Theme: This tragedy is one of many staged shocks that have been inflicted upon New Zealand for the best part of eight decades. They reveal how New Zealand’s issues, scandals and crises are thematically encoded with historical riffs to signal authorship, unity, damage control and scapegoats — while telegraphing hidden aims — in plain sight. New Zealand’s staged events occur with spooky precision timing to riff off historical events so that the newsmaking psycho-dramatic terror theater, simultaneously performs as cryptic signals intelligence, boasts its ritualized spectacular power and functions to maintain discipline among a cryptocracy. The  cryptologists’ modus operandi is to encode events with metaphors, to telegraph ruptures with the past, that go live as the syndicate’s chess pieces perform their scripted and improvised moves.

Snapshot: The staging of a DC-3 crash in the Kaimai Range on July 3 1963 was signalled by the date it occurred. It was timed to thematically riff off the date July 3 1866, when Freemason Governor Bro. George Grey delivered a speech in Parliament endorsing the upcoming laying of the Cook Strait Telegraph Cable as an important national development project. Officially, the DC-3 crash, which killed 23, was primarily caused by inadequate provision of navigation beacons. 

Ergo, the crash occurred amid a national civil aviation boom that required navigation technology upgrades, an accelerated phasing out of the domestic piston-engine era, and ceasing the tiresome provincial rivalries. Codified into the dates associated with this catalytic aviation catastrophe were clusters of transportation-themed historical events, combined with technological obsolescence metaphors, to signal a victory lap in an ongoing covert civil war. 

➳ Overview: The Kaimai Plane Crash, 3 July 1963 — Death Toll: 23

On Wednesday July 3 1963, National Airways Corporation Flight 441 departed from Whenuapai at 8:21am for a flight to Tauranga and slammed into a vertical rock face on a ridge at Mount Ngatamahinerua in the Kaimai Ranges, North Island at 9:09am.

The DC-3 plane had struck a deep bush-clad rock-face at an altitude of around 2460 ft (750m) at 140kmh and caught fire on impact. It was 100 feet below the top of the ridge.

The entire wreckage, minus the starboard engine, was lodged in a U-shaped cleft. An intense down-draft, known locally as the ‘Kamai Breeze’, was deemed the probable proximate cause of the collision. The DC-3 had flown up the valley consistent with where the wreckage was wedged, and the aircraft was laterally level at impact, while the aircraft was caught in a vertical descent and its nose was up, attempting a climb.

Numerous eyewitnesses saw the DC-3 before it disappeared in cloud, or in the hills.

The loss of Flight 441 in the Kaimai Range is most remembered as a case of a WWII-era aircraft blown off course in atrocious weather. The newly refurbished National Airways Corporation-owned DC-3 was carrying 23 people — who all died.

It was widely reported at the time as New Zealand’s worst air accident. After Erebus, it’s designation as an ‘internal crash’ requalified it among the ‘worst of type disasters’.

One of the enduring mysteries of the Kaimai Crash, was why Flight 441 was flying into a gale and headed for ranges categorised as non-mountainous terrain on its way to an airport that lacked corresponding equipment for the DC-3 to track its distance from the destination — on a route that NAC was not licensed to operate, for over six years. After all, you’d have thought that a crown department having a Minister of Civil Aviation called John McAlpine (1960 to 1966), would have had a better grasp that ‘ranges’ is a noun word describing long rocky jaggery mountains, and that the Air Services Licensing Authority might have noticed NAC’s 441 flights were unregistered.

Particularly since the 441 route — which commenced from the former RNZAF air base at Whenuapai, to Tauranga, and onto Gisborne, Napier, Palmerston North, and Wellington, and Wanganui, Hamilton and Whenuapai — was wryly referred to as ‘Round the Rocks’, since the inland territories of the ‘North Island’ are mountainous.

Amid poor visibility, the cockpit crew were relying on the onboard radio compass that pointed at the destination radio beacon. In theory, the needle pointed at Tauranga. The compass showed the pilot and co-pilot their direction to Tauranga, but not their actual position. Moreover, there emerges a controversy over the signal power of the powerful Auckland Control Tower beacon. It’s transmission may have bled into the transmission of the Tauranga Control Tower, since their frequencies were close.

Whenuapai’s powerful Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) frequency was set at 336 kHZ, while Tauranga’s less powerful NDB transmitted at the frequency of 340 kHZ.

The north easterly gale blew the plane, and with no visibility of the landscape below, the pilots were unaware that they had flown to the western side of the Kaimai Ranges, rather than over the top them. They thought they were descending over flat terrain.

Given that in the immediate aftermath of an air crash, that in part resulted from a lack of complementary distance measuring equipment (DME) at the destination airport, and other navigational equipment and instrument radio beacons — how uncanny was it that the collision happened on the same day, when Freemason Governor Grey gave a speech on July 3 1866 and mentioned the upcoming Cook Strait Cable project? At the opening of the Fourth Parliament, Grey recognized the cable as a top priority for the nation’s development and a critical linkage for the country’s telegraph networks.

“The extension of Telegraphic Communication within the Colony, by means of the Electric Cable shortly to be laid across Cook Strait, will also conduce to the progress of the country and the development of its resources. Measures will be taken as early as possible for continuing this means of communication throughout the Northern Island.”

— Governor Bro. George Grey, Parliament, The New Zealand Gazette, July 3 1866.

Ergo, the Kaimai Crash plotters were telegraphing new gear would soon be deployed.

Brazenly, the ‘cryptologists’ who scripted this sinister plot were gleefully signalling they could inflict a civilian massacre with impunity. In his parliamentary speech of July 3rd 1866, Governor Grey stated that “Her Majesty’s Native subjects would learn acts of violence cannot be practised with impunity” by “firmness towards the turbulent”, they would learn “the advantages derived from the habits of Law, and a respect for Order”, while the [patriarchial masonic ruling class] maintained a “perseverance in a policy of kindness and consideration towards the well disposed”.

Potently, Grey had also declared his pride that the major conflicts in the North Island had ended and the “hostile Natives” had been subdued, which carried considerable weight because he was Commander-In-Chief of the Arm Forces. As such, Bro. Grey was the primary consolidator of the New Zealand Masonic Revolutionary War.

He cautioned there were districts requiring for a time, a sufficient force to “repress outrage”, and maintain Her Majesty’s authority with “firmness towards the turbulent”.

Uncannily, the pairing of the Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) that was aboard the crashed DC-3 and that had been withheld from Tauranga Airport, was installed three weeks and three days later, on July 27 1963. What are the odds of this new DME tech coming into operation on the very same day, that one of New Zealand’s foremost pioneering aviators George Bolt, died? After all, it was George Bolt who ran a refresher course for ex-World War I pilots in the mid-1920s, who’d later form the nucleus of the New Zealand Air Force, that sold their DC-3’s to NAC after WWII.

Other provincial airports not on the main trunk routes were equipped with the DME tech, that could be paired with the DC-3s in the months after the Kaimai Crash.

Given that George Bolt as a teenager launched a glider, that he had built at age 18, from the Cashmere Hills, is it not creepy, spooky symbol sorcery that before NAC’s DC-3 ZK-AYZ crashed, it was photographed for the airline’s marketing material flying around Banks Peninsula? After all, it was the hand-gliders, such as Ralph Court, an expert glider pilot and, at the time of the crash, President of the New Zealand Gliding Association, who gave valuable testimony at the Court of Public Inquiry about severe downdrafts and invisible atmospheric currents near high jaggery rocky terrain.

The Cashmere Hills are an affluent residential suburb located on the lower northern slopes of the Port Hills, that rise sharply above Christchurch City, and through which a rail tunnel links the city to Lyttleton’s port, while to the south of the harbour lays Banks Peninsula, with a cog-wheel-shaped coastline jutting out of the South Island, with plenty of hidden coves, isolated bays and deep ridges forged by volcanic violence.

How uncanny was it it then that Mr McAlpine opened the Civil Administration and Meteorological Services Aeronautical College at Christchurch Airport on April 5 1964? After all, it was on April 5 1871, that Freemason Dr Isaac Featherston departed Wellington to take up a post as the first Agent-General in London. In this role, he would raise capital for the national development focussed on infrastructure projects.

Ergo, the ‘cryptologists’ codified a victory lap with new DME tech starting on July 27.

As with all of these staged disasters, their cover stories play on an apparent individual, institutional, or ideological ‘failure’, to identify and avoid pitfalls, blind spots, and common mistakes, that practically guarantee the odds of a catastrophic crisis.

➳ A Cover-up Masquerading as an Air Accident Probe and Inquiry

The Public Court of Inquiry was commenced three months after the crash, following an Air Accidents investigation. Crash investigators estimated the impact speed went from 140kmh to zero in roughly 3.5 metres. The pilots thought they were on the coastal side of the Kaimai Range, but instead the plane was deemed to have been blown off course by the storm and they were in the leeward side of the Ranges and were caught in a turbulent down-draft. The aircraft, was equipped with one magnetic compass, two altimeters, two radio compasses and distance measuring equipment.

Pilot Len Enchmarch, and First Officer Peter Kissel, attempted to fly up and out, but the thruster power was too little and too late, and the doomed DC-3’s fate was sealed.

Over the latter part of the flight, the wind at the aircraft’s cruising height of 5000 feet increased to about 75 knots (139 kms/per hour), or possibly higher. But, without the link-up in navigation signals between Tauranga Airfield and the DC-3, neither the doomed pilots, nor the Air Traffic Controller, Murray Christopherson, had any real fix on the actual location of Flight 441 when it radioed for descent to 4100 feet.

The Kaimai Crash telegraphed an end to the aviation pioneering era in domestic piston-engine airliners, and to make the international airports jet-age compatible.

The dates associated with the Public Inquiry were also embedded with thematic riffs.

Given the transportation metaphors codified into the dates associated with this cruel staged airliner crash, the Inquiry’s meta-data yields uncanny correspondences.

Especially, since serious development capital was withheld from the colony until the major conflicts with the ‘hostile Natives’ in the North Island ended in the mid-1860s.

The Public Inquiry opened on September 30 1963, in Hamilton and continued in Wellington, and concluded in the capital on October 15. What are the odds that Rufus K. Hardy, a missionary and church leader with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), concluded his mission in the Waikato and Tauranga districts on September 30 1900, where he had preached among the ‘Maori people’. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Hardy evidently developed a deep appreciation for nature from childhood hikes in City Creek Canyon and surrounding hills, which honed his observational skills and sense of adventure. In the pioneer settlement of Salt Lake City, family worship, ward meetings, and community service were integral to daily life. In 1934, Hardy was later ordained as a member of the First Council of the Seventy, contributing to the church’s global administrative and teaching effort.

Ergo, the Public Inquiry would hear of the virtues of observational skills when venturing into the rugged outdoors, and of knitting wards into broader systems, that required teaching administration, and skills across the range of fields to sustain life.

During most of the Inquiry’s first day, September 30th 1963, much of the testimony was about the radio navigation technology, communications with the DC-3 and the lack of matching radio navigation link-up at the Tauranga Airport. And, while this issue of corresponding equipments spilled over in the beginning of the second day, the Inquiry’s second day was mostly taken up with local witness accounts of the last two minutes of the doomed DC-3’s flight in cloudy, rainy, turbulent weather conditions.

So, what are the odds that the day the Public Inquiry opened, on September 30 1963, was also the day the U.S. Navy completed its first of the regular Antarctica Flights to McMurdo Sound with faster, long-range aircraft landing on the newly completed 9000-foot long ski-landing airfield? The Press reported two U.S. Navy Hercules touched down on the new ice runway in overcast weather with a temperature of -22°Celcius.

Ergo, a transportation development theme was codified into the commencement date.

The United States military began its regular seasonal flights from Christchurch International Airport to Antarctica’s McMurdo Sound, following early exploratory and initial flights in the 1955-56 Operation Deep Freeze season involving the United States Air Force, Air National Guard and Royal New Zealand Air Force at Harewood Airport, Christchurch. Ergo, in Deep Freeze 63, the two ski-equipped, four-engine turboprop LC-130F’s, military transporters of the U.S. Navy’s Antarctic Development Squadron Six (VXE-6), landed at 5.47am and 6.37am on September 30 1963, on the new 9,000-foot ice runway at McMurdo, with the best navigational gear to mitigate crashes.

While N.Z.’s internal post-war civilian infrastructure development was patchy, the armed forces were mobilized for virtue-signalling imperial projects in Antarctica.

To build Scott Base and assist the U.S. Navy with establishing McMurdo Station and the ongoing needs for Operation Deep Freeze, New Zealand’s three branches of defence — Navy, Air Force and Army — provided logistics, supplies and navigational support in the mid-1950s and onward through the time of the Kaimai Crash Inquiry.

The Public Inquiry concluded its hearing on October 15 1963. This date carried a potency, since it was on October 15 1877 that the former Governor, George Grey became premiere of the colony. He led the fight against Julius Vogel’s proposal to abolish the system of provincial governments that he had helped establish under the 1852 Constitution, but this challenge was unsuccessful. Like other New Zealand leaders, especially Vogel, he saw New Zealand’s destiny as being head of a Pacific empire, but he opposed New Zealand’s federation with Australia at the Australian Federal Convention in Sydney in 1891. Where Grey lost his fight to retain the provincial governments, and opposed New Zealand being federated with Australia, NAC had relinquished the Pacific routes, such as to Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, the Cook Islands and the Norfolk Islands to Tasman Empire Airways Limited (the forerunner to Air N.Z.), while the resourcing of its domestic routes remained patchy, particularly the feeders to provinces — and while the state and councils shirked on navigational aids.

Potently, a milestone date occurred on October 15 1961 when a crowd of 70,000 gathered at Harewood Aerodrome, Christchurch, to view the U.S. Air Force’s C-133s, C-130BLs, and C-124s land with two Swiss-manufactured 37,000-pound snowmilling machines picked up from Chatearoux Air Station, France, as well as two automatic weather stations, and with spare parts, and equipment supplies — alongside PV2s.

So, the Kaimai DC-3 Crash of July 3 1963 riffed off the date, July 3 1866, when Governor George Grey bragged in Parliament that the major conflicts in the North Island had ended, while he also endorsed the Cook Strait Telegraph Cable as a critical project in national development. How uncanny that the Kaimai Crash Inquiry would conclude its public hearings on October 15 1963, since it was the same day when George Grey became the Premiere on October 15 1877 in an attempt to save his provincial system, with its in-built independence, parochial pettiness and conflicts.

And, while two key dates associated with the Kaimai Inquiry corresponded with milestones in Operation Deep Freeze: the start date, September 30 1963, occurred in parallel with the landing of two ski-equipped Lockheed C-130 Hercules transporters on the new 9,000-foot ice runway at McMurdo, on September 30 1963, and supported with the best navigational gear to mitigate costly crashes; and the end date, October 15 1963, corresponded with the milestone date, October 15 1961, when 70,000 muggles gathered at Harewood Aerodrome, Christchurch, to view the U.S. Air Force’s military transporters with two Swiss-made snowmilling machines to grate the ice and snow smooth and fill in the crevices, cavities and cracks. And, given that Captain Derek Leonard Enchmarch did not sight the Kaimai Range, what are the odds the report’s release date, November 28 1963, corresponded with the date, November 28 1911, when Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his South Pole team first sighted the Trans-Antarctic Mountain Range last thing at night, some four months before their tragic deep freeze?

As a metaphorical snow-milling machine, the Inquiry grated the ice and snow, and fill in the crevices, cavities, and cracks to deliver a report as smooth as the new 9,000-foot ice runway at McMurdo Sound, like it were a milestone in ‘Operation Kaimai Breeze’.

Where Captain Enchmarch died in a firey crash of the DC-3 on a ravine in the Kamai Range on a routine unlicensed flight ‘Round the Rocks’ of the North Island in a gale, Captain Scott died in a tent from the extreme cold, exhaustion and starvation on a return journey from the South Pole, in a blizzard just 11 miles from a One Ton Depot.

Ergo, the firey demise of the Hawke’s Bay Skyliner in a rainy gale was a staged inversion of the icey demise of the Scott Expedition in a chilly blizzard, that muggles wouldn’t decode, since they naïvely believed that New Zealand was immune from endemic evil.

The thematic date-riffs associated with the Court of Inquiry prove that the probe was theater to smooth the plot’s rough surfaces, by shoving the metaphorical icy snow into the factual crevices, cavities, and cracks to establish a narrative to hide the conspiracy.

Reading the refractions through a cracked looking glass, these inversions belied a Wonderland of militarist wizardry and witchcraft gleefully mocking muggles.

On the surface this correspondence appears unrelated, or it may seem like a benignly subtle reminder — via the news — about the need for careful flight planning, better weather forecasting and a thorough consideration of the terrain by civil aviators.

However, the date correspondences take on an uncanny load with the publication of the crash report, released by Mr McAlpine, ten weeks after the Inquiry closed.

The report of the Public Inquiry was published on November 28 1963, which thematically riffed off the historical day, November 28 1911, that Captain Robert F. Scott and his South Pole team first sighted the Trans-Antarctic Mountains last thing at night. Ergo, the DC-3 airmen didn’t see the ranges looming straight in front of them.

Captain Scott’s fateful expedition was intended to locate the South Pole, but the five members of South Pole team died in the harsh chilly Antarctic conditions.

In his book, Erebus and the Dragonfly, Robin Fautley wrote there appeared to be parallels between the Kaimai Crash and the Erebus Crash, and he questioned whether there was a cover-up with Flight 441, as with Erebus, which is regarded as the stand-out in cover-ups by many New Zealanders. Fautley wrote of a cover-up philosophy endemic to some establishment figures of New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Like John King, Richard Waugh, and Simon Gault, who all took a ‘second look’ at the demise of Flight 441, Fautley failed to detect the theme of technological obsolescence and technical upgrades that had underpinned the Kaimai Crash — by design.

These staged disasters play with the tactic of inversion, where naïveté is cultured into the gentile peasant monkeys, such that they plan for success without asking the critical counter-question: what would guarantee failure? Yet, initiates of secret orders also learn about inversions in metaphorical ceremonial stages, journeys, and trials with symbol-laden allegorical tales performed as rituals to achieve degrees of a craft.

As such, the full dispatch explores the ‘Kaimai DC-3 Disaster’ as a novel Gladio staged terror event, as part of a series of ‘worst of type disasters’ inflicted upon New Zealanders, to shift the political center of gravity by embroiling state, district and city officials. Ergo, the public inquiries are performative theater and are part of the cover-ups, to deflect attention horizontally among the monkeys to cue arguments about blame, while never imagining the cause is a pyramidic cryptocracy inflicting novel Trojan Horse attacks. The mayhem-makers behind the ‘Kaimai Crash’ gleefully overlayed their own cryptic cypher into the crisis and its aftermath with their symbol sorcery, by riffing off the historical moments with psychotic humour — to hack reality.

➳ But Why? Thematic Historical Date Riffing to Signal Ruptures from the Past

The supposition presented here is that following World War II, a kind of warfare was imported into New Zealand that was so novel in its nature, that neither its immigrant or native populations world suspect they were being subjected to a psychic-voodoo.

In post-war Western Europe, a low-grade secret war was inflicted by NATO that exploited a ‘strategy of tension’ designed to frighten the mass populaces and thereby shift the political center of gravity to the ‘right’ and away from socialism by blaming left-wing communist groups, and associating freedom and democracy with capitalism. Swiss historian Daniel Ganser showed the subversion of Western Europe by the fascist Gladio network, which represented a radical shift in warfare, in his groundbreaking study, NATO’s Secret Armies: Operation and Terrorism in Western Europe.

But, in New Zealand, no one would believe the communists were that militant.

In N.Z., this novel clandestine warfare has featured a general trend in increasing its techno-prowess, while a ‘cryptocratic dark state’ network grew in size, sway and sophistication. But always, one characteristic remained a constant; a thematic riffing off historical events to signify a cryptographic disaster, where the worst types of tragedy out-do the previous ‘bests’ in natural disasters, or unintended human-made crises. Or, where a calamity is staged to look like an illness, a lone wolf, or beyond N.Z.’s control.

This Staged Disasters Down Under series revisits: the Ballantynes’ Fire, 18 November 1947; Tangiwhai Disaster, 24 December 1953; Brynderwyn Bus Tragedy, 7 February 1963; Kaimai DC-3 Disaster, July 3 1963; and the Wahine Disaster, 10 April 1968.

This series of ‘worst types of disasters’, or the diabolical attempts to make them so, joins up with the Darkest Days by Dates Down Under series, starting with the Mount Erebus Disaster in 1979 and continues with the Manawanui Grounding on October 5th 2024, which was precisely 13 years after the Rena Grounding on Astrolabe Reef.

Brazenly, ‘the news’ is weaponized as a vector conveying codified signals that the ‘incidents’ were staged. Date riffs are a key detectable sign communicating threats, cooperation, authorship, and to telegraph covert objectives, scapegoats and rewards.

Snoopman decodes pivotal crises whose timings give away that they were thematically designed to riff off historical events, to signal authorship, cooperation, caution, and to telegraph hidden objectives. The signals show players are communicating their cooperation to take a plot ‘live’, convey hidden aims and to broadcast psychopathic humour, thereby posting themselves like ‘hostages’ — as applied game theory predicts.

In music, a riff is a concise musical phrase that is played multiple times to create a recognizable theme within the song. They provide a foundation and structure to the music, often appearing at the beginning of a song or at the start of a chorus. Where a hook is also a catchy musical idea, and usually only appears once or a few times for greater impact, a riff is repeated as a motif or figure in the melody or accompaniment of a musical composition. In this Staged Disasters Down Under series, the metaphors encoded into the historical date riffs perform as motifs to reveal a narrative arc.

Over the course of hacked time, new district, city and government officials become embroiled in a reset that alters the mandated political trajectory of New Zealand.

Ergo, there lurks another layer to New Zealand’s recent past and the trail of meta-data reveals encrypted ‘glyphs’ or ‘runes’ of a network who ‘hex’ targets in terrible tricks.

Snoopman’s time travelling tale traces an epitome of evil most of his fellow monkeys might thunk could only happen in horror novels, grim stage plays or in epic noir flicks.

As such, this code-breaking dispatch teaches snoop-readers how to apply Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie logic to Nancy Drew or Scooby Doo enduring mysteries, current crimes and unfolding news events in order to spot-light the spooky darkness.

Key Finding: The Kaimai DC-3 Plane Crash was a ritualized victory lap inflicted to threaten the ‘pilots’ and ‘hostesses’ of the Establishments around the nation to better ‘steward’ the Old Boys Networks to navigate the commercial, technological and political transformations underway. 

The thematic date-riffs associated with the staged disaster and the Court of Inquiry prove that the probe was theater to smooth the plot’s rough surfaces, by shoving the metaphorical icy snow into the factual crevices, cavities, and cracks to establish a narrative to hide the conspiracy.

Reading the refractions through a cracked looking glass, these inversions belied a Carrolian Wonderland of militarist wizardry and witchcraft gleefully mocking the hapless naïve muggles.

Theme: This tragedy is one of many staged shocks that have been inflicted upon New Zealand for the best part of eight decades. They reveal how New Zealand’s issues, scandals and crises are thematically encoded with historical riffs to signal authorship, unity, damage control and scapegoats — while telegraphing hidden aims — in plain sight. New Zealand’s staged events occur with spooky precision timing to riff off historical events so that the newsmaking psycho-dramatic terror theater, simultaneously performs as cryptic signals intelligence, boasts its ritualized spectacular power and functions to maintain discipline among a cryptocracy. The  cryptologists’ modus operandi is to encode events with metaphors, to telegraph ruptures with the past, that go live as the syndicate’s chess pieces perform their scripted and improvised moves.

Snapshot: The staging of a DC-3 crash in the Kaimai Range on July 3 1963 was signalled by the date it occurred. It was timed to thematically riff off the date July 3 1866, when Freemason Governor Bro. George Grey delivered a speech in Parliament endorsing the upcoming laying of the Cook Strait Telegraph Cable as an important national development project. Officially, the DC-3 crash, which killed 23, was primarily caused by inadequate provision of navigation beacons. 

Ergo, the crash occurred amid a national civil aviation boom that required navigation technology upgrades, an accelerated phasing out of the domestic piston-engine era, and ceasing the tiresome provincial rivalries. Codified into the dates associated with this catalytic aviation catastrophe were clusters of transportation-themed historical events, combined with technological obsolescence metaphors, to signal a victory lap in an ongoing covert civil war. 

Terrorism, according to the Oxford Universal Dictionary [1933 Edition revised 1964. 3rd Edition], is a system of terror, government by intimidation; the system of the ‘Terror’ (1793-4); a policy intended to strike with terror those against whom it is adopted; the fact of terrorizing or condition of being terrorized (such as in 1798 during the French Revolution).

*The adjective “terrific” derived from the Latin word “terrificus,” which means “causing terror or fear.” Terrific used to describe events that inspired fear or terror, but by the late 19th Century the adjective came to describe things deemed awe-inspiring. This shift in meaning paved the way for the contemporary usage of “terrific” as an adjective of praise and admiration, like humanity had come under the spell of dark wizards and witches skilled in symbol sorcery.

A note for international snoop-readers: An endearing idiosyncrasy of New Zealanders is that they refer themselves as ‘Kiwis’, a flightless nocturnal fat beaky avian creature that eats roots and leaves. Ironically, New Zealand soldiers adopted the Kiwi as a monika during World War I; a conflict that resulted from a conspiracy discussed on February 15 1890 at Nathaniel Rothschild’s mansion, to re-invigorate the British Empire.* The South Pacific archipelago is comprised of two main islands. They underwent some names changes, and to keep it simple for migrating British peoples boarding the New Zealand Company ships at port, they came to be called the North Island and the South Island. Where Australia was colonized with Britain’s excess cohorts of disobedient convicts, New Zealand was colonized with Britain’s excess cohorts of conformist simpletons.

* A conspiracy to reforge the British Empire was greenlighted at Lord Nathaniel Rothschild’s country estate on February 15th 1890, as Gerry Doherty’s and Jim Macgregor’s recount in Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War. The 1890 scheme evolved into a plot for war against Germany with Russia as an ally to get the two to smash each other twice, because a British Secret Élite viewed the possibility of a trade alliance between Germany and Russia as a death knell to the British Empire. This Secret Élite established the Round Table Movement in 1909, which published a journal to get élites to rally around the Empire, promising a ‘universal peace’, which would require colossal conflicts embroiling the world and vanquishing enemies. 

Naturally, these degenerate men didn't consult any focus groups of seven year-olds, who could have unbraided their flawed logic, since forging a ‘universal peace’ meant totalitarianism. Their diabolical plan was to destroy nation state autonomy, with super-imperialists ruling the world, as Guido Preparata’s Conjuring Hitler: How Britain and America Made the Third Reich, and William Engdahl’s A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order — make abundantly clear. But, Britain over-reached, and it’s empire morphed. Therefore, this dispatch presents the supposition that an undeclared war was inflicted across the so-called West. In New Zealand, this covert war initially took form as novel Trojan Horse-staged disasters, amid an on-going Third Hundred Years’ War forging a new imperial instrument of expansion: technofeudalism. 

➳ Overview: The Kaimai Plane Crash, 3 July 1963 — Death Toll: 23

A PLANE CRASH in the Kaimai Range on July 3 1963 is most remembered as a case of a WWII-era aircraft blown off course in atrocious weather. The newly refurbished National Airways Corporation-owned DC-3 was carrying 23 people — who all died.

It was widely reported at the time as New Zealand’s worst air accident. After Erebus, it’s designation as an ‘internal crash’ requalified it among the ‘worst of type disasters’.

One of the enduring mysteries of the Kaimai Crash, was why Flight 441 was flying into a gale and headed for ranges categorised as non-mountainous terrain on its way to an airport that lacked corresponding equipment for the DC-3 to track its distance from the destination — on a route that NAC was not licensed to operate, for over six years. After all, you’d have thought that a crown department having a Minister of Civil Aviation called John McAlpine (1960 to 1966), would have had a better grasp that ‘ranges’ is a noun word describing long rocky jaggery mountains, and that the Air Services Licensing Authority might have noticed NAC’s 441 flights were unregistered.

Particularly since the 441 route — which commenced from the former RNZAF air base at Whenuapai, to Tauranga, and onto Gisborne, Napier, Palmerston North, and Wellington, and Wanganui, Hamilton and Whenuapai — was wryly referred to as ‘Round the Rocks’, since the inland territories of the ‘North Island’ are mountainous.

But, perhaps the Transport and Air Department Minister had been overly preoccupied with the investigation into the staged ‘Brynderwyn Bus Disaster’ of February 7 1963, which remains N.Z.’s worst land transport disaster. What are the odds the bus crash occurred on the same date that N.Z.’s worst shipwreck happened, on February 7 1863, when the HMS Orpheus sank. Where the wreck of the Orpheus was the costliest day of the ‘Land Wars’ for the British during Queen Victoria’s reign, the wreck of a Waikato Bus Services’ coach was the costliest Waitangi Celebration during Queen Elizabeth II’s reign — for Māori. The Waikato Bus was a converted WWII-era army truck. It’s rear brakes weren’t checked in the three services and two certificate of fitnesse tests in the four months leading up to the fateful day following the trip to Waitangi.

The DC-3s were military transporters in WWII. NAC’s DC-3, ZK-AYZ, started its work-horse life as a RNZAF transporter of troops, equipment and supplies flying to Bougainville for the brutal campaign against the Imperial Forces of Japan.

As transport minister, Mr McAlpine had focussed on modernizing New Zealand’s land transport with diesel locomotives replacing steam-powered ones, after the staged Tangiwai Disaster, and favouring trucks as land transport over rail freight haulage.

Although the DC-3 was equipped with distance-measuring equipment (DME), this gear only worked if it were paired with the same DME ground equipment. Since Tauranga Airport did not have this DME technology installed at the time of the crash, the pilots were deemed to have been unaware of their true position before descent.

Former Māori Television news and current affairs editor Steve Snoopman presents the case that the ‘Kaimai Plane Disaster’ was staged as a ritualized ‘victory lap’, following the ‘Brynderwyn Bus Disaster’ the day after Waitangi Day 1963. Amid a strong Māori presence, a kapa haka group who had performed songs before the monarch, were slayed in a staged ‘accident’ when the brakes failed while descending the Brynderwyn Range. ‘Waitangi ’63’ was proof that the once ‘hostile Natives’ had been truly subdued, after so many of their generation perished amid World War II in the Maori Battalion.

Uncannily, the pairing of the Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) that was aboard the crashed DC-3 and that had been withheld from Tauranga Airport, was installed three weeks and three days later, on July 27 1963. What are the odds of this new DME tech coming into operation on the very same day, that one of New Zealand’s foremost pioneering aviators George Bolt, died? After all, it was George Bolt who ran a refresher course for ex-World War I pilots in the mid-1920s, who’d later form the nucleus of the New Zealand Air Force, that sold their DC-3’s to NAC after WWII.

Other provincial airports not on the main trunk routes were equipped with the DME tech, that could be paired with the DC-3s in the months after the Kaimai Crash.

Given that George Bolt as a teenager launched a glider, that he had built at age 18, from the Cashmere Hills, is it not creepy, spooky symbol sorcery that before NAC’s DC-3 ZK-AYZ crashed, it was photographed for the airline’s marketing material flying around Banks Peninsula? After all, it was the hand-gliders, such as Ralph Court, an expert glider pilot and, at the time of the crash, President of the New Zealand Gliding Association, who gave valuable testimony at the Court of Public Inquiry about severe downdrafts and invisible atmospheric currents near high jaggery rocky terrain.

The Cashmere Hills are an affluent residential suburb located on the lower northern slopes of the Port Hills, that rise sharply above Christchurch City, and through which a rail tunnel links the city to Lyttleton’s port, while to the south of the harbour lays Banks Peninsula, with a cog-wheel-shaped coastline jutting out of the South Island, with plenty of hidden coves, isolated bays and deep ridges forged by volcanic violence.

How uncanny was it it then that Mr McAlpine opened the Civil Administration and Meteorological Services Aeronautical College at Christchurch Airport on April 5 1964? After all, it was on April 5 1871, that Freemason Dr Isaac Featherston departed Wellington to take up a post as the first Agent-General in London. In this role, he would raise capital for the national development focussed on infrastructure projects.

Ergo, the ‘cryptologists’ codified a victory lap with new DME tech starting on July 27.

As with all of these staged disasters, their cover stories play on an apparent individual, institutional, or ideological ‘failure’, to identify and avoid pitfalls, blind spots, and common mistakes, that practically guarantee the odds of a catastrophic crisis.

These staged disasters play with the tactic of inversion, where naïveté is cultured into the gentile peasant monkeys, such that they plan for success without asking the critical counter-question: what would guarantee failure? Yet, initiates of secret orders also learn about inversions in metaphorical ceremonial stages, journeys, and trials with symbol-laden allegorical tales performed as rituals to achieve degrees of a craft.

As such, this dispatch explores the ‘Kaimai DC-3 Disaster’ as a novel Gladio staged terror event, as part of a series of ‘worst of type disasters’ inflicted upon New Zealanders, to shift the political center of gravity by embroiling state, district and city officials. Ergo, the public inquiries are performative theater and are part of the cover-ups, to deflect attention horizontally among the monkeys to cue arguments about blame, while never imagining the cause is a pyramidic cryptocracy inflicting novel Trojan Horse attacks. The mayhem-makers behind the ‘Kaimai Crash’ gleefully overlayed their own cryptic cypher into the crisis and its aftermath with their symbol sorcery, by riffing off the historical moments with psychotic humour — to hack reality.

The supposition presented here is that following World War II, a kind of warfare was imported into New Zealand that was so novel in its nature, that neither its immigrant or native populations world suspect they were being subjected to a psychic-voodoo.

In post-war Western Europe, a low-grade secret war was inflicted by NATO that exploited a ‘strategy of tension’ designed to frighten the mass populaces and thereby shift the political center of gravity to the ‘right’ and away from socialism by blaming left-wing communist groups, and associating freedom and democracy with capitalism. Swiss historian Daniel Ganser showed the subversion of Western Europe by the fascist Gladio network, which represented a radical shift in warfare, in his 2005 book, NATO’s Secret Armies: Operation Gladio and Terrorism in Western Europe.

But, in New Zealand, no one would believe the communists were that militant.

In N.Z., this novel clandestine warfare has featured a general trend in increasing its techno-prowess, while a ‘cryptocratic dark state’ network grew in size, sway and sophistication. But always, one characteristic remained a constant; a thematic riffing off historical events to signify a cryptographic disaster, where the worst types of tragedy out-do the previous ‘bests’ in natural disasters, or unintended human-made crises. Or, where a calamity is staged to look like an illness, a lone wolf, or beyond N.Z.’s control.

This Staged Disasters Down Under series revisits: the Ballantynes’ Fire, 18 November 1947; Tangiwhai Disaster, 24 December 1953; Brynderwyn Bus Tragedy, 7 February 1963; Kaimai DC-3 Disaster, July 3 1963; and the Wahine Disaster, 10 April 1968.

This series of ‘worst types of disasters’, or the diabolical attempts to make them so, joins up with the Darkest Days by Dates Down Under series, starting with the Mount Erebus Disaster in 1979 and continues with the Manawanui Grounding on October 5th 2024, which was precisely 13 years after the Rena Grounding on Astrolabe Reef.

Brazenly, ‘the news’ is weaponized as a vector conveying codified signals that the ‘incidents’ were staged. Date riffs are a key detectable sign communicating threats, cooperation, authorship, and to telegraph covert objectives, scapegoats and rewards.

Snoopman decodes pivotal crises whose timings give away that they were thematically designed to riff off historical events, to signal authorship, cooperation, caution, and to telegraph hidden objectives. The signals show players are communicating their cooperation to take a plot ‘live’, convey hidden aims and to broadcast psychopathic humour, thereby posting themselves like ‘hostages’ — as applied game theory predicts.

In music, a riff is a concise musical phrase that is played multiple times to create a recognizable theme within the song. They provide a foundation and structure to the music, often appearing at the beginning of a song or at the start of a chorus. Where a hook is also a catchy musical idea, and usually only appears once or a few times for greater impact, a riff is repeated as a motif or figure in the melody or accompaniment of a musical composition. In this Staged Disasters Down Under series, the metaphors encoded into the historical date riffs perform as motifs to reveal a narrative arc.

Over the course of hacked time, new district, city and government officials become embroiled in a reset that alters the mandated political trajectory of New Zealand.

Ergo, there lurks another layer to New Zealand’s recent past and the trail of meta-data reveals encrypted ‘glyphs’ or ‘runes’ of a network who ‘hex’ targets in terrible tricks.

Snoopman’s time travelling tale traces an epitome of evil most of his fellow monkeys might thunk could only happen in horror novels, grim stage plays or in epic noir flicks.

As such, this code-breaking dispatch teaches snoop-readers how to apply Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie logic to Nancy Drew or Scooby Doo enduring mysteries, current crimes and unfolding news events in order to spot-light the spooky darkness.

➳ Decoding the Kaimai Crash by Dates

On Wednesday July 3 1963, National Airways Corporation Flight 441 departed from Whenuapai at 8:21am for a flight to Tauranga and slammed into a vertical rock face on a ridge at Mount Ngatamahinerua in the Kaimai Ranges, North Island at 9:09am.

The DC-3 plane had struck a deep bush-clad rock-face at an altitude of around 2460 ft (750m) at 140kmh and caught fire on impact. It was 100 feet below the top of the ridge.

The entire wreckage, minus the starboard engine, was lodged in a U-shaped cleft. An intense down-draft, known locally as the ‘Kamai Breeze’, was deemed the probable proximate cause of the collision. The DC-3 had flown up the valley consistent with where the wreckage was wedged, and the aircraft was laterally level at impact, while the aircraft was caught in a vertical descent and its nose was up, attempting a climb.

Numerous eyewitnesses saw the DC-3 before it disappeared in cloud, or in the hills.

Joyce Brumby was feeding a calf south of Manawaru, when she heard the engines rev like the DC-3 was trying to climb the hills, and a few seconds later the engines ceased, followed by a roar. The pilots were dealing with the undulating waves of the ‘Kaimai Breeze’ up-and-down-drafts, while eyewitnesses glimpsed the DC-3 in the low cloud.

The fuel tanks ruptured and an intense fire destroyed most of the cabin area, charring broken bodies. One man survived some hours. However, the wreckage was not sighted until about 11.30am on July 4 and the first of a ground party did not reach the wreckage until the morning of July 5, when they were lowered by two helicopters.

The wreckage was 400 yards from a trig station, 100 yards from the crest of a ravine.

Pilot Len Enchmarch and First Officer Peter G.G. Kissel were flying blind in cloud.

At 9.06am, the pilot contacted the Tauranga Airport Control Tower, requested descent from 5,100 feet to 4,100 feet and gave an estimated arrival time of 9.08am. The Control Tower tried to make contact at 9.14am and again at 9.16am, but the DC-3 had crashed.

Amid poor visibility, the cockpit crew were relying on the onboard radio compass that pointed at the destination radio beacon. In theory, the needle pointed at Tauranga. The compass showed the pilot and co-pilot their direction to Tauranga, but not their actual position. Moreover, there emerges a controversy over the signal power of the powerful Auckland Control Tower beacon. It’s transmission may have bled into the transmission of the Tauranga Control Tower, since their frequencies were close.

Whenuapai’s powerful Non-Directional Beacon (NDB) frequency was set at 336 kHZ, while Tauranga’s less powerful NDB transmitted at the frequency of 340 kHZ.

The north easterly gale blew the plane, and with no visibility of the landscape below, the pilots were unaware that they had flown to the western side of the Kaimai Ranges, rather than over the top them. They thought they were descending over flat terrain.

Given that in the immediate aftermath of an air crash, that in part resulted from a lack of complementary distance measuring equipment (DME) at the destination airport, and other navigational equipment and instrument radio beacons — how uncanny was it that the collision happened on the same day, when Freemason Governor Grey gave a speech on July 3 1866 and mentioned the upcoming Cook Strait Cable project. At the opening of the Fourth Parliament, Grey recognized the cable as a top priority for the nation’s development and a critical linkage for the country’s telegraph networks.

“The extension of Telegraphic Communication within the Colony, by means of the Electric Cable shortly to be laid across Cook Strait, will also conduce to the progress of the country and the development of its resources. Measures will be taken as early as possible for continuing this means of communication throughout the Northern Island.”

— Governor Bro. George Grey, Parliament, The New Zealand Gazette, July 3 1866.

Ergo, the Kaimai Crash plotters were telegraphing new gear would soon be deployed.

Brazenly, the ‘cryptologists’ who scripted this sinister plot were gleefully signalling they could inflict a civilian massacre with impunity. In his parliamentary speech of July 3rd 1866, Governor Grey stated that “Her Majesty’s Native subjects would learn acts of violence cannot be practised with impunity” by “firmness towards the turbulent”, they would learn “the advantages derived from the habits of Law, and a respect for Order”, while the [patriarchial masonic ruling class] maintained a “perseverance in a policy of kindness and consideration towards the well disposed”.

Potently, Grey had also declared his pride that the major conflicts in the North Island had ended and the “hostile Natives” had been subdued, which carried considerable weight because he was Commander-In-Chief of the Arm Forces. As such, Bro. Grey was the primary consolidator of the New Zealand Masonic Revolutionary War.

He cautioned there were districts requiring for a time, a sufficient force to “repress outrage”, and maintain Her Majesty’s authority with “firmness towards the turbulent”.

Let Snoopman seguey to lay out the turbulence of the post-World War II boom era, for it lays the groundwork for comprehending the subtextual metaphors baked into the DC-3’s demise. Equipped with conspiracy seerist sight, snoop-readers can learn to decode the symbol sorcery synchronized to hack reality, snatch lives from souls, and sever community connections forever, in sinister plots designed by ‘cryptologists’.

➳ Sequey to the 1951 Watersiders Strike, ANZUS and the CIA’s ‘Air America’

During the turbulent time of the Watersiders Strike of 1951, McAlpine proved he was a National Party man when he worked on the wharves at the Port of Lyttleton despite threats, while New Zealand Railways secretly contracted with the CIA’s proprietary airline, Civilian Air Transport (CAT), to fly cargo by night to maintain commerce and break the strike. McAlpine’s political seat was the large Selwyn District bordering Christchurch, Canterbury. To accelerate the breaking of the wharfies’ strike, Freemason Prime Minister Bro. Sidney Holland dissolved parliament and announced a snap election on 11 July 1951. After five months of picketing, lock-outs, and cargo flights, Mr Holland’s hardball leadership forced the capitulation of the unions, and led to 20 years of dominance by the National Party over New Zealand’s political landscape.

The central tension was that the watersiders were being made to work the war-time hours established by the Fraser Government’s Waterfront Industry Commission, without overtime and with ‘worker loyalty’ pressure and the stigma of being branded a communist, amid a cost of living crisis of the post-war boom. The wharves were controlled by British shipping companies, who refused a pay increase on a par with that awarded to wharfies covered by the Arbitration Court. Moreover, the British shipping companies wouldn’t upgrade with technnologies and techniques that wharfies had encountered as enlisted men while in America during World War II.

These tensions had brewed for more than a year, amid pressures to train fighting-aged working men in combat tactics as a part of a ‘Pacific Defence’ during the Korean War.

Freemason Prime Minister Bro. Sidney Holland declared a state of emergency on February 22 1951, seven days after the strike began, and he put the army and navy to work at the docks, while the state-owned NAC transported freight, and the CIA’s Civil Air Transport planes flew 1300 flights by night across the Cook Strait, since the the Railways Department ferries were stuck in the docks. But, while on the surface the nation was sharply divided in class warfare, there was a deeper covert war in play.

The date that Mr Holland dissolved parliament and announced a snap election on July 11 1951 carried a potency, since it was on July 11 1913 that the newspapers reported on the final day of the Labour Unity Conference in Wellington, New Zealand, with headlines, “No Compromise At the ‘Unity’ Conference” (Evening Post, July 11 1913) and “United Labour Party will Fight the Revolutionaries”(Dominion July 11 1913).

This Unity Congress was foundational and led to an organized working class.

The Labour Conference, held in Wellington from July 1 to 10 1913, brought together around 400 delegates from both moderate and militant trade unions. The conference
dissolved the “Red Feds” (the New Zealand Federation of Labour) and established a dual-structure organization with two major labor bodies: the militant industrial wing United Federation of Labour (UFL) and the political wing Social Democratic Party (SDP), to operate together toward unifying the New Zealand working-class movement.

The central tension of the July 1913 congress was a philosophical clash between “militants” (advocating for revolutionary syndicalism and general strikes) and “moderates” (who favored reform through the established Arbitration Court). Although the 1913 congress successfully negotiated a compromise between rival factions on paper, this newly formed “unity” soon met the friction of those stirring for a confrontation with the Establishment and those seeking non-revolutionary ideas and methods. Later that year, the massive 1913 Great Waterfront Strike erupted. This pivotal event in New Zealand’s industrial disputes history evolved into severe civil disturbances and clashes between unionists and special constables. The ‘Specials’ met nightly at the Establishment’s Wellesley Club, before night patrols in Wellington.

The defeat of the unions by the conservative government temporarily crippled both the UFL and the SDP. Despite this setback, the blueprint for combining industrial and political wings forged at the Wellington Unity Conference laid the crucial groundwork for the establishment of the New Zealand Labour Party in 1916.

Yet, where the working class and its leadership were divided in both strategic vision and tactical direction which led to a failure to act decisively at crucial moments, in 1913 and 1951, the capitalist ruling class wasn’t divided on oligarchic wealth defence.

Where during the Great Watersiders Strike of 1913, Charles Holdsworth, general manager of the Union Steam Ship Company regarded it as “an incipient class war”, and Governor General, Lord Liverpool, opined that the UFL had declared a provisional government — during the Great Watersiders Strike of 1951, Prime Minister Sidney Holland deployed emotive Cold War rhetoric to describe the Waterstrikers as an enemy menace within, committing industrial anarchy.

In 1913, the New Zealand Herald reported on July 11, the idea of a ‘Defence Fund’ discussed at the Auckland Branch of the New Zealand Employers’ Federation. Amid a growing number of strikes in 1912, the logic of a Dominion-wide Defence Fund supplied from employers from all industries, was in discussion throughout the country at the various provincial branches. From the Employers’ Federation viewpoint, the idea sought to address the need to act in concert, throughout the Dominion, to firmly band together for their mutual protection to fight the strikes of “the agitator” to a finish, by drawing on the Defence Fund, rather than letting a particular industry or employer flail, conceding and adds pressure to other industries.

In 1951, the early election triggered by Holland, took place on 1 September, the same day the ANZUS military alliance was signed with the US and Australia in San Francisco. Amid the Cold War, the timing’s subtext cast the strikers as communists.

In February 1951, US Secretary of State John Dulles visited Australia and New Zealand to discuss the ANZUS treaty and the possibility of concluding a Pacific security arrangement amid fears of a resurgent Japan in the Pacific. It became apparent that such support would be dependent upon the United States providing New Zealand with some formal security guaranty. The terms of a Japanese Peace Treaty were also announced on July 11 1951, the same date Mr Holland dissolved parliament and announced the snap election in a chess play of brinkmanship.

Four days later, the outplayed watersiders union representatives capitulated on a metaphorically tilted political chess board, that had the working class moving pieces ‘uphill’. Yet, the divided nation didn’t perceive there was a deeper invisible war in play to destabilize, divide and defeat the geographically-isolated archipelago, over decades.

➳ The Kaimai DC-3 Crash Connection

The foundational event in this covert war — that manifests ‘worst of type’ disasters or other kinds catalytic shocks, as its most attenuated feature — was the Ballantynes’ Fire of November 18 1947. It occurred on the same day as the passage of the State Fire Insurance Act of November 18 1903. Underpinning this clandestine warfare was a degenerate militarist logic known as a ‘strategy of tension’, to shift the center of political gravity, by place, by institution and by time, as each crisis shock struck and embroiled officials in cover-ups. The requisite inquiries worked as mechanisms to control the damage, achieve the desired reforms, and gain lucrative contracts, while the consent for change was manufactured through the news media; who for their part, failed to review the patterns as these ‘worst of type’ catastrophes piled up the carnage.

The next staged disaster was the Tangiwai Train Disaster of December 24 1953, which was timed to riff off the same evening that the Church of England’s trailblazing first missionary slept restlessly in the Bay of Islands on the evening of December 24 in 1814, before he would perform the first Christian Christmas Service to the ‘uncivilized natives’ the following day, December 25th, at Oihi Beach, in the Bay of Islands. What are the odds, for a night train terror ‘accident’ to occur while many passengers slept restfully on the Wellington to Auckland Express? Especially, given that this “most grievous railway accident” occurred two days into the Coronation Tour of 1953-54, and uncannily gifted the new Queen the moment to broadcast the tragic news to the waning British Empire, via radio. How uncanny, given the British Monarch is the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, or Anglocized Catholicism, a faith of Christianity, itself invented by the Roman Imperial Cult, that created a phantom.

And then came a bus crash in the Brynderwyn Ranges on February 7 1963, that occurred on the same day when New Zealand’s worst shipwreck happened, on February 7 1863. This ritualized rite of revenge signalled a rupture with the past, and that the historic grievances of the ‘hostile Natives’ were long dead and buried. The crash, which killed 15 was carrying a Māori cultural group returning from Waitangi after performing kapa haka waiata (synchronized dance and song) before the Queen.

And so, what better way to focus the attention of the masonic deputies and soldiers of the nation’s emergent cryptocratic dark state, than to smash a propeller-driven DC-3 — famed as a reliable World War II-era transporter — into a lengthy range known to locals to produce the turbulent ‘Kaimai Breeze’? Ergo, layered into the Kaimai Crash was the characteristic psychopathic humour to telegraph a rupture with the past.

After all, with the upgrade to NAC’s DC-3s as the Skyliners, amidst a domestic civil aviation boom, there was a pressing need for public finances to fund technological upgrades for communications equipment to link the radio transmission and receiver networks. What better way to gain control over more officials, institutions and districts, than to inflict a staged airliner ‘accident’ that required a cover-up?

In 1960s New Zealand, amidst a low-grade fifth generation war, and with the “hostile Natives” subdued, the dynamism of technological development brought about by two world wars, had made possible the capacity to invent the technical means to direct societies as client police states but masked with kind, considerate resource allocations.

