Cheyenne Insurance (NZ) Ltd – Chameleon-like change to Investment Company

by Leave a Comment

The report entitled Cheyenne Insurance Company (NZ) Ltd: When is an ‘insurance’ company a real insurance company? was published on this website on 20 October, 2010. Just seven days later the company’s director and owner, John Malcolm Carr, a San Antonio Texas-based CPA, changed the so-called ‘insurance’ company’s name on the NZ Companies on-line register, one it had had since 9 August 1994, to a new name Cheyenne INVESTMENT Company (NZ) Ltd [Emphasis added].

Why did this US businessman need to make this change on 27 October 2010 after calling it an INSURANCE company since 1994. The answer relates to the passing by parliament on 7 September 2010 of the Insurance (Prudential Supervision) Act 2010 (see 20 October report) outlawing the use of the word “insurance” in a company name, when the company does not have authorisation to engage in insurance transactions.

The NZ public and Society (SPCS) members expect the Society, which seeks as one of its objectives “to foster public awarenes of the benefits to social, economic and moral welfare, of community standards, and to encourage constructive debate and discussion in this area”; to be a ‘watchdog’ on matters that impact the maintenance of the public good.

Censors protecting the “public good” from the morally toxic impact of the pornographers

by Leave a Comment

The Annual Report 2009/10 of the Office of Film and Literature Classification (OFLC) has just been released to the public. It highlights how censors have sought to protect the New Zealand public from the toxic, putrid and pernicious impact of, and exposure to – hard core pornography – such as the numerous DVDs imported from the United States by companies such as Auckland-based Eden Digital Ltd, directed by American-based businessman John Malcolm Carr.

The Herald of Sunday (“Ministry targets porn mogul” Steve Crow)  reported that $640,000 of sexually explicit porn DVDs  were transferred to John M Carr’s Eden Digital Ltd,  just prior to two of Steve Crow’s companies being put into liquidation. Titles cited by the reporter were both imported from the US where Carr resides. See:  http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10674407 19 Sept. 2010.

So many DVDs that Eden Digital has imported and submitted for classification have been deemed “objectionable” (i.e. banned) – for degrading sexually explicit content – that the Society wonders why the police, in consultation with NZ Customs, have not laid charges against its director John M Carr for the importation of “objectionable” publications from the US. The OFLC considers the banning of such material “a reasonable limitation on the freedom expression” to “prevent injury to the public good”. [Read more…]

John M Carr Profile and his Eden Digital Ltd Porn US-NZ Connection

by Leave a Comment

John M Carr Profile – The Society contends that those responsible for knowingly importing hard core porn into New Zealand for the purpose of distribution – porn that is deemed “ojectionable” by the NZ classification office – should face criminal charges in the Courts. The onus on such offenders should be to prove to the Courts that they were unaware that the material was “objectionable”, prior to importing it.  Unclassified publications should not be able to be imported into New Zealand that contain material of sexually explicit nature – material for example that promotes rape/sexual violence or the sexual degradation, demeaning and dehumanising of women etc.

John Malcolm Carr, director of the NZ registered company Eden Digital Ltd, resides in the United States, the country of origin of many of the DVDs containing sexually explicit content that his hardcore porn distribution company imports into New Zealand. See photos of director.

A significant number contain “a high degree of degrading, dehumanising and demeaning sexual conduct which, combined with the manner of presentation of this conduct, results in the women involved, and by extension women in general, being highly degraded, dehumanised and demeaned” (See: classification decisions www.censorship.govt.nz).

John M Carr, Eden Digital Ltd, Banned Sex DVDs and the US-NZ Connection

John Malcolm Carr (see photos links below), director of the NZ registered company Eden Digital Ltd, resides in the United States, the country of origin of many of the DVDs containing sexually explicit content that his hardcore porn distribution company imports into New Zealand.

A significant number contain “a high degree of degrading, dehumanising and demeaning sexual conduct which, combined with the manner of presentation of this conduct, results in the women involved, and by extension women in general, being highly degraded, dehumanised and demeaned”(see full report below).

Of the seven DVDs Eden Digital submitted for classification to the OFLC that were clasified during the month of September this year, two were classified “objectionable” (i.e. they were banned) based on their depiction of sexual content that degraded women. No opportunity was given for Mr John M Carr’s company to make any excisions. Of the remaining five DVDs imported by Mr John M Carr’s company, two contained sexually degrading content that had to be removed (excised) before the publications could be issued a label allowing for distribution within New Zealand. This was done and advertisements were added promoting the NZ hardcore porn magazine NZX published by banned company director Steve Crow. The other three DVDs focused exclusively on sexually explicit content but did not require excisions before they could be distributed.

Mr John M Carr, whose most recent entries on his websites (www.johnmcarr.com and www.carr.co.nz) were in 2006, is recorded as a certified public accountant (CPA) based in San Antonio, Texas. He is both a NZ and US citizen. As the Society stated on page 4 of its December Newsletter (available on its website):

“In short, the porn sleaze money trail extends from the registered offices of Eden Digital Ltd and Velocity Partners Ltd in North Shore, Auckland, (both properties owned by – Kinetiq Ltd – directed by John M Carr and owned by Velocity Partners Ltd – also directed and owned by Carr) right across the blue Pacific to John M. Carr’s business address in sunny sexy San Antonio Texas.”

The “Texas-Godzone Connection” as we referred to it on page 14 of the December Newsletter, is a “sleaze money trail”, involving US porn directors Antom Slayer, Oliver Brand, Vincent Voss, Stoney Curtis, numerous porn stars and their promoters (see Eden Digital imported DVDs below). [Read more…]
