Dirty Deeds by Dates Down Under: Dispatch 001
Sexual Predation Police Review Codified with Internal Self Government Theme
This Dirty Deeds by Dates Down Under series reveals how New Zealand’s issues, scandals and crises are thematically encoded with historical riffs to signal authorship, unity, scapegoats and caution — while telegraphing hidden aims.The release of a Police review on August 4th 2025, was packaged with an ‘Internal Self Government’ theme that riffed off New Zealand’s territorial history. In this dispatch, former Māori Television news and current affairs editor, Steve Snoopman, reveals how the death of a former immigration official, amid a police investigation into historic sexual abuse allegations, and a subsequent review, occurred with uncanny timeliness.
Ergo, this Police review is a metaphor-laden event that communicated a scapegoat, censorship and caution, amid a broader crisis of legitimacy for state managers. Indeed, this exposé demonstrates a coordinated action plan to advance a cover-up, and to signal chess moves, with metaphor-laden historical dates riffing, that in turn communicates complicity across numerous institutions via hostage exchange rituals. As staged events, such hostage postage rituals appear as news issues, but are in fact communicating a deeper game to those attuned to game theory and symbol sorcery.
Editor’s Note: The title image collage of ‘Aussie’ Malcolm features actual headlines associated with his ‘timely death’ amid a police investigation into historic sexual abuse allegations, and the subsequent review. This collage also includes the character Ron Burgundy, the news anchor from the movie Anchorman, to mock the obvious cover-up that has taken place. That’s why Snoopman has Ron Burgundy saying the “Police concluded [that] prosecuting a corpse would create inter-realm challenges”.
Curious Codified Historical Riffs in Sexual Predation Police Review
On 4 August 2025, New Zealand Police belatedly released a review into sexual abuse complaints made against a former National Party MP, Anthony George Malcolm.
The police review concluded Mr Malcolm likely sexually abused children, RNZ said.
As immigration minister, Malcolm used his ministerial discretion to halt ‘dawn raid deportations’ of Pacifica families that embroiled children, or presented other mitigating circumstances. Austrialian born “Aussie” Malcolm became involved with immigration as Parliamentary Under Secretary to Jim Bolger in 1977 and continued, as Minister, until 1984, when National lost power to David Lange’s Labour Party.
Pacific Islanders were lured to New Zealand to fulfil a labour shortage during the post-War economic boom. They worked as cleaners, factory labour and as drivers.
What are the odds that the release of a Police review into likely sexual abuse of minors by a dead Australian-born Immigration Minister, would thematically riff off historical dates that two major Pacific Island territories gained internal self government?
On August 4th 1945, in Western Samoa internal self government was established, according to the 1973 edition of A. W. Reed’s, It Happened Today in New Zealand.
And on August 4th 1965, the Cook Islands were granted internal self government.
The dawn raids were draconian ‘crackdowns’ in New Zealand from 1974 to 1979 and then sporadically afterward on accused illegal ‘overstayers’ from the Pacific Islands. The raids were first introduced in 1974 by Prime Minister Norman Kirk’s Labour government, who discontinued them in April 1974. However, they were later reintroduced and intensified by Rob Muldoon’s Third National government. After his election defeat he set up one of the first immigration advice consultancies, Malcolm Pacific Immigration, and was prominent in the Association of Migration and Investment, co-writing its ‘code of ethics’. He was also the campaign director for NZ’s first America’s Cup challenge that was led by merchant banker, Michael Faye. Aussie Malcolm appeared in Dawn Raids.This internal self government-themed product, that riffed off the historical events of the N.Z. Government granting independence to Western Samoa in 1945 and to the Cook Islands in 1965, is ‘signals intelligence’ that codified a scapegoat and caution.
Police were conducting a consolidated investigation into the Muldoon Government cabinet minister at the time that he died, aged 83, on September 11th 2024, following what his family described as a “short illness”. In effect, the cover-up ‘wrote itself’.
At the time, Police Commissioner Andrew Coster said, “Exactly where those will go now in light of Mr Malcolm’s death… obviously that becomes more challenging. We can’t bring a criminal prosecution but we are assessing the options there,” Coster said.
Aussie Malcolm, who was born in Melbourne, and was the son of Joseph Anthony Malcolm, a New Zealand government official serving overseas, was educated at the Church of England Grammar School in Sydney and then Wellington College and Victoria University of Wellington. His classmates nicknamed him “Aussie”.
