New World Order - Definition and Description

New World Order

Definition and Description

Stes de Necker

Introduction

The following article is extracted from an excellent analysis of the New World Order by author Ken Adachi which can be found at educate-yourself.org.

The term New World Order (NWO) has been used by numerous politicians through the ages, and is a generic term used to refer to a worldwide conspiracy being orchestrated by an extremely powerful and influential group of genetically-related individuals (at least at the highest echelons) which include many of the world's wealthiest people, top political leaders, and corporate elite, as well as members of the so-called Black Nobility of Europe (dominated by the British Crown) whose goal is to create a One World (fascist) Government, stripped of nationalistic and regional boundaries, that is obedient to their agenda.

Banker, Paul Warburg:

"We will have a world government whether you like it or not. The only question is whether that government will be achieved by conquest or consent." (February 17, 1950, as he testified before the US Senate).

Their intention is to effect complete and total control over every human being on the planet and to dramatically reduce the world's population by two thirds. 

While the name New World Order is the term most frequently used today to loosely refer to anyone involved in this conspiracy, the study of exactly who makes up this group is a complex and intricate one.  

In 1992, Dr John Coleman published Conspirators Hierarchy: The Story of the Committee of 300. With laudable scholarship and meticulous research, Dr Coleman identifies the players and carefully details the New World Order agenda of worldwide domination and control. 

On page 161 of the Conspirators Hierarchy, Dr Coleman accurately summarizes the intent and purpose of the Committee of 300 as follows:

"A One World Government and one-unit monetary system, under permanent non-elected hereditary oligarchists who self-select from among their numbers in the form of a feudal system as it was in the Middle Ages. In this One World entity, population will be limited by restrictions on the number of children per family, diseases, wars, famines, until 1 billion people who are useful to the ruling class, in areas which will be strictly and clearly defined, remain as the total world population.

There will be no middle class, only rulers and the servants. All laws will be uniform under a legal system of world courts practicing the same unified code of laws, backed up by a One World Government police force and a One World unified military to enforce laws in all former countries where no national boundaries shall exist. The system will be on the basis of a welfare state; those who are obedient and subservient to the One World Government will be rewarded with the means to live; those who are rebellious will simply be starved to death or be declared outlaws, thus a target for anyone who wishes to kill them. Privately owned firearms or weapons of any kind will be prohibited."

Why the Conspiracy is Unknown

The sheer magnitude and complex web of deceit surrounding the individuals and organizations involved in this conspiracy is mind boggling, even for the most astute among us. Most people react with disbelief and skepticism towards the topic, unaware that they have been conditioned (brainwashed) to react with scepticism by institutional and media influences. 

Author and de-programmer Fritz Springmeier (The Top 13 Illuminati Bloodlines) says that most people have built in "slides" that short circuit the mind's critical examination process when it comes to certain sensitive topics. "Slides", Springmeier reports, is a CIA term for a conditioned type of response which dead ends a person's thinking and terminates debate or examination of the topic at hand. For example, the mention of the word "conspiracy" often solicits a slide response with many people.

What most people believe to be "Public Opinion" is in reality carefully crafted and scripted propaganda designed to elicit a desired behavioral response from the public. 

Public opinion polls are really taken with the intent of gauging the public's acceptance of the New World Order's planned programs. A strong showing in the polls tells them that the programming is "taking", while a poor showing tells the NWO manipulators that they have to recast or "tweak" the programming until the desired response is achieved.

The NWO Modus Operandi

The NWO global conspirators manifest their agenda through the skilful manipulation of human emotions, especially fear. In the past centuries, they have repeatedly utilized a contrivance that NWO researcher and author David Icke has characterized in his latest book, The Biggest Secret, as Problem, Reaction, and Solution.

The technique is as follows: NWO strategists create the Problem - by funding , assembling, and training an "opposition" group to stimulate turmoil in an established political power (sovereign country, region, continent, etc.) that they wish to impinge upon and thus create opposing factions in a conflict that the NWO themselves manoeuvred into existence. In recent decades, so called opposition groups are usually identified in the media as 'freedom fighters' or 'liberators'.

At the same time, the leader of the established political power where the conflict is being orchestrated is demonized and, on cue, referred to as 'another Hitler' (take your pick: Saddam Hussein, Milosevic, Kadaffi, etc.). The 'freedom fighters' are not infrequently assembled from a local criminal element (i.e. KLA, drug traffickers). In the spirit of true Machiavellian deceit, the same NWO strategists are equally involved in covertly arming and advising the leader of the established power as well (the NWO always profits from any armed conflict by loaning money, arming, and supplying all parties involved in a war).

The conflict is drawn to the world stage by the controlled media outlets with a barrage of photos and video tape reports of horrific and bloody atrocities suffered by innocent civilians. The cry goes up "Something has to be done!" And that is the desired Reaction.

