Charismatic Terrorist Nelson Mandela dead at 95

While the world mourns the death of someone who was prosecuted and jailed  in South Africa, there’s a few items missing from the accolades in the obituary.  In perfunctory fashion, history will be revised to fit the narrative.

Items you won’t see:

He was a lifelong Communist.

Rather than improving the lot of South Africans, he left a legacy of murder and chaos.

Mandela began as a terrorist and never turned his back on monsters like Arafat and Castro, whom he considered brothers in arms. When he was released from prison by deKlerk, he showed unexpected statesmanship, counseling reconciliation rather than revenge, no small achievement in a country in which the “liberation” movement (led by Mandela’s wife and party) placed oil filled inner tubes around the necks of former comrades and set them on fire.

But if a leader should be judged by his works, the country Mandela left behind is an indictment of his political career, not an achievement worthy of praise – let alone the unhinged adoration he is currently receiving across the political spectrum.

South Africa today is the murder capital of the world, a nation where a woman is raped every 30 seconds, often by AIDs carriers who go unpunished, and where whites are anything but the citizens of a democratic country which honors the principles of equality and freedom.

Liberated South Africa is one of those epic messes the Left created and promptly forgot about.

Mandela was a leader in the terrorist group ANC (African National Congress), responsible for hundreds of murders and terrorist acts, including:

The infamous “necklacings,” in which attackers put a gasoline-soaked tire around the victim’s neck and then set it afire (a tactic often ascribed to Mandela’s wife, Winnie, and her followers), bombings of government and military installations, and the establishment of secret “re-education” camps in northern Angola, Tanzania, and Uganda where the ANC would torture those reluctant to go along with its program of violence.

History is dealt another rewrite, and the Left has another martyr.
