PTSD
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that’s triggered by a terrifying event — either experiencing it or witnessing it. Symptoms may include flashbacks, nightmares and severe anxiety, as well as uncontrollable thoughts about the event.

Spitting on Public Property

spitting

I’ve just been and had lunch in town (Rotorua). I was going to sit on the public seating outside the restaurant while waiting for my wife to arrive but the ground near the seating was absolutely covered in spit. Hundreds of hoiks. Disgusting.

I’m going to suggest to the Council that they fine people for spitting on public property (unless someone (a libertarian perhaps?) convinces me that it’s wrong to fine people for spitting on public property).

Managing this type of behaviour is justified by property ownership.

Screaming for Vengeance (Part 1)

[Being as how today is the 20th anniversary of the Bain murders … here’s an unfinished post I started writing last year. Now published as Part 1. Part 2 will be on the evolutionary psychology of blood feuds.]

DSC_0041

I’m irked. In particular, I’m irked by people on Facebook screaming for vengeance. Screaming for vengeance against David Bain, Ariel Castro, Kim Dotcom … to name a few. I don’t get irked easily. But my irk threshold is exceeded when the screams for vengeance drown out the calls for justice. This post is about vengeance and justice.

David Bain mostly got what he deserved. But then there was a travesty and no more justice was served. I figure Bain’s got a clear run between now and Judgement Day. (I also figure that now is a good time to post a pic of Bain cavorting with some silly bint on a beach in Rarotonga. What is it with women and murderous psychopaths?) Folks over at the Facebook group I belong to had better get used to this. Folks mostly have. And Justice For Robin Bain is something still worth fighting for.

Ariel Castro got sentenced to … plus 1000 years. Well, that was never going to happen, was it? Castro’s body rots as we speak. I figure it’s playing catch-up with his soul. (In the U.S., wishful thinking is thinking that a 1000 year sentence is a 1000 year sentence. In NZ, it’s thinking that life means life. Let’s not forget that one of the most important reasons for putting people in prison, if not the most important, is to keep the rest of us safe from psychos.)

Check out this Facebook comment.

Dotcom is a thieving liar who will soon be deported to USA for his piracy, and hopefully thrown in jail for 100 years. The only people that support him are people that think that stealing an artists life’s work is OK

100 years in jail for running a file sharing service? Takes screaming for vengeance to a new level. And then the rest of it. Personally, I don’t believe in IP. But my co-blogger Tim and Mark over at Life Behind the IRon Drape do. They’re staunch Dotcom supporters and I’m quite sure that they don’t “think that stealing an artists life’s work is OK.” Facebook. Where pap is always on tap.

I’ve never been the vengeful type. I came to libertarianism from the left, so I have liberal sentiments. For example, I’m more Howard League for Penal Reform than I am Sensible Sentencing Trust. Jesus made it abundantly clear that Christians are supposed to visit and look after those in prison. As opposed to simply locking them up and throwing away the key. (I have a Christian friend whose choice of penpals is inmates on death row. How awesome is that?!) And the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews reminds us

Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. (NIV)

God has always been the vengeful type. And he’s really big on justice. God is a just God. But, whereas God delegates the task of doing justice to us (well, to Reed mainly)

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (ESV)

he reserves for Himself the right to avenge. The key verse is found in the Old Testament and quoted twice in the New Testament. God says,

It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them (NIV)

So that’s the Biblical perspective on vengeance and justice. Justice is a Christian virtue. (And one of four cardinal virtues in Roman Catholicism.) Whereas revenge is an unchristian vice. Vengeance is justice without mercy. And you really don’t want to be on the receiving end of that, do you? So

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (KJV)

Revenge has temporal as well as eternal consequences. This is noted in the Book of Proverbs.

The merciful man doeth good to his own soul: but he that is cruel [unmerciful or vengeful] troubleth his own flesh. (KJV)

But the Bible doesn’t really do, er, justice to the full, horrible extent of revenge’s temporal toll on those consumed by its lusts. Ladies and gentlemen, please give a big round of applause to … (drum roll …) evolutionary psychology!

My speech for the 1Law4all party 2014 AGM. Tim Wikiriwhi. 17 June. Hamilton

Copy of me and Beaker 002
Me and My Maori Grandfather Autiti Wikiriwhi back in the late 80s

Below is the full script of a speech I wrote for the One law for All party AGM which was held tonite in Hamilton.
As usual I was still typing it out a few hours before I was due to speak.
That was when I realised I had got way too carried away for the 10-12 minutes I had been allocated, and so I had to substantially Edit it down, Yet I have decided to post the full script rather than relegate all the extra stuff to the dustbin.