The NWO puppeteers then provide the Solution by sending in UN 'Peace Keepers' (Bosnia) or a UN 'Coalition Force' (Gulf War) or NATO Bombers and then ground troops (Kosovo), or the military to 'search for Weapons of Mass Destruction', which of course are never found. Once installed, the 'peace keepers' never leave.  The idea is to have NWO controlled ground troops in all major countries or strategic areas where significant resistance to the New World Order takeover is likely to be encountered.

Who is the NWO?

The corporate portion of the NWO is dominated by international bankers, oil barons and pharmaceutical cartels, as well as other major multinational corporations. The Royal Family of England, namely Queen Elizabeth II and the House of Windsor, (who are, in fact, descendants of the German arm of European Royalty - the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha family - changed the name to Windsor in 1914), are high level players in the oligarchy which controls the upper strata of the NWO. The decision making nerve centres of  this effort are in London (especially the City of London), Basel Switzerland, and Brussels (NATO headquarters).

The United Nations, along with all the agencies working under the UN umbrella, such as the World Health Organization (WHO), are full time players in this scheme. Similarly, NATO is a military tool of the NWO.

The leaders of all major industrial countries like the United States, England, Germany, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, etc. (members of the "G7/G8" ) are active and fully cooperative participants in this conspiracy. 

In this century, the degree of control exerted by the NWO has advanced to the point that only certain hand-picked individuals, who are groomed and selected are even eligible to become the prime minister or president of countries like England, Germany, or The United States. It didn't matter whether Bill Clinton or Bob Dole won the Presidency in 1996, the  results would have been the same. Both men are playing on the same team for the same ball club. Anyone who isn't a team player is taken out: i.e. President Kennedy, Ali Bhutto (Pakistan) and Aldo Moro (Italy). More recently, Admiral Borda and William Colby were also killed because they were either unwilling to go along with the conspiracy to destroy America, weren't cooperating in some capacity, or were attempting to expose/ thwart the takeover agenda.

The NWO's Role in Shaping History

Most of the major wars, political upheavals, and economic depression/recessions of the past 100 years (and earlier) were carefully planned and instigated by the machinations of these elites. 

They include The Spanish-American War (1898), World War I and World War II; The Great Depression; the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917; the Rise of Nazi Germany; the Korean War; the Vietnam War; the 1989-91 "fall" of Soviet Communism; the 1991 Gulf War;  the War in Kosovo; and the two Iraq wars. Even the French Revolution was orchestrated into existence by elements of the NWO.

The instigation of a trumped-up war as a cover for amassing  fortunes which can be dated back to at least the 12th Century when only a core group of nine members of the Knights Templar, kicked off The Crusades that lasted for over a century and a half.

The core group mentioned above have been reported as being the military arm of a secret society known as the Priory of Sion, but this has been proven to be a hoax. 

In 1307, the king of France, Philippe the Fair, coveted the wealth was jealous of the Templars' power.

The French king set out to arrest all the Templars in France on October 13. While many Templars were seized and tortured, including their Grand Master, Jacques de Molay, many other Templars (who had been tipped off) escaped. They eventually resurfaced in Portugal, in Malta (as the Knights of Malta) and later in Scotland as The Scottish Rites of Freemasonry, with Albert Pike playing a key role in defining a plan for establishing a world government.

The acquisition and consolidation of ever greater wealth, natural resources, total political power, and control over others are the motivating forces which drive the decisions of the NWO leaders.

The toll in human suffering and the loss of innocent lives are non issues for these individuals!

DUBAI - ILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR - Dubai is uniquely vulnerable

DUBAI - ILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR

Dubai is uniquely vulnerable

Stes de Necker

Dubai was meant to be a Middle-Eastern Shangri-La, a glittering monument to Arab enterprise and western capitalism. But as hard times arrive in the city state that rose from the desert sands, an uglier story is emerging Countless building constructions are standing half-finished, seemingly abandoned.

Once the manic burst of building has stopped and the whirlwind has slowed, the secrets of Dubai are slowly seeping out.

In the swankiest new constructions – like the vast Atlantis Hotel, a giant pink castle built in 1,000 days for $1.5 bn on its own artificial island – rainwater is leaking from the ceilings and the tiles are falling off the roof.

This is a city built from nothing in just a few wild decades on credit and ecocide, suppression and slavery. Dubai is a living metal metaphor for the neo-liberal globalised world that may be crashing into history.

There is no concept of bankruptcy in Dubai. If someone gets into debt and they can't pay, they go to prison. As soon as someone quits his/her job in Dubai, the employer has to inform the bank. If such a person have any outstanding debts that aren't covered by their savings, then all their accounts are frozen, and they are forbidden to leave the country.

All over the city, there are maxed-out expats sleeping secretly in the sand-dunes or the airport or in cars. Nothing is what it seems. Dubai isn't a city, it's an elaborate con-job.

