It’s an administrative violation, not a crime
I was contemplating reading a white paper on Drug Decriminalization in Portugal: Lessons for Creating Fair and Successful Drug Policies by Glenn Greenwald of the Cato Institute.
On July 1, 2001, a nationwide law in Portugal took effect that decriminalized all drugs, including cocaine and heroin. Under the new legal framework, all drugs were “decriminalized,” not “legalized.” Thus, drug possession for personal use and drug usage itself are still legally prohibited, but violations of those prohibitions are deemed to be exclusively administrative violations and are removed completely from the criminal realm. Drug trafficking continues to be prosecuted as a criminal offense.
Perhaps the Green Party could learn some Lessons for Creating Fair and Successful Drug Policies. Because, let’s face it. Their drug policies so far have been neither fair nor successful.
Machine Gun Preacher.
A man known internationally as the “Machine Gun Preacher” said Friday that federal agents interrupted his charity work in Africa when they raided his Pennsylvania home, business and warehouse Wednesday.
“They went into a container that was packed and ready to come to the orphanage and totally destroyed it,” Sam Childers, currently in Africa, told WJAC-TV over the phone. “I mean, destroyed it, and what’s so sad is that it was all children’s clothes.”
According to WJAC-TV, the FBI said they couldn’t elaborate on why they conducted the raid or comment on a pending investigation.

Could you be a non person?
Abortion is legal becuase a fetus is a non person.
Men who use prostitutes are making these women objects, and therefore non persons.
You dispose of a relationship because your partner no longer satisfys you, your partner becomes a non person.
You befriend someone, but only becuase you want something from him/her. This is a non person.
You don’t understand the concept of two way relationship. Everyone you know is a non person.
You pray for a miracle, but you forget to invite God over for beer and pizza with your mates. God is a non person.
We exist as a collective society, but not as individuals. We are all non persons.
The Gospel of God’s Grace.
The Gospel is that the Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose from the dead showing his victory over sin and death and guaranteeing our salvation and justification before God.
Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord *Shall* be saved.
For by grace are ye saved, through faith… it is the gift of God.
Not of works lest any man should boast.
For God commendeth his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ.
You cannot *add* or take away anything from this…. God’s ordained prescription for salvation in this age.
You cannot deny Christ’s Sacrifice and resurrection and be saved.
You cant say “I’m a good person.. I dont deserve to go to hell”…. for there is none Righteous no not one, For all have sinned and come short of the Glory of God.
If you deny that it was necessary for Christ to shed his blood for you…. you reject the gift of God.
You cannot *Add* to the finished work of Christ as preached to us by the Apostle of the Gospel of Grace St Paul.
False preachers of the Law say that a person must keep the Law to be saved…. ie they add *works* as necessary for salvation.
They prove they dont understand the Gospel of grace at all!
They fail to ‘Rightly divide’ the word of truth and so twist the scriptures to say what they want…. by mis-applying the old testament, the Kingdom preaching of Christ, St Peter, St James, etc…. and corrupt the Gospel of grace into Slavery under the Mosaic Law.
They add things like baptism, like keeping the Sabbath etc as necessary for salvation.
These ‘additions tend to enslave those whom they deceive into obeying *The Church hierarchy*….. ensnare them in tithing etc.
This is to deny the Liberating Power of the Cross, which sets us free from the Law.
If all this seems confusing….. Satan Laughs and spreads his wings…. He created this confusion to keep you from the Simple truth.
That Christ has paid the penalty of our sins and that if we simply ask God to save us in Christ’s name…. we will be saved indeed… no ifs…. no But’s….
Christ came to save us Sinners.
No matter who you are or how evil you have been, or what your personal struggles and vices are.…. Christ s Blood can save you!
Rejoice in the Love and GRACE of God our Heavenly Father.

