To Be, or Not to Be

by Dr. William Pierce


"I've spoken about the murderous racial attacks against the farmers in
Rhodesia during the previous two broadcasts, but the situation there
continues to worsen, and I'm obliged to speak about it again today,
because the mass media in America continue largely to avoid the subject.
In addition to the invasion of White farms by armed Black gangs and the
murder of White farmers, the Black supporters of dictator Robert Mugabe
have turned to a new terror tactic against Whites: the gang rape of White
women.

Eleven days ago, on April 18, a Black gang burst into the home of a White
family just outside Salisbury, now called "Harare." They seized
28-year-old Brendan Jowett and repeatedly smashed him in the head and face
with a brick, until he lost consciousness. They dragged his 25-year-old
wife Tonia into a bedroom and gang-raped her. Then they found Tonia's
18-year-old sister, Laura Wiggins, hiding in a cupboard. They dragged her
out and raped her repeatedly.

Then the Blacks poured furniture polish, which they believed was fuel oil,
over their victims and attempted to set them afire, first with matches and
then with a burning log from the fireplace, but the furniture polish would
not burn. Finally the Blacks stole everything they could carry away and
fled. On the same day another White farmer and his wife had gasoline
poured on them, but when the Blacks were ready to burn their victims they
discovered that they had forgotten to bring matches. The farmer and his
wife got away with a brutal beating and the wrecking and looting of their
home. White Rhodesians should at least be thankful for the ineptitude of
the Blacks.

In the face of the overwhelming numerical advantage held by the Blacks,
Black ineptitude is not enough to save the Whites of Rhodesia from their
enemies, unfortunately. As I reported last Saturday, on Tuesday of last
week, a Black mob murdered Martin Olds on his farm near Bulawayo,
Rhodesia's second-largest city. The 43-year-old White farmer knew that
Black mobs were operating in his area, and he had sent his wife Kathy and
his two children, 17-year-old Martine and 14-year-old Angus, to stay with
friends in the city. Olds was a former member of the Grey Scouts,
Rhodesia's elite anti-terrorist unit, before his country surrendered
itself to Black rule in 1979. His neighbors considered him completely
fearless. Ten years ago, when a friend had been seized by a crocodile,
Olds had leaped from his boat and wrestled the crocodile in order to free
his friend.

Olds was alone on his 12,000-acre cattle farm when a mob of 70 armed
Blacks attacked his farmhouse early Tuesday morning. He telephoned the
police station, which was less than ten minutes away, but the Black police
didn't show up until five hours later, after he was dead and the attackers
were gone. Olds defended himself with a shotgun and a hunting rifle, and
he wounded several of his attackers. He himself was hit by several
bullets, and the bone in one leg was shattered. He bandaged and splinted
his leg and continued defending himself until he lost consciousness. Then
the Blacks swarmed over him and beat him to death with clubs.

As the news of the gang rapes and of the murder of Martin Olds spread,
many White farm families abandoned their homes and fled to the cities.
Black gangs then were free to wreck and loot their homes without any
resistance. One thing the Black gangs always do is kill any pets the
Whites leave behind when they flee. Two days after the Olds murder, on
Thursday of last week, an Associated Press TV News camera crew happened to
be present when a mob of 200 Blacks rampaged through a White farm near the
town of Arcturus, 35 miles northeast of Salisbury. The farm belongs to
Alan Windram, but Windram and his family already had fled. The Blacks
found Windram's six dogs and beat and stoned them to death while the
Associated Press crew filmed the incident. The Blacks were hooting,
jumping around, and gesticulating in their typical manner while they
killed the dogs, obviously enjoying themselves immensely. Then the Blacks
wrecked Windram's farmhouse and burned the homes of at least 30 of his
workers. All of this was recorded by the Associated Press camera crew, but
believe me, it'll be a cold day in hell before you see any of it on network
television in America. It makes Blacks look bad. It might make some animal
lovers like Blacks less.

