In an era where the machinery of control grinds forward with mechanical precision, one must confront a brutal truth: resistance, as it’s commonly practiced, is a farce. Petitions circulate like digital confetti, protests swell and dissipate like fleeting storms, online outrage erupts in echo chambers only to fizzle into apathy, and cease-and-desist notices gather dust in bureaucratic drawers. Yet, the agenda marches on unabated. Globalist blueprints for domination – digital IDs tethering every soul to a surveillance grid, the erosion of nation-states into borderless vassals, the orchestrated collapse of economies, energy supplies, and food production – proceed without so much as a stutter. Why? Because these acts of “resistance” are paper tigers designed to roar but never bite.

Consider the ancient Roman tactic of bread and circuses: feed the masses just enough sustenance and spectacle to keep them docile. Today, it’s evolved into a sophisticated web of distractions and misdirections. The carrot dangled on a stick? Imminent salvation, if only you wait long enough, pray fervently enough, or believe hard enough in some messianic figure or movement. Social media algorithms amplify trivial scandals, celebrity meltdowns, and partisan squabbles, while the real architects of subjugation operate in the shadows. We’re lulled into complacency, chasing illusions of change while the noose tightens.

The cruel irony? The common denominator in our subjugation is us. We perpetuate the cycle by electing the same political parasites, cycle after cycle, who parrot scripted platitudes while taking marching orders from unelected bureaucrats beholden to globalist overlords. We clamor for the “right” to peaceful protest, and it’s graciously granted – because it’s peaceful, predictable, and utterly ineffective. It poses no threat to the status quo; it’s a pressure valve, releasing steam without dismantling the boiler. Meanwhile, we sideline the real fighters – those who unleash truth like a category 5 hurricane, backed by evidence and unyielding resolve. Instead, we immerse ourselves in personality cults or smear campaigns, labeling someone “controlled opposition” based on hearsay, without a shred of proof. Division is the ultimate weapon, and we wield it against ourselves.

This onslaught isn’t hypothetical; it’s here, and it’s unstoppable under the current paradigm. We’ve warned about it for years – others have echoed the same – and yet, delusion persists. People cling to the fantasy that they can halt the tide through votes, rallies, or viral posts. You cannot. The reason is simple: you’ve accepted the deliberate limitations of the “rights” you’re allowed. You’ve forgotten – or never learned – the fundamental rights that must be exercised and defended against any encroachment. No government should ever hold the power to regulate your life absent of clear evidence of harm to a real victim. You are inherently free to travel without permits, assemble without approval, receive and impart information without censorship, sustain yourself from the land without interference, and trade freely without tariffs or taxes that serve no purpose but extraction.

These rights have been systematically stripped away, replaced by a labyrinth of licenses, directives, detentions, and penalties that presume guilt and demand compliance. The education system is the forge of this obedience: it churns out generations of compliant consumers, devoid of practical life skills, riddled with identity crises. Parents, derelict in their duty of care, have consented to this indoctrination, handing their children over as wards of the state. Your son or daughter is not state property, yet through manipulated consent forms and societal pressure, that’s precisely what they’ve become.

The theft runs deeper. Religion has claimed your soul, imposing dogmas that stifle critical thought. Lawyers have usurped your identity, turning you into a legal fiction navigable only through their fees. Bankers have seized your wealth, ensnaring you in debt traps and fiat illusions. Collectively, they’ve eroded your unique sovereignty, leaving a hollow shell programmed for submission.

It’s heartbreaking to witness the world burn while so many remain ensnared by archaic traditions – religious, cultural, or political – that blind them to reality. Their stupidity doesn’t just harm them; it spills over, affecting us all when they vote for political whores who claim dominion through that very ballot. The notion that we can simply “opt out” of the system or cling to some antiquated document – like a constitution long perverted – is ludicrous. This plan has unfolded over centuries, embedding itself so deeply that organized resistance is co-opted or crushed before it gains traction.

Next time you approach a voting booth, break the habit. Shun the propped-up puppets granted airtime by complicit media; they’re not on your side, and most lack the intellect or integrity to reverse the decay. Take unflinching stock of what’s unfolding – the tangible results of inaction, the accelerating descent into a technocratic prison. We can not change the entire world; that’s a fool’s errand. But we can absolutely save our homes, our families, our immediate spheres – by rejecting the illusions, reclaiming true freedoms, and acting with ruthless clarity. The resistance isn’t impotent by nature; it’s impotent because we’ve made it so. It’s time to forge something real.

The Ugly Reality of Why People Snap and the Bloodbath That Follows

Imagine this: You’re not a monster. You’re a Kiwi – maybe a parent, a tradie, a patient – who’s been kicked in the teeth one too many times by a machine that doesn’t give a damn. The bills pile up, ACC plays God with your injury claim, Work and Income treats you like a criminal, and every door you knock on slams shut. You’ve screamed, you’ve begged, you’ve voted, you’ve marched. Nothing. Zilch. The gatekeepers – government, corporates, courts – keep grinding forward, treating you like collateral damage. And then, one day, the fuse burns out. You snap.

It’s not because you want to hurt anyone – it’s because the pain has nowhere else to go. Violence born of desperation doesn’t land on the guilty. It lands on the innocent – families, co-workers, bystanders – who bleed because the system made you invisible.

