UNFAIRLY TARGETING FARMERS – THE 2016 HAVELOCK NORTH WAS USED TO INTRODUCE – THE NEW WATER REGULATOR TAUMATA AROWAI AND THE MAORI ADVISORY BOARD

UNFAIRLY TARGETING FARMERS – THE 2016 HAVELOCK NORTH WAS USED TO INTRODUCE –    THE NEW WATER REGULATOR TAUMATA AROWAI AND THE MAORI ADVISORY BOARD

Initially Accusations & Speculations were a reality to the farmers whom were blamed for the  Campylobacter outbreak  in Havelock North in August 2016, An estimated  5,500 people, 15 approx hospital admissions & 3  reported contributed deaths. There were political discussions and the Green Party blamed the Farmers for Intensification of  Farming practices as being the fault of the contamination

Federated Farmers & other Agricultural Representatives strongly rejected the claims pointing out that the area new the specific bore in question  was primarily lifestyle blocks and orchards not Intensive Dair Farming. It was concluded the source of contamination was likely from sheep faeces that flowed into a surface pond & then into an insecure bore

The Govt Inquiry attributed the blame on the Systemic failings by Hawkes Bay Regional Council & the Hastings District Council for their lack of collaboration * inadequate Risk Assessments & the failure to ensure Bore Security & Proper Water Treatment. The initial finger pointing at farmers caused a significant negative effect on the farming communities reputation. NZ First stated the Farmers are owed an apology as it was clarified the actual source was the Councils significant failings.

Farmers had been treated unfairly , were targeted by misleading and alarmist claims by Anti Lobbyists without a shred of evidence. There was finger pointing at agriculture,  yet the closest dairy farms was 40 kilometers away. It was reported that farmers had spent $1 billion fencing rivers over the past decade.

The Havelock August 2016 Incident imposed new restrictions & obligations on farmers as key land users in water catchments. Councils were blamed, criticized for the lack of collaboration * Inadequate Risk Assessment * Failure to implement required Water Safety Plans & Monitoring which was said to contribute to the outbreak occurring. The Havelock North Incidence highlighted tensions around water and land use in NZ, leading to more management & regulations nationwide.

Regional Councils eg Hawkes Bay Regional Council was required to implement stricter rules and planning changes (Like a TANK plan Change) which included the development & implementation of Farm Plans. Introduced more rigorous standards & restrictions, scrutiny and more rigorous national standards. This leading to increased regulations & restrictions on Agricultural practices & policy changes

The prompting of calls for a more Sustainable Less Intensive Farming methods. Including a cap on the use of synthetic nitrogen fertilizer, a measure that directly impacts many farmers. The Havelock North 2016 Incident  although Farmers were not to blame led to broader regulatory shifting, restriction on land use practices especially agriculture right across NZ. (was this just another Crisis opportunity ‘Never let a Good Crisis Go to Waste)that this was in  1 of the bore heads (Same location as the August 2016 incident)

The independent Stu Clark 1998 Report concluded that the 2 Bores were a possible source of campylobacteriosis.. The likely point of entry for  contaminated surface water was a leaking power cable gland. It was recommended that testing the Te Mata Aquifer to establish whether it was confined along with measured to ensure security of both bores.

The Regional Council failed to meet its responsibilities as set out by the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) to act as Guardian of the Aquifers under the Heretaunga Plains Protection of Water Sources. The District Council did not embrace- implement the high standard of care requires of a public drinking water supplier in light of the 1998 outbreak and the significant history of transgressions. The breaching of Drinking Water Standards

The District Council did not properly manage the maintenance of plant equipment or keep records of that work, carried out little to no supervisions of follow-up work. Did not carry out recommended improvements. There was a lack of collaboration and liaison  between the Regional Council and the District Council. A strained relationship with an absence of regular and meaningful cooperations resulted in missed opportunities that may have prevented the out break

Consultancy firm MWH New Zealand Ltd (“MWH”), a technical adviser to the District Council, failed competently to assess and report on the security of the bore heads of Brookvale Road bores 1 and 2. The Inquiry found that near the Brookvale Rd Bores the Aquifer had been penetrated by a significant number of disused or uncapped bores leaving it vulnerable to entry by contaminated water. That the Brookvale RD Bore 3 was affected by earthworks at the neighboring Te Mata Mushroom property, leaving it vulnerable to contaminated water

The Te Mata Aquifer was not a secure source of drinking water- non compliant to Drinking Water standards. That the Regional and District Councils relationship was dysfunctional. The Regional Council filed a criminal prosecution against the Regional Council 18th November 2016 which led to a delay in the Inquiry.

