Donald Trump Welcomes Afrikaner Refugees

I have been around for a long time.

I’m old enough to remember the mainstreamers vs. vanguardists debate which was sparked by Leonard Zeskind, author of Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement from the Margins to the Mainstream, who quietly died last month at the age of 75. The book came out in 2009 when Obama was president and Glenn Beck was seen as an edgy radical in the Tea Party.

BBC:

“A group of 59 white South Africans has arrived in the US, where they are to be granted refugee status.

President Donald Trump has said the refugee applications for the country’s Afrikaner minority had been expedited as they were victims of “racial discrimination”. …”

Zeskind has been on my mind lately.

He saw growing mainstream acceptance of White Nationalism. I couldn’t see it at the time. I wasn’t old enough to remember what it was like in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.

Contrast the two big news stories of the day. On the one hand, you have President Trump condemning White genocide in South Africa and the State Department throwing out the welcome mat for Afrikaner refugees while otherwise shutting down the refugee program. On the other hand, you have fringe activists prostrating themselves before their black fuhrer Yedolf because he “named the Jew.”

For several decades, White Nationalists were in the political wilderness and there was a spirited debate about these two approaches, but those days are now over. There is no longer any question that White Nationalists are capable of influencing mainstream politics, winning over a large swath of White America and pushing previously radical ideas into public policy. This was a pipe dream a few years ago. It was an issue that only we talked about with people like Simon Roche at conferences and podcasts.

The mainstreamers are no longer frozen out of rightwing politics. That door has abruptly swung open in Trump’s second term as the Boomers cycle out of politics. The old barriers to entry have severely eroded and collapsed in the Trump era. Sure, the vanguardists are still clowning themselves and the movement over and over again, but the difference is that they have lost their strongest argument.

    • This is true of the liberal clergy, but even mainline Protestants support Trump’s agenda on immigration and refugee resettlement. Episcopalians are the least supportive of all Protestant denominations, but it still something like 45% of them.

    • Thanks, November, for mentioning this.
      Yes, the Episcopal Chirch of Satan is our enemy.
      Do you recall, when Trump and Vance went to the National cathedral and we’re berated by a female bishop over immigration? Same satanic crew. The good bishop didn’t mention that her church received 55 million dollars a year of tax money to resettle our replacements.

    • .. and folks sometimes wonder why I make a hand-gesture of the Devil’s horns whenever I pass an Episcopalian “church”. They really do need to get rid of the crosses (or just invert them) and put up altars to Baphomet instead. A miserable assembly of dyke-witches and poofters wholly devoted to Satan or the four-letter “diety” NGGR.

  2. The vanguardists are right to swear off society as useless but wrong on the Jewish Question. The problem though is that if you think most White people are scum, then it makes sense not to be pro-White. Which is basically where I am now – anti everyone.

    • Society is just slow.

      Culture doesn’t change at the speed vanguardists want. So they embrace self destructive, sociopathic behavior out of spite and emotional impatience.

      • >> Society is just slow.

        Yes, Dangerously and deadly slow.

        >> they embrace self destructive, sociopathic behavior out of spite and emotional impatience.

        Very accurate and succinct observation.

  3. I am glad that the Afrikaners have a place of refuge here, and we will gladly accept the entire Afrikaner nation into our country if necessary. I am sure they would assimilate into America better than any other immigrant group which has ever arrived.

    But it is heartbreaking that they’ve lost their homeland.

    If they cease to be a distinct people with a country of their own, all of humanity will suffer a loss. “Ask not for whom the bell tolls . . .”

    Hopefully Orania will become the nucleus for a viable Afrikaner ethno-state, with sufficient arable land, fresh water, mineral resources and access to the sea.

  4. U are clearly a masonic communist!!
    Racists…
    Against their own… christianity is cultural and global politici-economic communism… ie. Judeao-masoni-chris-lamic Zionism…

    “Conclusion.
    In order to satisfactorily bring all of the seemingly disparate aspects of this study together, a common element has been considered – economics. In order to demonstrate
    the way in which this can be applied to Dtr (the Deuteronomists), this thesis has outlined the many aspects contributing to Dtr’s changes in religious policy. The first chapter has therefore attempted to shed further light on the possible identity of Dtr, placing them within a viable historical context, outlining the themes which can be identified as common to their theologies, and linking them to the Levitical priesthood as part of a wider faction or movement focused on a reform of centralisation. (le. Central planning and the Temple priests owns everything communism)
    The way in which the identity ‘Israel’ was forged by Dtr, as distinct from the
    ‘other’ which was, primarily, the ‘Canaanites’. Such rhetorical measures as Dtr were compelled to take were supported by the changes to law which they instigated, increasing penalties for polycentric polytheism in order to advance the aniconistic aspects of their reforms.
    This served to aid in the elimination of external places of worship, enabling a centralisation
    of bureaucracy, and thus also finance, in the Jerusalem Temple..

    • I’m letting this through the filter as an example of the sort of cranks who I want nothing to do with and who are an embarrassment and albatross for the White Nationalist movement and an obstacle that must be overcome for anyone who wants a pro-White sensibility to succeed in politics.

  5. Not surprisingly, the usual suspects are going out of their minds over this. They love refugees, unless the refugees are White. The mask of humanitarian pretense is off.

  6. As you can see, the left don’t like all refugees, hence my hatred for them (the left).
    I stopped following the South African situation years ago as it was upsetting me, and I couldn’t do anything about it, anyway.
    But now, this is great news. Let’s hope the trickle becomes a flood. but…..let’s see how many end up arriving. For those who insist on remaining, do so at your own risk.

