Borrowed from one of my favourite writers ... in his own Press release ...
“I will call a spade a spade. We are dealing with a police state. A leadership that has no compunction whatsoever in deploying FEAR in the form of psychological warfare against its own citizens and stakeholders is by every definition a police state – to me it is very simple. Whether that power is used or not is immaterial. The very fact that the right to freedom of speech can even be surreptitiously hijacked in such a brazen manner without any regard to constitutional convention suggest this is a morally and ethically bankrupt government – who is prepared to do anything including circumvent the law to serve it’s own nefarious interest at the expense of the citizenry.
As a consequence there is no basis for trust any longer. You pull this off and in my book, you have lost the plot. Completely and totally – it’s not negotiable. Not by the serious men at least – I can assure all of you, this variety of men will not just allow this to pass happily by – you have to be kidding me – it doesn’t matter that the Parliamentarians who are elected and who are supposed to defend our rights are all silent, or that not even a single academic, jurist or for that matter the good for nothing President has spoken up about this travesty of justice. It matters not Gentlemen as when you peruse through the annals of history – you will discover those who are not prepared to defend and fight for their rights, they never once owned. And that is really all that is needed to win! The hollow men, half and quart men, we can all do without.
That is reality.
To win. We must draw the enemy in. We must stretch his supply lines so thin that he is forced like the Chinese to keep pouring in materiale into this enterprise – we must make him pour men and material into this long and protracted campaign that I expect may last 10 to possibly 15 years. As I suspect this will likely be a long drawn out affair like a war of attrition.
We must make it so hard, difficult and costly that the enemy constantly wonders to himself, ‘I wish, I did not start this.’
We must run deep and silent. After the 1st of June nothing can be trusted any longer. My heart is so heavy as it should not have come to this at all. This is something I do not relish at all. I had always hoped that we could find common ground – but now, the only thing to do is to see this rotten good for nothing outfit out of the door
