White Genocide

Obama’s secret racial database

A key part of President Obama’s legacy will be the fed’s unprecedented collection of sensitive data on Americans by race. The government is prying into our most personal information at the most local levels, all for the purpose of “racial and economic justice.”

Unbeknown to most Americans, Obama’s racial bean counters are furiously mining data on their health, home loans, credit cards, places of work, neighborhoods, even how their kids are disciplined in school — all to document “inequalities” between minorities and whites.

This Orwellian-style stockpile of statistics includes a vast and permanent network of discrimination databases, which Obama already is using to make “disparate impact” cases against: banks that don’t make enough prime loans to minorities; schools that suspend too many blacks; cities that don’t offer enough Section 8 and other low-income housing for minorities; and employers who turn down African-Americans for jobs due to criminal backgrounds.

Big Brother Barack wants the databases operational before he leaves office, and much of the data in them will be posted online.

So civil-rights attorneys and urban activist groups will be able to exploit them to show patterns of “racial disparities” and “segregation,” even if no other evidence of discrimination exists.

The granddaddy of them all is the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing database, which the Department of Housing and Urban Development rolled out earlier this month to racially balance the nation, ZIP code by ZIP code. It will map every US neighborhood by four racial groups — white, Asian, black or African-American, and Hispanic/Latino — and publish “geospatial data” pinpointing racial imbalances.

The agency proposes using nonwhite populations of 50% or higher as the threshold for classifying segregated areas.

CFPB is separately amassing a database to monitor ordinary citizens’ credit-card transactions. It hopes to vacuum up some 900 million credit-card accounts — all sorted by race — representing roughly 85% of the US credit-card market. Why? To sniff out “disparities” in interest rates, charge-offs and collections.

Through its mandatory Civil Rights Data Collection project, the Education Department is gathering information on student suspensions and expulsions, by race, from every public school district in the country. Districts that show disparities in discipline will be targeted for reform.

Those that don’t comply will be punished. Several already have been forced to revise their discipline policies, which has led to violent disruptions in classrooms.

Obama’s educrats want to know how many blacks versus whites are enrolled in gifted-and-talented and advanced placement classes.

Schools that show blacks and Latinos under-enrolled in such curricula, to an undefined “statistically significant degree,” could open themselves up to investigation and lawsuits by the department’s Civil Rights Office.

Count on a flood of private lawsuits to piggyback federal discrimination claims, as civil-rights lawyers use the new federal discipline data in their legal strategies against the supposedly racist US school system.

Even if no one has complained about discrimination, even if there is no other evidence of racism, the numbers themselves will “prove” that things are unfair.

Such databases have never before existed. Obama is presiding over the largest consolidation of personal data in US history. He is creating a diversity police state where government race cops and civil-rights lawyers will micromanage demographic outcomes in virtually every aspect of society.

The first black president, quite brilliantly, has built a quasi-reparations infrastructure perpetually fed by racial data that will outlast his administration.

The killing continues: White doctor murdered on game farm

The mutilated body of a retired doctor was found on his game farm in Limpopo on Monday, after he was presumably murdered on Saturday.

Netwerk24’s Marietie Louw-Carstens reported on Tuesday that Louis-John Botha, 64, is the second farmer in the just the Waterberg district of Limpopo to be killed this year. Susan Kotze, 76, was murdered on her farm near Lephalale in January.

According to the report, Botha had practised as a doctor in Swartwater for many years. He lived on the farm Gwelo Safaris about 12km from Swartwater.

Limpopo police are not sure exactly how Botha was killed. Trackers and the canine unit are searching the area and looking for clues.

Blood was found on the porch and inside the double-storey thatch home after neighbours were alerted when the doctor did not answer his phone. The safe had been opened and some items were missing.

Police were called and a search was launched. The body was only found on Monday morning, hidden about 200 metres from the house.

The police have not released official farm murder figures for seven years. The figures showed that 271 were murdered on farms or small-holdings in the past five years.

However, the Transvaal Agricultural Union disputed the figures saying that according to their own information, including social media, there were at least 63 murders in 2012, 62 in 2013, and 67 in 2014, noting a steady increase in farm attacks and farm murders against whites across South Africa.

Zim’s white farmers face new land grabs

Most of Zimbabwe’s white farmers were stripped of their land in often violent evictions that started in 2000. Now the remaining white farmers are on edge because of threats of new evictions linked to the country’s long-running political turmoil.

Mandi Chimene, a newly appointed provincial governor for Manicaland province, said at a rally this past weekend that she had evicted white farmers from 12 farms in the Headlands district alone, claiming they were being protected by the former vice president’s faction. Joice Mujuru was ousted from the ruling party congress in December after falling out of favor with the president and his wife.

Another newly appointed governor, Joe Biggie Matiza of Mashonaland East province, said he will take similar action by the end of this month.

However, human rights advocate and political analyst Gabriel Shumba said that linking the evictions to the Mujuru faction “is just political expediency by those seeking to evict them.” Shumba said, “White farmers are caught up because they are in possession of an asset that is in demand.”

The Commercial Farmers Union, which represents mostly white farmers in Zimbabwe, has sought a meeting with the lands minister over the evictions, said spokesman Hendricks Olivier. “The eviction of both black and white farmers is not good for the sector,” Olivier told The Associated Press. “We need a clear policy.”

