ANC politicizes Canadian Fire

African National Congress (ANC), Canada, Jim Crow, South Africa

It used to be that one helped one’s fellow-man if his house was on fire. Perhaps I just misunderstood that point somewhere back there. Now it seems to work differently. Then again, let me not confuse the gushing Canadians; after all, they are so very nice. But they really can do with some education in the matter of the rest of the planet. They also need some training in when they are being used. Then again, I guess for liberal people a bleeding heart is a joy forever.

As a man born in South Africa with a great a consuming love of that country and continent, I felt quite charmed when I heard over the last few days that South African firemen were coming over to Canada to help with the Fort MacMurray fire. Don’t tell anyone, but I actually felt proud.

And then the arch liberal Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (The Liberal Party Tribute Channel here in Canada) ran a  video this morning of dancing Zulu firefighters arriving at Edmonton on the way to Fort MacMurray. The Business News Network has also run an article.

And then the CBC commentator added with an “aw-schucks” attitude that this was being done to thank Canada for its “help in removing apartheid”. (Indeed, at a farewell ceremony in Johannesburg,  Barbara Thomson, the South African deputy Minister of Environmental Affairs, had recalled Canada’s help for the fight against apartheid. “As South Africans, we feel indebted to the Canadian people,” she had  told the ceremony).

It was THEN—and only then—that I noticed the firefighters were all black. (Thinks: And there I thought the ANC insisted that all should be done by racial quota reflecting the national population split. So some 12% of them should have been white and a few Coloured and Indian).

And then the entirely innocent firefighters did their “dance & song routine”. An earlier CBC video is HERE [click]. And I read the faces of the people watching in this morning’s video: “Mommy, Mommy! Aw, ain’t that nice. Lookee there Mommy, black man do Jim Crow! Can we take him home with us, pleeeeeeeease mommy!”

For those not familiar with the term, I quote the “illustrious” Wikipedia, because that is likely the only homework Canadians will do:

The origin of the phrase “Jim Crow” has often been attributed to “Jump Jim Crow”, a song-and-dance caricature of blacks performed by white actor Thomas D. Rice in blackface, which first surfaced in 1832 and was used to satirize Andrew Jackson’s populist policies. As a result of Rice’s fame, “Jim Crow” by 1838 had become a pejorative expression meaning “Negro”. When southern legislatures passed laws of racial segregation directed against blacks at the end of the 19th century, these became known as Jim Crow laws.

Americans consider apartheid as being Jim Crow laws.

And this took me back to a visit I had to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe around 1996. At the hotel that night an event was run which contained some dancing by  a collection of young Matabele/Ama’Ndebele men, descendents of the men who fought with Mzilikatze. As an Afrikaner, I had some understanding of the history and the pride. Furthermore, after Mzilikatze’s defeat by the Afrikaners, he moved his people north into what is now southwestern Zimbabwe, where they remained and kept good relations with the Afrikaners of the Transvaal Republic. King Lobengula was a friend to the supposedly hated Afrikaners. More can be read about that in the book AmaBhulu (Click here).

After the event, when everyone went back to their “cabanas”, the Zulu dance troop (The ama’Ndebele are strongly Zulu-derived and speak a form of Zulu) came walking by toward their quarters. A stupid British tourist thought it fit to do a little jig in front of the one Ndebele man, who promptly told him dismissively,

“You go jump for yourself”.

I thought that was just a perfect response and gave the Ndebele man a quiet thumbs-up and a wry smile, and he nodded his head to me in acknowledgement. Not a word was spoken, but we understood each other.

Nevertheless, the issue here is that the ANC government, instead of sending firemen to help the sorely tried Canadians at Fort MacMurray, is actually promoting the ANC and keeping the word “apartheid” alive to its own political benefit by expediently abusing the misery of the good folks of Fort Mac. But Canadians are way too nice to say “no thanks” to black people. That would be Politically Incorrect.

Meanwhile the innocent Zulu contingent is being given a crash course in how to be firefighters. I wonder how many real firefighters are drawn away from doing the actual firefighting in order to do this training. I trust the medical backup is ready, because these innocent people are fire beaters in South Africa, not what a Canadian understands by the term “firefighter”.

And the Canadians? They’re going “how cute!” and “How nice!“. They are much taken with the dancing and how “these people inspire one another through dancing and singing!”

Yeah, right! Wait till they see people, much like these, toyi-toyi with machetes in their hands, and then we’ll talk again.

Oops! I forgot! THINKS: They don’t know what toyi-toyi is. Well, then, LOOK IT UP!

I repeat, the actual group of 300 is entirely innocent. The ANC is not.

Consider this an open letter to Ms Thomson:

Next time a Canadian asks you why these young people came to help, you say, “Because the good people of Fort MacMurray are human beings, they are in trouble, and as fellow human beings we are morally obliged to help as best we can.” Then, for good measure, you can add, “As for myself, I will now shut up and actually do the job I’m supposed to do.”

Chinese Racism and South Africa

China, Racism, South Africa

Mainland China has been buying up tracts of South Africa and Chinese citizens have been given Honorary Black status in the country to avoid the anti-white discrimination by the government’s BEE laws. See the book AmaBhulu for this legislation and its consequences. China has ventured into Africa before in modern history. They helped Zambia and Tanzania build the Tan-Zam railway line. However, in the end, the Africans always push them out again. The reason for that reaction may be in the following commercial which this week revealed the Chinese view of Black people. Now and then in life, the truth accidentally comes out, and so now we know what China really thinks. [click on image to see video]

Of course the “deeply outraged” are piling on. See for example the following outraged young lady with suitable fern and books and accompanying laptop. She actually provides another useful example of the deeper issue. [click on image to see video]

Ja well no fine!

