[00:00] now he said look he or she who is not angry when there's just cause for anger sins yeah that's wrong it's a totally human and blessed reaction to feel anger when there is injustice he had a little car early corollary that he yeah he he said the opposite of the virtual angular

[00:32] is what he called unreasoned patience now that's the best translation from the lab on recent patients and that means that when there's cause for anger you prefer to be patient long story short I would like to advertise the virtue of anger that within reason it's not only totally acceptable but it's totally and

[01:04] that when people see what's happened to Susie they should be angry and if they're not they're not virtuous and anger should motivate some kind of well some kind of feeling or a determination to help out just as you know the analogy that Vivian used do you help somebody who needs help even when people are reluctant to ask for that kind of help so I've learned a lot from this discussion and thanks for being for

[01:34] bringing a real human dimension into it but I would appeal to everyone including Susie to be appropriately angry otherwise you know you're not practicing that virtue and obviously I think that's brilliant what you just said and I'd like to add a little phrase here not trying to sort of guilt people I'm just trying to identify specifically there are crimes and then there are crimes of omission where you did nothing right and

[02:06] I think that that's what we're all doing here we're all trying to do something and when we see one of our friends in trouble we go there and help like when there was a hurricane here in Florida I went to my neighbor's I gave this old woman my charger so that she didn't have to sit in her house because she couldn't leave and wouldn't leave without her phone working so I gave her my little battery charger you know afterwards when my all my fences were blown over my neighbors came over and helped me clean all the wood in all the crack away we help each

[02:38] other it's a human quality that just breaks my heart when I see it happening in this instant Susie needs our help it's something I wouldn't go so far to say it's a crime of omission but I would certainly say it's camaraderie and it's something that if we don't all stick together and help each other particularly when one person is in tremendous need like like Julian was Julian was in incredible danger and Susie spearheaded this incredible

[03:10] explosion of putting him back into you know what would be the right I mean look we all know what it means for somebody to be disappeared well you can be disappeared now electronically and that's just as dangerous because nobody knows anything about you and then anything can happen to you and Susie we need to help her and that's really all I'm saying and I think what would you know ray is saying it's just something

[03:41] we all understand we all understand that we need to be angry about these people that are being attacked and not angry in a stupid way where we like not people when we see them I mean angry like we do something about it we act and if anyone wants to understand a little bit more about the reality that we live in I really do suggest you read the CIA coup but it's Declassified now because I swear to god the techniques that they are using on interrogating they're using

[04:13] on mass to control people we need Susie because we need people that are able to intelligently look at what's happening in the world because you will not get that information from normal mainstream news media and brave yeah just to underscore what you've just said that the kubark manual goes well beyond my time before my time but William Casey who is the Reagan CIA director said this in his first his

[04:45] first pronouncement at the White House and I have a friend who was there to hear this he said we'll copy this down with your with your principal quote we'll know that our disinformation Graham is complete when everything the American public believes period and quote whoa did you say that yes have an eyewitness she actually told the

[05:16] journalists at the time the journalist was a wonderful person her name was Sarah McClendon so this is Casey early February 1981 and now that's what a mission accomplished Americans all believe what the deep state shadow government wants him to believe so no Moses to do the kinds of things that will support people like Susie yeah but

[05:50] I just wanted a bit of light in the tunnel here not everybody believes it and I think more and more people I think this Epstein thing unless you're an absolute like comatose being I think everyone went wow he killed himself really two days after he changes his will where some strange Russian guy is the the beneficiary of his 578 million dollar estate did you hear about this this is insane anyway this is not

[06:20] relevant to Susie but all I'm just well it is relevant to Susie because the things that I'm gonna say for the 15th time Susie needs our help she deserves our help and you know what we need her I need her we all need these people who have a gift and she does have a gift not only to examine and process information but to write brilliant articles and we need to help her right now because these bloody you know elites have cut off her income stream and Kraig has a real

[06:53] opportunity to win a case very appropriately into a grander strategy of which we will all benefit from because it really is this simple if we allow people like Susie to go down the tubes believe it we are going to go oh hi kisses let the dog that day if you can restart it go for it because I'll just do the cool tech about I'll just do three prints on what we

[07:31] you

[08:10] hi my name is Susie I'm an activist and a journalist from Auckland New Zealand for years I've worked on controversial issues like the corruption of our intelligence I say goodbye it's your choice you can stay or go is totally up to you thank you everybody I'm so sorry that like my donation page apparently the stream also went down not

[08:43] particularly surprising but unfortunate we are back now I'll let Vivian and Ray wrap up their thoughts and then I will just give you the quick three-minute calls to action about what it is we want to achieve with this campaign and how we're going to do it and then we'll say goodnight everyone thank you so much for being with us through all of these issues what are your final thoughts and Ray yours also my final thoughts are I loved you Susie you're an amazing human being

