										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Conservatives and Christians around the World must be furious at the recent Pride parades and LGBTQ PLUS rallies which have taken place in countries such as our very own South Africa, Canada, the US, the Netherlands, Spain and Brazil.</p>
<p>Common practices at these events include placards in which Jesus is mocked and belittled, adult men dressed up in pink and rainbow colours performing all sorts of derogatory sexual acts in front of little children whilst parents stand by and watch, and slogans such as &#8216;Not today Jesus&#8217; and all sorts of other distasteful phrases being displayed with glee and arrogance by attendees. Recently in Belfast, Northern Ireland, a man could be seen dressed up as &#8220;mock Jesus&#8221;, wearing a crown of thorns, which is very symbolic to Christian believers, and a gold cross, dancing g down the street as spectators gathered. Similarly, in Denmark, a controversial mock reenactment of the Last Supper was staged, which caused an uproar amongst Christians, which is understandable.</p>
<p>What would happen if other religious deities or gods, such as Buddha or Mohamed would be made a mockery of? And why is it always Christianity which is targeted? Could this be a sign of a time when believers of the Holy Church and the Bible will have to face increasing opposition for no particular reason? Is it a sign of Socialism, Marxism, Communism and Atheism combining g to form an alliance against good Western values? Or are we just living in a World where people have sadly lost their identity, their self-respect and their dignity, and are now looking for answers far and wide, rather than doing some introspection with regards to what is acceptable public behaviour and how careful we need to be with what we put out in front of our children and those who are vulnerable or susceptible to having a lack of self-worth or identity?</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t outright condemn members of the LGBTQ + community, but I also urge those individuals who practice such things to do so responsibly and out of the sight of our youth, as these sort of actions are aggressively immoral, in my view, and reek of total disrespect and a lack of self-awareness. We are all responsible for our behaviour, and given the fact that SA is predominantly a Christian nation, these parades and practices deserve to be scrutinized or at least monitored more strictly, for the sake of our children and purely out of reverence for who the God of the Bible is to some of us.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking for sympathy or an easier life in SA, forget about it, especially if you are White, a supporter of Capitalism and free markets, and a friend of Israel or Trump.</p>
<p>Hostility towards Whites purely due to their skin pigmentation has skyrocketed in a post-Apartheid, post-Mandela age. The World once looked at our country as the blueprint for a perfectly synchronized, non-racial rainbow society, but as the Zuma-led ANC entered our economic timeline, everything that was once hoped for and fought for came crashing down and swirling down the drain of &#8216;redress and revenge&#8217;. Race laws, quotas in sport, BBBEE, a hunger for land reform, nepotism and state capture had become stock standard everyday practice for the pro-transformation tenderpreneurs. Throw into this mix the aggressive pushback from the red berets and Malema&#8217;s insatiable appetite for &#8216;cutting the throats of Whiteness&#8217; and &#8216;killing the Boer&#8217;, as his song suggests, and you have a cesspool of wanton race politics constructed by hatred and a pigmentation obsession.</p>
<p>For over 20 years now, White people have had to endure the constant reminders from our Black brothers and sisters how wrong Apartheid was and how much hurt our forefathers had caused, and I&#8217;m starting to wonder what the sum total of White hatred has ultimately added up to, and how much longer White minority groups can endure the onslaught? From thousands of proudly South African, Springbok-loving, biltong-eating Mango-groovin Whities leaving our shores for the cold, volcanic island of the New Zealand Maori with its long white cloud, or the similarly warm blue oceans of Australia, with its kangaroos, very different accents and similar multi-cultural Mish-mash of Asians, Afrikaners, Chinese, Muslim and other interesting people, to farmers having to pack up to go and farm in the USA or Europe, leaving behind decades of South African dreams and aspirations, pushed out by racist legislation and ANC cadre-corruption.</p>
