Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, a CIA Front Organisation!?

I did some research and stumbled on this article clipping, “Reeves Says His Salary Was Paid by ‘CIA-Related’ Foundation Funds”, dated 11 February 1969 found at https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP88-01315R000300380023-6.pdf and see attached pdf. Below is an excerpt.

Tom Reeves, one of three SIS instructors already in the center of much controversy and discussion on campus, discloses, in a statement printed in today’s Eagle that his salary has been paid by the Avalon Foundation, an organization which he says “has been accused often in print of being a CIA front.”

It also states in the article that he was accused “of “trouble-making, rabble-rousing and perhaps membership in the Communist Party.””

Furthermore, the below excerpts was taken from https://mellon.org/media/filer_public/d1/26/d126a239-d21b-4e15-9a1f-81157d1b5572/the_mellon_foundation_social_bond__framework_-_final_71520.pdf or see attachment.

The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (the “Foundation”) is a not-for-profit corporation under the laws of the State of New York. The Foundation was formed on June 30, 1969, through the consolidation of two existing foundations: the Avalon Foundation and the Old Dominion Foundation.

Presidential Initiatives: Supports tightly-defined and impact-oriented responses to a specific opportunity or challenge. These initiatives cut across multiple program areas and are shaped and held out of the President’s Office.

Grant proposals and recommendations are thoroughly reviewed by program, grant management, and legal staff to ensure grant recommendations accurately reflect the proposal details and strategic objectives and that the Foundation complies with all legal requirements (including, but not limited to, IRS requirements and U.S. antiterrorism laws) for charitable giving. [Why mention U.S. antiterrorism laws?]

“Livestock theft is becoming more common in South Africa“at https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2020/11/21/livestock-theft-is-becoming-more-common-in-south-africa states;

LIVESTOCK THEFT has been around since Biblical times,” says Herkie Viljoen, a farmer on the outskirts of Bethlehem, a suitably named town in the Free State. But in recent years it has reached ungodly proportions. Standing next to a huge map of the province he points to small red circles with black dots that represent stolen animals. In some places it looks as if the farms are covered in poppy fields.

In South Africa 218,000 farm animals—cows, sheep or goats—were taken in the 12 months to March, up from 180,000 five years earlier. The total loss was worth about 900m rand ($60m) in each of the past two years, around twice as much as the annual black market value of poached rhino horn. Losses this year will probably be even higher, as the economic effects of the pandemic make it harder to earn a lawful living.

A few decades ago pilferage was “for the pot”. Today 87% of cases involve criminal syndicates, says Willie Clack of the University of South Africa. Gangs act differently in different places. In parts of the Free State and neighbouring KwaZulu Natal thieves often load cows onto lorries, then cross into Lesotho. Inside the mountain kingdom, which is encircled by South Africa, syndicates rebrand cattle before taking them back across the border, for sale at auction or to abattoirs. It is like laundering cars, but with cows instead of Porsches.

Livestock theft can be seen through a racial lens. The victims of the largest heists in the Free State are white Afrikaners who run big farms. Perhaps one-fifth of farm murders in the province—allegedly including the high-profile killing of Brendin Horner, a 21-year-old farm manager‚ on October 1st—are related to syndicates. Yet the victims in most cases of theft are black smallholders. As they own fewer animals, single incidents can ruin entire livelihoods

In the meantime farmers are protecting themselves. For as is often the case in South Africa, people who can afford to do so are finding private solutions to public-sector problems. Mr Viljoen’s “command centre”, which is funded by 450 local farmers, uses 65,000 CCTV cameras to look for rustlers. Farmers are also deploying drones and GPS-tagging to find purloined stock.

“Livestock thieves slaughter sheep on-farm, then disappears” at https://saupdates.co.za/crime/livestock-thieves-slaughter-sheep-on-farm-then-disappears/ states;

Police in the Free State is looking for livestock thieves who stole and slaughtered sheep worth R77 900 last week.

According to Free State police spokesperson Motantsi Makhele, a total of 44 sheep from the Andeling farm near Vrede was allegedly stolen between 2 and 3 December.

“The suspects slaughtered the sheep right there on the farm, left the skins next to the gate, and disappeared.”

“Africa Blood and Guts 1966 (Africa Addio)”- https://youtu.be/V355OG77SQM

History tends to repeat in Africa and so the outcome becomes predictable.

This 1966 documentary captures the propaganda, violence, cruelties, atrocities of that time in Africa and ends with a warning to South Africa. You will notice how they have also slaughtered the wildlife in those countries however there are farmers in South Africa who breed with wildlife (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_farm) which have taken many species off of the endangered species’ list. Certain game farmers concentrate on intensive breeding programs for trophy animals while others cater to hunters. African governments were considering buying animals from these farmers to replenish their reserves where most, if not all, of the wildlife have been poached.

