Savage murder campaign against white South African farmers

Ilana Mercer reports on a documentary film by the South African television program Carte Blanche that tells of “orgiastic killing sprees” and unspeakable atrocities being carried out against Afrikaner farmers by blacks. As of early 2006, over 2,000 white farmers had been murdered. It sounds worse than what happened in Zimbabwe.

What is there to say? What is there to do? The Western world is not race-neutral and non-racist, as it claims, any more than Britain is against the “stirring up of racial hatred,” since its race hatred law is only enforced against whites, not against Muslims who are doing and saying things infinitely worse than any white. No, the West is anti-white, out of guilt or hatred for whites’ supposed sins. Our supposed ideology of non-discrimination really means murderous discrimination against the once-dominant whites, carried out in order to drag them down and raise up the nonwhites. Pace the dreams of well-meaning liberals and neoconservatives, equality under the law is not some independent spiritual essence that becomes operative by itself. Living human beings must believe in it, defend it, and enforce it. But who is there to defend and enforce it, since, as I explained here, liberal anti-racism from the moment of its inception denies whites’ status as moral agents and thus takes away their standing to protest injustices done against themselves? And if we are not for ourselves, who will be for us?

Not to leave unanswered the dilemma I posed above, how could whites have brought about racial justice for nonwhites without turning themselves into right-less victims? The answer, laid out in the article linked in the previous paragraph, is that they should have taken whatever measures were needed to remove those elements of racial discrimination that were truly wrong and unacceptable, while still maintaining and asserting their, the whites’, position as the ruling majority, or, in the case of S. Africa, as the ruling minority. Once whites gave up their right and their place as the dominant group, they didn’t merely become “equal” with the minorities, they became the moral equivalent of aristocrats and bourgeoisie and priests in Lenin’s Russia, the moral equivalent of land owners in Mao’s China, the moral equivalent of people wearing reading glasses in Pol Pot’s Cambodia.

The underlying point is that liberal neutrality cannot operate by itself, but is only possible within the limits and standards set by an actual culture. To paraphrase what Jim Kalb says in another blog entry today, equal-rights liberalism depends on a state of society that rests on an authoritative majority culture that liberalism eventually destroys, because if self-defining equality comes first there’s nothing to support a substantive standard.

I asked Ilana Mercer:

If thousands of Afrikaner farmers are being brutalized and murdered like this how is it that they just remain on their farms waiting to be killed? Why haven’t they fled? Yes, it tells of people arming themselves to the teeth, but surely many must have fled, as in Zimbabwe.

She wrote back:

Americans do not understand how hard it is to immigrate. I find most Americans think that if you apply to enter, well then, the U.S., Canada, or Australia will let you in. NOT SO. It is virtually impossible to immigrate legally to the U.S., Canada, and Australia if you do not have the right qualifications or huge sums of money. This of course should make for commentary about our immigration system, which selects for law-breaking, venality, and risk taking, etc. I’ve dealt with that somewhat here. Our refugee policies should favor the Boer, but we favor the likes of the “Lost Boys of Sudan”—more photogenic. Where do you think the Zim. farmers fled to? The U.S.? No. Most left for South Africa, as far as I know. Some might have had British passports. The Boers don’t have that.

I sent you an email about this documentary about 10 days ago with the links to the film clips. One part of the Carte Blanche Documentary is still available here.

There is also a Sky News clip.

This documentary shows the brutal premeditated murders of the white farmers in South Africa with sadistic gratuitous violence perpetrated by the blacks. Sky News reported that there was evidence that the murders were condoned and instigated by the ANC as genocide against the white population. A black ANC politician of course denied it. However Mandela was once filmed calling for genocide against whites and the elites just ignored this.

I think it is important to watch these films and follow the situation because this too will be our future if we do not get our act together. WE too are surrendering our land, countries and heritage to the barbaric and savage races of the world who hate us and the Moslems are infinitely better organised and more dangerous than the blacks. Our future could be much worse.

