Why blame FA?
Black8Shadow
I noticed this comment in one News Paper I currently enjoy reading.
Posted by Ms Engels, thanks for bringing this up!
"I often lean toward the right on some issues and am sympathetic toward what FA tries to stand for. It just frustrates me that nothing seems to get done and the best talent and ideas serving the nation comes from other ( non-FA ) sectors.
Still, they run one heck of a show come campaign time, and the numbers they pull are astounding for our small nation. My hat is off to their campaign team and I bet you can expect bright futures in the private sector should you be so inclined!"
These thoughts have crossed my mind too, why does nothing get done, my views are:
Free Africa is trying to be too nice, creating a Government in which everybody has a role to play even though I like this idea also, but with our time constraints between Presidential Elections this causes a major problem in that there is simply no time for making everybody happy also to many Ministers wanting a title in little SA. Also take into consideration our running of the country has been short basically only 3 -4 months, think about all the ZAR we lost to the Theocrats because of our poor intelligence service and slow actions to the treat, and think what we could have done with that money. Why did Government lose that money and who got into trouble, nobody. All the most important Ministries are run by non FA members and their cronies, now think again about your question Ms Engels and the reason for nothing getting done - are some of your friends, not Free Africa.
I have some questions and demands, as a Citizen.
1.Can the citizens get a statement that list the governments income and expenditure every month after all this is our money and I for one would like to know what it gets spend on. I am sure more people would also like to know what happens to their money.
2.Organisations that have been formed with SA money and maintained with our money what do they buy and can we have a progress report from these Ministers that get given money every month, also a list that show us what they have bought with this money and don’t tell us, its a secret and its best we don’t know, that’s not going to cut it. These people get some times more than 20 gold per month that’s outrageous we can’t afford that sort of spending!
3.Once the Ministers get replace will they give up their organisations to the new ones or do we loss them and all the investment into what ever it is that they buy. Or do they simply throw a tantrum and get to keep their organisation and continue as if the instruction is not legitimate because its seems thats what would happen.
4.It seems like every month the usual beggars line up and get their money and off they go and then return only to ask more money later. Sounds very much like Africa to me people, however this is eSA and we don’t get UN donations or US Aid food here.
5.The Reserve Bank of South Africa fulfils a very good role, low cost loans and our money is safe there, to an extent with its current chief in charge, however what happens if Mr Vellos dies tomorrow in the eWorld or he is unable to play for a extended period of time, what happens, there was talk, but what plan did you come up with Government? Even though I trust the man with our money does the Government have a contract with him that can be enforced via the admins, can we see it?
6.We see nice financial news, comments and speculation in relation to the current financial position we find ourselves in by the RBSA, which I like and I believe it to be of some value, however were does the RBSA show us its financial statements. Look it does not have to be every month but let’s make it every 3 at lease show us what you have done with our money. Money just goes in where does it come out again to help our citizens? If you want to be the guardian of eSA money you should at lease report on what’s being done with it. Disclose the expenditure and be transparent. There is no need for secrets here. Have the bank ever been audited?
7.Why is money being spent on a Military that would never be able to defend us properly, we don’t have the ability to do that if war comes, hell we all have to fight and we all will probably with the right coordination. I have a feeling that some Government funds are being used to fund private citizen’s advancement in the game and that we the citizens of eSA will never have the benefit of the funds dished out to these individuals.
8.Were is our national health system we give money away to “projects” but we don’t help our citizens to have an acceptable level of wellness. This has major impact on productivity our GDP. Should we ever be attack our citizens will be useless in a battle maybe 2 fights then can’t heal because only Guateng has a hospital what about the people in the other regions? Do something! Stop the blah blab blah!
9.Then regarding the Indo’s they don’t want more land they got what they wanted secured access to South America. We should approach these people in different light stop thinking about attacking them. Nobody is going to come help us they don’t have the funds and have their own problems to deal with. The Atlantis Alliance got their butts kick by Peace, these people are active and they fight with intelligence (PEACE). The best military leaders in eUS made critical mistakes during the war in France, simply because it becomes impossible to control so many people and they ended up with over fights. Thus could not defend when the Indo’s got onto the offensive. The Indo’s coordination skill in battle was surgical in this regard. If you think we can take on Peace you’re out of your mind and if you say to me that the US and Canada is going to come and “help” us, I’d say you have lost your marbles completely. They would only be able to defend their own borders on their territory successfully. Plus the cost of such a war who is going to pay? We are battling just to try and get a defence system purchased, because we simply don’t have the money, because we waste too much money!
