Honour The Treaty Principles

When you are not a signatory to a historic peace treaty, but need to be in order to govern, interpret it to suit your ideology and call that interpretation; its principles.

If ever there was a sentence to explain the current division theatre being directed by David Seymour and Te Pati Māori, it is the sentence above. If ever there was an article to read to clarify this situation so you can avoid acting like some narcissist’s useful idiot, it’s this one right here. Before we break down an issue made more complicated by the Neofeminine tool “Pere” Huriwai-Seger and the Neomasculine instrument Julian Batchelor, it’s essential to get clear on the basics. How do we do that? We do due diligence on our what, when, where, how, and whys.

What are the Treaty Principles? In a nutshell, they were developed by anti-monarchy Communists who wanted to half-ass the creation of a sovereign state by prematurely cutting themselves off from Westminster Parliament. This wasn’t a rogue move; it aligned with what was happening amongst Western nations at the time. A large inter-connected club of Neoliberal Corporatists and utopians wanted to have fewer obligations to historical documents and more privileges through the marketing of naivety. Essentially, they tried to make themselves richer by claiming they wanted to make everyone richer through their extreme policies. How were they going to do that? Intensifying slavery through the promotion of debtor mindsets by way of education and advertising. Who did this benefit? International Banks and their agents. How did they do this? The Neoliberal Revolution.

When Māori say, “Honour Te Tiriti”, what do they mean? That’s a tricky question to answer, considering that to identify as Māori is to signal to those proficient in linguistics and legalese presumption that you are a slave. A slave to who? Something that wants you to call it the Crown while you worship it’s Iwi House Māori. Why is that relevant? Well, if you don’t wish to be enslaved and you value your hereditary lineage, then it’s important to identify yourself correctly. Once you’ve sorted that business out, the next question not to ask is which treaty? Why? Because there is no “which” in the first paragraph of basic considerations, and for good reason. There are not two treaties; there is only one: Te Tiriti.

Who has this benefitted? Those who are proficient at misrepresenting their language to benefit a construct of victimhood-based supremacism. What is victimhood-based supremacism? It’s a contradictory ideology that is influenced toward a population of traumatised people. In this case, those people are Māori (more accurately interpreted as white’s victims or white’s prey). That way, a few favourably coloured and tattooed Narcissists can benefit from the statistical image of poverty much of our people suffer from. This poverty is expedited by the same affirmative action policies that southern Democrat Lyndon B Johnson promoted. Here, those policies manifest in the treaty settlements, wherein the proxies of the City Of London “give” lots of “money” to iwi corporations.

Unfortunately, these “hand-outs” create the same form of power issues that caused the trauma in the first place. Yet, to them, this is somehow beneficial to the victims of that trauma because their new iwi leaders hypothetically identify with their culture. This cultural carrot hooks our people into a new form of servitude, claiming that this new form of corporate Māorism will preserve and popularise our precious culture. What do they call this unquestioning servitude to corporate iwi? Communism. How does Modern Communism work? It uses crony Capitalism to get wealthy so it can pay the media and useful idiots to slander free-market economics combined with traditional Conservatism. That way, it can replace capitalism, which it claims is the problem, with crony capitalism, which is the problem.

Sadly, there’s a deep gaping hole in this strategy. What happens if these iwi tyrants piss off the most competent and armed people who live on the land with them? What happens if some of their people share the views of those they alienate? More people may wear ta moko and exhibit our art, but how much more significant is the divide between the competent and the self-identifying victims? If warmongerers popularise war, can a group that identifies as victims win against a group that denies victimhood in the face of daily adversity? Here’s a better question: why would someone claim they want their people to thrive while convincing them to identify as victims? Seems contradictory.