[09:13] and I know there's so many people out there that know how special and important you are and whatever you can afford if it's one dollar five dollars fifty dollars five hundred five thousand fifty thousand whatever it is she needs that help as does Craig because in order for any law fair - well thank you so much for being here it really means so much that you have my back and you've been an incredible support for me yourself and Christine right throughout

[09:46] and I deeply deeply deeply appreciate that right what are your final scramming well I just want to say that the kind of people who are supporting you exemplified by Craig who's been with us here all this time the very encouraging thing for me you've got you've got the best of the best not only the best intention but the best qualified and so I feel privileged to be part of this to

[10:18] the degree I can help you know that I'll do it and I hope that other people trip in because as Vivian said the stakes are high and with Julian behind bars and you still willing and able and courageous enough to to apply or trade as a journalist well that's a big benefits what's all and with great support no yeah yeah I think what John Kiriakou is optimism as expressed before

[10:50] is warranted so thanks for having having me part of this and I look forward to getting more with great thank you so much for you and John have just been you John Kerry aku have been relentless support for me and pure solidarity as well and I thank you so much for that ok run so just really clear about what the objectives of this movement are from my perspective and certainly my from will start with my Russian legal team from their perspective they want me to get refugee

[11:22] status and they want it stat because refugee status is what will prevent me from living under threat of detention and deportation secondarily we want Asylum status because achieving temporary asylum will give me a temporary residency which will mean my kids can go to school I can use the bank in the post office and all the basic public services that you really need to have access to and what have any kind of standard of living and to be able to

[11:53] earn money again and to be able to be a productive citizen again not that my journalism and activism isn't being a productive citizen but you think you guys understand what I mean so those are the two things from the immediate legal perspective then the third thing is that we want redress we want justice and that's where Craig tuck comes in because we over the coming months will be um executing a series of plans strategic

[12:25] litigation as Craig would say to try to get that redress and to try and hold the people who destroyed my life and New Zealand's accountable for what they did to myself my chill and not just it's not just myself and my children it's my entire family I don't speak often about my family but my parents who are both retired and have kept me alive with their retirement savings for a long time now and that is incredibly difficult for them and to

[12:56] come from lower middle class to middle-class background growing up my parents worked for 35 years for to have those savings to be able to sustain themselves during that retirement and so my goal if I ever managed to tree any of the funds that have been cost me which because I did it cost me my house and my everything I owned all of my assets that I had in New Zealand and not to mention my sizable income has been the financial impact of the

[13:28] targeting of me if I ever do get that back right absolutely and will be paying on my parents back the funds that they have had to take from their retirement in order just to keep myself and the kids in one piece and still able to function other friends and family have also supported me and that's the only reason I'm still sitting here today is that I've had that support and I am eternally conscious of how many activists don't have that how many homeless activist students even though I

[13:58] that I worked with in New Zealand who were targeted who didn't have any family support whatsoever and those there are for every one of me that is sitting here able to dodge a campaign like this and able to fight you know looked to have legal fights in to seek redress there are thousands of us that make it that far there are activists who kill themselves activists who are killed there are activists who burn out who could bankrupt or hospitalized who are institutionalized

[14:29] there are thousands and I really am so privileged and lucky to even have made it this far to still be able to function at all I am so so so so privileged so I want to acknowledge all of those people that don't have what I have and haven't been able to make it out of their situations of being physically targeted um I want to knowledge all of the people that have come together to make this a success not just those who are on the

[15:01] stream tonight but the many activists behind the scenes who have been doing all kinds of things to even get us to the point of launching this campaign because I consider even to have a campaign launched to be a success despite the fact that we haven't yet met that aims so that's my primary consideration as getting refugee status which is going to require engaging with the UNHCR internationally because we've been completely at the local level and applying some political pressure of our own back to make that happen and then hopefully

[15:33] being able to successfully file my new asylum application here on the 27th and present a new evidence and and follow that pathway the third thing is obviously we have got to raise financial support not just because I face eviction every month if I don't pay my rent but because in order to pursue legal redress and remedy is going to cost likely hundreds of thousands of dollars but certainly tens of thousands of dollars

[16:03] it has to be an expensive and long process this campaign is going to have to run into the years rather than the months and so we need to if we want to have these big wins if we want to set precedents if we want to hold these agencies to account it's going to have to be sustained and continuous fundraising going on from this point to be able to resource that fight and if we win it I can guarantee you every dollar that we've had to spend will be worth it because it is time it's time that these

[16:36] people were no longer allowed to get away with the crimes that they have been perpetrating against citizens and not just myself I'm thinking of every person I've known who's been targeted and every person I don't know who has targeted and I believe into the millions worldwide so I mean we know there's two million on the FBI watch list in America and that's just for starters let alone internationally so those are the first three things in order refugee status Asylum status and funding for sustaining

