Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concisepage Running Sheet: Balancing Heritage And Progress With The Adelaide Lord Mayor 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:03:50 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week this week is a Penfolds Club Port. This was chosen because I had recently met the Lord Mayor at Colonel William Light's birthday celebration at the Adelaide Town Hall, an annual event since 1859 that honours Adelaide's founder. On April 27 each year, a group of people invited by the Lord Mayor, commemorate Light's influence on the city's layout with Australian Port, symbolically drunk from a historic silver bowl. Curiously, though, we each had separate slices of a special fruit cake and separate glasses of wine instead of sharing from the bowl. I asked the Lord Mayor why that was? 00:10:03 Adelaide Lord Mayor, Dr Jane Lomax-Smith AM Here we are, crafting a very special 400th episode of The Adelaide Show, where we've been shining a spotlight on South Australia's passionate people for 11 intriguing years. Today, we're joined by Lord Mayor Dr Jane Lomax-Smith AM, at a time when the echoes of Adelaide's pioneering spirits are being tested by the drumbeats of modern development. Together, we'll delve into how we can cherish and protect our city's rich heritage while steering towards progressive change, a topic sparked by the recent uproar over The Cranker's near-demolition. Dr. Lomax-Smith brings a wealth of experience from her dual roles as a former state minister and our current Lord Mayor, promising insights that bridge our past with the future. Welcome. This interview has extra signficance for me because it completes the trifecta of having had three Lord Mayors (everything inside me wants to say Lords Mayor) on our podcast. Stephen Yarwood got the ball rolling by drawing the ire of Peter Goers who lambasted him and us and gave us some profile, then Martin Haese was part of the program, playing some guitar, too, and today we have the honour of your company as we mark this milestone episode. What is it like, being in a role that is often called upon to mark special occasions and anniversaries, even though such things are purely arbitrary? When we began this podcast enterprise in 2013, we were motivated by the ubiquitous, lazy linking of Adelaide with the word, boring. We fought a strong fight and discovered that much of that slander had diminished by episode 80, which is when we marked our transition from Another Boring Thursday Night In Adelaide to our current name of The Adelaide. Do you think we have shaken off that connection? Do you find it still lingers? A psychologist we interviewed, Alexandra Frost from Attuned Psychology, noted that people are largely in control of how “boring” their surroundings are. You could be just as bored in New York as Adelaide, if you stayed in your room and moped about. On the other hand, I often find that some of the criteria used to judge a city boring, relate to a desperate need for artificial, external stimulation, rather than taking responsibility for finding intrinsinc motivation for engaging with one's surroundings. Furthermore, sometimes unique character gets marked down in the race to have the same stimuli that other towns have. How does a town craft and “own” confidence in its own skin? At Colonel Light's birthday celebration, you spoke passionately about the need to get the balance right between preservation and progress. What criteria do you believe should be used to determine which older buildings in Adelaide are worth preserving? The recent controversy surrounding The Cranker has highlighted tensions between heritage preservation and urban development. What lessons can be learned from this situation? I've performed stand up comedy at The Cranker, so it has a soft spot for me but many of us are not quite ready to relax about its future, given the risks of “accidental damage” during construction, such as the potential for a wrecking ball to inadvertently damage a heritage building. This is the dilemma for people protecting heritage vs developers – once we have lost what was there it is gone, whereas a developer can easily rebuild or reshape their construction. Is this just an age old source of anxiety that heritage proponents just have to live with? Prepare yourself. This will be the longest question ever constructed: The Cranker is special to me because I have performed there. The old Bank Of Adelaide building was special because my dad and grandpa worked on it with their business, Field and Davis Constructions (in fact, my dad, Barry Davis, tells me he swung in there one Saturday afternoon and installed the three flag poles on the roof, all by himself). Other parts are or have been significant because we might have seen The Beatles wave from a balcony, or a premiership team parade through streets, etc. I wonder if we can reflect on the ephemeral nature of what it means to protect heritage items. This question hit me while listening to US comedian and commentator, Bill Maher, interview some children and he was surprised that very few of them had even heard of Elvis Presley and almost none of them thought there was any reason to be interested in his story. So, when we pass on, the connection between our lived experience and The Beatles on a balcony, passes on too, either with us, or when our following generation passes on. Deep in the DNA of the Heritage Inclination, is there a sense that we are vainly trying to fight the realisation that time and memories pass quickly, like