April 2023 Edition

SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER

April 2023 edition

There can surely be little doubt that the current wave of migration by swarms of third world minions is the greatest existential threat to the peoples of Europe since the advent of human life on the continent.

Although the vast majority of the British people are – quite rightly – extremely concerned and indeed angry about the high number of illegal migrants crossing the Straits of Dover in inflatable boats, the fact of the matter is that this is only the second phase of the migrant invasion. The first is the even more numerous crossings of the Mediterranean into Italy, Greece and Spain, from where the parasites spread out into almost every European country – whether in the EU or not!

But of course Europe’s immigration crisis did not start with the so-called “refugee” influx of the past few decades, but rather began almost immediately after the conclusion of WW2, egged-on by the self-hating egalitarians who had been ineffective in their aims of destroying all forms of national identity for many centuries beforehand. Alas the excesses of the fascist states during the 1930s and early 1940s induced a knee-jerk reaction against all forms of patriotism, which can only be considered as completely unnatural, as surely it is the natural instinct of all species to defend and to protect their own kind against those who threaten them?

The most sickening aspect about this current state of affairs is the manner in which practically all European governments – and alas people – seem to accept the migrant invasion and do nothing effective to halt it. The only exceptions seem to be Serbia (outside the EU) and Hungary (unfortunately ham-strung by still being in the EU). What is required is surely a concerted and united policy of defiance against all “Human Rights Declarations” and “Refugee Conventions” by all European governments and peoples – and if this entails leaving the EU and taking drastic measures to prevent the migrant landings then so be it!

More fundamentally required, however, is a total rejection of the unnatural egalitarian mindset, and a campaign of ruthless opposition against it, so that the poisonous Linekers of this world can be consigned to the dustbin of history!

SPRINGBOK CLUB NEWS

The Springbok Club staged a most enjoyable and inspirational trip to Chislehurst last month. This event started with a visit to view Camden Place House, which was the home of the Anglophile French Emperor Napoleon III (Louis Napoleon) for the final few years of his life, after being forced into exile following France’s defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71. Following this visit the Springbok Club party went on to join a conducted tour of the near-by historic Chislehurst Caves (in reality mines rather than caves), during which they learnt a lot about the history of the caves from the Stone Age until the present day, with special emphasis on the WW2 period when the caves were used as air-raid shelters during the Blitz. The day ended with an adjournment to a near-by hostelry for convivial conversations, and where Mr. Gary Vincent gave another of his fascinating and well-researched PowerPoint presentations, this one being about the life and career of the Prince Imperial, the son of Napoleon III, who after living with his father in Chislehurst volunteered to serve in the British Army, wherein he was sadly killed in South Africa during the Anglo-Zulu Wars.

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

Unfortunately the Springbok Club’s planned meeting for April has had to be cancelled (though hopefully only postponed) because of the current ill-health of the anticipated guest speaker. Instead the Springbok Club Kent Branch’s activity for April will be turned into the organisation’s main event for April. This will take the form of a trip to Rochester in order to experience the atmosphere of the famous Rochester Sweeps Festival on Sunday 30th April. Assemble in or around “The King’s Head”, 58 High Street, Rochester, Kent, ME1 1LD (nearest rail station: Rochester) between 12.30 hrs and 13.30 hrs. If you have any difficulty finding this location then ‘phone: 07711188430.

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

The Springbok Club will be holding a special meeting in conjunction with the Patriotic Forum in order to celebrate Empire Day on either Saturday 20th May or Saturday 27th May, which will be addressed by a prominent guest speaker, and in June the organisation will be staging a weekend’s trip to Portsmouth in order to see both HMS Victory and the Mary Rose. Details about both these two events will be given in next month’s SCN.

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

PATRIOTIC FORUM NEWS

As explained last month, as one of the leading Committee members of the Patriotic Forum has recently experienced a serious health problem, and as two other Committee members are currently in the midst of important personal developments, it has therefore been decided to put the organisation into “cold storage” for the next few months, and to devote its resources to assisting other wings of the wider patriotic movement. This will entail supporting the Springbok Club in their special Empire Day celebration in May (as mentioned above) as well as helping to produce and distribute the next edition (No.43) of The Imperial Patriot, as detailed below.

