Yeah, those Apartheid-missing prudes at Solidarity seem to be on an intense campaign to support violence and rape against woman and children. It’s a well known fact to anyone with a basic education, that you can see a correlation between rape and porn, however, its only those with a higher education that can that the correlation is that the more porn there is, the less sexual violence there is.

The good nats at Solidarity have taken us another step backwards towards Apartheid as they push their Calvinistic religious prudency onto the rest of the population. Im guessing all members who were against the MultiChoice DSTV porn channel must be hectic porn addicts as well. I mean… if it’s a matter of just not wanting to watch the porn… you wouldn’t watch ... or subscribe to the service. Since these “people” have such an issue with the porn channel I can only assume that they are sexual addicts and would not be able to control their own urges to not watch the porn.

After this religious fanatical crusade by Solidarity I have lost all respect for them and their causes. I cant trust anything that they say and do after their latest attempt to pervert freedom of expression and choice and their blatant promotion of sexual violence and rape against woman and kids.
Its very clear that Solidarity is still stuck in the 1980`s and so desperately wants to claw us back to a time period where our porn magazines had more stars than the Milky Way.

Just so you know I am not talking crap and they are, here are a couple of links to educate you:

To the people at Solidarity, please stop taking us back towards Apartheid and their fked up morality. Its twisted and wrong. If you do not like porn.. dont watch it? Yeah.. it really is that easy, and to make things even easier.. dont subscribe to it! Stop taking away other peoples rights and freedoms for your religious hangups.

UPDATE: There are lots of angry people all over the Internet that are really angry at those people with religious hangups (a very vocal and rancid minority known as "Helping Hand"... a religious cartel that is involved with Solidarity) and their subversion of our rights.

In response to the attack on our freedoms and choices many people online have started their own petition. To remove religious programming from DSTV. I ask all readers and members of this site please to voice your opinion at the following petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/sdr00001/petition.html to get all religious programming removed from DSTV.

It is well known fact that religion has killed, maimed and destroyed more peoples lives than porn ever could.

You can say a lot of good and bad things about Russia... some good things about its people and history.. mostly bad things about its leaders. One thing that has always fascinated me is propaganda. I love looking at all sides... looking at how they craft their stories and news sources and comparing the data.

So today I am browsing pravada.ru. One of Russia`s largest online news sources. Call it their version of CNN or something. When you browse the website you instantly see the influence of the Russian government in their news media. Let me give you a couple of examples.

Right off the the bat you notice theres something different about this "news source"... firstly... its the first online newspaper that seems to advertise and be a show point for military weapons. Its a lot like reading a Military website.. infused with People magazine.

On this English translation I find three examples of Russian penis comparison :
http://english.pravda.ru/russia/kremlin/11-08-2009/108764-russia_ukraine-0

I cant ever remember reading CNN or BBC and see`ing so many examples of trying to show off its (rather carp) military weapons.

The next thing you will notice are several very beautiful mostly Russian woman in almost no clothing. Hmmm.. weapons and woman... now dont get me wrong, I as much as the next chap enjoy looking and learning about both.. but not really from my daily newspaper.

So I follow the link in the URL I mentioned earlier and I moved onto another Russian "news" website.. called "MoscowTopNews".... and guess what.. theres ever more weapons and even more scantly clad woman.

http://www.moscowtopnews.com/?area=postView&id=922
I guess missile envy does come from being small ;)

Okay, laughable content aside.. just read the news articles. They are so badly written I think someone in Moscow just pushed them through Google Translate and hoped for the best.

What I find more interesting is how the articles are worded and the general nature of the articles. They all appear to attack anyone who disagrees with the Kremlin on several different levels. They all seem extremely polarized as well! Bugger ANY kind of objective journalism or even an attempt at objective journalism. You can see they are concentrated media campaigns against whoever has their goat at the moment.

If its about Ukraine, Georgia, Estonia, America, Britain, Poland or any one of several other countries... basically just about every single article will be in some way defamatory of their targets. Theres basically no neutral news or positive news of those countries whatsoever (though I am not including the sports or weather sections).

