The Boer War: How

The Jews Seized

South Africa

At the turn of the 19th century there occurred a war so devastating in its

consequences that the world is still feeling its effect. Perhaps the most

important result of the war is that the Jews gained control of the richest

gold deposits known to mankind, along with a diversity of minerals

seldom found in one country; all of which are of the greatest importance

to the West today. The purpose of this article is to summarize the causes

of the war, who was behind it, and what their motives were.

The Anglo-Boer War is not a well known event in the annuals of history.

Indeed, it is safe to say that it is a war which was swept under the carpet.

I doubt whether it is a subject which is ever mentioned in the classrooms

of U.S. schools and universities. This is no accident, but deliberate policy.

We need to look at the character and racial make up of the “Boers” as they

were called in the early part of the history of what is today South Africa.

The Boers were farmers; the racial make up of the Boer was not very

different from that of the people of the southern United States.

These pastoral people had a very strong sense of personal liberty as

opposed to the dictates of a central government. Coupled with their

highly developed concept of personal freedom was their religious belief,

consisting in the main of Protestant Calvinism, formalized in the Dutch

Reformed Church. They believed in the leadership of the white race, and

treated all of the coloured races in South Africa with benign paternalism.

They held to the teachings of the Old Testament namely that the stewardship

of the earth belonged to the white race. Coloured races were to be

( 3 )

treated as stepchildren. They did not believe in, nor did they practice

slavery at any time in their history. This is where the Boers differed from

their cousins, the American colonists.

With the annexation of the Cape of Good Hope by the British, which was

to take over the Cape as a half way station for the British East India

Company, the Boers decided to move into the deserted hinterland of

South Africa rather than submit to British rule. It should be noted here,

that while the British East India Company was ostensibly a normal

trading company dealing in spices and tea in the Far East, it was in fact,

along with the Dutch East India Company, the vehicle by which the

profits from the opium trade in China were moved to England, and to a

lesser extent to Holland. It is a fact which is overlooked by most historians;

that the profits from the Chinese opium trade made possible the

active promotion of hostilities against the Boers. In fact, the tone for

action against the Boers was set: by the Treaty of Nanking, signed in

1842, which brought the British a vast fortune as well as the port of Hong

Kong, which to this day is the hub of dope distribution by the Chinese and

the British. Lord Palmerston (1830-1865) openly admitted Britain’s role

in the dope trade in China in a speech which he made in January 1841.

It is necessary to digress for a moment, and deal with the famous infrastructure

the British opium trade in China by establishing the Hong Kong

and Shanghai Bank, the door was opened for British imperialism at its

worst to sweep through China. Similarly, by establishing what was called

“suzerainty” over the Boer Republics. The British showed that the imperialistic

lesson they had learned in China could be equally profitably

applied in South Africa, only this time, it was gold, not opium, which was

the rich prize to be captured. Let none imagine that the British fought a

gentlemanly war against the Boers. In fact, the Boers, rough hewn as they

were, were, the ones who displayed most of the old world courtesy

toward their adversaries as we shall see. I say this because at the time the

war was promoted by the British, they enjoyed a high reputation as a

nation, of gentlemen of good conduct and sportsmanship, a reputation

richly deserved as events in South Africa showed all too clearly.

( 4 )

The initial onslaught against the Boers took place a few years earlier, in

which the British were soundly defeated. The place was Majuba, the time

1881. Earlier, the British had annexed the Transvaal, an arbitrary action

without legal standing. The Boers, who had come thousands of miles

through a countryside which was anything but hospitable, fought back,

and at Majuba, under the leadership of the great Boer patriot Paul Kruger,

(the Krugerrand is named after him), soundly defeated the British. This

ought to have acted as a warning to the British imperialistic designs;

‘instead, it encouraged them to blunder into an even greater act of aggression,

the Anglo-Boer War. During the reign of Queen Victoria,

(1837-1901) Britain was at the height of its imperial power. No nation

dared cross the British monarch; even the Germans feared the lady Paul

Kruger called a “kwaai vrou” (an angry lady). Thus Majuba was an insult

to be wiped off the record. But we must look behind the scenes to see who

was responsible. The ordinary British citizen knew little of the backroom

politics, which sent its men folk off to fight a war in faraway South

Africa. Then as now, propaganda played a leading role. The big drum of

patriotism was banged, however patriotism was not an issue, but outright

greed by the Jews certainly was. Disregarding the warning of Majuba, the

British were told that their military machine would crush the citizen army

of the Boer farmers and return triumphant to the shores of England in a

matter of a few weeks.

War is costly. This was no less true in 1899 than it is today. The money

to prosecute the war against the Boer rebels was to come from the swollen

coffers of the opium traders, which meant that some of the most famous

and noble names of England would be involved. The opium trade had

made millions for the Keswicks, the Jardine Mathesons, the Barines, and

the Suthertands. The same names featured prominently in the fortunes

made through slave trading in the U.S. prior to the War Between the

States (the Civil War). The Southerland family was one of the largest

slave traders in the Americas, and you can add to the list, the Lehmans

and the Rothschilds, who entered the U.S. scene via the slave trade. As in

the case of the opium war against China, the willingness of Her Majesty’s

government to use all of its resources to crush the Boers, up to and

including full scale war, to support it’s false claims to the Transvaal gold

was evident at an early stage of the conspiracy. As in the case of the war

( 5 )

on China, the British used ethnic origin and background as a weapon to

promote unrest in the independent Boer Republics of the Transvaal and

the Orange Free State. Following the discovery of gold in the Transvaal,

a steady stream of “uitlanders” (foreigners) flocked to the Transvaal. It

was not long before the model of the Scottish Rite Freemason movement

used in China was also put to good use by the British in South Africa. As

in China, the mix was Italians, Jews, and of course, local Chinese.

