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

George Soros- Open Society Foundations *WHO *John Hopkins  * Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation *Rockefeller Foundation *Robert Wood Johnson Foundation U ASPR (Assistat Secretary for Prepared and Response *CDC *Homeland Security *FDA *DTRA *Alfred Sloan Foundation * de Beaument Foundation * Smith Richardson The Center was founded in 1998 by D.A. 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)

2013-2014: John Hopkins Centre participated in debate referring to ‘Gain Of Function’-Potential Pathogen Research. 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. The Tabletop exercise for the Global Pandemic was organized by the John Hopkins Center For Health Security, the World Economic Forum and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Funded by the ‘Open Philanthropy Project’

The Players (Actors) that participated in the Event 201 Table Top Exercise were individuals from Global Businesses, Govt & Public Health and involved Sofia Borges UN Foundation Senior Director at the New York Head Office of the UN * Dr Chris Elias -President of the Global Development Programme of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

EUTHANASIA

THE DANGEROUS CONCEPTS OF EUTHANASIA ‘ARE PEOPLE CONSIDERING THE RISKS TO MANY VUNERABLE PEOPLE’?

CHOICE: Euthanasia ‘End Of Life Choice” has dangerous concepts this is a sensitive subject because people do not take into consideration that this bill was passed because it was one on the personal sensitivity on ones feelings (of course that’s natural) but not of the facts (the dangerous concepts within the Act).  Is patient taking medication?  What is happening behind closed doors (coercion and manipulation secrecy and fear- referring to age concern etc.,) Patients can choose not to be resuscitated … patients feeling unworthy, a problem to the family…This is another Benefits vs Risks Scenario.  Politically Government saving on healthcare costs. And ignoring Hospice funding issues. Another issue being as in other countries when you introduce an Act like this it will significantly expand its boundaries ..Dangerously dehumanizing beyond humanity itself. (DON’T YOU LOVE THE WORD ‘CHOICE’??)

PUBLIC OPINION: There is huge controversy around this Euthanasia Act for doctors ‘ ethically’ eg Do No Harm. Protection of Life. The legal and practical considerations of the End Of Life Act. There is confusion regarding the terminology among the general public of NZ (Enter word CHOICE into Bill- everyone’s wants choice- become an over-riding psychological issue) When people do not have the facts and lead from the heart this can be a huge problem when it comes to risks of other peoples lives and seen as the benefit of a few (softening peoples views on a life and death matter). Majority of NZrs would not even understand or bother to analyze the legislation. Conscience Vote overriding the Facts, Concepts within the Act

ABSENCE OF LEGAL REQUIREMENTS: The High Court concluded that there are limited declarations around the interpretation of the Act. Absent of legal requirement for nurses, pharmacist and other health professionals whom may object this includes hospices.. The law does not protect the vulnerable under the Euthanasia Act. End of life depression can be treatable.  Being unworthy of life becomes a normal concept and socially acceptable as a concept. The way doctors communicate information can determine the decision making of the patient. One must consider the motivation behind seeking euthanasia a doctor cannot be sure of this they do not live the private life behind the doors of the patients personal existence. Subtle coercion and unseen influence is easily ignored, not even seen, evident.

A SLIPPERY SLOPE:  Legislatively the patient has a legal right to refuse treatment, enable do not resuscitate and proxy decision making thus reaffirming bans on assisting suicide. The Euthanasia Act sends controversial messages to those whom are suicidal. The Act may not adequately safeguard peoples lives against their wishes, The Euthanasia Act (End Of Life Choice Legislation) is a slippery slope. One big challenge is that is complicated is where the primary doctor conscientiously objects, the replacement doctor then assumes responsibility without any long term relationship knowledge of the patient or his/her family. Even ones own personal doctor is not likely to know this, even more so with doctor, nurses shortages and more and more virtual doctors visits will take place.

DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP: Doctor-patient relationships are not what they use to be in todays post modernized world. The second doctor providing a second independent opinion has no obligation to determine coercion or undue influence at the time of the final consent to administrate the final lethal dose. Concern have been raised concerning the Euthanasia Act’s regulatory framework. The Review committee did not receive demographic data such as age, gender, ethnicity and excluded coercion, thus making it difficult to confirm the statutory requirement of “satisfactory compliance with the requirement of this Act”. Thus there is no way at all that patients that seek euthanasia are being coerced or not, as subtle coercion can easily be undetected. Therefore there are NO Safeguards for vulnerable people. .Socio economic status and other area’s of a patients life and dependency on family can cause a loss of dignity hence seeking euthanasia.

RISKS AND GAPS: The risks and gaps have not been measured as to benefits and risks. Since the Act was introduced legislatively we have been living in times that are hyping up the anxiety and grief especially around the most vulnerable this surely will increase the seeking of euthanasia (I just want out of here AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY OUT). Risks and Gaps have allowed the governments determination to control NZrs lives.

MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE FAILURES: Mental illness and vulnerability is common in terminally ill people, depressive disorders. How do you differentiate depressive disorders from grief reactions in the case of terminal illness, its too difficult.  Mental Health services in New Zealand have fallen over when it comes to given a person an app to take home when they are crying out they want to jump off a cliff and kill themselves. Under treatment of psychiatric illness is common in New Zealand.

CANCER PATIENTS:  It is reported that 80% of cancer patients remain unrecognized and untreated for mental health issues. Cancer accounts for one of the largest reasons for euthanasia overseas thus more people seeking euthanasia. NZ Government state they prioritize reducing suicidal deaths rates whilst provisionally approving assisted suicide under this Euthanasia Act

LACK OF PALLIATIVE CARE: In 2019, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities expressed extreme concern with Canadian legislation,49 and recommended “adequate safeguards to ensure that persons with disabilities do not request assistive dying simply because of the absence of community-based alternatives and palliative care”

HOSPICE: It is highly reported that Hospice services will be significantly negatively effected because of a serious lack of government funding. The government would people seek assisted suicide than fund a persons right to dignity in dying and ongoing support for family in their time of grieving. Through Hospice they value ‘Dignity in living and Dignity in Dying.)

LEGAL PERSPECTIVE: From a legal perspective, the EoLCA poses many challenges and unanswered questions about how to ensure the process is safe for all involved. Proponents rightly point out that many of these questions should be addressed at a professional level with training programme’s, clear guidelines and access to adequate support. On the other hand, opponents point to overseas evidence of underreporting and nonvoluntary euthanasia to illustrate risks of the legislation.

NORMALISING THE CONCEPT OF PREMATURE DEATH AS BENEFICIAL: Based on overseas experience, once legalized, euthanasia eligibility criteria will be challenged, and are likely to be expanded over time. Some regard this as an egalitarian progression towards a better future that includes a ‘right to die’, while others view this as an unacceptable risk of the EoLCA. .(Euthanasia Legislation)

NON-VOLUNTARY EUTHANASIA: Administration of a life-ending substance to a patient who is unable to consent due to a medical condition..

NZ MEDICAL ASSOCIATION: Considers that voluntary euthanasia is unethical, but supports a persons pain relief which can hasten a patients death which is determined as ethical. There is an acknowledgement that a patients autonomy may be compromised without a doctors knowledge as to what happens in a patients private life behind closed doors, therefore the ACt does not adequately safeguard vulnerable peoples lives. There could also be poor symptom management and broken communication between the doctor and the patient.

THE REFERENDUM (DOCTORS): There was little room for doctor to abstain yet they are the ones that are holding the needle (the lethal dose). Similar to the nation wide jab of COVID 19 jab.DO NO HARM is ignored as the government goes along with the Risks vs Benefits. The Risks have been also ignored in David Seymour’s Euthanasia Act. CHOICE has embedded itself in people hearts as they had their choices taken away. I personally believe this is of serious concern. (The word CHOICE  used for coercion and indoctrination of this legislation). What the eye does not see the heart does not grieve over.

