One Year of Silence

Tags

Afrikaners, Donald Trump, South Africa

It is true that I have had one year of silence on this blog. In December of 2020 I published my last entry on the AmaBhulu blog. Roundabout that time my mother’s newly returned cancer hijacked our family. She had originally been diagnosed with oral cancer on 1 October 2016, but fought that into remission in 2017. By end 2019 it was back and they could only provide limited radiation treatment, which pushed it back by about one more year.

Given that this last stage was during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown here in British Columbia with the hospitals in a crisis, it was decided that we would nurse my mother, Nickie, here in our home. We thought this both sensible and considerate. Hospital beds were scarce and most attention went to the crisis stricken terminal COVID patients. Cancer took very much a second seat. I’m sure time will tell how many postponed cancer diagnoses and treatments led to preventable deaths.

In the very last week before her passing we received round-the-clock nursing attendance. By far the best nurse we had was a black lady from Jamaica who took one look at the situation and took command. I was 100% happy to follow her instructions. She did things “softly but firmly with a smile”. Along the way, we also had in-home support staff from Nigerian immigrants, who were great fun to deal with under terrible circumstances. One lady was called Lobola and I could explain to her what that meant in isiXhosa (bridewealth”). Her eyes went wide and she said that in Nigeria it meant “wealth”. So, Africa is a small place. I could speak to these ladies in a way I could not communicate with regular Canadians. Their faces lit up the moment I started talking to them. It was a small point of light in a dark time.

It has taken a long time to adapt to the sudden quiet in this house. After all, there are three relationships among three people, but only one among two, so there is now one third of the previous joint activity. Nickie’s influence on this home and on the community was huge. The Sunday after her passing, the sermon in our church was pretty much based on “What would Nickie have said?” After all, she had pointed out Biblical facts to the minister and to the assistant pastor who led the Church Meet. Condolences came from Canada, the United States, Britain, Germany and South Africa. She had touched many people’s lives.

Having shared almost every moment of the last months of her life, I can tell you that my mother gave up on life the moment Donald Trump lost the election in the USA. Until then she was quite lively, and asked every day to see what he had done that day and which of his demonstrably evil political enemies he had “slammed down” that day. She equated him to the character Trompie in South African culture, a very naughty boy with a heart of gold. On the other hand, she often said, “No, my child, he should not have said that.” The next day she would ask, “My Child, what has Trompie done today?” However, she even shut up her Church Meet group when they launched into their unthinking knee-jerk anti-Trump rants, which many Canadians seemed to think their duty. Facts did not seem to mean much to them. I do not think South Africans are capable of believing what extreme garbage was dished up to the lamentably unthinking North American public. It boggles the imagination and revolts me to this day. And much of it is now being revealed for what it really was by the Durham Probe in the US. Nickie is probably smiling in vindication.

I think I have now dwelt enough on the passing of this special lady who commanded so much respect from everyone she touched, the Afrikaner Farm Girl who had literally jumped over a cobra, who had broken the glass ceiling, who had won her own face-offs with both the Church and the Police, who had survived a terrorist attack by the ANC, and who outlived both Mandela and his terrorist chief, Joe Modise. I only wish the circumstances of her passing were more positive and that we could have had a proper funeral service. COVID made it impossible.

I am ready to proceed with the AmaBhulu Blog again. I am starting with a recent livestream with Scott Balson of Loving Life and with an interview with a great friend of civilized South Africans, Alex Newman, on his Sentinel Report.

Senekal! o’ Senekal!

Afrikaners, Cyril Ramaphosa, Donald Trump, Farm Attacks, Julius Malema

—The word “Senekal” will live on in South African culture and history. It is here that the history of Post-Apartheid South Africa finally turned. And the word “Senekal” shall become a Rallying Cry. 

