Of course. You are mad if you don’t.
Yes he Helped President Trump win the US election by allowing X to be a Free speech platform and that is truly a great thing and a big deal even still it *always pays to approach power with healthy skepticism.
Most of his wealth comes via Government contracts and subsidies… ie from Taxes and Gov debt.
So his pockets are filled with Tax Loot.
All his tech systems… his rockets and his satellites can be used by Big brother’s Evil all seeing Eye.
He’s involved in creating AI which he says himself could be an existential treat to humanity.
He’s busy building a Tech Empire to rival the WEF and every other Tech Lord…. Bill Gates… Bezos… Soros, etc.
He did not buy Twitter to ‘save free speech’ he bought it as an important piece in his Tech empire… A global network to which all humanity can be assimilated.
It just so happens The best strategy to achieve all this and defeat his competitors is to get on side with the Freedom movement.
I do believe he’s Better that most of the other *super Evil* Power mad freaks out there but when you look at what he’s up to you would be mad not to realise he’s on his way to world domination of his own design.
On the plus side he’s probably not into Mass genocide and culling the human race… he probably sees us as customers… you need consumers and customers and plebs to rule over and to be ‘worshipped’…???
who the heck knows… thats probably taking things way too far.
One thing is certain.
Power Corrupts and Absolute Power corrupts Absolutely. Lord Acton.
FSANZ (Food Standards Australia and New Zealand) is proposing to end any requirement for labelling certain foods which have been genetically modified.
In brief, foods that they judge through various technical criteria are ‘substantially equivalent’ to natural foods will no longer be labelled as such or even referred to as ‘genetically modified’.
“In essence, the regulations will be accommodating the commercial biotechnology food sector ensuring that they will no longer be required to label many gene modified foods. In other words, the public will be left in the dark about the GM origin of a wide range of foods and thereby denied their right of choice.”
My commentary (reply)
@actparty
I’m a Libertarian. Understand this… *We the people* of New Zealand have the right to demand any product containing GM organisms be clearly labeled.
That does not violate Free trade. It protects against subversion and trickery.
The big question is why *certain interests* would want to hide such a declaration?
It’s obvious who those interests are…. *The Mega corporations* … and why do they want license to operate in the dark?
Because they know *Consumers* don’t want GM Products! Ie Consumers will not willingly prefer GM food over Natural food if they can tell the difference!
So this is about deceiving the consumers… for the sake of Mega corporations and their Patented GM Crap!
Furthermore… *on the basis of property rights* We New Zealanders do not consent to GM Crops being grown here in NZ *because You cannot guarantee the GM organisms will not escape into the wider environment…. contaminating the property and crops of others who do not want GM organisms on their farms or in their food!
Therefore it is upon Libertarian first principles that I demand the Government Prohibit all GM organisms unless they are grown under such conditions that guarantees they will not contaminate the property or crops of others.
The Big corporations want the people to sacrifice their rights just so they can make a fortune without bearing full responsibility for the risks their activities cause to others.

Politicians are too easily corrupted by Corporations.
Too often Politicians are one track minded… easily duped by pseudoscience… and willing to trample on the rights of the little people for what they perceive as economic gain.
All too often Politicians serve the Profiteering interests of Corporations over the rights of the people whom they are elected to serve.
One of the most blatant forms this has been taking in recent times is attempts by governments to prevent people growing their own food at home.
By attacking Home grown food this threatens the Store of Seeds held by the general public and their ability to feed themselves in hard times.
It causes them to become dependent upon Big Food.
Patented GM products has almost nothing to do with the betterment of humanity and everything to do with *Ownership of verities of food crops for profit*
Property rights is the strongest defense against such a scheme as unless corrupt politicians allow corporations to spread their mutant strains without proper safeguards… It would cut into the profitability of such crops if they had to be grow under stringent conditions that prevented escape into the wider environment.
Here’s the thing… Mr. Big Food… If you can grow your crap without affecting the property of others and their GM Free Crops… and if you clearly label your products… full disclosure and are able to get them to market and sell them … ie you have a customer base… All will be well and good, yet if your operation threatens neighboring farmers and you must hide the fact your produce has GMs to sell it at the market…. then you can go fly a kite!
The viability of your GM Crops must factor in the rights of others *who were here first*.
I’ve had a guts full of constant encroachments upon self-reliance and healthy foods.
Monsanto and other Mega corporations can Bugger off as far as I’m concerned.
We esp don’t want Bill Gates fake Meats!
New Zealanders don’t need their crap.
