[Herman Feder]

Herman Feder

Herman was conscripted by the evil Nazi's in 1939, but since he was sedentary most of his life, and unable to work, the Nazi's sent him home without pay.

Then the Nazi's sent Herman to jail for no reason. Then the Nazi's sent Herman, who has already acknowledged he was too useless to work, to 7 different labor and death camps. At which Herman apparently experienced neither work nor death. Because Herman was strong when he was young the Nazi`s could not beat him to death. He was buried alive, but remained alive because he prayed and knew that his mother was near.

Herman received letters from his wife in the death camp. Herman gave an SS man a diamond for a piece of bread because there were a lot of diamonds in the concentration camp. Herman was going to die because he gave his soup to Mickey Mouse in exchange for teaching him how to make shoes, but Herman saw a potato in the same road the Jews marched everyday, and he picked it up and ate it. Miracle !

Herman made a pair of shoes for the head chef, who rewarded Herman by giving the men an extra cauldron of soup or mashed potatoes every day. The soup weighed 75 lbs, but the men took it with them 8 miles back to camp. Then the Nazi's sent Herman to the gas chambers at Bergen-Belsen to be deloused. Herman volunteered to take the bodies off the trains every day, so he could steal a sharp stone. Herman cut his tongue with the sharp stone, and survived without food or water for 5 days by drinking his own blood, even though the Talmud forbids such behaviour.

One night Herman was standing next to the window and could hear the conversation of three or four S.S. men; they only had 4 bullets between them - it was common for the Nazi elite forces to run out of bullets. Then a Russian used a board to break out the steel bars on the windows. Herman ran away. The Nazi's shot him in the ankle, but Herman kept running, he kept running until he could no longer run - the time frame between him running and eventually falling down is unclear.

Then the doctor removed the bullet without any anesthetic because Herman was strong when he was young.

[[ ... depending on what is deemed "criminal" by ZOG]]

New cyber-monitoring measures have been quietly introduced giving police and Security Intelligence Service officers the power to monitor all aspects of someone's online life. The measures are the largest expansion of police and SIS surveillance capabilities for decades, and mean that all mobile calls and texts, email, internet surfing and online shopping, chatting and social networking can be monitored anywhere in New Zealand.

In preparation, technicians have been installing specialist spying devices and software inside all telephone exchanges, internet companies and even fibre-optic data networks between cities and towns, providing police and spy agencies with the capability to monitor almost all communications. Police and SIS must still obtain an interception warrant naming a person or place they want to monitor but, compared to the phone taps of the past, a single warrant now covers phone, email and all internet activity.

It can even monitor a person's location by detecting their mobile phone; all of this occurring almost instantaneously. Police say in the year to June 2009, there were 68 interception warrant applications granted and 157 people prosecuted as a result of those interceptions. Police association vice-president Stuart Mills said the new capabilities are required because criminals were using new technologies to communicate, and that people who weren't committing criminal offences had little to fear. [ ... depending on what is deemed "criminal" by ZOG]

However, civil liberties council spokesman Michael Bott said the new surveillance capabilities are part of a step-by-step erosion of civil rights in New Zealand. [ ... AAARRRGGGHHH] Police Minister Judith Collins responded to questions from the Sunday Star-Times about the new surveillance capabilities, saying : "I support the rule of law". [ZOG`s rule of law ?] In last year's budget she approved extra police funds to subsidise companies wiring surveillance devices into their telecommunications networks.

The measures are the consequence of a law, the 2004 Telecommunications (Interception Capability) Act, which gave internet and network companies until last year to install devices allowing automated access to internet and cellphone data. Telecom, Vodafone and TelstraClear had earlier 2005 deadlines, and new cellphone provider 2degrees installed the interception equipment before launching last year.

Official papers obtained by the Star-Times show that, despite government claims that it was done for domestic reasons, the new New Zealand spying capabilities are part of a push by United States agencies to have standardised surveillance capabilities available for their use from governments worldwide.

While US civil liberties groups unsuccessfully fought these surveillance capabilities being used on US citizens, the FBI was lobbying other governments to adopt them. FBI Director Robert Mueller III told a senate committee in March last year that the FBI needs "global reach" to fight cyber-crime and terrorism and that co-operation with "law enforcement partners" gives it "the means to leverage the collective resources of many countries".

