‘Canto fermo’ is the term for an existing melody used as the basis for a new composition.
The prose and poetry of mystics like John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila and Edith Stein – all informed by the Gospel – is my ‘melody’. The ‘new composition’ is this blog and my indie novel ‘The Age for Love’. To buy my book go to amazon.com or smashwords.com and download to your kindle, iPad, phone or any reading device.

The plight of Te Whatu Ora is pitiable. What in a kinder era was called the Ministry of Health is trying to put the stopper back on the Covid Scam bottle but the genie is out already and spreading around the entire world faster than any germ. The damning data revealed by whistle-blower Barry Young must be damning indeed: if it's not, why is Te Whatu Ora vainly attempting to suppress its publication?
And how can Young be charged with "accessing a computer system" that he was PAID to access? That was his job! And how could his purpose be "dishonest" when his purpose was to do the job he was paid to do? To collect data on the vaccinated?
So much for transparency: Te Whatu Ora is paid by taxpayers to collect data about said taxpayers which is surely, morally, the intellectual property of said taxpayers. But now Te Whatu Ora has has been granted an injunction that prevents anyone in New Zealand OR overseas from publishing the data, or any information derived from it, on pain of having one's entire account deleted - as has already occurred.
'"Too late, too late!" the maiden cried.' The genie's out of the bottle and they can't bolt the stable door now that the social media horse has bolted.
And "An unjust law is no law at all" (St Augustine).
What's more, in response to an OIA request, Te Whatu Ora (Health NZ) is still busily disseminating the blatant lie that vaccination is "safe and effective". Even more, they embroider the lie by claiming that vaccination is necessary to prevent spread of infection. Te Whatu Ora is still urging everyone to keep up to date with their shots, "to protect themselves, whanau and community"; so they imply that vaccination is not just to protect the individual but to prevent transmission to the community. There is no scientific basis for that claim.
They kindly assure us that Covid vaccination is not responsible for excess mortality in New Zealand. Aha! So they admitted there is excess mortality! But how can this be? 'Experts' (including our all-time fave, Prof Michael Baker) have been trundled out all week long to prove there is no such thing in New Zealand as 'excess mortality' - that the death rate is below the pre-pandemic baseline.
But Te Whatu Ora knows better. It even knows that the excess mortality it admits exists has nothing whatsoever to do with the vaccine.
Being a craven coward, this blogger is going to hide behind New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science (NZDSOS) and their data and information.
NZ Whistleblower Case: NZDSOS Response to MOH Data Release
Reading Time: 7 minutes
MASSIVE DATA RELEASE FROM WHISTLEBLOWER SUGGESTS GOVT AWARE OF MANY DEAD AFTER THE JABS. WE KNEW THIS ANYWAY. HOW WILL OUR MEDICAL AND POLITICAL LEADERS RESPOND?
DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH.
New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science has been calling out the increasing numbers of post-jab deaths for nearly three years since the roll-out began. We have calculated numbers in the thousands, with many more suffering serious injuries. We have shown the criteria for causation are satisfied, and that the covid injections can cause death and injury through multiple mechanisms.
Given the coercion, censorship and manipulation that characterised the coronavirus jab campaign, people have a right to know what were the intended effects, and the actual outcomes.
The barrage (they don't mean barrage, they mean large numbers - ed) of injured left to suffer needlessly, at the mercy of a system which ignores their very existence, is something we continuously speak out about daily. The tragedy of those left behind after their loved one(s) died unexpectedly after a Covid vaccination weighs heavily on our hearts.
US data analyst Steve Kirsch has revealed the staggering toll that has been exposed by a then anonymous New Zealand government whistleblower. In Steve’s livestreamed talk there were technical issues, so his presentation proper starts at 23 minutes.
A day prior, NZ media personality and politician Liz Gunn introduced the Ministry of Health database manager to the world. He calls himself Winston Smith in a nod to the ‘hero’ of Orwell’s 1984. His data demonstrated very high mortality after injection, over 30% of recipients dead within a year of being ‘vaccinated’ by some mobile centres (presumably vaccinating into rest homes, which will have a greater annual mortality than the general population’s 0.75%).
