2019: “Let’s take his phallus”

September 17, 2019

By AHNZ

Here is a man who drew the line at a phallic carving being placed in his forest last year. Chief among his complaints is that a sexualisd carving was placed in public and in “plain view of children.” Mr and Mrs Wainwright are good people. Having exhausted every legal means in the book, Mr Wainwright retaliated with the same trick used by the other side: acted without mandate.

“Wainwright, 78, had denied a charge of intentional damage for chainsawing the phallus off the pou which was at the Woodville end of the Te Apiti walkway on April 17, but he was found guilty by Judge Lance Rowe at a defended hearing on July 22…the Te Apiti Governance Group had already allocated $10,000 to replace the pou.”- Tararua man fined for damaging Maori carving at Te Apiti walkway; Herald

Found guilty, he has now been sentenced to fork over $2,000. What happens next, I suppose, is a new $10,000 mega penis is going to be wanged onto the carving and unveiled with great ceremony. Can’t wait.

When Western and Christian monuments are defaced, as the regularly are, prosecutions seldom or never arise. Wainwright is different in that he stood behind his actions and faced the consequences. It’s also different in that this statue is new and in a public place against people’s will.

All peaceful recourse exhausted and all overtures ignored with disdain before the act of civil disobedience. Can the One-Tree-Hill chainsaw perpetrator say that? Can the graffiti artist of Captain Cook’s statue? Rather than prosecuted for vandalisation and publicly ridiculed, whoever defaced this sign of the Orakau battlesite gets public approval. It’s the header image for the State-sponsored Difficult Histories program.

“The destruction of history is not to be tolerated in any way shape or form.”

You say you don’t tolerate the destruction of history but you are. You’re destroying ancient Christian history, or backing those who do, in support of Maori history going back 10 or 20 years at most. It is the unmandated forest dick that is unhistorical in this scenario. Find another rationalisation for preferring ‘Māori’ Colonisation of New Zealand and I’ll listen!

“What do you mean Maori culture is only 10-20 years old? It is 800 -900 years old and had been in Aotearoa longer than the Christian colonisers.”

Maori culture is one thing but ‘Māori Culture’ is another. The later was contrived as a government programme in the last 30 years or so. New elements such as matariki (est.2001) and phallic carvings are being added all the time, vastly pre-dated by Maori Christian values themselves.

Show me your 800-900 year old evidence of carvings featuring out-of-proportion phallic imagery and you’ll help put this matter to rest. Hell, find one older than the 1970s and that’ll add something new to the conversation.

Funny kind of anarchist.”

Check again what side of this issue The State is on. And I don’t only mean the judiciary. And take a look again at all the smug mocking comments toward this old man standing up for his values. Threats to hurt him, jokes about his religion, slanders at his anatomy,….

The Anarchist History of New Zealand is not about being Politically Correct or joining in the Group Think but about disrupting it even if you’re the only one doing it.

Remember What You Have Said and Done

The following comments come from the New Zealand: History & Natural History thread on the topic (Facebook.) These people ought to be ashamed of themselves for ignorantly beating up on an old man. If it were a woman or a child or some minority being thrashed rather than an old white Christian man then such a storm of abuse would never have been permitted to stand.

Feeling part of a group stampede must bring a powerful feeling of belonging. Anarchists have no taste for it and were perhaps born without this particular bigotry brain receptor. For the record,-

Adam Richardson Yeah because apparently God doesn’t like penises

Michael Turnbull A Christian version of the Taliban.

Trudy Hudson What a dick

Nanny Ma What DiD he do with it after he cut it off?????

Jennifer Thomas Probably took it home to play with.

Ang White Daughter Disrespectful old coot

Dave Doggart Sounds like he needs an appointment with a shrink…

Adrian Smith Cut his off

Stephen Parker Ignorant!!!

