Look to South Africa
Look to South Africa
 | By Erik Rush (Bio and Archives) Saturday, March 2, 2013 Comments | Print friendly | Subscribe | Email Us |
In
my view, the most frustrating phenomenon relative to the reign of
President Barack Obama is the unreserved sycophantic dedication held for
him by the media. Indeed, a plethora of actions taken by his
administration should have been enough to have him voted out of office,
impeached, or indicted by now, but he has been shielded by the press and
lionized by the entertainment media.
The intellectual dishonesty and outright duplicity of the press is
not restricted to on-air deceptions regarding Obama, or even domestic
issues. The aggregate compromise of America’s representation globally is
being misrepresented, as are international events.
One of the most tragic and dramatic examples of this is the transformation that has taken place in the Republic of South Africa since the end of minority white governance in 1994. “Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America From Post-Apartheid South Africa”
by author and columnist Ilana Mercer reveals not only how the conceit
of Western liberal elites served to bring down one of the most
prosperous nations in the West, but how the same motivations and methods
are at work in America’s decline.
Mercer was born in South Africa, and her father was a staunch and
active opponent of the policy of apartheid; it is for this reason that
her family was forced to leave in the 1960s. She returned in the 1980s,
and now bears witness to how Marxists and liberal elites worldwide
conspired to destroy this nation under the pretext of Social Justice.
And we thought that when Apartheid ended, so would this kind of behaviour. What kind of grudge could Black cops have against Black taxi drivers?—Online comment on news report of police publicly executing a taxi driver, Daveyton, South Africa, Feb. 28, 2013
When Ilana Mercer and I were growing up thousands of miles apart, of
course the international contention over South Africa’s policy of
apartheid was one of the most potent ongoing media issues. It is true
that the practice was racist by definition, but what most Americans do
not understand is that it came about due to cultural rather than racial
incompatibilities, and events since the advent of black rule bear this
out.
Since the inception of black rule in South Africa, it has become one of the most violent countries in the world, and has even been compared to Iraq and Colombia by journalists. “Cannibal’s Pot” describes a South Africa
that is dysfunctional from top to bottom, a street thug’s paradise, and
a nightmare for law-abiding citizens. Those Afrikaners (whites) who
could not afford to leave or were not inclined to do so have been forced
into gated communities; those who could not afford that have
essentially become “fair game.”
Farmers in rural areas have suffered the worst. Far from organized
law enforcement hubs (which have become pitifully ineffectual anyway),
farmers are at the worst risk for home invasions at the hands of some of
the most brutal and sadistic marauders one can imagine.
Most Americans are also not aware that the African National Congress
(ANC), the organization that opposed South Africa’s government in the
decades before the end of apartheid, and which took power in 1994, is
communistic by nature. As “Cannibal’s Pot” illustrates, many of the
foundational democratic principles that had been written into law when
the nation came about have since been stripped away. One of these is the
concept of personal property, which is now scarcely recognized.
The Amendments to the Criminal Procedures Act demand that, in the course of adjudicating cases of “private defense,” the right to life (the aggressor’s) and the right to property (the non-aggressor’s) be properly balanced.—“Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons for America From Post-Apartheid South Africa,” page 29.
Sound familiar? This is the same sort of social philosophy that has
crept into jurisprudence in the U.S., and which has made most of its
major cities criminal havens, “gun-free” though they may be.
The reason that the story of South Africa’s fundamental
transformation has essentially been spiked by the American press is
threefold. One is that liberals don’t like to acknowledge (let alone advertise)
that blacks are just as capable of oppression and atrocity as whites.
Black-on-black crime has exploded in South Africa, and the liberal press
eschews discussing this at least as much as they do the discussion of
black-on-black crime in America as a result of liberal-socialist
policies.
Two, is that this is South Africa; in the mind of liberals, the
Afrikaners “have it coming” for decades of oppressing black Africans.
Infantile, but wholly accurate.
Number Three is the most important. This lies in the fact that global
socialist power players fear that if Americans knew the story depicted
in “Cannibal’s Pot,” they might recognize the same methodology being
replicated in their own country. They would realize that the same
liberal elites who sold out Europe, South Africa, and Rhodesia are selling out America, and that these oligarchical collectivists have no regard for justice or even prosperity – just power.
A friend of mine has been traveling and doing business in South Africa
for years. In 2005, he became friendly with a black employee in a
service-related industry. This man was guarded in is discussions of social issues
at first, but became quite open and friendly after a few days. He and
my friend had long conversations, and at one point he told my friend
that he wished apartheid was still in place.
My friend reports that he almost fell off of his chair. “Growing up
in New Jersey,” he related, “I was kind of brainwashed in how horrible
and evil the [white] South Africans were. Here was a black man telling me he wishes it was the way it used to be.”
“How can you say such a thing?” I asked him.
He responded, “Because it was safe…”
Comments
Erik Rush is a New York-born columnist,
author and speaker who writes sociopolitical commentary for numerous
online and print publications. In February of 2007, Erik was the first
to break the story of President (then Senator) Barack Obama’s ties to
militant Chicago preacher Rev. Jeremiah Wright on a national level,
which ignited a media firestorm that smolders to this day. His latest
book, “Negrophilia: From Slave Block to Pedestal ~ America’s Racial Obsession,”
examines the racist policies by which the political left keeps black
Americans in thralldom, white Americans guilt-ridden and yielding, and
maintains the fallacy that America remains an institutionally racist
nation. Links to his work are available at Erikrush.com.

