Trump Confronts Ramaphosa and Media

The media does not want you to know what is going on in South Africa, because that might prevent the same from happening here, after demographics have been adjusted by Democrat open borders policy. But Trump wants you to know, so he showed this to ANC tyrant Cyril Ramaphosa with the whole world watching:

We are told to believe that white genocide is not happening. But Trump brought the receipts:

Trump flipped through a thick stack of news articles about white farmers being killed.

“Death, death, death,” he said.

He handed the printouts to Ramaphosa for his edification, in case he really doesn’t know what is happening in his own country.

This NPR headline is typical of how the media is covering the incident:

Trump Ambushes South Africa’s President With False Claims of ‘White Genocide’

Why false? Because NPR says so.

Ramaphosa is portrayed as the victim, even as he confiscates land without compensation on a racial basis so that farms can be left to decay. Similar people did the same thing in Rhodesia, reducing the Breadbasket of Africa to Zimbabwe, which is best known for starvation.

Mainstream media lies are particularly shrill on this issue, because South Africa is where the do-gooder mask slips off. The vicious hostility liberals have shown toward Boers who managed to escape with their lives was only a glimpse of the mentality that motivated them to reduce a prosperous First World country to what South Africa is now.

Asylum for White South Africans Enrages Liberals

First they pressured South Africans to turn over the country they created to a Marxist terrorist. Now liberals want to slam the door in the face of those fleeing for their lives in the face of the predictable racial persecution:

The Episcopal Migration Ministries … revealed Monday that it will not help white Afrikaners on account of the church’s “steadfast commitment to racial justice.”

EMM is an arm of the nominally Christian Episcopal Church, which in turn is an arm of the liberal establishment. “Commitment to racial justice” literally means “hostility toward Caucasians.”

They feel strongly about it:

The presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, Sam Rowe, revealed in a letter to fellow Episcopalians that rather than resettle farmers from South Africa classified by the U.S. government as refugees, the EMM is terminating its contract with the federal government.

No doubt this will cost them a pretty penny. Observes White House Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly,

“The Episcopal Church’s decision to terminate its decades-long partnership with the U.S. government over the resettlement of 59 desperate Afrikaner refugees raises serious questions about its supposed commitment to humanitarian aid.”

The answer to these questions is that this is not about helping refugees. It is about eradicating the core population of the United States through demographic displacement. Letting millions of illegal aliens from the Third World pour across the undefended border during the Biden Regime served this objective. Offering safety to a few white victims of racial persecution does not.

This initiative is the result of President Donald Trump’s February executive order, wherein he ended foreign aid to South Africa and directed his administration to promote “the resettlement of Afrikaner refugees escaping government-sponsored race-based discrimination, including racially discriminatory property confiscation.”

The Episcopal Church’s tantrum over Trump offering refuge to Boers whose lives are clearly in danger contrasts with its stated policy on refugees:

The Episcopal Church has long stood with immigrants, including through refugee resettlement with Episcopal Migration Ministries. Our commitment to immigrants remains unwavering…

Or at least it did until now.

The liberal media’s Yamiche Alcindor is similarly appalled that Trump is providing a safe haven:

Liberals are keen to suppress awareness of racial persecution in South Africa because the devastated country provides a template for how they plan to fundamentally transform the USA.

Moonbat Artist Draws Inspiration From Hyenas

Under moonbattery, everything is upside down, backward, and inverted. Healthy people admire eagles and lions. The sort of moonbats the media promotes in steeply declining South Africa admire hyenas:

They are often disparaged as ugly, sly and cruel scavengers but for South African artist Hannelie Coetzee, hyenas are symbols of female power and the normalisation of queerness.

The walls of her studio in the university district of downtown Johannesburg are covered in drawings in ink and rooibos tea of the sloped-back carnivores, her heroines of the bush. …

[T]he animal is also represented in sculptures Coetzee fashions from scavenged materials.

Scavenged materials are appropriate. Hyenas are to lions what vultures are to eagles.

Coetzee says she addresses the hyenas with which she identifies “from an ecofeminist perspective.” Endearingly for moonbats, they engage in behavior that has been portrayed as nonheteronormative.