HOW MANY VULNERABLE LIVES ARE PUT AT RISKS BECAUSE OF THIS EUTHANASIA LEGISLATION AS TO THOSE THAT BENEFIT FROM THE LEGISLATION? If this is too difficult to answer then this should be of very serious concern.  There is nothing more precious than life itself. It is fact that people have been told they only have 6 months to live by health professionals and have lived much longer and have been able to live and die in dignity with the right care, love and respect.  As we see more and more fragmented families this becomes a real issue around the seeking of Euthanasia, the premature ending of ones life.

DATA IN AND DATA OUT: Often, a patient is considered terminally ill when his or her estimated life expectancy is six months or less, under the assumption that the disease will run its normal course based on previous data from other patients.

DETERMINATION OF ONES LIFE SPAN: My father was given 6 months to live he had a brain tumor, cancer on the lungs he lived for over  a year. He was surrounded by family in his own bed at home. Hospice sat with us for 24 hrs as he finally passed away.

DEATH IN DIGNITY AND DIGNITY IN DYING: When a person is treated with dignity, love and respect there is a reason to want to live, a reason not to seek a needle with the legal dose injected into your body. Hospice made sure pain killers were administered adequately. They also enquired about our families needs. I have been involved with Hospice helping people write their ‘end of life’ story times, of times gone by. (The Government would rather fund premature death than dignity in living and dignity in dying)

HEART VS HEAD: The ruling from the heart (conscientious vote) ignoring the dangerous concepts this is exactly how this Bill was passed. People calling upon their very real emotional grief of watching loved ones dying, a natural grief, is normal… but this  ignores the very serious risks that vulnerable people are being put in when it comes to life and death decisions.  I acknowledge how the heart grieves in these life and death situations but should we ignore the dangerous concepts the risks it puts other human lives in?

THE DANGEROUS SLIPPERY SLOPE:  YES, I call this a slippery slope, and another psychological coercion by  the government in the word ‘CHOICE’ (End Of Life ‘CHOICE’ Act). And no-one speaks out, everyone is silent. SILENCE IS CONSENT to be indoctrinated and coerced even at he end of ones life.

NOTE: I followed this Bill throughout and much earlier on could see the dangerous conceptions within the End of Life Choice Bill (legislative Act). I was saying exactly the same then as I am saying right now. ITS A VERY SLIPPERY SLOPE and we should never ignore it.

EUTHANASIA AND COVID-19 RELATIONSHIP IN GOVERNMENT’S PLAYBOOK

EXCLUSIVE: MOH says Kiwis with COVID-19 can now be eligible for euthanasia. New Zealand euthanasia expansion.. By The Defender.

OIA REQUEST: An Official Information Act reply to The Defender, from the Ministry of Health, which says that patients with COVID-19 could be eligible for euthanasia, has left National MP Simon O’Connor disappointed but not surprised.

HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS RAISE CONCERNS:  In November The Defender wrote to the New Zealand Ministry of Health (MOH) to ask some important questions about the practice of euthanasia and assisted suicide in New Zealand. In light of the serious deficiencies in the End of Life Choice Act (EOLCA), and concerns that have been raised by healthcare professionals, we felt it was crucial to put some urgent questions to the MOH.

COVID-19 AND ASSISTED DYING: In our Official Information Act (OIA) request we asked the following question: “Could a patient who is severely hospitalised with Covid-19 potentially be eligible for assisted suicide or euthanasia under the Act if a health practitioner viewed their prognosis as less than 6 months?”

TOOLS  TO RESOLVE SERIOUS CRISIS: There were several reasons why The Defender wanted to seek clarity from the MOH about this issue.  Firstly, New Zealand is currently described as being in a precarious position when it comes to COVID-19 and hospital resources. In light of this, it would not be hard to envisage a situation in which a speedy and sizeable rise in COVID-19 hospitalizations could result in pressure to utilize euthanasia and assisted suicide as tools to resolve such a serious crisis.

