My concern for valid reasons
Article by Marc Aupiais
Concerns by Marc Evan Aupiais
Having worked with these two individuals (Luckson Masiyiwa, and the worst person I've met: Tafadzwa Mbwachena) on a group project, in which one gave a false email, neither turned up to arranged group meetings, and both were extremely rude, and when I went out of my way, and was to compile a speech for the group: decided to inform someone not giving the speech of their project many hours before me, and not to inform me that one was writing for both, even when I requested it. And when I attempted to approach them, knowing that the project was soon due, and to discuss it, the work hating pair of individuals saw me and avoided me. The sort of behaviour they followed, in a group where I was elected leader, makes me believe neither are befitting of the title lawyer, and I don't think they should be employed by an employer with discretion, due to their lack of work ethic, and professionalism.
Luckson Masiyiwa luckymasiyiwa@gmail.com 476158 (this email address registered as false, despite my double checking it with the individual, and making him and all group members confirm their addresses after copying them onto my lap top)
Tafadzwa Mbwachena fengambwa@yahoo.com 477504
Due to the utter hatred of hard work, these two individuals had, we were unable to meet even once as a group, and it was only because of extra-ordinary effort on my part, that I was able to track them down to submit their essays, which they did much later than any other members (2 days), and only one claiming to represent both.
I also have some concern about Karabo Mvubu who was our tutor employed by Witswatersrand University, to whom we gave the presentation, who told us to base our speech on a part of our course pack where the answers he gave us after presentation, were not present, who paid no mind to speech giving ability, and himself speaks too softly for a small lecture venue to adequately hear him. He also wondered about while students were giving speeches, going about his own business separate from marking, which is certainly off-putting, and not to be permitted, of someone who is paid for a job.
I do have evidence to further my claims, should you be interviewing any of these three individuals, who so deeply concern me.

Conservative Conservation
In the wild, how one would survive best: is to use what one needs to use only when it is necessary.
To destroy something you need for something other perhaps in the future: should only be done if it is the only way to achieve a needed end. To take the energy to carry an important thing is necessary, but sometimes it is needed to travel as light as possible, if the testimony of the Bushmen is a true one.
In the environment, we need to move away from activist language and into reality. The fact that almost everything the Green movement has claimed is a lie: from an ice age in Europe, to the end of the Himalayas Ice: makes their claims that science is to be a basis ridiculous. Their 'science' is nothing but lies.
That said, true science and wise use of resources: choosing simpler ways to do things etc could save us all.
Most of saving the environment without costing lives and economies is by simple solutions. Often lost.
Insulation, green roof-tops, roof and house paint, solar powered water, heat pumps, not so full kettles, etc.
A jersey or jacket instead of air-conditioning. A blanket over the window instead of both.
Sound advice: the gospel of using natural solutions: this is how we can save our planet. Efficiency! Professionalism, curatorship of our lives.
The use of a motor-vehicle powerful enough for our needs. Our everyday needs.
The world was not always reliant on much coal, oil, and electricity. Simpler, older solutions can be the answer.
A global effort at combating climate changes, can only happen on the basis of truth. I truly pray with all my heart that proven frauds such as the UN panel on climate change and Al Gore, are openly known for their lies. That those who hijacked environmentalism for their own selfish agendas are stopped.
But I do more than that: I tell the truth about the environment, because that is the only way to combat climate changes: sound solutions to Eco-problems: in a way sustainable in a real world economy.
Myths, and all out lies have no strength! But truth and openness to lower and simpler solutions acceptable to the existing marketplace will save us from any partly possible climate changes being an issue!

Finally Kindle on the Blackberry Tablet: the so-called Playbook (nothing dodgy meant by that)
It may seem just a plaything, though some consider it their playmate, the Blackberry Playbook however came minus one functionality my every other device had: a proprietary Kindle Book reading application.
Cloud Reader, for Ipad just wouldn't display or open books. Today, when I tried for the umpteenth time, I changed the orientation and true to form, it seems that the system was tricked. It has even opened a novel, although perhaps the entire system was updated.
Kindle for Blackberry Playbook with a work around, at least cloud reader, which given I always have internet over tethering or wi-fi: is good enough for now.

Not Carbon Based Global Warming After All- Nasa Satellite DATA Study
Article by Marc Aupiais
Forbes reports (And please note, additional research by our service shows they chose to publish it under their online blogs section)
New NASA Data Blow Gaping Hole In Global Warming Alarmism 27 / 28 July 2011
James Taylor
http://news.yahoo.com/nasa-data-blow-gaping-hold-global-warming-alarmism-192334971.html
The study, by the University of Alabama, based on Satellite Data claims that "Global Warming" caused by carbon trapping heat in the atmosphere is so minimal as to be negligible. The research, if noted by Carbon model proponents is sure to be hotly disputed.
As I reported recently, the Daily Mail, reported on a press release by the University of East Anglia, saying that most of the temperature DATA used to correlate with carbon levels in the polar ice, on which global warming claims are based, was destroyed by scientists in the 1980s, British media also reported on great inaccuracies in climate change claims involving the Himalayas, and other regions. The Daily Mail, and other media also recently reported that Earth is set to enter a mini-ice age, due to a temporary lack of Sun Spots (a phenomena discovered by Galileo centuries ago, which then lead to a 2 degrees centigrade reduction in temperatures). Media claiming climate science was in peril include: Daily Mail, the Times and Sunday Times, and the Telegraph in Britain, the first and last still claiming global warming as real.

