Is this that bloomin pakeha established iwi leaders act, where the pakeha put all these other dark brown pakeha or potatoes in as our representatives and tell us that we elected them kefe's well when did you or I participate in that election it is a farce how can any discussion that say "iwi leaders" have any credibility

repeal the F%S Act of course but then what will it revert back to what the ole lady used to warn us about which was watch out for the pakeha if you are taking tiotio as the pakeha will come and arrest us. A solution would be to kick all the pakeha out of the country even our friends, as none of them can be trusted and will turn on us if pushed and Iwi hapu and whanau will sit around and decide what is to happen not let these crooked iwi leaders decide for us

	ELITIST THUGS KEEP TRYING TO KILL OFF INDIGENOUS & PEOPLE OF COLOR MNN Mar. 27, 2009. We are told the world is overpopulated and that it must be depopulated! We are finding out it is part of the old eugenics plan to create a “super race” and get rid of those who they deem to be “useless eaters”. It’s a code for systematic killing of us and people of color, in violation of international law and norms. The serial killers making these blatant plans to carry out “mass executions” must be stopped. The economic melt down is being used as their incentive to proceed. Outright killing and bio-terrorism strategies are being perfected and practiced on us. It’s a pet project of the elite. It’s common knowledge that Prince Phillip said that after he dies, he wants to come back as a deadly virus to reduce the earth’s population by 90%. Henry Kissinger set up the old ideas that President Obama is following. [Hey, isn’t he a person of color?] Kissinger was National Security Advisor NSA and Secretary of State for Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford in the 1970's. Like King George VI and early elitist Thomas Malthus, Kissinger says that humans will eat and reproduce until there is standing room only on the planet. He thinks he should rebalance the natural world to his way. In his memoirs, "The Final Days", control over life and death is a sexual high as "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac". We think that the megalomaniacs should not reproduce. Kissinger helped write the classified memo dated December 10, 1974 for the U.S. National Security Council called “The National Security Study Memorandum 200, Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests (NSSM200)”. President Gerald Ford adopted it as official U.S. policy in November 1975. Getting control of the world's food was one way to gain control of the people. To get food and medicines, developing countries had to agree to tough birth control programs and to drastically reduce their population. People resisted, of course. Kissinger and his cohorts decided to resort to wars. The myth of “overpopulation” is promoted, particularly against Indigenous people and people of color. We are standing in the way of their plunder of the Earth's resources and destruction of life. As Kissinger said, “The fast growing populations are prone to civil unrest”. It’s because we are hungry for life! Young Indigenous people are their highest concern because they could drive away investors! The UN adopted the “World Population Plan of Action” in 1974 to keep the global population below 8 billion. Recently it was lowered to 1.5 billion so they can enjoy the North American materialistic lifestyle of creature comforts, gross obesity and desensitization. They are unconcerned about natural cycles of life. They set a limit of two children per family. They saw that it would require "vigorous efforts" while pretending it's voluntary. Birth control devices did not slow down the birthrate of the 13 targeted countries: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria, Mexico, Indonesia, Brazil, Philippines, Thailand, Egypt, Turkey, Ethiopia, and Colombia. President Luis Lula of Brazil told a gathering attended by British Prime Minister Gordon Brown that the global financial crisis was caused by “the irrational behavior of white people with blue eyes” [news.bbc.co.uk]. Kissinger's war crimes are well documented in “The Trial of Henry Kissinger” by Christopher Hitchens. Kissinger was involved in genocidal massacres of millions in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Bangladesh (Pakistan), East Timor (Indonesia), Burma (Myanmar) and Chile. Fertility is a threat worse than nuclear war. Many personal care products are being made with toxic chemicals and endocrine disrupters which affect reproductive function and fertility. Subversive fertility control technologies have been around for a long time. Among others, “Ax Body Deodorant” for young men contains endocrine disrupters that bring down their sperm count. Do we need to use these fragrances to mask the natural scent of healthy human bodies? U.S. President Barack Obama's National Security Advisor, James L. Jones, recently provoked his cronies and the world in Munich Germany that Kissinger is his boss. He said, "I take my daily orders from Dr. Kissinger, filtered down through General Brent Scowcroft and Sandy Berger”. Jones is a retired 4-Star Marine Corp General with scads of medals, including the French Legion of Honor and the Canadian Meritorious Service Cross. He was a Vietnam vet and worked in the Department of Defence until 2006. He had been active in many businesses making money out of death and destruction such as Boeing, Cross Match Technologies, a privately held biometric solutions company and Chevron Corporation. On November 28, 2007 Condoleeza Rice appointed him as a special Middle East envoy to "strengthen security for both Israelis and Palestinians”. Well, the flames of violence have been heavily fanned since then. Indigenous people are in the way everywhere in the world resisting the plunder of our territories, resources and the earth. Because of technology, we are not needed and are targeted for elimination. The pirates want to keep the loot for themselves and to death with the rest of us. Resisters are being eliminated everywhere. In Iraq and Afghanistan depleted uranium is used to sicken and kill for generations. If bombs and bullets don’t do it, chemicals and diseases will be brought in. In Onowaregeh, Turtle Island, we Ongwehone have been targeted from the beginning of the European invasion. We went through and are still going through death by killings, diseases, forced sterilization, birth control, residential school abuse and murders, theft of our children, deliberate poverty and third world living conditions to lower our birth rate and longevity. It didn’t work. So now state agents are going after our kids by rammings, jailings, assaults, “disappearing” and no economic and social opportunities for us. U.S. and Canada are joining forces to marginalize, demoralize, anger, create despair and give us no hope. Since we are marked for death, our way is to defend ourselves by surviving and until we win!

Notes and Sources Kissinger and Overpopulation Excerpts from the Executive Summary of NSSM200 http://www.population-security.org/1... National Security Study Memorandum 200 NSSM200 Kissinger and company were paranoid that "the imbalance between growing numbers and development potential most seriously risks instability, unrest, and international tensions. This group of priority countries includes some with virtually no government interest in family planning and others with active government family planning programs which require and would welcome enlarged technical and financial assistance. These countries should be given the highest priority within AID's population program in terms of resource allocations and/or leadership efforts to encourage action by other donors and organizations." "POLITICAL EFFECTS OF POPULATION FACTORS - Index 19. The political consequences of current population factors in the LDCs -- rapid growth, internal migration, high percentages of young people, slow improvement in living standards, urban concentrations, and pressures for foreign migration -- are damaging to the internal stability and international relations of countries in whose advancement the U.S. is interested, thus creating political or even national security problems for the U.S. In a broader sense, there is a major risk of severe damage to world economic, political, and ecological systems and, as these systems begin to fail, to our humanitarian values [emphasis added]." "29. While specific goals in this area are difficult to state, [they'd be pretty offensive to most people!] our aim should be for the world to achieve a replacement level of fertility, (a two-child family on the average), by about the year 2000... Compared to the U.N medium projection, this goal would result in 500 million fewer people in 2000 and about 3 billion fewer in 2050. Attainment of this goal will require greatly intensified population programs. A basis for developing national population growth control targets to achieve this world target is contained in the World Population Plan of Action. 30. The World Population Plan of Action (adopted by consensus by 137 nations at the August 1974 U.N. World Population Conference) is not self-enforcing and will require vigorous efforts by interested countries, U.N. agencies and other international bodies to make it effective. U.S. leadership is essential..." "Initiate an international cooperative strategy of national research programs on human reproduction and fertility control covering biomedical and socio-economic factors, as proposed by the U.S. Delegation at Bucharest." "34. To help assure others of our intentions we should indicate our emphasis on the right of individuals and couples to determine freely and responsibly the number and spacing of their children and to have information, education and means to do so, and our continued interest in improving the overall general welfare." Hmm, when did Kissinger ever do that? He's wanted for war crimes! "37. There is an alternate view which holds that a growing number of experts believe that the population situation is already more serious and less amenable to solution through voluntary measures than is generally accepted. It holds that, to prevent even more widespread food shortage and other demographic catastrophes than are generally anticipated, even stronger measures are required and some fundamental, very difficult moral issues need to be addressed. These include, for example, our own consumption patterns, mandatory programs, tight control of our food resources. In view of the seriousness of these issues, explicit consideration of them should begin in the Executive Branch, the Congress and the U.N. soon. (See the end of Section I for this viewpoint.)" "this new threat to U.S. and global security and the actions the many departments of our government felt were necessary in order to address this grave new threat -- a threat greater than nuclear war.

Australia to support UN Indigenous rights declaration

Posted 4 hours 23 minutes ago

Australia will next week officially back the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, reversing the Howard Government's vote against it in 2007.

Indigenous Affairs Minister Jenny Macklin will make a statement on Australia's change in position on April 3 at Parliament House in Canberra.

The decison to support the declaration, which was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2007, was part of the Rudd Government's election promises.

It also follows an unprecedented apology last year by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to the stolen generations.

Ms Macklin says supporting the declaration is an important step towards closing the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

"We want Indigenous Australians to be partners in efforts to close the gap. For this to happen, we must recognise the unique place of Indigenous people in Australia," she said.

"In supporting the Declaration, Australia will join with many other countries to show our respect for Indigenous people"

Australia was a key player in drafing the declaration in the 1980s and 90s but the Howard government eventually chose to vote against it in 2007.

It was one of only four countries including the United States, Canada and New Zealand to do so.

The declaration is not legally binding and the Government's statement to support it could be reversed by the next Government.

Iwi independence paati warns government that ignoring iwi aspirations will be to their demise

Iwi independence Paati

Media Release for immediate release
Attention all Political, Education and World Reporters

Key Government, ignores plea for equality by Iwi Hapu and Whanau

The appointment of over 300 foreign pakeha to top posts throughout Government and no Iwi or tangata whenua has angered Iwi independence Paati Senior Political Analyst Geoffrey Karena. Saying it is another reason why up to 30% of Iwi will not participate in electing these totalitarian white supremacist invaders.

In the run up to the last election, as part of Nationals promise to Iwi they promised that Iwi would have a more prominent role to play in society, indeed in Government and appointments to such posts would have illustrated this commitment. Even if at least half of the three hundred high paying posts dished out by the government had gone to Iwi applicants would have signaled to Iwi that there was more commitment by government to fixing the apparent disparities between iwi and pakeha.

The Iwi independence Paati therefore would like to see this charade reversed
and that the will of Iwi for self-determination and independence through a fairer distribution of high paying positions be a priority. The reality for Iwi, Hapu and whanau is that we are through birth the rightful owners of this land and by that right we can decide what we feel are appropriate employment opportunities. This total disregard for iwi employment aspirations means that half of these high paying positions have been like our whenua stolen by pakeha foreigners. In addition, we believe all diplomatic posts be filled by Tangata Whenua.

Thence this Government has a lot to answer for after 101 days running the ship, perhaps they feel these positions are considered inappropriate for Iwi whatever the reason there is no excuse. If there were no applications from Iwi then the position should have been given to a quota system for iwi said Mr. Karena we do it for law students why not for positions of responsibility.

Hence the iwi independence paati pass a vote of "no confidence" to this Government and feel that Cabinet be taken to task for allowing this non-compliance to the promises of our ancestors to come to fruition, particularly if 50% of the applicants for any high flying posts are not guaranteed to Iwi. Through this obviously biased appointment process, it is clear to the Iwi Independence Paati that the colonial ideology of this government is misaligned and pathetic it is as if they are in denial. It seems Iwi have been relegated to the periphery of a society that is intent on remaining as the last flagship of a dying commonwealth.

