What is it about Barry . . ?

To a true artist only that face is beautiful which, quite apart from its exterior, shines with the truth within the soul. — Mahatma Gandhi

Since 1 December 2023, Barry Young has lost his job, been arrested, spent two nights in jail, had his home ransacked, and endured being within the court system for over 900 days. And he is still smiling.

As many know, the calamities all occurred immediately after he blew the whistle on disturbing statistics he reported where he linked the ‘COVID’ bioweapon with clusters of deaths in specific areas of NZ that he observed on a database he created as part of his job as a Senior Database Administrator at Health New Zealand (HNZ). It is understood that although HNZ operates separately, it is ultimately accountable, to the Ministry of Health (MOH). Barry said he alerted his seniors and wrote to every MP before he went public. The news went viral.

It is understood that the MOH reported they had not studied his data since the time Barry made it available in 2023. It is now 2026. The bioweapon is still available. And Barry is still battling through the court system at a glacial-like pace. (Reports of his story are here, here and here.)

His latest court appearance was on 14 May 2026. The court has adjourned for another two months, with his next appearance scheduled for July 2026.

Yet Barry Young remains upbeat and irrepressible. How does he do it?



Well, for a man like Barry, continuing to go to work and remain silent about statistical information that, in his professional view, pointed to an alarming increase number of deaths from the bioweapon that was rolled out in 2021 and yet was still being administered, was not something he was able to do. He could not continue to robotically do his job and collect his pay cheque without raising the alarm.

To Barry, that would have been a living hell.

The statistics didn’t represent numbers to him. They were people. New Zealanders — just like him. There was a sense of urgency too, for he concluded that , based on the statistics he viewed, if he delayed, the more could potentially die, so he saw little alternative but to alert others within the Department so the bioweapon could immediately be halted while an investigation was done. He hoped he was wrong and that the MOH could show him there was a misunderstanding.  That didn’t happen.

The awkward thing for the government appears to be they had come up against a rarity, something that was possibly foreign to for them to find in such circles. A man with integrity. Rock-solid honour.

The more they tried to shut him down, the more the story spread and the stronger and taller Barry became. The torch of truth shone brighter. There was no off-switch to that. The six armed police who ransacked his home and roughly arrested him, hardly caused him to blink. As mentioned in earlier articles, he simply quipped that he was happy they had found his lost passport in their ‘search’.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. — Mahatma Gandhi

When a man or woman stands up for what is true and right, they create a light for others in a world that has seemed increasingly dark. Their light brings hope, decency, values, truth and a calm and steady resolve — and that is catching. It multiplies, especially with like-minded people, but it also extends beyond them to others and rapidly spreads like wild-fire throughout the country and across the world, for it seems so rare to find this within officialdom. Truth is a fire that, once lit, can never be extinguished.

And those left trying to defend the obvious lies tie themselves in more knots, for lies told are easily forgotten. Even rare slivers of truth were shown to be damning — like when the MOH mentioned they hadn’t looked at Barry’s information. An everyday New Zealander would surely feel the need to ask, “But WHY wouldn’t they immediately verify the statistics as true or false? He is either right or wrong, but they haven’t yet said he was wrong. Or have they not looked because they already know that he is correct?

There was that awkward bit where it is understood that the MOH alleged that Barry’s claims were “misinformation”, or words to that effect. But, how would they know that if they hadn’t looked at the information he provided? They tie themselves in knots with efforts to hide the truth and paper it over with lies. It just doesn’t work.

Recently, on an informative programme known as  Decentralize, I watched Mike Adams —known as The Health Ranger — and Todd Pitner interview G Edward Griffin. Edward is perhaps best known for his brilliant book, The Creature from Jekyll Island where he explains the fraudulent operations of banking. (You may want to read this if you have a mortgage as he explains how the banks don’t have most of the money you ‘borrow’. They just charge you interest on the money you pay them back. If you default then they take your property in compensation for money they never had available to you in the first place.)

During the interview Edward Griffin mentioned the books of one of the most prominent US lawyers, Gerry Spence, who went through many life-learning lessons in his career. In some of his best-selling books, he blew open the deep corruption he perceived within the US court system. In one book, Seven Simple Steps to Personal Freedom, he outlined how most of humanity is in slavery, while mistakenly thinking they are free.