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

THE IMPERIAL PATRIOT

Happily we can report that thanks to a small but still very useful bequest left to Patriotic Press in his Will by a long-standing subscriber to S.A.Patriot/The Imperial Patriot, we are now in a position to afford to publish the next issue of The Imperial Patriot, No.43, in the very near future. Work has already begun on writing this edition, and it is hoped that its distribution will have begun by the time that next month’s SCN is circulated. As there are still small stocks of earlier issues remaining, please let us know if you would like to purchase a small batch of 50 mixed editions for only £25.00. Payment details are given at the end of this SCN.

MESSAGE FROM THE SANWILD WILDLIFE SANCTUARY

Long-standing readers will undoubtedly recall the name of Louise Joubert, the quite remarkable young woman who founded and ran the SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary in the Far Northern Transvaal, but who tragically died in a car accident in 2018. We were uncertain of what became of all her estimable wildlife conservation efforts after her devastating death, but we have recently received a message from the SanWild Wildlife Trust which confirms that her excellent work is continuing, and even though the contents of this message about the plight of hyenas is disturbing, the fact that SanWild’s endeavours are continuing is even so most encouraging. The message reads as follows :-

“Dear SanWild Friends,

“It's been a hectic couple of weeks with an unfortunate incident that involved our hyenas.

“Many of you have followed the introduction of a female hyena, Vlootjie, with our resident male, Nicholas and their release into the greater SanWild Wildlife Sanctuary during the past month. SanWild has always been a unique game reserve in that rehabilitated wild animals are afforded a second chance at freedom by being released into this protected Sanctuary.

“The biggest challenge with hand-reared or rescued wild animals is that they lose their innate fear of humans. In nature, any wild animal will flee or keep its distance from people. Even dangerous species like lions would rather shy away than attack unless they feel provoked, injured or trapped. However, this natural apprehension is not present with tame or semi-tame wild animals. In conservation circles, we refer to this condition as "human imprinting", which is the most significant obstacle rehabilitators face when releasing animals back into the wild.

“Unlike domesticated animals, wild animals will always have an unpredictable side, making them inconsistent and extremely dangerous, especially when they reach puberty.

“At SanWild, we are cognizant of this fact and manage the Sanctuary accordingly to prevent human-animal interaction by keeping safe distances, not allowing people to hike or walk around in the Sanctuary and always having an armed ranger when work is being done out in the field. Likewise, we limit human interaction to prevent human imprinting when we work with orphaned or injured animals at our rehabilitation centre.

“This brings us back to our two hyenas, Nicholas and Vlooitjie. Both of these animals came from animal rescue centres where they were hand-raised and thus do not have the same intrinsic fear of humans as wild hyenas do. Nicholas has been on SanWild for several years, wandering the Sanctuary on his own, scavenging and hunting for his food. For all purposes, a successful reintroduction back into the wild but still a risk factor for our employees working out in the field. With the introduction of Vlooitjie, we finally found Nicholas a mate, and we hoped that he would teach her the ropes of scavenging and fending for herself. What we didn't foresee was that there would be a drastic behavioural change once he had a female and formed a pack with her. Nicholas has become aggressive and unpredictable, and this factor, combined with his lack of fear for humans, makes him extremely dangerous.

“On Monday morning, 18 October 2022, Farm manager Lukas Geldenhuys and SanWild board member Johan Schoeman were working on one of the water troughs when Nicolas, with Vlooitjie in tow, charged out from the shrub and attacked Johan. Lukas fired two shots with his firearm that chased off both hyenas, but by that stage, Johan's right leg was already badly mauled. Johan was taken to Mediclinic Hospital in Tzaneen, where he underwent surgery to treat his wounds. Animal bites have a considerable risk of infection due to the bacteria involved and require intravenous antibiotics, tetanus and rabies shots to treat and prevent further complications. Johan is doing well and will be in the hospital for a few days until the doctors are sure there's no infection in his wounds.

