THE UNDERLYING REASON FOR TE PATI MAORI’S AGGRESSION

THE UNDERLYING REASON FOR TE PATI MAORI’S AGGRESSION

Since Anthropology emerged as a scientific discipline in the 19th Century the coined phrase Indigenous and Tribal Peoples have been a major focus. According to the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues there is reported to be 370 Million so called Indigenous people in 90 countries globally (Reported By the UN). Approx 70% live in Asia. There is reported to be 5,000 ethnic Cultures of Indigenous People

The Rights & Interests of so called Indigenous Peoples are recognized through various International Declarations Eg; 1989 Internation Labor Org., Convention (No 169) * 1992 UN Convention on Biological Diversity * 2007 UN Declaration On The Rights Of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) The UNDRIP covers Civil, * Political * Economic *Social * Cultural *Environmental Rights & Interests under International Law (Also Human Rights Laws)

The UNDRIP imposes Obligations , Commitments on UN Member States, Organizations & Inter-governmental bodies. Included is the International Work Group for Indigenous Affairs http://www.iwgia.org/culture-and-identity/ identification-of-indigenous-people)  Also a growing body of Human Rights Entities

The Diversity of Indigenous peoples was adopted by the UN System, where a modern understanding of this was utilized worldwide. The modern understanding of the coined phrase Indigenous Peoples met the following criteria by the UN as ‘Self-Identification ‘ *Historical continuity with Pre-colonial History and / or Pre-Settler Societies * Accepted by their Tribal Community  *Ancestral environment.  Indigenous Peoples were historically referred to as Tribal or Native Peoples

There is Official Universal definition of the coined phrase Indigenous Peoples in International Law. (UN). Although various UN Agencies and International NGOs- Corporations etc., with self interests also Central/Local Govts of UN Nations States have utilized the coined phrase Indigenous Peoples as to Regulations- Policies- Political and Monetary self -interests.

In the 1970’s the coined phrase was used as a way of linking experiences, issues, struggles of groups- ( De-Colonization). The first meeting of the UN Working Group of Indigenous Populations (WGP) took place 9/8/1982. Is now celebrated as the International Day of the Worlds Indigenous People. Again – No definition of Indigenous People was adopted by the UN Agency. The Secretariat of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous issues stated.

In the “concept of Indigenous Peoples the prevailing view today, is that there is No Formal Universal Definition on the term ‘Indigenous Peoples – given that a single definition will inevitably be with or with (over or under) inclusiveness- thus making sense in some societies but not in others”. However a number of UN Agencies have used the term Indigenous Peoples on Statements, coverages for certain International Agreements (But these are definitions used for particular reports)

Another example is that the Inter-American Commission On Human Rights doesn’t provide a definition of Indigenous Peoples, but have stated that ‘Self-identification’ as being a fundamental criteria’.  Manvir Singh an  Anthropologist states there’s a lack of coherence, inconsistencies  in which ethnic groups are called Indigenous or not. People argue the term. Have pressure put on them to self identify themselves as Indigenous People’. Thus erasing Identification. This varies from one country to another. Adding – There is no accepted Universal Definition of  the coined phrase Indigenous Peoples

The UN ILO International Labour Org., twice adopted definitions of Indigenous Peoples at their Conventions in 1957 & 1989. Only a few countries acknowledged it therefore could not be used in International Law. Only by the countries that adopted the definition. The World Bank  definition of Indigenous People is not Binding by International law as it is determined within Banks Operational Policies * Policy Guidelines. Documents and Agreements of ‘Good Faith’

UN Agenda 21 (1992) recognized the potential contribution in using the coined phrase Indigenous Peoples referring to Sustainable Development. The 2024 UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 16) UN Nation States agreed to a new permanent body for Indigenous Peoples. Which allows them to advise COP members on Biodiversity (An Indigenous worldview) on Sustainability.