During the life and after his death the dirty tricks operations of Lord

Palmerton’s China gang of ethnic Jews, the Order of the Zion of the

London based “Court Jews” was put to work in South Africa to foment

unrest and to demand “voting rights” and a voice in government; something

the vastly outnumbered Boers could not permit. The Jewish families

that today rule the gold trade, such as the Mocattos, the Monefiores,

the whole slew of well known Jewish names, learned their dirty tricks,

lessons in the pre-war days of the Boer Republics in South Africa. The

self same dirty tricks were used against the U.S. many years later in the

Vietnam era. In fact, Queen Victoria’s “favourite Jew was Sir Moses

Montefiore, who took command of the British Board of Deputies (Jews)

in 1835. As we shall see, it was the Jews who fomented the unrest in the

Boer Republics, unrest which eventually led to the unjust Anglo-Boer

War. It was Montefiore who took charge of the Order of Zion, and who

trained Jews for active duty in political trouble making in South Africa,

a process which continues to this day, and one which will not cease until

the Jew has open and full control of South Africa’s vast mineral wealth.

There is ample evidence that Montefiore’s Order of Zion was also very

active in the unrest in the U.S. which preceded the War Between the

States, and which led, eventually, to the murder of Abraham Lincoln. So

there is a very definite link between American history, and that of South

Africa. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by a Jew from South Africa,

John Wilkes Booth. Real name Botha.

Like their American counterparts, the Boers had moved thousands of

miles to ensure their freedom from British control. They loved independence

more than anything else, and suffered incredible hardships in order

to establish their two republics in the Transvaal and the Orange Free

State. Like the American colonists, they opened up the vast African

( 6 )

hinterland through their blood, sweat, toil and tears. The story of the

Great Trek from the Cape is one of the most moving in the annals of

modern man in his search for individual freedom and liberty. These

hardy, God fearing Christian people carved a civilization out of the

African wilderness, in much the same way as did the American colonists.

Now, owing to the machinations of the Order of Zion, the Freemasons led

by Rhodes and Milner, and the inside planning of the two Jews in

Johannesburg, Beit and Werhner, who later became fabulously wealthy

at the expense of the Boers, the Boers were faced with a full scale war by

the most powerful army in the world at that time.

As in the case of the Chinese opium diplomacy, the same tactics were

used to stir up trouble inside the Boer Republics. The Transvaal had

gained legal independence from the British at the Sand River Convention.

The Transvaal ruled by Paul Kruger and the Volksraad (peoples council)

was a legal entity. To undo this, the Jewish agitators Belt and Werhner

were put to work under the direction of Lord Alfred Milner and Cecil

John Rhodes to overturn the independence of this small nation and grab

the gold, the richest strikes ever found, for themselves and for international

Jewry.

The foreigners, who held no voting rights, were stirred up to demand

voting rights and change in the governing constitution If this sounds

familiar, it is the self same pattern still being used around the world today,

the so called “majority rule” plot. The Jews, ever the smoldering underground

force in any country, were particularly active in the Boer Republics.

They led demonstrations and riots, protests, and petitions to Queen

Victoria. Now one might ask what right did these foreigners have to

petition the Queen of England, when the question of law and order and

voting rights rested with an independent government, that of Paul Kruger

and the Boer citizens of the Transvaal Republic. As in the case of

Palmerston and the second Chinese opium war, the British moved with

alacrity to intervene in the internal affairs of Kruger’s republic, notwithstanding

the fact that the British had given up any such rights under the

terms of the Sand River Convention. Just as Lord Russell had written to

his grandson Lord Bertrand Russell (the fiend who introduced ‘drugs’ to

the U.S. saying: “We must in some way or another make the Chinese

( 7 )

repent of the outrage.” (i.e. for daring to defend themselves against the

British opium families), so Lord Alfred Milner wrote to Rhodes and said

that the Boers must be punished for their intransigence (i.e. for refusing

to bow to Jewish agitation and British pressure to give up their legal

rights).

The same British families who opened the Hong Kong and Shanghai

Bank to facilitate the movement of drug money now set up show in

Johannesburg in order to get control of this gold, which belonged to the

Boers. The criminal conspiracy of the British cabinet which ran the

opium war now extended its influence and power through Freemasonry

to the Transvaal. Behind Prime Minister Palmerston’s fine facade of

respectability was the rotten degeneracy of British aristocracy, besotted

by the evil of high Masonry. It was only after the Military Commission

on the murder of Lincoln made its findings public that some of the sordid

details of Palmerston’s connections with the Scottish Rite Freemason

lodges became known. I mention this, to remind my renders of the strong

links between U.S. history and the Boer War, i.e. the same people ran

both the American War Between the States, and the Boer War.

The Chinese Triads, the Order of Zion, were all part of the dirty tricks

organized to upset both America, and later, the Boer Republics. The trail

leads back directly to the British Court Jews and the Scottish Rite Freemasons.

We should not overlook the part played by the Jews in the Masonic

Order. Their starting point was the B’nai B’rith, also called the Constitutional

Grand Lodge of the Order of the Sons of the Covenant, which was

recognized as a branch of the Scottish Rite. This was headquartered at

450 Grand Street, Manhattan, in the home of Joseph Seligman. The B’nai

B’rith was nothing but an intelligence front for the Montefiores and the

Rothschilds as was proven with the advent of Judah P. Benjamin, a

British subject, and leader of the B’nai B’rith to the post of Confederate

Secretary of War! Confederate General Albert Pike, a Grand Commander

of the Scottish Rite, completed the deep penetration of the South by these

agents of Satan.

( 8 )

The Boers, innocent of the real forces arrayed against them, thought that

they had only to defend themselves against a massive and powerful

military machine.

They did not know of the powers of darkness, the forces of spiritual

wickedness in high places, which were to be brought to bear upon their

tiny nation. Britain’s element of subversion was the large force of Jews

and other foreigners who flocked to the Transvaal following the discovery

of gold there. The Order of Zion was quick to utilize this force to

carry out acts of rebellion and to foment unrest in Kruger’s republic. The

Menorah, a Jewish publication, was quite open about the relationship

between the Scottish Rite and itself, and wrote that the Odd Fellows, the

Masons and other secret “benevolent” societies were all based upon

Jewish ideas.

