Inner Circle as reflected by the ICASA 5G spectrum shortlist

Who is the inner circle?
1. The inner circle was created by apartheid big businesses and political elite within the ANC.
2. Close cooperation between the ANC elders and apartheid intelligence services ensured a smooth transition and democratic elections in 1994.
3. Apartheid intelligence apparati ensured that their intelligence assets in the various liberation structures were deployed within big businesses and the government.
  1. The government of Nelson Mandela could be used as guidance to who was deployed where.
    1. It is quite logical that the apartheid government, with full knowledge of the political elite within the ANC, deployed their intelligence assets very strategically in the newly democratically elected government to ensure a smooth transition.
    2. In order to achieve a smooth transition, police, defence, intelligence services, and minister of finance would have been seen as key positions with deployments that both parties could trust.
  2. Many of the inner circle, BBBEE, and government strategic positions were given to apartheid intelligence assets as a reward.
    1. The intelligence structures actively participated in the deployment of intelligence assets.
  3. Why?
    1. ANC used organized crime structures to assist with funding the liberation movement and its terrorist activities.
      1. These people involved with organized crime used the liberation movements for their own enrichment.
    2. The organized criminal networks were regarded as opportunists, and many became apartheid intelligence assets.
      1. This included the ANC and other liberation movements in Africa.
    3. Apartheid intelligence services strategically realized in 1983 that the new world order was strategically forming new alliances and that communism would collapse as a result.
  4. When?
    1. The ANC's use of organized crime started in the middle sixties.
      1. This operation gathered momentum in 1976.
    2. Apartheid intelligence services started the process in 1983.
      1. Using intelligence assets fronting from both sides.
    3. Where are they in the economy and politics?
      1. The inner circle was already in place before 1983, recruited by apartheid intelligence apparati with many ANC cadres working as intelligence assets.
        
        Mostly false flag.
      2. The apartheid intelligence structures successfully recruited and managed the organized crime networks within the various liberation movements.
    4. What is the purpose of the inner circle?
      1. Acting as agents of influence on political targets within the ANC.
      2. Promoting the business agendas.
        
        The 5G ICASA rollout.
        
        The B4SA vaccination passport rollout.
      3. How do they keep the circle closed?
        
        Big Businesses are in business to make money.
        
        The unbanning of the liberation movements created opportunities and an influx of investment.
        
        The big players all made billions in the process.
        
        Apartheid intelligence assets who were deployed became multi-millionaires.
        
        In return, they were supposed to keep the communists at bay.
        
        As communism crashed simultaneously, communism was not considered an economic option.
        
        Big Businesses created BBBEE through the ANC political elite.
        
        To understand how the inner circle works, one can analyze the companies ICASA shortlisted for the 5G spectrum.
