A Warning for America
from South Africa

By Gemma Meyer
(Gemma Meyer is the pseudonym of a South African journalist. She and her husband, a former conservative member of parliament, still reside in South Africa.)

People used to say that South Africa was 20 years behind the rest of the Western world. Television, for example, came late to South Africa (but so did pornography and the gay rights movement).

Today, however, South Africa may be the grim model of the future Western world, for events in America reveal trends chillingly similar to those that destroyed our country.

America's structures are Western. Your Congress, your lobbying groups, your free speech, and the way ordinary Americans either get involved or ignore politics are peculiarly Western, not the way most of the world operates. But the fact that only about a third of Americans deem it important to vote is horrifying in light of how close you are to losing your Western character.

Writing letters to the press, manning stands at county fairs, hosting fund-raising dinners, attending rallies, setting up conferences, writing your Congressman - that is what you know, and what you are comfortable with. Those are the political methods you've created for yourselves to keep your country on track and to ensure political accountability.

But woe to you if - or more likely, when - the rules change. White Americans may soon find themselves unable or unwilling to stand up to challenge the new political methods that will be the inevitable result of the ethnic metamorphosis now taking place in America. Unable to cope with the new rules of the game - violence, mob riots, intimidation through accusations of racism, demands for proportionality based on racial numbers, and all the other social and political weapons used by the have-nots to bludgeon treasure and power from the haves - Americans, like others before them, will no doubt cave in. They will compromise away their independence and ultimately their way of life.

That is exactly what happened in South Africa. I know, because I was there and I saw it happen.

Faced with revolution in the streets, strikes, civil unrest and the sheer terror and murder practiced by Nelson Mandela's African National Congress (ANC), the white government simply capitulated in order to achieve "peace."

Westerners need peace. They need order and stability. They are builders and planners. But what we got was the peace of the grave for our society.

The Third World is different - different peoples with different pasts and different cultures. Yet Westerners continue to mistake the psychology of the Third World and its peoples. Sierra Leone and Zimbabwe are perfect examples of those mistakes. Sierra Leone is in perpetual civil war, and Zimbabwe - once the thriving, stable Rhodesia - is looting the very people (the white men) who feed the country. Yet Westerners do not admit that the same kind of savagery could come to America when enough immigrants of the right type assert themselves. The fact is, Americans are sitting ducks for Third World exploitation of the Western conscience of compassion.

Those in the West who forced South Africa to surrender to the ANC and its leaders did not consider Africa to be the dangerous, corrupt, and savage place it is now in Zimbabwe and South Africa. Those Western politicians now have a similar problem looming on their own doorsteps: the demand for power and treasure from the non-Western peoples inside the realm.

It is already too late for South Africa, but not for America if enough people strengthen their spine and take on the race terrorists, the armies of the "politically correct" and, most dangerous of all, the craven politicians who believe "compassionate conservatism" will buy them a few more votes, a few more days of peace.

White South Africans, you should remember, have been in that part of Africa for the same amount of time whites have inhabited North America; yet ultimately South Africans voted for their own suicide. We are not so very different from you.

We lost our country through skillful propaganda, pressure from abroad (not least from the U.S.A.), unrelenting charges of "oppression" and "racism," and the shrewd assessment by African tyrants that the white man has many Achilles' heels, the most significant of which are his compassion, his belief in the "equality of man," and his "love your neighbor" philosophy - none of which are part of the Third World's history.

The mainline churches played a big role in the demise of Western influence throughout Africa, too; especially in South Africa. Today's tyrants were yesterday's mission-school proteges. Many dictators in Africa were men of the cloth. They knew their clerical collars would deflect criticism and obfuscate their real aims, which had nothing whatever to do with the "brotherhood of man."

Other tyrants, like the infamous Idi Amin, were trained and schooled by the whites themselves, at Oxford, Cambridge, and Harvard. After receiving the best from the West, they unleashed a resentful bloodlust against their benefactors.

From what I have seen and read thus far, I fear Americans will capitulate just as we did. Americans are, generally, a soft lot. They don't want to quarrel or obstruct the claims of those who believe they were wronged. They like peace and quiet, and they want to compromise and be nice.

