KeymasterI don’t know .. do we know what is considered upstream and downstream there? Perhaps search UNCLOS. I looked at the Australian system just for a moment and their markers are yellow and black .. But I did pick up that there are different systems – they say Western Australia uses an internationally recognised uniform coding system of navigation marks known as the IALA buoyage system A. So now we know, there are different systems.
That could be a start.

KeymasterGet ready .. there is more global stress on the way. Jeff Brown just sent info ..
What just happened in Taiwan this week portends martial law and a hot war with the PRC.
In addition, Japan is putting up or going to put up missiles that can reach Beijing and North Korea, similar style to the ones in Germany and other European venues.
I’ll get this stuff up and running as soon as I can. (Today is Sunday eh? Yikes).
Looking at the pattern and trends early morning at my wake-up time it becomes very clear that the west is preparing for real hot war but by proxy. Same as what is happening in what we used to call “The Holy Land.”

KeymasterAnd so fast it turned to neo-colonialism when colonialism started breaking down. All that happened was that Africans were put on the pictures and called rulers, while the old colonial empires still quietly held their power.
Only the Sahel group is making strides in overcoming neocolonialism. I respect that, but the head-choppers have been called on them. They are doing the right things but still hanging on by their fingernails.
I do like Femi Akomolafe. https://substack.com/@femi6a133

The Great Sociologist Herbert Aptheker called it “The Laureate of Imperialists.”
We will never know what it is that makes Black people seek validation from their colonizers and slavers like famished hyenas salivate for bones.
Imagine African journalists jockeying for BBC or CNN Awards😭😭😭

KeymasterThe South African Ambassador has just been thrown out of Washington and sent home because of race baiting.
I am slowly gathering the oohmph to write about South Africa. First, we need to split the government from the party, the ANC. It was the ANC, not the government that connived with Iran and for payment set up the South African court case of genocide against Netanyahu. In addition, in this pressurised environment on Iran, they are discussion sharing of nuclear technology and proudly posting the pictures. This is not a favor to Iran, neither to BRICS and is very misguided. This is not the government, it is the ANC.
Instead of being clever with Donald Trump, they keep insulting him and his people. We do not see that with any other diplomat. Yeah, there are insults, but nobody is trying to disrespect the office of the President. The ANC has not learned how to do that,and this thick in the head Ambassador made a long speech about Donald Trump and Maga creating a white supremacist movement across the world and South Africa should withstand that. So, race baiting and they threw him out. It is not wise to fight Trump head to head. He can make life very difficult. I expect sanctions on the ANC top dogs.
It was posted by Joel Pollak, the guy that seems to be front running for Ambassador to South Africa. There is a woman currently in the spot, but she quit.
Why BRICS is not helping South Africa, is that they understand the difference between the Government and the ANC. That is what I should write about and tease out. It is easy to say South Africa is part of the War on BRICS, but that is but only one segment of the insanity happening there now and it is still insane.
People are beginning to understand that, and under that banner, the civil societies that went to visit the US and begged them not to drop the free trade agreement Agoa, but rather punish the ANC cadres that are stealing the place blind. South Africa has broken the requirements for this free trade agreement by orders of magnitude and the US is their 2nd highest trading partner. This Ambassador was not spoken to by the US since Trump’s inauguration. The current expectation is only a 3/10 chance for the ANC (40+%) to escape IMF urgent bailout and for South Africa to be in bondage for years to come, as the 2nd attempt at reading a budget also failed just days ago.
I feel better. With much reading and trying to understand WTF, I could make the split between the party (ANC) and the government, which is a coalition, GNU, Government of National Unity and can explain that all now. Let me just say this is not why I fought against apartheid in my day.
I’m going to leave something here for you. This guy is exceedingly rich – he went back to South Africa about seven years ago to see the place and let his children experience what is left, and then stayed to see if he could help save that incredibly beautiful country. He is a hard capitalist, and what he says will make you angry. He does not like the countries we like and I would ask for one time to leave the dogma and ideology behind in order to get the message. His reasons are all wrong, but his numbers and economics are all right. I see a stat that he did not mention, South Africa has the 2nd highest number of embassies in the world, generally accepted to be retirement posts for ANC cadres.
I was so upset about all this, that I threw the country away. But with more studying I can even play some music again. So for the 5th time I threw my article away and feel that with a clearer head I can say what is the War on BRICS and what is internal capture of state resources to the extent that few people can even contemplate. I also see a community beginning to work together because they realize that they are in a complete state of an economically failing country.
I can even play some music again .. Johnny Clegg and Juluka – Woza Friday!

KeymasterThanks AHH, for doing that favor on a “quiet” news day… I’m just back here after doing some other stuff and it is unbelievable that one cannot catch up with the happenings on half of a SUNDAY!
Thanks for this posting as well as this is now forming my update for the day! Yikes.

KeymasterTossing red meat at wild dogs and shifting history is the name of the game right now.
I laughed .. Trump says .. ‘Zelensky took money from US like candy from a baby’ — instead of .. we gave bunches, massive amounts of money and weapons to Ukraine. A big shift of emphasis everywhere. Of course they cannot expose the Epstein files because their friends are there.

