Lunatics to Picket Robin Williams’ funeral

the birdcageThe news of Robin Williams’ death really saddened me. I’m not prone to celebrity following, but I grew up watching his genius. How wonderful that the world responded with such an outpouring of love for this remarkable man – well most of them anyway.

There are always the haters. Those small -minded people who would never have been granted breath if I had been God. You know the type: the neurosurgeons who sent his daughter fabricated death pictures, the ‘Sour Sally’s’ that called him a washed up drunk, basically the mind – sucking invertebrates that spew venom while crawling along on their bellies.

Well his funeral seems to have brought out more of them.

Enter the Westboro Baptist Church. They are gathering their hordes of satan to picket at his funeral. Why? Because he had the ‘audacity’ to portray a gay man in the movie “The Birdcage’. Their title for him is ‘Fag Pimp’ – nice people these…

‘Repent or Perish’ seems to be their slogan for the day. They preach damnation not just to those who are gay, but to all those who tolerate them.  They generally picket at military funerals, preaching that death and destruction are the armies punishment for tolerance of gays and lesbians. Clearly they are branching out…

My only consolation at this point is imagining what Robin would say to all of this. He would leave us breathless laughing at these base creatures…

I send my love and light to his family and friends. I truly hope that your wish to say a private goodbye is made possible despite the evidence to the contrary.

There’s nothing you can do to help these idiots see reason, but remember, they’re all going to kick up their clogs one day, and will have to spend eternity listening to Robin tear strips off them – yes, even from hell they’ll hear him!

Good thought!

GREAT thought!

Mr Shower-Head pulls a Snubby

theforestscribe's avatarthingsthatgobumpinmymind

Mr Showerhead (Zapiro Cartoon) Mr Showerhead (Zapiro Cartoon)

Nelson Mandela is being remembered today at Westminster Abbey – the first time a foreigner has been so honoured – and Zuma didn’t rock up!

Yep, Presi – Very – Dent – Zuma, ‘Gauche Extraordinaire’, of The Republic of South Africa had a hotter appointment.

The date of Mandela’s service was originally meant to take place in February to coincide with the former presidents’ release from prison, but was later changed to accommodate Snubby’s schedule (he was preparing his hate of the nation address). His eventual excuse for not attending -‘ It is a busy month’ ….

And where exactly was he? Snubby was attending the wedding of one of Bob Mugabe’s children. So a world event occurs to honour an honourable man and Snubby packed up his shower-head and went off to trifle with one of the world’s most violent dictators…

It must be said…

Will Winnie Finally Pay?

Winnie Mandela, former wife of Nelson Mandela

Winnie Mandela, former wife of Nelson Mandela, has been accused of ordering and/or participating in 18 deaths, one of them the murder and kidnapping of a 14 year old child activist, James Sepei (Stompie).

James Seipei - nicknamed 'Stompie'

James Seipei – nicknamed ‘Stompie’

Her bodyguards, dubbed ‘The Mandela Football Club’, were the long arm of ‘Winnies Law’.  They threatened and silenced any and all opposition – ruthlessly, and seemingly without fear of reprisals.

One of  her bodyguards was convicted of the murder. Winnie was convicted only of kidnapping and assault charges and sentenced to 6 years in prison.

She appealed and paid a fine.

Now that Madiba has passed away, and despite the fact that she was his ex-wife,  she is already announcing that she is the head of the Mandela family.

Now there are rumblings of talks about re-opening a case against her for 2 other murders.

Mandela took over a tumultous and violent country, and one can almost understand why she was allowed to escape judgement.

Mandela was the only person that could possibly save us at that time.  Any major charges against her would have reflected badly on him and further toppled the fragile stability in South Africa.  As an icon, his image had to be protected.

But now our father has died.

We are no longer a black and white nation.

We are a new ‘Rainbow Nation’ – educated, questioning, united and pissed off!

Madiba taught us the importance of UNITY, but he also taught us the importance of TRUTH.

Winnie is not the mother of our nation.

Her new position should be behind bars, silenced and forgotten.  It is still a kindness, more than she showed her victims, and certainly more than she deserves.

