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.)
eople 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 shrank 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 you all gave great in depth and thoughtfull answers this is really tough picking the best answer but i will today thank you so much for all your input. I was really impressed. Yes we have a problem brewing, and it begins with that 2/3 of Americans that don't vote, allowing an administration like Bush's to hold two terms in office. And believe me we鈥檙e paying for it. Future administrations have a lot to undo. We鈥檝e become fat, lazy, complacent and in some cases have been lulled to sleep. I honestly can't believe what has been done to our rights in the name of Homeland Security. Many have toned out, simply unable to deal with the present. However, there not all glazed over by Idol, Paris and Brittany. There are many who are paying attention, but inactive, waiting for the opportune moment, I hope. Some are simply centrists, like me. The problem is the right is too far right and the left is too far left, and the vast majority is stuck in the middle. If the power brokers continue on their track, and it does come to something similar to South Africa, I believe the result will be more like Romania in the 1980s, united against Ceausescu. Turning our nation's military inwards would fail, and then they would also realize the implications of the 2nd Amendment. There are lots of guns out there, and I mean everywhere. Remember that we Americans have done some of our best work with our backs against the wall, so don鈥檛 point a finger of failure just yet. There will have to be a giant slap in the face, perhaps several, before we wake from our coma. I will say God help those who provide the negative catalyst for that galvanizing element. But if a viable third party candidate were to grab that disenchanted 2/3 of Americans they would walk away with an election, that鈥檚 real change. Anything from the two-party system calling itself change is just the same ole bullshit. The thing is most Americans feel powerless. We're not. Example: high gas prices have caused many people to back away from gluttonous gas guzzling, in part, driving the price per barrel of oil down by over $4.00 in one day on Wall Street. As far as any other comparisons between our two countries there鈥檚 a big difference. Old World vs a country that is not even reached 300 yet. America as a whole is the second largest land mass on the planet, that's a lot of ground to control. I live in New Hampshire. Our state motto is "Live Free or Die." Hopefully it never comes to that because I believe it down to my very bones. As far as how you've pegged all Americans in your generalizations, you're wrong. We're not the people you see in International media, or when you visit and some of the things you write, generalizing American habits, values, demeanor etc. are pretty presumptuous. People who live in other countries love to try and put all of us into one barrel. First of all many people don't espouse any religion, there goes "Christian Charity," second you start killing people, messing with people's families, taking their property and trying to enslave them I Goddamn guarantee compassion and good will go out the window. Americans are damned if we do and damned if we don't. Instead of pointing a finger of blame for our standards of living, perhaps you should pay more attention to your own. Everyone wants to make us the living embodiment of all evil, be careful what you wish for. It's easy to bang on the left, but lets remember the right sells out whenever the price is right. This sort of article will never see the light of day in the MSM. looks like we should have been working out in the gym
instead of feeding our faces
and if they take it away from us what will you do.
those who fear this never voted
never up held the laws
never questioned the law makers we put in off
if this democracy fails it has been in our hands to save her and just waiting for Jesus to save us is not the answer
fear is false evidence appearing real
you have nothing to fear except fear
so lets keep spreading the fear brother I agree. We need to stand up for ourselves and quit being such pansies. The time for being PC has ended. Its just a random idea to me. It probably won't happen in my generation. Africa to colonize the world??? Its been a disaster for ages and its still one and probably will still be one for a long time. Its not like most Africans can afford to immigrate. it is true. during my lifetime, i have watch America become more and more a socialist nation.
Criminals now are no longer criminals, they are the product of a America's policies. they are no held responsible for their acts, we are.
The ACLU sues against anything Christian, yet upholds anything that isn't. so called Civil Rights have come to mean that any deviant person or behavior is defended despite the violation of anyone else's civil rights.
Now one of Presidential candidates is a Muslim sympathizer( by his own words) and who supports the UN having ultimate say over America's foreign policies. who sees nothing wrong with talking, unconditionally, to our enemies who have stated their intended goals to destroy us and yet questions why we should support our allies. he even has a bill pending in Congress S-2433 to make this law.
the so called changes he calls for have been tried before. the are the failed policies of McGovern and Carter. since people are too young to recall this or lack knowledge of history , it seems new to them.
i hope that moderates of both parties are awake enough to vote for the least liberal of the candidates. otherwise, we are in for perilous times ahead. I also have to agree with this I think this having OBama In is all part of the whole thing..
I have a errie feeling about it and have had from day 1 they havent taken my guns...yet...
now playing:salt in the wound - marty friedman She hit the nail on the head--Lincoln warned us we'd fall, not from forces without but problems within.
Americans allow our "media" to be a bunch of BS artists with their agenda instead of facts.
We allow our laws to be violated routinely because we're told we're too "lucky" and others have "less" and we OWE it to them to let them be uncivilized with impunity.
We are constantly criticized for things which are NOT our problem.
Imaginary wrongs are constantly whined about.
OLD, OLD complaints are NEVER given a rest even when so old no one alive can remember when it was a legitimate complaint.
Why we feel we have to "apologize" to everyone for everything when we didn't do anything to them is a good question. It's resulted in lowering ourselves to the lowest common denominator instead of raising others to our level. How stupid is that? I agree with it. We are in for a rough road ahead - especially if Obama becomes President. |
