Ricky Grenell and the Satchel of Doom

Donald Trump, Media, Obama, Russia, South Africa

—This is a picture known to anyone who grew up in the ’60’s within Western Civilisation. It shows the four Beatles crossing the road in front of the Abbey Road recording studios in a “four man walk”. The image was used as the cover picture for the album “Abbey Road”, released September of 1969. It foreshadowed momentous things. In that particular case it presaged the demise of the group.

Now consider the “four man walk” image below and please indulge my Harry Potter-style title of this post…. I simply could not help it [Click on the image for the video]. Those men are walking with intent.

It was taken as a video on 7 May 2020 at a pedestrian crossing in front of the John F. Kennedy building of the US Justice Department in Washington, DC. I know the spot, because I was there last year.

This “four man walk” also presages a dramatic event. It shows Acting Director of National Intelligence for the Trump Administration, Richard Grenell (“Ricky” in the light blue shirt), personally taking a satchel (in his right hand, partly obscured) to Professor Dumbledore.

( )…What’s that? Oh..err… …oops….sorry…. correction… “to Attorney General Bill Barr” (below). My bad. Apologies to all!

Now, back to Ricky Grenell and the Satchel of Doom:

That satchel in Grenell’s right hand will go down in history as The Satchel of Doom for the Conspirators to the Coup to topple the duly elected President of the United States of America. When this whole story is finally revealed, decent Americans will ask whether they are living in South Africa or in the United States. In fact, the picture that is emerging is more like the Central African Republic.

Unmasking a three-star General

Within a handful of days of the satchel delivery, the names were released of the parties who had demanded in 2016, during election season, to know the name of the American on a “wire-tapped” phone call to Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. One of them, or someone associated with one of them, released the name of the person to the Washington Post. That is a punishable crime that may land someone in jail for up to ten years.

The Mainstream Media will have the world believe that it should panic about the coronavirus, which is no longer news by any stretch of the imagination. They would have you believe the Satchel of Doom is a distraction. They will have you believe that there never was an effort to take down the US President. They will have you believe that there is nothing interesting about various Obama Administration individuals being listed among the many individuals demanding the unmasking of the relevant American’s name, including Joe Biden, the current Democratic Party presidential candidate.

That American on the phone call was none other than General Michael Flynn (below), then President Elect Trump’s National Security Advisor-to-be. He had previously been fired by Obama from his job as Defense Intelligence Agency director, and he knew “where all the ‘Obama bodies’ were buried”. He was the single most dangerous man to the conspirators and they had to find a way to “take him out”. So they put the spying system of the State onto him, failed to find anything incriminating, and then proceeded to hound him into a corner by abusing the powers of the FBI before Trump could properly assume office.

The thing to realise here, is that  US presidents nominate secretaries for all regular offices in the Cabinet, and those then have to be ratified by the Senate. The National Security Adviser, however, is a president-only appointee. The president does NOT have to have that person confirmed by the Senate. So, General Flynn was good to go, he could hit the ground running,…. and the conspirators had to stop that. The point is that, the day Flynn would get into office, he would be able to see what these creatures had done because he would have access to all information of an intelligence nature…. and all the records.

They never thought Trump would win the election, so their sins were on record, because they likely thought Hillary Clinton would appreciate them for their “helpful” skullduggery. But all hell had broken loose when Trump had “unexpectedly” won, and they had to cover their tracks and keep him off-balance. There were two elements to the plan: (1) take down Flynn, who is a registered Democrat; and (2) infiltrate President Elect Trump’s offices to “get dirt” on the president. If that turned out to be not enough, they had the “Steele Dossier” of wholly contrived XXX-rated filth to fall back on, courtesy of Hillary Clinton, John McCain, and Slytherin…..err, sorry, the Democratic Party, which has been anything but democratic of late.

Fortunately for the United States and the rest of Civilisation, Hillary lost the election and the “Steele Dossier” has been wholly discredited. And, very importantly, one man with actual integrity went to warn President Elect Trump that he was being “wire-tapped”. That man was Admiral Rogers, head of the NSA, who found out that unauthorised people were digging around in his data system. The very next day Trump moved his team out of the Trump Tower and told the media he “was being wire-tapped”. The Media called him “crazy”. It turns out, he was actually correct.

Of course, Republican Senator John McCain is no longer with us. In life, he had been only too happy to convey the “dirty dossier”. Of course, he had earlier lost the nomination for Republican candidate for the Presidency against Trump.

The boss of the FBI at the time, James Comey, had been only too happy to go to Trump’s office to rub Trump’s face in the XXX-dossier, but mysteriously did not inform him that they “were concerned about” his pick for National Security Adviser to the extent that they were targeting him for removal. Somehow Comey DID think it was important to advise Democratic Party Senator Feinstein that SHE had an infiltrator in her office.

So, the FBI clearly worked FOR the Democratic Party and AGAINST the Republican Party. More particularly, it worked against the President Elect. This was the kind of corrupt behaviour that we are used to hearing about in African Banana Republics, not the leading country of the Free World. How utterly disgraceful. Why is anyone surprised that Trump fired Comey? The problem is, it would appear Rosenstein, who took over from Comey, was part of the scheme. It was he who launched a special investigation into Trump’s election win, exactly in line with the needs of the rogue FBI cabal. Surprise, surprise!

There was nothing wrong to start with

There was nothing wrong with what General Flynn was doing. It was his job as incoming National Security Adviser to make contact with senior diplomats of other countries. He did nothing wrong in the process. In the end, the conspirators are on record under oath, confirming that “there was nothing there”. Nonetheless, they carried on hounding him until they backed him into a corner where he had to confess to something so they would stop threatening his family. And then they testified differently under oath to what they were telling the Media. Where I come from, that is called “lying to the public”. They also lied to Congress. Had they been put under oath in public, this stuff would not have been possible. These people are now proven liars, and they lied with some considerable dedication and focus.

How odd is it that there was not a single whistleblower from the FBI that warned the President, either before or after he took office. One appreciates that a fish rots from the head down, but just how deep down from the top has the FBI been rotted that not a single person stood up and cried foul? In the end, it was the NSA that warned Trump, fer cryin’ out loud! Covered by the Media who desperately wanted to believe the lies, the crooked heap in the FBI coerced General Flynn into pleading guilty to “Lying to a federal agent”. This while Comey himself was considering “wearing a wire” into the White House for a meeting with Trump.

Fast forward to the present. On the same day as that satchel delivery (7 May 2020), the Department of Justice (DOJ) said it would move to drop all charges against General Flynn. The DOJ fully realised the alarming extent to which the FBI had transgressed in forcing such a plea out of Flynn, a three-star general who had loyally served his country for three decades.

There’s a big thing coming, but “nothing to see”

The plans of the conspirators are being revealed, one move at a time, by Attorney-General Bill Barr, and we are all waiting to see what his bloodhound, Special Investigator John Durham (left), will charge the conniving parties with. The Conservative and Constitution-protecting people of the US are angry as all hell at what has been done to President Trump and the people around him, and they want blood. If I did not know them better, I would tell you they want the heads of some people posted on pikes up and down Pennsylvania Avenue.

There is a classic Afrikaans saying that has been turned into an acronym that only South Africans know : HKGK. I’m sure other interested parties can get it decoded if they really want to. I’ll leave that as a fun challenge. That acronym now applies here.

