Single acts of tyranny may be ascribed to the opinion of a day, but a series of oppressions, begun at a distinguished period, unalterable through every change of ministers, too plainly prove a deliberate, systematic plan of reducing us to slavery.

A Reply to Chris Bishop – National’s Campaign Chairman


Dear Chris

I was just about to press delete on your bulk email of last week, as the Campaign Chairman for National in the upcoming elections, but I couldn’t go past it without making a few comments that will hopefully be of help. Your mailout was about five things New Zealanders may have missed last week and is apparently our chance “. . . to hear directly from us about what National has done each week to fix the basics and build the future and to read some of the progress we’re making in many areas on your behalf.”  Disappointingly, I was unable to see what National had done to “fix the basics and build the future” or to read of any progress “on my behalf.” (Readers can see your mailout below my reply.)

The email you sent will be unhelpful to National because it is not in touch with what really concerns New Zealanders. Your five points (see below) don’t mention any pulling back on an abhorrent government overreach over the tenure of this government, and also the last one. Over the past six years in particular, there has been an aggressive attempt to destroy our health, our food sources, our natural environment, while endeavouring to curtail our freedoms by herding us towards a 24/7 surveillance state that makes the book, 1984 by George Orwell, look pale in comparison.

National, and all political parties in parliament, have lost the trust of the majority of the people. You are all out of touch with what New Zealanders really want.

Here are a few reasons why you have lost that trust:

1. None of you are representing New Zealanders. You are, in one way or another, taking hard-earned money in escalating taxes from New Zealanders to do the bidding of, and represent, unelected technocrats, global despots and their organisations, rather than New Zealanders. Isn’t that known as fraudulent?

2. At this stage National and all MPs should be asking: New Zealanders: What do you need? What is most important to you? They are key questions. A political party genuinely representing New Zealanders would then deliver on the answers received by consensus of the people, rather than plough ahead and tell us what you have decided to do, regardless of what the people want, for that would be a dictatorship.

3. In the past, many New Zealanders tended to vote National for their support of farmers and small to medium businesses; for encouragement of independence and self-reliance; for lower taxes, and keeping limits on immigration so it’s not over-balanced. Also for minimal government interference in our lives, and honouring our Rights, as listed in the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act, not least of which is the right to decline a medical treatment, as well as having freedom of movement, freedom of speech and “liberty of the person” – which means not to be arbitrarily arrested or detained.

4. Most New Zealanders have zero trust of politicians as they are aware that these days it doesn’t matter who they vote for, they get the same globalist agenda dressed up in different words. The idea that anything changes according to what political party is in power, is increasingly seen as the illusion it is. One side will push one part of the globalist agenda (Labour, the Greens, and the Maori Party), with more crippling taxes, (even on tax-paid investments), and more gene tech jabs that maim and kill, while National and ACT, and to some extent NZF, will push for some of that too, as well as other parts of the globalist agenda. You share some globalist agenda policies, as we have seen with all political parties still permitting a dangerous gene-tech jab to be administered, despite proof it can harm and kill, while also pushing for even more killer gene-tech medicines now, and in the future, under the heading of “Medical Activity” as written in the Gene Tech Bill.

5. All of you, on both sides of the House, also seem concerted in your efforts to crowd New Zealanders into a digital prison and hook everyone up to a global A.I. controlled by global despots through a one-world government. NZ is apparently a pilot for part of this, as arranged under the Labour government and progressed under the National government through the Digital ID Bill.

6. National, and all political parties in power over the last six years, have betrayed New Zealanders, particularly in regard to the New Zealand Bill of Rights. As mentioned, the other Parties are just as bad, especially Labour, the Greens and the Maori Party of the previous parliament. New Zealand First sings a song many want to hear but let’s see if they walk the talk by kicking that death-causing Gene-tech Bill for touch in its entirety without any fancy footwork.