WARNING OF CAUTION: Overseas commentators have raised the prospect of these kind of unethical motivations since early in this pandemic.  Last year’s tragic case of the elderly Canadian woman who had an assisted suicide to avoid another COVID-19 lockdown highlights exactly why caution is warranted in relation to COVID-19 and euthanasia.  “The lack of stringent safeguards in the EOLCA raised red flags with us. Could a patient with COVID-19 find their way into the eligibility criteria? And, if so, what serious risks would this pose to the already often-vulnerable elderly members of our communities?” says The Defender editor Henoch Kloosterboer.

CRITERIA FOR ASSISTED DYING: The MOH responded to our OIA request on Tuesday (7th of December, 2021). Their reply to The Defender started on a more promising note: “There are clear eligibility criteria for assisted dying. These include that a person must have a terminal illness that is likely to end their life within six months.” But then their response becomes more disturbing (emphasis added):

THE ATTENDING PRACTITIONER:   “A terminal illness is most often a prolonged disease where treatment is not effective. The EOLC Act states eligibility is determined by the attending medical practitioner (AMP), and the independent medical practitioner.”

SERIOUS CONCERNS: This raises serious concerns. Firstly, there is nothing concrete about the phrase “most often”, in fact, its inclusion in this specific context clearly seems to suggest that the MOH considers the definition of terminal illness to be subjective and open to interpretation.

DETERMINATION OF QUALIFIED TERMINAL ILLNESS: The very next sentence seems to back this up. It clarifies that the MOH considers the attending medical practitioner (AMP) and the independent medical practitioner to be empowered by the EOLCA to make the determination about what does and doesn’t qualify as a terminal illness.  “In light of this vague interpretation, it is reasonable to suggest that COVID-19 could be classified as a ‘terminal illness’ depending on the prognosis of the patient and the subjective judgments of the AMP and independent medical practitioner. This feels like we’ve been sold one thing, and been delivered another.” says Kloosterboer.

ELIGIBILITY:  the final paragraph the MOH put this issue beyond doubt when they state (emphasis added): “Eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis; therefore, the Ministry cannot make definitive statements about who is eligible. In some circumstances a person with COVID-19 may be eligible for assisted dying.”

INFORMED DECISION: Detail from the Ministry of Health’s response to the OIA request, 7 December 2021. If you examine the eligibility criteria for assisted suicide and euthanasia, as stated on the MOH website, it becomes easier to see how, given the right circumstances, a COVID-19 diagnosis could qualify:  aged 18 years or over a citizen or permanent resident of New Zealand  suffering from a terminal illness that is likely to end their life within six months in an advanced state of irreversible decline in physical capability experiencing unbearable suffering that cannot be relieved in a manner that the person considers tolerable competent to make an informed decision about assisted dying

PROLONGED ILLNESS: It seems to us that the only possible protective factor here, and it’s an extremely flimsy one, is that all of this hinges on the tenuous grounds of how the phrase ‘terminal illness’ is interpreted. In particular, whether or not the AMP and independent medical practitioner are willing to hold firm to the MOH’s suggestion to us that a terminal illness is a “prolonged disease”. Even then, the term ‘prolonged disease’ is still extremely fraught due to its highly subjective nature. Who is to say that a medical practitioner who considers an illness which lasts longer than a fortnight to be a ‘prolonged disease’ isn’t actually correct in making such a determination?

RAISING OF SERIOUS QUESTIONS: The End of Life Choice Act offers no clarity or robust safeguards that would put this matter beyond doubt, in fact it does just the opposite, leaves the door wide open for abuse. MP Simon O’Connor expressed s as to the expansion of the new law less than a month after it came into force.  “New Zealanders who voted in the referendum in 2020 did not anticipate this law could be used for COVID19 patients”.