Of course CNN is telling you, “Move along now! Nothing to see here! Nothing to see here! Worry about the virus and don’t ask questions! Be afraid! Be afraid! Be good little mental midgets now and move along!” I personally believe this is because they were a key part of the conspiracy from day one, but cannot yet prove it.

Why do I care?

The United States is the only country with the power to do anything about the mess in South Africa, and President Trump (below) is the only US president in my lifetime with the basic guts to do what it takes. South Africa as an entity is now past the point of recovery in its present form. We need President Trump in his job for another four years in order to apply the required pressure on the ANC government in South Africa. The place is a candidate for “Regime Change”.

I first wrote about this whole saga very early in 2018. I have been waiting for some years now for the guilty to pay. But until Pres. Trump appointed Bill Barr, there was no hope that the FBI would be investigated. Just watch how desperate the Democrats are to get Barr removed from his post. That should tell you something right there. I sincerely hope the fact that the details are being revealed so bitterly slowly, is because they are being timed for greatest negative effect on Slytherin at election time in November. They would deserve that after fooling with the Steele XXX-Dossier and—so it would appear—digging illegally into data at the NSA.

As to the other aspects of what Durham is looking at, please read my other two posts on this general subject:

1. Is the US now South Africa?

2. Born in a Crossfire Hurricane

Meanwhile, I’d like to know whether anything is going to happen to Draco Malfoy….. sorry, Adam Schiff. He has been playing a disgraceful game in the House of Representatives by alternately lying to the House and wilfully withholding evidence.

But this story also has heroes, like Hedwig.. err.. Admiral Rogers, head of the NSA under Obama, who “flew” to Trump to warn him he was being spied on. And then there are Ron and Hermione…. I mean, Joe Di Genova and his wife Victoria Toensing, who dug open so much of this stuff to back up the president. And, yes, there are several more good people who have fought the good fight, such as John Solomon and Sara Carter and Devin Nunes, all of whom played key roles and took serious abuse in this process. And do not forget General Flynn’s excellent new attorney, Sidney Powell, who forced the release of some key information.

But the monsters are many, and Voldemort’s agents—you know who I mean—are now dangerous because they are cornered. They have already once shown that they will stop at nothing. In considering them, Mark Twain comes to mind. He once wrote about Cecil John Rhodes, another evil schemer who destroyed the lives of tens of thousands:

…and when his time comes, I shall buy a piece of the rope for a keepsake.

Commander-in-Chief: Trump vs. Obama

Tags

Donald Trump, Obama, Syria, Terrorism

— Stones & Dust: All that is left of the hideout of al-Baghdadi near Barisha. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the depraved  leader of ISIS, was killed in an American military operation on 26-27 October 2019 outside Barisha, close to the Turkish border, and a considerable distance from any area previously occupied by ISIS. He was chased to his death by the Belgian Malinois, Conan. It is fitting that the last thing this murderous extremist saw or heard was a dog coming for him, considering that contact with dogs is proscribed as “impure” in his Faith.

Having previously written an article in which I presented the Situation Room picture of (former) President Obama and his people during the Raid on Bin Laden on 2 May 2011, I felt it would only be appropriate to do the same for the above raid. However, upon putting the two pictures next to each other, the profound differences struck me immediately. It seemed to me they were worth sharing.

The Raid on Bin Laden : Operation Neptune Spear

First, we consider the Raid on Bin Laden outside Abbottabad in Pakistan, the town founded by and named for James Abbott. He was a British army Officer and later Colonial Administrator in what was then British “India”. (Please do read up about him; a very interesting eccentric). The image below shows the Situation Room on the night of the raid.

The Raid on al-Baghdadi: Operation Kayla Mueller

This raid was named for the young American woman volunteer who was murdered by  al-Baghdadi’s ISIS after being abducted while helping Doctors without Borders. That already tells one something. For example, I have no idea what Neptune’s spear has to do with Bin Laden. I know exactly what Kayla Mueller has to do with al-Baghdadi.

Comparing the pictures

A. The Bin Laden Raid

In the 2011 picture, there are at least seventeen people huddled in this room, one being the photographer, and three with just portions of clothes or tops of heads showing. We can list the identifiable people follows: On the far left is Joe Biden, then Vice-President of the United States, and the man who advised that the mission should NOT be undertaken because it could end like Jimmy Carter’s abortive mission in the desert of Iran on 24 April 1980. I lived in New York at the time and I well remember my best friend in life, an American, in tears. Israel, South Africa and Germany had all successfully undertaken similarly logistically complex raids in the recent past, and the most powerful nation on Earth had failed, forced to leave its dead in the desert next to the burnt out hulks of its aircraft.

The man in the sweater, hunkered down in a low chair in the left corner was then leader of the most powerful nation in the world; the man who had approved the mission to go ahead after much agonizing, President Barack Obama. He was no doubt, in line with his stated doctrine, “Leading from Behind”.

The man apparently in command in the room is in the chair at the head of the table, Brigadier General Marshall B. “Brad” Webb, USAF, Assistant Commanding General, Joint Special Operations Command. As befits a man with his responsibilities, he is focused on his workstation and is NOT—repeat NOT—checking his Facebook account. To his left and the viewer’s right sits Denis McDonough, Deputy National Security Advisor. So, the deputy is at the table, and not the actual National Security Advisor to the President, who is Tom Donilon, in blue shirt, standing behind the aforesaid Brig. General Webb.

Next to McDonough sits Hillary Clinton, then Secretary of State, clearly so stressed out that she is pulling a fold into the skin of her face. And she’s the one who had commercials about the nation wanting HER to take the much dreaded call on the red Doomsday Phone? The White House had to pixelize the Classified picture in front of her. Somehow she just always seems to have security issues.

Nearest the camera is Secretary of Defense, Robert Gates, a man who has always commanded respect from all sides of the US political spectrum. Standing to the right of Donilon is Admiral Mike Mullen, USN, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the most senior professional military man in the room. Standing on Donilon’s left is Bill Daley, White House Chief of Staff. Behind Daley is Tony Blinken, National Security Advisor to the Vice President, trying to look over Daley’s shoulder. The lady at the back, stretching to see past Blinken’s elbow, set off a veritable firestorm of investigations back in 2011, because she was unidentified at the time. It eventually turned out that she is Audrey Tomason, Director for Counter-Terrorism. Unlike most people in that room, and specifically the two men in front of her or Hillary, she actually had at least a nominal reason to be there.

The last two men on the far right in the 2011 picture are John Brennan, Obama’s appointed Homeland Security Advisor (later Obama’s CIA Chief) and James Clapper, Director of National Intelligence. Unlike with Brennan, his role requires approval by the Senate. Both these men are today regarded with extreme suspicion as being part of the “Deep State” cabal that formulated the plot to remove President Trump from Office in what is in effect an attempted coup by the unelected security structure of the Country.

To my mind, the only people who should have been in that room were Obama, Biden, the general, the admiral, Secretary Gates, Donilon, and perhaps Audrey Tomason, though my jury is out on that last addition.

