| Warning to Americans from a South African |
| 2009-04-03 |
| by Robin Noel South Africa may be the grim model of the future Western world, for events in America reveals 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 Not just White Americans, but ALL Americans holding the values called 'white', which at this point still includes a majority of non-white Americans too. The US no longer has the level of moral baggage South Africa was carrying during the era to which Robbie refers - despite what the race warlords claim, so it is not a direct comparison, but I think his points still have relevence. 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 peace of the grave for our society. From what I have seen and read thus far, I fear Americans will capitulate just as we did. Americans are, generally, a soft lot. That's what it looks like to me too. 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. 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. 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. 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 weakness 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 Jefferson and Washington, and your Constitution. What they want are your possessions, 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? |

| #3 Unlike South Africa, the civilized are the vast majority in this country, even yet, not a minority holding onto power by force. In addition to being the majority, a great many of the civilized are well-armed, not a situation they will give up willingly. Finally, if the Koreans in Los Angeles are any example, riots that leave their urban ghetto homes are highly likely to be met by an organized and armed force of residents willing to shoot to kill if necessary. The French experience shows nothing kills the impulse to riot, rapine, and pillaging like a wiff of grapeshot with more to come. I recall OldSpook once advising that the first round to come out of a shotgun ought to be something like rock salt, which is attention-getting but generally not fatal, followed by a second round that is distinctly fatal... although it's quite possible I misunderstood him, as shotguns are distinctly outside my area of expertise. |

| #2 Somehow, the "Work harder for those who hardly work" idea doesn't appeal to me. |

| #1 You may bank on it. Goodness in heavy hearts coddles the child that becomes a full grown government into the greatest tyranny. It always gets it's way and growes at the expence of it's citizens and Soldiers alike. An Uneccessary evil. |