What are the odds that ‘Aussie’ Malcolm, the disgraced Immigration Minister, would die — soon after Police opened an investigation — on the historic anniversary of Charles Kingsford-Smith landing at Wigram from Australia on September 11th 1928?
Australian pilots Charles Ulm and Charles Kingsford Smith completed the first Trans-Tasman flight from Richmond near Sydney to Wigram Aerodrome, Christchurch, on September 11th 1928, in a Dutch-made Fokker aircraft named the Southern Cross.
Due to the lack of symbol literacy, the psychotic humour embedded in such metaphor- laden events frequently flies over most monkey’s heads. The symbol sorcery is spooky.
As we shall see, the name Southern Cross will re-appear in the meta-data related to a crime beat reporter, who migrated from Stuff to Radio NZ as the story developed.
Stuff is actually a newspaper chain, not a storage warehouse franchise for hoarders, as the name suggests, and began life as Fairfax’s online brand.On September 22 2024, Stuff’s crime journalist reported that the Police announced they had opened a review of historical complaints into Anthony George Malcolm.
This date was potent, because on 22 September 1906, female domestic workers formed a union in an attempt to gain a 68-hour work week, to overturn a 16-hour day, toiling for 6½ days a week, for low wages. From the late 1880s to the 1930s, domestic service was the single largest form of paid employment for women. The ‘domestics’ worked in more than 15,000 NZ homes. But, an administrative blunder soon gave its opponents an opportunity to nip the union in the bud, when the acting secretary failed to re-register the union and the industrial unions’ registrar cancelled its registration.
And, on September 22nd 1844, a missionary printer William Colenso was admitted to the deacon’s orders, according to It happened Today in New Zealand. Given that Aussie Malcolm intervened to ‘assist’ in cases of Pacific Island families facing deportation where children were embroiled, it’s intriguing to find the Colenso Advertising Agency was behind a National Party election campaign ad, that featured a Pacific Island man in a pub fight. The ad, which was pitched at National’s base support of the blue collar white working man, implied that ‘uncouth’ Pacific Islanders took up valuable jobs.
Crucially, ‘Aussie’ Malcolm claimed in Dawn Raid that he objected to the campaign ad.
So, 11 days after the National Minister died following a short illness, the Police announced their probe had become a ‘review’ on the historical date that a missionary printer, named Colenso, was admitted into the deacon’s orders. What are the odds that this announcement about a probe becoming a review about a former immigration official, who likely lacked internal self governance when it came to boys, including those from Pasifika families facing deportation, also occurred on the historical date the ‘domestics’ registered a union in an effort to address their exploitation as a cohort?
Stuff inferred the Police were forced to open the investigation as a result of their reporting into Aussie Malcolm. But with Malcolm’s ‘timely death’, the criminal investigation became a ‘review’, that took five snail months to be released by OIA.
On 25 February 2025, Detective Superintendent Darryl Sweeney told Stuff reporter Sam Sherwood that “Mr Malcolm’s death is a bar to any prosecution against him.”
The dark humour rippling between the lines in this statement passed without remark from the crime beat reporter. Evidently, common law precludes prosecuting a corpse.
Yet, Sweeney’s statement thematically riffed off the Featherston POW Camp Massacre, and acted like a curtain dropper scene to signpost a successful cover-up.
Potently, on 25 February 1943, 48 Japanese prisoners of war at the Featherston POW Camp were shot with ‘tommy guns’ and rifles, and one guard was also killed by a ricochet. The Featherston Massacre is New Zealand’s worst wartime massacre and has been viewed as a powder keg of tension that exploded into mayhem amid disproportionate raging reactions. Wartime censors concealed details of the tragedy amid fears of Japanese reprisals against Allied POWs. A military court of enquiry absolved the guards of blame, but the Japanese government did not accept the court’s decision. This history riffing re-appearance, signposted censorship — it appears.
And then a curious thing happened on the way to a sensational scoop. None of New Zealand’s media outlets competed to investigate Aussie Malcolm’s crimes, it seems.
When the news dropped on 4 August 2025, that New Zealand Police had belatedly released a review into sexual abuse complaints made against the former Immgration Minister, it came via Sam Sherwood. But, by this time, Sherwood had migrated to Radio New Zealand, a Crown-owned news-outlet, as its national crime beat reporter.
