The Killing Fields: Farm Attacks in South Africa: “A roadside memorial made by farmers, near Machado, Limpopo.” -- [Caroline Suzman: Gallery] [The Secret Race War you won't read about in any World Cup brochure]

A Canadian living in South Africa has been murdered in his home. But homicide is so common there, says his son, that he holds out no hope the crime will ever be solved.

Ron Smith, 70, who grew up in Ottawa, was found tied to a chair at his house near Bela Bela, 170 kilometres north of Johannesburg, on Monday. He’d been shot in the leg and was left to bleed to death, said his son, Jonathan Smith.

“Your life is not worth more than a cellphone,” he said. “And that’s exactly what they took from my father. They took a cellphone and a laptop.”

South Africa has one of the world’s highest homicide rates, with 37 murders per 100,000 people each year — nearly 20 times the rate in Canada. More than 18,000 people are murdered there every year.

Blacks and Whites Differ in Brain Size and Intelligence

by James Buchanan, White Civil Rights
March 07, 2010

Scientists have known for a long, long time that Blacks have smaller brains on average. If you can find a 1959 Encyclopedia Britannica, the section on races will mention that Whites have a larger average brain size than Blacks. The liberals and Jews apparently got this important racial information scrubbed out of most books published after 1959. About every ten years since 1960, some brave White academic will publish a book talking about these significant differences. Just off hand I remember the authors, Carleton Coon, Murray and Herrnstein and Arthur Jensen. The “Bell Curve” is perhaps the most famous of these racial reality books.

The latest data from J. Philippe Rushton states that Blacks have brains that are 80cc smaller on average. This data may be based on African-American Blacks, who tend to have about 25% White genes mixed in with IQs around 85. Their primitive all-Black cousins in west Africa have IQs down around 70 (with even smaller brains).

One source notes “The black-white gap is 15 points when measured on the Wechsler tests, 18 on the Stanford-Binet. Both tests are, of course, normed so as to produce an average of 100, but the white average is a bit higher. On the Wechsler metric, whites and blacks average 102 and 87, respectively. On both tests, the gap between the races is almost exactly 1 SD (standard deviation). The gap of 1 SD has been observed since the earliest days of intelligence testing.”

Nine Assumptions of Schooling & Twenty-one Facts the Institution Would Rather Not Discuss ...

Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling; By John Taylor Gatto [*Amazon**Kalahari*]

I'll start off bluntly by giving you some data I'd be shocked if you already know. A few simple facts, all verifiable, which by their existence call into question the whole shaky edifice of American government compulsion schooling from kindergarten through college and its questionable connection with the job market.

The implications of this data are quite radical so I'm going to take pains to ground it in the most conservative society on earth, the mountain world of Switzerland. You all remember Switzerland: that's where people put their money when they really want it to be really safe.

The Swiss just like us believe that education is the key to their national success, but that's where our similarity ends. In 1990 about 60% of American secondary school graduates enrolled in college, but only 22% did in Switzerland; in America almost l00% of our kids go to high school or private equivalents, but only a little over a fifth of the Swiss kids do. And yet the Swiss per capita income is the highest of any nation in the world and the Swiss keep insisting that virtually everyone in their country is highly educated!

70% of Law graduates ‘barely able to read’; 70% Black matrics ‘functionally illiterate’

Some of South Africa's law graduates have been so badly educated that they can barely count, operate a computer, or read and write in English.

That's what some experts said in support of an investigation by the Council on Higher Education on the effectiveness of the Bachelor of Law degree which, they say, does not prepare students for the profession's demands.

The four-year LLB degree previously took five years to complete, but 12 years ago the Department of Justice reduced it to four years to accommodate previously disadvantaged matrics, allowing them to complete the course and save a year's tuition fees.

Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling; By John Taylor Gatto [*Amazon**Kalahari*]

Nic Swart from the Law Society of South Africa said the situation was "a great concern".

