Did you know that:

More than a decade or so ago Palmerston North, my fair city took the correct and bold step of joining with other NZ Cities [Ten or eleven] in declaring our city a Peace City. Some of the Mayors were: Auckland Mayor Les Mills, Hastings Mayor, Jeremy Dwyer, Hamilton Mayor, Margaret Evans, Manukau Mayor Barry Curtis, Napier Mayor Alan Dick, Palmerston North Mayor Paul Rieger, Taupo Mayor Joan Williamson, Waitakere Mayor Bob Harvey, Wellington Mayor Fran Wilde, – rededicated by Mayor Mark Blumsky. 

PN officially became a 'City of Peace' in June 2012 when the Mayor joined the world-wide 'Mayors for Peace' organisation

This was but a small step forward in the advancement of peace and a clear indicator that peace for our city was better than war!
But not all individuals have taken that declaration seriously, especially those in the arms sales industry...they saw this declaration as a restraint to their stated aim of selling weapons of war to various military and police forces around the world, and this included New Zealand.
Hands are better than weapons.
These corporation's have always seen the possibility of massive arms sales in our fair land.

They set up a sales center in Auckland a couple of years back, but were faced with massive peaceful demonstrations against their so-called EXPO that it never really got underway. A year later they tried Wellington and got to advertise their weapons only after a massive protest, it cost our police and therefore taxpayers hundreds of thousands to protect these international criminals as they chatted about their killing power with other like minded people.

This year they have selected Palmerston North to once again shove their sales pitch down our throats, they just adore selling their weapons to both sides of a conflict. Because at the same time as they are attempting to fool us into buying into their never ending debt, they are doing the same to other countries overseas.

Most of these corporation's don’t give a hoot about about the wars they perpetuate. Hence the reason why the US where most of the corporation's are based never really seeks to end wars, for example the rest of the world considers the war in Korea over, not so the US.

You see killing has become the norm in this day and age, dictators kill their citizens without any sense of wrong doing, and these murderers are the people that these so-called salesmen seek out. I say my New Zealand should not be one of them!

The money behind these salesmen care little for humanity, justice and legality. They attempt to show these [sometimes willing powers] the ways and means to destroy others using modern technology such as drones and such like. Of course they push the line, that they are only doing this to ‘protect’ a nations citizens. That is a lie! They pretend to care about us, when in fact they are like the tobacco sellers who still today legally sell a deadly product, knowing, as we all do, that it kills.

So what can we do? Well we could demand that the council keeps its promise to make Palmerston North a ‘peace city’. The council should stop these international funded crooks from invading our fair city to sell their weapons of war and I hope they will do just that. The council could if it so desired cancel the deal they have that allows us to host these absolute unwanted vermin.

That would naturally and peacefully save the country thousands of thousands of dollars also it could without doubt save countless deaths.

Right now the Government is in the stupid process of spending 2.3 billion on four aircraft which are mainly designed to attack submarines, but not US subs, or Australian subs, but Chinese subs on behalf of the US, which as I’ve pointed out, creates nothing better than ensuring ‘forever’ wars such as Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan and Korea. Read the blog from No Right Turn below to learn more facts about our use of anti-submarine air craft. 

If that past Mayoral desire for a Peace City was sincere then cancelling our planned Arms EXPO is a must do behaviour...we should not believe words alone, behaviour proves actual commitment and real change.

Here in the Manawatu we by and large I believe, value our Defence Forces especially the Army and the Air Force which have bases here in our bountiful region, they are a part of our community, society and humanity.

Also our police men and women have plenty to do rather than spend time protecting war mongers and such like, just like I believe most thinking defence people at the rock face, believe in saving people rather than killing them. It's called keeping the peace.

1939 was the last time NZ declared war, now days the US and our so-called friends declare war and we simply follow the leader and with Trump in charge that is dangerous indeed. If we truly believe that NZ desires to live in peace, then let’s match that statement with changed behaviour. Here are a few of those New Zealanders who have died fighting other peoples wars of late:
Some New Zealanders think we punch above our weight, lets stop punching, and instead behave above our weight, let us not forget that the only terrorists caught operating here in NZ were Frenchmen [Who sunk a ship in Auckland] and Israeli secret agents [Who tried to steal dead babies passports during the Christchurch earthquake.

It’s bad enough that military forces operating in US, Israeli and other self-created war zones, like the Middle East are killing without endangering their own forces through the haphazard use of drones and auto bombs which have killed thousands of innocent victims and where the attackers have no real understanding and perspective on the destruction they bring about. It has been termed ‘distant and blind killing’ and some suggest that it removes the very real emotional effect on the people involved in the killing.

After years and years of this accepted so-called normal behaviour murder and war has becomes the norm. The following references highlights this in regard to Israel and its Zionist Government:


If you have the time to read some or all of the references they will prove just how governments use the range of weapons for sale at world expo sales programmes.