10.During recent discussions with Government I have become aware of the enormous bureaucracy within our Government and Ms Engels this does not stem from any FA members. You may think that the FA members are weak and not talented and have no ideas however your own next statement contradicts you totally “Still, they run one heck of a show; I bet you can expect bright futures in the private sector should you be so inclined”
Let me tell you we (FA) are full of ideas and very willing and very able to turn this country around from its current going no where situation not created by us. I urge our leaders STOP being nice forget this unity business, in fact it’s driving us apart. If FA wins the next election let FA people run the show I’ll guaranty you more action. This way of talk talk talk and nothing happens frankly it sux and drains a person to the extant that you feel there is no hope and you’re being grinded to a stop, so that you move out of the way and the preferred people get their way which will only line the pockets of their cronies. This is everybodies game and those people that hold power currently, your days are number your club/gang of elite preferred people system will not succeed in the long run. We the people will bring it to it’s knees by our votes. If we all stop being stupid and lazy and start doing, we would have what we need and want.
If you prove your loyalty and your views and your actions is positive for SA’s future you will have a place in Free Africa’s future. Those people I requested to step down from running in the Congress elections so that you may first become more involved in the Free Africa forum good for you, you showed that your goals are long term and if you take part in the forum and say your say, come up with plans and solutions YOU are our future!
Again I demand a Government that starts to help their citizens really and I mean really stop talking about what you want to do and do it!
I demand Transparency, stop giving money to our “military” for a few months and we could have a defence system. If these people are serious about defending eSA let them go and build their skill like I did at my own cost, I think I achieved a lot in a very short time ask Kiwifire we even had a race to see who gets to Lt first – the SA Army did not help me nor would they. Why, I am not their pal. In fact they shot down the ideas about going to fight in wars at first, saying that military skill (which you get from training) determines your damage done in battle, not realizing that RANK actually causes more damage which is what we were tying to tell them at the time. Now there is suddenly a push for them to go a fight and get their rank. I don’t like that they, in my view would not know how to defend our nation and the fact that they pretend too. They don’t understand how defence systems work and what to do if you are attacked or how to prevent it, not that anybody would come and attack us. My point with the current military is we are wasting money on it rather go and have a civil conversation with the Indo’s, explaining our views at lease they would see we are not idiots believing we can successfully attack them. Has anybody gone to talk to them what’s the news for your Citizens what happened?
The Indio’s are in fact indirectly defending us from any attacks by other nations someone wrote an exhalent article some time ago expressing these same views which is very true.
Stop talking about nationalization, because you will not have time to run these companies effectively leave it up to our citizens and assist local business by subsidizing them if they disappoint stop funding, but stop talking and start doing something and make it easy. This is a game, don’t make things impossible with bureaucracy keep it simple and stupid it works the best.
I urge our FA members to get involved in the forum lets become more organised lets be the force that changes things lets do it with care and in the best interest of our Country lets Free ourselves first and make Government work for us, we have the right!
YOU HAVE THE POWER IF YOU FREE YOUR MIND AND THINK WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON WHO IS REALLY RUNNING THE COUNTRY AND WHY DO WE LET THEM WHEN THEY DO NOT DO ENOUGH FOR US. FREE AFRICA’S BIGGEST MISTAKE IS TRYING TO BE NICE WHEN WE HANDOUT POSITIONS TO OUR OPPOSITION AND THEN THEY BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS THEM AND TURNS THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES MR VOTER BY CLIAMING THINGS ARE NOT HAPPENING WHEN THEY INFACT ARE THE MOJORITY IN GOVERNMENT WITH THE MOST POWERFUL POSITIONS AND ARE THE ONES THAT SHOULD MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
Here is the most recent list of Ministers in SA.
Deputy President - Jizzy Mcquire BLF
Minister of Finance - Hireshmont Vellos BLF
Minister of Safety and Security – Black8Shadow FA
Minister of Minerals and Energy - Balon Swann FA
Minister of Intelligence - Kiwifire (Did not accept) Ryan Dagari I don’t know which party anymore
Minister of Education – Davewa FA
Minister of Foreign Affairs - Taylor Ressurected (Is fired as of today I have asked Browski if he would accept the post) Taylor was BLF then FA; Browski FA
Minister of Defense - Brendan E Austerion BLF
Minister of Social Affairs – Rico Suave BLF
Minister of Justice and Constitutional Development – Bazti FA
This structure needs to change to a more efficient one with fewer Minsters and more people that do something! ( Less Chiefs and more Indians is what is needed )

So much for a nice and clean campaign...