The Treaty of Waitangi – A contract between two masters
The more I think about the Treaty of Waitangi the more morally wrong and irrelevant it seems.
Consider Artical 3 of the Treaty:
Artical 3
For this agreed arrangement therefore concerning the government of the Queen, the Queen of England will protect all the ordinary people of New Zealand and will give them the same rights and duties of citizenship as the people of England.
Compare this with the US Declaration of Independence:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
The Treaty presumes all men are subjects – Maori presumed to be subjects of Maori Chiefs – and everyone became subjects of the Crown at the signing of the Treaty whereas the Declaration of Independence states that all men are equal.
Also the Treaty presumes that the Crown and Maori Chiefs have the authority to grant rights and assign duties to individuals whereas the Declaration of Independence states that men’s rights are “unalienable”.
By claiming to assign rights and duties the Crown shows that it presumes to be master over subjects. And, if the US Declaration of Independence is correct, by assigning rights and duties the Crown puts itself above God.
Open letter to Act’s new leader Jamie Whyte … Stop being National’s Lapp-dog.
Act’s New Leader Jamie Whyte.
Hi Jamie,
Congrats on your appointment as leader of Act.
I am a Libertarian, and I must confess that the Act Party has been nothing but years of disappointment after disappointment to the degree that I now have a loathing for the very name.
Will you change my opinion?
Will you win my support?
I would hope that you will make a condition of an coalition deal with National, that they break ties with the Maori Party and agree to remove all race based laws and institutions from our government and enshrine the principle of racial equality before the Law.
Getting into bed with the Nat/ Maori party coalition made a mockery of Rodney Hide.
I also think Act has trapped it’self in Epsom.
to win that seat you must sell out too many of your principles and pretend that you are ‘light blue conservatives’…. center right…. like National and this watery stance defeats you from where you ought to focus…. on getting past the 5% ….. by following *Core act principles*…. Racial equality before the Law…. and the decriminalisation of Cannabis…. more freedom less government.
These two policies are very popular and will push you past the 5% mark …. if you have the balls to follow through on them…. not like Don Brash who cowered before John Banks…. who should never have been recruited into Act’s ranks.
You must be well aware of the great reforms sweeping America in respect to legalisation of cannabis, and in regards to it’s harmlessness and medicinal value.
This is a real opportunity to tower over National and Labour.
A Balzy Act could become King maker!
Liberty lovers are waiting in droves for *a real Liberal* to stand up and confront the Socialists of the left/ right/ and center.

Ps. I saw you on Paul Henery the other night and am concerned that you say you dont like the term ‘Libertarian’ and prefer the term ‘liberal’.
I assume you seek to distance yourself from ‘the tin foil hat’ that popular stereotype of a libertarian, yet I would have thought that would be much more palatable than being mistaken for a Commy lefty…. which is what ‘Liberal’ has come to mean.
It scares me that this is a sign of yet another political compromiser under the delusion that Compromise is the way to get into power…. yet all Acts arse kissing in the past has meant they have achieved nothing whatsoever while in parliament…. and they have slowly lost all their support.
Do something amazing!
Show some balls!
Sack all the compromisers who infest your exec.
Go back and re-recruit all the *Real battlers* who have deserted Act because of the lame-o expedience mongers refusal to draw lines in the sand.
Admit the mistakes that Hide, and Brash made.
Apologize to NZ for acts slide into being Nationals bitch.
Tell the people *principles Matter* Justice is not for sale, and you will fly past the 5% mark.
*This is the sort of Party New Zealand desperately needs*…. there is a gaping hole waiting to be filled.
Regards,

The Great Waitangi Debate. 2010
My (Tim Wikiriwhi) contribution to this televised debate starts (below) at part 4….
Not only is the Treaty separatist movement deceitful and immoral.. a giant scam, it is also the chief reason Maori have such horrible social statistics because it poisons the soul and teaches them to blame others for their own choices and misery.
Today we have Mongrel Mob Murderers appealing their sentences ‘on the basis that they are Maori’…. this is supposed to define them *as helpless victims of greater injustices*.
And this has become the Official line…. This is what they are teaching your kiddies at school.
What is their solution?
To Teach Boy’s they are ‘Warriors’…. that ‘the system’ is some foreign invaders tyranny…. that life was wonderful here before the white man turned up. etc as if that’s really going to help them in their relationships…. and help them to succeed in society!
It teaches them to deny 1/2 of their owe heritage!…. because they are all part- Pakeha too!
As a Maori among Maori, it has been a lonely, thankless and even dangerous path for me to speak out these truths for the sake of opening the Eyes of the Maori people that they have been deceived by the Racist radicals in their midst who are teaching them to become horrible Racist Haters.
When the truth challenges Political Advantage and calls for an end to the blame game, and for Self-responsibly instead …. it is a remedy that is not received with gratitude.
Maori have identified themselves with the disease… and it frightens them to abandon such a world view…. yet it is my sincere belief that it is the average Maori individual who has the most to gain from ending Waitangi apartheid and establishing racial equality before the Law.
Under Equality Maori can and will prosper and will be free to revel in their own culture… no longer political footballs….. this is my dream.

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy
The maxim is commonly but incorrectly attributed to Benjamin Franklin.
It is correctly attributed to new Eternal Vigilance blogger Adam Wilson. Welcome, Adam!

(Here’s what Franklin actually said
We hear of the conversion of water into wine at the marriage in Cana as of a miracle. But this conversion is, through the goodness of God, made every day before our eyes. Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards; there it enters the roots of the vines, to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy.
in a letter to Abbé Morellet, 1779. Ben was more of a wine guy.)
