“Now Freedom for All” (NFFA) - Commander Janine
‘Now Freedom for All’ (NFFA) is a covid-era identity initiated by ‘Janine of the House of Arabella’ (hereafter JA), who in mid-2024 , stood outside Parliament and declared the dissolution of the New Zealand Government and its replacement by the “Jurisdiction of Almighty God.” This act, filmed and uploaded online, positioned JA as a self-appointed authority claiming titles including “Commander and Chief,” “Statutory Manager over the Crown Corporations,” and months later the “Royal Assignor” of a “Royal Court of New Zealand.” These offices, she asserted, derived from divine rather than legal authority, though the supposed conferrals had no recognition in New Zealand law. JA claims that the term ‘legal’ itself means “the undoing of God’s law” or the “removal of God”, thereby casting conventional legal systems as inherently oppositional to divine authority.
“..so, it’s been really important to change that Jurisdiction…” ,”Encyclopedia Britannica gave first definition of legal in 1893 where the word legal actually means to remove God”… .
“..now sits in a position of authority as chief and commander and Royal Crown over corporations where claims are done under God Almighty on behalf of the inhabitants and people of not only New Zealand but the world”.
“ ..what I have done and what a collective of others [sovereigns] have done that has removed the authority of the crown and admiralty jurisdiction…, … ‘And as I am now the new commander over the crown corporations …..”
These misbeliefs align within longstanding sovereignist doctrines and misuse of history. Her references include the 1493 Spanish Doctrine of Discovery and the 1666 Cestui Que Vie Act among New Zealand Human Rights Act and other local acts, to claim that modern governance deceives and enslaves “living men and women”. JA also inaccurately cites the caveat on birth certificates, “This certificate is not evidence of the person presenting it”, as proof of deception and incorrectly advocates that using a birth certificate means you can be “prosecuted for a crime” NFFA themes have also embraced covid-era distorted references to the Nuremberg Code and covid health measures.
The abundance of activity by NFFA demonstrates the scope of pseudolegal administrative tactics used to challenge state authority and construct a façade of counter-governance. While not a complete account, NFFA/JA activities can be grouped as:
1. “Commercial Liens by Force”
During March 2024 alone , JA issued a series of multi-billion-dollar “commercial liens by force” against state agencies and financial institutions. For example: Health New Zealand (with penalties escalating to $80.2 billion), and ASB Bank directors. Such liens mimic financial encumbrances recognised in commercial law but lack registration, validity, or judicial endorsement. Their effect is not enforceable but can create administrative burdens for recipients.
5 March – issued a “commercial lien by force” purporting to encumber the assets of Health New Zealand for $182,481,438.00, allegedly due by 20 March 2024, with further charges of $80,279,000,000.00 to accrue thereafter if not paid or rebutted.
11-12 March – issued a ‘commercial lien by force’ against the ASB Bank and its directors for $3,003,000,000.00, allegedly due by 25 March 2024.
18 March – purported to lodge “high court’ documents against Health New Zealand; on 20 April 2024, JA issued a declaration asserting control over that agency and other state institutions.
2. Declarations of Insolvency and Office Removal
From mid-2024 onwards, JA declared government ministers, senior executives, and entire councils “insolvent” or “removed from office”. Targets ranged from the Governor General and the Attorney General to chief executives of 78 local councils. By September 2024, she announced that all Crown corporations had been liquidated and their officials dismissed. The table below samples entities targeted over time through NFFA pseudolegal documents, which are argued by adherents to be a form of public record
3. Assumed Royal and Statutory Authority
As noted above JA consolidates authority through self-bestowed titles including “Royal Assignor of the Royal Court of New Zealand”. These roles are asserted through pseudo-royal decrees, public rituals, and in-absentia hearings. These roles, she claims, were conferred through loreful (divine) processes not recognised by New Zealand legal processes. But they certainly reflect a broader sovereignist pattern of false authority whereby they demise the state and then offer to fill that space with legitimacy claimed through invented courts or institutions. JA forged an alliance with ‘Lady-Crown: Turikatuku III’ (based in Australia) of the pre-covid sovereign cluster ‘the Mauri Nation’ who attempted to validate JA’s self=proclaimed role. Lady-Crown took the opportunity to reassert her own pseudolaw narrative of who governs New Zealand. Time will tell whether this one appearance together forges a ongoing bond or serves as temporary mutual reinforcement.
