SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

January 2021 edition

As we predicted in last month’s SCN, Joe Biden has now been confirmed as the 46th President of the United States – in spite of the fact that there was substantial evidence of vote-rigging in at least six key states during last year’s Presidential Election..

The Leftist media both in the United States and around the world have predictably been asserting in almost parrot-like fashion that the allegations of vote-rigging have been “fake” and “unsubstantiated”, but this is clearly not the case. There have been thousands of affidavits sworn by those who witnessed the tampering of postal votes, the prevention of accredited observers from watching the counts and by those who were falsely told that they had already voted by post when they turned up to vote in person. More damningly, however, has been the role played by Dominion Voting Systems in the computerised tallying of votes in most of the key states. Although founded and based in Canada, DVS has several sinister foreign connections, including with both the Communist Chinese and the Venezuelan dictatorial regimes. Furthermore DVS machines have been shown to be easily programmable to switch vote numbers from one candidate to another.

All this is not proof that the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged of course, but it was sufficient evidence to require that all allegations were fully investigated before the final result was to be declared and ratified by the Electoral College. The knee-jerk reactions of most of the mainstream media in stating that all of these multitude allegations were “fake” and “unsubstantiated” without investigating all the claims in full must therefore be roundly condemned.

But attempts to rig US Presidential Elections in favour of Democratic Party candidates are not new. In 1960 LBJ was widely believed to have “fixed” the result in Texas in favour of his ticket with JFK, and a number of ballot boxes from Illinois containing votes mainly for Richard Nixon were found dumped in Lake Michigan after the election. The statements by President George W. Bush – a person who we had previously admired greatly – rejecting all the evidence that the 2020 Election was rigged were particularly unfortunate. He should remember that “Donkey Party” agents tried to steal Florida from him in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 – and probably actually succeeded in stealing Pennsylvania from him in 2000!

Viewed against such widescale – and seemingly well-founded – beliefs that the 2020 Election had been stolen from President Donald Trump, the physical protests of so many citizens in Washington DC on 6th January was therefore not only predictable, but was also to be respected, If the authorities and the “Fourth Estate” were not prepared to uphold the rule of law – in the US context this means the Constitution – then it is surely the duty of the people to act? To call those who participated in this active protest against what they honestly believed to be a fraudulent result as “insurrectonists” and “domestic terrorists”, as unfortunately has been the case with so many sections of the media and the Biden team, was not only inaccurate, it was also obscene.

We stated in last month’s edition of the SCN that the stage seemed set for a Second American Civil War. On 6th January 2021 this Second Civil War appears to have begun. The names of Ashli Babbit and those other brave American patriots who were killed whilst demanding that the election of their President should be fair and valid will live in glory for ever.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

Although all the Covid-1984 hysteria and “lockdown” lunacy prevented the Springbok Club from organising any Day of the Vow commemoration meeting for 2020, we know that a number of the organisation’s members staged small individual commemorations to mark this important day. Alas all the continuing reprehensible restrictions on our rights and freedoms will mean that the Springbok Club’s AGM will not be able to be held in January as usual in 2021, but it has been decided that all office-holders from 2020 will retain their positions until the 2021 AGM is able to be held.

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS

The Patriotic Forum has now made arrangements for a full-scale experimental Zoom meeting. This will be held on Friday 15th January 2021 between 12.00 noon and 13.00 hrs GMT (between 14.00 hrs and 15.00 hrs South African time). All Patriotic Forum members will be informed of the Zoom meeting address and password early this coming week, but if you would also like to become involved please inform the Patriotic Forum at: swinton@netcomuk.co.uk. Being an “experimental” meeting there will not be any special guest speaker, but it is hoped that an American supporter will be able to give information about what is currently happening in the US following last year’s disputed Presidential Election outcome.

REPORT FROM THE NETWORK FOR ANIMALS

We have recently received the following most heart-wrenching report from the Network for Animals organisation, which reads as follows :-

“Bela Bela in South Africa is an impoverished, forgotten community, rampant with crime, drugs and violence. Donkeys there are continuously mistreated, overworked and abused.

