February 2021 edition
Although Joe Biden has now been sworn in as the 46th President of the United States, he will always probably go down in history as the “Fake President” or the “Illegitimate President”.
His early days in office seem to confirm that he is not a well man, and probably experiencing the early stages of dementia. His first foreign policy speech was both hesitant and wooden, strongly suggesting that he was reading from a script prepared by others, and he was caught staging a camera-shoot of the signing of executive orders when there was clearly no writing on the documents in front of him. It seems highly likely therefore that he will be levered out of office “on health grounds” long before his four years in office have expired – and then all bets will be off!
But what of President Donald J. Trump? It has been reported that he has decamped to his home at Mar-a-lago in order to plan both the establishment of a rival political party and a new media network. If the first is correct then we think that it will be a grave mistake. In order to remove the Donkey Party from power it is essential to form a united front of all patriotic American forces. The lessons of 1912 should never be forgotten! The second plan is infinitely more praiseworthy however. With so much of the US mainstream media currently being in the hands of leftist fanatics and reporting continuous fake news, and with so much of the social media now being censored, the door is surely wide open for new networks of both types of media to be established. Not only could such networks provide a vehicle for all patriotic Americans to use, and thereby save their country, but they would also provide a most profitable venture for all entrepreneurs involved. Furthermore Donald “The Art of the Deal” Trump would seem to be the ideal person to finance and co-ordinate such new networks.
Meanwhile the predicted “Second American Civil War” doesn’t seem to have materialised. There has seemingly been no follow-up to the massive protest demonstrations in Washington of 6th January, and the main leaders involved all seem to have been arrested with apparently very little resistance. Perhaps the time isn’t yet right for such direct confrontation against those who denied the will of the people, and maybe American patriots still believe that there is hope for salvation through the normal democratic process. After all, if the United States could survive 8 years of Obama/Biden then surely they should be able to survive 4 years of Biden/Kamala Harris?
But both time and racial demographics are against the true America people, and 2024 may be the last occasion when the multi-ethnic Donkey Party can be defeated at the polls. It is therefore vitally important that all anti-Donkey Party forces are united for forthcoming elections – and that means uniting both the traditional GOP hierarchy and the new “Trumpites” brought into the party by Donald Trump. This united front must not only be in place ready for the 2024 Presidential Election, but also ready for the 2022 mid-terms, as to win back control of the Senate – and possibly also the House – could stymie some of the more extreme Biden/Kamala Harris plans. It is too early at the moment to suggest an ideal GOP ticket for 2024, but the rumoured bid for the Senate in 2022 by Mike Pompeo is surely a development which should be supported.

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS
The Patriotic Forum held two Zoom meetings recently, both of which proved good and enjoyable successes. The first, which was billed as an “experimental” meeting, was addressed by Prof. Jason Jellison, an American professor currently lecturing in ethics, law, philosophy, English and teacher training in Thailand, who spoke about the current chaotic situation in the United States following the disputed Presidential election result (which he firmly believes was rigged), and also gave his predictions of how he saw the United States developing during the next four years.
The second Zoom meeting featured a most captivating talk by Ms.Hayley de Ronde, a well-known Covid-19 sceptic and opponent of all the "lockdown" restrictions, and who founded and administers the acclaimed FaceBook page "Covid-19 Logic vs Strategy", which takes an objective, logical and questioning attitude towards the pandemic and the measures being taken to counteract it. Hayley de Ronde, who is a professional animal worker who specialises in animal behaviour, health and welfare, and holds a BTEC National Diploma and a Higher National Diploma in animal management, is also an expert in zoonoses, zoobiquity and zoopharmacognosy (the sciences relating to the similarities between human and animals and how diseases transmit between them), and so was therefore well qualified to speak about the current "Wuhan Flu" panic. In her talk she clearly demonstrated how the international actions against the Covid-19 pandemic had been badly mishandled, and how the adoption of Herd Immunity tactics would have been far more effective.
The Patriotic Forum aims to hold regular monthly Zoom meetings all the time that the draconian “lockdown” restrictions are in place, and indeed already has a number of potential high-profile guest speakers lined-up. Zoom meetings do cost a fair amount to stage however, and it would be cheaper in the long term if we could pay for an annual subscription in advance, which will cost £119.90. We hope therefore that our supporters will be prepared to pay something towards this cost, which can be done by direct bank transfer, the bank account details in question being :-