Particularly brazen, since N.Z. National Airways Corporation (NAC), was state-owned and was established by the New Zealand National Airways Act, 1945, as the national domestic airline of New Zealand until 1978 when it amalgamated with New Zealand’s international airline, Air New Zealand. The airline was headquartered in Wellington. NAC was itself a government-led amalgamation of the Royal New Zealand Air Force’s (RNZAF) 40 Transport Squadron, Union Airways and a number of other smaller operators, including the country’s first commercial air service Air Travel (NZ) Ltd.

Indeed, NAC was an instrument of national development, as Jim McAloon wrote in the New Zealand Journal of History for his review of Wings of the Nation: A History of the New Zealand National Airways Corporation, 1947–1978 by Peter Aimer (2000). McAlcoon noted that, “NAC was established as a state monopoly by the Labour government in 1947 for excellent reasons, above all that a comprehensive network would mean a slow start to profitability and that private enterprise would be virtually certain to cherry-pick the lucrative trunk routes, leaving provincial connections to languish.”

Ergo, the cryptologists selected July 3 as the crash date to codify the fatal flight with metaphors that imparted NAC’s purpose as an instrument of national development, and it therefore required a nationwide navigation beacon upgrade. But, since an undeclared low-grade war featuring novel Trojan Horse attacks were the means for incrementally capturing the country, and metaphor-laden shocks were the modus operandi for achieving a long range military strategy to forge a techno-feudalist police state — the occasion of Governor Grey’s parliamentary speech of July 3rd 1866, fitted the bill. After all, the ‘Consolidator’ had endorsed the Cook Strait Telegraph Cable.

The pilots believed they were two minutes away from the Tauranga Air Field when they radioed for permission to commence descent. No newsrooms considered whether there was a false radio beacon installed in the Kaimai Range to draw the aircraft off its designated flight track, to ensure it would be caught in a violent down-draft.

The Inquiry heard from DC-3 Captain Bill Montgomerie Pattie, flying from Auckland, who faced a wind speed of 75 knots at 5000 feet, and had encountered turbulence over the Kaimai Range and the plane dropped 1000 feet in seconds, before landing at 10.26 am at Tauranga. Pattie learned of the crash once he landed from a NAC staffer, after flying a DC-3 Viewmaster, ZK-BYE, from Hamilton Airport to Tauranga Airport.

Moreover, the Public Court of Inquiry did not consider whether the inclement weather had been engineered to ensure the take-down of Flight 441. After all, the US Government authorized a weather modification program called Project Cirrus, beginning in 1946. The US Army, Navy, Air Force gained the practical, technical, and physical skills, knowledge and data about how to manipulate the ferocity, trajectory and velocity of hurricanes during this weather modification program. (The USG, and companies, continued to develop weather modification mechanisms into the present).

Moreover, a German intelligence ring stationed in Wellington had penetrated N.Z’.s state bureaucracy, according to Michael Shrimpton. In his book Spyhunter: The Secret History of German Intelligence, Shrimpton claimed that West German military intelligence penetrated the CIA and MI6, and had been carrying out industrial espionage, sabotage, and air terrorism to financially attack jet manufacturers, airliners and state treasuries in an undeclared war targetting civilians. He claimed the crash of Air New Zealand Flight TE901 on November 28 1979 was air terrorism. Shrimpton said the Deutsche Verteidigungs Dienst (DVD) based at Dachau, near Munich, were specialists in talent-spotting and blackmailing future leaders, and often laid false radio beacons to lure aircraft off track, or otherwise sabotaged aircraft.

Amid the storm and with the low cloud obscuring the Kaimais, quarry worker Errol Board heard the roaring engines of the DC-3 and thought the pilots must think they’re on the other side of the ranges on descent over flat terrain. The next thing, he heard a muffled “whoof” and the propeller engines were silenced. He rang the Matamata Police, while the Tauranga Control Tower tried in vain to contact the wrecked aircraft. An initial search was mounted, and Mr Board’s team was instructed by Police to return after two and a half hours of trekking. After four and one-quarter hours, at 3.15pm, they got close on foot, and could smell jet fuel, from across the ravine, but they couldn’t see the plane lodged into the side of a ridge 400 yards away, because the range was blanketed with low cloud, while the storm was still raging.

They returned to the quarry where the lunch-room had become the headquarters for the semi-improvised search operations. Regular Kiwis didn’t comprehend that a stealthy low-grade war had been inflicted since the Ballantynes Fire on November 18 1947 — which itself occurred on the same day that the State Fire Insurance Act was passed on November 18 1903. Had they known, all hell would have broken loose.

➳ A Cover-up Masquerading as an Air Accident Probe and Inquiry

The Public Court of Inquiry was commenced three months after the crash, following an Air Accidents investigation. The Inquiry was conducted by the Judge of the Court of Arbitration, Sir Arthur Tyndall, and the other members were Squadron Leader Dave Thomas, the officer commanding No. 42 Squadron RNZAF, and Captain Fred Allen, a retired NAC captain with considerable DC-3 experience. The appointed secretary was Mr Nigel Haggitt, representing the Air Department and various counsel represented interested parties. They were: H.R.C. ‘Dick’ Wild, QC, and Paul Neazor for the Minister in Charge of Civil Aviation; Denis Blundell and Simon Lockhart for NAC; E.F. ‘Bage’ Page for the next of kin of nine passengers who were killed in the accident; and Alister Macalister for the personal interests of the Captain and First Officer of the aircraft and for the New Zealand Airline Pilots’ Association.

Crash investigators estimated the impact speed went from 140kmh to zero in roughly 3.5 metres. The pilots thought they were on the coastal side of the Kaimai Range, but instead the plane was deemed to have been blown off course by the storm and they were in the leeward side of the Ranges and were caught in a turbulent down-draft.

Pilot Len Enchmarch, and First Officer Peter Kissel attempted to fly up and out, but the thruster power was too little and too late, and the doomed DC-3’s fate was sealed.

The aircraft, was equipped with one magnetic compass, two altimeters, two radio compasses and distance measuring equipment (DME). Prior to the flight, the co-pilot of the standby crew, checked the radio compasses and the distance measuring equipment. Yet, the pilots reported a defect the DME during 24 of 96 flights. The magnetic compass was found to be serviceable by the Dominion Physical Laboratory.

Over the latter part of the flight, the wind at the aircraft’s cruising height of 5000 feet increased to about 75 knots (139 kms/per hour), or possibly higher. But, without the link-up in navigation signals between Tauranga Airfield and the DC-3, neither the doomed pilots, nor the Air Traffic Controller, Murray Christopherson, had any real fix on the actual location of Flight 441 when it radioed for descent to 4100 feet.

The Court came to believe during “the final 15 minutes of the flight, the DC-3’s radio compasses was affected by terrain and the precipitation static, and were not giving accurate tracking guidance”. Justice Tindall, stated that the primary cause of the crash was the strong downward current in the leeward side of the Kaimais. This downdraft thrust the aircraft below the levels of the crested ranges and the plane was caught in extreme turbulence. Afterward, weather forecasters were required to brief air-crews.

The pilots were unable to regain control and recover their lost height before impact.

On the first day of the Inquiry, George Lesley Graham Richardson, one of the Air Traffic Controllers on duty at Whenuapai, said that at 8.35am ZK-AYZ reported an altitude of 5500 feet, and an estimated time of arrival at Tauranga as 9.14 am.

NAC Captain Claude Richard Pocock testified the radio compass could “hunt” and swing right around when the aircraft was in the vicinity of thunderclouds.

NAC Captain Bryan Lloyd Johnson said the radio compass needle could vary by 10 to 12 degrees on a normal day, and that thunderclouds could make the radio compass unserviceable. Captain Johnson said compass variations in the area of the Ranges was generally well known by pilots. When he was asked how long did the DC-3s’ distance measuring equipment remain in contact with Whenuapai, John replied that the distance varied, but it would be exceptional for the beacon to apply all the way to Tauranga. Johnson said he never encountered an altimeter to be out by 1000 feet.

Inspector Air Accidents Branch of the Air Department, Edgar Francis Harvie said the DC-3’s magnetic compass was the only navigation device that was recovered. All other navigation electronics, two altimeters, a distance measuring device with associated calibrator and a radio compass with a needle to show direction, were all destroyed.

In his book, Erebus and the Dragonfly, Robin Fautley about the Air Traffic Control Officer, George Richardson, who was monitoring ZK-AYZ and was in radio contact with that aircraft from Whenuapai Air Field, until he passed on the air traffic control stewardship and communications to Tauranga Tower’s controller, Murray Christopherson. Flautley noted that Richardson recounted he had been threatened he would be breaching the New Zealand Secrets Act if he spoke to the Inquiry of his concerns about the possible transmission bleed between the Auckland and Tauranga air traffic control towers. Richardson also claimed threats were made with reference to his wife and children, which appeared to work since it was only years later that he wrote of his experience in an aviation magazine. The former air traffic controller said there were other air traffic controllers who held the same view.

The cryptocracy exploits individual, institutional, and ideological vulnerabilities.

On 8 July 1963, the minimum altitude over the Kaimai Range was raised by 1,026 feet to 5,126 feet. With this belated high-ground alteration, the Kaimai Range was re-classed as mountainous terrain. This change, described as a precautionary measure, after the predictable calamity, riffed thematically off the historical cutting of the flagstaff at Maiki Hill on July 8 1844 for the first time with Chief Hōne Heke’s consent.

Ergo, after a subversive attack, a ‘moral of the tale’ metaphor was telegraphed, and the ‘non-mountainous terrain’ was toppled by a new virtuous high-ground gazette notice.

The Civil Aviation Administration was culpable in regard to the dawdling timeline for the provision of navigation tech, along with Mr Alpine, whose head was in the clouds.

There were three fatal crashes during NAC’s first few years of operating that led the government to set up a commission to better organize the civil aviation sector.

NAC’s three fatal crashes in its first three years of operation, were all due to a lack of navigational radio beacons in New Zealand. There were: NAC DC-3 Freighter air crashed on 9 August 1948, above Port Underwood, killing two; NAC Lockheed Model 10 Electra crashed on 23 October 1948, into Mt Ruapehu, killing 13; NAC Lockheed Lodestar crashed on 18 March 1949, on approach to Paraparaumu, with 15 dead. A fourth crash occurred on 22 May 1954, when a NAC Douglas DC-3 crash landed on a road by Raumati Beach, on the Kāpiti Coast, killing three unaccompanied infants. This crash was attributed to fuel starvation, due to the wrong fuel line cut-over switch had been activated, causing a failure of the engines, which could not restart.

With this trail of DC-3 air crashes, it’s noteworthy that during their 1953–1954 Royal Tour of New Zealand, Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh safely flew aboard a Douglas Dakota (a military variant of the DC-3). By this time, the main trunk routes had sufficient navigation transmitters and ground radio receivers to communicate with the aircraft, which was operated by the RNZAF’s No. 42 Squadron.

And so, when the royal party departed at Wellington’s Paraparaumu Airport to fly in the RNZAF’s No. 42 Squadron Dakota down to Woodbourne Aerodrome near Blenheim, they benefitted from the ‘lessons learned’ from the early DC-3 accidents.

For instance, the crash of DC-3 Freighter on 9 August 1948, killed the two pilots. NAC’s DC-3, ZK-AOE Parera slammed into Scraggy Ridge, on the seaward slopes between Fighting Bay and Port Underwood, overlooking the entrance to the Tory Channel in the Marlborough Sounds, which is located on the north-east coast of the simply-named, ‘South Island’. Where attentive military eyes and ears were honed on the VIP-configured No. 42 Squadron Dakota — that was specially stripped and refitted with luxury amenities, including leather reclining seats, plush carpets, and rimu wood paneling, to accommodate the royal couple’s travels across the country — NAC’s refurbished formica-panelled DC-3 Hastings was scheduled to meet its doom.

At the time of the Kaimai Crash, the distance measuring equipment corresponding with those aboard the DC-3s, was being installed at Tauranga Airport, according to John King in New Zealand Tragedies: Aviation Accidents and Disasters. In his book, Kaimai Crash: New Zealand’s Worst Internal Air Disaster, Richard Waugh wrote that the Inquiry was told the provision for installation of the DME technology for Tauranga Airport was envisaged to occur concurrent to the provision of the new runway. This runway construction took 13 months from June 1966 to July 1967. How uncanny was it that this new DME tech came into operation on July 27 1963, since it was on the very same day, that one of New Zealand’s foremost pioneering aviators George Bolt died?

Recall how Bolt launched a glider from the Cashmere Hills, Christchurch, that he’d designed and built in 1911 at aged 18? He then pioneered aerial photography, worked as an apprentice mechanic at the Walsh brothers’ New Zealand Flying School in Auckland, experimented with an airmail service, ran refresher courses for ex-service pilots who were to form the nucleus of the New Zealand Air Force, flew as chief pilot for Cook Strait Airways in the mid-1930s, and was appointed chief engineer with the Royal New Zealand Air Force during World War II. And, in 1944, Bolt was appointed chief engineer of Tasman Empire Airways Limited (TEAL), the forerunner of Air New Zealand and he remained with TEAL until his retirement in 1960. Following the quarrying of Maungataketake and Pukeiti volcanic mountains on the Ihumātao Peninsula to construct concrete runways at Auckland Airport, travellers would traverse the George Bolt Memorial Drive, which officially opened in January 1966.

Since the doomed NAC flight departed from Whenuapai, which at the time was Auckland’s main airport, and the DC-3 was bound for Tauranga Airport, what are the odds that George Bolt just happened to die on the same day, July 27 1963, that the poem “Lady of the Elms” was published on July 27 1947, three days after the passing of Alice Heron Maxwell? She was the long-time custodian and resident of The Elms/ Te Papa Tauranga, one of New Zealand’s most significant historic mission houses, located in Tauranga. Significantly, the site of The Elms/Te Papa Tauranga was once a pā, Ōtamataha. During the Musket Wars in 1828, Ōtamataha Pā was raided and sacked by Hauraki tribes. The CMS missionaries gained permission to establish their station at the pā in 1835. Māori continued to live and work on the land, alongside the missionaries, up until the battles of Gate Pā/Pukehinahina and Te Ranga in 1864, during the broader New Zealand Masonic Revolutionary War of 1860 to 1872.

Ergo, the cryptologists codified the link-up in navigation signals following a gleefully performed strategic sabotage to instill terror in those Establishment insiders with the ‘attuned senses’ to decode the ritualized ‘victory lap’, soon after the Brynderwyn Crash.

The Kaimai Crash telegraphed an end to the aviation pioneering era in domestic piston-engine airliners, and to make the international airports jet-age compatible.

On September 23 1963, Air New Zealand (then operating as TEAL) ordered three Douglas DC-8-52 jet aircraft with the approval of McAlpine, and setting the stage for regular trans-Tasman jet flights. This aviation milestone, propelled the country into the international jet age, at a time when the Auckland International Airport was under construction, just happened to thematically riff off the historical date when the HMS New Zealand sailed into Auckland’s Waitemata Harbour on September 23 1919. The Indefatigable-class battlecruiser was launched in 1911, and had been funded by the NZ Government as a naval contribution to the British Empire as the wedge of war with the German Empire narrowed. Ergo, following the technological revolution of World War II, the corporate imperial ‘high-ground’ had shifted to the skies with jet-powered civilian aviation, as part of a broader economic war fought between competing cartels that were ‘Rockefellerizing the world’ with syndicate models.

The same day the ‘Kaimai Disaster Inquiry’ commenced in Hamilton, the New Zealand Press Association reported the New Zealand General Manager of Pan American Airways saying it was still interested in extending its Boeing 707 service to Christchurch International Airport if it were ready before Mangere Airport, and if the airliner was awarded trans-Tasman rights. In an article headlined, “City Faces Jet Service Hurdle” in the Press (Oct. 1, 1963), Pan Am’s New Zealand General Manager Mr. William L. Rolph, said New Zealand was one of the few countries it was operating in, with piston-engined aircraft, adding “We want to replace them”. The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) would need to inspect the airport at before Pan Am could be granted a certificate to fly Boeing 707’s to Christchurch,
Rolph said. Trans-Tasman rights would require intergovernmental approval including with the US and France, since the airline would be wanting to fly to Tahiti as well.

The timing of Pan Am’s press statement’s was at best opportunistic to coincide with the start of the Inquiry into the Kaimai DC-3 crash. Or, it wittingly hinted there was a subtextual layer that underpinned take-down regarding a hidden set of objectives.

The Court of Inquiry did not recommend that all DC-3s be fitted with flight data recorders, because the expense was deemed too high. This decision signalled there was a calculus that lay beneath this case of industrial sabotage-cum-air terrorism, masquerading as a tragic air accident. There was a stiff price to be paid for resourcing technological upgrades, and it included incrementally capturing the target nation, by penetrating institutions to compromise officials with cover-ups across districts, towns, and cities, and through the administrations over the decades. Absent, a controlled release of technological upgrades with a commensurate capture of officials, the American Empire would lose control of this critical structural force, since it fed economic dynamism, which is the basis for maintaining military dominance.

The dates associated with the Public Inquiry were also embedded with thematic riffs.

Given the transportation metaphors codified into the dates associated with this cruel staged airliner crash, the Inquiry’s meta-data yields uncanny correspondences.

Especially, since serious development capital was withheld from the colony until the major conflicts with the ‘hostile Natives’ in the North Island ended in the mid-1860s.

The Public Inquiry opened on September 30 1963, in Hamilton and continued in Wellington, and concluded in the capital on October 15. What are the odds that Rufus K. Hardy, a missionary and church leader with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), concluded his mission in the Waikato and Tauranga districts on September 30 1900, where he had preached among the ‘Maori people’. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, Hardy evidently developed a deep appreciation for nature from childhood hikes in City Creek Canyon and surrounding hills, which honed his observational skills and sense of adventure. In the pioneer settlement of Salt Lake City, family worship, ward meetings, and community service were integral to daily life. In 1934, Hardy was later ordained as a member of the First Council of the Seventy, contributing to the church’s global administrative and teaching effort.

Ergo, the Public Inquiry would hear of the virtues of observational skills when venturing into the rugged outdoors, and of knitting wards into broader systems, that required teaching administration, and skills across the range of fields to sustain life.

Meanwhile, a Boeing 727 touched down at Sydney September 30 1963 while on a 50,000 mile world tour ‘proving flight’. Aboard were executives from Boeing Corporation, Pratt and Whitney and three officers from U.S. Federal Aviation Agency. Australia had its own aviation milestones on this date. On September 30 1929, a radio link was established in Nhill, Victoria, to support the pioneering Sydney to Perth “Aerial Derby”. And, whadda ya’ know, the next day, October 1st, the first aircraft in the Sydney to Perth aerial derby arrived intact after a turbulent flight. How uncanny, in New Zealand, it was on September 30th 1963, when much of the Inquiry’s first day was about the radio navigation technology, communications with the DC-3 and the lack of matching radio navigation link-up at the Tauranga Airport. And, while this issue of corresponding equipments spilled over in the beginning of the second day, the Inquiry’s second day was mostly taken up with local witness accounts of the last two minutes of the doomed DC-3’s flight in cloudy, rainy, turbulent weather conditions.

So, what are the odds that the day the Public Inquiry opened, on September 30 1963, was also the day the U.S. Navy completed its first of the regular Antarctica Flights to McMurdo Sound with faster, long-range aircraft landing on the newly completed 9000-foot long ski-landing airfield? The Press reported two U.S. Navy Hercules touched down on the new ice runway in overcast weather with a temperature of -22°Celcius.

Ergo, a transportation development theme was codified into the commencement date.

The United States military began its regular seasonal flights from Christchurch International Airport to Antarctica’s McMurdo Sound, following early exploratory and initial flights in the 1955-56 Operation Deep Freeze season, involving U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard and the Royal NZ Air Force at Harewood Airport, Christchurch. Ergo, in Deep Freeze 63, the two ski-equipped, four-engine turboprop LC-130F’s, military transporters of the U.S. Navy’s Antarctic Development Squadron Six (VXE-6), landed at 5.47am and 6.37am on September 30 1963, on the new 9,000-foot ice runway at McMurdo, with the best navigational gear to mitigate crashes.

While N.Z.’s internal post-war civilian infrastructure development was patchy, the armed forces were mobilized for virtue-signalling imperial projects in Antarctica.

To build Scott Base and assist the U.S. Navy with establishing McMurdo Station and the ongoing needs for Operation Deep Freeze, New Zealand’s three branches of defence — Navy, Air Force and Army — provided logistics, supplies and navigational support in the mid-1950s and onward through the time of the Kaimai Crash Inquiry.

The RNZAF’s aerodromes (like Wigram and Taieri) were used as staging grounds for the first long-distance flights to Antarctica in December 1955. The RNZAF Antarctic flights directly supported Scott Base and the Trans-Antarctic Expedition from 1956 to 1958, and actively aiding ground teams in establishing supply depots and safe routes through to the end of 1963. The RNZAF provided air logistics, and reconnaissance flights, mapping the terrain to find overland routes, and provided on-call Search and Rescue for the early U.S. Navy flights. The RNZAF flew Douglas DC-3 Dakotas, the Auster, De Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter, and Handley Page Hastings transports.

The Royal New Zealand Navy supplied the primary sealift and maritime logistics for base construction, transporting building materials, personnel, and exploration vehicles. The ice-strengthened vessel HMNZS Endeavour, departed Wellington on its first voyage in December 1956, delivering the Ross Sea Party to Pram Point where they helped build Scott Base, in time for the official opening on January 20 1957. The Endeavour continued running annual supply missions to the ice into the 1960s.

The New Zealand Army provided the heavy lifting, engineering, and plant operation required to physically build Scott Base from the ground up. Deployed engineering teams and heavy plant operators who utilized tracked vehicles such as Sno-Cats, Ferguson tractors, and building materials to assemble the base’s foundational huts. An army construction team, alongside naval and civilian overseers, were on the ground during the austral summer of 1956–1957 to build the station ahead of its opening on January 20, 1957. Through 1963, Army personnel provided continuous infrastructure and logistical support for Operation Antarctica.

On the surface this correspondence appears unrelated, or it may seem like a benignly subtle reminder — via the news — about the need for careful flight planning, better weather forecasting and a thorough consideration of the terrain by civil aviators.

However, the date correspondences take on an uncanny load with the publication of the crash report, released by Mr McAlpine, ten weeks after the Inquiry closed.

The report of the Public Inquiry was published on November 28 1963, which thematically riffed off the historical day, November 28 1911, that Captain Robert F. Scott and his South Pole team first sighted the Trans-Antarctic Mountains last thing at night. Ergo, the DC-3 airmen didn’t see the ranges looming straight in front of them.

Captain Scott’s fateful expedition was intended to locate the South Pole, but the five members of South Pole team died in the harsh chilly Antarctic conditions.

In his book, Erebus and the Dragonfly, Robin Fautley wrote there appeared to be parallels between the Kaimai Crash and the Erebus Crash, and he questioned whether there was a cover-up with Flight 441, as with Erebus, which is regarded as the stand-out in cover-ups by many New Zealanders. Fautley wrote of a cover-up philosophy endemic to some establishment figures of New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Like John King, Richard Waugh, and Simon Gault, who all took a ‘second look’ at the demise of Flight 441, Fautley failed to detect the theme of technological obsolescence and technical upgrades that had underpinned the Kaimai Crash — by design.

The Public Inquiry concluded its hearing on October 15 1963. This date carried a potency, since it was on October 15 1877 that the former Governor, George Grey became premiere of the colony. He led the fight against Julius Vogel’s proposal to abolish the system of provincial governments that he had helped establish under the 1852 Constitution, but this challenge was unsuccessful. Like other New Zealand leaders, especially Vogel, he saw New Zealand’s destiny as being head of a Pacific empire, but he opposed New Zealand’s federation with Australia at the Australian Federal Convention in Sydney in 1891. Where Grey lost his fight to retain the provincial governments, and opposed New Zealand being federated with Australia, NAC had relinquished the Pacific routes, such as to Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, the Cook Islands and the Norfolk Islands to Tasman Empire Airways Limited (the forerunner to Air N.Z.), while the resourcing of its domestic routes remained patchy, particularly the feeders to provinces — and while the state and councils shirked on navigational aids.

Potently, a milestone date occurred on October 15 1961 when a crowd of 70,000 gathered at Harewood Aerodrome, Christchurch, to view the U.S. Air Force’s C-133s, C-130BLs, and C-124s land with two Swiss-manufactured 37,000-pound snowmilling machines picked up from Chatearoux Air Station, France, as well as two automatic weather stations, and with spare parts, and equipment supplies — alongside PV2s.

So, the Kaimai DC-3 Crash of July 3 1963 riffed off the date, July 3 1866, when Governor George Grey bragged in Parliament that the major conflicts in the North Island had ended, while he also endorsed the Cook Strait Telegraph Cable as a critical project in national development. How uncanny that the Kaimai Crash Inquiry would conclude its public hearings on October 15 1963, since it was the same day when George Grey became the Premiere on October 15 1877 in an attempt to save his provincial system, with its in-built independence, parochial pettiness and conflicts.

And, while two key dates associated with the Kaimai Inquiry corresponded with milestones in Operation Deep Freeze: the start date, September 30 1963, occurred in parallel with the landing of two ski-equipped Lockheed C-130 Hercules transporters on the new 9,000-foot ice runway at McMurdo, on September 30 1963, and supported with the best navigational gear to mitigate costly crashes; and the end date, October 15 1963, corresponded with the milestone date, October 15 1961, when 70,000 muggles gathered at Harewood Aerodrome, Christchurch, to view the U.S. Air Force’s military transporters with two Swiss-made snowmilling machines to grate the ice and snow smooth and fill in the crevices, cavities and cracks. And, given that Captain Derek Leonard Enchmarch did not sight the Kaimai Range, what are the odds the report’s release date, November 28 1963, corresponded with the date, November 28 1911, when Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his South Pole team first sighted the Trans-Antarctic Mountain Range last thing at night, some four months before their tragic deep freeze?

As a metaphorical snow-milling machine, the Inquiry grated the ice and snow, and fill in the crevices, cavities, and cracks to deliver a report as smooth as the new 9,000-foot ice runway at McMurdo Sound, like it were a milestone in ‘Operation Kaimai Breeze’.

Where Captain Enchmarch died in a firey crash of the DC-3 on a ravine in the Kamai Range on a routine unlicensed flight ‘Round the Rocks’ of the North Island in a gale, Captain Scott died in a tent from the extreme cold, exhaustion and starvation on a return journey from the South Pole, in a blizzard just 11 miles from a One Ton Depot.

Ergo, the firey demise of the Hawke’s Bay Skyliner in a rainy gale was a staged inversion of the icey demise of the Scott Expedition in a chilly blizzard, that muggles wouldn’t decode, since they naïvely believed that New Zealand was immune from endemic evil.

The thematic date-riffs associated with the Court of Inquiry prove that the probe was theater to smooth the plot’s rough surfaces, by shoving the metaphorical icy snow into the factual crevices, cavities, and cracks to establish a narrative to hide the conspiracy.

Reading the refractions through a cracked looking glass, these inversions belied a Wonderland of militarist wizardry and witchcraft gleefully mocking muggles.

On May 2 1964, the 1st Ranger Squadron of New Zealand Special Air Service, blew debris with 23 kilograms of gelignite to fall onto the wreckage partly because people were getting upset at catching glimpses of the smashed metal. And, also to prevent further dangerous or unauthorized rubber-necking and scavengers from trying to reach the treacherous site, if the official reasons are to be believed. For a defence force, NZ’s Army appears to lack the intelligence to detect a domestic enemy network.

Indeed, in this tale of a state-sponsored massacre, two curious correspondences arise.

On the very same day, May 2 1964, the last electric tram trip happened in N.Z.’s capital city, Wellington. As a structural shift, the rise of public buses and private cars brought about the obsolescence of New Zealand’s last electric tramway system in 1964.

In this tragic tale of tyrants inflicting terror with impunity, the cryptologists signified the burial of the wreckage of an aircraft considered obsolete, by selecting the date to thematically correspond with the burial of a Hauraki Plains soldier, on May 2 1929.

A veteran of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, Jeffrey (Dick) Buckthought, served in World War I and died aged 46. Buckthought’s burial record is historically notable for being one of the very first recorded interments at Totara Memorial Park Cemetery, some three years before the official public opening of the cemetery. As such, his name stands out in local genealogy and council records of a perished foundational pioneer, who was interred in the modern Hauraki settlement’s primary burial ground. Especially, since his family had deep roots across both the Taranaki and Hauraki/Thames-Coromandel regions, with several Buckthoughts having served in the military, and the family was woven into the local fabric of the Thames area.

How uncanny, since Flight 441 was said to have been blown off course, once the DC-3 encountered the gale at the Firth of Thames, on a route for which NAC lacked a license for some six years, headed to towards a range classed as non-mountainous.

Ergo, the S.A.S. mounted an ‘expeditionary force’ to bury the wreckage of a Douglas Dakota DC-3 model aircraft that was known as a military transporter during WWII, before the site in the Kaimais was officially classified as sacred consecrated ground.

Noteworthy, July 1 1963 Rear Admiral Peter Phipps was appointed chief of the staff committee at the Department of Defence, a post that was soon renamed Chief of Defence. This transition chess move metaphorically riffed off preparations of the New Zealand Division, who were undergoing training in trench warfare at the time of the infamous opening of the Somme offensive on July 1 1916, which became British Empire’s single worst day in battle, with 57,000 casualties, wounded, dying or dead.

A change-over of leadership can be an excellent cover for removing planning records.

Phipps was promoted to the rank of vice admiral, and in this capacity he helped set up the new framework of top-level defence administration. To be clear, Snoopman isn’t saying that Phipps was necessaarily privy to the clandestine warfare occurring around him. The Cryptocratic Dark State can exploit earnest talent to achieve their ends; even those educated at Christchurch Boys’ High, and even if they believed they were the son of Robert Julian Scott, who was a Canterbury College engineering professor who had designed locomotives and wagons at the Addington Workshops, and was the eldest son of Royal Navy Rear-Admiral R. A. G. Scott, and cousin of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, the Antarctic Explorer, who perished on the Antarctic Continent.

Numerous transport-themed dates are also associated with the dates of the aircrew, as mentioned in the “Report of the Public Inquiry into the Circumstances of a Civil Aircraft Accident involving National Airways Corporation DC-3 ZK-AYZ, in the Kaimai Range on 3 July 1963 (No. 25/3/1338)”, published 28 November 1963. To decode these dates for their symbolic value, it’s also critical to bear in mind the potent metaphorical elements in the design of a catastrophic event intended to send shock-waves through the aviation industry, its regulatory office and the élites. The metaphor-laden elements included the key players, vehicles, mechanisms, places and histories.

For instance, it’s crucial to recall that the Minister of Transport, John McAlpine, held the large provincial Selwyn electorate seat, neighbouring Christchurch, which was serviced by Lyttleton Port, that was linked by rail and the Summit Road. McAlpine’s ministerial duties meant he would have frequently commuted by air to Wellington.

The newly refitted DC-3 Dakota, registered as ZK-AYZ, was named Hastings, and was photographed over Banks Peninsula for NAC’s ‘Skyliner’ promotional material.

The last major overhaul of ZK-AYZ was completed on March 29 1963, and thematically riffed off the date March 29 1959, when the largest crowd in New Zealand was said to have assembled at Ohakea Air Base to view an air show carried out by the Royal New Zealand Air Force (with between 100,000 and 120,000 people present).

Pilot Len Enchmarch last routine DC-3 training check was carried out on 26 February 1963, which riffed thematically off the date that the Summit Road, Christchurch was opened on February 26 1938. Enchmarch’s completed a routine 180-day route check on March 19th 1963, a date that found metaphorical correspondence with the arrival at Wellington, of the first full-powered steamship called the British King, sailing regularly direct between the United Kingdom and New Zealand on March 19 1883.

How ironic that the DC-3 pilot would lose his bearings over the Kaimai Range, given that Enchmarch is a rare English surname primarily associated with the Tiverton region of Devon in southwestern England. According to Ancestry.Com, a specific, ancient etymological definition remains untraced. However, “the name’s root construction reflects English topographic origins, historically evolving in rural communities alongside similarly constructed names like Hindmarsh”. Ergo, Captain Enchmarch was cast to star as the pilot of a converted Air Force DC-3 to collide with a range classified as “non-mountainous” on the Air Department’s topographical maps.

First Officer Peter Kissel, who’d once been national junior 440 yards champion and a RNZAF pilot during WWII, had completed a 180-day route check on April 17 1963.

This date corresponded with the first championship cycle meeting held at Hagley Park, Christchurch, on April 17 1880, as well as the departure date of the HMS Galatea sailing from Wellington for Nelson, on April 17 1869, anchoring off D’Urville Island overnight, during the Royal Tour of the Duke of Edinburgh, which was in essence a ‘Victory Lap’, following the end of the major conflicts with the ‘hostile Natives’. Given that the men, who carried out the operational level tasks of these early ‘staged disasters’ were in effect the ‘soldiers’ in an declared civil war, and the DC-3 crashed while flying on a ‘Round the Rocks’ inter-city flight in ‘brass monkey weather’, what are the odds that the first inter-city brass band contest took place on April 17 1880?

From the 1840s, the bands of the imperial regiments based in the colony provided music for state and civic occasions, vice-regal balls and public concerts. The Militia and Volunteer armed provincial groups also formed brass bands, and among them the Taranaki Volunteer Rifles, formed in 1859, is believed to have formed the first brass band. Today, the Royal New Zealand Air Force Band, New Zealand Army Band and Royal New Zealand Navy Band continue this tradition of military brass bands.

On July 2 1963, Kissel completed a routine DC-3 training check. This date corresponded with the opening of the electrified rail line between Wellington and the northern suburb of Johnsonville, July 2 1938, with electric units replaced over time. And on July 2nd 1948 the cessation of the Wellington to Eastbourne ferry service occurred. Ergo, the pilot who flew the swift Vought F4U Corsair fighter bomber in and around Bougainville, with No. 30 Squadron RNZAF in the ‘Pacific Theater’ of the second staged world war, had been a fast junior athlete and who fought for the Empire, was retired, July 3, in mountainous terrain after his aviation career peaked in combat, and would be replaced over time with newer, younger, more efficient units.

The name Kissel is a Slavic word meaning ‘sour’, after a similar old Slavic dish — a leavened flour porridge (or weak sourdough) which was made from grain, most commonly oats. His wife, Susan Bory told Simon Gault in the Kaimai episode of the Descent into Disaster series, that toward the end of 1962, Co-Pilot Kissel was thinking of a career change after he had missed out on qualifying as a captain a couple of times.

Ergo, Sgt Kissel was cast for the role as a ‘sour oats’ co-pilot of a converted air-ship of war, and since he didn’t take the hint to get on his bike, he’d have to make it through the topographical version of the mariner’s French Pass — before a change of career.

Given the forgoing transport-themed date correspondences associated with the pilots of the Kaimai Crash, what are the odds that the air hostess, Jill Wilson, had transferred to the Hostess Section on April 4 1963? After all, it was on April 4 1956 that the road from Kingston to Queenstown was completed. Recall that the Minister of Ransport, John McAlpine, had spearheaded the Transport Act 1962, which facilitated the upgrade of the railway network from steam-powered train engines to diesel locomotives, and also the upgrading of the state highway network for trucking?

The name Wilson is of Old Germanic origin composed of the elements wil (meaning “will” or “desire”) and helm (meaning “helmet” or “protection”). Ergo, to achieve the will of the crytpocracy, the cryptologists designed a ‘civilian air accident’, wherein a desirable hostess trained in safety procedures would provide zero protection. And, the captain at the helm of the airship, had no sense of the topography amidst atrocious weather. And, nor did his sour oats co-pilot, who’d had lost his desire to continue flying since he’d sowed his oats, after landing a hotty, who’d miss him dearly. All three crew died with the 20 passengers on a converted World II-era transporter roughly five months after a converted World-II Mack Truck-cum-bus ran off the road in the Brynderwyn Range. The operational level of both staged disasters were carried out by men of the figurative brass bands and conducted by the top brass, to happen like clockwork with a ‘coordinated heat’ leading up to the first inter-city contest on July 3.

The misleading forecast of the upper winds between Whenuapai Air Base and Tauranga Air Field was among the acceptable contributing causes to the air crash. The down-draft on the lee-side of the Kaimais was in the order of 2000 feet per minute. Local hand-gliders informed the Inquiry about the hazards of the down-drafts.

As if like a prequel, or test run, before the bigger bolder plot of Erebus, where the many of the civilian pilots at Air New Zealand were not familiar with the effects of white-out in icy regions, not all of NAC’s pilots were familiar with mountain air waves.

The Court of Public Inquiry expended some real estate in the report explaining mountain waves due to the general lack of knowledge in aviation circles about the dynamic effects of air flow over high ground. There was no warning about turbulence in the Kaimai area despite the storm raging during the night of July 2, and the loss of power supplies in the early hours of July 3 in the Gordon district, due to poles being blown down. The storm lasted through July 4 and impaired a search until July 5.

On July 4th, two search planes were deployed, as well as a helicopter. Despite these aircraft making brief sightings, they unwittingly performed a metaphorical inversion function, since it was on July 4 1938, that the first multiple-unit rail service opened between Wellington and Johnsonville. On July 5, the full ‘search’ party was air-lifted into the remote crash site, for the gruesome body recovery tasks, and the crash scene investigation followed, whose job it was to figure out the specifics of the last moments of the flight, including the degree of control the pilots had before impact.

How uncanny that this date riffed off the controversy over whether or not H.J. Pither was the first to fly an aircraft in a controlled flight on July 5 1910 at Riverton. The officially accepted first flight was accorded to Vivian Walsh, dated February 5 1911.

The morning newspapers reported on Saturday July 13th 1963 that the Hamilton coroner had identifed 13 of the 23 crash victims, from the press wires of July 12. Given that the number 13 is used by the Old Boys’ Networks to signal solidarity, caution and and had long been a symbolic number to procure marriage arrangements, it is uncanny that the number of victims tallied to 13 in time for the Saturday papers on July 13. After all, Vivian Walsh obtained New Zealand’s first pilot’s certificate on July 13 1916. Following the outbreak of World War I, Walsh and his brother, Leo, founded the New Zealand Flying School at Ōrākei on Auckland’s Waitematā Harbour, so that New Zealand pilots could join Britain’s Royal Flying Corps (RFC). Their initiative eventually led to the formation of New Zealand’s Royal Air Force, and many of their fleet of DC-3’s were sold to the New Zealand National Airways Corporation. Ergo, New Zealand’s cryptologists had signalled a brutal intervention in political pilotage.

With this inversion, more psychopathic humour was designed into the DC-3 crash.

The same July 13th edition of The Press contained a plug for Air Force helicopters.

Two helicopters were used in this air-lift, and was the first time that choppers were utilized for an aircrash in N.Z. In a statement dated July 12 1963, Air Commodore Thomas Francis Gill noted the utility of the two helicopters used in the recovery of bodies and salvage of some pieces of the Skyliner. The Air Commodore, who was a member for supply on the N.Z. Air Board, said helicopters would enhance support of naval and army units and assist in civil emergencies. It was on July 12 1951 that the U.S., Australia, and New Zealand initialled a draft of the ANZUS military Treaty. (Gill later became Minister of Defence and Police, and N.Z. Ambassador to the U.S.)

On 9 May 1966, a jury case was set down for the claims against NAC in the Auckland Supreme Court (High Court), because it was found previously by Justice Michael Hardie Boys on July 7 1965, that the state-owned airline did not have an air service license to operate the Auckland to Tauranga route, as required by the Air Service Licensing Regulations 1952. The license expired on May 31 1957. This meant NAC did not have protection under the regulation for claims over £5000, at a time when there was no accident compensation fund. The Crown-owned airline was not only facing an embarassing case. But also, according to this narrative, the bereaved families were supposed to believe that due to administrative bungles, the registration had lapsed for six years because the correct forms had either not been filled, or submitted to the adminsitrative secretary. Evidently no one noticed at Air Services Licensing Authority. This state of affairs was piled upon the fact that the Civil Aviation Administration had not required the installation of the Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) for the DC-3s at Tauranga Airport, and had not considered the Kaimai Ranges as mountainous terrain for the purposes of aviation safety.

Given that this case for damages would draw publicity to the state-owned domestic airliner that it was unlicensed to operate the flight route since May 31 1957, what are the odds that the case was set down for May 9 1966? This date thematically riffed off the time when Auckland Electric Tramways Company was registered on 9 May 1899.

How uncanny then that NAC’s license to operate the flight route from Auckland to Tauranga expired on May 31 1957. After all, the Auckland Harbour Bridge’s date of operations for carrying traffic started on May 31st 1959, including bus services from the North Shore to the city. Ergo, thematic salt was sprinkled on governance wounds.

This case would have been an embarrassment for the Minister of the Air Department, John McAlpine, most especially since one of his first acts as the Minister in Charge of Civil Aviation, was to recommend the appointment of the Directors of New Zealand National Airways Corporation to the Governor-General. The Directors of the New Zealand National Airways Corporation: Sir Leonard Isitt, Chairman; Sir Andrew McKee, Deputy Chairman; Mr Geoffrey Newland Roberts; Mr Alan Fleming Gilkison; and Mr George Nicholls, effective from November 1st 1961, for a period of three years.

These roles meant the NAC Director’s terms would end on October 31st 1964.

In August 1964, 15 writs totalling £302,500 were lodged in the Supreme Court, Auckland (now the High Court), on behalf of 15 dependants of some of those killed in the Kaimai crash. Damages were claimed against the Attorney-General, sued in respect of the Air Department, which at the time of the crash included the Civil Aviation Administration and the Meteorological Service, and against NAC. The directors would be facing scrutiny at a time when newspapers were scathing about the time-lag between the Inquiry and the civil aviation sector’s discussions about reform.

To convey an idea of the brazen high-stakes of the cryptocracy’s chess moves,
the Chairman of New Zealand National Airways Corporation, Sir Leonard Isitt, had
added New Zealand’s signature to the Instrument of Surrender between the Allied powers and Japan, back when he was Air Vice-Marshal, on September 2 1945.

The first two of NAC’s revamped DC-3 Dakotas, rebranded as ‘Skyliners’, were renamed Napier and Hastings, after the two main cities of the Hawke’s Bay province.

Airport location discord between Napier and Hastings filled council meeting agendas since the 1950s. It was uneconomic to build two airports within 15 miles of each other.

On July 3 1963, NAC Flight 441 was the Hastings, ZK-AYZ, which was scheduled to fly on to Napier after landing at Tauranga Airport. Since the NAC directors at the time were appointed on November 1st 1961, what are the odds that the province of Hawke’s Bay was separated from Wellington by Order in Council on November 1st 1858?

In January 1963, construction of the sealed runway started at the Hawke’s Bay Airport on the site of the Beaconsfield Aerdrome, where the Huriri Lagoon in Westshore, was uplifted during the Napier Earthquake of 1931. Westshore is a northern coastal suburb of Napier City. Ergo, on July 3 1963, the ex-World War II RNZAF DC-3 Dakota transporter, and re-registered as ZK-AYZ, and then newly revamped and renamed by NAC as the Hastings, was misled to fly to its doom and never reach Napier Airport.

The callous calculus becomes obvious, with the opening on February 15 1964, of the Hawke’s Bay Airport, to be shared between Napier and Hastings. Established on the site of the former Beacons Aerodrome, the shared facility was the result of a 1961 government inquiry designed to resolve a long-standing rivalry between the two cities.

The date was provocative, since February 15 commences a 30-day period before the Ides of March, that soothsayer, Spurinna, warned Julius Caesar to beware of, and that ended on March 15th 44 BCE, with the Emperor’s slaying by Rome’s Senators.

The Establishment of Hastings and other provincial cities and towns, were cryptically told to slam their noisy gobs shut, since the Hastings had slammed into a ravine at full throttle in a ferocious storm on the historical date of Grey’s parliamentary speech, July 3 1866 — announcing that the major conflicts in the North Island were over with.

How uncanny that the Airport’s opening date, riffed off the first Main Trunk Line regular express train between Wellington and Auckland on February 15 1909? A two hour air show featured a de Havilland Vampire fighter jet and U.S. Air Force Hercules.

Indeed, a provincialist theme signalled the necessity for provision of technological upgrades on the provincial feeder air routes, not merely the main trunk ones, such as Auckland, New Plymouth, Wellington, Blenheim and Christchurch. NAC’s DC-3 service had commenced with a flight route form Christchurch to Wellington and onto Wanganui and Hamilton, and had been inaugurated by ZK-AYZ on May 23 1955. What better date for the cryptocracy to codify their penetration of the state-owned domestic air carrier, since it was on May 23 1938 that the Kororareka Association of Vigilantes was established. And, on May 23 1840, Governor Hobson sent off a dispatch with Willoughby Shortland, the Colonial Secretary and Police Magistrate, calling on the N.Z. Company settlers at Port Nicholson to disband their “illegal association”. It was Freemason Colonel Bro. William Wakefield, principal agent for the New Zealand Company, took formal possession of Port Nicholson in the name of that settlement enterprise in in September 1839. It was around Port Nicholson that the town of Wellington grew, and eventually became the capital of New Zealand in 1865.

Notably, Dunedin Airport was established at Momoa on the Taieri Plain on May 23 1962, thereby indicating it was also under the control of the cryptocracy.

How uncanny that telegraph communication opened between Christchurch, Dundein and Invercargill on May 23 1865, as any newsroom possessing a copy of Datus: A Chronology of New Zealand from the Time of the Moa, by George Finn — would know.

According to the 1966 edition of An Encyclopedia of New Zealand, the Civil Aviation Act of 1964 established a Department of Civil Aviation whose principal functions, were to promote and encourage the economic and orderly development of civil aviation, to initiate and carry out surveys into any aspect of civil aviation, to provide for the investigation of aircraft accidents, and to maintain a national meteorological service. How ironic, given that McAlpine opened the Civil Administration and Meteorological Services Aeronautical College at Christchurch Airport on April 5 1963. After all, it was on April 5 1871, that Freemason Dr Isaac Featherston departed Wellington to take up a post as the first Agent-General in London. In this role, he would raise capital for the national development scheme of Freemason Julius Vogel.

The money would be used to build the ‘public works’ or infrastructure essential for economic development: railways, roads, bridges, port facilities and telegraph lines, as well as to lure British migrants, and to accelerate Māori land purchases instead of leases. Although, Featherston raised £1 million loan for infrastruture including roading in 1869 on a trip to London, he had become accustomed to autocratic rule as a provincial superintendant, and this tendency caused friction in dealings with high-ranking British officials. He raised a further £1 million development loan in 1872.

Ergo, the symbol sorcery underpinning this psycho-drama was gleeful. It belied an aggressive cryptocratic dark state, whose capacity to move chess pieces as precursor signals of the looming mayhem, while also telegraphing a rupture from the past.

This precursor chess move of April 5 1963 — the day after air hostess, Jill Wilson, had transferred to the Hostess Section — telegraphed the looming carnage. The thematic codification of having the Minister in Charge of Civil Aviation open the Civil Administration and Meteorological Services Aeronautical College at Christchurch Airport, signalled that better administration, training, and procedures would be emphasized for reforms in civil aviation, meteorological services and regulations.

Moreover, it also telegraphed ‘the fix’ was on to stage an aviation ‘accident’, that would be leveraged for more ‘capital raises’ of infrastructure, planes and training.

Key Establishment insiders of the provincial cities and towns, and the major cities were being told to gain cooperation among their public and private institutions, and develop an enthusiastic military discipline, to focus on development objectives.

And across the entire operation, the metaphors danced to music themed to a sinister horror, designed to gleefully mock its victims, the bereaved and compromised officials.

➳ Kaimai Crash: A Cryptic Conspiracy in Plain Sight

To recap, the crash of a DC-3 in the Kaimai Range was blamed on inadequate provision of navigation beacons, a weather forecast that under-estimated localized wind strengths, poor classification of mountainous terrain and the civil aviation’s reliance on the estimated times of arrival in spite of inclement weather conditions.

These ‘causal factors’ hid the root cause of the Kaimai Crash Conspiracy. Kiwis, as gentile peasant monkeys, possess a cultured naïveté that is structural, since the ruling Establishment ensures the systems of public and private sector education, bureaucracies, media and other work-settings suppress knowledge about the workings of the hidden mechanisms of political power, wealth accumulation and social control.

Due to this structurally cultured naïveté, Kiwis can be tricked into plodding along like witless Smurfs to materially assist in guaranteeing failure with catastrophic results.

Where NAC’s pilots on the Fokker turbo-propeller planes flying the main trunk routes could rely on airports with the equivalent Distance Measuring Equipment being installed, the DC-3 pilots were habituated with the practice of relying on estimating arrival times, and getting their bearings visually from the landmarks below. Without radar navigation aids and a matching ground-based transmitter at Tauranga Airport, the DC-3 co-pilot was making calculations while flying through a ferocious storm.

And, that is without considering the possibility that a false beacon was introduced.

The issue of transmitter bleed between Whenuapai and Tauranga was evaded at the Inquiry, as Auckland Control Tower Officer George Richardson divulged years later.

The national domestic carrier, NAC, flew piston-engined propeller-driven Douglas DC-3s (from 1947). The transition to turboprop aircraft began in 1960 with the arrival of the Fokker F27 Friendship. While Air New Zealand introduced the Douglas DC-8 jets for international routes in 1965, the domestic jet era took off when NAC launched Boeing 737-200 jets for the main trunk routes in 1968, and the last DC-3 was withdrawn from service in 1974, said Waugh, the author of Kaimai Crash (2003).

The first three Boeing 737-200’s that NAC bought, were signed in a contract on July 19 1967. How uncanny that this contract signing date struck an aviation milestone-theme, since it was on July 19 1906, that pioneer aviator Richard W. Pearse filed a provisional specification for “An Improved Aerial or Flying Machine”, with the New Zealand Patent Office. He is considered a leading New Zealand pioneer aviator.

Ergo, the milestones in New Zealand’s transportation technologies, infrastructure and administration history, as well as associated naval, airforce and army histories, were used to signal similar developments in civil aviation, and also those dates associated with the Kaimai Crash Conspiracy. The date meta-data reveals a criminal syndicate.