Thirty years ago, almost all of contemporary Dubai was desert, inhabited only by cactuses and tumbleweed and scorpions. But downtown there are traces of the town that once was, buried amidst the metal and glass. In the dusty fort of the Dubai Museum, a sanitised version of this story is told.

In the mid-18th century, a small village was built here, in the lower Persian Gulf, where people would dive for pearls off the coast.

It soon began to accumulate a cosmopolitan population washing up from Persia, the Indian subcontinent, and other Arab countries, all hoping to make their fortune. They named it after a local locust, the daba, which consumed everything before it.

The town was soon seized by the gunships of the British Empire, who held it as late as 1971. As they scuttled away, Dubai decided to ally with the six surrounding states and make up the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

The British quit just as oil was being discovered, and the sheikhs, who were left in charge, suddenly found themselves facing a remarkable dilemma. They were largely illiterate nomads who spent their lives driving camels through the desert – yet now they owned a vast pot of gold.

Dubai only had a dribble of oil compared to neighbouring Abu Dhabi – so Sheikh Maktoum decided to use the revenues to build something that would last.

Like Israel used to boast it made the desert bloom, Sheikh Maktoum resolved to make the desert bloom. He would build a city to be a centre of tourism and financial services, sucking up cash and talent from across the globe. He invited the world to come tax-free – and they came in their millions, swamping the local population, who now make up just 5 per cent of Dubai.

A whole city seemed to fall from the sky in just three decades, whole and complete and swelling. They fast-forwarded from the 18th century to the 21st in a single generation.

But it is not the sheikh that built the city. It was built by slaves.

There are three different Dubai’s, all swirling around each other.

There are the expats, there are the Emiratis, headed by Sheikh Mohammed, and then there is the foreign underclass who built the city, and are trapped here.

Every evening, the hundreds of thousands of young men who are building Dubai, are bussed from their sites to a vast concrete wasteland an hour out of town, where they are quarantined away.

Until a few years ago they were shuttled back and forth on cattle trucks, but lately the expats are shunted on small metal buses that function like greenhouses in the desert heat. They sweat like sponges being slowly wrung out.

Sonapur is a rubble-strewn patchwork of miles and miles of identical concrete buildings. Some 300,000 men live piled up here, in a place whose name in Hindi means "City of Gold ".

A Human Rights Watch study found there is a "cover-up of the true extent" of deaths of expats from heat exhaustion, overwork and suicide. The Indian consulate registered 971 deaths of their nationals in 2005 alone. After this figure was leaked, the consulates were told to stop counting.

Dubai is currently being reduced to its component sounds: do-buy, but in the most expensive malls shops are standing empty.

Between the malls, there is nothing but the connecting tissue of asphalt. Every road has at least four lanes. Dubai looks like a motorway punctuated by shopping centres.

Dubai is a dictatorship. The royal family own the country, and the people are their servants. There is very little freedom in Dubai. Most companies are owned by the Government, so it comes as no surprise that they oppose human rights laws; because it will reduce their profit margins.

The last time there was a depression, there was a starburst of democracy in Dubai, seized by force from the sheikhs.

In the 1930s, the city's merchants banded together against Sheikh Said bin Maktum al-Maktum – the absolute ruler of his day – and insisted they be given control over the state finances. It lasted only a few years, before the Sheikh – with the enthusiastic support of the British – snuffed them out.

Sheikh Mohammed has turned Dubai into ‘Creditopolis’, a city built entirely on debt.

Dubai owes 107 percent of its entire GDP. It would have gone bust already if the neighbouring oil-soaked state of Abu Dhabi hadn't bailed them out. Already, new media laws have been drafted forbidding the press to report on anything that could "damage" Dubai or "its economy". Dubai waves Islamism as the threat somewhere over the horizon. Every Imam is appointed by the Government, and every sermon is tightly controlled to keep it moderate.

Dumai’ns lives with a "psychological trauma". Their hearts are divided between pride on one side, and fear on the other.

All over Dubai, numerous projects that were under construction are now under collapse while projects that were completed just before the global economy crash, look empty and tattered.

The Atlantis Hotel was opened last winter in a $20m ‘fin-de-siecle’ party attended by Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan and Lily Allen. Sitting on its own fake island – shaped, of course like a palm tree – it looks like an immense upturned tooth in a faintly decaying mouth. But when it unexpectedly started raining, water was leaking from the roof, and tiles started falling off.

Dubai is not just a city living beyond its financial means; it is living beyond its ecological means as well. The new Tiger Woods Golf Course needs four million gallons of water to be pumped on to its grounds every day, or it would simply shrivel and disappear on the winds.

The city is regularly washed over with dust-storms that fog up the skies and turn the skyline into a blur and when the dust parts, the heat burns through. It dehydrates anything that is not kept constantly, artificially wet. On average, Dubai only has enough water to last one week because there is no storage of fresh water.

