Two Academic Communists Snub Afrikaner Family Seeking Refugee Status

(L) Dr Dennis Laumann, and (R) Professor Mark Behr

A white Afrikaner family is seeking refugee status in the United States, claiming they will be victims of racism if they return to South Africa.

When their lawyer tried to get academics in the US to give credence to their claim, one of the academics, Dr Dennis Laumann, of the University of Memphis, provided the following response:

"I am not interested in assisting Afrikaners claiming discrimination in a non-racial, democratic, post-apartheid South Africa." - Dr Dennis Laumann

Despite the fact that several similar applications for asylum have been successful in the past, Laumann’s outlook was supported by another academic, Professor Mark Behr, of Rhodes College, in Memphis, Tennessee.

According to latest statistics from the US Department of Homeland Security, about 129 South Africans were granted asylum between 2001 and 2010.

The full timeslive news report can be read further down in this posting.

So who exactly are these so-called “academics”, who are refusing to assist this family, and who claim that South Africa is a non-racial democratic country?

Shall we start with Dr Dennis Laumann?

According to this source Dennis Laumann is an Associate Professor of African history at The University of Memphis. He was born and raised in New York to parents who emigrated from Germany. His interests in politics, history, journalism, and travel were nurtured through public education from elementary school on Long Island to graduate school at UCLA. He is a member of the Communist Party USA and Local 3865 of the United Campus Workers-Communication Workers of America.

Laumann’s name also pops up on Wikipedia’s page dealing with a book publishing company based in New York City called, “International Publishers”, specializing in Marxist works of economics, political science, and history. The company was established in 1924 by A.A. Heller and Alexander Trachtenberg, using funds earned through a lucrative trade concession granted during the New Economic Policy by the government of Soviet Russia. The publisher has continued to maintain an extremely close working relationship with the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) throughout its more than eight decades of existence. According to Wikipedia Dennis Laumann recently authored a document calling for a new edition of The Communist Manifesto targeted to the academic market… (Need I say more?)

Professor Mark Behr?

The easy searchable pages of Wikipedia reveal that this man was an Afrikaans traitor who turned double agent and spied on the South African government on behalf of the African National Congress. So - with that said, I believe there’s also no need to say anymore.

Here’s the full story as published in The Times newspaper:

'We want out of SA'

NASHIRA DAVIDS | 22 February, 2012 00:31

A South African family is desperate to remain in the US, its members claiming they cannot return home because, as Afrikaners, they will be subject to racial discrimination.

The family's legal representative has been contacting US academics in a bid to get a scholarly opinion that would bolster the asylum application.

The family, described by the law firm as "white Afrikaner farmers", is among dozens of South Africans who, over the past decade, have applied for asylum abroad for a range of reasons, including fear of persecution and violent crime. Some of the applications have been successful.

When contacted for comment, the family's lawyer, Rehim Babaoglu, said the family was too afraid to be identified.

"They were shocked to hear that a reporter was seeking information and they have no comment. They definitely don't want to participate because of privacy and safety concerns," said Babaoglu.

But Professor Mark Behr, of Rhodes College, in Memphis, Tennessee, and Dr Dennis Laumann, of the University of Memphis, have rejected requests that they help the family.

"I am not interested in assisting Afrikaners claiming discrimination in a non-racial, democratic, post-apartheid South Africa," wrote Laumann.

"In my scholarly opinion, there is absolutely no basis for their allegation - whatever evidence they may present."

Behr - who is an award-winning South African author - said he did not believe the law firm would find "any fair-minded scholar" to support the family.

"If the people your firm seeks to represent are in any way victims of racism, it is, sadly, only a racism of their own making, in their own minds.

"Let me add, too, that I speak as a white Afrikaner, from a family of farmers, people who themselves lost farms they owned in Africa, and with my own profound empathy for all people who live off the land in South Africa," replied Behr.

But the family is not alone in attempting to flee post-apartheid South Africa:

According to latest statistics from the US Department of Homeland Security, about 129 South Africans were granted asylum between 2001 and 2010;
Immigration New Zealand's general manager for settlement, protection and attraction, Stephen Dunstan, said 48 South Africans had applied for refugee status since 2006. All were rejected; and
Germany's Federal Office for Migration and Refugees received nine applications for asylum between 2009 and 2011.

Russell Kaplan, the lawyer for South African Brandon Huntley, who is still fighting for refugee status in Canada, said the trend was growing.

"My office is involved in other South African claims - I prefer not to say how many - and I continue to speak to many white South Africans every month who report increasing fear for themselves and their families," Kaplan said.

Gary Eisenberg, who specialises in immigration law, said that, though the topic was complex, he believed that many applicants had a valid case.

"There exist, for instance, entry quotas for whites at universities, and BEE policies restricting the hiring of white candidates in the private sector," said Eisenberg.

"If these measures could be interpreted to be state-sponsored or supported discrimination based on colour or race classification, for example, then a well-founded case of discrimination on those facts could be made in terms of the asylum rules of Western countries, such as the UK, Canada and the US."

But Eisenberg said it would be difficult for someone to apply for asylum on the basis that he felt that the state supported or sponsored the high levels of crime in the country.

Adriana Stuijt, a retired Dutch-born journalist who worked in South Africa, estimates that there are almost 800 South Africans living as refugees around the world.

Stuijt has a blog that monitors the number of refugees and is a member of the Afrikaner Rescue Action Fund, which was started in the Netherlands to help poor Afrikaner communities.

"The latest case, a South African Afrikaans-speaking man of German descent, is in north Germany. He applied three months ago. He fled because of many violent incidents and threats to his life," said Stuijt.

"The latest group of asylum-seekers, from 2011 and 2012, I find are often Afrikaner individuals or families, most of them from farming regions.

"Some are sponsored by US families and religious communities and are still in the asylum process in several states."

AfriForum's deputy CEO, Ernst Roets, said that though the organisation did not encourage South Africans to leave the country, the crisis on the farms has left many with no alternative.

Roets said San Pedro Sula, Honduras, has the highest murder rate in the world - 159 murders per 100000 inhabitants.

"In South Africa, to be a farmer, the murder rate is more than 300 per 100000, according to criminologists," said Roets.

"What encourages people to ask for refugee status is the fact that our government is not taking real steps to address the issue.''

Just this week, a dairy farmer was killed and his wife badly injured in Buffelshoek, North West.

Roets travelled to Geneva in December to address the UN Human Rights Council on the crisis on South African farms. He said the biggest concern was that a minority group was being targeted.

His intention, he said, was to create awareness and put pressure on the government to "take this more seriously".

But Lucy Holborn, research manager at the SA Institute of Race Relations, said statistics did not back up arguments that, by virtue of being a minority group, Afrikaners were more likely to be crime targets.

"The majority of victims of crime in South Africa are black . I often argue that crime is the one thing that cuts across all race groups," said Holborn.

She said there was not sufficient evidence to suggest that crime in farming communities was racially motivated.

Dave Steward, executive director of the FW de Klerk Foundation, said South Africa, despite "some threats" to basic human rights, such as the Protection of State Information Bill, was a long way from being in a situation where people should be seeking asylum.

"The situation on the farms [is] fairly critical but whether that is a result of government activity - often the requirement for political asylum - is another matter."

Yesterday, Home Affairs spokesman Ronnie Mamoepa said it was impossible to say how many South Africans made asylum or refugee applications.

North West farmer shot dead

2012-02-20T16:46:00.001+02:00

Crime Scene? I think not... War-zone, yes!!!!

Mahikeng - A farmer was shot dead in Buffelshoek on Monday morning, North West police said.

The 49-year-old man and his wife were milking cows in their dairy when they were overpowered by about five armed men, said Brigadier Thulani Ngubane.

The dairy is roughly 70 metres away from the couple's farmhouse.

"They were both taken back to the farmhouse where there was a confrontation between the suspects and the farmer. He was shot in the head from behind."

He died on the scene.

"His wife was taken inside the house and tied up. She was assaulted ... on her head with a blunt object," said Ngubane.

The gang fled in the farmer's car. The woman was taken to hospital for medical treatment.

Tell me and I will forget - (Video)

2012-02-20T10:39:00.000+02:00

Show me and I may remember - Involve me and I will understand.

This is the trailer of a documentary – shot on board, about 2 years ago, with the paramedics of Pretoria and Johannesburg. I refused to embed the trailer on these pages, when it was initially released, because it delicately brings into play typical liberal trickery - placing the blame for this chaos on the so-called “oppressive” apartheid system.

The video, nevertheless, reveals the stark reality of South Africa’s ongoing dilemma, and a type of chaos that would have been unheard of, IF ONLY the International ‘elite’ supported the concept of “Separate Development”. Much of South Africa’s current chaos has to do with cultural clashes, and a community of people suffering under the stress of this dilemma. It is a problem that has already escalated to unmanageable levels, yet the ANC government and the liberal mob supporting them remain in denial, while forever seeking new excuses (and more money) to either justify or rectify the stuff-up.

Mother and Daughter Attacked on Farm near Duiwelskloof

2012-02-16T15:09:00.000+02:00

Picture Credit: www.beeld.com

Two defenceless (well almost defenceless) woman, Mrs. Reinetha Venter (59) and her daughter René (27), were attacked on a farm about 30 km from Modjadjiskloof (Duiwelskloof), earlier this week. The two woman apparently lived alone on the farm.

Thankfully, the two ladies survived the ordeal. The incident, however, once again raises several concerns, one would normally associate with the risks of living in third-world communist country. It also highlights the fact why South Africa, once upon a time, had SEPARATE DEVELOPMENT (aka apartheid), and why amalgamated communal institutions simply don’t work in a complex multiethnic society, ruled by idiots who are intent on proving that Communist-Socialism can work, if given enough time and money. It has NEVER worked, and it NEVER will!

This fact should be evident by now, considering the ongoing 17-years of chaos taking place, but yet the mad liberal mob just keep on, and on, and on - propagating their lies, while the sheeple sleep.

A few concerns:

The ANC government is incapable of protecting its diverse citizens, despite the fact that it is the most primary duty of any democratically elected government.
The SA Police are more than just incompetent and pathetic… They’re absolutely useless!
The processes involving civilian firearm applications and registrations has been a royal mess ever since the new legislation was implemented in 2004. Incidentally, the Central Firearms Registry (CFR) has now been dumped in further operational disarray following yet another so-called “restructuring” of the system. – (Click here for more details)

I’ve taken the liberty of providing some details of the story as translated from the Afrikaans Volksblad report, seeing that, at the time I started compiling this posting, not one single online English news agency in the country had done so yet.

Mrs Venter tried defending herself with a knife, but instead - one of the four attackers managed to stab her hands about 10 times in attempts to take the knife away from her. The attackers then tied Reinetha’s bleeding hands behind her back and proceeded to keep her and her daughter, who was also tied up, in captivity for one hour.

The police arrived on the scene about two hours after the savages had already fled with their booty consisting of, cellphones, electronic devices, jewellery, and Reinetha’s motor vehicle. The burnt-out vehicle was later discovered near the house.

The daughter managed to wriggle herself free and contacted the neighbours, who in their turn phoned the Modjadjiskloof police station, but nobody answered the phone.

The police officers, who eventually arrived two hours later, then proceeded to question the victims, in their apparent stupidity of not knowing the difference between a housebreaking and a robbery. They took 4 statements from Reinetha, after she had to repeat everything ten times. According to Reinetha, the police could not understand her language and were unable to write. She eventually told them that she’d had enough and needed to visit a doctor.

The officers (as thick as two short planks, no doubt), eventually came to the erroneous conclusion that the scene was a housebreaking. The officers seemed more concerned that the 59-year old woman had used a knife on her attackers. According to the victim (Reinetha) it was as if the police officers were trying to blame her for the incident. (What if, heaven forbid, she had used a gun!)

Mrs Reinetha Venter is the sister of Colonel Gawie Alberts, station commander of the Villieria police in Pretoria. After her husband passed away two years ago, government restrictions on firearms required that she had to place her deceased husband’s firearms in safe custody. She also placed her own firearm in safe custody, as she was abroad for the most part of last year.

Reinetha was watching TV at about 20:45 when she heard a loud thump. Her daughter, René, was asleep in her bedroom at the time but was awoken by the noise.

The full story can be read online in Afrikaans on the pages of Volksblad.

I’ve just noticed that news24.com has also finally reported on the incident.

The “Villa” Monstrosity and Other Misfortunes

2012-02-15T17:41:00.000+02:00

The photographs below were taken this morning, in Pretoria-East, on the corner of Delmas Road and De Villebois Mareuil Drive. Although it may appear that this is a massive building construction in progress, it is in actual fact an abandoned monstrosity that has been standing unattended for more than a year. The cranes you see in the pictures haven’t moved one inch for months!

The specific location of this monster structure has a special personal significance for me, as it stands on the ground were I built my first house, established my first garden, and where my kids spent their early years, more than 25 years ago. Back then the suburb was known as Wingate Park Ext.1.

The chap who purchased the house from me, for about R230,000, in 1994, when I was transferred to Durban, scored big-time when developers paid him close to 1.5 million for the piece of land. About 78 houses were demolished in the area to make space for the new development, known as “The Villa”, which was designed to include retail shops, offices and a five-star hotel. It was considered the biggest ever construction of its sort in the southern hemisphere, when construction first started about 3 years ago. (I’m not sure if this is still the case.)

Nevertheless, like countless other major developments in South Africa, the construction on this one also grinded to a halt when funds to the developer, Capicol dried up. About R1.5 billion is now required to complete the building.

Villa Mall - View from the East

Villa Mall - View from North

The uncompleted Villa Mall is one of the many capital-growth ventures of Sharemax, a property syndication company many of my close acquaintances and family have invested shares in. Lately, there’s been a lot of talk about the two top managers of Sharemax, who apparently live luxuriously while thousands of investors have lost most, if not all, of their money.

