Warning For America From South Africa

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?

California teen threatens the President on her Myspace account

I just read on FoxNews.com about a 14-year old girl in California who is "upset" about the war in Iraq. So what did this self-described "peace-loving person" do? She posted last spring on her Myspace.com page when she was in eighth grade a picture of President Bush with the words "Kill Bush" across the top and a dagger stabbing his hand. This misguided CHILD then learned that (gasp) such things are a federal offense, so she tries to take down her site before federal agents discover it. Too late. Julia Wilson would soon find herself facing two Secret Service agents, who questioned her about the site. They pulled her out of class to question her (she is now a freshman). Her parents are upset that they were not included when their daughter was questioned, but that they believed the agents were justified in questioning Julia, but that they went too far by not waiting until she was out of school (nowhere was it mentioned that they were upset by what their daughter did). The parents also state that the agents should have found out sooner that they were not dealing with a threat.

Julia describes the situation with the agents in an attempt to pull at America's heart strings, a kind of "How dare the evil administration harass a little girl over something on her webpage when she is not a threat." She notes how the questioning left her in tears and that the agents "yelled at me a lot" and were "unnecessarily mean." Julia, YOU THREATENED THE LIFE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. While you may be a kid, the government cannot take such things lightly. You whine about the agents being mean to you, have you never been yelled at for doing something wrong? Did you not think that what you posted could be wrong?

I did that to illustrate a point, she is a child and is whining as if she was being treated too harsh for something that is very serious. I believe that she is only upset because she was caught. Honestly, if she were my daughter, the two agents would be the least of her worries. While she is a little too old for spanking, she would lose all electronic devices, computer especially, and be grounded for a very long time. Perhaps treating her as a much younger child with earlier bedtime and loss of teenage privileges in addition to the grounding would be in order because she obviously demonstrated poor judgment and a lack of maturity. I know that I may get some emails or comments from parents who will tell me "How dare I stifle her individuality and violate her rights." This only leads me to my next point.

This case brings a debate to the forefront, whether kids are entitled to the rights in the Bill of Rights. I firmly believe they are not. I was taught in government class when I was 18 and newly registered to vote that those who don't do anything to change the system have no right to question it. Meaning if you don't vote, don't say anything about the government as you are doing nothing to change the system. I have dealt with professors who are not US citizens and think that they can comment on our government and I have wanted to tell them to keep quiet. This applies to children as well. I am not saying that parents should not talk with their kids about politics when they are young as doing so will educate the child as to how our system works and make them a more informed voter, which is good when they turn 18. However, such discussions should be limited to the privacy of the home and only between the child and parents/guardians. Most adults do not want to here about politics from kids and I certainly feel that they should just be kids as they grow up fast enough (I'm 22 and I still can't believe how fast time flies and I have heard it gets better the older you get) and the adult things will have many more years to flourish.

As for the Bill of Rights, I mentioned the above to show that I believe these rights are a guarantee of adult citizenship and do not apply to children. I do believe that kids have rights: the right to be loved, the right to feel safe and protected, the right to clean clothes (meaning that they are not running around in rags in winter), the right to a warm loving home, and the right to play and have fun. I believe that Julia Wilson is entitled to these rights as are all children, but she is NOT entitled to free speech rights. That right, as with the others in the Constitution, come with great responsibility, which is beyond what a child can handle. You can't run into a crowded theater and yell "Fire!" as it would start a panic, just as you can't threaten the life of the President.

To go back to the parents stating that the agents should have realized sooner that Julia was not a threat, where have you been the last few years? We live in an age where creeps impersonate children online and children threaten to kill their classmates because they were teased. Who is to say that Julia's website was not being run by a terrorist or other threat? We have bomb threats called into schools that turn out to be nothing, should the authorities assume that every threat is just that? No, just like they can't assume that every threat on the President's life is not coming from a misguided child who has too much time and freedom as far as parental control. Let this be a lesson to all you parents, do NOT let your child have a Myspace account, they don't need it. Also, make it clear that things like this are very serious and come with serious consequences. To all you liberal parents who despise Bush and the war, while you are entitled to your opinions (and I appreciate you reading my blog), please tell your kids that they should not mimic your politics and that things like the case above can get them in serious trouble.

As for Julia, I don't know if she really learned her lesson. She is back on Myspace attempting to organize her fellow children to protest the war. Though the agents said they would delete the case file on her, I would personally look into the parents as well as in most cases the apple does not fall far from the tree. Freedom is precious, but it also comes with a great price and with great responsibility, which I believe most children can't grasp or handle. Kids, get off the computer and go outside and play. Your only kids for so long, leave the politics to us adults.

