“An accessory must generally have
knowledge that a crime is being, will
be, or has been committed.” [Check]
“A person with such knowledge may
become an accessory by helping
[voting - Check] or encouraging
[Voting again and again - Check] the
criminal in some way, or simply by
failing to report the crime to proper
authority.” [Check]
“The assistance to the criminal may
be of any type” [lovely term, any type Check]
“Including emotional or financial
assistance [Tax, VAT, etc. - Big Check]
as well as physical assistance or
concealment” [Using tax money for

Knowledge of the crime

“To be convicted of an accessory
charge, the accused must generally be
proved to have had actual knowledge
that a crime was going to be, or had
been committed.” [Every day in every
court and media channel - Check]
“Furthermore, there must be proof that
the accessory knew that his or her
action, or inaction, was helping the
criminals commit the crime, or evade
detection or escape”. [Read on - and

Law
Assisting in breaking the law
“Someone who assists another to commit a
crime either before or during its execution,
but whose conduct does not constitute the
crime itself, is known as a socius criminis,
an accessory before the fact or accomplice
to a crime. The term ‘accessory’, however,
is more often used to describe somebody
who knowingly assists a perpetrator after
the crime has been committed. That person
is then an accessory after the fact”. Source:

So here is my mad simple logic
Government fraud, oops sorry “tender
irregularities”; corruption, oops again
“cadre deployment” theft, nog ‘n oops
“misappropriation of funds”; spin them how
you will but surely the majority of the voting
public must be accessories to these crimes
and the consequences of the incompetency
of all state department, officials and
“leaders”?
Some may argue that they did not vote
for the regime. Does that make them
less of a criminal? You may argue that
having knowledge when the crimes were
committed, seeing where crimes are being
committed: you took it upon yourself to
vote for an opposition party thus cleaning
your hands of the matter and making you
innocent of all charges. Well here is more of
my mad logic Pontius.
I am forced, we are forced, by the elected
regime (not of my choosing or yours or
maybe of your choosing), to pay exorbitant
amounts of taxes, tariffs, VAT, levies,
surcharges, license fees, tolls etc. to a
government that arms a police force with
lethal weapons and orders them to shoot
and kill striking miners. My tax money was
used to purchase weapons and ammunition
that was used in the slaughter of my fellow
citizens.
My tax money, our tax money, is paid in
salaries to policemen who beat up a service
delivery demonstrators, handcuff him to a
vehicle and dragged him to a police station;
killing him.
My money, our money; paid for regime
policemen to beat another unarmed service
delivery demonstrator and to shoot him in
the chest. In fact hundreds of millions of
Rand are used every year to fight, defend,
and settle abuse of power claims by
citizens against the regime.
And what of the blue lights civil servants
paid for by me, you, us and their cavalcade
of in some cases, convicted criminal guards
and drivers, driving recklessly and shooting
at and maiming ordinary citizens.
The money that I pay over every month is
used to arm and legally protect thousands
of criminal activities every year. Let’s face
it without money none of this would be
possible? Without the tacit support of an
informed voting majority none of this would
be possible? I am informed. I pay for fear of
penalties and prison, am I an accessory?
My money, our money that we pay over
is aiding, funding and being stolen and
misused and therefore I put it to you My
Lord, My Lady: we meet all the elements
according to law so: are we not accessories
to these crimes? And more importantly if
this is so, what is there to be done about it?

If I know and understand that racist laws
are being promulgated and passed every
day in this country using money that I have
handed over - surely that makes me a
racist? If I see thousands of my fellow black
countrymen and women suffering because
of policies and criminal activities and I do
nothing but keep funding such activities
and laws am I not a racist not to speak out?
Maybe I am just a simpleton. Perhaps I do
not understand all of the legal opinions,
variations and interpretations of laws in this
country. One thing is for sure every time a
multi-million rand motorcades blast by me
on a freeway breaking every traffic law and
endangering me and my fellow citizens;
peaceful people are subdued using violent
force; multi-million rand homes are built and
upgraded for politicians while little 6 year
old Michael Komape suffocates by choking
and drowning on faeces and urine in a pit
toilet; I can’t help literally crying and asking
am I guilty of that? I am sorry little Michael!
I will do better; I will shed light; I will speak
out. That’s my money that they stole. That’s
my money that they used. I paid for proper
toilets, sanitation and human dignity but
it was used rather for a luxury swimming
pool, multimillion Rand home upgrades,
luxury German cars an B
