SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
June 2018 edition
Following the magic year of 2016 when patriotic forces were triumphant throughout the West, from New Zealand through Brexit Britain to the United States, 2017 alas proved a big disappointment. There were high hopes that elections both in the Netherlands and in France would produce similar swings towards patriotic sentiments as in the Anglosphere the previous year, but sadly this was not to be. Even though Emmanuel Macron has initially proved a somewhat better President of France than we ever dared to hope, he has still been found wanting on the two most important issues facing the French nation, namely continuing EU entrapment and the increasing number of alien migrants being allowed to enter and remain in the country.
It was therefore expected that 2018 would produce the same disappointments as 2017, certainly as far as the great European nation-states were concerned. The result of the Italian General Election earlier this year happily proved this prediction wrong however! In spite of the fact that it has taken the triumphant patriotic parties months to get their act together, and although the EU powers did their best to control the actions of the Italian President, a new right-wing popularist government has now at last been sworn in, which is both EuroSceptic and firmly opposed to the migrant invasion. Although many commentators try to portray the 5-Star Movement (the largest single party in the new government) as “of the left”, the reality is that this party is more anarchist-inclined than socialist, and furthermore is probably the most EuroSceptic party of them all. La Lega (The League) certainly caused many misgivings in its earlier incarnation as La Lega Nord (The Northern League) as they were then clearly splittists who hoped that the northern regions of Italy would breakaway from the rest of the country – thus helping fulfil a basic aim of the EU hierarchy in “Balkanising” Europe into smaller and more controllable statelets. Now that La Lega has re-branded itself and has dropped all the splittist nonsense it has become far more acceptable, and indeed has found that its other policies have gained it significant support in the south of the country!
The combined vote obtained by the patriotic parties was over 70% (32.5% for the 5-Star Movement, 17.5% for La Lega, 14% for Forza Italia and 8% for smaller patriotic parties) – a truly phenomenal achievement. Already the new Italian government has pledged to repatriate at least half-a-million unwanted alien migrants as soon as possible, and the idea of Italy leaving the Euro monetary zone is now firmly on the table – a move which could then inextricably lead to “Itexit”! The future for Italy – indeed the future for the whole of the European continent - therefore seems to be electrifying!
There have been those who have maintained that Europe’s salvation will come from Hungary and other small eastern European states such as Poland and the Czech Republic. Although we have nothing but admiration for Viktor Orban and his government in Hungary, and indeed for their Czech and Polish counterparts, the fact remains that these are only very small countries with no real influence or global power. Italy however is different. Not only is Italy a relatively large industrial power, but it has also constantly “punched above its weight” in the international arena – including having established its own Empire during the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Libya and the Horn of Africa, Britain of course led the struggle for the freedom of the great European nation-states with its glorious Brexit vote in 2016, but alas since then leadership has been sadly lacking. Italy, however, now seems to have a fully committed patriotic government in place, which can therefore lead the renewed charge against the egalitarian EU establishment.
We do however still foresee a serious problem confronting the new Italian government, as their praiseworthy aim of repatriating their illegal migrant swarm may prove to be far easier said than done. Italy has been the main route into Europe used by the migrant hordes, simply because of Italy’s close proximity to Libya – and of course since the deposing of the the tyrannical Libyan madman Gadaffi, and the failure of the Western powers to remain on the ground in that sorry land in order to establish order, the country has descended into pure anarchy. If migrants are to be returned there then under present conditions there will be nothing to stop them returning over and over again. Libya was of course an Italian colony from 1911 until Imperial responsibility was abdicated in 1953 (albeit that in reality the WWII Allies controlled the country from 1943 onwards), so if Italy was to have the courage to re-establish its former colonial role and to control its coastline then the migrant’s route back into Europe would be eliminated. Will the new Italian Government have the vision and daring to take such a step we wonder? If so then they will receive the thanks and admiration of all the peoples of Europe. VIVA l’ITALIA!