South Africa: Canada finally notices

African National Congress (ANC), Corruption, Donald Trump, Obama, South Africa

The Globe and Mail, a leading newspaper in Canada, is today running the article below on the subject of the Gupta brothers and their attempts to execute what is in effect a coup in South Africa by corrupting the ANC government. Given the nature of the ANC, that would not have been much of a challenge. A government that (1) passes acts like the BEE Act [See Chapter 29; p.549 of AmaBhulu] and that (2) protects its president, Jacob Zuma, against literally hundreds charges of corruption cannot be morally salvaged. Zuma is shown below with one of his several wives and the Obama couple.

Instead of “coup d’ etat”, the term “state capture” was used by parties in the article. I do not see how that changes the concept. If anything, it is more emphatic.

Click here for the Globe and Mail article

Americans would do well to think twice about having dealings with a government that is so easily corrupted. It speaks to a lack of any moral fibre and will come to bite those who deal with them, and most likely they will be bitten in the legal posterity. You have hereby been warned.

The Guptas (below), for their part, seem to have realized the scope of the issue, because they were reported to have fled the country six weeks ago by departing from Lanseria, an airport west of Pretoria with no Customs & Immigration control. While the reports are being denied, the details of the flight are very specific. The reader can judge for himself from the later article to which I link HERE. Four banks also dropped all their business with the brothers.

It is remarkable that the spokesperson would suggest (at minute 4:20) that “in a country where we have had major corruption scandals” they are “singled out” by the banks for punishment. Is he suggesting they ARE INDEED involved in corruption?

Donald Trump, please take note. If you become president, you will have to deal with this situation. It is unavoidable. Your present president prefers to be photographed with the basic core of the problem, Jacob Zuma. You should be thankful Zuma did not put your president in leopard skin.

South Africa is finally African

African National Congress (ANC), Democracy, Polygamy, South Africa

Earlier this month the Sowetan (Live) published an ARTICLE under the above title. Author Prince Mashele may well have been in a cynical frame of mind when he wrote this piece, but he is spot-on correct. In a country where the state broadcaster is instructing its personnel to NOT broadcast any scenes of the true mayhem in the country, the truth is refreshing, if frightening. One imagines they prefer to rather transmit scenes of the president’s various polygamous marriages (below) where he demonstrates his dancing abilities in leopard skin. One can only wonder at the symbolism of the machete, or panga, as it is known in South Africa. It is less than clear whether this image was taken at a marriage to one of his present four wives.

And yet there are people who delude themselves into thinking they are still living in a Western country just beacuse they can get an ATM to work and they have a working cell phone. Perhaps one has to look from the outside to realise that idea is long dead.

For those whites who think that they can mystically gain acceptance like the character of Richard Harris in A man called Horse, I need to explain: it will never happen; that was a movie (below). Wake up; they will just laugh at you and then make you sit up and beg. If you have a black South African friend, ask him. He’ll tell you that. He won’t bite you. He’ll just be honestly mystified at how it is you do not realize that.

If the realization that South Africa, after 22 years of the Black Nationalist Socialist ANC government, is now more like Cameroon than Canada comes as a shock, then the international observer can only shake his head at the mass delusion to date. I have considered this stupefacted behaviour as being Boiled Frog Syndrome for well nigh two decades. Any person who has had other views after Thabo Mbeki effectively took over from Mandela in 1997 has been actively misleading himself. The writing was on the wall in that year for all who cared to take note.

If they had refused to notice when ANC political officers were being put into the everyday workplace as part of “Cadre Deployment” in 1999-2000, then they had to have lacked normal human powers of perception.

If they still did not comprehend this by 2004 when the Black Economic Empowerment laws were implemented, actively doing white people out of their livelihoods with malice aforethought, then they were willfully deaf and blind.

If they still refused to believe it in early 2008 when it was announced that the Scorpions (The South African FBI) was to be shut down, then they could not possibly have realised that a massive number of ANC members of Parliament were under investigation by said Scorpions. Instead, folks focused on the old psychological standby of “Braaivleis, Rugby, Sunny Skies and Chevrolet“; they preferred to polish their Mercedes, have a barbecue, and watch rugby.

If they did not understand that the Marikana Massacre of 16 August 2012 was none other than the BEE laws backfiring in the hands of Cyril Ramaphosa like a rusty barreled handgun, then I cannot help them. They clearly do not want to hear, understand, or act.

It is now another four years later, and when South Africans had an opportunity in 2014 to turn this disaster around, they ignorantly and stupidly voted yet again for the hapless Idi Amin-like character, Jacob Zuma (image above).  They look away while he steals the country blind and instead they threaten completely helpless white people. And the ANC keeps siccing the uneducated on white people.

Author Prince Mashele is correct when he says South Africa is now “just another African country“. What else did people expect!? The revelation here is that a thinking black man has finally realized it and has appreciated that there is a difference between a Western Country and an African Basket Case. Clearly the majority of voters have zero clue what this means.

In the absence of the ANC being removed from power, that country cannot conceivably be saved from itself. Those few people of all races who have the insight and intelligence to save the situation are completely outnumbered by millions who are absolutely clueless, and thoroughly incapable of a rational decision.

And Prince Mashele knows this.

SA Government confuses founder of country with “Jesus Christ”

African National Congress (ANC), Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, United States

I swear, one cannot make up this stuff. If it were not for the fact that the monstrously racist ANC government of South Africa has the majority in Parliament and is busy stealing the country blind, it would be hysterically funny. Certainly, the opposition member’s retort that the ANC member at the podium appears to be confusing Jan van Riebeeck with Jesus Christ is amusing.

Click on the image below to play the video of the singular event that elevated to Biblical levels the first Dutch commander of the Cape of Good Hope, who arrived on 6 April 1652, about 364 years ago. That would be rather less than 2,000 years ago. The indigenous people at the Cape were Khoekhoe people, a completely different human race from the Black Ba’Ntu people of Africa south of the Sahara. The Khoekhoe lived in dread of the Blacks further to the east. Until the 20th century, Black people lived east of the Fish River, some 600 miles east of Cape Town.

