print“Into the cannibal’s Pot is brilliant, exceeding all my expectations; it is very courageous of Ilana also to attack the whole notion of ‘democracy.’ This is a much-needed shot at a holy cow.”
– DAN ROODT, Ph.D., noted Afrikaner activist, author, literary critic, director at PRAAG.
The word about my book is spreading—and will continue to spread slowly. But not without your help. I’d like to take the opportunity to ask readers to please review the just-released “Into the Cannibal’s Pot: Lessons For America From Post-Apartheid South Africa,” on Amazon.
Many of you have read “Into the Cannibal’s Pot.” Thank you for the glowing (if somber) messages sent via email and Facebook.
However, a better way to help my work and its mission is to post your reviews to Amazon. Us talking among ourselves will achieve nothing in raising awareness of the issues covered in depth and in detail in the book.
And you don’t have to have purchased the book from Amazon to review it on the site.
The Kindle, e-book version, is available from Amazon too. Please note that you can purchase the lower-cost Kindle copy of “The Cannibal” without having to own a Kindle – all you need is a PC. This hyperlink describes the free Amazon software application for the PC. So you do not require a gadget to read the book on Kindle.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
ilana
UPDATE I: THE SILENCE OF CELEBRITIES. Abelard Lindsey: Yes, I read Wilbur Smith’s novels in my teens. How am I to know what he thinks of the reality, as I describe it in my book (which has 800 plus endnotes), or if he thinks about it at all? We know Charlize Theron doesn’t think too hard. Lots of celebrities don’t think. That doesn’t mean you, the reader, should follow suit. Or that you should deduce anything from the silence of celebrities. The fact that a rich dude has a farm in CT, where I’m from, does not mean the “area is not adversely affected.”
The rich are more likely to afford high-quality private security than the average South African, whose right to bears arms has been severely infringed. The sub-chapter titled “Your Home: The ANC’s Castle,” in Chapter One: “Crime, The Beloved Country,” tells of what remains of gun rights in South Africa.
Take your cues from South African celebrity and Afrikaner activist, Steve Hofmeyr.
UPDATE II (June 24): As readers pointed out, the Cape’s demographics are different (and I thought I could duck that one on the blog!) However, it is still a relatively high-crime province when compared to where I live in the Pacific Northwest.
And farms (as I document in my book) are always under threat of expropriation by stealth. How? A “tribe” squats on the farmers property, cuts the fences, steals the crops, kills the livestock in slow torturous ways (cutting the calf muscles…), and claims the land in the newly indigenized courts. That’s homesteading in the New South Africa.
Any animal activists out there? Care about animals? Read the section titled “Killing God’s Creatures” in Chapter 2 of Into the Cannibal’s Pot.
Ilana,
Being that you are from South Africa and have authored a book, I’m sure that you know who the South African writer, Wilbur Smith, is. What does he think about all of the changes in South Africa? I hear he owns and lives on a big ranch in the Southern part of the country, near Cape Town. Perhaps this area is not as adversely affected as the Pretoria/Johannesburg area.
Abelard Lindsey,
You are ideed correct (and so is Ilana). Cape Town, in the Western Cape is not as adversly affected as is Johannesburg and Pretoria in the Gauteng area. The Western Cape is governed by the DA and not the ANC who governs the rest of the provinces in SA. How much this fact in itself has to do with the difference in crime statistics I’m not sure (I doubt it makes such a big difference – after all the DA does not materialy differ from the ANC ideologically – but it may contribute thereto). What it does tell us though, seeing that elections in SA is nothing more than a racial sensus, is something about the difference in demographics of the Western Cape and Gauteng.
The Western Cape od South Africa actually relatively safe compared to the rest of the country. I must however point out that this is because the traditional demographic that vote for the ANC are only 25% of the population here. Make of that what you will. Although recently there were more than a few high-profile farm attacks in the Stellenbosch and Swartland districts, Where we cultivate our world-class wines.
SPREADING THE WORD RE “INTO THE CANNIBAL’S POT”…
The book makes one see…truly see…how world events are meant to move all of us towards a Mob-Rule society limited only by those self-anointed DISPENSERS of food, clothing, shelter, and money at the expense of producers and achievers.
[Hope you’re writing your Amazon review, D.]
Awareness and Publicity is the goal because, even if negative, the word gets out there.
I hope as many as posssible respond to your suggestions. The message in “Into the Cannibal’s Pot” is crucial to understanding the enemies of the law and order required for a safe and prosperous society. Nothing in the activities of the government of South Africa, or the government of The United States, is even remotely promoting safety, law or order. This includes military and personal security as well as the economy.