So much for working together for a better eS.A...
That is... pretty bold Black8.
You're blaming the inactivity of ERDWURM's administration on everyone but FA?
I think that you are a man of sound spirit and I know that you will always be an adamant defender of eSouth Africa. I don't have any issues with you. I have however noticed that FA is withdrawing itself from the common grounds shared with BLF, SACP and DRB.
Why is this? The president is the only one of you present in the Liberation room on the official forum.
This has got nothing to do with campaigning, these are my private views about Government and people always blaming FA and the BS that people feed the public! ITS MY RIGHT TO WRITE WHAT I WANT TOO And LET PEOPLE SEE WHAT I AS A PERSON FEEL AND THINK. Dont turn this into a campaign story, LET THE PERSON THAT IS RUNNING FOR ANY POSITION DO THEIR OWN WORK this is MY views NOT FA'S but MY views. Its got ZERO to do with an FA message IF IT WAS A CAMPAIGN MESSEGE IT WOULD HAVE COME FROM THE FREE AFRICA ORG
Agreed, Lets move forward in the betterment of South Africa.
Yes,I understand...you just happened to decide to express your opinions right after the FA got the majority in congress.Just after your boom of new members.
Makes sense.
And saying that 3-4 months with FA administrations is a short time is a bit...I can't find the word...
Rico I can only answer for myself ( not other people ) RL work has been busy including the purchase of an house (in RL its like Q3 and needs lots of attention) - running a eParty and the recent congress election has kept me busy - investigating Theocraps and other people to understand them better has been taking up time also including trying to safegaurd eSA against possible "bad" members within our own party and working for a better stronger party. Then the management of a few eCompanies. We the FA should have no reason to withdraw ( I am not sure right now how many FA people have access to that room - it cant be many ) the President does keep me informed and I will login ASAP. I have been reading a lot on other sections of the National forum also - there is only so much one person can do. However I will login soon and request the other people to play an active roll. Thanks Rico for your words - again this is not FA views but my private view and feelings
@ ZironiaInc
1. Be a man and comment via your citizen, dont hide behind your org!
2. "Makes sense" ??? I have been writing this over and over and there is many different versions of this on my pc thats more than 4 weeks old since I decided, I wanted to SAY something - get these things of my hart before it drives me mad and I develope some bad attitude and hate other people. I just had enough when looking at an even more recent comment in the media and decided to finish this now and publish it. How would this impact the congress elections when they are now finished ??? OMG man think what you are saying. I think its much better not to have said this before the elections it might have cause more people to vote for FA. STOP THIKING ABOUT THINGS THAT ARE NOT THERE read it from my point and you'll have a little better understanding of my view - Everything is not planned with ulterior motivates and if you think with the frame of mind the whole time I realy dont know what to say...
3.There are many, before you say I am attacking the BLF, poeple I really like in the BLF its NOT about the BLF!
What other "non-FA" party members in FA administrations are you talking about? The only guy not BLF or FA is Dagari, and I don't think this whole article was about him. That's why people think you are attacking the BLF. I don't think you're attacking, just passing responsibility.
The fact is, there has never been a BLF president, so blaming us for secretive, inactive, slow-acting FA administrations is false and misleading. The president is responsible for who is in his cabinet and how things go under his administration. Blaming minority parties is irresponsible and political scapegoating.
There's so much I find laughable with this article, I don't know where to begin...but since Jizzie's pretty much already covered all the points I would have made, there's really not much more to say anyhow, I suppose...
True, if a cabinet member is ineffective or inactive, it is the President's job to say, "hey, do your job now or I'll replace you." and then to act upon that warning.
This article is mostly incoherent. My head hurts.
I like how you accused me of using army funds so that I could fight.
Then why am I in debt to other people?
Why can I explain where every single gold is? 5 gold to make the org, 5 gold to SAIA, 2 gold to the newspaper, 1 gold to me because I USED MY OWN MONEY TO FUND ARMY PURCHASES (rather the opposite of what you are saying aye?), and 13.something gold because I'm using the monetary market to get 2 more gold to replace the money lost on the paper.
