AAG.org.nz - the Agriculture Action Group has been founded across New Zealand to push back and question Government intrusion, especially when it has not been announced in the Governments manifestos. This is all about the lack of consultation and enforced regulations and fees at a localised level - via NZ Councils on how we use our land.  These requirements are now being foisted on an unsuspecting NZ public. This has all been arranged and 'agreed upon’ with the United Nations and is known as   Agenda21 & Agenda 2030. In addition to the above is the inclusion from Davos in Switzerland, of the World Economic Forum’s  'Great Reset’   'Where we are told 'that by 2030 we will own nothing and we'll all be happy!' That together these two models are going to be superimposed over all nations that will lead to the long planned for NEW WORLD ORDER. These words were uttered by US President George Herbert Bush when he first mentioned them back in September, 1990.   Now, today, there is an urgent need to ask, why are these two critical global ecological and economical initiatives being inserted into everyday life especially in the Western World and here in NZ. Note that recent NZ governments have made no effort at all to announce this in their political manifestos or brought any of this to the NZ public's notice via MainStream Media. Now farmers in particular are finding that they are  being regulated and having to fulfil certain conditions having had no local community input from Councils or Central Government - prior to what is happening today. Where once ‘we the people’ elected servants to act on our behalf. There was always open dialogue and consultation, with meetings and written submissions. Resulting in questions being answered so that the  electorate were ‘ kept in the loop, but in this interview we hear that farmers, essentially the backbone of the economy of our vast rural sector, have been sidelined. Instead they have found themselves controlled by bylaws and legislation that has been enacted with no consultation or their knowing.   What we are learning is that there has been a huge level of secrecy in relation to how these ‘programs' have been developed and deployed. Though, certain astutely placed ‘buzz’ words have been used to soften the story line, when finally put under the microscope we learn that, ‘we' are being told what to do and what's to happen and that we must ... comply. Agenda21 & Agenda2030 along with the Great Reset are a 'top down game plan' for planet earth. However, there is an urgent necessity to have 'grass roots' input from communities on the ground that takes localised situations and conditions into consideration and be acknowledged. Not a ‘one size fits all’.  But, this has not happened.  Yes, we are very aware of all the many serious environmental challenges within the biosphere that have to be acknowledged and dealt with. As well as the completely unsustainable failing 'casino economic system' that we are ensnared in - that is essentially corrupt to the core.   But, if we as a democratic country based on the Rule of Law - believe in an honest system of Government, are not allowed to have a country wide discussion with local town hall meetings and full media coverage - especially at 6 pm ‘ every' night - we will realise that our long held cherished freedoms - have been hijacked. This we can not allow.  Question; did you give permission to our Prime Minister to make this decision that she made in New York in 2019?   See video below  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XsUV7pwSRg&t=448s The Interview: Listen, this is critical information …  too much to write here. AAG.org.nz    The Agriculture Action Group. What is happening or about to happen is all an extension of the Fourth Industrial Revolution - an omnipresent  computerised wireless world - where we are immersed in escalating oscillating frequencies 24/7.  This wireless radiation coming from both ground towers and the 40,000 plus 5G satellites that Elon Musk and SpaceX are deploying as of now. These technologies will be overlaying and bombarding all of nature and every square millimetre of the biospheres surface.      Notice with spokesman Klaus Schwab of the Great Reset who oversees the World Economic Forum’s  videos - that no ‘love' is mentioned in them - that there is a lack of heart in the narrative. Yes, they point out what the problems are - however all the answers to our planetary problems are coming from the top of the pyramid of power. That they are not coming up from the grass roots, from you and I at a localised level. What we want to hear and see is that we are included in this narrative and that there is heart in this equation.  Question …  is there any warm joy in what the Great Reset is going to do for you?  Time to mobilise - share this …. Some Talking Points of the Great Reset: A global omnipresent digital society with zero cash. The absence of small business owners - only Corporations.  Living in Smart Cities totally connected to overhead satellites. Unable to save organic seeds, or rainwater off one's own roof. Decreasing access to the great outdoors. 24/7 Surveillance and zero privacy. Breathing questionable air. Drinking fluoridated and chlorinated water.  Eating Factory and Industrial Food - non organic - no life force. Submitting to edicts around health requirements - e.g Covid.  Sourcing information via search engines that censor. Enforced ‘Gag' Orders when employed by the system. The lack of Love and connection within the Community.  These above statements need to be addressed ASAP.  More to come.

