How fraud and deception has been used as a weapon in taking over a Sovereign nation. 

HISTORICAL MIGRATION:

Between 1835 and 1840 immigrants from the British Empire came to the shores of Aotearoa Nu Tireni (New Zealand) and began acting in a disrespectful manner that trampled on practices, beliefs and values that tangata whenua (people of the land) Maori held sacred (tapu). Although this displeased the tribes, the Ariki also realised that to act in an irrational manner towards immigrants of the British Empire could affect the relationship with the British Empire as well as have an impact on future trade around the globe.

THE NZ ASSOCIATION COMPANY:

With the passing of Maori Trustee His Majesty King William IV on July 20^th 1837 the NZ Association Company was recognised as the biggest flotilla corporation of its kind in the world at the time came to the shores of Aotearoa Nu Tireni New Zealand late in 1839-1840 for the purpose of speaking on behalf of and re-establishing on behalf of the British Empire under Her Majesty Queen Victoria to change the terms of the relationship from He Whakaputanga Declaration of Independence 1835 to a new Treaty called Te Tiriti o Waitangi-The Treaty of Waitangi. The United Confederation of Tribes thought it was a good idea as it was a way of inviting the British Empire to come into shared space with them and manage the disrespectful behaviour of some of the settlers on the land. It was agreed under Article 1 of the Maori version of Te Tiriti o Waitangi that all the Ariki would transfer Trusteeship on behalf of the External Sovereign Partner Queen Victoria, to Her British Subject The NZ Association Company, for intents and purposes now known as the New Zealand Settler Government for the purpose of managing the disrespectful behavior of the British immigrants within Aotearoa Nu Tireni New Zealand. The rationale behind this underlying theme suggests that the United Confederation of Tribes wanted to make sure that the relationship established with the Maori Trustee Her Majesty Queen Victoria was honoured and that the future aspirations for global trade and continued growth of the economy was cemented as a result.

TE TIRITI O WAITANGI (Treaty of Waitangi): (Maori Version-English Translation)

1. Article One: The Chiefs of the Confederation and all the Chiefs who have not joined that Confederation give absolutely to the Queen of England forever the complete Government over their land
2. Article Two: The Queen of England agrees to protect the chiefs, the sub tribes and all the people of New Zealand in the unqualified exercise of their chieftainship over their lands, villages and all their treasures. But on the other hand the Chiefs of the Confederation and all the Chiefs will sell land to the Queen at a price agreed to by the person owning it and by the person buying it (the latter being) appointed by the Queen as her purchase agent.
3. Article 3: declares that; for this agreed arrangement therefore concerning the Government of the Queen, the Queen of England will protect all the ordinary people of New Zealand and will give them the same rights and duties of citizenship as the people of England.
4. Article 4: Verbal oath by Catholic Priest Pompellier stating that Maori be allowed to practice their religion according to their own beliefs.

Preamble: English version

The English version of the Treaty of Waitangi states that the British intentions were to protect Maori interests from the encroaching British settlement, provide for British settlement and establish a government to maintain peace and order.

DIFFERING IDEOLOGIES:

The relationship between the External Sovereign Partner and the tangata whenua Sovereigns established on the 28^th October 1835 with He Whakaputanga Declaration of Independence created space to allow for differences so that when each party entered into shared space, the level at which the External Sovereign Partner and the tangata whenua sovereigns interacted was at an equal level. With the inclusion of the NZ Settler Government the dynamics changed. The level of interaction moved from creating shared space, to the NZ Settler Government dominating space at every level of interaction between the NZ Settler Government and tangata whenua sovereigns.

