Journal entry by Ernst Drejer

When three militants took hostages at two areas in and around Paris final week, the French government deployed its unique counterterrorism units, elite forces that have had significantly practical experience in a nation with a history of militant attacks. I made use of all the synonyms above mainly because they clearly describe our miserable, decrepit and wretched situation, given that our nation of Mzantsi is the richest in Africa, in so many strategies, and we are at the bottom of any end and each and every improvement and progress that is taking place in our nation, and we stand by the sidelines and watch other persons, who are not of our land, turn out to be much better, wealthy, educated, and prosperous.
That in the end we discover the neighborhood Africans living in squalor, poverty, sicknesses and ailments of all kinds, ignorance, confusion and tension, uncertainty and, in recent times, within an empty and hollow democracy- and being denied their humanity, democracy, culture customs, traditions, practices and ceremonies and simple human services and comfort this has led to today's Colonial Mental disorders that are now commonplace amongst the Africans of South Africa.
Of course we have extended been in the Concentration Camps and prisons of Apartheid functioning and operating like the aforementioned Stalag and Gulag meatgiinders and psyche-hospitals that have contributed immensely to our present state of being and existence of our African of South African people today.
By writing that we want to add to the present civilization, does not mean presenting our views as poor copycats of what we still are: colonized, and enslaved and imperialized Africans… As an alternative, some of us fight assiduously quite challenging to maintain the present and unequal status quo that we all are beneath forced labor and incarcerated by.
Integration propaganda as a result involves not just the usual state-sponsored suspects-political broadcasting, censorship,atrocity stories, and the manipulation of also more diffusely constellated organizations and institutions, such as marketing, public relations, and well-liked films, whose interactions proficiently reinforce official political propaganda devoid of necessarily setting out to do so. Ellul is clearly open to the charge that insofar as almost all the things counts as propaganda, he empties the category of meaning.
