For a few months now, we have been writing about record high all cause death rates. We are not alone; highly vaccinated countries around the world are having the same problem. So why is no one taking any notice?

Lives have become a little cheap. Apparently, no more so than in the minds of some of our journalists. Lynley Ward is the news director of the NZ Herald. Last night the Herald published her assessment of elevated all-cause mortality so far in 2022 under the title “Covid-19 Omicron outbreak: Infection deaths behind New Zealand’s record 2022 mortality rate“. Yes, she is right. Infection deaths are behind New Zealand’s record 2022 mortality—a long way behind. The unhappy matter of at least 2000 extra deaths in 2022 unrelated to Covid doesn’t seem to bother her. It bothers me.

The article discusses a lot of data but manages to hide the obvious—deaths are up all round and it’s not due solely to Covid. We are told that the elderly are dying, that Maori and Pasifika are dying too young, and that deaths are affecting all age groups. Sadly these stats have always been true. What is actually worrying about the 2022 figures?:—Many more people are dying among every ethnic group and every age bracket, too many to dismiss as inconsequential or blame on Covid

The Casual Treatment of High Death Rates is a Phenomenon of the Pandemic

Two days ago I wrote to the Chief Commissioner of Police Andrew Coster asking him to investigate record excess deaths. I received a very prompt reply yesterday from his Principal Advisor:

“Police will not be investigating these matters, other than performing our duties under the Coroners Act 2006, as there is no evidence that would indicate that an offence has been committed by any party…..It is the role of the Coroner to establish cause of death and determine whether the public interest would be served by a death being investigated by Police or other authority.”

So in the eyes of the police, the Coroner’s office is the responsible party. I wrote back to Commissioner Coster’s PA reiterating my concerns and expressing disappointment. In essence, my reply pointed out:

“The tools used to investigate multiple deaths have to go beyond those employed in individual cases and may require the services of a number of parties….There is a presumption of vaccination safety and government departmental competence, but this is not justified given the present death rates….I remain committed to a discussion of the issue with the Commissioner.”

So what does this mean? Multiple deaths from a single cause is not actually that rare a circumstance. Anyone familiar with true crime TV will be aware of cases where suddenly the penny drops and the police realise that a number of deaths occurred in such a similar manner that they are forced to the conclusion that a serial killer is on the loose. The coroner is not usually the one noticing this; it is an alert detective.

Can the Coroner Help the Police Out Here?

I also sent my letter to the Chief Coroner. The Coronial Services website (last updated on 11th October 2022) lists Judge Deborah Marshall as Chief Coroner, so I addressed my letter accordingly. But, and it is a big but, Judge Deborah Marshall announced her resignation in July 2021, 16 months ago. Unaccountably the government has not yet appointed any replacement, despite record deaths and record delays in the completion of coronial verdicts. The implication is that the government really doesn’t care about what is causing deaths. They are happy to let it be known via the media that “it must be Covid, what else?”.

The situation is dire. It currently takes an average of more than two years to complete a coroner’s report and four years to hold an inquest. In 2012 there were 330 inquests held. In 2020 there were just 24. The number of unresolved coronial enquiries in 2021 ran into hundreds. I can imagine that the backlog in 2022 would be in the thousands if it wasn’t for the fact that the government now has a blanket excuse for all deaths—it’s Covid. And incredibly they have not appointed a chief coroner and they have introduced legislation to allow coroners to record a verdict of ‘cause unknown’!!!

Coroners do not in fact usually have medical expertise, they are lawyers. So they are singularly ill-equipped to judge what is causing excess all-cause deaths in highly vaccinated countries, including our own, during the pandemic. They have to rely on the advice of the Ministry of Health.

It may not have escaped your notice that as Ministry of Health officials and medical professionals are the ones actually authorising and administering novel biotechnology mRNA vaccines, they might be reluctant to admit under oath to a coroner that there is rapidly increasing published evidence that Covid vaccines are causing a lot of adverse effects—this is by now indisputable. If they did, they would be implicating themselves in a crime. Instead, as they say in America, they are taking the fifth.

The Ministry of Health is Not Releasing Summary Data About Deaths

How many are being admitted to hospital or dying of cancer, heart disease, strokes, neurological conditions etc. compared to prior years? Without this data, even the best of Andrew Coster’s detectives would be hard pressed to start an investigation. The Ministry of Health is taking the fifth. They are releasing data and reports like this one, but it does not contain the key data needed to discover why so many people are dying (see my letter to Commissioner Coster for a summary of what data is being withheld by the Ministry of Health).

So we have what I call a three cornered hat. The Police, Coronial Services, and the Ministry of Health are all passing the buck and, happily for them, the buck stops at Covid. All three are concerned about single deaths, but 2000+ deaths can be safely ignored. No one is to blame, we can all go home and forget all about our neighbours and family members dying prematurely. I suppose that is what former Chief Coroner Judge Deborah Marshall decided to do.

