Sep 29/98: Message from Aotearoa Liberation Movement MESSAGE FROM THE AOTEAROA LIBERATION MOVEMENT as posted to tino-rangatiratanga by Karaka Tuesday, September 29, 1998 A message to all the people! AOTEAROA LIBERATION MOVEMENT ----- HE TANGATYA HE TANGATA HE TANGATA ---- supporting operation Maori nation He mihi tenei kia koutou Te iwi whanui, Nga hau e wha, E nga mana, e nga reo Tena Koutou, Tena Koutou, Tena Koutou Katoa. Are you sick of living like a refugee in your own land, - land given to us by Io Matua Kore, by our Tupuna? How do you feel about your Tangata Whenua status being down-graded to "ethnic minority", in your own land? Does it worry you that our next generation, our tamariki, mokopuna will be the next dole generation - the majority of them will also be renting from tauiwi because they're still landless? That they too have a week by week existence, no economic base, a survival and dependence on a meager Government hand-out, that they too struggle as we do now, in a system that was not designed to work for Maori, a system in which we fail miserably - academically, socially, physically and spiritually? The system we live under was designed soley by and for tauiwi, and ruthlessly kept in place - controlled by a bunch of power-mongering mongrels (some brown-faced ones too!). This greedy lot intend to keep things as they are - them at the top, holding the power and control in AOTEAROA - getting richer by selling large chunks of whenua, assets and resources to overseas investors and us at the bottom with nothing. Believe it - by the year 2002, the treaty will not exist, it will be history! Sure the Crown pay us lip-service in honouring it's part in the 1840 deal, about resolving Maori grievances "fairly" - they rub shoulders, hands, pens, papers, arses and noses with pet house-niggers and brown-bum empire aspirers and continue to bullshit real Maori that everything's going to be kapai! - Crap! These deals and promises are just petty tokenism, cake crumbs and soothing utterances to shut our voices of dissent and despair - blanketing their real motives - a place for them in a global plan for a single power/control world government drawn up by the filthy rich from around the globe. On the surface it may look like the Crown in going hard out to settle all Maori moans and groans over land etc, but hey, have a real good look. KIA TUPATO, KIA HIWA RA! Firstly, it suits the Crown and the rich multinationals to settle as many raruraru with indigenous peoples as soon as possible. (they're even dressing things up to make them look like "fair and square" deals) In our case, if they can put in in a "a fair deal" mode, make us feel happy about what is returned, the sooner they can do away with British Monarch and become a republic - extinguishing the Treaty of Waitangi - remember, the treaty was signed by Maori and the Monarch of England, with one partner gone, the agreement no longer exists. So out the door with the Treaty and our remaining treaty rights - no more tangata whenua status, Maori become just another minority ethnic group in Aotearoa. Once this is achieved, the door's wide open to overseas investors to buy up whatever they want, whenua, assets reources - you name it. (did you really believe the government had dumped the M.A.I agreement?) Secondly, to ensure the seccess of their plan to own and control all of AOTEAROA and it's people, the "fair and just" settlements are appropriately made with appropriately "recognised Maori Leaders" - the bought and paid-for kupapa, put in place by the Crown and it's agents for moments like this. With settlement monies, land intersts etc, in the hands of these lap-dogs, their masters only have to deal with and through these head-nodders to wrench remaining Maori interests from the hands of Maori, they won't have to korero with you and I, - just these arseholes they installed and pampered - We won't be able to pull out good ol' Article 2 anymore - the treaty doesn't exist anymore - remember! Neat trick eh? Cute bastards aren't they? How Can We/You Prevent This Happening Remember the New Zealand Wars, Parihaka, Maungapohatu, the 1975 Land March, Bastion Pt, Raglan, He Taua, Waitangi Protest, Pakaitore, The Fiscal Envelope? Since our tupunas time, Maori have resisted moves by TAUIWI to gain total control of AOTEAROA - armed struggle, passive resistance, civil disobedience, peaceful protest, land occupation, rejection - these methods are no strangers to Maori, and we've succeeded! Once again our inherent rights through Mana Atua, Mana Whenua, Mana Tupuna are being threatened, along with 0ur country. MARANGA MAI, MARANGA MAI!!
