“These products have a very narrow margin of safety: it takes only a small amount to cause severe toxicosis in dogs and cats. For example, ~0.5 tbsp of a pelleted 0.075% cholecalciferol product causes hypercalcemia in a 20-lb (9.1-kg) dog. Therefore, ~1.5 tbsp would cause hypercalcemia in a 65-lb (Labrador-size) dog.”

AstraZeneca wasn’t the choice of the Jacinda regime — Pfizer was — but this shows how much dishonesty was part of Big Pharma’s modus operandi in this scam.

by Peter Imanuelsen

AstraZeneca has just admitted in court that their covid injection can indeed cause a deadly side effect that causes blood clots.

They are currently being sued in a class action lawsuit from victims that have suffered after being lied to by the “experts” about “safe and effective”, with lawyers saying that the AstraZeneca ‘vaccine’ is defective.

It is in this lawsuit that AstraZeneca admitted that their covid ‘vaccine’ “can, in very rare cases, cause TTS”. There we have it!

What is TTS? It is short for Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, but it is also known as vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT).

Those are long, fancy words, but essentially what it means is that a person gets both blood clots and low blood platelet counts, meaning that people can get both blood clots and internal bleeding at the same time.

The consequences
This admission from the ‘vaccine’ maker means that victims could get a massive legal payout. The first lawsuit was started by Jamie Scott, a father of two who was left with a permanent brain injury after getting the AstraZeneca injection.”We need an apology, fair compensation for our family and other families who have been affected. We have the truth on our side, and we are not going to give up” said Kate Scott, the wife of the victim.

In total, 51 cases have now been lodged in Britain and victims and relatives are seeking damages worth $US 130 million. But the government has promised to pay for the pharmaceutical giant’s legal bills. So if they lose, the government will step in and pay – Using tax payers money of course. This is because of an indemnity deal that AstraZeneca made with the government during covid. So the taxpayer paid for the vaccine and they are paying for damages for said ‘vaccine’! Meanwhile, just days ago, AstraZeneca reported revenue over £12 billion in the first quarter of 2024.

Big Pharma is making Big Profit. In fact, this TTS is nothing new. In Italy, several doctors and medical staff were under investigation by the public prosecutor after an 18 year old girl died from the AstraZeneca ‘vaccine’.

Ukrainian President Zelensky says that he is in talks with the United States to support Ukraine “for the next ten years.” 

The ink is hardly dry on a bill to send $61 billion to Ukraine last week! And yet Zelensky is working on a 10-year blank check? 

“Today, our teams – of Ukraine and the United States – are working on a bilateral agreement on security,” he said on Telegram. “We are working to commit to paper concrete levels of support for this year and for the next ten years. It will include military, financial, and political support, as well as what concerns joint production of weapons.” 

Ten years!? Ten more years of supporting a war that most Americans don’t support and many Ukrainians don’t want either?? Ten more years of Zelensky’s lies about the true cost of lives? The Washington Post reported this weekend that Zelensky has downplayed the death toll since the war in order to drag it on and he pretends that it is going well when it clearly is not. 

This weekend, Ukrainians retreated from three new cities. 

Six thousand Tauranga citizens who petitioned in 2021 for a vote on a proposed Maori ward want some fair treatment over such a ward that is currently being imposed on Tauranga.

These citizens feel aggrieved that their local election in July 2024 features such a ward without a vote even though the right to vote on such wards is being restored.

And it looks like that Maori ward will stay in place for six years, until 2030, long after other councils have had referenda on or disestablished their Maori wards.

Back in 2020, the elected Tauranga council was among nine councils that proposed Maori wards. Affected residents in all nine council areas petitioned for a referendum.

The required five percent needed for a referendum in Tauranga was 4742 signatures. The petition deadline was February 21, 2021. By February 1, over 6000 signatures had been collected and submitted.

The Tauranga City Council was notified and a referendum was advertised on February 12, 2021 with referendum voting closing on May 8 that year.

But February 1 was also the day that former Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta announced that the right to petition and vote on proposed Maori wards would be removed from law.

The Elections NZ had confirmed sufficient qualifying signatures had been collected and a date had been set for a by-election. Mahuta’s law change took effect on March 2, 2021.

Some wondered whether the Monday, February 1, announcement by Mahuta was utu for a widely reported public meeting at which lobby group Hobson’s Pledge founder Don Brash, the previous Friday, announced that the Tauranga petition had sufficient signatures.