KeymasterTrump announced that the US stops federal funding to South Africa. Not sure what this means now.

KeymasterOops .. this is a segment and sorry, I don’t have anything else but this Telegram clip and I don’t want any more ..
Going off the rails on the theater in the white house with Zelenski. Educational on many levels.amarynth
KeymasterThanks Anil for your words. You tell it as it is, having walked the road!
Thanks AHH for your words. You set the vision yet again.
And HUUUGE! THANKS to EmersonReturn for consistently telling the good stories. The Sahel is exceptional now. I do trust the Musketeers have superb security.
I’ll stay here for a while with the South Africa story .. less formal. There is another video that I want to post, but that will require us to suspend for a moment our ideology on capitalism and socialism and other ideas of such a nature. Business is business as we know – and the mechanics of that only change once we bring in the ‘worker’ part. Again, China is walking ahead and teaching the world – the state owned businesses are on a par with private ownership in terms of competitiveness. There are none of the ideas that we go and sit on our duffs and the State pays.
Let’s step back to the G20 – where, to the world, it seemed like Russia and China supported Ramaphosa. But this was decidedly not so. What they covered for, was the African Union as a whole. Now I have a whisper that China told Ramaphosa to quit the race laws – but have no link for that. But we won’t get a link, we will get a journo that breaks ranks. I believe that as I know that China has been speaking since the previous election where the Ambassador posted a burning letter, to stop the shit. I must go and look for that as well. Now what we see in the social media is the cadres saying they don’t care a fig about China, or Trump or anyone, they just want to kill the whites and then .. magically a Nirvana of Freedom and Equality and of course, Money and Prosperity! will fall from the heavens.
They better start worrying about Trump because he is a fierce opponent and he “has the cards” in this instance and as we all saw, he does not like to be disrespected. (We can only look at Mexico that despite all, still treats him with the correct forms in diplomacy). To absolutely not understand your enemy is the height of wishful thinking.

KeymasterLots of other things happening. Economically the World Bank just gave a warning .. there is no money left .. the cadres took it all so the world bank says drop the stupid racist laws .. No money.
The IMF may do an emergency bailout. But then they have a rope around their necks forever. There already is a big IMF loan from Covid Times.In the meantime, all is blamed on the whites. If you get further into that you will see that there is not a government, but still, after all these years, only a ‘fight for liberty’. Reminds me of a Nelson Mandela quote .. Years ago to the country .. If the ANC tries to do to you what apartheid did to us, then you must do the very same to the ANC.
Conditions are dire. The US (Oh man … there is nowhere to go and that is why they went to the US .. you will see in the interview that they do know exactly what role the US played through the years).
I don’t want to write about this. In fact, I want to write and put something together but I cant .. I find myself just unable and I find other things to do – I get tired, I sweep the house, I go and make a coffee, I decide to take a rest .. I just cannot.
The Trump administration saw the community groups that went to visit. Up to this moment, they have not seen the ‘government’. Expected is sanctions on all of the ANC leaders, perhaps general sanctions and for sure they will lose AGOA – the free trade agreement – as they have grossly exceeded the rules of the agreement. 20% of the country’s income and thousands of jobs ..
Listen to it if you can. They are not socialist at all, hate communism (because of what they see as local communism).
BRICS won’t help, Russia won’t help, China won’t help because the problem is systemic – and they also do not want to see these racist laws. I just watched a little clip from the Mayor of Gauteng .. Johannesburg. Cool as a cucumber he says that there are only a few roads without deep potholes and with working lights .. and those are the ones that they fixed for the G20. Falling apart stage.

KeymasterLet me rant once more. Listen to Tulsi Gabbard .. not all the stuff about Ukraine, but where she says the US is at war with Russia and China – flatout in the open.

KeymasterNico, this fellow is asking for another chance for the US right now because …. Trump. The poor deluded .. well … Ritter always does this .. find some cause he can run towards that makes him feel good and he preaches it brother. Tomorrow it will be ingrowing toenails.
And then he tries to scare an Indian guy with being dead because of a nuclear war. Who will start such a thing? Just think. Since ripper turned Trump he rewrites history just as fast as Trump and Netanyahu does.
I wonder if we all know why Trump wants the rare earths – at least his Good for Ukraine excuse?
He says … US staff, engineers and miners and so on will be in the Ukraine and Russia will not attack Ukraine. Stupid stupid man! If there is not security and indivisible security Russia will keep on shooting. Trump cannot fix this problem and it irks him terribly! He wants to be the hero! Scott, since he turned full-on Trump – his new cause – has gone stupid. They all go dilly.
Trump is trying to break free? Oh Puhleeeze. He is trying to balance his budget by plundering everything else he can plunder from others. Nothing has changed. Just Scott has picked up Trumpism. I cannot even tell you what they say about him in other war theaters. There is a word .. verbal diarrhea. Aaargh .. life is too short to give Trump a chance. The stupid US killed Europe and Europe enthusiastically participated.
Cheers.
