UNCENSORED NEWS FROM HENRY MORTON STANLEY SCHOOL OF CHRISTIAN JOURNALISM   The sex scandals tolerated and covered up for so many years within Roman Catholic institutions are indeed terrible scandals. However, there is an even bigger scandal behind it. Gay Mafia Reign of Terror Father Edwin Palka, a Roman Catholic parish priest in Tampa, Florida, writes that there is a gay mafia at work within Roman Catholicism to “punish, humiliate and blackmail decent, God-fearing priests”, if they threaten to blow the whistle on the endemic cycle of abuse within the Roman Catholic system. “Many people still do not understand just how evil the activist homosexual priests and bishops are… they cannot possibly grasp the hellish depths to which these clergy will go to persecute, lambaste, punish, humiliate and blackmail anyone who stands in their way, or threatens their way of life.” Father Edwin Palka writes that the gay mafia is carrying out a reign of terror on “good priests who teach the truth about homosexuality.”  Disproportionate Dominance An associate professor of Religious Studies at John Carroll University warned that, in the United States’ Catholic churches, the percentage of priests who are homosexual could be as high as 50%. That would be roughly sixteen times more than the percentage of gay men in the general population.  Homoheresy Promotes and Protects Predators Father Dariusz Oko, in his 2013 essay on Clerical Homosexuality: “With the Pope Against Homoheresy” reported that homosexual priests and bishops have abused seminarians, teenagers and children and that there was a gay mafia at work within Catholicism protecting these predators. In an interview with Life Site News, he reported: “About 30 to 40% of priests and 40 to 50% of bishops in the USA have homosexual inclinations.”  GayGB Secret Files Abused by Pink Inquisition Palka reports that the gay mafia’s power over future priests begins in seminary. Students who enrol with the intention of being trained to be priests, are required to provide a great deal of personal details, including their history with chastity, sexual activity, criminal activities and their fears, dreams, hopes and concerns. The longer a student stays in seminary, the thicker his file grows. It continues to grow after his ordination, as the highly centralised Catholic hierarchy maintains files on each of their priests and members that could only be rivalled by the KGB of the Soviet Union. Much of this information is in the hands of the GayGB and Pink Inquisition, which often abuses this confidential information for nefarious purposes.  Entrapment and Blackmail Palka lays out various real life scenarios, such as: A priest who struggles with his own homosexual urges, wanting to remain chaste and live out his vows of chastity, can be manipulated by homosexual bishops and set up to fail. “Suppose a priest’s file reveals that as a teen he was sexually abused by an adult male. As a result of this formative abuse, he struggled with homosexual desires as an adolescent and into his early adulthood, but always remained chaste. Once ordained as a priest, he spoke out fervently against the acceptance, promotion and legalisation of homosexual activity and other sins. His homosexual activist bishop, knowing his past, makes him a Boy Scout Chaplain, where he will be working closely with the bishop’s handpicked and openly active homosexual lay diocesan Scout leaders, hoping and even encouraging him to finally fail and fall to his boyhood abuse giving in to his homosexual desires to sexually abuse one, or more, of the scouts.”  Set up to Fail in Honey Traps “It is not just homosexual priests who can be manipulated in this way. A heterosexual priest who has been sexually active before being ordained and who dares to speak out against homosexuality, could similarly be assigned to be the chaplain of a girls high school, in a hope that he would succumb to temptation.” Palka writes that the Gay mafia are not at all above exploiting the seal of the confessional to threaten and manipulate decent priests into silence and even to pick up other priests to commit homosexual acts with them. “These men know the way the church works and they use that knowledge for their own evil ends… they have embraced evil. There is a huge difference between a weak man striving for holiness and a man who has sold his soul to the devil.”  The Growing Scandal There were some accusations of molestation by Catholic priests, dated back to the 1950s. Significant media attention began to pick up these scandals in the 1980s, particularly in the United States and Canada. In 1995 when the Archbishop of Vienna stepped down amidst sexual abuse allegations, the issue began to grow with stories emerging in Argentina, Australia and elsewhere. By the late 1990s, revelations began of widespread historic abuse in Ireland. A church commission report, in 2004, revealed that more than 4,000 Roman Catholic priests in America had faced sexual abuse allegations in the previous 50 years. These cases involved more than 10,000 boys. A 2009 Report in Ireland found “sexual and psychological abuse” endemic in Catholic-run schools and orphanages. In June 2018, a former Vatican diplomat was sentenced to 5 years in prison for possessing child pornography.  