Mandela On America’s Terrorist Watch List
NELSON Mandela is on America’s terrorist watch list:
Nobel Peace Prize winner and international symbol of freedom Nelson Mandela is flagged on U.S. terrorist watch lists and needs special permission to visit the USA. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice calls the situation “embarrassing,” and some members of Congress vow to fix it.

It figures. Any public figure who strays the least bit from complete compliance to the US-dicktated pro-capitalist line and who even remotely portends a substantial alternative is all too susceptible to be tagged with the label of “terrorist.” This goes on, while REAL TERRORISTS like Henry Kissinger become Nobel Peace Prize winners and are hailed in the US establishment and the US-dicktated world odor ass apostles of democrazy!

After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a military wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves in Mandela’s campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years’ imprisonment with hard labour. In 1963, when many fellow leaders of the ANC and the Umkhonto we Sizwe were arrested, Mandela was brought to stand trial with them for plotting to overthrow the government by violence. His statement from the dock received considerable international publicity. On June 12, 1964, eight of the accused, including Mandela, were sentenced to life imprisonment. From 1964 to 1982, he was incarcerated at Robben Island Prison, off Cape Town; thereafter, he was at Pollsmoor Prison, nearby on the mainland.- Nobel.org
Twenty seven years later he was released.
Therefore, Nelson Mandela is a convicted terrorist, a promoter of violent armed insurrection and has a criminal record…..but what a record!
I met that Winnie Mandela more than twice…while he was in prison. Their divorce was inevitable .