As a child, a family friend, whose father was a successful dairy farmer in Rhodesia with 3 farms, banged his head in the pillow at night to deafen the sound of gunfire during the war and still suffers from PTSD today. They fled to South Africa with 2 vehicles, their clothes and a boat shell as they were unable to take the onboard motor with them so his father chopped it up at the border. Ask any ex-Rhodesian and they will tell you that South Africa heading the same direction but the consequences may be far worse.

Africa gets their freedom – freedom for criminals while law abiding citizens live in their own prisons but their safety is not guaranteed. People in South Africa have nowhere else to flee to when the need arises and do not plan to be sitting ducks. Unfortunately, there are still those who are in denial and do not want to see the truth.

As Winston Churchill states; “The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.”

Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) traffic guns, wildlife, wildlife parts, drugs, people, body parts, etc. – Follow the guns

“How to Stop Poaching? Follow the Guns” - https://www.pacificcouncil.org/newsroom/how-stop-poaching-follow-guns states;

Many of the poachers who commit the actual poaching crime live in destitute conditions and are sponsored by corrupt governments to kill rhinos for their extremely valuable horns. Taking down a rhino requires a specific type of gun—CZ rifles—manufactured in the Czech Republic. Austin and her team found these rifles were made for American markets but diverted to Africa, specifically South Africa and Mozambique, which border Kruger National Park, for use by rhino poachers.

Most of the international gun deals are negotiated at major gun shows in Las Vegas, Nevada. Law enforcement, both local and international, were involved in Austin’s investigation due to the large national security threat posed by such gun sales. If these weapons aren’t being used to illegally kill endangered species, they are trafficked to terrorist networks, and deals help to fund TCOs, which pose a national security threat to the United States, Europe, and the world over.

Kathi Lynn Austin's organization, Conflict Awareness Project, published a 2019 report which can be found at this link, https://followtheguns.org/report.php. Below is an excerpt.

TCOs traffic guns, drugs, people, body parts, and other forms of contraband, often using the profits to finance terrorism and illegal armed groups. TCOs are a significant threat to national security. They are also major perpetrators of wildlife crimes. Trafficking in wildlife and wildlife parts has an estimated value of between $7 billion and $23 billion a year.

High-level corruption and political influence peddling have fueled the proliferation of CZ rifles in Mozambique and South Africa. Government and law enforcement inaction against the gunrunning networks is an indicator of corruption in South Africa and Mozambique.

There has been a casualty.“A Detective Pursued Rhino Poachers. Now He’s Dead.”at https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/19/world/europe/south-africa-rhino-poaching-leroy-bruwer.html states;

The detective, Lt.-Col. Leroy Bruwer, had been well aware that the work was risky; he was assaulted and his car damaged two years ago in retaliation for testifying at a court hearing of a suspected poaching kingpin.

On Tuesday morning, Colonel Bruwer was driving to work when he was shot by gunmen with what appeared to be “heavy-caliber weapons” in the northeastern city of Mbombela, the South African police said. Colonel Bruwer, who was 49, died at the scene.

Police are now investigating the killing of the man known as “one of the best rhino cops ever,” a pivotal role in a key front in the global campaign to save the rhinoceros from extinction. South Africa, whose approximately 20,000 wild rhinos make up over 80 percent of the world’s remaining rhino population, is also the country most affected by rhino poaching, according to Save the Rhino, a British-based conservation group.

Colonel Bruwer, who was commander of an organized crime investigation unit in Mpumalanga Province, was decorated as the unit’s best detective in 2016 for his role in bringing to trial three police officers suspected of rhino poaching in 2014, who were later found guilty and dismissed from the service.

”Mozambican war rifles used in rhino poaching”

>>12168967 - “Many of the .375- and .458-caliber rifles used in rhino poaching trace back to Mozambique imports during the past decade.” https://followtheguns.org/report.php

More information can be read at https://www.sanews.gov.za/south-africa/mozambican-war-rifles-used-rhino-poaching dated January 13, 2011. Below are a few excerpts.

Mpumalanga military officials have revealed that some of the rifles used to poach rhino in the Kruger National Park date back to the Mozambican civil war.

Spokesperson for the provincial South African National Defence Force's (SANDF) joint tactical head office, Captain Albert Mathonsi, said that a .458 rifle recovered following a shoot-out with a group of suspected rhino poachers in the Kruger at the weekend was used as a defence weapon during the war between Frelimo and Renamo.