or alternatively by cheque made payable to “Patriotic Press”, and sent to: The Patriotic Forum, BM SAPAT, London WC1N 3XX, U.K.

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS
Following the successes of the Patriotic Forum’s Zoom meetings the Springbok Club is also now planning to stage regular Zoom meetings in the future, and already has a number of prominent South Africans lined-up as potential guest speakers, both some still trapped in the “new” South Africa and others now based elsewhere around the world. Needless to say, more details will be given in future editions of the SCN.

REPORT FROM THE NETWORK FOR ANIMALS
We have recently received the following extremely harrowing report from the Network for Animals organisation, which reads as follows :-
“Life on the streets was agony. Constant thirst and hunger. Wounds infected and hurting. Still, somehow, Jose and Pedro became friends.
“Like some street dogs do, they were always seen together, always caring for one another.
“You’d know from his cloudy eyes that Jose was old - and nearly blind. So, Pedro, the young pup who could hold his own against the other cast-off animals, became his best friend’s eyes.
“But he was no match for the ruthless meat trader that slit Jose’s throat then hurled Pedro, dazed and bloody from a beating to subdue him, on top of his friend in the back of a truck.
“It gets worse! The meat trader dismembered Jose. He made Pedro and all the other dogs watch! Then the rough, gore-slick hands grabbed for Pedro.
“Amidst Covid-19, dog meat traders are pulling out ALL stops to evade capture, and keep killing. Old Jose. Brave, faithful Pedro. Their last chance at life. SIXTY-EIGHT times that blade’s cruel hack would cry murder in the Philippines. SIXTY-EIGHT dogs, gone. We need your help now to END this torture!
“The dog meat trade has NO place on this Earth. The traders are wily, and monitoring and surveillance always comes at a cost.
“But to apprehend and prosecute these merciless criminals, to end the slaughter of friends like Jose and Pedro, we know you believe, like we do, that it’s worth it.
“Would you believe that just TWO despicable traders were responsible for those 68 senseless murders? It took seven long years to catch and prosecute the Medina brothers, but we did it - and they were convicted, heavily fined and sentenced to four years in prison!
“It was for dogs like Jose... for Pedro... and with your support, we were able to keep the dog raids and surveillance funded - we REFUSED to give up. Today, the murderous reign of the Medina Brothers has ended. YOU made it happen! But we have several active cases still open.
“All we can think is, if two brothers can brutally claim 68 innocent lives, what will happen to the dogs still out there if our work has to pause for lack of funding?
“Jose and Pedro are dead, but you can ensure their battle is NOT over! Please don’t let more lives end in horror and agony.
“For the animals, “Brian and Gloria Davies (and Max and Flora!) – Founders, Network for Animals”

TAKE OFF THOSE STUPID FACEMASKS!
Although several professional sports have resumed competitions in spite of the paranoid Covid-1984 restrictions, alas most competitors have still been prepared to comply with some of the more lunatic regulations. The most obnoxious of these of course is the wearing of ridiculous facemasks – even in some cases when being interviewed! Also, in spite of the fact that many sports involve physical contact with others, they have still been prepared to observe the anti-social distancing rules after competitions have been completed, and bizarrely even foregoing handshakes! Viruses are of course single-cell organisms. They are minute in both size and mass, so therefore can permeate any facemask material (unlike multi-cell bacteria, against which facemasks were designed!) and float around in the atmosphere regardless of how close other human beings are. Some sportsmen have most praiseworthily refused to curtail victory celebrations as requested by certain medicrat busy-bodies, but it is a pity that they haven’t been prepared to defy all the other stupid regulations concerning facemask-wearing and anti-social distancing. If some brave sports stars were prepared to start acting normally then it would act as a catalyst for more widescale defiance, to the benefit of the whole population!

