Mike Butler a close friend of John Ansell\u00a0is from the anti-Maori pressure\u00a0group\u00a0NZCPR (New Zealand centre of political research) a radical organisation committed \u00a0to undermining anything awarded to Maori as an attack on Pakeha\u00a0rights. \u00a0The NZ Herald<\/a>\u00a0yesterday decided to ask Mike Butler to critique Gareth Morgan who I admit is clumsily looking for solutions.<\/p>\n

Butler is the most conniving member of the entrenched \u00a0Treaty hate movement\u00a0his\u00a0research into Maori history intentionally\u00a0skewed \u00a0to fit his agenda of British colonists being the victims of colonisation. The evidence being Butler has written hundreds of articles that denigrate Maori and has never\u00a0written a balanced article that\u00a0admits colonisation is an unmitigated disaster.<\/p>\n

\"Mike-Pic\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the Herald Butler describes Iwi \u00a0as \u201cThe newly rich tribal corporations<\/em>\u201d and\u00a0points out that Ngai Tahu are receiving a top up but neglected to mention Ngai Tahu had as much land confiscated as the size of England and Wales combined. Butler referred to Treaty settlements as “New Zealand’s Treaty of Waitangi gravy train<\/em>” despite\u00a0the\u00a0only gravy train to occur in New Zealand was the confiscation of private Maori land in 1863.<\/p>\n

\"littlwwood\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Herald article Butler refers to the littlewood paper a\u00a0few personal\u00a0notes\u00a0found in Manurewa south auckland \u00a0in 1989. The treaty hate movement have declared\u00a0the littlewood paper a Treaty. \u00a0The problem being it\u00a0has\u00a0no signatures to qualify as a Treaty. The Littlewood paper has a single purpose not to celebrate our nations history but to undermine Treaty settlements. In the Herald article Butler uses a cunning ploy to\u00a0refer to the little wood paper in place of the\u00a0\u00a0official Maori version of the Treaty of Waitangi.<\/p>\n

In Butler’s alternate history\u00a0that \u00a0land confiscation was consensual he ignore’s Maori suffering during the Land wars and New Zealand settlements Act 1863. In fact Butler has the audacity to portray history as British colonists<\/a> were being oppressed while confiscating private Maori land. He rewrites history that justifies the\u00a0extermination<\/a> of Tuhoe and explains land confiscations was deserved.<\/p>\n

Butler a colonisation apologist with a low tolerance of Maori culture according to Butlers revised history, Maori should be grateful for the blessing of colonisation and attempted to sell all of their private land and put up no resistance to land confiscations.\u00a0\u00a0His solution to Treaty settlements is\u00a0Pakeha New Zealand need to stop this policy of what he calls “appeasement”. Butler simply ignores\u00a0Treaty settlements are only 2% value of\u00a0confiscated private real estate and the payments are to 37 Iwi over 25 year period.\u00a0Butler is vindictive and not prepared to write a unprejudice balanced articles that see Maori perspectives of colonisation or even consult Iwi about our own history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
