ONE SOVEREIGNTY = ONE NATION =THE REAL NEW ZEALAND STORY

REALITY vs MYTHS. THE TRUTH ABOUT SPURIOUS MAORI CLAIMS AND THE MODERN – DAY TREATY MACHINATIONS.

NO PARTNERSHIP, NO PRINCIPLES, NO SEPARATISM, ONLY NEW ZEALAND.

Sense of entitlements
Freshwater, air, unoccupied land, foreshore & seabed etc. In an era when major powers were exploring the globe for new territories and resources, Maori and New Zealand could not remain isolated. In 1840, the chiefs accepted what they regarded as the best deal available when they agreed to British sovereignty.

Maori are not indigenous, and many findings indicate they were not the first people in New Zealand.
It seems that nobody in New Zealand can claim 50% + Maori ethnicity so, by international definition, no Maori race exists. Everyone currently in New Zealand is non- Maori and so local Maori wards are unnecessary and a non -event because no one now qualifies.The statutory definition of a Maori in the 1974 Maori Purposes Act is a legal fiction and the 1967 definition in the Maori Affairs Amendment Act is correct.
There is only one legitimate 1840 Treaty of Waitangi – the one in the Maori language. No English version exists and the statutory reference to the Freeman fraud is a nonsense. What Hobson said at the time was that the Treaty signed at Waitangi on 6 February 1840, in the Maori language was the only legitimate Treaty. It was created from the final English draft treaty (dated 4 February 1840.) This is known as the Littlewood document located in 1989.
Te Reo is a newly created self -interested language that is not spoken by any other peoples worldwide and is nothing like traditional Maori as recorded by Thomas Kendall (1820), Rev William Williams (1844), and Henry Williams (1852) in their dictionaries. English, our common language, is already the universally spoken language of New Zealand and must be made the only official language.
Sovereignty was ceded by all those Maori chiefs who signed the Treaty (see Tamati Waka Nene’s and other speeches made at Waitangi, the Kohimarama Conference 1860 reconfirmation, and later the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s Sir Apirana Ngata speeches). British sovereignty was proclaimed by Governor Hobson in 1840 over the whole of New Zealand.
Partnership was never a factor other than in the minds of learned fools like Mr Justice Cooke and no principles, etc. are contained in the Treaty and certainly no separatism was ever envisaged.
No customary, so-called Maori tikanga law exists. Despite the disorientation and befuddlement of the current Supreme Court tikanga was never a system of law or laws.
The MARINE AND COASTAL AREA ACT 2011 (MACA) must be repealed immediately and the Foreshore and Seabed Act 2004 of the Clark Labour Government be reinstated.
COURTS, JUDICIARY, and JUDGES. An urgent revamp is needed to recuse/ remove recalcitrant offenders, especially those judges who incorrectly claim tikanga was or is a system of law.
Separate Maori parliamentary seats should be abolished as they are no longer necessary.
The discredited, biased and racist Waitangi Tribunal needs to be abolished.
The New Zealand Flag is the Blue Ensign with Union Jack and four red stars which was adopted as our national flag in 1902.
Aotearoa is a fairytale name. It is not an official name for New Zealand nor even a Maori name for the country which is legally called New Zealand.

Wake up in the morning, smell the roses and thank God you are a New Zealander.

Be proud of it and speak up.

Quotes:

Thomas Sowell “ civil rights used to be about treating everyone the same. But today some people are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is considered to be discrimination”.

George Bernard Shaw – “Never forget if you leave your law to judges and your religion to bishops you will presently find yourself without either law or religion”

Plato “the price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men”

Mark Twain-“ the truth has no defence against a fool determined to believe a lie”

Like all modern democracies 21^st century New Zealand contains people of many ethnicities and viewpoints. At election time they are all able to cast their votes equally to determine the type of government that we want. That is the essence of democracy for which our forebears fought for – and died for – in the two world wars.

However, in New Zealand, despite there being no full-blood Maoris or even half bloods (just a group who have a minority of Maori blood in their predominant European make-up) certain power manipulators have pushed for race-based “Maori wards” in local government in violation of the democratic principle of an equal and universal vote.

It is quite remarkable that, for a group of people who have been detribalised for more than a century and who don’t even have a preponderance of Maori blood in them, it is only now – in the 21^st century – that we are told that they must suddenly have separate representation in the form of “Maori wards”. It is yet another power grab by the tribal elite against the rest of us.

Those part-Maoris elected to a “Maori ward” cannot be expected to make decisions for the public good as other councillors have to – but only for the benefit of their tribe. They have no reason to care about the rights or welfare of the general public to whom they are not accountable. They are accountable only to those part-Maoris who choose to be on the “Maori roll”, so why should they worry about the rest of us? Maori wards are the utmost in racial exclusiveness as, by their definition, they exclude the rest of society. It is hard to think of a more debilitating measure in respect of the common good.

In the coming local body elections those voters in municipalities that have already brought in Maori wards pursuant to the Ardern government’s allowance and promotion of such without ratepayer input, have a chance to get rid of these racist and undemocratic seats on councils, and anyone who believes in an inclusive democracy has only one option and that is to vote them out.

However, a group pf churchmen have spoken out and encouraged their ever dwindling congregations to vote for these racist measures. These include Catholics, Anglicans, Methodists and Baptists but not, to their credit, Presbyterians.

Ever since the 1970s and 1980s when the World Council of Churches (Protestant) and the Vatican sent money to murdering terrorist groups in southern Africa there has been a steady desertion of good people from the increasingly political and Left Wing established churches, and this latest promotion of apartheid by loud mouthed clerics will only hasten the process. People like to make up their own minds on non-spiritual things such as Maori wards and do not like to be dictated to by clergy who lead comfortable, often lazy and rather parasitical lives.

Probably the most ridiculous statement of this self-appointed group of politicians in dog-collars came from the Catholic Bishop Emeritus, Bishop Peter Cullinane, who said, “Jesus didn’t exclude people”. No, but these Maori wards do – they exclude all people other than those part-Maori who are on the Maori roll.

Like all New Zealanders part-Maoris are already represented – as is every citizen – by the councillors of general wards whom they can elect. If they wish, part-Maoris can also stand for council in a general ward – nothing to stop them and indeed many of them have been elected in this way. So, what is Cullinane up to by talking about “excluding” people? No Maoris have been excluded from voting for councillors for well over a century.

It seems that in his twisted mind he is trying to propagate the lie that part-Maoris are excluded from voting for councils. In fact, he seems to be implying that to “exclude” is something very bad – a sin. If so, he’s the one committing the sin by promoting race-based wards that exclude by far the majority of the ratepaying public.

Race based Maori wards are backward, exclusive to part-Maoris and detrimental to the public good. In every municipality where the vote is about to be taken on Maori wards the only option for anyone who believes in genuine democracy and a non-racist society is to vote them OUT.
