This is an edited repost of a comment on Bari Weiss' Woke Free Press before it began censoring for political correctness and I joined the flood of others seeking truth elsewhere.

***************************

re: South African genocide. Two summers ago, late at night, a small light plane landed at our little rural airport for fuel and a rest stop. The only person around at such ungodly hours, I strolled over to the lounge to offer any assistance they might need.

As conversation progressed, it was revealed that the woman had just returned from a six-month visit with her brother in South Africa. I got a real education.

When the Boers civilized what later became known as South Africa, the "indigenous people" were living in the Stone Age. Their pastimes consisted of continuous genocide of each other, and little more. Mud huts would be considered Frank Lloyd Wright-level construction.

The Dutch farmers converted jungle into verdant and productive fields; the economy prospered; the Krugerrand was internationally famous. And yes, there was Apartheid.

In the 1970s - and I remember it well - American sob sisters with leaky waterworks pressured the U.S. gub'ment to levy heavy sanctions on S.A., which they laid on with a will. The result? You see it now. Like every other subsaharan "nation" led by the majority, it is a shithole. Corruption? Universal. The SA government, if you can call it that, is in a headlong drive to extract everything of value built up by the white Afrikaners over centuries and drag it into their individual bank accounts. "Laws" allowing for the theft of real estate abound. There are open calls for "Kill the Boer," which these people are doing with gusto. The favorite technique? "Necklacing." First restrain the farmer; then before his eyes, rape any women and girls in the house, then kill any male children with machetes. Then hang a tire around his neck, fill it with gasoline, and set it on fire. Marauding black gangs LITERALLY - as in literally, not literally as in figuratively - hunt whites and kill them.

American Social Justice Warriors score another victory. One thing I do like about The Orange Man: unless something involves America directly, he keeps his nose, our treasure and young soldiers' lives - to himself. His actions vis à vis South African refugees are long overdue.

For all the platitudes heaped on Nelson Mandela, his wife Winnie openly endorsed necklacing. During a speech in Munsieville on 13 April 1986. She stated, "With our boxes of matches, and our necklaces, we shall liberate this country," which was widely seen as an explicit endorsement of necklacing.

Disagree. Nelson Mandela was a legitimate hero with a strong spiritual grounding. Winnie may have been his wife, but she was not his equal, and never grew morally in the way Mandela did.

How could Nelson have turned a blind eye to Winnie and her endorsement of necklacing? I think they were both commies. It doesn't mean I don't have respect for him and what he suffered through and it doesn't mean I supported apartheid, but hindsight and years later may give us a different look at the man and who he was.

TeaPartyGal's avatar

Suzie and LuAnn, He may have been a Marxist politically, but unlike Winnie, I'm sure he would not have endorsed necklacing. He was big on non-violence and reconciliation. He was very open about it being spirituality that sustained him thru his years in prison, and that he made a conscious decision while in prison to respond with Love to his incarceration, not anger and violence.

The story of Robin Hood - that all kids grow up hearing - firmly entrenched the false notion of stealing from the rich to give to the poor was moral and just.

Any half intelligent person knows why there was never a sequel to it where the poor would soon come to believe they deserved what wasn't theirs and would demand more free stuff.

James Wills's avatar

The Woke Free Press started out very well. Weiss had resigned from the Failing NYTimes very publicly, with an open letter to A.G. Sulzberger, the chairman of the Times, complaining about antisemitism at the paper. Probably true, but this was a very well thought-out tactical move and served primarily to publicize her new venture in a brilliant nationwide spotlight.

The Woke Free Press started out pretty good, but in a classic Regression To The Mean became more and more like the publications that it claimed to oppose, censoring and cancelling viewpoints and people who it felt rocked the boat and threatened its money-printing machine.

The blog owner is a Jewish lesbian, married to same, (two children - immaculate conception, I suppose) and promulgates the agenda that you might imagine. Combine that with nepotism (The "wife" and sister are, of course, the major writers, the plurality of others are liberal Jewish men, and you get the picture.)

