Niue Air/Coral Air/Niue Development Corp:
Years: 1992 to 1999
Level of involvement:

Wilding and his close business associate, Colin McKenna, were involved in the creation of Niue
Development Corporation Ltd (originally incorporated as Teldar No.29 Ltd) in early 1992, which
was directed by a notorious politician from the Pacific Island of Niue: Sani Lakatani.

• Colin McKenna became sole director of Coral Air Limited in September 1999, a nascent airline
  plagued by controversy, and ultimately resulting in failure and loss of Niue taxpayer money.
  Timeline/Concerns:
• August 1992: Niue Development Corporation Ltd: Wilding and McKenna were the original
  directors of this company, and handed over control to Rex Harris (former NZ military) and Sani
  Lakatani.
• 1993 to 1994: Sani Lakatani, as Finance Minister of Niue, introduced a series of new laws
  relating to the island’s financial sector, aimed at encouraging growth.
• 1995: Sani Lakatani was charged with 22 separate counts of bribery and 2 of official corruption.
  The case against him failed because of effective immunity of Niue Assembly members to which
  the laws did not apply. The laws were subsequently changed to close this loophole.
• Late ‘90s, Coral Air was due to become a new airline to service Niue, but an investigation
  commissioned by the New Zealand government identified problems, putting a brake on the
  scheme – it looks like the primary concern was the fact that Niue would act as guarantor
  providing financial security to Coral Air, a private company.
• We note that Coral Air was owned, at least on paper, by Robert John Warburton, an Auckland
  lawyer, which suggests it was owned under proxy, hiding its true beneficiary.
• The involvement of Ray Young as a senior consultant on the Coral Air scheme was also
  controversial as he was an “undischarged bankrupt”, and the former operator of Niue Airline,
  which collapsed in 1992.
• Robert John Warburton, the original sole director of Coral Air Limited and sole shareholder, was
  subsequently struck off as a lawyer in 2007 and imprisoned for 21 months for his part in a major
  fraud ring – see Operation Allsorts.
• September 1999, Colin McKenna became sole director of Coral Air ahead of its insolvency,
  which cost Niue several hundred thousand dollars.
• 1999: Niue was added to FATF’s blacklist over money laundering concerns. Sani Lakatani had
  risen to Premier of the island nation by then, and it would seem the financial “reforms” he had
  implemented while Finance Manager, back in 92 to 94, had perhaps caused the problem.
  Associates:
• Colin McKenna (CEO/co-founder of Case Weston)
• Robert John Warburton (disgraced criminal lawyer)
• Sani Lakatani (Niue premier, finance minister)
• Rex Harris (former NZ military)
• Ray Young (former operator of the defunct Niue Airlines, and undischarged bankrupt).

2. THE GANG OF 200

1. ‘Peterson Rebel or Reformer’ article expands which companies and individuals were involved and highlights how politicians with ties to Gang of 20, which included John Warburton an associate of Wildings, fraud scandal of the late 1970’s who where not fans of Justice Departmen investigator and whistle blower Keith Petersen who they tried to fire. In the end Petersen’s reputation held especially when he also ran afoul of politicians on New Zealand biggest aviation accident the Erebus Antarctica air disaster investigation (termed a “litany of lies” by a subsequent High Court Justice) and exposed that dirty laundry as well. The outcome was to take the Justice Department out of the business of investigating corporate fraud and establish a new body run by those more ‘obedient’. Called the Gang of twenty hundreds of Kiwi where involved in this propoerty money laundering scam.

2. ‘$168,000 GST cash ‘taken away in canvas bag’  National Business Review March 1 1989: High light’s G20 GST Fraud methodology relating to luxury vessels —- The bad news is there wasn’t much else (media wide) listed in any archive or database when I looked.
   
   The good news is it gives me a date and I know NBR did heaps on G20 so will grab back copies in bulk and trudge my way through papers copy by copy. Also I can check with Hansard as the matter received large mileage in parliament at the time. — It rather odd there is so little on this issue as it is the first major case of money laundering in NZ (as Petersen insisted saying the cash originated from Saudi Arabia) and precedes the Wine Box which in turn mirrors the Paradise and Panama Papers.  The story names Warbuton as offending party.
   
   A quick peek in The Wine Box inquiry files which are vast (One file alone consist of 5 boxes containing about 50 folders) began with looking at a directory of players hoping to find the aviation firms I know are in there on basis of Wildings ties to American Harvey Misbin and Misbin ties to Israeli Russian arms dealer Shimon Lahav aka Simon Spitz Pacific Express (formerly Metro Cargo Switzerland Lugano).
   
   Lahav features prominently in my book State Secrets (1999 Howling At The Moon). I reviewed the TVNZ compilation of actors involved in the Wine Box inquiry and can see it had been put together for TVNZ (by my former publisher Ian Wishart), who also wrote a book on the topic called the Paradise Conspiracy that looks at the files tied to arms dealers and spooks. A subsequent book by Wishart Lawyers Guns & Money focuses more on various transactions linked to European Pacific, the main vehicle used by Fay Richwhite (and others) including the movie and bloodstock industry. What grabs my attention on that book and those transaction is.
   
   A: They deal with transaction movement through Netherlands, Luxembourg, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands covering areas Wilding currently operates in.
   
   B; Break it down Europe Ireland Pacifica minus the USA this pretty much the same route used by Jeffrey Epstein (who own money laundering has been grossly under reported and is the real story behind the names in the little black book in my view), the Russian Oligarchs partnered with the US ‘Credit Sussie’ bankers.
   
   Details are now emerging on this via the rise of the New Hampshire money laundering scandal which alleges ties to both the Democrats and Republicans in the USA and has it roots in the Iran Contra scandal as alleged by the reporter Samm Webb who penned the Dark Alliances & Danny Casaloro an investigator of the ‘Octopus’ guns, drugs, terror network (both now deceased) and Les Coleman of the Defence Intelligence Agency who raised the network links to the Lockerbie bombing and 1981 US Embassy Barracks bombing in Lebanon.
   
   Key thing to understand about Petersen and his clash with politicians (including SirGeoffrey Palmer) covering for their mates is;
   
   A: As a result, they established a new agency to investigate white collar crime the SFO (Serious Fraud Office) not because Justice could not do the job. Rather Justice could not be relied on to do as they were told and tend to actually investigate corruption.
   
   B; The original choice for the SFO was Warrick Reid a kiwi born magistrate in Hong Kong. Reid never spent a day in his new job as just before starting work he was arrested for leaking data to the Triads. Reid as a Hong Kong magistrate was involved in the Carrian Fraud affair and even his plea deal was considered in itself a cover up. Significantly David Mace Ernst & Young Hong Kong Bao Steel China was later appointed as the chief accountant of the corrupted UN Food For Oil Program. 

The significance of this is the UN FFOP was the mean by which payment to Russians oil firms including those linked to NZ investor such as Mikhail Khimich VTB Mikhail Fridman (founder of the Paradise Paper listed Altimo Foundation) whose chairman was Mike Moore the former New Zealand Prime Minister who headed the WTO, was NZ’s American Ambassador US and the UN Migration Envoy).

VTB partner to Credit Sussie Mozambique UN corruption aid for guns bribery scandal which would be partly laundered through New Zealand. The payment has been described as a failed attempt by US investors (such as Texan Oscar Wyatt) to cover their taxes in Russia attempting to bribe the Putin administration. See Putin and the $100 million deal that disappeared

The Russian tax fraud, by offshore investors, relates to assets (natural resources, oil, and utilities privatisation) brought under the privatisation of Russia in the mid 1990 following the St Petersburg pilot program over seen by Credit Suisse banker New Zealand born Stephen Jennings.

Jennings is previously credited with the sell off of the NZ Railways under Rogernomics. The sale followed the approval of several directors NZ Railway was sold to Fay Richwhite Investments who later employed several of those directors afterwards prior to Fay Richwhite setting up in Switzerland Geneva (not far from the offices of the WTO and UN).

Post 1995 their name had become in New Zealand notorious with tax evasion and white-collar crime following the Wine Box Inquiry. The inquiry focused on money moved offshore into Pacific based tax haven such as the Cook Islands where tax certificates where then signed off by corrupt official and taxes declared paid when they had not been. The SFO, whose new boss Charles Sturt (also the author of Dirty Collars) daughter even baby sat for Michael Fay a senior partner at Fay Richwhite was and is widely considered a joke some time referred to as the Seriously Fraught Office.        

This author contends that the recent death of a spate of Russian oil executive is tied to the FFOP US Russian bribes and looks as if someone is cleaning up loose ends.

3. GUNS FOR BUTTER/WEAPONS FOR WHEAT

In August 1992, a year after the ‘collapse’ of BCCI, while the bank was looking for somewhere to hide billions from US investigators Paul White, an Auckland based computer salesman, died after coming into possession of discs belonging to Citibank. White said to have been one of Winston Peters’ sources during the Wine Box inquiry, alleged that the disk contained information of money laundering involving NZ politicians and NZ firms. White’s allegations had been made at a time when Citibank and the Security Pacific National Bank (allegedly controlled by Khashoggi) were under investigation in relation to a money laundering case, ‘Operation Polar Cap’ in the States. 

In my second book State secrets II I wrote:

South Pacific bank having been the bank used by cocaine trafficker General Noriega, as a conduit for drug money that then passed in and out of Noreiga’s BCCI’s accounts in Panama. Page 28 South Pacific bank directors would include Robert Anderson, also a director of a military contractor Rockwell International (No known link to Rockwell Investments to date). Anderson’s co-directors at Rockwell Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the multi billionaire ruler of Abu Dhabi one of the most important figures in the United Arab Emirates, (the current backers of the NZ American cup team) would be in effect BCCI’s major shareholder. Rockwell the future client of controversial N.Z. manufacturer Rakon (accused of making weapon components) it turns out was the source of U.S. classified satellite technology which somehow ended up in the hands of the Soviet Union after it had been sold to them by the rogue bank. 

State Secrets B Vidgen 2006

The bank provided the funding for Muldoon Think Big projects and lies so I believe is at the heart of the Pacific becoming a money laundering hub after Khashoggi began investing down under from 1973 onwards. As I also wrote;

“Rakon hit the headlines after the Green Party released leaked details on how Rakon, the exporter of military grade oscillators, were setting “a dangerous precedent for how to deal with dual use products.” (Government bombs out over Rakon Keith Locke MP, Green Party Foreign Affairs Spokesperson 15th June 2006 Press release). Locke noted, “The question is not whether shock hardened, and radiation hardened crystal oscillators are ‘specifically designed for military use’. Of course, both types of oscillators have a dual use, that is, they serve civilian as well as military purposes – for example, shock hardened oscillators in construction work, and radiation hardened oscillators in aerospace. The real debate is over whether Rakon should be taking research money from the American defence contractor, Rockwell, to develop a particular ‘high G-shock crystal’, to fit the specific military requirements of smart shells, as admitted by Rakon in a leaked May 6 2005 email. Secondly, should Rakon be allowed to develop a particular standard of “radiation hardened” oscillators to put into a proposed new American smart bomb navigation system, as also referred to in Rakon documents, these radiation hardened oscillators were also required to be able to function correctly at a depth of 135 meters, which is presumably a military specification for underground or underwater launched missiles….To promote peace in the world we should not allow a Kiwi company to develop and export components critical to smart bombs and missiles that are going to be used in wars we don’t agree with, such as in Iraq, and potentially in even a nuclear war”.

In a subsequent press release (28 May 2006, 10:46 pm Press Release: Green Party), Locke suggested that Rakon’s counter story of not being involved in arms manufacturing, did “not add up” that “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade should also have investigated in its role to uphold New Zealand’s anti-nuclear policy, and enforce its own criteria, stated on its website, to deny the export of items ‘to be used Page 141 in the delivery of weapons of mass destruction.. And where was the Security Intelligence Service, which prattles on about its important role in stopping New Zealanders being involved in anything connected with nuclear weapons?” The latter point of this statement is a good question, as the SIS seemed very good at claiming such people come here all the time, but at the same time being incapable of actually doing anything to stop such individuals. In my own limited experience of the SIS, I was struck by how uneducated its members seem to be regarding current affairs. Others, more cynical in their outlook, might suggest that this ignorance is selective, especially as the arms dealers investigated within this book, turn out repeatedly (in their N.Z. dealings anyway), to have relationships with overseas intelligence agencies that are allied to the SIS. In the same vein, we have seen that N.Z. ‘s own government trade and foreign affairs agencies are equally happy to cozy up to such individuals as well. In Rakon’s case, their principal investor in N.Z. was Peter Mair, a member of the N.Z. government’s Growth Innovation Advisory Board, a founding member of the government’s Information and Communication Technology taskforce and, like Rakon, a recipient of several Trade N.Z. awards (Trade N.Z. being the agency which harboured the arms expo said to have been attended by Tim Spicer in November 2005). As Locke succinctly quips, “It seems that all these government agencies were so bedazzled by Rakon’s export success, that they were reluctant to investigate properly then and ask the hard questions”. Locke ended his protest by noting, “This is a matter of great concern, New Zealand’s reputation as a peaceful, anti-nuclear country, could be undermined unless the Government moves quickly to find out the full story.” The reality is that the N.Z. the government is unlikely to do this any time in the near future; so on that basis, let me fill in the blanks for you. During Time Magazine’s investigation into Rockwell, Beatty was ‘floored’ when one of his contacts passed him a classified copy of a satellite which BCCI had sold to the Russians. Beatty would note, “There was little doubt they were looking at Rockwell International’s technical manual for the NAVSTAR Global Positioning Satellite System.” That this came to be, however, is no real surprise when one discovers that the list of directors (and past directors) of Rockwell makes for interesting reading. Robert Anderson, who is also listed as the director of a firm named Aftermarket Technology Corporation, its co-directors include, Gerald Parsky (the former assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury Department from 1974 to 1977), and partner in the law firm Gibson, Dunn, and Crutcher, who represented Sheikh Zayed’s (BCCI) interests in Washington. Parsky is the man who Hand was allegedly said to have to report to, by those who maintain that the Nugan Hand Front was simply a front for U.S. intelligence black operations (extreme covert operations), named Task Force 157. 

This unit eventually closed down for having become out of control, its members being, it is said, more interested in getting their cut than serving Uncle Sam. It was Parksy’s business partner, William Simon, who allegedly was one of the customers of EuroPac, central to the Wine Box inquiry story (a story which deals with a number of Van Heeren’s business partners), a tale of tax evasion/avoidance (depending on who you choose to believe), and a story which Wishart explains he had been able to quickly follow, having already been introduced to many of the principal characters. Following his investigation into the death of Paul White, his own sources claimed that N.Z. was being used to launder Eastern European arms sales to the Middle East in a deal involving the highest levels of N.Z. government. It’s also the contention of Washington D.C. investigative writer, Wayne Madsen, that the Nugan Hand Bank was simply the precursor of a larger arms scheme involving the Cook Islands and BCCI and the so-called, Wine Box Affair” —-

Coral Air wants to link islands

By JOHN ANDREWS NZ Herald.

