employer-employee bargaining, and unions’ special place in this process. Listen to Robert’s interview including a shocking revelation about how New Zealand employers have been caught treating migrant workers, that feels like the final nail in the coffin of assuming New Zealand is the world’s best place to live and work in. Robert Reid is President of the 28,000 strong FIRST Union after retiring as General Secretary in November of last year. He talks about his life, his work in trade unions, the community and the role of trade unions today. Robert has recently been appointed to the NZ Government’s Welfare Experts Advisory Group. From school age Robert was an organiser, forming a Students Union while still at High School, starting the Organisation to Halt Military Service to get rid of conscription during the War on Vietnam and becoming the International Vice President of the NZ University Students Association in his first year of university. Dropping out of university and starting a family at a young age, Robert worked at General Motors in Petone for 10 years where he learnt his trade unionism until, like tens of thousands in the manufacturing industries was made redundant as Rogernomics named after Roger Douglas the radical monetarist Minister of Finance in the 4th Labour Govt. With its neo-liberal trade policies kicked in. Robert spent the next period of time working with unemployed and community employment groups until returning to union work with the Council of Trade Unions as a regional organiser out of Palmerston North. With the Employment Contracts Act of 1991 decimating the trade union movement, Robert worked in Asia for 6 years helping in the establishment and growth of independent and genuine trade unions across the region. Robert came back to the NZ trade union movement helping to rebuild it again by being part of the formation of Unite and with roles in the Trade Union Federation, the Footwear Union, the Clothing Union and then as President, then General Secretary of the National Distribution Union which together with the Finance Union FINSEC, became FIRST Union. During this period Robert also completed a Graduate Diploma in Economic Development and worked in the Green Party Parliamentary office for 2 years on the Buy Kiwi Made campaign. Robert has also served on “industry good” boards such as Textiles NZ and the Forest Industry Safety Council. Robert lives with his partner, Maxine Gay in Mangere Bridge and is a doting grandfather to 6 grandchildren. | |||
| Juliet Adams: Project Lyttelton - growing community of participation, into care, mutual support and love | 20 Jun 2018 | 00:59:57 | |
It’s about individuals coming together to localise, in creating business around farmers markets, food growing, timebanks and cooperating at numerous innovative tiers and levels. Many more NZer’s today are talking among themselves that there has to be a far better way for us to live, especially for our collective planetary future. Up and down and across New Zealand, many 'kiwis' are slowly but methodically going about integrating with their local community - wishing to share at a deeper level, values that are expressed from the heart and from a place of honesty and courage. From little villages, districts, towns, to suburbs in cities, farmers markets seem to be a key ‘nodal point’ where people can congregate and cross pollinate news and views of how community can come together - so as to become self reliant, and resilient as well as creatively taking innovation to a new art form. Are you one of these cultural creatives? Who enjoys meeting people to talk deeply about how we can address the urgent needs within the biosphere of today. I trust that you are as the following interview I feel, will fill you with optimism and dear I say it, joy, which as you inherently know - we need to experience far more of - especially if we are aware of current world news. Juliet Adams became a volunteer in Lyttelton (just beyond Christchurch) in the South Island, just after the earthquake that affected so many people’s lives. This came about because Project Lyttelton had a ‘Time Bank.’ A Time Bank - is a system that helps people to help each other, without money changing hands. To join a local time bank - there needs to be a basic program on a small computer system so as to record what exchanges are being made. When you join you list the ‘skills’ you can offer towards the community and any other ways of helping people in the community to do things. Plus, you will also ‘have some needs' as well where you would like some help. For example if you spent one hour minding a friends children, they will credit you ‘one hour’ on the time bank records. Then you can use that credited ‘one hour’ on your account to pay someone to do something for you. Like fixing the broken fence or mowing the lawns. etc. So it’s a matter of people exchanging their abilities and their time to help one another - without money changing hands. What ‘time banks’ do is bring people and connection much more closer together. Where as money can be over convenient as in the human equation it may not play a ‘closer quality’ in reaching out to people and their inner needs. i.e good relationships that are far more healthy … where you spend time talking and making sure that everyone is warmly satisfied with the ’transaction’. In Lyttelton there is over 750 members in their time bank - so if these 750 people congregated all togther in a hall - there is huge potential and possibility with the collective skills that are there. Thus a time bank like this has 'vast social capital' that can be unleashed and put to good purpose. Community Treasure Chest. The ‘community treasure chest’ - is where people who belong to a time bank, donate and credit their ‘one hour’ to the community treasure chest - which allows other people who are going through a tough spell and need a hand up, can avail themselves of accumulated gifted ‘one hour' credits from the Community Chest. So that people who are not even time bank members can receive community assistance. This is the difference between a system that is built around people - rather than money. Project Lyttelton is based on many projects. Having many community gardens - you give some work time and you can walk away with some of the fresh produce. Garage Sales - about 4 or 5 a week - are all organised through Project Lyttelton - having a well organised, publicised outreach. Saturday Farmers Market - which is a huge success - and this is where town and country meet and much sharing and networking takes place. Helen Dew of Carterton and and Living Economies, North of Wellington and Margaret Jeffries of Lyttelton went to ITHACA in New York in the US many years ago and learnt about ‘time banks’ and brought the concept back to NZ. http://livingeconomies.nz Today more and more Councils and Central Government are actively supporting communities to assist them to become more cohesive and healthy to improve the lives of their citizens. Healthy, happy people, as a result are not dependent on health services and do not draw down on the community or economy. Locally there are Time Banks in Christchurch, Sumner and New Brighton areas. Minimisation of Waste Saturday markets - you can borrow a cup - take it away full of a hot drink or soup and carry it with you, refill it and later on in the day drop it back at the market and one of the staff will happily wash it at the end of the day. Same for plates, knives and forks - you can enjoy food and have no concern about disposing anything in the rubbish - food scraps go for compost etc. A very clean thought out action plan to minimise waste. The idea of washing up is easily achieved and you have no concerns either. Festivals Many festivals are run in the town that bring people together. Group Truck Bertie the truck, can be hired off Project Lyttelton PL for localised use. Fruit and veggie crates of fresh food are available every week. They have a Library where many leading edge books on community building, finance and success stories of what is happening around our planet are available. This is where Juliet volunteers her time. As volunteering is a large part of PL. Volunteering is the glue to keeping the community cohesive and flowing. They also have shares in a health food shop that is owned as a coop called ‘Harbour Coop -, Selling healthy and organic food see - harbourcoop.co.nz Project Lyttelton is a wonderful fulfilling experiment of people working and playing together. It is also emotionally healthy as well as providing physical health for ones body. It in many ways is the microcosm of the NZ macrocosm - where ideals and warm hearted values coalesce into unfolding a better tomorrow. https://www.lyttelton.net.nz | |||
| Zelka Grammer: Nuclear Free NZ Now Working Towards Becoming a GE + GMO Free Nation, in Law | 13 Jun 2018 | 00:59:59 | |
NZ prides itself as country that has been a prolific food bowl for fresh quality food produced from family farms for over 130 years. ‘It’s in our bones.’ Now with the increasing rush of new technologies, many of these developments are being pushed on to ‘the market’ with a good number not being tested over a longer period of time or over a succession of for example seven to ten generations. (Glyphosate and GE organisms being the case in point). This is where ethical considerations are being left behind in the haste to profit at all costs and in the process - overtaking or bypassing the code of - duty of care and the precautionary principle. Farmers and people who work the land are by their nature conservative and do what they know has successfully worked for them in the past - and they are weary of smart young technocrats who may have never got dirt under their fingernails, selling them yet another device or method that takes them further from what they intuitively feel is natural. So the saga of GE and GMO’s is now taking a turn for the better in NZ, especially for consumers in our country, as well as globally and in particular the ecology of this country. | |||
| Mark Skelding: Thames-Coromandel, Localised NZ communities which connect and prosper towards a shared outcome | 06 Jun 2018 | 01:00:00 | |
This dialogue with Mark is a continuation of interviewing NZers around the country based on ‘pulling the strings of localised community together’ and linking them across the nation. Mark is a passionate change agent and realises the importance of having robust and resilient communities founded around: Farmers markets, permaculture, organics, green dollars and Time banks as well as building shelter and sustainable buildings, holistic health, homeschooling, mensheds and women’s cooperatives, plus other regenerative initiatives. That all of these connect the community into a vibrant, self reliant organism. For many years in some cases decades there has been a growing awareness by NZers - especially away from the largest cities that in small towns and villages across the country, people still have a sense of community. That people seeking both better connection, and environmental quietness away from the pace and size of urban conglomeration have gravitated to the rural setting, that is always accompanied by being close to the sea or ocean in some way. So apologising in advance, I trust that you forgive me and advise me accordingly if I have committed your town, village of region below. From Kaitaia up North, to Kerikeri, Hokianga, Whangerei and ….. To Thames Coromandel, Raglan over to Gisborne, the Hawkes Bay Hastings region. To Wanganui, Masterton To the Soul Island of Nelson, Motueka, Takaka and Golden Bay, to Kaikura and Lyttelton, the West Coast and further South - people have steadily built a cooperative commercial understanding around markets and now farmers markets are a key hub to community getting to gather to cooperate in other ways as the threads of community tie in so many other aspects from holistic health, to shared working bees, permaculture, organics, recycling etc see list at the bottom of this article. Marks interview on what is happening in the Thames Coromandel starts with how people are addressing housing and shelter. Having many differing forms of life style, and various forms of building homes - Cobb houses , rammed earth, straw bale, lots of permaculture permutations - people living ‘off grid’ and largely self sufficiently - other people living semi on grid whilst developing organic businesses - green businesses, lots of sole traders - that is sort of going on at one level. At another level also grappling with how to connect up with other parts of the community that are more traditional - who have come there to retire and live in peace by the sea but are now becoming alarmed by sea level rise and climate change - eroding roads as over the last 18 months massive storms have come up the Firth of Thames and the Coast road up to Coromandel has been taken out. Plus lots of flooding on the other coast and at Whitianga as well. There are some intentional communities, as well as spiritual communities that are rarely well integrated into the larger community running meditation courses as well as extending into town as a shop presence. People looking at ways of cooperating to group together on the land and adding tiny houses etc But in a sharing of care, Mark mentions there is also now on the other side of the situation about 30 homeless people living in Thames - sleeping in cars - or sleeping out at the back of the community garden etc and some of them have various addictions of some kind or another so there is still growing challenges around the dispossessed that needs to be addressed. Why? Because these people don’t have that sense of community and connection … and access to the resources to be able to change their lives - like to buy some land you are talking half a million dollars so there is definitely a different social strata around different degrees of wealth, resources and affluence involved and amidst all this correct choices that have been taken. Mark shares from a humorous perspective how the people strive for success and then laughingly asks how does one define success? He says how do we equate neo liberal economics with half a dozen people sleeping in a car outside your house …? That neo liberal perspectives are so interwoven into our society that often we all don’t realise how embedded we really are inside this economic model. Like a goldfish may have no concept of water! | |||
| Heather Meri Pennycook & Rob Wilson: Why are Agenda21, Agenda 2030 and the Great Reset not debated? | 06 May 2021 | 01:00:01 | |
AAG.org.nz - the Agriculture Action Group has been founded across New Zealand to push back and question Government intrusion, especially when it has not been announced in the Governments manifestos. This is all about the lack of consultation and enforced regulations and fees at a localised level - via NZ Councils on how we use our land. These requirements are now being foisted on an unsuspecting NZ public. This has all been arranged and 'agreed upon’ with the United Nations and is known as Agenda21 & Agenda 2030. In addition to the above is the inclusion from Davos in Switzerland, of the World Economic Forum’s 'Great Reset’ 'Where we are told 'that by 2030 we will own nothing and we'll all be happy!' That together these two models are going to be superimposed over all nations that will lead to the long planned for NEW WORLD ORDER. These words were uttered by US President George Herbert Bush when he first mentioned them back in September, 1990. Now, today, there is an urgent need to ask, why are these two critical global ecological and economical initiatives being inserted into everyday life especially in the Western World and here in NZ. Note that recent NZ governments have made no effort at all to announce this in their political manifestos or brought any of this to the NZ public's notice via MainStream Media. Now farmers in particular are finding that they are being regulated and having to fulfil certain conditions having had no local community input from Councils or Central Government - prior to what is happening today. Where once ‘we the people’ elected servants to act on our behalf. There was always open dialogue and consultation, with meetings and written submissions. Resulting in questions being answered so that the electorate were ‘ kept in the loop, but in this interview we hear that farmers, essentially the backbone of the economy of our vast rural sector, have been sidelined. Instead they have found themselves controlled by bylaws and legislation that has been enacted with no consultation or their knowing. What we are learning is that there has been a huge level of secrecy in relation to how these ‘programs' have been developed and deployed. Though, certain astutely placed ‘buzz’ words have been used to soften the story line, when finally put under the microscope we learn that, ‘we' are being told what to do and what's to happen and that we must ... comply. Agenda21 & Agenda2030 along with the Great Reset are a 'top down game plan' for planet earth. However, there is an urgent necessity to have 'grass roots' input from communities on the ground that takes localised situations and conditions into consideration and be acknowledged. Not a ‘one size fits all’. But, this has not happened. Yes, we are very aware of all the many serious environmental challenges within the biosphere that have to be acknowledged and dealt with. As well as the completely unsustainable failing 'casino economic system' that we are ensnared in - that is essentially corrupt to the core. But, if we as a democratic country based on the Rule of Law - believe in an honest system of Government, are not allowed to have a country wide discussion with local town hall meetings and full media coverage - especially at 6 pm ‘ every' night - we will realise that our long held cherished freedoms - have been hijacked. This we can not allow. Question; did you give permission to our Prime Minister to make this decision that she made in New York in 2019? See video below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XsUV7pwSRg&t=448s The Interview: Listen, this is critical information … too much to write here. AAG.org.nz The Agriculture Action Group. What is happening or about to happen is all an extension of the Fourth Industrial Revolution - an omnipresent computerised wireless world - where we are immersed in escalating oscillating frequencies 24/7. This wireless radiation coming from both ground towers and the 40,000 plus 5G satellites that Elon Musk and SpaceX are deploying as of now. These technologies will be overlaying and bombarding all of nature and every square millimetre of the biospheres surface. Notice with spokesman Klaus Schwab of the Great Reset who oversees the World Economic Forum’s videos - that no ‘love' is mentioned in them - that there is a lack of heart in the narrative. Yes, they point out what the problems are - however all the answers to our planetary problems are coming from the top of the pyramid of power. That they are not coming up from the grass roots, from you and I at a localised level. What we want to hear and see is that we are included in this narrative and that there is heart in this equation. Question … is there any warm joy in what the Great Reset is going to do for you? Time to mobilise - share this …. Some Talking Points of the Great Reset: A global omnipresent digital society with zero cash. The absence of small business owners - only Corporations. Living in Smart Cities totally connected to overhead satellites. Unable to save organic seeds, or rainwater off one's own roof. Decreasing access to the great outdoors. 24/7 Surveillance and zero privacy. Breathing questionable air. Drinking fluoridated and chlorinated water. Eating Factory and Industrial Food - non organic - no life force. Submitting to edicts around health requirements - e.g Covid. Sourcing information via search engines that censor. Enforced ‘Gag' Orders when employed by the system. The lack of Love and connection within the Community. These above statements need to be addressed ASAP. More to come. | |||

All the sounds of nature coalesce and vibrate, in one vast symphony as in, for example, the dawn chorus of birds. The human contribution to this living, nourishing element we call sound very often shows a lack of awareness, similarly to other aspects of the environment.

| Roger Fowler: Inspiring us to Dream the Impossible Dream for Palestine / Gaza | 17 May 2018 | 00:55:03 | |
55 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,000 injured by Israeli forces since the ‘Great March of Return’ protests began on March 30 2018. The rallies are part of a six-week protest to mark what Palestinians refer to as the Nakba" or "catastrophe" - a reference to Israel's establishment in 1948 and when 750,000 Arabs were forcibly removed from Palestine. Roger will be covering a number of topics that include *Israel’s continuing lethal attacks of unarmed citizens gathering in Gaza, *Political prisoners, detention of children, *House demolitions on the West Bank, *Author Dr Ramzy Baroud’s speaking tour of NZ talking about his new book “The Last Earth: A Palestinian Story”. * The upcoming 2018 international Freedom Flotilla to Gaza which will again include a prominent human rights advocate from NZ. Roger’s bio: Roger Fowler is a veteran activist & community organizer, and played a prominent role in building the local protest movement against the war on Vietnam and South African Apartheid in the late 1960s & 70s. He was manager of Auckland’s Resistance Bookshop and coordinator of the inner-city People’s Union community organization throughout the 1970s, an active supporter of the protest occupation at Bastion Point, and union delegate in the car assembly industry.

| Jeanne Marsh & Christina Rogstad: From Aging to Saging - Tapping into the Wisdom of the Generations | 03 May 2018 | 00:59:26 | |
Sage-ing is a spiritual practice that involves harvesting the wisdom of our lives and finding ways to transmit that wisdom as a legacy to future generations. In developing an elder spiritual practice we pursue the path proposed by Rabbi Zalman Schacter in his seminal book From Age-ing to Sage-ing which involves, through introspection, the following:

| Denys Trussell & Bob Tait: ‘Friends of the Earth’ Has New Zealand compromised its Nuclear Free status? | 26 Apr 2018 | 00:55:41 | |
There is even more to this nuclear episode - that we are allowing concentrated uranium oxide shipments into NZ ports en route to other countries, for maximising. Denys says that changes have to take place in the ‘consciousness and the sentiments’ of near on 5 million New Zealanders as well as the rest of the world’s population to address what is really taking place today. Yet, during this time NZ also became the first country on Earth to ban the irradiation of food - However in the 1990’s because we lost our ‘ sovereignty’ through the CER - Closer Economic Relations with Australia - when both countries merged their regulatory authorities thus Food Standards NZ and every Australia State and Capital Territory got one vote only. It’s not like one vote one country like with the United Nations and so NZ had to go along with Australia’s Pro Irradiation stance, being out voted every time. The result means that a whole range of exported Australian fruit and vegetables are imported into NZ and becomes our diet - which is irradiated with caesium 137. First they started off with mangoes which was regarded as a sweetener - and now tomatoes and capsicums are irradiated so are grapes, pip fruit and citrus fruit. Yet the labelling of such treatment continues to be poorly addressed and most people do not know that they could be eating nuclear irradiated food. This contravenes our Nuclear Free policy. Up to 800 ton shipments of ‘concentrated uranium’ have been coming through the ports of Auckland - and the NZ workers at the port working on these ships were never told of these shipments - and this was completely under the public radar and unknowing NZ has no capability to deal with an accident or spillage inside these ships. The uranium is stored in the bow of the ship at the lowest levels and when asked why, was told that it is the furthest from the crews quarters - but that section of the ship is also the most affected area with storms at sea. FOE say that they have been shown photographs of containers of other goods that have been damaged by storms at sea and Bob says they look like they have been attacked by giant can openers. Being so, that both overseas and local business interests have been far more successful than environmental protectors. It’s unfortunate - yet that is the reality. There is no legal aid for cases brought about for the public interest, this needs to be addressed. Note that a good judge and magistrate can determine in 5 minutes if this is a genuine case. Wherever an environmental case being brought is merely vexatious or important, Denys says it would not cost the Government very much at all to set up such a system, where important and authentic cases are heard with the help of legal aid. Government Organisations not doing enough? | |||
| Dr Bruce Lipton: His views on Vaccinations - we’ve got it all wrong! | 19 Apr 2018 | 00:59:18 | |
Bruce begins the interview with an introduction to his work and then moves on to speaking about the nature of vaccines and why he thinks there are problems with them. The nature of vaccinations and the role of our immune system is a topic that is not really understood by the conventional public. It is generally accepted that controlling the immune system to create antibodies against germs or parasites that try to attack us, is successfully done by vaccines. Parents are pressured to vaccinate their children. It is accepted that we can create an immune response by taking foreign elements, bacteria, viruses, and parasites, or pieces of these elements, and putting them into a solution, and then injecting it under our skin. This is to invoke the immune system to make a response against these invasive foreign materials or antigens. Generally we believe that the vaccines are the way to program the immune system to protect us from environmental parasites, bacteria and viruses. Therefore we have bought into the system of artificially putting these antigens under our skin to invoke an immune response. The question of whether this is beneficial or not, is now coming into the open. Bruce address this issue from the point of view that immunology has made a misunderstanding about something very important called the tonsils! He says, “If you recognize the nature of infants and their behaviour you realise that infants put everything they can find and fit into their mouths. Their own fists, arms, feet, anything they find in their cot, anything you hand them they will instinctively put it into their mouths.” This is not an accident this is nature's natural immune vaccination system. What the baby is doing is sampling the environment. Everything it can reach will inevitably end up in its mouth! By this process the infant is actually introducing antigens into the immune system and initiating an immune response. Bruce expands on this, drawing on his extensive scientific background. He also speaks candidly about the role of the pharmaceutical companies in this. Currently we're finding an epidemic in regard to allergic reactions or hypersensitivity. We're also finding that people are bringing in the concept that autism is seems to be associated with the widespread use of vaccines, so there are very profound questions out there as to the safety of using vaccines to create immune responses. In infancy when we give a large amount of vaccines to the child their immune systems aren't tooled up to handle so much, especially coming from an introduction that is not normal in any sense of biology, so basically forcing the immune system to respond to these vaccinations in an abnormal way is not in the best interest of the body’s system. It is not the way it normally deals with it, and therefore that we are beginning to find that vaccines are very likely causing many kinds of problems. What is introduced into the system is not just the foreign cells and bacteria and the viruses or pieces of the parasites that they use, but also the chemistry in which the vaccines are created, which include a lot of mercury and aluminium and a lot of other things such as formaldehyde, which are poisons. This is an attempt to enhance the immune system, but at the same time it is essentially overpowering it with poisons and toxins. So Bruce has come to the conclusion that if we want the best vaccine system in the world we should actually focus on creating oral vaccines in nature's original way. Bruce H.

| Bruce Craig: New Warrior Training to Develop the Authentic, Mature Masculine via The Mankind Project | 11 Apr 2018 | 00:59:23 | |
In our society most of the models given are by media or peer groups or sports stars and they are very one dimensional - and young men are doing this in an unhealthy ways - drinking a lot, doing drugs, a lot of sex with a lot of women and a lot of men, driving their cars fast and basically acting out of integrity and being foolish. Being aware of this the Mankind Project came about in the early 1990’s in America, where three men got together wanting to take the conversation further, on men - especially around men’s masculinity and have men connect with their deeper purpose. For indigenous cultures over millennia have had ceremony and initiations to bring young men into adulthood, to become responsible and accountable for their actions. This included being an integral member of the tribe and taking their rightful place within that community. The Mankind Project knowingly acknowledge this saying, there is also another way - a more relevant and conscious way to become a man in the modern world. As against a sensitive new age wuss or limp wrist response, they take young men through a rite of passage where men learn how to become responsible as to how we show up in the world. That our relationship to ourselves becomes very important Part of an initiation is an ordeal. MKP takes men deep into their psyche to see what really makes them tick … and it is done through the new warrior training adventure the ‘hero’s journey’ - a gateway to a whole new paradigm. | |||
| Tui Manua Alia Taputu Nui O Iva: Can All Pacific Peoples of the Polynesian Triangle Unify? | 04 Apr 2018 | 00:59:56 | |
Situated near the centre of this huge area sits the Cook Islands, Rarotonga and Atiu the tiny island that Captain Cook first visited in 1777. Tui is a descendent of a paramount chief, who in turn is a descendent of a paramount chief of the island of Atiu, in the heart of the Polynesian Triangle. The island is about half the size of Rarotonga. Legend says Tangaroa, the divine god of the sea, was the first inhabitant. The first recorded European to arrive at Atiu was Captain Cook. He sighted the island on March 31, 1777 and made tentative contact with some of the people. Captain Cook never knew about the larger island of Rarotonga. In this interview we learn about a way of life that is very different to present day ways in the West and especially about what is culture and what is custom. As the Cook Islands are situated in the centre of the Polynesian Triangle Tu shares with us his heart felt cause for unifying the Polynesian peoples across the expansive Pacific ocean. Pacific - Mid 16th century: from French pacifique or Latin pacificus ‘peacemaking’, from pax, pac - ‘peace’. | |||
| Will Wilkinson: Are you ready to act and be the change you wish to see in the world? | 28 Mar 2018 | 01:00:01 | |
So he has localised his action and focus, to ‘pulling the strings of individuals into both unity consciousness and community’ - by bringing us cohesively closer together. In doing so, expanding outward yet recognising our inner world - the core of our being. When I first met Will here in New Zealand, his relaxed manner made him easy to talk and engage with. I felt him as considerate and able to listen to who I was. I also got that he was focused - that he really meant that his ‘Now of Never’ call for humanity is both urgent and valid. That if children of today and tomorrow want a future of freedom, peace and prosperity - we have to start now. Not only that - he is calling us all to participate. All of us who realise the precarious state that we have on our planet, be it environmental, economical and societal. Why? Because at heart - we intuitively know that what is happening to humanity goes against the grain of how a human being lives on a planet. Especially in a family context where love and connection need to be the foundations of a healthy existence. So how are we going to ‘take back our planet and biosphere? This interview touches on many subjects - that of being how to focus and also how to flow and be one with nature. It also calls on us to be not only mindful and compassionate - but also to be courageous and show strength of purpose. In this interview you get the measure of the man - by his vision, commitment and his sensitivity to take a stand and walk his talk. | |||
| Tim Lynch: Has China stolen a march on the US? As it increasingly strides the main stage | 14 Mar 2018 | 00:59:23 | |
Whilst the US, has been distracted and immersed in ‘Neocon’ wars, especially in the Middle East and elsewhere it basically has no money to upgrade its own countries infrastructure. From Communism to Consumerism Since Paramount Leader Deng opened up China to far-reaching market-economy reforms in 1978, China has increasingly impacted the whole world. With 1.3 billion people, in comparison to the USA’s 320 million - we are now seeing the might of ‘the China effect’. This has far reaching implications for our planetary ecology and geo-politics. Will China’s appetite for growth and ‘soft power’ - also take us beyond the environmental global tipping point?
Tim gives us a brief summary of his recent visit as to what is happening across the ever changing face of China and what portends to the future of quite possibly the human endeavor - in a world that is in need of wisdom, consciousness and leadership. | |||
| Katherine Smith: NZ's newest magazine reveals the truth about Covid vaccines and treatments | 29 Apr 2021 | 01:00:00 | |
(For example I, Tim - wanted to have this as the heading for this interview:) Katherine Smith: Covid - the truth about vaccines that Pfizer & the NZ Govt are deliberately hiding. However, in deferring to her as the founding Editor of The Real News - you can recognise her measured response to be a serious voice of reason - in the midst of the current moral malaise of the local and global Fourth Estate. The Interview: Listen This is critical information … New data coming out is that Covid19 is in some respects a vitamin D deficiency disease. However there has been startling alternative results that are being totally censored by MSM and Governments. (Same old - same old). MEDSAFE NZ has asked Pfizer 58 questions relating to the vaccine - especially what is in it - and Pfizer are falling back on confidentiality due to it being their intellectual property. So on one hand they say we are in a global crisis and on the other hand tell us to pay now - money up front. Corporations - we know what drives you. The trials for the research and data on this particular Pfizer vaccine do not end until 2023 - and yet the NZ Government are herding NZers like sheep into pens ready to vaccinate them all. Thus we here have become an experiment .... with no guarantees or insurance cover of any kind. None Zilch Zero compensation. Plus Pfizer is immune to any liability whatsoever. They have a free pass and our Government has capitulated to them ... this is compounded madness and insanity - whilst Mainstream Media do what they do best - by changing the subject and pretending that we are not to be concerned. Listen to the Government myth that vaccines are safe for pregnant women. LISTEN - because there have been no tests on pregnant women. What is also in this vaccine is PEG polyethylene glycol - and if you have heard these words before you will find them in a bottle of antifreeze for your car - when used in sub zero weather related conditions. As previously stated MedSafe here in NZ has asked Pfizer to answer 58 questions - regarding this vaccine and yet the answers have not been forthcoming. The 2nd Edition has now been published as print - but not yet in digital form. However click and gather other important information in the meantime. Kia Kaha & Aroha | |||
| David Holden & Bruce Lipton: Changing our mind and belief systems, plus new natural science and methods | 28 Feb 2018 | 01:00:00 | |
Right from the start both of these very articulate communicators share their knowingness as to the challenges and opportunities to heal what is becoming the affliction of the human race. Cancer! What I like about them is that ever since knowing them - they have been focusing on encouraging us to see our body in a new light - to see that we need not be a victim of our genetic make up and that when we look beyond, into the quantum levels of the subatomic realms - new possibilities come into being. This requires a shift in awareness, in consciousness - that we are energy fields in a localised planetary field that is embedded in a universal energy field - is opening up new vistas of not only health and healing, but living, our philosophy in life and indeed - our cosmology. If perhaps you are aware of what’s happening in the realm of health and healing, there are some exceptionally unique perspectives being offered. Speakers at this symposium include leaders in their particular fields, from the United States, Australia and New Zealand:, Jack Tips ND PhD, Dr Allan Frankel MD, Ty Bollinger, Glen Gillard ND, Greg Fredericks NMD, Dr Robin Kelly MD, Prof Bill Watson, Katherine Smith, Jon Eisen and Kim Knight. The International Holistic Cancer Symposium (IHCS) is a regular conference organized by health professionals, the purpose being to share scientific evidence-based research on cancer prevention, treatment, management and support, and providing knowledge that encompasses treating the whole person, not just cancer tumours. It is a resource for all those who are interested in an evidence-based holistic approach to cancer. The IHCS is for Governmental Agencies, Medical, Allied and CAM health practitioners, Cancer Support Organisations and Cancer NGO’s and Cancer patient lobby groups.