sand through our fingers, and that, ultimately, it is a losing battle or one of little everlasting value because nothing is everlasting? Would you indulge me in an imagination exercise? There was once a majestic building on the corner of Rundle Street and Frome Road called the Grand Central Hotel, where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and many other illuminaries stayed during visits to Adelaide. It was built in 1910 on the site of the former York Hotel and was demolished in 1975-76 to make way for the Hungry Jacks car park. How would that part of the city be different today, had that building been maintained? And, yes, we could play this game with many other buildings; I'd just love to hear you think out loud about this. The nature of city-based employment and engagement does seem to be fast-paced, head down, etc, which is why traversing these streets in the extremes of temperature can be trying. I am often reminded of Lovin' Spoonful's lyrics: Hot town, summer in the cityBack of my neck gettin' dirty and grittyBeen down, isn't it a pity?Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the cityAll around, people lookin' half deadWalkin' on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head When we are in commuter, survival mode, I guess we just don't have head space for appreciating the environment. But, have our town planners and landlords also gotten some things wrong by not providing for human spaces between the buildings? Scientists tell us that just being surrounded by greenery in nature, actively helps calm our nervous systems. Do you think there's a subliminal effect we get from built environs? If someone is thinking about moving to the city to live, what sort of mindset would allow them to benefit the most from city life and contribute the most? 00:44:03 Musical Pilgrimage In the Musical Pilgrimage, we feature Valley of the Rattling Bones by The Saucermen. We've previously played The Saucermen right back in our early days with One Day Dry in episode 13, and The Ghost Of Johnny Cash in episode 28. In 2004, The Saucermen released their first original EP “Valley of the Rattling Bones”, penned by the lead singer and rhythm guitarist, Steve O'Malley, and and inspired by a co-worker's warning. It set the wheels in motion for the band to write more original tunes. The guys love this song and love playing it and I think it fits for this episode because you could argue that Adelaide, like any city that's been around for a while, is a valley of bones, to some degree, when you consider all the people whose lives have intersected with it. And, secondly, we've just been talking about how some of our early buildings have really stood the test of time and this song is a musical equivalent of that. Hope you enjoy it. And if you hear this in time, you can catch The Saucermen (along with Weekend Rage and The Overits) on Saturday, August 31 at The Cranker. Tickets via Try Booking.

The Corporation Of The City Of London•     City of London, municipal corporation and borough, London, England. Sometimes called “the Square Mile,” it is one of the "33" boroughs that make up the large metropolis of Greater London.   The borough lies on the north bank of the River Thames between the Temple Bar memorial pillar (commemorating the old Temple Bar gate) and the base of Tower Hill. The City Corporation is Britain's oldest local government; it has the status of a county, with powers that exceed those of London's "32" other boroughs, notably the control of its own police force. “The City,” as it is known, is only a component, relatively small in area, of the larger urban area known as London. Its area corresponds closely to that of the ancient city from which modern London has grown. The City belongs geographically to the historic county of Middlesex, but its special status and privileges gave it autonomy from that county for most of its history.   Britannica     The Latin motto of the City is Domine dirige nos, which translates as "Master, direct (guide) us". It appears to have been adopted in the 17th century, as the earliest record of it is in 1633. A banner of the arms (the design on the shield) is flown as a flag of the City.     14 dragon statues guarding the city of London. Many other depictions of Dragons adorn various buildings. Some inside, & some on the outer structure. Two at the main gates of the city. The crest of the city has the two dragons with the white shield and a Red Cross, & sword. The cross, & sword resemble upside down crosses. The official explanation says the crest is an homage to St. George was depicted in a fictional story saving a princess from a dragon. The story was loosely based on   St. George being a Templar Knight, & is often depicted in armor riding a stallion.   The Knight's Templar flags were also white with red crosses.   https://londonist.com/london/secret/dragon     Must Watch!   Occult Symbolism On Buildings In The Corporation Of The City Of London   https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2yv8x4     Same Video On YT   https://youtu.be/M9eHVWMF3XU     Another Great Video Showing More Symbolism In The City   https://youtu.be/8lMpTrgqt0M     More Symbolism   https://andrewgough.co.uk/london/       Gog, & Magog Symbolism In London   https://londonist.com/2016/01/gog-and-magog-who-are-they-and-what-do-they-have-to-do-with-london     We learned earlier that the Corporation City Of London is a, or the, most important city in the world for finance. Not to mention, a tax haven, & overseer of other British-controlled tax havens like the Cayman Islands, Jersey, Guernsey, the Isle of Man, the BVI, Gibraltar, & Bermuda.     