Dubai was built in a place with no useable water. There is no surface water, very little aquifer, and among the lowest rainfall in the world. So Dubai drinks the sea. The Emirates' water is stripped of salt in vast desalination plants around the Gulf – making it the most expensive water on earth.

It costs more than petrol to produce, and belches vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere as it goes. Residents of Dubai have the biggest average carbon footprint of all human beings on earth– more than double that of the Americans.

When the recession turns into depression, Dubai will have a very big problem. 

Water is the main source of life and when water becomes unavailable, it would be a catastrophe. The average resident of Dubai needs three times more water to live on than any other average human being on earth.  

Global warming makes the problem even worse. If the sea level rises, most of all the artificial islands will disappear under the water.   

 

In the looming century of water stresses and a transition away from fossil fuels, Dubai is uniquely vulnerable.

Diversity – South Africa’s biggest Asset - Unity in Diversity – South Africa’s biggest Challenge

Diversity – South Africa’s biggest Asset

Unity in Diversity – South Africa’s biggest Challenge

Stes de Necker

In almost all areas, plants, animals, birds, people, language, climate, minerals, South Africa remains the country with the world's richest and largest diversities in these areas.

If we look at Southern Africa, which include the areas Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland and Botswana, there is no other country in the world where you can, within an area of ​​approximately 2.5 million. Km² find 18500 different plant species, 750 types of Butterflies, 336 mammal species, 800 different bird species, more than 60 types of minerals.

According to the international classification of the world's six major floral kingdoms, South Africa's fynbos region, an area that stretches from the Olifants River 250 km. Northwest of Cape Town to Port Elizabeth on the east coast, is the smallest of the six regions. Although the smallest, this region has 8500 different plant species of which 73% can be found nowhere else in the world. Table Mountain alone has more plant species than can be found in the whole of Britain. Compared to South Africa's 750 Butterfly species, only 75 species can be found in the whole of England. Compared to the total of 125 kinds of land animals found in Western Europe, South Africa has no less than 240 different kinds of mammals. No less than 29 different antelope species can be found in South Africa.

Add to this, 11 different indigenous peoples, 3 million Hectares natural reserves and a shoreline where already 65 types of the world’s Whales and dolphins species have been spotted, then it is understandable why many foreign visitors have expressed the view that South Africa has the potential to become the economic wonder of the western world.

Why do foreigners see this potential while the South African government still stumbles over it daily. Is it because the government still finds itself in the crush of bias, or can they simply not succeed in getting rid of their unsuccessful economic policies.

As for as gold and diamonds are concerned, South Africa accounts for 80% of the world's gold production while the bulk of the world's diamonds currently come from South Africa. More than 60 minerals are mined in South Africa, while about 90% of the world's vanadium, 89% of the platinum metal group, 84% of the chrome ore, 93% of manganese and 64% of the gold reserves, are concentrated in South Africa. Coal provides 80% of the country's energy needs while great progress has already been made in the area of ​​additional nuclear power and wind power. Sasol currently supply more than 30% of the country's liquid petroleum needs while the agricultural sector still succeeds to feed approx. 40 mill. people daily.

In a previous article of mine, "Cry the Beloved Country - Continue Crying" I wrote about South Africa's political strife and that the ANC government (including his youth and other leagues), still can not understand that South Africa's riches belong to all South Africans and not only to the the current generation of ANC members. One wonders who the ANCYL think the minerals and national wealth of this country will belong to if nationalization becomes a reality. The ANC elite? Some State organ? Some black empowerment company? If the black empowerment company Mvelaphanda of Mr. Tokyo Sexwale must serve as an example of the redistribution of South Africa's mineral wealth, nationalization will surely be the final death blow to South Africa's economy.

      

What became of the ANC’s noble ideals that South Africa belongs to all who live in it? Or does the "all" now have a new meaning and it now only refers to "All in the ANC"? What about the 34% of voters who did not vote for the ANC. Are they excluded from participation in this "communal" wealth?

In "Cry the Beloved Country - Continue Crying" I said that forgotten are the noble ideals of upliftment of the less privileged, equal opportunity for all, freedom of occupation and freedom of association. Instead, there exists today a culture of "Get as rich as possible as quickly as possible." In addition, this culture of self-enrichment is only at the disposal of a few privileged loyalists in the ANC. Differ from this group and your right to economic achievement will be taken away very quickly. It is a culture that embraces a variety of ills, most of which are aimed at the erosion of our constitutional democracy and the maintenance of an unscrupulous and incompetent group of politicians in their fortified palaces, wood-paneled offices and luxury limousines.

The multicolored rainbow of Emeritus Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu is rapidly being replaced with the mirages of a scorched and desolate desert landscape.

