Meyer and Shareen Blair Brysac. From the title, one wouldn’t suspect that the book had anything to do with Africa in general, or South Africa, in particular; however, in an early chapter, the issue of “regime change” is covered. Turns out that large deposits of gold were discovered in the Transvaal, a Boer republic of the time; and Cecil Rhodes in 1895 along with others schemed to provide a rebellion (the failed “Jameson Raid”) whose goal was to promote an uprising among the British citizens living in that location. It didn’t work, despite the best efforts of many including London Times journalist Flora Shaw (a forerunner of Judith Miller of the New York Times) but the ultimate result was the Second Boer War in which many Boer civilian women and children died in British concentration camps (as Conrad, above, notes.)

We don’t hear much about that in America; we are, after all of British descent in our political system if not ethnicity. Yes, our (clueless) President Obama recently welcomed Jacob Zuma; but so did Queen Elizabeth. I wonder if the plight of Boer farmers was raised at either state occasion.

Secondly, for those who still believe the issue of black on white crime is overstated (or whites deserve what they get), look at the following link (scroll down in the section headed “Boycott 2010 World Cup):

BE WARNED, IT IS EXTREMELY GRAPHIC.

Maybe you have already seen this, if not please beware the images are very disturbing and graphic. I mere looked at the first image and could not bring myself to look any further.

My name is Conrad Jacobs and I am a Boer living in South Africa. I am a 38year old white man with a University degree I am married to a wonderful Christian woman and we have been blessed by the Lord with a beautiful little girl that has just turned 2 years old. My wife is also expecting a second child in these trying times for our people and this country. Thank you very much for writing such a balanced and true article.

We are really staring genocide in the face, according to official statistics about 50 000 whites have been murdered in South Africa since 1994 when peace and the Rainbow Nation was officially brought upon this country. Almost 3 times that figure (150 000) white woman have been raped since 1994. I can assure you these were not crimes that were perpetrated by white people upon white people in 99% of the cases these people were victims of lawless black gangs that roam the cities and countryside. As you stated white farmers are fair game to be hunted and killed in the most savage ways and the government endorses singing of songs by its leaders that encourage their illiterate supporters to perpetrate these acts. It is common practise for black policemen to arrest white males on trumped up charges and then to put them into jail cells with up to a hundred black prisoners many with HIV. This has led to many white men being sodomised by these prison gangs.

Our government is actively implementing laws that are disarming legal licensed gun owners (Mostly whites) saying this will curb crime. While the police force officially Lost or had stolen 4000 Berretta 9mm pistols during the year of 2009. Our country is being overrun with illegal guns like AK47’s flooding in to our country from Mozambique and our friendly neighbour Zimbabwe. Also most crimes and bank robberies/farm attacks that involve guns are committed by gangs armed with AK47 rifles as well as R5 Rifles the official service rifle of the South African Defence force. It seems we are paying taxes so criminal gangs can be armed by the state to murder and rob us, while they are saying it is our legal hunting rifles, shotguns and handguns that are being stolen that is the cause of these violent crimes. We do not own assault rifles and military weapons so where they get their facts is a mystery. It is a desperate attempt to leave us totally helpless for when they finally decide to take us out Rwanda style. Gun control is known to precede Genocide especially if it targets a specific group, look at Rwanda, Nazi Germany, Cambodia and many more.

All these things happen and no one in Europe or the USA gives a dam, if it were whites doing this to blacks or Christians to Muslims like in Bosnia the whole world would have been up in arms about this. But hey it is white’s that are robbed and killed by blacks who were supposedly disadvantaged by the evil practises of the Christian Civilization so that makes it OK.

Everybody in the world including our own black ANC government recognizes the need and supports the establishment of a Palestinian State to bring stability to the Middle East, but the Boer people has no right to this according to them. We have been here since 1652, we built all the infrastructure that is here, we cultivated farms and mined the minerals of this country. We fought the British for 3 years (1899 to 1902) to protect our freedom and self determination. In this process 26000 Boer/Afrikaner woman and children died in British concentration camps a quarter of the total Boer woman and children in the 2 Boer republics at that stage. We were officially recognized as a nation and a people by none other than the British Empire the superpower of the world at that time. They had legally recognized us with the peace treaty they signed with us at Vereeniging. Now the whole world believes the Palestinians should have a homeland and that Israel is a legal state, but the Boer People are not worthy of such a thing and we are not a recognized Nation. It smacks of hypocrisy, does it not.

