Genocide Watch warns of White Genocide in SA



(Article from The New American)

While most of the world refuses to acknowledge what is happening in largely communist-controlled South Africa, the non-profit group Genocide Watch declared last month that preparations for genocidal atrocities against white South African farmers were underway and that the early phases of genocide had possibly already begun. In the long run, Genocide Watch chief Dr. Gregory Stanton explained, powerful communist forces also hope to abolish private-property ownership and crush all potential resistance. 

According to experts and official figures, at least 3,000 white farmers in South Africa, known as Boers, have been brutally massacred over the last decade. Many more, including children and even infants, have also been raped or tortured so savagely that mere words could not possibly convey the horror. And the problem is growing worse, international human rights monitors and South African exiles say.

The South African government, dominated by the communist-backed African National Congress (ANC), has responded to the surging wave of racist murders by denying the phenomenon, implausibly claiming that many of the attacks are simply regular crimes. Despite fierce criticism, authorities also stopped tracking statistics that would provide a more accurate picture of what is truly going on in the so-called “Rainbow Nation.” 

In many cases, the murders are simply classified as “burglaries” and ignored, so the true murder figures are certainly much higher than officials admit. The police, meanwhile, are often involved in the murders or at least the cover-ups, multiple sources report. A white South African exile living in the United States told The New American that when victims are able to defend themselves or apprehend the would-be perpetrators, many of the perpetrators are found to be affiliated with the ruling ANC or its youth wing. 

Experts are not buying the government’s cover-up. "The farm murders, we have become convinced, are not accidental," said Dr. Stanton of Genocide Watch during a fact-finding mission to South Africa last month. It was very clear that the massacres were not common crimes, he added — especially because of the absolute barbarity used against the victims. "We don't know exactly who is planning them yet, but what we are calling for is an international investigation that will try and determine who is planning these murders."

Indeed, most honest analysts concede that the thousands of brutal killings and tens of thousands of attacks are part of a broader pattern. And according to Dr. Stanton, who was also involved in the anti-Apartheid movement in South Africa and has decades of experience examining genocide and communist terror, the trend points toward a troubled future for the nation.

“Things of this sort are what I have seen before in other genocides,” he said of the murdered white farmers, pointing to several examples including a victim’s body that was left with an open Bible on top and other murder victims who were tortured, disemboweled, raped, or worse. “This is what has happened in Burundi, it’s what happened in Rwanda. It has happened in many other places in the world.”   

Speaking in Pretoria at an event organized by the anti-communist Transvaal Agricultural Union, Dr. Stanton also slammed the effort to dehumanize whites in South Africa by portraying them as “settlers.” The label is meant to paint Afrikaner white farmers — descendants of Northern Europeans who arrived centuries ago — as people who do not belong there.

It is the same process that happened prior to the infamous genocide against Christian Armenians in Turkey, Stanton explained. The dehumanization phenomenon also occurred against the Jewish people in Germany under the National Socialist (Nazi) regime of mass-murderer Adolf Hitler, well before the Nazi tyrant began implementing his monstrous “final solution.”

Unfortunately, South Africa might be next in line, experts believe. "Whenever you have that kind of dehumanization ... you have the beginning of that downward spiral into genocide," Stanton noted, adding that the situation in South Africa had already moved beyond that stage. The next phase before extermination, which began years ago in South Africa, is organizing to actually carry it out. 

"We are worried that there are organized groups that are in fact doing that planning," Stanton continued during his speech. "It became clear to us that the [ANC] Youth League was this kind of organization — it was planning this kind of genocidal massacre and also the forced displacement of whites from South Africa."

Genocide Watch raised its alert level for South Africa from stage five to stage six — the eighth and final stage is denial after the fact — when then-ANC Youth League boss Julius Malema began openly singing a racist song aimed at inciting murder against white South African farmers: "Shoot the Boer" and “Kill the Boer.” Described by the anti-genocide group as a “racist Marxist-Leninist,” Malema has also been quoted as saying that “all whites are criminals” and threatening to steal white farmers’ land by force. 

After the calls to genocide made international headlines, the South African Supreme Court ruled that the song advocating murder of whites was unlawful hate speech. Incredibly, the President of South Africa, ANC’s Jacob Zuma, then began singing it early this year too. Since then, the number of murdered white South African farmers has been growing each month, according to reports. Other senior government officials, meanwhile, have openly called for “war.”

"This is the kind of talk that of course is not only pre-genocidal, it also comes before crimes against humanity," Dr. Stanton said, urging everyone to remember that they are all members of the human race. 

"Those who would be deniers, and who would try to ignore the warning signs in this country, I think are ignoring the facts."    
There is also increasing “polarization,” where the target population — white farmers in this case — and even moderates are portrayed as an “enemy,” Stanton explained about the march to genocide. And that phenomenon is ever-more apparent in South Africa, leading Genocide Watch to classify South Africa as being close to the final stages of genocide in July of this year.  

The issue of land distribution, which has become one of the key drivers of the downward spiral, is also among the greatest concerns. The white minority in South Africa still owns much of the land despite ANC promises to redistribute it to blacks. But the re-distribution that has occurred — like in neighboring Zimbabwe — has largely resulted in failure.

