TEACHING COLLECTIVISM, COMMUNISM, FASCISM, SOCIALISM TO IMPRESSIONABLE CHILDREN IS BRAINWASHING
The “Wolf Pack Chant’ will be a new pledge created by the students and teachers. Zelski said the pledge, most likely named after the school’s wolf mascot, will “focus on students’ civic responsibility to their "school family", community, country and our global society.”

An Atlanta elementary school announced that students will no longer have to say the Pledge of Allegiance during morning meetings, and will instead recite a 'Wolf Pack Chant'.
Lara Zelski, the principal of Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School, said in a press release on Tuesday that it has become 'increasingly obvious' over the past years that more and more of the school community were not standing or reciting the pledge.
'Students will continue to lead the meeting by asking our community to stand to participate in our wolf pack chant together,' the school said.

She said students at the elementary school will instead recite a 'Wolf Pack Chant' and will have an opportunity to say the pledge later in the school day
Zelski said students who wish to recite the pledge can do so at another point during the school day in their classroom.
'This decision was made in an effort to begin our day as a fully inclusive and connected community,' she said. 'There are many emotions around (the pledge) and we want everyone in our school family to start their day in a positive manner.'
School officials said teachers and a K-5 leadership team will work with students over the next few months to create a school pledge everyone can say in the morning.
'This pledge will focus on students' civic responsibility to their school family, community, country and our global society,' Zelski said.

Zelski said the decision to remove the pledge was made because it had become 'increasingly obvious' that people were not standing or reciting it
The Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School, which uses the wolf as its mascot, opened in Grant Park in 2002 and serves kindergarten through fifth grade.
Controversy surrounding the pledge has been rampant in recent months after Colin Kaepernick and several other NFL players decided to take a knee on the field as it was recited.
In April, a Pennsylvania school changed its policy announcing that a student does not have to stand for the pledge because of their First Amendment rights.
'Personally, I hope every student will stand for our flag,' Bedford Area School District superintendent Allen Sell told WJAC.
'But if they choose not to, that's their First Amendment rights and we, as school leaders, have the responsibility to respect that.'
Last month, an 18-year-old student in Texas sued her high school after she was expelled for refusing to stand during the pledge.
India Landry told Fox32 that she doesn't think the flag 'represents what it stands for, liberty and justice for all' and said administrators violated her rights for free speech when they kicked her out of the school.
Google-owned YouTube has been caught meddling in the Swedish national election on the eve of the vote by repeatedly deleting right-wing content.
A satirical cartoon video that lampooned Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven was deleted within two hours after YouTube deemed it to contain “hateful” content.
The short film, entitled “To Make it Right,” made fun out of numerous Swedish politicians for their obsession with being politically correct. Apparently, this now qualifies as hate speech in the Scandinavian country.
According to a separate report, right-wing Alternative For Sweden party, which had its entire channel deleted and then restored by YouTube in July, has also had numerous videos made unavailable for viewing in Sweden.
“Complete scandal! With only 13 days left until the election day, YouTube is again on the offensive and censors all options for Sweden’s video clips,” the party said in a tweet.
Earlier this month, a video by the Sweden Democrats, who are expected to perform well at the polls, was also deleted without explanation.
The video, which consisted of an hour and 40 minutes of quotes and historical background on the Social Democrats party and its links to Nazism, was wiped after receiving over 190,000 views.
“For two days our documentary on the history of the Social Democrats was published on YouTube. In a short amount of time the footage received 190,000 views before it was removed. We are waiting for an explanation,” the party said in a Twitter statement.
The deletions all occurred after Swedish corporate media group Bonnier met with Google and demanded they remove “hateful” content.
Given the power of social media giants to influence opinion, Google-owned YouTube has shown a repeated pattern of interfering in the upcoming Swedish election.
The company is in violation of its own terms of service by allowing brigading by left-wing mobs to censor completely legitimate content.

