Keyboard Ninjas - True Heros

Faking Your Bravery

Are You Solution or Problem?

Bolo4u

Keyboard Ninjas are fighting the fight from the comfort of their homes endangering innocent defenceless peoples with their make believe bravery. Every Racial Remark is a trigger for the next Black on White Attack. Yes these people are cowards. That is irrelevant. The question is whether you have the Balls to make a difference or be part of the problem. The vessel is available to make a difference. Are you a keyboard or not.

South Africa will never be dragged into a state of civil war by White Activists. There is just to many level headed people in our lovely country. The Country is to big. We have tried to rule it with force and with one of the World's best military machines of the time we did not lack the empathy to do it. We are a God fearing Nation with Cultural Morals. That is who we are.

Yes Boers I write in the language of the Antichrist because I did not fear to live in peace with other cultures, races and religions. Soda you You fear for the unknown conquered you may be part of the solution. It is not humiliating to provide for your community and vulnerable people safe haven. It's actually very vervulend. 

So people of South Africa. Let us take hands and stand together against the people who are stealing the spoils of Apartheid and the future of our children. White and Black will never be equal. We have to many enemies amongst us, but we can fight them together. We can HALT the Crime Waves Plagiarizing our people and decimating our economy. We have the will, the knowledge and the ability to do so. 

The CPF is not a vigilante system protected in Article 68 of The National Police Act of 1994. No it is a Constitutional Right to Feel Safe.... To Be Safe ... The function of the CPF is to be the eyes and ears of the South African Police Force and the Minister of Safety and Security. Yes it works. If you want to make it work. There is more people against Criminal Activities than people who want to be criminals. Right Wing Activist want us to believe we can't do anything about the problem. 

They not seeking a solution. I was AWB back in 1992/1993. If you associate with hate you will never experience peace. My Roots are in Zululand. The Zulu is RESPECT. If you don't have it you will FEAR it. Don't hold Piet Retief against me. If you don;t have the background you won't know that a British Roman Catholic Missionary was behind the Sangoma uprise that over run Shaka's Authority.

Even if you don't want to believe this. Surely you know that the Enemy of Your Enemy is Your Allie.

From a Different Angle 5

In From a Different Angle 2  and then again 4, I mentioned, “Piece of advice; never delete ANY of your photographs, you may take an interest in photoshop and need them one day.”

I cannot emphasize this enough. Some people, very few now-a-days, may never use photoshop, but as you are reading a blog, you are likely to be writing one, or commenting on one soon. That funny/bad photo you deleted? “Hell, it would have been perfect for…” 

The first photo I admit has been hanging around for years and I found now use for it, until now that is.
The second photo has been used a few times on some sites about the ongoing droughts in parts of South Africa. I still have plans to use it in some photoart when I get the chance.

Some of the photos in this series are going to be poor quality, as they were taken with a cell phone camera, and not a very good cell phone at that! We all get those moments when we curse the fact that our camera is not with us. Or living in South Africa, it has been stolen! They are here just to show “looking from a different angle.”


A person can have the best equipment money can buy, and get a high quality, mega pixel, in focus shot every time, no problem.  But then the composition can be lousy, no matter how interesting the subject is, and if the shot is not pleasing to the eye, is a snapshot, nothing more, nothing less.
So you go learn all about composition, the “rule of thirds”, and even take it further and go for the rule of 5ths. Your photographs are now 100% better, but still not THE best.


At Photography 101 we will not only teach you the above, but will show you how to LOOK, first with your own eyes and only then through the view finder. Some people have a gift, they not only think, but also see, From a Different Angle.  I believe the two are inter-related and that in order to SEE, one first has to THINK…..from a different angle. And that is what we shall teach you way beyond just the basic skills.