Auckland lawyer Tim McBride, author of the forthcoming New Zealand Civil Rights Handbook, says our politicians had let down New Zealanders when they yielded to the foreign pressure and imported US-style surveillance into New Zealand. He said "monitoring email, internet chatting and Facebook is like the police and SIS planting bugs in every cafe and park. It would probably help solve a few crimes, but the cost is just too great".

The 2004 New Zealand law, which mirrors laws overseas, requires the content of any communication plus "call associated data", such as times, phone numbers, IP addresses and mobile phone locations, to be able to be copied and sent to the police, SIS or Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) at the time of transmission or "as close as practicable" to that time.

In practice, a specialist said, this means someone's email can be "at the agency within one or two minutes of it actually being on the wires". When the police and SIS were pushing for the interception capability law they argued repeatedly that it would not "change or extend in any way the existing powers". But civil libertarians say that the invisibility of electronic surveillance reduces the opportunity to challenge it.

A technician familiar with the developments said the previous surveillance technology dated from the early 1980s when the Telecom phone system went digital. Police bugged individual phones and could request suspects' call logs. More recently police had taken a warrant to telcos and gone away with printed emails, but did it rarely as there were problems using the evidence in court.

"This is the first big jump from there," said the technician. They've never had the powers to force ISPs to build in spying capabilities before now. I imagine law enforcement is very excited about this."

[The Risks And Dangers Of Pardoning Eugene De Kock]

The Risks And Dangers Of Pardoning Eugene De Kock

The Sunday Independent clearly has a feeling in its waters that President Jacob Zuma will actually go ahead and do it - pardon perhaps the two most controversial people in the country's recent history.

Much has already been said about Schabir Shaik, who's already out of prison on a sort-of pardon, but the case of Eugene de Kock deserves a much closer look. Just in case you weren't with us in the early- to mid-1990s, De Kock was the poster boy for apartheid killers. He was THE guy who actually did it; plotted, planned and executed anti-apartheid activists. You know, the ANC members. There was no "someone else actually pulled the trigger" for him. And the foot-soldier argument didn't wash either, because he ruled the roost at Vlakplaas with pretty much absolute power. He ran the place, making sure the people who were to be killed were actually killed. He was there because he was very good at the business of killing and was quite happy to do it.

But he has repeatedly said he is prepared to name names, to identify the people in the apartheid government who actually pointed a finger at a name on a hit-list, and said, "maak daai een dood" ("kill that one"). He was the link between the politician making the decision that someone should be removed, and the removal itself. That places him in a very powerful position : would he be, if released, prepared to actually go ahead and "out" all of them ? And if that's the case, who would he name ? The biggie who may be a little concerned is FW de Klerk. (De Kock has already publicly said that de Klerk's "hands were soaked with blood".) [ ... a lot of Whites would enjoy seeing de klerk swinging from a tree !] Perhaps Zuma is thinking De Klerk must stop trying to interfere in current politics after his comments about the Constitution last year.

But if Zuma does release De Kock, and if he does name names, what will happen ? The fact is we don't believe this country is really in a reconciliatory mood. Jonathan Jansen, rector of the University of the Free State, can attest to that after what happened with his decision to pardon the Reitz Four. Obviously, Zuma will have Julius Malema in his back pocket before he does anything about De Kock.

The main theory doing the rounds is that Zuma would do it so he could pardon Shaik at the same time and no-one will notice. The theory itself does sound pretty dumb, because, well, everyone would notice it - and Zuma is very much aware of that. The story would be sandwiched in with De Kock, sure, but Shaik-outrage will not be lost either. (If Zuma really wanted to help Schabir out, with no mess or fuss, he would be better advised to do it a minute before kick-off in the World Cup. We wouldn't notice it for about a month then.)

But De Kock isn't going to bring warm fuzzy feelings about peace and harmony with his release. He's going to stir up a hornet's nest of emotions.[ ... and what did the Nuremburg-style "truth and reconciliation" circus do ?] Not rational debate, but emotions. We're all for a good argument about racial reconciliation, but that's not what will happen. We'll get lots of shouting and anger and frustration, for all the right reasons. If Zuma wants to burnish his credentials as a unifier, a reconciler, he is on the wrong track.

We already respect him for that [ ... niggers respect him], and he runs the risk of actually hurting those credentials with De Kock. What is pretty clear to us is that De Kock is nobody's hero [ ... you`ll be surprised !]. There may be a few crack-pots who still break out the Vierkleur on the Day of the Vow and will think fondly of him, but generally speaking, there's no group of people who will welcome his release. Not much of an upside there, either. Also, De Kock himself has claimed he's not a psychopath, which would remove the chance of some kind of absolution based on his mental state. Wherever one looks, there's only one response : NO.