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
Details of the Springbok Club’s June meeting are as follows :-
Date : Tuesday 19th June 2018
Time : assemble from 13.00 hrs onwards, meeting to commence at 13.30 hrs.
Venue: THE ANTELOPE (the upstairs “Snug Room”), 22 Eaton Terrace, Belgravia, London SW1W 8EZ
(nearest tube station: Sloane Square - turn right out of the main entrance, then right into the north side of Sloane Square which becomes Cliveden Place, then finally left into Eaton Terrace where The Antelope is on the left).
Guest Speaker : Mr. ANTHONY “TONY” WILLIAMS BA (Hons)
- who will speak on the theme of “Patriotism in the modern era: An Australian perspective”
Tony Williams was born at Birmingham in 1956 and educated at Wylde Green College, Warwick, and Colchester Royal Grammar School. His father, a staunch patriot, served with distinction in Bomber Command during WWII and founded a successful wine and spirits importing and wholesale company. Tony pursued further education at the College for the Distributive Trades in Leicester Square where he obtained diplomas in Applied Economics, Marketing, Law and Accounts. Following on in his father’s trade he founded and became director of several wine and spirit wholesale and retail companies, obtaining exclusive agencies for wine products from France, Germany and South Africa, as well as beer brands from The Netherlands and Bulgaria. He became the largest importer of lager into the UK, for which his company received the Anglo-Dutch Award for Enterprise presented by Margaret Thatcher. After a takeover by a major UK brewery Tony completed post-graduate studies at Brighton University before emigrating to Australia, where he now lives with his wife and family in Canberra, and works as a clinical therapist at a private medical centre.
He joined and was active in the National Front (then still a mainstream and democratic party) in 1973, and was also a keen member of several other patriotic and pro-Rhodesian and pro-South African organisations. He was a member of the famous party of five [then] young British patriots who toured Rhodesia in 1976 in order to express their solidarity with the Rhodesian people. During this trip he met the Hon. Ian Douglas Smith and several other leading Rhodesian personalities, and was interviewed on RTV by Harvey Ward. He also visited South Africa during the 1980s when he spoke at meetings of the HNP in Johannesburg and the Patriotic Forum in Durban. A skilled public speaker, he has also spoken at a meeting of the Kent Branch of the Rhodesians Worldwide organisation. His main interests are classical history, poetry and travel.

----------------------------
The Springbok Club has again been asked to participate in the annual “Raising of the Flag” ceremony in Norfolk. This year this important and inspiring event has been scheduled for Sunday 16th September, and as this will be the first such ceremony since the sad death of Mr. Peter Sladden (who initiated the continuation of this annual ceremony which previously took place at Cecil Square, Salisbury, Rhodesia) it will therefore be staged in special honour of his memory. We ask all supporters to diarise this date therefore, and to make every effort to attend this year’s event.
[ In view of the importance of this year’s “Raising of the Flag” ceremony, and the fact that the Springbok Club has been asked to take a leading role in organising the event and ensuring that it will be a success, it has therefore been decided to suspend Springbok Club activities for July and August in order to concentrate upon this great honour and responsibility.]

MESSAGE FROM NETWORK FOR ANIMALS
We have recently received the following most important and worrying message from the Network for Animals organisation -
“76 ELEPHANTS ARE MURDERED EVERY DAY.- HELP US SAVE THEM!
“Poachers are wiping African elephants from the face of the earth. They are killing 27,000 wild elephants every year. If this continues the last wild African elephant will die in 2030.
“The poachers use every evil trick in the book to get elephant tusks. They end up in China to be carved into ornaments. Right now, as we write this, 76 elephants are suffering horrible deaths EVERY SINGLE DAY. Elephants are shot, hacked to death and poisoned. We need your help to stop this.
“The Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa is one of the elephants’ last hopes. Addo’s elephant population is growing, because of the dedication of the rangers who protect them. Addo could be the elephants last stand and I promise we will be there fighting beside the brave men and women who put their lives on the line for elephants.
“Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we were able to give Addo a sophisticated drone to detect poachers from the skies. The elephants will be under aerial observation day and night, making the world a little bit safer for those who need our help so badly.
“If we are going to keep elephants safe at Addo, there’s a lot of work to be done. We want to build new accommodation for poacher-tracking dogs and buy sophisticated equipment to monitor poaching hot-spots. This is a fight we must win, so, please, if you can, give generously to Network for Animals today so our grandchildren know what an elephant is.
“For the animals,
“Brian Davies, Founder.
“P.S. Addo has a special place in my heart because 20 years ago our organization donated today’s equivalent of $4-million to Addo for the purchase of additional land for elephants. It was the start of a process that has seen Addo become an important sanctuary. Now with your help, I will be able to make sure it stays that way.”

