2015, A YEAR OF JUDGEMENT

During 2015, the eyes of the world will be on African governments.  The world will analyze statistical data relating to crime, unemployment health care, corruption and land use.

They will measure poverty, unemployment, and the gap between rich and poor.

Above all, they will analyze government spending and look at why and how donations and opportunities to make poverty history by 2015 failed.

Governments will be classified, not only by their ability to create and maintain good human relations for all citizens and their ability to handle conflict situations but also on their ability to be global partners.

Aid and donations to third world nations will not continue as before.   Governments who failed will be by passed and those who attempted to create peace and prosperity will be further boosted.

2015 will be a year of judgement for all national rulers.   

Which rulers will weigh too light?

Which leaders will be classed as incompetent fools?

Do not die fighting for freedom - live it!

Freedom can only exist if there are no suppressors!

 If freedom and peace are not regarded as the right of all citizens,

 and not only a right for those who were previously suppressed,

today's  freedom fighters will one day become the suppressors. 

Separatism becomes a vicious circle.   

Think about it!

(Please note  this is a rewrite of a previous post )

  The three main evils in developing countries.

1. Lack of birth control (people having more children than they can afford to feed and educate)
2. Alcohol and drug abuse.   (People allowing substance to take over their brain control)
3. Disrespect for fellow citizens. (Theft, abuse and corruption)

 

 

A government divided can not achieve unity.

A government who divides can not unite the nation.

Education, sport and intermarriage are ways by which unity, within a nation, can be fostered.    Unity means that all citizens strive towards prosperity and right human relations within a society.   A government divided or a government who empowers one race, or group of people suppresses another and can never achieve unity among the citizens.
While there is a gap between the lifestyles of the rich and that of the poor, there is division.   All people should be able to experience the best of what the country has to offer.

Ex unitate vires

We are all part of one Humanity just like each grain of sand makes out the beach. If each grain of sand acted as an individual entity, the beach would be like dust in the wind.

If every thinking person contemplates solutions instead of being driven to fear and inertia because of the enormity of the world’s problems, we can together, change the world.

It is said that you become what you think. If all thinking people strive towards peace and right human conditions we can save the world because over 50% of the world’s population are not thinkers, they are followers. They will adopt any strong thought wave that will make their lives better.
Together we can create a new reality.

The force behind the killing of white African farmers.

Every week, according to reports, white farmers are killed on farms in Southern African countries. These farms produced food and wealth for a nation. The seized land is often divided among groups of people who can hardly sustain themselves and has a negative impact on the wealth of their nation.

The reason of the killings boils up from deep within the psyche of a continent, that for centuries evolved by killing what the inhabitants perceive as their rivals. The one who have what you want, has throughout the history of Africa, been regarded as the enemy that should be killed before the wealth can change hands.

This is the very law that kept Africa poor and in the dark. The only ones who benefited from war, were the ones who instigated and controlled the killings from their remote safe places; the ones who do not need to fight for survival become richer when the land eventually comes under their control.

Many African rulers rule by empty promises, instilling hopes and dreams that will never be realized, and the promise to defeat an enemy that is created in their minds. For many centuries the people never questioned the wealth of their leaders in comparison to their own sufferings.

The profits derived from the recovered land would only guild the lifestyles, build the castles, and increase the fleets of luxury vehicles of the politicians and governors. With every war the people become poorer, food becomes scarcer and drugs dull the agony in the minds of the youth. The rulers will buy more weapons of war to keep the people occupied by declaring enemies to give the people something to live for …. to give them hopes and dreams of a fair and free life that will never bear fruit.
The people, the fathers and mothers of the ones who fought the battles for the rich remain poor. Many Africans become casualties of war or die from starvation.

It is only since the beginning of Democracy in South Africa that the farm killings have been purely about race. Since the vision of an African brotherhood, it became difficult to find an enemy other than one of color (or no color). African rulers wanted enemies on own soil.

The white farmer “Boer” is still regarded as the enemy and for a continent whose citizens are the offspring of warriors that lived by the sword and knew only how to wipe out the enemy in order to rule, the color of the skin marks the enemy.

