Dammit! Die quietly, White Man!

Miracle above Miracle! Someone has noticed!

In 1994, during the Great South African Election, all the world’s media was in that country, hoping to see a white bloodbath and get a scoop on that. I am not the only one making that point. Richard Dowden, a man who has missed no turn to make his “obligatory” hatred of white Afrikaners quite clear, also offers the statement in his book Africa – Altered States and Ordinary Miracles.

As the country started to slide into the Heart of Darkness scenario that I have described in detail elsewhere, the torture murders of white South African farmers have dramatically increased in the country. The Black National Socialist ANC government of the country stubbornly refuses to make statistics available on such attacks. That allows it to hide the problem, and the murders are consequently escalating beyond anything any nation on earth could possibly tolerate.

The formal media has absolutely refused to report on this, except when a Dutch or British-born farmer has been killed in the country. So, it is with great interest that I have been watching not one but two international Youtube News personages set off to the country to report on exactly this subject.

Miracle above Miracle! Someone has noticed! I am in shock.

One Brit and one Canadian

Young Right-leaning Canadian YouTuber, Lauren Southern (above), has been reporting from South Africa and doing an excellent job in the process. She’s obviously very intelligent and has pretty quickly grasped the basic  issues in the country. She is not fooled the way that British newspapermen and reporters typically are, because she does not come with their obligatory left leaning BBC slant. According to that particular calibration, no black man could ever conceivably do anything wrong if a white person is involved. Lauren states things the way they really are and the way it really looks like on the ground, without first running it through a “BBC/CNN Anti-Fact” filter.

Shortly after, the outspoken British equivalent, Katie Hopkins (below), set off to South Africa to investigate the matter of farm murders for herself. I must confess, I find Lauren Southern’s reports somehow more striking. She has really gone to extraordinary lengths to get key interviews. Some of them were extremely clear, such as THIS ONE. Others will leave a lasting impression, such as this one. However. We are waiting for the actual full production video to appear.

Lauren may want to brush up on the history of the country and its various peoples. I would love to sit her down for a day and get her properly calibrated on the lay of the land, its consequent history, its demographics, its racial groups, its eleven major black nations, and on what the White Afrikaner (of any mother tongue) has been through. It is very easy to make a mistake in respect of South Africa, and no one can afford for her credibility to be dented by avoidable mistakes. I do not think the young lady stands still long enough to read my book AmaBhulu. Stefan Molyneux got his people to read it for his presentation on South Africa a few years ago. He has now interviewed her in the last three days. She does at least know about the Fish River as historic border.

Lauren’s very evident shock at what she heard and saw explains why it is pretty much impossible to explain to Americans and Canadians what is going on in South Africa. They just simply do not believe one. Their minds cannot grasp such things. They just stare at one in incomprehension. And then they avoid one; the classic  psychological defence mechanism: if one ignores a problem, it does not exist. Lauren just speaks wide-eyed about it, using the word “bizarre” over and over. I suspect she’s just had the awakening of her life. Katie is evidently equally struck.

Dammit! Die quietly, white man!

It is the internationally more well-known and famously outspoken Katie Hopkins that attracted the attention of the ANC, and they moved to try and stop her. And this brings us to the ironic fact that the ANC government accused Katie Hopkins of “Spreading Racial Hatred” and tried to impound her passport.

So, let us see: A lady reporter tries to report on the murders of white farmers by black people in a country where parliamentary members sing songs with the lyrics “Kill the farmer”, but the government insists that SHE is spreading racial hatred. Are you kidding me?

One would think that the formal media would be all over this. But I think Katie is only now starting to comprehend just how insidious the effort of this whole global Liberal cabal really is.

The position of the ANC is clearly: “Dammit! Die quietly, White Man.” Thousands of White farmers in South Africa have now “died quietly”. I think the country is past the point where people can die quietly anymore. There has to be something very profoundly amiss with the value system of people in the West if they condone the situation in South Africa any further.

Nevertheless, Katie has managed to get the word out.

Make noise, lots of noise.

White people in South Africa have to stop this mindless idiocy of just sitting there and cursing the ANC along with their neighbours at a barbecue or over a beer. “Holding the other Christian cheek” will not work either. They will just be “slapped through that cheek” as well. I wish to high heaven I can get South African Whites to understand that they need to make noise…endless noise…extreme noise…by any means they conceivably can … to anyone within earshot.

But, the typical Afrikaner has been raised not to complain and to rather just pray that all will come right. The fact is, it won’t! Help is needed from outside the country in the form of political pressure on the ANC government, but the remaining decent folks in the rest of the world DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. And I assure white South Africans that the formal media is their enemy.   Having ignored the subject completely since 1994, they now clearly seek to question whether there is a problem at all. It is time folks told this errant DNA lowlife in the formal media that they have screwed up unforgivably. In this respect, President Trump is a one-man wrecking ball for the US media and BBC, and I appreciate that.