| Dr Phil Gregory: Regenerative & (Biological) Agriculture - a revolution in holistic land and farm management | 14 Feb 2018 | 00:58:16 | |
Regenerative & (Biological) Agriculture Regenerative & (Biological) Agriculture can be and needs to be initiated very quickly over the face of all arable land in all the major countries on earth. This common sense system needs to be championed by all academics, farmers, and environmentalists - then the human society - if we want a future for our children. Regeneration of the soil The regeneration of soil through non chemical fertilisers with the conscious choice of mineral applications using regenerative and biological agricultural practices, can be and has to commence as soon as possible - it need not be delayed any longer. What Phil Gregory PhD is saying has already been initiated by pioneers Graeme Sait, Ardern Andersen, Susan Jones and Elaine Ingham. We now have the answers - what we need now is the education and the will to implement this model of land management - and finally take down this C02 bogey - once and for all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3rhjqzVrRc Taking down sequestering Co2 and building up soil This is no longer a problem without a solution - Regenerative and biological agriculture is the solution and formula to global warming including soil loss and unhealthy animals and food chain. The time is to start as soon as possible - with Government support across all levels of agriculture - and this needs trumpeting at the highest levels of government, business, and especially the media. Pushing back the barriers of unknowingness. Phil, Gregory was an astronomer who as part of a large scientific team used to study the night skies and during his later years was part of a huge awakening that there were planets orbiting stars in our galaxy. That in the last 25 or so years astronomers using the latest technological breakthroughs have found thousands of new planets - which is a gigantic step in breaking out of the isolation of the scientific mindset that did not or could not believe that there would be other planets circling stars not only throughout our galaxy of a 100 billion stars, but all the other billions of galaxies in existence as well. He also surmises that in 30 years time we may know if there is life on these planets. Only 60 years of Farming Left if Soil Degradation Continues After retiring from his chosen profession of Astronomy, one day whilst browsing through a Scientific American journal he read a piece by the UN Food and Agricultural Organisation that there is only 60 years of farming left if soil degradation continues ! 60 Years - that’s no time at all, he exclaimed! So this immediately caught his attention - for having 14 grandchildren he realised that we would be leaving them in a very unstable world and so he committed to finding a way to taking carbon out of the atmosphere and sequestering it into the soil - that in turn supports the microbes which then assists in roots growth and plant life prospering. Global Food Security - what are the issues This 60 year only timeline lead him to also research all aspects of desertification and animal grazing - that are all imperative issues towards global food security. Accessing Free use of Global Data As an ex university professor he had free access to all the global literature on earth - so has been able to cast a wide net that enabled him to work out what is happening with the soils, the atmosphere including rainfall, erosion etc, etc. Whereas all the professional agronomists he came across, unless they are affiliated directly with a university - it costs them hugely - up to US$17.00 to read just one paper - whereas to become more knowing you need to read hundreds of papers - so this means that the agronomists are so far behind in their understanding of nature and in particular soil science and microbial activity. Professional Agronomists lack knowledge on micro flora and soil This shocked Phil, because in the process in communicating with them, he found them woefully ignorant about current knowledge. Especially, of how soil bacteria and fungi actually work with plants, in taking out of the atmosphere carbon and the mechanisms of breaking down soil compounds making them more available for roots hairs to feed plants the required food for growth, etc Soil structure and micro-organisms and what they do - (has been a complete eye opener for Phil) Even if we stop burning fossil fuels today - the gases (including methane escaping the permafrost) are still going to remain in the atmosphere for a long time. - They are still going to continue warming our planet for hundreds of year into the future - so not are we having to stop putting gases up into the atmosphere - we have to bring them back and get them out of the atmospheric envelope that surrounds our planet. There are Natural Solutions that can Solve Global Warming. Once he stumbled into the literature he started making connections and one link lead to another and as he followed these ’natural’ connections he became very excited - and though he found very little info from the Canadian authorities - he found a large amount of interesting information and material within the branches of the US Department of Agriculture especially in the natural resources - services section where they had many tutorials on the soil food web by Doctor Elaine Ingham one of the pioneers. This video link is of Phil Gregory telling his important story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWILIYSf5ts He also found on Ted Talks - Allan Savoury from Zimbabwe - it made sense - it is not necessarily animal numbers - it’s the timing of the seasons that is important. The US Department of Agriculture - especially in the natural resources - services section made a large contribution in the connection in the dots for Phil. Don Rocoski - no till no Till - Washington Post 11.9.13 by BraD PLUMBER No till farming is on the rise …don rykovsky No turning of soil at all Don Rykovsky powerpoints This link - that is a power point is a superb contribution and statement as to what needs to be done http://www.phas.ubc.ca/~gregory/papers/GregoryBowenIslandPresentation24Jan2017sht.pdf Saskatchewan Soil Conservation Society Also early on in his research he found that in Saskatchewan up to 60% of the framers were engaged in no till farming - which means no turning over or ploughing the soil - Now today nearly 100% of them have gone no till. This was also seen as a possible avenue of obtaining Government subsidies for soil sequestration - even though they were a little way ahead of the govt at the time. So spent a lot of time in measuring how soils carbon could be requested and they now have good data from 167 farms over a span of 14 years and these farms are fairly large. What they have deduced is that the farmers can sequester around 1 tonne of carbon per hectare per year. Which translates to the equivalent of taking 21 million cars off the road. Thus the Saskatchewan farmers who only had one cash crop every two years were able to then have one cash crop per year and they went from the red into the black - and making money This took Phil deeper into his quest for regenerative agriculture - where you not only sequester carbon from the atmosphere but you restore the biology to the soil, the microflora - and you move away from the chemical paradigm to a biological paradigm, which after all - this is how nature evolved . Nature has all the microbes in the soil and that hidden universe which as up until very recently has been a hidden universe. These microbes mine all the nutrients that these plants need - from the rocks and silt and clay - and nitrogen from the atmosphere - you get the works - all for free -without having to pay money to plough your fields or pay money for the chemicals - if we are conscious enough to learn and copy nature. The next step is to inoculate the soil with a real good fertiliser and get those microbes back active again. By only putting NPK - nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium the plant (sort of) thinks that it has some ‘party food’ here, that I do not need to share with the microbes and any of my root exudates - I can instead hold onto those, because I am addicted to NPK. So that the barter system that existed between the plants feeding the sugars and the carbon - the energy pills to the microbes starts to fracture - And the microbes in return supplying all the other trace minerals and all the other elements that the plant needs - that barter system is ‘now broken’ - its interrupted because the plants become addicted to the easy life - but of course these salts that have been put on - these fertilising salts that have been put on, dissolve in water and 80% of them wash off into the rivers causing all kinds of problems - algae blooms - nitrates in the water are very dangerous - they reduce the amount of oxygen that the blood can transfer through the body - that there was a Nobel Prize was won when they realised that this was the basis of cancer - and Phil goes on to say that we have created mountains of problems basically though ignorance with the use of these chemicals. Listen to Phil talks about the predators and prey and even predators that prey on the predators - in a very dynamic system at a micro level - which is natures way - this high diversity of creating stability. So the bacteria and the fungi they are at the base of this system - they are being fed ‘carbon pellets’ (if you like) - through the sugars from the plants- who are attracting them to their root system - so the bacteria and fungi they will - if there is any NPK nitrogen , phosphorus and potassium they will love that - they will just gobble that up and store that in their body together with the4 carbon that they are receiving from the plant - and they will also take in any dead plant or matter and recycle that - plus they secrete also biotic glues as enzymes and organic acids. These organic acids in the case of fungal hyphae - these invisible strands that spread outward everywhere as mycelium networks - hold for example is a myclillium network - whist the individual hyphae are quite invisible - but if you take some common rock like feldspar and slice it - then polish it and you look at it under the microscope you will find all kinds of tiny microscopic tunnels - these are tunnels that have been made by the fungal hyphae - they are actually burrowing in to the rock - and mining the elements - the basic elements that that rock is made of - pulling these laments back into their bodies and they eventually transfer these elements to the plant. Which in Phil’s words is quite magical. In 2015 Scientific American article states that in its title - the Biggest mining operation in the world is carried out by fungal networks. So all these fungal networks are pulling in all these resources and in return for the carbon - but you have to keep it mind that those fungi and bacteria - they like the elements as well and they need them in high concentrations to exist in nature. So they are also not readily wanting to pass on these or give them up - and this is where the predatory protozoa of bacteria and fungi come along and feast up - and they end up with an excess of nitrogen - too much is toxic so they excrete it out - poop it out and they happen to be right next to the plant roots - because the plants are attracting and feeding their prey and all are in extremely close proximity - as they are wanting carbon that the plant extracts from the atmosphere. So that at any given time in an agricultural field - 99% of the elements that the plants need are locked up in the bacteria and fungi - and only at the rate that which the plants need it (as the plants are orchestrating all this) do the predators come along and covert by eating right amount of bacteria and fungi - create the correct amount of poop with is then taken up by the root hairs and feed the plant. So this is one of the mysteries that the chemical world has not appreciated (Big Pharma) because they do not really want to know the biological understandingof how to unlock the secrets of the soil. They just want sales of nitrogen and chemicals to drive these into the plants - so that they can up production - and eventually get their money back - with zero respect of the land, soil and the microflora in the soil. Which degrades the soils that eventually either erode in floods or is blown away by the wind. Bacteria and fungi help open up the ground so that both air and water can percolate deeper allowing for roots to penetrate down to greater depths into the soil - thus able to withstand drought and flooding Listen this is fascinating stuff that every farmer and gardener needs to get their head around if they wish to become far more self reliant and resilient in the face of rapidly changing climate change and weather fluctuations. Covering how microflora create soil structure - to get oxygen and water deep down into the ground - because plant roots will only grow deep if they have access to wattle and oxygen. Plant roots can grow well over a metre deep - thus can resist long periods of drought as there will be both food, oxygen and moisture down there. So the imperative is for NZ farmers to study and research this and not be talked into continuing the old paradigm of more chemicals being added to their farmland. When North America was being opened up in the pioneering days of colonial expansion the farmers dug down following certain grass roots to over 3o feet down . Dr Rlaine Ingham - the soil food web inc - Listen how trees can have 150 foot deep roots and that a tree fed on the surface can transport this liquid matter down to its roots 150 feet down in a matter of 10 minutes! Plough causing a compaction layers just below the depth of the plough and this hardens the soil. At the same time when ploughing you ares slicing and dicing the fungi networks destroying all the magnificence of soil structure - what the bacteria and microflora have magically put in place. These are like underground cities and as Phil cals them buildings and networks that the microbes have created - were annihilated and the soils loses its integrity as all the fungi and biotic glues from the bacteria just dry up - so that it is free to be both blown and washed away! its only in the last 30 years have we realised the damage that we have been doing … added to this it is only via microscopic instruments have we been able to study also what these microbes are doing - what is theirtr role in nature. This was in 1985 when Elaine Ingham and her husband in 1985 exposed this knowledge to the world.- And that paper was not received immediately very well. Many did not beleive that nature had this ‘bartering system’ that was going on. It was not dod eat dog and survival od the fittest - but a more cooperative notion that old ideology refused to acknowledge. then in 1991 others rediscovered their work and it has expanded vastly since then. Phil did a university search on root exudate or plant exudate which is a key part of she discovery - now 2016 over 2000 papers on this coming to light.- focussed on the bartering system Dr Teage and 14 orhwr authors - sequester carbon in the soil Soil erosion resulting form agriculture is actually a large contributor to greenhouse gases = 28% of the problem of greenhouse gasses Agriculture is producing 14 - 15% of greenhouse gases - but soil erosion but what about the rest - 72% - thats fossil fuel burning? yet regenerative agriculture in all its aspects - animals and crops - not mono culture but diversified crops - including cover crops so that there is always green material with roots in the ground - plus old farms had orchards, gardens pigs goats cows, sheep and horses - very diversified - resulting in the regenerative management of animals if we did regenerative agriculture planet round we would instantly remove that 28% - but you would ake down 120% of the greenhouse gasses from all sources that are being released - back into the ground so under modest assumptions over the entire earth - we would be requesting 150% of the GHG we are currently putting up now! To the degree that water a time we would have to slow this down so as to not have our planet cool too much - a delightful dilemma to be in Listen to Phil spell out the maths and the assumptions that include all forms of GHG from transportation - energy lighting - you name it - deforestation and methane expelling. Based on 3 tones of carbon sequester for every hectare - every year *Gabe Brown - browns ranch.us *Dr David Johnson in Arizona - rapid sequestration up to 24 tonnes per hectare - with the US Department of Ag doing the measurements for carbon - maybe only 20% of the arable land needed to pull this carbon out of the atmosphere.

| Will Wilkinson: It’s Now or Never! For a planet in crisis we need to activate ‘local heroes’ like us | 25 Jan 2018 | 00:59:59 | |
We at heart know that we cannot stand aside and allow our children and grandchildren to be overtaken by continued degradation of our magnificent home planet, anymore - This along with the moral and ethical malaise that daily via unfaithful (MSM) media erodes our efforts of goodwill, truth, joy and connection. Taking a Stand We know that we have to take a stand. Why? Because there is no leader - particularly in the political domain calling for and standing up for the future of children and the biosphere. We are realising that we must be the ones to take this stand. At the deepest level of soul - this is the incarnation that we have committed to - to make the shift of the ages and take back our planet as a bio harmonic living Gaian system as well as integrating and dissolving into a loving, holistic global family. Will Wilkinson who has been a dynamic community activist on the West Coast of the US ever since the late 60’s has said - ‘enough of the old paradigm’ and is visiting NZ, which due to its geographical location ‘sees tomorrow first.’ Another Way of Seeing Who We Are Will is here to explore and share how we as ‘cells of the planetary body’ can connect with other localised cells and clusters of cells - and self organise our way to creating the trim tab factor* and finally break free of the old thought patterns of dysfunction and fragmentation. By dynamically awakening possibilities within our own being - and across our nation - especially in small clusters of cells ‘we finally come together’ and become an inspiration for the rest of the world - hungry for positive community based change, peace and perpetual optimism. The imperative being we must break free of dystopian movies and propaganda and instead plant and germinate seeds of heart oriented change and connection - that we intuitively hold so dearly - and we need to do it now. This very short 55 minute interview with Will, will allow you to feel his sensitivity and his inherent knowingness that this is a time for service to the greater good and the larger whole. Now or Never - the Book. His Now or Never book puts a stake in hallowed ground - to gracefully initiate change at multiple levels. With Sacred Activist - Andrew Harvey’s gripping Forward and acknowledgements by numerous holistic and transformational leaders of North America - Will’s lead-in - captivating first chapter - sets the template for enabling this long awaited global transfiguration to finally show up and take place. Will is taking a workshop on the 10th and 11th of February 2018 here in Auckland including a free evening info talk prior to this event. Wednesday 7 February OR Thursday 8 February 7.00pm to 9.00pm at 137 Hinemoa Street Birkenhead Auckland. To Register for any of these events people can PHONE 09 418 2971 or EMAIL nowornever2018nz@gmail.com In reading his book -and talking with Will, I can easily feel that Will is a fellow traveller - a Renaissance initiator, journeyman, crew member, Gaian, inner voyager and lover of the natural world and all biota. He is happily married and his wife will be accompanying him on his trip around the curve of the great mother - to be with us. To me it will be well worth being in Will's orbit whilst he is here in Aotearoa - he having journeyed here twice before. For those anywhere in NZ beyond Auckland - please click on Planetaudio.org.nz - and play ‘listen now’ at 8am Thursday the 25th NZ time and it will stream direct to you. The Trim Tab Factor * The Trim tab - is a very little rudder that is embedded in a larger rudder on say a yacht - whilst the main rudder is used to ‘point the yacht into the wind, it then sets the course, but by having this tiny little ‘trim tab’ rudder - set at a deeper angle/degree - what this does its subtly point the yacht ‘higher’ into the wind that it will not be noticed over say 10 to 20 kilometres but over a hundred to two hundred kilometres the yacht is seen to be half a degree more into the wind’ Hence getting ‘a jump’ on the other yachts that do not have a trim tab rudder - it then is at a greater advantage in taking the lead. - This is where NZ can position itself when we have ‘conscious’ governance. We Are All Nerve Endings of Mother Earth - Gaia James Lovelock who reminded us of Gaia - intimates that we 7.6 billion human beings are the nerve endings of Mother Earth. (i.e cells) That when someone stands up in the Amazon basin with a sign that says ’No more deforestation’ they are a nerve ending of the planetary body stating that this part of Mother Earth is suffering hugely. Same for a person standing with a sign in Palestine - stating ‘ Peace Not War” - they are telling all other nerve endings globally who see this, that this part of Mother Earth is in horrific trauma and needs healing. Will is here as a ‘conscious nerve ending’ - to share with us ways to bring a greater consciousness to the other 7 billion plus nerve endings - and who all share breath. Question? Do you wake up in the morning happy with the world and thrilled to be alive? Well that may have been the case a long time ago - yet we are witnessing daily a world in turmoil with no respite whatsoever in sight. Answers? Have you any answers to this situation we have all found ourselves in? With 7.6 billion humans living on a spectacular planet that lends us bodies, free air, free rainwater and until recently a free food chain, how is it that as inhabitants on this tiny blue planet - orbiting a moderate size sun, midway on the outer arm of a medium size galaxy we call the Milky Way - have found ourselves captive to a deceptive psychological mind game that instead of realising that we all share breath as a global family - we have been programmed and polarised into fortified areas of us versus them. Every major country is building up arms at increasingly costly levels - as military industrial machines compete with each other in an escalation that defies description. Over one $trillion a year is being thrown into death and suffering and yet humanity have no say as unconscious governments pretending to be democratic - are not interested in resolving conflicts across borders - and instead obstinately dig in and ramp up fear. Well as in the introduction - it’s time for a stand - and to hold the line. ‘We’ Are a Grass Roots Evolution Yes, this is a grassroots evolution - it's the only way we can displace and grow around the top down pyramid model that has set the template of control for millennia. Localised grass roots networks are the key to claiming back ‘the commons’ and it is with your help and commitment it can be achieved. Hence Will’s fortuitous arrival here in NZ. By being an activated conscious cell (nerve ending) - communicating and connecting with other cells and allowing synergistic energies to synchronistically come into being - this is when intuition and group dynamics inspire us with innovative and novel ways of growing into a greater dynamic whole. Connection is everything Connection is everything, just like shared breath - and as we know many trees have deep rooted systems that connect like gigantic mycorrhizal fungal networks of underground hypha - that link with other tree roots which commonly knit as the ‘world wood network’ - They can communicate and collectively manage resources, thanks to “some kind of electrochemical communication between the tree roots” We now have to become this knowing and resourceful, if we want our children and grandchildren to have a free prosperous and peaceful future as we are at multiple tipping points within the biosphere’s increasingly delicate ecology. Nature does not have anywhere near enough time to evolve systems of balance, change and compensation - due to the increasing global population that has been programmed to own more and more planned obsolescent material products and things. What Will is here in NZ for is to take willing self motivated us, through three powerful stages of learning. He has the skills and the know-how to teach us and empower us make this jump in changing old habits and patterns. With the people that he trains - they can go out and train another group of people - replicating his methods and inspiring us. This is how we can be change agents of conscious evolution - and take us into a new paradigm of mindfulness goodwill and global family. To do nothing is not an option. It’s ‘Now or Never’ | |||
| Bryan Bruce: NZ Public Television (NZPTV) Giving Kiwis power and place to share our stories | 20 Dec 2017 | 01:00:01 | |
It’s 'Our Place’, to do our thing. Kiwis can put quality-made programmes up on the site. He says it asks of Kiwis “What are you going to DO with this new resource? You can MAKE things with this. You don’t have to ask permission” . At 6.24, Bryan explains the problem with our current NZ media: a producer has to go through the gateways of the commercial television channels who really are trying to assess your programme on the one question of : “How big an audience can you bring to the commercial gaps?”. It has always been thus. And if you’re good at that, then they will buy your next programme. It’s not about how good a programme is, it’s about what kind of audience? and how big will it be? to cater to the advertisers in the commercial gaps - and it all comes down to producing money instead of quality. At 7.16, Bryan says the main channels are going to self-edit. They re not going to take a programme that is not going to fit well with their sponsors. The other side of it is we tend to think of government- funded broadcasters as being more independent, but that is not true either, because they are not going ‘to bite the hand that feeds them’ and stand up to their government money-source. If mainstream media gets money from a business, then that piper calls the tune. At 7.46, Bryan explains that the idea for this came up about 3 years ago when he walked out of TVNZ one day having had it explained to him that his programme on health was probably going to get lots of ratings but “Really we’re not necessarily into the business of doing programmes in the public good. They have to be commercial because we might sell ourselves off one day” . Bryan walked out of that building and thought: “ Well, if these guys aren’t going to do NZ public television, maybe I can.”. Bryan registered a company called ‘NZ Public Television Ltd”, and he talked to friends: “ If you were starting television today, you wouldn’t do it in the way that the BBC told us how to do it all those years ago - no big dishes, sky satellites, large building. How would we do it today ?” At 8.43, he says the answer is clear: we’d use the World Wide Web. And how would we put our programmes up? When Bryan talked to servers , they had gleeful visions of making lots of money out of this being a version of Netflix. But Bryan instead saw it as a bus station. You, the viewer, come to NZPTV to be pointed in the right direction of a programme that someone else is hosting on Vimeo or YouTube or other sites. So NZPTV is a curator of quality programmes with NZ content. And at 9.13 he says the producers and their websites - the people who own the copyright to their own work- will be acknowledged . At the same time, NZPTV will also make its own programmes and put those up on NZPTV Vimeo and direct viewers to that content also. So Vimeo might be the host of a programme but NZPTV will direct traffic there. At its core, the aim is to work out how to make cost-effective television and then also make it a People’s Channel which says - Look , you might see Bryan Bruce or others doing an introduction but it’s not his channel, it’s OUR channel. NZPTV will also help producers. Bryan says he has been to see NZ on Air and asked how many eyeballs a week does NZPTV need for independent producers to be able to be funded to make and put their programme up on this new platform. “ They couldn’t tell me” he says. At 10.07, he says “ This is a new world for them !” NZ on Air don’t know what the numbers might be so NZPTV will educate them on what the numbers CAN be. At 11.30, Bryan talks of his own motivations in programme making: “ What I try to do in a programme is say “ Here’s a problem. How did we get to this? Let’s unpack it a bit and look at some solutions”. That’s where hope arises - rather than leave people in a dark place with overwhelming negative story-telling “ When he made ‘The Investigator’, each case involved some element of The Law that needed further examination - for example- David Tamihere was identified while wearing handcuffs outside the courtroom . Was this a correct identification? And what are the rules for identifying someone? The Defence said this was unfair. The Court allowed it- so now there are new rules that apply to each of us. At 13.20 Bryan says when making a programme it’s important that you’re not just doing ti because ‘crime rates’. Why are you upsetting people and going through all of this misery again for the families that were involved for no good reason? At 13.39 Bryan says he encourages producers to ask ‘Why am I making this? What is the outcome I want to have from it?”. At 14.41 he says the question we all need to ask is “ Who owns the media now? Who owns the way that our attitudes and our opinions and our thoughts about life are formed?” . The Big Questions to ask are “ Who -How-What -Where- Why”. He says those questions are often not being asked in journalism today. “ It worries me. I watch reporters ask very simple questions - even , are you having a nice day ?”. At 16.14 he says he sees Free Media and True Democracy as connected . At the start of the last century, the total number of people you could address verbally was on a street corner through megaphone. But the end of the 20th Century, you could address the whole world through the various media and now with the internet, you can reach places that don’t even have broadcast facilities but have telephone lines. At 17.01, he says “ If you can control the means of talking to people, whether for your private ends or for the government’s ends, that’s a lot of power. That’s actually a means of accumulating power. And now what NZPTV does is give the power BACK to the People and says “ YOU are in control of the stories” . At 19.05 he says this is a Wake Up. it’s more than just a channel. “ We’ll grow as much as the People want to do it. My call is out to independent producers. Our gateway is much wider than any of the public or private broadcasters. You can come to us with a programme provided that it is professionally made , something you might see on a commercial channel in terms of its quality of production. For example, if you have made a programme about the TPPA or Water Issues, and you’ve done your homework and kept to the Broadcasting Standards Authority issues of fairness and balance . At 21.04 he explains balance in the context of his programme 'Jesus, the Cold Case' which was criticised because Bryan talked to certain theologians but not others. He says that the ‘balance’ is that, on any given day, a viewer can turn to the Christian channels and hear the opposite view. It’s equally so for NZPTV, which would make sure that, with a controversial programme, then somewhere there is the counter view shown, or NZPTV itself would run the counter view so the viewer could see both sides. At 22.00 he says that it’s not true to say there are NO editing gateways to go through, but they relate more to the legal ones- you cannot defame people , and if it’s an argument for one viewpoint, it must be well though out , or if it’s science-based, it must be peer -reviewed. But at 22.19, he says NZPTV is not going to say to a producer “ It doesn’t quite fit with our sponsors” (because there are no sponsors of the channel)- or “It doesn’t quite fit with our ‘brand’ “ (which is commonly heard in Mainstream Media ). In fact The NZPTV ‘Brand’ is Independence ! “ If it fits with that, we should have it “. At 23.23 Bryan underlines that “ If we don’t hold on to life rafts like this , we’re all going to drown”. At 24.19, he says public education has taught questioning and yet we have a media that tried to manipulate popped who are actually very intelligent . “ I’m always amazed at the wisdom that comes out of people from whom, at face value, you wouldn’t assume that wisdom”. At 24.50, he gives an anecdote from a programme he made called “Stand By Your Man’ about three women whose partners had committed major crimes. “ And she said “ They never fixed his drug and alcohol addiction - and that was his problem” And you’re just about to move from this interviewee, when suddenly they come out with this absolutely insightful gem about what we’re NOT doing for men or women in prison. We’re not addressing the issues that have led to them being IN there!” At 27.55 Bryan outlines that one of the ways that governments gain power over us is: if they don’t collect data on, for example, how much Chinese money is coming in to the country, then they can pretend it isn’t a problem. No one knows! “ Oh”, they say “ it’s all just anecdotal. You’re just bashing the Chinese”. Bryan says "NO! I’m saying: let’s collect the data! You’re giving away visas to very wealthy people - gold visas. If you have ten million you can buy a residency in our country . But what are these people DOING for our country ? And where is that money going ?”. And the answer comes back from the government: “I’m sorry we don’t know because we don’t follow the money trail” . At 29.10, Bryan suggests that one of the roles for NZPTV is to encourage independent producers to pick a topic, investigate it, and bring us the data that the government is not collecting because it’s' inconvenient ‘. “ The last thing that governments want is inconvenient truths”. At 29.58 he says that if you DO your homework and collate the data, then policy changes” . At 30.23 he talks of the effect of his programme ‘Inside Child Poverty” which went out on TV3 the week of the election in 2011. "There was a debate about whether it should have been screened in election week, driven by right wing commentators like Sean Plunkett who said Bryan Bruce should not be funded to make programmes like this! Then a marvellous thing happened. The National Government which had initially said “ This is made up by a left wing journalist”, then started to change its tune and admitted “ Well it might exist but we can’t measure it”. Then the Children’s Commissioner Russell Wills said “ Ok, I’ll get a group off academics together and we WILL measure it” They put out an amazing report. It could not be ignored any more. The word “child poverty’ became part of our vernacular. And by the NEXT election it was an election issue” . So Bryan uses this example to say that this is what we can do as media people: we can investigate, we can collate data, we can inspire people. He credits The Child Poverty Action Group with inspired him to make the programme . He says they had been doing their work for years and he thought “ Well maybe I have few skills in terms of taking complicated things and trying to make them understandable - and that was my role. Something like 580 thousand Kiwis watched that programme and then the Public started asking questions. I had offered the programme to TVNZ and I seem to remember someone saying “ Who’s going to watch a programme with ‘Poverty’ in the title?” ( and 580,000 viewers is up there with All Black fixture numbers in terms of ratings ) “ . At 33.17, Bryan says NZPTV is not competitive- but rather, co-operative. “ We could make a programme that is of great public interest and make it in a dynamic way. We could take the online rights and a mainstream media outlet could take the broadcast rights. That would be an adult way of dealing with different kinds of distribution “ At 34.48, Bryan says it’s no accident that one of the longest running programmes in this country is called ‘Fair Go’. He feels that deep down, most Kiwis believe in a fair go and many of felt terribly betrayed by 1984 and the adoption of Neo Liberalism and being told it was the only way we could go. “ Well it wasn’t. there are about 30 different kinds of capitalism in the world and if you look at what happened in Scandinavia, they took a deep breath and paused - and then they adopted certain elements ONLY. They fenced off policies to do with children, the elderly and housing, and then they said they would allow OTHER policy to be more entrepreneurial . Whereas in New Zealand , the government said “ ALL of that is wrong and this new evangelistic way is right, and there is now only ONE way to do this”. Bryan cites David Lange’s book which shows he later realised this was the worst thing he did. In fact, he may not have fully understood it and “ To be fair, I’m not sure that many of us understood it at the time. I certainly didn’t” says Bryan. “ I did up one house and sold and got a better house. What I didn’t think about was that 20 years down the track, other people’s children would not be able to afford a house because of what I was doing - and many of us were doing. We were just doing the best by our families and we were encouraged to think that that’s what you should do. Even Roger Douglas may have thought he was doing the right thing. I’ve never spoken to him. I’d like to interview him. But the reality is; it WASN”T the right thing. It created a HUGE inequality. When the National Party came in afterwards and created The Mother of All Budgets under Ruth Richardson, then ALL of the childhood diseases that relate to poverty, skyrocketed. And that’s nothing to be proud of. That should have told anybody who had social concern that there is something fundamentally wrong with this economic system that is creating this.” . From 40.30 in, Bryan discusses the structure of NZ Public Television. At 50.09 he says one of the way it will benefit producers who have good product, is that they give that programme to NZPTV for free for 7 days and then it goes to the ‘Pay Per View’ section . But all that money goes directly to the producers, not to NZPTV. (This is also a reminder to viewers to check the weekly offerings on NZPTV as there is a brisk turnaround of programmes). At 53.07 Bryan says the whole idea of New Zealand Public Broadcasting is to return to an early idea of television: namely , using it to communicate with one another , to talk to each other.