UN wrongly linked global warming to natural disasters
The most recent discovery, that the computer models were wrong, would not surprise the columnists of these papers, which have for years cited the completely inaccurate short and medium term climate forecasts of the British weather servide, since climate change variables were introduced.
The alternate view of climate change is that it is constant and consistent, and more recently caused by soil changes, urbanization and astronomical phenomena such as sun spots etc.
University of Alabama, USA has released the following statement to the Press, July 26th 2011, according to a source cited by the Yahoo News article (Forbes hosted on Yahoo)
"Climate models get energy balance wrong, make too hot forecasts of global warming
HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (July 26, 2011) — Data from NASA’s Terra satellite shows that when the climate warms, Earth’s atmosphere is apparently more efficient at releasing energy to space than models used to forecast climate change have been programmed to “believe.”
The result is climate forecasts that are warming substantially faster than the atmosphere, says Dr. Roy Spencer, a principal research scientist in the Earth System Science Center at The University of Alabama in Huntsville.
The previously unexplained differences between model-based forecasts of rapid global warming and meteorological data showing a slower rate of warming have been the source of often contentious debate and controversy for more than two decades.
In research published this week in the journal “Remote Sensing” http://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/3/8/1603/pdf, Spencer and UA Huntsville’s Dr. Danny Braswell compared what a half dozen climate models say the atmosphere should do to satellite data showing what the atmosphere actually did during the 18 months before and after warming events between 2000 and 2011.
“The satellite observations suggest there is much more energy lost to space during and after warming than the climate models show,” Spencer said. “There is a huge discrepancy between the data and the forecasts that is especially big over the oceans.”
Not only does the atmosphere release more energy than previously thought, it starts releasing it earlier in a warming cycle. The models forecast that the climate should continue to absorb solar energy until a warming event peaks. Instead, the satellite data shows the climate system starting to shed energy more than three months before the typical warming event reaches its peak.
“At the peak, satellites show energy being lost while climate models show energy still being gained,” Spencer said.
This is the first time scientists have looked at radiative balances during the months before and after these transient temperature peaks.
Applied to long-term climate change, the research might indicate that the climate is less sensitive to warming due to increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere than climate modelers have theorized. A major underpinning of global warming theory is that the slight warming caused by enhanced greenhouse gases should change cloud cover in ways that cause additional warming, which would be a positive feedback cycle.
Instead, the natural ebb and flow of clouds, solar radiation, heat rising from the oceans and a myriad of other factors added to the different time lags in which they impact the atmosphere might make it impossible to isolate or accurately identify which piece of Earth’s changing climate is feedback from manmade greenhouse gases.
“There are simply too many variables to reliably gauge the right number for that,” Spencer said. “The main finding from this research is that there is no solution to the problem of measuring atmospheric feedback, due mostly to our inability to distinguish between radiative forcing and radiative feedback in our observations.”
For this experiment, the UA Huntsville team used surface temperature data gathered by the Hadley Climate Research Unit in Great Britain. The radiant energy data was collected by the Clouds and Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) instruments aboard NASA’s Terra satellite.
The six climate models were chosen from those used by the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The UA Huntsville team used the three models programmed using the greatest sensitivity to radiative forcing and the three that programmed in the least sensitivity."

South Africa to bail out failed dictatorship to tune of 10 billion without democratic reforms, amid crackdowns on decent?
One need not repeat the headline, what the SACBC Cardinal Wilfred Napier has asked is that South Africa demand Swaziland reforms before granting the bail out to the mismanaged land!
"Pretoria
24 June 2011
For Immediate release.
Statement by Cardinal Wilfrid Napier, Spokesman of the Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference (SACBC).
The Catholic Bishops of Southern Africa wish to register their concern at the financial bailout by the South African Treasury of the Government of the Kingdom of Swaziland.
It is understood that an amount of R10 Billion is needed to keep the Swazi Government afloat and the administration from collapsing.
Swaziland is currently in the throes of an unprecedented financial and societal crisis. It has
• the highest HIV & AIDS infection rate in the world (26%);• the lowest life expectancy in the world (32 years);• an unemployment rate of 40% and rising;• and extreme poverty with 70% of its population living below the poverty line of less than US$6 a day.• A State of emergency that has curtailed freedom of expression, association and dissent for the last 37 years.
We believe that the Swaziland Government must abandon or at least reform the "Tinkhundla" system of governance of royal favour and alliance which is a breeding place for corruption and greed. Monies intended for alleviating the people's suffering are diverted to support the lavish lifestyle of the monarchy.
The People of Swaziland love their King and Country, but the conditions that have created this crisis must not be disregarded by South Africa in considering a bailout.
We therefore call on the South African Government to make the loan CONDITIONAL on the following:
∙ the recognition and implementation the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Swaziland;∙ the revocation by King Mswati III of the royal decree of 12 April 1973 which established a state of emergency;∙ that King Mswati III enter into meaningful dialogue with his people in order to facilitate movement towards true democracy his country;∙ the establishment of a democratic process for writing a new constitution in which all Swazi's have a part;∙ that the current Swazi Constitution be amended to reinstate the full range of human rights;∙ And that none of the bailout money go directly or indirectly to fund the Monarchy.
In the same way that the South African Government has laudable process examining the sale of Arms to other countries, the same type of process should be employed when it comes to financial support for ailing regional economies.
Cardinal Wilfrid Napier
Archbishop of Durban
Spokesman for the Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference
(The SACBC is constituted by the Catholic Bishops of Botswana, Swaziland and South Africa)

That quoted, South Africa sold arms to Libya, North Korea, just saying etc. I don't think it will be conditional!

