Kobojunkie:
^^^ One of the saddest excuse for a response I have ever read.

So according to you, the same banking system majority of the world has had in place for near centuries(only now enhanced in most places with electronic systems)is to be blamed for corruption? WOW!!!

Have you been paying attention to the total meltdown of Central Banking nations that produce fiat money out of thin air? Because nations have electronic systems doesn't mean that they are on firm financial footing. Those countries gained their past wealth by looting the resources of other lands throughout the world.

Iceland just got rid of their Rothschild central banking system and their country is becoming economically  healthy as we type. Many Latin American countries have retired the debt systems and they also are enjoying magnificent harvest/s, with Brazil being the role model template.

Just look at the examples of Greece, Italy, and those to follow and common logic will tell you that the old system needs a new paradigm going forward. Bonds and debt are not the answer unless you want to continue being an economic slave to an powerful criminal banking power headquartered in the City of London.

" Today, only one out of five Nigerian adults has a bank account. Only 15 per cent of women have bank accounts. The North-west and North-east zones are the least banked, and not surprisingly the poorest in the country. Nearly 70 per cent of currency in circulation is outside the banking system. Banks lend more to the government than the small, medium and large business that truly create jobs. Nigeria is an intensely cash-upfront economy, with virtually no loans available to buy homes, cars and other durables."

I find what this guy wrote insulting and ignorant.  Using words like “fooled” and “duped” when talking about President Zuma is almost amusing.  He is a good strategist and how someone can think that he can be fooled into signing this bill is beyond me.  I don’t agree with the secrecy bill, but to say the President has been “duped” is ridiculous.  I would be LOL if it weren't such a serious matter.

[/quote]I think the site is anti-feminist, not anti-women. Many of the themes are related to how certain powers that be have geared modern society to put women in the workplace instead of doing traditional roles of staying home and home making and raising kids. Wouldn't you prefer that role instead of putting in 20 hour work days?

Another question, how many wives and concubine does President Zuma have?

White Luciferians Still Run South Africa

http://www.henrymakow.com/luciferian_whites_still_hold_p.html

by Roger Bell

" A Freedom of Information Bill (read Secrecy Bill) is therefore being voted on today in our parliament and is being pushed through by the ANC majority, likely at [President] Zuma's instruction. He has been fooled by the Luciferians into believing the ANC needs the bill to protect the country against foreign spies / security threats. I suspect they have also told him he needs it to give him a second four-year term in office.

Garbage. Other than CIA / Zionism, we have no natural enemies. The re-colonization of Africa by the Zionist / Mossad / CIA / USA is underway and going strongly. Now that Zuma has been duped and has bought into the Secrecy bill, Kasrils plays the shill again and decries said bill, a watered down version of one he himself originally introduced! The Luciferian chutzpah astounds me."

South Africa: Lawmakers Adopt Secrets Bill


JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The governing African National Congress pushed a bill through South Africa's parliament Tuesday to protect state secrets, despite strong objections from opposition politicians who included white conservatives and black nationalists who were enemies under apartheid.

Opponents, who include church and business leaders and Nobel laureates, say the measure will keep government corruption under wraps, stifle whistle-blowing and undermine the hard-won democracy created with apartheid's end 17 years ago. The ANC says South Africa needed to update apartheid-era legislation defining secrets and setting out punishments for divulging them, and that it has no intention of trampling on free expression and a muckraking media.

Opponents had expected parliament, where the ANC has a large majority, to approve the bill. They were already preparing to challenge the measure at the Constitutional Court if it becomes law.

Tuesday's 229-107 vote, during a lively session that saw ANC and opposition politicians trading barbs, came after months of fierce debate. The bill's critics included two Nobel prizewinners: retired Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a peace laureate, and literature laureate Nadine Gordimer.

The office of Nelson Mandela, South Africa's first post-apartheid president and also a Nobel peace laureate, also has expressed reservations about the bill.

