South Africa - Part 8 - Sins of the Fathers

Sins of the Fathers – Part VIII –

And the Dangerous Cottage Industries in relation to Intelligence

This issue follows on the heels of the issues relating to the De Klerk regime and the siphoning off the riches of the RSA as well as the role of various criminals.

It was reported on 12 June 2014 that retired Judge Johan Kriegler had issued a statement that the National

Prosecuting Authority (NPA) of South Africa was an incompetent and corrupt ridden entity. Corruption within the ranks of the NPA had not been addressed. The NPA is seen as an institution that is more hell bent on covering for criminals than prosecuting them.

In order to comprehend the gravity of the situation, we will first have regard to various aspects and the overriding tsunami corruption that is engulfing South Africa today.

During May 2014 a certain Brigadier General Mankayi on a visit to Oudtshoorn where the SA Infantry School is located, instructed the Infantry School. To send 2 Ratel Infantry Fighting Vehicles with 90 mm guns and loaded along with some 120 troops in full combat gear; in order to free some 30 Military personnel who had been arrested for drinking at a shebeen. The Police released these military personnel in order to avert a bloodbath. The Police whilst being armed themselves were outgunned due to the Ratels with their 90 mm guns.

The Chief of the SANDF (Defense Force), Genl Shoke, expressed shock at this development. However,

nothing has been done to Brig Genl Mankayi about this issue. Will action be taken against him? It does not seem so. Democracy is indeed under threat if the authorities take no action in this regard. Why does the Military threaten civil society? Is this a pre-cursor of things to come?

The SANDF is indeed a problem for the South African government ; Defense Intelligence which is a part of the SANDF actually sent a letter to all the Defense Attaches (DA) attached to foreign embassies in the RSA , stating that no DA’s could travel outside of Gauteng without prior approval from DI. This to DA’s who had been accredited by the South African government to foreign embassies in the RSA. The relationship between the SANDF and their foreign counterparts are turning into a major embarrassment for the South African government who seems to be unable to do anything about this situation.

The allegations are that Genl Shoke’s brother is the one who was involved with a company called “Impi Trucks.” This is the same company who over a long period had contracts to repair and service military vehicles. The military units, who benefited from this company’s sub-standard service, had been complaining vociferously for a long period, without anything being done to alleviate this situation.

Defense Intelligence, who now suddenly wants to flex muscles in places where it should not belong, is silent as to what’s taking place. Why?

The SSA (State Security Agency) and DI seems to be failing the country. A certain information peddler by the name of George Darmanovitch, on his own version, had been feeding a certain Brig Genl Modise at DI information of a decidedly dubious nature. Genl Modise and his side – kick, a certain Col Ngobeni have been instrumental in creating problems for people and then asking whether they can resolve such in return for certain benefits. Darmanovitch would be interacting with them In order to extract such benefits – irregular and illegal. Darmanovitch has also been, again on his very own contention, involved as the owner of a company called IRS, which is being run by a certain Chad Thomas. Thomas claims to be a fraud buster and he has even a talk show in this regard on a radio station for the Jewish community. Thomas’ claim to fame is that he was a military policeman who had been involved in various investigations pertaining to fraud.

Thomas’s email address is chad@presidency.com . What Presidency? Darmanovitch speaks with great

authority about access to President Zuma. He also interfaces with the SSA. Not only this but he one is of the creators of the Boeremag issue. It must be pointed out that the issue of the Boeremag has grown into a deadly cottage industry whereby if you are white, irrespective of your credentials, if they taint you as Boeremag, the government basically has a heart attack. (Heart attack is used as a polite version). Millions are wasted by the government on these people’s machinations – in the APEX  issue , some 60% of the RSA’s coal reserves were moved off – shore for a pittance.

The fact of the matter is that the Intelligence Services of the RSA is sub standard and that the operatives are creating situations in order to substantiate their massive salaries. This is a classical example of the tail wagging the dog. The so called agents are paid vast sums of money that seems to be shared with their handlers. However, it is not only Darmanovitch and Thomas that plays such deadly games.

The Intelligence operatives of the RSA had failed dismally in their duties in the Central African Republic (CAR) that led to the unnecessary deaths of some 15 South African soldiers. Yet, nobody has been brought to book in this regard. Charges for criminal negligence should have been brought long ago against the Head of the SANDF and the Management at DI, such as Brig Genl Modise. However, this has not happened.