Elite City of London Taxhavens   American banks moved their assets to "the City" to escape regulations.   Secrecy Jurisdictions, Cayman Islands...   https://youtu.be/-YgFDZNXPyg     The Templar Temple happens to be located in the Corporation City Of Government. The very place they ran their banking empire. Also, remember that one other other main hubs for The Templars was in Switzerland. Still famous for its banks. Not to mention, suspiciously the home of the Bank For International Settlements. Explain BIS. Like the Templars, the Corporation of The City Of London is exempt from laws that others have to go by. The connections are too much to ignore.     List of banks in London   http://www.ukcities.co.uk/City_of_London/Financial_Services/Banks_and_Building_Societies/     City of London ‘set for exemption from new global tax rules'   https://www.cityam.com/city-of-london-set-for-exemption-from-new-global-tax-rules/     Another connection•     It's well known, & even admitted in some circles that Freemasonry is the offspring of The Templars. Freemasonry is predominant in the square mile. The honorable Lord Mayor of the city is closely aligned with Freemasonry, & many Lord Mayors have been Masons. As many as 5000 Freemasons March in the yearly parade celebrating the election of the new Lord Mayor. The alleged oldest Masonic Lodge is located in the city. Author Stephen Knight wrote two detailed books about the influence of Freemasonry in London. He focused especially on the various police forces, & how Masonry had created a true good ole boy network which allowed numerous criminal acts to go unpunished.

It is located in the wider Temple area, near the Royal Courts of Justice, and within the City of London.   https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner_Temple     Bar Association   http://theftbydeception.blogspot.com/2010/02/bar-association-history-who-owns-us.html?m=1     "Leading justice scholars in the system of the UK are well aware that ....the Temple Church as the cradle of Common Law"   https://knightstemplarorder.org/heritage/templar-magna-carta/     The Conspiracy About The Bar Association     Quote:   "The government and legal system of the United States, Canada, Austraila, New Zealand and of course Britain, is totally controlled by the Crown. I have also stated that the British Monarch is not the Crown. The Crown is the Inner City of London, which is an independent State in London belonging to the Vatican system. It is a banking cartel which has a massive system around and beneath, which hides its true power.
The City is in fact the Knights Templar Church, also known as the Crown Temple or Crown Templar, and is located between Fleet Street and Victoria Embankment. The Temple grounds are also home to the Crown Offices at Crown Office Row. The Crown Temple controls the Global'Legal'system, including those in the United States, Canada,Australia, and much more; this is because all Bar Associations are franchises of the
International Bar Association at the Inns of Court at Crown Temple based at Chancery Lane in London.
   All Bar Associations are franchises of the Crown and all Bar Attorneys/ Barristers throughout the world pledge a solemn oath to the Temple, even though many may not be aware that this is what they are doing. Bar Association 'licensed' Solicitors / Barristers must keep to their Oath, Pledge and terms of allegiance to the Crown Temple if they are to be "called to the Bar" and work in the legal profession. The ruling Monarch is also subordinate to the Crown Temple, this as been so since the reign of King John in the 13th century when Royal Sovereignty was transferred to the Crown Temple and, through this, to the Roman Church.
King John 1167-1216 is the key to this deception."     "The present Queen of England is not the "Crown," as we have all been led to believe. Rather, it is the Bankers and Attornies (Attorneys) who are the actual Crown or Crown Temple. The Monarch aristocrats of England have not been ruling sovereigns since the reign of King John, circa 1215. All royal sovereignty of the old British Crown since that time has passed to the Crown Temple in Chancery.
The U.S.A. is not the free and sovereign nation that our federal government tells us it is. If this were true, we would not be dictated to by the Crown Temple through its bankers and attornies. The U.S.A. is controlled and manipulated by this private foreign power and our unlawful Federal U.S. Government is their pawnbroker.
The bankers and Bar Attorneys in the U.S.A. are a franchise in oath and allegiance to the Crownat Chancery - the Crown Temple Church and its Chancel located at Chancery Lane - a manipulative body of elite bankers and attorners from the independent City of London who violate the law in America by imposingfraudulent "legal"
- but totally unlawful - contracts on the American people. The banks Rule the Temple Church and the Attorners carry out their Orders by controlling their victim's judiciary."   "The legal system (judiciary) of the U.S.A. is controlled by the CrownTemple from the independent and sovereign City of London. The private Federal Reserve System, which issues fiat U.S. Federal Reserve Notes, is financially owned and controlled by the Crown from Switzerland, the home and legal origin for the charters of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the World Trade Organization, and most importantly, the Bank of International Settlements.