We can grow Clean Natural foods.
That’s what New Zealanders want for our kids, and by keeping our produce 100% GMO Free we can supply the global market for others who want the same for themselves and their kids.
Big Food needs to grasp the fact that Junk Food is no longer wanted.
The world wants God’s Natural goodness.
This is why corporations don’t want to declare their GM produce.
We can not allow them to hide their crap in our food.
Propaganda would say that the desire to have clean natural food is a ‘Luddite’ anti-science mentality.
Satan laughing spreads his wings…

NZ Minister of Defense Judith Collins is Livid that on line social media commentary has been zeroing in on the fact that the commander of the HMNZS Manawanui was hired to fulfill the Navy’s Woke ‘Diversity and inclusion’ policies that has seen a number of top positions filled with woman.
Collin’s is a typical powertriper who want’s to tell the public what they should think.
She certainly does not appreciate the Governments PC Hiring policies being put in the spotlight after the loss of a 150 million dollar Navy Ship.
It has been reported here by Author John McLean that in recent times The Navy has made a big deal about inclusivity of woman… Yvonne Grey not only being a woman but also a lesbian, yet now that disaster has struck Judith Collins seeks to red herring the NZ public by pretending that any critisism of the Navy’s hire policies are false and ‘extremely mysogynistic’.
Collins denies Diversity hire was a thing in the Navy… she insisted Grey was awarded the position on merit.
Screen shot from an excellent opinion piece by Redbaiter on X
Watch the video and read the commentary…. It is just one of many excellent opinion pieces that have been written on this very embarrassing sinking of the NZ Navy Vessel.
She even claims such Misogynistic online abuse has resulted in ‘Woman in uniforms are being abused on the streets!
Really?
This smacks of total Bullshit to me!
As for any possibly false wild speculations going on on line… IMO that is *Her Fault* for not being up front about what happened!
We should not have to wait for a ‘court of inquiry’ to hear the basic testimony about what occurred!
Further more… and this is the truly *1984* part of Collins comments…. she made it clear that she (the government) took the trouble of ‘investigating’ people who made negative comments on social media about the Wreak!
The EVIL EYE of the State now turns upon us if we dare express opinions they don’t like!
That’s Stalinism… North Korea China type tyranny type stuff whereby the want a population too scared to critisise them!
As for denying ‘Diversity hire’ is a thing in the Navy who the hell is she trying to kid? We all know and see that Woke travesty being implemented in government and the private sector… all day every day!
People who have been consciously selected for positions on the basis of their ethnicity or Sex.
If the people are now suspicious that the Captain of the Vessel was one of those sorts of ‘diversity hires’ well that isn’t because they are *Misogynistic* but because we know that is a policy of Idiot organisations today so they can virtue signal and appear woke and not be accused of being bigoted.

An excellent critique of Defense minister Collins patent gaslighting was published by Counterspin Media NZ on X here
Diversity hire is Navy policy.
Excerpt… ” And while Collins has insisted that various women in positions of leadership within the NZDF have been appointed based on merit, rather than diversity quotas, a little digging destroys that claim.
In 2023 for instance, an OIA request (attached) was made to the NZDF in regards to gender equality, which is most interesting…
According to the NZDF OIA response, the organsiation adopted the principles of the UNITED NATIONS WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT PRINCIPLES (WTF?!) after being invited by the ‘NZ Women’s Empowerment Principles Committee’ to do so.
The rainbow warriors at the NZDF also attached a ‘Champions of Gender Equality Charter’ to the OIA. The fact that they even have a document like that goes to show just how ‘woke’ and infected with cultural Marxism the organisation has become.
It is also worth remembering that circa 2016, the NZDF went about changing job titles to remove the word ‘man’ from them, (for e.g. from ‘General List Seaman’ to ‘General List Warfare’) in order to be seen as modern and progressive.”
*****
So there you have it! Diversity hire is Navy policy!
Yet let’s pause for a moment.
What if Grey really was the most competent applicant for the position of Commander?
Even so… She may indeed be worthy, yet when ‘Diversity hire’ is a thing you destroy any faith the public can have that she was hired on merit.
Diversity hire puts things like Sex, and race high up the list of criteria for hiring staff. It is well known it skews the employment process and means competence can place second to diversity quotas.
And if Equality for woman really is the ideal then she must be prepared to weather the storm of public scrutiny and guile the same as if a man was at the helm. Collins reaction is typical of Feminists who play the victim mentality whenever they are held to the flame!
* She is the one playing the sexist card here*.