“Due to the inherent danger that Nicholas and Vlootijie pose to our employees, both hyenas were darted and moved to an enclosure on Tuesday. It has become apparent that we will not be able to release them into the greater Sanctuary as it is simply too dangerous.

“It's with a heavy heart that we had to take away these two magnificent animals' freedom. Having them in a small enclosure is not ideal and, in many ways, goes against everything we stand for at SanWild. To make the best of a bad situation, we hope to raise funds to construct a 100-hectare (250-acre) predator enclosure allowing Nicolas and Vlooitjie a sizeable natural habitat where they can roam freely. This enclosure will require 4 km (2.5 miles) of fencing, encompassing hills, waterholes and other wildlife, recreating a smaller game reserve within the larger SanWild Sanctuary.

“Unfortunately, as a non-profit organisation, we do not have the financial means to fund this project on our own. To turn this predator enclosure into reality, we would need the support of donors and charities that would like to get involved with this endeavour.

“If you'd like to get involved and become a part of this initiative, get in touch or visit our GoGetFunding campaign page. Together we can give these two special animals a natural home with enough wilderness to create the freedom they deserve.

“Kind regards

“Didi Schoeman, Chairman - SanWild Wildlife Trust”

MICHAEL VAUGHAN’S VICTORY

The fact that the Cricket Discipline Commission of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) “acquitted” former Yorkshire and England Cricket captain Michael Vaughan of the charge of “racial abuse” is of course to be welcomed – but there still remain many very disturbing aspects regarding this kangaroo trial-like case.

Firstly, why is specifically racial abuse considered a crime? Physical abuse is of course undoubtedly a crime, but merely uttering some opinions must surely be considered a matter of free speech. In Vaughan’s case he was accused of merely saying “There’s too many of you lot” [presumed to be a reference to Asians, and a comment which he denies]. Such comments can of course be heard in every pub, club and shopping arcade throughout the land from time to time, so what is therefore wrong with it, regardless of whether Vaughan uttered such words or not? There is an old maxim “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”, and this truism should surely have been born in mind by the trouble-making Azeem Rafiq.

Secondly, why was the charge against Michael Vaughan dismissed only on the “balance of probabilities”, rather than him being unambiguously declared totally innocent? It was admitted by the Commission that the accusations against him were riddled with inconsistencies, and would thus undoubtedly have been thrown out by any proper court in the land.

Thirdly, why were the other five Yorkshire players and officials accused of making “racist comments”, Tim Bresnan, Matthew Hoggard, John Blain, Andrew Gale and Richard Pyrah, all found “guilty” when they all refused to testify because of the perceived kangaroo court-style nature of the Commission’s hearings, and therefore were not able to defend themselves? At the very least such charges should have been held in abeyance until some acceptable tribunal could be established.

Finally, why was no charge brought against Rafiq himself when the Commission themselves stated that his testimony was riddled with inconsistencies, and after it was revealed that he had sent a number of anti-Semitic FaceBook messages in the past?

After the Commission’s “verdicts” were announced Michael Vaughan stated that the proceedings were: “inappropriate, inadequate and [a] backward step”. We agree with him, and call for the ECB’s Cricket Discipline Commission to be reformed so that it deals only with matters directly related to the game in future.

At the time of writing it is believed that both John Blain and Tim Bresnan are considering taking legal action through the proper courts of the land in order to clear their names against all the frivolous charges made against them by the Cricket Discipline Commission. We wish them well!

BRILLANT ARTICLE IN THE DAILY MAIL

The Daily Mail of 7th April 2023 contained a brilliant and most important article entitled “Were masks in hospitals a waste of time? Hated NHS policy made ‘no difference’ to Covid infection rates, study finds”. Although this article is crouched in rather moderate terms and the research relates only to the ineffectiveness of face-masks in hospitals (why if they were ineffective in hospitals aren’t they ineffective everywhere?) it even so provides valuable evidence to present to those idiots who still go around wearing those ridiculous face-masks! The article in question can be found at :-

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?

