Yes you are right a majority of the wealth is and does go overseas when mining takes place which does suck BIG TIME but who do we blame for that, the bloody Crown. The one thing I cant understand is they make it so damn hard for any of us to go and have a bit of fun for a weekend without spending a ridiculous amount of money having to have a claim, its not like we are going to bring in the diggers and 6 foot trommels but they are prepared to give it away to an overseas company that has millions to spend every year. It pisses me off as much as you trust me there, the only thing I am grateful for is that they are putting some money into the local economy of a small town and the surrounding area. The area they are in and looking at is spectacular for sure, I went up there last weekend and it is stunning to say the least and I would hate to see it look like the way you describe down south. I dont mean to sound like I would give them the go ahead but I like that they are bringing some finance in instead of none.
Well it pleases me that you wrote that but sadly this is why locals support them - it brings some short term employment and wealth into the local economy - I have seen this country go from a country that belonged to you and me to one that belongs to the receivers - the International bankers - if ALL new Zealanders put a stranglehold on the government, forced them out and put in a peoples government, sworn to protect the country from the big Internationals, create wealth for the New Zealanders by telling the International bankers to get stuffed - they have been repaid many times over and put the money that would otherwise be used to repay a debt which has already been paid dozens of time over into the local economy then we would ALL be better off - not just the locals but all New Zealanders and the wealth thus mined would stay here as a hedge against poverty and bargaining power off shore.
Modern society and the younger generation cannot see that they are actually being enslaved because they have no benchmark to compare with - lets go to 1960 and consider it - you could walk down the road to the gun shop down the main street with your rifle and no one cared, you could go hunting anywhere you liked within reason and it was so easy to get permission, no farmer cared if you crossed his place, prospected in the river, fished, camped and did what you liked as long as you respected property...and you could go and buy a miners right for five shillings and then go gold fossicking any where you liked on crown land, they didn't force you to wear helmets on your bike, they didnt bring in all these little laws ostensibly in YOUR interests but no matter how you look at it they are gradually, subliminally eroding your rights and your FREEDOM.
This is NOT gods own country - it is not your country - it belongs to the International bankers and all decisions are made in their interests - selling land to offshore interests, selling state assets to offshore interests, selling the fisheries to offshore interests through 'joint' fishing ventures. allowing offshore mining companies to mine OUR land and take OUR gold offshore - who gets Macraes Gold? - Rothschilds I understand - who are the International bankers - they include the Rothschilds - funny that dont you think?...and what do we do? Nothing! What good is all this wealth going to do them? In the end no good but in the meantime we suffer.