“Auckland-based Coral Air hopes to establish a regular service linking five South Pacific countries. Using an unspecified jet aircraft capable of carrying 100 passengers, the airline aims to provide regular links between Niue, Tonga, Rarotonga, Fiji and Tahiti. The aircraft is in addition to two 18-seater Beech 1900C commuter planes Coral Air has been trying for months to introduce to Niue, the tiny island east of Tonga. Coral Air officials have been negotiating with other airlines on the project. While Coral Air’s solicitor, Mr Bob Warburton, declined to identify the type of aircraft that may be leased, he said the airline and Ansett New Zealand had signed an interline agreement late last week. Because of delays in obtaining New Zealand civil aviation approval of an air operating certificate for its Beech service to Niue, Coral Air is investigating the possibility of flying alternative aircraft, using an unnamed associate carrier’s authorisation”.

“All we are saying is that we are investigating the possibility of commencing services earlier rather than later,” said Mr Warburton. It was Niue’s decision to bankroll Coral Air in the two-plane service and the role of Ray Young, an Auckland undischarged bankrupt, that prompted opposition politicians last month to call for a vote of no confidence in the Government of Premier Sani Lakatani. The vote was tied 10-all, and a judicial review is being undertaken after complaints by its instigators

7. ROBERT JOHN WARBURTON: Auckland lawyer convicted of fraud for his role in a multimillion-dollar property scam struck off the roll of barristers and solicitors.

Robert John Warburton was sentenced in January 2007 to 21 months’ jail, with leave to apply for home detention, after admitting four charges in connection with a $6.6 million scam that preyed on homeowners, mainly in the Waikato. Warburton was convicted with 21 other professionals, including lawyers, mortgage brokers and accountants, arrested as part of the police Operation Allsorts. ‘

Leslie Orchard aka James Adams who pleaded guilty to 686 fraud-related charges. Police declared this an “Organised criminal enterprise involved in fraudulent activities to obtain loans from financial institutions”.  “It is alleged that the money from the loans has been ‘laundered’ in a number of ways, leaving either the financial institutions or innocent property owners with substantial losses.”  victims, unable to raise funds from first-tier lenders such as trading banks, went to mortgage brokers among the group who then allegedly tricked them into signing sale and purchase agreements for their property. Alleged gang involvement but no details.

Specifically, conspirators realised solicitors had stopped ordering the full version of property titles during conveyancing work. Instead, they would obtain a short electronic form, showing only the owner’s name and any mortgages. It meant that, with the right documents, freehold property was ripe for identity fraud. The Crown believed McKelvy found suitable names, Orchard went to the Land Transfer Office for the title and the council for the rates notice, and together they would forge IDs, using a copy of Orchard’s genuine passport.

US drug enforcer DEA seeks extradition of fraudster Miles John McKelvy to face drug conspiracy charges in the United States after investigation into Hells Angels gang in Romania 12/5/2004 An Auckland man wanted by American drug enforcers for allegedly conspiring to import cocaine, after an investigation into the Hells Angels gang in Romania, has a long criminal history as an “insidious” fraudster and drug smuggler.

Follows raids on eight properties across Bucharest last week aimed at “dismantling an organised criminal group specialised in committing crimes of cross-border high-risk drug trafficking, money laundering and instigation of aggravated murder”. Note after SWA its management went to work fo Pacific Express (Israel Mossad CIA) at same time Cargo Air Bulgaria set up shop in Hamilton (used in Sandline Mercenary affair and arms trading from Eastern Europe)

In the same time frame Credit Suisse has become the first domestic bank to be found guilty of a corporate crime by Swiss authorities after a court found the lender failed to stop the laundering of Bulgarian drug money. The verdict was handed down in the southern Swiss city of Bellinzona by the country’s highest criminal court on Monday. Judges imposed a SFr2mn fine on the bank and ordered it to pay €18.6mn in compensation to the Swiss government. ..The case centred on Credit Suisse’s role in accepting millions of euros in deposits from a group of Bulgarian clients between 2004 and 2008. Judges ruled that the bank ignored obvious red flags — including huge sums of cash being brought in suitcases and two assassinations — that hinted at the possible criminal origins of the funds.

Matthews was identified as a patched member of the Hells Angels in New Zealand and Johnson has a long history of methamphetamine manufacture. After their arrests the DEA asked New Zealand police to arrest the 62-year-old McKelvy as part of the alleged conspiracy to import Mexican cocaine into New Zealand. Matthews became a suspect in Operation Leopard after the Customs Service seized six importations of GBL between October 2014 and January 2015. Also known as Fantasy, GBL is a Class-B drug popular in the dance party scene in Britain and nicknamed “Coma in a Bottle” overseas because sexual predators slip it into drinks to sedate victims. The total of 81 liters was worth around $354,000, while a further four shipments of unknown quantity slipped through. When stopped by Customs at the airport and interviewed, McKelvy explained he imported the product as a cleaning agent and co-operated with investigators. He maintained this explanation in the disputed facts hearing in front of Judge Soana Moala in 2017, giving evidence the cleaning chemicals used at Envirowaste, where he worked, were toxic and burned skin. McKelvy said he didn’t realise the “wonder cleaning” product contained GBL the date rape drug. Emails and text messages made it clear McKelvy was discussing GBL.

Journalist David Fisher said in print the NZ meth market not all about gangs and that the key people are white collar criminals and household known names. Case in point in 1995 the head of TVNZ NZ main TV channel Neil Roberts is busted with a1KG of cocaine in his famous black Porsche on top of the Auckland Harbour bridge. No media outlet bar Rocknroll rag ‘Rip It Up’ ever reported this. Roberts does not go to jail instead he stands down from Communication firm Communicardo Productions with partners Sir Paul Holmes – whose daughter is tight with the Headhunters gang -, Karen Soich a media lawyer and former girlfriend of Mr Asia.

The Mr Asia drug case was the biggest drug syndicate in NZ history which also had CIA ties according to Wall Street Journal and Paul Kwitney Crimes of the Patriot (which won a Pulitzer – the highest-ranking coveted media award) who distributed drugs to gangs in NZ and Australia. Their first documentary The Life and Times of Robert Muldoon never views until 11 years later in a very edited version of the original cut. Robert Muldoon the New Zealand Prime Minister whose accountancy firm handled the original firm used by MR Asia to launder Drug including Millstone Charters.  Muldoon pre politics nick named the Bookie from Tepuke who New Zealand gangs Black Power and the Mongrel Mob made honoree members of their gangs due to his role in the PEP scheme which saw gangs selected for contract tender work which in fact gave many gangs including Black Power their original financial base from which they expanded into drugs and other criminal Enteprises. 

A sampleof where white collar meet underbelly in NZ is given in The Sunday Star Times excellent article by Bridget Saunders Fight Night at the Headhunters HQ. 

I concur with David Fisher (whose sources included top law enforcement officials in Hawaii) and Saunders in States Secrets we received death threat relating to our reporting of CIA Cocaine trafficker Thomas Wilding. No apparent ties to Geoffrey Wilding but an American with Fay Richwhite in Tonga (ground zero for drugs putting into the pacific ) who wanted to make Tonga a drug warehouse and his ties to Wine Box stars Fay Richwhite, The interesting thing at the time of those death threats which declared “if the Winer book comes out your all dead “ is the only three people who knew Winer was in the book was me, my publisher and Fay Richwhite Investments who we faxed a questionnaire to regarding the purpose of their lunch with Winer as reported by our sources including a former Tongan PM.

The context of what happened in Tonga needs to be seen in the context of the fall of the Canadian intelligence analyst Cameron Ortis. Ortis was investigating money laundering for NZ Australia but ended up leaking secrets to the Russian mob, the Mexican cartels and Australian headed gangs. Ortis demonstrates the share scale of the trade and how deeply Australia and NZ are involved after 35 years of destabilisation of not just the Pacific resources but its commercial banking sector as well.  It’s a highly sophisticated operation with its own advanced HR and recruitment process making sure they get the best of the best.

Court documents show Johnson curriculum vitae which was seized on 11 January 2000 in the course of a search of the appellant’s house. The curriculum vitae showed that the Johnson had a New Zealand Certificate of Science in Chemistry and a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from the University of Hertfordshire.It also showed that he had been employed by organisations of national and international repute as an analytical chemist, laboratory technician, laboratory assistant and chemical manufacturer and laboratory assistant.He proclaimed key skills of an analytical organisational and standards nature.

The Crown opened to the jury that Johnson had the most experience with chemicals and chemistry processes and he was clearly what might be termed a “cook”. His CV was seized in January 2000 during the termination phase of a Police surveillance operation known as “Operation Mexico” (based on a gang members name – as opposed to direct connections to Mexico). A computer which was found to have on its hard drive internet sourced data relating to the manufacture and distribution of methamphetamine. The appellant and several others were arrested on charges relating to the manufacture and supply of methamphetamine. Operation Mexico saw Johnson convicted and sentenced to 3 years imprisonment was linked to an investigation into the Headhunters who are aligned with the Hells Angels.

OPERATION ARK

Operation Mexico Has parrels with Operation Ark 2003: 

Hells Angels member Karel Sroubek flees Czech Republic as witness to a murder. Enters New Zealand with a false passport in the name of Jan Antolik. Later gains residency and represents his new country as a kickboxer. A chronology of Srobek & Hell Angel Coke is as follows.

2009:Soubrek true identity discovered when Czech police contact their counterparts in NZ.

2010: McElvy arrested with two Hells Angels on aggravated robbery and blackmail charges. Acquitted on all charges. Those cooks like Johnston are highly qualified university educated chemist including Dr Andy Lavrent and 1080 blackmailer pesticide manufacture Jeremy Kerr.

Kickboxer and anti-woman violence spokesman petitioned PM Jacinda Ardern married to DJ Clark Gayford to help Soubrek vouching for his character (despite Soubrek’s own estranged wife being clearly afraid of him). When her relationship with Richie Hardcore was questioned Ardern said she had met him once or twice (there are in fact over half a dozen photos of Hardcore with Ardern). Clark, whose DJ name used to be DJ Sticky Fingers, links to drugs trafficking has been subject of numerous rumour to the point the police released a statement saying Gayford had never been arrested for drugs it failed to say if he had ever been investigated on drug related matters.

2016: An American man and a Mexican man were arrested and charged after 35kg of the drug was found concealed inside a diamante horse head. Ronald Wayne Cook Senior was jailed for 17 years and nine months, while Agustin Suarez-Juarez received 19 years and nine months.

2016: Kiwi kickboxer has reportedly been arrested in Colombia and is due to face drug trafficking charges in Argentina. The Columbia Reports website said Peter Leaitua was arrested at the international airport of Medellin, Colombia’s second largest city. According to Argentine authorities, the amateur kickboxer “used his reputation as a kickbox fighter to take advantage of his contacts and influences in illegal activities”. The newspaper El Tiempo reported that the sportsman was in Colombia to coordinate new ways of trafficking cocaine from Colombia to Europe and Oceania.

2017: A hairdresser, a kick boxer, and two other men who were part of an Auckland cocaine ring have been sentenced to jail and home detention. The four men were involved in a cocaine ring and arrested during a police investigation code-named Operation Ceviche. The people they sold to have kept their names secret but are named in court documents and include people who work for high profile businesses. One is involved in the music industry. The covert investigation by the National Organised Crime Group initially focused on Anthony “Ants” Nansen, a senior patched member of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang.

Anthony Nansen is a senior Hells Angel and champion fighter. The 33-year-old is the sergeant-at-arms for the gang’s Nomads chapter and a champion kickboxer. Police were monitoring Nansen’s phone calls and movements, which led Operation Ceviche to two others allegedly running their own “mini drug supply networks” – the hairdresser and the fashion designer. It’s believed that the Hairdresser clients include a VERY senior female politician. In total, the police seized almost 760g of cocaine with a street value of more than $300,000

2021: Kiwi boxer Joseph Parker is the sports star police allege is linked to a major international drug importation and supply conspiracy. Parker was himself not been charged in relation to the case. Three members of the syndicate – Fangupo, Kulu, Finau and Halane Ikiua – were all sentenced to terms of imprisonment in November 2021 for the importation and supply of methamphetamine and cocaine, and conspiracy to supply drugs. A fifth man, Shane Singh, was also jailed for importing a Class A drug. Kulu and Fangupo imported multiple packages of methamphetamine into New Zealand from California that originated from Mexico between June 2017 and January 2018. 21kg of methamphetamine, imported 27kg of cocaine.

2022: Exclusive: Auckland Hells Angel member accused in record breaking Ecuadorian cocaine case police allege the seven men were involved in an organised criminal group when they allegedly imported 190kg of cocaine into New Zealand. The cocaine was hidden around the outside of pipes concealed inside a hulking boiler originally exported from Ecuador, police allege. Paul McAuslin, a patched member of a Hells Angels Nomads chapter in Auckland, did not apply for ongoing interim name suppression when he appeared before Judge Grant Fraser in the Auckland District Court on Friday morning. Electoral records list his occupation as electrician and he was, until recently, a director and shareholder of a central Auckland boxing gym. Raids in mid-November following an investigation by the Police National Organised Crime Group, dubbed Operation Depot, found enormous quantities of the class A drug at a commercial property in New Lynn, West Auckland. 

This all shades of Les Mill (see page 110 of State Secrets) “The ‘Mob’s’ involvement in the Ecstasy trade also reared its head in the 1999 trial of Kim Van Lent who, with several others, was busted in New Zealand’s biggest-ever E-sting. Interestingly, Trent Beetham, the son of former political leader Bruce Beetham, was named by prosecutors in Van Lent’s High Court trial as another major drug dealer, but he was not charged. Despite this, Trent Beetham’s involvement gave the secret police sting its name: Operation Politik. Metro magazine journalist Tim Wilson wrote “Van Lent must be one of the few people to have been invited to both Les Mills and the Headhunters Christmas Party. (1998).

8.EVERYONE LOVES CHARLIE – HARVEY MISBIN (THE WILDING IRAN CONTRA LINK)

IN 1987 Harvey Misbin was paid $200,000 per load OF COCAINE to pilot a Learjet. His Cartel connection was through his Colombian wife, daughter of a Colombian military officer. His New Zealand life would be as an orange farmer in Keri Keri.

In 1987, the government allowed citizens from Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and Thailand to enter New Zealand without visas. This policy of easy access opened New Zealand to criminals from overseas who wanted to gain permanent residency. Ex Vietnam pilot Harvey Misbin who fled authorities in the USA gained residency here and established the freight carrier Southern World Airline New Zealand. A Frontline television documentary reported that Misbin, who was granted New Zealand residency and later citizenship, was wanted in the U. S. for alleged smuggling of cocaine from South America to the United States. Misbin’s executives at SWA included Roger bank Grant Anal who went on to set up Austral Aviation in the same level as Charlie orange juice (Director Rick Ellis a television celebrity and former All Black and Kiwis league with convition for drugs) Charlie Orange CEO the former All Blacks Mark Ellis the star of ‘Rough Road’ to South America would later be convicted on drug charges during a police operation against drug smugglers. Those charged included Auckland multi-millionaire property developer David Henderson, 51, Auckland Euro Bar manager Phillip James Clark, 31, Auckland businessman Elliot John Worrall, 30, and four others who have name suppression. Another person was arrested in Queenstown (2005)  was rugby league star Brent Todd who was charged with conspiracy to supply XTC and Coke. Yet another example of how its not just gangs who deal use and finance drugs.