These staged disasters are designed to hack reality and jolt the political center of gravity. The themed historical date riffs signal inflicted ruptures with the past, and the symbol sorcery packaged into staged shocks communicate the aims in metaphors.

Black humor is detectable in this symbol sorcery. This wretched victory lap ritual symbolized a ‘high price’ paid to further the economic development of New Zealand.

Ergo, a communications technological upgrade theme was signaled to those elites attuned to reading metaphors, amid a stealthy civil war to establish techno-feudalism.

The ‘Kaimai Range DC-3 Disaster’ became an activated talisman in a new dark secret zeitgeist of techno-sorcery, that exploits places, families, peoples, communities, and institutions for their names, history, or symbolism — with an evil, cruel brazen glee.

New Zealand’s Cryptocratic Dark State played its hand to capture officials, and make them work harder to resolve long-standing disputes, while protecting its power.

It was as if the cryptocracy was leaning into its psychopathic humour with the choice of Justice Michael Hardie Boys, as the judge to make the obvious finding that since National Airways Corporation had been flying the 441 route as an unlicensed operator, it was not protected from a sizeable claim in a class action lawsuit filed for the bereaved families. The calculus underpinning this ‘too stupid to be stupid’ bureaucratic error — which had carried on for six years — was like a one-two boxing punch combo. The first was that the families would be drawn into a case to focus on gaining damages, which would be worn by the airliner, rather than on criminal charges triggering a police investigation. This is where the selection of Judge Hardie Boys carried potent symbolism, since a jury trial would draw the newsmen.

Michael Hardie Boys’ father was Reginald, who had advised the Inquiry Board into the ‘Tangiwai Train Disaster’ at Wellington in 1954. In that staged tragedy, 151 people lost their lives in what was a cruel rite of passage ritual for the emergent cryptocracy.

While a court case focussed on financial compensation, and wouldn’t overly involve the police, who were hierarchically controlled anyway, the real risk of public hearings lay with the newspapers. All it would take would be for the newsmen to discuss the ‘too stupid to be stupid’ similarities between the Kaimai Plane Crash, and the Brynderwyn Bus Crash, and the Tangiwai Train Crash, and even the Ballantynes Fire.

And, all four resulted in an inquiry that had the stenchy air of a toff-nosed cover-up.

And, all it would’ve taken to unravel the Establishment’s reflex to protect its power as the over-entitled ruling class, was for one white shark-newsman, smelling blood, to report the patterns, and probe the cover-ups in each, over the 16 years between them.

And then, turn those serialized articles into a book, with each disaster cover-up dropping like a bombshell to knock the Edmonds’ Cook Book off its formica perch. And make it into a documentary, and broadcast it on television before the Wahine Disaster.

But, a pattern of giving up is coded into the Kiwi cultural ‘DNA’ at moments when major set-backs arrive, and the cusp of success is just over the metaphorical horizon.

➳ Forgotten Silver Seguey

This theme was explored by Peter Jackson in the mockumentary Forgotton Silver, selling the tale of a fictional pioneering New Zealand filmmaker, Colin McKenzie.

The hilarious mockumentary claimed the reason he had died in obscurity — despite all of his remarkable firsts, such as making the first sound feature movie with dialogue in 1908, 19 years before the first official sound film, was because he didn’t finish an epic film, Salome, after numerous set-backs during production, dragging on into the 1930s.

McKenzie had resumed filming at a remote location on February 22nd 1919, after his brother died while serving with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force at Gallipoli in 1915. The scale of Salome, a biblical tale set in the City of Jerusalem — recreated out of local stone — had became grander as the ‘Roaring 1920s’ soared with optimism. The lost ‘Jerusalem’ in overgrown bush, was found to have been a marvel of engineering.

What are the odds that a marvel of New Zealand engineering, opened for business on the historical date, February 22nd 1902, when the Kelburn Cable Car carried paying passengers for the first time? After all, the Kelburn Cable Car achieved its purpose to open the hills of Kelburn above Wellington’s city center for housing. Wellingtonians flocked in their thousands to ride the new cable car running between Lambton Quay and Kelburn. With this nod to the Kelburn Cable Car, Forgotten Silver was playing on the desire to mythologize New Zealand pioneers, and in doing so, the filmmakers poked fun at the structural elements of the maverick we-did-it-first national identity.

Naïve Kiwis — who didn’t see the funny side of being fooled into believing the incredible tale of a genious pioneering filmmaker from New Zealand — were livid. They couldn’t see the clues, which started with Jackson metaphorically ‘leading the audience down the garden path’ to a delapidated shed of an eldery neighbour, where an old pirate’s style treasure chest had sat for decades, containing rusty film cans.

The mockumentary’s outlandishness builds from there, and features interviews with New Zealand actor Sam Neil soon after he had starred in Jurassic Park, Hollywood historian Leonard Maltin, and local film archivist Johnny Morris playing himself. They all described the historical significance of discovering the treasure trove of old film reels. Naturally, the spoof poked fun at the eternal argument that Richard Pearce beat the Wright Brothers to fly the first mechanical plane. With ‘restored’ McKenzie footage, capturing the embellished scene of Pearce’s so-called first flight and using fake digital enhancement — five years before CSI aired — to enlarge the date on a newspaper to ‘settle’ the issue of the day, month, and year of this ‘aviation milestone’.

The forged date, March 31 1903, meant the filmmakers pushed their faked account of the feat out to precisely one year prior to the earliest claimed date: March 31 1904.

Jackson hijacked an audience at the Embassy Theater on opening night of the NZ Film Festival to fake a ‘gala screening’ scene to sell the idea that the film and television industry gathered to watch the premiere of McKenzie’s epic, Salome, as
the follow-up documentary, Behind the Bull: Forgotten Silver, shows. The date was September 3 1995, and appeared to riff off some milestones in public broadcasting. On September 3 1977, The Dominion published an influential piece detailing $1 million in tax-payer funding for an epic six-part historical drama, The Governor, while it was broadcasting. The series became a highly debated milestone public service broadcasting and of Māori historical depiction on screen. And, on September 3 1939, New Zealanders heard a statement from Acting Prime Minister, Peter Fraser, via a radio broadcast at 9.30 p.m., that was in effect a declaration of war against Germany.

In any case, on September 3 1995, the archival documentary series, Waka Huia, broadcast a special reflective episode focusing heavily on the history and cultural impact of the pioneering Māori news series, Te Karere, on Television New Zealand.

Jackson — who produced this movie with his accomplice in cultural ‘thoughtcrime’, Costa Botes — would have to make the epic Lord of the Rings, before he would be forgiven by naïve Kiwis. And so, the apprentice photo-engraver who used his earnings from the printing press at the Evening Post, to self-fund his debut feature film Bad Taste, made over four years on weekends, teamed up with a documentarian, Mr Botes, to search New Zealand’s past to find its tenacious resolve, in a mockumentary, depicting a film pioneer who resorted to filming slap-stick pranks on the public, and finding investors overseas to back his vision. Ergo, Jackson and Botes gleefully mocked N.Z.’s cultural wiring, to say ‘Kiwis don’t readily back trail-blazing Kiwis’.

Forgotten Silver had aired on the Sunday Theater slot, usually preserved for TV dramas, on October 29th 1995. Fitting, since the New York Stock Market of October 29 1929 featured as a trigger for another financial set-back for McKenzie’s epic, Salome, leading to an escalation in solutions that could only get complicated. Given the hoax played with screening a tax-payer funded mockumentary on the state-owned Television New Zealand, what are the odds that this date corresponded with the production of the first commercial newsprint at Kawerau in the Bay of Plenty on October 29 1955? After all, the angry phone logs at TVNZ became news, once tricked naïve Kiwis learned the ‘documentary’ was a hoax. In the end, the joke of Forgotten Silver was also played on the those in the New Zealand film and television industry, who were privy to the production being a spoof, since the air-date signalled that the news is layered with propaganda that fools newsrooms much of the time. Where the Austin Chronicle described Jackson as “a gleefully, deliciously deranged filmmaker,” N.Z.’s crisis engineers were metaphorically, and literally, having the last laugh.

Where the date riffs by the mockumentarians were nods to the past in a gleefully playful hoax, the cryptocracy that rules New Zealand from the shadows were winking.

They had, after all, six months prior pulled off the Cave Creek Tragedy on April 28.

This date just happened to correspond with the dates that Elsdon Best was said to have left Wellington for Galatea for his long study of the Tuhoe tribe, on April 28 in 1895, and is said to have completed making his field notes for Tuhoe on April 28 1907.

Ergo, Cave Creek was a ritualized sacrifice of an outdoors adventure class, and was inflicted to consolidate the capture of the Department of Conservation, in preparation for the Pike River Mine Disaster. Both staged disasters were in the Paparoa Range.

The Pike River Mine Disaster of November 19 2010 was inflicted to discredit under-ground mining, particularly coal, and to advance the re-interegation of New Zealand into the Western Alliance, and to deepen its economic integration into the American Empire. New Zealand was earmarked to become an open-cast mining facility.

In the days prior to and after the Pike River mine explosion of November 19th 2010, Bank of America bought stock in Bathurst Resources, an Australian-based mining firm that later became the biggest open-cast coal mining operator in New Zealand.

The huge sums poured into the mining project were not to return a profit. But, to keep the black operation going, with a devastating explosion occurring on the 42nd anniversary of an aircraft carrier, USS America, arriving at Wellington Harbour on November 19 1968, with 42 days left in the year, during Lyndon Johnson’s presidency.

Johnson had visited New Zealand in 1942 as Lieutenant Commander in the US Naval Reserve, as a personal observer for President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the Pacific.

And so, while the filmmaker — who had saved his pennies from working the printing press at the Evening Post, and while he was doing his naughty-best making a mockumentary — the cryptocracy was inflicting a sinister shock to jolt the political center of gravity within the Conservation Department, and the Bolger Regime.

The gleeful mocking in-built into these staged disasters — as revealed by the meta-data of thematic date riffs — turns New Zealand’s do-it-yourself maverick ‘we did it first’ national identity on its head, with horrific episodic news-making shock events.

➳ The Kaimai Crash Conspiracy Connection

Since the Cryptocracy get their kicks blurring the ‘Make Believe World’ with the ‘Make Real World’, it’s clear the ridiculous situation of NAC’s 441 flight route being unlicensed for six years, was integral to the Kaimai Crash Conspiracy. The setting up of officials would have sent shock waves through the ‘Old Boys’ Network’. After all, it further embroiled the vice admiral, who’d co-signed Japan’s surrender document.

Thus, the symbol sorcery in the selection of Judge Hardie Boys carried potency since it was packaged with a threat, to compel the civil aviation industry as well as state and council officials to work together to forge a coherent set of reforms instead of arguing.

The implicit threat was in the name, since it riffed off the Hardy Boys’ novel franchise.

In the Hardy Boys Universe, the boys live in an atmosphere of mystery and intrigue, while the police were stupid, and can’t see a plot thickening before them. The boys are brothers, Frank and Joe Hardy, who aspire to be like their father, Fenton Hardy, a legendary private investigtor, who solves crimes that the Bayport Police are incapable of working out, in the fictional city of Bayport, Barmet Bay. Despite the dangers of facing off with crime syndicates, the Hardy boys leaned into being compulsive mystery sleuths, which amusingly drives their Aunt Gertrude nuts with worry.

As Arthur Prager (1971) wrote in Rascals at Large about Bayport’s criminal underbelly:

“Never were so many assorted felonies committed in a simple American small town. Murder, drug peddling, race-horse kidnapping, diamond smuggling, bank robbing, kidnapping, dynamiting, burglaries, medical malpractice, big-time auto theft, even (in the 1940s) the hijacking of strategic materials and espionage, all were conducted with Bayport as a nucleus.” — Arthur Prager (1971) Rascals at Large, or, The Clue in the Old Nostalgia

Likewise, when the sinister plots in this sleepy backwater called New Zealand is laid bare, and you squint to picture a timeline spanning almost eight decades, is it not so far-fetched to wonder, had the Old Boys’ Network recruited their sons as prospects, to join the syndicate, and have gleeful fun being the evil inversion of the Hardy Boys?

The domestic criminal syndicate in New Zealand used their ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ cards and secured an out of court settlement with bereaved families of 15 dependents.

The newsmen failed to hone in on four crises that were screaming of cover-ups, even if the nature of their staging was not obvious — without drilling into the metaphors laden with historical riffs. To be fair, to see such patterns would take more events.

For instance, while the first of the post-war staged disasters was the Ballantynes Fire on November 18 1947 — you wouldn’t think to go looking to see what occurred on the same day, to find that the State Fire Insurance Act was passed on November 18 1903.

However, when the crash of an Air New Zealand A320 Airbus crashed on the 29th anniversary of the ‘Mount Erebus Disaster’, and you know there was a cover-up of that ‘air accident’, it makes you wonder why the government and Air NZ was so sensitive about the matter of an apology. And, also about avoiding explaining what went down.

And so, the Snoopman started consulting the Snoopman newsroom’s copy of It Happened Today in New Zealand and the Department of Affairs NZ History page.

Since many of New Zealand’s ruling families established themselves in the Colonial Era, any newsroom possessing a copy of A.W. Reed’s Two Hundred Years of New Zealand 1769-1969, could have perused its pages to find if there was any historical referencing that would shed light on why an A320 Airbus crashed. Particularly, since the French corvette, L’Aube, sailed into the Bay of Islands after dark on July 10 1840 on a mission to claim sovereignty over the South Island, and precisely 145 years later, agents of France’s equivalent of the CIA set two bombs, after dark against the hull and propeller shaft of the Rainbow Warrior in Auckland Harbour, with only a three-hour delay to ensure detonation before midnight to trample on the Lange Government’s sovereign chess moves to make the South Pacific a nuclear free zone. Especially, since the HMNZS Manawanui ran aground on Sinalei Reef in Samoa on the 13th anniversary of the MV Rena running aground on a reef called Astrolabe, which takes its name from a French frigate named after a navigational device that was made obsolete by the sextant, which was used by Captain James Cook on his first voyage of ‘discovery’.

You would thunk that N.Z.’s newspapers might have a section titled ‘Too Stupid to be Stupid’, that resulted from coding data for patterns across major issues, scandals, and crises, tracking their narrative arcs, the key players, institutions and conflicts of interest of vested interests, to discern the hidden objectives from the ‘coincidences’.

But then, newsroom reporters, producers, and editors would think that such an exercise would be a bit like Jerry Fletcher, the conspiracy theorist taxi driver played by Mel Gibson in the movie Conspiracy Theory, trawling newspapers seeking connections between events that appear unrelated. Yet, Fletcher is the victim of CIA-type MK-ULTRA torture inflicted to extract sensitive information. Locked away in Fletcher’s fried mind is the key to a murder of a judge, who was the father of Alice Sutton, a lawyer at Gotham’s District Attorneys’ Office, who Fletcher frequently visits at City Hall, to blurt out his conspiracy theories and eventually to ask her out, which doesn’t land overly well. And, that mystery leads to a far-reaching conspiratorial plot about why Fletcher is hunted. Since it’s the Hollywood Universe, the ending leads the viewer to think there’s a good super-secret agency over-seeing the alphabet agencies.

Ergo, as a consequence of New Zealand’s newsrooms having a preference to believe in ‘coincidence theories’ fed to them by the archipelago’s cryptocratic dark state, they have missed the cryptic matrix code embedded in the newsmaking disasters that they have been reporting on, for the best part of eight decades. Their cultivated snobbery about diving down stinky filthy dark rabbit holes, has meant they have missed out on scooping the journalistic equivalent of a paradigmatic scientific discovery. Snoopman has found that where Air N.Z. Captain Jim Collins and his air crewmen never saw Mount Erebus looming straight in front of them on November 28 1979, Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his team first sighted the Trans-Antarctic Mountains one year into their polar journey, on November 28 1911. Like Captain Scott, Captain Collins died in the Antarctic ice, while the airmen aboard the Air NZ A320 Airbus died in the Mediterranean, precisely one year prior to the 30th anniversary of the Erebus Crash.

The thematic historical date riffs reveal the over-arching objectives of a meta-conflict that underpinned why the Air NZ jets crashed 29 years apart: forge a super-economy.

The Fix: Contrived Ignorance, Conflicts of Interest, and Crony Old Boys

The structural power of a criminal syndicate relies on the compromised machinary of public officials to save its members from raids, judges who accept reduced charges, police super-intendants who sabotage investigations, and journalists who censor critical context. While violence gains territory for a syndicate, ‘the fix’ allows to the criminal network to keep it, make economic gains, consolidate power, and plan bolder moves. The capacity to lean on ‘the fix’ grants the underworld degrees of acceptance within the Establishment to pull off audacious power crimes, especially when those with eyes attuned its workings see the hidden wiring turning up in periodic crises.

‘The fix’ is the right relationships, denoted by the verb connected, rather than unsubtle titles like Mafia or Cosa Nostra, as George Wolf described the term in an American context when he wrote, Frank Costello: Prime Minister of the Underworld, to recount his three decade entwinement as a lawyer with ‘The Godfather’. Likewise, when the national security state apparatus, or central government officials, wittingly participate in a catalytic staged crisis, the rupture is permanent with the visible public state. It is the moment when matters ‘stop making sense’, and key players ‘cross the Rubicon’.

The expression ‘crossing the Rubicon’ has its origins when General Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River in 49 B.C. with his army; an act that broke the law and was a provocation for war with the leader of the Rome, Pompey. The expression is commonly used to mean that the ‘point of no return’ has been passed.

Members of criminal syndicates perform hostage exchange rituals, to signal chess moves, in accordance with game theory, as Snoopman snoop-splained in the introduction to this series, “Darkest Days by Dates Down Under”. A failure to post oneself as a hostage to communicate cooperation of a player representing a key role, a critical institution, or an important vested interest when a plot is in play — is taken as a defection, to be met with swift and stiff punishments, which maintains discipline.

Game theory was developed during the Cold War to stabilize the power structures of the Russian Empire and the American Empire. In their paper, “Resolving social conflicts through hostage posting: theoretical and empirical considerations”, Gideon Keren and Werner Raub noted that “tacit communications of threats and promises are two major message strategies used to influence the behaviours of others”. Being seen to advance the game with parallel, or mirrored moves, is a mechanism to construct stability and is predicated on a provisional promise to cooperate, if other players post hostages too. Such rituals create data for criminal investigations into crimes of power.

In this way, criminal coalitions embed events with encoded metadata to communicate unity that they are advancing a syndicate game to signal promises and threats, to telegraph caution and control in the inevitable scandals, while exploiting crises.

A syndicate’s signalling can many forms, such as posting directors on multiple corporate boards, cross-ownership of stocks, bonds and securities, tabling directives, and holding press conferences with symbol-laden numerical or metaphorical drops.

In the Wonderland down under, the meta-data of the date of July 3 1963, telegraphed a threat intended to send shockwaves among those in the Establishment, who weren’t expecting another staged disaster so soon after the Brynderwyn Bus Crash.

The staging of a DC-3 crash on the same historical date as the parliamentary speech of Governor Bro. George Grey, on July 3rd 1966, when he endorsed the Cook Strait Telegraph Cable project, was sizzling with symbol sorcery. In effect, it communicated that since the recent land-lady inspection visit had once again proven that the establishments of the provincial towns and cities and the big smokes, could cooperate — it was time to set aside the bickering and focus on national development.

This modus operandi lays a pattern of metaphors into the precursor events to show key players are advancing the game, or as ‘get-set’ and ‘show-time’ signals, as well as the aftermath events, such as coroners’ inquests, inquiry court cases, mass funerals, reforms, award ceremonies, and the official memorials occurring on potentized dates.

To those elites attuned to reading the runes, the catalytic crash of a newly revamped World War-II DC-3, and photographed for the brochures as the renamed Hastings, that never made it to Napier City on a ‘Round the Rocks’ flight route that the government-owned airline had flown unlicensed for over six years — while the crew flew blind — the codified obsolescence baked into the worst civilian air accident in New Zealand’s history, at the time, was bleedingly, blindingly obvious. And, while

the DC-3 pilots ‘lost their bearings’ in a gale and headed for ranges categorised as non-mountainous terrain on its way to an airport that lacked the equipment to track the plane’s distance from the destination. After all, you’d have thought that a Crown-owned domestic carrier whose sitting chairman was Sir Leonard Isitt, the Air Vice-Marshal, who co-signed Japan’s surrender document precisely 72 months after Britain declared war on Germany — would have had a better grasp that ‘ranges’ is a noun word describing long rocky jaggery mountains. And, you might have imagined Isitt had terse words for the Air Services Licensing Authority about how he’d have had them court martialled over their staff’s contrived ignorance about not noticing the biggest airline they were supposed to be regulating, was flying a dangerous non-mountainous unlicensed route, with DC-3s that numerous airports couldn’t track.

And, the Air Services Licensing Authority might’ve said, ‘we are about to be stood down and as of August 1st 1963, there will be new men on the governance board. And besides, you should scold Edward Denis Blundell, who was the longest serving Chairman of the Air Services Licensing Authority. Indeed, Blundell was appointed as the chairman from 1952 to 1962, as A. R. Tyrrel’s book, Strong to Endure: Waitaki Boys’ High School 1883-1983, records.’ Oddly, the New Zealand Law Society omitted mentioning this 10-year stint as Chairman of the Air Services Licensing Authority, in their otherwise thorough obituary. You’d have thought the Law Society would have recalled that Blundell moved like a chess piece in 1962, to become the president of the very association to which New Zealand’s legal fraternity belongs. After all, in the 13th edition of New Zealand Law Journal of July 24 1962, a feature article was devoted to introducing the Law Society’s new president, wherein it mentioned he had recently resigned the chairmanship of the Air Services Licensing Authority. Given that in his role representing NAC — so soon after resigning the chairmanship of the Air Services Licensing Authority — Blundell would in effect weaponize his role as the President of the Law Society, what are the odds that on July 24, 1871, Bean Rock Lighthouse, located in Auckland Harbour, was first lit and played a critical role in early maritime navigation in the Waitematā Harbour. And, how uncanny that the completion of electrification of the Wellington-Upper Hutt suburban railway service occurred on July 24 1955? Ergo, the codified comms telegraphed looming disasters if the upcoming completion of air transportation networks didn’t include sufficient navigation aids.

And, how uncanny the very next year, almost everyone associated with the Skyliner Crash lawyered up, while Mr Blundell was President of the Law Society. And, while Mr Blundell represented National Airways Corporation, the very airline that he had regulated for nine years, and in five of those years, NAC flew the 441 route unlicensed.

During the 1954 Tangiwai Train Disaster Board of Inquiry, as legal counsel Mr E.D. Blundell and Mr H.R.C. Wild represented the Engine-drivers, Firemen and Cleaners’ Association (E.F.C.A.) and the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants (A.S.R.S.). These organizations represented the locomotive crews and the broader New Zealand Railways workforce, respectively, during probe into the staged ‘Tangiwai Disaster’. While the obituary mentioned their elected president had “often appeared in disputes involving New Zealand Railways”, but Law Society didn’t mention him acting as a lawyer in either inquiry, while simultaneously he was a partner in Bell Gully. In 1945, Blundell set about organizing the legal profession in the capital, and he would do the same again, when he was elected to the New Zealand Law Society in mid-1962.

Snoop Snapshot: Bell Gully resulted from a merger between Bell Gully & Co of Wellington, founded in 1860, and Buddle Weir & Co of Auckland, founded in 1840, and from a merger with the law firm Whitaker & Russell, founded in 1861, by Freemason Frederick Whitaker and Methodist lay-preacher Thomas Russell, the same year that the Bank of New Zealand was established by colonial legislation. Bro. Whitaker became NZ’s Attorney-General and Premier in 1863, while Mr Russell filled the role of Colonial Defence Minister. In this ministerial post, the primary founder of the Bank of New Zealand, Thomas Russell, oversaw the dispersal of funds for the ‘Waikato War’ of 1863-64, that were brokered by the BNZ. Meanwhile, Parliament was like an executive branch of the Bank of New Zealand; 28 shareholders and five directors were in the House with the founder.

In other words, while Blundell chaired the Air Services Licensing Authority, he did a stint representing the workforce of Railways at the Inquiry into New Zealand’s worst train disaster, that convened in 1954, and in 1962, he quit the Air Licensing chairmanship the year prior to the Hastings DC-3 Skyliner crashing to become President of the New Zealand Law Society, whose members were in high demand during the investigations into New Zealand’s worst air disaster in 1963.

Blundell was first appointed in 1952 for a three year term by Lieutenant-General Sir Bernard Freyberg, 1st Baron Freyberg, N.Z.’s Governor General from 1946 to 1952, and would himself become Governor General from 1972 to 1977, and on whose watch Prime Minister Norman Kirk died in suspicious circumstances on August 31 1974.
What are the odds that a prime minister who wanted New Zealand to be the leading nation in the barter economy would die on the same day that the New Zealand Australia Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed, on August 31 1965? Kirk had undergone operations for varocise veins in both legs and flown to northland in an unpressurised air force plane to stay at the holiday home of Air Marshall Rochford Hughes, with army nurses, at Whangaraei Heads. Kirk phoned the wife of Minister of Defence from a local diary, saying he was seriously ill, and he was taken to the Old Lady’s Home of Compassion hospital in Island Bay, Wellington, where there was no security, as former mayor Bob Harvey retold in his autobiography, Wild Westie. In the chapter “The Demise of Norman Kirk”, Harvey opines that Kirk was assassinated.

Kirk had opposed the selection of Blundell as Governor General on the grounds that the Prime Minister at the time was John Marshall, and the pair were close friends.

On Blundell’s watch, there was no Royal Commission to establish the circumstances leading to the death of a sitting Prime Minister. Crucially, Marshall, who had been the Minister of Overseas Trade, had negotiated access for New Zealand’s agricultural exports to the British market when the United Kingdom joined the European Economic Community (EEC), and he had signed the NAFTA deal with Australia in 1965. Marshall, whose nickname was Gentleman Jack and who served for 20 years as a Cabinet Minister in New Zealand’s equivalent of the ‘Tory Party’, was knighted as a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire. This knight-hood was promulgated in the New Zealand Gazette, Issue 093 on September 26 1974. Cutely, this date just happened to riff the date, September 26 1904, that the steward of Cook Strait shipping, Pelorus Jack, a dolphin, was protected by Order in Council. What are the odds then that upon his retirement from politics, Gentleman Jack’s knight-hood was specially gazetted in the London Gazette on October 4 1974, since it was October 4 1839 that the New Zealand Company ship Tory departed Port Nicholson (now Wellington Harbour), for Cloudy Bay and the Wairau, across the Cook Strait.

And, you would have thought that Governor General, Brigadier Bernard Fergusson, might have thought it was strange that New Zealand’s worst air disaster followed the nation’s worst road disaster by six months, that’d occurred on the Queen’s latest royal visit. Which was doubly strange, because the country’s worst train disaster occurred on her first royal visit. And, just two days before the princess was married in 1947, the country’s worst fire in Christchurch performed like a ‘baptism of fire’ for New Zealand’s Establishment, since the Ballantynes’ Fire was the foundational event in a covert war to alter the political center of gravity of the South Pacific archipelago.

And, so you might have imagined the Brigadier squinting through his monocule and looking at the first shot of the wreckage printed in the Auckland Star, and thinking how it’d taken until Friday afternoon for this carnage to be seen, that had been authored by the dark artists producing Trojan Horse ‘worst of types disasters’ in the underground Empire Games. Surely the Sandhurst-trained Brigadier might’ve thought if the Air Force possessed hardy helicopters, they’d have captured a better snap sooner.

After all, following World War II, Fergusson commanded the 1st Battalion, the Black Watch, in Germany from 1948 to 1951, and was Colonel (Intelligence) at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), at Versailles, and then Director of Psychological Warfare operations during the Suez Crisis, which was a joint invasion of Egypt by the British, French and Israelis to take control of the Suez Canal. The psychological warfare radio broadcasts made under Fergusson’s direction and directed at Egypt, had claimed President Gamal Abdel Nasser was under the influence of Zionism, and urged Egyptians to attack Israel. To construe that Nasser was under the influence of Zionism would have been as plausible to Egyptians, as JFK telling
the American Press, the Vatican’s Jesuits and its Maltese Knights have zero influence on the White House, straight after he spoke his famous Secret Society speech. It’s almost as if Brigadier Bernard Fergusson was recruited to help carry on a Hundred Years’ War, that had morphed from being a crusade to wrest the ‘Holy Lands’ from the ‘Sand People’ for the Zionists — and into a dirty war against the gentiles down under.

To wit, on his black watch, the Public Court of Inquiry was brazen state-craft performing as banal judicial theatre, with the poker-face legal fraternity’s trick of contrived ignorance, wherein screening actions set up subsequent unwitting misdeeds, that need to be viewed as a unitary whole, as a U.S. litigator, David Luban has stated more generally. The ‘failure’ of the Kamai Crash Public Court of Inquiry to call out the conflicts of interests, the withholding of vital navigation technologies, and the metaphors dancing across the pages of the transcripts — belies a group decision that signalled a screening action: the scared cows of the DC-3 crash must not be corralled.

In his paper, “Contrived ignorance”, published in The Georgetown Law Journal in 1999, David Luban argued the case for modelling the “Structure of Contrived Ignorance” by viewing screening actions and so-called unwitting misdeeds as a unitary whole rather than separated by time-frames. Luban proposed viewing the version of the self that wittingly performed screening actions to preserve his own oblivion as the principle actor, while the agent is the later self at the time of the unwitting misdeed, who effectively ratifies the earlier self’s choice to compartmentalize or screen off potential knowledge of wrongdoing. A quote Luban draws from a U.S. trial seems apt for this summary context of the ‘Kaimai Crash Sacred Cows’, “Ostriches … are not merely careless birds.” In making his point that “in criminal law, willful ignorance is grounds for conviction, rather than acquittal,” Luban was in essence, laying out the gaps in catching and convicting group enterprises that contrive ignorance.

To those with a sixth sense for symbol sorcery to detect the metaphors floating like petulant petals performing an opera in an ornamental pond in a dream, the hacking of reality that occurred on July 3 1963 appears as a thematically lucid orchestrated symphony played by synchronized swimmers signalling designated roles in water-chess, while telegraphing bone-chilling threats that are conveyed as ‘breaking news’.

But, what if these causal factors were red herrings constructed to create a plausible set of catastrophic circumstances, to lead everyone off the trail of a conspiracy. What if the transmission bleed between Whenuapai and Tauranga was also part of the plot, to add noise to the navigational cluster-fuck? And, what if there was a false radio beacon transmitting a local signal from the Kaimais, to lead the Hastings’ pilots to think they were almost at Tauranga Airport, while flying blind in a timely gale?

The subtextual codification of the Kaimai DC-3 Crash, reveals the themes concerning civil aviation in the conflict areas of provincial rivalries, national development, and the preferencing of commercially viable routes, while neglecting a public service-orientation, that was provided in the National Airways Act 1945, establishing NAC.

As Peter Aimer wrote in his article “Aviation” in Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of NZ:

“The tussle between the state and private enterprise has been a continuous theme in New Zealand’s aviation history. Relegated to a secondary role behind the state’s virtual monopoly at the end of the Second World War, private enterprise triumphed by the end of the century.” — P. Aimer (n.d), Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand

Although, Aimer never imagined there was a sinister system implemented at the end of World War II, to periodically jolt the nation’s political commercial, martial and cultural trajectory, he did neatly summarize the history of New Zealand’s civil aviation.

In 1978, Robert Muldoon’s National Government forced a merger between National Airways Corporation and Air New Zealand, thereby consolidating a state monopoly over civil aviation into one neat state-owned commercial enterprise. In 1986, David Lange’s Labour Government passed the Commerce Act, as an ‘anti-monopoly’ move, to ‘increase competition’ and the State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Act, to facilitate the sale of newly created private-style corporate entities, out of bureaucratic government departments. The foreign takeover of New Zealand companies and state assets was legally possible because the 1986 Commerce Act focused entirely on domestic market behavior, not on the nationality of asset ownership. In merger evaluations, wealth transferred to foreign monopolists was often treated merely as an ‘offset’ to the claimed efficiency gains. Ergo, where tributes from the colonies were paid to Rome, in the American Empire, profits flow would to trans-corporate imperial bank accounts.

And so, in 1986, domestic airlines were exposed to foreign ownership. The Australian airline, Ansett (NZ), and later Qantas (NZ) competed with Air New Zealand on the main trunk route. In 1989, Air New Zealand was sold to a consortium led by Brierley Investments Ltd, and would return to partial state ownership to save the airline from financial collapse in 2001. However, a catalytic event occurred the year after the merger that forced NAC to amalgamate with Air NZ in 1978, that would jolt the Establishment and lead to the 1986 passage of the Commerce Act and State-Owned Enterprises Act. The catalytic event was the crash of an Air NZ DC-10 into Mount Erebus on November 28 1979, which was inflicted to coerce key insiders of the Establishment to move bureaucratic mountains. Or, more mountains could move in front of flight crews anytime, anyplace, to anyone who doesn’t get aboard to accelerate the trans-corporate fusion of the New Zealand economy with Australia and America.

It is a system that gains control without visibility, and contorts crises into contracts because such catalytic calamities were contrived, and they were quiet coups occurring mostly at the provincial level. When John Dulles flew into N.Z. to hatch out a military treaty with the Government in February 1951, it is critical to know that it was he and his brother Allen, who drafted the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, with its onerous terms that dismantled Germany’s empire, and its harsh war reparations, that together would inevitably add to the economic woes and stir the resentment necessary to add to a broader plan to stage a second global war. Allen Dulles had trained with the Office of Strategic Services in Switzerland during World War II, and would become one of the Wall Street lawyers and bankers that established in the Central Intelligence Agency.

This architecture of crises was to became classified, and election campaigns were to work as pipelines for infrastructure upgrades, and careers would be engineered or captured. The cryptocracy institutionalized blackmail, brinkmanship and bulldozing.

The cryptocratic dark state war weaponized perceptions to wage an invisible war that blended the causal factors found in accident or fire investigations or public inquiries, with the reform remedies to catalyze the expected contracts, control and catharthsis.

The objective to forge a police state colony via the modus operandi of periodic jolts, is sustained by the probes that are framed, cast, and timed — as part of the cover-up.

The machinary of this dark system makes accountability and transparency impossible.

And this is why, after nearly 80 years of cover-ups, New Zealanders’ expectations of transparency from public institutions are so low, they go looking for transparency in the lingerie sections of department stores, especially when there are ‘sales’ running.

Accountability is only to be found at a Lotto kiosk, where state-regulated hope is sold.

Key Finding: The Kaimai DC-3 Plane Crash was a ritualized victory lap inflicted to threaten the ‘pilots’ and ‘hostesses’ of the Establishments around the nation to better ‘steward’ the Old Boys Networks to navigate the commercial, technological and political transformations underway. 

The thematic date-riffs associated with the staged disaster and the Court of Inquiry prove that the probe was theater to smooth the plot’s rough surfaces, by shoving the metaphorical icy snow into the factual crevices, cavities, and cracks to establish a narrative to hide the conspiracy.

Reading the refractions through a cracked looking glass, these inversions belied a Carrolian Wonderland of militarist wizardry and witchcraft gleefully mocking the hapless naïve muggles. 

A likely criticism of this code-breaking exposé is that it is the work of a conspiracy theorist who has fallen down the proverbial rabbit hole, to make sense of a world that is chaotic, at a time when the geopolitical tensions are tectonic. Such critics, who have blathered before more generally and most vocally during the scamdemic about tin-foil hat-wearing conspiracy theorists, dismissed the ‘new world order’ as a trope. Indeed, coincidence theorists pimp local fallacices such as arguing from ignorance, strawman tactics, and omissions of key evidence — to maintain stasis with official narratives.

However, the Snoopman’s conspiracy seerist code-cracking cuts through the thick Fog of Coincidence Theory, to reveal a cryptic ‘matrix code’ that is the hidden wiring connecting the numerous staged disasters, engineered crises and catalytic shocks over the best part of eight decades. It follows that these metaphor-laden date riffs, that are hidden in plain sight, could be measured mathematically for their probabilities.

What set of mathematical models can be used to trigulate the data sets of such staged events over the course of eight decades, and that would be: capable to discern the probabilities beyond coincidence; the over-arching meta-objective, meta-narratives and meta-themes; and the likely suspects or guilty institutions or shadow government responsible for each of the staged events, and for the continuity of the covert war?

The other likely criticism is that Snoopman has not provided the paper trail of work schedules, memos, and contracts across multiple institutions to reveal the network.

Furthermore, Snoopman hasn’t shown the mechanisms, the metereological data and institutional infrastructure necessary to engineer a gale to occur with such precision timing to synchronize with all the theme-laden date riffing he claims to detect.

Since every newsroom ignores the Propaganda Model developed in the hi-8 video days of 1988, they are yet to jump over their first hurdle to scuttle the same out-dated news model that has been replicated across a crisis-ridden world lacking adult supervision.

And, every tenured professor in this Labyrinth Land is yet to pass through the Bog of Eternal Conspiracy Stench located at the rear end of every university. They are afraid of falling in the stinking swamp and smelling of boggy conspiracy theories — forever.

Yet, this Labyrinth Land has it’s Ludos to summon rocks when the metaphorical bridge collapses. These ‘Bogs of Eternal Conspiracy Stench’ started to fill with sludge during the McCarthy Era, when the FBI director J. Edgar Hoover wielded his prosecutorial bureaucracy in cahoots with Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy and his top aide Roy Cohn to slur so many of being ‘card carrying communists’. Still recoiling from fear of the emergent surveillance state, most left-leaning Democrat-voting liberal academics, journalists, and public figures shrunk in the aftermath of the JFK Assassination, rather than call-out the flimsy cover-story of a lone wolf assassination, seen handing out leaflets in New Orleans for the Fair Play for Cuba Committee (FPCC), a ‘grassroots’, pro-Castro organization that supported the Cuban Revolution, in the months before the killing of Kennedy. With this sheep-dipping as a communist activist, Lee Harvey Oswald was associated with Communist Cuba, Fidel Castro and his regime’s political allegiances with communist revolutionaries at a time when Soviet Russia and Rockefeller America were locked into an arms race. To openly pick apart the assassination of President Kennedy, liberals would’ve had to have made peace with the frictions that arise fast, whenever mortals dare to mention sacred cows.

Ever since, left-leaning public figures, especially, have shrunk from examining the big conspiracies, such as the wedges of war constructed to make two global conflicts happen in the first half of the 20th century, the JFK Assassination, and the 9/11 Coup.

And consequently, they are like 24 year-olds with a post-graduate degree in political science, full of swagger, and thinking they know the world. But, they don’t, because neither do the professors, because the filtering of the Propaganda Model applies universities expecially since they have become corporatized, with branded sponsors.

Because America is the world’s premiere propaganda super-power, the enshitification effect of news, currents affairs and their entwinement with the programming transmitted through Hollywood movies, serialized dramas and media cartel novels, the entrainment the human species to feel small, powerless and exhausted.

In New Zealand, newsrooms have a poor comprehension of the mechanisms of power that have been constructed to run beneath the stainless steel ‘civics’ bench tops.

Books such as Nicky Hager’s Secret Power, Marcia Russell’s Revolution, Ben Vidgen’s State Secrets, Bruce Jesson’s Only Their Purpose is Mad, Jane Kelsey’s The New Zealand Experiment, and Ian Wishart’s Paradise Conspiracy go some way to shining a torch light on New Zealand’s fusion of corporate and state power. But, they don’t capture the power structure as a ruthless deep network waging a secret war to a hidden rhythm.

And while books on various disasters, crises, and operations such as Pat Booth’s The Mr Asia File, Peter Mahon’s Verdict of Erebus, Robin Morgan’s and Brian Whitaker’s Rainbow Warrior, Paul Bensemann’s Tragedy at Aramoana, Danny Keenan’s Terror in Our Midst?, David Fisher’s The Secret Life of Kim Dotcom, and Rebecca Macfies’s, Tragedy at Pike Rive Mine, all do valuble work to reveal the ‘who, what, when, how and why’ of the re-examined events. But, these books didn’t grasp the true nature of the broader machine, its operating system and its role in an invisible war that commenced in 1947.

Likewise, the ‘second looks’ at the demise of Flight 441 failed to detect the conspiracy.

Aviation historian Richard Waugh, whose book on the tragedy was published in 2003, says news of the DC-3 crash dominated newspaper headlines for about five days. The impact and fire was so bad that a pathologist was needed to identify the blackened, charred remains of the 20 passengers and three crew. In an era when air travellers dressed spiffy, the fire fuelled by the ruptured tanks burnt the flash clothes off the dead and dying. The pathologist said the injuries were worse than in car crashes due to the speed of the impact into a ridge. The fire meant identification required medical and dental records, such as X-rays photography, as far as the task could be achieved.

Waugh appeared in a documentary series taking a second look at N.Z. disasters.

How uncanny that the ‘Kaimai Crash’ episode of Descent from Disaster — about an ‘air-disaster’ that officially resulted from a lack of distance measuring equipment (DME) and other navigational equipment and instrument radio beacons amid a storm — aired on July 23 2013. This meant it landed on the same day, July 23 in 1851, when the barque, Maria, sank in Wellington Harbour, taking 28 lives. What are the odds the wreck of the Maria, near Cape Terawhiti on Wellington’s rugged south-western coast supplied more ammunition for locals, who’d tried to convince the government a light-house was needed? Ergo, a navigational safety metaphor was codified into the air-date.

But, since Waugh, Fautley, King and Gault failed to thunk evil — like a cold-blooded clan of vampires — they never considered the ‘Kaimai Crash’ was deliberate, and was one of a series of ‘worst of type disasters’ inflicted to inch the nation further along the trajectory of police state formation, by compromising malleable officials over time.

This code-cracking exposé has taught snoop-readers how to apply Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie logic to Nancy Drew or Scooby Doo enduring mysteries, current crimes and unfolding news events in order to spot-light the spooky darkness.

Brazenly, ‘the news’ is weaponized as a vector conveying codified signals that the ‘incidents’ were staged. Date riffs are a key detectable sign communicating threats, cooperation, authorship, and to telegraph covert objectives, scapegoats and rewards.

This isn’t to say that the news media are ‘all in’ on the rort. Most would be appalled.

Yet, the news-media mock unconventional investigation approaches and the results they can yield as the work of conspiracy theorists who have bumped their head while falling down a metaphorical rabbit hole. But, headlines newsanchors, and radioheads announce uncanny synchronicities, usually without realising that criminal syndicates are using the news as a mechanism to signal synchronized moves as ‘chess pieces’.

The syndicated news is the result of the Rockefellerization of America, and this business model has spread virally outward from its inverted totalitarian core. And, while this Rockefellerization of every industry into cartel syndicates is recognized by thinking academics, journalists and screenwriters who recall The Network, it’s only conspiracy seerists who are open to the date riffs, that Snoopman sensed in his bones — cause they see he’s detected N.Z.’s emergent Cryptocratic Deep State applying a modus operandi of codifying each crisis with specific themed metaphors, like music.

Indeed, newsrooms miss the point of the adventures under-ground, which occurred as a result of Alice falling down the rabbit hole. Alice woke up, and emerged — changed.

Lewis Carroll, a mathematician, used inversions as paradoxes of logic to create the distorting dream world of Wonderland, which had an internal consistency of madness.

As Costa Botes said, reflecting on Forgotten Silver, “It’s not hard to fool people.”

Brazen lies spread quicker than the naked truth has time to stick on underwear.

If you haven’t yet subscribed to The Snoopman Files, it’s because Snoopman is a nobody.

Post-Script: Snoopman’s father ‘fought’ his way into World War II as a radio operator with the Royal New Zealand Air Force, which was controlled by Freemasons loyal to the British Masonic Empire. He passed the RNZAF’s written test with ‘flying colours’, but their Masonic leadership tried to trip him up in the interview with trick questions. Yet, he knew the science, technology and processes — back of hand-like. He was stationed in Bougainville and supported the brutal,  gruelling jungle patrols. As the radioman, he walked the trails behind the company, since the logic was that a dead radioman couldn’t communicate enemy position, nor for assistance. 

When Snoopman realized New Zealand has been embroiled in a covert war for the best part of eight decades, he comprehended why he had been receiving intuitive “pulls” to periodically research New Zealand’s crisis events. Between 2015 and 2017, he could feel they were connected somehow, but he couldn’t see the thread connecting them all. There were to many antennas causing interference with his reception. And, he would come away from second-hand bookshops feeling like no-one had nailed New Zealand’s hidden wiring. In a metaphorical way, Snoopman has become a receiver station, decoding the incoming transmissions, and typing up ‘situation reports’.

Back when Snoopman was ‘Snoopboy’, he delivered the Auckland Star during the exciting days when Pope John Paul II and President Ronald Reagan survived assassination attempts. There was also a cervical cancer scare linked to tampons. The lead story didn’t state the tampons’ intentions. No one on his paper-round would say. Ever since, Snoopman notices when context in news is missing in action.

Snapshot: New Zealand’s banks operate as a racketeering cartel maintaining a financial-enslavement system with a debt-based monetary architecture in which cash is kept scarce. This scarcity of a key resource, which is the key feature of cartels, compels households, businesses, and even public institutions to borrow manufactured credit and pay for the ‘privilege’. At a time when data is the ‘new gold’ resource, humans have been cast as harvestable product. Behind the scenes, New Zealand’s banking industry is restructuring its mechanisms to tether ‘citizens’ as chattel capital in their roles as customers, clients, consumers, cogworkers, contractors and chummy capitalists with trackable transactions in a blockchain currency with programmable features. Capitalism is being displaced with a new instrument of expansion: techno-feudalism.

Editor’s Note: Racketeering is a deceptive practice of offering solutions to problems created through coordinated concealment to extort money, assets or pecuniary stakes in enterprises.

FEW monkeys stop in the street to think about how cash is relatively scarce compared to credit, which is abundant. Yet, most monkeys have debts such as mortgages, car loans, and credit cards. Fewer still stop in the street in the dead of night to ponder why.

1. Artificial Scarcity of Cash

   Banks act as a cartel to maintain a scarcity of cash and by restricting the supply of this key resource, the banking industry compels society to ‘borrow’ credit.

2. ‘Loans’ are Manufactured Credit

   A bank ‘loan’ such as a mortgage is manufactured credit, that is borrowed into existence when the ‘loan’ contract is signed; banks are credit manufacturers.

3. Interest is an Extortionist Rent

   Interest is an extortionist fee that represents an extortionist rent on the funds marketed as ‘loans’, since no money that previously existed is lent.

4. Cartel Control of Currency Creation

   The private credit network as a banking cartel supplies interest-bearing currency that the Crown borrows into existence; these borrowings become ‘public debt’.

5. Principal and Interest Drives Up Prices

   Manufactured credit and the interest act in unison as twin drivers to cause inflation on products and services, and to push up property prices over time.

6. Bank Cartels Maintain Structural Unemployment

   Commercial banks and the Reserve Bank collaborate to adjust interest rates to control the level of (un)employment, by setting the OCR at Treasury auctions.

7. Austerity as a Whole of Society Debt Bondage Mechanism

   Societal financial enslavement results from restricting cash as a resource, to compel households, enterprises and governments to go into debt to private banks.

8. Immigration Supplies a Loan Market and Drives Down Labour Costs

   As a tool, immigration keeps wages and salaries low, while supplying a bank cartel with new sources of mortgages, business loans and overdrafts to fuel profits.
   

9. The Racketeering Costume Change: From Bail-outs to Bail-ins

   Bail-outs have been stealthily replaced with a bail-ins regime, called Open Bank Resolution, enabling savers’ deposits to be used to recapitalize distressed banks.
   

10. All Wars are Bankers Wars

    As an instrument of imperial expansion, capitalism requires conquests when the economic hitmen fail to swindle, bribe, or bully local chiefs with onerous deals.
    

11. Digital Currencies to Deepen Social Control
    The architecture of an algorithmically-programmed digital currency is being stealthily planned, built and implemented across N.Z. — to deepen social control.
    

12. Banks Inflict Financial Crises
    Banks inflict financial crises to strategically sabotage industries, politically capture nations and compromise administrations, to benefit client oligarchies.
    

13. The Banking Cartel is Core Componentary of N.Z.’s Cryptocratic Dark State

    N.Z. is ruled from the shadows by a cryptocracy signposting its chess moves with thematically-encoded date riffs — in cahoots with a transnational dark state.

Key Finding: New Zealand’s banking industry is restructuring its mechanisms to tether ‘citizens’ as chattel capital in their roles as customers, clients, consumers, cogworkers, contractors and chummy capitalists with trackable transactions in a blockchain currency with programmable features on a totalitarian trajectory to evolve into bipedal biometric cloud cells. These 13 secrets of banking show how the human monkey in New Zealand, are farmed as tax slaves to finance public debt that is conjured from private credit every Thursday afternoon in private. The 13th secret — thematic historical date-riffing — reveals the hidden wiring that connects the entire componentary of the banking cartel, to signal cooperation as a criminal to ‘the fix’.

➳ Introduction:

FEW monkeys stop in the street to think about how cash is relatively scarce compared to credit, which is abundant. Yet, most monkeys have debts such as mortgages, car loans, and credit cards. Fewer still stop in the street in the dead of night to ponder why.

Monkeys of New Zealand know the ‘Big Four’ banks make enormous profits, but fail to comprehend that they operate as an extortionist price-fixing racketeering cartel.

Racketeering is a deceptive practice of offering solutions to problems created through coordinated concealment to extort money, assets or pecuniary stakes in enterprises.

The New Zealand Monkey will say they are Australian-owned and assume that’s the end of the ownership-chain story. New Zealand has 27 operating banks, which are ‘regulated’ by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (as mentioned later). Sixteen offer personal banking services, while the others focus on commercial banking.

Yet, despite their slick marketing, their activities have a hidden sinister purpose.

This sinister purpose can be un-done by honing in on the secrets, tracing the root causes behind the surface effects and matching the core problems to real solutions.

Skip to the subsection “Mammon’s Monsters’ 13 Banking Secrets” and to the subsection “Context, Recap and Concluding Picture to 13 Dirty Secrets of Banking” — or continue reading.