A. The al-Baghdadi Raid

The picture contains evidence of nine people, eight fewer than the Obama picture. Besides the photographer, there appear to be two more arrangements of writing materials, as though individuals are sitting at those positions at the table, but out of view. As for the individuals visible, none are standing, none are stretching to see past someone’s elbow or over anyone’s shoulder. There seems to be no superfluous humans present among them. They are, from left to right, National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien; Vice President Mike Pence; President Trump, clearly in command at the head of the table; Defense Secretary Mark Esper; Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley; and Brig. Gen. Marcus Evans, Deputy Director for Special Operations on the Joint Staff, the man commanding the mission.

Now look in the faces of these men, and compare what you see with the faces of the people in the 2011 raid. I have one simple observation: I see six men with grim determination written in their faces in 2019. If you were a determined enemy of the United States, which of the two pictures would make you think twice before crossing swords with the USA?

Sometimes international politics, like real life, is as simple as this question, and I do not think Obama ever understood any of this. Certainly, Hillary did not. Both of them were visibly less stressed about the loss of the brave men at Benghazi. Oh… and by the way… she did NOT “pick up the red phone” when the men in that embassy desperately called for help. But she had the mental wherewithal to lie about it afterwards and ascribed the Benghazi attack to a silly video.

Is it not amazing what a picture can tell one?

The South African Impact on the US

Donald Trump, Nelson Mandela, Obama, South Africa, United States

The Effect of South Africa on the United States

— Americans are constantly amazed when I clarify for them the impact that South Africa has had on their country and the role it is playing in the demise of the institutions and views that made America great in the first place. Examples include the obsession of Former President Obama with South Africa. He made that quite clear on record. His admiration for the Communist leader of the ANC, Nelson Mandela, is well-known. Obama even appointed Mandela’s ghost writer to his administration. More recently, the removal of statues was imported from South Africa. The US Democratic Party now sounds very much like South Africa’s ANC, which is 100% focused on stealing from citizens with white skins all that they possibly can. Its equivalent in the United States at this point is the combination of Black Lives Matter, ANTIFA, the Far Left of the Democratic Party and the overall drive to denigrate the white male and bar him from anything they possibly can. I keep telling Americans that, if they wanted to see their future, all they need to do is pay about $1500 for a flight to South Africa. A more affordable alternative may be to just follow this Blog.

But How Deep is the penetration?

If one had to summarise President Trump’s single most important action in the first two years of his presidency, it would be around the Supreme Court (above). His key long-term achievement is not the drastically improved economy; it is in fact the appointment of Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh. He may even get further shots at appointing more Supreme Court Justices. This is likely the greatest fear of the grey-beards in the Democratic Party, because it would affect important challenges to the Constitution for decades to come and could swing some other very important cases. Who knows, it might even affect the fate of Roe v. Wade, which would drive Democrats into a frenzy. It could effectively negate the stranglehold the Democratic Party has on the exceedingly liberal Ninth Circuit Court that keeps stopping President Trump at every possible turn.

It therefore behooves us to ask what the ranking Liberal Supreme Court Justice thinks. She mans the “Liberal wall” against president Trump in the Supreme Court. And, it is not as though we have to speculate. The lady in question, Ruth Bader Ginsburg (below), has made her views entirely clear on two counts:

• Before his election, she made clear her resentment of the man who is now her duly elected president. So, we know exactly how she’d vote on any case brought before the Supreme Court by the present White House.

• But we also know a second thing: She prefers the South African Constitution over the American one, which she regards as “old”. See more below.

What was that again about the influence of South Africa in the United States?– no influence, eh? Yeah right!

Folks have already seen how sickeningly the South African government’s disregard for proper process in Law has found its way into the Democratic Party’s effort at undoing president Trump. If it is unclear, then wake up and read THIS article.

With the “New South Africa” influence embedded even in the US Supreme Court it is time for Americans to SIT UP AND LISTEN. It should also make it entirely clear to Americans why they need a president capable of saving America from the insanity that has become embedded into their national woodwork.

Ginsburg on the South African Constitution

While on a visit to Egypt, Ginsburg— never shy with her prejudices—offered the following jewel of wisdom to the Egyptians seeking to formulate a new post-Muslim Brotherhood constitution. She was addressing the matter of which constitution the Egyptians should model theirs on. In the process she stated that she would not base it on the US Constitution. Instead she actually suggested that the South African Constitution is the one the Egyptians should consider; this when more than a million white South Africans have left the country because the government of the country makes fulltime war on them under that constitution. Literally thousands of white farmers have now been killed under that constitution and a woman sentenced to three years in jail for using the South African equivalent of the N-word. I, and many tens of thousands of White South Africans, have moved to Canada because she is 100% wrong. She calls the South African Constitution a “Great Piece of Work”. If this is the level of insight and analytrical ability she has, then she has overstayed her free parking on the US Constitution.

However, much worse: If these are her convictions, and the result in South Africa is anything to go by, then millions of Americans are in desperate danger and are likely completely unaware of it. The Laws enacted under that South African Constitution have chased around one fifth of the White population, the author included, out of that country in despair of any future for their children.

The CIA World Factbook states that 72.4% of the US population is white and that the total population is 329,256,465. Let’s round that to 330 million. That makes the white population around 238 million. One fifth of the White American population is around 48 million people. Where exactly would they flee to? Are folks going to ask white Americans the same infantile question as white South Africans face all the time, namely, “Why don’t you go back?“. Like the White South Africans, where exactly would 48 million Americans “go back” to? Both nations have been in their respective countries since the 1600s with no right of return to anywhere.

My position

If Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is correct about the South African Constitution, then she needs to explain the result to me. If she indeed is as intelligent as I assume her to innately be, then, as a person of some moral rectitude, she ought to take a stand against the South African government.  That government is busy urging racial attacks under that constitution and is attempting to steal the titled property of people based on skin colour.

If she thinks I’m a little vexed on this subject, then I suggest she reads THIS article by the Hoover Institution.

Donald Trump, Obama, South Africa, United States

—Dan Happel is a conservative American and host of a show that he calls Connecting the Dots. I have appeared several times on his show in which the parallels between the USA and South Africa are highlighted and I extract for Americans the lessons they need to learn from the South African experience. With Americans going to the polls two weeks from now, it is a good time to remind folks of these lessons and of the consequences of not heeding them. Those who have followed this blog will know that I have posted links to several of these programmes. I have now found that two more of the shows are available to non-subscribers. They may be found HERE (30 March 2017) and HERE (28 December 2017).

US Media Interviews

— Since my return from the late June 2018 conference in the USA, I have been interviewed twice on US media and two more interviews are lined up at this time. One of the recent interviews was with Erin Ryan and Bill Cundiff, a superb Northern Californian couple who present WethePeopleRadio every Sunday. This is a two-hour slot transmitted from Redding, California, where there is a terrible fire at this time. The other interview was with Dan Happel, but is only available on a paid subscription.

Obama’s Mandela Day Speech

The kinds of things Obama was saying in Johannesburg on 17 July 2018 were 100% in line with the sketch of him I had made offline to Erin and Bill before. So, I sent Erin an e-mail titled “Told ya!“. She actually posted that e-mail on the internet and we agreed to another two-hour interview, which happened on 22 July 2018. The full interview may be heard HERE.

