Spooks, Money, NGOs, Leon and Abramoff

Tony Leon uses the Goebbels principle. The bigger the lie, the longer it hangs around, he thinks. In his (linked) election speech he first pretends to be more ANC than the ANC, and then launches the big neo-liberal lie: “privatisation for the sake of the poor”. Alec Hogg’s Money web article on the Abramoff-SA connection only mentions Toney Leon’s brother and skirts round the whole question of the DA’s murky past (see yesterday’s CU dispatch). The way the game is played is well understood in Russia where British spooks have been arrested for stuffing NGOs full of spies and money. Likewise it seems that “Canadian groups” are up to the same tricks in SA, according to the Communication Workers’ Union. The last linked document is the YCL’s on free education at the “FET” level. That means a learning society, an idea dear to the heart of the Communist University.