THE WORDING OF THE LEGISLATION: The wording of the law The wording of the law was always deliberately broad and interpretable, placing far too much into the judgement of the doctor.” He also said that this development raises serious questions about the problems in the EOLCA.

VERY TIMELY: “The  timely demonstration of how badly drafted the law is. When you consider the lack of key safeguards, and the risky shroud of secrecy that the EOLCA has thrown over the practice of euthanasia and assisted suicide, you can see that those of us warning about this Act shouldn’t have been dismissed so flippantly,” says Simon  O’Connor.  The implications of this are extremely serious. Not simply because of the potential threat COVID-19 poses to our ill-equipped NZ healthcare system, or the fact that vulnerable elderly people are the most affected by the ravages of this illness.

LACK OF TRANSPARENCY: There is also the fact that an unacceptable lack of transparency has been built into the EOLCA which will cloak all of this in a dangerous veil of secrecy that prevents robust public scrutiny. In a nutshell, the poorly considered structure of the EOLCA has now made the COVID-19 pandemic potentially even more dangerous for the people of Aotearoa New Zealand.

#DefendNZ,  were calling on the Ministry Of Health to take urgent action to  ensure that the End Of Life Choice Act cannot be used to provide assisted suicide or euthanasia to patients in New Zealand. Defend NZ had created a petition to send to Parliament calling for urgent amendments to the law including required detailed reporting and required independent witnesses, among other things, and were asking concerned citizens to sign and share it.

UN NATIONS ‘CO-GOVERNANCE’ PLANNED FOR 25 YEARS PRIOR TO 2007

EVERY NEW CITIZEN HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING UNDER THEIR OWN NOSES WHEN IT COMES TO CO GOVERNANCE.

UN ASSEMBLY 13th September 2007 New Zealand under a Labour Government refused to adopt the UN Declaration of Rights for Indigenous Peoples. The Right to ‘Self Determination’. 2010 Pita Sharples Co-leader of the Maori Party with the help and support of John Key attended the UN Assembly in New York, there he adopted the UNDRIP on behalf of all New Zealanders.  Only the public of NZ had no idea it was being adopted all was done deliberately under a veil of secrecy.

He Puapua the pathway to entrenching UNDRIP into every aspect of New Zealand life.  As Julian Batchelor travels the highways and byways of New Zealand he is deliberately being aggressive attacked. The police are reported to stand by and watch as those that attend his co governance meetings are attacked.  Everyone in New Zealand should have at least to facts as to why the UNDRIP was rejected by New Zealand in the first place, and by the way once I give you the following briefing on this perhaps many more people will publicly speak out in opposition of Co-Governance- He Puapua- the plan the entrench the UNDRIP into NZ, dismantle your traditions, beliefs.

New Zealand rejected four provisions in the UNDRIP Articles 26, 28, 32,19. These were incompatible with NZ’s Constitutional and Legal requirements. And the Treaty of Waitangi is the ‘Governing for the Good of ALL NZ Citizens. Indigenous peoples would have veto rights over Natural resources. The right of Veto over the State and its legislations.

Article 26 states declares that Indigenous People have the right to own, use, develop or control lands and territories traditionally owned, occupies or used. NZ rejected this article stating that “adopting this would mean  the entire country of NZ would be caught in this scope of the article. It does not give recognition of lands legally owned by Indigenous and Non -indigenous Peoples, and also it does not take into account tradition, customs nor land tenures

Article 28 of the UN  Declaration addresses ‘Compensation’ (Redress). This also does not consider lands already legally owned by the citizens of New Zealand.  There is no consideration to overlapping Indigenous Claims. ..The entire country of New Zealand would fall within the scope of  Article 28.  .The declaration implied Indigenous peoples had the right to veto over democratic legislature and ‘national resource management.

