White Shop:Against Our Better Judgment: The Hidden History of How the U.S. Was Used to Create Israel
Prodigiously documented Alison Weir must be highly commended for throwing such a brilliantly hard light on the relationship between the United States and Israel. I hope this marvelous book gets all the attention it deserves. Ambassador Andrew Killgore
[To be honest with you, in any normal White country, a State of National Disaster would mean that things will get done and you'll see results. But this is South Africa, run by Black Communists, beloved by Jews. Seriously, we don't need a National State of Disaster to be declared. It will just be much more irritating than the problems that we already have AND they will not be able to fix anything. This country is run by incompetants, fools, liars and thieves. The Black Jew Ramaphosa, is no better than any of those who came before. In fact, in some respects he seems to be even more worthless. The only solution is for Whites to rule ourselves. The sooner the better. Jan]
South Africa is considering declaring a national state of disaster as record power cuts cripple the economy.
The government is looking into whether the ongoing energy crisis fulfils the legal requirements for the measure, last put in place in March 2020 to manage the Covid-19 pandemic, President Cyril Ramaphosa said in closing remarks at the ruling African National Congress’s strategy meeting on Monday.
“Work is already underway within government to establish whether the legal requirements of a national state of disaster are met and what specific actions we would be empowered to undertake,” he said.
Past state of disasters have enabled the fast-tracking of spending and the implementation of certain regulations.
In the case of the coronavirus outbreak, for example, it enabled lockdown rules to be enforced and medical supplies to be procured.
The ANC has come under increasing pressure to resolve South Africa’s electricity crisis after more than two decades of indecision, graft and political interference reduced state-owned utility Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd. to a dysfunctional entity reliant on government handouts.
The country has suffered 94 consecutive days of rotational blackouts, known locally as load-shedding, often for 10 hours or more a day.
The power cuts are straining the finances of the nation’s biggest cities as the hit on economic growth reduces tax income and maintenance budgets surge because of breakdowns of electricity-distribution equipment.
The central bank cut its forecast for economic growth this year to 0.3%, from 1.1% previously, because of the power outages that it estimates will shave an estimated 2 percentage points off output this year.
“A national state of disaster will enable us to have the instruments necessary to fully implement the challenges that our nation faces,” Ramaphosa said.
