What's the issue

What's the issue

Well finally we heard from Mmusi Maimane on the #FeesMustFall campaign and it was weak. Granted he probably needs to be conservative but if I were Number 1 I would deploy the army and sort out the criminal activity and I would have done it from the moment the first car was torched.

Now I m no economist and I believe that there should be free education up to tertiary level for every citizen, however we are struggling with a very small base of taxed citizens and a huge base of corruption, cronyism, nepotism, maladministration, and a whole host of financial wastage that makes free tertiary education impossible for us as a nation right now. Put paid to the nuclear power generating project and then maybe we would be able to afford it.

Protest by all means but burning and looting and physical violence and interfering with other people s education, not on, sorry. I sympathise with the plight but there is a moral line that has been crossed and it should not be tolerated in the slightest. It s like a war zone.

Speaking of a war zone, I am perplexed by the American attitude to the Syrian war. The Pentagon and the White House seem to be working against each other with the obvious attempt by the Pentagon to derail the peace process and the cease-fire when they bombed Syrian army positions (on purpose in my opinion) and then again hitting the Aid convoy, which in my opinion was them as well.

So opinions are like backsides, everybody has one and mine may be completely wrong, however this quote by Dr. Chossudovsky seems to support my opinion.

We are dealing with a criminal undertaking at a global level . . . and there is an on-going war, it is led by the United States, it may be carried out by a number of proxy countries, which are obeying orders from Washington.

The global war on terrorism is a US undertaking, which is fake, it s based on fake premises. It tells us that somehow America and the Western world are going after a fictitious enemy, the Islamic state, when in fact the Islamic state is fully supported and financed by the Western military alliance and America s allies in the Persian Gulf. . . . They say Muslims are terrorists, but it just so happens that terrorists are Made in America. They re not the product of Muslim society, and that should be abundantly clear to everyone on this floor. . .

The global war on terrorism is a fabrication, a big lie and a crime against humanity. Dr. Michel Chossudovsky is the Canadian Economist & Ottawa's Professor of Economics and he seems to have seen through all the propaganda and smoke screens of the Pentagon. Read and hear more on this at this web address, https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/sociopol_russia54.htm

So it seems that there is a split in the American war initiative where one side wants the war and the other is trying to avoid it. I fear that if Hilarious Hilary gets in as President then that will change and if Terrifying Trump Gets in we might have a chance of stopping that war. But that s just my opinion. What s yours
