From: CM Mathey Sent: 29 January 2008 To: '[email protected]' Subject: Whites urged to condemn killings W/Argus 26/1 To the editor: Dear Sir, I read the comments of the SA Institute of Race Relations asking Whites to condemn the killings of Blacks in Swartruggens and had to shake my head. I will condemn any murder from any quarter, however will not accept selective morality. In the last 14 years, 30 000 Whites were murdered in this country by Black people without an apology from those Black organisations. A young demented White kills four Black people and the press, the television is full of it, shouting racism over the roofs. But those 30 000 Whites are just statistics. The press and TV mostly ignore them. More than 1600 farmers and families were murdered in the most gruesome manner and the only things they got were a few lines at the bottom of some inside pages and were never mentioned on TV. After all they were only Whites. But I have seen the photos of some of those murders: a school boy in uniform hanging by the neck, a baby wrapped in newspapers and set alight, women raped and killed, old people battered to death, etc. Not pretty pictures to show the world. Kill the Boer, kill the farmer said the late Peter Mokaba, an advice followed by some of his followers. It is said that when a White man kills a Black man, it is racism, but if a Black man kills a White man, it is liberation. But if a Black man kills another Black man, it is Africa! I suppose that a White man killing Black people is news, because so few Whites do such things. It is so out of the normal pattern of things, that it must be splashed all over the media, while the opposite is so common that it is not worth reporting. This is racism of the worst kind, for it discriminate against sections of the population who are generally well behaved in favour of those whose behavior is criminal. If the SAIRR feels that it must apologise, so be it. Why should, for example, the entire Catholic Church apologise for a crime committed by one of its members? So why should a race be responsible for the misdeeds of one of its own. Maybe, on the other hand we should. After all there are so few of us who are criminals, that it would not take long. That of course on condition that all Black organisations and government spokesmen apolgise for every murder and mayhem caused gby their people to Whites South Africans. They would all spend their entire life on their knees. 30 000 dead, that is a lot of people to apologise for. I do feel for those people who lost their loved ones but I feel also for those of all races whose life has been destroyed by criminals who, it seems, can strike with impunity as they are protected by our so called justice system.

From: CM Mathey Sent: 27 January 2008 To: '[email protected]' Subject: Black and White - and right Dear Ms MacDonald, Your two articles on the above subject ended up on my desk and I must say that I had to smile. Indeed, we had 14 years of "freedom" and the school system is worse than ever. 80% of schools in South Africa are officially dysfunctional and it is not getting better wtih the years. They put everything on the back of apartheid education, unfortunately after 14 years they are forced to face reality, even if it is not politically correct. The Black child simply cannot compete. The previous regime was accused of promoting Bantu education, where children were taught in their own vernacular. The new regime changed all that and forced English education on children who could not speak a word of English. Now they want to go back to the vernacular. The claim of the present rulers when they were in opposition was abuot unequal education, so once in power they promoted equal education. What we saw was an emptying of Black schools in the townships as parents enrolled their children in formerly White schools, with the result thta there was an exodus of White and Asian children toward private schools. The reason was not necessarily racism, but the behaviour of Black children who brought their mores to the new school: assaults, rapes, murders, bad behaviour, etc and which the new law against enforcing discipline in schools made it impossible for the teachers to control their pupils. The regime, seeing thta Black pupils were unable to compete, first, dropped the standards and introduced a new syllabus, Outcome based education, whose purpose is not to teach anything worthwhile, but rather to keep the pupils "happy". The results were soon there for all to see. Some pupils could not read or write or count in Grade 10, but they were "happy". The maytriculation passes for Black pupils dropped to 29% while the other groups were flourishing. To compensate that, authorities all over boosted their results by sometimes 20% to enable the pupils to pass, or simply leaked the exam papers. It helped somehow but not much, so from next year the traditional matriculation will be abolished in favour of an "end of school certificate", not meaning much, which will be given according to the performance during the year. Everybody will receive a piece of paper so everybody will be happy. Of course that paper will be meaningless and those who want to go to university will have to attend bridging courses. The quality of university education has also sharply dropped to accommodate larger numbers of Black students, most of whom drop out after the first year. Some university diplomas which used to be accepted worldwide are not anymore. Interestingly, the top 20 matriculation pupils in the Western Cape, whose population is in majority Black and Mixed Breed, were all White, most of them girls. In the Coloured schools, it is vandalism, drugs, rapes, guns, stabbings, murders, gangsterism, etc. In the Blacks schools, girls are seduced or raped by both male pupils and teachers or sell themselves to the teachers in exchange for