Forced integration at all levels of society is destroying our unique cultural diversity and identities and creating a faceless society who do not know who or what they really are.

Indiscriminate granting of exploration and mining concessions are working to destroy our natural heritage.

Corruption and crime are destroying any hope of this country's potential to position itself as the tourism mecca of the world.

Personal gain and an uncompromising devotion to economic and political power, is destroying South Africa's economic potential and political stability.

Corruption and fraud, at all levels of our society, is destroying South Africa's integrity and credibility as a reliable international trading partner.

The indiscriminate allocation of social grants and donations to win political votes, is destroying our people's work ethics and productivity.

South Africa is the most advanced economy on the African continent, and has already established itself as the gateway to the rest of Africa for investors who want to invest in Africa.

If South Africa wants to retain this position, the South African government will very quickly have to review and clearly spells out it’s policies regarding nationalization and economic development, or run the risk to join countries like Zimbabwe, Myanmar, Kenya and many others as the "failed economies" of the current world order.

The late Dr. Anton Rupert, founder of the Rembrandt Group, on occasion highlighted the following ethical principles for business people in a civilized society namely:

• He who wants to keep everything for himself, will lose everything.

• That you can not trade with paupers.

• You do not create development and/or wealth by giving everything away.

• Wealth is contagious. If success is shared, it leads to greater success.

• Place yourself always in the other person shoes and always consider his position.

• You can only earn trust by trusting others. To trust is a risk, but to distrust others, is an even greater risk.

The vast majority of citizens of this country have yet to learn that political survival and economic prosperity can not be created by plundering accumulated reserves. Economic prosperity can only be achieved by innovative thinking, sound economic principles, hard work and strict personal earnings. It can not be "demanded".

Constitutional principle XI provides that:

"The diversity of language and culture shall be acknowledged and protected, and conditions for their promotion shall be encouraged."

To what extent is the current Government fulfilling this principle?

Since 1994, there has never been a better time like right now, that all South Africans can (and should), unite in diversity!

Diversiteit - Suid Afrika se Grootste Bate - Word hierdie bate net soos die res geplunder

Diversiteit - Suid Afrika se Grootste Bate

Word hierdie bate net soos die res geplunder

                                                                                                Stes de Necker

Suid Afrika bly nog steeds die land met die rykste en grootste diversiteit ter wêreld.

Op bykans alle terreine, plante, diere, voëls, mense, tale, klimaat, grondstowwe, noem dit op en jy sal die wydste verskeidenheid hiervan gekonsentreerd in Suid-Afrika vind.

Indien ons na Suidelike Afrika kyk, wat die gebiede Namibië, Lesotho, Swaziland en Botswana insluit, dan bestaan daar nie nog 'n land ter wêreld waar jy binne n gebied van nagenoeg 2.5 milj. Km.², 18500 verskillende plantspesies, 750 skoenlappersoorte, 336 soogdiersoorte, 800 verskillende voëlsoorte, meer as 60 mineraalsoorte kan vind nie.

Volgens die indeling van die wêreld se ses belangrikste planteryke, is Suid-Afrika se fynbosstreek, 'n gebied wat strek van Olifantsrivier 250 km. Noordwes van Kaapstad, tot by Port Elizabeth aan die ooskus, die kleinste van hierdie ses streke. Hoewel die kleinste beskik hierdie streek oor 8500 verskillende plantsoorte waarvan 73% nêrens elders ter wêreld natuurlik aangetref kan word nie. Tafelberg alleen het/besit meer plantsoorte as wat in die hele Brittanje aangetref word. In vergelyking met Suid-Afrika se 750 skoenlappersoorte word daar slegs 75 soorte in totaal in Engeland aangetref terwyl. In vergeleke met die totaal van 125 verskeie soorte landdiere wat in Wes-Europa aangetref word, beskik Suid-Afrika oor nie minder as 240 verskeie soorte landdiere. Nie minder as 29 verskillende boksoorte word in Suid-Afrika aangetref. 

Voeg hierby nog 11 verskillende inheemse volkere, 3 milj. Hektaar natuurreservate en 'n kuslyn waar daar alreeds 65 soorte van alle tandwalvisse en dolfyne wêreldwyd opgemerk is, dan dit te verstane hoekom talle buitelandse besoekers al die mening uitgespreek het dat Suid-Afrika oor die potensiaal beskik om 'n ekonomiese wonderwerk tot stand te bring.

Hoekom sien buitelanders hierdie potensiaal raak terwyl die Suid-Afrikaanse regering nog daagliks daaroor struikel. Is dit omdat die huidige regering hulle nog steeds in die drukgang van vooroordeel bevind, of kan hulle bloot nie daarin slaag om van hulle oogklappe ontslae te raak nie.