As part of developing this sovereign entity she invites applications for “peace officers” to protect “mankind”. While positioned as mentors and ‘protecters’ there are statements such as:
“Each guardian agrees to use communication and conflict resolution as the first line of defence to resolve issues in a peaceful manner. Where there is a potential threat the aim is to isolate either the threat, or the threatened, by restraint or separation. Where there is a perceived immediate threat to cause harm, a guardian has the lawful right to use reasonable force to remove all threats”
4. Abolition of Debt, Tax, and Property Obligations
In October 2024, JA publicly declared that she had cancelled all mortgages, taxes (income, GST, property, road user charges), rates, and fees. She also claimed to have abolished New Zealand’s national debt and seized Crown land titles, reassigning assets to “Janine’s and the People’s Irrevocable Trust”. These pronouncements present immediate, material incentives for followers, some of whom have ceased tax and mortgage payments, creating significant personal risk of debt recovery and foreclosure. The lure of financial emancipation positions pseudolaw as not merely symbolic but materially disruptive to those that subscribe, and who are often abandoned by their sovereign guru’s when the tactics inevitably fail.
“I have paid off the national debt today on behalf of every single, man, woman and girl living in New Zealand today……”
“With lawful authority I cancel all property rates and taxes altogether due fraud backdated to the 19th of July 2024”, …..” I cancel all forms of taxes (personal, income, goods and services, property), fuel taxes, road user charges, toll fees and public parking fees are declared null and void …. And can no longer be enforced.”
5. Cease and Desist Orders on Public Health and Safety
In September 2024, JA issued an order prohibiting fluoride, vaccines, and chemicals in air, land, and water, with penalties of $1 million per “event of harm”. At one point even issued directives for people to ‘visit’ water pump stations and conduct enquiries and if needed take action to prevent floride additives. Similar statements have been made in relation to 5G towers. What those actions should be were left vague and abstract in most cases.
6. Symbolic Paraphernalia and Ritual Authority
JA’s adoption of a purple flag “under God’s Jurisdiction,” in-absentia “royal court” hearings, and staged declarations outside Parliament highlight the performative dimension of sovereignist tactics. Symbolic authority through flags, seals, and decrees constructs an imagined polity parallel to the state. These symbols, when coupled with documentation, reinforce the narrative that sovereignty has substantively shifted emulating, to a less sophiscated level, the tactics of Canada’s pseudo Queen Didulo. Allodial titles are encouraged through planting a garden and flying the new purple flag from NFFA. The newly designed purple flag is alleged to signify the jurisdiction was now under God Almighty, through the words “ love God Our Creator, love our neighbor as ourselves, and do no harm’. However, she did apologize for raising the first flag on privately-owned Maori land in Gisborne, acknowledging permission should have been sought.
7. Escalating Claims and Retaliatory Tactics
When filings were rejected, escalations are illustrated through demands of even more extraordinary sums (e.g., $378 trillion against the Registrar of the Personal Property Securities Register for removing over 100 of her liens ). Such escalation demonstrates the retaliatory dimension of pseudolaw: each official rebuttal is reinterpreted as further proof of institutional corruption and justification for punitive countermeasures.
Aligned with patterns in New Zealand’s landscape, NFFA operates less as a movement and more as a personal vehicle for grievance-driven sovereign ideology, sustained by a small core and a diffuse fringe. This audience typically engages with NFFA materials to declare ‘sovereign’ status , ‘file’ documents, and intermittently seek guidance on the use of pseudolegal tools. Intermittent alignment with other sovereign gurus or entities occurs however, consistent with wider samples, these are short lived. Like all proclaimed gurus, teachings are disseminated through workshops and online platforms, videos, documents, and pseudolegal guides all demonstrating ‘justified’ resistance to authority and challenging specific issues - often accompanied with a fee or ‘donation’ request. Recognising these recurring tactics matters not only for understanding their appeal but for anticipating how these tactics may re-emerge or surge around future crisis or government initiatives.