Sweden is collapsing into utter chaos, with some no-go zones described as war zones, and sharia patrols having taken over some areas. Despite this, the government launched an “image of Sweden campaign” months ago, in order to downplay its failure to integrate Muslim immigrants and to cover up its skyrocketing crime rate, which forced its National Police Chief to declare the country to be on the verge of civil war. It has also been a nightmare for police, most of whom want to quit their jobs. In fact, Swedish politicians had to resort to calling out the army to no-go zones less than a year ago.
It will be quite a challenge to clean up the mess in Sweden, but the process may soon start:
The Eurosceptic Swedish Democrats Party is expected to take more than 20 percent of the vote in elections next month.
And its leader, Jimmie Akesson, is calling for a “Swexit” unless the EU reforms itself. Put mildly in the face of facts:
Its biggest campaign issue is migration as party leaders believe Sweden’s immigration policy has been too generous and that migrants have put huge social and economic strains on the country.
Let’s hope the citizens of Sweden vote to take back their country.
“Sweden election to spell nightmare for EU as anti-Brussels party set to be kingmaker,” by Alahna Kindred, Express, August 27, 2018:
THE Eurosceptic Swedish Democrats Party is expected to take more than 20 percent of the vote in elections next month.
It’s [sic] leader, Jimmie Akesson, has said he will hold a Swedish referendum on EU membership, while recommending withdrawal unless Brussels gives Sweden concessions that have been refused to Britain.
He said: “The EU is not the way to co-operate in Europe.
“We should renegotiate the terms of our membership of the EU and then the people should have their say.
Earlier this month two MEPs from the Swedish Democrats delivered an ultimatum to the EU.
They said unless the EU reforms itself then the party will urge Swedish voters to “take the next step on Swexit”.
A recent poll by SKOP that surveyed 2,100 people from August 16 to August 22 put the Swedish Democrats at 20.1 percent, surpassing the Moderate Party, which is the largest opposition party in the centre-right coalition in the Swedish Parliament.
The Moderate Party is currently polling at 17.1 percent and the leading party the Social Democrats have a larger lead of 24.5 percent.
There are 349 seats in parliament and 175 are needed for an overall majority.
There is no majority in the current government as it is distributed between two coalitions and the Swedish Democrats.
The Social Democrats, Left Party and the Green Party form the leftist coalition, which holds 159 seats.
The centre-right coalition called The Alliance is formed of the Centre Party, Liberal Party, Moderate Party and the Christian Democrats, which hold 140 seats.
The Swedish Democrats, which is described as the country’s nationalist party, holds 42 seats…..
A new White House petition has been launched urging President Trump to demand Congress pass legislation that defends free speech online.
The full petition, which can be signed here, reads as follows:
The internet is the modern public square. It is where political campaigns are fought and won, where journalism is created and distributed, and where grassroots movements are born. Yet, the free and open internet has become a controlled, censored space, monopolized by a few unaccountable corporations.
By banning users from their platforms, those corporations can effectively remove politically unwelcome Americans from the public square. That is repugnant to our shared values of free speech and freedom of the press.
The President should request that Congress pass legislation prohibiting social media platforms from banning users for First Amendment-protected speech. The power to block lawful content should be in the hands of individual users – not Mark Zuckerberg or Jack Dorsey.
The petition was launched after numerous conservative voices were banned or de-platformed by Big Tech in recent weeks, including Alex Jones, who was censored by Apple, Facebook, YouTube, Spotify and others in a coordinated strike.
Since those bans, Trump himself has repeatedly tweeted to draw attention to social media censorship, including today when he accused Google of favoring negative search results about him in its news results.
Google search results for “Trump News” shows only the viewing/reporting of Fake News Media. In other words, they have it RIGGED, for me & others, so that almost all stories & news is BAD. Fake CNN is prominent. Republican/Conservative & Fair Media is shut out. Illegal? 96% of....