Tena Tatou katoa

What a rip off this NZ government is aye cuzzies, firstly they turn up at one of our hui in the late 1700's and start getting the local whomsoever happened along to scratch an x on a piece of paper and they get a few blankets and tobacco, huh and they state in 2009 in a waitangi tribunal report on said land that it was legally sold to the crown for ever and ever for all time, and that the land is now the property of the invaders. What a pack of crooks those deals were illegal, selling was not the intention of the tangata whenua. There were obviously issues occurring within iwi, who were mixed in the pakeha being here in aotearoa. This was evidenced by those of nga puhi who did not support the crown and participated in nothing, and then there were those who supported the crown who fought for and on behalf of the crown. Oh and then there were those that fought both the crown and the iwi who who fought with the crown. Then there were those such as Ngati Awa, Ngati Hikutu, Pou etc who did not want anything to do with either of the differing trains of thoughts who just wanted to remain as they were. Be that at its own pace rather than that espoused by the then changing world. The majority of those that support the crown through time and circumstances beyond their control all end up fighting alongside those whanau who did the opposite and are today forming unlikely alliances that today we have to use to better assist us in wresting control and te mana motuhake of this whenua off the pakeha and back to the iwi owners.

Much of the reports written for the waitangi tribunal and claimants to Nga takiwa o Pewhairangi, and areas known to Nga Puhi etc, are hence today thus used by pakeha historians to weave their specific fantasy which they use to justify their existence in aotearoa and the invalidity of the Treaty Of Waitangi. The pakeha are using this document to ensure that iwi remember that the Land Deed Sales state clearly "the Iwi give up all rights to said lands to the queen of england for ever and ever" what a load of shit that is. To the pakeha Aotearoa was a waste land, terra naulis with no living beings here we were not even considered to be human. The Iwi tactics of those times were disjointed and ineffective to stem the theft of our whenua.

Conspiricy theory or fact

That Waikato Tairea Te ArikiNui o Ngati Awa, te Whakaminenga o Te Tai Tokerau went to England to see King Edward the 4th where on one of many visits he made from 1816 onwards the subject was free trade with Great Britain. The deal involved Seal and Whaling rights, timber Spars for sailing ships, agriculture, flax and settlement.
The guns he and Hongi Hika came back with were brought on the international arms markets with the gold and diamonds they had taken with them. The guns were used to displace those tribes who had been asked to make way for the coming british settlers, te whanga nui a tara was one such place for a settlement as was new plymouth, Auckland as a city was thought of later on as a settlement in that Kororareka and the bay of islands became too small for the hundreds of thousands of ships that were expected in our waters.

These instigators of this free trade deal are still in place and as such all our primary products such as meat, dairy products, timber, minerals etc., are free to western countries britain america etc, all at the behest of the deal worked out with Waikato Tairea in 1816. What the british were supposed to do was to pay iwi 13 pounds out of every hundred to go towards every iwi person of aotearoa for their Education, Healthcare, Employment, entertainment, etc. The system of this country is what iwi were responsible for establishing which this government calls its government as it stands today.

at the time the iwi who worked this deal were all murdered so kotahitanga was sparodic, with many of the tribes not knowing what was being transpired above them thence falsley wanting the pakeha resident in our towns and cities. Those that scratched the x on Land Sales for the majority of iwi lands had been taken for the incoming NZ Company Settlers via a deal worked out by the free trade deal of 1816.

I think this deal needs to be repealed

INDIGENOUS CELEBRATION OF FAILED U.S. “BAIL-OUT” OF WALL STREET - WE ARE HOPING THAT COLONIAL LAND SCAMS ON TURTLE ISLAND WILL COLLAPSE FOR GOOD.

MNN. Sept. 30, 2008. All is not lost. There is a good side to the economic “melt down” of the bankers’ attempts to continue their enslavement of the people. Thanks to the senators who refused to bail out these crooks, maybe we can save the planet. The U.S. dollar is going south hot on the heels of the U.S. reputation.

These swindlers believe that anyone who doesn’t have independent wealth has no claim to even the smallest crust of bread. The indigenous way is that nature provides to all. We have a right to the food we need.

We never surrendered our territories. Every square inch of Turtle Island is Indigenous. We are so glad the gluttony for our territories and resources may come to an end. We Indigenous are still here to issue our warnings.

European colonial incursion into Onowaregeh, Turtle Island, began with fraud and continued for 500 years, to the peril and detriment of the Indigenous peoples. In the late 1500’s the British issued illegal charters to land speculators such as Humphrey Gilbert and Walter Raleigh. They illegally sold 20 million acres of our land before they even set foot here. The scam continued to the present.

To stay in the colonial game everybody’s been forced to borrow. When the credit runs out the game is over for them. This is where these hacks took everybody. Now these “no goodniks” are still trying to scare everybody into submission.

President George Bush and his “crew” of obedient politicians and media “talking heads” thought that they could scare Congress into passing the bill to help out their banker friends. When it didn’t pass, the politicians and the media panicked. They ran around, pulling at their expensively coiffed hair and were lost for words. It turned out that Bush and company were lying to everybody yet again.

The U.S. lied and sold a bill of goods to everybody worldwide. Surprise! Surprise! The Europeans have been doing this to us and other Indigenous people for centuries. As a result of the fraudulent mortgage bundles the U.S. sold around the world, which the U.S. gave AAA guarantees to, local and foreign banks bought them up. They wanted to get in on the enslavement of the people. When the housing bubble burst, these bundles turned out to be totally worthless. They are stuck with them. This is all due to deception, greed and lying, something they often did themselves. Now the U.S. oligarchs are scrambling to restructure a new bail out proposal that would attract reluctant law makers and soothe the unnerved “Prozac ladened” financial markets.

The “giant suction cup” of wealth in the hands of a few swindlers is taking itself down. We hope indiscriminate mining, logging and oil exploration will decline. International trade is already affected. Canada ’s biggest trade export is to the U.S. They will not be able to buy from Canada like they used to. Who wants the U.S. dollar anyway?

It is criminal to raise money from the public on the stock exchanges putting up stolen land and resources as the collateral. We never gave our informed permission for anyone to access our territories and resources. This scam had to fall apart sometime.

Is this a catastrophe or a blessing? Can we hope that there will be no more oil and minerals taken out of our land; or water polluted and dammed; or trees clear cut and depleted; or skies, ground and rivers destroyed beyond habitation for us and everyone else; and no money to buy weapons to carry out wars and commit other human rights abuses. Fancy weaponry for the heavily armed police forces may have no bullets in them to shoot us with. Prisoners will be turned out of their cages.

Let’s look at it positively. People will have to learn how to live with less. Being poor will become fashionable. Second hand clothes will become trendy. Forget about that 52-inch TV you were thinking of getting. Get a smaller one. Better yet, save your electricity and stop watching TV. Get to know your spouse, family and kids. We have time for this because we don’t have jobs.

Our communities and relations with our neighbors will have to become stronger. We’ll find out that by working together we can not only survive but we can have fun.

Let’s declare a general strike and everybody can go to the thrift shop for our clothing and household appliances. The multi-nationally owned malls will be empty, full of goods and no one to buy them. We could sit on the benches, look into the windows and eat our brown bag lunches.

Local farming will be a must. We could have larger gardens because we’ll have time to look after them. The “survival sites” on the internet have a lot of great ideas for this. People won’t be able to get drugs or alcohol which some people used to relieve the problems created by the dog-eat-dog lifestyle.

Another good side of the melt down is that since the US dollar is worth less, or maybe even “worthless”, the investors will have a harder time to corrupt politicians or undermine us and our rights. Corporate, military and political heads will have to look at another way of making an honest living.

The exploitation and destruction of Turtle Island was by a certain elite who took advantage of everyone. It was a scheme that favored the most ruthless speculators. This time they failed to frighten the people. They are scrambling around to make the resuscitated bail-out look yummy and attractive. This could be financial ruin for these sharks. Let’s burn tobacco and hope for a strong wind to fan the flames to make sure they are dealt with properly.

Our great law, the Kaianerekowa, does have provisions for dealing with those who commit espionage, treason and conspiracy, similar to other societies. “It’s always interesting to see people who have murdered, lied and stolen to squirm, wiggle and tell more fantastic lies to keep their heads on their shoulders, their tongues in their mouths and their “hands” attached to their bodies when they realize they are ultimately going to be confronted by the peoples they defrauded. [rumormillnews.com]

The U.S. and Canada are guilty of killing and oppressing us to take control of everything we had. In exchange they gave us genocide, worthless treaties, empty words and now their debts. We were not the contracting party. They illegally used our land and resources to wheel and deal. We are not going to take responsibility for their debts. They have no credit or credibility with us. Let them implode.

We need to return to respect for the land and each other. Is it too soon to start the drums rolling so we can start dancing and singing?

the gods are on the side of indigenous peoples

Posted September 21st, 2008 at 02:31am

well it looks like the west is going into its last days, no hours who can and will be brought to the court of justice in the coming decades as the declaration of indigenous peoples begins to take effect around the globe we will see the perpetrators and instigators of some of the most heinous genocidal acts, annihilationist policies ever to be carried out on the indigenous peoples of the world. in the last decade with 3 to 4 million slaughtered in iraq, alone by market forces ably led by the crazed americans and their weapon of mass destruction. their weapon of choice has been the enslaved youth of its 400 million enslaved americans whom the government calls its citizen. what has become of the power of corridors of those who continually enslave its people, world wide the phenomenom of the unitedness of the type america uses, which russia uses, britain, and even the OA or organisation of african states. thus there exists within what is supposedly a transparent and fair system is no more than a committee of market led capitalist pigs. me and mine, me the individual, the ussr is led by a pack of greedy minded mean spirited individuals who want to hold poser for all time and to pass this same power on to its offspring for what to carry on generational slaughter of heathen savages. why is there such a desire to kill within these kind of united states systems, many say it is the first three words of the constitution where it states "we the people" much as is what is the exact wording of the united nations charter, is it that the international genral assembly which in itself is made of genocidal maniacs whom have come to these positions of power through their performances in the co,onies and as to how they perform in being able to slaughter indigenous people, with over 300 million killed by the allied forces across arabia, particularly lebanon, palistine, turkey, kurdistan, saudi arabia, afghanistan, pakistan, through to the philipines, east temor australia and NZ. what a record this socalled protector of all peoples rights has. the united nations through its veto holding nation of the security council has waged war on the world for far too long, when are we going to see change, since the bretton woods conference there has been none else but war and rumors of war all around the globe the united nations obstigates responsibility by claiming peace keeping duties which usually involves them disarming the indigenous people giving the colonial states sufficient invulnerability to relocate the indigenous people or generally slaughter them as has happened and is still happening in aotearoa. those that are immune to its weapons are imprisoned and from these they grow fierce armies to continue their dream of the new world order. don't get me wrong I think unitedness or the model of united nations or united nation states is a superior system to monarchy and its autocratic mechanisms. however united nations states has to be fed by electoral systems that are suitable to those peoples cultural histories and practices. worldwide the evidence points to oligarchies, enclaves or whole companies that hold a batch of voters, where 89% of some countries such as nigeria are recipients of tax dollars for the natural resources such a s oil. this is corrupt electtionering as the people are informed or coerced into voting to protect them and their families. differing from this path can lead to excommunication firstly from the company who pays for the house you live in who owns the shop where you buy your food from they own the school your kids go to how is that free and fair elections, in my county the pakeha or the british invaders keep us out of participating in the election process by disallowing us jobs, by keeping us poor and in abject poverty with laws that extinguish our votes, where we are not allowed to form our own political parties and where we are made to vote if we are educated enough to be able to read and comprehend the forms that are in the language of the invaders, and we have the choice of voting who of the invaders parties are going to enslave us for another three years. in a country where it is even against the law for indigenous people to even gather in groups of four or more in a public place, we are not even allowed our own businesses or if you want to do so then you have to jump 300% more hurdles than the invaders what up with that. we want freedom but to get freedom from this government we have to find the source of their ideology because they seem to have no ideology of theri own much more it is making itself known as that of a white power origin well we know this and we want them to piss off so if there is anyone out there who can see it as we see it and want to contribute to our cause then give us a ring I am at 0273488929. the difference has to be that at the whanau (family) level there has to be less emphasis on hierarchy and patriarchy, we have to give the women more of a role in society sure they say the age of feminism has led to increases worldwide into the lot of women but this is not evidenced by facts. perhaps there are more wahine running countries than there were twenty years ago but sadly these wahine (women) are mere shells of a man in that they are operating systems that were set up for white middle aged men, and the play of electioneering has to portray a wahine as one who can be decisive and have a rather masculine way of behaving, anyway the idea is that society is best run when men and wahine (women) are given equal status in world society karena

more iwi political parties take to the road

2008-08-24T21:34:00.006-07:00

kia ora koutou

point taken mate but no way am i trying to castigate the m party its just that having other iwi political parties out there gives our people choices, there is nothing wrong with variety. It is the only way of letting our people know that we are not lackeys because if we seem to be that if we get in there and are unable to through ignorance to make a difference then we can always vote them out in favour of someone else then we are serving that purpose. the m party polling at 2.4 percent in the polls mmm they need 5 percent for the list to take effect, but the M roll does not have lists.