If white South Africans think using formal channels alone will work, they are deluded. HERE is the evidence that the formal structures of the world will NOT listen. The best that will ever be obtained from them is a lament over the death of the white people in South Africa after those white folks are all conveniently dead or gone. Yes, one can follow those routes, but folks must not mislead themselves into believing that they can secure a future by only that route.

So, when people like Lauren Southern and Katie Hopkins start to take up the flag on the subject and tell the wold, I seriously suggest white South Africans start making as though they want to be heard. At the very least, they can contribute financially to the efforts of these two brave ladies who have done more for the plight of White Farmers in the country than absolutely anyone else put together, including myself, despite my best efforts.

Stop dying quietly!

Harry Booyens Interview on CCN

Tags

Afrikaners, Cape of Good Hope, Malema, South Africa

On 14 November 2017 the CCN channel (Conscious Consumer Network) did a two-hour live interview with me as the author of AmaBhulu. The hosts were Mel Ve in Portugal and Karin Smith in the United States, both of South African extraction. Click the image below to see the interview on CCN.

Having made the point that “Everything goes back to Graaff-Reinet between 1795 and  1803“, I was obliged to explain. I suspect many folks do not know that key history.  There is a lot from that period that informs the current situation in South Africa. It also neatly “strangles” a few political holy cows.

In the last quarter I am asked to address the current situation in South Africa, which I do via three key points:

---

• White folks should stay out of the fight that inevitably is coming between Black South African political factions.

---

• White South Africans need to stop thinking that they can ignore reality and they need to start making decisions about the future of their families.

---

• Those who feel unsafe should move West.

---

Since I feel strongly about some of the issues, I got a little animated (below), shall we say. But that hopefully adds a bit to the value of the interview.

Correction: I know that, as a scientist, I tend to harp a bit on facts and numbers, but I need to point out that at one point I stated that an event or situation was in “1700”, when it was entirely clear from the preceding content that I had meant to say “1800”. My apologies to the audience for misspeaking. I had the 1700s on the brain, so to speak.

Technological: As a technological person, I feel obliged to point out that the hosting technology was Zoom, which allowed me to be interviewed in my studio office in Vancouver, British Columbia. It also allowed me to share maps with the audience, though it worked less than 100% perfectly. Though my system is 1080p compatible, bandwidth constraints in running the interview among three countries  reduced the video quality.

I shall make a point of figuring out how to better share images during such interviews on Zoom.

Alex Newman about AmaBhulu

Tags

Afrikaners, amaBhulu, South Africa, United States

In a United States based video interview on 24 October 2017 with journalist and author Alex Newman on the Conscious Consumer Network (CCN) channel, Newman (below) referred extensively to the book AmaBhulu.

Co-host Karin Smith eventually held up her copy of AmaBhulu and Newman lauded it as “an incredible book.” He made a point of referring to a unique aspect of the work, namely the way it interweaves the author’s own ancestors, and eventually the experiences of the author himself, through the formally documented history of South Africa. He also addressed the matter of how the book puts to bed the myths about South Africa:

It puts to bed so many of the myths that are fundamental to what happened and what is happening, and once those myths are destroyed, all of the pretext to what is happening disappears, and that is why I encourage.. [people].. to read that book to get familiar with the history.

Earlier in the interview, Newman stated:

… I learnt more in that book about South Africa than I learnt in everything else I read about South Africa combined…you know, it’s just that I cannot recommend that book highly enough.

As author, I am also very gratified to hear Alex Newman go on record stating that he values my opinion “very very highly.” I certainly do try very hard to back up every statement I make with documentary evidence and good argument.

In the interview they touch on two points I have also made, namely that South Africa is the “Canary in the Coal Mine” of the West, and that the forces that destroyed South Africa are doing their damnedest to take down America, and thereby the West. For example, the recent efforts at taking down statues in the United States is a direct carbon copy of what happened in South Africa and may be traced step-by-step to that country. What ails America today started in South Africa, as witnessed by ex President Obama’s infatuation with Mandela and his ANC.

Newman clearly accepts the author’s position that Afrikaners are the closest people on Earth to Americans; their “closest cousins“, more so than the British. That relationship should be no surprise, because one of my son’s earliest ancestors in South Africa was the first American immigrant to the country in 1667.

It is heartening to hear an American speak with so much appreciation for an effort that took me seven years of trawling archives in seven countries. I started the work during 2006 when I had finally reached my tolerance limit for rubbish comments and rubbish reports about a country and people I have loved with all my heart.

Referring to me and a position I have assumed as regards the future of the Afrikaner, Alex accepts my credentials as an Afrikaner who believes passionately in his own people. This I appreciate very much. He feels about his people the way I feel about mine. I respect that in a man.

Afrikaners, Donald Trump, Farm Attacks, Formal Media

The Formal Media

— Lenin, who founded what was likely the single most malicious and murderous institution in the history of man, the U.S.S.R., was a newspaper man. He started the Iskra (“The Spark”) newspaper in Leipzig in 1900. In fact, his first issue (below) reportedly had two references to the South African Great Boer War. Like most Russians, he supported the Afrikaners against the Brits. But his later followers funded, trained, and supported the monsters who bombed the building complex where my mother lived in Amanzimtoti, South Africa in 1985.