7. Taxes are appallingly high, inflation is through the roof, and the health of New Zealanders has never been worse. Ambulance sirens go off several times a day in tiny suburbs and still National, ACT and NZF (and all other political parties) have not stopped the shocking “covid” gene-tech jab being administered, despite the appalling harm and death it has caused and is still causing. Yes, there is a Royal Commission of Inquiry 2 (RCI 2) that was instigated by NZ First, but if an experimental substance has been proven to maim and kill, as this has, surely it is imperative to halt that product now.  And then there is the government-run ACC who, despite declining most claims for injuries and death from the jab — the same jab that MPs were exempted from — has, to date, paid out over 16 million dollars in claims for harm. ACC staff, as I understand it, were also exempt as were over 11,000 health workers and thousands in the education sector. It isn’t safe and effective, it is unsafe and dangerous. The Labour government knew that in 2021 but Kiwis were lied to and mandated to take it. National was silent, as were the others, and it is STILL being given? Not many have much faith in the RCI 2, either — not after seeing the grilling that the heroic medical practitioners from NZDSOS and other Freedom groups, including Reality Check Radio and The Health Forum, received, despite their professional presentations with hundreds of pages of irrefutable evidence, compared to the soft-ball approach given to government and pharma-connected submitters, and while key politicians (of the last government) and bureaucrats responsible for pushing and mandating it, were permitted to decline to show up. In some parts, it looked like the truth was on trial. But, time will tell and miracles may happen. In past times, dangerous drugs were immediately taken off the market if they maimed or killed. It makes parliament — all sides of the House — look extremely dodgy for continuing to allow this bioweapon to be administered. Particularly when, as mentioned, so many in government positions were exempted. Including politicians. What a betrayal.

8. National (and other Parties too) are trashing the New Zealand Bill of Rights. This is another case of betrayal after trust — treasonous. Isn’t that breaking the law?

9. Police are let loose on law-abiding New Zealanders these days, even when they are driving safely. No government has ANY right to detain New Zealanders if they are not causing harm to others, but recently, under National and government MPs, the police can try to enforce New Zealanders to LICK a test, containing unknown substances, the contents of which are apparently to remain secret. (Just like the covid jab — the contents remain secret.) So, with this test it is, apparently, guilty until proven innocent. If a person refuses the test they are charged $400 and receive an inordinate amount of de-merit points. For doing nothing wrong. Isn’t that harassment, one of the key hallmarks of a police state? National’s Attorney General apparently even commented that it was against the NZ Bill of Rights Act. So, in this environment, New Zealanders can be law-abiding, yet be randomly stopped and pressured to have a medical test with secret ingredients while doing nothing wrong, yet the government is breaking the law by allowing this, as it violates the New Zealand Bill of Rights?

10. Under the last government, police were responsible for fracturing the wrist of a woman in her 60s waiting to greet friends from overseas and attack her companion without cause, and then put them through appalling court cases, which they eventually win on Appeal, while the police got off scot-free. It appears they were also able to arrest a couple for simply sharing a link before it was illegal to do so, and then tie them up in court for years as well. Yes, that was all under the previous government, but there was not even a whimper of protest from the Opposition. And under National, and this current government’s recent tenure, a brave whistle-blower  — Barry Young — is threatened with jail and had his home ransacked for doing the right thing. Why? Because he tried to save people from harm and was courageous enough to stand up and say what he had seen in the government’s statistics regarding the gene-tech jab? (Barry Young, with the honesty and integrity he has, should be in charge of the Ministry of Health.)

In earlier years, the police had a good name in NZ. They were mostly trusted. There are still good police and they must be aghast at this new breed let loose, and the callous disregard for the New Zealand Bill of Rights.

11. Then there is the Gene Tech Bill. It is right up there as one of the most appalling pieces of legislation ever dumped on New Zealanders, and was sadistically presented on the last day of parliament before Christmas, 2024. The Gene Tech Bill allows enforcement of genetically modified jabs (contents unknown) on Kiwis without their knowledge because the term “medical activity” has been changed to include these jabs. These injections are, according to the legislation, permitted to contain hazardous substances and live organisms. I kid you not. I spent about six months of last year researching this and going over it with an astute lawyer. We found the contents of this legislation to be abhorrent.

It also decimates organic farming — worth billions in exports — and turns NZ into a playground for pharma and their side-kicks in agriculture to further experiment on and destroy the health of our people and the purity of our food. It also cedes New Zealand’s sovereignty. National, and all in parliament voting for any part it: What are you thinking?It is sabotage of our food source, all of nature, our people, and our country. In the view of many, it is also treason.

12. The woke climate change agenda is another enduring embarrassment for the government and opposition. It doesn’t need a scientist to work out that CO2 is necessary for life on this planet, or that trees breathe out oxygen and breathe in CO2. Net zero is an insanity. It destroys our food sources, nature, the health of our people and our country. It also destroys the livelihoods of your past key supporters — the farmers who are currently so hammered with rules and regulations they can barely operate with the ridiculous form-filling they have to endure, along with the appalling RMA. These are the men and women out there at all hours of the day and night working hard to try to provide us with good food and premium exports. Punishing farmers by tying them up with excessive bureaucracy and ‘net zero’s’ won’t do a damn thing about the environment, except destroy it. As for Boveaur and other such products being given to cows? Complete nonsense. Look at Denmark, who have now banned it because so many cows have died. Turning our farms into pine forests is sabotage as well.

