Sickening

"Into The Cannibal's Pot: Lessons for America" by Ilana Mercer talks about violence in post-apartheid South Africa, pretty horrifying.

Let all the farmers move out.

No foreign aid.

Its like Zimbabwe all over again...the country that used to be the breadbasket of Africa cant even feed itself now.

If I am not mistaken South African bonds were rated Junk status last week.

yep, where's Rhodesia when you need it?

This is a great example of why Africa will never be first world.

And people wonder why places like S. Chicago are the way they are.....hmmmmm

I remember Rhodesia with fond memories.

Then Zimbabwe ... spiraled into chaos ... older white farmer friends out in the bush, providing food for their small rural town; who refused to move to safety and didn't get to a safe haven when the machete waving mob arrived.

What happened to them was of the lowest kind of mob incited, mindless criminal depravity. Weeks before we learned of their fate ...

Easier said then done unfortunately.

There is little market for their farms, let alone getting full value.

Limits on assets leaving the country.

Difficulty getting tourist visas to visit other countries for fear of overstays.

This is nothing new gents. I was in South Africa in 2008 on a mini-safari (2 day hunt) and spoke to my guides whom both were originally from Belgium and at least one of them had served in the SA Army. Heard numerous stories of similar events that predated even then. The bulk of the land in SA is owned by "rich" farmers and some of that land was taken or was trying to be taken away from them and given to the natives for the sake of equality. Africa is Africa and will always be Africa. Its like no other place on Earth. It's very beautiful and very savage all at the same time. As our airline pilot said, TIA...This is Africa.

Sub Saharan Africa has always fascinated me. Even after all this time, its as if the native Africans always have a primal urge to turn back to their natural state. All people have this capability under the right circumstances, but in Africa the veneer of civilization is especially thin.

Savages who do not belong in contemporary society.

I randomly ran into a South African immigrant (White) to my area a couple months ago.
I, being naive about the region, just started asking about what was going on there.
She immediately launched into a "racist" tirade that was curling my ears, and said all the White people are leaving as fast as they can.

I guess its true ?

I worked with a South African, know doctors and nurses who have done medical missions there, and have numerous friends who have been on safaris there. It's been 100% unanimous that Mandela turned that place into a hell hole basing nearly every decision on race. White utility workers were replaced with blacks, and utilities went from nearly 1st world reliable to what you'd expect 3rd world. Crime went through the roof, and most white people live in walled compounds. Health care took a hit too and diseases like tuberculosis runs rampant.

In other words, it isn't racist if it's true. Just like it's not racist in the US to point out that 8% of the population (aka black males) commit nearly 50% of the violent crimes.

Here's a look in to how things are.

Thank You Nelson Mandela. He is hailed as some kind of hero around the world. Now, we see more of the fruits of his labor.

I was stationed at Wheelus AB outside of Tripoli, Libya Aug 1962-Feb 1964. In Dec 1962, Louisiana Senator Allen Ellender visited. He was concluding his African tour. I still have a picture taken with him. They were only able to round up five Louisiana boys on very short notice to have lunch with him, and a photo-op.

When he returned to the US, his assessment was that the Africans could never govern themselves. This was when many of the countries were trying to no longer be European colonies.

Of course, this was met with huge disapproval.

As history has proven, he was very prophetic.

Who's going to produce these fucking moron's food?

This is exactly Rhodesia II. Friends who went there in the 70s said ladies went out of the house with a shotgun slung over their shoulder. Same with grocery shopping. A 1911 was over $1000 at the time, as was a Browning A5 shotgun. This is 1970s money. It was common for the natives to raid farms and kill the white owners. Many farmers fled the country for their own safety. The socialist/communist government redistributed the land to the locals. With in 2-3 years the farms failed and hunger was rampant. Warfare and terrorism became the norm. It's as if this continent is doomed by its regressive mentality. The modern borders mean little as things eventually revert to tribalism.
