Google has “African Addio” in the video section. This is the whole 2 hour version (and I believe it is uncensored?). It is fascinating to watch. [I watched 5 minutes; very repetitive. Perhaps you can precis it for readers.]

If the above link does not work —go to google video and search “african addio”

Ilana, you were there when this was filmed??? eh??

I wanted to post my comment on your other article

but I guess the comment section on it is switched off.

I am from India. India in the past, gave shelter (rather welcomed as desirable guests) the Jews and the Zoroastrians (when they were persecuted elsewhere), and the Syrian Christians, when they too were persecuted by the muslims. I wonder why at present the Indian goverment, does not extend a similar invitation to the Boers.

The Hindus will be glad to host anyone who is genuinely persecuted, but as elsewhere in world, the “democratically elcted” government rarely reflects the views and the intent of the silent majority. They are busy being politically correct, or appeasing minorities (or the fake persecuted ones) which amounts to the same.

South Africa will also be lost to those who built the country and made it what it once was. I imagine that the only hope white South Africans have is to fight for what is theirs but success will be difficult to acheive and… brutal. I wish them luck!

This gives rise to the depressing thought that perhaps liberal civilization has spread about as far as it’s going to in the foreseeable future.

We’re probably going to disagree on the causes and consequences of this, but it doesn’t make the long-term prospects for peace look good, no matter whose ideal drives foreign policy.

The writing’s on the wall for SA. I’d suggest emulating Ilana and immigrating. It’s a pity we won’t take you all here in America; but I’d suggest learning how the system here works and getting started. Basically, the “family reunification” rules make it a bootstrapping affair, where you need to get one member of an extended family in to sponsor the rest.

Of course, this takes time, and it’s definitely worthwhile to fight crime in SA using the concept of gun rights to hold off the looters as long as possible, and give as many as possible the chance to flee in time.

The very idea that we can petition that bunch of post stone-age thugs to please be nice is ludicrous at best and just illuminates the incredible ignorance of the western public. Come on people. Wake up and smell the coffee. We live in the real world. We don’t live in a rerun of “Leave it to Beaver”.

Thank you very much for the interesting recommendations. I fully agree with them.

The situations seems to be that culturally, they’re not ready. Western Civilization is the product of thousands of years of unique developments and ideas. It’s very fragile and it’s something that probably cannot be “instituted” within a generation of illiterate people given newfound “freedom”. Secondly, it seems that most of Africa is economically setup for some of what we see in places like SA. Where you have multitudes of illiterate poor who now have the chance to take what they can get violently and without recourse, many of them will. Granted, it’s always a minority of the population even among poor that will do so, but that large minority will have a devastating effect of destabilizing society. Lastly, their leadership is dumb, greedy, and inept. They’re either extremely short-sighted or they are wholly self-serving and have no love of country, willing to ride the gravy train that ultimate power bestows upon them and then flee when it all runs out.

Petitions will have zero effect in a society like that. Heck, it often has zero effect in civilized Western societies. Only the threat of and use of controlled force seems to be the answer.
