    Exploding busses .. it stinks of false flag.  There is one bomb that had the proverbial ‘undamaged passport’ – what was written on it was “a gift from Tulkarm camp”.

    Cyril Ramaphosa caved hours before his opening speech at the G20, which was about solidarity, equality, and sustainability. He then went on to make a not-very-well-disguised grab for climate change funds. The expropriation bill or act immediately stopped all possible investment in South Africa.

    I’m watching the BRICS members and their interactions with Cyril at the G20.  There is a marked change.  Let me show you one .. Lavrov is of course shaking hands and meeting everyone, as he does.  The Russian MFA publishes each of those interactions.  For his meet with Ramaphosa, their description is that Lavrov met Ramaphosa (check out the scarequotes) “on the margins” of the G20 .. not the sidelines, but margins in scarequotes – nobody else is in scarequotes.  So far I have not seen China meet with Ramaphosa.

    Of course Cyril must disappear the news of Iran lending money to the ANC – and for that money, Iran paid them to start the ICC court case against Israel.  I’ve not seen another reference to this.

    This news comes from the man that is highly slated as Trump’s Ambassador to South Africa – Joel Polack.  His headline (of course he is a solid Trumpster), Trump Vindicated as South Africa Considers Bill to Redistribute Land on Racial Lines …  The Expropriation without Compensation act is now Equitable Access to Land and all stakeholders are invited to come and discuss it. According to the schedule, Cabinet is due to discuss the Bill in March already, followed by public submissions in April and May, a review by Nedlac [the National Economic Development and Labour Council] in August and tabling to Parliament in October.  There is a process to rectify the unequal distribution of land from the apartheid years, and nobody is against that process, except that it has been completely hijacked, and theft is rampant with multiple claims (the money, not the land) by the same people.

    But I am glad.  Of course Cyril will try it on again, but now everyone is aware and so far it looks like he is getting the cold shoulder from his BRICS collegues.  He is hanging on by his fingernails and the government of national unity (GNU) set together because the ANC did not get the votes to govern, is threatening to fall apart.  As a side benefit the issue about farm murders is now getting attention again.

    I’m watching carefully because I want neither Iran, nor BRICS as whole, nor the ordinary South Africans harmed but Ramaphosa and his criminal government can go and jump in the ocean as far as I am concerned- he does not even have a mandate.  This time there will be a wide interest and they will not get away with not registering land (and saying the whites own it), and double and triple land claims from government cadres (for money, not for land).

    BRICS countries must clean up their acts.   I checked out this morning what is happening with the BRICS organization in Brazil.  Nothing .. even their website is not up to date.

    A massive scandal has just broken loose. AHH will remember the name Nalendi Pandor—the previous foreign minister of South Africa. We talked a little about her disappearing after she lost her seat in the previous elections. Well, she has surfaced. And now we will understand the “very bad things are happening in South Africa” that Donald Trump talked about, of course from his perspective and rightly or wrongly.

    First, facts:
    Without AGOA, the African Growth and Opportunity Act, there will be significant problems. So, this is a trade agreement with the US and has been with around 30 countries since around 2000. How popular will South Africa be in Africa if this trade agreement is canceled?
    Second, what can Nalendi do all by herself to create those “very bad things” that piss of the US mightily?
    There is currently no way in hell that South Africa can fight the US – they don’t have the smarts and it is like a mouse trying to fight a gorilla.

    The question that certain people researched was: what are the BRICS countries really doing to support South Africa? One marshmallow comment from China – one kind comment and crickets. The rest are not saying a word. It seems that at least Russia and China know what has happened here. So, they don’t want to touch this. It looks like Cyril Ramaphosa quickly signed the expropriation without compensation to hide the real scandal which is part of what Trump is harping upon.

    The real scandal is that Nalendi worked with Iran for money to cover some governmental debt quietly, while the exports under AGOA to the US and exports to Israel continued (not only coal, which we knew about). The second part of this scandal is that South Africa was paid off to start the case against Israel while happily exporting to Israel.

