These are NZs enemies of the state? Naked peace activists? Really?

‘We have no intention of paying a cent’ – Waihopai protestors
One of the protesters who sabotaged a radar dome at the Waihopai spy base says he has no intention of paying a cent to the Government spy agency if his appeal against damages fails.

The Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) is seeking to recover more than $1.2 million in damages from Dominican friar Peter Murnane, teacher Adrian Leason and farmer Sam Land.

The trio cut through alarmed electric fences and slashed one of the two inflatable domes which cover the satellite dishes at the Waihopai spy base near Blenheim in April 2008.

They were charged with burglary and wilful damage, but a jury found them not guilty in 2010 after their lawyers relied on the “right of claim” defence – arguing that they were saving lives in Iraq by disrupting the spy base’s transmissions.

Attorney-General Chris Finlayson, acting on behalf of the GCSB, then sought the right to pursue $1,229,289 in damages.

So, these are NZs enemies of the State huh? The protestors who attacked the Waihopai Spy Base stripped the clothes of their own backs in a symbolic protest at the beginning of their trial…

…not particularly terrifying are they? I expected more tentacles and fangs.

This Government must grapple with civil disobedience and how to minimize it. They have a fixed agenda to benefit the wealthy with dollops of corporate welfare on the side while the poor get a thinner and thinner slice of the cake.

National know their green lighting for more mineral exploration in a country with such a nattachment to the land will get messy and attacks against mining or the security apparatus the Government need to spy on those protestors will be met with total over kill.

Take the recent criminalizing of protest at sea and this inane attempt to gain over a million for damages against a spy base that was aiding the illegal war in Iraq while spying on NZers.

The Government must make examples of people of political conscience because they intend to push for corporate interests over citizens interests and as more people become incensed at that direction by National, the more civil disobedience.

These activists are no threat to anyone and to use the full force of the state to punish them shows how frightened the Government are of its people.

  1. Governments all over the world are under threat from the citizens who had enough. Personal freedoms are ‘personal’ so if you touch these freedoms, individuals will rebel. It has now come to a stage where those ‘individuals’ become groups, still small and incapable to make a change. But the tide keeps growing , like the so called Global Warming, it cannot be stopped. The poisoning of people through vaccines,through fluoridation of the water supply, through Chem trials, through Genetic Modification and through the poisoning of the whole environment will have ramifications, not only for the inhabitants of the Earth, it will be catastrophic for the whole of the Universe. ‘Planet Earth’ is part of an evolution of consciousness which will affect not only humans, but also higher and lower beings that populate the whole of this Universe.
    The ‘small ripple’ that these three men caused will have an effect, not in the materialistic sense, but more so in peoples thinking and awareness. Science has now become obsolete as it is lacking the morality that we as human beings are here for to develop. Some of that morality is now starting to shine through in these actions, though clumsy and child like, it is a start !

    • Somehow Adrian, a mere thumbs up doesn’t do it justice, so I would like to also voice my liking of your words in a more direct and personal manner – LIKE!

      And may the collective awakening of humanity continue to gain pace and presence!

      Back to the blog – I don’t think that government fear of its people tells the whole story. I detect an awful lot of contempt for the citizenry in there as well.

    • You keep staring at the sky for your bloody chemtrails. When you write “so-called global warming” and “Chem trials”, you are part of the problem. Bugger off to the part of the universe where your higher beings live. The rest of us will try to solve the problems here, perhaps even with our immoral science.

  2. The image above looks rather biblical, after all their crime was a kind of 21st century “cleansing of the Temple”.

    $1.2 Million in damages? Nothing a bit of duct tape could fix surely? My only gripe with the protestors is they never rendered the facility inoperable. Then again those dishes could be useful for broadcasting some decent TV? Or perhaps radio astronomy?

    Demanding the protestors pay such a ridiculous hefty amount is a sign that any protest action disruptive to “the economic wellbeing” of the nation is punishable with a life sentence of permanent financial ruin. Although that’s the reality of many today.

    • It looks biblical because it is! They are depicting Luke 6:29

      “If someone demands your coat, offer your shirt also” where “coat” is a metaphor for the demanded $1,229,289 in damages.

  3. When is this government going to stop pissing in Uncle Sam’s pockets ?
    Hmmm! Long enough to drown the rotten sod could be an irony and a welcome outcome.
    No, we are now the satraps, another puppet state of the ‘evil one’ !
    So what is in it for us ? Sweet bugger all if one remembers being chucked out of ANZUS for going anti-nuclear, ship bans if nuclear powered or armed. Wasn’t it a US diplomat who called us, ‘a country not worth bothering about’ in the Wikileaks.
    Suckers for punishment and insults it would seem.
    So what is Key’s endgame in this idolatry of US ? A plum job on the world stage when he is eventually (soon, I hope) dumped ? That tripping around the world with Grosser on the cocktail circuit may not pan out. It didn’t work for Grosser. Watch it Key, we are onto you 🙂

  4. Same all over the World- the people/ majority v’s the neo Nazi Corporate/ Crown/ NWO State. The real ‘funny’ bit will be when Kiwis rush out and vote for Shearer or Russell at the next election- and nothing will change. They are all Freemason/ Crown agents and NZ will continue to be under neo nazi/ CIA/ Crown/ Corporate rule until we all grow up and boycott the Beehive system altogether. The Beehive itself is a Freemason/ Crown/ Satanic symbol itself- how Kiwis have missed that fact is beyond me. The Illusion of Democracy – wake up.
