No that is not true. The Johannesburg station bombing is a famous 
incident and it had nothing to do with Nelson Mandela, who was in 
jail at the time facing treason charges. It was planted by members of 
the Communist Party (whites). Mandela was not a member of the 
Communist Party and was not even a Marxist.

>Bearing this in mind is he any better than
>any other terrorist?

Why don't you at least try to check your "facts" first?

Fred just said, correctly, that the former political regime in South 
Africa is not to be believed, and yet it still seems to have 
credibility in certain quarters. People see that Mandela was jailed 
for "sabotage", they do not check the facts of the case, though I 
posted them in a previous response, and nor do they check what 
sabotage actually meant during the state of emergency and the 
suspension of rights and the rule of law during the 1960s, when all 
this happened. "Sabotage" was so widely defined that the painting of 
a slogan on a wall could be defined as sabotage and could be 
punishable by death. Mandela was jailed on trumped-up charges of 
economic sabotage, not for planting bombs that killed people. The 
terrorists in white South Africa were uniformed white policeman and 
shadowy police spies and agents provocateur who murdered many 
dissidents (and their family members, including children) by means of 
letter bombs, car bombs, and so on - classic terrorist tactics. Ruth 
First, Marius Schoon's wife and daughter, many others, were murdered 
by these government terrorists. It is not in doubt, the culprits have 
admitted it. Do a search for Craig Williamson, for instance. But you 
accuse Mandela. In fact you're slandering him, as did McPherson.

An other anonymous contributor or maybe the same? Mandela was not charged 
of being a bomber nor was he convicted. I have copied Keith answer on this 
at an earlier occasion.

It's not only ridiculous, it's plain wrong, as I said. What happened in the 
REAL world, Richard, is that Mandela was NOT a convicted bomber as you 
claim. He was captured and sentenced to five years' hard labour for leaving 
the country illegally and for inciting a labour strike. While in prison, he 
was charged with the other nine Rivonia triallists for plotting to 
overthrow the government - treason, which carried the death penalty. 
However, it was deemed unwise to hang him, so the charge was changed and he 
was sentenced to life imprisonment on four trumped up counts of economic 
sabotage.

Richard McPherson

Finally I have a name and a correct identification of the person I talk to. 
It took some time before you had the guts to tell who you are and still, 
maybe you are not the one you claim to be. It must be quite awesome to have 
the need to hide behind other identities, like you tried with Motie.

I have to thank you for two things,

You are putting some adrenalin in this debate, were many of us had a 
feeling of resignation.

and

You provide a very good example of what we're up against.

I am aware of that it is nothing I can say, that will make you study the 
background for your opinions a little bit better. What I think is most 
scaring for most of us, is that other people would belive your unqualified 
opinions. Until now, I only had easy statements from you and no background 
for them. I do not know if you are aware of your method of propaganda or if 
you are a victim of others, my guess is that you are a victim. Because if 
you are an instigator you would not try it in this auditorium.

The technique is easy and effective. First you define your goal and that is 
why I think you are a victim, because you have no goal. Then you formulate 
a few number of punch lines that supports your goal, it does not matter if 
they are true or not as long as they are persuasive and have the right 
emotional effect on your listeners. Then you repeat your punch lines on all 
available occasions and avoid to get into concrete discussions about them. 
After a while, you will have a lot of people who belive you and that are 
prepared to support you. Some of them will not belive you, but since you 
are successful, they want to be a part of that success also and will 
support you.

To enhance your technique, I suggest that you turn on your TV and listen to 
the news. It is especially demonstrated today, with all that is going on at 
the moment. Regarding MTBE, a friend is a very strong argument but all 
documentation points to an inventive disposal method from the oil industry. 
Please do not insult me, by telling me that I cannot read.

So do you. "Yes, but they're OUR terrorists." You supported Bin Laden

That's a lie, Mr McPherson. Mandela killed nobody. As I said, and as 
you yourself said, you take no notice of whatever might not agree 
with you, clearly a lifelong habit. You have not read my quite 
detailed enough response to you on this, not worth your time, eh? So 
you waste everybody else's time here making the same stupid and 
slanderous assertions all over again. As I said in that response, I 
was there at the time, and much involved, while you were at home with 
your eyes closed steeped in your prejudices and bigotry. I provided 
references, if you have any integrity at all go and check them and 
respond to them like an honest person. Or go away.