    It seems Nalendi sat on two chairs and the government has been found out big time!. A while ago, there was a great need for government money in South Africa, and all of a sudden, the money was there, as if by magic. It is said it came from Iran as payment for starting the genocide case against Israel. Those who are digging into this cannot confirm (yet) that it was Iran on the other side of this trade. I caution it might not be but so far .. it looks like it.
    So I just listened to a little clip of Pandor (local language). She blames the civil societies that are fighting the expropriation without compensation legislation. This is not only land, this is also businesses or companies or anything of value – even a vehicle that you might be driving along the road. And she said a bit too much. This is what she said .. If you cannot export your grapes to Israel, blame the civil societies and ask them for your money. If you cannot export your products to the US, it is the civil societies – go and ask them for your money.

    So South Africa has continually traded with Israel, while being paid off to run the genocide case against them.

    Thus, civil societies are pushed into the hands of the US. Delegations are being given a hearing, and they ask that if there are sanctions or further ‘punishment’, please punish the government, not the people. So far, the South African government cannot even get a hearing in the US—they are being totally ignored.

    I cannot even tell how much harm this will cost. The case against Israel will just quietly fall apart and god knows who South Africa is going to trade with. Hatred against Iran is being expressed, and any willingness to at least countenance BRICS for 25% of the population is gone – they wanted a neutral state for South Africa. And that is just a start. The South African government wow .. they did not do BRICS any favors, they did not do their own people any favors – the only one that I can count, is that they did Israel a massive favor.

    RT has just broken the story, of course not translating the words of Pandor in full. The comments however are direct .. So madam, if you have no proof, why make the accusation and why the conjecture? BTW so maybe the lady would answer this question. How much did Iran pay to the ANC to take Israel to the ICJ? And did you benefit in any way? https://www.rt.com/africa/613016-naledi-pandor-suggest-afriforum-mend-south-africa-us-ties/

    This is what is happening in South Africa now.  There are racists.  These are the people who started the case against Israel. This is why I do not believe them .. not a word – they are there for press opportunity. They are trying to create a so-called holocaust out of a period of apartheid that did not last very long.  They have been told (by the guy that will probably become the new US Ambassador to South Africa, that the attitude may give them a short feeling of power, but it will not be underwritten with money.  What I am showing here are not outlier positions, but as Trump puts the squeeze, so the punishment is pushed down to the ordinary people.

    I want to say categorically ..what was wrong and unconscionably wrong during the apartheid years, de facto from 1984 to late 1980’s, is wrong today.

    The statistic that whites own 70% of land, is screamingly wrong, but it gets repeated. This statistic is formed by backing out government land, and all other land so it looks high. In reality according to the goverment’s own statistics, the ownership rate of farm land is 24%, and I guess, they are farmers. Expropriation of land without compensation has a nasty twist in the tail. If your house, or smallholding or farm gets expropirated, you most probably still have a bank loan. Now you have to still pay back the bank having just lost your own sustenance.

    What is also comfortably left out of the conversation is that there has been for many years a commission to take land claims, and compensate for them. What happened here is that anyone and their dog made landclaims, chose the money instead of getting the land back, and promptly made a new landclaim, because they are ‘landless’. This is being perpetrated by mostly government cadres and the collect the money time after time. There is now something like 8,000 millionaires in ordinary government offices. China knows and besides political support, South Africa will not get much more. Russia knows, but they will preach on their good relationships with Africa.

    Can you see why I do not want to write about this formally? Its just too hard.

    In the meantime all Trump and Elon Musk wants, is to raid the educated white population as migrants. There is also the fact that how ever many times the South African government tried to discuss this with the US, they get no reply whatsoever.

    Musk is a part of this. The sadness is that however bad the US policies are, the ones internal to South Africa are worse. Musk wanted to open Starlink. He was told in no uncertain terms that he needs a black partner – these agreements are usually for a 30% ownership. Now this black partner must be paid, but is not expected to do any work or to turn up at all, only for press. So, Musk said no. And in this case, I think he was justified. He is quite nasty in his own right, so I think he is flaming the issue, hoping for a bunch of whites to go to the US. Uhm .. Bad JuJu happening all around on the racist ticket.

