South Africa: De Klerk slams 'Afro-pessimists'

Don't you just love it when Pink F-wit de Klerk acts all manly and in control, defending his Black ANC brothers who he sold South Africa to for his 30 pieces of silver and a Nobel Peace Prize?

Yeah, he's REAL tough, old de Klerk. So tough was he that he was too busy shagging his new Greek mistress to worry about how Liberal sell-out Roelfie Meyer was negotiating the country away right beneath our noses.

And today, after nearly 20 years of South Africa suffering under the rule of a bunch of liberation terrorists, he comes out from under his rock to once again stand up for President Jacob Zuma - against the mood of the country. According to Pink F-wit de Klerk, South Africa is doing just great - thanks for asking! Why, under the ANC the country has grown in leaps and bounds and nothing is wrong with anything. And anyone not supporting the great ANC South Africa government are just "Afro-pessimists"!

Really?

So, yeah, I'm not sure under which rock old Pinkie has been hiding, but the South Africa of today is not doing too well. It's kinda sick.

See Frikkie, if it was going all sunshine and roses - as it would seem to be doing in only your safe part of the world - then South Africa wouldn't have an unemployment rate of over 25%. The youth unemployment wouldn't be nearly 60%. The dollar/rand wouldn't be over R9-40. The high crime rates wouldn't be occurring; South Africa wouldn't be the  rape capital of the world; nearly 4000 farmers wouldn't have been brutally murdered; nearly 100 000 murdered White people would still be alive; the ANC wouldn't be stealing over R40 BILLION a year from the tax payers; the Gupta's wouldn't be landing their private planes on a military base; there wouldn't be continuous labour strikes crippling the economy; productivity would be up; and there wouldn't be White shanty towns, full of White people who have been excluded and barred from the job market.

I could go on and on, but I'm on a time limit here.

So, F-wit, it's time for you to front the South African people - the White South African people - you know, those people who you sold out. It's time to stop hiding behind your foundation and putting out ridiculous statements which you know to be untrue. It's time for you to stop only attending black-tie events, away from the wrath of the general public, giving speeches to Liberals and Black BBEEE beneficiaries, who give you a warm handshake and a slap on the back. 

Yes Frikkie - you coward - it's time to come face to face with the White people of South Africa, in a forum where they can ask you some very important questions, and where you can repeat this rubbish you spout in a place where a person can challenge your insane mumblings.

It's one thing to stand up for your Black ANC pals from behind the safety of your fortress walls, while rubbing the back of your rich Greek wife and slurping down the free champagne and caviar. It's quite another thing to say it face to face to the people you stabbed in the back and who suffer now because of your lies.

We are waiting you coward.

Johannesburg - Under-fire President Jacob Zuma got a little support from an unlikely quarter on Tuesday when former president  FW de Klerk laid into the "prophets of doom" putting down the country.

De Klerk said "Afro-pessimists" did not give the country or the continent enough credit for strides made.

De Klerk acknowledged the country faces "serious international perception problems" but said the country had seen 18 years of almost uninterrupted economic growth.

He added that significant steps had been made in alleviating poverty, improving access to housing, water and electricity.

His comment echoes those of Zuma and the ANC, which have come under a barrage of criticism for failing to tackle corruption, labour violence and unemployment.

But De Klerk was not completely gushing about the government's performance.

"We score badly in those areas of national activity that fall under the responsibility of government," he said.

"We are in the bottom 20% with regard to the quality of education; the business cost of crime; HIV prevalence; and labour market efficiency."

But, he added, the government was aware of these problems and had endorsed a National Development Plan to deal with them.

"Africa and South Africa are on the march," he said.

USSA: Senate Judiciary Committee approves immigration overhaul

So, the USA was sold down the river today by "Senators" on the Senate Judiciary Committee, which approved the new immigration bill, which will now go to the Senate for debate in the first week of June. The Senate is Democrat-controlled, so it'll be a mere formality to get the bill passed.

The four weak-kneed Republicans who were on the Gang of Eight, which drew up the bill, gave in to the Liberals on every front during the negotiation process. There were no meaningful reforms built into the new bill to ensure that the problem facing America today won't be even worse in 10 or 15 years time.

Back in 1986, Reagan signed off a similar "reform" after the Democrats assured him they'd stick to their promise to secure the border....he just had to sign the bill first and grant 3 million illegals USA citizenship. Of course it never happened and Reagan regretted falling for the con. And now 25 years later America sits with exactly the same problem again, but this time around there are at least 11 million new illegal immigrants wanting their right to US citizenship - and once again there is no stipulation that the border has to be secured BEFORE the bill is debated in the Senate. 

And once again, the Democrats have crossed their fingers behind their backs, swearing they'll secure the border .....this time....any second............okay, let's be honest, it's never going to happen. 

The low estimate is 11 million illegals, but most people fear it's over 20 million. That means that in a few years time, 20 million new American-hating invaders will get to vote for the next POTUS. And they will vote Democrat - the party of the free stuff and the eternal molly-coddlers of the victimhood seekers.

So, in one foul swoop, the 4 RINO's which made up the Gang of Eight have sold Americans down the river. I wonder how the Founding Father's would feel about the direction America is taking under people who are supposedly Americans? All those in-built Constitutional checks and balances mean nothing when you have traitors within your own ranks in government - on both sides of the aisle. 

