After Snubbing Thatcher Funeral, Obama and Michelle to Visit South Africa for Mandela
Breitbart ^

Posted on 12/06/2013 9:42:24 PM PST by chessplayer

On Friday, the White House announced that President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama would travel to South Africa next weeks to pay their respects to Nelson Mandela. Obama has already announced that the White House will fly the flags at half-staff though December 9 in Mandela’s honor.

When former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died, President Obama did not lower the White House flags, nor did he attend her funeral, instead sending ex-Secretaries of State George Shultz and James Baker III.

Why is anybody surprised? Thatcher was just a “typical white woman”. Actually, very un-typical, but she wasn’t one of Obama’s people, so she didn’t count.

COMRADES OF THE WORLD UNITED IN LIVE AND DEATH

DON’T MOURN FOR MANDELA

Exclusive: Joseph Farah says man ‘wasn’t the saintly character portrayed by Morgan Freeman’
12/6/2013

by JOSEPH FARAH

Joseph Farah is founder, editor and CEO of WND and a nationally syndicated columnist with Creators News Service.. He is the author or co-author of 13 books, including his latest, “The Tea Party Manifesto,” and his classic, “Taking America Back,” now in its third edition and 14th printing. Farah is the former editor of the legendary Sacramento Union and other major-market dailies.

The whole world, pretty much, is mourning for Nelson Mandela today.

But most are not mourning for the real Mandela. They are, in fact, mourning for the myth of Mandela.
He was not Martin Luther King Jr. He was not Mahatma Gandhi. And he was certainly not George Washington, as Barack Obama claimed.

He was a committed member of the South African Communist Party. He was a leader of the revolutionary African National Congress, which he helped to radicalize into an organization sworn to armed, violent attacks.

Maybe you say: “But Farah, he was fighting against the evil of Apartheid!”

Yes, that is true. Apartheid was inarguably an evil and unjustifiable system. But so is the system Mandela’s revolution brought about – one in which anti-white racism is so strong today that a prominent genocide watchdog group has labeled the current situation a “precursor” to the deliberate, systematic elimination of the race.

In other words, the world has been sold a bill of goods about Mandela. He wasn’t the saintly character portrayed by Morgan Freeman. He wasn’t someone fighting for racial equality. He was the leader of a violent, Communist revolution that has nearly succeeded in all of its grisly horror.

But don’t believe me.

I’ve never been to South Africa – not during Apartheid and not after.

Instead, listen to Sonia Hruska. She was an early supporter of Mandela and worked in his administration.

“After about six years,” Hruska said, “I realized something serious is wrong; the communist elements are taking over, it’s not what we were promised.”

What did she see that the rest of the world missed?
“As a business owner, I can get 25 years in jail time if I do employ a white person, for instance,” she said. “It is totally ridiculous; you cannot have imagined that affirmative action could have gone so far.”

Today, in South Africa’s white population of 4 million, 1 million live in utter poverty.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.

Hruska describes routine, violent, racist atrocities of almost unimaginable proportions: Kidnap murders, home invasions, gang rapes.

“It’s heinous torture,” Hruska explained. “Even children as young as 2 months old get burned with hot water, get wrapped in newspaper and burned.”

In the case of one family, Hruska described a black mob breaking into a home, waiting for the white family to get home, then raping the mother in front of the father and son to see. Then, after killing the mother, they killed the father and son by plunging them into boiling water.
She said: “There is no easy way of saying exactly how these people are tortured. The standard would be a hot iron, electric iron, boiling water … and these are carried out for hours.”

You will read today many stories describing Mandela as a “political prisoner.”

In fact, he served 27 years in prison for 23 specific acts of sabotage and attempting to overthrow the government.

It was only a year ago that some of the international press began to report the truth about Mandela for the first time. Last December, the London Telegraph reported that, indeed, the records showed Mandela was not only a member of the South African Communist Party, he held a “senior rank.”

By the way, Mandela was offered his freedom while incarcerated many times. All he had to do was renounce terrorism. He wouldn’t do it.

Of course, it’s fashionable to forget about all of this today. Nelson Mandela is dead. He is being proclaimed a saint all over the world.