    The government is making a serious error of judgement. A bunch of US lawmakers have written a letter to Trump saying that the AGOA free trade agreement must be ended. If that happens, there will be extreme hunger and there is a big chance of a civil war. Agoa also affects 30 African countries. With that kind of economics, one has to be careful.

    That Delta flight that crashed in Toronto and ended up on his back basically – nobody killed that I heard of but of course injuries.

    So I watched a recent Scott Ritter where he had the full story already told, with ‘facts’ as he liked them, and a glorious victory for Trump.  It is so strange.  For a fellow that says he does not like Trump, he believes him every time.

    Anyway, Pepe Escobar, in his fine style commented:

    SCOTT RITTER: Trump’s Munich Strategy – Consortium News

    SCOTT RITTER: Trump’s Munich Strategy

    Loved how Scott has woven Dennis Hopper on Apocalypse Now, Steppenwolf, Jefferson Airplane and the OODA-loop in a magic carpet ride of a narrative. Not necessarily real though: it all could be just an acid trip gone wrong.

    Far as I know Mr P is that this Ukraine specific meeting is supposed to take place after the Munich summit, and not as part of it.  I have not seen any professional source (excepting Trump and his trumpets) announcing it.  Perhaps there is something.  No, Russia was not invited to the Munich summit.

    Something for Mr P

    The American USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) aircraft carrier collided with a merchant vessel Besiktas-M last night near the north end of the Suez Canal in Egypt.

    The incident is being investigated. https://t.me/FotrosResistance/11907

    “[beautiful. I am getting optimistic too Amarynth. What a few days]”

    Very good!  He is almost breathless but he is identifying the tips of trends.  And yes, the aid trucks started flowing again today with everything that was prohibited before.

    Great piece!

    What a change for the books. The Afrikaners are sending Trump and his horse that he rode in on, and his plan for refugees to hell. There was this little clip .. a youngish women saying .. Aaah, I woke up this morning and found out I was a refugee. OK, I heard you want to replace the Mexicans and I’ll come for a while, but I’m actually an illustrator, so, you want me to come and do your portraits for free? How many Mexicans will I replace with my illustrations. Or should I take over all of the Mexican tasks and wash your bathrooms and your toilets.

    The jokes are flying fast. The message is FU. We have a major problem with our government. We don’t want your money, we want political support?. Now can you do that, or not?

    Here is a more serious one:

    OK, there is a squatter camp in just about every town. The next one who tells me the ‘whites are rich’ is going to get a foot in the face.

    It is very seldom that we can get a clip of these situations as they are warned they will get killed if they advertise their circumstances.  Last time I was there, probably 15 years ago, I wanted to go and dig a vegetable garden for one of these camps, but I was told not to as it is hopeless. It gets stolen before a vegetable is even grown.

    The cadres stealing here in this video, is from the EFF.  Economic Freedom Fighters.  They have this man in parliament.

    His name is Julius Malema and he is the one who dances around with a machine gun at his political rallies, singing, Kill the farmer, Kill the Boer.  He has been taken to court for hatespeech a few times, but each time gets off somehow.  He is also the one that they interview at RT.  He has about a 4th grade education but someone gave him a special degree or something.

    Now people say to me .. why do they not move?  Where to?  There is no right of return to any European country, and that is if they know which country they originally came from.  Dutch intermarried with French intermarried with Italian intermarried with Belgian .. these people integrated and they are Afrikaners.  They are now trying to arrange a status as a defined ethnic group.

    Now Trump wants to get the ones with skills to move to the US.  These are the ones that support camps like these.    But these people are an ethnic group.  There are already videos out telling him that they do not want to move to the US, but if they can get authentication as a defined ethnic group, then they can improve their own circumstances.   There is also letters to Trump from some of the social support structures asking him please do not sanction – it is these people that will suffer.