The opposition members may certainly laugh as they do in this parliamentary video, but I do not think they appreciate that the vast majority of young Blacks (all born into abject political privilege after the end of apartheid) actually BELIEVE this kind of utter rubbish the ANC is indoctrinating them with. They have absolutely zero concept of their own real history. They should be viewed as dangerous and unstable human containers who have undergone Colin Farrell’s character’s memory implant (image below) from the movie Total Recall.

Many of them truly and devoutly believe their ancestors were at the Cape of Good Hope before white men got there, whereas, in fact, their own recent ancestors—often their very own parents—were the recent immigrants to the country west of the Fish River in the East of the country. The country will eventually pay an enormous price for this rubbish.

It is roughly the equivalent of trying to suggest the Plains Sioux Indian ancestors of Sitting Bull welcomed the Pilgrim Fathers on the beaches of Massachusetts. Perhaps the fact that even some Black members of Parliament could not disguise their amusement is cause for some hope. This is how pathetic life has become in South Africa…. that one should hang onto an embarrassed smile as constituting hope.

South African Police raping women

African National Congress (ANC), Democracy, Human Rights, South Africa

One of the first things the African National Congress did when it came to power in South Africa in 1994, was to start abusing the institutions of the state to give jobs to its supporters. Beyond the immediate government Departments, the party pushed its people into the Defence Force, Police, Post Office, Telkom, and other such bodies. In the process, it turned the Defence Force into a dangerous vector for AIDS in Africa. To quote from the report by the Institute for Security Studies in this link (page 62),

Concern that peacekeepers may serve as vectors for the spread of the disease have been reinforced by ongoing accusations of sexual abuse perpetrated by peacekeepers.

In the next phase, it insinuated political officers into semi-state organizations such as the defence industry, national research bodies and the like. Exactly how that worked may be read in the book AmaBhulu – The Birth and Death of the Second America.

After 2002, it turned its focus on private industry and, using the brazenly racist Black Economic Empowerment legislation, it started forcing larger companies to discriminate against white employees, white managers, and white-owned suppliers to their companies. So deluded were Canadians, for example, that morally suspect investment firms in Canada listed funds with investments in such BEE-approved companies as being “Ethical Investments”. Perhaps “Ethical” means something else in Canadian English than in the rest of the Anglophone world.

When this author visited South Africa in 2012, after 18 years of this process, the ANC effort of obliterating the lives and culture of any white people wherever they possibly could had reached even the Museum system. Hordes of black people were stacked at the entrances to these institutions doing Heaven knows what. At no institution of its type was there ever just one black person manning reception. They were always a group, often outnumbering the actual visitors.

At two separate museums, hundreds of miles apart, the author was told by the white managers that they were leaving and that their Coloured personnel were being intentionally replaced with black people. It is worth pointing out that the term “Coloured ” in South Africa bears little relation to the old term in the USA. The ANC government insists on maintaining racial groupings in order to implement new Apartheid laws. At one particular museum, the author found a contributor to the museum who was collecting his family’s contribution to the museum back from the institution, because the family believed the purpose of the museum was now to destroy its own contents. The assault on white people in South africa is not just on their money, their jobs, their language, and their culture; their very history is in the process of being obliterated. The ANC has learnt well from its old Soviet mentor.

Until recently, it seemed that the Western news media was going out of its way to actively NOT report on the excesses in South Africa. Whether it is because they are truly that far Left, or whether now admitting that they were wrong for 50 years would be too disabling, is unclear. The fact is that they willfully starved their readers of the truth about South Africa. They simply lied about South Africa until 1994, and then they simply shut up about it since then. Either way, the ordinary citizen of the West has been wholly misled about South Africa, and it has been done with malice aforethought.

However, mostly because of the Internet and Social Media, it is now becoming very difficult to ignore the truth and these supposed reporters are being forced to confront reality. And so it is that in early 2015 the British Daily Mail published and article on a report by the Institute for Race Relations in which devastating statistics are revealed. The report states that more than one in every one hundred police officers has a criminal record. More specifically, the report states that,

it is often with good reason that the public fear the police, especially with regard to sexual violence and rape perpetrated by officers against vulnerable women.

The actual report may be downloaded here.

This is not the first so called “Broken Blue Line” report by the Institute. In their first report from 2011, they commented that,

…we were able to gather well over 100 case studies in less than a week – 75% of which took place over a period of just 14 months between January 2009 and April 2010. If we had continued our search we would doubtless have found several hundred, if not more than a thousand examples of police criminality. It should of course be very difficult, if not impossible, to find any incidents of police criminality. That we uncovered so many cases with such ease  suggested  that  the  project  had  uncovered  a  significant problem.

The organization listed armed robberies, armed home invasions, rape, cash-in-transit robberies, fraud, weapons dealing, and even bombing of ATMs.

It leaves one to seriously doubt the future of law enforcement in a country in which there is already no respect for human life. Against this background, one can understand that the white farming community, currently the subject of what only be described as “effective genocide”, sets zero store by the police. They are dying at a rate much higher than that of policemen; murdered and tortured to death.

Why Donald Trump can win

Tags

Democracy, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Obama, Soviet Union, United States

The first edition of this article was published HERE, just before Trump won the May 3, 2016 Indiana primary.  In this second edition of the article under a new title, we allow for that development and we map some new events against the background of the original edition.

Over the past 40 years the United States has come full circle from the malaise that beset Jimmy Carter to the present situation around Barack Obama, who appears to be trying to emulate South Africa. Frustrated Americans are reacting with their vote. While a concerned world watches, Donald Trump is confusing all the talking heads, turning polls upside down and terrifying Establishment politicians. However, if they would look at the world through different eyes, they would realize he has turned the election from a Left vs Right struggle into a struggle between Opportunity and Entitlement.

The international importance of US Internal Politics

I have been a keen student of the United States for some 40 years. The reasons are simple. Firstly, when the United States gets an economic “cold”, the world gets economic “pneumonia”. Secondly, less powerful countries “sail in the wake” of the United States. They may be completely capsized by even slight course changes on the part of the US.