Banks play a slick marketing game to project an image of an ‘industry’ acting earnestly to help society meet its needs, wants and aspirations. Yet, this especial cartel group — which has its own incorporated society called the Banking Association — are acting as a criminal group enterprise practicising structural deception. Bankers occupy a uniquely privileged position pretending to lend other peoples’ money without actually parting with any funds that existed prior to the N.Z. Monkey — who are cast as witless ‘borrowers’ — signing the ‘loan’ contracts. And, the bankers not only profit from these structurally coercive fraudulent transactions, as the Snoopman snoop-splains. But also, New Zealand’s Financial Markets Authority (FMA), the Commerce Commission, and the Treasury all turn a blind eye — then wink.

Everyone who has ever played the game of Monopoly knows that if the most strategic or competitive player at the table gets to be the banker, they will frequently win the game. By gaining more properties, the player as banker extracts rents off everyone else, and the other players are cleaned out and beaten. The game can be viewed as a simulation of the ego’s greed fused with capitalism — which is a private political system that wields the economic means to exclude as many people as possible from owning land — and where the bank is the ‘silent partner’, but it never goes bankrupt. The real world parallel features shady bankers who monopolize the Get of Jail Free Cards due to ‘regulatory capture’, leading to merged ‘too big to jail’ banks.

The common understanding among mortal monkeys is that banks loan out the deposits of savers. This cover-story is a labyrinthine lie to hide the structural racketeering, and this systemic fraud is maintained by the Commerce Commission.

In 2023, the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs requested the Commerce Commission to undertake a market study on the personal banking sector. This review is one of a handful of competition study’s commissioned since 2018 across various industries. The Minister’s terms of reference worked to screen off the commercial banking sector, which precluded naming the awkward features of the debt-based monetary system, that relies on manufactured credit from the private banks buying government securities from the Treasury’s Debt Management Office at auctions.

This avoidance in naming the hidden mechanisms required for the issuance of conjured credit loaned by the private sector to the public sector was by codified the clockwork steps associated with this personal banking sector market study, as shown by Snoopman in the devilish details of the thirteenth secret of New Zealand banking.

The regulator practises the trick of contrived ignorance, wherein screening actions set up subsequent unwitting misdeeds, that need to be viewed as a unitary whole, as a U.S. litigator David Luban, has stated more generally. The Commerce Commission’s recent market study of the banking sector only ‘investigated’ personal banking services, and excluded commercial banking activities. This decision signalled a screening action.

In his paper, “Contrived ignorance”, published in The Georgetown Law Journal in 1999, David Luban argued the case for modelling the “Structure of Contrived Ignorance” by viewing screening actions and so-called unwitting misdeeds as a unitary whole rather than separated by time-frames. Luban proposed viewing the version of the self that wittingly performed screening actions to preserve his own oblivion as the principle actor, while the agent is the later self at the time of the unwitting misdeed, who effectively ratifies the earlier self’s choice to compartmentalize or screen off potential knowledge of wrongdoing. A quote Luban draws from a U.S. trial seems apt for this summary of banking secrets in a New Zealand context, “Ostriches … are not merely careless birds.” In making his point that “in criminal law, willful ignorance is grounds for conviction, rather than acquittal,” Luban was in essence, laying out the gaps in catching and convicting group enterprises that contrive ignorance.

In sanitized language, the Commission’s 333-page draft (and final) report entitled “Personal banking services market study”, the regulator typed the c-word — cartel — only once. The Commission claimed it found no evidence of explicit coordination or tacit coordination between competing banks, despite noting features consistent with the conditions for coordination. These conditions included: (1) concentrated supply and high barriers to entry and expansion; (2) the major banks’ focus on maintaining existing share of supply and margins with sporadic competition; (3) persistently high profitability; (4) homogenous products; (5) ability of providers to readily observe each other’s prices and volumes and a tendency to match prices; (6) limited innovation, stable demand, and a lack of market volatility; (7) and low rates of customer switching and high customer inertia which makes potential coordination easier to sustain.

The Commerce Commission, which pitched itself in an oxymoronic way as an independent Crown agency, read internal bank documents and solicited submissions.

It also commissioned Verian to undertake consumer research regarding personal banking services “to better understand consumers’ current situation, behaviour and interaction with personal banking services and providers.” The results of Verian’s ‘study’ — which was merely a market survey with fancy graphics — formed an ‘input’ into the Commission’s assessment of whether N.Z.’s retail banking sector was competitive, and whether it could be improved to promote long-term benefits for consumers of personal banking services. Verian (formerly known as Kantar Public and Colmar Brunton) pitched itself as “an independent research and evaluation agency, providing evidence and advisory services to government and the public realm, across Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world.” Ergo, another advisory consultancy in a world system of Rockefeller-style business syndicates that are protected by state regulators leaning on contracted advisors, as pioneered by McKinsey, which shields constituted authorities from accountability with a tailored contrived ignorance cloak.

Ultimately, N.Z.’s four major banking brands — BNZ, ANZ, ASB and Westpac — have in common the same top three underlying beneficial institutional owners: Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street. These three institutional investors collude at the apex of corporate ownership across western capitalism, to transition state economies to a post-capitalism world with a new imperial instrument of expansion: techno-feudalism.

Every empire needs an instrument of expansion. The technologies, institutions, and oil resources comprised the instrument of expansion that was fought over in WWI and WWII. What happens to the instrument of expansion determines the arc of history. Dominance over the instrument of expansion greases the imperialists’ machinery. A new instrument of expansion results from the invention of new technologies to drive a combination of structural forces to gain the resources and territories to sustain the innovations in administrative systems that can give an empire the edge over rivals. The rulers of Western Civilization have fomented three seperate Hundred Years’ Wars at historical moments when the world system was undergoing tectonic shifts due to the developments in the three elements of the instrument of expansion, that oligarchs exploit to forge or reforge their empires. Capitalism is being replaced with a new instrument of expansion.

Predictably, the Commerce Commission makes no mention of Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street. These entities are Voldemort pronouns; THEY must not be named. The ‘Big Three’ coordinate influence through their corporate governance departments.

Today, a banal-sounding central bank for central bankers called the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has come to “control monetary policy in the developed world”, as Adam Lebor wrote in Tower of Basel: The Shadowy History of the Secret Bank that Runs the World. Yet, the Bank for International Settlements was officially established to manage Germany’s war reparations after the engineered Crash of 1929.

Instead, the Basel-based bank operated as a mechanism to funnel capital for building up Germany’s war machine. Indeed, Carroll Quigley wrote in Tragedy & Hope:

“the powers of financial capitalism had [a] far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalist fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent private meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for Intrenational Settlements in Basle [sic], Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world’s central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank, in the hands of men like Montagu Norman of the Bank of England, Benjamin Strong of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, Charles Rist of the Bank of France, and Halmar Schacht of the Reichbank, sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence cooperative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.” — Quigley (1996). Tragedy and Hope, p. 324

These central bankers made many decisions of economic and political importance regarding the planet’s key regions, at the apex of a structured world cartel of the national financial powers. The central bankers were technical agents of the dominant investment bankers of their own countries who could fire them at any time. Together they comprised a ‘grid’ of international bankers, as described in Conjuring Hitler.

Crucially, for this exposé of the 13 secrets of banking, Quigley went on to state:

“The substantive financial powers of the world were in the hands of these investment bankers (also called “international” or “merchant” bankers) who remained largely behind the scenes in their own unincorporated private banks. These formed a system of international cooperation and national dominance which was more private, more powerful, and more secret than that of their agents in the central banks. The dominance of investment bankers was based on their control over the flows of credit and investment funds in their own countries and throughout the world. They could dominate the financial and industrial systems of their own countries by their influence over the flow of current funds through bank loans, the discount rate, and the rediscounting of commercial debts; they could dominate governments by their control over current government loans and the play of the international exchanges. Almost all of this power was exercised by the personal influence and prestige of men who had demonstrated their ability in the past to bring off successful financial coups, to keep their word, to remain cool in a crisis, and to share their winning opportunities with their associates. In this system the Rothschilds had been preeminent during much of the nineteenth century, but, at the end of that century, they were being replaced by J.P. Morgan whose central office was in New York, although it was always operated as if it were in London (where it had, indeed, originated as George Peabody and Company in 1838). — Quigley (1996). Tragedy and Hope, p. 326

Quigley, who taught at the Jesuit’s Georgetown University, had moved for 20 years among the British Elite, or the Milner Group, who had engineered WWI and WWII, and he had access to their private papers for two and a half years, out of which he completed writing The Anglo-American Establishment in 1949; it was published in 1981. (The U.S. publishers likely embellished the title, it’s really a study of the British Elite).

The core of a British ‘Secret Élite’ had met on February 15 1890 at Lord Nathaniel Rothschild’s country estate to discuss a world domination plan hatched by Cecil John Rhodes. This megalomaniacal British ‘Secret Élite’ plotted World War I and then with some new blood, three factions worked monolithically to bamboozle the Nazis. The public is served up the trigger for war, rather than the calculated chess moves by all players in a series of ‘grand masters’ competitions over a numbers of years to make war ‘inevitable’. It could be visualized in what Snoopman calls a wedge of war model.

Power has shifted over the course of the 20th Century from governments to central banks, according to Catherine Austin Fitts, who was the managing director of the Wall Street investment bank, Dillon, Read & Co. in the 1980s. The Basel-based private Central Bank, the Bank for International Settlements, which is owned by the major central banks, was not only established to be a conduit to build up the German War Machine, and to control finance and settle transactions that would circumvent allegiances to their respective nation states. It was also established to crisis manage a permanent war world economy. Fitts says a control grid with programmable money is being established in which transactions can be tracked to mine the data of humans as harvestable commodities who can be traced, tolled, taxed, ticketed, and tethered.

The form money takes is legitimated by the authority of the dominant institutions.

N.Z.’s ‘Big Four’ banks are: ANZ (Australia and New Zealand Banking Group), BNZ (Bank of New Zealand), ASB (Auckland Savings Bank), which is owned by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and Westpac (which is a portmanteau Western and Pacific, formed in 1982 from the merger between Bank of New South Wales and the Commercial Bank of Australia. The Big Four control 90% of the personal banking market, with combined ‘assets’ of $580 billion, while the local banks’ combined ‘assets’ are $25 billion. There are a handful of smaller New Zealand-owned banks: TSB (Taranaki Savings Bank), Kiwi Bank, and Cooperative Bank, Heartland Bank and SBS (Southland Building Society); and a number of building societies and credit unions.

BNZ is owned by National Australia Bank, whose top four custodians (May 1 2025) are: HSBC (Australia) holds a 24.5% share; JP Morgan Australia’s stake is 16.2%; CitiCorp’s holding is 12.8%; and BNP Paribas owns a 2.08% stake. The top three underlying beneficial holders: State Street, 7.28%; Vanguard, 6.04%; BlackRock, 5.8%.

ANZ is majority held by institutional investors with the top twenty owners holding 61.72% of ANZ’s stocks, according to Pestel Analytics (Sept. 1, 2025). State Street holds a 12.43% stake in ANZ; Vanguard owns 3.55%, and BlackRock holds a 2.95% share.

Westpac’s ownership is spread among numerous institutional and mutual funds, domestic and foreign. However, the biggests stakes are held by Vanguard, 11.41% State Street, 7.56%; and BlackRock, 6.5%, according to Investing.com (1 May 2026).

ASB, which is owned by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, is in turned majority owned by U.S. institutional investors, who hold more than 60%. Vanguard holds a 10.93% stake in CBA; State Street owns 6.07%, and BlackRock holds a 6.36% share.

For the years 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, these ‘Big Four’ exported over $6 billion in net-profits to Australia (and beyond), while combined after-tax profits are expected to “tiptoe higher” in 2026. Back in 2024, the four ‘Australian-owned’ banks made more profit than the rest of New Zealand’s 200 largest companies combined said Newswire.

In 2022, the entire industry’s ‘Net Interest Income tallied’ to $13.13 billion, KPMG reported. Net Interest Income (NII) represents the gross profit a bank generates from its core business operations: borrowing and lending money. This is the sum difference arrived at from subtracting the ‘money’ the bank earns from its interest-yielding assets, meaning loans and lines of credit, and the ‘money’ the bank pays to fund those loans, including interest paid on retail customer deposits (savings accounts, and term deposits) and wholesale funding sourced from international financial markets. This is the sum before subtracting expenses including taxes, overhead and staff salaries.

So, this track record of “racheting out” high profits led to the Commission’s inquiry.

Foreign banks with a presence in New Zealand are: two American banks, CitiBank and JP Morgan Chase; one British bank, HSBC (the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation); one Dutch firm, RaboBank; three Chinese banks, China Construction Bank, Bank of China and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China; two Indian firms, the Bank of India, and the Bank of Baroda; one Japanese bank, the Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group; and one South Korean entity, the Kookmin Bank.

Credit Suisse, which operated in N.Z. from 1990 to 2023, and initially financed privatizations on the advise of four ex-Treasury staff, had a long-standing partnership with First NZ Capital (now Jarden), was taken over by a Swiss bank rival, UBS, in 2023.

UBS (Union Bank of Switzerland) is a non-registered bank located in HSBC Tower.

CitiBank is owned by Citigroup, which in turned is majority owned by institutional investors including: Vanguard holds approximately 8.801% of shares; BlackRock owns a 6.589% stake, and State Street Corp manages around 4.357% of shares.

JP Morgan Chase’s institutional shareholders account for 74.92% of total shares as at March 2026. The top three institutional shareholders are: Vanguard, 9.85%; BlackRock, 7.85%; and State Street, 4.65%, Investopedia reported, as at Dec. 31, 2025.

HSBC (the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation) is also majority owned by institutional investors with the top three stakes held by: Fisher Asset Management, 21.3%; Dimensional Fund Advisors, 12.4%; and Morgan Stanley, 8.97%. In turn, the top four owners of Morgan Stanley are: Mitsubishi UFJ, 23.91%; Vanguard, 7.59%; State Street, 6.58; and BlackRock, 6.04%, according to Yahoo Finance as at Dec. 31 2025.

Mitsubishi UFJ is also owned by numerous domestic and foreign institutional investors. The top three shareholders are: BlackRock, 7.70%; Vanguard, 7.49%; and Nomura Asset Management, 4.06%, as at May 1 2026 according to Investing.com. In turn, the top three owners of Nomura Holdings: BlackRock, 9.43%; Nomura Asset Management, 4.72%; Vanguard; 4.35%, as May 8 2026, according to Investing.com

UBS is 32.8% owned by UBS Group, and 41.50% owned by exterior institutional investors including the top three shareholders: Vanguard, 8.48%; BlackRock, 5.61%; and Massachusetts Financial Services, 2.22%, reported Investing as at May 23 2026.

Public debt is bought at auctions by ‘Primary Dealers’. In New Zealand, the Primary Dealers registered with New Zealand Debt Management (part of the Treasury) are the approved financial institutions permitted to bid in auctions for New Zealand Government Securities. The current Primary Dealers are: ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited; Bank of New Zealand; Barrenjoey Markets Pty Limited; Citigroup Global Markets Limited; Commonwealth Bank of Australia; J.P. Morgan Securities Australia Limited; Westpac Banking Corporation, New Zealand, and UBS AG, Australia.

And so, we see the non-registered Swiss bank, UBS AG, that is located in the HBSC Tower, is one of the Primary Dealers in the New Zealand Edition of Monopoly. The Swiss bank that in 2023 bought out Credit Suisse, which had positioned itself in Wellington in 1987, and like a vulture lured four Treasury officials to squawk in advisory reports about corporatizations, to prepare a menu for corporate-raiding privatizations of state commercial trading entities, infrastructure and public services.

And so, the legacy of Credit Suisse slinks like a ghost inside the HSBC building, while its new owner, UBS, profits off the debt-enslavement system like a knighted vampire.

Richard Werner, the author of The Princes of Yen, says that the primary dealers are the ones that really control the interest rates, and not the central banks, by determining the supply of the currency at these auctions. As a cartel, the primary dealers in effect act as a regulators of the level of economic activity, which determines boom and bust cycles. Moreover, the primary dealers, conjure their own credit to buy the treasury’s securities, meaning the banking cartel profits off the theater of pretending to lend its own cash reserves to purchase the government’s bonds to finance public expenditure.

Furthermore, the tax departments of the state treasuries play along in this theater of enslavement by taxing the labour of the human monkeys cast as citizens and residents.

Monkeys toil as smurfs in their labour because they remain unaware of their purpose.

In these ways, the Commission obscured the cartel’s ‘blood and treasure’ mechanisms.

Let’s snoop-sketch the 13 structural secrets of New Zealand’s banking and its history, describing the mechanics of a cartelized industry suppressing human dynanism.

Mammon’s Monsters’ 13 Banking Secrets

1. Artificial Scarcity of Cash

The first secret is the key resource for facilitating debt-free transactions is kept scarce.

Banks act as a cartel to restrict the supply of debt-free cash, in the form of notes and coins, since the world’s banking cartels exist to manage financial enslavement.

Ergo, banks maintain an actual scarcity of cash to compel society to ‘borrow’ credit.

At least 80% of New Zealand’s currency in circulation is privately created bank credit, as Gillian Lawrence spelled out in a Reserve Bank Bulletin article entitled, “The Reserve Bank, Private Sector Banks and the Creation of Money and Credit” — in 2008.

Before the emergence of ATM’s in 1981, and electronic sales transactions in the mid-1980s, and electronic automatic payments in the late 1980s and through the 1990s, and taking off with commercial websites from the 2000s onward — money created by private banks via lending and recorded in ledgers, was 85–90% of circulated currency.

In the U.S., cash only constitutes about 1 to 3 per cent of the total currency, meaning the other 97-99 per cent is borrowed into existence as transaction specific credit, and as Treasury bonds purchased by 19 primary dealers, which are global banks that privately-own Federal Reserve stocks as a cartel monopolizing the currency supply.

In N.Z., the Primary Dealers were called the Registered Tender Counterparties (RTCs), but a name change occurred for consistency with other markets. They perform essentially the same core function as Primary Dealers in the U.S. when buying government debt at auctions. Ergo, the banks buy Treasury debt and the quantity they buy determines the wholesale price, or the Official Cash Rate, not the Reserve Bank.

And, in the United Kingdom, credit constitutes 97% of the money in circulation.

By acting as a banking cartel, bankers collude to make credit abundant. This collusion occurs with the collaboration of the state’s Treasury and Reserve Bank, the Commerce Commission, the State Services Commission, the government and its finance minister.

Snoop-Takeaway: Banks act as a cartel to maintain a scarcity of cash and by restricting the supply of this key resource cash the banking industry compels society to ‘borrow’ credit.

2. ‘Loans’ are Manufactured Credit

The second secret of banking is mortgage ‘loans’ are manufactured credit.

Ergo, retail banks don’t loan out other peoples’ savings. The credit is borrowed into existence when the ‘loan’ contract is signed. Banks are credit manufacturers.

Meanwhile, depositors savings are invested in government securities, corporate bonds and the share markets; the profits of these activities fund the banks’ operations.

With this sly credit creation, banks act as a racketeering cartel, profiting off interest charged for ‘borrowing’ despite fraudulently marketing the conjured funds as ‘loans’.

The scarcity of debt-free cash that compels families and businesses and governments to ‘borrow’ the bankers’ manufactured credit to build homes, enterprises or hospitals, respectively, and to compete for scarce cash to ‘repay’ the privately conjured credit.

In other words, the private banking cartel dominates the government’s economic policy framework, to maintain a debt-based monetary architecture that requires maintaining an artificial scarcity over a key resource, cash, in order to coerce households, enterprises and public governance institutions to ‘borrow’ credit.

The deposits that ‘borrowers’ pledge to qualify for a loan are actually what ‘finances’ the credit conjured with computer key-strokes and accounting entries by bankers.

Since the bank is simply conjuring credit, the purpose of the ‘loan deposit’ is to supply the cash funds to actually finance the credit creation. Prospective home-buyers are led to believe they need to stump up the ‘loan deposit’ to make a solid commitment to ‘pay back the loan’, otherwise the bank is taking all the risk by ‘lending’ other savers’ deposits. With this sly sleight of hand, naïve monkey borrowers think it’s a fair deal.

Since the commitment to ‘repay the loan’ is in the ‘loan’ contract, which states that forfeiture of the house will occur if the ‘borrower’ defaults on the loan’, then the commitment is in signing the contract and being on the hook to payback the principal (total sum of the ‘loan’). As the years clock up, the borrower sinks more money into the making the principal and interests payments, unaware the credit was conjured.

When new ‘loans’ are made, the manufactured credit funds are deposited into the cheque accounts of ‘borrowers’. Property sales create a chain reaction to grow credit.

Each time the proceeds from the sale of property are re-deposited, the banks have new funds that add to the deposit base to make new ‘loans’. In this way, the bank holds bank a fraction of the newly deposited as a ‘reserve’ with ‘one hand’, while with the other hand, the banker uses this ‘cash’ to expand the credit supply by a magnitude, thereby creating an ever-expanding credit bubble that will pop one day, causing tears.

Banks need only hold reserves that equate to a fraction of the actual deposit claims on their books in a fractional reserve banking system. This system creates financial bubbles.

Therefore, the term ‘borrowing’ is a euphemism for the ‘privilege’ to receive purchasing power in the present due to a structural alliance among banks, credit rating agencies and financial authorities to maintain the debt-based financial system.

New Zealand’s monetary system is characterized by interest-bearing credit attached to abundant debt and by structural racketeering to maintain scarcity over debt-free cash in order to coerce households, enterprises and public entities to ‘loan’ currency.

Snoop-Takeaway: Bank ‘loans’ such as mortgages are manufactured credit funds, that are borrowed into existence when the ‘loan’ contracts are signed; banks racketeer as credit manufacturers.

3. Interest is an Extortionist Rent

The third secret of banking cartels is that interest is an extortionist fee.

The common understanding is that interest is charged according risk, and is the price of the borrowed money. This arrangement seems fair to brainwashed monkeys.

Interest is not ‘the price of money’, since no money that previously existed is lent.

Rather, interest represents an extortionist rent on the funds marketed as ‘loans’.

Indeed, as Mack Ott of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis pointed out in his article entitled, “Money, credit and velocity”, in May 1982, “Credit is not money, but the promise of future money to the lender in return for the current temporary use of purchasing power — goods or money — extended to the borrower”.

The competition among mortgage ‘borrowers’ is intensified, since the funds to cover the interest component are not created when the ‘loan’ principle is manufactured.

Because cash is kept scarce relative to credit, ‘borrowers’ with businesses raise prices to ‘repay loans’, often without any idea that the funds were created with key-strokes.

The nation’s economy increasingly becomes geared toward servicing private debt.

Due to its geographical isolation, New Zealand is a captive market for a cartelized industry with the power to conjure the currency and charge extortion fees for its use.

Snoop-Takeaway: A private credit network, or banking cartel, supplies interest-bearing currency, which is ‘borrowed’ into existence by the Crown that is indebted to the private bank cartel. 

4. Cartel Control of Currency Creation

The fourth secret is the private banking cartel controls the country’s currency supply.

New Zealand’s currency is primarily conjured through interest-bearing public and private debt issued by private banking institutions. The ‘economy’ is rigged by banks.

The Treasury’s Debt Management Office issues N.Z. Government Bonds to fund its expenditure. The yield, or the ‘interest’, is determined by primary dealers at auction, and not the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, as the public is brainwashed to believe.

The primary dealers, the commercial banks, buy the government bonds with newly created credit. While the Reserve Bank sets the Official Cash Rate (OCR) which is the wholesale price for buying New Zealand currency in the form of Treasury bonds, the Reserve Bank is actually responding to bond market yields set by the primary dealers.

Ergo, the private credit network as a banking cartel supplies interest-bearing currency that the Crown borrows into existence; these borrowings become ‘public debt’.

In this way, public money is a rental commodity, rather than a sovereign resource.

The commercial and retail banks set mortgage rates at a margin above the OCR. This margin, or spread, is set by primary dealers and the market power of the bank cartel. Consequently, households, businesses and clubs pay, say 4.5% interest, not the OCR, but OCR + the private bank margin, as Iain Parker explained in a piece, “The Finance Franchise: How the private banks hold New Zealand hostage by its money system”.

Each time the proceeds from the sale of property are re-deposited, the banks have new funds that add to the deposit base to make new ‘loans’. In a fractional reserve banking system, banks hold reserves as a fraction of the deposit claims on their books.

The commercial bank credit manufacturing is the single major source of currency expansion in New Zealand. This interest-bearing debt requires continuous credit issuance to remain solvent, even when real productive capacity cannot be sustained.

A credit-manufacturing racket conjures credit upon a base of Treasury-issued debt, as government bonds, which are IOUs to pay the loan principle and the ‘interest’ or the bond yield, to a foreign and domestic private banking cartel, or Mammon’s Monsters.

Ergo, credit manufacturing by banks is the single major source of currency expansion and the New Zealand Government ‘borrows’ the currency it should be issuing itself.

Snoop-Takeaway: The private credit network acts as a banking cartel supplying interest-bearing currency, that the Crown borrows into existence; these borrowings become ‘public debt’. 

5. Principal and Interest Drives Up Prices

The fifth secret is that currency expansion by credit creation drives inflation.

Credit creation drives up prices, or causes cost-side inflation to make products, transport materials, supply services, build infrastructure and mine resources.

The expansions in the money supply, devalues each unit of the currency.

Since banking cartels restrict the supply of cash, this means households, businesses and governments can never earn enough cash to finance their needs. By being compelled to ‘borrow’ funds into existence, households, businesses and governments are placed in a position to raise prices to cover the principle payments.

Moreover, the interest component isn’t created as part of the ‘loan’, society is forced to compete to earn the scarce cash to meet the ‘interest’ payments component. Across an economy, the hustle to make a profit fuels the pressure of traders to increase prices.

‘Borrowers’ are compelled to stump up a deposit, which finances the conjured credit.

Therefore, since each generation are cast as ‘borrowers’, they are compelled to sell their homes and businesses at ever higher values just to break-even, because of the ‘rent’, euphemistically called ‘interest’ that the banks charge for the privilege of using their fraudulently manufactured credit, as English economist Michael Rowbotham stated in his book, The Grip of Death: A Study of Modern Money, Debt Slavery and Destructive Economics. And most of the ‘loan’ principle, since this component was money they didn’t have due to the bankers maintaining an enslavement system of structural cash scarcity, and fluctuating cycles of credit creation in cahoots with the financial authorities. New Zealanders’ work in servitude to the Monsters of Mammon.

Manufactured credit and the interest act in unison as twin drivers to push up property prices over time, since banks as a cartel to maintain cash scarcity, compelling each generation of ‘borrowers’ to sell properties at ever higher values just to break even.

Snoop-Takeaway: Currency expansion by credit creation fuels inflation since ‘borrowing’ drives the hustle to make a profit, especially since the ‘loans’ don't advance the interest component.

6. Bank Cartels Maintain Structural Unemployment

The sixth secret is bankers control the level of employment through interest rates.

The commercial banks and the Reserve Bank collaborate to adjust interest rates to control the level of (un)employment, at Treasury bond auctions and setting the OCR.

The Official Cash Rate (OCR) is used as an inflation-targetting tool. This wholesale yield, or the ‘interest’ on the bonds, is determined by the primary dealers at auction.

Inflation-targetting works to keep quarterly price increases in a 0% to 3% inflation rate band. This regime maintains a low cost of credit for the cartels, as far as possible.

Wages and salaries are seen as a ‘cost-push factor’ on inflation. Rises in paypackets across the economy leads to higher consumer demand, which also drives up prices.

As such, the quarterly inflation figures — primarily the Consumer Price Index (CPI) — are used as a proxy measure for the dampening or bouyancy of economic activity.

By setting the Treasury bond yields rate, the commercial banks cue the Reserve Bank about the desired base points band to raise or lower the currency’s wholesale ‘price’.

The banks add their margin on top of the OCR, the currency’s wholesale ‘price’.

High interest rates means less applicants will qualify for loans, which causes economic activity to shrink, that in turn causes more unemployment. Worker pay bargaining power is weakened and a downward pressure on wages and salaries occurs.

Therefore, higher interest rates drives down cost-side inflation as more public projects, enterprises and employment are scuttled. Everyone hurts, except the rich.

But, with the Reserve Bank’s charade adjusting the currency’s wholesale ‘price’ to target inflation since 1989, the decades of relatively cheap credit has fuelled asset inflation. The wholesale price adjustment is set by the quantity of government debt bought by Registered Tender Counterparties (RTCs at the Treasury Bond Auction). With this cartel collaboration between the Reserve Bank, Treasury, the State Services Commission, the banks, and institutional investment firms — the wealth gap grew.

Conversely, supplying credit at low interest rates boosts economic activity because more councils, enterprises or households will qualify for ‘loans’, which causes an expansion in economic activity, that in turn causes employment growth. Worker pay bargaining power is strengthened, causing an upward pressure on wages and salaries.

Therefore, lower interest rates drives up cost-side inflation as more public projects, enterprises and employment are supported. This hurts the profit of big businesses.

This hidden policy of maintaining structural unemployment at between 4% to 6% of the workforce, is a form of structural violence that produces a coercive visible poverty.

In cahoots with the banking cartel, the New Zealand Crown has inflicted a hidden policy to maintain a low-wage and salary economy, termed: structural unemployment.

Ergo, by manipulating wholesale credit costs, the international and domestic banks operate as a price-fixing cartel to regulate economic growth, and to inflict ‘discretionary idleness’ through ‘strategic sabotage of industry’ — as it suits them.

Inflation targetting have been state policy for 37 years. Its cruel levers stealthily regulate the level of economic activity in the geographically isolated archipelago.

Snoop-Takeaway: The bank cartel collaborates with the Reserve Bank and Treasury to regulate the level of economic activity through interest rates at weekly bond auctions, which sets the OCR.

7. Austerity as a Whole of Society Debt Bondage Mechanism

The seventh secret of banking is societal debt bondage results from restricting cash.

New Zealand permanently rents its currency from private financial institutions.

Indeed, “public money as a rental commodity, rather than a sovereign resource”, casts the country into a state of financial enslavement under the rule of feudal bank lords.

By maintaining an artificial scarcity of cash and an abundance of privately manufactured credit, the cartelized banking industry creates a coercive structural force to compel households, enterprises and governments to go into debt. This hidden debt bondage game creates a scarcity in property ownership over time, because the value of land increases as each generation takes on debt and interest — and sells up.

Moreover, property is periodically lost primarily during market collapses, which are structurally engineered events, since banking is a universally cartelized racket.

The debt-based currency is ‘borrowed into existence’ with the manufactured credit ‘loaned’ by global commercial banking consortiums to the Treasury through purchases of the Government’s securities, and bonds from the central banks.

This means that every time the Treasury holds an auction to tender its bond and security IOUs to the primary dealers — the commercial banks — the Government is, in effect, posting New Zealanders as tax-indentured hostages by selling Treasury securities and bonds through the New Zealand Debt Management Office.

The currency’s wholesale ‘price’, that the Reserve Bank euphemistically calls the ‘Official Cash Rate’ represents the Bond Yield or the interest rate that the banking cartel charges the Treasury for the privilege of maintaining supply of credit.

A portion of income tax is extracted to service the interest on public loans conjured as credit by private banks, who are referred to as ‘bondholders’ owed a ‘coupon interest’. A Goods and Services Tax Act was also introduced, on 1 October 1986, by the Minister of Finance Roger Douglas, as a Monopoly rent of 10% on most inland transactions. This GST introduction just happened to thematically riff on the historical date, October 1st 1957, when a Committee appointed by the Minister of Finance, Jack Watts, dutifully recommended a currency switch from the imperial pound to a decimal dollar. On October 1st 2010, GST was raised to 15% from 12.5%, a level it had been at since July 1 1989, a date that riffed off the historical levying of export and import duties between Australia and New Zealand. The Customs Regulation Ordinance was approved by the Legislative Council came into effect on July 1 1841.

The central government, and regional, district and city councils all enforce tolls as taxes or rates, as fees and fines to finance public ‘loans’, including the ‘interest’ payments because they do not exercise the sovereign power to produce abundant debt-free cash to fund infrastructure, services and projects, like community food forests.

New Zealand local councils primarily have their debt and financial health assessed by international credit rating agencies like S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings, who are two of the ‘Big Three’ firms of the international credit rating cartel that includes Moody’s. The primary financing vehicle for local government in New Zealand occurs through the New Zealand Local Government Funding Agency (LGFA) established in 2011). The top three institutional owners of S&P Global Ratings are The Vanguard Group, Inc. BlackRock, Inc. and State Street Global Advisors, Inc.; while Fitch Ratings is privately held as a subsidiary under Fitch Group, which is 100% owned by the Hearst Family Trust; and the top three institutional owners of Moody’s Corporation are Berkshire Hathaway, Vanguard Group, and BlackRock, headed by Larry Fink.

Treasury imposes austerity, which are a set of economic ‘fiscal’ policies, usually consisting of tax increases and public spending cuts, to reduce budget expenditure, as well as sales of a state’s assets to raise revenues, and public-private partnerships and outsourcing to cut spending. By achieving ‘market fundamentals’ — which is coded technocratic-speak for neoliberal economy policy measures favoring oligarchs — the cost of credit lines for the Big Business cartels is kept low, and is the job of lobbyists.

For example, on the watch of Reserve Bank Governor Don Brash (1988-2002) and Finance Minister Ruth Richardson, the wholesale interbank credit rate was used as a ‘ransom note’ to state managers to listen to ‘price signals’ — by getting their policies to reflect free market orthodoxy — during Bolger’s National Government’s first term.

On 30 July 1991, the ‘30 Day Bank Yields’ fell below 10% for the first time since 1974,* one day before Finance Minister Ruth Richardson performed her ‘Mother of All Budgets’ as a ‘hostage exchange ritual’ in Parliament. This ‘permanent’ penetration through the 10% threshold demonstrated ‘the market’ voted approval for deep cuts to welfare payments, the end of the state’s home-ownership support programmes, and the passage of the Employment Contracts Act, which was designed to drive down wages and therefore cost-side inflation, as Revolution: The New Country showed.

* See: NZ Reserve Bank Data Files — Wholesale Interest Rates - B2 Daily Close (1985-2017) and  (NZ Reserve Bank), and Interest Rates: 3-Month or 90-Day Rates and Yields: Bank Bills: Total for New Zealand (St. Louis Federal Reserve), and “Discretionary Idleness” (Snoopman, 19 Nov 2018).

Thus, on the 130^th Anniversary of Parliament passing an act to incorporate ‘The Bank of New Zealand’ (July 29^th 1861), the wholesale interest rate was kept above 10% pa. In other words, during New Zealand’s second revolution, the banking fraternity riffed off their Colonial Era forebears, who established the Bank of New Zealand to bankroll the consolidation of the nation, by becoming the Colonial Government’s banker during the New Zealand Masonic Revolutionary War of 1860-1872. By the mid-1860s, the BNZ’s owners, dubbed the ‘Limited Circle’, received a steady 10% dividend, since the ‘Kingites’ who were framed as being in rebellion, had been successfully defeated in the Waikato War of 1863-64, as any newroom possessing a copy of New Zealand Banker’s Hundred: A History of the Bank of New Zealand 1861 — 1961 would know.

Ergo, with the defeat of the rebellious unions, the Neo-Feudal Sect rewarded the well-healed with access to relatively cheap credit with which to inflate the housing market.

The limitation of scarce cash works hand-in-glove with the Crown’s hidden structural unemployment policy to maintain a low-wage and salary economy — to keep inflation low. In turn, income taxes services the interest payments to banks accrued by public debt issued at the bond market auctions held on Thursday afternoons by the Treasury.

With the Cabinet’s theatrical approval, Treasury imposes austerity measures to keep the cost of credit lines for the Big Business cartels low, in accordance with the aims of lobbyists, advisors and consultants who are part of the wealth defense industry that work for the client oligarchy, who are submissive the American Empire. By taxing the income of workers, cutting government spending and by privatizing tax-funded infrastructure as well as state or council-owned commercial trading enterprises, and transforming tax-funded public services into public-private services, such economic fiscal policies serve the client oligarchy and their transnational counterparts.

As such, austerities work hand-in-glove with the artificial scarcity of cash as coercive structural forces to compel households, enterprises and the government to go into debt. Without the Roman taxes, the debt enslavement monetary system of private credit funding public debt, would collapse. Ergo, the New Zealand Crown, like all governments, do not exercise the sovereign power to mint debt-free cash as currency or, sovereign money, in sufficient quantity to support the geographically isolated archipelago to re-organize itself to become to be a model dynamic civilization.

By maintaining an artificial scarcity of cash and an abundance of privately manufactured credit, the cartelized banking industry creates a coercive structural force to compel households, enterprises and governments to go into debt.

The hustle propelled by interest-bearing credit creation works as a structural force that drives up prices, inflates asset bubbles and causes busts — all of which fuels pressures for austerity policies, such as taxes, budget cuts, and privatizations.

Snoop-Takeaway: Societal financial enslavement results from restricting cash as a resource, in order to compel households, enterprises and governments to go into debt to private banks. 

8. Immigration Supplies a Loan Market with Customers and Drives Down Labour Costs

The eighth banking secret is that immigration is a tool to keep wages and salaries low, while feeding the bank cartel with new mortgages, business loans and overdrafts.

Migrating monkeys need housing, which generates demand for jobs to pay rent or mortgages, as well as savings for a deposit on a house, or for capital to start a business.

Immigrants can be exploited as a vulnerable cohort for low wage employment, even if they are skilled, because the Government has exerted a superiority complex about recognizing qualifications from non-Western countries. Physicians become uberized drivers before they requalify, while wealth fast-tracks residency and citizenship. Thus, time is weaponized on a migration fulcrum, which tips in the favour of the wealthy.

Moreover, immigrants are used as a structural force to reduce incomes across the Western countries, which acts as a mechanism to drive down the global price of labour, working in tandem with out-sourcing manufacturing to ‘emerging economies’.

Over time, the Government has improved its settings for skilled migrants. And so, New Zealand has become a multi-cultural society with localised diasporas.

Since WWII, various government administrations have lured migrants for work to fuel economic growth. This policy works with a twin trick. On the one hand, immigrants are enticed to the geographically-isolated archipelago with its reputation for being a corruption-free peaceful place, and an affordable developed economy. Increasingly, they’re driven from war-torn places stoked by the American Empire, whose military backs the Federal Reserves’ Petro-Dollar currency. Or, by the economic warfare imposed by the IMF’s structural adjustments to corporatize and privatize a targeted state’s infrastructure, state commercial trading entities, and public services. Or, by being displaced by World Bank-funded development projects to benefit transnationals.

On the other hand, as ‘Kiwis’, we’re constantly exposed to the impacts of a ‘Goldilocks’ Joker Card, where the N.Z. Monopoly Economy runs either ‘too hot’, ‘too cold’ and rarely runs ‘just right’. There are either not enough jobs, and even if there is enough employment, New Zealand is still an expensive place to live. House price inflation is excluded from the Consumer Price Index. So, the costs of mortgages and rents are not counted in the headline-making quarterly household reports measuring inflation.

From the bank cartel’s perspective, including housing as a household cost in the Consumer Price Index would create a distortion, because a rising housing market creates a favourable type of inflation for investment class portfolios: asset inflation.

Because most New Zealand Monkeys don’t comprehend the connection between the Reserve Bank’s noises about adjusting the Official Cash Rate (OCR) and inflation-targetting between the 0% to 3% band, there is widespread ignorance about how regulating the wholesale ‘price’ of the currency impacts economic activity. Raising the OCR works as a mechanism to reduce consumer spending, and to make more businesses fail, and to scuttle employment, while lowering the OCR works as a lever to increase consumer spending, to make businesses grow, and to boost employment.

By encouraging increased economic activity, the bank cartel lures the New Zealand Monkey to invest their capital, or ‘borrow’ credit so that more monkeys will be wiped-out once the banking cartel moves their price-fixing fingers to press the ‘Stop’ button.

The New Zealand Monkey would find it galling to learn of a private dinner in December 1986 where the Lange Government’s Finance Minister, Roger Douglas, boasted about the point of the so-called ‘free market reforms’. They were inflicted in a blitzkreig strategy to overwhelm resistance by targetting all sectors of the economy with austerities (except banking). Douglas said there would be a top strata of wealthy and in 25 years most New Zealanders wouldn’t be able to afford to live in NZ.**

** [Finance Minister Roger Douglas anecdote: Confidential source in private conversation with three witnesses. In the 1996 documentary series, Revolution, Douglas said he had hoped the Labour Government would be in power for 15 years].

Ergo, the nation was group-processed to ‘up sticks’. However, Māori Monkeys became litigious in the High Court about state-asset sales, which stalled the privatization programme. This predicament forced the Crown to design a cunning Treaty Settlements scheme that would corporatize Māori Monkeys and create a class structure among Māori, while sowing division among Pākeha New Zealand Monkeys, to harbour resentment about tax-funded settlements; yet the Monarchy reigns on.

And so, with this set-back and resistance, the Feudal Ruling Monkeys turned up the immigration spigots, to not only drive economic growth while maintaining a rate of unemployment at an average of 6% of the workforce from 1983 to 2014. But also, to change the voting demographics over time, through the importation of Immigrant Monkeys with no roots to New Zealand, to reduce the threat of indigenous intransigence.

The Productivity Commission claims immigration policies aren’t driving down wages or replacing local workers, by saying over the decade to 2022, that the wages rose and the unemployment rate was falling. However, the raising of the minimum wage was due to a resurgence in union power agigating political parties, while the fall in unemployment figures was due to N.Z. adopting the OECD’s deceptive measure that counts employment as low as just one hour a week, in household surveys since 2014.

As of 2023, the country’s 1.4 million immigrants accounted for 29 percent of the New Zealand’s 5 million people. Approximately one million New Zealand citizens lived outside the country as of 2022, which constitutes the equivalent of 20 percent of the 5 million population. However, since the beginning of 2022, over 230,000 New Zealanders have left the country seeking work, better pay, and affordable housing.

The manipulation of these structural forces were part of a broader blueprint called the ‘1980s Project’, to reforge the world economy into a global super-economy with the United States at the center. The ‘1980s Project’ was workshopped throughout the 1970s at the Council on Foreign Relations in Gotham — on David Rockefeller’s watch.

The combination of using immigration to keep wages and salaries low, works hand-in-glove with the restriction over the supply of debt-free cash and the use of inflation targetting to regulate the level of economic activity to limit financial independence.

Snoop-Takeaway: Immigration is a tool to keep wages and salaries low, while feeding the bank cartel with a new source of mortgages, business loans and overdrafts to fuel profit growth.

9. The Racketeering Costume Change: From Bail-outs to Bail-ins

The nineth secret of banking is that bail-outs have been quietly replaced with bail-ins.

In the 2010s, various jurisdictions throughout the American Empire quietly put in place this bail-in regimes. In the next financial crash, a portion of deposits will be confiscated overnight to save troubled banks (and other financial institutions).

Under a bail-ins scheme, the savings of the monkeys will be converted into stocks, by whatever fraction is deemed ‘necessary’, even though the share prices of embattled financial institutions will likely be plummeting on news of such interventions.

This bail-ins regime was quietly implemented a blandly called Open Bank Resolution Policy (OBR). It has been designed to recapialize troubled financial intitutions with creditors such as shareholders, as well as depositors who have savings with banks. While shareholders might not know about bail-ins, at least they know the stocks they hold carry a risk. Yet, ordinary shareholders have zero say in the running of big firms.

And, while everone knows that if a bank goes go belly-up, depositors can lose ther savings, most depositors across the Western world have no idea that a bail-ins regime even exists, because there’s a quiet agreement to not emphasize the bail-ins mechanism. Indeed, the bail-ins regime was designed in a parallel universe inhabited by financial policymakers, and discussed in papers published by financial authorities, think-tanks and specialist academic journals, while the public largely remains unware.

The neat-trick about this lack of public awareness, is that the bail-ins regime was designed after the huge backlash to tax-payer funded bail-outs, and while the systemic rigging of every financial market was laid bare with U.S. Department of Justice cases. So, the stealthy deployment of a bail-in regime is intended to manage a controlled collapse, since the bursting of the massive derivatives and debt bubbles is inevitable. For their part, derivatives can drive up asset values because they expand the pools of investors and speculators, who seek returns off slices of assets they don’t even own. They are also a linchpin and can be wielded as financial weapons of mass destruction, since they are traded privately and can be used as mechanisms for coordinated attacks.

The nations that led this quiet regime change were Canada, the United States and its fraternal twin, the United Kingdom, along with Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Cyprus and the world’s most famous financial-secrecy haven state, Switzerland. The rest of the fragile European Union established bail-in regimes by the end of 2016.

This accelerated architecture behind today’s banks-first, investors-last system started in parallel to the US Dollar being taken off the Gold Standard, when President Nixon ceremoniously interrupted a Sunday night broadcast of Bonanza on August 15 1971. Wall Street’s biggest players rewrote the rules of asset ownership so that nearly all U.S. securities are legally owned by a single, centralized financial entity controlling $100 trillion, while investors are left with only a weak contractual claim. In a major financial crisis, investors’ assets can be frozen and seized to absorb losses at failing firms — as Justin Haskins says in, The Next Big Crash: Conspiracy, Collapse, and the Men Behind History’s Biggest Heist. He warns that the next financial crisis could expose the hidden risks behind stocks, 401(k)s, and retirement accounts of Americans.

Therefore, where bail-outs around the world ritually lumped taxpayer monkeys with massive tax bills when they were added to their country’s national debt to ‘save’ the global banking and financial cartels from bankruptcy, the bail-ins regime lumps regular saver and investor monkeys with the financial burden of rescuing banking and other financial institutions for their wreckless or criminally collusive decisions.

Savers’ deposits will be used to recapitalize distressed banks and financial institutions.

Snoop-Takeaway: Bail-outs have been stealthily replaced with a bail-ins regime called Open Bank Resolution, enabling savers’ deposits to be used to recapitalize distressed banks.

10. All Wars are Bankers Wars

Banking’s tenth secret of is all wars are bankers’ wars, as Michael Rivero outlined.

For example, when the Bank of England was established in 1694, as the world’s first national central bank, it’s immediate mission was to finance England’s ongoing war against France (known as the Nine Year’s War). The Bank of England was established with an 11-year charter as a joint-stock company and raised £1.2 million, and was essentially a public-private partnership, since the associated legislation levied taxes on trade. Parliament repeatedly renewed and extended the charter because the imperial government continuously needed to finance military campaigns for its expansionist empire. This public-private partnership was profitable for the bank’s stock-holders.

The creation of the Bank of England, along with establishing a stock-market and shifting control of state finances from the Crown to the Parliament, afforded innovations in the administration of capital, taxation and expenditure. Combined with the isles’ geographical advantage, Britain gained the edge over other European Cannon Powers to fund its empire with far-flung colonies inhabited with ‘natives’.

Iain Parker makes the link between oligarchs, including bankers, and their imperialist ambitions to fund wars, on his Substack, NZ Global Economics Context, in a post entitled, “The Deceptive Architecture of Transatlantic Private Credit Imperialism”:

“As historians of imperial political economy have shown, the line separating commercial finance from imperial strategy was often thin. Credit frequently preceded territorial control”.

Indeed, in Colonial New Zealand, after the ‘First Taranaki War’ (1860-1) ended in a truce, the Bank of New Zealand brokered finance of £3 million from the London and Sydney money markets to fund the ‘New Zealand Wars’. This Masonic Revolutionary War consolidated the take-over of New Zealand to establish a British Masonic Colony.

The so-called ‘New Zealand Land Wars’ were said to be triggered by the refusal of Māori to sell land. This was a projection of blame by the plotters. The sinister truth is that development money was withheld from the colony until the conquest stage was nearly complete. Moreover, the development money was not to be debt-free cash.

Furthermore, the violence of state-formation was managed by a co-governance arrangement between British Freemasons and their counterparts in N.Z., who operated a parallel power structure and were a revolutionary organization that plotted the subversion of the Māori tribal economy. Because the colonists’ ruling class refused to co-develop with ‘the natives’, and would not merge with the existing communal barter economy, and instead coveted the ‘waste lands’, the colonists could not compete without development money. A new bank was required to escalate hostilities.

New Zealand’s debt-based monetary system was consolidated during the New Zealand Masonic Revolutionary War (1860-72). The Bank of New Zealand was established by legislation in 1861, to take over the role of the Colonial Bank, and quickly became the financier of the Colonial Government’s expansionist ‘Land Wars’ for the colonists.

The Colonial Government’s overdraft was also bankrolled by the Bank of New Zealand, while the Māori Wars was waged in the Waikato, the Bay of Plenty, Taranaki and Whanganui. Freemason Governor Bro. George Grey, a Sandhurst Military College graduate, was recalled to the Colony to lead the consolidation stage as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, while his Chief Native Lands Purchaser, Freemason Bro. Donald McLean, organized militias, including the Armed Constabulary (that were New Zealand’s first police force, and they were modelled on Irish Constabulary).

And, Freemason Bro. Frederick Whitaker, who ran a law firm Whitaker & Russell, with Thomas Russell, the primary founder of the Bank of New Zealand, drafted three pivotal laws to facilitate the consolidation of the Masonic Revolution. These were: the Suppression of Rebellion Act of 1863, to cast Māori as criminals opposing Queen Victoria; the New Zealand Settlement Act, which legalized the establishment of military towns on land belonging to ‘rebellious’ tribes; and the New Zealand Loan Act, that authorized ‘borrowing’ three million pounds of engraved, land confiscation-backed bonds for a mass grave-consigning conflict named, ‘the Maori Wars’.

At the time of the Waikato War of 1863-64, Bro. Whitaker was both the Premiere and Attorney-General, while the BNZ’s primary founder, Mr Russell, a Methodist lay-preacher, was also the Colonial Defence Minister; he was distributing the war funds.

In the Colonial Era, British banking was dominated by the Rothschilds Dynasty, while the Bank of England was a privately-owned central bank. There were two layers to the British Empire. The surface layer was Christian with missionaries, and its underbelly was masonic, with a network of Zionist-indoctrinated Freemasons wielding power.