Nevertheless, these inconvenient truths need to be stated by someone because the Mandela mythology is as dangerous as the terror he and his followers perpetrated on so many innocent victims – white and black.

Why do so many on the left support and even worship Marxist lunatics like Mandela, Che Guevara, Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega and others of their ilk? Have they no sense at all!?

The old Biblical admonition about the fruit not falling far from the tree applies here, I should think. It's because they themselves are Marxist lunatics.

In honor of His Royal Highness, Barack Hussein, and Queen Michelle, “necklacing” will be the most important part of the pomp that will crown the celebration of Mandela’s funeral.

WINNIE MANDELA TO BE HUMAN SHIELD’

Nelson’s ex-wife, convicted of helping murder child, wants to protect Iraqi kids

WND 02/19/2003

Winnie Mandela, ex-wife of South Africa’s former leader Nelson Mandela – and long known for her open advocacy of torturing rivals, as well as for her 1991 conviction for being an accessory to the brutal murder of a 14-year-old boy – wants to travel to Iraq to become a “human shield” so she can protect Iraqi children from American attacks, according to the South African Press Association.

A member of parliament in the African National Congress, the controversial figure was known during the waning days of the apartheid era for her enthusiastic and public support of “necklacing” blacks suspected of “collaborating” with the white government.

“Necklacing,” typically carried out by members and supporters of the African National Congress, consisted of binding a black adversary hand and foot, draping gasoline-filled tires around legs, midriff, and neck, and setting the victim ablaze. Often, children were forced to witness their parents’ agonizing deaths.

Although she would later deny it, videotape of Mandela at a large, April 1986 outdoor rally in Soweto shows Winnie Mandela proclaiming to a large crowd: “We have no arms. But we have stones. We have our boxes of matches. We have our bottles. … With our necklaces, we will liberate this country!”

Moreover, Winnie Mandela was found to be complicit in the brutal killing of a 14-year-old boy named “Stompie” Seipei.

According to The New York Times, three survivors of the ordeal testified in court that Winnie initiated the beatings of several youths, hitting young Stompie with a stiff rawhide whip called a sjambok, and urging others to hit him. His battered body was found later, his throat cut. Jerry Richardson, one of Winnie Mandela’s bodyguards, was convicted in May 1990 of murder, attempted murder and kidnapping. According to a Newsday report, Justice Brian O’Donovan “implicitly found her to be an accomplice. … The evidence, O’Donovan pointedly told the court, had the ‘ring of truth.’”

Nelson Mandela – today revered by many in the West as a great reformer and man of peace – was in fact the head and co-founder of the ANC’s military wing, and was imprisoned for spearheading the effort to commit widespread terrorism in South Africa. Although Mandela was almost always referred to as a “political prisoner,” Amnesty International declared in 1985 that “Mandela had participated in planning acts of sabotage and inciting violence, so that he could no longer fulfill the criteria for the classification of political prisoners.”

Upon his release from prison in 1990, Mandela publicly paid tribute to Joe Slovo, leader of the South African Communist Party. “I salute the South African Communist Party for its steady contribution to the struggle for democracy,” Mandela said at the time. Later elected as the nation’s prime minister, Mandela praised Fidel Castro, Yasser Arafat and Muammar Gadhafi for their “love for human rights and liberty.” He recently ridiculed President George W. Bush publicly for his commitment to military intervention in Iraq.

Winnie, whose last name today is Madikizela-Mandela, wants other South African women to join her in going to Iraq.

In a press statement issued yesterday, an aide explained: “She wants to involve women from across all parties and interested groups, on a mother-to-mother basis. Mrs. Madikizela-Mandela believes we have the experience in South Africa of having seen our children needlessly killed.”

Saying she would defend herself next week in court against charges of theft and corruption, Madikizela-Mandela added, trying to justify her chronic absenteeism from Parliament, that it was very difficult to “share the chamber with politicians from the apartheid era who have the blood of black children on their hands.”

I wonder what the Brits think

No need to wonder. They figured it out when Michelle showed up to meet the Queen in a sweater, no hose and open toed shoes. Then she slapped the Queen on the back.

