How different has that been to any time in South Africa from time memorial. The worst outcome would be the same as it always has been.

Going down the socialist route and trying to nationalize industries never works, except for the politicians who use X industry to line their pockets.

KingGBsky:
This is indeed very nice.
The United states and the united nations should stop investing in African as if they are thier puppets.
They will always seek for a way to belittle the African continent by seeking to help her grow meanwhile they are the reason its not growing.
Why has all the British and American oil firms in Nigeria not been able to create a refinery for our crude oil here in nigeria? Yet they prefer to make money here drilling the oil and sending it back to enrich their economy so that Africans will continue to see them as the almighty.
Nonsense

There are currently five (5) refineries in Nigeria; of which four (4) plants are owned by the Nigerian Government through the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), while the fifth is owned and operated by Niger Delta Petroleum Resources (NDPR). Apart from the single fully-fledged petrochemical plant, two of the refining plants, KRPC and WRPC, have petrochemical complexes that utilize their refinery intermediates to produce petrochemical precursors.

A necessary evil needed in a society that is on record to be the most unequal.

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/post-apartheid-south-africa-inequality-display-62870808

Capitalism has failed the South African state and the insistence that it's ideals alone will solve the woes of income disparities and upward social mobility for the poorest in that society is glaringly obvious at this stage in the countries democracy.

The so called opposition the DA continue to flaunt their success in the Western cape but if you visit that place and not just cape town but the entirety of the Western cape you will see for yourself that basically the party is a "white" controlled" "keep the status quo" party that is hell bent on protecting the ill gotten wealth of the "whites" in South Africa while slowing down the corrective measures that are need to bring equality to that province.

Malema's socialist ideas are needed in the overall discussion of how South Africa needs to move forward in addressing the economic problems that plague the country and though admittedly he does sometimes use strong rhetoric, the overall ideas of the EFF are not far fetched and by no means a replica of the socialist ideas of Venezuela which has a different history.

The EFF will continue to increase its block of votes because it caters to the underclass and frustrations of the lower class, something the ANC and the DA are ineffective in articulating.

It won't work. He would just enrich himself and his inner circle....protection money.

The guy in the car must have been the criminal then? The story is from 2015. The police chased down Swink outside of his car. So the video must be of the other guy who had 17 arrest warrants.



ST. ANN, MO (KTVI)-The St. Ann police chief is apologizing after an innocent man was injured and bloodied when he was mistakenly arrested Thursday afternoon. Joseph Swink, 22, is a college junior studying accounting. He was on his way home from an internship at Edward Jones when it all unfolded.

His grandmother, Marettree Sanders, says, "I'm angry. I'm upset. I didn't sleep last night.”

She didn't sleep because of what happened to her grandson. The family has a photo showing Joseph's bloodied face.

Swink said he feared for his life.

"I'm just glad that I'm still here.”

St. Ann police says it was a case of mistaken identity on I-70. St. Ann police were pursuing a suspect wanted for 17 warrants. The suspect's car crashed and went down into a ditch where he was arrested. The chief says Swink's car had been clipped by the suspect and also crashed.

When a second police car arrived, the three detectives inside only saw Swink's car and him running from it. Police assumed the worst.

St. Ann Police Chief Aaron Jimenez said, "Most of the time when you see that you know this is the bad guy. He's running. Unfortunately, he was a citizen."

Swink was totally innocent. It turns out he was running from his car because it was filling with smoke.

"This is all we ask of our young men, to do the right thing, become productive citizens in this country and he's not being given that opportunity because someone has mistaken him for a criminal and that upsets me very much,” said Sanders.

Chief Jimenez said, "I do apologize. As the police chief who runs this city, I do apologize to Mr. Swink that this has happened."

Swink's family thinks the color of his skin played a part in the incident.

Joseph Swink said, "There was nobody black on the scene, just a lot of white cops. I didn't feel safe around them. I think they probably felt they could get away with it because I was and they can do this."

The police chief responded, "This has zero to do about race."

He said the three detectives will not be disciplined because they were acting in good faith. Swink said he's still in pain and needs to return to the doctor. He is considering hiring a lawyer for a civil suit.

St. Louis County police are investigating the incident.

I saw a documentary on youtube about this. It seems more dangerous now as governments have dispatched police and soldiers, well south of the ports to stop illegal migration. There used to be towns along the way where people could register their name (so there was a record they made so far to here or there) but the various military units ended that. And since they look for the smugglers along known routes a smuggler will dump the people they are smuggling to escape.