Why?

There is no doubt that the RSA is being targeted for serious economic sabotage. These people are all part and parcel thereof. Their modus operandi is to conceal the evidence of such acts of terrorism as well as the identity of the perpetrators thereof. In this regard, they form a part of organized crime and they are duly supported by legal firms whence their primary market is being serviced by their legitimate output and the criminal market is their secondary market. These organized criminals and terrorists target the legitimate market in order to improve their own standing and claiming legitimacy in respect of their dealings.   

Cecil John Rhodes, the Englishman who played such an important role in the history of South Africa, whether he acted as a gentleman or a scoundrel, he did play a massive role in this history. He had made it an important part of his strategy to accommodate the Afrikaners. Specifically he built up good relations with Jan Hofmeyer, a camp fighter for the rights of the Afrikaner. However, the part of the history that has never seen the light of day has never enlightened the public as to the role of the Freemasons in the economic sphere, until today. The Military and the SAPS had been known as to be traditional strongholds for the freemasons in South Africa. The Afrikaans version became known as the “bokryers,” goat riders. There is also a distinct difference between the Freemasons from England and the bokryers in South Africa.

Whilst the Afrikaners organized themselves into the Broederbond, they were in effect nothing else than a secret division of the English Freemasons, until today. There are historical reasons thereto, for better or for worse, they played a very strong although hidden hand in the economic development of South Africa. It has been recorded that after the Peace of Vereeniging in 1902 which led to the end of the war between England and the Boer Republics and brought the Union of South Africa into being in 1910 , that Rhodes was scouring the Free State on horseback in order to obtain mining rights. In this regard, he was accompanied by various Afrikaners, including Paul Sauer, a later Minister in the National Party Government.

However, the South African military has a long history and has participated in many conflicts until today. However, the wheels of this once mighty and proud military machine have started to come off.

F W De Klerk had singlehandedly destroyed the Intelligence capabilities of the South African Defense

Force. It was clearly not done in order to assist the ANC government, but it would appear that it was solely done to ensure that whatever illegal transactions in the future would arise would be hidden, typical of the sabotage of a country’s economy. De Klerk fired all loyal officers to that his collaborators could move freely. On December 19, 1992, FW de Klerk fired 23 senior army officers, including navy officers, who could pose a threat to his plans. So great was the speed with which De Klerk acted that even the army’s public relations office was not informed of the press conference. In addition, many of the officers disciplined, were on holiday and were unaware of their suspension. The axed officers included Major-General Chris Thirion, Deputy Chief of Staff Intelligence, who had a reputation of being one of the more progressive of the younger generation of generals. Major-General Hennie Roux, Chief of Army Intelligence, Brigadier Ferdie Van Wyk, Director of Army Communications, who master-minded Project Echoes, Brigadier Tolletjies Botha, Director – Directorate of Covert Collection, which was raided in November by investigators of the Goldstone Commission, including UN personnel, Brigadier Oos van der Merwe, Director of Army Intelligence, Commander Jack Widdowson of the Navy. He named only three other officers, Colonel At Nel, Colonel Chris Prinsloo and Commandant Stephen Snyders, who were all put on compulsory leave.

This followed the purge of 19 police generals in August as part of a drive to bring the police in line with the negotiation process. The further Indemnity Act pushed through Parliament in August, needed to help ease officers out. The November raid on Military Intelligence’s Directorate of Covert Collection in November, by Goldstone investigators. A top-level meeting between senior Umkhonto We Sizwe and SADF officials in early August took place, brokered by the National Intelligence Service, which generally carries out the will of the cabinet. December’s ‘rationalization’ measures that include the retrenchment of 6000 middle ranking officers followed. In just 5 months, De Klerk had opened the door wide, for his own operators to continue the sell-out. “I have never before seen a government destroy its own power base, such as this one is doing” – said former chief of Military Intelligence, Gen. Tienie Groenewald, while the country is steadily moving towards complete chaos, the government has effectively neutralized the SADF’s intelligence capacities by removing the eyes, ears and nose of the defense forces.

Whilst the majority of people read this situation as being of a political nature, they fail to comprehend that the

reality is that this opened the doors for unfettered and illegal economic activities to the detriment of the country, which is still being conducted even until today.