The level of unconcern is stunning. In fact, our government reminds me of someone who has prematurely aged and needs to retire soon. While other players in government employment are simply happy that they don’t have to do anything out of their comfort zone. It is damning. As a nation, we need to wake up. We are stakeholders, not passive bystanders. Our duty is to keep the government honest and insist that government departments function as they should in a liberal democracy—with diligence, alertness, and responsibility.

Sadiq Khan is the long term Mayor of London. Three weeks ago, he attended the C40 summit, a global conference of mayors in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He answered a journalist’s question with the following pearl of wisdom. According to Khan, there are three classes of people. Khan is a life long Labour Party member, but he was not referring to upper, middle, and working classes. No.

Khan explained that the first class was composed of individuals like himself who quickly realised that biotechnology was the best thing since white bread (and presumably very profitable too, to the right class of people). This first class, according to Khan, rushed out to get Covid vaccinated right away in a surge of altruistic fervor.

The second class was, according to Khan, essentially ignorant and didn’t know what to think. Apparently, these folks can be easily led and therefore were an ideal target for government control and propaganda. Sort of biddable mayor-fodder I suppose.

The third class was truly evil and of course unvaccinated. They are of such a delusional nature that they are unreachable and therefore not worth bothering much about (except possibly to make sure they will never be allowed to work again).

Sadiq finished with a flourish saying

“In my new role as Vice Chair on the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group (C40) Steering Committee, I will ensure that London is a beacon to the world and helps to generate the opportunities that will accelerate the pace of change to create better cities for all.”

Well done Sadiq, you marshall those second and third class folks into line.

You may not have been following Cop27, in which case you might have missed a photograph of Rishi Sunak, Justin Trudeau, and, you guessed it, Klaus Schwab smiling for the world, wearing near identical flowery patterned shirts. So what do these chummy mates really believe in?

I suppose that most of the people at Cop27 are drawn from the upper reaches of the first class, and therefore must have travelled to Sharm el-Sheikh first class. But no, 400 participants arrived in private jets, thereby showcasing their upper first class credentials.

One of the great concerns of first class fliers is the number of cows who are irresponsibly pushing out methane. New Zealand to the rescue. An article “New Zealand targets cow burps to help reduce global warming” shows just how much can be achieved with antipodean ingenuity, a can-do attitude, and a large dash of biotechnology experimentation. Just about nothing it seems.

The New Zealand government has made a solemn promise that it will stop cows from burping.

This is apparently the subject of a huge scientific endeavour to cut ruminant methane production. New Zealand scientists are coming up with some surprising solutions that ‘could’ put a big dent in those anticlimactic emissions. According to the article, among the more promising are genetically modified feed, methane inhibitors, cow face masks, and a potential game-changer —lo and behold a vaccine. Hold your horses, or is it cows, none of these have so far been shown to work, so the government is actually going to start off by taxing farmers—the mainstay of our economy. We are planning to shoot ourselves in the hoof.

According to a scientist who has been working at Gumboot central research facility in Hamilton for 15 years (without so far succeeding), a vaccine would stimulate an animal’s immune system to produce antibodies, which would then dampen the output of the methane-producing microbes. One big upside of a vaccine is that it would likely only need to be administered once a year. Sound familiar?

At one greenhouse at the Gumboot campus, scientists are developing genetically modified clovers. Visitors (and presumably cows) must wear booties and medical scrubs to prevent any genetic escape. Did anyone tell them about the Wuhan Institute of Virology?

New Zealand farmers are not waiting around for all the research to come to fruition. On the Kaiwaiwai Dairies farm near the town of Featherston, a humble kiwi farmer Aidan Bichan said they’ve been reducing their methane output by getting more efficient, including increasing the milk production from each cow, using less processed feed, and replacing milking cows less frequently. Unlike the highly paid biotechnologists at Gumboot central they are actually getting results, but they are getting taxed for it. Doesn’t big government just get you all excited?

I suppose that years ago on the Serengeti plains, the North American prairies, the South American Pampas, and the waddies of Asia there were billions of animals on the hoof and the climate was all under control, but now the sheep and cows have gotten out of hand. You can even see herds of these irritating beings from the plastic windows of private jets, despicable.

Circling around the fringes of Cop27 (possibly in his private jet) is Bill Gates. I am not sure what comprises his breakfast menu, but I have a fair idea of what he wishes mine should become. Like much at Cop27 it should be synthetic. In other words, made up by someone who owns a portfolio of global patents, but not an ounce of humanity or a sprinkling of scientific caution. Gates is an investor either personally or through Breakthrough Energy Ventures in several of the companies he mentions in his latest book, “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” including Beyond Meats, Carbon Engineering, Impossible Foods, Memphis Meats, and Pivot Bio. Yummy.

Seriously though, the science of the evils of cows is actually not that sound or holistic. See this article in Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews “Livestock, methane, and climate change: The politics of global assessments”. Cows might not be such a bad thing after all. On the other hand, the climate credentials of private jets are well known. They are not pretty. I can recognise the rank hypocrisy, even though I am a member of the third class.

