SPRINGBOK CYBER NEWSLETTER
December 2024 Edition
As we reach the end of 2024 the World is clearly becoming an ever more dangerous and chaotic place. As Peter Lindsay titles his observant in-depth cyber circular, it is a “World Crisis” indeed.
Apart from the two ongoing vicious military conflicts in the Ukraine and on the borders of Israel, there is now chaos in Syria, largescale civil unrest following constitutional crises in Georgia, Romania and the Republic of Korea, and potentially catastrophic Parliamentary uncertainties in Germany, France and perhaps also in Britain. We do not believe in some of the more wacko conspiracy theories, and it is quite clear that not all of these global crises are related – but even so there are certainly some common factors at play here.
The root cause of the current worldwide instability we would argue lies in the abdication of global responsibility by the West, and here we are specifically referring to the destruction of the great European Empires post WW2, with the resulting emergence of numerous incompetent “third world” states (many of them very wealthy as a result of oil and other natural resources) and the accompanying flooding of Western countries by minions from these same “third world” states fleeing from the corruption, anarchy and incompetence in their own countries!
But all is not without hope, for on 20th January 2025 Donald J. Trump will be sworn in as the 47th President of the United States with the avowed aim to “Make America Great Again”, which hopefully in reality means to “Make The West Great Again”! During his first term of office President Trump disappointed a lot of his worldwide supporters by adopting a somewhat isolationist policy and trying to suck-up to the dangerous lunatics of the DPRK, but of course this was nothing compared to the cowardly withdrawalist policies of the Biden Administration which turned Afghanistan once again into a threatening fundamentalist Islamic tyranny. Hopefully as 47th President Donald Trump will not make the same mistakes and will not only end all the unnecessary White bloodshed in the Russian/Ukrainian conflict (in reality a Russian civil war) but will also take a more forthright stance to confront and neutralise those “third world” countries posing dangers to the West.
It is to be hoped furthermore that the Trumpian revolution will spread throughout the West – particularly to the great nation-states of Western Europe. With the current Parliamentary uncertainties in both Germany and France there are strong possibilities of both the Alternative Fúr Deutschland and the Rassemblement National could be catapulted into some form of power – and as Germany and France are the “power-houses” of the EU this could spell the death-knell for this inward-looking institution. The situation is far different in the UK of course because of the continuing two-party dominance, but as recent opinion polls are showing massive increasing support for ReformUK a string of by-election victories for this party could completely change the political landscape here.
If a complete sea-change in these other Western countries could emulate that in the United States then hopefully two important global changes will soon take place. Firstly that these Western nations become as ruthless as Israel in dealing with all those who invade and try to destroy their countries, and secondly that Russia will be accepted as part of the West rather than being viewed as Asian-orientated, so that after a peace agreement is agreed with the Ukrainian separatists (which will hopefully allow them to save a bit of face) the Russian Federation will be welcomed back into the Western fold, and as a result it will realise that Communist China and Islamic Iran are as much of a threat to their own well-being as to the rest of the Western world!

MESSAGE FROM ANIMAL SURVIVAL INTERNATIONAL
We have recently received the following most disturbing report from the Animal Survival International organisation about the plight of elephants in “Zimbabwe”. It reads as follows:-
“Two elephants in Zimbabwe are in life-threatening situations as you read this. Each has fallen victim to cruel wire snares - torture devices that cut dangerously deep into the flesh, cause severe tissue damage and likely leave the animal in agony.
“The elephants - members of two separate herds roaming the vast Lake Kariba region - were spotted by our partner, the Bumi Hills Anti-Poaching Unit (BHAPU), and the team they are working with, Kariba Animal Welfare Fund Trust (KAWFT). One of the animals is an eight-year-old female with a snare around her ear and tusk, while the other is a calf - estimated to be just a year old - who has a snare wound tightly around its back leg which is probably causing great pain.
“Already, the snare has caused significant damage to the elder elephant: there is a terrible wound behind her ear where the snare is embedded, affecting its use and causing the ear to collapse forward.
“If these elephants are not rescued and treated SOON, they could suffer life-altering injuries, be captured by predators, or die as a result of infection. We need your help right now - and here is why…
“It is a race against time to help two snared elephants – one still a calf – and your donation right now could make a life-or-death difference.
“To help these animals, our team must dart and tranquilize them first - but the elephants are extremely difficult to target from the ground. They are wild, elusive, and largely hidden in the vast, densely wooded area they are roaming.
“The most effective way to dart them, therefore, will be from above. Our team urgently needs to charter a helicopter and pilot so they can spot the animals from the sky and dart them, but they cannot fund this alone. And this is where we need your help as fast as possible.
“A helicopter approach is the safest way to track and dart the injured skittish elephants. Trying from the ground means being attacked by an irate mother who does not know we are there to help and will kill to help her injured calf. To save the calf, a helicopter is the only option and we need help to hire one.
“Snares act like nooses, slowly cutting into the flesh and causing more damage every day. With each passing moment, these elephants are at great risk of losing body parts, making them vulnerable to predators, infection and even death.
“Your support right now could be the difference between life and death for these snared animals - integral members of their herds. Elephants live in tightly bonded, female-led herds, and the death of this individual would devastate the herd. Elephants have been proven to grieve their dead, and if it is the matriarch who dies, the herd may dissolve.
“If we can come together to raise $12,000 (roughly £9,469) we can hire a helicopter and a pilot to provide the crucial capture kits and supplies needed to undertake the emergency treatment these elephants urgently need. The greater the delay, the greater the risk to their survival.
“We anticipate that the other elephants in the herds will try to protect their kin from human interference, which means our team must execute the rescue with military precision and the highest level of care.
“Once an elephant has been successfully darted from the air, our team will rush in, carefully remove the snare and treat the injury. The sedative drug will then be reversed, and the elephant will be monitored until it is steady on its feet and ready to rejoin its herd.
“Our teams are preparing to mobilize at a moment’s notice and are monitoring both elephants' movements, so they do not lose sight of them. All they need now is the funding to charter the helicopter.
“It is critical that we raise the funds because these badly injured elephants really need our help.
“Saving animals and the planet,
“Campaign Director, “Animal Survival International
“P.S. The Kariba Lake region has been plagued by elephant poaching in the past. Between 2001 and 2014, an estimated 12,000 elephants were slaughtered here for their tusks - a staggering 40% of their population. BHAPU and KAWFT were established to protect the area’s wildlife, and through their hard work, they have not lost a single elephant to poaching in the last six years. We MUST help them maintain this record, and more importantly, we MUST help save these elephants’ lives.”