I wont lie.. browsing through their science section is the funniest thing ever. I honestly for the light of me.. dont know if they are being serious, stupid or having fun there... but at the very least its a joke at the worst.. its still a joke.

A "science photo" http://english.pravda.ru/photo/report/muzei-966/

What I do notice is the same adverts, same stories and same spelling mistakes across several of their websites.

For instance, both pravada and moscowtopnews point (with an advert stating "Russia designs new destructive weapon") to the same "Georgian Times" websites. Which is basically a Russian made website pretending to be Georgian... and basically ragging Georgia but supporting the illegal countries of South Ossetia and Abkhazia (the parts of Georgia Russia recently conquered).

Its absolutely an amazing journey reading through Russian news. However.. even though its all very entertaining to read and follow I just cant get around at how stupid their propaganda machine is. Its so obvious and so dumb I really cant understand how Russian Intelligence could be so thick. Its like 0 thought actually when into presentation and trying to cover their dishonesty.

Anyone with half a brain can see that is government controlled hate and news speech.

Sure, we might be constantly subjected to all kinds of propaganda from different directions, but Russia takes the Crayon Cake when it comes to child like attempt at media control.

My advice to Putins rather backwards FSB.. hire someone with some kinda media intelligence folks. My personal advice to you on how to spin a story would be to hire one of the many "sell-my-ma" lawyer companies out there (like Schillings Lawyers). You clearly have no clue how to do the job so you really need to get this sorted if anyone is going to take you seriously.

Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri, infamously known as Poison Ivy died on Monday 6th of April 2009. I tried to think of some nice things to say about her, but every time I still think of her my blood boils.

Her stupidity, her greed, her selling out to the corporations to make herself fatter will not be forgotten. Her wealth came at the expense of the blood of South Africans. I know one should traditionally be respectful of the dead, but how is one respectful to someone who exploited and raped a countries communications industry?

We can only hope that the dark age of South African telecommunications is over with the passing away of Poison Ivy. There is an excited buzz of elation and expectation with this change and South Africans are starting to get excited about the future.

Let history not forget her crimes against the people.

In this post, I am responding to a rather disgusting piece of "journalism" that I read today in the Zimbabwe Herald (Mugabe`s state run newspaper). I have put all Timothy's passages in block quotes, and my responses follow each of his comments. The link to the original article can be found at the end of this post.

Zim ‘crisis’ removed from reality

By Timothy Kalyegira

AS I focus these days on the dark deception at the international level, we turn today to the most extreme example: Zimbabwe. I have followed world media reports extensively but there is something I have not once heard asked or discussed: Why is Zimbabwe, once one of Africa’s most promising countries, where it is today? Or more pointedly, why is Zimbabwe reported and portrayed to be where it is today?

Simply put, because of the greed and evil of Robert Mugabe and his ZANU-PF cronies. Those sick sick people have destroyed the lives of millions and in my honest and humble opinion, I believe that every single one of them should be shot.

Let us start off by readily agreeing that President Robert Mugabe is an authoritarian leader, a tendency for which he is, needless to say, not alone in Africa.

Hang on there Timothy, yes, Robert Mugabe is an authoritarian leaders... that tends to come with course when one is a kleptocrat totalitarian dictator who has massacred hundreds of thousands of his countries people. A little conservative with that description there would you not say?

Having said that, everything else simply does not add up. Let us look at various inflation rates. Iraq for 2007: 64,80 percent; Afghanistan for 2007: 16,30 percent, according to the CIA World Factbook. The DR Congo for 2006: 14,4 percent; another African country in chaos, Burundi for 2006: 11 percent.

Then, a Voice of America radio broadcast on April 1, 2008 said: "In Somalia, continuing insecurity, a surge in food and fuel prices, and uncontrolled printing of money have created runaway inflation that is threatening the lives of millions already suffering from 18 years of war and lawlessness." What, then, is Somalia’s runaway rate of inflation after "18 years of war and lawlessness"? "Over 100 percent", according to the website indexmundi.com.