In my own case, I have studied the US political chessboard to determine the consequences for the country of my birth, South Africa. US Foreign Policy effectively destroyed that country while it was not even a bump in the road to Americans. Logically, they do not have to care, until, of course, those consequences come flying through the air in the form of four fuel laden hijacked airliners in a clear blue September sky. But, the events of 9/11 may be traced back to profoundly flawed US Foreign Policy decisions by the Democratic Party dominated Congress in 1975. It may all may be read in the book AmaBhulu. Jerry Ford warned America at the time and Congress did not listen, and South Africa is now in the Sino-Russian-Iranian camp.

Forty years of US Foreign Policy

Over the forty years of my watch, I have seen the United States internationally emasculate itself in the wake of the Vietnam War. As a result, the Communist Revolution expanded tremendously. It led to me being 50 feet above trees on the Angola-Namibia border in an aircraft avoiding Soviet-made surface-to-air missiles. After all, short-sighted Congressional decisions have consequences.

I have seen grown American men cry in dismay at the state of their country in 1979 under Jimmy Carter. I have seen their pride and hope restored under Ronald Reagan. I have watched Ronald Reagan win the Cold War and bring down the Berlin Wall. I have watched George Bush senior correctly list a Communist dominated organization as a Terrorist Group, only to have those terrorists foisted as a government on decent South Africans on the watch of Bill Clinton. I have seen George Bush Junior go to war in Iraq as part of the Neo-Conservative agenda, and I have seen Barack Obama yet again emasculate the United States on the world stage.

The US has come full circle and is again in the lamentable state it was under Jimmy Carter around the time of the Iran Hostage Crisis and the failed Mission in the Desert to rescue the hostages (photo above). Those Americans who love and build their country feel that both their country and their pride have been trashed, along with their fortunes, their jobs and their children’s futures. They are more angry than I have ever seen them in my life. Only those who steal from the American Dream seem happy. Jimmy Carter has been consigned to the Twilight Zone of American public life since departing office. However, I have actually had Democrats tell me, “Obama is the best thing that ever happened to Carter“. At the same time, I have Republican friends who now detest their party for being utterly ineffectual and for “selling them out”.

The Political State of the Nation

Against this background, let us look at the United States political arena as the Republican and Democratic Party elders do: as the chessboard of Figure 1 below with just two blocks in a one-dimensional row next to each other. Ever since the departure of Ronald Reagan, the country has divided itself between camps on the “Left” and “Right”. In the United States, the term “Left” typically refers to people who are both Socially and Economically liberal, combining thereby Moral issues, Religious issues, Gender Rights, Green Issues and regular Economic Socialism.

Figure 1 collects some topical US political issues together on this map. This grouping of issues does not necessarily hold in other countries and it certainly polarizes almost every issue in the US. Few other places would list Libertarianism under “The Right”. So, for example, the “Right” is seen as automatically “Hawkish” and the “left” as “Dovish”, yet Democrats  (the nominal custodians of the “Left”) have taken the US into WWI, WWII, and the wars in Korea, Vietnam and Kosovo. Since the Civil War, vastly larger numbers of men have died fighting wars under Democratic presidents than under Republican Commanders-in-Chief. This Left-Right split has rendered political debate in the United States completely useless. Every individual or media group is forced into one of the two blocks and one side is obliged not to believe a word the other says and they belch bile at each other across the divide.

With the advent of President Obama the country was shoved violently and uncomfortably to the “Left”. The first high level reaction came in 2010 in the form of the Tea Party faction of the Republicans on the “Right”. This group is as rigid in their opposition to Tax & Spend  as Obama is in his insistence on expanding social benefits during the worst recession since the Great Depression.

Over the past seven years, President Obama has divided  Americans, but has united excited Kenyans (above). His non-consultative management style is well-known to people from Africa, such as this present author. It has rendered the US government dysfunctional.  It has obviated Congress and has thereby disenfanchised America. The ordinary man in the street perceives this as a “Useless Congress”. However, Obama has made it so. He now rules over his “kingdom” by decree via so-called Executive Actions, a fancy name for “Ignore the voting public” when the voters have actually given the Congress to the Republicans.

To this author, the United States of 2016 behaves more like an African “basket case” by the day. One would swear it is trying to turn itself into South Africa, a rapidly failing state Obama admires and which thinking people of all races are trying to escape. It ought not to surprise Americans, though. After all, a member of the Obama Administration is the ghost writer of Nelson Mandela’s “autobiography”. Perhaps Americans should study South Africa to understand the sheer disaster toward which they are at present headed. No wonder those hard-pressed Americans who care about their family, their country and its position in the world are insisting on dramatic change in Washington. And this brings us to the heart of the matter and the title of this piece.

Enter Donald Trump

The remaining US presidential candidates prove remarkably difficult to place on the one-dimensional map (See Figure 2). It produces a litany of inconsistencies around Trump and Sanders.

Democrats will have folks believe Trump is a “far right” testosteronic rabble rouser. Ted Cruz will have you believe that Trump is a “further left than” Hillary Clinton. The Republican Establishment will have you believe that he is so politically toxic that he is not even legitimately on the map. CNN talking heads will tell us “Sanders is to the Right of Clinton on Gun Control“. I suggest the Political Establishment and its Media are unable to see the very map they are functioning on. The confusion should be a clue to all of them that the one-dimensional map is inadequate to the job.

Trump is clearly confounding all the Party apparatchiks, commentators, and CNN talking heads. However, he is not confounding the client, the ordinary working American on the ground. Those much-tried folks are flocking to Trump’s flag in masses and droves. The last die-hard “Collective Bargaining” Unionists and Millennials with their sense of entitlement are flocking to Bernie Sanders. However, it is near impossible to depict these developments on the simple one-dimensional map.