It was stated that this was ill advised and never should have been launched . It was eventually dropped and replaced with two infringement notices. The Regional Council spent $450,000 investigating the case. This could have been spent on the Aquifers beneath the Heretaunga Plains

It was reported that the risk associated with waterborne diseases in NZ are well recognized. The Drinking Water Guidelines emphazise that ‘Untreated drinking water contaminated with pathogens presents a significant risk to human health. Therefore lessons need to be learned from the Havelock North Incident.

But was has Central Government learned. First they blame the farmers unjustifiably so. Yet 23 years later successive governments have turned deliberately absent minded- where the Local Govt Act 2002 still remains with the same errors as when it was presented to the House. Where Trade Waste Consent Breeches still remain a cause of significant concern. Where Stats  that were present a couple of years ago now  the 2024-2025 Stats for Trade Waste Consent breaches are clearly absent from the publics eye.

DISINFORMATION ‘TIME FOR THE WAKE UP CALL ‘THE MINISTRY OF TRUTH’ NEW ZEALAND

CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION: BBC News reported 26th December 2018 ‘Jeremy Corban orders review into Christians plight’. The British Foreign Secretary was joined by the Archbishop of Canterbury and some of the survivors of Christian persecution. The review looked at the governments efforts to help some of the 215 million Christians whom faced discrimination and violence the previous year, said the Foreign Office spokesperson. Saying violence against Christians is rising dramatically with an average of 250 being murdered every month. The intervention came after the outcry over the treatment of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who faced death threats after being acquitted of blasphemy in Pakistan. She spent 8 years on death row, her conviction was eventually squashed by Pakistan’s Supreme Court. UK PM Theresa May defended herself in Parliament after being asked whether she had intervened to stop the UK Govt offering Bibi asylum. Theresa May told a Conservative MP “he should not necessarily believe everything he reads in the newspapers”

The BBC reported that Christians have been targeted in other parts of the world. China had a surge of police action against churches, the CCP getting tougher on unsanctioned Christian activity. Christians in Egypt faced a series of attacks by extremists including that of ISIS-Islamic State.

Where is the call for action against Christian Persecution world wide.. 360 millions Christians.  The BBC reported 2013 100,000 Christians are killed every year because of their faith. 3rd May 2019 BBC -Christian Persecution ‘at near genocidal levels’. Back in 2013 BB C News reported one in three Christians are being persecuted. Christians are the most pursued religious groups in the world. Jeremy Hunt said that ‘Political Correctness’ had played a part in the issue as not being confronted. The Interim Report stated the main impact of ‘genocidal acts against Christians is exodus’, that Christians are being wiped out from parts of the Middle East. In Iraq before 2003 there were 1.5 million Christians at the time of BBC report there was less than 120,000 Christians.

BBC reported that the evidence showed that there is a geographic spread of anti-Christian persecution, but also its increasing in severity”. In some regions of the world coming close to genocidal, meeting the international definition of Genocide according to that adopted by the UN. Jeremy Corbyn Review was commissioned on Boxing Day 2018. “Evidence shows not only the geographic spread of anti-Christian persecution, but also its increasing severity,” the Bishop wrote..”In some regions, the level and nature of persecution is arguably coming close to meeting the international definition of genocide, according to that adopted by the UN.” The foreign secretary commissioned the review on Boxing Day 2018 amid an outcry over the treatment of Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who faced death threats after being acquitted of blasphemy in Pakistan. Noted were the Sri Lanka Attacks on Christians. More than 250 people had been killed and more than 500 injured in attacks at hotels, churches in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday.

Jeremy Hunt said that “Governments had been asleep over the persecution of Christians, he spoke about the atmosphere of political correctness’ saying “What we have forgotten in the atmosphere of political correctness is actually Christians that are being persecuted are mostly  the poorest people on the planet. Responding to the BBC-Jeremy Corbyn’s Review on Christian Persecution the president of British Jews said “Jews had often been targets of persecution and felt for Christians who were discriminated against on the basis of their faith” Saying “Whether its authoritarian regimes, or bigotry masked remind us that there are many places in which Christians face appalling levels of violence, abuse and harassment,”

BBC reported in 2019 “the persecution of Christians at near genocidal levels”   BBC Reports 11th June 2022 Attacks on Christians in Nigeria on the rise”. The recent killings of Christian worshippers at a Catholic Church. Church attacks sharly on the rise. Schools attacked and children kidnapped. Vigilante Islamic Militant groups have targeted Christians for many years. Christian groups in Nigeria have blamed the government policies for increasing the targeting of Christians.

