TABLE TOP EXERCISES THAT INFLUENCE INTERNATIONAL POLICY MAKING ‘EVENT 201’ WEF & GATES FOUNDATION

TABLE TOP EXERCISES ARE DESCRIBED AS A NORMAL TOOL OF PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS TRAINING TO IMPROVE INTERNATIONAL COORDINATION & RESPONSE.. Several have already been acted out for International purposes at the  John Hopkins Centre For Health Bloomberg Public Health Center. Partners of the Center include :- Independent research & analysists. Supported by governments worldwide, foundations- funders and partners  etc., To name a few:- Open Society Foundations (George Soros) * World Health Org., (UN) WHO *Bell & Melinda Gates Foundation *Rockefeller Foundation* CEC * FDA and many more. The John Hopkins Centre was founded in 1998 by D A Henderson as a first Global-Govt Organization

JOHN HOPKINS – BLOOMBERG SCHOOLS OF PUBLIC HEALTH- CENTER FOR HEALTH SECURITY FUNDERS AND PARTNERS INCLUDE.. The Center conducts independent research and analysis, and our work is supported by government, foundations, and gifts. We are grateful for the generous support from our funders and partners. To study the vulnerability of US Civilian population to Biological Weapons. 25 plus years on the John Hopkins Health Security Bloomberg School’ s focus in ‘Severe Pandemics that threaten Our World

Henderson as the first nongovernment organization to study the vulnerability of the US civilian population to biological weapons and how to prevent, prepare, and respond to their consequences.

Between 1992- 2002 Published papers in Jama Medical Management of Biological Agents  *1999- 2000 Organized 2 National Symposia on Medical Health Response & Bio-terrorism *2001 was highly influential in government decisions to purchase a UN national Smallpox stockpile *2002 Became involved in the Guidance for Hospital and Communities in the US on Pandemic Preparedness Hospital Programmes *2003 Led & shaped US National efforts to engage the public in epidemic & disaster response policies & programs. Launched their 1st Peer Reviewed Journal in this field. Consequently Bioterrorism & Biosecurity was later renamed Health Security. In 2004 John Hopkins Health Security Centre’s research provoked US Policy of ‘Dual Use Research’. Startups publishing annual Health Security  federal funded articles. Which were used by the Media *Government to understand Bio-defense & Health Security

2006 John Hopkins Centre’s analysis * advocacy helped to form the ‘Pandemic & All-Hazards Preparedness Act and the Bio-medical Advanced Research & Development Authority (BARDA) *2011 John Hopkins Centre published its first ‘Nuclear Preparedness Guidance’ aimed at Public Health, medical and Civic Leader in the Rad Resilient City Initiative

2006 The John Hopkins Center analysis and advocacy helped to inform the framework for the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act, as well as the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

2011 Published first nuclear preparedness guidance aimed at public health, medical, and civic leaders in the Rad Resilient City initiative. The initiative providing cities & their neighbors with a checklist of ‘preparedness actions’ following a nuclear detonation. Also provided leaders a Checklist of Preparedness’ as to the risk of terrorism

2012 John Hopkins created their first International Fellowship Program focused on building Bio-security leadership.. And a first effort report on how to allocate resources during a Pandemic. * In 2013 they helped lead-develop the US National Health Security Preparedness Index. (The first State to State Index on Health Preparedness)

This resulted in US Govt funding and a new US Policy *2014-2016 Established Track 2 – S E Asian-US & India -US Biosecurity dialogues * 2017 Published their first working paper in the field of ‘defining global catastrophic biological risks- catalyzing a new focus on these issues *John Hopkins Health Centre- Bloomberg School of Health Security are also well known worldwide for their famous ‘Table Top- Simulation Exercises. (1) 2001 ‘Dark Winter Exercise- Depicting a smallpox attack on the US- which led the US Govt to stockpile Smallpox Vaccines

The 2005 ‘Atlantic Storm’ Table-top simulation Exercise focusing on the Inter-dependence that is demonstrated among International Communities in the face of Epidemics & Biological Weapons. * Another John Hopkins Centre Exercise namely ‘CLADEX’ in 2018. Was a major table-top exercise on major political and policy decision making that would emerge if a global catastrophic biological event was to occur.

The one I find most interesting is John Hopkins Bloomberg Centre For Health Security – namely EVENT 201’ which took place on October 18th 2019. Only e months before the emergence of the COVID19 Pandemic. Of course Fact Checkers- and the usual participants- NGO’s- Govts etc., have said “Nothing to See Here- Its nothing to do with the emergence of the COVID 19 Pandemic”

The 18th October 2019 ‘201’ Global Pandemic Table-top Exercise was held at the Pierre Hotel in New York. The audience was by invite only (A livestream audience) Which has Video coverage on You Tube which can be viewed.

