Speaking to Historian Paul Moon he rejects US acknowledging 1834/35

Im not actually sure what incorrect as it seems yes US officials were aware of 1835 and first US Consuls addressed United Chiefs …he sadly failed to address the issue of 1835 been gazetted and circulated upon Admirality.

The 21 guns is also used exclusively for ships entering foreing port of foreign dignataries or heads of state.



Clendon’s signature appears on the 1835 Declaration of Independence for the Confederation of United Chiefs. One could say that British Resident Busby, Head CMS Missionary Williams and U.S. Consul Clendon formed a confederation of their own and supported each other during the drafting and implementation of two major New Zealand founding documents in 1835 and 1840.

US Captain Charles Wilkes who attended 1840 Treaty of Waitangi also acknowledge the 1834 declaration and conducted extensive interview on the issue and declared that 1835 was why England had to sign the treaty as had already recognized Maori sovereignty with 1835. — Project Gutenberg

On April 3, 1840, James Reddy Clendon, who was both an early U.S. Consul and one of the European signatories of the original Declaration, provided Wilkes with vital official documents. [1]

Clendon handed Wilkes a “back-translation” (from Māori back to English) of the Declaration of Independence. Wilkes included these records in his official expedition dispatches back to the U.S. government. [1, 2]

When Commodore Charles Wilkes arrived in New Zealand with the U.S. Exploring Expedition in March 1840, he sought independent confirmation of the geopolitical situation. Clendon supplied Wilkes with a duplicate copy of this exact text. Wilkes forwarded it to Washington in his official “Despatch No. 64,” providing the U.S. government with verified, military-grade intelligence that mirrored the Consul’s diplomatic reports.

When Clendon finally established the Consulate of the United States of America at the Bay of Islands, he used the term “United Tribes of New Zealand” in his official dispatches to Washington D.C.. He used this terminology to describe the sovereign territory he was stationed in, but his actual letters were outbound records to the U.S. Secretary of State, not localized addresses to the chiefs themselves. [1, 2]

Moon also seems to suggest the United trbes had no officla recogniton back in England and did not seem aware the declaration was cited in gazetted admitality records disptached to the fleet.

This copy of the United Tribes’ flag was made from a plate in a book of flags published in 1845 and held by the British Admiralty library in London. This version has a white rather than black border around the smaller St George’s cross, but the stars are eight-pointed, as on the original flag.


Alexander Turnbull Library, James Laurenson Collection Reference: MS-Papers-0009-09-01


‘He Whakaputanga – The Declaration of Independence’ “new flag was then sent back to New South Wales for passage to King William IV. The King approved the flag, and a drawing of it was circulated through the Admiralty with instructions to recognise it as New Zealand’s flag. It came to be known as the Flag of the United Tribes of New Zealand in recognition of the title used by the same chiefs when they met again”.


The US were most certainly aware of 1834 and so were the admirality

TERMINATOR MEETS BATTLE FOR NEW YORK – THE NEXT 911 ?

“Drones are not tomorrow’s weapons of mass destruction. They’re here today, and the technology required to fashion such a device is only getting cheaper, smarter and more accessible… With the explosion of this seemingly innocent innovation has come a rise in nefarious usage… described as ‘an emergent threat’.” — U.S. Military Official via Newsweek Report, Could the Next 9/11 Be Caused by Drones?

“It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead!” – The chilling description of the Terminator, spoken by Kyle Reese

Who’s into opposing a moratorium on killer autonomous drones?? Bet, you have guest the answer already or at least three of the nations e.g., four of the most ruthless nations. Correct. The US, the UK, Russia, and ….er…Australia disagreed. (Ukraine hadn’t gotten into drones at that time.)

The US is developing flying killer robots called “Goalkeeper” and jet ski-style killer robots called “Whiplash.” Both are AI-powered and have the power and ability to destroy humans of their own choosing.

In February this year, Anthropic, one of the world’s top AI companies, told the US government that it did not want its tech to be used for autonomous weapons that kill humans. The US Department of War immediately blacklisted Anthropic—and found an alternative partner, OpenAI, on the very same day. Here is Shipping New on AI autonomous drones, which come as a wave of missing military scientists and whistleblowers all increasingly raise the issue of AI drones gone rogue and or psychopatic elite who would stand to gain finacially from such chaos in terms of acumulating wealth and power.

The real-world integration of military AI and autonomous weaponry has accelerated dramatically, drawing direct public comparisons to fictional automated threat elimination such as the automated mass-surveillance and targeted-assassination program in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the “Battle of New York”—the pivotal 2012 alien invasion where the Avengers (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, and Hawkeye) defended Midtown Manhattan from Loki and the Chitauri drone army.

Fiction is accurately predicting the global rush toward lethal autonomous weapons systems (LAWS) and the absene of regulatory friction surrounding them.

Elon Musk and President Donald Trump have in the past few years fundamentally reshaped U.S. military policy around autonomous warfare, utilizing AI-driven “killer” drone swarms as a cornerstone of national defense and frontline engagement. Musk’s companies, including SpaceX and AI, have entered a secret race to secure classified Pentagon contracts under the U.S. Special Operations Command. The goal is to develop autonomous drone swarm technology capable of executing “fire-and-forget” lethal missions. This development highlights a major policy reversal for Musk, who previously campaigned heavily against autonomous killer robot.