FALKLAND ISLANDS NEWS
We have recently received the following most interesting message from the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust :-
“The Trustees of the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust (FMHT) are pleased to announce the launch of our website: www.fmht.co.uk. In its short existence the Trust has developed material relating to two elements in that history.
“Many of you will be aware that we funded a search for the German warships sunk in the Battle of the Falklands in December 1914. We are proud to be launching our website on Battle Day, 8 December, a national holiday in the Falkland Islands. The search for those warships was led by Falklands-born maritime archaeologist, Mensun Bound, and resulted in the discovery of SMS Scharnhorst. The film of the two phases of that search was directed by Matt Wortman of Polestar Pictures and rights acquired by the Smithsonian Channel and, for German-speaking countries, by ZDF.
“Mensun Bound and Matt Wortman some years ago made a film showing some of the many wrecks from the age of sail which were to be found then in the Falkland Islands and the neighbouring seas. While many of those wrecks have now been lost to the ravages of wind and wave, the Trust funded the digitisation of the film to ensure its preservation. Extracts from the film, as from ‘Lost Ships - the Hunt for the Kaiser’s Superfleet’, are on the website with accompanying descriptive accounts.
“For the Trust, the launch of the website is an important step in our mission to educate a global audience about the maritime history of the Falkland Islands. We intend to develop our narrative, including further accounts of ships that braved the notoriously stormy waters of Cape Horn or were engaged in conflict or exploration. We envisage marking also significant anniversaries such as the SS Great Britain’s return in 1970 to Bristol from the Falklands, the death of Sir Ernest Shackleton in January 1922 and the Falklands War in 1982.
“We look forward to your comments on the website, whether in reply to my e-mail (dlamont47@gmail.com) or through the ‘Contact Us’ option on the website itself, and please share with us your ideas about what we might showcase in the future: do you, for example, have images that you would be happy to share with us and with those who will visit the website.
“The Trust owes thanks to many who have helped support us in all sorts of ways. A short tribute is on the website. But that website could not have come into being without the support and creative effort of Charles Thompson and the team at TVT Productions Ltd., Matt Wortman and Polestar Pictures, Alex Wright of AW Design, and Mark Peters of MPDesign. We are grateful also to the designer of our logo, Kristy Jones of Arliam Design. We wonder how many of you will recognise the ship depicted in the logo! One for the cognoscenti!”

DONKEY PARTY’S HYPOCRISY
The recent repeat of the epic documentary “The Vietnam War” on the PBS channel reminded everyone that the 6th January 2021 was not the first occasion in recent history when there has been an assault on the Capitol. During the height of the Vietnam War pro-Communist anti-war mobs tried to attack the building on several occasions, and were only prevented from entering by massive fences constructed outside and by the deployment of masses of security personnel. One particularly violent demonstration in 1971 was spearheaded by a group calling themselves “Vietnam Veterans Against the War”, and featured the vile obscenity of so-called veterans throwing their military medals across the barbed wire. This disgusting unpatriotic hooliganism was led by a certain John Kerry. This same John Kerry of course subsequently entered politics and became a doyen of the Donkey Party, successively becoming a Senator for Massachusetts, Donkey Party Presidential candidate in 2004 and Secretary of State under the Obama Administration – yet rarely were his earlier reprehensible violent and treasonable activities mentioned. Certainly worth reminding apologists for the Donkey Party about whenever they criticise the protest demonstration of 6th January 2021, which was not enacted by those who supported the enemies of the United States, but by patriotic American citizens who sincerely believed that the 2020 Presidential Election had been stolen, and that they were therefore defending the US Constitution.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.267 - Mr. GLENN MACKAL of .St.Petersburg, Florida.
Glenn Mackal, from St.Petersburg, Florida, was a good friend of South Africa and an enthusiastic subscriber to S.A.Patriot. He visited the country with his charming wife in 1988, when they attended a (South African) Patriotic Forum meeting in Durban, at which he said a few words about the then current situation in the United States. Unfortunately his latest copy of the magazine has been returned as he is evidently no longer resident at his last known address. If anyone knows what has become of him we’d therefore be very keen to learn.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
NOTHING TO SMILE ABOUT
Sir,
Got a 2nd-hand copy of Swerling’s autobiography for £3.00. Probably more than it’s worth! He should have got an award – it’s one of the best pieces of fiction I’ve ever read! Makes Walter Mitty look like a bastion of the truth!
Yours etc.,
David Kendrick, Camberley, Surrey, U.K.