As space does not permit further digression into the links behind the War

Between the States and the Boer War I will proceed with a summary of

events which led up to actual hostilities erupting in South Africa. The

foreigners kept up a drum beat for their “rights” (just as they had done in

Tsarist Russia) and in this way they were aided by a prostituted British

press, which loudly proclaimed the arrogance of the Boers, and demanded

that the Boers be punished. Particularly vehement lying was the Jewish

correspondent of the London Times. This vilification of Boers reached

hysterical proportions at times, stirring up resentment among the ill

informed British public back in England. The British leaders also understated

the tenacity of the Boers, as nationalists, as fighters, and as clever

politicians. They told the public, that British citizens were being badly

treated in the Transvaal, which was an insult to the British Queen and the

Union Jack. Such a situation was not to be tolerated, they said, by the

British Parliament.

When things were going too slow for Beit and Werhner, direct action to

speed up a war was instituted by these two men, who more than any

others, apart from their collaborators, Rhodes and Milner, were directly

responsible for the vicious and cruel war that was to come, working,

lovers of the soil, a simple pastoral people, a people Churchill once

described as a “mixture of squire and peasant.” One of the most important

( 9 )

beliefs held by the Boers was that the coloured races were to be kept

absolutely separated from the white race. They believed in the superiority

of the white race, based on Biblical injunctions. This was used against

them by the agitators, in much the same way as the issue of slavery was

used to drum up support for the War Between the States in an earlier part

of the century.

The Boers feared the vast influx of newcomers with their godless ways,

their foreign languages and customs. They feared the manner in which

these newcomers crossed racial lines. Greatly outnumbered, the Boers

took measures to protect their cultural and religious beliefs.

The measures which Kruger took were quite properly based on a very real

fear, that the Boers would be swamped if he did not protect their heritage.

The foreigners were not allowed to vote, and could hot obtain citizenship.

Eventually, the British Parliament intervened on the, side of the foreigners,

insisting that they be allowed to have “rights” to which they were not

entitled. Passions ran high in England as tales of great suffering by the

“British” (mainly Jews) unfolded in the Times and Daily Telegraph. Calls

for action were sounded by British politicians of all stripes. The legal

agreement of the Sand River Convention was forgotten. Still, Kruger

sought to avoid hostilities. He wished the death of no white men, surrounded

as were the Boers by the black races. He could not understand,

why white men should want to fight each other in the face of what he

considered the common danger, the coloured races. In this Kruger had no

conception of the nature of the forces arrayed against him.

A giant of a man, Paul Kruger spent much of his time meeting with

petitioners from his own people on the “stoep” (porch) of his simple home

in Pretoria, with a Bible in one hand to guide him, and a cup of coffee

never far away. He belonged to an ultra-conservative sect of Dutch

Reformed church called the Dopper Kerk. He was nonplussed and astounded,

that white men would want to fight to protect the so called

“rights” of non whites. He was a modest and simple man not given to

outward trappings of power. He never seemed to realize, that the real

issue was not the rights of the foreigners, but the desire of the Jews to

grab the gold of the Transvaal., He was a humble man dedicated to his

( 10 )

people. It is fair to say that Kruger did everything he could to prevent

actual war, including a personal visit to Queen Victoria. But against the

evil doings of Milner, Rhodes and the Court Jews, he had no defence.

The British, goaded on by the Court Jews and the Freemasons, got the

war they longed for. As usual, the ordinary people had not the slightest

idea of why they were going to war. Patriotism. was the issue, just as it

was in the Malvinas war. Then the plotters Milner, Beit and Werhner,

along with the arch villain Rhodes, made their first blunder. They arranged

for a British imperialist, Dr. Jameson, to invade the Transvaal

from outside the borders, march on Johannesburg, and declare the Transvaal

to be British territory. The Jews Beit and Werhner were supposed to

raise a force inside Johannesburg, that would rise against the Boer forces

at the same time. In fact, the rebellion never materialized; it was never

intended to. The Jews had no compunction in double crossing Jameson.

Jameson and his band of raiders were financed by the Jew Alfred Beit,

who was one of the main trouble makers inside the Transvaal, and

Jameson saw himself as a crusader, not a raider and an outlaw. With a

force of about 270 men on horseback and accompanied by black trackers

and guides, Jameson set off to topple Kruger, after a rousing rendition of

“God Save the Queen.” Kruger and the Boer general Joubert had received

information of the planned invasion and waited until Jameson and his

men were almost within sight of Johannesburg before decisively crushing

them in the most humiliating manner. This in itself ought to have been a

warning to the British people that the Boers were not going to be a

pushover. Coupled with, the rout of the British at Majuba in the first Boer

war, it should have down right alarmed the citizens of England.

Instead, it only inflamed passions against the Boer “enemy.”

Let us not pass judgment on the ordinary British people, after all, we in

America were misled in the same way in both the world wars. The

Scottish Rite Freemason Lord Alfred Milner, who hated the Boers and

their simple religious and racial beliefs, openly admitted fomenting war.

In a letter to Lord Roberts he said: “I precipitated the crisis, which was

inevitable, before it was too late. It is not very agreeable and in many

( 11 )

eyes, not very creditable piece of business, to have been largely instrumental

in bringing about a big war.” So with Milner agitating in England,

and Rhodes doing the same with the “uitianders” (foreigners) in South

Africa, the stage was set for a major war.

The Boer leaders had been laying in supplies of weapons for some time,

mostly from Germany, and consisting of Mauser rifles of the new five

shot type, and sonic field guns, The British had modernized their army

with 6 shot magazine loaded Lee Metford rifles. The Boer war was to be

a major testing ground for new weapons and new military tactics. The

scope of the war can be gauged by comparing the fact that the British

eventually had 400,000 men in the field in South Africa. The Americans

in Vietnam numbered some 500,000 men.