The Ukraine Autonomous Drone Disclosures

• Operational Reality: On battlefields like Ukraine, heavy electronic warfare and signal jamming routinely sever radio connections between human operators and drones. To bypass this, developers have integrated computer vision algorithms directly into the edge processors of “one-way attack drones” (loitering munitions). [1]
  
• Shift from Vehicles to Infantry: While AI targeting was initially restricted to heavy equipment like tanks or artillery via automated thermal/shape recognition, these systems have been scaled to identify and execute strikes on individual human combatants without a “human-in-the-loop” to clear the shot. [1]
  
• ‘CLEARLY VISIBLE CORPSES’—”We just launch it and we know everything will be dead—everything that will be found there in this particular area will be dead,” drone-maker Alexander Kokhanovskyy told the publication. “There is no connection to the drone at all; you cannot see the video, nothing… Everything it sees will be killed.” Afterwards, the Ukrainians sent regular drones—fitted with cameras and piloted by humans—into the same area to see if the AI had killed people. It had. There were clearly visible corpses and a disabled truck.
  
• Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS), colloquially called “killer drones,” are unmanned aerial vehicles designed to independently search for, track, and execute lethal strikes on targets based on programmed algorithms and sensory data—bypassing the need for direct human intervention.
  

The Anthropic Blacklisting and OpenAI Partnership are marching to a weaponized robotic future. The scenario regarding the U.S. Department of Defense and major AI labs unfolded directly in February 2026. [1]

• The Stand-Off: Anthropic refused the Pentagon’s demands to remove strict contractual prohibitions against using its technology (such as its Claude language models) for fully autonomous lethal operations and domestic mass surveillance. Anthropic maintained that current frontier models are too unreliable for autonomous lethal applications. [1, 2]
  
• The Penalty: The Trump administration designated Anthropic a “supply chain risk” and ordered all federal agencies to cease using its tech. [1, 2]
  
• The Alternate Deal: Within hours of sidelining Anthropic, the Pentagon finalized a massive deployment contract with OpenAI. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman defended the partnership, asserting that technical safeguards are in place, though critics highlight that the contract grants the military sweeping flexibility for defense integration. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Sam Altman has been a featured participant at the secretive, elite Bilderberg Meetings in 2016, 2022, and 2023. 2023 meeting was stacked heavy with robotics and AI oligarchs and NATO personnel. Altman attended the invitation-only conferences alongside top political figures, intelligence directors, and tech executives to discuss major global issues—primarily focusing on the future and issues of regulation surrounding artificial intelligence.

Global Policy and Future Weapons

International efforts to establish binding treaties against “killer robots” have repeatedly stalled at the United Nations. Major powers advancing autonomous drone technology—including the U.S., the UK, and Russia, Australia —have consistently opposed strict bans. They argue that autonomous systems are necessary to fight in “contested environments” where communications are completely blocked, or to counter rapid drone swarm tactics deployed by adversaries like China.

A U.S. F-15 fighter pilot shot down over Iran described seeing an interconnected swarm of Iranian drones moving as a single body, which he called “real alien s*”.** [1, 2]

The allegations of the unnamed pilot shotdown over Iran comes after weeks of numerous reports casting scepticism on the Trump ever changing story of the down ‘hero’. Which came along side report of US trying to obtain uranium samples from Iran that could later be used to finger print an ‘Iranian’ attack.

According to a June 2026 report initially published by CNN, the incident occurred during a conflict in April. The pilot recalled seeing multiple drones hovering and moving together in a highly coordinated, multi-tiered structure that resembled a jellyfish, featuring smaller drones suspended beneath larger ones like hanging legs. [1, 2, 3]

Meshed Networking: Military analysts reviewed by The Times of India suggest the sight could point to advanced “one-to-many meshed networking”. This technology allows a single operator or program to control an integrated drone swarm collectively. [1, 2]

THE DRONE WHISTLE BLOWER

Iran not the only place drone swarms claims have been raised.

The driver who blew up a rented Tesla Cybertruck outside the Las Vegas Trump International Hotel on New Year’s Day 2025—identified as 37-year-old Matthew Livelsberger, an active-duty Army Green Beret 10th Special Forces Group—left behind a digital manifesto containing bizarre claims that he was under surveillance because of his knowledge of advanced covert military technologies and Chinese drones launched from submarines. Police records and obtained documents revealed that before driving from Colorado where he had being stationed to Las Vegas, Livelsberger where he had actively planned to meet with a Navy SEAL to purchase military-grade drones on the black market.

Days before the explosion, Livelsberger his manifesto to retired U.S. Army intelligence officer Sam Shoemate. Shoemate, along with popular military podcaster Shawn Ryan, posted portions of these messages on X (formerly Twitter) and discussed them publicly. The manifesto contained Livelsberger’s claims of being heavily tracked and his own emails been hacked. The Gateway Pundit also suggesting Livelsberger didn’t write all the message or sections had being altered. The FBI under Trump reign dismissed the claims.

