Tiny babies Chris & Cru Kahui took their last breaths on Earth in the arms of their mother, on a balcony overlooking Auckland city. She wept as the pale winter sunlight kissed her sons goodbye, stealing their lives quietly, peacefully. But inside, Macsyna Kings rage was close to ...boiling point. Back in the critical care unit was the target of her fury. I wanted to do to him what he did to our babies... THE GRIPPING, NEVER-BEFORE TOLD STORY MACSYNA KING has been called New Zealands most hated mother. Shes been named as a member of the socalled Tight-12 whose silence prevented police from successfully prosecuting the killer of the Kahui twins. Much of what the media reported, however, simply wasnt accurate. Now, shes setting the record straight and telling the full story, for the first time WHAT YOU READ HERE WILL STUN YOU.

"... what has gone wrong with NZ's political and bureaucratic systems, and how the public can regain control over politicians. Brooke advocates the Swiss system of a 100 day public veto of controversial new laws - if the public can muster up enough signatures within three months ...of a law change to force a referendum, the referendum result is binding on the government. Like New Zealanders, the Swiss don't want to be running to the polls every five minutes on stupid issues, so they save their referendum veto for issues of major concern. The difference between Switzerland and New Zealand is that when it really counts, the Swiss can bring their government to heel. New Zealanders cannot. Regardless of whether you are to the Left or the Right on the political spectrum, the 100 days concept works for you to keep successive governments honest. Just last weekend the Swiss voted to end the practice of multi-million dollar executive pay bonuses to executives whose companies were losing money, in what has been publicised in world media as the toughest crackdown on executive greed anywhere in the world"--From publisher.

"Never before in human history have governments had the power to totally control your life. Today, they do. That sort of power does strange things to human ambition. Even with the best of intentions, Lord Acton famously noted, absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely. Hard-won ...freedoms are being chiselled away every day, as a global bureaucracy springs up in partnership with global businesses, globally-focused politicians and global lobby groups, to impose a new global system of rules and expectations. New technology has not only made the globe a village, it's made governing that village a piece of cake in comparison with earlier civilisations. From population control to gun control, food regulations to clampdowns on natural health, Agenda 21 to climate change, mercury-filled lightbulbs to the Green Police, global treaties signed behind closed doors at the behest of unelected bureaucrats are rapidly locking in changes and a framework for the bureaucracy to take global control. In Totalitaria, bestselling author and investigative journalist Ian Wishart exposes a high stakes strategy of divide and rule, of 'manufactured' crises and instant solutions. He lays bare, in their own words, a cynical agenda to create a world where those with power and influence do well. It doesn't matter whether you call it capitalism with a social conscience, or socialism with a market face - to all intents and purposes its an iron fist in an ever so velvet glove"--From publisher.

For 2000 years, debate has raged - who is Jesus Christ? Is he a great
teacher or is he God? Is there even a reason to believe in God in our
modern scientific world?
In the past decade, the war on Belief has become more vocal with the
rise of 'New Atheism' advocates like Ric...hard Dawkins, Sam Harris and the
late Christopher Hitchens. Throw in media favourites like John Spong,
Karen Armstrong or Lloyd Geering, and you'd be forgiven for thinking the
atheists had won, the debate was over. Except for one thing. The atheists got it wrong.
Investigative journalist Ian Wishart decided to put the best arguments
against Christianity to the test. What he found will stun you. None of
the most quoted evidence against Jesus Christ or the existence of God
stands up to close scrutiny.
Whether you're a Christian or not, your questions, and the answers, are here.
"One of the best Christian apologetic books I have read"
- The NZ Catholic
"He takes the "inaccuracies" of Dawkins, Hitchens, Harris, Spong
and others and pulls them apart, looking deep into the facts
and issues around them and explaining with clarity the real
story that is behind them. The second half of the book deals
much more specifically with the Biblical claims (the existence of
Christ, His resurrection, miracles and prophecy are all included)"