When the last white and brown person has been killed, and famine and poverty spins out of control, what, or whom, will they then label as an enemy to kill next?

Democracy, negotiations and conferencing – the tools of freedom and prosperity make little sense to the children of poverty.

Many Africans fail to recognize that they already swapped the loincloth for the suit, the hut for the mansion, the sword for the weapon of mass destruction and the donkey for the jet. Yet they hold onto the old ways of war. They divide when they should unite. They make war when they should embrace freedom.


Democratic ideas have not brought better lifestyles for the majority. Only the skin color of the rulers changed. The freedom to stand first in queues, sit on any bench, use public toilets and attend any school is not putting food on the table or roofs over the heads of many. The fact is that it is not democracy than keeps them in poverty but rather the lavish lifestyles of their leaders that keep the grassroots in the mud. The rulers still enrich themselves instead empowering all the citizens of the nation. They continue to measure the success of a nation by the wealth of the rulers and the might of its armed forces and not by the prosperity and happiness of all the citizens.

The principles of Democracy offer sound solutions to end poverty only when it is embraced totally by all citizens and leaders. The first world is a weak example of the power of democracy. African democratic solutions need to be implemented that will share the wealth. The voice of the thinking, educated people should rule the economy and not rulers that line their own pockets, and control the hoards of uninformed masses with empty promises. The need of the people must come before the greed of rulers.

It is time that individuals work for the wealth and economy of all citizens; this should be demonstrated by the examples of those in power. They should be role models for shared wealth and patriotism.
Greed and division among any ruling body cause despair and separation among their citizens.

Recognize the people who can lead the country to prosperity and not the color of their skins. Recognize the ones who direct the ploughs that will fill the breadbasket of the nation.

Fight for education, health care, housing and skills to bring in food for the table and comforts for living. That is your right. It is the right of every citizen. The enemy is greed and unfair distribution of wealth. That is the enemy, but that is not the only enemy.
Imposed ignorance and false information is a bigger enemy still.

Everyone should be able to access the true information that can lead to right living conditions for all citizens.


IT IS YOUR BIRTHRIGHT TO HAVE A HAPPY LIFE.

2010 A year of shame for South Africa.

A year of shame for South Africa 2010

Perhaps we had the best parliamentary attempt ever to achieve better conditions for the people but South Africa failed miserably during 2010.

Through the FIFA Soccer World Cup offered our country a wonderful opportunity to show the world that an African country have the ability to rub shoulders with other financial world leaders.

We had the ability to become an economic powerhouse but the racial tensions, racial war songs and threats, and the unions using the world cup opportunity to highlight their own agendas for power and money, cracked the foundation of this African opportunity.

Today all Africans should morn our failure. We, as a country stuffed up the best opportunity any African country ever had to become an economic power and a natural heritage showcase for the world.

Even if we failed to gain economic trust, we had a back door through which we could promote this country with our natural heritage of fauna and flora. What did we do on that score in 2010? We sold great portions of our natural heritage and coastal land to dubious financial schemes. We allowed our ‘big five’ to dwindle and nearly become the ‘big four’ by being too laxidaisy with our low-key conservation efforts. The media did more for the conservation effort than the rulers of the country. What can we expect, there is no political leader to devote his attention purely on animals and nature. We killed baboons on Table Mountain and the in wild because the conservation department thought that managing baboons mean that they should train them to remain on the mountain without food, which is not the nature for those animals.
Even after half the mountain burned down. People shot and tortured these when they raided nearby homes for food, instead of setting up a feeding point where these animals could be fed as a tourist attraction.

It is easier to train these intelligent animals to accept one feeding point than to train them to starve and stay put. We cannot even train humans to see the bigger picture beyond the world cup opportunities, or poachers to imagine the shame of an African wildlife without rhino’s. How can we train baboons to sit still and starve for the sake of peace?

We should realize that in most third world countries there are a majority of citizens who do not have the educational maturity to see the future, global and economic consequences for their actions.
They can see only in the moment and they take the queue for their actions from their idols, which are also only their leaders until the 'illusionary bubble of personal gain' bursts.
All world politicians know how to manipulate the unthinking masses. It is in their rulebook.

