A very enlightening and startling essay...every American should read this
one. A harbinger of things to come?

This is pretty scary. As you read it you can see the path our country is on.
Hope we can have an awakening.

A Warning For America From South Africa

By Gemma Meyer

(Gemma Meyer is the pseudonym of a South African journalist. She and her
husband, a former conservative member of parliament, still reside in South
Africa.)





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.


America's 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 you've 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 Mandela's African National Congress
(ANC), the white government simply capitulated in order to achieve "peace."



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 " politically correct" and, most dangerous of all, the craven
politicians who believe "compassionate conservatism" 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 "oppression" and "racism,"
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 "equality of man," and his "love your neighbor" philosophy -
none of which are part of the Third World's history.



The mainline churches played a big role in the demise of Western influence
throughout Africa, too; especially in South Africa. Today's tyrants were
yesterday's 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
"brotherhood of man."



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 don't 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 didn't want to quarrel.



In America, the courts are still the final arbiters of society's 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 "white man's justice"? 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 "racists" and slave
owners? Will you cave in, like you did on flying the Confederate flag? What
about the national anthem? Your official language?



Don't laugh. When the "majority" 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 "have-nots;" 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 neighbor's
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 "medicinal" purposes? How
do you react to the burning of witches?



Don't laugh. All that is quite common in South Africa today.



Don't 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 doesn't 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 Africa's
new President Thabo Mbeki holds his hand and declares his support. That just
happened a few weeks ago.



Your tax dollars will go to those who don't earn and don't 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, don't 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, don't 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 posessions, your
power, and your status.



And they already know that their allies among you, the "human rights
activists," 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?

Clear, concise and accurate. Guaranteed to be ignored or refuted by all the ignorants recently chosen and those currently vying to be next elected as well as all their supporters both in and out of the media.

This is truly scary stuff! Even more reason to get and keep control of our borders and our immigration policy.
Years ago, I was a person who would drop what I was doing when uninvited and unexpected guests showed up, to entertain them. Then I realized that some people WILL take advantage, and I stopped answering the door, and the phone, too, if I didn't want to be bothered. I used my time & resources for me & mine first.
America, just like each of us, has a finite amount of resources to share, and it's just not enough to support every person who wants some of 'The American Dream'. If we can't control our borders, we may as well abandon the country, because it won't be ours for long anyway.

WOW!!!
What a great warning, we should learn a leason from this. We need to be ever watchful of the uprising of the people we took the country from. The Indian Nation will take back that which the Europeans took from them.

I do see the point that the author of the artical is trying to make. But, let's not compare America's socity with that of South Africa's. Instead a better comparison would be that of the Roman Republic and how the influx of forean ideas, culture and religion degenarated the Republic over hundreds of years.

"Give us your poor your tired your huddled masses."

This country was shaped and built by the imigrant. I come from an Irish heritage, but do not go around classifing myself as Irish American. It is a loss of a national idenity that will destroy America as was the case in Rome.

Can we suport the influx of todays Imigrants looking for a piece of the American Pie? I personally don't believe so, but i also don't believe the World can suport 8 billion people. Will America survive? Only time will tell, and history will be the judge of it's down fall or survival.

I have no answers to the problems that face the world today.
Nothing last forever.

As a canadian looking from the outside of the US I have already seen the beginnings of this. Especially here in Canada but definitely in the US.

There is a trend in the states to call yourself something-american rather than just an american. I hope you don't continue as I call my self a canadian although our gov,t calls everyone something-canadian.

Your schools used to teach the grade schoolers that they are americans and what it meant to be american. Do they still do that?? Does the daily routine of the national anthem and oath of allegiance still exist in the schools?? If not then you should look at going back to that as it is the best place to start and will entrench the thoughts about being an american from an early age.

Here we've lost the lords prayer, national anthem and other things in our school systems. We have police officers of ethnic backgrounds who do not have to wear the complete officers uniform as they wanted the right to wear their tribal and (they claim) religious headgear etc.

Even in our grade schools there are certain religious factions who have won the right for their kids to carry a weapon into the classrooms even thoguh the school system has a no weapons policy as they claim the weapon is a religious artifact!

Our native canadians have a number of on going land claims with the federal gov't that have been going on for years (some claims over 50 years). Now we have caledonia where natives seized a housing development and closed a hwy and other roads. Here the gov't caved in a bought out the developer but the natives are still there and still armed. Other roads such as hwy 2 near napanee has been another closure target and also up north they are threating to close the railroads and the hwys.

When will it end or come to a resolution??? Can't answer that. But here in canada it is already happening and we're on your border. Our illegal immigrant problem is costing us a fortune and the gov't is not doing enough to cure the problem as they built in too many appeals of decisions against illegals, so they fight and stay for years.

As a canadian and having family in the US I am not fond of the US closing its borders and making it harder to visit, but I understand what's happening and you have to do something.

Anywho food for thought

Visitors aren't the problem, illegal residents are, representing a huge drain on our country's resources, and flouting the law while doing it. With the aid of legislators and employers, illegal aliens can stay here, and get a job, too. Then they send their kids to school, and begin demanding accommodation for their cultural and religious beliefs in official policies, and before you know it, America will be involved in the same endless quagmire of ethnic infighting as is currently destroying numerous other nations. It's already begun: 'press one for English' is halfway down that slippery slope, IMO. Americans speak English, even if it isn't their primary language, or America is doomed.