Grand Jury Investigation in Pennsylvania An American Grand Jury Report noted a pattern of homosexual predation in the US Catholic church, beginning in seminaries and culminating in the College of Cardinals. The Grand Jury’s opening statement: “There have been other reports about child sex abuse within the Catholic church. But never on this scale. For many of us, those earlier stories happened someplace else, someplace away. Now we know the truth: it happened everywhere.” At least 300 predator priests are named in the Grand Jury Report, accused of committing horrific sexual abuse over seven decades. The number of their victims is estimated at least 1,000. The harrowing 887 page document is a result of a two year Grand Jury Investigation into widespread sexual abuse of children within six dioceses of the Catholic church in Pennsylvania.  Pornography and Paedophilia In the overwhelming majority of cases, the delinquent clergy, were homosexual predators preying on adolescent, or young adult, males. The victims were frequently older boys, or seminarians. For example, Father Mauro Cautela purchased homosexual pornography on church computers. Cautela’s rectory computer was overflowing with homosexual pornography, which was used to groom young boys and prepare them for abuse. Most of the priests investigated targeted post-pubescent teenage boys, normally between 15 and 17 years old. Father Paul Spisac possessed homosexual and sadomasochistic pornography, including images of him and two 15 year old boys.  Homosexual Epidemic in Honduras In Honduras, 48 seminarians wrote to the bishops in July, protesting a “homosexual epidemic” in the seminary. This followed months of allegations involving homosexual abuse of seminarians by the auxiliary bishop, Juan Jose Pineda.  Chile Crime In Chile, all 34 bishops were summoned to Rome after revelations of a gay priest sex-ring, involving bishops and superiors. All 34 Roman Catholic bishops in Chile offered to resign in the wake of the child sex scandal and cover-up.  Cardinal Abuse Theodore McCarrick, retired Cardinal Archbishop of Washington DC, was forced to step down after seminarians and priests accused him of decades of homosexual predation. McCarrick called those under his charge: “nephews” and asked them to call him “Uncle Ted.”  Homosexual Predators Deny the Sinfulness of their Actions In 2002, the John Jay College of Criminal Justice studied the crisis of priestly sex abuse in the US and produced its report in 2004: “80% of the abuse at issue was of a homosexual nature.” Imminent Catholic author, Father Dwight Longnecker, noted that the social and sexual problems have theological roots. “In treating priests who have engaged in paedophilia and ephebophilia, we have observed that these men, almost without exception, suffered from a denial of sin in their lives.”  Utilitarian Ethics Justify Hedonistic Abuse These abusive priests rejected the church’s teachings on sexual immorality and adopted a “utilitarian sexual ethic.” Above all, the predator priests had “come to see their own pleasure as the highest end and use others – including adolescents and children – as sexual objects. They consistently refuse to examine their consciences, to accept the church’s teachings on moral issues as a guide for their personal actions, or regularly avail themselves of the sacrament of penance. These priests either refuse to seek spiritual direction, or choose a spiritual director, or confessor, who openly rebelled against church teachings on sexuality.”  Wide Gates to Hell The sexual abuse crisis in the Catholic hierarchy is a criminal scandal, but it also has Theological roots. Almost 500 years ago the great German Reformer, Professor Martin Luther, warned: “I am much afraid that schools will prove to be wide gates to hell, unless they diligently labour in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advise no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not constantly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt.”  The Rot Begins in the Seminaries It is clear that not only does the Roman Catholic church welcome unregenerate students into their seminaries, but teaching the Scriptures and proclaiming the Gospel is hardly any kind of priority for them. Hence, by failing to engrave the Scriptures in the hearts of their students, they become corrupt.  Catholic Civil War This is also symptomatic of a civil war waging in the Catholic church. On one side are the traditionalists who insist that abuse can be prevented by tighter adherence to church doctrine and on the other side are the liberals demanding that the church cease condemning sexual acts and allow gay priests to step out of the closet.  Does Celibacy Aggravate the Crisis? Those who believe that the Roman Catholic requirement to have celibate priests is what encourages this abuse need to note that the most sexually permissive environment on earth, Hollywood, is awash in even more horrific scandals. It is not just Harvey Weinstein, there is an entire sub-culture of paedophilia, rape and abuse throughout Hollywood.  