5. Violation of CRL Rights

Tell us which right(s) has/have been violated:

9. Equality: Everyone is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and benefit of the law. … (3) The state may not

unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds, including race, gender, sex, pregnancy, marital

status, ethnic or social origin, colour, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, conscience, belief, culture, language and birth. (4) *1

No person may unfairly discriminate directly or indirectly against anyone on one or more grounds in terms of subsection (3). National

legislation must be enacted to prevent or prohibit unfair discrimination. (5) Discrimination on one or more of the grounds listed in

subsection (3) is unfair unless it is established that the discrimination is fair.

3/6


30. Language and culture: Everyone has the right to use the language and to participate in the cultural life of their choice, but no one

exercising these rights may do so in a manner inconsistent with any provision of the Bill of Rights.

34. Access to courts: Everyone has the right to have any dispute that can be resolved by the application of law decided in a fair public

hearing before a court or, where appropriate, another independent and impartial tribunal or forum.

Tell us what happened in relation to the violation:

On 27 November 2012, I filed a Pro Se application1 with the Constitutional Court Registrar, for Radical Honesty culture

Review of the „Kill Boer‟ Hate Speech Negotiated Agreement between Afriforum/TAU-SA and Julius Malema/ANC,

wherein I specifically requested an order from the court, for the “Permission to invoke2 cultural law

3 in S. 15(3), 30, 31,

and 18; to enable the Applicant to honour the duty and responsibility to uphold the principles upon which her Radical

Honesty culture is based; and Psychological Integrity in Section 124; the former which may require the application of

choice of law rules.”

On 29 November 2012, Concourt Registrar refused to issue my application a case number, or process it, unless I met

certain „Rules of the Court‟, which included finding legal representation.

On 06 December 2012, I filed “Appeal of Concourt Registrar‟s Refusal to Process My Concourt Application: Alien on

Pale Blue Dot v Afriforum et al”, to the Concourt Justices, via the Registrar; wherein I informed the Registrar that I cannot

find any lawyer to represent me, I have not been able to find any lawyer to represent me for the past ten years, because

there are no lawyers or Advocates in South Africa who are willing to represent me, as a member of the Radical Honesty

culture. The registrar did not appear to believe me, so I wrote a Press Release, which I submitted (for R275.00) to SAPA,

wherein I attempt to find a lawyer who is willing to represent someone from the Radical Honesty culture.

SAPA published the Press Release to their „wire‟, did not write a SAPA news story about it, which they generally do. I

telephoned SAPA to find out why they did not write a story about it, whereupon the SAPA Journalist informed me that it

was „not news‟. When I asked why other SA media publications did not publish it, she said she thought, they also

probably think it is „not news‟.

I then wrote an email to all of the Editors (Annex A), asking them whether they “believe that the fact that a South African

citizen member of the Radical Honesty culture, has been unable to find a lawyer to represent her, as a member of the

Radical Honesty culture, for the past ten years, and in a current case before the Constitutional Court, is “not news”?”

None of them responded and none of them published a story to inform SA lawyers that a South African citizen member

of the Radical Honesty culture, has been unable to find a lawyer to represent her, as a member of the Radical Honesty

culture, for the past ten years, and in a current case before the Constitutional Court.

In the United States Supreme Court Case: In re Oliver, 333 U.S. [at] 270-271, the Justices argue that “the knowledge

that every criminal trial is subject to contemporaneous review in the forum of public opinion is an effective restraint on

2 Ex parte Minister of Native Affairs: In re Yako v Beyi 1948 (1) SA 388 (A) at 397: Appellate Division held that neither common nor

customary law was prima facie applicable. Courts had to consider all the circumstances of a case, and, without any preconceived view about the applicability of one or other legal system, select the appropriate law on the basis of its inquiry. 3 SALC, Sept 1999: Report on Conflicts of law: P.22: „1.58. The Constitution now provides an entitlement for invoking customary law in legal

suits. Because ss 30 and 31 specifically guarantee an individual and a group's right to pursue a culture of choice, it could be argued that application of customary law has become a constitutional right. Previously, the state had assumed complete discretion in deciding whether and to what extent customary law should be recognized, an attitude typical of colonial thinking, for Africans were subject to whatever policies the conquering state chose to impose on them. Now, however, the state has a duty to allow people to participate in the culture they choose, implicit in this duty is a responsibility to uphold the institutions on which that culture is based.‟ 4 12.

possible abuse of .. power .. without publicity, all other checks are insufficient: in comparison of publicity, all other checks

are of small account.”