A television program that aired in South Africa showed a town meeting somewhere in Southern California where people met to complain about falling standards in the schools. Whites who politely spoke at the meeting clearly resented the influx of Mexican immigrants into their community. When a handful of Chicanos at the back of the hall shouted and waved their hands at them, the whites simply shrunk back into their seats rather than tell the noisemakers to shut up. They didn't want to quarrel.

In America, the courts are still the final arbiters of society's laws. But what will happen when your future majority refuses to abide by court rulings - as in Zimbabwe. What will happen when the new majority says the judges are racists, and that they refuse to acknowledge "white man's justice"? What will happen when the courts are filled with their people, or their sympathizers? In California, Proposition 187 has already been overturned.

What will you do when the future non-white majority decides to change the names of streets and cities? What will you do when they no longer want to use money that carries the portraits of old, dead white "racists" and slave owners? Will you cave in, like you did on flying the Confederate flag? What about the national anthem? Your official language?

Don't laugh. When the "majority" took over in South Africa, the first targets were our national symbols.

In another generation, America may well face what Africa is now experiencing - invasions of private land by the "have-nots;" the decline in health care quality; roads and buildings in disrepair; the banishment of your history from the education of the young; the revolutionization of your justice system.

In South Africa today, only 9 percent of murderers end up in jail. Court dockets are regularly purchased and simply disappear. Magistrates can be bribed as can the prison authorities, making escapes commonplace. Vehicle and airplane licenses are regularly purchased, and forged school and university certificates are routine.

What would you think of the ritual slaughter of animals in your neighbor's backyard? How do you clean up the blood and entrails that litter your suburban streets? How do you feel about the practice of witchcraft, in which the parts of young girls and boys are needed for "medicinal" purposes? How do you react to the burning of witches?

Don't laugh. All that is quite common in South Africa today.

Don't imagine that government officials caught with their fingers in the till will be punished. Excuses - like the need to overcome generations of white racism - will be found to exonerate the guilty.

In fact, known criminals will be voted into office because of a racial solidarity among the majority that doesn't exist among the whites. When Ian Smith of the old Rhodesia tried to stand up to the world, white South African politicians were among the Westerners pressuring him to surrender.

When Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe murders his political opponents, ignores unfavorable court decisions, terrorizes the population and siphons off millions from the state treasury for himself and his friends, South Africa's new President Thabo Mbeki holds his hand and declares his support. That just happened a few weeks ago.

Your tax dollars will go to those who don't earn and don't pay. In South Africa, organizations that used to have access to state funds such as old age homes, the arts, and veterans' services, are simply abandoned.

What will happen is that Western structures in America will be either destroyed from without, or transformed from within, used to suit the goals of the new rulers. And they will reign either through terror, as in Zimbabwe today, or exert other corrupt pressures to obtain, or buy votes. Once power is in the hands of aliens, don't expect loyalty or devotion to principle from those whose jobs are at stake. One of the most surprising and tragic components of the disaster in South Africa is how many previously anti-ANC whites simply moved to the other side.

Once you lose social, cultural, and political dominance, there is no getting it back again.

Unfortunately, your habits and values work against you. You cannot fight terror and street mobs with letters to your Congressmen. You cannot fight accusations of racism with prayer meetings. You cannot appeal to the goodness of your fellow man when the fellow man despises you for your weaknesses and hacks off the arms and legs of his political opponents.

To survive, Americans must never lose the power they now enjoy to people from alien cultures. Above all, don't put yourselves to the test of fighting only when your backs are against the wall. You will probably fail.

Millions around the world want your good life. But make no mistake: They care not for the high-minded ideals of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, and your Constitution. What they want are your posessions, your power, and your status.

And they already know that their allies among you, the "human rights activists," the skillful lawyers and the left-wing politicians will fight for them, and not for you. They will exploit your compassion and your Christian charity, and your good will.

They have studied you, Mr. and Mrs. America, and they know your weaknesses well.

They know what to do.

Do you?

Wow.

This is the first time I am nominating an article for the front page . . .

He left out right-wing politicians here. Let's not forget this isn't a lefty only problem.

But one thing I really really really hate about liberals is that they are the ones that started this "entitlement" mentality.

One of the sickest examples comes from my own family. I have a liberal family that lives in the rural area far from the illegals or any racial group except white. They are staunch NPR dittoheads. The way I was treated when I told them I was sick from a disease that came from illegals was, er.. well, like a gay person telling Fred Phelps they have AIDS. I was told that they would trust the word of the "brown man" (their racist term for illegals) before they trusted what I had to say in the matter.

