The White Bloodbath in South Africa continues

Donald Trump, Farm Murder, Nelson Mandela, South Africa, United States

The year 2015 was the worst thus far as regards the murder and torture of white farmers in South Africa. The new year already has seen the killing of 15 people on farms, the latest this week. Oddly, one has to go to the Chinese media to get non-South African reporting on the matter. Perhaps it is because they now have so many people in that once proudly Western Christian country. See for example THIS report about an attack on Wednesday night. Perhaps the less I write, the better.

Please just let it be known that the photograph shows the room of the 9 year old daughter that was killed. As this Chinese report rightly points out, the government has rejected repeated calls to declare growing farm attacks a crime of priority.  One wonders what one needs to do to get the Western Media to state this. Apparently, White Lives Don’t Matter.

Meanwhile there were three farm attacks in two hours at De Wildt on Thursday night. Just another day in the life of a white family in South Africa, where the  president sings “Kill the whites” and gets no criticism from the US President.

But the man who wrote the biography of Mandela, who caused all this, now serves in Obama’s administration, so we should not be surprised. Nevertheless, a reasonable person may demand that decent Americans be outraged.

Where is Donald Trump when we need him? He knows South Africa is a dangerous mess. He said so.

Reagan – The South African Connection

Tags

Ronald Reagan, South Africa, United States

With the passing of Nancy Reagan, it brings to mind the lesser known connection between the Reagans and South Africa. When Ronald Reagan was laid to rest in the Simi Valley of California, the service  (below) was conducted by their family pastor, Dr. Michael Wenning.

Michael Wenning (July 5, 1935 – June 28, 2011) was born in South Africa and served as the senior pastor at the Bel Air Presbyterian Church from 1995 until 2001. One cannot but wonder whether Reagan’s balanced view of South Africa was at least in part due to his relationship with Michael Wenning. The Presbyterian pastor was selected to conduct the internment service after he had already finished his term at the particular church. That makes one think.

For those who doubt the late pastor’s South African roots, a few seconds of listening to his distinctly South African accent in THIS Youtube video should set matters at rest. I noticed that accent back in 2004 at the time of the service and then did the homework.

But then, all this comes from a time when men of honour were in the White House.
