Malema loses it

Ranting Malema rails at BBC reporter, the media and the world <a href="http://www.timeslive.co.za/">www.timeslive.co.za</a> Malema outdid himself when he lost his cool with reporters, praised Zimbabwe's controversial reserve bank governor and suggested that he might have to go into "exile" so that he could freely sing his "shoot the boer" song.<a href="http://multimedia.timeslive.co.za/videos/2010/04/malema-kicks-out-a-bbc-journalist/">CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO </a> <object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/pcmqX6klUJY&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_GB&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/pcmqX6klUJY&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_GB&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> <object height="385" width="640"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Wlh_HF2Y8E&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-Wlh_HF2Y8E&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en_US&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> Malema had invited journalists to the ruling party's Luthuli House headquarters, in Johannesburg, to brief them about his recent visit to Zimbabwe, where he studied that country's nationalisation and land redistribution programmes. But when a BBC journalist, Jonah Fisher, interrupted Malema during his briefing, the youth league president lost his temper and called the reporter a "bastard" and a "bloody agent" with 'that white tendency'. What irked Malema was Fisher's comment that Malema should not criticise Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's opponents for operating from "air-conditioned offices" in Sandton because the youth league leader himself lives in the area. "Let me tell you before you are tjatjarag [excited]," a fuming Malema said while wagging his finger at the BBC reporter. "This is a building of a revolutionary party and you know nothing about the revolution. So here you behave or else you jump." Amazed by Malema's response, Fisher laughed. "Don't laugh," warned Malema. "Chief, can you get security to remove this thingy? "If you are not going to behave, we are going to get security to take you out. "This is not a newsroom, this. This is a revolutionary house and you don't come here with that white tendency, not here. You can do it somewhere else, not here. "If you have got a tendency of undermining blacks, even where you work, you are in the wrong place. Here you are in the wrong place." An angry Fisher retorted: "But that's rubbish." Malema responded: "You can go out. Rubbish is what you have covered in that trouser - that is the rubbish. You are a small boy, you can't do anything. Go out. Bastard! Go out! You bloody agent!" As Fisher walked out, Malema turned his fury on the rest of the reporters in the room. "It's not a beer hall here. It's not a drunk beer hall, cheap beer hall, this. And you ask anybody, including political parties, which tried to undermine this house, what happened to them. "You can undermine all of us, but not the house. Never undermine the house. When you are here, you are in a different terrain. You are in our space and you are going to behave in a manner that is befitting of being in the ANC office. "You don't howl here, especially when we speak, and you behave like you are in an American press conference? This is not America, it's Africa," he shouted. He then accused South African journalists of writing "insulting" stories about him and the youth league. "We don't have a problem with that and we have accepted that you are abusing that space [and] you are abusing us in that space. "[But] you don't come and abuse us in our own space, in our own house. This is my house and you will behave according to the rules of my house. We are not forcing anybody to be here. If you feel you are offended by the removal of this gentleman, you are most welcome to walk; you are free to go. "We don't force anybody to come here. We would be worried if the SABC doesn't come, but the rest of you, to be honest, we really don't care. SABC is our own, but the rest, it's okay whether you come or don't come. We don't have a problem." But Malema was not done. He then dared those reporters who sympathised with Fisher to walk out of the press conference. "Let's not push each other to a point where we will have to engage each other differently because we are not going to be undermined by young boys, and then we say 'No, we need to restrain ourselves'." The reporters stayed to hear Malema rave about his trip to Zimbabwe and his visit to a farm owned by that country's reserve bank governor, Gideon Gono, the man many accuse of having played a leading role in bringing the country's economy to its knees. Gono is currently at the centre of a dispute between Mugabe and Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's MDC. Tsvangirai wants Gono removed from the post, as agreed by both parties when they formed the unity government in 2008. President Jacob Zuma, who is mediating in the talks between Mugabe and Tsvangirai, recently met Gono in an attempt to persuade him to step down. But according to Malema yesterday, Gono is Zimbabwe's model citizen. "The agricultural genius shown by Gono is an inspiration, not only to the youth of Zimbabwe but to the entire southern African youth," Malema said. The youth league president begrudgingly accepted the ANC's temporary ban on the singing of struggle songs with the words "shoot the boer" but insisted that nothing stopped him from belting them out when abroad. "If the song is banned here, we respect that. But we will continue to sing it in full outside South Africa. This song is now in exile. It will be powerful outside this country. "It is a sad day for the ANC when our songs, which were banned during apartheid days, are now banned when we are in democracy," he said. On the death of AWB leader Eugene Terre Blanche, Malema said: "When his horse decided to kick him, I was not there, I was not singing the song. Because if I was singing the song, you will say his horse kicked him because of the song. "This man has been a distaste to the people he lived with, including animals. The horse itself would not have tolerated him, so why do you want to attribute his death to me or to the youth league? It's not our responsibility. He should have known better. This is a lesson to all people in South Africa that let's all treat each other with respect and follow the labour laws - black or white." CensorshipMalema's attack on the BBC reporter amounted to censorship, the SA National Editors' Forum (Sanef) said on Thursday. 'Malema Share's character flaws of Mugabe' The Democratic Alliance spokesman on rural development, Mpowele Swathe, said each time Malema "open[s] his mouth, he does damage to our prospects of attracting foreign investment, developing our economy and addressing inequality and poverty." He was referring to comments Malema made at the briefing hailing Zimbabwe's land reform program. "His praise for Zanu-PF land invasions, his assault on the Movement for Democratic Change, his assault on our own Constitution and the fact that he threw a journalist out of his press conference for asking perfectly legitimate questions, demonstrates with painstaking clarity that he shares the same deeply flawed and manifestly dangerous characteristics as Robert Mugabe."