This has further opened the doors for people such as George Darmanovitch and Chad Thomas to run their very own pseudo intelligence operations whilst being sponsored by the State’s own Intelligence apparatus. These are the same people who have been linked to the criminal boss, Radovan Krejcir. In order to prove their effectiveness, they have latched onto the so-called rightwing activities. The right wing has always been there.

The Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) (Afrikaner Resistance Movement) was a creation of the then National Party. They were flown around the country by the South African Air Force. The relationship between the different parties became heavily strained. These information peddlers saw the opportunity to garner a fat income whilst creating a phantom menace against the State. The fact that there are at all times in any given society some crazies present is a fact. However, the attention and costs thrown towards this phantom menace has till today not been quantified. They also use this mechanism to taint people, especially if it is a business that could produce great profits. This is a whole network throughout the South African civil service. The question therefore is as to what extent have these information peddlers supplied access to a crime boss such as Radovan Krejcir? Two Policemen who had been arrested in the Krejcir matter was seen arriving at court driving Porsche Cayennes! Yet, nobody seems to find this very odd!  

Darmanovitch and Thomas plays a very significant role in these operations. Their modus operandi is to They have neglected to report on the underhand dealings at Impi Trucks, so exposed in the newspapers for their sub standard work for the SANDF.

mislead the parties who are finding themselves at the wrong end of these criminals. They claim that they can intervene in order to ensure that the correct version of events is put before the authorities. However, the people with whom they liaise are such as Brig Genl Modise at DI, his junior Col Ngobeni, basically criminals, but they purport to have the President’s ear and disseminate false information. They along with their bosses should have been charged long ago with culpable homicide in respect of the death of the 15 SA soldiers in the Central African Republic.

They have neglected to query and investigate the dealings into the procurement of the SANDF of a sub standard Armored Personnel Carrier in Project Hoefyster. This is a project whereby DENEL, the State owned armaments company, is to supply the SANDF with a new generation armored vehicle. The vehicle is sourced from Patria in Finland and fitted with a turret by one of the DENEL subsidiaries. The price for this vehicle is bandied around as being R 43 million up to R 265 million each. Irrespective of the fact, it would appear as if the SANDF is going to be severely overcharged for a vehicle with serious shortcomings for the theatre of war in which it is supposed to operate. With a high profile vehicle, it can be easily seen in the African bush and therefore becomes a juicy target, plus the fact that armor piercing ammunition will rip through its hull with extreme ease leading to more deaths and the soldiers inside finding themselves in a veritable coffin of wheels, can only be described as a catastrophe.

However, all the fingers are pointing to the Commanding Officer (CO) of the SANDF as having his fingers in they are all known as Siphiwe Nyanda’s boys. A previous commander of the SANDF and a man who still has to answer iro his R 12 million house on the Natal North Coast. This is the same man who is apparently providing cover to the most incompetent CO at SA Special Forces. For 3 years, the SA Special Forces were exempt of providing audited statements to the Auditor General. Everything is being dealt with by ways of a black budget. No control over the moneys.

the pie. The same allegations have been raised iro Impi Trucks as to his brother being involved. The fact of the matter is the story goes like this –

The SANDF had lost again a large amount of equipment including APC’s when a patrol was ambushed in Darfur and they surrendered all their equipment. If rebels need equipment, they just need to rob them from the South Africans – an act of utter instability performed by the South African military.

The Intelligence Services in the RSA , The SA Special Forces along with the Judiciary , all seem to be highly corrupt and hell bent on driving the country to a civil war , literally ! Who will benefit?

A typical situation is that the NPA will falsify documents and warrants of search and seizure by the corrupt justice system. They will steal the moneys from their intended targets; in this regard, they will illegally withhold payments due to the targets. Armscor, the procurement state company for the military, will steal contracts and contacts. Whilst they have been implicated in the Eli Wazan affair in the 1990’s, the fall of the Helderberg in 1987, the dubious Arms Deal that is being investigated by the utterly unconvincing Sereti Commission, and many more – nothing is being done to these corrupt bastards.

They represent the State and therefore the State must then be corrupt.

They have no loyalty to anybody, except themselves. They only tolerate politicians for so long as the politicians dance to their tune. Any company’s confidential information is released by the National Conventional Arms Control Committee (NCACC) to these people. Military officers then try and do transactions with these companies’ contacts. Countries such as Israel , the USA , the UK , Bulgaria , China , Germany, Norway , Switzerland  and many more , whilst clamping down on corruption in their own countries would now seem to be feeding and assisting corruption in South Africa. Perhaps charges against these countries must be lodged with the Wassenaar Arrangement, the UN’s effort in trying to control the proliferation of small arms.

