The fact that many South Africans take the terrorist alert from security agencies in the US seriously, speaks volumes.
It shows exactly who is in control of the psyche and, perhaps, the human-willed destiny of South Africa. It also shows how much we adore what is white and that which can be said to be trustworthy.
Not so long ago, the president of the US, alongside its allies like Britain, issued a bold and false statement that insisted that Russia would take the capital city of Ukraine, Kyiv in 24 hours. Since then, we have derived disturbing methods for the handling of information and security data by the West.
As we should all know today, it is the Russians and their initial theories who have been proven right, because the claims of a military operation and the way things are now, with Kyiv standing, are what can be considered factual.
What is true though in the warning is the fact that the US can in fact manufacture such security realities and carry them out.
And it is this that the South African security cluster must take seriously.
However, such a move by the US may be its own undoing. And it is on these grounds that the alarm by the security structures in the US is false.
And if Donald Trump ever was a rogue, he was a better one than a timid old man who is easily swayed by the powers that be.
This is because Trump may have offended the incompetent ego of Africans, with his reckless truth, but Trump minded his own business and made no enemies against the US.
Although the US has the science to collect all kinds of data and to classify it accordingly, the US is not the truth and God of this Earth.
This false alarm serves to achieve, among other things, instability on xenophobic grounds in order to ensure a certain political tone and objective, and in fact, to test the security, political and economic capacity of South Africa (and Africa) on how it can respond to modern ways of power and control.
Of most importance, the false alarm aims to expose the exact nature of the security relationship between Russia and South Africa, and whether this can surprise the hegemony.
Certainly, China, on its own, cannot yet decipher the military theory and depth of the US but when combined with Russia, it certainly can and will dismantle it.
Russia also has secrets that can surprise anyone on Earth, and the US knows it too well.