We have taken a look at a cross-section of some of the world’s most unstable countries: Iraq, Somalia, Afghanistan, Burundi, the DR Congo and the figures for inflation we see are 14, 11, 64, 100 percent and so forth. Let us turn now to the world record holder, Zimbabwe. As of March 2008, the country’s inflation rate stood at 165 000 percent.

Zimbabwe has not had a single military coup since independence in 1980. No civil war, no war with any of its neighbours, no major drought or famine, no earthquake, no volcanic eruption and no floods caused by extreme rainfall, no locust invasion.

Furthermore, Zimbabwe has been ruled by a Zanu-PF Government from 1980-2008, by the same Prime Minister and later President Mugabe, pursuing the same economic policies, with the same management or mismanagement style.

I really hope there was a gun to your head when you wrote this... because you yourself point out the common factor for this devastation. As you rightly point out... countries like Somalia, Iraq and other war torn bloody parts of the world have lower inflation rates.

You do know what this means right? That Robert Mugabe and his evil country rapers have had a more devastating effect on Zimbabwe than white racism (Smith), war, famine, earth quakes, volcano's, floods, droughts and those locusts you mention.

This is a very very clear indication as to how terribly bad ZANU-PF has being to humanity.

Before the Mugabe Government started uprooting the white farmers in 2000, this Government kept inflation at 5 percent, 8 percent (or 11 percent in difficult years.) How, then, does a country with all the same factors and leaders from 1980 to 2000 suddenly (because the white commercial farmers have been uprooted) see inflation soar to world record levels in a space of just six years starting in 2000? And how is it that a stable Zimbabwe has an inflation rate 1 500 times higher than Somalia, a country without a government since 1991? Does any of this make sense?

Yes, complete sense. ZANU-PF totally destroyed the Zimbabwe economic base (white farmers who where working hard to supply themselves and the rest of the country) and plunged the country that was already suffering the tyranny of Robert Mugabe into a financial abyss. That what happens when you have syphilis infected leaders in command.

Away from abstract figures, the evidence before our ordinary eyes is even more puzzling. If you have watched news video footage on BBC TV, CNN, and other Western TV networks, without exception, you will no doubt have noticed that the streets of the capital Harare are far cleaner and better maintained than those in Kampala, even during the week that Uganda hosted the Commonwealth summit last November.

And this has what to do with the price of oranges? Clearly you must be more focused on clean street rather than basic human rights.

Have you seen any beggars on Harare’s streets? Have you taken the time to notice clean and well-painted Government buildings in Harare?

I notice that ZANU-PF and its ilk killed, rounded up, detained, harassed or attacked the beggars. That works I hear.. but then so did Apartheid. Both where really stupid ideas. This isnt a point at all Timothy.

During the recent presidential campaign rallies, you might have noticed that both the supporters of President Mugabe and the opposition were generally well-dressed, looked and acted cheerful. Nobody wore rags or went about barefooted.

Not from the footage I see. Oh wait, I live in South Africa, where we have this thing called "human rights", and we look after our people (and half of Zimbabwe who have fled here to escape the slaughter in Zimbabwe). From our perspective, all we saw where lots of really stressed unhappy people in long lines doing their best to get rid of the sickness of Zimbabwe (Robert Mugabe)

In 2003 and 2007, South Africa’s subscription TV channel M-Net sponsored the Big Brother Africa reality television show. In both competitions, Zimbabwe had representatives resident in Harare, Tapuwa Mhere in 2003 and Bertha Zakeyo in 2007. You saw them confident, relaxed girls, not thin beggarly girls who had not had proper meals in years.

Yay, so you have some people who are not starving. Dude, seriously.. this also it not a point. Quoting MultiChoice`s Big Brother as a source for trying to present a picture of a good Zimbabwe is really clutching at straws. You are desperate in your writing.

More importantly, for M-Net to still have an office in Zimbabwe where viewing is by paid-up subscription, presupposes that there are enough Zimbabweans with money to afford the luxury of pay TV, despite the 100 000+ inflation rate.

Yeah, and you can find them all in the local ZANU-PF offices. Must be interesting to be in that political party. You kill and torture innocents and get free DSTV!

With that kind of inflation, you don’t have the extra money for luxuries like DSTV.