Coincidentally, at the same time Martin Olds was being murdered on April
18, squads of Black police were raiding other White farms in the same area
and seizing firearms from White farmers, leaving them defenseless. And also
on that day, which happened to be the anniversary of the surrender of White
Rhodesia to the Blacks, Britain's Queen Elizabeth sent a message of
congratulation and goodwill to Robert Mugabe. And the Queen expressed not
a word of concern or disapproval about Mugabe's genocidal policy toward
Rhodesia's White farmers. The British government, of course, has been on
the wrong side of the Black campaign against Whites in Africa ever since
being on the wrong side of the Second World War.

Oh, yes: the British government did make one additional statement about
Rhodesia on April 18. Tony Blair's Foreign Office announced that no
special considerations would be given to White Rhodesians seeking asylum
in Britain from the ethnic cleansing now going on in Rhodesia, or
"Zimbabwe," as Blair and company prefer to call it. They will not be
permitted into Britain unless they can prove that they will be able to
support themselves. As I mentioned last week, Tony Blair is not eager to
have an influx of White immigrants who almost certainly will not vote for
his party. Black Rhodesians, yes; White Rhodesians, no.

But there is one resident of Rhodesia, neither White nor Black, who always
will find a cordial welcome in Tony Blair's Britain. That is a 54-year-old
man named Nicholas Hoogstraten. Hoogstraten is a billionaire landowner in
Rhodesia. He began buying land there in 1963 and now owns nine large farms
and cattle ranches totaling more than a million acres. He also is a
long-time financial backer of Robert Mugabe and his Zimbabwe African
National Union-Popular Front, or ZANU-PF for short. He began backing
Mugabe in the 1960s and continued backing him all during the time ZANU was
waging a terrorist war against Rhodesia's White population. He still backs
Mugabe financially, and in an interview with a major British newspaper,
the Guardian, which appeared in the April 21 issue of that newspaper, he
disparaged Rhodesia's White farmers and blamed the country's present
turmoil entirely on them. He told the Guardian:

This has all been stirred up by White disenfranchised trash who still
think it's Rhodesia. I have some good White friends in Zimbabwe, but these
Rhodies, as we call them, are disgusting people. They want to ruin the
country. They treat the Blacks worse than Blacks are treated in America.
I've had no problem with indigenizing my properties.

What he meant by that last statement is that when he buys a farm from a
White family fleeing the country to get away from the Black terrorists
that he supports, he fires the White managers and foremen and hires Blacks
belonging to Mugabe's party to take their place. He told the Guardian that
he expects that this practice, plus his continued support for Mugabe, will
ensure that his properties will remain safe from the marauding mobs of
squatters who have been wrecking and taking over White farms.

Last Friday's Guardian also provides a number of other fascinating details
about Hoogstraten. For example, he went to prison briefly in the 1960s
after he threw a hand grenade at the home of a business rival. One detail
the Guardian neglected to mention, however, is that Hoogstraten is a Jew.

His family, after being expelled from Spain at the end of the 15th
century, settled in the Netherlands, which accounts for his Dutch-sounding
name. During the 17th and 18th centuries his family was among the
Netherlands' most active dealers in Black slaves, shipping hundreds of
thousands of them from the west coast of Africa to the New World. He is a
kike's kike. Not only does he refer to the men and women who built
Rhodesia as "White trash," but he refers to Gentile women as "chattels" --
that's the word this unbelievably arrogant Hebrew actually used in his
Guardian interview -- and bragged to the newspaper that he keeps his
mansions in Brighton, in Cannes, in Monte Carlo, in Maryland, in Florida,
and in Rhodesia stocked with White women for his pleasure.

Imagine how pleased with himself Hoogstraten must be. He goes to Rhodesia
in 1963 as a 17-year-old with the money his ancestors made selling Black
flesh; he sizes up the conflict between the White Rhodesians and the Black
terrorists and bets that the terrorists will win because the Whites are too
soft and too Christian to beat them; he secretly makes contact with the
terrorists and begins financing Mugabe; and at the same time he begins
buying up White farm land. When the Whites finally cave in and give up,
the price of land in Rhodesia drops sharply and Hoogstraten is able to buy
much more of it. Now he is forcing the price of land even lower by
continuing to support Mugabe's terrorist tactics and expects soon to be in
a position to buy as much additional land as he wants at fire-sale prices.

