Adrian Olivier,

Sunday 21 July – Sunday 28 July:

On Sunday, Russia said its warplanes prevented two bomber aircraft belonging to the United States from crossing its border over the Barents Sea in the Arctic. “The crews of the Russian fighters identified the aerial target as a pair of US Air Force B-52H strategic bombers,” Russia’s Defence Ministry wrote on the social media platform Telegram. The ministry said the Russian military scrambled MiG-29 and MiG-31 fighter jets, which identified the U.S. planes as В-52Н strategic bombers. “As the Russian fighter jets approached, the American strategic bombers adjusted their flight course … and subsequently turned away from the state border of the Russian Federation,” the ministry said. The Russian warplanes carried out the flight in compliance with international rules on the use of airspace over neutral waters, it added. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to Russia’s claims.

Hello again,

I’m quite pleased I missed Cyril’s opening of parliament speech on Thursday. I understand that it was long and boring and there was nothing new. He repeated, ad nauseuam all the promises and expectations of the National Development Plan (NDP) that he has done six times successively as leader of his party and of the country. And nothing comes of any of his plans because too many in the ANC are lazy, incompetent, dishonest and corrupt and he continues keeping them in elevated positions. He did, however advise that the petrol price is too high and they intend to do something about that. But this was promised by the Min of Mineral Affairs 4 years ago.

In his Presidential address he highlighted how far SA has come in 30 years but he didn’t mention the 55% of our country folk who live in abject poverty.

Ramaphosa stressed the need for working together with the 10 other parties who have joined the ANC in the Government of National Unity (GNU). Here’s hoping that makes a difference.

Sunday 14 July – Sunday 21 July:

On Monday, Donald Trump picked Senator JD Vance of Ohio as his running mate. Trump made the announcement on his social media platform Truth Social on the first day of the Republican National Convention and said Vance would “be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond.” Vance began courting Trump after the former president left office, beginning with a spring 2021 meeting at Mar-a-Lago accompanied by the venture capitalist Peter Thiel. Vance once worked for Thiel, who pumped tens of millions of dollars into his candidacy. Vance was the lone senator who opposed a North Atlantic Treaty Organization-backed no-fly zone in Ukraine, and his comments caught the eye of Trump’s eldest son Donald Trump Jr., according to a mutual friend of both men.

Sunday 7 July - Sunday 14 July:

On Saturday, a young man attempted to assassinate former president Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. Trump survived the attack while the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by the Secret Service. Crooks took his shots with a rifle from the rooftop of a building little more than 130 metres from where Trump was speaking. The rooftop was a known vulnerability before the event, according to NBC News, which cited two sources familiar with Secret Service operations. That the shooter was able to get off shots while the Secret Service was observing the shooter will no doubt be the subject of investigation.

Erik Prince, founder of the PMC Blackwater, gave this analysis on Twitter: “The law enforcement sniper (unclear if USSS) in newsreels was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter. Clearly they were watching the shooter but apparently have a no "first shot" policy. The only positive action was an apparent 488yd shot by one USSS sniper which despatched the assassin but after the assassin launched at least 5 rounds, wounding DJT and killing and severely others in the crowd.” One bystander was killed and two others were seriously injured in the assassination attempt. Crooks’ motives have not yet been discovered - it seems he was a registered Republican but had also donated to a progressive cause in 2021; his parents were registered as a Democrat and Libertarian.

African-American Delusions

Will Keys

I am an ex-Rhodesian, now an Australian, retired, living contentedly in Queensland. I have reasonable health; happily married; proud of my children, and financially secure. My curiosity with world affairs is high and I follow US politics closely. No surprise. I am fiscally conservative; socially tolerant, and a MAGA supporter. Donald J. Trump is my absolute hero.

After retirement, I indulged in private research to stop the pain in my foot caused by a shoe stone. A stone planted by the British government. I wanted to know exactly how those perfidious bastards in London had managed to extract themselves from the legal bonds stipulated in the 1923 Southern Rhodesian Letters Patent Constitution. The answer: “We found that they had arbitrarily repealed the 1923 Constitution in their House-of-Commons, leaving Rhodesians without legal rights and that was it!” The bastardry was pure Perfidious Albion.

Our research also led to a curiosity about the motivations behind the sudden change of ‘Africa policy’ by the British Government. It became apparent that it was African-American voting pressure, by the Democrat Party, that forced a British capitulation. The British were promised and granted special arrangements in the European/US dollar-trading-market, utilizing so-called ‘independent banks’ in the Caribbean. The demand was that full independence be granted, based on black majority rule, regardless of capacity.