Vast swathes of land were confiscated in Māori territories where Masonic Colonial, Imperial and Constabulary forces made war and pursued a scorched earth policy.

A credit-fuelled rural land price boom occurred in the 1870s, which subsequently collapsed in the 1880s, and led to a bail-out of the Bank of New Zealand in 1895.

The colony was consolidated into districts and provinces under Masonic control.

Ergo, credit manufacturing, as a key mechanism of social control, has historic roots.

Debt finances war booms; it is a structural feature of capitalism-fuelled imperialism, because it abstracts the costs of the fighting, the destruction and the rebuilds into the future as taxes levied on populations, while the profiteering pirates enjoy impunity, tax shelters and vanity paintings for adding to the legacy of a war traumatized species.

Snoop-Takeaway: As an instrument of imperial expansion, capitalism requires conquests when the economic hitmen fail to swindle, bribe or bully the local chiefs to agree to onerous deals.

11. Digital Currencies to Deepen Social Control

Banking’s eleventh secret is that the bankster cartels are implementing systems to take algorithmically-programmed digitial currencies live, to deepen the social control.

These digital currencies take two broad forms: Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), issued by state-owned or joint-stock reserve banks; and Stable Coins, which are as a class of cryptocurrency pegged to a reserve asset are tokenized debt.

Expert critics of the Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) system warn that intrinsic to their design, is programmable money. Where presently, cash makes anonymous transacting possible, and digital transactions are tracked by commercial banks, credit card companies or cooperative banks — a CBDC currency confers the capacity for the central banks or ‘partners’ to collect the meta-data of every transaction.

Therefore, central banks will gain the power to mediate what is permissible for individuals as classes of ‘consuming’ humans to purchase, and when and why.

Stablecoins are a class of cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value by pegging themselves to a reserve asset, most commonly fiat currencies like the U.S. Dollar (USD), or commodities like gold. Unlike volatile cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, stablecoins aim to offer price stability while retaining the benefits of blockchain technology — namely, speed, 24/7 availability, and lower transaction costs. In the U.S., stable coins are required to maintain a 1:1 ratio of bank reserves in U.S. Treasuries or cash desposits. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency regulates banks and financial institutions transacting in stablecoins.

Since stablecoins are crypto-currencies on a blockchain, such cyber-currencies can track every transaction. With the roll-out 5G telecommunications systems, such transactions will be made via cellular phones, and can be fused as carbon currencies. These blockchain cyber-currency systems make it possible to trace the specific units of products to their origin, destination and destruction. This tracking, tracing and tabulating is possible with the fusion of Universal Product Codes (UPC), Internet of Things (IOT), and bio-digital ID cards to tether humans to a digital panopticon.

The digital currency schemes involve a total surveillance down into the digital wallets distributed via commercial or retail banks, and the credit, tokens or vouchers allocated or earned by humans tracked via the fusion of a universal digital ID system.

This means the algorithms can be programmed into the digital wallets, or tokens, to instill compliance in mass populations, to limit consumption, travel and association.

The capacity to gauge emotions with facial recognition software and to tether this data for social credit scoring and for worthiness for carbon credit allocations, raises the spectre that such biometrics will be used for instilling behavioural modifications across populations. Especially, since surveillance cameras are so common that the full spectrum coverage outdoes the monitoring by 20th Century totalitarian regimes.

Critics of Digital IDs point out the real purpose is to gain control over entire populations, since the key feature is inter-operability across all institutions, all platforms, and all demographics — transnationally to construct a control grid.

Although the opt-in is technically voluntary, it relies on the proxy-coercion or the power of the population as workers, sales agents, and cheerleaders to gain adopters, compliance, and wear down resistance on multiple systems, sites, and scanners.

The global banking cartel scheme is to eliminate debt-free cash by restricting access to products, services and investments via the fusion of this universal digital ID system. And this CBDC’s scheme implies an expected integration of a global carbon credit and tax transactions system onto the central bank digital currencies platform.

Critics forsee the fusion of the United Nations Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, which includes a drive to impose net-zero carbon economic framework, with a social credit scoring system imposed on monkeys cast as citizens, consumers and contractors to modify their behaviours. Yet, the resources to build, power and cool the huge data warehouses required to track, tether, tax, toll, tithe, ticket and tributize everyone on the planet — will drive pressures for plunder, conflict and pollution.

Snoop-Takeaway: The architecture to take algorithmically-programmed digitial currency live is being stealthily planned, built and implemented across New Zealand to deepen the social control. 

12. Banks Inflict Financial Crises

The twelfth secret is that banks inflict financial crises to politically capture nations.

The gaming of New Zealand occurred on Robert Muldoon’s watch as Prime Minister (1975-1984), when large industrial development ‘loans’, liberalizing regulatory controls over the share market, and legislating voluntary union membership happened.

Conspicuously, everything was frozen except the share-market, which boomed.

In mid-1984, New Zealand was subjected to a financial-bureaucratic-political coup.

Muldoon refused to authorize a currency devaluation that incoming Labour Party Finance Minister, Roger Douglas, had quietly promised to the ‘business community’.

Currency speculators had bet on a currency devaluation and stood to loose if Muldoon refused to budge. Evidently, the situation ‘caused’ a Constitutional Crisis. The Reserve Bank closed the foreign exchange floor on Monday 16 July, which was precisely 888 weeks since Muldoon had overseen NZ’s currency change-over from the imperial pound to the decimal dollar, on 10 July 1967, on his first watch as Under-Secretary of Finance. The bankers dined at Le Normandie Restaurant, signalling they had pulled off a financial coup d’état to commence their ‘silent revolution’, which had been telegraphed by the chosen date of polling day, July 14. Even the press called it the ‘Bastille Election’. The Storming of the Bastille in Paris in 1789 was an important date in the French Revolution. On July 14, 1789, a violent uprising that helped usher in the French Revolution occurred at Bastille, which was a military fortress and prison.

Four days out from the election, on 10 July 1984, the ‘captains of industry’ signalled a ‘sea-change’ by hosting a lunch for Labour Party leader, David Lange, whose party had no electoral mandate to implement a planned economic warfare programme designed to create a crisis-ridden society. Lange had been invited by Hugh Fletcher of Fletcher Challenge Corporation, Colin Reynolds of Chase Corporation, and Michael Fay of the merchant bank, Fay Richwhite, to speak to 70 ‘captains of industry’, as author Stevan Eldred-Grigg recounted in his 1996 book, The Rich: A New Zealand History. Eldred Grigg observed that billions of dollars in ‘smart money’ were made by currency speculators betting on an inside track of knowledge that the New Zealand dollar would soon be devalued (once Lange’s right-wing inner Cabinet were catapulted to power). The currency speculators sold New Zealand dollars at a time when the New Zealand currency was deemed to be over-valued and would buy back NZ dollars later, at a cheaper rate. The currency crisis was engineered as a coercive mechanism to create a spectacle to justify a government by emergency atmosphere for the pre-planned economic reforms. In effect, the currency speculators were posting ransom notes to the incoming Lange Cabinet. N.Z.’s financial authorities could have revealed data from the Nostro accounts; a Wellington-based cheque clearing-house for currency trades.

In the four-part documentary series Revolution, Rod Deane — the Reserve Bank Deputy Governor — claimed the month-long speculative currency attack ‘forced’ the Reserve Bank and Treasury to borrow $1.7 billion to prop up the NZ dollar’s value.

In other words, the Reserve Bank and Treasury played along with the theater of the currency attack, buying the New Zealand dollar at a high price with the cover-story that they were trying to maintain its value. What are the odds, that the leader of the Labour Party, David Lange, would perform a speech to the captains of industry on July 10 1984, just four days out from polling day, amid an orchestrated currency attack?

After all, it was on July 10 1967, that the N.Z. currency switched from the imperial pound to the decimal dollar. Ergo, the luncheon with the captains of industry, that included merchant banker, Michael Fay — who would soon spearhead a challenge to the America’s Cup — signalled political sea change with a staged currency crisis.

This humiliating ‘down trou’ for Muldoon 888 weeks, after he publicly led the switch of NZ’s currency from easy convertibility with the imperial U.K. pound to the metric U.S. dollar, was packed with symbol sorcery, and was readily decipherable to the metaphor-attuned. In 1688, when the ‘Glorious Revolution’ deposed the Catholic King, James II, and a protestant monarch was propelled to occupy the throne at ‘Christmas’, 888 years after Charlemagne was crowned Holy Roman Emperor on 25 December 800 AD. The ‘King of the Franks’ had led a reign of terror against the pagans of Saxony to spread Christianity, the religion invented by the Roman Imperial Cult based on plagairized mythological elements spread as forgeries to create a phantom historical messianic character, Jesus Christ, to reforge the Roman Empire with unholy lies.

In the heretical Christian Gnostic tradition, the application of numerology to the Greek alphabet, the name ‘Jesus’ corresponds to eight hundred and eighty ­eight.

The staged currency crisis was inflicted during the election campaign to create the spectacle of an emergency, to justify implementing a series of planned economic reforms. The Bank of New Zealand speculated against the New Zealand currency.

The first of these reforms was a lifting of regulatory control over finance and banking, including floating the New Zealand currency, to enable high capital mobility, which would fuel asset-value inflation for investors who could access cheaper credit overseas. High interest rates were maintained amid a sharemarket boom, which facilitated corporate raiders to buy up enterprises. Meanwhile, tarriffs and industry subsidies were removed, which was designed to cause business failures, and spread the crisis so that all sectors would be overwhelmed simultaneously, to mitigate mounting a coherent resistance, as Finance Minister Roger Douglas bragged in 1989.

The corporate raiding of New Zealand’s state assets — which involved the rapid, broad-scope corporatization, privatization and cartelization of state-owned commercial trading enterprises, infrastructure, and public services — was a racketeering operation that worked in cahoots with foreign interests. A world debt crisis had emerged in 1982 after governments borrowed from the International Monetary Fund, as a consequence of two engineered oil price shocks in the 1970s.

The first oil price crisis was staged to re-invigorate the Federal Reserve banking cartel by setting a new world price for oil, to underwrite the Petro-Dollar system, while the second was engineered to forge an Arc of Crisis of Islamic Fundamentalism at Russia’s doorstep, to destabilize the Soviet Empire and bring about its collapse, as William F. Endgahl recounted in his book, A Century of War, published by Pluto Press.

The public sector reforms were also a way to scuttle employment at a time when unemployment was already over 250,000 — out of 3.3 million people. Large-scale visible poverty weakens workers’ wage and salary pay bargaining power, and delivers bigger profits for big businesses — as Alister Barry’s 2002 film, In a Land of Plenty: The Story of Unemployment in New Zealand revealed. No one voted to be jobless or bankrupt.

This scuttling of employment predictably lowered expectations about wage and salary increases, and consumer spending dropped causing the quarterly consumer inflation index to stabilize over time. The consumer price index is a proxy measure for worker pay bargaining power, and hides the link between inflation targets and interest rates.

This blitzkrieg corporate heist of the economy was in effect a strategic sabotage of industry; between 1987 and 1995, tens of thousands of New Zealanders lost their jobs.

However, aboriginal and indigenous Māori became a bulwark, challenging the sale of state assets. Not all of the blitzkrieg economic ‘reforms’ occurred, partly because Lange balked at Douglas wanting to privatize roads, hospitals and schools.

Predictably, the deregulation, corporatization and privatization of N.Z.’s public sector commercial trading enterprises, industrial infrastructure and public services stirred a tension between the investors, management, workers and citizens. This disregulation extended into the private sector, amid frequent restructuring of the state authorities.

Ironically, the Bank of New Zealand was rescued twice to the tune of about $1,300 million, with two government orchestrated ‘capital raisings’ in 1989 and 1990.

The BNZ’s financial distress came as a consequence of its credit manufacturing exposure to the property markets in New Zealand and Australia that slumped following the 1987 Sharemarket Crash. In the second bail-out, merchant bankers Fay Richwhite paid $100 million for a 30% stake. The Bolger Government resisted public pressure for an inquiry, and sold the BNZ to NAB in 1992, and with this privatisation the National Government reversed the Colonial Government’s nationalisation of 1895.

This trans-corporate heist of the New Zealand economy resumed at pace during the Key Ministry and continues onward un-abaited as a ‘quiet transfer’. New Zealand now resembles a Monopoly game, but with an additional outer external circuit occupied by transnational banks, capital management firms, and mutual funds such as CitiBank, JP Morgan Chase, HSBC, UBS, BNP Paribas, Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street.

Every industry is cartelized, and they are dominated by players maintaining market monopolies, and tethered with foreign ownership ties, credit lines, and linkages to transnational-affiliated policy dissemination think-tanks, while regulators play dumb.

For example, Fletcher Building appears to be New Zealand-owned to local eyes, due to the company brands it owns. These are: Winstone Wallboards, that produces the GIB which enjoys cosy compliance arrangements with councils throughout the toll-booth neo-feudal plantation economy. Fletchers also owns the building supply franchise, Placemakers, Golden Bay cement, Firth concrete, pipes supplier Humes, quarry firm Winstone Aggregates, civil engineering firm Brian Perry, Easysteel, Strammit steel, Fletcher Reinforcing, Altus aluminium, Dimond and Pacific Coilcoaters roofing.

However, Fletcher Building is 65% owned by four global banks (HSBC, 25%; Citicorp, 19.05%; JP Morgan, 13.91%; BNP Paribas, 7.65%), showing its leverage to draw on manufactured credit, since these banks are shareholders in the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Ergo, the trans-corporate take-over of New Zealand corresponds with the ongoing forging of the global super-economy, amid rupturing tectonic geopolitical shifts.

Across the world, the western banking cartel repeatedly inflicted 395 banking, currency and sovereign debt crises between 1970 and 2007. The strategy of Western capitalists was inflicted to construct the conditions amenable to financial volatility and use the ensuing financial crises as a mechanism to gain more control over the world’s governments and their respective citizenries. In 1970s, they opted to tether this economic warfare strategy, to developments in finance, shifts in the capitalist system and innovations in computing. To this end, Western capitalists greenlighted what Snoopman calls the Three CC’s — Credit Conjuring, Cartel Collusion, and Chip Construction — in order to reinvigorate the American Empire and to forge techno-feudalism, with the view to securing the permanent enslavement of humanity.

This strategy culminated in the construction of transnational cartels across every industry of the American Empire, or ‘the West’. Their debt-based capital raising, whether through loans, corporate bonds and share issuances creates a structural imperative for growth in profits to make loan repayments, to pay bond yields and to make dividend allocations. In turn, growth as a structural force compels cartels to parlay with aggressive strategies, plans and tactics. Consequently, incessant growth sets the conditions for driving plunder, war and poverty, and all kinds of enslavement.

Snoop-Takeaway: Banks inflict financial crises to strategically sabotage industries, politically capture nations and compromise administrations, to benefit a client oligarchy and their allies. 

13. The Banking Cartel is Core Componentary of New Zealand’s Cryptocratic Dark State

The thirteenth secret of New Zealand banking is that the industry is captured by a cryptocracy that rules the realm, and every significant institution— from the shadows.

The secret elite criminal network that orchestrated the currency crisis in mid-1984 to create an atmosphere conducive to governance by emergency to carry out the pre-planned transcorporate heist of the economy in the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s — are still staging crises, managing the optics, and serving up their solutions. The requisite commissioned inquiries, reviews and studies, as well as court cases, are part of the cover-ups. The cryptocracy’s chess moves are played with spooky precision-timing to riff off historical events, so that the news-making theater simultaneously performs as cryptic signals intelligence, boasts its ritualized spectacular power, and functions to maintain discipline among a network that includes ‘soldiers’ who make events happen.

The cryptic ‘fingerprints’ of the secret elite is detectable in the meta-data of dates.

New Zealand’s issues, scandals and crises are thematically encoded with historical riffs to signal authorship, unity, scapegoats and caution — while telegraphing hidden aims — in plain sight. This pattern of metaphor-laden historical riffing reveals a ‘matrix code’ used by cryptocratic network to signal their chess-moves to one another.

In music, a riff is a concise musical phrase that is played multiple times to create a recognizable theme within the song. They provide a foundation and structure to the music, often appearing at the beginning of a song or at the start of a chorus. Where a hook is also a catchy musical idea, and usually only appears once or a few times for greater impact, a riff is repeated as a motif or figure in the melody or accompaniment of a musical composition. So, a syndicates’ encoded chess moves perform as motifs to reveal a narrative arc, while conveying psychopathic humour consistent with a theme.

This cryptic coding system works as ‘signals intelligence’ to communicate individual, institutional and ideological capture, cooperation and conviction to advance a coordinated rupture with the past by theming events to riff off N.Z.’s history. This way, the syndicates’ expected chess moves can be tracked, and defections detected swiftly.

In the case of the Commerce Commission’s retail banking market report (20 August 2024), the key dates from start to finish were timed to stealthily signal the status quo.

Let Snoopman lay out the thematically-encoded history riffs in this “Project Timeline”.

On June 19 2023, Dr Duncan Webb, the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, transmitted his request to the New Zealand Gazette for the Commerce Commission to conduct the market study into personal banking services. The Minister stated the study could include the structure of the industry and its competitive nature, which meant the request wasn’t limited to personal banking. And, the Commission could also focus any additional matters not listed. These additional matters could have included showing how the ‘Big Four’ buy government securities and that without this ‘commercial banking’ activity, a debt enslavement system with privately manufactured bank credit funding public debt — would not be possible. And therefore, the retail banking sector wouldn’t be able to charge interest, as an evil extortionist rent, on ‘borrowed money’, for such things as home ‘loans’, which collaterize property titles.

Given the Commerce Minister’s gazette letter was dated June 19 2023, what are the odds that it was on June 19 1861, when the New Zealand Bank Bill was introduced into the House Representatives? This bank bill endorsed the establishment of the Bank of New Zealand, which was founded on July 2 1961, to be the primary private banking mechanism to profit from brokering private debt to finance the escalation of the New Zealand Wars. After all, a closing off of ‘the commons’ is an essential pre-requisite to establishing capitalism, which is an imperial instrument of expansion utilizing private credit as the dominant source of currency in cahoots with the state.

And, on June 19th 1847, the Auckland Savings Bank received its first deposit.

Ergo, the Minister’s gazette letter telegraphed that the Commission’s stewardship over the ‘market study’ wouldn’t rock the foundations of the banking industry.

On 20 June 2023, the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs had the terms of reference for the Commission’s market study into retail banking published in the New Zealand Gazette. The market review was set with a deadline for August 20 2024.

On 20 June 1866, the arrest of the gold thieves Richard Burgess, Thomas Kelly and Joseph Sullivan for the ‘Maungatapa Murders’ took place. (Philip Levy was arrested the previous day). The four-man ‘Burgess Gang’ (also known as the ‘Kelly Gang’) were subsequently hung at Nelson for the murders of four men while en route to the West Coast goldfields. The four men had arrived in New Zealand via the goldfields of Victoria, Australia. Ergo, gold rush and villainy metaphors signified rewards and perils for the modern-day ‘gold thieves’, especially for the ‘Big Four Ozzie Banks’.

The following day, June 21, the Commission announced the study had “opened”. This news was spread through Corporate New Zealand, and their Media Monarchy shills.

The banks claimed the market study wasn’t needed. The chief executive of the industry’s ‘forum’, the New Zealand Banking Association Roger Beaumont, claimed, “We’ve got nothing to hide.” Beaumont added, “It’s a highly regulated industry and we’re used to being very transparent and open because of that degree of regulation.”

The Banking Association’s members include: ANZ, BNZ, ASB, Westpac, TSB, Heartland, The Cooperative Bank, Kiwibank, SBS, Citi, J.P.Morgan, HSBC, RaboBank, Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, KB Kookmin Bank, and affiliate members, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and the “Big Three” lawfirms, Chapman Tripp, Russell McVeagh and Bell Gully, who all trace their origins to the Colonial Era of New Zealand’s Masonic state formation, when the land was wrested from Māori either by swindle, struggle or stealth. The Banking Association claims it is a “forum for member banks to work together on non-competitive industry issues” and to be “the voice of the banking industry. We back our banks to deliver for New Zealanders by shaping policy and telling the industry’s story.”

This banking lobby group’s corporate roster looks like a modern version of the Colonial Era Northern Club for members of Auckland’s Oligarchy, the ‘Limited Circle’.

In sunlight, the ‘nothing to hide’ claim dropped like hung outlaws at the gallows.

Snoop Snapshot: Bell Gully resulted from a merger between Bell Gully & Co of Wellington, founded in 1860, and Buddle Weir & Co of Auckland, founded in 1840, and from a merger with the law firm Whitaker & Russell, founded in 1861, by Freemason Frederick Whitaker and Methodist lay-preacher Thomas Russell, the same year that the Bank of New Zealand was established by colonial legislation. Bro. Whitaker became NZ’s Attorney-General and Premier in 1863, while Mr Russell filled the role of Colonial Defence Minister. In this ministerial post, the primary founder of the Bank of New Zealand, Thomas Russell, oversaw the dispersal of funds for the ‘Waikato War’ of 1863-64, that were brokered by the BNZ. Meanwhile, Parliament was like an executive branch of the Bank of New Zealand; 28 shareholders and five directors were in the House with the founder.

The timing of the Commission’s announcement to open a market study into personal banking that would include scoping out how to ‘unlock’ a Māori Lands Market — belied the cryptocracy’s dark humour. How uncanny was it that the public announcement — by the state’s Wellington-headquartered competition regulatory authority — occurred on June 21, and therefore thematically riffed off the date June 21 in 1843, when a delegation of magistrates set out from Wellington to investigate the Wairau Affray. A massacre occurred in the Wairau Valley near Nelson on June 17, when the armed party confronted the Māori group on the muddy banks of a stream. A shot was fired, leading to a firefight in which 22 European settlers and 4 to 9 Māori —including Te Rangihaeata’s wife, Te Rongo — were killed. The New Zealand Company claimed to have purchased the fertile Wairau Valley in 1839, from a deed obtained by a whaler dating back to 1832. Chief Te Rauparaha claimed the deed was for timber and water rights, not full land ownership, and that the deed was not legitimately obtained.

A posse from Nelson accompanied Captain Arthur Wakefield and Nelson Police Magistrate Henry Thompson, who ventured into the Wairau Valley bush to confront the chiefs with a warrant for a charge of arson, alleged to have occurred arising from their opposition to the survey. Thompson demanded the chiefs accompany him aboard the Government brig, Victoria. He made two attempts to handcuff a chief belligerent of the Musket Wars, Te Rauparaha. The chiefs were prepared to accept adjudication of the land dispute, but would not submit to being treated like prisoners by boarding the ship. While the two sides were conferring on the wet banks, a shot was accidently fired by an untrained labourer, who had been added to the arrest party. The affair led to deep bitterness, and represented a cultural conflict over legitimacy of jurisdictions.

Reading the runes, amid ongoing industry reviews, the members of the New Zealand Bankers’ Association saw that a review of the banking industry was on the horizon.

They rebranded as the New Zealand Banking Association to give themselves a Māori translation: Te Rangapū Pēke. This Bank Association stated it was King Tāwhiao’s name for a Māori banking rōpū (or group). Tāwhiao, the second Māori King, who had established Te Peeke o Aotearoa (The Bank of Aotearoa) around 1886 as a financial institution to support the economic autonomy of the Kīngitanga (King Movement). It operated until about 1905, and was usually referred to as ‘the Maori Bank’.

The Bankers’ Association CEO, Mr Beaumont, wrote smugly, “The ingoa, or name, was given to us by Tāwhiao … and we are very grateful for this generous gift. The name reflects who we are as an association of banks woven together to speak with one voice.” This rebrand was announced on 31 January 2023. Potently, on January 31 1770, Freemason Captain James Cook had the British flag raised on Motuara Island, Queen Charlotte Sound, as a Discovery Doctrine ritual when he claimed possession of the lands in King George III’s name, in the presence of an ‘old Indian man’.

Naturally, the old Indian man had no clue that Captain Cook was peforming a ‘Discovery Ritual’, which was the first of 10 elements pertaining to a legal doctrine used by the Christian Cannon Powers to lay claim to territories in the ‘New World’.

So, what motives lay beneath this appellation-themed metaphor-laden historical riff?

The new trade name for the Bankers’ Association not only co-opted the Māori equivalent in keeping with the current corporate-state zeitgeist of political correctness. This manipulative chess move sought to deepen the cultural assimilation of a people who lost the New Zealand Masonic Revolutionary War on the watch of the second Māori King, King Tāwhiao Potatau Te Wherowhero, who advocated a self-reliant Māori economy. Since the Bank of New Zealand played an instrumental role in raising finance for the Waikato War of 1863-64, it would stick in the craw of the Waikato-Tainui tribes to know the Bankers’ Association rebrand announcement was timed with an appellation-theming to telegraph the bankers rule the Monopoly Board.

The Bankers’ Association’s rebrand occurred amid corporate Māori entities investing in Māori-focussed housing, transport hubs, and industrial park developments.

Ergo, with Māori wealth rising, the vexed issue of Māori Land being excluded from the banking industry’s ‘loans’, could be addressed. Naturally, the Market Study on Personal Banking didn’t spell out that retail and commercial banks don’t actually loan savers’ deposits. The terminology in the Commission report such as ‘home loan’, ‘borrower’, ‘residential mortgage’, ‘principal’, and ‘interest’ added to the deceptive smoke and mirrors theater, to obscure a state-regulated cartelized industry practising structural rackteering, systemic fraud, economic warfare and financial enslavement.

With this appellation chess move, the cryptocracy telegraphed that Māori Land would be added to the New Zealand Edition of the Monopoly. This appellation-themed historical riffing telegraphed the bankers expected title deeds as collateral for ‘loans’.

This gazetted notice was published again on June 22 2023, allegedly due to a minor formatting error. Perhaps this mistake wasn’t an error, but an advertisement.

Also on June 22 2023, a statement of process paper was published. How uncanny, since it was on June 22 in 1836 that Edward Gibbon Wakefield presented a process for the colonization of New Zealand before a House of Commons Committee on Colonial Lands. Wakefield advocated a “systematic” approach to colonization, including a policy of selling land at a “sufficient price” to fund the migration of laborers. By this term, he referred to the problem capitalists in the colonies faced since they were forced to be their own workers, in those places where immigrant workers were able to become instant landowners because land prices were dirt cheap. Wakefield, who sought to replicate the capitalist class system, envisaged a solution of controlling the supply of land available for migrants to create a “sufficient price” for the soil, that in turn would regulate the supply of labour. Ergo, sustaining the class system today requires maintaining the scarcity over land through the banking cartel’s maintenance over the scarcity of debt-free cash. The supply of land to migrants is also regulated by maintaining a low wage and low salary economy, by modulating the cost of credit to scuttle employment, sabotage business growth, and to perpetuate credit dependency.

Ergo, to anticipate the possibility that labouring Māori might falter in their mortgage payments, the Banking Association’s law firm members would need to prepare a legal process for a house committee to approve, whereby the titles to Māori Land could be held as collateral, to smooth their disposal through the brutal mortgagee sale method.

Potently, it was on June 22 1982, that Muldoon gazetted his general freeze on prices, which included wages and salaries, commodities, rents, interest, and dividends, but excluded share prices. The stock market became a playground for asset inflation.

Ironically, where Muldoon’s grip on the economy was framed as state centralized planning to justify the transition to a ‘market economy’, the sleight of hand by architects of the corporate raiding of the New Zealand was that the role of central planning would shift to an army of professionals working in think-tanks, banks, and consultancies — in cahoots with the central bank, treasury and other state agencies.

Particularly ironic, since the bankers stealthily regulate pay-rates with quarterly tweaks to the wholesale credit rate, under the benign guise of ‘inflation targetting’.

On 28 June 2023, a Cabinet Paper stated Cabinet approved the banking market study.

What are the odds that on 28 June 1862, Coromandel District was proclaimed a goldfield, by Freemason Governor Bro. George Grey via the New Zealand Gazette. It was the 1860s gold rush on the Coromandel Peninsula, in the North Island, and in Otago and the West Coast of the South Island, and the N.Z. Masonic Revolutionary War of 1860 to 1872, that were the catalysts in forging the colonial banks’ growth.

Given the timing of this Cabinet Paper, how uncanny was it that on 28 June 1870, Freemason Bro. Julius Vogel announced a public works and development programme requiring a loan of £10,000,000 ($20 million) from overseas in his budget speech in the Colonial Parliament. It was in 1875, that N. M. Rothschild ‘loaned’ the New Zealand Government £4 million at 4.5% interest for Immigration and Public Works, as Jules Ayer’s “A Century of Finance” recorded the financial vampirism of the London House of Rothschild. As such, the Cabinet’s approval of the banking market study on June 28 2023, signalled that it was time to create a Māori Land Square, a Tokenized Citizen Wallet, and a Human Data Harvesting Chance Card for the New Zealand Techno-Feudal Edition of Monopoly, just as various gold fields, tribal territories and fencible settler districts could be added to the New Zealand Colonial Edition of Monopoly.

Ergo, the Commerce Commission’s personal banking market study the bankers were aiming to consolidate their structural position as a debt-enslavement grid. Since the bankers’ had their sights on developing a loan market for Māori Land, the date riffing revealed Cabinet had just approved a ‘gold rush boom’ and a ‘development bonanza’.

On August 10 2023, the Commerce Commission published a Preliminary Issues paper.

On August 10 1840, Captain Owen Stanley arrived at Akaroa in the Royal Navy warship, HMS Britomart, to claim sovereignty over the entire South Island by right of Cook’s ‘Discovery’. This chess move occurred in reaction to the arrival of the French covert, L’Aube, on the evening of July 10 1840 at the Bay of Islands. The French naval Captain Charles François Lavaud was beaten in his mission to claim the South Island as a colony of France. How fitting that in 1841, HMS Britomart was used to conduct the first detailed hydrographic survey of Waitematā Harbour, under the command of Captain Owen Stanley, since the port town of Auckland needed navigation charts.

Ergo, a preliminary issues theming was evident in the Commission’s chess move.

On September 7 2023, submissions closed on the Commission’s Preliminary Issues paper. There would be opportunity to make more submissions to the Commission, who would facilitate further ‘stakeholder’ feedback mechanisms in conferences and to take written reponses, such as for its draft report. So, what better mocking way to telegraph the end of this Preliminary Issues feedback process — in a ‘democratic society’ denied the subject of civics during 13 years of mass indoctrination — than to riff off a historical farewell dinner held for Sir George Grey, on September 7 1853 in the Wairarapa, which was one of many to mark the closing of his first governorship?

Ergo, the submissions deadline of September 7 signalled plenty of opportunities would follow, since the farewell dinners for Grey were drawn out for months; he finally departed the colony on December 31st 1853 on the barque, Commodore. He was recalled to the Colony in 1861, to act as consolidator in the Masonic New Zealand Revolution set in motion by the Freemasonic idealitists, Captain James Cook and Joseph Banks. In his re-appointment as Governor of the Colony, Grey would act as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces to end the ‘Maori Rebellion’, since the forging of capitalism required a conquest element, which was integral to the ‘Doctrine of Discovery’. Naturally, a subsection in the Preliminary Paper titled, “A brief history of banking in New Zealand”, failed to mention that the Bank of New Zealand was established in 1861 by the parliament’s legislation, and it quickly became the colonial government’s banker, raising finance to fund the escalation of the New Zealand Wars, as Snoopman reported in 2017. Instead, this brief history of N.Z. Banking mentioned that several banks opened in the 1860s amid the gold rush. Ergo, the Commerce Commission was telegraphing capitalism’s nasty side as an instrument of imperial expansion, was outside the scope of its “Market Study on Personal Banking” — lest the New Zealand Monkey woke up and realized they are all a captive peasantry.

On October 5 2023, cross-submissions closed on the Preliminary Issues paper. These submissions presented feedback, including criticism of the sector’s competitiveness.

What are the odds that it was on October 5 1866, when the ‘Burgess Gang’ (or the ‘Kelly Gang’) were hung at Nelson for the murders of four men while en route to the West Coast goldfields? A reading of an eyewitness account the same day by the Nelson Evening Mail, casts doubt on whether the three men hung at the Nelson Goal had a fair trial, since the Government was under pressure to make an arrest and had offered a reward at a time when the state had neither any bodies nor proof against the suspects.

What followed in the prison yard was a scene that in effect performed like an inversion of the fictional crucifixion scene from the New Testament, with the so-called ring-leader, Richard Burgess, positioned in the middle, and with Thomas Kelly to left of him and Philip Levy to his right. At the gallows, Burgess admitted he was a career criminal and said the informant, Joseph Sullivan, the fourth member of the gang, had actually carried out the killings. Burgess said he became only aware of the murders after the fact, and implied he played a role in the last one of the murders. Kelly and Levy both professed their innocence. Levy added that he witnessed the Superintendent visit Sullivan in prison and assure the captive “approver” that he would get a pardon and be relocated to a part of the world where he was unknown.

Ergo, their metaphorical cross submissions weren’t going to change the court’s decision, and so their testimony at the gallows, performed like an inverted riff of the fictional crucifixion scene; the phantom messianic, ‘Jesus Christ’, was flanked by two thieves.

While Sullivan avoided the death penalty by turning ‘Queen’s evidence’ and testifying against his co-accused, he still received a life sentence. A free pardon was for any accomplice, but not the actual murderer. Ergo, this Burgess Gang hanging contained the ingredients of blame, betrayal, and bias that were reworked as metaphors for a psycho-humour riff in the closure date for cross-submissions on the Preliminary Issues paper. After all, the Victorian Era hanging scene at the Nelson Goal had performed like an inversion of the crucifixion scene from the fictional New Testament. So, despite the Captives presenting criticism, the convictions stayed unchanged. The deluded Informants lacked a ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card, since the Colonial Banksters possessed the stack. The cryptocracy’s humour mocked the profane participants and the public, since the retail banking cross-submissions were an entertaining theater of the earnest.

On March 21 2024, the Commerce Commission released its draft report on personal banking. What are odds that the March 21 1848, that a meeting took place to form the Canterbury Association, which led to the formation of the exclusively Protestant-established City of Christchurch? To establish the Canterbury Association a royal charter would need to be drafted. Ergo, a Church of England settlement-themed historical riffing signalled the Bankers’ Association had little to worry about in 2024, since it was during the reign of Protestant King William III of England, Scotland, and Ireland (1689 to 1702) that the privately-owned Bank of England was founded in 1694.

On April 18 2024, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand tabled its report on the Personal Banking Market Study. How uncanny that on April 18 1840, the first Surveyor General, Felton Mathew, embarked at the Bay of Islands to search for a site for a new capital? The Far North’s biggest tribe, Ngāpuhi, would feel aggrieved that the colony’s capital would not be Kororāreka (now Russell), but instead would be located in the Waitemata Harbour, and would be named Auckland, after Lieutenant Governor William Hobson’s sponsor, Lord Auckland. The mission to gain development loans were withheld until toward the end of the New Zealand Masonic Revolutionary War of 1860 to 1872.

Ergo, techno-feudalism stealthily displaces capitalism, itself established as a colonial-settler expansionist instrument of empire. The Far North’s development stalled since Ngāpuhi still refuses to settle, in part, because the New Zealand Crown won’t admit to the swindle of paper sovereignty in 1840, because the Crown would face renewed legal challenges refuses to its sole sovereign power — and therefore the cryptocracy’s reign.

On April 19 2024, the Cabinet Office published a Cabinet Minute about the Commerce Commission’s Personal Banking Market Study stating the Minister met with the Commission and that the Minister would report back to the Cabinet Economic Policy Committee to seek agreement to any necessary elements of the response. Given that the coercive and forceful features of state power are ‘necessary’ to establish or reforge an instrument of imperial expansion, such as capitalism, it was a potent date to publish this Cabinet Minute, which referred to the Market Study.

Indeed, on April 19 1841, the first sale of town allotments at Auckland was held. Among the buyers was John Logan Campbell, who founded the Auckland Savings Bank in 1847. Campbell and his business partner, William Brown, bought an allottment on Shortland Street. To the rear of this allotment they built for Brown and his wife a cottage from kauri wood. This dwelling, called Acacia Cottage, survives as Auckland’s oldest house, in Cornwall Park, to where it was shifted in 1920. Auckland Savings Bank would flourish in the burgeoning residential mortgage market as the city grew.

These lands were acquired by Crown Agents, who claimed they were purchased off Ngati Whātua of Ōrākei, while the iwi claims the land transfers were customary gifts to the Crown made with the understanding that such gifts were intended for mutual trade, development and economic prosperity, rather than a permanent sale to hock off.

Chiefs saw the land transfer as a menchanism to end lingering intercine animosities.

The iwi claims the word “utu” in the deed of transfer was but was ‘mis-translated’ as “payment”, whereas in 1840, “utu” represented a broad concept of reciprocity, ongoing mutual obligation and maintenance of balance, rather than merely revenge. The tribe failed to comprehend capitalism’s wiring: it is an instrument of imperial expansion.

Uncannily, the Commission’s draft report on personal banking defined a residential mortgage as “a legal instrument registered on a residential property’s title in order to secure the payment of a loan made by a bank (or other lender) to the property owner (for example, to enable the owner to buy the property, to buy land for the construction of a new house or to renovate an existing house).” And business ‘loans’ are similar.

This legal instrument allows the bank to make a collateral claim: “A mortgage allows the lender to sell the property as a last resort if the borrower is unable to pay back the loan. While a mortgage registered on the title is separate to the underlying loan agreement, lending related to residential property is commonly referred to as a home loan, and the terms home loan and mortgage are sometimes used interchangeably.”

Ergo, the ‘Banker’ player still dominates in the New Zealand Edition of the Monopoly.

On May 2 2024, submissions on economic metrics closed. This was a potent date to riff off. On May 2 1858, the crowning of Te Wherowhero Potatau I as the first Māori King took place at Ngaruawhaia. The Kingitanga (or Māori King Movement) was established in an attempt to unify tribes with a pan-Māori tribal power structure to halt sales of Māori lands. The Colonial Oligarchy framed this refusal to sell land for a pittance, as a ‘Maori Rebellion’. Ergo, from the Masonic-Protestant colonial capitalists’ perspective, the coronation of the first Māori King telegraphed poor economic metrics for the development of a class-stratified capitalist economy.

On May 13th 2024, the Commerce Commission opened a consultation conference with a ‘mihi whakatau’, which is a form of welcome similar to a pōwhiri, but less formal. This three-day conference included a session on reducing the barriers to lending on Māori freehold land. How uncanny then, that the timing for opening this consultation conference occurred on May 13th 2024, given that it was on May 13 1864 when a Bank of New Zealand agency opened for business in a tent on the riverbank at Ngaruawhaia, the village that had been the stronghold of Tainui-Waikato before the Waikato War of 1863-64? Ergo, the Commission’s facilitating of industry growth into financing development of Māori freehold land, was signalled with dark humour on a potent date.

This consultation conference ended on May 16th, which riffed off the date May 16 1833 when British Resident James Busby met with chiefs at Paihia and he received a salute of seven guns from the HMS Imogene. In June 1831, Busby outlined his dream job description to make treaties with Māori, when he published a pamphlet in England, titled “Brief Memoir Relative to the Islands of New Zealand”. In September 1831, a rumour had spread that a French ship was coming to invade and evidently caused much alarm in the Bay of Islands, and several rangatira approached Reverend Williams to seek protection from King William IV. A French corvette, La Favorite, arrived on October 3. This event triggered a letter to King William IV, dated October 5 1831 and signed by 13 rangatira asking for the King’s protection. Years later, Busby swindled 143,000 acres from Māori around the Bay of Islands on news of Captain Hobson’s imminent treaty mission. Ergo, a new wave of swindle was codified with the consultation conference’s conclusion on the date of Busby’s seven-gun salute.

How ironic then that a session on Māori access to personal banking services was published on February 14 2024, given that it was on February 14 1872 when Chief Te Kooti Arikirangi Te Tūruki engaged with Government forces for the last time. After all, it was the armed resistance of Te Kooti that was the last vestige of the ‘Maori Troubles’. The Commerce Commission was gleaning information about how to remove obstacles for Māori to be fully absorbed into retail banking. Yet, the sector, the industry and the nation is dominated by a state-endorsed cartel that maintains a structural debt-enslavement business model based on cash scarcity, exorbitant land prices, and the exortionist racketeering practise of charging fees, including interest, for their fraudulently manufactured credit. This was the gorilla in the hearings rooms of the Commerce Commission, and at the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee.

Ergo, the publication date of this Māori access session telegraphed the Commerce Commission had gleaned sufficient data about how to win over the new ‘Te Kootis’.

On May 27 2024, the transcripts from the consultation conference were published. Given that the trans-corporate takeover of the New Zealand economy occurred as a result of the Rockefeller-led ‘1980s Project’ to forge a US-led global super-economy, what are the odds that on May 27 1839, the American flag was first flown in New Zealand at Okiato, Bay of Islands, by the American Consul Captain James Reddy Clendon? Ergo, the Commerce Commission winked at the presence of CitiBank, JP Morgan Chase, BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, all located on lucrative squares on the new outer circuit of the New Zealand Techno-Feudal Edition of Monopoly.

On 30 May 2024, the post-conference cross-submissions closed on the third day, like the Commission was signalling a biblical resurrection after a crucification sacrifice ritual held for the salvation of fallen retail banking customers, who paid usury.

How ironic, because on May 30 1842, Bishop Selwyn arrived at Auckland to begin work in New Zealand. Because, as Bishop, George Augustus Selwyn convened a constitutional conference at St Stephen’s Chapel, Judges Bay, Auckland, in 1857, to forge a Constitution for the Anglican Church of the Province of New Zealand. In the 1850s, Selwyn advocated of Māori rights, which drew bitter reproaches. However, in the early 1860s, he despaired over the upheaval amid the wars over land, the set-back to the growth of a just and equal society, and the divisions within his church.

By 1863, he was unable to see any alternative to the military campaign in the Waikato. This was an ironic and tragic outcome. His action in associating with Lieutenant General Duncan Cameron’s forces as a chaplain, brought a bitter legacy which reverberated in New Zealand’s Anglican Church long after the cessation of hostilities.

After an engagement which resulted in the deaths of women and children in a burning whare at Rangiaowhia on 21 February 1864, it was charged that the Bishop had treacherously misled them into believing the village was a safe haven. Other stories claimed that Selwyn assisted in the massacre, and blessed the troops involved.

Rangiaowhia was an unfortified food basket village with a flour mill, grain fields, vegetable gardens and an orchard, that was occupied by Ngāti Āpakura and Ngāti Hinetū. Some held out to defend their village, such as from St Paul’s Anglican Church, where shots were fired through the windows. About 10 or a dozen warriors fired from a large raupo-walled whare, which either caught fire in the volleys or was set alight, and all were killed by gunshot or the fire, including chiefs Ihaia and Hoani. Three corporals were shot dead, and Colonel Bro. Marmaduke Nixon was hit with gunfire through the left lung, and he died of gangrene on 27th May. Colonel Bro. Nixon was honoured with a full Masonic military funeral on 30 May 1864, the “largest ever known” procession travelled from the Albert Barracks to the Symonds Street cemetery.

Thus, the Commerce Commission’s post-consultation cross submissions start and finish dates, May 27 and May 30, riffed thematically off the ‘sacrifice’ of Freemason Colonel Bro. Nixon, who had been recalled from retirement following the outbreak of the First Taranaki War in March 1860, and made Commanding Officer of two units of the Mounted Defense Calvary (later renamed the Royal Volunteer Calvary). These men formed a line of defence across the Waitemata-Manukau isthmus, linking the Fencible settlements of Howick, Panmure, Ōtāhuhu and Onehunga. Bro. Nixon was also called upon to form a Colonial Defence Force when Governor Bro. Grey’s war plans for the tribes of the Waikato, south of Auckland, emerged. Nixon and Grey had trained at Sandhurst Military College, and comprehended logistics were critical to war strategy.

The Battle of Rangiaowhia spelt the death knell for Māori resistance in the Waikato War. Colonel Nixon penetrated the Paterangi Line, which was a six mile system of pā, trenches and bunkers in the vicinity of Paterangi Pā, deep in Waikato territory. Without this productive village and its surrounding gardens and fields, and the loss of other pā sites in the Waikato, the Battle of Ōrākau was a disaster for Waikato Māori.

Ergo, the cryptocratic dark state were signalling through their penetration of the Commerce Commission, that without the defeat of the Waikato and Tainui tribal forces at Rangiaowhia, the finance for colonial banking would have been withheld.

These post-conference cross-submissions papers were published on June 17 2024, which was like a spiralled reverberatory closing of the circle, since the Commission’s announcement to open its Personal Banking Market Study had occurred on June 21 2023. As such, these two dates June 21 2023, and June 17 2024, acted like an inversion of the friction at Wairau on June 17 1843, and the subequent delegation of magistrates who set out from Wellington on June 21 1843, to investigate the issues at stake.

The same day that the Commission published the post-conference cross-submissions papers, June 17 2024, the Treasury’s Debt Management Office (DMO) published a memorandum for Primary Dealers, describing objectives, processes, and expectations for an efficient market in N.Z. Government Securities. The Debt Management Office was seeking to minimise the Crown’s costs of borrowing. So, it was on June 17 1869, that the first gold mine at Thames, the Mooanatairi, opened. And on June 17 1872, a quartz-crushing machine was erected in Otago, after the 1860s gold rush.

Ergo, structural shifts are afoot, and the banking industry is being recalibrated to mine humans as data resources, while the economy is re-cast as a mining facility.

These correspondences may seem unrelated. However, the Government agency, New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals published a two-part report in late August 2024 detailing resources by quantity with maps, for a strategic timeline to develop the vassal state’s capacity as a global mineral exporter by 2040. Ergo, this plan requires highways engineered for heavy trucking, inland transport hubs, and upgraded rail connected to sea-ports that are continuing to be privatized by councils. And, this long-range casting of New Zealand as a mining facility ‘requires’ taxpayer backed state loans, and maintaining cheap credit in N.Z.’s currency to lure private investment.

The Treasury’s Debt Management Office’s memorandum titled, Updated Primary Market Access Framework, stated a consultation document had been released on March 19 2024. Potently, it was on this date, 19 March, in 1861 when hostilities formally ceased in Taranaki with a flag of truce hoisted for the second time and a ceasefire conference held near Redoubt No. 6, following an intervention by Chief Wiremu Tāmihana, the previous day, March 18, after the skirmishes continued. The first shots were fired on March 17 1860 by surveyor Charles Hursthouse, as part of a Masonic-Protestant plot to trigger war by selecting Waitara as the flash-point, and stoking known internal antagonisms over love and the hurt pride of two chiefs. Like Governor Grey, his Commissioner for Native Land Purchases, Bro. Donald Mclean, was a consumate gleaner of ‘native intelligence’. In effect a famous Māori proverb was weaponized. ‘He wāhine, he whenua mate ai te tangata’ which translates to ‘By women or land, man is defeated.’ The Native Affairs Minister, Christopher William Richmond, bragged in a memorandum dated March 20 1860 between officials:

“It has long been manifest that in the first attempt to enforce obedience to the governor’s decision on any question affecting the natives might bring the disaffected tribes to the point of rebellion. An occasion has now arisen in which it has become necessary to support the governor’s authority by a military force. The issue has been carefully chosen — the particular question being as favourable a one of its class as could be selected.”

This minute was a frank admission for stoking what was publicly cast as a ‘native insurrection’, since the surveyors had acted as agent provocateurs in a wedge of war framework. Richmond’s minute also outlined the Maori King Movement’s mind for national independence, to oppose further European settlement with armed resistance.

So, New Zealand’s Debt Management Office (DMO) signalled that debt-encumbered land was an effective mechanism to end resistance of any independent-minded Māori, while managing the optics to ensure enough Kūpapa Māori Elite were cultivated.

And, how incessant mortgage adverts with family-oriented marketing of home loans underscores how, ‘By women or land, man is defeated,’ still holds true — due to financial illiteracy. The entrapment of financially illiterate horny grown-ups works exquisitely well, because they don’t comprehend that the glossy brochures, slick TV commercials, and friendly bank staff, all mask the fact that every empire needs an instrument of expansion. And, how cartel capitalism became the de jure mechanism after the Colonial Cannon Powers had enslaved the peasant, aboriginal and native monkeys by enclosing the lands, restricting cash earnings and supplying credit. And, how the present Hundred Years’ War was envisaged at a secret meeting on February 15 1890 between Nathaniel Rothschild, Cecil Rhodes and other degenerate well-connected men to re-invigorate the British Masonic Empire. And, nor do financially illiterate horny grown-ups, lured by home-loan marketing, know that the world is still in the Third Hundred Years’ War, which began around 1900 as a conflict to control the territories, technologies and techniques associated with oil, and the present tectonic geopolitical shifts are a struggle to dominate the development of the computing chip.

The hierarchical arrangements that have been threaded through all civilizations, are poised to subsume humanity’s capacity to be free forever, if we the generations currently alive allow this totalitarian heist of the planet to proceed unchecked. This is because super-computing has the capacity to collectivize all previous instruments of expansion, including the various iterations of slavery, monasticism, feudalism, capitalism, communism, and their variant off-shoots and legacy institutions, to forge techno-feudalism. Amid the exponentially growing technological advancement, including artificial intelligence, robotics and the meshing of computing power with genetically engineered biological organisms, the planet’s rulers intend to make humans superfluous. Western Civilization has been reset onto a totalitarian trajectory.

But, who’d know reading DMO memos, that far-reaching transformations were afoot?

The DMO’s Primary Market Access Framework confirmed a name change from Registered Tender Counterparties (RTCs) to the term Primary Dealers (PDs), to conform with the name for the role of wholesale currency buyers of government securities in other jurisdictions, such as the United States. It also stipulated that market participants were required to uphold the reputation of NZGS markets and support the overall efficiency and functioning of the secondary market in NZGS products. This requirement implied the Primary Dealers were restrained from disclosing the racketeering inherent to the New Zealand’s banking cartel and their global counterparts. Furthermore, the Treasury’s Debt Management Office stated:

“A key objective of the Primary Market Access Framework is to support NZGS secondary market liquidity, thereby reducing any liquidity premiums on NZGS and consequently minimising the Crown’s funding costs.” — NZ Debt Management, 17 June 2024

In plain english, the Debt Management Office expected its Primary Dealers to actively pimp out N.Z.’s Government Securities to their clients, customers and counterparties.

