Radical Honesty SA Open Letter to Shrien Dewani and Anni Hindocha’s friends and family: Shrien Dewani has zero% chance of fair trial in South Africa.

Response to Open Letter to Shrien Dewani, from anonymous friends of Annie Dewani / Hindocha, published on 31/12/2010 in The Sun: Anni’s Pals: We want some answers, Shrien.

31 December 2010

Dear Anni’s Anonymous Friends,

My response to you addresses the following statements in your letter to Mr. Dewani. I would suggest that if you follow my recommendations, you are far more likely to provide Mr. Dewani with a free and fair trial, where you can find the honest answers to your questions:

We would ask you and your family to leave this case to the police and courts, rather than joining a media battle with your PR agents.

You state you're innocent of these allegations so please go back to Cape Town to prove to the South African police why they've got it wrong.

We have heard South African police give Tongo's version of events but we have yet to hear you publicly make clear your full explanation as to why he's lying.

We would like you to volunteer to go before a South African court and show how Tongo is lying. We believe that this would help the public understand the following questions:

* Why don't you voluntarily go to court and show South African police suspicions are wrong?

What we want is the truth to come out and justice to be served, which is possible only if you answer in front of South African Court of Justice.

If Anni had been murdered in any other country in the world, I might indeed agree with you that Mr. Dewani should return to South Africa to stand trial, where you would hear the truth. But Anni was murdered in South Africa, where our police and courts are that only in name, and where our government has been bullshitting the South African public and world with the most spectacular public relations TRC FRAUD publicity stunt.

The truth is that Shrien Dewani -- just like any and every other South African citizen -- stands 0% chance of a free and fair trial in South Africa. Unfortunately citizens voting for the ANC don’t seem to be bothered with free and fair trials, perhaps because they benefit from a corrupt police and courts justice system.

Similarly Anni’s friends and family stand 0% chance of ever hearing the truth about what happened to Anni, from any trial occurring in South Africa.

If Anni’s friends and family were remotely sincere about wanting a free and fair trial for Shrien Dewani, and hearing the truth in any trial wherein he is accused; I would suggest that you ask the South African government to proceed with the matter as a private prosecution in England, where Mr. Dewani can be tried before a British judge and jury.

If you can’t be bothered with whether Mr. Dewani gets a free and fair trial, and you similarly can’t be bothered whether you hear the truth about what happened to Anni, then I would suggest you continue to believe the bullshit emanating from officials in the South African Government; whose lack of integrity and true nature was probably most accurately described by Paul Trewhela in the democratic socialist publication, Searchlight South Africa, as “the most successful Popular Front Lobby for Stalinism anywhere in the world.”

The only thing Shrien Dewani will get, and Anni’s family and friends will get from any trial in South Africa is a Stalinist show trial of lies and bullshit, as thousands of SA citizens get every single day, by policemen who can’t read, prosecutors who don’t know what forensic psychologists are for, magistrates who don’t know what passports are for, judges who are pornography addicts, court documents that are bought and sold, deleted and falsely manufactured, and magistrates and judges who ignore the corruption in their courts, etc. etc.

Questions for Anni’s friends and family:

1. Are you aware of the reality that the South African government have been accused of Truth and Reconciliation (TRC) Fraud in the SA Constitutional Court; by the most honest politician on the planet: Dr. Brad Blanton, founder of Radical Honesty?
   
   
2. Put differently, the most honest man on planet earth -- author of the Radical Honesty series of books, founder of the Radical Honesty community, former candidate for Congress in Virginia in 2004 and 2006, etc -- has accused the South African government of persecuting its own citizens, of practicing legal and political persecution and prosecution, and of deceiving its own citizens by means of the most spectacular TRC FRAUD PR PUBLICITY STUNT. These allegations are supported by an Affidavit from Dr. Blanton, in legal documents before the highest court in South Africa – the Constitutional Court -- and nobody knows about it!!
   
   
3. Why not? Why are these very serious allegations against the South African government being censored from the world, by the South African Government and media?
   
   
4. Are you aware of the reality that the South African government and its International Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) supporters (many of whom reside in your Swedish and other EU governments) have been officially accused of TRC fraud, in documentation – Boer Volkstaat 10/31/16 Theses -- that was submitted to over 160 European Union and International Officials, including Prime Minister David Cameron and the NATO: Military Committee Chiefs of Defence; c/o NATO Secretary General: Mr. Rasmussen?
   
   
5. Are you aware that ANC officials (i.e. the party who now runs our government and police), endorsed the murder, assassination, persecution, torture and rape of their own ANC dissenting members, at places like Camp Quatro? Are you aware that the International Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM), many of whom are in your Swedish and European governments, and Nelson Mandela covered up these assassination, mass-murder, executions, assassinations, torture and gang-rape atrocities committed by the ANC’s Military Police (Mbokodo), and had little objections to Camp Quatro whistleblowers who were assassinated?
   
   
6. Are you aware that not one South African official has contradicted any of the TRC FRAUD evidence submitted to the SA Constitutional Court, or to the European and International Officials? In fact a few days after the Concourt documentation was delivered to Archbishop Tutu’s offices he abruptly announced his resignation and retirement.
   
   
7. Why have you not been informed of this information by the SA Government and media or the Swedish media?
   
   
8. What kind of friends let their friend go to a warzone -- with a higher body count of dead, tortured and murdered than Iraq -- for her honeymoon?

A few South Africa’s Police and Courts Stats:

1. South Africa’s police and courts are the largest and most corrupt gang in South Africa. Why don’t you think there was any crime during the World Cup? The Police were all working double shifts, and did not have time to run their gang-warfare, hijacking, murder, robbery and rape crime syndicates!
   
2. Murders in Police Custody have risen by 25,735% (25 thousand) in Rainbow Hypocrisy on Steroids SA!
   
3. Farm Murders thanks to incompetent, corrupt and murderous police have risen 3,095% (3 thousand) in Rainbow Hypocrisy on Steroids SA!
   
4. 70% of law graduates are unable to read; 70% of black matric students are functionally illiterate; what kind of justice system is run by illiterate lawyers????

The following SA Police and Court’s reports are from the Boer Volkstaat for African White Refugees 10/31/16 Theses Briefing Paper: [C] Rainbow Illusions: Truth and Reconciliation Fraud: [8] Zimbabwefication of South Africa: State’s Strategic Collapse, submitted to 160 EU and International Officials, available at www.african-white-refugees.co.nr.
