The Economic Freedom Fighters will advocate the ultimate integration of the African continent by eliminating national borders, according to its founding manifesto. Appears Julius received the Zuckerberg memo.
The "protest movement" led by Julius Malema said the borders between African countries were "unnecessary", especially those between South Africa and Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland. Julius Malema, the consummate community organizer and protestor. Far too rad for even the ANC.
"The EFF will... advocate for the ultimate integration of the African continent through the erosion and eventual elimination of unnecessary borders, which, in the case of South Africa will entail the Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland borders in a manner that involves and includes the participation and approval of those countries," it said in its manifesto.
"This will also be encouraged in other parts of the African continent." This formed part of the EFF's policy on "progressive internationalism". The EFF said it would also advocate for free trade across the continent. "Progressive internationalism"...yes, we're quite familiar with the terms of reference.
On immigration, the movement committed itself to taking up the struggle of all immigrants, whether they were in South Africa legally or illegally. It said immigrants should be guaranteed basic rights when they were in the country. "Certain basic rights cannot be denied to any human being who is in South Africa, whether they are in possession of certain documents or not.
"Basic rights that should be guaranteed include access to health, access to education for children, protection from super-exploitation by employers, and access to burial rights in South Africa." Food stamps, housing, midnight basketball, etc.
The process of applying for citizenship should not be complicated. The EFF is holding a conference in Soweto on Friday and Saturday to work out its policies and manifesto. From Soweto to Utopia, the dream.

If they were serious and not just power-hungry communists they would be working for an ever increasing free-trade zone and strong regional alliances. It does make sense for the south part of the continent to be well integrated, but I don't think any "Progressive internationalism" is going to work well for anyone except their own leadership.

In simple economic terms, the inland African states would greatly benefit from free-trade arrangements. They suffer heavily by being isolated from world markets by their sea-port-possessing neighbors' tariffs, customs corruption, and regulation.
On the other hand, a relatively-well-governed country like Botswana has got to think twice about lashing itself to the roiling, gigantic mess that is today's South Africa.

A state in Australian has put forward a new law which would require Muslim women to remove their burkas to prove their identity to the police. The new law was introduced in Western Australia following public outcry over a case of burka-wearing woman Carnita Matthews, who had a conviction of knowingly making a false statement quashed.
Matthews received a six-month jail sentence after she was found guilty of falsely accusing a senior constable of forcibly trying to remove her burka when she was pulled over while driving in June 2010. However, she was later acquitted on appeal after the prosecution could not prove she was the woman who signed the statement while wearing the burka.
The bill will require "a person remove headwear or do other things to facilitate the officer being able to confirm a person's identity". In addition, officers will also get explicit powers to detain a person while they comply.

I've stopped watching the local news on TV, but it doesn't seem to have had much publicity here. Burkas are rare here in Perth. I've only seen a couple.

Girl I'm sure I caught you red handed,
lying through the burlap pouch.
You told me what was you was you,
Though you looked like a dorm room couch.
Thought I saw you in the curtains
Wasn't me
Weren't hiding in the bedsheets
Wasn't me
Crawled underneath the floor rug
Wasn't me
Curled up in the deep shag
Wasn't me
Quick jaunt in a girl bag
Wasn't me
[Jpost] People infected with a deadly virus that emerged in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... last year may have caught it from one-humped camels, used in the region for meat, milk, transport and racing.
In a study into what kind of animal "reservoir" may be fueling the outbreak in humans, scientists said they had found strong evidence it is widespread among dromedary camels in the Middle East.
The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which can cause coughing, fever and pneumonia, has been reported in people in the Gulf, La Belle France, Germany, Italia, Tunisia and Britannia.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says 46 people have died out of a total 94 confirmed cases, the majority in Saudi Arabia.

Funny, the Stormfront logo is missing from the site.
I guess they see themselves as 'socialists' and not 'nazis' (which is only 'national socialists.') As Bucharin said, anti-semitism is merely 'socialism for the stupid,' which if you think about it suggests that leftism is only nazi-ism for supposedly smart people. this comes full circle when it turns out they're not as smart as they think they are.
[Breitbart] As we near the October 1 implementation date of ObamaCare, it is becoming increasingly clear that the federal government isn't prepared. Late last week, HHS quietly reduced by one-third the number of hours of training required for "navigators," individuals tasked with helping the public enroll in the program. Hurry! The Congress and staffers have opted out already ! Get them deployed immediately, HUD can give you the Chicago Zipp codes. The ACORN folks being hired as staffers will be allowed to move their lips in the reading comprehension test...
The decision to cut training adds to already existing questions about how effective the "navigators" can be. Should have tasked the Dept. of Agriculture, they've got 48,000,000 enrolled in the Food Stamp program. Enrollees are eating, gaining weight, and happy. No bitc*ing so far.
"Navigators" are tax payer federally funded community organizers activists who are supposed to help the public navigate the insurance exchanges and apply for any qualified subsidies. By design, individual navigators can have no ties with the health insurance industry, raising the question of how well they can help individuals select the best coverage option. Farming Insurance be hard ?
Originally, HHS required navigators to undergo 30 hours of conversational English training. That requirement has been reduced now to just 20 hours of training. Even the original requirement seemed insufficient to understand such a complex multi-thousand page program. Hopefully the weapons qualification block of instruction was not deleted.
With less than two months until the health exchanges are supposed to open, more problems are coming to light. Expect more decisions like the cut in training over the coming weeks. Navigators will no longer be required if amnesty is approved. We'll be well over the hump and have achieved a Robert Mugabe-Lite, one party system by then.

20 hours of training to win the prized Silver Sextant? Outrageous! The bad hands people have taken over, we endure much out-of-pocket in this bizarre exercise.

In related news, I received a phone call from what sounded like a snotnosed 19 year old from Brooklyn agitating for dick durbin. His sales script was horrid, but off script he couldn't shit a kernal of sense if he had eaten corn for a straight week.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