That was just for starters. Obama, who doesn't know how to hold his wine glass, screwed up the toast to the Queen at their dinner.

You notice the Obamas were not invited to Will and Kate's wedding even though Michelle made it clear in public statements that she would be happy to go. LOL

Thanx for the head ups on The Sandbaggers. I have to have my weekly fix of an episode of Mi-5, although trying to find it on Public Radio TV channels with any regularity is becoming a problem.

WESTERN LEADERS WEARING WINNIE’S NECKLACE TO MANDELA MEMORIAL

Nelson Mandela’s funeral is a time for praying not preening

By Judi McLeod Monday, December 9, 2013

Barack and Michelle Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, George and Laura Bush will all figuratively wear a necklace at Nelson Mandela’s memorial tomorrow—the Winnie Mandela necklace that is the most grotesque one of all time.

The prime ministers of Canada and Britain, Stephen Harper and David Cameron will wear the necklace, too. But none of the world leaders at the Mandela funeral—Daily Mail touted as the biggest funeral in the world since Winston Churchill—will hear the screams of the young blacks who died in agony wearing the Winnie Mandela necklace.

Time and the politically correct era can never wash away the Crime of Humanity foisted on the blacks of South Africa when Communist African National Congress (ANC) ‘freedom fighters’ and ‘liberators’ sent hundreds to their death via the burning tire necklace.

The crime of the so many black brothers and sisters chosen for Death by Necklace? Suspicion of being “too friendly to whites”.

ANC members would take black people and hack off their hands or tie them behind the person’s back with barbed wire. Then a gasoline-filled tire would be set alight around the victim’s (“traitor’s”) neck and they would slowly and very painfully burn to death. (Wiki.answers.com).

Videos of Death by Necklace, not for the sensitive, still exist. One shown in the 1980s to Toronto Sun reporters witnessed the death of a young black woman, who even in the agony of her torture, was so modest she tried to control her billowing skirt, will never be forgotten by anyone who saw it.

It’s not as if western world leaders stampeding their sympathies at the Mandela memorial and state funeral can pretend they never knew.

Winnie Mandela, who will prominently attend funeral services of her late husband, was upfront about her belief in death by necklace.

“Winnie Mandela famously screamed to thousands at a large open-air rally in 1985/86: “with our matches and necklaces, we’ll liberate this country!”, implying that those who do not take ANC’s side will be burnt alive. Such threats by Winnie Mandela could very well be considered terrorism against the very people she claimed to intend liberating.” (Wiki.answers.com)

“Exiled members of the ANC were taught about necklacings and torture techniques at terror-training camps in places like Angola (e.g.. Camp Quatro) and Mozambique.

Nor can the Obamas, the Clintons, the Bush’s, the Camerons, the Harpers and all other Mandela funeral attendees pretend that necklacing is too far back for them to remember:

“The spectre of necklacing showed its ugly head again in 2008 when foreign blacks, mostly Somali, Zimbabwean and other refugees were being set alight by their brothers and sisters in what was called ‘the 2008 xenophobic attacks’. (VG.no May 25, 2010)

“Slogans such as “one rope, one sellout”, “one bullet, one white baby” and “kill the boer (white/farmer)” are still heard in SA today. In fact, a case of genocide has been made against 12 or 13 SA leaders, including the President (Jacob Zuma) and the ANC Youth League President, Julius Malema. According to the Rome Convention, incitement to commit genocide is also a punishable offence and the ANC has launched several appeals against court decisions that “kill the boer” is “hate speech” and “incitement to commit genocide”. The matter is being investigated by the ICC in The Hague. Shortly before the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa, Winnie Mandela’s staff was in the news for threatening a gun-store owner, and saying: “July 12 all whites will be killed.”

Like a pack of braying donkeys, world leaders will gather in South Africa preening for the cameras that will send their pictures world-wide to celebrity watchers.

But phony braying, and crocodile tears notwithstanding, some still remember the bone-chilling screams of South African blacks burnt alive by the unspeakable evil of ANC necklacing.

Nelson Mandela’s funeral is a time for praying not preening.