So, more than a year after the Bankers’ Association conjured a minor name change to rebrand as the Banking Association, supposedly as a politically correct translation contrivance to incorporate Tāwhiao’s name for a Māori banking group name, Te Rangapū Pēke, ahead of the Commerce Commission’s sanitized ‘study’ of the retail banking sector, which incorporated a segment about how to extend mortgages to
Māori freehold title land — the Treasury’s Debt Management Office timing was cute.

Since the Treasury’s Debt Management Office (DMO) published its memorandum for Primary Dealers, stipulating the house-rules for an efficient market in New Zealand Government Securities and to facilitate minimising the Crown’s costs of borrowing, on the same day that post-conference cross-submissions papers were published on June 17 2024, the DMO was communicating its expectations that the Commerce Commission’s recommendations wouldn’t impinge on the syndicate’s debt market.

The date, June 17, after all, was packed with threats of calamity and promises of prosperity since it was on June 17 1843, that the Wairau Affray occurred, and on June 17 1869, when the Mooanatairi gold mine opened at Thames, and on June 17 1872, that a quartz-crushing machine was erected in Otago, after the 1860s gold rush. Ergo, just like in Monopoly, where children have fun navigating financial doom and reaping the rewards of a market boom, the Treasury’s Office of Debt had fun with metaphors.

Given that the Commerce Commission’s post-conference cross-submissions closed on May 30 2024, a date that riffed off the day, May 30 1842, of Bishop Selwyn’s arrival at Auckland, and that he would subsequently become embroiled in recrimminations over the massacre at Rangiaowhia on February 21 1864, it was uncanny that the Wairau Massacre on June 17 1843 appeared to be used as historical material to riff off, for timing the publication of the post-conference cross-submissions papers on June 17 2024. After all, the Wairau Massacre occurred when a posse of jumped-up colonists tried to arrest Chief Te Rauparaha for a charge of arson associated with a land dispute.

The publication date of the Treasury Debt Management Office’s ‘Consultation Document’ on the Primary Market Access Framework on March 19 2024 was potent for its historic significance, not only because it was on March 19 1861 when hostilities formally ceased in Taranaki with a flag of truce hoisted and a ceasefire conference held near Redoubt No. 6, following an intervention by Chief Wiremu Tāmihana.

Given the absurd poverty crisis in N.Z., that had grown in parallel with the corporate heist of the economy in the mid-1980s, another March 19 date carries potency.

On March 19 1930, Charles Bathurst, 1st Viscount Bledisloe, was appointed as N.Z.’s Governor General. Known as Lord Bledisloe, Charles Bathurst did a stint as Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Food Control during World War I, which was a junior minister’s post. The Ministry sponsored a network of canteens known as National Kitchens. As Governor General, Bledisloe was claimed to have improved Pākehā–Māori relations, purchasing the Waitangi site where the Treaty was signed and presenting it to the nation as a memorial. This chess move was part of a charm offensive ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Waitangi Treaty signings. While the sanitized historical accounts mention he was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of New Zealand during his term as governor-general, they fail to mention how this important alignment subtly worked to prepare the troops for another war, while advancing the charm offensive targetting Māori. Bro. Bledisloe wrote a forward to a 1935 book, The Extinct Lodges of New Zealand, which chronicled the demise of 32 lodges of New Zealand Freemasonry that had their heydays during the Colonial Era. Some of these lodges were set up prior to, and during, the New Zealand Masonic Revolutionary War of 1860 to 1872, to inflict the consolidation stage — by conquest.

Therefore, the date March 19 was potent, because in 2023, the year prior to the DMO’s ‘consulation document’, the New Zealand Food Network (NZFN) supported an average of over 630,000 individuals per month with food aid (including food parcels, social supermarkets, and community meals) via its partner food hubs, representing a 42% increase in demand compared to 2022, and an 83% increase over 2021. This is in a food exporting country of five million, that produces enough food for 40 million humans.

Ergo, at a time when the Luxon Government had just tried to perform a summer charm offensive at Waitangi 2024, the Treasury Debt Management Office was consulting with New Zealand’s banking cartel on tweaks to its Primary Dealer market in Government Securities to maintain the debt-enslavement system established during the Masonic takeover of New Zealand. How ironic that the heritage of the ‘Big Four’ banks can be traced back to the Victorian Era. The Bank of New Zealand was established in 1861, while Auckland Savings Bank was founded in 1847. And ANZ was in part formed out of the Union Bank of Australia (which opened New Zealand’s first trading bank in 1840), and the National Bank of New Zealand, which was established in 1873. And, Westpac’s corporate heritage in New Zealand began with the Bank of New South Wales establishing a presence in New Zealand in 1861 during the Otago Gold Rush. The Bank of New South Wales changed its name to Westpac in 1982, and acquired Trust Bank New Zealand in 1996, that in turn resulted from the mergers of New Plymouth Savings Bank (est. 1850), the Dunedin Savings Bank (est. 1864), the Invercargill Savings Bank (est. 1864) and the Hokitika Savings Bank (est. 1866) in 1988.

The cryptic deprivation, deception, and dispossession-theming struck a gloating tone.

The date 13 August 2024 was set as the deadline for the so-called ‘independent’ Commerce Commission to report back to the Minister of Commerce. This deadline riffed off the date, August 13 1847, when Reverend Henry Williams received news of Governor George Grey’s “Blood and Treasure” dispatch sent to Lord Gladstone on June 25 1846. Grey blamed Williams and other missionaries for swindling land from Māori, as the root cause of the Northern War of 1845-1846. However, this rationale was deceptive, for it deflected from the fact that the Northern Chiefs allied around Hone Heke and Te Ruki Kawiti were resentful that their trade was being taxed, their authority was sidelined like rail-cars consigned to a shunting yard, and that what land deals were deemed illegal were taken by the Crown. Ergo, the Commerce Commission signalled the report would obscure the “blood and treasure” operation’s true causes.

On December 10 2024, the Cabinet Office published a Cabinet Minute noting that the Cabinet Business Committee agreed with the Commerce Commission’s conclusion, outlined in its final market study report, that competition was not working as well as it could, when providing retail banking services to New Zealand consumers. The Cabinet Business Committee said the Government will act on all 14 recommendations.

How uncanny that the publication of this Cabinet Minute riffed thematically off the historical date 10 December 1868 when the Kuranui Company’s 10-Stamper Battery officially opened in the district of Thames during the Thames Gold Rush. A 10-stamper battery (or 10-stamp mill) was a mid-sized industrial machine used in late 19th and early 20th-century hard-rock gold mining, to crush gold-bearing quartz ore into a fine sand, allowing the gold to be extracted. And, on December 10 1969, the first ironsand was fed into the kiln at Glenbrook steelworks. Ergo, the cryptocracy — via the Cabinet Business Committee — signalled that the underlying purpose of the Commission’s Market Study on Personal Banking Services, was a hard-rock gold mining operation to perform as a 10-Stamper Battery. By crushing gold-bearing quartz ore into a fine sand, the gold to be extracted. By mining data, cryptocracy’s officials at the Commerce Commission, Treasury and the Reserve and inside the banking fraternity, could work out how to efficiently crush as many quartz humans as possible into harvestable data-sand, while extracting the pure gold humans as assets.

And, what are the odds that the 10-point memorandum received a rubber stamp of approval from the Cabinet Business Committee, on the same date, December 10, when the Kuranui Company’s 10-Stamper Battery opened on 10 December 1868, in Thames? The cryptocratic dark state’s crushing black humor mocked New Zealanders.

On September 19 2025, the Minister’s 12-Month Report on the Personal Banking Market Study was published, exactly 13 months after the Commerce Commission’s final report was publicly released. What are the odds that on September 19th 1949, the New Zealand pound currency was devalued in coordination with Britain and the Commonwealth countries? And on September 19 in 1840, Thorndon was gazetted by the New Zealand Company as a settlement site, instead of at Petone. (In 1865, an ‘independent’ Australian Commission selected Wellington as a suitable central location for the Colony’s Parliament, and the suburb of Thorndon became its home). The Reserve Bank and Treasury are located near the Beehive, which is in Thorndon.

Ergo, the Finance Minister’s 12-Month Report codified cooperation with the banking fraternity, with a nod to N.Z.’s colonial roots and the decline of Britain at the end of the Dominon Era due to the indebtedness of London’s bankers to Wall Street.

The cryptic communications signalled that the cryptocracy was steering the executives at the Commission, ministers of Cabinet, and the members of the Banking Association, the officials at the Beehive, the Reserve Bank, the Treasury and its Debt Management Office, together in such a way to ensure the optics were well managed.

Ergo, these chess moves associated with the Commission’s Personal Banking Market Study signalled a curated solidarity — with metaphor-laden historical date riffs.

This modus operandi of thematic riffing off historical events was consistent with such metaphor-laden riffs associated with the set-up, execution and aftermath of the staged currency crisis in 1984, as detailed in part 4 of Snoopman’s Darkest Days by Dates Down Under series, entitled “Kiwi Dollar Weaponized as Ransom Notes — ‘Bastille Day’ Currency Crisis, 1984”. This finding proves continuity of a shadow government.

Snoop-Takeaway: N.Z. is ruled from the shadows by a domestic cryptocracy that signposts its chess moves with thematically-encoded date riffs in cahoots with a transnational dark state.                                 

13 Dirty Secrets of Banking: Crony Capitalism Context and Conclusions

The banking cartel inflicts financial enslavement amid widespread economic illiteracy among the population, which starts in the Great Sorting Machine known as ‘school’.

Consequently, the New Zealand Monkey grows up to believe that their vote counts and that the elected Government has the power to make significant changes in the interests of the people. Yet, what changes are the brands of the Fizzy Drink Parties in office, while the Treasury designs the rules around the use of private financial institutions, who create credit currency, and while the State Services Commission appoints compliant leadership across the public service, and the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) ensures uniform execution in policy direction.

Private finance is the senior partner of the Government, no matter which party wins.

This bank cartel is a system of Corporate Public–Private Government, facilitating technocracy to incrementally displace democracy. This occurs at a time when most monkeys who live in the ‘liberal democracies’ of so-called ‘Western Civilization’, think of an elected government as akin to a warranty where the product can be replaced if it turns out to be faulty. But, the faults are a form of planned obsolescence, not ‘failures’.

A two party system in a left-right political paradigm provides the illusion of choice.

In New Zealand, this illusion of choice was expanded in 1996 with a Mix-Member Proportional voting system, that in effect offered more fizzy drink brands at the election night party. Like in the two party system, a Coalition Government still out-sources decisions to corporate consultancies, anonymous advisors still slither across the floors of the Beehive, and the bank cartel still allocates credit to syndicate cronies.

The monkeys’ roll is to vote for the Zoo’s new Santa CEO, who promise better policy presents during vote harvest season, which happens every three years in New Zealand.

This charade works on children in grown-ups bodies who avoid political puberty, and who keep believing the fairy tales about bureaucratic elves toiling away all year round to build the better policy products. This avoidance to grow political balls or political ovaries, means nominal grown-ups are easily persuaded, or just go along to get along.

Oddly, most parents ‘teach’ their children to be honest, but they see their parents voting for a ‘professional group’ that can lie on record, yet they don’t go directly to jail.

And this ‘professional group’ behaves like an undisciplined class when the teacher is absent — squabbling, slinging insults and threatening ‘to tell’ to get rivals in trouble.

But, when they are overseas and meet up with similar professionals, they vainly pose for photos smiling, shaking hands and performing power walk rituals like they are at a prizegiving. And, it leaves free-thinkers wondering what prizes were really exchanged.

Since the public don’t make the effort to see ‘the wiring’ of the hidden mechanisms of social control, nor to hear the behind-the-scenes players manipulating the political, commercial, cultural or martial trajectory of New Zealand, like its a Carbon Tax Facility to plug into to recharge the corporate EV fleet, they become like kids every three years sitting on the knee of their favorite Team Santa asking for policy presents.

Yet, the role of central Government, local government and their agencies is to steadily build out the new operating system with shiny marketing selling a slick smurf story.

The key feature of the new operating system is that the nation state morphs into an infrastructure maintenance facility (IMF) which provides the administrative, legal and enforcement framework to assist the transcorporate networks to harvest resources.

The smurf story lacks the how and the who of the why N.Z. has a toll booth economy.

Since the Commerce Commission screened off investigating commercial banking, the regulator preserved its own oblivion as the principle actor. This prosecution authority also became the agent of the subsequent unwitting misdeeds by ‘failing’ to spot the mechanisms that facilitated a ‘meeting of minds’ to maintain a cartel syndicate.

Moreover, since the Commerce Commission observed seven broad elements consistent with cartel coordination, this prosecution entity could have opened a parallel covert probe to focus on the commercial banks, their personnel and the state interface.

After all, its top executives would have to be as dumb as hammers to fail to see the wiring of a cartel, as Snoopman’s ‘13 Secrets of Banking’ shows. But, the Commission was unprepared to embroil the Treasury, the Reserve Bank and the Inland Revenue Department for their complicity in maintaining the racketeering structure of the cartelized banking industry over many decades. The Commission would have also had to coordinate its probe with the Police, and the S.I.S., and the Crown Law Office.

The Commission concluded that New Zealand’s personal banking sector lacks competition due to the absence of a “disruptive maverick” provider. This excuse was a safe deflection away from the Commerce Commission’s short-comings as a regulator.

The ‘need’ for disruptive ‘Maverick Banks’ was also a suggestion of a small lobby group, Monopoly Watch NZ, founded in 2016 by Tex Edwards, who called the Big Four, “Austrialian dinosaurs”. He described the “Australian-owned cartel” as “a vested interest club house supported by an army of [l]obbyists like the Bankers [A]ssociation and the misguided [f]inance [p]rofessionals group, INFINZ”. Edwards believed the problems of capitalism were best fixed by the private sector, with investment capital coming from the business sector, to fund an open banking start-up, or an online ‘fintech’. In his view, the Commission needed to supply a framework, including capital requirements, for the establishment of Maverick Banks to be scaleable and sustainable. In his oral submission, he said UK officials made the banks fund ‘open banking’. Monopoly Watch advocated Commission executives range beyond Australia to glean information to propose viable solutions, rather than attempt to use tax-funds to fix the problems of an industry who were allowed to complete “erroneous” mergers.

Yet, he failed to comprehend that capitalism is being displaced by techno-feudalism, and that a necessary pre-requisite to complete this stealthy multi-decade transition is the impoverishment of the monkeys, such that they become techno-peasants. After all, without economic independence, all other rights collapse. And, one of the key objectives of techno-feudalism as the new instrument of expansion, is to create a perfect totalitarian system in which no one can rebel against its authoritarian regimes.

The Commission failed to admit that the “stable oligopoly” of the four major banks — BNZ, ANZ, ASB and Westpac — exists to act as a single monopoly. An oligopoly-type cartel refers to a formal, explicit agreement, or to tacit collusion between a small number of dominant firms (an oligopoly) within an industry to coordinate their actions— specifically regarding price-setting, output quotas, and market sharing.

Because the Commerce Commission played along with the Minister of Commerce (or his sly advisors), the nation’s competition regulator performed a screening action by failing to mention in its report that the BNZ, ANZ, Westpac and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (the ASB’s owner) are also categorised as Primary Dealers, who ‘buy’ the Government’s debt through Treasury’s Debt Management Office at a half-hour online ‘auction’ every Thursday afternoon. These four banks are among eight ‘primary dealers’ who set the price for renting the New Zealand currency each week by agreeing the ‘buy’ various quantities of the Treasury Bills and Governments Bonds.

But, the banks — as Primary Dealers — don’t use savers’ deposits to buy the state’s securities. The Primary Dealers conjure credit to ‘loan’ the Treasury the funds as debt, which is why the Treasury Debt Management Office is on the hook to pay a ‘bond yield’ (an interest-bearing security). After all, capitalism is a system of private credit funding public expenditure, while monkeys cheerfully toil for their existence because access to land is restricted, and while oligarchs weild their claims to wealth to steer the political trajectory of captive colonies that have been reframed as ‘free markets’. When savers nominate a portion of their deposits to be ‘invested’ in the government ‘treasuries’, they are participating in a secondary market, whereby the bank as a primary dealer is profitting off sub-letting the state securities to its clueless captive customers.

In other words, regular Monkeys, who are cast as taxpayers and who are subject to income tax on their wages, or salaries or earnings as business owners — toil to pay off public debt principal payments and the interest, called yields, through numerous state taxes. The principal amount of the public debt is extinguished when it is ‘repaid’ with taxes, meaning that portion of the currency disappears by accounting ledger entries.

And regular Monkeys, who are cast as consumers, who can’t earn enough to save enough cash to buy a home outright, are either compelled to borrow into existence the balance they can’t muster for the ‘deposit’, or they’re compelled to rent, or pay board.

In either case, N.Z.’s banking cartel reaps the windfall profits off the interest on the conjured ‘loans’ — as well as from transaction, late payment, or credit appraisal fees.

Ultimately, the four banking brands — BNZ, ANZ, ASB and Westpac — have in common the same top three underlying beneficial institutional owners: Vanguard, BlackRock and State Street. These three institutional investors collude at the apex of corporate ownership across western capitalism, to transition economies to a post-capitalism world with a new imperial instrument of expansion: techno-feudalism.

Just as the Commission avoided opening an independent investigation into the commercial banking sector, to detect its explicit and implicit coordination with each other and their counterparts in the personal banking sector space, to maintain a racketeering debt-based monetary system, this so called ‘independent’ regulatory authority also neglected to show that the ownership chain of the four major retail banks that controlled 90% of the market, shared the same top three owners.

But, to do that the Commission’s top executives would’ve had to overcome the cultural conditioning, complacency and cowardice that pervades every significant institution, in a land where the isolated population chases carrots and is afraid of sticks, in a most attentuated way. New Zealand suffers from small island syndrome. Most fear calling out shady practices in their workplaces, or industries, or public entities, because every private and public sector speciality is small and the elite level is tight at the top.

And, because the nation’s cultural wiring was forged in the Victorian Age, when the emergent establishment imposed acceptable topics of conversation, as any newsroom possessing a copy of Professor John Miller’s 1958 book, Early Victorian New Zealand: A Study of Racial Tension and Social Attitudes, 1839-1852 — would recall. The acceptable conversations were limited to reporting their afternoon walks, bragging about their children, gossiping on the worthiness of particular relationships as they pertained to class stratification, the entertainment on offer, and news from England, clothes, horses, and cases of outraged conventionalism. Embarassingly, this wiring continues in broad fundamental form with mere additions and subtractions, because the population maintains the performance of social masks, in a geographically isolated part of the world. Most who were born in N.Z. haven’t lived and worked and built anything with the local populations in foreign lands; that’d shake up rigid psyches.

Except, next door, in Australia, where 600,000 New Zealanders live in what is classed as a pivot state, meaning a nation located at the seam of the international system. Middle Powers such as Australia, are sites for contest among the rivals of the Great Powers, and as such they are drawn into a geopolitical game where they attempt to avoid ending up on the menu. Australia, as part of the Western Alliance, views China as a threat, even as it trades with the rising regional power. Snoopman explores the creepy, sinister logic that such an oceanic power alliance would require a shadow pivot state to fulfil a Trojan Horse function, by acting as its lightening-rod, its lab-facility and its light-house. The thematic date-riffing — that is detectable in New Zealand’s staged disasters, economic crises and other catalytic events since the tragic Ballantynes’ Fire in 1947 — continues to the present, functioning as a covert war.

Ergo, where Britain exported its hardy excess convicts to Australia, New Zealand was colonized by Britain’s excess population of conformists, who performed the polite airs.

So, the “nice” population doesn’t question, speak-up, nor forge parallel watchdogs.

But, the most mobile take flight in search of work in the old penal colony across the ‘ditch’, or further afield, meaning that at any one time, a million ‘Kiwis’ live overseas.

Consequently, most New Zealand Monkeys give no thought to why N.Z.’s Government borrows money, how debt besets councils books, or who has enough money to ‘lend’ to a government, let alone governments everywhere, as the Debt Clocks show. Nor, why tethering a state’s economy to debt is a bad idea, and how and why it happened.

For example, commerce students learn that when the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) was formally established on August 1st 1934, following the Reserve Bank Act 1933, it was created to act as the nation’s central bank, taking over the sole right to issue banknotes, manage currency, control the exchange rate, and provide stability to the financial system during the economic distress of the Great Depression. But, commerce students don’t learn that the Rothschilds, as the world’s dominant banking dynasty in the 19th century — withheld serious development finance for Colonial New Zealand until after the ‘Land Wars’ were won by the British and Colonial forces. Ergo, the land was enclosed by a masonic-driven conflict and crooked land agents, surveyors and lawmakers finished off what the soldiers couldn’t complete, to establish capitalism. Neither do those students of commerce who gain a masters of business administration actually learn how Lord Nathaniel Rothschild hosted a cabal meeting at his country estate on February 15 1890 to hear Cecil John Rhodes pitch his world domination plot to reforge the British Empire using a Jesuit-like secret society.

This world domination plot would entail making war in southern Africa to gain control of the gold mines as a war treasure chest, while the diamond mines would supply gemstones with the hardness for machine-cutting tools to engineer a fully mechanized war machine on land, the seas, and in the air for ‘the Great War’. And in the ‘Inter-War Period’, a collapse of Germany’s economy amid a worldwide slump would be staged for a ‘grid’ of international bankers, and industrialists to resource the Nazis on a war path, as any newsroom possessing a copy of Conjuring Hitler: How Britain and America Made the Third Reich, by Guido Giacomo Preparata — would know.

Ergo, after World War II, the Federal Reserve’s dollar imperium gained the status as a de-facto world currency because America was the only power left un-wrecked.

New Zealand and Australia were drawn deeper into the orbit of the American Empire.

Both country’s currencies were earmarked for a changeover. On October 1st 1957, a Committee appointed by the Minister of Finance, had recommended a currency switch from the imperial pound to a decimal dollar, while their Australian federal government counterparts appointed a committee to investigate the issue in 1959. In 1963, both countries announced they would go decimal. As a prepatory step, the New Zealand-Australia Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed on August 31 1965.

In 1965, a Bank of New Zealand employee, Terrance Nuthall, was sent to the BNZ’s Melbourne branch and later to the bank’s Sydney branch, while Australia prepared its currency switch-over set for February 14 1966. The Australian currency change-over was commerce-themed, since the New South Wales colony’s first shop opened at Sydney Cove on February 14 1792. Nuthall said his secondment to Australia was in order to help oversee the Bank of New Zealand switch to a decimal one. He helped write manuals, gave talks at clubs and invited Muldoon to speak at a Junior Chamber, while publicity on the new currency was organised by the Decimal Currency Board, and the Decimal Currency Act 1964 provided for advisory and technical committees.

However, in his biographical article for Local Matters, Nuthall neglected to mention the significance surrounding his selection for the currency changeover from covertibly with the English imperial pound to the full convertibility with the American decimal dollar on 10 July 1967. Yet, Nuthall did not mention who he married. His wife, Beatrice Este, was named after her ancestor, Beatrice d’Este, who was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci. Born in 29 June 1475, in the Castello Estense in the Duchy of Ferrara in what became Northern Italy, Beatrice d’Este was the second child of Ercole I d’Este and Eleanor of Aragon. She was also painted by Bernardino de’ Conti, an apprentice of Da Vinci, in a painting later mistitled, The Rothschild Lady.

Beatrice d’Este led the Milanese resistance against the French during the first of the Italian Wars. Her interventions repelled the Duke of Orléans who was on the verge of conquering Milan. Therefore, it’s significant that Terrance Nuthall oversaw the currency changeover on Muldoon’s watch as Under Secretary of Finance, on 10 July 1967, since the event riffed off the date when the French frigate L’Aube sailed into the Bay of Islands after dark on 10 July 1840, with the mission to claim sovereignty over the South Island. How remarkable was it that a low-born bank officer would marry an ancestor of the Duchess of Milan, who was important enough to have been painted by Da Vinci? Terrence Nuthall’s marriage to Beatrice Este took place on May 28 1966.

This date thematically riffed off the date, 28 May 1862, that Vincent Pyke, a member for the Victorian Parliament, was gazetted as the Secretary of the Otago Goldfields (often referred to as the Goldfields Commissioner), a post that placed him in authority over the various provincial gold boards, to organize the administration of gold mining, and to draft regulations which fostered the development of the mining industry. Pyke was personally popular, as he constantly travelled through the goldfields delivering informative lectures to the miners. Ergo, the timing of Nuthall’s marriage to Este, signalled he was conferred with a nobleman’s office: ‘Secretary of the Currency’.

In the 1960s, London bankers developed a Euro-Bond market — with currency trading floors and an offshore tax haven network — to re-invent the British Masonic Empire.

In 1971, Muldoon succumbed to intense lobbying from the Broadlands Dominion Group to allow foreign firms access to merchant banking. At the time, there was only one merchant bank, the domestically-owned New Zealand United Corporation established in 1960. Four merchant banks with foreign ties — MARAC, Chase-NBA, Broadbank and South Pacific Merchant Finance — soon emerged. Currency trading rooms were built. The Chase-NBA New Zealand merchant bank was formed between the Rockefeller-controlled Chase Manhattan Bank of New York and the National Bank of Australia, and was headed by future Neo-Feudal Rich-Lister, Alan Gibbs.

Broadbank’s first CEO was the future Reserve Bank Governor Don Brash (1988-2002), and was formed in a joint venture between Broadlands Dominion Group and Wells Fargo Bank of San Francisco. Gibbs and Brash developed an offshore market in New Zealand dollars at a time when currency speculation was being pioneered to take advantage of a successful Wall Street-City of London financial-political coup in which the strings of the Rockefeller-puppet president, Mr Nixon, were pulled to un-peg the U.S. Fed’s dollar cartel convertibility from a stable value of gold, as William Engdahl shows in, A Century of War: Anglo-American Oil Politics and the New World Order.

A major threat to this emergent market for currency trading, came with the election of Norman Kirk in a landslide win by the Labour Party in 1972. As prime minister, Kirk wanted New Zealand to be the leading nation in a “world barter economy”. Such a vision was a direct threat to the currency traders and the grid of international bankers, since it would have presented a viable model for inter-state bartering.

Whereas, currency trading is a pre-requisite for weaponizing a nation’s currency through speculative attacks to create a currency crisis with which to compel the government to impose ‘market economy reforms’. Currency crises cause state treasuries to exhaust their currency reserves in futile attempts to maintain the value of their currency, often leading to emergency borrowing from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In turn, the IMF responds with coercion to pressure governments to corporatize the state sector, and then privatize the state-owned enterprises, including infrastructure, as well as public services like hospitals, schools and libraries.

Conveniently, Norman Kirk died on August 31 1974. What are the odds that a prime minister who wanted New Zealand to be the leading nation in the barter economy would die on the same day that the New Zealand Australia Trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed, on August 31 in 1965? Kirk — who was a threat to the emergent cryptocratic dark state — had undergone operations for varicose veins in both legs and had flown to northland in an unpressurized Air Force plane to stay at Air Marshall Rochford Hughes’ bach in the care of army nurses. Kirk was in pain. After Kirk phoned the wife of Minister of Defence from a local diary, he was taken to the Old Lady’s Home of Compassion hospital in Island Bay, Wellington, where there was no security, as former mayor Bob Harvey retold in his autobiography, Wild Westie. In the chapter “The Demise of Norman Kirk”, Harvey opined that Kirk was assassinated. After all, Kirk had also dispatched two Royal New Zealand Navy frigates — the HMNZS Otago and the HMNZS Canterbury — to Mururoa Atoll to protest French atmospheric nuclear testing in the Pacific. (The nuclear tests migrated underground).

The timing of Kirk’s death signalled his barter economy vision threatened merchant banking, multi-national industrialists, and Anglo-American imperial interests.

Ergo, a free trade-thematic metaphor underpinned the ‘timely’ death of Norman Kirk.

With Kirk out of the way, his replacement Bill (Wallace) Rowling by caucus vote lacked charisma and would lose the 1975 election to Robert Muldoon, who was backed by the Wellington Capital Club, founded by Robert Jones, to propel National to power.

In the year before Kirk broke National’s 12-year rule over the captive South Pacific colony, the validity of the ‘American dollar’ as the world’s defacto currency had come into question amid huge deficits run-up during America’s War on Indochina.

Matters came to a head in early August 1971 when former Rothschild banker and French President George Pompidou (1969-1974), who was also a Knight of Malta, sent a battleship into New York Harbor to remove France’s gold from the vault of the New York Federal Reserve Bank and to transport it to the Banque de France in Paris.

This chess move resulted in President Richard Nixon interrupting NBC’s 9pm broadcast of Bonanza, on August 15 1971, that the US Treasury bonds were no longer exchangeable for gold. By removing gold as a stable standard against which commodity and currency values had been measured, commodities once again entered the ‘casino circuit’ for speculation-driven ‘asset inflation’ that had occurred prior to the engineered Share-Market Crash of 1929. In this way, American dollars in the international arena was deemed a fully fiat currency, which is paper money with no precious metal backing. Instead, the U.S. currency would be fully backed with ‘lead’.

The North Atlantic banker dynasties that owned the Federal Reserve banking cartel needed to re-invigorate the dollar with a permanent war economy — by staging a war.

To this end, the Yom Kippur War of October 1973 was triggered by a Kissinger-Rockefeller-Bilderberger Nexus to reset oil prices to reforge the US FED cartel with a Petro-dollar, gaslight vassal states to buy US weapons and weaken governments with a world debt crisis, as William Engdahl’s A Century of War and Gods of Money reveal.

This reset deepened the economic might of the American Empire forged after WWII.

The plot sparked an oil price shock to establish the Petro-Dollar System. America supported Israel, which was intended to stoke anger from the Arab nations. This ‘wedge of war’ was constructed by ensnaring the Syrians, Egyptians and Israelis into misunderstanding the situation. After successfully stoking the tensions to cause a short war, Kissinger’s ‘shuttle diplomacy’ playbook involved brokering step-by-step agreements for withdrawals, by flying to the capitals of the warring sides to convey the proposals. The war became necessary due to the failures of the Six Day War.

In 1975, through informal channels, the U.S. struck a deal to back Israel no matter what, if the Zionist state agreed to act as America’s aircraft carrier in the mid-East.

Potently, this deal underwrote the Zionist Project which had suffered a serious set-back in 1967, when a war was halted on the sixth day, despite over two years of planning, training and logistical support from the United States of America, Britain, France, Australia and Canada to back Israel. On June 8 1967, an aircraft carrier, the USS America, was involved in an aborted bombing of Cairo, after the Israeli Defence Force screwed up their staged ‘false flag’ attack on the USS Liberty, which was supposed to be sunk. This botched attack on the USS Liberty was intended to be the pretext to bring America into the Six Day War of 1967, and was the real reason why the war lasted only six days. The bombing of Cairo was called off by Secretary of State Robert McNamara, and U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson, after the Liberty broadcast a Mayday call and Israel’s airforce and navy failed to sink the spy ship. Crucially, the operation’s failure meant Israel had to play a long game to forge a Greater Israel.

Just as the Yom Kippur War of October 1973 was orchestrated to re-invigorate the Fed Cartel’s U.S. dollar, the Iranian Revolution of 1979 was engineered by British and American intelligence to set off an ‘Arc of Crisis’ across the Near East. It was designed to spill over into the Muslim regions of the Soviet Russian Empire. And that stirring, occurred merely three years after the Saudi Royals had been brought into a subversive intelligence, paramilitary and narcotics network called the Safari Club, by CIA Director, George H. W. Bush, to bankroll the chaos — featuring Islamic terrorism.

Governments were weakened by the two staged oil shocks in 1973-74 and 1978-79, since the high energy prices caused exports to drop, which meant taxes on imports plummeted amid stagnant economic conditions. States borrowed from the IMF. Then came the ‘IMF Lockstep’ with the ‘1980s Project’. The IMF imposed its ‘structural adjustments’, insisting governments corporatize public infrastructure, state-owned commercial trading entities and public services, followed by privatizations.

Meanwhile, in 1979 and 1980, N.Z.’s Prime Minister, Robert Muldoon, led a virtual double-life as chairman of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank board of governors. These top banking positions placed him in a position to ‘borrow’, and, in effect, symbolically signalled N.Z. was about to become the First World’s pre-eminent Shock Therapy test lab. With these co-governance arrangements, Kiwis would be on the hook to repay credit lines that funded ‘Think Big’ infrastructure, and the rising debt from these development projects, as well as borrowings from the IMF, were used as excuses to impose ‘structural adjustments’ on the New Zealand economy.

Yet, the strategic sabotage of New Zealand’s industry was the logical consequence of the ‘Erebus Disaster’ of 1979, an air terrorism event that communicated a threat to move bureaucratic mountains for the envisaged trans-corporate heist of the economy.

The crash occurred on November 28, the same day that Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s South Pole team first sighted the Trans-Antarctic Mountains last thing at night on November 28 1911, on his fateful last expedition. The flight coordinates for the Air New Zealand DC10 aircraft had been changed and yet the airline didn’t tell crew.

On November 29 1979, a U.S. Navy Hercules aircrew sighted the DC-10 wreckage, and radioed a few minutes before 1am that they saw no survivors. It was on November 29th 1910, that Captain Robert F. Scott’s Terra Nova sailed from Port Chalmers, at 3pm.

The U.S. Navy had been searching in the wrong places. The U.S. Navy, who had control over the flight tower at McMurdo, did not establish what the changed final waypoint destination flight coordinates were, when the flight path was transmitted to McMurdo Station after the plane took off. Justice Peter Mahon suspected foul play. He didn’t believe the misleading coordinates sent to McMurdo were yet another error.

Ergo, this polar tragedy-themed disaster was staged as a cryptic threat to elites attuned to metaphor-laden signals; flight plans could be changed any time, any place.

Consequently, New Zealand’s political trajectory was jolted by this catalytic event.

Moreover, the parallel placement of Prime Minister Robert Muldoon as the chairman of the IMF and the World Bank, became a portentous omen, since his position as finance minister meant he was also the sole shareholder of the state-owned airline.

Thus, the DC-10 wreckage on Mount Erebus served as an eerie talisman to the Western Élites attuned to such symbol sorcery. The matrix code said move bureaucratic mountains to forge of a global super economy, or more mountains will move in front of flight crews, any time. After all, Edmund Hillary was supposed to be the commentator on the fatal flight. But, the world’s most famous mountaineer, who was climbed Mount Everest ‘first’, was double-booked to speak at a business conference sponsored by the American Chamber of Commerce. It was the second time the Knight Commander of the British Empire narrowly missed a fatal flight.

On December 16 1960, Sir Edmund Hillary was due to be on board United Flight 826, bound for International Airport (Idlewild Airport), but he was late after getting stuck in traffic. A Trans World Airlines-owned Lockheed Super Constellation, Flight 266, collided in mid-air with the United Airlines-owned Douglas DC-8. The New York Air Disaster/Park Slopes Air Disaster, as it is variously known, was a take-down by the COREA Group in Frankfurt, part of the Deutsche Verteidigungs Dienst (DVD), according to Michael Shrimpton. Evidently, German spymaster Admiral Wilhelm Canaris and his deputy, General Leutnant Erwin von Lahousenin, set up the DVD in 1943 and 1944, after Sophie Scholl made it clear Germany couldn’t win World War II.

The alleged take-down of the TWA-United Airlines flights on December 16 1960 occurred simultaneously to President John F. Kennedy announcing that Robert Kennedy would be Attorney-General. The effect was that the airliner crash displaced the news of the Kennedy Presidency’s big announcement, that his brother would be attorney general, as can be seen on the front-page of the New York Times the following day. ‘Coincidentally’, the United Flight 826 Douglas DC-8 jetliner was bound for what was then officially known as International Airport, and it was subsequently renamed John F. Kennedy International Airport — after JFK was assassinated. Therefore, it would seem the German DVD had engineered the ‘TWA-UA’ collision to signal to those in the American Deep State aligned with the German DVD, that a take-down of the Kennedy Presidency was needed for their mutual self-preservation.

Shrimpton says it is easy for the DVD to cause an air crash in conditions of poor visibility, by introducing a fake radio beacon while disabling the true radio signal.

After-all, Francis Richard Conolly makes an excellent case in his epic documentary, JFK to 9/11: Everything is a Rich Man’s Trick for the penetration of the CIA by Nazis, and the American Oligarchy’s deep state network criss-crossing the FBI, the Mafia and other institutions within federal and state jurisdictions. Conolly argued that John F. Kennedy had fooled mafia bosses into thinking that Robert Kennedy would cease dismantling the mafia once he was elected as president, in exchange for mafia support.

CIA Directors Allen ‘von’ Dulles and Richard ‘von’ Helms were DVD, says Shrimpton, and therefore the reprehensible JFK Assassination is more comprehensible.

As such, the Mount Erebus Disaster makes more sense, particularly when it is recalled that the governance over the Antarctic Flights by the Civil Aviation Division was lax.

The thematic date riffing codification embedded in the take-down of Air New Zealand Flight TE901 is the dead give-away of a carefully planned air terrorism plot. The metaphor-laden matrix code performed simultaneously as an exhibition of spectacular power and as signals intelligence communicating a threat to move bureaucratic mountains for the envisaged trans-corporate heist of the economy.

There was only so much that a National Government could achieve, because if the prickly Muldoon had tried to implement the envisaged economic restructuring, his government would have fallen amidst a back-lash from manufacturers, farmers,
business owners and other primary producers. The economic heist required planning.

Muldoon was stuck between an oligarchic rock and a hard labour place. Proponents of a market economy, which was a sanitized term to describe technocratic neo-feudalism (later dubbed neoliberalism), had tried to persuade Muldoon. But, what they proposed was full-blown economic warfare that would up-end businesses, including farms, as well as privatize state trading entities and cause hardship. And, the labour unions would not give any ground on demands for wage and salary increases to keep pace with high inflation — as a result of crises ultimately caused by the planet’s Overlords.

➳ The Fix — “Ostriches … are not merely careless birds.”

The structural power of a criminal syndicate relies on the compromised machinary of public offices, to save its members from raids, judges who accept reduced charges, police super-intendants who sabotage investigations, and journalists who censor critical context. While violence gains territory for a syndicate, ‘the fix’ allows the criminal network to keep it, make economic gains, consolidate power, and plan bolder moves. The capacity to lean on ‘the fix’ grants the underworld degrees of acceptance within the Establishment to pull off audacious power crimes, especially when those with eyes attuned to its workings see the hidden wiring turning up in periodic crises.

‘The fix’ is the right relationships, denoted by the verb connected, rather than unsubtle titles like Mafia or Cosa Nostra, as George Wolf described the term in an American context when he wrote, Frank Costello: Prime Minister of the Underworld, to recount his three decade entwinement as a lawyer with ‘The Godfather’. Likewise, when the national security state apparatus, or central government officials, wittingly participate in a catalytic staged crisis, the rupture is permanent with the visible public state. It is the moment when matters ‘stop making sense’, and key players ‘cross the Rubicon’.

The expression ‘crossing the Rubicon’ has its origins when General Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon River in 49 B.C. with his army; an act that broke the law and was a provocation for war with the leader of the Rome, Pompey. The expression is commonly used to mean that the ‘point of no return’ has passed and the severance is irreversible.

Members of criminal syndicates perform hostage exchange rituals, to signal chess moves, in accordance with game theory, as Snoopman snoop-splained in the introduction to this series, “Darkest Days by Dates Down Under”. A failure to post oneself as a hostage to communicate cooperation of a player representing a key role, a critical institution, or an important vested interest when a plot is in play — is taken as a defection, to be met with swift and stiff punishments, which maintains discipline.

Game theory was developed during the Cold War to stabilize the power structures of the Russian Empire and the American Empire. In their paper, “Resolving social conflicts through hostage posting: theoretical and empirical considerations”, Gideon Keren and Werner Raub noted that “tacit communications of threats and promises are two major message strategies used to influence the behaviours of others”. Being seen to advance the game with parallel, or mirrored moves, is a mechanism to construct stability and is predicated on a provisional promise to cooperate, if other players post hostages too. Such rituals create data for criminal investigations into crimes of power.

In this way, criminal coalitions embed events with encoded metadata to communicate unity that they are advancing a syndicate game to signal promises and threats, to telegraph caution and control in the inevitable scandals, while exploiting crises.

A syndicate’s signalling can take many forms, such as posting directors on multiple corporate boards, cross-ownership of stocks, bonds and securities, tabling directives, and holding press conferences with symbol-laden numerical, or metaphorical, drops.

In the bitter aftermath of the DC-10 takedown on Erebus in 1979, the Police Super-intendant Brian Wilkinson shut-down the investigation, without any prosecutions, because he was told to ‘make it go away’, as Paul Holmes wrote in his 2011 book, Daughters of Erebus. N.Z.’s news media couldn’t have cared less. ‘The fix’ was still on.

N.Z.’s Civil Oligarchy was reforged in the ensuing corporate heist of the economy.

The mangling of the country re-made the New Zealand Edition of the Monopoly Board, and is a twisty time-travelling tale for a future dispatch of The Snoopman Files.

Key Finding: New Zealand’s banking industry is restructuring its mechanisms to tether ‘citizens’ as chattel capital in their roles as customers, clients, consumers, cogworkers, contractors and chummy capitalists with trackable transactions in a blockchain currency with programmable features on a totalitarian trajectory to evolve into bipedal biometric cloud cells.

These 13 secrets of banking show how the human monkey in New Zealand, are farmed as tax slaves to finance public debt that is conjured from private credit every Thursday afternoon in private. 
The 13th secret — thematic historical date-riffing — reveals the hidden wiring that connects the entire componentary of the banking cartel, to signal cooperation as criminals to ‘the fix’.

Post-Script: The practice of embedding events with the recidivist prime number 13 to symbolize a financial oligarchy, was first expressed by Simon Johnson and James Kwak in their 2010 book, 13 Bankers. Intriguingly, when thirteen bankers met with Obama at the White House on Friday 27 March 2009, they were told by America’s first black president: “My administration is the only thing between you and the pitchforks.” Barack Obama’s task was to impress on the thirteen Wall Street bankers that they desist from bragging in the public media about their enormous bonuses, following the tax-funded public insurance bail-outs of their banks, as the authors of the 2010 book, 13 Bankers, revealed. The bankers pitched in. This was not the first time that the financial-political oligarchy symbolically communicated with the prime number thirteen, via Barack Obama. When a $700 billion bailout bill was voted down in the US House of Representatives, Obama was assigned the task of convincing 13 ‘black caucus’ Democrat members of the US Senate, as The Washington Post reported in an article headlined, “Bush enacts historic financial rescue: House passes plan by wide margin, but stocks keep falling”. Not surprisingly, when JP Morgan Chase was fined in late 2013 for underwriting fraudulent home mortgage securities that led to the Global Financial Crisis, the Department of Justice arrived at the figure of $13 billion. With this public drop of the number 13, the DOJ signalled that ‘the fix’ was in.

The practice of metaphorically codifying events by dates occurred to Snoopman while writing his A-Grade thesis on the Global Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, when he found that the financial authorities met on April 15 2008 to discuss a plan called “Break the Glass”, to rescue the FIRE economy (Finance, Insurance and Real Estate). The ‘Firemen’ (at the US Treasury and Federal Reserve) shelved the symbolically-titled plan until Wall Street set up Lehman Brothers to crash. Since April 15 is the deadline for American wage and salary earners to file their income tax returns, the Fed and Treasury ‘firemen’ were signalling who would be on the hook to pay for the bailouts of Gotham’s bankers, once they ‘broke the glass’ of the Break the Glass plan to sound the alarm, retrieve the fireman’s axe, and douse Wall Street with high-pressure hard cold cash. 

Yet, Snoopman didn’t realise that metaphor-laden date riffing was systemic componentary across the West, and in N.Z., it has been in use since a foundational event: the Ballantynes’ Fire.

Back when Steve Snoopman forged his superpower to ‘Thunk Evil Without Being Evil’ while writing a thesis on the Global Financial Crisis, he came across the book 13 Bankers: The Wall Street Takeover and the Next Financial Meltdown. Upon quipping Batman had failed to bust any Gotham banker’s balls — since Bruce Wayne’s ass is owned by DC Comics — he consequently realized New Zealand needed a Snoopman.

➳ This 15th anniversary dispatch locates the Christchurch Earthquake as one of numerous staged disasters. New Zealand’s issues, scandals and crises are thematically encoded with historical riffs to signal authorship, unity, scapegoats and caution — while telegraphing hidden aims — in plain sight. New Zealand’s staged crises occur with spooky precision-timing to riff off historical events so that the newsmaking psycho-dramatic terror theater, simultaneously performs as cryptic signals intelligence, boasts its ritualized spectacular power and functions to maintain discipline among a sinister cryptocracy that rules the nation from the shadows. 

The staging of these metaphor-laden crises have continued unchecked, in spite of a pattern of cover-ups — involving the authorities — that have been readily obvious to many newsrooms, current affairs units and documentary production companies willing to take a second look. As such, this unsanitized exposure is one of roughly 30 crises over the best part of eight decades. It contains enough spoilers to make the official narratives go flaccid like unwatered house plants in the sunlight, and reveals the inadequacies of ‘watchdogs’ to dive deep into the dark.

➳ Introduction: Christchurch Earthquake, 22 February 2011 — Death Toll: 185

The Christchurch Earthquake of 22 February 2011 is widely believed to be a natural disaster. The 6.3M aftershock, which was part of the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence that commenced on September 4 2010, is most remembered for being a devastating jolting quake that killed approximately 180; some trapped in rubble perished slowly.

One of the enduring mysteries of the Christchurch Earthquake was what possessed a transnational oil drilling company, Anadarko, to gain approval from New Zealand’s Economic Development Ministry (MED) to conduct seismic testing for oil and gas in the Canterbury Basin within four hours of the earthquake striking Christchurch.

How uncanny that the quake, which killed 185, just happened to occur on the same day, when the Kapuni Well in Taranaki first produced gas and liquid hydrocarbons in February 22 in 1962. This correspondence appears meaningless. Except, since New Zealand’s Economic Development Ministry approved of Anadarko’s seismic testing for oil and gas in the Canterbury Basin, later the same afternoon as the quake, the expected earthquake belies the tell-tale sign of a drilling-themed staged disaster.

Former Māori Television news and current affairs editor, Steve Snoopman, explores the circumstantial evidence that the Canterbrury Earthquake Sequence — which was reported to have clocked up 13,000 aftershocks — had geophysical warfare hallmarks.

This catalytic event was fixed to be a diabolical ‘worst of type disaster’, and joins up with the Snoopman’s Darkest Days by Dates Down Under series, starting with the Mount Erebus Disaster in 1979 and ending with the Manawanui Grounding in 2024.

And with his Staged Disasters Down Under series: the Ballantynes’ Fire, 18 November 1947; Tangiwhai Disaster, 24 December 1953; Brynderwyn Bus Tragedy, 7 February 1963; Kaimai DC-3 Disaster, July 3 1963; and the Wahine Disaster, 10 April 1968.

However, the quake failed to surpass the 1931 Napier Earthquake’s death toll of 256,
and so February 22 2011 didn’t rank as New Zealand’s number one “darkest day”. That ‘gong’ remains with the planners behind the Erebus Disaster of November 28 1979.

The withdrawal of building codes oversight, lax earthquake risk management and sabotage of the rescue operations were strategically designed to maximize the casuality toll, when the big quake hit Christchurch “on cue” in February 2011.

This cruel callousness is borne out by the gleefully thematic historical date riffs.

Brazenly, ‘the news’ is weaponized as a vector conveying codified signals that the ‘incidents’ were staged. Date riffs are a key detectable sign communicating threats, cooperation, authorship, and to telegraph covert objectives, scapegoats and rewards.

This historical riffing pattern reveals a ‘matrix code’ used by transnational deep state networks to signal their chess-moves to one another as a looming season of hostilities approaches, and into the aftermath to control the damage as allegiances are jolted.

As a modus operandi, such historical riffing signals authorship, cooperation, caution and to telegraph objectives. The signals indicate players are communicating their cooperation to take a plot ‘live’, convey hidden objectives, and to broadcast psychotic humour, thereby posting themselves like hostages — as applied game theory predicts.

Citing scientists who found earthquake precursor anomalies prior to the Darfield and the Christchurch earthquakes in Canterbury New Zealand, as well as the M9 Tōhoku Earthquake in Japan on March 11 2011, Snoopman traces the trail of these geophysical precursor anomalies. In the subsection, “The EMF Connection in an Electro-Magnetic Cosmos”, he cites studies showing the total electron content of the ionosphere increased dramatically over the epicentre, before the quakes struck.

Moreover in September 2016, a Japanese earthquake study found the solar and lunar motions cause changes in the tidal stress state, which may trigger earthquakes. Thus harnessing data about tidal stress state in seismic regions can improve probabilistic earthquake forecasting, especially for extremely large earthquakes, the scientists said.

Their work indirectly corroborated a New Zealand amateur forecaster, Ken Ring, who had forewarned of an earthquake for Christchurch eight days prior, citing lunar activity. Ring was scapegoated as a pariah in the media, while newsrooms missed the point that earthquake forecasting, though rudimentary, was possible.

To this end, Snoopman sketches the possible technologies, mechanisms and institutions that may have been harnessed for ‘seismic unrest’ with horrific impact.

Intriguingly, the Canterbury (Christchurch) Earthquake sequence, as well as the Kaikōura Earthquake sequence coincided with the presence of American ‘deep state’ actors in New Zealand, and when the country was hosting multi-national military contingents, and also when there was (were) a seismic survey ship(s), in the quake zones. The apparent hidden objectives are explored in these uncanny ‘coincidences’.

In week prior to the Christchurch Earthquake, the Air Force No 40. Squadron had conducted a combat and disaster relief exercise over the Canterbury Plains. And from February 21 to March 10, New Zealand’s Defence Force was to host a biannual multi-national exercise, Southern Katipo 2011, at Timaru and Omaru. But, it was cancelled.

