[Update 09-11-07] Notice of (i) Correction of Error/s & (ii) Retraction of Enclosure; re: Encl.Your Life is In Danger (www.zasucks.com/?p=6151)

Today, 6.5 billion humans depend entirely on oil for food, energy, plastics & chemicals. Population growth is on a collision course with the inevitable decline in oil production.

To advocate for human rights, peace, and social justice while ignoring their necessary ecological basis --— a stable human population – at, or slightly less than – the eco-systems long term carrying capacity --- is intellectual dishonesty and hypocrisy.

The longer we put off choosing the nicer methods of achieving demographic stability, the more likely the nasty ones become, whether imposed by nature or by some fascistic regime. Urine Good Company might represent a mild version of what could actually be in store if we let the marketplace, corporations, and secretive, militaristic governments come up with eugenic solutions to our population dilemma.

Letter: Notice of (i) Correction of Errors & (ii) Retraction of Enclosure; re: Encl. Your Life is In Danger (www.zasucks.com/?p=6151)
Enclosure: Annexure AA: Transparency Disclosure: Email Correspondence: Lara Johnstone to & from: SA Sucks: Doodler & Lone Wolf. Dates: Friday Oct 30, to Nov 5, 2009


My apologies for the inconvenience and the error.


S v. Johnstone: 5 x Crimen Injuria

Dear Sirs & Ladies,

Apologies for the inconvenience; but I do not intentionally distribute incorrect information. If or when I am informed with evidence that I have made an error, then my religious cultural principles of Radical Hon(our)sty , require that I take personal responsibility for my error, and correct it. This is such a case.

In aforementioned letter to you, I included a copy of the original article, from SA Sucks (www.zasucks.com): Your Life is In Danger (www.zasucks.com/?p=6151) (PDF[7]), as an enclosure/link. At the time of sharing the information with you, I fully believed, according to my efforts to confirm the information, that the information in said article was authentic and honest information shared from its authors, Doodler and Lone Wolf, of SA Sucks.


Brief Chronology of Events:

The aforementioned article including its gruesome and horrific crime scene photographs, was posted to the aforementioned SA Sucks website, by ‘Doobler’ (Article and 1 photo) and ‘Lone Wolf’ (Photo Gallery of 13 photos), on October 27th.

On Oct 30th, I contacted Lone Wolf by email, to make further enquiries regarding the crime scene photos, so as to ascertain their authenticity, and other evidence he stated he had, for submission to the International Criminal Court: Office of the Prosecutor: Information and Evidence Unit. I had submitted other – unrelated to SASucks -- South African White Refugee, and related material to the ICC; and thought the crime scene photos significant important additional evidence. His response convinced me he was genuinely concerned, and I concluded he was telling the truth about the photos: Should the ICC investigate, he would provide the ICC with the information as to his sources; and the matter could be professionally and impartially investigated.

On 04 November 2009, I was informed the ‘owner’ of the SASucks blog, ‘Uhuru Guru’ was arrested, by a Capt. van der Linde (Linden Police Station, Jhb), without any charges being filed. He was subsequently held overnight in police cells, and subsequently released the following day, when the State Prosecutor refused to lay charges, on the old crimen injuria matter, from 1993.

The initial news of the arrest shocked the blogging community, many -– like myself -- who mobilized to spread the word, about his arrest, far and wide. The arrests occurring so soon after SA Sucks crime scene photograph ‘expose’, I very strongly suspected the possibility that the arrests were directly linked, and the arrests appeared to be attempts to intimidate SA Sucks, to cease exposing ‘South African crime’ evidence which the S. A. government and police were hiding and covering up.

On 06 Nov, I was informed of a post at Litnet, (And so the Boston Stranglers victims end up on SASucks), which alleged the aforementioned South African crime scene photographs to be frauds. Unfortunately, a Google search for Boston Strangler crime scene photographs, yields the exact picture[10] found on aforementioned original SASucks site; although the Boston Crime Scene site comments allege other crime scene realities. Irrespective of which crime scene the photo was originally from, it clearly is not as inferred and represented in the original SA Sucks article; casting serious doubt on the other photos, in the same article, as originally stated.