Rules vs Principles

Rules are not necessarily sacred, principles are.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Principles emphasizes: “Doing the right thing”
Rules state: “YOU WILL”
The latter statement has never and will never work for me!
My first question is, “Why?”. Then I question who made the rule?
A government? MY government!!!?
Or is it some holier than thou religious type?  Ouch!
We will not go there today.
The type of person that will follow rules blindly is the worst. Dangerous to the extreme, because even if their deep seated conscience tells them following the “rule” will be wrong, they will do it anyway.
But we are not going there either.
Where are we going?            Follow me —— >


Principles!
Principles give us a sense of direction, meaning and an inspiring cause to live for. The only way we can ever feel really happy and fulfilled in the long term is to live in accordance with these inner guiding standards. Now how do we set them, who will be our guide? The people above that make the rules? NEVER!!! Look at both groups track record. You will find every evil thing know to man committed by both. The 7 Deadly Sins are very much at home in both government and the church. Watch the news, if you have any doubt about that rather bold statement.
Each person needs to find their own principles and then try to live by them as best they can. If you include the concepts below in your principle list and are honest with YOURSELF, I assure you, you will have a hard time keeping them. Never mind, strive for mediocre success at first, then adequate and finally excellent.
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.

Aristole

Include these concepts in your principles to live by: fairness, equity, justice, integrity, trustfulness, diligence, industry, honesty, excellence, compassion, truth to self and others, and welfare of others.
Good luck.

In From a Different Angle 2 I mentioned, “Piece of advice; never delete ANY of your photographs, you may take an interest in photoshop and need them one day.”

The first photograph is just an shot with little thought other than I may use this one day. The second photograph is made from a similar shot, unfortunately the original is lost. I have since learned to make backups of my backups!

Some of the photos in this series are going to be poor quality, as they were taken with a cell phone camera, and not a very good cell phone at that!

From a Different Angle 3

Both these photos were taken at a time when I was living in an extremely ugly place and neighborhood.

The first photo was taken in the semi-abandoned factory I was living in. It is one of many that I took and became a part of a collection I called “Though Dirty Windows.”

The second was taken while working on a project with my friend Tanisha, she is a photographic artist who’s work portrays man’s destruction of the environment. We spent a lot of time at one of Johannesburg’s larger dump sites. This lonely boot in the middle of the access road caught my attention.

Rhino Wars – A 6 year Review Series. Part IV

The original post was done on 2012/02/15

I had been reading up about the concept and then implication of poisoning live rhino's horns. I thought then it was a good plan and still do. After I wrote this article the lady that invented the means to do this successfully and I became friends. She invited me, years later to go on a mission with her. As you will read below, Lorinda Hern did not have an easy time of it.

