The Eco Socialist Manifesto was jointly launched in Paris in 2001 by  Joel Kovel and Michael Lowy during a workshop on ecology and socialism. It was quoted “The deepest shadow that hangs over us is neither terror, environmental collapse not global recession, it is internalized fatalism. Kovel is known as the father of Eco Socialism he was a Green party ember is the US. He ran for US Senate in 1998. Kovel was an advisory editor of Socialist Resistance.  The Eco Socialist Manifesto refers to a reasoning as to preventing crisis and the necessity for overcoming it. The Eco Socialist Internationalists bought this into being. Namely a ‘chaotic world order to spread across the world like gangrene

The crisis of ecology of societal breakdown, the demands of eco socialism, the imperialistic one world governance. Greenwashing, at whatever costs it take, human costs, costs to lives and costs to economy, the plundering of nations. The hand in glove of corrupt subservient states, elite locals and  transnational corporations collaborating with heads of UN Members States, academia, NGO’s and others that are highly rewarded for doing so. Profound unsustainability, this must be changed to have a utopian future worth living. This is Socialism on steroids. This should have been set fire to on the rubbish heap of history. Through the reinterpretation of Socialism eg Eco Socialism thus Socialism on steroids has become mans worst nightmare, endangering humanity itself. Elaborating, collaborating and embracing Eco Socialism is what some call Eco Fascist Cultism. The death of a nation.

I became much more interested in Eco  Socialist Fascism, and the deaths within nations, and the non transparency around Eco-Socialist Fascism. The Eco Fascist National Socialism of the Nazi ecology component. Eco fascism. The ‘Roots of Blood and Soil’ Germany, the science of ecology, Green leftist politics, fanatical socialist nationalism. Hitlers Nazism the  home of naturalism and socialist nationalism better known as fanatical socialist nationalism, the cause of peasantry, which led to the welfare of the land. “When one sees nature in a necessary connectedness and interrelationship, then all things are equally important-shrub, worm, plant, human, stone, nothing first or last, but all one single unity.” Hitlers veganism – purity of the Aryan race environmental Eco Socialist Fascism. The deadly connection between love of the land, namely the planet – the worship of Gaia Goddess mother earth and militant racist nationalism. Eco-Socialist Fascism.

Researching Eco Socialism I came across an article in the Sydney Morning Herald dated 15th March 2019 5.58 pm. Entitled ECO-FASCISM and the Aussie Shooter by Michael Koziol. What I read really took me off guard. Marx advocated a communist economic system. Eco Socialism taking control of the means of production. As Tarrant self described himself an eco fascist. As Scott Morrison confirmed that the Australian had been arrested in New Zealand and that he had been briefed on the manifesto described as a ‘work of hate’. 74 pages of the Australian’s dossier regurgitated familiar objections to immigration and multiculturalism, laments the decaying culture of the white European West. He made little reference to Australia in his manifesto, in his view ‘Australia was no more than a ‘European colony’ “simply an offshoot its its British colonists and a ;ack lustre one at that. He dismissed the idea he could have been radicalised by ideas given to him by friends and associates, the stated that “those around him were the typical Australians, apathetic and for the most part apolitical. He did not identify as an Australian despite being born there. The news reported that the gunman said. “The origins of my language is European, my culture is European, my political beliefs are European, my philosophical beliefs are European, my identity is European and, most importantly, my blood is European,” he wrote. “What is an Australian but a drunk European? Kidding, but Australia is a European colony, particularly of British stock and thereby an extension of Europe.”  The dossier compiled by a self described terrorist, reveals an obsession with violent uprisings against Islam. Describes his country of his birth ‘ little more than an outpost of Europe with prosperity for political apathy’. He described himself as an ‘Ethno Nationalist Eco-fascist’ having previously identified as a communist, an anarchist and a libertarian. He wrote that he believed in ‘ethnic autonomy for all peoples with a focus on the preservation of nature and the natural order”. He was a self described ‘Ethno Nationalist Eco Fascist’’ Eco fascism the darker shade of green. That is environmentalism  and progressive leftist politics. Aggressive, violent white nationalist espousing eco fascist political beliefs indicating a troubling trend in environmental politics

Brenton Tarrant, the Christchurch shooter, and Patrick Crusius, the El Paso Shooter, explicitly utilized argumentative strategies taken from eco-fascist literature bases. Twitter thread sparked the largest discussion of eco-fascism ever. Fascists on the platform Telegram espouse the belief fascism is inherently natural.