Although the two managers may be living a life of luxury, the rumours about Sharemax investors losing money is all hogwash. Despite the current miserable state of the country, with its immeasurable number of poverty stricken people, the rich will always get richer.

Sharemax assets are not paper assets. They are fixed property! This should, under normal circumstances, be the saving grace for everyone who invested in Sharemax. The fact that they are now under Reserve Bank management enhances their profit potential. Dividends will no longer be paid monthly, but instead yearly or quarterly as with any company that operates within the Companies Act. Whether shareholders should sell their shares, or not, is advice I’d prefer not to give, as I’m nowhere near qualified to do so.

While we’re on the subject of failed constructions, here are two more pics of another complex in Pretoria-East that has apparently also seen its backside due to a lack of funding. The complex is near the upmarket Woodhill Country estate. The pics were taken on the same stretch of road in which “The Villa” is also situated.

Security Risk at Dump Sites

2012-02-15T11:31:00.000+02:00

In a recent posting, The Shocking Decline of SA’s Environment, I mentioned the squatters, mostly illegal immigrants from Zim, who live in or near the local refuse dumps where some make a few rands from recycling stuff people throw away.

I also mentioned that some of these squatters make a living from crime, but because I seldom visit the local dumpsite, I never realised that their crimes are committed at the actual dumpsite itself.

Here’s the relevant news, as reported by Ané Roux, which I’ve sourced from the website of our local Rekord Newspaper:

The biggest official dumpsite in the east of Pretoria, Garstkloof, is becoming a security threat to those who follow the Tshwane metro’s bylaws and dump their garden and building rubble at the dumpsite rather than on the sidewalks or on the metro’s green belts.

In September 2011, Rekord reported on the problem regarding vagrants who jump onto the back of vehicles turning out of Delmas Road towards the dumpsite and damage vehicles in an attempt to salvage any items they deem valuable. Now it seems these individuals are after more than discarded items.

Allegedly, vehicles are damaged purposefully to force owners to get out of their vehicles.

They are then robbed of their cell phones and any valuable items inside the vehicle.
According to a resident, who wishes to remain anonymous and who was robbed at the dumpsite, this modus operandi is being used on every vehicle.

“In the past, people with valuables like old televisions sets, washing machines, tents and so on would be surrounded by a mob of people who would all try and get their hands on these items. Now, no one is safe. They are after your cell phones, your wallet, your car radio and not necessarily what you might have on the back of your bakkie,” he said.

Ward Councillor Rita Aucamp is at the end of her tether with the metro’s ‘abrasive attitude’ as she puts it, regarding security at the Garstkloof dumpsite.

“I have tried to follow every possible avenue to get the metro to answer questions regarding the longevity of the dumpsite and security concerns there. My complaints have been ignored and so have the residents’. One security officer at the gate is not sufficient. When will the metro react, when someone is seriously hurt?” she asked. – Read the rest here.

South Africa's Bloody Freedom

2012-02-14T16:33:00.000+02:00

by BARBARA SIMPSON

Barbara Simpson, "The Babe in the Bunker," as she's known to her KSFO 560 radio talk-show audience in San Francisco, has a 20-year radio, TV and newspaper career in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.

It’s sad. A once prosperous country with a thriving economy is turning into a bloody mess and sliding into a 21st century Third-World status.

No, not Zimbabwe, which after becoming “free” devolved into chaos, starvation and economic helplessness under its “elected” dictator, Robert Mugabe.

It echoes Iraq, now that it’s “free” and has “elections” and, of course, there’s the ongoing “Arab Spring” touted by the U.S. and the West as a move to democracy and freedom.

Right.

The one person I’ve met who has the clearest vision of the truth about South Africa, before and after apartheid, and the implications for the United States is writer, commentator and, yes, philosopher of reality, Ilana Mercer.

She lays it out in explicit and, quite honestly, frightening detail in her new book, “Into the Cannibal’s Pot – Lessons for America from Post-Apartheid South Africa.”

Mercer’s book sees the patterns in the dissolution of a government and a country supposedly on the road to democracy as the politicians and power brokers embraced socialism/Marxism. She doesn’t pull any punches, whether writing about blacks or whites.

Mercer was born in South Africa and lived there until the 1960s, when her father, Rabbi Ben Isaacson, moved the family to Israel because of harassment by the apartheid government.

In the ’80′s, she returned to South Africa. She married, had a child and then emigrated to Canada. Ultimately, the family settled in the United States.

I was especially interested in her book because I’ve been to South Africa twice, not as a tourist, but spending time with people who live there, talking with them, seeing how they live, reading local newspapers and seeing it, not through rose-colored glasses, but as it is. It led me to pursue the horrors of Zimbabwe as well. The pattern is clear and almost identical.

Unfortunately, the blindness of our country continues, most recently with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg traveling in Africa.

She visited Tunisia and especially Egypt, where she aimed to “listen and learn” as that country makes a “constitutional transition to democracy.”

Has she seen the rioting, burning and beating as the Arab Spring “flowered”?

During an interview with Al Hayat Egyptian television, Ginsburg ventured her opinion and advice to Egyptians as to how to structure their new constitution.

This woman, a justice on the United States highest court, who took the oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States,” advised Egypt not to pattern its government after ours.

Ginsburg said she “would not look to the United States Constitution if I were drafting a constitution in the year 2012. …”

She said they should use South Africa’s constitution as a model.

Leaving aside the propriety of her demeaning her own country, it’s clear her South African sympathies blinded her from the reality of that “free” country.

Has she seen South African crime statistics? There are more than 50 murders a day. It leads the world in child and baby rapes, to say nothing of adult rapes. The number of white farmers and their families, including children, targeted, brutally tortured and sadistically murdered on their own farms or in their own houses, some 4,000 since apartheid ended in 1994, literally making farming in South Africa the most dangerous occupation in the world.

Car-jackings are a daily occurrence with drivers frequently kidnapped and murdered. Commonplace home invasions and robberies force people to live like prisoners in homes protected by walls, electric fences, trained dogs, hired guards, alarm systems, motion detectors inside and out, safe rooms and, if they’re able, weapons – although they’re illegal.

I’ll never forget the South African newspaper report I read while I was there. It was about a white driver carjacked by blacks, taken from his car and thrown off a cliff before his car was stolen.

So much for a modern constitution governing a free country. Words on paper mean nothing if the rule of law doesn’t work. Clearly, South Africa, no matter what government press releases or the travel brochures say, is a dangerous country for visitors, businesses and for its own citizens, regardless of skin color.

The overall body count in that country since the people were “freed” from white rule is estimated to be more than 300,000 and increasing every year. There’s black-on-white crime, black-on-black crime and black-on-every-other-skin-color crime. It’s crime often perpetuated with police and government acquiescence. So much for life under “free black rule.” Corruption is corruption.

The enormity of what’s happened in South Africa since Nelson Mandela took power after apartheid may be shocking in its violence, but it didn’t surprise Mercer. She knows history and sees the transition from the goal of democratic freedom to the form of dictatorship and slavery existing there now.

In introducing her book, Ilana Mercer calls it “Rambo Nation,” and she doesn’t pull punches:

“When South Africa was governed by a racist white minority, it was scorned by the West and treated as Saddam Hussein was, with boycotts and sanctions. Now that a racist, black-majority government controls the country; that it is as violent as Iraq, Liberia, or the Congo and rapidly becoming another Islamist-friendly, failed African state, it is the toast of the West.”

Mercer’s book shows the dissolution of a government and country supposedly on the road to democracy as the politicians and power brokers embraced socialism/Marxism. She sees parallels in our country.

Ironically, Feb. 11, was the 22nd anniversary of Mandela’s release from prison and the beginning of his elevation to the presidency and now, virtual sainthood.

Nothing negative can be written about him, and world media are complicit in the massive, politically correct cover-up of the gradual destruction of that country.

But Mercer lays it all out. If you can handle the truth, read her book. She is one brave woman.

The Shocking Decline of SA’s Environment

2012-02-13T21:02:00.001+02:00

Picture Credit: Snowy Smith – deathofdurban.blogspot.com

One of the many things on my “To Do List” for this blog, before I depart this place for good, is to spend some time driving around the suburbs of my hometown, Pretoria, and recording my observations on camera.

Although I do have a YouTube channel currently underway, I haven’t publicly promoted it yet. I was hoping to do so only after I had uploaded a few more videos, with material that is relevant to this blog. As the saying goes: I’ll get around to it sometime, but don’t ask me when!

In the meantime viewers are welcome to visit the channel and view the few videos that are currently available. A video I uploaded about a week ago, is a short (46 sec) clip depicting a street scene in Elarduspark, which also shows a rather nasty pothole I encountered, for weeks on end, every time I took a trip to my local shopping centre. Click here for the direct link.

As with all major cities in South Africa, the traffic during peak hours in Pretoria is horrific. It often forces me to take longer alternative routes. These roundabout drives inevitably take me to places I’ve not seen in a while, and I’m normally shocked at what I see. There are signs of environmental decay and dilapidated structures everywhere! Some of these structures are new ones that were obviously abandoned by their developers. In many of the secluded spots road signs are nonexistent, and where they do exist they’ve either been vandalised, or accidentally flattened by vehicles.

At every major busy 4-way intersection you will find people (whites and blacks), begging for food or money, and crowds of Blacks standing on the side of the road waiting for a “Wit Baas” (White Boss) to stop and offer them work. It’s actually quite amusing to watch the scenes taking place when a 4x4 vehicle pulls over. The vehicle basically gets ‘attacked’ from all sides, and then the negotiations start. When the vehicle finally pulls off, usually with only one or two labourers, the ones left behind start arguing among themselves, until the next vehicle stops.

Then you get the squatters, mainly from Zim, who seldom bother begging or looking for work, as they have been attacked too often by locals. You’ll find them occupying every available open space of veldt, usually in strategic spots where they have an open view surrounding them, in case they are stalked or harassed by the local Blacks. You’ll notice their smoke-filled ‘campsites’ from the main routes, while crawling along in the traffic. You’ll also find them in or near the local rubbish dumps where some make a few rands by recycling the stuff wealthy people throw away… Others, of course, have turned to crime.

Municipal authorities have long-ago stopped cleaning up the mess. That was last done a few weeks before the 2010 Soccer World Cup. However, when the big soccer uproar was all over, and after the government was happy that they’d fooled the entire world, everything went back to the way it was.

The few videos I've already uppoaded to YouTube will reveal that I am not the pessimistic type, and neither am I the type who gets a thrill from incessantly hammering on depressing news. However, I can get quite mad when I see the country I once loved going to the dogs. I almost flipped when I read the latest news that South Africa's natural environment has, over the past 20 years, deteriorated so fast.

Here is the full news report sourced from timeslive.co.za. The initial Afrikaans report from Beeld can be read here.

SA environment rapidly deteriorating
Sapa | 13 February, 2012 08:12

South Africa's natural environment has, over the past 20 years, deteriorated nearly the fastest of most countries in the world, a newspaper reports.

According to the Beeld this was the finding of a group of scientists at the universities of Yale and Columbia, in the United States, who measured the state of the environment in 132 countries, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum.

South Africa was in 128th place, with Iraq last on the list.

Using 22 indicators, researchers found the Swiss had managed and conserved their natural environment the best.

Swiss air and water quality, biodiversity and the management and conservation of ecosystems were found to be the best in the world. According to the report, it was clear South Africa's air and water quality, biodiversity, the functioning of its ecosystems, and its agricultural and fishery systems, had seriously deteriorated.

The researchers also measured and compared the current state of human health with that in 1992.

The Wildlife and Environment Society of SA said the findings were shocking. Director Garth Barnes said it was clear that environmental laws in South Africa were not being applied, even though the country had some of the best environmental legislation in the world.

The Dogs of Egypt - Signs of our Times

The following short narrative was recently sourced from www.jihadwatch.org:

Egypt's 'Gassed' Dogs

The above picture has appeared on several Arabic websites. Based on the caption that accompanies it, these dogs appear to be victims of the teargas the Egyptian military has been using against protesters. The caption reads: “Stray dogs passed out all over the streets from the effects of the teargas [or literally, “gas-bombs”] thrown at protesters. Despite being used to living around refuse, streets, car exhausts, these dogs passed out from the lethal gas. What about humans?”

Incidentally, there is no surprise that the dogs have been left like vermin on the streets: deemed najis, or unclean, dogs are outcasts in Muslim societies. As one anti-dog fatwa on the topic concludes: "We must ensure that Muslims continue to be averse to dogs, even in the midst of what the kuffaar [i.e., Western infidels] are used to do and what some Muslims have adopted of their habits." -- Sourced from: www.jihadwatch.org

A great deal can be deduced about a man’s character and the condition of his soul by simply watching how he treats his own dog, or even a stray one. There are numerous quotes made by prominent and unknown persons, that exemplifies man’s unique relationship with dogs.

Here are a few of my personal favourites:

"The better I get to know men, the more I find myself loving dogs."

-Gen. Charles De Gaulle-

"Dogs love their friends and bite their enemies, quite unlike people, who are incapable of pure love and always have to mix love and hate in their object-relations."

-Sigmund Freud-

"Heaven goes by favour. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in."

-Mark Twain-

"One reason a dog is such a lovable creature is his tail wags instead of his tongue."

-Unknown-

"If your dog doesn't like someone, you probably shouldn't either."

