A Dog Died on The Border

Crime, Environmentalism & Animal Rights, Homeland Security, IMMIGRATION

What was the name of that dog that died on the Arizona-Mexico border, presumably defending his rancher owner from a marauder who vanished into Mexico? Does anyone know? Put a face or a name to Robert Krentz’s faithful companion, and liberals, who really care for dogs, may come to care for their keepers, battling as they do, day-in and day-out, to keep criminal aliens off their property and away from their live stock.

The martyred dog’s owner was gunned down by a criminal alien whom he had gone to help. Arizona Rancher Krentz had raised cattle in the area of Cochise County for decades; his family had farmed along the Arizona-Mexico border for over a century.

Michelle Malkin has more.

This from “That Spot Of Bother On The Border”:

“In 2004, Time magazine described in detail how illegal aliens rushing the southern border commit property crimes and despoil the environment”:

When the crowds cross the ranches along and near the border, they discard backpacks, empty Gatorade and water bottles and soiled clothes. They turn the land into a vast latrine, leaving behind revolting mounds of personal refuse and enough discarded plastic bags to stock a Wal-Mart. Night after night, they cut fences intended to hold in cattle and horses. Cows that eat the bags must often be killed because the plastic becomes lodged between the first and second stomachs. The immigrants steal vehicles and saddles. They poison dogs to quiet them. The illegal traffic is so heavy that some ranchers, because of the disruptions and noise, get very little sleep at night.

Via Digger:

In February [2002 Krentz’] … calf was butchered by illegal alien trespassers. Two men responsible were caught. They were tried. They were found guilty. They served a total of 51 days in jail. They were also ordered to pay $200 in restitution to the Krentz ranch. The Krentz ranch has not seen a cent of that money; and, of course, our best guess is they will not because these people have been released. They either came back into the population up here in the U.S.A. or returned to Mexico.

Border animals are suffering. The four-legged creatures need your help, miserable liberals.

Update II: “Kill The F—–g Whites” In South Africa—Courtesy Of FaceBook

Africa, Crime, Race, Racism, South-Africa

The excerpt is from my column, “‘Kill The F—–g Whites’ In South Africa—Courtesy of FaceBook,” at VDARE.COM.

“In the ‘New South Africa,’ there is apparently a renewed appreciation for the old slogan ‘Kill the Boer, kill the farmer,’ chanted at political rallies and funerals during “The Struggle” (against apartheid).

Peter Mokaba, a youth leader in the ruling African National Congress party, is credited with originating the catch phrase. Mokaba went on to become a parliamentarian and a deputy minister in the Mandela cabinet.

By the time he expired in 2002 at the age of forty three (rumor has it of AIDS), Mokaba had revived the riff, using it liberally, in defiance of laws against incitement to commit murder. Given the mesmerizing, often murderous, power of the chant—any chant—in African life, many blame Mokaba for the current homicidal onslaught against the country’s white farmers.

Mokaba’s legacy lives on. Late in February of 2010, a senior member of the Pan Africanist Congress of Azania (PAC)—a competing socialist, racialist political party whose motto is “Africa for the Africans”—set-up a page on the social networking site Facebook. For all to see were comments such as the following, written by one Ahmed El Saud:

“Kill the f—–g whites now!!!'” …

Update I (April 3): Whatever Eugene Terre’Blanche was he did not do unto anyone what was done to him—and thousands of other Boer farmers like him: beaten with pipes and hacked with machetes at his farm, I presume, this week. The Observer is too slack or dismissive to bother with details or background to Mr. Terre’Blanche’s grisly demise.

The same source concentrates on the Nazi-like emblem of the Afrikaner Resistance Movement, or AWB, which Terre’Blanche led, claiming the AWB drew on the ideology of Nazism. I have not studied their cause, but the conclusion to which I’ve arrived in the course of writing my upcoming my book comports with the work of the Afrikaner’s historian of record, Hermann Giliomee. Apartheid was more a strategy for survival than a racial theory. Distractions aside, the AWB for all its blather, believed that with black rule would come all-out savagery, the kind that killed Terre’Blanche and 300,000 other victims since freedom (1994).

Have they been vindicated? You be the judge.

Update II: The indomitable Adriana Stuijt—other than folks at WND and me, she is the only other journalist in the “free world” who has been documenting the carnage—keeps an Alphabetical list of the names of the dead.

Ms. Stuijt quotes Terre’Blanche’s family: “‘My dad sometimes went to sleep on the farm to look after the livestock. We are tremendously shocked. The family suspects that he was murdered by two or more people.'”

In Memoriam Anika Smit

Crime, Democracy, Race, Racism, South-Africa

As you’ve gleaned by now, my book about South Africa is not an insta-book. By the time Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons For America From Post-Apartheid South Africa is completed (almost there) it will have taken three years to write. The other day, I had to make a sad addition to the book:

When he bid his bonny (and only) child goodbye before leaving the home they shared in north Pretoria, Johan Smit did not imagine that he’d never again see Anika alive. On Wednesday, March 12, 2010, seventeen-year-old Anika Smit was raped, her throat slashed sixteen times and her hands hacked off. Naked and mutilated is how her father found her on returning that day from work.

In South Africa the preying majority is killing off the powerless minority. In America, the demos is drunk on the power of the state to assist it in pilfering from its betters.

Democracy.

So wrote Joseph Stack, the pilot of a Piper Cherokee plane, before he crashed into an office building in Austin, Texas, that housed IRS offices.

What transpires when a government says to a desperate citizen, vaguely conscious of his natural rights, “Your earnings are not exclusively your own; we have a claim on them, and our claim precedes yours; we will allow you to keep some of it, because we recognize your need, not your right; but whatever we grant you for yourself is for us to decide”?

What transpires when times get particularly tough. And they just take and take and take what’s not theirs to take. So Joseph Stack said, “Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let’s try something different …”

However you slice it, there is no moral difference between a lone burglar who steals stuff he doesn’t own and an “organized society” that does the same. In a just society, the moral rules that apply to the individual must also apply to the collective. A society founded on natural rights must not finesse theft.

The founders intended for government to safeguard the natural rights of Americans. The 16th Amendment gave government a limitless lien on their property and, by extension, on their lives. Joseph Stack took his, in the hope of taking out some of them.

Update: Repetition is a theme on this blog. So I will cut-and-paste my last reply to the exact same moral equivalence the provocative, if repetitive, Myron has already advanced. How about coming at me with a new angle? I’m being made to go around in circles. Here goes from our last debate about anti-state violence:

MORAL/INTELLECTUAL EQUIVALENCE. Conflating the causes for which McVeigh, for example, committed his cruel crime against agents and family of an oppressive government with the causes of the “Unabomber, Hitler, Stalin,” is akin to conflating MY causes with those of Myron’s taxonomy of the evil, again the “Unabomber, Hitler, Stalin.”

What sort of moral relativism is this? What kind of messy thinking is this? The causes and theories of the Unabomber, Hitler, Stalin were wrong on their logic and facts; McVeigh’s causes and motivation, if not his deeds, were right. What’s so hard about that?

Stack is justified in his anger against the shakedown agency and its agents who partake in pillaging their countrymen. He’s wrong to try and kill them. I feel so lame saying this, but it’s the safe thing to say. Incidentally, Rachel Maddow of MSNBC was more sympathetic than Fox’s statists on steroids.