The questions is this, when is this going to become a threat to the government? Is it not already a threat to the government? Whilst President Zuma believes in loyalty, these people whilst paying lip service might just be setting him as President up for a fall!

So let it be written, so let it be heard.

More to come………………………………….         

South Africa - Part 7 - Sins of the Fathers

Sins of the Fathers – Part VII – And the Dangerous Cottage Industries in relation to Intelligence

This issue follows on the heels of the issues relating to the De Klerk regime and the siphoning off of the riches of the RSA.

De Klerk wants us to believe that he had left behind a democratic society. He neglects to state that if you want democracy enforced in South Africa that it will cost you lots of money. Thus, the average person does not stand a snowball’s hope in hell of having his rights enforced.

The role of the judiciary system must never be underestimated, because this is where democracy flounders. Everybody wants to make us believe that the lady with the scales is wearing a blindfold in order to be impartial. However , in the South African experience it would rather seem that she wears the blindfold in order not to see who’s raping. Could this be the reason that there were so many “dominees “(priests) and attorneys under the National Party? The raping of the system was the order of the day!

In the Pretoria High Court, a strange thing happened a couple of years ago. This would not even have come to light if it was not for the fact that the Judge in question had been vulnerable in delivering judgments which is out of this world and of course extremely expensive. His arrogance as a Judge defies all belief!

A certain attorney by name of Marike Moyses and common law wife of  Adv Hans Fabricius (now serving as an acting Judge with many a questionable judgment under his belt), decided that when she turned 55 years of age that she was tired of living. She finally committed suicide with seemingly rat poison; this whilst Adv Fabricius who knew of her intentions absconded in order that he would not be present when she committed this deed. Yet, today said Adv is an acting Judge and as stated, what questionable judgments were delivered by him. No psychiatric treatment, yet he decides about people’s future! 

The National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) is also under a continuous layer of suspicion. If it is not a dispute

about who should be the boss, then it is about trying to prosecute innocent people. In the townships of Emonyeni, near Nelspruit and Evaton West, near some 20 000, correct it is twenty thousand families have lost the right to own their homes. In this whole fracas, the Justice system is largely to blame for what has transpired. Attorneys, Judges, Advocates, the Banks, and Auctioneers etc have all been involved. The ANC‘s voter basis had been eroded by these people being so disenfranchised, and even members from the ANC had been implicated herein. Indeed, this seems to be economic destruction of the first order. A broad band of the South African civil service has been implicated in this sordid tale. In a letter to Pres Zuma from the man with the brown jacket, he put the following as his heading:

        Syndicates Operating primarily in the Judicial Systems), the Financial Sector, the Mining Sector and the Property Sectors of the South African Economy with acts that consist of overt acts committed by them owing allegiance to The State possessing majestas with intent unlawfully to overthrow, impair, violate, threaten or endanger the existence, independence and the security of The State, to overthrow and coerce the government of South Africa to change the constitutional structure of South Africa.   {(High Treason – as per definition of the South African Criminal Law and Procedure) and (Economic Terrorism - as per determination of the Court in order of authority 1990[3] SA466 (BG), CCT 24/2010 [2011] ZACC 17, (78/98) [2000] ZASCA 14; 2000(3) SA44 [SCA] & Appeal Court Cases 448/2002, 43/2004, 44/2009, 27/2010, 51/2010, 874/2010, 145/2011, 312/2011, 883/2011, 686/2012, 97[4 SA 332] (SCA) & High Court Cases 41460/2007, CA366/2011, and Labor Court Case D863/2006}

In the APEX, matter whence 69% of the ownership of the RSA coal reserves was moved offshore darned little was done to recover such. In this regard, the following persons were incriminated:

“This affidavit is in its entirety applicable to Case No.; 14/7009/2000, The State versus C.A Lottering and B.J. Lottering the former directors of Apex. The investigation proved in the opinion of the deponent beyond all reasonable doubt that the South African Reserve Banks Act (Act 90 of 1989) and the Banks Act (Act 90 of 1990) was criminally misused by a liquidation syndicate that may comprise, for further investigation by the authorities, in the opinion of the deponent of; - (1) Christo Wiese (Registrar of Banks), (2) Michael Blackbeard (Deputy Registrar of Banks), (3) Jannie Abraham Nel (Businessman), (4) P.J Nel (Businessman), (5) Mr. Frik Nel (Businessman, Frik Nel Brokers), (6) Mr. TBA later (ABSA Bank Manager Menlyn Branch), (7) Morisson Smit (Chartered Accountant & Director Compendium Chartered Accountants), (8) Mr. Ian Pike (Chartered Accountant), (9) Mr., Sanjay Maharaj (Moolman Brothers Ltd), (10) Mr. Leon Scoltz, (Ramalopo Game Ranch (Pty) Ltd.