<p>Whether your son had been left out of a particular rugby team due to race politics or affirmative action, or your job application was unsuccessful despite your obvious qualifications for the role that had been advertised, if you are White and have been living in SA for long enough, you would have felt the sting of revenge and anger at some point, driven by an ANC government and kept alive by millions of ignorant voters who just keep voting for the most inept, greedy government to continue pounding whites into the ground and literally edging them out of society, one race law at a time, but not only that, but hurting their own people through rising unemployment, ridiculous cost of living and making them depend on a social grant which would inevitably force them to either commit crimes, steal or end up in prison, only to continue the same patterns of an unfulfilled and uninspired life again.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The DA&#8217;s John Steenhuisen, who is no stranger to most South Africans by now, has seemingly lost his identity since joining the GNU- Becoming the laughing stock of the DA and, most of all, Ramaphosa and the ANC&#8217;s excuse and a scapegoat.</p>
<p>The Foot and Mouth Disease crisis, although not created by Steenhuisen, has exposed him and the DA for being untrustworthy and far from ready to govern SA. One would be forgiven for thinking that the party in blue who govern so well in the Western Cape, could save South Africa from falling off the cliff of the economic abyss that the ANC and it&#8217;s cadres had created, but after witnessing Steenhuisen&#8217;s performance at the Whitehouse, the FMD fiasco, the sacking of former fellow DA members Dion George, Andrew Whitfield and Emma Powell and Geordin Hill Lewis&#8217; unwarranted attack on Piet Groenewaldt, voters should have enough information to make a well-informed decision about who governs SA in the future, or not.</p>
<p>The DA&#8217;s request for a reshuffling of the cabinet and laying off of Steenhuisen to save face will be used by Ramaphosa as a political weapon as he drags out the process, and watches more DA voters lose patience with the once-trusted party, which once upon a time valued the private sector and fought against the ANC, rather than getting cosy with it. The next election will be an unforgettable one, as South Africans no longer know who to trust or who to vote for. The common theme around the World right now is that governments are becoming more totalitarian, and the people are becoming more resistant to being controlled, and more reluctant to want to see change. Classic examples are the recent resignation of Keir Starmer and the criticism of Australian left-wing puppet Anthony Albanese.</p>
<p>Steenhuisen went from fearless opposition leader of the DA, to disastrous minister of Agriculture and now, one of SA&#8217;s most -disliked politicians, amongst the likes of Ramaphosa, Malema, Mashatile, Mbalula and Lesufi. White farmers and Afrikaans-speaking voters are obviously highly disgruntled by Steenhuisen&#8217;s recent behaviour, but don&#8217;t think for one second that the DA will only be losing Afrikaner folk! Many people are starting to see their true colours, and I, for one, have to separate myself from the DA faithful despite having supported them for so many years! The ANC is smiling right now, as Steenhuisen has become the very reason that the ANC no longer feels like it is solely responsible for the mess in SA. How convenient for Ramaphosa since the ANC is at its weakest ever! Congratulations to Steenhuisen for taking the heat off the cadres! Let&#8217;s see what this blunder will cost the DA in future!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Foot and Mouth disease is a horrible virus which spreads like wildfire amongst cloven- hoofed cattle herds, causing painful blisters, fever and severe production losses. Although these animals may recover after 2-3 weeks, cattle still suffer from chronic lameness, reduced fertility, and permanent weight loss and even up to 80% reduced milk production. Amongst calves, mortality rates often exceed 20%. Culling of infected cattle often occurs due to the extreme pain and distress caused by the disease, along with production losses. As if this isn&#8217;t tragic enough, some farmers have been reported taking their own lives, as the pressure just got too much to handle.</p>
<p>I have personally seen photos of infected calves and adult cows, mucus dripping from their faces, and swollen, red hooves. It&#8217;s not a pretty sight, and farmers are losing hope, becoming depressed and have been begging our hapless government for help.</p>
