S.Africa: The Mythology of Nelson Mandela and his legacy and what he stood for.
Date Posted: Monday 21-Jul-2008Nelson Mandela's legacy is largely a myth.
Mandela found himself squeezed between various political forces, from Communism to the Western world. He struck some deals.
I was actually chatting to a former CIA officer about EXACTLY WHAT THE DEAL WAS THAT MANDELA AND DE KLERK DID STRIKE. According to him, the original deal was:-
1. ANC gets political power.
2. Whites retain economic power.
That was the deal. But we know the communist plan always called for a Phase 2 where ANC seizes economic power via communism. And that is where we are now.
I was told too who was behind the negotiations, etc but that is for another day.
Mandela's "legacy" was that he walked a fine line between various forces, and no doubt he did it with a shrewd eye to the future. Mandela is not a "cute old Santa Claus" as people portray him. Mandela struck the various deals because it allowed the ANC to move forward.
But... by striking those deals, he left the ANC in a position where they could later renege on those deals too - which they have done in recent years. They now can renege on those deals and its too late for anyone to say or do much about them.
This is precisely what Mugabe has done in Zim.
The Western World's political theory was all about attaching strings and later being able to activate and pull on those strings. But they miscalculated as to how strong those strings were.
My view of Nelson Mandela is that when faced with various political options and people were coming to him with deals, he was shrewd enough to know which to take and how to take them so that in the long term, the ANC could benefit from them. Whether he personally actually believed in any of those deals is a whole different question.
Remember we see him singing about killing the whites here: [16 Pics & Full Video] The Songs they Sing about Killing Whites
The main push for lauding Nelson Mandela comes from the Liberal Mass media and the West - and the ANC takes full advantage of it.
But this is just a worldwide propaganda exercise to portray him as a cute old black Santa Claus. That is not what he really was. Remember it is Nelson Mandela who formed MK (the ANC's armed wing) and who started the actual "struggle" (war) which raged for 33 years. Nelson Mandela was really a militant. In his own book, "Long Walk to Freedom" he admitted to signing off on the Church Street bombing, the bloodiest bombing that the ANC ever took part in.
In 2005, I published this paper which was written by a US College Student called: "The Wrong Path to Freedom". It is worth reading: USA: College Paper: Mandela: Wrong Path To Freedom
My own conclusion is that Nelson Mandela really walked "The Cunning path to Freedom" - for what that "freedom" may be worth, since freedom and the ANC are oxymorons.

I concur much with caroline....in fact I feel a sense of pride in knowing that my perceptions on this matter is similar to others wh express precisely the same.South Africa had to be 'liberated' before the end of the millenium....it was all part of a globular vision by the morons with global village ambitions and the OWG.mandela simply is a pawn in the whole matter.and while he still is available he is the protagonist and chief player in the raking in of millions with his propped up popularity and pseudo champion of the underprivilged......just keep on smiling for the cameras for the suckers who dont know any different and we continue to keep u and those close to on the bankroll....27 years ...long road to freedom......WHAT FREEDOM........WASTED 27 YEARS/THAT IS IF YOU WERE REALLY INSIDE

Jack,
Is it a human trait or 'colour' trait to abuse power? I don't think the whites have a monopoly on that. Abuse with generations of experience on the international stage is perhaps only slightly better than total novices who, perhaps, find it difficult to think beyond their 'tribe'. At least, the country's infrastructure and fiscal policies are more stable. If I remember correctly, Apartheid was recognised as being unacceptable internationally but Mr De Klerk said it would take generations for the change to be truly effective (I paraphrase). Perhaps he was being protectionist but perhaps he was also being logical such a huge transition in such a short time is bound to create problems, surely generations need to grow in an evolving society. Were was Rev. Jesse Jackson when all the trouble started, he was very vocal up to the transition?
W.r.t SA not being a white country, is it black? Or brown? At what level of power are the indigenous people of SA?

Has anyone considered what the situation in South Africa would be without Mandela?
It is easy to find some bit of evidence that suggests that he approved of terrorism at one point or another or was a closet communist or a tool of some behind-the-scenes operator. All that is speculation and to what end? Just where is that line of thinking going? It is being suggested that apartheid should have been continued? Is it being suggested that without the threat of a general revolt, it would have been just quietly abolished? Let's have some plain talk!
Now, let's look at the situation without him. The alternatives all seem more radical, more violent. I think a very supportable speculation is that Mandela is and was a stabilizing influence and if he and his apparent morale authority were out of the picture, the situation could rapidly decline into greater violence.

this whole sa and mandela thing is just all part of the world wide devide and rule policy of the illuminati towards a one world government. But ..... things will be changing and that will come through the complete breakdown of the financial system. hence the comming world-wide depression with hyperinflation..... There are a lot of other rumors going around like winnie mandela walking around buying her outfits and paying with a nelson mandela children's fund cheque book. now why do you think she can do that? by Blackmailing nelson and powers that be because i think that she can tell you that he was not in jail all the time that we have been told he was. oh yeah, but that is no different then the bushes, the kennedies, the windsors .... nelson mandela is small fry in comparison with the oppenheimers, the rothchilds, slazengers, and any other kings and queens ans presidents you can think of .... yeah, globally we are in for a rough ride in getting ride of those that devide and rule under tables.

Interesting article.
I am a white, third generation South African and I think Jackass needs to do a little research instead of repeating the opinions of the ignorant or the propaganda machine. Hint: begin your research by identifying the real indiginous South Africans, then work out the migration of the Africans and then the Europeans. Talk less, read more.

I don't think any of the great statesmen of leaders in recent history have been anything great at all. They have been puppets, mere fronts for others and at the best manipulated into doing what they appeared to achieve. There are no surprises in this for me.

ANd so what!!! Why should a handful of whites control a country which was never theirs? Much like the Israeli's control of Gazastrip and the lives of those in Palenstine, they are not/were not the true holders of the land and it was justified under the conditions in which Black Africians lived...to strike a blow against their oppressors......Whites always think they can come into a country, take over, treat the people as animals and not have to suffer any reprecussion...Just watch what ahppens when the Iraqi's wake up and kick the whites to the curb....I do not feel sorry for the white South africans...they reaped what they sowed and it has come back to smak them in their red faces...

British conspiracy theorist David Ike once said in 1996 that SA wasn't controlled by Mandea but by the Oppenheimer family.

Very few statesmen are really that great. Maybe, Caesar, Bismarck, Washington. Whilst the average engineer is racking his brains out at say 50 or 60, his peer is running the country. Do you really think his peer is that much smarter? Hardly. We saw it in the old SA. The really smart Afrikaners were engineers, doctors, officers and bureaucrats. De Klerk and that worm Meyer were just pathetic recipients of political power. What disappointments they turned out to be. How many more able peers were there not in the old SA!
That's why it’s ridiculous that Obama should be running the US at 48. What does he know more that any good engineer or doctor at that age? Probably less so because he is just another AA hire.
Same with Mandela. He was sitting in jail for 27 years or whatever. To begin with he did something which most rightwing politicians are warning their followers should refrain from: planting bombs. So that shows you Mandela was not that bright. And then prison makes most oaks stupid. It’s an open secret that his law degree was basically thrown at him. He must rank as one of the most overrated politicians in history. One thing he should receive a reward for though: acting the part! He was a first class actor!