Rhino Wars – Inner Fighting and Spencer the Rhino

I find it very sad that the very people that are trying to help our Rhino are coming under attack from other groups of people that claim that they too are fighting for the survival of the Rhino.  I strongly feel that ALL groups and individuals that are collecting money for this cause should be held accountable for moneys received and practice transparency in their organizations; and shall not remain quiet on this issue as it is as dangerous for the Rhino as the poachers themselves.
Recently a lady that has all of the above came under attack when a very tragic incident occurred, a classic case of, “ When bad things happen to good people” as far as I am concerned. She writes about the incident in the heartbreaking letter below. I have also taken the liberty of putting in a reply she received from the famous Dr. Ian Player.
Wayne Bisset.
“As you can probably well imagine, the past three nights were fraught with much reflection, a crushing sense of loss and endless “would have, could have, should have” questions. I woke up with the realization today that, if I were given the opportunity to perform this particular procedure again, there was not a single thing I would have changed or done differently. By anyone’s standards, Spencer’s horn treatment was the perfect procedure – from start to finish, everything ran absolutely smoothly; a fact to which I believe every person present on the day can attest. No less than five wildlife veterinarians, unrelated to the project, concluded that negligence or incompetence played no role in the animal’s death. Dr. Joseph Okori from the WWF and Dr. Brett Garnder from the Johannesburg Zoo in fact said the procedure was performed with great professionalism. To be honest, I myself did not realize disaster had struck until I sat down to do the media briefing after and received the devastating news: “We’ve lost him”. Stupidly, in that instant, I had an “ER moment” – I was convinced we could resuscitate our unresponsive patient with a shot of adrenalin or a heart massage… had it not been for the fact that the “patient” weighed in at a hefty two tons, I think I would actually have tried.
I have unfortunately become, from one day to the next and certainly not by choice, a rhino owner in a very unique position: I have lost an animal due to poaching and I have lost animal in an attempt to protect it from poaching. Although the emptiness and grief is the same, I am at peace with Spencer’s passing in a way I was not with Queenstown’s. You see, my sadness over Queenstown was punctuated with feelings of guilt and shame that we had not done enough to protect her. With Spencer, I am comforted in the knowledge that we could have done no more for him.
I am sure many will question the need for this procedure, and why we invited the press to attend it. These are valid questions. Some time ago, we received information that Spencer was a potential poaching target, as he did not form part of our initial treatment sample and was therefore vulnerable. We had reason to believe that he was in danger and scheduled the treatment accordingly. Such is my belief in this project, all the research we have done and the number of successful treatments we had performed previously (we have even treated pregnant cows before – all of whom are in perfect health, as well as their calfs) that I was happy to have the media attend, given that so many had expressed an interest before in seeing what exactly the treatment entails. We were certainly not engaging in any activity we were embarrassed about or did not want recorded. I believed openness and transparency about the procedure would debunk many of the myths that still surround it, hence our willingness to engage with the press.
In my mind, we could only ever have handled the ensuing tragedy by telling the truth. Although I will gladly admit that running away was a very attractive (albeit completely unrealistic) alternative as sheer panic set in. The truth is that, in this industry, losing animals under anaesthesia is not uncommon. In fact, losing humans under anaesthesia is not uncommon either. Rhinos especially, are very sensitive to sedatives and these animals are often lost during relocations, dehornings or other medical procedures. Whenever an animal is immobilized for whatever reason, the possibility exists that said animal might not regain consciousness. Needless to say, this does not mean we should no longer perform medical procedures on animals, only that we be aware of the risks involved every time we do.
On the surface, Spencer appeared to be in excellent health, and the risk of immobilizing him was a calculated one. His heart rate was monitored throughout the procedure and did not fluctuate greatly at all – indicating he wasn’t getting overly stressed. He was turned once during the procedure to ensure that he did not cut off the blood supply to his limbs by laying with his full weight on them for too long, and the procedure was scheduled for early in the morning to reduce the risk of the animal “over heating”. Spencer was darted from a helicopter and all went smoothly with the initial sedation – he did not have to be chased down. He went down approximately 6 minutes after the dart was inserted. His eyes and ears were then covered and plugged to keep his stress levels to a minimum. A DNA sample was harvested, after which the infusion equipment was attached to the horn. This device infuses all of the horn’s “tubules” with a bright pink dye (which makes it impossible to smuggle the dye out of any major port with scanning equipment) and an ectoparasiticide to protect the animal against ticks (rhinos in captivity, where there are often not many Ox-Peckers, are very attractive targets to ticks). Lastly, a tracking device was inserted and the holes in the horns sealed with an epoxy mixture. During the procedure, Spencer was shivering and twitching (called “paddling”, which is a normal response to anaesthesia) and snorting loudly from time to time, with spittle collecting in the corners of his mouth (also a normal reaction to anaesthesia). It is believed that he, for the first time, developed heart arythmia when the wake-up drug was administered, after which he simply did not regain consciousness.
It was only after the veterinary team failed to revive him that a preliminary post-mortem examination was performed during which it was revealed that Spencer had a particularly high body fat percentage. This, coupled with his age (he was in his twenties) could possibly have brought about his negative reaction to the anaesthetic. We are still waiting for the toxicology, hematology and histopathology testing to be completed by scientists at Onderstepoort and will give feedback on the results as soon as we can. However, I can categorically state that the horn treatment was in no way responsible for, or a contributing factor to, Spencer’s passing. Were it not for a poaching situation that will cause the species to go extinct between the next 5 to 8 years, rhino owners would not have to resort to counter-measures like horn treatments, dehorning or relocation (all of with involve immobilization of the animal) to keep our rhino’s safe. Even a full-time anti-poaching unit (which we also have on the property) is not a guarantee against poaching.
What happened was, and remains, a humbling experience. Bad things happen to good people all the time, and we are not exempt from our share of suffering. I am sure that we will face many vindictive attacks about Spencer in days and weeks to come. However, we shall continue the work we are doing with the same level of integrity we always have. I am happy to answer any questions anyone may have about Spencer or the treatment. We still believe that the relative small risk involved in sedating an animal versus the big risk of leaving that animal unprotected from poaching in any one way, shape or form, is a justifiable one. Insurance companies believe the same thing – they are willing to insure animals who need to be immobilized for medical procedures, but they are seldom willing to insure animals against poaching. In over 500 prior procedures, our wildlife vet, Dr. Charles van Niekerk had never before lost a rhino under anaesthetic. His sense of loss is probably even greater than my own.
Spencer’s passing is a stark reminder that rhino poaching is one crime that leaves little room for happy endings.”
Lorinda Hern.
The reply by Dr Player.

