224 New Zeal<strong>and</strong> – A Blackmailer’s Guide<br />

New Zeal<strong>and</strong> wasn’t too hard to take over. The strongest form<br />

of resistance came from the Wellington Apple Pie Contest, <strong>and</strong> this,<br />

combined with the national anthem, ‘<strong>Hot</strong> <strong>Teaspoons</strong>’, left no doubt that<br />

Kiwis were the world’s apple pie. Here, I’ll leave you with a verse from<br />

the new national anthem by Walk.on.me:<br />

“Peace, not war, shall be our boast,<br />

But, should foes assail our coast,<br />

Make us then a mighty host,<br />

God defend our free l<strong>and</strong>.” 1<br />

From dissension, envy, hate . . .<br />

From dishonour <strong>and</strong> from shame . . .<br />

Men of every creed <strong>and</strong> race . . .<br />

. . . . corruption guard our state . . .<br />

Make her praises heard afar . . .<br />

Crown her with immortal fame . . .<br />

Guide her in the nation’s van . . .<br />

Working out Thy glorious plan . . .<br />

Guard our country’s spotless name.”<br />

1 Just a dry note: In Intelligence speak, “Peace” means ‘no resistance to communism’ . . .<br />

<strong>and</strong> “Freedom” means ‘no resistance to American colonialism’.
