November 2020 edition
Although the international media would have everyone believe that Joe Biden has definitely been elected as the next President of the United States, and that President Donald Trump’s refusal to concede defeat is nonsensical, reports which we have been receiving from many people based in the US paint a very different picture. These reports, we hasten to add, have been both numerous and have come from several independent sources, and have emanated both from social media and via personal e-mails.
It seems crystal clear that many irregularities took place in both the casting and the counting of postal votes in this year’s US Presidential Election, particularly in several of the key states. Reports have been made, backed-up by sworn testimonies, of boxes of postal votes turning up mysteriously and late, all containing votes for the Biden/Kamala Harris ticket, votes being registered for dead and non-existent people, and of GOP vote observers not being allowed to witness the count of postal ballots taking place. If such reports only involved small numbers of votes, or if these irregularities only occurred in a single or a couple of states then it would not be a matter of serious concern – but if claims are to be believed these cases of vote-rigging were both massive and systematic. Quite clearly something stinks here, and until full investigations and court decisions take place then the result of the election should not be called.
But 2020 was not the first case of a US Presidential Election being rigged. In 1960 JFK only won by 84 electoral college votes, but it was subsequently acknowledged that the votes in two states which were controlled by powerful Donkey Party big-wigs, Illinois (with its then 27 electoral college votes) where Dick Daley, the Chicago “big city boss”, had overwhelming influence over the electoral process, and Texas (with its then 24 electoral college votes) where Kennedy’s Veep running-mate, Lyndon Johnson, had almost complete control over the state’s administration. If both states had been declared for the Nixon/Lodge ticket, as in reality was almost certainly the case, then Richard Nixon would have been the 35th rather than the 37th POTUS. Alas Nixon proved to be not so much “Tricky Dickie” as “cowardly Dickie”, and didn’t possess the backbone to challenge the rigged votes. As a result not only was the US subjected to eight years of Kennedy/Johnson liberal social policies, but the example of how easy it was to rig a Presidential Election served as an awful precedent for a similar Donkey Party steal 60 years later. It is of course also interesting to note that the Donkey Party candidates at both these controversial elections were devout Roman Catholics with strong Irish nationalist backgrounds, who harboured extreme anti-British sentiments.
It is surely important that not only should the US electoral process be free and fair, but that it should be seen to be free and fair – and that most certainly is not the case at present. At the time of writing the State of Georgia has already announced that there will be a full re-count after the astonishing result there, and the bare minimum which should be demanded is that similar re-counts should take place in all the states where the result was close and there have been substantiated claims of irregularities. In those states where the most damning accusations of vote riggings have been made then all postal votes should be examined to confirm their validity, and if this proves to be impossible then a complete re-run of that state’s election should take place, with no postal votes being allowed except in the most exceptional and authentic cases.
There are those of course who argue that the stipulations of the US constitution state that the dates for Electoral College voting and the Presidential Inauguration are “set in stone”, and that there therefore isn’t time to stage any re-runs – but this is not the case. Up until 1933 the dates of the Electoral College votes were chosen independently each electoral cycle, and the Presidential Inauguration took place on 4th March (or the day after) every time. It was only in 1937 that the date was pushed forward to 20th January (or the day after). There is therefore nothing unacceptable in pushing the Presidential Inauguration back again until 4th March so that the necessary re-runs can take place. If the US authorities fail to do this and allow the controversial Biden/Kamala Harris ticket to take office following an election result which substantial numbers of people are convinced was fraudulent, then the United States would become the laughing stock of the Western World, and respect for the US worldwide would diminish substantially accordingly.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
Alas, the continuing “lockdown” lunacy in the UK has meant that the Springbok Club was not able to celebrate UDI Day as usual this year, although several individual members managed to celebrate this important date in their own way.
Provisional plans are however being taken to celebrate the Day of the Vow in London during December, though this alas still depends upon all the draconian “lockdown” regulations being lifted by then. The Springbok Club is furthermore already working on an exciting itinerary of events for 2021.

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS
Needless to say the ongoing “lockdown” nonsense has also continued to hamper Patriotic Forum activities. It is still hoped that an on-line Zoom event can be organised before the end of the year however, and an impressive line-up of potential guest speakers has already been assembled for 2021.