No.293: Mr. VAUGHAN FRIEND of Rhodesia and the Isle of Sheppey

Vaughan Friend was born in Rhodesia, but moved to the U.K. during the 1980s, settling on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. A keen sportsman (particularly an avid Golfer), he became a founding member of the East Kent Branch (now the Kent Branch) of Rhodesians Worldwide, and remained active in the organisation throughout the 1990s. Alas he disappeared from the scene during the 2000s, and nobody seemed to know what had happened to him, although there was a rumour that he had married and moved to Australia. It would however be great to be able to re-make contact with him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TRAGEDY AND HOPE

Sir,

It was sad and encouraging to read the editorial of the November 2022 Edition of the SCN. Sad what politics is doing to a great country (here in the USA too) but encouraging to hear there are still some good people out there who hopefully can make a difference for the good and betterment of the people.

Yours etc.,

MUCH ADDO ABOUT NOTHING

Sir,

The article in the November 2022 Edition of the SCN on the drought in Addo is bad news indeed. But please reassure the correspondent from the Animal Survival International organisation that diesel powered pumps are definitely acceptable as the AGW climate change crisis is an almighty scam of immense proportions. Please read my note below.

AN IRREFUTABLE CLAIM FOR A.G.W. CLIMATE CHANGE

The AGW claims for causing Climate Change are continually being promoted by many institutions, including the IPCC, the media, (BBC, Sky TV, The Guardian for example), and politicians. The UK is being subjected to crippling costs due to scrapping coal fired power stations (at the EU’s demand) and trying to replace them with renewable forms of energy. This is costing a fortune for UK taxpayers as renewables are unreliable, very expensive and demand huge subsidies. Our cars are being banned in favour of EV’s which again raise horrendous operational problems.

Incredibly this is all for absolutely no benefit whatsoever! In fact it is probably an enormous dis-benefit to human existence. Why?

A graph contained in the link below defines the effect on global warming due to increasing levels of CO2. This proves beyond any doubt that increasing CO2 has an imperceptible effect on increasing earth’s temperature. This graph is copied from a lecture given by Dr Tom Sheahan. For the full lecture use the link:-

https://m.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=IwAR1cW_gwilmUFYPl_aATSw4lHXQmdf2yYKTd8xOlV8-s-vnIG7m-jPsHIls&v=CqWv26PXqz0&feature=youtu.be

Hence:

1 Talking of reparations for third world countries is a ridiculously ludicrous idea as any increase in the worlds CO2 due to our industrial revolution has a vanishingly small effect on global warming.

2 Promoting Climate Change (meaning AGW induced Climate Change) is totally and criminally, FAKE propaganda.

3 Using CO2 levels to debate Climate Change is a worthless exercise as CO2 makes a vanishingly small effect on global warming. Especially, as the UK produces only 1% of the world’s 3% annual human production of CO2. YET the stupid Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy “provided £1,173,666.21 (excl. VAT) to the contractor responsible for delivering the ongoing UK Greenhouse Gas Inventory For the 2021/2022 financial year. The outputs of this work included providing the data for the 2020 UK Greenhouse Gas Emissions Report, and also a number of other products”. What a colossal waste of taxpayers’ money!

4 Reducing CO2 is probably having the opposite effect to that required for the world’s population! If CO2 level gets too low all world vegetation will die and mankind with it! More CO2 increases world greening and plant growth! (Proven by satellite observations and greenhouse use of CO2.

5 Dr Sheahan also makes the point that Methane, CH4 and Nitrous Oxide, N2O are also insignificant with regard to global warming and even less effective than the vanishingly small effect of CO2.

Yours etc.,

SPOT THE THREAD

Sir,

Scotland controlled by a Pakistani, London controlled by a Pakistani, Britain controlled by an Indian imposed on the party. Can you see a thread here?

REMEMBER, REMEMBER

Sir,

People forget history. Men sacrificed their youth, they fought against tyranny, many died so that we could have our freedoms that we have today.

South Africans also sacrificed for our freedoms. They stepped forward in the World Wars, then they stood firm to stop the spread of Communism in Africa, our young men fought and many died in Angola with bravery, honour and commitment.

All of us have been betrayed by the elite, and if we don’t do something about it soon they will use our sons and daughters, who they are brainwashing against us. Call me a liar, call me crazy, but remember how they used our military and police forces around the world to enforce their lockdowns for the lie of a worldwide virus, remember that they are already for casting another one next year.