Open Letter To The Commissioner of NZ Police and The Chief Coroner
Investigation into Record Levels of Excess All-Cause Deaths is Required

To:  NZ Police Commissioner Andrew Coster
Acting Chief Coroner Anna Tutton

I very much appreciate your role to protect the public and inform the bereaved in the context of our system of criminal and civil justice. Your role must have been especially taxing during the pandemic, since many of the issues involve specialised knowledge of novel biomedical interventions. You have no doubt been guided by qualified experts.

I am a person with experience in the analysis of social indicators, including crime, health, quality of life, and economic indicators, using time series analysis and panel regression analysis. I was formerly a senior manager at Genetic ID, a global food safety testing and certification company (now known as FoodChain ID). Our company used methodologies from the cutting edge of biotechnology research.

It appears from the most recent record of adverse effects of mRNA vaccination reported to CARM and tabulated by Medsafe that 177 people have died proximate to vaccination. A much larger number (64,041) of non-fatal adverse effects have been reported. Medsafe reports (Table 8) that in general the recorded number of deaths has been lower than the expected number deaths in the monitoring period. No doubt you have felt reassured by this analysis.

At the end of 2021, the number of recorded deaths stood at 133. Therefore there have been 44 deaths proximate to vaccination recorded during the first eight months of 2022. There have been suggestions that these mortality figures are grossly underreported to CARM. Most notably NZDSOS and others have curated reports suggesting that the total number of deaths proximate to vaccination is at least as high as 500. Even this higher figure does not include unexplained deaths occurring at longer time intervals following vaccination.

In July of this year, NZ excess all-cause deaths rose to record levels. The last week of the month was 26% above historical levels. So far in 2022 the number of NZ excess all-cause deaths exceeds the historical trends by over 2,800 for the first nine months of the year. In turn, this far exceeds the estimated number of deaths related to Covid. There is a similar picture in the UK where more detailed figures are available from ONS and ZOE. In addition to excess deaths, UK data shows an alarming rise in long term chronic illness sufficient to incapacitate individuals for work. According to ONS data this is not related to incidence of long Covid. So what is causing these unprecedented high death rates?

These figures point to a need for careful investigation of the circumstances. There is a suspicion that mRNA vaccination may be one of a number of contributing causes. There are robust procedures which could be easily applied to settle the question. Unaccountably they are not being used.

There should be a requirement to enter full Covid vaccination status on death certificates including dates of inoculation. Without this information it is not possible for any analyst to reliably determine all the contributing causes of death. This information can and should be retrieved retrospectively, analysed, and recorded in future.

A number of procedural errors have distorted assessments made by Medsafe and pathologists. These include:

1. Reporting of injury and death to CARM proximate to vaccination is not mandatory. Therefore Covid mRNA adverse events are being grossly underestimated. Medsafe itself has estimated that reports to CARM may make up only 5% of the total number of adverse events. As a result, Medsafe comparisons of rates of mRNA vaccine injury and death to historical background rates for similar conditions can be highly misleading.

2. There has been a failure to take account of the distinct nature of mRNA vaccinations. mRNA technology is based on methods developed via gene therapy experimentation. They differ from traditional vaccines in their biomolecular operation and outcomes. Despite this, there has been an a priori assumption that a number of serious conditions, which can be fatal, can be reasonably excluded from serious epidemiological and pathological investigation. These include, but are not limited to cancers, strokes, cardiac events, neurological events, and sudden death. Some conditions have been discounted as possible vaccination outcomes because there is little history of their occurrence with traditional vaccines. However there are good reasons and experimental results, reported in the literature, to suppose that these can be caused by mRNA genetic interventions.

3. There has been an assumption that a valid procedure to investigate causal factors associated with Covid vaccination should be the designation of a short effect window of time following inoculation. Any adverse events occurring outside the expected time period proximate to vaccination are assumed to be unrelated. This method incorrectly assumes that there is little likelihood of long term effects of mRNA vaccination. It appears that this is an assumption which biases assessment. Cancers for example do not necessarily develop rapidly. The final outcomes of cardiac impairment may take 3-5 years to develop. It is this bias which has led to a presumption that mRNA vaccination is not related to the current record levels of excess deaths. This presumption is unfounded in the science of medical causality and therefore in error.

4. Crucially there is a growing realisation that the possibility of VDED—Vaccine Dependent Enhanced Disease should be taken seriously. In particular there is a great deal of published evidence showing rapid drop off in vaccine efficacy, tending within 3 months to enter negative territory. In other words, greater susceptibility to Covid infection. This can be associated with reduced immune function which can increase susceptibility to a wide range of other disease types.

