There Must Be Unity Among All Who Love This Land
It is increasingly apparent that, like many governments around the world, our government is not acting in the best interest of its people. Its behaviour is only understandable when we really grasp that our government is a corporation whose interests have long diverged, regardless of political party, from those of the living people and the land upon which we live.
Our government exists through the deception of ‘bespoke legislation’ that gives sheep’s clothing to the wolf. It is designed to induce trust and complacency in the masses with the intention of their perpetual enslavement, loss of liberty, and theft of their property and resources.
As a result of complacency and distraction (through sport, celebrity nonsense, ‘entertainment’ and the promotion of racial disharmony) we are facing a government that has seemingly declared war upon us. They no longer try to cloak the now obvious intent to destroy our land, our health, our resources, our environment, and our economy for the sake of globalist corporations that are paying them to do so. The living persons here occupying this land (as opposed to the non-living persons also known as Corporations; think of the word corpse) are all that is standing in the way of their end game.
The Big Bad Wolf Wants Our Goldilocks Island
New Zealand is a resource-rich country with the capacity to generate its own energy and grow food year round. It is surrounded by a very large moat and sufficient industry and technology to inspire any globalist corporation to want to possess it. An overt ‘taking’ of our nation would be politically problematic however. (I think they tried in the past but, seeing the Wellington protests, they ‘settled’ for the small Hawaiian island of Maui in the recent past, where Lahaina was mysteriously and selectively razed to the ground). Therefore the ongoing strategy has been to usurp the governance of our nation, through stealth.
It is clear that almost since Te Tiriti o Waitangi was signed, our government has been divesting itself from common law, the rules and principles of Equity, and individual rights. Despite many opportunities since 1990 our government has failed to codify our New Zealand Bill of Rights or provide an actual Constitution. Instead, it has placed itself under Admiralty Law. New Zealand lawyers are not taught about actual Equity in law school. The meaning of equity has been conflated and lost as a foundational principle of law and people assume it means ‘woke’.
A Sorry History of Deception and Betrayal
Since at least 1986, the Constitution ‘Act’ removed our access to the Privy Council and the protections of the King of England as promised in Te Tiriti o Waitangi 1840 and He Whākaputanga 1835. It essentially replaced our constitutional monarchy with a unicameral parliamentary ‘sovereignty’, standing in unlawful regency. For this reason, though it is the basis for all law, and part of our nation’s foundational covenant with Queen Victoria, in Te Tiriti o Waitangi, our existing government fails to acknowledge the rules and principles of Equity and feigns to have no knowledge of ‘common law’ (aka ‘the law of the land’).
This has left us open to the corporate manipulations of our ministers of parliament that we entrusted to look after our interests. Parliament now claims the right to do as it pleases and the executive and judicial branches of our government are seemingly powerless to provide any checks or balances for this unbridled power. How could this be legal or lawful? Simple: it just isn’t.
For decades, Parliament hovered in the background of our lives, most of our lives were good, and few of us realised, until the Covid 19 response, that we were frogs being slowly boiled with their gradual usurpations. When David Parker, MP for Dunedin, introduced the Covid 19 response legislation and signed it into law, as Attorney General, on the same day in 2020, without opportunity for public comment; and PM Jacinda Ardern proceeded to lock down the country; a few of us frogs felt the burn and tried to jump out of the pot. We recalled the axiom that ‘first in time is best in law’. We recognised that our freedom and bodily sovereignty (and that of all New Zealanders) were being challenged, like most of us had never seen before.
The NZDSOS Contribution to History’s Recurring Fights for Freedom
In the spring of 2021, we dissenting and disobedient doctors and dentists (NZDSOS) began forming relationships with several common law groups and Māori who identified as being part of the Hereditary Chiefs and sacred Confederation of United Tribes, which had formed the covenant with King William IV in 1835, known as He Whākaputanga (New Zealand’s Declaration of Independence). This remains unextinguished law and established sovereignty of Māori over the land and also established in article IV: a flag (the flag of the English navy), the right to conduct trade, and a fiduciary responsibility for European settlers and military protection provided by the King of England. The covenant established the King of England as trustee (to protect their infant state) and Māori as the trust beneficiaries.
When the vaccine mandates were announced, these sovereign Māori groups were very much opposed to them. Having had 10-20 hours per week in discussions with various hapū for the months before the mandates were announced, Dr Jacques Imbeau and Dr Anna Goodwin were approached to start a separate health care authority that did not require its health care practitioners or patients to be jabbed. The Wakaminenga Health Council (WHC) was constituted 28 October 2021, under He Whākaputanga and Native Customary law, as a response to what many viewed as unlawful vaccine mandates by the NZ government (‘Crown’).
Over 100 health practitioners joined the WHC within the first 3 months. They had separate registration and a nuanced and substantial code of ethics which forbade coercion of medical care, preserved physical autonomy, and assured proper informed consent. Practitioners were required to inform patients of their separate jurisdiction under Ture Tikanga, Native Customary law, and He Whākaputanga.