This isn’t glorification. It’s a gut-punch warning. Unless those in power start listening to the wreckage they’re creating – the botched medical system, the corruption rotting government, the policies that crush families – more blood will spill. And when it does, the dead can’t sue, the silenced can’t vote, and the broken will rise.

The Doctor’s Knife: When Medical Nightmares Turn Deadly

Picture a family man in Christchurch, healthy one day, waking up from a routine procedure and suddenly condemned to chronic pain. ACC denies his claim. The DHB shrugs. He can’t work. He begs for help – scans, compensation, anything. But they gaslight him: “It’s all in your head.” His marriage breaks. His kids go hungry. We’ve seen it here. Kiwi families forced to crowdfund cancer treatments because Pharmac won’t fund them. Parents pleading for experimental drugs, denied on cost grounds while bureaucrats bank salaries. This is the spark for rage. And rage ignored festers.

The Puppet Masters: Corruption and Cover-Ups That Bury the Truth

Governments here claim to serve the people, but in reality, they serve themselves and their donors. Look at the revolving door of politicians sliding into cushy consultancy gigs with corporates they once regulated. Look at lobbyists’ writing policy while ordinary people queue at foodbanks. We’ve seen cover-ups in New Zealand before. Pike River families are still fighting for truth. Oranga Tamariki scandals buried under PR spin.

Whistleblowers smeared, silenced, or dragged through endless court cases. The lesson? Don’t challenge the machine – it will crush you to protect itself.

Shattered Homes: Poverty’s Slow Burn to Family Carnage

Poverty here isn’t an abstract number. It’s the mum in South Auckland skipping meals so her kids can eat. It’s the dad in Kaitaia working two jobs and still facing eviction because rents have exploded. The statistics are clear: child poverty drives violence, desperation, and crime. Family violence here is among the highest in the OECD. Yet instead of fixing the root causes, governments patch over the wounds with reports and slogans. That pressure cooker boils until someone explodes – and the innocents, not the policymakers, pay the price.

Policy Poison: “Progress” That Destroys Livelihoods

Politicians beam as they sign climate deals, trade pacts, and automation policies, promising “more jobs.” Meanwhile, logging towns collapse, freezing works close, and families who gave their lives to industries are tossed on the scrap heap. We’ve seen this across provincial New Zealand: whole communities gutted by job losses while government pats itself on the back. Addiction, suicide, and violence follow in the vacuum. Those responsible sip wine at Beehive functions while ordinary Kiwis bury their loved ones.

Kangaroo Courts: Justice Denied

The courts here don’t deliver justice – they deliver theatre. Farmers protesting water regulations are dragged before judges, while white-collar criminals cut deals behind closed doors. Those who challenge the government’s narrative face ruin while actual corruption goes unpunished. This breeds conspiracy, distrust, and eventually rage. When people lose faith in justice, they take matters into their own hands. And the police? They’re the blunt instrument used to silence the dissenters, not the criminals in suits.

The Christchurch Echo: Suppression That Fuels the Fire

This is personal. The Christchurch mosque shootings in 2019 were a tragedy that shook our nation. But when people asked questions about the official narrative, the government’s response was swift: suppression, censorship, and persecution. I know this because I’ve lived it. The full weight of the state has been used against me. I was bankrupted, financially ruined, and dragged through the courts for daring to speak.

Hannah Spierer, too, was arrested and now faces 14 years in prison because a link – just a link – to a foreign documentary site was shared on Counterspin Media’s Telegram in February 2022. That same content wasn’t deemed “objectionable” until March 10. By law, there is no retrospective application in classification legislation. Meaning no crime at the time. Yet they are trying to jail us. Why? To send a message: We will silence you, and we will get away with it.

The evidence proving the mosque attack video was fake has been provided to media, to police, to government ministers. They all remain silent. Silent because the truth shatters their narrative. Silent because corruption runs to the highest levels. We have proven a conspiracy. This should be front-page news. It isn’t. Why? Because they hold the monopoly on threat and fear. They use it to intimidate and destroy. They have tried to destroy me. They will try to destroy anyone else who dares speak.

But we will not bow.

The Mirror: Your Distrust is the System’s Nightmare

Look in the mirror. Do you trust a single politician anymore? Do you trust the justice system? The media? Every speech, every slogan, and every promise is manipulation. The machine exists to preserve itself – not you.

When people lose everything, when they are ground to dust by corruption, poverty, medical negligence, and lies, they snap. And when they do, the innocent suffer. This isn’t inevitable – but unless we demand answers, unless we expose every cover-up and hold every traitor to account, the explosions will keep coming. The blood will not only be on the hands of those who pulled the trigger – but on every minister, judge, journalist, and bureaucrat who protected lies and silenced truth.

The victims of Christchurch – and every Kiwi betrayed by this system – deserve truth, not narratives crafted for public consumption. And until we get it, the storm will only grow.

RAW. HARD. KIWI TRUTH.