Tangata whenua Sovereigns recognize Mother Earth and Father Sky as ancestors so created rituals of engagement that allowed them to interact with Mother Earth and Father Sky in an appropriate manner. All the Hapu worked as a collective for the betterment of the whole tribe. The Ariki was the recognised authority however; the power of that authority was constituted by the tribe who were the basis of that authority. The NZ Settler Government introduced western ideologies that were to have detrimental impacts on the Wairua (Spiritual) Hinengaro (Cognitive), Tinana (Physical) Whanau (Environmental) elements that are of up most importance to tangata whenua sovereigns. One of the first ideologies introduced was the process of subjected positioning. Its underlying principles, values and themes are based on racism, mono-cultural dominance, power and control. The underlying value of this process was created for the purpose of coveting that which belongs to another.

1. The premise of Racism suggests one ethnic culture is superior in every facet possible to any other culture.
2. This premise justifies the actions of that culture in dehumanising the culture of another therefore; giving them the authority to take that which belongs to another.
3. The methodology historically used is called subjected positioning from one culture to another using labels and stereotypes that moves a culture from a position of power to a position of dis-empowerment.
4. The impact of subjected positioning has had detrimental effects on tangata whenua sovereigns to the point that some members have forgotten their identities and/or have accepted the inferior position they have been subjected to without understanding what is going on and or giving permission to be subjected.
5. This has been achieved by the NZ Settler Governments who over a one hundred and seventy (170) year period have re-written New Zealand History from a Western Worldview perspective implementing it incrementally in a manner that future generations may only know Western Worldview perspective thus Maori have lost a lot of their own natural heritage as Tangata Whenua Sovereigns of Aotearoa NZ.
6. The NZ Settler Governments have continued to inform the NZ Public (that is both Western and Maori society) only from this position for the reason of enhancing and reinforcing their current position of self appointed authority to maintain power and control. They still continue to teach from this Patriarchal Western Worldview in history, in politics, in education, in the media, in business, and in economics for the purpose of keeping control of authority that legitimately does not belong to them.
7. The impact of this last point has been detrimental to tangata whenua sovereigns in terms of dealing with a NZ public (both Western and Maori) that is ill informed about the true historical nature behind the Treaty of Waitangi.

The Patriarchal system has been detrimental to the tangata whenua sovereigns as it created a barrier to a connection between the Atua (Gods) and tane (man) and wahine (woman) by moving the wahine (woman) from a position of being an equal partner to a position of being subservient to her tane (man) from this position ego took over and the voice of the whanau became the voice of one, (tane -only) removing the voice of the rest to speak or make decisions for themselves, thus not being able to contribute to the collective as the result of no voice.

The introduction of Capitalism dictated that the Earth is a commodity, a resource for the procreation of wealth. It is systems focused both constituted and ratified at corporate level then implemented at public level often at the expense of the population.

HISTORICAL IMPACTS:

The Treaty of Waitangi travelled throughout New Zealand and even at the initial beginning of signing Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840 through to its current demise in 2010 the historical timeline of events highlights the use by the NZ Settler Governments of secret combinations and systematic nechanisms. Another issue that has come to light, is that for the Treaty of Waitangi to be considered a legitimate document binding all parties it would have needed to be constituted in New Zealand, sent to Westminster Abbey to be ratified in the House of Lords by the Privy Council, and then signed off by the Maori Trustee Her Majesty Queen Victoria to be implemented as NZ Imperial Statutory law. This process has never taken place. Instead, October 1840 the final version of the Treaty of Waitangi was sent to the colonial office in London now the Public Record Office CO 209/7, 178) as a reference of copies for their records.

LEGISLATIVE VIOLATIONS OF THE TREATY OF WAITANGI

The first 150 years

These are only some of the legislative violations - there are many more than those listed here.

In 1840, Maori owned 66,400,000 acres of land

1841 - Land Claims Ordinance stated that lands not actually occupied or used by the Maori belonged to the Crown. This contradicted Article 2 of the Treaty 

1844 - Governor Fitzroy dropped the pre-emption clause in Article 2 of the Treaty and allowed private sales to take place. 

1846 - Governor Grey abolished the Protectorate Department, which had the responsibility of protecting Maori rights, and gave the New Zealand Company the exclusive right of pre-emption.