SOUTHERN SUN BURNT
Sir,
I really liked Jani Allan’s article about Sol Kerzner in the December 2020 Edition of the SCN. More!
I opened Sol’s Plettenberg Bay's Beacon Island Hotel, and then up to Chobe to open his Game Lodge.
Sol was brilliant. There’s lots of stories behind the frantic opening of the Plettenburg Bay hotel
Sol was Sol. The morning we opened [Dec 10 1972] Sol was in the kitchen frying eggs and burning the toast.
He was that sort of bloke. We got on well. Look what he achieved. Brilliant!
Yours etc.,
Adrian Keefe, New South Wales, Australia.
----------------------------
FACT CHECK
Sir,
Re. some of the items in the December 2020 SCN :-
1) The percentage of non-White residents in the United States has clearly been exaggerated I agree. 2) Margaret Thatcher better Prime Minister than any of her five predecessors, and of any of her five successors I agree. Perhaps you should add another 5 on both sides! 3) The Free State is on fire Has the ANC and EFF noticed how much food prices have increased recently?!
Yours etc.,
Heinrich Koch, Pretoria, Transvaal, South Africa.
----------------------------
TWO NATIONS, UNDER GOD
Sir,
I just got a chance to read this month's SCN. I would say that your analysis of the United States is not too far away from where mine is. Basically, I suspect that when the Supreme Court ducked hearing the Trump case (and would not even give it a hearing), that probably paved a path for a secession movement. Much as Samuel Huntington predicted all the way back in 1992, it simply will not be possible for these two fundamentally different populations to live with one another. It's simply impossible
So, my best guess is where we are going from here is probably going to be increased consideration of a new union of States, or options of that general ilk. We'll see if I am wrong on that, but I had actually cautioned my family and friends that we would probably wind up with two countries before I even left for Thailand, and that was 7 years ago.
Ultimately, I came here due to the discrimination which I faced at home. I could never have made it so far in the States, but that is simply because the system was rigged against me for my entire life. (I was born in 1977.) As soon as I got here, I exploded and soared like an eagle
Well, anyway, I just wanted to say that I appreciated your SCN. However this ends for the States, it will probably not be pleasant. That much is probably for certain.
Yours etc.,
Prof. Jason Jellison, Bangkok, Thailand.

MOORE DOUBLE-STANDARDS
Sir,
If Captain Tom Moore died of the Coronavirus then why was his family allowed to be next to him when he died, yet other grieving relatives of other patients who have Coronavirus were not?
Yours etc.,
Boris Catt, Bromley, Kent, U.K...

