Australia’s satellite operator, Foxtel, has notified RT on Saturday that it is suspending the channel’s broadcast distribution in Australia as part of its services “in view of concern about the situation in Ukraine.” The operator will then further “consider” its rights under the channel license agreement, it added, without elaborating on any potential additional measures.
Foxtel is a satellite operator covering all of Australia’s territory and has its own over-the-top (OTT) server allowing media services to be offered to the audience directly via the internet. It has around 3.8 million clients.
It’s likely this has been a directive of ScoMo and the ‘suspension’ also affects NZ. The old saying is that the first victim of war is truth, so all we are going to get on the Legacy Media is the Globalists version of events, but we’ve gotten used to that about coronavirus and ‘Climate Change’. Apart from RT, https://sputniknews.com/ is another source of news balance. —Eds

Let’s examine the evidence.
Introduction:
Two weeks ago, the Jacinda government and the police lost control of the narrative after images of police beating up women circulated around the world. We wondered how they would respond to regain control of the narrative. The authorities are attempting to regain control on the ground and to turn people against the protesters this week and it has not been pleasant, and, at times violent. As you read and view the photos and videos, I want you to question what you see on MSM and from the Sauce of all Truth: Go with your gut instinct, and common-sense: Cast aside the conditioning we have all been subjected to by torrent of lies, better known as propaganda. Keep asking, then answering as best you can questions such as:
Who is causing this violence and who are on the receiving end: the police, the protesters, or maybe even a third party?
Are they using excessive violence, while covering it up and lying, and doing so with the assistance of MSM?
To remind yourself of the day when the police, Trevor Mallard and Company lost the upper hand, here it is:
So, to regain lost ground, in addition to mounting a charm offensive, are they also resorting to dirty and underhand tactics, including using violence to manipulate the public’s view of the protesters? Let’s explore this possibility.
As the saying goes: A picture is worth a thousand lies!
This man received a free face-massage, two days ago, complete with eye-gouging, courtesy of one of Coster’s Mob members.
Let me be very clear: Individually, or in small groups, the police have been great to deal with. In fact, many are Maori and Pasifika these days, some presumably, are related to my partner and our children. They are decent, peace-loving people who joined the Force, proud to serve their community. They are our family and our friends: Let’s keep it that way.
Many police, presumably the majority, and not just the ones at Parliament, will be extremely unhappy to be required to act with force and violence against the people they have sworn to serve and protect. Unfortunately, there are always a few bad apples in the crate who spoil it for everyone else; in this case, a few cops, better described as thugs and wannabe MMA fighters.
One must question the police leadership, their competence and their motivations, and those higher above in the chain of command and not heap all of the blame onto the police on the ground.
Historically,“I was only following orders”, is the most common excuse used by footsoldiers when defending accusations against them of committing war crimes: However, this is not a valid defence under international law.
It is common knowledge that at least 100 police officers have resigned since the protest began two weeks ago. We can understand why and good on them for doing the right thing!
Are the police using unreasonable force, and is the Mainstream Media covering it up; literally?
Winston Peter’s interview is worth listening to before proceeding, here:
Now, let’s look at some of the evidence behind these allegations against the protesters.
Watch this video and make up your own mind: is this evidence enough of a police officer punching and eye-gouging a person? Would this stand up in a court of law? Is Stuff deliberately concealing it?
Here are photos kindly supplied by the gentleman who was on the receiving end of this alleged excessive use of force:
Here is an interview with a paramedic who attended to the injured people after the morning’s violence:
Are the police and the Jacinda government using Agent Provocateur tactics to distort the public’s view of the protesters?
“Anon” wrote:
“subversive actions of people posing as protestors is an underhand and dishonest tactic that doesn’t fit with New Zealand values.”
The majority of the protesters, by far, are kind and peaceful people; they consist of New Zealanders from all walks of life who genuinely want an end to mandates. Many of them are health professionals who have been mandated out of their jobs and I know many of them personally. They are not violent or confused people; they are the opposite.