....results on “Trump News” are from National Left-Wing Media, very dangerous. Google & others are suppressing voices of Conservatives and hiding information and news that is good. They are controlling what we can & cannot see. This is a very serious situation-will be addressed!
Earlier this month, Trump also drew attention to conservatives being censored online.
“Too many voices are being destroyed, some good & some bad, and that cannot be allowed to happen,” he wrote. “Who is making the choices, because I can already tell you that too many mistakes are being made.”
“Social Media is totally discriminating against Republican/Conservative voices. Speaking loudly and clearly for the Trump Administration, we won’t let that happen.”
In addition to the petition, with the help of top media lawyers, Infowars has drawn up a series of recommendations to be sent to the Trump administration that will help protect free speech online.
Suggestions include directing the Justice Department to open investigations into whether there are First Amendment & anti-trust law violations by the major social media platforms. Trump could also set up a Presidential Commission made up of free speech experts to advise him on future action.

Executives From The Major Social Media Companies Gather To Plot “Strategy”
Is the social media crackdown on conservatives about to get even worse? On Friday, representatives from Facebook, Google, Twitter, Microsoft, Snapchat and other major social media companies gathered to discuss “strategy” for the 2018 election. Supposedly they were going to discuss how to combat the flow of “misinformation”, but we know what that means. Every time the social media giants pledge to do more to crack down on “fake news”, more conservatives get censored. In recent months we have witnessed the greatest purge of conservative voices in the history of the Internet, and as you will see below, even more prominent voices have been hit with bans in recent days. Of course the social media companies are pledging that their censorship efforts are being implemented in an even-handed manner, but obviously, all of their meddling has greatly enhanced the probability that Democrats will emerge victorious in November.
According to Breitbart, this gathering of social media executives was initiated by Facebook, and it was held at Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco…
Facebook is reportedly meeting with multiple other Silicon Valley Masters of the Universe Friday to discuss how to prevent the spread of “misinformation” across their platforms ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
Business Insider reports that Silicon Valley tech giants including Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft, and Snap will be holding a meeting at Twitter headquarters in San Francisco Friday to discuss the 2018 U.S. midterm elections. According to emails obtained by BuzzFeed News, Facebook’s head of cybersecurity policy Nathaniel Gleicher invited 12 representatives from the companies to the meeting.
But this isn’t the first time a gathering like this has taken place.
In fact, we now know that executives from many of the largest tech companies met with representatives from the deep state back in May…
In May, representatives from Amazon, Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Oath, Snap and Twitter met with Christopher Krebs, an undersecretary at the US Department of Homeland Security, and Mike Burham from the FBI’s foreign influence taskforce.
Since that meeting, we have seen social media censorship get much, much worse.
Could it be possible that there is a connection?
And we have also just learned that Facebook will now be rating all users (that means you too) for “trustworthiness”…
The social media giant plans to assign users a reputation score that ranks them on a scale of from zero to one, according to the Washington Post.
It marks Facebook’s latest effort to stave off fake news, bot accounts and other misleading content on its site.
But the idea of a reputation score has already generated skepticism about how Facebook’s system will work, as well as criticism that it resembles China’s social credit rating system.
Yes, this is almost exactly like China’s new “social credit rating system”. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Facebook actually got that idea from them.
We are seeing the rise of a tyrannical Big Brother technocracy, and it is getting worse with each passing month. Just check out some of the big name conservatives that have been censored by social media in recent days…
-The Hagmann Report was just slapped with a 90 day ban by YouTube.
-Verity Baptist Church was just completely banned by YouTube.
-The David Horowitz Freedom Center just had the processing of their donations blocked by Visa and Mastercard.
-“Activist Mommy” Elizabeth Johnston was recently banned by Facebook.