Douglas Mombeshora, the lands minister, recently said black farmers can enter into joint venture with partners of other races. But vice president Emmerson Mnangagwa later delivered a conflicting message, warning of more evictions of white farmers. President Robert Mugabe has often spoken against joint farming partnerships between blacks and whites.

There are fewer than 300 white farmers out of the original total of 4,500, according to the Commercial Farmers Union. The land eviction program that targeted white farmers starting in 2000 was defended by Mugabe as necessary to correct land imbalances dating from the era of white rule, though the upheaval was blamed for mismanagement of Zimbabwe’s once rich agricultural economy.

White woman shot in the head in Midrand

Security guards at a Midrand mosque near the scene where a white woman was shot and killed earlier today have described to Eyewitness News how the driver rushed into the complex frantically screaming for help.

The woman was shot in the head during suspected taxi violence this morning while the driver was wounded in the arm.

Both women were on their way to work at the time.

Security guard Sydney Mhluzi says he and his colleague heard several shots being fired from a busy intersection on Old Pretoria and Allandale Roads.

Mhluzi says they then saw two women racing into the complex in a white car, the driver screaming “please help me, my friend has been shot”.

He says they opened the gates after seeing blood gushing from the passenger’s wounds.

Mhluzi says they called police and ambulances while trying to help the women.

The suspects drove off .

Three black men have been arrested. “They are aged between 50 and 65, and will appear in the Alexandra Magistrate’s Court on Monday,” said Captain Augustinah Selepe.

“They will face charges of murder and attempted murder. At this stage we can’t confirm if they are taxi owners.”

US body admits crime but farm murders are scrubbed

The Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC), a US body created to promote security cooperation between American private sector interests worldwide and the U.S. Department of State, rated in its “South Africa 2014 Crime and Safety Report” Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban as Critical crime threat posts.

According to the report crimes range from petty muggings to ATM scams to armed residential home invasions and robberies. These home invasion robberies are of particular concern as they are often violent in nature and can occur at any time.

What distinguishes crime in South Africa is the level of violence associated with personal and property crimes, as criminals do not hesitate to use lethal weapons, said the report, but it delves no deeper.

White farmers are the most vulnerable. According to Genocide Watch, in 19 short years more than 4,000 white farmers in South Africa have been murdered, which is 210 white farmers murdered per year by blacks in South Africa.

It is almost ten times higher than the already high murder rate of over 30 killings per year in the country.

Compared to black lynchings in America, it is actually a full-blown white genocide occuring in South Africa. From 1882-1968, 4,743 lynchings occurred in the United States. Of these people that were lynched 3,446 were black. The blacks lynched accounted for 72.7% of the people lynched.

Out of the 4,743 people lynched only 1,297 white people were lynched. That is only 27.3%. Many of the whites lynched were lynched for helping the black or being anti-lynching and even for domestic crimes.

So, over a span 86 years, 3,446 black people were lynched (many were lynched for actual crimes); that’s roughly 40 lynchings per year.

White farmers are killed and tortured only because they are white.

Since 1994 many more white farmers were maimed, tortured, raped and assaulted. It was established that more white farmers die per year in South Africa than soldiers did in Vietnam.

The South African Police Service (SAPS) indicates on its part in its 2012-13 crime statistics that the number of home invasions remains alarmingly high, with a total of 6,598 reported in Gauteng Province (which includes Johannesburg and Pretoria) alone.

From April 2013 to March 2014, the number of murders in the Province reached 3333, the number of robberies with aggravating circumstances totaled 42646, while burglaries at residential premises numbered 68139, according to SAPS.

South African authorities publish figures on the crimes committed in the country, but the do not publish figures on farm murders.

It is interesting to note that the scourge is scrubbed from websites like Wikipedia. Wikipedia rather quotes a shady organisation called Africa Check, funded by George Soros, claiming “whites are far less likely to be murdered than their black or coloured counterparts”.

Other falsehoods from American-funded sources are also inserted into the Wiki article, claiming that farm attacks are simply robberies gone wrong, and are not motivated by racial hatred.

The police seem unable to curb the rates in a noteworthy way nor to bring all culprits before courts.

There were roughly 128 000 commercial farmers in South Africa in 1980. Today there are only 40000 commercial farmers left. White farmers are mostly Afrikaners.

This is the second attempt by Anglo-Americans at a “final solution” against Afrikaners.

In early March 1901 Lord Kitchener decided to break the stalemate that the extremely costly war had settled into in South Africa. It was costing the British taxpayer 2,5 million pounds a month.

He decided to herd Afrikaner women and children into concentration camps to rid the country of the “problem”. Most of them perished in the camps.

Muldersdrift black murder trio found guilty

Three black laughing men believed to have been behind the reign of terror that left two whites dead and others wounded and traumatised in Muldersdrift have been found guilty.

Judge Moses Mavundla on Wednesday found Alfred Zwane, Samson Mandlezi and Manir Ubisi guilty on 15 counts that included the murders of two whites, three attempted murders, robbery with aggravating circumstances, housebreaking and illegal possession of firearms.