These immoral salesmen are not selling protection for humanity they are selling death and destruction not only to people but to the environment, not only to us but to the rest of the world as well.
Some may argue that it is a matter of free speech and the free market place they use to peddle their cash cows... that is simply rubbish, is as false as their message that we need them. Truth is they need us not the reverse, we are the ones doing the paying.

2. This week I have two short blogs for you to take a look at, they relate to today's news, free speech and submarine threats to our fair shores. The first is from: Boonman,

“As a former leader of two major Wellington organisations and the ACT Party, I have, for years, been championing free speech.
Consider, if you will, a younger old white man, standing up in front of other old white men in a small back room in Orewa – or, as I call it, Ohreewah. This younger old white man talked about two laws for all. One law for the Maoris and another for the rest of us. So many, many of the old white men in that room agreed with me and the National Party immediately went up in the polls. New Zealanders agreed with this young old white man.
So many people called me a racist. They were wrong, but that was their right. It was their right to be wrong.
People are free to stand up and call me a racist just as I am free to stand up and say whatever I want about whomever I want no matter how objectionable or racist it may appear on first, second, or sixty third reading.
When I heard that some good people with similar views to me were planning to come to New Zealand, I was excited. Then Phil Goff had the audacity to ban them from all Auckland Council venues. This, coupled with the fact that I haven’t really been in the media for a number of months, caused me to speak up and say no.
I, and a number of my old white friends, are teaming up to challenge Phil Goff so that my friends can come to New Zealand and tell everyone how terrible people who don’t look like them are.
I would say here that I don’t necessarily agree with anything these two say, although some of it is right up my alley. However objectionably racist, hate-fuelled and derogatory their speech, they are completely within their rights to say it. Just like I am completely within my rights to crowd-fund the legal challenge against the Auckland Council. Or to pop up on Radio New Zealand every so often whenever I feel threatened by the prospects of my old white guy status quo being de-quo’d.
That’s what freedom of speech is all about. Saying things that other people disagree with so you can get on the radio again.
I hope you will join me at the tent we’ve organised for Lauren and Stefan. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard a couple of Nazis in full cry, and she’s a bit of a looker as well, so there’s that too.
Thank you for listening to my speech.
Don Brash – Old, White and Racist since ages ago". Don Brash's friends arrived on Friday.

The 2nd: Blog of the week is from: No Right Turn:"How much of a waste of money is the government's decision to blow $2.3 billion on high-tech American sub-hunting aircraft? An OIA request through FYI, the public OIA request site, has shown just how mythical the submarine "threat" actually is: while NZDF's record keeping is typically awful, the last time they say they detected a submarine with the Orions outside of an exercise was in 1998. The last time they detected a non-friendly submarine was in 1989: almost thirty years ago. They apparently haven't even bothered recording it since 2010, though they say that "submarine detection's were still being reported orally on occasion".
So, that's how important sub-hunting is to NZDF: not important enough to document or record, but supposedly important enough to spend $2.3 billion on.
New Zealand has a clear need for maritime surveillance aircraft to perform fisheries patrols and search and rescue. But we don't need hi-tech sub-hunters. NZDF openly admits that when they say in their white paper that they can see no immediate threats, and that they expect a decade to rearm if one appears, so there's no need to spend this money now. The additional capability to fight this mythical threat is costing us about a billion dollars, and that's a billion dollars that could be better spent elsewhere at present.

On Sunday the 5th of August 2018 at 5pm at All Saints Church hall, there is a service with a difference, for a part of that service will look at the issue of non-violent action.This part of the service will be conducted by the Rev Andy Hickman: He wrote these words..

"To claim to be a follower of Jesus and therefore a Christian and to passively sit back and allow (let alone support) our government’s complicit involvement in the bombing of Syria, the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, etc etc, one must surely ask “What Would Jesus Do?”, “Would he bomb these nations?”
The answer of course is be a definitive NO. Rather, he challenged the oppressive power structures through non-violent direct action".

The following week’s sequel (AUG 12th) is "Being Outside Agitators"

Andy's message has hit a nerve for me and maybe it has for you, if so why not try to be be there no matter what your religion. This message is important, especially if you have children and family.
Well that's it for this week, the huge task of getting the local council to reconsider the odd, backward and strange permission granted to a bunch of rat-bags arms sellers by the Mayor alone. It will lead to higher rates and even more taxation.

You might like to send an email to NZF LMP, Ron Mark the Minister of Defence here is his address: r.mark@ministers.govt.nz 

PS: 
The two strange Canadians venue has just cancelled their $100 dollar a ticket public meeting, common sense has prevailed...let them hold it on the street, what will don Brash do now? 
And:
Never forget you are among the most important people in the world...why because all people are important.

Wheeler's Corner broadcast each Monday [AM999] at 4 pm.