 By studying the rhetorical techniques and appeals of eco-fascist digital rhetoric, this thesis adds to an emerging conversation regarding the (re)emergence of eco-fascism. Although they refer to Far Right let me explain that. When you go as far right as you possible can and to the far left as far as you possible can there both meet in the same sphere is in this Eco Fascism.

The NZ Muslims are the Shia Community, researching Turkey, the ethno national using a political tool and the reason for ‘sunnification’ The European Turks to follow this model depends on their level of acceptance of the society they live in. Eco Nationalist Fascism had entered Turkey. I have this questioning of the mind, did the Australian shooter have this yearning for his visits , and extended lengthy visit to Turkey  because of meeting with like minded Eco Fascists? I have never read his manifesto and do not intend to, have never wanted to and never will. At the time he visited Turkey the Tourism industry was warning westerners of the risk of visiting Turkey of the high percentage of Sunni Muslims in Turkey and unrest. But obviously Tarrant felt comfortable going there, and not at risk at all. The Royal Christchurch Inquiry 17 Community Questions were responded to by the Inquiry. One of those questions was “Were the  Muslims in Christchurch fearful of anyone, any group before March 15th 2019.

The Royal Inquiry response to that question was “In the three years up to the Christchurch Terrorist attacks they stated they were fearful of Daesh at the time of Ramadan”. (Not Right Wing Extremism, nor White Supremacy). And now through my research of Eco-Socialism I stumble across the a newspaper article reported on the days of the attacks in Christchurch where the Australian shooter as he is called as an Ethno White Nationalist Eco Fascist.  But this was not the only news article or academic thesis I had read about the shooter and another shooter with a manifesto namely the ‘El Paso shooting that killed 22 people, as he ranted about plastic waste and over consumption. “If we get rid of enough people, then our life can become more sustainable” he concluded. Another article 7th August 2019 ‘What is eco-Fascism’ The ideology behind attacks in El Paso and Christchurch. (Fears of climate change, immigration and overpopulation are driving a new wave of violence. By Luke Darby Aug 7th 2019. He referred the El Paso shooter and his manifesto “An Inconvenient Truth’ after Al Gores 2006 Climate Change documentary. The shooter wrote in his manifesto. “The decimation of the environment is creating a massive burden for future generations. Corporations are heading the destruction of our environment by shamelessly overharvesting resources,” he wrote. “If we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can be more sustainable.” He also blamed America’s consumer culture for environmental damage. Crusius also claimed that he was inspired by the shooter in Christchurch, New Zealand, who killed 51 people at two mosques and, in his own rambling manifesto, referred to himself as an “eco-fascist.” He described immigration as “environmental warfare,” and claimed “there is no nationalism without environmentalism.”

According to the FBI, ecoterrorism is “the use or threatened use of violence of a criminal nature against innocent victims or property by an environmentally-oriented, subnational group for environmental-political reasons, or aimed at an audience beyond the target, often of a symbolic nature.” For many, this likely evokes the image of tree-huggers with bolt-cutters, like the Animal Liberation Front which started breaking into animal testing labs in the ’80s, releasing test subjects and destroying equipment.

Tarrant’s self description reported by those whom had read the manifesto was he described himself ‘not as a conservative, not a Nazi, as a ‘eco naturalist- an ‘eco-fascists’

REFERRING TO ‘ THE RE-EMERGENCE OF ECO-FACISM: WHITE NATIONALUS, SACRIFICE AND PROTO FASCISM IN THE CIRCULATION OF DIGITAL RHETORIC IN THE ECOLOGICAL FAR RIGHT. 152 Pages PDF authored by Jacob Kenton Smith MA and Mentor Leslie A Hahner PhD – the techniques, appeals of eco fascists

THE PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT: Principles for effectively co-governing natural resources in New Zealand.

1.2 Many New Zealanders are taking action to conserve the environment. Throughout New Zealand, iwi, hapū, and community groups are working to monitor, protect, and enhance the health of their environment.

1.3 Some natural resources are “co-governed” – the work to restore or conserve them is led as a result of negotiated decision-making arrangements between iwi and/or other groups, central government, and/or local government. Many of these arrangements have come about after long negotiations, including Treaty of Waitangi settlements. The arrangements have many legal forms and include statutory bodies, trusts, and other relationships.

