There is a revolution in progress and it is not a bloodless revolution. The Gene Technology Bill introduced to Parliament this week includes the following provisions:—

• Mandatory medical activity authorisations: for a human medicine that is or contains gene technology that has been approved by at least two recognised overseas gene technology regulators.

• Emergency authorisations: when there is an actual or imminent threat to the health and safety of people or to the environment, for example, threat from a disease outbreak, or an industrial spillage. The Minister responsible for the Gene Technology Act (the Minister) will have the power to grant an emergency authorisation.

These clauses bypass the medical choice provisions of the NZ Bill of Rights.

They violate the conclusions of Phase 1 of the Royal Commission on the pandemic which found that vaccine mandates hurt people and the economy.

They pre-empt the findings of Phase Two of the Royal Commission which has yet to examine the safety of Covid vaccines produced via gene editing.

It empowers the Minister to make health decisions affecting all Kiwis on the say-so of foreign gene regulators of his choice.

The Bill is being passed under Fast Track legislation designed to prevent public discussion of its controversial provisions and adequate understanding of its impact by MPs. There is no time sensitive need for this.

The Bill ignores the experience and lessons of the last five years of the pandemic which has been a gene technology disaster responsible for 30 million deaths worldwide. Its logic is therefore incomprehensible even to well-informed observers, but it appears to find echoes in a dark history:

“The sun shines” wrote Christopher Isherwood in his 1930s Berlin Stories “and Hitler is the master of this city. The sun shines, and dozens of my friends are in prison, possibly dead.” As are too many of my friends recently, young and old alike.

Following the 1933 Nazi acquisition of power, Germany underwent a rapid and sweeping revolution that reached deep into the fabric of daily life. At the beginning, it occurred quietly and out of sight of most of the population. At its core was ‘enabling’ legislation that empowered the government and its appointees (read: regulators) to take far reaching decisions on behalf of the whole population. Its core aim was Gleichschaltung—coordination—designed to bring citizens, government ministries, universities, cultural and social institutions inline with Hitler’s extreme beliefs and attitudes.

 

Today we are facing efforts aimed at global coordination of technology, including biotechnology, food tech and information technology. The NZ government appears very willing to play a leading role in this revolution, whatever the implications. We have reported on these previously at length (here, here, here and here).

In addition to the prospect of government reimposition of medical mandates, the Bill does not require labelling of gene altered foods. As this flies in the face of all the canons of food safety and traceability established over the last 100 years, the only possible motivations are either a desire to deny consumers any right to preferences, or a wish to avoid any safety monitoring or culpability. Not only will we be unable to exercise medical autonomy, but we will no longer know what we are eating. This is an extraordinary and frightening prospect and not just for those who struggle with allergies. Food choice is not the prerogative of the government or bioscientists no matter how sure of themselves.

Something absolutely fundamental and personal is being taken away from us.

This Bill is being promoted and steered by Judith Collins, with the full support and encouragement of the Prime Minister Chris Luxon and the leader of the ACT Party David Seymour. Collins is a lawyer and long time Parliamentarian, she will fully understand the import of the Bill. As a previous leader of the National Party who lost an election, it is hard to escape the suggestion that Collins may be taking satisfaction from the imposition of her will on those who rejected her leadership. We have all heard stories of waiters who piss in the awkward customer’s beer and laugh behind their backs. I am sorry to draw such a gross comparison, but my sense of outrage demands it.

The Gene Technology Bill seeks to institute a revolution, it spits in the face of the public who suffered during the pandemic and who voted in a new government with the thought that things might change. Instead we appear to have more of the same or worse. The refusal of Health NZ to publish up to date health statistics such as those for cancer incidence, speaks volumes about a government determined to avoid any accountability, even at the expense of public health. For the record, US insurance data reveals that cancer incidence has had a steady and unremitting upward trajectory since the introduction of Covid vaccines. Ignored by our government and worse: covered up.