Erin also posted a note on the WeThePeopleRadio site in which she wrote:

Tuesday night I was driving home from Siskiyou County and just to make myself crazy I listened to Obama on satellite radio addressing a large group in South Africa. I couldn’t stop thinking, “That’s EXACTLY what Harry said about him!!!” When I got home Dr. Booyens’ message [“Told ya!”] was waiting in my inbox. I knew we had to have him on to discuss this urgent topic, because as much as South Africa seems a long way from the United States we are MUCH closer than you think.

The first hour is mostly the required background on Africa, without which Obama’s statements would have little meaning to the uninformed. With that background under the belt, the second hour goes into what he actually said.  And Americans in particular should take note.

My Comment

My comment is, why exactly are Americans surprised that Obama presided over such intense racial division, the diminishment of the USA in the world, and the hollowing out of Western institutions in the USA? The USA is living right now with the consequences of electing this Africa-inspired man to the office of president and maintaining him there for eight years. He has Africanised everything he has touched, has presided over the corrupting of the state, and has misled half the US population in the process.

The photo below shows Obama and Cyril Ramaphosa, the new president of South Africa who is trying to take away the land of white farmers without compensation — Mugabe and the Mau-Mau all over again. Obama calls him “Inspiring”. That right there should tell Americans everything they need to know.

Several years ago I was in a business in North Vancouver. The young lady who attended to me was of Indian extraction. She asked whether I was from South Africa. When I acknowledged, she said her father was from East Africa. Knowing what was done to the Indian people in East Africa I told her I’d love to know what her father thought of Barack Obama. She leaned forward over the desk and said under her breath, “He says Obama is bloody Mau-Mau.”

There must be a reason why an Indian man from East Africa and a Caucasian from South Africa who never ever met each other would have the same analysis of a situation. For those who have never heard the term “Mau-Mau” before, read the Wikipedia article, and see the note by the Luo Kenyan author, Bethwell Ogot:

Mau Mau fighters, . . . contrary to African customs and values, assaulted old people, women and children. The horrors they practiced included the following: decapitation and general mutilation of civilians, torture before murder, bodies bound up in sacks and dropped in wells, burning the victims alive, gouging out of eyes, splitting open the stomachs of pregnant women.

Obama’s father was a Luo born on the shores of Lake Victoria.

Perhaps Americans need to do more homework on their presidential candidates before putting them up for nomination. If they make this mistake again there is no telling where their future president might go to “find his roots”, as Obama did in the 1990s. There is nothing wrong with Kenya, but the Mau-Mau is quite something else.

And perhaps Obama SHOULD become president of Kenya, as some have quipped, following in the footsteps of other fellow Luo personages like Oginga Odinga. Who knows; they might make him President-for-life, as Africa is wont to do. Until then, read THIS article from Kenya and see the bit about Obama’s father’s speech in Hawaii.

Proper and Improper Parallels between the USA and South Africa

Tags

Donald Trump, Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, Obama, South Africa, United States

On Thursday 29 June 2017, Dan Happel, host of the Internet Radio programme Connecting the Dots, interviewed Harry Booyens, author of AmaBhulu. The subject was “proper and improper parallels between the USA and South Africa”, and what the United States could learn from South Africa.

The  discussion touched on the remarkably similar histories of the two countries and their common origins; both started by the Dutch, both taken by the British, both fighting for their independence, both winning their first wars against Britain. In fact, South africa has been described as The Second America, a concept incorporated in the subtitle of the book AmaBhulu. The interview went on to look at parallels between the two countries in order to better clarify the damaging improper parallels that have been drawn between the two countries since around 1966, starting with the visit of the late Senator Robert Kennedy’s to South Africa.

The profound difference between the terms “African American” and “Black American” were discussed, along with the resulting implications that the USA is only now starting to appreciate after the departure of Barack Obama, an actual African American, from the White House.

While the American experience of Black/White relations may well be that of a Master and a Slave whose original culture had been forcibly removed, the South African experience is one of Clashing Civilisations. Unlike Black Americans, Black people in South Africa have no confusion about the culture and origins of their ancestors. When Americans, against this background, project their experience onto South Africa, they make serious errors of interpretation, analysis, and judgment.

The conversation went on to discuss the hopes for both countries centered on the new American President, Mr. Donald Trump.

The entire radio interview may be heard and downloaded HERE.

The Great Obama Reversal

Tags

Donald Trump, Mandela, Obama, South Africa, United States

I must be honest; I am truly glad to see the back of Barack Hussein Obama, and I mean that literally (below). I think he was a serious disaster as leader, not just for the United States, but for the world as a whole. I leave it to Americans to debate Obamacare, but I care about the greater issues of the Western World and its civilization which I deeply value. His term in office was nothing but a massive reversal of the West. I shall take it to my grave as “The Great Obama Reversal“.

The disaster is all the much worse given the fact that almost everyone gave him every possible chance. I had huge reservations about him, but also some hope, as explained below. He was even given the Nobel Peace Prize for having done absolutely nothing yet at the time. However, when he left office he had a record of having bombed seven nations—Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia.  In the sweeping Droning Arc from Pakistan to Somalia he missed out only Iran and Saudi Arabia. Given he said he was elected to get America out of wars in the Middle East, he remained embroiled in several of those and the Guantanamo Base Detention Camp is still open.

From Day One

From his first day in office to his very last I experienced this man as someone who had no great care for the basic interests of the civilization that had placed him in that role. It seemed as though every action he took was directed towards harming those interests in some way or another.

It pretty much started with his “Apology Tour” through the Middle East (Cairo 2009 below) in the first months of his rule.

He spoke as though he knew better than anyone else what was good for the USA. Yet he came from the outer margins of that country, exhibited zero awareness of the entire middle of the country outside Chicago, and had spent formative years in Muslim Indonesia, completely outside of Western Civilization. Every action he took diminished the standing of that Civilization. He seemed to consider himself the Emperor of the United States and appeared incapable of formulating a sentence without the word “I”.

Those from Africa recognize that behavior only too well. It is the basis of the Big Man Theory of African leadership and its reliance on unquestioning adulation and ululating females. And unquestioning adulation is most certainly what he had from the Left in the USA, including the vast bulk of the media. In fact, it was embarrassing to watch. We were spared the ululating females, but they did scream a lot.

A real African-American

Americans, unfortunately, use the term “African-American” to describe those Americans who have some degree of African descent far back in their family histories, but who share the American experience and culture. America, as a whole, has a Northern European Judeo-Christian value set and culture, not an African one. It would be much more appropriate to refer to Black Americans as exactly that, namely “Black Americans”. They are merely Americans who happen to be black. They do not share the values, convictions, or culture of Africa.

Obama, by contrast, REALLY IS African-American. That is, his one parent was really from Africa. He said it himself to applause in Kenya. Significantly, I never heard him say it in the USA. His father (below) was from Mau-Mau era Kenya, and not from, for example, Georgia, Alabama or Mississippi. His white mother was from Kansas. However, when he eventually wrote a book, it was titled Dreams from my Father (a story of Race and Inheritance). I leave the reader to consider which this would suggest was the greater influence on his psyche and thinking, his mother or his father. His formative experience as a young man in college/university was his effort in implementing sanctions against South Africa in the 1980s, and he confesses that he found the 1980 events in South Africa inspirational in this regard.  South Africa was in flames and Winnie Mandela was promoting the use of “matches” and “Necklaces”, a euphemistic reference to burning people alive in gasoline soaked tires. So, his view was an African Nationalist perspective.

