Nicola Willis MP will speak in the nice Waikanae Baptist Church Hall in Te Moana Road on Wednesday 14 June at 3 pm. Get the views on the malaise that the country is in that the government-bribed Legacy Media ignore.

Russian pianist Gamazda (see earlier) does a piano cover of ‘Wind of Change’ by the Scorpions. The original song came out in September 1989 as the Soviet Empire was about to crumble with the fall of the Berlin Wall. Maybe the same will happen with the American Empire because of Biden?

A message from the Council:

We’ve made the tough call to close the Whiteacre Memorial track at Waikanae Cemetery [lower centre on the map] following significant flood damage and persistent ponding due to high groundwater levels.

The ground is too wet to reinstate a path, or even get the machinery in that we would need to use to undertake the work. A large number of trees have also died after becoming waterlogged and are now a safety risk.

Flooding from raised groundwater (sometimes called groundwater inundation) is having a significant impact on private property throughout the district, and on Council’s land, infrastructure, and work programmes.

These are two signs at different Gisborne beach entrances. Both are warning signs: one in English and one in Te Reo. These signs are not next to each other and depending on which entrance is used you get different signs. 

Which works better as a sign communicating the danger that the logs create?

Which language effectively communicates the required message?

How many people would understand both signs?

If we have a sign with the view of communicating a message it needs to be as clear as possible at communicating to whoever reads it. Therefore if one language is to be used it should be the language that communicates most effectively.

If we have Te Reo and English they need to be together.

And given English is the language that is understood by almost everybody, English words should appear first.

There is a problem with the Maori translation too:

Does it say: “DANGER: DO NOT PLAY ON THE LOGS!”?

I have translated online as follows:

BE CAREFUL

WATCH OUT

The sea is still unclean and the beach by the logs

There’s a problem with slowly, and do not come near the palms [logs] in the sea.

It does not simply say: DANGER! DO NOT PLAY ON THE LOGS.

I am horrified at this craziness.

If anyone suggests I used the wrong translation app then it just highlights that Te Reo should definitely not be used as there are so many differing word translations for just one word and so adds to ambiguity.

Translation Information:

Kia Tupato: be careful, or prudent, prudish, be indifferent, be careless, beware, be puzzled…  https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the-meaning-of/maori-word-0f37041a12e62c69dad121f4dd8f1f0a902b4f60.html

Me Mataara: Watch out

e pokea tonutia te moana: The sea is still unclean

me te takutai e nga poro rakau: and the beach by the logs

OR if you type the whole sentence:

e pokea tonutia te moana me te takutai e nga poro rakau

English Translation: The sea and the coast are tightly.

kei aitua me ata haere” English Translation:  There is a problem with slowly; me kaua hoki e whakatata atu ki nga poro rakau ki ro moana” English Translation: and do not come near the palms in the sea

Things aren’t looking good for Joe and his Party. Which country holds most US debt? China. There is a little lesson from history here: in 1312, Pope Clement V liquidated the order of the Knights Templar under pressure from King Philip IV of France, many believe, because the Knights Templar held most of the King’s debt. The same reason why Joe & Company want war with China? Hmm.

Even the government of Jacindaland hasn’t done this, yet.

Moscow was under attack by drones early this morning, showing that Ukraine is now attacking the Russian capital with the help of NATO. Even though President Joe Biden promised that this would not happen just over a week ago [can anyone trust what Biden says? —Eds]. 

The Russian Defense Ministry said that the raid involved eight drones and that all eight were “neutralized.” The mayor of Moscow said that there was some minor damage, but no one was hurt. 

Last week, President Zelensky claimed that Russia struck a hospital early Friday, killing one person and injuring at least 15 others in the city of Dnipro. We mistakenly wrote that Dnpiro was under Russian control. We apologize; that was a mistake. It is still solidly within Ukrainian borders. However, CNN later admitted that the attack came from an S-300 missile. This is the same that Ukraine fired into Poland last year. A Ukrainian blogger who investigated the attack admitted that it was most likely “our own S-300 missile, which… ended up in the hospital.” 

The Chief of the General Staff of the Czech Armed Forces said this week that a war between Russia and NATO is the worst-case scenario, “but it is not impossible.”

Well over 100 people were there to listen to campaign leader Julian Batchelor, but probably another 50 were there to disrupt the presentation who made it a very noisy meeting last night at the Lindale complex. Plenty of Police kept order and they ejected up to 20 people who interrupted, shouted, chanted, ‘whoop-whooped’, ran phone ringtones and were generally rude and disruptive. A few held banners, including their message “Honor Te Tiriti”.

Julian Bachelor did very well with an excellent Powerpoint and he pointed out that co-governance is well underway in health, education, water resources, local government and conservation, and unless stopped in its tracks will lead to a Maori elites + fellow travelers’ takeover of the country. He carefully analysed what the one valid Treaty actually said and how people like Hugh Kawharu have twisted the meaning of key words like taonga and rangatiratanga.

His message was very thorough and convincing, and well received by the vast majority. He handled the disruptive protestors very well. Unfortunately, because of the regular interruptions it was a very stop/start meeting, however his compelling talk was polished and impressive.

New Zealand has been split in two by this government’s ‘Co-Governance’ policy of division, with government by two different peoples which espouses racial separation while refusing sovereignty, equality, and democracy to all of us.  The inevitable consequence was very evident at this meeting – two peoples at war with one another.

Those activists supporting ‘Co-governance’ from a group strangely called ‘Christian Action Aotearoa’ behaved like ill-mannered brats in an unsuccessful attempt to disrupt with shouts and howls, loud proclamations, chants and frequent ringing of cellphones.  Each interrupter who snuck in past the organisers was approached by an organiser and then firmly ushered out by Police.  Their main impact was to delay the talk and prevent adequate time for questions and public input after the presentation by Julian Batchelor.

The Police, 23 in all with at least 8 Police cars, were excellent, and were welcomed and thanked by those attending for their protection of freedom of speech.  This is a very welcome development as Police elsewhere have been few in number and not prepared to take effective action, but here were providing essential support for the security provided by a group of volunteers. 

It is sad that those wanting to debate major issues are faced with attacks by mob action who closed the previous meeting in Levin.  This meeting could only proceed with a road block in the drive up to the hall to keep a mass of demonstrators away, with robust volunteer organisers and with such a Police presence.  The Police have an important job to do, and it is shameful that so many were called away to control a Leftist group formed to prevent free speech.  This in a country that was once one people but no longer.

Many people have received the booklet by Julian Batchelor, ‘Stop Co-Governance’, and more will be delivered to households in the coming weeks.  There will also be a further meeting in the same venue in a month or so.  The people of Kapiti will thus be able to consider and discuss the basic facts.  And hopefully many will read further, to explore further information and to be ready to debate the future of New Zealand politely, with respect for the truth and for different points of view.

The organisers’ blog post. The comments by Greg On Gate Security are worth reading.