The Victor Bout drugs gun connection to NZ comes via Russian Antonov call sign UR82008 which was used used to transport Kiwi soldiers to Afghanistan in 2003 as part of Operation Enduring Freedom. The same aircraft was used by Bout Associate to transport coke. as documented in my book State Secrets II (Pages 55-58) in 1999.

My line of inquiry was slow to begin with, as it emerged that such sky whales had been flying into NZ under what one witness calls, “a cloak of secrecy”, since 1997. Such aircraft landed in Hamilton, Christchurch, and the RNZAF base at Ohakea. This series of aircraft was primarily leased to a subsidiary of Antonov Design Bureau, a firm associated with Air Foyle, whose ties to the Ministry of Defence (U.K) I had covered in ‘State Secrets’. Whilst the profiles and the low-key nature of such airlines indicated that I was on the right flight path, some things remained that were needed to bring the budgie home to roost. Eventually, I came across an aircraft identified as having been used to transport N.Z. troops to Afghanistan. Its registration identified it, not only as a notorious serial offender, guilty of breaching arms embargoes on numerous occasions but also involved in the suspected supplying of missile technology to those seeking nuclear weapons technology. This aircraft was also used by an associate of Simon Spitz (a known CIA gun runner, according to the former head of the SFO.) With the single stroke of a key, armed with nothing more powerful than ‘Google’, I ended up doing what the N.Z. Defence Force HQ’s seemed incapable of, or perhaps, more accurately, unwilling to do -vet the craft (background check), so as to reveal its ultra bloody past”.

SS 1999 B VIDGEN

“Yet, for the second time in recent history, Defence Force HQ’s ended up using the aircraft of a known member of Russia’s so called ‘Ukrainian-Israeli Mafia’. This man was also a known gun runner,who under the guise of delivering humanitarian aid, supplied weapons to the very forces that the N.Z. soldiers found themselves up against in Afghanistan. It turned out that the large plane, UR 82008, that was parked on Christchurch airport tarmac in broad daylight, had indeed been a very naughty boy. Not that this information had been hard to find, that is, if you had bothered to look in the first place. Boris, Bombs & BCCI On August 5th 2000, David Pallister, writing for the Guardian, reported that Air Foyle had no knowledge that one of its aircraft was being used by the Ukrainian, Victor Bouts, as part of his gun running circus, to supply the RUF (Revolutionary United Front), in Sierra Leone (while at the same time, Bout was flying “UN Pakistani peace keepers” to East Timor). Unfortunately for Air Foyle, their defence of being ‘unaware’, feigning innocence, that it was a ‘one off event’, looked less convincing, when on the same day, as Pallister’s article, August 5th 2000, Italian police arrested Ukrainian-Israeli mobster Leonid Minin – a big time cocaine and guns trafficker, in room 341 at the Hotel Europa, Italy. In the company of the Ukrainian Israeli mobster, police found four naked prostitutes, 58 grams of coke, and half a million dollars in diamonds, rubies, foreign currency, plus a suitcase of papers which documented the serial offending history of UR 82008, in relation to the Antonov Design Bureau aircraft leased from Air Foyle.

As a result of the papers found with Minin, police learned that on March 14th, 1999, the aircraft leased from Air Foyle, had delivered sixty-eight tonnes of Bulgarian weapons and ammunition to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. These weapons were then transported by land to Sierra Leone, where they were used to supply the RUF in a bloody civil war, largely being fought over diamonds, and furiously fueled with weapons by those wanting a piece of the action. Later it was unearthed that in July 2000, UR 82008, had also been used to ship 113 tonnes of munitions from the Ukraine to Liberia, on behalf of one of Bout’s junior associates, Valerii Cherny. In both cases, these arms were used to again supply the RUF in a operation now known to be financed by three people, Sanjivan Ruprah, Rakesh Saxena and Adnan Khashoggi. Accounts listed in the Human Rights group, Human Rights Watch (‘Neglected Arms Embargo on Sierra Leone Rebels – Briefing Paper 15.5.2000), suggest that UR82008 may have been involved in breaching arms embargos in Sierra Leone in as early as 1997.

State Secrets B Vidgen 1999

I continue i;

“Only a month before Air Foyle’s denial, in July 2000, the same aircraft was found to have been involved once again in an incident involving the supplying of arms to Sierra Leone. Unfortunately for Air Foyle(whose “principal” customer, happened to be the British Ministry of Defence), the papers also show an incident where UR 82008 shipped Strella 3 (known as a SA7) missiles. UR 82008 masters (who, it must be remembered, can be shown working for Adnan Khashoggi, the de facto manager of BCCI arms operation), were shown to have obtained an SS-18 continental missile, a rocket of sufficient power to launch a satellite, or alternatively, a nuclear missile. More importantly, this was the same type of weapon that BCCI (Khashoggi’s bank of choice), had tried to obtain back in 1991, when the bank was simultaneously supplying parts to the nuclear weapons programme’s of both India and Pakistan. The suggestion that India and Pakistan were sourcing their black market technology from the same parties was previously made in ‘State Secrets’, my source was a former N.Z. warrant officer.

In Africa, arms protesters have accused Khashoggi of ‘engineering’ dispute, as part of his campaign to gain control of natural resources, including diamonds, oil, and timber, in countries such as Sierra Leone, using the likes of Bout and the Liberian dictator, Charles Taylor, to pour fuel on the fire. Following such allegations, it is worthwhile noting that the U82008 papers cite Minin as someone who provided Taylor with an extensive and sophisticated means of obtaining secure communications. An interesting point is that the documents relating to Taylor’s battle for control of a GSM communication company, cite, “the same New Zealand company called Libercell…Also used in Afghanistan ”. Libercell, coincidentally, is the only N.Z. firm to have secured ‘rebuilding’ contracts in Iraq since the U.S. invasion. Another coincidence, in what proved to be a string of coincidences sufficient to strain even the most ardent and staunchest of ‘coincidence theorists’, was that the funds for Minin (who like Spitz was a Ukraine Israeli arms dealer in Sierra Leone), had been used to buy Bulgarian arms . Minin had channeled these funds through the Banco di Lugano located in the same nice, neat and quiet Swiss town, originally used by Spitz before he came to N.Z. in the early 1990’s, as the hub of an African arms supply operation. What can you say except, “it’s small world after all. Page 58 State Secrets II 2006 Ben Vidgen 1991: Southern World Air Lines.

1987: Police bust several celebrities involved in dealing in a Headhunter’s affiliated cocaine ring which includes Ray Le Varis the MP whose involvement I wrote “led to police switching off bugs after it feared his downfall would topple the Muldoon Government”. Le Varis and others in his inner ring also had ties to CIA Task Force 157 affiliated Ray Smith whose Gold Corp laundered money and later collapsed in the 1980’s.

1987: The USA’s Operation Project Democracy is established to raise funds for anti-Communist Guerrillas in Afghanistan and South America where NZSAS operates on behalf of the US.

TVNZ front line identifies several NZ Australian Members including Hugh Templeton, Minister of Foreign Affairs under Muldoon and Sue Wood, President of the National Party. Project Democracy includes Richard V Allen, at the time National Security Adviser to Ronald Reagan and today a New Zealand resident whose Neighbours have included several prominent former American spies and folks tied to the Regan Bush era such as James Covert Tyco Security in addition to David Mace of the FFOP and gold dealer Michael Hill (a highly controversial figure subject to many rumors) whose own profits soared 165% in the past 12 months. In 2005 during a failed illegal threat against this author Allen identified that the instigator of the so-called Iran Contract Affair “was an aide to senator”, who arranged the meeting of future participants “ostensibly” at the request of the Senator.

The aid in question was Colonel Robert McFarlane, also a future National Security Adviser to Regan and a director in SAFE Air Blenheim who undertook work for parent firm Air New Zealand and US Israeli military sources. The base was previously used for Operation Railhead the use of Air America craft supplied by the CIA to Muldoon to overcome the 1951 Waterside strike.

EVERY ONE WANTS TO BE A MEXICAN

Let us review where we are at now. When I first publicly claimed Misbin was tied to CIA linked drugs lords and funny Russian mobs washing drug cash through banks in Vanuatu and NZ back (when I published state Secrets in 1999) I was told by cop Rob Pope (who has a marijuana leaf tattooed on his shoulders from his days in undercover), media and politicians these claims where “rubbish”. Scoop Media being the exception who wrote how my book was subject to a “media black out”.

[…] Encrypted Blackberrys have now emerged in the hands of Mexican drug operatives in New Zealand (where the cartel’s significant presence is now acknowledged by New Zealand authority’s media and academics). The phones, designed to avoid surveillance, had a covert trojan horse placed there by cartel boss El Chapo to keep tabs on his network of distributors and bankers. Law enforcement managed to however flip at least two of the cartel’s IT senior security people and compromise the cartel’s private network. They are currently focusing on accounts in Ireland where encrypted phones were held in safety deposit boxes. 

This has major repercussions as the Ireland end of the laundry cycle is also tied to Russian/VTB related money laundered through Estonia. An event which I increasingly believe is tied to the shipment of either parts used in WMD’s or Uranium smuggling possibly.

Journalist Stephen Davis, embedded at Otago University (along with a host of US British home Office backed ‘experts’) claims are based on his sources in the British intelligence that the ferry MS Estonia was used to transport weapons systems. I find this intriguing as in 2006 Russian Antonov used to ferry yachts (equipped with encrypted radio technology with NZ encrypted tech later appearing in the hands of insurgents trading in natural resources for weapons in the Sudan*1, Afghanistan, Liberia) from the America’s Cup to Valencia Spain via Saudi Arabia had previously been busted shipping weapons via Shannon Airport which has become a hub for weapons smugglers who seemingly have tacit official approval.

*1 According to Wikileaks/Washington Post the Sudan case involved UN officials the online account simply say is airport equipment now and the encrypted nature of that tech has been edited out.    

My own story on this topic has attracted considerable interest, coinciding with visits to this author’s Linkedin page by individuals working in human resources and naval intelligence from the New Zealand embassy in London and Washington.

The cartels (working in conjunction with Russian organized crime and global investment banks including Credit Suisse) role in laundering money through New Zealand was first identified by the New Zealand Press in 2008 once the story was published offshore.

This is two years after my second book State Secrets II was published and included photos of several other related Antonov tied to arms trafficking based airlines visiting NZ regularly including the 1991 Auckland based Pacific Express run by Russian Israeli Simon Spitz), after a Russian Antonov loaded with North Korea weapons destiny for the Middle East was found to be registered in New Zealand. 

This event under covered massive levels of transaction passing through NZ and goes to the heart of the Bill Bowder Magnitsky affair in which Bowder says American investors were targeted unfairly by corrupt Russian officials at Putin bidding.

However, like Das Spiegel investigation of Bowder concluded, I think the Bowder account, which has been accepted at face value by a gullible MSM, is full of shit.

Yes the Russians were and are shady. This is true. However that fact obscure the key point Bowder and his mates where no angel and the banks used by the Russian have their origins in the CIA/Khashoggi/Phoenix Foundation a cartel of mobsters, far right literal Nazis and other scum-baggery, established in the Pacific in the 1970’s well before the Russian emerged on the scene and when they did it was related to deals involving those who had multiple ties to the original vanguard who established the South Pacific as washing machine for dirty money in the late 1970’s.

9. SANI ELIA LAGIGIETAMA LAKATANI (born 1936) is a former Premier of Niue. He was a member of the Niue People’s Party. Sani Lakatani. Sani LAKATANI.jpg. Spent twenty years with the New Zealand Army, Regular Force . Lakatani was deployed to Vietnam as part of the Whiskey2 deployment.

October 1995 Lakatani was charged with 22 counts of bribery and two of official corruption. Most of the charges were dismissed after the Niue Court of Appeal found that the law against corruption did not apply to Members of the Assembly and the remaining charges were later dropped. Niue was a significant player under Lakatani in Panama Papers (Founded by the son of a Nazi with ties to the CIA operation in South Americ (which post war aligned itself with anticommunist dictators, literal Nazis and drug dealers) received $150 per year for each newly registered company, but the truth was the Panamanians made it known there were other options – and nobody was offering Niue that kind of money.” We figured that if we had the exclusivity, we would avoid the price wars because in offshore jurisdictions there is a lot of competition going on,” Mossack said. (Michael Field – Me and Jürgen Mossack: Michael Field on chasing the Panama Papers through the South Pacific in the ’00s The Spin Off April 7, 2016)

For much of his time as leader of Niue, Lakatani was living in Auckland and collecting national super. He still is. Fields write “Niue had seemed an odd choice for Mossack at the time, as the only air access was by once-weekly flight provided by the flakey and now defunct Royal Tongan Airlines” (Pages 229 232-33, 248,250,252-54 State Secret Khashoggi and the fletchers Fay Richwhite Iran oil deal). 

Eventually 6000 accounts were set up, earning Niue around $1 million a year. Mossack Fonseca local agent is Peleni Talagi, her father, Toke Talagi, became Prime Minister of Niue.On their web page (now long gone) Mossack Fonseca described the advantages of Niue as “total secrecy and anonymity”. There were no requirements to disclose beneficial owners, nor any need to file annual returns. “Complete business privacy and confidentiality” was assured. Helpfully, Niue allowed company creation in Chinese characters as well as Cyrillic or Russian script.

John Hayes, head of the Pacific desk at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, became a National Party member of parliament for Wairarapa. In 2009 he spoke during the debate on the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Bill. “(It) was very easy to set up a company in Niue, for example, with an 0900 number, and talk to a hot voice or something, in a recording,” he said. “A call could be made on a Friday afternoon and the phone left off the hook until Monday morning. The caller would invoice himself or herself via the company in Niue, send the cheque to Niue, and launder the money that way.”

Big players like the Group of Seven, the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Financial Action Task Force and the US State Department were starting to express alarm. The US State Department’s International Narcotics Control Strategy Report said, “Niue’s thriving offshore financial sector has been linked with the laundering of criminal proceeds from Russia and South America.”

“A little over eight years ago, Print21 alerted the Australian Printing industry that “The Kiwis are Coming!” This Paul Revere moment foretold of New-Zealand-led raiding on long-established Australian printing businesses, starting with Merit Madden (now inside Blue Star) and Graphic World (now inside GEON). The buyers were offering handsome leveraged buyout sums to ageing business owners with few or no succession ideas and ‘lazy balance sheets.’ There were two progenitors of this activity and both had begun the roll-up of fragmented print businesses under one rationalized umbrella in New Zealand.

Something about that article rings a bell with Caxton and Geon.