Civilised vs uncivilised

ANC violence in South Africa - Adult content! Not for sensitive viewers! This was taken around 80's or 90's by a Dutch film crew. I was a 'white' soldier which was part of 80 soldiers sent into dangerous places to keep peace just before 1994. I saw victims of these on a daily basis. The international media only showed one side of a story which made you think all whites were bad. It was the contrary. Like any country, police force's or armies in the world had your bad individuals. It is estimated that 3000 people died with the necklace murders. Do a google search on what a necklace murder is. This murder word, necklacing, was coined by Winnie Mandela herself. In some cases the victims were forced to drink diesel or petrol and even their hands and feet were cut off so they could not run away. The ANC used this uncivilised method, including killing civilians and children. <object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sf39waktLVQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Sf39waktLVQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

The new voice of the White African

Bok van Blerk probably became most famous for his international hit 'Delarey'. The song brought together the Afrikaans community and celebrated its wonderful culture but also history, and at the end that Afrikaans is something to be immensely proud of, which it most certainly is. Most recently Bok has taken this step further, writing a song 'Kaplyn' commemorating and thanking the brave men whom served on the Border. And now, his song 'Tyd om te trek' (time to move on). When I watch this, I can't stop to feel how the countless thousands of White Africans endured this very same event, and to this day this is still occurring. Not only is this video fantastically filmed, but it really does bring out the REAL events of Africa...the one where journalists are too cowardly to portray. While watching this, remember that this is the reality of the White African, just a cleaner version. <object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ljTROelBiA8&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ljTROelBiA8&color1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_embedded&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

A Warning for America from South Africa

Suggesting that ‘white’ people could possibly be on the receiving end of discrimination, hate, torture and even murder by people of ‘color’ is sure to bring out the negative comments. But this is something you must read about AND something you must see. I have included a video that will give you an idea of what is going on. I urge you to watch it. I hope that you will be informed, educated a little bit, and challenged to find out more. As one person put it: People used to say that South Africa was 20 years behind the rest of the Western world. [snip] Today, however, South Africa may be the grim model of the future Western world, for events in America reveal trends chillingly similar to those that destroyed our country. <object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OwISys35y0s&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OwISys35y0s&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> Here's the warning, read and be aware: What will happen is that Western structures in America will be either destroyed from without, or transformed from within, … Once power is in the hands of aliens, don’t expect loyalty or devotion to principle from those whose jobs are at stake.Once you lose social, cultural, and political dominance, there is no getting it back again. Unfortunately, your habits and values work against you. You cannot fight terror and street mobs with letters to your Congressmen. You cannot fight accusations of racism with prayer meetings. You cannot appeal to the goodness of your fellow man when the fellow man despises you for your weaknesses and hacks off the arms and legs of his political opponents. … … Above all, don’t put yourselves to the test of fighting only when your backs are against the wall. You will probably fail. Millions around the world want your good life. But make no mistake: They care not for the high-minded ideals of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, and your Constitution. … And they already know that their allies among you, the “human rights activists,” the skillful lawyers and the left-wing politicians will fight for them, and not for you. They will exploit your compassion and your Christian charity, and your good will. They have studied you, Mr. and Mrs. America, and they know your weaknesses well. They know what to do. Do you?