We had legal tender over the land, something we voluntarily surrendered in 1994. We had the most prosperous country in Africa with the highest level of education among Blacks in Africa. Many blacks from other failed African States actually came to South Africa in order to escape the poverty and Marxism in their own countries. We gave in to majority rule so that everybody could share in the wealth and so there would be peace among the races here in the land of our birth. We did not need to do this we had the 5th strongest army in the world in 1994 according to Jane’s Defence Weekly and a substantial arsenal of tactical Nuclear weapons. We were seeking justice and peace and now we are facing total extinction as reward.

My family have been here since 1680 to flee religious persecution in France. We were part of the Great Trek to escape British rule, we fought the Zulu’s and Matebele’s and lost loved ones in the process. By doing this we helped to bring peace and Christianity to the Interior of South Africa. We fought the British in the Boer war so we could retain our freedom and lost women and children in the death camps. My great grandfather was a prisoner of war on Saint Helena because of this. My family fought on the side of the Allies against Hitler and Mussolini in North Africa with British, American, Australian and troops of all nations to stop Nazism in its tracks. We fought the expansion of Marxism in Angola and on our borders to the north during the cold war as a ally to the Americans and the west. Without us doing this the Soviet Union might have gained total control over South Africa and the strategic shipping routes around the Cape of Good Hope. This might have even tipped the balance of the Cold War in favour of the Soviets. The West owes us for services voluntarily rendered over the past hundred years in pursuit of justice.

Please let the truth get out! We are facing a threat far greater than all the threats we faced in the past, we are facing a hostile world that has no pity on us and a government actively planning our extermination. This is only the beginning and if we are not helped by the governments in the West our blood will be on their hands.

Hopefully our brothers and sisters in the West will see our plight and take pity. Otherwise the very light of the Christian Civilization on the continent of Africa might be extinguished forever. And please remember the onslaught won’t stop when the last one of us perishes. The battlefields will just move to US and European Shores (It is already happening as we speak), as the Boer people and South Africa is just a small piece in the puzzle that is ultimately the plan for the destruction of our Christian Civilization as a whole.

May God forgive us our sins and have mercy on us. This might very well be the last very sad chapter in the history of the Afrikaner people.

Kind regards

I had heard here in the US about his murder, but did not have the accurate facts until reading what you had written. Please continue to post the truth.
I am grieved by what happened to Mr. Terreblanche and the other over 3,000 slain Boer farmers. It’s madness to see what happened in Rhodesia (annihilation of white farmers) now transpiring in South Africa.
My heart and prayers go out to the whites in South Africa. And may God grant peace to Eugene Terreblanche.

What land isn’t stolen? Before the Afrikaners settled in South Africa, Bantu tribes were displacing the Bushmen. If your logic holds, then all Bantu-descended Africans have no right to the land either.

The wealth of the Bantu was in _cattle_, not land. “Land ownership” did not resonate with them (much less, “land development.”) When their herds grazed down the land, the tribes moved on. The idea of “their land” having been stolen is a non-sequitur.

And as I have previously pointed out:

“The Washing of the Spears” by Donald Morris, ca. 1964, details the migration of the Bantu nations (including Zulu, Xhosa, and others) from other parts of Africa to S. Africa. They are not “indigenous” to that particular location, and in fact, gained advantage through their numbers and superior abilities in warfare. Although Ms. Genia’s source is Christian, that does not, in and of itself, guarantee accuracy.

So, she means the land her ancestors stole from their ancestors? That land?

[Not so; it’s widespread in SA] It will become a more widespread horror if it is not snuffed out early in it’s degenerate lifespan. Right now it is being fed by the ANC and their governmental lapdogs.

It is not too far a stretch to see this kind of situation occurring in other parts of the West, such as the US, if it is not halted soon. I do understand the feelings of the commenter who said the black murderers should have been ambushed and killed immediately upon finding them on their land. Only a quiet burial would have been the acceptable end result.

If you are not willing to fight back, organize and arm, then you are indeed to become sheep for the wolf.