My concern about the limited investigative methods being adopted by Medsafe and others can be reinforced by listening to vaccinologist Dr. Helen Petousis-Harris, director of the Global Vaccine Data Network (GVDN) speaking to health professionals in August 2021 about the measures that GVDN were proposing to take in order to assess vaccine safety. It is notable that GVDN have been granted exclusive access to NZ health data. Sound research protocols include provisions which ensure that researchers do not have conflicts of interests. Therefore it is of the essence that a GVDN newsletter suggests that their main mission is to reduce vaccine hesitancy. This aim is incompatible with the need for an unbiased role in the assessment of causality.

Why is this such an important issue for the police and coroners?

We are talking here about an ongoing issue of public health, safety, and accountability. It is proposed that mRNA vaccination will become a routine part of NZ healthcare, but the rate of vaccination among the general NZ population has fallen from around 85% for the first dose to 53% for the booster this is indicative of widespread public concern about safety and efficacy. Therefore it is essential that key questions about safety and causality are settled only after thorough investigation.

The importance of this is further illustrated by the prevalence of sudden death events. There is a growing tendency for health journalists to designate Sudden Adult Death Syndrome (SADS) as a class of illness that offers some explanatory value as far as cause of death is concerned (see What is SADS? Healthy young people dying from Sudden Adult Death Syndrome).

In fact SADS is an umbrella term used to cover deaths for which there is no explanation. It should not be the case that SADS is considered a sufficient recorded cause of death.

Simple statistical and experimental methods can and should be used to assess causality. These include:

Prospective studies. Wide ranging investigations of this type should have been undertaken from the outset, but a presumption of limited outcomes and need for testing ensured that early trials were flawed. This has since been rectified. A study of 300 students in Thailand for example has found that the incidence of cardiac irregularities following mRNA vaccination is far higher than previously suspected. 29% percent of participants had detectable adverse cardiac effects. Myocarditis has been sometimes been dismissed in NZ as a self-limiting condition, it may in fact have serious sequelae in a significant number of cases. We have to assess this accurately.

Timeline adjusted cohort studies. If the vaccination status of people at time of death were available, it would be easy to analyse mortality data and compare the health timeline pre and post vaccination to detect if there is any statistical difference between them.

Hospital data. Our hospitals and specialists are currently overwhelmed with highcase loads. It is important to analyse up to date hospital admission rates across the whole range of disease categories in order to detect any abnormalities. Figures from overseas suggest these may be found for incidence or recurrence of cancer, stroke, and cardiac events for example.

Mortality among the young. Have mortality and hospital admissions increased among younger age groups? If so, has this affected vaccinated more than unvaccinated individuals? This data would be easy to collect. It has happened overseas as indicated by insurance data for example.

Uncertainty about the safety of mRNA vaccination has sharply divided opinion. This is not healthy for society. Debate is always healthy. Statistically and experimentally sound research will go a long way to resolving the situation. For this to be successful, access to data has to be granted to a wider range of researchers. The difficulty of doing definitive research without access is amply demonstrated by this linked article. The mathematician estimates the relative mortality to be 40% higher among the vaccinated, but does so with many caveats related to incomplete access to information.

As scientists, we cannot accept opinions that rely on expectations and previous experience alone or on faulty research protocols. It is crucial to employ sound statistical science. Even pathology and autopsy on their own can be misleading as to cause of death when dealing with biotech interventions which are known to cause complex disease etiology that is opaque to routine tests. From available data it appears highly likely that novel biotechnology has been introduced that has significant adverse effects whose ultimate impact on health and longevity has not been properly measured.

I believe that greater involvement and scrutiny initiated by the police and coronial officers can have the effect of broadening the scope of investigation into high mortality. This should involve more appropriate statistical methodologies, tabulation of vaccination status and hospitalisation data as above, and consultation with qualified researchers who have demonstrable independence outside of the strongly pro-mRNA vaccination safety paradigm.

I also note the politicisation of the issues surrounding the Covid response. This has happened in almost all countries around the world. Political reputations are at stake. We should however be very sure to set aside these political issues. I myself have written to government ministers on occasions concerning the issues above and have not received satisfactory replies, rather proforma protestations of safety. Based on published journal research papers, I know these replies to be unreliable. Medical ethics and health system safety are at stake. These cannot be bypassed. Since high mRNA vaccination compliance is a government expectation, any errors or omissions can lead to unaddressed serious long term health consequences among the general population.

I note that there is no longer a case for any procrastination, lives are at stake, thousands of lives, as the 2022 mortality figures suggest. Provision 165 of the Crimes Act 1961 Causing death that might have been prevented by resorting to proper means is relevant here. If insufficient steps have been taken by the relevant authorities to ascertain the causes of record elevated levels of mortality, it cannot be determined if proper means of prevention have been adopted. Such ascertainment is a technical scientific undertaking. At the present time, the government appears to be relying on advice that is insufficiently grounded in accepted science and probably based on an in-built expectation among medical professionals that any intervention carrying the name ‘vaccination’ will be safe even if it is entirely novel, as mRNA vaccines are. This supposition is not supported by evidence. This should lead to prompt action by your relevant departments and officers to rectify the situation.

I am happy to meet and discuss these issues with yourself, your representatives, and advisors.