better marks. Teachers are uneducated and those with a bit of education find jobs overseas where at least pupils appreciate their efforts. We had schools for Blacks and schools for Whites. The Blacks in black schools did not like them and wanted to be in "White" schools. It is really amusing to see that in Canada they want to be among their own. The problem is not the school, or the teacher. It is the culture of the Black man, who cannot understand our so-called Western culture and never will. The tendency therefore is to bring down that culture to a level they can understand. But in doing so, they will destroy it and end up as they have been for thousands of years, at the bottom of the human ladder. We see that here everyday. After 14 years of "freedom", the average age of artisans has reached 59 years, most of them White, Coloured and Asians. We have run out of electricity because those "intelligent" idiots running the country, forgot that if you want to electrify a country, you must bulid power stations. Now the mines are closing down for lack of electricity. Worse, if one could build new ones instantly, there would not be enough stafff to man them as the products of our educational system are unemployable. And by the way, if Canada wants more of them for the sake of diversity, I will be quite willing to organise their emigration.... All the best and good luck to Canada. I do not think it realizes what it is in for. C.M. Mathey |

From 1999 to 2008 - Jews involved in ANC and are proud of it
Old news but proves a point:
Jews report how happy they are to be involved in the ANC. The same ANC who have/are mass murdering Whites in S.A. --- 30,000+ Jews will be a part of anything that has to do with mass murdering Whites and will report with glee of their accomplishments and call it "The Guts to Fight Back." Friday June 11, 1999 Jewish legislator heads South Africa opposition party SUZANNE BELLING Jewish Telegraphic Agency JOHANNESBURG -- For the first time in the history of South Africa's Parliament, a Jewish legislator will lead the opposition. Final results from the nation's second democratic elections indicate that the Democratic Party, led by Tony Leon, will replace the New National Party as the official opposition to the ruling African National Congress. The ANC won a landslide victory under President-elect Thabo Mbeki. Running closely behind the Democrats was the Inkatha Freedom Party headed by Zulu chief Dr. Mangosuthu Buthelezi. An elated Leon said he was "thrilled with the results. We've done so well -- much better than our expectations and than in the 1994 elections." His party, which campaigned under the slogan "The Guts to Fight Back," more than quintupled its 1994 votes. "We will now take the fight forward," Leon added. "People voted for us because they are concerned about the ANC and want a strong opposition, which any decent democracy needs." The Democrats "overwhelmingly attracted the Jewish vote, because we stand where their concerns are -- but it was not just Jewish people who voted for us," Leon said, adding that his party had also attracted black and Indian voters. Commenting on what it is like to be the first Jewish leader of an official opposition party in South Africa, Leon said, "It feels good. Being Jewish is part of me -- but I neither make a fuss over it nor deny it." Leon said the New National Party had published scathing reports about him "because I am not a Christian." He added, however, that such statements did not affect "mature" voters and those for whom a candidate's "religion seems to be of secondary importance." [ethics take the least importance] At Leon's side throughout the campaign was his Israeli fiancée, Michal Even-Zahav, whom he met when he visited Israel several years ago to attend a conference for Jewish legislators. Even-Zahav and her two children, ages 12 and 14, will be settling in South Africa in August. She betrayed her sympathy for Israeli Prime Minister-elect Ehud Barak when she said last week, on the day South Africa's elections were held, "We were lucky in the Israeli elections. I hope I have brought the luck with me." Leon's brother, Peter, is leader of the Democrats in the Gauteng Province, which includes Johannesburg and Pretoria. As a result of the voting, the party will lead the opposition there as well. "In a sense, we did get a lot of Jewish support," said Peter Leon. "Tony resonates well in the Jewish community. "In a country which is largely Christian, the fact that Tony is Jewish did not harm him. Jews in South Africa have never been as unthreatened as they are now." He added that South Africa's Jews come from a "European liberal tradition and have always found apartheid abhorrent. "There are many white ANC and Communist Party leaders who are Jewish. Jews have always been on the right side in the struggle to fight apartheid," he said. South Africa has between 80,000 and 90,000 Jews out of a total population of some 43 million. The approximately 45,000 Jews eligible to vote represent less than 1 percent of the total electorate. Meanwhile, a Jewish member of Parliament from the ruling party claimed the election results indicate that Mbeki's party had received significant support from Jewish voters. "I think the election results say it all -- especially the support we've received from Jews," said Andrew Feinstein. "There are a fair number of Jewish representatives who have been voted in through the ANC," he added. "It is important that Jews engage with government and feel part of the changes in the country. The implications for the Jewish community are very good." Echoing the sentiment of Peter Leon that the country's Jews have a proud record of fighting for democracy, Feinstein urged the Jewish community to "continue to put their shoulder to the wheel and become a full part of the process of reconstruction and development."