In compiling a transcript of the email correspondence between myself and Lone Wolf et al, on this matter, for transparency disclosure purposes; a further very strange ‘Red Flag’ occurred:
There is one email missing from my Microsoft Email Account Sent box, and I am pretty sure I sent it to Lone Wolf and [Name Withheld], sometime around Nov 3, or 4. The only other time any email has ever disappeared from my computer, that I am aware of, was an email written in May 2001, to President G.W. Bush; CC: FBI, CIA et al; requesting the suspension of Timothy McVeigh’s execution, for McVeigh and the victims of the OKC bombing to get closure, via Radical Honesty Truth and Forgiveness.

This missing email was a copy of the Molotov Cocktail, March ‘07 article: Paramilitary Training Camps in South Africa [http://whatisyourrrintelligence.blogspot.com/2009/11/paramilitary-training-camps-in-south.html], with the Cryptome PDF attachment of the alleged 2001 NIA Briefing of Pres. Thabo Mbeki, regarding alleged Hamas Paramilitary Training Camps in South Africa. I did not delete the email; and if intentionally removed by any individual, then I consider it a plausibility the removal of the email, from my computer, is yet another Plausible Deniable Crypto Message from the NSA, whom I granted permission to monitor all my written, telephonic et al communications on 28 October 2001[11].

Note: The Military Intelligence Agencies who were contacted (CC’d to my ICC complaint) about these Population Policy Common Sense: ‘White Refugee’ and ‘Assymetrical Resource Warfare’ matters, are listed among others, at www.miragestorum.co.nr

I accordingly include as an attachment hereto, the full Transparency Disclosure transcript of all email correspondence between myself and Lone Wolf, et al, in this matter.


Conclusion, Retraction and Apology

The arguments[12] and evidence I have submitted previously and elsewhere for the claims I have made, in regard to crime and racially motivated acts of crime in South Africa, based upon the evidence stated therein, remain. I still think the South African government are not being remotely transparent and have, and continue to, violate the Social Contract; as I have repeatedly accused them of since 2002, in various legal complaints[13] (et al). However, I do not support making accusations against anyone, based upon known false information.

I accordingly am honour bound to inform you that I herewith retract the aforementioned article provided to you. I furthermore unequivocally apologize, should the photographs have distressed you, they certainly disturbed me greatly.

Please herewith accept my unreserved apologies and retraction of aforementioned article, from the contents of my communication to you.

Respectfully Submitted,

Photos from Wake Up Whitey! (aka Population Policy Common Sense)

“Karl Marx had it wrong. Class has, been a major factor in history; but class itself is a derivative concept that is based on the ultimate causative power in history: sex. Control -- or the claim of control -- over the means of reproduction has been even more fundamental to history than has control of the means of production.”
~ Eve's Seed: Biology, the Sexes and the Course of History ~

“Unlike plagues of the dark ages or contemporary diseases which we do not yet understand, the modern plague of overpopulation is soluble by means we have discovered and with resources we possess. What is lacking is not sufficient knowledge of the solution, but universal consciousness of the gravity of the problem and the education of the billions who are it’s victims” -- Martin Luther King

Subject: HC-WC In Forma Pauperis (Crimen Injuria) Review Application; RE: Freedom of Speech Political and Cultural Rights, or Secession?; Constitutional, Foreign and International Law Issues


* 09-11-07 Correction Update *
Letter: Notice of (i) Correction of Errors & (ii) Retraction of Enclosure; re: Encl. Your Life is In Danger (www.zasucks.com/?p=6151) (PDF:49K)
Enclosure: Annexure AA: Transparency Disclosure: Email Correspondence: Lara Johnstone to & from: SA Sucks: Doodler & Lone Wolf. Dates: Friday Oct 30, to Nov 5, 2009 (2603K)