    • >> South African situation years ago as it was upsetting me.

      Boy, do I know that feeling, but I persisted in following it closely. Just bit my lip and endured.

      For those interested,
      Historyreviewed.com has good content.

      • @United,
        The minute a white, prosperous breakaway state is born, every nog will be banging it’s doors down to get in. It would be the Mexican border of Africa.
        I’ve always believed Africa should be emptied of white people so that it can just be run by Africans, and come what may.
        The equal ones can show the world their capabilities free of meddling.

  7. Brad, why not dig into Elon Musk? How he made his money in partnership with a notorious Republican homosexual. That would be of interest, more so than covering clowns like Fuentes and the colored boy in depth.

    It’s also claimed that Musk has gotten tons of taxpayer money—is this true?

    It may turn out that Musk is a muskrat.

  8. HW, the timing for the resettlement of Afrikaners in the U.S. and the official recognition of the ethnic cleansing campaign conducted against them in S.A. by the S.A. government should be seen as suspicious by anyone who has kept up with the ICJ proceedings against Israel. South Africa brought the complaint alleging genocide against the State of Israel in the International Court of Justice. Now, Israel is accusing its accuser, South Africa, of genocide against the Afrikaners through their agent, Donald Trump. This refugee resettlement of Afrikaners (which is convenient for Israeli PR) occurred only after the ICJ genocide complaint gained traction. The current policy of refugee resettlement for Afrikaners is a prime example of interest convergence between Zionists in Israel and the Diaspora and White Advocates. I am not denigrating the moment or the shift in the Overton window. But I am positing that this act occurred when it did as a result of interest convergence between Zionists and White advocates. This interest convergence is a real political phenomenon that should not be discounted. Orban uses this convergence of interests to defend his country’s borders from Muslim invasion. White advocates if they have any power should leverage Israel’s weaknesses for the ends of white advocacy: never the other way around. Some in the White Identity sphere make the mistake of acting as though only one issue exists, the Jewish problem, and this mistake causes them to glorify Hamas, Muslims generally, or non-white (degenerate) Hitler fans. The Jewish problem is a real problem, but it is not the only problem. (You should not discount this issue.) Nevertheless, this monomania causes the white identity movement to be seen as low status and (paradoxically) multiracial.

    • Everything goes according to what’s good for the communists. They globally rule and should not be looked at 1 dimensionally like with “the mantra” that we all know. They want you to think areas are free when they could change at any time if what’s good for them does. Enough of them backed Russia that it was able to turn to the Brics, avoid economic collapse and defeat the Ukraine.

  9. The S. African Government hasn’t wanted Afrikaners to emigrate because Whites are still in key technical positions keeping the economy, such as it is, running. Although the electric grid is in dire straits Eskom, the State electric utility, is still able to generate and distribute about %57 of its capacity. There are regular rotating blackouts of course and frequent unplanned failures too.

    If the White engineers and managers left, what remains of the S. African electric grid would immediately collapse. No more electricity with all that implies for clean water, sewage disposal, hospitals, airports, fuel distribution, banking etc. The same situation applies to other utilities, medical care, air transport etc.

    Whites provide the technical expertise to keep things going. It all goes away when the White man departs and the corrupt, stupid black rulers of S. Africa know this. Even though they hate Whites they know S. Africa will immediately become like Zimbabwe if Whites flee, especially if the farmers/ranchers leave.

    Whites should leave S. Africa en masse and let the place crumble into dust. Let’s see how well the Rainbow Nation does when it’s up to the diversity to keep the lights on, no evil Whites to interfere. Fortunately, S. Africa is about 8,000 miles away, too far to zerg rush the border and separated by the Atlantic Ocean too. Next stop on that express train to Hell: Zimbabwe redux.

    • ‘Whites should leave S. Africa en masse’

      They’ll be replaced by Chinese.
      The Chinese will colonize it has the have many African countries, they need the minerals. Their colonization will be slow, powerful and pervasive.

  10. These are the sort of folks I’m glad to see coming to the USA. I know they’ll be contributing to society by working, starting a business, etc. and I wouldn’t have to be afraid walking past them at night.

  11. Good for them but I hope this is more than just a photo op for Trump. 59 is a drop in the giant bucket of feces every white country has been taking in yearly. Bring in 5000.

  12. Read one that it is about race not humanity.
    Which we all knew.
    The Magic Soil works for everyone or not at all, comrade.
    AOC/Barnie Sandlers 2028, a free rubber chicken in every bag of pot.

  13. Positive news in that the govt is at least recognizing the genocide of the Afrikaners. Although, I wonder why these people did not go to Orania? In some ways the Afrikaners have it better than us because they have a little ethno-state in the making. There are many tens of millions more of us here, but we have nothing, sadly. It is inexcusable that we have permitted these circumstances, but hopefully we can remedy forthwith.

    • I think that Orania is vastly over-rated by most White Nationalists. It is a small settlement; somewhat isolated, and is only existing for now at the whims of the black majority. Of course the refugees should be welcomed in the U.S. However, it represents a major defeat for White South Africans, as they are losing the homeland they built on their blood, sweat and tears. To hear nationalists from that country speak, they do not want to leave what is rightly theirs. They would rather Trump pressure the government to stop land expropriation.

  14. Leftist defectives are not happy with this at all. They prefer millions of turd colored people to come in and destroy civilization.
