Charlie Mitchell’s so-called “journalism” in The Press – that pathetic hit piece masquerading as news – is nothing but a recycled pack of lies from Liz Gunn, twisted into a narrative to distract from real issues facing New Zealanders. Let’s dismantle this farce point by point, with facts, not fantasy. Mitchell, you took my direct responses and buried them under Gunn’s delusions. Time to set the record straight – hard and unapologetic.

First, the “ghost party” nonsense. NZ Loyal isn’t dead; it’s alive and kicking as an organization. Gunn’s unconstitutional stunt – ordering former secretary Michele Smith to deregister without board approval or a proper meeting – doesn’t erase us. We’re re-registering with the Electoral Commission, and my use of the name, logo, and branding is legitimate because they belong to the party, not her ego.

Why not start a new party? Because this one isn’t broken; it’s just been sabotaged by a fraud. I’ve sued Gunn and Smith in Manukau District Court – the evidence there shreds their charade. Mitchell, you ignored this lawsuit because it exposes the truth you won’t print.

Gunn’s whine about “misleading voters” and “theft”? Pure projection from a con artist. Every NZ Loyal policy? I wrote them. Her teleprompter speeches? My words, tweaked by Amy Benjamin, then spun by Gunn’s theatrics. The party’s name and tagline “Loyal to you – Not to them”? Born in a group effort – Rob suggested “Loyal,” I crafted the tagline. Gunn tried to steal it all via a trademark application (stalled for a year – check IPONZ yourself). She’s the thief, hoarding donations in secret accounts with zero records, bolting with the database and assets while the board – which never even met under her – opposed her every move. We’ve eviscerated her lies in a two-hour Counterspin Media rebuttal: watch it on Rumble and see the receipts.

Why did our “relationship deteriorate”? Simple: challenge Gunn’s opacity, demand accountability, and she ghosts you, then unleashes a torrent of victim-playing slander. Classic playbook from someone exposed as a sham. Mitchell, your fixation on this feud reeks of agenda – why amplify a disgraced has-been’s rants instead of my by-election platform in Tāmaki Makaurau? Voters deserve focus on economic betrayal, sovereignty threats, and real solutions, not your archaeological digs into fabricated drama.

NZ Loyal, Counterspin Media, and I have already obliterated Gunn’s fiction. This isn’t a feud; it’s accountability.

Mitchell and The Press, your “reporting” is utter bullshit – the system is shitting bricks because you all know we’re coming for you. Within a weeks time, I’ll make my intentions so perfectly clear that even half-wits like you won’t miss the messaging.

New Zealanders, join the fight for truth at the ballot box.

Loyal to you, not them.

TVNZ’s 1News journalist Te Aniwa Hurihanganui requested an interview with me today. Unable to attend, I asked for written questions. For transparency and accuracy, I’ve shared the questions and my exact responses below, as I requested they be reported verbatim.

Why are you running for the Tamaki Makaurau Seat?

Response: I decided to stand for Tamaki Makaurau because I believe I am better equipped than those with an ethno-supremacist mindset to address the issues facing us all. Having already witnessed the rabid response from many identifying as ‘Maori’, it illustrates the amount of work required to pull us all back from the brink of civil unrest. We all have a common enemy, and that enemy is not each other. I am from both worlds, so I can see with a sense of clarity that several of the other candidates lack.

Professor Mohan Dutta has told 1News you have been a prolific spreader of disinformation and conspiracy theories, including around covid-19 vaccine harm. He also said some of your comments, including one about hanging politicians, is dangerous. What’s your response to this?

Response: Professor Dutta perfectly embodies what ‘educated just enough to be stupid’ means. As for being a prolific spreader of ‘disinformation’, I shall say this – I have been proven to be 100% correct. The jabs were not ‘safe and effective’. The jabs have cause death and harm to countless. Perhaps the professor needs to get out of the classroom more and do a tour of the country and ask people how they were affected?