Clearly a headline result meant to shock, we would like to have seen the full range of mortality increases across all vaccine centres, and a breakdown by dose number in the presentations, etc. He and Liz followed up with 2 more interviews, discussing the data from similarly narrow perspectives.
Te Whatu Ora's CEO, Margie Apa - perhaps not one to be met in an alley on a dark night?
In a departure from their mute silence on all negative research, the Ministry of Health has issued a reassuring message to the troops, denying there is a problem and parroting ‘safe and effective’. Its chief executive, Margie Apa, clearly has put her Bachelor of Communications to good use, receiving a salary of at least $489K yearly and allegedly a 200K bonus at the start to push the jab hard, as did all the other DHB chief executives.
Unsurprisingly, Apa (and the obedient media) reports that the man has been suspended pending an investigation. Like the KGB chasing down underground subversive open mic nights, government have called in the police and are using US specialists to track and remove the data’s public appearances. Sadly, the new Health Minister has inherited the current habit of spin over openness. So we know that the whistleblower is real, and so is the data he has released, presumably, since Apa is not claiming it is faked.
But yes, there are immediate questions about confounders of the data, it is clearly incomplete, there are some mistakes and its final provenance remains unclear. However, Steve’s graphs of the data – NZ deaths following the jabs – in all age groups, show concordance with other countries’ released data. The shots kill and the governments know it. This was already indisputable.
From the Kirsch presentation, in the charts below, the mortality curves after a safe vaccination should be actually a straight line at worst, or ideally trending down if it is effective and the infection is serious, ie no-one is dying from the jab, and fewer people go on to die from an otherwise dangerous infection. Instead there is immediate jab harm which then rises inexorably, peaking around 10 months. This is exactly what UK Office of National Statistics data has been showing consistently, after independent analysis of the sort the UK government ought to have published but has ignored. Here is US Medicare data showing a rising mortality with time after each dose, in those 80 or younger.
And here is his chart from the NZ release, showing a similar pattern, and triangulating with the lethality assessment of Rancourt et al, and with the apparent peak at 5 months.
Notably, our first international collaboration in 2021, with the Israeli Peoples Commission, demonstrated exactly that finding in the first country to achieve very heavy vaccine coverage.
This confirms what we have been saying all along: this mRNA gene technology is not safe, it is not effective and it causes serious harm and damage to everyday kiwis.And that the government of the day damn well knew it. It lied to the people, and its own MPs. People like Rory Nairn have paid with their lives.
If Ms Apa is so certain we and whistleblower “Winson Smith” are disinfo agents, we call on her to release the actual data of outcomes in the vaccinated.
We have been asking to analyse deaths and vaccine data since September 2021.
self-explanatory
There are so many questions that remained unanswered. If the vaccine was so safe, why are there so many excess deaths? If effective, why so much covid? We do not accept that the 2020 lockdown inhibited mortality rates and that what followed was just a normal rebound. That seems like a convenient answer to explain away the sudden rise in deaths which began in early 2021, matching the rollout. Nothing is consistent with the safe hypothesis.
Assuming this data is genuine, the obvious seems now proven: that data was being selectively “released” – propagandised, massaged and hidden more like – by government agencies and its media channels to skew the perception around what is safe and effective. And they are in good company. Pfizer is only now submitting some NZ deaths from 2021 to the VAERS database in the US, over 2 years later.
It’s not as if suspicion hasn’t already been raised about the New Zealand government massaging data. It seems rife, actually. Here is a recent example, of a 76% leap in deaths in 0 to 4 year olds in 2022, from a double-checked OIA result, compared to a completely different number published on an official website. We know which number fits best with the reality of reports on the ground. And reporting from around the world.