S v. Johnstone: 5 x Crimen Injuria

Honourable Sirs/Madam,

[1] I am writing to request your Pro Bono Committee’s support, as follows:
[a] [Cape/Intn’l] To peruse the brief overview of legal arguments of fact and law; upon which I wish to found my Application for Leave, and Judicial Review;

[b] [Cape] Assist Mr. Stage, Registrar of the High Court, should he wish to contact you, in suggesting a suitably practicing Attorney or Attorney’s firm, in Capetown (or as relevant), whom the High Court, can accordingly refer my In Forma Pauperis application to, in terms of the provisions of Sub-Rule 1(a) of Rule 40 of the Rules of the High Court;

[c] [Cape/Intn’l] Please forward this correspondence to any Attorney, Attorney’s firm, or as appropriate, whom your Pro Bono committee consider may be interested or suitably qualified to provide me with Pro Bono Legal Assistance, in the capacity of either: (i) representation of counsel, or (ii) assistance of counsel; or (iii) a legal expert in the particular relevant fields of issue.


[2] Brief Summary of Grounds for Leave and Review:
[a] Absence of Jurisdiction: Crimen Injuria is Unconstitutional; State’s Irretrievable Breach of Truth and Reconciliation Social Contract Principles, and Denial of International Political, Civil & Cultural Rights provides legal grounds for Secession.
  • The law of Crimen Injuria is unconstitutional, in that, it violates the fundamental principle which is the foundation of a ‘democracy’; namely the principle of freedom of speech. In a constitutional republic, there is no such right as the ‘right not to be offended/insulted’.[23]

  • Denial of International Constitutional Right to a Jury Trial: The denial to South African citizens of access to a Jury Trial, to be judged by a jury of their peers, is unconstitutional, and a violation of the principles of International Political, Civil and Cultural Rights. Furthermore, a democracy is dangerous because it is a one-vote system as opposed to a Republic, which is a three-vote system. Three votes to check tyranny, not just one. Citizens have not been informed of their other two jury votes.

  • Due Process Irregularity: Denial of Freedom of Religion, Belief, Opinion and Expression, Language, and Linguistic Culture, Admissible and Competent Evidence: » Secession and Self Determination:

    • Law of Crimen Injuria conflicts with Applicants Radical Hon(our)sty Religion, since the law of Crimen Injuria requires the Applicant to lie, pretend and be a two-faced hypocrite; whenever it may be possible, that someone either with a sensitive ego, or a vengeance minded axe to grind, may choose to pretend to feel offended or insulted, by Applicants honest opinion, shared non-violently, in person to their face (not behind their back): verbally, or in writing[24]; by filing crimen injuria charges, and abusing taxpayers money on criminal prosecutions to massage their ego’s.

    • Furthermore, if the constitutionality of Crimen Injuria is upheld, at the expense of Applicants Radical Hon(our)sty Cultural Religion, as founded upon (i) Radical Honesty Social Contract[25] and (ii) The Laws of Sustainability[26]; and those on behalf of whom she conducted her original civil disobedience act[27]; then such denial amounts to the final and irretrievable breach and nullification of the Truth and Reconciliation Social Contract[28]; providing for the Applicants international legal standing, for grounds for Secession and Self Determination, in accordance with the principles enunciated in Security Council Resolution of 1244, the “recognition of a human community within a sovereign state enjoying a right to self-determination.” (Radical Hon(our)sty Social Contract Offer: Revolution of “Being Black/ Being White” Consciousness; OR Minutemen Secession?[29])

[b] Gross Irregularities in the Proceedings & The Admission of the State’s Inadmissible or Incompetent Evidence, and the Rejection of Pro Se Defendant’s Admissible and Competent Evidence
  • Courts Rejection of Applicants Pro Se Admissible and Competent Application: Notice of Intention: Correct the Record: Withdrawal of Formal Admissions (PDF[30]; Proof of Service PDF[31])