From the UN 1993 World Conference on Human Rights- the  (UN Vienna Declaration ) was adopted- recognizing the culture of Indigenous Peoples. Described as a ‘Strong Commitment to – Economic *Social*Cultural Wellbeing. (The enjoyment of the Fruits of Sustainable Development)  9th August 1994 UN proclaimed as International Day of the Worlds Indigenous People (Their Rights & Interests) 1995 UN launched the Decade of the Worlds Indigenous Peoples. (UN Resolution 49/214) Furthering-Advancing the Global Agenda

The UN in 2021 referenced the UN Human Rights & Fundamental Freedoms of Indigenous Peoples. To be documented into International laws Namely ‘Under the Umbrella of Social Justice. Dystopia ‘ Some Animals have more rights than others.

Te Pati Maori’s strong connection to the UNDRIP (Universal Declaration on the Rights of Indifenous Peoples). First adopted on  13th September 2007  at the New York UN Assembly. It had taken 20 + years to draft. There was much debate and discussion during this time on the UNDRIP by the working group at the UN

. Te Pati Maori actively engage in the Principles of the UNDRIP (Seld Governance). With Te Tiriti o Waitangi committed to the UNDRIP. Several Kerero Constitutional Conventions held at Auckland University. Preplanning the embedding of the UNDRIP into NZs Constitutional Arrangements. The UNDRIP being a crucial tool for Iwi/Maori Self-Governance

Although NZ Rejected the UNDRIP in 2007 – John Key and Pita Sharples Deputy leader of the Maori Party made a deal. Under a veil of secrecy Pita Sharples attended the UN and adopted the UNDRIP for NZ. When John Key was asked by the secrecy his response was “I did not want to spoil Pita Sharples Thunder’. New Zealand’s have no say when it comes to the State adopting International Laws. NZ is a party to some 1900 International Agreements.

Although the UNDRIP is Non-Binding there is also a commitment, obligation to pursue it, implement it. Its not legally Legislative. Sit outside Hard Law  as a Soft Law, can be used– called upon- referenced by the Judicial. Unless it is embedded in NZ Domestic Laws its Non Binding. (But there are  serious implications when it comes to implementing the UNDRIP in NZ.

It all lies in the 2007 UNDRIP adoption in the New York UN Assembly where Rosemary Banks Representative of NZ shared with the assembly why NZ would not adopt it. Its extremely important to know why because this is the real reason for the Hikoi. For David Seymour being attacked. Spoiling Te Pati Maori and their activist collaborators thunder for their self interested preplanning for their future self  interests. (The reasons for the insame aggressive behavior in Parliament)

Lets get to the root of the course.. Firstly the UNDRIP adoption into legislation is crucial for the Self Governance of Iwi/Maori. UNDRIP is a crucial tool- a weapon of aggression… NZ * US * Canada * Australia did not ratify the Declaration at this time…Rosemary Banks was NZs Representative at the UN New York Assembly at the time.

She explained to the gathering why NZ would not sign the UNDRIP. (1) It gives Indigenous Peoples Control- ownership of Entire Lands of NZ (2) Did not take into account that people already legally-lawfully owned land (Had Property Rights)  (3)Redress- Compensation for Entire Lands of NZ (Ownership- Control of All NZs Natural Resources (4) Veto Rights Over Legislation  (5) Two Classes of Citizenship).

Winston Peters states NZ First will dump the UNDRIP (That’s not happened yet). David Seymour is skirting around the edges not talking about the UNDRIP. But targeting how Farmers are having to seek Cultural Rights on their lands by  Iwi Tribal Groups. And that Council.

Such as Auckland Council has an Iwi Advisory Independent Group where people , businesses, farmers have to seek their advice on Resource Management Consents. (Co-Governance – Veto Rights are already (still) being implemented. ACT PARTY now have a Petition online to Dump Te Mana Te Wai it appears regulations, rules are being made by those whom have Iwi/Maori ancestry

Race Based Politics. Critical Race Theory is rife in New Zealand right throughout the system. Education.. Politics.. Society..Environment.. Health. This is not a Healthy situation for NZ. If we remain quiet  about this then we enable it. We must speak up. Ignore being character assassinated as Racist. Don’t self censor and don’t be censored. This is Separatism- not unity- this is Apartheid