Jennifer Rush is in Cape Town
 |
Jennifer Rush, one of music's most enduring
names, is heading for South Africa! She will perform two concerts in
Cape Town on the 26th and 27th April at The Cape Town Convention Centre.
Fans
will remember this dynamic performer with her potent voice for such
memorable hits as 'Power of Love', 'Ring of Ice', 'Madonna’s Eyes' and
'Flames of Paradise', 'Never say Never', 'Ave Maria', 'Tears in the
Rain' and many more.
She’s an evergreen who has been going strong for more than three decades and shows no signs of slowing down.
Asked about what fans can expect from her concerts, she replied: “I will be performing many of my hits. I will be bringing my own band and two back up vocalists with me. They too are very excited to be coming to South Africa. I actually asked my South African friends and their acquaintances which songs they think South Africa would like – aside, of course, from hit songs - and I think we have come up with a great song list, which will even include a few songs from the last CD, ‘Now Is The Hour.'" Both nights start at 8pm |

Victoria Falls
http://www.we-are-wilderness.com/gallery/690-victoria-falls
In 1855, David Livingstone became the first European to lay eyes upon
Mosi-oa-Tunya ("the smoke that thunders"), the astonishing waterfall on
the border between present-day Zimbabwe and Zambia. He promptly renamed
it Victoria Falls in honor of England’s queen. In 1862 British artist
and explorer Thomas Baines visited the Falls and created lushly rendered
paintings of the site. These works were exhibited, published as
chromolithographs, and made into lantern slides. A proliferation of
images spread the fame of the Falls throughout Britain.
The railway reached Victoria Falls in 1905, enabling Britain to impose imperial rule in the area and making the Falls a popular destination for British travelers. Advertising replaced ominous images of "Darkest Africa" with the attractions of "Brightest Africa." Victoria Falls was marketed as "the World’s Riviera," a destination for "tourists, sportsmen, invalids, and settlers."
first time since 1968 Vic Falls smokes again

Blitsvinnig
Jy lê in ’n kar wat soos ’n vegvliegtuig lyk en teen ’n topsnelheid van 1 690km/h kan ry, en rem met behulp van ’n valskerm.
Dié vaartbelynde projektiel versnel van 0 tot 1 000km/h in 42 sekondes, dis heelwat vinniger as jou oorle skoonpa se Cortina.
Die Bloodhound- supersoniese kar (SSC) is ’n blitsryding wat deur ’n vuurpylenjin én ’n straalspuitenjin aangedryf word. Die straalspuitenjin gebruik ’n Formule 1-enjin as ’n brandstofpomp om hom van 800liter peroksied-brandstof binne 20 sekondes te voorsien.
En nou gaan dié meneer die landspoedrekord in 2013 aanvat. Nagenoeg 6000 ton se klippe is op Hakskeenpan in die Noord-Kaap verwyder om ’n 19 km lange renbaan voor te berei.
Die Britse ingenieur en projekbestuurder, Richard Noble, sê dat die Bloodhound nuwe standaarde in aërodinamika en spoedtoetse gaan stel. “Ons beproef die uiterstes van tegnologie en ingenieurswese met die Bloodhound. Dis die soort projek wat nuwe ingenieurs en ontwerpers gaan inspireer.”
Noble was self ’n jaagduiwel en het in 1983 en 1997 onderskeidelik twee landspoedrekords aangeteken.
As jy hierdie naweek in Kaapstad se V&A Waterfront is, kan jy self dié pappie van alle snelmotors gaan ry... oftewel 'n nabootser.
Klik hier vir die video
Die sneltoetse op Hakskeenpan – 45km suidwes van Twee Rivieren in die Kgalagadi-oorgrenspark – behoort teen vroeg 2014 voltooi te wees.

The Sun
Sun Primer : Why NASA Scientists Observe the Sun in Different Wavelengths
www.nasa.gov/
Taking a photo of the sun with a standard camera will provide a familiar image: a yellowish, featureless disk, perhaps colored a bit more red when near the horizon since the light must travel through more of Earth's atmosphere and consequently loses blue wavelengths before getting to the camera's lens. The sun, in fact, emits light in all colors, but since yellow is the brightest wavelength from the sun, that is the color we see with our naked eye -- which the camera represents, since one should never look directly at the sun. When all the visible colors are summed together, scientists call this “white light.”
Specialized instruments, either in ground-based or space-based telescopes, however, can observe light far beyond the ranges visible to the naked eye. Different wavelengths convey information about different components of the sun's surface and atmosphere, so scientists use them to paint a full picture of our constantly changing and varying star.
Yellow light of 5800 Angstroms, for example, generally emanates from material of about 10,000 degrees F (5700 degrees C), which represents the surface of the sun. Extreme ultraviolet light of 94 Angstroms, on the other hand, comes from atoms that are about 11 million degrees F (6,300,000 degrees C) and is a good wavelength for looking at solar flares, which can reach such high temperatures. By examining pictures of the sun in a variety of wavelengths – as is done through such telescopes as NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) and the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) -- scientists can track how particles and heat move through the sun's atmosphere.
This collage of solar images from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) shows how observations of the sun in different wavelengths helps highlight different aspects of the sun's surface and atmosphere. (The collage also includes images from other SDO instruments that display magnetic and Doppler information.)