Wat goud en diamante betref, lewer Suid-Afrika tans 80% van die wêreld se goudproduksie en die grootste gedeelte van die wêreld se diamante. Meer as 60 minerale word in Suid-Afrika ontgin, terwyl ons oor 90% van die wêreld se vanadium, 89% van die platinummetaal groep, 84% van die chroomerts, 93% van die mangaan en 64% van die goudreserwes beskik. Steenkool voorsien in 80% van die land se energiebehoefte terwyl groot vordering reeds gemaak is op die terrein van addisionele kernkrag en windkrag. Sasol voorsien reeds meer as 30% in die land se vloeibare petroleum behoeftes, terwyl die landbousektor nog steeds daarin kon slaag om nagenoeg 40 milj. Mense daagliks kos te gee.

In my vorige artikel “Cry the beloved Country – Continue Crying” het ek geskryf oor Suid Afrika se politieke selfsug. Wat die ANC-regering (met sy jeug- en ander ligas ingesluit) nog nie kan verstaan nie, is dat Suid-Afrika se rykdomme nie net aan die huidige geslag ANC-lede kan behoort nie. 'n Mens wonder wie die ANC-jeugliga dink gaan die minerale en nasionale rykdomme van hierdie land besit indien nasionalisering wel 'n werklikheid word. Die ANC elite? Een of ander Staats orgaan? Een of ander swart bemagtiging maatskappy? Indien die swart bemagtiging maatskappy Mvelaphanda van Tokyo Sexwale enigsins 'n voorbeeld is van die redistribusie van Suid-Afrika se minerale rykdom, sal nasionalisering sekerlik die finale doodsteek van Suid-Afrika se ekonomie beteken.

      

Wat het van die regering se edele uitspraak geword dat Suid-Afrika behoort aan almal wat daarin woon en leef. Of het “almal” moontlik 'n nuwe betekenis gekry en verwys dit deesdae slegs na “almal in die ANC”? Wat behoort dan aan die 34% kiesers wat nie vir die ANC gestem het nie. Mag hulle nie ook deel in hierdie “kommunale” rykdom nie?

In my vorige artikel “Cry the Beloved Country – Continue Crying” het ek gesê: Vergete is die edele ideale van opheffing van die minder bevoorregtes, gelyke geleenthede vir almal, vryheid van beroep en vryheid van assosiasie. In die plek daarvan heers daar vandag 'n kultuur van “Word so gou moontlik, so ryk moontlik”. Daarbenewens is hierdie kultuur van selfverryking slegs tot die beskikking van 'n paar bevoorregte lojaliste in die ANC. Verskil van hierdie groep en hierdie reg tot selfverryking word jou baie vinnig ontneem. Dit is 'n Kultuur wat 'n verskeidenheid euwels omarm, die meeste waarvan gemik is op die erodering van ons grondwetlike demokrasie en die instandhouding van die gewetenlose en onbevoegde politici in hulle gefortifiseerde paleise, uitgepaneelde kantore en luukse limousines.

Die veelkleurige reënboog van Emeritus Biskop Desmond Tutu is vinnig besig om vervang te word met die lugspieëlings van 'n verskroeide en geplunderde woestyn landskap.

Geforseerde integrasie is besig om ons unieke verskydenheid kultuur-identiteite te verwoes.

Onoordeelkundige toekenning van eksplorasie en myn konsessies is besig om ons natuurerfenis te verwoes.

Korrupsie en misdaad is besig om hierdie land se potensiaal as n toerisme mekka te verwoes.

Persoonlike gewin en verknogtheid aan ekonomiese- en politieke mag, is besig om Suid Afrika se ekonomiese potensiaal en politieke bestendigheid te verwoes.

Korrupsie en bedrog op alle vlakke van ons samelewing, is besig om Suid Afrika se integriteit en geloofwaardigheid as internasionale handelsvennoot te verwoes.

Die onoordeelkundige toekenning van sosiale toelaes en skenkings om politieke stemme te werf, is besig om ons mense se werks-etiek en produktiwiteit te verwoes.

Suid Afrika is die mees moderne ekonomie op die Afrika vasteland, en het homself reeds gevestig as die toegang tot die res van Afrika vir beleggers wat in Afrika wil belê.

Indien Suid-Afrika hierdie posisie wil behou, sal die Suid-Afrikaanse regering baie vinnig hulle beleid ten opsigte van nasionalisering en ekonomiese ontwikkeling duidelik moet uitspel om te verhoed dat hierdie land nie ook soos Zimbabwe, Mianmar, Kenia en nog vele ander, deel word van die “mislukte ekonomieë” van die huidige wêreldorde. 