  • Courts Rejection of Applicants Pro Se Admissible and Competent Application: Notice of Intention: Application for Leave, and Judicial Review (PDF[32], Proof of Service PDF[33]), filed subsequent to conviction, with supporting Affidavits, by two expert witnesses, supporting the Founding Affidavit (PDF[34]):

    • Affidavit of Brad Blanton, Ph.D, evidencing the legal, psychological, and socio-political ‘citizens privilege’, Nuremberg Principles skills and competencies of Individual Responsibility, required for acts of civil disobedience to perceived illegitimate authority; and their application to the common law ‘reasonableness test’ (PDF[35])

    • Affidavit of Leonard George Horowitz evidencing the Origin of AIDS sourcing from Hepatitus B Vaccine experiments conducted by Agents and Agencies of the Federal Government of the United States of America and the Merck Pharmaceutical Company (PDF[36])


  • Courts Rejection of Applicants Pro Se Admissible and Competent Application Prior to Conviction: Legal Argument: Political Necessity, dated 11 August 2009 (PDF37]; Proof of Service PDF)

  • Courts Indifferent and Repeated Rejection of all Applicants Pro Se Applications, with the requirement that the content thereof is unworthy of serious impartial consideration, unless the legal format and application process procedures of its submittal meets the exact same legal standards as those required of qualified legal representatives, demonstrates the courts choice to act as a Critical Legal Literacy Interpreter Parasite instead of a Legal Social Engineer[39]; not to mention a confirmation of the facts, to which the court and State repeatedly demonstrated their indifference; as –- for example -- stated Applicants Application for Leave, and Judicial Review, dated 22 September 2009 [Pt 10] (PDF[40], Proof of Service PDF[41])
    South African Law Commission Issue Paper Six, alleged the Criminal Justice System to have a severe Legitimacy and Inefficiency Crisis, in that:
    • Communities are intimidated by the legal system, and ignorant of how it works.
    • Legal representation is inadequate and discriminatory.
    • Legal aid has not been able to serve its intended purpose.
    • The justice system's inaccessibility means it is perceived as illegitimate, ineffective, unfriendly, resulting in alternative dispute resolution whether legal or illegal.
    • Unnecessary complexities brought into access to justice and the mystifying language used.

  • Due Process Irregularity: Denial of Nuremberg Principles Skills and Competencies in interpretation and application of common law ‘reasonableness test’ [Application and Interpretation of the Bill of Rights, in terms of the Common Law, International Law and Foreign Law; & spirit, purport and object of Bill of Rights]

    • Courts Incorrect Interpretation of the Unreasonableness Test, and application thereof to Crimen Injuria: The correct test the court should have applied, was not the ‘man on the Clapham omnibus test’, but the test of the ordinary skilled political activist exercising or professing to have the special skills, in non-violently, by means of civil disobedience Nuremberg and ‘citizens privilege’ principles, confronting – perceived to be -- illegal political authority[42].(Affidavit: Brad Blanton PDF[43])

  • Due Process Irregularity: Denial of Access to Information and Just Administrative Action Principles, and Admissible and Competent Evidence.

    • Plaintiff’s Use of Crimen Injuria Charges were not honourable: Plaintiffs Intentions: Political Persecution of Applicant; by means of Perjury, and Fraud.

    • State’s Prosecution of Crimen Injuria Charges were not honourable: Irregular and Illegal Actions of Complicity to Plaintiff’s Perjury, Fraud and Political Persecution of Applicant.

  • Courts Refusal to allow Applicant the opportunity to invoke the Political Necessity Defence [Civil Disobedience and the Necessity Defence, John Alan Cohen, Pierce Law Review (PDF[44])]; renders Applicants Formal Admissions -- made, as required by, the Political Necessity Defence – null and void

    • Court made irregular use of Applicants Null and Void Formal Admissions, as factual evidence to its findings of Guilt of the Applicant.