The ‘coincidence’ of drills, exercises and war-games occurring simultaneously to a shooting, bombing or a hijacking, or other crisis provides the cover for deep state actors to take the training scenarios live, by leveraging a national security state’s compartmentalized operation classifications. Transnational cyptocratic dark states can exploit the confusion about whether the phenomena is an exercise or a real world situation, while maintaining plausible deniability about the ‘coincidences’.

The earthquakes may have been engineered and inflicted as aggressive events to re-integrate New Zealand into the Anglo-American Empire after three decades of cooled relations over the ANZUS military alliance rift, and the Rainbow Warrior Bombing.

The signing of a US-NZ political-military-economic agreement called the ‘Wellington Declaration’ in the capital city on November 4 2010 by Hillary Clinton all but ended the rift. The subsequent visit to New Zealand by John Kerry on November 13 2016 just hours before the Kaikōura Earthquake, also coincided with the first visit of a US Navy ship to New Zealand waters in 33 years — and seemed to signal a price was paid.

Snoopman presents the supposition that New Zealand is a closet pivot state; meaning key insiders of the national security state periodically inflict engineered ‘deep events’ — in collaboration with their Western counterparts — to pivot the Western aligned countries deeper into the Empire’s orbit. The events deserve a second look.

Ergo, there lurks another layer to New Zealand’s recent past and the trail of meta-data reveals encrypted ‘glyphs’ or ‘runes’ of a network who ‘hex’ targets in terrible tricks.

Snoopman’s time travelling tale traces an epitome of evil most of his fellow monkeys might thunk could only happen in horror novels, epic noir flicks or grim stage plays.

As such, this heretical dispatch teaches snoop-readers how to apply Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie logic to Nancy Drew or Scooby Doo enduring mysteries, current crimes and unfolding news events in order to spot-light the spooky darkness.

Key Findings: The re-integration of New Zealand into the Anglo-American Empire was, in effect, ‘book-ended’ by the two earthquake sequences, Canterbury and Kaikōura. The precision timing of the Christchurch Earthquake struck a drilling-themed historical riff to signal a significant milestone in this re-integration theater.

This re-integration theater featured political, commercial and martial aspects. Chess moves were made in plain sight either on the news, or in government and corporate reports, as players posted themselves as ‘hostages’ in accordance with game theory.

Such ‘hostage exchanges’ are calculated to stabilize relations as power structures undergo transformations. The cryptic symbol sorcery that is codified into the metaphor-laden events belie a transnational network that Snoopman calls the cryptocratic dark state. By inflicting Trojan horse catalytic crises, this cryptocracy seeks to transform New Zealand into a technofeudalist digital dystopia without the public quite realizing how they are being played. The crises traumatise families, divide communities and entrain the population to accept the creepy ‘desired solutions’.

➳ One of New Zealand’s Darkest Days: A Case of Militarized Disaster-Terrorism?

Snapshot: At 12:51pm on Tuesday February 22 2011, a 6.3M aftershock struck Christchurch, jolting the city with destructive force, killing 185. The quake riffed off the historical date, February 22 1962, when the Kapuni Well in Taranaki first produced gas and liquid hydrocarbons. About four hours after the earthquake, the American oil drilling company, Anadarko, gained approval from New Zealand’s Economic Development Ministry (MED) to conduct seismic testing for oil and gas in the Canterbury Basin. Ergo, an oil-exploration-themed metaphor was laden into the engineered earthquake to signal a coup d’état was inflicted to advance economic integration, as well as to deepen the military re-integration of New Zealand back into the Western Alliance.

The 6.3 magnitude Christchurch Earthquake — which struct at lunchtime, 12.51pm, on 22 February 2011 — was devastating. The death toll was 185 people, including 115 in the Canterbury TV building, 18 in the Pyne Gould building, and 8 on Red Bus #702, while approximately 5,800 were injured and over 100,000 homes damaged.

The Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, which included the 6.3M Christchurch Earthquake of 22 February 2011, was reported to have clocked up 13,000 aftershocks.

The quake finished the job off following the 7.1M Darfield quake of September 4 2010.

Potently, this 7.1M Darfield quake, which kicked off the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, struck with codified themes of banking, cathedral fund-raising and even telegraphing the next disaster. Given the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, commenced with the Darfield Earthquake of September 4th 2010, and would lead to a costly rebuild after the enormous damage that occurred during the Christchurch Earthquake, what are the odds, that on September 4th 1840, the New Zealand Banking Company opened its head office on Turner’s Terrace, Kororareka (now Russell)?

And how uncanny that on September 4 1842, New Zealand’s first Anglican Bishop, George Augustus Selwyn, preached in Nelson to raise funds for the construction of a cathedral? After all, numerous churches were predictably damaged on September 4 2010. And, on February 22 2011, the damages to the Anglican and Catholic cathedrals were catastrophic. Yet, the 7.1M Darfield quake also telegraphed the direction the cryptocratic dark state was headed with their next staged ‘disaster’. What are the odds that on September 4 1868, the Westport to Hokitika telegraph started operation?

Uncanny, because it was gold and coal mining that fuelled a boom on the West Coast in the 1860s. Spookily, the Pike River Coal Mine would explode on November 19 2010, precisely 42 years after the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, the USS America sailed into Wellington Harbour. Given that the day November 19, leaves 42 days left in the year, it is worth observing that at the time of the Pike River Disaster, Bank of America was among three Wall Street banks with shares in a Perth-based coal-mining company, Bathurst Resources, which later became New Zealand’s largest coal-mining company.

Naturally, earnest efforts to shutdown, or red sticker, seriously at-risk buildings after the 7.1M jolt, were stymied in order to ensure the February 22 2011 would be a contender as a ‘worst of type disaster’. To qualify, it would need to kill more than 256 humans, and thereby surpass the Napier Earthquake of 1931 in which 256 perished.

The quake, which was hoped to be ‘a worst of type disaster’, coincided with the presence of American ‘deep state’ actors in N.Z., and when the country was hosting multi-national military contingents, and also when there was (were) a seismic survey ship(s), in the quake zone, while HMNZS Canterbury was docked at Lyttleton Port.

The epicenter of the M6.3 aftershock on February 22 2011 was 5 kms below Heathcote Valley in the Port Hills, right on a sub-surface fault structure. The Cracroft Caverns Laboratory in Cashmere were but a ‘stone’s throw’ distance from this Port Hills fault.

The 5-second rupture started from a small fault about 8 to 10 kilometers long located under the Port Hills, near the city. The quake started in hard volcanic rock in short energetic waves and moved to soft sediment rock that reverberated under the city, which increased the amplitude in longer and slower waves to become violent jolts.

The date meta-data is the dead giveaway an American-themed engineered earthquake.

It would appear that the transnational oil drilling company, Anadarko, got the jump when it gained approval from the Economic Development Ministry (MED) to conduct seismic testing for oil and gas in the Canterbury Basin, just over four hours after the 6.3M Christchurch Earthquake on February 22 2011. Canterbury Basin extends from south of Christchurch to south of Dunedin. In 2010, Anadarko Petroleum Corp gained approval to operate a frontier exploratory well with Origin Energy Resources NZ Ltd in an area 40 miles east of Dunedin in the southern part of the basin. The February 22 2011 quake, which killed 185, just happened to occur on the historical date, Feb. 22 1962, when the Kapuni Well in Taranaki first produced gas and liquid hydrocarbons.

And so, the Ministery of Economic Development’s Crown Minerals reassured Anadarko that the Chrsistchurch Earthquake wouldn’t hinder their seismic tests.

At 5.28pm, Feb. 22, Crown Minerals geologist David Witkowski sent an email to Bruce Morris, of BDM Consulting, and British-based Simon Robinson, Anadarko’s seismic acquisition specialist, saying Anadarko’s application to begin seismic data acquisition in the “afternoon or evening of February 23” should not be hindered by the quake.

The US-based Anadarko and and the Australian-based Origin Energy announced on February 25 2010, they had signed a deal in which Anadarko bought a 50 per cent interest in Origin’s offshore exploration permit, PEP 38262, in the Canterbury Basin.

Origin said it had commenced evaluation studies in the area in 2005, the year after the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004 sought to over-ride the 2003 decision of the New Zealand Court of Appeal regarding customary rights to the foreshore and seabed. Delivered on June 19 2003, in Attorney-General v Ngāti Apa [2003] 3 NZLR 643, this landmark ruling over-turned decades of precedent and held that the Māori Land Court had jurisdiction to determine whether areas of the foreshore and seabed had the status of Māori customary land. Consequently, no petroleum block permits were granted in 2004, according to the Goverment’s Petroleum and Minerals agency.

The date June 19 2003, was potent because it was on June 19 1861 that the New Zealand Bank Bill was introduced into the House of Representatives. This Bank Bill would establish the Bank of New Zealand, which would become the conduit for financing the escalation of the New Zealand Masonic Revolutionary War of 1860-72.

This Masonic Revolutionary War, which is commonly referred to as the New Zealand Land Wars, was the consolidation stage to fulfil the Conquest Element of the ‘Doctrine of Discovery’, which the European Cannon Powers exercised by stealth. The Doctrine of Discovery, which was a legal code that the European cannon powers applied to territories of the ‘New World’ to claim as colonial possessions, justified on the basis that peoples who lacked Christianity automatically had less political rights.

New Zealand Anadarko spokesman Alan Seay said seismic acquisition of data took place “more or less continuously 24 hours a day” between February 23 and March 28.

Economic Development Ministry spokeswoman Tracy Dillimore confirmed the application for seismic line tails should have been approved on February 22, but was not officially signed off until February 28. What are the odds that this approval to conduct seismic testing for oil and gas in the Canterbury Basin was formally granted on February 28 2011, given that on the same day February 28 in 1853, the boundaries for the province of Canterbury as well as Wellington, Nelson, Otago and New Plymouth (subsquently changed to Taranaki in 1858), were defined by proclamation under the Constitution Act 1852, by Freemason Governor Bro. George Grey?

In 2011, no new permits to prospect, explore, or mine for petroleum were issued. The Key Government repealed the governance over the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004, which was designed to circumvent Māori customary title claims to include customary rights. The Key led-Government’s Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 was passed by Parliament 30 days after the Christchurch quake, on March 24 2011.

Given the electromagetic technology used to prospect offshore for oil, what are the odds that on March 24 1902, the Pacific Cable landed at Doubtless Bay, North Island.

Indeed, in the two years before the Christchurch Earthquake there were only two oil and gas prospecting permits granted, while the Key Government went through the process of negotiating the repeal to governance over the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004, to include customary rights with Māori. Given this exploration-themed earthquake disaster, it is intriguing to observe that the MV Rena ran aground on Astrolabe Reef on October 5 2011. The Rena broke apart on the reef, and the ensuing oil spill was described at the time as New Zealand’s worst environmental disaster.

The reef was named by Jules Dumont d’Urville after his ship Astrolabe, when it nearly ran aground there on 16 February 1827. The name Astrolabe derives from an early navigational instrument, the astrolabe, a precursor to the sextant — used by Cook.

In turn, the Rena ran aground on the same day that a historical secret meeting of the New Zealand Company held in London, October 5 1840, to negotiate with Lord John Russell for official recognition. The settlement company’s meeting with the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies occurred at a pivotal time. Three days prior, Queen Victoria approved Governor William Hobson’s proclamation of sovereignty over the whole of New Zealand on October 2nd 1840, via the London Gazette. As Snoopman had compellingly argued in his dispatch, “Deep History of Waitangi: The Queen Victoria Connection”, the mission to treat with the aboriginal and indigenous tribes of New Zealand was theater, and paper sovereignty was gained by other pieces of paper. Indeed, six days after the nine Waitangi Treaty parchments arrived in London on November 10 1840, the Queen’s Royal Seal would be used to erect a colony with a Royal Charter. This chess move was about optics, since the ruse was to construe that ‘the natives’ willingly signed away, or ceded, sovereignty — with the English version.

The British Masonic takeover of New Zealand couldn’t be initiated through Parliament because such chess moves would alert agents of the rival cannon powers. And so, the route was commenced through Buckingham Palace, first with a boundary extension by Letters Patent to expand the jurisdiction of New South Wales around NZ.

As a thematic riffing motif codified into the Rena Grounding, this correspondence functioned as signals intelligence that this ‘disaster’ was a staged event. The in-built threat communicated that the cryptocracy possesses the spectacular power to make themed disasters occur at a time, place and of a type of their choosing, by magnitude. Indeed, the cryptocracy was demanding official recognition, or the disasters could be more horrific, more frequent or more targetted, to overwhelm the state’s resources.

New Zealand’s cryptocratic dark state had telegraphed a threat about ‘recognition’.

Given the codified petroleum exploration-thematic metaphor laden into the timing of the Christchurch Earthquake and the disaster precursor-and-aftermath signalling, what are the odds that Christchurch would have the ‘good fortune’ to qualify in the first muster of the Rockefeller Brother’s 33 ‘resilient cities’ in 2016.

On September 13^th 2016, the Christchurch City Council signed the ‘Resilience Pledge’ and earmarked 10 percent of the city’s 2017/2018 expenditure to build the city’s ‘resilience’. Four weeks before her re-election, Mayor Lianne Dalziel signed the pledge, which was an endorsement of the central government’s ‘100 Days’ blueprint that had over-rode the City Council’s redevelopment plan based on the peoples’ ideas.

Mayor Dalziel had campaigned on a platform that the City Council would drive the redevelopment rather than central government. In 2013, Mayor Bob Parker, withdrew from the electoral race after he clashed with the ministers of the Key Government over their control of the rebuild. The 100 Resilient Cities initiative supposedly sought to address chronic stresses like unemployment and inefficient or overtaxed public transport, and acute shocks like earthquakes, floods and terrorist attacks.

Given the dissatisfaction of Cantabarians with the insurance and construction cartel, what are the odds that Resilence Pledge signing on September 13 2016, riffed off the historical date of September 13 1840, when dissatisfied New Zealand Company colonists from Wellington arrived at Auckland aboard the barque Platina? Especially, since Cantabarians sought employment in Auckland and Wellington after the quake.

With this dissatisfaction metaphor-laden event, Cantabarians were being mocked.

This ostensibly wholesome Rockefeller Foundation initiative is ironic given that when the super-rich David Rockefeller was chairman of the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations (1970-1985), this global policy-shaping think-tank spear-headed the stealthy ‘1980s Project’. This was a blueprint for the North Atlantic capitalist class to re-assert their dominance over the world through the Shock Doctrine economic warfare framework. The Rockefeller’s fortune was made by forging the Standard Oil cartel. ExxonMobil merged the New Jersey and New York Standard Oil properties.

Prior to the Christchurch Earthquake, the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke in Christchurch during her visit to sign the ‘Wellington Declaration’.

The question arises: did Hillary Clinton and her inner circle of State Department officials expect the earthquake to strike on the day it happened — during lunchtime?

Strangely, when an emil subject-lined “6.3 magnitude earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand” was circulated to “OpsAlert” recipients of the U.S. State Department, one State Department Official, Jacob Sullivan, wrote in reaction, “And on cue”.

Mr Sullivan was the State Department’s closest international travelling aide to Hillary Clinton, who at the time was U.S. Secretary of the State in the American Empire’s Obama Regime, which marketed ‘hope and change’, but sold hopium instead.

The email became public in March 2016, and was among the WikiLeaks’ release of the “Hillary Clinton Email Archive” of emails, media files and other document caches retrieved from the private server owned by Hillary Clinton, of the Clinton Crime Syndicate. This email creates the suspicion that Sullivan and a close circle of recipients, including Hillary Clinton, expected the earthquake to strike on 22.02.2011.

And, as if by some portentous Shakespearean omen, just 10 days prior to the Christchurch Earthquake, the New Zealand Herald reported that the HMNZS Canterbury would be the Australiasian crisis response ship for relief in natural and man-made disasters. The Pacific Partnership is a US-led multi-national ‘Indo-Pacific’ humanitarian and civic assistance project that followed the disaster relief of the horrific December 2004 Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami, as Steven Paget noted in his paper, “COMING FULL CIRCLE: The Renaissance of Anzac Amphibiosity”, published in the Spring 2017 edition of Naval War College Review. Paget’s paper traced the incremental re-binding of military ties with the United States following an accommodation period in the aftermath of the ANZUS rift over the NZ Labour Party’s nuclear free zone policy; a rift that widened into a chasm after the Rainbow Warrior Bombing. A planning meeting for the 2011 Pacific Partnership occurred in San Diego on February 16 and 17, at the US Navy’s Third Fleet’s headquarter’s compound.

Commodore Jim Gilmour was on the bridge at the time the earthquake struck.

Previously, Gilmour was the Commanding Officer HMNZS Canterbury when it took part in the NZDF’s humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations following the September 2009 Samoa earthquake and tsunami. Later, he was made Rear Admiral and took over as New Zealand’s Commander of the Joint Forces on Halloween in 2018.

The HMNZS Resolution, a hydrographic survey ship equipped with sonar devices, was tasked with mapping Lyttleton Harbour to gauge any changes to the sea-floor profile.

Two days after the NZ Navy’s HMNZS Canterbury was reported on February 12 2011, to be the new headquarters for Pacific disaster relief, the RNZAF announced on February 14 2011, it was conducting a combat and disaster relief exercise. How uncanny that New Zealand’s Navy multipurpose ship bearing the name Canterbury would be named as the new headquarters for Pacific disaster relief on February 12 2011, given that it was on February 12 1841 that the New Zealand Company received its charter of incorporation. And what are the odds that oin February 14 2011 the Royal New Zealand Air Force would announce a combat and disaster relief exercise?

After all, it was on February 14 in 1872 that Te Kooti was engaged by Government forces for the last time. This combat theme was complimented with a disaster relief historical event, since it was on February 14 1915 that a 500-strong Māori contingent sailed from Wellington. The ‘ANZAC’s were drawn into a so-called ‘disaster’ at Gallipoli. In Prolonging the Agony, Doherty and Macgregor revealed how the British Secret Élite devised the Gallipoli Campaign in the Dardanelles to sacrifice Australian and New Zealand men, to keep the Russians in the war on the Eastern Front. Russian Tsar Nicholas II was promised the port city of Constantinople as a ruse to keep Russian Red Army fighting, amid heavy losses and staving off mutiny. Nicholas II fell for the plot because he failed to realize the point of World War I was to embroil Germany and Russia in an epic conflict that would wreck them, in order to control their development, so that they would smash each other again. And in the process, the British Secret Élite hoped to absorb America into a reforged British Empire.

And so, the combat and disaster relief theming of the February 14th date, worked like signals intelligence that the supplies, logistics and technical support were in place. How apt then that on February 14 1929, the electrification of the Lyttelton Railway Tunnel was completed? Especially, since the University of Canterbury built a new ring-laser gyroscope in the Cashmere Cavern with three quarters of a million dollars, awarded by the Marsden Fund in 2010. Particularly since caverns are in the Port Hills.

How uncanny that the Air Force exercises involved flights over mountainous terrain, air-drops and off-load procedures for combat, disaster relief, and evacuation.

On February 22 2011, the NZ Defence Forces’ inaugural multi-national Exercise Southern Katipo (February 21-March 10), turned into a live disaster relief, such as the Army’s Operation Christchurch Quake 2011. The fact of the Canterbury being berthed at Lyttleton Port was described as “a stroke of good fortune” in 2012 by Jane Parfitt Christchurch City Council’s Environment General Manager. But, that was not all.

The HMNZS Canterbury is joined by HMNZS Otago and HMNZS Pukaki, and the fleet become a “core asset” for disaster-relief operations transporting nearly 2000 tonnes of equipment, and 375 personnel in and out of Lyttelton.

New Zealand’s central government appeared to have heeded the cues featured in the Gibson Group’s 2008 movie, Aftershock, a dramatization of a Wellington earthquake. These cues included the ‘need’ to win the support of the media, control access to the CBD, and to have a swift state response for disaster relief to gain public acclaim.

The Army provided a significant visual presence around the central city Red-Zone with 77 Unimog’s transporting equipment and stores, and 47 Pinzgauer Light Operational Vehicles constantly on the move in the broken city. There were also 28 Light Armoured Vehicles working in the area. More than 300 service personnel staff formed a cordon around the worst affected area of Christchurch’s CBD, operating three eight-hour shifts per day. New Zealand’s Army patrolled the cordon using night vision goggles to prevent looting. There were also 129 Singaporean Armed Forces personnel, who are in N.Z. for Exercise Southern Katipo, to work with the N.Z. Army.

There were 1,768 New Zealand Defence Force personnel who were directly involved in the joint force response to the Christchurch Earthquake in 2011. This joint force was comprised of 239 Navy, 1,379 Army and 150 Air Force regular and reserve personnel.

Meanwhile, in Wellington, scientist Kelvin Berryman, just finished giving a talk to first responders at a Civil Defence Conference on how the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence was not over. Berryman, who worked at GNS Science — which studies earthquakes, among other things — said he and all the emergency responders were flown to Christchurch on an Air Force plane the same afternoon. Ergo, many of the nation’s key emergency response leaders were airlifted into the quake-shaking city straight after the Air Force had rehearsed disaster relief operations the previous week.

And meanwhile, New Zealand’s Central Urban Search and Rescue team were in the midst of a rescue training exercise in Palmerston North when they received a call from their Southern Team counterpart leader, Paul Burns, reporting the earthquake.

But, the Northern Team did not take off from Whenuapai Air Force Base until 8:30pm. The teams did not arrive in Christchurch until around midnight, the same time the New South Wales Urban Search and Rescue team arrived. The Civil Defence and Emergency Management Controller was in charge of activity until the state of emergency was declared on 23 February 2011. Control then formally passed to the Director of the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management. The Minister of Civil Defence, Gerry Brownlee, was also the Minister of Defence. In effect, Christchurch came under martial law amid critical failures in the emergency response.

The plan was to pick up the Central Team in Palmerston North, and head to Christchurch in a trip taking about 90 minutes. Meanwhile, Fire Service National Operations Manager, Jim Stuart-Black, decided to send the Central Team’s 16 tonnes of equipment from Palmerston North to Christchurch by road, ferry and road. This 12-hour journey meant the rescue gear did not arrive at the disaster zone until 6am February 23rd. The Southern Team’s HQ was a mess, and amid blocked roads and with only half the team of 60 able to deploy, they needed help, as Stuff reported in episode 2 of Collapse, a podcast about the rescue and tragedy at the CTV Building.

Yet, the Air Force had flown the emergency responders who were attending a Civil Defence Conference in Wellington to Christchurch the same afternoon. Ergo, many of the nation’s key emergency response leaders were airlifted into the quake-shaking city straight after the Air Force had rehearsed disaster relief operations the previous week.

What are the odds that the Royal New Zealand Airforce switched from a training exercise to a Humanitarian Aid and Disaster Relief (HADR) type scenario. The first flight was an airlift of the “foreign dignitaries: that had been at conference hosted by the United States-New Zealand Council, had a twin theme of plans to forge the Trans-Pacific Partnership economic bloc and Asia-Pacific security. One session was about disaster relief operations, and featured a talk by a retired Coast Guard Admiral Thad Allen, who recalled his experience of the BP-Anadarko oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Air Force’s No.40 Squadron was on the ground in Christchurch when the earthquake hit. They were conducting training and support flights for Exercise Southern Katipo 11. The RNZAF’s Boeing 757s, C-130 Hercules, Kingair and Iroquois helicopters, as well as the P-3K2 Orions moved huge consignments of equipment to the city during the relief effort, as well flying out almost 4300 passengers.

The coincidence of training exercises occurring at the time of a catalytic event, or in the very recent past, is a key sign of a potential looming black operation. Exercises can program monkeys with a scenario to accept a cover-story, once under-cover operatives take a false flag attack ‘live’ and signal a looming season of skullduggery.

Yet, N.Z.’s Urban Search and Rescue efforts were sabotaged. It turns out that Jim Stuart-Black, the Fire Service’s National Manager of Special Operations, based in Wellington, was in charge of the so-called rescue operation at Pike River Mine.

Stuart-Black applied a Co-ordinated Incident Management System (CIMS) structure. This chain of command disrupted the emergency response, as the Royal Commisssion hearings into the ‘Pike River Mine Disaster’ laid bare. Pike River was also staged.

The huge sums poured into the mining project were not to return a profit. But, to keep the black operation going, with a devastating explosion occurring on the 42nd anniversary of an aircraft carrier, USS America, arriving at Wellington Harbour on November 19 1968, with 42 days left in the year, during Lyndon Johnson’s presidency.

The Pike Mine’s sabotage signalled symbol sorcery. The USS America aircraft carrier was involved in an aborted bombing of Cairo, after the Israeli Defence Force screwed up their ‘false flag’ staged attack on the USS Liberty, which was supposed to be sunk.

This staged attack on the USS Liberty was the pretext to bring America into the Six Day War of 1967, and is the real reason why the war lasted only six days. But, the operation’s failure meant Israel had to play a long game to forge a Greater Israel.

In the days prior to and after the Pike River mine explosion of November 19th 2010, Bank of America bought stock in Bathurst Resources, an Australian-based mining firm that had plans to expand as an open-cast mining operator in New Zealand.

Subsequently, Bathurst Resources shifted its headquarters to New Zealand, acquired numerous coal-mining operations, including the defunct state-owned Solid Energy. How uncanny that Solid Energy had been the nation’s largest coal producer, while in the ownership of the State-Owned Enterprises Minister, Simon Powers, and the Finance Minister, Bill English, who were installed as the ministers on November 19 2008, precisely two years before the mine exploded. Particularly, since Solid Energy executived relocated into the Beehive at the beginning of the John Key Ministry. How uncanny given that the Key Government was aware of Solid Energy vulnerablities as a rsult in the world economic downturn and slump in coal prices following the Global Financial Crisis of 2007 to 2008, and yet it insisted on drawing large dividends from Solid Energy and encouraging it to take on debt to upgrade, hire and expand.

Especially, since Solid Energy had functioned as a holding company for Pike River Coal, once the receivers had gutted it like a fish, in the aftermath of the mine exploding. In early 2010, the Commerce Select Committee’s review of Solid Energy’s performance telegraphed the state-owned coal miner would be liquidated once Pike River Coal’s receivership ended. This eventuality was signalled by the Commerce Select Committee’s release on 26 March 2010, of Solid Energy’s performance for the financial year of 2008/2009. This March 26th date struck a mine disaster-themed historical riff, since the Brunner Mine exploded on March 26 1896.

What are the odds that 65 men were killed by a blast and gas in the Brunner Mine Disaster of March 26 1896? The Pike River Mine was cutting into the Brunner Coal Seam in the remote and difficult terrain of the Paparoa Ranges, in the South Island.

The Brunner Mine Disaster remains New Zealand’s deadliest industrial accident.

Ergo, a coal mine-disaster metaphor was embedded into the Commerce Select Committee’s release of the Solid Energy’s performance review for the 2008/2009 year, to telegraph New Zealand’s largest coal miner would be the vehicle to wind down the Pike River Coal Mine in the post-blast stage. Pike was inflicted to discredit under-ground mining, particularly coal, and to advance the re-interegation of New Zealand into the Western Alliance, and to deepen its economic integration into the American Empire. New Zealand was earmarked to become an open-cast mining facility.

Trace elements of a consolidation of this trans-corporate empire can be detected in precursor events to the ‘Pike River Coal Mine Disaster’. On September 24 2009, New Zealand’s Prime Minister John Key, and his nuclear-sized family, visited the New York Stock Exchange where they received a ‘royal tour’ with the CEO. Notably, Key also met a Bank of America stock trader. What are the odds that Key, who owned Bank of America shares, would performatively hold the gavel, on the same day, that eleven men died of asphyxiation in the Glen Afton Mine at Huntly on September 24 1939?

Thus, a mining tragedy-themed metaphor was codified into the ex-banker’s visit, the year before the ticking time bomb, Pike River Mine, exploded with uncanny timing.

An American-themed mine sabotage signified a brutal industrial relations reset.

This isn’t to say that Stuart-Black was a witting accomplice in these staged disasters.

Given the themed-historical date riffing fits with a broader pattern of staged disasters, and the possible technologies that might be used as mechanisms to inflict earthquakes — by leveraging the solar, lunar and tidal forces — it’s critical to note that the cryptocracy exploits individual, institutional and ideological inadequacies.

New Zealand’s Old Boys’ Network is a fertile recruiting ground for cryptocratic skullduggery. Since the cryptocratic dark state stages events with cryptic communications to signal their authorship, threats and to telegraph their objectives, the theming of a particular staged crisis can also be expected to feature a chosen number for collaborating players to signifiy their solidarity with the group game.

The earthquake rebuild data revealed the ‘hidden hand’ of an Old Boys’ Network. The Christchurch Construction Bonanza featured the prime number ‘13’ to codify cartel collusion. By encoding ‘Thirteen’ and its multiples and variants into the key figures of rebuild projects, associated dates and economic data, the Old Boys’ Network could locate one another across public and private sector institutions, communicate the advancement of ‘the game’, with promises, rewards and threats, as weird as it sounds.

As a recidivist character, ‘Thirteen’ also made an appearance at the Coroner’s Inquest, to signal vulnerabilities, caution, and scapegoats to de-escalate a snowballing crisis.

The inquest revealed there had been 13 of the Fire Service’s top brass senior managers in Christchurch late in the evening, and several talked to rescuers at the CTV site. But they left. The Coroner found a command post at the site may have saved some lives.

Since much of the Royal Commission’s focus into the Canterbury Earthquakes was on the structural failure of buildings in Christchurch — causing 175 of the 185 deaths, the pile-up of errors can be seen to have been beyond reasonable negligence.

The Canterbury Television (CTV) Building — a six-story structure, where 115 people perished — was not built to code. The Royal Commission pointed to serious errors by engineers, structural designers and the Christchurch City Council, stating the building design should never have been consented by the Christchurch City Council in 1986. Moreover, there were deficiencies in the buiding’s construction. The building was assessed following the September 4 Darfield Earthquake, and given a green pass finding no damage, but recommended an inspection by a structural engineer.

This inspection was subsequently done and yet the CTV Building remained occupied.

As a recidivist character, ‘Thirteen’ also made appearances in the work of the Royal Commission, to signal caution, vulnerabilities and scapegoats to manage the optics.

It is also noteworthy that a picture of a circular beam in the Canterbury Television Building. featured as “Figure 13” in Volume 6. The image appeared to codify caution to avoid criminal liability, but equally who to scape-goat if the scandal snowballed into a full blown crisis. After all, the CTV building was the site of 115 of the 185 deaths. The number of references for this section in Vol. 6, section 2, were thirteen.

The next most serious building failure was the Pyne Gould Building, which also collapsed in seconds. The Pyne Gould Building, built in 1963, was designed to better withstand a north-south shaking. The commissioners found “failure of the eastern wall initiated the collapse”. Inspections in 1997 by Holmes Consulting Group noted the “potential failure of the columns is a life-safety issue as it could result in the loss of support and consequential collapse of all or part of the building”. The perimeter columns were a structural weakness. When the shear wall failed in the quake, the columns on the east side bore the brunt of the pressure. These columns collapsed and the building crushed 18 workers. A map showing the Pyne Gould Building in relation to the seismic measuring stations in the Christchurch CBD on the day of the quake, was labelled ‘Figure 13’. The map showed the east-west shaking was considerable.

In its final volume, no. 7, the Royal Commission recommended that buildings joined together with un-reinforced masonry be re-evaluated as one building. As an example, the Royal Commission showed before and after photos of the Austral Buildings. The first floor facades collapsed, killing some occupants in Red Bus #702 and pedestrians.

By designating the photo of the horrific scene as ‘Figure 13’, the Royal Commission seemed to signal to go lite on scape-goating Councils, since previous warnings had been ignored. The Royal Commission appeared to codify caution to avoid criminal liability, as well as who to scape-goat to de-risk the scandal from snowballing.

Given that GNS would go on to announce there had been 13,000 aftershocks in the two year period following the 7.1 Mw Darfield Earthquake of September 4 2010, it is noteworthy that GNS’s seismic graphics were transmitted in a letter dated the 13^th of March 2012 to the Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission. Moreover, the GNS graphic showing the aftershocks following the Darfield Earthquake and up to the February 22^nd 2022 Christchurch Earthquake, was tabled as “Figure 13” in volume 1 of the Royal Commission’s June 2012 report. This placement appeared to codify that the Royal Commission had received the signal in the GNS’s letter dated March 13^th.

Apparently, there was no fault to be found in how the earthquakes occurred, since the seismic activities were ‘assumed’ to be natural. Ergo, caution about causality would be directed elsewhere, since hard science seemed to accept a sanitized political science.

The Royal Commission seemed to signal to scapegoat the engineering, standards and inspections regime, rather than also conduct a wider investigation. Forgone, was whether Christchurch had been targetted as a battleground in a geophysical war.

Ergo, the Royal Commission performed as a theater setting for a staged cover-up.

The quake finished the job off started by the 7.1M Darfield quake of September 4 2010.

Engineering firm Beca was contracted by the New Zealand Police to investigate any possible criminal liability following the Royal Commission of Inquiry into deaths due to building collapses. Beca stated that if the Canterbury Television (CTV) building been built to code — it would have been strong enough not to collapse like a pancake.

However, New Zealand’s Police backed away from prosecuting. The Solicitor General warned of high indemnity costs against the Police if they lost the case. Finding out who was culpable seemed secondary. This theater was like a rework of the machinations to protect ‘the Establishment’ over the Pike River Mine Disaster.

The Deputy Solicitor-General, Brendan Horsley advised Police that the Crown Law Office in Wellington, did not “consider the evidential test [was] satisfied” by Police.

Yet, no one asked if the Crown Law Office was conflicted in its interests, since in publicly claiming the evidential test was marginal, the Deputy Solicitor-General had inserted into the record a discoverable ‘weakness’ to weigh upon the Police. The defence could point out that the Christchurch City Council should never have approved the design, nor should it have approved the construction.

Thus, Detective Sup. Int. Peter Read and Canterbury District Commander Sup. Int. John Price were placed in a position to read between the lines: there was a price to pay for failure to build a criminal case to code. Horsley ‘rode’ his trusty steed like a white knight. He saved the City Council from courtroom scrutiny over who exactly was responsible for potential criminal culpability. And, yet another ‘disaster’ for the Old Boys’ Network was averted, and with no prosecutions, the Rebuild Bonanza continued.

This leads to a fair question: were the Police top brass merely entertaining the rank and file, who could be played while they diligently carried out a criminal investigation?

➳ A Gone By Lunchtime Reverb?

At the time of the February 22 2011 Christchurch Earthquake, the United States-New Zealand Council’s 4th Partnership Forum was also taking place in Christchurch. The Forum was attended by a coterie of élites, foreign and domestic. A ‘bond’ was forged.

The 4th United States-New Zealand Partnership Forum was hosted by the United States-New Zealand Council, with major corporate sponsors including U.S. weapons manufacturer, Lockheed Martin. The Forum had a twin theme of plans to forge the Trans-Pacific Partnership economic bloc and Asia-Pacific security. The Forum was disrupted by the earthquake during a luncheon session.

My supposition is that these two themes became charged with epic potency — as intended — when the tail-end of this conference collided with the magnitude 6.3 earthquake, which shook Christchurch at 12.51PM and jolted the city with destructive power from a depth of 5km for 20 seconds. It appears the remaining vestiges of NZ’s ‘isolationist’ anti-nuclear era policy were gone by the end of lunchtime — at least from the National Party’s leadership’s perspective. The phrase ‘gone by lunchtime’ became a cultural meme in 2004, after Foreign Minister Phil Goff, of the Clark Labour-led Coalition Government released notes made by a Foreign Affairs ministry official, who recorded Dr Don Brash saying to two US politicians that the National Party would scrap the ban on nuclear-powered ships “by lunchtime” if elected to power.

It was, therefore, ironic that Phil Goff met with Richard Armitage during the 4th United States-New Zealand Partnership Forum in Christchurch.

Ergo, the last luncheon session of the United States-New Zealand Partnership Forum seemed to be loaded with potency. The question is: can earthquakes be engineered?

Curiously, in a public meeting in the aftermath of the Christchurch Earthquake, John Key twice referred to the quake as “man-made”, before quickly correcting himself.

Recall that Key was schooled in Christchurch? And, that he became London and Wall Street banker after starting out as a currency trader in Christchurch? And, recall that less than a fortnight into his ministry, there was a staged take-down of an Air New Zealand-owned AirBus that crashed into the Mediterranean off the coast of France precisely one year ahead of the 30th anniversary of the Mount Erebus Disaster. As Snoopman has shown, the DC10 crash of Flight TE901 in Antarctica on November 28 1979, was air terrorism inflicted to coerce the key insiders to move bureaucratic mountains for the envisaged trans-corporate takeover of the economy — or more mountains could be moved in front of flight crews at any time, and at any place.

The crash the same day, November 28, that Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s South Pole team first sighted the Trans-Antarctic Mountains last thing at night on November 28 1911, on his fateful last expedition. The flight coordinates for the Air New Zealand DC10 aircraft had been changed hours before take-of; the airline didn’t tell the crew.

Where Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s South Pole team first sighted the Trans-Antarctic Mountains last thing at night on November 28 1911, on his fateful last expedition, Captain Jim Collins and his Air NZ flight crew didn’t see the mountain straight in front of them on November 28 1979. The crytpocracy codifies psychopathic humour as an expression of ritualized terrorism theater exhibiting spectacular power.

Ergo, this polar tragedy-themed disaster was staged as a cryptic threat to élites attuned to metaphor-laden signals; flight plans could be changed any time, any place.

And recall, how it was on John Key’s watch that four major ‘disasters’ followed, and all of them were engineered with the pattern of metaphor-laden historical date riffs?

Therefore, Snoopman advances the supposition that New Zealand is a closet pivot state; meaning key insiders of the national security state periodically inflict engineered ‘deep events’ — in collaboration with their Western counterparts — to pivot the Western-aligned countries deeper into the Anglo-American Empire’s orbit.

Pivot states are located at the seams of the international system, sandwiched between the spheres of influence of great powers or neighbouring a great power. During an Age of Conflict, such as the current Third Hundred Years’ War, pivot states are particularly vulnerable to interference since the world system is undergoing such epic geopolitical tectonic shifts. New Zealand is a soft target for foreign interference.

A shift in a pivot state’s overlapping spheres of interest can reverberate with regional and global security implications, and be locations where great power interests can collide and also clash. Pivot states are usually located at the seams of the international system. In a 2014 paper entitled, “Why are Pivot States so Pivotal? The Role of Pivot States in Regional and Global Security”, New Zealand’s closest international neighbour, Australia was identified as a pivot state for its ‘military strategic goods’.

Ergo, since the Empire remains in the closet, there is a creepy logic that such an oceanic power alliance would require a closet pivot state to be its ‘lighthouse’.

Also on February 20-22 2011, Christchurch hosted the 4th United States-New Zealand Partnership Forum, but it ended abruptly during a luncheon session on the last day. The presence of U.S. government and corporate officials in Christchurch and Wellington at the time of the Christchurch Earthquake of 22.02.2011 becomes more intriguing on examination of their backgrounds, their linkages and their activities.

The US delegation included: Admiral Thad Allen, retired Head of the U.S. Coast Guard; Tim Manning, Deputy Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA); Mariko Silver, Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary; and Richard Kirkland, President, South Asia, Lockheed Martin, and a former Vietnam War Special Forces operative, Richard Armitage.

For example, one of the characters at the 2011 US-NZ Partnership Forum was Admiral Thad Allen, who was the National Incident Commander of the Unified Command for the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010.

The United States-New Zealand Council’s report noted that Allen recounted his experiences as National Incident Commander of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill of 2010 and prior assignments as head of the Coast Guard to deal with the 2005 Hurricane Katrina and the 2010 Haiti Earthquake. The US-NZ Council’s report, “The Power of Partnership: Global Challenges and the Role of the US-NZ Partnership” stated: “Little did [Admiral Thad] or anyone know how timely his remarks on disaster preparedness and response, and lessons learned from the three disparate disasters far from New Zealand, would be starting the following day shortly after noon in Christchurch”.

But, maybe Admiral Thad Allen did know. Anadarko was a 25% minority owner of the Macondo well (MC252) that exploded, while BP owned 65% and acted as the operator.

Therefore, was it rather ‘coincidental’ that Admiral Thad Allen would speak of his past disaster relief work including the Anadarko-BP-Deep Water Horizon oil spill of 2010? Especially given that Anadarko’s seismic testing vessel, MV Aquila Explorer, was was engaged in seismic data acquisition for Anadarko in the Canterbury Basin/Banks Peninsula area at the time of the Christchurch Earthquake.

The February 25 2010 announcement of the deal signed between US-based Anadarko and the Australian-based Origin Energy, in which Anadarko bought a 50 per cent interest in Origin’s offshore exploration permit, PEP 38262, in the Canterbury Basin, was a charged date, given the subequent massacre of civilians on February 22nd 2011.

Potently, it was on February 25 1943 that 48 Japanese prisoners were massacred at Featherston Prisoner of War Camp, some with rapid fire ‘tommy guns’. The reader may think Snoopman is darwing a long snoop-bow with this date correspondence.

However, given that a massacre is the random mass killing of humans, it is notable that the catastrophic M9 earthquake that struck the Tōhoku region in Japan on March 11, 2011, occurred with similar precursor signatures that preceeded the Darkfield Earthquake of September 4 2010, as well as the Christchurch Aftershock of February 22 2011. Moreover, Japan endured 20 years of recession that was inflicted by the Central Bank of Japan to coerce a structural transition to a more import-oriented financialized economy; a re-inflation of economy commenced in 2013 and 2014.

This structural adjustment was imposed at the insistence of American bankers and technocrats to sabotage Japan’s economic rise. In cahoots with Japan’s bank cartel, the Central Bank of Japan encouraged a boom cycle, enticing developers, financiers, and speculators to fuel a property and stockmarket boom in Tokyo, to trigger a bust to coerce change, as the Richard Werner, the author of The Princes of Yen, recounted.

Werner stated history teaches that fundamental changes to a system only occur in crisis conditions. In 1986, a Japanese Advisory Group on Economic Restructuring proposed a 10-year economic reform plan, stating without an historical transformation of Japan’s economic management and lifestyle there would be no further development. The plan would mean the abolition of Japan’s war economy that had been adapted for industrial consumer-focussed production. The Advisory Group proposed that monetary policy could create a historic crisis sufficiently large to overcome the vested interests at the Ministry of Finance, within the political class and among Corporate Japan. The best way to achieve a historic crisis was to create a financial bubble because that way no one stops you, Werner explained on CNBC.

Similarly, New Zealand’s Treasury and Reserve Bank in cahoots with Finance Minister Roger Douglas, imposed structural adjustments on the economy amid the atmosphere of emergency after the 1984 election, during which a currency crisis had been staged.

Meanwhile, the sharemarket was booming, fuelling corporate mergers to prepare the way for a wealth transfer upward and outward, while teethering New Zealand’s economy with Australia, and the trilateral world of North America, Europe and Japan.

Thus, where New Zealand had initially been a push-over to impose such structural adjustments, Japan was a much tougher proposition. And, where New Zealand’s Establishment had been coerced to move bureaucratic mountains to pave the way o the trans-corporate heist of the economy after an Antarctic mountain was moved in front of an Air NZ crew without telling them the flight coordinates had been changed, Japan was subjected to a drawn out economic recession because it was too productive.

Yet, New Zealand ‘ma and pa’ investors were punished for their defiance with the staged mass collapse of finance companies from the mid-2000s over a six year period.

The mangling of New Zealand had faltered in the mid-1990s as the National Government was forced to commence with Waitangi Treaty settlements, triggered by High Court challenges over state assets privatizations, and a widespread public backlash following the bailout of the Bank of New Zealand, and a public inquiry over Fay Richwite’s European Pacific tax evasion scheme. Michael Fay and David Richwhite self-exiled to Switzerland. Subsequently, an asset bubble was inflated to lure ‘ma and pa’ to ‘invest’ in New Zealand finance companies offering higher returns than banks. Predictably, 67 collapsed between 2006 and 2012, and regular investors lost $3 billion (NZD). This market failure was “the inevitable consequence of at least three decades of unreadiness, unwillingness and the inability of regulators, enforcers, courts, lawyers and accountants to fulfill their roles with integrity,” according to Tony Molloy, a Queens Counsel. Molloy is most known for writing a scathing book titled Thirty Pieces of Silver about the corporate underbelly of 1980s film tax shelters, bloodstock tax avoidance schemes, and the Cook Islands tax evasion schemes by European Pacific and major NZ firms. Parliament’s Finance Company Failures Inquiry met on August 20 2009 and again on October 4 2011 to consider the findings.

What are the odds that these two dates performed like wealth-themed bookshelf holders? On August 20 1945, the New Zealand pound was restored to pay parity with the sterling after nineteen years. And on October 4 1862, the pastorialists Thomas Low and John McGregor joined the gold mining at Arrow Point, a find attributed to Jack Tewa, known as ‘Maori Jack’. The strategic withdrawal of financial codes regulating the finance companies mirrored the strategic withdrawal of building codes oversight, lax earthquake risk management and sabotage of the rescue operations that led to the high casuality toll when the big quake hit Christchurch “on cue” in 2011.

Among the 115 fatalities in the six-story CTV Building, which collapsed and then burned, 28 were Japanese students studying English at a language education school.

Japan’s leadership needed to brought to be heel to submit to the West’s Overlords.

As with the economic boost associated with the reconstruction of Christchurch, which Prime Minister John Key described as “the largest and most complex, single economic project in New Zealand’s history”, the date March 11th 2011 marks the beginning of Japan’s long-term recovery, with the 2011 Reconstruction Design Council holding its first meeting shortly after the M9 Tōhoku Earthquake.

How uncanny was it that the US-NZ Partnership Forum, with its focus on Asia Pacific economic prosperity and security, would be ‘gone by the end of lunchtime’ on the second day — when a geophysical terrorism event rumbled across Christchurch?

Another speaker was former veteran of America’s War on Vietnam, Richard Armitage, who spoke during the afternoon session. His presentation, entitled “Creating a Platform for Political Engagement and Security in the Asia Pacific Region”, was deeply ironic. As a former Vietnam War Special Forces operative, he went on to become Deputy Secretary of Defense in the Reagan White-House. In that position, Armitage oversaw the Mujahideen in Afghanistan — along with CIA Director and Vatican Knight of Malta, William Casey — as part of the CIA’s Operation Cyclone, which was designed to strain the Soviet Empire’s economy, to precipitate its collapse.

In short, the Mujahideen War of 1979-1989 was designed to give the Soviets their ‘Vietnam’, or an un-winnable war. The cost of funding, arming, training of the Mujahideen in guerilla terrorism tactics was relatively inexpensive to the mission of breaking the Soviet Empire, since one grand chessboard geopolitical prize is Eurasia.

Thus, for a seemingly small price, a network of radicalized Muslims were manipulated into becoming a force multiplier to topple the Soviet Empire on promises that they would get their lands and mosques back, in accordance with the scheme of Zbigniew Brzezinki’s, the CIA’s pointman as National Security Advisor in the Administration.

Ostensibly, the veteran of America’s War on Vietnam, Richard Armitage, was in Christchurch representing Armitage International, a consultancy whose slogan brags the enterprise is “a force multiplier for international business”. As United States Army Major David S. Powell stated in his 1990 monograph, “Understanding Force Multipliers: The Key to Optimizing Force Capabilities in Peacetime Contingency Operations”, “a force multiplier is a tangible or intangible variable that increases the combat value and overall capability of a military force”. The Mujahideen were a force multiplier in a broader economic war to precipitate the collapse of the Soviet Empire.

Therefore, Armitage International’s brag line is intriguing since he was in Christchurch in his capacity as founder of Armitage International LLC, a consultancy that was also a signatory to a now-defunct neo-conservative-zionist think-tank, called the Project for a New American Century (PNAC). Among its lobbying moves were PNAC’s letters to President Clinton on intervention in Iraq and also against Slobodan Milošević, President of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (1997 to 2000). This means Armitage was embroiled in machinations to inflict regime changes. The Clinton Administration-supported the NATO War on Kosovo in 1999. And, following the 9/11 Coup D’état, PNAC members lobbied incessantly to have the Hussein Regime ousted.

Saddam Hussein was falsely accused of conspiring with Al Qaeda to inflict 9/11.

Moreover, Armitage — who had been involved in the Iran-Contra Conspiracy — had also in the week prior to 9/11 met with the head of the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), General Mahmud Ahmed, who ordered $100,000 to be wired to the 9/11 hijackers. Armitage — who was again Deputy-Secretary of Defence in the Bush II Administration — was named as a key suspect by Kevin Ryan in his book, Another Nineteen: Investigating Legitimate 9/11 Suspects. Ergo, 9/11 had an ensemble cast.

This ensemble cast stealthily reversed the entrenchment that the US intelligence agencies suffered during the news-worthy Senate investigations in the mid-1970s.

To reforge the Empire in the mid-1970s, the American deep state went on ‘safari’.

A transnational intelligence, terrorism and narcotics network — called the Safari Club — was actually the brainchild of the director of the DGSE’s predecessor agency, the SDECE. The Safari Club was founded by two of the Vatican’s Maltese Knights, Count Alexandre de Marenches, the director of the French Service de Documentation Exterieure et de Contre-Espionnage (SDECE) (1970-1981); and the Jesuit-educated U.S. Army General, Vernon Walters. This alliance — formed between the heads of American, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistani intelligence agencies and bound France, Egypt, Iran, Iraq and Pakistan — became a supranational deep state private intelligence network. The Empire doubled-down on its expansionism.

Moreover, it was George Herbert Walker Bush who, as CIA Director (1976-77), was tasked with persuading the Saudi Royal Family to join the Safari Club, and take over a large chunk of covert intelligence financing for the American Deep State. This geopolitical chess move marked the exponential rise of Islamic terrorism, which is deeply ironic given that Bush II was president at the time of the 9/11 Coup D’état.

Especially, since the Al Qaeda terrorist network, who morphed out of the Mujahideen, were entirely blamed for the attacks on the potent date of September 11 in 2001, which corresponds to the emergency phone-call number in the United States: 911.

Particularly, since during the Frank Church Senate Committee probes of 1975-77 into the activities of the FBI, CIA and NSA that underpinned Watergate, COINTELPRO, MK-ULTRA, Project Mockingbird and the JFK Assassination — it became evident to the American people that the US National Security State was out-of-control. The credibility of the intelligence, security and criminal investigation agencies ‘suffered’ from the retrenchment that ensued, to reign in their unbridled, unconstitutional and unconscionable plots, practices and powers.

