This post below is from The Health Forum NZ.
Did the internet get it wrong about the UOA?
The story is unfolding so fast and so much is being uncovered about the USAID that the University may not have received as much as was initially said but what about the Government agencies that look to have benefitted?
The picture above shows awards from the CDC and the HHS?
Is the funding stream still yet to be fully uncovered?
From the Health Forum NZ:
USAID AND AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY CORRECTION...
Yesterday I posted that it appeared Auckland University has received almost $NZ 500 million dollars funding from the American USAID fund.
This was based on the new open database detailing funding (see below).
However, it appears that there was a misunderstanding about what the database was actually showing.
The University of Auckland did not receive $296m from USAID, or $220m from other US sources.
What happened is that they filled in an IRS form 990, listing their NZ income, in order to be able to receive their USAID grant for $1.1m for research.
The USAID $1.1 million dollar grant is for research into Parkinson's drugs at Auckland University. Oddly the granting body was the American Department of Defence.
Auckland University explains the suspected USAID funding by saying:
"The figures are from the University of Auckland's annual report 2023. If you convert the US$297m (wrongly claimed to be USAID funding) into NZ$ using the average 2023 exchange rate of 1.63, you get NZ$484m, which is the figure cited in the annual report for NZ Government grants" (link to this post in comments)
I am removing the incorrect post. I will repost on this subject as more information comes to light.
PS The Auckland University tax form attached below is very interesting

ALMOST MIDNIGHT MUSINGS - A RADICAL IDEA
As journalists (as much as I despise this word now) and commentators it is our job to investigate things and bring information to the public that we deem to be of public interest.
We are now experiencing the full force of the law, as so many are around the world.
If Trump and his team really are true, can NZ please become the 51st state of America to get us out from the clutches of the deep state?
Huge deepstate players have been entering NZ since 2015 to gather intelligence it would seem.
This is a message to Trump and his team from down under.
If any of you can help share it around so that they get to hear it, I would be very grateful.

What’s really happening in Gaza?
We don’t know, but all of us make our assessments and have our opinions, often based on our own personal likes and dislikes. Here Laura Aboli makes hers, and it’s based on trying to look at the whole situation without bias from as many different perspectives as possible. In the absence of enough facts and evidence to be certain, this seems like a good example of critical thinking. Counterspin members are of course free to totally disagree with her if they like!
7/2/25:
My head is still spinning from Trump’s announcement of his plans for Gaza. For the last couple of days I’ve been trying to look at it from all possible angles. The problem of course, is that what we get to see is usually not even 10% of the real story behind it, so one must put on a Sherlock Holmes hat (on top of the tin hat), in order to collect clues to piece together the possible options.
Those amongst our ranks that were hesitant about Trump to begin with, are now full on throwing him under the bus for what totally seems like the fulfillment of the Zionist agenda: the ethnic cleansing and takeover of Gaza, and I get their anger, but could there be more to it? (With Trump there’s always more to it than meets the eye) 🤔
We can all agree that finding a solution for the region that appeases both sides, is as close to impossible as it can get, so every option is going to be in some way undesirable. I think anyone with a degree of justice and humanity can also agree that the Palestinians have every right to remain in their land, but for the last 70 years we have seen that a two state solution has only resulted in repeated bloodshed, so how on earth do you solve this impossible nightmare of a situation? 🤔
Israel might be a small country with limited resources, but in contrast to its size, we all know that Khazarian Zionists pretty much control the world; media, academia, entertainment, banking, AIPAC, Big Pharma, Big Tech… not to mention Blackrock and Vanguard.
So when it comes to picking an enemy, there is no more formidable, scary and cut throat than the Kazharian-Zionist powers that be.
I have just made a mental note to read Sun Tzu’s ‘Art of War’, I think it could come in handy just about now, but in my basic analysis of how to confront Goliath (oh the irony!) it would seem to me, that subterfuge, deception, disorientation and a slow but continuous cutting off of the oxygen that feeds the beast, might be the way to go.
So let’s assume Trump is David in the current scenario; the sling and rock might have worked against a single giant, but would prove pretty inadequate in this case, where Goliath is a massive web of power and control. So how do you destroy it? By doing what he’s doing; exposing the corruption, the means, the methods, the money laundering, the links to drugs and human trafficking, the infiltration of government through AIPAC, the false flags, the fake media, the Hollywood pedophiles, the FBI, the CIA/Mossad/Epstein operations, the USAID… and soon to come, the Federal Reserve and the IRS…
There is an endless amount of ‘purging’ going on that is slowly cutting off the endless supply of cash that had been feeding the monster. This is how you destroy the impossible enemy, by letting it die of financial starvation. It’s only a matter of time.
In the meantime, let’s pretend we’re the best of allies and announce to the world that the US will control Gaza, to everyones, and more important, Netanyahu’s shock.
Israeli Zionists don’t want the US controlling Gaza, THEY want to be the ones in control. Trump’s move could be the end of their ‘Greater Israel’ dreams, so let’s not jump to conclusions yet, let’s not criticise ‘David’ for not using the sling and instead let’s watch what happens to Goliath when the flow of cash begins to trickle to a halt…

