 Tired of Black Apartheid denying white S. Africans their rights in accordance with the International Covenant on Civil & Political Rights (Res. 2200; 18 July ‘76)? Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999) provide S. Africa’s minorities with international legal standing for Secession and Self Determination, -- like Kosovo -- by the “recognition of a human community within a sovereign state enjoying a right to self-determination.” |
Two VDare OpEds, which bring together a large number of the underlying corruption, ideological, crime, et al factors and circumstances in South Africa; that provide context to Huntley's White Refugee Application; which most news articles negligently or intentionally fail to include:"Increasingly, whites are economic slaves," he writes. "They pay 80 percent of personal taxes, despite earning only 50 percent of total salaries. Afrikaners as a group pay the highest portion of overall tax in South Africa -- 36 percent -- while white English-speakers pay 32 percent. When he was in exile in Britain, [President Thabo] Mbeki is reputed to have said, 'We will suck the whites dry,' and that is more or less what is happening. South Africa is like a small, first-world economy like that of Denmark or Norway, still run by whites, but which must support a welfare state for 40 million blacks and Coloreds."
-- Dr. Dan Roodt
The New York Times in 1998 reported that some 500 white farmers had been murdered since 1994, and last summer World Net Daily reported that 1,200 have been murdered since that year, with some 6,000 attacks against white farmers. "It's politically correct to kill whites these days," one white farmer told World Net Daily's correspondent, who concluded that "the white Boer Afrikaner farmer is easily the highest at-risk group for murder on Earth."

First, They Came For South Africa. Then….
By Sam Francis
VDare
You don't hear much about South Africa these days, unless it's about all the trouble that country's white people are causing—or whatever white people remain there.
Since the "apartheid system" was dismantled in 1994 and a "black majority democracy" "liberated" the country, more and more whites leave—mainly because so many have been murdered by black criminals whom the government of the "black majority democracy" refuses or is simply unable to control.
The most recent report about South Africa in what in this country is often called the "mainstream media" is a story about "white extremists" accused of plotting to overthrow the government or in one case to blow up a dam or set off bombs in downtown Johannesburg.
According to The Economist, a dozen men have been arrested for such offenses, but the magazine, which is about as "mainstream" as you can get in this country or Great Britain, dismisses what it calls the "deluded right-wing conspirators" as "paper tigers."
But in the media that is not so mainstream, at least in this part of the world, you hear somewhat different stories about South Africa. Thus, The Independent of South Africa on Saturday reported last week that a new study published in the South Africa Crime Quarterly, a law enforcement journal, finds that South Africans are more likely to be shot dead than to die in vehicle crashes. "An average of 55 South Africans are ... murdered every day," the paper reports, "more than in many countries which are at war." At 55 murders per day, the total number of murders per year is about 20,000, compared to about 16,000 for the United States. The latter, of course, has more than six times the population of South Africa.
A few years ago, South Africa's murder rate was said to be among the highest in the world, if not the highest. But the new "black majority democracy" banned the reporting of crime statistics because it discouraged foreign investment, so today no one really knows. In 1999 the Wall Street Journal called the level of violent crime in South Africa "astronomical," with some 24,500 murders and a per capita murder rate (26 per hundred thousand) four times that of the United States. Even The Economist allows that "right-wing terrorism" is fed by whites' fear of black violence and the government's refusal to control it.
The New York Times in 1998 reported that some 500 white farmers had been murdered since 1994, and last summer World Net Daily reported that 1,200 have been murdered since that year, with some 6,000 attacks against white farmers. "It's politically correct to kill whites these days," one white farmer told World Net Daily's correspondent, who concluded that "the white Boer Afrikaner farmer is easily the highest at-risk group for murder on Earth."
It's hardly surprising therefore that South Africa's foreign minister last week urged Western states to stop grousing about Zimbabwe, where government-backed black mobs have so far killed only a handful of white farmers but where the government itself has seized the land of some 3,000 whites.
Whatever criticisms the West has made of Zimbabwe could just as easily be applied to South Africa itself, so it makes sense for the black-ruled states to stick together.
It also makes sense for white-ruled states to stick together, but they don't. It's precisely because of what the United States, Western Europe, Great Britain and the Soviet Union did in the 1970s through the 1980s that whites in southern Africa today face the loss of their land, their livelihoods, their freedoms, and their lives.
The whites—and blacks, for that matter—of southern Africa were not delivered to tyranny and destruction by blacks but by other whites.
"The radical blacks hate us," the white South African farmer told World Net Daily last summer, "because we are strong, blonde, hard-working and productive. We came to South Africa and turned it into the richest country in the world, while before we came the locals had been here for many centuries and did nothing with the land."
The wife of yet another white farmer told the same reporter, "The farm invasion problem is not confined to South Africa. Look at Zimbabwe. Look at the call for white Australians to give their land back to the Aborigines. Look at the problems on the border with Mexico and the United States and the massive Third World immigration in Europe. European Western civilization is totally under siege by the New World Order elite."
What she says explains why so many whites are leaving the new democracies of southern Africa and why those who can't get out might be tempted to turn to terrorism.
If a South African housewife understands the big picture of which her country is a small part, why don't the leaders of the countries that betrayed their own people and civilization?

Black Rule Brings Inevitable To South Africa. New York Times Reports It, Sort Of.