SOCCER CAPTAINS REFUSE TO WEAR DEGENERATE ARMBANDS
For several years now “Stonewall” (a sinister pressure group which attempts to promote the acceptance of sexual depravity) has been applying pressure on various sporting authorities to display their perverted “rainbow” colour-schemes on various items of sporting equipment and apparel. The Football Association’s Premier League has been one of the most prominent sporting governing bodies to have meekly acquiesced to this pernicious pressure by ordering all the captains of Premier League clubs to wear captain’s armbands in the degenerate “rainbow” colour-scheme for one weekend’s fixtures each season.
Last year the Sheffield United captain, Anel Ahmedhodzic, courageously defied the Premier League’s instruction in this regard, and this year the Ipswich Town captain, Sam Morsy, bravely did likewise, with the Crystal Palace captain, Marc Guehi, defiantly defacing his armband with the words “Jesus Loves You”. Although all three of these brave captains were evidently influenced by their Christian and Muslim religious beliefs, all – or certainly most – of the world’s major religions, both ancient and modern, regard homosexuality as a sin, so why therefore haven’t there been more Premier League captains to have +the courage to refuse to comply with this disgusting instruction?
All sports, particularly Association Football, appeal primarily to the youngest and therefore most susceptible members of society, so therefore the Premier League’s willingness to encourage predatory homosexuals to prey upon them must be regarded as sickening in the extreme. Can they not remember the likes of Barry Bennell!?!

STATUE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH
Even though it is now over two years since Queen Elizabeth died there has still been no plan for an official national statue of her announced, let alone erected! To be sure there have been several local statues unveiled around the country, but no official national statue in the capital. There have however been many mutterings that such a statue should be of an equine form and situated on the long-vacant fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square. This we believe would be a splendid idea, as it would not only emphasise the late Queen’s lifelong love of horses, but would also put an end to the succession of ridiculous – and in many cases offensive – exhibits which have been desecrating the fourth plinth for the past few years. Alas there seems to be no official co-ordinated campaign advocating this step. The Patriotic Forum is more than keen to give its full support to such a campaign if one can be co-ordinated.

INTERESTING FACEBOOK POSTING
We have recently been sent the following most interesting posting from a number of sources on FaceBook :-
“PRIMITIVE HUMANS AND BLACK AFRICANS
“Scientists now believe that up to a fifth of sub-saharan DNA comes from Homo Erectus, a hominin that never invented anything for a million years. After the interbreeding event with homo sapiens 50,000 years ago, the resulting negroid population have never invented anything either, except for the bone harpoon. Even bows and arrows were invented in Europe and Asia, where some of the homo sapiens population had emigrated at the same time as the interbreeding event further south. The northerners may have been helped by limited interbreeding with Neanderthals - Europeans have up to 3% of their DNA - but it looks likely that a high Homo Erectus element in their bloodline is what has held black Africans back.”
This posting seems to be extremely well researched and bears all the hall-marks of scientific authenticity, as well as confirming that which is patently obvious from personal observations. Alas however this posting contains no information about its original source, which therefore makes it very awkward to re-circulate. If anyone could tell us where this extract was first published then we would be most grateful.