I have inserted ***** at the beginning and end of the two sections which I did not deliver at the meeting.

Because I had little time to work on this, it is not as good as I would have liked it to be.

1law444all

Good evening Ladies and gentlemen,
As you already know, my name is Tim Wikiriwhi, and it is an honor to be invited to address your Party AGM.

I struggled to write my speech for you tonight, not only because I am doing long hours at work, but also because you are not my usual audience whom are most often unfamiliar with the common arguments against Waitangi separatism.

Over the past week, I have been stressing out, and only really started framing this speech last night, … thus I have had little time to polish it,or memorise any portions of it, and so I apologies in advance.

It’s a bit different.
My focus tonight is on moral truths and implications rather than historical facts and figures.
I focus largely on the here and now.
It is a personal perspective.

The last thing I wanted to do is to rabbit on about things that you are probably already well aware of.

I want to talk about some of my personal experiences, though tonight is not about me, not about promoting myself.
I simply wish to edify you with some of my personal insights.

I hope you will enjoy it.

I seek to encourage, and emboldened you all to act with fervor in achieving the noble cause of establishing Racial equality before the Law.
I hope to have added a few Arrows to your Quiver for the battle which lies ahead.
And I also hope to have laid out a few Challenging thoughts for you to Mull over.

Establishing One Law 4 all is a political Ideal I believe in very deeply,
and is a principle of justice which I am very passionate about.

While I am a fitting and turning engineer by trade, and work as a self employed Contract engineer, I am also both a Libertarian, and a Christian,
having studied history, philosophy, law and politics in my spare time.

And as a consequence of my private studies, I have been actively opposing treaty separatism for nearly 15 years.

I get my Maori ancestry from my Father, who is of both of Arawa and Ngapuhi decent.

Unfortunately he was very much like ‘Jake the Muss’, a violent alcoholic, whom abused my mother until she finally left him when I was about 4 years old.

My mother, my younger brother and sister, and I went and lived with our Pakeha Grandparents…. Which in it’s self was Providential in forming the person whom stands before you now, as these wonderful human beings came to have such a massive influence in my life.

I have not seen my Father since 1971.

He never bothered to fulfill any of his Duties, yet because this ugly business happened such a long time ago, I don’t hold any real animosity towards him.
He’s a stranger to me, yet I will make the point that there is no way that he can blame his Violence and alcoholism, and lack of contact with his children on Pakeha oppression!

I say that as an adult, he was fully responsible for his own behavior, which clearly demonstrated he possessed very skewed values, and a serious lack of personal ethics.

Maybe life was not easy for him… maybe my mother wasn’t perfect either, yet there is still no excuse for how he behaved.

Allan Duffs ‘Once were warriors’ truly is an Epic, which strikes a chord amongst many Maori people, who can relate to the truth of it.

There is indeed problems with booze and violence among a great many Maori people … yet if you really look at the message of Allan Duff… You see that he doesn’t blame this moral sickness on the Pakeha…. But on Maori men’s own lack of personal ethics and self-responsibility… and a sorry culture of violence which exists among Maori themselves.

I would like to suggest to you however that this lack of self responsibility to some degree may be also understood as an un-foreseen consequence of Nanny State social welfareism… which is a significant factor among Maori, as welfarism is not conducive to strengthening values about self-reliance and self-responsibility, but instead fosters a mindset of dependence and victimism,…. Blaming ‘others’…. Blaming ‘circumstances’ for not being able to support themselves, and for wallowing in drunken stupor.

I find it hard to see how More socialism… more dependence upon special government programs is supposed to cure this… though this is precisely what the Socialists prescribe.
If anything I say it must result in greater addiction, and heavier reliance on Government… not Self-empowerment in the true sense… not Liberty, and Self responsibility.

It breeds a political class that exists purely by political means.
And we see this happening not only via welfare dependence, but also with the vastly expanding Race based institutions of Government which are multiply under the Doctrines of ‘Treaty partnership’
This Social engineering has manufactured a massive vested interest in maintaining the doctrines of treaty separatism… and is frightening to contemplate.
The longer this process continues, the harder and more painful is the road back to true liberty and self reliance… out of government dependence and the re-establishment of equality before the law.
And the harder we can expect this growing vested interest to fight to maintain it’s political advantages.

Now while I pour scorn on the claims of ‘treaty injustice’ as being a legitimate excuse for Maori living at bottom of the social heap, I would never suggest that we live in a perfect society!

