The Flag

Today I posted my flag vote. But there are several questions left open regarding the process. In fact there are more questions regarding the motives for a flag referendum at all.

The whole thing seems to have been contrived with a particular outcome in mind, someone in a position of high power wanted the flag changed. And they obviously had the means, power and influence to initiate a process for which there was no national feeling at all.  No groundswell of public opinion, no obvious national imperative motivated the government to act so decisively or expensively to create a national referendum that no one wanted or cared about. So ”who dun it ?”

That any one person or group would go to such lengths to force a change to our national flag tells us something about that flag that we probably haven’t thought about before, that it’s important. It’s really important to our sense of national identity; our sense of history and context in the modern world. It binds us to our forefathers with a feeling of respect and honour for those that came before. It gives us strength to carry on in the certain knowledge of who we are as a people, where we came from and where we are going.

This national feeling that is represented by our flag is an intangible force that lives in all of us. It is a feeling in us that stands as a bulwark against any ideas, concepts or invaders that threaten to undermine and destroy our country or our people. I believe the international forces that are trying so hard to change our flag are well aware of all that I have said just said and the fundamental importance of our sense of identity.      

Now that I have established that this is a deliberate attack on the cultural identity of the New Zealand people let’s take a look at the exact methods being used to undermine our country.

In the literature that comes with our voting paper there is a pamphlet with voting instructions in 24 separate languages, not including English and Maori.

The instructions themselves are ridiculous in the condescendingly stupid tone in which they are given. I am quite sure that the people who designed this pamphlet are fully aware that New Zealanders know how to put a tick in a box. Based on this premise and in the knowledge that accidents never happen could it not then be possible that the real motive behind this document is to send the message to legitimate New Zealanders that these other 24 language groups must also now be considered by us as legitimate New Zealand citizens with full voting rights; even though there command of our language is so poor that they cannot be expected to understand the infantile instructions presented in English, even when presented in pictogram form on the voting paper itself?

Another hint of the act of deliberate subjugation of our people is the almost open invitation to vote fraud. This was the first thing that occurred to me when following the detailed instructions on how to tick the box, tear off the voting paper, put it in the envelope and post it in a New Zealand post box – are you serious? We actually need to be told to post it in  an NZ Post mail box?!!

The invitation to fraud consists in the fact that no proof of identity is required,  no name or address, no IRD number or driver’s license number  or any other way of linking the vote back to any other verifiable proof of citizenship. A tick in a box next to the flag of your choice on a printed piece of paper with no other identification is all that is required. Add to this sad reality the fact that the people who want the change are your average aggressive left wing liberals. People who will scream and shout and hurl all manner of abuses in support of their pet projects, demanding equal rights for all. But that of course is not what they mean. These self-same people would think nothing of printing off hundreds of these phony voting slips and mailing them in support of the destruction of our cultural heritage.

This flag debate is just one small step in a campaign with international scope and horrific ambition. The European countries of the world are experiencing a genocidal onslaught of Cultural Marxism. That’s just a fancy sounding phrase to cover all the so called left wing liberal ideologies that have plagued our countries for 40 years now.  For many of our people and some of our countries it is already too late vis – Sweden, South Africa.  White European civilisation that has brought so much to the world must wake up and take genuine meaningful action if any of us are to survive as a racial people at all.

Vote to preserve our identity, our people and our flag. 

The Amalgamation of Hawke's Bay Councils

This whole thing is predicated on the fallacious proposition that centralized government is somehow more efficient and a better form of government than de-centralized local government.

It should be self-evident to anyone with a high school education that centralized control of large numbers of people doesn’t work.

Yet here we have another example of the modern trend towards exactly the type of concentrated power structures that 50 years ago were regarded as the greatest evil on the planet.

I know people will say that I am over stretching the analogy but I maintain that the point is still valid.

We are always given the same tired old justifications “more efficient”, “less duplication”, ”stop the nonsense ”. Always the same appeal to common sense. But is it really nonsense to demand autonomy, self-determination and no taxation without representation? What exactly is it that is wrong with being able to pop down to your local council to complain about the broken and uneven footpath outside your house that your kids are constantly tripping over?

With your local council you might expect to see the guys out there (local guys that you probably know) with their picks and shovels and a concrete mixer etc, within a few days. And if not you can go down there and rattle the councils cage yet again! Now imagine how far down the list of priorities old Mrs Nikabaters broken footpath will be if your dealing with a council that has the whole of Hawke’s Bay to contend with.

There will of course be numerous far more complicated  examples of big government inefficiencies, but my point is simple. There is no basis at all for the suggestion that big centralized government is in any way more efficient or less expensive than a local body dealing with local issues.

If I want to be charitable to the special interest groups behind this, I would say that there are unintended consequences to this move towards centralization of power. On the other hand, perhaps this is what they had in mind all along. I am referring to the general leveling effect of socialism.

Bringing everyone down to the same lowest common denominator.  In essence it is theft. 

To arbitrarily steal in the name of the state, from those who have in order to spend on those who do not have. Does that sound OK? After the transaction we now have a whole bunch of people in possession of things that previously belonged to other people.

The other effect of this soft socialism is the steady disenfranchisement of the electorate. In as far as the representatives sent by the people to do battle for them find that they can not, amidst the cumbersome mechanisms of government achieve a positive outcome for the people who sent them there.

The persistence of this state of affairs leaves people feeling not only disenfranchised but disenchanted as well. Even people who were initially beneficiaries of the largess of state theft find that they too have been disconnected from the source of power. As morbid resignation and discontent spreads through society like a virus it seems as if the end result cannot be far away.

At this point state psychology comes into play. The state can either admit the fault and reverse direction, or, employ the ever increasing assets of force and coercion to maintain the illusion of a properly functioning community.

State power being what it is, they always employ the latter, never the former.     

But I digress…I will close by coming back to the specific issues at hand.  I have seen numerous signs around Hastings and Napier advocating a vote in favour of amalgamation (the very word signifies something anathema to liberty!), yet hardly a whisper in favour of the status quo. A few small A4 printouts stapled to fence posts here and there. It’s easy to see the financial backing and organisation is in firmly in the “yes” camp.

How symptomatic of our culture, so complacent  and comfortable, never for a moment considering the possibility that the societal structures and systems we so take for granted could be lost to history simply on the basis of our casual disinterest.   

We need to take a good long look at the councils we have, warts and all. And before consigning them to history make damn sure that the value and representation they provide will not also be lost down the memory hole.