The American Dream vs the American Myth

Donald Trump’s advent has made it clear that the US Political Arena is now a distinct two-dimensional map. The time has come to restore the natural vertical axis of the map of Figure 1 and to stop lumping together disparate views behind either “Left” or “Right”.  The vertical axis has Capitalism and Opportunity increasing upward and Socialism and Entitlement increasing downward, as in Figure 3, which is an adapted variant of the Nolan Chart. We show a simple mapping of the candidates, and describe it in more detail further below. Cruz and Kasich, having withdrawn from the race since the first edition of this article, are shown as faded in the diagram, but their locations on the map are important.

Trump’s presence has in effect redefined the election as a struggle between the top and bottom on this new map, instead of between the American Liberals and Conservatives. I would submit that those Americans positioned in the top half of the map are mostly people with a love of country who either have a job, or have lost a job and who may have a family and a house with a mortgage. Some 3.2 Million of those mortgages are still “under water”. This includes some of my own American Democrat friends. They are generally having a hard time making headway in the current economic climate. However, they accept that one works to get ahead in life and they do not expect handouts. They believe in the American Dream and have pride in America and its position in the world. They feel pained by America’s diminished international status and want it restored.

Where the “Left” miscalculates, is in assuming that women do not feel the plunge in American status worldwide. Married women in particular certainly see what is happening to their children and their country and do not like it one little bit. This position is also more ethnically blind than the talking heads are prepared to concede. This region of the map also includes Millennials who have discovered their latest iPhone does not have an App for “Give me a Job” and are trying do something about it, rather than protest as “backpacks with legs”.

The desire of people above the line is for Opportunity and restoration of the status of their country, independent of what they think of Gender Rights, Abortion, Religion, or Global Warming. They may well tell voters below the line “When last did a poor guy give you a job?” and many see Trump as the living embodiment of Success via Opportunity. They tend to be Patriotic in their views. In summary, they believe in the American Dream.

The folks below the horizontal line believe they will never have a proper stab at the American Dream. Some believe themselves inherently disadvantaged in some way or another, possibly on the basis of skin colour or ethnicity. Others among them are Millennials, who consider themselves hard done by. It certainly is true that loan institutions and Universities have got rich off their student loans. These young adults are burdened with staggering debt. One has to have sympathy. Many have dropped out of school and are stuck with the debt without a job. It is worth noting that Millennials have a calibration that consists of the Iraq War, the Mortgage Meltdown and the 2008 election of Obama. They learnt soon after that their immediate futures had been destroyed by Wall Street greed and they now blame rampant Capitalism, having never experienced normal working balanced Capitalism. They never knew the U.S.S.R and never saw the implosion of Communism. They “got their brains” after the Cold War.

The desire of people below the line is for Rights or Entitlement, whether it be citizenship, benefits, handouts, debt relief, or jobs “worthy of their expensive university degree“. They believe the American Dream is a Myth of History and prefer to fight or strike for what they can get from the “System”, which they believe rigged against them. Many Millennials in particular tend to be Internationalist, Global and “University Socialist” in their views.

Mapping the Candidates

As shown in Figure 4 below, Trump has placed himself squarely across the top two blocks of this map and has very openly stated his America First principles and his belief in Opportunity. He is also predicting that he can pull clients (voters) from below the horizontal line. When he gets questions of Liberal versus Conservative nature, he tends to fumble them. That is simply because it is not that important to him. He thinks along the vertical axis of the map, seeing people as either wanting opportunity and pride in their country or wanting handouts. I am not sure he could care less whether they are “Bible thumping” Conservatives or “Raving” Liberals. This is why one hears Ted Cruz  calling him “Liberal” and Clinton calling him “Far Right”. One can see his appeal across the top from the tens of thousands of Democratic Party Primary voters who have re-registered as Republicans. And that support is often coming from gritty “Union Democrat” neighbourhoods where jobs have disappeared, rendering unions impotent, if not completely irrelevant.

Clinton, as a Party Establishment creature, is pitching herself further to the Left than she really is, hoping to tack back to the middle in the Fall. Her problem is that she is not really associated with the word “Opportunity”. She certainly spends more time talking about entitlements than about economic actions. She has zero business or job-creation experience, and she is responsible for some of the worst Foreign Policy disasters in US history. She has played a key role in the diminished position of the US on the international stage. Trump is certain to make her life hell over the terrible events at Benghazi. Patriotic Americans are unlikely to forgive her for that fatal debacle and the manipulation of the truth thereafter.

Kasich sits in a limited zone on the horizontal line to the immediate right of the vertical, hoping the front-runners will somehow “crash and burn”. Cruz’s very Conservative agenda confines him to the far right of the top block. He has painted himself completely into a corner on the map. In these two statements we also find the reasons for their failure as candidates since the first edition of this article.

Bernie Sanders, rather than Hillary Clinton, is the clear counter to Donald Trump. While he has positions across the width of the map, he gets almost no traction with Black voters. Ironically, American Blacks mostly associate with the Establishment Clintons. By contrast, Sanders actually commands the “Trendy Lefty” segment, including Socialist oriented Millennials. Little can be more ironic than a 74-year old devout Cold War Socialist (1) from Vermont of all places and (2) leading a horde of iPhone wielding under-25s. He is the figurehead for “The 99%” and “Occupy Wall Street”.

So what?

The consequence of all this is that Trump has mapped himself onto a much larger portion of the present US Political Arena than most understand. This is why one sees the “Evangelicals” vote for him in masses and why thousands of Democrats above the horizontal line are re-registering as Republicans.

Some Black commentators refer to Trump’s base as “Angry White Men” and gleefully point out that there are not enough of them. So let us look at the numbers. According to the US Census Bureau there are 215 million voters in the US. 26 million of all races are aged between 18 and 24, these being Millennials. Of voters aged above 24 years, 136.5 million are whites, 22.5 million are Blacks, and 18 million are Hispanics.  The bureau reports that the 2012 presidential election saw only 65% of Whites register to vote and only 56.5% actually voted. I expect “Angry White Men” to be back with a vengeance and hell-bent on taking back their country. With no Black candidate remaining in the race, the turnout of that group will be significantly lower than the roughly 70% of the Obama years.

