Eheke - pain yes! but we remember our heroes

Today, October 27th, 1977 the South African recces (reconnosaince) and 32 Bn fought one of the most grueling battles in African history againts communist oppression.

We remember all those who fought bravely despite the losses we had. No air support or artillery against as much as 700 of the enemy - Swapo and Cubans - who had been well dug in and armed with heavy artillery and rockets.

Read an eyewitness account and also a shortened Afrikaans version.

Shame on the Anglo-Boer War museum!

On Friday I traveled 550 km (330 miles) to visit the Museum...

You could have guessed it, it was closed on account of maintenance, a neat little notice decorating the gates and acrid fumes emerging from the locked doors. There was nobody in sight to complain to. Dang!, it would have been nice to know the place was closed down, but this is so typically what has become of the administration in South Africa.

I checked the web site an hour before I left town and on coming back I did so again: NO WARNING posted there. What is the good of a web site you may ask. Hell if I know...

I can only hope this happens to visitors to Freedom Park too, that would only be culturally fair, don't you think?

Oh Sanlam, Sanlam, what a weird lot you are!

The dust had not settled after Sanlam had donated our hard earned money to the ANC (and smaller consolation prizes) for voting campaigns, then this odd bit comes up:

Sanlam cancelled a planned hunting expedition after receiving complaints from animal rights organisations.

Feel free to drop Sanlam a line on this: life@sanlam.co.za

The ANC teaches your children these are STRUGGLE Heroes...

Come to grips with some perspective on the South African so called struggle heroes:

Cynic - The Truth Hurts: "LIBERATION STRUGGLE HEROES" AND WHAT THE "LIBERATION STRUGGLE" ACTUALLY AMOUNTS TO.

Never believe a criminal with a gun, they LIE!

• Before she died, Butz talked to a neighbor, Albert Barrientes, saying of the attacker: "He told us if we did what he asked us to do, he wouldn't hurt us. He lied, he lied." (end of quote)

My contribution: NEVER believe a policeman who tells you to offer no resistance! Not even if he is the Director of Central Firearms Registry in South Africa, Jaco Bothma!

Here is a quote from the Journal of Quantitative Criminology:

• "Armed resistance is more effective than unarmed resistance, and resistance with a gun, though relatively rare, is the most effective victim response of all."

The above statement was made after analyzing 4500 incidents. I read somewhere that 99% of incidents where victims had been confronted at gun point AND resisted on equal terms, came to NO harm and successfully defended lives and property.

South African Gun Owners At The Cross Roads

by
Larry Pratt

Above is a photo taken at the launch of GOSA. From the left, Abios Khoele (Black Gun Owners Association of South Africa), Larry Pratt (Gun Owners of America) and Charl van Wyk (Gun Owners of South Africa).

There is a new pro-gun, pro-self defense organization in South Africa, and none too soon. Gun Owners of South Africa (GOSA) was publicly launched on January 26 in Cape Town. It was my pleasure to be on hand for the auspicious event.

South African officials, including Safety and Security Minister Charles Nqakula just days before the GOSA launch, made it clear that the purpose of the new law requiring reapplication for gun licenses was to disarm the public of all legal guns. Nqakula should know since his Ministry is in charge of administering the Firearms Control Act.

This was revealed during the launch by the head of Black Gun Owners of South Africa (BGOSA), Abios Khoele. Khoele electrified the nearly all-white audience with his call to action. Having put to rest that anybody -- white or black -- could expect to get a renewal for their gun license, Khoele challenged the whites to work with BGOSA in a campaign of massive civil disobedience to get the government to back off.

The socialist government of the African National Congress is concerned about the growing talk that the over 2,500,000 licensed gun owners in South Africa are close to, or beyond the point of, giving up. As a result, gun owners are coming to see that the government wants to disarm them, so they are seriously talking about not bothering to reapply for a license.

