OPERATION 8 - Trailer

OPERATION 8: Deep in the forest .
On October 15, 2007 activists around New Zealand woke to guns in their faces. Black-clad police smashed down doors, dragging families out onto roads and detaining some without food or water. In the village of Ruatoki, helicopters hovered while locals were stopped at roadblocks. Operation 8 involved 18 months of invasive surveillance of Maori sovereignty and peace activists accused of attending terrorist training camps in the Urewera ranges -- homeland of the Tuhoe people. Operation 8 asks why and how the raids took place. How did the War on Terror become a global witch-hunt of political dissenters reaching even to the South Pacific?

@CuttingFilm I missed it. I really really want to watch it. This whole Operation 8 is bull shit. The crown is still the same that they were all those years ago. Assimilation or else. It’s bull shit !

Meanwhile within the surrounding and @ the same time Whakatane, Kawerau, Tauranga,Rotorua, Taneatua etc Criminal organisations and some gangmembers are loaded up with various firearms and methamphetaimine and untold amounts of money...good one NZ police....what a fukkn waste of time you bunch of dumassz!

[BOLDBILLY]

And anutha, the Deputy president of NZ Law Commision when asked a question about the NZ Police transcript of a supposed assassination plot against George Bush (if he ever visited NZ) by these so called terrorists, answers the question "how was this assination meant to happen" his answer with a wry smile " by catapulting a bus onto his head".(according to police transcripts)...hahaha

[BOLDBILLY]

Typical NZ Police baffoone styled Keystone Coppery behaivour its almost comical, Classic a bro reliving a raid tells us about the AOS putting a chainsaw to his gate...and then points to a wide opening at the other end and sez "I dont know why they didnt come in that way".

[MrJordabro]