Despite the atrocious track record so far, extremists including elements of the ANC-dominated government are now hoping to expropriate land from white farmers more quickly, with some factions even arguing that it should be done with no compensation at all. And the communist agenda, like virtually everywhere else where forcible land redistribution has been adopted, has even broader goals.

“Whatever system of land tenure is adopted in South Africa, the communists — in the long run — have in mind to take away all private property. That should never be forgotten,” Stanton warned, noting that he had lived in communist-run countries before. "Every place you go where communists have taken over, they take away private ownership because private ownership gives people the power — the economic power — to oppose their government. Once you have taken that away, there is no basis on which you can have the economic power to oppose the government."

Meanwhile, the South African government is stepping up efforts to disarm the struggling white farmers, too — stripping them of their final line of defense. As has consistently been the case throughout history, of course, disarmament is always a necessary precursor to totalitarianism and the eventual mass slaughter of target groups. In fact, arms in the hands of citizens are often the final barrier to complete enslavement and even extermination. 

“The government has disbanded the commando units of white farmers that once protected their farms, and has passed laws to confiscate the farmers’ weapons,” Genocide Watch noted on its website in an update about South Africa posted last month. “Disarmament of a targeted group is one of the surest early warning signs of future genocidal killings.” 

The exile who spoke with TNA said that many of the guns confiscated from whites by officials have later been found at the gruesome murder scenes of white farmers. Even mere possession of an “unregistered” or “unlicensed” weapon — licenses have become extraordinarily difficult to obtain, if not impossible — can result in jail time. And in South Africa, especially for white farmers, that is a virtual death sentence, with widespread rape and HIV infections being the norm.  

Dr. Stanton promised the Afrikaners that he would be visiting the U.S. Embassy and bringing the issue to the attention of world leaders. However, he also urged them not to give up their guns and to continue resisting against the communist “ideology” espoused by so many of the political and party leaders that now dominate the nation’s coercive government apparatus.  

The United Nations defines genocide as "the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group." The term also includes actions other than simply wholesale slaughter, though. According to the UN, among the crimes that can constitute genocide are causing serious harm to members of a specific minority group, deliberately inflicting conditions on the minority aimed at bringing about its destruction in whole or in part, seeking to prevent births among the targeted population, and forcibly transferring minority children to others.

Activists and exiles argue that many of those conditions have already been met — and any single one can technically constitute genocide if it is part of a systematic attempt to destroy a particular group. Meanwhile, experts say that the government is encouraging the problem, actively discriminating against whites, and in many cases even facilitating the on-going atrocities.

Of course, this would not be the first time a similar tragedy has happened in Southern Africa. When Marxist dictator Robert Mugabe seized power in Zimbabwe (formerly known as Rhodesia, once one of the richest countries on the continent), he began a ruthless war against the white population and his political opponents. 

The country promptly spiraled into chaos and mass starvation under the Mugabe regime when the tyrant “redistributed” the farms and wealth to his cronies, who of course knew nothing about farming. The regime murdered tens of thousands of victims, and estimatessuggest that millions have died as a direct result of Mugabe’s Marxist policies. 

Whites who refused to leave their property during the “redistribution” were often tortured and killed by the regime or its death squads. With Mugabe still in charge, the tragic plight of Zimbabwe continues to worsen today. But the mass-murdering despot is still held in high regard by many senior officials in the ANC.

Not all South Africans — especially city dwellers — are convinced that there is an on-going genocide in their country, or even that one may be coming. Indeed, the vast majority of blacks and whites would simply like to live in peace with each other, and there are plenty of other problems facing South Africa at the same time. However, virtually everyone agrees that without solutions, the precarious situation in the “Rainbow Nation” will continue to deteriorate, going from bad to worse.

Many activists seeking to draw attention to the issue are calling on European governments and the United States to immediately begin accepting especially vulnerable white refugees from South Africa as a high priority. There are less than five million whites in the country, about 10 percent of the population, down from almost a quarter decades ago. Analysts say that giving them asylum, however, may prove tough politically — partly because it could expose the precious establishment myths of Nelson Mandela and his ANC as being “heroic” so-called “freedom fighters.” 

Unsurprisingly, the establishment press has barely reported a word about the looming potential calamity. And by the time the world media finally catch on, many analysts worry that it might be too late.

  1. This is ridiculous , I agree that the killing of farmers has to be stopped, but the communist story has to stop , Communism is by large dead and nobody buys it anymore. Although redistribution of land could be a reality , 10 % of the population cannot be the owners of the land , important to note that the White farmers acquired the land at a time where it was illegal for blacks to own land unless it was in the farce called Homelands. Violence is NO but redistribution is fine , and if the people vote for a Communist regime then we have to accept the will of a Nation

    1. The ANC are in the Tripartite Alliance with the Communist Party and a Socialist trade-union. The government just hosted the Socialist International with the Deputy President giving the welcoming speech.

      Approximately 50% of the ANC have dual-membership with the Communist Party. The aims of the 'National Democratic Revolution' are no secret.
      This is also the same party that talked of creating 'East Germany in Africa'.