There is of course plenty of injustice…. Plenty of Evils in our society which need to be addressed, yet we must take care to correctly Identify them.
I would also suggest that most of the required remedial work rightly involves removing Bad rules and regulations, not adding more!

We need More Freedom, more self reliance, More voluntary community action… and less government.

tim 1lawfor all agm 012

With regards to Maori social statistics, I say New Zealanders have allowed themselves to be deceived via a mis-diagnosis of what really lies at the root of Maori poverty, crime and ill health.
Bad Medicine authored by the racist radical movement and their socialist allies … whom have a specific racist agenda to accrue Wealth and power.

When you think about it, It’s way too convenient to blame Maori Alcoholism and violence, etc on Pakeha for bringing booze with them on their ships, and blaming Maori lack of self-control as some sort of pitiful response to a greedy Pakeha scheme to suppress their culture, and dis-possess them of their lands.
Yet this is exactly what People like John Minto, and Tariana Turia have done.

It has been way too easy for such Ideas to be propagated by Political agitators who are taking full advantage of fatal faults within our democratic engines of State to their own devious advantage.

I am referring to our Apartheid electoral system and Race based seats in parliament , which allow Radical parliamentary hopefuls to vomit forth their lies and racism to bamboozle their captive section of society without having face the Democratic backlash of those outside their parishes…. whom they are maligning night and day.

It is imperative that these Racist seats which corrupt our democracy are abolished.

*************
The Separatist doctrines have been imbibed by the Mainstream political parties, and now are Official doctrine.

Socialists of both the left and the right expect New Zealanders to believe that Maori are not really responsible for their own actions…. Not responsible for their own poverty, but are the victims of a massive Race based political crime… which requires Political interventions to help them get back their feet.

I would like to point out to you that in reality
these doctrines have nothing to do with the Treaty of Waitangi.
This is pure Marxist anti-Western Imperialism in action.
The Treaty is merely a convenient tool by which to frame the Grievance industry.
Marx may be dead. The Soviet Union may have collapsed.
yet the Evil doctrines the invented to destroy western Capitalist civilization are alive and well and very popular in the Beehive.

What we a witnessing with regards to Treaty separatism is in fact a microcosm of Socialist democracy which is also going on in the Macro-scale Globally.

This whole treaty industry is typical Socialist Dogma.
It is a philosophy which relies upon dividing up society into various groups and treating them differently!
Creating special prohibitions against one section, and giving political favor and advantage to another!

Socialism functions by denying the principle of equality before the Law.
Socialists are forever making Laws which discriminate on the basis of Race, Sex, Age, Religion, etc etc, always growing the power and expense of running the government…. Forever increasing the burden upon the Tax-slaves backs.

It ought to be obvious that there is far more involved in achieving these goals that merely establishing Racial equality before the Law.
We need to thoroughly dismantle Nanny State.

envy

*************^^^^
Of Course Alcoholism and violence is not monopolized by Maori alone!
These problems are Global, and there are plenty of Pakeha who also behave in these irresponsible and criminal ways.
They certainly are not ‘the victims of ‘British imperialism and greed’, thus exposing the lie that Maori Criminals and alcoholics are somehow a specially oppressed minority.

The fact is that it my Fathers problems…. Like those of all violent Drunks of every colour is fundamentally a serious lack of Personal ethics!…. and not anything at all to do with all the so-called ‘Violations of the treaty Rubbish’.
While Countless Millions have been siphoned out of the pockets of Taxpayers and hand over to enrich an aristocracy of Fat cats and Racist liars… the social statistics for Maori continue to wallow…. Esp in the area of Crime and imprisonment

Most of the ‘benchmarks’ listed as indicators by social scientists are in reality matters of personal Ethics and responsibility… and not the proper business of politicians and government interventions.

On the other hand Bad over-bearing Political interventions do reek havoc upon the populations they are imposed upon… and so it is little wonder that so many Maori are in Jail for violent crimes against tourists, Pakeha, and other Non Maori peoples…. When they have been fed the propaganda that they should envision themselves as Warriors, who are also victims of a Foreign invasion.

This is how the Political lies of Treaty separatism has generated a very Real Race hatred which is growing within the Radicalized Maori community…. And it is a Cancer upon their souls.
The Social unrest Treaty separatism is very real, and the only hope of remedy is by overthrowing the lies, and the Evil politics which generates this Race hatred, and replacing it with more enlightened and self-empowering values and ideals.