And no we will not "relent this time" on the m party as we believe "the more (iwi political parties) the better" so what if the m party support is weakened. by having people voting for other iwi political parties that is what indigenous politics is about. we did not all support tainui and ngai tahu when they took the money from the crown for a full and final settlement expediting this close off period. Experience with politics for me be that student politics, local and national politics clearly shows that losing elections and not getting your way is a common occurrence. you therefore either massage your goals and policies to suit those sectors of your target society to better suit their needs and wants or go down in a flaming ball of fire.

Elections are more or less about the masses deciding who is going to take out the rubbish and who is going to dispose of our piss and shit and to keep the lights switched on, not much else. everything else like armed forces, schools, universities, hospitals and the like occur naturally where ever there are large concentrations of people. so if your policies as a party are well thought out and along those lines and that they come from a strong foundation such as "rights" or more specifically as stipulated in article three of the declaration of indigenous peoples rights, also article twelve of the united nations charter "the right to political representation" then voting for the m party only is ridiculous and counter productive to iwi having a society that is based on fairness, justice and a meaningful existence.
see I can collect the rubbish and dispose of the shit as well as the m party.

If we all agreed with what whatarangi and tariana of the m party decide is to be the policy of the party in terms of iwi rights then we are crazy to accept this as we will become like we already are, fully americanised britisher citizens where we are the taxpaying indigenous resource strippers stripping our own moana of our fish, stripping our own forests and strip mining all our own precious metals for this illegal government well bugger that hey and the m party say woe betide those who want to oppose them.

nevertheless of the multitudes of our people who are into the m party there are many they have rejected such as those who have criminal records, or those who are from the gay or lesbian community, or even those who are unemployed and in gangs, or smoke ciggies or marijuana and or who are beneficiaries. who represents these people we do thats who, and if you are muslim or budhist or anything that is not christianised then bo you is stuffed with that party so if you like them thats all well and good bro. but because some of us fit into those categories we have to take another look into the future, to determine what we think it may look like for iwi hapu and whanau and well I believe it will not always be as it is today, we may even have an iwi prime minister again one day but at least by having choices we are not always at the beck and call of the peripatetic white supremacists.

capitalist slaves olympic games over at last now we can get back to the war

2008-08-24T19:21:00.003-07:00

Ka tau tena e koutou

At last the capitalist "security council" funded olympic games along with its enslaved colonies are efn over or are they. So what the efn heck have we learned from this un-adultered exhibition of western capitalist neo liberal wank fest consumerism, what that nearly 90% of the worlds indigenous population are enslaved by the capitalist west with many western, communist countries China, USA, Jamaica, Spain, Kenya, Australia, Canada, Britain, Germany etc using indigenous athletes who have been enslaved for four to five generations. The games are one of the ways these slavemasters show to the rest of the world that the ideology of democratic individualising individualism is the way to go and that all who resist her will be severly dealt with. hence why there are over 198 wars, civil conflicts or civilian revolutionary strifes occurring somewhere around the globe as we speak. The lethal paternalistic instinct thus displayed by these capitalist dogs of war is evidenced by the fact that thousands of indigenous peoples are bombed every day either by the american, russian, french, chinese, nato and allied armed forces. what the....... I hear you say yep

where were the indigenous teams, there were none this was the capitalist peoples games generally the christian peoples games oh and those communist countries who because of the large nature of its armed forces are allowed in anyway so really it has no right to call itself representative of the world as it is made up just 140 nations mainly common wealth countries where are the other four hundred indigenous tribes whom are nations in their own right. but like many indigenous peoples their lands have been taken off them by the G20, group of countries and many of them are represented at the United Nations General Assembly. Is that representation worth nothing as those with the largest populations and the biggest armies are the ones who call all the shots what a load of crap man when will indigenous rights be taken seriously before there is change in this world are we to be always told by some foreign dominator's as to what we can have for tea. in aotearoa it is like that we can not prepare our sons and daughters for a bright future in aotearoa we can but prepare them for war. we can only teach them hate and revenge, restitution and rebellion what else is there? there are no jobs for our people we are ruled with an iron fist by a government that is reminiscent of the stories told to us by our old people of the time the pakeha invaded. they told of a time when they were hounded unto near extinction by this government to me we want an end to this sort of rule by fear. so if anyone wants to vote for these two authoritarian parties labour or national then you do so at your own risk because they will not care that you voted for them they are descendents of brutal invaders so then we will have to create an escalation of hostilities on these invaders. what else is there, its like when I asked my son why he did not do the dishes, replies and says well dad I wanted to leave something for you to do, I go mouth agape I cracked up, but seriously son I go, there is going to be a war soon and he replies yes dad I have been hearing that all my life so yeah there you go then.

the west have been looking at making asia another of its territories like a sort of sphere of influence where they might want to trade the wool they steal from aotearoa for oil but the chinese do not want wool as they have silk. although precious metals like silver and gold are sought after in asia a commodity the west has in abundance which they stole off iwi and other indigenous peoples of the continents of america, of africa, south america etc., just so they can participate in the mining of oil in the pacific and other regions like oceania where these precious metals are plentiful.

the olympics where the meaning to life is no more important than being the best gymnast in the world, or being the fastest man or women over a hundred metres in the world, what then what is after that. do we pick a world team in every sport then go and challenge uranus or challenge jupiter no we have not got that far yet as these operators of the world, the UN, the IMF, the World Bank, G20 and all the members of the security Council of the world decree that this is it. surely the olympics should be used to test our athletes as we collectively look to the skies as another area to venture out into. testing one for speed will not matter in the universe or will it, swimming the hundred metres in an universal games would be a spectacle worth watching.

what these games look like to many particularly to the indigenous peoples of the world, is the ole "I am greater than thou" ho ha ha. some hoity toity gentleman's club of enslavers of the minions, where success is determined by how many dollars each nation has spent on each of its medals this number can get to ridiculous heights. or how much did it cost you to bring that slave to that level of preparedness, what the ef ever.

in the case of NZ well our athletes (I am discussing this because our indigenous TV is only on for eight hours a day: so I was left watching either the pakeha infomercials or the games) performed dismally, also all the athletes are not tangata whenua they are all foreigners. anyway we the indigenous people do not value the winning of a gold medal of any importance participation is good though.

To newer parties like the iwi independence paati who do not enjoy the same public profile as the m party, we are committed to iwi hapu and whanau independence, self-determination and the return of all land to an iwi hapu and whanau paremata. these goals are not popular nor are they fully understood by the general iwi population probably because they know little of this sort of talk. Much like my mum and dad who voted for labour all their voting life while they were around. when asked why they did that my mum replied because my dad did, and his dad before him too, sheesh what a joke. Also if these members of the m party caucus are there to support the kaupapa of the treaty of waitangi then we are lost, the waitangi tribunal will soon close off all claims september the 1st 2008 bloody toe rag baldheads.

If the m party take te tai tonga, and they manage to get one of the general seats, what good is that the polls show no indication that any of the general electorates are going to the m party, they may take the other three seats but whose purpose will that serve no ones but the treaty supporters. it will not support the indigenous spirit for freedom no way. their purpose in there would be over, the idea that the treaty could be deleted is another reason why the need for more specific iwi, hapu and whanau political parties is paramount to our moving forward as a nation as a distinct peoples where we will see our own flesh and blood representing nga puhi and not some descendant of the murderers of our people at the olympic games. I congratulate my whanaunga Mr Larkin awesome we need more indigenous political parties in there not more yes men and wahine for the pakeha, a hapu party would definately be a bonus and will also mean that all the other parties will have to communicate with us and that eventually we should thence see more of a spread of ideals and ideologies being debated in the house not just some englishafied wants by the members of parliament as the beseech their queen in foreign lands for justification. We also as I am sure David Rankin has a list candidates as well which i am sure will be released in future but the ideal time for me is when we are told that Mixed Member Proportional Representation will take effect in Cabinet.

good on the m party for having their list out here, now we can criticise and ngau tuara about them and well yeah. even though the m seats do not qualify for list seats this applies to general seats only it is so positive to see this even though there is no need to create a list. but hey we will see perhaps all the pakeha's sleep in on voting day and we will be in but you know I doubt if that would happen. In fact the present electoral act illegally disenfranchises iwi and iwi hapu whanau voters at the election. because if you are on the M roll you get one vote, although you tick two boxes on the ballot paper, your party vote is not counted. The act will not allow for lists in the M electorates as they are for the natives and well they do not have rights as the colonisers do that is why they do not want to give us jobs because we are not english enough. we are considered to be no better than beasts, savage heathens. so we are thrice disenfranchised by the damned invaders. if the m party do get more people into parliament it will be to no avail they will get so bogged down with parliamentary mahi that they will not be able to help the kahui whanau of aotearoa nor will they be able to stem the flow of iwi deaths caused by this governments brutal social, and economic policies. Their presence in there will not be tolerated. however as I supported MMP when it was brought in I believe that there is time for this government to reform itself so that this legislation can take effect. to date this labour led government has held us all in illegal bondage since mmp became the preferred method of political elections in this country. as it is we are left to compete in a competition that is stacked against us from the word go. We do not have the resources to set up nationwide branches and electorates nor are we able to gain popular support through articulating our policies because this government run media will not allow it.

anyway we are more about iwi being an independent nation with its own council or paremata one that is based on the tribal rohe with its an election method that is transparent and not prone to corruption and nepotism. the line up as you have given is full of people who have supped scrumptiously from the trough of the white man, and who to this day will have no compunction about signing our death warrants. that is what worries me about these dudes. but rather than justify these statements about these people the idea of having more iwi hapu whanau political paaties is the only way ahead for iwi today.

rather than look pissed off and setting up a tent embassy in parliament we will rather go to parliament as the m party is want to articulate a bi-something or multi-something or rather thingee. anyway we are more specific in our goals we want what all indigenous peoples world-wide want particularly those who have suffered at the hands of a brutal oppressive invader the british freedom from oppression.

