Oh my Goodness!! We are finally back on line. Let me tell you what happened!
Our web site was developed by someone in Kerikeri but her service was shocking. We’d need things done on the site and she would go away for days and be out of communication. Our site being what it is needs 24/7 monitoring. So we decided to transfer the site to Go Daddy in America, which is perhaps the biggest web site hosting service in the world. We thought we’d be safe with them. We also signed up to the services of a new web developer whose name is Scott.
So we started the process of migrating the site to Go Daddy. At some point in that process our site was hacked.
So malware and viruses had to be removed before the migration could be completed. One of the guys working at Godaddy ‘anti hacking team’ said “I have worked here for 6 years and have never seen so many viruses and so much malware on one site before!”
Getting rid of all the malware and viruses seemed to take forever. Then the migration process continued. At the end of this process, when it was supposedly completed, we found that the migration was done very badly, with chunks of our web site missing! OMG!
We’ve been going back and forward phoning / emailing Go Daddy, the original web site developer in Kerikeri, Scott the new web developer, and me, trying to resolve all these issues.
Conclusion? As of today, we pulled everything off Go Daddy and went back to the original hosting service which was Crazy Domains in Australia. I just looked – we’ve been out of action for 20 days!
So the site is now back up and running again. However, the last 3 weeks of blogs and info on the site will be missing, so Scott will rebuild this for us in the next day or so.
It’s been expensive too – Go Daddy charged us over $NZ700 to remove all the malware and viruses, and to migrate the site. So we are going through the process of getting refunds on all this.
The stress has been enormous, as we are at a critical stage in our tour.
Thankfully, faithful people (that’s you!) have been beavering away all over the country and more and more events have been popping up! Other events are in the process with people searching for hall / venues and getting organised.
Many of you have written to me asking about why they have not been receiving communication / blogs / updates from me, and this is the reason why!

Getting your event up and running in you area
If there is nothing booked in your town or suburb, then please, take action, and make it happen! The procedure for making this happen is not hard, and many with no experience whatsoever have done it. This next election is the most important in NZ’s history, so we only have one chance to stop co-governance. So please! Take action. Step up. Step out, and make it happen in your area
This is the procedure. It’s not hard.

Please sign these two petitions and email them both for other to sign. Just click on the titles below to open the petition and read about it. Thanks.
2. Only New Zealands official flag to Fly on Public Buildings and Structures

The campaign we are running, these meetings all over the country, are about raising public awareness. The public just don’t know the truth and realities of co-governance, and this is the way the government and tribal leaders want it.
To counter this we all have to participate, and be active all the time. How?
- Giving out our business cards regularly. View them HERE. If you want some delivered for you for free, call Geoff on 021 1428750
- Inviting people to events
- Helping set up events. If you want to know who to call in your area, email me and I will put you in touch with people. julian@stopcogov.kiwi
- Financing the tour. Please don’t stop giving. We need finance to pay the bills and open up new places for me to speak. Plus I have my own living expenses to take care of.
If all of us could do all four, we are going to make a massive impact, and in doing so will stop co-governance.
Our biggest challenge is that we only have a limited amount of time to do this. We have a small window between now and the next election. It’s now or never.

My book is being printed this week!
Thanks to generous donors, my book is being printed this week!
You can read it HERE
The strategy is to print five thousand. Then ask supporters to buy copies at $1.50 each which will provide funds for a reprint. The supporters can then deliver the books to people in their neighbourhood.
The goal is to go around the main stream media, bypass them, and get to the people directly.
It’s a great plan. It will work. We just need all the people who hate co-governance to rise up and become active.
I am asking each of the people who are getting to this blog to make the time and financial sacrifice to make this happen.
Nothing happens without sacrifice.
We have to be more determined to stop co-governance than the tribal representative are to keep it going.
Only one side can win here.

Events Coming Up Soon!
A big shout out to the teams around the country who are up and running. They have hired a hall and set their date and their flyers are underway.
Never forget, members of the public who receive a flyer in their letter box are shown how they can learn the truth about co-governance and why it’s so wrong. Through QR codes they can 1. Watch the video of me speaking in Warkworth 2. Read my on-line book on Co-Governance. Why it’s wrong and why it must be stopped 3. Learn about our web site and thus sign up to my blog.
This is huge! Why? We are bring public awareness.

It does not matter if you live a long way from them. You might have people you know who live near where an event is happening. Please invite them.
Congratulations on overcoming this. Are there any reasons for the hack, or just a random hack because they can?
I do hope the last 20 days were backed up on a cloud or similar. I did mention it earlier because I could see the reasons for tearing you down.
Just so you and developers know for malware, I use Malwarebytes Pro. I one off payment for life. Run it alongside normal Security.
A few on Kiwiblog will be happy.
Best Wishes,
Steve.
Keep fighting as the majority of Kiwis are right behind you. !!
So sorry to learn STOP CO-GOVERNANCE site was hacked and disrupted by viruses and malware. I having a healthy level of paranoia and blame the mongrels who have the most to loose in retaining a strong democracy. And I would not rule out interference from GCSB and SIS all influenced by Labours ideological team
