With the approaching coronation of King Charles, the question of remaining in the Commonwealth inevitably bubbles to the surface. The screen shot above shows that Polls have been running in Canada to this very question.
It has always been the ambition of Cold War Communism to overthrow ‘British imperialism’ and set up their own quazi-‘Imperialism’ of Global Socialism, and they have set about achieving these objectives via ‘a long march’ infiltrating all tiers of Social institutions esp Education, and also by the strategy of ‘Divide and Conquer’… agitation for rebellion amongst ‘Indigenous populations’…. creating Social unrest, and Racial strife all designed to Weaken and Destroy British based democracies like New Zealand.
It has always been a Marxist wet dream to see the Commonwealth fragment.
This being so, whenever the question of New Zealand leaving the Commonwealth has come up, it has always been a thorny issue for me as a Libertarian.
I do believe it is the natural order of progression for a Nation to become fully independent… a Republic, yet the question must be asked… What sort of Republic would be established?
If the answer is to be an Apartheid Socialist Republic (which is what the Leftist radicals want) then as far as I’ve been concerned New Zealand fares much better to remain under the Civilised wing of Great Britain, and her Rule of Law, and The system of Equal Rights! And also maintaining our Commonwealth fraternity of shared enlightenment values.
This is what Queen Elizabeth represented. She was an anchor that slowed down the disintegration of values and as such there was great merit in remaining in her Commonwealth.
She lived long, and people were free under her rule, to the degree that she did not impose her personal beliefs via the Law as was normal in previous ages. She governed as an exemplar of Character and personal virtue.
She has gone now, and King Charles is about to be Coronated with Diadem, holding the Orb, and Scepter… mystical relics that imbues Sovereignty and Awe!
Or at least that is how it’s all supposed to work!
Charles has had plenty of time to contemplate his succession, and he more than anyone appreciates the challenge of being/ becoming a rightful ‘King’ in the hearts and minds of myriads of people… The majority of whom are Moderns… educated, democratic… steeped in enlightenment values, and who put little weight on the mystical powers of the Baubles of office.
The Divine right of Kings’ is an obsolete doctrine.
Many Britain’s simply see the Monarchy as a Tourist attraction.
Then you have the Noisy minority of Woke Marxist extremists in every corner of the Commonwealth who want to abolish the monarchy and set up a Communist New World Order!
These people are fundamentally opposed to everything British. They despise The values of the Commonwealth, They are a dangerous and destructive element… who in their right mind would listen to these lunatics?
At birth Princess Elisabeth was not directly in line for the Throne, yet she was fated to be Queen. She was by the time of her Coronation popular with the people, particularly for her conduct during WW2 when she and her parents shared the lot of Londoners during the Bliz. Upon turning 18 voluntered to aid the War effort becoming a Mechanic in the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), the women’s branch of the British Army.
Read more here.
As already mentioned, with his mothers enduring reign, Charles has had plenty of time to seriously contemplate how he is going to perpetuate popular support for the Monarchy into the New era yet I think he has made a monumental blunder in thinking the future will be Woke.
He has positioned himself not only as a member of the Cult of Climate Alarmism, he has also endorsed Claus schwab’s ‘Great Reset’.
Is this because *His masters in the Illuminati* have commanded him to steer the British empire in this direction?
Prince Charles and Evelyn de Rothschild.
It is a dangerous path to take!
Not only is it a betrayal of the independence of the British Isles, In taking this course he is selling out the chief reason why it was a reasonable idea for Nations like New Zealand to remian in the Commonwealth!
If The King has gone Woke… then we are better of cutting ties and setting up our own Republic that retains our Sovereignty separate from Schwabs Globalist NWO.
This means we must defend Free Speech at all costs so that we can rally our people to fighting the Communist Globalists embedded in our institutions and establish a truely Free Constitutional republic.
I believe Charles has made a huge blunder.
Western civilisation hangs in the balance, yet I believe the true weight still is in favour of Commonsense, National sovereignty, and Christian/enlightenment values.
We all know what a monumental marketing blunder it was for Budweiser Beer to go woke! Totally alienating their Core Customer base. The strategy was to ‘modernize’ their brand to make it more appealing to the next generation…. It was an Epic failure!
Charles is the Bud-light of Kings, basing his future upon bad marketing advice. If the Monarchy no longer stands for the Classical British Ideals that underpinned the Free West then it no longer serves it’s purpose as a bulwark against barbarous encroachments.
Wrong Bet Charlie!
Go Woke… Go Broke!
He is primed to sell out the British Isles and Commonwealth to Claus Schwarbs Great Reset, and the WEF New World Order.
The Coronation itself will be a spectacle!
Not since Edmund Hillary conquered Everest has the Empire witnessed such Pomp!
So under King Charles will the monarchy become like Tits on a Bull?
Serving no useful purpose whatsoever?
Worse still will be be a bumbling fool and lead the Empire into Socialist Global slavery?
It sure looks that way.
Update: 7-5-23
The Big problem New Zealand has is that one of Comrade Jacinda Ardern’s most treasonous actions was to alienate New Zealand from the ANZUS alliance, preferring to snuggle up the the Chinese Dragon.
In fact the previous National Party Government…. Blinded by truck loads of Yuan had already moved us in this same direction… putting us more and more into economic dependence with this Demonic Power.
This is frightening stuff!
Despite my fears about Charles, with all the subversive voices echoing around the globe demanding apologies for colonization, and polls that claim nations don’t want Charles as their monarch, I do believe maintaining the Commonwealth is in New Zealand’s best interests as we are militarily weak, thus our only protection from being swallowed up by the likes of China is in having close mutual bonds with more powerful allies of which Great Britain and fellow Commonwealth countries like Australia are vital.
This is much to be preferred than becoming a Vassal of The Chinese Communist Party.
The day Ardern openly admitted her Covid Rules regarding the passport created a two tier society.
Watch…
That is a snapshot of the real Demon that hid behind the Professionally crafted PR face she upheld with great care. It was out of character for her to be so ‘without wax’…. sincere. That day she could not resist gloating about what she was doing to us who we rejected her spin.
The Covid 19 passport worked as a pilot for a full blown Social credit system… and sadly the majority of New Zealanders simply rolled over and accepted it.
The Covid 19 scamdemic. lockdowns, and vaccine mandates are a Sociology/phycology gold mine in the science of Mass manipulatio.
The way the passport worked was everyone who complied with the governments agenda to vaccinate every Man woman and child recieved their papers… a digital passport and were therefore allowed to enjoy Bar’s Restaurants and Cafes,… get their hair cut… and attend family funerals, etc. Their Jobs were safe. yet those of us who refused the frankenshots were punished. Our jobs were in peril, we missed funerals, we could not socialise in Bars , clubs, etc.
That’s exactly how a totalitarian social credit system works…
(Above) The heroic Kellie Jay Keen-Minshull aka Posie Parker in the heart of Woke fanatical hatred…. Kiwistyle.