Murder in South Africa

Most of South Africa's remaining commercial farmers are being driven off their land by a combination of ANC-landrights laws and the armed attacks on farmers, in which some 3,000 farmers have been murdered, since the ANC came to power. Already the country has no agricultural land left in the legal sense -- since all agricultural land now falls under the jurisdiction of municipal boundaries countrywide. In 1994 when SA still exported agricultural products on a massive scale, it had 85,000 farmers using less than 7% of the total land surface. At the moment, less than 10,000 commercial farmers remain, raising crops on less than 0.75% of the total land surface. The country is now facing serious food shortages for the first time in its entire recorded agricultural history since the mid-1600's. WARNING Graphic pictures of farm murders in South Africa ~ some of the people mentioned in this video were blind, the oldest was a woman of 93, the youngest a baby of 6 months. <object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/06Twyq8s2po"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/06Twyq8s2po" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> South Africa's farmers and their families live in a constant state of siege... some 3,000 agriculturalists, their workers and kin have been killed since 1994 on SA farms -- yet they are the country's food-producers: producing 85% of all of SA maize crops to feed its 47-million citizens and 5-million refugees... . While US secretary of state Condoleeza Rice is urging people to grow more crops, South Africans are murdering their farmers instead. With only 10,000 commercial farmers remaining to raise excess-food on only 0,75% of South Africa's TOTAL land for growing commercial crops, (CIA stats) South Africa is now facing chronic famine conditions... <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFKnpVuePcHhjKWkviN95ZOoZlyhKHsKGg912VzltXpg2_R-7spDxn_sbM-Cj5DGBJjEfI8RT-rdCtunimVWsGS7RCtkFT6jjAmeEbWT9DVyK-cXiSJl3wNk6v46DkM_vLay_F2P6FrYFy/s1600-h/cradle+of+mankind.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5209292881869636834" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFKnpVuePcHhjKWkviN95ZOoZlyhKHsKGg912VzltXpg2_R-7spDxn_sbM-Cj5DGBJjEfI8RT-rdCtunimVWsGS7RCtkFT6jjAmeEbWT9DVyK-cXiSJl3wNk6v46DkM_vLay_F2P6FrYFy/s400/cradle+of+mankind.jpg" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" /></a>This map of the Johannesburg region shows the number of armed attacks against residents of agricultural holdings around greater-Johannesburg thus far this year. In the "Cradle-of-Mankind" valley around Kromdraai alone, 89 farm attacks and 140+ break-ins have occurred this year, which were never reported to the news media. An average of 32,000 violent deaths a year are officially recorded in South Africa - but the government severely censors crime statistics -- and the actual death rate could be twice the annual 32,000 recorded average. The most-at-risk-of-murder group in the entire world are South African land owners, who are being slaughtered, often after several hours of cruel torture, at the rate of 313 per 100,000 - four times the national average for other minorities and 100% more than the death rate in warzone Iraq. South Africa's citizens are living in a secret, undeclared war - especially its privately-owned agricultural sector is being terrorised out of existence. South Africa has the highest recorded per capita murder rate in the world, whites, in particular, are being culled like springbok in a hunting safari. More people are murdered in one week under African rule than did die violently over roughly four decades of Afrikaner governance. South Africa is now as violent as Iraq, Liberia, or the Congo. So violent is the “free” South Africa that, for a period, the freewheeling African National Congress government imposed an official blackout on national crime statistics. It now releases them once yearly. The SA Police Crime Statistics - recently updated to March 2007 on their website: The rest of this horror story can be read on these official statistics Click here for the Police stats in PDF format: <a href="http://www.saps.gov.za/statistics/reports/crimestats/2007/_pdf/rsa_total.pdf">http://www.saps.gov.za/statistics/reports/cri...