    • Courts Refusal to accept Applicants Formal Admission Facts, as sufficient proof of such facts; renders (i) Applicants Formal Admissions as null and void; (ii) shows that 84% of the politicians who received the ‘crimen injuria’ text messages, considered them to be lawful, because they did not file any charges of crimen injuria; accordingly the crimen injuria text messages do not pass the crimen injuria ‘reasonableness test’, when only one out of six text message recipients, allegedly considered them to be an ‘insult to their dignity’; the exact same recipient who committed perjury in her affidavit and on the witness stand. (SAPS: Complaint of Perjury, Fraud & Persecution against Hon. Patricia de Lille PDF[45])

    • Courts Refusal to Honour Applicants Notice to Correct the Record: Withdrawal of Formal Admissions, in accordance with Criminal Procedure Act § 105A Plea and Sentence Agreement principles.

SAmizdat [http://antonbarnard.praag.co.za/?p=678]

The Politically Incorrect Facts: 2009: 10.27 ; by Anton Barnard

The truth is the real casualty of the Reitz video
Afrikaans is my home language but I am deliberately writing this in English, because of my extreme levels of irritation with the distortions, half-truths and outright lies being perpetrated by especially the liberal media and the left wing about the Reitz students, who made the so-called racist video involving cleaners at the University of the Free State. Most of the perpetrators of these malicious lies do, of course, understand Afrikaans, but for reasons of sycophancy or anti-Afrikaner hatred, pretend they don’t.

The facts of this incident make a complete and utter mockery of the hysterical screaming of the liberals and left wingers. It is trivially easy, using the demonstrable facts, to completely demolish the pack of lies on which the entire Reitz House “case” against the 4 students has been built. Not that liberals and left-wingers have even the slightest interest in the facts or the truth, however, especially not when it suits their nefarious purposes to deliberately ignore or distort the facts.
  1. The video is not racist. It was, on the contrary, made as a satirical response to anti-white racism, the ethnic cleansing of Afrikaans, Afrikaners and whites known as (racist) transformation, in terms of which the university wanted to force university students against their will to share their residences with those of other population groups. There is also a deliberate campaign to expunge Afrikaans as a medium of instruction at the university, and replace it with English. Whatever happened to the students’ constitutionally guaranteed concept of freedom of association, one might ask? Why are they forced to integrate, against their will? Where is the students’ constitutional right to be taught in their mother tongue? Where is the liberal media’s outrage about the injustice the Afrikaans-speaking students are being subjected to?

  2. As a white former university residence member, albeit at another university, I was subjected to the exact same ritual that the cleaners were jokingly subjected to. We were forced to eat mouldy bread, for example, and had molasses poured over us as an initiation ritual. The difference is in the video it was a joke, but in my case it was for real. Think what you may about initiations (which is an entirely separate issue that has much more to do with bullying than with racism) but there was no question of any racism in the Reitz video, except for the anti-white racism it was protesting against. Once again, the makers of the video in question intended their video to be satirical, and to jokingly pretend to show cleaners subjected to the same ritual that I and many other lily-white students had been subjected to over the years.

  3. The sycophantic left-wing media, for example Talk Radio 702, insist on continuously repeating an outright lie, i.e. that the students “urinated” (sic) on the cleaners’ food. Nothing of the kind happened. How many times must it be repeated before these liberal dullards will succeed in comprehending the simple truth: it was an orange cordial known as Oros. What is so difficult to grasp, people? I am again thinking of especially Talk Radio 702, that deliberately, knowingly and repeatedly spreads this lie in its news bulletins.

