A Warning For America From South Africa
by Gemma Meyer
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.
Americas 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 youve 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 Mandelas African National
Congress (ANC), the white government simply capitulated in order to
achieve €śpeace.€ť
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 €śpolitically correct€ť and, most dangerous of all, the craven
politicians who believe €ścompassionate conservatism€ť 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 €śoppression€ť and
€śracism,€ť 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 €śequality of man,€ť and his €ślove your
neighbor€ť philosophy €” none of which are part of the Third Worlds
history.
The mainline churches played a big role in the demise of Western influence
throughout Africa, too; especially in South Africa. Todays tyrants were
yesterdays 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
€śbrotherhood of man.€ť
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 dont 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 didnt want to quarrel.
In America, the courts are still the final arbiters of societys 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 €śwhite
mans justice€ť? 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 €śracists€ť and
slave owners? Will you cave in, like you did on flying the Confederate
flag? What about the national anthem? Your official language?
Dont laugh. When the €śmajority€ť 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 €śhave-nots;€ť 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
neighbors 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
€śmedicinal€ť purposes? How do you react to the burning of witches?
Dont laugh. All that is quite common in South Africa today.
Dont 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 doesnt 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
Africas new President Thabo Mbeki holds his hand and declares his
support. That just happened a few weeks ago. [Note: This article is a few
years old. -IA]
Your tax dollars will go to those who dont earn and dont 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, dont 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, dont 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 possessions,
your power, and your status.
And they already know that their allies among you, the €śhuman rights
activists,€ť 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?"