In fear of her life. She came here to promote woman’s rights and safe spaces for woman and girls.
Albert Park Auckland New Zealand 25-3-23.
Far Left Green Woke Radicalism is the number 1 Hate ideology in New Zealand, and represents an extreme danger to our society. The real problem is the Rot goes all the way to the Top. This is what Post-Ardern NZ looks like.
The extent of the Woke Craze here was on full display yesterday at Albert park.
We saw their ‘tolerance’ in action… akin the US BLM and Antifa violence.
It is rotting our once great and free nation from the inside out.
We have become an international joke.
Wokism Kiwistyle embodies Marxist Anti-western Anti-Christian Anti-Enlightenment values , Radical Maori Separatism, Sexism, Slavery to the New World Order, Mass systematic immigration, Anti-free speech, pro-totalitarian Socialism, Climate Hysteria…. all rolled up into a bundle of delusional hateful self destructive Madness.
By pointing these facts out makes me (in their evaluation) a dangerous Alt right extremist Nazi… Like Posey Parker. And we should not be tolerated to express our wrongthink.
Watch the video (above)
What a welcome this Classical Woman’s advocate received!
This storm has been raging within the modern day feminist movement for some time now. Once Gays and feminists were United, yet the Trans-radical extreme Left have splintered Feminists into two camps.
It’s very important to distinguish Classical Feminism (which is righteous) from Rabid 4th wave Feminism (which is psychotic and hateful towards Men… that is unless they are Trans, or Gay men).
The clash within Feminism today is between these two groups. Classical Feminism has been infiltrated and hijacked by the Radical Left, yet their push to impose transgender Men into woman’s spaces has caused outrage from classically minded feminists like Kellie Jay Keen, who wake up to the fact their movement now promotes gross Anti-female fantasies.
Wikipedia TERF:
TERF is an acronym for trans-exclusionary radical feminist. First recorded in 2008, the term was originally used to distinguish transgender-inclusive feminists from a group of radical feminists who reject the assertion that trans women are women, the inclusion of trans women in women’s spaces, and transgender rights legislation.Wikipedia.
It has been truly said 25-3-23 was a black day for free speech in New Zealand.
In what was supposed to be a day for woman’s rights advocacy, turned into an absolutely disgraceful exhibition for how steeped in Far Left extremism/ Woke radicalism a significant portion of our nation has become.
Kellie was assaulted even before she had a chance to speak, while the NZ Police just stood back and let the chaos ensue.
She easily could have been killed.
Was that what the powers that be hoped would happen?
When the crowd began invading the bandstand and assaulting her people, she had to run the gauntlet through the frenzied crowd of Far Left extremists who clearly wanted to inflict harm upon her protected only by a thin shield of her own security team.
It was only after her brave team had extracted her that the Police then moved to escort her the final few steps… putting on a show for the cameras. After all appearances are important.
Somewhere in a hazy Potpourri filled lounge the decision was made to allow the woke horde to run amok… to turn this political event into a fiasco… to serve as a precedent for stopping future Free speech events that dare to advocate opinions that don’t align with the State’s Woke agenda.
The police stood idle.
Ardern may be gone yet she’s left her stains. She was hell bent on enacting heavy restrictions on Free speech under the excuse of outlawing ‘hate speech’, yet what constitutes hate and what constitutes Truth is most often dependent upon a persons personal values and beliefs. And given Arderns own extreme Leftist ideals it was obvious from the beginning the types of Speech she would outlaw.
The real Dangerous Radicals in New Zealand currently have a license to operate. The largely State funded Woke Left in media. In no way can it be said they represent a ‘Free Press’. They work like a wing of the Woke States Propaganda department. One of their own Kate Hannah runs the ‘Disinformation project’. She and her mate Ardern turned the focus of the Police onto their political adversaries creating the Bogus Far Right extremism narrative. Yesterday’s obscene demonstration puts paid to that Machiavellian propaganda. Comparatively speaking The far right are non-existent in NZ! There would be only a fraction of 1% of the population who can accurately be described as ‘Far right’, yet Socialist’s Like Ardern and the Greens have sort to change the definition of that to mean *anyone/everyone* who does not support their own Far left views.
IMO The NZ Media must take the Lions share of responsibility for what happened!
They relentlessly sowed hatred against this little woman…. falsely associating her with Nazis… Falsely labelling her ‘Insane’ and ‘Anti-trangender’ when in truth she is a Womans rights advocate who simple does not want Woman’s sport dominated by Men suffering severe identity crisis.
She does not want Woman and girls to get undressed in changing rooms in front of Men in wigs, and be exposed to Dicks swinging in the breeze!
The NZHerald was particularly guilty for the Chaos. One of their own contributors (Shaneel Lal) was the poster They/them for rallying every Purple haired whacko and Commy Hipster north of the Bombays… hell bent on insuring Posey Parker would regret setting foot on New Zealand soil.
The NZ Herald thinks anyone who thinks ‘People with Penises’ are not woman is deemed to be ‘insane’? The NZherald is insane for thinking they are! The Left have bastardised the English language. Pretending Gender and biological sex are separate things they have successfully inflicted insanity/Mind cancer.
It was a vulgar display of Hypocrisy and ingratitude toward a nation that has been very open and inclusive towards them! For all New Zealand has done, this is how the Woke repay us! By violating others Free Speech, violence, and intimidation! You are dangerous Thugs. Extremists!
The tweet below shows the mindset of the woke radical and how they conflate speech with violence and violence with speech.
What the Woke Radicals did yesterday at Albert Park was not ‘More speech’. It was mob violence. Only a moron, a degenerate, or a Black hearted corrupt extremist cant understand the difference. Yet I guess when a person believes Woman’ can have dicks such people have abandoned reason.
The Left turn so many terms, words, and definitions inside out and back to front. Speech they don’t like is criminal ‘violence’, yet violence they commit is lawful ‘speech’. Hate is tolerance, tolerance is hate. Men are woman, Sex is not gender, censorship is kindness, etc
The Trans-activist Greens say ‘Terfs’ like Posie Parker deny Trans-folk have rights. That’s false.
Parker does not deny Trans-folk have rights, but says those rights are *equal*. They don’t get preference. They don’t get to impose themselves on others. Those things are *not rights* for anyone. Today they imposed themselves on a woman. Kinda toxic IMO. Kinda Rapey don’t you think? Monumental hypocrisy given how much these same activist harp on about Men’s oppression of woman!
Apparently it’s ok for Dick swinging Men to Dominate Woman if they self-identify as Trans!
Despite the scale of Yesterday’s spectacle The Greens and their Rabid band are just a fringe party for loons! Only the naïve think that Rabble represented heartland New Zealand! Only blinkered zealots seriously entertain the idea most New Zealanders believe Woman can have dicks?
No. Most New Zealanders agree with Posey.