We want them gone yesterday at the moment because of the normalising effect of the present membership of the m party and the makeup of its candidates iwi will be no better off even with the seven seats going our way woopdy doo.

recolonisation stand up for mugabe indigenous rights advocate

Robert Mugabe is an indigenous hero

bringing 200 years of british oppression and brutality to an end in zimbabwe is what mr robert mugabe is doing. where did you get the idea that mugabe is the instigator of the violence, he is trying his best to manage a situation where it has been the colonials who are to blame. as in many decolonising countries the punishment of the friendlies are always going to happen, that is happening here, it happened in virtually every nation within the africa continent following the decolonisation act of 1920.

whenever the colonialists are kicked out bloodlessly or without a huge country destroying war their system of governance is left intact and the friendlies left in charge of the country and in every instance to reimpose the previous oppressive in your face totalitarian neo-liberal rampant capitalist government using the intact colonial police force, the colonial armed forces coupled with the wealth of the state to carry out the wishes of the overlords that are usually foreign. these swazi type governments are eventually overcome by the indigenous or original inhabitants but not without huge loss of life, and ill gained fortunes.

so many of the refugee's fleeing zimbabwe are all trained in the way of the invaders and pose a huge threat to the stability of an emerging indigenous nation so I congratulate robert mugabe in his efforts to rid the country of those who choose to undermine the sovereignty of the indigenous people of zimbabwe by backing from the british government they are essentially declaring their intent which is to destabilise the country. when aotearoa free's itself from the nz british guberment we too will kick out all those who have worked for the invaders, be that as cleaners, as lecturers in their schools, a teacher, kindergarten teachers. if you were a case manager for the welfare department, a security guard in a colonial bank, a bank teller what ever, when we take over aotearoa there is the chance that you may be banned from the new aotearoa or we will have you and all your whanau imprisoned or ejected from the country if you worked for or ever voted for the invaders. na not really but then ya never know what people are capable of hoqwever we are a very forgiving and reasonable people much as mugabe and the zanu PF party, how different is what he is doing to what this illegal government is doing to iwi, it is that what he is doing is correct for the people, they are dismantling the oppressive white system and replacing it with what appears to the outside world to be an oppressive society but the fact of the matter is that those whom his supporters have been seen to hunt down and kill the opposition organisers are clearly not of his instruction. these would be the new to the zanu PF theory of society whose enthusiasm is now not in doubt a strong party though such as their one would all ways have an answer resolving and rectifying issue.

but this government here is an illegal one and we are not even hearing any discussion from the government as to what they are going to do to satisfy our inquiry or to rectify the issue so that we as a people can move on and take our rightful place as the collective conscience of nga iwi hapu and whanau, not some thing from england efn overlord crap. no way we say go back to england.

Any way it is state governments and all the allied governments who are causing the price of petrol to have gone up so much they have control on the price they charge to import the stuff into the country, between 99% and 75% of that two dollars a litre charge are because of government tax, the allies get oil for nothing from their brothers the americans, the petrol hoarders and they charge the people for it however there are bringing the stuff here costs. now we have to fend off their marketers as we become more and more impoverished by spiraling costs as they wage more wars on unsuspecting indigenous people worldwide and you are helping them by buying their petrol.

In the next decade as international indigenous land laws begin to take effect the price of petrol will be rise above $10 a litre making it impossible for individuals to own cars and for farming being as petrol reliant as farming is, farming will become the sole place of international corporations and or self contained communities like iwi hapu me nga whanau. individuals will not be able to eke out a living that way what with iwi land claims for every piece of whenua. like the bro reuben says we have to look at the whenua now as the saviour of our whanau in that each town and city has two weeks food left if they are for some reason cut off from civilisation, what will our people do to get a feed we have to go out to the whenua and get puha, nga watakerehe, kaura, hi ika, hua whenua aua mea katoa.

So worrying about petrol for your over-consuming car will be something you may not get a chance to do for too long. Yeah so we have to create alternatives to petrol, bio-fuels. Most of todays cars can be converted without much trouble to run on plain ole water, see www.youtube.com for detailed instructions and we will warn our people of the truth of this situation in that it is the capitalist (make profit for the bosses first) philosophy to get people addicted to 2 dollar a litre of petrol, almost as bad as all these other christians who are into the worst sin of them all the forcing of billions of dollars of aid in the time of natural disasters on devastated countries then they charge the effected country for their services and these armies of disguised as aid worker christians use and force on unsuspecting affected peoples their neo liberal culture.

the amount of energy we consume has to be taken into account in regard to the increasing natural disasters occurring around the world. By buying petrol you are willingly contributing to the premature death of this planet 30 million years before its time. Just so you can get to drop off and pick up the kids from school when there is a more cost effective school bus service. Or you drive to that hui just down the road when walking would have been easier on the environment or that you drove to the shop instead of walking or you drove to work where you could have used public transport so what. You think well pay for the petrol it is not your fault everything is like this you just went along with society which told you to go get a wife have two or three kids buy two cars and a big house with a swimming pool, thats all good or is it. We have to be more concerned about our effect on papatuanuku, but you probably say what I do is up to me if I want to do that and I have the resources then why not well I guess we have to make the sacrifice and become the solution to global warming not the cause.

also as can be seen on the news everyday the world is in a financial spiral downwards so that in a very short space of time central, regional and local governments in aotearoa will like all other capitalist western economies implode on themselves because of their penchant toward hoarding and overconsumption. This prediction is easily seen as it is already manifesting itself with unprecedented food price rises of 0.8% nationwide, 200% rent rises, exaggerated house prices, shrinking wages compared with the cost of living and increasing incidences of homelessness, domestic violence, crime statistics and suicides. Another indicator has been the closing down of huge employers of people, where three months ago it was a weekly occurrence for employers of over one hundred people to close. This has now turned into an avalanche, the tiwai smelter, Orini freezing works, retail factories levin, Otaki, Napier in fact all over the country are closing or threatening to close or move offshore with the rising dollar being blamed, however we know it is because of the capitalists wars they are waging around the world the 13 billion dollars a month cost of the iraq conflict the 187 wars they are maintaining all around the world who can maintain the cost of those wars well it is us the consumer, through our buying their ill-gotten goods we fund the war against indigenous people waged by the west. We want the american and western investors to pull their investments out of aotearoa get lost go back to england.

the armed forces and the police will be impotent to stop widespread looting and reoccupation of our whenua when the country goes belly up because of their reliance on petrol. So give iwi your support now as we will provide you hinu mo nga waka. certainly the price of these necessary things are what people feel is beyond their ability to influence but we say you can support the iwi independence paati at http://bebo.com/iwiindependence the pakeha are freaking, ha ha..... after their capitalist war against iraq they have no pinga's left they are befeft of anything other than our dole and lots of rhetoric. and soon they will be as a ship left adrift to float accidentally back to england.

Reinstated Kingdom of Hawaii possible

Subject: Reinstated Hawaiian Kingdom on Trial

Henry Noa's Reinstated Kingdom of Hawaii possible solution
April 22, 2008

The Maui County courthouse was an unusual sight on Friday, April 4, 2008. A crowd had gathered to be present for the last day of testimony and closing arguments in the case of the "Kaho'olawe Three" - perhaps the most premeditated defense of Hawaiian National land rights that has ever been litigated.. Trespassing cases typically take less than 30 minutes of the courts' time.. This motion for dismissal by the defense had taken three days of testimony over the course of two years, required the flying in of international law experts and the combined efforts of six attorneys for the State Prosecutors' office.

Before the trial, the crowd moved down Main Street and into the courthouse compound, carrying placards of support for the defense and expressing frustration over the long effort to reclaim home rule over the Crown Lands of these islands.

Many of those assembled had been in continuous effort to prepare for this very day for over ten years. The combined goal was that their reinstatement process of the Lawful Hawaiian Government receive a fair and thorough international defense in a court of law, and begin what is expected to be a series of appellate court reconsiderations leading to a judicial acknowledgement of their sovereignty.

The courtroom scene itself was remarkable for several reasons. One was that the State of Hawaii Prosecutors Office had six attorneys in the courtroom, although only four of them were on record. Also unusual was the absolute silence of the packed court. The supporters made no audible expressions during the entire three-day court proceeding as the judge considered perhaps the most unusual defense that she likely will ever hear in her courtroom.

While you may have heard of many such sovereignty cases in the past, this one was perhaps the best prepared and best aligned with international law of any that have ever been presented.

Despite the presence of many State attorneys, no witnesses were called to counter the two that the defense brought and only minimally cross examined. This extraordinary number of prosecutors, with minimal activity, brought up questions about the validity of the Hawaii State Prosecutions' argument. That the judge allowed the international law expert, teacher, former judge and prosecuter John Gates to testify for the defense, seemed to unravel the Prosecution, as they had few questions for Mr. Gates and did not seem to counter any of his assertions. The Judge also allowed Henry Noa, three-time elected Prime Minister of the Reinstated Kingdom of Hawaii, to testify with records of their governmental process. The records were voluminous and outlined completely, to the casual observers' mind, the functions of a government providing for its citizens.

Perhaps you read in the Haleakala Times last year of the defense that Henry Noa, Nelson Armitage, Russell Kaho'okele and their top-flight lawyers had prepared to claim the island of Kaho'olawe as a legitimate possession of their reinstated Kingdom. Now they and their citizens wait for the verdict, expected in months, as to whether they will be the sovereign entity that they claim to be, or whether they will have to take their claims to higher courts.
Much is at stake for the state if the defendants prevail regarding their defense that they entered Kaho'olawe as officials of a sovereign Hawaiian government and not as individuals. Much is also at stake for the State of Hawaii. There are 2.8 million acres of original Crown Land that have been in perpetual suspension, waiting for the reinstatement of a sovereign entity being re-established in Hawaii. Recently, the Hawaii Supreme Court handed down a verdict that, indeed, the state could not dispense with Crown lands until the issue of a sovereign Hawaiian entity was resolved. Could this be that resolution?

Does the Akaka bill resolve this? Gates says that neither the state of Hawaii nor Congress can create a sovereign entity. He says that the Akaka Bill can only create a dependant nation status entity, like the American Indian nations, and that in fact they cannot remove Hawaiian national rights to re-form their sovereign status.

The actual title of Akaka Bill is: Native Hawaiian Reorganization Act. In many ways, it would accomplish what the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 did. Gates says that Act reorganized traditional Native peoples' governments that were based on their own customary laws, with boiler plate "constitutional governments. " He says the Akaka Bill is a not-so-clever way to further disenfranchise the inheritors of Hawaiian sovereign rights, which makes Hawaii's legal situation a little like that of the American indigenous peoples.. He also says that the history of treatment of Native Americans is so atrocious that no sane person would want to sign on to that status.

It should be clear that while there have been dozens of legal defenses that claim Hawaiian sovereignty as their premise, always absent was the pregnant question - where was the government that these persons were claiming to represent? A nation is a very specific term, as Gates so clearly laid out to the court during this trial. These national qualifications have been a thorny issue for every sovereignty defense in Hawaii, and ones that Henry Noa and his soon-to-be recreated legislature tackled in 1998. In fact, their reinstatement task has been monumental, taking over ten concerted years to meet the standards that Gates outlined.

Nations do not lose their right to be sovereign except under circumstances that do not apply to Hawaii, according to Gates. Congressional Law 103-150, the Apology Bill, passed into law in 1993, clearly outlines the rights of the peoples of these islands to reorganize themselves as a sovereign nation.. County and State laws must yield to Congressional law, and even Congressional laws must yield to treaties of the U.S. and the Law of Nations and the UN. Gates pointed out that since Hawaii and the U.S. were signatories to the Law of Nations, they have no legal authority to deny Mr. Noa and the Reinstated Kingdom of Hawaii their reinstatement rights and use of the Crown lands that include Kaho'olawe. They are simply preempted by the U.S. adherence to international law.