There is a time for everything and a season for every purpose under Heaven. A time to be born and a time to die, Now is the time to lobby your MP and let them know exactly what you think. Time to make our voice heard. Please write to your MP before the summer break brings consideration to a close and put a note in your diary to follow up afterwards. This fight is winnable.

As a New Zealander, I believe we have been arrogant for a very long time.

We assumed we were safe.

We had nothing to be arrogant about and we were not safe.

Threaded throughout my life has been the idea shared by friends and family, that the lowly masses in impoverished nations are responsible for their own hardships, due in some unexplained way to their own inherent weaknesses.  When you travel to impoverished nations, the higher classes also distinctly hold to this idea, that the poor are inferior.

As a health professional coordinating public health programs, I have walked in the chaotic streets of Phnom Penh and watched the way car owners (the wealthy) behave towards pedestrians (the poor). Hit and runs are very common in Cambodia. The poor die from a massive range of preventable causes, often in pain and/or misery, and often only after their families have been bankrupted on an intergenerational scale by medical costs in a corrupt, ineffective and often harmful health system.

Ghandi said “poverty is the worst form of violence”. When I travelled to poor countries, I instinctively knew this to be true, but I did not understand the mechanism. I observed so much poverty and suffering and could not comprehend the complexities of such an entrenched phenomenon, despite understanding that it was a historical consequence of geopolitical events – mainly war – far beyond any blame of those unable to escape it.

 

In 2017 I was on a motorised canoe on the Mekong River in Eastern Cambodia, delivering rice to a family with vision impairment, when a pregnant woman boarded the canoe from another village, and proceeded to give birth to a baby boy on the boat. She is vision impaired and her son was born with vision impairment of unknown cause. I wondered at the time, if maybe this was the impact of Agent Orange?

 

There are advocacy groups for the American veterans whose children have various disorders relating to secondary exposure to Agent Orange, although the US government are very reluctant, even now, to admit the poisoning that took place.

Families across Eastern Cambodia where Agent Orange was sprayed in the 1960s are largely illiterate and so impoverished that their main focus has to be on working out how to secure the next meal. With no advocacy services, children in those areas, still being born with disorders potentially caused by the toxic exposure, receive no support and suffer in invisible silence.

A very poignant memory I have, from around 2018, is of standing on the muddy shores of the Mekong River with people living in temporary huts made of bits of wood and refuse. We had to stop our conversation and wait as the billionaire Prime Minister’s black helicopter, flanked by two military helicopters, flew directly overhead, chopping waves into the water. The next day local newspapers shared photographs of grateful villagers somewhere upstream posing with the Prime Minister alongside bags of rice he had generously donated. I marvelled at my luck, coming from a nation whose leaders had no such power over us.

My apparent luck ran out two short years later with the aggressive political shift which began with lockdowns in 2020. We now see censorship of dissent against authorities being written into both national laws and global legislation. Deliberate impoverishment, assisted by deliberate health harms which are ignored and denied by culpable authorities, despite the efforts of courageous advocates such as NZDSOS and The Health Forum NZ, is happening to my own people. Documented intentions for digital identity and central bank digital currency, should they succeed, will form the architecture needed to secure impoverishment and control.

One of the key methods for any coup d'état is the corruption of health systems. In 2020 the New Zealand government incentivised our health system to administer harmful products and protocols, removing the once-respected right of medical professionals to work independently following basic ethical principles such as “first do no harm” and informed consent. My experience within corrupted systems overseas informs me very clearly how this will affect our nation’s health outcomes.

My newfound awareness that the security New Zealanders are accustomed to, of relative wealth and freedom, can be so easily ripped away led me to research why and how our political system became so undemocratic and destructive. Here is a small glimpse of what I have learned so far.

Globally, there is a billionaire class of people who – because it is an inherent tendency – believe that their privilege makes them superior to the rest of us. Rather than using their wealth and power to benefit humanity, they use it to consolidate their power.

 

Lockdown policies were advanced by spokespeople for the billionaire class, whose wealth increased by $3.78 trillion in 2020. This was a direct plundering from the working and middle classes and has been described as “the most infallible wealth concentration scheme in history”. Global legislation is being implemented to guarantee the success of plans to do it all again.

