SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

November 2019 edition

This publication was of course very supportive of the candidature of Donald J. Trump during the 2016 US Presidential Election contest, and expressed great joy when he was victorious. During the first couple of years of Donald Trump’s Presidency we had nothing but praise for his policies and actions, notwithstanding his apparent willingness to appease the DPRK and certain other third-world tyrannies.

In particular we were highly delighted with the manner in which he pursued his election promise of building a wall along the Mexican border in order to keep out illegal Hispanic immigrants in spite of concerted efforts to frustrate this policy by Democratic Party and other liberal/leftist elements, and also by the fact that he was not afraid to tell certain foreign-descended Donkey Party congresswomen that they should go back where they came from! He has also been one of the few world leaders to at least acknowledge the current quasi-genocide campaign taking place against White farmers and inner-city dwellers in the “new” South Africa – even though he has alas taken no accompanying meaningful actions to remedy this situation.

In April of last year we were further heartened when Donald Trump appointed John Bolton as his National Security Advisor, as he had been greatly admired for his work and influence in the administration of President George W. Bush. This admiration for John Bolton was subsequently further heightened when it came to light that it had been he who had influenced the Trump administration to speak out against the quasi-genocide campaign taking place in the “new” South Africa, and furthermore by the revelations that he was advocating far less conciliatory stances in relations with the DPRK and threatening Middle-Eastern states.

Alas, however, over recent months all this seems to have changed, and the Trump Administration seems to have gone in a completely different direction. Last month he dismissed John Bolton as his National Security Advisor for no apparent reason, and shortly after this an even worse development occurred when he announced that he was withdrawing all US troops from Syria. Notwithstanding the fact that he subsequently sanctioned the elimination of the ISIS/ISIL terrorist leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, this gave all the wrong signals to anti-Western forces not only in the Middle-East, but indeed throughout the third-world. It meant a return to the terrifying bad old days of the Obama administration when non-intervention against threatening terrorist forces was the order of the day, and the resulting international instability meant that swarms of non-White migrants invaded the West.

When he took office Donald J. Trump promised to “Make America Great Again”, but alas this recent decision to withdraw US troops from Syria, and thus to allow ISIS/ISIL and their terrorist allies to flourish once more, has “Made America Puny Again”, not only in the eyes of the third-world minions, but also with his erstwhile friends and allies in the West. Already many leading GOP representatives have spoken out against this retrograde move, most notably Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. It is hoped of course that President Trump will be persuaded to reverse this neo-Obamaite policy of his, but if not it must be hoped that somehow the GOP manages to find an alternative Presidential candidate for 2020 who will be strong and forthright in standing up for the interests of the US and the West in general. There is already such a man waiting in the wings of course: John Bolton.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

Albeit a few days late, the Springbok Club will be staging a special meeting in order to celebrate the 54th anniversary of UDI Day later this month. The details are as follows :-

Date : Friday 15th November 2019

Time : 19.00 hrs. for 19.30 hrs.[N.B. The function room has only officially been hired from 19.30 hrs onwards, but it is believed that it should be available by 19.00 hrs. Please assemble in the large ground-floor bar if it is not available when you arrive therefore.]

Venue : The Hoop & Toy (the downstairs smaller function room), 34 Thurloe Place, South Kensington, London SW7 2HQ.

(The Hoop & Toy is adjacent to South Kensington underground station on the Circle Line. Upon exiting South Kensington Station turn right into the arcade, then bear slightly to the left into Cromwell Place. This road then bends round to the right and becomes Thurloe Place, with the Hoop & Toy being on the immediate right. Please do not confuse with the near-by Thurloe Street).

Guest Speaker : Mr. Neil Farnell

(Neil Farnell was born and educated at Nelson, Lancashire, though he has lived in Greater London for many years. He has enjoyed a very successful career in advertising, and is also a popular freelance writer and broadcaster, having written many acclaimed articles on global events, political science and national identity. It was he who initiated the famous Rhodesian Tour of 1976 when five [then] young British patriots and members of the Anglo-Rhodesian Society toured Rhodesia in order to express their solidarity with their Rhodesian kith-and-kin. In his talk, which will be illustrated by several items relating to the Rhodesian expedition, he will tell something about the tour, and also why he believes that the Rhodesian struggle should not be forgotten and still has relevance today.)

----------------------------

It is still hoped that the Springbok Club will be able to obtain another suitable venue whereat to stage the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony in December. More precise details will of course be given in next month’s SCN if successful.

