NZ Defence Force exercise sparks concern over portrayal of Christianity as extremism

Independent investigative reporters Penny Marie and Rachel Scott have released a new video and accompanying Substack articles revealing NZ Defence Force (NZDF) training materials that depict “Christian extremists” as the opposing force on a map clearly modelled on New Zealand’s South Island.

Leaked NZDF documents, reportedly used during exercises at Burnham Military Camp, describe a fictional group called the Visayan People’s Front – a “Christian extremist” organisation said to be recruiting indigenous youth under the banner of “a return to the traditional ways of a Christian nation.” Place names including Murchison, Nelson, St Arnaud, and Rainbow Ski Field appear throughout the exercise scenario.

The documents were sourced from United We Stand, a coalition founded by current and former NZDF, police, and emergency service personnel. In the social media post that first exposed the material, the group asked:

“Why is the NZ Army training to destroy Christians with traditional values? Internal exercise documents reveal how soldiers are being conditioned to frame Christians as violent extremists.”

Reflecting on their analysis, Marie states, “It’s a case of fiction imitating the current political and social climate. We see parallels between the depiction of ‘Christian extremists’ in NZDF training and the way many New Zealanders who don’t support left‑wing political ideology are being characterised.”



They draw comparisons with Anti‑Transgender Extremism – a publicly funded publication by Gender Minorities Aotearoa, featured on the NZ Police website – which, they argue, labels citizens who reject gender ideology as “fascists” or “Nazis.”

Scott adds, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives are fundamentally at odds with Christian principles. DEI is rooted in critical theory – a body of thought influenced by Marxist ideology that focuses on power dynamics, oppression, and identity politics – effectively making DEI a form of secular religion.”

Marie and Scott detail NZDF’s internal DEI and “rainbow” commitments, including targeted awareness training, specific KPIs, and senior-level direction of these programmes. An Official Information Act (OIA) response shows NZDF spent more than $45,000 over three
years on Pride Pledge fees, earning accolades at Rainbow Excellence Awards ceremonies for its DEI achievements.

“The training documents read like a cut‑and‑paste of today’s culture wars,” Marie writes. “Christian ‘extremists’, political conservatives, and traditionalists – all treated as security threats to be neutralised.”

Marie and Scott have also issued an open letter to coalition MPs, calling for urgent scrutiny of NZDF training content, its alignment with DEI and rainbow policies, and how “extremism” is being defined within New Zealand’s defence and police forces.

  1. Meanwhile Islamic extremist systematically cary out violence on all continents from Europe, Africa, America to Australia.
    And the lying mainstream media characterise it mostly as ‘lone wolf attacks’.

  2. The whole of the govt infrastructure hates you and has been pushing the globalist agenda for decades. This is just more proof of that. Merry Christmas and Amen.

  3. This is a globalist agenda not just NZ. Germany characterizes any citizen wanting to maintain their indigenous culture as right wing extremists. Esp. Christians who oppose 3rd world multi cultural immigration population displacement.
    The problem is embedded WEF appointments in govt who champion our cultural replacement.

  4. As an Angel Warrior and someone who fought for NZ 3x Times, and now a professional geo political researcher and Now as Retired Civilian now looking into NZs cold case murders..Want to know how YOU ARE born into indebted slavery, source….. The Occult Art of Law…. https://old.bitchute.com/video/BTiW1GTK0eVk/

  5. Over the top
    This is all coming from the Jews proselytes and their useful manipulated idiots and lackeys
    Who the world has been dumbed down into believing are YAHWAH Gods chosen people Israel
    But who in fact are the serpent seed of Genesis 3:15
    The littoral biological children of Satan the Devil through the progenitor Cain
    And who hide behind the facade and deception of ‘AntiSemitism’
    Although they are not and never have been a Semitic people
    Which is a lie from the children of the Father of the Lie
    But people buy into this lie
    Head over to Centrist for a quick look
    The results of over 2000 years of brain washing and the snake oil dished out from the pulpits of fake infiltrated corrupted and taken over Judeo Christian Churches
    The Beast of Revelation 13:11
    NZ is heading in the same direction as Australia
    Which has been infiltrated corrupted subverted and hijacked
    Jews bring Babel – confusion instability and eventual collapse
    Through their Babylonian Talmudic Judaism
    Which is the adversary of Hebrewism the true religion of the Hebrew Bible
    The parasite eventually kills the host
    The legacy of NZDF Rainbow commitments and DEI are exhibited in the fruits it has bore which sits rotting on a reef in the middle of the Pacific
    Now subject to an expensive cleanup operation which appears to have disappeared from sight off the radar of MSM
    Who pushes supports and sells all this propaganda – lies garnished with truth distortion and spin – to a gullible and predominantly asleep and docile population in the form of social engineering and regime change
    Along with global warming false flags and fake debilitating vaccine response programs to a virus which ostensibly defies existence
    The Beast and its shadow the MSM are intrinsically linked
    One is dependent and simply cannot exist without the other

