[I used to put up a lot of photos which I got from newspapers which had a mainly black audience. I would walk past newspaper outlets on my way to work each day and would browse the news stands looking for juicy articles.

The newspapers which serviced the black community, like The Daily Sun, had wild and amazing stories in them and I used to put these on my website.

And do you know… that bit by bit… those stories changed, and now I am hard-pressed to find anything really good in those papers. Now they too are as bland and sanitised as the “white” newspapers.

I have believed for some time, that as much as one exposes what goes on, there is a secret war being waged from the Government’s side, to keep things out of the media and to deny people like me, the ammunition to use…

Sure they put up some crimes, because they’re so huge and open. But much is suppressed, and I am sure that the Government monitors sites like mine, sees what I put up and then goes and has some chats to those editors and encourages them to not publish certain types of stories again.

Another thing I note is that there is a dearth of studies giving out lots of statistics. There was a time when lots of statistics were being put out in various news stories… really juicy statistics showing the rotten state of this country. I used these to compile my Ten Years After Apartheid articles, and I was busy working on a Twelve Years After Apartheid one, which is incomplete, which I just don’t have time to finally edit and put out.

But it does not matter… this country is going to hell in a hand basket anyway… and truly enormous stories cannot be blocked.

I’m telling you, that secretly, while Mbeki is in office, the Liberals are working hand in hand with him to help keep the truth about the real state of this country from people.

It could be that if Zuma comes to power, that these same Liberals may try to do the opposite, in order to sink him… perhaps…

But there is an information battle going on… for news about this country. And don’t think the Govt is sitting around, letting websites pump out the facts without fighting back secretly in all sorts of ways… INCLUDING… putting out fake stories which could later be disproved.

There is a real *WAR* going on… about the FACTS relating to THE STATE OF THIS NATION! But again, I don’t concern myself too much about this… we’ve been fighting this war for some years now, and the wheels will come off of Mbeki’s little plan… so I’m not too hassled about it. Eventually, the collapse will be so enormous that nobody will be able to hide it. It has started already. Jan]