The thinkers of the world should learn to look beyond results from majority votes and mass actions when a large number of a population, in any one country, belongs to poorly educated or non-thinking majority groups.

Peace makers and sheep

There are those, within African societies, who are the leaders of peace and stability, then there are the sheep of society; a great majority of African citizens who have not yet developed their consciousness beyond that of their own personal needs.

We need to engender positivity and hope within our own minds; One mind at a time.

The ‘FIFA World Cup’ is a platform on which to stage our hopes and dreams for Africa.

It is only when the consciousness of the majority of thinkers swings to positive mode that the sheep will follow. The sheep of a society is like the horses that pulls the cart.

For an African society to change you need to change the unthinking masses.

When governments fail in their duty, regarding bringing peace and stability within their jurisdictions, it become crucial for the thinkers to put their doubts aside and project positivity for the sake of the unthinking masses.

Be positive during ‘The World Cup’. This may be our last chance to turn the tide of destruction at the Southern point of Africa into that of building the RAINBOW NATION.

World Goodwill

Those particularly interested in working with

World Goodwill may like to know that, a

number of groups and individuals decided to

cooperate with the theme of the 2007 Semi-

nar, Evoking the Soul of the Nations. Greek co-

workers created an online group to discuss

the theme, shared documents both past and

present, and among other issues, reflected on

the possible rays of Greece, with a general con-

sensus that the Soul ray might be the fourth,

and the Personality might be the third ray. A

group that regularly meets once a week in South

Africa, discussed the theme, and there was a

definite interest and focus on the soul of South

Africa, including some reflection on the condi-

tioning astrological signs. It was noted that:

"The opposite of apartheid (separateness) is

Unity. There was agreement that winning the

Rugby World Cup had united the country for a

short but tangible period... This sense of earned

respect is something we as a nation will need

to focus on if we are to evoke the Soul of this

multi-cultural and emerging Nation... For the

nation to heal it is imperative that each frag-

merit should become whole... Clearly diversity

within a larger unity already exists and must

be encouraged. In this sense, synthesis does

not dismiss but incorporates the many colour-

ful and richly diverse cultures into the whole."

The newly formed Living Sanctuary for Esoteric

Studies in Tucson, Arizona held a retreat on

November II, 2007, holding in solution both

the annual Keynote and topics of the seminar.

And we know that other groups, such as Denver

Goodwill Service Group, supported the work

subjectively through thought and meditation.

This entire question of the planetary centres and the energy which

they release is naturally of great interest and, could we but realise

it, of supreme importance. Some great truth lies veiled behind the

tendency of all peoples to regard certain cities and places as holy and

as set apart for their spiritual value; they make them the goal of their

pilgrimages; in connection with the human being, the same analogy

holds good and the heart, for some reason, is regarded as holier and

more desirable in its expression than the head. All this indicates an

innate recognition by humanity that behind the outer form is ever to

befound the intangible, the real and the holy. Alice Bailey,

Creating divisions of might

Some African Leaders may create policies to unite the people of their countries.

Many only create deep wounds of division

when it becomes clear that in reality

the word “UNITY refers to one race or skin colour only.

African Economic Merging.

Perhaps it is time that Africa start feeding Africans and not China or America.

An economic policy that does not rely on export needs to be created.

Africa should not export food while there are Africans starving.

We have enough coal, gold, diamonds and other minerals to export.

The Southern African countries could amalgamate and share wealth for the benefit of Africans and resource sharing.

A suggested structure could be:

• One head of the 'The Southern Africa Nations' (The Southern African National President.)
• Old (retired) African Presidents (The Southern African National Council of the Elders)
• Presidents of the various Nations
• Prime ministers and other parliamentarians who deals with local affairs within the various countries.
• One currency, the Afro, (like the Euro)

Africa should prepare for the 2020 deadline when the "Make poverty history" project ends.

Africa should utilise this window of "First World Sympathy" to empower itself.

It is not a time for war and internal struggles.

