At 23, I was sentenced to eight years in prison for gun violence—robberies and a shooting. After serving my time, I was deported to New Zealand and intended to continue down the same destructive path.

But three months later, everything changed. I had a real encounter with Christ. The Holy Spirit brought me to my knees and opened my eyes to the pain I had caused—my community, my family, and so many others.

I was addicted to drugs. Addicted to violence. Living in sin.

Today, by God’s grace, my life has a new purpose. I now manage a part of an organization that supports young men aged 16–24 coming out of prison—helping them get back on their feet, break destructive habits, overcome addiction, and turn their lives around.

I thank Jesus for His sacrifice on the cross—for the forgiveness I don’t deserve but freely receive. All praise, honour, and glory to God.

What’s your Christianity?

Over the last five years, Christian persecution has reached some of the highest levels ever recorded globally. Today, roughly 1 in 7 Christians worldwide—over 380 million people—face significant persecution or discrimination for their faith, particularly in parts of Africa and Asia.  Each year, thousands are killed specifically because of their beliefs, with recent estimates showing around 4,000–5,000 Christians killed annually, including nearly 5,000 in 2025 alone—about 13 per day.  Over a five-year span, that totals well over 20,000 Christians killed for their faith, alongside millions more facing imprisonment, violence, displacement, and severe restrictions on worship.

William Wilberforce was a leading figure in the British movement to end the transatlantic slave trade. As a Member of Parliament in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, he worked tirelessly alongside reformers like Thomas Clarkson to raise awareness of the brutal realities of slavery. Motivated by deep moral and religious conviction, Wilberforce introduced multiple bills to Parliament, facing years of resistance from powerful economic interests tied to the trade.

His persistence paid off with the passage of the Slave Trade Act 1807, which made it illegal for British ships to transport enslaved people. Although slavery itself continued in British colonies for some time, Wilberforce’s efforts laid the groundwork for its eventual abolition in 1833, just days before his death—marking one of the most significant humanitarian victories in British history.

New Zealand recorded 17,785 abortions in 2024, with a rate of about 16.6 per 1,000 women (aged 15–44). The overwhelming majority occur early in pregnancy—around 86% are performed at 10 weeks or earlier, and roughly two-thirds are medical (pill-based) abortions. Later-stage procedures are comparatively rare: recent data shows roughly 150–200 abortions per year occurring after 20 weeks, which is about 1% or less of total cases. (Ministry of Health NZ)

By comparison, the United States has far higher absolute numbers due to population size, with about 1.0–1.1 million abortions annually, and a similar rate of around 15 per 1,000 women. Like New Zealand, the vast majority happen early, with about 90% in the first trimester and roughly 1% occurring after 20–21 weeks. (Guttmacher Institute) In Australia, total abortions are estimated at 80,000–90,000 per year, with patterns also similar—most occurring early and late-term procedures representing a very small minority. Overall, across all three countries, abortion is relatively common in early pregnancy, while late-term abortions make up only a small fraction of total cases.

Preach it🫡🫡

THE PAIN AT THE PUMP IS DUE TO PATHETIC POLITICANS. ⛽💸

Let’s stop pretending this is just about wars overseas.
The pain Kiwis feel every time they pull up to the pump… is the result of pathetic political decisions made right here in New Zealand.

Pain at the Pump.
Pain in the Pantry.
Because of Pathetic Politicians.

High Petrol drives up the cost of everything...particularly food.

LOOK AT THE PUMP PRICE

HALF of what you pay at the pump goes straight to the Government.

If petrol is $3.00 per litre, approximate breakdown of taxes:
- Fuel excise tax = 70c
- GST (15%) = 40c
- Carbon costs from the New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme = 15–25c
- Auckland regional fuel tax = 10c

That’s roughly $1.20 – $1.40 per litre in government-driven costs.

So when you flinch at the pump…
you need to picture the politicians’ faces staring back at you.

THEY BLAME THE IRAN WAR

Politicians blame:
“Global tensions.”
“Middle East conflict.”
“Iran.”

But here’s the truth.

They could give Kiwis relief at the pump tomorrow.

All they’d have to do is take less tax from every litre of petrol.

But they won’t.

Because the government won’t sacrifice a dollar of revenue…even when families are struggling.

