Some items on current affairs in a changing world, of New Zealand early Colonial and pre-European history, and some events surrounding the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi. Maybe a different perspective than most traditional understandings.
All items are listed on the DIRECTORY page.
THE 1840 TREATY: We should not try to restore or re-write it, as human nature will end up making the outcome even worse than it has been. It was necessary and suitable for 200 years ago, but that was in another age altogether and no one is living there now. The mere idea of suggesting there should be a treaty in 2025 is in itself racial, encouraging the divide-and-rule nature of Colonialism to continue. People need to wake up, and who is financing all this carry-on?
It was very soon after the 1840 Treaty, that the Wairua or Soul of the Treaty was broken when the main initiators, James Busby, Henry Williams and others were despised and rejected by those who went on to form their own Government in Wellington. In 1847 Henry Williams wrote: 'How furious the natives will become when they realise how severely they have been deceived and cheated!'
The same can be said for today in 2025, as many people will become astounded and bewildered at the enormity of deception we have been living under, and the depths to which the human mind will go to cover it up. However, we have entered a new age, where we now see about us a system that we have become used to, being unveiled and exposed, dissolving into history.
The word 'māori' (pre Colonialism) meant 'ordinary' or 'common', therefore all of the country's ethnicities today are 'māori' anyway! There are not two human species!..Continue this here.
A COUNTRY NAME-CHANGE TO KIWI?: If Britain had ruled commerce at that time of the European Colonialists arriving here, then with little doubt the country would be named New Britain or even New England! Are we Kiwi's from 'Kiwi' if there is a name change?
THE WEST has been recently in the news. The geographical West officially ends at an International Dateline (established in 1884) between the West Coast of the United States, and the East starts in Asia and New Zealand, Wellington being the first major Capital City to start a new day. But the WEST that is being opposed by most Colonised countries refers to the nature of Imperialism, which affects all peoples and countries on the Earth today.
With these Colonialists came something vastly different to the culture and understanding (of that time) to those of the East: China, Japan; native New Zealanders, Americans and other communities. These people had no concept of the manner in which MORTGAGES (death pledges) were used to bind people through DEBT! Money was being used as an an intermediary or proxy instead of face-to-face simplicity. Mortgages had all their vices with them; interest (a charge for something that does not naturally exist), then penalties for non-compliance, charges for this and that, threats of punishment - even death. Laws, tariffs and so on. Welcome to Imperialism!
I couldn't figure it out initially, as Japan was in the physical East and yet in the early 1900's, it was attacking China with large and modern Western style battle ships, causing many millions of deaths and casualties. Chiang Kai-shek in China, financed from United States Banks and other sources, was assumed by the public in the USA to be helping China defeat Japan, and yet he was instead stubbornly resisting defending China, and spent his resources 'eliminating' more Chinese. He caused the deaths of millions, using 'Communists' as a convenient excuse, and receiving financial reward for doing so. Simultaneously, the British were financing their own interests in Japan, having had led Japan into debt during the late 1800's, mainly through their manufacturing and supplying of battleships and other war items.
Mao Tse-Tung (1893-1976), born in China, is often referred to as being the 'enemy' to the West, and even to this day has so many vile words thrown at him that it makes me ask, "What is the great good he must have done to causes him to be abhorred so much?" In briefly studying the earlier half of his life, I see him initially as a librarian with pacifist tendencies at heart, being attacked on all sides (Japan and the West), and being forced into a position of trying to save his people from extinction. What happened later on, when Marxist ideology became involved, did change circumstances. However, on the positive side of Mao, if it was not for him in the early days, very few Chinese today would even exist.
Along with Mortgages and Debt there is another term that must be mentioned, as it is becoming more important in today's world, and I have been made very wary of it, and that is Derivatives', a modern word that means to assume or gamble on the value of future markets. To 'assume' is to venture without understanding - maybe the same as gambling. Our 'futures' market and maybe even our share-market will surely collapse.
Why is this being written? To show that what was happening back there is still happening today, but in a more spiritual sense. All warfare is based around propaganda as a main element. Little thought is given for lives, as the industry is geared around profit, material rewards and power. We are trained into it by media, at schooling, etc., the care of humanity as being the prime motive, but it is merely a lip-service, and while the people are being governed more and more, individual freedom is being stolen. Humanity has had enough of it.
An holistic (wholeistic) approach to history is very beneficial, because whatever we hear or see we don't have to argue with, judge or condemn, knowing that the correct understanding will soon fall into place. Otherwise there becomes just too much too handle and we wouldn't know which way to turn.
Words are powerful, and as understanding develops, perceptions change. What we once may have considered to be a future fearful event, dissolves with understanding. For instance, the word Armageddon that was once feared, I find is not a future event at all, but just refers to the battle we have sorting out the changes in our own mind as we mature. After all, this (mind) is where it is all happening.
There is no need to fear the future - the Earth doesn't end, but the world we live in, ends (dies or changes continually) - a good thing. We grow into a new world daily.
