At the end of the Africa-Europe talks in Lisbon, President of Senegal had this to say concerning the much touted agreements between "equals" (E.P.A.'s)

“It’s clear that Africa rejects the E.P.A.’s,” President Abdoulaye Wade of Senegal said at a news conference, claiming the support of the president of South Africa, Thabo Mbeki. “We are not talking any more about E.P.A.’s; we’ve rejected them.” [nytimes]

Reading this statement gives me renewed hope that Africa is on her way to recovery. It doesn't surprise me that Mbeki himself didn't have the testicular wherewithal to say this himself, leaving it instead to his Senegalese counterpart to do the honours alone. To his credit, he IS making headway in as much as the British experiment with independent Zimbabwe is being made to flounder. It is time our leaders acted provocatively. Their statements need to court controversy, instead of secret winks in board rooms. The electorate need to be involved in the dialogue. Hearing our leaders make statements abroad and face the music when they do so, will be the first step in raising public awareness to issues such as these. I am doubtful if the Senegalese president's statement will make the domestic papers (in Azania), and even if it does, it will not capture the audience as much as the same statement would have, had it been made by Mbeki himself. To his further "credit", Mbeki does face significant domestic pressure. This pressure comes as part of the package, being a "leader" with the kind permission of his zionist benefactors. He can only continue his engagements in Harare, due to the more or less independent security team that comes with the office of president. He and his cabinet are some of the few who can engage in foreign affairs in this way and get away with their lives. I continue to wonder if even they know the dangers posed to them by the gangsters who effectively run the stock exchanges in Johannesburg and Tel Aviv.

Concerning the Lisbon affair, it is obvious to anyone who is not a pathetic victim of the pro zionist African Nationalist propaganda machine, that we are not equals to the one's who effectively run our economy from London, New York and other neo-colonial economic centers.

There can be no freedom without equality. And no deals between a master and slave can be equitable. Equality begins with genuine autonomy. And sadly, such autonomy can only come after open conflict and when the nation can defend itself from military attack. It would place African people in good stead to strengthen trade partnerships with friendly governments, as well as to acquire military capabilities of the their own and to secure reliable international alliances of the kind that would offer military support if we are attacked by Europe or America. These are the prerequisites to signing any deals with gangsters. Who goes to gang land unarmed is a fool.

It would be better if no deals were signed to begin with. Sanctions are in effect an open arrangement that display the real undercurrents to our dealings with thugs. Sanctions are a blessing; free trade deals are a curse. By disguising their true purposes, FTA/EPA's, lull the public into acquiescence, whereas hostile policies like sanctions, promote domestic policies that confront the enemy and deal with the situation by the horns. Of course, such a domestic situation will be complex to begin with. We see open conflict in Zimbabwe. There are some who will be misled into partnerships, believing as they do, the promises made to them by a middle class elite who lead the way in such deals. Even the current situation of the tip toeing regime in Pretoria is testimony to the nature of this dynamic. I would argue that Zimbabweans are more fortunate than Azanians, due to the fact that they are more mature and politically organised than their southern brothers. Not least of all, it is far safer to walk the streets of Harare than it is to walk in Johannesburg by day.

F_ck you all who say I am rude. I am a polite a boy. A believer in the last day, unlike many of you sons of beaches.

What you need to understand about this blog is researchable. Like the spider on the banner, much of what this rude boy does in the centre is nothing but a decoy for what is happening to the right and left.

That reminds me of this video. A comedy? Perhaps. Thing is, Azanian life, education in particular, is anything but "applicable". The reason Casper De Vries is so loved and watched all over the world, is because his stuff is satirical. Of course, his audiences may sometimes leave much to be desired, coming from years of racist dominated education and now facing neo-racism, the chickens have come on home. But be that as it may be, Casper is on the spot. The audience may need a bit of guidance, but they are not far off from getting to the solutions either.
 My kids just love this video clip. They repeat the line "What is this? It's a f_cking parrot. But it is not applicable".

Here's Casper's video clip. Enjoy. Or else, f_ck off and die, you sons of beaches.

The entity known as israel exists as a result of racial discrimination. It's continued disregard for human rights is a blemish on all humanity. The Durban conference of 2001 (now over shadowed by the zionist-driven events of September 2001), clearly demonstrated that the world is strongly opposed to the new apartheid in the Holy Land. The implications of the actions of this terror state can be seen in the sad global conflict which threatens to continue spreading like a cancer. Of all the nations on God's beautiful earth, why does South Africa still cozy up to this terrorist state occupying Jerusalem?

The Iranian president, Ahmadi Nejad speaking to the Washington Press Corps on Monday Sept 24th 2007, made these wise comments:

"We do not recognize that regime because it is based on discrimination" and, "It consistently threatens its neighbors."

Christian Science Monitor

Good for you President Ahmadi Nejad. Of course, many of his statements continue to be misquoted and ridiculed as deceptive by those who try to conceal the truth about the zionist terrorists and their plans for global domination. Anyone who needs proof for what may seem strange and unbelievable, only needs to look at the wars being fought in order to dominate the oil rich region. Surely South Africa's leaders realise that when Africa stands up against this mighty force of evil, she will be attacked by the kind of military force we see in Iraq and Somalia. What cowards they are to continue to lie to us. We should be putting our voice more firmly behind the downtrodden instead of accepting bribes silently. This kind of dishonesty attracts politicians of low morality and in the end, greed leads to a spiral of moral corruption, and eventual social and political decay. Domestically and internationally, South Africa will lose ground until the truth becomes painfully obvious. Of course, economically South Africa will continue to grow from strength to strength as we did under Apartheid. But in the end, the pack of cards will come tumbling down.