Rabid feminism!
*We know you are full of crap
@JudithCollinsMP *
Take a look at this Feeble PC Beta Male leading our Navy here
This is what’s left after all the so called ‘Toxic Masculinity’ has been squeezed out!
As for the so-called ‘Official investigation’ Should New Zealanders have confidence???
Not Likely! John McLean says… “The Inquiry seems to be organised so that the Navy can protect its own back as well as its policies, including – and especially – the criteria for promotion in this ever more feminine (and feminist) service. As Peter Cresswell pointed out on his Not PC Blog “An inquiry by the Navy about the Navy doesn’t give confidence that we’ll ever know much more”.
” the Navy has compounded the problem by appointing as chair of the Inquiry into the disaster yet another person who can only too easily be perceived to be another of its over-promoted women – in this case Commodore Melissa Ross, who also ticks the boxes that seem to be more and more important in naval promotions – in her case being both female and part-Maori…
So passionate is she about the importance of promoting women in the Navy (apparently because they are women rather than on merit) that the Navy website of 6 December, 2019, stated of her: “She is passionate about the development of women in the military and was co-chair of the N.Z. Defence Force’s Women’s Development Steering Group, which she helped create”.
How could anyone have faith in such an Inquiry, headed by one who appears to be so fanatically committed to her fellow female officers as to bring her objectivity into doubt? Commodore Ross is the very last person who should be involved in an inquiry into the sinking of the Manawanui.
The New Zealand Navy is a small affair where everybody knows everybody else and that is especially true of the coterie of powerful female officers who all seem to be of the same stripe – of advancing women (and covering up for them?) at the expense of men. Obviously Melissa Ross and Yvonne Gray know each other – probably very well. If a litigant in court is known to the judge, that is always pointed out and the judge will normally remove himself from the case. So why not follow this rule for the naval Inquiry?”
****
So Judith Collins must think the New Zealand Public are gullible idiots to expect us to have faith in such a farcical investigation!
As if the findings will ever call into question the employment processes that led to Yvonne Grey’s appointment as Commander of the Vessel.
We the people of New Zealand have the right to question the impact the Woke politicized Diversity hire is having on the quality of performance by our Navy!
Obviously placing Politically correct quotas ahead of Competence is a massive Fools game that risks many peoples lives!
My Message to Judith (She was tagged into my X Commentary) is Stop treating New Zealanders like naughty children and release the preliminary information you have on your desk!
Answer the fundamental questions such as was the vessel drifting or under power when it hit!
Stop the stone walling and obfuscation!
Until you do that… until you give us some facts…. do us a favour… if you don’t like what’s being said on line … just scroll past!
Rumours, speculations, and falsehoods love a vacuum… you are responsible for that.
The longer you dither about the more the suspicions grow.
And we have the right to discuss these matters and draw our own conclusions.
Do you get that?
Probably not.
And for goodness sake get Impartial Investigators on to this so that we get real answers… and so the people of NZ can have confidence that we will hear the truth.
As John McLean States… “For an Inquiry to be credible in should be headed by the Judge Advocate of the Armed Forces with two others: one from Britain’s Royal Navy and the other from the Royal Australian Navy. Only then could the public, whose taxes have to pay for a $130 million replacement vessel, have confidence in the outcome of the Inquiry. The choice of Melissa Ross to head it is yet another example of Judith Collins’ notoriously bad judgement.”
*****
That seems like a reasonable expectation to me.

The judge ordering Alex Jones’ Infowars to be auctioned off, to pay $1.5 billion defamation damages (a sum he could never pay), proves it was always really about destroying Alex Jones.
The shooter was the one who horrifically murdered those innocent children, not Alex Jones.
He might have said things that were wrong and then he repeatedly apologized.
How many times have you ever heard the mainstream media ever apologize about all the horrible things they have said? And lies they have told? And character assassinations they have made on people?
Never.
And are they being ordered to pay their victims billions or their media companies being auctioned off?
Maxwell Joseph Davies.
19 Nov 1948 to 6 August 2024.
After a period of illness, on Friday 9 August 2024 family and friends laid Maxwell Joseph Davies to rest at Pyes Pa Cemetery.
Plot 80.
I had the honour of being asked by Max’s family to direct Max’s funeral service, and to deliver a short gospel message before Max’s body was carried out to his final resting place.
To some attendees my short Christian message was probably seen as a superfluous 5-10 minutes to be endured rather than as anything important, yet for Reawyn, *And Max* his funeral was an opportunity not to be missed… to declare the truth about Jesus Christ and the Bible.