SAS CALLED BY POLICE
Read full article from NZ Herald here
A suspected explosive device was accidentally taken inside Hamilton’s central police station after armed officers arrested a man found with two firearms and ammunition.
It led to police calling for military explosives experts based with the elite NZ Special Air Service for help, even as a buffer zone was created around the suspected explosive.
The drama unfolded in Hamilton yesterday afternoon after reports that a man was seen with a firearm leaving Massey St in the city.
A police response to the calls led to the vehicle in which the man was travelling being spotted and then watched, before armed police carried out a traffic stop on Cambridge Rd - about 20 minutes' drive from Massey St.

The Covid Dossier: A record of military and intelligence coordination of the global Covid event.
By Sasha Latypova
Read full article here.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Covid Dossier is a compilation of the evidence we have amassed over the last three years supporting the following claim:
Covid was not a public health event, although it was presented as such to the world’s population. It was a global operation, coordinated through public-private intelligence and military alliances and invoking laws designed for CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) weapons attacks.
The Dossier contains information regarding the military/intelligence coordination of the Covid biodefense response in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy. For some countries we have extensively documented information. For others, we have some documentation of military/intelligence involvement, but not all the details. For as many countries as possible, we list the military/intelligence agencies in charge of their country’s Covid response; dates on which emergency declarations were made in each country; military/intelligence-related agencies and bodies in charge of censorship/propaganda; and top people with military/intelligence jobs who were known or reported to hold leadership positions in the response. We also list connections to global governing bodies, including the EU and UN/WHO, through which the response was coordinated. In the final section, we provide a list of military/intelligence/biodefense alliances that provide multinational frameworks for responding to a bioterror/bioweapons attack.

DG OF HEALTH IS THREATENING COUNCILLORS & STAFF WITH PERSONAL LIABILITY IF THEY DON'T POISON THE WHANGAREI POPULATION
Read full article from one news here.
Whangārei's fluoridation rebellion is intensifying with the Director-General of Health threatening to potentially pull rank and turn on the switch to add fluoride to the city's drinking water if the council continues its defiance.
This comes as ratepayers face the prospect of almost $5 million in potential extra Whangārei District Council (WDC) costs after councillors voted in December against adding fluoridation to the water.
In a strongly-worded letter to WDC Mayor Vince Cocurullo and chief executive Simon Weston, Director-General of Health Dr Diana Sarfati told the council it was an offence under the Health Act 1956 for a local authority to contravene a direction (to fluoridate).
She said the Minister of Health could seek a rare High Court writ of mandamus — a type of court order — overriding WDC's refusal and forcing it to flick the switch for fluoridating its drinking water.
If enacted, it will likely be a New Zealand first.
Weston said councillors risked personal liability for financial penalties resulting from failing to carry out the fluoridation direction. This risk also applied to staff.
Sarfati's letter threatened heavy non-compliance penalties under the Health Act.
"The Act provides for potentially heavy penalties upon any conviction by a court. The Ministry [of Health] will consider whether prosecutions should be commenced on a case-by-case basis in accordance with the Solicitor-General's prosecution guidelines," Sarfati said.

There will be spare signs, if people don't have their own. There is free parking available opposite the Whangarei Intermediate school.
They need as many people coming as they can muster, as this is a pivotal meeting and they need to show the anti-fluoridation councillors and Mayor that they have support.

DIAMOND DUST AS A GEOENGINEERING STRATEGY PROVES CONSPIRACY THEORISTS RIGHT AGAIN!
This was published in December 19, 2024 at livescience.com:
The geoengineering scheme, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, would not be cheap, but scientists say it could buy us some time until we reach net-zero carbon.
Injecting reflective particles into the atmosphere could offset some of the warming caused by climate change, but the uncertainties are enormous.
Sprinkling diamond dust into the atmosphere could offset almost all the warming caused by humans since the industrial revolution and "buy us some time" with climate change, scientists say.
New research indicates that shooting 5.5 million tons (5 million metric tons) of diamond dust into the stratosphere every year could cool the planet by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius) thanks to the gems' reflective properties. This extent of cooling would go a long way to limiting global warming that began in the second half of the 19th century and now amounts to about 2.45 F (1.36 C), according to NASA.
The research contributes to a field of geoengineering that's looking for ways to fight climate change by reducing the amount of energy reaching Earth from the sun.

