I’ve just watched the Henry Nowak body-cam footage. Digwa deserves the death penalty and his family who covered for him deserve life in prison.
The police officers also deserve life in prison.
The country may well erupt over this.
The demand for Elon Musk to surrender 30% of his business to operate in South Africa is absurd.
Bringing infrastructure, creating high-skill jobs, and expanding the national tax base should be more than enough contribution from any global entity.
The South African government claims this is about compliance, but in reality, it's a system of state sanctioned theft.
While other corporations have quietly paid for political patronage to bypass these rules, Musk is calling out the corruption. This 30% norm hasn't empowered the people, it has simply enriched a circle of political elites.
Most businesses take the easy way out and pay the bribe, but Musk has the integrity to stand his ground and expose the rot.
BREAKING: The Australian government chose to arrest Ben Roberts-Smith in Sydney rather than his home state of Queensland because the government prosecution wanted less white Australians on the jury - “a more diverse jury pool.”
So in practice the Australian government want Hamas and Hezbollah supporters from Lakemba and West Sydney to sit and judge Australia’s most decorated veteran from the Afghan War.
This explains why the Australian government rejected Ben Roberts-Smith’s repeated offers over multiple years to peacefully hand himself in. Instead they chose to arrest him on a plane in Sydney in front of his children and the wider public - a calculated humiliation ritual.
Sydney Morning Herald: “One well-placed source suggested investigators might have waited to arrest Roberts-Smith in NSW because they wanted access to a wider and more diverse jury pool” than more conservative Queensland, where he lives.
84% of Americans think you should have to prove you're a citizen before voting.
You need ID to buy alcohol. To board a plane. To pick up a prescription.
But proving you're eligible to vote in American elections?
Somehow that's controversial?
The 16% of people who oppose this need to clearly explain what exactly they're protecting by making it easier for ineligible people to cast ballots.
