What island is that you ask? We are heading to a place that has been kicking ass with listener support recently, and as we learned from a listener, they are not all pussies. We are heading to the land of Peter Jackson, Taika Waititi, Sir Edmund Hillary, Ernest Rutherford, who if you're not up on your scientists, was a  physicist who came to be known as the father of nuclear physics. Encyclopædia Britannica considers him to be the greatest experimentalist since Michael Faraday, Jean Batten, a female aviator who made the first solo flight from England to New Zealand, and the list could go on. Since we gave it away in the last description… You've probably guessed it… We're heading to New Zealand! Not only that… Creepy New Zealand!   So you know by now how we do it here on our creepy series, we like to give you a history of the location we're at and then drive into all that is creepy about said place! Having said that, let's check out the history of New Zealand. It all started when Bilbo Baggins found a ring. It was the one ring to rule them all… Oh wait.. Sorry… Wrong history… oh ya here we go.. Māori were the first inhabitants of New Zealand or Aotearoa, guided by Kupe the great navigator. When did Maori first arrive in New Zealand? According to Māori, the first explorer to reach New Zealand was Kupe. Using the stars and ocean currents as his navigational guides, he ventured across the Pacific on his waka hourua (voyaging canoe) from his ancestral Polynesian homeland of Hawaiki. It is thought that Kupe made landfall at the Hokianga Harbour in Northland, around 1000 years ago. You will not find Hawaiki on a map, but it is believed Māori came from an island or group of islands in Polynesia in the South Pacific Ocean. There are distinct similarities between the Māori language and culture and others of Polynesia including the Cook Islands, Hawaii, and Tahiti. More waka hourua followed Kupe over the next few hundred years, landing at various parts of New Zealand. It is believed that Polynesian migration was planned and deliberate, with many waka hourua making return journeys to Hawaiki. Today, Māori are part of an iwi (tribe), a group of people who are descendants of a common ancestor and associated with a certain region or area in New Zealand. Each iwi has their own hapū (sub-tribes). Iwi can trace their entire origins and whakapapa (genealogy) back to certain waka hourua. The seven waka that arrived to Aotearoa were called Tainui, Te Arawa, Mātaatua, Kurahaupō, Tokomaru, Aotea and Tākitimu. Māori were expert hunters, gatherers and growers. They wove fishing nets from harakeke (flax), and carved fish hooks from bone and stone. They hunted native birds, including moa, the world's largest bird, with a range of ingenious traps and snares.   Māori cultivated land and introduced vegetables from Polynesia, including the kūmara (sweet potato) and often cooked hāngi (an earth oven). They also ate native vegetables, roots and berries. Woven baskets were used to carry food, which was often stored in a pātaka — a storehouse raised on stilts.  To protect themselves from being attacked by others, Māori would construct pā (fortified village). Built in strategic locations, pā were cleverly constructed with a series of stockades and trenches protecting the inhabitants from intruders. Today, many historic pā sites can be found throughout the country.   Māori warriors were strong and fearless, able to skillfully wield a variety of traditional weapons, including the spear-like taiaha and club-like mere. Today, these weapons may be seen in Māori ceremonies, such as the wero (challenge). You can also find these traditional weapons in museums. While Māori lived throughout the North and South Islands, the Moriori, another Polynesian tribe, lived on the Chatham Islands, nearly 900 kilometres east of Christchurch. Moriori are believed to have migrated to the Chathams from the South Island of New Zealand. In the late 18th century, there were about 2000 Moriori living in the Chathams. However, disease and attacks from Māori saw the numbers of this peace-loving tribe become severely depleted. The last full-blooded Moriori is believed to have died in 1933.The first European to sight New Zealand was Dutch explorer Abel Tasman. He was on an expedition to discover a great Southern continent ‘Great South Land' that was believed to be rich in minerals. In 1642, while searching for this continent, Tasman sighted a ‘large high-lying land' off the West Coast of the South Island.   Abel Tasman annexed the country for Holland under the name of ‘Staten Landt' (later changed to ‘New Zealand' by Dutch mapmakers). Sailing up the country's West Coast, Tasman's first contact with Māori was at the top of the South Island in what is now called Golden Bay. Two waka (canoes) full of Māori men sighted Tasman's boat. Tasman sent out his men in a small boat, but various misunderstandings saw it rammed by one of the waka. In the resulting skirmish, four of Tasman's men were killed.   