My dear Lorinda,

Thank you for your email. Nil deperandum. In wild life conservation these things happen and often for a good reason although at the time hard to understand. I presume it was the drug m99 that vet used. It is very powerful and can adversely affect the heart. This should show up if there was a autopsy. Dont give up, get back onto the horse and look at what positive can come out of it. It does bring the plight of the rhino into dramatic focus and shows you were doing your best to help the whole rhino cause. In my case it took a long time to get over the death of the rhino I darted but I learnt a lot from the experience, not the least being how mean and spiteful people can be. I also learnt who my friends were. All his encouraged me in my work and operation rhino went on to become a great success story. If you ever read my book The White Rhino Saga you will see what had to be overcome. But as Maqubu Nttombela always used to say. We are doing the work of God and sometimes (he or she) makes it hard so we can learn. He was a very wise old man I tell the full story of him in my book Zululand Wilderness Shadow and Soul.
You are doing your best and have always done so so you can sleep with an easy conscience.
Cheer up and take care;
Yours,
Ian Player

Photo Series – From a Different Angle 1

There are most likely 1000’s of photographic clubs and photography courses available, so indeed, why, Photography 101? As I am only one of the managers of the site, I can only tell you from my point of view, if you will excuse the pun. And that statement actually sums it up quite nicely.
A person can have the best equipment money can buy, and get a high quality, mega pixel, in focus shot every time, no problem.  But then the composition can be lousy, no matter how interesting the subject is, and if the shot is not pleasing to the eye, is a snapshot, nothing more, nothing less.
So you go learn all about composition, the “rule of thirds”, and even take it further and go for the rule of 5ths. Your photographs are now 100% better, but still not THE best.

At Photography 101 we will not only teach you the above, but will show you how to LOOK, first with your own eyes and only then through the view finder. Some people have a gift, they not only think, but also see, From a Different Angle.  I believe the two are inter-related and that in order to SEE, one first has to THINK…..from a different angle. And that is what we shall teach you way beyond just the basic skills.

Rhino Wars – A 6 year Review Series. Part III

The original article was written in 2011/11/09. If I thought we were losing then, we are not only losing now, we are getting slaughtered, pun intended.

1,175 rhinos were poached in South Africa during 2015.

Rhino Wars – we are losing..

In South Africa we have lost, as I write this, 348 Rhino, but by the time you read this the figure will more than likely be higher.

There was a small spot of bother in a country called Vietnam a good few years back. During that time a terrible thing called Napalm was used, as well as a poison called Agent Orange. Then too, a tactic called carpet-bombing was tried out. More bombs were dropped on North Vietnam than were dropped during the entire 2nd World War! The Rhino survived this apocalypse. This year it was reported by the World Wildlife Fund that those Rhino are no more. The Vietnam Rhino was poached to extinction.
The IFP wants to hold yet another summit, talk, talk. One of the plans that has come up before was to move certain of the Rhino to “safer” areas. This plan really perplexed me. Forgive this ignorant Gypsy for asking but: The poachers have proven to be a highly mobile force that has taken Rhino right next to an APU’s HQ, for one thing. Also, with all the publicity of this project, did we not just tell the poachers bosses exactly where to find a nice concentration of these animals? WTF?
We have at our disposal here in South Africa, some of the best bush soldiers in the world. Many are looking for work. Why are we not using this resource? I ask you with bloody tears in my eyes.