With talk of non-compliance already in the air, Khoele's remarks brought the audience at the GOSA launch to an excited pitch. Khoele pointed out that blacks saw how the ANC came to power, and that BGOSA was prepared to use the same lessons of civil disobedience against the ANC.

Black Gun Owners of South Africa has already put feet to that claim. Last year, BGOSA gathered more than 8,000 blacks outside the government buildings in the South African capital of Pretoria. When threatened with arrest, Khoele invited the black police to do to a black crowd what the white Apartheid police had done to blacks. No arrests were made.

If Khoele were to repeat last year's demonstration with the addition of a large contingency of whites, the gun grabbers of South Africa would be hard pressed to continue.

The biggest danger could come at that point. A few days prior to the GOSA launch, I saw how capably the government attempts to shift the frame of the debate. The idea is to set the terms so that "You lose, I win."

I was on the stage at a GOSA conference near Johannesburg when a chief of police arrived (late) to take part in the conference. There are seven metro police districts in South Africa. Robert McBride, the chief of the Ekurhuleni Metro near Johannesburg, put on a masterful, but unsuccessful demonstration of how to neutralize one's opponent.

McBride, an ANC member, told the attendees that they all had to stop talking past each other. He continued that the gun control debate was not an ideological issue, just one of how to best implement the relicensing law. He added that it was not helpful to keep comparing gun control in South Africa to what had led up to the genocides in Rwanda, Cambodia and Hitler's Germany. Such talk prevents him and others in the ANC who support gun ownership from defending licensed gun owners. (Yeah, right!)

I actually met many gun owner activists in South Africa who had read Confrontational Politics by GOA's founder and chairman, retired California state Senator H.L. Richardson. People who have read and begun to apply the lessons of Richardson's book are not likely to fall for the rhetorical traps of the likes of Chief McBride. Certainly those at the GOSA conference who heard Chief McBride were not buying (with perhaps a couple of exceptions).

But other gun owners in South Africa are convinced that they can "make the law work." In talks with the government they have been trying to carve out at least an exception for their own particular fraternity within the larger gun owning population. The government is playing them along to divide and conquer. What these gun owners do not understand is that the government is dead serious about disarming ALL legal gun owners.

After the meeting I learned that Chief McBride was quite the expert in criminal activity. As an ANC operative before the Apartheid government was replaced by the ANC, Robert McBride bombed a bar in the tourist area of Durban, killing three young women. After the ANC took over, McBride was arrested in Mozambique on gun running charges. He was released after sitting in jail for a couple of months. Now he is a chief of police.

I can foresee that if Abios Khoele, along with GOSA, and say, white farmers, are successful in getting the ANC government to cry "uncle," the tactics employed by McBride at the GOSA conference would be attempted again. The ANC will say something such as, "Hey, you guys don't have to shut down Pretoria. Besides, if you don't stop doing that, you will just hurt your cause. Look, everybody take a deep breath, your thousands all go home, and we'll talk."

Of course, the only answer at that point from gun owners has to be, "Talk about what? About how fast you are going to get rid of the Firearms Control Act?"

The government's justification for targeting the guns of licensed gun owners is that gun owners have been too careless, and they have been the source of all the illegal guns in South Africa. However, none of the government types can explain why illegal guns are now more plentiful in England after the 1997 confiscation of almost all registered guns in the country. There simply are no legal gun owners left to blame, yet the police estimate that there are some 3,000,000 illegal guns in England. ("Only" 1,500,000 firearms were confiscated in 1997.)

As in the United States, gun banners are simply unwilling (and unable) to deal with the mountains of data that disprove their arguments. Maybe they are really not concerned about crime after all. If that is the case, maybe we are getting close to understanding why they don't want opponents to keep bringing up countries where gun control led to confiscation and was then followed by genocide. Do you suppose that is what terrorist-now-police-chief McBride has in mind when he wants no talk of Hitler and Pol Pot?

7de Laan - Denigrating Afrikaans speaking whites

One of the most famous Afrikaans "sepies" (soaps) is "7de Laan" (7th Avenue)

I can not improve on this blog...