"These guns were supposed to have been surrendered to the government after the war ended, but some people decided to keep them. Some former soldiers are believed to be selling the weapons to make a quick buck," said Mathonsi.

He said while many poachers were Mozambican, the .303 man-made rifles from Swaziland were also commonly used for rhino poaching in South Africa. "Guns are circulated on a very fast pace as there is huge demand for the weapons," he said.

“Rhino Horn Harvesting” - https://youtu.be/4eK-eUSgOOE

“Time to educate the world that rhinos don't have to be killed for their horns. Let people get the horn without killing rhinos or we may lose them to extinction.”

There are farmers in South Africa who breed with rhinos. Some cut their horns off to try to deter the poachers while others install security systems which include hiring armed guards 24/7.

“Henry Kissinger New World Order November 16, 2009” - https://youtu.be/OQpq7qYI39M

“The CIA, Kissinger, and Angola: The Influence of Personality on Foreign Policy”at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312117189_Kissinger_in_Angola_The_Influence_of_Personality_on_Foreign_Policy is an interesting document to learn about how influential Kissinger was with the Presidents and the CIA as well as his insistence to get involved in the Angolan conflict in 1970s. There is one statement I want to expand on;

For example, when discussing Angola, he stated that “as long as the Soviet Union is active in Africa, it is important to China … Why let the Soviet Union stretch this far [into Africa]?”Here, Kissinger is making the assumption that Soviet presence in Angola was as threatening to American standing in the global order as it was to the Chinese. Kissinger also stated that he realized Angola offered no great importance to the US, other than as a symbol of American strength versus the Soviets. This indicated the fact that Kissinger was not ignorant to what little military or political importance Angola could offer the United States, and instead he chose to position Angola’s relevance in the East-West framework of the Cold War.

However it fails to consider the oil companies which have interests in the country. https://www.geoexpro.com/articles/2012/10/milestones-in-angola-s-oil-history states; “The first offshore oil field in Angola, Malongo, was discovered ten years later in 1968 in Cabinda by the American company, Cabinda Gulf Oil Company.”

https://ejatlas.org/conflict/angola-cabinda further states;

Angola is sub-Saharan Africa's largest oil producer after Nigeria, exporting more of 800,000 barrels of oil per day and delivering more crude oil to the US than Kuwait. The first such joint ventures were established with the three foreign oil companies which had been working in Angola prior to independence from Portugal (1975): the Cabinda Gulf Oil Company (CABGOC), a joint venture operated by Gulf Oil which subsequently became a subsidiary of Chevron; Texaco and Petrofina. Chevron has been in this African nation since the 1930s, when Texaco products were first marketed in Angola. In 1958 the Cabinda Gulf Oil Company Limited drilled its first onshore well and in March 1984, Cabinda Gulf Oil was taken over by Chevron. In 1986, additional exploration by Chevron coincided with the delineation of Angola’s Block 0 and in the 2012, the company reached an impressive milestone in Angola: 4 billion barrels produced from Block 0, offshore Cabinda. Cabinda is a small enclave, physically separated from the rest of Angola by a narrow strip of land which gives the Democratic Republic of Congo access to the Atlantic Coast. Since the 1960s a small separatist movement, the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (Frente de Libertacao do Enclave de Cabinda – FLEC), and a number of splinter groups, have fought a low intensity guerrilla war, first against the Portuguese and subsequently against the MPLA ( a social fabric), to win independence for Cabinda. Consequently the Angola civil war intersects with secessionist conflict in which the role of oil it’s quite clear: Cabinda is Angola’s most oil-rich province, accounting for 60 to 70 per cent per cent of the country’s total current production and nearly all of its foreign-exchange oil earnings (EIU 2001). Obviously the government does’t want to lose this province. Chevron and its Angolan subsidiary exploit one of the largest oil and gas offshore in the world, in Takula, off the coast of Cabinda. Their platforms are equipped with the latest technology for deepwater drilling.

The document, “The CIA, Kissinger, and Angola: The Influence of Personality on Foreign Policy”, further states;

As it was never officially published to the public, the fact that these three parts of the Pike Report were leaked from one of the government officials plays into the overarching theme of whistleblowing. This is seen through the exposure of CIA operations in hopes of keeping the government in check in the post-Watergate and post-Vietnam era… Instead, people within the government saw it as their responsibility to provide transparency during this heightened time of seeking government accountability, when the actual government did not.

With the Watergate scandal, Vietnam, the Bay of Pigs, and the coups of the 1950s not long ago in U.S. history, it was only a matter of time when there would be serious critique of the legitimacy of the CIA as an agency operating in a so-called democratic country.