Far from being silly superstitions… Max’s and fam’s faith is founded upon solid ground, and the Gospel message contains their highest values as they know how essential it is for every human being to come to a saving knowledge of why Jesus Christ voluntarily submitted to death on the Cross.
They were especially desirous for their close family and friends to know the love of God so that they might be saved from God’s Judgement for their sins… should the light of truth dawn in their hearts.
On this score… the Davies have proven their love, and faithfully fulfilled their Christian moral duty.
Make no mistake… Heaven and Hell are for real!
Whatever the future holds for each person who attended Max’s funeral, let it never be said the Davies failed to warn their loved ones about the impending Judgement of the Almighty and the simple way God has provided for us all to be forgiven and made holy, so that we can spend eternity together in his presence.
Let he that hath an ear to hear… let them hear.
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.”
Paul The Apostle to the Gentiles. (Corinthians 1vs 18-21)
God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us
Romans 5vs8
It was an honour to be asked to deliver these vital truths to the people Max held so dearly.
I did my best with the short time I had to prepare, and tried to balance the importance of what needed to be said, without too much imposition upon the occasion.
My intention being to write a tribute of more substance to Max’s faith to be put online as a memorial… hence this which is before you now.
I was asked by Reawyn and Fam to perform these rites… to bless her home, etc as more than 3 decades ago, I had the pleasure of Leading a bible study at Max and Reawyn’s home in Payne st Judea.
What a fruitful little fellowship that was!
The Word of God found fertile soil there and Max and Reawyn’s faith grew strong… and enduring… transforming them into Bible believing… Grace preaching… Dispensational… Christians.
From that time onwards Max was no longer simply ‘a family man’ and a Builder…. he became ‘A soldier for Christ’… Max’s life became imbued with Divine strength and purpose.
God gave Max and family the fortitude to endure hardship, and to take pleasure in the simple things of life… esp family.
Max truly was a powerful and Godly Christian Warrior!
He was a beacon of light… Mighty with the Sword of the Spirit (The word of God).
Max was anything but a stereotypical Christian! He always was and remained to the end of his life… A Bougan… A Pakeha Maori, He loved a beer and a good yarn.
Unlike so many phony Pharisaic type churchmen… full of ‘Spiritual pride’… who preach Moral Legalism.. and posture with fake self-righteousness… mishandling the scripture and teaching false doctrines of works, and who don’t even believe the bibles they hold in their hands… Max was the antithesis of all those things! He was a preacher of *genuine Christian truths*… of Humility, of grace, and of faith in the trustworthiness of the King James Bible… in spite of our own shortcomings.
He knew and preached the true Gospel of God’s grace given to us via God’s Apostle Paul. Its a tragic reality that a majority of Christians in the world today don’t even understand these basic essentials.
Max did.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God. A workman that needeth not to be ashamed… Rightly dividing the word of truth…”
2 Timothy 2vs 15.
There may be thousands of Christians and churches in New Zealand, yet sadly most of them wallow in False doctrine… and don’t properly understand the Gospel.
Very few indeed truly understand the scriptures to the degree that Max did.
He really was a beacon of light as he appealed to everyone he met to stop walking in darkness and embrace the Bible!
Max would extoll you to trust the King James Authorised version of the Bible… As God’s inspired and preserved revelation to us… The final authority in all matters of Faith and conduct.
Max lived a quiet life and received little credit for his labours for Humanity and God. No honours (except from his immediate circle) No fame.
Despite living in virtual obscurity It is my testimony to declare that when Maxwell Joseph Davies passed away Tauranga and New Zealand lost one of our Greatest Christians.
He lived a good life, and it is in recognition of His stature as a real Bible believing Christian that I write this tribute.
Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant.
The same week Max passed away Lead vocalist of the 70s Rock Band Led Zeppelin Robert Plant turned 76… making him virtually the same age as Max… His age difference being 3mths.
You may be wondering why I mention Robert Plant in my tribute to Max Davies? Well, It has to do with the question…. What is a Good life? What is real Success?
Most people reading this know Robert Plant is ‘Rock Royalty’… having achieved ‘Legendary’ status… Living a life of fame and fortune… yet we also know the sands of time sooner or later run out for us all.
Robert Plant will eventually go to his grave with millions of adoring Fans paying him tribute… and by many people’s estimation Robert Plant has Lived Life to it’s fullest. Literally millions of Fans would loved to have walked in his shoes … Yet will any of that Fame and Glory matter when Robert Plant goes to meet his Maker?