Why do you still watch this crap? Maybe we are as dumb as they portray us!

Joyce Meyers and the likes...

So, you have come across this blog and you're curious. Something might have stirred your interest or questions about the so called "Dr." Joyce Meyers... Well, keep on reading. (OR click on the X in the upper right corner now!)

Am I bashing Evangelists? By no means, some are not evangelists and besides, they bash themselves by the fruit they bear!

Her path is glittered with the lavish self enriching lifestyle of the Jewish and other fraternities getting rich from poor souls seeking refuge and salvation in today's turmoil in all places except the one God who promised it for free to His offspring.

Is it strange that successful Evangelists like Hinn, Hagin, Du Plantis, Wilkerson, Copeland and others share the same characteristics?

Is Angus Buchan in South Africa walking the same path? You be the judge of it all...

Please read about many so called evangelists, most having ties or close friendships with Jewish anti-Christian organizations and the Freemasons. Such a prominent person was Robert Schuller.

Beware!



I may update this blog entry at a later stage.

Cuito Cuanavale - last word not spoken

The battle of Cuito Cuanavale will forever haunt the minds of those Marxists who claim victory despite their massive losses in Angola.

Background: In short, South Africa tried to stem the tide of Marxist influence in southern Africa and with the moral support of the USA and some Western countries it was seen as the politically right thing at the time. South Africa (SADF) had to walk it alone, no open support from Western countries and all arms, ammunition and training were self devised amidst arms embargoes. Then, at the summit of scores being settled and Cuba losing the battle, America decided to turn against South Africa and demanded withdrawal...

Fidel Castro used this vacuum of declaring victory and pursuing matters to his benefit. Today this boldens the enemy and Communists/Marxists to believe they "won" the battle.

The facts from a SAInfantry source:

Cuban/ MPLA combat losses:

• 94 Tanks
• 100 Armoured troop and combat vehicles
• 34 BM21/BM14 MRLs
• 15 Artillery, rocket and missile systems
• 9 MiG21/23 combat aircraft
• 9 Helicopters
• 4785 Personnel accounted for

South African losses:

• 3 Tanks
• 5 Infantry fighting vehicles
• 5 Radars
• 1 Mirage F1 fighter aircraft
• 1 Light reconnaissance aircraft
• 31 Personnel

My message to all my fellow patriots: Soldiers ("bittereinders") black and white, who fought and slain the enemy. Do not allow the spirit of courage, perseverance, boldness and determination taint the taste of victory in your hearts. We are responsible for keeping the flame alive and upholding the pride we once knew.

Our challenge: Like the black soldiers of 32 rotting away in appalling conditions at Pomfret, their white counterparts face a more psychological battle every day, forced to be silent and dealing with pent up emotions and a million questions unanswered by the treacherous poiliticians who had not been worthy of the positions they held. Rise to the occasion and never forget the taste of victory, tell your family and your children, that deep inside us there is a Spirit much bigger and stronger than the forces deployed against us. Stand tall and be proud! I salute you!

South Africa - funny, not so funny!

Above is our vigilant task force fighting crime on our roads, where criminalizing speed offences weigh far more than a dilapidated unroadworthy vehicle with no brakes carrying up to 30 passengers for a vehicle certified for 10 passengers.

Funny, or should one rather revert to words like "contrast" or "ironic"? You be the judge, I am no linguist.

Seen here is Jacob Zuma, president of the ANC as well as soon to be president of South Africa. He is well known for saying AIDS can be avoided by taking a shower after unprotected sex and he was charged with corruption and several other charges had been dropped against him under pressure from the ANC. Millions of dollars had been involved in the arms deal several years ago.

Jacob Zuma is the ANC's strategy to unite the Zulu and Xhosa people. Zuma being a Zulu and the ANC having its roots firmly in Xhosa origins. These nations had been at war continually in the past. The "war" seems to have been substituted by loitering lately...

Mandela - Martyr or terrorist?