She was born into a white family that was “on the wrong side of apartheid”, conservative and homophobic.

Having left all that behind her, she embraces her true family, queer-friendly feminist hyenas.

Previously, Coetzee was known for “ecological installations such as public urinals watering plants” — another appropriate choice of material.

According to her website,

“I am making a selection of queer creatures for this body of work to share how observing them, scientifically, contributes to the normalisation of non-heteronormative sexualities from natures [sic] perspective.”

Art isn’t about art anymore, if only because producing good art is hard. Now art is about moonbattery.

Speaking of lions and hyenas, countermoonbats may find this uplifting:

Kill the Boer Ruled Not Hate Speech

Hate speech is speech leftists hate. Egging on vicious mobs to murder people for their race is not hate speech unless leftists hate it — which they certainly don’t if it advances a primary objective like the eradication of the Caucasians who built South Africa. Consequently,

South Africa’s highest court, the Constitutional Court, has refused to allow an appeal of a lower court’s decision that the phrase “Kill the Boer,” referring to Afrikaners and farmers, was not hate speech or incitement under the law.

The decision Thursday ended a years-long battle waged by AfriForum, which represents a broad array of Afrikaner organizations, against a song used by Julius Malema and his party, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF).

By now you have probably seen Malema whipping up genocidal mobs with the song. Certainly plenty of South Africans have:

Note the gun gestures toward the end. The call to violence could not be more explicit, especially in the context of the ongoing torture and murder of white farmers.

Imagine if there were a song entitled “Deny Public Benefits to Those Who Came From Other Parts of Africa to Get a Piece of the Wealth Created by White South Africans.” Now that would be hate speech.

Free American Money Flow to South Africa Slows

Trump has been tightening the spigot on the firehose through which the liberal establishment blasts our money at moochers throughout the world. In South Africa, the leftists running University of Cape Town are not happy:

UCT’s research enterprise is heavily reliant on funding from international sources. Of these, US federal agencies contribute by far the largest share. The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) contributed a significant proportion of research revenue to UCT in 2024 …US federal agencies currently fund 155 projects at UCT through grants or subawards…

Then DOGE shone a klieg light on reckless spending by institutions like USAID and the NIH.

UCT stands in particular danger of getting cut off from the free money teat due to its malevolent leftism:

The UCT Senate resolutions on the Gaza conflict that were adopted by Council on 22 June 2024 risk triggering US sanctions targeted specifically at UCT, according to information received from the US Consulate in Cape Town.

However, not only UTC is affected:

The risk of federal funding cuts is exacerbated by the Executive Order issued on 7 February 2025 according to which “foreign aid or assistance” to South Africa specifically is to be halted. …

Political developments have heightened the risk that US federal agencies may stop funding South African institutions specifically.

This current story typifies what has been going on in South Africa that the Trump Administration does not feel Americans should be forced to underwrite:

According to Jaco Taute, the chairman of the Red Meat Producers Organisation and the member of the Gauteng TAU [Transvaal Agricultural Union]’s central committee responsible for safety, his neighbour, Adriaan Vos, called him [yesterday] morning at around 01:00. …

Vos, who farms on the farm Elandfontein about 2km outside Glenharvie, woke up to his dogs barking and stood on his balcony to look out when … attackers shot him in the leg.

He managed to escape to Taute’s home.

Taute, as well as his wife and son, bandaged the wounds of Vos, who had been shot at least five times, including in his arm and leg…

Just another night on the farm in the Rainbow Utopia.

The robbers set fire to Vos’ wooden house while he was receiving treatment for his gunshot wounds. The house burned down completely and Vos’ birds also died in the fire.

They were Boer birds, so they deserved it — right, Julius Malema?

Trump has offered sanctuary to escapees from the ongoing racial genocide in South Africa, as the civilization painstakingly established there centuries ago is systematically eradicated. Predictably, leftist propaganda platforms like Associated Press deny there is a problem.

South Africa’s Expropriation Bill Becomes Law

Leftists upset that Trump has been turning back their agenda can take solace that progress marches on in the rainbow utopia South Africa.

Via Daily Investor:

President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed the controversial Expropriation Bill into law, which sets out how organs of state can expropriate land in the public interest.

