ABSA oorname deur Barclays - Stormfront
ABSA oorname deur Barclays
05-11-2005, 05:48 PM #1
Almal is seker reeds bewus daarvan dat Barclays besig is om 60% aandeel in ABSA te bekom teen $5.5 biljoen. Hierdie is die grootste belegging in SA in die laaste 10 jaar. Sanlam verkoop sy beherende aandeel in ABSA en 'n buitelandse mpy neem dit oor.
Hierdie transaksie kwel my. Ek is nie 'n ekonoom nie maar dink bietjie oor die volgende :
Waarom was Sanlam so gretig om te verkoop ?
Waarom word ABSA nie Barclays genoem na die oorname nie ?
Hoe maklik sal dit nie wees om die SA ekonomie 'n stewige nekslag toe te dien wanneer Barclays skielik sou besluit om WEER te onttrek nie ?
Waarom was die ANC so gretig dat hierdie transaksie moet plaasvind ?
Dit vat nou werklik nie 'n ekonoom om te besef dat ons geldeenheid KUNSMATIG stimuleer word nie. 'n Voorbeeld hiervan is die onlangse opdrag aan die reserwebank dat hulle weer die rentekoers met 'n verderdere 50 basispunte moes verlaag. Dit in stryd met die meeste ekonome se waarskuwings om dit nie te doen nie.
En intussen maak almal skuld want die rentekoerse is so gerieflik laag. Wat gebeur wanneer die koerse begin styg ? En ek is oortuig wanneer dit gaan gebeur gaan dit beslis nie met 50 basispunte op 'n keer geskied nie maar heelwat meer. Wat as dit weer styg tot by 28% of selfs meer, soos in die verlede ? Gaan jy instaat wees om nog die huispaaiement en motor en al die ander items wat so op skuld aangekoop is te kan betaal ? Ek weet van talle wat letterlik met hul hande in hul hare gaan sit ...
So, kyk mens na die groter prentjie kry ek die gevoel dat hierdie transaksie 'n verskuilde agenda bevat. Barclays het al vantevore onttrek en ek is oortuig hulle sal dit weer doen en die keer vir heeltemal ander redes as in die 80's.
Ek bank self by ABSA en ek glo nie ek gaan meer lank by hulle wees nie. Iets voel net nie vir my reg nie en ek wil beslis nie 'n Saambou (of is dit nou Saamvou ?) herhaling voorspel nie - maar wanneer Barclays sou onttrek is so iets dalk nie onmoontlik nie ...
Vir die wat ag slaan op ander se droomgesigte. Hier is 'n droomgesig van Pieter-Jan van Zyl wat hy op 14-02-2004 ontvang het. Die oomblik toe ek hoor van die ABSA transaksie het ek skielik hiervan onthou. Neem sommer kennis dat ek hierdie droomgesig reeds gedurende April verlede jaar afgelaai het van die internet en dat daar op daardie stadium nog geen sprake was van sodanige oorname deur Barclays nie:
Ek sien die blou hande van Sanlam gaan oop en die blou bal val op die grond, ook ABSA gaan geraak word. Ek hoor stemme wat sê dat die pensioenfonds ook geraak word en in duie sal stort (JOËL 1:1-20). Die geelperske reëns bring ‘n goeie reëntyd, blykbaar tussen 5 en 20 duim. Ek sien ook die maan word weer swart en ons graansoorte staan knie-diep in die water, wat gaan maak dat ons winter swart sal wees. Ons sal water hê om te drink maar ons gaan min of niks voedsel hê om te eet. Dit alles sal plaasvind voor die finale stryd , voor ons vryheid aanbreek. DAN SIEN EK DIE VOLGENDE GEDEELTES JESAJA 55:1-13, AMOS 4:7, ESÉGIËL 12:18-19, KLAAGLIEDERE 1 EN 5, JESAJA 4:1-6, JESAJA 44:3-28.
Ek dink dit mag dalk nodig wees om te probeer vasstel wie die beherende aandeel in Barclays hou. Wel ek glo nie dit gaan my werklik verbaas wanneer mens seker hierdie antwoord kry nie ...
My voorstel aan julle almal: Kom uit die skuld uit !
Re: ABSA oorname deur Barclays
Ek stem heeltemal saam dat die oorname 'n ander verskuilde agenda het.
Dit wys vir my ons het nog nooit van die britse juk ontslae geraak nie - hulle duisende van ons vrouens en kinders vermoor in die konsentrasie kampe nou gaan hulle weer duisende vermoor deur ekonomiese swaarkry.
Ons kan hierdie maar dophou - dit is die aanhelpers van die blanke se verarming.
