SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
June 2013 edition
The recent terrorist murder of Drummer Lee Rigby by Islamic fanatics in Woolwich sickened and angered all decent people. It was however yet another example of the ongoing battle of aggression being waged against the West by adherents of the Mohammedan religion.
Make no bones about it, ever since the beginnings of this desert cult it has been its aim to conquer and subjugate the world. This was manifested in its early years when Arab hordes swept across north Africa and up into Europe in the Iberian Peninsula and Sicily Europe through the Balkans aiming to conquer and to enslave, and were only stopped at the gates of Vienna Bali , Madrid Boston Paris
In 1968 John Enoch Powell predicted that “rivers of blood” would flow through the streets of Britain UK UK 22nd May 2013 Enoch Powell’s prediction was vividly enacted on the streets of Woolwich.
The response of the authorities to this savage and inhuman atrocity alas left a lot to be desired. Instead of announcing steps to resolve the cause of the tragedy by removing all Islamic fundamentalists from the UK, they instead talked about the evil murderers not being representative of the majority of Muslims, and how the “whole community” should stand together to condemn the crime. The tragic fate of Drummer Lee Rigby seemed forgotten, and the religion which spewed the mindset which led to his unprovoked slaughter exonerated. Such sentiments from practically all sections of authority were obscene. It was rather like the Vichy authorities in France stating after the massacre of Oradour-sur-Glane that the Gestapo were not representative of all Nazis and that the “whole community” of French Resistance fighters and invading Nazis alike should stand together to condemn division, whilst forgetting the actual fate of the 642 innocent civilians who were killed.
Even more reprehensible of the authorities has been their reaction to acts of retribution carried out by outraged British citizens. These retaliatory acts – which undoubtedly have been more widespread than the national media is prepared to admit – have been both natural and understandable. Some sections of authority, however, have seen fit to condemn these predictable reactions in the same vein as their condemnation of the actual terrorist atrocity itself. Such a comparison is sickening in the extreme. If the authorities are not prepared to eradicate the danger by removing all undesirable Muslims from the country then they shouldn’t be surprised if ordinary citizens start to do something positive to defend their communities and protect their fellow-countrymen in their place.

VERY OBSERVANT LETTER FROM ROY
Our very good friend and supporter Roy Painter recently had the following most observant letter published in the Welwyn & Hatfield Times:-
Sir,
Your excellent report (p13, January 23), on the planning row once again fuelled my anxious trepidation concerning the urgent increasing need for more housing in east Herts and our surrounding areas.
This entirely predictable crisis in Hertfordshire and the whole of the UK which all previous governments, national and local, have cravenly refused to address over last 30 years is yet another symptom of, ignore it, it might go away.
Many housing ministers have attempted political party enhancing solutions to this unsolvable housing crisis but all without honestly addressing why the problem exists.
An unprecedented 15/20 million increases to our population since 1948 and rising exponentially especially in the last 15 years, cannot be ignored.
No amount of construction in the next 20 years will ever begin to meet even 10% of demand.
Given our seemingly inability to stop this rapid increase in population it is a logistical impossibility and a deceit of the highest order for any government to promise it can build its way out of this impenetrable impasse.
Facts unquestionably demonstrate there is no realistic foreseeable solution other than honestly addressing the core problem of this increasing demand. The only pragmatic solution is for the Government to show courageous political action with an immediate moratorium on immigration, coupled with 10 years of UK
It will mean defying the ECHR, but national interests must take priority.
Governments must acknowledge than an out of control increasing population places ever more undeliverable demands on national and local resources.
Further house building equals endless extra infrastructure, schools, hospitals, sewers, shops, roads, energy demands, food supplies, placing even greater unaffordable and completely unsustainable financial demands on rates and taxes.
Considering the past and now increasing rate of immigration, and that most newcomers are of family rearing age who traditionally have larger families, an increasing aging population and more single parents, means ever escalating demands for additional dwellings and welfare benefits.
Add to that the potential arrival of millions of Romanians and Bulgarians who will have the right to reside here from January 1st 2014 , which can only fuel the immediate uncertainty for the next generation.
To emphasize the enormity of the situation then just consider this. Given our proximity to the ever expanding population and consequent growing conurbation of north/east London
Private and/or social, it matters not a jot.
The green fields from Potters Bar to Hatfield and beyond will be concreted over within the foreseeable future.
Once gone, it will be lost for all eternity and how will we explain that away to our grandchildren?
The above, of course, is conscience-troubling, but nevertheless, unarguable reality. The electors’ concern should be, will the Government or local councillors be brave enough to confront them with complete honesty?