The grouping above the line is pointedly not exclusively White. It also includes Blacks, Hispanics and Asians who are actually TRYING to make the American Dream work, as opposed to rioting in the streets in an attempt to win an entitlement. All that stands between Trump and the most powerful office in the world, is his own mouth, and of course, any dirty play by the Establishment of the Republican Party. Should the Party Elders try that, I hereby promise them they will be responsible for the demise of the Republican Party.

The initial refusal of Paul Ryan, Republican Speaker of the House, to endorse Trump may also be understood on the above map. With the Socially Conservative Cruz out of the running, Ryan is trying to “hang tough” for Conservative principles and values in a race that has little to do with those. Americans basically want their country back, particularly red-blooded males. An Angry America, like Trump, is thinking along the vertical axis of the map. The horizontal axis of the map is not their primary concern at this time.

Clinton is yet to comprehend this. She is basically the socially liberal equivalent of the conservative Cruz, her natural opponent. I do not believe she is well positioned to win over Bernie Sanders supporters, especially if she does not comprehend the reality of this map. By rights and logic, it should be Sanders opposing Trump, but the Democrats are going to force Clinton on the voting public. That much is obvious, unless she is charged by the FBI. In that event, the Democrats will likely bring “Good ol’ Joe” Biden out of mothballs. With his “blue collar white” credentials he will try with some subtlety to reposition the Democrat effort for the White House to a more moderate  position above Sanders on the vertical axis.

All this tells me that, in the absence of Clinton being indicted, Donald Trump is going to win this election, unless his mouth gets in the way. The Democrats, for their part, had better pray Clinton gets indicted so Joe Biden can run.

I trust Americans will elect a president that will make the leading country of the Free World strong again. I have lost the country of my birth to the kind of forces that lurk in the Obama Administration. I have seen it thereby turned into a hell hole and dangerous laughing stock. I cannot stomach the destruction of Western Civilization one inch further.

My advice to Hillary Clinton? Dissociate yourself from Barack Obama as fast and as far as you can. Ordinary adult American men are mad as hell at what Barack Obama has done with their country, there are awfully many of them, and they talk to their wives.

Liberal Columnist eats own words on Trump

Donald Trump, Media

Last Tuesday, Ted Cruz folded his presidential campaign, followed within hours by John Kasich. Thereby Donald Trump became the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party. And this led to an interesting visit to a restaurant by a Left leaning Washington Post columnist. But, let us start at the beginning; at least, the beginning as I experienced it….

I grew up in South Africa to a mother who was a distribution manager for Time, Life and Newsweek in part of the country. She would always bring home the week-old issues returned unsold from individual shops. The Internet had not been invented in the 1960s, and TV was non-existent in South Africa. Radio and the printed word were basically the only sources of news in the family. My information diet was this collection of unsold publications and short wave radio. On the latter I listened with equal attention to the BBC, Voice of America, Deutsche Welle (via its Kigali relay station in Rwanda), Radio Peking, Radio Moscow, and subchannel, Radio Peace and Progress with its strident military signature tune.

Radio Peking was particularly frightening with its dehumanized “Quotes from Chairman Mao”. Through all this wafted the beautiful sound of the bokmakierie bird, representing Radio RSA from South Africa. Each one spread the truth the way they saw it, or wanted it, as the case may be. Yes, I even listened to the African National Congress transmitting out of Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania. At thirteen years of age I was making up my own mind, as is becoming of a scientist-to-be.

I would read what these people in Time (above) and Newsweek had to say about my country, but I hardly ever recognized South Africa from what was written there. What was clear to me back then, was that they considered me and mine inherently evil and an irritation to them. I was in my early teens and I was already doomed to extermination by these people. This is how I learned to hate and detest the formal media and accept them as my God-given enemy, utterly incapable of understanding our predicament as white people in Africa, and hell bent on our destruction. Sometimes I wondered if they actually knew where South Africa was. Much of this may be read in AmaBhulu.

Later, in my twenties in the United States, I got to do with the iconic liberal New York Times and  Washington Post. I learned their cultural calibration. It was evident that they would never leave a stone unturned to turn the whites of South Africa into the galactic whipping boys for their own grandfathers’ sins. If it was not yet clear to me that liberal people sought my demise, it was basically spat in my face by a visiting Communist Danish Professor in 1980. It all happened in my office at IBM Research in Yorktown Heights (below), setting of the much publicized Jeopardy round between the computer Watson and human opponents, many years later. In 1980, we were both there on sabbatical research stays and we agreed on nothing. He had some years previous made a point of marching into the church and renouncing his religion, like a good textbook Communist.

In response to a question on my part as to what he would have us do as white people in Africa with no right of return to anywhere else on the planet Earth, the learned professor rose out of his chair to his 6-foot-6 Viking height and spat in my face the words,

You are a sick anachronism and a blot on the name of Europe. You should just die.

Then he stormed out of the office so as to absent himself from the reality that I represented. He had no idea what I should do about the realities I faced, but he was clear that he wanted me dead. That deprived me of the ability to ask him how it was that Denmark managed to maintain Greenland as a colony in 1980 with only 12% of the population being of European Danish descent. I wanted to know whether that 12% was also supposed to “just die“, being an “anachronism” and a “blot on Denmark“. Oh! Wait! They could return to Denmark! So it would have been an “unfair” question. Hmmmmm…. they’re still there.

As the reader will understand, this kind of thing stays with one, especially when one’s people are being killed like flies, as is now the case in South Africa. That particular moment in my life has come to define for me the true essence of the devout liberal. It explains why I do not hate black people in Africa; they simply are who and what God made them. They are certainly able to callously act in their own interests and harm white people, as is now the case. However, the Northern Hemisphere Liberal has a galaxy of sensible choices available to him, but chooses this perverse, malicious and destructive philosophy. This underscores my belief that the Black Man in Africa is not the enemy of my family in South Africa. That distinction goes to the White Northern Hemisphere liberal who behaves as an enemy to all HE deems as his own kind. It is amazing what a guilty conscience will do to otherwise intelligent human beings, entirely capable of rational thought.