TheShopKeeper:
...to some of our folks who don't understand the importance of having the IRS Tax returns of a political figure...let us educate ourselves:

from tax returns we learn:

• about the yearly income of the candidate
• how much the candidate paid in taxes and the tax rate
• what deductions and tax credits claimed
• real estate taxes and abatements
• current and future investments
• how much the candidate gave to charity (which could shed light on their values and priorities) - at least we know about the collapse of Trump Foundation...https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/dec/18/trump-foundation-shutdown-lawsuit
• to whom the candidate owes money
• who are the candidates in business with and the financial positions of those companies (whether they have had gains or losses)
• if there are offshore accounts and businesses

On the financial disclosure forms:

• any outside Income
• gifts - both local and foreign
• assets/property owned
• specific investments/trusts
• possible conflicts of interest
• certain transactions/agreements made with businesses and people
• positions held at different companies outside of the government
• liabilities

...requiring the disclosure of a president’s federal income tax return would make the public aware of any conflict of interest and encourage presidents to divest themselves of anything that may create a conflict....

...most Americans are deeply concerned about what information President Trump might be hiding in his tax returns... Americans should always have full confidence that the President is acting in their national interest -(but as we have seen lately, this is not the case)

...unfortunately Trump continues to undermine this confidence...as stated under the constitution he is expected to be accountable and ensure he adheres to the highest ethical standards at all times...

...Michael Cohen - his former attorney at his hearing in March, said Trump lied on bank loan documents... which is a crminal offence...hence reason why the importance of releasing the Tax returns and the sources of his income...

Trump issues voluntary financials disclosure statements. They are 100-200 pages long. You can get it online easily.

Horus:
Why?

He is a socialist loon. If he ever got the power he would nationalize any industry he could, steal as much money as he could and wreck the economy. He even studied down in Venezuela in 2012. Chavez/Maduro became billionaires on a government salary of 60K. LOL. He has called for the killing of Boers and even been convicted of it. Other criminal charges he has escaped those. He is just another pied piper making promises to his followers that he will never deliver. He is lucky enough to delivery 3 targets to his followers, people with money, whites/farmers, and other Africans who move to S. Africa.

Did you hear that the Racist Pig you worship lost over $1 billion from 1985 through 1994. The worst loss of any uber rich in America in that span and he used that loss to avoid paying taxes for the next ten years. Is that the reason the Dotard don't want to release his taxes like the other presidents do . He's a con man and a fake billionaire fooling third world gullibles like you and others here licking his rear.

While The Times did not obtain the president’s actual tax returns, it received the information contained in the returns from someone who had legal access to it. The Times was then able to find matching results in the I.R.S. information on top earners — a publicly available database that each year comprises a one-third sampling of those taxpayers, with identifying details removed.

Still you your President bitch. Edit, racist bitch.

Excaperx:
When a white supremacist atheist killed some terrorists Muslims the world fell and every hypocrites was feeling sorry for them and then all blamed it on Christians.

Sri Lanka was bombed and hundreds of good and peaceful Christians was killed and people completly ignored it.

I

It did some international attention. What does not get much attention is of Islamist terrorists kill people in Nigeria.

TWoods:
Don't buy a phone line from At&t, Verizon or Sprint

I would disagree with this. Verizon has about the best coverage in the US. Sprint can be quite spotty, though cheap. If you own directv, then you should definitely buy a phone line through AT&T. The lines are expensive for individuals but are worth the money for a family that burns through data. I find I can watch live TV through my phone without it counting against my data plan at all. win win for me.

I like the discount carriers better. Boost, Cricket, Free UP, Ting....there are so many of them and they run on the same networks as ATT, Verizon, Sprint etc. Depending on how much you use monthly (not connected to wifi) plans are $5.00 to $30.00 a month. No contract. And many will give you a free android for switching, no contract.

For TV buy an antenna for $15.00 and you get 50 plus free digital over the air channels, all of the locals, NBC, CBS, ABC. Then buy or get a free Fire Stick or Roku streaming device and you can load all kinds of free channels. And of course for almost free "home" phone line use a Magic Jack device. I used to spend over $125 a month for TV and Mobile phone service and now $20.00 a month.

If you can't be a net benefit you have no business in the USA. Why should tax payers cover you. Get out. It is illegal for immigrants to get "free" stuff until after 5 years of residency. GTFO.

SMH. What I don't understand is articles like this

https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-is-wrong-saudi-arabia-needs-us-more-than-us-needs-the-kingdom-2018-11

This is coming out in the aftermath of Trump's weapons deal with the Saudis last year. The US does not need to depend on Saudi Oil anymore and since the US is being antagonistic to Iran, they don't need their oil neither.