"There are certainly graduates who come out prepared for practice, but the greatest concern is that many have extreme difficulty in writing properly. One of our tasks is to teach students to draft legal documents, but we find that they struggle to do that in English," he said.

"We were also commissioned by the University of Cape Town to do research with their students, and we found that 70% of them couldn't calculate even simple tasks. They emerged without the ability to research legal documents or use a computer and the Internet."

America, Europe & Australia Debate: Can Castration Be a Solution for Sex Offenders?

Man Who Mutilated Himself in Jail Thinks So, but Debate on Its Effectiveness Continues in Va., Elsewhere

By Candace Rondeaux, Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, July 5, 2006; Page B01

James Jenkins wanted to end it. No more fantasies. No more molesting little girls. He knew he was the only one who could stop it; he was just waiting for the right time.

The right moment arrived one night nearly three years ago when he was alone in an Accomack County, Va., jail cell. He had spent five years in a Virginia prison for sexually molesting three young girls and another 2 1/2 years for violating his parole. The next morning, a prosecutor was going to ask a judge to commit him to a state facility for high-risk sex offenders. Jenkins could think of only one way out.

He asked a jail guard for a razor. He told the guard he wanted to look nice and cleanshaven for his court hearing the next day. The guard hesitated but handed Jenkins the blade. Jenkins walked to the shower in his cell. He bit the blade out of its plastic casing and stuffed an apple in his mouth to muffle his screams. Then he castrated himself and flushed his testicles down the jail cell toilet.

Jenkins, 63, doesn't flinch when he talks about it now. "Castration has done precisely what I wanted it to do," he said. "I have not had any sexual urges or desires in over two years. My mind is finally free of the deviant sexual fantasies I used to have about young girls."

He spoke with the clinical cool of a surgeon as he tried to explain his pedophilia during a rare interview in a guarded room of the Virginia Center for Behavioral Rehabilitation, the sex offender treatment center where Jenkins was sent. The Petersburg facility is part of a new way the state is trying to keep sex offenders off the streets: Identify the most dangerous before they are released from prison and ask a judge in civil court to commit them to a treatment facility even after they have completed their sentences.

Jenkins readily admits that the prospect of being confined indefinitely partly prompted his drastic action three years ago. But he also insists he did it to prevent himself from victimizing another child.

"I'm all for castration for certain sex offenders," he said. "I think it would do a lot to prevent recidivism and the amount of money we have to spend on treatment centers like the one I'm in."

The issue is less clear to lawmakers and the public.

High-profile pedophilia cases prompted a nationwide crackdown last year. And as such shows as NBC Dateline's "To Catch a Predator" illustrate how big the problem is, public outrage has caused lawmakers in Virginia and other states to try to make castration part of the solution for high-risk sex offenders.

Jacob Zuma is a sex-obsessed bigot with four wives and 35 children. So why is Britain fawning over this vile buffoon?

Buffoon: Jacob Zuma with one of his four wives

Spare a thought for the Buckingham Palace protocol officials tomorrow when His Excellency President Jacob Zuma arrives in London for his first state visit to these shores.

For this incoming 'One hundred per cent Zulu Boy', as the South African President styles himself when he has an election to win, presents unique challenges of planning for the courtiers.

The formal announcement of the state visit primly notes that the President will be accompanied during his three-day stay at Buckingham Palace by 'his wife Mrs Thobeka Madiba Zuma'. This is not untrue - but nor is it quite the whole truth.

Because Thobeka is just one of Mr Zuma's four living wives, not including one from Mozambique who committed suicide in 2000. She is also one of the estimated ten women with whom the libidinous Zuma has sired the 20 children he acknowledges to be his own.

On top of that, Zuma has paid lobolo - a sort of tribal deposit on a future bride - to the families of at least two more potential wives.

On a recent visit to South Africa, I was told very confidently by a man who knows the inner workings of the government that Zuma's true tally is actually 35 children, including a set of twins with a woman from Ukraine.