JUST ONE DEFINITION OF A WORD CAN CAUSE HUGE AMOUNTS OF ‘FLAWED DATA’

JUST ONE DEFINITION OF A WORD CAN CAUSE HUGE AMOUNTS OF ‘FLAWED DATA’

FLAWED DEFINITIONS RISK MAJORILY SEVERELY IMPACTING LIVES OF BILLIONS OF PEOPLE WORLDWIDE.  Researched By Carol Sakey. WAKE UP NZ. https://wakeupnz.org

The Hunger numbers, are we counting them right? Refers the Millennium Goals that had expired hence the introduction to UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals within this 169 Targets. https://www.the guardian.com  17/02/2015

UN and International NGO’s rallied around the conclusion that Agenda 21 had been very successful with its anti-poverty movement, they reported that poverty had been halved and one of the biggest goals of the MSGs of significantly decreasing poverty had  was only a little shy of the target they aimed to achieve. Powerful, compelling evidence eager to convince the world that the global economic system that they had introduced is the right track to be on and to continue down with their new UN Agenda 2030. To make this happen “We must do more of this”

The UN had reported the number of hungry people worldwide, that had been steadily increasing over the previous 2 decades not decreasing.  UN Nation Governments in 1996 took the World Security Pledge that they would cut the number of people suffering from hunger in half, there we reported to be at that time 780million hungry people worldwide according to UN Reports. 2009 according to UN Reports 1,023 million hungry people approx. 30% more. NOTE: This is not unfamiliar-The International Shifting of the Goal Posts.

The Millennium Declaration was signed in 2000. At that time the MDGs pushed the base rate back to 1990, allowing them to claim China’s progress during the previous decade, even though this had nothing to do with the MDG Campaign.

At the end of 2012 with only 3yrs to go to the expiry of the MDGs the UN Food Agriculture Org., (FAO) announced an approved methodology of counting hunger, they found it necessary after reports of increase hunger spread to change their reporting, so they revised the numbers.  They managed to transform a steadily increasing rising trend in hunger stricken people to a  decreasing number. As they retroactively estimated about food supplies and new assumption were introduced that focused on ‘Calories’

It had been reported that 2009-2010 showed a dramatic increase in the number of hungry people worldwide this being due to the food price crisis, and reckless financial speculation which sparked riots in much of the developing world.  It was reported that there was a jump in numbers of undernourished people in 2009-2010, their were many voices of concern that question FAO (UN) reliability of their estimation of hungry people globally. Hence a request was made to the FAO (UN) by the committee of the ‘World Food Security’ to organize a technical round table to discuss FAO measurements of under nourishment.

The FAO had come under fire for the decision change of the methodology they had used for 25 years in their longitude study, just 3 years before its conclusion, which was seen as bad scientific standards. Scholars raised questions about the definition of FAO’s ‘hunger’ claiming it gravely underestimates the scale of the problem..The FAO counting people as hungry only by ‘Calorie’ counting.

Measurements of ‘Calorie’ intake at rock bottom levels that is ‘inadequate’ to cover a sedentary persons lifestyle (1800 calories per day) Most poor people do not lead sedentary lifestyles they are usually engaged in demanding physical labour (India the average rickshaw driver uses 3,000-4000 calories per day) FAO recognized the flaw and responded “that ‘ideally’ undernourishment should be accessed at the individual level by comparing individual energy intakes however the approach is just not feasible when it comes to gathering data”  The Food Agriculture Org., (UN) do not stop there, its said no ‘methodology is perfect, well UN’ Methodology is far from perfect. It’s predictive, uses assumption, many variable models when it comes to data gathering.

The United Nations launched its UN Agenda 2030 17 SDGs included are 169 Targets- A one script for all People-Planet for much Profit for the Global Elite. It was headed the ‘Goal of Eradicating Hunger and Poverty Once and For All’, and it has no realistic measurements of hunger. It’s seriously flawed and corrupted with whopping lies.

