It's a clown show,I tell you

It's a clown show,I tell you

Cayos and pandemonium reign supreme as the tail wags the dog here in good ols SA.

As many morn and some revel in the passing of a real stalwart, Winnie Mandela, we should all avoid being dragged into divisive politics like the spew we're getting from Julius, and be the best Rainbow Nation South African's we can be. Despite the hate speech and racist slurring us-and-them mentality that seems to be the flavour of only a few of us. Switch off your news and close your Facebook page and talk to your neighbour and fellow countrymen and you will see that we are not as critically divided as some would have us believe, mainly for their political gain.

That being said there were some very high tolls being extracted from commuters through the Mooi Plaza this past weekend. The lawlessness seemed to have to threaten the very existence of our state before any real action became evident. Free stuff, everybody loves free stuff, just sometimes it's not free and then you can't call it free stuff, you have to call it stolen goods.

And on the sporting front, the murder and genocide of white farmers still gets less media attention than our national cricket side. Some people will have us believe that it really isn't even happening, just a few posts on Facebook is all it is, nothing to get upset about. It is absurd I tell you.

The joke that is Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality and the racists attempts to remove their mayor because of his race proved the inefficacy of the motion when the council descended into chaos and the meeting had to be cancelled. It sounds like it was a clown show.

On the issue of clowns, Donald Dump got a retaliatory slap from China when they initiated their trade tariffs on 127 US products. Another little show of communication from China was a Chinese delegation that was sent from Beijing to support Russia at the 7th Moscow Conference on International Security and send a clear message to the world that China supports Russia militarily.

Then there is the little jump in Gold prices, heading for the fourteen hundred dollar mark, as the petro Yuan gains momentum and Russia firmly secures the supply of oil to China. I'm not sure but it looks as if the America for Americans campaign is paying dividends in China and Russia. The build-up of NATO forces on Russia's borders has already "crossed the red line" according to quotes from Aleksandr Grushko, the Russian envoy to NATO. Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe said "The Chinese side came to let the Americans know about the close ties between the Russian and Chinese armed forces," Both Russia and Chine have just re-elected their leaders.

Good news of the South Korean musical artists performing in North Korea, maybe those tensions will altogether dry up as the US loses its appetite for military conflict in the region.

Also Donald baby announced that he wants out of Syria, he might be the only person in his administration that knows that. Oh and we had better support Julian Assange if we want to keep finding out the truth about our oppressors, I mean our leaders, I mean er um.