Mr Sherwood’s first story at Radio NZ was about a toddler who was murdered on October 22nd 2023, just two days shy of his second birthday. At the time, his mother had become a working mum, Storm Angel Wall, and she told Sam Sherwood she was getting her act together. In a previous interview while he worked at Stuff, Storm said that she saw what happened and she knows who bludgeoned her little boy. But Stuff wasn’t able to report these details due to legal reasons. “Baby Ru’s” existence may have come to the attention of the criminal network that runs the country from the shadows because the parents initially named him Ruthless-Empire Souljah Reign Rhind Shephard Wall. His birth was not registered, as his name was rejected by the Department of Internal Affairs, reported Sam Sherwood on November 11 2023, when he worked at the New Zealand Herald. Storm explained the relevance of the name.
During an emotional interview Baby Ru’s mother said she regretted moving to Lower Hutt. Ms Storm Wall cried and wiped away tears throughout answering questions.
The meta-data indicates the slaying of her son was ordered to a political purpose.
The coroner found ‘Baby Ru’ was bludgeoned with a heavy blow to the head.
What are the odds that Baby Ru died on a date that seemed to weaponize the achievement of the toddler’s mother recently becoming a ‘working woman’? Since Storm had recently found a job, it is uncanny that her boy died on a day that appeared to riff off the date that the first National Conference of Working Women Report was approved, on October 22 in 1934. Ironically, among the working womens’ ten-action points were: Free medical, dental, surgical and maternity attention. Especially, since Baby Ru was born very premature and was placed in a neo-natal unit for two months.
The NZ History website was created by the Department of Internal Affairs in 1999.
The murder provided the opportunity for the headline, “Ruthless-Empire Homicide”.
So, it seems a psychotic humour continued as a broader psycho-drama of an ongoing low-grade war that plays out in a remote archipelago in the South West Pacific.
When Sherwood filed his first story at RNZ on April 22 2025, it coincided with the first issue of the Auckland Southern Cross newspaper in 1843. What are the odds that the reporter who ‘stayed on the story’ of the disgraced Muldoon-era immigration minister, who just happened to die on the historical anniversary the first Trans-Tasman flight flown in a Dutch-made Fokker aircraft named the Southern Cross, would migrate to Radio NZ, where he filed his first story on the date of the Southern Cross newspaper’s first edition; and that he would subsequently file his follow-up story on the Muldooon-era Cabinet Minister, who ‘rescued’ Pacific Island children caught up in the Dawn Raids — on the historical anniveraries that two Pacific nations gained internal self government, and whose peoples were caught up in those Dawn Raids?
The allegations went as far back as 1977; a man claimed he was molested in 1977 when he was 11. In 1977, Mr Malcolm became involved with immigration as Parliamentary Under Secretary to Jim Bolger, and when Muldoon’s ‘Dawn Raids’ were occurring.
Aussie Malcolm’s appearance in the 2005 documentary Dawn Raids, hasn’t aged well. Mr Malcolm recalled his indignance about the first time he saw an animated National Party election campaign ad produced by Colenso, whose heritage stretches back to the missionary printer, who typed the one people myth attributed to Captain Hobson. The ad cast a Pacific Islander as a thug fighting outside a pub. Ironically, the biggest cohort of ‘overstayers’ were British immigrants, the Dawn Raids documentary said.
Mr Malcolm claimed he said at a candidates meeting, “Oh my god, that’s going for the, you know, goolies. And it was a campaign that went for the goolies.” Since goolies is slang for testicles, to metaphorically describe kicking or kneeing a male in the balls, Malcolm viewed the Hannah Barbera cartoon ad as a low blow and unprincipalled.
Coming from the founder of the immigration consultancy, Malcolm Pacific, this moral stance was ironic. The Police findings indicate that Malcolm took a predatory interest in the private bits of vulnerable boys who were embroiled in the ‘Dawn Raids’.
Where the Crown-owned 1News had filed a lengthy news story about Aussie Malcolm 13 days after he died, the newsroom did follow-up with a serious sustained investigation. It is noteworthy that news anchor Simon Dallow comes from a police family, and in 2024 he was the patron of an intake of Police recruits, Wing 376.