  4. In spite of the bilge spewed by those intellectual giants and experts in carpentry of the ANCYL, the so-called victims very clearly did not think that their dignity had been trodden on at the time. Had that adult prodigy Julius Malema and his equally gifted Cosatu comrades taken the trouble to view the entire video, it would have been abundantly clear that the so-called victims participated voluntarily and indeed laughingly in the video. The so-called victims even drank a beer and jokingly played rugby with their “tormentors”, and clearly had a good time in the filming of the video. Once again: nobody was hurt in any way, shape or form. Nobody’s dignity was compromised. There was no racism. Those are the facts; except the facts don’t suit the liberals or the left, do they?

  5. Months after filming the video, the cleaners clearly thought nothing more of it. They most assuredly never even considered laying any charges, or even complaining to the authorities. How could they, given that they were filmed while drinking on duty? It was only when the demagogues of the left stumbled on the video, that the insane screams of racism started, and the cleaners were brainwashed by others into agreeing that their rights had been trampled upon. This only goes to show up the extremely patronizing attitude that especially liberals have towards blacks. It is in fact not the students who displayed a racist attitude, but the liberals and left-wingers who decided on the cleaners’ behalf that they had not acted correctly by playing along and not pressing charges. How patronizing can one get? The cleaners are adults and as such surely could decide for themselves they had no problem with the video. Others, however, took it upon themselves to force the cleaners to “admit” that they’d been harmed. How much respect do those who imposed their views on the cleaners have for the judgement of the cleaners themselves? Are those that laid the charge not in effect saying the the cleaners, being black, are incapable of making a correct decision and require the assistance of external parties to realize when they’ve been slighted?

  6. When it was finally decided to charge the students in question, nobody was quite sure with what to charge them. Is bad taste, which is the worst that the makers of the video can be accused of, a criminal offense? The best that the prosecutions authority could come up with, was the largely irrelevant charge of crimen injuria. It is unclear how exactly this can be proved in any reasonable court of law – once again, the so-called victims were willing and laughing participants, who didn’t even consider pressing charges.

  7. Another egregious lie that keeps being repeated by the Nazis on the left (no doubt taking their lead from Adolf Hitler who famously said that a lie that is repeated often enough is eventually mistaken for the truth) is that the Reitz students showed no remorse. According to their lawyer, the truth is that they have attempted on several occasions to do so, but were not allowed to do so. Once again, one has to ask why not. The answer, of course, remains the same: in the Nazi-like propaganda war being waged on whites, the truth and facts don’t suit the left.

  8. While the left and liberals are screaming hysterically about a non-event, the shocking hate speech and naked anti-white bigotry of black students at universities, including the Free State university, continue unchecked. A few weeks ago, black students at Tuks embarked on a criminal orgy of violence and uttered death threats against white students who were trying to prevent the former from trashing the campus (as the more radical black students have been wont to do on multiple occasions.) On the very same campus where the Reitz video was shot, black students recently threatened to “rape the white bitches.” Yet, there is a strange silence about this ourageous black-on-white racial hate from all quarters, including the liberal mainstream media. Why is this? Why not also splash this across your front pages for months on end, rend your clothes and scream your outrage to the heavens, as you did with the Reitz video? Perhaps the liberal media also subscribes to the bullshit that blacks are not capable of racism.

I must admit that, even in spite of the demonstrable facts that I have provided above, I hold out very little hope that the truth, as opposed to anti-white and anti-Afrikaner propaganda, will win the day. The loony left and liberals clearly have no interest in the truth or the facts, and the Reitz House video is too convenient a stick with which to beat whites and especially Afrikaners. Given the political pressure, should the Reitz house case ever come before a court, they have no chance whatsoever of a fair trial. Should this trial be adjudicated by a racist black judge such as the Afro-fascist, liar and piss artist, “judge” Nkola Motata, especially, these students won’t stand a chance.

All the while, black radicals are free to spout their hatred of whites with barely a whisper being raised in the liberal media. Somebody must really explain to me one day why white students are not allowed to make a satirical video in which fun was had by all, but it’s followed by an immense and immediate outcry by especially the media. On the other hand, the liberal media clearly views the malicious destruction of university property, death threats and threats of rape against white students uttered by black students as not only not newsworthy, but quite possibly acceptable behaviour on the part of blacks.