The comment about ‘hanging politicians’ further demonstrates the professor’s ignorance and desire for snappy sound bites. He will discover, if he bothers to reexamine my words, I stated words like: if this was the days of old, people would have kicked down doors, dragged out the politicians and hung them from the nearest lampposts. What happened to this country during the time of the great scamdemic is a tragedy and requires full-blown criminal investigations – not whitewash, feel-good, nothing-burger inquiries where the people are always shafted. That is something, along with many other solutions that I will work towards.

Do you regret having said this comment?

Response: I do not regret saying a damn thing. I say what is required to be said – not what is popular. Unlike mainstream media, all my reporting has been correct. In fact, I am still awaiting the evidence where I have been wrong.

Fellow Candidate Peeni Henare says it’s a travesty you’ve been allowed to run in this seat, what is your response to that?

Response: Without so much as a conversation with me, Peeni has decided to adopt an unsustainable position. How long has he been in parliament? What exactly has he achieved beyond being a labour party lapdog and furthering the destruction of this country? I would suggest it may be two-tenths of stuff all. Perhaps he should be disqualified for being a globalist?

Do you affiliate to any hapu/iwi?

Response: I affiliate to everyone in this country who gives a damn and wants government brought under control where they facilitate and not dictate. Where they heal and not harm. Where we, the people do as we please without causing harm to another, void of government overreach and where we bring a screeching halt to mass immigration, which will soon make all this moot, if the current regime has its way – even united at that point, we would be the minority.

However, since this will no doubt be brought up many, many times, I shall provide the following:

I affiliate with Maniapoto through the Te Kanawa line. Thomas Te Kanawa married Nell Green. Nell had Stan and Nola. They adopted a girl who became known as Kiri Te Kanawa. Nola adopted my mother. There is a 5-year age gap between my mother and Kiri and a 25-year age gap between Kiri and her sister, Nola [now deceased].

Let’s add to that my affiliation with the Hita line through my stepfather Johnny Hita [His father George Hita [Kaikohe]].

Let’s even go a little further and search the Tainui beneficiary roll and discover my name on there, too, via Ngati Tahinga [Port Waikato] Whanagai through Inuwai Mckinnon.

Or the Macfarlanes taking me to Waitaha.

I was born and bred in Mangere and growing up we never experienced the utter bullshit we are all suffering today where we are all turned against one another because revisionist historians want to create a self-serving gravy train while the vast majority receive nothing except platitudes and unfilled promises.

NZ Loyal leader Kelvyn Alp has been officially selected to contest the Tāmaki Makaurau by-election, following the passing of Te Pāti Māori MP Takutai Tarsh Kemp on June 26, 2025.

The by-election will decide the next representative for this significant Māori electorate, which covers central, southern, and parts of western Auckland.

“Māori deserve a voice that cuts through the noise — not adds to it,” Alp said. “Past leaders have dressed windows while the house stagnates. I’m here to shift the mindset and drive real change in this by-election.”

He added: “The Māori electorate has been sold superficial promises for too long. It’s time for a leader who tackles real issues with clarity and courage — because without a new mindset, we’ll stay anchored in place.”

There are currently five candidates standing in the race

🗳️ Make Your Vote Count

If you’re on the Māori Roll in Tāmaki Makaurau, mark Saturday 6 September 2025 on your calendar. This is your opportunity to vote for change — to back a future where New Zealanders call the shots.

Kelvyn’s candidacy is a rallying cry for courageous leadership. Let’s seize the moment.

NZ Loyal has committed to standing a candidate in the Tamaki Makaurau by-election.

The electorate has been at the centre of controversy surrounding the Manurewa Marae’s misuse of census data and tax-payers’ money to influence the result in the previous election.

NZ Loyal is committed to exposing this corruption and ending co-governance in New Zealand.

The by-election will be held on Saturday, 6th September.

Party president Brenton Faithfull has referred three banks to the Banking Ombudsman after they refused to open bank accounts for NZ Loyal. Kiwibank, ASB and Nelson Building Society were named in the document.