From: CMM
Sent: 01 June 2008 To: [email protected] Subject: Even during apartheid it was still possible to be proud to be South African Dear Mr. Weaver, I read the above article with a bit of amusement at the naivety of a white liberal who suddenly sees his carefully constructed make believe world falling apart. The problem with all white English speaking liberal who opposed apartheid was that they could not understand how SUPERIOR WHITE MEN COULD TREAT INFERIOR OTHERS in such a ghastly way. Subliminal racism to the extreme! Their grandparents were the backbone of the Empire which was bringing the light to the lesser breeds beyond the law as Kipling called them. Those lesser breeds of course included their fellow Afrikaners who were not behaving like English gentlemen, wanting nothing of the light of the Empire. They had to be made to understand the benefits of British rule in the same manner as the Irish or the Indians, millions of whom were starved to death for the greater glory of the Empire. When those Afrikaners finally regained their fredom, the remnants of Empire joined their enemies and destroyed their country (talking about xenophobia!) in the firm hope that what they fought for would turn out to be paradise on earth. They could not understand that other people had other ideas on how to run their life and that in time they would spit on those so-called "values", aliens to them, and return to their merry ways. The Afrikaners having lived longer in Africa understood that you could not put two or more alien nations in the same concoction without ending in an explosion. They tried to find a solution - apartheid - which of course was anathema to the Anglo liberal mind which had just discovered a new vision, "democracy", allegedly rule by the people. Democracy as I have always stated, is the right to choose between two or more horses belonging to the same stable. In it, the people are always screwed and are forced to accept decisions which affect them in an adverse way. In order to control those masses, they must be made unable to oppose the elites and therefore must be atomise through competing political entities, race mixing, class struggle. The present resistance against the massive import of alien invaders in this country can be understood in that context. As an author once stated, in a Western context, the sheriff would be the republic, the judge the rule of law, and the lynch mob, democracy. As to your friends in Africa, do not worry too much, they are just as xenophobic as the crowd here. Have you ever seen the film Africa Addio, where you see how the Arabs were slaughtered on the beach? Uganda is a cesspool of tribal conflicts, Ethiopia will soon reach a point where it will not be able to sustain its population trying to make a meagre living on eroded mountain sides. When Bob Geldof got himself publicity trying to feed starving Ethiopians, the population was 60 million, now it is 80 million, by 2020 it will be 120 million. In Mozambique, the fight between Renamo and Frelimo was a tribal fight and the Shona massacred the Matabele in Zim. So what is new? Animals fight for turf, only the white man is too stupid today to understand this. We lost South Africa after WWII when the British wanted only British immigrants instead of importing the millions of displaced Europeans and of course in 1949 when the Afrikaners cut out immigration altogether. If you want to keep your land, you cannot allow aliens to take it over. It applies to all of us. If you want a flower garden, you must get rid of the weeds, whoever they are. If the flowers fall in love with the weeds, they soon will disappear. Nature has no mercy. the further one is from nature, the least one understand that rule. The Black man remains very near to nature and therefore understand those rules very well. To the local flowers, the kwerekwere are weeds. Full stop. Let nature take its course! Indeed I like the people of Africa myself. If we could export our local lot and replace them with those so-called refugees (they are not of course) maybe we could have a better country, until of course they become just the same. As soon as their growth rate reaches critical mass, there will be an explosion. Everything is population and resources. As the population grows and the resources diminish, it is a fight for survival. There is just no other way. This is how nature works. I knew Kaunda's brother when I was in Zambia. A nice man who was at the time Chancellor of Lusaka University, if I can remember. As to Nujoma, he just turned out as corrupt as all the others, but to his credit kept his country in reasonable shape. Wishing you all the best, I am, Yours sincerely, CMM |

Just to make it clear. I'm not sure what is meant by Dan Roodt, the scourge of the anc, however he is not one of us. He is and never was a white nationalist. He broke up the last standing white nationalist party the HNP a few years back.