Senekal is a peaceful little town on the Free State Prairie of South Africa. Nothing is supposed to ever happen in Senekal. One is supposed to hear the corn grow. The montage above captures the feel of the general district; it is a world of of wide vistas, fields of wheat, corn, or sunflower, tractors, combine harvesters, grain silos, and church steeples. This is the Midwest and Prairie of South Africa, a world of John Deere and Massey Ferguson. The local farmers are no-nonsense folks with big hearts, a firm handshake, and a word that counts for something. They are devout Calvinist Christians, typically belonging to the Dutch Reformed Church. Midwestern American Presbyterians would feel quite comfortable with these folks and in that church.

The events of the first two weeks of October 2020 in Senekal would rattle the ANC government of the country, parade its incompetence for the world to see, expose the far left EFF party as the cowardly fraud it is, and lead to an amalgamation of the civilized Western-oriented forces against the Communist-controlled Kleptocracy called “government”. On 6 October 2020 in Senekal, the White people of South Africa would find their collective Voice after 26 years of “staggering wordlessly through the Sinai” from outrage to misery to outrage. And they would be supported by people of all other races.

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.

A Good Man Speaks Out

African National Congress (ANC), Afrikaners, Farm Attacks, United States

— Alex Newman is an American freelance journalist who is best known for his articles in the New American. He is one of the dismally few Americans who have a working grasp of the realities of South Africa. He has warned for decades about the ANC. Like myself, he sees in the events in South Africa a dire warning for the United States and the entire West. The kind of forces that brought about the collapse of Western Civilization in South Africa are at work in North America and Europe. I have written quite a bit about that, and it is the thesis of my book AmaBhulu.

Newman has published in the past week a new extended video on the subject of South Africa that I believe the whole world needs to see. THIS LINK will take the reader to the video. It addresses essentially the same issue. He quite correctly refers to the Afrikaner as the American’s Closest Cousin on Earth. The parallels are quite uncanny.

As a proven friend of South Africa and a man I have dealt with quite bit, he should be taken seriously. We’ve done joint interviews and have spoken at the same conferences. He is a man to reckon with and to count on. It should be mentioned that it is Alex who contacted me, seeking help for refugee South Africans. His heart is solidly in the right place.

Of course he and I differ on some points, particularly as regards US politics and the characters who populate it, but that is a healthy difference of views between mature people — something that is no longer possible in South Africa.

I think we all know a good man when we meet him, and Alex is every inch that man.

Black American meets African American

Afrikaners, Farm Attacks, Slaves, South Africa, United States

— The Rumours of my demise are Highly Exaggerated

— I have neglected my blog over the past two months for two reasons. Firstly, I have been totally consumed by matters relating to the Western Cape Option that I presented in the previous article of May 2019. Secondly, I have taken a break that took me to the Southeastern United States. I would like to share two little events that took place on that trip.

The first relates to who we are as non-Ba’Ntu South Africans and the second relates to whether the situation in South Africa is entering the general awareness of Americans. Always remember, the ANC came to power because of awareness about South African matters in the USA from 1984 to 1994. The instigators of that awareness were Desmond Tutu and Randall Robinson; mostly the latter. They engineered all the pressure on the country and the withdrawal of its international loan and credit facilities. That is what pushed FW de Klerk to take the steps he did in 1990. After 1994, Americans lost interest – the collective American attention span is, unfortunately, almost criminally short.

At the National Air & Space Museum

We had just finished going through the Smithsonian’s National Air & Space Museum (picture below). Desperate to avoid the worst of the heat, we got two seats at a table in the Museum’s cafeteria. At one point my wife got up to go and buy an ice cream, and I turned to talk to the gentleman sitting next to me. His wife was across the table from him.

He was from Mississippi and Louisiana and his wife was from New Orleans proper. I asked her whether that meant that she was specifically from across Lake Pontchartrain. She smiled and confirmed, adding that the husband may claim to be from Louisiana, but that does not allow him to say he is from New Orleans. He turned out to be a US Army veteran.