2.Despite the fact we collectively produce enough food for everyone in the entire world even at 3000 calories per day. Yale Prof., Thomas Pogge puts it like this “Somebody, somewhere needs to say the poor have been dramatically portrayed, this is important because it comes to question whether our global economy is actually on the right track at all”

The UN tells us their solution is working, that’s a huge whopping lie.. it is not.  The FAO have revealed the link between growth and nutrition is weak, therefore we need to put productive resources back in the hands of the people, small farmers etc.,  We need to reverse land and water grabs (Small farms being grabbed by large investors)  We need to put the handbrakes on monopolization of land, seeds and supply chains by corporations like Monsanto and Syngenta.  The data is clear that small scale farmers do a better job and are better for the environment that these large greedy corporations (Research Resource Jackson Hickols, Anthropologist. London School of Economics)

It will take moral courage to challenge the Government, to challenge the transnational corporations (TNCs) that are massively appropriating our food systems throughout the world. As long as we obscure the truth we are less likely to notice the urgency to act is upon us.    27th September 2014 New York Times article entitled ‘Counting The Hungry’ It referenced the FAO (UN) methodology being flawed, wrong. Calculations made by ‘World Nutrition Journal.Org. The cooking of the books. The publishing of FAO’s calorie counting, the inaccurate figures.

https://www.wrm.or.uy  Article – Disputes  the FAO (UN) definition of ‘Forest’ as not being open and clear.  21/09/2016 Article ‘Silence In Response to Previous Demand for the FAO (UN) to change its flawed data as to FAO definition of ‘Forest’.  On International Day Of Forests’ 2017 another request was sent to the FAO (UN) to change its definition on the word ‘Forest’. September 2015 the World Forestry Congress was held in Durban, thousands of people packed the streets to protests against the FAO (UN) as they insisted that FAO change the definition of ‘Forest’.

 The FAO (UN) insisted on defining ‘Forest’ to be basically just a bunch of trees. Being a minimum  area of land covered by a minimum number of trees at a minimum height and a canopy percentage.  FAO promoting the establishment of million hectares of industrial plantations. A petition with a 1000 signatures was given to FAO who were hosting the World Forestry Congress gathering. But nothing changed.

The response from FAO as to its flawed definition of ‘Forest’- “There are over 200 national definitions of the word ‘Forest’, that reflect a variety of stakeholders in this matter. To facilitate the reporting data a globally valid, simple of categorization of forests is required” Tats it, and nothing changed.  FAO definition of ‘Forest’ did not influence the way 200 National definitions of ‘Forests’ was formulated at all. This definition was adopted by the UN FAO in 1948 and has remained ever since until this very day

The influence of the Food Agriculture Org., (UN) goes way beyond the definition of the word ‘Forest’. It is also utilized in the UN Climate Change Convention UNFCCC. By adopting FAO  definition of ‘Forest communities, farmers are extremely negatively affected.

UNFCCC has globally promoted a view of forests as an area of land containing only tree’s. As for the UNFCCC its mainly the tree’s, the forest that matters because of the capacity to store carbon as they grow, not forest dependent communities. Rural communities have been negatively impacted by the governments restrictions, the interests are not in the communities themselves but the ‘Offset Projects, referred to as REDD + Projects.

The flawed word ‘Forest’ introduced by the UN is a complexly false way of reducing deforestation, it’s a money making opportunity that threatens not just local communities but the whole of the country, nations worldwide. (Expanding the ‘Carbon Sink’ tree plantation). The attracting of climate finance, based on the presence of tree’s.  FAO definition of ‘Forest’ influences actions of the ‘financial and development’ institutions, promotes large industrial logging of forests, industrial tree plantations (REDD + Carbon Offsets).

The World Bank is part of the UN conglomerate that partners the FAO (UN) and has been for many decades, as to forest related initiatives. They join forces in the most ambitious plans launched during UN FCCC COP@! In Paris the “African Forest Landscape’. A restoration initiative aiming to cover 100 million hectares of deforested, degraded lands in the African continent with trees.

The World Bank jumped on the bandwagon making $1 billion available for the plan to proceed. The World Bank viewing ‘reforestation’ is crucial as to how the world itself defines a forest. (But does not disclose what FAO (UN) defines as a ‘forest’. The World Bank opened the door wide for tree plantation companies, corporations to enter communities throughout Africa.