KIA-ORA ‘NORTH KOREA’ BLAIR’S WARTIME DRACONIAN LAWS ARE INTRODUCED IN NEW ZEALAND

KIA-ORA ‘NORTH KOREA’ BLAIR’S WARTIME DRACONIAN LAWS ARE INTRODUCED IN NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand Government has the ability to detain you as long as they want without you committing a crime.

Just reading Avi Yemini’s Tee Shirt ‘Kia-ora North Korea’ as he entered NZ made me think of the research I had done 2 years ago on Tony Blairs established ‘Fixated Threat Assessment Centre’ (FTAC) which was reported by the Daily Mao; News on 27/5/2007 as ‘Tony Blairs Stalker Squad’. His quietly set up FTAC. Where suspects could be detailed indefinitely by using mental health laws. Those people that accuse the govt of using draconian measures of abusing human rights risk being detained. These were people who are thought to pose a risk to MP, public figures, the Royal family. Giving the govt sweeping powers to check, analyze more than 10,000 suspects

Anyone thought to have a ‘fixated behavior  or fixated way of thinking, is thought of being a risk. The governments holding the power to forcibly detain suspects in mental health units without trial, without evidence, without criminal conviction, without any crime being committed. Where the line is blurred between criminal and clinical investigations. Because of confidentiality suspects were not identified, therefore no-one was able to know how many suspects are forcibly  detained. The Atlantic Times reported ‘UK Enforces Law that Bans Public from Criticizing the Government’, describing a British citizens being detained in a mental health unit under Blairs ‘little known laws’. Allowing police power to arrest, detain anyone who voices criticism against MPs.

Blairs FTAC legally being able to detain people for indefinite periods of time without trial, without evidence, without a crime being committed, with limited rights to appeal. A number of British people have fallen prey to Blairs North Korean Communist tactic. Activist David Campon was imprisoned without criminal charges in a London Mental Health Hospital when he publicly associated himself with the International Tribunal into crimes by the Church and State against children, which held the Crown of England responsible for crimes against children. He and other activists convened a Common Law Court to enforce warrants against child abuser and convicted felons.

Outspoken MP Andrews Lansley was reported to have said “the law can be used to target anyone with religious, political, cultural beliefs. The Government is trying to widen the definition of ‘mental health’ disorders. Their intentions are questionable” where Govt can order suspects to undergo mental health intervention when they do not have a mental health disorder. The British Govt under Blair then passed a Bill in which the Courts could mandate  civil and criminal matters in a private court without suspects who were detained every knowing about this happening, where the govt chose a court advocate to represent the suspect.

State Tyranny likened to that of North Korea. Evening Standard 27/5/2007 News headed “Shambles of Blairs plan referring to ‘Draconia wartime Powers’, where anyone can be stopped and questioned about their ID and Movements. Refusing to comply would impose 5,000 pound fines. Civil liberties groups warned that just be a civil matter of dropping a piece of litter risks being detained and having DNA taken.

The arresting, detaining people just on suspicion on the grounds you may be plotting something. That was Britain 2007 under Blairs Government. 2017 NZ Government. Ministry Of Health reported due to consistent overseas research NZ was piloting Tony Blairs draconian WARTIME PLAN. July 1st 2019 the whole concept of Tony Blairs Fixated Threat Assessment Centre was established permanently in New Zealand. Yes ‘Kiaora North Korea’. This being overseen by a senior official governance group officials from three participating agencies. Parliamentary police, Special Mental Health Officials and NZ Police. The collaboration of the three just as it was in Tony Blairs Government, and as it is now. And has also been adopted by Victoria’s government (Daniel Andrews). Fixated behavior by Blairs plan referred to Newspaper adverting, posters, emails to MPs and Emails to police and many other thought led motivations, suspicions- the thought police. Predictable behaviors that do not fit a mechanism of being a criminal.

An FYI (Official request ) for information from the government for details of people detained in the FTAC in NZ was requested. For the dates between 2017- 2020. The number of people, gender, religion, age of those that had been detained. The response by Director of National Intelligence NZ Police to all questions was ‘Non-Applicable’. Therefore we do not know who may be detained, being forced into mental health intervention, treatment. Transparency Zilch. Kiaora North Korea ‘Avi Yemini is so right’

‘KIAORA’ NORTH KOREA ‘ NZ TAKES ON BLAIRS DRACONIAN WARTIME QUESTIONING..The State give themselves sweeping powers to analyze anyone under suspicion, the ‘Thought’ Police in action. Blair, Ardern and Daniel Andrews.

PARLIAMENT LEGIZLATED THE TE TIRITI o WAITANGI. ‘The Te Tiriti o Waitangi did not create Partnerships nor Principles’

PARLIAMENT LEGIZLATED THE TE TIRITI o WAITANGI. ‘The Te Tiriti o Waitangi did not create Partnerships nor Principles’

Nothing in this Act shall permit the Crown to act in a manner that is inconsistent with the Principles of the Treaty. First tie the Principles of the Treaty had been documented) There are NO Principles in the Treaty Of Waitangi 1840.