They had denied any knowledge of the crimes and said they had been coerced into making confessions.

Judge Mavundla rejected that on Wednesday, saying he was satisfied that the State had proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt.

As the judge read the conviction, Alyssa’s father Anton Botha and his daughter Meghan sat a few paces behind the three men. The three took the lives of 13-year-old Alyssa Botha and 50-year-old Andre Jordaan in a senseless killing spree.

On the evening of September 5, 2012, Botha had just parked his car after picking up his daughters from a friend’s home when the trio shot and killed Alyssa.

The men shot Botha in the abdomen, and he lost a kidney as a result. They shot Meghan twice in the legs. The then 17-year-old had provincial colours in hockey, and the bullets ended her participation in sport.

The 53-year-old said he was grateful for the support of strangers.

“When were in hospital, people we did not even know came to see us, and we will always be grateful for that.”

Botha said he was shocked at how the trio had no regard for life and just went around shooting people.

It was revealed in court how one of the accused pointed a gun at another white woman at close range. When it jammed, he pushed the gun into her face again, pulled the trigger, and it jammed again.

“I don’t want to see them get parole,” he said.

Sentencing procedures were to start on Thursday.

Murder case against white farmer who tried to protect himself

A case of murder has been opened against a white farmer who tried to protect himself during a farm attack.

The white farmer is in hospital after he was attacked and shot on his farm near Reitz, Free State police said on Monday.

“Three armed black men accosted him on his farm on Saturday afternoon. He was shot in the stomach and in one arm,” Sergeant Mmako Mophiring said.

The farmer, Andre Greenen, managed to shoot one of his attackers, who died on the scene.

The other two fled on foot, Mophiring said.

“A case of murder and attempted murder has been opened,” he said.

Greenen is still in hospital. No arrests had been made.

Five attacks on white farmers in one week

This week has seen at least five farm attacks on white farmers in South Africa.

In the latest incident, a farmer and his wife were attacked by two armed men on their farm outside Barkly-East.

The white farmer, Sarel Pretorius from the farm Rooipoort, was shot dead. His wife was locked in the bathroom.

Farm watch groups were mobilised to find the attackers, who had fled in the direction of Elliot.

The attackers stole a white Toyota Hilux bakkie and firearms.

The community of Barkly East is still traumatised by the brutal murder of David (87) and Rallie de Villiers (86) in October of 2013.

The other four farm attacks are as follows:

11 January – Bloemspruit. Dr Jacob Swart and his wife Elise were attacked on their farm with knives and steel pipes by two men. The attackers fled with a .22 revolver, a rifle, two cell phones and an undisclosed amount of cash.

12 January – Wallmansthal area. An R5 attack rifle, allegedly issued only to the SAPS, was used in an attack on two victims in their sixties. The farmer was wounded and electrical appliances were stolen.

14 January – Waterval area near Pretoria. The farmer was lured outside and attacked with a machete.

14 January – Wallmansthal area. A farmer was held hostage and attacked.

Steeped in amnesia and anosognosia

by Riana Malan

This week, with the world “remembering” South Africa’s transition to democracy presided over by former terrorist Nelson Mandela, was one steeped in amnesia and worse, anosognosia.

As Mandela was taken to lie in state at the Union Buildings, the seat of government in the capital Pretoria, South Africans recalled the day he was sworn in as the country’s first black president, 19 years ago.

Back then, many whites saw a dark future as the white generals and police chiefs of the apartheid government saluted their new boss, watched by dozens of world leaders, most of whom supported the long terror campaign against whites.

For the Afrikaans-speaking minority, which had wielded political power for half a century, it was an uncertain time. Mandela feverishly tried to reassure whites that he bore no grudge, but most Afrikaners were skeptical. And their fears have yet to be assuaged.

Whites feared that the black majority would seek revenge for perceived injustices. They were not wrong.

Cheered on by nations like the US, Britain and Australia — who until recently practised much worse forms of racial discrimination — the governing black majority embarked on a path of anti-white and discriminatory measures to disenfranchise the minority white population.

Mandela continued to make overtures to whites to placate them while he set in motion draconian racial laws to punish whites. Conscious of the power of symbols, he famously donned the jersey of the all-white Springboks rugby team — once an emblem of apartheid — to award the Rugby World Cup trophy when South Africa lifted the tournament on home soil.

This was the morphine the Afrikaners needed to forget the ever increasing attacks on and torture of white farmers, the scourge of child rape and the bold stripping of all their assets.

Jim Goad writes eloquently about what the obituaries all omit.

As postmortem tributes oozed sanctimonious brown-nosing, it should have been called Up Mandela’s Ass. I doubt that this saccharine chunk of carefully packaged propaganda was any more idealized, unrealistic, or one-sided than the thousands of other tributes that burst forth like millions of sugarcoated tears after his passing, but I was only able to handle one Mandela tribute lest my eyes roll so violently that they pop out of my head.