Government spokesman accuses the media of being-Cartel like
Government spokesman or perhaps ruling party or personal of himself spokesman is the question to be asked of Mnyani. Either way, South African media have huffed and puffed about the comments, worried as government tries to close the noose on media Freedom, already precariously on a cliff face in the Republic.
As for Mnyani, he says the media is like a cartel and refuses to answer on Norwegian corruption allegations.
"I ask myself ... Why is the media so hostile to the government" Myani is quoted by Independent Newspapers' political Bureau as telling Talk Radio 702 host John Robbie.
"They all speak the same, they all think the same" he is reported to have said of the three main media houses, saying media needed to be "diversified", a phrase similar to that of "transformed", by which loyal and incidentally black judges have replaced independent white ones in South Africa's post-apartheid judiciary (South Africa rejects the jury system).
Media in the Republic have claimed new regulations allowing government to prevent publication of articles, stories is tantamount to silencing the press. Media have and have always had no special rights or protections in South Africa, and journalists do get sent to jail for protecting sources, if caught, as with lawyers who have no attorney client privilege.
Manyi said that there were 'shocking' cartel-like tendencies at work in the call by SA National Editor's Forum chairperson Mondi Makhanya asking media to work together in light of the latest regulations suggested. Trade Union and Tripartyd Alliance member Cosatu has slammed the regulations as undemocratically penalising whistle blowers. Their close alliance with the ANC has lead to delays in the regulations' release.
Recently the Regulation of the Interception of Communications Amendment Act mandated that all mobile phone conversations' contents be recorded for the state by mobile (or in South African English: Cellular) Operators. This in addition to smses (texts) which companies already kept for five years after customers made them. Also to be kept for the government: all emails made through or in the Republic.
Added to this, and increased funding for the police now under a Zuma loyalist, and the army, the press claim that media freedom itself is at stake.
In South Africa where the ANC has had a massive majority in parliament since 1996, and the Nationalist party had the same setup before, media has often been the only real opposition voice.
Media in South Africa has been accused of a liberal or white bias, despite most journalists being black. This is not unexpected, and the opposing English (liberal, at times: anti-Apartheid) and Afrikaans (conservative, at times: pro-apartheid) views of the past are both at odds with the more Africanist ANC.
BEE, and transformation laws: mandating massive sale of shares to blacks, and hiring of blacks, and support of charities aiding blacks, not whites: something which has lead ANC allies to have massive unfair business success, have yet to cause media to become an ANC ally.
An attempt at an ANC newspaper failed recently. The SABC, the state run broadcaster has been accused since the days of Thabo Mbeki's presidency of giving cabinet ministers unfair time on television, and radio, and of being a propaganda service. SABC heads who don't toe the party line whether related or not, tend to be called to ANC headquarters.
The majority of South Africans get their views via Government radio, and not the barely penetrating three major independent press houses: Naspers, Independent Media, and SAPA!
The Selena Dilemma: what was MMVA moment about?
Selena Sunday hosted the Much Music Video Awards party in Toronto, Ontario, Canada: which blocked off half the city, and not just because of her close cut revealing outfits.
Her de facto boyfriend of late, Justin Bieber wasn't meant to show, but appeared saying he wanted to watch Selena perform, before talking of his basketball movie with Mark Wallberg!
Going up to receive his award from host Selena Gomez, on Sunday Canadian time, Justin Bieber openly glanced down Selena's revealing top on stage, while she either didn't notice or pretended not to.
They didn't kiss at the award and shook hands as he "awkwardly" flirted with her to quote MTV. He also either jokingly or really asked her out, saying she was beautiful- no mention of anything in common or her talent or intelligence, when he said nice to meet you. He was wearing a saved by the bell t-shirt (it went off the air in '93 the year before Justin Drew was born) with a revealing pic of a cheerleader. Selena who arrived on her own then left in his Black SUV with him and a black bodyguard. She left Toronto alone carrying a Teddy Bear she's had since her hospital nightmare at St Joseph's LA, and her big pillow (not the Justin Bieber branded one from Ellen she said he'd force her to frequent). It does seem she slept alone in her hotel room also. Perhaps Justin's SUV was just her lift or maybe they had dinner?
The night before Justin attended a party for his music career manager without her with a beer keg, hope he was old enough for that?
He looked uncomfortable near her at a basketball game between Heat and the Mavericks recently according to the Daily Mail, and has been avoiding her lately. An insider or secret press release as tends to be the case did say he missed a hockey match when he heard Selena had landed in hospital with malnutrition due to lack of Iron which causes exhaustion when not in adequate existence. No pictures of him at the hospital however, and he played a charity gig in another state while she was ill. Another "insider" source however says he visited her to cheer her up, before or after she recovered in uncertain.
After blaming junk food for her condition, Selena appeared in a Good Morning (GMA) America Central Park at a televised concert sponsored by fast food / junk food chain: burger king. She has consistently complained of death threats from Bieber fans, and has been visiting tropical Islands and yachting with Bieber, despite admitting on camera in her Dream Out Loud spring collection behind the scenes that she's terrified of (yachting, or) being on a boat for long, and can't stand flying low over water especially to islands.
While in Canada, as in Texas, Justin took her to eat chocolate, Ice Cream etc. He chose her ice cream for her when she wanted to try flavours in Canada. Perhaps she was right about that pillow? One must wonder why she wore not matching purple heels Sunday?
Selena has been sharing hotel suites with her boyfriend since the Vanity Fair oscar party, his 17th birthday and in her words, their "Prom", where he kissed her, and she first was photographed with her hand on his thigh.
They had shared with 6 or so friends in St Lucia, Caribbean, a large mansion before that. Here is where Justin was first photographed on a yacht kissing Selena Gomez, and touching her but while she was walking in front. She returned from this vacation with a huge smile. Which hardly disappeared with her many thousands of death threats, sometimes even becoming trending topics on Twitter. Justin, never to lose the spotlight complained of one or two death threats: saying they didn't hate him they hated the idea of him, whatever that was!
The suites have had more than one bed, if that was the intent. And in Hawaii there were parents, however its uncertain if these would object to the two sharing a bed, when PDAs as have been seen and hotel room sharing is so easily permitted.
While in Canada with Bieber, where Selena met his family, she slept over with Bieber at his grandfather's house, leaving in the same clothes as she'd arrived in. She then moved from her hotel to the house the next day. Perhaps her exhaustion or watching late night movies with what in America is still underaged, and around the world has many pre-pubescent traits despite these almost certainly only the physical. I unlike the many on the internet, do think Mr Bieber straight. And comments on his physical age do not mean anything illegal happened.
Before Bieber, Selena Gomez was known for an honesty and equivocation with media, but at the Billboard Awards she openly lied about her boyfriend's presence. She also has been accused of lying to Ellen Degeneres about her relationship, by Ellen Degeneres.
What had been a girl encouraging girls to control their relationship, and be strong, has become a face of objectified obedient women of late. Something her largely female fan base may allow also!