<p>The handling of this emergency by John Steenhuisen&#8217;s task team has left a lot to be desired! The man has come under huge scrutiny from farmers and veterinarians alike. The recent sacking of veteran veterinarian Danie Odendal, who has 40 years of scientific experience and is a well-respected man in the farming community, has sent shock waves through South Africa. How dare Steenhuisen fire such a well-versed, intellectual individual, simply for refusing to be part of a cabal of politicians who only operate in the dark and expect favors from morally sound men, which goes against their morals and principles!</p>
<p>SAAI, or the South African Agricultural Initiative&#8217;s Dr Theo de Jager, left a heartfelt message on social media- pleading with all role players and community members to collectively condemn Steenhuisen&#8217;s pathetic performance as minister of Agriculture and the unceremonious dumping of Dr Danie Odendal for criticizing government&#8217;s lethargic response to the crises, which is now sweeping across our country like a tsunami. I, personally, will never be voting for the DA again! Not after what I&#8217;ve seen lately, and how Steenhuisen&#8217;s party has been pandering, almost bending the knee, to the evil ANC cadres! After decades of giving the DA our votes, voters must seriously reconsider who they would like to govern South Africa in future. We know by now that not the ANC, nor the DA, nor the dreaded EFF or MK Party are up for the challenge of running our country in a proper, honorable way — that leaves us with FF PLUS and a few other smaller parties.</p>
<p>Never did I ever foresee a time in which Steenhuisen and the DA would fall from grace so suddenly, and to top it all, become just another version of the Socialist ANC! The Foot and Mouth crisis has highlighted the vacuum of morality that exists amongst our politicians, showcasing just how much the hunger for power, influence and position can cloud people&#8217;s minds! Steenhuisen has become a great example of a once fiercely competitive opposition leader, who has turned out to be a spineless, people-pleasing puppet who couldn&#8217;t care less about our farmers, our bio-security, nor our people! Case in point was his poor performance at the White House, when President Trump presented him with an opportunity to come clean about the racism crisis in SA!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is our government possibly complicit in crimes against humanity for its failure to speak out against the Ayatollahs of Iran right now? Secondly, is the ANC&#8217;s and Pandor&#8217;s association with Iran questioned enough by South Africans? I don&#8217;t think so.</p>
<p>For those who are hiding under a rock or might have been living off the grid, Iranians are currently being slaughtered by the hundreds daily for protesting against the terror regime of Ayatollah Khamenei. Reports have come in of automatic weapons being used against bare-handed women and children on the streets, and even in hospitals and at citizens&#8217; workplaces. The use of tear gas and guns has been reported. These are unthinkable acts of barbarism, and it almost equates to the Nazis who killed so many Jews during the dreaded Holocaust of 1941.</p>
<p>Our government was very vocal when Israel went into Rafah in search of terror masterminds such as Yahya Sinwar and other Hamas fighters, accusing Israel of genocide and illegal occupation, but what about the people of Iran? Do their women and children, who are predominantly Muslim, not deserve freedom as well, like the Gazans and the Jews, for that matter? Why is Gaza different from Iran? Could it be because the IRGC is finally being toppled by brave, defenceless citizens and that one of the ANC&#8217;s biggest allies, the Iranian regime, is falling? Whatever Trump and his army decide to do over the next few days, nobody can deny that he is the only president who is willing to stick his neck out in support of oppressed people groups such as Christians in Nigeria, Venezuelans who were brutally oppressed by Maduro, and now the Iranians who have suffered under Khamenei since 1979!</p>
<p>Should we, as South Africans, demand more accountability from the ANC, in particular, for its friendship with the Ayatollahs? Can we be happy when we see what is happening in Iran, whilst our government remains silent, just like Barack Obama did when he had the chance to effect change in Iran? I am proud of the Iranian people for finally saying&#8221; enough is enough&#8221;! As for our corrupt leaders in SA, where are you now????</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;Globalize the Intifada&#8221;, they say&#8230; &#8220;From the River to the sea, Palestine will be free&#8221;, &#8230;but look where that got us! In another bizarre, barbaric mass shooting in Australia at the well-renowned Bondi Beach, innocent Jews celebrating Hannukkah paid with their blood when radical gunmen opened fire on them, killing several people and injuring many more.</p>