🚨USAID FUNDED NZ MEDIA...
... VIA GROUP M WHO ARE FUNDED BY INTERNEWS, WHO ARE FUNDED BY USAID
The spin (propaganda) v. the counter spin (truth)
▶️ GroupM launched with Internews in NZ back in October 2023. Read more about that here:
https://stoppress.co.nz/news/groupm-nz-launches-back-to-news-programme-to-support-responsible-journalism/
▶️ Earlier that same year, in March 2023, USAID put out a press statement saying this (WHICH IS THE SPIN) about their new media project:
"The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), Internews, and Microsoft announced a new public-private partnership to develop a Media Viability Accelerator to help independent news outlets become more financially sustainable. The announcement, made in advance of the 2023 Summit for Democracy, illustrates a shared commitment among government, business, and civil society to shore up democracy’s fourth estate.
“Independent media is both a public good and a private enterprise, but it has faced significant financial headwinds of late,” said USAID
Administrator Samantha Power.
“The U.S. government will use every tool at our disposal to support independent media, including by drawing on the expertise of our partners in the private sector. The Media Viability Accelerator is a model public-private partnership that will help keep independent media outlets around the world financially sustainable so they can continue their vital work.”
“Media around the globe face a dual threat: repression and bankruptcy,” said Jeanne Bourgault, President and CEO of Internews, a nonprofit that supports independent media in 100 countries. “Thousands of media outlets have closed around the world in the past decade due to disruption of traditional media business models. In service of democracy, the Media Viability Accelerator will help reverse that trend by assisting media to survive and become more competitive.”
The Media Viability Accelerator is a web-based platform that will help news media become more financially sustainable by accessing solutions and market insights to inform effective business strategies. Participating media outlets will, free of charge, learn from a community of peers, access a multi-lingual tool that visualizes media performance data, and receive actionable daily alerts based on thousands of market and media sources.
"Independent journalism is essential to a healthy and vibrant democracy, but technology has unfortunately eroded traditional ad-based business models," said Brad Smith, Microsoft's vice chair and president. "Our hope is that this AI-powered data aggregation and visualization tool will offer media outlets the kind of market intelligence they need to be financially successful."
In a three-way memorandum of understanding that underlies the partnership:
USAID agreed to support the development and growth of the Media Viability Accelerator platform, and set and monitor high-level objectives for the project;
Microsoft will contribute expertise in data analysis, visualization dashboards, cloud services, and AI and agreed to provide in-kind technical support to develop and sustain the MVA platform; and
Internews, in concert with other media development organizations, agreed to register up to 500 media outlet users within 6 months, with a focus on media from low-resource countries and emerging democracies.
Other organizations supporting the effort include Free Press Unlimited, Global Forum for Media Development, IREX, SembraMedia, and the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Media outlets, businesses, governments and nonprofits interested in participating can sign up.
ENDS."
▶️ Below is the counter spin, ie THE TRUTH FROM @kanekoathegreat:
USAID-funded Internews went from funding media organizations with George Soros to overthrow governments in Eastern Europe to calling for advertising boycotts to censor free speech online.
This is a textbook example of U.S. regime change tactics being redirected against domestic populism and American citizens.

Part 2 of 2 (part 1 available here)
In the 1990s, Internews partnered with the Soros Foundation to fund media organizations in post-Soviet nations, playing a pivotal role in the color revolutions of the 2000s in Serbia, Georgia, and Ukraine.
During Georgia’s Rose Revolution, Internews funded and trained journalists at Rustavi-2 TV, the leading channel driving the uprising.
“Media was very good at informing the public about what was going on, and it had a huge role in calling people onto the streets.” – Marc Behrendt, former Internews director for Georgia
By 2003, in Ukraine, Internews had conducted 220 media training programs, trained over 2,800 journalists, and produced more than 220 television and 1,000 radio programs. It also funded Telekritika, an online outlet that played a central role in the 2004 Orange Revolution.
After Brexit and Donald Trump’s election in 2016, Internews—now working with the USAID-funded World Economic Forum (WEF)—shifted its focus to pushing advertising boycotts to suppress online dissent.
What was once a U.S.-funded operation to overthrow foreign regimes is now being used to silence American citizens and dismantle Trump’s populist MAGA movement.
The Price Tag?
USAID has funneled over $470 million in taxpayer dollars into Internews.
▶️BRINGING IT BACK TO NZ:
How does the NZ MSM feel about the fact that they were receiving funds from a corrupt CIA front, the USAID?
This is a bit about who was involved on the day of the launch of Group M (taken from linked article above), who ultimately received funds from USAID:
"The initiative was launched with a panel event with New Zealand journalists; @NewshubNZ multi-award-winning Investigative Reporter @MichaelMorrah, NZ Herald Editor-at-Large @ShayneCurrieNZH, and @NadiaTolich, Managing Director of Stuff Digital, to showcase the importance of strong, local journalism in New Zealand.
▶️ WILL THE NZ MEDIA ADMIT THEY WERE PROPAGANDISED AND PAID TO HOODWINK THE NZ PUBLIC ON COUNTLESS ISSUES?
We don't think so.
▶️ YOU ARE THE MEDIA NOW
Please help. It's your job to share this everywhere, so that people start connecting the dots.

