CAPE TOWN - When the Greater Cape Town morgue started looking for a new superintendent in 2000, police Captain Ricardo Schouten was convinced he would get the job. A medically trained officer skilled in autopsies, he had already been acting superintendent for three years.

IT was our government that was the enabler for this disaster!!!! During the Carter and Clinton administrations, a policy to not oppose communist revolutionary movements was blatently undertaken. During the Carter years, it was more important to solve the pressing problems of killer rabbits and during the Clintoon years, it was more pressing to hire easy interns. Seriously though, Jimmy Carter's decimation, with the assistance of the Demosocialist Congress of the time, of our military-intelligence apparatus enabled all of this to happen. Regan and Bush Sr. elected to contain this problem in our own hemisphere. Then comes the Klintoon legacy. Since communism per se was allegedly defeated, Bubba saw no reason to oppose the expansion of "freedom movements" against allegedly tyranical govenments. And in Africa, as a payback to Jesse Jackson and the radical reverse racists of our country, and to satisfy the Eurosocialists who ran the U.N. all opposition to the black dictators who assumed power in South Africa and Zimbabwe was eliminated. Who cares if a half million die? Hell, it's a half world away and it would interfere with the intern pursuit. Plus we know that Rather would only give it 20 seconds during his newscast. Instead of analyzing the true nature of these "liberated" nations and their communist governments, the focus was placed on the oppressive nature of the racist financial world which prevented these corrupt regimes from getting more powerful. The U.S. let this happen. Now our tax dollars will feed the communists as usual. Instead of drawing a line in the sand, Bush is no better than Klintoon or Carter. We will no longer create embargos like those against Cuba. We will simply cowtow to the left, sell out to the U.N., and continue the worldwide socialization and creation of a U.N. government to manage every nation's affairs in the world; including our own country.

Nuke, I belong to that select group of oldtimers and commie fighters who wanted the US to aid peaceful, orderly change in southern Africa. Unfortunately, our lobbying fell on deaf ears during Carter's reign, and the die for downfall was cast.

I started the "AfricaWatch" index so people could see all the stories "the press wouldn't bother telling you about." It's a subset of that "Dark Underbelly" series I run here on FR. I am sad to say that I believe what you now see in Rhodesia is a precursor to what will follow in South Africa. They are tossing away the English-based rule of Law for "rule of groups the leaders currently ( and temporarily ) favor. It will not be pretty.

This is nothing new...in fact reverse discrimination goes on right here in the U.S. whenever blacks gain voting control of an entity. Here in Atlanta, the major qualifictaion for becoming Mayor, Police Chief, Fire Chief, Head of Education, etc. is to be black...whites need not apply. This is the future of the U.S. when whites become a minority in 2050.

My friend, this fight is far beyond your shores. It is now in my backyard. You are just further along with the disease than we are. But I fear, we, the last torch of freedom, is not far behind. "Compassionate Communism" will be the catch word for what is happening. And those that resist will be known by the Orwellian terms of "killer", "revolutionary", and "facist" in the decade upon us.