Wake up, New Zealanders – it’s time to stop swallowing the endless stream of distractions and shifting narratives peddled by those in power. For decades, we’ve been fed official stories that crumble under scrutiny, leaving victims forgotten and the guilty unpunished. These aren’t isolated blunders; they’re patterns of negligence, cover-ups, and outright betrayal by “officials” who prioritize their agendas over our lives and sovereignty. Remember them. Hold them accountable. Or watch as we all become serfs on our own land, bleeding dry to feed parasitic leeches posing as honorable representatives. Here’s the damning list – starting with what you’ve flagged, and filling in the gaps with other festering wounds that demand justice:

• Erebus Plane Crash (1979): Air New Zealand Flight TE901 slammed into Mt Erebus in Antarctica, killing all 257 on board. The initial blame fell on pilots, but inquiries revealed airline navigation errors and a whitewash by authorities to protect the national carrier. Decades later, the truth still stings – government complicity in burying facts to save face.
• Pike River Mine Disaster (2010): 29 miners trapped and killed in explosions at this West Coast hellhole, thanks to shoddy safety oversight and corporate greed. Promises of recovery and justice dragged on for years, with families left in limbo while officials dodged blame. The mine’s re-entry? A farce delayed by bureaucracy and fear of exposing more rot.
• Christchurch Mosque Attacks (2019): The official narrative states a white supremacist slaughtered 51 innocents in a hate-fuelled rampage. Security agencies fumbled warnings, and the official narrative glossed over intelligence failures. Gun laws changed overnight, but real accountability for preventable lapses? Still waiting, while divisions fester. However, the ‘lone gunman’ narrative was recently destroyed by Gareth Jacobs (a digital forensic expert) who travelled to Thailand with me to undertake a full forensic examination and analysis of the Christchurch Mosque Attack video – it was proven to be FAKE! This screams cover-up, manipulation of the public, and the direct involvement of others.
• Cave Creek Platform Collapse (1995): 14 conservation students plunged to their deaths when a Department of Conservation viewing platform gave way in Paparoa National Park. Gross negligence in construction and maintenance exposed systemic government incompetence – no one prosecuted, just hollow apologies.
• COVID Jab Injuries and Deaths: Thousands report severe side effects or worse from mandated vaccines, but officials dismiss them as “rare”, coincidental or “long covid”. Whistleblowers silenced, data manipulated, and compensation a joke – while Big Pharma rakes in billions. The narrative shifts, but the suffering doesn’t. (Note: Broader controversies in vaccine rollout tie into global mandates.)
• Medical Butchery by Gynecological ‘Experts’ (Cartwright Inquiry, 1987-88): At National Women’s Hospital, doctors like Herb Green conducted unethical experiments on women with cervical abnormalities, withholding treatment to “study” cancer progression. Hundreds harmed or killed in this state-sanctioned horror; the inquiry exposed it, but justice was piecemeal, and the system protected its own.

And don’t stop there – the rot runs deeper. Add these to the ledger of betrayal:

• Rainbow Warrior Bombing (1985): French agents sank Greenpeace’s ship in Auckland Harbor to stop nuclear protests, killing photographer Fernando Pereira. NZ authorities caught them, but the government’s soft handling and quick prisoner release reeked of international pressure over national interest.
• Abuse in State Care (Ongoing Scandal): Thousands of Kiwi kids tortured, raped, and broken in government institutions like Lake Alice. The Royal Commission exposed electroshock “therapy” and systemic cover-ups spanning decades – yet apologies ring hollow as survivors fight for redress against stonewalling officials.
• Urewera Raids (2007): Armed police stormed Māori communities on flimsy “terrorism” claims, arresting 17 in a botched operation fueled by paranoia. Charges dropped, but the damage to trust and rights lingers – classic overreach to suppress dissent.
• Winebox Affair (1990s): Massive tax evasion schemes involving corporations and banks, with allegations of fraud and political interference. Inquiries dragged on, exposing cozy ties between big business and government, but few heads rolled.
• Dirty Politics (2014): Exposed by Nicky Hager’s book, showing National Party operatives using bloggers for smear campaigns and leaks. Official denials crumbled, revealing how power brokers manipulate media and public opinion without consequence.
• Fire Sales of NZ Assets: From the 1980s Rogernomics sell-offs of telecoms, railways, and banks to foreign buyers, to John Key’s partial privatizations of power companies in the 2010s. Justified as “economic necessity,” but really handing our wealth to overseas corporates for pennies, eroding sovereignty while Kiwis foot higher bills.
• Imposition of Global Agendas: Shoving through TPP/TPPA deals, UN migration pacts, and WHO dictates that prioritize international elites over local needs. These erode borders, jobs, and freedoms – sold as “progress” but delivering control to unelected bodies diametrically opposed to Kiwi interests.
• Stoking Racial Division: From foreshore and seabed laws stripping Māori rights to inflammatory rhetoric pitting Pākehā against iwi. Governments exploit Treaty grievances for votes, deepening divides while ignoring historical injustices like land confiscations.
• Deliberate Targeting of Farmers: Burdening our backbone industry with emissions taxes, water regulations, and “He Waka Eke Noa” schemes that drive family farms under. Framed as “saving the planet,” but really punishing producers to appease urban greens and global carbon traders.
• Bullshit Climate Change Lunacy: Forcing zero-emission madness with EV mandates, carbon pricing, and farm-killing policies, all based on hyped models that ignore NZ’s tiny global footprint. It’s wealth transfer to consultants and corporates, not real solutions – while ignoring volcanic and solar influences.
• Dow Chemical’s Agent Orange Poisoning (Vietnam War Era): Dow Chemical and other US firms violated the Geneva Convention by producing and supplying the toxic defoliant Agent Orange – laced with dioxin – for use in Vietnam, where it caused widespread poisoning, birth defects, and environmental devastation. New Zealand troops serving there were exposed, suffering long-term health horrors like cancers and neurological damage, yet governments and companies denied responsibility for decades. It took until 2008 for NZ officials to admit the exposure, but compensation remains a battle, with Dow settling US veteran lawsuits without admitting liability – leaving Kiwi vets in the lurch.
• Lack of Police Accountability in Fatal Shootings: Time and again, NZ police overstep boundaries, claiming lives unnecessarily when de-escalation, tasers, or other methods are available – yet face zero real consequences. Cases like the preventable shooting of Shargin Stephens (2015), where a young officer got too close and fired despite alternatives; the unjustified killing of Kaoss Price (2022); and the high rate of Māori deaths highlight systemic issues: poor training, shoot-to-kill policies, and toothless oversight from the Independent Police Conduct Authority. Inquiries criticize, but prosecutions? Rare as hen’s teeth, letting cops play judge, jury, and executioner.
• Dunedin Sex Trafficking Ring Cover-Up (1990s): A sordid network of child sex abuse and trafficking in Dunedin involved high-profile figures, with explosive allegations of direct links to then-Labour MP Helen Clark and a massive cover-up orchestrated by Finance Minister Michael Cullen to shield the elite. Investigative journalist Ian Wishart exposed the rot in his book ‘Absolute Power: The Helen Clark Years’, detailing how police parties featured bestiality videos, whistleblowers were silenced, and political heavyweights quashed inquiries to protect their own – leaving vulnerable kids as collateral in a web of power and perversion. (Note: Echoed in Tom Scott’s satirical works highlighting the era’s sleaze, though the core exposé is Wishart’s.)