However, the decision to outlaw Maori wards petitions had been made by Cabinet on December 14, 2020.

Labour didn’t campaign at the general election on changing the law on Māori wards and it didn’t appear in its manifesto, which promised the exact opposite, that “Labour will ensure that major decisions about local democracy involve full participation of the local population from the outset.”

The Maori ward vote abolition legislation, which was retrospective, was presented under urgency in Parliament on February 9, 2021. Just two days were allowed for public submissions.

The Maori Select Committee (shouldn’t that have been the Local Government Select Committee?) reported back to Parliament on February 15. The bill became law on February 25, 2021.

Mahuta’s line in 2021 was that votes on Maori wards were racist.

But 20 years earlier, as part of Helen Clark’s government, she spoke in support of petitions and votes on Maori as the Local Electoral Act 2001 bill was before Parliament.

Meanwhile, Mahuta, on February 9, 2021, replaced Tauranga’s mayor and councillors with four commissioners after mayor Tenby Powell resigned and asked for commissioners.

The commissioners confirmed, at a meeting in April 2021, the previous council’s decision to set up Maori wards – the decision that sparked the petition.

The four commissioners’ initial appointment was expected to conclude at the October 2022 local government elections.

However, Mahuta reappointed them for a new term running from April 26, 2022, to July this year, when the next local election for Tauranga City Council would be held.

Twenty five days ago, on April 4, the new Local Government Minister Simeon Brown announced that petitions and votes on Maori wards would be restored, and that a bill to this effect would be introduced “in the coming months”.

“Affected councils will be required to hold a poll alongside the 2025 elections” and “the results of these polls will be binding”, and “will take effect for the local government term beginning October 2028”, Brown said.

“If councils do not wish to hold a poll, those councils will be given the opportunity to reverse their decision to establish Maori wards or to disestablish those wards prior to the 2025 local body elections,” he said.

But the Tauranga City Council Maori ward slips in through a crack.

• The Tauranga election is this July,2024,

• The new council’s term would be 4.25 years to 2028,

• Tauranga unable to have a referendum alongside an election next year because unlike all other councils there is no election there then,

• A Maori ward takes effect for six years or two triennial terms (according to Section 19Z (c) (3) of the Local Electoral Act 2001)

• Six years from 2024 is to 2030.

The Tauranga council could reverse its decision on the Maori ward but a Tauranga council has to be elected first, and a new Maori ward is part of the set-up that is being elected.

It looks unlikely that a new council would immediately dump a newly elected Maori ward councillor.

Bear in mind, nothing can change until the law is changed and the coalition government appears to have no sense of urgency about changing this particular law.

It took Mahuta and the last government 25 days to outlaw petitions and votes on Maori wards.

If the coalition had the same sense of urgency about restoring the right to petition and vote, the law would be changed today.

To be more specific, legislation should be passed before July this year and include a clause that prevents the anomalous Tauranga city Maori ward from proceeding.

Of course, this legislation could simply disestablish all Maori wards created without a vote since February 1, 2021.

Any council that wished to set up Maori wards could go through the process set up in 2001.

You never know, there might be widespread public support for them. If so, they would then have a clear mandate. As is they don’t.

It is important to note that Tauranga /Bay of Plenty was the birthplace of Maori wards and constituencies.

In December 1996, Bay of Plenty Regional Council’s Maori Regional Representation Committee backed by iwi leaders proposed that council establish Maori seats similar to the Maori seats in Parliament.

There was no referendum or public vote.

The Bay of Plenty Regional Council (Māori Constituency Empowering) Act 2001 became operational in 2004.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon, ACT Party leader David Seymour, and New Zealand First Leader Winston Peters need to know that 6000 voters in Tauranga are waiting to be treated fairly as the coalition government professes to implement its Maori ward policy.

The Local Electoral Act Maori ward amendment needs to pass into law by June 30 and should prevent the anomalous Tauranga Maori ward from proceeding.

The country’s 10 big post-settlement iwi had an $8.1 billion asset base last year, the same value as in 2022 due to the tougher economy and storms which saw returns fall and many entities record financial losses.

A new report out today from Wellington-headquartered consultants TDB Advisory assessed the assets of Ngāi Tahu, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Pāhauwera, Ngati Porou, Ngāti Toa, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāi Tūhoe and Waikato-Tainui.

