Sir John Key has denied reports he was “working the phones” on behalf of embattled prime minister Christopher Luxon, however said “from time to time” people will ring him and he will offer his views.
Interesting no one is asking Bill English if he is lobbying for anyone.
Which is a shame because we would be able to predict the outcome if he was.

The Free Speech Union finally come to the party and have suddenly realised how dangerous National and Labours age verification for social media is - IT IS Digital ID and the Govt will have inordinate control over your speech, over the information you can access, and ultimately over your finances and freedom.

The FSU were overwhelmingly told to get with the program and grow a brain by their members via a survey…

Steph Martin from the FSU is now warning that National and Labour are working in concert to push this shit through before the end of the year, Radio Rhema host Andrew Urquhart warns listeners - “The Govt will control you, you cannot sit this one out. Get involved to stop it”

Luxon and Labour need to be done in asap.

This is the parents role, some people out there want the Marxist bureaucrats to raise their kids or have been sucked in by Luxons rich lister mates who exploit the tech illiterate (and who are set to make BILLIONS off digital ID).

Thankfully the overwhelming majority of Kiwis say NO.

A detailed secret trade-association memo plotting the removal of US Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has leaked. It reads like a coup attempt against regulatory reform—and they are spending millions to make sure Kennedy is out of office by September.
It seems that the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), whose membership includes Pfizer, Merck, Novavax, Vaxcyte, and hundreds of biotech firms that profit from regulatory insulation, has a mole.
When the nation’s leading pharmaceutical trade group convenes a closed-door strategy meeting and openly discusses the need to “go to The Hill and lobby that it is time for RFK Jr. to go,” the issue is no longer health policy—it is democratic integrity.
According to the apparent leaked minutes, verified by the name of the creator of the file, on April 3, 2025, BIO held a “Vaccine Policy Steering Committee” (VPSC) meeting whose internal summary, soon to be publicly available thanks to whistleblowers, reveals a campaign of strategic deception, institutional capture, and psychological warfare and exposes a campaign of institutional deception, investor protection, and coordinated sabotage of the MAHA reform platform.
According to the leaked document, titled “BIO Vaccine Policy Steering Committee – April 3, 2025”, BIO has committed $2 million—half of its cash reserve—to counter what it calls the “threat” posed by Kennedy’s rise. But this is no ordinary PR push. It is a multi-pronged campaign designed to deceive the public, silence dissent, and preserve industry dominance through influence operations masquerading as science.
The Plot Exposed
The document opens with a blunt political calculation: Kennedy’s candidacy threatens investor confidence, regulatory predictability, and the long-term viability of the vaccine business. BIO leadership in the apparent leaked document states plainly: “It is time to go to The Hill and lobby that it is time for RFK Jr to go.”
To achieve this, according to the document, BIO intends to deploy surrogates across the political spectrum, co-opt conservative influencers, and bypass direct engagement with the Kennedy campaign altogether. Among the figures named as potential allies in this covert effort: Dr. Mehmet Oz, former Senator Richard Burr (former Senator NC; Advisor DLA Piper Health Policy Steering Committee), Senator Bill Cassidy (in a section of the document focused on strategic influencer engagement and legislative positioning), and the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). These individuals and institutions, the memo suggests, can provide a veneer of bipartisan legitimacy to BIO’s core aim: neutralize Kennedy without ever addressing the substance of his critique.
Follow the Money
The most revealing detail is that $2 million—precisely half of BIO’s entire $4 million reserve—has been allocated to vaccine communications, specifically a D.C.-area pilot campaign called “Why We Vaccinate.” The purpose is not education, but behavioral influence: to combine “inspire and frighten” tactics in order to manipulate public sentiment and legislative behavior.
Internal documents state clearly that the campaign’s goal is to appeal to the “movable middle” using emotionally charged messaging, capitalizing on fear messaging tied to national security, workforce resilience, and economic productivity.