Gerald Potash,

Hello again

In the Sunday Times this week, William Gumede writes about Ramaphosa’s recycling of failed ministers in his new cabinet. He writes that the ANC is tone-deaf and blind to the change demanded of them by the electorate. Unfortunately, the ANC have insisted that their policies will remain the same and those policies have failed miserably.

Prof. Gumede further points out that Cyril has appointed four ministers reporting to his office. This is likely to create a parralel cabinet; is this because Ramaphosa does not have faith in the cabinet he appointed?

The writers in Daily Maverick refer to the cabinet as a confederacy of dunces. And Paul Hoffman of Accountability Now, in his article in that publication writes that the watchwords of the ministers cabinet should be pragmatism, meritocracy and honesty. He further points out that this is not a cabinet of a Government of National Unity (GNU) because only 11 of the 18 parties represented in Parliament have joined. There is still a sizeable group in Parliament in opposition to the government.

It will be more than just interesting to see how the over-bloated cabinet meetings (legotlas) are handled.

Sunday 30 June – Sunday 7 July:

On Sunday, French voters gave Marine Le Pen’s National Rally party a first-round election win. The RN and their allies led with 33.21% of the vote, followed by the parties of the left-wing New Popular Front with 28.14%, those of Ensemble with 21.28%, and The Republicans and miscellaneous right candidates with 10.17%, with an overall turnout of 66.71%, the highest since 1997.

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled that former President Donald J. Trump is entitled to substantial immunity from prosecution on charges of trying to overturn the last election. This decision vastly expands presidential power by insulating them from repercussions for their actions in carrying out their official duties. The decision ensures that political enemies will be unable to charge them with crimes once they have left office. Broad immunity for official conduct is needed, the chief justice wrote, to protect “an energetic, independent executive.” “The president therefore may not be prosecuted for exercising his core constitutional powers, and he is entitled, at a minimum, to a presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts,” Chief Justice Roberts wrote. “That immunity applies equally to all occupants of the Oval Office, regardless of politics, policy or party.” The alternative, the chief justice wrote, is to invite tit-for-tat political reprisals. The vote was 6 to 3, dividing along partisan lines. The liberal wing said the majority had created a kind of king not answerable to the law.

Britain To The Fore! 05/07/2024

Britain To The Fore!

Hannes Wessels,

Recently, more information has come into the public domain about the British plans to intervene militarily in order to bring the ‘Rebel Rhodesian’ government to heel in the aftermath of the unilateral declaration of independence (UDI) on the 11th November 1965.

Just why it never came to fruition remains a matter for discussion; but I believe the invasion was probably called off because the Americans declined a request for assistance and Britain lacked the logistical resources to proceed without them. In the Falklands, the British probably would not have prevailed without American assistance, but they adept at grabbing most of the glory for themselves.

In this context I follow the exhortations of the UK media and the political establishment as they rally the populace, Europe and America to heed their clarion call to arms and give the Russians a good thrashing for their ‘brutal slaughter of the innocents’ in Ukraine. One politician who has cautioned against this jingoistic hubris is the Reform Party leader Nigel Farage who has a more balanced view of the cause of the conflict and what might be done to end the killing. [Farage did not condone Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, nor – as far as I recall – did he suggest any solution.

Sunday 23 June – Sunday 30 June:

On Sunday, Russia accused the United States of setting the coordinates for a Ukrainian attack on Crimea with five U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles which killed four people, including two children, and injured 151 more. Footage on Russian state television showed people running from a beach and some people being carried off on sun loungers. Russian authorities in Crimea said missile fragments had fallen just after noon near a beach on the north side of the city of Sevastopol where locals were on holiday.

The incident generated a furious reaction among Russian public figures. “Such actions by Washington … will not be left without response,” Russia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Monday as it summoned the ambassador. “There will definitely be response measures.” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the attack “absolutely barbaric” and said in a news conference that Moscow would react to the U.S. involvement. Peskov also referred to comments by Russian President Vladimir Putin about arming countries to potentially launch strikes on Western targets. “We perfectly understand who is behind this,” Peskov said, adding that it was clear who supplied weapons to Ukraine, aimed them and provided data for them. “Of course, the involvement of the United States in the fighting, as a result of which peaceful Russians are dying, cannot but have consequences,” Peskov said. “Which ones exactly, time will tell”.

Hello again,

As many of you will know Jacob Zuma is not my favourite politician. If I told you though that I am eternally grateful to him for the manner in which he destroyed the ANC, I’m sure you will understand my feelings. Who would have thought, even as recently as a year ago that the “liberation” party (ANC) would crash down to just 40% of the vote in a general election. That drop could get worse in the near future. The fighting between the various political parties, so many with their ‘original homes’ in the ANC in the lead-up to the general election was actually quite pleasing to watch. Much of that can be ascribed to Jacob Zuma.