“Gugulethu residents queuing outside SASSA” - https://youtu.be/78k1IDDZkHY

More videos can be viewed at“Watch: Huge queues at SASSA offices spark new ‘super-spreader’ fears”, https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/watch-queues-outside-sassa-offices-super-spreader-event-video/. It states;

Local politicians have lashed out at the poor organisational skills of SASSA and the Department of Social Development, as enormous queues formed outside several offices in Cape Town. Hundreds of thousands of people have been told they can only renew their temporary disability social grants ‘in person’ – and the directive appears to have backfired.

The temporary payments are due to expire in their current form this month. To receive funds going forward, some 210 000 applicants have to redo their paperwork across the country. It is a baffling ordeal for many, and somewhat inadvertently, the decision looks to be creating ‘super-spreader events’.

Sharna Fernandez is the Minister of Social Development in the Western Cape. She was particularly horrified by the scenes witnessed in Eerste River. Hundreds, possibly thousands of social grant recipients turned up to queue outside the doors on Tuesday. The crowds were overflowing, and lines snaked around a full-capacity car park.

Fernandez was left incensed by this ‘perfect storm’ of irresponsibility. COGTA Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma spoke of the dangers regarding ATMs and their potential to become super-spreader locations earlier this afternoon – but the Western Cape’s public representative believes NDZ now needs to get her priorities in order:

“The COGTA Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma should add SASSA pay points to her list of super spreaders! This is completely unacceptable – and this entire situation requires immediate intervention.”

“The situation on the ground is tense. We are appealing for calm. We are engaging SASSA and the Department of Social Development to ensure solutions are found soon. As a province, we are providing support – however, the process regarding the renewal of temporary disability grants must be addressed by SASSA urgently.”

After the main show, we've got the encore. Dlamini-Zuma has identified three new Level 3 restrictions that did not feature in Ramaphosa's 'family meeting'.

NKOSAZANA DLAMINI-ZUMA DETAILS LOCKDOWN CHANGES – NEW RESTRICTIONS FOR LEVEL 3

BANKS MUST PROVIDE SANITISERS AT ATMS

It is now a legal requirement for banks to provide hand sanitisation stations next to ATM machines. This comes after NDZ clearly stated that these facilities may act as ‘super-spreaders’, due to the large crowds they can attract in public spaces. Social distancing laws must also be enforced.

“There is a regulation for banks: It came to our attention that people queue at ATMs, but there is no sanitisation. The update now is that every financial institution with a cash machine must install hand sanitisers next to them. These ATMs could become super-spreaders. If one person has COVID-19, and uses the machine, others may also catch it.”

Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma

FUNERAL SERVICES HIT BY TWO-HOUR TIME LIMIT

Meanwhile, Dlamini-Zuma also added a new caveat to the official guidelines for funerals. According to the minister, no service can last more than two hours. This directive has been added to the banning of night vigils, after tears parties, and funeral gatherings that exceed 50 people…

“Attendance of a funeral is limited to a maximum of 50 persons, with persons observing a distance of at least one and a half metres from each other. If the venue is too small to hold 50 persons observing a distance of at least one and a half metres from each other, then no more than 50% of the capacity of the venue may be used.”

“During a funeral, a person must wear a face mask and adhere to all health protocols and social distancing measures. In addition [to the existing rules], the duration of a funeral is restricted to a maximum of two hours.”

Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma

DLAMINI-ZUMA ‘CHANGES BEACH DEFINITIONS’ FOR ADJUSTED LEVEL 3

Furthermore, the government has extended the definition of a beach, to include estuary mouths and ‘any location within 100 metres of a high-water mark’. That means beachfronts, some promenades, and a number of coastal paths are technically off-limits. Dlamini-Zuma explained the change in terminology earlier.

“A ‘beach’ means the sandy, pebbly or rocky shore between the high-water mark and low-water mark adjacent to the sea. or an estuary mouth – extending 1 000 meters inland from the mouth.”

“The definition also refers to any location within 100 metres of the high-water mark, including the sea and estuary themselves adjacent to the beach. Private property is excluded. An estuary is defined by section 1 of the National Environmental Management: Integrated Coastal Management Act, 2008.”

Hard Lockdown – Seven of the Most Infuriating Rules You May Have Forgotten About

“Why South Africa’s Townships Are More Worried About Police Brutality Than Coronavirus” - https://youtu.be/87EjVzRLdqQ

“Hard lockdown: The seven most bizarre rules that could make a return” at

https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/offbeat/will-south-africa-return-hard-lockdown-what-rules/ reminds us;

PRE-APPROVED CLOTHING LISTS

We’re starting with an absolute cracker. But for roughly two months in South Africa, people were barred from buying certain clothes. Bedding and winter jackets only went on sale in May. You can see the list of all pre-approved clothing items here.