Gates concluded his testimony by stating that The Reinstated Kingdom of Hawaii should be recognized as a reinstated sovereign government and should resume the functions of government that were interrupted, so diabolically, in 1893.

Some history buffs will laugh at the thought that the United States will adhere to anything but what is in their strategic and economic interests. Gates gave ample examples of historical precedents for this, and suggested that the claims before the court in this case are exactly how the U.S. can deliver justice to the descendants of the Nation of Hawaii. Can we ever have peace with this issue without justice?

The trial will be aired on Akaku local access channel in the next few weeks..

Prime Minister Henry Noa has extended a welcome to all persons residing in the Hawaiian Islands to study the ethical and legal underpinnings of his government and consider citizenship. No aboriginal blood quantum is required to participate in this democracy, just as it was before annexation, and aloha is still the operating principle, as it always was.

Jace Hobbs is the "educational chairperson for the island of Maui's Reinstated Kingdom of Hawaii, or the Lawful Hawaiian Government." Hobbs is also Director of the Orphaned Burmese Children's Home.

Well I guess the proponents of those who want us to think ngati porou and iwi will be very pleased indeed with the results of the foreshore and seabed act 2004 outcomes to date. well we the iwi independence paati are not happy about it not at all, in fact we find its potrayal as something good as in poor taste and farken unacceptable. What makes you think that this is a good outcome, veto can but survive in a climate of its own making not the making by an invading force plus it has to decided by the many not some invader gubermant all can be taken away if certain principles are not aboded by. makes one wonder at the sheer ridiculousness of why such support would be welcomed without even considering the 'for instances". rather presumptuous surely to think that this is a good thing.

let me tell you this, as well as not wanting to sound too pedantic on it as some are want to mention, the issue for me is that these little socalled concessions as the gubermant wants to show are sure good for the now, the immediate time, however it is for iwi a further entrenchment in this country of pakeha hegemony, which we do not want. we want you guys gone do not come back, get lost and don't come back thats what we want, this legislation delays your departure by three hundred years, I can not have you mean spirited maniacs, psychopaths and assassins killing our rangatahi any longer, get lost. your school system sucks, I have seen 7 year old kohanga reo iwi kids come out of kura and try and beat to death pigeons whats up with that, they even try and chop down trees what the heck are they teaching them in the schools they teach our people to become resource strippers. they even teach them how to be slaves to the white man to his way of life bugger that. how is that good for our people we want freedom.

this labour and national government are doomed to be the captains of a sinking ship we want freedom and this election will be a step in the right direction for our people. the foreshore and seabed bill is sure going to seem like it gives iwi something but do not be fooled this is merely a precursor for the government to hold iwi to task on anything to do with the resourse anyway we will fight and wait for ship to sink but sink it will. The people of this country were shocked at the way the Helen Clark socialist neo-liberalist monarchist commie labour party refused to sign the declaration of indigenous peoples. well it was a shock and a wake up call for all those disillusioned middling lower upper middle class whites browns and all other colors out there farming raping and destroying aotearoa. yeah what this government did by refusing to sign the declaration reaffirmed its desire to impose its colonial rule on its indigenous peoples with no care of the shifts in thinking the world over in reagrd to how you deal and work with youer indigenous people also the ramifications of the 1960 decolonisation ac, they will just carry on regardless. they are even experiencing vast growth in their territories with the building of new facilities for imprisonment indicating a beorgening growing population in each of the countries prisons that did not sign the declaration on some very angry indigenous peoples.

the trend is that those who did not sign or abstained from signing are countries who have terrible records in their pasts of massacres, mass graves, and genocide of the most horrendous kind, the spanish, the english, the dutch the norse they were all psychopaths, this government is no different we want them gone from our land why should we continue to vote for a government that condones mass murder and mass imprisonment of a third to three quarters of its indigenous population and keeps the rest imprisoned in housing estates and reservations and low paying jobs.

To live in bondage is all we have in this country we want aotearoa to be an independent nation we do not need no pakeha here we have the resources the people skilled in this. we are in the age of Aquarius the age of creativity the age of true enlightenment where first there will be the downfall of tyranny of fanatical democratic leadership. we will see the water bearer bring on the destruction of the industrial revolution with the failure of scientific endeavor because of its impreciseness. then there will be the return to communal living of pure unadulterated anarchy. in anarchy we see the end to central control more regionality local cooperatives, growers selling locally and businesses set to provide services for all. anarchy means the end of oppression freedom and peace to all, all industry belongs to the community the community selects its operatives those who collect the taxes and those who store the excesses all industry is public property. the difference of democracy to anarchy is that in democracy the governments are the domain of the elite those who have profited from what were normal people wants and needs. in an anarchist society those who operate the system create of excess for the people. the people must be changed every now and then if they profit too greatly they are imprisoned etc.

ABSTRACT

This essay will examine and discuss the genealogy and governance systems of the Tangata Whenua or indigenous peoples of Aotearoa, a people who have a long and celebrated history of Empires, cannibal armies and generational world encompassing migratory travels, which they have traveled for millennia. The ancient Waiata, Whaikorero and sacred legends found on inscriptions all over Aotearoa speak of the places of origination for Iwi, they refer to places like “Hawaiki Nui, Hawaiki Roa, Hawaiki Pamamao, Hawaiki Tautau and Rangiatea” places, which have become the theoretical places of origination for the indigenous tribes peoples that were found in Aotearoa from 1462, 1769 and onwards by western explorers. The orthodox theories of Iwi origination have only referred to Iwi as having migrated from the east, or from south East Asia[1]. However, this thesis shows how it is probable that they as well as coming from the east, also traveled from the America’s always towards the rising sun. Therefore, it is more likely that the Hawaiki spoken of here is not the Hawaii referred to and popularized by Percy Smith and others scientists at the turn of the 19th century. But it is more than likely, the Hawaiki stated by Hohepa Te Rake in reference to the migration theory from Mesopotamia, Iberia, Mehiko and North and South America and into the Pacific, which is verified by ancient stone inscriptions found in Kerikeri in 1924.

This essay will also show that Iwi are a matriarchal society, and that the system of governance used was called Ariki-Tanga. It will show how the Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa developed an Ideology and culture around this matriarchal Ariki line, a feudalistic form of leadership that was a unique system of governance. In that as a people, Iwi not only gained the respect and admiration of all the other Nations and peoples they met during the many thousands of generations of their circumnavigation of the planet, they also managed to survive the various pakiha invasions while populating the entire planet. Therefore, from the evidence presented in this essay we will be able to see why there is no doubt that Iwi can carry the title of “the mother race”.

Therefore, in discussing the whereabouts of Iwi, another objective is to also examine this system as well as the ideologies of the Ariki-Tanga, or the tangata Whenua Tanga of Te Iwi. Whom it will show evolved a society of such sanguine optimism and perseverance that they were able through a combination of collective ideals, compromistic internal and external development and migrationary expansion, to develop the definitive mechanism and blueprint of what Ariki-Tanga or governance is or was. It was refined to such a high degree that they were not only able repeatedly to rule the world, they invariably were a major player in shaping it. So much so that what we know of the whence of Iwi as a pre-known society and the influences this has had on people of the world today, has to be looked at and reinterpreted. For instance, who else but Iwi could have created the huge architectural structures, the terrace gardens, Puhi-Tanga and the skill of writing? It had to have been Iwi as they are the only peoples world-wide who can Whakapapa to those times. So to search for positive proof of the path Iwi traveled and the territories they acquired, conquered and or ruled plus the nations they established will surely prove to be the discovery of the century. I will also examine the genealogical connections of the mythical and the spiritual. These will be examined through the philological and epigraphical sciences that will then be compared to the philosophies spoken of by Iwi scientists and the philosophies they abide by. So that what I will show, will be that the Ancient History of the Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa was shaped by the unique Iwi philosophy or practice of Ariki-Tanga, a matriarchal form of feudal communism. This encapsulates such social values as, respect, Aroha, Manaki-Tanga Iwi-Tanga Hapu-Tanga, Whanaunga-tanga and whakapapa, these phenomena will show that Te Iwi are indeed the most unique people on the planet and will show how and why they are considered to be the super race or the mother race of all humanity.

Research Methodology

The research methodology that will be used in this study will assist me in establishing what the question is, what the paradigms and standards are that underpin Ariki-Tanga, also what is an Ariki? As in studies of this nature, there are many types of research tools that one can use to seek answers to the question, however because the focus of this essay is Ariki as a governance system, then what we are looking for is spread across many if not all the sciences and disciplines known to mankind. Therefore, a hermeneutic study would be more appropriate since we are trying to locate the connections between the multitude of variables and similarities alluded to by research scientists of Iwi to other archetypical types of indigenous peoples of the world. Where the prototypical and cultural norms traditions, ancient legends and practices of Iwi, which have although been extensively examined by Iwi and pakeha for centuries, do not reach the conclusion that all indigenous peoples of the world are descended from Iwi, through the Ariki-Tanga and that they do have a written language and that they are the mother race, not the savage heathens they have been made out to be.

By using a hermeneutic study, we can re-examine the pakiha theory of Iwi origination such as the three-wave theory where Iwi were supposed to have accidentally bumped into Aotearoa firstly in 800, 1200 BC and 1350 BC. The theory is that these migrations all came from the west, but I am saying that they came from the West as well, traveling towards the setting sun. Which questions the validity of what pakeha have determined to be the truth concerning the possible whereabouts of Iwi, that could be a hoax based on fantasy, mere constructions of modern westernization theory. The Ariki-Tanga System utilized by Te Iwi even today, predates the system used by The Sumer the Assyrian, the Egyptians, the Greeks, Romans, Mongol, Inca, and American Indian ancient peoples societies. In fact, Iwi society predates all societies and races of this Planet. The system that we are studying is called “Ariki-Tanga” the forerunner to the contemporary Ideologies of ‘Democracy’, Communism, Fascism, Socialism, Liberalism, Capitalism and Feudalism.

Hermeneutics is the type of research paradigm that allows the reexamination of conclusions that have been used to define and describe Iwi in this case their whence in contemporary, modern and Ancient times. Research science requires that one design research that suits that particular subject however this is not a true Heurmanutical study, as it includes pagan sciences. This allows for methods of research to be used that have not been used before, which will, as well as covering all these sciences, focus at length on Pagan or and indigenous scientific interpretations. Thence as we go through each chapter, we will cover different sciences and theories and if it seems repetitive, I assure you it is not, I am merely trying to develop theories around subjects that are so inextricably connected and similar, as they each particularize certain areas, areas that are not similar but in fact are not, but they are more relevant to the subject of each chapter or sub-chapter than the previous. For instance the example of Mesopotamia, which is found in books by Elsdon Best, Percy Smith, Te Rangi Hiroa, Apirana Ngata and many others[2] have been discounted, but because this is a hermeneutic study they will be referred to. Only because it is possible to do, this will then be compared to the work of Archeologists, philosophers and theologist’s discourses of the ancient Iwi. Then compared to the theories of Hohepa Te Rake, Waikato Tairea and David Simmons. There will also be comparisons made to the Gods of other indigenous peoples to the Iwi gods, Hani raua ko Puta the supreme one[s] and the many other primary gods of societies world-wide. These will be compared to the myths and legends recorded by scientists for centuries and millennia of Ancient Indigenous civilizations that this study claims Te Iwi founded.
The following chapters will begin by introducing and discussing what an Ariki is, and what is Ariki-tanga where the concept originated and from whom did it descend. For this I will use evidence provided by pakeha and indigenous scientists who have done research on Iwi, on Sumer, Assyria, Maya, Inca, Yucatan Polynesia etc. Like Assyrianologists, Noah Kramer (1979) whose interpretations of Ancient Sumer Tablets (Sumeria = Hawaiki-Nui) posited a time of origination for humanity way in excess of the orthodox theory of 50.000 years by at least 500.000 years. By this discovery, the Archaeological world was catapulted into a frenzy, in their attempt to try to discount the theory of a society that was possibly more ancient than western society. The interpretations of these discoveries produced amongst ethnographers’ historians and archeologists’ world-wide, a wild furor, as the resulting claims turned their weak assertionist theories of the whereabouts of the Ancient peoples of Aotearoa into that ‘mere assertions’. Which compared to what Iwi scientists had stated, placed their knowledge base on shaky ground[3]. From the easier access to Middle Eastern Archaeological sites after World War one and two, there emerged a proliferation of such discoveries, there were numerous studies and reports done that also challenged the accepted theories of the whereabouts of all peoples, this is one such study, following is a breakdown of the chapters.
Chapter one: Te Upoko: will discuss “Ariki” what it is, how it became what it is, what are its doctrines, discussing how matriarchy, Freedom, Justice, reciprocity and the inevitability of fate, enabled Iwi or the Tangata Whenua o Aotearoa to be who we are and to have a written language.