We could never administer what she deserves.

When you’ve murdered a child, any punishment is too light.

Heaven hear our call….

The Daley Outing

Tom Daley - Olympic Champion

Tom Daley – Olympic Champion

I don’t generally get involved in the ‘straight/gay’ discussions.

Live and let live has always been my policy, even when I was going through a variety of religious /spiritual incarnations.

But today’s storm on Twitter really got my goat!

Tom Daley, British Olympic diving champion, a mere 19 years old, has ‘stepped out of the closet’.

and the Twitter world went dark and nasty…

Perhaps I’m a silly middle-aged woman, but I was astounded by the sheer depth of the hatred directed towards this young man. I could understand it if he was a murderer or a paedophile, but a gay or possibly bi-sexual man?

Why is it that same – sex relationships are still, in this day and age, so terrifying to some people. The fact that people of the same sex fall in love, doesn’t make them deviant.  I would just love to gather a crowd of haters and ask them a few questions about their values, infidelities and honour code when it comes to their relationships.

This young man has given everything to his country and to his sport. He has made his nation proud. His private life should be just that – private. The fact that he even felt the necessity to ‘come out’ is sad enough.

You don’t see us ‘straights’ feeling compelled to go on TV to announce we’re having sex with our partners.

I wonder how many of these ‘gay haters’ waited before marriage to play hide the sausage with their partners, you know seeing as they’re so pure and holy…

Oh right, God is ok with ‘our’ dalliances, cos ‘we’ are at least rocking with the right sex.

Idiots!

‘Tom Daley, keep living at full tilt my boy, and ignore the haters.’

Mamma has spoken..

South Africa goes South…

'The Captains'

‘The Captains’

The gangsters are going to run South Africa…legally…

The Patriotic Alliance was launched on Saturday and is captained (Morgan?) by Kenny Kunene and Gayton Mackenzie – both convicted criminals. They are not, it seems, going to personally run for office but have submitted Shirley-Anne Mouton as the face of the Alliance.

Rashied Staggie, a notorius gang leader who has spent an impressive amount of time in jail, is apparently also involved. The rumours are that the 26’s or is it the 28’s gang? make up a large part of the party.

It’s all very confusing.

They had a pre-launch attended by nearly 300 under-world characters, gangsters and a even a bunch of clergymen (that’s not worrying at all…).

Mc Kenzie, a convicted bank robber, said his past would not affect voters because they were after all voting for a politician, not a pope.

Well he’s got a point there…

Friday Fearday?

Cape Town Housing Protest

In October a ‘peaceful’ service delivery march turned violent as about 3000 protesters ran amok through the centre of Cape Town. Stalls and shops were vandalised, store holders were attacked – it was a mess.

The Cape Town Informal Settlements Organization who organised the march are now geared up to organise another to take place tomorrow, despite the fact that their application to do so has been turned down.

This time the numbers being quoted are anywhere from 50 000 to 200 000.

If rumour is to be believed ‘the masses’ have been given instructions to go wild. Cape Town is apparently to provide their Christmas shopping in a day of chaos and anarchy. Taxis will be used to  blockade some of the main highways into Cape Town and of course provide the means to transport such a large crowd into the city centre.

The City of Cape Town has now lodged an urgent application for an interdict in an attempt to stop the gathering. Unfortunately this particular organization has declared that it will continue with or without permission.

Extra emergency and police services are being deployed to Cape Town and will be on high alert on the day.

There have been constant taunts from officials from opposition parties that they will make Cape Town ungovernable in an attempt to wrest the votes from the DA controlled city.

I live here. I may or may not be able to go to work tomorrow.

We’ll see…

Polygamy for Boys

Zuma and his 4 wives

President Zuma and his 4 wives

So here we are at the foot of Africa and the question I asked is Polygamy legal in South Africa?

Our President, Jacob Zuma, has been married 6 times and has about 21 kids we know of. One was born out-of-wedlock soon after he became president.  Of the 6 wives, one has died and the other divorced him, so at last count – 4 wives.

Now when I googled polygamy in SA I really struggled to get a straight answer. From what I can tell, legally, polygamy in civil marriages is not allowed, but it is allowed under instances of customary law.

