"A student of history cannot help but observe the ominous parallels between Obama and Mandela. Both politicians promised to heal the divisions of racial strife. However, Nelson Mandela did nothing to mend racial discord in South Africa. Instead, Nelson Mandela wholeheartedly embraced policies like Black Economic Empowerment, a perverse South African form of affirmative action in which countless incompetent and often-illiterate blacks displaced competent whites in the civil service for no other reason than their skin color."
"Similarly, Obama has promised to lift the downtrodden and disenfranchised by adopting the same failed Socialist economic policies that Mandela enacted in South Africa. Like Obama, Mandela promised only to tax the "wealthy" and redistribute the wealth to the poor. Further, Mandela adopted a litany of regulations under the auspices of improving conditions for workers, which ultimately made South Africa a much less competitive place in which to do business."
Let us examine Nelson Mandela's achievements, and the events which have occurred in South Africa in the 14 short years since he took power in following the post Apartheid election in 1994, and the new South Africa which he created after coming to power on a surge of worldwide optimism and hope in 1994, when, following the end of Apartheid, he and his followers promised a new dawn for what became termed the Rainbow Nation.
Today South Africa stands out as one of the most dangerous and crime ridden nations on Earth which is not actively at War. In 2001, only seven years after the end of Apartheid, whilst the city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands with 5,6 murders per 100,000 population was declared the "murder capital of Europe", Johannesburg, with 61.2 murders per 100,00 population and remains the world's top murder city.
In South Africa as a whole, the murder rate is seven times that of America, in terms of rape the rate is ten times as high and includes the ugly phenomenon of child rape, one of the few activities in which South Africa is now a world leader. If you don't believe me, you can read what Oprah Winfrey has to say about it here.
All other forms of violent crime are out of control, and Johannesburg is among the top world cities for muggings and violent assault, a fact seldom mentioned in connection with the 2010 World Cup which is scheduled to be hosted in South Africa.
The rape, murder and violent assault of whites is a daily event, and there is more ...
As with the Matabeleland massacres, news of which the BBC, together with much of the world media suppressed for twenty years to protect their one time hero, Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe, another secret genocide is being ignored by the world media, the genocide of white Boer farmers, thousands of whom have been horribly tortured to death in their homes since the end of Apartheid. Anyone who clicks on this link should we warned that it includes some very gruesome images as the savagery of these attacks belie the authorities attempts to dismiss them as nothing more than a "crime wave".
Given that it is now all but illegal in South Africa to report the race of either victim or the perpetrator of a crime (unless the perpetrator is white and the victim black) and as modern South Africa's official crime statistics are notoriously massaged, it is impossible to know the exact numbers of farm murders that have taken place. Many reliable sources estimate the figure as close to 3,000, but even if we take the more conservative figure of 1,600 quoted in the politically correct South African press (but not quoted at all in ours) this is three times the numbers killed by the South African security forces over a period of 43 years, and which the UN calls a crime against humanity.
To put this in perspective, the population of South Africa is 47 million, (13 million less than Britain despite its far greater land mass) of which the 4.3 million whites account for 9.1%, about 1% less than the immigrant population of Britain. Can you imagine the outcry if 1,600 (let alone 3,000) members of a minority community in Britain were tortured to death by the native population?.
Yet when the victims are white, there is hardly a peep in the South African press and silence from the international media. Compare this to when a white youth is the killer, such as in the case of Johan Nel, who shot three Africans, a story which became instant world wide news with the predictable screams of racism and machete wielding mobs baying for his blood.
Crime aside, Mandela and his ANC inherited the strongest economy in Africa, indeed, despite economic sanctions, South Africa was still one of the richest world nations, and indeed initially there was a brief post Apartheid boom, resulting from the lifting of sanctions and due to the fact that until affirmative action forced most of the whites out of their jobs to be replaced by under qualified blacks, those who had built South Africa were still in place. However, any optimism was to be short lived. Now, after just 14 years of rule by Mandela and his grim successor Mbeki, corruption is rife, the country is beset with power cuts and the infrastructure is crumbling.
The nation's great cities like Durban and Johannesburg, which could once rival the likes of Sydney, Vancouver and San Francisco, had descended in to decaying crime ridden slums within a decade.
And in recent months we have seen the so called Rainbow nations ultimate humiliation, as xenophobic anti immigration violence spreads across the country. (“xenophobic” is what the media call racism when blacks do it) As poverty and unemployment explodes and is exacerbated by the floods of immigrants flooding in to escape the even more advanced Africanisation of the rest of the country, the mobs turn on those they blame for stealing their jobs, their homes, and their women.
Thus the cycle turns, and, like watching some barbaric version of “back to the future", on the news we see exactly the same scenes we saw on our televisions twenty years ago, wrecked buildings, burning vehicles, mobs brandishing machetes, axes and knives hacking at everything and everyone which comes within their reach. Most horrific of all, 'Necklace' lynching returns to South Africa, we see the return of that most savage symbol of African brutality, the necklace where, to the cheers of a blood thirsty crowd, some poor trembling soul, with a tire around his neck, is dragged from his home and set alight, exactly as all those other poor souls were set alight throughout the Apartheid years, when we were told it was all the evil white man's fault. Execution by Necklacing .