Even Hitler respected his Crown bankers by not bombing Switzerland. The Bank of International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland [Vatican bank] controls all the central banks of the G7 nations.
He who controls the gold rules the world."   "The people who comprise the citizenry of a state are recognised only within natural and common law as is already established by God's Law. Only a State Citizen can be a party to an action within a State Court.
A common state citizen cannot be recognised in that court because he doesn't legally exist in Crown Chancery Courts. In order to be recognised in their State Courts, the common man must be converted to that of a corporate or legal entity (a legal fiction).
Now you know why they create such an entity using all capital letters within Birth Certificates issued by the State. They convert the common lawful man of God into a fictional legal entity subject to Administration by State Rules, Orders and Codes (there is no "law" within any Rule or Code). Of course, Rules, Codes, etc. do not apply to the lawful common man of the Lord of lords, so the man with inherent Godly law and rights must be converted into a legal "Person" of fictional "status" (another legal term) in order for their legal - but completely unlawful - State Judiciary (Chancery Courts) to have authority over him."   The CrownTemple

At the start, Jacques prompts me to say, have a pen and paper ready, stating not to believe all that he says. That he too, is endeavouring to work it all out, through intense research into old records and books on the web etc all about the ‘forgotten past. Saying that we have no understanding or even knowledge of what has come to pass. Because things are not as they are and as a researcher of both historical events as well as new technologies that are released on today's society, we can not necessarily believe the status quo. It starts with Tim mentioning his interview 5 weeks ago of Dan Hermansen - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guzOgNpZn1k - and the United Tribes flag of 1835 in early NZ, keeping Aotearoa NZ ‘as a free country’ and that King William the lV would have Great Britain protect it. However that flag was cunningly displaced by the Union Jack at the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, in 1840 - that contrary to what the Maori chiefs were aware of, New Zealand basically became a colony of Great Britain. Hence Hone Heke, the first Maori chief, to sign this Treaty, cut down the flag staff 4 times due to his disgust in which this Treaty was being administered.  That then, in the comments field of Dan’s interview was this - ‘The Auckland City Council is a Corporation listed on Dun and Bradstreet - So Tim did a web search and we find it in Wiki’ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dun_%26_Bradstreet   Also mentioned early in this interview was the British East India Company because it was an overseas extension of the British Government and was in many cases a ‘law unto itself’ where it cunningly introduced opium into China in 1825 that soon after, the Chinese addiction to opium expanded (to 4-12 million people).  So this opens the question who was this Company and who governed it?  As they had no apparent conscience. Yet, its flag was an ensign that was accepted by the British Government and Admiralty.   Adjusted for inflation, at its height, the company was worth $4.1 trillion. (Oct 17, 2018)  other searches suggest $7.9 trillion. Jacques, says he has worked for the Central Government in South Africa and in Local Government here in NZ and is horrified at what he believes to have found! Stating there are 2 fundamentals that are universal as it relates to the Law; in this case British Law. They are: 1) Contracts & 2) Jurisdictions Fundamentally all law is a contract A contract aims to control the behaviour / actions of two or more parties. Shortly after Jacques was born, the legal system in South Africa impelled his Dad to sign him away as a bonded surety to a ‘bankrupt franchise.’ Note that South Africa was part of the British Commonwealth until 1961 and rejoined again in 1994. Unbeknown to his Father, while he thought he was doing the right thing, apparently registering Jaques birth, and signing the birth certificate, was actually signing a contract; He made Jacques the surety to a bond in the ALL CAPITALS fictional name that the corporation had created to enslave Jacques for the rest of his life. This Corporation?    This will come later … ALL CAPITALS you ask? Yes, they use what is called Dog Latin, which is capitals or block letters. By the way, Dog Latin was used to trick and deceive back in the days when serfs could not understand what the more educated were able to control how Law was administered. Note The Latin alphabet started out as uppercase serifed letters known as Roman square capitals. Ancient Greek started off this way too. And it seems the legacy continues to this day; In the English language all capital writing is not a proper noun; A proper noun is the name of a man or woman, place or physical thing; That all capitalised name is not a proper noun and therefore not a name; For example a name used for an individual person, place, or organisation, spelled with an initial capital letter, e.g. Jane, London, and Greenpeace. Often contrasted with common nouns. Is it a lawful contract? No, because his Dad was never given full disclosure of what he was actually signing; So the birth certificates of everyone are traded on the capital markets and heaps of money is made from them, according to Karen Hudes, former World Bank lawyer.  (do your own research). ‘Everyone includes people who are born in countries like NZ, Australia - and very possibly Canada, and the USA plus UK. Is India and Pakistan? Research it. The Corporation establishes how much tax the child will pay over his or her lifetime and that birth certificate / bond is then traded on the capital markets;   Who is this Corporation and why does it trick parents into doing this? The answer to the why question is easy; control and trillions of dollars; But there is also a sinister reason, which he will come to later. But who is behind the Corporation? His research has shown that there is one massive Corporation; All the others are subdivisions of the main one; The biggest sub-division is the United States The corporation is known by a few names; Triple Crown; Tri-Regnum, Triple Tiara and Three-times Royal The Triple Crown was started as a testamentary trust in 1302 pursuant to the Papal Bull called Unam Sanctam, the Holy Singularity / Sanctified Unity; Pope Boniface VIII announced that he would depose King Philip IV of France if need be and issued the bull Unam Sanctam ('One Holy'), the most famous papal document of the Middle Ages, affirming the authority of the Pope as the heir of Peter and Vicar of Christ over all human authorities, spiritual and temporal.  (Bull = Decree or edict) Underlying the trust, is a global estate. The Pope claimed he owned all land, all flesh and all, wait for it… souls! All being part of the global estate. But surely the Pope had no say over the affairs of England? So did the Pope have control over King William the 4th when he said he would protect the NZ Maori Chiefs Freedoms in 1835? - even though the British were a Protestant country and had the largest seafaring Navy at that time.  Well, this is where things get interesting. So let’s go back to 1215 when King John was forced by the barons to sign the Magna Carta. What happened two years prior to that? Early on the 15 May 1213 King John went to the church of the Templars at Dover and there he knelt before Pandulph, the legate of the Pope, placed his crown in Pandulf's hands and took the oath of fealty to the Pope in Rome. Fealty is a feudal tenant / vassal’s sworn loyalty to a lord, in this case the Pope. King John also handed the legate a document stating that for the atonement of his sins against God and Church that he surrendered into the hands of Pope Innocent and his successors forever, the kingdoms of England and lordship of Ireland, to hold them henceforth as fiefs of the Holy See - the Pope. Many believe that John ceased being King when he laid his crown at the feet of a foreign priest;    So this is how the Pope claims he owns all land, But how does he own all flesh and all souls? Well, the ‘birth certificate’ is a contract remember? It is the commercial vessel which is floated upon the ocean of commerce. We are made to believe that that fictitious ALL CAPS name is our real name and as such we are made surety for the bond. But actually we have nothing to do with it and the so-called birth certificate contract is invalid because no full disclosure was given at the time it was signed or any time thereafter. So they are tricking all of us into believing we have to pay taxes and fines and rates when really it is all deception. But, because we pay it we contract to the Corporation. When we vote, for example, we are contracting with the Corporation and giving it legitimacy. We are given the illusion of a democracy, but there is really no democracy. It is simply another deception. How many believe that the Queen of England has anything to do with assenting to Acts of Parliament? Her title was changed and the Roman numeral of II removed and replaced by Queen Elisabeth 2nd If you don’t believe go and check out the NZ Governor General’s website. If a monarch’s Roman numeral, as appears in Queen Elizabeth II, does not appear in her name, they are no longer referring to her, but some fictitious entity. However, due to the fact that no full disclosure was given to our parents when they signed the birth certificate, the contract can be rescinded, which means the Pope does not lawfully own all flesh and ‘souls.’ The key to remove ourselves from this contract is to understand exactly how it was constructed, so we don’t get ourselves into trouble when we rescind it. The Triple Crown Corporation is made up of: The City of London in the City of London, which holds the land, law and banking and or monetary system. (Kensington and WhiteHall). The Vatican, which deals with the religious side of things and; Washington D.C. which was the completion of the Triple Crown, which is the enforcer / military might behind it. All the established nation-states were trans-migrated into corporations, which are the subdivisions of the Triple Crown. That he believes includes NZ & Australia. This was all supposedly done in the 1700’s - do your own research - it’s a quagmire  Jacques says if you go to the Securities and Exchange Commission website you will find the NZ and Australian governments there, of which he has screenshots. http://www.wakeupkiwi.com/new-zealand-corporate-government.shtml In NZ, most of our ministries, like the Ministry of Justice, NZ Police, Defence Force, Treasury, Ministry of Business Innovation & Employment, etc are all listed on the biggest business website in the world; Dun & Bradstreet as companies, with sales revenue. I have those screenshots too. So New Zealand and Australia seem to be very much part of this greater Triple Crown Corporation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dun_%26_Bradstreet - but do your own research as Wiki has been compromised for years.  