NZSIS warns of “rising national security threats” from espionage, extremism, and foreign interference

NZ’s spy agency NZSIS has warned that the country is facing its most challenging national security environment in recent times, with growing risks from foreign interference, espionage, and online radicalisation.

Its third annual Security Threat Environment report highlights deteriorating global stability, polarisation, and state-sponsored efforts to influence New Zealand communities and institutions, including diaspora groups.

China was singled out as demonstrating both the capability and willingness to target New Zealand’s interests, while unnamed states were also implicated in interference and repression tactics.

The report warned that young and vulnerable people are increasingly at risk of online radicalisation, with lone-actor extremism remaining the most likely threat scenario.

It also cautioned that artificial intelligence is amplifying extremist propaganda, lowering barriers to attack planning, and accelerating state-backed influence campaigns.

  1. State backed influence campaigns, this has been ongoing for years with the covid pandemic as the prime example. Great that this is finally becoming mainstream information though

  2. Truth is we already have Foreign interference It’s our politicians who are pushing the globalist agenda. That is the biggest issue this country needs to address and address soon, before it’s too late. If it isn’t already. The lone threat is nothing compared to the threat of people like Luxon and Jabcinda who are working for the World Economic forum.

    • Yes, hiding behind the new slogan “International rules based order”, which started out as “The new world order” slogan of the 90’s.

      • …and then came ‘The Global Play Book’…along with the designated ‘actors’…posing as corrupt, blackmailed politicians!

  3. Impeccable timing as the EU push through the DSA and the UK pushes to remove VPN’s. Stuffed, RNZ, Herald and ZB all on board today.

  4. God spare us from the scourge of of mis/dis/mal information broadcast by the globalist NZSIS, and the discernment to recognise where genuine ‘interference, espionage, and online radicalisation’ that serve to install tyranny in the guise of ‘we-know-best-for-your-own-good’.
    The track record of NZSIS in briefing documents is not impressive, but comedic.
    The NATO/EU/WEF/WHO supranational entities closely embrace BigPharma and obviously embrace BigTech. This is declared in the New Zealand National Security Long-term Insights Briefing (October 2022) document, where they spruiked with blatant temerity their dismissal of any and all reasons for rejecting Pfizer injections, blaming “hesitancy” on Russian psy-ops.
    And I thought unethical comedy had become unfashionable.
    “For example, recent analysis by Microsoft reports that New Zealanders were subject to a spike in exposure to Russian disinformation or propaganda online after December 2021, much of this related to COVID-19.(Microsoft: June 2022; Defending Ukraine: Early Lessons from the Cyber War) This spike preceded an increase in protests against COVID-19 measures and other issues in New Zealand.”

    • I mean it’s just such a bollocks that it’s a farce…us sullied were all manipulated by Russian plebs on keyboards… nothing to do with the draconian lockdowns, infringement of rights, experimental vax…

  5. Just in time for some free speech quashing terrorism legislation and a few hate speech laws, to keep the plebs in their place. The real threat of course, is corrupt, compromised government, acting in the interests of wealthy elites at everyone eases expense and ordinary people, increasingly unwilling to go along with it.

    My advice, clean up your act, behave in the national interest, remember your place as public servants not dime store emperors and you have nothing to fear.

    • That’s exactly what I was thinking – do they honestly think we are going to fall for it??? Hone your radars people – I just hope those sick people who instigate these false flag events don’t hurt innocent people in the process…..😡🤬

  6. Of course the main foreign influence is through the WEF & Z Team – working hand in glove with Murica & Queer “Icecream Man” Starmer.
    As Voltaire said – “you will know who rules you, by who you cannot criticise”
    These Baboons don’t even know who they are working for – it is completely compartmentalised – at the back the Cabal tells them what to do.
    If they don’t get a war they will try and get a pandemic. The group uses three things – War, Pandemic & Starvation to manage the Cattle.
    Best thing you can do is call them out where you see them – Tony Blair & Boris Johnson don’t like being highlighted.

  7. Anon is right, everytime… Baal Hats, control the Wolld since WW2. Sumerian Swindle, Usury, some sources, …. https://old.bitchute.com/video/xIePJMgs1PYk/ Secret Convenant. Which is…l Baal Hats, https://odysee.com/@louismarschalko:2/JWO:4 JWO. Reminder, we are Imago Viva Dei, so we have God given right to our own DNA, Fingerprints, Face, etc, no one else, especially Pagan Pollies. The Great wReckoning is upon us, Versus Great Reset, the countdown to Jan 2030 has began.

  8. Your government is trying to expand itself/grow larger. Best way is to convince citizens they need protection.
    New Zealand is a tourist destination, not a world power. There’s NO threat, nobody’s coming, get real!