-Unknown-

Dog quotes sourced from: http://home.comcast.net/~maxcpoo/quotes.html

The above picture of Egyptian stray dogs, which have apparently passed out due to the effects of teargas, had my mind wandering off to some really strange places. When I was a young cop way back in the late 1970’s, and employed by the riot squad, with headquarters based in Diepkloof, Soweto, teargas was one of the implements of our ‘craft’. Besides Soweto, my duties also took me to several other townships where communist-inspired trouble was brewing. I can recall how those townships were teeming with a fair amount of flea-infested, half-starving, stray dogs of all sorts, but I cannot recall one single incident where those dogs had passed out due to the effects of teargas.

Nevertheless, after examining the above pic from all angles I’m reasonably convinced that it is genuine. There are five dogs in the picture. (The one lying in the shade, in the bottom right-hand corner is barely visible, depending of course on the screen you're using.) All the dogs appear to be in a reasonably good condition, are of the same breed or crossbreed, and vaguely resemble the appearance of the typical African dog, officially known as “The Africanis”.

Ancient Egypt is known to have had some of the oldest dog breeds that the world is now familiar with. A very long time ago, before the Egyptian civilization fell into a state of decay due to reasons highlighted in the most recent series of postings, Egyptian dogs were buried with the dead and almost portrayed as gods all over the walls of tombs and pyramids. Ancient Egyptian dog breeds include the Pharaoh Hound, Ibizan Hound, Saluki, and possibly even the well-known Greyhound.

According to this source, The Africanis is descended from the dogs pictured on Egyptian murals. The earliest record of domestic dogs - Canis familiaris - on the African continent are fossils found in the Nile estuary and dated to 4 500 BC. In Zululand, crosses between Greyhound and Africanis are called Ibhanzi.

Today, Africanis is found all over southern Africa, mainly in rural areas within or in close proximity to so-called “informal settlements”, in other words – in places where Black Africans maintain their traditional lifestyles. Besides townships and the numerous informal settlements located all over South Africa, I have also seen numerous variations of the Africanis breed during my travels in Africa, mostly to remote regions in Botswana.

One of the most pertinent images in my memory is the way these dogs are mistreated by local Africans. I can recall a very recent incident that occurred in the village of Shakawe, where we stopped at the local “Choppies” supermarket to get supplies. It was pouring with rain at the time, and all the locals were huddled outside under cover of the supermarket’s large veranda. Numerous dogs, soaked to the skin, sat in rain-drenched mud staring at us in a pitiful manner, but preferring to keep their distance from the crowds standing under cover. I wasn’t too sure if the dogs were shivering due to fear, or due to the sudden downpour, or whether they were possibly suffering from some terrible skin disease, or not, for they surely didn’t look too healthy at all!

While I was still observing the odd scene, and pondering the reasons why these dogs were behaving so strangely, the answer was swiftly provided by the assertive action of a Black man, who used a stick to beat one of the poor dogs back into the pouring rain and mud, simply because the shivering dog dared to seek a small dry spot under cover – too close to the man. It was at that moment in time that I once again realized why we had apartheid – (aka separate development) in South Africa.

There’s a vital lesson to be learned here… For starters, the number of mistreated stray dogs in a community is a good indication of the degree of moral decay. It thus comes as no surprise that the many branches of SPCA in modern-day South Africa are overly crowded with stray dogs.

Once upon a time the Africanis breed were valued by the indigenous populations of southern Africa for their hunting ability, and also their natural tendency to guard and protect livestock. However, it now seems they’ve outlived their worth, and are seldom taken into consideration as a provider of friendship, love, affection, or protection. This typical self-centred attitude could possibly be one of the reasons why so many peoples of Africa are in the state they are.

In modern-day Egypt, and also in many other parts of modern-day Africa, dogs (of all breeds) are treated with very little respect. In fact, throwing stones at them, kicking them, beating them with sticks, feeding them with poisoned food, and even running them over has become a national pastime for Africa’s modern-day savages.

In Egypt stray dogs are known as Baladi. These dogs are periodically tortured, abused, culled, poisoned, shot, drowned, starved, bashed, run over… and according to the facebook group called, “ENOUGH dog torture in Egypt”, the list of sadistic methods of killing are constantly created.

The Internet and other news media is saturated with the chaos and mayhem that has been going on in Egypt for quite some time now, so forgive me for omitting the relevant links in this posting.

The point I want to make is that Egypt and several other North African countries are now being run by DOGS (aka The Global Muslim Brotherhood), who have disgusting manners with regard to the treatment of dogs AND humans.

Although the mentality of this demonic mob, plus the absurdities associated with their warped religion has to a certain degree been exposed, mainly through Internet-based news sites, it is quite obvious that not much is being done to counteract it, and neither has there been much effort to stop the spreading thereof to the southern regions of Africa.

Dead or ‘gassed’ dogs lying around in the streets may not attract much attention nowadays, as the nonchalant attitude of the people in the top picture so vividly illustrates. BUT – the day is coming when DEAD HUMAN BEINGS lying in the street will not even raise an eyebrow.

In fact, by then the majority of people on Planet Earth will have morally decayed to such a degree that they will rejoice at the sight of such despicable carnage, so much so that they will party ‘till they’ve dropped AND even exchange gifts between one another to celebrate the occasion. Furthermore, the WHOLE WORLD will see the slaughter, possibly by means of the marvels of modern technology.

The liberal mind does not have the foresight to see this coming, maybe because HIS-story is also THEIR-story, and because their real enemy is God Himself, hence the reason why they seem intent on destroying His marvellous creations. This must surely be the only plausible reason why they’re ignoring the traces of evidence in the Holy Scriptures, which speaks of affairs that will take place sometime in the future.

The future atrocity I’ve mentioned above will, according to the Scriptures in Revelation chapter 11, not involve the massacre of a huge crowd, but only TWO people. These two people will have just stepped out of a courtroom (possibly a internationally recognised one, located in Jerusalem) after giving evidence against a prominent ruler or a global organization. According to Rev. 11:3 the testimony of the two witnesses takes 1260 days to finalize. In the old days this must have been perceived as a totally absurd length of time to spend in a courtroom, but today, in our modern times, this time-period is perceived as totally acceptable.

The Bible calls these two individuals “Two Witnesses” or “Two Prophets”.

Here is the relevant text, for the sake of convenience:
(Sourced from Revelation 11: 7-10 KJV)

[7] And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. [8] And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified (Jerusalem). [9] And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. [10] And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. - (Own emphasis added)

PS: An in-depth analysis of the two witnesses in the Book of Revelation, covering the events before and after the forthcoming court case in Jerusalem, was presented in Afrikaans in an older posting. I have not yet had the time to present the posting in English, but hope to do so soon.

The Origin of Ancient Egypt’s Destruction - (Part 3)

PART 1
PART 2

Take Note:

It appears that this article may have been drafted sometime in the year 1997. Although we’re already in the year 2012 the situation and the sentiments of people have not changed much. The feel-good liberal mob still rule the roost, and still go to great lengths to convince others that countries, like South Africa for example, will one day return to its former glory. Many have already fallen for this ‘false hope’ and have become blind to the fact that it is all a falsehood, deliberately disseminated by the ‘Masters of Darkness’ – many of whom masquerade as ‘Jewish’, but are not, exactly as it was more than 2000 years ago (See Revelation 2 : 9 and 13. - The posting on the sister blog, The Jewish-Conspiracy Myth, is also highly recommended.)

The late Dr. William Pierce had this to say during a broadcast to the American people in 1997:

There was a major article on South Africa in last week's London Sunday Times. The article was written by the Times Johannesburg correspondent Andrew Malone, and it was titled "Blacks Turn Their Anger on Mandela." The gist of the article was that as the South African infrastructure and economy continue to disintegrate under Black rule, most Blacks in the country, having gotten over their euphoria after having the country handed over to them in 1994, are now looking for somebody to blame for their growing misery.

It's hard for the Blacks to blame the honkies like they used to, because the honkies no longer run things. And it's not as if the Whites left the country in a shambles. When they turned the government over to Nelson Mandela and his Black crew three years ago, things were running well, but conditions have gone downhill rapidly since then. Not only has Mandela failed utterly to deliver the material goodies he promised -- new houses, new schools, new cars, and an easier life for all Blacks -- but Black unemployment has skyrocketed as Black leaders have mismanaged and exploited the economy, and soaring inflation has made life increasingly difficult for those Blacks who still have work.

Just one small reminder of the way in which the infrastructure of South Africa has decayed in three years of Black rule was provided by the mid-air collision of a German and an American aircraft just off the west coast of South Africa, taking the lives of all 33 people on board. The mass media certainly have not had much to say about the cause of this disaster, but knowledgeable airline pilots have put the blame squarely on the incompetence of African air traffic controllers and the corruption of the South African government.

Since the advent of Black rule, conditions in the air over South Africa have become chaotic, and pilots consider it to be the most dangerous air space in the world. On top of all this, the horrendous crime situation in South Africa plagues Blacks as well as Whites. When Mandela took over and Blacks began running the police departments, law enforcement simply ground to a halt.

Now Black gangs roam the cities and rob, rape, and murder almost with impunity. Johannesburg, which used to be a clean, safe, orderly city under White rule, now has the highest per capita murder rate of any major city in the world. In the countryside, the witchcraft craze is spreading and taking the lives of more and more Blacks. Blacks accused of witchcraft are being stoned to death or "necklaced" in unprecedented numbers.

It is not surprising that many Blacks are turning their anger on Nelson Mandela now -- especially since the corruption and incompetence of his regime are becoming increasingly apparent. He and his Black cronies are living high on the hog, in the traditional manner of Black African potentates, while most ordinary Blacks are living in substantially worse conditions than they did under White rule. News stories about his wife Winnie Mandela's stabbing to death of a 14-year-old Black critic and Nelson's ordering the kidnapping of a witness to the murder have not helped his image.

What really is surprising is the growing number of Blacks willing to openly express their disillusionment with Black rule and their nostalgia for the good, old days of White rule. A 35-year-old Negress interviewed for the Sunday Times article was one of many who said she much preferred White rule. "There were not the problems then," she said. "I have got no money now, and my clothes are in rags. At least the police were effective then, and there was no crime. I believed in Mandela, but now I don't."

Not so long ago, such an expression of preference for White rule would have resulted in the "necklacing" of the interviewee: Mandela's followers would have put a gasoline-soaked tire around her neck, wired her hands behind her back, and burned her to death. Nowadays such sentiments are more likely to be condemned by White liberals in the United States or Britain, who would refer to her contemptuously as an "Uncle Tom."

As for the shrinking number of Mandela's followers, they are more likely to blame the declining popularity of their leader on the remaining White minority in South Africa, since there aren't tires enough in the country to punish all of the Blacks who are now disillusioned with his regime. They look enviously at the Whites, many of whom still live in nice homes, now surrounded by walls topped with razor wire and patrolled by armed guards because of the crime problem, and still manage their businesses, or practice their professions as doctors, engineers, writers, or serve as technical consultants for the Black government. And Mandela's people complain that the Whites don't do enough for them, that the Whites spend too much time condemning the government for its corruption and whining about the crime problem, and not enough time praising Mandela and proclaiming their solidarity with his regime. The Whites are too standoffish, the Blacks complain; they keep too much to themselves instead of mixing with the Blacks and demonstrating their belief in equality and brotherhood. And the Whites are too successful, too industrious, too smart, too prosperous, too rich.

Increasingly, the resentful Blacks think about killing the goose which lays South Africa's dwindling supply of golden eggs. The time for that certainly is coming.

Meanwhile, South Africa's Whites concern themselves primarily with coping with the changed conditions in their country -- or what used to be their country, before they voted three years ago to give it away. The most dangerous time for them every day is when they must open their gates and drive out of their guarded enclaves to go to work. Carjacking has become a major industry for Blacks. Sometimes they hide in shrubbery outside a gate, and if a White driver is so careless as to stop his car and get out to close his gate instead of having an armed guard do it for him as he speeds away, they will jump him and take his car. They may kill him. Certainly, if there is a woman in the car, she will be taken away and gang-raped. Raping White women is another major industry for Blacks in the new, "free" South Africa.

When South Africa was under White rule, it was a safe and orderly place, with crime confined almost entirely to the Black townships, and even there it was kept within reasonable bounds by rigorous White policing efforts: efforts which were condemned by liberals in America and Britain as "brutal" and "racist." Every time the White government hanged a Black murderer, the liberal media unleashed a torrent of abuse on the wickedness of apartheid. Now, with apartheid gone, the murder rate in South Africa has risen until it is nearly 100 times the murder rate in Britain.

But, of course, the liberal media have very little to say about that. The sort of article I mentioned in the Sunday Times is quite rare, and even in such articles the writers feel obliged to refer to "the horrors of apartheid" in the old days, while lamenting that things haven't worked out in South Africa the way the liberals had planned.

The Whites who can, cope with things by building higher walls around their houses and hiring more armed guards; many who are able, cope by emigrating. And every time a White professional or manager leaves South Africa for good, the Black unemployment rate rises and Black desperation grows.

Lest there be some misunderstanding, let me assure you that I am not bothered a bit by Black desperation. I am not bothered by Blacks "necklacing" each other, suspecting each other of witchcraft, or whatever. I think that Blacks ought to be left to do their own thing, as in Rwanda, Uganda, Congo, or Liberia, and Whites ought not to get involved in feeding them, doctoring them, sending them relief supplies, or policing them.

I am not even bothered very much by White desperation in South Africa, because the Whites there voted themselves into their present predicament. Pathetically eager to be fashionable, disgustingly eager to prove to the world that they weren't the racists the liberals were accusing them of being, a majority of them voted to turn their country over to Black rule in 1994. So sometimes I am inclined to say, damn them! Let them reap the reward for their weakness and their folly.