Persecution against Christians rises as people refused aid in COVID crisis- reported the Guardian News 13th January 2021 .Since the pandemic  persecution against Christians around the world has increased, where Christians have been refused aid in many countries, authoritarian govts stepping up surveillance, Islamic extremists exploiting the crisis, was reported. More than 340 million Christians, one in eight face high levels of persecution and discrimination because of their faith, according to World Watch 2021. A 60% increase over previous years in the number of Christians murdered because of their Christian faith. In China there is the ever increasing surveillance via facial recognition installed in churches in some area’s and online services are monitored. Crucifixes and Christian Imagery have been replaced with  pictures of President Xi Jinping and national flags. And communist oficials select church leaders.

In India, the Hindu Govt have fostered a climate of attacks and harassment of Christians . Foreign funding of Christian run hospitals, schools, church organizations has been blocked,  across the sub-Saharan Africa Christians have faced 30% higher levels of violence at the hands of Islamic Militant groups who have taken advantage of COVID lockdowns. In Nigeria the number of Christians murdered has tripled to 3,800 in 2021

The year 2020, the reporting of  a global pandemic, hospitalising and killing millions. But there is another story to be told about the Covid crisis – and that is the way the virus is being used against the persecuted church. In some countries there has been There’s also been a rise in the kidnapping, forcible conversion and forced marriages of women and girls. Christians have even been accused of causing the virus. In Colombia (30), the traditional animist beliefs held by some indigenous communities means they believe that converts to Christianity are the source of all plagues and diseases. Leaders of such groups believe that expelling Christian converts from their communities will help to put an end to the coronavirus. This has increased persecution, in some cases leading to Christians being imprisoned as way of expelling them from the community.

It’s a similar story in Somalia, where the violent Islamist group al-Shabaab said coronavirus was spread ‘by the crusader forces who have invaded the country and disbelieving countries that support them’. There have also been cases of Christian health workers facing discrimination in the distribution of protective equipment (PPE). Thankfully, your support has stepped in to provide this essential equipment. In Sri Lanka, coronavirus was the pretext for police to visit Christians’ homes to investigate church members and activities.

In an interview with BBC Radio 4, Open Doors UK and Ireland CEO Henrietta Blyth summarised how the pandemic had exacerbated persecution against Christians: “Covid, in effect, has put another weapon into the hands of persecutors, so it has made life infinitely more difficult for Christians suffering already.

Kiwi Pastors pen letter urging Brian Tamaki’s prison release, saying this is a warning sign for Christians. 22/1/2022 Newshub. The letter, addressed to New Zealand, is signed by five pastors: three from Grace Churches – one each in Gisborne, Tauranga and Rotorua – and the other two from Auckland’s Covenant Church and South City Reformed Baptist Church. “Yet, we felt compelled to write the following as a show of solidarity with his current plight. Our aim here is not to air our disagreements with Mr Tamaki. Rather we stand in solidarity with a religious minister who has been imprisoned, right here in Aotearoa.”

It goes on to suggest Tamaki has been “systematically silenced” and that New Zealand is “faced with a diseased democracy at best; and at worst, tyranny”. The pastors then call on Tamaki to be able to go about his life, quoting scripture. “Mr Tamaki may have touched the painted line of his bail conditions, but is jail really the suitable answer for handling political differences (while gangs in NZ face far lesser penalties for public disorder) “We write in solidarity with a man who dared to speak a point of view not approved by the State.” Christianity is also being persecuted in New Zealand.

Ardern’s Ministry Of Disinformation will not share this factual information. But the WakeUpNZ ‘Ministry Of Truth’ will.

The Truth must be spoken. The Truth is out there. The Truth is evidence based, not  based on the political tyranny of government funded academics.

THE COWS HAVE GONE ‘THE CONTAMINATION BEGINS’ (Nationwide 29 Ghost Farms)

Fonterra had cleared the cows from 16 farms to use these farmlands to dispose of waste water The waste water was odorless, colorless but it was definitely a pollutant that Fonterra was leaching into private water supplies (This story was first published by RNZ) It was. Come 2017 most of the stock had vanished completely from two farms. Neville Ross first noticed that cows were slowly decreasing from local farms in his area In 2017 most of the stock had vanished from two farms in the area. In 2018 stock had also disappeared from a third Cambridge farm.