The wealthiest iwi which settled with the Crown under Te Tiriti o Waitangi was Ōtautahi-headquartered Ngāi Tahu, with $2.21b assets — up on 2021′s $1.92b but down on last year’s $2.28b.

Waikato-Tainui had a $1.52b asset base in 2021, which rose to $1.97b by 2022 but by 2023 was up to $2.20b.

Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei had $1.55b three years ago, which hit $1.6b then fell last year to $1.57b.

Despite tougher times, all 10 iwi made distributions to their members and those rose lately.

These distributions were mainly for education, marae, housing, health, culture, sports and community service grants. Distributions totaled $235 million in 2023, up on the $138m in 2022, TDB found.

The combined assets of the 10 iwi make up an estimated 69 per cent of all post-settlement iwi assets, which TDB estimates to be worth around $11.8b in 2023, up on 2022′s $11.7b.

Phil Barry of TDB said: “Last year was challenging for the iwi covered in this report. All except Ngati Porou reported decreased returns on assets from the year prior and half of the iwi reported financial losses.”

The 10 iwi generally have similar corporate structures.

Most have an overarching trust that makes decisions about distributions to iwi members and the non-financial objectives of the group, while a separate commercial entity manages commercial assets and makes investment decisions with a commercial mandate.

Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, Ngāti Toa and Waikato Tainui all hold most assets in property, while Ngāi Tahu and Raukawa have only around 30 per cent in real estate.

This dominance of property reflects the initial settlements of each iwi, which primarily consisted of properties in their rohe. Ngāi Tahu in particular has diversified and has increased its investment in primary industries and financial assets in recent years, TDB noted.

All iwi studied except Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei hold assets in the primary industries, including fishing, forestry and farming.

Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Awa and Ngāti Pāhauwera all have investments in the primary industries as their largest asset class.

Most iwi have an interest in the domestic fishing industry from the Treaty of Waitangi fisheries settlement, which allocated fishing quota and shares in Moana New Zealand, legally known as Aotearoa Fisheries Ltd.

Ngāpuhi is yet to settle with the Crown outside of the fisheries settlement. Ngāti Awa and Ngāti Pāhauwera both hold most of their primary industry investments in forestry, followed by farming, TDB noted.

Ngāti Porou and Tūhoe hold most assets in the financial markets, predominantly in managed funds.

Ngāi Tahu, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Awa, Ngāti Pāhauwera and Raukawa also hold a variety of financial assets.

Primary industries suffered, due mostly to extreme weather events like Cyclone Gabrielle.

These caused reduced yields and crop losses and damaged infrastructure, farms, marine ecosystems and land. As a result, fishing, forestry and farming were all impacted in their returns, TDB noted.

Last year was poor for investors generally with TDB’s benchmark index for investors in the sectors which iwi invest in showing a 0.01 per cent return.

Only half the 10 iwi reported positive returns.

Raukawa and Ngāpuhi reported the highest returns at 5 per cent and 4.9 per cent respectively.

None of the 10 iwi exceeded their own 11-year average returns.

Ngāti Porou was the only iwi to report a return exceeding its 2022 return of -3.5 per cent.

These negative returns were largely the result of revaluation losses in property due to a poor economic environment with high interest rates, TDB said.

Iwi with assets in forestry and other primary industries, particularly Ngāti Pāhauwera, Ngāpuhi and Ngāti Porou, were hit by Cyclone Gabrielle.

Ngāi Tahu, Tūhoe and Waikato-Tainui reported revaluation losses or chose to decrease their investments in primary industries.

GARLIC

Many years ago you could put a few cloves into friable, free draining, fertile soil with their points upwards and their bottoms down, some time around about the shortest day and six months later harvest nice big fat bulbs with new fresh plump cloves inside.

Then about 7 odd years ago Puccinia porri appeared which is the dreaded garlic rust. Since then gardeners and commercial growers have been battling to grow decent garlic bulbs.

Last season I planted a lot of garlic types that I had purchased from a supplier.

Planted into a raised garden and used the silicon cell strengthening products to try and prevent the rust by fortifying the plants with silica.

The previous season I had used the cell strengthening products and that worked in preventing the rust but because of too many hazy or cloudy days and too little direct sunlight the bulbs were only about half the size they should have been.

Last season’s crop got the rust and the bulbs were small. (They had the silica treatment as they grew) In another raised garden I planted some cloves from my previous successful crop and I did not treat them with the silicon cell strengthening products.