My mentor - himself Jewish and a Zionist like me - clewed me in over a year ago, but I persisted until yesterday. A recent Woke article about Huckleberry Finn provoked a flood of counter-comments - the most "liked" of which was deleted because it named the "n word" that Twain - an ardent abolitionist - had used in perfect innocence (The publish date was December, 1884) to describe the slave who was clearly the most moral character in "Huck."

So much for principle. Sometimes where you stand depends on where you sit, and when you are sitting on a mountain of cash, I suppose that sometimes you even get those biblical beams in your eye.

Trump has a good nose for what to get involved with and what to avoid. Other politicians just wet the finger , stick it in the air and see what direction the wind is blowing. Consequences? What consequences?

Getting involved with most other countries is not in our national interest and “nation building “ hopefully is done. Even our “allies” try to shove the shiv at us. Just yesterday a British court stopped for the time being handing over Diego Garcia, not the El Salvadoran gang banger, but a very strategic island in the Indian Ocean , to a country that claims it and has been cozying up the China.

Trump is for us. The media isn’t. And the Dems hate this place period.

No matter how much one hates the media it's not enough. The Boers paid both the Zulus and the Xhosa for the empty land in South Africa. Neither tribe would go there because they had fought over it forever. Then the Boers made the dumb mistake of bringing in the blacks for cheap labor.

That cost them their country, kind of like where we are going. The left made the apartheid thing seem so bad, but it was the Boers land and the blacks were temporary labor who never went home.

They plan to exterminate the whites now and the leftist media cheers them on just like they do when we suffer.

My ancestors came early but as indentured servants. The first slave was a man who was indentured to a black man, Anthony Johnson, who had bought himself free. He then brought over an indentured servant named Casor, I've seen it spelled Cezar, too.

Casor is said to have raised the money to buy himself out, but was allegedly robbed and couldn't pay. He appealed to the magistrate, but was returned to Johnson, who never paid him again, thus making Casor the first real slave.

Two of my great grandfathers died trying to free the slaves. Where's my reparations?

Right now I'd take them in mealy bags so I can prepare for my own version of Roarke's Drift.

This was a fire-charged presser. Trump deserves a lot of credit for having the guts to slam this guy in the face on global TV. He isn't afraid to take risk, which is why so many love him in politics.

Kudos Mr. President!

Trump has a sixth sense for knowing that deep down, while nobody wants to publicly make comments about South Africa for fearing charges of racism from the media, most people see the injustice. Deep down they want Trump to keep doing it.

The Democrats are experts at engineering Secret money laundering channels.

Trump is an expert in engineering silent loyal support channels on issues such as this that can't be talked about in polite company. This is another 80/20 issue.

Yes, but McIver is small potatoes. It's the system behind her that we must get.

It now appears our cabinet is side-stepping some boundaries of the deep state and letting them skate on their corruption, possibly because the time and effort it would take to prove their guilt can't be justified in light of other equally critical - but easier to prosecute - criminal behavior. In other words, the Fox News interview with Patel and Bongino - SHOCKING to me! - clearly defined turf they are not willing to pursue. They yielded.

I can't help but replay all the advertisements for Patel's movie (which I purchased) "Government Gangsters" as well as the hundreds of hours of listening to Dan Bongino's Podcast and radio show. Did the deep state drug these guys?

I won't criticize as I don't have the knowledge or experience to challenge it constructively. I will trust they have their reasons but it is a smackdown nonetheless.

Commies are Commies whether here or abroad, regardless of their skin color. The media loves Commies because they are also Commies. The people running South Africa are Commies, and have longstanding relationships with totalitarian regimes in the usual places. The whites in South Africa are targets, regardless of where they stood on apartheid. The country is falling apart under the “leadership” of the Commies. No surprise there. Leaving is probably, unfortunately, the best solution for the white Siuth Africans. They are way outnumbered, unpopular, and without international support.