Against this background, my glee knew no end when I heard that liberal Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank sat down at a restaurant table last week and literally ate his own words. He had predicted on 4 October 2015 that there was no way that Donald Trump would become the Republican Party nominee. In the fateful October 2015 article he had undertaken to eat his own words if Trump were to be nominated.

[CLICK on the image to play the amusing video from the Washington Post.]

Last Tuesday, Ted Cruz folded his presidential campaign, followed within hours by John Kasich. Thereby Donald Trump became the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party. And so it came to pass that Milbank faced literally eating his own words.

Now, if only I could get all these liberal media people to eat their words about South Africa. However, when the truth surfaces, as it is doing at present, they just remain silent. It is ever so much easier for one to shut up when one is proven wrong by simple unavoidable reality. Perhaps, as per the proverb, they are not “good men”, and therefore evil DOES indeed triumph. The realities of South Africa after 22 years of Black Majority Rule by the Communist ANC—the fundamental desire of Northern Hemisphere liberal reporters—are now brazenly obvious for all to see.

Yet, silence reigns and no reporter is lining up for a dinner of his past decades of articles on South Africa. I am forced to believe that their real purpose was to see us exterminated off their collective conscience, and they could not care less what actually happens to South Africa in the process. This is pretty much the same guilty conscience about persecuting Jews that makes Continental Europe so anti-Israel. “If only the pesky Jews would evaporate and get off the European conscience, eh?”-[end Canadian sarcasm]

Welcome to Africa- Democracy and The Tribe

African National Congress (ANC), Democracy, South Africa

The book AmaBhulu makes it abundantly clear that Democracy is an inappropriate mechanism where there is not a suitable base of civilization to underpin it. Fundamentally, it is beyond infantile to assume that someone who attaches no value to another person’s life and property would have any respect for that other person’s opinion. Without that basic concept, Democracy is nothing but farce. Events in the Middle East, and Syria in particular, have now proved this beyond any shadow of a doubt.

In South Africa we see “bestowed” Democracy at work, and it is not a pretty picture. The country is coming apart on the watch of a Communist inspired and Soviet trained National Socialist and brazenly racist organization called the African National Congress. In the cities, one finds all the trappings of Western Civilization and everyone plays along to pretend that one is in a civilized country where there is respect for the individual and for the institutions of civilization. But, it is in the rural areas where the truth is rather more difficult to paper over and fewer people see merit in pretending.

In another post under the title Heart of Darkness we described the slide of South Africa under the ANC and Jacob Zuma toward a scenario of the same title which is basically that of the classic “African Basket Case” (see diagram below). And so, it should not be too surprising when the realties of Africa start showing through.

The ANC would have the innocent international observer believe that it can flip a switch in the universe in 1994 and thereby do away with Tribalism when the party itself institutes brazenly racist anti-white legislation. Yet, the ethnic Genocide in Rwanda happened outside the view of the world’s reporters at exactly that time, because they were all in South Africa, hoping to catch pictures of white people being murdered in anticipated “reprisals for apartheid”. Richard Dowden makes that point in his book “Africa”. It actually says more about news reporters than about Africa.

This brings us to the matter at hand, which is the unrest at Vuwani in Far Northeastern South Africa, shown below. Some time ago, the ANC government started tinkering with the district boundaries in the area. It would seem the AmaShangaan tribe was unhappy with the boundary between them and the vha’Venda people, and hence the adjustment. However, in the process they have now included the vha’Venda town of Vuwani, which was always in the Louis Trichardt district (now named Makhado), in the AmaShangaan dominated district of  Malamulele. The map  provided here (click to enlarge) also shows the historic capitals of the two nations, Thohoyandou for the vha’Venda and Giyani for the AmaShangaan.

While the Shangaan people have adopted the Tsonga language and culture, they do not always take kindly to that name. They originally came as the Ndwandwe under Shoshangane from far northern Zululand, under threat from the amaZulu under their  leader Shaka. They first created a Kingdom in Mozambique, before moving to South Africa around 1862, after white people had settled that part of the country and centuries after the vha’Vhenda.

The actual original Tsonga people object to being called “Shangaan” and the vha’Vhenda, in their turn, have never really been happy with the presence of the amaShangaan. I have evidence to that effect from 1917 in the documented testimony of vha’Vhenda leaders. The same documentation shows that at least one of their chiefs still considered himself “Zulu” in 1917.

The “white” towns in the region are Louis Trichardt, Messina (now Musina), and Alldays in the west. Further south is the major town of Pietersburg, also now renamed to a “Black” name, Polokwane.

The amaShangaan belong to the same family of nations as the amaXhosa, amaThembu, amaPondo, amaBhaca, and amaZulu, collectively known as the Nguni nations. In the interior of Eastern South Africa the various Sotho peoples, such as the ba’Sotho, ba’Tswana, ba’Pedi , ba’Tlokwa, and the ba’Rolong hold sway. One interesting interior nation is the small offshoot of the Sotho peoples known as the Lobedu. The queen of this group is the famous “Rain Queen” of H Rider Haggard fame. She is also known as “The Modjadji“,  H. Rider Haggard referred to her as “She who must be obeyed“. Her home is indicated on the map above.

The vha’Venda are a completely distinct group of Black people in far northern South Africa and their family names are also very distinct. They have more in common with the Ma’Shona people of Eastern Zimbabwe—Robert Mugabe’s people. The vice President of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa, is a Venda. Historically they live at the foot of the Soutpansberg mountain range, inside of which one finds their sacred Lake Funduzi and the sacred forest south of it. They have a long history as ironmongers and ironsmiths. The young Black metallurgical engineers I have dealt with were all Vendas. As far as this author is concerned, they are in a league of their own as a Black people in South Africa.

