Opening the Year with Scott Balson

African National Congress (ANC), Cape of Good Hope, South Africa, Western Secession

On 3 January 2022 I did another show with Scott Balson on His Loving Life channel. The Full show may be seen HERE.

My apologies go to Chief Buthelezi, who I wrongly stated had recently passed away. Too many senior characters in our history have done just that in the last year, including King Goodwill Zwelethini of the amaZulu, FW de Klerk and Desmond Tutu, in that order. For some or other reason I thought we also lost Chief Buthelezi, but he is still very much with us. I wish him well; South Africa needs more men like him. He stood up for his Zulu people when they needed him to, before the 1994 elections. It led to the involvement of Henry Kissinger and to the Ingonyama Trust, a wonderful thorn in the side of the ANC. It would have been good if some others in the list of characters had stood up for their people like that.

Interview with Alex Newman

On Wednesday 15 December 2021 I had a brief INTERVIEW with Alex Newman on his Channel, Liberty Sentinel. Alex is a decent and honorable man who loves South Africa and its people. He has lived in the country and actually knows a lot about it, which is extremely rare for an American. He often talks about the country and fully realizes that South Africa is the test case for what the Left wishes to do to America. He appreciates the historical parallels between the countries and sees South Africans as the closest cousins of Americans. The Left in the US is trying hard to shut him up and shut his efforts down. He is one of the huge number of Americans who have started seeing what ordinary South Africans have been up against for decades. They are correctly concerned for the future of their country.

The interview with me starts at exactly Minute 13 and 41 seconds.

Harry Booyens Livestream with Scott Balson

African National Congress (ANC), Julius Malema, Land expropriation without compensation, Senekal, United States

— Scott Balson is the owner of the popular South African-oriented Loving Life Youtube Channel. Today I was a guest on his Livestream and poured out my heart and brain on the subject of the country and the recent events and challenges there. He asked me about my early years, about the Cold War, about supposed Land Theft, on Western Secession, Boerestate, Politicians, and the way forward.

The 2.5 hour show may be seen HERE.

I believe the following points hold going forward:

• • Give no quarter to the EFF – just do not kill or burn them;
  • Keep the ANC governing party on its hind legs and disoriented;
  • Corral the DA and FF+ to the secession goal; offer them no escape;
  • Stay within the International Law as regards secession;
  • Get International Support à la Kosovo;
  • Keep the momentum going.

For this, unity is needed; stop the “kleindorpse verskille” (parochial differences). Basically, cut the crap and the egos! People are dying here! Some unity has now been found after 26 years via Senekal and Brackenfell.

Momentum! Momentum! Momentum! … Remember Senekal!

The Great Trek – Part 2: 1837-1841

Tags

Farm Attacks, Great Britain & South Africa, Land expropriation without compensation, South Africa, United States, Zimbabwe

— The Great Trek is an epic saga in all of Western History. I have now published Chapter 9 in the series Who Stole the Land? The detailed story of what happened in Natal when the Trekkers got there may be read HERE. In this chapter the reader discovers that there were Brits, ex-slaves, and gun-armed amaCele warriors led by an Englishman INSIDE the laager (wagon circle) at the seminal Battle of Blood River. The reader will also learn about the interesting multi-national force, composed of not just the Trekkers, but at least three and possibly four Black nations, including Mpande’s amaZulu (the majority of the force), who worked together to ultimately defeat Dingane.

There was just not enough space to still include the complaint of the (Mpande) Zulu general, Nonkalaza, about the fact that the Trekkers were not killing all their enemy. The mercy shown by the devoutly Christian Trekkers and their refusal to kill women and children did not sit well in the least with the tough Zulu general.

This is the chapter that explains how my birthday became a permanent Sunday in South Africa. The blow-by-blow account of the Battle of Blood River on 16 December 1838 may be read in AmaBhulu.

“America must Fall” – Part 2

Tags

Farm Attacks, Land expropriation without compensation, Media, South Africa, United States

— On 29 April 2017 I wrote the following words on this Blog:

Today they will tear down Robert E. Lee
– perhaps tomorrow Thomas Jefferson,
– next week Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington,
– and then every statue of anyone who looks Caucasian,
… just as in South Africa.
Welcome to “America must Fall”.

Some American folks remembered this, and in the last few weeks I have twice been interviewed on the subject.

This past Tuesday, 18 August 2020, Alex Newman of The New American interviewed me on the subject of the parallels between South Africa and the United States and how the present unrest in the United States was imported from South Africa.

Alex actually lived in South Africa for a while and is a wonderful supporter of the efforts of South Africans to find justice and hope in this world. The interview was planned to be just fifteen minutes, but somehow got a life of its own and grew to about fifty.