The 20/20 special peddled such obviously fraudulent lies as the allegation that Mandela’s African National Congress was “committed to nonviolent resistance.” Not a peep was made about the fact that Mandela was sentenced to prison not only for “treason”, but that he pled guilty to an indictment accusing him of complicity in “the preparation, manufacture and use of explosives—for the purpose of committing acts of violence.” Nothing was said about the radical guerrilla army he founded called “Spear of the Nation” that was linked to hundreds of acts of violence and sabotage. Nothing was said about his claim that “violence in this country was inevitable.” Nor was it mentioned that he was offered freedom from prison in February 1985 if he agreed to foreswear violence but that he refused. And they certainly didn’t dare to show a clip of an ANC “necklacing” that’s one of the most brutal snippets of mob violence I’ve ever witnessed. Nothing was said about the Church Street Bombing or any of the other bombings and violent acts committed in the ANC’s name that in other contexts would have Mandela dubbed a violent terrorist. Instead, 20/20 referred to him with the much cheerier sobriquet of “freedom fighter.”

The show argues that Mandela was able to quell racial tensions in South Africa and bring together a “rainbow nation” merely by being big-hearted enough to endorse the country’s rugby team. We are not informed that two years after his release from prison, Mandela joined ANC members in a group sing-along of a cheery ditty whose lyrics reputedly included “kill the whites.” Nothing was mentioned of other ANC slogans such as “kill the Boers” and “one settler, one bullet,” nor of ANC officials’ comments such as “When Mandela goes, we will kill you whites like flies.” And they didn’t dare show any photos of the thousands of white farmers that have been savagely massacred since apartheid ended. And we were not informed that rather than ushering in a post-racial utopia, South Africa’s Black Economic Empowerment program dictates wealth redistribution along racial lines.

The program refers to his second wife, Winnie Mandela, as “fiery and controversial” but neglects to include the fact that she headed a criminal gang that was responsible for the beatings, murder, and torture of adults and children. Nor did it mention his first wife’s divorce filing that included allegations of repeated physical abuse and threatening her with an axe.

We hear glowing reminiscences that Mandela was a voice of “democracy” but not a word about the fact that he was a lifelong committed Marxist. Even though he shrugged off accusations of being a communist, the South African Communist Party claimed on Friday that “At his arrest in August 1962, Nelson Mandela was not only a member of the then underground South African Communist Party, but was also a member of our Party’s Central Committee.” Nothing was mentioned about allegations that he handwrote a tract called “HOW TO BE A GOOD COMMUNIST” that claimed “THE CAUSE OF COMMUNISM IS THE GREATEST AND MOST ARDUOUS CAUSE IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.”

The 20/20 special left out many other inconvenient facts. Not a whisper was made about the fact that Israel was a huge supporter of South African apartheid and the last country on Earth to sever ties with the regime.

Also left unmentioned is the fact that since apartheid ended in 1994, South Africa has slipped from #93 on the Human Development Index to #121 in 2013. We are not told that the nation now boasts the world’s highest Gini coefficient, highest per-capita rate of rape, highest total number of HIV infections, and a per-capita murder rate seven times that of the USA. We don’t hear about deliberate gang rapes that are jovially referred to as “jack rolling,” nor the impenetrable metal “rape gates” that several Afrikaners have placed on the entrances to their bedrooms like jail doors. We don’t hear about the gated communities and the flame-throwing cars. We don’t hear the merest suggestion that South Africa is likely only a decade or two away from becoming Zimbabwe.

Instead, we get Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey creaming their jeans over His Holiness. And at the very end, we see children’s choirs in South Africa and New York City singing a version of John Lennon’s “Imagine.” The final frames show a black boy hitting sour notes as he sings the line “And the world shall live as one.”

Consciously or otherwise, that coda may encapsulate what Mandela truly represents and why he’s being canonized to such an absurd degree—he was a charismatic footservant of globalism. In the end, despite his image as the foe of colonialism, he may have been nothing more than a useful tool of global finance. He is a token of white colonialism’s surrender to a specifically anti-white breed of global financial colonialism. If he’d been white and fought bravely in the name of blood and soil, his eulogists would be singing a much different tune.

The financial Powers That Be will continue to rape and exploit South Africa’s bounteous mineral riches, and the great masses of the country’s blacks will continue to wallow in violence, poverty, disease, and hunger. The main difference will be that the pesky and irksome Boers who pulled the region out of the Stone Age will no longer be in the way. Like the pioneers who tamed the American West, they have served their purpose and are now being discarded.

Mandela famously visited the Afrikaner enclave of Orania in 1995 to have tea with Betsie Verwoerd, widow of the architect of apartheid, Hendrik Verwoerd.

Perhaps this visit caused hundreds of thousands of whites to leave the country for good, because they finally began to understand the disingenuousness of the man.

Theo Venter, a “political analyst” who lectures at North-West University, and paid sycophant of the New World Order, says “one of the legacies of black emancipation has been the emergence of a black middle class that shares the same fears as whites”.

This nonsense is a popular theme with foreign powers that believe they have the money and influence to make racial differences and cultural mores go away.

The boos that current President Jacob Zuma, who has been dogged by Anglo-American criticism, elicited at Tuesday’s memorial service, according to Venter, was a good thing.

“The people who booed Zuma were black not white,” he says, forgetting that South Africa now has a far left and an extreme left vying for power. Whites, who make up around 9 per cent of the population, are helpless observers of the situation, rather than protagonists.

