Aly Cook, board member of the New Zealand Outdoors & Freedom Party (NZOFP), says the time for inquiries and “lessons learned” is over.

Following the release of the Royal Commission’s Phase Two report, Cook is calling for immediate criminal investigation against the officials who suppressed evidence of harm from the novel mRNA vaccine and those who continued to promote it, despite being aware of the risks of myocarditis,  pericarditis and other serious harm and even death.

Cook, whose son has a clinically diagnosed and ACC-accepted vaccine injury, has dismissed New Zealand First’s call for a Select Committee as an insulting stalling tactic designed to avoid the courtroom.

The Erasure of Clinical Evidence

“Thousands of bereaved and injured New Zealanders have already poured their hearts out to the Covid Royal Commission of Inquiry. We gave them our evidence, and we were ignored,” says Cook. “Inquiry Chair Grant Illingworth’s opening statements made it clear he viewed the evidence of the injured as something that wasn’t ‘based in science.’

“I have a simple question for the Commission: Since when do ECGs, blood tests, and formal clinical diagnoses from cardiologists count as ‘theory’ rather than science? We are not a hypothesis. Our families deaths and  injuries are recorded in black and white. ACC has already paid out over $19 million for vaccine injuries and deaths. This is a fiscal admission of a medical catastrophe. To ignore a formal diagnosis in favour of a political narrative is the height of anti-science.”

Jurisdictional Failure: Why a Select Committee is a Dead End

Cook argues that pushing families into a Select Committee is a strategic move to avoid genuine accountability for the harm caused.

“Forcing the vaccine injured to relive their hell in front of a Select Committee is a secondary trauma designed to waste time,” says Cook. “More importantly, Select Committees have no jurisdiction to investigate criminal matters. They are legally toothless. We do not need a political talk-fest to ‘learn lessons’ from the death and maiming of our children. We need a criminal investigation into the individuals who looked at the July and August 2021 data and chose to hide it.”

The Criminal Timeline of Suppression

The NZOFP points to an undeniable timeline of suppression that led to permanent harm:

• July 2021 TAG Meeting: Officials explicitly stated: “Anyone who develops confirmed myocarditis and/or pericarditis from the first dose should not receive a second dose.” This was withheld from the public.
• August 2021 TAG Meeting: Minutes show officials “actioned” the removal of advice regarding increased dosing intervals—advice that could have protected young hearts from inflammation.

The 1968 Triple Trawler Tragedy

Last Tuesday 50 people had the pleasure of hearing Lillian’s daughter, Kapiti resident Virginia McKenzie, speaking about the role of her mother in transforming safety regulations and conditions in the British fishing industry.

After the sinking of the fishing trawlers St Romanus, Kingston Peridot and Ross Cleveland off the coast of Iceland in the winter of 1968 with loss of 58 lives, Lillian Bilocca set out to improve safety at sea and reform the industry.

It is estimated that at least 6,000 Hull fisherman perished at sea between 1834 and 1980. Things had to change

Bilocca and friends take action
When the news of the Ross Cleveland sinking in February 1968, watched by the crews of other trawlers in an Icelandic fjord, reached Hull, Lillian Bilocca, whose son Ernie was a fisherman, exclaimed Enough is enough, She went down to the docks with a petition to demand reforms in trawler safety and fishing regulations.

In the late 1960s, British women were second class citizens with roles determined by men – producing babies, bringing up the kids, doing the cooking, washing and house cleaning. And in fishing communities =- filleting fish. The ladies were persona non grata on the wharves because that was men’s territory.

Lillian didn’t care, and along with friends she protested on the docks and with other concerned people led marches through the city escorted by police. During their campaign the protestors were abused and vilified, and even spat upon.

Lillian and three others eventually went to London with a list of proposed reforms to present to Yorkshireman Harold Wilson’s Labour government.

Reforms agreed to
Senior ministers agree to all the suggested changes and these were soon passed into law.
These included:

• Tighter regulation on the design and construction of trawlers. (A major reason for many boats sinking was the icing up of the superstructure.)
• More and better safety equipment.
• Legal standards for radio equipment, operators, and reporting procedures. Every boat had to have a radio operator.
• Improvements to employment requirements, training of fishermen and working practices.
• Life jackets and emergency clothing on life-rafts.

(When the Ross Cleveland sank, one fisherman, Harry Eddom, survived, but two others on his life-raft froze to death.)

The legacy

It was one of the greatest acts of civil disobedience in the 20th Century. These women turned an industry on its head, and saved countless lives. –Journalist Ian Cuthbert

The women who fronted the campaign were called The Headscarf Revolutionaries and the book about them and their campaign by Brian Lavery bears this title. There is no doubt that the reforms saved many lives and the numbers lost at sea dropped dramatically.

But Lillian and others continued to be abused, ostracized and criticized by many, notably by men, trawler companies and in the media. It was only after she died aged 59 in 1988 that she was acknowledged widely as a great reformer. The book came out, music was composed, plaques and paintings appeared on buildings. Many in the media now acknowledged her as one of Hull’s most distinguished past citizens.

A true revolutionary

The best primary source on Lillian Bilocca, daughter Virginia McKenzie, did her mother proud at the Kapiti Historical Society talk. Lillian was a true working class hero who was courageous and focused, and refused to be deflected from her desire to reform the fishing industry and make it safer.

She succeeded in achieving her goals and must rank as one of Britain’s great revolutionaries.

If the stoush in the Middle East continues until May then NZ will be in a serious situation, particularly with diesel — rationing will be needed.

In a stunning betrayal, the Bank of England has announced plans to scrub Winston Churchill and other iconic British figures from the nation’s banknotes, ludicrously swapping them out for images of wildlife like hedgehogs, badgers, and otters. 

This comes after a so-called public consultation where nature themes supposedly won out, but detractors see it as the latest chapter in a relentless campaign to dismantle British heritage under the guise of ‘progress’.

Conservatives and history defenders are fuming, labeling the decision a cowardly capitulation to woke sensitivities that deem giants like Churchill too “divisive.” As globalist forces push to rewrite the past, this shift reeks of an agenda to erase the very leaders who built and defended the free world—forwarding a relentless pattern.

Winston Churchill will soon disappear from UK banknotes, as the cigar-toting, wartime leader makes way for creatures like hedgehogs and badgers. After a public consultation, the next generation of pound notes will feature native British wildlife, according to the Bank of England.… pic.twitter.com/gfRYz5B8JU

The Bank of England revealed the overhaul following a consultation that drew over 44,000 responses, with 60 percent favoring nature over historical figures, architecture, or cultural milestones. Current notes feature Churchill on the £5, Jane Austen on the £10, JMW Turner on the £20, and Alan Turing on the £50. All will be phased out in favor of native species, plants, and landscapes, albeit with King Charles III remaining on the front.

A second consultation this summer will finalize specifics, drawing from a shortlist curated by wildlife experts. The bank claims this boosts security features and celebrates the UK’s environment, but the timing—amid ongoing attacks on British icons—raises eyebrows.