It is a time to build a strong National African economy that relies on its own resources. We still have too many companies boosting the economy who is first and foremost feeding rich individuals. Money derived from exports should put bread on the tables of the poorest of the poor.

There is a possibility that 2020 will be the cut-off time for first world guilt and sympathy for Africa. The strong nations may return to their former tendency to exploit the African nations without consideration for the people. Africa needs to build a strong structure before then.

Africa needs to protect itself from harmful external interference, however Africa needs to remember that it is a baby as far as National Unity is concerned and should learn from 'first world' examples.

Racial empowerment laws leave no opportunities in the job market for white male school leavers.

White male children especially will find it difficult to get good jobs. They have to wait for the selection to sift through potential employees among black women, black men, colored women, colored men and lastly white women before white boys are often considered for a job in a major South African company. The same racial sifting will be repeated when promotions are to be considered

White children need to be empowered to become managers and run their own companies before they leave school.

White parents will need to find solutions for the male unemployment problem. Giving your child a good education is no longer good enough for South African whites. Perhaps we should look at black tribal customs, (where the boys go into the bush to become men), for a new solution to the present employment problem.

White boys could attend a finishing school year to become managers and self empowered as a new white tribal custom. (Perhaps in the overseas work market instead of the bush)

One cannot fight against the odds. While black people carry bleeding psychological wounds from past injustices, whites need to allow them the space to heal without sinking into poverty and despair.

Struggle makes one strong and “Boer maak 'n plan” There must be a peaceful solution. A win-win solution for all races. We can not force racial equality in the job market but we must find a working solution.

Perhaps South Africans living overseas can help securing the futures of the boys from their fellow countrymen.

Floor Crossing a crime

Crossing the floor to another political party should be a criminal offense.

It should be a sign that a minister is not to be trusted. He/she makes promises to the voters that he/she does not keep.

Such a person could be classed as a liar.

Do not vote for someone who cannot stand behind his (or her) words.

Remember such people. Store their names to memory. Never support them. They may let you down again.

Governments should be run by honesty, integrity and according to the wishes and needs of the people.

Scary stuff

POLICIES THAT HURT NEED SOLUTIONS THAT HEAL

BEE - Blind economic Empowerment

Blind Economic Empowerment - BEE

The racial economic empowerment strategies are being stepped up in South Africa again. It beats me how people can justify laws that cripple the economy. Both the black empowered and the white suppressed see empowerment from different angles. As it has been said: "the argument is whether the stripes on the Zebra is white or black". However I am sure that if one looks closely at the whole zebra one will discover its basic color and that of the stripes. Both belongs to the same zebra

From where I "kyk die kat van die boom uit" I just see that every month someone I know leaves the country. Most of them are highly educated, qualified rich and skilled successful managers or company owners. Their expertise will be lost for South Africa but will widen the gap between first and third world economies. Many of them built their companies up from scratch. Some were involved with charity ventures. All employed people of all races and they also employed domestic workers and gardeners. Their workers and colleges may have became unemployed when their businesses changed hands or closed down. Their places got filled by less skilled workers or skilled workers and managers who could have filled other posts or started their own or other companies to fill the growing unemployment gaps.

To convince me that this trend does not harm the economy I will need to see statistics to prove it. Not the "duim gesuigde" statistics but real ones.

There are more black people in Africa so if economic empowerment was employed to the children born in freedom seventeen years ago, we would today been faced with a majority of black highly well educated children waiting to enter university and in a very short time the economic imbalances would have been something of the past. Instead we sit with a massive skills and jobs shortage. Starving people are pouring over the borders looking for more jobs and politicians who still try to saddle the sick striped economic zebra. Poor people still do not have money to pay for first class education for their children.

In 1990 when I worked in a maternity hospital the race of babies born (at least that year) were left from the birth certificates. Intermarriage were no longer frowned upon. Within a very short time these children will be entering the job market. Will the government be using Natzi statistics to determine who qualify for empowerment then?

Forget empowerment laws. Concentrate on new jobs for the surplus black skilled people who are ready to contribute to the economy. This cake is big enough to share.