Google and Face Recognition
Article by Marc Aupiais
Google, has allowed images to be uploaded and searched. I tried myself, and some pictures ID'ed my websites, eg twitter, Facebook, Linkedin. A picture of my house at night broad of NASA-style maps.
Selena Gomez sometimes brought up Selena Gomez and sometimes not. Google seems to be suffering from the same condition as Justin Bieber, ID'ing my poster of Selena Gomez on my wall as Jasmine Villagas I thought Villages, bad on me;)!~:
Image search of my poster:
Google says:
Best guess for this image: jasmine v and justin
My own images had completely random people compared and couldn't identify me at all.
Google, like people uses its experience to find out who someone is. God simply knoweth;)!~
I know when friends or crushes act in a certain way, I take alarm. I am warned off or warned to act, even when wrong. Even when it is not so. God, and intuition/conscience work differently.
This is why we should trust God more in life! But also look into our patterns, what we believe of a person.
If I love someone its not the eyes, not the hair: but rather brown on both. Whether intuition, or the mom-like-girl theory or whether a Brown Eyed Girl had an effect on me I don't know. What I love is a presence someone has, their soul so to speak! Their inner and without! Their all! That melody that is a person!
Should we judge by beauty, or beautiful meoldy of the soul? I prefer the second. The first gets me in too much trouble as it is!~
P.s. This is a favourite shot of Selena Gomez for moi, because she looks innocent. As for Jasmine Villagas, I couldn't care less for. Google could, Justin Bieber could, Sony Music could... I couldn't...
And thus see no resemblance~
What we see is within who we are, what we experience.
Who we are, is based on the same. It is why artificial intelligence is yet to truly work!
But God knows all. Her isn't tainted by local bias.
Listen next pray!

My greatest weakness
What's my greatest weakness? Accountability!
I need to be honest, ethical, accountable in all I do: or I feel terrible, get sick, and cannot function.
I don't lie! I'm me! Always! Even if it hurts me!
I don't feel embarrassment! Not easily!
What some would hide I put up into print!
If I were mocked or bullied or hurt for telling truth! And there happened to be a camera recording it! And someone in charge of the mocking in authority! I might just save such video to hold them accountable.
Of course I am also discerning! There are actions I should do, to prevent harm to others that I will not do.
And I would not stop someone betraying or letting me down.
I have a need for accountability and to always be real and moral! And ethical!
What I get I must get the right way or I'll probably destroy or throw it out.
Mother told me a story as a child: of how the Allies when they came across the advanced Nazi medical knowledge, destroyed it: it was gained by murder!
It's guided me through life! Ethics! Not just looking good, being good! And gaining what you gain morally and honestly! Without destroying your own human dignity by sin, greed, unethical, immoral acts.
I was always taught "be international", there's always a "bigger pond", be accountable to the Universe and God.
It is this that stops me hating and enables me forgiveness! Though I struggle!
And accountability! This guides me! My name is who I am! I am Marc Evan Aupiais! I do all in my name!
Yes! It is a sin to reveal sins without just cause! But sometimes its a sin not to! Anything I do! I own up to! I face the music, and the muse!
My honesty is my greatest weakness! But its who I am! And I won't deny it! It is my choice! And thus my greatest strength!

The evil youth
Its assumed often that youth are depraved! That teenagers etc naturally are!
This wasn't always the case and in many societies isn't!
Teenagers may be depraved if their parents let their desires, every want, or tv or the shocking "teen" books out these days guide them.
But a fruit is of the tree!
A parent who raises an individual gets one. A parent who teaches things, money isn't everything but has importance next to other true gifts, which matter more: friendship, honesty, integrity, conscience, religion, virtues; godliness, God- gets such a child!
A parent who raises a thinking discerning child gains a thinking discerning child.
I am 20 turning 21! I still won't watch 18 movies or 16 for sex!
I also don't drink or smoke!
I credit much of this to my upbringing!
Born and bred!
I was taught to think! Before any other lesson was learnt!

Drug war- why the idiot governments fail
Politicians being the druggie associates they are, in many countries want to stop the drug war.
They say it fails.
I'll tell you why. When those buying have virtual impunity, supply continues.
If you want to stop drugs, have drug testing like alcohol testing and have long sentences- for users!
Not just small fines and done. No wonder you lose. No. Send drug users to jail, confiscate their cars and houses.
One may say- what it they don't seek help then.
Well perhaps create an amnesty for those who do and complete thirty days cold turkey or the like.
Fact is- the reason drug wars fail and lives are lost and the economies damaged- is that drug use only has the penalties of using.
6 months in a rehabilitation centre mandatory or the like, even when clean. And perhaps some hard labour would have a different effect if enforced and publicised!

