17 activists arrested, denied bail. 300+ Police raid houses across the country
Prominent Tino Rangatiratanga activist Tame Iti was among the first arrested at his home at 4am Monday morning. At 6am raids were carried out at A Space Inside anarchist social centre in Auckland [ Search Warrant ] and the 128 activist Community Centre in Wellington [ 
Video of police raid ]. In Tuhoe Country, the town of Ruatoki was blockaded by armed police for several hours, with no cars allowed in and many searched, including a school bus full of children.

The four Wellington arrestees (2 women and 2 men) have recieved a total of 20 charges. On Wednesday they will be back in court as the prosecution attempts to move their trial to Auckland, while they will have an opportunity to apply for bail hearing on Friday.
5 arrestees (1 woman and 4 men) in Auckland will remain in custody until Friday while a 6th, Jamie Beattie Lockett, who faces 3 charges under the Firearms Act, will have a bail hearing Tuesday morning.
An arrestee in the Hamilton District Court, charged with 6 charges, will appear in the Auckland District Court on Friday.
In Rotorua, Tame Iti, facing 8 charges, will have a bail application heard Tuesday at 3pm. A woman in the Rotorua District Court, facing 5 charges, has been remanded in custody for 2 weeks, although will be allowed to apply for bail during that time.
The Police will make a decision in the coming days/weeks as to whether they will apply to the Solicitor General to allow charges to be laid under the 2002 Terrorism Supression Act. If they do get permission, it would be the first time charges have been laid under the act. There may still be more arrests and more charges as well.

Re: Re: Wellington Meeting
Although this action is one I am strongly against, name calling like this does not help, only serves as a knee jerk reaction. For God's sake, look at some where there's more severe, more real oppression like, say BURMA.

1. The special relationship between the Queen and the Maori People (not the Clowns in Wellington)
2. The Protection of Kawanatanga for the protection of Rangatiratanga
3. Land as Taonga Tuku iho of special significance to maori.
Maori are not terrorists as they are living their rights under the declaration of independence 1835.
However the same cannot be said for Helen Clark's parliament circus who have no constitution as jefferey palmer done away with that right.
These people are merely hunters and food gatherers.

What we have is a bunch of old farts and a few naive hangers on, whodreamed of being soldiers. They liked to play Che Guevara in the backwoods. The police got wind of it, had a look, spotted that the would-be warriors had guns that weren't legal, heard some found-the-camp-fire bullshit and misconstrued the whole thing as a terorist plot. It will all get sorted out. Some of those who have been apprehended probably have nothing to complain about, as they gave the police enough evidence to suspect there might have been a plot.
Comparing this to Nazi Germany, Palestine, or anything else is ludicrous and silly. Right wingers must be reading this thread and pissing themselves with laughter.

Comrades,
The Central Committee of the Llama Alpaca Militant Alliance (LAMA) extends its solidarity to the arrested human activists and calls for their immediate release.
LONG LIVE LAMA!
*END*
Re: Re: 17 activists arrested, denied bail. 300+ Police raid houses across the country
The above alliance is an unenlightened one because they want to keep our llama, alpaca and other animal chums in captivity and servitude so they can be exploited for our own human petty needs.
See below for proof.

So instead of supporting them support an animal rights group for a better more compassionate and equal new world.

Big thanks to Indy Media and everyone for your support!!!
Re: 17 activists arrested, denied bail. 300+ Police raid houses across the country
What happened on Monday seems very sensational, and a little alarming. Perhaps part of the media hype, perhaps not.
Perhaps even over reported... Maybe they were running a simple exercise camp.. Who knows..
BUT when the report says they seized a Napalm Bomb.. Come on.. People i dont care what you think about this groups intentions...
A Napalm bomb is good for only one thing.. This group needs to be seriously questioned and investigated...
I want to support the police on this one. I do not think they have over stepped their powers, but the challenge is that they do not push too hard past that boundry.
However I suspect with this group they wont need to overstep the mark as they seem to be already in that lunatic fringe section.