These are the same people who support the "global citizens" when asked about the jobs and money my husband and I lost to third world outsourcing I was told that it was time for the "white man" to share with the rest of the world. Nevermind that these are people who will never have to share their jobs (they retired long before outsourcing ever started), land, clean private water supply or anything else with the third world. They just sit their in their stupid NPR fantasy land and pretend they are doing something good when they write a $20 check for more food for the third world.

Every year this same family sends us cards at christmas time congradulating themselves for sending a cow to "feed the third world" Last year I sent $10 to planned parenthood for third world birth control pills and sent them a card congradulating us for doing something for the third world. Of course, being liberals I caught them in a trap they couldn't complain about. No liberal can complain about planned parenthood and I knew that when I sent it.

Hehe.. Libby, you're funny!

Hope you're feeling better today.

That article is absolutely terrifying.! I can hear the truth in it. I've written before about the attitudes of the peoples of the countries that my husband and I were posted in. They-to a person-believed that Americans are too rich and too stupid. They cheated us as often as possible with that sly 'what can you do about it' look. The really dumb ones thought we didn't even know we were being 'taken'. But, they were right. There was nothing we could do about it, we were in their country.

I hope we haven't rallied to fight too little too late. I want a secure homeland for my g-children.

I'm doin' ok, some days are better than others. I sleep a lot though.

I don't want to get to far into this because I know I have some different views
on family planning than the nice conservative people I've met online, but I'll tell you what really makes this a comedy.

With the NPR dittoheads family planning is a MUST for us in the western world, but if it's even suggested for the third world it's "racist." PP is a big liberal organization that makes efforts on this in the third world, but it's not really proper to discuss it nor do they advertise for it. Sending a PP card announcing your donation in someone elses name earmarked for "foreign" purposes is a nice slap to liberal hypocrites who think that dumping food and giving away our jobs is a good thing. They can't complain or protest, they gotta suck it up, because afterall, it's PP!

Ok, now the same goes for environmentalism. Oh you should hear the NPRs WHIIIIIIINNNE when someone is driving an SUV or a Hummer, but
heaven forbid you show them any pictures of the environmental destruction courtesy of the illegals on the border. They clam up immediately or make some unintelligable mumble about "opening the borders and this won't happen." Um, yeah right.

You know what I would like to see this christmas? SOS or ALIPAC or one of the other legal immigration activist groups doing the christmas card thing like the liberal orgs do. Make a donation in someones name and they get a card announcing a donation made in their name. Merry Freaking Christmas Liberals!

sorry to break topic here a little, but on topic of africa specifically, there has been an ethnic cleansing of whites there for some time. you'll never hear anyone liberal talk about it much (except for me, lol) most liberals i know spend all their time lamenting on the Dafur "tragedy" and sending more food, more stuff, more more more more more more more more more and on and on and on and on... it is endless. How much more money, food and supplies do we send before africa can take care of itself? How many more years?

Where life is cheap and people have nothing of their own to lose failure will always be the result.

I guess you could call me an isolationist of sorts (which is a terrible thing to say in liberal circles) I'm concerned and have compassion for the people HERE, in AMERICA. We need to take care of our people first. Africa has many natural resources. The africans need to take over their resources, manage them and support their people with that. Build something, create something and then all of that "nothing to lose" third world mentality will go away. But it's not our business to do any of that for them. Colonization of their lands was a bad idea from the get go. They need to stand or fall by their own hands.

you are not the only one thinking " isolationist " out there. I have been saying it for years. Pull back to our own borders. Spend our money at home. We (our government) could work miracles here at home with all the money wasted around the world. How many cures could be found, how many familes would no longer be hungary here at home. There would be free college for all American children.
I would even be happy to see us out of the UN, it would collapse with out American bucks.

I think the same way. I"m definitely isolationist. Our country has gone to the bargaining table time after time and given our country and it's assets away.

I deeply resent all the young lives that have been lost in fighting battles for other countries. I resent our governments intrustions into the politics of other countries.

I groan at the amount of money that is given away under foreign aid programs...money that goes into some tyrants pocket.

Don't get me started!! I'd better put the soapbox away...I tend to froth...