That’s because it is contradictory; there’s a reason why unbalanced people shouldn’t lead during unstable times. Unbalanced people have no idea how to balance society if they can’t balance their own lives. Who the hell would believe that they could? Sadly, most of those who follow the dictates of Neoliberal Narcissists right now. Many Liberals glorify drunks like Kiri Allan and Tori Whanau simply because they use the media’s ability to reframe their self-imposed addictions into victimhood traumas. Yet, that problem is best left for another article; in this article, I will focus on the debacle that will be the Treaty Principle Bill. It brings us to critical questions that need to be asked: why do we need non-existent treaty principles interpreted? Why should it be done by an entity that seeks to benefit from that interpretation? Furthermore, why is a peace treaty’s made-up principles considered a constitutional foundation for an entity with no express constitutional foundation on the land?

A peace treaty cannot be a foundational document for a constitutional state. Why? It is a document that only defines the cessation of hostilities between one warring party and another, combined with terms to maintain a pseudo-peace. After the signing of Te Tiriti, there was a declaration that we were now one people and one nation. But is that the case? Where is the Declaration of Independence that includes all the people born on this land and, thus, are bound to protect its culture and law? Where is the express Constitution that defines how that will be done competently? Where are the autographs on those documents from our lawful founding fathers and mothers? Does no such thing exist? So, I ask honestly, where is our firm constitutional foundation? The truth is, it doesn’t exist. It will never exist if we continue a one-hundred-and-eighty-four-year-long argument over an ambiguous pseudo-peace treaty.

“Kua mau tatou ki te ripo. Kati ka taka ki tua o te rua rau tau ka tu mai te pono ki te whakatika inga mea katoa. We have been caught in a whirlpool. Alas, it will last for beyond two hundred years when the truth will stand to put everything right.” - Papurihia, Te Tiriti signatory.

“Contra proferentem. Ambiguities in a contract are construed against the party that drafted the contract.”

So, where are the protests from these passionate activists toward the large fishing corporations engaging in behaviour that diminishes our marine biodiversity? Why would they focus on preventing locals from gaining sustenance and joy from their local reserves? Why are they continuing to perpetuate a race divide that shouldn’t exist any more? Why are they advocating for authority to be given to racist iwi corporations? Of which are prone to bribes from Wellington’s Neoliberal Narcissists because of their lack of constitutional constraints. Who and where should people derive their authority from? Historical documents? Kings and Queens? Cult leaders? Or a consensus agreement that aligns with the law?

Wikatana Popata may be correct when he infers that Wellington has no express jurisdiction over the land. Still, he and his group of racist outlaws have no right to impede on the god-given freedoms of the natives either. Iwi corporations have no more authority than the agents of the City Of London. They may claim authority from He Whakaputanga but have done little to garner consensus on our constitutional foundation. Therefore, they have no authority over men and women either, and the North remains the Wild West, where the biggest gang in any area at any time reigns supreme. There are positives and negatives to that, but communities should heed this warning; if the divide between polarities continues to grow, in a Wild West situation, every peaceful individual is vulnerable to the biggest lawless gang in your area. That’s why we built law-bound states in the first place, to protect the peaceful from unlawful mobs. Anarchy may sound great to people who have only just woken up to the existence of tyranny in authority-wielding groups, but that’s only because they haven’t lived in a Mad Max scenario before.

So, should we honour the treaty principles? Should we honour Te Tiriti? As with any loaded question, you should question the question, just as Māui would. So, in response to that, I ask, define we? Who does Te Tiriti bind? Did it bind two warring parties who no longer exist? Who do the treaty principles bind? The answer to that is simple: the entity that writes them, a corporate entity that calls itself government. That’s why all its rules bind itself first and then everyone else who identifies as an extension of it. If you want to oppose something properly, knowing thy enemy first is best. An activist who engages in actions that undermine the people he or she claims to serve is just a helpful idiot for that corporation in Wellington.

A racist representative is no representative at all; they’re just a supremacist who promotes victimhood for their incompetent iwi corporation masters. Anyone who needs presumed regulators to print them money so they can “thrive”, is incompetent. If you disagree with that, then you’re incompetent. The truth is hard to listen to; listen to hard things. If you’ve read this far, and it wasn't easy throughout, good for you! You can do hard things.