*******************************
Of course I didn’t learn about the gigantic political scam that I call Waitangi apartheid through State education!

The socialists have used their virtual monopoly in Education to indoctrinate our youth with their racist propaganda.
They have been systematically brainwashing the youth of New Zealand… propagating a falsified History, and a diabolical race based political ideology for 40 years.
Thus today while older generations have witnessed this scandal taking place before their eyes, and can remember a time when New Zealanders were proud of their colonial heritage,
Sadly the Younger generations to a large extent, have been sold a completely distorted view.
They have been taught that Europeans Invaded New Zealand and Raped and pillaged the country out of sheer Greed.

The Real history of the Colonization of New Zealand is something very different.

One of the reasons that I am able to see what has happened is because I am Self-educated.
My Dear Deceased Pakeha Maternal Grandfather and my still living Grandmother were both teachers by trade, and they instilled in me a love of Books, and a love of learning.
I remember at 4th form Kelson Boys high school in the 1980’s, being forced to choose between Maori studies, and engineering… you could not do both, and my Maori Class teacher was keen for me to study Maori…. Both because I enjoyed the subject, and because of my blood, yet I chose to study engineering instead because I already had an Engineering apprentiship lined up…. I only needed to complete School certificate before I started.
When I think about that choice, I consider it a very near thing indeed!
Would I be standing here today had I decided to study ‘Maori’ instead of Engineering?
Or would I be speaking at The Internet Mana party AGM instead?
Ha ha ! 🙂
Chilling thought!

Such is the danger of giving Politicians such a powerful tool of social engineering (State schooling), and compulsory control over our children’s minds!
Via the education system, it has thoroughly contaminated the Media which instead of being a Vanguard for freedom, and a watchdog against Corrupt government activities, The so-called ‘Free press’ act as if they are on the Government pay roll.

It is because of the sheer scale with which the lies that underpin treaty separatism have been foistered upon the population, including that absolute repudiation of the principle of Equality before the law… the Socialist doctrine of ‘Indigenous rights’ which is an ‘Anti-British imperialism doctrine specifically invented with the purposeful intent of Dividing and conquering western nations for Marxism… that the task ahead for the 1law4all party is so challenging.
This truly is an ideological struggle.

Thankfully after Decades to Racism and extortion, a large percentage of New Zealanders have had enough!
There has been an awakening, and so a sizable number are questioning the injustice of being treated as second class citizens in their own country and why they are being expected to Pay for supposed ‘wrongs’ committed generations before they were even born, to people claiming to have been wronged… Generations before they were even born.

You can read about him >>>Here<<< ********************************** I am afraid that I am fast running out of time, and regret that there is so much more about these Issues I would love to discuss with you. Hopefully I will be invited to talk to you again. Yet I must quickly lay out a few final words. The truth, and the moral High ground are on your side and they are very powerful Allies! You are not racists, but are fighting a heavily entrenched and politically manufactured Racism. I wish to give you my Maori Blessing upon your cause… It is Just. It is Honorable…. And it is urgent. Not only to restore justice for Pakeha, and other Non-Maori Kiwis, but also for Maori themselves! I sincerely believe this. Equality, Freedom and justice are a boon for everyone. They are the essentials for a Free and civil society. I believe New Zealand desperately needs a written constitution which lays down the principles of Equality, Freedom, and Limited Government so as to protect the individual rights of everyone…. Irrespective of race… This is essential because it is in this way that we can assure Maori that they have nothing to fear from ending treaty separatism, and getting rid of the Racist electoral system. They can know that their equal rights and liberties are protected from mobocratic rule just like every other minority, and under Freedom and equality, they may pursue their own happiness, and revel in their own culture to their hearts desire… as long as they are prepared to accept the flipside of the coin of Justice which has liberty stamped on one side, and personal responsibility stamped on the other. And this alone is the way forward for Maori as individuals out of the social mire. If Maori are to prosper they must forsake the delusion that they are victims of some Grand crime… and throw off that Racist chip which has been foisted upon their shoulders by the Machiavellian Political charlatans in their midst. Maori need a new self image… not based upon Racial pride, but instead upon a self belief that they are Equals, and that they can, and ought to take care of themselves and prosper in Freedom. Maori need to learn the Glory and Blessings of living in a nation which has One Law for All. Thank you for listening. Tim Wikiriwhi

The conference went well. Credit where credit’s due and credit is due to Phil Saxby who put in a colossal effort organising the event. Thanks, Phil. Job well done. Also, thanks to Vinny Eastwood and Gary Chiles for setting up the live stream on YouTube.