In the past week, the Venda people of Vuwani have made it quite clear that they will not submit to Shangaan people. Says 28 year old Steven Mulaudzi, and assistant driver in the banana industry,

We cannot be ruled by the Shangaans.

To make their displeasure known, they then burned down their own schools. This pyromania is a uniquely African way of expressing unhappiness, and was promoted by the ANC in the 1980s in order to make the country as a whole ungovernable. It is interesting to watch them suffering under their own teachings. It could not happen to “nicer folks”. More can be read in the Reuters article on the subject. There are also Youtube videos available to make the point quite clear.

What is more profoundly illuminating, is that it shows that the old white government was right to separate the various Black nations into their own territories, which the rest of the world referred to dismissively as Bantustans. The following map shows the old homeland territorial division in the same region.

Yes, the separation line between Venda and Shangaan Homelands on this old 1970s map runs exactly at Vuwani. It seems the vha’Venda prefer what the white man did under apartheid.

Also, now that the reader can see what the division of the land actually was “under apartheid” in this generally arable area among (1) the Kruger National Park, (2) the white folks, (3) the vha’Venda, (4) the amaShangaan, and (5) the ba’Pedi it somehow does not seem quite as skewed as the Western Media would have you believe. The media prefers to include the deserts of South Africa and areas where there were never any black people anyway. This inflates the numbers and  invokes outrage on the part of people too far away to confirm anything for themselves.

Note that the homeland sections shown here are generally higher country with higher rainfall. When one is in the Kruger Park, one always sees the beautiful towering cumulonimbus clouds hanging over the black homelands to the west. The Northern Kruger Park, shown in the map, is generally dry tropical scrubland turning to trees near the few rivers and towards the higher west, where the rainfall improves a little.

The Modjadji lives in particularly beautiful mountainous countryside with deep forest and cycads (below). Most of the Venda and Shangaan territory is quite arable. To the West of Louis Trichardt it rapidly gets drier. Almost all of the area in question is formally in the Tropics, north of the Tropic of Capricorn, so that frost is a pretty foreign thing and snow is a crazy thought.

As my fellow Canadians would say, “Interesting, eh? Makes ye think!”

I wonder what the Western Media would make of white people protesting by burning their schools down, demanding a homeland in beautiful well-watered country, and then complaining about black people not giving them jobs? What if they were to complain about being ruled by black people, just as the vha’Venda complain about being ruled by the amaShangaan.

We all know the answer. They’d be called “racist” and “uncivilized”. It is just that the Anglophone world cannot conceive of having to live under the rule of another civilization, having never lost a war on own soil since 1066. They are a little uncalibrated, so to speak.

How Donald Trump knows about South Africa

Tags

Donald Trump, South Africa

Over the recent past, Donald Trump, the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party in the United States presidential race, has commented on more than one occasion about South Africa. While South Africans can scream until they are blue in the face, he was dead-on right in each of his comments. See for example HERE and HERE. Any honest human being who knows that country knows he spoke the truth.

I thought I would explore why that is the case, because Americans are typically outrageously ignorant about South Africa. That is how one very nice New York gentleman once told me, “Oh I know South Africa! I was in the Mediterranean in the war!“, and a Masters degree lady told me “Perhaps you know my friend in Liberia“. Another held me, as South African-born, accountable for the excesses of Idi Amin in Uganda. A young Canadian asked me a month ago whether “Africa has countries“.

It is therefore quite incredible that the US Congress should have overridden the veto of President Ronald Reagan in order to impose comprehensive sanctions on South Africa in the 1980s; this while the majority of members of Congress could not find it on a map. So, how is it that Donald Trump should be so spot on in his observations? This intrigued me, until I watched a 2 hour television programme about the rise of Donald Trump some weeks ago. At some quite unimportant point in the movie Trump is in a limo on the way somewhere, and that’s when a blurred image of another passenger in the same limo caught my attention. I was quite sure I had seen THAT man before in the flesh.

It was in the early 1990s on the tropical volcanic Comore Islands in the Indian Ocean, of all places. A new resort had recently been opened on the main island and week-long packaged stays were being sold in South Africa. The man behind the resort was South African real estate magnate Sol Kerzner, the man responsible for Sun City and, now more recently, Paradise Island, which is advertised daily on US TV. My wife and I had bought one of these one week stays on the main island.

Few people knew the Comore Islands at the time, but some would become aware of them some years later when an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 767 would execute a failed water landing in front of the resort after being hijacked. The person who would videograph the event would evidently be next to a white Afrikaans speaking South African lady who would exclaim at the event unfolding before her eyes. Her voice would later be edited out of news reels.

While strolling around the grounds back then in the early 90s, I found Sol Kerzner busy kicking around the grass in front of one of the “cabanas” as though he was unhappy with the lawn quality. I had no particular reason to start a conversation with him and so we proceeded on our way, leaving him to kick at his lawn. However, I mentally filed away the image.

It turns out that, in the intervening years the world’s two major real estate developers, Donald Trump and Sol Kerzner, have been working together quite a bit in the Bahamas and Dubai. No doubt, Donald has been hearing the reality about South Africa from his friend Sol. As regards to what the degree they “hang out together”, the following images may perhaps clarify the situation.

In the image immediately below we have, from left to right, Melania Trump, Donald Trump, Heather Kerzner and Sol Kerzner together.

In yet another photo below, we have Donald Trump and Heather Kerzner together at another event.

Against this backdrop, black actor Samuel L. Jackson is extremely welcome to move to South Africa if Trump becomes president of the USA, which is exactly what he has “threatened”. Perhaps he could play Jacob Zuma in his next movie.

I would suggest the world would be a better place if Kerzner and Trump maintain their relationship. I well remember the young Comorean who hired out for a day to drive us around his island in his Mini Moke. His hero was Sol Kerzner and he waxed lyrically about Kerzner as being an example of what people can do if they set their minds to it.

Perhaps Americans can take an electioneering lesson from the young Comorean. He correctly identified opportunity and hard work, rather than handouts, as a key issue in life. That sounds remarkably like Trump.