Hijacked by Homosexuals The Roman Catholic church has been hijacked by homosexuals. The situation is similar to the anti-Christian Inquisition of the Middle Ages. Contrary to popular perceptions, the Inquisition was not a group of Christians mercilessly persecuting unbelievers. The Inquisition was the exact opposite. Reading the Court records of the Inquisitors, such as in Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, it becomes clear that the inquisitors were by no means Christians at all. They would vindictively condemn to death Christians who believed in, translated, or taught, the Holy Scriptures. Often the inquisitors contemptuously tossed the victim’s Bible into the fire to be burned with the martyr.  Anti-Christian Inquisition Anyone who has read Foxe’s Book of Martyrs, or similar historical records of the cruel persecutions endured by the Waldensians, the Huguenots and other Protestant reformers, will know that the Inquisition was anti-Christian. The Inquisition occurred at a time of blatant corruption, when priesthoods, bishoprics and even papal seats were bought and sold. There were many ungodly men dominating all levels of leadership in the medieval Roman church. Far from the Inquisition being Christians persecuting non-Christians, the reality is that it was the very opposite. The Inquisition was an anti-Christian persecution of Protestant believers.  A Problem of Criminality We know from the John Jay Report, 81% of the victims were males, mostly teens. We know that the subclass of predators are almost all male. This is predominantly male on male crime and primarily with teens between the ages of 14 to 17 years old. Those are the victims. Brad Miner, Senior Editor for The Catholic Thing, pointed out that “while many cardinals of the Catholic church are treating the crisis as a public relations problem, it is a problem with criminality.”  The Homosexual Connection Miner pointed out the homosexual element of the abuse scandal by pointing out that pro-LGBT Jesuit priest and Vatican advisor, Father James Martin, downplayed the problem of abuse in seminaries. “James Martin doesn’t want to hear it, but it is a homosexual problem!” Miner pointed out that the 2005 Vatican document issued under pope Benedict XVI, prohibited declared homosexual men to be admitted to the seminary. Plainly pope Benedict saw that it was a homosexual problem.  Infiltration and Subversion for Social Engineering However, the same people who continue to put increasing pressure on churches to accept homosexuals for ordination and legalise homosexual “marriages”, are the same people who scream “Abuse!” when many of the very people they have been campaigning for, turn out to abuse the young boys entrusted to their care! “Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonour their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie…” Romans 1:24-25  GayGB Mafia Protects Predator Priests Miner cites Sociologist and clergy abuse expert Richard Sipe who estimated that at least 30% of Catholic priests in America have homosexual orientations and amongst bishops, it could be as high as 50 to 60%. “We have to focus on what is the cause of these children, young children, seminarians, continually being abused by predatory priests – and that is what we have to stop. One of the ways of doing this is the disciplining, the firing, of bishops who have been protecting them for decades. This homosexual network that protects and promotes its own is what is causing this continual cycle of abuse in the seminaries, in the rectories, in the sacristies and in the schools. People are justifiably terribly angry that people sat on this information, that no action was taken, that priests were put back into circulation. It is a day of reckoning for the Catholic church.”  A Clear and Present Danger Liz Yore noted the inappropriateness of the Vatican hosting hundreds of children and young people in Rome this fall, to discuss youth, faith and vocation with the bishops. Considering what has recently come to light in the church abuse scandal, “We have not even resolved this problem and we are going to be exploiting children at the synod on youth, all to expand the teaching of the church with respect to homosexuality! That is what’s up! It has got to be stopped! It is a danger to the children! It is a danger to the church! It is also a danger to the faith!”  The Word of God “Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonour their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:24-32 Dr. Peter Hammond

  “… ‘We have made a covenant with death and with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it will not come to us, for we have made lies our refuge and under falsehood we have hidden ourselves’.” Isaiah 28:15 Agitprop Active Measures at Work Those of us who attended the parliamentary hearings regarding the African National Congress (ANC) government’s plans to confiscate farms, were given a classic example of how communist agitprop (agitation-propaganda) active measures works.  Bussed-in Party Agitators Huge crowds of uniformed EFF (Economic Freedom Fighters) and ANC (African National Congress) rent-a-mobs were being bussed-in hours before the event even began. There was a party atmosphere (in more ways than one) and the venue (a large Apostolic Faith Mission Church) was strewn with litter. The disruptive mobs made it hard for any Capetonians to access the venue to give verbal testimony to the parliamentary sub-committee gathered there. Hundreds were not even able to get through the door and milled around outside, including members of City council, etc.  