These aspects do not exist in isolation.

A certain Peet Viljoen, an attorney was incriminated in the alleged fraud pertaining to the Johannesburg Property Company (JPC). He was actually framed by the people whose names already appeared before in this piece. Property from the Johannesburg Municipality was being sold for a pittance by the JPC. One such transaction was the sale of a property in Bruma for only R 3 million. This property was then sold to a Chinese gentleman for R 94 million. There are allegations that Chad Thomas and George Darmanovitch along with Gerome Saffi had stolen the property at this paltry amount. These matters were reported to Genl Sibiya, Head of the Hawks in Gauteng, the corruption riddled Special Investigation Unit, their friend, whom they are setting up for a fall, all behind his back. However, the question is what has happened to the profits? These people have been implicated in so many things, many with substance; they seem to be incredibly knowledgeable. Either they are working for a still unnamed and an unknown group of people who are protecting them or else they have hidden the moneys somewhere!  

Peet Viljoen who had engaged the services of Chad Thomas as a reputed private investigator summarily

dismissed Thomas after information was received by him which alleged that Thomas had persuaded Col Frik Smit of the SAPS to have evidence disappear against the suspects in this matter. In this regard, it was also alleged that Thomas further blackmailed a certain Rawson for money in order to keep quiet as to the role of Dimension Data’s role in the purchasing of stolen properties from the Johannesburg Municipality. This was actually part of a program as aired on Carte Blanche. A particularly intriguing name appears that of Minister Jeff Radebe. This is the same minister who had showed Presidential ambitions against Pres Zuma. He had been implicated in the illegal and irregular disposal on properties of the JPC, and yet nothing has been done till now.

He is the same Minister who had signed off on the Arms Deal when Min Modise at the time was ill. This is the same Minister who was implicated as being a spy during apartheid under the control of SA Special Forces. A connection that was strongly exploited until the present. This is the same Minister who was the former Minister of Justice where all these corrupt dealings in the Justice system had and still is taking place.

Peet Viljoen distanced himself from Chad Thomas, the alleged “Corruption Buster “on the Chai-FM radio station, a Jewish Community radio station in Johannesburg. A corrupt person such as Thomas, calling himself a corruption buster! Not only have this but Darmanovitch and Thomas also been in contact with people such as Genl Nyembe, the Head of Defense Intelligence, Brig Genl Modise and a Col Ngobeni. These 3 persons have been pointed out as being set on abusing the State’s resources in order to enrich themselves. In this regard, they are in serious competition with Dennis Buthelezi, the Director Genl of the State Security Agency (SSA). These people have no scruples in telling people that they want to share in the business and that all of the problems will then go away. The problem that they created in the first instance! These 2 poison brothers have no scruples in badmouthing Genl Richard Mdluli when it suits him and sends disinformation into the world about him. They do the same with Genl Sibiya, the Head of the corrupt HAWKS investigation unit of the SAPS.

They also claim that Genl Sibiya is at their disposal and parades him at lunches whence he appears. Unknowingly that they are parading him in order to fleece one or other innocent victim.

Thomas and Darmanovitch have “knocked “many people. They pretend to be able to solve a situation, most probably created by themselves, take the victim’s money, whether it is R 20 000, R 50 000 or even R 300 000 and more. Any protestations are dealt with via their newspaper contacts in order to generate doubt on their targets. In this regard, they

use a slimy journalist by the name of Jacques Pauw. His editors are so pathetic that he manages to get away with all his slimy stories! Daily Darmanovitch has lunches going in either Pretoria or Johannesburg. Café 41 is Eastwood, The Dros in Menlyn, as well as various other restaurants. SAPS (Police) members and Intelligence miserable lives all frequent these occasions.