| Greg Rzesniowiecki: How would it change the world, if the 9/11 Commission Report narrative is proven to be officially false? | 13 Dec 2017 | 00:56:48 | |
Greg has written the detailed notes below on the subject. WHAT IS OFFICIAL INFORMATION? Ask yourself what it would mean if the forensic truth of the 9/11 event became Official Information? Were that to happen, then the arms of justice would be enabled to investigate, charge, and prosecute the perpetrators, and pronounce sentence. Why would that matter? Well it may serve as a valuable deterrent to those who would undertake similar criminality, from further acts. The whole basis of the criminal justice system is to deter crime.
TWO PROPOSITIONS:
Which of the above has a strong coherence with reality A or B?
AN APPROACH TO FIND TRUTH IN A SEA OF SPIN: Greg asserts that there was a general rapprochement and trend toward de-escalation of aggression between the major powers at the turn of the century and millennium. Kyoto and UN Millenium Goals are indicative of this trend.
FALSE FLAGS – WHY CREATE A CRISIS WHERE ONE DIDN’T EXIST? Previously Governments and powerful actors have used false flag events as a means to disrupt the peace and move history in a particular direction. To make the case about False Flags take a few minutes to appreciate that these are common and often perpetrated by government actors: http://www.washingtonsblog.com/2016/02/58-admitted-false-flag-attacks.html
9/11 WHAT OCCURRED? In penetrating to the truth one needs to review the evidence and conflicting theories that are proffered to explain the evidence. Make sure one looks at all of the evidence, and that one can discriminate between factual and counterfactual. What happened on 9/11 see timeline below: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_for_the_day_of_the_September_11_attacks and, http://www.historycommons.org/timeline.jsp?timeline=complete_911_timeline&day_of_9/11=dayOf911
9/11 OFFICIAL TIMELINE 7:59a.m. American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767 carrying 81 passengers and 11 crew members, departs 14 minutes late from Logan International Airport in Boston, bound for Los Angeles International Airport. Five hijackers are aboard. 8:14 United Airlines Flight 175, a Boeing 767, carrying 56 passengers and nine crew members, departs 14 minutes late from Logan International Airport in Boston, bound for Los Angeles International Airport. Five hijackers are aboard. 8:14 Flight 11 is hijacked over central Massachusetts, turning southwest. 8:20 American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757 with 58 passengers and six crew members, departs 10 minutes late from Washington Dulles International Airport, for Los Angeles International Airport. Five hijackers are aboard. 8:42 United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 with 37 passengers and seven crew members, departs 42 minutes late from Newark International Airport, bound for San Francisco International Airport. Four hijackers are aboard. 8:42–8:46 (approx.) Flight 175 is hijacked above Albany, New York, about 140 miles north of New York City, turning south. 8:46:40 Flight 11 crashes into the north face of the North Tower (1 WTC) of the World Trade Center, between floors 93 and 99. The aircraft enters the tower intact. 8:50–8:54 (approx.) Flight 77 is hijacked above southern Ohio, turning to the southeast. 9:03:00 Flight 175 crashes into the south face of the South Tower (2 WTC) of the World Trade Center, between floors 77 and 85. Parts of the plane, including the starboard engine, leave the building from its east and north sides, falling to the ground six blocks away. 9:28m Flight 93 is hijacked above northern Ohio, turning to the southeast. 9:37:46 Flight 77 crashes into the western side of The Pentagon and starts a violent fire. 9:45 United States airspace is shut down. 9:59:00 The South Tower of the World Trade Center collapses, 56 minutes after the impact of Flight 175. 10:03:11 Flight 93 is crashed by its hijackers and passengers, due to fighting in the cockpit 80 miles (129 km) southeast of Pittsburgh in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Later reports indicate that passengers had learned about the World Trade Center and Pentagon crashes and were resisting the hijackers. The 9/11 Commission believed that Flight 93's target was either the United States Capitol building or the White House in Washington, D.C. 10:28:22 The North Tower of the World Trade Center collapses, 1 hour, 42 minutes after the impact of Flight 11. The Marriott Hotel, located at the base of the two towers, is also destroyed. 10:50:19 Five stories of part of the Pentagon collapse due to the fire. 5:20:33 p.m. 7 World Trade Center, a 47-story building, collapses (from Wikipedia; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_for_the_day_of_the_September_11_attacks )
MOTIVE: Motive is the same as it always is... create a crisis and profit from it... the fact that this one has been in the making for decades or longer doesn't lessen the truth of the motive nor the reality of it... control and profit. This time the crisis is large enough to ensure the solution is global. The same interests stopped or disrupted the Kyoto settlement. The world was heading toward a rapprochement at the end of the 20th Century. For "the Enterprise" to profit requires heightened insecurity. There's more to the motive that I cannot yet say with any certainty, however I keep digging and closing my eyes and allowing the truth to come in. One issue is the money gone/lost/misappropriated/redirected from the Pentagon budget announced by Rumsfeld the day before 9/11, US$2.3 trillion. The number is over 6 trillion now and unlikely to be sorted before 2020 or some such. Where is that going, or getting siphoned too? http://www.globalresearch.ca/pentagon-cannot-account-for-6-5-trillion-dollars/5541244 And the cost of the wars? Who gets that? https://sputniknews.com/us/201709291057824332-us-defense-department-more-lies/ http://scholar.harvard.edu/files/lbilmes/files/the_financial_legacy_of_afghanistan.pdf http://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2017/05/29/How-Will-We-Pay-6-Trillion-Bill-Wars-Iraq-and-Afghanistan
THE MOTIVE IS HOW TO GET THE US INTO WAR: War on Terror is the war to divide and conquer the world for those who are creative enough to imagine it and bold enough to do the deed. My paper in April 2016 to the Foreign Affairs Defence and Trade (FADT) NZ Parliamentary select committee's TPP treaty examination, is essential to appreciate the extent to which the US economy has been gutted and turned to reliance on munitions and security manufacturing and service provision. It addresses the post WW2 history and considers the plan laid out in the Project for the New American Century (PNAC) report; “Rebuilding America's Defenses” against that which is observed in the post 9/11 wars and the catalysing event or “new Pearl Harbour” crisis event that the report prophesised: Not only that - the whole war on terror became an opportunity to outsource or privatise the war making effort to companies such as the multinational corporation Halliburton, and the mercenaries across Afghanistan and Iraq etc.. The Rebuilding America's Defenses report advocated for a huge increase in military spending, preparedness and capacity to both transform the military and fight on multiple fronts/theatres... it was prophetic on so many levels that it must be considered a model, blueprint, or designer wish list. Wesley Clark's evidence of the War planning at the Pentagon, is also telling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RC1Mepk_Sw War economy on steroids = What is war about??? Ask Gen. Smedley Butler: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nStSg75BNY I came across his career in 2006/7. I wrote this in Nov 2007 on the eve of Armistice Day and then didn't write anything else for a few years, saying to myself what else is there to say... see essay "Lest We Forget" https://www.dropbox.com/s/7miq7ia5nfzwbl5/Lest%20We%20Forget.pdf?dl=0 My first bit of research into 911 was November 2006. (not all the links work anymore): https://www.dropbox.com/s/tpr03n4ni602h05/911%20The%20Greatest%20Lie.pdf?dl=0
LESSONS: Unless the 9/11 truth is properly considered, in all its ruthless genocidal ugliness, through Official Investigation and Justice systems, the litany of false flag events, already scorched into the history of power relations in the world, will continue. Our digression into criminal justice informs that opinion. What to do about it? What needs to happen to circumvent odious control of the Earth and its people? KEY POINTS: Whom ever controls the world, and "hijacked our peace with 9/11", then controls our NZ deep state. It co-opted the US state and made it go to war for a lie! Who said go 9/11? Answer this question and help the world toward peace! 9/11 and our alliance with the UK/US Empire got the NZ Defence force Community into the so-called Terrorist War on Afghanistan in October 2001, and Iraq in 2003, despite the NZ Government knowing that the Iraq war was criminal. HOW GREG SEES IT: The following is an essay I wrote December 2016 hi-lighting the material I've placed before the NZ Government, and the Official Information requests I've made, regarding what the government knew about 9/11, which are blocked from release by virtue of the Catch 22 nature of the Official Information Act provisions 6 a and b.
LIFTING THE LID BIT BY BIT: The lid appears to be lifted a little by elements of the semi-independent agencies and elements, however none in any serious media are looking at 9/11 truth. Wikileaks provides this... 9/11 pager transcripts from the day: https://911.wikileaks.org/files/index.html which requires a lot of time to get across. And others talk about Wikieaks in these terms on 9/11: http://911blogger.com/news/2010-07-22/wikileaks-founder-julian-assange-annoyed-911-truth
GATEKEEPERS KEEPING 9/11 TRUTH SUPPRESSED – why do they do this? George Monbiot and Noam Chomsky both go out of their way to belittle 9/11 conspiracy theorists, however people have done work to refute or rebut their rubbish: Chomsky: https://off-guardian.org/2016/10/11/analysis-of-the-sophistry-of-noam-chomsky-on-911/ Monbiot explains why he believes the official version in 2007:
FAKE NEWS AND CONSPIRACY THEORISING: Noticed the campaign commence in the immediate aftermath of Trump's election, with this article by Andrew Smith at the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/nov/25/pedlars-fake-news-corroding-democracy-social-networks ....to which I wrote the following critique and attempted to engage the Guardian comments moderators, who deleted my comment from the article.
HOW PEOPLE CAN ASSIST WITH THE DISPERSAL OF 9/11 TRUTH: Inform oneself about the forensic truth of the event. The perpetrators used nuclear devices amongst other agents to achieve the observed destruction. That one piece of information might be difficult to digest, however, what else accounts for the thousands of cancer deaths and diseases suffered by WTC First Responders, Ground Zero Workers, residents and workers from the WTC complex vicinity, particularly those in the path of the toxic dust cloud created with the steel and concrete of the WTC building structures: http://911history.de/aaannxyz_ch01_en.html "Solving 9/11" gets us to the Zionist connections to the event including fingerprints of the various IT, Intelligence and Security interests with so-called Israeli connections to the event: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/File:Solving_9-11.pdf In terms of evidence - "911 Research" is a repository of 9/11 discourse, evidence, photo, video, reports and assessments most of which were generated by 2006: Note 911 Research does not promote the no-jetliner thesis, however the evidence store is extensive, including the reports on the movement of WTC steel etc to the "killing fields" temp storage site. Note Killing Fields and associated areas display hi radioactivity. There is the evidence of insider trading suggesting foreknowledge of the event. However the crime is larger than that. A writer with the pseudonym EP Heidner wrote an extensive paper entitled "Collateral Damage" which highlights "the Enterprise and it's NSA/CIA connectivity and the relation to the so-called Japanese and German war treasures, known as the "Black Eagle Trust". Heidner makes the point that the Office of Naval Intelligence was investigating various securities when most of those from the office were killed on 9/11 - they were housed in the area of the Pentagon that the missile went into.... perhaps Heidner was a survivor or close to the investigation - that's one mystery, available at links: https://wikispooks.com/wiki/File:Collateral_Damage_-_part_1.pdf None of the above offer a whole truth, however each adds something to the jigsaw.. IT IS CLEAR THE OFFICIAL NARRATIVE IS FALSE: This fact in itself requires that truth be discovered and uncovered given the consequences as the US and its coalition of willing genocidal maniacs laid waste to the near East nations, Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Libya and Syria, now Yemen with the tension being ramped up on Iran and particularly North Korea. We need brave people bearing truth to take over the Official Information channels creating the ground for a full investigation of the 9/11 event. HOW DO WE EMPLOY OUR INTEREST IN 9/11 TO ‘MOBILISE FOR JAIL’ FOR THE PERPETRATORS:
STATEMENT OF INTENT: The clear requirement is that the people of the planet can no longer be held to ransom or terrorism by any entity. BIO: Greg Rzesniowiecki, aka Gregfullmoon, has evolved to fill the role of public advocate specifically on behalf of the public interest concerning the TPP. As is evident in the interview Greg has a wide set of interests which contribute to his perspective and worldview. Born in Australia, and having worked in engineering and as a union organiser, Greg moved to Motueka where he was a member of the Renewables a local climate action group. He quickly came to realise that unpacking the 9/11 event would have profound implications for public perception of their governments and the governance of the planet. Greg has spent considerable effort informing himself about the 9/11 evidence and what that means in respect to how the event was conceived, developed, and implemented and the consequences that flow from the conspiracy to punk the US government and people into believing the Muslim terrorists hijacking 4 planes and crashing them into US assets. Appreciating the 9/11 truth allows one to appreciate that your government is not your friend! It lies to cover up the 9/11 truth. It lies to covering up illegal war making and criminal aggression.

ADDENDUM: PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENTS BECOMING ACTIVE IN ATTEMPTING TO DEMONISE CONSPIRACY THEORISING AND INVESTIGATION - two instances amongst many:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ejsp.2331/epdf ...to which I responded with;
Also a complete think tank on the subject of conspiracy theorising in Europe is curtailing free speech: https://twitter.com/COST_conspiracy/status/911152729262829568 http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/ca/CA15101 http://www.cost.eu/COST_Actions/ca/CA15101?management Note: two (2) of the authors of the paper ,"Connecting the dots: Illusory pattern perception predicts belief in conspiracies and the supernatural" are on the COST Comparative Analysis of Conspiracy Theories (COMPACT) action committee... who's job is to... ...”this Action will adopt a comparative approach, investigating the causes, manifestations and effects of conspiracy theories in different regions and times, and drawing on insights from history, politics, sociology, anthropology, cultural studies and psychology. The Action will pursue the inquiry in three broad areas: the manifestations and modes of transmission of conspiracy theory in different historical and cultural contexts; the variety of actors and audiences involved in the production and consumption of conspiracy theories; and the psychological and cultural causes and political consequences of belief in conspiracy. Working closely with stakeholders, this Action will build a better understanding of conspiracy theories in order to develop an effective response to them.” At no point do they investigate the veracity of the Official Information that the conspiracy theory might question, or refute... i.e. the investigation of what happened to cause the 9/11 destruction experienced. Thus the psychology paper is bogus and unsubstantiated – it ought to not have been published. Greg. | |||
| Dr Hadas Ore: “Filling up the other Kete” The Polyfeminism of Contemporary Older Māori Jewish Women in NZ | 06 Dec 2017 | 00:58:55 | |
In this interview, Dr Hadas Ore speaks about contemporary Maori Jews, which is the subject for her post-doctoral project. There's been a Jewish History in New Zealand since the very beginning of the 19th Century - so it should come as no surprise that some of our population identify as Māori Jews. This is a segment population however, that most of us know very little about. Hadas is also interested in using her own social privileges, as a Jewish-Israeli academic woman, for ameliorating the Palestinian situation by speaking out about it. We discuss this later in the interview. JEWISH HISTORY IN NZ: This interview discusses the agency and power that are negotiated by older Māori Jewish women as their mana wāhine, renamed Polyfeminism. Polyfeminism is forms of feminine agency employing practical remembrance and resilience that combines the best of the Māori, Jewish and Pākeha (European) worldviews. Hadas’ analysis is based on a case study of in-depth interviews with six indigenous women aged over 50 years old and their everyday memories of their mixed ethnic tupuna as they resist injustices, and become role models for the next generation. CONTEMPORARY MAORI JEWS: The interviews were conducted during 2016-2017 as part of the first research project on the well-being and success stories of contemporary Māori Jews in New Zealand. It looks closely into their narratives and memories of growing up at home. Hadas show that despite of the strong hold of racism in and outside their whānau, they are typified by ‘no-fuss’ attitude toward their mixed ethnic identity. As older Māori Jewish women, they derive power and constitute their identity through postgraduate education in subjects related to health and education, and in most cases, learning Te Reo Māori (the Māori language). The telling metaphor in the title is by one of the women: “filling up the other kete”, encompasses their growing political awareness and long term labour in attaining the cultural knowledge and education that lead to a balanced and healthier way of living. This metaphor also evokes comfort through the resilience and practical indigenous knowledge that feed forward their well-being and the well-being of their whānau and beyond. ISRAEL / PALESTINE: The second half of the interview is about the Israel Palestine question, which has been ramped up by Trump since the interview was recorded. Hadas does see a two state solution as being the answer, but she added – “But then there is Jerusalem.” Hadas describes how she has found it difficult to speak out about the issues Palestinians face when in Israel. While she is happy with Israel as founded by the Balfour Agreement, she finds the new Jewish settlements unacceptable. She feels that there was opportunity for both races to have worked things out together if there had been respect and understanding between them from the start. As it is now, however, if is not safe for Jews in Israel to speak out against the status quo. It causes rifts in families, and people are ostracised if they have a more liberal view. The media in Israel is controlled, and so many people hear only the official line. Hadas believes that, like Maori, the Palestinians should have had some compensation for land loss. BIOGRAPHY Hadas is a Jewish-Israeli migrant mother-of-three who made her home in New Zealand in the past 16 years. She is also a social anthropologist interested in food and emotions, nostalgia, home and memory, and issues of gender, migration and indigeneity. Hadas gained her BA and MA from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel and her PhD from the University of Auckland, New Zealand. As a social researcher she worked for the Israeli parliament in the education committee, and the Van Leer Institute in Jerusalem. In 2016 Hadas won the Dame Joan Metge post-doctoral award by the Kate Edgar Charitable Education Trust to conduct the first study on Māori-Jews. Currently Hadas is teaching Hebrew at Kadimah School in Auckland, the only Jewish day school in New Zealand. This interview was sponsored by The Awareness Party | |||
| Mels Barton: Kauri dieback - what we must do to save our iconic New Zealand Kauri trees | 29 Nov 2017 | 00:59:55 | |
To have our venerable forest giant die before us is making us realise that even far from all other countries on our planet - that we too can be affected by something that is microscopic and beneath our feet that can destroy a living treasure that can live to 2,000 years of age. It’s called Kauri dieback. Kauri dieback is the deadly kauri disease caused by Phytophthora taxon Agathis. Following DNA studies, this fungus-like disease was formally identified in 2008 as a distinct and previously undescribed species of Phytophthora. Kauri dieback is specific to New Zealand kauri and can kill trees of all ages. Microscopic spores in the soil infect kauri roots and damage the tissues that carry nutrients within the tree. Infected trees show a range of symptoms including yellowing of foliage, loss of leaves, canopy thinning, dead branches and lesions that bleed gum at the base of the trunk. Nearly all infected kauri die. In the past 10 years, kauri dieback has killed thousands of kauri in New Zealand. Kauri is NZ’s canary in the coal mine with this organism and there are hundreds of different phytophthora around our planet. The potato famine in Ireland was cause by a phytophthora and there is one in Australia called cinnamomi that is devastating forests in South West Australia. Mels states that NZ authorities are not yet serious about this and our inaction is enabling this disease to spread Because ecologists call kauri a key stone species - it is just not one species - as it changes the soil type underneath a kauri forest over the millennia to something called pod sol - which is a very leached soil type and they do this to support themselves and support other organisms that like to live with kauri (symbiosis) and kauri becomes surrounded by its friends. Up to 17 different species that can survive alongside kauri. And this symbiotic relations is totally unique globally and if we loose our kauri, we will loose all these other organisms that depend on kauri as well. Thus she says it is not much to stretch this - that if no action is taken we could have extinction right throughout Northland. As this die off is doubling every 5 years. Monitoring Report faults foot traffic for spreading it. In August of 2017, the Auckland Council released a monitoring report showing that the places with the most foot traffic, particularly Piha and the Cascades and especially Piha have a risk of kauri going extinct in the next 5 years. Because the spread now is so large and has increased so much that if it doubles again - that in the next 5 years there will be no kauri in Piha. The Auckland Council report - states quite clearly and in stark terms that if we do not change the management of our kauri forests in the Wairakere ranges - we risk losing all of the kauri. The problem - These spores are carried by foot born human traffic and also mountain bikes that are then used in other areas of the forest. These tiny spores in the soil and mud, cling to our shoes or bike tires and the spread becomes easy. It’s a bio security crisis affecting all of the kauri in New Zealand. The range of Kauri in NZ is less than point 1% of what is was originally. Before people settled in New Zealand, forest containing kauri covered much of the Coromandel Peninsula and northern areas throughout North Auckland. Today, the remaining 7,455 hectares of mature kauri forest is scattered in remnant patches. Drastic Action Required There are up to a million visitors walking the Waitakere Park annually. Mels states the if we do not do something drastic as the management has been sporadic and patchy and wife we do nothing - we will lose our kauri. Shoe cleaning stations are on many /most tracks to disinfect their shoes & boots, but unfortunately many people are not doing this small practice - the cleaning stations are quite rudimentary and people are spraying their muddy soles thinking it is a magical spray. But as a somewhat benign spray it is not killing this organism. It needs to be a really, really good clean of your shoes and then a spray … and due to the condition of many of the tracks - mud is going to be moved around and deposited along these tracks and this is the crux of the problem. The tracks in the Waitakere ranges Mels says are in an exceptionally poor state. For up to 20 years very little attention. She mentions that where stands of kauri are there are strategic scrub and spray stations - that the imperative is to use them every single time you came to one. Not just once scrub and spray before going into the forest or one when you are leaving the forest. Because these ‘stations’ are strategically placed around all the different kauri and if you do not scrub and spray - you will just spread the contaminated mud to where the healthy kauri’s are - and there lies the problem - people are too unconscious to make a real effort, hence the rapid increase of this dieback. Visitors are not using scrub and spray stations Some of the Auckland council sites have been monitored for compliance - however it has been estimated that of the one million visitors year only 20% are scrubbing and spraying. This translates to 800,000 people wandering around with this disease of their feet - causing this problem to rapidly spread. Rats, possums birds and pigs are being blamed for moving this disease around but the monitoring has proved that it is always along the tracks that pass by kauri is where all the die off it happening. Auckland Council has completed 2 major surveys of the Waitakere ranges in 2011 &2016 and clearly find that it is human foot traffic that is going up to trees, as these are the trees that are dying off. Trees that hide away from the tracks seem to be doing very well. 22,744 trees have been surveyed by helicopter and locked in by GPS and survey teams have checked each tree to do a health analysis. Note it is not known how long it takes from infection until symptoms are expressed. The Tree Council fb page - check the map - it’s like a cancer spreading along the tracks. The Hillary Trail is badly infected … The Cascades are bad too - over 20,000 people a day in summer - Piha has a lots people too. Very popular with runners too - hence this all adds to the infection along these tracks. Pigs, rats, birds and possums are not to blame. That she says it is not the pig, rats, birds and possums that are the cause as we would see are far more even distribution of across kauri and all over the ranges - but this is not so, as this contamination is happening all along the track network. These animals do not exclusively use the track network like humans do. This makes it clear that it is a human problem. The surveys show that 75% of trees infected lie within 50 metres of a track . Pigs are a problem, and need to be sorted but not the major cause by any stretch. But they are less than 25% of the problem and we humans are 75% of the problem and this is what we need to sort out. Mels says that we humans need to own this and get it sorted. Accept responsibility for it and stop making excuses and take action. She says that we would not see the doubling of the disease if it was only animals doing it. The Hunua’s are another Auckland Council area forest that has no kauri dieback - so the imperative is to make sure that this dieback does not happen there - It has been surveyed exactly like the Waiitakere ranges - and the Tree Council is confident that there is no infection in the Hunua’s. The Coromandel has a tiny number of infection sites - Northland has some infection but has not been surveyed like Auckland council have done, thus we do not know the scale of it, but it’s in Waipoua Forest and Trounson Park and on Great Barrier island too. Infection of other forests - Mels says is a matter of time, not if … Maori have said enough! This is what Te Kawerau e Maki the local iwi (tribe) - the mana whena for the Waitakere’s have said - Enough! Saying we need to get humans out of the forest and let it heal and for us to take action. This is the forest they are kaitiaki of - that they are the guardians - to lose the kauri the Te Kawerau e maki - lose who they are … They want a ‘rahui’ placed on the whole Waitakere area Rahui is a closure and an exclusion of people from their normal activities - to let natural systems heal and regenerate - wanting us to respect the forest for this process to take place. They will be doing this very soon. Having asked the Auckland Council to do this under the sanction of a controlled area notice under the BioSecurity Act. Anyone found inside this exclusion zone woods be in breach of the BioSecurity Act. Thus is backed by the Tree Council, Forest & Bird Society and the Friends of Regional Parks and the Waitakere Protection Society. They have all said this is what Auckland Council needs to do. Mels say that Auckland Council must get in and move this whole initiative forward and if not the NZ Government may see fit to come in over the top of the Council - and force it to implement the closure, and then Auckland Council will lose all control over this process. Listen Stating this is a national crisis for this toanga - treasure this keynote species that is unique that grows for up to 2,000 years - it is estimated . She says it is not about spoiling every ones fun or a killjoy or exaggerating the scale of the problem - this is a critical time - it’s about the survival of a giant mega flora species. She wants the tracks to be brought online again once the tracks have been upgraded so as to not facilitate the spread of the disease - this way we can get people back into the Waitakere to once again to bathe in the magnificence of the cool shade and beauty that the Waitakere forest harbour. We must remember that is was only in 2007 that Kauri dieback was first noticed Education Education of New Zealanders is important. Because she does not want people to.be closed out forever it’s just a necessity now .. a temporary closure. To then rebuild the tracks and make them safe bio security wise. Myrtle Rust another very recent problem in NZ. Myrtle rust is mentioned too as an airborne disease and this now has been found in various areas of NZ - A great danger to NZ Christmas tree the pohutukawa. If seen - don’t touch, just photo and call the appropriate bio security authorities or Auckland Council. There is another fungal disease in Hawaii discovered in 2014 - called the Ohi which lives in the soil, causing leaves to turn black and fall off killing a tree in s matter of weeks. They find that human movement is the cause of spreading this disease. They say that NZ pohutukawa tree could be at risk. It has affected about 75,000 acres of forest on the big Island of Hawaii and has now spread to Tahiti. Mels says we have to future proof our forests - infrastructure that has to last another 50 years has to be planned for and put in place. Call to Future Proof our Forests This disease in some ways is an opportunity for humans to step up and wisely future proof our forests, our infrastructure and tracks, our biodiversity and get on top of biosecurity at every entry point in NZ. She says one of the reasons she came to live NZ was to walk and hang out in NZ bush and forests and show them to friends and overseas visitors Mels say that this disease may find other hosts other than kauri and we are finding that tanekaha is being affected - so this is why the urgency for NZers, Councils and the National Government to get in and educates the masses to support a major action to save what we cherish. Kauri root system is shallow, sensitive and close to the surface making it vulnerable - listen Mels then tells of the biological story of the roots and how a forest giant of a kauri succumbs to these tiny microorganisms cause starvation to the colossus above. That Kauri cannot evolve fast enough due to the rapid appearance of this disease to build up its own immunity once again Germination of seeds that then grow around the base of the Kauri as in a nursery - that may stay very small for 30 years or more - when a nearby tree dies and falls then the seedling take off and grow in the space provided to fill that gap. Kauri does not keep its seeds for long - it instead has a ‘live’ nursery that stays within the umbrella of the above foliage - but with this disease the seedlings cannot withstand it and they die - so there is no generation alive to take off and grow when the parent kauri dies. She wants urgent Council action - before summer of December 2017-18 as there will be 100’s of thousands of people tramping more disease around Get behind the rahui. Auckland Council is to spend $51.48 million on kauri die back over the next 10 years Waitakere Forests are in many ways the ‘Jewel in the Crown of Auckland.’ She says that after the rahui - this process of opening new tracks etc can happen in stages - this is not a bad news story. Incrementally open tracks once the fundamentals are in place. Mels spell sit out - the strategy the mindfulness to get it right - with the education and championed by the Auckland Council in symphony with Maori. Mels states we need all the firepower of NZ’s science - as we do not know what else this disease infects and how to actually destroy and eliminate it. These 2 fundamental questions have not even been started in the last 9 years - Mels socks it to the scientific ineptitude in dismissing the urgency of what is attacking our venerated kauri - under the NZ Government’s MPI - the Ministry of Primary Industries. Investment is needed into our future. She lets it rip in the end. | |||