My question remains, why does South Africa support this terror driven state calling itself Israel? I hazard to make two guesses: 1) my question will be ignored or largely countered by unreasonable responses 2) the reason South Africa supports Israel is because Israel supports South Africa i.e. nothing has changed since Apartheid was abolished. A new Apartheid has emerged since the ANC was unbanned. It is an economic apartheid and the country is still dominated by the same kind of selfish criminals as before.

Our prayers are that the Iranian people continue to protect the truth and oppose evil. And for the people of Azania and Palestine, may they also one day be free.

This post refers to an article by John Yeld of the Cape Argus covering a paper in the Medical Journal "The Lancet".
The authors of the paper (subsequently signed by 260 medical professionals worldwide) conclude that the stance of the American medical establishment seems to be one of "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil".
The "Lancet Letter" is entitled
Biko to Guantanamo: 30 years of medical involvement in torture

There are strong parallels between the treatment meted out to murdered Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko and detainees held in the notorious US prison at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere in the so called "war on terror", says a group of more than 260 doctors from around the world.

The group, which includes South Africans, has called for the US doctors involved in treating these prisoners especially those helping to force feed detainees on hunger strike by inserting tubes into their noses to be reported to their professional medical bodies for breaching internationally accepted ethical guidelines.

The doctors express their outrage in a letter that appears in today's edition of The Lancet, the prestigious independent medical journal published in Britain.

The 30th anniversary of Biko's death from severe head injuries is next week.

Biko was savagely beaten by Port Elizabeth security police while being held in solitary confinement and driven naked in the back of a police Land Rover to Pretoria, where he died a lonely death in a police cell.

Hastings Ndlovu: first martyr in 1976 SOWETO uprising

Some of you may be shocked after reading that. Not only by the gore of it, but by the fact you could never have imagined that could happen. Let me tell you that the area it happened in is only a twenty minute bus ride out of the centre of a major Azanian port. This gruesome incident occurred in a suburb of Durban City. Yes, you never heard about it being this bad. I know.

The truth is seldom heard. Most people only see blurbs on CNN, and then they are usually the same ones repeatedly shown, regardless of the story connected to them. If such images are shown to you without any information, you assume it happened in one of those "naughty" countries like Zimbabwe or Mogawhatsusname", not good old Mandelaville. The truth is that violence in Azania is so severe it puts Zimbabwe in the eyes (no it's not as bad as Mogadishu yet). Let me say that in standard, non Azanian English: the Azanian violence levels are far worse than that found in Zimbabwe or Malawi. The sad difference is that our situation is ignored. It is drummed home that we are a democratic country so many times, that when people go missing and turn up in the hands of the terror cell controlled from the pentagon, people just continue with their daily duties. After all, South Africa is one of the "good African states", obediently following American and British guidelines about social spending, and economic policies. So, one is sure they did "whatever" for "whatever good reason". So even if you DO happen to hear that "politicians have repeatedly said that security is an expensive affair and that Azanians need to start paying for out of their own pockets", you'd probably agree with them. A few years ago, the security industry was the fastest growing industry. Today, private security companies patrol wealthy neighborhoods, expensive electric fences and burglar alarms are installed by anyone with half a brain and the money to do it. The rest of the folks get screwed. Private security companies have even been signed up to protect certain police stations that had had their weapons stolen so many times, they themselves had become part of the problem.

Of course, I don't blame you for not knowing about our situation. We are a small drop in the ocean compared to all the other things going on. Besides, the media and shoddy journalism is also to blame. This is not only true about Azania (still known by it's colonial name, South Africa). Last month I showed some students a report about the Russian exploration of the North Pole, an dteh following day, one of the net savvy kids showed me a young blogger's response to the event. The video shown during CNN TV soundbyte/blurb was footage taken from the famous movie "Titanic". Though it doesn't prove the Russians had faked the whole affair, it does lead one to question what the media giants really assume about our intelligence. We weren't even informed about the source of the footage, which would have been half respectful. Such oversights or plain shoddy production or "journalism" is meant to sensationalise and sometimes to mislead. Many misconceptions about many important things arise from this sort of dishonesty.

When we actually read the cold hard facts about a situation in Azania or Iraq, we tend to see it in relation to other images we have seen (genuine images or otherwise) and the impact of these hard facts are actually softened by the subliminal (and not so subliminal) repetitive rubbish we have been fed prior to exposure to the facts.

As a result, when we see a leader like Ahmadenijad or Chavez address the UN, though they may be making very good points, if we have been suckered up to that point, we can't understand the address.

Now, back to the article I posted: Why has the situation come to this? If anyone wants my opinion, let me hear yours first. i will only say that it has a lot to do with a culture having been whittled away and something else put in its place. Also with a breakdown of other norms, services, and a silence regarding the whole thing. If there is noise being made, it's all that it amounts to: NOISE. The noise takes place at middle class dinner tables, and among ruling class newspaper redaers. The end result is that nothing ever happens, and a state of paralysis sets in.

There, I've gone and said too much now. I'll leave the rest to you.