You're the one doing that, I'm countering your lies, everything is on

yours except your bigotry, which will undoubtedly in the end bring 
you what you deserve.

Prove I'm spreading lies, McPherson. I challenge you. I've already 
proved you're spreading them. Disprove it. I question your integrity. 
I say you have none. Defend yourself like an honest man or stand 
condemned as a dishonest one.

Huh? What government? What family? You think we're all Americans

take any notice of us, eh? Pathetic. I'm not an American, I don't

does not deserve to be burdened by people like you.

Take note, Mr McPherson, don't keep on flinging the same mud and 
ignoring what people have said to you in the meantime, or simply 
denying it without reason. This is a discussion list, and that does 
not qualify as discussion, only as prejudice.

Please provide the proof that this was indeed fact.  Documentation

I am not willing to believe this or anything said unless it is 
established as fact.  Please cite at least three sources of this 
information. Do not include documents of the former political

Until you provide this do not post anything on the topic.  It is very

In the case of Mandela he was a terrorist of the worst kind a person who set

No, Motie would not say such things. But Mr McPherson is careless.

Baffling. But on the other hand, I suppose Osama bin Laden could also 
claim that. Actually I'd expect Bin Laden to be a lot more aware than 
this.

I think that's what I told him last time round, re Mandela - he might 
as well have stayed at home with his eyes closed.

But it certainly happens. I remember an Englishman trying to get his 
big millionaire's yacht fixed at a boatyard in Spain, a 
well-travelled man. He was shouting and getting furious, and of 
course the more he shouted the less cooperation he got. Finally he 
lost his temper. I happened to be nearby and he turned to me and 
bellowed: "The trouble with these bloody foreigners is they can't 
even speak English!" I don't think that man was capable of learning 
anything.

I think it's clear that Mr McPherson doesn't care about minor issues 
like truth. Wilful blindness is not the most attractive of human 
traits. What you and I are saying here "isn't worth reading", as far 
as he's concerned, he knows better. Sad.

Keith,

I only want to tell that I never thought that it was Motie who wrote it, 
since it did not come from his email address and it is not his style. From 
one who have been working in 30 countries, I cannot understand Mr 
McPherson's views. My experience is that the more countries you have been 
in close contact with, the less likelihood that you have a one sided view 
and make statements like his. One must be blind, deaf, stupid and asleep if 
one do.

Nelson Mandela is one of the world's greatest leaders in modern history and 
recognized for it when he still is alive. I did not respond to this about 
Greenpeace and terrorist organization, because it was so stupid, but 
thank's that you did. I have several friends who are active in Greenpeace 
and they are for sure not terrorists. If he wanted anyone to belive that, 
the incident on NZ and the case around it prove the opposite.

of state for a while. She'll be back at an undisclosed time.
 I have NO plans to back off or compromise my principals in the face

Mr McPherson, Motie didn't write that, you did. And Hakan is quite 
right to complain about your selective snipping. You're rather 
selective about a lot of things it seems, especially what you see and 
would rather not see. All the evidence so far is that if somebody on 
the list disagrees with you, Hakan, me, Todd, anyone, and disproves 
what you're saying or provides a more balanced view than, you'll 
simply ignore it as, according to you, "what most people rant about 
what they think is going on in the world", not bother to respond when 
they've proved you completely wrong, and no doubt happily continue to 
be completely wrong. You never did respond to this:
http://archive.nnytech.net/index.php?view=17272&list=BIOFUEL

And I'm sure you'll still say that Mandela is a "convicted bomber and 
Marxist". Debunking this foolish and baseless slander took me time 
that would better have been spent elsewhere, the whole thing was 
nothing but a distraction to the list, and no doubt you found "it 
does no good even to read it". This is typical of your style on the 
list - it's a discussion list, but you're not prepared to discuss or 
defend your views, all you do is chuck a dead rat on the carpet every 
now and then and walk away with your nose in the air. That and spam 
your Dipetane.

