Second Cambridge Analytica whistleblower says 'sex compass' ...



Brittany Kaiser 
  • Brittany Kaiser says Cambridge Analytica used numerous questionnaires to gather data. You can read it at the link provided above. Interesting reading.  
  • Sex is such a powerful force in life and in death. Why do I mention death? It seems to me that even in the face of death there are those people who will perform a sexual act - have a look at the images pouring in of areas that are struck by violence and you will see thin, emaciated pregnant women, clutching a tiny baby, being surrounded by young toddlers. 
  • I ask myself the question whether we have good crooks? Of are there only bad crooks? Or is a crook bad per se? These guys seems to be manipulators par excellence. In the meantime, our money is pouring into their pockets at our expense. Robin Hood, the prince of thieves? Maybe there are good crooks!
  • Besides this lot about good, bad or indifferent crooks out there, whistle-blowers face a tough time. In my country South Africa some of them have to go into hiding or request special protection. 
  • Be careful what you post on social media - somewhere someone is going to exploit it or "misunderstand" it or feel aggrieved by it or twist it to suit his/her way of thinking. Be mindful that there are most of the time various levels of interpreting messages, be it written, spoken or images. The way you read a message is not necessarily the correct way to read it.

THE CONTORTIONIST IN THE HIGH COURT AS ACCUSED NO. 1

The Contortionist is at it again - this time not a NumbaOne, but as Accused Number 1

There is a good summary, so it seems to me, on News24 available of the charge sheet against Accused Number 1, the erstwhile President of the RSA, Jacob Zuma, at this link. I have not read the original charge sheet that is the reason I state that it seems to me to be a good summary. But knowing the antics of this man, the Contortionist, he will have "good explanations" or in other words, "good stories" to tell the court. I encourage you to read this summary of the charge sheet and just imagine what, if you were the accused, you would have to tell the court to get off? 

One thing is for certain and that is the formidable State Advocate, Adv Billy Downer SC who successfully prosecuted this man's erstwhile shaky friend, Shabir Shaik. When a lawyer looks at the crime of corruption there must logically he at the minimum two people involved. One person cannot commit the crime of corruption; one person can commit the crime of murder for instance. Now is the time for the second person to stand trial. 

Our country was prejudiced by the trial of Shaik alone! Zuma should have been with him.

Another interesting fact to notice is that the trial judge is still not named - you can read it at this link

Will we get the same caliber  as that of Judge Hilary Squires? Let us hope so.

ARMED FORCES DAY IN KIMBERLEY SOUTH AFRICA

STATE PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA

 Today I feel very proudly South African. Why? Please join me and watch our President taking the salute of the armed forces. Watch his face and body language: he acknowledges the armed forces marching past him on Wednesday 21 February 2018

What a difference this new incumbent makes to the highest office in the land.

Here is the link. I acknowledge the author of the photograph of the President - I got it from the internet. And the video clip is on the face of it by the SABC and I acknowledge that as well.

Cheating and manipulation: Confessions of a gaslighter

Picture credit to the article on the internet 

Greg, a Canadian lawyer, is 28 but he's already had 11 serious relationships. He says each of those relationships ended with infidelity, on his part, and severe self-doubt on the part of the women. He is a self-confessed "gaslighter". Read this article at this link

You have to read this article and maybe, God forbid, you are in such a relationship. You have to get out of it as soon as is possible. 

There is of course another possibility and that is that your children are gaslighting on you as parents - how on earth do you get out of such a relationship? It does not have to be relationship couples; the permutations are endless. It is really painful if you are at the receiving end of your children pulling this stunt on their parents.

CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES 2017

May you be blessed during this festive period of 2017

The flowers are temporary. Christ is eternal. 

The eternal cross

Please have a look at my YouTube video by clicking here. It is royalty free music that I downloaded from the internet. The grasses are in our garden as well as that succulent - all are temporary. We should come to the Cross of Jesus Christ.

The Story of Derek Redmond's Iconic Olympic Moment

Derek Redmond and his dad - credit: image from the internet

Take five minutes and 30 seconds from your precious time and watch this video clip at this link.

I had to watch it a few times to really appreciate what really happened. It was a moment I wish I had seen in person - but now I have to live with the video clip as second best. Yet, I do appreciate every moment of it and thank the camera crew for taking it.

I invite you to write me a letter and tell me your thoughts on this one: neelscoertse@wirelessza.co.za

Have a good day.

A PHOTOGRAPHER'S WORST NIGHTMARE COME TRUE!! EISH!!!



Oh no!! Not this!! Please tell me I am dreaming!!

Looking at this video clip I can imagine the utter frustration the photographers had when the bus pulled right in front of them while the drama was going on!! Have a look at the clip at this link. Photobomb in the extreme. To add to their misfortune, you can see in the background how the building is coming down - that is not even second best. The aim was to take a video of the entire implosion and now you sit with a bus obscuring your view.