Sexualization of minors slated by Great Britain
The Tory Coalition government in Great Britain has slated as detrimental the sexualization of children. Rightly identifying a main source, it has attacked music videos.
Another source seemingly left unidentified- lies in the immoral lives of celebrities children are encouraged to emulate. Especially American actors, actresses, and singers.
Particularly those of the ex-Disney brand- a situation caused by American refusal to ban child labour, despite evidence of lost childhoods, drug addiction, and other problems.
Russian Federation bans European Vegetables imports
The Republic's BRICS ally, the Russian Federation, has banned imports of European vegetables over E.Coli. Blaming Cucumber, the Sprouts, EU authorities have yet to find the deadly source of outbreak. Russia has determined to risk good relations with Europe, seemingly in order to insure Russian lives are not lost in diplomacy.
The Republic exports fruits and vegetables to Europe, and any imports from Europe in South Africa on fruits and vegetables are minimal. Our Russian ally, however, imports vegetables from Europe.
South African Ambassador fined
The Republic's ambassador to Uganda has been fined 100 000 in possible default judgement in the Republic for claiming our constitution should be rewritten to prevent gay civil unions enacted through activist constitutional court judges including a famous homosexuality. He compared laws on homosexuality to another deviancy in sexual behaviour.
Default judgement was given as he was out of the country as our ambassador!

DA doing better
I obviously voted DA. No question. Most white South Africans did. Most educated South Africans did. The better service and lack of nepotism is enough to attract voting.
Mother got us all to wake early and vote. I'd been planning a day off... But she insisted, so us four went off to vote.
I'm glad I did.
24 % is good. After Us is IFP with like 2 percent, then COPE, and the IFP offshoot.
24 percent, when whites are a minority. That means black votes. That means a lot of black votes.
I joked I wanted to play a Selena Gomez cd to block out the megaphone shouting ANC lies at campus on Monday already. Sadly many South Africans consider voting a duty not a right. That is to say if they register they feel they have no choice who to elect.
Fear and hatred of whites oft still dominates. We the slain beast. Just as Americans rejoice at the slaying of a certain senile arab.
Fear disrupts democratic truths. We are stopped electing who we want and instead vote against who we despise.
So, I voted DA... Because I'm sick... Tired... Of being ripped off for Electricity, unsafe roads, internet, telephone, cellular phone, tv. I'm sick also of a government which canvasses votes on hatred of my tribe- the white tribe- the "Europeans" who our basically illiterate president says are not consistent with a "true South African".
Speaking of which, #1984 who's next on America's hit list. Yemen?

The Third Instinct - By Marc Aupiais

Voting right
As we have a right to vote, we ought certainly vote right. Whether not voting at all, or voting for the right mayor.
Mother convinced me to vote this time. I am not to say for which party. Private as I am. No longer a Democratic Alliance politician at my University, I need no longer say whom I voted for.
Voting encourages transparency. Especially in by-elections when your voice is amplified. So few vote. So many count the consequence.
Both the COPE and ANC have raised the ancestors from the ground, and resurrected God for their campaigns- or so they claim.
The DA has claimed business management and experience and lack of corruption as their manifesto. And added bad dancing to the mix.
What does this all mean?
My electricity bill is so high it affects my ability to buy new gadgets. I am restricted in my number of pets I'm allowed, I think unfairly. Madmen have been forced to the streets so I fear to open my car window.
All this is my fault. Is yours.
For a healthy democracy we must debate, must vote, must raise the real issues and criticise both sides- objectively.
We must educate all on real issues. Not smoke, mirrors and sunlight dish washing liquid.
The DA and ANC's ability to build toilets and walls around them have been a focus.
People march and riot in streets. Police torture, murder.
My phone conversations, yours are all kept on record (RICA Amendment act), as with our e-communication.
Vote. But also talk politics.
Wake up oh sleeper. I certainly have. And I shall vote... Possibly DA as I always have.
Discuss the election. Write about it. Tell your friends on facebook.
You are more connected to your friends and acquaintances than anyone else... Than a distant newspaper writer with bi-focals.
Superman was my hero growing up. Not the guy with the underwear without. Likely not washed ever. And very uncomfortable and unfashionable in a woman's tights.
No- Clark Kent, Louis, his girlfriend. Tell the truth. It will set things right, and let the good out.
But tell it wisely. Look between the smoke and mirrors. God bless you. Now off and vote.

Note on Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber
I've been praying for Selena Gomez for two years. Mostly disappointed prayer! Mostly hardship! Pain!
One thing I will note. She must really love Justin Bieber. She risks her life whenever she goes near him. She risks her career, she is bullied and hated 24/7.
She has also lost many potential fans. And the rumours of unchastity have upset many. I know I lost many followers before I deleted twitter: for supporting her.
I don't think the feeling is mutual. Justin Bieber has created a cult around himself for years and continues this cult.
All the harm she faces daily for him, is due to this. Due to his statements and how he conducts himself. Money first, anyone else much much later.
I wish Catholic Selena Gomez would return. But she needs my prayer and your prayers.
She needs us Christians. To teach her soul and spirit that man is not God, nor worth your life if they intentionally endanger it for monetary gain.
Pray for Selena Gomez! And then for whichever famous person you know. I think fame is a weapon the devil most commonly uses: on famous and unfamous alike!
Thoughts on Malema and kill the boer
Malema is treating a part of the population as subhuman for the sake of culture. This is what this opinion article elaborates!
Recently I read of Trigg, Palin's son, who suffers a disability from before birth but after conception. He was mocked, called retarded, treated as predictable and pointless by Democrat supporters of the Culture of Death part of the blog-o-sphere in USA America.
It reminded me of Patrick and Matthew Archbold on abortion: how does one know a society is committing a genocide: be it the National Socialists of Germany or the Nationalists of South Africa, or the Communists and Socialists of Russia...
The answer is simple enough. You create a genocide or partake in one when you treat others as sub or superhuman.
The Islamist is superhuman. The Hun is superhuman.
The curly haired unbeliever/infidel was "subhuman".
And so forth.
When we call human life less than human- when we do away with human dignity that is: we cause it to be endangered and endanger it to the culture of death.
Malema wants to sing/shout at the top of his lungs "Kill the Boer": a phrase uniquely offensive to almost all white South Africans who feel targeted, subhuman. Boarish.
So if Malema can sing this song, for cultural reasons: the old culture of death which erupted in South Africa and conquered both sides for years, then we have danger.
We have super or subhuman whites. And thus super or subhuman blacks.
Isolating a minority race is only the start. The end is hatred. The end is the culture of death.
When speaking of people, we ought take into account their soul, their dignity, their right to be spoken to and of as human beings.
We are all sinful. What sets us apart is goodness!