13. The Digital ID: It’s an appalling piece of anti-freedom legislation that also violates the New Zealand Bill of Rights. A Digital ID is rather like rounding up the sheep before sending them to the abattoirs isn’t it? There’s not much difference between “Papers please” to “Digital ID please” is there — except a Digital ID is so much more than any other form of identification isn’t it, as you aim to link everything about each individual to it, including where they are, who they are with and what they are doing. The Digital ID, linked to AI, enables the government to track and trace every human 24/7, spy on them, control how far they travel, how much food they can buy and what food they are permitted, and if they have been “vaccinated”. Governments will be able to remove a person’s access to their personal bank accounts if a person has said anything the government doesn’t “approve” of, or that may be ‘politically incorrect’. All of the current political parties are well out of bounds with this over-reach. Political parties that voted in favour of this legislation should stand down. Tell the truth about the real purpose of the Digital ID system, Chris. Tell the truth.

14. The government (all sides) continues to cultivate the Divide and Conquer strategy, too. There is no ‘them’ and ‘us’.  We are all New Zealanders. No favourites. Please, don’t play cultures against each other. We are all New Zealanders, here on the same terms.

Silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole
truth and acting accordingly.
– Mahatma Gandhi

COMMENTS ON SOME OF THE FIVE POINTS YOU MENTIONED:

One of the five points you mention is that midwives are now able to “vaccinate”? That’s a terrible idea. Pregnant women should NOT be “vaccinated” Not ever. Or babies, or new mothers. The line was drawn on that from the days of thalidomide. You must know that. Have you checked the shocking stats of stillbirths lately? They have soared. Date coincident with throwing out that safe rule of ‘no vaccinations while pregnant’. And babies? Currently, it is recommended pregnant women get FOUR “vaccines” and babies, at six weeks, get SIX (5 all in one jab) plus one that protects against “13 types of streptococcus pneumoniae” and one rotovirus. Six, in addition to what the foetus receives through the pregnant mother, so 10 by six weeks. Have you ever seen nature give all those diseases at once? Yet this is what is proposed for babies? That is not ‘health’, that’s an assault. Let their immune systems develop without interference. It’s basic common-sense.

Building consents up 36,000 is another of the five ‘positives’ mentioned. What will happen next month though? Will you tell them (after they have built) that insurance companies won’t insure their homes because it is now in a “climate change flood zone”?  Because of some ‘computer modelling’? Governments must also stop the geoengineering — which is related to these so-called climate change issues — interference with the weather. There are chemtrails all over the country. Most know there is manipulation and toxic substances are also dropped from the sky in this way. I’ve seen the patents for such chemtrails in other countries. It’s happening here as well. National could stop it. You know the drill Chris: Cause the problem, Get a reaction to the destruction, don’t help the New Zealanders who are suffering and try to stop others from helping as well, and then announce the ‘solution’: Residences are to be ‘cleared’ due to ‘climate change.’

Another so-called achievement is that National is making it easier for young people to get a driver’s licence by letting people with clean driving records get a full license without sitting another test. What is not mentioned is the National government’s new law that allows police to randomly harass law-abiding citizens who already have driver’s licences, through detaining them and trying to enforce them to have a random “lick” test (as mentioned above) as well as a future ‘requirement’ to have a Digital ID while they already hold a legal licence in the form of a non-digitalised card.

SUMMARY:

Honestly Chris, most Kiwis can see through this. You’re all trying to step us towards a one-world government under the control of the select few in the global cartels. You know this don’t you? An increasing number of New Zealanders do. After the political parties have dutifully done the round-ups for the global cartels who do you think they may round-up next?

Currently we have a parliament that has run amok. The other lot were also appalling. Parliament takes ever-increasing amounts of money from hardworking Kiwis and provides them with ‘health options’ that maim and kill; it introduces legislation that violates the NZ Bill of Rights, including trying to restrict freedom of movement. It provides less freedom and creates more interference in the lives of the people, while introducing a raft of nightmare Orwellian legislation that, I repeat, violates our New Zealand Bill of Rights while other legislation is being pushed through that will destroy our health, our food, as well as our agriculture and export markets. It cheats New Zealanders who have solar power by barely paying for power going back into the grid while hiking up charges for power by over 100%. It gives millions away to wars while New Zealanders want to remain neutral. It tosses a billion dollars a year to the Paris Accord for ‘climate change’ which is fatuous nonsense and a money-laundering scheme if ever anyone saw one and won’t make one iota of difference to anything — except make New Zealanders poorer. All while we have an escalating problem of homelessness. It gives millions to the WHO – a corrupt organisation we should not be affiliated with and the UN the same. The WHO is 80% funded by eugenicist, Bill Gates through his Foundation. These are groups formed by a select-few global despots in their goal for total control of the world through a one-world government. Whatever chaos they create, they are stepping towards that goal where they control everything in a fascist regime. You will know that.  