DECADES OF POLITICAL FAILURE

Successive governments…both Labour and National…have failed to secure New Zealand’s energy independence.

We once had our own refining capability at Marsden Point.

Before it closed in 2022, it produced roughly:
- 85% of jet fuel
- 67% of diesel
- 58% of petrol

Now?

We import nearly all of our refined fuel.

We turned ourselves into a dependent island economy at the mercy of global shipping lanes.

THEN THEY SHUT DOWN EXPLORATION

In 2018, Parliament voted to stop issuing new offshore oil exploration permits.

That law passed with the support of:
- Jacinda & New Zealand Labour Party
- Winston & New Zealand First
- Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand

That’s right.

NZ First voted FOR the ban.

Meanwhile, our country sits on enormous untapped natural resources.

THINK ABOUT THE MADNESS

We have:
- Oil potential offshore
- Natural gas reserves
- Some of the highest-quality coal in the world

Yet politicians have:
- restricted new offshore exploration
- created uncertainty for gas development
- failed to secure NZ’s long-term energy supply

They’ve done nothing to secure our future.

INSTEAD THEY WASTE BILLIONS

Billions of taxpayer dollars poured into:
- vanity projects
- bureaucracy
- ideological climate schemes.

Imagine if even a fraction of that money had gone into:
- energy infrastructure
- refining capacity
- domestic fuel security.

THE REAL PROBLEM

The Iran war isn’t the real problem.

It’s simply exposing how vulnerable New Zealand has become.

A nation that once had the capability to produce and refine its own fuel has been reduced to importing it all.

That’s not strategy.
That’s not leadership.

That’s political stupidity.

THE BOTTOM LINE

If politicians had even two brain cells to rub together:
- We’d be drilling for oil.
- We’d be developing gas.
- We’d be reopening Marsden Point
- We’d be securing our energy independence.

Instead we’ve got looney tunes running the show.

And the result?

Pain at the Pump.
Pain in the Pantry.

And a country paying the price for decades of pathetic political leadership.

Many people won’t like me saying this…but the truth needs to be told.

Winston’s hypocrisy is shameless.

Today Winston Peters is presenting himself as the voice of the vaccine-injured…calling for an inquiry focused on vaccine injuries.

He says people deserve answers.
He says people deserve accountability.

But where was his concern in 2021?

Back then Winston Peters wasn’t standing with the vaccine-injured or unvaccinated.
He stood with the system that pressured people to take the jab.
Here is his post in 2021 stating ‘no jab, no dole and no parole’. Shameless!

Winston sat in the government meetings that approved the vaccine procurement.
Those decisions were pushed through WITHOUT the proper checks and balances to ensure vaccine safety…and without the public being fully informed of potential risks, including myocarditis.

In 2020, NZ First voted for the COVID Public Health Response Act…legislation that handed the government unprecedented enforcement powers.

Powers that allowed authorities to enter homes without a warrant.
Powers used to enforce lockdowns, mandates, and compliance across the country.

Let’s be clear.

When the pressure was on, Winston helped build the system that pushed the vaccine.

Now, years later…after injuries have emerged and public anger has grown…he suddenly wants to present himself as the champion of the vaccine-injured.

Why?

Because he knows the vax injured and their supporters are now a massive voting bloc.

Almost every New Zealander now knows someone who has been injured, suffered serious side effects, or whose life has been permanently altered after taking the vaccine.

That anger is real.
That pain is real.

And Winston Peters is trying to harvest it.

Not out of compassion.
Not out of regret.
But out of cold, hard political survival.
It’s just a numbers game to him.

He has never been genuine.

He pressured people to take the jab…
helped architect the system that enforced it…
and now pretends he’s the hero of those harmed by it.

The vaccine-injured deserve truth.
They deserve genuine compassion.
They deserve real accountability.

And if Winston truly wants an inquiry…then let it be a real one not influenced by him. His hands are not clean in this.

One that examines every decision made at the top from 2020 onwards.
One that looks at who sat in those vaccine procurement meetings.
One that asks what warnings were ignored and what risks were downplayed.

Because if the full truth comes out, it will show that MPs…including Winston Peters…were complicit right from the start in the decisions that led to these vaccine injuries.

Please NZ...wake up from Winston’s spell you are under.