The Tale of the Cat with the Sapphire Eyes

Religion and Ivory

As for the past few years I concentrated on the slaughter of the rhino; I did not write much about the other animals that are also getting wiped out. On the Rhino sites I see so many comments, about the Chinese. Now, I am not saying that China has a huge responsibility in the business, but to be accurate, the Vietnamese are the forerunners in rhino horn trade.
When it comes to the slaughter of the elephants, China is taking a leading role, of that there is no doubt. In China and Hong Kong, ivory is seen as precious material and is used in ornaments and jewellery. I think there must be millions of Ivory Buddha  statues in the world.  Most will be found in Japan. The Buddhist religious leaders say little in defence of the elephant. Recently a few websites selling Ivory Buddha statues have popped up, the biggest client base? Britain.
Then we come to the other idols that are made from Ivory, they estimate about 30 % of the tusks poached are made into little Jesus and Mary statues. Ivory baby Jesuses and saints for Catholics in the Philippines mainly. That the Pope does not make a stand against this show he should re-read the book of Genesis, and think what God, to whom he claims a direct line, by the way, said about man being responsible for the well being of the animals.
National Geographic published the following:
“Monsignor Garcia is head of protocol for the archdiocese of Cebu, the largest in the Philippines, giving him a flock of nearly 4 million in a country of 75 million Roman Catholics, the world’s third largest Catholic population. The tradition of carving ivory into religious pieces in the Philippines is so deeply rooted that in Cebu the word for ivory, garing, also means “religious statue.”

“Christy reports that another prominent Filipino Catholic, Father Vicente Lina, Jr. (Father Jay), advises people to buy religious icons made of “new” ivory—”so the history of an image will start in you.” By “new” Father Jay means smuggled.”

Then, we have the Islamic prayer beads for Muslims, all over the world.

Religion is obviously no friend of the elephant.

Sunday Morning Short Story - Bimbi and the Mortar

You may have read the short story, Bimbi’s Letters, well here is another short story involving my friend Bimbi.

We did 82 mm mortar drills and generally this was a fun time for most of us, learning and firing new weapons from different countries, and then putting our knowledge to the test by teaching others. We were learning from all the different branches of the army. If I taught someone to fire mortars, they would teach me the ins and outs of a 12.7 mm and so on. We were getting fit by running to and from the training ground twice a day, and the hot sun was burning us white boys as brown as our troops.

One morning we decided to hold a refresher course on stripping and assembling the AKs, as we had not practiced that for quite some time. Shit, we may as well have never done it at all, for most of the troops had forgotten the first move: how to get the hoofdeksel off! No fun for anyone the next few weeks. They had to get this right or they would literally die the first week in combat. We hadn’t even begun practicing with live ammo yet, that promised to be fun.

Finally some stock that arrived was some 82 mm mortar ammo. We were sick of dry runs so we should have been happy. The problem was that the wooden crates fell apart when we touched them. The actual bombs were also covered in rust. I have a piece of paper at home with Russian writing on it from those boxes; the date is 1952 and the last time they were inspected was in the early 70s. (We opened that lot in the 1990s!) Well, we cleaned that lot up and practiced for quite some time with them. Very few miss-fires, till one day one of my mates, Bimbi and myself were letting Sergeant Ze get on with it while we chatted on the back line. We all heard this half fart, half-spitting sound come out the one tube. From then on, everything seemed to move in slow motion. The bomb had left the tube and was already coming down; it landed as we all were diving to the ground, bounced exactly three times and lay still, 20-odd metres from us.

