BBC'S SUMMARY

In an extraordinary Oval Office meeting, Donald Trump confronts South Africa's leader with video over discredited claims of a white genocide in South Africa

Trump says white farmers are "fleeing South Africa" and plays footage showing people chanting "kill the Boer, kill the farmer"

This is the first time we've seen this sort of ambush in the Oval Office, reports Bernd Debusmann Jr

Responding to the footage, Ramaphosa says the chants don't represent government policy

There were parallels with the infamous Zelensky meeting in the Oval Office, writes Anthony Zurcher, but Ramaphosa kept his composure

A group of 59 white South Africans recently arrived in the US, where they will be given refugee status

BBC just had to pull/disavow erroneous story on 14000 babies/children about to die in Gaza due to lack of aid.#1 in FakeNews.

It is hard to find photos of it on the Internet because the search engines censor them.

Try yandex.com. The images came up immediately.

This search engine does not use google algorithms unlike duckduckgo.com, so you get a cleaner search on political and medical matters.

I recalled something the other day, back from the 80s. It was done by “Spitting Image” the leftist British show that used puppets to mock everyone.

Western media made out the Afrikaaners to be the worst people on the planet. I swear if there was a version of “Der Stuermer” that had Afrikaaners as the target rather than Jews, the left would have loved it.

They say the law is “redressing the balance after appartheid”

In the presser the union gal said this was happening and people were paid over market value. I missed if these were sales by willing sellers or takings.

Of course the official mouthpiece of Mediocre Britain labels it “discredited.” Heaven forbid any of the consequences of their f’d up colonial and foreign policy be broadcast unchallenged to the unwashed masses.

I know it's Russian but it does not block things like the cross memorials for dead Boer farmers. It also does not block alternative medicine sites or steer you to the legacy media web sites for news stories. There are some observers like J.R. Nyquist and Trevor Loudon who believe Russian intelligence is attempting to manipulate the American and European right to focus on our Deep State and away from Russian and Chinese activities against the Western nations. They may be right but until I discovered yandex.com, I found other search engines, even ones like Brave and Duckduckgo that promise privacy on searches, to more or less replicate the pro-mainstream narrative propaganda Google searches.

The basic problem is that the BBC and other left-wing “news” organizations simply won’t report all the problems that are happening in South Africa, including rampant violent crime, sky-high unemployment, and widespread corruption. They think they are helping South Africa by censoring the news about these pathologies, but they are not.

Just as they didn’t report on all the famines in the Soviet Union.

Why do they say it's discredited?

Don't take this the wrong way, but do you have any idea who we are dealing with?

The BBC's propaganda is not any different than Nazi or Soviet propaganda.

Britain under Keir Starmer is totalitarian state.

yeah most of the so-called alternative search engines use either the google or bing API ... so yandex is a good resource when one knows google/bing are likely lying and hiding ...