On the first page he states, “What I argue for is freedom without regard to the exterior forces that enslave us. I argue that freedom can exist only if we have first freed the self. And in life the self is ours to free.” He explains that while many may rage and wail at their fate, they blame anybody and everything instead of taking responsibility for their agreement to be slaves. He noted that while they may want better conditions, or a bigger cage, few want to free themselves.  Many may remain imprisoned in work but will comply because they are too frightened to remove the shackles with all that this involves. So they comply, even if they see things that are wrong. They seek to fit in. They turn a blind eye. They collect their pay-check. They lessen themselves and their incredible power as they become more enslaved by the system they may not agree with, but which they serve. In his own life Gerry Spence reached the point where he realised this and threw the shackles off. He went from a man of means to a man with nothing and rebuilt his life on his terms. Free.

. . .What I denounce is our delivering to anyone or any group permission to conquer our soul, to extract from us our permission to be defeated. Defeat comes only when we have given permission to be conquered . . . Gerry Spence — US lawyer

Our peaceful non-co-operation must be constructive, non-destructive. Poison should not emerge from the throes of love. — Mahatma Gandhi

So, when Barry stood up and spoke out about what he saw he broke the shackles that had bound him and became free. Preventing more people being hurt was more important to him than his job, his possessions, or any so-called  perceived ‘security’. He couldn’t be true to himself without taking steps to put things right, which meant speaking up.

Please note: There many outstanding, legendary New Zealanders who are equally heroic. Each one of them formidable, courageous, brave, and who have stood, without wavering, no matter what those within the corridors of power threw at them. NZDSOS (New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out With Science) is one such example of an incredible group of professionals who had the guts to stand by their Hippocratic Oath and their integrity. They spoke out. They were knocked down, but got back up every time — and continue to do so — regardless of the blows of deregistration, losing the right to practice and being fined hideous amounts by a Medical Council (MCNZ) that should have, at the least, stood with them, but didn’t. They have risen above it all, and continue to speak out, even to the extent of creating a safe place for the injured and bereaved to find help in a trusted environment at the New Zealand Doctors Holistic Health Collective. NZDHHC. There are many, many other amazing New Zealanders of similar stature who stand beside them in this rare field of the brave.

Barry broke the mold because he worked within the administrative area of the MOH as a statistician and, through his job, discovered bombshell information he knew, within himself, was imperative to report. No one else from the administrative offices is known to have spoken out, no one in the offices of the Prime Minister, other MPs, the MOH, or anywhere in the NZ government, who has had similar knowledge, has done this in the past six years, if ever. Just Barry.

Is the court process —dragging on past 900 days now — being used as an example to the rest of the parliamentary bureaucracy? A shot across the bows that warn others who ethically invoke the Whistleblowers Act that this is what will happen to you?

What happened to Barry? Well, he didn’t cower in his chains. Instead, he opted to turn his face to the light and shrugged off the shackles. In so doing, he no longer had to carry the burden of observing what he saw as harm and death occurring to fellow New Zealanders and not acting to prevent it. He no longer had to check in at work with a sense of dread. He no longer had to work for a system that harmed. His conscience was clear. He slept well. He could look people straight in the eye. He is experiencing the recognition of how powerful he, and each one of us, has the divine potential to be.

He is FREE. As Barry says, even if he loses he wins.

For the system of slavery to remain intact we are pushed to consider ourselves as without power or worth. But that is a lie. Instead government, through their actions and inactions, present themselves powerless and unworthy if they treasonously walk in lockstep with global cabals and technocrats that seek to take what is not theirs and control the world with an authoritarian/police state rule. Soul-less entities pushing in, taking over, raping and pillaging our natural resources, destroying the health of the nation, our people, and our food sources, demanding ever more, while grossly spending the hard-earned money of New Zealanders on increasing surveillance, compliance, regulations, and suppression.

Don’t they realise that, ultimately, there is no honour among thieves? As one experienced barrister recently commented:  “It is frustrating how this system we live in is keeping people down in a slavery they cannot see, and destroying the true potential of humanity.”

Barry calmly stepped into this tsunami that many see as an orchestrated suppressive government/technocrat over-reach, and showed what he had found. As mentioned, just like NZDSOS — and so many other legendary New Zealanders — each time he is knocked down, he gets back up, only taller, bigger and stronger. We can all do that.