Obviously it never went off, or I could not be writing this. The killing range of a bomb that size on open ground is huge. The weight of the HE bomb is 3.05 kg and HE stands for “high explosive”. When we had recovered from the shock we called in a couple of sappers to blow the bitch. Every time we had live practice after that, it was a nerve-racking experience.

The Coffin Victim Reveals Truth

ANCYL Takes Charge

The Truth behind Farm Attacks 

Recent involvement surrounding farmers safeguarding their families has became a political playing field for The African Congress Youth League. Or has it? Fact is the ANCYL have never laid down the armed struggle. The have never revoked it and has never spoken out against farm killings. So the only alternative is the opposite. Here is the video of the latest stand off. Look how this man's truth of a very political event comes apart and distorted as he cannot answer very simple question. 

How did you escape?

Look how quickly the comrades safe the day .... BUT THE TRUTH IS OUT....

Op Die Plaas - Clive Derby Lewis

Hoog Verraad of Moordenaar

Wie het oom Clive Veraai

| 4u2Stay | St Lucia | Fishing Report | The Mexican | Green Heritage |

Nou gaan dikkes om oop maak vir 'n pak slae, maar wat gesê moet word moet gesê word. Oom Clive se weergawe van die gebeure is redelik akkuraat, behalwe dat hy nie se wie het besluit Chris Hani moet dood nie. Hy se slegs dat dit vir hom 'n maklike besluit was en dat hy geen gewetens beswaar teen sy besluit gehad het nie, want "ons" was in oorlog en F.W. De Klerk het 'n onwettige roete gevolg om die land oor te gee. Dit alles is waar en ek kan dit nie weg praat nie.

Luister en Kyk Die Video's dan praat ons weer.

Nou kom ons kyk eers wie was oom Clive Derby Lewis. 

"Derby-Lewis, who was born in Cape Town, was an Afrikaner with German and Scots ancestry.^[7] He grew up in Kimberley and was educated at the then-Christian Brothers' College. He articled as a chartered accountant and worked for both an accounting firm and an oil company; he also became an Extraordinary minister of Holy Communion at Blessed Sacrament Church in Johannesburg before he left the Catholic Church in the early 1980s. He later joined the Afrikaanse Protestantse Kerk (English: Afrikaans Protestant Church), notable as a staunch supporter of Apartheid.^[8]"

Die is belangrike inligting, want net soos met Verwoerd, is ons Afrikaner ons reg ontneem om met die swart stamme van Suid Afrika 'n geleentheid gegun te word vir vreedsame ontwikkeling. Dit was oor die jare tog die Afrikaner se doel. Waar ons kom het ons wel probeer vreedsaam lewe. Alhoewel baie mense ons probeer uitbuit en sleg se.

Alhoewel oom Clive deel was van die stigting van Dr Treurnicht se  Konserwatiewe Party was hy nooit deur die publiek verkies as verteenwoordiger van die Konserwatiewe Party nie. 

Following his unsuccessful election bid in the Krugersdorp constituency, Derby-Lewis was nominated as a member of parliament in 1987 (after the then constitution allowed for political parties to nominate members to the House of Assembly, in addition to their elected representatives). Derby-Lewis served on a number of parliamentary committees. He also represented the Conservative Party on the Standing Committees of Parliament dealing with the Provincial Affairs of Natal, as well as Trade and Commerce.

Derby-Lewis lost his seat after the 1989 election, and was subsequently appointed to the State President's Council, an advisory group, where he served as a member of the Economic Affairs and the Amenities Committees.^[10]

Nou baie mense sal verdeeld wees oor my sieninge hier, maar ek was KP vir 'n rede en Dr Treurnicht het ons nooit gelei as rassiste nie. 