It is also very revealing that all the liberals who opposed apartheid have left South Africa. Coetzee the Nobel Prize winning novelist who campaigned for the abolition of apartheid, left for Australia last year after declaring South Africa was now destroyed beyond repair (thanks in part to his activities). He had the money to do that. For many South Africans their country has been destroyed and their investments made worthless. Their future is grim due to positive discrimination (anti white racism) and there is no way out for most. A beautiful well run country has become a dangerous hell hole.

The cries of the Imam’s on Chanel 4’s Dispatches last week to “kill kufirs” echo those of Nelson Mandela and the ANC made some years ago. We are sleep walking into the same future. These barbarians mean what they say. Why don’t people realise that? It is just a matter of time until we have the kidnappings and beheadings and bombings which are happening in Iraq.

Don’t look now, but the same thing is happening in the American Southwest. I’ve been actively advocating strong border control since the late 1980s. Recently, it was interesting to dredge up out of my memory about 25 names—high-profile and low—of persons who, back in those days, either actively supported illegal immigration from Mexico or at least downplayed it as ever being a negative factor in the quality of life in Los Angeles. Thanks to online resources now available, I did some tracking and discovered that not one of them still lives in L.A. anymore, and most now live in states far from California. Interestingly, and entirely coincidentally I’m sure, states with a low (so far) population of illegal Mexicans (Washington, Montana, Hawaii, etc) seemed to be popular destinations for these former Californians.

Twenty years ago, all of these people very loudly espoused lofty, romanticized views of Mexicans. Now that there’s an opportunity to experience the effects of their advocacy of the Mestizo culture in an up-close and personal way on a 24/7 basis, they’re nowhere around. Go figure.

LA replies:

Stephen should write up an article on this.

Really glad you brought this up. It’s a very important issue as we may face this here soon. Can I offer a constructive suggestion? I recommend that VFR readers join the NRA and make sure they are well armed should this come to pass.

Last December, in an article called, “The Ugly Truth About Democratic South Africa,” Ilana Mercer wrote:

Take the travails of my extended family. Ordinarily, a one-case study does not a rule make. But not in this instance—you’d be hard pressed to find a family in democratic South Africa whose members have not been brutalized by barbarians. Mine includes a sister-in-law suffering permanent neurological damage after being assaulted by five Africans; a brother burglarized and beaten in his suburban fortress at 2:00am by an African gang (wife and infant son were miraculously spared). My father’s neighbor was shot point-blank in front of his little girls, as he exited his car to open the garage gates. My husband’s cousin and uncle were hijacked; aunt beaten within an inch of her life and raped. Two of his colleagues (that we know of) were murdered; one shot by African taxi drivers in broad daylight, as he left his girlfriend’s apartment.

I know a South African couple who are not yet citizens but whose daughter was born here. They mention how they got out because the future looks bleak for their White children. He is fairly frank about admitting, in a general, non-specific way, that the black majority is the source of this bleak future. But they still seem essentially liberal. They are Methodists so I suppose their liberal Christianity plays a role. I suppose they also could be keeping up appearances in liberal America. But they choose to live in a “diverse” city to be close to his work rather than living in the nearby “white-bread” community my family lived in and driving 10-15 miles so I have to believe they are racial liberals.

You’d think the vast majority of South Africans would be unapologetic hard-righters yet I get the impression many are still liberals. This is recurring and disturbing thought that I keep dwelling on. That people like this still can’t give up their liberalism. You have said it may take catastrophe to wake people up. But isn’t South Africa darn near a catastrophe for whites?