When Marxists say “public interest,” they mean “our interest.”

“Local, provincial and national authorities will use this legislation to expropriate land in the public interest for varied reasons that seek, among others, to promote inclusivity and access to natural resources,” the government said.

“Inclusivity” is a euphemism for “equity,” which in turn is a euphemism for “communism.”

The Democratic Alliance warned previously:

The ANC-led government … has snuck a provision into the bill to allow for expropriation with “nil compensation”, in the hopes that this would pass constitutional muster.

South Africa may have passed a tipping point beyond which a constitution can barely slow down the descent into tyranny and ruin.

Without property rights, there are no rights. Ask anyone who has lived under communism.

Next stop: Zimbabwe.

Shutting Down Mis-/Disinformation in South Africa

All we have to do to reach liberal utopia is follow behind South Africa. Here’s how it deals with misinformation/disinformation:

In a notice published in the Government Gazette on 22 March, the FPB [Film and Publication Board] has attempted to prescribe new regulations governing misinformation and disinformation in South Africa.

According to the FPB, an untrue communication is disinformation if you know it isn’t true and misinformation if you think it is true.

Who determines what you think? The government. Who determines whether something is true? The government.

Anyone found guilty of distributing such prohibited content faces a fine of up to R150,000 and zero to two years imprisonment.

R150,000 = US $8,066.

Internet Service Providers who learn that their services were used to disseminate disinformation or misinformation face fines of up to R750,000 and five years in prison if they don’t notify the FPB within 30 days.

R750,000 = US $40,330.

ISPs can’t pretend they don’t know about thoughtcrime conveyed on their platforms, because there is no shortage of eagle-eyed liberals eager to rat them out, as when Moonbattery.com lost almost all of its advertising revenue because it was evidently denounced to Google AdSense, Taboola, etc. as a platform for dissident opinion.

The FPB then also attempts to extend its powers regarding registration and other obligations of Internet service providers over platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Google.

Talk about chilling free speech — no wait, don’t talk about it. You might say something the government disagrees with and get fined and/or imprisoned. The rest of the West is not far behind South Africa — which in turn is not far behind Zimbabwe.

Even in the Rainbow Nation, there is still vestigial resistance:

Media Monitoring Africa, the South African National Editors Forum, the Campaign for Free Expression, the Press Council of South Africa, and the SOS Support Public Broadcasting Coalition have served the FPB with an ultimatum to withdraw the notice or face legal action.

However, the FPB is not backing down. What are lovers of freedom going to do, elect non-leftists? Demographics make that inconceivable.

Watershedding in Rainbow Utopia

Next for South Africa after no more electricity is no more water:

While hot weather has shrunk reservoirs, crumbling infrastructure after decades of neglect is also largely to blame. The public’s frustration is a danger sign for the ruling African National Congress, whose comfortable hold on power since the end of apartheid in the 1990s faces its most serious challenge in an election this year.

Who would have thought that investing power in the party of Marxist terrorist Nelson Mandela would lead to anything but bliss?

A country already famous for its hourslong electricity shortages is now adopting a term called “watershedding” — the practice of going without water, from the term loadshedding, or the practice of going without power.

Like everything else in the Rainbow Utopia, the water situation will likely go from bad to worse.

Over the [previous] weekend, water management authorities with Gauteng province, which includes Johannesburg and the capital, Pretoria, told officials from both cities that the failure to reduce water consumption could result in a total collapse of the water system. That means reservoirs would drop below 10% capacity and would need to be shut down for replenishment.

That could mean weeks without water from taps…

But the important thing is that they don’t have to worry about white privilege as the opportunists who poured in from other parts of Africa to partake of the bounty Afrikaners created die of dehydration in the dark.

Inheritors of South Africa: Women Want to Be Raped

Rape is endemic in the Rainbow Utopia, as previously flourishing South African disintegrates into a pre-civilization state of barbarism due to the triumph of moonbattery. How do women feel about it? Let’s see if potential rapists know. Britain’s Ross Kemp asks the previously oppressed:

In the case of female moonbats, these sociopaths may actually have a point. If they are not willing at some sick level to become victims of rape, why do they support the societal disintegration that makes sexual violence inevitable? Maybe this explains feminist support for Hamas rapists.