The list goes on, Kiwis – this is just the tip of the iceberg of betrayals stacked against us.

This has been grinding on for generations, from colonial land grabs to modern mandate madness. Officials – politicians, bureaucrats, experts – hide behind inquiries, apologies, and amnesia. But we can’t afford to forget. Tune out the bread-and-circus distractions: celebrity fluff, endless “crises,” narrative flips. Demand transparency, prosecutions, and an end to the sell-out. If we don’t arrest this now, we’ll wake up as tenants in our own backyard, forking over ever-rising rents to these bloodsuckers who laugh all the way to their offshore accounts. Stand up, Kiwis – before it’s too late!

Listen up, you keyboard warriors lounging on your couches, firing off hot takes from the safety of your screens. You’re quick to mock the ones out there on the front lines – the desperate souls who’ve had enough of this tyrannical tide and are actually doing something about it. You hide behind anonymous handles, spewing venom at those risking everything to push back against a government gone rogue. But let’s be brutally clear: while you’re virtue-signalling and playing armchair revolutionary, the real carnage is unfolding right under your noses. And if we don’t snap out of this collective coma, the explosion will consume us all.

This isn’t some conspiracy rant; it’s the glaring, gut-wrenching reality staring us in the face. Our so-called government? It’s nothing more than a corporate puppet show, with agencies as its enforcer minions, all hell-bent on total domination. They crush the first ones to cross the line – the whistleblowers, the protesters, the everyday Kiwis driven to desperation because they can’t stomach the lies anymore. These are the examples they make: fines, arrests, ruined lives, all to send a message that resistance is futile. And the police? They’re the blunt instrument, imposing their will with impunity because they know there’ll be no real backlash. Hell, it’s encouraged. Body cams off, batons swinging, rights trampled – it’s open season on dissent, and they’re the hunters.

Look around, for Christ’s sake. The flood of unchecked immigration is reshaping New Zealand into something unrecognizable, diluting our culture and straining resources to the breaking point. Meanwhile, the cost-of-living skyrockets as the bankers’ endgame unfolds without a whisper of hindrance. Inflation isn’t an accident; it’s an engineered squeeze, designed to bleed us dry. People are dying suddenly – young, healthy folks dropping like flies – and we’re supposed to pretend it’s normal? Bullshit. Then there are the countless lives shattered by the side effects of those “safe and effective” jabs pushed down our throats. Heart issues, neurological nightmares, fertility bombshells – families torn apart, and the architects walk free.

Businesses are folding left and right, dreams crushed under the weight of regulations and economic sabotage. Homes? Forget it. Families are being rated out of their own properties, forced into the streets because of excessive borrowing by faceless entities that leech off the backs of those who built this nation. Our parliament is infested with political whores, bending over for their globalist master’s with reckless abandon. They sell out our sovereignty for a pat on the head from Davos elites, while a surveillance state creeps in around us – cameras everywhere, digital tracking, enforcement tech straight out of a dystopian nightmare. All to ensure full control, full dominance.

And you? You’re grinding away at soul-sucking jobs, working your guts out just to stay broke. Paycheque to paycheque, barely scraping by, while the elite laugh from their ivory towers. This country, like so many others, is a tinderbox primed to ignite. One spark – a minor injustice, a wrongful arrest, a family pushed too far – and it all goes up in flames. The damage will be immeasurable, wrought by ordinary people who just wanted to live free: free of government overreach, free of corruption, free of the indoctrination and grooming poisoning our kids in schools.

There’s an old saying: One day, good men are going to have to do very bad things to bad men. New Zealand is teetering on that edge. I’ve seen the corruption firsthand – the injustice doled out to anyone who dares stand their ground instead of hiding behind a screen like a manufactured-outrage troll parroting the official line for brownie points. Real men have been beaten down, neutered, labelled “toxic” for fighting for their families, themselves, and the vulnerable. If we keep doing nothing, we’re cowards. We’ve failed our children, handing them a future of chains.