My mother was a manager at a periodicals distribution company in South Africa, responsible for the distribution of Time, Life, and Newsweek, each very influential in its era. They were the “New York Times” and “Washington Post” of the news magazine genre. As a result, when I was a child, I always got unsold copies of these news magazines. The first thing that struck me was that what they reported about South Africa did not match what I could see if I stuck my head out of my own window. I always wondered why they found it necessary to lie, twist, and generally mislead. It did not occur to me that South Africa was too far away for decent Americans to realize the horribly slanted nature of the reporting.

When I eventually grew up and became a responsible manager of a group of people, I ended up as contact with the media, and discovered that they loved to “misunderstand” things, rush to print, and then misquote me in banner headlines on the front page. Any retraction would be published in fine print on page 7. The degree of trauma it caused me was extreme. It included me being dressed down by generals and embassy officials for something I had never ever said. For this I can “thank” the formal media. They are driven by “The Story” and not by “The News”, and that assessment is being kind in the extreme.

In our present Era

On to the present United States, where the Mainstream Media is no longer the much vaunted Fourth Estate and essential part of the functioning of the State, but rather an Enemy of the Country hell-bent on dragging it down in their intense hatred of whoever dares to contradict their biased perspective on the world.

At this time, their every breath is devoted to just one thing, and that is destroying Donald Trump as president, and he full well knows it. Never in my life have I seen the degree of raw unadulterated hatred in the faces of TV presenters as what one can see today on CNN. It is now a culturally lost entity that used to be a respected news channel in times gone by, such as in the First Gulf War. Now they are at best described as “Dripping Bile in High Definition”, clearly dreading the possibility of the president doing something right.

Amazingly, there was a time that I respected them, but that is long gone. In the interest of the United States, I would suggest that Americans simply delete that channel from their television menus and let the ratings kill CNN. In short, they badly deserve to be “Dixie Chicked“. I should go on record as saying that I truly loved the Dixie Chicks’ music; their politics not so much. They did the best rendition of the Star Spangled Banner I ever heard in my life. Similarly, CNN was superb in the First Gulf War. But all that is done and gone.

It is now up to the entertainment shows to be reasonable, and it is on one of those that a visitor commented, “There is a huge untapped market for someone who would simply report the actual news“. Now and then, though, reality intercedes, as it did with Megyn Kelly of Fox News, who made every possible effort to turn Donald Trump’s election campaign into her personal career promotion plan. The expression of controlled agony on her face on 9 November 2009 (Pacific time), when her co-host announced Trump’s victory, was telling.

It would have been ever so much better if she had stuck to the actual news in the first place. Now she’s “missing in action” and apparently dead to the world somewhere invisible at NBC. Tucker Carlson, who took over her time slot at Fox, has greater viewer figures. This after Kelly wrote a book that honestly should have been titled, “You too can be as great as I am“. What a shame. Originally I quite liked her, until she got ahead of herself and made herself bigger than the actual news.

What has all this got to do with this Blog?

Simple! When Liberal people are faced with the truth—and 95% of newspaper people are liberal—they will go into a state of denial and dredge up any argument they possibly can to maintain their self-deception. Reality is simply not allowed to intrude. And so it is that a Dutch reporter named Catherine Keyl (below), writing in 2013 for the important Dutch paper, De Telegraaf, managed to convince herself that the farm murders of white farmers in South Africa are being committed by white people trying to foist the blame on South Africa’s black people.

The American Conservative internet newspaper, The New Observer, picked up on this crazy story and published a rebuttal by Arthur Kemp under the title “Holland’s Largest Newspaper Caught out Lying over South African Farm Murders”

According to TNO, said journalist Keyl has confessed that she had been duped.

This is exactly what has been happening with the US media which has been repeatedly caught out over the past several months brazenly lying about President Trump, all in an urge to somehow sink him. Their greatest fear is that, as President, he should get anything right. That is why they are no longer just the watchdog of democracy. They are actually the enemy. A proper Free Press laments and highlights mistakes by a duly elected president, they do not actually do everything in their power to engineer and invent mistakes to hurt their country. They are no longer a Fourth Estate, they are now more akin to a Fifth Column.

To President Trump

Dear Mr President,
— We as Afrikaners have lived with this phenomenon, including lies by missionaries (of all people) being printed as gospel truth in Northern Hemisphere books and newspapers ever since the first decade of the 1800s. But we were ignorant back then and did not realize the permanent damage being done to us. Like the Middle Americans who voted for you, we were largely ordinary farmers and workers, unaccustomed to the subterfuge and lies the media thrives on.