<p>Australia is supposedly one of the safest countries in the world,  but with spineless, terror-sympathizing leaders such as Anthony Albanese, what did Australians expect? After several warnings from the Israeli government to the Australian prime minister, Albanese&#8217;s ignorance and arrogance have now led to a situation which is getting out of control! Hannukkah is Christmas for Jews, just like we here in South Africa celebrate the birth of Jesus. Worldwide, Jews are having to celebrate behind barricades whilst Barbaric radical Islamists tear down Christmas trees, intimidate innocent peace-loving citizens at campuses and on the streets,  aiming to drive Jews off the cliff of Antisemitic Hell on Earth! It simply cannot go on like this! Where is the public outcry? Why is Palestine more important than protecting Jewish communities? Since that dreaded attack on Oct 7th by Hamas terrorists, antisemitism has risen by 700% across the globe! These are the stats, people! Hamas has opened the floodgates on what has seemingly become a free-for-all attack on Jewish people!</p>
<p>Fortunately, people around the World who have a moral compass and a strong voice are waking up and speaking up against Radical Islam and its Marxist tendencies. We cannot let this cancer of antisemitism spread any further! What started with the Jews will end with the Christians- in Iran, there is literally a clock which indicates the countdown to the complete annihilation of Jews, and those who follow the developments daily, are obliged to share the truth- not only for the sake of Jews, but the entire Free World! If we remain silent, the World will become a cesspool of Antisemitic hatred and violence as we&#8217;ve never witnessed before! To our President Ramaphosa,  who denies farm murders and allows songs like &#8220;Kill the Boer&#8221;, I hope you are taking notes!</p>

]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have observed much of the political and foreign affairs-landscape of South Africa for quite some time now, and I have found that there are possibly over a dozen very dangerous ideologies, political agendas which are interwoven with so-called religious duties and then of course, laws which govern us in such a way that the State would eventually rule over everything, whilst average tax-paying South Africans must suffer.</p>
<p>Due to South Africa&#8217;s extremely diverse societal landscape, the danger always exists that one people group would want to dominate another, and religious acts would eventually be politicized for greedy, nefarious outcomes. Look at the highly polarizing Israel-Hamas war, for instance. It has produced some of the most hateful, targeted conversations, despite South Africa being a predominantly Christian nation. Certain questionable behaviours by very influential people are swept under the rug, whilst average citizens are swimming in uncertainty- uncertain about the future of their very traditional values, their belief systems, and their culture coming under attack by radical minority groups who seek to completely alienate us from our own deeply rooted cultural foundations.</p>
<p>White Afrikaner people are probably the most marginalized, misunderstood culture group in South Africa today! Radical characters such as Julius Malema, Carl Niehaus, Andile Mngxitama, Jacob Zuma, Max du Preez and our very own President, who uses his calm demeanour and soothing voice to lull us into a slumber of cultural suicide, are prime examples of influential individuals who seemingly use dangerous, divisive tactics to polarize our people. This is all at the expense of minority Afrikaners and even ANC supporters who know very little about how Communism and Socialism work.</p>
<p>We can never allow ourselves to become victims of death cult ideologies, struggle songs which call for the killing of certain people groups or the blatant gaslighting by our own government regarding life-long allies of the US, such as Israel. Mainstream media plays a massive role here to protect the people&#8217;s sovereignty, not the State&#8217;s evil plans to crush us, divide us and enslave us!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Israel, or shall I say the IDF&#8217;s actions during the war in Gaza, has led to much debate and an explosion of criticism from the Left, in particular, pro-Palestinians and people of the Islamic faith. This is understandable, as the death toll in Gaza has been very high, and Hamas has not made it any easier on Netanyahu&#8217;s brave men. This is a war unlike anything we have ever witnessed. No other nation or &#8216;Resistance group&#8217; will use its own people as shields or keep hostages in terror tunnels for months on end, even when they are losing the war and being eliminated like ants. Am I a fan of everything that the IDF has had to do? No, I am not.</p>