That is really Tony Blair's kind of Jew. How the trendy liberals of
Britain must admire him! As for me, Hoogstraten's really exceptional
behavior -- living among Rhodesia's Whites and pretending to be one of
them while secretly financing the Black terrorist gangs who were killing
White farmers and their wives and children, all so that he would be better
positioned to grab their land -- is just one more bit of evidence that Jews
indeed are not like us. It is difficult even to believe that they belong to
the same species.

Even without the malign influence of Hoogstraten and his ilk, the
Rhodesians had serious problems in the 1960s and 1970s, and because they
are problems that also afflict us in America and our kinsmen in Europe
today, they deserve our attention. In the face of a Black terrorist war
against them in the 1960s and 1970s, the Rhodesians were presented with
the need to make a hard decision: either to yield their country to the
Blacks or to put an end to the threat. They evaded this decision and tried
to choose a middle course, and they fell between two stools.

In the 1950s Rhodesia was a prosperous, White country, and it was a very
pleasant place to live. The Rhodesians had worked hard and well to build
their country and to develop their farms. They were a nation of strong men
and beautiful women. They played as hard as they worked. Rhodesia was the
jewel in the crown of the British Empire. When the rot back in London led
the British government to begin dismantling its empire and turning its
colonies over to the local savages, the Rhodesians declared their
independence and made an effort to preserve the country where they had
been born and bred. But the rot had infected the Rhodesians as well.

It was easy enough for them to see the trend of things in the world. The
forces of liberalism and egalitarianism had won the bloodiest and most
destructive war in the history of the world. The best people all over
Europe had been hunted down and butchered, and the worst people were
ruling. Democracy and equality were triumphant, and their minions were
eager to spread their plague to the whole world -- or at least, to the
whole White world. Though infected with the same madness raging in Europe,
the Rhodesians naturally enough were not eager to commit suicide. They
refused to turn their country over to the gangs of Black terrorists that
were beginning to become active with the support of predatory Jews such as
Hoogstraten -- and also with the support of the Christian churches, in
which the madness seems to have taken hold with special virulence.

But the problem extended beyond the Jews and the Christian clerics. It was
in the Rhodesian people themselves. During the war they also had supported
enthusiastically the forces of darkness and democracy. It was not so easy
after the war to realize that they had made a terrible mistake, and that
the master they had served during the war was preparing to devour them,
just as it had devoured the Germans and the Poles and the Hungarians and
the Ukrainians and the Russians and the Latvians and many another nation
of their kinsmen in Europe. And I'm not talking now only about Soviet
Communism. I'm talking about the more general sickness, the more general
madness, of which communism is merely an extreme manifestation.

As I said, it was easy enough for the Rhodesians to see the trend of
things, to see the push for more equality and more democracy everywhere,
and the more thoughtful Rhodesians certainly could extrapolate the trend
and realize that it would mean the death of their country. But already
caught up in it as they were, they could not bring themselves simply to
reject it altogether and to reorient themselves in a better and healthier
direction. They could not simply say, "Whoa! We see now where this madness
of equality and democracy is heading. We can see that it means yielding
ourselves to Black rule and watching everything that we have built be
destroyed. We refuse to take that course. We reject equality and
democracy. We recognize every institution and every group and every
individual trying to push us along that course as our enemy, and we will
oppose our enemies with all of our strength of body and mind and spirit."
That was what they should have said, but they didn't. The rot was already
in their own souls.

To be, or not to be: that was the question faced by the Rhodesians, and
they did not have the strength of character to choose to be and then to
accept all of the implications of that choice. They did not want not to
be, but they could not accept what the choice to be entailed, and so now
they will perish. The country they and their forefathers worked and
sacrificed for will fall into the hands of creatures such as Hoogstraten
and Mugabe, who chose to be, and who accepted all of the implications of
that choice.