Remember when... A beautiful prose a friend sent me
Do you remember when ..Your close friends became strangers, lollipops turned into cigarettes, the innocent ones turned into sluts, homework goes in the bin, soda became vodka, kisses turned into sex. Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst thing you could get from boys/girls were lergies? Dads shoulders were the highest place on earth and mum was your hero? Your worst enemies were your siblings. Race issues were about who ran the fastest, the only drug you knew was calpole, wearing a skirt didnt make you a slut, the only thing that hurt you was skinned knees and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow? And we just couldn't wait to grow up ..Shows you how fast things change and how f----d up things are now-a-days. Pass on if u realise this..
[To which another friend said its why they never grew up!]

APPLE (Ipod, Itunes, Ipad, Mac) considers Mainstream and Catholic Christianity "objectionable" "potentially harmful"
Article by Marc Aupiais

| Christianity is "potentially harmful" to others, "objectionable" - Apple |
In response I have personally deleted ITunes, and there are other providers of all content apple gives. E.g. your blackberry can be used like an IPod, and Blackberry is soon releasing the Blackberry Playbook.
Amazon sells music and videos etc.
Apple considers biblical Christian faith to be "potentially harmful" and "objectionable", so let them know how you feel and be sure to get your friends also to not help a platform for hate speech against Christians.

Dear Bernard Longley, your anti-magisterial bias is sad and typical of a career bishop
Article by Marc Aupiais
Read:
Birmingham Archbishop Attacks Faithful Catholics Protesting London’s ‘Gay Masses’
My response: Open letter also emailed to : fr_martin.pratt@rc-birmingham.org
Subject: Dear Bernard Longley, your anti-magisterial bias is sad and typical of a career bishop
Contents:
I just read in Canadian LifeSite news of your reported prejudice against Faithful Catholics praying outside the Soho Masses, in accordance to Pope Benedict XVI's message to Britain, and your response after calling them bigoted, that you cannot comment on the situation as it is now because you have not observed it recently. I find homosexualists such as yourself, are generally much more bigoted and prejudiced than the Christians you oppose. What is more important to you? A good image among the pagans or doing your job, which you vowed to do? Integrity is fulfilling one's promises. It is no surprise the Church in England and Wales is dying with the help of bishops such as yourself!

Fight Apple, the Evil Empire 2.0. - email Steve Jobs opposing his bigotry! May God make Apple computers bankrupt- my prayer! And my email to Steve Jobs
Article by Marc Aupiais
Evil Empire 2.0 has taken a stance most people in the world would see as evil, partisan and plain and simply freak, so I emailed their head and I advise you to as well. email steve@apple.com now and make sure to let him know that next time you consider buying apple, chances are you'll think again. why? because they have chosen to attack Christians for being Christians. The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington has a good analysis of Apple's anti-Catholicism, anti-Eastern Orthodox, ant-Evangelical stance:
Former Revolutionary Becomes Big Brother – Steve Jobs and Apple Refuse a Pro-life and Pro-Marriage App

Oh and sign the petition to STOP APPLE CENSORING RELIGIOUS PEOPLE
http://www.manhattandeclaration.org/media/petition.aspx
and as for my letter which they and I suggest you write something like:
subject: Your hatred of Christians
contents:
Is not unnoticed, I am looking for alternatives to Apple everywhere, and will encourage others to as well. Censoring the Manhattan declaration while your podcasts list has so many sexually explicit videos... just shows why I was right not to buy an ipad or apple computer. I will be sure to give you as much bad press as possibly in my blogs. I will also pray for your company to go bankrupt.
Thank you for letting the majority of the people in the world know just how American, and partisan apple is, just how much it hates the views that the majority of people in the world hold. It will not be forgiven or forgotten!

My open letter to Catholic Culture / Catholic World News!
Article by Marc Aupiais
Your article on the European Court of Human Rights finding is not only misleading it is inaccurate. The BBC itself seems to have gotten the facts wrong but this is not as excusable for Catholic culture. As someone who is studying law and takes an interest in these sorts of cases, I was upset that you did not even refer to the judgement or differentiate at all!
Here is my own take on the matter. Read it or don't, but this is entirely unacceptable from an organisation such as yours:
European court rules- No human right to abortion, but asks Irish government for clearer regulations
http://sacns.scripturelink.net/2010/12/european-court-rules-no-human-right-to.html
I find it amazing consistently how big organizations get things wrong, while people like me who write for no profit but an interest, so often get better results by careful research.
Is anyone on your team legally trained in Roman Law principles on which human rights and European law are based?
Shocking!

Who is man's best friend?
Below is another article used with permission from a Greek Orthodox friend of mine and fellow law student Mari Kalabakas, much wisdom to be read here:
"who is man's best friend?
by Marianna Irene Kalabakas — Leave a comment
December 12, 2010
We all spend our lives looking for someone to understand us. A lover, a friend, a helping hand- someone. We watch the movies, we read the books…so we look for a relationship that will mimic it.
We spend our lives trying to be understood, by someone. Aristotle once said "a friend is a single soul dwelling in 2 bodies." I have to disagree. There are something's you cannot tell your friend. Some friends steal your partners. Some friends use you when they need you. How about all the times you tell them something in confidence and the whole world finds out about it a few hours later. Therefore, you cannot share everything with your friends, it would just be- impossible!
I might disagree with sharing a soul with your friend, but I do believe friends come into our lives at different times and in different forms. We have our pets, that rely on us, that are there for us, when the world turns its back on us. We have our parents or guardians that are also there for us no matter what we do. We might find someone accidentally, someone we have never met before, someone who has so much in common with us, we instantly feel a connection to. We feel as if we've known them for years. Although you've never met, you can tell them your innermost thoughts and feelings.
Then we have the people we have known for years. The people we grew up with, we know they not the most trustworthy, yet we appreciate them and socialize with them in a way that makes you almost friends.
Then we have the friends that have been there for you through everything. The friends you have been there for too. Those are your true friends. The ones you will never forget and will never forget you. The ones that will always be just a phone call away. That person who loves and respects you for who you are.
We might be looking for that fairy tale friendship and miss out on the ones that are most important. We might lose friends, but we had them at times when we or they needed help the most. That will keep the friendship bond alive, no matter what happens in the future."