Culture Warrior a Hit with this traditional warrior

I recently finished Bill O'Reilly's latest book Culture Warrior and commend him on this fine work. Bill O'Reilly, for those who do not know, is host of one of the top rated cable news programs in the nation The O'Reilly Factor, which airs at 8PM Eastern/7PM Central on The Fox News Channel. He uses facts and personal accounts to describe to Americans a domestic war that many may not realize is going on, but one that is as vital to the future and security of our great nation as the War on Terror. He mentions the personal and emotional nature of the book as well as the effect of his fight on both him and his family. This is one reason why I enjoyed the book as Bill was pouring his heart out into the culture war.

O'Reilly notes early on that the culture war is between two factions: the traditionalists who see America as a great nation that does good things in the world (even if we have made mistakes in the past), and the secular-progressives who he shortens to S-Ps who see America as a major source of the problems in the world and seek to undermine America to bring about a secular socialist state. Bill emphasizes that this war is not a conservative vs. liberal one as he stresses that some liberals fall in with the traditionalist camp, while some conservatives fall in with the S-P crowd. He also notes that the factions do not split necessarily down religious lines.

After the initial briefing, O'Reilly begins his examination of the culture war by painting a bleak scene of America's potential future if the S-P crowd wins the war. In his hypothetical State of the Union, America is a changed land. Religion and spirituality are stricken from the public arena and income redistribution punishes the wealthy and has created a nanny state with many more social programs. America has weakened and tows the line of European socialists and the UN. This America experiences more terror attacks on its soil (we pray that no more do happen on our soil), but they are seen as "a small price to pay" for this version of America.(13) Now while this scenario is a little extreme, Bill uses it to illustrate the threat very well. One shudders to think of America described above, which is why traditionalists must read Bill's analysis and join the war.

Bill then looks at the S-P army overall and the main commanders who include far-left billionaire George Soros, professor at UC-Berkeley George Lakoff, and Peter Lewis. He then notes the S-P shock troops, the ACLU as well as the mainstream media, who play major roles in the war.

O'Reilly examines the media's role in the culture war more in depth, exposing liberal reporters/anchors like Dan Rather, Tom Brokaw, and Walter Cronkite, as well as Public Television's Bill Moyers. He also notes the cable networks CNN and MSNBC. He also looks at the S-P allies in the morning news programs and late-night personalities (Leno, Letterman, and John Stewart), highlighting his appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman earlier this year as compared to visits to The Tonight Show. He also notes Peter Jennings and Ted Koppel, who he describes as straight shooters, though liberal, but not S-P soldiers.

O'Reilly then looks at the media forces in the traditional army, specifically Fox News Channel as well as his own highly successful program on FNC The O'Reilly Factor and its influence on America in the broader culture war. He notes his early issues with trying to have S-P voices on his show and how it did not go as planned, but how he has rebounded and learned. Later on, Bill humbly (in my opinion) examines some of the minor setbacks in the culture war battlefield, including S-P ambushes, and how he has learned from these mistakes for the most part and is a more effective culture warrior.

Two major areas that O'Reilly examines are the Christmas battle and the battle for the minds of our children. He cites good examples of S-P abuses against cities and towns across our nation over Christmas displays and other things relating to that wonderful time of year, which are mainly perpetrated by the ACLU. He notes how many in the S-P camp deny the existence of a "War on Christmas", but Bill backs it up with facts.

Bill's examination of S-P infiltration in our nation's classrooms is also backed up with numerous examples. Within this battle lies the battle over school choice, something the S-P crowd is against. This is because they seek to break our children's minds away from the influence of their parents so that these kids will be the future foot soldiers in the S-P camp.

This culture war is also linked to the War on Terror. While O'Reilly notes that terrorists like bin Laden do not like what the S-Ps stand for, they do support them because of the weak vision of America that the S-P forces believe in, which would make the terrorist better able to reach their goals. Through this, Bill emphasizes the importance of the culture war on America.

Ultimately, while the traditional camp greatly outnumbers the S-P crowd, the problem is that many traditionalists are not active in the war. O'Reilly notes that blacks and Catholics would be wise to join the traditional army and that this apathy in a way is why the S-P forces are having an effect on the nation.

Overall, Bill O'Reilly has created a masterful work that is of great importance to Americans who see our country as a force of good in the world. His bravery in exposing the forces who seek to destroy what America is has come at a personal cross. Through great facts and examples as well as personal experience, O'Reilly has created the perfect field manual for the traditional warrior. Soldier of the traditionalist army, pick up a copy of Culture Warrior, that's an order.