Multiple hapū from Northland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Wellington, Auckland, and Hawke’s Bay endorsed the idea of a separate health care authority and some formed their own separate authorities rather than come under one umbrella which was their prerogative. The NZ ‘Crown’ corporate government, apparently worried that a separate health jurisdiction might undermine their lucrative vaccine contracts with Pfizer, immediately began attacking the reputation and registration of some WHC practitioners and launched cyber attacks on our website.
Recognising that the corporate NZ government failed to follow the international law of He Whākaputanga 1835, the WHC administration sought advice from what we understood to be the Nga Tikanga Māori Law Society established by Lord Joseph Mapiria Hohepa. In collaboration with hapu, the WHC was established as a tōpū whenua trust for Māori community services in accordance with Te Ture Whenua Māori Land Act 1993. WHC administrators attended a 3 day meeting on a Northland marae to obtain the endorsement of the assembled rangatira in Northland for the WHC.
Our Little David of a Health Council Upsets the Goliath Government
Seeing the momentum in the tiny protest jurisdiction, formed by hundreds of people of conscience, the corporate NZ government filed an injunction in the NZ High Court against the WHC, its administrators, and a leader of an independent hapū who called herself the “Māori government”. Although the WHC jurisdiction included fewer than 200 practitioners, and its purse only included their registration fees, the Director General of Health, ironically, used the full prosecutorial weight and funds of the NZ Ministry of Health (MoH) in its claim under the “Fair Trading Act 1986” to imply that our little protest organisation (in a separate Ture Tikanga jurisdiction) was somehow a threat to them, but offered no substantive claim of harm.
The ‘Crown’ corporate government had, by then, caused catastrophic reputational and economic harm to the WHC and its members by publication of disparaging content in its state-controlled newspapers and media outlets (which were given hundreds of millions $NZD by Minister Faafoi just before his retirement). The WHC filed a timely Notice of Estoppel with the High Court seeking damages from the Ministry of Health for its itemised harms. An estoppel is an instrument of equity. An injunction is also an instrument of equity meant to enjoin a party from doing harm.
Neither the Director General of Health nor the prosecutor for the Ministry of Health were able to articulate the harm that they had incurred from the WHC. Despite the absence of articulable harm to justify an injunction, Justice Peters granted the MoH a preliminary injunction.
Unlike many examples of NZ legislation, the Fair Trading Act 1986 included no reference to the Hereditary Chiefs and the Confederation of United Tribes, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, or even “Māori”. He Whākaputanga 1835, under which WHC was established, stated plainly that we were not subject to laws that were not consented by the Hereditary Chiefs and Confederation of United Tribes which were granted their own separate trading jurisdiction by King William IV.
In accordance with High Court Rule 5.21, the WHC requested the particulars of the agreement between the Hereditary Chiefs and United Tribes and the Crown Corporate government to establish a binding contract under the Fair Trading Act 1986. The Crown Corporation was unable to produce the particulars or any consent by the Hereditary Chiefs and Confederation of United Tribes.
The WHC also filed a 5.49 notice challenging the jurisdiction of the claim since prior High Court judges had previously declined to involve themselves with matters pertaining to Ture Tikanga (deferring them to either Pa Kooti, Maori Land Court, or Waitangi Tribunal). Sequential High Court judges ignored our submissions from May-September 2022. The MoH also argued that a French Canadian and an American could not claim standing under Ture Tikanga despite our hapū affiliations and Māori Community services.
The Labour government meanwhile announced an initial $22 million investment in the formation of a “Māori Health Authority”. The timing suggested an intention to induce Māori to “stay in the fold”, vote Labour, and to undermine the WHC. The Supreme Court ruled on the Ellis case which determined that mana and tikanga apply also to non Māori in NZ law in a very reasoned opinion from Justice Glazebrook.
The Director General of Health and the MoH prosecutor then filed for a summary judgement (to formalise the injunction) which was scheduled on Halloween 2022 with Justice Brewer. A summary judgement requires attendance of all parties in open court.
To his credit, Justice Brewer declined to rule on the injunction on the day and required the Crown prosecutors to synthesise an interpretation of the Ellis case related to the WHC and its administrators. Parties were required to approach the Māori Health Authority regarding the prospect of collaboration with the WHC. Of course there was no desire for collaboration because the Māori Health Authority funding came from the Crown corporation which was prosecuting the WHC. The WHC then had to return to the High Court for another go at a ruling on the permanent injunction early in 2023.
It’s Who You Know, Not What…
David Gary Johnstone J had been appointed by David Parker on the 22 February 2023, just before the 7th hearing on the matter of the injunction. As a direct appointee of David Parker, Attorney General and sponsor of the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act 2020, Judge Johnstone’s ruling in favor of the permanent injunction against the WHC should not have surprised anyone. It was seemingly “fait accompli” before the hearing.
The WHC had stopped registering practitioners long before the ruling. Administrators were seeing the ‘writing on the wall’ from judicial corruption and perpetual deference to parliament. The mandates had gone by the wayside after the Wellington protests (06 February-2 March 2022) of which NZDSOS was an integral part. The perceived need for the WHC receded somewhat, and Māori communities were afforded greater autonomy through the new corporate funding stream.
