The
75 strong Gallipoli contingent, made up of 50 NZDF personnel and 25 Youth
Ambassadors, has arrived at Canakkale, Turkey to take part in the 100th
commemorations on Anzac Day. The team is made of a catafalque guard and members
of the Defence Force band and Maori Culture Group, as well as a support group
from Veterans' Affairs New Zealand.
Having
travelled in a Royal New Zealand Air Force Boeing 757, the team is now
rehearsing and looking forward to being involved in the Gallipoli

About Anzac Day New Zealand
On 25th of April Nzers bring out the poppies,their families
& head to the nearest War Memorials & Cenotaphs in their towns to
commemorate those New Zealanders men & women who gave their lives in war.It
also honours those service men & women who made it home.
Every city every town in New Zealand Anzac Day remains rich in tradition
& ritual.
Australia and New Zealand conduct three commemorative services at
Gallipoli on Anzac Day each year. The Dawn Service at the Anzac Commemorative
Site is jointly conducted by both countries and is followed by an Australian
Memorial Service at Lone Pine, and a New Zealand Memorial Service at Chunuk
Bair.
ANZAC
(Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day is the anniversary of the landing
of troops from Australia and New Zealand on the Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey, in
World War I on April 25, 1915. The bravery of all military personnel who
participated in this campaign and the lives of those who died in all military
actions are remembered.
Today's U.S. Marine
Corps officers' Mameluke sword closely resembles those first worn in 1826.
Marine Corps history
states that a sword of this type was presented to Marine First Lieutenant
Presley O'Bannon by the Ottoman Empire viceroy, Prince Hamet, on December 8,
1805, during the First Barbary War, as a gesture of respect and praise for the
Marines' actions at the Battle of Derne.

This post is about
the current conflict in the Middle East and
called the Mamluk Plan B
I have listened to
the honourable John Key Prime Minister of NZ publicly calling on New Zealanders
to support the Allies in the Middle East
Crisis.
Recently a well
spoken well informed member of the public service a leader in her community
with known political leanings made comment to a question of whether somebody
with an indigenous background should be brought in to deal with any issues in a
matter of a similar but lesser ethnic dilemma.
We are all the same
Her response was
that she felt it was unnecessary. If I didn’t know the woman I would have known
she was a western client by that answer. In her mindset we are all the same.
She was raised a westerner and is not able to think bilaterally.
My WVP – we are not
all the same
Some relevant
examples in point to do with food :
Question/s
If I opened a kina ,a
sea urchin straight from the ocean, divide with a bowie knife straight down the
centre of the animal it is still alive through its eye and laid it on a plate could
you eat it?
If I knocked a
kangaroo on its head with a boomerang then threw it on an open fire as is in
due course it would be cooked, pulled it from the fire and waited till it
cooled then ate it like barbecued chicken. Could you eat that?
How about lambs?
Dock their tails chuck them in the red hot coals of an open fire as with the
‘roo’ dish finger lickin’ goodstuff.Could you eat them?
Answer
Possibly not, unless
you have an acquired taste for it.Yet they are normal cuisine to people of
other cultures in this case the food of Maori (NZ) Koori (Australia)
Conflict without
resolution
How many countries
how many nations how many people have tried to squash this conflict with little
to no success?
How can W E help?
NZ doesn’t really
have an army an airforce and a navy.
Skeleton staff only
It’s a bit
ridiculous I know but I think we only have a couple of old boats probably
skeletal as well.
I know we have some
magnificent flying machines from WW1 & 2
We do have a tall
ship & Team NZ
Do we even have a
submarine or an aircraft carrier?
Well besides all
that we have excellent man power maybe 50 max
Next Question
Do we even know who
they are?
Do we have a
specific country to go to?
What’s the timeline?
Whats the job?
Whats the job
description?
Who is in charge?
Who’s paying or can
we borrow some planes boats aircraft uniforms guns or peace sticks ,shit why
not throw in some grundies!