Again, not unless you are part of the 1% ruling cast thats oppressing the other 99%. I mean, with South Africa`s inflation I cant afford that 10 million Rand (not zim dollars) yacht... but if you go to our harbours you will be able to see them. Even a four year old child can see you are pulling at straws now.

So how come, for all this obvious evidence, nobody has asked the simple question: is this Zimbabwe story real or an orchestrated series of events by the British and American governments and media to punish Mugabe for humiliating the white settlers in Zimbabwe? It leads us to ask the auxillary question: might all these supposedly impressive economic growth, dropping HIV infection, and inflation rates in Uganda under President Yoweri Museveni have, after all, been falsified, as have all the election results of 1996, 2001 and 2006?

You sir, are a sick and fked up racist. You and your scum will soon be removed, and I really hope, you and everyone involved with what you have done to the people of Zimbabwe are held accountable. Blame the whites... for fks sakes man.. cant you even be original?! Syphilis infected Robert Mugabe has being blaming the whites since he killed 200 000 matabele back in the day.

Im not really the violent kinda chap, but humanities gene pool will be much more cleaner after those in ZANU-PF and untruthful propagandists like you are removed.

Wanna know whats totally destroyed Zimbabwe? PEOPLE LIKE YOU. PEOPLE LIKE MUGABE. Disgusting evil corrupt thieves and country rapists EXACTLY like you. The single biggest problem to Africa is its kleptocrats. Greed mate... greed, greed, greed, and not giving a hoot about the value of a human life. No single raindrop believes it is guilty for the flood.

Why do we consistently read about impressive growth and achievement figures under Museveni’s rule, and yet most of us feel and know that we are well worse off today than 22 years ago?

To be honest, I know nothing about Uganda.. though after reading this I will go read, but by siding in the slightest with the ZANU-PF side and trying to make out the slaughter in Zimbabwe is somehow related to some kind of black vs white thing.. I find your writings sick, ill informed, naive, all round wrong and a mostly lies used to build a strawman argument. You are guilty of evil.

Original Article: http://www.herald.co.zw/inside.aspx?sectid=34128&cat=10

I was going to start this post off with a lot of cussing and anger, but after a cup of tea and a moment of reflection I have decided to go with just the anger.

My reasons why China is evil:

- It has amongst the worst cases of human rights abuses in the world
- Its citizens are kept in a state of political fear with political prison camps for anyone who may have an opposing view to the Chinese government
- Its population is HEAVILY censored
- We all know about Tibet
- We all know that the Burma situation is allowed to happen because of its Chinese support.
- We all know that the genocide in Sudan is only able to happen because of all the chinese sponsored weapons (being sold for oil... they make the Americans look like peaceful hippies)
- And now... Southern Africa is going to be experiencing another genocide (the last one took place when Robert Mugabe killed 200 000 matabele... and blamed the Apartheid white government... and the world lapped it up)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/18/wzim218.xml

Yup, another genocide is going to happen, and the thing that makes me so angry.. is the world is going to let is happen. Right now.. weapons are on their way to Robert Mugabe to help him kill more people. Right now the world knows (the people who need to know).. know that this is going to happen.. and once again.. as in Sudan, as in Burma, as in Tibet... the world are going to collectively sit on their fat bums and do nothing about it (except perhaps send a strong worded letter of dissatisfaction to the Chinese government).

Our governments are failing us. It seems all politics is corrupt and all the peoples of the world are suffering from this sickness of apathy. I honestly dont know how people can live with themselves by not acting on these horrors.

Just remember the next time you buy something that says, "Made in China". Know that is was built with blood and that you are guilty of supporting the worlds most evil country and the actions it commits... simply by purchasing a single product made in China. Though.. I doubt most of the people out there even care.

What makes this whole matter worse, is our wonderful ANC led government are supporting the sale of arms to Zimbabwe, and are not doing a single thing to hinder the process.

I am shamed many times over. I am ashamed to be a South African and for allowing so many Zimbabweans to die and I am ashamed to be a member of the human race. Even most of the "good" people in this world.. are evil.. as they allow evil to happen.