| Tom Brown: Is the Universe conscious? Yes! We are not a cosmic fluke - yet the only magic that science believes in - is the Big Bang | 16 Nov 2017 | 01:00:00 | |
Tom talks of the possibility of utopia, the harmonising and reconnecting with nature and where people are kind to each other - and that systems are put in place to ensure that human rights are upheld. (Listen to Tom’s enlivened description of this process). Matter and Consciousness We open up with this quote below. In 1957 an unheralded Nobel Prize experiment at the Brookhaven Research Laboratories in the US - took place.This had TD Lee and CN Yang win the award for physics, for showing that "cobalt in its observed radioactivity could tell the difference between its future and its past and utilises this fact in making a spatial distinction between its right from its left" - “It is able to choose what direction it takes!” That we have not heard of this is because the invisible and hidden is not seen as an urgent area of exploration - even in today’s scientific world. The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” Nikola Tesla Matter and Consciousness Matter and consciousness - and the mysterious and that which is hidden. Tom says this subject was closed down in academic circles during the time of Galileo and he explains why - however further in the interview Aristotle too is mentioned as also shutting down the intuitive as he was the first to quantify by weighing and measuring things, and that opened the way for ‘that which was hidden - to be ignored’ - as it was not really - real. See write up of Tom’s previous interview. https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/tom-brown-revealing-the-hidden-knowledge-of-invisible-subtle-solar-and-planetary-forces Knowledge of Higher Forces - curtailed So any knowledge of higher forces was disregarded and officially banned by edict. This Tom says is extremely important knowledge that very few know about. Hence why universities today focus virtually entirely on the physical - and is a far cry from the original meaning - from Latin universitas ‘the whole’, and not the root word Universe. Matter is Not Inert Matter may not be conscious as you and I, but it is not inert and there are experiments that show it is reactive and isn’t inanimate. Lily Kolisco’s work ‘Agriculture of tomorrow’ - one of the great Bio dynamic books http://www.koliskoinstitute.org/about-us/lili-kolisko/ - Many decades of research, working with colloidal minerals and crystallising mineral substances above and below ground during different seasons etc. Working with the noble metals and the planets - Gold in the sun, Silver in the moon mercury in Mercury, Iron in Mars Tin in Jupiter and lead in Saturn. Many experiments with the changes in crystallisation patterns during different astronomical relationships especially that gold does not crystallise properly when the moon eclipses the sun. Metals can have the same response when drugged as animals and plants do.
Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose. Bose’s work with plant sensitivity and anomalous readings - see his book “Response in the living and nonliving” that metals can have the same response when drugged as animals and plants. https://tzmvirginia.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/bose-response-in-the-living-and-non-living.pdf Sun and Planets Affect Metals on Earth Giorgio Piccardi, in the University of Florence chemistry department 1950s and 60’s his book ‘The Chemical basis of medical climatology’. Why some chemical reactions don’t work when what’s happening on the sun and the earth’s related magnetic field at the time. Plus other anomalies were noticed over decades based on the earth’s tilt towards galactic centre on March equinox - that there were dips in readings - colloidal solutions were showing these up.

Transhumanism and Solid State Entities. Covering Dr John C Lily’s work with the ‘solid state entity’ - an energy that for a better description can incarnate into the equipment. That Tom (like me) says - is anti life - Ray Kurzsweil’s name comes up and his ‘trans humanist agenda’ that is basically heralding the era/error of the time of the machines - instead of evolving the soul and realising a more cro-creative natural state of being. Trans-humanism is a disconnection from nature and the natural world and could be said to be based around lower ego. By merging into a computer and just be around forever is like a hijacking of the human spirit’s journey - and blind to the many great esoteric truths of the past. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_C._Lilly ‘AI” - Something to keep a close eye on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HipTO_7mUOw&feature=youtu.be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xs_HhZrCBdg Rudolph Steiner and his Spiritual Understandings … That mans mining of the earth has let out elemental energies and that there energies have incarnated into human bodies and these young beings many live by impulse and don’t yet have any real deep inner foundation and so through a progression like - go from kindergarten to primary to secondary and university as in universal. - Tom talks about the chakra system and that the overall picture in the vast scheme of things - all incarnating beings have human rights - all having the right of self development and to choose their path - but as we can see everybody is not born equal especially for self determination. ‘God sleeps and dreams in the minerals, awakens in plants, walks in the animals and thinks in man. What is the next evolutionary spiritual step - for us? Tom discusses this ancient saying that goes way back in time. Ancient Traditions? Hamlet’s Mill and the precession of the equinoxes and its basis in an integration of nearly all ancient traditions The 2nd coming of Christ and the rising of Osiris. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet%27s_Mill Tom states that ‘we are in a rising as of this time’ - we are at the end of the precessional cycle - Orion is at the highest point in the sky and it is going through these special alignments with the galactic centre. He talks about events from Hamlet’s Mill - where some civilisations and cultures speak about ‘bitter millennia’ when the gates are open - solstice alignments - to galactic centre and the Pleiades are in here too - this great cosmic alignment that is going on - he says people have been waiting for this time … so Tom looks at astrophysics in relation to the ancient gnostics and the possibilities that await us. Galactic Influences Halten Arp - astrophysicist who was evicted out of the astrophysicist community - like a modern day Galileo - was on the 200 inch telescope at Mt Wilson in the USA and was a protege of Hubble investigating merging galaxies that grew out of each other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halton_Arp#Critics He was also a critical of the Big Bang Theory. Karl Seyfert and active galaxies - that all spiral and elliptical galaxy cores go through periodic core eruptions - which could even account for our galaxy also affecting life on earth with die offs etc - part of the whole metamorphic process - That our distance from the galactic centre is 26,000 years happens to be identical to our 26,000 year precessional cycle - so we are totally keyed into this process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Keenan_Seyfert Toms talks about quasars from another standpoint - ‘redshift’ and some wild offerings - listen ... Neutrinos Tim’s question to Tom - What about neutrinos? Are these mega trillions of invisible particles that come out of the universe and zip through all living beings and pass right through this planet then onward into infinity … are these the etheric garment of God that is spiritual in nature and basically omnipresent? There is a Youtube channel called Sky scholar offering insights about space. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntXJe9jTahA The God Particle We also cover the God particle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higgs_boson and that the Large Hadron Collider is the world's largest and most powerful particle collider, the most complex experimental facility ever built, and the largest single machine in the world, situated at CERN between France and Switzerland. Tom mentions that when fired up there is a ‘pertubance in the field’ that is in proximity to CERN.

| Penny Bright: Is New Zealand really one of the 'least corrupt' countries in the world? | 08 Nov 2017 | 00:59:18 | |
In this interview anti-privatisation and anti-corruption whistle-blower, Penny Bright, talks on issues around the three Cs - Corruption, Contractocracy, and Corporate Welfare, as well as issues around the private procurement model for public services. Penny says the root cause of most corruption is privatisation. She asks why the Public Records Act is not being fully implemented and enforced in New Zealand. If New Zealand is truly 'the least corrupt country in the world' - shouldn't we arguably be the most transparent? She says public transport is not public, and asks what the implications are of a fuel tax. Penny has been involved in opposing the Tamaki 'Regeneration' project and speaks about dubious government and private dealings there. She talks on the murdered Maltese investigative journalist who exposed the Panama Papers and has found some disturbing New Zealand connections. Penny also speaks on State Capture, where private interests significantly influence the government’s decision-making processes to their own advantage.” INTERNATIONAL RULE OF LAW FORUM Penny Bright, was invited as a NZ 'Rule of Law' expert, together with nearly 300 attendees from 75 countries to the 2017 World Justice Project International Rule of Law Forum at The Hague. There she informed the delegates that New Zealand is a “Corrupt, polluted tax haven. She says, "My political 'bombshell' was about NZ's corruption REALITY, and in my opinion, New Zealand is a 'corrupt, polluted tax haven - a banana republic without the bananas'. I also stated that the Transparency International 'Corruption Perception Index' (which NZ topped 10 times, sometimes 1st equal) should be screwed up and thrown into the rubbish bin of history.” PRESS RELEASE THURSDAY JAN 26 2017 Penny Bright Independent candidate Mt Albert by-election says The 2016 Corruption Perception Index isn't worth the paper it's written on." She says, "This 'Corruption Perception Index' is not based upon measurable, objective yardsticks - but essentially the subjective opinions of anonymous business people." “Here were objective, significant milestones or yardsticks for quantifying corruption REALITY, rather than relying largely upon the subjective opinions of anonymous businesspeople for PERCEPTION of corruption which in her view are a meaningless measure. I pointed out how in 2010 how I had attended the Transparency International Anti-Corruption Conference in Bangkok. Where we were told that the global procurement market was $14 TRILLION and the amount estimated to be lost in bribery and corruption was $2.5 TRILLION! I had a HUGE lightbulb moment! Wouldn't $2.5 trillion ($2,500,000,000,000, or $2.5 thousand billion) help to feed, clothe, water and shelter a few poor people? Then another 'lightbulb' moment - was that Transparency International were not looking at the underpinning private procurement MODEL, and only the private procurement PROCESS.” PRIVATE PROCUREMENT MODEL FOR PUBLIC SERVICES: As soon as you get into the private procurement (contracting out) of public services, formerly provided in house by staff directly employed under the public service model, you got into CONTRACT MANAGEMENT. Government or Council staff were regarded as not competent to do contract management - so a 'bureaucrats would then hire CONSULTANTS to 'project manage' the WORKS CONTRACTORS, who would then usually SUB-CONTRACT. So by the time you got down to those in the boots and overalls getting their hands dirty and actually doing something productive - you might have up to 4 layers of pinstripe suits clipping the ticket, while effectively doing nothing. How is that a more 'cost-effective' use of public money? Penny says, “In 2010, at the Transparency International Anti-Corruption Conference, I asked a (high-faluting) panel - where was the EVIDENCE that the private procurement of public services, that used to be provided at central and local government level, was more 'cost-effective' than former 'in-house' service provision? (It was like I had slapped the face of the person who was chairing the panel. He literally did a 'double-take' and mumbled that there was evidence - but none was ever provided.) My point to this 2017 World Justice Forum group - was that in my opinion, it was time to look at the whole underpinning private procurement MODEL for public services. ( IMO - it is the privatisation -private procurement - of public services which is the major source of GRAND corruption.” THE ROOT CAUSE OF CORRUPTION IS PRIVATISATION: Penny is one of the few people in the world actually saying that the root cause of most GRAND corruption- is PRIVATISATION. How is it decided who GETS the contracts? Remember - back in 2010 - the global amount estimated to be paid in bribery and corruption was $2.5 TRILLION! This is a BIG deal. The whole Neo-liberal myth and mantra - 'public is bad - private is good' upon which this massive privatisation of public services, locally, nationally and internationally was based - was NOT 'evidence based'. The BIG business globalists - just MADE IT UP! If there is no 'cost-benefit analysis' which proves the privatisation (contracting out of public services is more cost-effective' for the public majority of taxpayers and ratepayers - then it's 'CORPORATE welfare'. Penny asks the most pertinent questions. Shouldn't the public majority (the 99%) benefit from public monies - not a small minority of private corporates (the 1%)? While there is a punitive 'Social WARfare' /'War on the Poor' regime waged against the most vulnerable and disadvantaged, there is, a completely different attitude towards the rich' on 'corporate welfare'. Where exactly are billion$ of public monies being spent on private sector consultants and contractors? How can you check for 'cost-effectiveness' in the spending of public monies being spent on private sector consultant$ and contractors, if you don't know exactly where these costs fall? WHY IS THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT NOT BEING FULLY IMPLEMENTED AND ENFORCED? NZ LAW is very clear on this requirement for transparency in public spending. The NZ Public Records Act 2005:. http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2005/0040/latest/DLM345729.html
(1)Every public office and local authority must create and maintain full and accurate records of its affairs, in accordance with normal, prudent business practice, including the records of any matter that is contracted out to an independent contractor. How can you have transparency or accountability without full and accurate records available for public scrutiny? The NZ Public Records Act 2005 has been the LAW for the last TWELVE years. Why is the Public Records Act not being fully implemented and enforced? Penny clearly states that the full implementation and enforcement of the NZ Public Records Act 2005, would transform transparency and accountability, and this should be an urgent priority for this new Labour-led Coalition Government. Penny’s call for transparency includes “OPEN THE BOOK$! CUT OUT THE CONTRACTOR$! BRING NZ LOCAL AND CENTRAL GOVERNMENT PUBLIC SERVICES BACK 'IN-HOUSE' UNDER THE GENUINE PUBLIC SERVICES MODEL! PURGE THE FORMER PRIVATE SECTOR BUSINESSPEOPLE FROM THE LOCAL AND CENTRAL GOVERNMENT 'BUREAUCRACY' AND BRING BACK GENUINE 'PUBLIC SERVANTS'. and STOP THE 'THREE 'C's! The CONTRACTOCRACY, CORRUPTION and CORPORATE welfare.” ------------------------------ FUEL TAX: In Auckland, what is being proposed is an Auckland Regional Fuel Tax, to help fund developments with 'public transport'. However - there is no such thing, as 'PUBLIC' transport in Auckland. The trains, buses and ferry services are PUBLICLY-subsidised, but privately owned, operated and managed, passenger transport operators. Auckland Transport won't reveal how many public millions are being paid to subsidise private passenger transport, on top of their private profits. Their 'books' are NOT open - regarding the millions of public monies paid to subsidise these private passenger transport operators. Penny calls to make Auckland Transport 'PUBLIC' again! Get rid of Auckland Transport as a CCO, and bring it back under direct Auckland Council control. And no Auckland Regional Fuel Tax! THE TAMAKI REGENERATION PROJECT: The Tamaki 'Regeneration' project - has proven to be a “HUGE GENTRIFICATION SCAM” pushing state tenants off prime real estate. Under the National Government the ownership of 2,867 properties from housing New Zealand were transferred into this Tamaki Regeneration Limited – a 100% crown owned crown entity company. This company then is on selling the land. Former Tamaki State tenants have been forced off prime real estate to make way for private mansions for the wealthy, and private profits for property developer. Penny speaks passionately about this, having spent months researching this issue and spending time on site with some of the tenants. Here is a video about this. Penny believes there should be an urgent parliamentary enquiry into the Tamaki “scam”. STATE CAPTURE A form of corrupt practice, which, in Penny’s opinion, is endemic in NZ, is 'State Capture'. 'State Capture' is where (corporate) vested interests get their way, at the POLICY level of government, in order to get laws passed that serve their interests. With whom are the 'policy analysts' consulting, before legislation goes through the Parliamentary 'sausage machine'? Penny says, “Check the Regulatory Impact Statements to find out.” PANAMA PAPERS New Zealand in Penny’s opinion, is a corrupt, polluted tax haven. It was murdered Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia who 'blew the whistle' and twice exposed links between Maltese 'Politically Exposed Persons' (PEPs) and NZ foreign trusts being used for money-laundering, information that had been revealed in the Panama Papers. On 1 August 2017, the (former) Chair of Transparency International, Jose Ugaz, at a meeting of over 200 people at Rutherford House, Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand, stated that John Key should be investigated over the Panama Papers. 2 days after Daphne was blown to pieces in a car bomb attack (16 October 2017), it was announced that former NZ John Key Prime Minister would become Chair of the Board of ANZ. The ANZ bank is the Australian bank which had been mentioned more in the Panama Papers than any other Australian bank. Why no NZ mainstream media coverage of this story? Penny calls for an investigation of John Key over the Panama Papers! MALTA SCANDAL EXPOSES NZ TRUSTS AGAIN: It was murdered Maltese investigative journalist Daphne Caruana Galizia who exposed, via the Panama Papers, how NZ foreign trusts were used as money-laundering vehicles by Maltese Politically Exposed Persons. The saga began in February 2016 when Caruana-Galizia revealed that Schembri and Mizzi had set up two Panama companies, Tillgate Inc and Hearnville Inc, owned by the Haast Trust and Rotorua Trust in New Zealand. In April 2016, the Financial Review published new details of Schembri and Mizzi's New Zealand trusts and their attempts to open a bank account in Dubai. A Malta magistrate is investigating the explosive claims of money laundering and corruption that have put New Zealand in the middle of a global cash trail from the family of Azerbaijan president Ilham Aliyev. President Aliyev's daughter, Leyla Aliyeva, is alleged to have channelled more than NZ$1.6 million to senior figures of the Malta government, including Prime Minister Joseph Muscat's wife. These include alleged payments to Panama companies owned by New Zealand trusts set up by the Malta Energy Minister Karl Mizzi and Muscat's chief of staff, Keith Schembri. On April 20, Maltese blogger Daphne Caruana-Galizia reported that she held copies of documents originally stored in a kitchen at Pilatus Bank, which showed that Egrant Inc, a mystery Panama Papers company identified by the Financial Review last year, was secretly owned by the Maltese Prime Minister's wife, Michelle Muscat. In March 2016, a Dubai company controlled by Leyla Aliyeva had transferred US$1.017 million (NZ$1.47 million) marked as a loan into Egrant's account at Pilatus Bank, Caruana-Galizia reported. Joseph Muscat denied the claims, calling it the "biggest political lie in Malta's history". Caruana-Galizia reported that other payments were made from Leyla Aliyeva's company to Pilatus accounts held by Egrant as well as Tillgate Inc and Hearnville Inc, two Panama companies that are owned by Schembri and Mizzi, through New Zealand trusts. The latest revelations, if substantiated, are an embarrassment for the New Zealand government, which announced an inquiry into its offshore trust laws on April 11 last year, the day after the Financial Review revealed details of how Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca's Malta agent, BT Nexia, began setting up Tillson, Hearnville and Egrant five days after Muscat's election victory in 2013. Mossack Fonseca's files were obtained by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung. New Zealand subsequently amended its offshore trusts regime, requiring foreign trusts to file annual accounts with the New Zealand tax office, but with no further restrictions. At that time, it appeared the Malta trusts had never been used, after Mizzi and Schembri's Panama companies were turned down by eight banks who refused to open accounts for them because they were Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs). The Panama Papers, however, show repeated cases of overseas investors filing false or implausible sets of accounts with New Zealand lawyers, who have limited means to verify the figures. NEW ZEALAND’S SIGNIFICANT ROLE: The latest wave of allegations in Malta underline how easily the New Zealand disclosure laws can be avoided, which the new laws do not change. If the reports are substantiated, they raise a far more serious picture of money-laundering, from one of the most corrupt countries in the world, in which New Zealand's foreign trusts played a significant role. We need far more mainstream investigative journalism and reporting on this issue. Here is a video of a small protest that Penny held in solidarity for Daphne Caruana Galizia, in Auckland on 3 November 2017. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Penny Bright has been arrested 22 times after being (unlawfully) denied speaking rights at Auckland City Council, mainly on matters relating to water. Four District Court Judges have acknowledged the 'Public Watchdog' role - so that is why she describes herself as a judicially recognised Public Watchdog' on Metrowater, water and Auckland regional governance matters. Penny has also been described in the NZ Herald as an 'anti-corruption campaigner' in the fight for more transparency and accountability particularly at local government. Penny Bright helped to set up the 'Stop the Supercity' group - which is totally opposed to the attempted corporate takeover of the Auckland region to run it 'like a business, by business - for business'. She hasn’t paid her rates for 9 years, and won’t until Auckland Council tells us how our rate payers money is being spent. See her Greenplanet interview about this – here. Having been a mayoral candidate three times, she has a public profile that people are bound to have an opinion about. Always campaigning with an element of humour, Penny signs her e-mails with, ‘Her Warship’.

