Much has been written and said about Covid 19 vaccines. Several governments and corporate entities are now making vaccination mandatory. I have been looking into this matter through the eyes of non-medical person with at least, a little common sense.I was aware that the number of cases in Europe and...

Recently we have been bombarded with comments from a wide variety of people, mostly urging us to get the “vaccine” against the virus. I put the word vaccine in quotation marks very deliberately, in my view a vaccine should prevent you from being infected, the vaccines currently being forced on u...

Local Elections 2021The crazy election season is with us again, all manner of politicians are making the usual promises, as well as hurling insults at each other. I still find it fascinating that none of the parties pay any attention the main problems facing the country.The DA has taken a leaf ...

Warning! This article contains graphic content.In Johannesburg, on Friday the 9th of October 2020, Carl Niehaus organized a protest action in support of J. Zuma and the RET faction of the ANC. Mr Niehaus called for the “recusal” of DCJ Zondo and the disbanding of the commission into “State cap...

The US of A is about to hold elections for their president. The incumbent, Donald Trump, has suffered severe criticism from the democratic party since before he even took office. It has become popular amongst many, to lambast Mr. Trump for his many faults, whilst never acknowledging his success’s....

Under South African law, any person accused of a crime is assumed to be “innocent until proven guilty” in a court of law. The use of this provision under law, has now become standard practise for the protection of ANC cadre’s and associate’s. Any “comrade” that is accused of corruption, ...

In South Africa, we are supposed to have a free press. Comparing the content in local media to other media from around the world, I notice something particularly strange. There is a total absence of any content critical of China, this is simply not reasonable considering that China has a terrible re...

The recent disagreements between the World Health Organisation  (WHO) and Donald Trump has received some attention from the South African media, but we seem to get only a part of the story. Our media seems unwilling to criticize China or the WHO in any way. The fact is, Mr. Trump has some justi...

In a very short time the world has effectively changed. The COVID 19 disease has become the main topic of news and conversation worldwide. There are several aspects which I find very disturbing, and seem to be getting very little attention in the media. Whether or not my concerns are justified, only...

The outbreak of corona virus (or covid 19) in the world has led to ordinary citizens (like me) being unsure if we should panic, or not. We hear from medical people that the virus is less serious than the influenza virus, really? if this is so, please tell me about any sporting event being cancelled ...

Ordinary people in South Africa seem to have no idea of how deeply we are in trouble. Our finance minister seems to be the only member of the government executive who has any realisation for just how much trouble we are in, and has resorted to “twitter” in an attempt to warn us. People we are in...

?Something that I have found very interesting is the fact that some objects found in South America ( Bolivia), appear to have "proto Sumerian" writing on them. This has led to much speculation about the Sumerians having travelled to South America. This is obviously a possibility that should be consi...

I find it amazing that there is so much discussion about the ecomony of South Africa, and all of these discussions skirt around the main issue, DEBT. From every SOE, to every municipality and the central government itself, the biggest single problem is the staggering amounts of DEBT. Even the simple...

The current situation in SA as regards race is not doing anyone any good, at least that is my perception. I am white so many black people will regard my point of view as irrelevant and racist, that is their right, but I should stress that I care about the wellbeing of my country and all of its citiz...

With Eskom's problems so much in the news lately South Africans have rightly become very concerned about electricity supply and also the cost escalation of power. It is this and the ongoing problem of polution from coalfired power stations that has led me to put some thought into alternative and env...

The golden age of man is a concept which has origins amongst almost all the people of the world. The universal concept is of a time when man had no need to work or till the earth, there was an abundance of food, no wars or crime such as we have to deal with today. During this mythical time man was i...

OR WHY THE DA WENT BACKWARDS.Most people in SA will be familiar with the lady on her bicycle who seems unable to avoid obstacles in her path. In the same way the DA seems unable to avoid obstacles on its way to the elections. As leader Mr. Maimane must take a large portion of the responsibility and ...

Our 2019 elections have come and gone and the ANC got 57.5% of the vote. This is somewhat more than they had a right to expect, all things considered. My view is that the ANC was always going to win, given the strength of their organisation and the ignorance of a lot of voters, but the percentage is...

The possibility that in ancient times there were people (or "Gods"), capable of flying has many references in ancient writings, so much so that it is hard to ignore. People from Christian background will be familiar with the biblical stories of Moses and others, who possibly had encounters with unkn...

With all the problems surrounding Eskom in recent years I have invested in solar panels mainly to protect computors from power outages. After testing the system for a while I have discovered that a lot of the solar panel generation is wasted. The system I have, charges batteries during the daytime, ...

Dear Mr RamaphosaLet me start by saying that you are a vast improvement, as a President, as compared to your predecessor, but that is not really a huge compliment. You have asked so nicely for the voters to give the ANC another 5 years in office, I must therefore consider voting for the ANC.There ar...

South Africa seems to have more than its fair share of uneducated and illiterate hooligans littering the countryside. I suspect that our education system may have something to do with that. I am not a teacher and have no personal experience with teaching, but I have been in a position to overheard t...

Much is said these days about expropriating land and nationalising industry & mining in SA, all of which is supposed to uplift the poor black people (usually at the expense of the white people). All these ideas never ever touch on the real problem, and the real reason why black people are unable...

I grew up in a Christian home and as with everybody else I accepted Christianity as a part of my life, I was confirmed as a member of the Methodist church at age 15. At home religion was not a major issue, we went to church, said prayers but we were not fanatical. I read quite a lot and at age 16 I ...

Around the world there exist structures built with stone in multisided form, all of which fit together perfectly, almost like a jigsaw puzzle. The standard theory is that these shapes were carved by hand to interlock perfectly. This explanation seems to me to be extremely implausible, especially con...

According to what I was taught at school, the earth and other planets were formed from loose matter floating around the universe which over time gathered together to form the sun and planets. This is called acretion. These planets were then caught up by the gravitational feild of the sun and settled...

The Giza Pyramids-----------------------------I'm only a laymen and have never seen these pyramids, but that hasn't stopped me from being fascinated by them and to have given much thought into the why, how, who and when of their construction. The textbook versions that we are taught have made less a...

In this article I will present my views of the main political parties in SA at the present time (November 2018).

Evolution or Religion?We are taught in school and in religion 2 different versions of history, both incorrect in my view. At school we are taught about evolution and are expected to believe that man evolved from apes over millions of years. It may be that evolution has its place in our history, howe...
