Nelson Mandela Has Died: Obama Addresses The Nation - Live Feed
After struggling for many months, Nelson Mandela has passed away at age 95. Leaders from South Africa's Zuma, New Zealand's Key, UK's Cameron, and now President Obama seemed to be ready with prepared statements and Obama is due to address the nation at 1720ET to mourn the "inspirational leader, remarkable man."
- *ZUMA SAY MAY MANDELA'S SOUL `REST IN PEACE'
- *KEY SAYS MANDELA ``INSPIRATIONAL LEADER, REMARKABLE MAN''
- *U.K.'S CAMERON: DOWNING ST TO FLY FLAG AT HALF MAST FOR MANDELA
By way of interest, here is the handwritten note committing Mandela to prison...

Wonder how many times he will say "I".
Free Mandela, RIP you spirit of the ages.
Mandela headed the terrorist wing of SA Communist Party. He pleaded guilty to 156 acts of violence -bombing campaigns.
X, good luck getting anyone to actually read a history book about this vile man. I've excerpted a small piece of his past in my fresh perspective on the death of this Marxist terrorist at:
Another Communist Terrorist Leader Dies: Nelson Mandela, A.M.F.
"The Goods" indeed.
Here comes wall to wall coverage..in the US? What the fuck?
I didn't know the Neil Young album Zuma was sill alive.
Out of respect for who or what I don't know nor care about, I'm not going to say anything more for fear it will be taken as racist.
I'll say it.
SA unemployment up, also rape, murder, racism, illiteracy, xenophobic riots & corruption.
GDP down, also Rand, SA stock market & life expectancy & womens' rights.
Makes Mandela a hero only to delusional, lying Leftists.
Own it.
Bush Sr's fault.
You know what this means...CONFISCATE GUNS AND RAISE TAXES!
You forgot to ban tyres ... necklacing was perhaps more fatal in the early years of the reform than uncontrolled guns.
"if i had an inspirational leader, he might look like nelson mandela"
deleted
Aye, the "Winnie Mandela Special".
OT: Some weird "Sheeplefaith" somehow kept the country together while he was around. Expect a resort to type (tribal African style, cue Zimbabwe) now that the glue holding the rainbow together is pushing up daisies. Not that the usual nepotistic corruption isn't already rife there amongst a minority (black) elite.
In any event, he didn't build that ... there would be no Mandela without Big O having shown the world the way a member of an oppressed class could rise to the pinnacle of power.
My education via ZH continues. Up until this minute I believed Mandela was a great man....just because.
@ Meat Hammer:
The comments on threads like this, keep me reading ZH. The fact that so many readers/commenters have an understanding of REAL history is a source of hope.
@ Tyler, et alia:
ZH ought to seriously consider adopting a "Free Speech Zone" policy, as opposed to its current "anti-racism" policy. As a would-be 'beacon of truth', it should be obvious that the inability to criticize the actions of certain individuals, groups of people, races, cultures, religions, public personalities, or other, is tantamount to censorship, and as such, has no place in the arena of fair and open debate.
Seconded. "Racist" is the "heretic" of the Cultural Marxist Religion.
They should embalm him like his economic soul bro, Lenin.
FORWARD SOVIET!
DELETE
FORWARD SOVIET!
Admitting that much proves you are one to those that care to believe such nonsense.
Au contraire, old boy.
Nelson & Cie. are figments of progressive illusions... foolishness .... feel good versus reality....
I don't believe a damned thing anymore, other than everybody has their very own special rabbit hole and most of 'em ain't real and don't square with mine.
Just checking in for racist comment count...carry on
Racist or narcissist?
"I'm not a saint, unless your definition of a saint is a sinner who keeps on trying."
http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/12/05/WH-Obama-photo
I don't see Mandela in the WH photo...at all.
Mandela ruined a perfectly good, though imperfect country. I don't give a shit if he is alive or dead.
Guess I'm just another "racist", huh? I guess anybody who doesn't suck Mandela - or Obama's dick is a racist as far as people like you are concerned.
"Perfectly good, though imperfect" ???? Really??? Yes, you are another racist. What should he have done? Accepted Apartheid? You big men on this site talk about fighting the government over taxes, but fighting Apartheid is wrong? If you are not allowed to vote, exactly how do you affect change?
Yes you are a racist piece of shit, and probably a moron to boot.
blah blah racist blah blah blah racists blah blah
You do know the term racism was coined by Leon Trotsky. You must know that, right, komrade?
...And this is the way you tolerate diversity in thought? Thank you comerade for the object lesson. Now leave my country!!! Oh and one question, do you have any friends who are of color?
Perfectly good for a small white oppressing minority.
"good luck getting anyone to actually read a history book about this vile man"
It's how the history books wrote about him and political correctness. Leave out the details and kids soak up BS.
Just like Ben Bernanke polluted the brains of the economics majors at Princeton when taught there. Future money printers.
When the patriots at Lexington and Concord ambushed the Red Coats, I am sure the British thought they were terrorists. John G. would love living under an Apartheid system as an oppressed individual given his love of law and order, but the rest of us freedom loving individuals on Zero Hedge would be fire-bombing the oppressors to death.
The Apartheid regime had no more legitimacy than the Nazis. Nelsom Mandela is a towering figure in 20th history and any person that understands the oppression he fought so valiently and noblely would not comment in such an absurd way.
Would you have objected if he had been allied with Der Third Reich? Would that have stained his moral character?
He was fighting for equal rights for his people, in their own land, the shit. I am sure you wouldn't do that. If you were in his shoes you would have ... what?
I wasn't around back then. I'm not saying I'm any different, just that he wasn't a Gandhi.
Yup shorts, aligning oneself with a government like the USSR or Romania where citizens were executed for just speaking out sure says a lot about one's character.
Come to think of it, actually JOINING the Communist Party says more, eh comrade?
He was fighting (with communist/Jewish help, ever hear of Joe Slovo?) for black ascendancy over the white-created civilization of South Africa. He succeeded. Now thousands of white SA farmers are being massacred.
Wake up and smell the coffee.
"Kill the [White] Boer! Kill the [White] farmer!"
The Murder of White Farmers in South Africa
"'One [White] Settler, one bullet' is one of the quotes from ANC leaders."
"So far [July 2012], since the African National Congress [ANC] took power in South Africa, an estimated 1,554 white farmers and an estimated 20,000 white South Africans in total have been horrifically murdered. He told us it is estimated because no 'official statistics' exist and they and the farmers have had to put together the figures themselves."
"In 1980 there were 80,000 white farmers in South Africa and now there are only 30,000 left, feeding a population of 50 million."
Fucking Right.
Anybody tells me, in my country of birth, that I have less rights because I am racially inferior? Fuck that. Can't vote, sorry, but please don't do anything because you will fuck up the country for the whites...seriously?
I think about a third of the people who comment here are insane.
My wife's family came from SA, ran from actually. Her father and uncle were in military wing and if you read about the terrorism you will find that it involved blowing up infrastructure. Her father even removed a bomb he put in a power station when they found out it wasn't empty and had a night watchman.
Hello? Trolls??
Didn't his wife actually burn people malive or something?
Fuck me, strange old planet.
Stalin should be remembered as a cultural hero I guess.
ZP, from what a parent told me, the new Common Core curriculum portrays Lenin in the same light as our founders.
If I get a whiff of CC in my kids private school, he's gonna be taught by people down by the river.

