Gov. Jerry Brown said flags would be flown at half-staff at the state Capitol and issued this reaction:
“Nelson Mandela fought heroically for freedom and a truly democratic society. His courageous life shows what’s possible when one acts on his convictions.”
Former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger released a statement saying, “I will never forget the time I spent with President Mandela.”
The former governor recalled how “during the opening ceremony of the Special Olympics in South Africa, I had the opportunity to stand with him in his former jail cell at Robben Island to light the torch, and his legend grew before my eyes.”
Calling Mandela “one of my heroes,” Schwarzenegger wrote:
“He told me about his struggles, his time in captivity, his persecution and oppression. Most people would have had nothing in their heart but revenge, but all President Mandela had was forgiveness. He is the definition of serving a cause greater than self. He singlehandedly reunited his nation, because he had a vision of the future that should inspire all of us.
“President Mandela’s life is the closest thing we have to proof of God. I will never be able to thank him enough for his inspiration. Today, each of us should commit to do at least one small thing to improve the planet in his honor. Give back. Help someone. Change the world.”
Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom said that “the world has lost a great man and moral leader. Like Moses before him, Nelson Mandela led his country out of the chains of oppression and ushered in a new era of humanity for all of South Africa.”

Oh wow, I really wish I didn’t watch that video....no words.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_in_South_Africa
The country has one of the highest rates of rape in the world, with some 65,000 rapes and other sexual assaults reported for the year ending in March 2012, or 127.6 per 100,000 people in the country.[1] [14] The incidence of rape has led to the country being referred to as the “rape capital of the world”.[15] One in three of the 4,000 women questioned by the Community of Information, Empowerment and Transparency said they had been raped in the past year.[16] More than 25 per cent of South African men questioned in a survey published by the Medical Research Council (MRC) in June 2009 admitted to rape; of those, nearly half said they had raped more than one person.[17][18] Three out of four of those who had admitted rape indicated that they had attacked for the first time during their teens.[17] South Africa has amongst the highest incidences of child and baby rape in the world. If the rapist is convicted, his prison time would be around 2 years.[19] [20]
...since 1994, “more than 3,000 white farmers have been murdered by black assassins.” The killing is encouraged by a popular black demagogue named Julius Malema, whom Mr. Theroux describes as “wealthy, dangerous, and vindictive.” His signature song is “Shoot the Boer.” Mr. Theroux calls it “perfect for a black South African politician on the make—tuneful, with few words, easy to remember, anti-white, and an incitement to murder.”
Mr. Theroux writes that other black South African politicians do not approve of Mr. Malema’s racial rhetoric, and that in 2012 they expelled him from the African National Congress (ANC). They are also afraid of him, for Mr. Malema remains popular among the impoverished masses, and it is entirely possible he could rise to be leader of the country.
Most of Mr. Malema’s supporters are young men without jobs. Mr. Theroux describes them:
These disaffected people were the township toughs who stoned trains, hijacked cars, and terrorized neighborhoods with brazen robberies that sent crime statistics soaring. With an annual homicide rate of 32,000, and rapes amounting to 70,000, South Africa led the world in 2011 in reported rapes and murders.
As a result of this reign of terror, “every substantial dwelling was surrounded by walls, every house a fortress.” That is how people live today on the otherwise idyllic Cape.

On his Radio Show Today, Rush Limbaugh Reported: Nelson Mandela was in prison for 27 years because he refused to Renounce “Terrorism” for 27 years!
Any studies as to ‘why’? Some group has to be a the far end of the bell curve, but rape’s a strange one to take.
This is a culture in which some still believe that raping a baby will cure AIDS.
“President Obama’s wife is the closest thing we have to proof that....there IS hell on earth?

use the zoom on your mouse to show where the mosques are - raping and stoning...does that sound familair? Perhaps native custom and islam combined don’t make a civilized society?

