The truth behind the Benjamin Doyle Character Assassination and the naked hypocrisy of Winston Peters

I told you this was a disgraceful Lynch mob against Benjamin.

Businessman behind toxic online Benjamin Doyle campaign

At the centre of this campaign is @2ETEKA, which has called for more dirt on Doyle and relentlessly targeted political opponents with slurs, smears, and thinly veiled allegations of paedophilia.

There is no evidence suggesting NZ First is involved with the account. The party said Williams is not a current member.

…I don’t believe that at all, he was deeply involved with NZ First and always has been…

The Post linked Williams to the account through a trail of biographical breadcrumbs — references to jobs, locations, and a recent anonymous interview on The Platform.

…an interview that Sean has now taken down and hidden after this was exposed…

Williams, who has lived abroad for much of the last 20 years, has kept a low public profile. On The Platform, he explained why he wanted to remain anonymous: “I’ve got children, I’ve got a job, I’ve got a life… we’ve seen what’s happened to other people who speak out on particular issues. It can become quite nasty.”

Last year, Williams organised and emceed the “Inflection Point” conference in Wellington — a gathering opposing the “gender indoctrination” of children.

Online, @2ETEKA was explicit about its writer’s political leanings. “I literally started my account to encourage people to vote NZ First,” read one post.

The account frequently promotes the party and appears to have acted as a go-between for events, including a campaign appearance by Winston Peters in New Plymouth.

A party source told The Post Williams had previously been a member, however; the account posted about attending the party’s 2023 AGM and helping draft a policy remit that ended up in the coalition agreement — activities typically reserved for members.

Despite this, the same source said Williams was not a significant figure within the party: “I wouldn’t say [he’s a] bit player, but it wouldn’t be too far from that.”

Attempts to reach Williams for comment this week were unsuccessful.

Responding to The Post story following publication, the @2ETEKA account posted:

“Hear this bozo’s, [sic] it’s X, you’ll find thousands of the same sentiments expressed on any given day in NZ. I’m a proud New Zealander and I do not regret standing up for what is right, I do not regret exposing a public interest matter, and I won’t be stopping tweeting about issues, or offering my opinion on subjects that I know many good kiwi’s support me on, and I would encourage you all to also continue doing so, don’t let them win.”

In a statement, NZ First president Julian Paul said the party was not responsible for posts made by its supporters on their private social media accounts.

“To the best of our knowledge, this account existed for years and well before New Zealand First even returned to Parliament,” he said.

The account was created in February 2023.

A megaphone for NZ First

Since February 2023, @2ETEKA has posted more than 18,000 times, gaining nearly 10,000 followers. The account’s name is a reference to Prince Tui Teka, the Māori showband performer.

The account lavishes praise on NZ First while heaping vitriol on the party’s perceived enemies — including journalists, academics, and rival politicians.

Among the insults: One female journalist is a “stupid bitch” and another a “communist c….” A prominent academic is a “dumb Marxist bitch”. Nicola Willis is a “sick bitch,” Chlöe Swarbrick a “mental illness bitch” and Dame Jacinda Ardern an “evil stupid bitch,” a “c…,” and a “junkie crack whore.”

MPs Matt Doocey and Chris Bishop are labelled “child abuser” and “rainbow retard,” respectively. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is a “giant pervert”.

The account sometimes implies that its targets are either paedophiles or sympathetic to paedophilia. One post reads: The Greens “use kids any which way they please… They turn them into political and sexual play things.”

The account has called Doyle “P Diddy Doyle”, a reference to the musician accused of sex crimes. It also said Doyle “hasn’t claimed he’s NOT a MAP”, referring to Minor Attracted Person, a euphemism for paedophile.

Despite these highly personal and vulgar attacks, @2ETEKA is followed by various senior NZ First figures, including party president Julian Paul, party secretary Holly Howard, board member Helma Vermeulen, and MPs Shane Jones, Jenny Marcroft, and Tanya Unkovich.

Look at the hatred of this piece of filth…

…Jesus wept – THIS IS WHO LED YOU TO THE LYNCH MOB?

A Toxic NZFirst Troll whose malice and spite know no end?

This is the person Detective Ani O’Brien (who is complaining about sexism) used?

How did your boy refer to women Ani?

That’s your champion is it?

Ani are you ok? Are you ok , are you ok Ani?

You’ve been hit by a Truth Minimal!

This is the nutter Detective Ian Wishart used?

This is the cancer that Sean Plunkett promoted?

This is who led you all to believe Benjamin Doyle was part of a secret pedophile ring?

This is the arsehole you believed that justifies death threats to Ben and his child?

AND HIS CHILD???

NZ First knew when the TVNZ Poll was in the field.

NZ First knew about this Troll’s activism.

NZ First had to hide they were spending $4billion on the Ferries and smearing Benjamin was a direct decision by Winston.

NZFirst are the most deplorable, hateful Party out there and their feral supports are radioactively toxic and they deserve our contempt.

Give Rhys and everyone who platforms him the contempt they collectively deserved.

Just consider the hypocrisy of Winston clutching his pearls over ‘bussy’, when his NZ First activist is using this language

…the audacity of Winston knows no end.