Chris Nielsen I will remember this guy when anyone says ‘what’s the harm in religion’

Kahla Stevens Bet he’s using it

Raewynnes Bill Sandison Does anyone else find it funny that runs an organ museum ?

Madis Maenni Made me remind a waka I saw, both sides were lined with generations connected by genitals, shagging each other from first ancestor to 2019. It’s in Wellington museum, beautiful

Joshua Jurisich $2000? Try $200000 or $2000000… this prick took it upon himself to deface something that he had no right to do… what next? Send him to the Louvre with a coldchisel and mallet to whack the dicks off Michelangelos statues?

Whatuhuia Voller Well, false witness rite there, think at 78yrs old he would understand the difference which religious shite n spiritual relationship with JC

Eva Nicoletatos What arrogance and total disrespect.

Nige Windle Typical brain washed religious nut

Izaiah Karauna What a ‘DICK’ haha get it!!!!……Sorry

Nathan Cooper Izaiah Karauna yep god don’t want blokes to have dicks ,

Helen Burfield-Mills What incredible arrogance! Ffs!

Ryan Finlay Too many people like this claim religion take responsibility for your own actions this is your work you are not doing God’s work you are defacing things due to your own cultural ignorance

David Sceats I think I know where he keeps it

Martina Williams Dick

Allan John Fidler Christianity at it’s best. What denomination is he ?.

Enjoys Drreamernaps how dare he try to impose his deluded and outdated beliefs on everyone else!! if he wants to vandalize stuff he should go and hangout with isis. thats the sort of thing they do in the name of god

Steve Watson “Nowt strange as folk” the saying goes..Don’t think God is prudish when it comes to penises…lots in the Good Book about circumcision…and He slew Onan for.. well its in Genesis 38v8

Lindsay Bray At the end of the day it’s just a piece of wood why this outcry about nothing

Allan John Fidler You poor lonely old fogie.

Piripi Roxx Its called ,vandalism of property.

Wini Te Are Lindsay Bray really . So if I went into a Catholic church and cut off head that’s ok or the Statue of David chop off his penis I can use the phase just doing Gods Work. Racist comments are not welcomed

Lindsay Bray Wini Te Are you are quite welcome to because I’m an atheist

Julian Dobbie Its not about nothing it is about him imposing his view on all of us – and damaging a work which has its own intrinsic value. That’s vandalism.

Ang White Daughter Lindsay Bray clearly you both no absolutely nothing about Māori culture! Delusional old pricks!
Manage

Lindsay Bray Ang White Daughter perhaps the differences that I was taught 70 years ago not what The Waikato University has invented in the last 30 years and I always talk that it was only a piece of wood you could do what you like with it you could walk on it you could do anything and the mories themselves used to sell Kiding wood made out of the old Totara pa s

Kate Forrest Oh pulease! 🙄

Jenny Robinson Chop his off, if he has one.🤬🤬🤬

Marilyn Colwell Idiot.

Damien Jones Envy comes in many forms!😆🤣😄😉

Leslie Clifford Sometimes in my mind I change a noun to see if a different story emerges. So, imagine if a woman cut if off, with a chainsaw, and said she was doing God’s work . . . . .

Trish Honey If you didn’t carve it you have no right to do that.

Patrick Moanaroa bullshit

Carolyn Wait Self righteous prick!!!!!!~

Christine Halloran You sir are a ignorant person

Andrew Barclay Nell here. Using an imaginary story, as validation of your narcissistic views of the world around you, indicates total relinquishment of responsibility, as well as a stubborn refusal to acknowledge the damage your actions cause. You obviously have n…See more

Razzie Lee Religion is belief without fact, what a wanker.

Mark Sleeman The old “voices in my head” argument.

John Stuart Fruitloop.

Ron Panapa Deport

David Kohelath Funny how God always takes the form of whatever insane person is invoking it.

Reg Platt we could concoct a storey around ‘ organs’, and head into his workshop to decimate them, they reproduce moans etc totally immoral sounds. A penis is only that, the immorality is aroused in his own fertile imagination, spawned from an obsession with, well who knows what!