The Mainstream Media typically portrays the protesters as a mish-mash of hateful anti-vaxers; they are not and there is no confusion about why they are camped in front of Parliament – although some want more, some less, they all want an end to mandates. They want to be heard by those they elected to serve them, and who have, for two years, chosen to ignore their cries of anguish as their rights and freedoms have been progressively removed.
Many of the protesters have been maimed by the vaccine or have had loved ones die or be maimed, or lost to suicide. Many have lost their businesses, their jobs and, some have lost their homes. At the very least, they are asking for the mandates to end. Freedom to go about their lives without the interference of Jacinda government overreach and freedom to decide what they do with their body. They are there to protect the next generation from what the evidence shows is an unsafe drug that we still know very little about.
They are asking for the end of the mandates, including a halt to what is coercion to inject the entire population with a drug that is clearly neither safe nor effective: Let’s be clear about that.
They are not camped at Parliament with violent intentions: they simply want to be heard.
Some will agree the protest has attracted a handful of trouble-makers, including some of the mentally ill people who now populate Wellington’s streets, but they have been well-controlled by the movement. However, within our midst, there have been some most unusual trouble-makers who cannot be so easily be explained away. Let’s now focus on these people.
There has been a handful of people who just do not fit into the gathering at Parliament which is more like a peace and love concert than a protest. The people I’m referring to look more like the white supremacist gang members that New Zealand has so reluctantly accepted as deportees from Australia over recent years. Not that I’m saying these infiltrators are members of white supremacist gangs or mates with the foreign terrorist, Brenton Tarrant, but they wouldn’t be visually out of place if they were.
“An agent provocateur is a person who is employed by the government or the police to encourage certain groups of people to break the law, so they can arrest them.”
Take a look look at this bloke who caused trouble yesterday morning (more about him later). Nice glasses, by the way. What’s your lens prescription?
Is he a gang member? Do you recognise him? What’s the fancy ear microphone for?
Are Agents Provocateurs being planted within the protest movement, as alleged, with the intention of causing trouble, and creating photo opportunities for a bought and manipulated MSM? And, just who is provoking and dishing out the violence: The police, the protesters, or a third party?
Read this message received on the night of 22 February from a woman whose father is inside the Freedom Village:
“Police intervention has again turned ugly and the danger to the people is at its highest point. Live coverage from inside is buffering and lots of videos are not being received. My father says that the current police activity is more calculated and forcefully brutal than anything we saw in the initial Police riot.
My dad witnessed this morning premeditated brutality on a large scale which it appears we are not getting full video coverage of. In part because this attack was strategically placed on the people as they were still in bed and sleeping. People were woken by the noise and put directly from slumber to battle like a medieval village raid in the night.
A large part of the police lineup is exceptionally large men with shields and batons, these men in description sounded more like pro rugby players heading into a scrum. The people in their wake scattered like Skittles is the description my father has given. He says if you thought the brutal arrests of the last attack were bad, this is worse.
Dad believes that if we don’t get as many confident, smart people with the relevant skillset down there immediately, this will all come to a sad and brutal fate for our people within days. We need strong and capable people with the insight into how police are attacking us to lead our people now.”
Somewhere about 1958 John Henderson and I went hunting in the Tararua Ranges behind Otaki. We had slogged from the Otaki Forks up to Field Hut and then further up onto the snow grass tops to Kime Hut.
Field and Kime Huts had been built in the Depression years by the Tararua legend Joe Gibbs and helpers. Timber was pit sawn on site. Some thirty years later Kime Hut atop the main range and constantly exposed to the full blast of the ferocious northwesters and cold southerly gales was starting to sag. A couple of floor boards were missing and a sole possum living under the hut made nocturnal forays into the sleeping/living area.
Out on a clear morning
John and I were holed up by a cold, sleety southerly storm for two days. But on the third day it was a clear, crisp morning so we went hunting.