So what's keeping the US-Saudi relationship and the US-Iran antagonism alive? Both the Saudis and Iranians have been accused of funding extremists groups with anti-American and western views, but why does US consider one an ally and the other the enemy?

It is complicated. Mostly Saudis/Israel/USA/Britian/and some other Arab countries vs. Iran/Russia/Syria. The conflicts go way back over a thousand years as Iranians are Persians, obviously the Arab countries are Arabic. A lot changed after the Iranian Revolution in 79', and relations with Arabs declined, then there was the Iran-Iraq war in the 80's where most of the Arabic countries supported Iraq. Also in 79' Iranians invaded the US Embassy in Iran and held American diplomats and citizens hostage for well about a year and a half, about 50 Americans.

I Like how you sneak the sentence in there about making that part of the world first worldish as you say. A subtle yet revealing sentiment.


European Jews are of course "white" compared to say Sephardic Jews. So as soon as these "jews' established a European colony in the middle east, they brought with them first world aspirations and knowledge.

Bravo!

The Secret of Israel's Water Miracle and How It Can Help a Thirsty World
Yes, because in a process lasting decades, Israel achieved something unique. It largely separated its water consumption from Mother Nature. Israel doesn't have some one-stop-shop magic solution, neither desalination (which it didn't invent) nor some breakthrough dreamed up by geniuses in garages. What it has is holistic, centralized water management, designed over decades, from which thirsty areas from California to Egypt can cherry-pick ideas, argues Seth Siegel, author of the best-selling book "Let There Be Water". Why reinvent the wheel when one can emulate it?

"Israel should have been a water basket case," says Siegel, listing its problems: 60% of the land is desert and the rest is arid. Rainfall has fallen to half its 1948 average, apparently thanks to climate change, and as global warming progresses, Israel and the whole Levant are expected to become even drier – and from 1948, Israel's population

WW2 started during the Versailles treaty where France and UK refused to be wise. They triggered WW2 by humiliating Germany.
They also overlooked and humiliated the Japs although Japan was their ally in WW1.against imperial Germany.

Nope. Although the same country also started WWl, Germany lol.

We are discussing History not race, not religion.

Truth .The Furher was a man of peace who was misunderstood in a wild Europe.

You are 100% crazy. What is the deal? You just hate Jews are something?

panafrican:
After WW1 there was no peace in Europe. No European leader cared about the bleak feature of a crumbling German nation.
They did not care about social justice , they were more concerned with expanding their empire oversea.
That was why Hitler's army was made of several European nationalities. People poured into Germany in droves from European nations.There were even Jews in the Wehrmacht.

Hogwash.

HarryDuce:
I can't say which is the worst, but these are equally notable. In no particular order:

• The holocaust.

•The Armenia genocide.

•The American-Filipino war.

•The Australian genocide.

•The Atlantic slave trade.

•The Rwandan genocide.

•The Guatemala war ( genocide literally)

Notable mentions:

The English-Boer war.

Stalin's genocide of his people was much worse.

mysticwarrior:
the white men were not the only ones guilty during the transatlantic slave trade, Africans assisted them in capturing other Africans, king Kosoko of Lagos and Nana of itsekiri were among them, I understand the point you are trying to make but am interested In knowing about atrocities committed during war, not just the first or second world war, any other war is accepted.

Arabs and Whites just pulled their ships up to the ports for a steady stream slave trade. It was very mutual.

panafrican:
Hitler was not the only guilty in the war.
As a matter of fact Europeans , Jews and all other countries Germany invaded were more guilty than Hitler. He was working to make Europe peacefull and
civilized.

LOL. He started WWll. Europe was largely peaceful after WWl.

panafrican:
It is about "A " but you are talking about "B".
You have something to hide maybe.
Who owns the land ? The Palestinians.
You took it away by force, pretending to be Jews ?
Europeans.!

Jews lived in Israel before "Palestine" ever existed. Palestine is a name given, as a pejorative, by the Roman Empire. Maybe it should go back to Rome/Italy control? Who is you? I never took a country from anyone and I am not European.

People still don't understand Trump. He now has all of the dirt on the Deep State. Of course Trump was Mueller to testify, that is why he suggested otherwise because the Dems flip out and do whatever Trump suggests not to do. If Trump tweeted, I have all of the dirt on the Deep State and Muller's witch hunt please bring him in to testify then the Dems would hide Mueller away.

Maybe 14 dead, could have been worse.