Thus former President of the United States, George W. Bush and the American law-makers sat under the same roof with the uber-dictator, Robert Mugabe, Bolshevik hegemon, Raoul Castro and the second most important official from the Chinese Communists, the apparatchik, “Vice-President” Li.
It has been said that the African National Congress (AFC) and the South African Communist Party are a two-heads creature. They shared their goals, strategies and members. One of the top members, was their leader Nelson Mandela. The speakers confirmed it during the Memorial Service to commemorate the former President of South Africa.
Nevertheless, some in the West are still ignoring this fact. Tens of thousands of mourners, mostly members and sympathizers of the African National Congress, and numerous global dignitaries paid their last respects to the former president in the Pretoria stadium on Tuesday, 10th of December. Numerous speakers asserted during the ceremony, that Mandela was “a founding father of the democratic state of the South Africa”.
Was it really a celebration of the Western democracy? Can Mandela be a symbol or an icon of it?
Some of the speakers, including his former “brother-in-arms”, in their remarks called him “a Comrade” and “a great leader”. A careful observer could tell that these words seemed to be some special code known to the locals. Whenever the ANC deputy president and joint master of ceremonies, Cyril Rhamaposa uttered these words some parts of the crowd would become energized. They would shout and sing with their hand stretched upward and clenched their fist, a known symbol of the Communists.
Whether or not they were aware, the leaders of the Western democracies gathered in Pretoria’s stadium were inadvertently taking part in the celebration of “the people’s democracy” and not the democracy. What is the difference? The people’s democracy was used by the Kremlin together with the Communist parties around the globe, to pursue their unlimited goals such as conquering the world.
During the Bolshevik rule, the Communist Party around the globe led by the Kremlin, committed indescribable crimes in the name of the very same “people’s democracy”. Some examples of their crimes include: murder of the millions of Ukrainians, imposing on them an artificial hunger, support of the war crime of murdering several thousands of war prisoners, Polish officers in Katyn, co-responsibility for the Holocaust together with Nazi Germany, killing of hundreds of millions of innocent people in China and other Asian countries. Further more, the murder of hundreds of thousands of people in Africa. The Kremlin committed this latter crime with a the local instrument, which was the African National Congress.
“A people’s democracy”, a Communist tautology, is used as a cover by the Communist rulers, which are neither “people’s” but a self-imposed regime nor “democratic” but a tyrannical power.
The documents and witnesses over the years confirmed that the Communist Nelson Mandela, found himself deprived of the ANC’s major sponsor, the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and changed his tactics.
Did he himself really change? It is being said that he had resigned from violence. He did. Violent methods were useless for him since his Communist comrades, the policy makers from the ANC, could finally get their hands on the steering wheel. Exaggeration? Not at all.
Mandela appointed in his first government, the chief of the African National Congress Comrade, Alfted Nzo, as the first foreign minister. As the documents from the Soviet Communist Party Archives have proven. In 1979, the same Alfred Nzo had secretly ordered the weapons and forged passports from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to run the terror campaign against the democratic governments in Africa including South Africa.
Instead of standing trial, Nzo stood on the red carpet, before the cameras being praised as a peacemaker. Was it possible that Mandela appointed Nzo onto the central nerve system of the young state by accident?
What if he wanted to push South Africa closer to the Russian orbit and to keep it beyond the reach of the United States and its allies. In fact, Gorbachev’s plan appeared to have such a goal – as former KGB strategists Anatoliy Golitsyn explained in his letter to the CIA which was published in “Perestroika Deception”:
to facilitate a shift of the emerging regime in South Africa from the Western sphere of influence, towards close economic and political cooperation and alliance with the CIS. USING for this purpose, old friendships with leaders of the African National Congress and the South African Communist Party with which it is effectively merged.
Mandela portrayed the formation of his government, which would consist of the former Comrades from the African National Congress, as a victory of the democracy in South Africa. The West was complacent and fell in the trap of hyper-optimism and self-contentment.
So what should Mandela have done to prove that he had changed? He should have opened the African National Congress archives and convinced his Comrades to talk about the secret cooperation with the Empire of Evil. He did nothing. Mandela duped the world and with skillful manipulation covered his past behind the thin curtain.
Even today some respected senior political figures, aspiring to the highest offices, historians themselves, appear to be victims of such manipulation by joining the chorus of the ignoramuses and cynics, who are praising the Communist terrorist. A product of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the international communist movement.
It is even more amazing that some leaders of the Western world cannot understand it, given the wealth of information in the open sources.
Maybe some of them, after hours of sitting in the stadium, became surprised or maybe even shocked about what they had heard and seen. Democrats and tyrants were sitting together in the source of their power would not be important. The television footage around the globe was continually showing the representatives of the states, that were still committing crimes against humanity and those who are supposed to defend the innocent victims of the criminal regimes.
Thus former President of the United States, George W. Bush and the American law-makers sat under the same roof with the uber-dictator, Robert Mugabe, Bolshevik hegemon, Raoul Castro and the second most important official from the Chinese Communists, the apparatchik, “Vice-President” Li Yuangchao.
Hundreds of thousands true fighters for freedom and dignity are being tortured and killed in the prisons, labor camps and secret places of detention around Zimbabwe, China and Cuba.
Mandela’s record of defense of the Chinese, Cuban or other freedom fighters is not impressive. It is impossible to find any statement in which he would criticize for instance: Beijing, Phenian, Teheran, PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah, Kremlin, or Havana regimes. None.
Is it possible that Mandela’s indifference or lack of activity on behalf of true freedom fighters was just ideological?
It is more than clear today that Nelson Mandela was not just one of the top leaders of the African National Congress but he was Comrade Li Yuanchao, “vice-president”, top apparatchik in the Chinese Communist Party was teaching Western leaders about the greatness of Mandela at the Memorial also a top member of the South African Communist Party.
A fact that he denied during his trial. He even repeated this statement in his autobiography. On page 239 he wrote: “I was not a communist nor a member of the party”. On the day of Mandela’s Memorial Service in the Pretoria Stadium, the former deputy general secretary of the South African Communist Party, Solly Mapaila stated in an interview with the Business Day, that Mandela, was a member of the party but it was denied at the time for “political reasons”.
“At his arrest in 1962, Nelson Mandela was not only a member of the then underground South African Communist Party, but was also a member of our party’s central committee. To us, South African communists, Cde [Comrade – note by TP] Mandela shall forever symbolize the fundamental contribution of the SACP in our liberation struggle” – the party said in a statement reacting to Mandela’s death.
“The contribution of the communists in the struggle to achieve the South African freedom has very few parallels in the history of our country. After his release from prison in 1990 Cde Madiba [Nelson Mandela – note by TP] became a great and close friend of communists till his last days.”
Why did Mandela not admit that he was a member of the central committee of the South African Communist Party? Time has changed. At that the time he was released from prison, the Soviet Union was crumbling, and there was “too much negativity around the Soviet system” – Mapaila said.
The Memorial Service became a good lesson of history for a diligent observer.
The crowd in the stadium gathered to remember their former President, cheered enthusiastically to acknowledge the African Dictator In Chief, Robert Mugabe. Even him could not believe it.
Thanks for that.. Mugabe was applauded? They don’t call it the Dark Continent for nothing. Their hearts and souls are chunks of coal,, blackened by their destinies.
