Videos: South Africa's Killing of White Farmers, Seizing of Land
From the article Trump Orders State Dept to 'Closely Study' South Africa's Killing of White Farmers, Seizing of Land, Information Liberation, August 22, 2018:
President Donald Trump on Wednesday night ordered the State Department to "closely study" the "large scale killing" of white farmers and the seizing of their lands in South Africa after Tucker Carlson blasted the State Department for going along with the theft....
President Trump no doubt caught Tucker Carlson's shocking report on the seizures just hours before:
White farmers in South Africa have been subject to what many have called a genocide:
Even though whites makes up a tiny, persecuted minority in South Africa, they're given zero special protections and are instead having their rights trampled on.
...Whites voted to end the apartheid system in South Africa in 1992. They ended the apartheid system only with the explicit constitutional guarantee that their land would never be stolen, but now that they've become a small minority with rapidly dwindling political power that's all gone out the window.
The continent of Africa is absolutely massive and has no shortage of natural resources. According to the former president of Nigeria, "Africa has around 600 million hectares of uncultivated arable land, roughly 60 percent of the global total."
Despite being "colonial oppressors," millions of Africans from all over the continent eventually moved to the whites' prosperous colonies in South Africa to share in the bounty they created. ...

‘Farmlands’ by Lauren Southern, Gregory Hood, American Renaissance, August 22, 2018:
...“Farmlands,” a new documentary about South Africa from Lauren Southern, is invaluable.
Miss Southern begins by noting that the most desperate reports about “white genocide” in South Africa come from the “far right.” She travels there to investigate “stories and rumors” that the legacy media refuse to investigate.
Miss Southern also gives us some history. This is important because it establishes that whites did not simply march in and begin lording over a population of indigenous blacks. Indeed, many of the blacks now claiming ownership over South Africa are historical newcomers who conquered or even exterminated other tribes. What’s more, Afrikaners bought their land for fair prices from tribal leaders, some of whom went back on their word. Miss Southern recounts the tale of Piet Retief, a Voortrek leader who made a deal with the Zulu chief Dingane but was betrayed. Retief was forced to watch his companions—including women, children, and his own son—beaten to death in what is known as the Weenen massacre.
Though Miss Southern tells this bloody story, she does not to mention the aftermath, the Battle of the Blood River, in which fewer than 500 Voortrekkers (pioneers heading east in wagon trains) defeated more than 10,000 Zulus. The victors made a vow to God to remember His help in the battle, and the Day of the Vow became a mythic event in Afrikaner nationalism. This is critical to understanding the mentality that built apartheid South Africa, a land that Miss Southern admits in her film has something of a “biblical” quality to it....
Parts of the documentary are difficult to watch, as white South Africans recount the sadistic murders of family members. The government is either unable or unwilling to prevent or prosecute these attacks, meaning that farmers themselves must track down the killers for the police.
Miss Southern also interviews farmers suffering from the effects of drought, a problem that may be exacerbated by the government’s so-called “Black Economic Empowerment” program, which is driving skilled white workers such as water-supply engineers out of their jobs....
Miss Southern points out that most white South Africans can’t leave the country because they cannot take their assets, especially land—though farms are likely soon to be taken from them. Indeed, even as this is written, the first land confiscations are already taking place, and Western governments are largely silent....

Reporters Outraged President Trump Brings Up South Africa, by James Kirkpatrick, VDare, August 23, 2018:
The United States currently provides South Africa with over $500 million in foreign aid, according to the State Deparment. Cutting that funding (and using it for the wall) and giving Afrikaner farmers refugee status are two things the president could do immediately to start turning around this situation.