Jacques sent an Official Information Act Request to Justice Minister Andrew Little asking if the Ministry of Justice is a company. He has 20 working days to respond. It has been 2 months and still no response from the Minister. Why? He has now referred the matter to the Ombudsman but found out that even the Office of the Ombudsman is listed on the Dun & Bradstreet website as a company with sales revenue of $6m. The reason Jacques is making such a fuss about this is because in our legal courts he is convinced they are not practising Law. He believes they are controlled by the Corporation to monetise we citizens (or the slaves) - because last time he checked the Ministry of Justice sales revenue in one year was $395m. Also if the Ministry is in fact a company, how can they administer justice, when there is a huge conflict of interest? How can a company or corporation be in charge of a country’s Justice system? If the NZ Treasury is a company, how can it control public funds? Our only saving grace, one would think is the old English Common Law but in 1986 the Constitution Act removed most of it. One has to wonder why? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_Act_1986  - But, was this the full account of what happened? And then in 1988 the Imperial Laws Application Act brought it all back. Since then many amendments have been made. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Laws_Application_Act_1988  - Again this is so messy - what can we believe? As Jacques has not had the time to investigate all of this yet -  He has brought together a few bright minds to assist him - this is ongoing. You see the English Common Law includes Magna Carta which was designed to protect individual rights. But, the Corporation does not want its slaves to have rights. Is that why when one becomes a barrister or lawyer or solicitor one has to swear an oath to the NZ Law Society and at the ceremony all have to bow to the judges? When you bow to someone they become your master. How can a lawyer fight one’s case properly if he is subject to his master. Some believe that lawyers are there to ensure you contract with the court. As soon as you contract - you lose your English Common Law and inalienable rights as man and woman. Then they can do to you as they please. Ask the Ministry of Justice about that and they refuse to comment. If any of your listeners would like to support the work that Jacques is doing, or want to be released from this system, you can contact me on trrassoc@gmail.com So the point that Jacques has been endeavouring to make here, is that a system was created to enslave us for our entire lives; a system which subtly robs us of the life God (or evolution) (or both) - gave you and your inalienable rights. Jacques mentions it is also a system which now believes there are too many people on this Earth and that we need to be culled, through unsafe technology like 5G, vaccines, nano tech, chips that includes  ruining the income of billions. That he has never consented to be controlled by this system and he does not consent now. Nor should you. He is preparing to throw off the shackles and so should you. People Around the World are Waking Up to this Deception. Jacques reminds us, if we don’t stand together the 1% will totally control us, because currently we have no rights. Look at Victoria in Australia. Do they have any rights? Look at how people are being grabbed by their throats. They have caused no harm to anyone, but are being treated worse than animals by the so-called police and no one lifts a finger. So Tim says - “NZers get serious and savvy and start to challenge the authorities on this and similar issues. This is what a participative Democracy is.” We have been conned into looking after the ‘I’ when the ‘WE’ is our safety. The Corporation does everything to isolate us from one another, so they can control the WE, because they fear us. They are after all the 1% and we are the 99%. Jacques says … do yourself a favour and switch off the mainstream media. They spread what they are told to spread and will brainwash you into their narrative every time. If you want to get out of the system, you need to get rid of the propaganda. In South Africa the Zulus refer to Ubuntu. For me it means we are all connected and we all need each other to thrive and survive. We have to stand against those that want to harm us or rob us of Ubuntu. If we don’t we, as the collective will be taken, one by one, like the protesters in Victoria Australia and lose everything our forefathers fought so hard and died, for us to have. In NZ we have Aroha and this too is a major statement of Love and unconditional Love that is the building block of Maoridom.  Other points in this interview: Sovereignty - Australia has ‘Australia Day’ on the 26 January every year - this is when they ‘supposedly broke away from Britain. America has Independence Day - the 4th of July when the became independent of Britain  Where is NZ’s day of independence from Britain? Some say it was sometime in 1947. On 26 September 1907 the United Kingdom granted New Zealand "Dominion" status within the British Empire. New Zealand became known as the Dominion of New Zealand. The date was declared Dominion Day, but never reached any popularity as a day of independence. In 1948 New Zealanders became New Zealand citizens – before that they had been British citizens. New Zealand gained full legal independence when Parliament passed the Constitution Act 1986. In 2003 a new Supreme Court was created, replacing Britain's Privy Council as New Zealand's final court of appeal. June 20, 2012 When is NZ day proclaimed in NZ?  