"Evil can only happen when good men stand by and do nothing".. and in the case of the rest of the world.. this is exactly what is happening.

I wish there was some army or something I could join to fight China, Zimbabwes ZANUPF and South Africa's corrupt ANC (I swear, you would think Mugabe and Mbeki are having sexual relations when you look at how far Mbeki is up Mugabe's ass).

Am I wrong to be so angry?

This vulnerability is valid as of 3/4/2008 (Lets see how long it takes them to fix this very serious issue.

Since my last article I wrote about Russia and its president Putin, things have evolved much further and I have more perspective on why Putin and Russia are behaving like the school yard bullies again. I wanted to write this article about some of the insidious actives Russia has being up to in the last couple of years and how it is abusing its power, but as I learnt more, and as I learnt the politics of each independent state bordering Russia I realised how big and complex the issue is, so I will do my best to condense the information into a useful summary and back story of some of the events.

When Putin came to power, he was young, energetic, strong and sober... (all things Yeltsin was not), Putin not only promised democracy but also strength, and that's what millions of Russians longed for after the chaos of the Yeltsin years. At first almost everyone was happy with this. The Russians had a strong leader that was going to change and modernize their country and the West were happier with a united Russia rather than a divided one (simply because of Russia's immense nuclear stockpile).

However, events where set into motion when a group Islamic religious fanatics attacked the United States by flying passenger aircraft into the Twin Towers in New York on 9/11. Russia's President Putin was the first head of state to contact the United States and President Bush to offer both the condolences of Russia and any support Russia could offer... including allowing forward military bases in central Asia states.

Putin thought that by showing his support, and offering out an olive branch, the United States and NATO would understand the integral border problems it was having with its own religious separatist conflict in Chechnya, and together they would fight Islamic religious extremism. Working along side America and the European Union on such a project with benefit all involved.

Bush took Putin's offer and set up more military bases in central Asia, which in turn angered a lot of powerful Russian leaders who were also concerned about the expansion of Russia's long time nemesis... NATO. In 2002 seven more nations were invited to join and Bush had to fly to St Petersburg to try calm down an agitated Putin. Russian-American relations took a dramatic turn for the worse when Bush ordered the attack on Iraq against the Kremlin's requests.

The United States and European countries were also involved in financing a lot pro-democratic reformation movements in the former Soviet states. These were called to the Color Revolutions and lead to democratic revolutions over autocratic authorising rule such as Ukrainian Orange Revolution and the Georgian Rose Revolution. In all these revolutions the people of those countries spoke and ousted their corrupt pro-Russian leaders for more transparent pro-West democratic leaders as the people of each country took control and responsibility for their futures.

Increasingly Putin felt like a jilted bride with Bush making small concessions while he was at the same time expanding NATO influence over countries that Russia still regarded as its own charges. Russia also considered the eastern expansion of NATO to be in contradiction of an earlier NATO/Soviet Union agreement for NATO not to expand eastwards. To add to this was the fear within Russia's ruling party that pro-west influence may spread into Russia itself, and the FSB (the new KGB) were quick to stamp out the flames of dissent within its own borders so that Russian leaders would not lose control of Russia like what had happened in the Ukrainian Orange Revolution.

In process to wipe out political pro-west opposition from with Russia, Putin moved forward and took control of Russia's Gazprom and its other large corporations and in turn was able to use these companies to further what his future political ambitions. Over half of Gazprom's shares are now owned by the state and its Chairman Demetri Medvedev will be Russia's next president (at the time of writing this article, Russia's 2008 elections are underway, but I still have not seen the official results).

For Putin a strong Russia no longer meant a Russia that would be a worthy partner for America, it meant a Russia that would defend itself against the West and offer a more authoritarian political model.

To put this new attitude into perspective lets have a look at current and ongoing abuses of Russian power, and when you look at the selective use of its authority you will get a better idea of why you should behave more critically to Russia's ruling parties policies and actions;

Let me start with a situation that has been ongoing since 2006 and by yesterdays news, had resurrected its ugly head. With the Ukraine considering halting payment to the Commonwealth of Independent States (a lose collection of states with shared policies that was created to allow a civilised divorce of some previous Soviet Union countries) and its growing support for EU acceptance and NATO defence... Russia has responded. After the Ukrainian Orange Revolution Russia showed its displeasure by getting its state asset Gazprom to cut the gas line that supplies parts of Europe and parts of the Ukraine.