This means his inspiration came not from Martin Luther King, the religious leader who defines the majority of Black Americans, but from a jailed African terrorist leader with a legal background and training in bomb-making in Ethiopia, known to innocent North Americans as Nelson Mandela.  This information was out there before Americans voted in Barack Obama as President.  Perhaps this clarifies to Americans why it is that he associated with urban bombers like Bill Ayers. It remains a mystery to this author how Americans could have failed to anticipate this typically Africanist behaviour.

Like Mandela, he had a penchant—and a suitable voice—for soaring rhetoric in public speaking and a zero track record of delivery. Mandela promised “Never again!” and a handful of years later his own party minions implemented racially discriminating legislation. This is “known territory” to those from Africa. All that was missing was the ululating women. However, the ecstatic awestruck adulation in the faces of American women in November 2008 did not escape my notice. I’d seen it before with Mandela and it scared me to my core. At least one white American woman expressed that adulation in my own Canadian lounge. Reason and logic had departed them, but they knew they supported this man. They caused me to question female suffrage for the first time in my life. As an American lady said to my own mother on Frankfurt Airport in Germany, “We’re all in love with him“.

Given the above, it should come as no surprise that he unified excited Kenyans (above – Nairobi, Kenya) and divided Americans by race (below – Ferguson, Missouri). I do not believe Americans realized how much Ferguson looked like 1980s South Africa, complete with V-hulled armored vehicles based on licensed South African technology. For South Africans watching it was clear déjà vu.

Refusal to respect the Will of the People

When the nation voted and the Republicans won majorities in both Houses of Congress in 2014, he did not compromise like President Clinton and presidents before him. Instead, he simply resorted to Executive Orders (below) to do what he wanted to do, thereby sidelining and wilfully diminishing the entire democratically elected Congress. That is, he went brazenly against the Will of the Nation. He even issued Executive Orders (effectively edicts) instructing government officials and security agencies to not enforce some existing laws of the country. That characteristic disregard for duly formalized law is typical of African dictators from Idi Amin to Robert Mugabe.

As always, dictatorial characters have undying support from unquestioning supporters. In Equatorial Guinea, the state-operated radio declared President Obiang the country’s “god” with “all power over men and things,” and thereby he “can decide to kill without anyone calling him to account and without going to hell.” I am truly hard put to tell the difference between that view of the particular African radio station and CNN’s (Cable News Network) sycophantic attitude towards Barack Obama. That American media outlet eventually lost the ability to make any rational assessment of anything Obama did. It completely subverted its own role as a leading member of the Fourth Estate. It can now at best be described as “Dripping Poison in High Definition”.

Guilty Conscience about Slavery

Obama’s relationship with his effectively disenfranchised white subjects in the USA was in the nature of a symbiotic psychosis. Liberal White Americans nurse a semi-psychotic guilty conscience about slavery. So they voted him in with zero background in management or leadership of anything so as to atone for America’s “original sin”. To my mind, they seemed to experience it as a form of delusional self-designed absolution. If they thought that was going to work, they were sadly mistaken. By the end of his second term, racial animus in the USA was greater than at any time since Kennedy.

Obama, in his turn, absolutely milked that guilt for all it was worth, reveling in its associated paralyzing Political Correctness; this despite the fact that his bloodline had zero exposure to slavery by white men. The insanity of this guilt is actually best exemplified by Britain’s Gordon Brown handing him a piece of wood (below) from a British anti-slaving ship, the HMS Gannet. Brown must have been desperate to find a suitable black man to give that to. A guilty conscience will make rational men do truly stupid things. And someone will always exploit it.

A War on Law and Order

On more than one occasion Obama elected to opine about shootings by police and was proven wrong. Nevertheless, his Justice Department made a point of persecuting the Police in the USA to the point where the latter were no longer prepared to fully do their jobs. In Chicago they have in recent times essentially been working to rule. The result is a staggering increase in shooting deaths in Chicago in 2016. In effect, he was leading a war on Law and Order and demoralizing police forces all over the country. The same was true of border patrol officers. Even when his disgraceful policy on Sanctuary Cities led to the killing of an innocent young white girl by an illegal immigrant this ideological man did not relent. Kate Steinle (left) died in her distraught father’s arms and Obama maintained a stony silence. This stands in stark contrast to his reactions when Police shot black men in the course of law enforcement.

In this respect, it is to be noted that he appointed as Attorney General first a man of color and then a lady of color. To be specific, he ensured that the internal security controls in the country were specifically not in the hands of white men. This reeked of what happened in South Africa in 1994. This was a clear message to a certain section of the Black American population who wanted “to stick it to white men” at a time when “one of their own” was in charge.  When he invited into the White House organizations that had brazenly chanted “Pigs in a blanket; fry ’em like bacon“, referring to policemen, it turned into something akin to open season on the Police.

Before he left office, white police officers were being targeted for execution by black men just as white farmers in South Africa are still being targeted for murder by black men. Obama was turning the United States into South Africa, a place he apparently admired. Black people have all the political power there and a Black Nationalist  Socialist government is busy openly subjugating white people. This would be in keeping with Obama’s father’s 1950s Mau-Mau Kenya. This is where his focus was. He did not much care about Foreign Policy, and it shows. The fact that he appointed a non-American-born Black man as US Ambassador to South Africa is similarly instructive as regards his view on the world.

When a young Indian lady here in Vancouver told me that her family was from East Africa, I asked her what her father thought of President Obama.  Her response under her breath was “He says Obama is ‘bloody Mau-Mau’ “. There must be a reason why an expatriate Caucasian from South Africa and an expatriate Indian from Kenya who had never met each other would have similar impressions of a world leader.

Benghazi

The worst moment was the disgraceful 2012 debacle in Benghazi. As though the deaths of four brave Americans was not bad enough, he and Hillary Clinton proceeded to openly lie to the parents of the fallen about what had happened. I listened very carefully to the infamous “Rose Garden Statement” he made the morning after the event, and his later description of what he had said in the earlier statement was plainly wrong. And that lie, protected by the now conveniently missing Candy Crowley of CNN, completely derailed Mitt Romney’s electoral effort.

Obama demonstrated in that event that he had the lawyer’s knack for manipulating words to completely twist a point. Romney could not bring himself to correctly call the President a liar to his face and just folded in full view of the whole world. His campaign died right there. I got up and walked out of my house, knowing Obama had lied and Romney had folded. CNN thereby inflicted Obama on the USA for a second completely disastrous term during which his overreach exceeded anything the US had yet seen. And the disasters were even greater, including ISIS and Syria.

As I had predicted, he eventually made sure he did not leave office without selling out Israel. Mere hours before leaving office, he also sent $221 million to the Palestinian authority, disregarding a House of Representatives hold placed on that money.

No Scandals….. Really!? Seriously!?

Now his sycophants want to tell us that “There was no scandal during his two terms“. I think they should try to explain that to the parents of the men who died at Benghazi. Their sons were left to die and they as parents were brazenly lied to about the circumstances. Obama’s supporters should try to say that to the conservative organizations that were scandalously targeted by the Obama IRS. How is it that there was supposedly no scandal, but the perpetrators, including Lois Lerner below, “took the Fifth”.