In addition, Facebook’s censorship of PragerU has resulted in a drop of engagement of more than 99 percent…
Conservative non-profit group PragerU also recently appeared to be the latest victims of Facebook censorship, as many recent posts from the group’s Facebook paged suffered a 99.9999 percent drop in engagement based on Facebook’s own dashboard. The social media giant also pulled down two PragerU videos, which it labeled “hate speech.”
The social media giants seem determined to try to kill off the conservative movement in this country, and in my latest book, I discuss how political correctness has gotten completely and utterly out of control in America. These elitists don’t believe in free speech, because on some level they understand that their ideas would not win in a free and open marketplace of ideas.
In order to win, they must censor us. And the more tyrannical they become, the more Americans will start turning against them.
Fortunately, there are signs that the tide is starting to turn. Facebook’s web traffic in the U.S. is way, way down, and conservatives are beginning to abandon other repressive social media platforms as well.
The Internet is supposed to be a free and open forum where all ideas are freely discussed. If we do not stand up now, we could lose control of the Internet forever, and we must not allow that to happen.

Angela Merkel condemns Chemnitz stabbing and violent protests afterwards
Globalists, racists, and communists around the world freaked out after President Donald Trump, citing a segment on Fox News, publicly spoke out about the racist land grabs and brutal farm murders afflicting South Africa. As if to justify the president's ridicule of the establishment media as “fake news,” the fake-news machine kicked into overdrive last week to deny that anything bad was happening, while frantically calling everybody who notices reality a “racist” or worse. However, as this magazine has been documenting for many years, the horrors unfolding in the new South Africa by organized racist and communist forces — all backed and facilitated by Deep State globalists in the West — are undeniable. And if current trends continue, the situation is likely to go from bad to worse, quickly.
Trump may have just changed the course of history.
The explosion of recent international attention about South Africa began when Fox News host Tucker Carlson, the most popular host on cable news after fellow Fox host Sean Hannity, produced a segment on the racist land grabs targeting property owned by European-descent minorities in South Africa. Carlson has been one of the few national media personalities willing to speak out against the official racism of that nation's extremist regime, which has now started stealing land from persecuted minorities without compensation. After the Carlson segment, the president of the United States spoke out on social media. “I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large-scale killing of farmers,” wrote Trump on Twitter, citing Carlson's segment entitled “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.”
A spokesperson for the State Department, responding to a question, later followed up on that. “The president asked the secretary to look closely at the current state of action in South Africa related to land reform,” the spokesperson said. “This is something that has been going on for many decades, the conversation and debate about land reform there. I should mention that the expropriation of land without compensation, our position is that that would risk sending South Africa down the wrong path. We continue to encourage a peaceful and public debate about what we consider to be a very important issue and South Africans certainly do as well.” That milquetoast statement came from a U.S. State Department that was earlier ridiculed on national television for downplaying the ongoing travesties in South Africa because that nation supposedly has a “strong democracy.”
Immediately after the proverbial genie was released from the bottle, the establishment media began furiously lashing out at Trump, Carlson, and everybody else who dared to notice what was happening. The attacks had three primary themes. The first: racist, racist, Nazi, white nationalist, white supremacy, racist, racist, racist. The second: It is OK for the regime to steal property from descendants of Europeans because some of their ancestors might have stolen some land at some point in the distant past. For the most part, this argument is a blatant lie, and even a cursory analysis of history and data proves it. The third line of attack was that there is essentially no large-scale killing of farmers. This, too, is easily disproven: Even the most brazenly pro-regime sources in South Africa acknowledge that South Africa's police statistics, which are relied upon by the agricultural union mostly quoted in the press, are deliberately manipulated.
In fact, in the 2017 to 2018 period, a recent analysis by South African news service PoliticsWeb proved the point. For its analysis, the South African researchers compared the number of farm murders reported by the South African Police Service (SAPS) in certain provinces to the numbers of farm murders reported in the news in those same provinces. What they found was that there were significantly more farm murders reported in the press than by the police. This is in part, no doubt, because the South African police often falsely classify the gruesome murders as “robberies” or “accidents,” artificially keeping down the numbers. Anecdotes from crime-scene clean-up crews tell a similar story about the scale of the atrocities. Data from the Transvaal Agricultural Union (TAU) also show an increase in violent attacks against farmers.