“People are so poor they overload donkey carts and use painful, makeshift harnesses that cause the donkeys terrible injuries. Many of the donkeys suffer from lameness, injured hooves, infected wounds and injuries caused by whips and beatings. They get no medical treatment and are worked until they drop.

“Covid has made poor people poorer and angry at the world. And some take it out on donkeys who can’t fight back. Donkeys are being tortured, maimed and left to die agonizing deaths. This is not an exaggeration - remember us telling you about a donkey who had its legs hacked off because it was too weak to pull a cart? Well, that’s the kind of thing we must deal with and that’s why your help is desperately needed to save these gentle and trusting creatures from a life of pain.

“Just the other day, our team was told about a cart that was being pulled by two exhausted and injured donkeys. When we arrived on the scene, we found two donkeys who could barely stand and had numerous injuries. We got there in the nick of time and moved them to safety. We named the pair Will and Grace.

“Township life in Bela Bela is tough and dangerous - human lives mean little, let alone the lives of animals. Most donkey owners don’t even know that animals feel pain and that they need love and care. To them, donkeys exist to serve just one purpose - transportation. They are loaded with cargo from firewood and coal, to household waste and water. They are forced to do more work than their small bodies can cope with.

“Many donkeys have never known a gentle hand or a warm place to lay their heads. With winter in full swing in South Africa, many of these donkeys won’t make it without our help. Through education and empowerment, we can make a lasting impact on the lives of these donkeys.

“We have set up a workshop in Bela Bela to manufacture safe harnesses for donkeys, and are working with a community leader, encouraging him to promote donkey welfare. We are slowly making progress. We vow not to give up.

“For the animals, “Brian and Gloria Davies (and Max and Flora!) – Founders, Network for Animals”

SPORTS PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR FARCE

We have commented in the past about the declining standard of the BBC’s annual “Sports Personality of the Year” programme over recent years, as it became the domain of “politically correct” pundits and sexually deviant commentators – but the 2020 event surely hit an all-time low.

To be sure, the cancellation of so many sporting events due to the Covid panic made the 2020 ceremony very difficult to produce – but this was no excuse for not even naming the most obvious candidate for the main “Sports Personality of the Year” award, Tao Geoghegan-Hart, on the short-list for the honour!

Two other awards were plainly ridiculous however. The “World Sports Star of the Year” went to a character named Khabib Nurmagomedov. Never heard of him? We’re not surprised! He’s a cage fighter, and cage fighting isn’t a sport, it’s a branch of the entertainment industry! Then there was the Helen Rollason Memorial Award, which is supposed to given to a sportsman or sportswoman who has displayed outstanding achievement in the face of adversity. Instead this year it was given to Captain Tom Moore, the well-meaning but extremely naïve centenarian military veteran who found fame by traipsing around his garden with a Zimmer-frame in order somehow to raise money for charity. Captain Moore’s actions may have been praiseworthy, but they were NOT sport!

All this of course is a long way from the “Sports Personality of the Year” awards when they were first presented in the 1950s. In those days the awards programme was hosted by that doyen of BBC sports presenters, Peter Dimmock, and the main award was for a British sportsman or sportswoman only, so no West Indian based in Monaco would even have been eligible. In those days the awards programme featured only three awards, all of them totally meaningful: The British Sports Personality of the Year, The British Team of the Year, and the Overseas Sports Personality of the Year. Peter Dimmock presented the ceremony with aplomb and total professionalism – but sickeningly after he retired he seemed to be “airbrushed out of history” by the BBC hierarchy, with regrettably no retrospective programme in his honour being produced after he died in 2015.

The Patriotic Forum has therefore decided to remember Peter Dimmock by initiating an annual set of sports awards to be named after him. There will only be three of these awards, the same three which were presented at the original BBC ceremonies, and for 2020 the winners were :-

British Sports Personality of the Year : Tao Geoghegan-Hart British Team of the Year : Exeter RFC Overseas Sports Personality of the Year : Mikaela Shiffrin

For 2020 these awards were arbitrarily selected by the Chairman of the Patriotic Forum, but in future years all members of the Patriotic Forum and readers of the SCN will be able to vote.