Maybe the Chinese would like to buy IL, since they'll just take CA in lieu of interest. Go east, comrades, go east, to New England and quick.
No kidding! He got 60% of the vote when he ran for President in 1994. If he had just run for President in 1960 he could have avoided prison, the bombings, the Sharpeville Massacre would never have happened....
In 1960 Madela running for president was as legal and probable as a Jew running for Reich Chancellor in 1936. Please read a little history.
His wife,Winnie was known for garlanding the ANC's opponents with 'necklaces' made of old tires filled with gasoline ,hung around the 'oppositions' necks and set on fire...
Really fine people.
All hail,etc.
Just another chewbaca.
Great opportunity for the POTUS to remind what a bunch of assholes white people were. Maybe he can mention Trayvon in his address.
If Obama had a penis it would look like Nelson Mandela, right now, in the morgue.
Mandela, one of the original mass-market progressive causes. He's dead. Who cares?
I hope his wife's ability to rape and burn political enemies alive will not be impeded?
God Bless S Africa, and it's average 75 IQ; here's to the Chinese and hoping they can supplant and subsume those noble savages.
Indeed. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Nelson Mandela or...
Joe Slovo and Ronnie Kasrils
Who was really running that whole ANC shit show?
Nelson Mandela
Nelson and Joe in earlier days...pic
He didn't waste anytime with this publicity stunt.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
Except this isn't really a crisis. A sad day for some but he was 95 for God's sake.
They should mummify him and roll him in next to Stalin.
That way they'll have two communist gods to pray to, a black one and a white one.
If they had thought about it they could have rolled a mummified Mao in next to Stalin first and now with Mandela we can have communist manifesto tripartite.
To think about it we could replace the heads of four white dead presidents on Mt. Rushmore with the likenesses of Stalin, Mao, Mandela, and Obama.
Commies don't give a fuck about diversity.
Leon Trotsky and Charles Malato beg to differ with you. Here's a couple to get you started.

