There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Here is the full text of the letter, and my own analysis of it. This letter caused so much grief between the new SANC breakaway political party and the ANC.
I want to make some points:- 1. Note the continual use of the communist term, “Comrade”. This harks back to the days when the ANC was sponsored by the Soviet Communists and the Cuban communists and the Warsaw Pact communists. The communist influence remains deeply ingrained in them. Further down you will see the use of many old communist terms such as the “bourgeoisie” and a hostility towards capitalism, etc.
2. Former President Mbeki praises “the giants” of their struggle, and among these fine, upstanding people he names as “greats”, you will see filthy beasts like, Robert Mugabe. And this proves, as I said to people over the years, why Mbeki engaged in so-called “Quiet Diplomacy”. It is because Mbeki regards Robert Mugabe as a giant hero and he will NOT work against this hero, and neither will the ANC – ever.
3. Mbeki then waxes lyrical about how they hated the adulation of people and that their organisation is greater than individuals. Then later, he has to of course remind them, that Nelson Mandela is an exception. Yes, Nelson Mandela is a cult figure, if not a semi-God. And they never cease to use this. However, he then tries to explain it away as “exceptional” and that Mandela never really wanted this. Communists traditionally don’t like heroes and personality cults and yet nobody is more guilty of personality cults than communists. From Stalin to Mugabe, in the end, when their rubbish system waned they had to turn to personalities and leaders to shore up their worthless system. I disagree with their approach because in history, true leaders were awe-inspiring and achieved tremendous things – far greater things than any old communist trash achieved because, after all, communists have never built anything. Their only real talent is to break things.
4. Mbeki mentions “in the context of the global struggle”. This is a reference to the Cold War, and their original struggle as part of the communist forces against the West. Clearly, Mbeki has never renounced this, and neither do the existing leaders of the ANC. This brings me back to my theme of the “Eastern Communists” (ANC, with Zuma) and the “Western Communists” (Mbeki and the new political party).
5. Mbeki says that it is false to assert that the new political party is the result of others engaging in “hero worship” of himself. He says it is wrong to assert that Lekota, Shilowa and the dozen or so ministers who resigned, did so out of loyalty to him. This of course, is complete nonsense. Mbeki is now lying to cover up various things on his side, in the same way that Jacob Zuma recently lied to Americans and the West at the University of New York. See Zuma’s Deception offensive: http://localhost:81/acarchive/articlevw.php?R…br> 6. Note Mbeki’s mention of the revolution. That was of course the communist revolution. That still runs in their blood.
7. Mbeki tries to deny being a “cult figure” while asserting that Jacob Zuma has set himself up as a “cult figure” whom the ANC Youth League “would kill for”.
8. I enjoy the way Mbeki speaks of the “immensely challenging and unprecedented situation” with regard to the NPA (National Prosecuting Authority) charges against Zuma. It is funny that Mbeki does not mention his own KEY ROLE in the conniving and skullduggery which brought these charges on to begin with. He then pretends to be impartial!
9. Mbeki then talks total rubbish when he asserts that “despite our best efforts” many in the ANC and in the population “refuse to believe” that there are no divisions in the ANC. Mbeki is now hiding things. But the real question is: WHY? Why is he pretending there is no division, at least in this letter? We will discuss more about this letter later, because I think this letter had a bigger purpose. How much clearer can it be than when the ANC NEC tells Mbeki to resign because they lost faith in him! If that does not show a clear split then nothing does.
10. Mbeki claims that some people in the ANC in cahoots with the media spread outright lies and malicious distortions about him. This is complete junk and nonsense. His statement is broad and vague. There are many specific issues which have come up over the years which show the deceptive, deceitful nature of Mbeki. So this is complete nonsense. Mbeki has been trying to pretend that there is a “lie factory” out there. But it is Mbeki who is the real liar. Just ask the Zimbabweans, they will know it well by now, as well as other black African nations where he plied his trade as a dishonest broker.
11. Mbeki claims he is not in any way involved in what Lekota and Shilowa are doing. I don’t care what Mbeki says in public. I stand by my analysis that Mbeki is deeply involved in this. But, he has a personal game-plan that has another side to it, and that is what we will discuss.
12. If you ever believed that Mbeki was a Liberal, then read the letter. From pages 7-9 he talks about the “national democratic revolution” and how it should continue forward. He speaks in communist-speak all the way. He talks the normal claptrap of “uplifting the masses” – which of course never happens. It hasn’t happened in 14 years and it won’t happen in the next 14 – in fact it will never happen. The blacks of South Africa will just get poorer – MUCH POORER! But they talk about it incessantly even though it never has and never will happen. What Mbeki describes is the forward movement of THE REVOLUTION. Now you would have thought the revolution is over, but it is NOT. Here is a rare booklet from the Apartheid days which spells out the two-phase revolution. See: http://localhost:81/acarchive/articlevw.php?R…Clearly Mbeki believes in this same revolution. As I’ve said before, Zuma and Mbeki believe in the same aim – which is communism, but they differ on the path to get there, and that is really why they are fighting. My analysis of “Eastern” and “Western” communists explains this.
13. But the most important paragraph of all is on page 8. It shows you that Mbeki is a racist communist. The paragraph reads:
the rejection of the phenomenon of the emergence of a black compradore bourgeoisie which, in the context of BBBEE, is ready to front for both the domestic white and international capitalists. Mbeki is attacking blacks who became rich through Black Economic Empowerment (BEE), and who are willing to work with local white capitalists as well as foreign capitalists. This should show very clearly, the fiend that Mbeki is deep down. And it should shock people that this is the type of discussion that two high level politicians are having and that they see capitalism, both domestic and foreign as a threat. And they specifically point to white capitalists, even local ones, as a threat.