Police shoot family in horror ordeal
A HIGH-LEVEL investigation is underway following a robbery and shootout at a house in Meyersdal, south of Johannesburg. Two people were wounded and admitted to hospital.
The drama began last night, when a group of armed robbers fired shots through the bedroom of a house before making their way on to the property. Police say the suspects tied up one of the occupants – a man in his 20s. They then ransacked the house and loaded several items onto a vehicle belonging to the family. Things took a turn for the worse when the sister of the man tied up inside the house arrived home, and was startled to see the robbers there. She was then tied up and raped repeatedly. The parents of the siblings, who’d been on holiday, then also turned up and were confronted by the robbers. At this stage, somebody managed to press the panic button. Police raced to the scene, but came under fire as they approached the house. At about the same time, a Land Cruiser reversed out of the garage at high speed, without lights. The vehicle sped down the road towards the police – and thinking the suspects were inside, the police opened fire, only to realise they had shot and wounded the parents. The injured were rushed to hospital, and the suspects are still at large. http://www.dispatch.co.za/article.aspx?id=243435 |

History: How South Africa Was Destroyed
http://news.ronatvan.com/2009/06/01/...kaaner-people/
Jews conspired to destroy the white South African government and murder the Boer-Afrikaaner people Posted by asgard14 June 1, 2009 In the 19th century the British fought wars to subject the Boer states to British Rule. In 1948, the Boers took power democratically, with the election of the National Party. In the 1960s the government of Hendrik Verwoerd took power and implemented the formal separate but equal policies in South Africa. These policies made South Africa the economically strongest nation in Africa, and gave the blacks in South Africa (and the whites) the highest standards of living of any African nation. Verwoerd’s policies had two main opponents. One was a Jew named Harry Oppenheimer, the other a Jew named Anton Ruppert. Both controlled banking monopolies in the country, and wanted “rights” extended to black South Africans for the purpose of extending their money lending business. Oppenheimer had ties to the Rothschild banking family and to the US CIA, which throughout the 1970s through 1990s supported the overthrow of white South African rule, at the direction of the Jew Henry Kissinger. Oppenheimer lobbied the Rothschilds to overthrow Verwoerd, who had publicly denounced the Jewish banking monopolies in Parliament. The Rothschilds secured the support of the Rockefeller, Carnegie and other “Anglo” families in the United States, and had those institutions lobby against the white government. Rockfeller influenced the Council on Foreign Relations and its members in the US government in particular to oppose white rule. In 1963 a group of Jews founded the “African” National Congress. The ANC was founded by Lionel Bernstein, Bob Hepple, Dennis Goldberg, Arthur Goldreich, Hazel Goldreich and James Kantor, with a few African front men — Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Govan Mbeki (father of Thabo Mbeki), Raymond Mhlaba, and Ahmed Kathrada. In this, the ANC followed the model the Jews established when they founded the NAACP in the United States, with the exception that the ANC was a much more violent and openly communist organization. These Jews and their African National Congress received funding and support from both the Soviet Union and the US CIA. In particular, Ruth First, the Jewish wife of Jewish Soviet KGB Colonel Joe Slovo, a leader of the South African Communist Party, was primarily responsible for funneling funds to this “African” National Congress. In 1966 the CIA financed the assassination of President Verwoerd, through their “lone nut” operative Demetrio Tsafendas, a Greek immigrant to South Africa. In particular, Oppenheimer’s South African Foundation funneled CIA money to Hendrik Van Den Bergh of the South African Security Police and John Vorster, the Minister of