Parliament's upper house could ask for revisions, but that rarely happens. President Jacob Zuma will have to sign the bill to make it law, and while his legal advisers may ask for revisions, he was expected to approve the measure.

Critics donned black and staged protests at the ANC's downtown Johannesburg headquarters during morning rush hour Tuesday, and in the afternoon outside parliament in Cape Town as lawmakers voted, saying the bill's weaknesses include its lack of a provision allowing those who break the law to avoid going to jail if they could argue they acted in the public interest.

Activists fear the adoption of the measure in a country known for one of the continent's freest and most open constitutions could influence other governments in the region.

Mukelani Dimba, a South African democracy activist who has lobbied against the bill, said post-apartheid lawmakers were initially eager to differentiate themselves from white racist politicians, adopting not only the constitution but a range of liberal laws. But over the years, he said, progressive ideals have waned.

"We have a ruling power that wants to retain power, and we have to admit that information is power," Dimba said, adding politicians may also resent constant newspaper articles about their wrongdoing.

If implemented, the bill "will unacceptably curtail both the right to access information and freedom of expression, which are the foundation of a democratic society," said Daniel Bekele, Africa director at Human Rights Watch. "The manner in which the government pushed this bill through parliament, instead of proceeding with consultations as promised, as well as the secrecy embedded in this legislation, send very worrying signs about the government's commitment to transparency."

In a statement late Monday, Tutu said it is "insulting to all South Africans to be asked to stomach legislation that could be used to outlaw whistle-blowing and investigative journalism , and that makes the state answerable only to the state."

Tutu won a Nobel Peace Prize for his nonviolent opposition to white rule. In more recent years, he has been a sharp critic of ANC moves he sees as undermining rule of law and weakening South Africa's fledgling democracy.

Prominent ANC members also have opposed the bill, among them a former state security minister.

The ANC bill says "information that is accessible to all is the basis of a transparent, open and democratic society," but says secrecy is sometimes necessary to "save lives, to enhance and to protect the freedom and security of persons, to bring criminals to justice, to protect the national security and to engage in effective government and diplomacy."

While the bill makes it a crime to divulge state secrets, it also makes it a crime for an official to withhold information to conceal wrongdoing or incompetence, or merely to avoid embarrassment.

In June, the ANC backed down on some of its original proposals, removing mandatory prison sentences for possessing and publishing secrets — though reporters and others could still be jailed for publishing information that officials want kept secret. The ANC also agreed to limit the power to classify secrets to state security agencies, and proposed that an independent official review appeals of state security rulings on classified information.

At times, the rhetoric about the bill appears to have less to do with its merits than with a distrust of government on one side after a series of corruption scandals involving high-ranking officials, including the national police chief; and complaints from politicians of witch hunts by a biased media.

In a speech to parliament last week, State Security Minister Siyabonga Cwele even raised the possibility that demonstrators who have held peaceful marches to rally opposition to the bill were somehow being used by South Africa's enemies.

The secrets bill is separate from another ANC proposal that has raised concerns — the possible creation of a tribunal that could discipline journalists, with powers to punish that have not yet been spelled out.

Relations between the ANC and the media long have been tense. Last week one of the country's most prominent newspapers, the Mail & Guardian, said it had been unable to publish details about corruption allegations against Mac Maharaj, who was imprisoned on Robben Island alongside Mandela for his anti-apartheid activities and who recently took on the job of presidential spokesman, because of threats of criminal prosecution. Maharaj later announced he was asking police to investigate whether the paper and its journalists had broken the law in their reporting.

Immigrant networks are a rare bright spark in the world economy. Rich countries should welcome them

https://media.economist.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/full-width/images/print-edition/20111119_LDD001_0.jpg

THIS is not a good time to be foreign. Anti-immigrant parties are gaining ground in Europe. Britain has been fretting this week over lapses in its border controls (see article). In America Barack Obama has failed to deliver the immigration reform he promised (see article), and Republican presidential candidates would rather electrify the border fence with Mexico than educate the children of illegal aliens. America educates foreign scientists in its universities and then expels them, a policy the mayor of New York calls “national suicide”.