      And 'redistribution' goes against the values of a capitalist free-market system as well as private ownership.
      Private ownership and property rights are one of the fundamental principles of a democracy.

      Communism has also killed more people than both the First and Second World War combined.
      Dozens of millions of people have starved to death, been tortured, put in death camps and deprived of free-speech under Communism.

      Never has the 'will' of a nation brought about Communism, but rather an educated elite who use the ignorance and poverty of others to their own advantage.
      People in a Communist system are slaves to the elites of the Communist Party.

    2. Rui, come to SA and burn in hell you hippy bitch!! Its peaceloving ignorant C**ts like you who like to stick your nose in other ppls business and f*ck shit up. Back in the 80's South Africa was a prospering and thriving country and at one stage the Rand (local currency was equal to the British Pound. To give you an idea of how well we were off economically. Now corruption is rife through the land and farm murders of white ppl are the norm.

      Before you decide to open that stupid mouth of yours and brain fart an opinion, why dont you go to the country that you think is "doing fine" and see with your own eyes the attrocities taking place instead of sitting in your living room force-feeding on mainstream media who are just as clueless as you are.

  2. Mr Santos of course is referring to European-style Communism. He clearly has no grasp of the reality of this still potent force which has strengthened its links with Communism in China.
    Of course the African-style of Communism takes on its own identity, but the basic tenets are no different.
    It is the promises made by the elite of the party that are worrying and present a very clear and present danger to civil society.

  3. Mr Santos is completely oblivious to the actual Land Ownership figures. The ANC regime itself DOES NOT KNOW WHAT THE EXACT PERCENTAGES ARE, as has been espoused by the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development yet they continue to spout the "MYTH" of ten percent. The day the regime changed is the day blacks owned more land than whites in South Africa. State Controlled holdings including Game Reserves, former TBVC States and Servitudes is A LOT MORE THAN 30 percent. Also a simple population based percentage is complete idealogical bullshit. Compare KZN and Transkie (Eastern Cape) with the Karoo... 10000 hectares in the Karoo can carry as much livestock as 100 hectares in KZN. In terms of Crop production - the MOST FERTILE AGRICULTURALLY FRIENDLY LAND is already held by blacks in the fertile strip of the Eastern Coast. That most of the land is "owned" by the tribe is immaterial. It is held and controlled by blacks.

    The problem in South Africa is not land ownership. It never has been and never will be. The problem is making the land do what it should do - provide food to its fullest capacity. Easy to do in the fertile black controlled lands of the east coast but they farm at a barely subsistence level. Not so easy in the arid white controlled deserts and ice cold high veld but we export food.

    Santos - catch a wake up boy. Land has never been distributed fairly in any country in history and neither should it be. It should be given to those who can make it fulfil its purpose, not pander to some ideological claptrap that sounds good to the unwashed uneducated hordes but can only end in ruin.

    Good luck with buying food if it is done my friend. Ask the Zimbabweans where their food comes from. Not a locally made food product on the shelf - It is all from South Africa, Malawi and now their maize is being grown in Zambia buy Zimbabwean farmers who were dispossessed. Not only that - the farmers are placing cards narrating who they are and where they used to farm (in Zimbabwe) in each bag.

    YOU CANNOT EAT IDEOLOGY YOU CHOP!!!

  4. PS: If you believe Communism is dead you need to widen the scope of your reading.

    Communism is very much alive and well. Any Chinese, North Korean, Zimbabwean, Namibian, Venezuelan etc. can back this up.

  5. The barbarity of these killings is what enrages me, and the fact that they are so casually reported with less emotion than a rugby score. I'm sure this is the same MO as the heroic, and communist Rui, liberation struggles in Algeria, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, Northern Ireland etc It is a low intensity strategy designed to displace a vulnerable ethnic group by wearing them down and scaring them off the land.
    If the balloon ever does go up, and blood letting does spill into urban areas too, I think it is imperative and necessary to ask NATO now what contingency plans they have to protect the 100's of thousands of European and North American passport holders happily residing here. The electoral outrage and fallout in Europe could be significant, if all the warnings are ignored, as they have been. European countries should be calling their SA ambassadors in and chewing lumps off them for allowing mini-me-Idiot-Amin-in-training to talk such sh*te and not be reprimanded timeously. I think it is time that white South Africans applied pressure on Europeans to ensure that their significant investments are protected, as we should be too. Or will Siener be proven right that the Germans alone will stand with us.

  6. I don't think the international community would really rare. They might get their own people out and that's about it.

    Supporting whites in SA would probably not be seen as 'politically correct' by these people. They wouldn't want to 'upset' the other African states.
    Judging from my own experiences with some British and European people, they might even be happy to see the whites suffering.

    If it all starts hitting the fan, no one is going to help us and I think it might be only a small percentage of whites that fight back, maybe 30% at best. Probably mostly the farmers.

    All I see with most whites when I visit SA is complete apathy. Mentioning the brutality of the killings is an unpopular subject as it ruins the illusion so many have tried so hard to create.