Truth is a formidable armour.

There is one other aspect to this and many others. There is no observable hate in this man. He doesn’t inadvertently give the dark side negative energies such as fear or hate to feed on and use against him, because he just doesn’t feel that. He rises above that. He has freed himself by his actions.

As he prepares for his next battle in the ring, relaxed, fearless and brave, all that he has done stands as a silent and powerful testimony of the power within him and in each one of us. With truth, honour and integrity on our side there is nothing we cannot tackle. Especially together.

Thank you to every incredible New Zealander who tirelessly stands up and speaks out, regardless of the personal cost. You are each angels sent.

With love . . .

  1. What a horrific situation that Barry Young has had to endure. A man of honour and integrity. Thankyou Mary for putting pen to paper, so beautifully and poetically describing, how Barry’s wonderful Soul, shows us how Soulless those persecuting him, are.

    • Thank you for your feedback Shirley. So appreciated. It was an honour to write this article about a man such as Barry. He uplifts. Despite all!

  2. Ode to Barry Young Forever

    For what it’s worth—
    because the people here know this:
    the oscillation of a society
    can seem a never-ending nightmare.

    But the pendulum swings;
    there is no stopping it,
    no deflecting its arc.

    Such a horrendous swing
    is already in motion.
    We will hit a physical wall
    without hitting anything.
    Nothing will move.

    And then,
    everything, all at once.

    And then,
    many stooges will wish
    for any court system,
    especially one
    with a glacial pace.

      • Mary, democracy was created to keep peace.
        Subsequent governmets have usurped the mandate of a peaceful people.
        !Subsequent governmets have usurped the mandate of a peaceful people!
        You can’t just put the genie back in the bottle.
        Time is running out.
        The only way to stop what’s brewing is JUSTICE on multiple fronts, yet these ‘birds of a feather’ are parasitic vultures, main egocentric objective serving outside interests. While JUSTICE demands courage, the adage ‘there is honour among thieves’ does not apply here – for ‘thieves’ is not even the right word.

  3. Two and a half years since Barry was arrested yet still no trial. The powers that be need to read the NZ Bill of Rights Act, specifically clause 25(b). Everyone charged with an offence has the right to be tried without undue delay.

    • Thanks for your feedback Anonymous. I hear what you say and I am sure you’ll agree he should not be in the justice system at all.

  4. Barry is a true Kiwi Hero, thank you Barry from the bottom of my heart and thank you Mary for writing the article

  5. And well before Barry and his paod for job at new Zealand health was RICHARD SIVELL
    HE DIDN’T NEED DATA TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY WERE DOING

  7. We all need to keep sharing your work Mary, slowly but surely more people are realising what has happened thanks to people such as yourself with your writing skills putting the facts in such a digestible way, as hard as it may be to accept I believe the message is reaching more and more people. Thank you

  8. Thank you, Mary, for another so-well-written article. Barry has put the NZ government in a real bind, hasn’t he? Our ‘soft’ totalitarian state has to somehow maintaining the illusion of democracy while denying Barry his freedom.
    In 1966, Harvard history professor Carroll Quigley published Tragedy and Hope, a 1300-page book in which he revealed that real political power operates in secret, over which ‘democratic’ elections have little or no influence. He showed what many now suspect – a secret, powerful network of individuals are behind world events, and that “representative government” is a fraud.
    In 2016 Joseph Plummer published a condensed 200 page version, Tragedy and Hope 101. Barry Young reminds us of this reality.

    • I worked through the origibal tome. A truly ESSENTIAL ans SEMINAL read for anybody interested in society and politics.
      Glad to hear that there is a condensed version.
      Maybe for the lot in the Beehive they could do a video limited to parliamentarian IQ and attention span.

    • Thanks for your feedback Martin. The freedom Barry feels and reflects certainly shows the situation up for what it is. Thanks for the references to those books, too. I will look into those.

  9. Hey New Zealand judiciary, Didn’t they teach you in law school that Justice delayed is Justice denied? It’s a good job you are not Chinese, you would have lost so much face I doubt you could live with yourselves!

