"
We are a Christchurch-based group with links and members all over Aotearoa/New Zealand. We concentrate on the foreign military and intelligence installations in New Zealand . There are three - the US "Deep Freeze" military base at Harewood ( Christchurch Airport ); and the "NZ" intelligence gathering installations at Tangimoana (Manawatu) and Waihopai (Marlborough), which are simply outposts of American Intelligence. We have specific demands on all three – that Harewood be demilitarised; and the others closed ASAP. We demand the abolition of the NZ Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB), which operates Waihopai and Tangimoana. We have built up information on the whole gamut of the ongoing US-NZ military and intelligence relationship."

A COUPLE OF NEW ZEALAND BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES:
I am hilighting two local
businesses that are for sale. Both Pedro and Woody are unique and wonderful people. One place is a magnificent organic farm in Golden Bay and the other is an art gallery on the ocean and next to a national park. In our own goal of seeking residency, we would be happy to consider how to be apart of either established business as well.
Pedro is a wonderful man in beautiful Golden Bay on the South Island of New Zealand. He has a radiant farm that we enjoyed both the scenery at as well as views. Because of other travelling on needs, he is offering the farm for sale. If interested. contact him direct
through the website.
Woody is a deep hearted artist who has crafted a unique space for many talented people on the spectacular northern part of New Zealand's south island to showcase their work. He too would like to travel on, so if interested in buying this business, contact him direct as well.

By Maan
A humanitarian crisis is underway as the Gaza Strip's only power plant began to shut down on Sunday, and the tiny coastal territory entered its third full day without shipments of vital food and fuel supplies due to Israel's punitive sanctions.

West Bank Bantustan
By Ben White
The Annapolis peace process, guided by the Quartet, leads us towards a Palestinian "state" that, notwithstanding Bush's adjectival outpourings, will resemble
Gaza-esque enclaves declared "unoccupied" and subjected to brutal repression.

McCarthyism Comes to Europe and the Levant:
By Franklin Lamb in Beirut and Ann El Khoury
The foot-soldiers of the Likud lobby around the world are applying pressure to stop people from attending academic and activist conferences. As with the McCarthyism of half a century ago, today's Middle East Studies McCarthyism perpetrated by the Likud Lobby is also a threat to our liberty, to academic freedom, and to basic, fundamental democratic rights and responsibilities.

By Nahida Izzat
The greatest danger and the most ruthless enemy of the world now is Islam, and they the "poor brave" Zionists are living amidst millions and millions of "Islamo-fascists", "terrorists" or "potential terrorists", and they courageously are trying to fight this "evil"

"European Collusion in Israel's Slow Genocide "
By Omar Barghouti
The European Union, Israel's largest trade partner in the world, is watching by as Israel tightens its barbaric siege on Gaza, collectively punishing
1.5 million Palestinian civilians, condemning them to devastation, and visiting imminent death upon hundreds of kidney dialysis and heart patients, prematurely born babies, and all others dependent on electric power for their very survival.

US in Iraq: Are We Humane? - WARNING -
QUOTES:
The history of the race, and each individual's experience, are thick with evidence that a truth is not hard to kill and that a lie told well is immortal: Mark Twain
=
Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing: Thomas Paine, Rights of Man, 1791 ~
The state has, in order to control us, introduced division into our thinking, so that we come to distrust others and look to the state for protection! But the roots of our individualism remind us that what we are is inseparable from the source from which all others derive; that coercive practices that threaten our neighbor also threaten us.: -Butler Shaffer
=
In India when we meet and part we often say, "Namaste," which means: I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides; I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of peace. I honor the place within you where if you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us ... "Namaste." ... : Ram Dass
=
Peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace: Martin Luther (1483-1546)
The ultimate measure of a person is not where one stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where one stands in times of challenge and controversy: Martin Luther King
=
Hitler
and Mussolini were only the primary spokesmen for the attitude of domination and craving for power that are in the heart of almost everyone. Until the source is cleared, there will always be confusion and hate, wars and class antagonisms: J. Krishnamurti
=
Past the seeker as he prayed came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them...he cried, "Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?"...God said, "I did do something. I made you." : Sufi Teaching
=
I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law: Martin Luther King Jr., "Letter From Birmingham Jail", 4.16.63
"The cost of liberty is less than the cost of repression." - W.E.B. Du Bois
=
We cannot have peace if we are only concerned with peace. War is not an accident. It is the logical outcome of a certain way of life. If we want to attack war, we have to attack that way of life: A. J. Muste
"Volumes can be and have been written about the issue of freedom versus dictatorship, but, in essence, it comes down to a single question: do you consider it moral to treat men as sacrificial
animals and to rule them by physical force?" -- Ayn Rand- (1905-1982) Author
=
"Stability and peace in our land will not come from the barrel of a gun, because peace without justice is an impossibility." -- Bishop Desmond Tutu - (1931- ) Nobel Prize for Peace 1984
=
"The greater the importance to safeguarding the community from incitements to the overthrow of our institutions by force and violence, the more imperative is the need to preserve the constitutional rights of free speech, free press and free assembly in order to maintain the opportunity for free political discussion." -- Justice Charles Evans
Hughes - (1862-1948) Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Source: DeJonge v. Oregon, 1937
'Those who joyfully march in rank and file has
already earned my contempt.
They have been given a large brain by mistake,
since for them the
spinal cord would suffice.' - Albert Einstein
'who looks outside dreams
who looks inside awakes' - Carl Gustav Jung
Power Is only a tool that offers the potential
for unlimited freedom
by means of actions that are congruent
with
personal integrity. - anon

When you give food to the poor, they call you a saint. When you ask why the poor have no food, they call you a communist: Archbishop Helder Camara, Brazilian liberation theologist
=
Peace we want because there is another war to fight against poverty, disease and ignorance: Indira Gandhi, 1966
=
It is easier to lead men to combat, stirring up their passion, than to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace: Andre
Gide
=
No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do: Dorothy Day
"The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' it is a very serious consideration . that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." : - Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771.

The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men: -Plato
=
Demagogue: one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots: -H.L. Mencken
Violence is shrouded in justifying myths that lend it moral legitimacy, and these myths for the most part kept people from recognizing the violence for what it was. The people who burned witches at the stake never for one moment thought of their act as violence; rather they though of it as an act of divinely mandated righteousness. The same can be said of most of the violence we humans have ever committed: Gil
Bailie
=
The problems of this world are so gigantic that some are paralysed by their own uncertainty. Courage and wisdom are needed to reach out above this sense of helplessness. Desire for vengeance against deeds of hatred offers no solution. An eye for an eye makes the world blind. If we wish to choose the other path, we will have to search for ways to break the spiral of animosity. To fight evil one must also recognize one's own responsibility. The values for which we stand must be expressed in the way we think of, and how we deal with, our fellow humans: - From the Christmas Message 2001 of HM Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands
=
We have grasped the mystery of the atom and rejected the Sermon on the Mount. Ours is a world of nuclear giants and
ethical infants. We know more about war than we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living: General Omar Bradley
=
The hottest fires in hell are reserved for those who remain neutral in times of moral crisis: Edmund Burke