What was once a U.S.-funded operation to overthrow foreign regimes is now being used to silence American citizens and dismantle Trump’s populist MAGA movement.
The Price Tag?
USAID has funneled over $470 million in taxpayer dollars into Internews.
▶️BRINGING IT BACK TO NZ:
How does the NZ MSM feel about the fact that they were receiving funds from a corrupt CIA front, the USAID?
This is a bit about who was involved on the day of the launch of Group M (taken from linked article above), who ultimately received funds from USAID:
"The initiative was launched with a panel event with New Zealand journalists; @NewshubNZ multi-award-winning Investigative Reporter @MichaelMorrah, NZ Herald Editor-at-Large @ShayneCurrieNZH, and @NadiaTolich, Managing Director of Stuff Digital, to showcase the importance of strong, local journalism in New Zealand.
▶️ WILL THE NZ MEDIA ADMIT THEY WERE PROPAGANDISED AND PAID TO HOODWINK THE NZ PUBLIC ON COUNTLESS ISSUES?
We don't think so.
▶️ YOU ARE THE MEDIA NOW
Please help. It's your job to share this everywhere, so that people start connecting the dots.

THAT TIME NANIA MAHUTA, OUR FOREIGN MINISTER, MET WITH USAID
The official statement at the time:
Back in 2021 USAID Administrator Samantha Power met with New Zealand Minister of Foreign Affairs Nanaia Mahuta. The Administrator thanked Hon. Mahuta for New Zealand’s role as a valuable development partner and reaffirmed a mutual commitment to cooperate on development progress across the Pacific Islands. The two discussed ongoing collaboration to respond to COVID-19 and climate change threats throughout the Pacific Islands, as well as broader engagement in infrastructure development that is focused on climate resilience. They also spoke about empowering women and girls in the Pacific, supporting the region’s renewable energy transformation and continuing to protect its coastal fisheries and work to foster good governance.

Media is too big

USAID - it’s turning into an explanation for everything that’s wrong in the world…
Victor Orban’s opposition in Hungary…
Bolsinaro’s opposition in Brazil…
The World Economic Forum…
The New York Times…
The BBC…
NZ Media (not in this clip but see above)…
Every left-wing organization in the world is getting paid by it.
David Sachs, Trump’s crypto-czar breaks it down:
“The left, in general, tries to portray itself as a movement of the people - that it’s grassroots. This is the exact opposite. […] This money is coming from the top down out of Washington to fund all these groups all over the world. So it makes you wonder, what is the real level of local support for these left-wing policies all over the world?”
WHAT’S THE BET THAT WE’LL DISCOVER IN A DAY OR TWO THAT THEY’VE BEEN FUNDING THE NZ GREENS AND THE MAORI PARTY?

WATCH GEN Z AS THEY START TO UNDERSTAND HOW THEY’VE BEEN SCREWED:
Learning where the money is going from USAID is blowing a lot of people’s minds because they are realising how their world has been artificially designed to express a certain reality which is absolutely untrue.
We’ve all been victims, but young people especially. Without so much life experience, they’ve been easy prey for clever psychological operations from climate change to transgender surgery using the stars they look up to.
In the US that is changing now and perhaps this coming Superbowl today will be another turning point. Elon Musk (people think he’s one individual but others understand there’s much more to him than that) is putting $40 million of his own money into five ads at the Superbowl today.
With the eyes of the nation directed there, these ads are supposed to show what has been going on. And those who slave away to make a living, never getting ahead, will be understandably PISSED when they realise the truth.
Make friends with a Gen-Z-er now and help them see what has been happening all this time. When it comes, you can expect them to provide a lot of the raw energy for the next phase of the GREAT AWAKENING.

The AVALANCHE OF TRUTH is picking up speed.
It’s DOGE’s discoveries regarding USAID today, but what will happen when other US govt agencies are exposed?
Dept of Education?
The Pentagon?
The Federal Reserve?
What will happen when those who have been getting the kickbacks are named?
Will anyone still think that nothing is happening then?

While NZ has been distracted with Waitangi - this has happened .. and we all should be very concerned.
The Cook Islands have just struck a partnership with China - a move that breaks the constitutional arrangement with NZ. This is seriously worrying.
China has really stepped up its pursuit of influence over the pacific islands recently, with Kiribati being another example.
Since Labour under Ardern decided against intervention to keep Marsden Point refinery operational, NZ now only has 5 days worth of fuel, 5 days and we all stop.
Geopolitical pressures in the Pacific could easily cause sea freight issues which could easily knock our economy over in very short order.
