Who's to blame for John Wanoa?

John Wanoa was all over newspapers and television news bulletins last week, after he and a group of uniformed men raided an office in downtown Auckland and forced the men and women working there outside. After he posted footage of this 'eviction' online, Wanoa was quickly arrested and charged with trespass, forcible entry, and assault. 
Wanoa's been described in the media as a 'Maori rights protester' pursuing some sort of Treaty claim, but he is actually a paranoid eccentric who has borrowed conspiracy theories about ancient civilisations from the far right of Pakeha politics. 
When I encountered John Wanoa back in 2009 he was claiming to be Moriori rather than Maori, and was busy recycling a set of myths and stereotypes that had been the stock in trade of Pakeha rednecks for a century. I wrote this post about Wanoa's attempts to appropriate Moriori history. Wanoa responded with a series of decreasingly coherent messages. He told me about his plans to build a tidal power generator, and informed me that the famous stone statues of Rapa Nui are able to levitate and move about that island. 

More recently, Wanoa has taken to claiming descent from a technologically sophisticated civilisation that supposedly existed on Rapa Nui and in Africa thousands of years ago. He has also suggested that the Treaty of Waitangi historians and lawyers acknowledge is a fake document. According to Wanoa, a secret, long-suppressed version of the Treaty confirms his worldview and entitles him to political and economic control over New Zealand. Wanoa currently claims to be the king of New Zealand and Britain, and has somehow attracted followers in both countries (here's a surreal statement by a supporter in Brighton). 
I don't think it is a coincidence that right-wing Pakeha conspiracy theorists like Martin Doutre like to talk about elaborate and forgotten ancient civilisations on Rapa Nui, or Easter Island, as they invariably call it, and that Doutre and co insist that the true version of the Treaty of Waitangi has been hidden from New Zealanders. 

Wanoa may soon find himself moving from prison to the Mason clinic, or some other psychiatric facility. When Clare Swinney, another New Zealand author of elaborate conspiracy theories, was committed to a psychiatric ward a few years ago, she condemned her treatment as politically motivated. In an interview with an American conspiracy theorist, Swinney described the hospital where she was treated as a 'communist' institution, and complained that the New Zealand government was attempting to brainwash her. Wanoa's supporters would probably be credulous enough to accept a similar claim from him.


John Wanoa has no more to do with Maori activism than Clare Swinney. Like Swinney, he's the victim of a subculture of conspiracy theory and paranoia that has flourished in New Zealand like some exotic and noxious weed.

He got plenty of support from a similar paranoid delusional narcissist who purposely went into Theology school only to spend the balance of his life demonizing the Catholic Church. Wanoa used Kevin Annett's work in an attempt to legitimize his claims, but took Annett's call for sherriffs and marshals to enforce the 'common-law' word for word. Anywhere you see calls for sovereignty and 'liberty' you will find someone who ensorses and uses Kevin Annett as a reference. Unfortunately, he may be what the Natives in this country accuse him of....an agent for CSIS whose job it is to disrupt activists and their movements. Several of those who were affiliated with Annett now are in trouble with the law: Santos Bonacci, Dean Clifford, and Wanoa among others...

Thanks for that information on Kevin Annett anon: I'd never heard of the man before. These anti-Catholic conspiracy theories are a sad business, partly because they may undermine rational and legitimate criticisms of the church.

How many people or cultures need to be killed by the catholic church for you to believe something isnt right? Why does rome not give to the needy instead of hoarding riches? Examine the history of your church objectively. Why are churches not used as homeless shelters, that is what scripture ACTUALLY calls for. Not golden mother marys sorry guy

Then you should be looking at Philipino Rose. The 'wife'. She is no more his wife than Linda O from Ghana was hahaha. Rosemarie Flores. Had a registered company in the Uk up to Nov last year when it was finally liquidated. I suspect thats why he went over there before his UK trip - Tie it up because things didn't move as quick as scammily planned lol. Would have been a nice offshore shell company for deposits eh? On FB: Flores Mines, Mines Flores, Rosemarie Flores. You choose. Silly girl links herself and Wanoa on all of them lol. Be interesting to see if another one starts up after this Philly trip he is going on shortly. Interesting to see Mr Bowden and Mr Williams are still liking the scammers posts. Tho the likey profiles look sussily fake. Enjoy your day firebreath.

E nga kai ana koe i nga kai o te kuri. Upokokohua.
People like you stomp on the pride of our people and you have no respect.
You are a nobody and need to be shot and put in the ground like a dog.

Get the declaration of independence out of your head as we in the time of the treaty of waitangi.

Just remember if it wasn't for her majesty queen Victoria we would have all been wiped out.

Understand colonialism and why it happened.

We are in a better place now and we dont need your crazy kind.