1.4We looked at a selection of these arrangements to identify what works well and what does not. We wanted to identify factors that need to be considered when setting up and maintaining effective co-governance arrangements.

What we looked at

1.5 We looked at eight examples of co-governance and how co-governance is being used for environmental projects (see Figure 1). The examples are:- Waikato River Authority;- Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority (Auckland); – Te Waihora Co-Governance Agreement (Lake Ellesmere, Canterbury); – Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes Strategy Group; – Ngā Poutiriao o Mauao (Tauranga); – Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust (Waikato);- Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Reserves Board; and Parakai Recreation Reserve Board.

Locations of the co-governance examples we looked at

1.6 All the examples involved iwi and local authorities. Some also included community groups. Some arose out of Treaty of Waitangi claims settlements. Others were voluntary, including one that was later formalised through a Treaty settlement.

1.7 We reviewed participants’ experiences and perceptions and used that information to identify what helps to set up and operate co-governance arrangements successfully.

1.8 Although our main interest was in co-governance, we looked at examples that were sometimes a mixture of co-governance and co-management. We identified principles that apply generally to both co-governance and co-management.

1.9 In resource management work, the terms “co-governance” and “co-management” are both used to describe negotiated arrangements between iwi, central government, local government, and/or local groups to achieve effective management of an environmental or conservation resource.

1.10 These terms are sometimes used interchangeably because their definitions are not well understood. Governance focuses on strategic matters, while management is concerned with day-to-day operational responsibilities. When used correctly, the terms can describe the extent of decision-making powers (see Figure 2).
Comparing co-management and co-governance

CO- MANAGEMENT: The collaborative process of decision-making and problem solving within the administration of conservation policy

CO-GOVERNANCE: Arrangements in which ultimate decision-making authority resides with a collaborative body exercising devolved power, this is where power and responsibility are shared between government and local stakeholders

1.11 Where natural resources are managed as part of or after a Treaty settlement, co-governance often means that there are equal numbers of iwi representatives and council members involved. Usually (an exception is the Waikato River Authority), councils retain final decision-making powers over the management of natural resources. This is in keeping with councils’ responsibilities under the Resource Management Act 1991 and the Local Government Act 2002.

1.12 In the examples we looked at, some were about governance and others more about management. In some, people’s roles included elements of both governance and management.

1.13 The Waikato-Tainui Raupatu Claims (Waikato River) Settlement Act 2010 set up the Waikato River Authority as a co-governance entity. The Waikato River Authority sets the direction for managing the Waikato River in its “Vision and Strategy” document. This document is considered to be part of the Waikato Regional Policy Statement. It is binding on all national, regional, and district policy and decisions for the management of the river.

1.14 The Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority is also a co-governance entity. Auckland Council is responsible for managing the Maunga, under the direction of the Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority.

1.15 The Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes Strategy Group is charged with providing leadership in putting into effect its vision and strategy for the Rotorua lakes and their catchments. As the governance group, it provides the direction, vision, and strategic oversight for the lakes programme. The strategy group needs to approve any decisions about funding under the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes Programme.

1.16 Local authorities usually control the creation, membership, and disestablishment of joint committees. However, when they are part of Treaty redress, the creation and membership of these committees are agreed between councils and iwi and provided for in Treaty legislation. This is the case for the Rotorua Te Arawa Lakes Strategy Group. The Te Arawa Lakes Settlement Act 2006 provides for the establishment of a permanent joint committee that can be disestablished only with the agreement of all parties. This means that the Te Arawa Lakes Trust is an equal member with the regional and district councils.

1.17 As we have mentioned, some of the examples we looked at contained elements of co-governance and co-management. The parties to the Te Waihora Co-Governance Agreement told us that their arrangement was “one step away from true co-governance”. However, the partners were clear that they wanted an arrangement that allowed for some form of co-governance:

Ngāi Tahu own the lake bed via the treaty settlement, which must mean something. It’s at the least a very powerful symbol, but not just symbolic. [You] can’t dismiss their view, even though they have no [Resource Management Act] powers.

1.18 Importantly, in this instance, the parties are clear about their limits but also clear about where they want to get to: “[It’s] not quite co-governance … The arrangement starts at co-management, with the mechanism to move to co-governance.” The parties’ agreement confirmed their commitment to “strive toward appropriate vesting of decision-making powers in the Parties as co-governors over the Te Waihora catchment”.