The ambitious Restoration Plan promoted by the World Bank and FAO, that strongly resembled a previous plan they had both partnered ‘The Tropical Forestry Action Plan that totally failed.

NOTE: FAO DEFINITION OF ‘FOREST’ According to the FAO, Forest is defined as: “land spanning more than 0.5 hectares with trees higher than. 5 meters and a canopy cover of more than 10 percent, or trees able to reach these thresholds -2022.

The definition of the FAO (UN)  ‘Forest’ has extremely wide negative impacts on New Zealand because ‘Forests’ are related to land and water grabs world wide.Ardern’s so called emergency Zero Carbons is about

What will it take to change this ‘MORAL COURAGE”  – A NATION THAT WORKS TOGETHER ALSO STAYS TOGETHER AND THRIVES TOGETHER.

NZ GOVERNMENT’S STRATEGIC PLANNING WITH THE SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM

On July 22nd 2020 Jacinda Ardern gave a speech in the Beehive Wellington regarding the NZ Goventment’s diplomatic relations with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. THe NZ Government established diplomatic relationships the Socialist Republic of Vietnam back in 1975 and launched a ‘Comprehensive Partnership with them in  2009. In 2015 John Key also made a statement enhancing the Comphrehensive Partnership with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 2015. THe PM of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam has met with Andrew Little, Mallard, David Clark and Jerry Mateparae.  Jacinda Ardern also met up with PM of Socialist Vietnam in 2018

NZ Govt and Socialist Republic of Vietnam have a robust in depth  relationship within bilateral and multilateral frameworks. Arderns more recent communication with the PM of Socialist Republic of Vietnam was via virtual meeting. Ardern in her beehive speech spoke about building on the momentum, growing shared interests, a common outlook, mutual trust- aspiring to open a new chapter and taking the NZ Govt and  Socialist Republic partnership to a  much higher level

Ardern’s speech included that the NZ Govt agreed that they would consult and work closely together, wherever possible with Socialist Republic of Vietnam on key international issues such as multilateral trade initiatives, including cooperation on climate change.  Both Leaders agreed to encourage investment, including in areas such as high-tech agriculture, green and renewable energy and infrastructure.

Defence and security: The two sides acknowledged the recent positive developments in bilateral defence cooperation such as the signing of the New Zealand-Vietnam Three Year Defence Cooperation Action Plan 2018-2021 and the Peacekeeping Operations Training and Cooperation Implementing Arrangement, as well as high-level defence visits in both directions. The two leaders also welcomed further broader security and defence cooperation, including in military industries and research, cyber security.

On this occasion, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced two new projects, namely, a three-year partnership supporting Vietnamese farmers and food processors to modernise production, generate safer food and improve incomes (NZ$1.5million); and a pilot renewable energy project supporting the Electricity Regulatory Authority of Vietnam with the tools to develop the wholesale electricity market enabling greater efficiency and renewable energy uptake (NZ$0.5 million).

The Strategic Partnership is aimed at further strengthening the overarching framework for engagement and cooperation between Viet Nam and New Zealand, for the benefits of our people, contributing to peace, stability and prosperity in each country, the region and the world. To provide leadership and guidance to this strengthening relationship, New Zealand and Viet Nam commit to deepening bilateral political cooperation through frequent high-level exchanges between political parties, parliamentary and governmental delegations, particularly regular meetings between Prime Ministers, and annual meetings between Foreign Ministers, Trade Ministers and Defence Ministers, held in either of our countries, in the margins of multilateral meetings, or by video-conference.
Ardern stated in her speech in the Beehive that NZ Govt and the  Socialist Republic of Vietnam Prime Minister have agreed to promote investment in both directions and encourage inclusive growth, we will also foster cooperation in the development of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), indigenous or ethnic minorities businesses, women entrepreneurs and other important areas.