Never let a distraction go to waste. There, fixed it for you.
I see a $400 million potus trip to SA next week...just in time for Kwanzaa. ...timing is fantastic

btw RIP Mandella
> Wonder how many times he will say "I".
It doesn't matter. Whatever he says, he's lying.
I don't care what it is. It's a lie.
I don't give two furry shits about that cunt. Either one of em. In fact I'll have a drink to celebrate.
Come on, You gotta listen...What if we find out that Nelson left his son Barry all of S. Africa in his last Will and Testament.
Willy Nelson leaves South Africa to Barry Sweato!
Booyah!
Then he'll hold title to Kenya AND SA
O'bomb-a wants to do for America what Mandela did for South Africa.
And he's fuckin late! As usual.
Tire necklaces for everyone!
I am not a fan of communists. But I just do not want to put up with all of this crap for the next week.
The next week?
We got what, 13 more quarters of this shit or sumptin' like that?
Bullish for tires!!!
Pray for white south africans, the genocide will begin in earnest now.
"Stacking, packing and racking" is probably in their daily prayers.
If they had any sense they would've left years ago.
I was in cape town a few months ago, for the first time in a decade. Private security, armed patrols, razor wire, panic rooms in even modest homes. It is a prison of fear. Whites fear blacks ( including government employed ones) and blacks fear or dislike blacks from other tribes. Whites and blacks fear tribal violence erupting-mandellas aura of saintliness stems from his ability to paciftfy tribal tension. Zuma is a thug, a full on Zimbabwe meltdown is now on the cards. Let's hope Winnie mandella is an early casualty.
This is a pretty good documentary:

Good! Fuck em' all!
Good as far as good goes. But no saint - remember that this man was a redistributionist authoritarian socialist most of his life.
He lived in darkness until the late 80's you knuckle head.
Thou shalt not take the Knuks name in vain, dude!
Barry pulled the plug to divert attention away from ACA! Shhhhhhh, you didn't hear it here.
I bet that's a funeral our fearless leader doesn't miss. I wonder if he'll take his uncle with him. The one he doesn't know but lived with.