| Steve Papps: Water with life force, eating to create health, & conscious change of habit patterns (part 2) | 02 Nov 2017 | 00:58:38 | |
Steve Papps joins Liz Gunn for Part II on what has shaped a child of a ‘Once Were Warriors’ childhood, into a man with the vision and determination to create change for our better health, in body, mind and country. Steve’s Three Passions Steve begins by explaining his three passions - nutrition, water guardianship and emotional wellbeing - which he has shaped into businesses whereby he can follow his passions, and give back from his learning and his innate belief system. Papps Nutrition springs from Steve’s own experience of lack of health and fitness. In changing his own health and eating habits, he immersed himself in learning, and found a passion for teaching others how to create physical and mental wellbeing through nutrition. Life Force Water is the second of Steve’s passions. It springs, as the name says, from the human need for living water if we are to have optimum health. Many people have no idea that water needs to be as alive as our fruit and vegetables. And his third wave of human interest comes in the form of Papps Consultancy which draws on the work he has done in studying the Quantum Field and how humans in fact shape our own realities every day - often without realising it. From this awareness, arises the possibility of shaping the sort of reality and life of which we each dream. Conscious Food and Water Choices Steve says what most people eat is not ‘food’- it’s man made processed ‘stuff’. It’s not full of life. Equally with water. Living water has a life cycle. It goes from a ‘juvenile’ stage, through a ripening process as it comes down from the sky, falls down mountainsides in waterfalls, in to river beds and down through rocks into underground water tables. This water is alive. After 3- 4 weeks, the life force in ALIVE water in a container, will support bacterial growth. This is a good sign, the fact that water CAN go off! Water in taps and on supermarket shelves has been treated to stop bacterial growth- which kills the life force in the water. This affects us on many levels. Chlorine may well be subsequently filtered out of the disinfected water. But the fact remains that the molecular structure- the life force - within that water has been changed. Something has happened in order to keep it ‘safe’ to consume. It means that water in the supermarket can sit on shelves for many months without going green. The disinfected water affects the good bacteria inside of us. Our good bacteria are at the heart of our immune system. To support good immunity, living water must be drunk fresh from Mother Earth Most of our vegetables - along with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients - are in fact living water. Fresh food goes off. Living water also goes off. We want to take them both into our bodies in an alive and fresh state. Humans are around 75% water - bones, muscles, brains… and the quality of the water we consume affects more than our physical being. It affects the quality of our thinking and the quality of our lives. Steve discusses the role water plays in the ageing process. Ageing is a dehydration process. People start internally 'drying out’ through chronic dehydration over a long period of time. People in the country who lived off the land and drinking fresh untreated water from underground aquifers, have a different energy . The life force in their food and water gives them a different, stronger life force. By contrast, in NZ cities, every week , 9 people lose an arm or a leg through Type 2 Diabetes…which Steve names as a lifestyle choice. Type 1 Diabetes is inherited, while Type 2 is a malfunction in the pancreas. Steve says that can be treated by going back to the lifestyle choices that created it, and altering those choices. Steve sees dis-ease as an expression of toxicity or acidity. When someone has cancer, the tumour is cut out - but five years later it may well return. Steve is much more concerned to address the CAUSE of the cancer. Why did that body manifest this imbalance? Steve believes that if one person can heal from cancer, there must be a way for all of us to heal from it. His whole focus is the cause rather than the symptoms. The ultimate aim is always to enhance the health of the person. People need to get well for themselves and for their families. He says his company's deal with the results, more than the theories, and he looks to see if the changes he helps people to make, result in their doctors reducing or eliminating medications after the health of that person improves. These are the true measures of success for Steve. Practical results, grounded in improvements in the everyday lives of the people he helps. If Steve was walking into a family of diabetics about to breakfast on toast, cereal and jam, what would his advice be? STOP ! Eat living food. No requirement for carbohydrates while the pancreas is not working ( which shows up in the body as Type 2 diabetes) . No exotic, expensive, exclusive foods. Primarily vegetables, protein and healthy fats. exotic. It’s real food and in the right amount for the goals of each person. The Importance of Amino Acids & Fatty Acids There are two essential food groups. The body cannot produce these: essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. Every cell needs these in the right quantity. We are a population which is totally overfed and undernourished. When the body says “ I’m hungry” , it’s actually saying “ Feed me nutrients” . By removing nutrients from manufactured foods, the person eating these processed foods will find they are still hungry after even a large caloric intake. The body is still crying out for nutrition. And so people keep eating the food that is devoid of nutrients, and wondering why packaged foods are so often hard to stop and put down. With Fresh Living Food, this does not happen. Steve also talks of good fats and bad fats- such as cold pressed organic olive oil, egg yolks, coconut oil, avocado, raw nuts. The man- made fats are to be avoided at all costs- hydrogenated fats, margarine, soybean or canola oil- these are toxic to the body. Body Building He also talks of his time competing as a bodybuilder. He had to compete against bigger men. He decided he had to get leaner than them, and he outsmarted the competition ‘in the kitchen' through his refined food study. He talks of all the contradictory information on diet . He has put himself through many different eating plans for years. That way he found the ‘holes' in the plans- the point of diminishing return where the food plan is no longer effective. He was able to refine an eating process that works, grounded in principles that apply long term, to create potent health. Steve discusses the mental toughness humans need to find to stick to making changes. It’s not discipline. It’s awareness. When you’re ‘aware' of something, it’s no longer hard. He gives an example. Someone who wants to start a diet. They are not in the right state for success, when they talk about how difficult it is. So how to change the inner state? This is where his coaching in Papps Consultancy, kicks in. There’s a need to truly want what they SAY they want. Steve says "Imagine if I said to someone- if you keep to the plan exactly for 6 weeks- I show you the money- you cannot deviate for one meal, for one day- then I will give you $10,000. “ We always move towards what we focus on. Now the focus, the attention, is on what the person wants. And it’s no longer a matter of discipline. It’s a change of awareness. A lot of self help information is a misunderstanding of how the mind works. You need to apply the principles correctly. Goal setting has its place but misapplied, it creates an internal battle. It’s ‘hard'. You’re constantly trying to ‘manage’ life. Steve offers the opposite. With the $10,000 analogy, that person is going after what they have ALREADY created in their mindset. A 'totally unrealistic’ mindset, combined with a willingness to take action. It’s about learning how the mind works, and getting beyond being enslaved by thoughts. You master your thoughts. If it’s your servant, your mind can serve you. But if you let it be your master, your mind will torture you every day. Steve gives a wonderful example of how the mind can take both sides of an argument inside someone’s head, and behave like the worst best friend!! It’s not a Discipline, but an Awareness. There are events happening in our lives. Then there’s the person’s story ABOUT what is happening. Beyond all of that is an infinite consciousness able to observe these thoughts, and see the dramas created. Observing the way the mind jumps about, comes from just listening to your thoughts. Don’t judge the thoughts. Observe them. Most people who have anxiety can deal with the ISSUE itself, but not with the anxiety ABOUT the issue, because that is like a ghost. Anxiety is really just a projected, imagined future. Getting stressed and depressed happens when someone becomes anxious about the anxiety itself. Instead there is a totally different way of looking at that which liberates people from the anxiety. Addressing Addictions Steve talks of addictions. They are a product of the story going on in the mind. He talks of a relative who has always been addicted to marijuana. He then asked about his rehab and he labelled himself an addict. Steve said that once you have a label, you have to live through those labels. Instead, Steve asked him if he had an accident and lost his memory, would he still have his addiction? Who would he become without that story? Steve says you can’t have an addiction without a memory. We fulfil our labels. It’s important to identify behaviours, yes. But a label is not going to serve the human ability to change and evolve. The perception is often back to front. Focus Steve focusses on getting the person’s energy and health improved so they have huge amounts of energy and life force. The same principles apply across all areas- business, relationship, children’s emotional wellbeing and success, food, health. The most fundamental part is having clear, practical goals. Most people have a fuzzy idea of what they would like but don’t pin that down to specific goals for today, for next week, for the next twelve months. If you’re a business owner, do you have a clear financial goal for next week? Becoming Wise Towards the end of the interview. Steve discusses the genesis for his own learnings in all these areas - his own life experiences. He talked last time of having three children by 19 years old. This drove him to seek out financial success. He explains that he became a store detective who built his own company, to create New Zealand’s largest store detective company after just a year. He talks of studying Bob Proctor’s work and Napoleon Hill’s book ‘ Think and Grow Rich’. He learnt the specific laws that apply to wealth and to relationships. He applied the principles and brought in millions. Then he misapplied those same principles. Every thought is a seed. It sets off a specific vibration. His thought that stymied his success was “ Just don’t screw this up” . He explains that humans will always end up where their energy is. He ended up with depression. He learnt through that pain. He says “ I broke” - and it was a breakthrough. Some of the worst circumstances can be the greatest opportunities for us. Become aware of how to change that negative experience- accept where you are, and then with awareness change the energy you bring to what is showing up your life. | |||
| Martin Large: Community Land Trusts, Cooperative Ways of Buying Land and Ecological Homes | 25 Oct 2017 | 00:59:37 | |
Martin, jumps into the interview likening our current economic situation to a tarmac road - the ‘neo liberal’ tarmac road - that is now breaking up, as there are more and more crises - and in among all the cracks there are many kinds of green shoots coming up to form a new ‘commonwealth’ society - and this in many ways is exemplified by Lyttelton and Project Lyttelton.net.nz - where Martin was being interviewed by telephone from. That he states this is a global phenomena that’s actually happening in so many countries as a conscious change due to discontent with the ‘monetisation’ of so much of our culture and way of life. Martin mentions that after the two huge destructive earthquakes that hit both Christchurch and also Lyttelton - the community pulled together and they both have been able to recover remarkably well - (and still having much work to do on this) and he asks the question. Does this prefigure the challenges we face with climate destruction if we do not take timely action? http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11935975 The slow moving disaster for NZ’s future - areas that are gradually being affected by rising sea levels. The Commons How can we live and have access to both land and a home? Marine talks about Community Land Trusts and how they can take care of the ‘commons’ of land, water and air, but mainly land for farming and housing. Yet, we have also lost many of our connections with the ‘commons.’ The failure of Neo Liberalism Saying that the pendulum in NZ is swinging away from Rogernomics and Ruthanasia (Slang for Two previous Ministers of Finance from the NZ Labour and National Parties that championed neo - liberalism) That we are now realising the need to re-balance our society during this present political times by inviting not only the public and private sectors but also the plural sector, the civil society sector - who he says we see for example in Project Lyttelton. Community and Countrywide Ownership That NZ was once a large co-operative country that had many commercial co-operatives - dairy farmers being the largest of them, but also, having huge Mutual Insurance Societies, Trust Banks up and down the country, Building Societies, Trust Hotels and Alcohol outlets - and we have basically let them slip out of NZ ownership and control since 1984, when the rightwing overseas bankers infiltrated the NZ Labour Party with the Neo liberal agenda, of self interest. Co-operative Values Cooperative Values of self help and self responsibility, community benefit, community participation, openness, transparency and community investment - which Martin says is a wonderful picture - why did we let all this go and why have NZers forgotten this profoundly important history? (Martin was taken back to learn of this.) Same in the UK He says that in the UK in the 1990’s and early 2000s, many of the building societies that were member owned and were mutuals for savings, loans and mortgages were privatised too and then they went bust! Resulting in the taxpayers shelling out a trillion pounds to support them in 2007-8. In the UK Martin belongs to and banks with the Nationwide Building Society, and it’s still member owned which is the largest mutual still operating and it is very efficient and more effective and provide better service than the big five banks of Britain, that he terms casino banks. Co-operative originated in UK 3 He talks about the early Co-ops in the 19th century and early 20th century in UK and the Newcastle area and spread to Australia and NZ - See Rochdale Principles. The Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers, (RCEP) founded in 1844, is usually considered the first successful cooperative enterprise, used as a model for modern coops, following the 'Rochdale Principles'. A group of 28 weavers and other artisans in Rochdale, England set up the society to open their own store selling food items they could not otherwise afford. Within ten years there were over a thousand cooperative societies in the United Kingdom. These were to counter - liberal laissez faire economic business systems of today - dog eat dog world. https://community-wealth.org/strategies/panel/coops/index.html Research published by the Worldwatch Institute found that in 2012 approximately one billion people in 96 countries had become members of at least one cooperative.[2] The turnover of the largest three hundred cooperatives in the world reached $2.2 trillion – which, if they were to be a country, it would make them the seventh largest. This was one way of pushing back for the individual and those less financially advantaged … unity is strength. Now today - how can we reinvent cooperative methods and recreate different ways of cooperating … this is what Martins sees as our localised challenge. Today in the UK In England in Gloucestershire the Stroud Commonwealth enable social businesses - that were very interested in local food. Having enabled the development of one of the first of 6 community supported agriculture cooperatives. http://www.stroudcommunityagriculture.org/ This is a consumer cooperative who commit to buying produce from farmers a year in advance and they guarantee that income for a whole year. There are 290 people in this co-operative - they have a budget meeting every year - they agree with the farmers what should be grown and they support the farmers wherever it is feast or famine. Now Stroud Community supported agriculture is an exemplar of this very different way of running a farm. Now there are over 200 of these consumer cooperatives throughout the UK. Listen … Ooooby (Out of our own back yard) Martin talks of NZ’s Ooooby as a world class exemplar of a grassroots food distributor - of boxed fresh organic fruit and vegetables run by a team with Pete Russell originally out of Waiheke island, now in Auckland and with connections into Australia and the US. https://www.ooooby.org Using leading edge software - to really connect people with quality food. Also, Ooooby is looking at how ownership can be distributed among the founders, customers and producers. - They are exploring new ownership forms - the sharing of the ‘common wealth’ of their enterprise. Calling ooooby - a real green shoot. Purchasing Land Enabling farmers and communities to buy land and then put this into a farm trust. A template for young farmers -listen - (it is only a 70 meg download = 35 family fotos) Martin gives an example of how 8 hundred thousand pounds was raised and exchanged for shares - from 8,000 people - Farmland Trust. Listen to how they make it happen. Started off with only one extra job, now there are 27 jobs. Now Co-operative UK https://www.uk.coop/is the trade body set up - to facilitate cooperative development. As a result several thousand different provident and industrial societies have emerged out of this that have groups of people co-operating around renewable energy, for owning the village pub or owning the value shop. This has all come about from a standing start back in 2005-6. Click to Listen - Martin shares lots of valuable information especially that we need an organisational structure that helps people reconnect with the land - through buying shares as well as a structure for investment - so the co-operative form is ideal for this. Connecting with like Minds This includes every year having festivals, courses and workshops - to keep the energy dynamic and people educated and learning. Plus making the annual general meeting a festive event. Reconnecting with the land and learning how to do this via artistic workshops from bird watching to biodiversity - interpretive walks and fantastic design workshops by permacuture - horticulture, bees etc is all part of a holistic understanding of our connection to the natural world. Todays food revolution of fresh local, organic produce is also a cultural revolution as it is feeding our soul, giving nutrient dense vitamins and minerals to us as brain food - so that we make good decisions etc especially because of our deepening spiritual connection to the land. Plus with co-operatives slowly emerging especially in the UK it is an economic revolution as well. Housing Ownership Housing model - to find ways of owning your own dwelling. Community Land Trust Land is seen not as a commodity but as a commons - to be stewarded That for each community to steward their land commons is for community benefit - thus a lead structure is required. http://www.communitylandtrusts.org.uk/what-is-a-clt Common Land - Freehold land in Britain can be held in common by a kind of community land trust called the National Trust - which is a body of 3 million members owning 1500 farms and own 3 or 400 stately homes - and people have the right to walk there - and some areas where commoner farmers have the right to graze cows there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Trust_for_Places_of_Historic_Interest_or_Natural_Beauty A Community Land Trust http://www.vermontcf.org/Portals/0/Uploads/Documents/bclt_strategic_plan.pdf Burlington Community land Trust in Vermont - Shepherded through by Bernie Sanders - 3000, houses owned by their community land trust - which owns the land - where you can buy houses at 2/3 to 1/2 the market value - because the other half is owned by the land trust. A very interesting model. Other Subjects Covered.

| Tom Brown: Revealing the hidden knowledge of invisible, subtle, solar and planetary forces, and how they impact you! | 19 Oct 2017 | 00:59:46 | |
Mainstream science has looked at the Universe in a somewhat ‘tunnel visioned’ way, and have still not connected everything up in a wholistic/holistic process - into a greater picture - yet Thomas says when we put this big picture together - we are living on a magical plane of existence. Also, that we are connected by invisibility, be it the air, the magnetic field - then we have the microbiome - bacteria that are in our gut, gastrointestinal tract that weighs about 1.5 kilogram - that composes a gigantic amount of our DNA. We Have Multiple Brains Tom goes on to say that science is talking about the brain being the intellect, the heart is the intuition and the gut with our microbiome - being the instinct. Tom says that it’s the gut that connects us to another reality the 3rd brain - Dr Marco Ruggiero - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DKgT5Go6sU - tells of the brain microbiota that is our human gut. And that there maybe a fourth brain operating within our brain as well. The saying ….. “I had a gut feeling” - that many people state, is now being validated. That we are absolutely interconnected - Also a new modality called ‘M braining’ - www.mbraining.com - is about multiple brains - and that leading edge researchers are saying that when ‘consciously’ we bring all these 3 brains together into coherency - we find that as a human - we are far more aligned - that we negotiate life more gracefully due to the fact at all our ‘brains’ are ‘systematically aligned.’ Meaning - we make correct life decisions Greater Awareness So that when we make the correct decision - it’s because of this coherent alignment - that some say this intuitive aspect may reach out into the fourth dimension and breach the time barrier - thus we are ahead of the curve. Tom further states that there are neurological studies that show that the brain is actually making decisions before we consciously make them. Retrocausalilty - which Tom says is fascinating - https://www.scienceandnonduality.com/retrocausality-can-the-present-affect-the-past/ Which brings up free will - and Tom says he thinks that we do - but … - listen to the interview. Globalised Food, Effecting our Gut Tom goes on to say that due to our globalised marketing and food distribution systems, that we are eating so much food that is out of season and out of synch with our own microbiome - https://www.nature.com/subjects/microbiome - i.e if we are not eating locally this is causing disturbances in our metabolism thus affecting us with subtle mental lapses. We can experience a psychological effect due to eating food shipped in from overseas that’s causing mental aberrations due to the affects of having incorrect bacteria in our gut dealing with all kinds of food, from various climatic zones and regions. Tom introduces us to Russian Science. Sergey Vasilieve The Russian scientist Sergey Vasilieve on long range action fields - regarding the influence of sun and planets on planet our planet Earth. http://astrozet.net/articles/ZemletriasEng.pdf Plus Alexander Chizhevsky’s 1897 to 1964 - work on helio biology - how the sun’s influence on the biology on planet Earth. Plus biological rhythms. That humans are affected by the sun’s 11 year solar cycle. and much more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Chizhevsky That his research on instantaneous action influence across time and space - is a long way in advance of Western science. Sunlight and the Laws of Physics Tom goes on to say that sunlight is instant - that it is instantaneous - or space scalar or like Tesla transmissions. Stating that all light is instant and that “we are thoroughly connected in real time to the universe.” That stelar transmissions are instant - This is really important information to research and broaden our understanding. Toms says that behind everything - there is another level - that we have no idea how fast light is really traveling and he is profoundly knowledgeable and researched on these hidden energies. That the Russians are into plasma physics and the electric universe - they are far in advance of ‘public’ Western science. The Russian Vladimir Vernadsky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Vernadsky 1863 - 1945 and the Noosphere - In Vernadsky's theory of the Earth's development, the noosphere is the third stage in the earth's development, after the geosphere (inanimate matter) and the biosphere (biological life). Just as the emergence of life fundamentally transformed the geosphere, the emergence of human cognition will fundamentally transform the biosphere. In this theory, the principles of both life and cognition are essential features of the Earth's evolution, and must have been implicit in the earth all along. (Tim) - A future sphere of mind that will out grow the biosphere yet integrate with it, where at heart the human race develop into a greater understanding that we one global family and that the possibilities of intuitive - telepathic unity are pronounced - this is one of the choices that humanity can take - if we awaken to ‘who we are’. American Julian James 1920-1997 is mentioned - The origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. An interesting perspective. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Jaynes
Renaissance Pulling Back the Curtains When Galileo first used the telescope there were two things: That the telescope was a military instrument - that could be used for war and because of his status in Venice at the time this is one of the reasons he was able to obtain it. In doing so he discovered the moons orbiting Jupiter and realised for himself that the earth was revolving around the sun. Tom says this was also still a time of witch hunts - Where he says that ‘the right brain shut down and man’s left brain took over’ … by weighing and measuring things - dispassionately. Science and the Measuring and Weighing of Things - Don’t blame everything on Galileo Physics - the flight of the cannonball - .http://www.physics.mcgill.ca/~moore/P101/Lectures/Lecture-5.pdf Tom further states that as an extension of Galileo that the Accademia del Cimento (Academy of Experiment) in Florence Italy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accademia_del_Cimento - Actually issued an official: contra leva tatam - maxim - stating that you were not allowed to talk about the higher forces any more … only that which could be weighed and measured was now an official edict! Hard Science had begun! Rudolf Steiner Opens ‘Inquiry’ All Up Again https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_Steiner 1861-1925 This is why Rudolf Steiner started off Anthroposophy so as to overcome scientific limitation - as Steiner said they were now entering the age of the ‘intellectual soul’ - but Tom said that in order for us to develop properly (before we entered that realm) we had to develop the discursive - which is the non intuitive form of consciousness … but we have become trapped in it. Meaning that science sees, No Soul, No God, only matter. Toms says that by following Galileo’s cannon ball narrative - we come to Cern today in Switzerland and the Large Hadron Collider? - where underground scientists are still smashing Galileo’s cannon balls together - meanwhile above ground, life is happening on the surface - that scientists don’t even believe exists - because they still can’t measure it on their equipment … Tom quotes from Steiner: That when mankind gets to the end of his descent into matter he will end up with a vacant metaphysics. Listen to Tom’s viewpoint of the movie - ‘What the Bleep’ - and where it drops out. That there is no comprehension of the higher forces - that we call the etheric forces - which are basically warmth, light, chemical and structural activity and life. Yet Nikola Tesla stated: “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” That these forces basically weave all of life around us and we are yet unable to weigh or measure them … but you can perceive them and this is done in the intuitive development of consciousness … Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe Steiner pointed to Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe’s work - the metamorphosis of plants - listen …. now it gets fascinating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe Ernst Michael Kranich Cosmological botany - Planetary influences upon plants - https://translate.google.co.nz/translate?hl=en&sl=de&u=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst-Michael_Kranich&prev=search Goethe and archetypal plants … and his ability to see using his higher mind. Tom says there is only one actual plant - the vegetative surface of the planet - which goes through all these different metamorphoses. How do plants grow and especially vines and creepers - they are influenced by the planets - especially Mercury. The sun is the stem, the roots are the moon and the leaves are Mercury and when they grow further out they are influenced by Venus - that for instance - Bind weeds like Morning glory tendrils that turn around a stake or anything that can be attached to - to grow towards the light … due to the influence of the orbiting of Mercury. Listen …. fascinating Jagadish_Chandra_Bose - who is also mentioned in the Autobiography of a Yogi and the Secret Life of Plants https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagadish_Chandra_Bose - Listen - equally fascinating … Bose's place in history has now been re-evaluated. His work may have contributed to the development of radio communication.[22] He is also credited with discovering millimetre length electromagnetic waves and being a pioneer in the field of biophysics.[35] Professor Giorgio Piccardi from Florence University 1950’s and 60’s - chemistry dept studied chemical reactions due to the sun’s influence. https://translate.google.co.nz/translate?hl=en&sl=it&u=https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgio_Piccardi&prev=search - Including viral diseases following solar cycles - diphtheria, polio scarlet fever - listen … Lili Kolisko - A brilliant student of Rudolf Steiner - http://www.koliskoinstitute.org/about-us/lili-kolisko/ Paul Stamets - “Mycelium fungus to save our planet” http://www.fungi.com/about-paul-stamets.html ALSO in this interview: Archetypes within nature Holographic universe - yes, but what are projecting on? This is what interests Tom. Covering the wave particle duality. The sun represents the dot and the blue sky represent the sheet. - and it happens in front of us every day. In Toms closing statements he mentions. The Bankers - and the international slave system - are still in control. The system is us, neglecting our inner responsibility and connection to the universe and our planet - he says we have to wake up! On the Aotearoan Maori - he says that we need to get savvy and realise that there is another story on New Zealand. He whakeputanga and the 1835 declaration of Independence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_the_Independence_of_New_Zealand This was an extremely interesting interview - The only disappointment was that I, Tim got in the way by talking too much. When it was all about what Tom was wanting to offer.:( Tom was once the editor for Borderlands in the USA. https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/tom-brown-takes-us-down-the-thorny-path-of-truth https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/tom-brown-researcher-into-energy-space-mind-and-matter | |||
| Professor Don Huber: The facts on Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO’s) and the Glyphosate ‘Trojan Horse’ | 12 Oct 2017 | 00:58:44 | |
Don Huber who has just been here in NZ is also a former Colonel of the U.S. Army Reserves Bioterrorism Research Unit. He has taught courses on anti-crop bioterrorism and serves as a consultant on biological weapons of mass destruction and emerging diseases. He advises U.S. agencies on bioterrorism and biological warfare. He also goes by his word - that Glyphosate is a ‘Trojan Horse’ Professor Emeritus Don Huber, formerly of Purdue University states that there are three facts that everyone needs to understand about GE or GMOs:
Don Huber who spoke with me at the PlanetFM studios two months ago, here in Auckland opens with the statement that NZ farmland is still basically free of GE and GMO’s and relatively unpolluted with its attendant spray - glyphosate, however he states we need to make sure GMO’s don’t breach our borders, and that we need to keep NZ - GE Free and to make every effort to scale back our use of glyphosate - urgently. Soil is a living entity The soil is a living entity in its own right - it’s not just dirt. Every time you step on an acre of soil you’re stepping on up to 10 or 20 tonnes of living matter. Bacteria and fungi and the micro organisms of life. (just like the trillions of microorganisms in our intestines keep us healthy too) A Cleaner Greener New Zealand Don says that NZ can still be an answer to the world - because we have not contaminated a lot of our soil- yet he admits that we have some excessive chemical use in some areas - he sees that clearly and also the lack of knowledge of what these chemicals are doing. That their use makes life easier in some respects - but when farmers look at the long term process, the impact that it has on the individual, the family and the society does not actually make life easier. He says we still have an opportunity to have a working relationship with the soil, and capitalise by offering up quality organics with nutrient dense food that the rest of the world needs. Control of World Food by Vested Interests He states that there is an overt attempt in many areas of the world to destroy this opportunity. The desire of vested interests for monopoly, control and power without regard for the overall consequences of these practices needs to be recognised. That we are seeing our increased vulnerability - and a lot of it is because people have forgotten - he says that where we once had simple land practices - modern day scientific farming has brought us inflammatory bowel disease , end stages kidney disease and diabetes plus the extreme epidemics that we are seeing in the US and other industrialised countries. He states we have not had to experience these because we have maintained high nutrient dense food products for our animals - grass fed and not necessarily corn fed animals etc. Stating that this is the message and the information that the world needs. Taking Traditional Breeding to a New Level. The message that Don Huber is sharing is that we are only harvesting 25 - 30% of the genetic potential of our best crops - and he said if we took the time and energy (it does not come free) we can develop ‘that expression’ of that genetic material and do it by a traditional breeding manner, rather than the virus type of approach that we see with genetic engineering. Because we have no idea what the unintended consequences that can occur with that - are. He says we have all the systems in place to be able to do it this traditional breeding program properly. The constant looking for a ‘silver bullet’ is a mistake and it takes us further away from the natural harmony that we have been embedded in for centuries and millennia. Impacts on Farming Communities Sociological impacts of small farms being bought out and amalgamated into large corporate farms is depleting the rural sector of families as people sell-out and leave the district. This is affecting farming communities across the board in NZ, the US and Australia. That the model which is growth and bigger and larger farms is not human or community friendly. The bigger the farm, the less time the farmer has to interact with one’s neighbours and the community loses out. Because you are not able to spend enough time to really get to know each other and interact as neighbours. Harmony of the Land and Community Being able to manage the ecology and living in harmony is an imperative. He talks of community and also that not only do crops grow but everything grows including the community in a magnitude that meets the needs of a society and the individual - so that vegetables and animals plus families can all grow together. As a Colonel in the US Army Reserves As an US Army Researcher (1957-1998) he also studied many aspects of bioterrorism. Mentioning what the military thought was a critical component of a good defence was diversity - that to make sure that all our crop species were not of the same genetic makeup, as in 1970 and 71, where 70% of American corn hybrids were attacked by a fungus that developed a mutation and all 70% of the hybrids were susceptible to that disease. Yet he carries on to say that 98% of soybeans, 70% of corn, 100% of sugar beet and cotton are all 1 green or 2 gene characteristics and those genes are all to promote disease susceptibility - not resistance - none of them are designed or engineered for greater disease resistance - everyone of them have to be more susceptible to the diseases so that you can get the expression of the genetic engineered trait - that the mode of action for some of the chemicals like glyphosate - its whole mode of action - is to give the plant a bad case of aids - then they are susceptible to all the soil born pathogens and that is how “round up” for instance works - it is to destroy the disease resistance of those plants that receive it that haven’t been engineered with an alternative. He states that all it would take is just one simple mutation to make cotton, alfalfa, corn, soybean and canola - all those with the ‘roundup ready gene’- to be totally susceptible to a very severe disease. There are now documented over 40 diseases that are much more intense when associated with the glyphosate herbicide - because of the increased disease susceptibility - which he says leaves the US extremely vulnerable from a bioterrorist event - or for a natural event as per the Northern corn leaf blight epidemic in 1970 and 71. - Listen to the full extent of this, it is very important Threats of Legal Action He talks about GE crops being a Trojan Horse and that every farmer who sows GE seeds has to sign on the dotted line that they take full responsibility for any accident or cross contamination or anything relating to that crop. Letting the GE Corporation off, of being liable if anything does get out of control. Listen to the introduction in the very 1st minute of this program Food Essential Human Right He talks about agriculture being the basics of human society and survival and that that humans have to have carbohydrates, proteins, fats, plus have minerals and vitamins - without these the individual does not exist - so that when they are patented and controlled by corporate interests in the power controlling manner that we are seeing - without any liability or restrictions or controls - it leads to the downfall of the society. The Demise of the Precautionary Principle Don says the precautionary principle has been thrown out the window, when once it was a very valid and viable aspect in risk management - but today there is now no consideration for it at all. The Escape of a GE experiment gone wrong in the USA - now entering the Pacific http://www.oregonlive.com/business/index.ssf/2017/01/grass_seed_industry_fearful_ab.html Professor Huber mentions the escape of ‘creeping bent grass’ - ‘roundup ready’ - engineered used primarily for golf courses - that escaped field trials up in the US - and that these grasses are very promiscuous and move along with the wind and it hybridise with other grasses and now it can not be contained. It got loose from 2 small private research locations and now is endemic in Washington, Oregon and Idaho - it’s now along the Snake River in Southern Idaho and Oregon into Washington and is now totally resistant to glyphosate - the rivers flows into the North Pacific and Don says the Pacific ocean will now take it far further into the Pacific basin and that it could even be a worldwide problem. Because it plugs up irrigations systems and drainage systems - ending up as an extremely invasive weed. The company Scotts Miracle-Gro - who allowed this GE experiment to escape the laboratory has been unable to eradicate it and now that it has basically contaminated the above States, farmers who have been growing organic alfalfa for instance, and then exported it to China have had China reject and return it due to the GMO contamination and there is a total legal wrangle around this due to a corrupted agenda by the status quo not being upfront and honest in taking responsibility for this unpublicised continuous disaster that continues to this moment. Innocent Organic Farmers are Being Affected This means that those who have a living and a livelihood around organics are being affected by this spread and that everyone who is finding their product contaminated with this GMO bent grass, are having to bear the loss of income and or OF their business. That those who have been negatively impacted by this, need to be compensated - and so this is where the battle lines are drawn on the lack of indemnification. This is also what MSM - mainstream media remains very hushed about and as a consequence middle society either in the US, Canada, Australia or NZ know nothing about. To our collective detriment. Don calls these so called GMO - silver bullets - as time bombs waiting to go off. He says we have had enough time to witness the destructive behaviour of the generic experiments that have been going on around the planet. He sees them and the deterioration of the soil - and the increased diseased problems in our plants. GE & GMO’s a Coming Major Tsunami of Health Problems The deterioration in the health in our animals and in humans to the point that he says we are on the threshold of a major tsunami of health problems. Cancer End state kidney disease Inflammatory bowel type diseases Celiac Crohn's disease Gluten intolerance Leaky gut The situation is becoming so dire that slowly over time - like the frog sitting in the hot water - nearly all the young doctors, veterinarians, plant pathologists just out of university and basically programmed to not think, but only regurgitate what that have been taught - think that the above diseases are now just normal diseases and are unable to connect the dots to the onset of the GE and glyphosate insertion into the health system - especially in the USA. This insightful interview covers: Spontaneous abortion or miscarriage of pigs, goats and cattle - on land that has been sprayed with Glyphosate in tandem with growing GE Foods. That it was now normal for many women to have numerous miscarriages before they can have a live birth and that even worse - that the doctors are not doing any autopsies on miscarried fetuses - instead just quietly incinerating them - Listen to this interview ! His wish for the future he wants his grandchildren to have the opportunity that when they wish to have children that they do not have to go through the heartache of multiple miscarriages etc. He says we have to make a stand and that time is now. He states that in El Salvador 25% are expected to die from Glyphosate poisoning of their kidneys - he mentions Sri Lanka and Brazil and that the people are suffering there too. Dr Joseph Mercola link https://nz.pinterest.com/pin/126030489545794596/ Joseph Mercola food integrity gmo don huber European Parliament: Green Members of Parliament tested for glyphosate in April 2016. 48 Green Members that took part in a symbolic urine test ahead of the European Parliament vote last month to oppose the EU Commission’s proposal to relicense the controversial toxic substance until 2031. The inspiration behind what was labelled the #MEPee test was the results of a recent study in Germany which found that 99.6% of people tested were found to have glyphosate residue in their urine. According to ELISA test results from the accredited Biocheck Laboratory in Germany: The results reveal that every MEP tested has been found to have glyphosate traces in their urine, with the average concentration being 1.73ng/ml. That level is more than 17 times the safe limit for drinking water. The lowest level found among the group was 0.17ng/ml, almost double the safe level. Now most Greens will be drinking the best quality water, eating organic food and yet this is what is happening. What will this do to our DNA, semen and ovaries over time and future generations and in our babies and infants? Are you asking this question? https://www.greenparty.org.uk/news/2016/05/13/green-party-meps-peed-off-with-glyphosate-test-results Glyphosate’s half life can be up to 22 years in the soil - which appears contrary to the advertising. The US Geological survey in Florida shows that many of the Counties in that state have as much as 4,200 pounds of glyphosate per square mile. This affecting all invertebrates, bacteria, bees, earthworms, fish the whole ecology is being impacted by glyphosate. Lake Erie one of the Great Lakes is being studied by scientists at the University in Wisconsin and found that 1 third of a pound of phosphorous in Lake Erie, comes in for every one acre of ground (area) that is in the watershed. He says what is few million acres? - do the maths - and that’s why we have a green Lake Erie, with dead carp and dead bluegill and other fish? Lawsuits are piling up ready for Court Listen to hear how many Lawsuits are waiting in the wings as class actions become more common - so as to compensate people who have been affected by poor health and that they are looking for the cause. Glyphosate is found in the air, surface water, run off and well water because it is a highly water soluble compound and has been found in animal, human and plant tissue. In NZ some farmers are spraying Glyphosate on grass, then 4 days later letting their cows eat this foliage - cows are then being milked - result is NZ milk, butter, cheese etc is going to the NZ and world market place. Professor Huber states that Glyphosate bioaccumulates - in cows hearts, brains, liver, kidneys, bones, and the milk. Note that cheese has difficulty being manufactured, because it is a fermenting process and Don has seen cheeses that have failed due the the death of the microorganisms during fermentation. The same with malt barley and fermentation for brewing beer - the microorganisms suffer when heavy use of glyphosate is used. Professor Don Huber has hopes for New Zealand Encourages us to hold the line - for as an 80 year old with 50 years in the game - he has seen this track history of GE and GMO and sees that it is a twisted tale of avarice and deception. This is a wake up call for New Zealanders who care about their health, happiness and our ecology. US Military Service Researching Bioterrorism From 1963 to 1971 he was assigned to the U.S. Army Edgewood Proving Ground and Ft. Detrick Biological Laboratories in Maryland for research in chemical and biological warfare. He became Operations Officer (S-3) in a USAR Medical Group before moving to Medical Intelligence (business) Department Of Defense. In 1973 he took command of a specialized Strategic Medical Intelligence Detachment (MIDS) assigned to The Office of the Surgeon General and U.S. Army Medical Intelligence and Information Agency, assisting in formation of the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center (now NCMI). He carried out these duties while serving as a professor at Purdue. Though technically in the Army Reserve, Dr. Huber, whose expertise was in the Soviet Union’s biological warfare program, was part of elite nine and ten-person teams of specialized world scientists. In this capacity he commanded MIDS for eight years. Most of these scientists including Dr. Huber worked overtime without pay. He moved from command of MIDS to Senior Medical Intelligence Analyst and then as Associate Director of the Armed Forces Medical Intelligence Center. Retiring from military service after more than 41 years, he continues work with our intelligence community, where he actively participates in oversight security of biological weapons programs and threat pathogen concerns. Dr. Huber teaches courses on anti-crop bioterrorism and serves as a consultant on biological weapons of mass destruction and emerging diseases. He advises U.S. agencies on bioterrorism and biological warfare. He currently serves without pay as the American Phytopathological Society’s Coordinator for the USDA National Plant Disease Recovery System program and is an active member of the Threat Pathogens Committee.
A message from Tim - Let those that scathingly criticise Professor Don Huber ‘walk a mile in his shoes’. | |||
| Graeme Sait: Biological Agriculture - Pioneer of Nutritional Farming - A revolution happening today | 04 Oct 2017 | 00:59:54 | |
The Philosophy of Farming and Our Intimate Relationships with the Land and Biota. As New Zealand has been always known as a country that farmed cows and sheep - we are renown for being both innovative and highly productive, yet we can to far better than this. Graeme Sait originally from Taranaki who has spent most of his life way from NZ is a global leader, and the question is asked, can one man make a difference? Is it possible that one person’s knowledge and enthusiasm can produce a counter tipping point to farming and land management - into a new upcycle. One where in a few short years, soil across our whole country can be revitalized, rivers, lakes and aquifers cleaned up, less livestock, (cows) needed but enabling far higher productivity? More Co2 from the atmosphere being sequestered by the microflora, the mega trillions of bacteria and fungi that live and comprise the soil? Resulting in more sustainability across the ecosphere? Why? Because science is belatedly realising that the answer is found in the soil - healthy soil. Graeme Sait, is the co-founder of Qld Company, Nutri-Tech Solutions (NTS), a recognised world leader in sustainable agriculture/horticulture. He is a sought after, global keynote speaker, plus was the founder of Radiance, the 6 day Wellness Festival in Queensland that attracted crowds in excess of 12,000. He has many years of researching health and wellbeing and the benefits of all the correct foods especially fats and oils to teas, herbal remedies plus soil health agricultural systems and biological farming etc. Learn of the profound interdependence of soil microflora of bacteria and fungi that is crucial to plant growth, healthy soil (and sequesting Co2 from the atmosphere). Just like the micro flora in our gut and digestive system, when we are free of chemical additives, everything flourishes and comes back into balance. www.nutri-tech.com.au There's a grassroots revolution taking place as we read and its emergent principles are so profound that it is ushering in sweeping, positive changes to land use, farming and market gardening practices to our beleaguered planet, Mother Earth. This most refreshing and insightful interview covers minerals, soil bacteria, fungi to plant health, that extends to vegetation, animal and ultimately to human health. Not quite organic, it however, leads us back into the organic world. His inspirational vision for agriculture and human health has been documented in over 300 published articles and he is currently completing three new books, covering this vast subject. A much sought after, entertaining and informative speaker, Graeme has inspired audiences all over the world. Global warming emissions and acidification of the oceans can be mitigated by conscious use of soil bacteria, soil carbon and humous and if we use appropriate knowhow found in biological agriculture … astounding possibilities not mentioned in mainstream media will give the youth (and all people of our planet) a much needed boost in morale and optimism. In South Africa, the uptake of biological agriculture is expanding at near exponential rates as farmers witness the viability and in particular the yields from healthy soil of vital healthy produce. Lead by Woolworths 460 supermarkets nationwide, they only source fresh food from certified Biological farmers and producers. Listen to the profound biological agricultural changes happening with Dole the world's largest producer and marketer of high-quality fresh fruit on the astounding shifts within this corporation that are happening at this very moment. And in Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, having saturated the land with chemical and toxic agriculture, and the resulting highest percentage of cancers per head of population anywhere, are just now, changing course into biological agriculture. Having personally witnessed two of Graeme's presentations myself, you will come away totally inspired to far better health practices, plus a greater respect for nature and the depth of knowledge this man has regarding physical health and well being. His many interviews on GreenplanetFM.com - cover such a range of subject matter - it is so huge and compelling. (Do a search) Covering the cause of the top diseases such as heart, cancer, diabetics, alzheimers and chronic fatigue, to cod liver oil's superb results, as well as coconut oil, the use (or non use) of cooking oils to mineral up-take, plus dumping your microwave oven, to no tilling of your home garden to the incredible results of rotation of cows grazing on pasture is the big story of the future … the list goes on. The holy grail is soil health, based on bacteria, fungi, earthworms in concert with nature and reciprocity is the essence of this biological approach to producing healthy food. WHY? Farming over the last 60 years plus, has been based on the mistaken analysis in the 19th century of plant growth and that NPK, nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium were basically perceived as all that plants needed to utilize to grow, when in fact there are 74 mineral compounds that are all part of whole growth, however Western man has been full-on into unbalancing the soil to where we today have unhealthy soil structure, basically depleted in the other 71 minerals, with far less soil bacteria and fungi, resulting in unhealthy plants, animals and now humans - all due to factory farming, extractive agriculture and an increasingly toxic chemical ideology. Fortunately, this is finally changing. An inspiring interview regarding our collective future.