I expected better than groundless accusations.
Brendan's done more than anyone, regardless of party, to get a trained army going, and like he said, much of it was done at his own expense. We owe him our gratitude, not scorn and suspicion.
@Black:
1.Is my citizen THAT relevant?Besides...you have a pretty serious hunch about who I am by now.Not that hard to find out either...
2.Guess I was being a bit too subtle for you.Ok,I'll go right ahead and state my personal(emphasis on personal) opinion😒eeing that you went from 53 to 90+ members in a very short period of time and seeing that your party has the majority of congress.You were free to express your personal opinions on this matter.Which you did,outstandingly if I may add.However,these opinions,surfacing at the beginning of the campaign for the presidency might have been a bit too well timed.
Could you point me to any other posts/articles you have done on this matter?I read the media and the forums quite often and quite thoroughly,but I could have missed it.
3.Yes you love the people in the BLF,except those appointed to the cabinet.
The thing in this article I laughed at the hardest was when you made your "usual beggars" comment. In fact, you were the main beggar that came up to the trough expecting a huge handout to be given to you with minimal monitoring so that you could upgrade your defence company at taxpayer expense.
In my opinion, FA leadership is most concerned about political control and acts in a way motivated only by this one goal. My guess is that FA DOES have certain programs such as health care, but only for FA members. Does this sound familiar?
I wonder how many creative, intelligent people FA stymies on daily basis simply because they colour a bit outside their controlled lines?
As expected, the attack on BLF ministers begins, just like I predicted a week ago. Good luck with that. Perhaps you will be dumb enough to depose your economic minister so you can finally loot the bank "theocratic style".
As far as your "my girls" comment, how long do you thing you are going to be able to keep up the mirage that blow up dolls you talk to over breakfast actually do much? If you are so busy in real life, you could reduce your time constraints by discontinuing your "help" for them with such tedious chores as logging in, button clicking, etc.
FA does have many competent and intelligent people. You and a certain clique of other idiots are not those people. I would relish the idea of your control coven finally getting what it seeks except for one thing - all the citizens lives it would damage. In a way, perhaps I should stop complaining that nothing gets done, with people like you at the helm, it is probably the best result one could hope for.
Black, I know for a fact Brendan did not use eSA money to fight. I lent him a moving ticket and weapons to get started. You and I go way back mate. Let me be honest. I have seen FA Presidents come and go. The only one (in my opinion) who has done a good job is Browski. He has been active and fair with all. And yes, Black8shawdow and I did fund our own campaign to fight as well as the Jizzer.
WALL OF TEXT.
I'll respond to some of this in a bit... when I have time. Probably in about a day and a half: no free time right now.
The most important thing(between the attacks on other people) that should be highlighted from this article for me is:
-More transparancy from the government, regular report through their orgs or newspapers or something on what is currently happening and that would shut the people up that says nothing is happening.
-Financial reports would show the people where everything is going so no one can complain about fruitless spending.
-No matter where you go, in RL or eRep, there will always be someone that complain about something of the government and most of the time the will be right, but always remember that you cant please everyone all the time. So when there is an FA presedent in office let there be an FA administration, so when something happens let the FA take full responsibility for their actions or non-actions and the same goes for BLF.
-In my opion Vellos is doing a great job with RBSA and as Minister, but I would say that the RBSA and minister should be separated and they should work together.
-I'm currently working out a way of auditing(I'm an auditor in training in RL) the government and offices so that there is complete assurance that there is full financial transparency in the government. I'm going to bring this up in the forums so that it can be discussed.
Transparency in govt. is one of the cornerstons of my campaign and I have practiced it as VP. I also plan to give regular reports not just on the financial situation, but the domestic and political as well. Finally, I will take full responsibility fr the actions of my ministers and other appointments, regardless of their party.
I believe that everyone should be given the equal opportunity to change things, and not have it put in the hands of people many don't personally know.
Imo opinion there shouldn't even be a cabinet, just a place where everyone can go to make suggestions and if they are good and agreed upon by peers are put into play.
There must be something wrong with me I am recently starting to sort off agree with Ryan - I think I need to go to the GP and have my self tested for something. however in your 1st par did you mean people you know because you should just investigate them if you dont know them 🙂 LOL - just a bit of humor!