It’s no secret that I’m at loggerheads with some of the peeps in NORML. There are right ways and wrong ways to go about implementing drug law reform. To hell with the Psychoactive Substances Act! Dissent to be continued …

Here’s the event in two parts, the morning session and the afternoon session, for those interested.

LEAP NZ’s Angus Fisk’s criticism of Dodgy Police decision not to prosecute John Banks, and other Public officials.

angussss

Angus Fisk…Retired NZ Policeman and member of LEAP NZ.

From A Fisk…
Sent this off yesterday………
The Editor
Otago Daily Times
I submit the following open letter to the Commissioner of Police for publication in your paper.
The Commissioner of Police,
Sir,
The incidence of the NZ Police taking upon itself not to prosecute certain cases on the basis that there is insufficient evidence to warrant charges being laid has come to light as an increasing and unwelcome phenomena.
Most recently we have the unedifying instance of the case against Mr John Banks for submitting a false election return in which your judgement of insufficient evidence has been proven to be flawed threefold; first by a member of the public laying a private prosecution, then by the Crown Prosecutor taking on the case and finally by a judgement of the Court finding Mr Banks guilty. Then today I read of Sir David’s finding of excessive force by a Constable who employed pepper spray, a baton and two ‘shots’ of a taser to subdue an offender. Again the police considered that there were insufficient grounds for prosecution. Media reports of other similar instances seem to crop up all too often.
The practise is not new – I also know of a case, now dated, against a former police Sergeant for forgery, perverting the course of justice and perjury (of which you will have intimate knowledge by virtue of your service as a Detective in the Far North in the 1980’s) being written off on the same grounds not-withstanding abundant evidence to the contrary – but is becoming too commonplace.
Surely, it should not be necessary for a former Police Sergeant to remind the Commissioner of Police that the Courts are the right and proper venue for judging such cases, not behind the closed doors of Police Headquarters since the latter raises the question of why such dubious decisions are being made within the higher eschelons of the Police. Is it mere professional incompetence, an inablity to grasp the facts of a case? One would hope not given the considerable experience of our most senior police officers and the legal advisory resources available to them. Or could there be some more sinister motive; favouritism, partiality, corruption even? I make no judgement here, I am merely reflecting the growing public disquiet on the subject I perceive about me.
The fact is it is not necessary for the police to have an absolute and watertight case before a prosecution is lodged. Reasonable grounds to suspect an offence are sufficient criteria. It is up to to Courts then to decide the worth of a case. I would argue there is no harm in police losing cases in Court since this merely demonstrates that they are doing their job properly – and not usurping the Courts role. How many cases are disposed of in this convenient manner? And what proportion relate to police misconduct/politically delicate matters? Do we need some sort of Judicial auditing to ensure our police are up to the job, perhaps?
Prevailing Police practise does little for the good name of the Police; indeed it contributes to a growing public cyniscm on the integrity of the Police. I urge you to either address this issue or to stand down for somebody that will.
Angus Fisk

bad good

Awesome Angus!
While I believe it is prudent to allow some police discretion with regards to minor issues,
Your remarks are particularly true when dealing with Public servants, politicians, police, etc because the faith of the people needs to be maintained.

The whole Banks/ Dotcom affair has been a laughable joke (I’m not talking about the Raid… that was serious Tyrannical Bullshit!).
It is fitting that a power tripper like Banks should finally reap some of the ‘love’ he has sown against so many peaceful peeps… (re The war on drugs).

A Political Spider got caught in a political web.

This Saga makes a mockery of the silly rules regarding election donation disclosure… as if a 25k anonymous bribe is ok… 50k… becomes a crime!
It also shows how politicians like Banksy ‘work the system’…. “Hey Dot… break it down into two donations…. and we fly under the radar….” 🙂

Angus is truly a Hero.
He has commented on a very serious corruption which infests the Police culture from the Top down.
Now we have a Police Chief who publicly hailed a corrupt policeman whom framed an innocent Man…. costing him his farm and sending him to Jail for 9 years!

Now how is it that this is the sort of guy we have at the top????
Surely *If anything* this attitude is a clear indication of his *Un-fitness* for the roll.

