Steffan Browning NZ Green MP on the GCSB and Related Legislation Amendment Bill
21 Aug 2013 - Speech - Steffan Browning Green MP
Stood up in the NZ Paliament and said:
I implore one of the 61 MPs who has previously supported this legislation to change at this vote and allow a full inquiry first. The Government
has failed to provide a real justification for this fundamental attack on our democratic rights and freedoms, and the legislation facilitates
the legal establishment of a surveillance State in New Zealand.
I rise to speak to the third readings of the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) legislation. These bills collectively are an arrogant,
unjustified, and fundamental extension of the ability of the State to intrude into the private lives of ordinary New Zealanders.

This above interview also mentions: NZ's current military Alliances and who we are involving ourselves with, when we truly need
to be a Global Advocate for Peace and Conflict Resolution.
June 2013. The New Zealand Army and Royal New Zealand Air Force were joined by the Canadian, US and British armies and the
US Marine Corps to enact a common conflict scenario of insurgents trying to overthrow a government. Four nations' 'military
invasion' goes well said the local press. Situated in Tararua, Wairarapa, North of Wellington. Exercise Alam Halfa (strange
name) 2013, was the precursor to Exercise Southern Katipo, to be held in the South Island of this year. Some local residents were very concerned
at seeing armed soldiers standing on town rooftops and even the local library.
Again in June of this year, Southern California operation Dawn Blitz at Camp Pendleton took place.
The number
of US marines stationed at Pendleton is 25 times that of the whole New Zealand Army. This exercise was also joined by Canadian and Japanese
soldiers.http://www.1stmardiv.marines.mil/News/NewsArticleDisplay/tabid/8585/Article/542028/marines-give-new-zealand-army-house-to-house-combat-training.aspx
Marines give New Zealand Army house-to-house combat training.
From China's press we read that: Approximately 28,000 personnel took part in the biennial Australian and U.S. training exercise,
which tested combined and joint fighting capabilities in "a complex high-end environment" conducted in Australia and Hawaii from July 15
to Aug. 5.
'The New Zealand Defense Force (NZDF) sent observers to Exercise Talisman Saber 2013, one of Australia's
major biennial exercises, to further develop our amphibious capability,'
In Sept 2013 Top military chiefs met in Auckland from more than 30 countries to discuss security issues as they gathered for the
Pacific Armies' Chief's conference.
So this is the world that we have entered. One that is militarising across every major country as alliances are built and where fear engenders their establishment.
We never hear how we can enable civil society to engage in conflict resolution and find novel ways to reconcile opposing points of view. Thus, we waste
gigantic amounts of resources and money, that fills the coffers of the armament manufacturers and shareholders, when we could have thousands of skilled
mediators travelling and living in countries of conflict, learning and teaching how to restore friendly relations and how much we have in common than
have differences. To speak openly of peace is just not on the agenda of the political establishment.
Is this the world we want to bring our children and grand children up in?
This is 'enough' of EARTHFILES for this week:
PS It's all rigged - further up the system to the top of the pyramid, puppet masters are pulling the strings.
