Mandela Fake "Interpreter" Is Schizophrenic Who Has Faced Rape, Theft And Murder Charges

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As the surreal facts and fictions surrounding Nelson Mandela's death grow (as hundreds breached security and flooded his coffin), the story of the "fake" interpreter goes from the sublime to the ridiculous. eNCA is reporting that Thamsanqa Jantjie - who stood mere feet away from the world's leaders (and waved his hands like a muppet) is being treated for schizophrenia, has also faced rape (1994), theft (1995), house-breaking (1997), malicious damage to property (1998), murder, attempted murder and kidnapping (2003) charges. Many of the charges brought against him were dropped, allegedly because he was mentally unfit to stand trial.  

Via eNCA,

The man now known by many as the ‘fake interpreter’, stood just a foot away from world leaders, including US President Barack Obama, who is one of the most heavily protected men on the planet.

 

...faced a murder charge in 2003.

 

...It’s unknown if the case was ever concluded as the court file is mysteriously empty.

 

eNCA's investigations have found that Thamsanqa Jantjie, who is being treated for schizophrenia, has also faced rape (1994), theft (1995), housebreaking (1997), malicious damage to property (1998), murder, attempted murder and kidnapping (2003) charges. 

 

Many of the charges brought against him were dropped, allegedly because he was mentally unfit to stand trial.

 

Jantjie was acquitted on the rape charge, but he was convicted of theft for which he was sentenced to three years in prison. It’s unclear if he ever spent time in jail.

...

During the memorial, it emerged on social media networks that Jantjie wasn’t a properly qualified sign language interpreter and that his signing during that historic event didn’t make any sense.

The story went global and Jantjie was portrayed as a joke.

But this story took a serious turn when eNCA established he was mentally ill.

Jantjie admitted that he was heavily medicated for schizophrenia and has spent time at the Sterkfontein Psychiatric Hospital.

 

But apart from that... we are sure his mom says he is really good boy...

No wonder Obama and his security detail did not flinch, it probably felt like just another day in Washington D.C.

That's because this man's presence on stage was pure messaging to let the president know that he can be gotten to if the right people want it to happen.

I don't believe a word of it.  Show me Jantjie's birth certificate.

Anyway, it seems to me this is a better way for him to make a living them housebreaking, he seems positively rehabilitated to me and should stand for elective office, or maybe be given a big raise and made official sign language interpreter for the UN.

Oh yeah, and get an hour long show on MSNBC.

You just cannot make this shit up. I had the giggles all day thinking about it then sobered up. If you want conclusive proof that we live in a global idiocracy, look no further. WTF. This cannot just happen by accident. It takes consistent ineptitude,  lack of situational awareness,  laziness and gross negligence at all levels of bureaucracy in SA and all of the visiting countries to hire a clinically insane criminal with a history of violence to work as a sign interpreter for the so-called world leaders. It takes real effort to be this dumb.

Last week I wrote, 

 "The bad news is they are taking over everywhere,  and when morons run the planet outright,  things will have a tendency to break down a lot.  That's almost where we are today. "

I think we're there.

Jesus on a goddamn unicycle. Everything, I mean bloody everything associated with Obama is fraudulent. Do people really thing this guy is a constitutional lawyer? The son of a Kenyan goatherder? Straight?

 

This asswipe is fraud after fraud after fraud. The biggest goddamn con job ever sold to the American people, eclipsed maybe only by the Fed. The above ZH poster above was right: TV made Obama and keeps him in power. Starve the beast.

I misread the title as the guy had "Face Raped"  charges against him which I thought was an awesome charge.  I'm a little disappointed that he only faced rape charges now.

A lot of folks on ZH ascribe too much credit to TPTB in their abiltiy to 'control' things. If these ass-clowns can't keep a psycho murderer away from all of the world leaders, how much do you think they actually can control things? Once the SHTF all bets are off. It's not possible to foresee how this will all play out.

Hedge accordingly...

Which is worse, a fake interpreter or a fake police department? The Los Angeles coroner has just ruled that persons unknown in a car gunned down Ronni Chasen in 2010, a drive-by killing that is the hallmark of contract killers, usually members of organized crime (refer to the drive by murder of Gus Boulis in Ft. Lauderdale on 8 Feb 2001, the killers paid with checks totalling $250,000 signed by Bush fundraiser Jack Abramoff, busy covering up the $26 million fraudulent wire transfer used to buy Boulis' SunCruz Casino gambling business).  The LAPD closed the Chasen case blaming an ex-con on a bicycle who supposed peddled up to her car and shot her, using a gun that it now appears the LAPD planted on him after cops killed him in a staged incident.  A gun linked to the Chasen killing.  This is the same LAPD that said reporter Michael Hastings' death was a traffic accident, ignoring the explosives that blew the engine of Hastings' Mercedes 40 feet from the car and who immediately covered up the trunk of the burnt car with a tarp, for reasons only the LAPD knows.  Makes you wonder about actor Paul Walker's death. 

----

An autopsy report released Thursday by the Los Angeles County coroner's office is raising new questions about the shooting death of veteran Hollywood publicist Ronni Chasen. Chasen was found shot multiple times in her Mercedes coupe on a Beverly Hills street in November 2010. A year later, the Beverly Hills Police Department formally concluded that Chasen's shooting death was the result of a botched robbery by Harold Martin Smith, a small time ex-convict who had grown desperate for money. Police said Smith approached Chasen's car on his bike at a stopped traffic light at Sunset Boulevard and Whittier Drive and tried to rob her. But a section of the autopsy report released Thursday titled "Informant/Witness Statements" contradicts that conclusion. The report states that while Chasen was stopped at a red light at the intersection, "an unknown vehicle pulled up and someone fired approximately four gunshots into her vehicle." The killing shocked Hollywood's elite and prompted an outpouring of grief and tributes from friends and colleagues. The autopsy report could reignite conspiracy theories that swirled after her death, particularly among friends who never accepted the official police account. Smith fatally shot himself in Hollywood before police could bring him in for questioning. A spokesman for the Beverly Hills Police Department could not be immediately reached for comment Thursday. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-ronni-chasen-autopsy-report-...

"Americans Give Up, Elect Racist Negro Thug Twice."

(AP)

Americans gave up in 2008, it appears. We visited Marge's Grill in Flyover Country today and here is our report.

Frank Bonefish, like many here in Middle America, gave a resigned shrug. "I mean, we're so low, as a nation, there was just no other choice than Bath House Barry. The fact he's also into guys is a plus. If we can't bottom out with him, I think we should run a Circus Geek in 2014 and at least we'll get to see someone biting off the heads of live chickens. I mean, everything Bath House says is a lie, and it gets tiring having to reverse each statement."
"I get dizzy, too, watching his head swivel around those prompter thingies," said Marge, the Grill's owner. I think a Geek would add more class to the office, too."

The other diners at Marge's Grill nodded in agreement.

"We could elect a drug-addicted stripper, but I heard they already did that in Italy," said another diner, Joe Bushwack. "I think a Geek would also be an improvement over the current Tool."

And the only reason he was caught was because hearing impaired people complained afterwards. Just think how many others of a similar description haven't been caught yet.