  10. Well written Mary. The biggest fear politicians have is when a citizen chooses not to stay silent and compliant. This exposes them and threatens their authority, careers and legal standing. Whistle blowers like Barry, deliver hard evidence that shatters the offical narrative. This loss of power is terrifying and forces politicians into a reactive mode by bringing the full weight of the law to destroy the spirit that has the courage to be human. 

    • Thanks for your feedback Rob. I don’t think they can come close to the power of the human spirit. I know you’ll agree.

  11. Barry Young is a very courageous whistleblower. But hey where are all the other potential NZ whistleblowers who could speak up about the covid scam. The government especially the Ministry of Health is full of cowards. Also the 11,000 people who got exemptions to not inject a poison. Where are they hiding?

    • Thanks for your feedback Anonymous. Yes, it would be great for many within the various Departments who know what is happening to stand with Barry. What a day that would be!

  12. Again, thank you Mary for all the important work you do in getting the truth out to the people.

    I find it so disgusting the revolting NZ’ers in power that seem to forever get away lies and deceit. I really hope if the law doesn’t eventually get off its arse and prosecute them, that karma will get them. How the hell can people like Ardern and Hipkins lie to the NZ public and control the fallout so they still come out shining?!?!? None of those people are worth a hair of Barry Young. I hope he is soon out free.

    • Thank you Tomtom for your feedback. Always so appreciated. I hear you. It is almost as though a spell is cast over those in power as soon as they set foot in that “hive” isn’t it?
      It truly beggars belief what we are witnessing today. We will have to imagine into existence the world we want and, through our actions, make it true.

  13. It is very interesting that Pharmac receive $54million in the budget. That’s one hell of a lot of PPE gear.

  14. “Defeat comes only when we have given permission to be conquered ” yeah, ok, but that permission is most always wrested via a twisted , jargon heavy lie purporting to be something else entirely, one man’s code being another man’s misinterpretation.

    • Thanks for your feedback Anonymous. Yes, especially these days where black equals white and vice versa. Yet, it is true. We must not give permission. Hang in there!

  15. Well written thank you. I just hope he has the power to soldier on and do what must be done. All prayers to you brother

    • Thank you anonymous. I am convinced he does. It comes from the light of truth and freedom within him now. He has broken those chains that once bound him.

  16. From the beginning this has been a political arrest and prosecution of a man who only has the wellbeing of his fellow countrymen at heart.

    The government prosecutors are pushing for a conviction. But the delay has fueled speculation there is nothing to convict Barry on. The only option left is to delay, delay, delay.

    The uncomfortable truth points towards various poisonous vaccine products.

    Hipkins who was at the centre of this genocide is standing to be the next prime minister. What. sort of nonsense is that?

    • Thank you Anonymous.
      Yes, it has and no they don’t.
      and the fact that hipkins is still there is shocking to most.

  17. The prosecution disgusts me to the core. How any of them can look themselves through a mirror and can stand their image is beyond me. You deserve eternal Hell for your actions.

  18. It is heroic NZ’ers like Barry Young, the women of VFF, the Groundswell farmers and of course the NZDSOS people who have shown us just how wrong is our system of government . . . wrong down every arm of government.
    No matter who or how-well-intentioned are the “representatives” they are inevitably swallowed up by the system which encourages all the wrongs we have experienced during their covid alarm reactions and protects itself vigorously against all criticism.
    Someone has to stand up with the proposal of a new system at the next election. This proposal will not be all thought out because nobody is yet discussing what kind of a system it would be. This discussion needs to happen but firstly there needs to be acknowledgement that the system needs change, radical change which can never be effected through voting under the present system.
    Do you have any suggestions?

      • Thanks for your feedback Anonymous.Appreciated. Yes it is rotten. To the core. I think the system has to be replaced as it is no longer functional. It is happening and people are increasingly becoming aware of the rot within the current system.

    • Thanks for your feedback John. Absolutely! As well as NZDSOS, VFF, RCR, Groundswell, the Nurses Collective, The truth Forum/Lynda Wharton, courageous independent journalists working tirelessly and only for the freedom movement, the Daily Telegraph – many of whom have worked for zero income over the past six years. Heroes each one.
      You’re right, the current system is too far gone to be fixed. It is a farce.
      I think what you suggest is coming. Not a moment too soon.