They are not only agents of influence, but they are actively involved in creating situations that they desire. In the matter of the Roux Shabangu lease scam and the SAPS, they covered – up the dealings of one Sayeed Mia by befriending Johnny De Lange from the SIU. In this regard, De Lange’s boss Johan Kluyts, Darmanovitch, Thomas, a Col Frik Smit and Johnny De Lange had ensured that Mia was not prosecuted. What could their motivation had been? What is normally the incentive?

It is patently obvious that Pres Zuma is sitting with a major problem. His Intelligence Service has been compromised, Brig Genl Modise dealing with Darmanovitch, who had boasted about such, this Darmanovitch is also supplying information to the Serbian and Russian Intelligence Services. He is on his own contention supplying also ex-President Thabo Mbeki with such information against Pres Zuma. This all whilst Chad Thomas is working for him and whose job it is to influence inter alia also political parties, such as the DA. Here, he leads Diane Kohler Barnard and other members by the nose, apparently such as David Maynier etc.

These are the very same people who have been especially close to Radovan Krejcir, the arrested crime boss. A thought to ponder is when will these people together with their Police buddies try to spring him from prison? Is it possible? With all the contacts these people so manifest, anything is certainly possible!

There is a lot more on this story and will follow soon…….

South Africa - Part 6 Sins of the Fathers

Sins of the Fathers – Part VI – And the Money –

Where has it all gone?

This report has been floating around on the Internet, some of it may not be true, but a mighty lot seems to fit in with what is known today.

FW DE KLERK AND COVERT DEALINGS PRIOR TO THE 1994 ELECTIONS

For 2, decades, accusations against the FW de Klerk government have been flying about. Many people have been whispering about vast sums of money being paid over by Swiss bank accounts to NP politicians and government operators to hand over the SA government to the ANC. For 18, years, nothing could be proven, until now:

CITIBANK

‘black gold’ through Project Hammer – some 30 accounts used. Asked where these accounts were located, Cocke responded saying – in almost one solid block at Citibank.

Gen. Erle Cocke ran Nugan Hand Bank’s Washington office. In April 2000, Cocke gave a deposition running to 67 pages concerning his knowledge and involvement in Project Hammer. Ten days later, he died from pancreatic cancer. His explosive deposition reveals him as a immensely significant and well connected player in a world few of us are familiar with. Cocke related in his report how Citibank was used as halfway stop for dodgy financial dealings in

PROJECT HAMMER

Project Hammer was a desperate undertaking by the USA government to rescue some of its leading

banks, who, by the end of the 1980 has, faced insolvency. These banks included Citibank, HSBC, Chase Manhattan and the Bank of New York. The project was designed to cipher gold and diamonds as collateral as an emergency buoy for the ailing banks and to put the USA’s economy on track again. It is at this stage that South Africa’s De Klerk government entered the fray – as major gold and diamond supplier, it was the easiest and cheapest way to rescue the USA banking sector. Only one small problem: South Africa was in political turmoil with the white rightwing challenging the NP government on all fronts. The perfect smokescreen Citibank could reflect upon to move large amounts of money and gold bullion was:

Create political instability (between the NP goverment and the ANC). Then create a political vacuum where dodgy gold and diamond deals could be done without too many questions (maybe even an interim NP/ANC goverment. Where the minimum control would facilitate covert gold and diamond movements). Project Hammer involved the trading of $13.6 trillion in debentures resulting in ‘fallout’ of about $1.1 trillion which was stashed in the Howard Hughes account in Credit Suisse. Obviously, in a project of this size, many organizations had to be involved: The CIA, FBI, all the NSA agencies, Pentagon in the broadest senses of it and as such, the Treasury and Federal Reserve. Nobody got out of the act, and everybody wanted to get in on the act – for there were lots and lots of money to be made.

EXECUTIVE OUTCOMES, SANDLINE and the STASI

  Another person who has played a prominent role in Project Hammer was Roelf van Rooyen, who operated a number of business entities including one called ‘Oceantech’ and another called ‘Eastech’ International Bank. At one, time, Van Rooyen worked for SA Intelligence and is also believed to have been working for the CIA at the time Project Hammer was in the process. Of significance is the fact that Gen. Cocke and Van Rooyen knew each other, although Cocke says he only spoke to him on the phone but never ‘shook hands with him’. During a police interrogation in Germany in1995, Van Rooyen when questioned about Project Hammer responded: if you are referring to Operation Hammer, it is an extremely large, extremely delicate operation in co-operation with the authorities of different countries in which Oceantech is involved. Working alongside Van Rooyen was SA Intelligence operative Riaan Stander.