Some hapū were concerned that association with the WHC could jeopardise their funding from the corporate government and so the support from all but the most stalwart sovereign Māori began to wane. I get that. My view is that the injunction, and probably most of the government’s actions the last 5 years and beyond, have been unlawful.
Indeed, the NZ legal system seems designed to protect a flawed status quo by ignoring the elephant in the room…and by inverting the proper and lawful order: Divine Law > Equity Law > Common Law > Acts and Statutes of Parliament > Regulations.
Adrift In a Sea of Sharks
It appears that sadly the country called New Zealand does not have a proper foundation. It is lacking in the fundamental requirement that is a real constitution. Of course there is the Te Tiriti o Waitangi – it is the only real foundational document accepted by both Māori and non Māori but the issue with the translation from English to Te Reo is an ongoing cause of debate with the latest attempt by David Seymour to re-interpret it while conveniently ignoring the principle of contra-proferentem which, in international law, states that in any disagreement on interpretation of such a treaty, the non-drafting party has precedence. i.e Māori.
Māori say they never ceded their sovereignty while the ‘Crown Corporation’ says the reverse and has used force, intimidation, corruption and other means to enforce their position. It seems that situation began soon after the Te Tiriti o Waitangi was signed which seems to support the fact that both parties to the treaty had and still have a very different understanding of its meaning. He Whākaputanga could be a good basis for a real constitution but that does not suit the NZ Corporation at all since it would mean the end of its existence.
So, clearly, the will of a very few is threatening the welfare of the vast majority and anyone who believes we were ever a democracy should wake up and smell the GMO coffee.
Staying Upright, Looking Forward
In 30+ years of medical practice, I have never been more proud of my colleagues who stood up to the tyranny of the mandates and lockdowns despite oppression and persecution that continues to this day (at taxpayer expense) despite any perceived ‘threat’ from them being long past. It would seem that this persecution continues due to the government’s future plans to wage biological warfare on its citizens if it is able to pass the Gene Technology Bill (constructed by United Nations and proposing NZ as a ‘beta testing’ site, basically at the whim of ministers).
The greatest tragedies of the ‘Covid error’ were the loss of people from side effects of a jab that they never needed, followed by the loss of some of New Zealand’s ‘best and brightest’ professionals who refused to comply with government tyranny. The fact that our corporate government has not restored these people and compensated them for the distress caused suggests intentional malevolence.
The best thing to come from several years of cultivating like-minded relationships in the Māori community was the development of a template for all of humanity to be included in a hapū protected by international law for we are all children of God. We are all beneficiaries of the trust established by God as settlor, as out lined in the Bible. More to come!
Gene Tampering Bill as The Spear Following the Covid Jab’s Tip
As the latest example of over reach by the NZ Corporation, the Gene Technology Bill seeks to gut all prior NZ legislation that has curtailed hazardous substances and new organisms, protected our resources, protected our health, individual rights, food, water, or our environment. They have omitted the ‘Kuala Lumpur’ protocol embedded in the Cartagena Accord for redress and liability and, in effect, absolved themselves from all liability for any bad outcomes.
Enforcement officers can invade homes and marae, but we cannot call authorities to any of their commercial bioweapon enterprises. If we don’t do as they say and accept any medical treatment with new genetic technology we can be penalised with a $200K fine and 5 years in prison or a fine of $1 million.
It is not an understatement to say that the Gene Technology Bill is absolutely an existential threat to the people of New Zealand, the land, and all of the native flora and fauna. It is nothing short of an act of war by globalist corporations (through the UN and WHO, Blackrock, Vanguard, etc) pulling the strings of our government. Our ministers are either being paid off or extorted to act for corporate interests, but they are clearly against us.
It is no accident that Covid jab cheerleader David Seymour (ACT) just tried to do away with Te Tiriti o Waitangi prior to the introduction of the Gene Technology Bill. The experience with the WHC has shown me that the corporate government and its ministers are afraid of Māori Sovereignty which is based upon these unextinguished international laws. If they are afraid of He Whākaputanga, Te Tiriti, and Te Ture Whenua, I want to keep them all.
One Nation, Indivisible by Gene Tampering
The corporate government is deeply afraid of Māori not only actually uniting amongst themselves (forgiving utu, etc) but also uniting with Pakeha, and why not all ethnic groups now comprising New Zealand, come to that? The corporate cabal has always succeeded in ‘divide and conquer’ by making disparate groups repugnant to each other. They have pitted different tribes against each other and bribed leaders, for generations, to work with them even against their own people and the land they claim to hold sacred. It must stop.
This is our place and we cannot let them destroy it or destroy us. This is a call to action, to link arms in love for the land and for our fellow New Zealanders, and stop this government from going forward with the Gene Technology Bill as a first step.
The time to act is short (February 17, 2025) and I hope this reaches all people who love this land, and we can set aside any of our differences. Some say it will take a miracle for Māori to move beyond their own utu and work together or trust ‘colonists’. I think they are wrong. However, I still believe in miracles.
