There are two crucial court cases next month into abuse of power that every citizen who gives a damn needs to focus on.

The first is Nicky Hager’s legal challenge to the Police raid on his house, remember NZ Police seized evidence from Nicky on Police corruption, when people hear the full scale of police abuse of power in the Nicky Hager case next month, few will doubt there is something rotting in NZ.

The second case that will be crucial will be Jon Stephenson’s case against the NZ Defence Force for their smearing of him when he was writing critical journalism of their role in Afghanistan.

These Court cases are important and what will be revealed will be shocking abuses of power aimed against Journalists, which isn’t too surprising when you consider the environment of fear that has now descended across the Journalistic industry with the political killing off of Campbell Live, Rachel Glucina’s Ponytail smear and Mihi Forbes quitting Maori TV.

It follows on from a clear policy by John Key to attack the media…

John Key’s crimes against Journalism

  • Killing off Public Broadcasting TV by shutting down TVNZ7 and having Minister’s lie about how many people watched the station.
  • Raiding newspapers and broadcasters to stop them publishing the tea pot tapes.
  • Defaming investigative journalist Jon Stephenson who questioned if NZs SAS had committed war crimes in Afghanistan by handing civilians over to known torture units.
  • Defaming investigative Journalist Nicky Hager by calling him a communist conspiracy theorist when Hager opened up the Dirty Politics black ops team working within Key’s office.
  • Calling award winning Journalist Glenn Greenwald and whistle blowers Julian Assange and Edward Snowden ‘Henchmen’ when they revealed the truth of Key’s mass surveillance plans.
  • Having all of Andrea Vance’s emails and phone records taken.
  • Using far right hate speech merchant and crypto-fascist Cameron Slater to smear public servants the Government didn’t like.
  • Falsifying SIS information and working with the state spy service to smear Phil Goff in the media months before the 2011 election.

…this is what happens when a million voters go missing and you only have wall to wall Paul Henry and Mike Hoskings. If you aren’t angry yet, you aren’t paying attention.

  1. “John Key’s crimes against Journalism.”

    Where the hell is the court case against key at?
    He is carrying out an agenda set by his puppet masters see below.

    We are living now in pre-war Germany times again.

    This was where the Government created a fear among the media and anyone who is outspoken & criticizing the junta of that day.

    Then we can clearly see Key is using these same techniques here in NZ as this is now happening here.

    Key has attended Bilderberg in 2011-12 and was briefed and expected to carry out this control technique here to carry out his task of selling the country to the Elitist Corporates and other Governments.

    This is the whole secret agenda of community control Bilderberg has indoctrinated all attendees (including J. Key at their annual conferences so follow this video as for the record here it has been planned for more than just the last three years in Bilderberg meetings, but here are the agenda side by side to show the clear picture of where we are being driven.

  2. And we forgot about Campbell Live – remember him?

    And we forgot about mihingarangi.forbes@maoritelevision.com

  3. Those of us here at the TDB can join the dots and see the sinister connections going on. However those sitting and watching ‘come dine with me’ or seven s***t’ may have some trouble in doing so.
    It’s a very frustrating and sad time to be a New Zealander.

  4. Thanks Martyn for reminding us of the upcoming court cases.

    This whole issue of state interference in media and journalistic scrutiny is pretty disturbing stuff.

    And the mainstream media that is left to report the “sanitized” news, are in the pocket of Key!

    Welcome to the NatzKEY state!

    The streets people, the streets are always there for the taking, for us to give this fascist government a sharp message that we have had enough and will not tolerate any more abuse!

    We need a People’s Party, which is committed to working for ordinary Kiwis from which we can take our lead, to reclaim our nation?