But then I must remind myself that my fellow Whites in America and in Britain have not demonstrated more strength or wisdom than the Whites of South Africa. Wherever there is democracy, and wherever the mass media are in the hands of the enemies of our people, we can expect the same sort of suicidal folly on the part of the majority, the same sort of mindless, self-destructive rush to be fashionable. Really, it is the minority of Whites able to think for themselves but, in a democracy, subject to the foolishness of the majority, with whom I sympathize.

I sympathize with the minority of South African Whites who voted against giving their country away in 1994, and who now must suffer the consequences of the majority's folly. I wish that every White South African who is killed during a carjacking and every White South African woman who is gang-raped by Blacks when her car breaks down on a country road could be one of the fashionable twits who voted in 1994 to end apartheid, but I know that that cannot always be so. I know that many of them must be the self-respecting, race-conscious Whites with whom I sympathize, and my heart aches for them.

And, my god, even the twits! Most of them are guilty of no more than the same foolishness and weakness which afflict most of our people everywhere. With good leadership -- with strong, responsible, loyal White leadership -- they can build civilizations and conquer the universe; the best in them can shine. But when they are led by traitors or criminals and misdirected by liberal propaganda, the worst in them shows itself.

It is to the liberals we must direct our attention if we want to understand why our fortunes as a race have declined so steeply in this century.

Do you remember the way the liberals were carrying on in America about South Africa before 1994? For two decades, ever since they finished cheering the Viet Cong to victory in Vietnam, the destruction of White South Africa was at the top of their agenda. Do you remember the hatred the liberals directed at South African Whites? It was unremitting. Anyone who spoke up for South Africa was blasted with the same hatred,anyone who did business with South Africa was cursed and vilified, anyone who opposed disinvestment in South Africa or who was not in favour of a boycott against South Africa was hated. Hating White South Africans was absolutely the trendiest thing on university campuses and in fashionable circles everywhere. Organizing demonstrations and picketing and leafleting against South Africa kept the liberal rank and file busy, while the liberal spokesmen poured out their hatred of South Africa in editorial after editorial.

All of this liberal hatred might have been of no account, except the liberals had the mass media at their disposal, so the politicians danced to their tune. An economic boycott of South Africa was enforced by the U.S. government, and diplomatic pressure was used to persuade many other countries to participate in the boycott. Athletic and cultural boycotts also were organized by associations responding to liberal pressure. It became illegal to buy any South African product or to sell or give anything to South Africans which might be useful to them. The only South African sports figures who were permitted to compete internationally were Blacks, and the only South African writers, playwrights, or film-makers who were given an audience outside of South Africa were Jews, such as Nadine Gordimer, with her anti-White novels, or White turncoats who followed the Jewish party line.

Eventually the White South African majority caved in under the weight of the hatred and voted to give away everything that their ancestors had worked, fought, and died to build for them: the only truly progressive country on the African continent. The liberals, having achieved their goal, have moved on to other causes. South Africa, once their obsession, no longer interests them. And, of course, they accept no responsibility for what they did. Liberals never accept responsibility for the disastrous consequences of their policies, their enthusiasms, their causes. They just move on to another cause.

I blame the destruction of South Africa on liberals, but what is a liberal, other than a person who just happens to wind up on the wrong side of every important issue? I think we ought to recognize the fact that there were at least two distinct types of liberals involved in the hate campaign against South Africa. First, there are the liberals who are really cause driven, liberals whose hatred for White South Africans was based on some deep-rooted personality disorder, some feeling of guilt, self-hatred, or infantile resentment against their betters which fuels their manic egalitarianism. But these cause-driven individuals, these manic liberals, are a minority, even among the liberal spokesmen and editorialists.

Most people associated with liberal causes are not psychologically abnormal. They are simply bigots. They hate whomever it is fashionable to hate at the moment. They have a strong streak of authoritarianism in them. That doesn't necessarily mean that they are supporters of the government. Liberals were very critical of the government during the Vietnam war, for example. Liberal authoritarianism manifests itself as a greater than average tendency to go with the flow, as a greater than average trendiness, a greater than average tendency to condemn or to hate any non-conformist.

Most of the university students who were picketing companies which did business in South Africa, most of the pension-fund trustees who made a public show of refusing to buy stock in such companies, were liberals of this sort. They are feel-good liberals. They like being part of a mob.

Most of the people who wrote rabid editorials denouncing apartheid -- the South African system of racial apartness, of racial separateness -- as the most evil system ever conceived and who gave direction with their own hate to the rank-and-file haters on the picket lines were also feel-good liberals. And that's also true of most of the people who still write such editorials today.

I have in front of me an editorial by John Simpson, who is the foreign affairs editor for the BBC, and Mr. Simpson writes:

"The election of 1994 which brought Nelson Mandela to power in South Africa was such a triumph of the human spirit, such a success for the kind of virtues which rarely appear in political life, that even now no one really wants to describe what is going on there. We all hope it will get better of its own accord. But, instead of being a fairy tale, South Africa is one of the most violent countries in the world. Its government is riddled with inefficiency and corruption . . . ."

We must shake our heads in disbelief when we hear a man like John Simpson, an educated, well informed man in a very responsible position, a man who is neither a Jew nor a Black, describe the campaign of hatred against South Africa which resulted in a convicted Black terrorist being installed as president and the country being brought to ruin as "a triumph of the human spirit."

Mr. Simpson, like all liberals, simply refuses to accept responsibility for the damage he and his kind have caused. He refuses to consider the possibility that the cause of forcing White South Africans to turn their country over to Blacks was a perverse cause. He refuses to consider the possibility that the egalitarian idea which underlies all liberalism is an incorrect idea. He thinks himself quite bold in recognizing the obvious fact that things have worked out rather badly in South Africa. That's certainly more than most liberals will admit.

I don't know Mr. Simpson personally, but I'm inclined to believe that he is not one of those liberals who has deep-rooted feelings of guilt or inferiority because his potty training went wrong. I suspect he's one of the trendy, authoritarian ones who is simply incapable of entertaining an unorthodox idea. He believes that since his cause was just when he was preaching hatred against White South Africans and apartheid, he cannot be held accountable for what is going on in South Africa today. Something went wrong, but it's certainly not his fault, he believes. It couldn't be. He has always promoted the trendiest causes, the causes that all of the important people were promoting. So it can't be his fault.

Well, Mr. Simpson, we unfashionable people are getting a little tired of you and your kind messing up the world and then refusing to accept responsibility for what you have done. We're fed up. And the day is coming when you and your kind will be held accountable for what you have done. We'll hold you accountable for every White woman raped in South Africa, for every White man killed in South Africa during a carjacking. We'll hold you accountable regardless of what kind of potty training you had.

Perhaps we have one last chance to rescue ourselves from this cesspool of crime and immorality which the country has fallen into. To quote the Israeli Prime Minister at the time of the Entebbe raid in 1976: “If we believe in freedom, there comes a time when we must fight in defence of it, no matter what the consequences, otherwise we demean ourselves and lose all moral claim to be a government.” And the only way to return to our senses is to hear the word of God as He says in 2 Chronicles 7:14: “…and My people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

The Origin of Ancient Egypt’s Destruction - (Part 2)

A NEGRO ASCENDS THE EGYPTIAN THRONE

At this point let me call attention to statements issued by late Martin ‘Lucifer’ King, Adam Clayton and other Negro ‘leaders’ that before very long, as soon as the Negroes achieve full voting rights and powers, a Negro would be elected to the Presidency of the United States. Now, let me show you how history is repeating itself.

As long as the far-seeing Pharaoh Sesostris III lived, the alien invasion of the Negroes was halted. But apparently it was already too late to prevent the downfall of the Egyptian civilization, for shortly after the death of Sesostris, the Egyptian state collapsed. Commenting on this in his book, ‘THE BURDEN OF EGYPT,’ historian John A. Wilson expressed belief that an intrusion of new forces (Negroes and their supporters) had much to do with the overturning of the Egyptian civilization. He stated: “There is evidence that restless movements were penetrating Africa, upsetting the orderly prosperity of the past. In Africa there was the slow and filtered northward pressure of Negroes.”

History is repeating itself – not only Africa, but Asia is seething with the same restless movements, only more violent-encouraged by the One-World Masterminds!

Those tragic and disastrous events in Egypt bore out the prophetic warnings of Sesostris concerning the Negro immigration. He had clearly perceived that, although Egypt had the surface appearance of strength, the foundations of the country were slowly but surely being undermined and corroded under this outland/alien invasion of thoroughly disruptive stock.

Now, appraise the present state of OUR country. Then study the seethings in Asia – how ‘leaders’ in Washington and the United Nations created the ‘all new’ nations in Africa and how all White influences have been destroyed in all those lands of the savages. Study how Holland, France, England and other nations have been forced to surrender their colonies. Study how the United Nations has destroyed the nation sovereignties of Rhodesia, South Africa and other White nations. And bear in mind that the ‘leaders’ in Washington have collaborated with the UN in creating all those ‘new’ African nations composed of savages. Then study how all the new ‘laws’ are directed toward the growth and power for the Negroes, and you will find that we are facing the very same fate Sesostris predicted for Egypt. The prophetic warnings of all loyal and far-seeing South Africans and Americans are being disregarded by the people, simply because the Jewish-controlled ‘leaders’ in Washington, and the equally Jewish-controlled Mass Communications Media are deliberately keeping the warnings from reaching the people and thereby deluding them into sitting idly by, while the same kind of disaster is being spread throughout our nation.

Directly in line with that, it is extremely interesting to note that after the death of Sesostris, Egypt fell under the yoke of the Hyksos, an Afro-Asian people of Northern and Eastern affinities. During that foreign domination, the low state of Egypt may be judged from a copy of a royal Egyptian document, telling of a conference in the Egyptian Court of Kamose, then the ruler of Thebes, who rebelled against the tribute he was forced to pay the Hyksos king. Kamose, in discussion with his nobles, said: “Let me understand what this strength of ours is for. One Prince is in Avaris, another is in Ethopia, and here I sit in association with an Asiatic and a Negro!”

Certainly, this documented conference is further conclusive evidence that the Egyptians not only considered themselves a totally different race than the Negroes, but that they were also superior to them, and that the Negroes in their midst were directly responsible for the downfall of Egypt.

Though they (the Egyptians) had by then fallen to a very low estate, there was still sufficient racial fibre left within them to finally defeat the Hyksos and drive them out of Egypt. But this was only a temporary respite from the final capitulation of Egyptian might which could not be indefinitely forestalled once the process of disintegration had begun, and their final death throes came as a result of the continuously greatly increased Negro immigration into Egypt.

The Pharaohs who succeeded Sesostris did not have the prudence and/or foresight to recognise the peril of the mounting Negro population in Egypt until too late for successful resistance. The final result came in 680 B.C. when a Negro (TAHRKA) became the Pharaoh of Egypt – the first negro monarch of that nation. At that stage in their history the Egyptians had become so mongrelized that the decay of their civilization became complete. Their Art was gone; their Medical and architectural ability had disappeared. Progress in all fields had ceased and all long known skills and sciences had completely vanished. Their religion, formerly on a high plane, requiring earthly morality as a test toward the immortality of the soul, had disintegrated into mere animal worship – just as animal worship persists – and has persisted – in practically all of Africa to this very day.

The very fibre of the Egyptian people had been corroded. Their generation force was spent – lost in a welter of foreign (Negro) elements interbred into the population.

Is that what the ‘leaders’ in Washington and South Africa, the Jews and the National Council of Churches are plotting for our peoples?

Unquestionably, the lack of immigration limitations brought about and caused the decline and fall of the Egyptian civilization. Equally unquestionably, the internal decay of Egypt came as a direct result of the free and unrestricted influx of dissimilar people (particularly Negroes).

That contact with those highly alien populations, although checked for short periods of time, was permitted to slowly increase until it finally engulfed the entire nation…

Is that what the traitors in Washington and South Africa are planning for our two countries with their unlimited integration plot?

The most significant feature about the tragic destruction of that early Egyptian civilization is that it was no accomplished by war from outside, or by invasion of foreign armies, but by so-called ‘peaceful’ invasions of alien masses, principally Negroes who first arrived there as slaves, then as ‘peaceful’ immigrants. They came crowding into that homeland and devoured the core of its strength from within. As Lincoln said: “If America is finally destroyed, it will be done from WITHIN and not from without.” WHAT A PROPHECY!

Thus it was the invasions by the Negroes, whether as slaves or otherwise, that destroyed Egypt and her civilization. Many noted historians contend that even if Egypt had been overrun by conquering armies at a time when her population was still composed of those racial elements that were responsible for her birth and development, her civilization would not have been impaired.

They insist that with those original human resources still available and undiluted by Negro blood, she not only would have been able to emerge intact from such wars, but would have repelled all invaders from her midst and finally regained the majesty and power of her civilization.

Which brings is back to the state of our country and our people: the most tragic fallacy that lulled the Egyptian people to sleep was the popular feeling that a comparatively small population importation would be harmless, and that Egypt could not be materially affected. They were kept unaware that the integrationists in their midst, unknown to the people, were continuously seeking to increase the growth of mongrelization and were frenziedly encouraging that misconception of ‘no harm in immigration,’ in the hope that the complacency of the people would continue beyond the stage where a finally aroused people , suddenly alerted to their peril, could do anything to avert it. That was how Egypt was destroyed. And that is how the integrationists among our people (the illuminati, the CFR, communists, liberals, the foreign bankers and their stooges) are operating today to destroy our civilization and our culture and traditions!!!

Just as ‘Seer’ van Rensburg foresaw all these things in his time, so Dr. Verwoerd also foresaw the devastating results of such integration, and for this he had to die, resulting in a gradual, ever-increasing slide into the morass of integration – first the repealing of the immorality act. Once the communists gained a foothold in our country, the rest was easy – we all know of that fateful day in 1990 when the leftwing organisations were unbanned. Today we see the results…

Our country is like a man with boils, sitting on a dung-heap of confusion and dismay. De Klerk, by handing us to the communists on a silver platter, gave us a grievous bayonet wound in the stomach, but this new ‘democracy’ has dismembered us entirely.