No reason was provided by the banks for the refusal of service.

I went a bit off track track today, with an excursion into what seemed like the back of beyond to catch up with an avid Loyalist! 

Whilst only half an hour out of Lawrence, it was quite the road trip, actually not the road as most of us know it lol. Winding into the hills, on gravelly dirt road, ruts and bends, and narrowing to almost one lane. I wondered what I’d let myself in for! It became very clear why the lady, after giving me directions said to me “well you’re very brave” haha. I’m inspired to take up 4 wheel driving 😂

But what fun I had, the scenery was spectacular and to finally meet one of our members I’d had a few chats with, was the icing on the cake. What a lovely soul, it was heartwarming to be welcomed into her nook of NZ, in absolute seclusion by a stunning lake.

If we don’t seek, we don’t find, and what a most uplifting find I had today! It’s all about the people and this beautiful country we live in!

As I make my way  around, connecting with people who share titbits of their lives, it’s evident that so many want to see change. Positive change that will create well-being, security, success, and prosperity for all.

People want to be free to get on with their lives in peace, and vigor. Not to be burdened by drudgery, being controlled and treading water to simply survive. People want to prosper by their own hands to THRIVE! 

Stand with us at NZ Loyal, together we can make this a reality. You the people are the party, the policies are the solutions.

While the world’s eyes are glued to the bloodshed in the Middle East, New Zealanders must wrench their focus back to the catastrophe unfolding on our own soil. Our nation is hemorrhaging – strangled by a collapsing economy, crushed under unpayable debt, and plagued by soaring homelessness as families are driven from their homes by obscene rates hikes. Hospitals are flooded with patients suffering from debilitating health issues tied to the COVID jabs many were forced/coerced into taking, sold as “safe and effective” but now exposed as a toxic lie. Crime is spiraling, with violence and theft turning our streets into battlegrounds. Yet, our politicians – both government and opposition – stand united in their betrayal, peddling poison pills like snake oil salesmen, swearing they’ll fix the mess they created while plunging us deeper into ruin.

The National-led coalition’s “fast-track” legislation is a grotesque sham, a thinly veiled rebrand of the globalist “Build Back Better” agenda. It’s a fire sale of our sovereignty, handing our resources to multinational vultures while Kiwis are left to starve. But don’t be fooled into thinking the opposition parties are your saviors. Labour and their allies play their tired script, screeching at every government move while praying you forget their own role in pissing away New Zealand’s future. They inflicted irreparable damage – shattering the economy, shredding personal lives, and leaving wounds that will fester for decades. Their lockdowns, mandates, and reckless spending turned thriving communities into ghost towns, and their legacy is the despair you see on every street corner.

The Middle East conflict isn’t just a distant tragedy – it’s a screaming wake-up call. New Zealand’s energy dependence leaves us vulnerable, at the mercy of global chaos. We must prioritize energy independence and security, but our leaders are too busy kowtowing to foreign interests to care. And then there’s immigration – a ticking time bomb. By importing waves of people who don’t share our values or sense of identity, we’re not just changing our society; we’re erasing it. The demographic shift is so drastic that, in a few short years, New Zealand as we know it will cease to exist. Our culture, our heritage, our way of life – gone, replaced by a fragmented, unrecognizable mess. This isn’t progress; it’s cultural suicide.

The numbers are chilling. National debt has ballooned to over $150 billion, with interest payments alone devouring funds that could rebuild schools or hospitals. Homelessness has surged by 40% in five years, with families living in cars while councils jack up rates by double digits to fund pet projects. Crime stats are a horror show – violent offenses up 20%, burglaries spiking, and police stretched so thin they can barely respond and the recruits? An absolute joke. And the jab-related injuries? Doctors are quietly reporting a surge in heart conditions, neurological disorders, and unexplained deaths, but the government’s response is to bury the truth and vilify anyone who asks questions.

