The burgeoning fascist state in New Zealand

The police state in New Zealand

The image above is from a police raid of the sort of the notorious Urewera raids of 2007.

However, I have my own story to relate. 

 I have to be purposefully vague as to location and idendities but I can assure you that this is going on – in New Zealand.

The 13 year old son of someone I know has practically been accused of terrorism based on unproved hearsay. This goes on his record and our friend is trying to have it removed.

The story, very briefly is that in a discussion with a school counselor our subject said that someone in the school was planning to build a pipe bomb and ‘take some of the teachers out’

Instead of trying to sort it out, or make further inquiries, the counsellor decided to blow the whistle.

The next thing was the police were banging on the door of our friend in the middle of the night and the school decides to expel – all this based on the hearsay of another teenager who was probably scared shitless of the police.

All the charges – and they went, it transpired into their own record, were based on hearsay. Our friend’s boy was never able to to tell his own story or to challenge that of others who had inmplicated.

And yet this is on his record which goes to the next school and will follow him around wherever he goes.

This is a 13-year-old boy and unless there is strong action taken this has the potential to ruin his life.

In Stalinist Russia (the worst regime I can think of outside of Hitler’s Germany) children were encouraged to inform on their teachers and parents. In our own “democratic” fascist state teachers are mandated to spy on and inform on CHILDREN. 

 I know this to be the case in Britain

Police Corruption

Facebook comments by Russel Malcolm

40 years on, right in our faces NZ Police corruption of the worst kind, its a never ending growing list of murders rapes, beatings, setup, cover-ups, drug dealing, False arrests, Political raids.

Incompetence to deeply entrenched organised crime, and those in power need those of you who say its only a few bad ones to keep spouting that shit. Those who say that are the traitors to our society. Its keeps the illusion going.

Arthur was eventually cleared by independent investigation due to the actions of good people unselfishly fighting for justice, we dont even have that element in our society any more. If we do its rare and police attack them with vengeance, again without any accountability.

Do a simple exercise start with ten cops, one commits a crime harming another person. two cops coverup for him, the rest know its going on and do nothing. ...........Which ones are of a high enough integrity to be Police?

The courts cover form them, Judges are compromised, Media print what the system wants us to think we know.

This is not a rare event, its everyday practice, covered only the soothing weasel words coming in press release from Police and Police association which is a political pressure group established to look after cops. Trying to con us in emotion words of how they care. If they did care this would not be going on.

Police inquiry a 'cover up' - Arthur Allan Thomas

Arthur Allan Thomas has condemned a soon to be released police inquiry into the Crewe murders as a mockery and a "cover up" following the police's defence of the man who led the original investigation.

At a rare public appearance this morning Mr Thomas, who was twice convicted and then pardoned in the murders of Jeanette and Harvey Crewe in 1970, said police were "protecting their own".

"It's a shame that we have this system of cover up," Mr Thomas told the media and members of the public at Pukekawa Hall.


Police brutality

In New Zealand the police investigate themselves with the 'Independent  Police Complaints Commission

Police pay after tussle with farmer

_{Police have agreed to pay a Southland farmer $14,000 in damages and costs after armed officers entered his property without permission and, in a resulting tussle, pepper-sprayed him, punched him in the face and Tasered him while he was handcuffed.}

_{Court and police documents say three constables, from Invercargill and Bluff, arrived at the Greenhills farm of Corey Vreugdenhil on March 18 last year to investigate a complaint of intimidation laid by his neighbour, Les Cooper.}

_{The two men have a history of confrontation.}

_{The officers entered the property carrying Glock pistols, M4 semi-automatic rifles, pepper spray, Tasers and batons. When they approached Vreugdenhil's house he told them to "f . . . off".}

_{A constable then told Vreugdenhil he was under arrest for "speaking threateningly".}

_{He replied he had done nothing wrong and again told them to "f . . . off".}

_{They remained at the property and entered his house where a tussle took place.}