The Boers had no regular standing army. Their force, never more than

30,000 men under arms at any given time, was strictly a volunteer

citizens’ army. They never wore uniforms, and never indulged in parade

ground drilling or regular military exercises. But at the earlier battle of

Majuba, they proved to be deadly accurate shots, excellent horsemen, and

skilled guerrilla fighters. At Majuba in. 1881, General Joubert had

thrashed the British army under General Colley. One lesson the British

did learn from, Jauba was in future wars, in South Africa, the red coat

uniform had to go, and it was replaced by the drab khaki uniform in time

for the major war now looming.

The Jameson Raid, planned by Rhodes and Milner, and financed by the

Jews Beit and Werhner, was the catalyst which started the war. General

Jan Smuts said after the war (1906) that “The Jameson Raid was the real

declaration of war in the great Anglo-Boer conflict and that in spite of the

four year truce that followed, the aggressors (the British) consolidated

their alliance, the defenders on the other hand grimly prepared for the

inevitable.”

All of Paul Kruger’s efforts to find a solution to averting the war were

nullified by Rhodes, Milner, Beit and Werhner. The stage was set for one

of the most cruel, savage, corrupt and ugly wars ever to be waged, a war

which gave birth to the policies of attacking the civilian population,

( 12 )

concentration camps, and scorched earth policies. It also showed the utter

disdain of the British hierarchy for the welfare of its own troops, many of

whom were left wounded and lying out in the blazing African sun for

three days, while efforts by the Boers to negotiate a truce so that they

could be attended to went unanswered. The callous brutalities endured by

the Boer civilian population will be catalogued during the course of this

article.

On September 8th 1899, the British sent 10,000 men to South Africa, an

act of hostility which Kruger demanded be rescinded. The British sneered

at Kruger’s ultimatum that unless Her Majesty’s government recalled the

troops, the Boers would consider themselves at war with the British. The

Times called it “An infatuated step.” The Telegraph said, “Of course,

there can only be one answer to this grotesque challenge —- Mr Kruger

has asked for war, and he must have it.” The British troops left Southampton

on October 14th 1899, to the cheers of a large patriotic crowd, with,

flags flying and banners waving. Neither they nor, their commanding

officer, General Butler had any idea of the terrible hardships they would

soon be called upon to endure. The British public was told that the war

would be over in three weeks, and the Boers were going to be taught a

severe lesson.

With the billions of pounds at their disposal mainly the profits from the

Chinese opium trade: the British sent out the best equipped army the

world had ever seen. The khaki uniforms were well made, and the men

carried the latest quick firing rifles with a range of over one thousand

yards. They had plenty of artillery, and even observation balloons. This

was indeed a formidable fighting force, a professional army in every

sense of the word. Many of the crack regiments fell over each other for

the honour of going to beat the Boers who had insulted their Queen;

regiments such as the Grenadier Guards, the Royal Scots Greys, the

Royal Irish Fusiliers and on and on.

The Boers on the other hand were an undisciplined force of irregulars,

ranging in age from fourteen to seventy. Their leader, General Plet

Joubert had no formal military training, and no military manuals to guide

him. Nevertheless, at Majuba and against the Jameson Raiders, he had

( 13 )

proved himself to be a brilliant and brave leader of men, a natural soldier.

Photos of the period show just how young (and old) some of the Boer

soldiers were. The photos also show the type of clothing worn by Joubert’s

men. Small wonder that the British, accustomed to victory after

victory in China, Sudan and India, looked down upon the rag tag army

that was to challenge their elite forces. The British were confident that

after a few short, sharp skirmishes, the. Boers would lay down their arms.

One soldier, Lt. R. Kentish of the Royal Irish Fusiliers, in a letter to his

mother on October 12th 1899 wrote, “I don’t think the Boers will have a

chance, although I expect there will be one or two stiff little shows here

and there. I think they (the Boers) are awful idiots to fight, although we

of course, are very keen that they should” A British officer of higher rank,

writing to the instigator of the war, Lord Alfred Milner, said, “I hope to

hear that Symons (the British general) has taken tea with the Boers at

Dundee.” That is how confident the rank and file as well as the officers

were, that the Boers were going to be soundly defeated in short order.

But the British had underestimated the will of the Boers. When General

Joubert’s troops rose up “like ants from the ground” to smash Jameson,

they had come from New Year festivities. Many wearing their Sunday

clothing, with bandoliers stretched across their shoulders. They made

short work of Jameson’s trained soldiers, and captured a black box

containing all of the proof needed to show, that Milner and Rhodes were

implicated in the raid up to their necks, along with the British Prime

Minister. The denials by the conspirators were proved to be blatant lies.

This deeply angered the “farmer soldiers” and stiffened their determination

to rid themselves of the British for once and for all. Of course, the

ordinary Boer soldier had no idea that at the bottom of it all was the

machinations of international Jewry. True to Weishaupt’s dictates, the

master Jews took good care to hide behind the scenes.

The first set battle of the war occurred at Talana in Natal. The British

troops under the command of General Symons were attacked by some

three thousand Boers under the leadership of Lucas Meyer. The British

were soundly defeated, and General Symons left, mortally wounded.

( 14 )

The huge Union Jack that had been flying over the British camp was shot

to pieces. The roar of rapid firing Mauser rifles, never before experienced

by British troops, unnerved them. The British lost 53 killed and 203

wounded. The Boer commandos escaped on horseback long before the

British could rally and counter attack. It was a horrifying portent of what

was to come for the British forces.

The next battle took place at Elandslaagte, near Ladysmith on October

21st 1899. A commando of mounted Boers, under the leadership of

Commandant Koch, had come into the area against the express orders of

General Joubert.

Kock’s forces numbered 1,000 men and 3 field guns. The British forces

numbered over 3,000 men, including cavalry and 18 field guns. The

British took Kock by surprise, and the Boers had to flee. They were

cut-off; and the British cavalry, in

spite of a white flag of surrender, stormed through the Boer lines, stabbing

them with lances and cut ting them with sabres as the Boers tried to

surrender. One British officer called it “Excellent pig sticking.” But a

private wrote home saying “It was a terrible thing, we went along sticking

our lances through them.” The order had been given before the fight that

no prisoners were to be taken, so in spite of crying surrender, the Boers

were none the less slaughtered. But some were taken prisoner, and the

Boer survivors were marched through the streets of Ladysmith past

jeering blacks, who called out after them “where is your pass” (All black

people at that time, in South Africa had to carry an identification card, or

face arrest.)