| Catherine Murupaenga-Ikenn: Māori Cosmology, the Fractal Universe, Quantum Consciousness & Awakening | 27 Sep 2017 | 00:59:26 | |
Māori were living in Aotearoa, New Zealand when Abel Tasman from Holland in 1642 but especially English navigator James Cook in 1769 - put NZ on the map - that’s when the British and Europeans took notice with the early arrivals introducing many different ways of life. This included firearms, alcohol, the bible and private ownership. Loss of Connection This progressively diminished Māori connection especially with the natural elements and within their own Māori peoples - that upon the colonialisation of NZ - this was not what Māori thought was going to be the end result of the ‘te Tiriti o Waitangi' - (the English version of which is known as the ‘Treaty of Waitangi') – an agreement between two sovereign parties: the British Crown and the Māori . Misinterpretations and violations of the ‘Spirit of the Treaty’ led to break down and huge personal loss which were basically ignored - and Māori grievances becoming prominent as a result, marginalising many in their own country. Wars over land and confiscation by the new Government were widespread. But this was no different from European conquest in Africa, the Americas, Australia etc.the original inhabitants became tenants in their county of birth. Whakapapa - Genealogy - Bloodlines (and more) Overriding Māori connection is the central theme of Māoridom being whakapapa … and papa pa and pa - two words - Catherine’s understanding is that - pa - denotes the idea of touching something - and when it is doubled - one can literally say that it doubles the original idea. If pa is touch, what is double that? Imagining when we see a double word like that - it is a transcendent idea of the original idea …. In this example it’s “connection”, which is central to Papatuanuku - Mother Earth - that connection - that is sacred - integral - so whakapapa is a core essence of who you are - because it’s our bloodlines, but more than that - it is that Māori belief is that they descend from God. That we´are children of God. Catherine’s learning comes from her Kaumātua and Kuia - her male and female elders. Kaupapa purpose (and more) Kaupapa kau means - two parts - ka and u - ka is like an activator - it sets you in space and time - u - is like the idea to grasp something … kaupapa and - the papa part reminds you of your whakapapa - which reminds you of your connection to Papatuanku - the Earth Mother - the deity - the divine personality which is our Earth - and she then connects us back to Io-matua-kore - our parentless one - who was the first child if you like of pure potential energy … that Māori track back to the source energy - the source of everything. She said that we need to fundamentally realise that from way back up until now that we need to grasp the idea that we are a divine spark - so from that awareness, what are we to do? What is our kaupapa? Catherine says that upon this spark realisation - she is not going to be small … she is not here to waste time :) It's just “pono”: Truth. Listen to her passion and power! Realising our Potential Catherine decodes for us the divine art within all people - and that we can grow into the light of our own true selves - when we are fortified with this deeply acquired knowingness - coupled to Aroha (compassion). This is where Catherine vibrantly expresses herself in a very big way - that she wishes to leave a legacy - and change the world - and she is acutely aware that this is possible. We can make truly glorious transformations in this world. A river being recognised as a living being This lively interview covers the Whanganui (awa) river here in New Zealand with a catchment area of over 7,000 square kilometres as finally being legally recognised as a living entity in its own right - that under Maori auspices ‘ the river owns itself’ - and that it can now be revered as a living extension of Papatuanku - Mother Earth that is in itself heralding a paradigm shift to one where we recognise the sacredness of life and that we exist in a living pulsing universe. Same for the Te Urewera park being over 2,000 square kilometres being the historical home of Tūhoe. Part of their traditional territory. This interview introduces Bolivia and Ecuador and ‘ the rights of nature’ under the umbrella of Pachamama - that the world is waking up on a planetary scale that within the the atmospheric bubble of the biosphere we are far more intimately connected than we realise. Through air, water and minerals. Plus an essence as well. That things within nature are our relatives - we are all connected through the web of life - that all biota share breath - be it animals, trees and vegetation plus humans all breathing in air and like other animals we humans breathe in oxygen and breath out CO2 whilst other more fixed biota - trees and vegetation breath out O2 and breathe in CO2 - in a profound symphony of interconnectedness and homeostasis. And she says why should only humans get rights? Nature needs them too, which then brings up the intrusion into the natural world of Corporations declaring themselves as having legal personalities and in the US where it is entrenched and they are really pushing this agenda of Corporations having human rights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_personhood Where Corporations are saying they are equal to humans in having human rights and even superior to humans and natural persons and environmental rights and she sees this as just an abomination - that the judiciary and the legislature of countries are going down that road and have abused and corrupted such a critical idea. That as she has a Law degree, she carries more weight in her knowingness. The interview continues around a statement that Tim poses to Catherine, who deftly answers it in a diplomatic matter and from a higher level of consciousness. Tim states: That because the Māori acknowledge and revere their ancestors and their past, whereas the Pakeha or white man especially in NZ, Australia, Canada and the USA, who as recent immigrants to these countries have all left their origins of Britain or Europe in the 17 and 18th century - have in many ways separated from their roots and in not honouring the past, instead consume the future - which we see as Corporations extracting from mother earth at an increasingly furious rate and leaving environmental desecration behind them - including major social purples for the localised inhabitants. We are all Consciousness Catherine, answers by stating - we could look at this and possibly get bogged down - instead she ramps this thread to a higher level, saying before we start looking at us based on colour or culture - that we are consciousness first - that she is ‘wairua’ in spirit and that we are humans first - then our other identities follow - that she is a woman - and then you can say she is Māori and that she does not want to get into separation an us and them thing - it is a ‘we’ thing - that’s what we are - humans living on a planet. That there are so many crises on earth today and we have to address them together and we all have value and we all have something to offer to find the solution and she implores us to come together in the spirit of cooperation and solve that which is surrounding us and coming up over the horizon. Unity of Purpose So this is both our opportunity as well as our challenge - this she says ‘is the holy grail of where we must go’ - so can we come together and collaborate more and see the commonalities and not go to the differences - first - that just our reaction to go to these differences first when the true answer is the coming of unity of purpose and embracing goodwill in our individual and collective journey. Catherine says we are here to experience diversity but in peaceful accord or words to that effect. Listen … She is a superb communicator The Journey is the Reward It’s not about the destination - it's about the journey - and the discovery during this process / unfoldment. She talks about some of her friends that have been given over to their grand parents for their upbringing - and they are a different breed of people - and it is clear as night and day - and it's lovely - that the children have a reverence and a respect as well as a calmness about them - that they are more grounded. She notices that in most cases their perspective is more expansive. Catherine would like to see this happen more, because Māori have done this before, but through the colonisation of NZ many old Māori traditions have been diluted and changed and many lost. Children and Education - Knowledge of your Surroundings. Knowing the bird life in their local area, their sounds, plus how many grasses does a child know? - and insects? - the difference between benevolent insects in comparison to honey bees and wasps and hornets. Plus trees and herbs, especially for their health giving properties. Fish names and whereabouts also. Catherine covers earthing - getting outside on the lawn or in a field and lying in the grass and connecting barefoot. Or tree hugging and the electromagnetic science of feeling the electromagnetic field - that we can become in-balance if we are sensitive to be a ‘body whisperer’ in being receptive to what the environment and nature itself is whispering and breathing into us. People say knowledge is power and Catherine jumps in saying ‘nah nah nah’ - acting on knowledge - is power … She talks about academic associates who keep adding degrees to their name and continuing to educate themselves but possibly not having the time to share this new knowledge as in receiving and then giving. The same goes for our body and spirit - we need both a healthy spirit - wairua and a healthy body ‘temple' - it’s all about balance and combining all the parts of ourselves to become a full whole being. And she says that we have to be our best at the same time communing with nature to grow into the light of our own true selves. Covering James Cameron’s movie Avatar that all the roots of trees were interconnected into one vast neural network right around Pandora the moon - and that the indigenous Na’vi could also connect through their hair to both trees and animals that were part of the natural order of that whole ecosystem. That there was in fact no separation - all living beings, Na’vi, animals and trees were interconnected. We humans are too -with the sharing of breath. Chaos theory that has ended in it order Catherine mentions chaos theory and eventual order out of chaos as in Mandelbrot theory - where all the parts are reflections of the whole - like the Russian dolls one inside the other - inside the other - inside the other - of nesting dolls Matryoshka - matry for matriarchal - motherly. The ubiquitous Bruce Lipton comes up in Catherine’s conversation that we as a humanity ‘the human race’ are an evolving giant organism’ in our own right - as well as our planet being a super organism as well - that within the universal context that God is flowing to evolve what she is (she laughs) - universal consciousness or whatever we want to call it - Io (in Māori) and that the whole shebang - God is continually expanding and refining and finding new ways to experience itself - and so it is never ending … being eternal. That we need to recognise this and that we are a part of that which surrounds us as we shift our consciousness to another higher level. Catherine excitedly states that she really wants to lean into this as she feels like it is being on the fringe of something new - where we can break out of our skin encapsulated ego and awaken to the true brilliance of who we really are. Involving Everyone and Looking Within. Then the question how do we assist in engaging people to encourage them into the realisation that we are all on a profound spiritual unfoldment, if we only shined our focus into our inner life and illuminated our shadow and our ego, that actually holds us back when we are here to release ourselves of our darker limitations. That the fear of ‘change’ being one of our barriers to engaging … We tend to make sure we avoid pain and seek out all kinds of pleasure … as people like and prefer certainty and dislike uncertainty intensely and that is why people fear change. Thus our society remains conservative. Catherine talks about the ego looking back to the pleasures of the past or the future - when in fact the goal for us all is to be in the present - because that is where all the gifts are. Cosmologies. That the universe is both Yin and Yang it is both Tapu and Noa from a Māori perspective The breath of Life - the Ha - comes into Catherine’s - discourse - including change and chaos. Tim throws this into the conversation: Ourplanet.org - is the Mothership of GreenplanetFM.com - his key quip - ‘it’s more than a revolution it is a paradigm shift.’ New and Larger Concepts That we are co creators - if we are born of the Divine and we are divine sparks we must … have some of the characteristics and attributes of God - or universal wisdom and energies … which is creative power and being co creators * She thinks that the young and the millennial are moving fast and awakening to many empowering possibilities * Science and spirituality is converging - quantum mechanics and unified field understandings and wholeness * Science is also saying that most indigenous people have been right all along - that our body has another energy field or soul/spirit and that our planet is a super organism. That everything is an illusion - that we are all just energy fields - same for all matter * That the Golden Rule for Māori is tika, what is right and correct - Pono truth and integrity - and Aroha is compassion - and more … Love * If we are just mindful to the best of our abilities - (as above) we will go far and create miracles * It’s about values and your 'wairua' - spirit She talked about consequences when violating natural law = Cause and Effect Teaching Children - Tamariki (children) and Mokupuna (grandchildren) that acting too proud has consequences Wants the study of ‘Civics’ to be in the curriculum into schools as most young people are disempowered and lack real connection to one’s local community Civic - relating to the duties or activities of people in relation to their town, city, or local area and iwi - Māori peoples. Plus more science into schools - the study of basic consciousness and basic quantum physics as she thinks the cart (focus on the molecular world) is currently before the horse (understanding consciousness). Then at the end I belatedly ask her about her moko - her chin tattoo - and an interesting exchange happens. First Nation Peoples in the South West of the USA have them too. This was a very insightful energised interview and sharing that is very compelling for all who wish to deepen their inquiry into indigenous matters. The ‘kaupapa' (purpose) of Catherine's website is to share knowledge and wisdom that expands the collective consciousness, and contributes to the empowerment of people everywhere to be happy and free. This kaupapa is underpinned by her desire to progressively realize her own personal happiness and freedom. But, as often said, one cannot be truly happy and free unless ALL are happy and free - so, I guess this will be an ever-evolving journey rather than a destination. https://www.catherinem-ikenn.com Catherine (Bl/B.Soc.Sci, LLM) hails from the two Māori peoples of Ngāti Kuri and Te Rarawa whose traditional territories are located in the Far North of the North Island of Aotearoa, New Zealand.