What happened to the world’s poorest nations – by violence and propaganda – is now happening to the world’s wealthiest nations – via medical harm and propaganda.

Thomas Malthus was an English economist, academic and fellow of the Royal Society. He published an essay in 1798 claiming that the sustainability of the world’s resources is completely dependent upon population control. Known today as Malthusian theory, this ideology is followed by many in the billionaire class, who consider that their rights over global resources must be maintained by preventing over-population and ensuring the lowly masses are controlled.

Malthusian ideology ignores the infinite possibilities for knowledge growth and problem solving. There is also no credible evidence that overpopulation is occurring, or that it is the cause of poverty, which is in fact the result of wealth concentration into the hands of a minority. Learn more from former investment banker and Danish politician, Mads Palsvig on How to End Poverty.

 

Many of the world’s richest and most powerful are Malthusian zealots, who happen to be the same people using virtuous-sounding causes such as “health” and “climate change” to convince the masses to comply with the decimation of their human rights and freedoms. They speak, albeit largely in secret, of the need to curb the global population. Hiding their agenda in plain sight, they belong to semi-secret societies such as:

• Committee of 300,

• Club of Rome,

• Council on Foreign Relations,

• Trilateral Commission,

• Bilderberg,

• Royal Institute of International Affairs (also known as Chatham House),

• World Economic Forum and other self-proclaimed “think tanks”.

One name which reappears throughout these various societies is that of Henry Kissinger, who they laud as a leading diplomat and international relations intellectual. In fact, the eight years he spent as National Security Advisor and Secretary of State in Washington DC left a trail of mass suffering and death, including the 1969 secret and prolonged aerial bombing campaign in Cambodia.  This led to the success of the genocidal Pol Pot regime, and the death of at least 2 million Cambodians between 1974 and 1979. The nation continues to suffer today because of these violent events.

Kissinger is linked to New Zealand via his role as co-founder of the World Economic Forum, and the key role he played in the Young Global Leaders Program, which former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern joined in 2014. Other Young Global Leaders, listed at the Malone Institute WEF Project, are:

 

Ardern now plays a pivotal role in establishing censorship across the free world, as outlined in this recent article and confirmed by Ardern herself at the United Nations in September 2022.  She has a fellowship at Harvard University, working to address “social media’s most urgent problems, including misinformation, privacy breaches, harassment, and content governance.”

Once poverty and authoritarian control are established, it is almost impossible to salvage appropriated human rights. Those involved therefore need you to remain in ignorant bliss and convinced of their false virtue.

Become informed. watch

Inform others, including political representatives at local, regional and national level, many of whom are likely helping to implement plans without adequate awareness. There are so many new ideas taking hold internationally, for example this initiative is developing plans and strategies for Taking Control of Local Councils/Government.

Refuse to comply with digital identity, central bank digital currency, and health and behaviour orders which make no sense.

As Michael Gray Griffith of Cafe Locked Out says, “Fear Is The Virus, Courage Is The Cure”.

[MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH] At any point now, you are in the army, an army of light that is rising around the world.

It started with the doctors, Dr (Peter) McCullough, all the big ones.

And then they came out and did announcements and then the major bloggers spread that and then various bloggers working their way down spread that.

And then it came down to just grandmothers and lorry drivers sharing it on Telegram and doing this and then refusing to not use cash or using cash, going to little meetings, learning common law.

Every single one of those people is in an army of light.

And we've got a thing in Australia called the 12 apostles, but there's only three of them left.

And they're monoliths that have been chipped, not destroyed by one tsunami or one earthquake, but by lots of little waves.

Little waves hitting it all the time.

And that's how they've brought down these monoliths.

That's what's happening around the world.

There is the army has no generals, no visions, hardly any organization.

It's just this humanity rising like a tsunami wanting freedom coming back the other way.

And so everyone's in the army of light.

And so you could say to those people, you don't know what to do.

You're doing it.

You're already in the army.

Just by standing up, you're in the army and every little bit you help helps us move forward.