Checking In on the Rainbow Utopia

Moonbats managed to force South Africa to succumb to the sort of government they want. The story is over, with a happy rainbow ending, so there is no need for the media to dwell on the aftermath. But just in case you are curious:

According to the most recent crime statistics released by the Minister of Police, Bheki Cele, a staggering 881 women and 293 children were killed during the period of July and September this year. …

A staggering 14,401 female victims were victims of assault and 1,514 were victims of attempted murder during the three-month period.

Seventy-five people are killed daily in South Africa. Fortunately, the left-wing GOOD Party has a solution. Barks Brett Herron, GOOD Party secretary-general and MP:

“GOOD maintains that without addressing the toxic blend of social and economic injustice; crime cannot be reduced through more boots on the ground alone.”

No matter how intolerable the crises caused by moonbattery, moonbats’ solution will always be more moonbattery. That’s why a country is doomed once they consolidate control.

South African Federation of Trade Unions national spokesperson Trevor Shaku blames the criminal violence on “backwardness created by patriarchy” and “economic deprivation created by capitalism.”

No moonbat is going to say, “Okay, that’s enough moonbattery; let’s turn back.” The condition is terminal.

More Malfeasance From the Rainbow Utopia

The reason the lights will soon go out in South Africa is that state-owned Eskom is run by the same people who run the government. These people even run the churches:

The Sunday Times reports that Eskom board chair Mpho Makwana’s church, the International Pentecostal Holiness Church (IPHC), owes Eskom over R2 million in unpaid electricity bills that were due on Thursday, 17 August 2023.

Payment of this bill might help South Africa’s primary provider of electricity stave off financial collapse a little longer. But other uses have been found for the money:

According to church insiders, the IPHC continues to spend millions on luxury cars for its leader, comforter Leonard Modise.

These cars include a Mercedes-Benz Maybach GLS worth more than R5 million, and Modise was also seen arriving at a church event in a R7 million Bently Mulsanne in April.

Makwana declined to respond to the Sunday Times’ questioning and deferred all questions to the IPHC spokesperson, Albie Wessie.

Wessie stressed that Makwana “is not involved with Eskom customer account matters” — although insiders dispute this by saying that Makwana sits on the church’s finance team.

At least there is no corruption at Eskom:

Lights Will Soon Go Out in South Africa

Eventually progressivism progresses to the point where the lights go out. Consider the Rainbow Utopia:

Renowned economist Dawie Roodt said Eskom’s generation and distribution divisions are slowly dying, similar to South African Airways (SAA) and the South African Post Office (SAPO).

State-owned Eskom is the largest producer of electricity in Africa. It is going bankrupt.

The government is furiously shoveling other people’s money at Eskom. This won’t work.

Roodt said the government is trying to run things they cannot run, which causes them to collapse.

He previously explained that SAA had ten turnaround plans, and they all failed. “The company was ultimately run into the ground financially and operationally.”

“The same is currently happening to the South African Post Office. It is simply coming to an end. It is under provisional liquidation, and it is also just dying.”

The same could be said of the country as a whole. But all the racism there is against whites these days, so liberals count it as a win.

What Progressives Are Progressing Toward

Follow the trajectory of community organizer Barack Obama’s racial grievance politics through Black Lives Matter and into the future, taking into consideration the Biden strategy of displacing the American population with millions upon millions of illegal immigrants from the Third World, who are paid by the federal government to reproduce rapidly. Here’s where it’s headed:

Julius Malema is a South African Member of Parliament and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters party. The EFF has vowed to unseat Malema’s former party, the ruling African National Congress. Even if it fails, its leftward pressure pushes the ANC toward ever more alarming radicalism.

Jack Posobiec says South Africa is 30 years ahead of the USA. That might be optimistic. Major cities have already been lost.

The next step after South Africa is Zimbabwe, with 577% inflation and widespread hunger, but at least no more racist white people.

Chillingly, drawing attention to the impending catastrophe can result in cancelation. Advertisers including Google’s AdSense and Taboola permanently blacklisted this site for mentioning it.
