I am pretty surprised that there hasn't already been a guerilla war against the Commies. I guess one reason is if they won, then the whole world would make war against them.

The following is a comment on the recent bombings in South Africa.

"First of all – that it is the rightwing that is responsible for the bombings is highly speculative – but one of the most likely possibilities. If it was the rightwing that was responsible for the bombings, then a new era has started in South Africa. It will be an era where pockets of the white Afrikaans people are becoming militant.

This alone deserves serious consideration. For the past decades the white Afrikaans community was mostly passive in their objections to the NP government’s decline and eventual handover to the ANC led government. The Afrikaner is a minority in South Africa – not even 10% of the total population. Masses of the Afrikaners have moved overseas in what is called in some circles the Afrikaner Diaspora. London is rumored to have an Afrikaner population of over 300,000. The numbers of Afrikaners that has left for Australia – and in particular Perth – has caused the area to be satirically referred to as one of the South African provinces. The Afrikaans speaking in London and some other major cities in the world has increased in numbers so much that Afrikaans cultural festivals have been organized there with great success.

In Canada some areas have not seen a Canadian doctor in over six years. Medical doctors from South Africa – mostly Afrikaans immigrated to Canada in such numbers that the South African government demanded compensation.

The question must be asked then – why does Afrikaners feel so alienated in their country of birth that they move to other countries? And what is the reaction of those who are not willing to make the leap to leave the country?"

FWIW, South Africans, in particular South African Jews, have been getting while the getting was good, to Atlanta, for 20 years+.

When we bought our first house, we because good friends with our across the street neighbors, who were Jewish. We joked that we were the token gentiles at Yom Kippur breakfast. Through our neighbors, we met quite a number of Jews from South Africa, and came to understand there was quite a number of them in Atlanta.

A business associate at that time told me that he knew quite a few Jews who had bailed from South Africa. They lived in the same apartments as he, when he first moved to Atlanta.

Some years later, I ended up with a project manager who was a Jewish South African emigre, who confirmed these earlier experiences.

Some folks smell the wind early.