Tasman never set foot on New Zealand, and after sailing up the West Coast, went on to some Pacific Islands, and then back to Batavia (now Jakarta) in the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia). His mission to New Zealand was considered unsuccessful by his employers, the Dutch East India Company, Tasman having found ‘no treasures or matters of great profit'. Captain James Cook, sent to Tahiti to observe the transit of Venus, was also tasked with the search for the great southern continent thought to exist in the southern seas. Cook's cabin boy, Young Nick, sighted a piece of land (now called Young Nick's Head) near Gisborne in 1769. Cook successfully circumnavigated and mapped the country, and led two more expeditions to New Zealand before being killed in Hawaii in 1779. Prior to 1840, it was mainly whalers, sealers, and missionaries who came to New Zealand. These settlers had considerable contact with Māori, especially in coastal areas. Māori and Pākehā (Europeans) traded extensively, and some Europeans lived among Māori. The contribution of guns to Māori intertribal warfare, along with European diseases, led to a steep decline in the Māori population during this time.  Signed in 1840, the Treaty of Waitangi is an agreement between the British Crown and Māori.   Around this time, there were 125,000 Māori and about 2000 settlers in New Zealand. Sealers and whalers were the first Europeans settlers, followed by missionaries. Merchants also arrived to trade natural resources such as flax and timber from Māori in exchange for clothing, guns and other products.   As more immigrants settled permanently in New Zealand, they weren't always fair in their dealings with Māori over land. A number of Māori chiefs sought protection from William IV, the King of England, and recognition of their special trade and missionary contacts with Britain. They feared a takeover by nations like France, and wanted to stop the lawlessness of the British people in their country. As British settlement increased, the British Government decided to negotiate a formal agreement with Māori chiefs to become a British Colony. A treaty was drawn up in English then translated into Māori.   The Treaty of Waitangi was signed on February 6, 1840, at Waitangi in the Bay of Islands. Forty-three Northland Chiefs signed the treaty on that day. Over 500 Māori Chiefs signed it as it was taken around the country during the next eight months. The Treaty had three articles:   that the Queen (or king) of Great Britain has the right to rule over New Zealand; that Māori chiefs would keep their land and their chieftainships, and would agree to sell their land only to the British monarch; and that all Māori would have the same rights as British subjects. The second and third articles have caused controversy through the years, mainly because of translation problems. Successive governments believed the Treaty enabled complete sovereignty over Māori, their lands and resources. But Māori believed that they were merely giving permission for the British to use their land. Disputes over ownership followed involving a series of violent conflicts during the 19th century. These became known as the New Zealand Land Wars, and were concentrated around Northland and the southern part of the North Island during the 1840s, and the central North Island in the 1860s. Both sides suffered losses, with the British Crown the eventual victor. Land confiscation and questionable land sales carried on through to the 20th century, until the vast majority of land in New Zealand was owned by settlers and the Crown. Following its signing, many of the rights guaranteed to Māori in the Treaty of Waitangi were ignored. To help rectify this, the Waitangi Tribunal was set up in 1975. It has ruled on a number of claims brought by Māori iwi (tribes) and in many cases, compensation has been granted.   While disagreements over the terms of the treaty continue to this day, it is still considered New Zealand's founding document.   The grounds and building where the treaty was signed have been preserved. Today, the Waitangi Historic Reserve is a popular tourist attraction. Here you can explore the museum, watch a cultural performance inside the carved Māori meeting house, and visit the colonial mission house, historic flagstaff, and beautiful waka taua (Māori war canoe). Throughout the 19th and much of the 20th century, the ‘homeland' of Britain had an enormous influence on New Zealand. Government administration, education, and culture were largely built on British models. New Zealand troops fought, and suffered severe casualties in the Boer War and the two World Wars. As Prime Minister Michael Savage said about England in 1939, ‘where she goes, we go, where she stands, we stand'. After World War II, cultural ties with Great Britain remained strong. However, successive New Zealand governments saw the USA as their major ally and protector. New Zealand signed the joined SEATO (South-East Asia Treaty Organisation) and signed the ANZUS (Australia, New Zealand, and United States) Pact. New Zealand troops also fought with US forces during the Korean and Vietnam wars. While New Zealand is still heavily influenced by its colonial heritage, the country now has its own strong sense of identity. While still a member of the British Commonwealth, and maintaining close, friendly relations with the USA, New Zealand now has a far more independent trading and foreign policy. Since the mid 1980s, New Zealand has been a nuclear free zone, with its armed forces primarily focused on peacekeeping in the Pacific region. This history of the country was taken directly from NewZealand.Com. It was the best summation without getting too overblown we could find!  