Richard Sivell

Government policies in New Zealand led to the emergence of differentiated groups based on vaccination status. Richard participated in the Wellington protest, observed police interactions with demonstrators, and noted a sense of uncertainty in the trust between citizens and law enforcement. After returning from the protest, the Police arrived at Richard’s address with a search Warrant.

The video shows police failed to follow search warrant procedures.

The warrant was unsigned by a judge, and Richard was arrested for obstruction when he tried to read it. (Therefore, did not plead to the obstruction charge)

Richard did not make any threats; nevertheless, he maintained that the government ought to be held responsible for its economic management and for requiring citizens to receive a recently developed and unverified vaccine.

Political opinion alone is not a crime in New Zealand.

Police did not provide any witnesses in court, stating that Richard had made threats against anyone. (Therefore, did not plead to threatening anyone)

In court, police prosecution quoted only selected words from online chats, omitting full context, which courts should consider.

What steps can New Zealanders take to restore confidence in the police force, Courts, and Corrections when established procedures are not upheld?

This twenty minute video, taken 29th March 2022, gives some indication of how Richard was treated following his time at the Wellington protest on parliament grounds.

This is Richard. He is in Spring Hill Prison. He has been there since 23rd of June, 2025 some twelve days after his detainment by Taupo Police in Taupo on the 11th June, 2025. As far as I can tell, he has not been duly processed by the court, and neither has he caused harm or injury to anyone. He does not know who his accusers are nor does he know what crime he has committed since he has never met his alleged victim nor has he uttered one phrase that can be honestly interpreted as a threat.

However, Richard’s story goes back further to the protests surrounding the mandated vaccines in 2021 following a year of rolling public lock downs and an unprecedented, full saturation propaganda campaign coordinated and promoted by the Ministry of Health and led by the then Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.

Background

This was a difficult time for most of New Zealand and the world, especially in the west. A rift in society that has been acknowledged from all sides. Today, that rift is less visible. For a while it was palpable, especially for those in the minority. Today it is evident, predominantly, by ascertaining whether a individual was vaccinated or not, and by those who object to the vaccine or not (whether or not they actually received it).

It doesn’t take much imagination to realise that those who refused and objected to the mandated vaccine had constructed a narrative that included the possibility that those who designed and enforced the vaccine were responsible for adverse events that followed. The worst kept secret is that the vaccines were not vaccines, and they were neither safe nor effective. The evidence shows that they were more harmful by far than the sickness they were designed to cure. While it was clear early on that the disease was very much akin to the common flu, that mortality rates were average, lower than 2018 and 2019 , and that the common flu had all but completely disappeared in 2020; the government was full steam ahead with lock downs, compulsory wearing of masks, and censorship of those who saw the absurdity for what it was. However, the vast majority of the population saw those who contradicted the propaganda coming from the highest level of government as selfish and dangerous. This was fuelled by that same propaganda from government and the prime minister who openly declared herself and the government chief propagandists as the “the single source of truth” regarding the vaccine, the disease and the science behind it (although not quite in those exact words but clearly implied).

Many eminent and respected medical experts around the world were reporting serious harmful effects from the “vaccine”. For many others it seemed self evident. They had relatives, friends and neighbours experiencing side effects immediately following the injection, some within a few days. Many reports from funeral homes and morticians of unprecedented increases in deaths and strange artefacts in autopsies were surfacing through social media and countless independent media sources. The government and mainstream media alike were completely impervious to alternative ideas, data points or anyone, qualified or not, with information that did not align with the “single source of truth.” In mainstream media there was barely a mention of vaccine harm. Actually quite the reverse, but I digress. To this day, although less aggressively, the propaganda of the previous government stands unflinchingly in support of the “vaccines”, the “deadly virus” that never was, and the health ministry system openly promotes the injections that harm as though they are a modern miracle cure for all transmissible diseases.

Censorship and police brutality were perpetrated around the world, but sadly, New Zealand was no exception.

The reader may of course disagree with that summary of 2020 onwards. That debate is on going and not the primary purpose of this writing. Suffice to say that Richard believes, along with many others, that the New Zealand Government, at the time, was knowingly part of world wide conspiracy to poison and depopulate the world, especially the western world. Richard might wish to word that differently, but as of this writing, I believe this to be a brief summary of Richard’s views.

Focus

Richard’s focus on government leaders in New Zealand has led him to express his belief that they should be made accountable for their words, actions and neglect. Richard witnessed the absolute refusal by all members of parliament to engage in discussion during the protest at parliament. For Richard, a crime of immense proportions has been committed by those entrusted with the preservation of our well being and leadership to that end. What is the appropriate response? For Richard, there is no question. After WWII there were the Nuremberg Trials that resulted in many being executed for medical crimes. Those executions were intended to serve as both a warning and an example of how such crimes should be treated. Eighty years later, many are calling for a “Nuremberg 2.0“. Richard is one of them.

Freedom of Speech

It can be argued that we live in a democratic country where freedom of speech is both honoured and protected by law. Some argue that while this true, that there are also limits. Where and how far those limits extend since they do seem to exist will personally differ from one man to the next. In New Zealand there are laws/papers regarding digital communication that describe hate speech and how it may be handled by government agents.

It is not too surprising that a man describing in intimate detail how he sees the future unfold where a Nuremberg trial might see some politicians and medical leaders hanged, might be unpopular amongst those so named. What is wrong with that situation is that those same politicians and leaders might abuse our system of justice to protect their fear that such accountability might occur. I think the dishonesty of the police portrayed in that video is fairly clear, but it is only the tip of the iceberg. Please read what Richard has, in his own words, but with help from friends, declared to the courts and to you now that this material is here.