Yours sincerely

Guy Hatchard PhD

Two days ago I wrote that last year’s government Covid advice about disinformation, when read today in the light of recently published science, was itself disinformation. That night I watched Web of Chaos, an hour-long TVNZ government-funded documentary compiled with the help of main players from our very own Disinformation Project.

Web of Chaos is deeply anti-intellectual, anti-religious, against medical choice, and politically biased. Is this just a lone wolf director giving us his opinion? No. It is funded propaganda. As such, it is part of a wide-ranging on-going government campaign to control the New Zealand public narrative.

The Unvaccinated Arming Themselves for Violent Revolution

Watching Web of Chaos, many of you hopefully would have been concerned; however, some might have felt entertained or imagined themselves better informed. Unfortunately, most people would have been left believing that the unvaccinated were in the process of arming themselves for violent revolution. None of this is true. The documentary used violent imagery to suggest associations that don’t exist and thereby sought to manipulate public opinion and sell Ardern’s internet censorship agenda to the public.

This was journalism turned upside down by government money—a hallmark of repressive regimes. The programme openly sought to redesign key elements of the historic cultural and intellectual fabric of our nation. Let’s deconstruct what was said and try to understand the motivations:

The program appeared to start on safe ground by pointing out that social media giants host some violent content and use algorithms to keep their audience glued to their screens. Enter Kate Hannah, director of the government-funded Disinformation Project. Kate has an MA in American literary culture, from where she has segued into the cultural history of science. She introduced herself over images of violence and fascist marches, saying:

“I am particularly interested in the ways science in the 20th and 21st centuries have replicated or increased disunity, racism, and misogyny and I am really interested in the larger stories of disinformation”

Unfortunately, despite appearing at key moments throughout the programme, Hannah didn’t discuss any actual content of modern science that might support her argument. Instead, she moved quickly onto foreign government propaganda, speaking over pictures of soldiers marching in Red Square, Putin attending a Russian orthodox religious service, followed by images from the Brexit referendum and the Trump campaign. So no science there. We were left with the vague impression that Hannah might not like science, but wasn’t going to tell us why.

Enter Marc Daalder, American born senior political reporter with Newsroom, a self-styled expert on violent extremism. Through imagery and clips, he linked those concerned about Covid vaccination safety with ISIS propaganda. Why and how?—Because, of course, they are both using the Telegram communication platform. He described Telegram users as detached from reality.

Immediately Byron Clark, bearded conspiracy researcher, talks over images connected with the horrific Christchurch mosque massacre. The sequence thereby visually links concern over Covid vaccine safety with violent extremism of the most extreme kind. A wholly unjustified connection with no supporting evidence. A deliberate audience manipulation.

Enter Professor Lisa Ellis, the American born Director of the Philosophy, Politics, and Economics programme at the University of Otago, who now investigates the conditions of possible human coordination in challenging contexts (???). She talks over the top of historical images of the Nazi state and recent protest actions around the world. She accuses Donald Trump and Steve Bannon of debasing New Zealand politics, and then speaks over images of the Wellington Covid protest:

“When I moved to New Zealand from Texas the social egalitarianism was just amazing. What we do notice is that it has declined. The very wealthiest gained enormously during the pandemic while the rest of us suffered. It is a really dangerous trend.”

Of course, we are concerned about exploitation, but the visual implication is obvious: it is the unvaccinated who have stolen our wealth. This is implied regardless, of the fact that it is the unvaccinated who have lost their jobs and homes through coercive government mandates. Marc Daalder chimes in to tell us that the movement (presumably the pictured Wellington protest) is being taken over by white supremacists with pre-existing agendas—no evidence is offered.

Then the screw is turned. Over images of people practicing Yoga, children rolling pastry, picking fruit in the sunshine, growing vegetables, knitting at home, kneading bread, or obviously pregnant, Kate Hannah tells us that people are being drawn into the ‘darkness’ from lots of different places—does this make any kind of scientific or rational sense?

Kate Hannah has some pretty strange ideas; she reveals the real culprits are ‘Trad Wives’—white Christian, pseudo-Celtic adherents. They, she says, use Pinterest and Instagram to recruit other women through interest in knitting, children’s clothing, and healthy food. She tells us it is easy (???) to understand that this is a short cut to white nationalism, whilst talking over images of children running in a meadow, a playful kitten, and braided hair.

Hannah warns us to step back and then switches to the dangers of hyper masculinity (over an image of armed and masked ISIS terrorists and a hapless Kiwi farmer saying it is important to look after women) and contrasts this with the virtues of femininity (presumably not of the Celtic kind) and flexible gender roles. She ends this segment with a warning about becoming too attached to the right of free speech, which she says is a US concept.