So now with that history of the country down let's get into the creepiness!!   First up, a ghost town!  Now farmland and Bush, Tangarakau once was a thriving community of 1200 people. It's a tiny dot on the map 90 minutes' drive from both Stratford and Taumarunui - so remote that it isn't even on the Forgotten Highway. You must turn off State Highway 43 and drive 6km into bush and rugged farmland to reach all that's left of it, which is almost nothing. There's a campground with cabins and provision for motorhomes, a working farm, the heavily rainforested banks of the Tangarakau River and surrounding hills to explore and plenty of outdoor activities: fossil collecting, kayaking, hunting. The name, which translates as "to fell trees” seems appropriate, for there's nothing but paddocks where a community of 1200 tunnellers and railway workers once thrived. Tangarakau was the epicentre of an epic construction job accomplished with picks, shovels and dynamite - a project which it's said would have cost $9 billion in today's money. Construction of the Stratford-Okahukura railway line began from Stratford in 1901 and took more than three decades to complete. The link was mothballed in 2009, though you can still ride over it in tourist railcarts. For most of its life this railway thrived, with goods trains carrying coal, stock and wool and passenger railcars travelling both ways every day. One feature of visiting Tangarakau on the railcarts is that the railway ballast on this part of the track is full of fossils. For about 10 years, during the height of construction, Tangarakau boasted a drapery store, hairdresser and tobacconist, boot shop, tearooms, confectioner and fruiterer, social rooms, post office and savings bank, police station, a boarding house, resident doctor and dispensary (formed by a co-operative Tangarakau Medical Association), a maternity home, cinema and social hall, lending library and reading room, a well-equipped school, recreation ground and tennis court. The streets were lit by a power station provided by the Public Works Department. According to Taranaki's Ghost Town by Derek Morris, men who built the Stratford-Okahukura railway line earned only a few pounds a week. But everyone gave a day's wages to the victims of the 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake. After the line was completed in 1932, the workers drifted away and most buildings were dismantled and removed. During the 1960s, the population dwindled to eight. Now only Bushlands Holiday Park remains.   Not far from the ghost town, in the spectacular Tangarakau Gorge, is the grave of pioneer surveyor Joshua Morgan who died in 1893. Morgan was an extraordinary man - the first European to cross the Urewera Ranges and an eyewitness to the 1886 Tarawera eruption. He spoke fluent Maori and often used English and Maori interchangeably. Morgan fell ill while surveying the road linking Stratford and Taumarunui and did not survive to see the historic railway line through to completion. Morgan's tomb has become a place for travellers to pause and reflect on those who built the Stratford-Okahukura railway line. There's not a ton of sightings from this place but there are a few ghost stories. Some have stated that they've seen apparitions wandering the ground. And there are reports of strange noises in the area as well. Some campers at the campground have reported creepy things happening while they've stayed there including odd noises and something messing with their tents andRVs, wildlife or spirits of  the tallest workers that died working hard to complete the railway?    So we started out light to whet your whistles. Let's get into more creepiness!   Next up we head to Auckland! There we find the Ewelme cottage, which from what we can tell is considered one of the most haunted places in the area! Built in the 1860s, this charming cottage in Parnell was once home to Reverend Lush and his wife. It also functioned as a bolt-hole during times of tribal conflict in Howick, where Reverend Lush preached. This house has remained largely intact and virtually unchanged in the years since when it was built. It is a glimpse into what life in New Zealand used to be like!   It is also rumoured to be haunted by the spirits of women and children, and in particular by the spirit of a young girl. We found a description of a paranormal investigation done at the house and we're gonna share some of those findings. Rather high EMF levels were detected in a few places within the house.

In the early 1300s, from a legendary place called Hawaiki, no more than a few hundred ancestors of the Māori people arrived at Aotearoa New Zealand by sea.