We never realised the Left firmly believed that news was supposed to be created from thin air. That is why we were completely surprised to be dragged in droves before circuit courts around 1814 on charges of murder constructed from thin air by self-educated “missionaries” of the London Missionary Society. They had secretly poisoned London against us. And we were mere powerless “subjects” of “His Majesty, the King of Great Britain”. In the end, not a single one of those charges stuck, and the British judges went on record criticizing the missionaries for inventing them. All this may be read in AmaBhulu.

We stupidly thought a man was supposed to be known by the firmness of his handshake, the reliability of his word, and the depth of his Christian Faith. We thought a man was supposed to earn his keep by the sweat of his brow. And so we were painted so black that, by the time we understood what had been done to us in faraway London, the die was already cast. We were the “permanent pig in the media picture”, no matter what we did or did not do.

We have never managed to shake that image in two hundred and sixteen years, and the formal media has given us not an ounce of credit for anything ever since then. That same image was used in 1899 to foment the Great Boer War against us, and even then we thought that decent men would listen to reason. It turns out they would not, and, as a result, 30,000 of our women and children died in British Concentration Camps in 1901, a massive loss for a tiny nation. The New York Times of 20 November 1901 ran an article titled,

“THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS.; Boer Woman in One of Them Says She Is Well Housed, Fed, and Clothed, and Does Not Have to Work.”

According to the article the men and woman “could play tennis all day“. Somewhere, in the process, the New York Times misplaced the deaths of 30,000 camp inmates. An entire 57% of my family who entered those camps died there. Forgive me if I imagine the New York Times really believed the infamous words over the gates of the later Auschwitz (below).

 

In reality, what was happening in those British camps is silently described by the 1901 picture below of Elizabeth van Zijl in the Bloemfontein Concentration Camp. She and her family were placed on lesser rations, because her father had not surrendered.

Unlike the New York Times in the matter of tennis, I can produce the documentary evidence of the deaths of my family from the British Army’s own records and formal death notices in the South African Archives. The best the New York Times can offer is the hope that readers will forget their reporting and their vivid lapse in morality.

Now, yet another century or so later, that same media actively refuses to report on the incipient genocide of white farmers in South Africa. It prefers to laud the South African government that incites the killings with its deadly poisonous rhetoric. There is nothing new in what the media does, Mr. President. Afer all, Hollywood produced Mission to Moscow to make Stalin palatable to Americans in WWII.

…and still my people die, Mr. President.

So, Mr. President, please keep up the pressure on your media, because if you let them keep doing what they are doing, you will end up like us Afrikaners, facing Genocide while some in the media seek to blame us for “killing ourselves”.

You heard it here, Mr President. Please trust your instincts; they were spot-on until now. Be not misled by this serpent that weaves itself through the diseased apple tree of Washington.

“That apple ain’t what it seems.”

The Real Face of South Africa

Tags

African National Congress (ANC), Afrikaners, Democracy, Donald Trump, Nelson Mandela, South Africa

Take a good look

– Folks in North America seem to think that South Africa is some sort of miracle of democracy and brotherly love, a symbol of the power of democracy. Being generally ill-informed about the planet outside their countries, they have tended to believe the media when it comes to events in such other countries. More recently, they have started to realize that they have been extensively lied to and misled about matters in their own countries. President Trump is doing an excellent job of keeping pressure on the media for its actions. But he is up against 50 years of entrenched abuse. It will take a while for Americans in general to realize that they have been just as much lied to about other countries.

One mental picture they possess almost to a man, is that South Africa is this wonderful place with serene scenes of animals and a “rainbow nation” basking in the “Glory of Democracy”. They have been led to believe that they have played a major role in establishing this “Heaven on Earth” that is South Africa.

Well, the time has come to show folks in North America what it really looks like and what has really been done in their name. So I invite all Americans and Canadians to take a good look at the accompanying photo, because it is the true face of South Africa today. The country has now been essentially as long under the rule of Mandela’s ANC Party as what he sat in jail on Robben Island and in Pollsmoor Prison, and this is what they have done with it. We now have a situation where the 4.5 million White South Africans have sat in the jail that is South Africa for as long as that one single black terrorist, founder and leader of the military wing of his party, sat in a proper jail for being properly convicted. This was never done to him while in jail. In fact, he was treated in Tygerberg Hospital, the best the country has. When he was moved  from Pollsmoor, the prison authorities gave him a house with a swimming pool and a white male Afrikaner cook, and he was welcomed with a case of wine.

An Orgy of Bloodlust

The picture above shows the Wiggill family of Haenertsburg after they were attacked by black men on their farm. This story is repeating itself all over the country. In the last few weeks, all in February, there were 30 attacks on farms. In one case a white lady was raped and then her eyes were gouged out.  The savagery has assumed the proportions of an orgy of animal bloodlust by creatures that have become utterly subhuman.

Just for the record, the Wiggill family has been in South Africa since at least the 1820s, when the nearest Black people lived east of the Great Fish River in the Eastern Cape. That is longer than most Americans can trace their own ancestors in the USA. Julius Malema, a political leader who shares the tribal ethnicity of the killer, threatens violence on White South Africans. He cannot even prove his ancestors were ever south of Pretoria. Apparently, having a black skin is a licence to violence in his mind.

