I am not going to play their game - I am not going to let the truth be surpressed or obscured. I am not going to be intimidated. No doubt Media Matters of America has marshaled their army & all their resources to destroy me and my family as they have done to others.
They have so much money behind them, so many people, resources, technology and enough complicit journalists and political operatives. They use artificial intelligence and algorithms. I have none of these things. But I have the truth. I have my integrity & I am not afraid.
I survived a mob of 200-300 men who gang-raped & sodomozed & beat me almost to death. I have survived many years on battlefield from the civil wars of Angola & Mozambique to Iraq, Afghanistan & beyond. I went to the heart of the deadliest Ebola outbreak in history and survived.
I know who I am and no one can take that from me. And I live by the words of one of the greatest men in history which I have carried in my heart all my life - at the Rivonia Trial all those years ago Nelson Mandela said:
“I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities....
It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die”. (Nelson Mandela Foundation).