The Boers still believed that this was a white man’s war, a war among

gentlemen. They were to be sadly disillusioned. The next major engagement

took place at Dundee. General Joubert had crept up in the night and

surrounded the British garrison. The British had just that day received the

news of the defeat of Kock at Elandslaace, and were told that the Boers

were in total retreat. The commander of the garrison, General White,

called for reinforcements, but none came. Far from being in retreat, the

Boers were there in strength. Eventually, the British forces were able to

escape during a heavy rainstorm one night, a humiliating set back for

( 15 )

what was the pride of the British army. Several British officers and about

one thousand men stayed behind to supervise the hospital and tend the

wounded. When the Boers rode into the camp, the leaders were dressed

in ordinary working clothes. The British officers were astounded at the

casual dress, but surrendered the camp, complete with pitched tents and

equipment, to the Boer officers. Donegan, the British commander, had his

field glasses and revolver taken; otherwise the Boers treated the prisoners

with civility. Altogether the booty was supplies for forty days for five

thousand men, equipment, trophies and most valuable, the code book

used by the British.

General Sir Symons had been mortally wounded in an earlier battle, and

he died in the hospital. General Erasmus, the Boer commander, asked to

be allowed to see the face of the British leader saying that he had heard

that Symons was a brave man. When he saw the dead man Erasmus said,

“it is a pity, this war.” The Boers attended the funeral service and helped

with the wounded. They also helped collect the bodies of the British

soldiers, which lay on the battlefield. The British lost 28 men, and the

men who had remained behind. The wounded were allowed to go to the

British encampment in Ladysmith, which the Boers promptly began to

lay siege to the main force which had fled Dundee in the night, was cause

for much bitterness among the British war correspondents. A beaten army

is never a pretty sight, especially when it is the pride of a nation, and has

suffered defeat at the hands of an irregular force which by all accounts

was supposed to be inferior. One of the correspondents wrote “What a

bitter shame, all ashamed of England. Once more England is the source

of laughter to her enemies.” But before this force, consisting of some of

the crack regiments of the British army, could reach the safety of Ladysmith,

they were attacked by Boer commandos on horseback. The Boers

could hit almost any target while riding at full gallop. They put the fear

of God into the British troops, who broke their nerve lost. The Calvary,

which had speared the helpless Boer prisoners, was routed, and straggled

into Ladysmith, “A streaming mass of clubbed and broken cavalry” as

one observer put it. It was the last occasion on which cavalry played a role

in the war, and it led to the eventual abandonment of cavalry as a fighting

unit in the British army.

( 16 )

The news of the reverse, and the possible siege of Ladysmith sent shock

waves coursing through the British public. In England, the voice of Lloyd

George was raised in protest at the British actions in South Africa, but in

general, the Scottish Rite Freemason dominated cabinet of Queen Victoria

was determined to destroy the small Boer nation, and General Buller

was ordered to South Africa with a mass of men and equipment with

orders to vigorously prosecute the war. There is a strange parallel here

between what happened in the Boer republics and Vietnam.

Meanwhile back in Ladysmith, British General White hesitated long

enough for the Boers to come up and surround the garrison, cutting the

telegraph line to Durban, and isolating the British garrison in what would

turn out to be a humiliating siege, probably one of the worst chapters in

the annals of British military history. News of the battles and the death of

Symons came to Buller en route to Cape Town; a passing ship held up a

sign announcing “Three battles, Boers defeated, Penn Symons killed.”

Soldiers on the H.M.S. Dunnottar Castle were shocked; they thought the

war would be over before they had a chance to fight in it! But by the time

Butler disembarked in Capetown and hurried off to see Milner, the news

of the disaster-at Ladysmith and the crushing defeat of the British at

Nicholson’s Nek came through, but were held back from the public.

Butler found the Freemason leader, an ardent pupil of the communist

John Ruskin, in a state of agitated fear. Milner complained that everything

was going wrong; he had badly underestimated the Boers. He told

Butter that he was “quaking with fear.” Strange words indeed from the

man who had started the war. As for the Boers, they did not change their

ways or their tactics. They did no training; they did not like to fight on

Sundays, preferring to attend church services. The Bible was a book,

which was always in the one hand, along with a Mauser in the other.

Kruger refused to celebrate the victory of his men. He felt, and said that

it was a sad thing to see white men killing each other, a lesson we could

have, but did not, benefit from in the wars which were to follow. All he

said was “God has given us a great victory.”

Of even greater reliance to Cecil Rhodes was the fact that Boer commandos

were converging upon Kimberley, diamond capital of the world.

( 17 )

Rhodes, a man given to shrill condemnation of the Boers in his high

falsetto voice, lashed out also at the ineptitude of the Queen’s army. And

no wonder, since Kimberly was the cornerstone of his fortune. He held

daily consultations with the Jew financier Alfred Beit one of the prime

movers of rebellion against Paul Kruger’s government, as to what should

be done. Instead of getting out the way, Rhodes rushed off to Kimberly,

as though he could do any good there, and proceeded to be a thorn in the

side of the British garrison during the ensuing siege. Rhodes kept on

sending, messages to Milner, and later, when in fact Kimberly was

surrounded by the Boer forces, he even threatened to hand over the town

to them, unless Milner sent relief forces to his aid at once. Thus was the

true character of the man revealed, a man who on the one hand claimed

to be a great British imperialist, yet who stood ready and prepared to

surrender to the Boers as a matter of expediency. Those who know only

the side of Rhodes around which the scholarship named after him is

wrapped, will be shocked to learn more of his true hyena like character,

a subject I shall deal with later.