| Angela McLeod: Women’s Rights are Human Rights but how far have we come since women got the vote? | 20 Sep 2017 | 00:58:28 | |
Womens Rights are Human Rights, but do we live in a society of sexism, patriarchy and unconscious bias? As Chinese Leader Mao Tse Tung said, “Women hold up half the sky.” In fact in New Zealand women make up 52% of the population and so hold up just a bit more than half! EMANCIPATION Kate Sheppard and her fellow suffragists gathered the signatures of nearly 32,000 women to demonstrate the groundswell of support for their cause. The result of this was that the Electoral Act 1893 was passed by both houses of Parliament and became law on 19 September 1983. New Zealand women gained the right to stand for election in 1919. The first female MP, Elizabeth McCombs, was not elected until 1933. It took until 1984 for the number of women in Parliament to reach double figures.
In 2014 there were 69 males in parliament and 31 women!
Should we rest without full emancipation of women being implemented in our society? Since the women’s liberation movement quietened in the eighties society has landed up with wide and worsening inequalities, and women suffer most in this type of society, directly and indirectly. | |||
| Peter Wilson: You are being lied to about North Korea! They are not aggressive, they desperately want peace! | 14 Sep 2017 | 00:58:50 | |
In 1973 the North Koreans realising that they were not making any progress with South Korea on formalising Peace, wrote a letter to the US House of Representatives and the US Senate asking for a Peace Treaty and they have never received a reply, so here we are today - why no reply? Well the answer is quite simple - it has nothing to do with North Korea - and Peter gives a documented quote from Condoleezza Rice. US Secretary of State 2005–09. Saying what it does do, is expose the extreme cynicism of the situation and the complete lack of respect for other human life if you are not American. Quote - “the North Koreans are like some sort of road kill on the highway of history …” What is really going on is about America - and the US containment of China - policy. Most people do not know that there was no peace treaty signed by North Korea and the USA - so a ceasefire was arranged - as both sides knew that they could not prevail. Evidently this still irks the US military. Peter still reckons that up until 1971 - they were still keen to have a go at ousting the other - but US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger went to China and President Nixon a year later, changed the geopolitical map - and North Korea suddenly realised that if another war happened that they may not now be able to rely on China so - after weighing this US China dialogue - they decided to ask South Korea to have a peace treaty and get closer together again. - and though they had some talks and it was thought a good idea - nothing really happened (and every year up until today - the successive Kim’s have in their New Year speech proposed and asked for a Peace Treaty.) Hence the above overture to the USA. Peter Wilson of the NZ DPRK Society - New Zealand - Democratic People’s Republic of Korea Society - (Also known as North Korea.) Backgrounder Peter Wilson is a freelance consultant who worked for the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the Food and Agricultural Organisation, including alongside the UN in the UN Development Program - where previously he had worked for long term projects like 2 years in Papua New Guinea and 4 years in the Philippines - implementing long term projects and that eventually morphed into short term projects - like project planning and supervising and troubleshooting. He ended up working twice for the UN in North Korea the first time being in 1997. Media Programing For decades North Korea is a country that the media has always portrayed as an: impoverished rogue state; secretive state; the world’s most isolated and Orwellian state; the whole rotten carcass of the North Korean state; a nuclear weapons state; instability within the rogue state; Stalinist state/the last Stalinist state; a failed state with nuclear weapons/ nuclear weapons state; the state as a religious cult; the world’s most closed state; police state; failed state. Peter says that in the study of the media’s description of North Korea’s state of well being - that every different adjective is used as a prefix before ending in the words ‘North Korea’ and when compared with South Korea there is no such prefix used in front of the words South Korea. Which shows huge amounts of bias. So that we have all been conditioned to see North Korea in a decidedly negative way. However when he looks at where the articles in the media come from they are Bloomberg, Reuters (head office New York) Time New York Times, Washington Post - they are all American sources and reflects the Washington line - And Peter states that Washington looks at the world through a different type of prism from what we in NZ look through. And it is true. (Yet, the fact that Donald Trump calls these above publications (that include CNN) being fake news agencies - brings Peter to laugh about the ironies of existence).The situation of North Korea Having worked for a small UN Agency 20 years ago in Pyongyang called the International Fund for Agricultural Development - Peter had access to virtually the whole of North Korea in 1997 - where he witnessed first hand the plight of the famine at that time. Though it was bad - it was nowhere as near as horrendous as the Western media portrayed and that the reason why this drought lead famine was due to continuous bad weather and climatic conditions and the fact that North Korea was kept out of the international system - due to the USA locking them out of the International Monetary Fund - which meant they could not belong to the World Bank - or to the regional development banks like the Asian Development Bank - That Peter says that the Americans one day, must have blinked and North Korea became a member of the International Fund for Development - which is just a tiny extension, as a multilateral financial institution. Peter has spent the last 40 years of his entire professional career having worked in 21 different Asian countries especially in all the poorest and problem areas which in 1997 took him to North Korea - because they were at the height of their food crisis. It was a US$50 million project dealing in fertiliser and improved crop production of which Peter was involved in $13 million of that - for increasing production of small livestock such as ducks, geese, sheep and goats. When he first went there he had little knowledge about that country - probably less that the average person today knows - mainly because today we are getting more news coverage. However what little he didn’t know really did not stand upon to that he really saw on the ground. That life in North Korea is very different as to what is portrayed by the media - in this case the US media. His most recent visit was last month, August 2017 having worked there on two occasions and on the 5 other occasions he has visited he has represented the NZ DPRK society. This time he came back a little bit staggered.The Economy is Growing Fast He said the economy was booming! He estimated at least three times the numbers of cars on Pyongyang streets since he was last there exactly two years ago. The shops are bursting with consumer goods. Their military deterrence missile/nuclear programme has accelerated. It was brought home to him that sanctions are totally farcical. They just don't work! From all we are told by the media, North Korea is an aggressive threat to the world. They are not. North Korea's crime is to stand up to the United States and not allow US Corporations to trade there! The South Korean Central Bank’s latest study maintains the North Korean economy grew at least 3.9% last year - However Peter thinks that the growth could be a lot more than this 3.9%, due to the way the GNP is assessed by the South Koreans. Peter says that over his numerous times of visiting that he can easily see that the standards of living are increasing and it is quite different from what is portrayed in our media i.e they are not having to eat grass! As Peter has been working in a large number of Asian countries for 40 years, that to be effective he said you have to understand the system - where the power is - who is up who - and if you don’t understand that political context - plus the social context you will not get what’s going on in these countries. So in having to visit many strange situations, assess them all and then be productive - that was the factors that he dealt with. This interview covers: US Black Basketball player Dennis Rodman and his frequent visits to North Korea to assist in sporting skills and opening more understanding. That Rodman wants to play peace-keeper between Trump and Kim That Peter in 1997 was asked to be on the ground to see exactly what the drought was like and the famine that the Western media told us about. He says it was a privilege to be selected for this UN assessment trip which as an extension of the World Food Program and Food and Agricultural Organisation. They were awake to this as there definitely, was a problem. So this team - possibly the first Western team ever was able to travel extensively right through the country because for the aid money to go to North Korea, the United Nations had to know the seriousness of this event. But what they were looking at didn’t actually gel with what North Korea was telling the world -because people were not dying by the thousands (or eating grass) and though there was hunger there were not nearly as serious - a problem as we had heard from the Western media - and Peter was able to see that there was not a huge increase in the deaths of elderly and children. Climate: the ground in North Korea is frozen hard for 6 months a year and that only 15% of the land can be used for arable farming. The North Koreans say they have 172 frost free days a year - they don’t say that they have so many sunshine days a year, or so many rainy days like we do in NZ. So for 6 months of the year they have to work really hard through this time to grow enough food - but as North Korea is a very mountainous country with only 15% arable land they just can not produce enough food in that small area - and they utilise whatever space they can. Peter says that historically they have to work really diligently, and though their agriculture is technically very good - he says they have to make sure that they have enough food for the coming winter. The Failure of the Soviet Economy affected North Korea This is where the deconstruction of the Soviet Union comes in, in the early 1990’s - for when it deconstructed the USSR - North Korea and also Cuba had always been subsidised by the Soviets, and as they were going broke - they were not able to give food to their ex client states (like Cuba too). That when the bad weather hit North Korea - there was a major shortfall. Because they could not source cheap diesel and fertiliser and when it came to food - especially grain, it all stopped because they had no trading system with the West at all. So that when Russia finally emerged out of the USSR it was broke - and needing hard currency themselves wanted payments for goods in hard currency e.g US$ - but North Korea had none of that either. So the North Koreans actually exaggerated their circumstances a little and they were able to receive free food from Oxfam and the other charity agencies. Which he said was quite clever of them. Peter then states that to this day - certain overseas mouth pieces state that two to three million people died - but he says - that’s not true - and that sure, there were some deaths - maybe 250,000 over many years maybe up to 750,000 people, Peter says that there may have been 3 to 400,000 premature deaths that happened. Note NZ contributed aid at that time However when George Bush 2 came to power he swapped the game plan and instead sent food to Africa. So the North Koreans still need to now top up their food requirements - grain wise and they they have been able to buy this on the international market as they have the cash. What is not known is that the US put the first sanctions on North Korea in 1950 and they are proposing to do it even more. - but it is clearly not working … as the North Koreans are making their own consumer goods as well. Consumers Goods & Military development is accelerating So North Korea’s military development has accelerated and so has their standard of living and the economy is growing and the sanctions just don’t work. Nuclear Tests, Missile tests ands Satellite systems Containment of ChinaThe reason why America does not want a peace treaty of any sort is, because it's all to do the US containment policy of China. The US wants forward defence in South Korea and Japan, and as far away from the United States of America, however Kim is bringing home to the Pentagon and the State Department - that he has the technology to build missiles that will one day be able to reach the heartland of the US, but North Korea is yet not in the arena of placing a nuclear warhead on a missile. Meanwhile across the radio waves, TV, satellite systems and the internet the US is ramping up North Korea as the bandit nation that will definitely send an intercontinental missile to America or any of its allies - and this story has been fanned by the US corporate media - and the South Korean people have bought it - plus the Japanese public and 99.5% of the whole world - have been taken in by this continuous rhetoric. US wanting to be the Dominant Country on Earth (With hundreds of bases globally the US wants to be the only dominant player on planet earth. They are not looking for partners other than the Anglo American alliance, with Israel somehow inserting itself into the equation as well. China is still in the ascendancy and is overtaking America in most areas of production and trade and modernising its military very rapidly. Thus China is seen as the greatest threat). General Wesley Clark Youtube (Mentioned in this interview by Tim) The reason the refugee crises came to Europe over the last number of years was given by General Wesley Clark about 10 days after 911 when he went to the Pentagon and was told by another General that the US was going to take down about 7 Middle Eastern countries. And this has basically happened and is still happening under cover of the Arab Spring revolutions. Syria being the latest and then - on to Iran. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RC1Mepk_Sw The Neo Cons in the US are the ones directing these actions. Plus, an unconscious humanity not taking any responsibility throughout the West to address the Neo-Con agenda. Peter mentions William Blum - ex CIA agent who tells about the list of 57 countries since WW2 that the USA has been involved in attempting and in most cases changing a regime to whom they wanted . https://williamblum.org/ The fact that is: of all the countries that have stood up to the USA - it is North Korea. Which regrettably makes them more hated by Uncle Sam who uses all means of propaganda that can be trained on them by US corporations to constantly demonise this country. Note NZ was demonised when it became Nuclear Free and thus was ejected out of ANZUS, by the US. Rejection by the US Government - again. In January last year - the North Koreans made a proposal to the United States - and said that if you halt your war-games with South Korea - they will freeze their nuclear development program - and this will give us the space to talk - Washington said NO. Because of the US military controlled Governmental intransigence - this has driven China and Russia even more closer together. Plus, Putin has come out supporting this freeze - but to no avail. New Zealand's Role The Helen Clark Labour Government many years ago opened up diplomatic contact with North Korea and was consistent in remaining in contact - however the National Government under Sir John Key has cut this link - and there has been no contact for 3 years and Peter states that it is Wellington’s fault, because Pyongyang wants to talk. Being Shunned At the time of Nobel Peace Prize winner, Barack Obama’s 2nd Presidential election the North Koreans sent a letter to him asking for the cessation of hostilities stating that they wanted a Peace Treaty. Asking for: Recognition of their sovereignty - Wanting the lifting of sanctions - Wanting all foreign troops out of the Korean Peninsular - Finally asking to talk about an implemented and Internationally agreed upon Nuclear Free Korean Peninsular - The answer from Obama - nothing …. Peter states that today this is still the North Korean Policy of wanting a Peace treaty Finding Neutral Nations to broker an agreement (Where is NZ?) Norway is seen as a country with the courage and the vision to get out into the world and forge peace and bring people to the table - whereas NZ shies away from any ‘major global engagement’ and for reason we do not understand. Ache in Indonesia, Palestine, Sri Lanka are mentioned as having Norwegian involvement and Peter tells of meeting a diplomat from Norway by chance in Pyongyang and asking him why not North Korea seeing Norway's has been so worldly active? With the diplomat saying the reason there is no action on the Korean peninsular is because the USA would not be happy. Other Subject Matter Covered. The North Korean Voting System Covering of the Leadership of the three Kim's since the 1950’s and why only them? Peter stating that they are following a Confucian model and it is not really that different from China or Vietnam and or Laos. That North Korea, also sees flaws in these systems - saying that the rural people in both China and Vietnam are being left out of the equation. The North Korean’s are making their own business model and not following exactly what China or Vietnam are doing - they are doing their own version of business - because they know that the people in the cities in China are doing well but as above the people in the countryside are not and the North Korean Government want to even the playing field. They are conscious of this inequality in Vietnam as they see it as worse than that of China - and Peter says they look him straight in the eye and they’ll tell him “it is no better in the West - where the rich are getting richer and the poor remain poor.” They say that they are still looking for a better way - whilst still holding to their socialist ideals being egalitarian and they are modernising and getting ready to interact with the global economy and have a fairer society for their people. Listen to Peter … Education English is now being taught in Primary, Secondary & Universities Whereas in 1997, it was only being taught in universities so as to teach diplomats and so forth.. Agricultural food production 30% of food is now traded by sole traders - where as many years ago it was all run by the state. Health and Medicine hospitals are very good - well trained personnel. They were using interactive TV technologies communicating with other doctors and nurses in the other towns and cities. Housing in the last 20 years - Peter surmises that nearly the whole country has rebuilt or modernised all it’s housing and apartment blocks, in the 20 years he has been visiting the country - where in 1997 it was just a country of square concrete grey block houses - but today huge changes and now there are some architecturally stunning apartment blocks been built. Peter encourages whatever new New Zealand Government that gets elected to restore relations with North Korea, just like Helens Clark’s Labour Government did prior to this previous National administration.

| Steve Papps: What shapes a 'Once Were Warriors’ child into a man who serves others? | 07 Sep 2017 | 00:58:18 | |
Steve Papps is here in conversation with Liz Gunn who admits from the outset that Steve was a valuable mentor to her when she was going through a divorce, short on funds and even shorter on self confidence. From those days, they have cemented a firm friendship. Steve has helped many people who are in challenging life situations and unsure about how to find a way through, and how to blossom again as people. A very harsh childhood Steve Papps has three businesses - Papps Nutrition, Papps Consultancy, and LifeForce Water. All of this from a man who grew up in a home that by his own admission was a “Once Were Warriors” household. Liz asks him about the early challenges he faced- an unavailable father, an alcoholic mother and a house where parties, violence, police being called in the night, and dire poverty, were the norm. Yet he found bright spots - the good foster families who took him and his brother in at times, a love of learning and of his schooling in Remuera thanks to the state housing in which they were lucky enough to live. Steve talks of having to have a pillow over his face and ears as a boy ( and he still does this) to be able to go to sleep. With that pillow over his face, he would make internal resolutions that he would be a father who hugged his children and was connected with them, and also a man rich enough to provide for his children so he could give them the kind of childhood he was not enjoying . These were the early days of his unknowingly developing his ability to create a different reality for himself. Determined to excel at school and in sport Steve was determined to excel at school in sport. With his bright mind, he also soaked in the good learning. But at 13, that state house was pulled down and the family were moved to a much rougher area and to a school in Penrose. From there, the two brothers started getting involved in drugs and alcohol and his schooling suffered. When he was 16, he found out he was to become a father. He had an innate sense of what is right. He chose to stay with the mother of his child and sought out work. By 19, he was the father of three children . Being responsible as a young 17 year old At 17 he took on a commission job. He realised he could make in one day, what he was making in a week in his other job. He followed the advice of his Maori mentor exactly- “ I didn’t out think it. I did exactly what he said “ . He had to keep a positive mental attitude and never give up. He simply never gave his attention to the negative thoughts. His first day’s sales were a record. “ You see Liz, I had to sell ( or ) my son didn’t eat “. By 18, he had risen to assistant manager of NZ for the company, and he was running a whole team. Steve then alluded to the second company he began - a security company which became extremely successful for him. Using certain Principles to focus on Success Liz and Steve discuss the principles behind success, by looking at Papps Consultancy’s aim-to help people with their consciousness, to help people understand how the Universe really operates . Everything is a reflection of the internal world, the internal thoughts. He took these understandings in to Papps Nutrition and into body building. From coming last in his first competition, after studying the nutrition to help him win, he ended up representing NZ at the most prestigious amateur championship Mr Universe . “ I became passionate - I outsmarted the bigger guys in nutrition and I studied how my mind works “ Steve now gets up at 4.30 am and does a 12 to 14 hour day at work plus his workout . By the end of the day, he still has the same level of energy as at 4.30, and he says it’s because he knows how to eat, how to drink water, how to think and how to breathe . Combatting poor health and eating choices. Steve talks of the growing levels of poor health in society . One example is the epidemic levels of diabetes - 9 people a week in NZ losing a limb because of diabetes - and yet he has seen evidence that it is able to be healed. “ Obviously there’s evidence that as a population, we’re doing something wrong . And it’s the way that we’re shopping, the way that we’re eating “ He says that most people are overfed and at the same time are starving- starving of nutrients. Steve tells the story of a client, Colin, who had Type 2 diabetes. He was addicted to drugs and alcohol when he met Steve. He was very depressed. Steve did a nutrition plan for him . 8 weeks later, he had an appointment with the doctor and he was off all medication. His own doctor said to him “ Whatever you’re doing, just keep doing it” . The doctor added a follow up comment to that, which may surprise you when you listen to this interview. Steve was bemused- and he and Colin were both confused by the doctor’s comment. Colin’s life story completely changed with his better health, his diabetes healing, his drug free life, his weight loss from 124 kg to 82 kg, his fitness programme, but most of all , with the different thinking patterns he developed through his talks with Steve, and the coaching he received. Thanks to the shifts from that different perspective which Colin developed, he is now in a happy relationship, has a young child, travels around the world , and is on his way to getting his own home. “Discipline gets you started, it’s just like turning the key in the ignition. What is required is awareness. Discipline will get you started but awareness keeps the change” Discipline but more-so - it’s Awareness Steve and Liz discuss the idea of awareness, and the difference of that from just positive thinking. He tells the story of Rene, his friend who now runs a successful business . But he used to have a false sense of “ NEXT week I’ll get my business started” ( and Steve talks about how people do that with fitness too - and in many other areas - “NEXT week I’ll get around to that “) . Steve tells the story of how he challenged Rene’s desire to stay within his comfort zone. Liz asks what happens when that human being takes that leap off the cliff. Steve says every successful person will tell you about the failures they have had. It’s part of the process towards success. You can’t succeed without failures. And they’re not even really failures. They’re part of the refining of your consciousness. Consciousness and Energy Everything is energy, vibrating - protons , neutrons, electrons… but in their most refined form, it’s just one energy expressing itself in many forms. There’s actually only one energy vibrating on different frequencies. When it comes to money, it’s all about the vibration we hold - it’s nothing to do with how smart we are, how many hours we work , or even the product itself! It’s as if there is a mirror. The mirror will reflect back to you the essence of the energy at which you vibrate. Ask -for example- how do I truly feel about money today ?? Steve has found that every wealthy person has one thing in common: they truly expected to be wealthy. He takes a further common example- the woman who grew up in a home seeing her mother abused and now, as an adult, set at that frequency, she will tune in to an abuser, just as an abuser will tune in to a victim. It’s not from her conscious thoughts. What she needs is an awareness of deep subconscious energy ." Everything in your external world is a reflection of your internal world “ That person - that behaviour- can only stay in your life by you giving it attention. Tuning in and becoming focused Steve gives a powerful metaphor for tuning your energy, by likening the 'tuning in' to changing the frequency of a radio. Reality is happening inside of you. It’s only your attention to something that makes it ‘exist' outside you. Changing from within Everyone is trying to change their external world, not their internal thinking patterns and beliefs. That is where the misunderstanding lies. These are shifts in fundamental understandings. "Reality happens on the inside and the story we’re playing out on the inside, we’ll see hardened into physical form on the outside. But that’s not reality “ . It all starts from within. Someone who is vibrating from frustration will manifest frustration around her effortlessly . Our bodies consist of trillions of cells with their own intelligence In each of our bodies are 37.2 trillion cells. That’s 37.2 reactions per second ! That’s an incredible intelligence flowing through us every second. Life flowing effortlessly. There are laws that operate this universe. The influence you have is tremendous and these laws of the universe are exact. The laws of the Universe. You can apply them in each area of your life. You can have a totally different life . But if you don’t even understand them, it won’t open up for you . Awakening to possibilities Liz asks Steve about that little boy with his head under the pillow, daydreaming of a different life. Living it in his imagination. Steve talks of Einstein saying that imagination is more powerful than knowledge. Imagination is Image- in-action. Liz refers to that third company - LifeForce Water - and the book on water which Steve has written. And she asks him about his successes making millions in a security company. And how he also misapplied the principles which had helped him build up wealth and success, by saying to himself “Don’t you mess this up”. Liz says she will discuss this with Steve in greater detail in their next programme. Learning from mistakes :) And Tim Lynch, who was sitting in the studio waiting to edit the interview, later edited in the reaction of Liz when she thought they were all off air! It’s a spontaneous, heartfelt reaction to a man Steve Papps, who helps others from his own heart. Papps Nutrition - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oil6YUKk3Hs https://www.pappsnutrition.com

| Joe Rifici: With Middle Earth Under Covid Siege - Is NZ the ‘Ring Bearer’? Will We Scour Our Shire? | 15 Apr 2021 | 00:59:59 | |
Where it has been tried by the Romans, Attila the Hun to Hitler but they never achieved a truly global conquest. Well, today this is the latest ambition of globalists: the 0.001% and they have technologies that reach deep into peoples homes and by using psychological means are able to monitor all differing contingencies within the soul of all nations. Not only that, they have a level of centralisation of wealth and power - and corruption that has enabled an unprecedented attempt to destroy freedoms and rights - globally. The pretext for this 'has been in the works' for quite a long time - this has been a result of decades of 24/7 (well paid) think tanks and strategies and planning. (e.g. supercomputer scenarios). What we are seeing now is a culmination of the most ambitious tyrannical project to be conceived by human aspirants to totalitarianism. And the pretext for this is which is the perfect pretext - basically it’s so much better than the terrorism bogeyman or some nation as a bogeyman - it's a microbe - Joe says that it is pathetic - that fear has been unleashed on the global population and that it has been ramped up to such a degree it is causing psychological havoc among the human population. That they are giving up their rights and freedoms and that using as the pretext - germs as a disease on the human race. So as to be cowered at this moment to be controlled and become servile and allow the removal of democratic freedoms and human rights. It is so easy - especially when you have the total corruption of ‘mainstream corporate mass media’ - and he says let's face it - they are the linchpin - saying that none of this would be possible if we had a shred of real journalism left in widespread mass media. Robert F Kennedy Jnr is mentioned as a world beacon to sanity Del Bigtree on the highlife Dr Andrew Kaufman Dr Judy Microvitz Rasheed Buttah The World Doctors Alliance Joe says that when you see a famous figure who is being savagely attacked and being discredited by the establishment especially by MSM - that alone is a signpost that - that person is 'over the target' and is standing up for truth. That they have everything to lose and nothing to gain - so why would they be saying it as opposed to those ‘shills’ who are on the payroll and are in the establishment ladder of promotion and perks and grants etc - which are attacking them. Tim asks for bravery at this moment of time - asking for New Zealanders to stand up and have the spine to be the 5 million to take the time to research and see what is really happening and Joe says that he feels that in NZ there is a lot of possibility for us to come through this - due to the fact that the Health Department is not going to be deploying the full force of the vaccine program for some months into the future. This gives us a very unique situation because we can assess what is happening globally. Especially we can see what is happening in the UK as around half their population have been injected and also in Israel it is the same. Facebook still has some very compelling stories about what is happening in these countries. We can also look at NZ as things are really heating up with the death of Pauline Hanna of Remuera on the day of her (supposedly) second Pfizer jab and the NZ media taking her off the front page and censoring all information relating to this. This is like the smoking gun - it proves totally what Joe is conveying about our sell out media marching to the beat of a (very) different drum. NZ Border and Health Workers to Take the Injection? Also, the NZ government, attempting to force border workers and other public (health) servants to take the vax with a ”No Jab, no job” policy. (Tim, we can not have our border security officials and personnel being used as guinea pigs - same for our soldiers who are here to protect the integrity and sovereignty of our borders. We have to protect our protectors. If they all become unwell - who will then take their place? Plus, who would want to?) Once enough people become aware - rapid ‘conscious change’ can happen. Joe intimates that when enough people become more knowing and receive more uncensored but ‘truthful’ information, there will eventually be a flip and change will rapidly unfold. Citing the fall of the Berlin Wall virtually over night and the fall of the Soviet Iron Curtain - (and even Apartheid in South Africa) - that seem to fall instantly - and rapid change can happen when the people are ready for a more transparent paradigm. Saying this change has been building incrementally over time - until it reaches a critical mass - and he thinks it is just a matter of time - be it globally or in each country in their own time - but certainly in NZ we have been blessed in NZ with some extra time. So as to get a better handle of the dynamics and lies relating to covid and the vaccine rollout. You can see patients in the US in hospital beds, on FB and Telegram - in one case a Johnson & Johnson injection one day - blood clots, seizures and aneurysms in the brain the next day - and our government has all New Zealanders lined up for this - and we are being herded somewhat like down a cattle chute to a destination no one ever in their wildest nightmares would believe - especially what a 'kind' government would do! What is the blatant hurry - when we have contained whatever it is? Let's wait and see what is happening world wide and check up on the people who have been injected and see how they respond over the next 6 months or so. At present we in NZ are still able to export food, and yes, we are not producing to the amount that we would like - however when it comes to the health of our citizens - can we not wait this out? REMEMBER - not one baby, or infant, child, teenager or twenty something has died in NZ from Covid. So let us wait for a little longer. We must be aware that NZ’s indigenous people the Maori have already been overridden at so many levels by British colonial power and if they are coerced into having their physical sovereignty breached by injection they may very well rebel - (this is what some Maori are muttering) and anyone in the know - realise that for the last 60 years plus, many Maori have been trained as soldiers and are still wise in the ways as to how military operations are deployed. Therefore if ‘ordinary’ Maori are neglected in the decision making process and decide to ‘not comply’ in mandatory vaccinations this could very well overflow and instil courage in the young into how to resist being vaccinated. Also mentioned, is the elderly - many who have lived long enough to have witnessed enough lies and betrayals in the political arena over their lifetime and have seen tyranny before and they will not be so easily led as more ‘concerning’ information comes to public knowledge due to social media skirting MSM programming. Plus, a lot of immigrants have seen tyrannical regimes far more than any New Zealanders - so they too will be on edge. So 'taking out' those most dangerous groups first would be an obvious campaign strategy. Joe also says that where we have found ourselves today, is in essence a result of us allowing the system to roll on without any direct participation. Voting every 3 years is not participative democracy. We have in so many ways just stood by for decades and watched our governments and the elites, the wealthy and powerful corporations run away with their own game plan. From the larger context, virtually abuse and disempower Third world countries, taking over and playing power games over them. See Latin America, South East Asia and Africa, especially the Middle East - we the Western countries have interfered for too long. Joe goes on to repeat what happened in Germany in and around 1933. Remember These Famous Words. First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. That we today are culpable at this point because we became complacent, lazy, distracted and eventually thoughtless ... like acquiescent and apathetic .. and by us not involving ourselves we have eventually come to this point. And it takes what it takes to wake us up! So he says it is all perfect - we are now in a situation where we can re-right the ship of state - we now have an opportunity to involve ourselves and to even take another meme from America - drain the swamp! That by involving ourselves we have to take the high ground and surmount what is being diabolically projected on us and take the required legal action. By cooperating together we can take the required action to stop this adulterated evil that has the world in a tightening vice like grip. So we have to rise to the occasion or we submit to being a casualty and that is precisely what is lined up for us. NOTE: the noble path is that 'the means justifies the end' - whereas the darkened shadow side goes by 'the ends justifies the means.' Both Fascist and Communist will adhere to this power play. This is what the burning of the Reichstad in Germany in 1933 or the 911 'Inside Job' in America - evil never believes in goodwill, honesty, truth, principle - basically power comes out of the barrel of a gun that will be used on you - at will. We in NZ have been far to spoilt and complacent and now that we in our oversight mode - we can see that the Government is being prodded by unseen powers and vaccine manufacturers - and are herding us down a cattle chute and there is becoming less and less wriggle room and as we put our head up and look further down to where the authorities have set up an injection station - we see the writing on the wall - and we realise that we never ever read the small print - we have let 'eternal' vigilance fade away ... so ... what is it to be? Joe says now ... everyone will face a line in the sand. Listen - Subrogation or your Sovereignty - your choice - LISTEN A defining moment and a very necessary moment. Joe mentions this in the first few moments of the interview and didn’t elaborate - and I omitted to have him explain about the Kali Yuga. It is about the Hindu calendar, telling of the 26,000 years cycle and we are in the darkest of this cycle at present. ‘Where the shadow gets its chance to dance and matter becomes its densest. Taking the Children’s Attention Away We are having to see our children mesmerised and hypnotised with screens and super edgy everything on devices. He questions subliminal activities on the screens and events happening below conscious eye level with frequencies that are unseen. Thus going on beyond their overt propaganda as to what is really happening via these screens;. Joe has lived in NZ since1985 and when first here he saw a certain depth of thinking and general awareness of average New Zealanders - today 2021 - he sees a deep deep sleep and a lack of common sense or willingness to put 2 and 2 together - or willing to see the obvious when put right in front of one's eyes. So he is very suspicious of the ‘screen age’ especially since the year 2000 technological prowess has created this sensation, leading to virtually all children by 10 having access to a phone,ipad or tablet of sorts Controlling Mechanisms Being Deployed in Plane Sight. Our Natural Support Systems This includes our air, water and food and chemtrails and the full spectrum attack on body, mind and spirit and blocking the pineal gland with substances such as fluoride - that this is all basically the most evil attempt he has ever been to prevent human evolution - the spiritual evolution of humanity. Bill Gates is mentioned - the billionaire and the Bilderberg group, the Trilateral Commission, the Council of Foreign Relations and the Club of Rome and all the elite secret organisations that have been planning depopulation for a very long time - see the Georgia Standing Stones. https://www.wired.com/2009/04/ff-guidestones/ Listen Unbeknown we are to be surrounded by frequency assaults - millimeter waves within the 5G spectrum - beyond just mobile phones - because they are criminally insane. World Economic Forum and the Great Reset For example, Klaus Schwab - the Davos - World Economic Forum - a Rothschild Agenda - and they are 'programming us with the thought that in the near future we will not own anything and we will be happy! https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/ Joe says that the government no matter what party - are servants to other masters and he says that they actually know it. They are not really our servants any more ... such is the way all governments around the world are today - they have all been infiltrated and are not really answerable to their constituents any more - hence wanting to fluoridate all NZ water that affect children's intelligence negatively and that also calcifies the pineal gland - (something thing that mainsstream health professionals don't really know about anything of its existence). https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/dr-paul-connett-dr-vyvyan-howard-declan-waugh-fluoride-is-a-neurotoxin-that-reduces-iq-of-children That ‘they’ - especially in little recent New Zealand - are now corralled and are in ‘way over their heads.’ Especially small countries like NZ - They are in essence - being pushed around and if things go 'south' - and Government collapses due to an awakened electorate and society - they will be classified like the French Vichy collaborators of Germany in the 2nd World War. A POSITIVE OUTCOME FOR NEW Zealand and the future of Children. Joe sees NZ as being a land of opportunity and innovation and creating a new bio harmonic holistic society. That NZ can still be the emerging microcosm for the planetary macrocosm - because we have basically good infrastructure in place and a wealths of knowledge from the past as well. New Zealand has so many Superb things going for it as a Country We here are still not commercially growing genetically engineered food - BUT the higher ‘monetarist’ echelons want to dilute our natural seed and crops with GE and GMO’s and if they can sneakily weasel their way through NZ’s biosecurity, they will do it. That we are also still a Nuclear Free Country and no super power can bring a ship with nuclear weapons on board or be nuclear propelled - into our territorial waters - especially our harbours, is a position of both sanity and a better future for children. Joe calls on the movie Lord of the Rings to learn from its message. An Extension of Lord of the Rings NZ can become a beacon and a light for the rest of the world. That Joe draws from left field the fact that the movie trilogy Lord of the Rings was filmed in NZ - and that Tolkin the author was a special human who understood many aspects and qualities of human nature. But more so, that Joe had a reaction to this trilogy because it was left out of the film. Hence the heading. This Joe thinks is a tragedy because the ‘Scouring of the Shire’ was not included by NZ director PeterJackson - (I agree) - because it is all about cleansing and the rebuild - the flowering of their civilisation once again to bring all people together - to be free, and honest and experience joy and allow life to flourish - and they they lived happily ever after ... What happened in this deleted part is very analogous to what is actually happening now - that we need to roll up our sleeves and bring about a new NZ and with entrepreneurial vigour and team spirit and save the day. The pity that this segment of the book being left out by Peter Jackson sadly did not show us this mirror that could have empowered New Zealanders to co-operate more and come together as a dynamic and synergistic, holistic, family of creative beings. Supra Hobbits :) Joe states that this was one of the most important and satisfying chapters in the book !! And a very important closure of the whole book. Because the small team of Hobbits came back to the Shire to see that Sauron’s minions had taken over the Shire and essentially sucked the life force and light out of it. Trees were being cut down and factories were replacing them - but upon their return - they were so empowered and had transcended fear, that when they entered the deeper part of the Shire their courage and shear brilliance in being, inspired the Shire Hobbits to overthrow these empty pretenders and then the the Shire became free once again - but even more so. Joe says that it was a major pity that this was missed out of the book - because it was a metaphor for NOW - it was such a critical juncture in the history of the Hobbits and the Shire - the success of this, had it been filmed would have put Nuclear Free NZ and (nearly) GE FREE NZ blazingly out these on the world map - but ... you can think your response here .... Also: Kudos to Sue Grey and her growing team and the High Court case against the Medicines Act - and that what the Government is doing is essentially against the Law. Joe is confident that critical mass is already encroaching and that NZ will be one of the first to turn the illegal vaccinating of NZs - around. We have to be patient and only empowered - the system is unwieldy - because it is driven by ideology and not love - especially for the human species Joe says though he wants to help and he does - ‘we can not be our brother’s keeper’ and that we can be too attached to results - knowing we are all on our own journey. Everyone has their own karma - everyone has their own lessons to learn and we can not judge lessons that might be for someone else. That we have compassion but also a certain level of detachment. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/we-are-now-entering-full-blown-tyranny-western-world Thomas Wyse - "PUBLIC HEALTH ANNOUNCEMENT There’s a serious pandemic sweeping the globe. It’s called the Propaganda Virus. It’s affecting billions of people around the planet every day. The Propaganda Virus is a neurolinguistic pathogen created by humans as a biological weapon for mind control. It is comprised of language, cultural symbols, and memes designed to manipulate the masses toward a particular point of view in order to control opinions and behavior. The virus is transmitted through all forms of media communication and is particularly prevalent during political season. The Propaganda Virus spreads by getting others to accept a proposition without challenge on logical, factual, or judicial grounds and to act in service of those false beliefs, side-stepping critical response in favor of emotional reaction. Repetition of suggestion and/or insinuation is one of the most effective means the virus uses to infect the masses. Those affected may experience loss of personal agency and/or rational, independent thought which can lead to hatred, delusional thinking, severe depression, extreme emotional volatility, and in some cases deadly aggression toward self and others. Since the advent of the internet and social media, the Propaganda Virus can now spread like wildfire through the airwaves to the entire global community in real time. The Propaganda Virus is highly contagious and can survive undetected in the human brain disguised as personal conviction. Protect your immune system through a build up of critical thinking skills. Do not consume and share media from biased sources with an agenda, and be sure to cleanse your brain daily with meditation while cultivating a positive mental attitude as negativity, fear, worry, and stress is a breeding ground for infection. If you believe you’ve been infected by the Propaganda Virus then stop ingesting mass media immediately, pet a dog or cat, and consume a healthy dose of Nature until fear subsides and rational clarity is restored. All is well. 100% of those reading this will probably die anyway, eventually. In the meantime, it is advised that you live happily and spread love instead of fear. Thank you!