A Month of Slaughter

This month of February 2017 has been one of abject slaughter of white people in that country and I defy anyone to point to an article in the formal North American media about it. They are too busy printing and broadcasting their hatred of Donald Trump to care about actual news— the infamous Liberal Mental Meltdown. They never were good at the truth, because this picture shows what it actually looks like. Their usual reaction is to ignore news that does not fit their script.

Some further example attacks from February:

The Howarths of Dullstroom

Tanya Wiers of Polokwane

The Solik Family of Nottingham Road

The Smuts family of Balfour

Trevor Rees of Underberg, 

Gavin Carter (Australian) of Underberg

The Great Mandela Lie

At his Presidential Inauguration in 1994, Nelson Mandela spoke the Great Mandela Lie :

Never….NEVER! … and NEVER AGAIN….shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience oppression of one by another….

He is is dead and mouldering in his grave, and life in the country has turned to Black Racist terror at the hands of his followers. There are now more racist laws aimed against White people than there ever were addressing Black people before 1994. We always knew this would happen and that is why White South Africans  resisted to the best of their ability, but the battle was lost when the United States turned on them in the mid 1980s under a Democrat dominated Congress trying to win Black American votes. Most White South Africans, like the present author at the time, did their best to make the New South Africa work, but a mere three years after Mandela’s assumption of power the endgame was clear. This author reluctantly packed his bags and left with his family within another three. And this picture shows readers exactly why – and I am certainly sparing you the worst.

North American Cognitive Dissonance

But American Democrats prefer to talk about special immigration rights for Syrians, whose very own people are in fact in command of their own country. South Africa is a racist bloodbath in the making, and the Left utters not a word. Of course, the White South Africans are largely Protestant Christians, so they get no consideration. They must just wait to die. But Syrian Muslims? Oh no, that is somehow a moral argument and the Left takes to the streets and the ACLU to the courts in support.

Are decent Americans and Canadians, both of them nations who helped directly to engineer this situation with great pride, really going to attempt to plead ignorance? Seriously? Are you kidding me? Pierre Trudeau backed the Cubans in invading Africa to keep South Africans from helping black people oppose the USSR in the mid-1970s. The Democrat US Congress overturned a very well-informed veto by President Reagan against the Sanctions they insisted on slamming on South Africa in the mid-1980s. Both were key events in creating the above image. The first killed South Africa’s successful outreach in Africa and the second killed its economy.

My apologies to North American liberals who experience Cognitive Dissonance—discomfort when confronted with new information that contradicts existing beliefs, ideas, and values—when faced with this reality. I trust they will not choke on their lattes. The South African ones have fled or are living in secure communities, anywhere far enough from a farm.

Biblical

The reader needs to understand that I am holding back the truly extreme pictures. The degree of torture that accompanies these farms attacks is extreme beyond what can really be shown to “civilized” media people. And so they look away and wash their hands, but they do send the Afrikaner into oblivion. But we’ve seen this before, have we not? At least the character in the centre of the picture lobbied for the Prisoner to be spared before washing his hands. [Click the cross at the top right of the picture page in this link to see the article].

The time has come

The time has come for decent and  honourable Christian people with a sense of justice and human compassion in the United States and Canada to do the right thing. They need to demand that their Congressmen take a hand in addressing the situation in South Africa. Could these farmers be at least shown the compassion the Syrians have experienced? This hell has been brought upon the ordinary folks in South Africa by the specific actions of past liberal Canadian and US governments. And the American Pottery Barn rule says, “If you break it, you own it!“. Both President Reagan and George HW Bush knew the true situation. But Reagan’s veto was overturned by Congress and George HW Bush’s own listing of the ANC as a terrorist organization in 1988 was overturned some 20 years later by none other than his own son.

White South African farmers are strategically in no position to defend themselves; certainly not while the the US and Canadian media laud the monsters that really lurk behind what one can see and read above. It is amazing that anyone should be surprised at this situation. I warned about all this as best I could in the book AmaBhulu, which took me seven years to put together in order to ensure that every statement is backed up by evidence. All is now much worse.

The West ought to be ashamed of itself.

AmaBhulu available in South Africa

The Protea Bookshop in South Africa now offers the book AmaBhulu to local readers.

The book may be found HERE on their website. I trust they will eventually source it at wholesale prices from the printers so they can make it available at a more affordable price to the ordinary reader.

To catch a Chameleon

How to catch a chameleon.

— This post is not about chameleons, it is about an international political persona, but here’s the thing people need to know about chameleons:  when the sun goes down and they are safe in the dark, they no longer disguise their colors. And that is the best time to catch them. If one has a flashlight, and a discerning eye and mind, one can find them sitting generally higher up in the bushes, brightly reflecting a clear green color. So, with a flashlight and a focused mind one can very easily catch a chameleon. Unfortunately, if you really believe the daytime colors of a chameleon you’ll never recognize it, even at night. People will see what they believe they SHOULD see. They see what they have been TOLD to see. It is particularly the more educated people who have this difficulty, because they cannot accept that they might just be wrong. They are too arrogant for the truth. And that brings us to our story:

Once Upon a Time.