Hakan said he often doesn't agree with Greenpeace, I added that they 
cheat sometimes, we often criticise the big enviro groups. It's 
balanced enough. But your bullshit that they're a "terrorist 
organization" and the rest of it is nought but blind bigotry, as with 
Mandela. If you don't have anything to contribute other than bigotry, 
denial, distraction and spam, please be quiet.

Yes that was French agents and they were convicted i NZ court. Later 
expelled to France against the promise that they would serve the sentence 
there. I did not try to confuse any, I just thought that their nationality 
was irrelevant in a discussion about principles. This kind of things goes 
on and are practiced by many arrogant nations. To set the record straight, 
the vessel was blown up to stop the ongoing protest about the French tests 
of nuclear bombs, which in itself destroyed the islands that were used.

Dear Richard,

I am quite tired on this kind of trimming of what I write and deliberate 
misinterpretations of what I am saying. You do not have to prove that 
often, that I was right in my opinion about trimming and censorship. If you 
read my whole message, it should be clear that it was their ability to get 
publicity, and not necessarily their issues.  I do not contribute to 
Greenpeace, because I do not agree with many of their methods and 
simplification of issues. I do not agree with the US lobbying methods 
either and the people involved in it and I do not agree with using 
kickbacks in any organization, including Greenpeace.

I do not agree with staging of killing of baby seals and I do not agree 
with the clubbing of seals that goes on either. To stage a cruel act for 
the record is equally or more despicable than the original act. I do not 
support them blowing up vessels and I do not support those who blow up 
their vessels. I have physically seen the ship in NZ soon after the event 
and the police records, who clearly identifies the terrorists as government 
agents. I do not support any kind of terror, even the ones who are done in 
the name of National interest, it is no viable excuses for terror and it 
does not matter if it is for the cause of Israel or Palestine. I am against 
the death penalty, since it cannot be any excuses for anyone to take human 
life.

Any more questions? If not, let us go back to the motive for the discussion 
on how we can effectively should counter the oil snakes arguments.

Hey, cheer up folks, we're winning! Motie, nobody's going to put you 
in a rubber room just yet - maybe you're tearing your hair out, but 
what you say is very sensible and to the point, not irrational at 
all, nor incoherent. No need to stop, please don't clam up on us.

It's not just that people who're too lazy to do their own thinking 
use this discredited "research" and ignore the debunkings, it's also 
that that's what they want to think, they already agree, and they 
also don't care whether it's true or not. Hakan just pointed out the 
immense bias of the MTBE bail-out. For sure Hakan is not the only 
person to notice such things. There are MANY such things, and one 
hears ominous rumblings, there's a rising tide of rejection. People 
aren't as dumb as these smug and arrogant liars and spinners like to 
think, nor as short on memory.

Take heart.

 Hakan,
 I think we are in agreement as to what the problem is, but how to 
effectively counter it is the next question.
 Pimentel has been refuted and debunked by numerous people, but 
his 'research' is still accepted and is used as a reference by those 
who are too lazy to do their own studies. Then that 'study' is used 
as a reference by someone else.

  Hi Keith,
  I absolutely agree it must be countered, but I am nearly burnt-out 
from countering this same stuff over and over. These are the guys who 
are as accepted as the Gospel. The rest of us are perceived as 
Blasphemous, and dismissed without ever listening to us.
  I am getting a reputation as a Crackpot for attempting to refute 
any of this 'stuff'.
  Those of us interested in alternative fuels are perceived in teh 
same light as those who have made claims for Over-Unity Devices. We 
aren't taken seriously by those who accept this 'stuff' as common 
knowledge.
  Before we can find a solution to a problem, we must define the 
problem. I see the problem as being ignorance on the part of anyone 
who believes this 'stuff' without any evidence to support it. 
Unfortunately, the people with political clout and influence fall for 
it. The topic is beyond their comprehension, so they blindly accept 
whatever the read as Truth if it is presented in an officious manner.
  I beleive this is the major problem with getting through to the 
ignorant Bureuacrats in charge of issueing permits and writing 
regulations.
  This is major misinformation and is harmful to all of us when it is 
accepted as Factual.
  Can we sue for damages? A Class-action Suit, with all the citizens 
of the world as Plaintiffs?
  My apologies to all for my frustrations coming out so strong. No 
offense is intended to anyone on this list.

  Looking for solutions,
  Motie