Enter David Farrier, journalist and filmmaker, he joins Hannah in blaming the internet, America, and Trump for New Zealand’s ills. Crucially, he identifies the world’s No. 1 conspiracy as the suggestion that Covid vaccination will depopulate the planet. In other words, the Covid vaccine is obviously safe and anyone who asks a question about safety is on par with US QAnon deep state conspiracists. He warns us about people with evangelical Christian backgrounds who, in his opinion, are being primed to become QAnon supporters. He speaks over images of the Ku Klux Klan, tank battles, and yes, the Wellington Covid protest.

Daalder returns to tell us that the problem with the Wellington protestors is not that they are wrong (in other words, he knows they were right), but they were too concerned about assigning blame.

This brings us to the central problem with the whole narrative of this video. It is now clear from published scientific papers that the mRNA Covid vaccine is neither safe nor effective and the covid virus did escape from a lab funded by the US government, so the protestors were right all along. It’s undeniable, but somehow the producers of this show still want to shoot the messenger.

Accordingly, Daalder concedes that the vaccine might be causing children harm and then draws a parallel between the Wellington protestors and the small number of Germany’s people who rightfully protested against Nazism. But, he concludes, the Wellington protest was a step too far and very dangerous because there might have been one genuine terrorist lurking in their midst. Can you believe this tripe?

Enter Dr. Sanjana Hattotuwa, a Sri Lankan expert on disinformation, now a resident of New Zealand, talking over images of serial killers with whom he says we are now all connected through social media. He labels ‘internet scrolling’ the algorithmic amplification of psychosis. He moans that his work involves looking at 5,000 Telegram posts every day. Apparently, it is a gut-wrenching journey. He doesn’t actually explain who he is working for, but he says he does have access to some powerful algorithms which do a lot of his work for him.

Hattotuwa informs us that a lot of people dislike Ardern intensely and even express extremely violent emotions toward her. IMO he is right to be concerned about this, but he and I both know that whilst the trolling environment is verbally toxic, it is rarely violent in practice. According to Hattotuwa, people hate Ardern in a very Christian way. He tells us that about 350,000 people in New Zealand are involved. This is about the fourth reference to the perils of Christianity, and by this time I am getting the picture. Christianity is out and reverence for Ardern should be in.

Hannah and Hatottuwa both explain that they go through daily purification rituals. Hattotuwa says he needs to take two showers a day, (and one of them is a very long one). Hannah is shown washing her hands over and over again in a sort of ritualistic way in a strange basin. The implication is obvious, people who question vaccine safety are dirty. You need to cleanse yourself if you come into contact with them. Hattotuwa and Hannah both admit to needing counselling and describe their work as lonely.

Now the show’s contributors build to a climax and begin to outline their own very own grand conspiracy theory to an image of a gathering tornado. New Zealand is apparently a target destination where internet puppet masters come to trial their manipulative methods. Little New Zealand is described as a hackable, highly transparent, small social democracy that conspirators such as Steve Bannon are seeking to upset.

Dramatic switch to war footage from Ukraine—the visual message is clear, New Zealand is next in line. Hattotuwa announces he is bringing down the big curtain (or is it up?). Behind the concern about vaccine safety is a global disinformation network led by various figures, including Vladimir Putin, certain states (said over pictures of the Chinese military and Middle Eastern capitals), religious leaders (said over a picture of a buddhist priest followed by the interior of a Christian church), Robert Kennedy Jnr., industrialists and business leaders. So just about everyone is involved in this conspiracy. Remind me again to ask: who does Hattotuwa actually work for?

Professor Ellis concludes that TRUST with a capital T is the foundation of everything good and right that we can experience together; without it, we are done for. The message is loud and clear: trust your government; that is what makes us human beings. Otherwise, society will break down in a cascade of evil—(said over images of ram raiders, presumably unvaccinated; how did they know?). You have to contribute to the public good (translation—get the mRNA vaccine).

Cut to Andrew Cowie, netsafe educator, talking about deep fake videos which promote disinformation all around us. Very soon, he says we won’t know what reality is, and it is already happening. The implication again is clear, internet narratives questioning vaccine safety are fake, they are deceiving us.

The answer, according to the video, is the global regulation of the internet via government-controlled censorship of private mega corporations like Meta. The video concludes by praising young people. According to the video, they are very intelligent, discriminating, and keen en-mass for governments to decide what they are allowed to look at on the internet. A sort of visionary benevolent globally-coordinated civil-service control of the internet. Amen.

Whew!!! I get that the internet harbours a lot of violent and manipulative content. I get that a lot of commercial interests and governments from around the world are trying to manipulate public opinion, but are the unvaccinated, Christians, yoga enthusiasts, knitters, and young mothers all violent terrorists rushing to the barricades? No, not in a million years. And who would trust our civil service to sort this out? Not me. Not the young either.

So where are we? Universities around the world are still gaily doing gain of function research to create deadly mutant Covid strains in leaky labs. All cause mortality has reached all time highs around the world (and it’s not due to Covid). And the government-funded Web of Chaos is urging us to just TRUST and especially don’t do any of your own research. I don’t buy it. Nor should you.