This is election year, yet where is National’s voice?
National are missing a prime opportunity to show leadership, promote Free speech and Law and Order. They should be slamming Labour and the NZ Police for not protecting Posey and Free speech in New Zealand. Luxon is a bumbling Idiot completely out of his depth. He’s Woke. He’s Broke
Yesterday exposed the Minority Faction for the vile anti-democratic dangerous nut jobs that they are, and the fruit of their vile anti-freedom intolerant ideology.
The truth is they represent a small but growing minority of extremists… a frantic tail seeking to wag the dog… by endeavoring to have a monopoly over what is allowed to be thought and spoken in public, and in the press.
This Rabble horde are but puppets. It’s the aims of the Puppet Masters that must be understood. They want a breakdown of Western Social cohesion and order so they can implement their New World Order. They want speech to be abandoned and replaced with violence and chaos. No Cap. This same war of ideology is raging across all Westerndom… sapping out strength…. priming our civilisation for the Great Reset.
Satan laughing spreads his wings.
We can safely assume the politicised NZ Police Bigwigs did not want Parker to be allowed into New Zealand. Once here they did zero to insure her safety. They will chuckle she has been forced to cancel her Wellington event and were extremely happy to usher her to to the Exit lounge of Auckland airport. That’s the state of the right of Free speech in New Zealand today!
Posie Parker did NZ a large service by exposing the true nature of far left woke radicalism growing unchecked here in NZ, as it is in most Western Nations. She lanced the festering boil, and all the Puss and gall erupted for all to see.
Ironically while the Wokesters wax lyrical about their success in preventing Parker from speaking, in truth they harmed their cause! Their actions have caused many supporters with ethics to abandon them in disgust.
Many Gay people are also becoming more and more applauded by the actions of Trans activists. Most Gays never sort to impose themselves upon Women and Children like the Trans community is doing.
New Zealanders had better get their act together and defeat the fast growing Leftist radicalism or surrender our country to the Savages and Totalitarianism.

P.S I’m not Anti-Transgender. I’m pro-equality of rights… just sayin.
New Zealand Current PM Chris Hipkins…. who inherited power From Her Supreme Wokenss Jacinda Ardern
Welcome to The Peoples Republic of New Zealand where The Woke State Police keep tabs on Suspected Dissidents who seek to spread propaganda contrary to the Peoples Party’s Will.
The Yappa is running circles around the Dozy porch pooch. Compare Luxon to that old dirty dog W Peters! Peters is a singular political dinosaur outliving all rivals not because he’s a man of integrity. Peters epoch spanning career comes from his ability to see what the sheeple are pissed about on election year then pretending he’ll change things if you vote for him. A shyster IMO, yet has the instinct of a fox.
Luxon is missing a golden opportunity for National to correct their course back to their core values which would be hard for Hipkins to critisise without showing his radical woke underpants… something he’s doing his best to hide. That’s his strategy to dupe the sheeple… and it’s working esp because Kiwi see Luxon wears woke undies too, and National was complicit in what the Ardern/ Hipkins Regime did to our Nation over the past 6 years.
Who would have believed our country could be so radically altered in such a short timeframe… against the will of the majority? And they had far more radical ambitions too, yet thankfully the People protested, and Ardern resigned a pariah. Yet the damage is done. Luxon is too stupid to campaign on undoing *All Ardern’s Radical Woke Anti-Freedom Anti-Kiwi Impositions* Repeal all those Extreme Tyrannical Health Laws, Uphold The NZ Bill of Rights, Put National back on track to finish the Treaty settlement process and ditch the separatist seats in parliament. Defend Law abiding New Zealanders Gun rights from further erosion. etc, etc. Sadly Luxon is woke too, and a WEF stooge. The WEF has Dogs in both camps, That’s how the Super Global Elites rig Democratic systems…. No mater how the sheeple vote… their minions get into power, and the West continues it’s march towards the Great Reset, The New Global digital currency, and the NWO… sold out by the likes of Luxon and Seymour who are too gullible to see what is happening right in front of their snouts! We are talking about an end to National Sovereignty in which New Zealanders retain control of their own country. Instead Global committees will dictate to us how things will be from now on. Enforced by politicised Police, Heavy restrictions on Free speech, and eventually a Social credit system for which the Covid Passport was a test run. Those who obeyed the Ardern regime and got the Jab, they received their ‘Papers’. Their Jobs were protected, and they could enjoy Bars and Cafes, restaurants, and attend weddings/funerals. Those contrary Social misfits who went against the Dictates of Our Great Leader lost their jobs, and were forbidden from all those things… That’s exactly how a Social Credit system works. If you don’t comply, If you hold contrary opinions, you will be ‘Taught’ a lesion… you will be ‘encouraged’ to fall into line… and it’s all done under the colour of the public good. The individual is secondary to the Collective and the all wise benevolent woke State. And all of this was being planned and imposed from afar… with all western governments in Lockstep!
Who would have believed any of this would become ‘the new normal’ just a decade ago?
and yet we wake up today with this whole system rolling out… and Luxon, and Seymour don’t even see the Floodwaters about their ankles. Everything I have just said is a whack conspiracy theory….
Sorry about the long rant.
It just scares me to see Luxon snatching defeat from the Jaws of Victory… and that even if he wins… what real difference will it make?

Behold Evil Incarnate!
This is where most of the Rot comes from in Western civilisation. Rabid Ideological Radicals in Education who have zero respect for the principles of a free society corrupting the minds of future generations.
She thinks she should be allowed to teach kids what their parents *don’t want*.
By her logic, If you chose not to get a master’s degree… say instead you chose to be a builder, then she thinks that makes you a parent of dubious quality and intellect! She thinks your decision not become a teacher like her should disqualify your right to decide what your children will be taught… because we’re Idiots!
This is no joke people. Parents ought to be alarmed at the sort of Ideas that haunt the schools to which they entrust their kids.
This is where all the madness germinates that is absolutely destroying our Freedoms, and quality of life, and sowing so much intolerance, censorship, and division!
“If You are white you should be ashamed”…. “Boys can be girls”…. “Men are Rapists”…. “Capitalism is Evil”…. “Colonisation was a Crime”…. “The world is going to end unless we surrender to the new world order…” ” Illiterate Stone age culture is just as good… if not better than the most advanced societies…”. etc etc….
This dangerous doctrinaire is far from alone. She is expressing what passes for ‘liberal education’ today… across the globe including here in New Zealand.
Gone are all enlightenment values and ideals!
Radical Socialism is the order of the day!
She really means it too! Speaking from ‘her self important superior heart’.
She thinks it’s a mistake to ‘Allow Parents’ to choose what their children read!
She wants to decide what she thinks your kids should imbibe, think, believe, etc.
She has a Masters Degree, yet is absolutely Brain dead when it comes to the Principles of a free society.
It’s at University where she herself was indoctrinated!
