ON THIS DAY, JULY 15

- MPHILISENI MTHIMKHULU van Rijn is born in Leiden, Holland. He is best known for The Night Watch and many portraits and self-portraits. The Rosetta Stone, crucial to understand­ing Egyptian hieroglyph­ics, is found in the village of Rosetta during French Em

TV news anchor Christine Chubbuck, 29, announces live to her audience: “In keeping with Channel 40’s policy of bringing you the latest in blood and guts in living colour, you are going to see another first – attempted suicide.” She draws a .38 revolver from under her desk and fatally injures herself. She is the first person to commit suicide in a live broadcast.

Hundreds of thousands of Hutus flee

MANY people are dying, dead

Plumes rise up to the skies, Dwarfing the towering peaks of the Drakensber­g and Carlton Centre, Black smokes darken horizons, It is funerals, the country is dying. Many people are dying, dead.

Interminab­le wails from mothers and children alike,

Their cries heard into the heavens, Children, hungry no food for days, Children, motherless and fatherless,

Like those born out of snakes and crocodiles. Many people are dying, dead.

Listen to their prayers – “Don’t take me, take him and take her.” Unceasing prayers with no beginning and end. Prayers, entreaties, pleadings,

False promises for change of future behaviour, Even duplicitou­s criminals and charlatans With newly found courage to lie again – All to be spared from a certain and punctual death. God must have thousands of ears and bags full of amulets and clementine­s.

Many people are dying, dead.

One man at the dead end of his breath, Gazed in desperatio­n the end of his sight, Murmured words to those that bothered to listen: Dig my grave next to my love – She left me yesterday; And my mother, last week;

Prepare my death and hand me a white handkerchi­ef, For I will seek peace in the heavens To spare my dear children. With last words his breath disappears in thin air.

Many people are dying, dead.

I gaze at the deserts, oceans, mountains and plains, Emptiness so vast. Many people are dying, dead.

THERE is evidence that South Africa is registered as a corporatio­n with the Securities Exchange Commission in New York – https://sec.report/ CIK/0000932419.

Who registered it, when and why? What is our status as indigenous people whose ancestors have lived in this country from the beginning of time?

If South Africa is a corporatio­n, why does it pretend to have a government elected by the people; a parliament, executive and the judiciary? Who owns South Africa Inc? It means this corporatio­n is in charge of the army, police, intelligen­ce agencies and

AMERICAN President Donald Trump desperatel­y tried to be smarter than China by refusing to put the US on lockdown.

He told the world that America will soon develop a vaccine. It turned out that the detergents were his vaccine.

What a lunatic. Today, the US is the most-infected country in the world other security forces. If South Africa is a corporatio­n, why does it administer our affairs as sovereign countries do the affairs of their people?

It is disconcert­ing that we were put under a hard lockdown by a corporatio­n. What right does it have? What do gangsters know about fighting the spread of diseases? Gangsters run their affairs in secret. Their science is questionab­le because they get their instructio­ns from another multinatio­nal corporatio­n, the World Health Organizati­on which serves the interests of big pharma and more.

Look at rampant corruption. The and the number of infections is rising at an alarming rate.

The US and Western countries accuse China of having the lowest number of infections although they failed to contain the virus.

The US is afraid of China’s growing strength and is worried about its superpower status and has declared gangster who took over the corporatio­n took it over from another gangster of European settlers who usurped the country by force of arms from indigenous people. They secretly negotiated the transfer to ANC gangsters of a country taken from indigenous people by force of arms and which was run by the Broederbon­d, a secret society.

The people of this country should get the status of South Africa clear. We can’t be pushed around by a gangster run corporatio­n.

Those who govern do so by consent of the governed.

By Stephen Francis & Rico an economic war against China.

Because of their fears and blunders, the US economy will suffer more than that of Communist China.

With leaders like the president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, and Trump, many people will die and Covid-19 will be with us for a very long time.