Wyle Dr. Anton Rupert het by geleentheid die volgende beginsels vir interpreneurskap benadruk naamlik:

• Dat hy wat alles wil behou, alles sal verloor.
• Dat jy nie met armlastiges handel kan dryf nie.
• Dat jy nie goedgesindheid kweek of welvaart skep deur 'n beleid van weggee nie.
• Dat welvaart aansteeklik is. As sukses gedeel word, lei dit tot groter sukses.
• Dat jy jouself altyd in die ander persoon de skoene moet plaas; ook sy standpunt in ag moet neem.
• Dat jy vertroue net kan wen as jy vertroue toon. Om te vertrou is wel 'n risiko, maar om ander te wantrou, is selfs 'n groter risiko.

Die oorgrote meerderheid inwoners van hierdie land moet nog leer dat politieke voortbestaan en ekonomiese welvaart nie geskep kan word deur op die reserwes van die verlede te teer nie. Dit moet met nuwe innoverende denke, gesonde ekonomiese beginsels, harde werk en persoonlike verdienste verwerf word. Dit kan nie net “demand” word nie.

Grodwetlike beginsel XI bepaal dat:

"The diversity of language and culture shall be acknowledged and protected, and conditions for their promotion shall be encouraged."

Tot watter mate gee die huidige Regering nog uitvoering aan hierdie beginsel?

Sedert 1994 was daar nog nooit n tyd soos nou, dat alle Suid Afrikaners behoort te verenig rondom hulle diversiteit nie!

Origin and Migration of the Indigenous Peoples of Africa

Origin and Migration of the Indigenous

 Peoples of Africa

                                                                                                 Stes de Necker

In paleoantropologie, the recent “(Recent) Out-of-Africa” model is the mainstream model describing the origin and early dispersal of anatomically modern humans. The theory is called the (Recent) Out-of-Africa model in the popular press, and academically the recent single-origin hypothesis (RSOH), Replacement Hypothesis, and Recent African Origin (RAO) model. The hypothesis that humans have a single origin (monogenesis) was published in Charles Darwin's Descent of Man (1871). The concept was speculative until the 1980s, when it was corroborated by a study of present-day mitochondrial DNA, combined with evidence based on physical anthropology of archaic specimens.

According to genetic and fossil evidence, archaic Homo sapiens evolved to anatomically modern humans solely in Africa, between 200,000 and 150,000 years ago.

Members of one branch left Africa by between 125,000 and 60,000 years ago and over time replaced earlier human populations such as Neanderthals and Homo erectus. The date of this original "out of Africa" migration has mostly been dated to between 70,000 and 60,000 years ago, but a 2011 study suggested that an early wave of migration may have taken place as early as 125,000 years ago.

The recent single origin of modern humans in East Africa is the near-consensus position held within the scientific community.

However, recent sequencing of the full Neanderthal Genome suggests Neanderthals and some modern humans share some ancient genetic lineages. The authors of the study suggest that their findings are consistent with Neanderthal admixture of up to 4% in some populations. But the study also suggests that there may be other reasons why humans and Neanderthals share ancient genetic lineages.

The competing hypothesis is the multiregional origin of modern humans. Some push back the original "out of Africa" migration (in this case, by Homo erectus, not by Homo sapiens) to two million years ago.

Anatomically modern humans originated in Africa about 250,000 years ago. The trend in cranial expansion and the acheulean elaboration of stone tool technologies which occurred between 400,000 years ago and the second interglacial period in the Middle Pleistocene (around 250,000 years ago) provide evidence for a transition from H. erectus to H. sapiens.

In the Recent African Origin (RAO) scenario, migration within and out of Africa eventually replaced the earlier dispersed H. erectus.

Exodus from Africa

Some 70,000 years ago, a number of these H. sapiens migrated from East Africa into the Near East. The date of this first wave of "out of Africa" migration has been called into question in 2011, based on the discovery of stone tools in the United Arab Emirates, indicating the presence of modern humans between 100,000 and 125,000 years ago.

Some scientists believe that only a few people left Africa in a single migration that went on to populate the rest of the world based on the fact that only descents of these early H. sapiens are found outside Africa. From that settlement, some others point to the possibility of several waves of expansion. For example, Wells says that the early travelers followed the southern coastline of Asia, crossed about 250 kilometers [155 miles] of sea, and colonized Australia by around 50,000 years ago. The Aborigines of Australia, Wells says, are the descendants of the first wave of migrations.

It has been estimated that from a population of 2,000 to 5,000 individuals in Africa, only a small group, possibly as few as 150 to 1,000 people, crossed the Red Sea into Saudi Arabia.

Of all the lineages present in Africa only the female descendants of one lineage, mtDNA haplogroup, are found outside Africa. Had there been several migrations one would expect descendants of more than one lineage to be found outside Africa. L3's female descendants, the M and N haplogroup lineages, are found in very low frequencies in Africa (although haplogroup M1 is very ancient and diversified in North and Northeast Africa) and appear to be recent arrivals. A possible explanation is that these mutations occurred in East Africa shortly before the exodus and by the founder effect became the dominant haplogroups after the exodus from Africa. Alternatively, the mutations may have arisen shortly after the exodus from Africa.