Confusion in Communications and Changed Venue Parliament had originally been advertised as the venue for the hearings, but barely a day before the event, a new venue was announced, leading to much confusion. Considering how many municipal buildings and city halls and how parliament itself was available to the government, it is inexplicable why they had to rent a church venue. Except, perhaps, that they would prefer to have a church venue trashed by their rent-a-mob than a government building.  Free Food for Agitprop Rent-A-Mob It was then pointed out that this venue was ideal for the purposes of the EFF and ANC as it was just across the road from a KFC and MacDonald’s. Reportedly, many of the EFF and ANC rent-a-mob members had been promised free KFC lunches and from the vast amounts of fast-food litter strewn around the grounds of the church after lunch that certainly seemed to be the case.  Time Constraints Considering that each citizen who wanted to give verbal testimony was limited to 3 minutes each and that five hours had been allocated (from 11am to 4pm), a maximum of 100 people could have spoken. As it was, with the delays and disruptions, something less than 80 out of over 2,000 people who were crammed into the church were able to be given any kind of hearing.  Parliamentary Hearings Regulations Kicking off the Hearing, the Chairman of the proceedings informed everyone that this was a sitting of parliament and therefore everyone needed to behave accordingly and no politicising, shouting, clapping, booing, or any other disruptive behaviour would be tolerated.  Cancelling the Promised Afrikaans Translation The Chairman assured us that the parliamentarians sitting on the platform were only present to listen and they would not be saying a word all day, as they had come to hear the people of Cape Town on this matter. This was then repeated in Xhosa. When the translator was about to repeat the introduction in Afrikaans, he was told not to bother.  Remember That we are in a House of God After telling us that the members of parliament would not say a word all day, the Chairman gave each parliamentarian an opportunity to introduce themselves. MP Steve Swart of the African Christian Democratic Party (ACDP) greeted everyone in the Name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ and reminded all present that we were gathered in a House of God and should behave accordingly. There was some abuse shouted at him from some of the mob gathered.  Marxist Sloganeering by Members of the Parliamentary Committee Then followed the incredible scene of one EFF (Everything For Free) party member after another of the parliamentary committee making rousing political statements and shouting slogans encouraging huge mob hysteria, screams and dancing by their unruly supporters in the venue.  Disproportionate Representation Considering that the EFF obtained only 6% of the votes country-wide in the last National Elections and much less than that in Cape Town, it was extraordinary to see that 12 of the 23 members of the parliamentary committee were EFF.  DA Absent from the Fight Although the Democratic Alliance (DA) are meant to be the majority party in the Western Cape, we only noticed one person representing the DA stand up from the floor to give any reaction to the proposed amendment of Section 25 of the constitution. We did see a gathering of people in DA shirts with their distinctive blue banners, across the street but we did not see them inside the venue, nor did we hear from them. It would appear that the Democratic Alliance was absent from this fight.  Marxist Prejudice on Display at Hearings The vast majority of those chosen by the chairman to represent our concerns in the Cape were uniformed EFF and ANC rent-a-mob. Very few supporters of the ACDP, Freedom Front, or Cape Party were granted an opportunity to speak and almost no DA supporters were in evidence inside the venue. Blatant Bias Throughout the 5 hours of this hearing the chairman continued to choose uniformed EFF and ANC people as the predominant amount of members of the “public permitted” to give verbal testimony. Time and again, one would hear the chairman choose speakers by saying “the man with the red beret”, “the man wearing the yellow ANC t-shirt”, “the lady with the ANC headdress”, “the man in the red EFF shirt!”, “the man in the red EFF jacket”, “the man wearing the ANC shirt!” and so on!  Political Realities in the Cape At the Bi-election last year in Brackenfell, the DA received about 70% of the vote, the Cape Party received 19% of the vote, the Freedom Front received 9% of the vote and the ACDP, ANC and EFF all received less than 1% of the vote. That was just one major area of Cape Town, Brackenfell, but there is no doubt that the majority of voters in Cape Town support the DA and only a very small minority support the EFF. You would never had known that from the so-called hearings in Goodwood last Saturday.  Verbal and Physical Assault Although there were quite a fair number of Cape Party supporters wearing their distinctive shirts, none were selected to speak. In the end when one woman supporting the Cape Party, but not wearing any identification, stood up to speak, she was actually assaulted by members of the rent-a-mob in the upper gallery! When Jack Miller of the Cape Party stood up to speak, the abusive threats and shouting so drowned him out, that it was hard to hear most of what he said.  