Now, some seventeen years later a dazed nation stands watching as promises of a better future dissolve in the sizzling acids of disillusion. The bell that tolled a ‘peaceful transition’ on 27 April 1994, now knells the death of a once relatively peaceful and prosperous nation. This circus philosophy that national well-being can be achieved by writing God out of the constitution, replacing skilled personnel with unskilled and inexperienced ‘affirmative action’ appointees, and blaming all the ills besetting the country on ‘apartheid’, has now come to an end and the clowns who believed in it, lie dazed and bleeding on the sawdust floor.

Now we find ourselves in a tragic travail of runaway crime, government mismanagement and corruption costing the (mainly white) taxpayers literally untold billions, and it has become obvious that many innocent people are getting hurt as a result. Production in factories and mines is being reduced, or they are being shut down altogether; workers are being paid off while the unions incessantly toyi-toyi, strike and continually ‘demand’ while none of those workers are prepared to increase productivity. Hunger and cold are taking their toll; our farmers are systematically being murdered; children are underfed and the despair of unemployed fathers is increasing. Instead of promised houses and prosperity, unsightly ‘Mandela-, Hani- and Slovovilles’ of tin, plastic and board are mushrooming in every town and city as people hope to get work. Hordes of idle street children multiply by the day because the parents cannot, or will not accept responsibility for them.

The Origin of Ancient Egypt’s Destruction - (Part 1)

2012-02-11T22:31:00.000+02:00

In the light of the fact that modern-day Egypt has gone to the dogs, in more ways than one, and that I’m currently working on an article concerning this issue (between other more important commitments), I’ve decided to first present another article, which is not my own, but which explains exactly how and why the original Egyptian civilization perished.

The greater part of this lengthy article, which I’m presenting in 3 parts, originally appeared many years ago in one of the editions of an American Christian newspaper, known as the “Christian Defense League” (CDL). It was forwarded to me by a close acquaintance of mine, who admitted that new additions were subsequently added to the original writings. Some of the supplementary notes were apparently obtained from commentary made by various persons (unknown), while others were made by my acquaintance. It is my understanding that no copyright exists, hence the reason why I’ve decided to republish the article in its entirety, without providing any credits, exactly as I received it.

Take Note:
The document begins, rather abnormally, with the adverb “However”, which obviously means that something was said beforehand. What exactly the missing text contained, is not known to me.

This was probably the main reason why I never republished the document immediately at the time of receiving it, sometime during October 2011, as it gave the impression that some vital text was missing.

The article uses terminology that is considered “racist” and thus “politically incorrect” in our day. So before condemning the article on that basis, please bear in mind that it was written long-ago, when the use of certain terminology was considered acceptable in certain segments of society, and when it was probably not intended to be read by all and sundry.

Some references to "our country" refers mainly to the U.S.A., but there are also references to South Africa.

Readers who find this particular subject fascinating may also be interested in Arthur Kemp’s latest book, “The Children of Ra: Artistic, Historical, and Genetic Evidence for Ancient White Egypt”. Click here to view the entry on Mr Kemp’s blog.

The article…

However, to see the broader picture of the deterioration of the White civilization, let us go back in time to around 4500 BC and learn something which is not generally known to the average John Citizen:

HOW THE EGYPTIAN CIVILIZATION PERISHED – by Myron C. Fagan.

The first of the Great White civilizations that Abraham Lincoln studied, was the great Egyptian civilization, which actually was the first one known in the history of the world, and which lasted for almost 4000 years. It came into existence as far back as 4500 BC. The home of that civilization was the lower Nile river delta. Bounded on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, on the West and South by the Sahara Desert, the Egyptians were isolated, and thus, safeguarded for many centuries from negroid and Asiatic inroads, and thus they were able to build their civilization to a very high degree of development.

Now, what was the race of these people that were endowed with the ability to build their civilization to such a high degree? According to Lincoln, he credited his statements to the foremost authorities on Egyptian history that they were definitely NOT of African Negroid origin.

The famous anthropologist, A.L. Kroeber, stated that the development of the Egyptian civilization belonged to the Mediterranean branch of the White race. His statement (Kroeber’s) reads as follows: “The laying of the foundations of modern civilization along the Nile and the Euphrates some 7000 years ago belongs to the credit of the White race.”

Those original Egyptians maintained racial purity to a very high degree for the amazing period of 37 centuries, due to their freedom from any direct contact with the Negroid Nubians immediately to the south of them, and from the further removed Negroes of North Central Africa. It was during that very long period of time that the Egyptian civilization reached its peak, extending from 3400 B.C. to 1800 B.C.

That was the period during which they built their world-famous pyramids and temples, to this very day amazing examples of architecture, evidencing a very high order of mathematical and engineering skills. Within those centuries their artistic skills and craftsmanship reached a perfection unsurpassed in many instances in the present time. Chemistry and astronomy were equally well-known to them. Their knowledge of law was extensive and their administrative capacity enabled them to govern themselves and their empire as a well-organised people – exactly as we did until recent decades. The methods they employed to administer their provinces very closely resembled the State governments established by the Founders of our country. In every respect they appeared to be founding a civilization that could not be destroyed exactly as our civilization supposedly was until the present plotting to destroy it.

But is was during those many centuries of progress and creative accomplishment and enlightenment that the Egyptians were making the basic errors which were one day to accumulate into a single great factor directly responsible for their decay and destruction. That single great factor came WITH THE MINGLING OF THE BLACK AND WHITE RACES – exactly the same basic errors we have been making during the past several decades up till now!!!

HOW IT HAPPENED IN EGYPT

Approximately in 3400 B.C. the Egyptian civilization began to spread slowly southward up the Nile River, actually the only narrow avenue of connection between Egypt and inner-Africa – and this brought Egypt for the first time into close contact with an alien people, the Negroid inhabitants of the southern fringe area of the early kingdom whose marauding tribes began to raid into Egypt and had to be conquered by the Egyptian armies. As a result of these conquests, Nubians (Negroes) were brought into the life of Egypt to be used as slave labour, as our Negroes were first brought into our country. Even in those days the Egyptians considered Negroes fit for nothing but that kind of labour.

However, as time went by, the Egyptians became desperately in need of soldiery. Nubians were gradually brought into its (Egypt’s) military service. However, here I want to stress one very significant point – those Nubian soldiers were SOLD into Egypt’s military service through their Kings and tribal chiefs, exactly as the Hessian soldiery that was brought here to fight against Washington and SOLD into the militant service of England by the Hessian Kings!!!

This Negro soldiery, which the Egyptians called “Mercenaries,” was widely used in the reign of Pepi I, about 3325 B.C., but it actually began in the more remote days of the Old Kingdom around 3700 B.C. Later, men of the Nubian tribes, the supposedly more intelligent ones, known as the Mazoi, were employed as gendarmes, or police, for one of the Egyptian provinces and soon were commonly found in similar service elsewhere in the realm.

As regards the importation of the Negro slaves into Egypt, according to the history of the matter, Amenhotep (Pharaoh) III warred only towards Ethiopia, mainly for the material gain through the acquisition of highly valuable slaves. Historian Rawlinson further stresses in this connection that “…the black races have always been especially sought for this purpose and were in great demand in the Egyptian slave markets…” They had no other real values. Another Egyptian historian, Samuel sharpe, states: “…there are carvings and paintings on the walls of Memmonium at Abydos that record the victories of Rameses II over Negroes and Ethiopians” and how they were brought into Egypt.

As time went by, and the Negro slaves achieved freedom by one means or another, the ancient records show that the character of the population was becoming materially changed. The steady increase of Negroes was making them an integral part of the civilization as an accompanying admixture with the Egyptians progressing on an ever- widening (and decaying) scale – exactly as in the US today!

Note – here is another very significant similarity of what happened in ancient Egypt and what is going on in our country today. When the so-called ‘integrationists’ (plotters) in Egypt carried on their ‘fight’ for the ‘freedom’ of African slaves, their cries were that the Egyptian people were directly responsible for the ‘enslavements’ – that they had raided African villages and carried the inhabitants off into slavery.

The truth of the matter was that the Egyptian slave traders had made ‘deals’ with the African chiefs, who, for a price, delivered their subjects to those slave traders. The same conditions applied to the slaves in the USA – the slave traders BOUGHT the Africans from their own chiefs, transported them to America and sold them into slavery. But our abolitionists and present integrationists are blaming ALL of the American people, accusing us of having kidnapped all those Africans and sold them into slavery to work on the plantations in the South. In short, the very same thing that happened in ancient Egypt and finally destroyed that civilization is repeating itself in our country – and will destroy OUR civilization.

There is distinct evidence that once those non-Whites became permanently a segment of the Egyptian population (exactly as the Negroes over here have become a segment of our population) no segregation or miscegenation laws were adopted. There had never been a condition until then. Therefore the White Egyptians were caught by surprise and were totally unprepared for a means to fight it.

Although there is distinct evidence that social segregation of the races was universally practiced in Egypt for many generations, and intermarriage, while not outlawed, was strongly discouraged, at least among the upper classes – the aristocracy of Egypt was not affected until the very last years of civilization. This unmistakably proves that the infusion of Negro blood worked itself up from the very bottom of Egyptian society and spread into the higher strata of the population as the Negroes increased in numbers – exactly as it is happening in our country today!

(Note: Careful comparison of the above-described conditions in Egypt with those that confront the American people today, clearly evidences that highly significant similarity. In that early Egyptian civilization, as in all civilizations, there were ‘bleeding hearts,’ ‘do-gooders,’ ‘liberals, etc, just as we have them amongst our people today – ‘do-gooders’ who bewailed the plight of the ‘poor Negroes’ who screamed for their freedom; then for their ‘equality,’ etc, etc. In short, the ‘Negro problem’ crept up on the unsuspecting and unalerted Egyptian people exactly as it has crept up on us.)

From a slave position came freedom for the Negroes, followed by a slow elevation to posts of authority - in the Government, the Armed forces, in commercial pursuits, in sports, in the entertainment fields, etc – exactly as it is taking place here! It was practically an application of the same ‘directives’ we revealed in Israel Cohen’s book: “A Racial Program for the 20th Century".

That strongly contributed to the breakdown of prohibitions in Egypt against a sharp separation of the races by bringing all classes of the population in to a closer economic level. Every contact of their lives was inexorably forcing them into a final blood fusion with the constantly growing Negro population as their (the Egyptians’) own racial consciousness began to dull.

ONE PHARAOH TRIED TO SAVE EGYPT.

That alarming (and growing) condition gravely concerned certain of the Pharaohs – the writings of that period disclose the powerful measures some of them took to stem the influx of Negroes into the country. One of the outstanding of those Pharaohs was Sesostris III, 1878-1840 B.C., who was directly responsible for the rigid halting of Negro immigration during his reign. He rigidly ruled against the influx, either as slaves, or as immigrants.

The following inscription on a stone slab still surviving beside the Nile sets forth his most significant command: “by will of the majesty of the King of Upper and Lower Egypt, Sesostris III, this is an order to prevent any Negro from crossing by water or by land, except a Negro who shall come to do trading in Ikan, or with a commission. Every good thing shall be done with and for them, but without allowing a ship of the Negroes to pass by Heh, the southern boundary, going down stream forever.

The Pharaoh had this very significant proclamation inscribed on stone at several other points on the river, emphasizing his stand to the world against any further admission of African immigration. To enforce that ban he had fortresses erected on each bank of the Nile opposite one another at the Second Cataract, the southern boundary of Egypt. The ruins of these fortresses still serve as mute evidence of a bygone effort to save a civilization from destruction.

During the Civil War, Lincoln realised that his championship on behalf of the Negroes had created a very grave problem for the American people, especially after he studied the histories of Egypt and other nations, he made that statement to his most trusted associates and he began to think of ways to avert that problem.

Assumptions concerning South Africa’s Murders, which now exceed Road Deaths

2012-02-07T14:15:00.000+02:00

Picture Credit: www.zimbio.com

A recent survey released by the South African Institute of Race Relations has revealed that South Africa is the only country in the world whose murder rate exceeds its road accident fatality rate.

The survey found that 32 South Africans per 100 000 died as a result of being murdered, while 28 per 100,000 died in road accidents.

"That our murder rate exceeds killings on the roads does not mean that road fatalities are low, only that our high murder rate is even higher than our high road fatality rate," researcher Kerwin Lebone said on Monday.

The study was based on information from the road traffic corporation and the police for the 2010/11 financial year ending last March. – Full news report here.

So what assumptions can be formulated regarding this crazy (reversed) situation in South Africa?

Well, let’s see now...

‘Unity in Diversity’ ALWAYS creates unexpected, chaotic results.
Your chances of being killed “intentionally” is far higher than death “by accident”. - (A rather obvious assumption, but also a bewildering one if the element of “intention” and its similes such as, “deliberate” and “on purpose”, are reflected upon.)
The Traffic Police are far more intelligent and innovative than the SA Police, when it comes to protecting the country’s citizens.
The government wants us to be thankful that the murder rate did not equal or exceed the horrific road deaths rates of 2001 to 2006, when the figures were estimated at almost 1.2 million per year. – (A total of, 3,280,931 road deaths were recorded in South Africa between 2001 and 2006 – Source: Stats SA - PDF 211 kb).
If you want to live long in this country, avoid people and traffic (shop online ;-).

"Torture numbers, and they'll confess to anything."