And in a few years from now when America is completely destroyed and just another failed, bankrupted third-world country with an identity crisis, Marco Rubio - one of the Gang of Eight - will say he never meant it to happen. That all he wanted was a fair way to incorporate his Hispanic people into the American culture. And it will all be too late.

Except it won't happen will it? Today, after the vote went through, the La Raza Hispanics in the audience chanted “Si Se Puede!”, which roughly translates to "Yes, it can be done!" - a phrase used by labor unions and civil rights organisations. There is no doubt that big money exchanged hands to get this vote through....and the dumb White Americans on the Senate Judiciary Committee clapped each other on the back for a job well done.

Already most of the Hispanics in America refuse to speak English. They think that Americans stole land from them and they refuse to integrate, proudly flying the Mexican flag. And these fools gave them the keys to the country.

How dumb can these RINO's be?? Incredibly it seems. 

This was a shameful day for America.

After three long weeks of hearings and debates, spectators burst out into screams and applause Tuesday night after the Senate Judiciary Committee approved an immigration bill that would be the biggest overhaul to the nation's immigration laws in a generation.

The bill was produced by a bipartisan group of senators known as the Gang of Eight. With four of those members on the committee, the bill survived 212 amendments over five lengthy hearings.

Left intact was the core of the bill, which will allow the nation's 11 million unauthorized immigrants to apply for U.S. citizenship, add significant investments in border security and fundamentally alter the legal immigration system of the future.

The committee approved the bill 13-5, meaning the bill is on track to be debated on the full Senate floor beginning the first week of June.

Some Republicans warned that the amendment process had done little to assuage their fears that they were facing a repeat of 1986, when Congress last passed a sweeping immigration bill that allowed up to 3 million people to gain citizenship, but did not fulfill its promises of fully securing the nation's borders.


"Today, we're right back at the same place talking about the same problems and proposing the same solutions," said Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and the ranking member of the committee.

The committee's chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., said it was not "the bill I would've written," but he called it the best opportunity for immigration reform he's seen in years.

"We've demonstrated to the United States Senate that we can all work together, Republicans and Democrats," Leahy said. "Now let's go out of this room, and work together with the other members of the Senate."

President Obama issued a statement late Tuesday, congratulating the committee for advancing the bill that is "largely consistent with the principles of common-sense reform I have proposed and meets the challenge of fixing our broken immigration system."

"None of the committee members got everything they wanted, and neither did I, but in the end, we all owe it to the American people to get the best possible result over the finish line," the statement read.

Tuesday's vote capped off a grueling, sometimes-emotional trek through the committee where senators voted on everything from visas for displaced Tibetans to the ability of unauthorized immigrants to access government benefits. Sponsors of the bill tried to accept as many Republican amendments as they could to garner their support, while holding off "poison pill" amendments that could scuttle the carefully negotiated bill.

One example came Tuesday, when Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., finished days of negotiations and reached a breakthrough compromise on visas for high-tech workers.

The bill increases the number of H1-B visas that are primarily given to foreigners trained in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields, but Hatch and other Republicans worried that the bill placed too many restrictions on U.S. tech companies trying to hire those workers. Tuesday's agreement requires companies to make a good faith effort to hire Americans for high-skilled technology jobs, but eases some of the hiring requirements originally in the bill.

Hatch called it a "sensible and reasoned balance" that made the final product a "much more acceptable bill."

Sponsors of the bill also found middle ground in the border security debate.

The committee voted down an amendment from Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., to require that all the nation's airports, seaports, and land ports of entry establish a system to collect the fingerprints of all departing foreigners. Republicans, and some Democrats, feel that is the most efficient system to track who has remained in the country after their visas have expired. That is a major concern since 40% of the nation's 11 million unauthorized immigrants fall into that group.

On Monday, the committee accepted a scaled-down version of the program. Under an amendment filed by Hatch, the nation's 10 busiest international airports will have to implement the program within two years, and it will be expanded to the 30 biggest airports within six years.

South Africa: May we never forget...

Monday was the anniversary of the Church Street bombings in Pretoria.

The brave ANC planted a bomb outside the South African Air Force (SAAF) headquarters in Pretoria and was set to go off at the height of rush hour, thereby killing and wounding civilians as well as military personnel. The bomb went off ten minutes earlier than planned, killing the two ANC operatives in the vehicle.

Nelson Mandela admitted in his autobiography that he signed off on the bombings from his prison cell. That makes him a murderer seeing as 19 people died (including the two scum which planted the bomb) and 217 people were injured. Joe Slovo said during the Truth and Reconciliation hearings that Oliver Tambo had authorised the bombing.

Let's never forget what the ANC was and is. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out where South Africa is headed under these terrorists....

And may the innocent RIP.


Hat tip: Nick A

The Church Street bombing was a car bomb attack on 20 May 1983 in Pretoria, authorised by the ANC chief terrorist, Oliver Tambo. Nineteen people, including 10 civilians and two bomb-planters, died in the explosion. Of the 217 people injured, 114 were civilians.

May we never forget this cowardly and ghastly act of terror committed by the ANC!