If all this information has been sitting in the government databases and those who saw it and were collating it knew the full extent of harm, then criminal charges need to be laid as quickly as possible. Experts will pore over it carefully, and we urge the NZ Police to do the same. Of course there is a chance this is a setup to discredit Liz Gunn and those she shared with. Opinions are a dime a dozen in the twitterverse, but we should get the takes of heavyweight stats professionals like Norman Fenton and Igor Chudov, and a consensus will emerge as the full data is digested. Time will tell.
“My take is that the potential confounders that could be sorted down to the most granular level possible of the individual records, are so completely distributed through the sample, consisting of about 1/3 of the total NZ population, with huge sample sizes for all the various age groups, etc. that have been examined so far, as to be utterly inconsequential with respect to the central question: What was it that started killing so many people after the C-19 vaccines were introduced that was not killing them before the vaccines?
If no one has a plausible answer that excludes the vaccines, all that is left for an answer is that the vaccines caused the rise in all cause mortality (ACM) in all the countries where they were introduced, and soon after they were introduced…. Confounders cannot explain anything new relevant to the issue at stake. The vaccines are killers. Or, what complex of confounding variables can overwhelm the measurable impact of the vaccines in all the countries keeping records… See Beattie’s study* of 145 countries and more to follow soon.”
Whether this data is fake or real – and we want to believe that it is genuine so it can help end this nightmare more quickly – many people want to know the truth about the jabs, and they will find it, one way or another.
There being safety in numbers, we quote also from the Expose:
(A)n administrator who had been overseeing New Zealand’s Covid vaccine database had come forward as a whistleblower. The whistleblower, Barry Young had disclosed that data had shown a concerning proportion of individuals had died shortly after receiving a Covid vaccine. Days following this disclosure, journalist Liz Gunn reported that Young had been raided by the police on Sunday, and now, according to James Freeman on radio station TNT, he could face up to 7 years in prison.
The Disclosure.
Barry Young worked as a data administrator on a project at the
Te Whatu Ora, public health agency established by the New Zealand government to implement a vaccine payment system to provider.
Young exposed just how many individuals had been found to have died following covid vaccinations, as we reported on the 2nd December, a breakdown of the data based on vaccine batches was provided by Young.
He claimed that in the first batch, consisting of 711 vaccinated individuals, 152, or 21 percent, died soon after.
Further analysis by Young extended to those administering the shots and the recipients, revealing alarming figures. One vaccinator administered shots to 621 individuals, and of those, 104, or 17 percent, died. Source
Notably, the majority of the vaccine batches were Pfizer doses. .
Expressing deep concern, Barry Young said “This should never happen, the percentage who die from what would be a normal vaccination administration would be 0.75 percent.”
On the same principle of safety in numbers we'll even descend to quoting Stuff:
Young called his arrest “off the charts” and likened it to the Gestapo, the secret police force of Nazi Germany which perpetrated crimes including the Holocaust.
Young said eight armed police were at his property, put him in handcuffs and took him to a police station.
“This is quite classic,” vaccine safety expert and Associate Professor Helen Petousis-Haris said.
Prof Petousis-Harris doesn't quite rank with Prof Baker but we must allow her another moment in the sun. Because it ain't goin' to shine much longer.
“This is this is what people who are in this game do all the time. They take people who've had an event [like] an illness or death, and they attribute it to exposure to a vaccine.
“If you go out and you vaccinate 90% of the population. Of course, people are going to continue to die as per normal. We saw an increase in mortality at the increase of Covid outbreaks.”https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/301021743/te-whatu-ora-data-leaker-details-his-arrest-and-intentions-in-interview-with-prominent-conspiracy-theorist-alex-jones
"As per normal." How do these people get to be professors?

New Zealand is now at war with itself. We are in a state of (barely) undeclared civil war. It's exactly what one humble blogger feared on election night when the success of Te Pati Maori and its trouble-makers Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi became apparent.
This morning the nation was brought to a standstill by thousands (reportedly, but we know how accurate is the reportage) turning out in protest against the newly-elected government's intention to return New Zealand to a democracy where no one holds spurious privilege by claim to a drop or two of Maori blood.