This illiberal turn in attitudes to migration is no surprise. It is the result of cyclical economic gloom combined with a secular rise in pressure on rich countries’ borders. But governments now weighing up whether or not to try to slam the door should consider another factor: the growing economic importance of diasporas, and the contribution they can make to a country’s economic growth.

Old networks, new communications

Diaspora networks—of Huguenots, Scots, Jews and many others—have always been a potent economic force, but the cheapness and ease of modern travel has made them larger and more numerous than ever before. There are now 215m first-generation migrants around the world: that’s 3% of the world’s population. If they were a nation, it would be a little larger than Brazil. There are more Chinese people living outside China than there are French people in France. Some 22m Indians are scattered all over the globe. Small concentrations of ethnic and linguistic groups have always been found in surprising places—Lebanese in west Africa, Japanese in Brazil and Welsh in Patagonia, for instance—but they have been joined by newer ones, such as west Africans in southern China.

These networks of kinship and language make it easier to do business across borders (see article). They speed the flow of information: a Chinese trader in Indonesia who spots a gap in the market for cheap umbrellas will alert his cousin in Shenzhen who knows someone who runs an umbrella factory. Kinship ties foster trust, so they can seal the deal and get the umbrellas to Jakarta before the rainy season ends. Trust matters, especially in emerging markets where the rule of law is weak. So does a knowledge of the local culture. That is why so much foreign direct investment in China still passes through the Chinese diaspora. And modern communications make these networks an even more powerful tool of business.

Diasporas also help spread ideas. Many of the emerging world’s brightest minds are educated at Western universities. An increasing number go home, taking with them both knowledge and contacts. Indian computer scientists in Bangalore bounce ideas constantly off their Indian friends in Silicon Valley. China’s technology industry is dominated by “sea turtles” (Chinese who have lived abroad and returned).

Diasporas spread money, too. Migrants into rich countries not only send cash to their families; they also help companies in their host country operate in their home country. A Harvard Business School study shows that American companies that employ lots of ethnic Chinese people find it much easier to set up in China without a joint venture with a local firm.

Such arguments are unlikely to make much headway against hostility towards immigrants in rich countries. Fury against foreigners is usually based on two (mutually incompatible) notions: that because so many migrants claim welfare they are a drain on the public purse; and that because they are prepared to work harder for less pay they will depress the wages of those at the bottom of the pile.

The first is usually not true (in Britain, for instance, immigrants claim benefits less than indigenous people do), and the second is hard to establish either way. Some studies do indeed suggest that competition from unskilled immigrants depresses the wages of unskilled locals. But others find this effect to be small or non-existent.

Nor is it possible to establish the impact of migration on overall growth. The sums are simply too difficult. Yet there are good reasons for believing that it is likely to be positive. Migrants tend to be hard-working and innovative. That spurs productivity and company formation. A recent study carried out by Duke University showed that, while immigrants make up an eighth of America’s population, they founded a quarter of the country’s technology and engineering firms. And, by linking the West with emerging markets, diasporas help rich countries to plug into fast-growing economies.

Rich countries are thus likely to benefit from looser immigration policy; and fears that poor countries will suffer as a result of a “brain drain” are overblown. The prospect of working abroad spurs more people to acquire valuable skills, and not all subsequently emigrate. Skilled migrants send money home, and they often return to set up new businesses. One study found that unless they lose more than 20% of their university graduates, the brain drain makes poor countries richer.