Chapter Two: Te Kaupapa: will examine the connectedness of Iwi to the Sumer and Assyrian people, it will look at lingual and inscriptive analyses, discussions on societal structure and comparative discussions on archeological discoveries. This will show how Ariki-Tanga as a regulatory interactive type of matriarchical anarchic inclusiveness that included cannibalism as one of its practices, was a society that possibly enveloped the entire world.
.
Chapter three: Te Tinana: will examine the ancient history of Iwi concerning myths legends and tradition from the Sumer People to Te Iwi, examining their possible technological developments and ideological pantheons, and how and why writing developed and evolved, discussing also cultivation and the impact it has had on Iwi.
Chapter four: Te Puku: will analyze Imperialism, comparing the doctrine of Karl Marx to Iwi philosophy, to see how the need for expansionism by the imperialist nations particularly in this case the English, precipitated the near demise of indigenous people world-wide, Iwi did not go unscathed.
Chapter five: Te Waewae will analyze the Ko Huiarau, a governance system that Iwi used to communize control and sustain the resources and knowledge of Te Iwi, and consequently the World. A philosophy that has shown to be a very effective mechanism, that Iwi will once again use for the re-establishment of Iwi sovereignty and rule in Aotearoa.

Introduction

This Introduction explores the word Ariki-Tanga, said to mean the Aristocracy of the Tangata Whenua of Aotearoa. The people who make up the Ariki-Tanga have a long and extensive history of Empires, Warfare, and lethal Armies. I will argue that the uniqueness of the Te Iwi form of Governance, called Ariki-Tanga and the manner in which it affected the social structure of Te Iwi in fact Society worldwide will ultimately support the proposition that the cause and shape of Ariki-Tanga was through the unique Te Iwi phenomenon of matriarchical communism.
The benefits of this type of study are that it will help us to retain and document the knowledge that will be used later as a reference, as an educational resource, and as an introduction manual for those interested in the true origination theory of Te Iwi. This must be there for those in the future to study. Whereby normally, concentrated academic research on this sort of topic is left unstudied, I believe it is through the further development of these exciting theories on the structure of Te Iwi Society, which will add to the canon of Te Iwi knowledge, becoming a reference point for future Te Iwi students.
Te Iwi
So in order to gain some understanding of who is being researched in this thesis, some commentary must be made on the people involved. Therefore, this thesis will focus on the history of the people who whakapapa to ancestors (preferably Wahine) who had been resident in Aotearoa five generations before the year 1800. This will define an overview of the Tangata Whenua, so that when discussing important issues such as location and ancient historical events this will be invaluable for the reader in future chapters. The boundaries of Te Iwi in this study are from the shores of Te Reinga, to Te Rakaiuru, in this instance, but which through tradition and Myth refer to the entire planet. While the earth boundaries are indisputable, the specifics as such include Mesopotamia, Iraq, Iran, all of Europe, Africa, North and South America, Egypt, Babylon, Iberia, Russia, China The Pacific, and many more. As Hohepa Te Rake (1926:129) points out:

…‘The ‘Te Iwi Sacred legends’, show that they the Brown or brunet peoples (Te Iwi), known as the Iharaia have spread all over the World’.

Therefore, as this Tribal stronghold also includes the present as well as historical territories also the ancient and Pre-Historic Territories of Te Iwi (see map page 5, Rout: 1926) then they are definitively worthy of study.

Te Ahua o nga Ariki.

There have been numerous studies done on Ariki and Ariki-tanga as to what it is, what it means, how it works, and what were/are its properties as will be alluded to in the opening chapters of this essay, 'Ariki’ or Ariki-Tanga' was and is an Ideology. Which Te Iwi had invented, that is specific to the feudal society Iwi utilised pre-european whether it was a preferred system, and it is a society that was based on democracy where the election of the leaders and rulers occurred. A system that was designed to provide the tribes people with all that their hearts so desired, a system that required, before any major decision was made, consultation with ninety percent of the population. Whose recognize-ability is seen today in Iwi Societal reactions to issues that confront them today. To achieve an understanding of what the word means we will firstly look at what Ariki-Tanga was as a concept, looking at what commentators determined Ariki to have meant and particularly what the Iwi scientists stated that it was. In addition, we will also examine Pakeha scientific theories and hypothesis in regards to what was an Ariki, and because this study will have relevance particularly to Iwi then what the Iwi scientists have said will take precedence.

Interviews
All the people I approached willingly participated in interviews and conversations on the whence of Iwi. On many occasions I would just enter into a discussion with them and am very thankful for them putting up with my probing investigations and questions. It must be mentioned that many of the recipients had no concerns discussing the word Ariki and as I explained to them I was very circumspect towards the subject, uttering certain karakia to make them feel at ease, as we would discuss the ‘word’ Ariki, so that when having discussions prior to the interview or at any other appropriate time all was well. One criterion insisted on for the interview process which many of the recipients enjoyed was the fact that the people interviewed must have had ancestors who had been resident in Aotearoa for a minimum of 20 generations. This was a defining factor in the study as I was able to I think; obtain a clear overview of the Te Iwi governance structure and system called Ariki-Tanga. In addition, when discussing important issues such as location and ancient historical events of Te Iwi the integrity of the evidence cannot be bought into question. Whereby we could provide a resource that will be of great value to our Ariki in the future, although, at present Te Iwi are experiencing an invading power, the evidence this essay will provide be that historical, Archaeological, and traditional, will point out that Iwi are not the cannibal heathens they were made out to be. Overall, the interviewees gave freely of their time coffee and information, finding that the interview process allowed them to relive by retelling the days of their Kaumatua and the knowledge they passed on to them.

Literature review

There are mountains of literature about, that claim Iwi were not here pre-European and that pakiha may have been here before Iwi (Thor Heyerdahl: 1952) although what has been determined as the definitive path they followed and which these same studies fail to recognise, is that the Iwi scientists have said the exact opposite to that. Accordingly evidence to prove this has been drawn from, Ko Huiarau Records, Legends, Myth, Traditions, waiata, Government records, european first contact commentaries and pre-contact commentaries, also evidence from the sciences of Archæology, Assyrianology, ethnology, philology, and theology as well as korero from nga Kuia me nga Koroua. Of particularly importance as a source for this study is a book written in 1926 by Ettie Rout called Iwi Symbolism. This Wahine had spent a great part of her life researching the health practices of Te Iwi (Tollerton: 1992: 227). In the process eventually compiling the teachings of the Te Arawa Ariki Tohunga, Hohepa Te Rake. The appointed guardian of the Whare Mata-Atua (Rout: 1926: 19; see Page 3 of this document) utilizing what was taught to him in the Whare Wananga of Te Arawa. Another book called Pre-Tasman Explorers that was written by Ross Wiseman in 1998 is also a particularly interesting work worth more than the cursory look I will be giving it. This evidence will be compared with the recorded works of the present day Taiopuru of the 'Ko Huiarau, ‘Tainui Waikato Tairea IV’ 2000, who ascended the throne as the Taiopuru of the Ko Huiarau in 1949. Waikato Tairea had spent his earlier days from the age of three (Simmons: 1989. p.3) in the Whare Wananga, 'Mokokaiwhiti', and Whanganui. At the age of fifteen, he was anointed as Supreme Tai-O-Puru. This information was relayed to the Iwi scholar David Simmons in1986 and 1989. Consequently, making up the material he utilized in the bulk of his books, two in particular 'Ta Moko' (1986) and 'Te Riria' (1989) which I will be referring to from time to time. It is in the book Te Riria, which is laid out many of the intricate details concerning the different ranks that are associated with the Ariki-Tanga. Which was not only a system of communication known, to the Ariki, the Ariki-Tanga, the Council of elders, Iwi Scientists and the Taiopuru, but it was also an ideology that was unknown to most of the Te Iwi living descendents. Simmons’ book is a truly remarkable example of how to decipher the Epigraphical Calligraphy of Te Iwi a form of mnemonic’s Ariki have used for centuries. This will abrogate what Anthropologists Archeologists and ethnologists have insisted on for centuries, which is that Te Iwi originated only from South East Asia. Being there possibly 800 years ago eventually or accidentally bumping into Aotearoa with the last wave of migrants accidentally arriving in 1350 (Buck: 1926: 17). This study which is based on the Literature herein listed will research the many intricacies that has gone into what Te Iwi are like and where they may have been in Pre-Ancient, Ancient, Traditional and Contemporary times. Which will show that Iwi spread or and migrated purposefully, to the four corners of the planet, not only from the East as stated by pakeha scientists, but from the West as well.

Figure 3 Note the non-existence of the Nga Kai Pikirau, indicating an Ariki who is elected to a position of responsibility, but only for his lifetime, a non-hereditary role[4].
Therefore, for this essay to cover the issues that make up what constitutes Arikitanga, 'Te Iwi', will represent those who were resident in Aotearoa pre 1800, and who were adherents to Io Matua Kore. Which covers a vast space of time and will from here be referred to as, "Te Iwi", Or, "Nga Iwi", the Word M----I, is now banned from use in this essay.

Spiritual Healing (A Study in Self)

Can anyone receive a healing energy, can this be trained? What is the source for spiritual healing, a universal force or spirit? Is the power of the mind related to spiritual healing in some way?

A Natural Form of Wellness using our own inner gifts:

Throughout the world, if one explores each religion or spiritual philosophy, we will find evidence of special or gifted individuals who can perform what appear to be miraculous cures of people with all kind of health challenges, including life threatening illnesses.
How is this possible? People who have been documented to have such abilities, in some cases have been tested by scientists using a variety of devices. And it has been shown through these tests that somehow the energy contained within the healers body is elevated to a great degree at precisely the time they begin to focus on giving a healing energy. Also there are some special parts of the world where the force of the earth is very powerful and we find individuals who are able to perform surgery without the aid of any medical tools whatsoever.
We speak specifically about the Philippine healers and their counterparts within the country of Brasil. The World Mystery Research Center, especially our British branch, is very aware of this form of healing since there are a vast amount of people in England who accept and seek out these forms of cures. We have met medical professionals who are on the cutting edge of combining traditional medicine with alternative therapies and thus have a great interest to pure our researchers into this intriguing mystery! We therefore will conduct various projects to explore and document these unexplained activities using all types of sensitized devices that are at our disposal.
Also we will combine spiritual healing in our research with some of our other fields including the crystal skulls, the effect of the energy of crop circles, and the effect of contact with ETs or their craft. We will even seek answers within the mysterious bible code. If you would like to participate in our research projects in the future, please feel free to contact us. We also are very open to form alliances with other organizations who are pursuing similar goals.

