 Given reporters' penchant for proclaiming to "tell both sides," to render all the news that's fit to print, to answer who? what? where? when? and why?, this leads naturally to the question: Why do reporters avoid the population issue so steadfastly? |
The liberal South African media are cheerleading Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Hon. Jason Kenney's Memorandum of Argument (PDF), in the Canadian Goverments Application for Review, of Immigration and Refugee Board, Mr. William Davis' decision (PDF).
Taking a look at their pages, they all provide links to the 142 Academics Open Letter to Canada (PDF), distancing themselves from Huntley as a 'racist' and alleging that there is no racially motivated crime in South Africa, nor that white South Africans feel particularly targetted. This was subsequently debunked: 142 Academics Get It Wrong on Crime (PDF); but none of these mainstream news media, make any effort whatsoever to attempt to even pretend they are trying to be impartial, and providing for all views to be heard.
Both aforementioned documents, and the latters evidentiary documents to substantiate its debunking claims against the Academics, were submitted to Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, Mr. Jason Kenney, as Respondent Ten, in High Court, Western Cape: #19963-09, Application for Review, with particular reference to [10] State of Effective Emergency: South Africa's Unrepresented White Refugees (PDF) (PDF:Proof of Service).

Canada seeks Huntley case review

 In an interview with CNN in Sept 2009, Robert Mugabe stated once again, his support for the Final Solution and Extermination of White Farmers from Zimbabwe, as the ‘best thing to have happened to an African nation’. “Africa for the Africans”... » » » » » » » Only 70 miles from a 2010 World Cup football stadium, a farmer's wife and a boy aged 13 learn to defend themselves with lethal weapons...

The Canadian government has slammed the ruling that granted asylum to "crime refugee" Brandon Huntley as perverse, irrational and based on a "jaundiced assessment" of South Africa.
Canadian Immigration Minister Jason Kenney wants that country's federal court to review immigration and refugee board chairman William Davis's decision to grant 31-year-old Huntley refugee status based on his race, and then to send Huntley's case back to the board for a rehearing.
Davis found that the South African government could not protect Huntley from persecution by "African South Africans", after hearing and accepting Huntley's evidence that he been attacked seven times by black South Africans and was called a "white dog" and a "settler".

In court papers, lawyers for Kenney tore into Davis for "equating random acts of violence and criminality which (Huntley) claims to have experienced in South Africa with persecution due to his race".
While noting that it was "indisputable" that crime was prevalent in South Africa, they stated that it affected all South Africans, regardless of their race.
Stating that the "onus rests on (Huntley) to show that the South African authorities are either unable or unwilling to offer him protection", the ministry said Huntley's explanation for why he failed to report any of the alleged attacks he had suffered was "unsupported by the evidence".
Huntley had "failed to discharge the heavy burden of showing that he was not required to seek protection from his own country before coming to Canada", they said.
Canadian government lawyers added that Davis's "disturbing" acceptance of Huntley's claims that he did not report the attacks because "the majority of the police are blacks who are not interested in protecting whites" was "flawed and unsupportable" for the following reasons:
- The first two attacks that Huntley claimed to have suffered were in 1991 and 1992, "when minority rule under apartheid was still in place in South Africa".
- There was "no evidence" that the apartheid police "would not have been interested in protecting a white person who had allegedly been assaulted by blacks".
- While Huntley had not reported any of the attacks on him, his own family had "no difficulties" in reporting a robbery that they suffered in 2005. The police had investigated the crime.
Ministry lawyers disputed Davis's claim that Huntley "would stand out like a 'sore thumb' due to his colour in any part of the country", calling it "unreasonable and perverse" to think Huntley would not fit in in large cities such as Pretoria or Cape Town, where whites make up close to 20 percent of the population.
They further argue that Davis relied too heavily on the evidence of Lara Kaplan, a recent South African immigrant, in his finding that white South Africans were the victims of "mass genocide".
The Canadian government said there was no evidence to support her genocide claims or her allegations about the hateful attitude of all black South Africans towards their white compatriots.