Derby-Lewis has a long history of racially inflammatory remarks, a number of which were considered off-putting even by his Conservative Party colleagues who themselves favoured a racially divided South Africa. In 1989 he claimed in Parliament that "If AIDS stops Black population growth it will be like Father Christmas."^[11] Similarly, that same year he was overheard remarking "What a pity" in response to a report by a minister that an aircraft had had to brake to avoid a black man on the runway at Johannesburg's airport (he later apologised, claiming it had just "slipped out").^[2] Commenting on this, Andries Beyers (a senior party official at the time) said: "I think sometimes he became an embarrassment to us. He was very, very hardline. He had a calling to bring English-speakers to the CP, but his personal style put them off."^[12]

Gemeet aan Julius Malema se Britse betrokkenheid wil ek ook net die volgende uitwys. 

He visited London twice in an official Conservative Party of South Africa delegation, including that of June 1989, which included their leader, Dr. Andries Treurnicht and Natal party chief Carl Werth. About that time he joined the London-based Western Goals Institute as an honorary Vice-President, and was one of their delegation to the 22nd World Anti-Communist League Conference in Brussels in July 1990. 

Daar was al die jare baie verdeeldheid tussen die Afrikaner. Die wat glad nie in vrede met die swart man wil saamleef nie. Die is nie ek nie. Waar ek groot geword het was dit 'n trots om 'n Suid Afrikaner te wees en het ons 'n plig gehad om die swart man op te bou tot hulle self onderhoudend kon wees op 'n vlak van hulle keuse. Vandag nog lewe ek met dieselfde leuse en soek 'n Party wat my die geleentheid kan gee. 

Ek wil apart wees want ek hoor geraas anders as my mede burgers. Ek wil anders ruik en eet as hulle. Ek wil nie partytjie hou soos hulle nie en glo nie kinders moet gebore word uit twee verskillende rasse nie, maar dit maak nie dat ek ander rasse haat of op hulle neer kyk nie. Rasse verskil en elkeen het sy eie wyshede. Ons het een planeet en moet die suurstof water en kos op die planeet deel. Ek glo God het ons almal geskape en ons kan kies hoe ons wil glo. Dis nie vir ons om ander mense te oordeel nie.

Nou kom ons keer terug na oom Clive toe. 

He spent nineteen years as a volunteer in the South African Citizen Force and became the youngest ever commanding officer of the Witwatersrand Rifles Regiment, affiliated with the Cameronians. He was awarded the John Chard Medal for long and meritorious service. 

Dit is hier waar ek vandag gaan afsluit en julle los om bietjie kop te krap hier oor. Die Afrikaner was nog nooit in beheer van sy eie toekoms nie. Nie al was ons trots Konserwatief nie. 

Ek Groet Julle

Kyk so n bedremmelde gesig het ek nog nooit gesien nie en nou moet julle mooi verstaan sy Ouma is nie deur die Wit Wolf met n Sambok geslaan nie. Nee hy is met die maan gepla oor ons as witmense ons wit gawe gebruik om hulle op die bek te boks. Foeitog nou kry die arme nuus wolwe die skuld. Nee pappie jy moet nou glad nie jouself verwar wie die mense is wat die ANC hoofstuk vir hoofstuk uitmekaar haal nie. Jy kan mos weet wie ons is. Ons praat al lankal hier oor maar jou se ore sit mos in jou se gat. 

Hoe het jy gedink gaan die Dikgat Oom nou maak. In my donker hoekie sit en bang wees vir jou. Kak man. Ek is glad nie bang vir jou nie. In my jong dae het ons manne so 4000 tot 5000 van julle aangevat met niks anders as n buffel vol bakstene nie. Dan het 8 van ons moederlose wesies wat moes staan en toe kyk hoe jou antie se sokker span mense lewendig aan die brand steek soos n vark braai, maar ons mag fokkol gedoen het nie. Ou Constant was so bang ons meng in hulle het al ons skiet goed uit gereik sonder ammunisie, Gedink dit gaan boer seuns laat sit en kyk hoe onskuldige nursie gebrand word. Nee my moer man... dit werk nie so nie ... nie eers op 'n pay day Vrydag nie.