There were many minor skirmishes, most of which went badly for the

British. The towns of Kimberley and Ladysmith were besieged, shutting

off several thousand British troops. Altogether an unflattering situation

for an army which hitherto had nothing but one victory after another in

India and the Sudan. The British were finding out that “Johnny Boer” as

they called the Boer soldier was made of sterner stuff than the Indians and

the Sudanese. Butler, in the meantime, arrived in Durban, Natal (a British

colony) and was waiting for more reinforcements to arrive from England.

From the Cape (also a British, colony from which the Boers had trekked

rather than suffer British rule) another British general was preparing to

march off to relieve the squealing Rhodes in Kimberley. Lt. General Lord

Methuen had no way of knowing, but it would not be many months

before he and the pride of the British army suffered a crushing and utterly

devastating defeat.

Lord Methuen was a true’ aristocrat, and like Buller he was not altogether

happy with the unjust war being waged against a small pastoral nation.

He had been caught once expressing such doubts, and it nearly cost him

his support in high places, the support of men like Lord Lansdowne, the

( 18 )

War Minister. Butler too was not altogether happy about the reasons

advanced for the war. There is some evidence that he felt very uncomfortable

with the role being played by the two Jews, Werhner and Beit, whom

he regarded with suspicion. Also, he did not care for falsetto voiced Cecil

Rhodes.

Such ideas then, as now, he realized were best left unsaid. One thing

Methuen had quickly learned since his arrival, this was a war in which the

enemy was able to make himself nearly invisible. He had read the reports

of previous battles in which the British soldiers complained of hardly

ever being able to see their targets. “Where are the Boers” was a frequently

asked question. This was no parade ground war. Drift work was of no

value. Also, the new smokeless long range magazine rifles of the Boers,

and the Lee Enfield rifles of the British made it a war in which the usual

reconnaissance had become obsolete. So often the Boers would ride up

behind a hill, dismount, and fire upon the surprised British forces, who

were unable to see the khaki clad Boers taking cover on the boulder

strewn slopes of the hill. They then would melt away, mount their ponies

and gallop off before the British had a chance to recover. This was unlike

any military manual set piece, and the British discovered to their chagrin

and their cost, that the Boers were past masters at it!

Lord Methuen studied all of these problems before setting out from the

Cape to cross the Orange River on his way to relieve the quavering

Rhodes in Kimberley.. One of the war correspondents who accompanied

Meuthuens army was Julian Ralph of the London Daily Mall At the

crossing point of the Orange River he had ridden out to see first hand the

outcome of a skirmish between a British scouting party and the nearly

invisible Boers. What he found did not please him.

The first sight of blood or a bullet hole in a man is always a shock. The

Boers had just surprised a British scouting party under Colonel George

Gough’s command. A train had been sent out to bring the mauled British

back across the river. Ralph saw six dead soldiers, four of them officers.

“The Boers will not play the game fairly,” a fellow officer said. Ralph

looking at the gleaming insignias on the officer’s uniform was not surprised.

The Boers had a reputation for deadly marksmanship, and shining

( 19 )

insignias were no doubt a target too good to be missed. It was no small

wonder that so many officers were casualties, usually in the opening

minutes of the battles. The Boers had become strategists, their orders

were “pick off the officers first.” Methuen issued orders that henceforth

buttons and insignias were to be blacked out before any action.

The immediate result of the loss of Gough’s scouting party was more

quaking, fear from Milner, and even more falsetto bleating from Rhodes.

Neither of the two great imperialists, the ardent admirers of Ruskin the

old school communist, could understand how it was, that the pride of the

British was suffering daily humiliation at the hands of a “backward”

nation they despised so much for its religious and racial beliefs, and for

its love of the land.

The main problem facing Methuen was “where were the Boers.” With the

Mauser’s long range, scouting in the flat open country around the Orange

River was impossible. So Methuen had to rely on reports brought in by

blacks, unreliable at best, and sometimes pure invention.

In addition, Meuthen lacked the needed transport animals, so supplies had

to be brought up from the Cape on the vulnerable single railway. Thus

Meuthen had to go straight in the direction of Kimberley, following the

railway line. Surprise was out of the question, it would have to be British

luck which would see them through. On the evening of November Blast

1899, Meuthen’s army started to roll over the Orange River towards

Kimberley in a three mile long column, and reached the north bank

without incident. The march continued with skirmishes at Belmont and

Graspan. The casualties sickened Meuthen. He lost 297 men killed and

wounded, while the Free State Boers lost 130 men. Meuthen hated the

war, and he wrote to his wife to say so, “People congratulate me, and look

upon me as their father, but I detest war, the more I see of it. I have

already buried 13 officers and men. There is a poor fellow outside my

tent, groaning and moaning, shot through the chest; he is at last silent,

perhaps God has released him.” The pride of the British Army, the

Grenadiers lost 136 men killed and wounded at Belmont.

( 20 )

Poor mobility and weak intelligence was the prime cause of the British

losses Fine uniforms, discipline, and plenty of food could not make, up

for it. By contrast the Boer forces were showing signs of wear. At best

they were very poor people. There was little money to go around. Food

was always in short supply. They had to live and fight in the same clothes.

Some of them were even bare footed. Yet what they lacked in military

equipment was made up by their fighting spirit, their love of the land their

belief that they were fighting for their existence as a nation. Even the very

young and the very old did not waver. It is a remarkable story of human

fortitude and courage in the face of overwhelming odds.

At Belmont, things had gone badly for the British. The Boers, although

outnumbered four to one, held good cover among the rocks and boulders

of the small hills which dot the area. Once again, they were almost

invisible. Their deadly accurate rifle fire was a horror not previously

faced by the British troops. The short, sharp engagement put the three

defensive hills in the hands of the British, but when they crested the

slopes, they saw, what the British troops at Talana had seen before them;

the mounted Boers melting away in the distance.

On the night of November 27th 1899, Methuen paused to take stock of

his position. He did not know it, but one of the most decisive battles of

the war was about to begin, one which would stun the British Empire and

cause dismay and fear in the hearts of Rhodes and Milner.