So, what form will that spark take? What will finally shove us over the brink? While we sit in this eerie calm, drowned out by endless digital noise, we wait. We watch. We prepare. But hear this warning loud and clear: violence is the last resort, the ugly inevitability if things don’t change. I’m concerned – deeply – that blood will flow if we don’t act now to prevent it. Pull our so-called representatives into line. Remind them who they work for: us, the people, not shadowy global cabals. And to the police and enforcement arms: get back to your core job. Protect the people, don’t herd us like cattle to the slaughter. Uphold justice, not crush it under boot heels.

If we ignore this, the apathy wins, and the firestorm engulfs everything. Wake up, New Zealand. The line is drawn – cross it before it’s too late or watch it all burn.

NZ Loyal Party Leader Kelvyn Alp spoke with Mike Ryan from The World Today news show.

They discussed a number of topics, including the recent Tamaki Makaurau by-election, where only 27% of voters turned out.

The upcoming 2026 general election was also discussed and why it’s still important to get involved. If those who are awake don’t vote, then those who do, shall decide for all.

The March 15, 2019 Christchurch mosque attacks were also discussed, and the recent report that we released proving the so-called livestream video to be fake. This event was used to usher in draconian legislation, remove guns from good people, and embark on a worldwide ‘Christchurch Call’ initiative to censor free speech.

Given that corporate media still dominates the public discourse, its discussions like these are vital and need to be shared far and wide.

Two decades of failed companies, damning court rulings, unpaid farmers, and trust boards openly targeted — yet regulators still allow them to operate.

The Record of Urquhart and Flett

Craig Urquhart and Alastair Flett continue to present themselves as fund managers. Yet the record shows a consistent pattern: failed companies, unpaid creditors, litigation defeats, and investor losses.

Their investment offerings have been wrapped in assurances of safety, security, and mortgage-backing. Time and again, those assurances have proven unfounded.

Early Warnings

The courts had already identified the risks more than a decade ago:

Spanbild v Urquhart & Miller — the Court ruled there was “no arguable defence” when Urquhart refused to pay his share of a $1.2 million shortfall.

Tubbs v Urquhart — Justice Heath recorded that receivers had to seek an arrest order after Urquhart refused to hand over company records.

The record was already clear: obstruction, non-compliance, and leaving others to carry the financial burden.

Insolvency in 2021 — While Raising Funds

In Re Urquhart [2021] NZHC 1326, Urquhart admitted debts approaching $5 million and proposed to settle at 8.5 cents in the dollar. The Court rejected it, noting “serious public concerns” about his conduct.

At the same time, he and Flett had registered Kiwi Funds Limited and were raising millions from wholesale investors. The contradiction is stark: in court, insolvent; outside court, soliciting investor capital.

The Oxford Finance Case — Pointe Ormiston

The Oxford Finance case underlines the risks. Urquhart borrowed through Pointe Ormiston Estate Limited, but records show he never made a single repayment. His co-director was left financially ruined, losing property as a result.

Companies Office filings were also altered, with documents lodged under the false name “Craig Alexander,” obscuring his history from basic due diligence.

Only Oxford’s threat of public exposure ultimately forced repayment. Regulation did not.

Kiwi Funds: Security That Did Not Exist

By 2024, Kiwi Funds is in the spotlight. Its Information Memorandum stated:

“All investments are secured by first-ranking general security agreements…”

It bore the signature of chairman Alastair Flett, a chartered accountant.

The Court found otherwise: no perfected security existed. In one instance, a GSA was registered only after receivership had begun. Investors who believed they held first-ranking protection were left unsecured. Within five days of the judgment, Flett resigned from all related entities.

Carriers and Farmers Left Exposed

The consequences were not confined to investors on paper.

Between 2023–2024, multiple transport carriers financed by Urquhart and Flett went into receivership or liquidation. When they sought account statements, they were refused.

Farmers who sold livestock through traders financed by them went unpaid — in some cases hundreds of thousands of dollars.

In May 2024, South Island carriers approached this investigation to expose the scale of the problem.

Invoice Factoring and Investor Funds

Further inquiry shows that the carriers and farmers were trading with Urquhart and Flett through their entity NZ Trade Finance Limited, which provided invoice factoring to transport operators and livestock buyers. The funds for this factoring came directly from investor money advanced into Kiwi Funds, the wholesale investment vehicle controlled by both men.

The Kiwi Funds Information Memorandum — recently sourced and supplied to us directly by NZ Invest Group (a new phoenix-branded investment vehicle under which Flett and Urquhart are now trading, seemingly to distance themselves from the Kiwi Funds brand following the October 2024 judgment — though notably, the IM itself still carries Kiwi Funds branding) — states that all such investments are to be secured by first-ranking securities, including general security agreements and mortgages. Kiwi Funds then lent into NZ Trade Finance Limited and NZ Finance Group Limited on those terms. These were the same terms presented to the Māori trust board investor.

However, the October 2024 judgment (sourced from NZLII) found these very terms were not complied with. For over 12 months, Kiwi Funds had knowingly failed to perfect securities, misleading investors about the protection of their money. Pariah media contacted, the investors named in the October 2024 decision, who declined to comment, as citing there is further ongoing High Court proceedings with Kiwi Funds.