This was done for three reasons. Firstly to punish the Ukraine for its EU ambitions, secondly to try convey a perspective that the 'rebel' republics are too unreliable for the delivery of energy from Russia to Europe (and in so promote the Nord Stream pipeline). At least nine European countries (and these included, France, Germany and Italy) registered a 20% to 33% drop in their gas supply from the Ukraine. Which leads us to the third reason that it very much intertwined with the second reason. To show the European Union that Russia was displeased with the Color Revolutions and Europe's support of democratic and human rights orientated political movements.

The Ukraine was not the only country to suffer this economic and energy supply bullying. Belarus, Moldova and Georgia all had their gas supplies threatened or cut due to their political policies of democratic reformation and accountability. Gas is not the only economic weapon used against neighbouring states that do not follow the Kremlin's demands.

Lithuania, Belarus, Poland and Latvia have had their oil supplies threatened or cut off by Russia. In more stranger abuses of economic power, Poland has being on the receiving end of a Russian ban on imported Polish meat, and Georgia and Moldova have had their wines and mineral waters banned from entering the country.

These changing republics are not just the victims of Russia ability to use its economic power to bully them... recently, when Estonia moved the graves and statue commemorated to honor solders who died during the Soviet era, Russia found a perfect excuse to test its cyber warfare capabilities and in a way showcase them to the world.

On April 27, 2007 a cyber (hacker attack) blasted the online services of Estonian organizations, including the Estonian parliament, telecommunications, banks, ministries, newspapers and broadcasters bringing the countries communications to a grinding halt. While Russia has managed somehow to keep its hand clears of being directly responsible for the attack, experts (including top Russian hackers ... some of whom were involved in the attack), confirmed that such an attack with its sophistication and coordination and the shear use of resources could not have being orchestrated or allowed without Kremlin involvement.

As all these event unfolded, I kept expecting massive resistance to the Russian governments actions by the people of Russia. The Russian people are smart... "any moment now they are going to reign their leaders in and take back control of their country", I thought. I was disappointed. Putin and his party have popular support in Russia as a lot of the Russian populace feel that Putin is putting forward good economic reforms that are helping the country, and that Putin is showing Russian strength by standing up against America and western policies. You see, the sad thing for the people of Russia is some how they equate respect with fear. Russians tend to believe that if the EU and the US fear Russian power and aggression that they will earn respect they feel they deserve.

Its at this moment I have to put the above perception of the Putin supporting Russian into perspective with an analogy. A weak man beats his wife into submission so that the wife respects him out of fear and self preservation. A good man builds her confidence, looks after her feelings and supports and protects her. To me... a Putin supporting Russian is a weak man. I can have no respect for someone who reasons like that.

Not all Russians are for Putin, Russian Grandmaster chess players, heads of business, political opposition parties and many human rights organizations are shouting foul, however their voices are not enough. Critics of Putin are quickly and efficiently ridiculed, abused, threatened and killed.

One can not but compare the economic and political situation of Germany and the end of world war one, and the decline of the Soviet Union after the Cold War. You will also notice a lot of similarities to how Germans felt after world war one, and the feeling of defeat the Russians felt when communism fell.

Hitler was able to convince a country that it could regain its power in the world through economic power and military strength. For a short while... he was not wrong. The Germans, noglastic on the memories of its power and stature before the Treaty of Versailles, quickly stood behind the dreams of Hitler in what they considered was the right way to take their place as again as leaders in (and apparently of) Europe. The same can be seen happening in Russia. The Russian people felt defeated with the fall of the Soviet Union, and the drunken debauchery of its political leaders before Putin came to power. Putin came into power when the corruption and mismanagement of the past left much to be desired and Russia was almost in a state of economic collapse. Putin has managed to take control of the country, and like Hitler is offering the elixir of previous power and strength through economic reform and military might.