The 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) completed an Fort Carsons Colorado to integrate next-generation small unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into large-scale combat operations. Led by instructors from the 4th Battalion, 10th SFG (A), the course ran alongside the 4th Infantry Division. The United States military, including U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and operators tied to installations like Colorado’s Fort Carson, is aggressively integrating AI-powered kamikaze drones and hive-mind swarming capabilities . These autonomous systems use advanced software to locate, track, and engage targets with minimal human intervention. Colorado’s [Fort Carson] serves as a primary tactical proving ground for integrating AI-enabled and attritable drone hardware into frontline units

Black Swift Technologies: Based in Boulder Colorado, specialises in custom autopilot hardware and machine-learning software. They design unmanned systems capable of autonomous navigation in high-stress, dangerous environments

The mystery of Colorado’s drone and UFO swarms remains officially unsolved, as multiple task forces and federal investigations have concluded without identifying a definitive operator. The skies over Colorado have been the epicenter of high-profile, unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) across two major operational waves—primarily the massive rural grid-flying wave in winter 2019–2020 and subsequent localized flare-ups extending into late 2024 and mid-2026.

The Sightings: Hundreds of residents and law enforcement officers across northeastern Colorado (and parts of Nebraska) reported synchronized formations of large, silent aircraft. [1, 2]

Behavior: The craft moved in precise grid-like search patterns, flying in groups of 6 to 19 vehicles at a time. They emerged consistently between 6:00 PM and 10:00 PM. [1, 2]

Physical Attributes: Witnesses described them as possessing high-speed capabilities (estimated up to 100 mph), carrying bright flashing lights, and having wing spans up to six feet across.

Official Denials: The U.S. Air Force, DARPA, the DEA, and the U.S. Army Forces Command explicitly denied any involvement or testing in the area. The FAA’s investigation ultimately closed with no conclusive answer.

Winter 2024: Fresh waves of low-flying, erratic drones sparked community concern in cities like Aurora and Elizabeth, Colorado. Witnesses observed single bright lights or strange configurations of lights that flew very low to the ground, stopped, and accelerated at extreme speeds. [1]

Spring 2026: A rash of illegal drone sightings was reported hovering directly inside restricted airspace during the Colorado Rockies’ early-season homestands.

June 2026 Cheyenne Mountain Incident: Beyond standard drone mechanics, military personnel at the ultra-secure Cheyenne Mountain, the setting for the fictional Stargate, complex reported an entirely bizarre, non-drone UFO/UAP sighting. Five soldiers documented a strange, “potato-shaped” craft with articulating, fish-scale-like surfaces moving through the airspace.

The 2024 New Jersey Drone Mystery

• The Incident: Late in 2024, residents and local law enforcement across multiple New Jersey counties reported massive, quiet, “car-sized” drones flying in V-formations at night. The sightings occurred over sensitive infrastructure, including the Picatinny Arsenal military base and Donald Trump’s Bedminster golf course, sparking local panic and widespread conspiracy theories. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
  
• The Resolution: In early 2025, the White House and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officially clarified that the aircraft were fully authorized flights conducted for research and law enforcement tracking. A later industry report in late 2025 revealed that an aerospace company had been conducting capability testing of a large, 20-foot, four-winged autonomous aerial craft over the state. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

MONKEY MONEY & KILLER ROBOTS.

“We are all just monkeys with money and guns” Tom Waites Blood Money 2002.

“I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but Worls War IV will be fought with sticks and stones” Albert Eisntein

So we now were talking about 6G to cook our brains silly and suck up finite energy while we build very carbon-unfriendly AI databases and consume massive amounts of raw material, all while polluting our waterways. So much for the UN’s 17 goals of sustainability. That’s a special kind of stupid. At the beginning of the 1849 gold rush, the majority of weapons were single-barreled, muzzle-loaded black-powder firearms that, for the most part, hadn’t changed since the 1500s, when firearms began to become portable.

By the end of the Civil War, 30 years later, shell-loaded revolvers and breech-loaded carbines had pretty much stopped evolving until another 50 years, when the Colt 1911. 45 came with a magazine, and belt-fed machine guns kicked in.

Ironically, handheld arms haven’t really changed a lot with the exception of assault rifles and weapons with faster velocity and larger calibers due to the leaps and bounds made by heavy weapons, artillery, armored vehicles, aircraft, and now AI-powered weapons of unbelievable firepower.

But here’s the thing: as these weapons have increased in firepower, their efficiency has plummeted and the amount of rsources they consumed have sky rocketed.

Back when I was a kid, even before I was an army reservist in artillery intelligence (call sign ‘General Baldrick’ in deference to the turnip-loving sidekick of Rowan Atkinson’s Black Adder), I could rattle off the ratio of rounds per fatality. That, however, is one of the things that got deleted from my RAM as it filled up with other useless data over the years.

However I can still see the red bowling pins that represent actual kills and the black pins that represent resources used. The musket was basically one red pin and a big patch of nothing filled the rest of the football field. By the time of Vietnam, you had a few red pins and a football field of solid black, representing modern small arms and light support weapons. And as soon as you got into things like fighter jets, you started to see football fields, plural, but the kill ratio barely moved and so on and so on.