I was scheduled for a final year interview but at the very last minute - it didn't happen, so this is an adlib broadcast which asks us to become mindful of that which surrounds us and to become conscious of the force that sustains our being. In today's broadcast I remind us that: Earth. A biosphere.A complex - subtly balancedLife - support - system. Et turtur nidum,Ubi reponat pullos suosAltaria tua Domine virtutum,Rex meus, et Deus meus (You will understand the above when you listen to the broadcast.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfHXfy9Fs5E  Greetings to you all, from GreenplanetFM.com here in Nuclear Free New Zealand - and nearly GE & GMO Free NZ* - situated little over over 2000, kilometres from Australia in the South West Pacific Ocean and only 2.600 kilometres from the South Pole and the last major country to be colonised as well. So here we are in many ways isolated from the rest of our global kin. And what a year it was - and note … There is so much possibility … even in these tumultuous times and believe me - we can initiate conscious change and this opportunity is going to unfold all through this decade starting in early 2021 next year - that we are a global family awakening into being - but I am getting ahead of myself. So Kia ora and a warm hello to you dear breathers of the one breath that envelops our magnificent biosphere and home planet - mother earth - our great sustainer … Trusting that I find you warmly inner resourced, that at heart you are able to feel grounded and still. Being able to remain focussed yet fluid in your response to the winds of change buffeting the collective consciousness of the 7.8 billion of humanity - sharing the invisible breath at this moment. 2020 - sure has brought our perspective and vision into focus as humanity dealing with fragmentation and disfunction to realise the imperative that we have to come together as a species and a global family - because looking in at the earth from outer space - that is how we are being seen. We have to raise the platform of our viewpoint like that of the astronauts who journeyed to the moon 50 years ago. Remember what they said - we live on a floating blue and white pearl surrounded by the so-called emptiness of space. It’s home for us all. So every morning as our planet turns and the suns rays kiss the faces of us emerging from our sleep to engage in our daily tasks - as Mothers engage in caring for their babies and children and fathers go out working to bring in the cash for another day - (sorry about the stereotype) we must ask that there has to be something better for children for today and tomorrow - as we learn that every breath we take comes from the plankton of our oceans and trees and forests and grasslands of the vegetable kingdom of our biosphere. We also have to be grateful that it’s our planet that lends us bodies in which to live. This is so profound that Mother earth lends us our body, yes … and it’s our planet that lends us free air to breathe and free rainwater to drink and until recently a free food chain in which to eat and nourish our being … That we are taking in the three elements of air, water and the earth in the form of minerals - that there is also the 4th element and that is that of fire - and the sun which our planet orbits annually has another name - the Latin word - Sol - so there is an extension of light and fullness that shines 24/7/365 for millennia and eons - thus showing us that there is so much majesty in this world - that we have found ourselves surrounded in literally a garden paradise that to some remind us of a long distant mystery and story that we were once in another garden - one that was absent of anything that was not positive, optimistic of light and love … So in recognising ourselves - we are one species of many colours, creeds & cultures that for millennia has slowly evolved from tribalism to city states, to nations and empires … and now we are in need of both a change of heart to unity consciousness to jump the divide and realise that we are all intrinsically connected - as a planetary species. However … that to be conditioned and homogenised by the present global institutions (MSM) into the same swamp of sameness is not the answer to a free spirit. Remember we in Aotearoa NZ we used to have an educational system that encourages us to ask questions, and to be curious, to wonder. This goes back to the earlier times because NZ is an extension of the British education system which in many ways itself was founded on ancient Greek thought and knowledge, and I wish to focus here for a moment as I had the good fortune to go to Greece last year. Ancient Greece For such a small gene pool, the Greeks made very important contributions to life, especially philosophy, because Greek philosophers were "seekers and lovers of wisdom". They studied and analyzed the world around them using logic and reason. Although we often think of philosophy as religion or "the meaning of life", the Greek philosophers were also scientists, they studied the makeup of both nature and matter. They were also adept at mathematics and physics; they brought us the word atom - plus geometry, astronomy, and medicine, extending into anatomy, athletics and of course the Olympic Games . ... The Greeks were known for their drama and plays in their amphitheatres as well as sophisticated sculpture and architecture as well. More so, it was the birthplace of Democracy - and yes, they had slaves as well. Possibly one third of the population were slaves. The Greek culture influenced the Roman Empire and many other civilizations, and it continues to influence modern cultures even today. Note that the Greeks did