It sickens me to the core to think that Africa’s largest airport is named after Oliver Tambo and that so many streets and buildings have also been renamed in honour of this terrorist. Even his grave has been declared a National Heritage site!

I suppose there was no moment of silence today in parliament.

A fraud on EU tax payers....

The EU has been wringing its hands about all the taxes they're missing out on and which they can't get their grubby paws on as corporations take advantage of every loophole to not pay more in taxes. Which of course isn't illegal and which the EU wants people to believe is just not fair. I bet.

Nigel Farage, Leader of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), stood up in the EU yesterday and gave them a piece of his mind reminding them that the EU officials don't pay their fair share in taxes either as it's capped at 12% - the most generous taxes on Earth! 

Wish there were more out there like Nigel.

Forward!

This pretty much sums up Obama's presidency so far......

He was sold to America as an intelligent man - yet, he doesn't know what happened in Benghazi; he doesn't know that the IRS was targeting Conservatives, the Tea Party and Churches; and he didn't know anything about his Department of Justice tapping the Associated Press and Fox News phone lines (and whoever hasn't come forward yet), and getting access to emails - both personal and work emails and in some instances, the emails and phone lines of the parents of some of the Fox News journalists.

Obama - the "I know nothing" president with the worst economic recovery ever.....

Do South African whites really ‘have it so good’?

Ag, I'm so tired of having to defend White South Africans from what Blacks try and make us out to be. All the convenient lies - all the nasty propaganda - all against the people who handed them over a fully functioning country. All they had to do was run it properly, not loot or pillage it. What a mess they've made. 

So, Dan Roodt had done the job for me in the article below. 

What more can one add except fok hulle?

In today’s City Press newspaper, Frans Cronjé of the South African Institute of Race Relations claim that whites live in some kind of paradise.

He cites statistics claiming the following:

“Between 1994 and 2012, the rate of unemployment among white people increased from 3% to 5.7%…

The white unemployment rate was low, even when compared to a host of international benchmarks. In the US, for example, the rate in 2012 was 7.6%, in Britain 7.9% and in Canada 7.2%.”

Apparently praising South African white entrepreneurship, he goes on to say that “while a black university graduate is more likely than a white graduate to find a job within 12 months of graduation (due to strict affirmative-action laws-DR), white graduates are four times more likely to start and operate businesses”.

I would treat these statistics about low white unemployment with a great deal of caution. Many whites are not on the unemployment statistics as they do not claim benefits from the government. Driving around many white areas, you notice their old, decrepit cars, lack of maintenance to their properties and other signs of economic distress.

Go to any five-star hotel now and you will find blacks sitting around in designer clothes. The only whites there are foreign tourists. Most cars costing R1 million (about $100 000) and more that I see every day in Johannesburg are owned by blacks, not whites. Blacks get all the lucrative corporate directorships and make easy money as “tenderpreneurs” to the state and municipalities.

I know of thousands of whites who literally had to leave the country to find jobs, in the Middle and Far East where they do dismal work as part-time English teachers or pack groceries in Australian supermarkets.

Many small businesses started by whites have failed, not least because of the racial laws and regulations imposed by government and the corporate sector. The corporate sector – banks and large companies – are now arguably more anti-white than government. They do not trade with white-owned businesses and generally sue or harass small businesses at the drop of a hat. Many whites have lost their homes which the banks require them to pledge as collateral for a simple overdraft for their small businesses.

More whites now live in so-called “informal housing” than at any time since the Great Depression. Solidarity estimates that up to 800 000 whites – educated, literate and previously taxpayers – now live in squatter camps and other “informal areas” such as this one:

We are witnessing the greatest social-engineering programme whereby one race is economically subjugated to another that this country and perhaps the world has ever seen.

The very notion that whites could be “liberated” by such an unfair and racist system is so fundamentally cynical that it has an Orwellian ring to it. But that is why the mainstream media no longer has any credibility among middle-class whites.

The South African media are loyal to foreign and corporate interests who see South African whites as an unwanted presence in the country, preventing them from bribing their way into looting most of the remaining assets in South Africa. That is why the SA mass media are constantly attacking whites, accusing them of racism, “apartheid privilege”, and the like. White males even get blamed for the intense crime and lawlessness in the country! Every white person knows that 99% of the violence is committed by other races, yet we are blamed for everything. If all else fails, there is always ever-increasing “the legacy of apartheid” to blame.

What I find amazing is that Frans Cronjé published two contradictory articles today, one in Rapport and this one in City Press. The one in Rapport, written in Afrikaans and therefore intended for a mainly white audience, shows how 500 000 middle-class taxpayers essentially contribute 50% of all personal taxes in South Africa. White readers of that article would be understandably outraged that, while still contributing a large share of the country’s taxes, they are treated as second-class citizens.

English in South Africa is increasingly the language of blacks and the internationalist whites who are hostile to Afrikaners and the white middle class, for reasons explained in the paragraph above, namely that their ownership of land and role in the judiciary and the accounting profession prevents the wholesale looting of our country. Even though looting is already taking place, there is still some semblance of legality left. Clearly, this has to go.