Once we fought wars to gain precious metals. Now we fight wars so we have the metals to fight more wars. It’s all so retarded. Seriously, this is the best we can do in the 21st century with our know-how and technology? We’re heading fast to a backward variant of neo-feudalism for the simple reason that the few expects the many to live with nothing because they cant possibly live with less?

In fact it’s worse than that.

At least in feudal times the Baldricks could rely on their lords leading from the front. Now we are ruled by men-children who are so sad they pay others to cheat for them on fictional video games; such is their disconnect with reality. We are just monkeys wasting money on killer robots and AI. Modern technology risk blowing us right back to the stone age.

Epstein Downunder 2.0 – Follow The Money Honey.

Public scrutiny over the past several years has revealed that many initial dismissals of systemic abuse claims were premature. The timeline below connects the entities, investigations, and financial trails mentioned: For example Australian Jacqueline Pearce claims banks were helping bikers and child trafficking rings in Australia where widely written off by many Epstein researchers. And yet hindsight has highlighted many of her claims do in fact repeat what we now know was in fact occuring; interms of bitcoin scams link to Australian bikers, narco traffickers and the role of mainstream banks in Australia played in permitting such fraud to occur in relation to child exploitation and narco trafficking.

1. The Jeffrey Epstein & Brock Pierce Links

• Cryptocurrency Connections: Department of Justice documents and leaked email troves show that Jeffrey Epstein’s involvement in cryptocurrency went significantly deeper than previously acknowledged by industry publicists. [1, 2]
  
• The Coinbase Funding: In 2015, Epstein utilized his connection with Brock Pierce to coordinate a secret $3 million investment into Coinbase’s Series C funding round. A trust linked to Epstein later flipped this equity to Blockchain Capital in 2018 for a recorded $15 million payout. [1, 2]
  
• Personal Interactions: While Pierce’s public relations teams initially claimed his interaction with Epstein was limited to occasional industry networking events, unsealed records reveal that the two frequently exchanged personal and financial advice. Emails show Epstein attempting to orchestrate a visa arrangement and proposing that Pierce marry Epstein’s personal assistant to resolve her immigration status. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  
  2. The Digital Entertainment Network (DEN) Cases
  
• Core Entities: Marc Collins-Rector, Chad Shackley, and Brock Pierce. [1]
  
• Historical Facts: In the late 1990s, Collins-Rector and Shackley founded the internet startup Digital Entertainment Network (DEN). Pierce, a former Disney child actor, was brought in as a minor stakeholder and executive. [1, 2, 3, 4]
  
• The Legal Outcomes: The company collapsed right before its planned $50+ million IPO in 2000 when multiple former underage employees filed civil lawsuits alleging sexual abuse, drugging, and death threats. The plaintiffs won a $4.5-million default judgment in Los Angeles County Superior Court after the founders failed to respond to the charges. [1, 2, 3]
  
• The Spanish Arrests: In 2002, Interpol arrested Collins-Rector, Shackley, and Pierce at a villa in Marbella, Spain. Spanish police discovered unlicensed weapons and child pornography on the premises. Pierce and Shackley were released without criminal charges. Collins-Rector fought extradition but eventually returned to the U.S., where he pleaded guilty to felony charges of child enticement and luring minors. He was ordered to register as a lifetime sex offender. [1, 2]

3. Production Context: Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Amy Berg, the 2014 documentary An Open Secret exposes a systemic architecture of sexual abuse, manipulation, and exploitation targeting young male actors in Hollywood.

Focus on DEN: A substantial portion of the film explicitly details the drug-fueled pool parties and underage grooming pipelines operated out of the Encino mansion owned by Collins-Rector and Shackley during the height of DEN’s funding boom.

Distribution Suppression: Despite critical acclaim and a high Rotten Tomatoes score, the film faced severe distribution suppression, legal threats from Hollywood talent management circles, and internal friction. It was ultimately released independently via streaming video platforms. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

4. The Westpac Regulatory Breaches

• Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase made a much-anticipated debut as a public company, former Westpac chief executive Brian Hartzer was said tp be pleased. Through its venture capital fund Reinventure, Westpac windfall? An  estimated at up to $300 million, from its 2015 investment in Coinbase, listed on the NASDAQ on Thursday, Australian time. Reinventure bought the minority stake in 2015, a move Hartzer describes as “pretty prescient.”
  
• The AUSTRAC Penalty: In 2019–2020, Australia’s second-largest bank, Westpac, was hit with a record $1.3 billion AUD fine after the financial intelligence regulator, AUSTRAC, uncovered over 23 million systemic anti-money laundering law violations. [1, 2]
  
• The Child Exploitation Vulnerability: A critical component of the prosecution proved that Westpac management deliberately “batched” low-cost international fund transfers through a program called Light Pay to save money, bypass individual SWIFT validation protocols, and avoid mandatory reporting requirements This allowed a dozen customers to send funds to Southeast Asia (predominantly the Philippines) to pay for the live-streaming of child sexual abuse and human trafficking. One customer was a convicted child sex offender whose account remained unmonitore[1, 2]
  
• The Executive Fallout: The automated batching process allowed high-risk entities to funnel capital to international locations notorious for child tourism. AUSTRAC explicitly identified 12 repeat customers using these unmonitored systems to systematically fund child exploitation rings in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. The resulting scandal forced the immediate resignations of Westpac’s CEO Brian Hartzer and Chairman Lindsay Maxsted. [1, 2, 3]
  
• Parallel to the Westpac revelations, police forces in Australia and New Zealand executed targeted operations (such as Operation Nova) targeting the Comanchero motorcycle gang for laundering millions in drug money through mainstream financial and professional services channels using it coin.