Oh yeah —–In Fiji much has been made of the intertribal conflicts and the separatist tension of indigenous Fijians versus the Indian majority. Yet one significant factor was not allowed to be included in the official analysis, the arrival of the survey ship Babale, a ship with Emperor Mining connections. The Babale, with its cargo of Uzi machine guns*1 , arrived in Fiji from Singapore – not during or after the coup but three days before the coup. The largest shareholder in Emperor Mining? Technically the answer was Western Mining, the Australian firm. Yet the more specifically accurate answer is that Western Mining in fact managed the mines on behalf of a secret owner, held in trust of “ANZ nominee”. That owner according to WPR1 {Wellington Peace Researcher) was in fact New Zealander John Spencer, a man whose personal wealth exceeded at this time over $700 million. Spencer, an heir to his grandfather’s Caxton paper empire, took over the family business in 1981 but sold out later that decade to Carter Holt Harvey for about $300m. Spencer is survived by his son Berridge and daughter Mertsi. Berridge has become the public face of Spencer family business interests, while Mertsi is understood to run a specialist home accessory business in Dubai.

Legal vet news search Spencer’s interests included Caxton Printing. Spencer in turn was involved, via Caxton, in Cook Islands based Harmony Securities (another wine box star), one of the firms which Bruce Judge, in collusion with dodgy Cook Islands offshore banks, used to swindle $70 million. (Replicating the Wine Box scam of 1990s)

We had already been shown the connections that Freeman’s partner in ETO, John Victor Evans had held to both the Muldoon government through Sir Laurie Francis and the RSL Equities scam, otherwise known as the “Gang of Twenty” affair. The Gang of Twenty affair had ironically resulted from Justice Department lawyer Keith Petersen being pulled off his investigation into the collapse of the Waitiki Tourist Development 1 Which left 107 creditors and $400,000 out of pocket implicate the Māori trustee”.1

Geoff Hutchinson Mng Dir/Head:ANZ Private Equity, Carlyle Group Inc

Source: Former Morison Co boss Geoff Hutchinson tapped by Carly;e to head ANZ

Carlyle is a privately-owned equity firm organized and run by former members of the Reagan and Bush Sr. Administrations.

Carlyle is deemed a predecessor to Black Rock, the USA’s answer to China Belt Road initiative (Black Rock appears out of nowhere in 2008), who denies rumour it will bail out Credit Suisse. Conspiracy theorists claim it was instrumental in the 9/11 Project For A New American Century plot. proof of such claims is lacking but yes it certainly made a considerable load of money as a result of its investment in arms. A central theme to those conspiracy theories is 9/11 did not just serve PNAC core goals (which is absolutely true) but the involvement of short trading, gold theft, money laundered through computers in the hours before the attack (see Convar Investigation and buy out by those it was investigating) meant the attackers made billions – if this is true it begs the question what happened to that money.   

Carlyle employed George Bush junior son of Bush senior as well as key members of the Saudi government a key backer of Saudi national bank which own over 31% of Credit Suisse shares and is a player whom US leaders have repeatedly threaten with investigating for its role in 9/11. Namley every time Saudi steps towards China or Russia. The Carlyle Group achieved national attention in the early days of the Iraq occupation, especially after Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 9/11” exposed the firm’s umbilical ties to the Bush family and the House of Saud whihc inlcudes being bailed out by Credit Suisse major share holder National Bank of Sauid Arabia.

Credit Suisse top five shareholders include the Qatar Investment Authority and the Olayan Group, a private investment business with Saudi royal family roots.The Olayan Group traces its origins back to the General Contracting Company (GCC), founded to work on the construction of the Trans-Arabian Pipeline alongside the American contracting company Bechtel close friends of the CIA.

The Saudi and Bush family where certainly pivotal to the Iran Contra Affair (and the related BCCI banking scandal which also involved Pakistan intelligence [ who provided cash to the 9/11 bankers via Al Taqwa a bank based in Switzerland who directors include members of the Muslim Brotherhood and can also be linked to NZ shipment of dairy goods to Iraq under the corrupt (Food For Oil Program – over seen by Rochard Allen’s ‘neighbor Davod Mace of Ernst Young Honk Kong and Bao Steel China. The Contra are known to have funded Mexican and South American drug lords in the 1980’s and supported the US intelligence agency activities in South America. Its senior executive Frank Carlucci still maintained links with Don Rumsfeld and Colin Powell until his death from cancer in 2018. 

The Carlyle Group profited greatly from 9/11. It owns United Defense, with whom the army signed contracts for millions and millions of dollars during the War on Terror. Another company owned by the Carlyle Group is Booz Allen Hamilton, a government contractor who has done work for both the DHS and the NSA in the post 9/11 years, making gigantic profits. done namely through the purchase of influence over the daily flow of information to American media consumers. Through a dizzying array of connections to the national security state, and a media empire (that shields from critical scrutiny) EBay founder and chief of Booze Allen Hamilton Pierre Omidyar has become one of the world’s most politically sophisticated data oligarch.

Through the kiwi ANZ backed (backed by Carlyle) snapping up of printing presses, as digital data trade likewise became more of a monopoly, as well as at end of the day the textiles market (which form the raw back bone of what printing need in terms) independent print took a major blow in Australasia.  

Carlucci was affiliated with the Project for the New American Century (PNAC). PNAC co signature Richard V Allen is a part time resident in New Zealand and credited with planning strategy which saw former NY merchant banker John Key and current ANZ director elected PM in 2008 with the support of NZ Business Round Table figure like Stephen Jennings, former NZ Treasury and Credit Suisse, (who’s now invested heavily in Africa after his Russian success of Renaissance bank Moscow). New Zealand is mentioned in the Paradise Papers 60,000 times in relation to banks such as west {ac ASB and ANZ. John Key in fact is the only politician worldwide named directly by the Paradise Paper leaker. 

ANZ are critical in US relationships including the trade deal the TPPA and having hosted Obama Barack (Key’s regular golfing buddy) at ANZ Air New Zealand meeting in 2016 where Key’s partner in Air New Zealand was listed as the next PM, after Jacinda Ardern. A forecast made eight minutes into the ANZ sponsored meeting which is increasingly looking likely.  

Allen was a key player in the Iran Contra affair and roped in NZ and Australian politicians via Project Democracy as covered by TVNZ Current affairs program Eyewitness who busted one meeting which took place here in NZ in 1987. Project Democracy included Australian PM Malcolm Fraser chairman of CARE AUSTRALIA who employed Pacific Express (Southern World Airlines linked) to ship aid to Somalia where CARE Australia also assisted Australian Intelligence in its Somali compound staffed by Phoebe Fraser Malcolm’s daughter.  My books deal with this along with US Intelligence links to the death of UN Cater David Morris (accused by African Papers of drug trafficking) whose lawyer was James Woolesley a former CIA Director, involved in DynCorp, who again can be tied to organised crime arms trafficking and weapons trafficking in Kosovo and Bosnia. Conflicts where CARE was again busted for being used as a cover for western intelligence agencies in a very public affair.   

Allen in a legal memorandum to myself, threatening legal action for my 2005 article on his past, fingers US Secretary of Defence John Towers as arranging the original Iran Contra meeting which acted as a catalyst for the Iran Contra scandal. Towers chaired the Iran Contra Committee which examined the President and vice president knowledge.

The committee also included on it staff Julius Genachowski Carlyle Managing Director involved in the U.S. Buyout team of the global telecommunications, media and technology group, focusing on acquisitions and growth investments in global technology, media and telecom, including Internet and mobile.

Visa Spruce House and its co-founder in African e-markets. The ever-growing popularity of shopping on the Internet has created a budding market for online payment services, but one that will be dominated by a handful of key players, according to a report published Tuesday by the German subsidiary of the consultancy Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. 

Booze Allen Hamilton consultancy estimates the market for e-payment services to grow from $16.3 billion in 2008 to more than $50.2 billion by 2010. Three or four international providers of e-payment services will control the market, according to Booz Allen Hamilton inlcuding PayPal, an eBay Inc. subsidiary, and Google Inc.’s Checkout already tapped to be among the key players. According to Booz Hamilton.

At first glance, the Aim-quoted company appears to be a storied British manufacturer with royal connections. The Kidderminster-based business is over 120 years old, holds a Royal Warrant and famously supplied the red carpet for the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton in 2011. The present incarnation of Victoria really began the following year, however.

In 2012, Geoff Wilding, a former investment banker from New Zealand, took the helm as executive chairman of the West Midlands carpet maker after an acrid six-month boardroom battle. Wilding then embarked on an acquisition spree — or a “carpet roll-up”, if you like obvious puns — buying over 20 other flooring companies around the globe in little under a decade.

Shareholders who backed the Kiwi from the beginning were rewarded handsomely. Victoria soon regained its footing, successfully tapping the bond market in 2019 and then winning the support of Koch Industries the following year. The sprawling American conglomerate bought newly issued preference shares alongside a significant chunk of the flooring company’s common equity. By the summer of 2021, Victoria’s market capitalisation, backed by d by various banks including Credit Suisse was back above the £1bn mark. Things have started to unravel again this year, however, as the market soured on debt-laden businesses. Victoria’s share price has plunged nearly 70 per cent year-to-date, while its bond yields have soared to double-digits in recent weeks. 

Resilience Charters Limited — which the Maltese Business Register shows Wilding is the beneficial owner of — took ownership of a 50m-long vessel shortly afterwards, renaming the six-year-old superyacht “Resilience”.  Owning a second-hand superyacht is one thing, but the true mark of a successful carpet magnate is buying a brand-new custom-built boat. In September 2017, Italian shipbuilder ISA announced it had sold a new-build yacht codenamed Project Rocco, a 65m vessel scheduled for delivery in the spring of 2021. ISA’s technical director Gianpaolo Lapenna noted at the time that “the owner was deeply involved in the design phase along with his technical team and this yacht is really ‘his’ in every respect.” By now you’ve probably guessed the identity of “the owner”. The Maltese Business Register again shows that Wilding is the beneficial owner of Project Rocco Limited, which was incorporated shortly before ISA’s announcement. 

Shipping registries show that Wilding sold his original boat at the start of 2020, which its new owner renamed Arbema. The following year, ISA delivered Project Rocco, which Wilding christened Resilience, the same name as his previous boat. (See RSL Vesper II) Day 5 ….

Posted on August 4, 2016 by thesentinel2012

“In this post I will be looking once again at Anchor Trustees, and some of their longstanding commercial relations with Swiss trust or fiduciary firms. We will see that they have connections with Panama, and also an Asian presence in Singapore and Malaysia. John Hart and Michael Reynolds were involved in setting up a company called Firecrest Hambro Trust Corporation Ltd in 2003. The 5000 shares in this company were held by Firecrest Capital Ltd of London, which was the firm of Charles Hambro, whose surname is well known for a larger financial institution (there was an SG Hambros Trust Company on the New Zealand register until it was removed in July 2016).

Charles Hambro and his London associates appear to have retired, and Firecrest Capital went with them, and so the company named was changed in 2008. But, after a slew of directorial changes, the trust company remains registered with Anchor’s Auckland office, and the shareholding is with Anchor Investments Holdings Ltd; two original directors remain, Mr Reynolds, and a Swiss resident, Rolf Schlegel. Schlegel was joined in 2001 by another Swiss resident, Matthias Seiler, who is also associated with the Invico Group, and their website mentions the Firecrest Trust Corporation, which is described as a ‘leading’ New Zealand trust firm. Invico AG are mentioned once in the Panama Papers part of the ICIJ database, where they are linked to a Tilawa Holdings Ltd, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in 1998. Rolf Schlegel and Matthias Seiler are also directors in a number of other companies administered by Anchor Trustees in Auckland, including 3 recently registered: Stanwell Ltd; Aeolina Investments Ltd; and Journey (NZ) Ltd, which has now been removed.

Anchor Investment Holdings has many companies in its stable, and a number of Swiss resident directors, but Juerg Roland Greter pops up quite regularly. Greter is the principal in his own law firm, Greter & Partners of Zurich, and he has included his colleagues Marina Peter and Piero Palermo as directors in his New Zealand companies, such as Yashar Holdings Ltd. But Yashar Holdings was set up in 2007 when, according to his new firm’s website, he was a partner in a MGM Meier Greter in Zurich. It so happens that the firm’s name appears once in the Panama Papers, linked to a BVI company called Dronset Ltd, set up in 2002. Greter’s own name does not appear in the database, though there are a number of people named Meier from Switzerland. Then there is Erich Meier who works with Walter Wehrli in Konwave AG, a Swiss fund manager. Walter Wehrli appears once in the ICIJ database linked to the Alexander Gold Group, a BVI company set up in 2003.There was also a Wehrli Corp Ltd set up by Anchor in 2007, with Juerg Greter as a director. But when we come to Virtue Trustees (New Zealand) Ltd we find a number of connections to the Offshore Leaks database. Virtue Trustees was set up as Molson Management Services Ltd in 2010, and the original directors included Reynolds, and Nicholas Shepherd of Auckland, and Stephane Masson of Switzerland. Both Shepherd and Reynolds, and Masson, appear in the database linked to Portcullis Trustnet in Singapore, and Roger Hermann Frick of Switzerland. As an intermediary Roger Frick is linked to four Singapore companies, three of which were incorporated in 1996 are still active: Gaite Investment Pte Ltd; Goran Investment Pte Ltd; and Basham Investment Pte Ltd. Masson was an early director of Basham (Louis McElwee was a shareholder, along with Gordon Ralph Stewart); Reynolds, Shepherd and McElwee were shareholders in Goran Investment Pte Ltd. Masson was also a director of Gaite Investment Pte Ltd for about a year in 2003-4. There was also a Gaite Investment Ltd that was briefly set up by Anchor in 2014, with Roger Frick as a director, and apparently never traded. But Frick and Masson have also been directors of Cosgrove NZ Ltd, and Kaleso Trustee (New Zealand) Ltd – Kaleso is the name of the company that Frick has set up in Geneva, and there is also Malaysian one.

Going back to Virtue Trustees (New Zealand) Ltd, the shareholding was transferred to Kendris Ltd of Zurich in November 2015, with Ilona Gabor and Gabriella Patane as the Swiss directors. Patane is a partner in Kendris AG, and head of the trust services. It seems that Kendris has had some extensive links with Mossack Fonseca, judging by the six entries as an intermediary in the Panama Papers part of the database. One of the entities created was called Ventura Frontier Investments Ltd, registered in the British Virgin Islands, and with a beneficiary in Mohammed el Husseiny of Abu Dhabi. There is a Ventura Group Holding Ltd that is registered in Dubai, with el Husseiny and Joan Henry as directors, according to the Panama Papers”.—– SHAKESPEARE BAY Anchor and some Swiss Virtues Fiduciaries or Fraudsters?

SWA DRUG/USA JAPANESE DRUG TIES

—- “A Los Angeles office has already been established to develop south-bound business, usually more lucrative than the low value freight out of New Zealand. While exporters have welcomed the prospect of a second New Zealand operator offering more capacity and greater competition, some have questioned whether there is sufficient demand on the American route for another weekly freighter. The DC-8 can carry up to 45,000 kilograms. Increased passenger services have seen more cargo space available on Air New Zealand, United Airlines and Continental flights to and from the United States. A more noticeable freight bottleneck – at peak periods at least – has affected exporters to Japan, some of whom were hit last year by Qantas giving preference to Australian exporters. Southern World would apply for a scheduled service to Japan as well as charter rights, Mr Oomen said.  But its decision to fly the United States route had followed considerable analysis and market research after Air New Zealand stopped running its own DC-8 freighter in 1987. “The opportunity was perceived to be there,” he said. Mr Oomen emphasised that the scheduled American flights were only a portion of the planned business with charter flights expected to South-east Asia, the Pacific Basin and elsewhere.