Her doctrine is pure Authoritarian Socialism, and she is reading from a script… quoting “lines that she loves…”
Here is what she thinks her roll is as a teacher…
“We must remember that the purpose of public education is not to teach only what the parents want. It is to teach what society needs them to be taught.”
That most certainly is *not* what the propose of Education is in a free society… only in an Authoritarian State in which the people are the slaves of the all powerful State.
There are still some fabulous teachers who are there for the traditional vocational calling, yet their voices are never herd in the important debates on the future of education.
These discussions are always dominated by Woke reformers and Ideological extremists.
God help any children who don’t have engaged parents who instill strong independent values and wisdom!
They become grist for the mill.
Damien Grant: “Our country is better because there are those advocating for, and against, things that they passionately believe in or are opposed to.”
Check out Damien Grant’s latest opinion piece. Link below. But first a few Wikiriwhi musings.
IMO Damien is probably New Zealand best freedom orientated political commentator who gets footage in the mainstream media, even though he often says things that get up my nose.
He is definitely an advocate of less government, yet frames his articles in such a way that his personal proclivity is not punching Fascists and Commies in the face… and that is why he gets published in the mainstream when few other Liberty minded people do.
Via his style he is able to squeeze in some very important Libertarian takes on thorny issues that otherwise never reach the public discourse, because he splices them seamlessly within the cloth that otherwise might appear to be congratulating the successes of the advocates of Totalitarianism (and it is an objective fact that Woke Far left activism is kicking arse and making us freedom advocates look like Chumps!).
Today’s article (link below) is a perfect example of this strategy.
It may be painful to read… but it’s 100% true… or at least 95% true.
Though in no way can it be said that Damien is an Anti-vaxxer, I don’t think it is a coincidence he penned this article now… after the Big Propaganda piece ‘Boiling Point’ much lauded by those who hate the Anti-covid lockdown protesters just dropped the other day.
IMO this is Damien’s stealthy impartial way of defending that historic and righteous protest… in principle.
The topic is participating in our nations democracy. Grant makes no mention as to why our particular brand of Democracy makes being ceaselessly active far more critical than it otherwise would be if we had an enlightened ever vigilant Liberty loving population who prided themselves on self-reliance, and an iron clad constitution that kept meddlesome power mad totalitarians in fetters.
Oh what such a blessed state of affairs that would be!
New Zealand was once a strong self-reliant population… the envy of the world… yet we have lost this and become a nation of woke sheeple begging for safe spaces and hand outs.
We should sit in sackcloth and ashes.
We have become consumed with envy. Men have become effeminate from decades of ease.
Our system of government… the unconstrained arbitrary powers of our parliament means none of our rights, liberties, or property are secure. We are being bleed dry via taxes. We are treated like rats in social experiments. Our Lives count for zero. We are muzzled. Our kids are brainwashed in State schools. And the ether is thick with mainstream NWO agenda driven propaganda so that the fools now beg for their own enslavement.
Any hysteria, or trend can and does move parliament to act rashly and swing a club.
When seeking to prevent any constitutional restraints being put on parliament Margert Wilson once called the status quo ‘Our wonderfully fluid system’… yeah right!
Wonderful for meddlesome radical Ideologues!
Things are not looking good.
Should we throw away our rifles and run for the coast?
That may look like a tempting proposition to some.
Not this Maori! “The Arawa have 8 Breaths!”.
Better to die facing the enemy than with a spear in the back.
Things being as they are we Liberty minded, pro equality advocates need to lift our game… and be tireless and resolved in working for our treasured values and ideals.
Freedom and justice depend on it.
We cannot falter.
We cannot retire. esp given our values and Ideals are in peril.
We must do what we can to our final breath…
And we must maintain our dignity and spirit… conducting ourselves honorably… even when our adversaries fight dirty… such as using Cancel culture, deplatforming, etc.
Otherwise what will our legacy be?
The generation that quit, and let freedom slip away.
We have a mountain to conquer.
Lets get to it!

Update: Damien Grant responds… From here and here.
Now… to the Article….
************
Damien Grant says….
“…If you, like me, have a strong set of opinions on how our country should be run, there are ways to achieve this without waiting for the cumbersome, protracted and often ineffective electoral system. This is even more so given the atrophying membership of political parties.
The environmental movement provides an excellent demonstration of how ideas combined with determined advocacy has impacted both government policy, as well as the personal choices of individuals.
By contrast, those with a conservative and free-market agenda have not been as effective. The high-watermark for free-markets was the late 1980s and early 1990s….”

How hilarious!
Woke radical Academic realises they are their own worst enemy!
She was advocating for a payday at other peoples expense… holding other people as guilty for the so-called sins of their ancestors… only to find out that by her own reckoning… she is a privileged oppressor herself!
EPIC!
I wonder if this fact makes her reconsider her own lunatic racist collectivist idiot reasoning?

Article: ‘No, No, No, No’: Radical Black Activist Learns She Is Descended from a Mayflower Passenger
Radical black activist Angela Davis was visibly shocked when she learned that she was a descendant of the pilgrims on the Mayflower.
The self-avowed Marxist feminist and former black power activist in the 1970s appeared as a guest on the PBS series “Finding Your Roots” Tuesday. During her interview, host Henry Louis Gates, Jr. revealed that she is a descendant of one of the original passengers on the Mayflower, William Brewster.
Davis is in complete astonishment. “No, I can’t believe this,” she says, laughing and throwing her hands up. “No, my ancestors did not come here on the Mayflower,” she laughs again.
“Your ancestors came here on the Mayflower,” Gates repeats. “You are descended from one of the 101 people who sailed on the Mayflower.”
“No. No, no, no, no,” she responds, still laughing in disbelief. Finally, she collects herself. “Oof. That’s a little bit too much to deal with right now,” she says….

This is a piece I have been working on for months, and yet it is nowhere near what I would deem to be ‘finished’.
Yet I am publishing it today here on Eternal Vigilance Blog for the public holiday for Waitangi Day 2023, as my contribution to the ongoing defense of the Kiwi Dream, The values that underpinned the British Colonisation of New Zealand from the relentless slander and falsification that is pervasive across all modes of communication with the intention of brainwashing the population.
How important is it to have a solid grasp of history?
Very important lest you be deceived and defrauded by agenda driven liars.
“He who controls the past… controls the future” saith George Orwell meaning if Machiavellian political actors can shade your view of history… they will also be able to manipulate and proscribe your future… and that translates into Political Power.
Captain of No.2 Company, Forrest Rangers. Major Gustav von Tempsky.
Above is photo of a New Zealand hero. Prussian born Major Gustav von Tempsky. He Lived and died in New Zealand, in the mid 1800s, yet his exploits are just as relevant today as they were 150+ years ago… and that is because we live in a time in which Machavellian radicals are seeking to ‘control the past’ precisely as Orwell warned… so that they can control our future… and they are doing a splendid job of it too…. at the present time…they are actually winning the fight… and the defenders of truth, freedom and enlightenment values are withering under the onslaught.