_{Vreugdenhil was pepper-sprayed and wrestled to the ground. He was subsequently Tasered and punched in the face when, police statements say, he attempted to pull a Glock pistol out of an officer's holster.}

_{Vreugdenhil has this week denied trying to grab the pistol.}

_{A constable's statement describes how he looked down and saw Vreugdenhil holding the grip of another constable's Glock pistol. The officer's face "looked frantic and he was trying to break Vreugdenhil's grip on his pistol", the statement says.}

_{After the tussle, Vreugdenhil was taken to the Invercargill police station, seen by a doctor, held in the cells overnight and released on bail the next day.}

_{Among Vreugdenhil's injuries were wounds from the Taser prongs and wounds to his nose, wrists, shoulder and painful eyes from the pepper spray.}

_{A memorandum before the courts for Vreugdenhil says police later acknowledged that their presence at the property and the subsequent arrest was unlawful.}

_{Police withdrew charges alleging Vreugdenhil had assaulted police and resisted arrest.}

_{Another charge Vreugdenhil faced for threatening to injure his neighbour, Les Cooper, was also dropped.}

_{The memorandum says the three officers had no grounds to remain on Mr Vreugdenhil's property or enter his house.}

_{"Police acknowledge they were clearly told to leave the premises and the defendant clearly revoked their implied licence to remain. Thereafter they were trespassers."}

_{Police this month, in correspondence to Vreugdenhil, agreed to pay him $10,000 in damages, $4000 in costs and write him a letter acknowledging they had breached his rights.}

_{He said yesterday he had not yet received that letter.}

_{Southland area commander Inspector Lane Todd, in correspondence to Vreugdenhil dated February 27, says his complaint about the police handling of the matter was reported to the Independent Police Conduct Authority.}

_{"The investigator has concluded that the attending constables technically have failed to leave your address at the time you directed them to," the letter says.}

_{"After legal advice was sought, the investigator further concluded that this in effect was a civil trespass. The investigator however concluded that the attending officers were acting in good faith and had the honest belief that their actions were justified and within the law."}

_{Todd's letter says he has spoken to the constables involved, "and I have reminded them of the legal requirements in incidents of this nature".}

_{Yesterday, Todd told The Southland Times that police were now finalising the settlement agreement with Vreugdenhil. An independent investigation into the incident had been completed and was with the Independent Police Conduct Authority for review, he said.}

_{"Until all matters have been finalised and reviewed it is not appropriate for police to make any further comments at this time."}

_{Perhaps the most egregious case of police violations is the invasion of the house of investigative journalist, Nicky Hager in response to the embarassement from his revelations of dirty politics and of spying and surveillance of New Zealanders - the result of which that New Zealanders rushed in to return a fascist government to power}

NEW ZEALAND COPS RAIDED HOME OF REPORTER WORKING ON SNOWDEN DOCUMENTS

Agents from New Zealand’s national police force ransacked the home of a prominent independent journalist earlier this month who was collaborating with The Intercept on stories from the NSA archive furnished by Edward Snowden. The stated purpose of the 10-hour police raid was to identify the source for allegations that the reporter, Nicky Hager, recently published in a book that caused a major political firestorm and led to the resignation of a top government minister.

But in seizing all the paper files and electronic devices in Hager’s home, the authorities may have also taken source material concerning other unrelated stories that Hager was pursuing. Recognizing the severity of the threat posed to press freedoms from this raid, the Freedom of the Press Foundation today announced a global campaign to raise funds for Hager’s legal defense

In 2012, at the behest of Hollywood and the Obama administration (VP Joe Biden in particular), entrepeneur Kim Dotcom's mansion was raided and Kim Dotcom and his colleagues were arrested for alleged copyright infringement.

The Kim Dotcom raids

The response of the government has been to retrospectively justifuy and legalise their actions, including the spying by its external intelligence arm, the GCSB, on New Zealanders