"Nelson Mandela spent 1964 to 1982 incarcerated in the maximum security prison on Robben Island, then moved to Pollsmoor Prison in Cape Town and finally to Victor Verster Prison near Paarl. Mandela's reputation grew steadily during his prison years, and he was often looked up to by fellow inmates. The government often offered Mandela a pardon if he would settle down in Transkei, but P.W. Botha offered the pardon only if Mandela agreed to denounce violence. Mandela's steadfast refusal to compromise his political position to obtain freedom, made him a leading symbol of the anti-apartheid movement." Quote

Mandela: Charged with being the head of a terrorist organization and in control of the arsenal to be used for terrorist activities. Responsible for planning and implementing bombing campaigns. Widely accepted to still be in charge of the organization while in prison and OK'd a bombing campaign that blew innocent people to bits. Quite rightly by anyones standards sent to prison for a long time. He refused to denounce violence in exchange for release. Still refused to denounce violence and released anyway by a weak regime under international 'Hypocrisy' pressure. The death toll under the ANC in Africa is practically genocide. His story must warm the hearts of every terrorist out there. (adapted from source)

All he had to do was denounce violence and he was a free man in South Africa! He chose not to.

If you had a loved one blown to bits or maimed for life by the ANC it would be pretty galling to see world leaders and do-gooders licking his ass on TV. You know, like one day when Bin Laden is on TV as some elder statesman of Afghanistan, the armed struggle against the Zionists has become a celebrity cause and those twin towers have slipped into history...

South Africa - voting by the minority

On the 22nd of April 2009 South Africa was joyously partaking of their 4th "Free democratic" election to change the social scene.

"Free and democratic" if you belong to the population group who could not vote prior to 1994 and who progressed under white rule to the point where they escaped all the tragedies of the dark continent of Africa to the north. Disease, poverty, illiteracy, droughts, famine and war to name a few.

The ANC has a socialist/communist philosophy and "own" the hearts and minds of 80% of the black voters in this country. They still epitomize the freedom struggle for black voters. Something which will not be changed by any of the bickering antics of the other members of the political tapestry. Way down on the list of popularity, the Jewish DA (Democratic Alliance) monopolizes the white vote and make little inroads into the black potential. Third comes COPE (Congress of the People) which is a splinter group of the ANC and made slight inroads into black voting potential and gained marginally from white voters. I won't even mention some of the other less significant political groups fighting for a one seat representation in parliament.

In the USA of America a black president was elected and the celebrations had hardly died down here when it was time to vote. Africans see the role of the black president as that of a Messiah and many articles appeared voicing the expectations of Africa laying claim to the financial wealth sustained by American tax payers. Black morale is elevated to new heights on the local as well as international scenes.

Against this background, white voters are coaxed into the voting system to lend legitimacy to the whole process. If you vote, you approve of the following:

• Distribution of your wealth by by either taxing means or laying claim to your property in a legal but unfair manner.

• Plans are being made to lay claim to your home to be inhabited by people to whom the government can not honor their own promises regarding housing schemes for the poor and homeless.

• Local governments divide budgets for services like electricity, water, sanitation etc into the number of predominantly white inhabitants of towns, while no collection of funds from black towns are necessary to make the budget meet demands.

• Our local schools still running as an Afrikaans medium school, are turned into English or double medium schools overnight. No local (parental) participation is allowed or taken into consideration.

• Whites being excluded from work opportunities just because of their skin color while most young - of all colors - entering the labor market had not been part of the "apartheid" era?

• There is no policy in South Africa to manage population growth. Whites have families of 1 to 3 kids, while the black population average something like 5-8 kids per home, or should I say for one couple? It is known that blacks do not practice monogamy.

If this is shocking I seriously advise you to take stock and get the facts.

Do you need more reasons why I do not vote to be part of legitimizing being pushed out onto a sidewalk, while my tax contribution is still good to oil the wheels of government and fund all these unrealistic schemes?

Fair and democratic? My ass!