Doubts as to reason for Greek Orthodox Prelate's removal- Politics seem to be EVERYWHERE! « Marianna Irene Kalabakas's Blog
A good friend of mine, and fellow law student has a fascinating op-ed on doubts as to why the Johannesburg Greek Orthodox archbishop was shipped off to Africa.
She has permitted myself to republish her work for the SACNS which I believe benefits.
The Greek Orthodox church while being Apostolic- and having valid bishops and priests is not currently in communion with Rome due to differences on some important theological matters. It is greatly respected by Rome among the churches not in communion.
Below is the fascinating analysis of someone who has had much contact with a bishop of the Greek Orthodox church, who wonders if he was ousted for political reasons:
"Politics seem to be EVERYWHERE!
by Marianna Irene Kalabakas
December 12, 2010
I might not be the most reliable source to comment on this, but, the following is my opinions on the removal of the Greek Orthodox Archbishop Seraphim in South Africa.
I knew Archbishop Seraphim, from my school years. He was always at school plays, christmas parties and whenever in church, would ask my parents how I am! Fantastic man he really is!
I will personally admit, as church gatherings at "panigiria," he would annoy me because I would want to have holy communion because I would fast from the night before and would be hungry by 1 o'clock, when communion would be given! The reason for my annoyance was because the service would stop for about 3 hours in which certificates of thanks would be given to numerous people, both dead and alive. But you ended up living with these long processes.
I'm not sure what happened and they removed him from our post. But after the community started being run by a new committee they removed him and a few other priests and sent them to various African countries and one was sent to Cyprus.
Today was the day the new Archbishop Damaskinos was enthroned as the new Archbishop of Johannesburg and Pretoria. To be honest, the church was empty considering, all the Orthodox churches throughout Gauteng where closed. Seraphim, is Cypriot and the Cypriots form a large part of the community down here. The majority of the Cypriots where not even present at this gathering. Personally speaking, I assume they where boycotting this new enthronement.
During the enthronement, the Patriarchi of Africa, did not refer to Seraphim at all, just once. The only person he spoke of was the late Archbishop Peter who passed away many years ago. This conduct, made me wonder whether he had anything to do with Seraphim's removal?
That is a question that I doubt will be answered."

Sacbc wanna be popular
I always laugh when I notice the difference between sacbc press releases etc and media quotes of them. The things they say to please media are quoted. The rest - the Catholic parts are left out.
Not so with what Cardinal Napier said recently- that the Catholic church has NO jurisdiction in deciding whether a couple uses condoms or not.
Sadly the heterodox legacy of John Paul II's incompetent, politically motivated, smiling magical circle church is far from dead, or retired. A church which lies about the gospel, and adds oddly about sex abuse claims still exists- here in Southern Africa and elsewhere. Unfortunately many of our bishops are better politicians than shepherds, and fishers of men.

Wikileaks kicked off Amazon, American companies warned not to host, French try block it- Reuters France24 - Cyber attacks force WikiLeaks to move web address
They said they chose to use Amazon to prove they were against free speech, and to use USA addresses and French addresses for the same reason. Wikileaks has lost their American address wikileaks.org along with all (things) American. Though one dns group suggested it was due to constant web attacks (does that mean America employs an army of hackers as china allegedly does?).
The Pirate Party in Switzerland has given the group wikileaks.ch an address they are unlikely to lose given the power of the Pirate Party and the backlash for any who dare.
Their "web hotel" Swedish web servers are up and running and set to remain.
Recently Russia suggested that some elements of the control of the internet be shifted from America to the United Nations.
On the international censorship:
For the first time- US military banned from news sites reporting on Wikileaks says France24 - AFP- US army warns soldiers in Iraq against viewing WikiLeaks
I find it odd in the very least. Previous Wikileaks did not involve a warning of lawless behaviour and threats of prosecution for any US soldier reading news about Wikileaks. Yet these diplomatic Wikileaks being released- which has seen never before heard of aggression by the US government under Barack Obama against the whistle-blowers has prompted this?
Perhaps it is the way America humiliates her allies, or the fact many of her diplomats are spies and thus as credible as thief brigades.
Perhaps they fear morale. Or worse- terror attacks by their own troops once again. Even the Israeli army is allowed to be informed of what their government does. Yet, America somehow fears Wikileaks is Obama's Armageddon? Well they did invade babylon of old, in an illegal war.
That the person who allegedly leaked was openly serving illegally in the US army, contravening Don't Ask Don't Tell as an activist speaks volumes about Barack Obama.
Across the world, as with the fallout against America following 9/11- people will be turning against the nation once ironically called the Free World.