This is New Zealand today: a nation betrayed by its leaders, bled dry by globalist agendas, and teetering on the edge of oblivion. The politicians – government and opposition alike – aren’t just failing us; they’re complicit in our destruction. They’ll keep smiling, promising salvation, while they sell our future to the highest bidder. Kiwis, it’s time to face the gut-wrenching truth: our country is slipping away, and if we don’t act now, there will be nothing left to save. Wake up, get angry, and finally choose to remove those parasites, before it’s too late.

If you genuinely want to solve the problems, all you have to do is elect the solutions: nzloyal.com/policy

We’re drowning. Not in water, but in a relentless flood of content – podcasts, Substacks, X posts, TikToks, YouTube rants, and self-styled “exposés” that clog the internet’s arteries. Everyone’s got a hot take, a bombshell, or a “truth” they’re desperate to scream into the void. Each thinks they’re the prophet we’ve been waiting for. But this tsunami of noise isn’t waking us up – it’s paralyzing us, numbing our minds, and strangling progress. The cult of content for content’s sake is killing our ability to think, act, and achieve.

Look at the vaccine injury and death debate. The internet is a graveyard of stories, stats, and tearful videos about the jab’s harm. Posts pile up, podcasts multiply, and comments sections overflow with outrage. Yet, for all the digital ink spilled, what’s changed? The killing hasn’t stopped. The guilty haven’t faced justice. The sheer volume of content – repetitive, redundant, and often self-serving – creates a fog so thick it blinds us to the real fight: ending the harm and holding those responsible accountable. Instead of galvanizing action, this content overload breeds apathy, giving people the illusion they’ve “done something” by liking a post or sharing a clip. It’s not just ineffective – it’s counterproductive, turning a crisis into a circus.

This isn’t just about vaccines. The same pattern poisons every major issue. Take the so-called “climate change” narrative – a scam designed to strip people of control and rights under the guise of saving the planet. The flood of contradictory data, from doomsday predictions to skeptical takedowns, keeps the debate alive, not the truth. Real environmental problems like pollution, waste, and deforestation are sidelined while governments and corporations push restrictive policies that do little but tighten their grip. The endless content war ensures we’re arguing about carbon footprints instead of implementing obvious solutions: clean up the rivers, stop the clear-cutting, and end the waste choking our ecosystems.

Social justice is another casualty. Hashtags and viral videos drown out the hard work of policy reform and community organizing. Everywhere, content becomes a substitute for action, a feel-good placebo for those too comfortable to roll up their sleeves.

Worse, this flood births a new breed of self-anointed gurus. They’ve watched a YouTube video, read half a Substack, or skimmed a manifesto, and suddenly they’re experts on rights, freedoms, or the end of the world. These armchair revolutionaries spout jargon, sling buzzwords, and fracture movements with their egos. They don’t build bridges – they burn them, diverting energy from those grinding toward real solutions. Remember the “sovereign citizen” types who swore they’d dismantle the system with their arcane legal loopholes? Where are they now? Faded into irrelevance, their followers left disillusioned, their efforts a footnote in the fight for change.

The damage is real. Content overload dulls our cognitive edge, turning critical thinkers into passive consumers. It splinters unity, as every new “voice” competes for clout instead of collaborating for results. It fosters a culture where sharing a post feels like activism, where outrage is mistaken for progress. We’re not moving forward – we’re stuck, mesmerized by the glow of our screens while the world burns.

So, what’s the way out? Stop worshipping at the altar of content. Focus on outcomes, not noise. For vaccine injuries, the goal isn’t more tear-jerking stories or “shocking” stats – it’s justice. Demand criminal investigations. Push for policy changes. Hold pharmaceutical giants and complicit officials accountable. Make them feel the weight of their actions. Anything less is just more clutter.

This applies everywhere. For the environment, ditch the climate scam debates and target real issues: ban toxic dumping, protect forests, and enforce waste reduction. Social justice warriors need to know the detail of their subject matter, not just amplify performative rage. Gun rights defenders should focus on protecting or creating constitutional freedoms and dismantling restrictive laws that infringe on self-defense, not just sharing stats on defensive gun use. The pattern is clear: real change comes from relentless focus on tangible goals, not from flooding the zone with more data.

