| Israel may face a dilemma: to be destroyed or win at a terrible cost |
| 2024-07-25 |
| [IsraelNationalNews] Till now not a single person has died of hunger in Gaza. They die in other parts of the world from Islamic genocide, in places like Sudan, Nigeria or the Congo, but nobody cares about it. The rights of Palestinian Arabs are above the rights of Sudanese Christians, Kurds, Boers in Southern Africa, or Baha’is in Iran. Palestinian Arabs are the highest caste of mankind because they are a strike force aimed at destroying Western Judeo-Christian civilization. The offensive is being waged on a broad and powerful front, which includes China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, Qatar, Islamists and, most importantly, Western globalists who hate their own peoples and Israel as a symbol of the triumph of Biblical prophecy. The Jewish state, like the Jews before it, is once again at the forefront of history. Israel, outpost of Western civilization, is the enemy of the New Church of Globalism, and must disappear in the name of the triumph of the "Red-Green revolution." This "Red-Green revolution" involves the destruction of the very foundations of Western civilization: family, morality, freedom, rationalism, humanistic values, science, art, culture, national traditions, classical literature and philosophy. In place of the existing civilized states of Europe and North America, a gigantic "consumer plankton" should arise, cemented by the merciless laws of Sharia. Today, few people remember the "Alliance of Civilizations," but it became the most outspoken expression of this project. The "Alliance of Civilizations " of Obama, Zapatero (Prime Minister of Spain) and Erdogan, created in 2004, was nothing else but voluntary acceptance of dhimmitude status for Europe and the USA in a future Caliphate. Active participants in the project included former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, South African Nobel Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary General. The Alliance declared that "politics, not religion, is at the heart of the growing Muslim-Western divide". This message demanded "correct" political decisions. Which ones? First aim: A radical change in the Western world through:
Obama's bows to the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo, desperate humiliating attempts to appease the ayatollahs, courtship with Erdogan, the idea of a mosque on of WTC grounds, a kūfīyä on Zapatero's neck, - all are the displays of this outlook. 20 years later we see that these goals have been achieved. * The young generation is at the mercy of woke progressive constructs and is completely deprived of both national and cultural roots and critical thinking. * Mass migration from Third World countries abounds almost everywhere (except Eastern Europe) and has radically changed the very ethnic structure of Western societies. * The media has created a great Orwellian dystopia. * Islam has become the supreme religion to which all other religions must submit: Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism. * Aggressive Islamization has become a sign of the times. The second key aim was the "end" of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: As Israel is the main irritant to Muslims, it loses its right to exist. "Furthermore, the Arab-Israeli conflict has become a critical symbol of the deepening rift" (Press release of "Alliance of Civilizations"). Zapatero and Erdogan recognized this idea almost openly, Obama does it less obviously, but the essence does not change. Their followers today in the White House and Brussels are inexorably moving towards their goal. It’s unbelievable but the impression is that they were all just waiting for some monstrous event, like the 7.10 massacre. Less than a couple of months after the massacre of Jews, the White House and Brussels started talking about an immediate cessation of hostilities and the immediate creation of a Palestinian Arab state (!) within the 1949 borders under the hidden actual control of Hamas. Biden demanded Israel stop the operation in Rafah. Thomas Friedman demanded that Israel withdraw from Gaza and return Sinwar to power. Schumer, on behalf of the Democratic Party, called for the overthrow of the legitimate government of Israel, which is too obstinate and unyielding. Western Europe launched a massive unilateral recognition of the "state of Palestine." The UK and France are next in line. The UN and other globalist structures have launched an unprecedented persecution of Israel. A significant part of the American and European elite has nothing against Israel as such. Some of them are even Jews, like Blinken or Shumer, or have Jewish spouses, like Kamala Harris and Keir Starmer. But they know that they are just cogs in the great globalist machine and must submit to it. Naturally, the Iranian Ayatollahs, Muslim Brotherhood and Erdogan's appetites are only growing. Left without Western support, moderate Sunni regimes are backed into a corner. This explains the desperate flirtations of al-Sisi, Crown Prince Mohammed, the UAE, Bahrain and King Abdullah with Iran and Hamas. They risk sharing the fate of Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and Syria, and their growing weakness and vulnerability inevitably will bring the alliance of globalists and Islamists closer to their cherished goal: the creation of the world Caliphate. The ring is shrinking right before our eyes. The Islamists are openly or covertly supported by Western globalists calling for immediate creation of "Palestinian state" under the thinly disguised rule of Hamas. The next Holocaust will cease to be an abstraction and become a reality. Israel will be left with only two options: to die without a fight or to destroy the enemies by means of a nuclear weapon. Obama foresaw this, and that is why he was so persistent in demanding Israel open its nuclear program for IAEA oversight. Today, his current followers believe that the current ruling elite in Israel will not dare to use a lethal arsenal even in a critical situation. And they are right. But times change, and the elites change with them. Considering the tragic and painful history of Jews, from Maccabeus and Jerusalem's zealots to the Warsaw ghetto and the Six-Day War, I would not be too quick to draw conclusions. |