“In national politics the role of Afrikaners as a distinct group is gone forever,” Venter smiles, himself an Afrikaner. As the ANC becomes embroiled in infighting and scandal he sees South Africa’s 1993 constitution as “one of the most progressive in the world” and “the glue that binds the nation henceforth”.

Venter clearly means the “eraser” that binds the nation, for the demise of whites is eagerly sought by all black parties. He would never be mistaken for a real thinker, and his masters must be pleased since they probably believe they have enough money to smooth over the white genocide with spin.

Farm murders, white genocide and RedOctober

by Kevin King

[followbutton username=’djkevking’ count=’true’ lang=’en’ theme=’light’]

“Every action has an equal but opposite reaction” – Sir Isaac Newton

In life, actions (physical or otherwise) also have reactions. Somehow, an unknown number of actions, reactions and re-reactions got us to where we are today, causing this RedOctober march, the allegations of white genocide and outrage over farm murders. A large section of social media describes these activists and supporters as racists, without questioning how we got to this point. I’ll attempt to apply Stephen Covey’s 5th Habit of Highly Successful People, “Seek first to understand, then to be understood”, so doing some research before shouting insults and proclaiming these people to be racists.

Crime

I’ve written numerous articles about crime on this country, so I’ve done a lot of research. Hopefully all the readers will know that we are the crime capital of the world. If you need reminding, here’s our wall of shame, 1994 to 2012:

376,627 reported murders (57 per day)
597,900 reported homicides (91 per day)
443,551 reported attempted murders (67 per day)
4,175,178 reported serious assaults (635 per day)
1,111,425 reported rapes (169 per day)
22,228,500 estimated rapes (3,383 per day)

Our crime is at crisis levels, no doubt, and with these high levels it’s impossible that every region, race, sex, group, religion etc is not affected.

Hate crime vs normal crime

It seems that a large number of RedOctober detractors are using the “crime affects all” reasoning for shooting down RedOctober. With the extreme levels of crime in our country it would be easy for hate crime to be hidden in the enormous sea of crime that taking place. Taking this “crime affects us all” approach would mean denying the existence of hate crime, which is absurd. Besides the fact that hate crime is difficult to identify, quantify and prove there is an obvious difference between hate crime and normal crime. The latter lacks the element of hatred by the perpetrator(s) towards the victim(s) and the level of violence is often exaggerated. I never really thought about how the psychological effects would vary, so I did some research. According to research, hate crimes have more serious psychological effects than other crime. Also, survivors of hate crime show more signs of psychological distress than survivors of non-biased crime and this distress was found to last longer in hate crime survivors due to the fact that the crime leaves lasting feelings of personal danger and vulnerability associated with their identity. A high level of outrage would thus make sense, as members of the victim’s group would feel this same personal danger and vulnerability that the victim felt.

So we’ve seen outrage by Afrikaner groups over social media, we’ve seen the RedOctober march taking place, all against farm murders in particular. While these Afrikaners may speak a different language to us, be a different colour to the majority of the country, have different interests and cultures, they are not immune to the same feelings of vulnerability and persecution that all other groups affected by hate crimes feel. In other words, they are also human. The next big question would then be: Are these feelings of vulnerability and persecution, which is causing their reaction of outrage, justified or merely perceived?

These activists present a long list (thousands) of victims murdered on their farms in interracial murders, and they claim that the murder rate on farms is far higher than the national average. Now without going into the actual numbers, because I feel they are irrelevant for purposes of this discussion, I’d like to make a few points:

A number like this can create a perception
The aggravating circumstances surrounding these attacks strengthens the perception
However, proving hate crime on an individual basis is near impossible, as will be further discussed in the next paragraph, which can strengthen critics’ claims that the perception is false

Proving and prosecuting hate crime

South Africa is set to bring into law the Hate Crimes Bill in 2014. Long overdue to say the least, the Bill is set to address how hate crime is tried and prosecuted. What may be a first for our country is old news for many first world countries like the USA, which has several hate crimes statutes. But even with all their legislation, they have serious challenges in proving that a crime is hate crime, especially proving racial motives. The (US) Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology contains a discussion as to why this difficulty exists, and these same reasons are relevant in our context.

“The fact that an individual’s motive lies peculiarly within his or her knowledge undermines the ability of prosecutors and plaintiffs to prove racist motives in hate crimes cases”

So without the accused’s own admission, it is virtually impossible to prove hate crime. Prosecutors will have to rely on circumstantial evidence. Other difficulties in proving motive are:

“Inferences about motive which are drawn from circumstantial evidence may be highly inaccurate given the inherent ambiguity of motive itself” – The defendant may have acted out of paranoia rather than racism
“Multiple motives may impel an individual to act” – The defendant may claim that he or she acted out of some other motivation

To sum up the document: “Prosecutors often find it impossible to demonstrate by proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused acted out of racist motives”. These are the exact same problems that RedOctober activists like Steve Hofmeyr face when pushing their cause, and the exact same problem our courts will face when the Hate Crimes Bill comes into force.