I am not particularly singling National out because the parties in government are all in it in one way or another, pushing an agenda detrimental to New Zealanders and their health and well-being and ransacking and poisoning our beautiful country, while robbing them through eye-watering taxes to “keep them busy” while curbing their freedoms. Be honest with those you purport to represent. Tell them the truth. Be upfront.

Please, stop pretending and start really doing what you are all meant to be doing: Representing our PEOPLE, not representing global despots or their one-world- government front groups. If any politician or political party purports to represent New Zealanders but is representing off-shore interests and global cabals, then they must immediately stand down.

These days, many New Zealanders consider they are better off with no government at all, and no hamstrung-by-government councils either. Rates are ridiculously high. All engineered by interfering central government. Councillors who genuinely represent the people without interference from government and keep within budget are great to have, but when a government deals them a stacked deck, where, for example, a despicable bureaucrat in the last parliament (Bloomfield) forced (among other things) a known neuro-toxin into the water of most cities in NZ by personally threatening councillors, well that’s bully-boy tactics and sabotage that doesn’t serve any parliament well and violates the New Zealand Bill of Rights yet again. Yet National hasn’t repealed that destructive enforcement. You should do that. In time for next weeks’ instalment.

Love is the ultimate answer, Chris. Love for our people, love for all of nature and love for our country. Use that as your compass. If politicians let that be their guide then none of these heinous dictates as outlined above would have ever seen the light of day, for you would have all said NO. And if you felt you were between a rock and a hard place you could have come to the people and said: “This is what we are up against. Any ideas?” There are five million of us. Those of us not on the payroll of the globalists could easily come up with workable solutions.

Do the right thing. It’s almost too late, but better late than never.

THE MAILOUT: On 5/02/2026, at 7.41 PM, Chris Bishop <[email protected]>wrote:

Welcome to the first edition of a brand-new weekly newsletter from National, called “Friday Top 5: things you might have missed this week” . . .This new weekly update is your chance to hear directly from us about what National has done each week to fix the basics and build the future and to read some of the progress we’re making in many areas on your behalf. 

1. School’s back; assessments and reports are being improved

This is the year parents will finally see nationally consistent assessments and reporting in primary and intermediate schools – no matter which school their kids attend. Expect to see easy-to-understand information about progress in reading, writing and maths, alongside attendance information. We know parents are desperate to get this info so we hope it will be widely welcomed. Read more here

2. We’re making it cheaper and easier to get a driver’s licence

Driver licences are essential for helping people access jobs, education, and healthcare. We’re making it easier and cheaper to get a license by letting people with clean driving records get a full license without sitting another test. The cost will reduce by $80 too. We’ve also introduced a range of safety improvements to help keep everyone safe on our roads. Read more here

3. Residential construction is on the up 

Last year was tough for the construction sector with high interest rates caused by Labour’s reckless spending, but the economy is turning a corner. A good indication is 36,610 new residential building consents issued in 2025 – a 9.0% increase on 2024. This is great news for the construction sector and for Kiwis looking to buy a home.

4. 15,000 more jobs last quarter  

Jobs data out this week shows a small increase in the unemployment rate to 5.4% (up from 5.3%). But what wasn’t so widely reported was the additional 15,000 jobs that have been created.  It’s also worth mentioning that the unemployment rate went up slightly because more people are actually looking for work. National is working hard to drive jobs, growth, and higher living standards for all Kiwis and we’ve got a busy year ahead! Read more here

5. Midwives  

Midwives will now be able to offer a wider range of immunisations. In addition to providing pregnancy vaccines, midwives will now be able to administer funded vaccines to mothers after birth, babies, and eligible family members until the baby is 12 months old. This change will improve access to vaccination for expectant mothers, new parents, infants, and close family members, helping to ensure timely protection against vaccine preventable diseases.

    Well done Mary. This is why I am a committed Libertarian and believe that government is the cause of most of our problems, NOT the solution. I think we are stuffed really. Too many assaults from all angles. The Digital ID will finish us off with more censorship and control. As for the Lick Test, well I will refuse that!!

    What in the hell are those Gandhi quotes doing there. That idiot was used by London to slow down the independence of India.
