In case you’re wondering who controls Ramaphosa, you see the white chap behind him?
He is Martim Kingston, the chairman of Rothschild, and a key figure in the project to dismantle government’s key role in the economy. He is the most influential person amongst those misleading government to pursue what they call “structural reforms” under Operation Vulindlela.
Simply put, these so-called structural reforms means government no longer being a key role player in the economy. They are driving the collapse of Eskom through its unbundling and bringing in the private sector to be the key energy producer in the long-term. There is pressure on Eskom to let go of its transmission network and effectively hand it over to the private sector. Eskom without control of transmission assets, is as good as dead. We’ll be told that “clean energy” from the private sector should be prioritised in pursuit of climate change goals.
Transnet’s rail assets have been sacrificed to the private sector. They intentionally collapsed Transnet’s logistics capacity in order to smuggle private sector participation in the rail logistics business.
The next phase is to privatise the provision of water by granting licences to the private sector to operate in this space. Municipalities will in the long run no longer be providers of key basic services.
Once this destructive programme is complete, there will be a government that has minimum economic leverage and no capacity to directly participate in the economy and drive development. The private sector is being handed key strategic assets necessary to safeguard our economic sovereignty and national security.
Ramaphosa since becoming President has focused entirely on this treasonous project and neglected his responsibility to grow the economy and create jobs.
Soon the private sector will profit from our misery with government having no capacity to influence our economic destiny.
Mo'Nique won an Oscar for "Precious." She was paid $50,000. The film made $63.6 million.
Then she refused to promote it for free. She says she was blackballed for it.
In the video below, she explains who asked her to work for nothing, and what they said when she asked to be paid.
She never complained about the $50,000. "That's what I signed up for. It was an independent film."
She finished her promotion in the US. Then Lionsgate asked her to fly to Cannes. She said no.
They offered another week in France and a better room. Her husband asked if there was a dollar amount. The answer: "We will never pay anyone to promote a film."
Then Tyler Perry called her into his room. He and Oprah were producers on the film. She says Perry told her a nomination would make her next movie worth $3 to $5 million. A win, $6 to $8 million.
"You can pay me to promote it," she told him.
"I'm not in the habit of giving out money for free," he said.
"Then I'm not in the habit of working for free."
She says Oprah's longtime makeup artist, Reggie Wells, asked Oprah why she didn't just pay her. Mo'Nique says the answer was: "I won't be paying her nothing."
She won the Oscar anyway. She says the big offers never came.
The case for the studio: every actor promotes their film. That campaign helped win her the Oscar. And $50,000 was the deal she signed.
So should Mo'Nique have promoted it for free?
Mo'Nique won an Oscar, and Netflix offered her $500,000 for a stand-up special. Amy Schumer got $11 million for the same thing.
When she asked why, Netflix told her, "We don't go off of resumes."
In the video below, she tells the whole conversation herself.
Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle got $20 million a special, she says. Schumer went back and got $2 million more. Mo'Nique had won the Oscar in 2010 for Precious, a role she says paid her $50,000.
Netflix's explanation, in her words: Schumer had sold out Madison Square Garden twice and had a big movie that summer. And by the way, "we believe Mo'Nique is a legend too."
She asked her fans to cancel Netflix in January 2018. Most of the internet laughed.
Netflix said its opening offer was fair. In 2019 she sued for race and gender discrimination. A federal judge let the case go ahead, and it settled in 2022.
In April 2023, Netflix released her special, My Name Is Mo'Nique. Five years after "we don't go off of resumes."
Was Mo'Nique worth more than $500,000, or was Netflix paying for ticket sales, not trophies?
Every day: a famous name, the real offer, and who got paid more.

The ADG message protesting the use of his picture after he inducted a national statement with disinformation on Mr Esethu Hasane calling his victimization “devoid of truth” - when Mr Esethu Hasane asked how he could instruct such a statement when his own signature signed reports that say Mr Esethu Esethu is a victim he responded that thinking he read those reports is preposterous.