1.19 The members of Ngā Poutiriao o Mauao are clear that they are co-managers. The Mauao Trust, as the owners of the historic reserve, are the governors.

1.20 In the Maungatautari Ecological Island Trust’s case, the Trust has a co-governance structure, where the board is co-chaired by a mana whenua representative and a 3).landowner representative. The Trust members maintain that the co-governance regime ensures that tikanga Māori is incorporated in governance and day-to-day management decisions.

1.21 Responsibility for managing the scenic reserve rests with Waipa District Council. The Council has a working relationship with the Trust to deliver the desired outcomes. For the land within the fenced perimeter but outside the reserve, it is intended that the Trust will manage the land as though part of the scenic reserve. Landowner covenants would cover this management arrangement.

1.24 Because each co-governance arrangement was different, we had lines of questioning to guide our conversations. Basing our questions on our expectations of good governance and leadership, we focused on:-clarity of purpose; roles and responsibilities; capability; accountability and integrity; information and reporting; and financial sustainability.

Structure of this report

1.25- In Part 2, we discuss the importance of effective relationships when setting up and putting into effect co-governance arrangements.

1.26 In Part 3, we discuss how parties need to build and maintain a shared understanding of what they are trying to achieve.

1.27 In Part 4, we discuss how parties need to put in place the processes and understandings about how they will work together to achieve their purpose.

1.28 In Part 5, we discuss how important it is to involve people with the right experience and capacity in setting up and putting into effect co-governance arrangements.

1.29 In Part 6, we discuss how parties need to plan for accountability reporting and financial sustainability.

1.30 Appendices 1-6 provide background information about six of the co-governance examples.

The Guardian reported 4^th April 2023 Jacinda Ardern to tackle online extremism in new role as ‘Special Envoy’ for Christchurch Call. Working alongside international governments and social media companies to target content online. Prime minister Chris Hipkins announced on Tuesday evening that he had appointed Ardern as special envoy for the Christchurch Call, a newly created position. Her relationships with leaders and technology companies and her drive for change will help increase the pace and ambition of the work we are doing,” he said. he Christchurch Call project calls on signatory nations to adopt and enforce laws that ban objectionable material, and set guidelines on how traditional media can report acts of terrorism without amplifying them. Ardern said “since stepping down as Prime Minister she believed that her resignation could lower the temperature in NZ Political discourse after deep division emerged around vaccinations, the country’s COVID response. It did occur to me that my departure might just take a bit of heat out,” Ardern said in one of two Tuesday night television appearances. “If it did, that would be good for New Zealand,” she said. “I knew I was a flashpoint for some people, and again [while] that wasn’t the basis of my decision, I hoped it would be a consequence of my decision.

Ardern also announced she would be joining the board of trustees of Prince William’s Earthshot Prize, which awards five £1m prizes each year for work providing solutions to major environmental problems. Ardern said she “believed Earthshot’s power to encourage and spread not only the innovation we desperately need, but also optimism”. Prince William said that Ardern would “bring a rich infusion of new thinking to our mission”. Prince William and The Royal Foundation created the Earthshot Prize, a global research project for innovative solutions to environmental challenges that supposedly face the planet

Who is on the Earthshot Team .Prince William. Founder and President.* Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah.* Cate Blanchett.* Sir David Attenborough. *Ernest Gibson.* Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim. *Indra Nooyi. * Jack Ma.and Jacinda Ardern. The Earthshot Prize is supported by our Global Alliance, an unprecedented network of organisations worldwide. group of leading global organisations and philanthropists which act as strategic funding partners. The Earthshot Prize coincided on 21^st Sept 2022 with New York Climate Week described as a ‘summit in partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies with a line up of speaker State and business leaders, philanthropists and activist addressing the subject of climate doom and gloom. Hosted by Michael Bloomberg. Jacinda Ardern, Bill Gates, Christina Figueres  as speakers.  And David Attenburgh World Wild Life Friend funded by the UN.

Ardern’s newly created special position will “represent New Zealand’s continued commitment to push for greater protection online from terrorist and violent extremist content,” the prime minister’s office said in a statement. Ardern will report directly to the prime minister, and will work closely with France as co-leaders. She will begin her duties later this month, on 17 April. She will not accept remuneration for the role. Currently, a person who had held the office of Prime Minister for not less than two years – whether continuously or in total – can receive $11,400 for each complete year they served in the office up to a maximum of $57,000 per year until they die. Their spouse or partner is also paid an annuity at half that yearly rate.