This entire investigation began with an aggrieved transport carrier and livestock buyer — FFL Group — (to which NZ Finance Group Limited placed into receivership in March 2024) contacting the platform on the record, alongside multiple South Island carriers who described being on the receiving end of “big bully boy” tactics by Urquhart in particular. Urquhart himself communicated with this platform on multiple occasions, accusing his victims of misinformation. Notably, in the October 2024 judgment, he was found to have misled investors in his dealings.

A clear pattern has emerged throughout this 14-month investigation: victims consistently report being subjected to smear campaigns by both Urquhart and Flett. Their strategy appears consistent — the best form of defence is attack.

During this period, a senior member of an iwi trust was also subjected to a targeted defamation campaign, leaving them to fight for personal and professional survival while litigation continued. The record shows that for Urquhart and Flett, court action is not an exception but a recurring feature of their business model.

Trust Boards Targeted

In October 2024, a trust board was informed that its investments with Urquhart and Flett were “lost.” Instead of restitution, trustees faced aggressive litigation and public criticism.

The timing was notable: these events coincided with the October 2024 judgment against Kiwi Funds. Within days, Flett resigned from all entities.

Fear and Intimidation

Accounts from victims and former employees describe a strategy of fear:

Urquhart is said to boast he can “drag you to hell and back” through litigation.

Flett is reported to deflect scrutiny by attacking the character and record of those who complain.

Meanwhile, lifestyle signals diverge sharply from insolvency claims. In 2021, Urquhart declared himself broke before the High Court; outside it, he continued to live in luxury.

A Familiar Model

The record across cases shows a recurring model:

Investor funds diverted into unrelated acquisitions (Permadeck, Quilt, commercial and residential property).

Investors later told their money was unavailable, tied up and then ultimately “lost.”

At Norfolk Funds Management, both men were forced out for non-disclosures, insolvency issues and ongoing court matters.

Those who challenged them reported being attacked, discredited, or drawn into protracted litigation.

In July and August 2024, Urquhart spoke openly on the record, but later sought to recast or deny those statements.

The Pattern

The record across cases shows the same cycle:

Offer security that does not exist.

Raise capital under the wholesale investor exemption.

Collapse, leaving creditors and investors unpaid.

Deploy litigation against victims, often funded from their own money.

Harass or intimidate complainants.

Withdraw, rebrand, and re-emerge under new structures.

Courts have recognised this. Victims have lived through it. Regulators, however, have not intervened.

Why Reform Is Needed

The wholesale investor exemption remains the central shield. It allows capital to be raised without requiring operators to prove they are fit and proper. Victims face prohibitive legal costs, while the operators continue unchallenged.

Judges have already sounded the alarm:

“No arguable defence.”

“Failure to comply.”

“8.5 cents in the dollar.”

“Serious public concerns.”

The question is no longer about evidence. It is about regulatory will.

Conclusion

The record shows a long trail of collapsed companies, unpaid debts, and investor losses tied to Urquhart and Flett. What also emerges is a pattern of regulatory inaction. Until the wholesale investor exemption is reformed, the cycle of collapse and re-emergence is likely to continue.

In the Tāmaki Makaurau by-election, the choice is clear. While mainstream media props up two establishment hacks, I stand for real change. I am your greatest weapon. Your votes are my ammunition. Load me up, and I’ll do the firing. Let’s forge the only way forward – together.

I’m Kelvyn Alp, and I’m not here to peddle empty promises or establishment rhetoric. I reject division and separatism – we’re all part of the solution, as global pressures like unchecked immigration threaten to drown out our voices, rendering Māori vs. non-Māori debates irrelevant. I’m not “far-right”; no one can pin that label on me with evidence that holds up. My record – using a Māori passport abroad twice, aiding the Māori government since 2000, and personally funding the building bearing my name at Leabank Primary School in 2009 – proves I deliver results, not talk. That building, expedited through my working closely with Manukau City Council, boosted school attendance by providing breakfast clubs, free counselling, and budgeting advice, showing I do, not just say.

While I don’t toe any party line, I stand firmly by the NZ Loyal policies I wrote myself, as they’re real solutions to this country’s problems, not glossy wish-lists dangled without intent to deliver. My greatest asset is understanding both Māori and non-Māori perspectives, always seeking beneficial outcomes for all without disadvantaging any. One person can’t repeal legislation alone – anyone claiming otherwise is dishonest – but I’ll build relationships to drive change based on need, not desire. My priorities are clear: bridge the gap between Māori and non-Māori, tackle predatory businesses, and address poverty’s root causes with facts, not wishful thinking. This by-election is for less than half a term – give me one chance, one term, one time to prove my worth. If I fail, boot me out in 2026.

Unlike front-runners Peni Henare, who’s achieved little since 2014, or Oriini Kaipara, a former media talking head with no exposés, I’ve proven myself through action.

Almost 40% of those in the electorate are under 35 years old, yet voter turnout for that demographic was only 65% at the last election. Why do you think turnout is so low for this demographic and what have you done during the campaign to engage this group and encourage them to vote?

Young people under 35 are fed up with politicians who promise big but deliver nothing, leaving them disillusioned. They see the system propping up establishment hacks while poverty, housing, and job insecurity worsen, making voting feel pointless. In this campaign, I’ve utilized my connections in Tāmaki Makaurau to reach a wide audience, and have used social media platforms for fact-based information dissemination and responded to any questions asked and responded in a way that cuts through the noise. I’ve told them straight: this byelection is their chance to break the cycle. NZ Loyal policies, which I penned, offer real solutions, not empty promises. Give me one term to deliver, and if I don’t, kick me out next year.