REPORT FROM THE NETWORK FOR ANIMALS
We have recently received the following most disturbing report from the Network for Animals organisation, which reads as follows :-
“In the dangerous slums of Mitchells Plain, South Africa (Cape Town), poverty and desperation are part of the daily fabric of life. But now with fear of COVID-19 added to the mix, havoc reigns – and animals are suffering more than ever. We (they!) need your help today!
”What we are about to tell you is so horrific that it is difficult to write these words. THEY ARE BURYING DOGS ALIVE!
“Our team was alerted by South Africa’s Animal Welfare Society (AWS) to this appalling evil. It's heartbreaking, but it seems some people are taking their corona lockdown frustration out on street dogs, and that some individuals find it easier to bury a dog alive then get the poor creature proper care. It may sound incredible, but we deal with things like this every day.
“In one case, a brindle pit-bull had its back deliberately broken and was then buried alive. The dog, who we named Rex, was waist-deep in sand, crying out in fear and pain as he tried and failed to free himself.
“The team carefully dug Rex out and noticed the dog was unable to stand. Rex was given emergency medical treatment, but his spine was completely severed. Sadly, Rex's life could not be saved, and he had to be peacefully put to sleep. AWS has opened a case of animal cruelty and an investigation is underway.
“But this is not an isolated case - every time we go into the poor shanty towns of South Africa, we are inundated with sick, injured and hungry street dogs. Not all the dogs are victims of such extreme cruelty as Rex was, but beatings, kicking and casual cruelty are common.
”Plus, the dogs are hungry - many free services have closed down because of the crashing economy caused by COVID-19.
”The demands on our team are almost overwhelming. Only with the help of animal lovers can we step up and deal with this appalling suffering.
“Sadly, we could not save Rex, but we save others every day. As you read this, street dogs are being helped by our team - they are getting food, they are being rescued and we are providing them with emergency medical care.
“With your help, we will intensify our efforts in the slum areas and stop cruelty in its tracks. We can do it, but we need your help to do so. Any small amount you donate will go towards rescue missions for abused dogs, food and medicine.
“For the animals,
“Brian and Gloria Davies (and Max and Flora!) – Founders, Network for Animals”

HOISTED BY HIS OWN PETARD!
On 9th November Greg Clarke resigned as Chairman of the Football Association following controversy over certain remarks which he made to the Parliamentary Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee. The remarks which were objected to, apparently by other FA officials, all seemed to be totally innocuous however, and included 1) referring to “Coloured footballers” (for those ignoramuses who are unaware the term “Coloured” is the grammatically correct term for a person of mixed White and Negro blood, and so as a high proportion of foreign soccer players currently playing in the English game do have mixed White and Negro blood Clarke was therefore quite correct in making this observation), 2) saying that South Asians and “Afro-Caribbean people” have “different career interests” (what’s wrong in that?) and 3) stating that being homosexual was a life-choice (isn’t this true?).
Before we start to feel too sorry for Greg Clarke however, let us remember that it was under his watch that some of the most diabolical manifestations of leftist “political correctness” were imposed upon English Association Football. The most disgusting example of this was of course the insistence that all Premier League players bear the highly objectionable “Black Lives Matter” slogan of the US Marxist rioters and looters on the backs of their shirts. Clarke’s term of office also involved a period when it seemed to be the intention of English FA management to select as many non-English players to play for the England national teams as possible. All that has happened now is that Clarke has been hoisted by his own “politically correct” petard. He deserves no sympathy whatsoever.

LATEST SOUTH AFRICAN NEWS
The leader of the Democratic Alliance in “Gauteng” (the Pretoria, Witwatersrand, Vaal Triangle area) John Moodey dramatically resigned his post recently, claiming that the current dominant faction within the party was trying to create another apartheid regime. If true then many South Africans of all races would of course rejoice, but it is worth remembering that the Democratic Alliance was formed by a merger between the ultra-Leftist Progressive Federal Party and the sell-out National Party – the former being fanatically opposed to the policy of separate development (apartheid) and the latter which abolished this policy! Moodey’s claim is therefore bizarre in the extreme, but simply seems to confirm that the “new” South Africa has now descended from chaos and disaster into total farce.

DID THE QUEEN WEAR A FLAME-LILY BROACH?
A number of our supporters have informed us that they seemed to observe that HM The Queen was wearing a broach to attach her poppies on Remembrance Sunday this year which bore the Rhodesian Flame-Lily design. Was this just a chance selection by Her Majesty’s dresser who was unaware of the significance we wonder, or was Her Majesty trying to send a subliminal message? Her own Mother was of course a strong though circumspect supporter of the Hon. Ian Douglas Smith and the Rhodesian cause, so has Her Majesty late in life come to realise that it was her Mother rather than her political advisors who was right? Alas we will probably never know.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.264 – Ms. JO KINDER of Cincinnati
Jo Kinder from Cincinnati in Ohio used to edit a publication entitled Copperhead Update (named after those Northerners who supported the Confederate cause during the First American Civil War). She also made good and supportive contact with our movement during the final days when we were still based in South Africa, and indeed maintained friendly and mutually beneficial contact with us for the following decade or so. Unfortunately her copy of the latest edition of The Imperial Patriot which was sent to her has been returned as she is evidently no longer known at her last known address. If anyone can inform us where she can now be contacted then we would of course be most grateful.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
HASTA LA VISTA
Sir,
Andrew Hastie MP is good, one of the very few Liberal Party politicians who will say what he believes. Most of them, as you know, just mouth the party line and are a waste of space. I can vouch for Andrew Hastie – an ex military man who served in Afghanistan.
Yours etc.,