There are many many more similarities and warning signs than the ones I have briefly mentioned. Even Hitlers Nazi Youth has a Russian counterpart, the Nashi youth movement (who claimed part responsibility for the cyber attacks launched against Estonia. I am also not the only person to link the similarities between Hitlers Youth and the Nashi Youth.

Perhaps I am being to harsh with comparing Russia's mood and politics to that of Hitlers, but from where I am sitting, I see Putin using Russia to commit attacks on weaker nations... and mostly nations with pro democratic, EU and NATO ambitions seem to be specifically targeted, and I have to wonder why Russia is so scared of the reformation happening in these smaller countries. After all, the reformations have lead to more accountability and transparency in those governments.

My perspective so far based on the balance of evidence is that former secret and security services members have managed to take control of Russia through political manipulation and intimidation after the KGB (now the FSB) failed to take control of Russia in a military coup they attempted. Using the FSB (KGB) to bully big money in Russia assured the compliance of businessman to tow the new Kremlin line, and use of special services skills were used to destroy any real political opposition. Over the last couple of years, Putin has centralised power and has an extremely strong autocratic method of rule.

The old KGB now has control of the Kremlin and Russia, and the people behind this organisation are not going to give up that power easily.

Russia leaders are scared of real democracy and the concept of accountability for one simple reason. To quote Hitler, "You can not keep with a democracy what you have taken with force"

The nice thing about having my own blog is I really can express my own opinion about someone who I think is acting like the back end of a cow in a less than diplomatic maner. In this case the simpleton I wish to expose is a journalist by the name of Lennox Mabaso.

In a recent article on IOL (The Independent online), Lennox played the all popular and over used,'Apartheid card'. The Apartheid card is a lot like the Hitler card, and is only really used in arguments today by journalists with diminished mental capacity, and almost always by a black supremacist racist with no real argument.

Th article written by Lennox was titled, "Apartheid planning resulted in blackout"(4), which is a lie. What Lennox is trying to do here is use racism to try excuse the incompetency of the ANC government for its direct roll in the energy crisis South Africa is experiencing today. Lennox is so blinded by his racism that he seems to have completely missed Mbeki apologizing (1) for the lack of energy which he was warned about several years ago!

The ANC were aware of the looming energy crisis since the early 1990`s and in 1998, the Department of Minerals and Energy released a detailed energy review. It explicitly warned that unless “timely steps [were] taken to ensure that demand does not exceed available supply capacity”, generating capacity would reach its limit by 2007.(2)

This review was completely ignored by the ANC government and not a SINGLE power station was built from the end of Apartheid till 2004. In fact, to make matters worse, a lot of the competent, experienced white staff were racially purged from Eskom.

At the time Apartheid ended South Africa was producing excess energy. So much so in fact that the ANC government decided to mothball a lot of the power stations as they did not believe they were necessary at the time.

Now, as predicted by so many organizations and people... South Africa has run out of energy. However, to blame Apartheid would be naive and ignorant. The power stations built during Apartheid are still the same ones powering the country today. The people who built the power stations during Apartheid did a good enough job that their creations powered the country effectively until 2007. The racial purges, the ANC government and a corrupt Eskom is the reason we dont have power today.

However for people like Lennox... its easier to blame the 'whitey' instead of accepting the truth of the situation.. that the government HE voted into power is responsible for hospitals (also mostly the same ones built during Apartheid), schools, business and residential being without energy today.

Lennox is so blinded by his racial hate that he is unable to see any of this. Instead he seems to use Robert Mugabe as a roll model and blame the white man.

For those of you reading this in the future, the reasons why we have this energy crisis is as follows:

1) Bad governing and planning by the ANC government
2) Racist purges of competent skill and experienced staff from Eskom simple because they are white (due to AA and BEE).
3) Corrupt Eskom officials mothballing any private attempts to produce energy capacity

I think Lennox should follow the advice of Minerals and Energy Minister Buyelwa Sonjica and go to bed earlier (due to the power cuts)... so he can get "cleverer" and perhaps contribute an article to the news media that actually has being thought out. (3)

I came across this young lady while researching Israel Kamakawiwo'ole on YouTube. She has a voice that can bring a grown man to cry.