If you are successful in this election, what would your top three priorities be specifically for the electorate?

First, I’ll bridge the divide between Māori and non-Māori in Tāmaki Makaurau by fostering real dialogue – talking with each other, not past or at each other – because we’re all part of the solution as bigger threats like immigration dilute our voices. Second, I’ll crack down on predatory businesses and finance companies exploiting our vulnerable families, using evidence-based policies to stop their scams. Third, I’ll tackle poverty’s root causes – lack of education, jobs, and health access – with solutions grounded in need, not wants, to benefit all without disadvantaging any, reflecting my ability to understand both sides.

How would you work with mana whenua groups to ensure their concerns and priorities are addressed and supported?

I’ll engage mana whenua through direct, fact-based discussions, focusing on shared needs like environmental protection [addressing pollution and waste – not climate change alarmism] and community well-being. I reject separatism – our strength lies in unity, especially as external pressures threaten to overshadow local concerns. My NZ Loyal policies, which I crafted, prioritize solutions that work for all. My approach, proven by my work with the Māori government since 2000, is to listen, collaborate, and deliver outcomes that benefit everyone in Tāmaki Makaurau without favouring one group over another.

How would you work with the council and local boards to implement policy changes and address concerns you have? How well do you understand the machinery of council and do you have established relationships within council?

I’ll work with Auckland Council and local boards by building strong, evidence-driven partnerships, pushing for policy changes through relentless advocacy and joint efforts on issues like housing and transport. I won’t just go along to get along. My experience, including working with Manukau City Council in 2009 to fund and expedite the building bearing my name at Leabank Primary School, shows I understand council mechanics – its committees, obligations, and red tape. That project, which I personally funded, boosted school attendance through breakfast clubs, counselling, and budgeting advice, proving I deliver results that benefit all. While I don’t rely on establishment ties, my grassroots connections and NZ Loyal policies drive real change.

Do you think the Independent Māori Statutory Board deserves more power within the council? Why or why not?

No. Giving the Independent Māori Statutory Board more power risks deepening division, which I reject. We’ve seen too much talking past each other – separatism weakens us all. The Board’s role is to ensure Māori voices are heard, but more authority could create parallel systems, pitting Māori against non-Māori. As global issues threaten to drown out our voices, we need unity. My focus is on collaborative solutions that benefit everyone without disadvantaging any, reflecting my understanding of both sides’ needs.

In April, Shane Jones threatened to step-in to stop the Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area management agreement. What are your views on how it has turned out? Do you think mana whenua deserve to have an equal number of seats on the decision-making committee as other authorities?

Shane Jones’ threat to meddle in the Waitākere Ranges agreement was heavy-handed, but the outcome – preserving local input – shows top-down control doesn’t always win. I don’t support equal seats for mana whenua on the committee if it’s tokenism or creates imbalance. Representation must be based on need, not quotas that fuel division. I’ll prioritize fair, evidence-based outcomes for all. My record, like using a Māori passport abroad, shows I respect mana whenua while seeking solutions that unite Tāmaki Makaurau without disadvantaging anyone.

Tīkapa Moana has been suffering severely in recent times. Depleted fish stocks, invasive exotic caulerpa, and the ticking time-bomb of the RMS Niagara. How will you address these issues if elected as the Tāmaki Makaurau MP? Would you repeal the legislation allowing commercial fishing within protected areas of Tīkapa Moana?

Tīkapa Moana’s crisis demands action, not talk. I’ll push for tougher enforcement against overfishing, seek to fund research to eradicate caulerpa, and demand a clear plan to neutralize the RMS Niagara’s risks – all rooted in evidence. On commercial fishing in protected areas, I won’t lie – one person can’t repeal legislation alone; anyone claiming otherwise is a fraud. But I’ll build coalitions to work toward repealing harmful laws, guided by policies that prioritize the ecosystem’s health for all in Tāmaki Makaurau. My record, like funding the Leabank building that boosted school attendance through breakfast clubs, shows I deliver results that benefit everyone.

Food and transport costs hit Māori and Pacific families the hardest in this electorate. What practical steps would you take to ease this pressure?

Māori and Pacific families are being crushed by predatory businesses and rising costs. I’ll target exploitative finance companies with fact-based regulations, capping interest rates and enforcing transparency, as outlined in policies I stand by. I’ll push for subsidized transport passes for low-income whānau and expand community-led food programs, like the breakfast club I funded at Leabank Primary in 2009, which increased school attendance and improved learning by ensuring kids were fed, with added counselling and budgeting advice. These solutions, rooted in need, benefit all without disadvantaging any, reflecting my understanding of both sides. However, unless this country solves its debt-crisis and financial mismanagement, there will be no genuine solutions available that aren’t akin to putting a plaster on an amputation.

With Te Aka Whai Ora disestablished and our health system under pressure, how will you make sure Māori in this rohe still have equitable access to care? What about rangatahi mental health in particular?

Te Aka Whai Ora’s end was a setback, but I’m here to fix problems, not complain. I’ll fight for targeted funding to community clinics in Tāmaki Makaurau, ensuring Māori get culturally responsive care without bureaucratic roadblocks. For rangatahi mental health, I’ll advocate for evidence-based peer-support networks and accessible counselling, tackling root causes like poverty and disconnection. My policy position advocates equitable solutions for all. My work, like funding the Leabank building that provided free counselling, proves I deliver outcomes that unite Māori and non-Māori without favouring one over another.