And then there were the flights in the night of box loads of cash to Iran and the associated release of hostages. Am I truly expected to not compare that to Reagan’s Iran-Contra scandal? I have not yet begun on the matters that I consider to be Criminal Negligence of Leadership, as in Syria.

Killing Bin Laden

His supporters point to the killing of Bin Laden, but it would have taken a lack of character to NOT give the order. It was Seal Team Six that killed that monster under the high level command of Vice Admiral William H. McRaven; not Barack Obama. The President watched Osama die by remote observation (below). Brigadier General “Brad” Webb, in uniform, was running the link to the observation drone. Tom Donilon, standing behind Webb, did not want Obama to watch. One imagines that, if Obama was going to claim the honors repeatedly, as he subsequently did, then he had to at least be able to prove that he had watched.

Everything turns into Libya

I never thought a US president would drive me to agree with Vladimir Putin. Yet, when Putin commented that “everything the USA touches turns into Libya or Iraq“, he was 100% correct. And the hand on the tiller was that of Obama, whether via Hillary Clinton or not. Whether it be Libya, or the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, or the rise of Isis, or the human disaster in Syria (below), or the loss of one third of Iraq to ISIS, or the unfettered expansion of Russia, these matters are all directly attributable to him.

In that respect, he is  to blame for the influx of millions of refugees into Europe and the deaths of innocents along the way (below)

I lay the annexation of Crimea at his door, and so too the “rebel” invasion of Eastern Ukraine, which gave us the shooting down of Flight MH17 (below) and the loss of all those innocent lives. Weakness will do that every time.

By the refugee disaster he also assured the positive Brexit Vote in the UK, and the likely near future demise of Angela Merkel.

In a beautiful irony, he presided over the Final Failure of Western Liberalism and hastened it by his disgraceful ineptitude. Perhaps one should thank him for that.

 Memories of another failed president

The man was a comprehensive disaster as president and anyone in the USA that cannot comprehend that is devoid of any useful concept of the planet he or she is living on. Never in the history of the USA has one president so miserably weakened the country and the West internationally. His only close competition was the highly lamentable Jimmy Carter, of whom it was once said, “why could he not have gone directly to Ex-President“.

At least one Democrat told me Obama was “the best thing that ever happened to Jimmy Carter“. It was Jimmy Carter who gave the world Robert Mugabe and received him in the White House (right). It seems age has brought wisdom, because Carter now acknowledges that things have gone wrong. That wisdom comes too late for Zimbabwe and some 40,000 Ndbele who were killed by Mugabe. Those of us who had lived in that part of the world for 330 years at the time, knew exactly what would happen, but were not heard. The man from the peanut fields of Georgia reckoned he knew better at the time.

In fact, Obama was closer to Carter’s UN Ambassador Andrew Young, who infamously considered the Cubans a “stabilizing” influence in Africa and was dismissed for secretly meeting with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Obama went one step further and “normalized” relations with Castro’s Cuba and gave $221 million to the PLO on his way out the door.

A Nice Guy

All Obama’s supporters are left with is that “He was a nice guy“, the silly race-driven observation that “he was the first Black US President“, and “Look how nicely he handled the transition to Trump” (below – Obama’s ‘stuff’ being moved).

None of these impresses me. There are many competent Black Americans who would have done a vastly superior job and there are even more nice guys that would have done well. Furthermore, he undermined Trump during the transition. The fact that he finally did something useful and constructive over the last two days of his term does not make up for the preceding 2920 days.

My own hopes dashed

I had hoped that Obama would put pressure on the South African government to stop its low-level war on white people. It would have been wonderful if that direction had come from the most powerful black man on earth. However, he did the opposite. He allowed a convicted common black criminal from South Africa, Winnie Mandela, to be invited by Black American churches. Ronald Reagan understood exactly what she was, but he was ignored on the subject in the 1980s. These churches fawned on that woman and actually threatened some of my American friends if they dared to protest anywhere near her visit. Liberal Canada refused her entry as properly convicted felon.

In reality, none other than Desmond Tutu’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (See page 555 of the formal report in this link) associated her home in Soweto with the murders of twelve people and deemed her involved in some torture cases. Given that Obama actually appointed the ghostwriter of Nelson Mandela’s “auto”-biography to his Administration, all hope was lost. Clearly, Obama was at heart part of the International African Nationalist movement. Americans just could not see it because they were  blinded by their sense of guilt and generally have no idea what Uhuru is or what the Mau-Mau were. They can read all about it in Chapter 20 of the book AmaBhulu.

Perhaps now ordinary American folks are ready to try and understand Africa, because they just had a close scrape with it. It could have been worse. Meanwhile, it would be most helpful if concerned Americans could now start getting over themselves as regards Slavery. The disabling nursing of guilt is actually hurting the planet.

A Weight off the Soul

As the helicopter taking him away from the White House receded from view (below) and the cameras lost focus, I felt  an enormous weight lift off my soul. There was hope again. Dear Lord, Hope! And that was when I started crying from sheer relief.

I leave it to Americans to write irrelevant praises of an embarrassingly failed president who did more harm to the world than he could ever imagine. May he be a great ex-president and enjoy his presidential museum, suitably stuck in Chicago. History will deal very harshly with him, unless it is written by another civilization.

I have considerable doubts about Donald Trump, but I know his heart is in the right place, even if he misplaces his mouth with some regularity. His family is still based within 5 miles of where some of my 17th Century Judeo-Christian family ancestors came from.

And it is not in far distant Hawaii, or Indonesia in the Far East around Krakatoa, …. or, for that matter, Kenya in Darkest Africa.

Obama sells out Israel, as predicted

Tags

Israel, Obama, South Africa, United States

On 9 Jun 2002, this author was host to an Israeli high technology representative on a visit to Vancouver in Canada. While staring out over the Burrard Sound, I predicted for the visitor that the next Democratic Administration in the United States would “sell out Israel”. The warning was politely laughed off and I was told it would never ever happen. A decade-and-a-half later, the bulk of Israel’s Jewish population has come to share the view of the present author.

Against this personal background, the summary of my book AmaBhulu states, with reference to South Africa:

There is something inherently obscene about the West commending the destruction of its own first outer wall, even as it is preparing to sell out Israel, the guardian on its second outer wall. That country will soon be treated the same way the West treated “the Second America,” and it will be morally assailed by the media.

These words by the present author were written well before President Barack Obama (above left) demonstrated vividly to all with intelligence that he considered Israel a greater burden on his presidency than Iran, as proven by the infamous “Iran Nuclear Deal”. It is also borne out by his damaging negative campaign against Israel from the very day he assumed office. In fact, my warning to the Israeli visitor was issued long before any ordinary Americans had heard of this creature called Barack Obama. The author’s logic was based on a study of the US Democrats over a period of some 40 years and their consistent slither to the Left of spectrum.

At the UN

This past week, in backing the UN resolution against Israel, Obama finally irrevocably crossed the line and demonstrated why he is, and has been from the beginning, an enemy of Western Civilization. He revealed his true colors for all to see in public. Israel’s leader, Bibi Netanyahu (above right) has reacted with fury, and with great justification. Listen carefully to Ben Rhodes in this second clip above. Rhodes has always been the brain behind Obama’s foreign policy disasters. He is infinitely far more than a speech writer.

