So here we go again. Another Minister Lamola personal insult aimed at an American leader (this time me) which, when denounced (which I’m doing now), will result in a demarche with a lecture about being “undiplomatic.” And then the South African government wonders why relations are collapsing.

����🇦🇺🇸The truth about who is actually responsible for the fuel increases in South Africa… The US/Iran War, or the ANC ⁉️
Any businessman or individual with a basic understanding of profit and loss knows that when your customer market expands, your revenue should rise correspondingly. Normal operating expenses may also increase, but usually at a much lower rate, which should improve net profits.

In South Africa the population increased from 40.6 million in 1994 to 63.1 million in 2025. This represents an increase of 55.4% in the customer market, and thus represents a huge revenue increase for government fuel levies and profits.

Unemployment rose from 1.5 million in the early 1990s to 8.2 million in the first quarter of 2026. This is an increase of 447% in the number of unemployed people. It is no use of increasing your customer market with 55%, if the market who cannot buy or contribute to the profit, increased with 447%.

Since the ANC began its campaign against the apartheid regime, the rand fell from R1.48 per dollar and R4.00 per pound in 1984 to R3.27 per dollar and R6.00 per pound in 1993. (Buy the way, in 1974 during the Apartheid regime, the Americans had to pay $1.44 to buy R1.00). This was a drop in value of 122% against the dollar and 50% against the pound. Between then and 2010 (when the “Rainbow Nation” of the world was supposed to have been in such a better position than before) the rand weakened further to R7.32 per dollar (another 124% decline) and R11.30 per pound (another 89% decline). Since then, it has fallen a further 144% to R17.88 against the dollar and 108% against the pound (to R23.60). Overall, since the ANC came to power the rand has lost 403% of its value against the dollar and 263% against the pound. Just imagine what the previous regime could have accomplished just from this aspect of a Rand power. Where could South Africa have been if the Rand continued with its strength as opposed to the value it currently holds (R1.00 can today only buy $0.06 as opposed to when R1.00 could have bought $1.44).

Since the ANC came to power, the price of 93-octane petrol rose by 560% to R8.58 per litre in January 2011, at a time when the oil price stood at $96.52 per barrel. The petrol price continued climbing under the ANC and by January 2022 had reached R19.36 per litre - a further increase of 126% - while the oil price was lower at $92.53 per barrel. From the early 1990s, when petrol cost R1.28 per litre just before the end of apartheid, the price has risen by 1447% (One thousand four hundred and forty-seven – for those who don’t know how much 1447 is) to the current R26.76 per litre. Throughout this period the oil price has remained in a similar range: $94.35 per barrel recently, $83.42 in January 2023, $82.98 in January 2024, $79.27 in January 2025, $66.56 in July 2025, and $60.21 in January 2026.

The ANC would like the public to believe - and its propaganda against Israel and the US/Iran war encourages this view - that the war is the reason for the large petrol price increases experienced recently. The evidence, however, clearly shows that the ANC has been driving petrol prices steadily higher for more than 35 years. To blame a war and claim that disruptions in oil distribution and oil prices are the cause of these inflated prices is pure ludicrousness. Yet, the majority uneducated population believe this.

Simply ask yourself: How could 93-octane petrol cost R10 per litre in January 2008 when the oil price stood at $145 per barrel, yet today, in the midst of the US/Iran war with the oil price at $94.35 per barrel, we pay R26.76 per litre? That is a 168% increase in the petrol price while the oil price dropped by 35%.

During 1980, the Apartheid regime operated with an oil reserve of 100 000 000 barrels (We held 0.01% of the World oil reserves). By 1997, the ANC sold these reserves and then operated with only 26 700 000 barrels. Today we operate with only 15 000 000 barrels (We now hold only 0.00085% of the world oil reserves). By the time when the ANC took power, the previous regime produced more than 200 000 Barrels of oil per day. Today, 32 years later, we only produce 95 000 barrels per day. During 1992, South Africa imported 244 200 Barrels per day. By 1998, we had to import 386 700 Barrels per day, and today we need 397 708 Barrels per day.

Therefore:
▪️ The vehicle-driving-age population increased from 25 million in 1990 to 48.1 million in 2025. The ANC has been incapable of controlling the huge (approximately 16 million) immigration inflow, as well as being unable to provide the massive increased population with jobs.
▪️ The increased driver-age population represents a potential 90% increase in petrol users, which should automatically increase government revenue per litre of petrol in 2025 compared with the 1990s. Since then, the ANC has also introduced extra fees such as fuel levies. The ANC has been incapable of managing these large additional revenue streams, as well as the proceeds from selling the huge oil reserves inherited by the previous regime.
▪️ The rand dropped from R2.59 per dollar in 1990 to R17.88 per dollar in 2025 (a 591% decline). The ANC has been incapable of managing crime, business sentiment and internal corruption, and has destroyed previously strong relationships with countries that were allies for many decades. International countries no longer want to deal with a government who they cannot trust.
▪️ During periods when the oil price per barrel was $145 (January 2008), $96.52 (January 2011), $92.53 (January 2022) and $94.35 (September 2026 – US/Iran war), the South African 93-octane petrol price was R10.00, R8.58, R19.36 and R26.76 respectively. Over the past 32 years, when there was no war to blame for disrupted oil supply routes, the ANC still increased petrol prices by more than 1447%. Even while oil prices remained relatively stable around $92 per barrel during recent months of war, the petrol price has risen by a further 25% since January.