While Sherwood’s story of August 4 mentioned his career path as a National MP in the Eden Electorate in Auckland (where Government House is located), and as Parliamentary under-secretary in 1978, as as Immigration Minister from 1981 to 1984, Malcolm Pacific Immigration, it made no mention that Mr Malcolm used his official position to intervene in ‘dawn raid deportations’ of Pacifica families that embroiled children. It failed to mention Malcolm’s early career was as a social worker with the Child Welfare Division of the Department of Education in Wellington and Palmerston North. It also failed to mention who in the Police led these historical investigations.
After Sam Sherwood filed his story with Radio NZ mid-afternoon on Monday 4 August, it was cut and pasted by Stuff, the New Zealand Herald and 1News.
The pattern indicates the three estates’ insiders — the legislature, the administration, and the judiciary, are communicating signals intelligence that a scapegoat has been served up, following the Royal Commission into State and Faith-based Abuse in Care.
A private investigator Clinton Bowerman advocated for several people who’d made complaints to police about Aussie Malcolm, to bring claims to the Royal Commission.
Sherwood also reported that Aussie Malcolm fostered children until his death.
And so, the mystery about why it took New Zealand Police five months to release the review report is partially explained by historical date riffing. It is codified signals.
But, there is also the fact every newsroom of New Zealand’s media cartel sat on their haunches and didn’t appear to demand the review report into Aussie Malcolm’s past.
This left the sly gremlins placed in the Police, the Department of Justice and at the Crown Law Office, to coordinate the release of the Aussie Malcolm Police Review, to occur with the court appearance of a recently arrested Police Deputy-Commissioner.
Thus on the same day, August 4 2025, Sherwood filed two other articles: one about the resigned-Deputy-Police Commissioner, Jevon McSkimming, who was prosecuted for possessing objectionable publications including child sexual exploitation and beastiality media; the other, filed at 5am, was about a prominent New Zealander who was back before the courts and this likely was about McSkimming, given the details.
The media, often referred to as the ‘Fourth Estate’ of the so-called liberal democracies — are enmeshed with a global media cartel — and as the Fourth Estate, it acts ‘intuitively’ as the peripheral nervous system to protect the other three estates — the legislature, the administration, and the judiciary, to prevent scandals snowballing.
The Police review said, “Similarities across cases suggest a clear modus operandi and potential for propensity evidence under current legal standards,” Sherwood reported.
“It highlights systemic issues in historical file retention and inter-agency communication, which hindered earlier connection of the various complaints against Mr Malcolm that were received and actioned by police over three decades.”
“Modern police file management systems, as well as oversight from three territorial Detective Superintendents, ensures victims and offenders can be linked much earlier to identify possible patterns of offending,” the review stated, according to Stuff.
In the wake of Aussie’s death, complainants told Stuff that Mr Malcolm was a “methodical predator” and likened him to the Jimmy Saville of New Zealand, since he was “untouchable”. Conspicuously, after the children’s show host died, the BBC nixed a documentary exposing the sexual predator, who was also a close friend and advisor of Prince Charles, spanning decades, before he was made a King. That relationship indicates that MI5, MI6 and Police maintained an ‘eyes wide shut’ state policy.
Analysis of Codified Sexual Predation Police Review
These news events bore the hallmarks of hostage exchange rituals, in accordance with game theory. During the Cold War, game theory was developed to stabilize the power structures of the Russian Empire and the American Empire. In their paper, “Resolving social conflicts through hostage posting: theoretical and empirical considerations”, Gideon Keren and Werner Raub noted that “tacit communications of threats and promises are two major message strategies used to influence the behaviours of others”. Being seen to advance the game with parallel, or mirrored moves, is a mechanism to construct stability and is predicated on a provisional promise to cooperate, if other players post hostages too. Ironically, such rituals create data for criminal investigations into crimes of power. Players codified their chess moves.
In this “Dirty Deeds by Dates” dispatch, Snoopman has shown with five news events linked to the Police probe into historical sexual abuse complaints, that there is a pattern of thematic riffing off New Zealand’s dates in history to signal crisis control.
The former immigration official, ‘Aussie’ Malcolm — who helped ‘rescue’ Pacific Island families from deportation where children were embroiled in the Dawn Raids — died on September 11 2024, which just happened to correspond with the same day, September 11 in 1928, when the first Trans-Tasman flight was accomplished. Ergo, a Trans-Tasman travel-themed historical riff marked the ‘timely death’ of ‘Aussie’.