So basically the cultures that support them can happily marry again and again as long as they can maintain their families – if you’re a male that is…

Now Polygamy means ‘often married’ and is broken into two sections:

Polygyny – a man marries more than one woman

Polyandry – a woman marries more than one man.

Polygyny is legal in South Africa – Polyandry is not!

Now one might say that only an idiot would want more than one husband, but look at it from a different perspective.

The rate of single mothers in South Africa is off the charts, as is the instance of multiple children with multiple fathers. Now imagine that every girl that fell pregnant was allowed to marry every boy that impregnated her and she was protected under customary law like those in polygamist marriages.

She may have many kids, but she would also have many husbands to support them.

True, she would be a little busy at night, but at least her kids would be fed and housed and contained within a family unit. More importantly she would not have to work, she would be home looking after the kids and doing the domestic thing. No longer would strangers have to be trusted with their children, less kids would go missing and hungry etc etc

We apparently have the highest rate of child mortality in the world due to neglect and abuse.

Perhaps ployandry is a way to deal with that?

What do you think?

What is the Smallest Country/State In the World?

vatican city

Yes, you’ve guessed it – Vatican City!

It is located in the centre of Rome, Italy. It is home to the Pope and the spiritual and physical heart of Catholicism.

Vatican City is just over 110 acres in size and has a population of about a 1000 people. A fully functional and independent state, it prints its own Euros, (or at least a form of the Euro) and Vatican stamps, and issues its own passports and car licence plates.

There is also No Tax!

The reason is obvious – The Vatican is a tourist machine and generates millions  in souvenirs and entrance fees and all other associated earnings.

There is also a dress code believe it or not. So tourists pay attention: If you intend to traipse into The Holy See showing too much flesh – you will be sent packing!  It’s ‘God’s House’ after all…I’m just not sure He knows that…

If you should be ‘lucky’ enough to land a job there you automatically become a fully fledged citizen. Of course should you lose your job or quit, your citizenship is automatically revoked – and you have to settle for possibly just being Italian – that’s not so bad is it?

I’m not sure what they call citizens – Vaticanians? Holy Seers, Popeacanians? Hmmmm….

The cash machines speak only Latin and the country is rife with pick pockets (not sure if they only speak Latin too!) . It has the highest per – capita crime rate in the world!

And when they suspect that His Holiness has ‘Shuffeled off to Buffalo’, The Camerlengo (Vatican Official) has to tap The Pope 3 times on the head with a silver ceremonial hammer to make sure he’s dead!

I guess how hard he taps will determine whether His holiness recovers…

And on a final note:

The vatican is the only country in the world with a zero birth rate…………. we think!

Well at least in recent years………….we think!

China to Muzzle Dalai Lama

His Holiness, The Dalai Lama

His Holiness, The Dalai Lama

His Holiness, the Dalai Lama, is to be ‘electronically muzzled’ by the Beijing government in an attempt to further silence his ‘propaganda’.

They have been monitoring online content for ages and are adding to that now by confiscating ‘illegal’ satellite dishes and severely restricting Tibetans access to outside television coverage.

Its been normal practice for China to prevent Tibetans having contact with the outside world, but now they are going to ‘up the anti’. The online monitoring is kicking into high gear, telephone registrations are furiously checked to make sure the Tibetans have entered their correct information – to make it easier to monitor too we must assume.

The idea of course is to ensure that only the voice of ‘The party’ is heard. The government now intends to feed back to back propaganda to the people of Tibet trying to convince them of the perfection and sanctity of  Communist government rule.

After being awarded The Nobel Peace prize he is still labelled a ‘wolf in sheeps clothing’ by the Chinese government. He is also interestingly enough, banned from entering South Africa due to the ‘sensitivity of our relations with China’ (trade agreements).

 Despite all this, the teachings and pictures of the Dalai Lama are still being smuggled into Tibet and it seems the more the Chinese fight against him, the more the Tibetans hold true to their Holy man. The government, by their very actions, are ensuring the one thing they are trying to stamp out – The determination of the people to revere His Holiness, The Dalai Lama.
