Puketapu Resident Recounts "Three minutes to get out!"
On the 27th of Febuary this year, in the Hawkes Bay, i reported on the damage wrought by Cyclone Gabrielle for Counterspin Media.
Puketapu resident Glynnis showed the CSM team around her property as she recounts the moment her & her husband are told they have 3 minutes to get out.
Glynnis also talks about her husband finding a family of 5 walking the road waste deep in water after they had been trapped on their roof.
In this interview she shares her relief at having made it & gives thanks to the many volunteers who have continued to turn up and lend a helping hand in the clean up.
"We had about 40 to 50 people one day, and they came in here and they basically broke the back inside and got it cleared out with silt and then they started taking the jib off. So the house can dry."
She makes mention of one Michael from Eskdale who, despite losing everything, turned up and helped out and gives a shout out to Puketapu Hotel who have provided hot meals to those in need, delivering some distance.
This is what it's about, people helping people in their time of need.

Puketapu Couple Found 4 Days After Listed Missing
On the 27th of Feb I reported for Counterspin Media (https://t.me/CounterspinMediaNZ) and shared a story of a couple who had been listed as missing in Hawkes Bay, here is that report.
27.02.23
Bane and Avril from Moteo Pa were on the missing persons list for 4 days before they were able to make contact with family and friends.
"The scary thing to, is that family couldn't find each other, that was the worst thing of the lot. It was days before our family found us and we had gone on the list that was missing".
Avril also mentioned that 111 were called...to no avail. She said they asked her what was her call about to which she responded "flooding" and was put on hold.
The couple gave thanks to their local marae for the support they provided and to those who have continued help them since.
Despite the carnage left by torrential waters, people power has overcome yet again, proving unity in the community is indeed alive and well in the Hawkes Bay.

DOUG FROM HAWKES BAY GIVES A RAW ACCOUNT OF HIS EVACUTION IN THE WAKE OF CYCLONE GABRIELLE
Reporting for Counterspin Media (https://t.me/CounterspinMediaNZ):
26 Feb 2023
Puketapu resident Doug gives his raw account of the evacuation of himself and his family on the morning of the flooding in the Hawkes Bay region.
Doug recounts his interaction with fire services and how they didn’t alert people earlier to get out.
Upon their return, the rescuers (fire service) needed rescuing.
Doug also expresses his concerns as to why the Regional Council did not do a check on the river levels and the lack of emergency services response.
Doug’s neighbours also took in others who had nowhere to go and hosted them for a few days. He spoke of the vulnerability and challenge in trying to make contact with emergency services, family, and friends because their was no power or reception in the area.
Doug finishes off with a very simple but powerful statement “but we are alive”.

ACT Leader David Seymour Confronted
David had welcomed all to speak on Sunday, Mothers Day & prior to my question another gentleman had raised the importance of freedom of speech for all as critically important, even on the least popular subjects. The reason I stated I’m of Maori & European descent, wasn’t to play the race card, but in response to David saying I’m not from Epsom, rather than accept as a high ranking politician, his job is to listen to & serve us all, no excuses & sans personal attacks.
I would add that humans only have words or fists to resolve problems. So those who do not allow speech are inviting violence, as that is the ONLY conflict resolution alternative to diplomacy. Any libertarian should therefore want words, even rugged or disagreeable speech, as anything with sound waves is preferable to physical violence!
David has had years to explain to his past voters, such as myself, why he failed to uphold multiple sections of the Bill of Rights, including the right to freedom from medical coercion, the right to medical privacy & right to association/protest, during Covid.
I also understand that those Rights are not entrenched, they can be suspended under section 4 & we do not have a constitution to empower citizens (one of three such nations on earth). However those aforementioned rights date back to the Magna Carta of 1215 & are echoed in the UN’s own Declaration of Human rights. So any suspension of them is serious & should follow vigorous public debate to ensure the threshold of section 4 is met, which did not occur under covid or subsequently.
David Seymour therefore failed to be a voice for right wingers, libertarians & conservatives throughout New Zealand & silenced his own board & MP’s from speaking their minds on the above issues. I have proof of this & David’s breach of his own ACT party constitution to be revealed in due course.
Also, there is no right that can be interpreted under NZ law which says an individual can live safe of a virus or free from risk of infection by others. So there is no long-standing legal basis to discriminate against the unvaccinated when a) there is no right for the vacccinated to be “safe” & b) there is no proof the unvaccinated ever had a higher viral load or that the vaccine reduced risk of transmission(Medsafe never even tested for transmission). There is however scientific evidence of the obese having a much higher viral load & reduced vaccine efficacy. But we didn’t ban the obese from bars, cafes, gyms or their workplace.
Lastly David claims a business has the right to discriminate on the basis of vaccination, firstly that violates the right to individual medical privacy, but also a business cannot discriminate on the basis of race, gender or any other axis, as we don’t have a totally libertarian property rights free market economy. The basis of all property rights however, is not a business or corporation, but one’s individual body. Your body belongs to you only, which is why slavery, rape & assault are wrong!
By saying you must put a dubious vaccine in your body or lose your job, David & other politicians essentially threatened/blackmailed you for money. That isn’t a natural consequence such as eating too much makes you fat, removing someone’s income for not getting a vaccine is an arbitrarily made up political consequence and the same as saying “give me money or get shot”….”take this shot or you don’t get X thousand dollars & your family suffers”. If made up consequences are OK, then every history act of state tyranny & genocide is similarly justified.
Those weren’t just empty threats, Ardern with the backing of Seymour acted on those threats & cost thousands their jobs, businesses & relationships by mobilising our police, courts & military to act on said flawed, violent basis.
Violence is not my verbal confrontation as David claims, violence is making & carrying out threats to remove liberties from people who don’t do as you say & put xyz in their bodies!
For that he deserves far more than my heated speech, as do all politicians, however this man is especially culpable as he’s not stupid like Jacinda, can understand the implications of his actions & pretends to be a beacon of freedom & real opposition. I encourage those who agree with the substance of my reasoning to question David with their own unique style, in their own words and see if they are met with a more humane & considered response.
I for one will not be voting ACT or helping them again, not because I love Labour/Greens, but because National/ACT had years to do the right thing & have said nothing, distracted with relative minutia and will go along with or enforce tyranny again when the next “Covid crisis” happens & they collectively lose their minds to the worst of human emotions.
Ergo I’d rather Labour got a fourth term, fully destroyed this country with hyperinflation & Orwellian woke culture, so that everyone can realise how deep the real problems are & swiftly rebuild this once great nation. Unprincipled beta males like Soymore & Luxon are not your saviours, the lesser of evils is still evil, the point of voting is to reflect your principles in government, not pragmatic popularity contests which sacrifice truth & reason.

