The Remarkable Story of Jack, the Baboon SignalmanHistory Facts – In 1881, a South African railroad employee named James Wide purchased a baboon named Jack whom he trained to become his assistant.

Four years earlier, Wide had suffered a terrible accident in which he lost both his legs, and he was struggling to perform at work. He discovered Jack at a local market, where the baboon was leading an oxcart. Wide was so impressed with the animal’s abilities that he purchased the creature and deputized Jack as an employee at the Port Elizabeth Railway Station. Continue reading →

White Slums of South Africa [Video]

Alexandra Bruce – This is a very well-made and emotionally engaging documentary about South Africa today, with a primary focus on the growing group of disenfranchised white Afrikaners, squatting in public parks and on former landfills, in what some of them feel is due to the “reverse Apartheid” of the very aggressive affirmative action-type policies which are now in place, whereby it is nigh impossible for these lower class whites to get hired.

The presenter is British of African descent, which adds a very interesting dimension to this story about what has become of these hapless descendants of the Boers.

For the record, it was not the Boers who imposed the extremely cruel and violent system of racial Apartheid, it was the British, who defeated two Boer nations in South Africa: the South African Republic (Republic of Transvaal) and the Orange Free State in 1902. Institutionalized Apartheid was mandated during British Rule in 1948.

The massive bubble in US dollars is so obvious in this country

South AfricaSimon Black – When I did the math in my head last week, I had to pull out my phone’s calculator just to make sure I hadn’t mentally misplaced the decimal point.

It turns out I was right. My rental car in Cape Town would cost me just $8/day. And that included all the silly taxes and fees and nonsense.

Eight bucks. I imagine that the car depreciates more than that.

The rest of my time here has been filled with similar awe.

Dinner for two at a high-class restaurant along the oceanfront promenade in one of Cape Town’s most luxurious neighborhoods set me back about $30.

And that included wine, multiple courses, taxes, tip, the whole nine yards.

Nearly everywhere I see here is shockingly cheap… when I convert to dollars.

Grocery stores sell giant bags of food—fresh plums and peaches, for less than a dollar per kilo, or about 40 cents per pound.

And of course, one of the reasons I came here to begin with is because Round-the-World flights starting in South Africa are dirt-cheap.

My itinerary has me traveling from here to Australia, Asia, South America, the US, Europe, and back to South Africa, all for about $5,500. In business class. Continue reading →

These Stone Structures Aren’t Meant To Be Here

When historians first stumbled on ‘Adam’s Calendar’, the mysterious remains of stone structures that litter miles of land in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, they made what seemed a logical assumption: These circular pods must be cattle kraal left behind by the Bantu people who once inhabited the area. Yet further study showed this assumption was wrong. Because these formations had NOTHING to do with the Bantu people and everything to do with a truth that must radically change our beliefs of what early mankind was really capable of.

Sartre ~ Nelson Mandela The Myth And The Reality

BATR  December 9 2013

“The suggestion made by the State that the struggle in South Africa is under the influence of foreigners or communists is wholly incorrect. I have done whatever I did, both as an individual and as a leader of my people, because of my experience in South Africa and my own proudly felt African background, and not because of what any outsider might have said.” – Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela the Myth and the Reality

mandela_batr

Seldom does a cultural test so clearly delineate the rational from the imbeciles. The interminable eulogizing of Nelson Mandel is an unambiguous sign of the lack in historic perspective and understanding that passes for public consensus. The mass media would have you believe that Mandela is a hero, when the evidence and particulars tell a very different story. Let no fact get in the way of making a New World Order icon. Simply put, the elites created Communism as a step towards imposing a universal authoritarian dictatorship.

The Mandela presidency of South Africa, 1994–1999 set in motion the destruction of a country that long defied the forces of global interdependency. The enshrinement of a multicultural nirvana is a commissar tenant of the campaign against an independent Afrikaner society. How did it work out? The betrayal by F. W. De Klerk of not opposing Mandela was the death knell of a first world country.

Do you have the courage to watch the video, Nelson Mandela The Terrorist is Dead or is such a inference an automatic rejection of your “inquiring mind”, because you subscribe to the Morgan Freeman school of idolization: “a saint to many, a hero to all who treasure liberty, freedom and the dignity of humankind.” Well, his idea of a “Freeman” probably missed the daily rushes of Mandela’s death skills, as he was reading from the Invictus script.