And any safety for farmers has not come from government aid but because farmers are increasingly well prepared to defend their homes and their families from the oftentimes unimaginably barbaric attacks, which include the savage torture and murder of babies and elderly people. There is also the fact that the number of commercial farmers today is half of what it was 15 years ago, as more and more throw in the towel and ditch what is widely considered to be the most dangerous profession in the world — being a South African commercial farmer. While the murder rate in South Africa is already among the highest on the planet, the rate for farmers is estimated to be three or more times higher than for average South Africans, and 20 times higher than the rate for people worldwide. For perspective, the data suggests that a South African farmer is more likely to be killed than a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan or Iraq. But as long as the South African government can claim it is just regular “crime,” much of the “fake news” Western press is happy to parrot the lies.
Countless establishment propaganda organs blatantly misled their readers and viewers. For instance, on the “land issue,” as it is known, virtually every “mainstream” media organ parroted variations of easily discredited falsehoods. Over and over again, readers of globalist propaganda masquerading as “news” were told that evil white racists own almost three-fourths of the land in South Africa. But of course, that is easily proven false with the government's own data. It turns out that European-descent farmers own slightly more than 20 percent of the land — less than the government already owns! And even that number is misleading because most of the land owned by white African farmers is in the desert West of the country that is too dry for much productive agriculture and where black people never lived in significant numbers until long after it was settled by European-descent Africans who began arriving in the 1600s.
Typical of the media's response was the faux outrage from the New York Times, which recently hired a racist who boasted publicly of the joy it brings her to be cruel to elderly white people whose skin color she hates. “Statistics vary, but what is clear is that whites, who are less than 10 percent of the population, continue to own more than two-thirds of the land,” claimed the Times editorial board in a demonstrably false statement. “Mr. Trump’s tweet, and the Fox show on which it was based, were bereft of any context, sympathy or understanding. They pounced, instead, on the false narratives of right-wing white South African groups claiming widespread seizures of white-owned land and a continuing 'white genocide.'”
Perhaps the most unhinged response, really a temper tantrum, to the newfound attention on South Africa came from Jennifer Williams of the far-left Vox.com, which has a history of blatantly lying to readers (including about the organization that publishes this magazine) and refusing to correct the record. In her racist propaganda piece, Williams suggests that Trump is somehow a racist, Nazi, white nationalist trying to distract from his alleged legal troubles by spreading Nazi racist conspiracy theories. She refers to the undeniable racist campaign against minorities in South Africa as a “virulent, racist conspiracy theory.” And then, in what may also be one of the most bizarre statements ever made when referring to the potential for a looming genocide, the far-left propagandist concluded with this: “Whether or not it’s actually true is irrelevant.” The “it” in that sentence refers to the government-backed torture and slaughter of innocent people, including babies and elderly women, based only on nothing but their skin color. To Williams and other enablers of genocide such as her, whether that is true or not — is irrelevant.
In South Africa, the ruling establishment, which came to power with help from U.S. Deep State globalists and mass-murdering Soviet and Chinese communists, was similarly apoplectic that Trump dared to point out reality. “The government of South Africa wishes to caution against alarmist, false, inaccurate and misinformed, as well as — in some cases — politically motivated statements that do not reflect the policies and intentions of the South African government,” the regime said in an official statement. On Twitter, it added: “South Africa totally rejects this narrow perception which only seeks to divide our nation and reminds us of our colonial past.” Of course, what the regime did not mention is that when the descendants of Europeans voted to surrender political power, it was with the explicit agreement that property rights and minorities would be respected. The government's response also did not mention that many of its own leaders have been openly singing genocide songs for decades. Nor did it point out that the regime — an alliance of the Communist Party and the communist-controlled ANC — officially announced the start of the “Radical Second Phase” of its communist revolution in 2014.