not descend into the Roman darkness of humans killing humans in the Coliseum. Aotearoan NZ Maori However one of my main reasons for going to Greece, which was my third time, was that I have been a student of our living planet for 38 years, and it was the early Greeks who understood this - and they called her Gaia, the Earth mother - that’s over two and half thousand years ago and I wanted to see if their understanding, was similar to the Aotearoa New Zealand Maori - who here in this country have a very sacred connection to the earth - calling her - Papatuanuku. Recently, they have successfully engaged and secured the NZ Government to recognise a river, the Whanganui River (awa) as being a living entity that is embedded in the landscape of this country. Having a catchment area of 7,308 square kilometres. Furthermore, Maori have also worked with the New Zealand Government to have them bequeath, due to its geographical isolation Te Urewera of Tuhoi, the regional tribe or iwi - a national park that is essentially all forest that covers 2,127 square kilometres in size. Bestowing on this land to be a legal entity that has the rights, powers, duties and liabilities of a legal person. These are world firsts … Having lived near on 72 years of my life in New Zealand - hanging out on the underside of the curvature of our planet, and spending 17 years as Air NZ flight crew flying from the Southern Hemisphere up over the equator into the northern Hemisphere - I had also spent time with Dr Elisabet Sahtouris - who is a geo biologist (among many of her other scientific attributes) and she has studied our planet as a super organism - but I have also had the good fortune to interview Dr James Lovelock - a polymath, who through his research with NASA, the US Space Program - gave us a hypothesis that is now a theory - that our planet is a colossal living superorganism. That, in so many ways, has birthed life and as the ancient Greeks say - “from her - all things have issued.” And so I landed in Athens and set out walking to breathe in the magnificence of this ancient city and see the ordered splendour that they endowed to their civilisation. Yet, with one thing ticking over in my being - how did they come to an understanding that our planet was a living being? Then it hit me … A cat has kittens, a dog has puppies, a cow has a calf, a sheep has a lamb and a goat has a kid. Also, a bear has a cub and a horse has a foal … and they all come from a Mother. Then when I looked around me - in the street - I saw all of these people - men, and women, elderly, and teenagers and children - and they too - all came from a mother … so then the Greeks must have looked at their navel and their belly button and remembered that this is where they were connected to their mother, their grandmother and great grandmother …and in their mind traced back through the family tree and finally they must have deduced that in the mists of time - somehow, somewhere - their bodies must have come from mother earth - because - as in the introduction of this program I mentioned that we are made of the 3 main elements with the sun representing fire to show the four forces of nature. Now when I relate this to the Aotearoan Maori - a great many of them revere Papatuanuku. Quite astounding really - because when in their company all I have to do is mention Papatuanuku in a context of food, water, wind, fish whatever - I manage to get their focussed attention and a wonderful conversation ensues. And to anyone who understands Maori Lore - the belly button and umbilical cord to them is one of the most sacred connections they have back to source. They call it Whakapapa. Maori who have an oral language - have another unique way of singing their connection to source and so they sing their lineage - or bloodline to their babies - pe`pi and children, tamariki - that by the time the baby is 4 or 5 they know their lineage perfectly - completely and this takes them back via the 7 canoes, their waka that they sailed a thousand years ago - from Hawaiki - their mystical departure place within the Pacific ocean - (moana) and at a very basic level - they have a greater sense of belonging and a connection to a/the source. So this was part of my journey into Greece. I also visited Delphi - where the oracle was a very significant part of how the Greeks divined the future - This is where the rounded temple of Athena sat with the rectangular temple of Apollo. Two very different structures. Also, Delphi is known as the navel of the world - the navel of Gaia, such were the clairvoyants of that day able to see clearly - and for a certain amount of time - they nearly brought about a golden age - one that talks of Pericles and Athens. Also over a very small aperture of time so many great beings incarnated into the small Greek landmass that also straddled Western Turkey where the splendour of the 2nd Acropolis only to Athens was built at Pergamon during the Hellenic period and just 170 kilometres further south is the ruins of the once majestic splendour of Ephesus and one of the 7 Wonders of the World - the Temple of Artemis and the Sacred Feminine. Note the ancients knew about subtle energy. Our planet has energy lines and nodal points just like with acupuncture meridians. The British called them Ley Lines - Stonehenge, Glastonbury, the Great Pyramids of Egypt and many Cathedrals of Europe are situated along these Universal Lines of Invisible Force. They are in all countries, here in NZ too, right in Auckland. I would like to finish this little Greek, Maori discourse by mentioning Pythagoras one of the more mystical philosophers of ancient times when it is purported that when we sit really