"For in their mouth there is no truth; their heart is full of mischief"(Ps 3). The liars at Te Pati Maori call such policies "anti-Maori" - and the Public Service Association agrees.
The PSA invited all its 80,000 workers today to take the day off "to protest and be politically active on National Maori Action Day.https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/news/national/live-updates-te-pati-maori-mass-protests-auckland-s-motorway-network-to-face-
This reeks of treason - and the media are sooling the combatants on. Reading their highly emotive prose it's hard to escape the conclusion that they are drumming up radical, socialist - not to say Marxist - opposition to New Zealand's democratically-elected government. Look at the free advertising (below) given Te Pati Maori by just one news outlet, NewstalkZB:
Kia ora! Across the country today, crowds are gathering for mass nationwide protests - signalled by Te Pāti Māori as possibly one of many this parliamentary term.
If you're just joining us now, here's what you need to know:
Thousands have gathered across multiple cities and towns for the mass protest called by Te Pāti Māori party.
The hīkoi causes gridlock across Auckland’s motorway network this morning.
Police officers have been deployed across districts ahead of the protest. The protests have so far been peaceful. No arrests have been made.
Whangārei organisers expected 30 people at their protest - 600 showed up.
More than 1000 people marched from Aurora Bridge to Parliament in Wellington.
Crowds gathered at multiple locations across the country, including main centres such as Whangārei, Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Rotorua, Hastings and Wellington.
Two people have been arrested in Auckland this morning as Te Pāti Māori protests brought peak-hour traffic to a standstill with thousands turning out against Government policies labelled “anti-Māori”.
Police say an estimated 300 cars participated in Auckland during the protest which was “peaceful and the vast majority of groups dispersed relatively quickly”.
Notice the police falling over themselves to be nice and kind here, just as they were to the 'PRO-CHOICE' protestors who sat all over Lambton Quay, obstructing the March for Life on Saturday.
A spokesperson said the first arrest was made near Esmonde Rd on the Northern Motorway after a vehicle failed to stop for police. The vehicle was also impounded. A second arrest came when a woman near Orams Rd on the Southern Motorway for disorderly behaviour on the motorway.
Further south, the Waikato Expressway suffered a 3km backlog after being blocked by approximately 50 cars. This had a “significant impact on traffic”, police said.
Areas such as Hamilton City, Whakatāne, Rotorua, Tokoroa, Taupō and Palmerston North also held gatherings of around 100 people each, and minimal disruption occurred.
A large truck in Tauranga blocked a lane on Hewletts Rd due to the protester’s safety concerns, however, police arranged for the truck to be moved and made clear that using a vehicle to block the road in this way was not acceptable.
Most of the convoys have now dispersed and traffic has returned to normal, although a crowd of about 200 remained at Māngere Bridge at 10am with Bob Marley’s Get Up Stand Up playing through loudspeakers.
Earlier, protesters parked along the motorway in Albany, “barricading” in motorists, while State Highway 3 in Whanganui was blocked by protesters walking slowly along the highway, flying flags and playing music. A protester said on TikTok that they were walking towards the Whanganui courthouse and had plans to speak to the judge.
In Wellington, 1000 protesters gathered on Parliament grounds, where Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer addressed the crowd.
There was also widespread congestion around Tauranga, where protests reduced SH2 Hewletts Rd to one lane.
Takuta Ferris during his swearing-in
Meanwhile, at Parliament, the nation was highly edified by the spectacle of Te Pati Maori MPs at their swearing-in:
The Parliament was officially opened on Tuesday, and it was a taster of the thrilling political scene we are set to see this term.
Can we not sense the media licking their lips?
Te Pati Māori MPs swore allegiance to the Treaty of Waitangi and mokopuna - or children - before the traditional oath.
It was a continuation of a day of protest that saw action across the country with Māori gathering to stand up against the policies of the new Government.
Democracy began at dawn in its purest form: people power. There were pistols drawn on shirts all across Aotearoa. It was a mobilisation of Māori against the coalition on motorways, on bridges, on streets.