They asked me where we were from and I explained that we were from Vancouver in Canada. She got the classic incredulous expression on her face and so I explained that we’d been living in Vancouver for 19 years, and were originally from South Africa. And then I added with a smile, “So, at this table I am the African American and you are Black Americans. You are not allowed to steal my title!”

Their faces lit up, and a conversation followed about the US, South Africa, Racism in the US, etc. In the process, the husband explained how, when he was a kid, the Ku Klux Klan held a gathering in full regalia on their school grounds and no one in authority at the school seemed to think anything of it. She explained how she reads White folks in America. For my part, I explained the origin of the White folks in SA, and told them that, in South Africa, it is the White folks who have the slave ancestors, not the Black Ba’Ntu South Africans, some of whom, such as the amaXhosa, had enslaved other Black South Africans in the past.

When I told them about my ancestor Isabella van Angola, the discussion turned to Genealogy and DNA. Both husband and wife whipped out their cell phones and showed me their DNA maps. He had Angolan ancestry and she had Mozambican, and also Nordic. I explained about the Portuguese Slave Trade and how they never took slaves in what is now South Africa. I explained that there is pretty much no such thing as an Afrikaner without slave ancestry; usually Indian or Indonesian, but sometimes African, myself being an example. I explained how my wife’s Basson Stammutter, Angela van Bengale, was an Indian slave who was manumitted and died a rich woman with several slaves of her own. In the end, the conversation went on for close on 90 minutes. We could not get enough of one another’s company.

We need to talk

I maintain that Americans with “black” skins are just that, namely Black Americans, they are not African-Americans. They have little to do with Africa other than an ancestor as far back as my Isabella van Angola. However, I was born in Africa and live on the continent of America, making me the African-American in the room. Every Black American I have ever spoken to about this has very much appreciated me making that distinction. They do not wish to be “hyphenated” based on skin colour, and I respect that. I also resent it that Liberal White Americans have sentenced my folks to death for the sins their own great-grandparents committed and which mine never did. A guilty conscience is a terrible thing.

In the above conversation lies a message for South Africans. If I as Afrikaner can have this conversation with a Black American family in the very heart of the United States, a few hundred yards from the White House, then pray tell, what makes it so difficult to have that conversation in South Africa? White and Brown/Coloured folks in SA who do not see each other as having common ancestors, need to reflect on this, preferably with the Bible and a copy of their family genealogy in their hands. They need to do this before they sentence their innocent children to a lingering isolationist death because of their prejudice, bullheaded denial of the truth, and inability to move on from an unjust past. If they do not, the world will reject them as sure as I am alive, and by now they have surely already seen what that means.

The Declaration of Independence

When we left the Museum building, the temperature outside was 38ºC— so hot and so humid that the crows were in a terrible state, and the humans not much better. I thought I should digitally immortalize a desperately distressed Washington crow that was stumbling about haphazardly on the ground. With what seemed like its last ounce of energy, it fluttered awkwardly onto the lowest branch of a tree (below). There it panted for dear life with drooping wings. So warm dat die kraaie in die koelte gaap .

So we rushed to the National Archives (below) to see the Declaration of Independence, which I regard, beyond the Bible, as being the primary document defining Western civilization — a document that guides my own thinking. It is a marvel of human expression. South Africans can surely take their lead from the famous Preamble to that key document:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

At the Waterfall

We flew from Washington to Charlotte, North Carolina, and rented a car. From Charlotte we made our way to Asheville in the Smoky Mountains (below), where we spent the night.

The following day we drove along the Blue Ridge Parkway through beautiful forests with spectacular views over the never-ending mountains trailing off to the horizon. Eventually we turned south onto a local but popular route and got to the Looking Glass Waterfall (below). Cars were parked along the road for around a kilometre and we had to walk back quite a distance for a view of the falls.