Contrast of Reactions Everyone listened quietly and respectfully to the endless repetition of radical communist rhetoric and repeating of mindless slogans, yet the moment anyone started to comment critically on the proposed amendment of Section 25 of the Constitution, they were shouted down by increasingly loud and abusive threats and insults. Loud Abusive Heckling Tolerated Although the chairman, on numerous occasions, said that he will not warn the people again to have no shouting, booing, or heckling, the abusive heckling, threats, shouting and blatant politicisation was tolerated until the noise was so deafening that you could barely hear what individuals were saying, despite the use of microphones and a PA system.  Marxist Hijackings of Proceedings Looking around the chaotic scene inside the Friends of God Church in Goodwood, one could see huge sways of the area dominated by the red berets of the EFF, or the yellow shirts, jackets and head dresses of the ANC. One could also see many of the young people, some actually just teenagers, sleeping in the church. Evidently their purpose was not to come and listen, or to speak, but merely to occupy seats to ensure that most of the Capetonians who came to participate in these hearings would not have space inside and would be forced to remain voiceless outside.  Fraud Exposed The Joint Constitutional Review Committee’s public hearings on amending Section 25 of the Constitution seemed to have been a complete fraud because, even before the hearings began in the Western Cape, ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa announced that, no matter what, the ANC was going ahead with expropriation of land from whites without compensation.  Farce and Deliberate Wasting of Time It was a farce because no attempt was made to enforce the rules and blatant politicisation and slogan-shouting. Mob-rule was not only tolerated, but actually even encouraged by members of the committee. Instead of reasoned debate and discussion, considering facts and evidence of case studies in recent history, repetitive shouting of slogans and deliberate wasting of time ensured that the majority of Capetonians who had come to contribute to the discussion were not able to be heard. Failure to Allow Capetonians to be Heard It was plainly a failure if the intention had been to investigate whether it was even necessary to amend Article 25 of the Constitution, considering that they tolerated mobs of uniformed political agitators to fill much of the venue and to dominate the vast majority of the hearings.  Counter Productive As a Missionary, who has served suffering people throughout Africa for over 37 years, it is clear to me that the planned Expropriation Without Compensation would be counter-productive. In every case where expropriation without compensation has been implemented, the result has been far greater poverty and suffering for the poor and most vulnerable.  Case Studies in Recent History The case studies include: Stalin’s Soviet Union where dekulakisation land reform resulted in the hunger plague which killed 11 million people and displaced 18 million. Red China where Mao Tse Tung’s Great Cultural Revolution destroyed millions of lives, thousands of years of Chinese history and culture and led to widespread famine. The Red Terror under Mengistu in Ethiopia. The disastrous land reforms of Julius Nyerere in Tanzania. The catastrophic famine that resulted from Samora Machel’s communist land reform in Mozambique. The complete destruction of the once agriculturally rich food exporting Angola and most recently, Robert Mugabe’s catastrophic land confiscations in neighbouring Zimbabwe.  Political Power Built on the Backs of the Poor In every single case dictators accumulated more power; even while they violated their promises and oppressed the very people they claimed to be serving.  Guaranteed Pathway to Starvation Land Expropriation is always disastrous. Evicting capable, experienced farmers from land their families have carved out of wilderness and thorn bushes and cultivated, curtails food production and creates hardships and unemployment. Socialist land reform always leads to starvation in the cities.  The Goal is Not Farming But Looting Farming is hard work and it takes expertise and experience. As the Zimbabwe experience showed, most of those advocating expropriation without compensation are not interested in getting up early to plough the fields and milk the cows. Most are not interested in cultivating crops. Most just want to loot productive farms, smash the equipment, burn the homes and then go back to the city to watch TV.  Pathway to Disaster Recent history demonstrates the disaster of government interference in the economy. It also demonstrates the disaster of breaking God’s Commands. “Thou shalt not steal.” “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s goods.”  Consider the Casualties Missionaries are busy caring for the casualties of such irresponsible political decisions in Zimbabwe, the Congo and other socialist experiments. Let us not follow in the footsteps of failure.  