We sat and spotted several deer but saw nothing we desired to kill. So with cameras we stalked a hind and five month old “fawn” some 200 metres below us, getting to just twelve metres from the pair. Suddenly the deer spotted us. Quickly I rose and the Agfa 120 mm camera’s shutter clicked loudly. Then the deer were gone.
The Agfa 120 was an old bellows camera with no telephoto.
On the black and white negative the deer image was disappointingly small and it needed a friend to enlarge the photo. The grain-speckled image gave it a lack of quality. But still, even now when I look at the photo, I get a feeling of deep satisfaction.
Hunting with the camera
Then came 35 mm cameras with telephoto lenses producing “colour slide” transparencies or film. Using black and white film, in the Marlborough high country I got within ten metres of a young six point stag and photographed him. It was a great feeling. Today that framed photo reminds me of a great hunting morning.
But digital cameras were the big breakthrough in term of photographing wild deer. Probably 10 or so years ago, I used a Panasonic Lumix with a 12x zoom on it. It was okay up to a point but things got better. A fishing friend who is a very skilled professional photographer recommended the Canon Power Shot 50 which he used for work as a backup – testimony to its quality.
A 50 times zoom normally is not much good unless you have a tripod but the Canon 50 camera’s stabilisation system greatly smooths out long shots. I really focused on wild game photography such as deer and when the chance arose, wild goats and wild pig. I made mistakes. For example on digital cameras like my Canon, there’s two zooms – the 50 optical zoom then a further extension using the digital zoom of 4x.
Early on with the Canon 50 camera, I encountered two young stags. I zoomed right going through the optical zoom and even closer with the digital zoom. I was full of hope of some stunning shots of the young stags.
When I projected them onto the computer I was very disappointed. There was a loss of quality and the shots were disappointing. The same with a roaring stag, with mouth wide open, bellowing its challenge to other stags. So I sought advice.
“Turn off the digital zoom,” my professional photographer friend told me. “Stick to optical. Digital zoom results in loss of definition.”
Great with a labrador
Bing: an adept hunter with a great sense of smelling game.
I’ve always hunted with a dog, a labrador. Labradors are inevitably great companions, good natured and always optimistic and eager for a walk in the hills. Previously I’ve had four labs — all great companions and adept hunters. The fifth is four year old Bing.
The dog is a great advantage in hunting with rifle or the camera, but particularly the latter alerting you to game just ahead. Thus you slow right down to pussy-footing mode, with camera at the ready.
Just the other week, in the hush of the day’s twilight and with the rifle at home, I left the 4WD and slowly walked into the breeze or air drift. Bing was “at heel” beside me. We had covered about a hundred metres along the track flanked by matagouri and manuka interspersed with grassy clearings when Bing indicated a deer was just ahead. The dog had winded (scented) the smell of deer on the gentle breeze. Bing was full of eagerness so I whispered “heel.”
I eased back the pace and in measured steps, camera ready, together we moved forward. It was a yearling red deer but it spotted us first. In the next instant the animal dashed into cover.
I was annoyed with myself. So I slowed our pace down even further.
Just another 50 metres and Bing winded again. This time I was ready and took three “hand held” photos of a young stag with long velvet prongs. Then we encountered a lone deer – a young stag with wee velvet knobs – feeding. Then a hind and fawn. She stared at us then headed uphill and into cover but not before I took three shots of her.
I spooked another deer which I didn’t get a shot at. But that was compensated for when ten minutes later I encountered a South Island bush robin. Sometimes robins just disappear, other times they’re filled with curiosity that brings them in real close.
It had been a great evening with three deer and a robin shot — with the camera. This one was inquisitive.
The camera – a great alternative to the rifle
If you’ve got venison stored in your deep freeze, why needlessly kill a deer? The alternative to the rifle is the camera. It gets you out and that’s the best therapy one can have in an increasingly irrational, at times idiotic and increasingly ugly world. It’s great physically and for peace of mind.
And the deer photos can become trophies of a sort, framed and hung up on the wall in your den or study.