THE CASE OF PADDY JACKSON AND STUART OLDING
As most readers will be aware, the Ulster and Ireland Rugby Union internationals Paddy Jackson and Stuart Olding were charged with rape last year, and were suspended from playing for both province and country until the conclusion of their trial. At their trial they were both found Not Guilty by a unanimous verdict of the jury (which significantly contained three women), and that we would have thought would have been the end of the matter.
But no, in spite of the verdict both the IRFU and Ulster Rugby decided to impose life bans against both players – the reason being that certain crude and repulsive text messages were found on their mobile ‘phones and revealed in court. We do not wish to excuse these vile comments of course, but surely this was a “yellow card” offence and not a “red card” one? Worryingly, however, it would seem that these unfortunate decisions of the IRFU and Ulster Rugby were greatly influenced by threats of disruption from more militant supporters of the “Me Too” campaign.
Subsequent to their controversial life bans both Stuart Olding and Paddy Jackson have been given contracts to play for French Rugby Union clubs next season, clubs which do not seem to be nearly as scared of demonstrations by militant feminists as the IRFU and Ulster Rugby alas seem to be. We wish both players every success at their new French clubs, but also hope that they will both express genuine and unequivocal remorse for the obscene text messages which they sent and any inadvertent offence which they may have caused to the women involved – and also hope that the IRFU and Ulster Rugby will eventually reconsider their draconian life bans.

LAUREN SOUTHERN – A CORRECTION
In last month’s edition of the SCN we stated that Lauren Southern, the journalist who produced an excellent and informative YouTube video exposing the reality of the quasi-genocide campaign currently being conducted against the South African farming community under the rule of the ANC regime, was American. We have subsequently been informed, however, that Ms. Southern is actually Canadian. Furthermore our supporter who informed us of this fact is evidently in direct contact with Ms. Southern, and has promised to extend an invitation to her to address a Springbok Club meeting next time that she visits the UK. Once again, this eye-opening video can be viewed at :-

------------------------------------------------------------------
TAU (SA) MEDIA RELEASE
We have recently received a further most important Media Release from the Transvaal Agricultural Union (South Africa) which we believe is of equal importance to that which we circulated last month, and should be re-circulated as widely as possible. It reads as follows :-
“TAU SA has taken note with concern that the authority of president Cyril Ramaphosa has been challenged publicly and in an organised manner with the land invasions of the past weekend.
“Mr Louis Meintjes, president of TAU SA, says that this action was clearly organised after president Ramaphosa promised that such invasions will not be tolerated. ‘What is of greater concern is that Mr Ramaphosa’s own officials who are members of the law enforcement agencies, undermined him by refusing in several cases to act against the illegal occupiers.’
“Furthermore Mr Meintjes draws attention to the fact that the illegal occupiers of land are upset because they don’t have access to land for housing. ‘They don’t want to farm and they don’t want to produce food, but they demand appropriate housing. This is not agriculture’s problem and therefore local government authorities should address the problem, instead of threatening farmers to expropriate their property without compensation. Local government has access to available land on which proper housing could be built, without using valuable agricultural land for that purpose’, Mr Meintjes said.”