~Gregg Easterbrook

While we're on the subject of numbers…

According to the SA Police, the murder rate for 2010/11 is 15,940. The number of road accident fatalities is in excess of 13,000 annually. (I’m not sure in which category they’ve placed the numbers who were intentionally killed (murdered) by motor vehicles, and whether such crimes are even investigated, or not ;-)

The road accident fatalities for previous years were as follows:

2009 – 13,875
2008 – 13,768 - (Source: Road Traffic Management Corporation – PDF 2.2 MB).

Despite the decline from previous years, South Africa’s road accident death rate still ranks among the highest in the world, with only undeveloped countries such as Eritrea, Angola, Ethiopia, The Gambia and war-torn countries like Iraq and Afghanistan registering higher figures, according to this source.

The preliminary accident fatality figure for the period of 1 December 2011 to 11 January 2012 (42 days) is 1475 – (Source: Road Traffic Management Corporation – PDF 537 kb).

All jokes and sarcasm aside…

The fact that we’re looking at a total number of approximately 29,000 dead people in one year, whose deaths were caused by either murder or by road accidents, is atrocious to say the least!

It makes one wonder –

At what cost is this country going to achieve the ANC’s idiotic goal of ‘Unity in Diversity’, and at what point in time will the ‘International Elite’ start realizing that their big South African experiment has failed miserably? For how long are we going to keep on hearing that our democracy is still young? How many more times must we listen to the 'liberal voice' telling us to grow-up? How many times are we going to be told that we must tolerate the reckless and violent savages living among us?

The Malema-Dilemma Façade

2012-02-06T16:41:00.003+02:00

There’s no doubt in my mind that Malema’s little dilemma is being utilized to the max to mend the ANC’s flawed reputation. The media’s intense exposure of Malema’s suspension, and their excessive use of expressions, which imply that the man is now “guilty”, “finished” and “klaar”, has created the false perception in the minds of the sheeple, that the ANC has beaten their little freedumb fighter into the ground with a sledge hammer.

Although it may appear to some that the ANC are finally upholding democratic values, in reality the whole exercise is nothing but a precautionary measure to protect their backsides. In other words, it’s all a planned façade by the ANC, designed to generate the perception that they are not blameworthy of any crimes against humanity.

Okay, sure enough - Malema has already been found guilty of hate speech on 12 September 2011, after Afriforum brought a case of hate speech against him… However the crutch of the matter is that the South African legal system has, to date, refused to prosecute Malema for incitement to genocide, due partly to the inadequacies of the SA Police Farce to investigate such a crime, and partly due to the confusion created by the international liberal mob as how to define it.

Even the precise definition of "cultural genocide" remains unclear after the drafters of the 1948 Genocide Convention dropped it under strong opposition from western countries, especially the United Kingdom, who feared that too broad a definition of genocide could implicate its activity in its colonies.

Nevertheless, the International Criminal Court (ICC) can exercise its jurisdiction if national courts are unwilling or unable to investigate or prosecute genocide. It was exactly this "court of last resort" that was approached (on more than one occasion) to investigate charges of genocide against Malema, who at the time was considered a fully-fledged supporter of the ruling party and also president of the African National Congress Youth League (ANCYL). The deputy-chairman of TAU SA, Mr. Henk van de Graaf, has apparently, according to this source, also recently lodged a formal genocide-complaint against the ANC-government at the ICC in The Hague.

Although the latest developments in the Malema saga has given Genocide Watch sufficient reason to return South Africa to stage 5 (polarization) on its ‘Countries at Risk Chart’, my argument is - what the hell is a democratic country like South Africa doing on that list in the first place!?!

For the record… The opening paragraph of the latest Genocide Watch report, dated 2 February 2012, states as follows:

After upgrading South Africa to stage 6 “preparation” in September 2011 due to the increasing power of Julius Malema, then the Marxist racist President of the African National Congress Youth League, two quite significant developments have occurred. The first was a South African court’s ruling that Malema’s singing of the “Shoot the Boer” song constitutes “hate speech” in violation of South African law. The court issued an injunction prohibiting Malema from singing the song. The second development is the suspension of Julius Malema from the African National Congress (ANC) and his removal as President of the ANC Youth League. - Read the rest here.

Although I strongly doubt that Malema’s name will ever join the list of people indicted in the International Criminal Court, I still have a very bad feeling about the long-term outcome of the Malema dilemma. In fact, my sentiments were once expressed in a futuristic article, where I promoted this disgusting African to the military rank of General, who was leading the ANC rebel forces in a fierce conflict between the West Arzanian Resistance Movement (WARM) and radical elements of a crushed ANC regime… (Relax, it’s only a futuristic story. I’m not Siener van Rensburg!)

On a more realistic note… The future behaviour of madmen may be difficult to predict, but when these madmen have power, then all sorts of bizarre ‘accomplishments’ are possible. HIS-story books contain numerous examples. Let’s not forget that Forbes Magazine did after-all name this lunatic as one of the "10 Youngest Power Men In Africa", in September 2011 - (source).

Global Warming – No Need For Panic!

2012-02-05T00:30:00.001+02:00

Picture Source: www.flickr.com

I’ve noticed that a previous article on this blog titled, The Climate Change NWO Business-Hoax, which was posted during December 2011, when the COP17 spectacle in Durban was in full-swing, has, to date, received a rather disappointing number of pageviews - (67 in total).

Although it was never my expectation that 1000’s will come rushing to read ‘my simple online abode’ (MYSOA), I was somewhat appalled to discover that, since the article was published, most people I’ve spoken to (and it’s been quite a number) actually believe that “global warming” is the reason why our South African summers are getting hotter by the day.

The only few who do agree with me that the recent hot weather we’re experiencing is not unusual in the context of climate variations over the years, happen to be older folk, who don’t have a clue where to turn on a computer, and couldn't care less what a “blog” is. It is usually these older folk who are more likely to pour scorn on media that promotes the idea of “global warming”.

Or to put it another way…

It is the wiser folk who are not easily awestruck when they see and hear all the spellbinding stuff the noble elite are dishing out on television, and whatever other media they can exploit for their own financial gain.

Now the fact that the word “simple” forms part of this blog’s name doesn’t mean that I, the sole author, is also simple - in the sense that I’m stupid, or that I’m too old to think straight. “Simple” can also mean “uncomplicated”, “straightforward”, or “effortless”. So, when I call something a “Business-Hoax”, you can rest assured that I didn’t simply suck it out of my thumb.

Now let’s get a number of facts straight about the weather, shall we?

I know we’ve had some bloody hot summer days lately, but I can still recall how hot it was in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s, when I spent much of my childhood days on a farm in the Far Northern Transvaal (now Limpopo), between Alldays and Tolwe. The temperatures would sometimes reach mid 40’s (Celsius), and that was in the shade! You would not dare go out in the midday-sun without a hat on your head! The unbearable heat was also the reason why hunters would start out before dawn.

Today -- the same old folk, who used to live on that same farm, are also feeling the abnormal heat. Yet, like me, they can still recall the days, 40-plus years ago, when it was just as hot, and maybe even hotter. Back in those good ‘ol days the farmers had a natural feel for things… and also the ingenious (and sometimes unexplainable) ability to find water deep below the earths surface when the ol’ Mogalakwena ran dry. They seldom blamed the weather for their deficiencies, and terminology such as “global warming” or “climate change”, simply didn’t exist in their vocabulary. They were fully aware that “climate” was a complicated natural phenomenon, and thus adapted their farming strategies accordingly.

Nowadays, people have allowed the so-called ‘experts’ in various fields to counsel them, experts who don’t have the foggiest idea what type of climate we’re going to experience in the next season. Yet, when disaster strikes it is blamed on “global warming”. And – no matter how insignificant the product's failure is, you can bet the global elite will jump at the opportunity to exploit it to the max. There are numerous examples of this deception, and Africa’s 1000-year long harsh climate is an all-time favourite… Here’s one about Rooibos tea, an industry which the BBC reckons is under threat due to… yep, you guessed it – “Climate Change”.

I often meet acquaintances in the street, usually in the shopping parking-area, wearing the skimpiest of clothing, without a hat (now don't get funny ideas), complaining about the unbearable heat. When I casually ask these people, “what’s causing it?”, they’ll instinctively tell me that “global warming” is the cause. I normally reply, “That’s odd, how can it be called ‘GLOBAL’ if the people in the UK are freezing?” Most people will rush off at that point muttering some-or-other lame excuse for rushing off so soon. - Maybe I shouldn't speak to people in parking lots!

On occasion I’ve met some really tolerant and clever people, who have gone to great lengths explaining how global warming is causing the North Pole ice to melt, and that this is the reason why Europe is experiencing such an extremely cold winter. These same folks will also lecture me on the so-called “greenhouse effect”, and how we humans are responsible for CO2 emissions, and how we’re all going to die in about 60 years from now - bla, bla, bla.

Well, I’m pleased to announce that, in spite of a multi-decade international campaign to enforce the message that increasing amounts of the "pollutant" carbon dioxide will destroy civilization, a large number of very prominent scientists (16 in total) all agree that there is No Need to Panic About Global Warming.

The article published in The Wall Street Journal, on 27 January 2012, was jointly signed by all sixteen scientists.

I’ve taken the liberty of listing their names below:

Claude Allegre, former director of the Institute for the Study of the Earth, University of Paris; J. Scott Armstrong, cofounder of the Journal of Forecasting and the International Journal of Forecasting; Jan Breslow, head of the Laboratory of Biochemical Genetics and Metabolism, Rockefeller University; Roger Cohen, fellow, American Physical Society; Edward David, member, National Academy of Engineering and National Academy of Sciences; William Happer, professor of physics, Princeton; Michael Kelly, professor of technology, University of Cambridge, U.K.; William Kininmonth, former head of climate research at the Australian Bureau of Meteorology; Richard Lindzen, professor of atmospheric sciences, MIT; James McGrath, professor of chemistry, Virginia Technical University; Rodney Nichols, former president and CEO of the New York Academy of Sciences; Burt Rutan, aerospace engineer, designer of Voyager and SpaceShipOne; Harrison H. Schmitt, Apollo 17 astronaut and former U.S. senator; Nir Shaviv, professor of astrophysics, Hebrew University, Jerusalem; Henk Tennekes, former director, Royal Dutch Meteorological Service; Antonio Zichichi, president of the World Federation of Scientists, Geneva.

THERE'S NO COMPELLING SCIENTIFIC ARGUMENT FOR DRASTIC ACTION TO 'DECARBONIZE' THE WORLD'S ECONOMY... IF THE ICE CAPS START MELTING... IT WASN'T ME!

Now please spread this article around, or the one on The Wall Street Journal, so that South Africans can stop believing all this global warming deception we’re being fed via the msm.

Special thanks to Alan Caruba, whose recent article brought my attention to the posting in The Wall Street Journal.

Mowing the lawn – A true story

2012-02-03T18:35:00.000+02:00

The story I’ve shared here landed in my inbox this morning. As with so many other stuff I occasionally receive vie e-mail, I don’t always know to whom I should give credit.

The original story was written in Afrikaans - (scroll down to read).

I’ve also taken the liberty of translating it into English…

(Take note: In South Africa garden-labourers are usually Black Africans, and if you happen to not have one, you will most surely be nagged by a constant surge of ‘helpers’ standing at your front gate, begging for a job. Very few will take “NO” for an answer, unless…)

The story…

I experienced an interesting episode during the past holidays:

After we returned home our gardener of many years was also given two weeks leave.

This meant that I had to mow the lawn myself.

The Saturday-morning I was in my oldest PT-shorts and T-shirt, while mowing the lawn on the pedestrian area near the front road. I was in a hurry and wanted to get the job done properly but swiftly. I was in no mood to explain to a new ‘helper’ how I wanted my lawn to be mowed.

But as it usually goes: When you don’t need anybody, then all the help in the world arrives. Everyone wanted to know if they could not ‘acquire’ a piece-job for the day. When the fourth chap arrived standing with hands in his pockets asking for a 'piece-job', the conversation progressed as follows:

Him: “I know the job of cutting lawn; I want the job.”
Me: “Sorry man, I don’t live here, I’m only working for the people who live inside.”
Him: “Hau, the people employ a White for the garden?”
Me: Yes, and they don’t even give me food at lunchtime.”

He then removed a packet of Kent cigarettes and offered me one.
I took one, and he lit it for me. I took about three drags, nipped it, and placed the stub behind my ear.

While he walked away I heard him muttering the following words: “The ANC has stuffed everything up!”

The same story in Afrikaans:

Grassny – ‘n Ware verhaal

Ek het die afgelope vakansie 'n interessante episode beleef:

Nadat ons terug was by die huis, het my tuinhulp van baie jare ook toe
so twee weke se verlof gekry.

Dit het natuurlik beteken dat ekself weer agter die grassnyer moes inskuif.

Die Saterdag-oggend was ek in my oudste PT-broek en T-shirt besig om die gras op die sypaadjie voor ons huis te sny, en ek was haastig en wou die job ordentlik en gou afgehandel kry. Ek was nie lus om vir 'n nuwe voornemende tuinhulp te verduidelik hoe die gras gesny moes word nie.

Maar soos dit maar altyd gaan: As jy niemand nodig het nie, dan daag al die hulp in die wêreld op. Elkeen wil weet of hy nie 'n piece-job vir die dag kan kry nie. Toe die vierde een opdaag en hande in die sakke staan en vra of hy 'n piece-job kan kry, toe verloop die gesprek omtrent soos volg:

Hy: "Ek ken hom die sny van die gras, ek soek die job."
Ek: "Sorry man, ek bly nie hier nie, ek werk net vir die mense wat hier binne bly."
Hy: "Hau, die mense hulle employ 'n whitey by die tuin?"
Ek: "Ja, en hulle gee nie eers kos by lunchtime nie."

