Makes you wonder doesn't it ... can you imagine having a White Demonstration against Mudslum in downtown Baghdad ! This surely is not the future of the Western World. These pictures are of towelheads marching through the streets of London during their recent "Religion of Peace Demonstration". Mudslums have stated that England will be the first country they take over ! 













Of one thing we can be sure ... just as in the days of old ... our enemy is helping their cause ! 

For the last week South Africa has been burning ... you`ll be forgiven if you think this is the bad old Apartheid days. Before this we had two months of mass action ... thousands of niggers marching down main roads destroying everything in their path. The reason ... poor service delivery ! The assholes that the niggers put in power.



I say this is just an excuse ... the real masters are now coming to the fore ... the south african communist party [sacp] ... to take control of the country ... and smash any opposition ... black or White ! The communist has already warned the "right" that there wil be nowhere to hide ... I disagree ... South Africa is big ... this time our woman and children will be safe, you hammer and sickle scum ... thanks for the warning !

The battle lines have been drawn between moderates and leftists in the ANC following a stern warning by ANC president Jacob Zuma that the left should not flex its muscles over deployments in government. Tensions in the tripartite alliance surfaced after ANC national executive committee (NEC) member Billy Masetlha warned in an interview with the Mail & Guardian last week that the South African Communist Party and Cosatu should not try to impose their socialist views on the ANC. [what a joke !]

In what is likely to heighten insecurity among ANC nationalists [?!???] Cosatu leaders have told the M&G of their plan to push for a "socialist" economic policy at the alliance summit scheduled for next month. The M&G has learned that Masetlha's comments are the culmination of events that started at a national executive committee meeting three weeks ago, in which Zuma referred to a "tendency" among the ANC's allies to try to meddle in state appointments to ensure that their members get jobs in government and thus influence economic policy.

The discussion arose after the party's Eastern Cape conference in September, where Phumulo Masualle, the SACP national treasurer, was elected provincial chairperson over Eastern Cape finance minister Mcebisi Jonas. In a bid to win votes for Masualle at the conference a pamphlet was distributed setting out the SACP's plans to clean up corruption in government and make changes in economic policy, particularly using state intervention to create jobs.

The SACP's national leadership explained to the NEC that the party had distanced itself from the pamphlet, former arts and culture minister Pallo Jordan told the M&G. After the conference the Eastern Cape SACP also released a statement saying the party will "support the new leadership in making changes where necessary", implying that a provincial cabinet reshuffle is on the cards. [to make room for the REAL masters !]

According to members at the recent NEC meeting, Zuma insisted that ANC deployees serve in government on an ANC ticket and that the alliance cannot be involved in deployment. Masualle was widely expected to reshuffle the cabinet and his associates made it clear that Eastern Cape Premier Noxolo Kieviet's days were numbered. But the implication of Zuma's declaration was that the decision rests with the NEC.

Masualle's election sparked anxiety among ANC moderates about the growing power of SACP members in the ruling party. It was this that prompted Masetlha to publicly express disquiet about Cosatu and the SACP's push for a socialist agenda in the ANC. Although Masetlha's statements were echoed privately by a number of ANC leaders this week, few were willing to publicly support his stance. The ANC distanced itself from his comments.

But ANC NEC member and Limpopo Premier Cassel Mathale said that all alliance partners should understand that Cabinet ministers were ANC members and that they were not appointed because they belonged to Cosatu or the SACP. "The president appointed them because they are ANC members in good standing and he had faith in them to carry out the mandate," Mathale said.

Mathale said it should be expected that both the SACP and Cosatu would want to influence what happens in the country, but he said that did not constitute a fight for the control of the ANC. But he reminded those aiming to change the ANC's direction to socialism that the ANC alone is the ruling party in the country". [another joke !] When we attained democracy the colour of the flag that was raised was black, green and gold. We did not raise a red flag". [LOL !]

Mathale compared the ANC to a bus carrying different passengers who might be heading in different directions. "When that bus went to Polokwane, people thought delegates had agreed on the long-term direction of the bus, but there was no pact". Young Communist League national secretary Buti Manamela this week interpreted Masetlha's comments as an attempt to isolate the SACP and Cosatu.

"We cannot go back to that painful period where communists were seen as a threat," Manamela said, adding : "Masetlha is threatening Zuma with a revolt at the next conference of the ANC on the basis that he is standing for a principle of uniting the alliance. We will never allow that to happen". In an interview this week Cosatu president Sdumo Dlamini revealed that the federation would propose a new economic growth path at the alliance summit. He warned that unless Zuma's new administration made a significant shift from its policies, the new ANC's priorities would remain a pipe dream.

"There's no way we can achieve these priorities in the current neo-liberal mode. We need an alternative to Gear [growth employment and redistribution policy]. For us, socialism is the way to go. Polokwane signalled a shift from neo-liberal policies." It is understood that Cosatu and the SACP will present a united front at the summit to push for ANC adoption of socialist policies, including the nationalisation of strategic assets in critical sectors of the economy, notably in the chemical, energy and mining industries.

Companies targeted for nationalisation include Sasol and Mittal Steel. The left will also push for the establishment of a state bank and mining company to accelerate development. Cosatu also wants changes in monetary and fiscal policy, including interest rates and with regard to the budget surplus. Dlamini said Cosatu would put pressure on Zuma to amend the Constitution to allow some of the powers vested in the treasury to be shifted to Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel.

