New Zealand Times
If NameBase ever starts a fan club, it might be easiest to locate the
headquarters in New Zealand (they prefer "Aotearoa"). Activists there have
a keen sense of progressive nationalism and are constantly on guard against
the threat of foreign control. They monitor multinational investments,
free-trade agreements imposed from the outside, and international labor
organizations with their intelligence connections. In 1987 the U.S. cut
back on political contacts with New Zealand when its liberal government
banned nuclear weapons and nuclear-powered ships from their waters. In 1990
the conservatives took office and relations were improving by early 1994.
But the government of Prime Minister Jim Bolger still doesn't plan to
repeal the "nuclear-free zone," which is widely supported there.
NameBase is used by New Zealand activists to check out the numerous
visitors from various U.S. government and private organizations, as well
as keeping an eye out for possible CIA and KGB connections. For years these
activists have campaigned to shut down foreign spy-satellite stations and
military bases. They suspect that powerful globalist forces see New Zealand
as just another strategic plaything in the Pacific, and it makes these
activists nervous and defensive.