Yours etc.,

Nicky Lamprecht, Clairwood, Durban, Natal, South Africa.

OBITUARIES

PROFESSOR DAVID MARSLAND

It was with great sadness that we recently learnt of the death of that great friend of our movement, Professor David Marsland.

David Marsland was born in 1939 at Watford, and educated at Watford Grammar School and Christ’s College, Cambridge, where he studied classics, before taking a post-graduate course in sociology at LSE. Unlike most sociology graduates he was no Leftist, proudly terming himself a Thatcherite and a Neo-Conservative and delighting in baiting his fellow sociologists with some of his more forthright Right-wing opinions. He went on to become a lecturer at Brunel University, where he was a firm advocate of the “the market” being the best method by which society should function, and advocated the privatisation of as many of the state’s institutions as possible, as well as believing that individual self-reliance and enterprise were far more effective means of eliminating poverty than the welfare-state.

His main interests outside academia and politics were the traditional pursuits of patriotic activists – sport and wildlife! He was a staunch supporter of the State of Israel and of the cause of Ulster Unionism, and was also an uncompromising supporter of the West’s War against Islamic terrorism. He was also a fierce opponent of “political correctness” in all its forms, arguing forcefully that it was an unacceptable attack on free speech.

David Marsland spoke several times at Swinton Circle (now part of the Patriotic Forum) meetings, and also addressed the Springbok Club in July 2004, where he delivered a speech entitled “Fighting for Freedom – Fighting Tough!”. A copy of this superb speech can be accessed at :-

www.springbk.org.uk/speech5.html

Our sincerest condolences are extended to David’s widow Athena, and to his children Natascha, Camilla, Ginny and Savia.

L/Cpl KEANE SMIRTHWAITE

It was with great shock and devastating sadness that we learnt of the tragic death of L/Cpl Keane Smirthwaite last month at the tragically early age of only 22.

Keane Smirthwaite, who had Anglo-Welsh ancestry, was born at Gillingham, Kent, in 2000 and educated at Byron Road Junior School, Gillingham, and at Brompton Academy. He excelled at school in I.T. and took a great interest in history. He was also a keen sportsman, being an avid supporter of West Ham United. Most importantly, however, he proved himself to be a firm and dedicated patriot, and was a staunch believer in the Odinist faith.

After school his patriotic sentiments encouraged him to join the Army, with his I.T. expertise making it natural for him to enlist in the Royal Corps of Signals. Once in the Army he excelled at all form of technical communications, and was soon promoted to the rank of Lance Corporal. He was also recognised as having natural teaching abilities, and became a valued instructor of younger recruits.

In 2022 Keane married his childhood sweetheart Danielle “Dani” Baker, and they produced a fine son, Haydn, with a second child being on the way at the time of his untimely death.

Earlier this year he was stationed to Estonia, and it was here where he met his sudden death, which the Ministry of Defence has only described as being in “unexplained circumstances”. He was given a full military funeral earlier this month, which proved to be a highly emotional though strangely uplifting event, with his coffin being carried out to the tune of the West Ham theme song, “I’m for ever blowing bubbles” and three rounds being fired over his grave by the escort party. The 15th Signal Regiment of the Royal Corps of Signals, with which Keane served, are to be congratulated upon performing such a moving and faultless ceremony.

Keane Smirthwaite’s oh too short life gives the lie to those – even those of our own patriotic persuasion – who claim that the current younger generation does not possess the same virtuous qualities as earlier generations of Britons. His short life proved that our nation and people can still produce the same brave and dedicated patriots as our parents’ and forefathers’ generations did. The memory of Keane Smirthwaite will always remain with those of us who knew him, even though this was only for a cruelly short period, and will inspire us to re-double our efforts to advance the patriotic ideals and beliefs which Keane stood for.

Our heartfelt sympathies are extended to Dani and to the rest of Keane’s family, and trust that in the years ahead they will be able to convey to Haydn and to his as yet unborn second child what a great and inspirational man their father was, and sincerely hope that they will be able to maintain and continue his life’s ideals.
