The Lessons of Hurricane Katrina This past week saw massive power failures stretching from Cape Town all the way to Messina. Mercifully, it lasted no longer than a day or so. We in the New South Africa have become accustomed to power blackouts, which is a daily occurrence in some areas, and a weekly one elsewhere. What made this latest blackout noteworthy, was the sheer scale of it. Another highly ominous aspect was that it was triggered by a new set of problems at South Africas only nuclear reactor, the Koeberg plant in Cape Town. Koeberg supposedly serves the Western Cape peninsula, and how the shut-down of the main turbine set in motion a domino effect, reaching as far afield as Natal and the very northern border towns of Limpopo, is not exactly clear. What is clear is that this may be the beginning of an ominous new phase of Arse-zanian decay.
Most South Africans are rather stoic about this typically Third World phenomenon its hugely inconvenient, kills productivity and causes untold disruptions of our lives. For years, countries to our north have had precisely the same problems, due exclusively to the fact that blacks are utterly incapable of maintaining, let alone creating a fairly complex electrical infrastructure. Incompetence, corruption and an innate racial flaw to destroy, steal and vandalise everything and anything they can lay their paws on, ensures that these reprehensible stone-age creatures remain in the dark. Those of us Whites who are unfortunate enough to exist alongside them, try and make the best of a bad situation sales of diesel & petrol-driven generators have soared, as have demand for gas-powered heaters, fridges and UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) systems for computers and house hold appliances. In anger, Whites lash out at being the victims of Azanian stupidity and backwardness, and in lighter moments, we will make fun of their mind-numbing proclivity to be such utter failures. But few of us realise the extreme seriousness of the underlying danger. In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina swept through New Orleans, in the Louisiana state of the USA. New Orleans has always been a predominantly black city. Days before the disaster, FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Administration) and several other US governmental agencies warned New Orleans citizens of the approaching category 5 hurricane. Almost all of the White citizens immediately packed up and left, whereas a large majority of the blacks thumbed their noses at the White Mans silly meteorological neuroses, and stayed churlishly put. What happened thereafter is public record, including the pathetic, typically simian trait of blaming whitey for the consequences of their own actions. The descent into savagery never before seen in a First World city, of all places the mighty United States was shocking beyond words. Within three days, Katrina had knocked out the entire electrical grid, and with it, telecommunications, radio & TV, water supplies and food. Although a large part of the city was flooded, the collapse of the entire civil infrastructure also dragged down the non-flooded peri-urban areas of greater New Orleans. No electricity meant food rotting in the fridges. Water supplies and the entire sewage system were devastated. The entire city was in chaos, and the mostly black survivors, now desperate for supplies, turned to looting supermarkets and retail stores to obtain bottled water and canned food. Once youve smashed down the glass doors of a supermarket, its not too difficult to smash the windows of the electronics store next door, so anarchy in the form of burning, looting and killing came easily to these half-devil, half child orcs. After five days, one would have been hard-pressed to find any evidence of these negroid apes having resided in a civilised country for three hundred years, as murder, rape, looting and even documented instances of cannibalism manifested itself. Those black cops who didnt make themselves guilty of dereliction of duty by fleeing, were openly joining in the looting and pillaging of the city. The United States city of New Orleans took less than five days to become a Mogadishu or a Freetown roving gangs of armed, murderous blacks engaged each other (as well as anyone who got in their way) with automatic rifles, in an animalistic orgy of mindless violence. When they gratuitously started spraying US rescue helicopters with automatic gunfire, the American government realised they had to intervene and quickly. National Guard battalions from neighbouring states were sent in to restore order, and after days of running gun battles in the streets of the famed Mardi Gras city, the federal government regained control of the situation. At this point, the more switched on readers of this blog would easily have linked the relevance of what happened in New Orleans, to our own very perilous situation. Imagine an instance where cities like Johannesburg and Pretoria, or Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Durban, were to experience a total rolling blackout, for a period of five or more days no power, no telecommunications, no water, no food, no petrol to get out of the city New Orleans teaches us that it does not take much for total and complete anarchy to take root. Add to this the ever-simmering, just below the surface hatred & envy of the have-nots against the haves, and you realise you are sitting on a powder keg of unimaginably scary proportions. Before Katrina hit, New Orleans was a fairly orderly, civilised place, despite its high crime rate directly linked to its majority black inhabitants. Fortunately for New Orleans, the US government was able draw on a motivated, disciplined militia to restore law and order, albeit by force. In the New South Africa, an occurrence on the scale of what happened in New Orleans can never be contained by our demoralised, HIV-infected SANDF who are either perennially on strike, or simply on AWOL. The SA Police is feared & considered to be on precisely the same level as the hordes of murderous street criminals, you are deluded if you think they will show the slightest interest in restoring law & order. Put simply, both these arms of the criminal Azanian regime will enthusiastically join in the free-for-all, except they enjoy the tactical advantage of having deadly weaponry, bullet-proof vests and armoured vehicles. If by now you are having visions of the French rescue of their white citizens from bloodthirsty savage hordes in the Cote D'Ivoire, youre getting close...except for us, there will be no rescue choppers or well-armed White French troops. In a worst-case scenario like this, matters can easily descend into an open race war. If Sipho comes bounding over your now useless electric fence, he will die in a hail of bullets, simple as that. Problem is, Sipho is likely to be accompanied by a few mates, and your guns do not have god-mode cheat codes sooner or later youre going to run out of ammo. Secondly, youre really not all that fond of canned food, preferring fresh or frozen, so supplies will run out fast. If you decide to get out of the city, to go visit that long-lost uncle Koos on the farm, youll need a tank of fuel to last you at least 300 km. If youre running on empty, youre in serious trouble. I never would have imagined repeating what pre-1994 doomsday advisers peddled, but it might not be a bad idea to check your inventory and put together a basic survival kit consisting of: Ammunition Canned food and bottled water Candles, handigas canisters, batteries, even a petrol-driven generator Fuel, in the form of diesel, petrol and paraffin, for your car and generator A stash of cash, and a valid passport, in case you get the urge to go check out Gabarone, Mbabane or Windhoek in a hurry That the supremely incompetent Escom and the notoriously corrupt black regime will ever regain the ability to provide enough electricity for this countrys needs is highly unlikely. It is entirely reasonable and rational to suspect that things will simply get worse. Given the New Orleans lesson, plus the parlous state of Koeberg and the entire electrical grid in this turd-world shithole, it is likely that a dark, vicious Mad Max style future can descend upon us much quicker than we care to imagine. Remember, it took LESS than five days for a first world city in the US to descend into utter chaos, and weeks for the feds to get a handle on things. Here, we have a component of millions of opportunistic we wants the white wumminz, and the whites cars, and the whites houses ready to pounce. A catastrophic power failure lasting for days, is all it takes to initiate a dreadful but logical course of events that will descend rapidly into anarchy. Question is, will you be ready to deal with it, and to whisk your loved ones to safety?