The question remains: Who is to blame for the petrol price increases? The US/Iran war that has not significantly affected the average monthly oil price per barrel… or the ANC government that has raised petrol prices by 1 447% since coming to power, increased the number of unemployed by 447%, sold our rich oil reserves which was there to carry us during exactly the times we are facing today, and who driven the value of the rand down by 591%?

It is time that voters start to think for themselves, instead of believing every nonsense that come from their chosen corrupt government officials.

He should write more. There is a whole lot that can be deduced from this:

1) It serves as another reminder that there is no distinction between party and state. Let’s not forget that point, because it is part of the reason why SA has failed on foreign policy. Internal party political considerations override considerations of national interest.

2) The ANC-regime is starting to crumble, and that is becoming all the more clear, and the ANC is starting to come to terms with it. One of the clearest signs of this realisation, is the ANC resorting to desperate conspiracy theories. The obsession with our organisation, attributing views and positions to us at times that we did not exist, is all the more clear how desperate they have become.

3) The view of the ANC about the economy and business remains a state-controlled view. Investment must be in essence, investment in the views of the ANC. They see businesses in South Africa, that do not conform or align with the ideology of the ANC, as an unwelcome negative force. Business doing business, is in the eyes of the ANC, extraction and exploitation.

Same old outdated ideas, will have the same outcomes as other socialist-inspired countries around the world.

Es geht. Wenn man will.

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

I do. It's actually a really simple answer.

Kids can understand it. I'll tell you the story now so you can be ready when you finally have grandkids, Mario Awful.

For decades, Israelis tried to work with the Gazans, believing the impossible: that people who have declared that they want nothing more than to have Israel destroyed and Jews killed might be able to be persuaded to be friends by giving them land, money, resources, opportunities, and an infinite amount of patience.

During those decades, huge amounts of humanitarian aid was sent to the Gaza Strip, which they used to militarize and to spend many years planning a savage surprise attack against the people helping them. Almost everyone in the world took up their cause, even many Israelis who lived right next door, even though the Gazans were taking advantage of all that help.

They were offered everything but wouldn't accept it because all they wanted was Israel to be destroyed and Jews to be driven out or, preferably, dead. They were so fixated on that goal that nothing else mattered, and nothing else was good enough. They even used water pipes to build rockets and dug terror tunnels under their city and deep into Israeli territory to prepare for a surprise war.

On an important Jewish holiday and their sabbath, the Gazans sprung their surprise attack. That was October 7, 2023. They launched over a thousand rockets at 6:30 am. The Israelis heard the sirens and knew they only had seconds to hide in their shelters from these attacks. By the way, every Israeli house has a bomb shelter in it because these kinds of attacks are so frequent. Also, every Israeli adult and child, little boys and little girls, knows from as soon as they can walk that when the sirens sound to go to the shelter because it is so important and so common.

As the Israelis went, exhausted and sleepy, to their shelters to hide from the rocket attack, the Gazans sent a large armed force across the fence into Israel to do the most heinous things to the Israelis that you can imagine. Over a thousand were murdered. Things so horrible you cannot describe them to children happened everywhere. The Gazans celebrated and filmed themselves and put it on the internet, bragging and boasting about unimaginable horrors and murders. They dragged Israelis, including women, children, and babies and dead bodies, into their terror city and terror tunnels and started abusing and killing them slowly, using them and their corpses as collateral against the Israeli people and military. This lasted for over two years, with the last hostage's remains returned at the end of January 2026 after being taken in October 2023.

The scale and nature of this attack is so horrific that it cannot be described politely, but its true evil wasn't just in the barbarity of its forces, which did unspeakable things to completely innocent men, women, and children everywhere they went, including many who openly supported them for years, but in how they took advantage of the trust and help they were given to do it.

Gazans had spent years exploiting the goodwill of Israelis in the Gaza Envelope to gather intelligence, working as gardeners, housekeepers, taxi drivers, etc., to gather detailed intelligence of the neighborhoods and homes they would systematically attack starting on October 7. So many Israelis were betrayed at their trust and goodwill toward the Gazans, and by it. While they hid from those rockets in their shelters, Hamas terrorists systematically went through the carefully mapped streets of their neighborhoods, broke into houses, and shot them dead through the doors of their shelters, or crashed in through the walls from the outside using their own farming equipment to do it. Hamas terrorists knew the Israelis would be hiding from the rockets and knew where they'd be hiding, and they murdered them while they hid, deliberately, planned out in advance and for years.

