NED is going to be present in Johannesburg of all places next weekend. The live broadcast on Salaamedia called out the NED for being a CIA front, very pro-western/Zionist and collaborating with the Apartheid regime. Both the radio/show host and BDS guest speaker Roshan Dadoo also rightfully took offence to the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation for being one of the venues participating in NED's visit.

I wonder if NED's unwelcome visit to South Africa is related to the unrest in Mozambique, as there have been concerns levied of the violence spilling over into South Africa, with the far-right opposition declaring the elections illegitimate. Of course the supports the Apartheid collaborating party. Mozambique is also just 550 kilometers from Durban and Gauteng. Fertile grounds for another Maidan colour revolution to cause chaos for South Africa. ISIS are also present and have made threats to attack since 2016, but these never materialised.

Just 2 months prior, a Zionist-led "peace in the Middle East" conference that was scheduled to be held in Constitution Hill (also in Johannesburg, which includes the old prison and the Constitutional/Human Rights Court) was canceled due to massive outcry and protests.

Imtiaz Sooliman of the Gift of the Givers should absolutely pursue legal action against the SAJBD, SAZF and SAJR and deliver an earth-shattering smackdown like a WWE fighter with a folding steel chair following defamatory statements in public. I personally think about R1.5 trillion ZAR sounds reasonable enough.

More News about the Far-Right Terrorist Attack in Brazil

A witness was standing at the bus stop in front of the STF and, according to her, a man walked past with a bag and waved it. Then she heard the first explosion. When she looked up, the man had thrown something near the statue of Justice and fell.

The vehicle loaded with fireworks that exploded in the parking lot of Annex IV of the Chamber of Deputies is from the municipality of Rio do Sul, Santa Catarina (Southern Brazil, Far-Right State). The car is registered to Francisco Wanderley Luiz, but it is not known if he is the victim of the explosion.

“The first hypothesis is that a man threw an explosive device at the Supreme Court, exactly near the statue, under the marquee. He threw it and then lay down under the marquee, the device exploded and he was hit on the head.”

“The police are still carrying out forensics at the scene, so we can't determine if there are any other explosives in the perimeter, (...) but what we have now is a preliminary hypothesis of an isolated act. (...) The dead man has a connection with the attack,” says Natuza Nery about the explosions in front of the STF building.

The Federal District Military Police found a vehicle packed with explosive devices in the parking lot of Annex 4 of the Chamber of Deputies, near the Supreme Court. It's the same car that exploded around eight o'clock in the evening in the area around the Supreme Court.

According to Metrópoles' findings, the owner of the car that exploded this evening in Praça dos Três Poderes was a candidate for councillor in 2020, for the PL (Liberal Party, Far-Right, Bolsonaro's Party). A record taken from the Facebook page of “Tiü Franca”, the codename of the car's owner, alludes to a potential attempt on his life.

The Federal District Civil Police and the Institutional Security Office (GSI, Brazil's NSA) are sweeping the vicinity of the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary headquarters on Wednesday night. A sweep is also taking place at the Alvorada Palace, where President Lula is staying. With screenshots of messages sent to himself via WhatsApp, Francisco published, at the beginning of the night, what seemed to be an announcement of what was to come. “Let's play??? Federal Police, you have 72 hours to defuse the bomb that is in the house of the fucking communists,” reads one of the texts.

In a threatening tone, another printout reads: “Be careful when opening drawers, cupboards, shelves, material storage, etc.”. It went on to indicate the supposed start time of the explosions: “Start: 17:48 on 13/11/2024. The game ends on 16/11/2024. Good luck!” The man who died during the explosions at the STF was wearing a jacket with playing cards, possibly a reference to the Joker character from DC Comics.

I was checking his Facebook and his election page: He's married, works as a locksmith and his nickname is “E.T.”. His posts look like a shitpost from some Hearts of Iron fan lol. He claims to be an alien, that God and the aliens are on his side, that killing himself would lead to a right-wing revolution (something the oklahoma bomber also believed in, I wonder if that comes from the Turner Diaries?) He says he hates Drex (which is like the future virtual money of Brazil that doesn't even exist yet).

He posted anti-Maduro stuff (I have no idea why, I think he lives for free in these people's minds). And he attacked Lula as usual, talked about the Moon and how Trump needs to save Brazil with the FBI against pedophiles (something about Operation Storm? I have no idea what that is).

He attacks General Tomás Paiva (leader of the Armed Forces, who is just a normal guy that Bolsonaro hates because he didn't agree with the coup attempt in 2023), has a meltdown about the presidents of Congress and the Senate, and then something about Abin (Brazil's CIA). And then he's angry about Lula's tax reform, saying it's communism because Lula said he would also tax the rich.

He finished by attacking a guy named José Dirceu, who Wikipedia says is a former Workers' Party politician who recently gave interviews, and I don't think this guy liked that. He also said he hates Jose Sarney (1980's Conservative Brazilian President, first civilian after the dictatorship, hates Bolsonaro, dude is like 100 years old lol), Geraldo Alkmin (Vice-President, Former Rival of Lula, known on the Internet for posting memes and wojaks), William Bonner (Some Journalist?) and FHC (1990's Neoliberal President, Former Rival of Lula, hates Bolsonaro)

Now, I'll believe a major foreign policy change from trump when I see it, but setting aside that uncertainty, it is notable that the liberal corporate media has switched gears to defeatism/realism like this. Too bad they didn't do that when the population of ukraine was 10m people higher, but here we are.