Former Finnish Provincial Medical Officer Says Vaccines Are Eugenics Weapon

[Moon.Snow.Chateaux.Blu69] Ignorance of AIDS origins is Bliss; or is it Suicide? | SVCP Smoking Gun of AIDS | Emerging Viruses: Nature, Accident or Intentional?

“... World population growth is widely recognized within the Government as a current danger of the highest magnitude calling for urgent measures...... it is of the utmost urgency that governments now recognize the facts and implications of population growth, determine the ultimate population sizes that make sense for their countries and start vigorous programs at once to achieve their desired goals.”

“... population factors are indeed critical in, and often determinants of, violent conflict in developing areas. Segmental (religious, social, racial) differences, migration, rapid population growth, differential levels of knowledge and skills, rural/urban differences, population pressure and the spatial location of population in relation to resources -- in this rough order of importance -- all appear to be important contributions to conflict and violence... Clearly, conflicts which are regarded in primarily political terms often have demographic roots. Recognition of these relationships appears crucial to any understanding or prevention of such hostilities.”

“...there is general agreement that up to the point when cost per acceptor rises rapidly, family planning expenditures are generally considered the best investment a country can make in its own future.”

The truth is the real casualty of the Reitz video

What is Racism? -- A Conversation About Race

Hateful or not, interracial violent crime is overwhelmingly black on white or black on Asian. The Department of Justice's figures show that between 2001 and 2003, blacks were 39 times more likely to commit violent crimes against whites than the reverse. Of the nearly 770,000 violent interracial crimes committed every year involving blacks and whites, blacks commit 85 percent and whites commit 15 percent.

You won't hear about that from the Southern Poverty Law Center or see it on the evening newscasts, because the truth is one thing and the liberal agenda is another.

The truth is the real casualty of the Reitz video

SAmizdat


27 October 2009
Afrikaans is my home language but I am deliberately writing this in English, because of my extreme levels of irritation with the distortions, half-truths and outright lies being perpetrated by especially the liberal media and the left wing about the Reitz students, who made the so-called racist video involving cleaners at the University of the Free State. Most of the perpetrators of these malicious lies do, of course, understand Afrikaans, but for reasons of sycophancy or anti-Afrikaner hatred, pretend they don’t.

The facts of this incident make a complete and utter mockery of the hysterical screaming of the liberals and left wingers. It is trivially easy, using the demonstrable facts, to completely demolish the pack of lies on which the entire Reitz House “case” against the 4 students has been built. Not that liberals and left-wingers have even the slightest interest in the facts or the truth, however, especially not when it suits their nefarious purposes to deliberately ignore or distort the facts.

The Reitz Video....

Man Arrested by Political Police for calling Mandela a “Kaffir” in his Nkosi Sikilela remix song.....

Pregnant (Again) and Poor || CIA & Pentagon's Perspective on Overpopulation & Resource Wars || When Environmental Writers Are Part of the Problem

Kenneth Boulding's Population Growth Theorems (1971): "The Dismal Theorem"- If the only ultimate check on the growth of population is misery, then the population will grow until it is miserable enough to stop its growth.

"The moderately cheerful form of the Dismal Theorem" - Fortunately, it is not too difficult to restate the Dismal Theorem in a moderately cheerful form, which states that if something else, other than misery and starvation, can be found which will keep a prosperous population in check, the population does not have to grow until it is miserable and starves, and it can be stably prosperous.

Until we know more, the Cheerful Theorem remains a question mark. Misery we know will do the trick. This is the only sure-fire automatic method of bringing population to an equilibrium. The economic analysis I presented indicates that the major priority, is a world campaign for the reduction of birth rates. This, I suggest, is more important than any program of foreign aid and investments. Indeed, if it is neglected, all programs of aid and investment will be ultimately self-defeating and will simply increase the amount of human misery.