Indian takeaways

Government as well as business gains from the spread of ideas through diasporas. Foreign-educated Indians, including the prime minister, Manmohan Singh (Oxford and Cambridge) and his sidekick Montek Ahluwalia (Oxford), played a big role in bringing economic reform to India in the early 1990s. Some 500,000 Chinese people have studied abroad and returned, mostly in the past decade; they dominate the think-tanks that advise the government, and are moving up the ranks of the Communist Party. Cheng Li of the Brookings Institution, an American think-tank, predicts that they will be 15-17% of its Central Committee next year, up from 6% in 2002. Few sea turtles call openly for democracy. But they have seen how it works in practice, and they know that many countries that practise it are richer, cleaner and more stable than China.

As for the old world, its desire to close its borders is understandable but dangerous. Migration brings youth to ageing countries, and allows ideas to circulate in millions of mobile minds. That is good both for those who arrive with suitcases and dreams and for those who should welcome them.

Census figures show the white population in South Africa is at 4.5 million, the highest level since 1991 (AFP/File, Mujahid Safodien)



With weak economy abroad, white S. Africans head home

By Thomas Donzel (AFP) – 1 day ago

JOHANNESBURG — After 10 years in London, the Short family packed their bags and moved back to South Africa, part of what experts say is a growing trend of white expatriates returning home.

"London was very good to us but it was never home," said Julie Short, who met her husband Wallis in the British capital, where their two young daughters were born.

The couple were among the estimated 800,000 white South Africans who moved overseas, mainly to Britain, Australia and New Zealand, between 1991 and 2001, according to census data.

The exodus amounted to about 15 percent of South Africa's white population. Some fled fearing the often gratuitously violent crime that erupted across the nation during the mid-1990s. Nearly 27,000 people were killed in 1995, the year after Nelson Mandela became president.

Others feared that in the new post-apartheid South Africa, they could be passed over for jobs or business opportunities as the government embarked on a programme of black economic empowerment.

But now the exodus appears to be slowing -- and even reversing.
Census figures show the white population is at 4.5 million, the highest level since 1991.

The exact numbers of South Africans abroad are hard to determine, partly because many whites living overseas hold dual citizenship and are not counted as immigrants in their new countries.
But experts say many are now returning, especially as the economies of the rich world have stumbled.

"We know Europe is in trouble, the United States economy is weak as well," said John Loos, an economist at First National Bank.

"So a large part of the global economy to where people often emigrate from South Africa is not performing well, jobs prospects are not good, and I think that that too is slowing the emigration rate."
In contrast, South Africa's economy has grown steadily since the first all-race elections in 1994.

The country suffered a recession in 2009 that lasted only nine months and proved much softer than in the rest of the world.
While unemployment is mired around 25 percent, skilled professionals like doctors, nurses and engineers are in high demand.

The Labour Department estimated in 2008 that South Africa needed 913,000 such professionals with "scarce skills" to fill current job openings.
That's the target market for Homecoming Revolution, a web site that aims to help South Africans abroad make the transition back home.
"Our aim is to focus on the scarce skills in South Africa -- doctors and nurses, accountants, IT professionals -- all the industries where we really need the expertise, we need leadership and we need strong international skills to come home and create jobs and help grow the economy," said Brigitte Britten-Kelly, who runs the project.

That was the case for Wallis Short, a computer engineer who quickly found a job at a local company.

He said that for skilled professionals, opportunities abound, despite fears among some whites that South Africa's affirmative action programme, known as Black Economic Empowerment, will hurt their job prospects.
"I was really pretty confident that I would get a job even though there was BEE," he said. "The thing is with a technical side, you cannot fill those positions with BEE candidates if they do not have the experience."
South Africa still has a staggering crime rate, especially around Johannesburg. But violent crime has steadily declined -- about 16,000 people were killed last year, though the violence is now concentrated in impoverished shantytowns that are difficult to police.


In wealthier neighbourhoods, real estate agents say fewer and fewer people are selling their homes to emigrate.

The Short family is renovating a house in Johannesburg with a sprawling garden and pool, a far cry from the 75 square metres (800 square feet) they shared in London -- not to mention the nearly year-round sunshine.
"It was never the same quality of life that you will be able to have here," said Julie Short. "We love being home, it's great."
