If those nutty Kiwis could take their heads out of their “you know what’s” and have a good look at themselves, they too could be basking in good economic times like Australia. What I can’t understand is on the one hand this land of four million is just so proud of being cast as these peaceful mountain climbing, tree hugging, bike riding, hemp wearing, pot smoking, bearded (both sexes!), environmentalist, ecology conscious, organic vegetable growing, anti-whaling but oddly very much smoked salmon socialists; then on the other they think it is quite okay for the world to view the Maori Haka on TV before every game of international rugby as New Zealand’s rendition of a “must see” native cultural delight. The funny thing is the world is divided. Some view the Haka as some sort of twisted joke; others consider it as intimidation at its very worst from a bunch of modern day savage thugs. Having been born raised and educated in New Zealand I see the Haka as the latter and the nation’s divider not uniter. It is this split personality thing that stops New Zealand from ever moving forward and is reflected in the historic weakness of its economy. Australia moves from strength to strength as a cohesive and successful nation, while the native combative Maoris (in the main a bunch of social, selfish and shit-stirring misfits) are continually tying the government up in knots over absolute nonsense, thus always keeping New Zealand’s eyes off the main chance.

When we include www.tunasupport.com V.P. Tony Feist’s achievements into growing our business into Polynesian island nations, the South Pacific may represent just 2% of the global economy, but for us it is our raison d’etre!

And don’t tell me the Haka plays no role in promoting violence in schools. Sublimely it endorses and encourages it!

More kids lash out at school

Primary school pupils of all age groups are increasingly willing to resort to violence, worried teachers say. Auckland Primary Principals Association president Marilyn Gwilliam said school heads were … More

Every country in the world, except New Zealand, is happy to stand in the middle of the field singing their nation anthems with pride and dignity. What started as a joke decades ago was after the anthems were played, the All Black side (which in those days were 95% pakeha” – Maori for European) would gather together and perform this “haka” as it is known to the mirth of the crowd and their opponents. And so it was meant to be, pure entertainment and fun.

Over the last fifteen years Pacific Islanders and Maoris now constitute the majority of the All Black team. During this time the New Zealand government has handed over $billions in reparations for the “bad deeds” to Maori tribes that occurred after the turn of the nineteenth century. This capitulation, devoid of any common sense or reality has created a nationalism that is now virtually on the same dimensions as Al Qaeda is with Islam. History has proven that Maori tribes were nothing but savages intent on wiping out their opposition. Had the missionaries not arrived in the late 1700′s, the largest tribe, the Ngapuhis, would have wiped out all their enemies. Contrary to what New Zealand children are now being taught, the British literally saved the Maori from self destruction and then created one of the most beautiful countries on this earth, where all until the late twentieth century lived in harmony, prosperity, good health and happiness.

If any reader has seen the movie, “Once We Were Warriors”, they would have a knowledge of what has ended up happening to the Polynesian populace in New Zealand; gangs that would make the Bloods and Crips in America look like saints and social workers, child and spousal violence which no country in the western world has ever seen or experienced, and communities where entitlement takes precedence over working for a living. Maori culture as invented by modern day “academics” and accepted by mainstream New Zealand has resulted in a country which is so divisive that Kiwi’s are leaving the country in droves. Even the immigrant Chinese, who for a while replaced every emigrating New Zealander, have been warned that New Zealand is no longer a friendly place for incoming Asians because of the fear of becoming victims of violence at the hands of the Polynesians. Immigration from Asia has now declined to a trickle.

With that as a background, and the majority of the All Black team now tattooed like a bunch of rap gangsters, some with dreadlocks and all with the look of thugs, can you imagine how the “haka” is currently performed? If the ordinary New Zealander possessed of plain simple normality stood up for what is decent and proper, this war dance would never have become an insult and an offence to the dignity of all Kiwi’s. Maori “activists” as they are known have even introduced a slitting of the throat gesture into the All Black “dance” routine to further browbeat their opposition. The world is tiring of being constantly confronted by unnecessary violence and intimidation and this act by an angry bunch of in the main Kiwi ignoramuses is evidence of how gutless this world has become to confront the real issues that are the root cause of so many of our social problems. This global display of so-called Maori culture being televised to the world every time the All Blacks play, demonstrates to our children we are simply condoning the behavior of primitive savages. .

I agree with those Brits who let New Zealand know they can save future performances for other nations who might see some entertainment value from such. For me, if the All Blacks over the last twenty years had concentrated on just playing the game as good sportsmen on and off the field, they may have won more than just one World Cup. The sports field has no place for the demonstration of purely anti-social behavior. Unfortunately, rugby has descended into a game, when played at national level in New Zealand is nothing but an eighty minute brawl, with the All Blacks leading the way in physical violence and debauchery. William Webb-Ellis, the pupil of the famed private (called Public in England) school, Rugby, from which the game is named, would turn in his grave if he were to learn the sport he invented (and for over 150 years was played like cricket by gentlemen) has stooped to the barbaric levels the All Blacks and their “haka” have brought to the game.