Four red deer in startled mode. There are actually five if you look closely

After George W. Bush slammed Vladimir Putin for illegally invading a country, Twitter users who weren’t born yesterday had some choice reactions.
“Russia’s attack on Ukraine constitutes the gravest security crisis on the European continent since World War II. I join the international community in condemning Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked and unjustified invasion of Ukraine,” said Bush in a statement.
“We cannot tolerate the authoritarian bullying and danger that Putin poses,” he added.
NEW: Former Pres. George W. Bush condemns Russia’s attack on Ukraine, calling it the “gravest security crisis on the European continent since World War II.”
For anyone who has no memory or is unable to perform a basic Google search, Bush was president when America illegally invaded Iraq on the pretext of finding “weapons of mass destruction” that never existed.
As well as claiming the lives of thousands of U.S. troops, the attack killed at least hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and led to the generational destabilization of the entire region.
That attack was also justified by erroneous claims that Saddam Hussein had links to Al-Qaeda and the 9/11 atrocity, something else that was completely invented by U.S. intelligence services.
Twitter users reacted with more than an ounce of skepticism towards Bush denouncing an ‘illegal invasion’ when his administration set the benchmark for illegal invasions.
Public Statement by Guy Hatchard Ph.D. Following a meeting with the Chief Commissioner Paul Hunt of the NZ Human Rights Commission
23 February 2022
Dear Commissioner
Thank you for providing the opportunity to present to yourself and staff yesterday afternoon. I did so as an individual scientist but on the invitation of Voices For Freedom. I remain independent of groups, but maintain communication with many groups and colleagues on scientific issues.
I am not a protestor, nor do I have any history prior to the pandemic of publicly opposing vaccination. I am formerly a senior manager at Genetic ID a global food safety testing and certification company (now known as FoodChain ID).
I am a long standing advocate of the benefits and safety of those natural approaches to diet and medicine which have been adequately scientifically verified. I have my own website, HatchardReport.com.
At the conclusion of the meeting you said that the HRC would make a public statement and left the participants free to make public statements themselves. Thank you.
This morning I read your public statement following the meeting which affirms that you feel a duty to listen, and adduces “It’s clear that the protesters who I have met with have very real stories of loss and suffering. They feel broken and discarded due to the impact of Covid-19 health measures on their lives.” You also expressed a measure of caution.
As a person experienced in the analysis of data and the assessment of scientific information, I am increasingly aware of deficiencies in official NZ pandemic data and its use to support continuations of now outdated government policy. Outdated government policy and incomplete official data directly impacts the rights of individuals.
For example, since 21 August 2021, the Ministry of Health (MoH) has been publishing data related to the Covid outbreak in a cumulative fashion. This data shows that 60% of cases occur in the ‘vaccinated’ (against a ‘vaccinated’ population rate of 79%), and that 70% of hospitalisations are among the ‘unvaccinated’.
This appears to strongly support ‘vaccination’, however it is misleading due to the cumulative nature of the data, (and incidentally because of the way ‘vaccination’ status is categorised). Cumulative data only reveals the average of the whole outbreak, not the current daily and weekly trends.
Since October 2021, members of my support team have been calculating ‘snapshots’ of data by subtracting report data from each subsequent report. This has allowed me to see the current burden of cases by ‘vaccination’ status for any specific time period, and to calculate the hospitalisation risk disparity for cases by ‘vaccination’ status. Below is an example of the data between February 17 and 18:
This snapshot data paints a very different and relevant picture. It is indicative that during the present phase of our Covid outbreak, those that are ‘vaccinated’ may be at slightly higher risk of hospitalisation than those who are ‘unvaccinated’. The general trends and overseas data support this concern.
You will be well aware that this is in contrast to government and media messaging strongly encouraging booster ‘vaccinations’ as essential. If you ignore the crucial issue of very high rates of adverse effects, this could possibly be supported by the historical cumulative Covid data, but it is certainly not supported by current data.