MY FINAL THOUGHTS ON MBEKI’S LETTER:
I think Mbeki wrote this letter not for Jacob Zuma but for a wider audience. This letter talks too widely about things which you would not need to tell someone who is familiar with you. This letter is written so that all the things in it, are placed in the proper context that the author wants. If you wrote something to a friend who knew you, you would not describe everything in detail since your friend would already know the background. But this very verbal letter presents the full background. I therefore think that this letter was written from day one for the express purpose of being brought out into the public arena. So for that reason, all the background and context was provided. This letter therefore, is a planned propaganda exercise by Mbeki. It is much be seen for what it is. The pretence is that it is aimed at Zuma but in fact, its real audience is much wider. This letter was no doubt intended to be leaked to the media and to the public all along.
This letter claims that Mbeki does not favour the new party and that he has no part in it, and that he does not favour the old party. I disagree. This letter is written in order to embarrass Zuma’s ANC and so that it can be used to assist the new party. But this letter also has a deeper purpose. This letter answer’s the question of what exactly is Mbeki’s game.
I said to a friend of mine a few days ago, that Mbeki is playing a strange game. And what game exactly is he playing? My friend commented very early on before Lekota resigned, that Mbeki might be a liability to the new party. So I think my friend partially has explained why Mbeki does not openly endorse the new party nor does he lead it. He can’t because he could taint it. Mbeki clearly does not want to work for Zuma and carry out Zuma’s tasks in support of the ANC either. However, notice how Mbeki puts a bunch of instructions, suggestions and almost “orders” into this letter for Zuma to carry out. He is telling him: Continue with the revolution, but do it “this way”. Why? Why is he talking with all this communist speak? Zuma won’t listen to him, so why did he write it? Again, the answer: The wider audience may take many hints from this letter, including existing and disaffected members of the ANC.
There was a discussion a short while back that there are some blacks in the ANC who disagree with Zuma and the Far Left but they believe that the best way forward is to remain in the ranks and to change the ANC from within. Many of them too may derive ideas and direction from this letter.
So let me connect the dots for you. I think this letter was a cunning piece of self-serving literature intended for wide dissemination from day one. It was intended to make things difficult for the ANC while helping Lekota. But its deeper purpose, and Mbeki’s deeper strategy, may be to be “neutral”. He is sitting between both parties and he is pretending to favour both. Mbeki is really gunning for the masses who support the ANC and Zuma. This letter shows his “comradeship” and support of their outright communist agenda. Mbeki wants to be neutral, but he also is playing the game so that he is the future unifier and can bring the ANC and SANC together. His current game plan may therefore be to play both sides and to try to reassert a force inside the ANC in the near and distant future. He is also using that letter to win over many who are pro-Zuma. He wants them to see him in the same light as Zuma. This is to undermine Zuma. Zuma’s ANC I might add are no fools with regard to the split. They know Mbeki supporters inside the ANC are very dangerous. For almost a year now they have been purging the party high and low of suspected Mbeki supporters and I suspect that they are savvy enough to continue to detect and fire anyone who is even slightly pro-Mbeki. They must know that there are “deep cover moles” still left, and they will have to sniff them out one by one – and I have no doubt they will. Their recent softer attitude towards Mbeki was because they were trying to contain the amount of disaffected people. So that toned down their accusations against Mbeki just as Mbeki tones his attitude down to them. Both are playing for public sympathy. But deep down, Zuma’s ANC would do its nut if it knew that Mbeki plans a secret offensive to reinfiltrate people back into the ANC to secretly try to take the ANC back! They will have none of that.
It could therefore be, that Mbeki is on his own mission, not to abandon the ANC, but to sit there, with a finger partially in the pie, planning future infiltrations into the ANC and to quietly chop away the support beams that hold up Zuma and the Far Left. Hence he does not want to cut his ties completely because he wants to be an influence for future counter offensives. There definitely are others inside the ANC who secretly side with Mbeki and who will remain there. Lekota and Shilowa have left and they are the open opposition to the “Eastern Communists”. But Mbeki and others have not given up on unity (with them being dominant of course), and they want change inside the ANC, and they may be playing a game that is aimed at getting either back into the ANC or later turning even more people from the ANC to the SANC (which are the “Western Communists”. Mbeki’s game is this a much more subtle one.
Mbeki’s denials of differences are just part of the game of sneaking in and trying to be friendly to Zuma and his Eastern Communists. But really it is just a case of moving closer so as to be able to stab your opponent more deftly. Mbeki’s letter and approach is a carefully planned public relations exercise.
Mbeki’s strange neutrality suggests to me that Mbeki is going to pretend to be “just another citizen” but in fact, he is playing deep political games and he is trying to seriously influence the politics. Mbeki has always been a schemer. His entire mindset is conditioned to that, and here he is playing politics all the way for a longer term game. He will now be scheming more than ever before.
The differences between Eastern and Western communists are, at this time, irreconcilable. Zuma wants total victory on his terms. He aims to destroy the SANC by force – you will soon see real killing of blacks by blacks. But Mbeki is going to try to use political deceit and infiltration as his means of attacking and wearing down the ANC. His game will be a more subtle one.
I believe that the Eastern Communists have the better strategy and the edge – for now.