Read about that >>> Pressure grows on top cop to retract Hutton funeral eulogy

How many people have forgotten that the NZ Police also failed to Press charges against Helen Clark’s Labour Party regarding their 2005 ‘Pledge card’ election fraud and theft of nearly half a million dollars by which they were able to *Pervert the democratic process*… Defraud Don Brash of his opportunity to End Waitangi separatism… and Keep their filthy hands on power????
Then Libertarianz party leader Bernard Danton privately sued Helen Clark for Fraud, which case was only nullified by the Machiavellian Labour party writing retrospective legislation to prevent a guilty verdict.???

Read about that here>>>> Labour escapes charges on pledge card but case found

Helen Clark could become the next Secretary General of the United Nations!

Read about it>>> Former PM Helen Clark tipped for UN’s top job

The Police have lost their way.
They have become Political players…. Stooges and Gangsters… rather than servants of the rights and liberties of the public.

They are in dire need of reform.
This requires an entire Enlightenment Re: the philosophy of Law, and code of police conduct as servants of the people rights and liberties…. rather than Political enforcers… and lobbyists for their own power and vested interests.

‘Evolutionary Science’ is Oxymoron-ic.
This is proven time and time again.
When these whack mystics posit such a ridiculous arguments as to suggest that the Human face has been shaped by ‘hand to hand combat’… you know they are absolutely Clueless!
Yes Folks, these idiots would have you believe that you look like you do because your ancestors… for millions and millions of years have been punching each other in the face!

They would have you believe that fist fighting is an ‘evolutionary driver’… that it has effected our Genetics!
This is patently false.
It also shows how vacuous…. how absolutely lacking in Genetic reality… how thoroughly reliant on unscientific imagination the whole theory is.
This latest theory is no better than the previous…. equally imaginative… equally un-scientific hypothesis that…
” the transition in facial structure from apes to early hominins had previously been explained largely by the need to chew on nuts and other hard foods that needed crushing.”

Read about these laughable theories >>>here<<< and >>>Here<<< This is not science. This is grasping at straws. The Truth is Human beings *Did not* Evolve from Monkeys/ apes! Evolution *Cant* explain why Human beings exist. It's not Plausible... Its Delusional. Naturalism is Impotent. Materialism cant generate life from Dead matter and then trans-mutate it from Algae into humanity. And the more powerful scientific tools of investigation we Humans invent, continuously *increase* the implausibility of Atheist Naturalistic Materialism with every new insight and revelation. The only reason Atheists embrace such wild fantasies that constitute the theory of evolution is because they refuse to consider the only really plausible explanation in the light of Genetic Information.... That Living things prove there is a Grand Designer... a Super-mind... whom exists 'outside' the Physical Universe. Atheists allow their personal hatred of the Idea of 'God' to blind them to the obvious truth, and insodoing they cling to the most ridiculous of delusions about how monkeys can turn into people. And Science has now proven Materialism to be false and that the Super-natural realm *must exist*. The Universe *was born* out of this prior-existing eternal Transcendental reality... which is far more *fundamental* and primary than our temporal universe. Science is catching up with the Book of Genesis. " In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth." The Walls are closing in on Atheism… not Theism.

Green Party to decriminalise abortion

The Green Party will decriminalise abortion and assert the right of women to make decisions regarding their own health and the wellbeing of their family or whanau.

But will the Green Party assert the right of unborn women to make decisions regarding their own health? Check your born privilege!

Abortion is currently a crime under the Crimes Act. It is only legal if two consultants agree that the pregnancy would seriously harm the woman’s mental or physical health or that the fetus would have a serious disability.

So let’s get this straight. Abortion is already legal if “the fetus would have a serious disability.” That’s disability based discrimination, isn’t it?

“The Green Party trusts women to make decisions that are best for them and their whānau/family,” Green Party women’s spokesperson Jan Logie said.

“The Green Party believes the time has come for New Zealand to take an honest approach to abortion, to treat it as the health issue it is, and remove it from the crime statutes.

I think the time has come for the Green Party to take an honest approach to abortion, and acknowledge that abortion is killing an unborn child. Abortion is a form of infanticide.

“The fact that 99 percent of abortions are approved on ‘mental health’ grounds and that rape is not grounds for an abortion reveals the dishonesty of the current legal situation.

“By keeping abortion a crime, New Zealand has created an unnecessary stigma around abortion that has led to delays, erratic access to terminations depending on where you are in the country, and unnecessarily late terminations.

Perhaps there should be a stigma around killing babies. Nice to have?

“Decriminalisation will reduce the stigma and judgement that surrounds abortion, and enable abortions to be performed earlier in pregnancy, which is safer for women.