This weekend saw several results in local by-election voting and again the ANC is the biggest loser. In Beaufort West 7 by-elections saw the ANC lose 6 of those seats that previously were theirs. And in KZN MK took a beating. Has sense at last come to our voters? The major winners were the DA in Beaufort West and the IFP in KZN.

The Race Against Racism

Hannes Wessels,

While I was not living in South Africa when the ANC, led by Nelson Mandela, came to power in 1994 it was plain to see that almost the entire white community of over four million people, even those who had aggressively opposed the transfer of power to a black majority, had resigned themselves to the new reality. They wanted to help, rather than hinder, the new leadership make a success of the new dispensation. Many whites were ecstatic; a new ‘Rainbow Nation’ had been borne that was going to show the world what a multi-racial democracy could become when shod of white-minority rule. Handed on a plate was a sub-Saharan super-state; the continent’s most developed country, infrastructurally and economically; boasting a mighty military, and its most efficient civil-service.

The hubris that surrounded the national team winning the 1995 Rugby World Cup with President Mandela resplendent in a Springbok jersey took national euphoria to unprecedented levels. With home-grown goodwill in abundance, peace on the country’s borders, and the entire world proffering generous support for the ‘born-again’ country, once blighted by apartheid, it was difficult for even the most dystopian to entertain the prospect of failure.

Adrian Olivier,

Early on Wednesday, Vladimir Putin arrived in North Korea for a summit with Kim Jong-un, his first visit to the Hermit Kingdom since 2000. Putin was welcomed by huge welcome banners and Russian flags. On the eve of his visit Putin thanked Kim’s government for its support. “We highly appreciate that [North Korea] is firmly supporting the special military operations of Russia being conducted in Ukraine,” Putin wrote in an article published in the Rodong Sinmun, the newspaper of the ruling Workers’ Party, on Tuesday. He added: “We will develop alternative mechanisms of trade and mutual settlements that are not controlled by the West, and jointly resist illegitimate unilateral restrictions. And at the same time we will build an architecture of equal and indivisible security in Eurasia.” North Korea’s state KCNA news agency said Putin’s visit proved that ties between the two countries “are getting stronger day by day” and would lend “fresh vitality to the development of the good-neighbourly cooperative relations between the two countries”.

The Russian delegation to Pyongyang reportedly included the defence minister, Andrei Belousov; the foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov; the heads of the Russian space agency and its railways, and Putin’s point man for energy, the deputy prime minister, Alexander Novak. Putin and Kim signed an agreement that pledges mutual aid if either country faces “aggression,” a strategic pact that comes as both face escalating standoffs with the West. Both leaders described it as a major upgrade of their relations, covering security, trade, investment, cultural and humanitarian ties. During Putin’s visit to North Korea, Kim said the two countries had a “fiery friendship,” and that the deal was their “strongest ever treaty,” putting the relationship at the level of an alliance. He vowed full support for Russia’s war in Ukraine. Putin called it a “breakthrough document” reflecting shared desires to move relations to a higher level.

Our election results have brought a new era of politics into our country.

“In many ways, SA is a different country this morning and in many ways it is the same old confusing and disturbing mess” This is how Peter Bruce in his opinion piece in the Sunday Times started his column on Sunday, telling us that now is the time for the ANC to be brave. We need jobs to make the economy grow and attract investment and Bruce questions the ability of the ANC to be brave enough to torpedo BEE (black economic empowerment), to assist in getting work for so many unemployed and thereby to attract that (foreign) investment again.

Cyril just can’t sit back and do nothing. We need action.

But does Cyril ever do anything and does he read the Sunday Times?

Sunday 9 June – Sunday 16 June:

On Sunday, results from the European Parliament elections were announced, massively disrupting politics in several European countries as the far-right parties gained a record number of votes. In France, President Emmanuel Macron called a snap election after his party was defeated by Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN).“I have decided to give you back the choice of your parliamentary future by voting. I am therefore dissolving the National Assembly this evening,” Macron said. The elections to pick a new parliament will take place on 30 June and 7 July. In Germany, the Alternative for Germany (AfD) also won a record number of votes in a show of discontent with Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s three-party governing coalition.

In total, the far-right won around 150 of the European Parliament’s 720 seats, potentially frustrating efforts by mainstream parties to form majorities needed to pass laws. EU Commission President Von der Leyen appeared to rule out any possibility of the party banding together with the far-right factions, telling journalists that she will be reaching out to The Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats (S&D) and centrist and liberal Renew Europe to form a “broad majority for a strong Europe.”