 Both Stander and Van Rooyen were board members of the “Eastcorp Syndicate” which

Boasted of having some boasted almost two dozen other companies in its stable.
Included were Intercol Pty, Ltd, Cavo Shipping – which conducted intelligence gathering missions for governments, and Bridge S.A. The latter was registered in Monrovia, Liberia. According to Peter Goslar, once a close friend of Riaan Stander, other board members of Bridge S.A., were Colonel Tim Spicer and Mick Ranger of ‘Sandline’ fame. In a letter written to a Washington law firm involved in a lawsuit involving Project Hammer, Goslar fingers Bridge S.A. – and hence Van Rooyen and Riaan Stander, as ‘part of the Executive Outcomes operation. Eastech International Bank was underwritten by a Mexican firm Ro-Mar Pharmaceuticals, a firm claiming to control over $100 billion in gold.

Van Rooyen and Stander entered via Eastech into an agreement to purchase 5000 metric tons of gold at a reduction of 4% from the Second London Fix. This gold was held in the free zone area beneath Zurich’s Kloten Airport. Interestingly, the contract, which ran to six pages, bears the official stamp of the Swiss Police, authorizing and validating the transaction. By 1995, Eastech International Bank had begun to hit the radar screen of regulatory authorities around the world that viewed it with suspicion, but by then it seems likely that much of Project Hammer’s SA objectives had been fulfilled. Fearing the worse, Roelf Van Rooyen left SA and travelled to Germany. According to his one-time friend, Peter Goslar, this is where he still lives albeit protected by former members of the East Germany’s Stasi spy-network.

Tony Giordiadis, from Greece. Giordiadis had exceptionally close ties with Richard Charter (corporate manager of BMW at the time).

Moving money between accounts is easy, especially when it is done with the blessing of the major banks and government, but moving gold and weapons around the globe is not so easy. Enter one of the key players, shipping tycoon

On May 11 and 12, 1990, De Klerk paid an official visit to Greece. Here, he met with Pres. Caramanlis and Prime Minister Mitsosakies. De Klerk also met Tony Gordiakis at this time. Of Greek origin, but London based, Georgiadis shipped oil to SA in contravention of sanctions and developed close relations with members of the NP goverment. To distribute money freely, Georgiadis opened a bank account in Liberia for Mallar Incorporated (it was also through this account that bribes to the tune of $22 million were paid to ANC officials during the Arms Deal). Geordiadis’s father-in-law Lanaras once served as director of the shipping firm Alandis. The conspirators were faced by another huge obstacle – the loyal members of the Defense Force, Military Intelligence, National Intelligence Agency and the South Africa Police, who would immediately put a stop to the transactions, should they find out. Georgiades divorces his wife, and she is currently the wife F W De Klerk.

‘THE NIGHT OF THE GENERALS’

De Klerk fired all loyal officers to that his collaborators could move freely. On December 19, 1992, FW de Klerk fired 23 senior army officers, including navy officers, who could pose a threat to his plans. So great was the speed with which De Klerk acted that even the army’s public relations office was not informed of the press conference. In addition, many of the officers disciplined, were on holiday and were unaware of their suspension. The axed officers included: Major-General Chris Thirion, Deputy Chief of Staff Intelligence, who had a reputation of being one of the more progressive of the younger generation of generals, Major-General Hennie Roux, Chief of Army Intelligence, Brigadier Ferdie Van Wyk, Director of Army Communications, who master-minded Project Echoes, Brigadier Tolletjies Botha, Director – Directorate of Covert Collection, which was raided in November by investigators of the Goldstone Commission, including UN personnel, Brigadier Oos van der Merwe, Director of Army Intelligence, Commander Jack Widdowson of the Navy. He named only three other officers, Colonel At Nel, Colonel Chris Prinsloo and Commandant Stephen Snyders, who were all put on compulsory leave.