This article in English about whites is therefore intended for a black and foreign audience, to convince them that South African whites “have never had it so good”. Understandably the very real hostility felt for those dastardly Nazis and perpetrators of a “crime against humanity” will only rise upon reading this article. It will undermine any inchoate sympathy whites enjoy with their less brainwashed brethren in the West and Europe.

The most absurd sentence of all is the following: “(Whites) were liberated, first, from the guilt and pariah status that had been attached to their support and enforcement of apartheid.”

On the contrary, South African whites are now more hated and stigmatised than ever! Over the past twenty years the SABC and the mainstream media have played their quasi-communist propaganda about white evil and viciousness over and over in South Africa. Most of the time this propaganda is literally the work of unreconstructed communists who occupy powerful positions in South Africa, being the “white face” of the ANC government, the SABC and other state agencies. The British media, including the BBC, see us whites as free game now that we are utterly without any political power and lack any form of state support. More
unfair and one-sided news stories have been published and broadcast about us since 1994 than ever before, barring perhaps the 1890s when the Uitlander press and the London newspapers were publishing war propaganda about the Boer republics.

As for white guilt, there is a whole industry meant to inculcate it into us, almost from birth. At school our children are exposed to compulsory subjects such as “Life Orientation” containing political propaganda of the worst kind, meant to persuade them that their parents were all war criminals killing thousands, if not millions, of blacks. In reality, of course, only 500 blacks died at the hands of the SA police from 1948 to 1994, fewer than die every year as a result of police brutality under black rule! However, the foreign whites and media do not write about police brutality anymore because it is now committed by blacks and therefore of no interest.

More than 80 000 whites have been murdered since 1994 and up to a million white women have been raped. Four thousand farmers, their wives and children have been killed, many of them spending their last hours under dehumanising torture.

While all this is going on in the ghoulish present, not a week goes by without newspapers and radio programmes calling for whites to “repent about apartheid”, surrender the meagre assets that they still control or simply leave the country as they “have outstayed their welcome”. People are constantly telling me to “go back to Europe” or “get lost”, even though my forebears came here in the early 1700s.

Apart from racial quotas in education that prevent whites from obtaining a tertiary education, especially in medicine and other fields, an aging white population now endures a third-world system of medical care. Prior to 1994, whites had one of the best healthcare systems in the world, with both a private and a well-managed public hospital system.

Corruption and mismanagement have reduced the public system to a shambles while the costs of private healthcare have gone through the roof. Only the corporate elite can now afford private healthcare. Whites are almost banned from studying medicine by the universities so that their parents and grandparents may just die from neglect in the state hospital system.

Despite being well-educated and hard-working, affirmative action and so-called BEE (black-economic empowerment) have reduced most South African whites to poverty. Their mean income per capita is far less than the minimum wage in many European countries.The following table shows annual per capita income growth from 2001 to 2011 for all racial groups in South Africa:

Source: Moneyweb/SA census

If the R365 134 earned by the average SA white is translated into dollar terms at $40 970, this is way below minimum wage levels in most European countries. However, this very modest white income gets taxed at 40% to fund the megalomaniac dreams of this make-believe government whose only interest is in seeking international prestige while it cannot even mend our roads, nor deliver school books on time. In a real sense, white poverty is caused by government, either through its high taxes or its racially interventionist policies.

This is Frans Cronjé’s “white paradise”!

Picture roundup.........

Didn't have time to post these over the week-end.....

For the boys..........

And finally.........

Sweden: Youths burn 100 cars in north Stockholm riots

A week ago, Swedish police in Husby shot dead a machete-wielding 69-year old man, who was holding a women prisoner in his apartment. Police tried to negotiate with him; and then threw flash grenades when they broke into the apartment - both failed to stop the maniac - so they decided to shoot him. He was fatally wounded.

Tough luck.

Of course, Swedish "youth" decided to riot a week later. The "youth" stewed about the killing, and a full week later decided that now was the time to show their anger. I hope Sweden isn't relying on these "youth" to go to war for them one day - not sure how long they'd need to prepare and stew!

The "youth", which the press refuse to name in fear of telling the truth to the rest of Sweden, is of course Sweden's new diversifiers from the religion of pieces - Muslim youth. 

The "youth" set cars and a parking garage on fire and threw rocks at police. Three police were injured. At least 100 cars were destroyed and a building was damaged and evacuated. The "youth"  also decided to show their anger by vandalising the local shopping centre (as you do when you're upset).

Rami al-Khamisi, leader of Megafonen - a local community-based organization which fights for social justice (i.e. what's yours is mine, what's mine in mine) - said that the riots were a "reaction to police brutality against citizens, our neighbours" and weren't going to end soon.

Al-Khamisi said that the crowd was reacting to a "growing marginalization and segregation in Sweden over the past ten, 20 years" from both a class and a race perspective.  

"Out in the suburbs the majority of people aren't white, and from a political perspective we're seen as a problem that politicians want to solve by sending more police. This is not a solution we agree with," he said.  

"This kind of thing isn't only happening in Husby, it's happening all over Sweden. People are tired of politics not working in our favour, they're tired of the current situation,"  he said.

The poor dear. He doesn't agree with the "growing marginalization and segregation" in Sweden! His fellow "youth" and he are "tired of politics not working in our favour"! 

