4 All Old Folks around the Globe Part 6 on Africa Then and Now

April 30, 2018

This is just an Interlude; read Parts One to 5 before you continue with this one.

The World is an old Place; very little is known about the origins and when it came about and I am not going to go into that.  Modern Science and Archaeology are mere speculation about the matter.

All that is documented is from Israel and Egypt; somehow they seem to have been there first and strong bonds still exist between the two countries.

That enables me to draw some sort of a distinction between the Continents of Africa and Europe, but [and a large But, that is], Egypt is there right at the top of the eastern side of Africa and Israel is smack in the middle of what was once referred to as Arabia.  Nobody knows about Russia or China; the so-called West never bothered to find out and these two giants were not ever in the past in the habit of parading around the Globe to announce their virtues.

To me sufficient evidence exist with substantial evidence that the first civilization came about in these four Countries; then Greece followed with the first and to me still the finest, “schools” of philosophy.

Italy remains a mystery; whatever and how they managed to grab control of early Christianity and keep it in Rome remains a mystery.  After all is said and done Italy like all other European countries were inhabited by wandering tribes that kept on the move to whichever place provided shelter and food; when the latter was depleted the migrants moved on, as indeed was the case around the Globe for all we know.

Just one thing remains for this Part.  Somehow the old Italian Monks started making the finest dry White wines in the World; try Est. Est. if you don’t want to take my word for it; on the other hand Portugal found the way to make the best “green wines” from “green grapes” ever and nobody has ever come close to copy their Casal Garcia and Aveleda de Blanca.  Chilli in South America makes some fine ones but the Porra has the secret to it.  I do believe it is because they still in this age chuck the grapes in the old foot vats and the entire family takes part in the ritual; maybe I shall move to Portugal one day.

England at that time; the noble Knights of the Round Table; nobility of any kind?  My foot; they were a barbaric bunch until barely 100 years ago today.  It came as no surprise to me when Old Jomo started ridding Kenya of the curse in 1960.

Part 7 to follow soon; the Continent of Africa deserves a special Part to do it justice.

The Power of One

September 8, 2017

What would happen if someone steals the Atlantic Ocean tonight and we find it’s all gone when we wake up in the morning?

By mid morning the rot has set in on the West Coast of Southern Africa and will reach Maine in the USA by evening.

What will it look like in a week?

Impossible you say; it cannot happen others will laugh at you.

Well let me tell you, the Vodacom accounts or billing clerks think they can do it and get away with it.

I AM GOING TO STOP THEM!

I am One of We the People; Yes, I am One of We the People

August 30, 2017

From this day on I aim to be One and I intend to stand firm and will not budge.

 We have a Constitution and I shall obey and honor that but I shall demand that others in business or politics do the same where it affects me or those that are dear to me.

 Join me and let us discuss our Constitution and our rights and duties; we cannot have the rights without the implicit duties to grant the other one the same rights in terms of our Constitution in everything in our daily lives.

Join me now.

The Deceit and the Woes of White South Africa

July 31, 2017

 

America has been Front Page News in South Africa as you will all understand.  Well, I shall now reciprocate with things that never get into our Media.  Quite frankly I believe they are probably up to their necks in the “cover-up” of this sort of thing but I have decided to stick my neck out and publish it to assist a Friend.

 It starts with his Email to an Attorney, name of Van Zyl on 21st July 2017

 Re: Piketberg Civil Court Case 386/2009

 “Van Zyl

 I find it distasteful to even write to you; you are a punk, but for what it is worth I shall do it once.

 You are way out of line; the Constitution regulates all Laws and all People and Bodies of People involved in the Administration of the Law.

 Your type doesn’t belong in the Law; you got stuck somewhere in early 1973 and obviously never got through 1996 in the dream World of White Afrikaner Privilege that will Rule again.

 My submissions comply with the Constitution.  That revered Document is sacrosanct and is The Highest Law in the Land.

 Seeing the crap that you are trying to catch an innocent man, as you did on 25th August 2009 to catch him unaware and for him to sign your Default order, I suggest that you do not use Elgar Julius again to do your dirty work for you.

 You know as well as I do that Kennedy is running a Knock Shop scam and all you are trying to do is to keep him from appearing in Court.

 Go on as you seem to want; but your time is up.  I shall take him down and you and Miss Prissy Devine with him.

 Your type should be barred for Life from entering any Court Office, leave alone appearing for clients.

 You are a misplaced arrogant Bastard and your days of hegemony, your bluffing of junior officials in administration of the Law in Magistrate Courts are gone forever from this land!

 Go ahead and sue me, Punk.

 He then followed the above up with this and sent it out widely to virtually everyone he could think of, to the South African Police, the Cape Legal Society and the Court in the town where the scumbag Attorneys have their Practice.