Einde van die storie was, dat hy sy pakkie Kent sigarette uithaal, en my een aanbied.
Ek vat toe een, en hy steek hom vir my aan. Ek vat so drie trekke, nip die outjie, en
sit die stompie agter my oor.

So met die wegstap was sy laaste woorde: "Die ANC het alles kom opf...k."

European Parliament made aware of South African Genocide

2012-02-03T17:38:00.000+02:00

The recent visit to Europe by the Transvaal Agricultural Union’s (TAU) deputy-chairman, Mr. Henk van de Graaf, culminated in a presentation to the European Parliament, where he delivered the key note address at a public meeting of all European Parliamentarians on farm killings and other murders of Europeans in South Africa.

Mr. van de Graaf also announced that a formal genocide-complaint against the ANC-government was lodged at the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The full story can be viewed here. See also the recent statement issued by TAU SA, here.

The following two videos portrays a recent interview with Mr. van de Graaf. The interview was, conducted by Mr. Nick Griffin, chairman of the British National Party (BNP) and Member of the European Parliament for North West England.

Reflections of a Blood-Splattered and Cursed Land

2012-02-02T02:06:00.000+02:00


Crosses on display on an outcrop of hills, which form part of the Strydpoort mountain range, between Potgietersrus (Mokopane) and Pietersburg (Polokwane). Each cross represents a farm murder.

Although it is deplorably and sickening to think that six farm-related murders have already occurred in South Africa during the first month of 2012, one must bear in mind that the January death-count related to violent crimes, is far higher than this figure. If we had to add to this figure the number of other deaths caused by vehicle accidents, for example, then I’m sure it’s safe to declare that the month of January 2012 was a blood-spattered one.

This posting is going to reveal, once again, the force that is keeping the ANC government in power, and why all efforts to combat this curse will forever fail if we continue doing what we’re doing now.

The recent brutal murder of a 77-year-old man on his farm near Stella, who had lived on his farm, in peace, all his life, was like so many previous murders of this nature - a sadistic cowardly act that could only have been motivated by intense hatred, stirred on by the curse of the devil.

The pathetic quality of police services in the country has come to the fore on several occasions. It came to the fore, in September 2011, when 10 people accused of murder after a 2009 farm attack in the Free State were acquitted by the Regional Court in Ficksburg. It is again coming to the fore in the Eugène Terre'Blanche murder trial. This dilemma, which is so typical of communist-ruled countries, will probably remain a matter of grave concern until the current rulers are removed from their seats of power. And even IF that happens, it will probably take another 20-odd years to repair the damage they caused.

In the meantime we cannot sit around doing nothing… Petitions don’t work, planting white crosses on a hilltop doesn’t work, and neither will pointing fingers at the media or the government for their lack of enthusiasm. It’s all good-and-well to run campaigns so that the whole world can become aware of the plight of our precious farmers, but in the end it does nothing to stop the senseless killings from continuing… The scumbag murderers do not even watch or read the news. I doubt very much whether these cursed savages are even aware that there’s a silent genocide taking place, and that a small part of the community is in uproar about this.

After performing a brief scrutiny of the most recent murders, it once again dawned on me that the conclusions I reached in an older posting, related to the Root Causes, is definitely on the mark. That same evil spell that has caused the shedding of so much innocent blood in the past, is still haunting us.

Although those ancient perpetrators are long dead and gone, the ANC government still holds regular ceremonies to call those spirits from the dead. Time and time again they’ve called up those same ghosts of the past… It is the same mischievous spirit that was so inherent among the original Nguni people, who migrated from the North and who initiated the slaughter of the indigenous Khoi and San by the multitudes. It was the same spirit that drove the black Caesar, Shaka Zulu, and his henchmen to brutally massacre 1000’s, including their own kind; the same spirit which, by the hands of a cowardly and murderous Mzilikazi, plundered, raped, and slaughtered the Sotho and other clans by the dozens, leaving the old Transvaal scattered with fearful inhabitants and haunted by lions, who had grown bold and fat from feeding on human corpses.

Incidentally, the terrifying destruction that Mzilikazi brought upon the old Transvaal, caused people to build the most peculiar homes. It wasn’t uncommon for traders of that time to find the branches of large trees decorated with weird conical dwellings. A certain Mr. Steedman, compiler of an old book of travels, once described this peculiar tree-houses as follows:

“These are used as dormitories, being beyond the reach of the lions, which, since the incursion of the Mantatees, when so many thousands of persons were massacred, have become very numerous in the neighbourhood, and destructive to human life. The branches of these trees are supported by forked sticks or poles, and there are three tiers or platforms on which the huts are constructed…”

Click here to read a vivid and detailed account of Mzilikazi’s exploits, as described by the talented Thomas Bulpin, in chapter 4 of his book: “Lost Trials of the Transvaal”.

Today, the situation is no different… We are still as fearful as ever, and live in a world dominated by keys, locked gates, barricaded walls, security cameras, and alarm sensors of all sorts, in complexes patrolled 24-hours by armed security guards… WELCOME TO SOUTH AFRICA!

Incidentally, about one week ago I was almost shot by a gun-slinging lunatic, who mistook me for an intruder. The incident happened when I gave a friend of mine a lift to a complex one evening where he had some personal business to attend to. While I was waiting in the parking lot in my own vehicle, listening to the radio and minding my own business, a resident of the complex (I assume), who reeked of alcohol, suddenly appeared from nowhere and jammed the barrel of a gun in my face. I am now more convinced than ever that the miserable state of affairs in this country is causing people to go bonkers!

One can go on-and-on talking about this destructive force, which our HIS-Story books so pertinently describe, often in a manner that shrewdly conceals the real culprits and places the blame on others. That same evil spirit was unleashed during the 2nd Boer War, -- through the merciless hands of Kitchener and his henchmen, who brought immeasurable suffering, death, and destruction to the lives of so many innocent woman and children, and a hatred for the English that still lingers on in the minds of way too many.

Then came the Border Wars and the Communist onslaught, wave after wave… until the sudden illusory announcement that it no longer exists. Yet, the evidence is clear for all to see that we’re still being haunted by that same ol’ spirit – the same one that murdered the Biblical Abel… “He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him…” (John 8:44 KJV)

It’s a spirit that the ANC government pays tribute to during their satanic rituals, and it’s the same spirit that keeps them in power. It will also be the same power that will place the next round of rulers in control, UNLESS we acknowledge the fact that it’s not such a clever idea after-all to worship many gods, and that certain powers beyond our control can only be defeated by ‘ONE SUPERIOR POWER’ that is far mightier than all those other ‘gods’ and evil spirits put together.

Lastly, before I log off…
An interesting, but disturbing, phenomenon I picked up while reading the news reports, was the role played by the excessive use of alcohol in several murder cases. It also appears to be the main cause of road fatalities in the country. Although I myself enjoy a glass of good red wine on occasion, or a cold beer when I’m hot and thirsty, they don’t call this stuff “SPIRITS” for nothing!

They’re all Baboons… The Entire Troop!

2012-01-31T16:16:00.000+02:00

Humans that behave like baboons is not an uncommon spectacle in Africa. You see this sort of thing all the time. It’s a particularly common occurrence in the South African parliament… In fact, there’s even a YouTube video out, that demonstrates this behaviour quite superbly.

One of the most prominent African baboons lives in Zimbabwe. His name is Robert Mugabe. This specific species is notorious for its remarkable ability to wreck an entire country in record time. Several members of this same species have managed to swamp the government structures of South Africa. It’s only a matter of time before they too will have wrecked SA, in a similar fashion they brought Zimbabwe to ruin.

And now for the latest news, brought to you by news24.com :

Baboons wreak havoc at Zim border post

Harare - Troops of bag-snatching, truck-looting baboons are causing chaos at a border post between Zimbabwe and Zambia in daily raids for food, NewsDay reported on Tuesday.

"Baboons are an issue that must be dealt with here because they destroy travellers’ goods," the Zimbabwe Revenue Authority station manager at the Chirundu border post, Tichaona Phiri, told the newspaper.

"Sometimes they bite or clap people on their faces if they try to defend their property and they can snatch ladies' handbags and even destroy cars as they search for food."

The apes also tear up sacks of maize on trucks moving through the border, a committee of lawmakers was told during a visit to the site, located in a national park.

"These baboons can smell maize on trucks and considering their huge numbers, it is very difficult to control them," the newspaper quoted Phiri as saying.

"But the problem is that they behave like human beings and are very good tricksters," said Phiri.

Looming Poverty created by an Incompetent Government

2012-01-30T17:05:00.000+02:00

Although some of my personal sufferings and afflictions have already siphoned off in a few postings on this blog, I am by nature not the type who usually talks openly about these things. Besides the fact that it can sometimes be humiliating to share, with total strangers, the reasons why you’re having sleepless nights, “PRIDE” is another reason why many of us prefer not to advertise the fact we are on the verge of "dead broke", and have no idea when, or from where, the next source of income will be coming.

Call me whatever names you want, but I simply cannot find long-term consolation in the fact that numerous others are also suffering financially. I’ve seen way too many poverty-stricken people in this democrazy country, who simply don’t want to lift a finger to improve their situation. Granted, there may be a few sitting at the bottom of the pit of hopelessness and despair, and who don’t have the energy to get up and carry on with their lives; there are also a considerable number who prefer to keep their lives in a state of perpetual poverty, as long as there’s enough energy left to beg, steal and borrow from others. Of course, other entities also exist, who are not poverty stricken, like the ANC government for example, who beg, steal, and borrow – simply because they can!

Not a day goes by in this stuffed-up country that I do not meet ordinary hard-working folk, who are battling like hell to keep their heads above water. Many of these people are personal acquaintances of mine, and not merely facebook pals. It is disturbing to see how the numbers who fall in this category are growing by the day - people with kids at school or university and who, not too long ago, where living reasonably comfortable lives... in other words - just making it every month!

Due mainly to my own stubborn pride and reluctance to share my personal circumstances with every Tom, Dick and Harry, many of these people have asked me to help them out. They seldom ask for money, but usually request that I promote their services, or help sell their products, which I’ve often done (for pasella) if my resources and time allows it. If I really do know the person well enough and helping out is going to cost me money, I’ll tell them straight: – “Hey buddy, welcome to the Rock Bottom Club!”

Occasionally, I’ll charge a small fee depending on how intricate or time-consuming the task is, and how much of my own money I’ve spent completing the job. However, if they don’t pay (and this happens quite often) – even after they’ve received the “Final Legal Warning” per registered mail, I’ll simply flush them from memory and pray that we never cross paths again. Taking all these people to court, in a country where the system is already bursting at its seams, is only going to waste more precious time and money! While the number of poor people are on the rise, other factors such as stress, exhaustion, and health problems are also taking its toll, because as I’ve stated in an older (2009) posting, we are all Prisoners of War.

IT’S CALLED SOCIALIST-COMMUNISM !

The fact that I’m subscribed via e-mail, to a leading and most innovative investment service provider does not make me rich. (Forgive me for not mentioning the name, as I’m done with free advertising. It is NOT any one of the familiar Banks or big Investment Groups!) The only reason why I’m subscribed is to keep track of risk-factors that may influence the very small retirement-investment I have.

This morning the regular e-mail subscription was accompanied by an additional message, which said:

I hope you don’t mind me mailing the following story to you, but this came across my desk this morning and I think this is a matter of national interest. I have no idea who the author is, but it is good enough to be shared. Here goes:

(The e-mail came with the subject heading: “Our beloved incompetent government”. TAKE NOTE: I’m not in total agreement with the author's views about the Arab Awakening, as I'm quite sure it was an event sponsored by the devil himself... The rest, however, is definitely worthwhile sharing):

“I think, and I am sure that many of you are the same, that the tolls are a disgrace, both the extortionate toll fees themselves and also the widely published fact that we are expected to pay up to R18 BILLION over the next 10 years just to collect the toll fees. I wanted to share the clarity of thought in this mail and agree that I will not be installing anything on my car.

They are not going to have easy access to my bank account – they say they want a debit order – forget it. Send me a bill (by registered mail) every time.

Together we can make this whole thing fail – as it should. Let the toll gates stay there, not working, as monuments to people power. Let’s call this the start of the SA Awakening, look what the normal people are achieving in North Africa with the Arab Awakening.

I hope this goes around at least a billion times.

Taxes and Open Road Toll Fees

People should not install the transponders but still use the highways and force the government to issue accounts and summonses to all motorists until such time they drop the prices. The government will be forced to send out millions of accounts every month and they don’t have the manpower to do it. This is the best and easiest way to boycott the system.

What is the government going to do about motorists from other neighboring countries that don’t have these transponders? South Africans are too complacent and its time we fight back.

WE have paid for these roads. Now they are also proposing a 1% tax to fund the SABC.

Circulate this to all your friends!!!!!!!!

Has anyone thought just how much tax we are already paying?

35% on your salary
14% on everything you buy (bar fresh produce) and services rendered.
Carbon tax if you buy a new car (besides the 14% VAT you have to pay)
Tax on the fuel you put in your car to run it.
Toll on our roads –

For some it is going to come to a whopper of 10% of your salary (If you earn R10 000.00 a R1 000 would go toward tolling if you migrate between PTA and JHB every day.) – Bully to try and pacify me with the idea that I can claim it back from my income tax!!! I have to fork out the money first. Going on holiday to DBN? Remember to save up your R1000.00 for tolling.

To say the least – For every R10.00 you earn, the government is already taking approx R6.00 and still they want more. Are you happy with the R4.00 you are getting?

NICE!!!!!

When are we going to get up and do something about it? Where is all the money going to? It is definitely not being spent on what it should be – our hospitals are in a state of disrepair, our schools in shambles, our roads full of potholes, our water contaminated, sewers not working, left in the dark because Eskom failed to do their upgrades, the poor are poorer still, municipalities on the brink of collapse, and so the list goes on.