The Boers had a secret weapon; the spade. Up until this war, the spade

had not played a role in modern warfare. But at this point in history, it

was used with remarkable success by the “stupid peasants,” as Lord

Milner described the Boers, to telling effect. On Saturday, December 9th

1899, General Wauchope of the Highland Brigade detailed the plan of

attack to his superior officer, Lord Methuen. The British had brought up

crates of champagne with which to celebrate the up coming victory.

Incidentally, the champagne was a gift from Lord Rothschild, the Jewish

banker, who was heavily involved in financing the war (and reaping huge

profits) and who stood to control the goldfields if the British won.

Wauchope’s plan called for a night march, followed by a dawn attack.

( 21 )

But the British were not sure of where the main Boer forces were

positioned. Using the spade, they had dug false fortifications on top of the

ridge of hills, where the British could see it. They also sent Boer horsemen

up along the skyline just long enough to be seen by Methuen’s

forces. A short sharp engagement was the way Wauchope saw it, if

Kimberley was to be revealed, and the shrill falsetto of Cecil Rhodes

complaints to Queen Victoria ended. Rhodes was still trapped by the Boer

forces, along with ten thousand black miners, inside Kimberley, much to

his rage and chagrin, at Modder river. They had dug in deep and well,

using thorn bushes to completely conceal their positions. The secret

weapon, the spade, was about to pay off! The Boers, under the leadership

of De La Ray and Cronje waited in their trenches as the leading columns

of companies A and B approached them, then when they saw the flicker

of bayonets, at four hundred yards, the Boers opened fire. A sheet of

flame seemed to erupt from under their feet, one soldier stated later. A

sergeant of the Argyles said “It was as if a great roaring opened up” and

“it was like a dam bursting its walls.” The Boers poured into the serried

ranks, confusion reigned, orders and counter orders flew almost as thick

as the bullets. The soldiers broke and ran, trampling on each other in

panic. The deadly fire mowed them down, so that they were forced to fall

on their faces and lie there. Any movement brought a Mauser bullet, the

Boers were deadly marksmen, and they were proving it. Even a hand

reached for a canteen of water, and the soldier was instantly killed.

For hours the Highlanders were pinned down, and as the sun began to

strengthen, they suffered from its piercing rays; later it beat down so

fiercely that some soldiers, crazed with thirst and delirious from heat,

staggered up, only to be immediately shot down. The pride of the British

army, the Guards, and the Highlanders, the apple of the eye of Queen

Victoria, mightiest monarch on earth, had been thrashed and humiliated

by the despised Boers. Lord Methuen, stunned by the savage defeat, sat

under the shade of a tree all day long, as if unable to move. Unlike the

Boers leaders, General De La Ray, and General Cronje, he took no part

in the fighting. Finally the British artillery was able to get a bearing and

began to pound the Boer lines. Some soldiers, who had lain prone in the

burning heat for 9 hours, had the skin from the back of their legs scorched

off below their kilts. Eventually they could stand no more. First a few,

( 22 )

then many, then a rush took place as the Highlanders fled back in panic.

One officer described the scene thus: “I saw a sight I never hope to see

again: men of the Highland divisions running for all they were worth,

Still others cowering under bushes, some behind the guns (artillery), with

officers running around, revolvers in hands, threatening to shoot them,

others kicking the men. Wauchope was found dead, along with 902

British troops. The Boers lost 216 men.

This battle, one of the most significant in the annals of modern warfare,

has been swept under the, rug. What should be remembered is that the

Boers were only civil militiamen, comparable to the men who fought in

the American Revolution. Yet they were able to defeat in a resounding

manner, the cream of the finest army in the world, even though outnumbered

ten to one.

Their secret was their deep abiding faith in the Bible, and their love of the

land. They were in short, not able to be corrupted and seduced by

international Jewry. Sad to say, the same does not hold true of present day

leaders in South Africa. The young Afrikaner businessman has been led

astray by the machinations of Jewry, and today, the leadership lacks the

old deep rooted faith in the Bible, and the love of the land. The present

leadership of South Africa is not fit to stand in the same room with the

Boers of 1899.

After Lord Methuen’s shattering defeat which shocked the British Empire

(by then there were Canadians and Australians serving with the British

forces) a new spirit of ruthlessness seized the leaders of the conspiracy.

Lord Milner at the Cape advocated harsher methods, as did Cecil Rhodes.

In a very short while, the Boers inflicted further disasters upon the British

forces in Natal, where the British, led by General Buller, although out

numbering the Boers by as much as 10 to 1, were soundly thrashed on

several battle fields. Altogether it was a stunning and astonishing spectacle,

the mightiest army, fully, equipped with the most modern weapons,

beaten and disgraced upon the fields of battle. Not by a regular trained

army, but by a scratch force of men, looked down upon by Rhodes, and

despised by Milner, poorly equipped and with little or no military experience.

At Frere, and at the Tugela River, the British were repulsed with

( 23 )

heavy loss of life. General Louis Botha, the Boer commandant, proved to

be more than a match for the Sandhurst trained officers of Queen Victoria’s

army.

Yet the Boers were dismayed by the slaughter.

The Boers heard the British general remark that he was a finding himself

in a position subordinate to the Boers, whom he despised and detested as

inferiors. Wauchope fell for the Boer trick. He told his commander that

the main Boer position was on top of Magersfontien Hill. The three crack

Scottish regiments, Black Watch, Seaforth Highlanders and Argyles,

were to storm the hill at dawn. At 3 am three thousand of Britain’s finest

moved out of their base camp toward the Magersfontien Hill, six miles

away. The African heat was fierce, and as had often happened, several of

the troops collapsed from heat and sun stroke. Behind the troops came the

British artillery, five batteries in all. The Highlanders had covered their

bright buttons and tartan with khaki. As is common in Africa, the weather

changed, and a sleety rain began to fall. The soldiers carried no coats so

they got soaked. About three miles from the Magersfontein Hill, a halt

was called, and camp made for the night, right out in the open, with no

shelter of any kind. Wauchope rode back to give final briefing to Lord

Methuen, who decided to hold back the Guards and 9th Brigade as

reserves.

