The History Factsheet

— In my dealings with well-meaning folks all across North America, I find that many simply do not know even the most basic historical facts about South Africa. In fact, I find that many South Africans don’t. Actually, I doubt whether a single Black South African knows these basics anymore, given the intense brainwashing they have been subjected to by the ANC government for a quarter of a century. In fact, an entire generation has now been raised on lies and racist propaganda. The most extreme of anti-white racism is not coming from elderly Black folks who had to live with apartheid. It is coming from clueless young Black people raised on this ANC diet of racist lies.

The attitudes in North America are built strongly on the History of Race in the United States. And this is exactly where the greatest of mistakes are made. Pretty much every single North American I have met simply assumed that the Dutch went to the Cape of Good Hope to catch slaves. They’re not too sure when it happened, but it was “for slaves”. When they find out the Dutch settled the Cape of Good Hope within one generation of New York, they are generally dumbstruck. And there are many facts similar to this that completely take the ground out from under their “outrage”. When they find out that no Black people in South Africa were ever enslaved by any white men from anywhere, they start getting annoyed at whoever told them that junk. When they hear it is the Whites who have slave ancestors, not the Blacks, then their jaws hit the ground. Yet it is true.

Those who care about what is now happening in South Africa need a simple factsheet that they can give to interested people. So, I am sharing today with readers of this Blog that factsheet. I did a presentation at a conference in the United States in the past three weeks and the need for this Factsheet became very clear, and it may be found BELOW and elsewhere in DOWNLOADABLE FORM. These are the facts I presented at that conference, and the response was overwhelming. May I suggest that folks distribute this to those who have a sense of humanity, for matters are coming to a head rapidly in South Africa:

South Africa

The Drop Dead Important Historical Facts

■ When the Dutch settled the Cape of Good Hope in 1652, the nearest Black people were 700 miles away behind the 350 mm summer rainfall line with its higher rainfall and tall grass for cattle grazing. Their civilization was based on milk, and they invaded from the Northeast, supplanting the indigenous Khoi and San.

■ It took TWO generations (1702) before White met Black in South Africa, 500-600 miles east of Cape Town. It took FIVE generations (1780) before the first major armed clash at roughly the same spot: The Great Fish River.

■ No indigenous Black South African person was ever enslaved by any white man from anywhere. But, Nelson Mandela’s amaXhosa did enslave the amaFengu. Mozambique and Angola were the nearest places the Portuguese traded in slaves. The Portuguese slave routes bypassed the coast of South Africa.

■ It is the White South Africans, not the Black, whose ancestors were slaves of the Dutch. They were often Indian or Indonesian and sometimes Black East- or West African. This White author has a Black West African slave ancestor.

■ The indigenous Cape population were the Khoi and San. As a culture, they were almost completely destroyed by the great Smallpox Epidemic of 1713. Some groups far from Cape Town survived. The author also has Khoi ancestry.

■ Since 1814, the White Afrikaner has had no “right of return” to Europe, unlike the colonial Portuguese, British, or French. Today’s young Afrikaner’s great-great-great-great-great-grandfather was the last man with any right to a life elsewhere.

■ In 1836, wholly deserted by their British overlords, they packed their belongings on their ox-wagons and set off north at 15-20 miles a day on the Great Trek to escape British control. They settled mostly on the higher central Prairie, which was for the greatest part not occupied by any Black People. There they created two corn and ranching republics until diamonds and gold were discovered.

■ The Afrikaner was NOT part of Europe’s Late 1800s “Scramble for Africa”; they gave their lives fighting Imperial Britain’s Colonialist Expansion in two wars.

■ The Germans did NOT invent concentration camps. The British created concentration camps for Afrikaners during the Great Boer War of 1899-1902. Of the author’s Booyens family who entered those camps, 57% died there in 1901.

Vindicated

I shall report on the actual conference in a later post. All I wish to  say at this time, is that I feel vindicated in my belief in the basic decency and humanity of Americans and in my faith that Black Americans in particular, once they know what is really going on, will rise to the occasion and do the right thing with respect to South Africa.

I have lived the evidence. I wish readers could have seen the faces of a crowd of Americans when they realised that I, the white man from Africa, was the only African-American in the room and that their Black countrymen were really Black Americans; Americans who just so happen to be Black.