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.235 - Mr. HAROLD DRINN of Durban.
Harold Drinn ran Durban’s leading firearms retailers at Convent Lane in the centre of the city. Always a most polite and approachable retailer, he was always ready to give advice about the purchase of guns and firearm accessories, as well as giving advise on matters of gun safety. Incredibly we have heard rumour that he is still operating, even under the strict firearm regulations imposed by the current ANC regime. We wonder whether anyone can confirm that this is actually the case?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
RECOMMENDED WEB-SITE OF THE MONTH
A supporter from the United States has recently informed us about a most interesting web-site entitled “Refugee Resettlement Watch” which advocates that White South Africans should be granted refugee status so that they can re-settle in the United States in order to escape the chaos and quasi-genocide campaign being waged against them in the “new” South Africa. This web-site is well worth a view, and can be accessed at :-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
SPOT THE DIFFERENCE
Sir,
Well the “new broom” Cyril Ramaphosa who was going to change everything certainly put his foot in it. One of his first statements even before he became the country’s president was “We will take the land”. Nothing ambiguous about that! Now Julius Malema, a simpleton in a suit and Ramaphosal’s new political sidekick and about-to-be co-leader and kingmaker in South Africa, is doing what Ramaphosa said. Now Ramaphosa says it’s “criminal” to grab land but he’s clearly forgotten what he said a few months ago?
What a bunch! Trump can add South Africa to his list of sh1thole countries. Perhaps it was already on the list!!
Yours etc.,
G.G.R., Transvaal, South Africa.
----------------------------
THE BLACK AND BLUE NATION
Sir,
How right you are that I relocate my wife and myself to the UK, far away as possible from this sh1thole, about to implode with White genocide!!!
Not to unduly alarm you, but since I last wrote I have been attacked and severely beaten by zots, on two occasions. I hold at my disposal photos of my face as proof. Reason: because I’m White!! Following the second mob attack, I was going to make an urgent application for asylum, but reached the conclusion I'm not a radicalized Muslim, and my application/request would be denied.
Yours etc.,
W.V., Durban, Natal, South Africa.
[ We can assure you that you will have infinitely more chance of being granted asylum to settle in the UK than any Muslim – radicalized or not! – Ed.]
----------------------------
WINNIE THE POO
Sir,
Winnie Mandela has died. The world has just become a better place!
Yours etc.,
H.K.H., Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa.
----------------------------
TRUE AUSTRALIAN
Sir,
I loved the photographs of the Patriotic Forum’s Australia Day celebration at the bust of Admiral Arthur Phillip. I can assure you I fly three flags from my balcony...the Australian Flag, the Tasmanian Flag and the Union Flag.
Yes, there is too much nowadays on aboriginal culture - it has got to the stage where they are now projected a “superior” people. This is not only supported and promoted by the Left and the internationalists, but also by the so-called “conservatives” in power. It is a disease that is affecting the Western world.
Yours etc.,
Reg A.Watson, Lindisfarne, Tasmania, Australia..
----------------------------
CREEPY CHRIS
Sir,
I knew Chris Luke (see May 2018 SCN – Ed.) well enough; generally a nice chap and politically sound, but there was always something somewhat “creepy” about him. He was obviously a troubled man, and the dramatic way in which he outed himself as a homosexual will never be forgotten. He was, of course, associated with the notorious Mike Keith-Smith, who before his suicide also outed himself as having had homosexual relationships during his university years, and also with Allan Robertson, formerly involved with the Swinton Circle, and also having been revealed as a BNP supporter.
Yours etc.,
Phil Young, Hertfordshire, U.K.

ROGUES GALLERY
We have recently unfortunately been experiencing some very nasty, offensive and irrational attacks on a private FaceBook thread from two individuals calling themselves Stephen N. Green and Richard Curry, though the suspicion is that both of these are “sock-puppet” names – and perhaps only one person is behind them both.
The name of Stephen N. Green (definitely NOT the same person as the Stephen Green who runs Christian Voice) was used previously when we received similar inexplicable attacks on the now discontinued Friends of the Quarterly Review FaceBook group, but the name of Richard Curry – who has issued some quite infantile threats of physical violence - is completely new to us. Green’s FaceBook page gives very little information about him, but Curry’s claims that he was once a lecturer at the University of Exeter – though significantly there is no reference to him on the University of Exeter’s web-page!
Both entities claim to know a lot about the Swinton Circle (now of course merged with New Britain to form today’s Patriotic Forum) and its leading officials , yet nobody involved with the organisation knows anything about them, and their names do not appear on any of the organisations’ membership records. Significantly, however, both of them speak approvingly of the notorious Allan Robertson, even though – as long-standing readers will be aware – Robertson was expelled from the organisation for gross misconduct way back in January 2009, following a failed coup attempt on his part to seize control of the organisation the previous year/
There was actually originally a third person involved in this paranoid hate campaign who went under the name of Christopher Day (probably also a “sock-puppet” name), but mysteriously all postings made under this name were suddenly deleted. It may also be significant that all those involved in these irrational attacks seem to harbour a paranoid dislike for the anti-fascist magazine Searchlight - though it has been our experience in the past that all those who express such a conspiratorial attitude towards this obscure publication actually have something to hide!
We wonder therefore if anyone knows anything about these sinister characters or what their true identities are, and also why they should be inexplicably attacking complete strangers in this way? Needless to say, any information which could be provided in this regard will be treated with the utmost confidentiality.