I am unable to get access to a court, because I don‟t have a lawyer. I don‟t have a lawyer, because no lawyer in South

Africa, that I am aware of, is willing to represent an individual from the Radical Honesty culture; yet the media deny me

access to the publicity to find such a possible lawyer; or at least to unequivocally confirm that such a lawyer does not

exist.

Media editors hate the Radical Honesty culture, because we practice 100% transparency (so they are unable to threaten

or frighten us with exposing any of our secrets, cause we ain't got no secrets) and because we don't practice 'Public

Relations'. The media don‟t believe it is their professional job to report on all cultures and all news with impartiality and

fairness.

South African

18. Impairment (IF YES, please specify)

Yes, sort of, depending on your perspective. People in „normal culture‟ are easily offended by

individuals from the Radical Honesty culture, because we do not practice „politeness‟ or „manners‟

or „public relations‟, and if we are angry, we don‟t pretend we are not angry, so we sometimes

swear, if that is our honest opinion at that moment. A friend of mine, who is not a member of the

Radical Honesty culture, says having a Radical Honesty friend, is similar to having a friend with

„Tourettes Syndrome‟.

Subject: CONCOURT - RADICAL HONESTY CULTURE LAWYER

Headline: CONCOURT CASE SEEKS RADICAL HONESTY LAWYER

Body: A Constitutional Court Application for Review of the Supreme Court of Appeal "Kill Boer" Hate Speech Negotiated Agreement between Afriforum, TAU-SA, Julius Malema and the ANC, is seeking a 'Radical Honesty lawyer'. The Pro Se application was filed with the Constitutional Court Registrar on 27 November, by an EcoFeminist paralegal and South Africa's only member of the Radical Honesty culture. The respondents are: Afriforum, Transvaal Agricultural Union, Julius Malema, African National Congress, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Former Presidents Nelson Mandela and FW de Klerk, CRL

Rights Commission, Norwegian Nobel Committee: Chair, Central Intelligence Agency: Director, and David Petraeus. The application requests the Court to issue orders: (1) allowing the applicant to invoke cultural law on behalf of her Radical Honesty culture; (2) to review the ambiguity and lack of clarity of the Afriforum-Malema SCA Negotiated Agreement, which censored the „TRC Fraud‟ evidence submitted to the Equality and Supreme Court of Appeal by the Applicant; (4) that a credible proactive peace plan requires confronting Peak Non-renewable Natural Resources (NNR) and Overpopulation & Consumption driven Scarcity as a Cause of Violent Conflict; (5) Alternatively; to warn all South

African‟s to prepare for SA‟s Race and Class War in the impending Crisis of Conflict. The Concourt Registrar suggested the Applicant get legal representation. She unsuccessfully contacted Legal Aid, Law Societies and Bar Associations to find a lawyer to represent her, as a member of the Radical Honesty culture. The Radical Honesty culture was founded by Dr. Brad Blanton, CEO of the Center for Radical Honesty, dedicated to promoting honesty in the world; a former candidate for US Congress in 2004 and 2006, on the platform of “Honesty in Politics” and a bestselling author of the „Radical Honesty‟ series

of books. Futilitarians commitment to transparency makes Wikileaks look like secrecy addicts. They believe trust and strong relationships are a result of vulnerable transparency and clear communication: “being specific about anger and forgiveness”, and all „diplomacy‟, „etiquette‟, „manners‟ and „public relations‟ are considered lying and manipulative deception.

A radical honesty lawyer would be required to place transparency, truth telling and truth seeking as a higher priority than „winning‟ the case. In radical honesty a „true win-win‟ in any dispute occurs when the dispute resolution process does not censor politically incorrect or controversial information, or emotions as „irrelevant‟. Finding the Truth is what matters, wherever that search leads.

Futilitarians believe Enlightenment and Personal (or Social) Transformation can only occur in a being willing to be her DUH village idiot self: willing to give up her Bullshit the Public Relations image management; in exchange for total transparency, exposing her strengths and weaknesses: her naked psychological, emotional, intellectual DUUUUHHHHH self in the moment. As Blanton argues in Practicing Radical Honesty: “Your neuroses, your limiting beliefs, your defenses, your paranoia, and your hypersensitivity can all become useful tools once your perspective on them changes.” Interested 'Radical Honesty' lawyers may contact the applicant on (071)