Separating Fact from Conspiracy Narratives When looking at internet theories linking these cases to Pizzagate, the Podesta emails, or the Madeleine McCann case, it is essential to distinguish between substantiated corporate/criminal records and speculative networks. That said where there is smoke there also a tendency for their to be fire, as the the above case studies show which also support many of Pearce’s key claims.

Maritime Union of New Zealand (MUNZ) National Secretary Carl Findlay says while the port unions respect iwi aspirations, the choice of global logistics giant DP World as a partner introduces severe risks. He says an operational lease of this nature amounts to privatisation by another name. “We have absolute respect for local rūnanga, but the inclusion of DP World raises serious concerns for workers, ratepayers, and democratic accountability,” says Mr Findlay.

DU weapons depot hit in Kyiev contamination city wide. We just witnessed a dirty bomb thanks to weapons that shouldn’t be there. Claims linked back to former MP Ihor Mosiyichuk. 25 October 2017 a bomb went off near the car of Mosiyichuk, 3 people were wounded and 2 died. Mosiychuk’s bodyguard and a passer-by died in a hospital on 26 October due to the wounds.

Ukrainian authorities and independent monitoring networks claim they recorded no radiation contamination nor any indication of uranium munitions detonating. Western media have called the claims fake citing Ukrainian offical sources.

Interestingly the dont deny the deployment of DU to the Ukraine.  Ihor Mosiyichuk, who has lived outside Ukraine since 2022 and was placed on the National Security and Defense Council sanctions list in May 2025.

The UK became the first nation to supply DU rounds to Ukraine. They sent 120mm armor-piercing shells in 2023. Following the UK’s lead, the Biden administration authorized 120mm depleted uranium rounds. The location of these shells remains classified.

NORDSTREAM GERMANY BLAMES UKRAINE.

The Nordstream pipeline sabotage was a highly coordinated underwater bombing on 26 September 2022 that destroyed three out of four lines of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea. Western media, relying on US sources, blamed Russia. American journalist Seymour Hersh’s blamed Washington.

Berlin has indicted a former Ukrainian soldier over the blasts and says he was working on behalf of Ukrainian entities. Berlin believes the blasts were ordered by Ukrainian state entities whom it has not specified. Insurers of the Nord Stream pipelines don’t have to pay €580 million ($662 million) after a judge ruled that the sabotage of the pipes bringing Russian gas into Europe was the consequence of the war in Ukraine. The London court, overseeing the insurance court case heard from experts including a former US Navy Special Operations Officer and an explosives consultant. Ukraine was considered a likely potential perpetrator by both sides of the court case. Ukraine denies the attack but has offered to join the german investigation as a joint investigator.

Investigations by Sweden and Denmalk drew inconclusive results.

EUROPEAN ELVES SAY NO PALANTIR ALL SEEING EYE.

UK: The NHS’s £330 million Federated Data Platform contract with Palantir is under formal review ahead of a contractual breakpoint, with cross-party MPs urging the government to terminate it. London Mayor Sadiq Khan also initially blocked a separate £50 million Metropolitan Police contract but subsequently approved a temporary extension for misconduct tracking. Conversely, the UK Ministry of Defence awarded the company a new £241 million software contract. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

France: French intelligence agencies and the government have cut ties with Palantir, shifting to domestic tech providers like ChapsVision and Mistral AI in an effort to maintain technological sovereignty. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Germany: Germany’s domestic intelligence agency and the German military have backed away from the firm, reportedly opting for alternative providers. [1, 2, 3]

Switzerland: The Swiss federal government ended its analytics contract with Palantir over concerns surrounding data sovereignty and potential foreign intelligence access. [1]

United States & Defense: The U.S. Department of Defense and other intelligence agencies continue to award major funding to the company, including a $795 million contract expansion for battlespace awareness software. [1]

Australia: Palantir continues its work with the Australian Defence Force and other government bodies. [1]

NATO Summit in Ankara? A new bank for the super villains bloody money.

At the 2026 NATO Summit held in Ankara, Turkey, a major initiative called the Defence, Security and Resilience Bank (DSRB)— dubbed the “NATO bank”—was officially launched. [1, 2]

The primary objective of this new multilateral financial institution is to address severe funding shortages by unlocking up to $134 billion in capital to finance Western rearmament, scale up military manufacturing, and streamline joint weapons procurement. The DSRB is projected to begin formal operations by 2027 Major private banking giants—including JPMorgan, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, and Citi—have backed the wider push, already mobilising $217 billion for allied defence and security.

TAYLOR SWIFT GIVES TO THE RICH WHILE HAVING A SLAP UP 50 MIL WEDDING

And in this Week’s Parazzi News (Charity my ass) & Weapons of Mass Distraction.

