Mbeki Puts On Thinking Cap To Wrestle With Crime

South-Africa

“My apologies; I’ve misled readers about my native South Africa. I called it the most violent place on earth outside a war zone. I was wrong. BBC World recently and reluctantly disclosed that South Africa jostles with Iraq and Columbia for the title of most violent country in the world, war zones included. …President Thabo Mbeki ignored the BBC’s otherwise incontinent exhilaration about everything else South-African, choosing instead to frame as racism the network’s newfound realism vis-Ã -vis crime. Mbeki wields this ad hominem like an assegai. He is, however, much less adept at logic.”

More on Mbeki’s response to the reality of crime in South Africa in my latest WND column, “Mbeki Puts on Thinking Cap to Wrestle With Crime.”

Safran On South Africa

South-Africa

John Safran interviewed me about the extermination of the Boers of South Africa. He is the witty host of a program called “Sunday Night Safran,” on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. I don’t know of any one else in Western media covering this atrocity. So far, 5 percent of the farming community has been slaughtered in a manner that would make Shaka and Dingane proud. John Writes:

Hi Ilana.

Hope you are well.

We interviewed Gregory H. Stanton of Genocide Watch yesterday. We had heaps of feedback after your appearance. Some were skeptical of your figures (2,000 out of 40,000 Boer farmers murdered) because they couldn’t be corroborated by three seconds of googling. Gregory backed up your figures, spelt out how he sourced them, and explained that the sadistic nature of the killings (as oppose to murder as incidental to robbery) makes them troubling to scholars of genocide.

If you’re interested in hearing him, the show will be live-streamed and podcasted as per last time.

All the best,
John

You can listen to Gregory H. Stanton here. The pod thing should was posted on Sunday, February 18.

On Petitioning ANC Kleptocrats About Crime in South Africa

Government, South-Africa

I keep getting petitions—plaintive pleas I am asked to sign, destined for the government of South Africa, to make it stop crime.
The premise here is worse than naïve: just let those good old thugs at the African National Congress know you’ve had enough of the pillage and murder around you, and they’ll break down in tears, and do something. After all, they do have good intentions and are such able individuals—each and every one. All this bunch of underutilized talent needs to do, apparently, is to allocate more money to the “South African Police Service’s —mostly an illiterate, ill-trained force, riven by feuds, fetishes, and factional loyalties,” and often complicit in crime.

C’mon, South Africans, if you want to survive, you have to rediscover your proverbial male appendages: demand the thugs stop stripping you of your guns–take to the streets with those; not with petitions and scented candles–and demand your old police force back, not the new warlord force, and above all, understand and prepare for what’s in store for you.

I’ll help from here, but I won’t petition a bunch of oleaginous kleptocrats, who encourage the idea of black entitlement, and who’ve set the minority population up for a shakedown–and worse–the likes of which has not been witnessed since Zimbabwe, RIP.

On The Australian Broadcasting Corporation

Ilana On Radio & TV, Media, South-Africa

I’ll be speaking to John Safran of The Australian Broadcasting Corporation about my article the genocide of the Boers in “democratic” South Africa. The program is “Sunday Night Safran,” and it will air on “Triple J,” between 9 and 11pm on Sunday, February 4, Australian Eastern Summer Time, or between 2 and 4am Pacific Standard Time. You can listen live on the web by going to and following the links. Or you can access the broadcast as a podcast, following the show at http://www.abc.net.au/triplej/listen/podcast.htm#safran.
John is the first member of the media to have shown interest in the tragedy of South Africa, as far as I know, and to have a realistic perspective of what’s going down there (as opposed to these “flaccid fools”; the one a mongrel paleoconservative, the other a neocon). The West —America in the lead —has betrayed certain endangered bastions of western civilization, South Africa being one; Serbia another. Israel is next, although its own leaders are doing a fine job of it.
In any event, I believe South Africa is one of the defining stories of our times. The manner in which it was betrayed —through sanctions and international incitement —makes a mockery of our claim to be fighting to maintain Western civilization. What has arisen there is anything but.

Unlike very many Americans, John was remarkably relaxed and did not become apoplectic given the politically incorrect topic of discussion. I hope to get to chat with him again, so that I can improve my output. Being a typical writer, I tend to be reclusive. Put it this way: I haven’t adopted the circus animal persona of the modern pundit, and am unlikely to change.