Neville was a Detective in the NZ Police Force for 40 plus years not a Farmer, at this time Neville’s wife noticed her husbands  health declining he had been unwell, sadly Neville had a brain tumour. In 2018 it was noticed that three farms in Cambridge had now become stock free. Fonterra’s ‘Buxton’ farm which is one of the farms in the area where Neville and his wife lived which was owned by Fonterra, although it was stock free the sign ‘ Dairy Is Life’ and ‘Wandering Stock’ remained on the farm gate. The farm looked smart but it was described as a tip.

The Fonterra Hautapu Milk Processing Plant described in the news article had been dumping it’s wastewater onto a farm near where Neville and his wife lived. At peak production times Fonterra’s Hautapu plant processes approximately 150 tanker loads of milk, uses between 6,000 to 8,000 cubic metres of fresh water daily. Some of the water is fresh water and other water that is piped and irrigated onto Fonterra owned farms is waste water  that they use to clean out their factory tanks and pipes that contains cleaning products, its this water that’s piped onto and then irrigates Fonterra owned farms.

According to Fonterra these farms are a well managed and a  good circular model for nutrient management, that the wastewater helps to grow the grass on these farms that then is fed to cows. (Source of information-RNZ and Otago Daily Times). Fonterra’s wastewater from their factories contains nitrogen from the cleaning products they use to clean pipes and vats, if you add nitrogen from the wastewater to nitrogen from the cows urine this then become a high nitrogen level. This higher load of nitrogen starts seeping into the ground water and then pollutes beyond the Fonterra owned farm fence. Because the cows have been removed from the equation more wastewater spreads on the land.

The grass from these Fonterra owned farms which are often called ‘Ghost Farms’ is cut, carted elsewhere and used to feed cows, this is called ‘cut and carry, Fonterra prefers to name these farms as ‘Nutrient Management Farming’. Fonterra has been reported as saying they have consent for their 16 farms which they say are used for ‘Nutrient Management’ (It is reported that Fonterra own 29 of these ‘Ghost Farms’ in New Zealand)

Neville and his wife Denise had no idea that the wastewater on the Buxton Farm was used to soak up the local dairy plants wastewater, it was only discovered in 2020 after the local community decided to fight Fonterra’s proposal to build a wastewater treatment plant on the property. The community was most unhappy at the prospect of an industrial plant with huge ponds in their rural setting they felt that this should be in an industrial zoned area. Since this Fonterra started investigating other locations for the plant. Fonterra’s original proposal however drew the local community to the testing of bores close to the farm to see what condition their water was in, it was only then that Neville and Denise realised there could be problems with their water.

Neville and Denise had purchased their piece of land in 2010 and while Neville was building the house, both he and Denise drank the bore water, when construction of the house was finished Denise chose to drink rainwater however Neville thought the bore water tasted better, so he drank that.  Fonterra tested some of the local communities bore water however there had been an 18month wait for the final results to be sent to them Fonterra never offered to test Denise and Nevilles wastewater. Fonterra reported that they did not do this because the ground water flow from Buxton Farm went north and Neville and Denise’s  property is to the west.

Fonterra had been testing the bore water of some locals, although there had been an 18-month wait to have results sent to them. The company never offered to test Denise and Neville’s water because Fonterra thought the flow of ground water from Buxton Farm went north and the Ross’s farm lay to the west. It was 10 years after they moved onto their property that the couple got their first test results which was found to be really high, however they did not know what the test result meant.

You can’t see nitrate-nitrogen in the water because its colourless, odourless and tasteless and nitrogen cannot be boiled away, boiling concentrates the levels of nitrates. The amount of nitrogen allowed in New Zealand’s drinking water is 11.3 milligrams per litre, this is the level suggested by the World Health Organization as reported to avoid what they call ‘Blue Baby Syndrome’ which is a fatal condition caused by consuming too much nitrate during pregnancy or via bottle feeding.