The Consequence Of Cowardice
"It is important to remember when I speak of love I do not mean some "beautiful" modern expression of it.
Love only has value if it is discriminatory.
The idea that anyone can love all things equally, is a lie told by cowards to convince themselves that cowardice is enlightenment.
Frederick Nietzsche expressed it best when he said, "I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."
Slavery was seen as a fate worse than death, as it strips the man of his manhood and reduces his children to the property of another.
This is the true goal of compassion, to refuse suffering at any cost.
Thus a man who claims to love his folk and family, could never see slavery as an option."

"OH it's already on?" 😂
Someone close to me was told that what we do isn't supposed to be fun, that none of this is fun and that it's no laughing matter...to which I say, shit is serious enough without us walking around like depressed, negative nancys. I'm not even that way inclined.
Best to surround yourself with good friends who know how to have a laugh and spread joy to those who are struggling.

Be A Force To Be Reckoned With
If you're incapable of violence, not being violent isn't a virtue.
I'm harmless, therefore, I'm good. It's like no, that isn't how it works. That isn't how it works at all. If you're harmless, you're just weak. And if you're weak, you're not going to be good. You can't be because it takes strength to be good. It's very difficult to be good.

Let Women Speak Auckland, Part 2
The following is Part 2 of my recap of the 25th March at Posie Parkers "LET WOMEN SPEAK" event in Auckland at Albert Park.
In this video I touch on getting the co-ordinaters out and ensuring they were safe.
What I forgot to mention was how traumatized Posies security were by the behavior they witnessed from the "rainbow community". I also forgot to mention the fact that one of the head co-ordinaters had been physically assaulted also and her face was bleeding when we found her. Then there was the lovely Linda who last time I saw her she was attempting to find her husband on what she thought might be a broken ankle.

Let Women Speak Auckland
On the 25th March, myself, my son Te Rau, my friends Lisa, Kiwi and Sue arrived early to Albert Park, Auckland, in preparation for womens rights activist Posie Parkers event "LET WOMEN SPEAK" scheduled for later that morning.
It was set to be a beautiful day, the sun was peaking over the big old trees in the park and there was a buzz in the air.
What unfolded that day was anything but beautiful however, as the Indoctrination through MSM, SM, universities, schools and parliament was exposed in all its depravity as the "woke" gender mob showed itself.
The following is Part 1 of my recap of that day.

Protect The Women
"This environment that has been created and corrupted and manipulated, does not respect women, does not respect children, does not respect men, and it cares nothing for family.
If that is the society that we want to live in then we need to see how crazy we are. Really."

Have You Heard Of The Esk Hydro Scheme
While in Hawkes Bay Tobias (https://t.me/tobiastahi) and i decided to check out a body of water further up the Esk river, called the Toronui reservoir.
It had been admitted Waikaremoana dam had released a percentage of water however as it is some distance away from Hawkes Bay it was only logical to look closer to home regarding the cause of such destruction.
As we worked our way towards the reservoir we happened upon the mention of a Hydro dam...directly above the Esk river.
Weird, we thought, as there was no sign of it on any maps we had looked at.
So we decided to check it out and in this vlog you hear audio admitting that the Hydro is damaged and more...😉
Below are a few links on the Esk Hydro scheme you may like to have a read of:
