Blobbers are people, organisations or companies who publicly announce that they support various aspect of the Treaty which are unsubstantiated by facts. Examples are "honouring the Treaty", or supporting "the principles of the Treaty" or "co-governance". None of those concepts or slogans has any basis in fact . Ask a Blobber what "the principles of the Treaty" are, or to define "co-governance.
The origin of the expression Blob can be found here:
https://thetreatyfacts.blogspot.com/p/the-blob.html
The motivation of Bloggers may not be sinister and they may believe that they are exercising their democratic right to free speech. They may not understand that the slogans they are endorsing have no foundation in fact or law, and that they are undermining the democratic principles of our nation.
However, by promoting misinformation about the Treaty and supporting principles that undermine the democratic principles on which the constitution of New Zealand is based, they become part of "the Blob".
The strategy of the Blob is to change our constitution from one person one vote, to introduce racial preference into decision-making, to change the names of our country and towns, and to compel us to learn te reo. All of this is to be achieved by pressure from the Blob, with any resistance branded publicly as "racist" so that any resistance is eventually suppressed and the new order succeeds the old.
The Blob acts like a Fifth Column. That is a group of people who undermine our nation from within, They can act openly or covertly and use disinformation, threats and eventually violence to quell resistance.
The Blob in New Zealand also include most of the main stream media, the government, and many organisations and people.
Those organisations that supported the open letter to the government (referred to on the Blob page) acknowledged "the severe and ongoing injustices of colonisation" and encouraged the government to meet its UNDRIP obligations are shown below.