One thing is clear. Jacob Zuma could not be more different from the man in whose long shadow he must walk - South Africa's great and first democratic leader, Nelson Mandela.

“Ghetto Life”: 3 gang-rape “white bitch”, for gang culture street-cred...

Judge jails 'ghetto life' rapists

Two of the three men who raped a pregnant woman due to their "ghetto life" received life sentences in the Grahamstown High Court on Monday.

Kevin Campbell, 24, and Elvis Nelson, 25, were both sentenced to life imprisonment for the rape, and another five years for the robbery of a 37-year-old woman on February 15, 2009, Captain Mali Govender said in a statement.

A third man, Clayton Donovan Arends, 18, was sentenced to 16 years in prison for rape and another five years for robbery.

All the sentences would run concurrently.

"The youngest of the trio apologised for what they had done to her, attributing their actions to the 'ghetto life' they led. He also mentioned to her that this was the only way that they could have gotten a 'white bitch'."

The woman was walking with a man in Port Alfred near the local SPCA when they were attacked by the three, one of whom was armed with a panga. The trio demanded drugs and money from the man.

"He was threatened by Elvis [Nelson] that he will be killed and that his arms will be cut off. Clayton Arends then first hit him with the blunt edge of the panga and after realising his mistake, he hit him with the sharp edge," said Govender.

Juju's R27 Million Rand Haitian Bridge Building Skills

Juju’s dodgy R27m bridges

AT LEAST three of several multi-million-rand bridges and roads built by Julius Malema’s company in ­Limpopo were washed away within weeks of their completion.

Now affected communities are ­demanding that authorities force SGL Engineering Projects to repair the shoddily built projects or take ­legal steps to recoup money spent on them.

City Press this week visited several projects developed by SGL – a ­company in which Malema holds majority shares – in Thengwe ­village, Mutale municipality in the Vhembe district; Tzaneen and ­Modjadjiskloof in the Mopani ­district as well as Lebowakgomo township at the Lepelle-Nkumpi municipality in the Capricorn district.

Apart from what appears to be poor workmanship in some cases, a section of locals employed to work on the projects complained that they were not paid for their services.

Other communities accused local politicians and municipal officials of having ignored repeated concerns raised about SGL’s sub-standard work.

ANC and municipal officials told City Press that some of the municipalities, including Greater Letaba municipality and Mopani district municipality, had paid SGL upfront ­before work was started on the projects. However, both municipalities denied paying SGL upfront.

Zuma – We deserve Him

Every new development in the Zuma saga serves to leave you more flabbergasted and incensed than the previous one.

On Wednesday he had the audacity to make the entire South Africa bear responsibility and accountability for his irresponsible bed hopping and the subsequent fruits of his lust. Not showing any remorse for his deeds, he lashed out at the media and organisations for informing the taxpayer that they have an extra mouth to feed and another concubine to maintain. In doing so he heaped the burden of his bastard child’s physical and mental well being on the Media and the citizens of this country, singling out those critical of his behaviour.

Instead of thinking about responsibility for not thinking about the family and child and their future well being, when he unleashed his “not so missing’ machine gun on a willing mistress or concubine, he disregarded the consequences of his actions and when the consequences dawned on him, he blamed the collective us.

After “reflecting” and realising, with the assistance of comrades wielding "recall" sticks, pointing out the error of his ways, that he did in fact cross the Zulu culture line, he “humbly” and expediently apologised.

One of the first people to accept his apology and extol his brave behaviour was none other than Helen Zille, a critic well known for her admiration of Zuma’s “warmth and presence. The reaction by Zille is not surprising, in the light of Zuma’s legendary ability to find woman willing to slovenly follow him and please him at the drop of a hat.

Once again millions will be suckered by a meaningless and expedient “humble apology”. Zuma will be forgiven until the next time, by when it will be even more acceptable to trade woman like Cattle.