South Africans have become pretty good at moving on with our lives [ ... niggers have become pretty good at moving on with their lives ... because only they have a life !]. The big political issues have all been about the future rather than the past. Dredging this up is not going to lead to a debate that could help us deal with the past. It's just likely to re-open the raw emotions we've been trying to forget. And they wouldn't even begin to paper over the gaping holes in credibility that a pardon for Shaik would create. It would just make it worse.

Zuma's officials aren't speaking about this on the record at all at the moment. There have been a few hints. Perhaps someone is floating a balloon, to see how the country would react. If that's what is happening, then the message should go to the bridegroom at Nkandla. Don't do it. Both decisions would be wrong. And releasing De Kock could backfire horribly. He's not called 'Prime Evil' for nothing. This could be your "Prime Mistake", Mr President.

[Union Slams FNB Over Bursaries]

Union Slams FNB Over Bursaries

Cape Town - Trade union Solidarity has launched a campaign to pressure First National Banking into scrapping what it says is a "racial" allocation of education bursaries for employees' children. The union said on Thursday the bank had decided White employees would not qualify for the bursaries. It was reacting to the November edition of FNB's employees newsletter TreeTalk, in which the bank offered the support to African, Indian, Coloured and Chinese [ ... they are not indigenous to SA !] employees earning less than R100 000 a year.

"White employees who struggle and earn less than R100 000 are simply excluded, purely on the basis of their race," union spokesperson Dirk Hermann said in a statement. "This is surely the most insensitive Christmas present an employer could give a certain portion of its employees. The White employees at FNB are getting a black Christmas stocking that they are not allowed to open, because they aren't black."

He said members of the public could complain to FNB through Solidarity's website at www.solidarity.co.za and join a Facebook protest. He said Solidarity urged FNB clients and the public to continue the campaign until the racial criteria were removed from the bursary allocation. He said the focus of FNB's employee support trust, which would administer the bursaries, was children at primary school level, who could not be said to be beneficiaries of Apartheid.

The right approach would be to let anyone who earned less than R100 000 qualify for study aid. FNB spokespeople were not immediately available for comment. A switchboard operator at the bank's Sandton head office said she believed they were in a meeting, and that they intended to issue a statement.

The November 9 to 13 issue of TreeTalk tells employees that if they are struggling to meet the demands of rising education costs, "then we may just have some good news for you. FNB is commit[t]ed to ensuring education for all, and as part of this initiative, offers financial assistance to black employees (as defined by the FirstRand staff BEE Scheme : African, Indian, Coloured and Chinese) earning R100 000 or less per annum."

[Skilled Foreigners To Get Extra Allowance]

Skilled Foreigners To Get Extra Allowance

The government is to pay a generous allowance to highly skilled foreign nationals to curb skills shortages in national and provincial departments [ ... while Whites in the country go unemployed ?!? Although I feel for these Whites, this could be the spark for things to come ... Whites getting more fed-up and agitated]. The allowance will primarily be aimed at foreign nationals seconded to the public service or who join through exchange programmes.

In a circular, the Department of Public Service and Administration says state entities recruiting skilled foreign nationals may pay them a deployment allowance amounting to 30 percent of their "commencing salary notch" or their package as an incentive. Richard Levin, [ ... a jew is always involved in crushing the punch-drunk Whites in South Africa !] the director-general in the department, said yesterday the allowance was intended to make it easier to recruit skilled workers [ ... and to crush the 800 thousand Afrikaans-speaking Whites sitting in unemplyed in squater camps !].

The government has stepped up efforts to plug the skills shortage in the public sector, which is adversely affecting service delivery [ ... but refuse to employ Whites ... sound like Nazi Germany after the war ?]. Kike Levin said the allowance would only apply when a government department, municipality, state entity or hospital required a skilled foreigner for a post that could not be filled by a South African. [ ... that is, a black South African !]

"The rationale is to provide for adequate sourcing alternatives ... where a skills scarcity is such that human resource provisioning is not possible from our own labour market. It must be borne in mind that the Immigration Act prescribes that a foreign national may only be employed if it is not possible to recruit a suitable (South African) citizen or permanent resident". Dr Norman Mabaso of the SA Medical Association said similar dispensations should be created for South African doctors working in the private sector or overseas to entice them back to public hospitals. [ ... after they were discriminated against, the reason for them leaving in the first palce !]