still and are in a quiet meditative state - we can hear the music of the spheres and the planets all spinning. For it was he who originally intuited that our planet was round. That some planets are larger than others - and all spin and hum to a series of musical notes - and thus when sitting and listening to all these planets are part of a musical sound system - a symphony if you will … that we still today are not aware of. We are beings of this planet awakening to a higher consciousness So here we are today living on our magnificent turning, living world atlas - of 4 seasons - that every 6 months tilts away from the sun until 182 days later - incomprehensibly turn back to another season of warmth and light - all in ordered splendour - whilst below on the planet floor and at sea level, the vegetable, animal and human kingdoms draw sustenance from the 4 elements of earth, water, air and fire that keeps all species proliferating whilst hidden within the web of life, our planet’s mysterious temperature thermostat embed in the atmosphere and connected to countless other physical conditions keeps this giant super organism in stasis - and balance - enabling all life to magnificently stay homeostatically alive in relationship to a tightly coupled sublime - life support system. So yes … we have to reconfigure our consciousness - our awareness of who we are … for there is a saying that the purpose for existence is to find out the purpose for existence … as to who we are - and that we are spiritual beings having an earth experience - here to fulfill our need to live gracefully as a global family awakening to our unknown potential, whilst in a world that is heaving in anxiety and un-fulfillment. The Awakening Earth This is our time and our incarnation to divine who we are and look within - knowing that we are surrounded in all 6 directions by infinity, coiling with suns through deep dimensions of time. It’s also our time to storm the inner self and recognise that we have been like dormant seeds nested under the ground and being like Gods of limitation, awaiting a new metaphor for ascension and to now burst out of our dark cocoon of unknowingness into the sunlight of a totally new day. Even more so - to ignite our innermost expression as embryo Gods and realise that every baby born into this realm is an energy bundle of exponential potential and love. If there is one thing that we’ve learned from global mainstream media is we’ve been conditioned and desensitised at the same time - being boxed into something like a self-limiting 6 sided cube or more precisely a rectangle - when at soul level we need to increase and extend our aura of consciousness that surrounds us all - to that of the fullness of an expanding sphere and see more degrees of arc and dimensionally as well … with 360 degrees of perspective in every direction, both horizontally and vertically. Pushing out the barriers. As we simultaneously - look deeply within as well. Sure - from our first breath in this lifetime we came in full of passion and imagination … our aim … extend the invisible envelope that surrounds our being … our auric field.   But, that was for many of us during the last century - now we are realising that life for us is potent and full of possibilities … Now today, with instantaneous connection to nearly every human on earth we are only a moment away from a family smile and of a loved one - we are only a couple of degrees of separation and the way forward is to share the good and to spread that which will empower us as we realise our connection to 7.8 billion other possibilities - all endeavoring to find their way in life, where we can grow into the light of our own true self. https://www.ourplanet.org/original-site/gaia.html  “Remember - when you were young … you shined like the sun - Shine on you crazy diamond …” Roger Waters of Pink Floyd when he once happily wrote ‘Wish you were here’ THAT YES, we do need to learn much, more about inner discipline and what that signifies and even more about loving our neighbour. Also, to remember our roots as sovereign beings yet realise that we are all neighbours and that goodwill has to flow over all borders in the spirit of cooperation and collaboration. One planet - one earth - from the grass roots up! ADDENDUM: You may wonder why there is no ‘recent’ emphasis on Climate Change and especially the so-called driver Global Warming on the front page of this web site. Well, originally when I started broadcasting in late 2003 I was very keen to be the Global Warming radio program for NZ. Those who remember will be aware that in 2006 icebergs could be seen from the eastern coast of New Zealand's South Island, even from the hills around Christchurch. However, we have had no such increase in icebergs since then. https://edition.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/11/25/iceberg.newzealand/index.html  Yes - the glaciers in NZ’s Southern Alps are still receding and melting, the waters around the NZ coastline are warming especially in summer and as I always finish my hot shower with a cold shower every time I bathe - I notice especially this year that the water is not really cold but nearly lukewarm, because the water pipes that are in the ground coming to my home are showing that the ground is definitely warming. These three pointers are very serious. However, in this radio program, I call out that there are two other very problematic situations affecting the atmospheric envelope that surrounds our planet. These are geoengineering that includes solar radiation management, or SRM, ... SRM techniques include stratospheric aerosols, reflective ... composed of metallic aluminum, aluminum oxide and