Also lashing out at Trump and America was genocidal Marxist-Leninist Julius Malema, the former head of the African National Congress Youth League, who now runs the even more radical Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), the nation's third largest party. “We want to send a strong message to the USA authorities‚ just like we did to the Australian authorities: Stay out of South Africa’s domestic affairs,” warned the obscenely wealthy Malema, who loves to threaten genocide against minority communities with a grin on his face. “We must put it on record‚ unequivocally‚ [to] Donald ‘the pathological liar’ Trump: We are not scared of you and your USA or Western imperialist forces.” He also responded by claiming that “Jews” were teaching white people how to use sniper rifles to defend themselves against attackers — attacks that he cryptically suggested in public he may be helping to organize. You can watch Malema singing genocide songs advocating mass-murder against Afrikaner Boer farmers here:
South African Communist Party leader Nelson Mandela's grandson, whose claim to fame is being related to the late terror leader, sounded equally unbalanced as he spewed vitriol against Trump. “Once again‚ the United States leadership is on the wrong side of history and‚ like his predecessor President Ronald Reagan who openly supported the brutal apartheid regime‚ Trump chooses to be prescriptive by putting the parochial interest of the minority who benefited from the heinous apartheid system above those of the majority of South Africa’s populace‚” Mandela fumed in a factually challenged screed, as if the majority of South Africans would benefit from communist tyranny. “Trump once again demonstrates a total ignorance of reality. We will not be dictated to‚ threatened or pressured into accepting a land deal that perpetuates the injustices of the past. The same Trump that wants to dictate to South Africa what to do about the land question‚ has no scruples in legitimizing the land grabs in occupied Palestine and affirming Jerusalem as the capital city of Apartheid Israel despite its status under international law.”
The globalist establishment and its racist South African allies threw a similar fit when Australian Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton pointed out the tragedy afflicting South African minorities and vowed to help the embattled farmers by expediting their refugee applications. “If you look at the footage and read the stories, you hear the accounts, it’s a horrific circumstance they face,” Dutton said, referring to European-descent farmers in South Africa known as Boers. “I do think, on the information that I’ve seen, people do need help and they need help from a civilized country like ours. The people we’re talking about want to work hard, they want to contribute to a country like Australia. We want people who want to come here, abide by our laws, integrate into our society, work hard, not lead a life on welfare. And I think these people deserve special attention and we’re certainly applying that special attention now.” For expressing concern for victims of the most horrifying crimes imaginable, Dutton was smeared by the South African regime as a racist.
In a follow-up segment to his report on the South African regime's racist land grabs, Carlson addressed the temper tantrum of his critics. “In an Orwellian turn, various news outlets suggested it was somehow racist to oppose the racist policies of the South African government,” Carlson explained before showing a clip of race-hustler Al Sharpton claiming that it was “neo-Nazi propaganda” to suggest white farmers in South Africa were being murdered for being white. Speaking of the regime's ongoing land heists, Carlson continued: “Everyone in the country understands what these are. They are racial attacks.” Even more ominous than what the “corrupt and incompetent” South African regime is doing, though, is how America's self-styled elites have embraced collective punishment and racism.
South Africa’s president insists that the on-going seizure of white-owned farms “is no land grab” as his government falls under international scrutiny for what many see as a violation of private property rights.
President Cyril Ramaphosa defends what he calls “accelerated land reform” as a solution to “narrow gaps in income” and “severe inequality between black and white South Africans,” in his op-ed for the Financial Times.
Despite admitting the ruling African National Congress “recently resolved to propose a constitutional amendment that would make explicit the conditions under which land could justifiably be expropriated without compensation,” Ramaphosa claims the pursuance of such a course would actually reinforce rights for all South Africans.