LETTER OF THANKS SENT TO PENNSYLVANIA JUDGE

One of our readers, Professor Jason Jellison, an American currently based in Thailand, has sent us a copy of a letter which he wrote to the Hon. Judge Patricia McCullough of the Pennsylvania Judicial Center [sic] congratulating her on refusing to support certification of the Pennsylvania vote in last year’s Presidential Election because of clear evidence of voting irregularities. Professor Jellison has given us permission to publish this letter which he wrote, which we publish below :-

“To The Honorable Judge Patricia McCullough & Honorable PN Judiciary Center:

“I have no way of knowing if this pleasant & humble message of thanks shall ever reach the Honorable Judge Patricia McCullough, but I wanted to thank both her and the Pennsylvania Judicial Center for taking a courageous step in preserving the sanctity of American elections. I can only imagine the pressure (and hatred) which you must be facing for taking a practical, reasonable and even-handed pause to allow time for reviewing our electoral processes in an era of irrational hatred.

“I fully confess that I am a Trump supporter and I fully confess that I have my biases. However, I have never before really been in the position where I suspected wide-spread fraud or a fundamentally unfair American Presidential election.

“Yet, tens of millions of Americans (including many whom I know that voted for Joe Biden) strongly suspect that this was not a proper election. We might be right, or we might be wrong, but it only makes sense to slow down certification for proper review in such a case like this. We cannot have Democracy unless people have faith in the voting process and our country has simply never seen so many questions or 'red flags' which have arisen after a close election.

“In the past, some of us might have wondered about Florida's hanging chads, or pro-Nixon ballots allegedly floating in Lake Michigan. However, those cases mainly involved only one state or area. In 2020, we are dealing with allegations which are fundamentally different. If they are true, and a false result leads to negation of the will of the people, then we will join our most ancient predecessors as a failure of democracy.

“Time is required for a proper investigation, but in a time when people are engaging in so much unpeaceful protest and blind hatred, I have little doubt that Judge McCullough had to find a lot of courage to do the right thing. As an American living abroad, I simply wanted to thank both her and your Judiciary Center. This was an act of great courage and integrity.

“Regardless of who serves as President, I do believe Judge McCullough and your center will go down as being on the moral, upstanding, and honorable side of history. For whatever it is worth, I commend you and thank you as a fellow countryman. It does not matter who wins; what matters is that people have confidence in all of our electoral processes.

“As a part-time foreign professor, I teach Law & Society to university Freshmen. I discovered my love for law late in life and probably will never see an American law school or formal practice. But, I have brought the love of law into many student hearts and what you did today has impressed many of my students- ...many of whom support Joe Biden, but seriously question this election's integrity and legality. On this side of the world, we can simply say that we question why some poll workers seem to have been given different levels of access and we also question electronic voting machines as they have been suspect in numerous non-American elections.

“I send my fondest prayers to all of you and, regardless of who wins this, Judge McCullough and the PN Judiciary Center did the right thing. You are heroes.

“Please forward my humble thanks to Her Honor, and I wish you all Godspeed.

“If I ever were to be judged in a court of law, I'd certainly hope that Judge McCullough was my judge because she is fair.

“Yours,

“Adjunct Prof. Jason A. Jellison,”

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.266 - Herr RALF MERZ of Hannover.