Also to commit to further enhancing bilateral agriculture cooperation, including through joint research, collaboration and action on climate change in agriculture and forestry, agri-tech, technical assistance on plant health laboratory accreditation, plant breeding, food safety management and electronic certification, trade in legal timber products, and commercialization of agriculture products. We welcome the commencement of a regular Agriculture Dialogue between officials.

Ardern stated -We welcome the positive impacts made by New Zealand’s sustained bilateral and regional official development assistance, particularly in areas of New Zealand’s strength and Viet Nam’s priority such as high-quality human resources development, climate change and economic resilience, sustainable water management, agriculture, and disaster risk management.
We reaffirm our commitment to closer defence cooperation as a priority in the Strategic Partnership, including through high-level defence visits, port calls, policy consultations, strategic dialogues, education and training, United Nations peacekeeping operations, intelligence exchanges, maritime security cooperation and enhanced coordination in the ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting-Plus forum.

NEW ZEALAND POLICE AND SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF VIETNAME ‘MINISTRY OF PUBLIC SECURITY:  Building upon the 2019 arrangement between the Ministry of Public Security of Viet Nam and the New Zealand Police, we agree to convene annual meetings between the leadership of the two agencies and explore the possibility of additional cooperation that provides a framework for preventing and combating crimes, thereby enhancing regional security and the well-being of our people. Through such joint efforts, we will make our respective communities safer.

The new Strategic Partnership is founded on a shared commitment to international law, multilateralism, and regional economic integration, and an understanding of our converging strategic interests. We emphasise the importance of maintaining close cooperation in multilateral and regional fora in both governmental and parliamentary channels.  We reaffirm our commitment to ASEAN Centrality and its role in the evolving regional architecture that is open, transparent, inclusive, and rules-based, built upon ASEAN-led mechanisms, and which safeguards the sovereignty and interests of all states, regardless of their size.

New Zealand re-emphasizes its strong support for Viet Nam’s roles as ASEAN Chair for 2020 and non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council for 2020-2021. We welcome the continued strengthening of the ASEAN – New Zealand Strategic Partnership and celebrate the 45th anniversary of the Dialogue Partnership and the 5th anniversary of the Strategic Partnership in 2020. Acknowledging that the prosperity and sustainable development of the Mekong sub-region is crucial to achieving the ASEAN Community Vision, New Zealand also commits to strengthening cooperation with Mekong countries in areas such as, disaster management, water-food-energy security, smart agriculture, public health and human resources development.

Ardern said in her Beehive speech that NZ Govt and the Socialist Republic of Vietname welcomed the recent  signings of the below Government to Government arrangements, which indicate the breadth of our mutual interests, the dynamism of the relationship and our concrete determination to continue to strengthen our partnership now and into the future and  the arrangement between the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Finance of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam with the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries on the Facilitation of Border Clearance of Agricultural, Forestry and Aquatic Products through the use of Electronic Certification; Also the following:-

Viet Nam New Zealand Strategic Engagement Plan on Education 2020-2023;

Memorandum of Arrangement on Financial Cooperation between the Ministry of Finance of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam and the New Zealand Treasury;

Arrangement between the Directorate of Vocational Education and Training, of the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs, of the Socialist Republic of Viet Nam, and New Zealand Government to Government know how relating to cooperation in vocational education and training and skills development.

The significance of information sharing and strengthening cooperation on a range of bilateral, regional, and international issues such as pandemics, climate change, e-government, human rights, science and technology, and countering terrorism and violent extremism. In that light, we welcome the commencement of a regular Oceans Dialogue between officials.

So, why should New Zealand Citizens be so concerned about this, be aware this information has not been made public to for the citizens of NZ .

Amnesty International reported repressive laws, intimidation and harassment, and much more. There are reports of torture and other ill-treatment of prisoners remained widespread. In March, Amnesty International revealed that political activist Nguyễn Văn Đức Độ, who was serving an 11-year prison sentence, had been kept in solitary confinement since May 2020 in inhumane conditions at Xuân Lộc prison in Đồng Nai province. His prolonged solitary confinement and ill-treatment by prison guards severely affected his mental health. (This is but one incidence of many)