 “PUBLIC NOTICE to whom it may concern

 I, XXX XXXXXXXXX [Full Personal Information as per another Attachment hereto for whom it may concern] [hope my readers will understand that I don’t quote his name] hereby advise that I have no interest  whatsoever in Case 386/09 in the Piketberg  Civil Court Western Cape South Africa.

2

I am aware of the Case but I am not the person alluded to as Defendant in piles of paper junk mail by so-called professional Attorneys De Villiers van Zyl about an alleged claim by a local businessman of ill repute doing business under the name of Midas Motolek CC [for closed Corporation] from premises at 37 Die Trek Street, Piketberg, Western Cape, South Africa.

3

I once had work done with the business as mentioned and we had an argument about sloppy workmanship on my motor vehicles and I refused to pay for overcharging.

4

An effort was made to blackmail me which I defended; like the kind of business man he is the purported owner of the business, fellow going by the name of Andre Kennedy, managed to obtain a default summons the way crooked Attorneys do this sort of thing in our Country but I opposed that in Court where the Honourable Magistrate of the Court did not hesitate to overturn the default ruling previously signed by a clerk as they used to do these things in our Country; the so-called Claimant did not even turn up for the Court hearing.  That was on 25th August of the year 2009.

5.

In the intervening years I suffered a total collapse in my eye sight, and also my health on two occasions in 2011 and 2014 that made it impossible for me to take any remedial action, and there was no action at all, not one single word from Midas or their legal Council.

6.

In October 2016, following on routine inquiries and good work by the South African Police Services, Legal Council [see 2 above] for Midas sprang into action with a flurry of paper in the Civil Court, one worthless effort after the other.

7.

Typical of the kind of Attorneys that get involved in shady deals but have no experience of business practice, they have been flooding the Court with worthless paper but got names and addresses so thoroughly mixed up that no one can now decide who is the Claimant or the Defendant, but even worse, all this activity takes place between Attorneys [see 2 above] and admin clerks at the Court and every effort is made to keep it out of sight of the Magistrate of The Court, who is an Honorable Man of the highest calibre.

8

I am now taking this public to all whom it may concern.  In the course of the next few days I shall also convert this document into American English and publish it in WordPress and on FaceBook.

9

In the meantime, take note that I am not interested in pursuing this idiotic “Case” and want nothing further to do with it.

 10

 I will ignore any further email to my address and will only act on instructions as ruled by the Most Honourable Magistrate of the Court and signed as well as stamped by him at his discretion.

 11

 This mess has cost me my health and added to my eye and sight problems.  I must now take care of that.  I have nothing further to say as from the moment I press the Send button on the Computer to transmit the email under cover of which this will be an Attachment.”

This is Modern South African Society as practised by some.  I ask of my Readers that you don’t judge all of us by the same standards as practised by others of whom we indeed, but unfortunately have too many but at least their numbers are dwindling.

 Wish him luck, will you guys?  Anybody who receives or read this may Reblog at will; there is no copyrights reserved.

Attorneys versus Robots

June 18, 2017

I am well qualified through experience to handle this important matter and invite you all to join me here in the course of the next few weeks.

 The articles will be of fun and of tragedy; of reality and the bliss of total ignorance and from farce to hard facts.

 Come join me and make your contributions.

Saka Americoon in Americus GA, the seat of Sumter County, and just 9 miles East of Plains GA where “Djimmie” became President in 1976.  I actually shook his wimpy hand on three occasions and attended a Sunday school Class by him in December of 1987.

Down Memory Lane to this day in 1976

June 16, 2017

Friday, 16 June 2017

You have to be over 60 to have one; maybe in the old days you could have had one at 50 but no more.

In South Africa this day in 1976 was the dividing line between old memory days of April 6th, October 10th, December 16th and a few others.

It matters no more where your own private lane started or where you have gone since; at least not for groups no more though some have made it the starting point of their own.

 I stood at the top of what was then the business centre of Commissioner Street in Old Johannesburg South Africa and cried for my Country.  Having just taken the first two steps up the Corporate Ladder in one go when traffic stopped moving in Commissioner Street; the new Carlton Centre was not even fully operating; the old Alhambra Theatre drinking hole was still there right across the street corner at the north western street junction with the Carlton and the yuppies gathered there every night; on Friday nights their ladies would join them and the place would be packed; full house every Friday.  The JSE was still referred to as Burnett Street.  Soon after it would become Diagonal Street and the Carlton would be a slum.

June 16th of 1976 was the trigger; today Diagonal Street is a slum; nobody in his right mind will drive into the upper east end of Commissioner Street today.

The sad point is that too many are still dwelling on the divisions of the past that made children aged 8 to 10 turn on school buildings and libraries to burn them down and which in turn made it necessary for the armed forces to stop the riots.  Nobody stopped to find the solutions; the Country is in greater agony than ever before.