We desperately need reinforcements!
Do you want your children to inherit an apartheid socialist slave society… or to enjoy the same freedoms and quality of life that older generations of Kiwi have enjoyed?
If you care about future generations you better wake up to what is going on… fast!
Arm your self with Truth and knowledge, and Just principles… put your boots on and succor the heroic minority of freedom advocates battling the barbarians.
If you are a Kiwi, yet have never herd of Von Tempsky then you are one of the many who have neglected to study the colonial heritage of our nation. Your ignorance makes you easy meat to be fooled.
Or perhaps you consider yourself to be ‘educated and informed’ on ‘the evils of British Imperialism and the crimes of the colonisation of New Zealand… if then you think you know about Von Tempsky and his contemporaries you will no doubt believe he was a Villainous racist and murderer… if this is the case you have been thoroughly fooled already!
You have been sold malicious lies, and fallen under the power of those who are seeking to destroy our Western society… and take everything for themselves.
No Joke…. everything is at stake!
I am committed to the cause of promoting the counter-narrative to todays politically driven falsehoods… I endeavor to present a far more accurate understanding of our history so that by consideration of the facts as recorded in history proper, and weighing up the two contrasting views my countrymen can make their own determination as to which fits best. I have confidence that the truth can wake up those whom have been deceived.
And when you appreciate the swindle that is afoot my hope is that you will join us in the fight to defeat the vile ideology of Radical Far left extremism and Treaty separatism.
Lets get going…
Capitan Gustav Von Tempsky (Major) Was A Great Man of High Character… A Hero Who Gave His Life For Our Country.
Today’s blogpost is in defense of the character and Legacy one of New Zealand’s most brave heroes of the 19th Century. An artist, Adventurer, and man who fought to defend our young nation from violent overthrow, and who gave his life defending the Treaty of Waitangi for the sake of law and order… as a member of ‘The Armed Constabulary’.
The contribution that he, and his generation made to secure our nation and lay the foundations for our prosperity has been shamefully forgotten in the century of peace that followed their brave and principled actions.
The Heroic Death of Von Tempsky.
Von Tempsky in his time was a celebrated Hero!
He was worthy of public esteem.
Along with other defenders of New Zealand in recognition of their service to our nation, the city of Hamilton would name a city street in his honour.
The name of the city itself ‘Hamilton’ was named after yet another brave soldier who lost his life fighting Rebel Maori at the Battle of Gate Pa.
The Tainui led Kingites and their allies were defeated by the joint heroism of both British and Loyalist Maori forces, upholding British Sovereignty and the Rule of Law, securing the future Peace, good will and prosperity we now enjoy.
Because in war there are victors and the defeated, afterwards there are always those who carry bitterness and scheming malcontents looking for wealth and power can take advantage of such divides by devious political means. This is where the desire to destroy the reputation of Men like VonTempsky finds it’s root. Haters gina be haten… the scent of money via playing the victim…. ‘Reparations for past oppression’…. thus the impetus to generate ‘tales of injustice and woe…’
Truth is the first casualty.
Obviously having been defeated in battle some insignificant few cling to resentment, ill feelings and harbour desires for Utu, yet time tends to salve wounds, and having fought wars against vested interests that desired to prevent progress, and drive Pakeha ‘back into the sea’, the nation sought to put the conflicts of the 1860s aside (this is true of most of the defeated leaders of the rebellion too) and focus on fostering unity and quiet… yet sadly in doing so…
100+ years on we have allowed an ignorance to prevail in succeeding generations about the true nature and causes of the conflicts … an ignorance that is now being fully exploited by a minority of malevolent envious malcontents… Contemptuous politicians, ideologues, and racist activists to spread lies about the collonistation of New Zealand…. so that today instead of being revered with their due honor, Von Tempsky (and his contemporaries) is being reviled as some sort of racist monster… a purposefully politically fabricated caricature that is supposed to be representative of the ‘evils of colonisation’ in general.
I have written in defense of Von Tempsy’s honor many times in the past, in particular I made a written submission to Hamilton City Council in 2020 when they asked for public submissions on the proposal to strip Hamilton City of place and Street names that honored great men of our colonial past, in particular many who fought and defeated the Tainui Kingite rebellion (Read here).
The desire to destroy these tributes and monuments comes from a specific political Lobby and vested interest.
Hamilton City Council announced a suspension of this public discourse into these matters under the pretext of ‘Social Distancing for Covid 19’.
A scheduled public hearing was postponed… indefinitely. I suspect they had miscalculated the public backlash that was expressed in written submissions.
Instead they implemented a scheme that only granted excusive participation from selected quarters…. mainly Tainui activists… bypassing/ disenfranchising the public at large from having a voice in the process… The Hamilton press failing to voice any protest to their machinations.
They instituted a shambolic closed doors ‘inquisition’ of Gustav von Tempsky… and found him guilty… and past the verdict that his memorial street shall be ‘Blotted out’.
and… Hundreds sign petition to rename Hamilton streets named after ‘assholes’ who fought Māori
(note: No real public process was involved in collecting ‘1600 signatures’ for these petitions. They will have been collected at places like Wananga’s and Marae, ie in places where the false narratives of the wars are most strongly indoctrinated, and given Hamilton city has a population of over 180 000, 1600 signatures represents less than 1%!)
These articles represent how our nations media has been hijacked by Far left radicalism… Marxist Communist anti-British colonsation doctrines.
I seek to expose the extreme malice and gross injustice of misrepresenting the character of the Brave Men such as Von Tempsky who fought for Queen and country.
Today, quoting from recorded history, and from other personal observations, I will further reinforce my contention that history bares witness to the fact that Von Tempsky was a man of Honor.
Von Tempsky was not ‘a Maori hating Racist’ as the Woke left try to portray him, and I seek to expose the duplicity of his detractors who point to his ‘Glory seeking antics’… as evidence of an evil racist ‘Blood-lusting’ mentality.
They fail to apply the same standard to the mindset of the thousands of Rebel Maori Warriors who were absolutely obsessed with the attainment of such glory for themselves… and who ready did take pleasure in the slaughter of white people.
James Cowan.
There is no higher authority in the recording of the history of the armed conflicts in New Zealand of the 1800’s than James Cowan and his two volumes ‘The New Zealand Wars’.
Not only did Cowan visit the sites of battle while there were still ‘bullet holes in walls’, and spoke with many who themselves were participants able to give their accounts of what happened where… and why, Cowan demonstrates high levels of objectivity, and if anything like many Pakeha of his times his sympathy leans towards the dignity of the ‘Brave Rebels’.
This is esp conspicuous in his telling of the Battle of Orakau.
