POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RUN AMOK . . . HYPOCRITICAL EVIL FROM HELL, imho.

CONGRATS ON QUITE A FAMILY HISTORY.

SO, I gather you still have family there?

Yes the orgiginal carvings were no hurting anyone...

They were just the passenger lists on the ships..

the Sir George Seymour, the Charlotte Jane, the Randolph and the Cressy (ours)

They were a point of interest and a tourist attraction and in a place of prominence..

now there is nothing to show that Europeans ever had anything to do with the founding of Christchurch or Canterbury...

Christchurch has a weird PC feel to it..

Even the Christmas parade in 2008 was called a Santa Parade and had only 2 Christian groups who sang Christmas carols..

the rest had strange music and songs that had nothing to do with the birth of the King...

The parade had more of an appearance of a UN summit than a celebration of the Babe in Bethelhem...

and yes our parents are dead but my brother and sister have children and grandchildren..

I hope to go for Christmas next year..

My ancestors were also the first settlers in NYC, (the Dutch ship the Niew Netherlandt)

and the first to Canada..(When it was Canada, 1784) They were women and children Loyalists who fled there about Nov 1776..

my blood lines got around..

Interesting. Impressive.

I’ve read somewhere along in my puzzle piece collecting . . . that NZ has been engineered/designated by the GLOBALISTS:

These traitorous blokes:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/2519352/posts?page=2#2

As a NWO playground/retreat center/ some such. You ever heard of anything like that?

New Zealanders dont tend to have much patriotic fight in them...

It seems to have been weened out of them..

NZ was out of the mainstream of life for so long..

When I went there in 1978 it weas about 20 years behind times and ignorant of what was going on in the world...

Although they people still had individual opinions...

Contrast 2000 when I was there for the 150th doings...

We were all on the wharf in Lyttleton and the Prime Minister Helen Potter was addressing us about our illustrious ancestors..

We were towards the front and I could see that helen was nervous and reading from a carefully prepared script..

She said something and I commented..(as an American feels free to do)

My sister shushed me and told me that I couldnt give my opinions in public..

Since it was just a mild critism and not one advocating anachy, I was stunned..later my other sister agreed with her...I had done wrong..

BTW In Dec 2000 many people in NZ were pulling for Algore to win...including members of my own family..they couldnt tell me why ...and the question stumped them...

If you look up the Green Peace group and what they got up to in the beginning ...one of the things they did was go out to NZ and protest our US nuclear ships ...they didnt want them to dock in the NZ harbours...

If I remember rightly...the GP won...

Its unfortunate that NZ has gone with the flow and almost tossed out their English heritage...

To talk to a New Zealander now is to talk to a stranger...

I made a point of speaking to as many as I could in 2008...

Whereas once there would have been a point of identification as students of NZ history and culture, many of them were now indoctrinated with CNN and a liberal slant of their own country and the rest of the world...

Several were surprised to learn that I did not agree with our newly elected “president”

TN - Intersting take on my country and it’s people (I’ve been UK based for 11 years now but was back in late 2009 to see family). The real turning point in my mind was the arrival of the Lange Govt in 1984 with his cadre of hard core Vietnam War protesting, Green Peace loving hippies of which Helen Clark was a leading memeber. Labour made no secret that they would refuse to accept USN ship visits and they lied to Schultz and Reagan about what they were going to do. I joined the NZ MoD in 1986 and spent the next 13 years observing first hand the shocking damage Lange and co’s handiwork did to our defence force and relationships with our ANZUS partners. Militarily we have never recovered and never will.

Add to that the even more crazy decision to place a legal interpretation and status on the Treaty of Waitangi and volia you have a recipe for racial division and acrimony which now boils just below the surface. New Zealand is appallingly PC and as I was leaving the MoD in 1999 we were being forced and threatened to take cultural awareness courses. That was a final straw. I don’t disagree with your observations about Liberal tendencies and bias fed by junk news & entertainment sources. Indoctrination is nearly complete care of the education system with kids including my nieces and nephews happliy and ignorantly spouting PC/Liberal crap. It isn’t the country I grew up in and frankly it is lost for good.

I still enjoy holidaying there though :-).

Nor the one I grew up in during 1950-60s

you mentioned the anti-Vietnam crowd..