This is the context underpinning how the 9/11 Coup D’état reversed this retrenchment.

In his excellent book, Another Nineteen: Investigating Legitimate 9/11 Suspects, Kevin Ryan links many of his key suspects to the means to pull off such an epic, brazen exhibition of blockbuster live terror theater. Ryans’ account deftly shows the continuity of ‘the Enterprise’ observed on the surface, in the background and the subsequent cover-ups of structural deep events from the JFK Coup D’état, Watergate, the October Surprise, the Iran-Contra Scandal, BCCI, the Oklahoma City Bombing, and the 9/11 Coup D’état. Indeed, Another Nineteen drew upon the insights of many, including former University of California Professor Peter Dale Scott, who popularized the term deep state, and located the phenomena in an American context in his 2015 book, The American Deep State: Wall Street, Big Oil and the Attack on U.S. Democracy.

A Swiss hisotrian, Daniel Ganser, lectures that the entire official 9/11 account itself collapses under scrutiny. The Empire is ruthless, using false flags routinely.

The 9/11 mega-ritual was pure blockbuster terrorism theater to re-set the Empire.

With a storeyed character such as Richard Armitage, you have to ask: why didn’t the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (SIS) issue a security risk certificate?

During the Q&A in Christchurch, Hillary Clinton derisively remarked that there were Americans who believed the United Nations was trying to take-over the world. This strawman logical fallacy was both an over-simplification and an inoculation tactic designed to immunize the audience to shut-out listening to ‘conspiracy theories’.

Yet, Hillary Clinton is a globalist connected to the Council on Foreign Relations, through her husband, former US President Bill Clinton. There is a back story.

➳ Missing Context to Hillary Clinton’s Remarks — Christchurch Town Hall

An Anglo-American Fraternity sought to make war against Germany, by bamboozling the NAZIs, in order to strengthen their own ambitions for world domination.

The United Nations, which is at present a defacto world government, was forged out of World War II ostensibly to mitigate the great powers fighting again. The real purpose was to facilitate the accumulation of wealth, power and control of the planet’s Overlords with the assistance of élites. The backstory is brutal and bleak.

The world’s trajectory has provable historical precedents of diabolical machinations by Western Élites, who built-up Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany and Communist China.

This present epic age of conflict began as a fight over the control of gold and diamonds in Southern Africa with the Boer War of 1899-1902, in order to fill a war chest for the new prize, oil. In 1880, Germany had surpassed Britain as an industrial power, and in the 1890s began moves to plan, invest and build the Berlin to Baghdad Railway to transport oil. In response, a British Secret Élite envisaged a diabolical double-global war strategy in an attempt to forge a universal empire.

The British Secret Élite embroiled Europe in war against Germany in order to smash the Russian Empire, since the British Oligarchy feared an alliance between Germany and Russia would led to the Russia Empire dominating the world.

In his book, Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, Professor Anthony Sutton explained the totalitarian socialist state — whether international socialist (communist), or national socialist (fascist) — was the perfect captive market for monopoly capitalists. After the American ‘Robber Barons’ forged cartels, Sutton said Wall Street insiders comprehended by the early 1900s, that the most efficient way to forge a monopoly market without contest, was to “go political” and compel society to work for the monopolists, under conditions of unfettered political power, individual coercion and spellbound by ideological persuasion that their toil benefits society.

In the aftermath of World War I, the Anglo-American oligarchs and élites that had conspired to make war against Germany sought to establish a quasi-world government apparatus called the League of Nations. However, members of the United States Congress viewed US membership would undermine the Constitution, since such an international entity could come to have a military stronger than the US.

When the United States Congress balked at this proposal during the so-called Paris Peace Conference in Versailles in 1919, the belligerent Anglo-American actors doubled-down to foment the conditions for another global war, with new resolve.

The Anglo-American Establishment formed the Royal Institute of International Affairs (1919) based in London and a counterpart organization based in New York (1921) called the Council on Foreign Relations for this purpose. It was the same Council on Foreign Relations that conducted the Rockefeller Foundation-funded War and Peace Studies Group (1939 to 1945), to advise the US Government, based on the idea the United States would emerge as the dominant power from WWII.

The Council on Foreign Relations logo, features a naked man on a white horse of conquest, which rears up over a banner that reads “VBIQVE”, or Ubique, the root word of ubiquitous. Thus, the imagery reads ‘conquest everywhere’.

In an epic plot with brinkmanship, plot twists, and betrayals, British, German and American bankers, along with other élites, conspired through networks of Freemasonry in their attempts to forge competing utopian visions of universal empire, as readings of Gerry Doherty’s and Jim Macgregor’s Hidden History: The Secret Origins of the First World War, and Anthony Sutton’s Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution and Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler and Nicholas Hagger’s The Secret History of the West — together make clear. Plots involved infiltration, bribery and intrigue.

American industrialists also conspired with the American ‘Fraternity’ of bankers, to build up the Nazi war machine prior to World War II. Thirteen US industrial firms, who contracted with German corporations prior to and during World War II, were: the Ford Motor Company, General Motors, International Business Machines (IBM), Standard Oil of New Jersey (now Exxon-Mobil), DuPont, Dow Chemical, Alcoa Aluminum Company, American I.G. Chemical Corporation (later renamed General Aniline and Film), American International Telephone and Telegraph (IT&T), Radio Corporation of America (RCA), General Electric; Ozalid, and Agfa-Ansco.

This League of Nations was the forerunner to the United Nations.

In other words, at the time of her signing the Wellington Declaration, Hillary Clinton was in the orbit of a global élite who were working (and continue to) for the planet’s Overlords; a coterie of aggressive, factional, scheming dynastic ruling families.

Another key global-policy shaping group is the Bilderberg Foundation, which was established in 1952 for North Atlantic Western élites to discuss pressing issues over the coming year. Since 1954 the Bilderbergers have hosted around 120 to 140 participants annually to discuss pressing issues, possible plans, and viable solutions suitable to the North Atlantic ruling class and their military alliance: NATO.

According to the editor-in-chief of the Voltaire Network, Thierry Meyssan, the Bilderberg Foundation is a lobbying tool for the NATO Alliance, North Atlantic militarists that intend to be a secret world government. Estulin stated in his book, The True Story of the Bilderberg Group, that the Bilderberg Foundation worked with other global policy shaping think-tanks, such as the Trilateral Commission, the Council on Foreign Relations and the World Economic Forum, as a highly networked, wealthy and resourced global élite intent on achieving world domination featuring technofeudalism by inflicting military war, false flag terrorism and economic sabotage.

Crucially, The Economist has long had insider access to the Bilderberg Group’s meetings. As of 2015, The Economist’s owner, the Economist Group has been part-owned through a Netherlands-based holding company, Exor, belonging to the Italian Fiat industrialist family, Agnelli, as well as long-time stockholdings owned by the Rothschild, Cadbury, and Schroder dynasties. The Agnelli’s have a long association with the Bilderberg Group, and The Economist has long been the forum’s mouthpiece.

It turns out that the CIA and Unilever funded the inaugural meeting of the secretive global policy-shaping group, the Bilderberg Foundation, in 1952 at Hotel de Bilderberg, Oosterbeek, Netherlands. The Anglo-Dutch consumer goods giant, Unilever, which is headquartered in London, is among many transnational corporations whose top executives or board members are categorized as being part of the ‘transnational capitalist class’ (TCC), who are variously termed as the ‘global power élite’, the ‘superclass’, or the ‘globalists’. Like other major Western transnational corporations, Unilever’s executives have attended meetings of global policy-shaping institutions such as the Bilderberg Foundation, the World Economic Forum, the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, and the Trilateral Commission.

Their stated objective is to forge a global governance system — often described by the term, a ‘New World Order’, or its variants, such as an International Rules-Based Order.

This elite ‘globalist bloc’ orbit in an exclusive world of policy formation that once numbered 6000, according to David Rothkopf’s 2008 book, Superclass.

The world’s super-rich have accumulated so much wealth, that their needs for maintaining faster than average capital accumulation are immense, and require regime changes through wars, coups d’état and juntas, as Professor Peter Phillips found while researching the superclass for his 2018 book, Giants: The Global Power Elite. In his seminal 2011 book, Oligarchy, Professor Jeffrey A Winters’ stated that a “very well-paid mercenary army” comprises a Wealth Defense Industry, who follow the oligarchs’ directives as orders. Wealth defense is designed to maintain the conditions of extreme material inequalities. Ergo, oligarchs cause and thrive in crises.

As Snoopman stated in the introduction, the re-integration of N.Z. into the Anglo-American Empire was ‘book-ended’ by the two earthquake sequences, Canterbury and Kaikōura. The visits of two US secretaries of state are entwined with those earthquake sequences, as well as the presence of multi-national military contingents including the US in the country at the time of the two most damaging earthquakes.

On Sunday November 13 3016, US Secretary of State John Kerry met with NZ PM John Key — after a visit to Antarctica — and later that evening the Kaikōura Earthquake struck. The pair supposedly met for bilateral trade talks. Within a month, Key would announce his was quitting the PM’s post; his ‘tank’ was running on empty.

While thanking the Secretary of State Key remarked, “You can’t have a relationship which continues to go from strength to strength by accident. Like a marriage, you have to work at it, and I think both sides have been active and fully engaged.”

Senator Kerry was reported to be the highest ranking US politician to ever visit the Antarctic Continent, and the first to travel to all seven continents while clocking up over 1.3 million miles. He visited the historic Shackleton Hut, dedicated to polar explorer Ernest Shackleton, near McMurdo Station in view of Mount Erebus, the scene of New Zealand’s ‘darkest day’, where 257 fatalities occurred when an Air New Zealand DC-10 slammed into the mountain amid white-out conditions in 1979.

Just as the Christchurch Earthquake coincided with a multi-national naval, army and air force exercise, Southern Katipo, that was derailed, the Kaikōura Earthquake also coincided with a multi-national Naval Review to celebrate the Royal New Zealand Navy’s 75th Anniversary. Among the vessels present in NZ, was the guided-missile destroyer USS Sampson, which became the first US warship to visit NZ in 33 years.

The USS Sampson (DDG-102) is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer in the United States Navy equipped with the SPY-1D passive electronically scanned array radar. The USS Sampson is the U.S. Navy’s 52nd Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, and is named in honor of Rear Admiral William Thomas Sampson (1840-1902), a naval hero in the Spanish-American War, who led the destruction of the Spanish Fleet in the harbor of Santiago, Cuba. Poignantly, the trigger for the Spanish-American War was the sinking of the USS Maine, which was blamed on Spain but was a false flag attack.

This ‘disaster’ gifted the USS Sampson the opportunity to assist with disaster relief.

Ergo, the USS Sampson’s sailors, along with their New Zealand counterparts aboard the HMNZS Canterbury, won public acclaim for the rescue and relief operations.

Ergo, in the 33rd year since a U.S. navy vessel had visited N.Z.’s waters, the South Pacific archipelago was said to have come ‘full circle’ in a lengthy re-integration back into the Anglo-American Empire, following a rift in the ANZUS alliance that widened into a chasm in the aftermath of the Rainbow Warrior Bombing in Auckland in 1985.

But, the visit by the USS Sampson in 2016, which closed this ‘full circle’ chapter, was ‘book-ended’ by two earthquake sequences: Canterbury and Kaikōura.

How uncanny that the Kaikōura Earthquake struck at 12.02am on 14 November 2016 (N.Z. local time), given that the electromagnetic technology that would be harnessed to amplify the natural forces in play at the time. Especially, since it was on November 14 1959, that precision approach radar came into operation at Wellington Airport (and claimed to be a first in the world), as any newsroom possessing a copy of A.W. Reed’s 1973 compedium, It Happened Today in New Zealand — could readily check.

And, what are the odds that the Kaikōura Earthquake struck on November 13 2016 at 11:02 am, UTC (Coordinated Universal Time)? Particularly, since the quake hit with a disaster-themed historical riff because it just happened to occur on the date that Mount Tongariro erupted on November 13 in 1896. Two died from the Kaikōura quake, while no deaths were reported as a result of the Tongariro eruption. The Kaikōura Earthquake completed the symbol sorcery of coming full circle, as far as reintegrating the political-right bloc back into the American Empire was concerned.

Ergo, the banal act of the HMNZS Endeavour being refuelled by the USS Sampson on November 13 2016 took on the potency of a ritualized petro-alchemical wedding.

Senator Kerry’s visit the Antarctic Continent, just prior to meeting with NZ’s PM John Key on 13 November, carried potency since he was pictured with Mount Erebus in the background. Particularly, when it is known that Kerry is a Skull and Bonesman.

Thus, the meeting of US Secretary of State John Kerry with NZ Prime Minister John Key half a day prior to the Kaikōura Earthquake, and after the Massachusetts Senator had returned from Antarctica — raised eyebrows about the potential signalling.

As a marionette puppet of the planet’s Overlords, Kerry is not only a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and a Bilderberg Group attendee. He is also a Skull and Bonesman, which is a Yale University brotherhood that selects 15 new members each year, who are bonded to support one another as they fill key posts in government, corporations and foundations. In studying an eight inch parcel of documents about Yale University’s most infamous fraternity for his 1983 book America’s Secret Establishment: An Introduction to the Order of Skull & Bones, Professor Anthony Sutton realised their game was to spearhead institutions, initiatives and intrigues in order to inflict a ‘managed conflict’ paradigm. Sutton found monopoly capitalists bankrolled totalitarian communist and fascist regimes, as they were captive markets.

➳ The EMF Connection in an Electro-Magnetic Cosmos

The February 22 2011 magnitude 6.3 Christchurch Aftershock followed a magnitude 7.1 Darfield Earthquake in Canterbury, New Zealand, that occurred on 4 September 2010. Despite hundreds of aftershocks that happened between the 7.1 Darfield Earthquake and the M6.3 Christchurch Aftershock, the good people of Christchurch were lulled into a false sense of security following the September 4 2010 earthquake.

The epicenter of the M6.3 aftershock was below Heathcote Valley in the Port Hills, right on the sub-surface fault structure. The Cracroft Caverns Laboratory in Cashmere were but a ‘stone’s throw’ distance from the Port Hills fault.

In a June 2011 report by Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team (EEFIT) from the Institution of Structural Engineers headquartered in London, the engineers added the relative locations of Central Christchurch to Heathcote Valley School, near the epicenter, where three strong motions instruments at this station recorded considerable horizontal and vertical motions during the February 22 2011 earthquake.

This EEFIT report (June 2011) describes New Zealand’s tectonic setting as “a region of high seismicity, with the majority of seismicity occurring in broad zones associated with the tectonic plate boundary between the Australian Plate to the west and the Pacific Plate to the east. In the Fiordland region at the deep South of New Zealand, the Australian Plate is subducting obliquely to the east beneath the Pacific Plate at the Puyseguer Trench, according to the Earthquake Engineering Field Investigation Team. To the east of the North Island of New Zealand, the Pacific Plate is subducting obliquely to the northwest beneath the Australian Plate at the Hikurangi Trough.

Subduction is a geologic process in which one plate of the Earth’s lithosphere is pushed underneath another plate. It occurs at destructive plate boundaries, where two or more of the Earth’s tectonic plates intersect and collide. Subduction zones are areas of long-term, ongoing deformation and are associated with volcanism.

Yet, a ‘false sense of security’ existed prior to the big quake of February 22nd 2011.

Rather than being the result of ignorance, complacency, incompetence, Snoopman contends that a sinister agenda from the state apparatus underpinned a ‘forged reality’.

In 1995, the Christchurch City Council took ownership of the Cashmere Caverns (also known as the Cracroft Caverns) located under Christchurch Port Hills. In the following year, the University of Canterbury installed the CII ring laser. The ring laser research group was a collaboration between the University of Canterbury Physics and Astronomy Department, who operated the Cashmere Cavern Laboratory, and the Technical University of Munich and the Forschungsgruppe Satelliengeodäsie (German Federal Institute for Cartography and Geodesy) who operate the Gross Ring Facility.

The university continued to use the caverns as their laboratory. Moreover, the University of Canterbury built a new ring-laser gyroscope in the Cashmere Cavern with three quarters of a million dollars, awarded by the Marsden Fund in 2010.

This project grant, worth NZ$756,000, envisaged a ring laser gyroscope that would be tilted to face the south celestial pole, to measure the drag of the earth’s rotation compared to the distant astronomical objects in collaboration with a Geodetic Observatory Wettzell station in Germany, which operates a G-ring gyroscope.

These technologies appeared to be an addition to an array of radio sounding equipment known as ionosondes, set-out in a triangulated positioning located at Godley Head at the entrance to Lyttleton Harbour, at Eyrewell (about 30km northwest of Christchurch) and at Birdlings Flat (Akaroa Radio Array) situated on the southern end of Banks Peninsula on Kaitorete Spit about 45km south of Christchurch, ostensibly constructed to measure the ionosphere. Eyrewell is considered a geomagnetic observatory, along with Scott Base, which were operated by the Physics and Astronomy Department of the University of Canterbury. The suspicion is that these facilities were hacked as part of an operation to trigger the Canterbury Earthquakes. Eyrewell is now operated by GNS, who boasted in 2015 that earthquake science in NZ was 150 years old; the New Zealand Geological Survey began in 1865.

The ionosphere varies in thickness on a daily basis, known as the di-ernal effect.

The ionosphere becomes engorged with the morning glory of the sun, expands downward from the exosphere, deeper into the thermosphere, to penetrate the mesosphere. At night, the ionosphere shrinks back. The ionosphere is a wall-less lab.

Yet, it is well-known in the science community that disturbances in the ionosphere can sometimes precede earthquakes. This phenomena has been an area of earthquake forecasting research, and a growing field of podcasts tracking earthquakes.

For example, a 1997 study entitled, “A Possible Generation Mechanism of Acoustic-Gravity Waves in the Ionosphere before Strong Earthquakes”, explored the possibility that Acoustic Gravity Waves (AGW) were generated by a ‘Joule heating’ in a localized region of the ionosphere above the epicentre of earthquakes. ‘Joule heating’ occurs when a current passes through an electrical conductor to produce thermal energy, which causes the temperature of the conductor to rise. The origin of the ‘Joule heating’ was theorized to be an electric field of seismic origin, which implied that the ionosphere can become a medium for amplifying the transmission of thermal energy back to earth, as a result of disturbances originating from seismic activity.

A 2006 study “The Ionospheric Effect of Atmospheric Gravity Waves Excited Prior to Strong Earthquake”, found that heating of a local region of the ionosphere above the epicentral zone of an imminent earthquake appeared to be caused by a disturbance in the vertical atmospheric electrostatic field on the Earth’s surface in the epicentral zone of a forthcoming earthquake. This finding corroborated the 1997 study just mentioned, and stated research of the localised region of the ionosphere above the epicentral zone that underwent heating prior to earthquakes, needed to be ‘widened’.

In 2007, a joint Russian-Japanese science team studied atmospheric and ionospheric ‘preparation periods’ leading to earthquakes. In their study, entitled, “A Pilot Project on the Comparative Diagnosis Earthquake Precursors on Sakhalin Island: Experiments Results from 2007”, the scientists found that variations of atmosphere and ionosphere parameters before the August 2007 Sakhalin Island Earthquake completely corresponded to the indications revealed for strong earthquakes around the world in prior studies. However, the scientists added that trans-boundary access to data needed to be overcome by more trans-jurisdiction cooperation to learn more.

In July 2011, the China University of Mining and Technology made observations of ionospheric earthquake precursor events to the magnitude 7.1 Darfield Earthquake in Canterbury New Zealand. The China University study, entitled, “Satellite Thermal Anomalies before the M S 7.1 New Zealand Earthquake 2010”, found the local thermal anomalies that occurred about one month before the earthquake, “most likely resulted from underground heat”. This finding was said to be consistent with hot material upwelling from Earth’s mantle, which “leads to abundant geothermal activity such as hot springs and volcanoes.” Perhaps the Chinese team looked in the wrong direction.

Ironically, in another December 2011 paper entitled “Measuring Gravito-magnetic Effects by Multi Ring-Laser Gyroscope”, the authors proposed an under-ground experiment to detect the general relativistic effects due to the curvature of space-time around the Earth (de Sitter effect) and to rotation of the planet (dragging of the inertial frames or Lense-Thirring effect). The research group included scientists, technicians and engineers from Italy, and Germany, as well as a team lead by Jon-Paul Wells of the Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Canterbury, Christchurch. This research proposal was a development on their project to build a new ring-laser gyroscope in the Cashmere Cavern, for which the University received $756,000 dollars from the Marsden Fund in 2010. But, their lab became too shaky.

Ergo, the plucky scientists lead by Dr Wells at the Canterbury University’s Department of Physics and Astronomy, were proposing an under-ground experiment elsewhere. The subtle general relativistic effects due to the Earth’s curvature of space-time still needed to be compared to the planet’s rotational drag — amid the Darfield Earthquake Sequence that would eventually surpass 13,0000 aftershocks.

In their April 2015 study, “Ionospheric Earthquake Precursors”, New Zealand’s Geological and Nuclear Sciences Institute (GNS) reached the conclusion that there were no ionospheric disturbances prior to four major earthquakes in the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence, which started with the magnitude 7.1 Darfield Earthquake on September 4 2010. The ECQ’s GNS study measured the Total Electron Content (TEC) in the ionosphere in a spatial grid above Canterbury, and New Zealand, for the periods preceding and following the Darfield Earthquake of 4 September 2010 and three major aftershocks, including the Christchurch Earthquake of 22 February 2011.

According to the GNS study, the most pronounced Total Electron Content (TEC) variation occurred on 18 February 2011 (Central Time Zone), or 19 February (NZT).

Coincidentally, a pod of 107 whales were found stranded at Mason Bay, Stewart Island on Saturday 19 February 2011. The documentary Sonic Sea shows the shipping noise, submarine sonar and seismic testing causes whale strandings, because the mammals try to get away from horrific incessant sound pollution.

It is perhaps critical to note that there is a high frequency (HF) radar facility, called the Unwin Radar array, which is located at Awarua, near Invercargill, South Island.

The Unwin Radar array is one 35 such high frequency (HF) radars located in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It is part of an international scientific radar network known as the Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN). Bursts of shortwave radio pulses are transmitted from the radar in a southern arc that includes the South Magnetic Pole. The ensuing reflections from micrometeorites, the ionosphere, ocean and aurora are detected and recorded at the station.

The GNS study drew upon specialized GPS software from the Space and Geophysics Laboratory with the Applied Research Laboratories at the University of Texas, Austin.

Thus, at approximately 72 hours out from the Christchurch Earthquake, the greatest anomaly occurred. But, D. A. Rhoades et al said they had no explanation for the spatial distribution of the anomaly, which occurred to the east and west of the South Island about 750 kilometres apart. A TEC spike also occurred on 15 February (CST), or 16 February (NZT), at six days preceding the Christchurch Earthquake.

The GNS scientists said the anomalies in the data were more likely due to solar or geomagnetic effects, despite admitting they had “no explanation for the spatial distribution of the anomaly”. Tellingly, the scientists observed short-term heat released from the surface rocks prior to the four major earthquakes in the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence. New Zealand’s GNS was behind in the science.

Indeed, this 2015 GNS study missed a 2009 white paper in the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics entitled, “Air Ionization at Rock Surface and Pre-Earthquake Signals” that determined the pre-earthquake “thermal anomalies” could not be caused by Joule heat rising from a source below and heating the rocks at the Earth’s surface, since the rapidity of the heat appearing and disappearing had to be by another cause. They believed massive air ionization occurs at the surface of rocks, which are being stressed at one end. The authors went on to state:

“The build-up of stress within the Earth’s crust prior to major earthquakes may likewise lead to processes at the Earth’s surface, including massive air ionization, which can be expected to cause ionospheric disturbances and a host of other phenomena.”

— Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics entitled, “Air Ionization at Rock Surface and Pre-Earthquake Signals”

In their December 2011 paper entitled, “Atmosphere-ionosphere response to the M9 Tohoku earthquake revealed by multiinstrument space-borne and ground observations: Preliminary results”, and published in Earthquake Science Journal, Dimitar Ouzounov et al found that before the M9 earthquake of March 11, 2011, the total electron content of the ionosphere increased dramatically over the epicentre, reaching a maximum three days before the quake struck causing a huge tsunami off the coast of Japan. The scientists used four measurement techniques characterizing the state of the atmosphere/ionosphere during the periods before and after the event.

Ouzounov et al analysed data from: (1) Outgoing longwave radiation (OLR) measured at the top of the atmosphere; (2) GPS/TEC (Total Electron Content) ionospheric variability; (3) Low Earth orbiting (LEO) satellite ionospheric tomography; and (4) variations in ionosphere F2 layer at the critical foF2 frequency (the highest frequency at which the ionosphere is transparent) from four Japanese ionosonde stations.

The collaborative Tōhoku Earthquake study between NASA and Moscow found:

“the existence of an atmosphere/ionosphere response triggered by the coupling processes between lithosphere, atmosphere and ionosphere preceding the M9 Tohoku earthquake of March 11, 2011.” — Dimitar Ouzounov et al, Earthquake Science Journal, December 2011

Two geomagnetic storms took place on the first and eleventh of March respectively, (Figure 4, marked in blue), while a precursor anomaly in geomagnetic disturbance preceded the earthquake. This “strong and very unusual increase of TEC was registered on March 8” marked by red in Figure 4 below. The TEC anomalous signals were registered between two minor and moderate geomagnetic storms, but the major increase of DTEC on March 8 was registered during a geomagnetically quiet period.

Ouzounov et al stated in their December 2011 Earthquake Science Journal article:

“A sharp increase in the electron concentration from the Japanese ionospheric stations (Figure 7) were observed with a maximum on March 8 and then returned to normal a few days after the main earthquake of March 11.”

As enlightening as these studies are, they exclude a phenomenon that I call Scientifically Obtuse Scientists Syndrome (or SOSS) that results from a ‘partitioning wall’, which severs publicly viewable science from research and development in transnational deep state complexes protected in the interests of ‘national security’.

This problem remains unstated in the science literature, as far as I can tell.

Because, many such studies of ionospheric earthquake precursors ignore the potential to weaponize a network of ionosphere heaters around the globe.

Ionosphere heaters — euphemistically-termed atmospheric ‘testing’ facilities — are installations of radio antennas knitted together to heat particles in the upper atmosphere with pulsed electromagnetic waves to rip holes in the ozone layer, lift and stretch the ionosphere, and bounce radiated energy downward to the Earth’s surface.

The idea is that phased-array radio antennas laid in a grid connected by underground copper cables can produce a focussed standing sky wave that can be steered as an ‘echo’ back to earth as a standing ground wave to achieve military purposes.

The ionized electrons in the ionosphere can be moved as ‘invisible’ beams to gather tomographic data of mineral, oil and gas deposits, or to gather and transmit communications, and locate and track subterannean military structures. The ionized electrons can also amplify or shift weather systems, and perhaps even generate earthquakes by antagonizing seismic plates. Scientists appear to be holding back.

The most well known of the known ionosphere heaters — euphemistically-termed atmospheric ‘testing’ facilities — is the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), is located in Gokona Alaska. Construction for the HAARP facility began in 1992 and became fully operational in 1994. It was developed as a joint project between the US Navy, Air Force and Phillips Laboratories, under the US Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI). The University of Alaska came to own the facility in 2015 after the US Air Force, the US Navy and Department of Defense’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) had all conducted projects at the remote site.

It is constructed of 180 radio antennas interlaced to fire powerful beams of electromagnetic energy into the ionosphere. The antennas were installed by a subsidiary of British Aerospace Systems (BAES) using a patent owned by Advanced Power Technologies Inc. (APTI), a subsidiary of Atlantic Richfield Corporation (ARCO). It is the most powerful of its kind. The Akaroa Radio Array at Birdlings Flat about 45km south of Christchurch, was also constructed to measure the ionosphere.

In 1994, ARCO sold its APTI subsidiary, including the patents in the strategic weather warfare technology and the second phase construction contract to E-Systems, which specializes in electronic warfare equipment, spying devices, and navigation and reconnaissance machinery. In 1995, Raytheon paid $2.3 billion in cash for E-Systems Inc., with finance from two Rockefeller-controlled banks, Chase Manhattan Bank and Chemical Bank, as well as Bank of America National Trust and Savings Association.

In 2003, British Aerospace Systems Advanced Technologies Inc. outsourced its contract to build and install 132 antennas for HAARP to Phazar Corp., a specialist in wireless antennas for military applications. British Aerospace Systems also sub-contracted its work, awarded by the Office of Naval Research, to ‘defense’ contractor DRS Technologies to manufacture 60 transmitters that would compliment the antennas at the HAARP facility. The DRS Technologies’ unit that produced the transmitters is called C4I, short for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence, which is a common systems configuration within the military-industrial complex. Between 1999 and 2012, Raytheon was contracted by the National Science Foundation to provide logistics, supplies and development of technologies for scientific research, which included weather prediction capabilities.

In 2012, a large weapons industry consortium — Lockheed Martin — was succeeded by Raytheon Polar Services, which now conducts weather research in Antarctica. Raytheon, which has an office in the International Antarctica Centre in New Zealand, describes “[t]he U.S. Antarctic Program” as a “national program for scientific research and geopolitical presence.” The term ‘geopolitical’ refers to global power politics, and the struggle for territorial space. In 2015, the Operation of the HAARP research facility was transferred from the US Air Force to the University of Alaska Fairbanks.

On March 26 2014, the deputy assistant secretary of the US Air Force for science, technology and engineering, Dr David Walker told the House Armed Services Committee’s subcommittee on Intelligence, Emerging Threat and Capabilities, in Washington D.C., that the HAARP facility was designed to manage the ionosphere by injecting energy into this region of the Earth’s atmosphere and control the ionosphere. This admission was included in the documentary Frankenskies to demonstrate what had long been derided as conspiracy theory. Dr Walker added that the US Air Force had managed the HAARP facility for a few years after taking over from the Navy. The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) was their last government customer. The ionosphere had been weaponized.

In 2015, the HAARP facility operation was transferred from the United States Air Force to the University of Alaska Fairbanks. Did ionospheres become mobile?

In this 2010 slide presentation entitled “On the Viability and Requirements of a Barge Based ELF System”, Dennis Papadopoulos of the University of Maryland, made the case for barges, floating platforms, and ships to be vehicles for mobile high frequency ionospheric heaters. The transmission of extremely low frequency waves to ‘communicate’ between satellites, ships, barges, platforms, and submarines may seem benign. Mr Papadopoulos suggested the effects could be scaled upward by locating such submarines, barges, ships or platforms at the ‘equatorial dip’ and bouncing such signals off the ionosphere. However, Papadopoulos also appeared to be presenting the utility of high frequency heaters located on ships and barges to drive alternating currents at the ionospheric region and control the ionosphere from marine vehicles.

This proof of concept was presented in collaboration with the US Navy.

After-all, Dr David Walker disclosed to the House Armed Services Committee’s hearing on March 26 2014, that the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility, located in Gakona, Alaska, was designed to manage and control ionosphere by injecting energy into this region of the Earth’s atmosphere.

The Christchurch New Zealand and Tohoku Japan earthquakes of February 22 and March 11 2011, respectively, lead to suspicions that the phased array High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), located in Gakona Alaska, was activated to inflict the earthquakes. Insiders of the American Empire may have inflicted the earthquakes to signal to Western élites there was a stiff price to pay for membership.

The University of Alaska’s HAARP website posted a sequence of time-frequency spectogram images recorded by the HAARP Induction Magnetometer on the days preceding, during and following the Tohoku Earthquake in Japan. The instrument, the HAARP website stated, was provided by the University of Tokyo and measures temporal variations, or disturbances, in the geomagnetic field in the ULF (ultra-low frequency) range of 0-5 Hz in Earth’s upper atmosphere. The spectogram image for 11 March 2011 appears to show directed energy at the 2.5 hertz frequency level, as if the HAARP facility was used to leverage a magnetic storm that occurred around the time.

These 11 spectogram images recorded by the HAARP Induction Magnetometer from March 2 to March 12 appear to demonstrate the 2.5 hertz frequency level was used to trigger the Tohoku Earthquake in Japan 5:46am (UTC) on March 11 2011.

According to Michael Janitch of St. Louis Missouri, he posted a report on 9 March 2011 on his earthquake forecast podcast, DutchSinse, about a 7.2M in Japan, two days before the M9.1 megaquake, stating the escalation in seismic activity was global.

Janitch mentioned there had been 10 quakes in the magnitude 5 range since the 7.2 magnitude quake struck. He also displayed the HAARP Induction Magnometer, indicating he suspected the planet was being hit, and he warned for civil preparedness.

In their 2015 paper entitled, “Generation of Artificial Acoustic-Gravity Waves and Traveling Ionospheric Disturbances in HF Heating Experiments”, published in the Springe Journal of Earth Moon Planets, Pradipta et al demonstrated that acoustic gravity waves and travelling ionospheric disturbances can be artificially generated by the High Frequenccy Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) facility in Gakona.

Acoustic-gravity waves (AGW) — which are a special type of sound wave that can cut through the deep ocean at the speed of sound — can also be generated by underwater earthquakes, explosions, and landslides, as well as by surface waves and meteorites. A single one of these waves can stretch tens or hundreds of kilometers, and travel at depths of hundreds or thousands of meters below the ocean surface, transferring energy from the upper surface to the seafloor, and across the oceans, MIT News said.

This AGW finding has particular significance for New Zealand, given that there is an abundance of aquifiers below the bedrock, especially in the Canterbury region. According to StatsNZ, Canterbury held 519 billion cubic metres or 73.2 percent of New Zealand’s total volume of groundwater, estimated to be 711 billion cubic metres.

The picture of earnest scientists beavering away to supply seismic and ionospheric data for military applications to weaponize the forces of nature gets more intriguing.

In 2004, and 2007, experiments with magnetospheric amplification and emission triggering using ELF and VLF waves took place in waters south east of New Zealand.

The experiments involved Stanford University in collaboration with HAARP facility at Gakona, and the research vessel, RV Tangaroa, owned by New Zealand’s National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), a state-funded agency.

If anything, Golkowski et al’s paper entitled, “Magnetospheric amplification and emission triggering by ELF and VLF waves injected by the 3.6 MW HAARP ionospheric heater”, appears to demonstrate the precision of aiming the HAARP HF beam at various positions of the ionosphere to produce magnetospheric ELF/VLF wave-injections that might cause disturbances in the Southern Hemisphere.

This 2008 HAARP study has relevance for the question of whether such knowledge — in addition to other studies on producing gravity waves — could have been exploited by the US military to trigger the Darfield Earthquake Sequence, beginning on Sept 4 2010, including the Christchurch Earthquake. A subsequent 2011 study by Golwowski et al, based on the same data, shows echos that were sensed by the RV Tangaroa, as well as the Chistochina station in Alaska, which used to be a gold mining district .

In his 2008 PhD dissertation entitled, “Magnetospheric Wave Injection by Modulated HF Heating of the Auroral Electroject”, Mark Golwowski showed techniques to produce high frequency line, sweep and beam painting with the HAARP technology.

The patterned beams correspond with echoes picked up by the Chistochina station.

Therefore, it would appear that the ionospheric earthquake precursor anomalies that were most attenuated on 18 February 2011 (Central Time Zone), or 19 February (NZT) , — which was three days before the February 22nd 2011 Christchurch Earthquake — bear resemblance to magnetospheric wave amplifications amid emissions caused by the HAARP HF ionospheric heater. After all, the square and rectangular shapes in the heat signatures indicate an artificial source for the anomalies observed.

Crucially, Jim Lee, a South Carolina geo-engineering podcaster warned on his Climate Viewer podcast that the technologies to create artificial ionospheric mirrors have been advanced for military purposes; not just for scientific understanding.

Lee points out that the energy of the sun could be leveraged to use the ionospheric mirrors as lens, to heat or burn targetted areas and thereby cause earthquakes, wildfires or crop failures. Thus, an undeclared geophysical war could wreck household, business and community autonomy without populations being aware.

Therefore, the logic of U.S. weapons manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, being among the sponsors of the United States-New Zealand Council’s Partnership Forum in Christchurch at the time of February 22 2011 Christchurch Earthquake also becomes potent. Particularly, since the participants visited the International Antarctica Centre.

At 98th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting in January 2018, Robert McCoy of the University of Alaska’s Geophysical Institute gave a presentation on the HAARP phased array facility at Gakona. McCoy said by focusing gigawatt of energy into a localized F-region of ionosphere, scientists can form beams, create currents, ducts, low frequency waves, trigger instabilities and cause electrons to precipitate.

Therefore, should we be surprised that a 1996 paper on weather weaponization presented future situations/scenarios containing ‘fictional representations’, via a circuitous route from within the Department of Defense (DOD) ‘school environment’?

The concepts white paper entitled, “Weather as a Force Multiplier: Owning the Weather in 2025”, was presented as a study “designed to comply with a directive from the chief of staff of the Air Force to examine the concepts, capabilities, and technologies the United States will require to remain the dominant air and space force in the future”. Although the paper claimed it was not official policy of the US DOD, the disclaimer noted it was written in the DOD school environment of academic freedom and in the interest of advancing concepts related to national defense. It was eventually uploaded to the US Air Force’s website where upon in June 2006 it was scanned to the internet’s famous archive portal, the Way-Back Machine.

“Weather as a Force Multiplier” actually envisaged making clouds with ‘smart’ nano-particles to deny surveillance capabilities to enemies, storm modification to provide advantage to war-fighters, and developing the capacity to modify precipitation in volatile parts of the world where water is scarce. Also envisaged was a global network of Artificial Ionospheric Mirrors (AIM) that could reflect electromagnetic beams targeted to create weather effects to clear clouds prior to air attacks, or impoverish nations. Therefore, this concepts white paper envisaged militarized weather systems.

However, because such ionospheric radio antennas are classified as research and communications facilities, their role as weapons projects fall outside the perusal of the U.N. “Convention on the Prohibition of Military or Any Other Hostile Use of Environmental Modification Techniques” or ENMOD, a United Nations Treaty that was ratified by President Carter in 1979. The ionospheric radio stations have dual purpose functions as communication and research facilities to gather data on substrata rock formations, resources and underground installations.

Therefore, the magnitude 7.1 Darfield Earthquake in Canterbury, New Zealand of September 4^th 2010 may have been a pre-emptive strike ahead of the impending publication of the U.S. Congressional Report, “Engineering the Climate: Research Needs and Strategies for International Coordination” the following month. The report made the case for getting on board with ‘research’ to safely practice climate geo-engineering, rather than waiting for a time of emergency. Ergo, hack the planet.

In her books — Chemtrails, HAARP, and the Full Spectrum Dominance of Planet Earth and Under an Ionized Sky: From Chemtrails to Space Fence Lockdown — Elana Freeland argues that the real reason for geo-engineering the atmosphere is to achieve militaristic world domination objectives. Freeland states that the Earth’s overlords are forging rivalrous space-faring empires. The inherent diabolical logic ‘requires’ humanity to be permanently contained in ‘lockdown’, meaning a sustainably developed curfew of permissible behaviours. In such a dystopian sci-fi world, every relationship, transaction and process is tracked, tabled and ticketed, so that there is no longer the freewill to evolve humanity along alternate trajectories.

Freeland asserts that the lower atmosphere has been transformed into strategic geographic areas with an engineered plasma for not only weather engineering, but also for extending telecommunications coverage, 3D radar surveillance, ‘Star Wars’ Strategic Defense Initiative reach, including Directed Energy Weapons systems, integrated with artificial intelligence, nanotechnology and robotics.

The University of Canterbury’s Physics and Astronomy Department is also one of five dozen partner institutions with the Icecube Neutrino Observatory, designed to observe the cosmos from deep within the South Pole ice. Encompassing a cubic kilometer of ice, IceCube supposedly searches for nearly massless subatomic particles called neutrinos. Evidently, these high-energy astronomical messengers provide information to probe the most violent astrophysical sources: events like exploding stars, gamma-ray bursts, and cataclysmic phenomena involving black holes and neutron stars. IceCube is said to also observe cosmic rays that interact with the Earth’s atmosphere. The IceCube was fully completed in December 2010 after six years of construction, with over 5000 optical sensors drilled one kilometer into the ice, to sense charge particles from neutrinos exploding in collisions with the ice.

The question arises as to whether the Icecube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica has a dual role as a powerful directed energy weapon (DEW) capable of triggering earthquakes. In other words, the Icecube facility may be a gargantuan beam gun.

Icecube’s collaboration with University of Canterbury’s Physics and Astronomy Department is intriguing, given that the Cashmere Caverns Laboratory received a cash injection in 2010 for a ring-laser gyroscope upgrade that would be pointed at the southern polar region. Especially, given that primary funding for the construction of the Icecube Neutrino Observatory came from the US National Science Foundation, which is an ‘independent’ agency of the US federal government established in 1950 and which has been complicit in weather hacking projects since the mid-1960s.

My supposition about the earthquakes in New Zealand being engineered as part of a broader geophysical war, to signal compliance to the alliance may seem bat-shit mad.

However, a 1968 book edited by a young Nigel Calder (featured in The Great Global Warming Swindle), titled Unless Peace Comes: A Scientific Forecast of New Weapons there is an ominous chapter, “Geophysical warfare: how to wreck the environment”, written by a member of President Lyndon Johnson’s Science Advisory Committee. Professor Gordon J.F. MacDonald, who was also an associate director of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at the University of California, Los Angeles, stated:

“As economic competition among many advanced nations heightens, it may be to a country’s advantage to ensure a peaceful natural environment for itself and a disturbed environment for its competitors. Operations producing such conditions might be carried out covertly, since nature’s great irregularity permits storms, floods, droughts, earthquakes and tidal waves to be viewed as unusual but not unexpected. Such a ‘secret war’ need never be declared or even known by the affected populations. It could go on for years with only the security forces involved being aware of it. The years of drought and storm would be attributed to unkindly nature and only after a nation were thoroughly drained would an armed take-over be attempted.”

MacDonald went on state:

“The key to geophysical warfare is the identification of the environmental instabilities to which the addition of a small amount of energy would release vastly greater amounts of energy. Environmental instability is a situation in which nature has stored energy in some part of the Earth or its surroundings far in excess of that which is usual. To trigger this instability, the required energy might be introduced violently by explosions or gently by small bits of material able to induce rapid changes by acting as catalysts or nucleating agents. The mechanism for energy storage might be the accumulation of strain over hundreds of millions of years in the solid Earth, or the super-cooling of water vapour in the atmosphere by updraughts taking place over a few tens of minutes. Effects of releasing this energy could be world-wide, as in the case of altering climate, or regional, as in the case of locally excited earthquakes or enhanced precipitation.

As far as military applications are concerned, … [a] nation possessing superior technology in environmental manipulation could damage an adversary without revealing its intent. [N]evertheless, the long-term possibility of developing and applying such techniques under the cover of nature’s irregularities presents a disquieting prospect.”

Dr. Gordon J. F. MacDonald was of course, also the chair of the Panel on Weather and Climate Modification appointed in March 1963, to review the then-present status and activities in weather and climate modification and its potential and limitations.

Thus, while the general community of American scientists were beavering away in the fields of atmospheric sciences, as well as earth sciences, ostensibly to comprehend the drivers of weather systems, climate, and even earthquakes — key insiders were developing knowledge, technologies and networks to weaponize the planet.

Subsequent to the 2011 Christchurch Earthquake, the aforementioned Japanese earthquake study found the solar and lunar motions did cause changes in the tidal stress state, and may trigger earthquakes. Therefore, the possibility that the sun, moon and tides may be harnessed as ‘force multipliers’ looked less bat-shit crazy.

At the time of the February 22nd earthquake people were to be “a-buzz” with the eerie earthquake prediction of ‘Moonman’ Ken Ring, a weather and earthquake forecaster who studied moon and solar activities in relation to tides. TV3’s now defunct Newshub reported “On February 14, 2011 Mr Ring made this tweet: “Potential earthquake time for the planet between 15th-25th, especially 18th for Christchurch, +/- about 3 days.”

On his website, Ring forecast the “18th may be especially prone. The possible earthquake risk areas are N/S faults until after 16 February, then E/W faults until 23rd.” Ring expected a 7+ magnitude earthquake, citing solar and lunar phenomena.

The Dominion Post (March 17 2011) followed up with a character assassination piece headlined, “Ken Ring’s Christchurch earthquake claims ‘terrifying’ people”. The paper said “[Ring] caused nationwide controversy this month when he predicted a massive quake would take place in Christchurch on March 20”. The newspaper added:

“His claims that the moon’s tides can affect when major earthquakes will strike are not supported by seismologists or scientists.” — The Dominion Post, 17 March 2011

The prime minister’s chief science adviser, Sit Peter Gluckman, was cited as an authoritative objective voice, saying there was no relation between the Japanese and Christchurch earthquakes. Ring had made his forecast for a major earthquake to occur on March 20, when he appeared on a radio show, MagicTalk, hosted by Marcus Lush, on September 22 2010. Mr Ring said the next big quake would occur on March 20 in Christchurch, along the east-west fault-line in Marlborough and Canterbury.

Gluckman conveyed the frequency of big earthquakes worldwide and in New Zealand, to downplay the relevance of Ring’s earthquake forecasting. To back up his point, Gluckman said that “Christchurch had endured many earthquakes before, and that the spire of Christ Church Cathedral had fallen off four times in the past 130 years.”

Besides, The Dom reported the concern of the Salvation Army’s co-ordinator of the charity’s 130-member counselling team in Christchurch, Lynette Hutson, who said Mr Ring’s claims had shaken the most rational people. Ergo, Key’s chief science advisor and the Sally’s chief for corralling counsellors both chimed in to scapegoat Ring.

The Australian Herald Sun also reported on Ken Ring’s forecast of a big earthquake on March 20 hitting the quake-stricken southern city. A University of Canterbury academic, Dr Mark Quigley, with expertise in active tectonics and geomorphology, was reported to have said Mr Ring’s assertions were “ludicrous”. The New Zealand Herald also noted that Ring had forecast the February 22 earthquake and foresaw on September 7 2010, a major aftershock to occur on the morning of March 20.

On March 20, a 5.1 magnitude aftershock rattled Christchurch at 9.47pm.

The New Zealand Herald reported it was the biggest aftershock since the February 22 quake, but dismissed the Moon Man’s prediction because experts said there was “no scientific link”. It’s epicentre was 10km’s east of Christchurch and 10 kilometers deep.

Ring’s forecast was for the morning of March 20 since the moon would be at its closest to Earth in 2011 at 9.44am. The big jolt hit 12 hours and three minutes later, and was preceded by 3.0 aftershock 10k’s West of Lyttleton at a shallow depth of 5km; and a 2.9 quake at 11k’s deep, occurred near the 5.1 jolt. The timing was “for the history books”, meaning there was a marginal of error for the hour and the date.

In his piece “Reflections after 20 March”, Ring lamented the media and political “beat-up” about his work; he felt they weren’t interested in a rationale consideration of the potential for luna theory to be applied to earthquake forecasting. He remarked the moon was at its closest for 19 years, beginning a week before 20 March 2011. Ergo, the Christchurch Earthquake of February 22 and the Japan Earthquake of March 11, were a demonstration of the formidable forces and devastating destruction associated with this 19 year lunar cycle. The archipelago that sits on the ring of fire missed Ring’s boat.

In 2012, GNS Science became like a rudimentary weather forecaster for earthquakes.

In other words, a year after government scientists, politicians and the media publicly bullied Ken Ring for his attempts to educate the public about the lunar and solar links drivers of earthquakes, GNS published information that bookies could profit off.

Furthermore, four years after Mr Ring became the South Pacific archipelago’s newest scape-goated public pariah to ‘resolve’ yet another crisis for the ruling class, GNS was considering the possibility that solar flares generated geomatic earthquake precursors.

Recall that in September 2016, a Japanese earthquake study found that the moon and sun can impact the seismicity of sub-duction zones with strong correlations?

The Kaikōura earthquake coincided with a supermoon (or perigee moon), which are known to cause ‘kingtides’, since the combined gravitational forces of the moon and the sun — which are lined-up — pull on the ocean. Recall that the prime minister’s chief science adviser, Sir Peter Gluckman, had said there was no relation between the Japanese and Christchurch earthquakes? And the Salvation Army counsellors who said Ken Ring’s earthquake forecasting was terrifying even the most rational people?

And yet, tectonic plates feel tidal stress. Perhaps there’s a classified tier to science, that knew about these forces decades ago and a stealthy asymmetric geophysical war has been waged by amplifying stresses with relatively small directed-energy inputs.

This linkages between earthquakes coinciding with this perigee phenomena was reported, aptly, by The Atlantic two months prior to the Kaikōura Earthquake.

This Atlantic article was based on a Japanese study that concluded “large earthquakes are more probable during periods of high tidal stress.” In their study entitled, “Earthquake potential revealed by tidal influence on earthquake size–frequency statistics”, Satoshi Ide, Suguru Yabe and Yoshiyuki Tanaka find that very large earthquakes, including the 2004 Sumatra quake, 2010 Maule earthquake in Chile and the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquake in Japan, tend to occur near the time of maximum tidal stress amplitude. The Japanese scientists — who trawled databases for amplitude of tidal stress, on a fault plane in the two weeks before large earthquakes — found tectonic tremors deep within subduction zones are highly sensitive to tidal stress levels, with the tremor rate increasing at an exponential rate with rising tidal stress.

The Japanese science team stated:

“Tidal deformations of the Earth due to motions of the Sun and Moon cause changes in the stress state, which may trigger earthquakes. The recent discovery of deep tectonic tremors in plate boundary regions has slightly modified our view of the relationship between tidal stresses and earthquakes, as these tremors are sometimes highly sensitive to tidal stress changes, with tremor rates showing an exponential increase in proportion to the applied encouraging stress. Thus, even stress changes of only a few [Kilopascal]* kPa can amplify the tremor rate by several orders. Knowledge of the tidal stress state in seismic regions can be used to improve probabilistic earthquake forecasting, especially for extremely large earthquakes.” — Satoshi Ide, Nature Geoscience, 12 September 2016