Lee Palmer Lol you just made that statue a GOD.lol.GOD hahaha omg…

David McCulloch What a dick, no pun intended

Darrell French Maybe he should cut the penis’s off those religious pedophiles and do society’s work for us

James Grigg Can’t have done too much damage to it, there’s a lovely photo above of the phallus wearing a blue shirt.

Susan Hutchison What an idiot.

Sharon Casserly He runs an organ museum?

Richard Kenneth Wilson You ignoramus , where are you from you …..love to meet you somewhere
Manage

Brenton Lett He should focus on sharing the gospels to the unsaved not vandalising other peoples property which God doesn’t approve of him doing. God sure understands we have genitals, he created them!

Andrew Cowsill What a dick.

Sue Nicholson God didn’t tell him to go around cutting up other people’s property. That’s his own sanctimonious view of the world. Creepy old man. would he do this to David or any of the naked marbles in Rome.

Jaymez Alexander You call yourself a Christian & you destoryed a carving with a penis. It wasn’t yours. You had no right to use a chainsaw.

Lesley Palmer For gods sake man get a grip

MeriSonno JohnCaroline Huia Idiot.

Nigel Worters If the penis is so offensive in the eyes of the Lord perhaps he should have used the aforementioned utensil to remove his own protuberance first. Afterall if one must make a moral stand then ones own sin must be sacrificed first.

Terence Andrew Coleman He really just stole it for his organ museum !

Ayres Pacheco Moura A stupid make stupidest!!!

Paul Irving Seems it’s only Maori genitals he finds offensive. Sounds more race related than puritanical.

Deborah Whitburn Horrible man, how dare you deface a beautiful piece of art

Rae Tuttle So stupid . No one else was offended by the beautiful piece of art and I am pretty sure God wasn’t either. He needs to get a freaking life, silly old fool…..Does he know how many pieces of art around the world that have a penis on them and no one has…See more

Terry Lambert God talked to Moses through a burning bush. Why is god talking to me through this flaming idiot?

David Fielding What a dick!

Jessie Hall David Fielding that’s probably what he said too once he’d cut it off and looked at it in his hand!! He’s a bigot and idiot!!

Fallon Jones Go to Rome and do that. See how far you’d be able to get away with that. Immensely disrespectful.

Sam Mariner Well Christian’s do mutilate the genitals of their baby boys i.e circumcision

Lee Nicholls Sam Mariner it’s Judaism

David Read Lee Nicholls both wrong. Back in the day it was widely believed that being “cut” was more hygienic. It should be noted that at that time bathing once a week was considered normal!

Lee Nicholls This is why you don’t narrowly focus on an ideology like religion or culture, common sense goes out the window.

Nick Snowden Why cut a penis off???? All males have one “god” gave them to us to reproduce. Muppet

Andie KH Why is this getting so much air time?

Scott Grey smfh

Aaron Adams Wether you Christian or not we all have penises and use them as well I think this is frikn rude go get a life m8 and I hope your dick gets cut off and you suffer in hell.

Daniel Hāpuku “Exhausted by the superior quality of the wood….” jealousy perhaps?

Guy Thompson Hell yeah!

Thaddeus Jones Let’s take his phallus.

Rana Atama Adams go do it somewhere else, you DICKHEAD!!!

Trevylls Travels Stop giving this loser air time

Jac Walters Need to b MEDICATED OLD MAN so ask yur self how did u BEGAT hmmm ??

You are a man, do you not have a penis ! Sex is for pleasure and to procreate you ignominious man. How the heck do you think you got here…it took a penis to make you !!

Helena Fredericks You were doing your own work u clown

Murray Olsen He was obviously scared by the size.

Chriss Hamilton Ignorance and selfishness is not Christian.

Angel Love Old man needs sterilising

Denise Te Pou Ignorant old man