Hmmmmm......... I wonder if the Swedish people are tired of their new cultural enrichers antics yet? Tired of these "youth" and their constant victim-hood mentality? Tired of having them in their once peaceful White country? Tired of having to put up with failed multi-culturalism, which has only succeeded in producing Muslim ghetto's, full of "tired" youth who are unable to do anything apart from feeling sorry for themselves and living off welfare, paid for by those who they're tired of??

I wonder if the Swedish people were told what would happen to their country when their new "youth" invaders got upset? And if they were told, would they have allowed these "youth" into their country so that they could one day riot, burn private property, and attack police when they decided they were tired of it all?

Would the Swedish people have been quite so compassionate back then if they knew the outcome and the direction their country would take? And that their country would one day be under Muslim control, and full of disgruntled Muslims?

Somehow I doubt it. 

But, I do find it hard to feel sorry for the Swedes. Now they can feel what it's like to live what they preached White South Africans to do all those years ago.

Kry vir julle! (Enjoy!)

Youths rioted in northern Stockholm on Sunday night, setting fire to cars and throwing rocks at police, in what is believed to be a protest against the fatal police shooting of a machete-wielding man in the suburb last week.

"At 10pm we sent out staff to an address in Husby," explained Lars Byström of the Stockholm police to the Dagens Nyheter newspaper.


"My colleagues were met by young people who threw stones at them. It continued with a couple of violent riots and extensive damage."

The riot kicked off when young people set fire to cars in Husby, a suburb in the far north of Stockholm. Witnesses claim at least 100 vehicles in the area were in flames. Another fire was lit in a nearby garage, resulting in the evacuation of the apartment block. Around 50 residents were taken care of and sheltered in buses that were on hand.


The local shopping centre was also vandalized, and three police officers were injured in the fracas. Police estimate that the riots involved somewhere between 50 and 60 youths.

Forty emergency workers from both police and the firefighting service were on hand. 

The protests come in response to a fatal police shooting of a 69-year-old man in Husby last Monday, according to the youth organization Megafonen. The man had been threatening police with a machete before he was shot.

Initially, police told the press that the man had died from his injuries at hospital, but it later emerged that the 69-year-old died at the scene.

Many neighbours questioned why police used such extreme violence to deal with the situation.

"This was an old man with a knife facing a whole gang of specially trained armed police officers. Did they really have to kill him?" a neighbour said to the Aftonbladet tabloid the day after the shooting.

A community-based organization that aims to organize residents of Stockholm's northern suburbs to fight for social justice claimed Sunday night's disturbances started as a "reaction to police brutality against citizens, our neighbours".

"We understand that people react like this," Rami Al-Khamisi from Megafonen said in a statement.

Calm was restored to Husby by 5.30am. Police did not, however, make any arrests. 

"We've not made any arrests, but we'll try to during the day. We'll take a look at security footage and speak with witnesses so we can take legal action against the people who are guilty of crimes," Byström told DN.

Climate slowdown means extreme rates of warming 'not as likely'

Ah, so finally some of those warmist scaremongers hiding in the press are having to swallow their false climate predictions.

For years and years we've been told that the sky is going to fall and the Earth is going to overheat, sizzle and die and man is going to fry.... any day now.....any day.......soon........yeah, any second........keep believing.........

And guess what? Nothing happens. Billions upon billions of $$$$$$ have been poured into research and climate warming studies, and solar panels, and carbon taxes, and "sustainable" energy, and windmills, and geothermal's, and insulation..........and nothing has come of it apart from a few companies getting mighty rich quick, and then going bankrupt.

And all the while, the Earth is still here, doing its thing. Mother Nature's cycles are continuing as they have for millions of years. The sun is still shining, influencing our weather and climate. 

Carbon dioxide has risen.....and despite the rise, NO warming has occurred, contrary to what these mighty clever alarmists have predicted with their outlandish climate models. All they've succeeded in doing is making fools of themselves and proving to the world that their climate models are rubbish.

Yet, governments around the world have invested heavily in this scam. In 2007, newly elected Australian Prime Minister Kevin "the Dud"  Rudd claimed that Climate Change was our biggest moral challenge. Once he was knifed and put out to pasture, Julia Gillard gave us the world's biggest carbon tax instead. And do you know the outcome? Our economy is on the nose-dive, as the effects of this great big crap tax ripples through it, affecting every sector and each business.

And now the BBC has had to admit that that they were wrong. However, as always, they cover their embarrassment by stating that the long-term predicted temperature rises will still come true. Hmmmm.... I wonder how many years "long-term" is to them? Millions of years? Yes, I'm sure their predictions will one day come true - eventually. After all, a faulty clock is right twice a day, too.

In the meantime, people like Al Gore and every other warmist out there, have made their fortunes peddling this global warming scam. Australia's own Climate Change pusher, Tim Flannery said the following about the oceans rising in 1996: 

"Anyone with a coastal view from their bedroom window, or their kitchen window, or whereever, is likely to lose their house as a result of that change, so anywhere, any coastal cities, coastal areas, are in grave danger."

