During apartheid Dr. Wouter Basson over saw the creation of chemical weapons and drugs to use against and on Black Africans during the 1980's and '90's. Dr. Basson, a cardiologist, was made the head of Project Coast in 1983. Under the orders of then-President PW Botha, Basson secretly created large batches of toxins and bio-toxins under the guise of research laboratories. The chemicals were made as a last resort against enemy forces, and Basson created various covert ways to administer the weapons. [1]
Basson also created drugs such as Mandrax and cocaine, which amazingly the South African government wanted to use to quell dissent among soldiers. Weaponized tear gas was also produced and sold to Angola’s National Union for the Total Independence of Angola leader Jonas Savimbi. Basson also created drugs that made kidnappings possible and capsules of cyanide for field agents to commit suicide if captured.
Important this is to the consciousness of a targeted people. There is no reason to believe that this kind of espionage is dead. Our white relatives are the smallest racial group in the world. There is a silence and a deadliness to what that feels like to them we prefer to pretend is not present in our lives. With all the logic of all that has preceded in colonialism, and European conquest how can anyone of the most targeted group for extermination give up vigilance?
Dr. Wouter Basson, at this point, has only been lightly reprimanded after six years of investigation. It is only professional misconduct he is found guilty of! What that means, and is telling us is the value of Black African lives! Six years of official investigation about the previous system of apartheid's methods of chemical warfare against Black Africans was a pretense, and posturing with an expense account. The real break down 'we' need is deep, and the depth of what is needed to right the terrible wrongs is not to allow the pretense of justice have an upper hand over what works, and has worked for centuries amongst the indigenous peoples of South Africa, and other traditional cultures in places around the world.
For me to give an answer to right the wrong in South Africa is to ask for many people to go deep within themselves to look at and study the reflection of Dr. Wouter Basson within us all. Seeing our shadows, and Dr. Basson is a shadow, is an essential first step in this kind of healing practice. This doctor is a problem, a contradiction of great magnitude, and a dilemma of the soul and the spirit of a people. Victim and predator alike need to be in the circles of the spiritual work necessary to restore balance and right thinking and right living to a continent, and her People, and to the Earth, our Mother! - Gregory E. Woods, 6.23.14
