As soon as the meeting between South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and U.S. President Donald Trump ended, the far-left Mainstream Media Bugbrain signaled its hive: Say that Trump “ambushed” Ramaphosa with “false claims” about genocide.
There followed more than 10 headlines with “ambush” and almost 20 with “false claims.”
Of course, the “claims” are not “false,” as The New American’s Alex Newman reported yesterday. The anti-white genocide in South Africa is at least 20 years old.
The Meeting
The “ambush” began when Trump showed video of crazed South African Julius Malema, leader of South Africa’s communist Economic Freedom Fighters, leading a crowd in a chant of “Shoot to kill … Kill the Boer, Kill the farmer.”
Malema has also said that blacks “must never be scared to kill.”
The South African president has signed legislation to expropriate property from whites “equitable and in the public interest.”
Ramaphosa and his delegation sat in silence as the video played. It included scenes of white crosses that represented the murdered farmers. Trump also showed him photos of the victims.
“Now this is very bad. These are burial sites right here. Burial sites — over a thousand — of White farmers,” Trump said:
And those cars are lined up to pay love on a Sunday morning. Each one of those white things you see is a cross. And there is approximately a thousand of them. They’re all White farmers. The family of White farmers. And those cars aren’t, driving, they are stopped there to pay respects to their family member who was killed. And it’s a terrible sight. I’ve never seen anything like it. On both sides of the road, you have crosses. Those people are all killed.”
Replied Ramaphosa, “Have they told you where that is, Mr. President? I’d like to know where that is. Because this I’ve never seen.”
Trump: I mean, it’s in South Africa, that’s where.
Ramaphosa: We need to find out.
Remarkably Similar Headlines
The anti-white, far-left Mainstream Media swarmed. The insectivorous message was clear. Bash Trump, and all must use the same language.
Thus did Libs of TikTok curate the remarkably similar language the members of the colony published.
“Trump Lectures South African President in Televised Oval Office Ambush,” The New York Times reported, with “ambush” apparently stealth-edited to “confrontation.” No matter, the Times also offered this: “Trump Ambushes South African President With Video of False Claims: What to Know.”
Other ambush headlines included these:
CNN: Trump ambushes South African president in Oval Office with video;
NPR: Trump ambushes South Africa’s president with false claims of ‘white genocide;’ and,
The Telegraph: Trump ambushes South African president with footage of ‘white persecution.’
Those are just five of the many headlines Libs of TikTok assembled in a collage.
The X feed also offered myriad headlines with “false claims,” some of which included “ambushes,” like NPR and The New York Times:
Reuters: Trump confronts Ramaphosa with false genocide claims, and Trump confronts South Africa’s Ramaphosa with false claims of white genocide;
The Guardian: Trump ambushes South African president with video and false claims of anti-white racism.
The Claims Aren’t “False”
Whether or not Trump “ambushed” Ramaphosa, the claims aren’t “false.”
Again, as The New American’s Newman reported, the genocidal rampage is more than two decades old.
Genocide Watch reported that “there is direct evidence of SA [South African] government incitement to genocide,” Newman observed, and some 3,000 white farmers were murdered between 2002 and 2012.
“It is worse than ‘regular’ murder, though,” Newman wrote:
Many of the victims, including the elderly, women, children, and even infants, are raped or savagely tortured or both before being executed or left for dead. Sometimes boiling water is poured down their throats or they are filled with holes using electric drills. Other attacks involve burning victims with hot irons or slicing them up with machetes. In more than a few cases, the targets have been tied to their own cars and dragged along dirt roads for miles. Oftentimes, Bible pages or Bibles are left on the desecrated bodies.
That slaughter, along with the law permitting the state-sanctioned theft of white-owned farms, is the reason Trump ended aid to South Africa in February.
“In shocking disregard of its citizens’ rights, the Republic of South Africa … recently enacted Expropriation Act 13 of 2024 … to enable the government of South Africa to seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation,” Trump wrote:
This Act follows countless government policies designed to dismantle equal opportunity in employment, education, and business, and hateful rhetoric and government actions fueling disproportionate violence against racially disfavored landowners. In addition, South Africa has taken aggressive positions towards the United States and its allies, including accusing Israel, not Hamas, of genocide in the International Court of Justice, and reinvigorating its relations with Iran to develop commercial, military, and nuclear arrangements.
Thus did Trump grant refugee status to 59 Afrikaners — white South Africans of Dutch ancestry — who landed in the United States on May 12.
The media and its Democratic talkers were none too happy about that, either. Example: Rick Stengel, former under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs.
“It’s so deeply and morally wrong-headed and repulsive,” he said on Democrat-run MSNBC:
These are the descendants of the people who created the most diabolical system of white supremacy in human history — apartheid. They’re not directly responsible for it, but it was a system that actually moved black people off of the arable land. So they inherited the land that black people had to give up. It was called forced removal, something called a Bantustan policy, where they moved black people out of the cities and farmlands into these remote areas with non-arable land.
Stengel was particularly incensed that the Afrikaners are “held up as these white Christians who are being dispossessed of their land” because “there’s no injustice here.”
He could tell that to farmer Theo Bekker but can’t because Bekker was murdered in 2022. “Bekker was bludgeoned over the head with an iron bar,” The Spectator reported:
His throat was slit and he bled to death. Bekker’s wife, Marlinda, was tied up and had a bag pulled over her head. Even when victims survive — as Marlinda did — the level of violence in these attacks can be ferocious. Torture and rape are common. Afrikaans Bibles have been left open on dismembered bodies.