In 1968 or there abouts some protesters pushed some coffins for miles down a NZ highway..(I think it was in Canterbury..

there were 28 coffins, one for each NZer who had died in Vietnam at that time...

The families of the dead soldiers didnt ask them to, they just did it...

At the time i was appalled...

I had 4 cousins in Vietnam and my brother was in the NZ Navy patroling the China Sea..and I had girl cousins in the NZ Air Force based in NZ...

I keep calling Helen “Potter” but her name was Clark wasnt it ???

When I saw her in Lyttleton I felt she was a weak leader, a puppet..She read of a greeting in Maori to us and every time she said a word that I had never heard before, a word that sounded like a certain 4 letter curse word, the Maoris standing near us would giggle amd laugh hysterically...She repeeated it several times and she had to have heard their response...I was embarrassed for her...she was obviously set up...the PC idiot...

The Maori I learnt in school was not the Maori she was speaking...

TN,

Tks your reply. I was very young when the VN war protests were at their peak but my dad and brother in law were both in the NZ Army at the time. The former served in the Emergency in Malaya and trained many of the signallers who deployed to Phuc Tuoy Province with the ANZAC Brigade, and the latter was at RMC Duntroon but graduated too late for the war. The B in law later went on to attend the Command and Staff College at Ft Leavenworth (81) and he and my sister both said it was the most enjoyable 2 years of their life. I recall seeing footage of returning NZ service personnnel being heckled and attacked on the return home parades. My father and his colleagues had nothing but contempt and disgust for the NZ Labour (Socialist) Party, Lange and all of his fellow travellers.

Yea it was Helen Clark and she was a nasty piece of work. I think she’s now got some sinecure on the diplomatic or UN circuit. They just can’t keep their snouts out of the public trough.

My best pals still work for the NZ MoD and I was shocked at the depth of their admiration and praise for the horrid Obama. Like you said in the earlier email many NZers were amazed others don’t think he is worth spit. Even got called a racist. We had a ferocious set to over that but they are real clear now on my views about the current usurper in the WH.

INCREDIBLE.

THANKS FOR THE INFORMATIVE NARRAGIVE.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. Confirms my own ‘from a distance’ perspective.

[Quix]

HORRIFICALLY DREADFUL. HOWEVER . . .

HOPE IN GOD.

HE HAS A THOROUGH HOUSE CLEANING RIGHT ON THE NEAR HORIZON.

The final sweep will be the literal Armageddon.

[Quix]

GOOD FOR YOU!

That’s one of the things i’d long admired about Aussies and Qiwi’s

. . . what I construed to be a rather fierce CAN DO attitude and independence.

Seems like most of that has been seduced into sucking up to the globalist trough . . . or having succumed to a globalist Vulcan mind-meld.

Sheesh.

[Tennessee Nana]

I have thought for many years that God “rescued” me from NZ

I just couldnt say it before...

Who would have believed it ???

[shredderman]

My Wife and I have good friends also not too far from Christchurch. She’s been trying to see if he’s up on Facebook, but nothing so far. And a phonecall she made also didn’t go through. I hope He and his Family are alright............

[Quix]

Very understandable.

Do you know where Ashburton is in relation to Christchurch?

[aruanan]

Just saw it’s just a little southwest of Christchurch in between the strong and very strong zone. My friend’s two kids and their families live there.

[odds]

Christchurch is a gorgeous city with many charming & quaint buildings - many beautifully restored or maintained. Magnificent vegetation & impeccably groomed gardens. It is my fav city in entire NZ. Thankfully, there was no loss of life.

Noteworthy is perhaps the number of significant earthquakes in 2010 around the world. For example, Haiti in January to start with, and then Chile, Mexico, California, Indonesia, NZ... Which country will be next? Planet Earth feeling jittery?!

Thank you, Lord that no one was killed in spite of this earthquake. Looking at this from a distance I do not think it is just a random coincidence that this quake happened at “ChristChurch” and that none perished. I think this is the heart of our Father in Heaven that none should perish. And even in His Church there is a tremendous shaking going on to awaken and prepare the bride... tearing down structures that get in the way of what He desires to rebuild on a solid foundation. Watch a flood of Truth and Grace flow through this city.
