Bell Pottinger says “Sorry”

So, Bell Pottinger has apologized, well if can you call it an apology because it is certainly half-hearted and only come because the people of South Africa has hit back with a social media campaign of our own. We gave them their own medicine, they felt the pressure, and they relented. We did our own Bell Pottinger on Bell Pottinger.

Yet, Bell Pottinger is keeping the 100 000 pounds per month.  

Their contract with the Guptas lasted almost a year and a half, you can do the sums.
Now they have said “sorry.”

Racial harmony destroyed because of their social media infiltration, hate against whites stoked because so-called white monopoly capital was made the bogeyman. They let that campaign run together with the “whites stole the land “campaign championed by another Gupta goon squad named Black First Land First.

All coordinated to achieve the objective to reroute attention away from the Gupta state capture, which is actually massive state criminality.

It’s not a little innocent thing. Bell Pottinger knew exactly what they are doing.
Bell Pottinger, with their lead account managers for the Guptas –

Victoria Geoghegan, whose father Christopher Geoghegan is a former BAE bigwig, and Nick Lambert acted as mere guns for hire, mercenary spin-doctors. These people are unscrupulous, with corrupted souls. They are in it for the money, and if the devil pays enough, they will design a slick media strategy to promote hell as an attractive destination.

They knew very well what they were doing. They wrote speeches for people on the Gupta payroll, people like Oros Maine.

What they did is script a narrative, and that narrative had one goal in mind, distract attention away from the Guptas.

They gave advice like the opinion that certain key phrases should be used repetitively. They followed the old fascist trick that if you repeat a lie long enough, hopefully, people will start to believe it.
They gave the advice to Gupta companies to respond to all media inquiries with a fixed and predetermined response.

The Bell Pottinger team mainly used the old Nazi trick called “setting up the strawman .” The strawman that they set up is the so-called white monopoly capital. Attention is then transferred to the strawman so the Gupta looting can proceed unhindered in the background.

In the meantime blood was spilled, especially on farms, racial hate stoked.

However, Bell Pottinger has said “sorry.” Also, they are keeping the money.

We, the people, who are standing for truth, had no budget like you did Bell Pottinger. We had no technical knowledge about twitter bots. We did not set up thousands of fake profiles on Facebook and Twitter.

We, the people, had only one thing.
We had the truth.
Moreover, we, the people, won.

Nevertheless, you, Bell Pottinger, has full bank accounts. You were paid with money stolen from the people of South Africa.

We have a broken and bankrupt country.
We are battered, many of us broken.
But we are unbowed.
Je Suis Uncaptured.