We do not have one … http://www.wakeupkiwi.com/what_is_the_crown-City_of_London.shtml  Gag Orders   - In NZ Local Councils will not let you speak out about certain information. Does this mean that even if you are a Member of Parliament in NZ that you are not allowed Parliamentary Privilege - to raise points that you think are of national importance?  What are Gag orders - do you sign them when entering Parliament? Please look at the back of the NZ Passport - the North Island has printed on it NZ - whilst the South Island has nothing. Maps of NZ for the last 70 plus years have always had an even spread of ‘New Zealand’ across both the North & South Island , but not so on our passport.  Why? NZ IN 1967 changed their money from Pounds - to Dollars - a $100 bill was printed, yet though we have eliminated small coins we have not made a commensurate change by printing a $500 note - because NZers have forgotten that the $100 bill now is only worth $20.00 in 1967. That is an example of how docile and slumberous we have become - the bankers will most probably frog march us into a cashless society - sooner rather than later.   That people are encouraged to research  Jordan Maxwell - Matrix of Power and what is Admiralty Law?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-cb1P-lZ_4  That so much is happening that it is all hidden in plain sight. Yet, NZ society as a whole - seems blissfully complacent and unaware. In 2003, I (Tim) took my class of language students to see Queen Elisabeth 2nd at the America’s Cup Village in Downtown Auckland. That I then found myself in the middle of a loud beseeching by two middle class men dressed in suits calling and addressing Queen Elisabeth ll of England. They honoured her as the Head of the Church of England and Defender of the Faith. They politely but forcefully asked her to outrightly condemn the Pope in Rome as the Anti Christ and in league with Satan - and that here I was 5 meters from the Queen and 5 metres away from the two men standing on some seats.  (this was more than astounding. Here they were still fighting the war between the Roman Catholics and the Protestants.)   That Treasury here in NZ has a direct line to the US State Department - Why? That Donald Trump has recently taken over the US Federal Reserve - which is a private Corporation - asserting US Independence from the City of London? When Donald and Melania Trump visited London in June 2119 they both broke a major royal protocol rule by shaking hands with members of the royal family instead of curtsying and bowing. To top it off, in a ceremony In London in front of the trooping of the colour and pomp and ceremony Donald Trump walked out in front of the Queen - which signified that he was in command and that the USA under Trump had made a major break with the City of London.  https://www.insider.com/donald-trump-broke-major-royal-protocol-visit-with-the-queen-2019-6  There have been whispers recently that Prince Charles in the last months has been crowned King to replace his Mother Elisabeth 2nd - so there are plenty of assertions flying around at present, that signify huge change is upon us. Also that all the Lord Mayors of London have been Freemasons for something like the last 200 years, until Ken Livingston from the Labour party broke that spell … from 2000 to 2008. What does this portend? When In NZ you receive a traffic infringement it is addressed to you in CAPITAL LETTERS  - why?  See above. The Pope says we individual humans can not have a direct relationship with God - that we have to go through the Catholic Church?  Why? Because this is how the Church funds itself. https://www.ncronline.org/blogs/francis-chronicles/church-essential-faith-there-are-no-free-agents-pope-says https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4svTOrMREA    Where does this leave Protestants? The United States Isn't a Country — It's a Corporation! https://www.serendipity.li/jsmill/us_corporation.htm https://wwwsolutionsempowerment.com   - if you want support against having to comply and have enforced injections against your will. Click This was more than an intriguing interview. It was also a call to waken NZ journalists who have become so distracted by political in fighting that they have become profoundly lost in their own drama. Next Week. What is the soul, why has the soul been such an important part of human endeavour for millennia?

In the hopes of stopping Sinn Féin's dramatic growth the British government introduced proportional representation for all local elections held in Ireland in 1920. But just as it did in the 1918 general election, Sinn Féin stormed the polls and were in a position to appoint a number of Lord Mayors when the new councils met on the 30th of January. In Cork, a respected member of the Gaelic League and a vetern of the Irish Volunteers, Tomás MacCurtin, was elected when the opposition failed to agree on a candidate but his tenure would be short lived. On the 20th of March 1920 MacCurtin was killed during a raid on his house by individuals with blackened faces. British authorities said it was the result of an internal feud in the IRA but evidence pointed to a murder squad set up within the RIC. References: Maurice Walsh - “G2: In Defence of Ireland” T.