WHERE ARE THEY NOW ?
No.313: Mr. SPENCER SALZMAN of Durban
Spencer Salzman was the younger brother of Jenny Salzman (see May 2007 SCN). He was introduced to Patriotic Forum circles in Durban during the late 1980s by his sister, and became increasingly enthusiastic about the South African patriotic cause. Alas the country fell shortly after he first became involved, and as our movement was forced to re-locate to the UK shortly after this contact with him was unfortunately lost. It would however be very interesting to learn where he is now.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
REGERINGS GEVAAR
Sir,
The Covid hoax was a reminder that most of the people in government do not know what they are doing. Actually governments are more dangerous than diseases and enemies together.
Yours etc.,
H.Koch, Transvaal, South Africa.
----------------------------
BY GEORGE!
Sir,
I entirely agree with your March editorial about the dishonourable new MP for Rochdale. May I go on record with my belief that he's the worst mainland MP since the days of D.N.Pritt and Captain Ramsey? The first, for readers' information, was a devout follower of Stalin; the second a paranoid anti-Semite whose actual and planned activities during the war might have made him our Quisling.
Yours etc.,
Mark Taylor, London, U.K.

LIBERALE GEVAAR
Sir,
Australia is so lucky geographically to be surrounded by water. They can stop the boats and the hordes. How tragic it is that the Whites of South Africa are now 4 million in a sea of 60 million non-Whites, yet the former still keep the latter and the whole country afloat.
A book will soon appear showing how and why this occur red, and how liberalism made it all happen. Never underestimate the role played by genetics in human history. Britain’s one and only Jewish prime minister Benjamin Disraeli said that “he who does not understand race does not understand politics”. His sayings are many and very wise.
Britain is now buckling under the racial “demands” for a more “transformative” and “diverse” nursing profession, police force, parliamentary representatives, academics quotas and so forth, ad infinitum. The demands will keep coming make no mistake. Once you capitulate on one front, the rest can’t be far behind. I look at Britain today and wonder if there is such a thing as divine retribution, after what the British government did to the Whites of Southern Africa.
Liberalism is relentless, insistent and non-negotiable. Liberals are infused with a fierce determination to get their way, come what may. Look at Biden and the three million aliens he let in, all to be looked after in “sanctuary cities”. Not in his city of course. His successor lost on the “immigration” issue in the November election - although it’s not immigration, it’s an invasion! Liberals always learn the hard way, and usually there is no going back, at least in South Africa’s situation. We all have to pay the price for the destructive policies of the White “progressives” who helped the ANC to power. We’re all in the quicksand together.
Yours etc.,
“South African Aussie”, Transvaal, South Africa.
----------------------------
BLACK HUMOUR
Sir,
I see from the March SCN that Ms.Stevens/Watson/Woodgate – the woman who threatened to shoot you because you circulated an amusing picture concerning the death of the terrorist leader Mandela - has herself now died. How most amusing!
Yours etc.,
Richard Windsor, Kent, U.K.

WHERE ARE THEY ALL NOW?
In edition No.37 of S.A.Patriot-in-Exile (now re-branded as The Imperial Patriot of course) we carried an article about the British political party called the National Party of the United Kingdom (NPUK). In a nutshell this was an authentic patriotic party which had broken away from the National Front at the end of 1975 after the latter had been infiltrated and taken over by a clique of neo-fascists.
Although the NPUK was alas short-lived it did however have a lasting influence on the British political scene, firstly by advocating a policy which it described as “de-nationalisation”, which came to fruition as the policy of “privatisation” under Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative Government, and secondly by promoting a policy of “neo-Imperialism” (seeking closer relationships with the nations of the old White Commonwealth and re-asserting Britain’s influence in its former colonial possessions) – a policy which of course our movement still advocates today.
Alas a combination of factors – lack of financial resources and the fact that the Thatcher Government had “stolen” so many of their policies! – meant that the party folded in 1980, and although many of its members re-joined the Conservative Party and/or became involved with other political pressure groups, particularly those opposing Britain’s EU membership, the NPUK as such was never revived.
Come the birth of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) in the 1990s however many former NPUK members gravitated towards this new similar party, but now, 25 or so years later, after UKIP have been triumphant in ensuring Britain’s exit from the EU (“Brexit”) and has metamorphosised into the ReformUK party, former NPUK activists seem nowhere to be seen! Many of the party’s leading figures, such as leader John Kingsley Read, David “Dave” McCalden, Harry Tuff and Mickey Baker, are now sadly dead of course – but where are the rest of its former leading activists – people such as Richard “Rick” Lawson, Steve Brady, Sam “Charlie” Simpson, David Kerr, Joan Sandland, Paul Kingsley, Syd Porter, Jim Turner, John Challen and Clive Lucas, most of whom were only in their 20s during the 1970s and so are therefore probably still alive today?
With Brexit now secured and ReformUK on the ascendancy their active participation in the party is now surely more needed than ever – particularly to advocate a more forthright neo-Imperialist policy as the country’s destiny! Needless to say, if anyone could enlighten us about the current whereabouts of any of these people we would be most grateful.