The very next year he bought a water-side property and then bought the one next door 5 years later. Flannery is paid nearly $200 000 per year with our taxes to peddle this rubbish. He also predicted in 2008 that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2013. A few years ago he said that even the rains that fell wouldn't fill Australian dams.....and after nearly every State built expensive de-salination plants, floods ensued everywhere. Every de-sal plant is now mouth-balled apart from Western Australia - and the tax payers will be picking up the tab for the next 20 years.

So you see all these warmists end up doing is looking like idiots.

Keep those predictions coming! I'm sure they will come true one day......soon......any day now........

Get on your iceberg Gore and sail away.....

Scientists say the recent downturn in the rate of global warming will lead to lower temperature rises in the short-term.

Since 1998, there has been an unexplained "standstill" in the heating of the Earth's atmosphere.

Writing in Nature Geoscience, the researchers say this will reduce predicted warming in the coming decades.

But long-term, the expected temperature rises will not alter significantly.


The slowdown in the expected rate of global warming has been studied for several years now. Earlier this year, the UK Met Office lowered their five-year temperature forecast.

But this new paper gives the clearest picture yet of how any slowdown is likely to affect temperatures in both the short-term and long-term.

An international team of researchers looked at how the last decade would impact long-term, equilibrium climate sensitivity and the shorter term climate response.

Climate sensitivity looks to see what would happen if we doubled concentrations of CO2 in the atmosphere and let the Earth's oceans and ice sheets respond to it over several thousand years.

Transient climate response is much shorter term calculation again based on a doubling of CO2.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reported in 2007 that the short-term temperature rise would most likely be 1-3C (1.8-5.4F).

But in this new analysis, by only including the temperatures from the last decade, the projected range would be 0.9-2.0C.


The report suggests that warming in the near term will be less than forecast
"The hottest of the models in the medium-term, they are actually looking less likely or inconsistent with the data from the last decade alone," said Dr Alexander Otto from the University of Oxford.

"The most extreme projections are looking less likely than before."

The authors calculate that over the coming decades global average temperatures will warm about 20% more slowly than expected.

But when it comes to the longer term picture, the authors say their work is consistent with previous estimates. The IPCC said that climate sensitivity was in the range of 2.0-4.5C.

This latest research, including the decade of stalled temperature rises, produces a range of 0.9-5.0C.

"It is a bigger range of uncertainty," said Dr Otto.

"But it still includes the old range. We would all like climate sensitivity to be lower but it isn't."

The researchers say the difference between the lower short-term estimate and the more consistent long-term picture can be explained by the fact that the heat from the last decade has been absorbed into and is being stored by the world's oceans.

Not everyone agrees with this perspective.

Prof Steven Sherwood, from the University of New South Wales, says the conclusion about the oceans needs to be taken with a grain of salt for now.

"There is other research out there pointing out that this storage may be part of a natural cycle that will eventually reverse, either due to El Nino or the so-called Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, and therefore may not imply what the authors are suggesting," he said.

The authors say there are ongoing uncertainties surrounding the role of aerosols in the atmosphere and around the issue of clouds.

"We would expect a single decade to jump around a bit but the overall trend is independent of it, and people should be exactly as concerned as before about what climate change is doing," said Dr Otto.

Is there any succour in these findings for climate sceptics who say the slowdown over the past 14 years means the global warming is not real?

"None. No comfort whatsoever," he said.

Oklahoma Tornado

Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Moore in Oklahoma. The latest death toll stands at 91 people, with over 20 children feared dead when the tornado stuck their school.


Key points

• Tornado struck about 3pm on Monday afternoon (local time) at speeds of up to 320kph.
• 3,000 homes were in the tornado's path.
• Children and teachers are being pulled from the rubble of a school, where more than 20 people are unaccounted for.
• Hundreds of people are still missing.
• 17 counties declared as disaster areas, with the town of Moore (population 55,000) the worst hit.
• Meteorologists estimated the tornado to be 3.2km wide and say it left a path of destruction of about 77 square km.
• Weather services say the EF4 tornado could be upgraded to EF5, the highest possible category.

Here's some video - scary to say the least:

Of course, the usual Left low-life scum bottom-feeders quickly came out of the woodwork to have their say:

And then quickly backtracked when people didn't quite laugh with her:

One Democrat politician, Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse also thought he'd be cute and quickly blamed the tornado on the Republicans for not believing in Global Warming. Except, the BBC has just come out and admitted that there's been no Globull Warming since 1998. 

And the period from May 2012 until April 2013 has been the least-deadly in relation to tornadoes in the USA’s recorded history.

From Watts Up With That website: 

How does that saying go which the Left live by? Oh yes, never let a crisis go to waste. 

However, I'm not sure what the Left is on about. Don't they believe that if they out-law something it will disappear? Like they want to out-law guns and  have crime-free and gun-free zones??

Well Lefties - here's your chance. Just make tornadoes illegal - or declare areas tornado-free zones - and I'm sure they'll stop!

Do white people have a future in South Africa?

You know, I really get angry when I read these types of articles from overseas, where the author thinks he knows what he's talking about. 

Some stupid Brit decided to go to South Africa to answer the following question: Do white people genuinely have a future there. 

Gee, well, thank goodness you decided to brave the elements Mr Simpson and make the trip south to satisfy your morbid curiosity. Lucky for you, you don't have to live in the country, hey!