Once upon a time, among undulating green hills in a faraway country there lived a young man. He was one of the ‘Red’ people, so called because they dyed their clothes with red ochre. They did not use furniture and slept on mats on the ground. They had always done it that way since time immemorial. His father was not a king, but he was a kingmaker. He was an animist. He had four wives and thirteen children. Our young man was the only son of the third wife. He was the most junior of all the sons. Nevertheless, he was the great-grandson of a king of his people, though descended via a lesser branch. Our young hero would one day commit to paper his belief that, if one dishonored an ancestor, one had to consult a traditional healer or tribal elder who would communicate with the departed ancestors and tender apologies.

The nation of our young hero was one of several who spoke the same language. They all lived in beautiful undulating green countryside and saw themselves as a family of nations. Their country was among the most spectacularly beautiful in all of the continent.

To the west, in their own much different and much drier country, lived the most odd-looking people. Our young man had seen some of them now and then around the nearest town. Many years later he would write that they were to him “curious and remote”. He would later learn that there were two groups of the odd-looking people and they spoke different languages, but it was difficult for him to understand the difference. Since the people who looked like his father were also of many different nations and languages, this was not strange in the least.

In our young man’s district there were some people who had in earlier times been slaves of our young man’s family of nations, but they were now free. Because those people had originally fled a despotic king some hundreds of miles to the northeast and had begged our young man’s people for a new life, they were still called the “the Beggar People”. Now they wore Western clothes and were generally the more educated in the community. In fact the “Beggar People” had been rescued from their slavery by a military leader of the odd-looking people some 85 years before. There was always some level of competition between the Beggar People and the others.

In the Glitter City – The great Ism

Several years later, our not-so-young hero decided to run off to the Glitter City to avoid an arranged marriage. But there was a small problem: the city was in the country of the Odd-looking people. However, our hero had made nominal friends with some Odd-looking people by now, and was helped by some of them. He had done some study toward a Law degree and got a job at a Law firm run by some very specific Odd-looking people. They were very different from the vast majority of the Odd-looking people, because they were all Followers of the Great Ism. Practically all their families were of immigrant stock from Eastern Europe, and none had a bloodline in the country of the Odd-looking people that went back to the beginning of that country. Most other Odd-looking people, in fact, did.

Resistance

There was at this time a War in the whole of the world and it was in flames. However, matters were peaceful in the countries of the Red People and the Odd-Looking people. By the time this great war was over, the government changed in the country of the Odd-Looking people. This new government felt that their country was being overwhelmed and taken away from them by the sheer numbers of Red People and other similar nations. So, they made laws that limited the ability of such nations to take over their country. Several of these laws were quite hurtful.

Our hero had already decided that he would become a Follower of the Great Ism. He had also joined a National Socialist organization that sought to build out the rights of the Red people and others like them in the country of the Odd-looking people. By now he was a regional executive of the organization. Before long, this effort turned extremely violent. Our hero changed colors, and decided to send a friend of his to a faraway place called China for weapons, but the Chinese refused.

A preference for violence

Meanwhile, matters turned very violent and the government of the Odd-looking people passed laws to ban the Following of the Great Ism and and also the National Socialist organization. So the two parties went underground. Our hero had meanwhile convinced the executive of the National Socialist organization that they needed a military wing, so they gave him the go-ahead and he formed it with the help of a senior Follower of the Great Ism. He called it “Assegai“. They set up shop in a house in a rich leafy semi-suburban part of the Glitter City, where the rich Followers of Ism secretly met. They tended to be Media people and Lawyers. By now our hero was a senior Follower of Ism.

Caught and convicted

Our hero’s Military wing carried out more than 150 bombings in the country of the Odd-looking people and he personally went to a faraway country for military training. Many years later people would call it an Al Qaeda-like camp. Upon his return, he was caught by the Police of the Odd-looking people and jailed. In a raid on the house in the Glitter City, the rest of the team was caught.  In their possession was a complete plan for an invasion of the country of the Odd-looking people, along with an assessment of arms and munitions that would be needed.

When the seriousness of the situation dawned on the group, they decided that our hero WOULD NOT TESTIFY, because then they would all surely die. But the very gracious law of the Odd-looking people allows even a non-testifying accused to address the court. For an American, this is something akin to “Taking the Fifth and still speaking in your own defense”. Our hero delivered an impressive 4-hour speech. His life was spared and he was sentenced to life in jail.  This was unlikely to have happened in any other country at the time, certainly including the United States.

While he was in jail, his Assegai people turned to open terrorism on Odd-looking People and the United States very correctly listed them a Terrorist Organization. Even Amnesty International refused to take our hero’s case, because he had promoted violence. They did not deem him a Prisoner of Conscience. They thought that making an exception for him would compromise the cases of more meritorious prisoners elsewhere.