The reason for the ineffectiveness of mRNA ‘vaccination’ must also be obvious to you from yesterday’s presentations and the supporting submissions provided to you by presenters. The characteristics of Omicron are quite different from those of Delta. Omicron is a variant that has adapted to prefer infection of ‘vaccinated’ individuals. From the perspective of genomics, this results from the well documented path of viral evolution.
I note that Medsafe has admitted in small print on its website, generally unnoticed and uncommented by media, that the phenomenon of ‘vaccine’ acquired immune deficiency (which I allude to above) is a risk about which they have concern.
The Human Rights implications of this are also obvious. Incentives and encouragement to ‘vaccinate’, when its benefit is in doubt, but the risk of harm is well documented, do not amount to a process of informed consent or medical risk mitigation. Today in your public statement you clearly extend personal sympathy to those affected by adverse ‘vaccine’ reactions.
Many among the wider population are becoming aware of risks through personal experiences. For example a friend of mine is a director of a large business, one of his relatives has been affected by myocarditis, but his work colleagues remained sceptical of any risk.
Recently the father of one of their employees had a booster shot immediately followed by a massive heart attack. As a result, the opinion of his colleagues has swung back in full support of my friend’s informed choice. This kind of experience is reforming public opinion up and down the country (and even I have heard in Parliament). It is no surprise that booster uptake has barely reached 50% of those eligible.
I come to the point of my writing, in addition to a big thank you for taking the time to listen at length, I submit that the human rights abuses are a matter of daily misery for many, extending to some dramatic and devastating personal health impacts which are escalating as booster shots are rolled out. In my opinion, it is not tenable to delay action.
The government has curated extremes of public opinion fearful of Covid outcomes, in favour of experimental mRNA ‘vaccination’, and prejudiced against those reluctant to ‘vaccinate’. As you know, this has extended to punitive measures.
As published evidence has accumulated which points to increased health risks of ‘vaccination’ and therefore a need to revise policy, the government has dug its heels in and doubled down on announcements of ‘vaccine’ safety and effectiveness. The Ministry of Health’s restricted presentation of data along with its refusal to institute mandatory reporting of adverse effects verges on the deliberately misleading and implies a cover up.
I surmise from your extensive history of supporting human rights, that you will know there is a fine line between unfortunate mistakes and deliberate suppression of fact. I believe that line is now being crossed in New Zealand.
Leadership in this situation involves a willingness to speak up, even if the message may be unwelcome, and a capacity to change direction. Every day that passes by without action means growing economic misery and exclusion for some and crucially some serious health incidents for others. There is an imperative for the Commission to stand up and say unequivocally there is a case which has been made and needs to be answered. A case that requires an open public dialogue.
Therefore I warmly welcome your statement:
“The job given to the Human Rights Commission, Te Kāhui Tika Tangata, by Parliament is to listen, conciliate, educate and advance human rights and responsibilities for all”
I am asking you here to follow this statement with a timely call for a wider public process that will go beyond a possibly poorly informed, and certainly based on past experience, opaque review confined within the corridors of parliamentary power. The HRC is there to protect and uphold rights independently from parliament.
As I indicated in my submission, incidence of adverse effects and death proximate to Covid ‘vaccination’ in NZ and elsewhere have far surpassed thresholds set by medical ethics and protocol that should also trigger an immediate pause in ‘vaccination’. This is not a time to delay, the situation has already passed beyond a point requiring prompt action. Can you please advise me of the intended HRC time frame?
I will, as you have already indicated I may, make this statement publicly available.
I look forward to hearing more from the Commission shortly. I remain ready to provide any scientific information you need within a short time frame. As you know, I have already submitted to the HRC a list of 1000 published papers on adverse effects of mRNA ‘vaccination’.
Although grinders are the preferred method of smoothing out bumps and changes in slab levels, sometimes tree roots can cause big undulating cracks that can’t be fixed that way. So the Bobcats lift the slabs off and new concrete gets poured.
As an aside, we can’t help thinking that whoever manufactures these orange cones, known as witches hats, has a lucrative venture.