</a> NOTE: They hide the actual murders by splitting them into different categories - they show total murders, plus... way down the list they show the culpible homicides When taken together, the official number is huge - over 32,000 murders per annum. The USA by comparison, with 6 times our population, only has 16,000 murders per annum. As ghastly as the official figures are, they’re most probably doctored. Interpol have South African murder statistics that are roughly double the official South African state statistics, while the South African Medical Research Council claims there are approximately a third more murders in South Africa than the official police statistics reveal. Genocide - "Us And Them" <object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/VAIXhk7wVZY&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/VAIXhk7wVZY&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Dr. Gregory H. Stanton heads Genocide Watch. He says the slaughter of some 3000 Boers is genocide. The rates at which the farmers are being eliminated, the torture and dehumanization involved—all point to systematic extermination. “Genocide is always organized, usually by the state,” Stanton has written on Genocide Watch’s website. Indeed, according to Sky News, the farmers believe “these attacks are an orchestrated, government sanctioned attempt to purge South Africa of white land owners, as has already happened in Zimbabwe.” That certainly would explain why the ANC plans to dismantle the Commando System, a private Afrikaner militia that has existed since the 1770s, and is the only defense at the farmers’ disposal. More damning—and contrary to the pro-forma denials issued by the ANC’s oleaginous officials—The Daily Mail reported in February 2006, that the government is dead-set-on forcibly seizing the land of thousands of farmers. By the year 2014, a third of the Boers’ property will have been given to blacks. S.African Farm Murders: Who is actually behind them? Here is another piece of hard evidence uncovered concerning Farm Murders and what was told by someone senior in one of the few remaining Commando Units (volunteer groups who protect the rural areas). He said there is talk about "communism" being behind the farm murders. There is also a whole "underground crime organisation" that may be linked to farm murders and all these things may work together. However, he said there is "talk" that three particular people connected to the ANC are actually the driving force behind the farm murders. The three names the informant said he has heard people talk of are:- 1. Jacob Zuma (former Deputy President that Mbeki fired but whom the commies love and who will try to stand for President in 2009). 2. Jackie Selebi - the man who heads our national Police force. (In recent months the Mass Media has been bringing up hard evidence showing Jackie Selebi's connections to organised crime). 3. Mosiuoa 'Terror' Lekota - the Minister of Defense here in S.Africa. (Interestingly, shortly before his death P.W. Botha also mentioned that he thinks Lekota is a very dangerous man. He did not elaborate on what made him think that. The media love him, but PW had another view of him).

