WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

[Kindly note how President Nujoma, who at best can be described as a moron’s moron, is launching vitriolic attacks on the “racist” farmers… almost daily. Normally when these Marxist bastards are out to screw you… the turn up the rhetoric like this. They tell all sorts of lies because they need to lay the logical basis for the dastardly low-down deed which they have already decided long before-hand to perform.
These guys are obviously out to screw the White Farmers… but first they need to pretend that the whites are unco-operative, racist, spiteful, etc (when in fact, as this story shows the whites are the opposite – they are law-abiding, trying to negotiate, crawl on their bellies, etc). But Nujoma has to now PRETEND that they are rebellious, trouble-some, spiteful, etc – so he can nail them in other ways…
One would have thought the Farmers would have learned from Zimbabwe what their fate is going to be. Of course… whites in Africa try desperately to be optimistic even when it is blatantly obvious that there is none. Whites should just start accepting a simple fact: These Black Dictatorships of ours are our SWORN ENEMIES WHO WILL STAB US IN THE BACK AND CONTINUALLY SCREW US UNTIL WE’RE DESTROYED. Accept this, and move on. Realise for yourself that we CANNOT CO-EXIST. Its either us or them.
Sad. It will be very sad watching the 4,500 farmers in Namibia being destroyed too. Jan]
Namibia’s white farmers are hopeful of a negotiated solution to a crisis over land reform despite recent moves by the government to expropriate farms and hand them over to blacks.
The Namibia Agricultural Union (NAU) has been trying to resolve the tangle with President Sam Nujoma’s government, which in the middle of May served notices on 15 white farmers giving them 14 days to offer their land for sale to the state.
The move raised concerns that Namibia may follow the path of Zimbabwe where thousands of white farmers were forced to give up their land to new black owners, often without farming experience, with disastrous consequences for the economy.
In an interview, NAU leader Jan de Wet said the 14-day notice was bound to cause trouble.
“To give [a farmer] 14 days for such a decision, which for some cases is going to change their whole life, is very short notice,” said de Wet (77).
“We want to prevent court cases, try to find a consensus and not destabilise the country,” he said.
“Court cases are not a solution … Negotiations and consensus are the only way,” he said, adding: “Agricultural production is very important to this country because 75% of our people are dependent on agriculture.”
De Wet, a former MP when Namibia, then called South West Africa, was under apartheid South African rule, evoked several “grey areas” in the government’s plans to expropriate land, including a lack of “clear, transparent criteria” and compensation.
“What criteria is going to be used to expropriate in [the] national interest?” he said, evoking a term used by Land Minister Hifikepunye Pohamba to justify the acceleration of the expropriation process.
“The other grey area is just compensation. What does just compensation mean? There must be a criteria to determine what is a market price,” he said.
The government has repeatedly stressed that land reform will be carried out within the context of the law, that just compensation will be paid and that the move is necessary as most of Namibia’s arable land is in white hands.
The NAU has asked Windhoek to extend the deadline and that negotiations be opened on a document compiled by experts proposing guidelines to land reform.
The document is to be presented to the lands minister next month.
The deadline in the government notices issued to farmers expired on Monday and the NAU has not received any response on its plea for discussions based on the expert recommendations.
But De Wet said he was optimistic about prospects for a negotiated settlement, saying Prime Minister Theo Ben Gurirab had himself pledged to allow the NAU to submit its proposals and to examine them carefully.
“At this stage my total hope is still on government, that they would give us the extension and that we can sit down and consult. I don’t panic because you cannot address critical issues like this with emotion.”
Namibia, a former German colony that came under South African rule until its independence in 1990, has been ruled since then by President Sam Nujoma, who has sent strong signals on the land issue.
Nujoma told a May Day rally that a few “racist farmers” were firing their workers and leaving them homeless.
“It is a slap in the face of my government and it will not be allowed! My government will expropriate such land as an answer to this insult,” Nujoma said. — Sapa-AFP