Super Influencer and entertainer Taylor Swift allegedly donated allegedly 26 millon ahead of a wedding that cost 20- 50 million US. As other took the reports ast face value I wondered if it might be just PR.

I was thinking when I thought that cynical thought of the Robin Foundation which links to P Diddy good pal, Jeffrey Epstein and Jacinda Ardern. We never did get the name of that NY soup kitchen she allegedly worked in – thats often cited but never named. But John Griffin Robinhood founder offered Ardern his NZ mansion to get married in 2020. While it’s other cooffender, I mean cofounder Glen Dublin is an Epstein co-offender along with Donors Bill Gates and Kiwi US citizen Larry Page of Google Robin Hood is the only charity who funds tax break advocacy for the rich. Motto should be robbing poverty to pay for the rich opulent lifestyles.

And yes Taylor did choose RHF, as one of her key donors.

Making me want to see the full list of reciepentant. So as to map the interconnectivity of the rest of her charities. Celebrity popular charities like RHF routinely donate to each other in a round robin clicking tax rebates and offsetting personal income tax expenditure (such as a 20-50 million dollar display of gluttony) to reduce tax. The Robin Hood Foundation has frequently faced public scrutiny for its historical associations with disgraced figures like Harvey Weinstein, who served on its board of directors and co-chaired its annual benefit before resigning in 2017 amid sexual abuse allegations. [1, 2]

Charity evaluator GiveWell criticized the organization for a lack of transparency while internal evaluations of grantee performance are largely kept confidential, raising questions among smaller donors about the independent measurement of the charity’s effectiveness. [1, 2]

Robin Hood is also heavily financed by Wall Street executives, hedge fund managers, and the ultra-wealthy. Because of this, groups like Hedge Clippers have criticized the organization for promoting a charity model that allegedly provides wealthy donors with vast tax write-offs while failing to address systemic economic inequality. [1, 2] The charity often wades into political debates over its anti-poverty agenda, condemning legislation that cuts social services and tax benefits for the poor, which sometimes puts them at odds with the political leanings of its own billionaire benefactors. [1]

RHF faced further heavy public scrutiny due to the deep personal and professional connections between sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and several of the charity’s most prominent co-founders and board members.

Epstein himself was not an official board member, however his network heavily intersected with the leadership of the New York anti-poverty charity. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Billionaire hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, who co-founded Robin Hood alongside Paul Tudor Jones, had a multi-decade relationship with Epstein. [1, 2] Epstein dated Dubin’s wife, Eva Andersson-Dubin, for several years before her marriage and was the godfather to the Dubins’ children. Epstein invested millions into Dubin’s hedge fund, Highbridge Capital.

Former JPMorgan executive and Barclays CEO Jes Staley, who served extensively on the Robin Hood Foundation Emeritus Board, was a close associate of Epstein. [1]

• Staley acted as Epstein’s primary private banker at JPMorgan for over a decade. [1]
• Epstein directly introduced Staley to Glenn Dubin. This introduction brokered JPMorgan’s lucrative $1 billion acquisition of Highbridge Capital, earning Epstein a massive $10 million finder’s fee. [1]
• Despite stepping down from Barclays in late 2021 over an investigation into his relationship with Epstein, Staley initially clung to his seat on the charity’s advisory board, sparking intense internal and external criticism for the foundation.
• Paul Tudor Jones (Co-Founder) was also linked to financial dealings involving Epstein. Unsealed documents and uncorrected records from 2025 revealed that a hedge fund managed by Jones’ investment group allegedly received millions of dollars from Epstein prior to Epstein’s death in 2019. [1, 2]

MKULTRA – THE ‘CIA’ PSYOPS CONTINUES…in more ways than you think.

MKUltra was a top-secret, illegal human experimentation program run by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA from 1953 until roughly 1973 wen it was exposed. The covert project aimed to identify and develop drugs and psychological procedures to achieve complete mind control, alter brain function, and force information extraction during interrogation.

In July 2026, the U.S. House Oversight Committee re-opened hearings specifically targeting MKUltra transparency. Led by Representative Anna Paulina Luna, the task force is actively pressing the intelligence community to declassify newly discovered historical files. The inquiry also aims to investigate historical foreign torture locations—such as a CIA safehouse in Germany—to bring long-overdue accountability and acknowledgment to surviving families.

At this point the psyop continued with multiple claims that the 2026 report showed the “CIA” were still running MK Ultra. A clever bit of slight hand. No such claim was made but the Qanon style allegation gloss over a more important detail MK Ultra was never a CIA sole run operation Rather it was a joint service taskforce.The 1970s probe only examined the CIA. So of course it never stopped. During the June 2026 House Oversight Committee hearing, lawmakers and expert witnesses confirmed extensive historical overlap between the CIA, the military, and public health sectors. Task Force Chairwoman Anna Paulina Luna raised allegations that the CIA had improperly pulled or restricted relevant MKUltra documents from the ODNI’s database to prevent congressional review. [1, 2] The 2026 task force used these examples to argue that document destruction from the 1970s did not just erase CIA history, but actively corrupted the historical records of multiple branches of the U.S. government. [1]