Perish the truth in the way of a good story

After our hero was let out of jail many years later, an American ghostwriter wrote his autobiography for him, and carefully removed every mention of being a Follower of Ism, let alone being a senior leader in the group. The book presented our man as an international hero and Great Man of Peace. The Media in the United States lapped up the story and promptly ignored the fact that our hero had created  Assegai. They made sure no one heard about the bombs or the invasion plans. They never questioned his sudden and miraculous innocence. They misrepresented his great speech at his trial, completely forgetting that to save his own life he never testified.

To the shock and dismay of the Odd-looking people, the man who had bombed them, threatened to invade them, and had been caught and convicted and who actually confessed his role in his own autobiography was now miraculously hailed in the United States as a Great Moral Leader of the World. The judge who had jailed him had said that he was not quite convinced of the seriousness of the invasion plan, but some of our hero’s fellow prisoners later described openly how they had nearly come to blows in jail because some had not taken it seriously enough. And YET the US Media promoted our man as a hero.

Somehow, all these incredibly highly educated people in the United States simply could not “see the chameleon”. Apparently they had no flashlight. And, even if one shone a light on the chameleon for them and pointed it out, they still failed to spot it. Perhaps it glowed so brightly in the light that they thought it a god. In fact, many treated the chameleon like a god. The shameful self-inflicted blindness was astounding to watch. After all, much as with the parable of the horse and water, it seems one can point out a chameleon but one cannot force people to see it.

When the Chimera Triumphs

Eventually our hero led a Chimera of the Followers of the Great Ism, The National Socialist organization, and a control body of all the Trade Unions to a political victory in the country of the Odd-looking people. The latter lost all say in their own country and they were kicked out of their jobs.  They are forced to sell their business to Red-people in order to qualify for government tenders. The farmers among them were murdered until only half of them remained on their farms.  The Chimera has done all it can to take the farms of those that remain and is doing its best to stamp out their language and their culture by every means at its disposal.

Its threats towards Odd-looking people have become more and more strident and uncontrolled. It has revealed itself to be akin to an ostrich in the breeding season. It seems to be incapable of rational thought, has great instincts regarding power; the use and abuse thereof, the exploitation thereof, and it will attack anything that moves. Much like the male ostrich in its scarlet-shinned breeding hubris, the organization, in its out of control political hubris, tends to say on record things that would crush the standing of any other nation on the surface of the planet. But the Chimera appears to be itself a chameleon, and intelligent people cannot spot it—particularly in the United States.

When our hero died, the Followers of the Great Ism rushed to the microphones to finally and at last confess that our hero had been one of their leaders, but, somehow, those who cannot spot a chameleon in the dark with a flashlight can still see absolutely nothing. Therefore, it follows in their minds that he could not have been a Follower of the Great Ism. And the more intelligent and highly trained these people are, the blinder they are.

So, it is impossible to spot a chameleon in the dark, is it? Can I shine you a flashlight and point one out to you? Or are you too intelligent and educated to see it?

SOURCES:
Pretty much all of the above comes out of Nelson Mandela’s autobiography, which was suitably sanitized of all involvement with the Communist Party of South Africa by his ghostwriter, Richard Stengel, now Deputy Secretary of State in the Obama Administration. The truth has more recently been revealed. Amnesty International never took up Mandela’s case because he was not a Prisoner of Conscience; he was a man of violence correctly convicted in open court in a Justice System procedurally more lenient than the US one. The decoded version of this whole story may be read in AmaBhulu.

As to Mandela and the Communist Party, it apparently did not make a single person in the Western Media think why he would be holding his balled fist in the air in solidarity in 1990 when Umkhonto we Sizwe stopped its supposed “Military” campaign. Yes, you are hearing correctly there. They are singing “Kill the white man”/ Bulala amaBhulu! And the Caucasian man standing next to the balled fisted Mandela is Ronnie Kasrils, very senior Communist Party man of recent Baltic immigrant extraction. By contrast, nearly all Afrikaners have had twelve generations in Africa.

You mean you did not know? Seriously?

One of the most frustrating things for Caucasian South Africans in settling in North America is the general lack of knowledge on the continent about South Africa. Many cannot point it out on a map, despite the name. Millions honestly believe Africa is one country. That is how this author was attacked by an American lady with an MSc in Physics for not removing Idi Amin from office! Most likely I need to explain that he was the despotic ruler of Uganda in the 1970s.

Those who at least know South Africa is a country, know only one word about it, and that word is ‘apartheid’. They somehow believe they know what that is, until one asks them one or two questions. They truly believe that people of different races walked on different sides of the street. And they will stare at one blankly when one honestly reports that one had never seen such a thing. A young student told me in the last 5 years that they had recently been taught exactly that in school. I’d love to meet the author of the text book they are studying from.