Justice, who were the men who recruited Tsafendas to assassinate Verwoerd. By the 1970s the Jewish campaign to subvert South Africa was having no effect. The economy was unaffected by sanctions and communist unrest was minimal — though much was made of it in the Jewish owned elements of the US press. In 1978 the CIA recruited Pik Botha, the South African foreign minister, as a spy and used him to subvert the South African government, working with Samuel Huntington and Chester Crocker, Botha was assigned to undermine and alter the attitudes of the South African government regarding black rule. Botha recruited Minister of Sports Piet Koornhof and Head of Military Intelligence General Tienie Groenewald to the CIA-Jew operation. Groenewald in particular passed on the names of Afrikanner nationalist and white rights activists to MI6 and the CIA, and arranged for acts of violence and harassment, COINTELPRO style, against Boer activists in the country. In the late 1970s and the early 1980s the banking families, Oppenheimer in particular, began to speculate in the Rand for the purpose of devaluing the currency. Inflation rose to 7 percent and growth fell to 3 percent, with inflation reaching 16 percent in the early 1980s. In 1989 a Freemason with ties to B’nai B’rith, the Jewish Masonic fraternity which controls the ADL, was elected President of South Africa. Presient Frederik De Klerk was a Jewish-backed candidate with ties to the international Zionist establishment. De Klerk worked for, and eventually achieved, the Jewish goal of black rule in South Africa. Today, South Africa’s central bank is run by a Jew named Gill Marcus, with the black frontman named Tito Mboweni taking instructions. Trevor Manuel, a Jew, is the Minister of Finance. Alec Erwin, a Jew, is the Minister of Trade and Industry. Helena Dolny, the Jewish ex-wife of KGB Colonel Joe Slovo, runs the Land Bank. Ronnie Kasrils, a Jew, is the Minister of Water Affairs and Forestry. Louise Tager, a Jew, is chairman of the railway system, Spoornet. Michael Katz, a Jew,is the chief consultant on taxation. Meyer Kahn, a Jew, is the managing director of the police service. Three Jews — Richard Goldstone, Arthur Chaskalson, and Albert Sachs — sit on the South African Supreme Court What has happened in South Africa under the name of “democracy” and “diversity” has been the Jewish takeover of their country. As with all Jewish governments, South Africa is now a failed nation. It is poor, it is crime ridden, and it is not safe to walk the streets. The Jews wage war on anyone who opposes their total domination of the world’s economy. They also work to make sure they control the governments of every single developed country in the world. Jews use whatever tools they can — phony allegations of “racism” or pleas for “democracy”, for instance — to win stupid, thoughtless non-Jews to their cause, but all celebrated communist, socialist, “democratic” and/or anti-racist groups in the world are Jewish run and Jewish financed. The only solution to the world’s Jewish problem is the extermination of Judaism. All other solutions, from expulsion to oppression, have failed, and the result is today’s total world domination by Jewish interests who are impoverishing, murdering, warring against and destroying the entire rest of the world’s six billion people. |

The Afrikaners were the German-Dutch rural Farmers of South Africa, who got sick and tired of the British colonialists riling up the negros against them,who would then come and rape their women and destroy their villages they decided to wrest control of the country from the British. I would guess the only reason South Africa ever became a livable place was because Dutch farmers producing food in enough abundance to keep them alive. to the British/Jewish colonialists, South Africa is a dank, dark hole from which to extract Gold Ore. the Boers actually started to make it a beautiful place. The niggers are always duped by Satan into attacking the people who are actually helping them by improving their standard of living, to the point they don't need to work down in that dank hole, which was the problem the Afrikaners were causing.

