Ron’s Thoughts …

Greece is in debt. Spain is in debt. Portugal is in debt. Ireland is in debt. The USA is in debt. The Euro may collapse. 

Who the hell is the creditor ?

The banks of course, nameless,faceless, entities that write up books whereby everyone owes them money.

With hyper-inflation, that is on the horizon, it does not matter whether you owe money or saved money. All money is worthless. It is nothing more than ink written in a book.

You can’t eat gold.

You can’t shelter under bonds.

Savings  are worth nothing.

Think carefully about getting back to basics.

The Rugby World Cup is presently in progress.

Many thousands of people are singing their Anthems, cheering on their teams, and generally enjoying themselves.

The countries that are playing  are quite diverse. South Africa, New Zealand, England, France, Argentina, Japan, etc.

After the first 2 rounds, all the favourites, excepting Australia, are through.

It surprises me that, in Europe, France and Italy play rugby but Germany, Spain,Portugal,Holland,Poland, etc. do not.

Also in Asia, India, China, Malaya, Korea, etc. do not play rugby but Japan does.

It is a game for ‘Tough Guys’ and I think that South Africans are right up there with the best of them.

Julius Malema, this 30-year old leader of the Youth League ?, has been re-elected as President.

He only sprouts hatred and poison against whites.

Nobody in government contradicts him.

Do they agree with him ?

We are in trouble.

We may be destroyed like Mugabe has already destroyed Zimbabwe.

The ANC has won again but with a reduced majority.

That is in spite of their brainwashing and intimidation of the masses of illiterate blacks.

The main opposition party, the DA, has increased their support from 16 % to 25 %

The writing is on the wall. Come the next elections, in 3-years time, this bunch of corrupt, incompetent bunch of thieves will be out of here.

In South Africa, in 2-days time, municipal elections are about to be held.

Any outside observer would note that it is nothing of the sort.

All political parties are out campaining.

I cannot change that mindset but I sincerely hope that the ‘Incompetent, corrupt, thieving Anc gets booted out.’

The ‘Bunny Huggers’ are saying that Bin Laden should have been captured, given a trial, but not killed. Also that he should have been given a Muslim burial, not dumped into the sea.

I think that better still, he should have died in one of the Boeings that crashed into the Twin Towers and be buried in the ashes of that disaster.

Good ridance to a murderer who caused many deaths and does not deserve to live.

Today in South Africa is a public holiday called ‘Freedom Day’ when in 1994 all people were permitted to vote.

Since that time, the poor blacks have become even poorer, and the politically connected blacks have become obscenely rich.

India has won the World Cup in the 50-overs format of the game.

Well done.

There is a strong South African connection.

Firstly, Indians comprise about 5% of the South African population.

Once South Africa lost in the 1/4s , all South Africans were rooting for India

They duly won and we cheered with them.

Full credit also to the coach, Gary Kirsten

We hope that he will coach South Africa next year

I have played chess for many years. I am not a “Master” but I do play a  reasonably good game.

Often, people will ask,” How many moves can you see ahead ?”

The answer is “Not very many. Maybe 5 or 6.”

Plans can change so radically depending on the opponents moves that anyone who says he can see very far ahead is talking rubbish.

Positions mean everything. Some are strong and some are weak.