Initially I believed Jacinda wanted to do her best for NZers. How wrong I was. Leading NZ was a mere stepping stone to her ambitions. She was a WEF Young Leader. She was a globalist from the start. She didn't just want a reputation as an amazing NZ leader, she wanted to be an amazing linternational leader.
Ardern's government acquired the vaccine very quickly and in large quantities because they were willing to compromise the safety of NZers. Jacinda's ambitions were more important than us.
Non-disclosure agreements were entered into with the pharmaceutical companies. Multiple OIA requests regarding the nature of those contracts and agreements were refused. We accepted vaccines we didn't understand the implications of before we understood the implications of the disease they were supposedly protecting against. There was no "safe and effective". And when the fears and injuries and deaths began to mount up, it was callled misinforation.
They took those risks on our behalf. We had no say in the decision. They had expert legal advice then from the same legal firm they are using now, which advised them not to give public testimony at the current Covid inquiry. This legal advice was paid for by us, the taxpayers, then and now. They have protected themselves all along while we have had no protection. Their refusal to answer questions publicly at the inquiry is further evidence of their disdain for the NZ public, who they required to obey them as their one source of truth throughout Covid. It is, of course, also further evidence of their guilt, not to mention evidence that the non-disclosure agreements meant they cannot tesitfy publicly.

The link to the summary from 2023 of the process followed at the time is at the end. I have taken a few quotes:

"While reflecting these commitments, certain details and contract terms are confidential and covered in the contractual commitments and are therefore unable to be fully shared or described. 
A novel procurement approach was required in advance of a COVID-19 vaccine being fully developed or available. There was significant uncertainty as to whether an effective vaccine was possible, the technologies involved, possible side effects, etc. The Taskforce developed a robust process for negotiating and signing advance purchase agreements, which involved:... initial engagement (for example, identifying target vaccine candidates and signing Confidential Non-Disclosure Agreements for information with vaccine suppliers to preserve confidentiality of information. ...assisted by external commercial and legal advisors. These contracts were to manage any possible vaccine development risks.
The New Zealand Government, through the Minister of Finance, granted indemnities to the pharmaceutical companies to enable them to progress accelerated clinical trials and respond to the urgent need to develop safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines quickly. The need to grant these indemnities partly arose from supplier-inability to secure insurance for the COVID-19 vaccines in the context of the broader pandemic and the speed at which the vaccine products were being developed.  The Government signed APAs to purchase vaccines before they were developed. For those vaccines that gained Medsafe approval, the Governmentagreed to accept a certain amount of risk regarding long-term effects and efficacy of thevaccines including associated adverse effects before full long-term data was provided to Medsafe demonstrating acceptable safety, efficacy and quality."

A SHAMEFUL DAY IN NEW ZEALAND HISTORY

In New Zealand we are in the midst of a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the NZ Covid response.

Next week the political key decision makers, including former PM Jacinda Ardern, were all scheduled to testify at the public livestream session, cross examined by the Royal Commissioners

Today they have announced that collectively (but they stress with no collusion) they will not be appearing.

They refuse.

Their reasons?

*They are already cooperating behind closed doors

*Politicians should not have to be publicly observed answering questions

*They are worried for their safety

*They are worried that their video testimony can be tampered with and used nefariously.

The Royal Commission DOES have the powers to override their refusal, and compel them to appear. They have decided instead to play nice and not use these powers.

We are a land deeply fractured by the Covid response.
Social cohesion is at an all time low....and with this cowardly refusal to "back their decisions" publicly, our former Covid decision makers have further deeply altered the fabric of our land.

Where there was low trust in authority....there will now be none

Trust in the authority, powers, independence and transparency of the Royal Commission process - gone.

Tonight, I contemplate (with a very heavy heart) the tens of thousands of emails and private messages I have received in the past 4 years, as the founder of The Health Forum NZ (supporting Covid vax injured and vax mandated).

Four years of silencing, gaslighting, diminishing, branding, name calling and social derision for thousands of New Zealanders....and now this.

I stand in forever solidarity with the:

mRNA injured and maimed

The families who lost a loved one following their mRNA injection

Those who have permanently lost connection and relationship with their family due to refusing to take a Covid injection and being branded a conspiracy theorist and pushed out.

Those who watched a love one die alone in a hospital or rest home, saying goodbye through an I Pad held by a nurse

Those who lost their job, profession, mana, income through workplace vaccine mandates

Those who were mandated, took an injection, sustained an mRNA injury, only to have a medical exemption declined. They lost their job AND were injured.