| Sisonke Msimang - De Klerk was merely a footnote in South African history |
| 2021-12-26 |
Praise and support for De Klerk — who was South Africa’s president during its transition from white minority rule to democracy — has been muted in the country, not simply because of his association with apartheid, but because of his many shortcomings as a statesman. In the words of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, "Mr De Klerk could have gone down in history as a truly great South African statesman, but he eroded his stature and became a small man, lacking magnanimity and generosity of spirit." During his presidency (1989-1994) and his time as deputy-president to Nelson Mandela (1994-1996), De Klerk had an opportunity to shape the views of his white compatriots, elevate the voices of Black South Africans, and play a leading role in building a democratic South Africa. Instead, he repeatedly chose to equivocate and lie during his time in political power. Instead of reckoning with the past, De Klerk and the white politicians he led, tried to dodge it. As a result, De Klerk became a historical footnote. Although he released Mandela and other political prisoners and unbanned the liberation movements and their affiliates in 1990, De Klerk was a reluctant reformer. After he lost the election to Mandela in 1994, he became a deputy-president in his government of national unity. Although he held a senior position in the government led by Mandela, De Klerk was unable to admit to his role in apartheid-era violence against Black South Africans. Instead of coming clean, he lied to the country’s Truth |

| Desmond Tutu aka 'The Red Arch' tango uniform at 90 |
| 2021-12-26 |
| [MAIL] Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and veteran of South Africa's struggle against white minority rule, has died at the age of 90. Tutu was diagnosed with prostate cancer in the late 1990s and in recent years was hospitalised on several occasions to treat infections associated with his cancer treatment. In a statement on behalf of the Tutu family, the Office of the Archbishop of South Africa said he, 'died peacefully at the Oasis Frail Care Centre in Cape Town this morning.' They did not give details on the cause of death. In 1984 Tutu won the Nobel Peace Prize for his non-violent opposition to apartheid. A decade later, he witnessed the ends of that regime and chaired a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, set up to unearth atrocities committed during those dark days. He preached against the tyranny of white minority and even after its end, never wavered in his fight for a fairer South Africa, calling the black political elite to account with as much vigour as he had the white Afrikaners. In his final years, he regretted that his dream of a 'Rainbow Nation' had not yet come true. Announcing the news, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa said it was 'another chapter of bereavement in our nation's farewell to a generation of outstanding South Africans who have bequeathed us a liberated South Africa'. An uncompromising foe of apartheid in South Africa, Tutu worked tirelessly and peacefully for its downfall. Mr Ramaphosa added: 'From the pavements of resistance in South Africa to the pulpits of the world's great cathedrals and places of worship, and the prestigious setting of the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony, the arch distinguished himself as a non-sectarian, inclusive champion of universal human rights.' |

| South Africa's Desmond Tutu aka 'The Red Arch' turns 90 amid new racist slur |
| 2021-10-06 |
 CAPE TOWN, South Africa (AP) — As South Africa’s anti-apartheid icon Archbishop Desmond Tutu turns 90, recent racist graffiti on a portrait of the Nobel winner highlights the continuing relevance of his work for equality.Often hailed as the conscience of South Africa, Tutu was a key campaigner against South Africa’s previous brutal system of oppression against the country’s Black majority. After South Africa achieved democracy in 1994, he continued to be an outspoken proponent of reconciliation, justice and LBGT rights. The racial insult sprayed last month on a mural of Tutu in Cape Town is "loathsome and sad," said Mamphela Ramphele, acting chairwoman of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Trust. South Africans must continue Tutu’s work for racial equality, she told The Associated Press. "Racism is a curse South Africa must escape," said Ramphele. "Archbishop Tutu’s legacy is huge. He fought against racism and fought for the humanity of us all." Although frail, Tutu is expected to attend a service on Thursday, his birthday, at St. George’s Cathedral in central Cape Town, where as the country’s first Black Anglican archbishop he delivered sermons excoriating apartheid. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984 for his campaign of nonviolent opposition to South Africa’s system of white minority rule. After retiring as archbishop in 1996, Tutu was chairman of South Africa’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission which investigated human rights abuses during the apartheid era. Despite the serious nature of his work, Tutu brought an irrepressible humor to his frequent public appearances. Notably, he supported LBGT rights and same-sex marriage. "I would not worship a God who is homophobic and that is how deeply I feel about this," he said in 2013. "I would refuse to go to a homophobic heaven. No, I would say ’Sorry, I would much rather go to the other place.’" Tutu said he was "as passionate about this campaign (for LGBT rights) as I ever was about apartheid. For me, it is at the same level." He withdrew from public life in 2010 and issued statements through his foundation. He has been treated for prostate cancer and was hospitalized several times in 2015 and 2016, and underwent a surgical procedure to address recurring infections from past cancer treatment. At the church service Thursday, fellow anti-apartheid campaigner Alan Boesak is to speak. There will also be an online seminar about Tutu’s life and values to be addressed by the Dalai Lama; the widow of Nelson Mandela, Graca Machel; former Irish Prime Minister Mary Robinson; and South African governance advocate Thuli Madonsela. |

