A far left hit piece against GAB was published in Newsweek and the Washington Post, owned by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, which was based on a “report” published by the jewish Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The so called report highlights how people post GAB links on Twitter that the ADL doesn’t like. GAB is the alternative Social Media APP for people that have been abused by left wing platforms like Facebook and Twitter, and has become a refuge for Conservatives and Christians who have realised that the Establishment itself is far left.

In the media world there is a saying: If it bleeds, it leads. However according to the headlines and frontpages of mainstream media nowadays, it would seem this is no longer the case, as alleged racism is treated far more serious than murder or rape and given far more coverage! In fact with 56 murders a day, many homicides barely make the Facebook pages of these newspapers and rape doesn’t even get reported in many cases!

Advisers appointed to solve Eskom’s mess AWOLS while the general manager of Actom Power Systems resigns from the team as she is not looking forward to the pile of work waiting for her
Posted on Leave a comment
Cyril Ramaphosa’s advisors he recently appointed to solve Eskom’s mess with constructive advice is slowly but surely abandoning their jobs.
His appointed team is shrinking by the day with a second member of the committee who decided to resign.
The task team is intended to advise the ANC government on what needs to be done to save the bankrupt power supply provider from total downfall.
Sy Gourrah, the general manager of Actom Power Systems, confirmed she’s resigned from the team as she is not looking forward to the pile of work waiting for her.
Experts say the fact that Eskom is one of Actom Power Systems’ biggest clients can be the main reason why she prefers to quit.
Earlier, a former head of Eskom, shortly after his appointment in the task team, decided not to go ahead and submit his resignation.
That leaves the task team with only six members to draft the report and submit it to government for cons

One of the main reasons why the country’s economic situation can worsen further in 2019 is because the Treasury is in the hands of Africans – of the 55 chief directors there are only seven white men and ten white women
Posted on Leave a comment
The Treasury has released dreadful news in a report indicating the breakdown of chief directors at the department.
Figures by Tito Mboweni indicate that of the 55 chief directors there are only seven white men and ten white women.
The other posts are filled by 25 black men and women, six coloured’s and seven Indians.
This means that only 30.9% of jobs are filled by whites while only one white holds a director-general’s post.
The report is considered by experts to be one of the main reasons why the country’s economic situation will deteriorate further in 2019.
With Ramaphosa’s inability to make Eskom and other state-owned industries profitable, the year is set to deliver dark times.