There are cases that pop up which are undoubtedly hate crime such as the Rawstorne family murder by William Kekana, who testified that he brutally wiped out the family “because they were white”, or the Lotter women murders where the perpetrators left behind their motive, “Kill the Boer” daubed in the victims’ blood. These cases further strengthen the perception that many other farm murders have a racial motive behind them but these cases are generally ignored by critics. Activists thus have an uphill battle to prove hate crime when motive is so difficult to prove for the vast majority of cases. But although the motives behind hate crime are almost impossible to prove in court, it is very successfully proven outside of court.

The media and social media commentators (SMC’s)

In most cases of interracial violence and cases involving violence against minorities, the media and SMC’s are quick to attach a motive to the crime, classifying the crime as a hate crime. These accusations are deemed to be true by consumers as if the motive was actually proven in a court of law. Also, the media and SMC’s tend to be very inconsistent when classifying crimes as hate crimes, creating the impression amongst some that they are biased or trying to censor. To give an example:

A recent case of a horrific rape and murder of a lesbian. The media and SMC’s immediately classified the crime as a corrective rape hate crime, although no anti-gay motive was obtained from the perpetrator. The motive was assumed because the victim was lesbian and due to the aggravating circumstances.
A recent case of a brutal torture and murder of an elderly farm couple. Although this was an interracial crime and aggravating circumstances existed, the media and SMC’s declined to attach a racial motive to the crime.

When the latter is called a “racist farm murder” or “white genocide”, critics are quick to claim “crime affects all”, “we have a high murder rate so obviously these farmers will be murdered” and “farmers are more vulnerable because they are isolated” etc. Then why is it that when a lesbian is raped it’s called “corrective rape”? Doesn’t “crime affect us all”? When we have over 3000 rapes per day isn’t it obvious that lesbians will also be victims of rape? Are lesbians not vulnerable because men are usually more powerful and often hunt their victims in packs? Yet both cases are not treated the same.

Pure double standards in my book and most probably one of the reasons why the likes of Steve Hofmeyr go to extreme lengths to protest and create awareness regarding farm murders and white genocide.

Just to touch on the main misconceptions about genocide:

Numbers don’t matter. According to the definition of genocide, “an individual criminal may be guilty of genocide even if he kills only one person, so long as he knew he was participating in a larger plan to destroy the group [or part of a group]”.

It only takes ONE individual to kill ONE person, if that individual knew he was participating in a larger plan to destroy the people. That means that if only ONE individual interprets a statement like “Shoot the Boer” by his commander and chief for instance, to be an order to commit genocide and acts on it, that individual will be guilty of committing genocide, plain and simple.

There are indicators that genocide could be happening on a larger scale, for example, widespread rape, torture and executions of Afrikaners on their farms, with perpetrators stealing few or no valuables. However the existence of an organised plan to commit genocide is unknown and will be extremely difficult to prove. Regardless, individuals can be perpetrators of genocide by definition. In the two cases I mentioned before, the Rawstorne family and the Lotters, it can easily be debated that these are cases of genocide. After a healthy debate, you will at best prove that these cases are racist hate crimes, which I’m afraid is not much worse than genocide.

Conclusion

There are a high number of Afrikaners being murdered on their farms. Often there is rape and torture involved and in many cases nothing is stolen. There are numerous death threats posted on Facebook, Twitter and even at political rallies, mostly directed at this group. On top of this, there are cases where the racist motive cannot be denied. Although few of these cases exist, they further strengthen the perception that farm murders in general are racially motivated and that white genocide may exist. There is clear evidence for the Afrikaner minority group to feel vulnerable and threatened and it appears that their fears and outrage of unjustly treated by the media, social media commentators and even the government. Besides the compelling evidence in their favour, even their human nature is criticised and they are persecuted for this.

A bloody October

At least nine brutal killings by black attackers were recorded in South Africa’s press over the course of the month

Over the month of October South Africa has been hit by a series of farm murders, with at least nine such killings being reported in the South African press. The victims of such murders were often elderly and almost always in the power of their young attackers when they were killed, often with extreme brutality.

The South African Police Service no longer releases statistics on farm attacks and farm murders. However, according to the records compiled by TAU SA from press articles and its own reporting networks there were twelve murders on farms and small holdings in the month of October. This is up from the two farm murders recorded in September and it is also the highest monthly total this year. 56 farm murders have been recorded by TAU SA up until the end of October 2013, as compared to 54 during the whole of 2012 and 55 in 2011.

KwaZulu Natal has been particularly hard hit by farm murders this year. KwaNalu, the KwaZulu-Natal Agricultural Union, has recorded 9 farm murders in the province so far this year, up from 4 in 2012 and one in 2011.

Among the farm murders reported in the press over October are the following:

On Thursday, October 3, four armed men overpowered Paul Mason, 63, and his wife Gwyneth on their return to the farm Kruisfrontein near Sabie, Mpumalanga. Gwyneth was tied up in the house. Paul Mason was taken outside and shot three times.

At midday on Wednesday, October 9, Mrs Hennie van der Schyff, 73, was murdered on the farm Môrester near Klerksdorp in the North West province. The police could not initially say with certainty whether she had been shot as well assaulted, so severe were her head injuries. Her husband, Frans van der Schyff, 76, also was severely beaten around the head and later died of his wounds in hospital.