<p>Reading letters from the likes of Nashad Dada (the truth that Judeo-Christians need to reflect on) and then Z Khan&#8217;s letter (There can be no liberation without resistance), it has become clear to me that there is a huge misunderstanding, not only about what the Bible says about who Isael really is, but also the fact that it was never about land, but more about ideology and God&#8217;s promises to His people. Now, although Muslims acknowledge that Jesus exists and that He was indeed a prophet, they tend to confuse the scriptures of the Bible with the actions of Israel, the geographical Middle-Eastern nation. Are all Jews Zionists? No. Are all Christians in favour of murdering Gazans? Certainly not. Do all Jews believe in Jesus? No, they don&#8217;t. I have been called a Zionist, compared with Trump and other individuals such as Piers Morgan, who, by the way, has been very critical of Israel lately, and there is an assumption that I support genocide. This is complete rubbish! Dada and Khan have nothing else to offer in this argument, so all they do is revert back to the scripted narrative of using buzz words such as &#8216;Occupation, Ethnic cleansing, Genocide and Apartheid&#8217;. These words are used ad nauseam, as Radical Islam is strengthening its grip on the Western World.</p>
<p>It is critical for my detractors to firstly understand that I believe in Jesus, and yes, that He preached peace, love and forgiveness. Netanyahu is not Jesus, and most Jews don&#8217;t acknowledge Christ, the Messiah, as their savior. They follow Old Testament law, which clearly is something that Jesus came to fulfil, but also to do away with. His death on the Cross paid the ultimate price for all Sin, and human sacrifices, as still practiced by Jews regularly, are no longer required. Why is it that people of Islam find it necessary to compare the IDF with Jesus, or try to draw a parallel between their actions and what He taught? This can never be accurate. A lot of what is going on in Gaza right now is chaotic and unacceptable, from both sides, but show me one war where there have been no casualties, or where the ratio of combatants to civilians killed is so low, as with this war? You see, it&#8217;s not about ethnic cleansing or Occupation at all; it&#8217;s a spiritual war between a lost Biblical nation that won&#8217;t acknowledge Christ, and a people who claim that possession of land is an excuse to try and eradicate an entire nation, after which the Christians will be the next target.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t have to be a Jew to be concerned about or speak out against what I see happening all over the World with Free Palestine protests, antisemitic attacks and aggressive, radicalized individuals who chant &#8216;Death to Israel and death to America&#8217;. Globalising an Intifada is demonic!. Tell me about one good thing that these protests have produced? Nothing! It&#8217;s all about making a statement and twisting the truth to try to excuse barbaric &#8216;resistance fighters&#8217; to act the way they do. No religion on Earth, not Islam, nor Hinduism, nor Christianity, should necessitate the brutal killing of another. If you want to criticize me for speaking up against radical Islam, then stop chanting death to Israel or America, and stop the violent protests and ongoing chaos.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>South Africa is on auction, and the highest bidders are actively pursuing its riches. A country which abounds in Nature&#8217;s beauty, which was built by European hands and coloured in by diverse people groups, has turned into a circus- a Free-For-All where Gupta-ites fly in and settle like aliens on a new planet, filled with resources to pillage. Like grasshoppers, ANC supporters who come together at stadiums in their masses, dressed in Green, Black and yellow regalia, who feed on an Apartheid narrative and blindly follow their leaders, have stripped the land bare. Weirdly, it is not them who have eaten the crops, but it&#8217;s the Cadre- locusts &#8211; the most vicious and demanding of the entire swarm.</p>
<p>Chinese, Iranians, Russians&#8230;they too have been in on the action for decades now- having raped, abused and annihilated Lady South Africa, to the point where she can be found lying on the floor and bleeding out. Radicalised &#8216;Refugees&#8217; who call themselves Palestinians are able to fly into the country, unchecked and apparently without prior knowledge and with the help of some influential do-gooders, they are allowed to enjoy and pollute our precious land- who knows how many of these poor souls have already flown into SA? They must be so hungry, shame! Worst of all, their passports have not been stamped, along with the millions of others who have visited Israel since 2013! Just like the Guptas, they only deserve our utmost best treatment! Besides, no other Arab nation wants anything to do with them! I wonder why?</p>