I expect all political parties left, right, centre, green, and Maori to condemn this manipulative documentary, it is part of an effort to restrict and control the press, and deny public access to information relevant to public health and government probity.

Keeping silent on such a vitally important issue would amount to complicity and fuel efforts to undermine public accountability.

Justice Minister Kiri Allan has announced that she will introduce new legislation before the next election to target hate speech.

Read about the announcement here: Kiri Allan targets hate speech, suppression as she settles into justice portfolio.

Allan was very tight-lipped on the proposed content of the new law, but she did let slip that the law will specifically target social media content. Similar moves are already afoot in the USA.

Exactly What Does the Labour Government Mean by ‘Hate Speech’?

Speaking at the UN, Ardern rated the regulation of speech as more important than the right of free speech. According to Ardern, hate speech encompasses the promotion of undefined extremism, disinformation, ideas that the powers that be find threatening, and terrorism. This is a very broad definition.

Most might agree about terrorism and violent extremism, but how will Allan define them, and how much else is she seeking to censor? How far is Labour prepared to go to promote their views? Speaking at the UN Ardern said:

“How do you ensure the human rights of others are upheld, when they are subjected to hateful and dangerous rhetoric and ideology?”

Given that political talk about proposed hate speech legislation has rumbled on during the last two years of the pandemic, what do Ardern’s government think constitutes harmful rhetoric, ideology and disinformation on social media? Short answer could be: ‘whatever the government says’. There is a very broad brush being applied.

When It Comes to Covid, Yesterday’s Information is Very Much Today’s Disinformation

In February, government sponsored research body Te Punaha Matatini designated a range of Covid-19 topics as conspiracies. These included:

• Herd immunity,
• Close comparisons between flu and Covid-19 fatality rates,
• Severe adverse effects of Covid-19 vaccination,
• Benefits of vitamins for Covid-19 treatment,
• High prevalence of asymptomatic infection,
• Overestimates of deaths because many people are dying ‘with’ the virus not ‘because’ of it
• Bioengineered lab-leak origin of Covid-19
• Involvement of foreign powers in its development

Crucially all of these topics have since proved to be within the range of scientific investigation and verification. They are not conspiracies as government scientists previously insisted; they have been found to occur. The government has used its existing powers to suppress discussion of these scientific concepts. It also pushed social media companies like YouTube and Meta to delete such material.

Incredibly, rather than admitting error, the government is now seeking more powers to suppress more ideas. This amounts to nothing less than social engineering and the repression of political dissent.

Nor has the government retracted its universal safe and effective narrative that it repeated and advertised to the point of brainwashing. Covid mRNA vaccination was neither.

Despite Recent Published Evidence Pointing to Safety Concerns, Do Politicians and Mainstream Media Still Hold Outdated Views?

Unfortunately, it appears the answer is ‘yes.’

If you think the National Party will pull the plug on vaccine mandates and Covid policies if they are elected next year, think again. Unless there is an effort to update themselves, they might be tempted to outdo Labour in forcing compliance. Todd Muller MP, former National Party leader, for example, has a woefully out-of-date Covid blog still up on his personal page written by Nanotechnologist Dr. Michelle Dickinson brimming full of since-disproved and hence misleading assurances of safety.

Among these:

• the vaccine is not experimental,
• the vaccine is not genetically engineered,
• long term safety is assured,
• the unvaccinated are overwhelmingly responsible for spreading Covid,
• the vaccine does not reduce fertility or affect pregnancy,
• the vaccinated are 96% less likely to be hospitalised with Covid,
• mRNA vaccination cannot alter your DNA.

Whew!! All of these blanket assurances and many other points Dickinson makes have since been debunked by more recently completed studies. Dickinson comes across as a pro-biotech vaccine advocate prepared to ignore medical ethics. Covid vaccine research is a moving target, not a static fact.

If you think the National Party will pull the plug on vaccine mandates and Covid policies if they are elected next year, think again!

New Zealand conspiracy theory expert Dylan Reeve talking to ex-cabinet minister and National Party member Paula Bennett on iHeart radio on October 30, 2022, repeatedly equated discussion of Covid vaccine safety with mad ideas such as ‘men never landed on the moon’ and ‘9/11 was a plot of the US government’. None of the Covid topics listed above that Te Punaha Matatini designated as conspiracy theories can be reasonably equated with such flat earth theories, but Reeve and Bennett repeatedly drew parallels.

Neither discussed the substantive scientific arguments, apparently assuming that the use of natural health products and doubts about Covid vaccine safety were obviously unfounded beliefs rather than matters of fact that could be discussed rationally. Bennett, possibly more so than Reeve, suggested that it was best to avoid such discussions—the same social exclusion route that has been encouraged by the government and fundamentally a ‘head in the sand’ attitude to the evolution of scientific understanding.

The Very Word Conspiracy is Being Misused to Imply Ignorance

To prove criminal conspiracy in a US court, you do not have to prove that people acted together consciously, merely that they acted in such a way as to unfairly promote their mutual interest. In that sense, when there are very large financial gains enjoyed by multiple people and corporations, earned through shared products and procedures, which have adversely affected public health, it is quite legitimate to suggest there has been a criminal conspiracy.