“This is no land grab. Nor is it an assault on the private ownership of property,” Ramaphosa writes. “The proposals will not erode property rights, but will instead ensure that the rights of all South Africans, and not just those who currently own land, are strengthened. South Africa has learned from the experiences of other countries, both from what has worked and what has not, and will not make the same mistakes that others have made.”
“The proposal on expropriation without compensation is one element of a broader programme of land reform that seeks to ensure that all citizens can have their land rights recognized, whether they live in communal areas, informal settlements or on commercial farms.”
“Land reform in South Africa is a moral, social and economic imperative,” Ramaphosa concludes. “By bringing more land into productive use, by giving more South Africans assets and opportunities for sustainable livelihoods, the country is creating conditions for greater, more inclusive and more meaningful growth.”
In contrast to Ramaphosa’s defense of land seizure, the rhetoric of EFF leader Julius Malema – whom some believe to be the true driving force behind the shift in government policy – is decidedly more direct and brazen.
“Through land expropriation, we are forcing white people to share the land which was gained through a crime against the humanity of black and African people,” Malema said in a press conference last week. “We are not going to be distracted by anyone. Only death will stop us. Not Trump, not poverty, not sanctions… We know the consequences of what we are asking for.”
Residents of South Africa are creating videos backing up US President Donald Trump’s claims that white farmers in South Africa are being murdered.
In riveting firsthand testimony uploaded to Twitter Monday, several South Africans pushed back against the mainstream media, testifying violence against whites is on the rise.
Danie Barnard, 32, a South African citizen, on Monday thanked President Trump for bringing attention to the issue and said he faces constant violence in the region.
“As you all may know, President Trump last week Wednesday made a tweet about what is going on in South Africa and there was a lot of backlash from the fake news mainstream media, especially in the United States,” Barnard said, going on to say his grandfather was murdered on his farm.
“As a South African boer I can tell you guys that it is 100% correct what Mr. Trump said in his tweet.”
“We do not try to spread any false information, nor are we right wing extremists, or Nazis as they are calling us. We are only citizens that are fearing for our lives because we live in a very violent society in South Africa. And it is true. It’s not only the white South Africans but also the black South Africans, but the big difference here is our government actually encourages violence towards whites and endorses it…”
Here’s a video example of one chant mentioned by Barnard, in which South Africans call for killing whites.
“All we’re asking is for you guys to do the research. Find out for yourselves. Don’t believe the media. They are lying. They are trying to cover it up, but unfortunately, it’s true. People are dying every day in South Africa because of racial hate toward white people,” Jacques documented.
In another video a woman thanks Trump for calling attention to the dire situation, saying she’s been the victim of an armed robbery and carries a knife as a defensive measure.
“Mainstream media, I dare you to quote me on this,” she adds.
President Trump faced criticism after he tweeted last week he would have Secretary of State Mike Pompeo look into the “large scale killing of farmers.”
I have asked Secretary of State @SecPompeo to closely study the South Africa land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers. “South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers.” @TuckerCarlson@FoxNews
“South African Government is now seizing land from white farmers,” the president wrote in his tweet, citing a Fox News report.
Following the tweet, the South African government issued a statement saying Trump’s perception of the issue was “based on false information.”
“South Africa totally rejects this narrow perception which only seeks to divide our nation and reminds us of our colonial past,” the government wrote in a tweet. “South Africa will speed up the pace of land reform in a careful and inclusive manner that does not divide our nation.”
On Monday South African Minister for International Relations and Cooperation Lindiwe Sisulu also slammed Trump in a CNN interview, saying it was “unfortunate” the president had “misinterpreted” the government’s goal of compulsory land redistribution.
Also on Monday, South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa claimed the confiscation of white-owned farms “is no land grab” in a Financial Times op-ed, while going on to admit the African National Congress “recently resolved to propose a constitutional amendment that would make explicit the conditions under which land could justifiably be expropriated without compensation.”