The airline would offer a specialised service for perishable exports and would also carry bloodstock and livestock. ( A THEME OF WINE BOX LAUNDERING SEE WISHART LAYWERS GUNS & MONEY)

Hazardous goods not acceptable on passenger flights could be carried by the freighter. This is to be based in Auckland but offer flights from Wellington and Christchurch. Mr Harvey Misbin, a former American entrepreneur, involved in setting up Southern World, had been associated with the establishment of several air charter services in the United States, Mr Oomen said. A group of former Air New Zealand pilots are involved in the venture and have been trained to fly the DC-8.

By August 1990 Southern World was still not airborne. The airline’s chairman of directors of the airline, Mr Louis McElwee, an Auckland lawyer, told the NZ Herald that they were aiming at the end of September for the first flight. At first Southern World Airlines will offer a weekly service from Los Angeles to Hawaii, Auckland, Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, Guam, the East and back to Los Angeles. Since the airline was formed 18 months ago, it has been securing the necessary licences and landing rights in various countries, as well as overseas premises and agencies. “It is quite an immense exercise if you are going into it with the intention of being successful.”

By this stage the airline had leased one DC-8 and had options on another aircraft at short notice if required. The chief executive of Southern World Airlines was a former American entrepreneur, Mr Harvey Misbin, who had been associated with the establishment of several air charter services in the United States. The Gulf War (2 August 1990 – 28 February 1991) that followed Iraq’s invasion and annexation of Kuwait, delayed Southern World Airlines’ take-off. The DC-8 aircraft which the airline had intended to lease had to be made available to the United States military. The company chairman, Mr Louis McElwee, said in January 1991 that another DC-8 had been leased and the company hoped to begin operations in March. The change of aircraft also impacted on crew training.

Operations between North America and New Zealand and Australia finally began in March 1991. The first service through Auckland operated on the 18th of March 1991 with Southern Word McDonnell Douglas DC-8-62 N7043U operating from Melbourne and Christchurch through to the United States. A typical Southern World flight in this period was their twice weekly SWN021/022, which operated from Los Angeles to Honolulu, Pago Pago, Auckland and Melbourne before returning byway of Auckland and Honolulu. Southern World also regularly operated flights through Christchurch, Sydney and Nadi.
NOTE: Nadi was at this time CIA drugs and guns central visa BCCI who used it as their defactor whare house.

Flights were scheduled to fly where and when there was air cargo offering. Occasionally other DC-8’s was used.

The AHSNZ Aerolog recorded that Kalitta Air’s DC-8-73PF N809CK had operated a Southern World Honolulu-Auckland-Sydney-Auckland service on the 21st of May 1991 and another Kalitta Air aircraft*, McDonnell Douglas DC-8-55F N807CK had operated a Southern World flight through Pago Pago on the 8th of July 1991.The company is flying two routes — to Los Angeles via Honolulu and return twice a week, and to Chicagovia Hong Kong twice a week. It plans to begin a twice weekly direct Auckland to Japan service in about two months and expects to be operating a wide-bodied aircraft (such as a Lockheed Tristar) as well by the end of the year. Mr Annals (Pacific Express shareholder). says fulltime staff employed by the airline have grown from just eight at the time services began to a total of 85 three months on, with 28 pilots on the payroll and offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Hong Kong, Chicago and Los Angeles, and plans to open one in Japan. Southern World Airlines’ second aircraft, McDonnell Douglas DC-8-63(F) N863E entered service in July 1991.

Harvey Misbin CV list pilot for Van Nuys

Federal Authorities Arrest Nine Linked to Drug Operation That Used Private Jets to Smuggle Narcotics Across the U.S. – A wiretap investigation which examined the use of private jets based at Van Nuys Airport to transport illegal drugs resulted today in the arrest of nine defendants. The arrests are the result of Operation Jamaican Express West, which focused on the activities of Smooth Air Aviation, a charter company that allegedly facilitated the shipment of narcotics.

Airport linked to CIA Van Nuys operations.

Details of Cover CIA Airline described by head of of the Air Line  

I believe this case is linked directly to Harvey Misbin 1980s Drug U. S. Smuggling Operations and Indictments[edit]

In the early 1980s, Matta was involved with major cocaine smuggling operations. In 1984, he was indicted for his role in a Van Nuys smuggling ring. The discovery of the ring in 1981 resulted in the seizure of 114 pounds of cocaine and $1.9 million in cash, and based on ledgers found with the drugs, prosecutors later estimated that the ring had generated $73 million in just nine months.[6] In 1985, Matta was again indicted for his role in a major cocaine smuggling ring operating in Arizona and southern California. The ring was discovered in 1984, resulting in the seizure of about a ton of cocaine and $7.8 million in cash.[7]

Member of this ring linked to involvement in Camarena Kidnap-Murder:

Soon after the February 1985 kidnap-murder of U.S. DEA agent Enrique Camarena, Matta was suspected of involvement, and he was later indicted for his part in the kidnapping. According to journalist Elaine Shannon, Matta was actually located in Mexico City several days after Camarena’s kidnapping, but his arrest was delayed by Mexican authorities and he managed to flee the country.[8] U. S. law enforcement continued to track Matta, and in April 1985, they traced him to the Colombian city of Cartagena. At the DEA’s request, Matta was arrested by the Colombian government.[9] In March 1986, while extradition proceedings were still underway, Matta escaped from prison, according to some accounts by bribing prison authorities.[10] Later that year, Matta returned to his native country of Honduras.[11]

Note Colonel Oliver Jones of Iran Contra gave testimony which smeared Camaera while the Robert Mills The Underground Empire Number 1 NY makes clear Camarena was DEA and he was killed by corrupt Mexican law Enforcement who had a working relationship with the CIA. Misbin worked for Golden Jets Airways founded by LT Colonel Robert A Christy In 1976, LtCol Christy formed Golden Jet Airways in Los Angeles, and in 1980 co-founded The Air Group, a business jet sales and charter service.

Orion Airlines, Incorporated is a California Stock Corporation – Ca – General filed on October 20, 1980. The company’s filing status is listed as Suspended – its File Number is 1027557.

THE G20 SAGA. (CARRIED ONF FROM ABOVE ENTRY ) Only a few years later, in 1990, the Maori trustee (which saw Keith Petersen sacked at Justice for investigating believed corruption) was again under fire following the default of promissory notes, guaranteed by the trusteeship, in relation to a $10,000,000 stake put together by Sir Graham Latimer (NZ Privy Councilor despite his conviction for corporate white collar crime) on behalf of the Māori trust board in the QUINZ consortium to by the Quality Inn chain.

Petersen, thwarted from digging deeper, had selected John Victor Evans and the RSL scandal as his new bone. Yet again Petersen was sacked and the media had a field day attacking Petersen, his Gang of Twenty allegations and anyone associated with them: specifically Petersen’s co-conspirator, veteran investigative journalist David Hellaby, then of the Dominion Sunday Times.

This time, Petersen didn’t get his old job back, and the lawyer and Hellaby were vindicated following the collapse of RSL, Landbase and the convictions of the people named by Petersen, including Evans, as being involved in fraud. Perhaps one of the most violent critiques of Evans and Petersen would come from, surprisingly the Listener (which was quite liberal at the time), an article written by Murray McLaughlin. (Listener, July 30 1988)

The article targeted on Petersen’s statement “the Dominion reporter (Hellaby) and I reached the tentative conclusion that the dealings we had separately examined could well have been used either wholly or partially to cloak drug related money laundering”. (Note not tentative the money originated from Saui Arabia) He had continued to harp on at the time. The suspicions remained in the realm of fancy.

McLaughlin missed the point, I believe, as he had chosen to gloss over: 1. Petersen’s use of the word “tentative”. 2. That two separate investigators had looked at the same details in their total and had both reached the same verdict, something fishy here and it needs further investigation”. Petersen admitted then as he admitted to this writer during a brief phone conversation, that neither he nor Hellaby knew the purpose behind the scam. Their actions had not been launched to declare what the nature of the scam was but to alert us to the fact that a scam existed and they had been right.

Source: NZ Business, October 1988; NBR, July 12 & 20 (??), August 8, 1988 (Blank in archives) Page 245 State Secrets Ben Vidgen.

It appears to me that McLaughlin placed a little too much weight on the word of conman Ashley Palmer, in questioning the actions of Hellaby and Petersen. His story wasn’t an act of conspiracy, just an act of ignorance in my view. Hellaby had been led to the Gang of Twenty when Palmer on the verge of being exposed for his role in a $2.5 million GST fraud had promised a bigger story including “high intrigue and international espionage”.

Yet we have seen earlier that Evans (Mc Elwee the SWA Director & Columbia Consular) partner in G20 & did have espionage connections both through his association to Freeman ( Paul Freeman a CIA assett) and in turn through his association the Fijian based ETO.…

NOTE ERIC WATSON & EVAN CHRISTIAN HANOVER WAS A BIG DEAL IN NZ AT THE TIME

NOTE – EARLIER CALIMS THAT TIP OFF OF DRUGS INVOLVING SOUTHERN WORLD AIRLINES IN CAR PARTS AND THEY HAD CONNECTION YO COLUMBIAN FIRMS INOLVED IN DRUG TARRICKING IS INTERESTING

1. McElwee Honorary Consular to Columbia is listed as a partner in Menzies Investment Ltd along with Misbin and Jubita Misbin ( the Columbian military officers’ daughter).
2. I write page 54 “The sophisticated eavesdropping paid for by the taxpayers did have some benefits, as radio stations were raided and staff led away in handcuffs in a cocaine bust that also netted a prominent lawyer, Dan Witters, and businessmen Stuart Cairns and Don Abel. “Cairns and Abel were directors of the Italia Chain Company,” recalls Wishart, who investigated the matter during his research for The Paradise Conspiracy, and who was working at Radio Hauraki the day they led some of his colleagues away. “Italia Chain also linked up with Ray Smith’s Auckland Coin and Bullion Exchange, which became Goldcorp, and Ray Smith says he didn’t know the cocaine money was being laundered through Auckland Coin and Bullion.” Incidentally, it was private investigator Dan A. Thompson, a former police officer of 20 years’ experience who, according to the golden one himself, provided Smith with the tip off that Smith was the subject of a narcotics investigation by Customs.Thompson told him that Customs investigator Ross Kelly was following up information provided by Smith’s house-cleaner, Gail Janet Vincent (who was also Kelly’s girlfriend). There was another twist: motoring magnate Neville Crichton allegedly provided information about Smith’s alleged drug involvement as well, but there was more to this allegation than met the eye. Smith and Crichton were huge rivals on the motoring racetrack, and someone had caused Crichton big problems by anonymously tipping off Customs that Crichton was smuggling drugs into New Zealand in the engines of his racecars. Naturally, no drugs were found, but the forced engine stripdown the night before a major race didn’t go down well, and Crichton suspected archrival Smith was behind it. The two men began trading allegations in a tit-for-tat stoush between the car dealer and the wheelerdealer. Following Dan Thompson’s tip-off, Smith went on the offensive, causing the Auckland head of Customs, Noel Dravitski, to deny that Kelly’s investigation had been officially sanctioned. Kelly’s primary source – his girlfriend and Smith’s housekeeper – then suddenly changed her story and severed her relationship with him. Smiths autobiography, Where’s The Gold, is quite revelatory.
   
   One of his business associates, for example, was General Vasey, an adviser to drug and spy bank Nugan Hand. Where’s The Gold, Ray Smith, 1994. Once upon a time Smith had had many such friends. Smith writes that Labour’s Trevor de Cleene, the Minister of Customs, had “..quietly suggested that he and Roger Douglas, then Minister of Finance, would be grateful to receive a share allocation…” and were subsequently allotted “…50,000 shares each…via another sharebroker to some obscure company”. Cynics might be tempted to wonder what happened to those shares, if in fact they had existed, when three days prior to the firm’s official collapse, in a move played out at the expense of Goldcorp shareholders and creditors, the BNZ (in which Sir Roger was a principal director) drained Goldcorp’s bank account of all its cash savings. The connection to Goldcorp and drugs rises once more in Smith’s book when, according to the same man who boasts of his friendship with US mobsters, he is taken by surprise to discover that cocaine dealer Dan Witters just happened to be using Goldcorp to launder drug payments. Today a D Witters can be found listed at the address of 60 Khyber Pass Road Auckland. The same address cites a Stuart Hamilton Cairns at NZ Petroleum Co Ltd & DF Mainland & Co Ltd, associated with DF Mainland Securities. One Stuart Cairns is cited by Ray Smith as being his chief supplier of silver. Cairns and Abel were also arrested in the cocaine bust, as mentioned earlier, but the charges they faced related to personal use and were not serious. “Stuart Cairns and Don Abel seemed to shrug off their involvement with the cocaine industry, or it certainly hasn’t harmed them in Auckland business circles,” recalls Wishart. “Cairns in fact was a founder of merchant bank DF Mainland, which is now also involved in share broking. I would lay odds that there’s not one business journalist out there in the media who knows about Stuart Cairns’ background. DF MAINLAND 2004;

In State Secrets

In the article coted above there talk of a plan to save SWA but did not eventuate but I feel the buyer would have been Pacific Express until the TVNZ exposure a follow up to SWA done by the same reporter Rod vaughan sank that idea.

But in 1991 all these bastard children were a long way in the future. Pacific Express seemed to be booming, and, despite its initial “teething problems”, was enjoying positive coverage from Auckland’s “sophisticated” media. The same, however, could not be said of one of its major customers. CARE’s own international reputation was at this time the subject of unpleasant gossip, due to a series of persistent rumours tying it to gun running, embezzlement of funds, and bribery. (Nor was CARE’s reputation enhanced by the leading role CARE USA 98 played in lobbying for US military intervention in Somalia, regardless of the praise CARE’s Somalia mission received from the US Secretary of State Warren Christopher.)

The gun-running rumour would turn out to be the only event to be hearsay. In 1995, an independent audit into CARE Australia was held by AusAID as the result of a Nine Network Sunday Program report into the charity. The report documented how funds raised for aid operations in Bosnia were not spent on trucks as claimed, and how donated rice was used to bribe Kenya’s President Daniel Arap Moi. It went on to list a further 35 allegations indicating wrongdoing. AusAID’s own audit did not go so far as to concur with the extreme slant of the Nine programme – that actual criminal motivations were behind the charity’s mismanagement of funds.