As Politico News reports 4^th April 2023 Jacinda Ardern is back and she has been appointed by Chris Hipkins PM as ‘Special Envoy’ for the Christchurch Call. backed by countries including the United States and Canada; tech giants such as Google and Meta are participants. Macron welcomed Ardern’s appointment. “My dear Jacinda Ardern, I am pleased that you will continue to work alongside us as Special Envoy for the Christchurch Call as we fight terrorist and violent extremist content online. Jacinda Ardern may not be physically sitting the  House.. No the elephant still in the room has not left… Hipkins just appointed her a new special role, as she continues her journey  as special Envoy a self described ‘The Only Source Of Truth’.

Arderns promise to ‘Build Back Better’ to reshape New Zealand. Greater need for Big Bold Transformations. It will be conveniently comfortable to get around. In 2030 the govt chose to invest its multi billion dollar infrastructure fund in cycleways bike paths, public transport. Oops 1,000 cancellation of bus services this week or is it again next week or was it last week. But its happened and happening. But she said don’t worry the buses and trains run on time and they are frequent. Take the kids to school on your bike. Its cheaper to buy an electric car. Oh by the way if the country runs out of fuel, then the governor general will be confiscating yours under International Law. Never mind we have 8 days of fuel left. Don’t worry be happy. You’ll be happy when you own nothing. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/04/jacinda-ardern-to-tackle-online-extremism-in-new-role-as-special-envoy-for-christchurch-call

Byron C Clark’s recently authored book titled FEAR ‘The NZ Hostile Underworld of Extremists’. Content includes names we probably all know -Groundswell- Howl of The Protest-Brice Mckenzie, The Agriculture Action Group, Vinny Eastwood, Lee Williams, Brian and Hannah Tamaki, Counterspin, Voices For Freedom, Carol Sakey other individuals and Freedoms Groups. All labeled as New Zealand’s hostile underworld extremists’. And that’s not the end of it, he also gives seminars at Massey University on Misinformation, Disinformation referring to ‘Alt-right’ in NZ society. Clark’s seminars focus on university students and staff. Clark has been a writer for Fightback (Socialist Marxist publication, Overland and David Farriers Webworm. He describes his activism as forms of video with humorous  and educational content’. The Massey University seminar theme ‘Who-why and where to from now?’ Clarks seminars are organized by Roger McEwan of Massey University.

Byron Clark’s Massey University ‘CARE ACTIVIST IN RESIDENT’ Anti-Racism Intervention with Byron Clark, 18th-22nd October 2021 covering Digital Hate in Aotearoa’, livestreaming countering online Hate and Misinformation., holding workshops, social media platforms, utilizing institutions and discussion on radicalization and de-radicalization. RNZ interview Byron Clark 4/2/2023 a discussion on Clark’s book ‘FEAR’. Clark said he had been criticized as being Far Left, he said “he does no reject the label”. Hence self – admittance he is ‘Far Left”. Stuff News article ‘Alt-right and conspiracy has grown out of the shadows (15/5/2022) again refers to Roger McEwan Massey Senior lecturer. Roger McEwan interviews Byron Clark on the ‘occupation of Parliaments grounds’ referring to Voices of Freedom, Freedom & Rights Coalition, Counterspin as pushing radical action, he said.

Newshub 27/08/2022 t ‘Anti-Governments activity, protests not going away anytime soon’ reports disinformation researcher Byron Clark, saying “ Kiwi’s should get used to this over the next 12 months lead up to 2023 election”, he refers to Outdoors Party, Freedom and Rights Coalition of New Nation and Vision NZ. Clark also referred to the arrests of Counterspin Hannah Spierer and Kelvyn Alp. In another article Byron Clark stated that “Counterspin would use their arrest to fuel conspiracy theory ideas such as ‘cracking down of critical voices of critical journalists’. A worlds view of government becoming tyrannical. I personally undertook my research on this ‘ Freedom of the Press Foundation report ‘journalist arrests increased from 2019 by 1,200%. A record number of journalists have been jailed worldwide by authoritarian government in 2020 as govts cracked down on coverage of CVD19, as they tried to suppress information causing political unrest 15/12/2020)

