Ironic indeed. Misery ensues. Prayers needed.

The 2010 world cup is already a total disaster. Tourists will get raped, robbed and murdered here and hopefully this will open the eyes of the world and help south africans to get refugee status in other countries.

The silence is deafening as was the case with Zimbabwe. Only there will be far more bloodshed and suffering among the minorities here and South Africa will make Zimbabwe seem like a Sunday school excursion in comparison. Western Goverments like France, Netherlands and the United Kingdom should recognize what is going on and threaten the ANC goverment with economic sanctions and Military action if there is any large scale land invasions and genocidal attacks like what happened against the illegal immigrants in the South African townships during 2008.They were willing to attack Iraq on trumped up and false charges about so called weopons of mass destruction. They however did nothing about Rwanda and Zimbabwe and will turn the blind eye toward what is happening over here because there is no money to be made out of oil. Our blood will be on the hands of all Western Goverments who do not aknowledge that the threat to us is real. We demand that all white South Africans qualify for refugee status in Western Countries and that we are assisted in creating a Afrikaner goverment in exile to protect the righs of our people.

While they deny that they are planning to turn South Africa into the next Zimbabwe in the media so as not to jeapordize the World Cup, they continue to demonize the white minority especialy Boer Farmers as the cause of all that is wrong with this country. They are just using the same tactics Mugabe used by blaming a minority for their lack of delivery on Zanu PF’s promises made to their electorate. This ANC goverment are just trying to do enough damage control so that the World will not start to stay away from this sporting spectacle that will ultimately ruin this countries economy. This goverment is either incapable of stopping Malema and his proposed polocies or they are endorsing him and his viewpoints. When one reads the goverments reaction on discussions with agricultural unions and the way they shift the blame onto the white’s and farmers in general, I can only come to the conclusion that they are planning to exterminate the Afrikaner people and to distribute our possesions among themselves to appease the uneducated masses. The irony is that even if they do this the masses will not benefit from this course of action, the ANC elite will benefit but the average black man in the street will suffer a far worse fate than he is currently experiencing. Famine and disease as well as political persecution for all people speaking out against these practises are the future for this once promising country. The irony is the west does not care about us their kin folk and silently endorse this crime. Please read the below article published on news 24 today and you will realize that this goverment is determined to go ahead with this crazy policy.

ANC: Farmers to blame for attacks
2010-04-21 09:28

Lizel Steenkamp, Beeld
Cape Town – It’s farmers’ fault that many farms are unsafe, ANC MPs said on Tuesday.

André Botha, chair of Agri SA’s policy committee on rural safety, said during a presentation to the portfolio committee on police that the derogatory statements about white farmers made by government officials and senior politicians, is one of the biggest challenges.

Patrick Chauke, ANC MP, dismissed this.

“Political statements are the least of your worries. Organised agriculture knows all too well that they are the cause of the problems. The police try their best, but the solution lies with you,” he said to Botha.

Chauke carried on to argue that farm workers are abused, and that illegal immigrants are “held prisoner” by farmers.

“Most of the cattle theft is committed by the farmers themselves. And they sell alcohol to the people who live on the farm.”

Aggressive farmers

According to Sindi Chikunga, ANC MP and committee chair, there are many kind-hearted farmers.

“But it’s also a fact that there are many violently aggressive farmers and you (Agri SA) should publicly condemn them.”

Allegations were also made that farmers are reluctant to become police reservists and don’t want to get involved with community policing forums and sector policing.

Botha, who is a police reservist, told Beeld afterwards that he was extremely unhappy about what happened during the meeting. He dismissed and denied the statement that farmers don’t want to help the police to secure their farms.

“We try our best to get involved (with sector policing), but the systems and the incompetent people (within the police) prevent our participation.”

Botha said the government is not doing its duty to protect farmers, and then it wants to shift all the responsibility onto the organised agriculture sector.

“I’m an ordinary citizen with certain rights. The politicians should acknowledge where the responsibility lies. It’s their duty to govern. To leave the ball in our court… No, I am definitely not comfortable with that.”

Food security under threat

According to Agri SA’s statistics, over the past 18 years there have been up to 11 785 farm attacks and 1 804 farmers were murdered. Up to 121 000 livestock, worth about R365m, was stolen in the 2008-’09 financial year alone.

Botha warned that commercial agriculture can’t absorb these losses indefinitely and that food security is under threat.

Agri SA supports the government’s plan for rural safety and prefers it to the old commando system.

But Botha said the plan is falling apart due to an enormous lack of leadership, management and controls within the police. Resources are abused, there’s corruption and most station commanders don’t know how to apply sector policing in rural areas.

Cope MP Mluleki George supported the ANC’s position and said Agri SA, which represents about 80% of the country’s commercial farmers, should accept their co- responsibility for the safety of farmers and farm workers.

The latest statistics regarding attacks and murders on farms will be available in May, when police officials present their plan for rural security to Parliament.

http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/

Traditional African field-writing signposting is a method used to provide information to attackers by “spies”, usually someone close to the victim or someone who was able to get information about the victim’s routine. This method is also used in the urban areas. It constists inter alia of the stategic placing of emty bottles, cans, wrappers etc. with different colours/objects/positioning all having different meanings for instance what type of resistance can be expected.(thats why, even though I do not know the meaning of all the signs, when I get home at night I pick up anything that is lying outside my property, even though it may be “innocent”).

The report refered to above concludes that his murder was not something that happened on the spur of the moment, but rather that it was planned over an extensive period of time. Perhaps by Government to provoke action from whites.

This is a three-year old link to an article I’d previously posted on BAB, following the murder of Anglo-Zulu War historian David Rattray. At the time, some business leaders met with (then-President) Mbeki to try and persuade him to deal with the crime issue in a serious manner, but backed down after the meeting.

Naturally, the situation has not gotten better on its own, only worse.

I am acutely aware of Ilana’s efforts to help us. She should be commended.

Stopping this would prove impossible for the present government in SA. They are simply too inept to carry out any action that won’t further erode their own legitimacy. The only chance the Boer have is that the government will become so “hollowed out” that they can band together on smaller plots, meaning some will have to give up their land.

These farms are to spread out to defend without a lot more manpower and most of the young men seem to leave at the first opportunity… and who could blame them. Unless the Boer centralize their manpower and do their own farming they will fall one by one. There’s no future in SA, not for Boer or Black African.

When these things start to escalate they tend to get worse. There may be an all out uprising in the near future. If so, Heaven help the farmers. Lord knows the government won’t help. In fact the government probably will give it’s tacit support.

I think very soon the Boers will reach a threshold offering only two choices: break the law and begin defending themselves with force, or be annihilated.

Maybe the blacks no longer feel they should have to wait for Mandela to die.