So terloops ek sal graag wil weet of daar nog enige groot maatskappye is wat in die boer se hand is - die kaalstropers is besig om al ons bates te roof en te plunder.
Barclays geskiedenis in RSA
On 9 August 1890, De Nationale Bank der Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek Beperkt was founded in the Transvaal. The name of the bank was changed to the National Bank of South Africa (NBSA) in 1902. In 1910, the NBSA acquired the National Bank of the Orange River Colony (founded 1871), which had taken over the Bloemfontein Bank (founded 1862). In 1912 NBSA amalgamated with the Bank of Africa (founded 1879), which had absorbed the Oriental Bank (founded 1873), the Eastern Province Bank (founded 1838) and the Port Elizabeth Bank (founded 1846). In 1914, NBSA absorbed the Natal Bank (founded 1854).
In 1919 Barclays bought shares in NBSA as part of the grand vision of Frederick Goodenough (Barclays Chairman 1917-1934) to establish a commercial bank for the British Empire, providing its citizens with domestic banking facilities along British lines throughout the sterling area, and able to transfer funds through London to any part of the bank as desired.
Goodenough established a working agreement with the Colonial Bank (founded in 1836 in the West Indies) and in 1916 obtained an Act of Parliament enabling it to trade throughout the Empire. Under its chairman, Lord Beaverbrook, the Colonial extended its operations into West Africa. The third element of Goodenough’s project was the acquisition by Barclays in 1920 of the Anglo-Egyptian Bank (founded 1864), which operated in Egypt and the Mediterranean.
The whole plan came to fruition in 1925 with the amalgamation of The National Bank of South Africa, the Colonial Bank and the Anglo-Egyptian Bank to form Barclays Bank (Dominion, Colonial and Overseas), or DCO. In 1926 DCO had 110 offices in the Cape Province, 40 in Natal, 62 in the Orange Free State, 109 in Transvaal and 29 outside the Union.
In South West Africa (later Namibia), NBSA had opened branches in Windhoek and other towns, taking over from the Deutsche-Afrika Bank of the former German colony. Under DCO, control of the business expanded, with 32 offices being opened by 1964.
The 1960s witnessed a rising tide of protest in Britain against the apartheid policy of the regime in South Africa. This was directed partly against companies with a presence or a commercial interest in the country. Barclays was one of these companies, but despite student protests at branches, the bank argued a policy of opposing apartheid from within South Africa, maintaining its presence there as a more influential means of supporting change – notwithstanding a great deal of commercial hostility from the South African government:
"There should be no doubt about Barclays attitude to apartheid. We have repeatedly declared our conviction that apartheid is economically and morally wrong. We have supported these declared principles with determined action. As a result we have been far from popular with the Nationalist Government…. We respect the views of those who sincerely believe that Barclays and other companies should pull out…. We believe with equal sincerity that this is a misguided view and not in the best interests of all the people of South Africa."
[General Manager’s letter to local directors, 20 October 1972]
On 1 October 1971, Barclays National Bank (BNB) was incorporated in Johannesburg to take over the business of DCO in South Africa and South West Africa. It was a wholly owned subsidiary of Barclays Bank International (name changed from Barclays Bank DCO in 1971) and had 856 offices. BNB's chairman, AS Aiken, described apartheid as "an evil which needs to be removed if reasonable prosperity, with a rise in the standard of living for all races, is to be maintained." He cited the bank's equal pay policy and successful negotiation with the government in obtaining permission to employ black clerical staff in the Cape, as well as serving 700,000 black customers, as evidence of Barclays efforts to overcome apartheid in its operations.
Barclays gradually reduced its shareholding in Barclays National Bank from 100% in 1971 to 84% in 1975, 55% in 1983 and 50.4% in 1984. In 1985, Barclays reduced its share to 40.4% as a result of raising capital through a share-issue and Barclays National Bank became an associate, rather than a subsidiary of Barclays Bank PLC.
On 24 November 1986, Barclays announced it was disinvesting from South Africa with the sale of its remaining stake of 40.4% in Barclays National Bank. A substantial proportion of the 29 million shares were sold to the Anglo-American Corporation and its affiliates De Beers and Southern Life at a price of R18 a share, a discount of 20% on the prevailing market price. 4.8 million shares went to existing shareholders on the basis of one share for every four held, and the balance to other South African institutions. The bank became First National Bank of Southern Africa on 30 September 1987.
The reasons given for the departure from South Africa by John Quinton, Chairman-designate of Barclays Bank PLC, were:
“The lack of progress towards fairness and freedom in South Africa… brought the bank to the conclusion that it is no longer in the interests of Barclays and its shareholders that we should stay in that unhappy country.”
