Naomi Klein says boycott Israel
#6
I have reservations about the South African boycott model used by the "international" players.

Firstly, the boycott allowed South African military and intelligence to work in deep, deep black on the creation of weapons of mass destruction etc -- a la "Dr. Death", Dr. Wouter Basson. These developments were a godsend to the US and other nations to develop nasty stuff there far from prying eyes.

Secondly, the entire model of South African anti- apartheid culminating in the release and election to the presidential office of Nelson Mandela was - to a certain extent anyway - a charade. Mandela was, I believe, released from prison and elevated to office by the intercession of Harry Oppenheimer to defend De Beers interests.

Mandela was released from prison in 1990 at Openheimer's urging and it was also in 1990, that Oppenheimer moved De Beers international HQ to Switzerland where it controls all of it's non South African business - thus reducing capital flows (and thus the tax take) through South Africa.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
