—In 2017, I published “America must Fall”, a blogpost showing how race & statue-related events in the USA at the time were born from the “Rhodes must Fall” effort in South Africa. On 5 July 2020, in the midst of major upheaval in the United States, I was asked to relate the background to that post as a guest on Erin Ryan and Bill Cundiff’s program on WeThePeopleRadio. The full recording of the program may be heard HERE. The images referred to may be seen HERE, and are best kept ready by the listener as the show proceeds. In the interview, I drew the line through to July of this year, but also added more detail about, for example UC Berkeley and their heroes, and about some of the Rhodes Must Fall leaders.
Much of the historic background may be read in AmaBhulu.
We had some trouble getting Skype to cooperate, and had to use a rather bad telephone line. Later in the show we got it running correctly, but with a less than perfect microphone.

it is true, at the local level must be started. The Swiss model is successful because people participate at the lowest. Democracies carry the seeds of their own destruction susceptible to demagogues and orators as well as indifference. of Citizens. The Westminister winner takes all system is glued in our brains, we must shake it off
Well, Harry….Let’s hope YOU don’t get taken down for telling YOUR truth!! 😉
We must carry on regardless. Harry is the only one that can shake up those imbeciles in USA and SA trying to eliminate the brave minority communities, which if they go down by the ruining kleptocracy/ineptocracy shall prove detrimental for the future of SA Blacks for whom the reforms package was ostensibly initiated in 1994.
There is a crisis looming worldwide with democracies and winner takes all Westminister system. The main reason, plus other of course in my view, is that executive powers are concentrated at the hands of the Prime Minister or President (central level), and Parliament and not downscaling such powers to the lower echelons, thus encouraging voters to participate in their relevant affairs plus corruption, which is an epidemic of huge proportions greater than COVID19. In addition, voters after they exercise their voting rights withdraw to their own homes, families, etc, and the working environment, thus limiting their involvement in listening to the news by the main media services, many biased with toxic subtle innuendos.
As Catherine Austin Fitts promotes, people can take back the country one county at a time….it is at the Local Level we need to get involved.