No need for killing foetuses at all- with new Stem cell treatment
Note by Marc Aupiais
In the past it has been claimed there is a need to harvest stem cells from abortions to compare with adult stem cells moved back. Embryonic stem cells often cause cancer, adult stem cells (not from aborted human beings) were seen as the safest. If it is confirmed, a new method which involves straight transfer from stem cells to needed cells may do away with that so-called not really need altogether:
"Canadian scientists have turned human skin cells directly into blood cells, the first time one kind of mature human cell has been converted into another, according to a study published last week in the journal Nature.
The transformation was completed without first rewinding the skin cells into the flexible pluripotent stem cells that have most frequently been used to grow tissues. By skipping the pluripotent step, the researchers believe they have skirted the risk that the replacement cells might form dangerous tumours.
The team created blood progenitor cells - mother cells that multiply to produce other blood cells - as well as mature blood cells, according to the report. Both types of cells could be useful in medical treatments, said study leader Mick Bhatia, a stem cell scientist at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario."

South Africa stands up for children against EU, Canada at the UN- UN specialised coverage organisation reports
The Republic of South Africa- a leader globally in legislation involving children's rights, has along with the Holy See, and South Africa's pet, the African Union's block in the UN- condemned a "right" to explicit (pornographic according to South African definitions) sex education.
The EU, Canada, and other countries endorsed the document, despite its violation of the founding principles of the United Nations.
Studies have shown abstinence education more effective, and found that people given contraceptive education are more likely to have sex at an inappropriate age, with people they don't love and less likely to use condoms- defeating the purpose of the education. A report by Lancet found that people buying sex are less likely to use condoms if given pamphlets on falsely named "safe sex". Sexualization at a young age is thought to encourage psychological disorders.

Countries Slam Attempts to Create New "Right" to Sexual Education at UN
By Samantha Singson
New York, October 28 (C-FAM) - Angry delegates took to the UN floor this week to denounce a report that promotes a new human right to explicit sexual education for young children.
The African and Caribbean blocs led the widespread hostility toward the report by registering their "strong rejection" and "strong disapproval."
The report claims a new human right to sexual education citing non-binding recommendations and other UN reports including the controversial UNESCO guidelines on sexual education and the Yogyakarta Principles. The report's author, Victor Muñoz, argues that States have an obligation to ensure this new right "from the early stages of life."
Bucking established procedure, Muñoz submitted his report to the UN without being present to defend his recommendations and analysis.
Muñoz pays lip service to the right of parents to choose their children's education, which is part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but adds "this authority may never run counter to the rights of children and adolescents." According to Muñoz, comprehensive sexual education goes beyond simple biological or reproductive information.
Ignoring the ongoing heated debate at the UN over terms dealing with "sexual orientation" and "gender identity," Muñoz insists that sexual education include information on "sexual diversity." Muñoz blasts abstinence programs, which he argues normalizes stereotypes and promotes discriminatory images because they are based on "heteronormativity."
Muñoz added that denying the existence of lesbian, gay, transsexual, transgender and bisexual population exposes these groups to discrimination.
Though unable to address Muñoz directly, frustrated delegates representing Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and the Organization of Islamic Countries lined up to denounce the report. They criticized Muñoz's single-handed attempt to redefine the human rights system and introduce controversial topics such as sexual orientation, sexuality education and gender identity as universally accepted concepts.
Malawi, on behalf of the African bloc, said there was "no universal agreement on the notions of sexual education." Munoz's attempt to create a new right and reinterpret the existing understanding of human rights "flouted" the code of conduct, Malawi said. The African group expressed alarm at what it called Muñoz's selective use of quotes from other UN documents, which do not constitute a "truthful reflection of objective facts."
The Caribbean bloc also registered its "strong disapproval of this attempt by Muñoz to create a new right within the universally established right to education, far exceeding his mandate." The Caribbean countries charged Muñoz with "indulging his personal interests at the expense" of delegations and demanded a re-written report that followed the guidelines set by the UN.
While many others -- including Russia, South Africa, Morocco, the Arab Group, the Holy See and the United States -- also denounced the assertion of a new right to comprehensive sexual education, Switzerland, Norway, Canada, and Argentina were supportive. The European Union "fully and wholeheartedly" expressed its support for Muñoz and his report.
The General Assembly took no action on the report this week, but it is expected to consider it again in December."

Why America's lumping of gay and women's rights damages equality
Article by Marc Aupiais
America's been doing it for years, from using American controlled UNICEF which should focus on children - to promote abortion in the third world, to linking abortion, homosexuality and secularisation to women's special interests.
Homosexuality poses a very legitimate threat to many countries, given the susceptibility of homosexuals to disease and to suicide. This is not to justify discrimination, but to note that the reasons for discrimination are very different. Abortion has a very real negative impact on world economies. Secularization also can. Making gender quotas in the workplace also makes it harder for women to stay at home with their children if they want to.
The USA has recently lumped together women's, gay, lesbian and bi-sexual rights together in their UN speech. Women's rights have a chance of being achieved in many countries: their is very little basis for discriminatory practice. Lumping it with abortion, and homosexuality, et al as America tends to do, has only one effect: to make the argument for those opposing women's special interests for them.
This damages women.

Homosexuals the typhoid Mary of HIV AIDS
Article by Marc Aupiais
In the United States of America, homosexuals are the Typhoid Mary of the HIV/AIDS epidemic: with one in 5 infected, around the same amount of infected, as the wider populations in Sub-Saharan Africa, the worst hit by the epidemic.
One of the major reasons I oppose homosexual special interests such as de jure marriage ceremonies, and promotion of "coming out" is the negative effects on homosexuals, and those who experience temporary or misdiagnosed homosexuality. The creation of a homosexual personality type by media worsens this.
Children adopted by homosexuals and homosexuals both have astronomical suicide rates. And less stable relationships. One other major problem is how susceptible they are to disease, given that without breeding naturally, the group is left untouched by natural selection and the body finds it hard to defend against its sexual habits.
Read more, about the fact that one in five American Homosexuals have HIV/AIDS and forty-four out of one hundred of the infected homosexuals have no knowledge that they carry the disease.
Why people are to abstain and capable of it once diagnosed but not otherwise is something else I'm sure perpetrators of the condom myth like CNN won't be telling us any time soon.