This is apparent when you read his history. I would measure his achievement as being willing to give credit where ever he thought it was due… but esp to ‘the underdogs’… The Rebels who were fighting against a far Superior Foe.
Courage… ‘Pluck’… being the primary virtue in war esp in ‘forlorn hope’. And the rebels surely were not inferior in this.
The fact is… as a person whom is well read in New Zealand history I assert you will struggle to find any traces of the ‘Bigoted White supremacy and desire to oppress Maori’, that todays Separatist radicals assert was the signature character of Pakeha in the first century of Colonisation.
It simply is not there. Yet compassion and the desire to praise Maori is virtually universal… yet you can only know this… if you actually study the historic records themselves rather than imbibe the ideological falsehoods of Radical and politically skewed modern day pseudo-Academics. They are Charlatans!
The Kingite Rebellion was a violent breach of the Treaty of Waitangi.
J Cowan called their cause… ‘A Struggle for Independence’ J Cowan. The New Zealand Wars. pg 316.
Governor Grey expressly warned if they did not desist from their murderous hostilities that were a breach of the treaty, he would punish them, and that they would lose their guarantees over their land which was part of the terms and conditions of them *honoring the treaty* esp the Sovereignty of Queen Victoria.
It is from Cowan’s works that I will now quote and make commentary…
“The Engagement At Mahoetahui.
The Upper Waikato contingent had gone home after Puketa-kaurere to tell of their victory over the pakeha, exhibit their trophies of battle, and plant their crops. The news of their prowess in the field, and and the sight of the soldiers’ caps and red coats in which some of them paraded, their newly gotten rifles, bayonets, and cartridge pouches, aroused at once the admiration and the jealousy of their neighbours. Ngati-Manipoto’s exploits fired all the Waikato tribes with ardour for the field. Nati-Haua’s war-fever could no longer be allayed even by the peace-loving Wiremu Tamehana. The stalwart men of Matamata, Tamahere, and Maunga-tautari had reluctantly remained in their kaingas when Potatau forbade Waikato and Ngati-Haua to cross the Puniu river and released only Ngati-Manipoto for the war on the Waitara. But now the old king was dead, and his runanga at Ngaruawhahia had little control over Ngati-Haua of the plains.
Why should Ngati-Manipoto have all the joy, and glory of killing the Pakeha?…”
James Cowan. The New Zealand Wars. Pt1 pg 193.
The above short passage is just a tiny taste of what is recorded in ‘The New Zealand Wars’ as to the Rebel Maori’s love of War and express desire to slaughter Pakeha.
Maori of old worshiped Tu… a Bloody God of War and after less than a hand full of decades since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, the Warrior Cult was still at the forefront of the least civilised tribesmen. Even today this aspect of Maori Culture is understood as foremost.
There is a lie circulating that the Urewera iwi Tuhoe never took part in the Maori rebellions of the 1860s.
They certainly did!
Moreover Tuhoe was an extremely Warlike people… and famous for their Black mystical Arts.
let us see how they are described by James Cowan…
‘These impassioned war-calls intensely excited the young warriors of Tuhoe, and inspite of the advice of some of the old chiefs they raised a company for the assistance of the Maori King. Two casks of gunpowder were given to Rewi’s party. One of these – presented by Harehare, Te Wiremu, and Timoti, of the Ngati-Manawa, at Tauaroa- had been sent from Ohinemuri by the old cannibal warrior Taraia Ngakuti, of Ngati- Tamatera. The touhungas had recited charms over the cask of powder to render the contents doubly efficacious asgainst the Pakeha; and it had been given the name “Hine-ia-Taraua.” Takurua Koro=kai-toke joined Rewi: he was the elder brother of Harehare, the present chief of Ngati-Manawa at Murupara, on the Rangitaiki. He and his wife Rawinia (Lavinia) were both wounded at Orakau. Harehare himself, having no grievance against Europeans, did not join, saying that he would fight the troops if they invaded the Rangitaiki country, but not otherwise. But Tuhoe and Ngati-Whare entertained no such punctilio; they were eager to make use of their weapons, and would travel far for the pure love of fighting…’
The New Zealand Wars. Pt 1. James Cowan. pg 368
So if any justice is to spoken about the lust for war, it must be understood that The Rebels themselves were by far the most enamored.
Nor did Martial minded Pakeha like Von Tempsky disrespect their War-like customs. It was understood that Martial prowess was *a source of Mana for any people* that demanded respect.
Likewise was Von Tempskys bravery and prowess in Battle revered by his enemies.
The blatant duplicity of so-called modern Historians, Socialist politicians, and Separatist activists in seeking to slander the character of the Colonial defenders by painting them as Blood-lusting greedy warmongers when in truth…. after the facts of Von Tempkys chivalrous conduct during the Wars are understood… those savage characteristics far more accurately describe the Bulk of Rebel Maori than the character and exploits of Von Tempsky.
Reading James Cowan’s ‘The New Zealand wars’ Wairemu Tamehana looms large. What singles him out from his ‘war-fevered’ peers was his ‘Peace-loving’ restraining influence and warnings that war would bring ill upon them. It was the fact that by far the prevailing desire among the rebel tribes was to exterminate the Pakeha that Wairemu Tamehana was ultimately unable to dissuade the Rebels from the murderous and disastrous actions that resulted in their defeat.
Activists and revisionists seek to portray Von Tempksy as a ‘Maori Hater’… a white supremacist bigot….
As to Von Tempsky’s attitude towards race and towards Maori in general, Cowan records that in Von Tempsky’s corps of Forest Rangers included 2 Negroes.
Cowan also mentions that before Von Tempsky arrived in New Zealand he had been involved in military’s escapades in South America in which he commanded an irregular force of ethnic Mosquito Coast native Indians. (James Cowan The New Zealand Wars Pt 1 pgs 269,270)
Conspicuous only to those who take the trouble to look into these events for themselves, Professor O’Malley’s character profile of Von Tempsky in his report for Hamilton City council is skewed in that he omits that prior to coming to New Zealand, while in America Von Tempsky had led a contingent of *Mosqutia Natives*, instead only mentioning the Von Tempsky had his first military’s experiences there.
O’Malley makes no mention of the two Blacks who served in Von Tempsky’s hand picked squad of Forrest Rangers.
“All nationalities were in the ranks…” (J Cowan The New Zealand wars Pt1 pg 268)
J Cowan notes that prior to joining the Forrest Rangers, while at the Coromandal Gold fields Von Tempsky himself had experienced some prejudice ‘on account of his nationality’
(J Cowan The New Zealand Wars Pt1 pg 270)
These facts do not square with the accusation that he was a man of pompous White supremacist bigoted views.
These are the sort of fact that would not be conducive to achieving the aims of Tainui and the Woke members of the Hamilton City Council in getting rid of VonTempsky’s legacy and ‘De-colonising’ the City… which is why corrupt O’Malley omits them from his report.
He was paid to produce a report that served to justify the intended political aims of Tainui and the Woke Council.