Prosperi. It shows like no other documentary what blacks are capable of if they get the chance. It is a masterpiece with beautiful music, composed by the Italian composer Riz Ortolani. Probably 'Africa Addio' is the best and most exposing documentary ever made about what happened in several African countries directly after decolonization, but because of political correctness the masses never heard of it. In the USA a censored version called 'Africa Blood and Guts' was released, which was deliberately stripped from the original music and the powerful message of 'Africa Addio' - so the censors were able to portray the destruction, cruelty, savagery and genocide performed by the Africans as a 'struggle for independence'. The directors Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco E. Prosperi dissociated themselves from this Hollywood (per)version of their film.

The end result of this decades long assault against white racism has been to end its alliance with law, and to turn most whites into anti-racists who build bridges to those who are people of colour. Yet at the same time rising black racism has been ignored, or rationalized by those saying, “Black people cannot be racists: They lack the institutional power.” This notion flies in the face of the reality that thousands of blacks in this country have considerable power in the government and business. It also flies in the face of the reality that many countries in Africa, such as the Republic of South Africa, are ruled by black majorities many of whom practice a new form of racism where black racists prey on white victims.

ANC’s failed policies

This report includes graphic content. Viewer discretion is advised. <object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/w61uQTBYQA8&hl=en"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/w61uQTBYQA8&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> What caused the terrible scenes unfolding in South Africa today: children beaten and displaced, women raped and men left with pieces of flesh hanging from their faces, homeless and hungry and desperate?What led to a situation where young men were unashamed to stand in front of television cameras and say they will kill foreigners?We should not be surprised. For the ANC, led by Zuma and Mbeki, the chickens are coming home to roost.A cocktail of factors, mixed by the ANC over the past 10 years, is responsible for the barbarism.These people are behaving like barbarians because the ANC has failed — despite numerous warnings — to act on burning issues that are well known for having sparked similar eruptions across the globe.This cocktail is made up of stubborn denialism on Zimbabwe, an increasingly incompetent and corrupt police service, poor service delivery and corruption in government departments.The crime-does-pay culture fostered by the ANC — criminals such as the Travelgate fraudsters walk away scot-free — is a central ingredient of the cocktail.But the bulk of the cocktail comprises the failed state that is Zimbabwe. The country’s economy has collapsed. Its political leaders, security services and agents are looting the treasury. Zimbabweans are fleeing.When a state fails, crime goes through the roof. Corruption, characterised by bribery at every turn, becomes the norm. Crucially, crime is exported across the borders of the failed state to neighbouring states.The Mbeki government’s refusal to even acknowledge the crisis in Zimbabwe has resulted in as many as 3-million Zimbabweans walking the streets of South Africa.If Mbeki and his deputy president, Zuma, had acted decisively on Zimbabwe nine years ago, when they were told repeatedly by fellow leaders at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Durban to do so, these Zimbabweans would not be here today.Mbeki’s resolute refusal to address the crisis in Zimbabwe — and his friendship with President Robert Mugabe — has brought them here. His block-headedness is directly responsible for the eruption of xenophobia.Add to the cocktail the fact that the SA Police Service has become so incompetent and overstretched there is no way that any of the perpetrators of the past week’s atrocities will be brought to book.Ordinary citizens predicted last week that these riots would spread to the Joburg CBD. When violence erupted downtown on Saturday night, the police were unprepared.The police have no intelligence- gathering capacity and can hardly explain what is happening today, let alone contain it.Their failure is rooted in the fact that many of them are taking bribes from foreign refugees anxious to avoid being deported.Their incompetence is also responsible for the culture — entrenched during the Mbeki-Zuma regime — that crime goes unpunished. After all, these marauding hordes know that Mbeki protected his crony, Jackie Selebi, for years.There is no respect for the law. These hordes can rape and loot without fear of arrest, let alone prosecution.The endemic corruption among government officials is an integral part of the cocktail. There is so much corruption in the construction and allocation of government housing that resentment, misplaced or not, is inevitable.There are no quick fixes to this mess. The removal of Mbeki, as suggested by Mathews Phosa, is not a solution. The problem is that the ANC’s policies have failed.In the short term it would be an idea for the incompetent minister of safety and security, Charles Nqakula, to get his charges to come down harder on perpetrators. Better intelligence-gathering, including the early identification of potential trouble-makers, would help.Government leaders such as Mbeki should visit the communities afflicted by this xenophobia, instead of issuing condemnations from Mozambique.In the long term, some cool heads, efficiency and moral fibre would help. But asking that of the ANC today is asking a little bit too much. These are the same people who are disbanding the Scorpions. Asking them to act in the interests of the country, and not their own narrow interests, is useless.

Africa's Internet drought

This Map illustrates the fragile and spotty nature of Africa’s "Internet Weather" -- or "teledensity" as tracked by Internet monitoring technology. Researchers at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, tracked Internet connectivity at points in more than 40 African countries, whose populations make up more than 80 percent of the continent's inhabitants. Their findings (pdf) are sad, though not surprising: "Africa's network performance is over 10 years behind that of Europe and the U.S. and falling further behind," and among African countries "performances in developing regions are a factor of 5-20 times worse than that in developed regions."

Execution by Necklacing

*WARNING GRAPHIC* During Nelson Mandela's trial, they found a document wherein he had said that some hideous punishment must be found for "traitors" (i.e. Blacks who actually support, work with and are friendly to Whites). In this document, Nelson Mandela suggested - cutting off their noses. Years later, his wife, Winnie Mandela, publicised the idea of "necklacing" the traitors. For non-South African readers: the "necklace" was a method of execution used by the ANC 'liberation army guerillas" whereby black 'sellouts to apartheid" were cruelly torched to death with petrol-filled tyre placed around their necks. Some 400 people were burnt alive by this ANC-horror execution. Now you know if anyone ever offers you a necklacing, you should probably say no. Horrible. <object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/69QsiRBGc6Q"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/69QsiRBGc6Q" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