As nothing else the return of the necklace exposes the failure of Mandela's revolution, and those who fought for him should weep.
Under Apartheid, blacks and whites went to separate hospitals but they received world class health care, whatever their colour, now the facilities are collapsing or non-existent. Black children went to different schools than white children, but they received an education, something which is now a privileged luxury. When they grew up, their bosses may have been white, but they had jobs and a living wage, as the recent violence shows us, such security is but a memory for most South Africans.
Eighteen years after Nelson and Winnie made their historic walk towards the cameras, and 14 years, since Mandela assumed power on a tide of optimism, a once proud South Africa slides like a crumbling, crime ridden, wreck towards a precipice created through greed, corruption and incompetence.
For all his gleaming smiles, grandfatherly hand gestures, and folksy sound bites, Nelson Mandela and the party he leads, have shown the world that, for all its flaws, Apartheid was a more benign system than what replaced it, and that the average South African was immeasurably better off under the hated white rule than they are under the alternative which black rule has created.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it is an oft-quoted saying directly applicable to Barack Hussein Obama. On Nov 4, mobs of adoring fans celebrated Obama’s victory, for the mob believes that Obama is a transformative figure that will usher monumental and beneficial change. Soon, however, the jubilant celebrations will end and the mob’s intoxicated infatuation will dissipate when it realizes that Obama’s words about change are mere platitudes devoid of substance, much as the promises of Nelson Mandela, a so-called transformative figure and darling of the liberal media, proved to be fruitless.
A student of history cannot help but observe the ominous parallels between Obama and Mandela. Both politicians promised to heal the divisions of racial strife. However, Nelson Mandela did nothing to mend racial discord in South Africa. Instead, Nelson Mandela wholeheartedly embraced policies like Black Economic Empowerment, a perverse South African form of affirmative action in which countless incompetent and often-illiterate blacks displaced competent whites in the civil service for no other reason than their skin color. Consequently, South Africa today has deteriorated from a country that had first world infrastructure under apartheid, into a country with a crumbling and dilapidated infrastructure, as the frequent power blackouts attest. Additionally, Jacob Maroga, a black Mandela crony that became CEO of ESKOM, South Africa’s state owned electricity provider, received an outrageous salary even as the country’s electric grid was collapsing much as Franklin Raines, the black CEO of Fannie Mae and Obama adviser, received an unconscionable compensation package despite being responsible for Fannie Mae’s bankruptcy.
Similarly, Obama has promised to lift the downtrodden and disenfranchised by adopting the same failed Socialist economic policies that Mandela enacted in South Africa. Like Obama, Mandela promised only to tax the “wealthy” and redistribute the wealth to the poor. Further, Mandela adopted a litany of regulations under the auspices of improving conditions for workers, which ultimately made South Africa a much less competitive place in which to do business. Ultimately, Mandela’s economic policies were a colossal failure for South Africa. Poverty and unemployment increased dramatically under Mandela’s rule. In 1994, the United Nations annual Human Development Index survey ranked South Africa number ninety-three in terms of human development, which includes GDP, life expectancy, and literacy. By 2007, South Africa had dropped to number one hundred twenty-one.
Most worrisome for whites in America is the frightening disconnect between Obama’s public calls for racial reconciliation and his past radical associations. Obama associated himself with his radical mentor Jeremiah Wright, who preached anti-white vitriol from the pulpit for twenty years while Obama sat in the pews. Of course, Obama repudiated Wright’s remarks only after they threatened to derail his political campaign. Similarly, Nelson Mandela often spoke about peace and reconciliation, yet Mandela has shouted anti-white slogans like “Kill the Boer, Kill the Farmer” and sung in his native Xhosa about killing whites. THE SONGS THEY SING. The reality is that under Nelson Mandela South Africa spiraled into a wave of uncontrollable crime to where many whites in places like Johannesburg live behind high walls and electric fences. Moreover, since Mandela became President in 1994, South Africa has experienced a wave of black on white violence of genocidal proportions, including the murder of over three thousand white farmers at the hands of black criminals who receive material support from the Communist ANC government. Regrettably, the adulating liberal media fails to report these inconvenient truths about Mandela and Obama because doing so would ruin the myths surrounding these men.
Ultimately, whites in America and throughout the world will watch the Obama myth shatter as the United States decline into Third World status accelerates under Obama. Today, the United States faces a significant financial crisis that may degenerate into a Second Great Depression The United States government is on the verge of bankruptcy, the US has an annual one trillion dollar trade deficit, and Medicare and Social Security face an unfunded liability of fifty-three trillion dollars. Obama has no answers to these problems save to continue with the same failed policies implemented by George W. Bush, as evidenced by Obama’s enthusiastic support and vote for the seven hundred billion dollar bailout of Wall Street banks. Recently, we learned that the banks would use bailout money that the government borrowed or stole from taxpayers to pay bonuses to top Wall Street executives. Obama promises change, yet it appears the old adage that the more things change, the more things remain the same holds true yet again.