[to be continued one day; when that will be, I cannot say because we are not working on finding the solutions].

Of Time and a World view by a good American

March 24, 2017

From a Facebook Post by my ole email, Jim in Iowa.

 Verbatim, no editing.

 “Last month, a world-wide telephone survey was conducted by the U.N.

The only question asked was: “Would you please give your honest opinion about possible solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?”

The survey was a complete failure because:

In Eastern Europe they didn’t know what “honest” meant.

In Western Europe they didn’t know what “shortage” meant.

In Africa they didn’t know what “food” meant.

In China they didn’t know what “opinion” meant.

In the Middle East they didn’t know what “solution” meant.

In South America and Russia they didn’t know what “please” meant.

In the USA they didn’t know what “the rest of the world” meant.

And in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Britain everyone hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.”

 Do allow me just a small point on Africa, ole Friend, seing you admit the truth about America.  We have more than 50 countries in Africa, with a combined population of over 1.2 billion.  They don’t agree on anything.

 We get on well with Russia [you lost out on that one]; we buy Chinese pick-up trucks at half the price of a Ford and the Korean Kia has just about taken over the luxury SUV class.  A Kia owner wouldn’t take a second look at a Jeep Cherokee.  You lost out badly on that one.

 Thanks however, you made my day.

History with a short glance at Greece today

July 24, 2015

J.F Kennedy ran for and won the American Presidential Election in the year I had turned 20.

The youth of the time were not as bright as the young ones of today; we didn’t yet know everything but we did speak a lot about how much we knew.

A disease named VD scared most of us but not everyone; in my time though, only one friend collected the dubious distinction; most of us married the first girl he got to know.

Some years later as the youth got to know more somebody announced the discovery of a more serious affliction than VD and they called it Herpes. As young ones became cleverer and soon knew everything they also discovered Aids but that was long after our time.

Some wise crack in his mid twenties came out with the rather comical joke during the Herpes period.

Question: What is the difference between Love and Herpes?

Answer: Herpes lasts forever.

Now that everyone knows everything when he/she is 18, even has the vote [heck in our time we had to wait for 21]; heck, I wonder who can solve this riddle.

Question: What is the difference between Greece and the EU?

Ah well, I am old enough now and Greece is very old; let me give you the answer:

What is the difference? Answer: Greece will last forever.

The EU Whorehouse Comedy.

June 13, 2015

The European Union never was anything other than a high class whorehouse; somebody had the wild dream that it could be the Elite Club for selected Members and the Banking Whores of selected countries to form a private bastion for financial gain of Members Only; no Americans allowed to enter.

Nobody gave a single thought to China, Russia or Asia.

Did they really think that they could pull it off, or did they simply never give it a thought?

America has always been pre-occupied with their fears of Russia and China and kept the World informed of Communist ideology in order to maintain financial supremacy, also in the belief that they would in the course of time be handed the long anticipated boom in African Trade on a plate and never even saw the folly of their isolation across the pond. They missed the rise of Entrepreneurial China, Russia and Asia by the proverbial mile but finally woke up though it was too late to stop the rising Asian giants.

Fortunately, or so some Americans thought, Crimea came up and they scrambled in for the kill in the hope that it would also give them a new foot in the door to trade with Europe. Shucks, they even managed to convince Merkel and France to support them against Russia. The oil price helped a little; they even started to think that they can now take Russia out, but once again forgot to check up on old history; kind of surprised to find that China is backing Russia to the hilt.

Then little old Greece decided they had paid enough to the Whores of Europe and the Comedy commenced.

In the past week hardly one day has passed without at least ten commentaries on Grexit in the World Financial Media. Two days ago some started adding Brexit for extra laughs during interval.

Now I am not saying that the Greeks have a strong poker hand in the present turmoil but it seems obvious that the EU Whores are in the same predicament. Someone may be sitting with three aces; who knows? It’s a game that can probably be won by two small pairs.

 I wonder what makes me think that the Greeks may just have that and actually dare to play it.

Africa 21 years ago Today Part One

April 27, 2015

It was Tuesday April 27th when the clock struck 12 at midnight that the entire Africa was Free at Last; the legitimate black owners of the entire continent were freed and every baby born after midnight that night entered the World as a free person; it is estimated that approximately 1 360 free young ones were born all around the country in the 24 fours that followed; in the first 100 days about 136 000 of them, giving us about half a million new free people by the end of one year after freedom.

At 07:00 AM the next morning the polls opened for all colors and by that night the freedom fires were lit all over the country.

They partied for weeks and the World partied with them. I did too because I had supported the move towards Freedom for all our people for my entire adult life up to that point; that morning I had made my cross on the ballot paper to become a free man too.  It was a time of joy for most.

In Part Two and the others to follow on that we will take a look at Freedom today and how it altered lives of millions in the past 21 years and beyond.