However, it agreed that, at least in Mozambique and the Sudan, CARE Australia had overstated the value of food supplied (thus affecting the contributions it would have received from the UN). CARE was also coming under attack elsewhere, with fraud investigations into the charity in Germany, and the discovery that $300,000 had been embezzled from CARE accounts following investigations in Canada. 1 At the time of writing Yugoslavia is alleging that detained former Australian army, CARE worker, Steven Spatz and a fellow Australian CARE worker, are in fact intelligence officers using CARE as their covers”

“Meanwhile, Harvey Misbin reappeared, choosing New Zealand as his bolt hole. Godzone in 1987 – the place where all is just, state officials have only the public interest at heart, and the sheep don’t know how lucky they are. Misbin apparently did. One of Misbin’s first actions upon arrival was to purchase an incredibly ugly $800,000 house in Kerikeri. Such a symbol of his sense of security proved accurate, for despite the issue of the San Francisco subpoena, a mandatory FBI vetting check applied to all former US citizens seeking to emigrate to NZ, and (according to TVNZ’s Frontline Rod Vaughan TVNZ) Misbin’s name being listed on US Treasury’s TECS (Treasury Enforcement Communications System) database as a suspected drug trafficker, he was granted New Zealand citizenship…. on November 15, 1988 Misbin went into business with Lou McElwee. As fate would have it, McElwee’s office was in the same building as that of Misbin’s immigration consultant Aussie Malcolm – former National minister for immigration, and one of Muldoon’s “Honourable Men” — Page 91 State Secrets.

The questions keep mounting up, such as how did Rob Muldoon – accountant – become Muldoon the financier of dodgy car dealers, Muldoon the Prime Minister, Muldoon the director of the IMF, or Muldoon, the nominal registrar of the Mr Asia front companies? Why did Muldoon have Davies fired? Was it for revealing the presence of a National MP’s brother on a drug boat during his own investigation into high level corruption and heroin trafficking within New Zealand? Are Muldoon’s links (which hacks of that era love to talk about, while perching at their favourite bars, but which they never wrote about) with the famous court of Carmen,

Wellington’s own link to the famous Les Girls of Sydney, owned by notorious Mr Asia-affiliated Sydney mobster Abe Saffron, during the 1970s, of any significance in this picture?

The BNZ employs Scott-Kemmis, the very man who had helped the famous mercenary/CIA/drug bank Nugan Hand fly in the first place.

Why did they do it, when all of this was public knowledge at the time the BNZ appointed him, and one of their own senior shareholders had even read the Stewart report which had made the Commission’s scornful opinion clear? And when this happened why did know no one ask ‘hey that’s a bit odd – what’s going on here?’ Where did the billion dollars that BNZ Australia “lost” under Leigh Scott-Kemmis’ leadership actually go.”

COMPARE THIS AGAINST (later pages) “Evidence linking such firms to the actual PNG conflict surfaced when it was discovered that helicopters from Australia’s Victoria National Safety Council, an organization associated to the CIA, ASIO, and arms dealers Parachute Safety Ltd, had been used to ferry PNG troops to the conflict in Bougainville”. 1 VNSCA was initially funded by the ANZ Bank, Nugan Hand-style, with the loan been authorised by Bruce Pointing, a former officer in Army intelligence. It later collapsed due to the corruption of Jonathan Friedrich, a confessed CIA agent (though more likely a conman used as a CIA asset).

PACIFIC EXPRESS (SOUTHERN WORLD AIRLINES 2.0) Czech-born (or at least Czech passport-holding) Simon Spitz, aka Simon Lahav, aka Shimon Lahav – described alternatively as a Swiss national, an Israeli, a German Israeli or a Czech Israeli – assisted by Grant Annals and Roger Banks, former managing directors for Southern World, opened Pacific Express in 1991, with Spitz as the primary shareholder. Pacific Express would attempt the same mission that Southern World had selected – the creation of a major international air freight business based in Auckland. It proved no more successful than its predecessor, however. Almost as soon as it started operating, it was slapped with a wind-up notice from the Central Airport Sheraton Hotel for costs in excess of $17,000. This large room service bill was soon accompanied by Charter 1 By way of strange coincidence, one Stanley G. Williams surfaced at the centre of a pyramid selling scam under investigation by the US Treasury and New Zealand’s Serious Fraud Office in 1998.

The New Zealand Justice Department was puzzled when a second US agency became involved, which refused to identify itself or the nature of its interest in Stanley G. Williams. 97 Shipping’s bill for $59,000 in connection to a Pacific Express Australian – Kenya-Somalia-Kenya venture undertaken on behalf of CARE Australia, which somehow involved the Sydney departing aircraft stop in Jakarta to begin with for “purchases” made by Pacific Express in connection to the CARE Australian operation (dubbed as a UN aid relief by the papers). The debts were quickly sorted out, however, and Pacific Express continued trading for a further year before mismanagement and Spitz’s past caught up with the airline, sending it into debt to the tune of $15 million – of which $12 million, the Serious Fraud Office would discover, had been embezzled by Spitz before he skipped the country. Chas Sturt in his autobiography would state that “someone had gone to a great deal of trouble to spirit this connected launderer now wanted in five countries out of Israel. I didn’t fancy our chances against this type of muscle.” Sturt claims that he received “intelligence” reports that Spitz had been backed by the CIA, and that Spitz, described as a US defence cargo contractor, had been running guns and helicopters for the UN in Angola.

Probes into Pacific Express showed “missiles and guns” were frequently on the cargo schedule.

Following the collapse of Pacific Express, Annals and Banks became involved in yet another air adventure with the creation of a firm called Austral Aviation Ltd, formerly Austral Aviation (1992) Ltd, operating out of Suite 15a, The Strand Building, 125 The Strand, Auckland. This would be the same office used by Global Aviation Logistics Ltd, incorporated in January 1997. In 1994 a firm of the name Austral Air Limited would be incorporated (who list as their officer a Timothy Andrew Enright) later dubbed Air Queenstown. As with Teldar, this is believed to one of several interconnecting subsidiaries such as Teldar No.27 – formerly United Mortgage Limited (Dissolution liquidators statement filed 31 January 1996) who share if not the same directors the same addresses or vice versa.

Iran Contra participant via Project Democracy

“Project Democracy,” (PRODEM), was the code name for the covert program funneling arms and guns to CIA backed anti-Communist forces around the world, from Nicaragua to Angola to Afghanistan and Cambodia. Tens of millions of dollars were raised from rake-offs on Iran arms sales, contributions from kings and sultans, tax deductible donations from Texas right-wingers, profits from drug running, etc. With Some creative accounting these funds were not only used to finance the CIA’s Nicaraguan mercenaries, despite the Boland Amendment which for a time banned “direct and indirect” US military aid to the contras; but also, to lobby Congress and defeat anti-contra Congressmen in the ’84 elections. In the course of it, a lowly colonel put the arm on King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, threatened President Arias of Costa Rica to cut off US aid, ordered the US ambassador to Costa Rica to organise a united contra “Southern Front,” and much, much more.

Translated the article states;

“There is no trace of him in the Maltese register, or there is more than one mention of Fernando Orlandi, who was president of the Venice casino in Malta for several years. Femia is connected to the Mazzaferro clan, which already in the 1980s was able to bring more than 3,000 kilograms of cocaine to Italy from South America every two months.

Femia is a mobster who, with his network of contacts, is able to cover half of the Italian gambling market and “slot” machines, as he himself told the judges. His daughter Guendalina is accused of laundering part of her father’s money in an investigation launched by the San Marino authorities. In this case, for the first time, there is a connection between the name of the clan and the casino Venezia in Malta. Defending himself against the accusations, his daughter said that the 580,000 euros she transferred from her account to the account of a company in Cyprus served to finance the activities of the Venezia casino, which Orlandi managed until its closure in 2013. So the money was laundered thanks to his squinting? This is a disturbing thesis, especially since 40% of the casino is owned by the city of Venice, i.e. the citizens of the capital of the Veneto region. The role of Orlandi in everything is visible, bearing in mind what is written in the Maltese register, it turns out that an Italian resident in London is a shareholder, with a small share, of two companies on the island. One is Casino Venecija, the other is called Sportalnet Limited and presents itself as a supplier of software and innovative systems for digital games. Orlandi is a shareholder of this company with the company International Trust Ltd. for which it is impossible to know who is hiding behind it.”

“In this post I will be looking once again at Anchor Trustees, and some of their longstanding commercial relations with Swiss trust or fiduciary firms. We will see that they have connections with Panama, and also an Asian presence in Singapore and Malaysia. John Hart and Michael Reynolds were involved in setting up a company called Firecrest Hambro Trust Corporation Ltd in 2003. The 5000 shares in this company were held by Firecrest Capital Ltd of London, which was the firm of Charles Hambro, whose surname is well known for a larger financial institution (there was an SG Hambros Trust Company on the New Zealand register until it was removed in July 2016). Charles Hambro and his London associates appear to have retired, and Firecrest Capital went with them, and so the company named was changed in 2008. But, after a slew of directorial changes, the trust company remains registered with Anchor’s Auckland office, and the shareholding is with Anchor Investments Holdings Ltd; two original directors remain, Mr Reynolds, and a Swiss resident, Rolf Schlegel. Schlegel was joined in 2001 by another Swiss resident, Matthias Seiler, who is also associated with the Invico Group, and their website mentions the Firecrest Trust Corporation, which is described as a ‘leading’ New Zealand trust firm. Invico AG are mentioned once in the Panama Papers part of the ICIJ database, where they are linked to a Tilawa Holdings Ltd, incorporated in the British Virgin Islands in 1998. Rolf Schlegel and Matthias Seiler are also directors in a number of other companies administered by Anchor Trustees in Auckland, including 3 recently registered: Stanwell Ltd; Aeolina Investments Ltd; and Journey (NZ) Ltd, which has now been removed.

Anchor Investment Holdings has many companies in its stable, and a number of Swiss resident directors, but Juerg Roland Greter pops up quite regularly. Greter is the principal in his own law firm, Greter & Partners of Zurich, and he has included his colleagues Marina Peter and Piero Palermo as directors in his New Zealand companies, such as Yashar Holdings Ltd. But Yashar Holdings was set up in 2007 when, according to his new firm’s website, he was a partner in a MGM Meier Greter in Zurich. It so happens that the firm’s name appears once in the Panama Papers, linked to a BVI company called Dronset Ltd, set up in 2002. Greter’s own name does not appear in the database, though there are a number of people named Meier from Switzerland. Then there is Erich Meier who works with Walter Wehrli in Konwave AG, a Swiss fund manager. Walter Wehrli appears once in the ICIJ database linked to the Alexander Gold Group, a BVI company set up in 2003.There was also a Wehrli Corp Ltd set up by Anchor in 2007, with Juerg Greter as a director.

But when we come to Virtue Trustees (New Zealand) Ltd we find a number of connections to the Offshore Leaks database. Virtue Trustees was set up as Molson Management Services Ltd in 2010, and the original directors included Reynolds, and Nicholas Shepherd of Auckland, and Stephane Masson of Switzerland. Both Shepherd and Reynolds, and Masson, appear in the database linked to Portcullis Trustnet in Singapore, and Roger Hermann Frick of Switzerland. As an intermediary Roger Frick is linked to four Singapore companies, three of which were incorporated in 1996 are still active: Gaite Investment Pte Ltd; Goran Investment Pte Ltd; and Basham Investment Pte Ltd. Masson was an early director of Basham (Louis McElwee was a shareholder, along with Gordon Ralph Stewart); Reynolds, Shepherd and McElwee were shareholders in Goran Investment Pte Ltd. Masson was also a director of Gaite Investment Pte Ltd for about a year in 2003-4. There was also a Gaite Investment Ltd that was briefly set up by Anchor in 2014, with Roger Frick as a director, and apparently never traded. But Frick and Masson have also been directors of Cosgrove NZ Ltd, and Kaleso Trustee (New Zealand) Ltd – Kaleso is the name of the company that Frick has set up in Geneva, and there is also Malaysian one.

Going back to Virtue Trustees (New Zealand) Ltd, the shareholding was transferred to Kendris Ltd of Zurich in November 2015, with Ilona Gabor and Gabriella Patane as the Swiss directors. Patane is a partner in Kendris AG, and head of the trust services. It seems that Kendris has had some extensive links with Mossack Fonseca, judging by the six entries as an intermediary in the Panama Papers part of the database. One of the entities created was called Ventura Frontier Investments Ltd, registered in the British Virgin Islands, and with a beneficiary in Mohammed el Husseiny of Abu Dhabi. There is a Ventura Group Holding Ltd that is registered in Dubai, with el Husseiny and Joan Henry as directors, according to the Panama Papers.

KALESO is a premier boutique firm specializing in trust, family office and fiduciary services. The Group was founded in 2015 by three Partners: Roger Frick, Stéphane Masson, and Magdalena Gomes.The Partners first joined forces at KPMG Switzerland, each bringing a diverse set of skills and background to the team. In 2005, Roger and Stéphane co-founded Kendris Ltd., Switzerland, a spinoff of KPMG Private, and continued to expand their outreach and expertise in various markets (including the Americas and Asia). Magdalena played an instrumental role in building out the administrative arm for the Latin American team.

A decade later, the team decided to transition their business model to a more client-focused approach by creating KALESO Group. The Partners wanted to bring their “big firm” experience while offering greater flexibility to support their clients. They saw the shortcomings of the larger firms and felt they could provide high-quality services with a more personalized touch in a boutique firm setting.

KALESO has office locations in Switzerland, the United States, and Panama, as well as affiliate companies in Hong Kong and New Zealand.

+++What my colleague Nicky Hager NZ best known journalist has to say about Portcullis.

Nicky Hager: ‘Story of the offshore company Portcullis TrustNet: ‘Lawyers and Accountants Help Rich Manage Their Money”

“The story of Portcullis TrustNet and its birthplace — the Cook Islands — is in many ways the story of the offshore system itself…..The Cook Islands’ Parliament approved laws covering offshore banking, companies, trusts and insurance in1981.One of those who helped oversee the introduction of the legislation was Mike Mitchell, a New Zealand lawyer who served as the Cook Islands’ solicitor general in the early 1980s.Five years later, in keeping with an apparent pattern of tax-haven officials moving freely between government and industry, Mitchell decided to go into the offshore business himself.

He left his post as solicitor general in 1986 and established an offshore services firm in 1987. The firm, initially called Pacific Trustee Company Limited and then International Trust Corporation Limited, was named TrustNet in the early 1990s and, eventually, Portcullis TrustNet. Mitchell was the main shareholder and company chair when the enterprise opened its doors with a staff of two and offices on Rarotonga, the largest of the Cook Islands, which even now only has a population of about 13,000 and measures about 20 miles in circumference.

SCANDAL OF THE DECADE

TrustNet grew quickly, opening a Hong Kong office in 1991*, the same year Mitchell told the Cook Islands News that the company dealt mainly with clients brought in by lawyers and accounting firms in Hong Kong. He said, “Sometimes we don’t know the identity of the clients,” but added that “anything that looks remotely dubious or of the laundering variety we just won’t handle.” Anti-money laundering experts say that sort of logic doesn’t make sense — it’s impossible to know whether someone’s involved in money laundering or other crimes, they say, without knowing their identity. “You’ve got to know who your customer is,” said Charles Intriago, a former U.S. prosecutor and president of the Miami-based Association of Certified Financial Crime Specialists. “If you don’t know who the guy is, there’s no way to know why he’s bringing his money offshore.”

Mitchell could say that in 1991, though, without anyone taking much notice. Things would soon change. The Cook Islands were about to become the epicenter of scandal.In 1994, Winston Peters walked into New Zealand’s Parliament carrying a cardboard wine box containing a trove of secret corporate tax documents. Peters, a member of Parliament, said the box held evi4dence of “wholesale cheating” on taxes.”