His death meant the criminal investigation by New Zealand Police became a review, which was announced 11 days after the National Minister died following a short illness. This review announcement on September 22 2024, also corresponded with the historical date that a missionary printer, named Colenso, was admitted into the deacon’s ordersm on September 22 1844. What are the odds that this announcement about a probe becoming a review about a former immigration official, who likely lacked internal self governance when it came to boys, including those from Pasifika families facing deportation, also occurred on the historical date that the ‘domestics’ registered a union in an effort address their exploitation as an employee cohort?
How uncanny that Aussie Malcolm would claim in the Dawn Raid documentary that he voiced his moral indignity about how Pasifika people were cast in the National party campaign ad back in 1975, given that it was produced by the ad agency, Colenso.
The Police review was reported as completed to Stuff reporter Sam Sherwood on February 25th 2025. This newsworthy event occurred on the historical anniversary of the Featherston POW Camp Massacre of February 25th 1943. This wartime massacre was covered-up for the rest of the war. Thus, NZ Police were signposteing a state censorship theme by riffing off this historic crisis, which absolved the prison guards.
But, it was not until five months later, that Sam Sherwood would receive this review.
In the meantime, Mr Sherwood migrated to Radio New Zealand, and continued his crime beat reporting. His first story at Radio NZ was about the ongoing ‘Baby Ru’ homicide inquiry, and was published at the 18-month mark after the toddler was bludgeoned on October 22nd 2023 and died the same day in Lower Hutt Hospital.
What are the odds that Baby Ru died on the date that riffed off the toddler’s mother recently becoming a ‘working woman’? Given that Baby Ru’s death riffed off the day October 22 in 1934 that the first National Conference of Working Women Report was approved, this historic date meta-data indicates the murder was a politically motivated killing to achieve hidden objectives. Since the Ruthless Empire Homicide commenced while coalition talks were underway, just over a week after the 2023 election, perhaps the purpose was to coerce the political and technocratic elite to greenlight social impact bonds’ programmes through a Social Investment Agency.
Conspicuously, even when the Police review was finally released on August 4 2025, to crime beat reporter Sam Sherwood, none of the news coverage mentioned how Aussie Malcolm’s sexual predations may have included ‘rescuing’ children embroiled in cases of Pacific Island families facing deportation, while serving as Immigration Minister.
This Official Information Act event occurred on the historical anniversaries of Western Samoa and the Cook Islands gaining internal self-government, on August 4 1945 and 1965, respectively. Thus, an internal self-government theme was signified, to communicate censorship, caution and scapegoating. Given the release occurred on the same day a former Deputy Police Commissioner appeared in the Wellington District Court to face charges for possessing imagery of child sex abuse and beastiality, the apparent internal self-governance theme indicates the criminal network that runs New Zealand from the shadows, were codifying the events to signal a scapegoating ritual. The intention is to supply a mechanism to release pressure, much like a steam valve, to resolve a crisis of legitimacy for the ruling Establishment.
So, Snoopman has snoop-splained five news events associated with the ‘Aussie’ Malcolm sexual predator story, including those linked to the crime beat reporter Sam Sherwood. The themed historical riffing in these events indicates ‘signals intelligence’.
In mathematics, just three related events reveal a pattern. For example, in the number sequence, 3, 6, 9, the next figure is 12 and the numbers increase by three. Ergo, the numeric sequence will keep rising by three, out to infinity. In the present context, this prominent New Zealander died on a date that riffed thematically off his life. And from there, the unfolding events continued to thematically riff off his life, and his entwined history with the ‘Dawn Raids’, and his post as an immigration official in the Muldoon National Government. Key insiders of the ruling Establishment managed the optics.
So, we can ask what are the odds? And we can expect more themed deaths to occur.
The transfer of Sam Sherwood from Stuff to Radio NZ indicates signals intelligence that key gatekeepers in New Zealand’s media cartel were managing media assets in such a way that no serious, sustained investigation of the systemic child sex abuse would take place. The hostage exchanges communicated the Estates of the Realm are being crisis managed to ensure the scapegoat servings act as steam valves to release pressure, and deflect their attention from discovering systemic sex blackmail in NZ.
