I loved the way news about the failure of the Hitachi boilers at the still-under-construction Medupi power plant was handled. While conceding that Hitachi, partly owned now directly by the African National Congress (ANC) through its investment arm, Chancellor House, and through which it got the multibillion-rand boiler contract in the first place, had made a mess of the boilers Eskom required, the spin was that there were many other problems at the plant as well.
Yes, maybe, but none of them were brought to us courtesy of the ANC’s party-funding machine. I trust Eskom has the courage to require significant penalties from Hitachi for the mess. Medupi was supposed to come onstream this year. I doubt it will, in any meaningful way, because the boiler problem is just too serious. Remember, too, that Hitachi/ANC is also supplying boilers to Kusile, the coal-fired station that is set to follow Medupi.
Between them, the two power stations will add 10% to SA’s generating capacity. But until Hitachi gets its act together and produces a boiler that won’t explode as the steam inside it builds to unthinkable pressure levels, they’ll produce nothing.

Doornpoort Pretoria's new Mining town?
Updated 06 March 2013
PROPOSED PROSPECTING FOR PLATINUM ON THE FARM DOORNPOORT 295 JR
WOULD YOU LIKE A MINE RIGHT ON YOUR OWN DOORSTEP?
Gemsbok Platinum (Pty) Ltd. has lodged an application for platinum prospecting rights on the remainder of the Farm Doornpoort 295JR, situated approximately 10 km north of Pretoria on the outskirts the suburb Doornpoort.

An environmental consultancy has confirmed that Gemsbok Platinum (Pty) Ltd, a subsidiary of Sable Platinum Holdings has lodged an application for prospecting rights with the Department of Minerals and Energy on this land that is in extent of 2779,64 hectares. (Source)
The proposed prospecting would be conducted over the next 5 years.
Awarding of prospecting rights would lead to mining permits. Mining activities can affect the area for up to 30 years.
This development would most probably impact negatively upon ALL property prices in the enitre Doornpoort, Sinoville, Montane, Magalieskruin area. In fact it would impact on the entire region, including the Moot area, Derdepoort, Kameeldrift and surrounds.
The quiet neighbourhood north of the Magalies berg would be lost forever - squatters, violent mining strikes, hostels and compounds, dust, noise, traffic, trucks and every other curse would follow.

So South Africa is a stable economy built on solid rock is it?
There is not a single example in the history of the world where a revolutionary communist terrorist movement had taken control of any country and made a success of it. One could call a terrorist a "freedom fighter", but once a terrorists, always a terrorist. Never in the past 100 years had the ANC ever had to work for their money, because standing with their cupped hands they've always been sponsored by a criminal liberal world. The ANC is nothing other than a bunch of spoiled beggars. Anyone who gives a country to a group of beggars with AK47s must expect the worst. Anyone who sympathises with the followers of terrorists is a fool to say the least. Only liberals are so feeble minded as to think it could work. Perhaps it has been working for the appeasing liberals who took their BEE money and fled, but the rest will suffer the consequences of the actions of the appeasing industry and liberals.
Think about this:

Human Rights Watch World Report 2013 - SOUTH AFRICA
The killing of 34 miners at the Lonmin Platinum Mine in Marikana, North West Province, on August 16, 2012, shocked South Africans and highlighted increasing concerns over police brutality and underlying grievances over the government’s failure to fulfill basic economic and social rights.
Despite South Africa’s strong constitutional protections for human rights and its relative success at providing basic services, the government is struggling to meet public demands for better realization of economic and social rights. In addition, financial mismanagement, corruption, and concerns about the capacity of leadership and administration—especially at the local government level have contributed to further delaying the progressive realization of economic and social rights.
Concerns that the ruling African National Congress (ANC) is increasingly encroaching on civil and political rights are exemplified by the Protection of State Information Bill which the National Assembly passed in 2011, but has not yet become law. Debates over its constitutionality regarding its impact on freedom of expression continued in 2012. At this writing, the Traditional Courts Bill, which parliament was considering, may have negative implications for vulnerable groups such as women, children, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) persons to access justice and other rights.

