Only in America or Ruatoki :-)

‘The back up’ on fox news - you have to see it to believe it. Only in America! According to the latest police sources in the Urewera, residents in Ruatoki are picking up on this idea to aid them in their plans for the world domination of Tuhoe.

A Government plot??

The anti-terror raids of October 15 resulted in the seizure of only four weapons and 230 rounds of ammunition that have led to charges. The early-morning raids involved more than 300 officers. The police have not said what they seized in the property searches in Auckland, Waikato, the Bay of Plenty, Wellington and Christchurch using warrants alleging crimes under the Terrorism Suppression Act and have declined a request to do so. But of 16 people charged with firearms offences, items seized on October 15 are the basis of charges against only two - Tame Iti, and a man who has name suppression. The charges Iti faces include illegal possession on that date of three rifles - a Ruger, a Siga and a Machtech - while the other man is charged in regard to a Ruger rifle and 100 rounds of .22 calibre bullets and 130 rounds of .303 calibre ammunition. The police said it was inappropriate to comment about matters before the court.

If this is really happening as the report says it is, what was the point if not to create a diversion for Helen Clarke and to provide another way for the labour party to score points with the public? They sure have jumped in the polls since this happened.

What are you up to Helen Clarke?

As we approach an election and it is obvious that Labour are not as popular as they would like. Could it be that the Government have engineered the terrorism fiasco so that they dumb down the king maker effect of the Maori Party because as we all know, the Maori Party will defend Tuhoe? Is their plan to nullify the Maori Party rather than rely on them to support Labour's policy in government. After the release of the police case files to the Dom Post (which was possibly less than legal) Helen is now jumping on the bandwagon to gain points with the public. Its all fitting together quite nicely for Helen don't you think?

Dom Post lets me down.

I see the Dom Post did not maintain balance this morning by printing the other side of the terrorism story. I was hoping there would be some attempt at telling us the whole story and not just taking one side of the equation. Bugger!

Bugged vehicle, April 4, 2007.

Now what do you think? Should these guys be taken to task?
If this is what you were doing, of course you will be taken to task Tame. I still do not think the Police should've treated the elderly, women and children, and men who were not suspected, in the manner that they did.
It will be interesting to see if the Dom prints the other side of the story - balance and all that.

Bigotry alive and kicking in Aotearoa NZ

I am listening to JT and Willy (John Tamahere and Willy Jackson) on Radio live. They are discussing Tame Iti having his say on national television. His crime (according to some), he spoke for himself, in Maori. I am amazed at how many people found it offensive!
Maori is an official language of Aotearoa NZ. Why wouldn't he use his reo?
I cannot believe the rednecks in this country. In this country, we have the right to speak. We have the right to disagree. We were once allowed to voice our opposition. Now, the government is trying to curtail our right to voice our disagreement. Watch out kiwis, there is a move against your freedom.

They got it wrong.

"I can have conversations over a whole year, and they pick and choose what they want," he said. "If they wanted, they should have come and

knocked on my door. It's state madness." Iti said that blaming inadequate laws for the failure of the terror charges amounted to the state "covering their arses". Collins and the police were interpreting his activities from a different cultural viewpoint. "What they see as disturbing, we see as something completely different.
If I go 'blah'," he said, sticking out his tongue in a whetero, "do you see that as disturbing? When I exposed my buttocks (in protest), the uneducated would see that as disturbing. But in our culture it has a context."
Iti's focus over the next week would be to regroup with his family and visit people in the Tuhoe community to thank them and check on their wellbeing."We've got to be more vigilant of the possibility of another state attack on our backyard," he said.
He said "thousands" had been recruited to the Tuhoe cause by the raids, which involved more than 300 police across the country and which he characterised as "not just an attack on me personally, but on my family and the whole of Tuhoe".
"I mean: who invaded Tuhoe? I had guns to my head, what do you call that?"

I call it idiocy, an idiocy that helps resentment grow in Maoridom.. Sooner or later we must decide who's idiocy we will allow. I for one, am sick of watching Maori take the hits from Pakehadom.
So, the Police got it wrong. Now they should pay the price.

Alleged Terrorist Named

Omar Hamed. You have to wonder don't you. A Palestinian. Born in Greece and raised on the North Shore. He is currently being held in custody. I truly hope he isn't guilty. I really hope he isn't a terrorist. If he is......out you go, back to Palestine. No second chance. We don't want that shit here. If he's innocent, those who accused him must be brought to justice. Equally, no second chances. This is serious stuff. Waiting to see what happens with Tame Iti's court appearance this afternoon. I have the same opinion. Guilty, you lose your right to be here. Innocent, then justice must be delivered to those who have accused.
Updated Friday 26th October check this out, are we still developing our very own Police State? Are they out of control? Do we have 72 year old terrorists to worry about? Or are the Police naff?

Tame Iti and his IRA plan

There seem to be many views on what is actually happening in the Urewera. The police are now talking about an IRA style plan to make war on New Zealand and Tame Iti is at the head of that plan. It will be right to wait and see just what information has been gathered in their investigation over the last 18 months or so. I came across this article this morning.

Tame Iti. Is he a terrorist?

I have been watching and listening to the debate raging round New Zealand. Is Tame Iti a terrorist?

The nation wide raid that netted Tame Iti at this time seems as though it might be somewhat suspect. We are led to believe that a year long investigation into guerilla-style weapons training in the Urewera has led to these arrests. One would expect that the charges to be laid will be related to the suppression of terrorism act. If not, why have these people been raided using the act to justify the raids after a year long investigation?
If it turns out that the raids are justified, I think serious questions will be asked about the motives of these so called guerillas.
I am disturbed about reports of tooled up [armed] police in warfare gear terrorising women and children on a bus in the Bay of Plenty. Who are the terrorists here?
This, from John Minto is interesting.