Paula Bennett was concerned about the possible effects of internet content on teens. I am too, especially government Covid fear-mongering and mRNA vaccine promotion. Haven’t the Ministry of Health learnt that the young are at a lower risk from Covid than they are from mRNA vaccine-induced myocarditis. This is not a conspiracy theory but a matter of careful published research.

New Zealand is not alone in the world. There is a growing sense that a lot of extreme and fanciful nonsense is being spoken by leading politicians around the world without basis in fact. Mark Steyn on GB News can’t get his head around it. He comments we are living in very weird times, made even weirder by the failure of MSM to countenance the misapprehensions and misrepresentations involved.

Politicians Are Apparently Unable to Change Gear

They have become stuck with early pandemic assessments, which were largely sourced from Pharmaceutical interests based on heavily redacted mRNA vaccine trial results where key harms had been carefully hidden from scrutiny. Times have changed. Court orders have led to the public release of revealing material.

In 2022, there is certainly enough evidence of accumulating harm to suggest a need for extreme caution. Write to your MP and ask that mRNA vaccination programmes be suspended pending independent, up-to-date safety assessments. This especially affects our children’s future.

In 1923 three of America’s largest corporations formed a company to add tetraethyl lead to petrol. They omitted to mention it included lead and simply called their additive ‘ethyl’.

Almost immediately, production workers began to exhibit the discoordination and confusion that mark those severely poisoned by lead. Bill Bryson records that almost immediately, the Ethyl Corporation embarked on a global policy of calm but unyielding denial that would serve it well for decades.

In 2020 the world’s largest pharmaceutical corporations introduced biotech experimental injections derived from risky gene therapy research, they called them ‘vaccines’ because vaccines are universally recognised as safe and effective. Their products were neither. Even early recipients had high rates of injury, death, and pregnancy complications. Simultaneously, the manufacturing corporations obfuscated and hid this data and launched a global campaign of public relations and political lobbying on a scale never before seen in the field of public health.

If you think this is a conspiracy theory, think again. Time you looked at our Ministry of Health statistics with an open mind.

The latest MoH data on Covid deaths shows that 53% of the New Zealand population are boosted but account for 71% of Covid deaths, whereas 16% are unvaccinated and account for just 12% of deaths.

Still births per 1,000 in 2021 are up 10% compared to pre-pandemic rates and our birth rate per 1,000 population is down 10%.

Our hospitals and emergency services are still overwhelmed and no one knows quite why. Overseas rates of cancer, cardiac events, and respiratory conditions are up where data is published, but the New Zealand figures are not being made available. Why?

All cause mortality has reached record levels in 2022, at one point 26% above historical levels. The number of excess all-cause deaths greatly exceeds the number attributed to Covid.

Dr Helen Petousis-Harris, New Zealand’s leading vaccinologist, in an interview on 11th October with Radio New Zealand said:

“I wouldn’t be running out to get myself boosted. I don’t think it would be particularly useful. I don’t see any evidence to suggest it is going to benefit me.”

And yet MPs are sitting and considering a Bill to allow coroners to avoid recording a cause of death, while MoH is gearing up to regularise mRNA vaccination. In other words, parliament feels that less investigation is called for, not more. Why?

You are possibly also unaware that the origins of the Covid virus are increasingly well understood. A published scientific study has uncovered multiple microbiological signatures of synthetic genetic splicing in the Covid viral DNA, while even heavily pro-vaccine publications like Propublica have located a smoking gun in Chinese documents. Covid-19 came from a lab accident in Wuhan.

I needn’t remind you that the lab leak origin of Covid was labelled a conspiracy theory last year by Te Punaha Matatini. Nor that government with cross party support has poured millions into saturation advertising and MSM coverage telling the public that mRNA technology is safe and effective. It isn’t.

Little has been said recently about the Ardern doctrine that the government should be ‘our one source of truth’. The folly and naivete of this pronouncement from the lectern is now obvious. Science is a process that cannot be rushed to conclusions, it can only be based on evidence. We should not have insisted that the whole population be coerced to participate in experimental biotech interventions.

The purchase agreement we signed with Pfizer included the rider that the government acknowledges that the long term outcome of mRNA vaccination is unknown. The implications of this never filtered down into our pandemic policy. The government chose to endorse safety without evidence. The long term health outcomes of mRNA vaccination and pandemic policy remain unknown.

Repeated representations to government to include vaccination status on death certificates have been ignored. Without this, meaningful research into the effect of pandemic policies is impossible. The implication of a cover up is hard to avoid.

The absence of meaningful public debate, the suppression of a free press, the cancellation of dissenting expert opinion, and the politicisation of science are all hallmarks of a repressive state overreaching itself. It does no credit to New Zealand and endangers the future of our civil society. Time to wake up.