Why Disrupt Productive Farms When the State Has Vastly More Land Available? The South African government is in control of vast amounts of land which are unoccupied and unproductive. Rather than settle and develop those lands under government control, they prefer to disrupt productive farms and evict experienced farmers. The South African government has more than 4,000 farms at their disposal which they have acquired over the last 24 years on the “willing buyer, willing seller” basis, which have not yet been reallocated to any farmers.  A Cynical Policy Designed to Distract Voters from the Failure of Government We suspect that the present policy of expropriation without compensation is being cynically promoted to distract voters from the failure of government and the looting of this country by excessive taxation, inflation and corruption.  A Christian Response to Race Politics Race politics is highly irresponsible. We need to learn to love our neighbour, not to covet and envy and hate and resent. We need a Christian work ethic, not socialist greed and yet another failed state.  Waste of Taxpayer’s Hard Earned Money The billions of Rands squandered by the ANC on VIP protection for parliamentarians and the billions squandered by the ANC on bailing out South African Airways (SAA) and the billions squandered bailing out the state controlled ESKOM, electricity provider, would be better spent investing in agriculture and training rural farmers and other entrepreneurs.  Private Initiatives by Farmers are Achieving More than Government Policies AgriSA in their 2018 Transformation Report, released in April this year, reported on spending over R331 Million on transformation initiatives nationally, with 109,059 black farmers benefiting from their training and development, mentorship and farming initiatives. It is quite clear that private enterprise initiatives, such as these, are a far more effective and sustainable model than the failed state land grabs which have only led to greater poverty and starvation. This is clearly evident everywhere it has been implemented.  Illegal and Unconstitutional Political Opportunism Expropriation Without Compensation is in blatant violation of our Constitution. It is illegal by our own Bill of Rights and laws. It is dangerous to erode our Constitutional safeguards. It would be catastrophic to break our own laws for political opportunism.  Economic Suicide It would be economic suicide to violate the Laws of God and the laws of economics. To chase away employers, investors and tourists would result in millions more unemployed and much greater suffering and even starvation. It would be insane to destroy our productive agricultural sector with this highly irresponsible political scheme.  Race Hate Betrays South Africa Expropriation Without Compensation would be a betrayal of the vision of the united, colour-blind South Africa, where: “Never, never, never again will any South African be discriminated against on the basis of their race!” Innocent Until Proven Guilty in Court by Due Process It is a fundamental principle of justice that a person is innocent until proven guilty. Due process of law is essential. Checks and balances are vital. No person should be deprived of their property without due process in court, with all reasonable opportunities to defend themselves against any and all charges.  It Is Irrational to Pronounce a Whole Race of People Guilty One cannot pronounce a whole people group guilty of any crime! It is not rational, nor is it fair. If any individual has stolen, or expropriated without compensation, let that be tested in court in accordance with the law. Do not do anything against your neighbour that you would not want done to yourself. Do unto others what you want done to yourself. Restitution is Personal Not Political Restitution must be done by the convicted criminals to the victims, directly and entirely. It is not right for people who did not do any crime to be required to do restitution to people who are not the victim! Restitution is not meant to be a scam for politicians to go on a vote while they loot the country through corruption, taxation and inflation.  Real Help and Hope for the Poor If our government really wants to help the poor, then they must stop stealing from them by corruption! The African Union estimates that 25% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is stolen by corruption every single year! If the ANC want to empower the poor – give them legal title deeds to their own homes – so that they may have collateral with which to secure loans.  The Only Path to Prosperity and Progress If the state wants to create jobs and grow the economy – then they must respect private ownership of property. Do not erode constitutional safeguards and thereby chase away investors, entrepreneurs, tourists and job creators. Socialism is the pathway to ruin. Let us rather follow examples of excellence in Singapore and Switzerland. Decentralise. Create tax havens. Respect life and property. Hope for South Africa The only hope for our country is to turn away from race politics and hate. We need to love one another. We need to turn to God in humility, to humble ourselves and pray and seek His face and turn from our wicked ways. Then God will hear from Heaven, He will forgive our sins and heal our land (2 Chronicles 7:14). Each one of us on the Day of Judgement will one day stand before Almighty God and give an account for every word that we have ever spoken. “For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good, or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10
