A Cairns News special report
FBI Director Kash Patel travelled to New Zealand July 31, 2025 to open a dedicated law enforcement attaché office in Wellington. While the FBI has stationed personnel in New Zealand for several years, establishing a full legat position in the country will strengthen and enhance the longstanding cooperation with a key Five Eyes partner in the southwestern Pacific region.

“The FBI has had a strong relationship and collaborated closely with our counterparts in New Zealand for years,” said Director Patel.
“Expanding the Wellington office demonstrates the strength and evolution of our partnership as we continue to work together to address our shared security objectives in the region.”
Although Kash Patel’s recent visit has not heralded any major incident in New Zealand there was an occasion when visiting US officials did precede an alleged mass shooting.
Now disgraced FBI Director James Comey flew into Queenstown on April 23, 2017 preceding a visit by suspected satanist John “mangled fingers” Podesta, who was Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager and Obama counsel, who coincidentally visited New Zealand March 10, 2019, five days before the infamous mosque shootings in Christchurch.
Podesta was attending a Global Progressives conference, heaping praise on Ardern while warning of a potential major online hack against her coming election?
The New Zealand Herald reported two members of the United States National Security Council visited New Zealand days before a media conference on March 10, 2019 where PM Ardern confirmed the Americans had visited, just five days before the massacre.
Ardern said the visitors were Asia defence experts—Matt Pottinger and Alexander Gray, but did not elaborate why they were in New Zealand.
At the media briefing a reporter asked Ardern, “Yesterday Podesta told us that New Zealand being a member of the Five Eyes network, New Zealand is a juicy target for cyber-attacks that could undermine our democracy. Do you agree with that?”
Ardern replied: “Oh, look, we’re not complacent, and certainly you will have heard me say that many, many times. We do need to make sure that we have the protection in place in NewZealand, either for direct attacks but also where New Zealand may be caught up indirectly.
“And so, regardless of what anyone else thinks or what any other member of Five Eyes thinks, we actually need to make sure that we’re prepared and vigilant.”
New Zealand’s mosque shooting happened on March 15, 2019, five days after the Podesta and two National Security members’ visit, and was allegedly carried out by an Australian shooter who has proven to be an Israei-trained assassin on a watch list since 2012. The assassin presented a real threat to then Iraqi President Bashar Assad according to Veterans Today.
Alleged Christchurch shooter, Brenton Tarrant “really is a trained assassin, then 42 years old, from a Jewish family, who trained against Palestinians and served in Southern Syria and in Idlib with al Qaeda, transiting in and out of Turkey,” the military news article stated.
How did he get into New Zealand?
Tarrant’s background, from Syrian Intelligence
Syrian Intelligence records, submitted to VT in Arabic on 3/16/2016, say that Tarrant’s family was in Palestine in 1948. They have no record of family origin, and technically, this makes his family, Jewish by religion, “holocaust survivors” even if they weren’t in Europe during the war.
This time Tarrant made the mistake of crossing into areas in Christchurch watched by Russian and Syrian intelligence, from where VT receives daily private briefings. They know him, after all, he was supposed to murder President Bashar Assad. Oh that? CNN failed to mention that?
This is the current definition; any Jew living during this period, even outside Europe, may under some circumstances, claim compensation as a “holocaust survivor.” Tens of thousands to this day, who were never in Europe, receive compensation from the Germany government.
There are no records of Tarrant’s “inheritance” that allowed his travel to Israel, Syria, Turkey and more and more nations now being added to the group.
Tarrant reportedly was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole and is being held at Auckland Prison.
A forensic report published in August, 2025 reveals the videos of the alleged shooting Tarrant posted online were fake.https://cairnsnews.org/2025/08/26/forensic-report-declares-banned-nz-mosque-shooting-video-as-fake/
