Helen Suzman dies

Can't say I'm sorry to see another liberal depart. Too bad she didn't get to enjoy more of the utopia she helped create but then she's left that legacy to her children and grandchildren to enjoy.

Helen Suzman, a celebrated South African MP and anti-apartheid campaigner, has died at the age of 91. Ms Suzman, a member of parliament first for the United Party and later the liberal Progressive Party, was an outspoken critic of apartheid.

For 13 years, Suzman, the daughter of Lithuanian Jews, was the only MP to openly condemn South Africa's whites-only apartheid regime.

She was made an honorary dame by the Queen in 1989. She was also twice-nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

The former MP, who had been in a frail condition recently, died at her home in Johannesburg early on Thursday.

Ms Suzman, who first entered the South African parliament in 1953, was a thorn in the side of the apartheid regime, BBC correspondent Peter Biles said from Johannesburg. /She was a frequent visitor of jailed African National Congress (ANC) leader Nelson Mandela when he was held on Robben Island prison for 18 years.

Despite her condition, Ms Suzman, who stepped down from parliament in 1989, continued to speak out against what she saw as the failings of South Africa's post-apartheid ANC administration.

Trouble is that Africa does not give 2 hoots about articulate, sane and non corrupt politicians. In the end the system of mediocraty
spat her out and all she can say for herself is that she might have meant well , but the results of her policy is the ultimat destruction of the RSA.

How could she survive as a opposition MP for so long? Was she a token thus allowing the old regime to claim a true democracy among whites, or was the system democratic, for them at least?

What was her position on the 1992 referendum? Did she have any reservation about how the National Party government made the deal with the ANC?

Best whisses, and a happy new year,

Good riddance of bad liberal rubbish. The greatest pleasure will be to urinate and defacate on this miserable khazar bitch's grave. She and her khazar cronies were always in the forefront against segregation of the races.

The only reason the NP did not wipe her out, is I beleive ou Pik smaaked Helen after a couple of dops. She was renown for flashing her boobs at political after parties. She meant well but fuck so did i when I did not shoot an unarmed terrorist in 1980. RIP you fucking bitch.

These endless conspiracy theories about some evil behind the scenes forces responsible for YOUR (the relevant groups) misfortunes is tiring and not to the benefit of fighting the real culprits, the socialists and their liberal apologists.

It is their thinking that is skewed wrong, so wrong that their stupidity is so incomprehensible to us that many of us down to earth, realistic and conservative people start to drift to the opinion that there must be some alternative reason for their bad judgement.

Please stop it, it is not constructive in this historical fight, it only weakens our side.

Here is a little proof, taken from Wikipedia about the Khazars and their possible influence on jewish population:

"Modern DNA studies on the Y chromosome of Jews worldwide have largely disproven the Khazar origin theory for the vast majority of Jews, including the Ashkenazi.

A 1999 study by Hammer et al, published in the Proceedings of the United States National Academy of Sciences compared the Y chromosomes of Ashkenazi, Roman, North African, Kurdish, Near Eastern, Yemenite, and Ethiopian Jews with 16 non-Jewish groups from similar geographic locations. It found that "Despite their long-term residence in different countries and isolation from one another, most Jewish populations were not significantly different from one another at the genetic level... The results support the hypothesis that the paternal gene pools of Jewish communities from Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East descended from a common Middle Eastern ancestral population, and suggest that most Jewish communities have remained relatively isolated from neighboring non-Jewish communities during and after the Diaspora."[44] According to Nicholas Wade "The results accord with Jewish history and tradition and refute theories like those holding that Jewish communities consist mostly of converts from other faiths, or that they are descended from the Khazars, a medieval Turkish tribe that adopted Judaism."[45]"

Wakopedia is khazar owned and run by the khazar jews and the cracks are showing in the DNA theories. The khazars are using the DNA "theories" to claim their validity, but history proves otherwise.

Leifur, I totally agree with you.