The amount allowed in drinking water in New Zealand is 11.3 milligrams per litre (mg/L). It’s a level suggested by the World Health Organisation to avoid ‘blue baby syndrome’, a fatal condition caused by consuming too much nitrate during pregnancy, or via bottle feeding. The nitrate is reported to reduce the ability of the red blood cells to release oxygen to tissues which can suffocate a baby thus turning the baby blue. Only one fatal incidence of this has been recorded in New Zealand. However other studies have showed the connection with nitrates in drinking water and colorectal cancer.

This news article also reports although there is evidence, its not strong evidence that shows a possible association between nitrate in drinking water with bladder and breast cancer, thyroid disease and birth defects. (This news article does not go into details of the source of information of these studies, where and when, by whom)  Other evidence, although not as strong, shows a possible association between nitrate in drinking water with bladder and breast cancer, thyroid disease and birth defects. It was when Neville’s wife was at a gathering in the local community hall of local community that were concerned about the Fonterra  wastewater plant proposal when she found out about the nitrates and the association with cancer. It had been two years earlier that Neville had been diagnosed with a  terminal brain tumour.

The results of their bore water tests were above New Zealand’s standards and well above those levels associated with colorectal cancer, therefore she had reason to think that this was part of the reason her husband is so sick, this was extremely upsetting for her. At the time this article was reported sadly Neville was extremely sick, had been in remission. Although Denise and Neville were not dairy farmers, they are not anti-dairy farmers and not anti Fonterra either, they saw both as being an important part of New Zealand’s economy. Denise said that Fonterra had been helpful since the quality of their water was discovered however Neville’s response was as to Fonterra’s wastewater being dumped next door  “is a bit untidy in regards to human beings” as he wondered if there is a better solution.

Although Denise says , in recent times there have been deaths in the area due to cancer  however there is no suggestion its due to Fonterra’s Ghost Farms, but has left Denise wondering. This has left Neville and his wife worrying about the rest of the neighbourhood too. Fonterra supplied Neville and Denise with a filtration system to remove the nitrate from the water, they supplied 38 water filter systems to other properties near the Hautapu factory because of groundwater contamination.  Fonterra now has another option for dealing with its waste water from the Hautapu factory, this project would see the wastewater from the Hautapu wastewater managed by the municipal system. Waikato District Council reported that Fonterra had bailed out of the project because of the cost impact to Fonterra and the uncertainty of cost, commercial arrangement and delivery times.

Cambridge is not the only area in New Zealand that Fonterra has supplied water filters to because of their plant’s wastewater spreading. People in the dairy intensive Canterbury area have also been given new filters by Fonterra, like Denise and Neville had no idea they were living close to Fonterra’s ‘ghost farms’, where Fonterra and other smaller dairy companies do just as Fonterra do with their wastewater. Often these farms are irrigated with wastewater for decades and also hold resource consents just as Fonterra do.

It is noted that these consents allow the amount of nitrogen in wastewater to be far higher than the new freshwater rules that they allow farmers on grazed land as fertilizer (190kg per hectare per year of synthetic nitrogen). Unless the wastewater is more than 5 percent nitrogen it’s not considered fertiliser.  Because these wastewater farms hold resource consent for disposal of waste water products they are able to sidestep the new rule and continue to spread their heavy nitrate waste water because their consents allow them to.

Because the wastewater farms hold resource consents for disposal of waste products, they will be able to sidestep the new rule which comes into play in July and continue to spread as much as their consent permits. Fonterra have been reported to saying “ they work between the guidelines of councils”. Fonterra have reported they have major plans over the next 10 years, with $400 million earmarked for upgrades to wastewater plants at their  Edgecumbe, Whareroa, Maungaturoto, Te Awamutu, Longburn, Reporoa, Kapuni, Clandeboye and Hautapu factories and aims to reduce the nitrogen in the water before it reaches other farms.

The Otago Times article reports “In some cases the differences between the new synthetic nitrogen cap for fertiliser and the amount of nitrogen for dairy companies in which they are allowed to spread waste water on these ghost farms is eye watering” It has been reported that the current highest consent amount is in Canterbury. The Clandeboye plant is allowed to spread up to 600kg of nitrogen per hectare per year. Environment Canterbury’s 2020 nitrate risk map links past wastewater irrigation with high levels of nitrate-nitrogen in the area. One survey describes a “contamination plume” and notes 53 wells, mostly near the Clandeboye dairy factory and Seadown fertiliser storage facility, exceed drinking water standards for nitrate-nitrogen. Fonterra has supplied two Canterbury homes with water systems because of nitrate in the ground water, and another house with a UV filter.