South Africa's rape epidemic
It isn't news that rape is an enormous problem in Sub-Saharan Africa, where victims are also highly likely to be exposed to HIV. But even knowing that, the results of a new survey conducted by South Africa's Medical Research Council (MRC) are still horrifying: More than one in four of the country's men admit to being rapists. And that's just the beginning. The heartbreaking statistics just keep coming: Three-quarters of rapists had committed their first offense as a teenager. Five percent had raped a woman or girl in the past year. Almost half were repeat offenders. And "men who are physically violent towards women are twice as likely to be HIV-positive... Any woman raped by a man over the age of 25 has a one in four chance of her attacker being HIV-positive." And it isn't only women who have been affected by South Africa's rape epidemic. While 28 percent of men admitted to forcing themselves on a woman or girl, three percent confessed to raping a man or boy. Of those surveyed, a shocking one in 10 said they had been raped by another man. MRC speculates the alarming statistics spring from the country's inability to shake off traditional ideas about the way men and women should relate to one another. " I think it is down to ideas about masculinity based on gender hierarchy and the sexual entitlement of men. It's rooted in an African ideal of manhood," said Professor Rachel Jewkes, who conducted the study's research. South Africa's Guardian & Mail notes that "Many [men] find it difficult to report such attacks to the police in subcultures where the concept of homosexuality is taboo." Unfortunately, it's hard to know where to begin working for change in a country where supporters of new president Jacob Zuma protested outside the then-candidate's rape trial by proposing (in song) to "burn the bitch," his accuser. There should be aid and education, certainly, as well as an ample supply of female condoms to protect women from contracting HIV. But all of these Band-Aid solutions end up sounding like out-of-touch Western responses to a crisis that is years -- and perhaps generations -- away from subsiding. ― Judy Berman http://www.salon.com/mwt/broadsheet/...h_africa_rape/ |

South Africa: Agitprop Material- circulate far and wide
Folks, these are signature graphics that I've produced for a WN agitprop campaign preluding to the South Africa 2010 World Cup. They're also for general circulation purposes to get the black-on-white genocide message out that has been taking place in my country these last fifteen years. Feel free to download and circulate far and wide. Thank you. M. (PS: to Alex & VNN Admin. I've run off my own bat to do these, and have done them for another WN site also. I hope you don't mind, but it is for Our Cause - and the copy is clean - no slanderous language, etc) |

White students plead guilty in racism video case
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...ljkoQD9H7FIDO2 BLOEMFONTEIN, South Africa — Four white former students pleaded guilty Tuesday to charges surrounding a video they made humiliating black university employees in a case prompting bitter protests that racism remains entrenched in South Africa more than a decade after the end of racist white rule. The men pleaded guilty to charges of illegally and deliberately injuring another person's dignity. The video showed the employees being forced to consume food and drinks that appeared to be tainted with urine. The students later described it instead as a "harmless" liquid. The court accepted the guilty plea and adjourned to Wednesday for closing arguments from attorneys on sentencing that is unlikely to include imprisonment. The video, which was shot in 2007 at the University of the Free State some 250 miles (400 kilometers) southwest of Johannesburg, used the university employees to re-enact the initiation rights normally given to students trying to get into the residence hall. The employees included four middle-aged women and one man. After the video first emerged in 2008, police dispersed stone-throwing students on the sprawling campus and classes were cancelled. Students Roelof Malherbe and Schalk van der Merwe were banned from the campus and two fellow students living in the university accommodation known as the Reitz men's residence, Danie Grobler and Johnny Roberts, were implicted in making the video after they graduated and had left the campus. The men's residence was also shut down after video received worldwide publicity. The university in the city of Bloemfontein has been regarded as a bastion for Afrikaners, descendants of Dutch settlers who are often most closely linked with white apartheid rule. Commentary on the video in the Afrikaans language included sarcastic references to the university's policy of integrating the campus dorms years after the end of apartheid. Black students make up 60 percent of the Free State university's 25,000-strong student body. Most of the support staff are black but the teaching staff are mainly white. Multiracial elections in 1994 ended decades of white rule in South Africa but racial undercurrents remained strong. Amid tensions on the campus in 2008, lawyers for the students said although it appeared as if the food had been urinated on, a "harmless" liquid had been squirted from a bottle. Apologizing in the statement, two of the students said they had been "crucified as racists" and regretted making the film, meant as a "satirical slant" on the issue of racial integration at the university hostels. In a sign of the gravity of the case, South Africa's most senior prosecutor, Johan Kruger, appeared for the state Tuesday. Renowned defense attorney Kemp J. Kemp, who represented Jacob Zuma before he took office as president last year, represented the students. Prosecutors dropped the corruption charges against Zuma. (This version Corrects that the video emerged in 2008) |