OBITUARY
JOHN PULLIN
It was with great sadness that we learnt of the recent death of John Pullin, the great England Rugby Union captain and hooker.
John Pullin was a true son of the English soil, being born in 1941 into a family who had been farming in Gloucestershire for generations. A “one club man” all his playing career, he played 298 times for Bristol, represented Gloucestershire on 48 occasions, played 42 internationals for England (13 as captain) and went on two British Lions Tours (to South Africa in 1968 and to New Zealand in 1971), playing in a total of seven Tests. He was a formidable hooker – and this in an era when hookers really did hook!
He has been famously remembered for being prepared to play for and captain England against Ireland in Dublin in 1973 during the height of the SF/IRA terrorism campaign, when the terrorist vermin had issued threats against all visitors from the mainland. At the after-match (which England lost 18-9) after-dinner speech he came out with the immortal words: “We may not be very good, but at least we turned up!”.
He also showed great moral courage by being prepared to tour South Africa twice, first with the British Lions in 1968, and then with England in 1973 when he was captain. This, it should be remembered, being in the era when left-wing crypto-terrorists were making serious threats of violence and economic repercussions against those who were prepared to tour. Although John Pullin himself was a man of few words (he always let his Rugby skills do the talking!), several British tourists at this time stated not only that they were keen to express friendship with their South African kith and kin, but also asserted that they admired the system of separate development which then existed in South Africa, and wished that it could be adopted globally.
John Pullin was a true hero of the British nation and a credit to the country which gave him birth. Our sincerest condolences are extended to his widow and to his three children.
------------------------------------------------------------------
ROBERTSON’S GHOST
This month marks the first anniversary of the death of Allan Barrie Robertson.
Long-standing readers will probably recall how Robertson, who had previously been a greatly valued leading official of the Swinton Circle (which of course subsequently merged with New Britain to form today’s Patriotic Forum), betrayed the organisation in 2008 by trying to stage a takeover coup and to allow certain political extremists, who had earlier been barred from attending Swinton Circle meetings because of their disruptive behaviour, to join the organisation. As a result of this crisis an EGM of the Swinton Circle was held on 17th January 2009 and Robertson and two of his close associates who were also implicated in the attempted coup were expelled from the organisation for gross misconduct (although given 30 days to appeal against this decision – an opportunity which they did not avail themselves of).
This we all thought would be the end of the whole sorry business, but unfortunately Robertson started living in denial and founded his own rival “London Swinton Circle”. This of course caused the authentic Swinton Circle great problems because of the resulting confusion, and especially when Robertson started to invite some of the political extremists who he had staged his attempted coup to allow into the organisation (who included known Holocaust Deniers) to address his phony outfit.
Robertson’s death a year ago made us think that the whole unfortunate business was definitely finally closed, but although his associates have staged no further activities of any sort, his misleading “London Swinton Circle” web-site continues to be updated from time to time. This we believe is being done by his sidekick Daniel Wilkinson who was expelled with him in 2009, but there is one most disturbing aspect to these updates. Several articles have appeared under the name of “Arthur St.Hugh”, and although the contents of these articles tend to be most laudable, the name under which they appear – which is clearly a pseudonym – gives great cause for concern. For those who are not aware, “Little St.Hugh” was the name given to a 9-year-old boy who was murdered at Lincoln in 1255, who rabid anti-Semites of the time claimed was killed by “the Jews”, although of course there was never any proof for this paranoid claim. The name “Arthur St.Hugh” therefore has clear anti-Semitic undertones. For more information about “Little St.Hugh” see :-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Saint_Hugh_of_Lincoln
So who we wonder is this modern-day “Arthur St.Hugh”? The writing style is definitely not that of Daniel Wilkinson, and the other sidekick of Robertson’s who was expelled in 2009, Christopher Luke, died a few years ago, as indeed did one of the political extremists who Robertson sought to allow to join the Swinton Circle, Ian Anderson. None of the other neo-fascists involved would appear to have the intellectual ability to write such long and well analysed articles, so the mystery therefore deepens. Even in spite of the fact that the anti-Semitic conspiracy theory occurred many centuries ago, and it can be proven that the phony “London Swinton Circle” has no connection with the authentic Swinton Circle which became a component part of today’s Patriotic Forum, any false connection of the name of this author with the Patriotic Forum could still cause the organisation great embarrassment.
If any reader can help identify the person who is writing under the name of “Arthur St.Hugh” then we would of course be most keen to learn. Needless to say, any information supplied will be treated in the utmost confidence.