Rhodes is born of a New York Jewish mother. I wonder how he faces her. I wonder how she faces her friends. Ben is brother to the president of CBS News.

To understand the implications of Obama’s action, listen to the statement by highly respected syndicated columnist and converted liberal, Charles Krauthammer.

Not satisfied with dancing on the grave of South Africa, Obama has finally assailed Israel, just as I have predicted. It remains a mystery to me how Americans by the millions could not see this coming. If I had my way, I’d get every single American to google one word: Uhuru. Once they “get it”, I’d want to know what they were thinking in 2008 when they elected the man. This includes my dearest American friends who told me at the time not to worry and that “American presidents always shift to the middle!”

Yeah, right! …… [end of sarcasm]

I guess that’s why he wrote a book about his Uhuru era father from Kenya and not about his American mother from Kansas. [real end of sarcasm, and I know Americans do not like sarcasm]

His first ever public speech was an Anti-South African one at Occidental College in Los Angeles in the very early 1980s. It is recorded that this Anti-South African campaign inspired him. It is over this period that his name changed back from the popular “Barry” to “Barack”.

Israel was going to have to wait. But he has finally got to it after eight years. But the hint was there all along. When he went on his 2009 apology tour to the Middle East, he emphasized the “Hussein” in the middle. Now folks want to tell me they did not see it coming. Really!?

The Loudest Political Message Ever

Tags

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Obama, South Africa, United States

As a man born in South Africa who saw his country fed to the wolves by Democrat White Houses and Congresses in the USA, I openly state my overwhelming joy at the massive win of the Republicans over the Democrats in the 8 November 2016 election. I certainly predicted the Trump win and explained why it would be so, but even I did not anticipate just how dramatic the victory would be.

How did I first realize the depth of the resentment of Americans against their ruler? Easy! To explain, I have to go back to middle 2015 on a river boat on the Rhine in Germany (below – Miltenberg with our boat moored).

On the River Boat (June 2015)

The vast majority of passengers are Americans, with a small contingent of Canadians and even smaller contingent of Australians. When one counts the South African expatriates among the Australians and Canadians, they make up the third largest group on the boat. Admittedly this is not a representative sample of the United States population. US folks struggling with their jobs and mortgages do not typically get onto fancy river boats in Europe. Then again, like us, many had saved like crazy in order to be able to do it once in their lives.

For two weeks, every single meal with guests we have not met before starts as follows:
“Where are you from?”…. “Canada!”
“Your accent is not Canadian!”…. “No! It’s South African. We were born there“.
“What do you think of Obama?”……. “(Sigh)“.
I swear, that’s exactly how it went. Every single time. It drove us nuts.

As I’m focusing on my dinner, the lady next to me leans over and whispers conspiratorially in my ear, “He hates America!” She is talking about President Barack Obama.”I don’t care where he was born; he’s not really an American, you know!”

I’m not sure how exactly to respond, but I’m not going to get drawn. She’s a pig-farmer from Virginia and has no qualms about expressing her opinions. Some others are a tad more circumspect, but the resentment against their president is palpable. Actually, it is intense beyond anything I have ever seen. These people hate what he has done to their country and they are at their wits’ end with him.

When the meal finishes and we walk back to our stateroom, I stop to speak to a Democrat from New Hampshire, the “Granite State” and the first to vote in election primaries. He’s a very likable gentleman and we have already had a number of interesting conversations. I tell him,”You know, your countrymen seem ready to hang your president from the yardarm. To be honest, I don’t like the man, but this is so intense that I feel almost obliged to defend him.”

My friend stops dead on the stairs, turns to me, bends down to whisper in my ear [he is very tall], and says:

You do that and they’ll string you up as well.

Now add to the above endless e-mails from friends in the United States who made their unhappiness vividly clear. However, perhaps one had to specifically NOT be an American to see this coming.

Fast forward to 8 November 2016 – The Red Flood

Not only did Trump obliterate the Democrats’ so-called “Blue Wall” stretching solidly from Virginia on the East Coast to Minnesota on the Canadian border, but he has pretty much redefined the Democrats as a regional party with a caucus now having one third of its members from only three coastal states, being Massachusetts, New York, and California.

When one looks at the presidential race only, one finds that the country has been turned into a sea of Republican red counties (click on the map below), with blue Democrat sections in the East (The “Bicycle State” of Vermont, Massachusetts, urban New England, the Greater New York City, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and Baltimore) and on the West Coast, a smattering of counties in the so-called “Black Belt” of the Old “Plantation” South, plus the extended “Mexican” Rio Grande Valley of Texas. Add to this a few odd blue patches in the interior, typically around bigger cities such as Chicago and Detroit with their large Black populations, as well as Madison and Minneapolis. One oddity is Colorado, which is flirting with turning itself into California, mostly based on students. But, look at New York outside the City. It is largely blood-red. That is precisely in keeping with the regular folks I met in “Upstate New York” in the past.

The big blue patch in northern Minnesota is historically the Socialist Corner of the USA, particularly Cook county. No Republican has won in next door St Louis county (the largest) since 1928. The best performance to date has been Trump with 40%. That took some doing.

Do not be fooled by the large blue patches in the southwest of the country. Those counties are massive in size and most of the Democrats are confined to large towns. In Arizona, the blue patch in the south is Pima county with its one third Hispanic population and the blue patches in the north are Coconino county with its one third American Indian population (four different nations) and Apache county in the east with a 73% Indian population. The influence of the Democrat-voting Indian population may be seen on the map below, in which counties with majority Indian populations are shown in red and those with a plurality Indian population are orange. For example, in Montana, the big blue patch in the south of the map above is Big Horn county with its majority Crow Nation population, in red below.

Keep in mind, the retirement havens of New Mexico and Arizona have lots of liberal (read “Democrat”) ex-New Yorkers seeking heat, much like one sees with the blue patch at the bottom of Florida in and around Miami, which might as well be called New York South. A plurality of the so-called “Hispanics” in Florida are expatriate Cubans—first and second generation—who have no love for Leftists. Senator Marco Rubio, a leading Republican, is very representative of this community. The further north one goes in Florida, the more classic “Southern” it becomes.

The bigger blue patch in Nevada is Las Vegas. The bigger patches in Oregon are the Far Left Liberal Portland and Eugene, both seen as Loony Left “student” enclaves. I’ve been there, and, YES, this is the world of “Safe Spaces” and the like. Yet, it was along the Oregon coast that I found an angry old-timer earlier in 2016, expounding on the virtues of Hitler to other folks in a restaurant.

The point is, with the exception of Elitist Vermont, the Kennedy’s Massachusetts, Rich Man’s Connecticut, and parts of Crazy California, the Republicans have almost completely swept non-Mexican non-Indian Rural America.

Democrats have a habit of referring to the centre of the United States as “Fly-over country”. That condescension has cost them the election, because they have pretty much been booted out of “Fly-over country”. They have been so busy making special cases out of the 12% Black population, 11-odd million illegal Mexican immigrants, Muslims, and unmarried women, mostly congregated in the cities, that they have completely forgotten the vast body of White people of the country. If anything, they have acted as the enemy of ordinary White folks in the country, and those folks had had enough. The Democrats also did not seem to care about those ordinary decent non-flag burning Black folks who actually work for a living. They branded conservative Black people traitors and “Uncle Toms”.