Caps, swimming trunks, and t-shirts remained banned until Level 3, stating off the shelves for two months. Restrictions were eventually lifted at the beginning of June, and arguably, this was one of the most controversial moments of our COVID-19 response

STOP WALKING THAT DOG!

There are very specific and limited reasons South Africans can leave their homes during Level 5 lockdown. It turns out that walking the dog is not one of them. It was deemed ‘unessential’, despite many canines needing their daily walks for health reasons. Bheki Cele famously told the public to walk their dogs ‘around the house’. He was barking up the wrong tree…

THE THREE-HOUR EXERCISE WINDOW

Absolutely fair play to anyone who managed to take advantage of this. At Level 4 of lockdown, people were allowed ‘free time’ to exercise outside, between the hours of 6:00 – 9:00. Anyone who had the energy to power-walk down Sea Point Promenade before sunrise deserved their exercise window, put it that way.

COOKED FOOD BAN FOR A HARD LOCKDOWN

It’s still hard to believe this is real. But, inexplicably, it is. Cooked food items were removed from supermarket shelves during the early days of our pandemic response, only returning when Level 3 restrictions came into place. Trade Minister Ebrahim Patel got it in the neck for the contentious regulation, which he claimed would ‘stop people congregating’ in stores.

NO OPEN-TOED SHOES ALLOWED

Yes. Because coronavirus starts in your toes and works its way up, apparently. This was another eyebrow-raiser that came into force during April, as the government took the bold decision to mandate what footwear we could purchase.

THE FIVE-KILOMETRE RULE

Another Level 4 classic: As personal freedoms were eased slightly, that infamous ‘exercise window’ came with a caveat. People could only travel within five kilometres of their own home. It was bad news for joggers, we’ll say that much.

SORRY, WHY CAN’T WE BUY THAT? HARD LOCKDOWN, HARD TO UNDERSTAND

Stationery, winter clothing, heaters and bedding, manicure and pedicure products, haircare items, and even certain types of fabrics were taken off the shelves between March and May. Should the hardest form of lockdown return, everything from sharpeners to shampoo will be yanked from sale. Ke Dezemba, this ain’t…

Notice the leaders from different religions celebrating the ANC in the beginning of the video.

The opening remarks of the ANC clearly shows who their ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ are;

17:26 - “We want to single out our international brothers and sisters who joined us virtually; the southern African region, African continent, across the world. We acknowledge their representative messages and they are FRELIMO from Mozambique, MPLA Angola, SWAPO Namibia, Zanu-PF Zimbabwe, … Communist Party of China,… Communist Party of Vietnam,… Palestine… Venezuela. Your present messages are most appreciated, even those messages that have not arrived, are appreciated.” [Take note, it was difficult to understand him at times.]

They also gave a platform for Cosatu (it is interesting how they cut his message short) and South Africa Communist party to speak before Cyril’s speech.

South Africa Time Capsule 1 – Discussions to Release Nelson Mandela from Prison

• 31 January 1985 - “State President P. W. Botha offers Nelson Mandela, leader of the banned African National Congress (ANC), conditional release from the prison sentence he had been serving since the conclusion of the Rivonia Trial in 1964. The condition of his release is that he renounces violence, and violent protest, as a means to bring about change in South Africa. Mandela communicates his refusal of the offer through his daughter, Zindzi Mandela.” https://www.sahistory.org.za/dated-event/president-p-w-botha-offers-nelson-mandela-conditional-release-prison

• 18 January 1989 - “On 18 January 1989, P W Botha suffered a mild stroke at the age of 73. He was scheduled to meet with Namibian political leaders on 20 January 1989, but could not attend the meeting due to his ailing condition. Acting president, Christiaan Heunis, attended the meeting in his place. Some sources say that the stroke left him partially paralysed, but despite his health, Botha refused to resign and was subsequently ousted from office by members of his own party. Even after the party's actions, he persistently retained the presidency amid rumours of his resignation.” https://www.sahistory.org.za/dated-event/president-pw-botha-suffers-stroke - [Keep in mind, P.

South Africa Time Capsule 2 – Release of Nelson Mandela

“Nelson Mandela's Speech, 11 Febuary 1990” - https://youtu.be/BiBownihoXg. Below are noteworthy statements made by him. >>10916521

6:42 – “I salute members of Umkhonto weSizwe”

7:21 – “I salute the South African Communist Party”

8:10 – “I salute General Secretary Joe Slovo, one of our finest patriots. We are harkened by the fact that the alliance between ourselves and the party remains as strong as it always was.”