* The bulk of the clients for Portcullis come from China. The Winebox Affair, as it was called, became New Zealand’s scandal of the decade. In reality it is just one chapter in an entire book ranging from the Nugan hand affair to the Pandora Papers.

The documents came from a company called European Pacific Banking Corporation, part of the European Pacific Group, which counted among its senior executives Trevor Clarke, one of the key players who helped the Cook Islands to become a tax haven. (See Wine box files attached). One of the allegations at the center of the scandal involved European Pacific persuading the Cook Islands authorities to accept NZ$2 million in taxes — money that was later returned, minus a NZ$50,000 fee.

A European Pacific subsidiary then presented the Cook Islands tax certificate to the New Zealand tax authorities without disclosing that the money had mostly been returned, creating a massive tax write-off in New Zealand. As a British judge summed it up later, “thus European Pacific was better off by $1.95 \[million], the Cook Islands was better off by $50,000 and the New Zealand Government was worse off by $2 m[illion].” Many other contentious transactions were alleged in the Winebox Affair but in the inquiries and court cases that followed, few witnesses were willing to come forward. The Cook Islands’ solicitor general, John McFadzien, publicly warned people subpoenaed by New Zealand authorities that they could be prosecuted under Cook Islands offshore secrecy law if they gave evidence. Nevertheless, tens of millions of dollars in unpaid taxes were eventually retrieved (again the tip of the iceberg), New Zealand’s tax laws were tightened and, for many years after, the Cook Islands were synonymous in Australasia with dodgy offshore deals.

NEW ZEALAND TAX LAW WHERE NOT TIGHTEN AND JOHN KEY WOULD BE PIVOTAL TO CREATE LAWS WHICH OFFERED LAUNDERING OPPORTUNITIES AND NOT I REPAT NOT DOING MUCH ABOUT THE LOOP HOLES.

A less known part of the story is what happened to others involved in the Winebox Affair. One of them was George Couttie. He had been a senior European Pacific tax expert handling the secret transactions and had gone to work for TrustNet in Hong Kong before the affair broke.

NOTE: COUTTIE AND MCELWEE LISTED ON NAME OF THOSE WHOM AN INJUNTION WAS PLACED UPON DUE TO THEIR BELIEVED POSSESSION OF THE ‘WINEBOX’ FILES.

Lawyers for European Pacific later accused him in court of leaking the documents that had led to the scandal. Couttie has always remained silent about his alleged role. Soon after this accusation was made, according to the ICIJ documents, senior TrustNet staff recorded a terse companyresolution that “accepted” his resignation “effective from the date hereof.” In contrast, John McFadzien, the solicitor general who had invoked offshore secrecy that helped shield the activities of European Pacific, resigned from government and found a new job — as a senior TrustNet lawyer. McFadzien has since died. Geoff Barry, a European Pacific manager in the Cook Islands during the years of the Wine-box deals, returned to New Zealand for a few years. Then he, too, took a job at TrustNet. Within three years he had become the TrustNet’s chief executive officer. Today, more than ten years later, he is a group director in TrustNet’s Hong Kong office. He did not respond to a request for comment. The revolving door between industry and officials was also seen at the islands’ new Financial Supervisory Commission. Trevor Clarke, the founding patriarch of the Cooks’ offshore industry in the 1980s and a key figure in the Winebox Affair, was appointed chairman of the regulatory commission from 2003 until 2010. TrustNet’s low-profile services were being used by many of the world’s major banks, such as UBS, Deutsche Bank and Credit Suisse subsidiary Clariden, and by the world’s biggest auditing firms, such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte and KPMG. Bank accounts were being opened for clients in many parts of the world, from branches of HSBC in Singapore to the Cook Islands branch office of the Australian bank, ANZ.(current director John Key)

In 2009 the U.S. Department of Justice successfully brought a criminal case against Switzerland’s largest bank UBS for assisting offshore tax evasion. This was followed by actions against a dozen other Swiss banks, such as Credit Suisse. Wegelin, Switzerland’s oldest bank, folded early this year after admitting it had sheltered U.S. tax evaders. Singapore — on the other side of the world and with vault-like banking secrecy — offered a solution to those determined to resist the U.S. Action. London-based international lawyer Jamison Firestone summed it up: “You’re not going to get any banking information out of Singapore,” he said. It is “a respectable-sounding black hole.” TrustNet, with its range of secrecy products, was perfectly placed to benefit from the offshore world’s ever evolving geography.

HOW THE WINE BOX WAS LIKE G20 COVERED UP BY WILLING AUTHORITIES AND MAINSTREAM NEW ZEALAND LEGAL & BANKING PROFESSIONAL

“An AUT University PhD student has uncovered documents linking former Kensington Swan solicitor and current Serious Fraud Office acting chief executive Simon McArley with European Pacific, the company at the centre of the 1990s Winebox affair. Simon Boyce is poring over evidence presented to the Winebox Commission of Inquiry which was established to determine whether the Inland Revenue Department and the Serious Fraud Office had acted legally and competently in their investigations into Cook Islands tax transactions that cost the New Zealand Government millions. He found two fax covering letters dating from 1989 sent from McArley to two European Pacific employees at the centre of the Cook Islands deals, George Couttie and David McNair.

NOTE: KENSINGTON SWAN – MCELWEE OLD FIRM LISTED AS LAWYERS FOR SWA. NOW KNOWN AS ‘KMPG LEGAL’

The faxes appear to revel this at time I believe Mcelwee worked for Kensington Swan named as a player in Woine Box which revolved around shelf companies used by European Pacific in redeemable preference share transactions that created favourable tax structures for clients. “Since the IRD actually prosecuted in the case of the redeemable share deals, involving the BNZ, there is a question over Kensington Swan’s role,” Boyce said. “That litigation failed on the basis that there was not proof of a ‘meeting of minds’, and the BNZ knowing in advance how all the transactions worked.” Boyce said the main issue is that McArley appears to be a “poacher turned gamekeeper”. “That might be all right, but the public should at least be aware of it before he becomes the permanent head of the SFO.”

“At that time the practice was involved in a number of structured finance transactions, most of which involved preference share issuance. As part of the practice, I was working for a number of clients, including Fay Richwhite in the BNZ transaction”. Said McFarley At the High Court in 2000, Justice McGechan found that as a whole there was no reason for such complicated structures except to avoid tax.

However, from BNZ’s perspective as an investor it appeared conventional and therefore the bank was not involved in tax evasion. New Zealand First leader and MP Winston Peters, who tabled documents in Parliament that led to disclosure of the Winebox transactions and pushed for inquiries into the affair for more than a decade, said the Serious Fraud Office acted “abysmally and shamefully” in its investigations into the Winebox structures.However, he said, someone working for a law firm could get caught in circumstances beyond their control that were being driven from higher up. McArley said the SFO was aware of his full work history, including this period of time.

12.WELCOME TO THE PIMP STATE

COLIN MCKENNA —–BROKERS FOR FIRMS HANDLED BY SEX KINGS THE CHOW BROTHERS.

“The council accused them of failing to properly protect the property; some suspected they were deliberately seeking demolition to build a new 10-storey operation. The brothers vehemently rejected that, insisting that demolition was the last thing they wanted. At one point in their dispute with Auckland Council, the brothers threatened that if they refused to meet with them, they would send 200 strippers and prostitutes to protest outside every Eden Park World Cup game”.

The “official” brothel industry is running out of steam Magnates of the New Zealand sex industry, the Chow brothers present themselves as successful, model entrepreneurs. They own several prostitution venues in Wellington. In 2011, they presented a project to construct a 15-floor brothel on the historic ruins of the Palace Hotel, in front of the Auckland landmark, Sky Tower. This project followed a chaotic path, which mimics the debate on prostitution regulation. Several lobbies fiercely opposed the project (catholic groups, associations for the preservation of historic heritage, etc.). Following the destruction of the Palace Hotel for the construction undertaken by the two brothers, the City Council of Auckland demanded $200,000 (approximately €155,000) in compensation for Sexual Exploitation: Prostitution and Organized Crime 217 damages. These were still unpaid as of the end of 2011. However, construction of the brothel was eventually accepted under certain conditions. The Chow brothers, who manage 80 to 100 “employees”, were severely criticized in an article which described the harsh working conditions imposed upon the prostitutes: “mostly between the ages of 18 and 21, they must pay for rent, lubricants, condoms, and must receive customers for 17 hours per day in order to keep at least 50% of the profit…” Some more bizarre initiatives (such as the opening of the first venue for female clients or the opening of new venues in smaller towns) did not thrive in the face of the economic downturn and a lack of customers. In a similar way, in Queenstown, the project of a two-floor bus devoted to prostitution did not survive, due to the lack of clients and to the repeated condemnations by the City Council.”

“the recruitment of women to prostitution is taking place through a collaboration between our neoliberal government; pimps and the global sex trade lobby, and male sexual liberals in academia.

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE.

In 2016 Alfa paid $795 million to Dutch and U.S. authorities in 2016 to settle claims of bribery to politicians in Uzbekistan. The bribes were paid to ensure that Alfa was successful in creating a telecommunication monopoly in Uzbekistan. Fridman’s primary investment vehicle for this objective had being LetterOne, whose CEO Alexander Pertsovsk use to work for John Key’s old bank Merill Lynch he began working for Renaissance Capital in 2007 (before moving to LetterOne) which had being established by another former Credit Suisse investment banker, prior to Putin turned on his former partners in crime and in doing so began a new cold war, the current head of New Zealand Institute Stephen Jennings. 

Jennings had made his money using the methods he first pioneered privatising NZ Rail (to the benefit of Fay Richwhite and Alex van Heeren), back when Jenny Morel was just NZ Rail director and Jennings a mere New Zealand Treasury analyst, to help western merchant bankers carve up the former USSR assets. Beginning with the plot model the sale of Bolshevik Biscuit Company) and critical infrastructure. At which point Jennings and his backers then turned their attention to seizing the natural resource critical infrastructure and public asset of Africa.

Another example of this NZ Russian connection occurred in 2019 when commodities-trading arm VTB & Swiss based Credit Suisse where found guilty of fraudulent loans involving $200 million in bribes and kickbacks as UN climate change aid money was diverted into buying Israeli weapons according to the U.S. Department of Justice. More than 70 millions of this money would be washed through the Christchurch real estate market by another Christchurch old boy banker Andrew Pearce.

Other Canterbury Russian ties ( with Swiss accounts full of looted dosh no doubt) include Oleg Kirillov and Yuri Koropachinskiy who in 2013 was certainly running with my dad mates when he invested $500m development of the Porter Heights ski-field, The same year Billionaire Konstantin Malofeev brought a dairy factory a kilometer away from the proposed dawn launch site connected with Russian billionaire Konstantin Malofee which is later, is bought by NZ dairy giant Fonterra. 2013 also marks the year Russian steel magnate, stadium buyer and Russian Israeli entrepreneur Alexander Abramov brought land in Dunedin and Queenstown. ( a survey on largest users of an online data base devoted to land use in Waitaki found biggest users where Russian speaking).

Tax haven blacklist for New Zealand? – “The Government is in the dark over suggestions New Zealand could be placed on a “tax haven” blacklist being drawn up by the European Union. The EU Parliament has established a 65 member Panama Papers committee of inquiry into tax evasion and money laundering and will report back by next June. It is screening a draft list of countries for its tax haven blacklist and will come up with a final list in 2017.Newshub reported EU parliament member Michael Theurer as saying the Panama Papers had detailed “thousands of letterbox companies” in New Zealand “so we have to investigate” as part of that exercise. Secretive Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca bragged to clients how easy New Zealand laws made it for foreign investors to hide their tax-free profits. Prime Minister John Key was forced to defend the country’s tax laws last week, dismissing a report that detailed the offshore trusts set up in New Zealand for Malta’s Energy Minister, Konrad Mizzi, and the prime minister’s chief of staff, Keith Schembri. However, in 2012 Mossack Fonseca’s New Zealand staff reported advice they received from an executive at Nexus Trust: “NZ has very weak laws in regard to due diligence; they only require utility bill and passport. Trust companies are not required to hold a licensee.”

In Malta, a public protest has called for no less than the resignation of Prime Minister Joseph Muscat over the news that Mizzi and Schembri set up secret holdings in Panama and New Zealand linked to a Dubai bank account.

The End.

THE SILENT WAR ———–

August 28, 2020 I wrote;· 

‘Some one or some group is hammering the shit out energy hubs at the moment. I mean once you go looking it biblical in scale. Think I saw around 30 forty case like this throughout the Middle East. Has same M.O as when a few years ago US refinery and crude supply line got hit by a wave of sabotage. Meanwhile nature (?) is also hammering the US Ethanol Oil Grain and Aviation gas storage and production centers. My advice is your buying a mask make it a mad max one and as the gremlin stockbroker (Gremlins 3) said invest heavily in canned foods and shot guns’.

I wrote the above on top of my regular reporting on multiple case of attacks and arson on critical food (and water) infrastructure in New Zealand throughout 2018 and 2019 as New Zealand followed an emerging international trend. Since then dozens of food processing plants have being destroyed and or damaged in 2021 by “accidental fires.” After several months of a lull in mysterious fires rippling through the food industry, the first major one of the new year was reported by NBC Connecticut. More than 100 firefighters battled a massive fire at a commercial egg farm in Bozrah, Connecticut on January 28 2022. Meanwhile Bloomberg analytic data shows news stories for “food plant fire” jumped the most in a decade last year. Further according to a report published by Allied Market Research, the global fire insurance market generated $58.49 billion in 2019, and is expected to generate $120.49 billion by 2028, witnessing a CAGR of 11.9% from 2021 to 2028. This does not prove orchestrated economic war fare but it does confirm an issue with supply exist that are impacting insurance cost and food security.

As food security cost increase so do arm sales. Weapon sales jumped globally by 50% in 2022 from the year previous.

On that note I also early in the piece forecast the rapid increase of security at supermarket and how racism and other societal issues would be blamed on the rise of security already planned some time before the news stries rolledout precisely as predicted.

I would write;

“Both Countdown involved in public disturbances owned by IN moving into NZ market and buying up supermarkets. While in 2018 a teenager was charged with the manslaughter of a Countdown security guard – the incident was caught on CCTV – after he was head butted and killed the security guard Serbian born Goran Milosavljevic . Sydney Jayden Kokiri, 18, has pleaded not guilty and is due to go on trial next year. Countdown is owned by Wool Worths but the building of the three-supermarket involved in incidents owned by Stride Stapled Group who share value increased 56% in past week. In 2020 Countdown posted a 20 million profit due the monopoly supermarkets achieved during covid 19.

Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister David Clark last year instructed the Commerce Commission to conduct a “market study” into the $21 billion groceries industry. After New Zealand was found to be one of the most concentrated retail grocery markets monopolies in the world and there were indications that competition in the sector was non existent over time. Countdown made record profits during Covid and concern of profit gauging rose as clients became frustrated at increased food cost. Wool Worth executive met last year to discuss “buying limits” and anticipated future food shortages and subsequent public outrage at the Supermarkets Taskforce – made up of Woolworths, Coles, Aldi and Metcash – who met high level Australia government officials during August 2020.