<p>As if Lady SA has not had to endure enough abuse and annihilation already since the Zuma/Ramaphosa years, foreigners flood through our borders to also come and enjoy the spoils. Nigerians, who unceremoniously murder and behead Christians in true seal-clubbing fashion, are allowed into SA unchecked, and not only that..they take our jobs, add to our outrageous crime stats, rape, kill and destroy. What does our government do? They simply keep welcoming these destroyers, as if they add value to our economy! All we can do is stand and watch in horror.</p>
<p>At the current rate, SA will soon be an unrecognizable wasteland, an Armageddon-like heap of rubble, much like Gaza- the only difference is, Gaza had it coming, and SA has been pummeled, pillaged, ransacked and abused by the very ones who were supposed to build and protect it! But the Apartheid narrative has to be kept alive. The Cadres have to keep eating, and boy, have they eaten! The feast has carried on for 30 years, and the Global South, the likes of Khamenei, Jinping, Putin and co have not been too disappointed. Thanks to the ANC vultures, they too have enjoyed free reign, just like the Guptas, Palestinians and Nigerians, communist World leaders are treated to a red carpet and a buffet of taxpayer-sponsored delicatessen! What the White man has worked for, the ANC has reaped the benefits of, and on top of that, the White man must still apologize for the wrongs of the past, even if they happened before many of our lifetimes! But hey, Palestine must be free!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is alleged that Dr Imtiaz Sooliman, the founder of Gift of the Givers, has ties with Hamas and Iran, and could possibly have been involved in a calculated proxy war on Israel and so-called &#8216;Zionism&#8217;. He, of course, denies every bit of the allegations made against him, in typical Taqiyya fashion. When asked about where all the money comes from. Hod GOTG manages to give so much to charities and humanitarian crises, he simply doubles down on his commitment to Allah and the fact that he does not have to abide to international law and order, and he reiterates that &#8216;we&#8217;, meaning him and his fellow followers of Islam, &#8216;must not back down or show fear, but rather strike fear into those who oppose their ideology&#8217;.</p>
<p>Personally, I am sick and tired of hearing how wonderful Mr Sooliman is, and how much he has done for society, when he is allegedly funding terror activities against Israel or, at the very least, playing a role in the ongoing antisemitic attacks on the Jews, whether these attacks are physical or media-related. Sooliman and his supporters blindly obsess about what their god, Allah, expects of them, almost to the degree where nobody can challenge their ideology or say anything bad about Islam or Hamas, and Hamas is seen as a &#8216;Resistance movement&#8217;, despite its inhumane, barbaric actions on October 7th, 2023. Anybody who sympathizes with such heinous activities doesn&#8217;t deserve to run an organisation such as GOTG, let alone being viewed as some sort of Messiah or hero of the people.</p>
<p>To me, Mr Sooliman has a lot to answer! The country is waking up to the involvement of the South African Government and Iran in accusing Israel at the ICJ, and the puzzle pieces are starting to come together! There can be no place in South Africa, or anywhere in the World, for Radical Islamic ideology to spread and infiltrate our already fragile society! Another NGO which is now being weaponized against Israel, and eventually Christianity, is the Nelson Mandela Foundation under none other than Naledi Pandor! If you ask me, these 2 individuals need to be carefully watched, and their fake righteousness needs to be called out for what it actually is: an attempt to sow division and usher in their own ideologies.</p>
<p>I urge all South Africans to do their own research into where the money of these NGO&#8217;s comes from, and ultimately, for what means it is being utilised. Nothing is as it seems anymore, and people who are trusted fully by our citizens are abusing their powers to ultimately push their narratives onto us and do away with Western and Judeo-Christian values. The likes of Pandor and Sooliman see the West, and Israel, as a threat, when the truth is that Israel is protecting the World from Radical Islam.</p>
<p>The media is pulling wool over our eyes, and we must be so careful that we don&#8217;t allow death-cult ideologies to mushroom in our society. It is like a fungus that will spread very quickly.</p>