Ralf Merz made contact with us by post several years ago now, and expressed great support for what we were doing. Unfortunately he never gave any e-mail address, and correspondence sent to him at the original address which he gave us in Hannover, Germany, has recently been returned to us as he is evidently no longer resident there. If anyone knows how he can now be contacted we would therefore be most grateful to learn.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

BOB HAWKE DOWN

Sir,

The ultimate aim of the Democratic Party in the USA and the Labor Party in Australia is to set up a one-party socialist state. Bob Hawke (remember him, that philandering, lying drunkard who was such a good Labor man he destroyed the Pilots’ Federation, ended up a multi-millionaire, and as we have just learned covered up the rape of his own daughter for political purposes) once said "The Labor Party will one day become the natural party of Government". In other words, Australia would be a one-party socialist state. 90% of the American media was against Trump, so it was a wonder he got as many votes as he did. Kevin Rudd wants to get rid of the Murdoch media because they actively oppose the Labor Party and they were the only American media actively to support Trump. If it wasn't for Fox News and the Murdoch media we would be in the same position as the unfortunate citizens of Communist China and the old USSR being brainwashed with one political point of view, in Australia's case the one-sided coverage of Fairfax and the ABC.

Yours etc.,

Bob Vinnicombe, Sefton, N.S.W., Australia

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

IN THE DARK

Sir,

There was some good info’ in the November Edition of the SCN. One-third of South Africa has no electric now. Townships refuse to pay-up billions of Rands .The dark ages have come to “Azania”, or one could say darkest Africa has returned as we said it would.

Yours etc.,

Richard Windsor, Canterbury, Kent, U.K.

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

HEALTH CHECK

Sir,

Down here in Devon we have not been affected very much by Covid. In fact the numbers don’t seem to add up. One local large hospital in Torbay has in the last year had about 175 less deaths than the previous year and the registrar said locally they had registered about 300 less deaths. A large undertakers’ firm in Coventry who we know very well is having one of the quietest years ever, and last week we were at a large firm in London and they said they were not over busy. It would be good to get figures under the Freedom of Information Act from registrars of births and deaths to see how many additional deaths have actually occurred.

Yours etc.,

Caroline Nunn, Torbay, Devon, U.K.

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

GETTING DARKER

Sir,

Africa is not the Western world. All of the leaders cling to power, and if there is the faintest possibility that they will lose it they carry out a coup. I also think Ramaphosa's days are numbered. As in the Zuma case, nothing will happen to Ace Magashule; one delay after another will follow. He is also a big fan/follower of Zuma - and make no mistake, not only little Malema, but all the radicals (ANC and SACP) hate Whites. So, only God can help us in this ugly situation, but it does not mean that we must do nothing. Now with the defeat of Donald Trump (we know there was no justice) we can be sure no help will come from America. With Trump in power, there was hope. So tell your conservative followers to pray for us.

Yours etc.,

Dr. Pieter Móller, Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa.

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

REACTING TO OVER-REACTIONS

Sir,

I am in no doubt that the virus exists and that it can be fatal to older and vulnerable people, but it is certainly nothing like the 1918 Spanish Flu or the Plague. What we have seen has been a massive over-reaction, with the government interfering instead of allowing people to make their own responsible decisions. The closure of churches in particular rankles with me. I see no logic in allowing church choirs to sing and not wear masks, but not allowing congregations to sing even with masks on.

Still, I take heart from the growing rebelliousness of Tory MPs, especially as it's no just the "usual suspects". Boris could force through an extension to the lockdown using Labour votes, but it would make him look very weak.

Yours etc.,

John Petley, Heathfield, Sussex, U.K...

OBITUARY

CAROL EVESON

It was with great shock and extreme sadness that we learnt of the recent sudden death of Carol Eveson.

Carol was the wife of Dave Eveson, and actively assisted him with the running of History Society Gibraltar. Like Dave, she hailed from the Birmingham/Black Country area of Mid-Mercia, where Dave ran a very successful engineering company, before taking early retirement and moving to Gibraltar, where they both immediately became involved with several pro-Gibraltar organisations. As well as being a mainstay of History Society Gibraltar Carol was also a keen and active member of the Gibraltar Cat Welfare Society.

During trips made to Gibraltar by members of both the Springbok Club and the Patriotic Forum over recent years both Dave and Carol proved good friends and provided excellent knowledge and opportunities to explore the Rock. Carol particularly impressed with her winning smile and genuine friendship. She will be sorely missed. Our heartfelt sympathies are therefore extended to Dave and the rest of their family and fellow-members of History Society Gibraltar – and also, if they were to understand, to their cats.