This followed the purge of 19 police generals in August as part of a drive to bring the police in line with the negotiation process. The extra Indemnity Act pushed through Parliament in August, needed to help ease officers out. The November raid on Military Intelligence’s Directorate of Covert Collection in November, by Goldstone investigators, which provided the pretext for setting up the eventual probe by Genl Pierre Steyn. A top-level meeting between senior Umkhonto We Sizwe and SADF officials in early August took place, brokered by the National Intelligence Service, which generally carries out the will of the cabinet. December’s ‘rationalization’ measures, which include the retrenchment of 6000 middle ranking officers, followed. In just 5 months, De Klerk had opened the door wide, for his own operators to continue the sell-out. “I have never before seen a government destroy its own power base, such as this one is doing” – said former chief of Military Intelligence, Gen. Tienie Groenewald, while the country is steadily moving towards complete chaos, the government has effectively neutralized the SADF’s intelligence capacities by removing the eyes, ears and nose of the defense forces.

The Greek shipping tycoon could now go about his business unhindered. Georgiadis was of course also

implicated in the swindle with the sinking of the Greek ship, Salem, off the African coast earlier in what was described by Lloyds of Great Britain as the biggest maritime swindle ever. “Salem – Lloyd’s pursues what may be the biggest maritime swindle ever – At 10:50 am Greenwich time on Jan. 17, crewmen aboard the tanker British Trident, sighted a ship in distress off the coast of Senegal in Northwest Africa. The Salem, a 214 000 ton supertanker, registered in Liberia, was listing and dead in the water. By radio contact with the tanker, Trident learned that a series of mysterious explosions was responsible for the disaster. Indeed, a cloud of orange smoke billowed from the tanker’s deck. By 11:30 the disabled ship’s Greek-born captain, Dimitrios Georgoulis, and his 22 crewmen, most of them Tunisians, had abandoned the ship.”

‘n Plek waar die son weer skyn. Nevertheless, Marike de Klerk was not done yet. Then, sadly, on 2 Dec. 2001, she was brutally murdered in her Dolphin Beach complex, Bloubergstrand apartment, hours after sending an undisclosed fax to Holland. Curiously – the European Union paid R30 000 into the account of the murder accused – Mboniswa, channeled by the Foundation for Human Rights, for DNA tests. Mboniswa stood trail in the Western Cape High Court and was found guilty of the murder, without taking the stand in his own defense.

Side note: It was at this time that the entire Project Hammer was put at risk by FW de Klerk’s impulsiveness. German operators learned that De Klerk was having an affair with Georgiadis’s wife, Elita (Lanaras’s daughter). A memorandum was sent to the CIA, who decided to put a lid on the affair, until after the completion of Project Hammer. Knowledge of the affair would not only open an assortment of problems, but it was not clear what Georgiadis’s response to the affair would be. This only became public after another two years. There would be a twist – Marike de Klerk. When FW de Klerk divorced Marike to marry Elita, a clause was written into the divorce agreement that De Klerk would be able to censor any books or article Marike might decide to write – which indeed he did when he prevented the publication of a chapter titled Grotgesprek (cave conversation) in the autobiography titled

What was to follow was the orchestrated and directed ‘political reform’ as was dictated to by foreigners of this country. The reform was steered by international banks/financiers as well as foreign intelligence agencies. The subsequent buy-out of South African politicians and role players, culminated in the demise of a country.

In their book “THE FALL OF THE ANC “ by Prince Mashele & Mzukisi Qobo, they refer to the fact from 1989 until 1994 under then Pres F W De Klerk the RSA’s foreign debt had snowballed from R 91,2 billion to R 237 billion, in current prices. Therefore, is this article from the Internet so farfetched?

Today we have questionable characters who claim on  one instance they represent Pres Zuma and on the other, they renounce him and in effect slander him? The Sereti Commission in Pretoria is busy investigating the Arms Deal and the resultant corruption. Again, we see and hear a lot of nonsense put forth. The supposed secrecy provisions in these Commissions is not so much as to protect t the interests of the RSA, but rather that of the individuals that benefited from that. The admissions by people such as Vice-ADMIRAL Johnny Kamerman (retired) to the fact that the Minister of Defense had a prerogative in the choosing of the suppliers of equipment does not ring true. Yet, nobody seems to have grasped the importance of this admission. An issue to which we shall return later on whilst we have regarded to the role such con artists such as Chad Thomas is playing in order to mislead the public. In addition, the fact that the Intelligence Services in the RSA is populated with such scoundrels who are jell bent on stuffing their pockets and misleading the government.

Why is President Zuma, the man with the splinter in his eye, so vilified? Does this all relate to these historical happenings, which still plays a role in the current South Africa’s?