He said Cosatu was worried that Patel has not been given sufficient capacity to develop economic policy. "He [Patel] is sharing office space with Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies. Our view is that the department must lead us in developing economic policies," said Dlamini. A member of Zuma's executive, who asked not to be named, said that the ANC was unlikely to accede to Cosatu's demands, as there had already been a major shift in the government's economic stance.

"Gear does not exist any more. There might still be some elements of it, such as inflation targeting, but these were not key to Gear. The key elements were 6% economic growth and privatisation of state assets. The government has abandoned this. The focus now is on addressing persistent realities of underdevelopment and unemployment, which have risen sharply in the past 15 years".

The M&G understands that at this week's alliance political council, Cosatu and the SACP were told to stop attacking ANC leaders in public and engage with issues. "There was consensus that people have to move away from personalities and engage with the strategic planning of government," said an ANC NEC member who attended the alliance meeting.
Jordan said Masetlha's comments reflected the age-old battle in the ANC between communists and the moderates and was "old hat".

Welcome Jason, nice to have you !

[2010 Terror Plot Against US Interests In South Africa : "Cops Not Ready"]

2010 Terror Plot Against US Interests In South Africa : "Cops Not Ready"

The South African ruling party and its intelligence community are so focused on their [unfounded] fears of a perceived "white rightwing violence threat" -- that they have been ignoring the real threat -- mudslamic militancy. This was said by Hussein Solomon, head of the International Institute of islamic Studies in SA yesterday :

Mr Solomon, who is an expert on sand nigger militancy, warned in an article in The Mercury that the South African intelligence services are "woefully, inadequately prepared" for the potential threat of terrorism during the World Cup next year : telling the newspaper how he "had been trying to warn authorities for some time about the threat of islamic terrorist action during the World Cup."

He said international policing agency Interpol had already warned of such a threat but "the South African intelligence services did not seem to be listening. Our intelligence services are extremely politicised," Solomon was quoted as saying, adding that the intelligence services "would rather spy on investigative journalists to discover their sources than spy on potential terrorists. When I interact with our counter-intelligence people, they are more concerned about the Boeremag than al-Qaeda ... but they are acting from an ideological perspective which is fundamentally out of sync with reality."

In fact, said Solomon, head of the International Institute of islamic Studies at the University of Pretoria, islamic militants had already established cells in South Africa and even the international policing agency Interpol had been warning South Africa about this.

He was commenting in The Mercury newspaper on earlier reports that Somali terrorists linked to al-Qaeda have been planning to attack US interests inside South Africa. The Weekend Argus reported that the US government had closed its embassy in Pretoria and all other US government facilities for two days last month because intelligence agencies had intercepted a call from the township of Khayelitsha south of Cape Town to the al-Qaeda-linked Al-Shabaab extremist group in Somalia, discussing a plot to blow up American interests.

This was apparently to be in retaliation for the US military's killing of an Al-Shabaab commander in southern Somalia. The US suspected the commander of having played a role in the fatal bombing of US embassies in Nairobi and Dar el Salaam in 1998. The sources added that the efforts by local intelligence agencies to trace the Cape Town Somalis was disrupted when police commissioner Bheki Cele went on national television to say that the country's intelligence structures were "on top of the situation". This prompted the Somalis to go further underground.

Solomon pointed to several instances where he said the local intelligence and security leadership had ignored potential terrorist threats for ideological reasons. He said the Pakistan government was convinced that two South Africans arrested in Pakistan after a gunfight between security forces and al-Qaeda elements a few years ago were linked to al-Qaeda. But these two men had simply been released on their return to South Africa. This also happened to two South Africans arrested in Uganda more recently. "Everyone outside this country seems to know who is threatening South Africa. We must not think we are protected because we are far away. Often these things have nothing to do with South Africa. They are just an opportunity to attack America."

Other sources said that Somali terrorists devised the strategy to take on the US in South Africa because it was easier than fighting the superpower in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia. NIA spokeswoman Lorna Daniels refused to comment on the weekend reports. However, a source quoted in the Weekend Argus said : "What has been established is that the Cape guys are linked to al-Qaeda cells in Somalia, who are connected to the group in Afghanistan. We have established that most al-Qaeda operatives are relocating from Afghanistan to Pakistan, attracted by increased lawlessness in Pakistan.

"Our information is that there is a trail that links Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia and, most interestingly, Mozambique where Somalis have formed an anti-US cell already. The interception revealed that these people plan to move en masse from Mozambique to here [SA] in 2010 to attack American interests. Their point is that SA is not a target, but if South Africans are caught in the crossfire, then that would be unfortunate. Part of the intercepted conversations are on how America was stronger elsewhere but could be vulnerable here in South Africa."

This in spite of the US boosting security at its new premises in Sandton and Pretoria. US embassy spokeswoman Sharon Hudson-Dean refused to comment on the threat, saying : "We do not comment on intelligence matters."
An NIA official said yesterday: "This is classified information. If you publish it, this will jeopardise an operation already under way."

However, the source said Cele had already said publicly that intelligence officers were on the track of the extremists. "I do not mean to be alarmist, but the US was right to take these people seriously because, we now know that they have links with shady characters who have access to old military hardware in Eastern Europe," said the source.