By Ilana Mercer
VDare
Fourteen years and approximately 300,000 murders after black rule devastated my homeland, the New York Times is shocked to discover that South Africa is fast disappearing down the same hole into which Rhodesia, rest in peace, was dropped. [Post-Apartheid South Africa has entered an Anxious Era, by Barry Bearak , October 5, 2008)
I guess some latitude is in order. It took decades and piles of dead bodies before Robert Mugabe lost luster in the eyes of the American MainStream Media [MSM]. By the time the megalomaniac Mugabe was conferred with honorary doctorates (1984 and 1986) and a knighthood (1994), he had already done his "best" work: slaughter an estimated 20,000 innocent Ndebele in Matabeleland (1983), with whose leader, Joshua Nkomo, he refused to share power.
Western conventional wisdom was, well, no wiser.
Soon the sainted Nelson Mandela was released from jail. (I was on Cape Town’s Parade on that day; it was a riot, literally.) Madiba’s posse—the African National Congress [ANC]—were now the West’s new pet revolutionaries, and their next best hope for an African Renaissance.
Sideshow Bob Mugabe’s epic villainy to date was, evidently, nothing but a detail of history. An anomaly in the annals of Africa south of the Sahara. There were no lessons to be learned relevant to averting the destruction of another—this time the last—western outpost in Africa.
These days the NYT agonizes over the "regicide" "the governing African National Congress" committed by "deposing one of its own, President Thabo Mbeki, and replacing him with a stand-in for Mr. Mbeki’s archrival, Jacob Zuma."
The ANC may have behaved abruptly compared to the gentlemanly manner in which the Afrikaner National Party ceded power to it. "Surrender without defeat" is how (liberal) historian Hermann Giliomee termed that extraordinary leap of faith. The same people, in the same spirit, peacefully dismantled the six nuclear devices they had built at Pelindaba. (My good friend Afrikaner intellectual Dan Roodt analyses that magnanimity in his closely-argued, deliciously titled, "You Can’t Have Your Banana and Eat It.")
But otherwise, the ANCniks are living up to their reputation—and that of all other strongmen in strife-torn sub-Saharan Africa.
The NYT’s Bearak calls Jacob Zuma, who is about to usurp Mbeki as president, "polarizing". He hasn’t seen anything yet. This from the introduction to my upcoming book, Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons For America From Post-Apartheid South Africa:"Having spent most of his adult life abroad in exile, Mbeki’s mannerisms are those of an English gent, [VDARE.COM note: Specifically, he graduated from Sussex University, the same one Peter Brimelow went to] not a man of the people. But the baton has been passed from the pukka proper Mbeki to the populist polygamist Jacob Zuma, who dances half naked in tribal dress. In one of his Noble-Savage moments, Zuma promised, disarmingly, after forcing sex on an HIV-positive acquaintance, that he took a shower as a prophylactic against AIDS."
The NYT claims that "The country’s power company unfathomably ran out of electricity and rationed supply." (My emphasis)
Not quite. I’ve lived through Highveld thunder storms and Cape, South-Easter, gale-force winds. Few and far between were the blackouts. (I purchased a generator in the US, after experiencing my first three-day power outage.)
No, Eskom, the utility that supplied most of the electricity consumed on the continent, did not run out of juice. It just ran out of experienced engineers, expunged pursuant to Black Economic Empowerment policies. (Known in South Africa as "BEE", these are the equivalent of the racial quotas Barack Obama champions, only with many times the sting.)
Another "unfathomable" occurrence that helped disrupt South Africa’s electricity supply: the decision to buy coal from the spot market. Driven by BEE policies, here’s the sequence Eskom buyers followed: buy first from black women-owned suppliers, then small black suppliers, then large black suppliers, and only after all of these options had been exhausted (or darkness descended, whatever came first), from "other" suppliers.
The NYT reporter is half-right about one thing: "Since 1996, the black population has risen to a projected 38.5 million from 31.8 million." Unmentioned is the fact that the same population has been increasing since Europeans settled South Africa. Then again, "the crucial factor in South African politics was a much more rapid black population growth than anyone had anticipated," writes (liberal) historian (Hermann Giliomee The Afrikaners, p. 519).
Indeed, demographics were the raison d’être for apartheid. Demographics and a fear of communism and crime. (At least two of which have come to pass; Africans have overwhelmed Europeans numerically and criminally. Does that mean the Afrikaners were prescient?)
These, so far, are some of the NYT’s half truths. Now to the outright lies:
"The white population," writes Bearak, "has dropped to a projected 4.5 million from 4.8 million," since 1996. This is an astonishing underestimate. In my book, I report the estimate of the ultra-liberal South African Institute of Race Relations: the white population had shrunk from 5,215,000 in 1995 to 4,374,000 in 2005. Almost a fifth.
Chief among the reasons cited for the exodus is violent crime. South Africa has one of the highest murder rates and lowest conviction rates—the latter has risen recently to approximately ten percent—in the world.
Not that you’d know it from Bearak’s report, but even though whites make up less than ten percent of the total population, Afrikaner farmers (Boers) are being culled at the genocidal annual rate of 300 per 100,000 inhabitants. "Four times as high as is for the rest of the population," attests Dr. Gregory H. Stanton of Genocide Watch.
Yes, professional racism spotters like the NYT are ever so cavalier about this scandal, reporting amusedly that all that "people here one-up each other with tales of scalding and shooting and slicing and garroting."
The MSM is equally cavalier about the culprits: a thriving black criminal class and a corrupt black government.
And, of course, their enablers in the West.
Remember that when the MSM endorses Obama.