1985 Treaty of Waitangi Amendment Act. While the 1975 Treaty of Waitangi Act was about the settlement of historical grievances, the 1985 Amendment Act was a very different matter. The recognition of iwi-Māori rather than pan-Māori as the inheritors of Treaty settlements established the reviving tribe as both political player and economic corporation.

1985 Amendment Act, Deputy Prime Minister Geoffrey Palmer agreed to Sir Hepi Te Heuheu’s request to insert the clause “Nothing in this Act shall permit the Crown to act in a manner that is inconsistent with the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi” into Section 9 of the State-owned Enterprises Act 1986. This is the first reference in legislation or policy to the principles of the Treaty – indeed, the first indication that the Treaty has principles. Parliament did not define the principles — an unconscionable failure which opened the way for the courts and government officials to determine what is probably one of the most important political events of the 20th century. Treaty principles, including that of partnership, now appear in almost all legislation.

1987 Court of Appeal decision stating that the Treaty established a relationship “akin to a partnership”. Although the judges likened it to the obligation partners in a partnership had they did not say that the Treaty actually created a partnership. Nor did it. However, “partnership” was quickly picked up by the Waitangi Tribunal and by the 1987 Iwi Leaders’ Forum. From that time this powerful interest group has achieved enormous success in claiming constitutional change and ownership rights. “Partnership” is the justification. The possibility that the He Puapua Report will be implemented either in full or modified form demonstrates the group’s success to date.

Māori Crown agency to be established

Māori Crown agency to be established

Beehive Speech Kelvin Davis 18th September 2018

Cabinet has approved the final scope of the Māori Crown portfolio and agreed to establish an agency to oversee Government’s work with Māori in a post-settlement era, announced Crown/ Māori Relations Minister Kelvin Davis today.

“The agency, to be called the Office for Māori Crown Relations: Te Arawhiti, will help facilitate the next step in the Treaty relationship – moving beyond the settlement of Treaty grievances into what it means to work together in partnerships,” Kelvin Davis said.

“The name reflects feedback from the hui that Māori should appear first in the relationship. Te Arawhiti, refers to the transition phase we are in, that is ‘the bridge’ between Māori and the Crown.

“Several other Government units and offices will be consolidated into the agency, including the Crown/Māori Relations Unit, the Office of Treaty Settlements, the Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Team and the Settlement Commitments Unit. The consolidation will bring a sharper focus and efficiency to the Government’s work with Māori.”

In addition to finishing Treaty Settlements and Marine and Coastal Area applications, the new agency, based on the new scope of the Māori Crown portfolio, will provide strategic leadership across the public sector to:

  • ensure the Crown meets its Treaty obligations;
  • develop a new engagement model and guidelines for the Government and public sector;
  • co-design partnerships, principles and frameworks to ensure that agencies generate the best solutions to issues affecting Māori;
  • ensure public sector capability is strengthened across the board;
  • provide a cross Government view on the health of the Māori Crown partnerships;
  • provide strategic leadership on contemporary Treaty issues;
  • other matters including the constitutional and institutional arrangements supporting partnerships between the Crown and Māori: and
  • continue to take the lead in organising significant Māori and Crown events, ie Waitangi Day.

“While there are still some Treaty grievances to settle, I heard from many Māori how they want to engage with the Crown on a range of issues that look to the future.

“Together, Māori and the Crown want this portfolio to be about aspiration, and looking forward, in the post-settlement era,” Kelvin Davis said

HE PUAPUA THE UNDRIP PLAN TO ACTION APARTHEID AND SEPERATISM IN NEW ZEALAND.
Carol Sakey September 11, 2023
CO-GOVERNANCE OF NEW ZEALAND

HE PUAPUA THE UNDRIP PLAN TO ACTION APARTHEID AND SEPERATISM IN NEW ZEALAND.

In 2007 under the labour Government they were totally opposed to the UNDRIP for the following reasons. But  for all these reasons that all these reasons why they rejected it, they are now supporting it, and promoting it.

In 2010 John Keys under a veil of secrecy arranged for Pita Sharples co leader of the Maori party to go to New York UN Assembly to be a representative of NZ where he adopted the UNDRIP.  The following is what he agreed upon on behalf of the peoples of New Zealand, which of course they did not even know about until after the dirty deed was done.

Iwi/Maori to have  Veto Rights over others. Control of NZ’s Natural Resources. Veto rights over the laws of Parliament. Two classes of citizenship. The UNDRIP was not compliant with the Treaty. Iwi/Maori  would have own  the entire lands of NZ, that others already legally own. The rights to redress lands (compensation) for the entire lands of New Zealand.

It was said by Rosemary Banks that represented New Zealand at the UN in 2007 that the UNDRIP is seen by others attending the UN Assembly as a document of Aspiration not a legal document to be acted upon.

He Puapua report that was commissioned by Ardern’s Cabinet in 2019. This is the action plan which includes the UNDRIP which is the hugely controversial undemocratic  Co-governance of New Zealand.