------------------------------------------------------------------

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS

The Patriotic Forum participated in the big pro-Brexit march and rally which took place in Westminster on Thursday 31st October. This of course was the re-scheduled date for the UK’s final leaving of the hated European Union, but alas of course this departure still did not take place on this day – so the march and rally therefore acted as a demonstration of the anger and frustration increasingly being felt by the British people. It did however prove to be a most encouraging and inspiring event, and several new supporters of the Patriotic Forum were obtained as a result.

----------------------------

On Thursday 12th December the Patriotic Forum anticipates holding a special meeting at which the guest speaker will be a famous former Conservative MP. It is realised of course that this will now be General Election day, but alas this is the only date which is convenient for the guest speaker. This meeting will however start somewhat earlier than usual, and it will be ensured that it finishes by 21.00 hrs. Fuller details will of course be given in next month’s SCN..

-------------------------------------------------------------------

THE IMPERIAL PATRIOT

The third edition of the re-branded The Imperial Patriot (formerly S.A.Patriot/S.A.Patriot-in-Exile) is now very close to completion. Further funds are however still required in order to pay for the printing and postage costs. If you can help in any way in this respect the best method of doing so would be to purchase batches of back-copies of the magazine.

MESSAGE FROM THE POLITICAL ANIMAL LOBBY

We have recently received the following most alarming message from the Political Animal Lobby organisation, illustrating yet again the appalling attitude taken towards animals in both China and on the African continent, particularly in the “new” South Africa. It reads as follows :-

“If the insatiable demand in China for donkey skins is not banned, donkeys could be extinct in four years.

”It’s that simple and that frightening. The Chinese use donkey skins to make a phony medicine called Ejiao and they want TEN MILLION SKINS A YEAR to do so. You do the maths: In four years, all the world’s donkeys could be gone. The Political Animal Lobby is trying to stop it and we need your help to do so.

”Right now, the trade is centred in Africa. Like vampires, Chinese traders have fallen on unsophisticated rural people - buying and stealing donkeys on an unprecedented scale, often slaughtering donkeys while they are still alive and then shipping their skins to China.

“The donkey genocide that is taking place is not only a massive tragedy for animals, it has a devastating effect on children. In Africa, people are poor and public transport is rare, so the people use donkeys to fetch water and wood and to take their children to school. If there are no donkeys, then the children can’t get to school and instead are used as child labour, carrying wood and water to remote villages.

”Yet this tragedy is being virtually ignored by many African governments. Kenya has even LEGALISED the trade and set up donkey slaughter-houses, where thousands of donkeys die each month. When donkeys are wiped out in one area, the slaughter-house closes and moves to another. Recently, a smuggling trade has erupted bringing donkeys from Ethiopia to Kenya.

”In South Africa, where lawlessness is common and police are corrupt and inefficient, the donkeys are bought on public auction and led into the bush, where impromptu, illegal slaughter-houses are set up and men, often drunk, hack the donkeys to death, while skinning them in their death agony.

“The only way this can be stopped is if enough people publicly condemn the Chinese donkey skin trade and persuade African governments to ban it. There are two important ways to do this :-.

“Firstly please if you possibly can, make a donation to the Political Animal Lobby today. We will use your donation to pressure governments relentlessly in every way we can, to ban the trade. We know that if we can bring enough pressure to bear, we will win, but we can’t do it without you.

“Secondly, please sign our petition to the South African government today. The trade is particularly vicious there because of the extreme cruelty that is often involved in donkey slaughtering. Because it is so cruel, we will spearhead the African campaign in South Africa.

“You can help save the world’s donkeys by both donating today and signing the petition. We will see it gets to the right people.

“For the Animals,

“Andrea Matthee - Lead Campaigner,Political Animal Lobby

“P.S. As shocking as this situation is, it is also deadly serious. If the Chinese are not stopped, the world’s donkeys could be extinct in just four years. Your donation is desperately needed. but equally important is your signature on our petition. The more names we can collect, the more influence we will have when pressuring the government officials who can BAN this despicable trade. Please, please help us in this fight!”

RUGBY WORLD CUP DISASTER

The outcome of this year’s Rugby World Cup was not only surprising – it was disastrous!

Having been soundly beaten by the All Blacks in their first match of the tournament, and then having had a very easy run of matches up until the semi-final, the subsequent triumph by the “new” South African team can only be described as greatly unexpected. We are not trying to say that there was any skullduggery involved such as that which occurred in 1995, when several members of the All Blacks side suffered food poisoning shortly before the final, simply that because of the fixtures schedule it was a fluke.