Hello all you London Legacy Lovers, wherever in the world you are listening. Today I’ve got a real treat for you. At the end of this week’s brilliant episode I’ll be giving you the chance to win a pair of tickets to one of the most iconic landmarks in the City of London-The Monument. All you have to do is listen to the show and then follow the simple instructions that I’ll be giving—and one lucky pair will be following in the exact footsteps of Sir Christopher Wren. The tickets have been donated to Your London Legacy on behalf of The Monument and naturally we would like to give them a massive shout out right here. The Monument to the Great Fire of London is best known simply as The Monument and situated near the northern end of London Bridge. In this week’s fascinating episode, I had the pleasure of being taken around and up to the top of this stunning 62-meter column by the excellent friendly and accommodating City of London Guide & Welcome Host Richard Smith. Not only did we get our very own private tour, but we were also taken to a ‘secret’ part of The Monument, not normally open to the public, so we feel really very privileged indeed. So—settle down and follow us as we wander around a true piece of London history, and don’t forget to listen to the end to win yourself a free pair of tickets, so you too can experience this this true London gem. This Your London Legacy.  “The Monument is 202 feet, 61 and a half meters tall – and the reason for that is that’s the exact distance from where the fires started.” 4:00 The Monument is built on the site of the first church that burned during the fire—one of many details that all stack together to make this a stunning feat of art and architecture. After you enter you’ll see font from the original church – and there are also names inscribed on the front door, six Lord Mayors of London who presided during the Monument’s construction. But also Sir Robert Viner—the King’s goldsmith who recreated the crown jewels, funded the monarchy, and also had some strange keepsakes you may hear about. “The city was compacted—and it was only one year after the great plague where about one third of the population died.” 15:40 After 311 steps you’ll find yourself with a full view of the city—a breathtaking site. The urn at the very top is gilded with gold leaf to represent the flames that burnt the city, but the Monument itself also served as a scientific instrument. Robert Hook, a 'criminally' unknown scientist and one of the founding members of the Royal Society,put in for the Monument to be a scientific instrument—being able to do pressure and pendulum experiments inside it, and it was also used as a telescope. Hook would lay down in the basement and watch through lenses all the way up the chamber. 30:20 The basement itself is actually a secret laboratory—and I had the privilege of going down a trap door to enter it. There are lots of Roman terracotta bricks that were used to construct its dome after the fire as they were plentiful in the rubble. It’s not open to the public but is certainly one of the great hidden places of London with a view all the way up to stars.   Competition at End of Show   Ok so I hope you really enjoyed today's episode as we went back in time to a period just after the great fire of London and walked in the footsteps of the legendary Sir Christopher Wren. If you want to take in the breathtaking views of London from the top of this stunning piece of classic London architecture, then all you have to do is go to www.yourlondonlegacy.com (http://www.yourlondonlegacy.com) and scroll down to the bottom. Simply add your name and email address, and one luck winner, will win a pair of tickets to The Monument. The tickets are open ended without an expiry date, so you have plenty of time to book in your visit. The winner will be drawn at random by me one month after the date this episode...

At the Lord Mayors banquet a couple of weeks ago the Prime Minister Theresa May didn't mince her words when she waded into the alleged Russian interference in western countries accusing them of sowing disinformation she declared "We know what you are doing and you will not succeed." This week on Profile we look at the man accused of funding the St Petersburg troll factory which has produced so much pro-Russian material online. Yevgeny Prigozhin has moved from jail to restaurateur and close friend of President Putin, but precious little is known about his personal life.

Simon Thurley looks at the history of the guildhall as a seat of power to rival that of Parliament and Monarchs: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/envy-of-kings-the-guildhall-of-london-and-the-power-of-the-medieval-corporationThe government of the City of London is older than parliament itself and its Guildhall is a rival to the Palace of Westminster. This makes the Lord Mayor a King in his own palace; but how has this been expressed in architecture? This lecture looks at the architectural patronage of the City's Lord Mayors from earliest time to the present. London has always been an architectural laboratory. Arguably it has been home to more invention in building types than any other city on earth. These four lectures look at London's built environment through some great buildings and their creators and ask why and how has London sustained a reputation for architectural innovation?The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/envy-of-kings-the-guildhall-of-london-and-the-power-of-the-medieval-corporationGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.