When your party’s stance clashes with the needs of Tāmaki Makaurau whānau, who will you side with – and can you give a concrete example of where you have gone against the grain before?

I answer to Tāmaki Makaurau’s whānau, not any party line, though I stand by the NZ Loyal policies I wrote as genuine solutions, not empty promises. My loyalty is to evidence and the electorate’s needs, ensuring outcomes benefit all without disadvantaging any. I’ve gone against the grain before – using a Māori passport abroad twice, defying systems to prove a point, and funding the Leabank Primary building in 2009, which I worked with Manukau City Council to deliver, boosting school attendance through breakfast clubs, counseling, and budgeting advice. Unlike Peni Henare, who’s coasted since 2014, or Oriini Kaipara, with no exposés, I’ve delivered results. Give me one term to prove my worth – if I fail, vote me out in 2026.

A Broken System That Betrays Investors

As a candidate in this election, I cannot stand by while New Zealand’s wholesale investment framework continues to let investors down.

Today, fund managers who manage millions of dollars are not even required to prove they are fit and proper persons. Worse still, when investors suffer devastating losses, regulators tell them to go to the Police or the SFO – and those agencies then say the matters don’t “meet the threshold.” The result is a revolving door of inaction, leaving victims abandoned.

This is not regulation – This is neglect.

The Human Cost of Regulatory Failure

Let’s be clear: this isn’t theory – it is happening right now.

• Black Robin Equity collapsed, leaving investors with devastating losses; some lost over $1 million.

• Senior Trust Capital is under FMA investigation and winding down. Investors have been told it could take up to 10 years to get their money back, if at all.

• Du Val Group was placed into statutory management, with regulators pouring energy and taxpayer dollars into that single case. Yet by focusing almost entirely on Du Val, they have left some of the worst wholesale operators in the market untouched – free to continue ripping off Kiwi investors.

• Right here in Pukekohe, a fund operated by a questionable financier with a long history of failed finance companies and his partner, a chartered accountant from the Waikato, declared in October last year that a Māori trust board’s $1.8 million investment was “lost.” Instead of accountability, they attacked the trust’s CEO, victim-shamed the board, and forced the victims into the High Court to fight for justice. They know the court system is broken – they know it will take years before the victims even get a hearing. And when they are finally held to account, they rise like a phoenix, launching new fund brands under different names to hide their trail.

This is exactly the type of behaviour that Minister Andrew Bayly once said he would stamp out – phoenix directors creating new fronts to dodge accountability. But it isn’t happening. These operators continue to appear, ripping off our families and destroying victims with intimidation and victim shaming.

This is a textbook example of Ponzi-style schemes operating unchecked in our financial markets.

How Victims Are Silenced?

Unsophisticated investors, community trusts, and Māori boards are deliberately targeted because they are less likely to go public if they lose money – fearing ridicule in the market and in the media. When they do speak up, they are attacked and defamed by the very fund managers who misled them.

This isn’t just financial abuse – Its intimidation designed to silence victims.

My Commitment to Change

I will fight to regulate the regulators and put an end to this culture of impunity. My plan includes:

1. Licensing Wholesale Fund Managers – every manager must be licensed by the FMA and pass a fit and proper test.

2. Automatic Investigations – any complaint involving a loss over $50,000 must trigger an investigation, no excuses.

3. Protecting Vulnerable Investors – special support for Māori trusts, community investors, and unsophisticated investors; legal protections against victim shaming and intimidation.

4. Accountability of Agencies – the FMA, SFO, Companies Office, and Police must report annually to Parliament on the complaints they receive, what actions they took, and why.

Final Word

“I will hold fund managers to account. I will hold regulators to account. And I will fight for the thousands of ordinary New Zealanders – right here in this constituency – who deserve protection from predators in suits. Next week, I will be naming the Pukekohe party responsible. The only way to get rid of this infectious material is to shine light on it and disinfect it – so it stops happening to any more victims. We cannot wait for the next collapse. We must act now.”

Kelvyn Alp and Hannah Spierer drop explosive evidence that the ‘Christchurch Mosque attack’ video [March 15, 2019] – banned in New Zealand from being viewed, possessed or distributed – was a staged event. It’s FAKE!

We make no claims pertaining to what else may have happened on that day, however, what we can say with absolute certainty, is that the video exhibits zero victims and is a staged event. This information is chilling considering the follow-on draconian measures implemented after the event – it further calls into question, the integrity of all involved. The official government narrative has now collapsed.

Due to the censorship of the video within New Zealand, the team were forced to travel to Thailand to undertake the detailed examination and analysis.

The ‘Forensic Video Analysis Report’ authored by Gareth Jacobs and recently peer reviewed by other experts leaves no doubt of a cover-up at the highest levels.

Quotes from the first page of the report:

‘I contacted Detective Inspector Chris Cahill, the President of the Police Association and discussed the concerns I had with the video. I urged him to make contact with the officers involved with the shooting inquiry to urge them not to use that video as evidence in any upcoming court case as it was likely fake and may jeopardise the case.’

‘I have used my 5 years military experience and 14 years as a Digital Forensic Analyst as a basis for reviewing the authenticity of the video and reporting on my findings. The findings will show compelling evidence that the video is not genuine.’