I started chatting with a gentleman roughly my own age, commenting about the falls. He asked me where I was from and I told him “Vancouver, Canada”. He then asked about my accent and I told him that I was born in South Africa. Out of the blue he stated, “I’m very unhappy about the way White farmers are being murdered in South Africa. That is just plain terrible and we hear nothing about that on our TV. But, then again, I gave up on our US News Media years ago.”

So, is the truth getting to Americans?

If a single gentleman at a waterfall in North Carolina is anything to go by, then “Yes, but painfully slowly“, and distinctly DESPITE their Formal News Media.

Report to EU Parliament on South Africa

Tags

Afrikaners, European Parliament, Farm Attacks, Formal Media, Land expropriation without compensation

— Stuart Agnew (far left above) is a man of his word. I recently reported on the visit by a two-man European Parliament delegation to South Africa. Agnew, a British EU Parliament Member, was one of the two members of that delegation. He has now delivered his report to the European Parliament as promised. The details may be read HERE.

Any reasonable person will realise by now that a Racist Communist farm nationalisation process is taking place in South Africa, and that only farms owned by white people are targeted. But there are three factors that the Formal Media insists on warping, and they are (1) the scope of land ownership; (2) the rate of murder of White Farmers; and (3) the nature of the attacks. The Media will have the reader believe that White Farmers own around 80% of the land and that farm murders are insignificant and dwarfed by murders of Black people by Black people. They simply do not report the actual attacks, dutifully and sheepishly staying silent on the scope of the horror.

One does one’s best to explain the realities, but it seems most people on Earth are mathematically challenged, particularly when they do not WANT to hear the truth. So, it is with overwhelming gratitude that I note Mr. Agnew’s very direct statement of the facts on these three matters.

Who owns the land?

Firstly, on land ownership Mr. Agnew states:

 In reality, the State owns 22% of all land and a further 24% is owned by trusts. There are 4,000 unallocated farms on the Government’s books awaiting distribution.

What he does not mention is that those trusts include for example the Ingonyama Trust by which King Goodwill Zwelethini of the amaZulu holds the land of the Zulu people, where White farmers may not farm. They also may not farm in the Transkei where the land is similarly collectively held for the isiXhosa-speaking people of Mandela.

The Rate of murder of White Farmers

Mr. Agnew then goes on to address the matter of the actual rate of farm murders. The typical behaviour of the ANC government, and therefore the near-sycophantic media such as BBC and CNN, is to report that far more Black people are murdered than White Farmers. Well, finally we have here an Englishman who has managed to see through the “eyewash” the government and media are spraying on his face. He states openly that this BBC/CNN kind of “spin” (my words) is “disingenuous”:

We were based in Pretoria and drove out to venues east of the city to meet politicians, police stations, farmers union leaders, farm watch organisers, race relations organisations, private investigators and, of course, survivors of farm attacks. To put the problem in perspective, the murder rate in most countries is under five people per 100,000 of the population, in South Africa as a whole it is ten per 100,000 and for White farmers it is 132 per 100,000.

Further down the article, he states:

Police numbers are inadequate due to budget constraints and they themselves get killed in urban gang conflicts to the tune of 50 per 100,000 per year.

So, in order to get these numbers straight,

• Out of every 100,000 South Africans, ten are killed every year.
• Out of every 100,000 Policemen, around 50 are killed every year.
• Out of every 100,000 White Farmers, 132 are killed every year.

The Nature of the Farm Attacks.

Mr. Agnew then makes the nature of the horror very clear when he describes the actual farm attacks:

The third category ‘racial terrorism and genocide’ involves gratuitous sadism prior to assassination. Terrorists will break into a property and wait for the arrival of a White person(s). Tortures include burning after being doused in fuel, emersion of limbs in scalding water, being ‘ironed’ with a hot electric iron,being drilled through hands and feet with an electric drill, conventional rapes and rapes using broom handles or broken bottles. A baby was microwaved.