In 1995, Barclays reopened in South Africa as a fully licensed subsidiary, Barclays Bank of South Africa Limited. In 1997, a strategic review concluded that Barclays Group’s strategic emphasis in South Africa would increasingly be towards the investment banking and capital markets trading opportunities.
By 2000, Barclays had offices in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban. In March 2003 it was announced that Barclays Africa and Middle East would relocate its headquarters and 100 jobs from London to Johannesburg as part of its increased focus on Africa, bringing the business even closer to the African market. Furthermore, in August 2003 Barclaycard became the first foreign-owned operation to enter the South African retail market when it launched its Manchester United card in collaboration with Standard Bank.
Since then, Barclays has expanded rapidly in South Africa – and is still growing. The current staff complement is 450, offering full corporate and merchant banking, business banking, and offshore and wealth management capabilities.

Hul logo is die Feniks:
The Phoenix: this is one of their highest military and spiritual symbols. If you see a German eagle, too, this is a huge sign. Certain companies will use a phoenix as their logo, especially red on black, or the reverse, this is a huge sign, since the Illuminati use many resuscitation rituals in their training, where the person is brought into a death, or near death state, then "resuscitated" and told that Baal, or some other entity, "gave them life" and they owe their new life to him and the group. Thus, the phoenix is a huge trigger and symbol
'n Paar van Barclays se voorwaardes:
The criteria used to determine FDI merit close consideration, particularly in the light of the Barclays' deal. They include economic growth with special focus on privatisation prospects. Liberalisation of trade policies and political stability are heavily weighted. Shadowing this is a strong interest in the independence and reliability of the judiciary. Natural resources, literacy levels and infrastructure development also command attention. In choosing to invest $5,5 billion in South Africa, Barclays stated that it was encouraged by good growth prospects, sound macroeconomic fundamentals, "a first-class regulatory framework and a stable political environment", (Business Report, May 10).

UK bank has sights on FNB
The banking sector's worst kept secret is out, writes E-Briefs, with news that another British bank is chasing a stake in the sector. According to a Business Times report, speculation that emerging market spec ialist Standard Chartered is to follow in the wake of British rival Barclays, which hopes to make a partial offer for Absa, is on the button. It quotes senior bankers as saying First National Bank, the main operating unit of integrated financial services group FirstRand, is likely to be sold - whole or in part - to Standard Chartered, the London-based spec ialist bank that generates 96% of its earnings outside the UK. It says talks started late last year between Standard Chartered CE Mervyn Davies and GT Ferreira, Laurie Dippenaar and Paul Harris, the triumvirate who run FirstRand and own the largest private portion of its shares, after Standard Chartered learnt it was the underbidder for the Absa stake. The report suggests FirstRand fuelled the notion it was happy to facilitate a deal, despite its management's denials, when it restructured the group into two streamlined divisions - banking and insurance. It also decided to merge FNB Corporate and FNB Retail under one management team. However, Business Times says that in marked contrast to the, at times, clumsy way that Barclays has approached its Absa deal, Standard Chartered has maintained a discreet profile, and details remain sketchy.

Ek weet nie veel van hierdie dinge af nie. Maar ek weet wel dat Engeland al jare lank agter SA se minerale rykdom aan is. Ons moet ook onthou dat Engeland die swart kommuniste gesteun het en bewapen het teen ons in die apartheidsjare. Engeland het ‘n defnitiewe agenda en ek dink die swart komuniste is net ‘n pion. Engeland is nog altyd agter SA se mineraalrykdomme aan. Waarom sou hulle van plan verander het? Different time, same agenda? Eers moedig hulle die swart regering aan om oor te neem en verwoesting te saai en dan wanneer dit onregeerbaar is, is dit mos makliker vir Engeland om oor te neem. Hulle dink seker hulle kon dit nie regkry toe die wittes aan bewind was nie, miskien gaan dit makliker nadat die swartes dit heeltemal verwoes het.
Ek dink Engeland het al van voor 1994 ‘n vinger in die paai met die gebeure in SA wat sal lei na hul eindoel. Dit is o.a. hulle wat die ekonomie kunsmatig aan die lewe hou en hulle wat sorg dat al die propaganda uitgaan. Hulle propageer dat die rand sterk en stabiel is en so goed doen om sodoende beleggings te stimuleer en expats met baie geld terug te lok. Dink julle dis die swartes wat alles uitdink?
Hierdie is die tyd waarin mense nie moet skuld he of maak nie. Lewe dan maar liewer soos armgatte.
