If I recall correctly, you made comments about a South African post, maybe a month ago, which led to me making this post for you. I'd left it as a draft because I was focusing on the news for a while.

Pretty comprehensive looks into the power brokers' long term plans and the resultant assured power structure failures that followed. And the inevitable wars that wage on. Whether by explosion or by exhaustion it will eventually end. Hopefully soonest. Nothing but power struggles always ultimately produces more powers to repeat the process. These demonic powers are masters of deception. They appear to be winning in every way right up until they lose.

There are rarely liberators, just new power deals.

Nope. No liberation unless it's been a controlled opposition pretend variety. But at the rate these demons are falling and flailing we may find that stat changing at some point. But it was a nice historical meander. Refreshing actually as opposed to our current events. We so easily forget that we have already seen all of this before.

Yep, our fellow masses have been meek and stupid and indifferent and selfish before. Opening the door for the bully only hits us on the way out.

Yes you are correct. Your history series of vids was very enlightening. I was in Capetown a few years ago doing some diving but I never really was there long enough to get a feel for what things were really like. When you're anywhere as a tourist you never really see life as it is.

Often, us locals don't either. When I've gone to CPT, it was to Court or for business, not to 'enjoy' gang areas after dark. Underwater, you're likely to see less... and sometimes more e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s0LTDhqe5A