[17:09] myself and my children but more importantly the legal campaigns going forward to achieve redress now tactical things that you can do especially if you can't give money and you don't feel able to assist the legal campaign in any way there's really basic things you can do which is just tweeting sending messages to the hashtag raising awareness on social media following the Facebook account 1vs5 a are following the Twitter account looking at the website the website one Viacom has a whole list of things that

[17:41] you could do actions that you can take sharing that short seven-minute campaign video that was a beginning of the stream and that will play again at the end of the stream it's an amazing thing put together a huge amount of work went into it I've got to shout out Quinn Peterson propaganda propaganda and Copa Ramirez Oh two of them worked for six eight weeks to put that video together and it is the most professionally produced video today explaining what I was blowing the whistle on and showing the

[18:13] chronology of how they do Benchley came to light and was proven and became public record in New Zealand and campaign so just take if you want to be a part of this take those steps now here's the big one though if you want to actually join the campaign team if you want to work with me and that other activists are involved in this campaign you can do so by going to 1vs5 i.com slash discord d.i.s.c.o rd and i'm sure

[18:44] also in social media admins will put that link out now if you click on that link you it will open the discord chat application and it will take you to the 1vs5 i chat server and in there you'll find a whole bunch of channels organizing channels around this campaign and you'll see there's news channels and announcement channels for the latest updates on the campaign so you can track the progress of it and things to share on social media you'll find graphics channels for making memes and graphics

[19:16] and support the campaign and video channel for cutting short videos of streams and doing promo videos there is a whole bunch of different ways that you can contribute tech stuff website stuff all types of things so you don't need to have money to be a part of this you don't even need to donate $1 to be part of this you can donate some time you can donate some skills you can skill share with people and they care and I can tell you that you will meet the best people being a part of something like this one of the most beautiful things about doing

[19:47] uni for Jay last year was watching people come together and form relationships with each other work on a little sub projects together and then take their experience of working with each other and go into other projects as a result countless new connections were made between people and countless other projects and endeavors and resulted from people simply meeting each other in the unity forge a server and working on that campaign so we're going to replicate that again with one versus flyby and I

[20:19] invite all of you to be a part of it you'll discover that our work spaces our discord workspaces I tightly governed know like they're all business or down to work we're friendly with each other we hang out with each other but it's not somewhere you'll find trolling you won't find time leasing and you won't find BS and there's really really refreshing because we've managed to create an environment that is productive and that is friendly without having a lot of the

[20:49] drawbacks of in-person organizing spaces that you see in grassroots activism can improve a rocky road and fortunately in the digital space we have a cleaner version of that so please come and be part of it work with us and this is just the beginning of what's going to be a really really really long fight but a really important one for all of us so I think they said I want to say thank you to Craig Craig Chuck has given me hope

[21:22] fundamentally he has given me hope that I didn't have before he's given me the capacity to see a future where there is justice and where there is redress and I truly had lost hope of that prior to this thank you brave what you said before about the you know as someone said in chat actually since they said a judge a person by the company they keep and that I'm in really good stead when

[21:52] you know the measured on that front and that's so so true I am really lucky to be surrounded by people that I look up to people who are more experienced than me more qualified than me and who stand by me and have my back that is priceless absolutely priceless and similarly priceless is the fact that I've managed to build platforms and an audience and that in many cases eclipses the platform's and audiences of

[22:24] traditional outlets who have basically blacklisted me or just covered up my situation for years now being Julian Assange has the quarter-million rates on it I don't think there's any article in New Zealand media that has a quarter-million rates on it and that's because people really do care they care about the truth they care about the content and when they see the truth that resonates with them and that that's what I put it down to I don't think it's particularly I really think it's like

[22:56] skill on my part so much as there is the reasoning the truth resonating with people and this campaign is entirely about truth and it's about protecting people protecting our society and trying to stop regular citizens being attacked by the military complex so thank you in advance to everybody who takes that leap and jumps on board and becomes a part of this it's ultimately because of all of

[23:28] you that we will achieve anything from this so thank you so much and I think we'll wrap tonight final thank-yous as to the tech team who have been struggling to keep the stream up against great adversity and thank you to watch thousands literally thousands like this scrolling at about 10 or 20 messages and thousands and thousands and thousands of messages being transmitted tonight about

[24:01] this hashtag about this campaign circulating all the information thank you all for taking your time to do that I deeply deeply appreciate it and I hope that after we win this battle or maybe even during that I can continue to contribute with my journalism and my activism in as many ways as possible okay thank you all and that's it from us for now bye-bye good night