In this podcast episode, I take a break from the technical topics to which my readers and podcast listeners are accustomed. I wanted to interview someone from outside normal safety circles, someone that can bring a unique perspective on the values we want to hold as safety professionals: integrity, honesty, teamwork, never-quit attitude. Please be sure to listen to the interview as it is not transcribed here. Please read more about Kris below. Kris Paronto Kris Paronto - “Tanto” as he is affectionately known in security contracting circles - is a former Army Ranger from 2nd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment and a private security contractor who has deployed throughout South America, Central America, the Middle East, and North Africa. He also worked with the US Government’s Global Response Staff conducting low profile security in high threat environments throughout the world. Mr. Paronto was part of the CIA annex security team that responded to the terrorist attack on the US Special Mission in Benghazi, Libya, September 11th, 2012, helping to save over 20 lives while fighting off terrorists from the CIA Annex for over 13 hours. Mr. Paronto’s story is told in the book “13 Hours” written by Mitchell Zuckoff and his five surviving annex security team members. The Patriot's Creed When Kris began talking with civilians about his experiences fighting the terrorist attack on the US State Department Special Mission Compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012, he was surprised at how often people told him that the story of his extraordinary battle gave them the courage to face tough times in their everyday lives. "The odds were stacked against us that night but the truth is that we refused to quit and we beat them with faith, teamwork, and the principles that were first instilled in me when I joined the Army. You can find those in the Rangers Creed and the Army Values," he says, "and you don't have to be a Special Operations soldier to use them." In The Patriot's Creed, Kris uses the seven core Army Values that all soldiers learn in Basic Combat Training, and the experiences of other servicemen and women and First Responders, to explain how anyone can improve themselves, the world around them, and live a heroic life. The stakes are dramatic for the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to fight for America, and too many of their acts of courage and honor are unknown. The examples of their persistence and discipline will be inspiring to anyone facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles. At a time of national polarization, Kris draws attention to values all readers can share and use, and to the honor, integrity, and courage of true patriots who have gone to great lengths to protect and serve. They embody the best of us and make Kris Paronto proud to be an American soldier. The Ranger Way Thousands of people have heard Kris "Tanto" Paronto speak about his experiences in Benghazi on September 11, 2012. But before he was a security contractor, Tanto was a US Army Ranger from the 2nd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment. Rangers are trained to lead by being pushed to their physical and mental limits so that they can perform against impossible odds in punishing situations. In THE RANGER WAY, Tanto shares stories from his training experiences that played a role in his team's heroic response in Benghazi as he explains the importance of demanding excellence when you commit to improving your life. He shows you how to define your mission, set goals that are in alignment with your values, and develop a battle plan that will maximize your chances of success. You will learn why you should never quit and why that is different from never failing. Tanto uses his experiences in Basic and Ranger Training to explore how to deal with mistakes and disappointment like a leader, accept responsibility, and turn every obstacle into an opportunity for growth. You will learn why being of service to others, and being willing to sacrifice, will help you succeed, and how the power of humility, strength, faith, and brotherhood will sustain you on the road to accomplishing your mission. 13 Hours The harrowing, true account from the brave men on the ground who fought back during the Battle of Benghazi. 13 HOURS presents, for the first time ever, the true account of the events of September 11, 2012, when terrorists attacked the US State Department Special Mission Compound and a nearby CIA station called the Annex in Benghazi, Libya. A team of six American security operators fought to repel the attackers and protect the Americans stationed there. Those men went beyond the call of duty, performing extraordinary acts of courage and heroism, to avert tragedy on a much larger scale. This is their personal account, never before told, of what happened during the thirteen hours of that now-infamous attack.

On episode 27 of the Maximise Potential Podcast we interviewed Jora Gill, a globally renowned CTO, who provided us with an incredible insight into the approach he has taken to maximise his career and today, we are very pleased to join Jora once again. In today's interview, we gain an exclusive insight into how Jora keep his thinking fresh, gains new ideas and perspectives which ultimately enable him to make extremely effective decisions. We explore the pressures that are put upon Senior Managers and discuss how decision making approaches need to differ throughout the short, medium and long term and how each of these play an integral role in enabling you to develop a highly-motivated team, and by doing so reach your long-term organisational goal. I feel fortunate that within this interview, we've captured a CTO willing to open up about the issues that he is facing on a daily basis, explaining how he overcomes these and advances his organisation at the same time. Key messages from Jora: Get passionate about your goals and objectives at work When others see your passion they will become more motivated to help you achieve your goals When making decisions, don't be scared to invite others in to help you see different perspectives Creating a set of long term objectives is essential if you wish to be consistent within your decision making If your team only connect with you at a logical level, ask yourself what it would take to get that connection to be at an emotional level Additional notes and resources (just click on the links for more information): BOOK: "First Break All The Rules" (Wikipedia page) INTERVIEW: Listen to Jora's first interview with Maximise Potential Follow and Connect with the Maximise Potential Podcast on TWITTER: TWITTER: @MaximiseMyLife Rate the Maximise Potential Podcast on i-Tunes: http://bit.ly/itunes-maxpotential Interview Transcription: Transcript: Jora Gill (CTO) - Making the right decisions in business (Max#41) Sponsors: Jenrick Recruitment - specialists in Engineering, IT and Commercial recruitment services Xerxes Music