In the final tally… when we each give account for ourselves before God Almighty do you really think all the fame and fortune will be deemed to have eternal glory?
No.
“For What profit a man though he should gain the whole world yet lose his own soul?”
Mark 8vs 36.
You see it is when we stand before God Almighty and our lives and deeds are (metaphorically speaking) weighed in his scale… that’s when the true value of things will be known. Do you expect God to use the same judgement as this lost world measures success?
To believe that is to be foolish indeed!
“…Behold, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding” Job 28vs28
If then we use God’s yardstick to measure what a Good and successful life is I contend that despite Max’s humble existence… in the final tally… God will find his works and his faith are of far greater eternal value than all Robert Plant’s so-called ‘Fabulous life of Earthy success’.
We Christians do not serve the Lord in expectation of wealth or Fame, but out of our love and gratitude to the Lord for what he has done for us, and from our compassion for our fellow man… We have a message of hope and salvation for all who wander lost in darkness and sin… “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever should believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3vs16
In Christian virtue and by God’s metrics Max died a success!
Max died a truly wealthy man in the things that really matter!
Max left this life beloved by his wife and Children, with many friends, and well respected as a tradesman.
Max… as Head of his house was able to instill in his children that life has real meaning and purpose.
He taught them that via faith in Christ not sin… nor even death can defeat the Christian.
Max taught his children with certainty that though they may be separated by death for a short while… to carry on and live their lives to the fullest… fulfilling their God-given purpose… and when their time arrives… to face death with peace and hope trusting in God’s grace and goodness.
In death the Christian is received by Christ.
Video (Above) In Death Paul the Apostle meets his loved ones in heaven…. and Jesus!
Reywyn and Family…. May your faith be an unfailing source of strength! Rest in the certainty that you shall be reunited with Max… for this is the promise and great hope of the Gospel!
This is our great hope.
Death can not eternally separate us who believe!
This is not my opinion… its what’s written in God’s Holy bible!
Amen.
What a tragedy it is for any person to go though life thinking it is pointless and meaningless!
What a tragedy to face death without hope!
Especially given the fact that *Atheism is a delusion!* The Bible say’s ‘The Fool hath said in his heart there is no God!”. (Psalm 14vs1)
When the Atheist stands before the judgement seat of the Almighty… then they will realise just how foolish their atheism was… and how their Heart and mind were darkened… but by then their fate is sealed. They chose to enter Eternity unrepentant of their sins… they spurned the sacrifice of Christ.
Max was not a perfect Christian, very much like myself Max had his vices and struggles. We are well aware of our shortcomings. These faults cause us to rely wholly on God’s grace. Thankfully We know we have been made free from the Law… by Christ, and that despite our own failures to live godly lives, we trust in the Cross, and in God’s love, mercy,
‘And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:’
Pil 3vs9
‘Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:’
Galatians 3 vs 13
5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Galatians 5
For by grace are ye saved: through faith. and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God.
Not of works lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2vs8,9
It has taken me a month to write this tribute because I feared not doing justice to Max’s memory.
I realise my chief difficulty comes from the fact that though I have many dear Non-Christian friends, I have far less dear Christian ones… and very few indeed as dear to me and as close to me as Max was… and I have suffered a great personal loss with his passing. He was (and indeed still is) one of my closest brothers in Christ…
Rest in Pease my friend…. Until we meet again!
Much Love and respect my Brother!
My one regret is that I allowed far too many years to pass without visiting you.
Sorry Bro.

P.S I hope Robert Plant knows the only true ‘stairway to heaven’ is the Cross of Jesus Christ!
It’s not for sale… you can’t buy your way into heaven yet don’t be sad!
God’s Gift of salvation is *FREE* to anyone who believes the gospel that God sent Christ to die for our sins, and that he rose again from the dead in victory over sin and death, and whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!

The Charlie Brown and Franz Stigler incident occurred on 20 December 1943, when, after a successful bomb run on Bremen, 2nd Lt. Charles “Charlie” Brown’s B-17F Flying Fortress Ye Olde Pub of the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) was severely damaged by German fighters. Luftwaffe pilot Franz Stigler had the opportunity to shoot down the crippled bomber but did not do so, and instead escorted it over and past German-occupied territory so as to protect it. After an extensive search by Brown, the two pilots met each other 50 years later and developed a friendship that lasted until Stigler’s death in March 2008. Brown died only a few months later, in November of the same year.[1][2]