[24:32] hi my name is Susie I'm an activist and a gentleman good night Craig good night ray I'm gonna sign off Susie Wow hi my name is Susie I'm an activist and a journalist from Auckland New Zealand for years I've worked on controversial issues like the corruption of our intelligence agencies I was severely targeted as a result of

[25:03] my work this led to my articles being amplified by the world's most accomplished publisher in 2016 I made a documentary about how and why I was supposed to leave my country I have now sought refuge in Russia and my situation has become public 80 to 60 are the voice of both it's 12:30 right now and Tony with you and I'm really happy we finally got through to a Moscow to my friend

[25:34] over there Suzy Dawson you're listening to a 95 b FM podcast Suzy Dawson is a Kiwi activist and journalist who worked as a member of Occupy Auckland's media team at that time no five years later and following involvement in GCSB and TPPA opposition she's seeking asylum in Russia a legend she has been spied on harassed and threatened by the police welcome back to the wire now finally on the show today last week it was

[26:05] announced that Suzy Dawson will be the new leader of the Internet's party wealth of the jimmy dore show we have a special guest with us at Suzy Dawson she's an activist journalist former party leader and current president of the internet party Suzy Dawson an activist and citizen journalist currently seeking asylum in Moscow Suzy has written extensively on surveillance and the deep state and claims it's not safe for her in New Zealand my name is Craig Turk I'm a lawyer from New Zealand act in the area of

[26:36] international human rights I act for Susie Dawson along with a group of other lawyers throughout the world who act for journalists and dissenters and high-profile cases including the case of Julian Assange as far back as 2012 Susie has been trying to warn New Zealanders and other citizens around the world about state targeting and surveillance of citizens and the methods being used to do it

[27:06] [Music] surveillance and new zealand's it's now so widespread it's not an issue of police going and getting a warrant and doing an investigation and then it all coming out in court the vast majority is the surveillance is undertaken is never going to be aired in a courtroom and by that I'm talking about cell phone technologies I'm talking about lawful interception is the term that the companies that through this like to use there is a corporation in Wellington New Orleans if if I caught

[27:37] and you can google them and you can look at their website and on their website they're so good as to explain at links exactly what they're doing and how legal it is them to do it and essentially they can intercept virtually any communication if they have someone at range they can hear your actual conversations but also through cell phones they can essentially turn them into microphones and hear any conversation that's had within vicinity they can see you takes misters they can see what photos are on your phone they can see what files are on your phone

[28:08] they can read your emails they can just and spit all kinds of information [Music] any intelligence service in the world that has significant funding and a real technological research team can own that phone the minute it connects to their network as soon as you turn it on it can be theirs they can turn it into a microphone they can take pictures from it they can take the data off of it but it's important to understand that these

[28:40] things are typically done on it too basis not only was Susy essentially blowing a whistle on state-level spy she was named in the precise entities that years later it would be proven had an effect of being doing it and the fact is the private corporations that are doing it should be really concerning to us the crowd that they got that they outsource it to was pci/l with I believe Thomson Clark investigations limited this state is

[29:11] contracting a private company to surveil you to me that's really morals absolutely immoral some six years later in December 2018 an official state services commission report confirmed that New Zealand government agencies had been employing Thompson and Clark investigations limited to target New Zealand citizens this is a private company that have essentially been instructed by state agencies and departments to spy on

[29:42] citizens more than a dozen police staff are under investigation for passing sensitive information to the private investigators Thompson and Claire Thompson in class security firm Thompson and Clark Thompson Clark so Thompson and Clark and they aren't some of the old police officers is there okay so does that explain the relationship and the free flow of information it doesn't it actually seemed a bit crass well at the

[30:13] end of the day I guess what I trust as people's intent is the report identifies perhaps an appropriately close relationships morning teas paid for by go out for drinks with the other companies identified we you inappropriately gave them information or just Thompson and Clark there are a myriad of security companies who inquire of police every day for instance Insurance Security that's not my question people listening to this will say hey Thompson and Clark we're giving

[30:44] stellar top-shelf gold star treatment from the police why do you treat other security firms the same as you were treating this one and how do you seriously think it looks to two members of the public listening to this Thompson and Clark hasn't just been paid by the government to spy on Greenpeace and earthquake claimants in Christchurch tonight checkpoint can reveal the controversial security firm has been also monitoring the activities of another three activist groups and Northland coromandel and Wellington and

[31:15] the activities of at least one further claimant Susie has been involved at the very highest levels with people facing charges from prosecution's coming out of the Eastern District Court of Virginia in the United States there are more prosecutions to follow currently unnamed persons importantly information will be coming out in the months to come that will provide transparency and clarity and lead to accountability suppression

[31:48] and prosecution of dissenters can't be allowed in New Zealand or elsewhere that's why Souza's teams launching the hashtag 1vs5 eye campaign and with your help can achieve some important victories for democracy and for each and every one of us [Music]