Claudette Perry from the Global Afrikan Congress (some black elitist group trying to make political gain and money of racial issues... and they spelt Africa with a "k") on SAFM just before 3pm on the 25th of December informing the people of South Africa that Africans can only be black. That means all the white Africans, colored Africans, eastern Africans and any other African with a different color pigmented skin to her own... cant be African by her definition. She was very clear about this point and even informed some old African (white) lady who phoned in... that she was not African but rather european.

Claudette Perry would make the German Nazi`s with their ethnic profiling so proud. Claudette, generally... around the world.. its accepted that if you are from Africa... you are African, or if you want to be African... you are African. Someone from America is not considered Native American... but they're considered to be someone who is from... America! Australians are Australian, South Americans from South America and so on. Its a freekin regional title you silly dumbat... its not a skin color.

If you want to use that stupid definition of Claudette's that only people with great ancestory from Africa are Africans... well there's kinda a technical fluff up with that. Africa is the cradle of humanity, if were going way way back... why just stop where she wants it to stop... why not go further back and include the rest of humanity? The reason why would not use her mind does not go that far back in her reasoning is because she is a black elitist. No different from her white counterparts in the Klan. They see the data and the facts as they want to see them and try create their own little segregated elitist realities and groups to make themselves feel more special. Basically it sounds like she wants Apartheid.

Then Claudette goes on this whole shcpeel about how "Africans" must be "African", and how all culture in the world are being "europeanised" (she uses the word "europeanised in a very derogatory way"). I don't know if Claudette knows how society works. It changes... therefore it evolves therefore it is subject to one of the mechanics of evolution.. that being natural selection.

Europeans came up with the concept of the car... it was a good idea, so therefore Africans (and the rest of the world) adopted the concept, it sure as heck beats walking. We take what is best from every culture and ethnic group which is why we have things like biltong, sushi, the Internet and ubuntu. From the sound of things she wants some type of anti white society... what.. you want all black people to go back to mud huts and tribalism? Should they not so as they are doing at the moment? choose whats best for them? Rather than have someone like Claudette telling them how they should be?

Then Claudette played the Apartheid and Slavery card. She clearly doesn't know how over played the Apartheid card is now and I kinda think her point on slavery is stupid. Let me explain my reasoning on that point. If she is going to play the slavery card, can I not play it as well? Cant most of Europe use the same line any time they deal with the Italians (Roman slavery)? If you use the Bible as a reference you will see Egyptians (Africans) had slaves way back.

Going back to that social evolution thing I was talking about earlier, it has has being ALL of humanities sin in the past to enslave those weaker than themselves. This is prevalent through ALL histories (except perhaps the Aborigines and the Khoi San.. I am not too sure about them).

Over time humanity has evolved mostly for the better. We decided the wheel was a good idea, we decided that slavery was a bad idea, we think the Internet rocks, we think human rights are a good idea (mostly), and were still working on the whole war part of things... but I am sure we will get there. People are people Claudette, no matter where they come from... they're all capable of the greatest acts of compassion and the most terrible acts of evil.

You gotta love Claudette`s comment on SABC broadcasting, she basically said its all european (white rubbish), she mentioned things like the song, "Silent Nights" and other Christmas carols. What a tosser she is... seriously. Why was she looking at the european TV in the first place? Using Claudette's logic the problem is easy to solve. No european TV, no European carols. Voila! Once again she wants to cherry pic whats considered, "european".

However, the rest of us Africans are going to continue evolving and hopefully for the better while Claudette and her racist buddies can go build their own little racist separatist state next to Oranje. To Claudette and anyone else who reads this... I am African. I was born and bred in Africa and I am going to die an African, and if you are going to tell me I am not African, I am going to call you a liar.

Claudette, if you really want to do something for Africa get your ass into Zimbabwe and help Africans who really need help. Don't stop there there's Sudan that's also in a right mess. Why are you spending so much of your energy trying to segregate society instead of actually getting down to where its at its worst and trying to heal from the ground up? Why? Because you are a hypocrite. Too much work and not enough money for you.