I don’t fully agree with that. He went on to assert that he was not justifying apartheid in any way whatsoever, saying: But there is a difference between calling something a crime. Like genocide is a crime. Apartheid cannot be, for instance, compared with genocide. There was never a genocide. He added that more black people were killed by other black people than by the National Party government. But in making this statement he conveniently chose to forget that a great deal of violence was fomented by the government’s security forces. De Klerk was immediately engulfed in controversy. Condemnation of his statement came in thick and fast. Big names entered the fray, including former president Thabo Mbeki and Anglican Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu. The South African Council of Churches issued a statement as did the governing African National Congress (ANC). And the opposition party Economic Freedom Fighters called for his ejection from parliament when President Cyril Ramaphosa was waiting to deliver his State of Nation speech. De Klerk’s foundation responded by dismissing the UN’s statement as a product of Soviet-style "agit-prop". This aroused yet more popular fury. Such was the outcry that De Klerk opted for an immediate and humiliating retreat, issuing an abject apology, and insisting that he remained firmly committed to the politics of national reconciliation. His foundation also backtracked. It issued an apology for any anger and hurt caused. In its statement it said it agreed with the International Criminal Court’s definition of a crime against humanity as acts |

 [AFRICANEWS] The government of South Africa has apologized for the power cuts that have affected the country for two days, which is threatening the fragile economy of the continent’s leading industrial power.For a while now power cuts have been recurrent as many users record damages at homes and in businesses. "We must, on behalf of the government, apologize to all businesses, to students who cannot take their exams, for the inconvenience this causes. We are studying the problems affecting Eskom and we want to assure South Africans that we will return to a normal situation," South African Vice President David Mabuza told Parliament . Public electricity giant Eskom, which supplies 95% of the electricity produced in South Africa, took a nose dive when the company in June 2019 announced a debt of more than 1 billion dollars, hitting record net losses. Eskom cited breakdowns in their plants as the cause of these cuts and promised a return to normality soon. The government of President Cyril Ramaphosa announced in July that it will device a rescue plan to support the power supplier.

Mooch and Desmond Tutu aka the 'Red Arch' yuk it up. Obama revealed she was found Barack attractive, but she had her "suspicions" because a bunch of white people were fawning over him. "I have my suspicions when a bunch of white folks fawn over a black man," Obama stated. "Because I sort of think, OK, he can talk straight so they think he is wonderful. So ‐ so that was my theory, and then his name was Barack Obama. He was from Hawaii. I thought, what? You know, so I didn’t really know what to expect. And then in walks Barack Obama, and Barack Obama has always walked like Barack Obama, like, he’s got all the time in the world. He had that stride. I was, like, dude, you’re cute, but in my mind, I was, like ‐" Roberts interrupted, "Not interested?" "Off limits," Obama continued. "Not even not interested.

| Mercer: Winnie Mandela Will Never Rest In Peace |
| 2018-04-05 |
As a young bride whose husband had been imprisoned for life, Winnie suffered bitterly, especially during her exile to "Brandfort in the Free State, where she was unceremoniously dumped at house 802 with her youngest daughter, Zinzi. There was no running water or electricity and the house had no floors or ceilings. The people spoke mainly Sotho, Tswana or Afrikaans and hardly any Xhosa, which was Winnie’s home language." With the years, however, Mrs. Mandela only grew angrier and more bitter, even when the good times rolled around. She soon attained international ill repute for being embroiled in the practice of "necklacing" of so-called suspected police informers. "Necklacing," for those who don’t know, is the more contemporary African custom of placing a diesel-doused tire around a putative offender’s neck and igniting it. Truth be told, her victims were regular black folks who weren’t loyalists of the African National Congress. Little Stompie Moeketsi was "a teenage United Democratic Front (UDF) activist." Winnie and her football team, aka posse (don’s ask me to explain), stood in the dock for these acts of barbarism against him and others: Moeketsi, together with Kenny Kgase, Pelo Mekgwe and Thabiso Mono, were kidnapped on December 29, 1988 from the Methodist manse in Orlando, Soweto.[1] Moeketsi was accused of being a police informer. Screams were heard as Stompie Moeketsi was murdered, at the age of 14, by Jerry Richardson, member of Winnie Mandela’s "Football Club". His body was recovered on waste ground near Winnie Mandela’s house on January 6, 1989.[1] His throat had been cut. Jerry Richardson, one of Winnie Mandela’s bodyguards, was convicted of the murder. He stated that she had ordered him, with others, to abduct the four youths from Soweto, of whom Moeketsi was the youngest.[3] The four were severely beaten.According to a 1997 statement by the South African Press Association, the first-ever necklacing was of a girl named Maki Skosana, who in July 1985 was necklaced after being accused baselessly of involvement in the killing of several youths. "With our boxes of matches and our necklaces, we shall liberate this country," proclaimed Mandela’s increasingly deranged wife Winnie to The New York Times on February 20, 1989. |