| Liz Gunn and Lisa Er ask why about homelessness, poverty, Witch-hunt Welfare, the banking system, the media and more! | 30 Aug 2017 | 00:59:55 | |
A conversation between two lively caring Kiwi women about the state of our nation. Liz Gunn and Lisa Er took time this week to Korero about the state of the nation and the ways in which New Zealanders can educate ourselves about our country and our world. (A korero is a conversation or a discussion.) Sadly, the wider research on our country’s current poverty and homelessness, on our record suicide numbers, on the widening gap between the haves and the have nots, can have the sense of a litany of failures . There are many reasons to feel discouraged. BYPASS MAINSTREAM MEDIA Yet the freedoms offered by the internet, and online (and radio) discussion, can offer a way through this sense of overwhelm. Lisa and Liz discuss the ways in which to become more informed and to find the courage to question the norms and the prevailing viewpoints often sold to us through media acolytes of the government viewpoint. From there, it’s rewarding to become actively involved - by each of us making our own contributions, in our own corners of this country we love. Liz talks of her work with the homeless on our streets and Lisa refers to the nurturing of a system of values as a bedrock for political and societal decision-making. Perhaps the biggest issue coming in to the election is the need to find the passion to stand up and to speak out. Certainly that is the spirit in the studio when Lisa and Liz meet for their discussions. ISSUES One can see on social media much distress about the poverty in New Zealand, lack of housing, homelessness, and frustration about the state of our rivers and lakes. There are those who passionately want change, to cannabis laws, 1080 drops, fluoride in our water, and the banking system. Others want to ensure that our food is safe and labelled, and that genetic engineering is not let out into the environment. Education and health figure strongly in the list of concerns that people have. Some people concentrate on single issues and become experts, and others view the issues from a bigger picture. However all of the above, and more, need to be included in the discussions we have, especially before the elections. Unfortunately the mainstream media tends to focus on leaders and not on policy so some people feel disinclined to vote. Corruption is another issue that people find hard to accept but as Nicky Hager show us in his two latest books, “Dirty Politics”, and “Hit and Run”, we need to be very awake and aware. HOPE Both Liz and Lisa hope that joining in with this korero - through your own listenership - will nurture passion in each valued listener, and bring the simmering fire in your belly to life in a burning blaze of thoughtful discussion on the main aspects of New Zealand life that need to be improved . Such outspokenness will lend an urgency to pre-election build-up, and may even inspire our families -and especially our young - to sign up as voters, and speak up as Kiwis.

| Caroline Robinson: Regenerative Development - the Art, Science & Beauty of Co-evolving Place & People | 23 Aug 2017 | 00:59:04 | |
Caroline Robinson is the founder of Cabal, a creative studio exploring and advancing new pathways for regenerative development. Results of Cabal’s public art collaborations can be seen across Auckland City and beyond. The whole living systems practice behind these artworks, informs Cabal’s wider role as an integration facilitator, contributing to complex city-making projects by supporting project teams to grow the capability to work in full reciprocity within their unique community and place. I first met Caroline at Dave Breuer’s - Anew NZ ‘group mind gathering’ - at AUT - Auckland University of Technology. There she had a huge blank art board at this visionary function that let her visually translate the stories that speakers covered, to that very engaged audience. This enabled people to see how intellectual concepts and mental information can be elegantly transcribed into a visual form that was holistic in intent and that lead us to explore as participants, how we the people can become involved and renew our whole country. Based on Measures of Genuine Progress (and “genuine economic success”), as a challenge to the misuse of GDP, via the measurements of social, cultural, economic, environmental and governance wellbeing - with the public shared visions determining the goals of wellbeing. (See at the bottom of this posting.) Measuring Human Joy and Contentment Dr Ron Coleman from Canada was at this function to explain and Dr Marilyn Waring http://www.marilynwaring.com/ as an Ex National Party Member of Parliament (who went/rebelled against the National Prime Minister Robert Muldoon, many years previously) introduced Ron as she had been doing work on the ’true’ cost of living index and how do we measure success - particularly our decision making process at a governmental level. Known as the ‘genuine progress indicators' - meaning not just managing the gross national product and financial benefits from across the country - but also understanding what makes us flourish - what brings joy and happiness and peace as well as bringing balance in a holistic way. Today, Caroline as an extraordinary creative artist - is still very much aligned with the notion of ‘genuine progress indicators’ she remains very interested and curious about what are the conditions that we need for life to flourish within our homes, within our communities, our nation and our planet. Community & Connection Asking the question? - How do we create a flourishing for all of life - including ourselves? Food being a conductor of getting together to eat and share … gatherings around eating and sharing - being a universal common ground - and in the world of today that needs to be more unified - Caroline's focus is - how do we bring this all together? So what is it we need to improve? Like how do we re relate to each other - connect the fragmentation and those who have been isolated from each other? How do we best do this? So that we are working all together as a more dynamic whole? Because the processes of regeneration of rebirthing of healing is becoming paramount as there's a lot that is out of balance and in crises - there is much that needs to be addressed. So what is the journey we need to take to come back into wholeness and that everybody has a role to play in this. And with the experience and the practices that she brings to the conversation - The Land and Sacred Place Caroline is very aware of place and the historical implications of how did that particular area come into being - the terrain, the living matter, the water sources and courses - the Maori tribes or iwi that were present prior to the coming of the white man - the sacredness of life over a very broad context . That there are many areas of land in Auckland that housing and buildings sit on - yet underneath these houses are a hidden creeks where a spring once was. That in today’s urbanised sprawl a little rivulet - or tiny creek, can be a wonderful play area for young children - where the water is clear, healthy and cool. Kids can see their reflection, see the stones or marine flora around it, maybe cockabullies or kura - freshwater crayfish - yet today’s developers will most probably put pipes in this area and pipe all the water away underground and thus the stereotyped boring industrial housing complex - hypnotises us into a thousand high priced houses looking basically the same, on a treeless landscape - scraped of nature - is the NZ culture of homogenous sameness? Auckland Connection -Tamaki Makaurau Coming from a Taranaki farm near Stratford in the rural landscape, that had many different animals - gave her a deeper sense of nature and its richness. That when she arrived in high density housing Auckland gave her cause for reflection. Tamaki Makaurau - Auckland, gave her another understanding of place - of the Maori, the mauri (essence) and going deeper and feeling the grief of the landscape and ecology of what has been lost - in the vast forest of what was once Auckland and the covering up of water courses or arterial waterways by burying them and piping that water to the sea as per the Horotiu stream for example that used to run down the centre of Queen Street in Auckland. That there are springs or puna that are even very close to the PlanetFM radio station that emanates pristine water that bubbles up out of the volcanic rocks and lava - very pure water - and there are around 51 volcanoes that comprise the whole city of Auckland. With numerous cones that we can climb, dotted around the city. Public Domain and Community Involvement Caroline has a feeling for public domain and community projects She has been involved in the Panmure and Glen Innes suburbs of Auckland for the master plan for the town centre - bringing story of people and place, including geological and ecological activity so as to define and development projects. In this process - getting to know each other as humans is so very critical. if we are to develop trust - mana - wairua and mauri - all are integral to deeper connection. Living Earth Papatuanuku. The mentions Te Urewera in Tuhoe country - as a park with human rights - that for the Tuhoe people and the NZ Government acknowledge at some level that ‘the land is a living being.’ Papatuanuku - Mother Earth. Caroline is focused on find a space for people to work out the complexities of the challenges that are facing us - and allow them a way to work themselves out. Regeneration In this regenerative practice it covers working out complexity - that there is a harmonising energy within nature that has the ability to work things out. Caroline says it is in many ways ‘beyond consensus’ - and in ‘trusting the wisdom of life.' It knows how to work complexity out - all we need is the space to take the time to connect - and communicate - share the breath and weave family - and though this sounds philosophical there is a very pragmatic quality to it - see her sculptures along the motorway in Grafton gully in Auckland - where the artwork has an intention to speak to the resonance of that place and its history and respond to that. She says that the art does not need to be a sculpture - that it can be a building as in the Living Whare in Taneatua - In Tuhoe country - it could be a roading project - even a skyscraper - (Listen) That everything we do - needs to become an art form. That the universe is a work of art - that our planet and all its biota and landscapes are an art form - thus the importance for us as humans is to create our homes on our home planet into art forms that embed beauty and geometry as a reflection of the magnificence of creation and of what we can evolve. Something that Caroline says meets all of our needs at once … be it every building built - every community developed can be part of a regeneration into a greater whole. Economic - social, cultural - spiritual and our human developmental journey they can all coalesce together - it is possible. That the universe is a work of art - and our planet and nature is one too The Living Future Institute - https://living-future.org/ The Living Building Challenge - has a ‘check out test’ where if you are an architect and/or builder you have to use only materials that are ecologically sustainable and non polluting? They have a red list of 25 chemicals, that cannot be in any building materials. Firth Concrete in NZ now have a product that is biologically safe and comes up with a big tick.

The amount of homeless in this country is a crisis here in NZ. That there are ways forward on this important issue for people to have a home and be safe and secure Not only warm and dry homes but homes that become temples of belonging - places where we can really belong and be and developed ourselves … We can do many things, we can build good homes, we know how to live on and with the land - grow gardens and quality food - let’s have a conversation about the larger NZ - where we all live. So that we are really regenerating life.

| Dr Mark Orams: Creating an optimistic psychology for today’s overwhelming environmental & life challenges | 16 Aug 2017 | 00:57:55 | |
I have just had Professor Mark Orams' in the station for a very uplifting exchange on the state of NZ’s inshore waters that connect out and around to embrace our whole planet. His own interests focussed on marine recreation and sport - high performance sport, leadership, coaching and outdoor education. A professional sailor who as a youngster was a keen ‘yachtie’ winning both NZ and World titles as well as a crewman on Sir Peter Blake’s round the world winning team - plus been involved in two America’s Cups as well. He calls for collaborative work and for ordinary people at grassroots level to lead from the front. For having a healthy understanding of the vastness of our ocean systems - and having spent a lot of time racing and visiting other countries, recognises that from a planetary perspective - the global marine systems are in increasing trouble and that these challenges must be urgently addressed. Acknowledging that NZ has still got an opportunity to initiate the much needed corrective measures if we are to arrest the decline of fish stocks, ocean pollution, drifting plastics and runoff from the land - among numerous tipping points. Indigenous Connection Mark says it is our engagement with nature that has to be addressed as we pakeha and white races have put distance between us and the natural world - whereas indigenous peoples are affiliated far more closely as they have lived more embedded in the natural process. Pacific Islander and Maori have a natural affinity to the cycles of nature. Especially harvesting food, and survival etc and of their understanding of the seasons and the food planting and gathering. He further reiterates, that for indigenous peoples - that connection goes beyond the basics of knowledge and integrates through into cultural connection as well as spiritual wisdom . Having been around as the human species for about 200,000 years and a great majority of this time - all of us has been deeply connected with nature - we all have been indigenous peoples. That for we in the developed world, especially Australia and NZ it has been a relatively short time - that we have actually lived apart from nature - quite possibly only about 3 or 4 human generations - or from the industrial revolution onwards. What this means is that in our DNA - in our ’substance’ for the greater course of our history we have had that deep connection with nature as part of who we are. Mark then goes on to talk about our immersion into nature and the psychological shift of our perspective as we embed ourselves into the greater awareness of the immensity of its power. Covering also our spiritual well being - and that through recreation, getting away from city and urban life and going bush, to the mountains, on a river or a lake - to sea, that recreation is actually ‘re-creation’ - and the time to restore our energies and well being. Covering working with nature as against it - reading the signs, wind direction, water currents, moon phase and aware of the weather and being able to astutely adapt to harness the natural forces of nature - by bringing about a greater attunement and wellbeing. Where we can not control wind, waves or rain, but we learn how to adapt. Some days - all goes well and the elements are warm and soft whereas some days or nights nature throws the full force of its fury and we have to be very focused and alert - thinking ‘gee - am I going to make it through this?’ He says that the contrasting situations are healthy as they are awe inspiring and re-connecting and they give us a different perspective that we cannot control Mother nature or control everything that happens to us or everything that surrounds us. What this does it forces us to slow down to the pace of nature and he says that this is a very healthy thing. Because most of us today are rushing to everything - to work, home from work, events and other commitments and our days are very, very full - and we control largely what we do - where we go, when we choose to do it - or others control it for us. However, when we are out in the middle of the ocean in a very small boat we cannot determine what happens - and in these situations be it calm or stormy - it can be very primordial - a very basic thing and Mark sees it as a very good thing as it lets us get a true feel of nature - inside. Listen New Zealand Environmental Challenges compared with Overseas. Speaking on the waters surround NZ - they are largely pretty clean especially the further out we go, however closer into the shore we have numerous challenges because 3 or 4 generations ago (40-60 years) the conditions were far better, but NZ’s population has increased with much development around the Auckland coastline. As well as globally the population has now jumped up by an extra 5 billion people/consumers since 1950. This huge spike in population has had a large affect on this country, on the shoreline and coastal waters. However he says we can still engage with the sea today where our health is not put at risk - whereas with so many countries overseas the coastal waters are so polluted that you would never swim - let alone, put your head under the water - worse swallowing a mouthful or having it enter your body by a cut or an abrasion - especially where there are large populations living on the water’s edge, or that their catchment drains into that coastal ecosystem. So there are compromised ecosystems as a result of human activity and our disposal of waste products either deliberately or accidentally that he says is very sobering … so much so that it is always a joy for him to come back to NZ waters and a cleaner marine environment, which he says we cannot take for granted and that we need to be very vigilant about it and that we have to work very hard to maintain. Everything is Connected Everything is connected - what ever we do on the land has an affect on the inshore coastal environment - the same pattern has occurred - for example - car tires and the chemicalised particulates wearing off on to the road - off the tires, as well as the dripping of fluid out of car exhaust pipes onto the road - then it rains and runoff and stormwater enters into the coastal waters - curtailing and degrading the area and forcing away fish and shellfish from rocks and surrounding bays - etc - for example Auckland’s East Coast Bays are virtually devoid of the super abundance of fish life of 80 years ago. Talk to any person of 60-70 years plus of age and they will say that things are know where as good as they once were. There is a lot of wisdom in the Elders and they can tell us how it’s used to be like - so that we have this information that is telling us about this long term slow, chronic degradation - and this is very difficult situation to solve! What We Can Do For answers, there are some worthy innovative NZ’s schemes at present - marine protected areas which are stark contrasts to the degradation that is happening. These are Goat Island at Leigh http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/auckland/places/cape-rodney-okakari-point-marine-reserve-goat-island/ on the East coast - North of Auckland and Tiri Tiri Matangi Island http://www.doc.govt.nz/parks-and-recreation/places-to-go/auckland/places/tiritiri-matangi-scientific-reserve-open-sanctuary/ that have been locked away for a sufficient amount of time and are now thriving - especially as Goat Island was left to its own renewal other than to stop fishing and extractive industries and now it is alive with fish and a huge drawcard for people wanting to see how NZ once was. As for Tiri Tiri Matangi - tree planting has occurred plus the introduction of native bird species and now it is a paradise of greenery and bird song - where once it was barren grassland denuded of trees. So with ‘commitment, will and effort’ - we can bring back nature with some conscious decisions being made to turn things around. NZ has many ‘off shore Arks’ where islands have been set aside to become sanctuaries for endangered native flora and fauna and these are very successful that they are Islands of Hope - John Craig and Neil Mitchell on bringing Tiri Tiri Matangi into being - that bold decision making is needed - like Prof John Moreton and Bill Ballentine did with Goat Island as advocates getting people to think about protecting the marine environment and bringing people with them. Grassroots Action These examples Marc says are really important - because when we act together many superb results can come about. These are empowering stories and that our future can be far better as a result. He says grassroots are the answer - he is a massive fan of the people who work in the ‘not for profit sector’ - people whom have made huge sacrifices of time, energy and money and made enormous sacrifices for causes that they believe in. From large organisations like the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society http://www.forestandbird.org.nz/ to the small ones like the Motutapu Restoration Society http://www.motutapu.org.nz/ or the education group ‘Experiencing Marine Reserves’ http://www.emr.org.nz/ - a small not for profit charitable trust that takes children into marine reserves to show them deeper qualities of nature and what marine protection can do. Volunteers by the Thousands Right across NZ here are hundreds of thousands of NZers who volunteer to make a difference because they believe in it. He says that these dedicated people are just not acknowledged enough which is a great pity - they are the real NZers - the real kiwis doing great things out there - we need to be proud of what they do - they are unsung heroes - never getting national awards or headlines in the media. To Mark they are the real heroes of NZ. He encourages us to take leadership and see what we can do around your particular area and take some people with you and do weeding and clean up beaches, streams etc. Local Communities Working Together Local communities - in nature, with and for nature - establishing win wins - as meeting good people and achieving a satisfactory result, because he says there is a primeval connection that after a full day or a week of working together - we will go home and have the best nights sleep in a long time because we have met and worked alongside people from vasty different walks of life, all with good intentions and especially being team spirited. Good People Committing To Co-operate Mark states that the portrayal of human behaviour and existence that comes through the MSM media is not an accurate portrayal of the great majority of people - the great majority of the humanity whom live in this world and in NZ are good people - they are well intentioned - they care about their families, they care about their neighbours and they care about nature and they care about their country - These people don’t get the headlines! Listen ... There are people everywhere who have decent values and morals and will help you out - who will be friendly, who will greet you - who are people you can trust - this is the essence of being a decent person - it’s important to remember this. Plus, that we hold these values for ourselves as well and take the high road. Values and Principles. He mentions that some of the above principles may have been more prevalent 30 to 60 years ago - but the principles of honesty and integrity and decency and looking after one another are what he feels are at the heart of what is is to be a human - and certainly what it means to be a New Zealander. We talked about Sir Peter Blake and team spirit and what this means. Though a cliche, a champion team - will always beat a team of champions - what is needed is a tight synergistic team. He said Peter intuitively understood a number of things. He could take on a competitive team that could have more resources, perhaps be more talented, be more experienced and beat them because of the power of the team. Where as a member of his team you always felt that you were important - that you mattered - that your opinion could add value. So even if you were sweeping the floors or cleaning the toilet or the person with a brain the size of the planet making computations of fluid dynamics and design of the boat - you were important. That we are all part of a greater whole and that we all depend on this planet that we share. When we pool and pull together collectively - we make a massive difference. Conscious Choices Decision that we take - the products that we buy - the packaging that we use - the cars that we drive - the decisions we make of the companies that we support - or the candidates we vote for. We need to be Aware. In the end Mark says that we have to do the best we can with what God gave us and that this is the mantra that Mark lives by. Listen ... Covering the ‘Overwhelmers’ - Fukushima - radiation in the Pacific ocean - etc - how do we address situations like this? Plus Climate Change. What can I do as one individual to be able to make a difference? Mark says - collectively this is where we make major changes. Saying that we need to take heart with Sweden’s Volvo’s decision to make all electric or hybrid cars in 10 years time. That they don’t make these decisions lightly - that they are ‘reading the tea leaves' - they see that there is a greening of the market place and they are positioning themselves to take advantage as well as lead … Voting Voting with your dollars - not buying from certain corporations who are at variance with your philosophy - thus more people supporting this notion will impel the company to change its outlook - its products range - its way it connects with consumers. But first - before you lead others - lead yourself - walk your talk Mark talked about mental health and that we in NZ have some major challenges around disempowered people - especially male youth in this country of getting to a point of a dark space - that when we do good things for others or nature and give of ourselves - we also reap the rewards of that good act as well - that by giving we have a better sense of our purpose - we have more satisfaction as to who we are as a person that if we like, we really can achieve a greater level of contentment and happiness. He says that ironically that one of the answers to mental health is to dedicate at least some of your time to helping those who are less fortunate and are in such a difficult situation than you are. Being Respectful Without being disrespectful Mark says that a lot of the mental health challenges - are actually quite inward looking and are quite self serving - it’s about me - it’s about awww - I’m in such a difficult situation and my life is terrible and I can’t find a way out - and he is not disrespecting that - but one of the ways forward is to actually start thinking about how we can help others, because there are always people who are in a more difficult life circumstance than us! If we are able to do something that can help them or if we can find a way to reconnect with nature and that we can plant a tree or a series of trees or do something that can allow us - that at the end of the day - we realise that our existence has mattered - that it has made a positive difference. That through us being here - the place is better than it was - these things have an enormous personal benefit for us - listen to the interview for more on this serious subject. Separation from nature - from our society and the community - it leads to material things outside of ourselves that can cause many problems … listen … these are distractions Giving is Important - from Ourselves to the Collective Greater Good. This interview covers communities coming together. Technology as a separator and not necessarily a bringer of people face to face and eyeball to eyeball and closer into hugging distance. Mark talks about Natural Empathy That we have wicked problems - climate change - plastic pollution - declining fisheries - coastal sedimentation and near shore pollutants All these are our collective fault - we are all part of the problem. How can we come together and to do something different - as opposed to making them worse? That we start this philosophical conversation and have the ability to make compromises “I will give you this - if you will give up that.” Mark asks us to find ways to end polarising viewpoints. That as we all share the same planet - let's come together to resolve these issues for the sake of future generations. Dr Mark Orams - most definitely worth listening and taking in. | |||