One opportunity O’ Malley used to paint Von Tempsky as a villain was when he expressed jealousy in playing no roll in the exploits of an action carried on by his friendly rival Captain (Major) William Jackson against raiding Maori Rebels. (O’Malley Report 112-113). O’Malley claims the action was reported as being ‘Murderous’ in the ‘Daily Southern Cross’ yet does not provide any verifiable reference… and so O’Malley presents Von Tempsky as being a Man who takes pleasure in the ‘Murder'[slaughter] of Maori including Woman and children… even though he was not there!
The truth is this action was far from ‘Murder’, but was in fact in just response to murderous raids this Hupu of Koheriki Maori were perpetrating against hard working and relatively defenseless pioneer ‘frontier’ homesteads on the outskirts of Auckland in which these murderous raiders were killing families, Men, woman in Children tending their farms.
“On the 13th October a party of Koheriki retaliated with an attack on unarmed Europeans within a short distance of the Galloway Redoubt. An elderly man named Job Hamlin was killed, and his companion, a boy named Joseph Wallis, about 13 years of age was terribly tomahawked, but by a miracle survived his wounds…”
“On the 15th, October an old soldier named Fahey and his wife, who were settled on a small bush farm near Ramarama, were out milking their cows when they were surprised by some of the Koheriki and shot and tomakawked…”
” A party of twenty Koheriki natives on the 26th October raided Kennedy’s farm at Mangemangeroa, a few miles from Howick in the direction of Maraetai. Mr Trust, who was in charge of the farm, was away in Auckland at the time, but there were three of his sons in occupation, besides two men, Courtenay and Lord. Ambrose Trust was the eldest son; the others, Richard and Nicholas Trust, were nine and twelve years of age. Lord, who was a workman on the place, was leaving the farmhouse at about 7 o’clock to go to his house when he saw a number of armed Maoris crouching in a ditch near the house. Lord and Courtenay escaped, but the latter was wounded The Maoris fired through the front window. Ambrose Trust Trust, taking his little brothers by the hand, ran out the back and hurried in the direction of the neighbours. The Maori gave chase and shot down the two small boys. Ambrose, wounded in the shoulder, with difficulty escaped.
The boys were tomahawked…”
J Cowan. The New Zealand Wars. Pt1 pgs 291,292, 293
This is the type of Atrocities the Kingites were committing.
These shameful attacks were sanctioned by the Kingite Rebel leadership as an implicit part of their strategy, it is therefore outrageous of O Malley to then call the Forrest Rangers response to these Koheriki raids ‘Murder’.
The response was fully justified *Utu*.
It was because of these outrages that the Forrest Ranger companies were formed, and that O’ Malley omits the context of the ‘Paparata fight’ in light of what these roving bands of rebels were committing in my view constitutes a purposeful intent to misrepresent the historical facts for the sake of a political narrative.
Calling O’Malley an historian is an outrageous lie.
He is a Charlatan.
He and his ilk completely reverse historical truth!
It was the Rebel Maori who intended to commit Racial cleansing and atrocities not Grey’s Collonial Government.
The Colonial Government had to defeat the Kingite rebellion to prevent them carrying out their intention to slaughter the entire population of Auckland!
That the Kingites intended to slaughter Men, Woman, and Children was expressly warned by none other than Wiremu Tamehana.
” The war now waged was very different from Hone heke’s chivalrous tournament of 1845. It was a racial war; The Maori aim was to sweep the pakeha to the sea, as the Pakeha Government’s object was to teach the Maori his subjection to British authority. The Europeans were not without warning that the sharp and barbarous old Maori methods of warfare were to be revived.
Wiremu Tamehana himself, deeply as he sorrowed over the inevitable conflict, was compelled to place himself in line with his countrymen. He warned the Archdeacon Brown, at Tauranga, that he -meaning his race- would spare neither unarmed persons (tangata rina-kore) nor property. In August, 1863, he wrote to the Governor cautioning him to bring ‘to the towns the defenseless, lest they be killed in their farms in the bush,” “But” he concluded, “you are well acquainted with the customs of the Maori race” The frontier settlers who remained on their sections did so at their own risk. No chief, not even a King or the kingmaker, could restrain a party of young bloods on the war-path seeking to flesh their tomahawks. They would quote the ancient war-proverb, He marara kokti ihu waka” ( A flying-fish crossing the bow of the canoe”) in allusion to any luckless persons whom a fighting Taua might find in it’s path, and in the stern logic of the Maori there could be no reasonable protest against the practical application of the aphorism by cutting short the career of the “flying-fish”.
(J Cowan The New Zealand Wars Pt1 pgs 239-42)
From the above quotation we also get a picture of the truth that it was the Young Rebel Maori Warriors who reveled in murder and the tomakawking of the defenseless!
In no way can Von Tempsky’s conduct as a fighting man be compared with this real *Old world Maori barbarism and brutality*… defenseless people are considered ‘flying fish’ to be tomahawked.
Von Tempsky’s Art Legacy
With respect to Von Tempsky’s treatment of Maori woman during the War, and accusations of atrocities committed Rangiaowhia, anyone who takes the time to investigate recorded History will find the truth to be in diametric opposition to the fabrications of the Anti-colonialist Radicals!
Unlike the British/Colonial forces in which only men fought (save woman defending their own homesteads from murderous Rebel assaults), on the Rebel Kingite side woman often participated in battle as active armed combatants… on the offensive… making it very difficult for the chivalry of the British who found it repugnant to shoot woman.
eg, With the attacking warriors ‘
…was a woman, armed with a single barrel gun, a cartridge-belt buckled about her waist. The little clearing, so quiet a few moments before, was filled with the bellowing of heavily loaded ‘Tupara’ and the sharp crack of rifes. High about the other sounds rose the screaming voice of the Maori Amazon as she exhorted her warrior comrades, “Riria! Riria!” (Fight away! Fight Away!”)…’ J Cowan. The New Zealand Wars Pt1 pg 277
These realities are never admitted to by the lying Separatist radicals.
In truth it was the Kingites who relished the slaughter of Non-combatants, Men, woman, and children… not the British and Colonial forces.
At the capture of Rabgiaowhia James Cowan records that it was only after suffering repeated sniping from hate filled wahine, did troops move to capture them… they otherwise would have been left alone unmolested… and still even after having been disarmed and held prisoner VonTempsky signaled a guard to allow a woman to escape.
Later… when the actual Battle of Rangiaowhia took place and the Kingites were defeated, in the flight Wahine were intermingled with the fighting men to avoid shoot them the call went out from the British for the woman to ‘sit down’ those that heeded the call were saved.
No mention of any of these nuanced facts in O’Malleys Report which seeks to maintain gross fallacious pseudo-historical generalisation that the Kingites were the victims of vicious racism, Greed, and atrocities.