Veto Rights accorded to Indigenous Peoples implies ‘two classes of citizenship’. Indigenous peoples would have the right to Veto that other people did not have. Rosemary Banks NZ’s Representative to the UN said in her speech “New Zealand is unable to support the UN Declaration. It is incompatible with ‘Democratic’  processes , Legislation, Constitutional arrangements.

The SpinOff reported 6th January 2022 ‘He Puapua: The Indigenous peoples report that caused a political ruckas.. In 2019 a government working group was tasked with creating a plan to realise the UN declaration on the rights of Indigenous peoples (UNDRIP) here in New Zealand. The resulting report, He Puapua, has been described as a roadmap to achieving Vision 2040, the year by which it hopes the report’s objectives are achieved. The year 2040 also marks the 200th anniversary of the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

The reason for all the fuss is the perceived obfuscation of the report – despite being received by then minister for Māori Development, Nanaia Mahuta, in 2019, it hasn’t been released by cabinet and is only circulating now after it was released under OIA last month. Since then, National Party leader Judith Collins has used it to stoke fears over separatism, claiming it will create “two systems by stealth”.

He Puapua is a term that refers to the break between waves, evoking a disruption to our political and legislative norms. It’s also the name of the report from the working group that looked at how Aotearoa should implement the UN declaration..

Please Support Julian Batchelors Co-Governance Tour.

WAKE UP NEW ZEALAND THE UN CHARTER 1945 ‘ALL PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION’ OTHER INTERNATIONATIONAL LAWS ALSO DECLARE THAT ALL PEOPLES HAVE THE RIGHT TO SELF-DETERMINATION.    YOU SHOULD BE HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS  ABOUT THE RADICAL RACIAL SEPERATISM BEING ACTED OUT UNDER YOUR OWN NOSES..

This is what the NZ Herald reports:- Welcome to Sex: Your no-silly-questions guide to sexuality, pleasure and figuring it out by Dr Melissa Kang and Yumi Stynes is being stocked in libraries around New Zealand.. A controversial book about sex aimed at children is a “fabulous” resource and answers the questions kids are asking, a relationship and sexuality educator says. The book, Welcome to Sex: Your no-silly-questions guide to sexuality, pleasure and figuring it out, by former Dolly Doctor and youth health expert Dr Melissa Kang and TV personality Yumi Stynes, is making waves after a library user complained on social media about its inclusion on the shelves… The book, targeted at 11- to 14-year-olds, traverses everything from consent and sexuality to sexual positions.

And although this is  a disgusting  book Tracy Clelland  a lecturer at Canterbury University said “ most parents actually want this book to help educate their children”. And refers to children as young as 9 years old asking about sex toys and anal sex.

Seriously people lets get a grip on this. We really do need to ‘drain the swamp’.  This book doesn’t border on grooming. It is the sexually grooming of our children.  So what do the public libraries have to say, here is one response “The Library and Information Association of New Zealand Aotearoa (Lianza) said it was important for libraries to have an inclusive collections”. Comment from LIANZ) “In situations such as in the case of Welcome to Sex, there may be disagreements over the content. However, libraries don’t make individual decisions for their readers about what is appropriate,

A Hutt City Council spokeswoman said it took all feedback about books in the libraries’ collections seriously and had reassessed Welcome to Sex.

“We support the view of the libraries’ professional body, Lianza, on this book and we will continue to have it in our collections.” The book is also in libraries across the country, including in Auckland, Christchurch and Tauranga.

So, what does Auckland Council head of Library and Learning Services – Catherine Leonard have to say on this  childhood sexuality  grooming book “Our role is not to censor: and “Auckland Libraries are like all other public libraries in NZ, committed to freedom of access to information, we will not supress or remove material simply because it offends people. Can’t help thinking this “What an Ignorant  evil bxtch”, yep though it but dare not say it in public “You know, freedom of speech and all that stuff”   Come-On People who are going to protect our children if we as adults are not prepared to front up and loudly speak up?  HANDS OF OUR CHILDRFEN NOW…