The full interview is now available online HERE.

I shall be posting another that took place five weeks ago.

Who stole the Land?: The Great Trek- Part 1

Tags

Afrikaners, Cape of Good Hope, Democracy, Land expropriation without compensation, The Great Trek

— The Great Trek is one of the most epic sagas in all of Western History. Today I release Chapter 8: The Great Trek (Part1) [click] in my series Who stole the Land. The series was initiated as my response to the detestable idea of the present Black Racist ANC government of South Africa to steal the legally acquired land of white people because they are white. This chapter covers the period 1836 to late 1837, focusing on the early Trekkers, their arrangements with black chiefs, their proper acquisition of land in what would become the Free State, and their first three clashes with Mzilikazi, the Terror of the Plains. It introduces the main Trekker leaders and records Piet Uys’ dream of a United States in Southern Africa.

I have elected to divide the Great Trek into two parts, the second dealing with events in Natal and across the Vaal River. Americans might well call these folks “Trailblazers” or “Pathfinders”, but is a little different when one tries to do that in Africa and one finds oneself attacked by thousands upon thousands of deadly, disciplined, and highly trained Zulu warriors. An American wagon circle attacked by a few Plains Indian (First Nations) braves on ponies is just simply not the same thing, folks.

The Canadian historian Theal observed that it was those who had lost most and suffered most who were least inclined to return to the comparative safety of the Birtish-run Cape Colony. I believe it takes an American to understand this last statement. Nevertheless, let the record show that some British Settlers also joined in the Great Trek, such as the Liversage family. There were lots of British Settlers who had become “Afrikaners by the heart and English by mouth”, but they were subject to different rules, as was described in Chapter 5.

I suggest folks actually read the references I provide and check things for themselves. I put a massive amount of work into providing those from online sources at places people do not usually look.

Herewith, I start on Chapter 9, which will take several weeks. As always, history is far more fascinating than fiction writers could ever dream up. And, somewhere back there, is the truth that politicians never want to face and can’t afford to hear.

Who Stole the Land? – Status Check

Tags

Cape of Good Hope, Imperial Great Britain, Land expropriation without compensation, South Africa

— In March 2018, I made available the first five chapters of my online series, Who Stole the Land?. Since then, I added two extensive chapters focusing on:

Chapter 6:  The World of the Black People before the Mfecane: 1816 (added Nov. 2018), and….

Chapter 7: The Mfecane – Twenty years of Hell on Earth: 1816-1836 (added early 2019), describing the horrors suffered by the other Black nations in the wake of the creation of the Zulu nation.

And then I ground to a shuddering halt for a number of reasons, including matters of health in the family, other issues in respect of South Africa, and sheer volume of work in respect of my daily bread. I had no choice but to set this series aside for a while.

I have now returned to the subject, at least in part due to folks having contacted me to inquire as to the rest of the series. In starting on Chapter 8: The Great Trek, I realised that a huge part of what I had just written fits better into Chapter 5, and that a part of the original Chapter 5 fits better with Chapter 8.

I have therefore drastically expanded Chapter 5: The British Cape Frontier before the Great Trek: 1799-1836. (Click Link to read)

I hereby invite the readers of this Blog to return to Chapter 5 and read it again. It has been adapted to take one through a period of considerable upheaval at the Cape Colony between 1799 and 1836. It explains the background to the Great Trek that would ultimately determine the shape of South Africa today. There are certain parallels to South Africa at the present time, in which resentment is starting to reach a boiling point.

Chapter 8 on the Great Trek will pick up exactly where Chapter 5 leaves off to first fetch the story of the Black people by means of chapters 6 and 7. By the end of Chapter 7, in this new arrangement, the reader will be in 1836, both as regards the Black People and as regards the Cape Colony, then governed by Imperial Britain. And then, some weeks from now, I shall set the wheels rolling over the Orange River into the country of bleached human skeletons and cannibals described in Chapter 7.

Enjoy….. or weep, as the case may be. But, remember, history and the truth are often far more outrageous and exciting than fiction. If Hollywood tried to make up the truthful history of the South Africa lived by my ancestors, it simply would not be believed. Then again, since when have people in the Northern Hemisphere believed the history of South Africa? They have always preferred to make it up to suit their narrative.

Dan Happel and Four Afrikaners

Two Sundays

— On 1 March 2020, Dan Happel, host of Connecting the Dots, had me as guest on his show. On this, the first of two shows, we were joined by Brendi Wells, the South African-born wife of John Wells. John operates a show in the USA called Caravan to Midnight. Our further South African-based guest was Hendrik de Ryke who keeps us apprised of the situation on the ground in South Africa. A recording of our show is HERE. Since I shared the effort with others, I should confirm that, as always, I speak for myself and no other individual and I make up my own mind about any matter based on proper evidence.