We do need to continue to work to break down the oligarchy that has control over the power structures of the world, and New Zealand is as good a place as any to do that. But a bunch of Maori spereratists aren't gonig to contribute to that.
Re: 17 activists arrested, denied bail. 300+ Police raid houses across the country
what happened here was a way for them to exercise their training in 'terrorist' whatever - you were simply the victims of it - it happens all the time in the US - the NZ police are becoming clones of the US and instead of training exercises where people know they are part of an exercise - you were not told - but you were nothing more than part of an exercise in terrorism control or whatever word goes there
you can't fight them....there has to be another way

(I also happen to think spending 5 days a week making money is boring, unhealthy, and greedy.)
Would you make the same assumption about ALL the millions of volunteers that contribute so massively to society in so many ways? Or are the ones that volunteer with children and old people ok, but the ones that volunteer working for peace, human rights or the environment not? Doesn't that just sound like prejudice?
If you try questioning your assumptions occasionally, you won't end up sounding so foolish.
As for what's happened in NZ, modern history is full of documented police stitch ups, and also of despairing people who end up feeling violent tactics are all they've got left to protect the things that matter to them.
I'm not gonna speculate which this til more facts are available, but knowing activitist communities I sure lean more towards the first. Solidarity to the NZ activist community in a scary time.

What should be of more concern is:
-not talking to the media, for example, a member of the Save The Happy Valley Coalition was interviewed on Close Up tonight, needless to say, it seemed fairly counterproductive.
-ask yourself why neo-nazi organisations in the south island have been involved in paramilitary training in the past few years, yet haven't been raided/arrested/denied bail/been plastered all over the main stream media over the past few days.
-this is pretty serious shit, using this complete abuse of civil liberties as some kind of call to arms (like advocating violence as a legitimate reaction) is going to do a lot more harm than good. Better a unified, well thought out reaction, controlled contact with the mainstream media, and protests focused on an issues based agenda.
May be even think a little bit about what is at stake right now. Because this really doesn't feel like a game.

Re: 17 activists arrested, denied bail. 300+ Police raid houses across the country
I support the complete destruction of the Government and to those other countries ruled by tyrants. I am an anarchist lefty feminist good witch. I FULLY SUPPORT military training for Tino Rangatira, anarchist, animal rights, feminist, enviromental activists. Id the police have them THEN WHY THE **** cant WE?
Our rights are being taken from us everyday and I think these ARRESTS will only make us STRONGER. We know who we are, we are the future. Everyone has a place. Everyone deserves equality. RISE UP and band together.
Re: Re: 17 activists arrested, denied bail. 300+ Police raid houses across the country
It's okay nobody panic, peak oil's coming and that will leave the world in a state of anarchy whether it likes it or not. Hopefully. The police will have alienated supporters over this issue because of their use of force, let's not make the same mistake. Hate to be pessimistic, but can anyone name a peacefull and succesfull revolution? This is not going to be pretty, but violence is not the best course just yet. I'm all for blowing up trains lines and coal power stations, but violence against humans is a last resort. For all those too holy to up arms and fight, it's your choice, but someone has too.

These ATTACKS were racially and politically motivated:
1. "middle" NZ will now fear Maori
2. certain legislation will be pushed through
3. selected sites were removed from the internet temporarily or permanently
Anonymous, as NZ is clearly not a place where free speech, expression or protest can flourish.

The Jews didn't live peacefully with their neighbours in pre-1948 Palestine for thousands of years. There were comparatively few there, and those few were dominated by various Muslim overlords until the Ottoman empire was dismembered after World War one. That is only "peace" in the sense of being too weak to speak up is peace.

That's why I admire the activist community - they are playing thei rpart, being concerned citizens. But I do get annoyed by the dogmatic attitude on display on this forum. The police, for example, are not simply some repressive tool of state repression waiting to smash the workers' faces into the mud onceagain. Theya re trying to enforce laws that are negotiated by a range of interests, ranging from the top to the bottom of society. Althusser was wrong, Gramsci was right.
As for the risk of wrongful arrest you mention, that is a real danger. But to suggest - as so many have done - that the policewere acting completely without warrant is ludicrous. It wasn't the case of Tame Iti making an off hand remark about fertilizer and petrol, it was an aggregation of several pieces of evidence that prompted police action. The police might be totally wrong, and they probably did over react, and they were almost certainly wrong to use the (deeply bad) anti-terror legislation, but they were responding to the perception of a real threat.

It is a sad day for Police Commissioner and Helen Clark.
Maybe now is a good time to call for the feudal title as Maori are under attack from a terrorist group namely NSW settlers parliament.
Why in the world would somebody want to waste a bullet or threat on Helen Clark you could feed a family with that bullet utilising it for hunting.
Obviously the Settlers parliament are afraid of losing their right to govern.
They already have no constitution, which makes you wonder who really are the terrorists in New Zealand cause i am 100 percent positive that they are an illegal. I wonder what the Queen has to say about that.