Heard about the youth day celebration that cost R100 million?

Mmmm… did you pay for it?

Oh yes sir/madam you did! R100 million that could have paid for a couple of things our country needed more.

And to put the numbers in perspective:

The next time you hear an SA politician use the word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about whether you wanted the ‘politicians’ spending YOUR tax money.

A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of its press releases:

A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were living in the Stone Age.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
A billion Rand ago was only 27 hours and 12 minutes at the rate our SA government is spending it. (a billion rand a day??!!)

Building Permit Tax
Cigarette Tax
Corporation Tax
Income Tax
Value Added Tax
Fishing License Tax
Food License Tax
Fuel License Tax
Petrol/Diesel Tax
Hunting License Tax
Luxury Tax
Property Tax
Service charge taxes
Capital gains Tax
Social Security Tax
Securities Transfer Tax
Road Usage Tax
Local Tax
Vehicle License Registration Tax

Worker’s Compensation Tax

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Hardly any of these taxes existed 20 years ago…
And our nation was one of the most prosperous in Africa.

We had absolutely no national debt…

We had the largest middle class in Africa and Mum stayed home to raise the kids.

What happened?

ANSWER:

The Government is ‘running’ the country INTO THE GROUND – on YOUR and MY ‘billions’!!!

I hope this letter goes around at least a billion times….”

Well folks, there you have it!

Oldest dinosaur nesting site found in South Africa

2012-01-28T21:12:00.000+02:00

A 190 million year old dinosaur nesting sight has been found in the Golden Gate Highlands National Park.

This nest is apparently more than 100 million years older than previously known nesting sites.

The site belonged to an early pro-sauropod dinosaur of the early Jurassic called Massospondylus, and reveals significant clues about how complex reproductive behaviours evolved in early dinosaurs.

The six metre mother appeared to have maintained an organised nest, suggesting she arranged the eggs carefully after laying them.

The clutches of eggs, many with embryos and tiny dinosaur footprint, are the oldest known evidence of hatchlings staying in their nests long enough to at least double in size.

"The eggs, embryos, and nests come from the rocks of a nearly vertical road cut only 25 metres long," said Prof. Robert Reisz of the the University of Toronto at Mississauga, who led the study.

"Even so, we found ten nests, suggesting that there are a lot more nests in the cliff, still covered by tons of rock. We predict that many more nests will be eroded out in time, as natural weathering processes continue," Reisz said.

The study was co-authored by Doctors Hans-Dieter Sues (Smithsonian Institute, USA), Eric Roberts (James Cook University, Australia), and Adam Yates (Bernard Price Institute (BPI) for Palaeontological Research at Wits).

It was published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The full study can be read here...(PDF 1475KB)

Four Farm Murders and Five Farm Attacks in 22 Days – South Africa

2012-01-23T23:30:00.000+02:00

Murdered farmer: Mr. Francois du Toit
Picture sourced from Beeld.com

According to Mr Henk den Graaf, spokesperson for TAU SA, there has already been 4 cases of farm related murders this year, and 5 incidents of farm related attacks. This is truly a disturbing tendency, considering that we are still in the first month of the New Year.

In the most recent attack, a farmer, a certified nutrition specialist, from Mpumalanga was murdered last night (22 Jan 2012), on the farm Kwalata nearby Roossenekal.

At time of posting no news reports in English could be found on the Internet, i.e. -- using the deceased’s name or his workplace as a search reference.

The following Afrikaans report was sourced online from landbou.com:

Voedingskundige vermoor in plaasaanval

Deur CORLI VAN DER MERWE
23 Januarie 2012

’n Boer en voedingskundige van Mpumalanga is gisteraand (22 Januarie 2012) doodgeskiet in waarskynlik die vierde plaasmoord vanjaar.

Mnr. Francois du Toit, wat as voedingskundige by Alzu Voere gewerk het, is op die plaas Kwalata naby Roossenekal in Mpumalanga aangeval. Mnr. Henk den Graaf, woordvoerder vir die TLU SA, sê Du Toit het sy honde op die plaas hoor blaf en gaan ondersoek instel. Hy is glo geskiet pas nadat hy die voordeur oopgemaak het.

Volgens ’n kollega van Du Toit by Alzu Voere wat nie sy naam genoem wil hê nie, was daar vermoedelik drie aanvallers by die plaasmoord betrokke. Hulle het Du Toit se vrou en kinders vasgebind en met vuurwapens en selfone in twee van die egpaar se voertuie gevlug. Die voertuie is later op die plaas teruggevind.

Geweldige slag
Volgens dié kollega was Du Toit ’n gewaardeerde kollega en is sy dood ’n geweldige slag vir die maatskappy. Intussen sê Van den Graaf dat die TLU SA baie bekommerd is oor die aantal plaasmoorde en -aanvalle wat tot dusver vanjaar plaasgevind het.

“Daar was sover vier plaasmoorde en vyf aanvalle volgens ons rekord. Drie van die plaasmoorde was in Noordwes en nou dié een in Mpumalanga. Dit is baie kommerwekkend. As die res van die jaar teen dieselfde trant voortgaan, gaan dit ’n swart en bloederige jaar wees,” sê Van den Graaf.

Die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens kon nog nie bereik word vir kommentaar nie.

Thabo Mbeki on the Frightening Reality of ‘False Knowledge’

2012-01-23T23:29:00.000+02:00

Former President Thabo Mbeki

I started exploring the marvels of the Internet and e-mails roughly at the same time when Thabo Mbeki became the 2nd Black African President of South Africa in June 1999. Although I wasn’t paying too much attention to all the intricate details of politics at the time, I do recall that I once subscribed to Mbeki’s weekly column in the ANC newsletter called, “ANC Today”, with the sole purpose of figuring out what was going on in the mind of the man who was going to be running the country I so dearly loved.

I was, of course, also trying to determine whether it was worthwhile, or not, that I acquire the latest copy of Frommer’s Comprehensive Travel Guide to the U.S.A., because by then I already had a number of good reasons to believe that South Africa was not going to become the land of sunshine, hope, and opportunity for all its peoples.

To be truly honest… I never anticipated that the country was going to retreat into the satanic hellhole it has now become… If I only had the foresight to see what was coming, but I suppose it's too late now to cry over spilt milk!

Nevertheless, if one removes certain political blunders out of the equation, bearing in mind that some of them were formulated by the “Masters of Darkness” and that many politicians are mere puppets in the game; and start categorizing the African leaders into columns of “good”, “average” or “bad”, based on their intellect (academic wise) and belief-systems that are more-or-less comparable with conventional Christian views, Thabo Mbeki would most probably end up in the middle column – neither “good” nor “bad”.

It was only later, sometime in the year 2002, when I managed to read a copy of Mbeki’s famous speech, "I am an African", that the reality of the fact struck me that I was indeed also, “an African”, and that the colour of my skin did not change that fact. Since then, I’ve often wondered how many other ‘White Africans’ abandoned thoughts of leaving South Africa - not only due to Mbeki’s speech, but also due to ‘false knowledge’ that was imprinted into our heads.

A PDF version of Mbeki’s "I am an African" speech can be downloaded here – (34.7 Kb).

Political blunders and controversies aside – the Marxist-Communists never considered Thabo Mbeki a big fan of theirs. In fact, Mbeki drew heavy criticism from these bunch of vipers for his perceived abandonment of state-interventionist social democratic economic policies – such as nationalization, land reform, and democratic capital controls – actions that were in total contradiction to the ANC’s prescribed Freedom Charter.

During a recent speech, delivered at the University of Stellenbosch Business School’s Knowledge Management Conference in Bellville, Mbeki made a number of intelligent comments related to the role of “knowledge” in the betterment of society. He also raised a few sensitive questions concerning what exactly constitutes “knowledge”, what knowledge are we talking about when we embrace the term, and most important of all… Who ‘manages’ it?

In the light of the fact that several articles on this blog have focused on ‘informing’ readers that there is a cunning and mischievous hand at work behind world affairs, and that the main stream media (msm) is used as one of their most powerful propaganda tools, I thought it would be most appropriate to draw attention to the fact that there are also knowledgeable people, like Thabo Mbeki for example, who are aware of this fact. Sadly, it is for this same reason why people, who expose this sort of treachery, are often shunned and/or scorned.

Although Mbeki, evidently due to his alliance with the ANC, has not done much to expose by name-and-rank the evil brood responsible for propagating the world’s ‘false knowledge’, he did not play around with words when he suggested that ‘false knowledge’ is at variance with ‘the objective truth’, and even provided a few examples to prove his point.

Thabo Mbeki: Extract from speech made on 16 January, 2012.

The following are extracts from his recent speech delivered on 16 January 2012:

Start of extract…

Accordingly, I would suggest that in the context of the challenging themes of this important Conference, you take some time to inquire into such specific matters which relate to ‘the betterment of global human society’ as:

(i) the obligations of the developed world towards Africa, in the context of what the influential British magazine, ‘The Economist’, in an ‘illustrative’ cover page in May 2000, characterised as ‘The hopeless continent’;

[The false ‘knowledge’ about Africa arising from such prejudiced reporting has, inter alia, discouraged investors from making their capital available for the development of Africa, thus serving as a self-fulfilling prediction.]

(ii) the 2003 war against Iraq;

[The false ‘knowledge’ was propagated that Iraq possessed ‘weapons of mass destruction’, which was not true, but was used to launch a war which has generated immense problems both for Iraq and, at least, the wider Middle East region.]

(iii) the 2011 activation of the concept of the “responsibility to protect” relating to the enforcement of the so-called “no-flight zone” concerning Libya;

[The false ‘knowledge’ was advanced that the Khaddafi regime was about to slaughter millions of civilians. This was used to justify the imposition of a ‘no-flight-zone’ over Libya, which served as a cover to overthrow the Libyan Government and impose a regime approved by the Western Powers, in their interest.]

(iv) the behaviour of global financial capital, which led to the 2008 financial and economic crisis, from which the world economy has not yet recovered, and which resulted in the impoverishment of millions throughout the world;

[Financial capital communicated false ‘knowledge’ especially about US mortgage loans, the so-called sub-prime lending, which nearly resulted in an more punishing global economic depression.]

(v) the role of the international Firms of Accountants in the context of Corporate governance;

[Major global Accounting Firms communicated false ‘knowledge’ about then major firms, such as Enron, which resulted in the loss of billions of dollars by honest investors, including workers’ pension funds.]

(vi) successive scares about world health;

[The Council of Europe has asserted that false ‘knowledge’ was propagated during 2009, which resulted in billions of tax-payer dollars being spent in many countries to respond to a fictional ‘swine flu epidemic’, which benefited the globally dominant and highly profitable pharmaceutical companies.]

(vii) the year 2000 Y2K scare.

[The false ‘knowledge’ that the world would seize-up because of an end-of-century computer mal-function proved to be unfounded, having no scientific basis.]

I mention these particular instances only as examples, and most certainly not as a comprehensive catalogue of instances which illustrate the grave challenge all humanity faces to confront the critical issues that are the subject of this important Conference, of the management of knowledge in the interests of genuine human advancement.

In my view, all these instances confirm the timeliness of precisely the two important themes of this Conference, certainly in their macro-social implications, that “knowledge” should be ‘democratised’ and should be used to ‘better’ the human condition.

At the same time, they illustrate the destructive potential of the abuse of “knowledge” by those who exercise preponderant power, to propagate their version of “knowledge” for selfish ends, as exposed in the example we cited earlier, relating to the contest between The (US) Weekly Standard and The Washington Post.

Thus the question arises organically – does it not stand to reason that the ‘knowledge’ generally available to society to effect its own ‘betterment’ is in fact such ‘knowledge’ as the preponderant powers would permit to be ‘available’, in their own interest!

I say this because of the frightening reality contemporary society faces, of the capacity of a small but powerful minority of humanity, to determine what society should ‘know’, which passes as ‘knowledge’.

End of extract.

The Celebration of a Struggle

2012-01-23T23:07:00.001+02:00

The following was published earlier this month by a user on News24.com. Since so many people have emailed it to me, I thought I may as well share it here...

I live in Bloemfontein and as most people know by now our city is hosting the celebrations of the ANC centenary. Some positives of this celebration is the fixing of potholes in the streets (at last), the replacement of worn out South African flags at the city entrances and the re-painting of faded road signs on the road.

But most of all one notices the hundreds of banners and posters on every lamppost just to make sure everyone knows that the ANC is 100 years old. One of these posters that caught my eye was the one that says: “Celebrating 100 years of selfless struggle.”

This made me realise that that is exactly the problem with the ANC. It has been struggling for 100 years. At first the struggle was against apartheid, but since 1994 they are struggling to govern. They struggle to find honest leaders. Many senior ANC officials have been or are currently being prosecuted. They even struggle to find an honest chief of police, failing twice! They struggle to improve education.

Even though they are spending a larger percentage of the budget on education than most countries, education in the so-called township schools went from bad to worst and South Africa is now worse off than in the latter years of apartheid. They struggle to provide proper health care. Hospitals that were once some of the best in Africa (and even the world) are now mismanaged and in a disastrous condition.

Perhaps where they are struggling the most is Local Government and service delivery. Towns that were once beautiful, clean, well run municipalities, are now in a terrible state. Just drive through places like Mokopane (previously Potgietersrus), Makhado (Louis Trichardt) and even Mthatha to see this deterioration. Corruption, self-interest and greed have unfortunately ensured that the struggle continued since 1994.

I sincerely hope that the 100th year of struggle is the last one. I hope that Pres Zuma will announce that 2012 will now be the first year of achievement and striving for excellence! Let’s all hope that the ANC will now put skill, knowledge, experience and innovation on the top of their requirements list when new leaders are chosen. Please stop struggling and start performing!
