Of course we are losing the war against Organized Crime and here’s why it’s going to get worse
Experts urge minister to take bold action on organised crime as drug use soars
- Cabinet Minister Casey Costello established an expert group in February to give advice on how government agencies can work better to combat organised crime.
- The group’s first report says New Zealand’s drug problem is ‘overwhelming’ and the Government needs to take bold steps.
- Final recommendations will be made in September but ‘deficient’ information sharing between government agencies is highlighted as a problem.
Of course we are losing the war against Organized Crime and here’s why it’s going to get worse!
1: Despite decades of being fear mongered by our Politicians about domestic gang violence, our domestic organised crime are not in the same league of criminal sophistication as Australia’s crime culture and that the 501s being forced back here were forming syndicates and standing over the local gangs presented a unique danger to NZ because our local thick-o cops have no capacity to deal with organised crime that uses counter-intelligence tactics. The 501 syndicates use violence and cheaper more pure meth from their South American Cartel contacts and have taken over most of the imported meth trade.
2: ACT legalised pseudoephedrine and meth use spikes while cops are still scratching their heads…
Gangs making large profits amid ‘bizarre’ increase in meth use
The police believe gangs are now making twice as much money from dealing methamphetamine as they were a year ago amid what they’re calling a “bizarre” increase in use of the illicit drug.
Recently released data from Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR)’s wastewater testing programme revealed New Zealand’s meth consumption rose from 732kg in 2023 to 1434kg in 2024.
ESR’s senior scientist Andrew Chappell told 1News there was a large spike in the amount of meth being consumed in July and August last year – and the level has remained high ever since.
New Zealand went from consuming between 15 and 20kg of methamphetamine a week to between 30 to 40kgs.
…NZ Police have no idea why there was a jump in Meth use in June and August of last year and why it has remained so high.
R-i-g-h-t.
And what happened in June of last year…
Pseudoephedrine back on shelves
Associate Health Minister David Seymour is pleased that Pseudoephedrine can now be purchased by the general public to protect them from winter illness, after the coalition government worked swiftly to change the law and oversaw a fast approval process by Medsafe.
Remember what the officials said?
Officials back planned return of pseudoephedrine sales but suggest meth production increase
Officials have advised Associate Health Minister David Seymour, who leads the Misuse of Drugs (Pseudoephedrine) Amendment Bill, that the move comes with risks including a potential increase in domestic meth production, a higher likelihood pharmacies would be ram-raided and the potential for improper use.
And yet the NZ Police have no fucking idea why meth use spiked the month after this policy came into effect?
If we were serious about cracking down on organised crime and not just paying lip service to it, we would hire 100 Mandarin speaking police officers.
The biggest reason why the spike in meth is occurring is because the Chinese are deeply involved.
What we refuse to acknowledge because our Fourth Estate media is dead, is that Shadow Chinese Banking services have created the infrastructure for the 501 syndicates in NZ to pay South American Cartels directly via Shadow Chinese Banking services.
The expose in the Financial Times at how wide spread Chinese shadow banking for criminal organisations has become also notes Auckland in the global chain of this criminal empire…
Chinese brokers launder hundreds of millions for global crime groups
Chinese money launderers are facilitating the fentanyl epidemic and helping international drug traffickers, like Mexican cartels and the Italian mafia, launder the proceeds of crime. The FT investigates the connection between capital flight from China and global organised crime
…let me spell it out incase you are missing my point.
SHUT. DOWN. THE. CHINESE. SHADOW. BANKING. SERVICES!
They are providing banking infrastructure to the cartels FFS, that’s why we are flooded with Meth – because the suppliers and the dealers can easily transfer the money to buy and sell the meth, that means all they need to do is smuggle in the product without worrying about moving the cash around.
It makes the drug dealing very easy.
NZ was slow to understand what was happening with the influx of 501s.
NZ was slow to comprehend that as much as we had been telling people our gangs were bad, they weren’t in the same league of extreme violence and criminals sophistication of those who were being forced here.
NZ is not seeing the link between Chinese shadow banking, 501 syndicates and South American Cartels.
If we want people off meth, we have to have fully funded 3month rehabilitation programmes that we can fund from a legalised cannabis market.
Otherwise meth addiction will rise and the South American Cartels will get a foot in our door. Bribing Police and Judges will be next.
Nothing National is suggesting by banning Gang Patches or Military Boot Camps is anything more than virtue signalling rhetoric for their frightened electorate.
It’s more important to bash Māori gangs and promise retribution against them than it is it actually deal to the financial structure of Chinese shadow banking that is enabling 501 syndicates to profit from the billion dollar meth trade.
We are easily manipulated muppets.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
New Zealand law enforcement, in general, has a very limited, almost parochial, view of society and law enforcements role in it. Recruitment needs to be far broader, with increased resources going to areas other than “frontline policing”.
The New Zealand Police desperately need the ability to “follow the money”.
Australia sent the 501s to import Mexican meth and the Chemist Warehouse to sell Psuedoephedrine to local gangs.
Meanwhile, China is doing bank. One of China’s retaliatory actions on Trump’s tariffs is to stop cooperation on Fentanyl trafficking. It’s a reverse opium war.
Experienced cops voting with their feet.

I thought this visiting facial recognition and other looming surveillance systems good, and has the required amount of frightening content in it that we expect these days. I joke about not going to see films that don’t have the full set of OTT behaviours and perversions in them. People who are brutalised to this behaviour have lost their souls; this rigmarole then becomes more fitted to their insensitivities.