...Maar kyk pappie kon jou pa en ma gat skoon maak. Hel die hele Hebron se vlaktes was vol on paar skoene gewees soos hulle gat getap het as ons hulle onder die klip gesteek het. Nie eers gejoedel of die Soweto opskop gedoen nie. Net gat skoon gemaak. Sommer oor die lemmetjies draad. Asof dit van Piesang blare gemaak is. Nou loop julle te koop ons was sis wreed of so wreed. Kak man laat die oom jou nou mooi vertel ... Ons GAAN die ANC vernietig. Julle GAAN almal tronk toe gaan en Winnie gaan straks nie oud genoeg word om mediese parool te vra nie.

Hierdie storie wat julle die opgebergde rykdomme wat ons julle gelos het uit hoer en remoer by Chings se horing bordele is nie nice nie man. Dan gee julle nog jou ongebore agter kleinkinders op as slawe by die Guptas. Fok pel julle jaag darem nou kak aan. Ek kan nie verstaan jy lyk so geskok oor die hele afvere nie. Het jy regtig vir Julis Malema geglo dat hy 'n witman kan bang praat van agter n mikrofoon uit. Nee man ... hel ... dit vat meer as dit om my engine gerev te kry. So loop koop vir jou n boek of iets en gaan speel met jouself. Die grootmense het 'n land om te bou en kinders om skool toe te stuur.

Groete

Genocide Watch - Op Die Plaas

Genocide Watch

White Genocide Watch

Ek was lank laas in minder as 'n 140 karakters so verneder, maar ek sien dit al n paar jaar kom. Hierdie valse gemors wat deur verveelde Hollandse Afgetrede Onderwyser by gehou word is vandag in my gesig terug gegooi. Laat ons net onthou Verwoerd was ook 'n Hollander en ook 'n Onderwyser. Pre en Post Rassisme loop nog diep in my, maar dis nie wit of swart ding nie. Dit gaan oor idiotisme en dom mense.

Dear Xolani,

I take the time to expand your vision beyond the 140 character world you have confined yourself into. I understand that being from the previously disadvantaged racial group that now have overpopulated earth beyond its sustainability threshold that you do have a genetic disadvantage over white priviledge who maintain breeding levels within the sustainability of a healthy living lifestyle and resource availability.

The Fact is sire ... I only deal in facts and you should have extended your brain a little beyond the 140 character mentality before you accused me of all the stuff you did. At the expense of your integrity sir, I will now proof to you beyond reasonable doubt that Racial Genocide is committed by the ANC Government of South Africa. I hope you will cede your judgmental attitude towards white male South Africans for telling the truth.

Genocide is the systematic ... wait I do have Google ... I know how to use it and read beyond 140 characters. 

Source WikiPedia PDF Source
"Genocide is the intentional action to destroy a people (usually defined as an ethnic, national, racial, or religious group) in whole or in part. The hybrid word is a combination of génos ("race, people") and -cide ("to kill").^[1] The United Nations Genocide Conventiondefines it as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".^[2][3]"

^{Now that we have establish a point of reference. We shall find the ANC's view on this.}

The Witkruismonument outside Polokwane,
a series of crosses erected in memory
of murdered South African farmers.^[19]

The ANC's Freedom Charter clearly states that All Races in South Africa will be treated equal under the law. If This is truly the case we can view it that Farm Murders is as much as a crime as they treated the Boeremag then we as the white population of South Africa would not be offended by our President singing struggle songs. But because of the White Blame cheap politicians are deploying we, The Whites, cannot ignore the fact that black murderers are violent and bloodthirsty and none of our Members of Parliament speak out against it we have no other alternative as to adopt the mentality that the ANC is committing and instigating Racial Genocide.

This and the ANC's failure to establish post Apartheid Educational Centres to accommodate the needs of the previously disadvantaged black population now intellectual person can make any other deduction that the ANC Government and Members of Parliament is busy with a systematic plan to extinguish White Afrikaans South Africans although we are by way of example the only people in the World ever caring for the disenfranchised black person for as far back as the Settlers. This despite the fact that the settlers has freed black people from various enslavement by Colonialism and other Populist groups.

Now if you tell me I believe in a myth that White Genocide is not happening you should extend your life to beyond the 140 Characters of Twitter.