BYRON CLARK’S BOOK REVIEW ‘FEAR’: 2nd March 2023 by Dr. Chris Wilson Program Director, Master of Conflict and Terrorism Studies Auckland University- There is need for clearer definitions of key terms, the need for much more evidence for the claims made by Byron Clark. He never defines terms, uses them interchangeably. Byron Clark’s book ‘FEAR’ offers no definition of ‘Extremism’, has used the word ‘Extremism to promote his book  and the word ‘Extremism’ not only promotes the book but is within the content of the book itself. Inclusion of the names mentioned in the book is puzzling and unconvincing, most have not legitimized violence. Those opposing vaccinations or spreading disinformation does NOT qualify a group being called ‘Far Right’ because many on the ‘Left’ and ‘In Between’ do that. There is a lack of definition and conflation of different groups, ideologies, goals and evidence. The books ‘FAILS’ to show the ‘Extremist’ movement is even present in New Zealand or even important. It ‘FAILS’ to provide a compelling case that is namely ‘Far right, Alt-right or ‘Extremist’…There is NO  base of evidence.

VOICES FOR FREEDOM: The group has not expressed  any of the views Clark has listed and none are provided in the chapter of the book that refers to them. Chris Wilson said “Whatever one thinks of the groups opposition to vaccination, lockdowns and other measures to control the spread of COVID19 this does NOT make them ‘Far Right’, they do NOT seek violence”. As for the ‘Outdoors Party’ Wilson said “there is even less evidence provided in the chapters that relate this”

GROUNDSWELL: The apparent presence in NZ of a racist Rhodesian pride movement provides no data or evidence to the claims made. The back cover of Byron Clark’s book states ‘New Zealand has one of the highest concentration of Alt-right groups compared to other nations. “This is a great marketing tool, because it will understandably shock browsers in bookstores and be repeated as a fact at parties around the country. But NO EVIDENCE IS PROVIDED FOR THE CLAIM.CHRIS WILSON ADDED: When writing about these groups care needs to be taken as to how they are described, not to exaggerate their size, intentions, organizational links. .. Book Review ‘Valuable but FLAWED’ (My personal perspective is that obviously Byron Clark is narcissistic, an obsessive liar and is busy following the money)

Politicizing, sexualizing our children in the classroom and more..’Misinformation and Disinformation’ being taught in schools, funded by Stats NZ. (Govt) . Namely Byron Clark’s and Ardern’s ‘Only Source Of Truth’ –( Carol Sakey).

Chris Hipkins announces the removal of Media Studies in High Schools in 2023. The dropping of Level 1 ‘Media Studies (NCEA). This is being called a big mistake by the Association of Media Educators saying that High School Media Studies advances critical thinking and foundational media literacy. How media texts are constructed and disseminated, different view points that shape reading and texts.  Fewer media study courses will reduce the number of qualified teachers of Media Studies in schools, the pathway to Media Studies will disappear. However Chris Hopkins talked about his concerns, the danger of people falling for COVID19 misinformation (4/3/2021). NOTE: The Government National library holds Byron Clark’s book ‘FEAR’.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF MEDIA EDUCATORS “ I find it hard to believe that Chris Hipkins, as minister of health & COVIS Response Minister can warn how everyone must avoid misinformation with regard to dealing with COVID, but then as Education Minister removes the Media Studies that equips students with the skills to avoid misinformation- there is a dissonance happening here” Judith Collins states “The problem with secondary schools now is there is too much photography and too much media and other ‘Woke’ subjects”. (More dumbing down of education, stopping the young from using their own thought processes”- Carol Sakey)

SCHOOL STUDENTS TAUGHT ABOUT CONSPIRACY THEORIES, FAKE NEWS, MISINFORMATION: Urgent calls for schools to change their curriculum, to teach students how to identify conspiracy theories, fake news’ News article refers to ‘Tohatoha’, a group that is funded by Stats NZ (Govt) that teaches school students and librarians to spot fake news and conspiracy theory.

Tohatoha runs a 10 week programme for 24 schools per term Mandy Henk is the CEO of ‘Toharoha’, that. Jan Tinetti Labour’s Education Minister stated she is working on further continuous funding for ‘Tohatoha’ so the school Disinformation, Misinformation, Fake News, Conspiracy Theory programs can be continuous and consistent.