Knowledge of the Indigenous Elders
(Including their prophecies)
Is the Sacred Knowledge of the Indigenous Tribes Important? Why are many of their prophecies so similar ? Why are many people all over the world fascinated by these teachings?
Its it time to Listen to the Elders?
The Hopi Prophecy is shown on a sacred stone on Hopi land in Arizona. It uses symbols to represent two paths humanity can follow in our future -- A path of utter destruction or a path of peace.
When the Dali Lama visited the Hopis recently, he discovered that the Tibetan Buddhist share many of the same prophecies for our future.
In the book, The Mystery of the Crystal Skulls, authors Morton and Thomas had a chance to speak with many of the Mayan Elders and they were told that the skulls were given by People of the Stars to many indigenous cultures. These skulls contain special knowledge to help our world live in an age of peace which these tribes protect. The Mayans believe as part of their prophecy, that in of our future, 13 sacred skulls will come together before their calendar ends on December 21st, 2012.
Throughout the world, it is believed that the indigenous people were entrusted to keep the sacred knowledge, waiting for the right time to begin to share it with all the people on our planet. This knowledge is generally not written but survives through passing it down orally. It does not matter if you consult with various tribes of the Native Americans, the Andes people, the Aborigine or the Maori, etc ... the time to share is now. They say the survival of our planet depends upon this.
It is the goal of our center, to act as a bridge to these indigenous people. To assist in sharing their special knowledge as well as researching various prophecies given by these cultures for similarity. We will also work in tandem with some of the other fields of study we shall conduct including the crystal skulls (mentioned above), the bible code and the UFO phenomena.
If you would like more information, please feel free to contact us or fill out our on-line form. If you have contacts with certain tribes or elders that seek help to share their information, please let us know.
It is now time for all the sacred knowledge to come out and to be given to the people of the Earth. We each have our role to play.

Politics: MARINES' RELOCATION ANGERS THE INDIGENOUSThey say it could mean the death of their raceElenoa BaselalaIn a desperate attempt to save their race, identity and culture, theindigenous people of Guam—the Chamorus—are strongly opposing therelocation of US Marines from Okinawa, Japan, to their country..Fronting the opposition is the Guahan Coalition for Peace and Justice,which is trying to bring the world's attention to their plight.Already, the organisation has made presentations to the UnitedNations. Currently, it is seeking signatures for a petition againstthe relocation, expected to be completed by 2012.Recently, American President George Bush announced his budget proposalwhich includes a US$345 million plan to carry out militaryconstruction projects on Guam during 2008. The proposed militaryconstruction budget includes seven projects—Naval Base Guam:Kilo Wharf Extension: $102 millionHardening of Naval Base Electrical Systems: $59 millionNavy Family Housing: $57 millionNavy Fitness Center: $45 millionWastewater Treatment Plant Repairs and Upgrade: $41 millionPotable Water Distribution System (Phase I): $31 million.Andersen Air Force Base:Northwest Field Infrastructure Upgrade: $10 million.THE PRICE: The relocation of the Marines is expected to cost aroundUS$10 billion with Japan footing US$6 billion.While the news of the relocation is good news to Guam's businesscommunity, for the Chamorus, the billions of dollars may just be theprice of death of their race, culture and identity.The population of Guam is estimated at around 154,805, with 37 percent(about 63,270) being the indigenous population.Lisalinda Nativdad, of the Guahan Coalition for Peace and Justice,says the relocation of Marines is expected push Guam's population upby 55,000."The local population has increased considerably since then becausethe military population has been increasing on bases."The current population of Marines is unknown. While their physicalpresence on the island is seen, the actual relocation from Okinawa hasnot occurred."Initially it was quoted at 7000. Then 8000. Now possibly 16,000. Whendependents and ancillary support personnel are also factored in, therelocation may increase the population by up to 55,000. This is anapproximately 36 percent population increase," Nativdad says.Nativdad and her organisation are fiercely opposing the relocation.In October last year, a group of Chamorus, which included Nativdad'sassociation, testified at the United Nations that the relocation planscould bring about the irreversible decline of the indigenous cultureand further undermine their political rights.According to the petition for Justice and Peace for Guam and thePacific blogspot, the strength of their testimonies prompted the UNunder-secretary general for political affairs, Ibrahim Gambari, tolater meet with the coalition members.While Gambari believed Guam had a right to self-determination, he didnot believe a resolution would be passed because the United Stateswould veto it. But there was a recommendation for a UN representativeto visit Guam and report on the situation to take the country off"that status of being an invisible colony".The relocation of the Marines is part of the changes America and Japanare making to their alliances, which include the realignment of USbases in Japan.It is also to return "very valuable land on Okinawa to the Japanese"and ease the burden on Japanese people who are paying for thestationing of US forces in Okinawa.Guam is also close enough for the defence of Japan, should the need arise.PROBLEMS: For the Chamorus, the move will only create a host ofsocial, economic, health and environmental problems."These range from noise pollution that has been found to affect thebirth weight of babies in other highly militarised areas, an increasein traffic, an overtaxing of our already strained infrastructure (suchas utility systems) and an increase in the rental market, therebycrowding out the local population from land and home ownership intheir own homeland."There is also the threat to the opportunity for the Chamoru toexercise self-determination rights as defined by the United Nations."As a first strike zone location in military tactics, the safety ofthe island from military attack is compromised as in the case of WorldWar II, in which the island was invaded by the Japanese before beingreoccupied by the United States," says Nativdad.She claims the American government has continued to disregard theirconcerns for the environmental contamination left by the military.Examples of this include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) found inGuam's harbours, Agents Orange and Purple found in illegal dumpingsites by the military throughout the island, the island's continuedstruggle with radiation exposure as a result of ships being sunk inGuam's harbours in the 1970s as well as down winds bringing radiationto Guam as a result of US nuclear testing in Micronesia in the 1950s.Manufactures of PCBs, Agent Orange and Agent Purple have long beenbanned by America because of their harmful effects on human health."These environmental concerns have resulted in extremely high rates ofcancer and other diseases among the Chamoru population as indicated inthe 5.2 percent of the island's population being elderly compared withthe US national average of about 12 percent."The US military presence on Guam has resulted in poor health outcomesfor the Chamoru people."The local government is primarily motivated by the promise of therelocation of the Marines being an economic panacea, therebyrevitalising the local economy."However, true economists know that militarisation does not lead toeconomic stability. Rather, it reinforces the economic dependency ofthe host jurisdiction (in this case Guam) on the administering power(in this case the United States)."The only panacea to Guam's economic woes is the development ofalternative industries to militarisation and tourism," Nativdad says.According to the Chamorus, there has also been no study done on thesocial and economic impacts of the military presence in Guam. TheAmerican occupation of Okinawa has not been a good record either.In 1995, three marines were charged with the rape of a 12-year-oldschoolgirl and in 2000 another marine was charged with molesting a14-year-old high school student.One of the Chamoru activists, Julian Aguon, in his testimony to the UNsaid Guam could also suffer the same fate.In an interview with ABC News in 2003, soon after the news of therelocation was known, Hideo Asato from the Okinawa Peace MovementCentre said Okinawa had been suffering from American military presencefor decades."The report suggests the Marines will move to Australia but theyshould move back to America, otherwise Australia will suffer like us,"he told ABC news.According to the Marianas Variety, over the next 10 years Guam willsee an increase of Air Force personnel to about 4500 and navypersonnel from 4000 to 8000. This is apart from the 17,000 marines andtheir dependents who will would be relocated to Guam.At the Andersen Air Force base, military installation was preparingfor 3100 more active duty personnel and their dependants to bedeployed in the next few years—in addition to the 8500 officers andtheir dependants already at the base.CAMPAIGN: Nativdad says they will campaign for as long as it takes tohave their concerns heard.Their fight is particularly difficult because though they are UScitizens, they are citizens without the right to vote, therebyweakening their ability to determine local policies that are set bythe federal government.Guam's congressional representative does not have a vote and can onlylobby—Guam is an unincorporated US territory with limitedconstitutional rights."We are currently working very closely with alliances in the AsiaPacific region," Nativdad says."In addition, we have launched a stick campaign stating "8000? Howwill it change our lives" to help stir the debate amongst ourpopulation. There are also efforts to bring Okinawan activists toshare the truth of their experiences in hosting the marines over thesepast years."Most importantly, we are challenging people to ponder the criticalquestion: "If the presence of the Marines is such a good thing forGuam, then why is Japan willing to pay US$6 billion to get them out?