To break free, we must:

1. Define the endgame. What’s the goal? Be specific – vague ideals don’t cut it.
2. Act, don’t just amplify. Sharing isn’t doing. Get off the couch and into the fight.
3. Ignore the noise. Clickbait and influencers are distractions, not solutions.
4. Back the builders. Support those doing the real work – organizers, advocates, policy wonks – not the loudest megaphone.
5. Demand accountability. If a movement or “leader” isn’t delivering results, call them out and move on.

The internet’s a tool, not a temple. Stop chasing likes, shares, and self-proclaimed prophets. Stop drowning in content for content’s sake. The world doesn’t need more noise – it needs results. Cut through the bullshit, focus on the fight, and don’t let the flood of words bury the truth. Progress isn’t a post. It’s a purpose. Get to work.

Are you done? Done with the gaslighting, the lies, the corruption that festers like an open wound? Are you sick of watching the medical industry peddle harm, pushing drugs and jabs while cancers and diseases skyrocket, poisoning our bodies with every breath, bite, and sip? Our air, land, and water are choked with chemicals, seeping into our food chain, our children, our very existence. And for what? Profit. Power. Control.

Have you had your fill of marches, petitions, submissions, and letters that vanish into the void of deaf ears? How many protests have you attended, chanting for change, only to see the same globalist agenda steamroll forward? I’ve been screaming it from the rooftops: this agenda is coming, whether you like it or not. Unless you snap out of your delusion that the same tired political parties – recycled faces, recycled promises – will somehow save you, nothing changes. They won’t. They’re complicit.

Look around. Organisations claim to be “for the people,” then herd you like sheep to vote for the very same suits who’ve gutted our country. The economy’s in freefall, lives are shattered, and division is sown through manufactured outrage and rewritten history. They pit us against each other while they feast. Your rights are being stripped – freedom of speech gagged by censorship laws, property rights eroded by predatory regulations, and bodily autonomy crushed under medical mandates. You’re told what to say, what to think, what to inject, all while they tighten the noose.

Are you tired of it yet?

Tired of watching our children become targets, their futures stolen, while parents are reduced to powerless bystanders? The state gets away with murder – literal and figurative – while inquiries, those feel-good nothing-burgers, deliver zero justice, zero accountability.

Feel the weight of your bills piling up? The sleepless nights, the depression, the despair as you scrape by? Meanwhile, politicians bask in lavish lifestyles, pocketing pay rises and perks for their treasonous loyalty to globalist masters. They don’t care about the homeless – those numbers only look “better” because they’ve defunded emergency housing and kicked the vulnerable to the curb. Work, they demand, but where are the jobs? The economy tanks under their useless policies, and yet they have the gall to raise rates, taxes, and costs, squeezing you dry until property ownership – your birthright – slips through your fingers. It’s all part of their plan to strip you of your freedoms, to leave you owning nothing, voiceless and powerless.

Cancers are spiking. Heart disease, infertility, chronic ailments – they’re not accidents. They’re the fallout of medical tyranny, of a system that profits from your suffering. Domestic violence is surging, crime is rampant, and why? Because people feel worthless, crushed under the boot of a government that thrives on their misery. Families are breaking, spirits are crumbling, and the parasites in power – backed by their police thugs and rubber-stamped by complicit courts – will never, ever, let go of that power willingly.

You know it. I know it. We’re sick of it. Sick of the betrayal, the lies, the pain. We know you’ve been let down, time and again, by those who promised change and delivered ruin. We know many of you are giving up, hearts heavy with despair, because every other party has failed you.

But, New Zealand Loyal will not. We stand for decentralization, a real and sound economy, less government strangling your life, protection for our children, and justice – real justice – with retribution for those who’ve bled us dry.

One vote. One day. It can change everything. Will you finally stand up, or will you let them win?