I can add that they have also drowned children in boiling water and, more recently, covered the victims’ heads in cloth and then poured boiling water over the cloth. I do not even know where to list cases in which victims had 151 stab wounds. It has become a competition for who can be most savage and brutal. It is Open Season on White Farmers in South Africa.

I think every farmer and decent human being in South Africa owes Stuart Agnew a huge debt of gratitude for having the depth of character to report the dead simple truth that has been outlawed by the Formal Media, such as CNN and the BBC.

To my American readers I would say, you have just seen how your media could get away with lying  over and over and over for two years about President Trump, a man who you have on your TV almost every single day and whose career you have followed for years. IMAGINE how they can lie about a small nation of largely Protestant Caucasian Christians being wiped out 8,000 miles away from your front door. They have lied to you FOR DECADES about South Africa. You need to start taking them to task on that subject, because those people being killed are your closest cousins on Earth.

Katie Hopkins the New Emily Hobhouse?

Tags

African National Congress (ANC), Afrikaners, Farm Attacks, Land expropriation without compensation

— Katie Hopkins has somehow become South Africa’s new Emily Hobhouse.

In 1901, the British Powers that Be would not believe what was happening in the British Army concentration camps in South Africa.  Afrikaner women, children and elderly were herded into these camps after the British Army had dynamited their homes, burnt their crops, and killed all their livestock. In reality, the picture below is what was happening. It shows Elizabeth van Zyl dying from malnourishment because she was put on half-rations due to her father not having surrendered. Of my Booyens relations who entered those camps, 57% died there.

Only when an Englishwoman of some Character and Principle visited the camps and disclosed the horror to the British people was anything done to reduce the death rate in the camps. She was Emily Hobhouse (below). She became an advocate for the human rights of the Afrikaner women and children. A deeply thankful Afrikaner nation eventually interred her remains at the Women’s Memorial in Bloemfontein, South Africa and named a town in that Province after her.

Now, 120 years later, the Afrikaner is in dire need of help again, and again it is the Western World and its vile Media, just as in 1899, that have connived to force on the White Afrikaner the horrors that are happening in South Africa. And again it is a concerned Englishwoman who is standing up and getting counted despite all the forces arrayed against her. I know Katie can be extremely “rough” by the standards that Afrikaners live by, but she is fighting some extremely vile forces that want Afrikaners dead, and one cannot fight an all-consuming fire with pixie dust.

I submit Katie Hopkins has become the Afrikaners’ new Emily Hobhouse.

The image below shows the Women’s memorial in Bloemfontein, South Africa.

I trust Katie understands how thankful this little nation is for her efforts on their behalf. Just watch her describe on a Dutch TV programme the situation of the Afrikaner and the principled stand of the farmers; to her the situation is “Biblical” and one sees her emotion on the subject. I also submit that the Dutch might want to ponder how it is that the “New Emily Hobhouse” is not one of their own ladies. They are, after all, the ancestral nation of the Afrikaners and the originators of the language of the Afrikaners.

Katie is right. Thank you for having a heart, ma’am.

The Afrikaner Boer to Inspire the West – Katie Hopkins

Tags

Afrikaners, Donald Trump, Farm Attacks, Land expropriation without compensation, South Africa, United States

— In a presentation at the David Horowitz Freedom Center Restoration Weekend  in November 2018 in Sherman Oaks, California, the firebrand British Conservative, Katie Hopkins, talked about the threat to the values of the West. I am not as “Far Right” as Katie, but near the end of her presentation she posed a question, “What can we put our faith in?“. And this is when she turned to her experience in South Africa early in 2018. She found her inspiration in the Faith that the Afrikaner Boer (farmer) has in his God and his Land. And it is inspiring to hear her speak with such passion and conviction on the subject. Click on that link and listen!

She did warn in the previous year that she was going to spend time with South African farmers, and she did.