What are the implications of choosing to be instead of not to be, of
choosing life instead of death? The Rhodesians should have assessed their
situation realistically when their problem became apparent, around 1955 or
so, and they should have accepted the fact that they could not continue
existing as a ruling minority over a Black majority when the rest of the
world was hell-bent for equality and democracy. They did not have the
option that has worked so well for the Jews nearly everywhere of
disguising themselves and blending in with the majority population. They
could not pretend to be Shonas or Zulus or what have you, as Hoogstraten
had pretended to be a White Rhodesian, while maintaining a secret unity
among themselves and also maintaining their control and ownership of the
country. It wasn't just that the very obvious racial differences would
have kept them from blending in and convincing anyone that they were
Blacks, the way Hoogstraten had been able to blend in and convince
everyone that he was a Rhodesian; they also couldn't squat in their filth
and scratch their fleas and eat insects -- or each other, in order to
persuade the world that they really were equal to the Blacks.

Since they couldn't blend in, they might have tried another Jewish tactic:
control the opposition. If loyal, healthy Rhodesians had owned the big
newspapers back in Britain and had gotten their people into the
controlling positions in the BBC -- and also in Hollywood, since the
output of Hollywood poisons the whole White world, and not just America --
if White Rhodesians had been able to control the media in Britain and
America, and therefore control the British government and British public
opinion, they could have continued in the more or less quiet possession of
their country indefinitely. They could have suppressed the deranged
clerics, and they could have used any Black terrorist groups that sprang
up for weekend target practice. But that option really wasn't open to them
either. They didn't control the media. The Jews did, and the Jews weren't
about to let go. The Rhodesians simply didn't have the resources or the
time to take the media away from the Jews, even if they had had the will.

The one option open to them was to get rid of the Blacks. The only reason
there was a Black majority in Rhodesia was that the Whites who had come to
Rhodesia before them had made the country fertile and prosperous and able
to support a much larger population. There had been only 100,000 Blacks in
the whole area when the Whites began farming in Rhodesia. And of course,
the Whites utilized the Blacks for labor. They thought that it was more
economically sound than exterminating or expelling them. And in the short
run it was, but now the long run is catching up with them. In America in
the 17th and 18th centuries it seemed economically sound to buy Black
slaves from Mr. Hoogstraten's ancestors to work the land in the southern
colonies, but now the long run has caught up with White Americans also.

It would have been very difficult, very costly, very painful, for the
Rhodesians to extricate themselves from their mess in 1950. It would have
required determination and intelligence and subterfuge, but it could have
been done -- if they had had the will to do it. They might even have done
it in 1960. But in neither 1950 nor 1960 did they have the will. The
Christians among them would have been horrified by the thought of getting
rid of the Blacks, of either eradicating them or driving them out, just as
the Christians in America today cannot cope with the demands of racial
survival in this world.

But it wasn't just the Christian inability to make hard decisions. Greed
and plain, old-fashioned stupidity played major roles as well. The big
commercial farmers were interested in current profits above all. They
weren't willing to give up their Black workers. They weren't willing to do
the expensive things needed to replace the Black workers, such as offering
free land or very cheap land to White workers in Europe or America or
South Africa, if they would come to Rhodesia. The big commercial farmers
thought themselves indispensable. They could not imagine the Blacks would
be so foolish as to kill the goose that was laying the golden eggs. They
were willing to sacrifice the interests of their fellow Whites in order to
hold onto their own advantages.

And as I just said there also was much stupidity. Even today there are
White Rhodesians who believe that the problem is just Robert Mugabe. If
another Black, a more reasonable Black, would take his place, then things
would be all right in Rhodesia again, they believe.

Well, as I said, the Rhodesians could not accept the hard requirements of
choosing life in this hard and unforgiving world, and so now they will
perish. Let us in America ponder that, and let at least some of us learn
from it."