15:25 – “Our resort to the armed struggle in 1960 with the formation of the military wing of the ANC, Umkhonto weSizwe, whilst a purely defensive action against the violence of Apartheid, the factors which necessitated the armed struggle still exist today. We have no option but to continue.”

21:40 – “Our struggle has reached a decisive moment. We call on our people to seize this moment so that the process to our democracy is rapid and uninterrupted. We have waited too long for our freedom. We can no longer wait. Now is the time to intensify the struggle on all fronts.”

“Why Won't Mandela Renounce Violence?” at https://www.nytimes.com/1990/06/21/opinion/why-won-t-mandela-renounce-violence.html states;

Who is the real Nelson Mandela? Before his supporters drape him in the garments of Abraham Lincoln or Martin Luther King Jr., they should take a close look.

Dr. King advocated nonviolence. The method of nonviolent resistance is effective in that it has a way of disarming opponents, Dr. King said. It exposes their moral defenses, weakens their morale and at the same time works on their conscience. It makes possible for the individual to struggle for moral ends through moral means. In sharp contrast to Dr. King, Mr. Mandela continues to call for an armed struggle.

Despite Mr. Mandela's much-publicized meeting with Chief Buthelezi to call for an end to fighting between the A.N.C. and Inkatha in Natal Province, the rising death toll makes the prospect of serious negotiations increasingly remote.

Mr. Mandela's conflicting public statements on violence may be prolonging the suffering. At a May 26 rally in Atterigeville, Mr. Mandela said of rival black groups: There are organizations which have imaginary armies, who have not conducted a single armed struggle in this country, who criticize us for trying to secure peace. Our patience is not likely to last very long. Two days later, the A.N.C. clashed with members of the Azanian People's Organization, a militant black-consciousness movement, in Maokeng, Orange Free State. Seven people were injured, three of them seriously.

The stain of violence has even touched Mr. Mandela's wife, Winnie, and her personal bodyguard squad, the Mandela United Football Club. The brutal beating and stabbing death last year of James (Stompie) Mokhetsi Seipei, a 14-year-old black youth accused by the defendants of collaboration, is a shocking tragedy close to the Mandela inner circle. The Government insists that Mrs. Mandela had no role in the beatings or killing. Nevertheless, two children who survived the beatings alleged in court testimony that Mrs. Mandela beat Stompie and flogged him with a sjambok, a leather whip often used by the South African police.

These and other acts of A.N.C. violence and intimidation call into question the group's commitment to political pluralism. The concept of pluralism is founded in tolerance for opposing views. The violence and intimidation of apartheid are what Mr. Mandela seeks to wring out of South African society. It seems unlikely he will achieve that through violence and intimidation.

Noteworthy statement; “A black against black war have raged for years in the poor and remote townships of this country but this was the first time it struck the heart of the financial capital. What began as a bold march through Johannesburg to show off support for the Zulu led Inkatha Freedom Party, ended in a blood bath.” >>10901672

“South Africa - Mediators Meet Rival Black Leaders” at the Carlton Hotel - https://youtu.be/CbO-XZTl0pI

“International mediators met rival black leaders in South Africa on Wednesday (13/4) in an attempt to defuse the violence threatening historic all-race elections April 26-28. The seven-man mediation team led by former U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger and former British foreign secretary Lord Carrington arrived in Johannesburg on Tuesday at the request of Inkatha Freedom Party head Mangosuthu Buthelezi.” >>11028678 [The Carlton Hotel will be discussed further at “South Africa Time Capsule 4 – Violence Post First “Democratic” Election”]

Later Mandela admitted to give instructions to protect the building:

“Even as a Head of State, his honesty drove him to make admissions that few others at the helm of their country would dare. On 1 June 1995, President Mandela spoke in the National Assembly about the Shell House Massacre of 28 March 1994, in which eight civilians died when security at the ANC's Headquarters opened fire.

In total, 60 lives were lost and 300 were injured. A year later, in the National Assembly, Mandela said, "'I gave instructions to our security that if they attacked the house, please you must protect that house - even if you have to kill people."” - https://www.politicsweb.co.za/party/mandelas-honesty-about-shell-house-enhanced-my-adm >>10911510

The media blamed the rightwing for the violence:

“Around the country, the infirm, elderly and sick defied both a rightwing bombing campaign and widespread problems at polling stations in an extraordinary demonstration of hunger for the franchise.” https://www.theguardian.com/world/1994/apr/27/southafrica.davidberesford

”Allegations of fraud and intimidation surrounded the election day”