On the night of October 9 Eugene van der Merwe, 61, and his son Siyanda Ndlovu, 13, were attacked on Sunnyside farm in the Ixopo area, KwaZulu Natal. Van der Merwe, who was attacked in the shed, was severely beaten with a blunt object around the head and died on the scene. His son Siyanda was attacked in the house and also incurred severe injuries, but survived. Thulani Chemane, 36, and Busani Shoba, 27, were arrested in connection with the murder.

On the night of Thursday October 10 Gert de Beer, 82, and his wife, Lina, were attacked on their farm in the White river area. Gert de Beer was apparently tortured in order to force him to hand over the keys to the safe. He was then beaten to death with a hammer. His wife, Lina, who is blind and deaf was chopped in the hand with a panga during the attack. A 20 and 23 year old were arrested in connection with the murder.

On the early morning of October 16 David de Villiers, 87, and his wife Ralie, were attacked and stabbed to death on their farm Broadlands, Barkly East in the Eastern Cape. Their son, David, Dawie, was also stabbed repeatedly, but survived. Thulani Khetane, 22, was arrested in connection with the murder.

On Thursday evening October 17 Dan Knight, 56, of Outlook farm in the Himeville area of KwaZulu-Natal and his partner Beth Bucher were attacked in their home by a gang of five men. Knight was beaten to death with hammers while Buchner was forced to watch. Tsepiso Sthembiso Ramanyane, 20, Bonginkosi Eric Nyawose, 33, and Thabo Dlamini, 22, were arrested on charges relating to the murder.

On Tuesday October 22 Willem Weites, 78, of the Welkom farm in Ngome area of KwaZulu-Natal was in his milk stall when a gang of three men entered and held a knife at the throat of his daughter Everlien asked where her father was. When Mr Weites came to the aid of his daughter he was fatally shot three times. According to a report in the Witness, citing Weites’ son Frederik, Everlien was then dragged “to the main house while threatening to rape her. They had found his mother and demanded keys to the safe. They tied up both women, took an undisclosed sum of money and drove off in his father’s bakkie… Another attacker tied up farm workers and took their cellphones.” – politicsweb.co.za

Sexwale’s detention signals US terror watch list still active

A former black South African government Minister has been detained in New York apparently because his name is on a terrorism watch list.

Tokyo Sexwale became a member of the Black Consciousness Movement in the late 1960s and a local leader of the radical South African Students’ Movement. In the early 1970s, he joined the African National Congress’s armed wing to wage a terror campaign against white civilians.

Sexwale, a former Robben Island prisoner turned billionaire businessman, was stopped for questioning at John F. Kennedy airport for a second time while attempting to enter the United States on a recent business trip. He was also stopped for the same reason in 2002.

Sexwale has become a major player in the diamond industry, with his company reportedly being the third biggest after De Beers and JFPI Corporation. He was praised by no less a figure than Harry Oppenheimer, the patriarch of the Anglo-American and De Beers corporations, as having an understanding of the South African and international diamond mining industry that few can equal.

In the 1970s and 80s, the African National Congress (ANC) and various other groups were officially designated terrorist organisations as a result of waging a racial terror campaign against unarmed civilians, as well as women and children.

Other countries, including the U.S., followed suit. After the end of apartheid in 1994, certain names remained on the U.S. terrorism watch list. Even Nelson Mandela was only removed in 2008.

Ebrahim Rasool, the South Africa Ambassador to the U.S., was forced to intervene this week with the U.S. State Department to secure Sexwale’s release, according to a tweet by the South African public broadcaster SABC’s US correspondent, Sherwin Bryce-Pease.

Sexwale now intends to take legal again action through the American courts, the national broadcaster SABC reported. In 2002, when he was refused a visa to enter the United States, for the first time, it later transpired that he, along with many prominent South African anti-apartheid figures such as Nelson Mandela and South African cabinet minister Sidney Mufamadi, were still on the global terror list.

After initiating legal action, going so far as to having papers served on the U.S. Department of State and following personal intervention by Condoleezza Rice, Sexwale and the others received ten-year waivers from the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Department of Homeland Security, as the US felt that permanently delisting them would mean changing the law, which would be a “lengthy process”.

In April 2008 the waiver was lifted and the ANC members along with the ANC were removed from the terrorist list in the USA. However it seems that Sexwale remains on the terror list.

Soweto-born Sexwale is one of the country’s richest men, although he is a sworn Marxist. In 1975 he went into self-imposed exile to the then Soviet Union and received military training there to launch a terror campaign in South Africa.

A year later, on his return to South Africa, he was arrested, charged with conspiracy to overthrow the government and sentenced to 18 years in prison. After his release in 1990 he pursued careers in both politics and business.

The Church Street bombing, a car bomb attack on 20 May 1983 by Umkhonto we Sizwe, the terror group, in Pretoria, killed 19 and wounded 217, and was one of the largest attacks against whites.

A further black mark against Sexwale is the appearance of his name in a United Nations report on illegal transactions under the Oil-for-Food Programme. Sexwale’s Group 5 has received criticism for their involvement with corrupt tender contracts in South Africa.

The ANC reacted angrily to Mr. Sexwale’s treatment by U.S. authorities. “If indeed it is true, we think it is totally unacceptable,” said Jackson Mthembu, the party’s national spokesman.