  6. Ahh Haa – the bolsheviks are back – right here in NZ – Christians, particularly white Christians are on the menu again – as if they had ever been off the menu.
    All the same disgusting depraved talmud devotee activity and usury freaks promoted and financed in Germany, prior to Herr Hitler booting them out and Germany building a fabulous economy and country, have stirred their putrid filth again.
    NZ Navy – Dead in the water. Les and co are bit slow – they haven’t sunk them all yet.
    NZ Army – next on the list and rapidly heading down the bolshevik tubes
    NZ Air force – there isn’t one to speak of.
    NZ Police??? Let’s see now. How many newborns, toddlers and little ones beaten, broken and killed over the recent few years????
    How many convictions and long jail terms?????????

    In the words of dear old Pauly – “Not many if any???

    Mind you, just “skimming” the surface here, “researching” bestiality and child abuse porn on police computers and cellphones obviously takes a lot of police time as does planning, carrying out, then covering up fake mass shootings not to mention planning and executing (pun intended) the plan to knock off Tom Philips.
    According to police Tom was clearly a bad bastard – loved and protected his children and we can’t have that now can we?

  7. NZDF is behind the times it seems. Wait till they find out Gen Z have had enough of liberalism & its failures that punish them,meanwhile boomers & gen x get to slurp from the trough.Nick fuentes anyone ?, as a 1st gen gen x’r i wholly support the bullshit they’ve had to suffer by a bunch of outdated scum that have failed them. So nzdf are you going to target them you better think quickly

    • LOL, too right! TPTB are caught in their arrogant echo chamber.
      They will not know what hit them once the rest of youth wake up.
      And they don’t give a shit about etiquette because they haven’t learnt such.
      Many have incurred huge student debt while being blinded by academic prospects.
      The rest will also be replaced by AI.
      They might be uneducated, but not stupid. And that is a very serious constellation. Government, red or blue, have only until next election to do the right thing and kick the globalist scum out of office (including traitors like the Treasury and Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE).

  8. I’d say the senior ranks of our military have been hijacked by sell out nz globalists. A small percentage of our defense force will be under control of the propaganda from kiwi heritage but the majority should be awake.

    The big danger is foreign cultures as soldiers infiltrating our defense force especially those of muslim brotherhood ideology, also those outside of true christianity eg. Un service men, azovs.

    Theres probably nothing off the limits now for the 1986 act govt. The enemy is now losing so these extreme plots against truth tellers will only intesify eg. Bondi like attack in chch

    This will then blow up in the enemys face causing more awakeing across the populus.

    And our globalist churches say nothing.

  9. The NZFD need to be abolished. Iceland and Costa Rica get along just fine without them and as a Costa Rican politician said, we don’t have them so they can not be a threat to the people. Exactly. Governments and politicians have no one to hide behind, so they have to be accountable instead.

    As for these treacherous globalist politicians, a vote for them is a vote against your people and your country. Simple as that.

  10. The same globalist divide-and-conquer mentality we saw during the pandemic a few years back is again at work now – but targeting different demographics now. Sadly, too many ignorant christians (who never read their bibles and are unaware of their entrapment) are buying into this artificial conflict created by the globalists.

    If anybody is truly led by Jesus, the devil just cannot take him or her unawares.

  11. I don’t think NZ has a “posse comitatus’ type clause preventing NZDF from domestic action against NZ citizens…

    ….as was seen by CTAG ‘Combined Threat Assessment Group’ military counter terrorism squad who happened to be on the ground the day of the Christchurch shooting. Just saying.