“Political violence decreased dramatically following the IFP's agreement to contest the elections, and the election days themselves were amongst the most peaceful in several years. Nevertheless, violence had an incalculable effect on the election result, since large areas of rural KwaZulu had been off-limits to parties other than the IFP or to officials of the Independent Electoral Commission, the body charged with administration of the elections, throughout the campaign period. Moreover, substantial allegations of fraud and intimidation surrounded the election days themselves.” Human Rights Watch stated in a report, “South Africa: Threats to a New Democracy: Continuing Violence in KwaZulu-Natal”, dated 1 May 1995 at https://www.refworld.org/docid/3ae6a84aa.html

South Africa Time Capsule 4 – Violence Post First “Democratic” Election

Carlton Hotel, Johannesburg, Closed in 1998

>>11014170 - “Inside the ghostly hotel that symbolises South Africa’s past From decadence to decay” at https://www.huckmag.com/art-and-culture/photography-2/abandoned-hotel-carlton-johannesburg-south-africa-history/ states;

“In Johannesburg, the pair were astonished by the Carlton’s empty shell and began to research its history. Past guests included Henry Kissinger, Hillary Clinton, Margaret Thatcher, Whitney Houston and Mick Jagger; there were strikes, protests, bomb threats and high-profile banquets.

Leif and Yvonne established that Nelson Mandela lived in the hotel’s presidential suite during South Africa’s transition from white-minority rule. He held his 75th birthday celebration in its ballroom and, in 1994, gave a victory speech there announcing that he would be South Africa’s next president.

But within just a few years, the Central Business District it was located in deteriorated rapidly and its 670 rooms became impossible to fill.

In 1997, two hotel employees murdered one of their managers after he found them drinking on duty.”

“Capturing such contrasts seemed to provide a profound reflection, not just on what was once the southern hemisphere’s best hotel, but a symbol of of South Africa’s complex history.

“At its completion in the 1970s, the Carlton Hotel was deemed a liberal hub where petty apartheid laws managed to be eroded,” says Yvonne.

“On the other hand, it stands as a monument of financial gains made on the backs of the disenfranchised… It remains a stark reminder of international collusion to uphold, or turn a blind eye, to a broken system.”

“SA Law, 2004 - South Africans are taking the law into their own hands, as communities feel they are abandoned by police, some say it's worse than during Apartheid.”

“A decade on from the end of Apartheid, many believe that the streets are more dangerous than ever before.”

The documentary starts with these words, “10 years after the end of Apartheid, South Africa’s Johannesburg has become one of the most violent cities in the world.”

“IN ANGOLA, OIL AND POLITICS MIX” dated Jan. 5, 1985at https://www.nytimes.com/1985/01/05/business/in-angola-oil-and-politics-mix.html states

In this odd corner of Africa, American businessmen, Angolan Marxists and Cuban soldiers mesh smoothly with the lubricant of oil.

In an arrangement that has changed little since 1976, the Americans pump the oil that gives the Angolans the money to pay the Cubans who protect the revolution.

Angola, whose economy is prostrate after a decade of civil war and foreign invasions, depends on oil and oil products for about $2 billion - or 89 percent - of its foreign exchange earnings. Much of this hard currency goes to pay for the estimated 35,000 Cuban troops who provide the backbone of Angola's defense.

The Cuban presence has ostensibly prevented the United States from opening diplomatic relations with Angola. But it has not prevented American businessmen from becoming the biggest players in Angola's economy.

The United States was Angola's single largest trading partner last year, buying 53 percent of Angola's oil exports. American banks provide virtually all the short- and long-term financing for Sonangol, Angola's state oil company, which has a 51 percent controlling share in Cabinda Gulf. Specifically, Morgan Guaranty, Bankers Trust, Citibank, Chase Manhattan and Manufacturers Hanover have lent Sonangol more than $200 million.

Another approximately $230 million has been lent by the Export-Import Bank, a United States Government arm that makes or guarantees loans to encourage foreigners to trade with the United States.

Officials of the Gulf Corporation expect to invest $80 million to $100 million in their operations here in 1985 . By their calculations, this will be the largest investment by any United States company in a country that has no diplomatic relations with the United States.

In a tribute to Cabinda's importance, James E. Lee, chairman of Gulf, and George M. Keller, chairman of the Chevron Corporation, which is acquiring Gulf, recently toured Cabinda's oilfields. In an interview in Luanda, Angola's capital, after the visit, they discussed their working relations with the Angolans.

On Nov. 8, 1975, three days before Angola's independence, a 2,000-man invasion force crossed the border from Zaire. With the help of Cuban advisers, the Angolans repelled the invaders, killing about 300. Since then, about 2,000 Cuban troops have been stationed in the territory to provide security. An additional 300 Cubans are cutting timber in Cabinda's Mayombe rain forest on the border with Zaire.