These plants never showed any sign of rust on them.

I also planted some of my own with the purchased ones and they got the rust along side of the purchased ones. Thus I have determined that the rust is not only an air borne disease but can be carried on the bulbs and cloves.

That meant that the purchased bulbs in the first raised garden along with my cloves which had been rust free the year before all had rust. Where these raised gardens are is behind my warehouse which is in a commercial area and thus no gardens anywhere nearby growing plants or garlic.

Well I have learnt two possible things: one is there is a very good likelihood of garlic spores being on bulbs you buy and the silicon cell strengthening products can help but is not foolproof.

The previous season which I grew in a different raised garden garlic and used the silicon cell strengthening products I had no rust. It was from that season that I had some cloves to plant last season.

The year before that with no special treatment on the purchased bulbs I had rust and a very poor crop of small bulbs (in different raised garden which I have a lot of.)

That was why when I used the silicon cell strengthening products the following season and had no rust I thought it was that treatment that did the trick.

Its a learning curve and gardeners worth their salt will not give up easily and keep battling till an answer is found.

Conclusions: Rust spores can be carried on the incoming bulbs and lay dormant in the soil where garlic was grown previously. (Likely it would take 2-3 years for those spores to suppressed naturally)

So for the garlic bulbs I have purchased this year I made up a solution of potassium permanganate at about a teaspoon full into a litre of water and soaked the cloves in that having removed them from the bulbs.

If you are buying bulbs from a supplier or ones from the supermarket then when you separate the cloves only choose the biggest, fattest ones to plant and soak them in the potassium permanganate solution.

The smaller cloves take to the kitchen for use in cooking.

Another problem would be for those that do not have a lot of growing area and have to plant into gardens that have had garlic in the past. To kill any spores in such gardens take a teaspoon of potassium permanganate and a table spoon of Wallys Ocean Solids dissolve both into a litre of hot water and when nicely dissolved add to another 9 litres of water and drench the area you are going to plant your garlic in.

Then prepare the area with a good sprinkling of animal manure or sheep manure pellets plus blood and bone. Sprinkle Wallys Calcium & Health and Wallys BioPhos over the manures and then cover with purchased compost.

Make up another batch of potassium permanganate and Ocean solids and drench the area again.

In my case I placed two sacks full of horse manure which was teeming with earth worms over the existing soil of a raised garden that is on asphalt. Then I did a good sprinkling of Wallys Calcium & Health and Wallys BioPhos before covering with purchased compost.

Into this I pressed my fat cloves planting about 80mm apart.

Put a little more compost over the area to ensure that the cloves are covered and then over the garden plastic netting to stop the birds worm hunting and digging up the planted cloves.

I planted yesterday which is about two months early so that I can obtain good start.

My plan during the growing season is to spray the foliage once a month with the new Wallys Copper Nutrient but also have made up in a trigger spray bottle Wallys Magic Botanic Liquid (MBL) which I will spray the foliage about once a week as it grows. On its own, in a Trigger spray bottle it keeps, so leave the sprayer near where the garlic is growing.

Later on when there are good size tops on the plants and before any sign of rust I am going to spray the foliage with Wallys Vaporgard.

This will do two things: by having a film over the foliage there is no leaf surface for rust to establish on so that should prevent rust damage. Secondly, Vaporgard acts as a sunscreen against UV which means that the plant can really photosynthesis and the foliage will turn a much richer green.

Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose.

Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch. Cellulose is used in building cell walls. It’s the glucose that builds big fat bulbs in the last couple of months prior to harvest.

As the foliage will keep growing the Vaporgard film will stretch a little bit, then bare foliage will appear and new leaves will not have a protective coating.

So, dependent on growth of foliage, a spray of Vaporgard every two to four weeks should be applied to keep a coating over the leaves as much as possible.

When applying the back up sprays of Vaporgard, add to the spray, Wallys Copper Nutrient at the lessor rate and also the MBL.

If you want to spray the copper and MBL without the Vaporgard then you need to add a little Raingard to the spray so the two films (Vaporgard and Raingard) will emerge and the products will pass though to the leaves. Otherwise they will not get through to the foliage instead sit on the Vaporgard film to wash off in rain or watering.

OK, a it’s a bit of work and spraying to follow the program, but if it all works out one can take pride in producing home grown, big garlic bulbs, where others try and fail.