I was 40 minutes late for the show, which, at my request, had been opened with a YouTube clip of Bobby Kennedy addressing a liberal NUSAS student audience in 1966 in Cape Town. This speech of his would start 54 years of misunderstandings about the reality in South Africa and wrongly extrapolated parallels with the situation that pertained in the USA in 1966.

We discussed various matters related to South Africa, alternating between Brendi, Hendrik, and myself to answer questions posed by Dan. I arrived too late to put the matter of slavery in context. I did explain to Dan afterward that there were indeed slaves in South Africa in the early days, but none of them were indigenous South African people.

The guest for the show after ours could not make it, and so I volunteered to remain on the air for ANOTHER HOUR, as I had come late.

The Second Show

A week later, on 8 March, we did the second of the two planned shows. On this occasion we were joined by Jason Bartlett, who, as folks will know, is walking from Austin, Texas to Washington DC in the hope of making the deplorable situation of the farmers in South Africa clear to President Trump. I have reported on this BEFORE.

This particular show is recorded HERE.

My Thanks

My thanks go to Dan Happel. I do not believe he would mind me copying here a line from his latest e-mail to me.

I will stand with you, my friend, as a watchman on the wall.

My response was, “Don’t look now, but you have just explained why, when all is said and done, my faith is in Americans.”

Dan grew up in the Dutch Reformed Church in the USA. Of course, the Dutch Reformed Church is the major church of Afrikaners.

Why the Extreme Violence in South Africa?

Tags

African National Congress (ANC), Ronald Reagan, South Africa, Xenophobia

— On 8 September 2019, I joined Erin Ryan and Bill Cundiff on their US internet radio channel, WeThePeopleRadio. The subject was the “Xenophobic Violence” of Black South Africans against foreign Black people.

I addressed the matter under the following headings, providing supporting audio clips in evidence of each point:

• The Views of the so-called “Foreigners”
• The Views of the Attackers
• The Views of Julius “Ki(ll/s) the Whites” Malema
• The Attitude of the National ANC-run Police
• Where does this violence come from? (a): The 1980s
• Where does this violence come from? (b): The Mfecane of 1816-1836

The reader can find the entire two hour show HERE. The actual content starts at minute 8:43. The audio clips played on the show are spread over some years. We hear Ghanaian business owners and mechanics complain that South African Black people “do not want to work“. We hear from a tearful and frightened young Burundian woman that she is forced to leave the country. We hear some of the “foreigners” explain how the country was better before the ANC took over in 1994. We hear the same from none other than Julius Malema. Of course Malema is also the one that said on another occasion that “we are all Makwerekwere (foreigners)“. He suffers from these bouts of message-inversion, but logic is not the strong point of Africa.

We hear the crass anti-immigrant and vividly anti-white stance of a Black ANC Deputy Police Minister. To this is added the Zulu Police Minister, Behki Cele, addressing a crowd of weapon wielding men from the hostels in Johannesburg. This leads to questions about the ethnic Zulu component of this violence.

We trace the violence back to the 1980s when the ANC was doing its absolute damnedest to destabilize the country. We hear an ANC comrade explain how men he knows were spared “necklacing” by Black mobs when the “hated White Police” arrived back in the 1980s. We rely on Winnie Mandela to blurt out at Munsieville in April 1986 how she and her colleagues would “liberate the country with their necklaces“, and then we leave it to US President Ronald Reagan to describe to American readers just exactly what a “necklacing” is. Earlier, we hear how black attackers describe “necklacing” in the past few years. When a British reporter asks them why they think it is OK to do this to a fellow human being, the justify it on the basis that they “are angry”.

Finally, we take the audience back to the late 1820s during the Mfecane (The Great Crushing), when Robert Moffat of the London Missionary Society visited renegade Zulu leader, Mzilikazi of the Khumalo clan of the Zulu. By then, Mzilikazi was located at the site of the present Hartebeestpoort Dam, just west of the present Pretoria. I leave it to the present reader to listen to the excerpt I read to the audience and then decide whether it is relevant or not. In the show I do not mention that Mzilikazi also executed a brave warrior in Moffat’s presence by having him thrown off the cliff overlooking the local river to the crocodiles waiting below. The river in question, of course, is named the Crocodile River; what else? One never gets away from history.

Henry Ford famously said “History is bunk”.
Of course, Henry Ford is now history.