In the Waikato, Fonterra’s Hautapu plant has a resource consent to spread up to 500kg per hectare per year on Bruntwood farm and 400kg on Buxton and Bardowie farms. Maximum results from monitored bores show a reading of 17.80mg/L for Bruntwood farm, 18mg/L for Buxton farm and 26.8mg/L for a bore on Bardowie farm.

In Reporoa, wastewater has been spread for decades and at one point up to 800kg of nitrate-nitrogen was allowed, this has dropped to 420kg. The highest average reading from the 2017/18 fiscal year from a bore in the area is 18.7mg/L. RNZ’s efforts to gather resource consents and monitoring results from wastewater farms nationwide found some consents don’t require monitoring. For those that do, most show levels of concern in some, but not all the bores monitored for many of the farms where water is spread. Even if monitoring is a condition of resource consents, most don’t require a reduction in the amount of wastewater spread if the ground water is affected.

One must question the  “cumulative regulatory failure” of councils, and what about the Resource Management Act (RMA). Obviously the Governments whipping boy is the New Zealand farmer, where is the accountability and responsibly here? Oh, that’s right its always the farmers fault, thrown them under their tractors. One rule for the companies and another for the farmers. Get rid of cows, after all the International Biannual Parliamentary Gatherings (IPU) and the annual Global Convention of mayors are obsessed with their plan namely ‘The Global New Green Deal’, cull the cows, get of the cars off the roads, build at least 500km of cycleways across New Zealand and plant small urban forests in namely Human Habitats. Rural migration to Urban City highly populated and controlled area’s of surveillance. Whoever owns the land, controls the food hence controls the people. Farmers worldwide report land and water grabs. Severe restriction imposed on them so that they sell of their farms at cheap prices. Or authorities demand they give up their farms as they are doing in parts of Africa.

Note: The NZ Local Government Act 2002, just after  the Act was introduced Crown Law found a major loophole as to Trade Waste Water, this  has allowed NZ Companies to leach contaminants, chemicals, high level of nitrates into drains, hence leaching into water ways and some washed out to sea. It has been reported that  some treatment plants have been unable to deal with this. Twenty year have gone by the Act has never been amended although often bought to the Govts attention, as it has been bought to Nanaia Mahuta’s attention more recently. No prosecutions, no fines the government use an educative approach and the contamination continues. Ammonia in some of this contaminated water has eaten into under ground pipes hence they have been eaten away by the ammonia. These pipes cost rate payers approx.., $5,000 per metre to replace.  This my dear friends is the ‘New Global Green Deal’ scam. Nanaia Mahuta reports as to the Three Waters Reform that  the wastewater system will have to wait a couple of years before they deal with this. The massive plan to rob rate payers continues.  Wake Up New Zealand, the governments transparency is Zilch.

YOU’RE NOT MY MAKER

The immoral criminal acts of Socialism, Marxism and Communism.

Our post modernised world of critical theory, sexualizing and politicking of children in our schools.

What is it about socialism? It seems that the arguments against it, no matter how finely tuned, have to be made over and over again in every generation.

The example of the world’s most notoriously evil regimes, including Lenin and Stalin’s Soviet Union (the USSR, or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics), Hitler’s Third Reich (“Nazi” is an abbreviation for National Socialists), Mao’s China and the present-day CCP (Chinese Communist Party, working for the socialist revolution), and many more horrific examples?

 

In general, socialism refers to the set of philosophical, political, and economic theories that extol communal ownership of property and the confiscation of private property to be disposed of by the state

I will generally treat socialism and communism interchangeably, since socialism is the broader category to which all communism belongs.

In his 1983 Templeton Address, Alexander Solzhenitsyn maintained that “the principal trait of the entire twentieth century,” and the cause of its many conflagrations, was that “Men have forgotten God.”

THE POLITICALLY CRIMINAL HYPOCRISY ‘A BRAVE COURAGEOUS MAN TREATED LIKE A CRIM’ BY NZ GOVT AGENCY

Mark was awarded an N Z Award for bravery for his actions in a dangerous situation, yet a government agency is treating him like a crim. I personally believe we do not have a govt on NZ, we have a regime. One that treats its law abiding citizens like crims.  A man who saves many lives, is compassionate and courageous.  In support for this New Zealand hero I have decided to add my voice to this and share with you some information that we should not put to one side. We should support this man as much as we can as he battles a government agency.