  5. The state control of the media is a disgusting and growing phenomenon in NZ and in the world. Last weekend Kim Hill had a guest, Peter Pomerentsev who presented a dystopian view of Russia and its media manipulation that, ironically, is really what is occurring in the USA and western countries including NZ. Also ironically Hill’s uncritical acceptance of what he said makes her and National Radio part of the problem. Because of programs like this many people believe Russia is the aggressor in Ukraine and Europe is threatened by Russia when in fact USA is the aggressor and NATO is threatening Russia. This matters to NZ because of the possibility of nuclear war and also because of the use of this sort of propaganda by governments, like the present National one, prevents NZ’ers from seeing what is in their best interests. They do not have the balls to stand up to the USA and reject geopolitical manoeuvring like intervention in Iraq and the TPPA. China is becoming our most important trade partner and the USA through the TPPA is attempting to control world trade and marginalise China. Is this in our interests? Individually government members and media figures may do very well supporting the neocon regime in the USA but their job is to act in NZ’s long term interest not their own.
    As you point out Martyn the Nicky Hager and Jon Stephenson court cases will be important markers as to who is winning. The fascists or free speech

    • Hehe…during the 1960’s NATO ran a computer program into a likely world war 3 trigger and how it would carry itself out.

      1) A global cashless society. At least in the ‘western ‘ nations .

      2) A peace pact with Israel . Which includes many of the Islamic states.

      3) A failing of that cashless society that creates world shortages for raw materials.

      4) Russia attacks from the North to the Armagiddo Plains to secure resources and oil – also – because of alliances with various middle east Muslim states.

      5) Russia is checked by the west…China comes overland and destroys vast numbers as they advance.

      6) China is then checked…

      Now we can see this lining up with the BRIC nations separating and forming their own economic system. The West hates this and they hate Putin. Yet Putin is showing more leadership and strength than any in the west.

      He knows this cashless system the west’s cooking up will need to be brought about by a global economic crash …and he’s not having a bar of it.

      So much for future global geopolitical events.

      As for Key.

      We are at five minutes to midnight from a form of passive totalitarianism. That is linked globally. And one of the techniques is to subvert the media.

      And they have done a very , very good job at it.

      And this population doesn’t realize it ,…in fact …like ignorant dumb animals…led off to slaughter…they happily not only trudge towards that slaughterhouse – they give hearty approval for it.

      They are quite content to ignore what once would have been …a serious breach of parliamentary standard of behavior. To overlook and allow our legal system to overlook as well ,…some very obvious and blatant transgressions of the law.

      Indeed…even our courts are affected by this same virus.

      We are paying the price nationally for an abdication of the will by the people who would – under normal circumstances of healthy democracy and freedom of choice – have been up in arms and demonstrating this slide into societal decay led by the very leaders who they elected.

      We , – as a people – have had 35 years to arrest this trend…far more than enough time.

      Yet we did nothing. We pontificated , we justified , we accommodated to fit in with this ideology , we excused it , we became apologists for it , we justified it becoming orthodox economic and ideological thought in government and academia, we let it be enshrined in law , we let it get preached by biased editors who were in agreement with it….

      In short – WE – created a vacuum for this global neo liberal phenomena by our own collective enabling of it through OUR weakened resolve to constantly challenge and resist it.

      And sadly , we are now seeing the EARLY end results of where this is taking us.

      We did not listen to those who raised the alarms , we criticized and shamed those speaking out. We let our own ‘ leaders’ lead the way in denigrating as such.

      The treatment of Nicky Hagar , Kim Dotcom , Rob Amsterdam , Greg Greenwald …the incredibly puerile and ignorant comments against Edward Snowden and the rest by a PM who knows next to nothing about the bigger picture by comparison…and remains in that ignorance purposefully so…

      The constant insinuations and blatant smears against journalist’s that speak out and may get in the way of this PM who acts not on our behalf but the interests of a foreign government. A man who has been caught out lying blatantly so often while in office.

      A man who can assault a member of the public for 6 months while being in the presence of police bodyguards AND STILL not be called to task by our legal system.

      Our legal system . Our own police. Our media….once encouraged to investigate corruption …taken over by this same group and led by this ‘ PM ‘…

      We are in dark , dangerous times and yet this population STILL refuses to admit to what is right there before them – and yet that deep down so many are now feeling a growing disquiet and unease about…

      These are truly symptoms of a national sickness that has overwhelmed even the most resistant of citizens.