“The Green Party’s policy would allow terminations after 20 weeks gestation only when the woman would otherwise face serious permanent injury to her health or in the case of severe fetal abnormalities

“Our policy will ensure that women have access to neutral counselling, if they want it, and that women who choose to continue with their pregnancy are given more support and are not financially penalised for doing so.

“We would also ensure parents are fully informed about the support available for families and people living with disabilities and address discrimination against disabled people that exists in the current laws around abortion,” Ms Logie said.

I don’t see how the Green Party can “address discrimination against disabled people that exists in the current laws around abortion” by amending the abortion laws to make it legal to kill disabled people in the womb. But maybe my head’s just too muddled by smoking too much of the other thing the Greens want to decriminalise?

When is a disability not a disability? When it’s a severe fetal abnormality.

Green Party women’s spokesperson Jan Logie also posted this clarification on Facebook.

Some people have raised concerns that our policy might allow abortions post 20 weeks based on disability. This is not the intent of the policy. The Greens have a commitment to human rights and the acknowledgement of international obligations runs under all of our policies. The UN Committee with responsibility for the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) has already ruled that any distinction in abortion law on the grounds of fetal abnormality breaches the CRPD so our policy will not do that. The intent is to re to allow abortion after 20 weeks for a baby who has conditions so severe that they are extremely unlikely to survive post birth.

So the intent is to allow abortion after 20 weeks for a baby who has conditions so severe that they are extremely unlikely to survive post birth. But not if those severe conditions are fetal abnormalities. What other severe conditions are such that a baby is unlikely to survive post birth? Being sucked out of the womb with a vacuum cleaner?

Provisions later in the policy make it clear that we wish to extend protections against disability based discrimination.

We just read (above) that abortion is already legal if “the fetus would have a serious disability.” Is this the disability based discrimination the Greens want to protect against?

Also, if a baby has “conditions so severe that they are extremely unlikely to survive post birth,” why not just let nature take its course? That would be the Green thing to do, after all.

I’m not sure what disgusts me the most. Killing babies in the womb or the Green Party’s blatant contradictions, Orwellian newspeak and senseless rape of the English language.

Tracinski’s ratchet

LIB

The last time I stood as a candidate for the Libertarianz Party was in the 2008 general election. We gained 0.05% of the party vote. We needed to gain 5% of the party vote to reach the MMP threshold and get 6 libertarian MPs in Parliament.

We needed to be 100 times more popular with voters. But then what? What if we gained 5% of the vote and ended up with 6 libertarian MPs in Parliament? What would we actually do once we got in there?

To be honest, I didn’t give the question a great deal of thought at the time. But Peter Cresswell did. He advocated a principled rule of thumb which I’m going to call Tracinski’s ratchet.

Writing in the Intellectual Activist (July 1995), Robert Tracinski says

In judging a measure, one cannot hold it responsible for all aspects of a mixed economy – only for those aspects it changes. These changes can be evaluated by a straightforward application of the principle of individual rights: Does the reform remove some aspect of government control or does it add more control? … It is not a compromise to advocate reduced government control in one sphere even if controls in other spheres are left standing. It is a compromise, on the other hand, if one seeks to purchase increased freedom in one area at the price of increased control in another.

PC called this rule of thumb a ratchet for freedom. Or, more freedom with no new coercion. Or (as I remember it, anyway), new white, no new black.

It looks almost like a corollary of the Libz slogan More Freedom Less Government, doesn’t it?

Here’s what PC says in his post Transitions to freedom: Shall we kill them in their beds?

Start with what you find, and design the means to work step by step towards your goal, without ever purchasing increased freedom at the expensed of increased coercion. This is what is meant by the phrase ‘ratchet for freedom.’

A principled opposition — call them ‘Party X’ — would promote such policies. … The principle with each policy must be clear: More freedom with no new coercion.

PC then gives a couple of examples of policies that pass the test (including my own Transitional Drug Policy) but also some that fail. Here are a couple of the proposals that fail.

Flat Tax: Here’s another example of this same error. A “low flat tax” would reduce taxes for some, true, but this reduction would be purchased at the expense of increased sacrifice by those whose present tax rates are below the chosen flat rate. Far preferable is the Libertarianz transitional proposal (and Green policy) to offer a threshold below which no tax at all is paid, along with the slow and gradual increase in the level of this threshold.

School Vouchers: The idea of school vouchers is popular (not least with the purveyors of twilight golf and the owners of Wananga o Aoteaora). Vouchers do purchase wider choice, it’s true, but only at the expense of either bringing private schools even more under the Ministry’s boot (as a once relatively free early childhood sector now understands), or of throwing the taxpayer’s money away on bullshit. Best just to give the schools back and be done with it.