The committee highlighted how the CIA transitioned from MKUltra into newly exposed, subsequent investigations during the late 1970s and 1980s. A main example discussed was “Project Medication”, in which federal agencies assessed the interrogation-ready capabilities of modern amnesiac drugs like Versed. [1, 2] Witness testimony tracked the career of key MKUltra scientists—such as Dr. Louis Jolyon “Jolly” West—proving that they continued receiving massive federal funding for behavioral modification and drug research well into the late 1970s and 1980s.. [1, 2] The 26 hearings heavily suggested that US federal agencies merely reorganised these projects into deeper, still-classified compartments. [1]

ROTHSCHILD PROBE EXPANDS

In a landmark 2025 ruling, Edmond de Rothschild Europe became the first bank ever to be convicted of money laundering in Luxembourg. The Swiss private bank agreed to pay a €25 million fine to settle criminal charges related to the 1MDB sovereign wealth fund, after failing to execute proper anti-money laundering checks on hundreds of millions of dollars deposited between 2009 and 2013. [1, 2] Rothschild presence in the region’s financial sector continues to expand, with Rothschild & Co having launched a dedicated private banking branch in the country to bolster European wealth management operation.

French financial prosecutors in May 2026 raided the Paris offices of Swiss private bank Edmond de Rothschild as part of a corruption and tax fraud investigation tied to the Jeffrey Epstein files. The preliminary inquiry centers on a former diplomat who allegedly provided confidential U.N. briefings to Epstei


MORE GLADIO/NATO NATIONS UNDER GO VIP CORRUPTION & ILLEGAL SPYING PROBES.

Spain’s joings a growing list of NATO/Palantir countries including London City, France, Cypress, Turkey, Cyprus where state funded corruption and illegal spying is being hunted down at the higest levels. The most latest controversy centered on the Socialist Party (PSOE) and Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. [1, 2]

Government and Political Scandals:

• Begoña Gómez (PM’s Wife): Gómez is ordered to stand trial on corruption and influence-peddling charges, with a judge banning her from leaving the country over concerns she might attempt to flee justice. [1]
  
• José Luis Ábalos (Former Minister): The former transport minister and Sánchez’s close former aide was sentenced to 24 years in prison for running a network that took massive kickbacks on public contracts during the Covid-19 pandemic. [1]
  
• PSOE Headquarters Raid: Police raided the Socialist Party’s central offices regarding an alleged “clean-up” operation to intimidate judicial officials investigating the Prime Minister’s inner circle. [1, 2]
  
• David Sánchez (PM’s Brother): He is undergoing a judicial probe regarding influence-peddling related to his public sector appointment. [1]

Corporate and Financial Corruption:

• The BBVA Trial: Spain’s High Court ordered the nation’s second-largest bank, BBVA, and its former chairman, Francisco Gonzalez, to stand trial for alleged bribery and corporate espionage. The bank is accused of hiring a private intelligence firm run by a disgraced former police commissioner to conduct illegal assignments and spying. [1]

Prime Minister Sánchez denies personal involvement in any graft cases and vows to remain in power. You can read more about the political and judicial fallout in the BBC News Coverage. [1, 2]

REWRITING HISTORY ON ROD DONALDS VIEW ON 1080.

Green Party continues to pretend it former leader Rod Donald wasnt aginst 1080 and there not alternative but 1080.

A. This a false narrative which I expose when asking AI to give a case where Rod explicitly endorsed 1080 ( which was it’s first claim) and it couldn’t.

B. Then offered empirical examples of Rod alternative which worked as Banks Peninsula acknowledges in its own bio they include;

Extensive Trapping Networks: Utilising ground traps (like DOC200s and Timms traps) combined with self-resetting traps (such as Goodnature A24s) to target possums, rats, and stoats. [1]

Selective Toxins: Ground-applied, targeted toxins such as cyanide, Feracol paste, and No Possum gel. [1]

Surveillance Technology: Using camera monitoring paired with long-life lure dispensers (MotoLures) to track and manage remaining pest populations without broad-scale poisoning. [1]

Monetising pest for green sustainable economies: including fur, pet meat and supporting New Zealan food security independence.

I knew Rod reasonably well. I see the removal of his beliefs about their being alternative (and now the denial he had those ideas) and denial his famous possum seat warmer existed as part of corporate mission creep he explicitly warned against.

Make no mistake the same financial interest linked to dairy lies about nitrate, Tiwai dross as fertilizer, Ravensdown toxic behaviour are very much involved in 1080 cash cow. Institute like Cawthorne who endorse 1080 have many of the same name as directors or patrons eg Nick Smith. Everlooked at the corporate money trail behind pest free 2030 these are not good people. In sayin that Cawthron Institute itself says tutu, a native plant, has long been known by Māori to be toxic to both animals and people. A recent study showed that the active ingredient can be extracted and used to target rats. “Scientists extracted the active ingredient, tutin, using a purification process, and tested it on lab rats. The research found that a lethal dose killed rats faster and more humanely than many other existing pesticides“.

