Video: SAs Whites Worst Enemies: Jews & President Ramaphosa Did a Black man convert to Ju
About ten or so years ago, my best Jewish friend one day told me that a very important black man has converted to Judaism but he refused to tell me the black mans name. This topic came up more than once, and he repeated this. Each time I asked him for the black mans name but he refused to give it to me. In this video, we look very closely at the extremely, uncomfortably close relationship between the President of South Africa and the Chief Rabbi of South Africa, the top Jew, in charge of the Jews.


The missile prototype cruised at five times the speed of sound ‘for an extended period.’

Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept by Lockheed Martin for DARPA.

A Lockheed Martin hypersonic missile prototype flew at five times the speed of sound "for an extended period" during a recent successful technology test for the U.S. military.

The hypersonic weapons test, which was announced April 5 by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), marked the second flight for the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) program following a September 2021 test by Raytheon Technologies, DARPA officials said in a statement.

Program officials framed the new flight as a major milestone in the hypersonic program, which aims to conduct military operations at swifter speeds and with higher effectiveness compared to what’s currently available.

"We are still analyzing flight test data, but are confident that we will provide the U.S. Air Force and Navy with excellent options to diversify the technology available for their future missions," said Andrew Knoedler, DARPA’s HAWC program manager for the tactical technology office, in the statement.

A press release from Lockheed noted the vehicle reached an altitude of 65,000 feet (nearly 19,812 meters), which is double the cruising altitude of a typical commercial flight. The vehicle will "address rapidly emerging threats in the global security arena," John Clark, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, said in his company’s statement.

DARPA and the U.S. Air Force are jointly working together on funding and supporting the HAWC program. Raytheon and Northrop Grumman together disclosed $200 million in funding for the project in 2019, while Lockheed Martin received nearly $1 billion in 2018, according to DefenseNews.com.

The program is seeking to assess feasibility, effectiveness and affordability across a series of flight demonstrations, and is by no means the first effort by U.S. military officials to work on hypersonic systems, either crewed or uncrewed.

A selection of other programs of hypersonic speeds include the 1950s-era X-20 Dyna-Soar that was designed to launch on a rocket, the FALCON hypersonic program (short for Force Application and Launch from CONtinental United States) of the early 2000s and Blackswift, which was later canceled.

Cartoon: From a Boer: White Liberal and the Black Jewish President Ramaphosa in LOVE
This guy does good cartoons. In this one he mocks the Jewish political party the DA and it teaming up with the ANC after the recent elections. Jan