To be superclear, Snoopman is not saying Sherwood is complicit. Workers within the ‘blackbox’ of organizations can be oblivious to the rot, and can be moved like chess-pieces by skilled manipulators. Snoopman is pointing out that it was uncanny that Sherwood’s migration to Radio NZ was registered by his first story published on April 22, which just happened to land on the historical anniversary of the Southern Cross’s first issue, on April 22nd in 1843. What are the odds, that the next time Sam Sherwood would report on ‘Aussie’ Malcolm — who died on the anniversary of the Southern Cross Fokker plane making the first Tasman crossing — it would be when the Police finally released the report on the immigration official, who lacked internal self-governance to him, and no other journalist, on the historical date when two Pacific nations were granted internal self-governance? A psycho-drama with psychotic humour continues.
Detective Superintendent Darryl Sweeney’s assignment to oversee the ‘review’ lent a further element of theater to the psychotic humour in play. Sweeney may have been oblivious that his name essentially riffed off The Sweeney, an ITV programme featuring cops foiling crime rings across London, that aired from 1975 to 1978.
Naturally, The Sweeney featured gratuitous car chases, pistol-pointing and sarcasm, and almost every imaginable kind of crime bust, except child trafficking rings. It also featured guest stars galore, except Jimmy Savile in a cameo roll as ‘the fixer’, arranging children for pedos. If only ITV had cast a Savile look-a-like hosting a kid’s pop show, it could’ve carried on for seasons, with Detective Inspector Jack Regan and Detective Sergeant George Carter getting the run-around from the British Establishment.
You have to wonder if ‘Aussie’ Malcolm’s role was that of ‘a fixer’, and also how it was possible that the National Party, the Police and officials at the Department of Labour's “Immigration Division” didn’t notice his “clear modus operandi”. And you have to wonder if his role as campaign manager for Michael Faye’s first America’s Cup Challenge, extended to a fixer role to find children for wealthy predators.
So, what predatory abuse Anthony Malcolm may have endured as a child and teenager, since he was schooled in Australia where sex abuse thrived — also need answering.
As a modus operandi, such historical riffing signals authorship, cooperation, caution and it telegraphs objectives. The signals indicate players are communicating their cooperation to take a plot ‘live’, convey hidden objectives, and to broadcast psychotic humour, thereby posting themselves like hostages — as applied game theory predicts.
In his “Darkest Days by Dates Down Under” series, Snoopman surveys the curious coincidences of calamities, catastrophes, or crises that jolted the nation while power, wealth and control were accumulated. In his disturbing multi-decade sketch, Snoopman traces the creepy trail of spooky minds, who he believes plot machinations with an eye on the past and a dark vision of the future. The circumstantial evidence reveals an awful picture of each new administration becoming embroiled in a cover-up of a staged event made to appear as an accident, a natural disaster, or a crisis caused by an unhinged man, or an ‘unsolved’ crime. The modus operandi of metaphor laden-historical riffing continues, because most monkeys suffer from symbol illiteracy.
Ergo, the criminal network that runs New Zealand from the shadows are signalling authorship, threats, promises, caution, and scapegoats as they telegraph their chess moves. Their gambit is that their power, influence and control over strategic resources— with the penetration of every major and significant institution — will continue and with impunity. This network runs in tandem with similar transnational clandestine operations across the world, destabilizing societies to inflict totalitarian tyranny.
By controlling the dates of death in public and private institutions, and even in family homes, across the country and over time, the network is performing a ritualized display of power. This spectacular exhibition enforces discipline among the network.
And by determining the dates of events, and stage-managing the crisis communications, the various institutions and their state managers have advanced the cover-up of Aussie Malcolm’s “likely” sexual predations to a safe zone — they hope.
Ergo, New Zealanders continue to be group-processed amid a societal destabilization.
If you haven’t yet subscribed to the The Snoopman Files, you must be legally retarded.

* Each of the examined crises are entwined either by dates, institutions and players, or by references to prior events, either domestic or international, that indicate NZ’s national security state is more interested in accumulating power than fully disclosing the truth of such events. Patterns emerge such as training exercises ‘going live’, institutional transitions impairing emergency responders, and an apparent ‘too stupid to be stupid’ modus operandi that is repeatedly passed off as bureaucratic blunders, corporate clownery or government grandeur. Yet, hidden hands are detectable. The broad range of crises points to a well-resourced criminal network that functions with hierarchical structures and with deep penetration in New Zealand institutions, to command an operational level army of ‘soldiers’ to implement the complex plots.

Are there any other sources for this type of info that don't require member accounts/purchasing of articles? Hostage posting for Dummies? Am keen to get my head around this stuff but most of it is going over my head. Been researching game theory, but nothing I've found seems relevant.