These people weren't just Israelis or Jews. They were innocents. In fact, as far as it goes, many of them were the greatest champions for the Gazans in Israel. Didn't matter. They were Israelis. They were Jews. They had to die in the most horrible ways you can think of. They had to be desecrated. They had to be taken hostage. It all had to be celebrated on video streamed live onto the internet to excite their radical friends around the region and the world. The horror is actually incomprehensible.

Had this happened to Americans in the United States from one of its neighbors, the response Americans would have demanded cannot actually be comprehended. I stand in awe at how restrained and cautious and decent and good the Israelis have been, and it is to my slight embarrassment knowing that our own people, our own forces, wouldn't have managed a fraction of that decency, however much we would match the unparalleled effectiveness of these operations. That is, Mario Awful, I don't f*cking want to hear it, and neither do your grandkids. Respect them enough not to soil their minds with these lies, which are so evil that Hell itself would be slightly embarrassed to spread them.

So, when Israel realized what had happened to them, what was still happening to them, how their trust, support, and patience had been taken advantage of in the nastiest and cruelest way human beings can possibly imagine, for zero good reasons and only unbelievably evil ones, they set out to make sure it would never happen again. They started a war of rescue and to end the military capacities of the Gazans, who were and still are governed by a radical terrorist group that even has in their charter that they want every Israeli driven out and every Jew that can be killed dead.

Israel waged a patient war with the highest accuracy rate of any in the entire history of urban warfare, taking great pains and many casualties to spare innocent life, even when that innocent life openly supports the terror regime that governs them and wants them dead. The Gazans, however, had spent decades turning their entire city into a hidden military fortress, hiding weapons, entrances to terror tunnels, command centers, and every conceivable military target within civilian neighborhoods, including even homes, schools, hospitals, and houses of worship. Israel did what it had to do as carefully as it could be done. The devastation you see is the result of the evil of Hamas and the Gazans who support it having spent decades organizing their city to become a vast, sprawling military installation.

The Gazans and their terrorist leaders took this organizational approach specifically for two reasons. One was to deter Israel from ever attacking or disabling their military installations at all. Even when the devastation seen here, that remained the case. Israel took great pains to minimize, including casualties, including complicated legal approvals, including warning both civilians and combatants in Gaza of incoming attacks against the installations, trying to save all innocent (and a lot of not-so-innocent) life. Another was to produce this propaganda, which Mario Awful, after having his account built to giant size by @elonmusk himself, spreads and promotes with foolish emotion-driven emojis and devastating lies of omission of these facts.

Even as Israel dismantled the entire military capacity of Gaza bit by bit (which is what you see in the video here), they sent aid: more food, medicine, and other supplies than have ever been sent to a population controlled by an enemy military in the history of warfare, period. The terrorist leaders leveraged every bit of it against them, stealing it and starving their own people, creating propaganda campaigns about genocide and forced starvation, and even building more rockets out of raw materials including water pipes, which they then fired at Israel.

Bit by bit, Israel dismantled as much of their military apparatus as they could and rescued or recovered all of their hostages, including among them Americans. The result is what you see. The result you see below is the most painstakingly moderate response a decent human being of even the slightest comprehension could possibly imagine, and yet that's what the Israelis have accomplished in Gaza.

And they accomplished it while the world hated them for it, scrutinized everything not just for any legitimate breaches of perfection but for a litany of illegitimate accusations of things so voluminous that they could not even be recorded, except that they were in the relentless propaganda of social media, the global enemy propaganda channels, and even the mainstream press, almost all amplified and repeated by even allegedly good, decent conservatives who found these lies a perfect reason either to reveal their underlying but hidden hatred for Jews or to turn to that evil on false pretenses you are promoting, even now, even today.

So when you sit down to tell your grandkids how humanity allowed Gaza to happen, tell them the real story.

Humanity allowed Gaza to become a terrorist militarized city openly dedicated to the destruction of Israel and the murder and desecration of Jews and Jewish bodies by believing in some asinine humanitarian concept that defies all logic. It happened by creating a global political situation that, for reasons of Communist political correctness and soft-hearted and softer-headed compassion, refused to believe the simple reality of the situation. It happened because this delusion and misplaced trust persisted for decades while Hamas and its supporters turned Gaza into a terrorist military outpost that would simply have to be destroyed sooner or later, and then they pulled that trigger on themselves in the most obvious way possible on October 7, 2023, which stands as one of the darkest days of the last century.

Humanity allowed Gaza to happen because it wouldn't take Hamas at its word. Humanity allowed Gaza to happen because it lied to itself for decades about the nature of the Islamic currents that motivate Hamas and "Palestinianism" more broadly. Humanity allowed Gaza to happen because it wouldn't address a problem correctly from the beginning, not least because it was terrified of being called racist and refused, nobly but stupidly, that human beings could be led by ideology and religion to the depths of evil and depravity that had captured the Gazans.

Humanity allowed Gaza to happen, that is, because it refused to take Gazans at their word.

Israel, starting in late 2023, finally woke up in the worst way possible to the need to STOP LETTING GAZA HAPPEN, the result of which your video depicts and the truth and moral of which you, like a demon, invert.
