A Warning to America From South Africa

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 possessions, your power, and your status.

Wow...makes my blood boil. I, like many here, can see these things happening. There's just so many out there they don't have clue though. The big problem is that most of the folks will agree with how it all started in South Africa and believe it was for the best. You can see it here in America as we all just want to get along. We give in because of a minority stamp. All men are created equal. No doubt in the past that hasn't been acted upon equally, but these days its swayed to the other side IMO.

This is way too true of the majority of the main stream people. I still think the overall majority of the real folks in this country aren't soft, but its going to take a lot to get them to come out and come together against the freedoms we'll be losing. One of our good traits (respectful of others) might just be our biggest downfall.

There is a huge difference in "respect for others" and " political correctness." Unfortunately, most Americans do not know that fact.

This though: " Will you cave in, like you did on flying the Confederate flag? " is a bit uninformed. GA still flies a version of the 1st Confederate Flag( even though Sonny did LIE.), and Mississippi still clings to it....although there is some truth in the author's statement, I wouldn't say that Southerners as a whole have "caved" on this issue. A short ride into any rural Georgia area would easily disprove that myth.


One of the main problems, in regard to the author's accurate description of what is happening is that the majority of people in modern America who do not judge people by their ethnic background or the color of their skin.......are in the majority. When you hear of racism, discrimination, etc - it's always from people who obviously still cling to the idea that skin color is an issue.

In a nutshell, there is no " White History Month" because we aren't so focused on the color of our skin that we feel the need to dedicate a month to it's value. Outside of some radical white supremacy groups and a portion of the population that's over 70 years old or so, and maybe a small percentage of the general population that is not a minority, the only people I see on a daily basis making a big deal out of anyone's race, are the same people that use their own race as a crutch to demand they be given everything on a silver platter.

Providing the crutch, caving in to multi-culturalism, "diversity" and class-envy has destroyed our cultural fabric. America had set out to create a cultural fabric that was like no other fabric of people in the world. Almost every country paled in comparison to the United States. We were strong, determined, smart, hard-working, moral people, and when it was time to come together to defend America - that's what we did.

We have caved to a class of people that have no class. We are sending our money to "help" people that can't be helped, and if that isn't getting the job done, we just bring those classless, helpless, people to this country only to have them dictate our agenda to us.

I don't have anything positive to say about Iran, but with their latest political developments, I can say that those people know how to come together to protest. If only we could stand like that.

I could go either way on the "caved on the Confederate Flag" deal. I agree that it is still prominent in the south, but as for GA dropping it as part of the state flag, I'm going to have to say that lots of people caved on that one. Sonny said we'd vote on it, and that go him voted in the first time, then he caved in and didn't have that flag on the ballot. Then...he was voted in again. I'm saying that those people who came out of the wood work to vote him in the first time (thinking he was standing up for them and was going to let them vote on the flag), failed to hold him accountable for his lie and vote him out the next go around. I would venture to guess that half of them didn't even vote the next time (and maybe never will again). I'm not sad over the flag deal as for as the flag we had/have goes, I'm just sad that the vote didn't happen like it was supposed to so that the people in Atlanta could have realized there are lots more folks in this state and that the state doesn't revolve around Atlanta. Oh well.

I can't agree more! The issue as that these people are so few, but yet get so much attention. With all of the attention they get, it sure is easy for them to recruit more and more onto their side....especially when they are pushing to get something for no work on their behalf.

Class warfare is also rampant in our country and is pushed so much by our government. They may sound like they are for the poor people and against the rich, but IMO, they are buddies with the rich, but need the poor to support their "change" and pull at the heart strings of those middle class folks that feel they can make a difference. In the end, the poor get nothing, the rich get richer (in most cases, but not all I would say), and the middle class get killed.

if they have their way.
the end isn't near yet imo.
the rope is lengthening.

Holy Cow! Think there's some folks not wanting to get left behind in the power grab?

This is just insane! Our money is going to these idiots to do this sort of thing.