Make no bones about it however, the “new” South African team represented the ruling ANC terrorist regime and not the country as a whole. They played under the flag and symbols of the ANC regime (indeed one player even grotesquely wore an ANC flag pair of underpants!) and they stood to attention for the nauseating ANC anthem – and as a result you can bet your bottom dollar that the ANC regime will milk this triumph for all the propaganda value which they can get!

All observers who take a close interest in South African affairs know that the country is now a basket-case and the crime capital of the world. A quasi-genocide campaign is being enacted there against White farmers and pensioners trapped in inner-city areas; corruption is endemic, and all forms of national infrastructure have collapsed. It has been difficult enough for overseas friends of South Africa to alert the powers-that-be to the true appalling conditions which now pertain in that sorry land, but now the inevitable response which they will receive when they try to explain what is actually happening there is “How can the situation in South Africa be as bad as you paint it when the country has been able to win the Rugby World Cup?”. All those who played for the “new” South Africa team (whether or not they wore ANC flag underpants!) and all those who supported the team should therefore be ashamed of themselves. It was like spitting on the graves of all those innocents who have been killed under ANC rule.

LATEST AUSTRALIAN NEWS

The Tasmania Branch of the Australian National Flag Association staged a splendid luncheon at the Parliament House in Hobart during September in order to celebrate the 118th anniversary of the Australian Flag being officially adopted. The guest speaker at this dazzling event was Senator Jonathon Duniam, the Assistant Minister for Forestry, Fisheries and Regional Tourism. The increasing growth and activism of organisations such as the Australian National Flag Association demonstrates clearly that patriotic sentiments and pride in their British heritage is firmly on the ascendancy in Australia.

HNP DEFIANTLY MAINTAINS STRUGGLE

Although the age of meaningful White politics in South Africa is long since over, the HNP, which valiantly opposed the steady sell-out and surrender of South Africa by successive NP governments throughout the 1970s and 80s, has still maintained a functioning structure. In spite of the popular conception that the HNP was anti-English because of its “Afrikaans first” policy when it came to official languages, it was our experience when we were still based in South Africa that the party fully supported White unity, and indeed we received nothing but friendship from them during the early and mid-1980s. In a recent Media Release which the party issued blasting the ANC regime’s attempts to ban the real South African flag – “die Oranje, Blanje en Blou” – they gave their full backing to the continuing use of the real flag, a flag beloved to both Afrikaners and British-South Africans alike. We salute the HNP in this brave and noble stance, and wish them every success in their continuing struggle under such extremely difficult circumstances. The HNP web-site can be accessed at :-

LATEST SWEDISH NEWS

An article in The Daily Telegraph of 4th November states that the Sweden Democrats party is “within a hair’s breadth” of becoming the biggest political force in Sweden. Our very good friend and supporter from Sweden, Lars Karnestam, who sadly died earlier this year (see obituary in the September 2019 SCN) was of course a founding member of the Sweden Democrats and remained a keen supporter of the party until his untimely death. Lars told us a few years back, however, that he was very keen to forge links with another patriotic centre-right party in Sweden, the Christian Democrats, and it was thus of extra interest to read in the Daily Telegraph article that “a working lunch” had taken place between the leaders of the Sweden Democrats and leaders of the Christian Democrats. It seems therefore that all of Lars’s great efforts over the years are now bearing spectacular fruits, and it is just a tragedy that he isn’t still alive to witness them.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.252 - Ms. P.K. WALTERS of Durban

Ms. P.K. Walters came into contact with Patriotic Press and the original Patriotic Forum when we were still based in Durban during the late 1980. Only knowing her initials through correspondence we presumed that she was male – until she came along to one of our meetings and we realised our mistake! She was a relatively young woman and seemed very keen, but alas before we could really get to know her we were forced to leave South Africa. She lived in the Greyville area of Durban, and it would certainly be good to make contact with her again.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BY GEORGE!

Sir,

Your obituary to George Hazelden in your August 2011 Edition was admirable, but I fear that the praise which you gave him was very misplaced. As you accurately stated, Hazelden had earlier been a stalwart of the National Front in Great Britain, a party which at the time (before the neo-fascists took over) was best known for its pro-British and pro-White-solidarity policies – firmly opposing non-White immigration and advocating friendlier ties with our kith-and-kin in Southern Africa. Hazelden furthermore stated that his intention in emigrating to South Africa was in order to do his bit to support the South African struggle to preserve civilised rule and the system of separate development which was then operating – as indeed was the intention of many other National Front activists who similarly emigrated to South Africa at the same time.