O Malley’s agenda is consistent. He Mistreats Governor Grey with the same malicious omission. Grey was a man of High Character and Bravery. At no point does O’Malley do him justice. For example while mentioning Grey’s unannounced visit to Ngaruawahia, O’Malley fails to mention this visit was done for the sake of avoiding conflict… it was a peace mission, at great risk to his personal safety. Grey trusted in his *Friendship and good will* with the Maori King. These are not the actions of a greedy warmonger.
Now I would like to discuss a witness to Von Tempsky’s impeccable character that as far as I can see has been totally overlooked … that is his own treatment of Maori as depicted in *his Art*. I believe Woke Socialist politicians and activists have avoided discussion of his Art because they literally paint a different picture as to VonTempsky’s attitude to Maori.
The study of Art tells us a lot about the artist’s inner voice.
I contend that by looking at the paintings Von Tempsky bequeathed to posterity you can see with your own eyes that he took great pains to present Maori as people of heroic and noble bearing.
The painting themselves are devoid of anything that could be construed as ‘White Supremacy’.
No Maori can glean any ill intent in how he portrays their race in his art.
I his aim was self Glorification of his race, and the debasement of Maori, He could have easily chosen to portray the grotesque savagery and barbarism of his enemies which he would have been very familiar having fought hand to hand combat with many frenzied blood-lusting Toa eager to claim his life to imortalise their own mana… yet he never stooped to such fickle ideological vice.
Thus his paintings testify to his good character, and they rebut the lies leveled against him.
Like so many lands that were once colonies of the British Empire We here in New Zealand must endure a campaign of relentless lies and malicious posthumous character assignation of many of our greatest historical figures.
Columbus is under attack by the Radical woke Far left in the USA.
Capitan Cook is under attack in Australia and elsewhere (including New Zealand)
No nuanced arguments underpin any of this, but grotesque and toxic Marxist brain worms drill into the minds of any and all useful idiots who have not been inoculated with truth
It is truly a despicable process that is in play… all of it a politically driven travesty motivated by hate, greed, and lust for power.
Only their twisted and highly prejudiced perspectives are given weight.
We are supposed to consider their grievances as being valid…. as if their endless and ongoing anguish and victimism is genuine. We are expected to ignore their obvious treasure seeking *Vested interests* that really motivate their activities.
All this dishonesty is not about ‘righting the wrongs of the past’, but about plunder, power, and conquering a nation by stealth through Machiavellian political deception.
It is a despicable travesty that only continues because of the ignorance. impotence, and cowardice of the great majority of New Zealanders who are allowing the Maori Radicals and far left Socialist’s to slander the great generations of Pioneer Collonialists who built this country.
Yesterday I took my son to Auckland Museum to see the Tyrannosaurus Rex ‘Fossil Skeletons’.
The first thing you see as you approach the main entrance to the museum is a rainbow flag flying in parallel with the New Zealand Flag.
A bad omen, for it bares testimony to the fact that The Museum is operating not by objective truth, but under the Woke Political Agenda.
It was quite a sight to see Two Tyrant Lizards on display.
On an interactive screen one of the things you could check was ‘How much of these skeletons are real fossils’… and it turned out to be ‘Not much’.
So most of what was on display was ‘fabrications’ based upon ‘expert opinion’… and from ‘replicating fossils found elsewhere’. From looking at the displays themselves the fabricated portions were seamlessly blended, weathered, ‘aged’, etc so as to be unperceivable from the real portions.
This is intentional.
Think about that.
‘Creating the desired perception’ has taken precedence over the honest representation of bare facts… which could have easily been achieved by making the fabricated portions conspicuous by employing a slightly different hue.
At least they admitted the truth in the interactive interface.
I enjoyed the display, appropriate for primary school children to be awed.
I could not shake the sense that given how little of the skeletons were real fossils, that the display was disingenuine.
I think what has been done with the T Rex on display is an example of how the Woke staff contemptuously treat history in general… like it’s theirs to play charades with.
They do not allow the artifacts to speak for themselves but arrogantly impose upon visitors the radical far left interpretation of events.
This Political indoctrination acts like the carefully crafted artificial scaffold that supported the Tyrant Lizards upright.
The experts impost their own posture onto the bones of history to control the perceptions of the visitors.
Cringe Wokeness is everywhere.
Despite overt virtue signaling, there is indisputably a dearth of real ethics and integrity going on there.
It is apparent to me that the Museum’s current management are more focused upon presenting Politically correct ideological narratives than History as historically understood.
The Rainbow Picture above is from here: Auckland Museum recognised for Rainbow Excellence in inaugural awards.
Much of what is on display at the Museum today is fake… the degree of fakery has become extreme…
After seeing the Dinosaurs my son wanted to look at the War artifacts, and when we reached the gallery for the New Zealand Wars of the Mid-late 1800s, what was not on display was as conspicuous as what was on display.
What was being fed the public was barely history… Sir George Grey was not there… nor any of the Colonial heroes who defeated the Rebel Maori. Von Tempsky was not there.
Yet they had on display such villains as Kereopa Te Rau, who murdered the Missionary Carl Volkner in 1865 and ate his eyes (they did not mention this).
The only quote I saw from ‘King maker’ Wiremu Tamihana was deceitful in that it painted the Pakeha as the ones in error and the Kingites as doing the right thing.
I am not disputing the authenticity of the quote (though that is the only time I have ever herd it), I am disputing it’s lack of context and obvious bias involved in it’s selection for the display. Without context the quote is used to beguile.
It was selected from among thousand of his utterances, not for true history’s sake, but to push a specific modern day political agenda, for Tamihana was a very complex person who said many things at different times much of which is conflicting.
The Woke Staff at the Auckland Museum are presenting a heavily skewed version of events that is dishonest, revisionist, and Quazi.
So IMO the Museum is no longer a repository of history, but an engine of Woke propaganda… and it is shameful.
Like much of the fossil T Rexs on display, The history section about the New Zealand wars is also largely artificially scaffolded fabrication carefully crafted to appear real.
When I was young the Auckland Museum was one of my most favorite places to visit, the displays were plain, and only bare facts were put on small tags. In the silence visitors were left to their own thoughts.
People were free to wander about and chose how and what they wished to see.
Today things have changed, and not for the better. Now visitors must walk prescribed ‘tour paths’, and the Museum takes it upon itself to impose the official narratives upon visitors at every step. The displays have more ‘Props’ and ‘mock ups’ than actual artifacts.
I wonder How many truly wonderful artifacts are stacked in dusty boxes out back… removed from display to make room for all the Politically correct fakery???
There is so much phoniness about the museum these days, and unwitting people are more likely to emerge indoctrinated rather than educated.
That is by design.
You feel less like you have had an encounter with the relics of history and more like you have attended a woke political workshop.
This is not ‘inclusive’, but exclusive and narrow minded.
For a lover of History it is nauseating, and I could not wait to get out of there.