I have to say that I never thought I would live to experience the day that an Englishwoman would find her Faith and inspiration via the ordinary Afrikaner Boer; the men who really created South Africa out of the unforgiving blood-soaked rock of Africa.

That country is now being utterly destroyed by the “former” Listed Terrorist Organization that is now its government. Those farmers live in fear of their and their families’ lives every minute of every day. At the same time, that “government” threatens them every minute of every day. Thousands have been murdered, many of them tortured to death, the most threatened group of people in the most dangerous place supposedly “at peace” on earth.

To Americans I say, perhaps President Trump could similarly take inspiration from these men of Faith who stand so solidly by their convictions on the Outer Wall of Civilization. As Katie rightly says, they are a glimpse into the future of the West. The forces now destroying the White people of South Africa are coming for Europe and North America.

Consider yourselves warned.

White Farmer Killings & Persecutions, South Africa

Tags

African National Congress (ANC), Afrikaners, Farm Attacks, Land expropriation without compensation

— On 27 February 2019 I did an interview with Sarah Westall on the subject of what is going on in South Africa. We were let down somewhat by the vagaries of Skype, which always seems to cough and splutter just when a clear transmission is imperative; this despite my high technology equipment.

The interview comes in two parts and was posted yesterday:
PART 1
PART 2

Sarah’s webpage on the subject is HERE.

For those who would like to have later history addressed, I’d be entirely happy to continue the discussion. We really only got as far as 1814. I personally believe one of the basic problems in South Africa to be that many people seem to think the history of the country starts in 1948. By the middle of 1990 most of the discriminatory laws on the ground had been repealed.  In fact, the period from 1948 to 1990 is no more than about 11% of the history of the country since the Dutch arrived. I submit it is important to understand the other 89% of that history and I’d welcome the opportunity to discuss this…. warts and all.

But here’s the thing, and there is no way to get around it:

• It took 320 years to build the country;
• It took 18 years for the international community to grind it into the ground ;
• It took three years of subsequent political mayhem; and then
• it took the ANC government just 25 years to destroy the results of 320 years’ worth of hard work handed to them on a silver platter.

Along the way we had a stupid and insensitive White government. But it was competent. Now the place has a stupid and insensitive Black government, and it is incompetent.

The thing is, I do not remember White National Party leaders dancing on stage singing “Shoot to kill! Kiss/ll the Black, the Ba’Ntu! P-r-r-r-r pow! pow!“.  In fact, I have no evidence that they could dance at all. I do not remember the National Party accusing Black nations of stealing the land of others, even though they DID EXACTLY THAT. I do not remember the National Party accusing Black South Africans of enslaving other South Africans, though the SA Black people DID DO EXACTLY THAT. Yet White South Africans have to hear this “land theft” stuff from a national president whose own people arrived in South Africa at the same time as the Dutch. — go figure!!

So, sure! Let’s talk about it!

Interview on “Connecting the Dots”

— On 26 February 2019 Alex Newman (left), freelance writer for, among others, the New American Magazine, joined me (right) on the “Connecting the Dots” show of Dan Happel (centre). The full two hour session may be heard HERE. Dan’s title for the show was “What Next? Now that the lunatics are running the asylum“, referring to the United States House of Representatives after last year’s Mid-term election and the advent in US Congress of a slew of Extreme Left Wing people. I refuse to call them “Liberals” anymore – they are simply not worthy of the term. Some are more reminiscent of Stalin than any form of Liberalism. And even the Russians moved his statue to the Fallen Monuments Park. Some of these new folks are so young that Obama was president when they got their brains. They’ve already taken to speaking utter drivel and demonstrating their inability at maths and resentment of truth and reality, which seems to come with being a Leftist these days. The old Communists could do Maths; I suspect they just refused to believe the answer. It would seem the American version of the same has serious trouble with calculators.

Bet you if one asks them who the Cold War was against, they’d say “Donald Trump”.

Forgive my sense of humour, but I’m going to hold onto it.