It was announced by Countdown in Australia three weeks ago that supermarket would begin introducing body cameras because of violence – cameras the New Zealand police however refuse to adopt, as they prefer buying guns, to ensure public safety and transparency. Supermarket shoppers are also feeling the effects of the global pandemic on the country’s food supply, with a shortage of bananas and some other grocery staples. which is anticipated to only escalate in the event of another crisis such as those recently caused by cyber hacks. At this years Crisis X security summit former PM John Key warned hacking could be New Zealand next March 15th. Wools Worth began using covert secret cameras at checkout in Australia in May 2019. It is not known whether that technology is used over here yet”.

The timing of these fires in food plants and the foreseen food shortage comes at a time when the US and other nations are also suffers from a severe shortage of eggs in supermarkets. The cause is alleged in US corporate media to be due to bird flu wiping out tens of millions of egg-laying hens. Egg shortages where however blamed in New Zealand on the government deciding (at a time of food shortage and rising uncertainty) to enforce a ban on caged egg. Writing for The Spinoff earlier this month, Olivia Sisson explained that it was linked to the introduction of legislation first enacted a decade earlier that would outlaw battery caged eggs.

Virtually unreported the role played by big pharma based companies involved in factory farming. Namely big pharma’s policy to reduce protein in traditional feed manufacturing. A cost cutting exercise which however greatly reduces eggs laying potential. The New Zealand ‘cage laying’ crisis triggered a national shortage of eggs which I repeat occur coincidentally at the very same time as the USA, UK, Maylasia (blamed on the flu and Ukraine) experienced an egg shortage as well. Other shortages which can’t be blamed on Chicken Lives Mattering (or Bird Flu) include CO2 – used in beer, orange juice, bread, canned food, pet food, corn, cooking oil, beef, cheese, baby formula. Forbes Magazine in fact blame the cause of all such such shortages on inflation fueled by free market speculation. Put simply opportunists seeing a moment and time to maximum profit by exploiting scarcity simply because they can.

Todd Energy one of the largest influences on New Zealand energy politics and the government approach to ‘renewable’ fuels (and whose former executives include the current PrimeMinister Christ Hipkins) said the CO2 short was triggered by a safety valve releasing ammonia. It expected liquid CO2 production to restart early next month but the company would not reach full capacity until later this year and will have to do another three-week shutdown in March. Corporate media simply accepted this explanation at face value without documented evidence or commenting on the monopoly in CO2 production handed to Todd following Marden Refinery closure. The Todd Energy Kāpuni liquid carbon dioxide plant in Taranaki has been New Zealand’s only domestic producer of food-grade CO2 since the Marsden Point refinery was decommissioned last year. The closure sent gas prices skyrocketing close to 600 percent, under some distributors. BOC has had to ration the gas, and that has left businesses without the products they need – like Garage Project, one of New Zealand’s largest breweries, that ran out of carbon dioxide at one site – leaving more than 60,000 litres of unfinished beer. Beer prices have already gone up twice in the last six months by 15-20%.

Todd family and has interests in the energy and media sectors, CEO Geoff Ricketts. Ricketts is also chairman of Lion Nathan National Foods, one of the biggest food and beverages companies in Asia Pacific.

Describing the ongoing global turmoil as a perfect storm, UN Secretary General António Guterres said in his speech at the World Economic Forum that cooperation was urgently needed in a fragmented world.

Food security was also one of the themes of the annual Davos meeting earlier this month. The perfect storm, he maintained, was raging on several fronts, especially economic, with an unfolding cost-of-living crisis, rising inequality, looming recession, energy crunch, soaring inflation and supply chain disruptions among its many aspects. Okay times are tough but to suggest the food security being preyed upon actively and deliberately is a conspiracy, right?

Well yes if you follow the narrative of corporate Blackrock controlled media. But that quickly becomes a no when you ignore the shallow ‘fact check’ of self-serving corporate media. Because the reality is organic or orchestrated it’s just the outcome of predatory 21st century economics and simply how the free market coupled with big data investors now roles. In 2014, the Oakland Institute found that institutional investors, including hedge funds, private equity and pension funds, were capitalizing on global farmland as a new and highly desirable asset class.  

In a similar vein Grain.org showed in September 2020 that private equity funds – pools of money that use pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, endowment funds and investments from governments, banks, insurance companies and high net worth individuals – were being injected into the agriculture sector throughout the world for the function of unmitigated speculation. This money was being used to lease or buy up farms on the cheap and aggregate them into large-scale, US-style grain and soybean concerns.

One example of this is the Ukraine where offshore tax havens and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has targeted Ukraine food stock for an outright monopoly Today particular more than 71% of arable land in the Ukraine is now owned by just ten corporations – nine subsidiaries of US Investment giant Black Rock, the tenth a state-owned Chinese conglomerate. More than 51% of wheat coming out of the Ukraine is now shown to be contaminated with Genetically contaminated seed stock.

In 2010, the farmlandgrab.org website reported how BlackRock’s global agriculture fund targeted (invested in) companies where involved with agriculture-related chemical products, genetically modified seed dispersal equipment and infrastructure, as well as holding commodities in food, biofuels, forestry, agricultural sciences and arable land. All for the purpose of securing out right food global drug and energy monopolies that would permit them to control the market and food security in both peace and war time. Clive Todhunter a research associate of the Centre for Research on Globalization writes of Black Rocks strategy that it is a system that facilitates the corporate shareholder interests well but “for vast swathes of humanity, however, economic warfare is waged on them every day courtesy of a hard-edged rock”. By the time of the February 2022 invasion World Economic Forum Chroma Kaus Schwab stated the chaos caused by the war oil and food prices would provide the Multinational corporations backed WEF an “opportunity” to “play both sides against each other”. Schwab however is not the only player out there hoping to seize opportunity from crisis.

In 2022 The United Nation’s Food Agency Organistion acknowlegd that the war waged in Yemen was intentioallly using economic warfare in addition to using conventional miltiary forces. In Ethiopia, Miramar similar allegations have being charged against those accused of genocide.

In 2022 members of the United Nations Security Council decried the use of food as a weapon of war during a food security debate initiated by the USA and its partners including Black Rock. In 2022 western media took this fact and applied it to Russia alone as it deflected blame for rising prices of food, fuel, and fertilizer on Putin, the allegation however ignored that UNFAO had already levelled the allegation that a world starvation epidemic was deliberate foreign policy by any nations including the USA that sought to weaponize hunger and by targeting food security vulnerabilities. In 2020 a staggering 2.4 billion people, or above 30 per cent of the world’s population, were moderately or severely food-insecure, lacking regular access as a result of weaponised hunger. And again, it is no conspiracy theory or a case of fake news that parties exist who seek to do this for the simple reason of wanting to make a profit.

Firms like CargoMetrics, originally founded in Boston, Massachusetts as Global Flows Inc (Initially chaired by Scott Borgeson a onetime partner to Ghiliane Maxwell Epstines partner in crime), have systematically modeling global maritime trade for more than a decade. Through in 2020 they focused primarily on investment management activities, including trading commodity futures and currency forwards based on their proprietary trading strategies for it client including client such as Dubai and the U.S. government. It uses big data to spot opportunities caused by crisis to trade for or against wherever profit is the greatest.

Geospatial technologies like remote sensing, GPS, and GIS have existed for decades, but it’s only recently that they’ve been established as important tools for the future of agriculture and, more importantly, global food security. Case in point Fergie a super cray computer used to track probable fires in New Zealand that was hacked by cybercriminal in 2014 wanting computer modeling data. Similar computers were used in Australia and California. Locations, were fire ravaged crop and food security, where in many cases. despite such modeling, fire brokers out that would be blamed on climate change.

Weather was most certainly a factor and yet it is also a fact that steps highlighted in super sophisticated computer modeling where simply ignored at a level where only incompetence or sabotage can be levelled. Case in point urban development permitted in areas where to do so was to be known to add to the fire risk. The potential of geo-spatial to feed the world gets a little bit of public coverage. Yet the role of geospatial data to barley get mentioned in comparison. This is despite a global coordinated role out of this technology in a move that is costing billions and happening simultaneously in a most nontransparent manner as government uncharacteristically act shy of their participation in the role of technology which is reportedly meant to benefit society.

Back January 6th, 2020, as Rocket Lab launched ‘Make It Rain’, from Mahi Peninsular the geoengineering focus of such technology is cited in the article ‘Orissa Cyclone — Role of Space Systems in Disaster Warnings and Mitigation Use of INSAT’. Where it was reported that the “Super-cyclone” that hit the Orissa coast on Saturday, October 29, 1999 was tracked by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) through INSAT-1D Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR) imagery and INSAT-2E CHARGED COUPLE DEVICE (CCD), which just like Auckland University of Technology’s Quake Tek (one of Rocket Lab’s geo-engineering affiliated clients), launched by Rocket Lab in 2019, is to help “societal needs“. During Orissa Remote Sensing satellites and the microwave data from the Canadian RADARSAT were used for disaster relief and rescue operations. The Geospatial mapping however was also used by India for planning post disaster agriculture and food production. For example this included the distribution of GM modified salt tolerant seed by Bayer Pharmaceuticals by UN approved agencies CARE India and Oxfam. Similar disasters caused food shortages (and famine related disease) in Africa and the Philippines after extreme weather events were exploited and used to dump genetically modified seeds owned and patented by UN corporate strategic partners Monsanto (now owned by Bayer).

Back in 2020 when the first of three satelites where launched in New Zealand I noted “Like Five Eyes members NZ USA, UK, Australia, Canada, India underwent extensive geospatial mapping during lock down which in India case was carried out by a firm named Kiwi Air. Thus The Owl is not just a surveillance tool as its corporate press release state but its also a component useful for those with a focus on economic warfare and food monopolisation.”

In April 2020 Australian aerial survey company Near map was accused of breaching lockdown rules – but it claims it had been cleared to fly. Flight records shows an Australian aircraft operated across the South Island in late March, and in Whāngārei, Tauranga and Wellington from April 3 to 5.A Cessna aircraft, owned by Handel Aviation, was also active in the skies above Hamilton despite authorities saying air surveying companies were not exempt from lock down rules according to an original Stuff article which was later taken down (but which I screen saved before hand – see link above). Nearmap’s aircraft had been operating in New Zealand since December “sporadically”, but their activity “ramped up” in the first 10 days of lockdown.  Nearmap said that it was “providing critical support services for infrastructure maintenance. This includes contracting for New Zealand government departments where images are used for the ongoing maintenance and construction of critical infrastructure, including building and construction (essential services and critical infrastructure), utilities and communications supply (maintenance and repair), and transport and logistics (rail and road)”.

Police said they had made enquiries on the flights and information was passed to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) who “were taking the lead in this case”. When asked what action MBIE will take over Nearmap’s flights, MBIE adviser Duard Ferreira​ said the Ministry of Transport was “best placed” to answer this query. ​In a separate article Nearmap altered their statement saying it is operating “as part of the essential business services supply chain in New Zealand” and is helping the Government with a coronavirus relief planning. Stuff said it was “working to verify those claims”. No follow up article on those claims has been published to date. Stuff using flight tracker stated, “the aircraft could be seen to have been in Nelson, Wanaka, and Dunedin last week, and in Whangarei, Tauranga and Wellington from April 3 to April 5.”  Stuff stated a “police spokeswoman said alert level four restrictions applied to all businesses and individuals not considered essential, including overseas companies working here. The rules apply to everyone “operating in New Zealand”, she said. “These restrictions are in place to save lives – everyone has to play their part and stay in their bubble”.

The company says it doing the mapping for Covid 19 planning and relief. Yet a check of local Dunedin newspapers showed that in 2016 a Lear jet flying at 20,000ft, left for Christchutch after completing 19 sweeps over Dunedin city and the Clutha district. For several hours from mid-morning, the plane flew over the area in a recurring north-south pattern moving gradually west. The jet belonged to ExecuJet Aerospace Technologies who said they were conducting an aerial survey for an unidentified company. ExecuJet is an international business aviation company headquartered at Zurich Airport, Switzerland. ExecuJet has facilities operating in six regions worldwide – Africa, Asia Pacific, Caribbean, Europe, Latin America and the Middle East. Spokesmen from Land Information New Zealand and the Otago Regional Council, which both undertake surveys occasionally for map-making, said the jet was not doing work for them. ExecuJet, who manages private jets confirmed the jet was doing aerial mapping work, but declined to say to whom it belonged or for which company the work was being done.

So who is Nearmap Limited?

Public data shows its an Australian aerial imagery technology and location data company that provides frequently-updated, high-resolution aerial imagery of 88% of Australia’s population, 68% of the United States population, and 72% of the New Zealand population. With 90 million parcels globally, processed through its AI engine, it is providing government with something “that nobody’s been able to achieve at scale like we have,” said Nearmap’s CEO, Rob Newman in the companies press release. Newman stated a government could say, “Give me a listing of every swimming pool in my county,’ they click the button, and it exports out immediately to them a complete listing by address, where all the swimming pools are in that county.” Since March 29 2020, the aerial imagery technology and location data company’s shares have jumped 123% they are expected to go higher. The firm is a subsidy of Ipernia share market registered firm whose ownership is unclear as it has little online presence.

To find the client you have to visit the Hawkesbay where in January 2020 the Hawkes bay Council hired aviation services Aerologistic to conduct water mapping with aid of Lincoln Agritech and SkyTEM Australia . The Government of Western Australia – Department of Water has also commissioned SkyTEM Australia to conduct an airborne electromagnetic mapped Australia water reservoir.

The survey is part of the Hawkes Bay Aerial surveying of Hawke’s Bay begun as part of a regional collaboration between five councils who using LiDAR (Light Detecting and Ranging) technology are mapping the region where geographic data will be collected to create detailed 3D maps and models of the region’s landscape and resources. The regional council will be running the project as part of a national LiDAR programme When the initiative is complete, New Zealand’s total LiDAR coverage will increase to about 80 per cent, from 10 per cent currently.

The flying finished in May June 2020, with the final results expected in March 2021. Lidar will be used to assess where funding for development may be spent and is financed by The Provincial Growth Fund provided by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Land Information New Zealand and local councils. Spatial mapping contracts for the mass data collected were announced in June and “snapped up” by defence energy and geospatial giants iXblue and Woolpert who are based in US & Dubai and who formed their strategic partnership in 2019 in anticipation of this global 2020 project conducted largely during lock down in blantant secrecy.

Over the lock down period I reported on numerous planes and boats owned by offshore billionaire investors associated with a plethora of market speculators all wanting to cash in on Covid 19 and the chaos it caused in the market. I noted Saudi, Chinese, American Tech lords, data miners, biotech entrepreneurs who have visited New Zealand (during lock down) with a ‘vision of tomorrow’ whether we want it or not. We certainly have not being asked or consulted and this is would prove to be more of the same.

Big plans done on the sly as food and democratic security get specfically attacked in a well cordinated and well documeneted form of asymetrical economic warfare also some times knowns as silent war fare. Silent warfare so called becuase it is a form of economic warfare which proves to be at it most deadliest when its intended target, the general populace, remain ignorant that they are being waged war on.