Man in court over offensive Madiba lyrics

“Free societies should not be in the business of criminalizing opinion” -- Mark Steyn Testimony to Ontario Human Rights Commission
A man has appeared in court for allegedly insulting former president Nelson Mandela during a potjiekos competition at Sun City near Rustenburg, North West police said on Tuesday.

Benjamin Burger (46), a shareholder of the security company hosting the competition at the hotel, allegedly played a remixed version of the national anthem on Saturday, Commissioner Lesetja Beetha said in a statement.

"It is alleged that during the competition he played a CD ... containing remixed lyrics of the national anthem, and people who attended the event listened to the song Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika, which continued to say Nelson Mandela is a kaffir."

One of the people attending the competition reported this to the hotel manager, who informed the police.

Burger -- apparently a main shareholder of the Falcon Security Company that provides security services at the Sun City hotel -- was subsequently arrested and released on bail of R1 500.

He appeared in the Mogwase District Magistrate's Court on Tuesday on a charge of crimen injuria.

The matter was postponed to December 11. -- Sapa

Ecologically-minded liberals should also heed Dr. Salter’s work, for only when Third-World populations are made to bear the consequences of their own reproductive irresponsibility will they, and the world as a whole, establish population policies that protect the environment. Closing off the “safety valve” of Third-World immigration to the West should be as attractive to the sincere left as to the racial right.

A Rustenburg man called Mandela a kaffir in his remix song and was arrested – come on now…

A police report says that a man has appeared in court for allegedly insulting former president Nelson Mandela during a Potjiekos competition at Sun City near Rustenburg, North West.

This is scary stuff, seeing that we all have constitutional rights to trade insults – or so I believed. Mandela who is ill, doesn’t even know about the incident. Doesn’t the affected party have to open a case against the insulter for the case to go to court?


This guy’s only mistake is that he decided to launch a musical career by doing a kaffir version of the South African new national anthen and then threw in Nelson Mandela’s name there just to spice things up – also to do some big name calling just as rappers do if they want their albums to sell. As they say in rap lingo “drop it like it’s hot”.

According to the police report “it is alleged that during the competition he (Benjamin Burger, 46) played a CD…containing remixed lyrics of the national anthem, and people who attended the event listened to the song Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika, which continued to say Nelson Mandela is a kaffir.”

Now Benjamin is no student at the University of the Free State and neither does he stay at the univeristy’s Reitz residence. He is a grown up and a shareholder of Falcon Security Company which provides security services at the Sun City hotel, which incidentally hosted the Potjiekos competition. He was playing no prank, but was merely excercising his constitutional right to freedom of expression and enjoying whatever it is that Potjiekos competition contestants do. We can’t also rule out the possibility of him trying to launch a music career.

I mean our deputy police minister Fikile Mbalula has been trading insults with Kader Asmal. Words like lunatic were tossed about, and the MK veterans jumped in and spiced it up with stronger words like “find the nearest cemetery and die”. Julius Malema and Helen Zille have enjoyed that pastime too as we sat glued to our newspapers whisky and Cubans in hand. Riverting stuff.

Malema has basically traded insults with almost everyone from Cope to DA, and does not spare his own comrades in the ANC and SACP – Naledi Pandor and Blade Nzimande will attest to that.

Now that’s democracy at its best and I love it that way.

I don’t see anything wrong with Zuma’s “mshini wam” mixed with the hit single “kill the boer, kill the farmer” by the late Peter Mokaba and a dash of Mr Burger’s kaffirnated Nkosi sikele’iAfrika. I would make for a chart burning release, akin to Arthur “king of kwaito” Mafokate’s “Don’t call me kaffir”.

In Zimbabwe I am told people get arrested for making uncomplimentary statements about uncle Bob, and sometimes for just looking like a member of the movement for democratic something. We should not head that way.
