Nelson Mandela Statue: Is it now time to remove it? - British National Party

Warming up for his fall anti-Trump world tour, Obama gives a speech in S.A., the "Nelson Mandela lecture."   As to be expected, the mainstream press goes to work overtime promoting it.

But who was cult figure and icon Nelson Mandela -- really?  As per usual, reality turns out to be vastly different from PR illusion.  Pays to review the real facts as partial counteraction to the brainwashing one gets on a daily basis.

My Great-Grandfather, the Nigerian Slave-Trader | The New Yorker

Anthony Bourdain worth only $1.21M at the time of his death



Somewhat less than CelebrityNetWorth had confidently advised us (only off by a factor of 13):



Anthony Bourdain net worth: Anthony Bourdain was an American chef, author, and television host who had a net worth of $16 million dollars at the time of his death in 2018. Anthony Bourdain was born in 1956 in New York City. He was a 1978 graduate of the Culinary Institute of America.

Safe to say that CelebrityNetWorth is something less than an unimpeachable source for this sort of thing......

July 4 Is Matrix Reinforcement Day - PaulCraigRoberts.org

Major Gen. Smedley Butler concluded it was all a scam:



“I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period . . . I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.”
