The Battle for South Africa
August 5, 2023
FROM The Plot Against South Africa by Klaus D. Vaqué (Varama, 1989):
The first phase in the long march to power was the adoption of the ANC and its incorporation in the socialist world revolution. For the second stage many “useful idiots” were enlisted: churchmen, liberals and socialists, who could not see what was afoot in South Africa. The controlled mass-media saw to the rest by softening up the country with a constant barrage of propaganda in readiness for the final charge and driving it into world-political isolation and economic ruin.
A whole army of Eastern agents who had been training for their task for decades was dispatched to South Africa. One of them. Commodore Dieter Gerhardt, the senior naval officer in Simonstown, had kept the Russians informed for over twenty years about modern Western weapons systems and the South African “ear to the world”, the communications centre at Silvermine in the Cape.
The gains to the Russians and the planners of the New World Order would indeed have been great. The incorporation of South Africa in the Russian sphere of influence would deprive the NATO pact states of a very important position geographically and militarily. The strategic situation of South Africa, its well-equipped harbours and repairing docks, its well-constructed airfields and its dense network of road, rail and information communications make it an almost ideal base for sea and air operations in the southern parts of the Indian and Atlantic oceans. In the age of huge tankers the Cape route has become the most important link between the Arab oil states and the NATO countries. Moreover, seventy per cent of the strategic raw materials needed by Western Europe and over a quarter of its food imports are carried round the Cape.
Whoever rules South Africa can at any time turn off the tap on European and to a lesser degree on American industry. The withdrawal of important South African minerals would cripple the defensive capacity of the free world and bring whole arms industries to a standstill. In short, Europe would be at the mercy of a hostile super-power that could hamstring its national economies and its defensive capacity at will. The net result of this situation is obvious. The battle for South Africa is actually a battle for control of the rich industrial nations of Western Europe. Its ultimate goal is the incorporation of America in the socialist world republic of the super-bankers.