The teenagers who now live with permanent heart damage from the Pfizer - many of them took it due to mandates in their workplace (supermarkets).

New Zealanders who could not get back into their own country for 2 years due to closed borders and MIQ lotteries.

Small business owners who went bust (still happening now) due to endless lockdowns

My children and grandchildren....and yours too....who will be paying off the $66 BILLION our Prime Minister borrowed for the Covid response, for years to come.

The list is much longer, but this gives you the smallest glimpse of the trail of destruction, despair and DISTRUST that lies in the wake of the decisions made by the then NZ government.

Those same people who now believe they are above standing before New Zealand and openly and transparently justifying their decisions.

This is a shameful day in New Zealand history

The refusal of senior Labour Party politicians to appear before the Covid inquiry having been asked to do so is one of the most shocking examples of non accountability and lack of transparency in our history.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

I want to speak honestly and frankly about something that almost everybody in British politics is too frightened to even brush past: the growing influence of Islam in Britain, and what that means for our culture, our laws and most importantly - our future.

We have to look at the reality of what is happening at a societal level, and the way in which a political and cultural ideology is shaping large parts of our country.

Britain was built on a strong Christian moral foundation.

Our freedoms, our laws, our institutions - they are all rooted in that heritage.

What we are seeing today is something very different.

Entire areas where British culture has been pushed aside. Parallel systems of law and authority operating quietly, although increasingly loudly, in the shadows.

Fear and intimidation silencing criticism, even in Parliament and the media. It’s not even multiculturalism in many areas of Britain, there is one culture - Islam.

Sharia law roles being openly advertised on Government platforms, 85 Sharia courts operating around the country, millions of animals brutally butchered alive. All to avoid offending Muslims?

I don’t care about that. This is Britain. We do things a certain way. We must not change that to appease one religion.

When elected politicians are afraid to speak the truth about the rape gangs because they fear being accused of ‘Islamophobia’, that tells you that something is profoundly wrong. Local councils and police pathetically bend over backwards to avoid upsetting ‘community leaders’.

This attitude helped to enable the mass rape of thousands and thousands of white British girls, mainly by gangs of Pakistani Muslim men in towns and cities all across the UK.

If we had the courage to confront these facts then, it would not have happened on such a vast scale. I promise you that.

I am deeply concerned that we are sleepwalking into a future where our own culture and laws are gradually eroded, not through a sudden revolution, but drip by drip through cowardice, appeasement, and political convenience. The growth of the Muslim population means on current trajectory - this is a question of when, not if.

Look at how part of England have changed already, in just a few decades. Rochdale, Bradford, Luton, large parts of East London. I could go on.

The Government’s entire approach to Gaza is driven by a desperate attempt to cling on to the Muslim vote in dozens and dozens of these constituencies. The agenda is being driven by an organised, religiously-driven bloc vote. That's just a fact.

Starmer will evidently do nothing. Farage talks of an inevitable loss if we alienate Islam, he doesn’t even believe halal slaughter should be prohibited. It's weak and it's pathetic. The Tories? These issues disappointingly spread so widely and deeply under their watch.

And you think it’s bad now? After the next election, it will get worse. And the election after that? Worse again.

We need to protect our culture and legal system without apology. We need to draw a clear line. One law for all - no parallel systems, no special exemptions for Islam.

We need to assert that Britain is a Christian country, built on Christian values, and that will not change to accommodate any other ideology.

Ban Halal slaughter. Ban Sharia courts. Ban the burqa. Ban hate-preachers. Be assertive, set an example.

Deport those foreign Islamists who hate our way of life and want to do us harm - we will not tolerate such intolerance anymore.

Stop appeasing cultural practices that clash with British law and values. Halt malign foreign funding of mosques. Strip citizenship from dual nationals involved in Islamist extremism, and deport them too.

Above all, we need to be honest. Because if we cannot even speak about this issue openly, we have already lost.

Restore Britain will do just that. I hope you consider joining if you want to support us in that mission.

We must unapologetically restore confidence and belief in our own identity, our own culture and our own laws.