The article below is from the BBC News website, and the article starts as follows:

"Apartheid South Africa looked after white people and nobody else."

Seriously??
Does this fool know that MOST OF THE WHITE-PAID TAXES went to supporting the Black homelands during Apartheid? The only reason Whites ended up with a decent home and job is because the WHITES worked for it. They went to school - they DIDN'T BURN THEIR SCHOOLS DOWN. They worked hard, paid their taxes and in exchange the government provided them with safe neighbourhoods, away from the Black savages who have wanted to rape, steal and kill them since they met them in the Eastern part of South Africa hundreds of centuries ago.

Today we see exactly what the South African Black is all about. They have reverted to type under their Black leaders. Many indoctrinated young Whites are now seeing exactly why there was such a thing as Apartheid - no, it was not because Whites hated Blacks. It was for self-preservation.

What this idiot doesn't want to acknowledge is that under Apartheid, every race in the country benefited. 

I quote from the wonderful research that Mike Smith has produced:

The Apartheid government built ten Universities for blacks including Medunsa which is a unique medical university that turned out 200 highly qualified black doctors every year all at state costs, paid for by the white taxpayers. It also trained paramedics and nurses.  

Nelson Mandela and countless other blacks managed to become lawyers during Apartheid South Africa.

Since 1970 the budget for black education rose by about 30% per year every year. More than any other government department. 

In the period 1955 -1984 the amount of black school students increased 31 times from 35,000 to 1,096 000. 

65% of black South African children were at school compared to Egypt 64%, Nigeria 57%, Ghana52%, Tanzania50% and Ethiopia 29%. 

Amongst the adults of South Africa, 71% could read and write (80% between the ages 12 and 22). Compare this to Kenya 47%, Egypt 38%, Nigeria 34% and Mozambique at 26%. 

In South Africa, the whites built 15 new classrooms for blacks every working day, every year. At 40 children per class it meant space for an additional 600 black students every day!!! 

In 1985 there were 42,000 Blacks at 5 universities in South Africa, about the same amount at the universities of the homelands. 

In an article called Die Afrikaner 11 Feb 1987, the quarterly magazine called Vox Africana Nr 29 4/87 stated that: South Africa had 4,8 million whites and 18,2 million blacks in 1987. The whites paid 77% of the taxes and the blacks only 15%...despite this...56% of the government budget was spent on blacks.

During the time of Dr. Verwoerd, the living standards of Blacks was rising at 5,4% per year against that of the whites at 3,9% per year. In 1965 the economic growth of South Africa was the second highest in the world at 7,9%. 

The rate of inflation was a mere 2% per annum and the prime interest rate only 3% per annum. Domestic savings were so great that South Africa needed no foreign loans for normal economic expansion. 

Even Lord Deedes admitted, White South Africa grew to become the economic giant of the continent, the other members of the Commonwealth virtually sank into poverty. 

At the height of Apartheid in 1978, Soweto had 115 football fields, 3 Rugby fields, 4 athletic tracks, 11 Cricket fields, 2 Golf courses, 47 Tennis courts, 7 swimming pools built to Olympic standards, 5 Bowling alleys, 81 Netball fields, 39 children play parks, and countless civic halls, movie houses and clubhouses. 

In addition to this, Soweto had 300 churches, 365 schools, 2 Technical Colleges, 8 clinics, 63 child day care centres, 11 Post Offices, and its own fruit and vegetable market. 

There were 2300 registered companies that belonged to black businessmen, about 1000 private taxi companies. 3% of the 50,000 vehicle owners in 1978 were Mercedes Benz owners. Soweto alone had more cars, taxis, schools, churches and sport facilities than most independent countries in Africa. The Blacks of South Africa had more private vehicles than the entire white population of the USSR at the time. 

Today Soweto has modern shopping malls like, Dobsonville Shopping Centre. In 2005 the Protea Gardens Mall opened. This was followed by the Baramall Shopping Centre and the Jabulani Shopping complex and the Maponya Mall. Experts say that Soweto has as much as 25% oversupply of retail space. 

The Canadian Medical Doctor, Dr Kenneth Walker wrote about Soweto, (I freely translate from Verrat an Sdafrika, Klaus Vaque, 1987,pg 41) 

In Soweto I saw many homes that costs about $100,000 (1978) and that had a BMW in the driveway. All houses are single storey. Many are recently painted. Many had flowerpots in the windows and lawn in the front. Only 2% were shacks. If I had the choice to live in Soweto or in the apartment dwellings or Projects of New York, Chicago, or Detroit where there is so much crime, then I would not hesitate for one moment and choose Soweto. 

The biggest hospital in the world, Baragwanath with 3200 beds and at its peak almost 8000 staff had 23 operation theatres fitted out with the most modern medical equipment that existed in the world. Blacks were treated here, operated on...at full state costs to the white-taxpayers for unlimited periods. The budget of this hospital was and is higher than the yearly budget of most small member states of the United Nations. 

Next door to Baragwanath is the St. Johns Eye Clinic. The clinic is world famous for the treatment of Glaucoma, Cataracts, traumatic eye injuries and rare tropical diseases. All built and maintained by white taxpayers money for blacks. 