Survival of the White South African Part 4
The year is 2013 and life no longer is as it used to be.
In order for us as family and friends to survive in this new African communist state we need to consider a few important aspects regarding our new environment.
We are responsible for ourselves and our own future and in order for us to take responsibility we need to realise that:
Those that are planning to leave the country will do so and as such we do not need to concern ourselves with them. Once they leave they'll be ok, in as far as the crime and violence against whites in SA is concerned. They would have new battles to fight, but we would no longer need to concern ourselves with their safety.
Those who are planning to secede, establish a volkstaat or some other form of self-determination are on their way and we no longer need concern ourselves with them. Once they leave they too would be ok, have their own new battles to fight, but we would no longer need to concern ourselves with their safety and well-being.
We need only concern ourselves with our own safety and survival in this new dark communist African state where we are viewed as the unwelcome aliens.
A very small number of people are in a position to leave the country. Many of us are simply not interested and many of us are too close to our families to free ourselves and leave.
The self-determination (volkstaat) groups have their own exclusion criteria, which automatically excludes most of us. Besides that it would also be virtually impossible for most people to sell-up or pack-up and leave and only a small elite may see the new Canaan.
Both the above groups are focussed on their new environment, their new "country" so to speak. Their planning does not involve the rest of us as their planning is focussed on their future home. Their career planning, safety and security planning and every aspect of their planning is focussed on where they are headed and not on where they are currently still finding themselves.
The pro-New South Africa ANC appeasing liberals are happy in their new environment. They agree with everything going on and they feel safe as they do not believe there is any threat to them or their future generations. We do not need to concern ourselves with them in the least.
Then there are a few blessed souls who just pray and they receive an impenetrable protective shield around them. We certainly do not need to concern ourselves with them as no harm could ever come to them.
The rest of us on the other hand have to focus on our future, our safety and security right here, right now and in future. So let us focus on ourselves for a change.

The Role Of The Indian People In The South African Revolution: An Interview In 1968
QUESTION: Dr. Dadoo, you have just published a leaflet which is the first public call you have made to the Indian people since you left South Africa in 1960. Can you tell us what the background to this leaflet is, and why you have chosen to make your call at this time?
ANSWER: Today, history is witnessing a decisive turning point in the struggle for national liberation in South Africa. Armed struggle has begun. Under the leadership of the African National Congress in alliance with the Congress movement, the brave freedom fighters of the Umkhonto we Sizwe (Spear of the Nation) are on the march. Already combat units of Umkhonto, together with contingents of the Zimbabwe African People's Union, are giving battle to the armed forces of Ian Smith and Vorster in Rhodesia. Reliable reports from the battle front, contrary to the whitewashing accounts put out by the South African press and radio, indicate that the freedom fighters are fighting with great daring and skill, and are inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy. Even the enemy has to admit that the freedom fighters, whom he calls "terrorists", are not only well armed but highly skilful in the use of their weapons. It is on the cards that soon there will be fighting on South African soil.

Peter Schiff Reveals CPI Propaganda By Calculating Real Price Inflation
In a recent newsletter update and video message, Peter Schiff explained how the official price inflation measurement is not reflecting the daily reality. That is because since the 1970′s the preferred government inflation metrics have changed thoroughly. Beginning in the early 1980′s the methodologies were altered to compensate for a variety of consumer behavior. The new “chain weighted CPI” for instance incorporates changes in relative spending, substitution bias, and subjective improvements in product quality. If you simply focus on price, especially on those staple commodity goods and services that haven’t radically changed over the years, the underreporting of inflation becomes more apparent.
The conclusions should not come as a surprise to most of us. Our “intuition” already knows this but now it has also been proven statistically by Peter Schiff and his team. They conducted their own research to prove that real price inflation (the one that matters for 99% of citizens) is much higher than the official CPI index is revealing. Therefore the team randomly identified price changes of 10 everyday goods and services over two separate 10 year periods, and then compared those changes to the reported changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over the same period. The 10 selected items are: eggs, new cars, milk, gasoline, bread, rent of primary residence, coffee, dental services, potatoes, and electricity. Just to make sure, the team ran the same experiment with 10 different goods and services: sugar, airline tickets, butter, store bought beer, apples, public transportation, cereal, tires, beef and veal, and prescription drugs. The results were notably similar.
The prices were analyzed in the period between 1970 and 1980 and then again between 2002 and 2012, because these time frames both had big deficits and loose monetary policy. But they straddle the time in which the most significant changes to inflation measurement methodology took effect.

John Wayne on liberals
“I’m quite sure that the concept of a Government-run reservation… seems to be what the socialists are working for now — to have everyone cared for from cradle to grave…. But you can’t whine and bellyache ’cause somebody else got a break and you didn’t, like those Indians are. We’ll all be on a reservation soon if the socialists keep subsidizing groups like them with our tax money.” - John Wayne
Audio from Tony Macklin.net, 1975