Furthermore, I shall go to my grave believing that the key to the future of South Africa is actually its truthful past; its very real and epic history. South Africa is where Mel Gibson should have gone to get his Braveheart movie story. There never was a need to invent history and add fictional trimmings. He could simply have based the movie on the factual history of South Africa in the 1830s and the real men who made that history.

African National Congress (ANC), Afrikaners, Farm Attacks, South Africa

As promised in the previous blogpost, this author was interviewed by Erin Ryan and Bill Cundiff of WeThePeopleRadio today. This was the second part of a three-hour show, the previous post covering the first of the three hours.  Today’s show focused on the situation in present day South Africa where the ANC Government is attempting to expropriate the land of white farmers without compensation. Along with this, these farmers are under all out attack by gangs who murder them, often torturing them to death. The farmers are convinced to that the government is siccing the attackers on them. When that same government seeks to take their land, it is obvious that any reasonable human will connect the two issues.

Meanwhile, the government is openly misleading the Western Media about the land ownership to try and build a case against the farmers. In this show, we address these issues and use the South African government’s and the CIA’s numbers to show up the manipulation of facts by the South African ANC Government. The ANC  was originally trained by the Soviet Union and are in alliance with the South African Communist Party.

Listen to the whole 2-hour show HERE.

The First hour ( from last Sunday) is HERE.

The New American on the author of AmaBhulu

African National Congress (ANC), Afrikaners, Cyril Ramaphosa, Farm Attacks

— In an article of today’s date in The New American, American contributor Alex Newman extensively quotes the present author in the matter of developments and options in South Africa. The article was precipitated by the announcement of the planned dispossession of white people by the ANC government under the new president of South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa. A former Secretary-General of the ANC Party, Ramaphosa was effectively Nelson Mandela’s second-in-command and his favorite to succeed him as president. History turned out differently in the intervening years.

Newman (below) has been a steadfast supporter of the basic human rights of Afrikaners and other threatened folks in South Africa

This blog has acknowledged Newman’s efforts on a number of occasions, such as when he reviewed the author’s book  AmaBhulu and also when he referred to it in very positive terms in a late 2017 video interview. He has also covered the views of this author in other articles.

I should like thank him on behalf of all the people of all races in South Africa who are threatened by the brazenly racist rhetoric and actions of the present  ANC government in South Africa.

Thank you, Alex, for being a man with a pen and a conscience; these form a rare combination indeed at the present time.

South Africa: Who stole the Land?

Tags

Afrikaners, Farm Attacks, South Africa

—Today I make available the first five chapters of the series “South Africa: Who stole the Land?“. This is all about how people got to be where they are in South Africa. I feel urged by the events in South Africa around the threatened confiscation of the property of white farmers without due compensation.

It has taken me many weeks to put all this together properly and I am only at chapter 5.  However, those five chapters deal with the development of the old Cape Frontier between the Afrikaner on the one hand, and two of the isiXhosa speaking nations, the amaXhosa and abaThembu, on the other. On the map below (click to enlarge), that would be the region along the coast between the broken green line and the right-most brown arrow.

This map plays a big role in the whole saga, so folks may want to memorize it or keep it handy. I say this with non-South Africans in mind. There will be more maps along the way. This particular map shows the immigration of the main groups of  Black Ba’Ntu people into South Africa. The indigenous people were the San Bushmen, and later the Khoekhoe, both drastically different people from the Black people. As late as 1836, a traveller came across a band of San Bushmen in the Southern Free State (the ‘Prairie’ on the map). As late as 1838 folks were still running into San Bushmen in the north of the 11,000 foot Drakensberg Mountains, shown heavily snow-topped on the map. Yes, South Africa gets snow. Port Elizabeth on the South Coast is as far from the Equator as Charleston in the USA.

Australia notices…

The brutality of the Ethnic Cleansing Campaign against white farmers in South Africa is beyond anything the world has seen in modern times. Being a farmer in South Africa is by now surely the single most dangerous occupation on the face of the earth outside war or space; and those occupations that come close do not involve being tortured to death. In a recent case, a Dutch immigrant farmer was tortured over five hours while his wife had to listen to his screams as he was dying. The ANC government dominated Police prefer to call these “robberies gone wrong“…. really!!?  Seriously!!?.