Australian Prime Minister John Howard has revealed the realmotivations behind his government's interventions in the South Pacificand foreshadowed permanent military operations there. Speaking to theSunday Telegraph on December 31, Howard acknowledged his concern thathostile rival powers, such as China and Taiwan, could "take over" theregion. The prime minister also pointed to Washington's expectationthat Australia would take responsibility for maintaining "stability"in an area US imperialism regards as its own sphere of influence.Howard's comments are intended to signal that his government will notback down in the face of mounting hostility to its activities in theregion, and will be prepared to utilise military force to suppressopposition. The Telegraph interview confirms that Australia's recentinterventions in East Timor, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea(PNG), Tonga, and Fiji are only the beginning of its long-term plans.Howard's Pacific agenda is marked by recklessness, arrogance andcomplete disregard for international law. The government—and behind itthe entire Australian political establishment— aims to politically andeconomically restructure the South Pacific in line with the strategicand economic interests of Australian imperialism. National sovereigntyand the basic right of ordinary Pacific Islanders to determine theirown future are regarded by Howard and his accomplices as totallyirrelevant.The emergence of Australian neo-colonialism in the Pacific occurs amidthe eruption of US militarism and the re-surfacing of bitterinter-imperialist antagonisms, comparable to those that dominatedworld politics in the 1930s. Under the banner of the "global war onterror", the Bush administration has torn up international law andconventions, embarking on pre-emptive wars of aggression in an attemptto overcome America's declining economic status relative to itsEuropean and Asian rivals. Bush's recently announced escalation of theIraq war, and its likely extension to Iran and Syria, underscores thespeed with which the American ruling elite is resorting to outrightcriminality and truly barbaric methods of rule.No part of the globe—including the South Pacific—is immune from theconsequences of the breakdown of the international order establishedafter World War II. Howard pointedly warned the Australian people toget used to permanent military deployment throughout the region. "Thisis a long, hard road, and it will need great patience andunderstanding by the Australian public to live with, probably for aperiod of 10 to 20 years, with a two-steps-forward, one-step-backwardsituation," he told the Telegraph."I can understand Australians saying, `Well, look, let's forget aboutit. Leave them to their own devices; don't waste any money', butthat's the wrong approach to take, because they will fall into thehands of the evil from other countries and we have to work very hard,"he continued. "Certainly there's a bit of a battle between China andTaiwan... If we just throw up our arms and go away, you'll end up withthese places being taken over by interests that are very hostile toAustralia."Notably, the prime minister made little effort to repeat hisgovernment's usual justifications for Australia's neo-colonialinterventions: rescuing "failed states", preventing terrorism,providing humanitarian aid, combating corruption, promoting democracyand the rule of law, etc. That he set these aside, pointing instead tothe "evil" from Australia's rivals, indicates his alarm at the growingopposition to Canberra's manoeuvres among ordinary Pacific Islandersand the move by sections of the political elites in East Timor, PapuaNew Guinea, Solomon Islands and Fiji towards other powers, especiallyChina, as a counterbalance to Australian demands and dominance.China's growing influenceThe South Pacific has long been an arena for great power rivalriesbetween the old colonial powers, France, Britain, and Australia, aswell as Asian countries including Japan, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Therising economic and diplomatic influence of China, however, is a newand profoundly destabilising factor that is challenginglong-established relations. While Howard describes the South Pacificas Australia's "special patch", Beijing now has substantial economicinterests in the region, and is seeking to develop its geo-strategicposition.The Chinese and Taiwanese governments are competing to securediplomatic recognition from the various Pacific states. Of the 24countries in the world that recognise Taipei over Beijing, six are inthe Pacific (Palau, the Marshall Islands, Tuvalu, Nauru, SolomonIslands, and Kiribati). Governments in the region have played off thetwo powers against each other, granting diplomatic recognition andsupport in the UN General Assembly to the highest bidder in terms ofaid and trade agreements. Both China and Taiwan have been accused ofbribing favoured politicians and factions to ensure the installationof friendly governments.China's interest in the South Pacific, however, goes far beyond thequestion of Taiwan and the "one China" policy. An estimated 3,000state-owned and private Chinese companies operate in the region,including in mining, logging, fishing, and tourism. Economic ties arerapidly developing. Bilateral trade between China and Papua NewGuinea, the South Pacific's largest economy (and until 1975Australia's colony), has increased from $A5 million in 1991, to $A233million in 2000, to $A540 million in 2005.The region's natural resources now help fuel China's ongoingindustrial expansion. Papua New Guinea, for example, was China'ssecond largest source of logs in 2005, behind Russia, and 80 percentof PNG's log exports go to China. One of China's largest overseasinvestment projects, the Ramu nickel mine, is located in PNG. Openedlate last year, the mine was developed by China's MetallurgicalConstruction Corp after Beijing reached a $US915 million financingagreement with the PNG government. The investment was directly drivenby a shortage of raw materials for China's stainless steel industry.The Beijing bureaucracy is investing considerable resources in itsdiplomatic relations with the South Pacific countries. China now hasmore diplomats in the region than any other country, and Pacificleaders visiting Beijing are granted lavish receptions. While thereare no official figures available, Chinese aid to the South Pacific isestimated at more than $A300 million annually—a sum nearly twice thetotal gross domestic product of the three poorest nations in theregion (Kiribati, Nauru, and Tuvalu). Much of Beijing's aid is devotedto prominent "prestige projects"—sports stadiums in Fiji and Samoa, aparliamentary complex in Vanuatu, and new foreign ministryheadquarters in PNG—and unlike Australian aid money, Chinese fundingdoes not require Pacific governments to fulfil "good governance" andother obligations.Several American and Australian foreign policy analysts have warned ofthe long-term strategic implications of China's growing influence. InWorld War II, the US was forced to wage a series of bloody battlesagainst the Japanese to secure control of the Pacific Islands. Afterthe war, US authorities considered the entire Pacific Ocean to be an"American lake". In partnership with allies such as Australia,Washington's intent was to maintain exclusive control and prevent anypotential adversaries from gaining a foothold in the strategicallysignificant region.Stratfor, an American security and intelligence think tank, has warnedthat, "China's need to counter American power—combined with Beijing'slimited naval capability—makes a Pacific Island strategy as natural tothem as it was to the Japanese decades ago." Stratfor raised theprospect of Beijing attempting to counter US naval dominance bystationing missiles in South Pacific countries. "While Beijing isunlikely to deploy forces to the South Pacific soon, its relationshipswith the island nations offer it a strategic tool to counter US navalpower in Asia. The Chinese military has paid great attention to thedevelopment of shore-based anti-ship missile systems it eventuallycould deploy throughout the South Pacific and Southeast Asia."The US has already made clear its unwillingness to allow any erosionof its military position in the Pacific. Washington paid considerableattention to a satellite tracking station constructed by the Chinesegovernment in Kiribati in 1997. While Beijing insisted the station wasonly used for scientific and commercial purposes, the Bushadministration alleged that it was being used to develop a Chinesespace warfare program and also spy on the US military's missiletesting facility in the neighbouring Marshall Islands. This facilityis vital for the development of the Bush administration' s StrategicDefence Initiative ("Son of Star Wars") missile defence system. TheChinese tracking station was shut down in 2004 after Kiribati'sgovernment recognised Taipei. Although never proven, Washington waswidely believed to have been involved in behind-the-scenes manoeuvresencouraging the diplomatic switch.Canberra as Washington's proxyCanberra fears Beijing's growing influence in the South Pacific for anumber of reasons. China's increasing commercial ties—particularly itsaggressive pursuit of oil, gas, minerals, timber, and fishinginvestments—threaten s corporate Australia's dominant position in theexploitation of the region's natural resources. Canberra's foreignpolicy establishment is also hostile to Beijing and Taipei's aid andtrade rivalry, which it considers a threat to its efforts to cultivatecompliant pro-Australian regimes in the Pacific states.Canberra's alliance with Washington is a critical factor shaping theHoward government's response to Beijing's entry into the SouthPacific. Bush has previously designated China as a "strategiccompetitor" and looks to Canberra to defend US interests in the region.In the Sunday Telegraph interview, Howard explained, "That's why we'vebeen increasing the size of our army. It's all designed to give us thecapacity to deal with things in the region. And this is ourresponsibility. The rest of the world looks to us to do it, and themore we are able to play our part effectively here, the less islegitimately expected of us in other parts of the world. That's not tosay we won't do other things, but if we can have an effectivestabilising role in the whole Pacific region, I can assure you that ismightily important to the Americans and to our allies in Europe."The Howard government has unconditionally backed the Bushadministration' s criminal interventions in the Middle East,dispatching troops to both Afghanistan and Iraq. In return, Washingtonhas provided critical backing for Canberra's operations in thePacific. Underlying this quid pro quo is a convergence of interests,with the Howard government advancing its agenda in the region underthe aegis of US imperialism' s claim to global hegemony. This is theessence of Howard's self-proclaimed role of "deputy sheriff".The Bush administration' s so-called war on terror and its doctrine of"regime change" and pre-emptive war were the basis for the Howardgovernment's takeover of the Solomon Islands in 2003, when itdispatched hundreds of soldiers, police, and bureaucratic personnel tothe tiny country. The Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands(RAMSI) was subsequently hailed as a model military-led interventioninto a "failing state" that could be applied throughout the region.When announcing the expansion of the Australian military last year,Howard named Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and Vanuatu as further potentialtargets.The Bush administration has repeatedly expressed its appreciation ofCanberra's role. US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was asked lastmonth whether she was disappointed that Australian troops were notplaying a more front-line role in Iraq. "I would never use the worddisappointment in the same line with Australia," she replied. "This isa country that, not only in Iraq, not only in Afghanistan, not only intsunami relief, not only in support for all that we're doing in theAsia Pacific, but also in taking really primary responsibility inplaces like the Solomon Islands, Fiji, East Timor, has put itsresources and its assets at the disposal of peace and security in theregion, and in the spread of freedom. And I just can't think of abetter friend and a better ally."Nevertheless, Canberra and Washington do not share identical positionsin relation to Beijing. The Howard government has generally adopted aless belligerent stance than the Bush administration. This is due tothe Australian ruling elite's interest in maintaining its lucrativeexports of natural resources such as gas, gold, iron ore, coal, andaluminium to China. These exports have been crucial for Australia'seconomic growth—and Howard's electoral successes—over the past decade.Canberra is currently seeking to negotiate a free trade deal with Beijing.Despite these differences, the Howard government and the Bushadministration agree that no potentially hostile power can bepermitted to advance its strategic and economic interests in the SouthPacific at their expense. That Howard abandoned his usual caution inthe Telegraph interview and identified China as a rival indicates justhow much is at stake.The struggle against neo-colonialismThe Howard government's vision of neo-colonial military-ledinterventions in the Pacific lasting 10 to 20 years presents enormousdangers to working people and youth in the Pacific Islands and inAustralia.It will inevitably produce a catastrophe. The population of thePacific Islands have suffered a long history of British, French,German, and Australian colonial domination. It is impossible that suchforms of rule can be peacefully imposed in the twenty-first century.Pacific Islanders have every right to resist Canberra's machinationsand it is only a matter of time before Australian soldiers and policeare targeted. The initial stages of such a struggle are alreadyevident in East Timor and the Solomon Islands. Canberra will respondby escalating its violence and repression, unleashing military forceon a scale not seen in the Pacific since World War II.The domestic repercussions will be no less calamitous. Democraticrights are already under sustained attack, and this will intensify asopposition to Howard's agenda mounts. Bourgeois democratic norms andbasic legal and constitutional rights are fundamentally incompatiblewith a state of permanent military mobilisation. In its efforts toforge a constituency for war and divert mounting social tensions, thepolitical and media establishment is pumping out the poison ofnational chauvinism—involving the incitement of anti-Muslim racism andpromotion of "Australian values"—and glorifying militarism.Young people face a future of being dragooned into the armed forces ascannon fodder for military interventions. School children are alreadybeing encouraged to enlist in the cadets and then the army. The Howardgovernment has introduced a military "gap year" for those who havefinished school but do not wish to immediately begin their tertiaryeducation. Last year Howard announced that an additional $10 billionwill be spent to recruit another 2,600 troops, on top of a 1,500increase announced in December 2005, bringing the total increase to 20percent. Half a billion dollars has also been committed for the neardoubling of the Australian Federal Police's "international deploymentgroup"—an outfit focussed on operations in the South Pacific.Inevitably, these initiatives will soon be accompanied by moves tointroduce conscription.The billions of dollars in public funds being poured into the militaryrepresent a massive social misappropriation. While funding for publichealth and education, social infrastructure, and welfare and socialservices have all been gutted by successive state and federalgovernments, "defence" spending has skyrocketed. Australia is now theeleventh largest military spender in the world and ranks ahead ofcountries such as Israel, Turkey, Brazil, and Iran.The political starting point for a struggle against the turn tomilitarism and war is the recognition that not a single element withinthe Australian political and media establishment opposes any aspect ofthe Howard government's neo-colonial operations in the South Pacific.To the extent that the opposition Labor Party and its new leader KevinRudd have any criticisms of the government, they are all from theright. Rudd accuses Howard of incompetence for allowing an "arc ofinstability" to develop, and advocates greater tact in diplomaticefforts aimed at browbeating Australia's neighbours. Like the Greens,Labor calls for the redeployment of Australian troops from Iraq to theSouth Pacific in order to bolster operations in East Timor, theSolomons, and elsewhere.The unanimous defence by Labor and the minor parties of Australia'sPacific interventions ultimately derives from their support for theprofit system and the nation-state system upon which it rests.Opposition to war, militarism, and neo-colonialism can only beadvanced on an independent socialist and internationalist basis.The Socialist Equality Party (SEP) will be standing candidates in theNew South Wales state election scheduled for March 24 and the federalelection due later this year. Our campaign will be focussed onbuilding a mass movement of the working class against militarism andwar—in Iraq, the Middle East and in the South Pacific. We demand theimmediate withdrawal of all US, Australian and other troops from Iraqand Afghanistan, and all Australian soldiers, police, and bureaucraticpersonnel from the Pacific. We demand an end to all those regional"aid" programs that function as nothing more than international slushfunds for Australian corporations.Instead, billions of dollars in genuine aid must be spent to lift thePacific Islands out of poverty and undo the terrible legacy ofcolonialism and the damage still being inflicted by InternationalMonetary Fund and World Bank programs.