To get some idea of the feelings of regular Americans from, say, Montana, listen to Dirk Benedict of A-team fame decribe how he, born and raised in that state, has experienced America in recent times and his reaction to the Trump win. See also THIS from the same Greg Gutfeld Show, related to the student reaction to the Trump win. If you don’t like the folks from “Cowboy” Montana after those two clips, then you probably need therapy.

November 8, 2016 – a poetic view

On the day of the election, in my poetic view, the ordinary working Americans who had built the country came to vote….

They came from the mountains, they came from the forests, and they came from their farms, their haystacks, their cornfields, and their workshops. They came on foot and with their tractors, their flatbed trucks; their night wagons if they had to. They drove, they walked, they crawled. They struggled along with their canes, their walkers, and their crutches. But they came. And they came in their millions from the forgotten rural America and from its broken and crumbling factorylands and its forcibly closed mines. And they came for the man who had finally heard their call about their country and their predicament. And they came to teach Obama, Hillary, and the Democrats a lesson. They came to deliver the loudest political message ever.

To quote Michael Moore (below), they came to deliver the “biggest FU in human history“. He had warned about exactly this. In fact, Bill Clinton had warned, but he was laughed at. His wife was too busy clinging politically to Obama.

The Media

The above was also reflected in the Media. Any viewer of the unfortunate American version of CNN could see that the channel was ganging up on White folks and the Police. I have openly accused them of being the NAACP channel and the Voice of Black Lives Matter. The ordinary white “working stiffs” got zero attention, other than to be called “stupid” and “racist”. Yet, they were the real majority and they were going to teach the Democrats a lesson, and teach them they did.

These good folks also caused CNN to embarrass itself in public, when Hillary conceded the race before CNN could bring themselves to call the election for Trump. It was very funny watching host Jake Tapper’s face “melt” around his skull in the process. While John King was animatedly explaining that there were still votes to count somewhere on his Magic Wall, his separated wife Dana Bash, sitting a few feet away, announced with a shocked face (see below) that Hillary had conceded. Bash emitted the words as though she was announcing a death in the family. King’s own face looked like concrete that had run.

While I really like John King, I openly confess I enjoyed it tremendously. I have had to wait years and years to see “America stick it to CNN.” The same election had shown up CNN as a conniving entity that had secretly slipped Hillary some debate questions. It obviously should not be allowed to host any future Presidential debates.

On MSNBC, known popularly as “The Obama Tribute Channel”, Chris Matthews (left), who I have always called “The Daily Trumpet”, had a meltdown of his own, desperately fighting back tears. I would suggest this is what comes from liberal people practicing groupthink for most of their lifetimes. It has now been decades that they have shut up people who do not agree with them, and they have created a generation of liberal young people who hide in Safe Spaces when someone actually challenges their views. How utterly pathetic. For eight years they have behaved like an Obama Tribute Council. As I have stated elsewhere, they have drunk their own Kool-Aid and now have the runs. They have descended to believing their own BS. FoxNews stood quite alone in at least attempting to be objective. The rest did not even vaguely try.

There is no forgiveness for that phenomenon. The US Formal Media, the so-called American Fourth Estate, is a massive collective failure and a danger to the nation. It is not doing its job when a Democrat is in the White House, and it has finally caught up with them. The New York Times published a sort of Mea Culpa two days ago, but by this morning they were back to their bias. There is no such thing as fixing a lack of character or integrity.

The Result

When one checks the results by county one finds that, of the almost 700 counties that Obama won twice, Trump has converted 209—about 30%—to Republican. Of those that voted for the Republican Romney before, Clinton won only six. This is a staggering result.

An important result that has attracted less attention, is that Republicans have not only retained the Senate and the House of Representatives, but they have 36 of 50 state governorships. Of those 36 states they control both the governorship and the legislatures of 24 states. The Democrats can say that of only 6 states. Of the total of 99 different state legislative chambers in the various states, the Republicans control 69.

For this, the Democrats can thank Barack Obama, a man who preferred to have nothing to do with the Senate and House of Representatives and, like a medieval king, elected instead to rule by edict in order to force on a nation all that it disliked. The proof is in the blood-red Republican map of the United States. Instead of distancing herself from Obama, Clinton attempted to “extend his reign”. That was the real fundamental flaw. Her unsuitability as candidate was secondary; Trump, in his own way, was equally personally flawed as candidate. America was not buying the Obama line anymore. It had had quite enough, as pointed out before.

For the rest of the world

Perhaps now we can all expect a more rational and robust US Foreign Policy that actually has the interests of the West at heart. I never once had the impression that it was of any concern to Obama. He seemed more concerned with supporting Orange Revolutions left right and centre, until it reared up and bit him when the “Arab Spring” morphed into Fanatical Muslim Fundamentalism and ISIS. How that was not predictable staggers the intellect.

Trump is a pragmatist – no more spreading of Democracy to those who cannot handle it or abuse it to spread terrorism. And that is why I welcome his advent.

Too brilliant to hear a fact

African National Congress (ANC), Hillary Clinton, Obama, South Africa, United States Congress

I have been hoping and praying that the US State department will at some point start putting pressure on the ANC government of South Africa to (i) cease its threatening and harrassment of white people and to (ii) stamp out corruption. However, under Obama, there is no hope of that.

This brings us to the present looming election in the United States and the hope of  a new US president taking the above actions against the ANC. This assumes that a new president will not be corrupt to start with and will respect the rule of law. I happened to be watching Fox News the other day and caught this little gem by Xavier Becerra, House Representative of the Democratic Party and senior House Hispanic Caucus member. He was defending Hillary Clinton in her bid for the White House and clearly was not going to be bothered by a little thing like logic or fact.

The background is the e-mail security issue around Hillary Clinton, who brazenly broke the law by putting top secret State Department information on her hackable private server. To understand just how extensive the problem was, read THIS well presented blogpost by DC Rutledge, who walks the reader through the announcement made by FBI Chief James Comey. Earlier, the whole world heard Comey say in almost so many words, “She’s guilty as all sin and therefore (!!!?) we are not prosecuting her“.

Chris Wallace of Fox News raises the e-mail issue with Becerra in THIS CLIP. He points Becerra to Comey’s own statement that clarifies that IT DOES NOT MATTER whether a document is marked “Secret”. If the information on it is secret, then the document is secret, marked or not marked. PERIOD! Actually, no one who has handled classified information in any advanced country has unclarity in this matter. In fact, Wallace plays the clip of Comey explaining this.

Listen to Becerra’s answer. What comes out of Becerra’s mouth was too much for this author.

I’m absolutely incredulous. First of all, Comey announces that, basically, no matter that Clinton is guilty as sin, she will not be prosecuted like everyone else, including Edward Snowden and Chelsey Manning. One has fled to Russia and the other is in jail. Then comes Becerra and negates the rules that Comey himself states clearly, and he does so within seconds of hearing Comey’s words. What an absolutely vivid demonstration that liberal people are deaf to fact, even when stated in words of one syllable by the head of the FBI. Incredible!

All of this tells me that we can forget about any pressure on the criminal infested ANC government of South Africa if Hillary Clinton should win the White House.

It also proves to me that none of these people have any clue what the security interests of their country are. If they do, then they certainly do not care about it.
