What is the issue

What is the issue

Which way to turn? My head is spinning so fast from the recent reprieve our poor deprived currency was granted by Standards & poor and Moody's and the Big Bad Bankers and their lot.

What a close call that was, but now we must face the challenge as our next hurdle is in December, I think.

Till then it will be great if we can just make it to work. The protestors are really working up a head of steam and with the media gagged over the incidents of violent protest it seems that the protestors are just upping their arson in an attempt to be heard.

With the wild and ferocious battle for political power raging at the same time as the protests, a political killing spree seems hell bent on leaving no God fearing citizen willing to stand up and fill the shoes of the fallen. Tshwane, Hammanskraal, Stutterheim, Cathcart, Mpumalangs, Greytown, coming to a city near you. It is a real eye opener. What is going on?

Jonathan Jansen spoke at the Literary Festival in Franschoek alluding to a looming disaster in our Universities. The clever people are leaving and there will be nobody left to help make the not so clever people cleverer, so we can run this country properly. That was run this country not ruin this country, okay.

Then to make it worse there is an outcry about some rather questionable way in which repossessed houses are being sold for less that 10 per cent of their market worth. This is being allowed to happen through a loophole in our laws that allow a repossessed home to be sold to the highest bidder at an auction, without a reserve price, so any price you like, even R1.

Anyway as the election draws nearer the antics start to become stranger and stranger, and I'm not talking about defacing election posters. Anyway Edward Snowden has released some information about how Google is involved in Hilary's campaign, "Google is directly engaged with Hillary Clinton's campaign," Julian is quoted as having said, adding "Of course when she is in power She is a problem for freedom of speech," Assange said. "We know what she is going to do. And she made the chart for the destruction of Libya, she was involved in the process of taking the Libyan armory and sending it to Syria." The allegations continued in Julian's video link, "Google is heavily integrated with Washington power, at personal level and at business level Google, which has increasing control over the distribution channels, is intensely allying itself with the US exceptionalism,"

More worrying is the sabre rattling of NATO going at Russia again, accusing Russia of planning to invade Poland. Aleksandr Grushko, the Russian envoy to NATO dismissed the issue as "shockingly blatant" and he has been quoted as saying "During the NATO secretary general's recent visit to Poland, officials in this country [Poland] made statements suggesting that from now on Russia would know that any attack on Poland would mean an attack on NATO as a whole. This is completely absurd because they are discussing a non-existent problem. There are no plans for any attacks on Poland," He also added "Their policies dwell in surreal reality and the most dangerous thing is that now they start to implement these policies in the form of military planning and preparations on the territories adjacent to our borders."