Folks outside South Africa have finally noticed the hell that South African farmers are suffering. This has led the Minister of the Interior of Australia to suggest fast tracking immigration visas for those farmers, because they are struggling with “horrific circumstances”. He also used the opportunity to tell the world just what fantastic immigrants the South Africans are and that they are exactly what his country needs. I had already personally been told that by a Minister in a Canadian Provincial Government who had made a point of wanting to meet me to convey the message. He was talking about South African doctors. In reality, these farmers are exactly what South Africa needs, but the government threatens them daily and the Black politicians chant “Kill the farmers!”

… but the Formal Media is morally challenged

Of course, the Anglophone Formal media of the World is largely trying to tell its readership and viewership that the dead farmers are lying about being killed, which I find an odd concept, to say the least. The BBC is flailing around, effectively suggesting, in my view, that, if 2001 dead farmers is a horrific situation, then just 2000 dead farmers is somehow acceptable. I cannot account for their relativist morality; I was raised differently and value all life. Next time you hear of a family who lost two children, ask them if it would have been OK if they had lost just one. I wonder if this is another “British Thing” or if it is just the BBC that is “morally challenged”. Is that perhaps the correct definition for “liberal?”.

The BBC was not around in the Great Boer War of 1899-1902 in South Africa, otherwise they might have behaved like the New York Times, who suggested at the time that Afrikaner ladies were enjoying tennis in the British Concentration Camps: — What!? You don’t believe me?…really?…then READ! I never knew tennis was so dangerous that it could kill 30,000 people. THAT is the Liberal Anglophone Media for you.

“Move along folks! Nothing to see here!“

The ANC government is clearly burying the numbers relating to farm murders, and the Formal media is playing along. The government does not allow the Police to report on these murders as a category of crime. They prefer to bury it in the mass of black-on-black violence, because there are ten times as many black people as white in South Africa, the vast majority of them in the east of the country. For my American readers, that would be the tactical equivalent of politically trying to hide any murders of Wyoming or Montana farmers in among the Black-on-Black gun violence statistics of Detroit. Fortunately, the Internet does not allow governments to hide stuff anymore, as the United States has discovered.

A Life and Death story in Ten Parts

I do not wish to steal my own thunder by saying much more here. So I refer the reader to “South Africa: Who stole the Land??“. Perhaps the title should be “A  Story of Life and Death in Ten Parts“.

What is to come

I am currently working on the sixth chapter, which addresses the matter of “who was where and moved where” over the period of the Great Trek up to the Sand River Convention of 1852, when Great Britain acknowledged the independence of the Free State and Transvaal Republics. It will also address the histories of the Black people affected. It may surprise some folks to find out that some Black groups specifically requested to be incorporated into the “white-run” Free State.

I imagine folks will be equally surprised to learn how the Ba’Rolong Tswana and the Afrikaners fought on one side against the Matabele: Black and White comrades-in-arms. How did that happen? Perhaps folks just never thought it odd that there would be Bushveld Tswana people freezing in winter in a patch in the Free State east of Bloemfontein. Folks should ask “WHY?”. Did Media people really never wonder why there was a little patch of the Bophuthatswana Homeland stuck in the middle of the Free State? I guess they were too busy expounding on why the country with the biggest platinum mine in the world was a “dump for Black people dreamt up by racists”. The same can be said for the Transkei coast, which was somehow a “dump” in the 1970s and is now a tourist haven of heavenly beauty. Such is the Media.

Folks will likely be as surprised to hear of the many Zulu warriors and men of mixed descent who fought on Afrikaner side at Blood River. And then there were the Englishmen who fought at the same battle, but I guess we should not let a small thing like facts and truth interfere with the political spin of the ANC and its Communist partnership.  I imagine the knowledge that the Mpande Zulu and the Afrikaners had a joint military campaign against Zulu King Dingane would be simply too much for the Government to process.

Further chapters will consider the European Rape of Africa and the history up to now.

I tell you, history is powerful. That’s why I study it.

The truth will set you free

For now, folks, I give you South Africa: Who stole the Land?.

Dammit! Die quietly, White Man!

African National Congress (ANC), Afrikaners, Farm Attacks, Formal Media, Katie Hopkins, Lauren Southern

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

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

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

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.