Gerald Potash,

Notwithstanding the pollsters warning us that we were in for political upheaval at our general election the final vote tally surprised many. I’m almost certain that nobody expected the ANC to fall so far under the 50% mark for the first time since our first election, when the ANC, headed by Nelson Mandela 30 years ago polled 67%.

This is the state of the various parties who qualified to take up parliamentary seats with the number of members who will be representing them. ANC 159, DA 87, MKP 58, EFF 39, IVP 17, Patriotic Alliance 9, FF+ 6, ActionSA 6, ACDP 3, UDM 3, ATM 2, al Jamah-ah 2, Bosa 2, NCC 2, Rise Mzansi 2, Good 1, PAC 1, UAT 1. The horse trading to be the ANC’s partner(s) in the coalition has already started and we now wait to see what a coalition government will look like. They have only two weeks from last Thursday to make up their minds.

Not too many other democratic countries have 18 political parties represented in their parliament. What it proves is that SA is democratic and that our elections are free and fair.

The ANC lost 71 parliamentary seats. The DA gained 3, but Zuma’s new MK party got 58 seats and the EFF lost 2.

With all 51 registered parties on the voting sheets, and then having to fill in three different voting forms (National, Provincial & Independent persons standing for office) the voting was quite complicated. That may account for the rather poor turnout of voters. Only 16.1 million of the almost 28 million registered voters voted.

On Sunday, Chinese Premier Li Qiang and his South Korean host, President Yoon Suk-yeol, agreed to launch a diplomatic and security dialogue and resume talks on a free trade agreement a day before their trilateral summit with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. “China and South Korea face significant common challenges of the international affairs,” Yoon said, pointing to the wars in Ukraine and Gaza as sources of increased uncertainty in the global economy. Li told Yoon their countries should oppose turning economic and trade issues into political or security issues and should work to maintain stable supply chains, Chinese state news agency Xinhua reported.

On Monday, leaders from China, Japan, and South Korea met for the first time together in four years in the South Korean capital Seoul. Chinese Premier Li Qiang – the second-highest official in China – met South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, with the three countries agreeing to revive trilateral cooperation. In their meetings, Li and Yoon agreed to a diplomatic and security dialogue and resume free trade talks, while Kishida and the Chinese premier discussed Taiwan and agreed to hold a new round of bilateral high-level economic dialogue. Yoon also asked China to play a constructive role in reigning in North Korea, which is expanding its nuclear weapons and missile arsenal. Despite the seemingly amicable mood of the meeting, however, Li at one point expressed Chinese uneasiness about Japan and South Korea’s moves to beef up their security partnership with the U.S., which Beijing views as an attempt to form a bloc to contain China.

Hello again,

At their final ANC election rally on Saturday at the FNB Stadium a giant Palestinian flag adorned the stage. There was no sign of a SA flag. You have probably seen our Foreign Minister and many of the Ministers wearing Keffiahs confirming their support for murderers and rapists and they threaten prison for any SAn who returns home after serving in the Israeli army.

The ANC is good at only one thing; giving away T-shirts. At the FNB stadium they handed over almost 70,000 T-shirts.

Ramaphosa used the SABC and our national TV stations on Sunday evening to campaign for the ANC rather than give a “Presidential” assessment of where we are as a nation and why we should all vote, as was expected. In this political stunt he even went so far as to tell us all how well the ANC had done during his term as president and how much better off we all are. That is a blatant lie. Fittingly he has received a strong backlash from virtually all the political parties and political commentators. The DA are hauling Cyril to the Electoral Court for abusing his office in the national address and for using the address solely to solicit votes for the ANC; which is illegal. They asked for a fine of R200,000 personally to be served on him and Zuma’s party, umKhonto we Sizwe (MK) also wants action from the IEC. They want Cyril to be jailed.

I haven’t been very kind about Rishi Sunak – and it’s only going to get worse I’m afraid. The diminutive smart-alec (excel, PowerPoint) is clearly buoyed by “promising” economy metrics released yesterday (inflation has indeed declined, nowhere near as rapidly as it should have) and believes that this news will suddenly reverse the loathing. Tonight he will fire up the posh totty at central office – and tomorrow you’ll have to swallow what lands in your inbox. It will be these poor bastards and bastard-esses charged with crisscrossing the country, handing out platters of bacon sandwiches and mugs of tea, fluffling the stage for the arrival of man who will squeak in his little trousers, hemmed just above the ankle, “Britain has a great story to tell!”