BUT, here is the other thing they all believe they know about South Africa. They believe to a person that there were Black people at Cape Town when the Dutch settled there. Of course, they are dead wrong. When the Dutch arrived in 1652, the Black amaXhosa were at what is today the southern boundary of the KwaZulu-Natal province. That is some 800 miles from Cape Town!

Once one explains this, the argument usually becomes one of “Yes, but that is very long ago and the Black people were everywhere soon after“. In fact, that is also a massive fallacy. But, who is this author to verbally wave his arms about and explain, if it can be done much more elegantly by none other than the first British Commander at the Cape in 1796. This was less than a year after he arrived. It was also 144 years AFTER the Dutch settled the cape.

To give some time perspective, the first of the much lamented apartheid laws were  formulated in 1948. By then the settlement at the Cape was 296 years old. That means the halfway point in history up to that moment was the year 1652+148=1800. So, the question is, what was the distribution of people roughly at that halfway mark.

So, let us  proceed to the words [1] of the first British Commander at the Cape, General Craig, as written to Henry Dundas, the Secretary of War under Pitt on 12 April 1796. This was around six months after taking the Cape from the Dutch to prevent it falling into Napoleon’s hands:

A few days ago arrived here three Caffres, who said their sole business was to see the new nation, which they understood was now come to the Cape...[…]...I did my utmost to conciliate their friendship, and sent them away loaded with presents. It is a great many years since a Caffre was at the Cape. I endeavoured to persuade him, that it would be proper, that the King himself should come here, that I would furnish him with everything he wanted, and wished much to be friends with him, but he replied seemingly with some indignation at the proposal, that the King would not leave his own country, but that he would get him to send some of his principal men here.

It is so elegant when history stands up and gives black on white testimony to the truth. Here we have the man who would have intense interest in the matter of a competing nation “on his doorstep”, and he records that “it is a great many years” since a Black Southern African man was at the Cape.  It would have been more accurate for him to say there had NEVER been one. The simple reason for this, is that the black people were actually some 600 miles east of the Cape at that point.

 Black and White South African allies – A Series

—The impression has been created by the Media and various Governments of South Africa that White and Black have always been enemies unto death. In reality, Black and White have allied on numerous occasions in South African history. While this may surprise people outside the country, I venture to say it will also be a revelation to many South Africans. It is a truth that is as uncomfortable for the present government as it was for the previous.

The pre-1994 government of the country corralled its political base by convincing it of the Swart Gevaar (The Black Danger). It formed the basis of the Old Apartheid Laws. The present Black ANC government has ratcheted up this approach by orders of magnitude, inciting murder with its singing of “Kill the Whites”. This gets it votes from millions of the Uneducated, the Ignorant, and from racist Africanist Blacks. It forms the basis of the New Apartheid Laws. It appears not to realize that it is vindicating the old government. If it does, then it simply does not care, because the West has given it a free pass to do exactly what it pleases to the utterly powerless Whites.

I hope and trust that the examples provided here will show there was Black and White cooperation and alliance at many seminal events, and that the country does not have to be the divided nightmare that its various governments have made of it.

♦  Part 3 – The Black King with the White Stepfather

In the year 1795 the British took the Cape with the coerced support of the Dutch Stadtholder who had fled to London to escape Napoleon. The British ignorance about, prejudice against, and hatred for the Afrikaner was extreme. It led to disastrous decision making on the part of the new British Government at the Cape and would eventually cost them half of their new colony. It would also cost two ancestors of the author their lives. Britain would end up paying tribute to men with spears.

This period, usually ignored in both British and South African history, forms the background of the third installment on the subject of Black and White South African Allias. The unique relationship between the Frontiersmen and Rharhabe’s descendants would again surface 15 years later in 1815 in a seminal event that would create 150 years of bitterness between Boer and Brit.

All of this is described in detail in AmaBhulu- The Birth and Death of the Second America.

♦  Part 2 – The White Giant and the Black King

Thirteen years after the First Frontier War, matters on the Eastern Frontier of the Cape of Good Hope are as unsettled as ever. Rharhabe and his Number One son, Mlawu, have both died, and the new candidate for the amaRharhabe crown, Ngqika, is still under age. Mlawu’s brother, the power-hungry Ndlambe, is regent in his place.

When the Suurveld amaXhosa yet again raid the frontiersmen, the latter decide on mounting their own unsanctioned Commando to punish these particular amaXhosa. Despite initial success, things go badly wrong. As a result, the Governor is eventually forced into war with the Suurveld AmaXhosa. Ndlambe, in an effort to unite the Suurveld amaXhosa under his reign, sides with the White Frontiersmen, just as his father Rharhabe had done. One of the central characters is a 7 foot giant white man.

The unique relationship between the Frontiersmen and the amaRharhabe  would again surface 7 years later in 1800 at one of the lowest points in the history of the Colony and of the British Army. By then, the new young king, Ngqika, will be on the throne.

All of this is described in detail in AmaBhulu- The Birth and Death of the Second America.