Baragwanath in 1978 employed 450 medical doctors in full-time service. It treated 112 000 in-patients and 1.62 million out-patients per year. The children and infant death rate with 34.8 per 1000 was lower than Harlem in New York. 

In 1982 alone, this hospital performed 898 heart operations of world quality. 

Ironically...90% of the blood donors for this hospital were whites, who donated blood free of charge, totally voluntarily...to save black lives. (Quoted from The Citizen, 2 April 1987). 

Whites have already given blacks their blood. What more do they want?

Whites have given blacks the entire country for free. In tact. There is nothing more to give. Today blacks are destroying all the infrastructure that we paid for and built. Then still has the audacity to tell whites they should leave.

What I want to know is who are going to compensate whites for all the schools, hospitals, dams, airports, harbours, railroads, etc that they have built? It is high time for blacks to start paying whites. Nothing is for free.

 So, if anyone sees this fool John Simpson from the BBC, please give him a kick in his arse. These pathetic "journalists" think that they can produce some garbage written under the BBC banner and think that they actually know what they're talking about. John should rather stay in Muslim Britain and worry about what's going on in his own country, because he certainly did ZERO research in writing this tripe.


Yes John, Apartheid only looked after the White people and nobody else. Off you fly back to England now that you've answered your own question - do White people have a future in SA? NO! And you want to know why? Because you had the opportunity to tell the truth and you chose to once again blame the Whites in your fist sentence and set the tone for the answer you were hoping for.

Flipping fool.

Apartheid South Africa looked after white people and nobody else. Now some of its white communities face a level of deprivation, or of violence, which threatens their future in the country.


Everyone here, regardless of colour, tells you that white people are still riding high.

They run the economy. They have a disproportionate amount of influence in politics and the media. They still have the best houses and most of the best jobs.

All of this is true but it is not the only picture.

Look below the surface and you will find poverty and a sense of growing vulnerability.

The question I have come to South Africa to answer is whether white people genuinely have a future here.

The answer, as with so many similar existential questions, is "Yes - but…"

It seems to me that only certain parts of the white community really have a genuine future here: the better-off, more adaptable parts.


Working-class white people, most of them Afrikaans-speakers, are going through an intense crisis. But you will not read about it in the newspapers or see it reported on television because their plight seems to be something arising out of South Africa's bad old past - a past which everyone, black and white, would like to forget.

According to one leading political activist, Mandla Nyaqela, this is the after-effect of the huge degree of selfishness and brutality which was shown towards the black population under apartheid.

"It is having its effect on whites today, even though they still own a share of South Africa's wealth which is entirely disproportionate," he said.

That may all be true. But the people who are suffering now are the weakest and most vulnerable members of the white community.

Ernst Roets, a leading Afrikaans campaigner from the AfriForum organisation, took me to a squatter camp outside the country's capital, Pretoria. A white squatter camp.

It has been set up on the property of a sympathetic white farmer and is called, optimistically, Sonskyn Hoekie - Sunshine Corner.

There are broken-down cars and bits of discarded furniture everywhere. Beyond the wooden shacks lie ditches and pools of dirty, stagnant water where mosquitoes breed. Two basic toilets serve the whole camp.

According to Roets there are 80 white squatter camps - many of them bigger than this - in the Pretoria area alone. Across South Africa as a whole he believes there could be as many as 400,000 poor whites in conditions like these.


Sonskyn Hoekie has no water and no electricity. The inhabitants live on two hand-out meals of maize porridge a day, which is provided by local volunteers. There is no social security for them, no lifeline - any more than there was for non-whites when apartheid ruled.

"I don't want to live in a place like this," said Frans de Jaeger, a former bricklayer, who with his beard and wrinkled face looks like one of the old Voortrekkers.


"But I can't get out."

His wife died suddenly of cancer a few years ago and it sent him into a downward spiral of binge drinking and destitution.

Semi-skilled white people have little chance of getting a job when so many black South Africans are unemployed.

There is another group of white Afrikaners, far higher up the social scale, who are deeply threatened - in this case, literally. Virtually every week the press here report the murders of white farmers, though you will not hear much about it in the media outside South Africa.

In South Africa you are twice as likely to be murdered if you are a white farmer than if you are a police officer - and the police here have a particularly dangerous life. The killings of farmers are often particularly brutal.

Ernst Roets's organisation has published the names of more than 2,000 people who have died over the last two decades. The government has so far been unwilling to make solving and preventing these murders a priority.


I went to a little town called Geluik - happiness. A few weeks ago gunmen burst into the farm shop there and opened fire, killing one farmer outright and injuring one of his sons and a shopworker.

They stole next to nothing. It seemed to be a deliberate, targeted killing. Soon afterwards the son died of his injuries.

Belinda van Nord, the daughter and sister of the men who died, told me how dangerous the lives of white people in the countryside have become. The police, she said, had seemed to show little interest in this case.

In the little graveyard where her father and brother are buried there are two other graves of farmers murdered recently. The wonderful landscape which surrounds it has become a killing ground.

There used to be 60,000 white farmers in South Africa. In 20 years that number has halved.

In the old days, the apartheid system looked after whites and did very little for anyone else. Nowadays white people here are on their own.

Those who fit in and succeed will certainly have a future. As for the rest, there are no guarantees whatsoever.
