Public Comment #2: DA vs Mike Hampton

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Trolls are nasty and cheap with facts. Solid comments are rare but there have been a lot more lately. I sometimes don’t know who the commentator is, things getting written farther afield than my pages. Cldntgiveash1t is obviously an anonymous profile but I share because its profile has recorded thousands of comments, sufficient for me to believe there’s real intent that belies the terrific profile name. This was posted on the Knysna-Plett Herald’s page. They’re the newspaper with a coveted spot in the DA’s arsehole. They wouldn’t allow me right … Read the full article…

Mike Hampton Posted on by

I’m occasionally directed by loyal readers to where others have made comments about me. Generally, they’re the trolling and deceptive kind, using insult, not fact. My response is to slam a comment section with evidence, using it as an opportunity to advertise the truth to people who may never have been on my page. Occasionally, I find compliments or critiques that the author has preferred to make outside of my eye or, more precisely, away from my blog which may draw attention to them. I understand them not wanting the … Read the full article…

This was the situation at 10:10am on the 7th of June 2017. Let that TIME sink in with the imagery… Then consider the immense and frankly immeasurable cost of the tragedy (most of all, the precious lives lost) and begin to hold the Knysna Municipality ACCOUNTABLE for their RECKLESS and PERSISTENT promotion of a FACTUALLY FAULTY and scientifically unproven narrative in the press. They haven’t even released their … Read the full article…

A 2010 fire risk analysis predicted the Great Knysna Fire! If ever people are held accountable for the destruction and death, this may become strong evidence of their failure to act.

The main question you’ll have after reading this is who had the information and why didn’t they do something with it? “This is one of those Eureka-moments where the exceptionally talented group of people … Read the full article…

Mike Hampton Posted on by

A loss would possibly mean a change in the direction of the country. A win would consolidate his power and silence many of his critics within in his party, possibly forcing some of them out. It’s both an exciting and important day for South Africa. Watch this historic moment live. If you don’t have the luxury of DSTV channel 408, … Read the full article…