I have however recently come across an article about Hazelden entitled “Back to the Wall” which appeared in the Sunday Telegraph Magazine of 4th July 1999, which concerned his scheme to create a “walled city” just outside Somerset West called Heritage Park. In this article Hazelden is quoted as saying about his desired residents of Heritage Park: “The only colour we care about is the colour of people’s money”, and furthermore refers to an ANC terrorist leader as “a wonderful guy”. He also evidently subsequently invited an ANC official to open the first phase of Heritage Park and was grovellingly obsequious towards him!

Quite obviously therefore Hazelden was either a phony when he was active in the National Front during the 1970s (and don’t forget that he wasn’t just an ordinary member, he was Branch Chairman of one of the most dynamic branches in the country and stood as NF Parliamentary candidate for Rochester and Chatham at the October 1974 General Election), or else he became a complete turncoat. In either case he proved to be a complete traitor to the cause which he claimed to espouse. His name should therefore be remembered – if it should be remembered at all – with complete odium.

Yours etc.,

H.K.H., Gillingham, Kent, U.K.

[ Following the featuring of George Hazelden’s first wife Jane in the “Where are they now?” section of the December 2017 SCN we received information about her own e-mail address and that of her son Mark. We e-mailed them both as a result, but alas never received the decency of a reply from either of them. – Ed.]

----------------------------

END OF THE BEGINNING

Sir,

I entirely agree with your last sentence: “We must all work together to ensure that Brexit takes place in its entirety - then immediately to focus on the next stage of the struggle - the immigration/repatriation battle!”. My sentiments exactly!

Yours etc.,

Richard Highthwaite, Nottinghamshire, U.K.

----------------------------

ROOI BOERE

Sir,

There have also been marches in Australia in support of South Africa. I notice Russia has taken 12,000 South African farmers.

Yours etc.,

Reg A.Watson, Lindisfarne, Tasmania, Australia.

----------------------------

PENSION PLAN

Sir,

The government of Southern Rhodesia donated the assets of the Public Service Pensions Fund to the UK government at the end of WWII to assist their recovery. In doing so, government undertook to pay pensioners from public funds. Zimbabwe government public service pensioners are now paid as and when it suits the government. The last payment to some Zimbabwe government public service pensioners in South Africa was made in November 2017 (after Mnangagwa replaced Mugabe as President). The next payment was only made in August 2019, when forex was allocated by the Reserve Bank.

Yours etc.,

Johan Geelvink, Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa

THE SPEAKING TOUR OF SOUTH AFRICA BY AN ANTI-COMMUNIST RUSSIAN

Around 1989/90, when we were still based in South Africa, we were contacted by a lady who we’d had no contact with previously who was orchestrating a speaking tour of South Africa by an Anti-Communist Russian, who asked if we could organise for the Durban leg of this tour. The lady in question sent us an audio-recording of a talk given by this Russian and we were highly impressed (particularly by his opening remark when he greeted everyone with the phrase “My fellow Capitalists!”), and so we readily agreed to help, booking a venue in Durban for him to speak at accordingly.

Unfortunately, of course, this was the time of de Klerk’s final sell-out of South Africa, and we were suffering badly accordingly – both financially and personally. As a result when the date of the scheduled Durban leg of this speaking tour came we were in absolutely no position to be able to assist as we had originally hoped and promised. We did however see by adverts in the Natal press that the Durban leg was definitely still taking place.

Needless to say, the fact that we had to let this lady down so upset us badly and made us feel extremely guilty. Following our enforced re-location to the UK shortly thereafter we alas could find no trace of the name or the contact details of this lady – nor even the name of the Russian speaker. Once we were able to re-establish ourselves fully a couple of years later we tried to discover her name and address through colleagues still living in South Africa so that we could write to her to apologise, but alas to no avail.

A short while ago we were reminded about this speaking tour however, so we thought that we would therefore ask readers of the SCN if anyone knew who this lady was and how she could now be contacted. In spite of all the years which have elapsed we would still very much like to write to her to explain all the problems which had befallen us which meant that we had to let her down so badly. If anyone can help in this regard so that we can get this embarrassing memory off our conscience then we would be most grateful.