Other scientists have proposed a Multiple Dispersal Model, in which there were two migrations out of Africa, one across the Red Sea traveling along the coastal regions to India (the Coastal Route), which would be represented by Haplogroup M. Another group of migrants with Haplogroup N followed the Nile from East Africa, heading northwards and crossing into Asia through the Sinai. This group then branched in several directions, some moving into Europe and others heading east into Asia. This hypothesis attempts to explain why Haplogroup N is predominant in Europe and why Haplogroup M is absent in Europe. Evidence of the coastal migration is hypothesized to have been destroyed by the rise in sea levels during the Holocene epoch.

Alternatively, a small European founder population, that initially expressed both Haplogroup M and N, could have lost Haplogroup M through random genetic drift resulting from a bottleneck (i.e. a founder effect).

Today at the Bab-el-Mandeb straits the Red Sea is about 12 miles (20 kilometres) wide, but 50,000 years ago sea levels were 70 meters lower (owing to glaciation) and the water was much narrower. Though the straits were never completely closed, there may have been islands in between which could be reached using simple rafts. Shell middens 125,000 years old have been found in Eritrea, indicating the diet of early humans included seafood obtained by beachcombing.

Subsequent Expansion

Subsequent expansion From the Near East, these populations spread east to South Asia by 50,000 years ago, and on to Australia by 40,000 years ago, Homo sapiens for the first time colonizing territory never reached by Homo erectus. Europe was reached by Cro-Magnon some 40,000 years ago. East Asia (Korea, Japan) was reached by 30,000 years ago. It is disputed whether subsequent migration to North America took place around 30,000 years ago, or only considerably later, around 14,000 years ago.

The group that crossed the Red Sea traveled along the coastal route around the coast of Arabia and Persia until reaching India, which appears to be the first major settling point. Haplogroup M is found in high frequencies along the southern coastal regions of Pakistan and India and it has the greatest diversity in India, indicating that it is here where the mutation may have occurred. Sixty percent of the Indian population belong to Haplogroup M. The indigenous people of the Andaman Islands also belong to the M lineage. The Andamanese are thought to be offshoots of some of the earliest inhabitants in Asia because of their long isolation from mainland Asia.

They are evidence of the coastal route of early settlers that extends from India along the coasts of Thailand and Indonesia all the way to Papua New Guinea. Since M is found in high frequencies in highlanders from New Guinea as well, and both the Andamanese and New Guineans have dark skin and Afro-textured hair, some scientists believe they are all part of the same wave of migrants who departed across the Red Sea ~60,000 years ago in the Great Coastal Migration.

Notably, the findings of Harding et al. (2000, p. 1355) show that, at least with regard to dark skin color, the haplotype background of Papua New Guineans is identical to that of Africans (barring a single silent mutation).

Thus, although these groups are distinct from Africans at other loci (due to drift, bottlenecks, etc), it is evident that selection for the dark skin color trait likely continued following the exodus. This would support the hypothesis that suggests that the original migrants from Africa resembled pre-exodus Africans (at least in skin color), and that the present day remnants of this ancient phenotype can be seen among contemporary Africans, Andamanese and New Guineans. Others suggest that their physical resemblance to Africans could be the result of convergent evolution.

From Arabia to India the proportion of haplogroup M increases eastwards: in eastern India, M outnumbers N by a ratio of 3:1. However, crossing over into East Asia, Haplogroup N reappears as the dominant lineage. M is predominant in South East Asia but amongst Indigenous Australians N reemerges as the more common lineage. This discontinuous distribution of Haplogroup N from Europe to Australia can be explained by founder effects and population bottlenecks.

That’s what scorpions do

That’s what scorpions do

                                                                                                            Stes de Necker

The senseless violence and murders we are experiencing in South Africa, reminded me of a story I once heard about a frog and a scorpion.

The frog and the scorpion were stranded on an island in a river, when the scorpion said to the frog:

“The water is rising and if we do not get off the island soon, we will both drown. You can swim, but I cannot. Let me climb on your back and then you can swim with me on your back to the other side of the river where we will be safe.”

The frog thought about this for a moment and replied:

“But I do not trust you! What guarantee do I have that you will not kill me on the way over?”

The scorpion replied:

“I promise that I will not kill you, especially not after you would have been so kind to me.”

“Ok” said the frog, “get on and let’s go.”

Halfway across the river, the scorpion stung the frog, and in his dying moments, the frog said to the scorpion:

“What have you done!...  How could you! … You promised!  Now we both gonna die!

Why did you do it!?”

The scorpion replied:

“Because that’s what scorpion do!”

Perhaps we should stop trying to find the answers in complex explanations and experts’ opinions. Perhaps the answer was always in front of us; we simply did not see it.

“THAT’S WHAT SCORPIONS DO!”