In Wellington, they marched to the heart of power - Parliament - to send a message through haka and waiata.
The 54th Parliament was officially opened, with the judges entering one by one. Each MP swore an oath of allegiance. Some clutched bibles, others copies of the Treaty, and there was also a family tree. ACT leader David Seymour swore on the Bill of Rights Act.
Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke - ah, what's with the double-barrelled double-barrelling?
The Prime Minister received a gentle ribbing from his opposition for his prior mispronunciation of heirs as hairs.
But it was Te Pati Māori which stole the show with haka and waiata in the House.
They swore their own oaths.
Te Pati Māori MPs swore allegiance to the Treaty of Waitangi and mokopuna - or children - before the traditional oath.
Mariameno Kapa-Kingi
"I swear that I will be faithful and bear full allegiance to our mokopuna," said co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer.
"Exercise my rights in accordance with Te Tiriti o Waitangi," said co-leader Rawiri Waititi.
The Māori Party eventually took the oath of allegiance - to "Kingi Harehare".
Interestingly, Harehare also means offensive or skin rash.
"They are trying to make fun of the transliteration Hare, which if said as harehare is kind of a transliteration of Charlie, but it also means something objectionable," said New Zealand First MP Shane Jones.
Te Pati Māori organised the people protest and carried out their own parliamentary one, with decidedly mixed reaction.
"It would be awesome to see the oath changed," said Greens co-leader Marama Davidson.
"We swore our own oath, how we think an oath should be sworn in Aotearoa," said Waititi. "It should reflect Ti Tiriti o Waitangi, but there also should be a commitment to our mokopuna. That's exactly what you hear today was a commitment to upholding the mana of our mokopuna."
Te Pati Maori are a law unto themselves.
"I actually think it's narcissism," said Seymour. "It's all about them when everyone else can be respectful of the institution they have worked hard to be elected to. I did notice that after all the theatrics, they still swore allegiance and signed up to make sure they get paid."
Labour's Willie Jackson said Seymour can "jump in a lake".
"I love living rent-free in his mind," said Waititi of Seymour.
The Greens' swearing-in: someone asked why did they all dress like rapists? Another comment: "nothing speaks resistance like a lanyard"
Jones wasn't impressed with Te Pāti Māori's actions in the House, calling them "excessive".
"It is preposterous that the Māori Party should think that they are the authentic voice for Māori New Zealanders. I remind everyone again that party got less than 3 percent of the vote and a lot of their party voters were not Māori, a lot of them were hippies."
Te Pati Māori had one last trick up their sleeve as National moved to elect Gerry Brownlee as Speaker. Debbie Ngarewa-Packer nominated her own - the former Speaker Adrian Rurawhe. But he didn't accept.
Brownlee beat the odds and partook in the tradition of being dragged to the chair. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2023/12/te-pati-m-ori-swearing-in-during-parliament-opening-was-taster-of-thrilling-political-scenes-to-come.html
Go here - Don Brash <hello@hobsonspledge.nz> - to sign a letter to PM Christopher Luxon affirming your support for his government and its policies and urging him to stand firm on his commitments.

A small protestor faces reality at an abortion facility picket in Edinburgh
The pro-life movement in New Zealand needs to muster the courage of its convictions and demand nothing less than an end to abortion.
The annual March for Life saw thousands go to Parliament yesterday - geriatrics, babies and all ages in between - to hear excellent speeches, from international American pro-truth activist Isabel Brown (https://www.isabel-brown.com) to Catherine Gillies, an Auckland accountant, to Cheyenne Aranui, a young mother from Raupunga in Northern Hawke's Bay, and Alfred Ngaro, the first NZ-born Cook Islander in Parliament. But while celebrating the historic overturning of Roe v Wade in the US, they all fell short of demanding an end in New Zealand to the lie that abortion is a "women's right".
