‘The propensity to regurgitate politically correct nonsense is spectacular. No one queried the obvious absurdity of 2017’s budget speech, which allocates 30% of the GDP, repeating the myth that 10% of the population have 90% of the wealth. A tenacious media mantra is that the “bread cartel” colluded to raise the price of bread, whereas it was found guilty of charging so little that competitors could not compete”.
Global media regurgitate absurd “inequality” claims, notably by Oxfam, Thomas Piketty and others. The Oxfam scam to the effect that the world’s richest eight white men have more wealth than the poorest 50% is never queried despite its manifest absurdity. It is clear from readily available facts they not only have less than 1% of global GDP, but less than the value of annual peanut consumption.
Randy, unlike Roodt, warns adversaries he is a hoaxer. They can avoid his “Project Alpha” trap by avoiding claptrap. Media be warned, Garland might be gone, but Garland II might be preparing the next hoax. Be prepared for proud Randy instead of shamed Roodt’.

After Koenderman’s memorial another legendary journalist, Denis Beckett, reminisced about Koenderman’s dream of journalistic integrity. During the 1970s, Koenderman said he wondered whether it was possible for journalists to be completely objective and accurate. “Readers do not want my views,” he said. “They want facts.” Beckett thinks readers want facts as well as journalistic commentary.
The problem for Koenderman, Randy and Garland is the extent to which the media repeats myths and mantras uncritically. Pillay and Huffington apologised for publishing a white man’s nonsense without condemning nonsense per se. Another example of pseudo-intellectual drivel is Mohammad Anwar’s article in various publications that perpetuates the meme that whites still have “the lion’s share” of everything.
Uncritical editors ignore that he contradicts himself by asserting both progress and that the “skewed distribution of wealth … got worse” after 1994. He regurgitates the myth that “more than 80% of the land was in [white] hands” and remains virtually so. If a white man said a democratic mainly black government is worse for its voters than the apartheid crime against humanity, and that black individuals derive no benefit from their emancipation, hell would be unleashed.
