Indeed, this is a manifestation of real karma at work.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">For it has now been revealed that the sign language interpreter who gestured meaninglessly at Mandela&#8217;s memorial service had previously faced charges of murder, rape, theft, breaking and entering, malicious damage to property and kidnapping, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.enca.com\/south-africa\/interpreter\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">eNCA.c<\/span><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">om<\/span><\/a>.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">The South African news site said the outcome of the murder charge against the &#8216;interpreter&#8217;, Thamsanqa Jantjie, was unknown because the 2003 court case file is \u201cmysteriously empty.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">Many of the other charges against Jantjie, were also dropped, eNCA reported, after he was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">However, Jantjie was acquitted in the rape case.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">Deaf aid groups and other sign language interpreters first pointed out that the gestures Jantjie was making at the memorial service made no sense and accused him of being a fake.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">For his part, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/africa\/interpreter-for-mandela-event-i-was-hallucinating\/2013\/12\/12\/5cb9ab00-6300-11e3-af0d-4bb80d704888_story.html\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Associated Press<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">reports<\/span><\/a> that Jantjie says that he suffers from schizophrenia and heard &#8216;voices&#8217; while he was on stage at the remembrance service.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">Meanwhile a South African government spokesman has apologised for any offence caused but<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>admitted that the firm that hired Jantjie has \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/world\/africa\/firm-that-employed-fake-interpreter-for-deaf-at-mandela-memorial-service-has-vanished\/2013\/12\/12\/8fc8f09e-6352-11e3-91b3-f2bb96304e34_story.html?tid=hpModule_04941f10-8a79-11e2-98d9-3012c1cd8d1e\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">vanished into thin<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">air<\/span><\/a>\u201d.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">As noted however, the whole episode is a fitting epilogue for Mandela&#8217;s life.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">The old apartheid regime was admittedly brutal but it was also hostile to monopoly capitalism. In effect it amounted to an obstacle for the Trans-nationals and they only had to use the old regime&#8217;s inherently racist policies to remove it.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">Employing their own media outlets to stir up a groundswell of global indignation, it became little more than an exercise in marketing for the Trans-nationals.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">All they had to do was airbrush Mandela&#8217;s terrorist links out of the picture, award him with a Nobel Peace prize and present him to the world as the face of a &#8220;new, liberated South Africa&#8221;.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">No matter that life hasn&#8217;t improved for the vast <a href=\" https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/?p=86027\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">majority of Black South<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Africans<\/span><\/a>. The Trans-national giants have achieved their goal, installed a more compliant regime and secured their hold over South Africa&#8217;s rich mineral reserves.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">So that now striking Black miners can be gunned down with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-africa-23723457\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">tacit approval of the ruling<\/span> <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">ANC<\/span><\/a>. While many of those who once railed against the old apartheid regime&#8217;s crimes are curiously silent about those sanctioned by the ANC.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">It&#8217;s fitting too that a man who <a href=\"http:\/\/thebackbencher.co.uk\/3-things-you-didnt-want-to-know-about-nelson-mandela\/\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">refused to condemn<\/span><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"> terrorism<\/span><\/a> while alive, and who helped secure the Trans-nationals hold over South Africa&#8217;s mineral reserves, should have his memorial service mistranslated by an admitted schizophrenic with a criminal past.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">That&#8217;s real karma at work.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">It&#8217;s also telling that <a href=\"http:\/\/ewn.co.za\/2013\/12\/13\/Tensions-mount-among-frustrated-mourners\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">scuffles broke out among<span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"> <\/span><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">mourners<\/span> <\/a>at Mandela&#8217;s lying in state.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">That&#8217;s not the sort of behaviour you would expect from mourners solemnly waiting to pay their last respects to a &#8216;great man&#8217;. But it is exactly the sort of behaviour one sees among fans of media created icons, such as teen-idols and pop stars.<\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"MsoNormal\">For that was essentially what Nelson Mandela was: a media created icon in the service of the Trans-nationals. Empty, devoid of any real substance and in the employ of much darker forces, Mandela was sanctified by the New World Order and their media whores.<\/h5>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talk about a fitting epilogue.