Obama has no business going there. Which means he'll be there! With his family and their posse.
Maybe they can fly in the dog on Air Force III.
As you know, the wookie doesn't like competition.
ya, the wookie, he don't like no competition!
They'll have a Mandel-A-Thon on BET 24/7/365 hosted by Barry
(Competition for the Wookie... that's just wrong. But really funny)
Sorry to hear that.
Even more sorry that Greedscam, Kissinger, and Murdock are still alive and kicking. There is no justice, NO God.
not to mention cheney
Go Fuck Yourself!
-Cheney's tombstone
Thanks much that's a good laugh. I want that on my stone
No doubt Barry will be late for this too. After all, it's not about him.
A great man. A great leader.
Those are very, VERY hard to find.
And Dick Cheney along with Henry Kissinger still breathe air. Life really isn't fair.
take note of the fact that for your justifiable characterization of mandela you have received a red arrow while assholes near the top of this post showing how unfortunatlley Zh has no shortage of red neck racist mother fuckers trolling the site got more than a few fans....
u hate obama...cool i with that...but mandela????
go fuck urselfs.......
Mandela was a racist, statist, authoritarian fascist who resorted to terrorism in an attempt to attain his goals. Other than that, he was a great man. He did manage to turn South Africa into a major third world shithole for whitey as well as the blacks, and pave the way for genocide. A fine accomplishment by any measure.
Uh.....please, not to point out obvious to full retard.
Come on all great leaders fuck any thing with a skirt
Not Wookies
even JFK and LBJ would draw the line there, FGS
"He did manage to turn South Africa into a major third world shithole for whitey as well as the blacks."
yeah, not like the great job whitey has done with the great o'le US of A...
you mother fuckers r hilarious...hey asshole, if u r here ur living in a third wolrd fucking nation....
junk away morons......
I know I'm going to branded as rayciss here, but, fuck it. Name one country on this planet that is run by blacks that isn't a third world shithole. And don't give me that shit about western exploitation. The west exploited most of east Asia, yet countries like Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc. are peaceful and wealthy (not that I would want to live there).
its only rayciss if its against the juice.........just dont tell thisson, he'll have a fuckin cow
"The west exploited most of east Asia, yet countries like Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc are peaceful and wealthy..."
now thats yet again a glaring example of your superior intellect, i mean imbecility...
Japan a peaceful nation - yeah after being tricked into attacking pearl habor and oh yeah, theres that slaughter of Nanking massacre thing where hundreds of thousands of Chinese were murdered i almost forgot to mention...and wealthy???? i guess thats how u define a country with 1 quadrillion in sovereign debt thats been in an inescapable economic malaise for fucking 30 years running...
Hong Kong...yeah former colony of whiteys european racist kissing cousins, who had to give it up cause the Chinese r running shit right fucking now...Who is the US's largest creditor, the largest exporter and manfacturer, soon to be the largest economy period, and soon to have all the fucking Gold and the reserve fucking gold backed currency???
it not like you mother fuckers didnt try to perpetually fuck'em over and rule them...they just outsmarted uncle Sam and all u walmart, cheap tv buying mother fuckers...but hey, lets get along and just count down to the next major, former industrial powerhouse of a city like Detroit to file for bankruptcy while u assholes trash mandela in your 3rd world banana fucking republic.....
Holy crap, you are stupid. This kind of shit isn't happening anywhere in the Orient, or in North America either.

Why don't you refute the links I posted? Tell us all how it's faked, and how if it were real, the MSM would certainly be covering it.
BTW, Genocide Watch has SA and Zimbabwe at stage 6. But that's OK, 'cause whites don't belong in Africa, right? But blacks belong in Europe, right? Fuckin' hypocrites. BTW, you never did name a country run by blacks that isn't a shithole.

R.I.P. - at 95 a blessing to pass on considering the opportunists that hounded him in his last days.
Obama has absolutely nothing in common with him but will do his best to glom on and take advantage.
Your first sentence indicates you read a human interest piece about Mandela's troubles with grifters in his old age put out by one of the countless mainstream outlets whose job it was to fawn over him. Or maybe you watched a tv episode where a bunch of white people from Hollywood went to his house and landscaped it, and are equating that with opportunism that should have put him in the grave even sooner than he went.
Your second sentence is even worse. To say that Obama has nothing in common with Mandela is just absurd. Obama is and Mandela was, Communist revolutionaries who came to power only as a result of Soviet efforts. In this they have in common what every Communist leader of every country in the world has. There would be no Mandela without Moscow, No Obama without Moscow, no Castro, Kim, or Mao, without Moscow.

F.W. De Clerk is who really should be honored. He held power, had a nuclear arsenal and could have defied the world for as long as white South Africans wanted. He GAVE Mandela power as Mandela was in no position to seize it.
I believe you are correct. It's my understanding that South Africa more or less went to shit when the darkies took over. It's also my understanding that there was a popular referendum to *bring back apartheid* because the darkie government was/is so corrupt and abysmal.
is Obama a "darkie"?