Two policies very popular with the libertarianish ACT Party. You can now see why Lindsay Perigo dubbed them the Association of Compulsion Touters. Not pure enough! Pragmatism over principles and how soon until we arrive at the bottom of the slippery slope?

The problem with Tracinski’s ratchet is that it doesn’t work. If Tracinski’s ratchet doesn’t allow us to move from an oppressive, progressive tax regime to a low, flat tax then what use is it, really? If Tracinski’s ratchet doesn’t allow us to move away from one-size-fits-all state factory farms of the mind to a school voucher system any time soon, then patience is a virtue.

Here’s a thought experiment to illustrate the general nature of the problem.

Suppose we were lucky enough that we already lived in a prosperous country with a low, flat tax rate. (The opposite of the actual case, but just suppose.) And suppose that the Libz got elected to Parliament and found themselves in opposition to a fiscally irresponsible socialist “tax and spend” government. Suppose that the government tables legislation—let’s indulge in some newspeak and call it the Fair Tax Act—that would replace the low, flat tax rate with an oppressive, progressive tax regime but with the sweetener of a tax-free income threshold of, say, $25,000. How would the Libz vote?

The new tax system means some new freedom. Low income earners will find themselves paying less tax. More of their own money staying in their own pockets. But the new tax system also means lots of new coercion. Middle to top income earners will find themselves paying a lot more tax. So, some new freedom but also some new coercion. The measure fails to pass the Tracinski’s ratchet test. Libz vote against it.

But the government passes the measure anyway. And, over the next Parliamentary term, the economy suffers. (Predictably enough.) All the economic indicators are bad. So bad that the main opposition party campaigns on the platform of repealing the Fair Tax Act. And wins the election! The Libz also sneak back in, too.

Now suppose that the new government tables legislation—let’s call it the Fair Tax Repeal Act—that would simply revert to the previous low, flat tax regime. Gone is the oppressive, progressive tax regime but so, too, is the tax-free income threshold. How would the Libz vote?

Reverting to the previous tax system means lots of new freedom. Middle to top income earners will find themselves paying less tax. More of their own money staying in their own pockets. But reverting to the previous tax system also means some new coercion. Low income earners will find themselves paying a lot more tax than they were before. So, some new freedom but also some new coercion. The repeal measure fails to pass the Tracinski’s ratchet test. Libz vote against it.

So there’s the problem right there. Nearly always, Tracinski’s ratchet means that bad legislation cannot be straightforwardly repealed. Unless it is really, really bad legislation. Bad through and through. Didn’t give anyone any new freedoms at the time, so repealing it isn’t going to take any new freedoms away, just restore old ones.

(PC does offer a partial defence of Tracinski’s ratchet, but I’ll get to discussing that in a future blog post. I’m not done with Tracinski’s ratchet yet! Spoiler. A partial defence isn’t good enough, and the whole concept of Tracinski’s ratchet is deeply flawed.)

The Psychoactive Substances Act is really, really bad legislation. Bad through and through. Pure evil, in fact. It meant plenty of new coercion (thousands of previously legal recreational drugs banned) and no new freedom. Some manufacturers and retailers were allowed to continue to sell products they were already legally selling, but only if they applied for and were granted interim product licences at $10k a pop. No new freedom, just more new coercion. And now the Act has been amended. All interim product licences have been revoked. Yet more new coercion.

So Tracinski’s ratchet would, at least, allow Libz MPs to vote to repeal the Psychoactive Substances Act. But only because it is thoroughly bad.

The Misuse of Drugs Act is thoroughly bad legislation, too.

Repeal the PSA! Repeal the MODA! End the War on Drugs™!

Oh, wait. That’s right. I almost forgot that over the past year I’ve changed tack and sailed off course and become an apologist for Socialist Statism. We can’t just repeal our draconian drug laws, damn it. Because that would be way too much freedom all at once. People might overdose and put pressure on the public health system and we can’t have that. Got to keep costs down and taxes up.

It is my personal view that we should legalise all drugs. But in an orderly, paternalistic, supervised fashion. Starting with cannabis. Let’s see how cannabis legalisation goes, and take it from there. If it were up to me, I’d rank all drugs in order of safety, and legalise them in that order, over an extended period of time. That’s my policy. Obviously, most of the recently banned synthetic cannabinoids would be some way down the list …

Give me Liberty, or give me Death!