“We would have thought the Americans would have taken all credible struggle heroes off the list. This is very disappointing. It makes us very worried. If Tokyo can be arrested, who will not be?

In 2008 Condoleezza Rice, the then U.S. Secretary of State, described it as “embarrassing” that Nobel peace laureate Mandela remained on the terrorist watch list and needed special permission to visit the country.

Later that year Mandela was removed under a bill signed by President George Bush but it is unclear if this applied to other ANC leaders.

A former US diplomat said on Sunday: “During the apartheid era the ANC and other organisations ended up being listed as terrorist organisations and it was difficult to get them removed because of various senatorial pressures. I was not aware there were still people whose names are specifically listed on such an index.”

Clayson Monyela, spokesman for South Africa’s international relations department, said it had been told that a resolution is needed in the U.S. Congress to remove all the names.

Another farm murder rattles KZN farming community

A crowd of 350 farmers, farmworkers and others from the rural community protested outside the Himeville Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday, as three men appeared for the grisly murder of timber contractor Daniel Knight last week.

The protest was held just a day after another KwaZulu-Natal farmer was murdered on his Vryheid dairy farm, The Witness reported.

Willem Weites, 78, was killed while trying to rescue his daughter, who was being held at knife-point

His son, Frederik Weites, 50, said a white car came to the dairy store with men carrying a bucket as people often do when they come to buy milk.

Weites said the three black men got out of the car and grabbed his sister Everlien, 49, after asking where her father was.

“They held a knife to her neck and when my father tried to intervene, they just shot him in the head and chest and he died on the spot,” he said.

He said they then dragged his sister to the main house threatening to rape her. They thus forced his mother to hand over keys to the safe.

They tied up both women, took an undisclosed sum of money and drove off in his father’s bakkie, he said.

Another attacker tied up farm workers and took their cellphones.

The bakkie was later recovered about eight kilometres away as in most farm attacks.

“We are devastated. I mean why do you need to kill people for money when you can take the money and leave them alive?” Frederik asked. Weites had often helped local blacks grind their maize at his mill.

Police spokesperson Captain Thulani Zwane said Ngome SAPS were investigating charges of murder and “business robbery”. No arrests had been made, he said.

In Himeville, Tsepiso Sthembiso Ramanyane, 20, Bonginkosi Eric Nyawose, 33, both from Bulwer, and Thabo Dlamini, 22, from Himeville, appeared for the murder of Knight and robbery with aggravating circumstances for taking property of Knight’s valued at R651 000.

While white farmers fear the escalating farm attacks, black workers fear that 300 households who had family members working for Knight may be hit by job losses following his murder.

Knight’s murder was particularly brutal. He was struck on the head with a heavy hammer while his partner, her eyelids forced open, was made to watch.

Graham Acutt, a dairy farmer, said: “This affects the community more than it affects the farmers; more families in the community will lose jobs because of some individuals that want quick cash. This picketing shows everyone that we are sick and tired of criminals that attack us.”

Sue Acutt asked: “Why did they want her to watch them doing this? Later, they even tried to suffocate her using a plastic glove as they covered her face with it. They left her thinking she had also died after she passed out.”

Vice-chairperson of the Vryheid Agricultural Chamber Horst Hellberg, referring to Weites’ death, said it was with shock “that we had to hear of another farm murder, this time one of our senior farmers”.

“It is unacceptable that farm murders are getting out of control again and government is not treating it as a priority.”

He suggested the government would address these issues more seriously only once there was not enough food to put on the nation’s tables.

KwaZulu-Natal Agricultural Union (KwaNalu) security desk Koos Marais said they were disturbed by the latest callous murder.

Dr Johan Burger of the South African Institute for Security Studies said in 2012, 63 farm murders were recorded. This year up to September there had been 54 farm murders recorded already.

“The brutality with which these murders are carried out makes us believe that there is something behind these attacks,” he said.

He said it was interesting to note that last year 39 farmers were killed and of those only three were black farmers.

#RedOctober hashtag trends on Twitter

A backlash from white liberals erupted on Twitter as marches were held in a number of cities on Thursday by a grouping that gathered in protest against the oppression and slaughter of whites.

In Cape Town, Red October protesters marched from Keizersgracht to Parliament, where they released red balloons.

Red October, which is supported by musician Steve Hofmeyr, was slammed as “racist” on social media, with messages of disbelief and anger.

The #RedOctober hashtag trended on Twitter across South Africa.

By late afternoon, an online petition had been started “To all South Africans: Let’s shut down Red October!”, in an effort to have its Facebook page removed. It went nowhere.

According to the Red October website, the marches had been organised to let everyone know “that we have had enough”.

Whites protesting against their oppression marched to the Union Buildings under the theme Red October. After delivering a memorandum of their concerns, they released red balloons in remembrance of murdered white farmers.

“No longer will we be silent about the oppression of the White South African Ethnic Minority! No longer will we silently endure the killing of our people on our farms and in our towns and cities,” read its petition.

Their grievances included “destruction of our infrastructure; our filthy government hospitals; our pathetic educational system; dangerous neighbourhoods; and a disintegrating road network”.

As an ethnic minority, said Red October, white people were entitled to protection of their rights as enshrined in the constitution.