this De Clerk sounds like some kinda moron.
just sayin'
As long as I live I will never understand why virtually every world "leader" has spent years worshipping Mandela as though he was some sort of God.
He wasn't. As our very own "JR" reminded us back on 4th August, Mandela was a revolutionary communist with direct connection to Jewish terrorists and black supremacist.
Mandela may have become a decent bloke in his later years, but his political ideology was diametrically opposed to many whites.
Mandela only became a good guy after the MSM turned him into one.
Where would Obama be now with out a slavish press ready to extoll his never ending attributes.
That's right, exactly where he is now, found out for the marxist narcissistic pathological lair that he is.
Only one red down tic?
Come on you leftist Obunga scrotum sucking, the real Tea Baggers, can do better than that.
Money
Nelson Mandela was… well, a communist and a terrorist.
Mandela was a member of the South African Communist Party. He co-founded Umkhonto we Sizwe, a terrorist organization that killed civilians, including children. Fast food outlets and supermarkets were favored targets. In addition to terrorist bombings, the military wing of the African National Congress tortured and executedsuspected government agents.
Post-apartheid South Africa is ruled by the ANC and the South African Communist Party. The ruling ANC defines itself as a “disciplined force of the left.”
Listening to Obama, however, you wouldn’t know that Nelson Mandela is a former communist and terrorist. He has compared the aging terrorist to George Washington.
“Mandela shows what was possible when a priority is placed on human dignity, respect for law, that all people are treated equally,” Obama said on his trip to South Africa.
“And what Nelson Mandela also stood for is that the well-being of the country is more important than the interests of any one person,” Obama continued. “George Washington is admired because after two terms he said enough, I’m going back to being a citizen. There were no term limits, but he said I’m a citizen. I served my time. And it’s time for the next person, because that’s what democracy is about. And Mandela similarly was able to recognize that, despite how revered he was, that part of this transition process was greater than one person.”
Obama does what he is told. He reads from a script. It doesn’t matter if he personally prefers communism or the brand of socialism so-called conservatives accuse him of subscribing to. Obama’s political opinions are irrelevant.
Obama’s globalist handlers like socialism – a kinder and gentler word for communism – because it is an effective tool for controlling the masses. Globalist kingpin David Rockefeller said as much when he praised Mao and Chinese communism, a political machine responsible for killing more humans than both Hitler and Stalin.
“Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution, it has obviously succeeded, not only in producing a more efficient and dedicated administration but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose,” Rockefeller said on the pages of the New York Times in 1973. “The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao’s leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history.”
Rockefeller was also fond of the Soviets and their thugocracy established by Wall Street. “My congratulations on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the October Revolution,” he told the Kremlin in 1977.
Solzhenitsyn and others put the death toll in the Soviet Union between 1917 and 1987 at over 60 million.
Naturally, ABC and the rest of the Mockingbird corporatized media didn’t bother to mention Mandela’s terrorist and communist past. It did not mention the ANC’s habit of necklacing its enemies back in the day, a practice enthusiastically endorsed by Nelson Mandela’s wife, Winnie Mandela.
Necklacing was the practice of putting a tire filled with gasoline around the neck of accused collaborators and enemies of the ANC. After ignited, it often took more than 20 minutes for the necklace to kill its victim.
Just learned a crash course on Mandela that I wish I hadn't known about. But in what's for dinner with the "people of the United States" soon to be on the menu, and in context to what you already quoted from Rockefeller on China which I did know, why should I be surprised?
Damn!
P.S.
Just down arrowed myself for my previous post.
But let's be fair in remarking that his treatment at the hands of the South African Government was brutal and it didn't justify in any way his incarceration and treatment. On the other hand it doesn't justify what he did when he got out either.
Guess we know where "eye for an eye" comes from and who the best teachers and practioners of that are both Old and (unfortunaltely some) New Testament!?
Don't we all love the Zionist Rabbi giving the eulogy? Wonder if there was anybody in the selection committee for the tribute that would have allowed a True Torah Jew to give it?
george washington and all the other founding fathers were terrorists too...
so what if mandela toyed with being a communist when he was young? it's completely understandable given the times...
zerohedge comments section has become an interesting social study over the last couple years.
the amount of bigotry amongst posters is epic.
Wasn't Obunga one of the world leaders that didn't visit with Mandella when he fell ill? Not enough fund raising potential in that one I guess.

Of course Winnie liked necklacing too...
