The US is bombing random boats and murdering people from the sky in its fake war on 'narco-terrorism' - now it is gearing up for serious regime change - JUST LIKE IRAQ - it is a war for oil and for US domination and control. NZ must stand up to this imperial thuggery. #NoNZsupportforwar

Peace Action Wellington completely opposes the opening of a US FBI office in Aotearoa New Zealand. The decision by the NZ government to allow a foreign country’s police force to operate here is terrifying.
