The Mark Burke revelations about R4-bn in questionable forex transactions are the result of a SARB investigation, a high court judgment and reportage by at least two mainstream media outlets. If that’s your “misinformation axis” I’d suggest you book yourself in somewhere for a reality check. Or is something only “true” if it’s in a DA media release?
Most white controlled media is blocking out the news of the DA corruption by using pay walls. This includes media24 the loud anti corruption publication where blacks are accused of corruption. They are hiding the serious allegations against DA finance chief Mark Burke’s company over R4 billion corruption! Whites defend whites instinctively!
Yesterday the DA tried to make this out to be a private company matter. Today it comes to light that they’re key beneficiaries, if not the architects of what looks like a well coordinated money laundering scheme. This calls for investigation into @Our_DA party finances.
Say it isn't so! One of the DA's paragons of virtue -- its finance chairperson, Mark Burke -- is ensnared in an investigation by the Reserve Bank. They're looking at a "reasonable suspicion of exchange control regulations to the tune of R4-bn". Burke is chairman of Kastelo, the company that's being investigated, and it's run by his brother.
Reminder that the DA, much like the ANC, firmly believes in outsourcing the state to the private sector.
More of these scandals will continue to happen until the state starts insourcing again.
Jason Arday is dead.
They spent weeks stripping him bare. The race realist who started the fire. The Telegraph. The Spectator. Every line of his thesis, every fundraising claim, every mile he said he ran, every threat he described... forensic, relentless, turned into sport. A Black working class autistic man who reached a Cambridge chair became their perfect scalp. “DEI darling.” “Fraud.” The glee was the point.
He resigned under the weight of it. Said the unrelenting scrutiny and personal attack had reached the limits of what any person should endure. Nine days later he was found unresponsive at home in Battersea. Unexpected. Not suspicious. Forty one years old.
This is how the right works. When someone from the estates, the wrong skin, the wrong neurotype climbs into their institutions, they bring the full apparatus. Every error is a national scandal. Every exaggeration is proof the whole project of equality is a lie.
Meanwhile their own misdemeanours and crimes get the soft treatment. Boris Johnson lied to Parliament about parties while the country locked down... process, delay, shrug. The PPE VIP lane handed billions to Tory donors and mates for kit that never worked while NHS staff went without. Michelle Mone and the rest still counting the money. Serial sexual misconduct and bullying by Tory MPs protected until the last possible second. Farage’s endless grifts and contradictions waved through by the same papers that demanded Arday’s head.
They don’t care about integrity. They care about hierarchy. Accountability is a weapon they point downward. The powerful stay protected. The climbers get destroyed.
Jason Arday faced the spotlight they never shine on their own. The rest of us saw it. We remember. The real scandal was never one academic’s record. It was the double standard that keeps the powerful safe while breaking anyone who challenges the order. That is the fight.
For those who don't know, Gaza today bids farewell to 112 innocent martyrs, most of them children and women, in what is considered the largest funeral in human history.
So many ordinary people have lost their livelihoods for merely speaking out against this.
Our media ignores these atrocities at best. But they mostly justify it. And of course, Americans, despite their increasingly dire financial situation, are forced to fund it.
But remember, don’t dare criticize Israel as your gas prices continue to skyrocket due to yet another war they wanted. That would be evil and “antisemitic.”
I am glad this issue is over because it was a massive distraction and Khan seems to have committed misdeeds, but don't be naive enough to think that this is where it ends. There has been an effort to punish those trying to hold Israel accountable, while letting Israel off the hook for its crimes.
That is why they have been targeting other ICC officials, Francesca Albanese, Al-Haq, Addameer, Al Mezan, and PCHR. There is an effort to destroy anyone who holds Israel accountable and it is working.
This is a world where the powerful do whatever they want and anyone who tries to defend the powerless pays a price.
