The Face of Terrorism

ID896670_15_maori_afp_00DCFA_0.JPG.jpg

You know things are over the top when making a face constitutes terrorism.

A reader sent me a pointer to a paper on the allegations of terrorism made mid-October by the New Zealand state in the context of police operations against Maori in the Tuhoe (North Island). The paper is Back in the Mists of Fear, by Moana Jackson, who founded the Nga Kaiwhakamarama I Nga Ture (the Maori Legal Service), and was also a judge on the Hawai`i International People's Tribunal in 1993.

You can write to Roy Ferguson, who's a career diplomat and the current NZ ambassador to the US, at 37 Observatory Circle, NW, Washington D.C. 20008, and ask if everyone from Aotearoa is a terrorist, or just the Pakeha (Anglo-Kiwi Settlers).

It helps if you squint your eyes and tilt your head and look at it ... sideways. If you look carefully you'll see it ... the European at the right of the frame is ... a skinhead!