And even if we won't reach the promised land or this great freedom thing, the fact that you are helping this army head in the right direction means you'll fall like a beacon of light.

So other people will go, I'm picking up the mantle. I'm going to keep going.

It's a worthy thing to be.

And I think we're all united by this want to save humanity.

That's our core drive.

[JIM FERGUSON] Practical steps as well, because what we're encouraging people to do is to link into local food producers, bypass the supermarkets - they're the ones that are making all the money. It's not the farmers… link up with local people.

So these are practical steps, practical solutions, and getting to know local food producers and farmers is so important, especially when we see the advent of digital ID, central bank, digital currencies, and other methods of control coming now.

We have to build that network, those local hubs.

And we are certainly very, very keen to see people following those networks themselves in their own territories.

[MICHAEL GRAY GRIFFITH] Yeah, and we got a saying over here for our mob.

We call it, and we, it came from a speech we did during the trying to kill the bill in Melbourne called fear is the virus, courage is the cure.

And that still stands.

 

Since the beginning of the ‘Covid Era’, the New Zealand public, many of whom were awake to the attack on our freedom and rights that lay at the heart of Jacinda Ardern’s ‘Covid Response’, have shouted from the rooftops for the New Zealand version of the Pfizer contract to be released.

Those shouts have consistently been met with silence.

This Pfizer contract, had it been released to the public, would have cleared away all of the speculation about what was signed on behalf of the People of New Zealand, by the tyrannical government of Ardern, Grant Roberston, Chris Hipkins and others in the corrupt Labour regime.

Sadly, many of us realised this crucial contract would not be easily forthcoming via the Official Information Act (OIA) process. However the pathway that leads to Judicial Review involves following the protocols of the Official Information Act 1982.

The Albanian Pfizer contract was leaked, the Canadian Pfizer contract released (albeit heavily redacted) via the court process, and the South African contract was released also through the judicial system. Read the un-redacted South African contract here.

 

A discussion about the process of the release in South Africa is useful for a full understanding.

Comparing the released Pfizer contracts above, we now know that they are very similar in content, apart from the monetary values for each. To describe the content as shocking, is to understate the raw truth. They all involve signing away the country’s sovereignty. In addition, Pfizer is given zero liability for any harms from this experimental product.

In getting the New Zealand Pfizer contract released, we will be asking whether Labour has signed away New Zealand’s sovereignty and whether Ardern has also given Pfizer an indemnity from being held liable for injury or death of New Zealanders caused by their experimental product.

Given the obvious risk to the public of those countries from the Pfizer contract, it becomes patently clear that every New Zealander should demand to see the contents of our Pfizer contract. There is no doubt that the devil is in the detail.

Erika Whittome reached out for help from New Zealanders who were willing to support her in getting this issue into court. Like her, I felt this was potentially the only way that the Pfizer contract would be released to the People of New Zealand.

In saying that, neither of us expected the court to allow this to be a walk in the park. Over the last Covid years, many New Zealanders have become concerned at evidence of corruptions within our judicial system, wherein laws which are supposed to protect the People, are instead being used against us, in what has come to be known as ‘Lawfare’. We have more than a few barriers to overcome. We will continue, undeterred, the push to get this over the judicial line.

However, we need the help of as many New Zealanders as possible, to counter the claim that the court has made, in rejecting our application to file the necessary documents. And what is their reason? The Court maintains that this application for release of the New Zealand Pfizer contract, holds ‘No Public Interest’!

We beg to differ in the strongest of terms.

With enough New Zealanders getting behind this, we trust that Justice will prevail in the end.

We are doing our part with long hours of hard work, and now we ask you to play your part.

It’s therefore useful that I briefly summarise the process thus far with seeking release of the Pfizer contract here in New Zealand.

 

Our Most Recent Action:

Auckland High Court [2024] NZHC 1840, 8 July 2024: The release of the Covid-19 contract between Pfizer and the NZ Government was declined for a second timeby Justice Whata.