"P.K. VAN DER BYL - AFRICAN STATESMAN" by Hannes Wessels
ISBN: 978-1-920143-49-7 / paperback / illustrated
Retail price: R250.00, Web-site price: R200.00 + postage
The narrative gives the reader an overview of the history of the White man in southern Africa with detailed emphasis on the Rhodesian story through the life and times of PK van der Byl, one of the major players in a political drama that ended in the accession to power of Robert Mugabe under the auspices of the British government. By his very nature PK was controversial and confrontational. This account is likely to give offence to some because it portrays him as bluntly as he was in real life. Much can be contested about PK van der Byl but few will dispute he was an extremely colourful character with a devilish sense of humour. This memoir covers his life with a full flourish while doing nothing to detract from the seriousness of the international political and military conflict in which he was engaged. The reader will glean new information on a highly controversial subject and emerge with a more sympathetic understanding of what PK van der Byl and his colleagues did and strove for. The human tragedy that has followed the removal from power of Ian Smith and his Rhodesian Front party will almost certainly force the reader to deal with some uncomfortable conclusions, of value to anyone sincere about grappling with the volatile and deeply troubling challenges that confront all Africans today.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THREE STRIKES AND YOU’RE OUT
Sir,
Tony Erenreich of COSATU seems to be trying to make it as difficult for Helen Zille and the Democratic Alliance to govern the Western Cape
The threats of farm labourers' strikes and demands for higher wages are going to have a devastating effect on the South African economy. With an increase in fuel prices, toll roads and other economic pressures, inflation is expected to rise sharply in the year ahead. Sadly, ignorance and poor education on the part of most voters inhibits their understanding of economics, so we are heading for escalating political unrest this year.
Yours etc.,
Johan Geelvink, Pretoria Transvaal , South Africa
----------------------------
SANCTIONS BUSTER
Sir,
I was in the audience at the NFT for the showing of "Mugabe: Villain or Hero?", but did not join in the standing ovation at the end. I will only put one open question to Mugabe's apologists: Ian Smith's Rhodesia Zimbabwe
Yours etc.,
M. Taylor London , U.K.
----------------------------
SCHOOLBOY ERROR
Sir,
Graham “Basher” Downes (whose death was reported in last months SCN – Ed.) was not only a great South African – he was also an example of why South Africa
He obtained careers guidance whilst still at school, and then pursued his chosen profession of architecture through university, and even after being forced to leave his beloved South Africa because of the new dispensation sought and found a new life in the United States, where as a result of his expert training quickly managed to establish a successful leading architects company in a new country. What other country could boast such academic achievement? If only it was the same today.
Yours etc.,
“Glenwood Old Boy”, San Diego , California , U.S.A.

OBITUARY
NICK MAINE
It was with great sadness that we recently learnt of the death of Nick Maine of Queensland Australia New Guinea
After the end of hostilities he threw himself into national life, becoming a Justice of the Peace in his home state of Queensland UK South Africa
We had the honour of meeting Nick in person on two occasions when he visited the UK after we were forced to re-locate from South Africa, and were highly impressed with his great energy (he was then already well over 70), Imperial patriotism and dedication to the cause. He spoke at a Springbok Club meeting in London Australia
In latter life Nick abandoned real-life political activism however, and devoted his energies to Internet communications. Alas however, maybe because of his advancing age, his on-line activities increasingly revealed three detrimental faults. He became chronically pessimistic not only about the future but also falsely about the present (even claiming that both Sydney and Brisbane already had majority non-White populations!); he tried to ride two horses at once, openly admitting that he was a member of both the Australian One Nation party and the Australia First party at the same time (as a result of course neither party would trust him), and stated to re-circulate cranky conspiracy theory nonsense side-by-side with far more sensible material via his e-mail circulation list. As a result of these three regrettable errors Nick’s efforts in later life alas proved worse than useless for the patriotic cause which he tried to advance.
In spite of these unfortunate failings in latter life we choose to remember the Nick Maine who was – the true and genuine Imperial patriotic activist who fought for the cause of his kith and kin on three continents. His domestic life was apparently very complex, but our sincere condolences are extended to all who were near and dear to him.