The big question is
it one conflict or a leadup to more
Guys lets be
realistic
How can W E help?
We have squillions
of sheep and cows apples and kiwifruit maybe supply food act as a medi vac
country.
Think about it.
Index of terminology
used and their description
The Clients -the
people involved in this conflict, the friendly and the unfriendly natives
We shall not be
using the current terms given to the unfriendly groups for one reason-they
already have an identity a culture a heritage and an ancestry they have
ancestors so ISIS and the other terms are
contemporary recently newly formed names & logos. These people already have
a long history we shall come to that later.I noticed the President has come to
a similar conclusion and he is correct the fact that they claim to be Islamic
and protecting their religious rights is a misnomer and is a distraction from
the underlying problem. We all came from ancestors there is no history of an ISIS group or the others. So we can assume it’s a marketing
technique logo etc. as they steal children women and men and have formed their
own slave army.
Plan A
The Western Plan
Plan B
The Tribal Plan
Indigenous
How does a tribal
plan an indigenous plan differ from Plan A the western approach?
To understand the
underlying problems and causes you need to know what the problem is.
W h o are T H E Y?
ISIS etc is not an answer.
it is why you are getting nowhere.
My WVP
Its like getting on
a bus and when the driver asks you for your destination you answer “I don’t
know” and at present the people of NZ are asking
Where are we going?
Who are we going to
do (x) with?
What with?
Yes I agree we
cannot stand back and just watch.
Perhaps we better
think about it before we catch a bus to nowhere which is what everyone else
appears to be doing
Thank you for
joining us today.

Parliament marks the
poignant moment with the Armistice Memorial Commemoration Ceremony
Events are being
held today around New Zealand to mark the end of the First World War.
The First World War
came to a close with the signing of an armistice between Germany and the
Allied Powers on November 11, 1918. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the
11th month, the guns famously fell silent.
In Wellington this morning, members of the
Defence Force lined up outside Parliament ahead of a minute's silence in the
Legislative Council Chamber.
It would have been
an awesome sight today in Wellington.
The eleventh hour of
the eleventh day of the eleventh month
The Armistice - an agreement to stop fighting - was signed between France, Britain,
and Germany
on 11th November 1918, bringing four years of fighting in the First World War
to an end.
The Armistice was an agreement signed by representatives of France, Great
Britain and Germany. It was an agreement to end
fighting as a prelude to peace negotiations. The Treaty of Versailles signed six months later would act
as the peace treaty between the nations. Although "armistice" is used
as a term to describe any agreement to end fighting in wars, "The Armistice" commonly refers to the agreement to end the fighting of
the First World War.
The Armistice began at on 11th November 1918 at 11am (French time) -
the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. The Armistice
itself was agreed 6 hours earlier at 5am with the first term of it being that
fighting would end at 11am.
The signing of The Armistice took
place in Ferdinand Foch's railway carriage in the Forest
of Compiègne, about 37 miles (60 km)
north of Paris.
The location was chosen as it was remote and discreet. Ferdinand Foch was a
French military commander who was one of the people who signed the Armistice.
In 1940, another
armistice was signed in the same railway carriage in the Forest of Compiègne.
This time it was Germany
forcing France
to sign an agreement to end fighting against them in World War Two, which was
essentially a French surrender. To add to the deliberate humiliation further,
Adolf Hitler sat in the same seat that Ferdinand Foch sat in in 1918. The
carriage was taken and exhibited in Germany, but was destroyed in 1945.
The Armistice was designed to end the fighting of World War One, and
the terms of it would make it impossible for Germany to restart the war, at
least in the short term. They were ordered to give up 2,500 heavy guns, 2,500
field guns, 25,000 machine guns, 1,700 aeroplanes and all submarines they
possessed (they were originally asked to give up more submarines than they
actually had!). They were also asked to give up several warships and disarm all
of the ones that they were allowed to keep.
