SOLO-NZ Press Release: "The Price of Liberty Is Eternal Vigilance"

October 16, 2007

The recent arrests, seizures of semi-automatic weapons, napalm bombs and the reports of 'Al-Qaeda style' training camps, reinforce the old adage that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance, says SOLO spokesman Lance Davey.

"This vigilance must not only encompass the need to be wary of gun-toting lunatics, 'peace activists', enviro-fascists and racist brown supremacists. While keeping an eye on those, we must not let our attention be drawn away from Fascism-Central, the New Zealand parliament.

"That the state has arrested the 'bad guys' does not instantly make them the 'good guys'. It is inevitable that the democratically-elected fascists will capitalise on these events to push for laws that would otherwise never be able to pass muster. We must not lose our heads, and we must not allow agenda-driven MPs to manipulate the masses into supporting anti-freedom legislation.

"New Zealand First MP Ron Mark has already raised the idea of abolishing the right to freedom of association. More calls for more state oppression of individual liberty will follow. People should not allow fear to
cloud their judgment.

"Whatever Tame Iti and his ilk were planning and training for was not peaceful protest. The nature of the groups involved—communist, eco-terrorist, brown supremacist, Islamo-fascist—and the reported weapons seizures puts paid to any idea of lawful protest. Groups such as those are fighting for one freedom only, the freedom to oppress others at the point of a gun. These self-described "freedom fighters" are fighters of freedom, not for it. They are enemies of individual liberty. But the enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend. This is still Nanny State that we are dealing with here, and she is still, for the most part, an evil old bitch."
