Nelson Mandela ´proven´ to be a
member of the Communist Party
after decades of denial

Telegraph [UK], by Colin Freeman and Jane Flanagan

Original Article

Posted By:earlybird, 12/10/2012 9:04:35 AM

Cape Town--For decades, it was one of the enduring disputes of South Africa´s anti-apartheid struggle. Was Nelson Mandela, the leader of the African National Congress, really a secret Communist, as the white-only government of the time alleged? Or, as he claimed during the infamous 1963 trial that saw him jailed for life, was it simply a smear to discredit him in a world riven by Cold War tensions? Now(Snip) a new book claims that whatever the wider injustice perpetrated, the apartheid-era prosecutors were indeed right on one question: Mr Mandela was a Communist party member after all.

He was jailed for plotting to blow up the Parliament. He had explosives.

We always knew he was a communist which is why the left deified the man.

Mandela is a member of the Communist Party AND a terrorist.

Communist and terrorist....of course the left thinks he such a wonderful role model. Just their ideal.

Walks like a duck, squawks like a duck? Really, when you take the total of their words and actions, how hard is it to spot a communist/socialist? Oh, that´s right, a majority of the USA voters STILL haven´t figured that out.

This little tidbit might have been nice to know prior to him becoming completely incapacitated, incoherent, and on the verge of death... you know like when he was in charge of a whole country and being praised as a modern day messiah.

Thanks media. /s

For the last 15 years of his imprisonment, SA was trying to get him to leave the prison. All he had to do was say he wouldn´t try to blow up parliament. He refused.

Who cares what he is now? The only thing that matters to me is that the earth will be a slightly better place when he and his "wife" are no longer on it.

The ANC was always tied to the Soviets, the masters of slavery. But to "progressives" that was a good thing. And it´s no coincidence that South African Nobel Peace Prize winners Tutu and Mandela are passionately anti-American (that alone can win you a Peace Prize nowadays - just look at 2009´s recipient).

Mandela never hid his early flirtation w Communism. He later disavowed it and violence too, as part of his political maturation. This is not news. Read "Long Walk to Freedom. ". He divorced the evil Winnie in part because she wouldn´t give up violence.

Historic trivia now. The CP was in all the black African political movements. Moscow was in a Cold War and backed anyone who irritated the West or who would produce chaos.

The dogma of communism seems to provide answers to every problem. The complexity of democracy does not. Communism thus appealed to the black intellectuals and leaders in Africa.

After all, who doesn´t want answers to problems when you are running a revolution?

Gen. John Allen has been appointed special U.S. envoy on security issues in negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. He will not mediate between the parties; his work will almost exclusively involve contacts with Israel. Allen will deal with the U.S. position on Israeli security needs and the security arrangements that would accompany the establishment of a future Palestinian state. Senior U.S. and Israeli officials note that while U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel made the appointment it was coordinated with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who is leading the effort to restart Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose

MARK LEVIN: So why didn´t Chairman Issa hold an investigative hearing a year ago? Why didn´t Chairman Camp, all Republicans, hold an investigative hearing a year ago, and all the other tripping over themselves right now? I´ll tell you why. Because the establishment Republicans, the RINO Republicans, despise the Tea Party. They despise the conservative movement. We exist to be managed, to be shuttled to the polling place, to vote for their candidates. The Karl Roves of the world, and all the rest of them. They fight us in the primaries, they fight us at the grassroots.

Fox News chief Roger Ailes has sent a memo to his subordinates at the leading cable news network. He sent this memo to his staff today in connection with the federal investigation into an alleged leak to Fox News reporter James Rosen, a story that the Washington Post’s Ann E. Marimow broke earlier this week. The memo’s a masterpiece, too. For all those who wonder what it is about Ailes that endears his people to him — and that makes him such a good interviewee for any media reporter lucky enough to get an audience

On Wednesday, Drummer Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, a man who had served Queen and country honorably in the hell of Helmand Province in Afghanistan, emerged from his barracks on Wellington Street, named after the Duke thereof, in southeast London. Minutes later, he was hacked to death in broad daylight and in full view of onlookers by two men with machetes who crowed "Allahu Akbar!" as they dumped his carcass in the middle of the street like so much roadkill. As grotesque as this act of savagery was, the aftermath was even more unsettling