If Germany broke any
of the terms of the Armistice, such as not evacuating areas they were ordered to
evacuate, not handing over weapons or prisoners of war in the timescales given
or causing damage to any individual or their property, fighting would begin
again with 48 hours notice.
Germany was ordered
to provide information about the location of mines or traps they had placed and
reveal what other things they had deliberately destroyed or caused damage too
(such as polluting or poisoning springs or wells).
By signing The Armistice and the Treaty of Versailles, Germany were made to accept the blame for the First
World War and would have to pay reparations for the damage caused, estimated to
total about £22 billion ($35 billion, €27 billion) in current money. It was
only in 2010 that Germany
paid off its war debt, with a final payment of £59 million ($95 million, €71
million).
Whereas Germany viewed the terms of the Armistice, and the Treaty of Versailles signed the following year, as too harsh, the French saw
it as too lenient.
Armistice Day,
Remembrance Day or Veterans Day is commemorated in
many countries involved in the First World War on November 11th every year or
on the Sunday nearest to it (or, as is becoming more common, on both days).
Several countries remember the people lost during the First World War and other
wars by holding a two minute silence at 11am on that day.
In the United Kingdom,
Remembrance Day ceremonies have been televised every year since 1946,
although the first live broadcast was in 1937.
ALL proceeds from the sale of this
single will go to Help For Heroes and The Royal British Legion.
A cast of 200 Donate their Time to
Raise Money In Abbey Road Studios Biggest Ever Recording Session
"We will remember them, Give
thanks and honour them, For our tomorrow, They gave their today"
Music stars have gathered to record a
moving tribute to British Armed Forces past and present.
On Sunday 1st November 200 people
spilled into Abbey Road
Studios, donating their time and talent to record an Anthem as a Thank You to
all our Military personnel who have served our country protecting our freedom.
This was the biggest ever 1 day session
to be staged at Abbey Road
in the history of the famous recording studios.
Multi-million selling artists from
Michael Bolton to Robin Gibb, to Hayley Westenra contributed to the song,
written by A1's Mark Read and Robert Hart (Bad Company, Distance, The Jones
Gang).
They performed alongside The Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra, Pipes & Drums from the Army School of Bagpipe Music
and Drumming, Bugles from The Academy of Music at Kneller Hall, a Choir of
Celebrities and the Carmel Thomas Youth Choir.
Paul Carrack, Kenny Jones, Paul
Rodgers, Lee Mead, Mark Read, Mica Paris, Natasha Hamilton, Haley Westenra,
Carol Decker, Nell Bryden and Liz McClarnon also starred.
"I never miss an opportunity to
thank our troops," said Michael Bolton, who dropped everything while
rehearsing for performances at the Royal Albert Hall this week to take part.
"They are the bravest people you'll ever meet."
'We Will Remember Them itself goes back
to the the first world war', explains Robin Gibb, 'but it's very significant
and it makes people stop and think just what these guys are doing for their
country'.
Joseph star Lee Mead: 'Two or three
hours in a recording studio on a Sunday is nothing compared to what our troops
go through every day'
'I know people out there in the
military, someone close to me was in Afghanistan and was blown up in his tank,'
says Natasha Hamilton os Atomic Kitten, 'He has been in rehabilitation for many
months. When it's someone that you know that's been out there fighting, it
brings it home how important it is to remember through song.'
ALL proceeds go directly to the Royal
British Legion and the Help For Heroes charity by SRLV Accountants and Coutts
Bank. The money will help support injured troops and their families whose loved
ones have paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country.
"This is an appeal to raise funds
to help and support the families who have lost or suffered horrendous injuries
in their Military service", says Kenny Jones. "In addition, the
Anthem will also remember all our Service Men and Women from all past
conflicts."
In addition to the musicians and
Artists involved in the recording, a 30 man film crew with 9 cameras donated
their time and have documented this auspicious occasion. A video / DVD will
also support the release of the single.