The idea Rods possum seat warmer and third way on 1080 were not a part of Rod parliamentary vision is neoliberal revisionism of the worse kind. And now even worse ding bats and grifters like Sue Grey Outdoors who invited the Intenrational Tribunal of natural Justive a bogus oganistion with zero international credibility consisting of panelist with fake degree and mining ties to further sully Rod ideas. Sadly those are votes the Green will never get back as long as they follow the policy established by Rod Donald replace james Shaw a former spin doctor for Batyer (Monsanto). While the right then use that new voting base to indoctrinate those voters with the worse kind of bigotry and red neckery.

It’s just dumb politics to alienate that percentage of voters by dogmatically refusing to even consider a work shop to explore further the 1080 alternatives their own co-leader endorsed regardless of what the revisionist claim.

As a side bar I also find it interesting

A. these right wing minor parties have considerable mining links

B. Anything resembling alternative to mining on the West Coast is being rapidly dismantled. Again it behooves the Greens to take up Rod calls to offer alternative economic policy.

Because it’s only when the question of how can you be Green and also put food on the table is addressed will West Coasters listen. Shane Jones, populist boofhead that he is gets that.

Also take a look at Otago Rabbit problem only thing ever worked was the cannery. FACT.

And in this age where our doggy and cats consume almost as many carbon foot prints as we Westerners I can think of worse idea than rabbit and possums used for bulk pet food and top quality hybrid blends of high end fashion ware sold offshore with a unique New Zealand story on conservation and entreneurship.

Alpa like the high ground so yes use 1080 high in the mountains but also drop sonic beacons that transmit audio alpha and Mt bird don’t like during drops. Purpose avoid accidental poisoning which drives alpha down to trap lines. Don’t seek to kill alpha but sterilise and release them. They keep breeding firing blanks and avoiding rutting frenzy which occur when alphas die. Non alpha female get dispatched.

Fur for unique NZ fashion. Hind legs for eating with more than one centre in South Island for meat quality inspections of TB contamination ( preventing possum from being hunted and serve as food source)

Rest of possum goes into high protein low carbon pet food.

Similar strategy can be employed for other pest accordinly.

Only flaw I see in my idea is the issue of stoats the alpha are exceptionally clever. And yet asides from being carnivores who prefer fresh met over road kill or pesticide poisoned rodents I gotta question the idea of 1080 really being effective on such beast.

Smart enough to dodge traps, breach pest proof fences, ect but can’t workout laced bait not good for them seems a little odd.

These are the issue I dealt with when working as a field investigator for SAFE. And after talking to trappers.

Environmentalist with the best intention can think 1080 works. But without claiming they are wrong perse the issue of methodology that require greater debate ( with cool head and a open mind) are as follows

Severe False Negatives (The “Cryptic” Behavior Problem)

The Flaw: Stoats exhibit highly seasonal behavior and naturally avoid artificial, human-scented structures. During spring and early summer (when native bird nesting makes stoat tracking critical), stoats have high access to natural food like bird eggs and nestlings. [1, 2, 3]

The Bias: They ignore the bait inside tracking tunnels entirely. Studies by Predator Free NZ showed that it took an average of nine separate monitoring rounds for tracking tunnels to catch a single stoat footprint that trail cameras caught instantly. This results in a massive underestimation of the surviving population post-1080. [1, 2, 3]

2. Statistical Independence Violations (The Home Range Issue)

The Flaw: Stoats are incredibly wide-ranging predators; a single adult male can maintain a home range of several hundred hectares.

The Bias: If tracking tunnels are not spaced far enough apart, the same individual stoat can leave tracks in multiple tunnels across a survey line. This artificially inflates the data, skewing the relative abundance index to make it look like there are many stoats when there is only one. [1, 2]

3. Radio Telemetry Sample Size and Capture Bias [1]

The Flaw: Trapping live stoats to fit them with radio collars is notoriously difficult, leading to incredibly small sample sizes (often only 10 to 15 animals per study). [1]

The Bias: The stoats that are easily caught in live traps are inherently more bold or curious than their peers. This “personality bias” means researchers are tracking the exact subsection of the population most likely to scavenge a poisoned carcass, while completely missing ultra-cautious, trap-shy stoats that might survive the 1080 operation. [1]

4. Prey Density Distortion (The Mast-Year Shift)

The Flaw: 1080 drops are frequently triggered by “beech mast” years—heavy forest seeding events that cause rodent populations to explode, followed by an explosion of stoats. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The Bias: When wild mice and rats are incredibly abundant, stoats have zero incentive to inspect tracking tunnels or camera lures. Post-1080, because the rodent population collapses by nearly 100%, the few surviving stoats suddenly become desperately hungry. They flood into tracking tunnels looking for food, causing tracking rates to sometimes increase post-drop, mistakenly implying the population grew when it actually shrank. We lack genuinely independent audits to asses if this is what occuring.

While the issue of alternatives is dealth with dogmatically

A. No one ever being invited to hivemind an alternative strategy. So it not there is no alternative. It’s there no will power to address this issue. While we follow the lie that pest free NZ is possible.

B. It does have to be one or the other. Non 1080 dominated approach spearhead in Golden Bay and achieved great results. My fear these iniaatives when handed back to Doc (,an agency that sends it’s communication experts to be trained by Australian mining consultants) will then go in hard, with 1080s claim of success on top of work of volunteers best case scenario. Or undo good work and then claim failure resulting from not using enough 1080.