"Face it: Abortion kills" read the billboard held by one marcher. What has happened to "Godzone"? 29 helpless babies are killed here every day in the womb of their mother and dismembered, perhaps for merchandising for in the lucrative international fetal body parts industry. And yet those infants' defenders yesterday were abused as "fascists" by the usual sad, screaming liars who call themselves "pro-choice", meaning "my choice": women (mostly) who one way or another have suffered terribly from abortion and yet, unhinged by grief themselves, are impelled to inflict that punishment on another generation.
They sat down in the middle of Lambton Quay near Parliament, halting the March for 10 - 15 minutes until the police ever so politely persuaded them to move to the pavement, where they gave vent to their over-wrought emotions to the peaceful parade passing by. One can readily picture the process by which police would have cleared the street if pro-lifers had disrupted a parade of LGBTQI+ and transgender activists.
We may remind those "pro-choice" people that in Nazi Germany it was fascists who butchered or gassed or otherwise despatched 6000,000 Jews, pre-figuring in miniature the horrific holocaust of abortion which kills 73,000,000 EVERY YEAR, sacrificed to the god Moloch on the modern altar of convenience. The abortion industry is based on the lie that the unborn baby is somehow inhuman. That is the lie that spawned the propaganda of the LGBTQI+ movement that would persuade us that men can be women and men can have babies.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in 1975
What has happened to Godzone is collective, national amnesia. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn said in the 'sixties, "Men have forgotten God", and it seems today that even churchmen have forgotten God.
There were priests there yesterday, marching to Parliament. One was conspicuous by his cassock as a priest of the Society of St Pius X (SSPX) - and in close-up by pockmarks left by a recent, very severe bout of chickenpox (even on his feet) which didn't, however, stop him from walking from Civic Square to Parliament and staying on those same feet to lead the Rosary at the end of the March. One other wore a collar and clericals, as one would expect from any priest asked to lead the marchers in prayer from the steps of Parliament.
Two further Catholic priests went incognito, one for the reasons best known to themselves by clergy who dress like lay people, but the other because his order kowtowed to a group of women who "went to the bishop", with the result that he was removed from public ministry. Both - one by his own wish (shared with the majority of New Zealand's Catholic clergy) and the other by the wish of his order - were, by wearing civvies, failing to remind the rest of us of the existence of God in our midst.
And FOUR priests, among those thousands of marchers? Where were the others? Where were the bishops?
One of the pou at Parliament
Another indicator of Godlessness at Parliament was the pou which now preside over the steps, above the statue of "King Dick" Richard Seddon (himself not memorably Christian). It strikes one as significant that where there is no emblem or symbol of Christianity to be seen there is now, according to Stuff, "a carved post that stands guard and protects an area from physical and metaphysical harm"(added emphasis). "It is on display to remind people the area is protected, they need to be aware of their own behaviour and mindful of the environment they’re entering."https://www.stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/300751059/what-is-pou-tiaki In other words, a pagan entity.
The overwhelming majority of the marchers yesterday (who seemed fewer than last year) were without doubt Christian; in other words, people who pray. Cheyenne Aranui, the last to address the crowd at Parliament, appealed for a change of heart to convert our nation from the culture of death to one of life and love. The new "pro-love" movement within Voice for Life NZ works towards that in a practical way by filling boxes with booties, bonnets and blankets for pregnant women in need - an apostolate which honours the Second Commandment and greatly pleasing to the Heart of Christ.
But pro-life Christians who pray for a change of heart in our nation must honour firstly the commandment to give glory to God, without which intention nothing can be pleasing to Him. And especially Catholics, who have the Mass - of which St. Padre Pio once said, “It would be easier for the world to survive without the sun than to do without Holy Mass” - need to remind themselves that with God "no word shall be impossible" (Lk 1:37).
Some saint has told us that if we want to enter heaven, we must aim for the highest level of holiness and then we might just scrape in. In the same way, if we want New Zealand to emulate the defeat of Roe v Wade, we need to pray, absolutely, for an end to abortion.
Nativity with St Francis and St Lawrence Carravaggio
On the first Sunday of Advent we pray to thee, O Blessed Virgin, for an end to abortion
