In my open letter to Groundswell I said Groundswell NZ had organised farmer meetings where anti-semitic conspiracy theories were presented by a spokesperson for Agriculture Action Group.
I now understand that the meetings were organised by the Agriculture Action Group,
I apologise without reservation to Groundswell for this error on my part.
Co-founders of Groundswell, Bryce McKenzie and Laurie Paterson have assured me Groundswell does not support or promote anti-semitism and say “We have ever only spoke about unworkable regulations & endeavour to not go outside that brief”.
I’m happy to accept their assurances.
The anti-semitic conspiracy theories which the Agriculture Action Group has promoted include allegations of “Jews socialists and communists” working for a global takeover and include references to the Rothschilds and Rockefellers as examples of wealthy Jewish families working alongside the United Nations agendas to achieve this.
This is classic anti-semitism and it is important it is called out within the farming fraternity. Farmers frustrated for whatever reason must not be used to promote conspiracy theories.
The Agriculture Action Group is holding dozens of “Farmers and Community Meetings” from one end of the country to the other sowing fear and suspicion to promote their conspiracy agenda. These people are a serious concern. What they say about farmers and guns in particular is very scary.
We understand Federated Farmers will be addressing the issue of wild conspiracy theories in public shortly and we welcome this.
A gentlemanly retraction Mr Minto.
Respect.
For context:
I read: “Agricultural Action Group” was formed by Robert Wilson, Fred Roberts and Heather Meri Pennycook on election night and they hit the ground running the very next day.
… All three had stood for election with AdvanceNZ.”
That’s Billy Te Kahika’s mob.
That’s interesting, Peter. This lot obviously need a closer look.
Cmon Richard ,,,, the quote from the above link at about 2mins ,,, “they have their own fire-arms,,,, and they are very practical at fighting for things”
And they are ,,,, https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/crime/kawhia-shooting-accused-sold-drugs-from-family-home-shot-at-intruders-crown-says/CWCHVBL2GEPUNYXEKFA7HH7AIQ/
The hilarious thing (for me), from the above link,,, is Williams the rural Rambo ,,, “called a friend and told him what happened and when asked if he’d called police, said he hadn’t. He asked him to look for the group’s vehicle. Williams also got in his vehicle ( with his loaded weapon !!), and looked for the group.”,,,,,,,
I think what the herald link left out,,,, was Williams had fitted the back hoe onto the tractor ,,,, ready to dig a big hole.
Practical people those farmer folk 😉
he he ,,,, I don’t think farmers could organise a rabbit board at the moment CountryBoy.
I do agree with you that bankers have fucked present day farmers with land values linked to what high intensity non-sustainable practises can wring out of the land…..
“According to Reserve Bank figures, total farm debt in New Zealand is $62.8 billion – that’s up 270 per cent over the last 20 years.”
I’m all for getting our farmers banker monkeys of their backs ,,,,, but cutting slack to looney tunes ‘Agricultural Action Group’s’
veiled threats and delusions does them no favours.
Our new land owners must love the side show ,,,, “The four largest private landowners are foreign-owned forestry companies.”

If you’re looking for me on the battle field ,,,, I’ll meet you at Peter Thiels place when the war starts,,,, and you pick your target.
p.s ,,, don’t fire that bullet behind the red dot ,,,,until after I’ve done the wooden stake through the heart and decapitation thing ….
Me, after being shot ,,,,,my final words ,,,, ” that was no friendly fire ,,, I detect malice”
p.p.s ,,,, Criticism from me, directed at the mad,bad and sad among farmers,,,, does not make me an Anti-Farmite ,,,