barium titanate and strontium. The other, is the use of electronic manipulation of the ionosphere by transmitting radio waves up into the atmosphere. It’s also called Weather wars and Frequency wars and also known as HAARP frequencies. The US is definitely doing this so are China and Russia. This is very serious - however you will never get Ecologists and Environmentalists to sit down and go through the science of what is happening with these two terrible technologies that have been forced upon us - the human species. As for academics and intellectuals in our universities - their job seems to come before any other moral or ethical considerations. https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/ These two subjects are covered by this radio program and you can access them by looking at the ’slider’ on the front page. This state of affairs is a very sad and serious indictment by those in power and until ‘the swamp’ in the higher echelons of Governments globally, are collectively ‘drained’ - these deceitful and insidious acts will continue to the detriment of the biosphere, all biota and especially our children of today and tomorrow. I played this wonderful song: Lost in a Lost WorldThe Moody Blues Seventh Sojourn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80nUhHofw0U I woke up today, I was cryingLost in a lost world'Cause so many people are dyingLost in a lost worldSome of them are living an illusionBounded by the darkness of their mindsIn their eyes it's nation against nation, against nationWith racial pride sad hearts they hideThinking only of themselvesThey shun the light (Some of them shun the light)They think they're right (Some of them think they're right)Living in their empty shells (Some live in their empty shells)Oh, can you see their world is crashing? (So many people)Crashing down around their feet, angry people in the streetTelling them they've had their fill (So many people)Of politics that wound and kill (So many people)Grow the seeds of evolution (So many people)Revolution never won, it's just another form of gunTo do again what they have done (So many people)With all our brothers' youngest sons (So many people)Everywhere you go you'll see them searchingEverywhere you turn you'll feel the painEveryone is looking for the answerWell, look again, come on, my friendLove will find them in the endCome on, my friend, we've got to bendOn our knees and say a prayerOh, can you feel the world is pining? (So many people)Pining for someone who really cares enough to share his loveWith all of us, so we can be an ever loving family (So many people)Have we forgotten we're all children? (So many people)Children from a family tree that's longer than a centipedeStarted long ago when you and I were only love (So many people)I woke up today, I was cryingLost in a lost world'Cause so many people are dyingLost in a lost worldLost in a lost world(So many people, so many people)(People) Lost in a lost world(So many people, so many people)(People) Lost in a lost world Songwriters: Michael Pinder   Wishing you a Merry Christmas and an empowering and fulfilling 2021   After this 1st half on the sacredness of our living planet, I then reviewed the last years radio interviews that went to air on GreenplanetFM.com The best quick synopsis of the interviews can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/c/OurPlanet/videos  I then went on to mention the important issues that each interview covered, when I realised that if I gave each kernel an in depth insight that was expressed - all these together, would be so staggering for the listener to absorb that I instead ‘pulled my punches’ and - toned it down - so that for the first comer to the program to not be blown out with this information - solely because the ‘diluted’ MSM has not honestly educated the planetary public of the issues and challenges that we face. I wish to exhort and implore you to take some time out to play this below video. Because, what is happening is that the controllers of the City of London are endeavouring to lock down all of the disunited Kingdom as they see that Trump in America is slowly and methodically taking down the Deep State in Washington DC and it will not be long before he crosses the Atlantic and takes on the England and the EU - and drains the corruption there too. Check 27 minutes in and 40 minutes as well - but please take your valuable time to become savvy of the distortions that we are living around. https://www.ukcolumn.org/ukcolumn-news/uk-column-news-christmas-special-review-year  I finished by calling All Crew of Spaceship Earth to ‘action stations.’ That we have to take care of the ships embedded operating systems like air conditioning, refrigeration, water and food producing facilities and that in the days and years ahead ‘Unity Consciousness’ is the only way we can take care of today and tomorrow. Meantime we at GreenplanetFM, wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and especially 2021 - because, we will have much to do to freely live as hearted centered beings - navigating time and space.

An absolutely fascinating chat with Sonny Natanielu, about the revival of traditional Polynesian voyaging methods using waka (canoes) that go back several hundred years. It was a tremendous insight into the importance of the ocean and significance of waka (canoes). Maori has its roots in times past, when voyaging waka forged the links between the ancestral homeland of Hawaiki and New Zealand and waka also linked together all of the peoples of Polynesia. The skills these pacific ancestors required to build and navigate these vessels across the Pacific using only natural materials were beyond imagination.