WHITE RUSSIANS
Sir,
Well said in the editorial of your September Edition! Last year I taught a charming and intelligent girl with a Scottish dad and a Belarus mum. Lukashenko is better than any 'maidan' alternative (like the crooks Biden and Obama foisted on Ukraine by way of a manufactured coup). The lunatics in the NATO West seem to want to push Russia into war by constant moves against her borders. They hate Putin for not pushing the homosexual anti-family and anti-Christian agenda. The mask lunacy continues and our economy will be destroyed. Who benefits? Gates, Bezos, et al? Very sad. Shame we don't have a Maggie to give them what's for.
Yours etc.,

WE FOUND A WITCH!
Sir,
I’ve just spotted your July edition and your request for information about Deborah “Debbie” Toms. I’m afraid I have some bad news for you.
I believe that you knew Debbie Toms when she and the rest of her family, as well as me, were heavily involved with the Save Rhodesia Campaign during the late 1970s. Although I don’t know where she is now, I’m afraid that by the early 1980s she had become involved with a really nasty crowd of druggies, homosexuals – and yes, satanists.
Apparently she was introduced to this crowd by a woman who she worked with at Isaacs Geshin, whose brother was the leading presence of this set-up. I never knew her real name, but she was always known as “Pinocchio” because of her long pointed nose. She looked like a witch, and probably was a witch!
Yours etc.,
“Save Rhodesia”, Durban, Natal, South Africa.

DEATH WISH
Sir,
White people are still being killed due to the colour of the skin

THE “NEW” SOUTH AFRICA AS IT REALLY IS
Sir,
A couple of days ago I came across a video entitled ‘Australian Patriot Warns of Planned Genocide in South Africa’ (https://youtu.be/PehxRBI4_bA). It was dated two weeks ago and warned that there was soon going to be mass murder and genocide of the Whites in South Africa. All communication would be cut including the Internet, meaning that victims would be unable to summon help - if there was any, knowing how corrupt and useless the Police are. My friend Patrick who runs a charity, Farmers Aid tells me that the savages will be going through the Provinces and that they are starting to ‘’clean up’ the Free State first. It’s an utterly horrific scenario.
I have forwarded the video with a covering email to the mainstream media here (6 newspapers plus the BBC Newsdesk). I have also sent it to the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo and to Dan Crenshaw an aide to Donald Trump. I’m not holding out any hopes of success but I cannot just sit and do nothing.
Patrick also sent me a photograph and details of a farm attack which I was able to post on Facebook. I’m hoping that he will send more. They come from News24 - I was subscribed to it at one time but somehow my subscription lapsed. I must try to put that right.
I shall continue to do everything in my power to make the world aware of what is happening in South Africa
Yours etc.,
Jane Webster, Bath, Somerset, U.K...

OBITUARY
JOHN “J.J.” WILLIAMS
It was with much sadness that we learnt of the recent death of John James Williams – known universally simply as “J.J.Williams” - at the age of only 72.
J.J.Williams was born near Maesteg and excelled at school, particularly in sports. He first competed internationally at Athletics, representing Wales in all the sprint events at the 1970 British Empire and Commonwealth Games. But it was in Rugby Union that he found his international fame.
He first played for Bridgend, before moving to Llanelli in order to be with the legendry coach Carwyn James. Almost immediately after this move he came to the notice of the Welsh selectors and won his first international cap in 1973. From then onwards his rise was meteoric. Because of his electric speed he proved a natural wing three-quarter, but was also renowned for chipping the ball over oncoming opponents to avoid being tackled, then collecting the ball to score uncontested tries. He played a total of 30 internationals for Wales – which included participating in four Five Nations triumphs and two Grand Slam titles – scoring 12 tries. He was also selected for the famous 1974 British Lions Tour of South Africa, where he played in all four Tests and scored four tries, and for the 1977 British Lions Tour of New Zealand where he played in three Tests.
It should be remembered that at the time of the 1974 British Lions tour South Africa still enjoyed civilised rule, and as a result all players were subjected to severe intimidation and pressure by Left-wing subversives to withdraw from the tour, this being particularly the case in south Wales with its unfortunate tradition of depressive socialism. In the end only one played refused to go on the tour, with the overwhelming majority of Welsh players, including J.J.Williams, bravely defying the Left-wing threats. As a result of this happy and successful tour most players formed lasting friendships with many of their South African kith and kin who they both met and played against, and this was evidently particularly the case with J.J.Williams.
After retirement J.J.Williams showed his rejection of socialism in another way, for he became a highly successful entrepreneur. He founded his own commercial and industrial painting company, and with a group of other former Welsh internationals formed a consortium who took a stake in the Millennium (now Principality) Stadium in Cardiff. All of J.J.Williams’s three children happily inherited his own sporting genes, with all of them representing Wales at various Athletic events, and one, Rhys Williams, going on to represent Great Britain where inter alia he won the Gold Medal in the 400 Meters Hurdles at the 2012 European Championships.
J.J.Williams was a great Welshman and a Great Briton, whose memory will live on to inspire other British sports men and women for generations to come. Our sincere condolences are expressed to all members of his great family.