David H. writes:

With this tragic story, you have brought up something that is even more important than the darkness of Islam, and indeed quite related to the peril we face. Excepting a change that must come soon, South Africa is not only the fate of America, it is the fate of the entire white race. White liberals literally despise their own race—the one that provided them with the technological and medical advancements that enable liberals to live long lives and destroy as much of the culture as they can—and they seek its death. Why else champion the submergence of the white race in a cauldron of racial fusion (such as Kondracke, et al, suggest)? Why else teach that each and every evil, real or imagined, is the fault of white people (especially men, who are a deliberate target; if you make him undesirable in the eyes of white women, you kill the entire race)? Why else celebrate racist miscreants like Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad, while ignoring the enormous sacrifice of the Union soldier and the greatness of men like Washington and Lincoln? Why allow an exclusively black Black Caucus, approve of the white-liberal-supported (and utterly racist) NAACP, hide story after story of black-on-white crime (gang rapes being quite common; murder as well) while immediately embracing the Duke lie without even investigating the facts? The “MSM” has never, and will never, report on black atrocities in Zimbabwe and South Africa. They created the image that the blacks embraced the whites after power became theirs, and they must (for their agenda purposes) maintain that lie at all costs, no matter how many whites are brutally tortured and slain (horrors that the previous white regimes never came close to committing). To put it simply, most liberals—of all stripes—do not care.

What struck me hardest in these two articles is the comparison between South Africa then, and America now. How many times do we see whites shouted down by minorities (or violent leftists), only to cower and turn over the “debate” to those most obnoxious, vocal, and violent ? When power is in the hands of the Other, he will not play by our (often suicidal) rules, he will not “embrace diversity”, “stand in solidarity with homosexuals”, “respect women’s rights”. He will treat the conquered in the manner that Tammerlane treated his victims.

Thank you for addressing this truth, that no “conservative” weakling will dare discuss, yet menaces the very future of our civilization.

I found your site by accident—linking through looking for info on another topic.

I was pleased to see the warning from Gemma Meyer posted on your site. I saw and read that warning several months ago. I believe she is completely right.

I have also been finding out more info on the SA farm murders. I knew conditions in SA were bad, but I did not know how horrific the crime had become.

There is a website you may want to see: www.africancrisis.org. It is a hard news site operated by South African people in SA! The owner of the site and others have been carefully documenting the excesses of the communists in former Rhodesia and SA.

An interesting piece of information has surfaced about the farm murders. Initially, it seemed that whites were the primary targets. Now, information is surfacing on the site that indicates that black farm workers associated with the white farms or even black commercial farms have been murdered at an even higher rate than whites. This is surmised because many times the murderers attack the black farm workers’ family and children to extract information about the white farm owner. In the process, both innocent blacks and whites are murdered. Strange, is it not, that when the white government was in control in SA there was nothing too trivial for the MSM to ignore. Now that the black communists are in charge, all is well in SA. The hypocrisy is disgusting. South Africa is falling apart; whites and blacks are being brutalized; and our leftist elites do not give a damn. Nothing like this ever happened under the Afrikaner government. Further proof the MSM will not play fair…..they have not intent for fairness. Ever.

There are extensive photos on this site of murder vicitms both black and white. The photos are graphic. However, this physical evidence is important. It is a graphic reminder of what our enemies will do to us if we allow it.

Van Wijk wites:

If you are truly interested in the plight of the Boers, I can recommend an excellent website. It is called African Crisis and is run by Jan Lamprecht, author of the book Government By Deception.

Mr. Lamprecht is sometimes difficult to get ahold of. Anti-white oppression in SA is very real, and I think Mr. Lamprecht himself tries to keep below the radar of the authorities while still speaking the truth to those who will listen.

For EXTREMELY graphic photos of SA farm murders, click the link for the photo gallery and then the link for Farm Murders in South Africa, 1994-Present. Note especially photo #4 of an infant.

(Some of the links across the top are a bit odd, and you may need to right-click, Open in new window for them to function.)

I like to tell myself that we as a race have not risen up because stuff like this really doesn’t come to the surface media-wise. I don’t know if that’s the truth anymore. A part of me is beginning to think that we do know about it, but the part of us that would be outraged is already dead. If photos and stories like these can’t rally us to action, what will?