Plaintiffs:​

1/ Erika Whittome

​​2/ John Armstrong

​​3/ Chris McCashin

Respondents:

1/ The Minister of Health

​​2/ The Ombudsman

​​3/ The Minister of Finance

​​4/ The Minister for Covid-19 Response

Background:

1/ ​4 April 2024: First application filed at High Court seeking judicial review: Release the Pfizer contract.

2/ ​15 April 2024: First filing, declined fee waiver by Deputy Registrar, David Slight, who asserts that this “(did) not meet the criteria for determining when a proceeding concerns a matter of genuine public interest”.

3/ ​14 May 2024: Filing second application at High Court – Auckland, reference: CIV2024-404-845, Application for Judicial Review: Release the Pfizer contract.

4/ ​8 July 2024: Second filing, judgement by Justice Whata: [2024] NZHC 1840, because “(this) case does not determine genuine public interest and thus no question of law”.

​Read the Judgement by Justice Whata, 8 July 2024.

Mr. Justice Whata neither acknowledged nor rebutted the case law which we cited at item 17 of our Application, when the Trade Minister was challenged to reveal the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) in 2015, the case of Kelsey v Minister of Trade [2015] NZHC 2497 concluded:

“The Crown has entered into an international confidentiality agreement with other negotiating state parties. This cannot override the domestic legal effect of the (Official Information) Act (1982)”.

This decision led to the public release of the TPPA.

In the case of the New Zealand Pfizer contract, a crucial question is left unanswered: Why was a key point about this case law neither acknowledged nor rebutted? Further, what differentiates our case for the Pfizer contract, where many New Zealanders wish to know its contents, from the same situation in Kelsey v Minister of Trade, where many New Zealanders wanted to understand the far-reaching effects of the TPPA?

Mr Justice Whata claimed that there was no public interest in the release of the Pfizer contract. With respect, that claim is absurd. We have evidence that the Ombudsman received so many public complaints about the lack of transparency around the signing of the Pfizer contract, that they were required to publish a notice on their website, which you can see here: https://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/resources/chief-ombudsmans-opinion-oia-complaints-about-refusal-covid-19-vaccine-contracts

How Can You Help With This Impasse?

We obviously need to show the court that there is vast public interest in the release of the Pfizer contract.

The easiest and most transparent way of achieving this, is through an Official Information Act (OIA) request on the FYI website. Therefore I ask you, to help us, and to get others to help us, by:

Step 1:

• Register at: https://fyi.org.nz/

Step 2:

• Make a request through FYI.org.nz, in an OIA request, ask the Ministry of Health for the un-redacted Pfizer Contract.

Step 3:

• Once your OIA has been submitted, please urgently email the link to me at this address: [email protected]. It will then be collated, along with all the other requests, to file for a Third time at the court, to give them proof that there is a substantive public interest in releasing the Pfizer contract.

Footnote: The OIA is the crucial part from all of you. However, if you are able to assist with step 4 (below) then it will help us with the cost of filing and being able to take on more OIA’s on behalf of the public of New Zealand.

Step 4:

• The third filing is going to cost us $550, and it would be of great assistance to our ability to pay the required fees if you could afford to donate towards this cost.

• We are talking 5-6 minutes of your time in completing the OIA, plus a donation and you will OWN a share of this historic filing.

• John has provided the following account details for donation towards the filing cost:

  Name: G B ARMSTRONG

  Account: 38-9017-0772606-01

  Bank: Kiwibank

Two useful references & resources:

1/ Summary statement of the New Zealand COVID-19 vaccine procurement process and contracts with suppliers. Publication date: 18 September 2023.

2/ A Request that the Finance Minister give an indemnity to Pfizer.

You, the People of New Zealand, have the power to influence the release of this thus-far-withheld Pfizer contract.

With enough uptake from every one of you in this call to action, the New Zealand judicial system will be forced to acknowledge that there is indeed a great Public Interest. We trust that the court will then act in response to the will of the People who are seeking a fair and equitable outcome.

Let’s bring this contract out into the open – together!

Standing in Truth,

• John Armstrong