Noting the strategic importance of the Cubans, Angola's President, Jose Eduardo dos Santos, who was trained as a petroleum engineer in the Soviet Union, wrote in a letter to the United Nations last November that the Cuban troops in Cabinda would be among the last to leave the country.

Today, American conservatives accuse Gulf of propping up a Marxist regime in Africa. Ten years ago, American liberals accused Gulf of propping up Portuguese colonialism in Africa.

Mr. Keller, who, as chairman of Chevron, will have the final say over Gulf operations in Angola in coming years, mulled over that shift in the political winds.

He concluded, We have to be completely apolitical.

“In FIREARM RIGHTS: GFSA’s [Gun Free South Africa] Myths – The FCA of 2000 saved lives and other fairytales”- https://paratus.info/2017/12/07/gfsa-myths-fca-saved-lives/. Below are a few excerpts.

GFSA’s self-stated goal is to supposedly make South Africa safer by “reducing gun-related violence”. So far, so good. Problems begin creeping in when one takes a gander at their methodology and the bizarre conclusions they draw. Especially where the FCA of 2000 is concerned. Here follows an analysis of some of their favourite myths, untruths, and outright lies.

GFSA were instrumental in the creation of the Firearms Control Act of 2000. This is something of which they are rather proud. They also claim the FCA saved lives: “more than 4500 lives were saved across five SA cities from 2001 to 2005”. That soundbite comes from a research article by Dr. Richard Matzopoulos published in the SAMJ. There are numerous serious problems with Dr. Matzopoulos’s research. The most obvious one is that it was impossible for the FCA to save any lives between 2001 and 2005, since it only became law in July 2004.

The South African homicide rate peaked in 1991 at just below 79 homicides per 100 000. It then started a long-run downward trend throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. The vertical red line represents the Firearms Control Act becoming law in mid-2004. We can make several interesting observations from this graph [see attachment].

o The murder rate started a notable downward trend from 1991, long before the creation of the FCA, and halved itself within 12 years.

o Immediately after the implementation of the FCA in mid-2004, the downward trend stopped and was briefly reversed.

o Similarly, the murder rate began increasing sharply after the 2010 National Firearm Amnesty. This is a correlation, and not necessarily a causal factor.

Additionally, published work by Dr. Richard Wesson further dismantles GFSA’s claim that the FCA saved lives. Dr. Wesson’s research is extensive, so I will only focus on a single aspect of it here. Approximately 777 963 new firearm licences were issued between 1994 and 1999. At the same time the firearm murder rate dropped by 6.5%, and the overall murder rate was in a long-run downward trend. In summary, during the same period in which more South African citizens bought and licenced firearms, the murder rate steeply declined.

More guns, less crime.

Another favourite GFSA myth propagated through the media is that criminals primarily source their firearms from civilians. This claim forms the foundation for GFSA’s accusation that civilian firearm owners are irresponsible, and should have their rights and privileges curtailed. They choose to ignore the fact that the SAPS lose around 8 times as many firearms per capita as civilians do. As if to emphasise this, there have been several high-profile scandals in 2017 alone regarding firearms lost due to SAPS corruption.

GFSA were a major role-player in the 2010 National Firearm Amnesty. This is the exact same amnesty where citizens surrendered firearms to the SAPS which were later sold by the corrupt Colonel Chris Prinsloo to criminal gangs. Prinsloo leaked more than 2400 guns to criminals over an 8-year period. Police linked over 1000 murders to these guns. Thanks to GFSA pushing the amnesty and senior SAPS officials intimidating the public, thousands of citizens surrendered their guns to the police. And then corrupt police officers leaked thousands of those guns to criminals. Criminals who then used those guns to rob, rape, and murder innocent people.

If those guns stayed safe and sound in civilian hands, how many lives would have been saved?

Gun Free South Africa are therefore directly complicit in arming dangerous and violent criminals. Their amnesty provided the perfect vehicle to channel civilian firearms to criminal gangs. They have never accepted responsibility for the role they played. Instead they ran an advertisement attacking civilian firearm owners.

Apart from the role they played in arming criminals, GFSA are also fond of scaring people into being defenceless victims. According to GFSA, “research in South Africa shows that you are four times more likely to have your gun used against you than to be able to use it successfully in self-defence”. This is an outright fabrication. GFSA base their claim on research done by Anthony Altbeker.

GFSA would rather see a woman robbed, raped, or murdered than have her successfully defend herself against armed criminals. Such wallowing in victimhood is not only unbecoming: it is dangerous. It is also a perversion of logic and morality. Especially when considering how many ordinary citizens have successfully fought back against their attackers.