Meanwhile the British artillery began the biggest bombardment up to that

time, against what they thought was the Boer positions on top of Magersfontein

Hill. For the rest of the afternoon, the dust and red dirt thrown up

by exploding shells from the British artillery, filled the sky. Later Methuen

admitted that the only thing the shelling did, was warn the Boer

forces of his impending attack. With the coming of night, the winds

turned icy; no one who has not slept out on the African veldt at night

without cover can imagine how cold it gets. The men were under orders

not to make fires; they lay down to sleep in wet clothes, having eaten cold

food. At midnight a strong wind sprang up, and the sky rumbled and

reverberated with rolling thunder from a storm.

( 24 )

Wauchope compressed his men, who were woken up at midnight, into a

column 45 yards wide, 30 companies, 90 files, all according to British

parade ground drill. The column was about 160 yards long, joined

together with knotted ropes, so that they would not lose contact in the

darkness of the pitch black moonless night. The march was led by Major

Benson, with the aid of a compass, a really tricky procedure to be

followed by disaster. Wauchope had done night marches in the Sudan,

over sand, clear of obstacles, the night sky brilliant. This was different.

The terrain over which the soldiers had to pass was strewn with boulders,

holes, defiles and thorn bushes, difficult enough in daylight, but now, a

nightmare. The howling wind, blue white flashes of lightning and rolling

thunder made the scene one out of a Shakespeare set, only this was

reality. As the sky began to brighten a bit near morning, the column was

almost at the exact spot chosen by Lord Methuen, a tribute to the skill of

Benson.

The column halted, Benson telling Wauchope this was as far as his men

could go. The Boers were about to spring the trap. Wauchope figured that

his men, having been in darkness for so long, would be able to see better

than the Boer riflemen, so he decided to storm the ridge at once. The

order was given to fix bayonets. What Wauchope and Methuen did not

know was that under cover of darkness, for at least a week before, the

Boers had dug a line of trenches and fortifications at the base of Magersforitein,

extending around the only way through, right up to the banks of

the rive.

It was a shame that white men should be fighting each other. That indeed

was the tragedy of the Boer War, which was to be repeated on a vast scale

in World War 1 and 11. We Christians never seem to learn from our

mistakes. In spite of winning on the battlefield, the Boers took no comfort

from the losses of the British. In the meantime, the real enemy, Werhner

and Belt, Cecil Rhodes and Lord Milner kept well out of sight.

Space does not permit me to go into the many battles that were fought.

But the Boers proved to be more than a match for the British forces,

which in 1900 numbered over 400,000 men.

( 25 )

One of those major battles was fought at Tugela River, near Ladysmith.

Here the largest British army to march into battle since Alma, fifty years

earlier, saw action against General Botha and his rag-tag citizens army.

Sixteen battalions of infantry, cavalry and heavy guns started out toward

the Boer position. It was a David and Goliath affair, but the fearless Botha

held his ground against the Irish Fusiliers, the Connaught Rangers and

some of Britain’s finest regiments. The outcome stunned the British

public, by now somewhat accustomed to shocks from South Africa.

General Butiler’s army was defeated by the Boers. A general retreat even

turned to a rout. It was a great day and a great victory for the Boers. It also

cost Buller his job; he was relieved of his command and sent home. His

successor was Lord Roberts.

Prime Minister Balfour chose Roberts, who was a court friend, although

not liked by Queen Victoria. No sooner had Roberts arrived in South

Africa than he was persuaded to adopt a code of war against the Boer

civilian population, the first official such action recorded. Where the

British army and the foreigners who flooded the Transvaal had failed to

change the ways of the Boers, Roberts thought he would do so by a direct

assault on the Boer family unit. Immediate plans were laid by the High

Command to implement a scorched earth policy, destroy the crops and

cattle, burn down the homesteads, and put the women and children in

concentration camps. Hitter has often been accused of being the man who

started civilian concentration camps. The truth is, the distinction belongs

to the British, who at the urging of Milner and Rhodes, saw it as a way to

bring the Boers to heel. It was dirty war at its worst.

The Boer housewife was particularly hated by Milner and Rhodes. She

was the rock of the family; she did all of the domestic work. Even

President Kruger’s wife milked the cows. The Boer women kept the farm

going and the family together while the men were away fighting the war.

In the end, they even did the ploughing and sowing of seeds.

Together these men went to work in earnest. Boer farms were destroyed

and cattle killed. Women and children were herded into camps, without

any proper sanitation, or shelter, other than the ordinary bell tent. It was

a scene set for disaster, which was not long in coming. When the Boer

( 26 )

women, left standing on the open veldt, their homes burning in the

background, were asked about the war, by British soldiers, they said they

would never give up fighting, no matter how long it took. One of the

British officers assigned to the dirty war wrote home as follows; “The

worst moment is when you first come to the house. The people thought

we had come for refreshments, one women went to get milk. Then we had

to tell them that we had to burn the place down. I simply don’t know

which way to took. I gave the inmates, three women and some children,

ten minutes to clear their clothes and things out of the house, and my men

fetched bundles of straw and we proceeded to burn it down. The old

grandmother was very angry. Most of them were too miserable to curse.

The women cried and the children stood by holding on to them, looking

at the house with large frightened eyes. They won’t forget that sight, I’ll

bet a sovereign, not even when they grow up. We rode away and left them

standing, a forlorn little group among their household goods, beds and

furniture strewn about the veldt; the crackling of the fire in their ears, and

smoke and flames streaming overhead.”

Thus did the British High command demean itself. Later he same tactics

were to be used against the civilian population of Germany on a hitherto

unheard of scale, like in Dresden, when 125,000 German women, children

and old men fell victim to Churchill’s murderous firebombing in one

hellish night. This was how war was shaped, not by the Germans, but by

the most civilized nation on earth, the British, and they did it to women

and children, their own, kind, Christian people, so that the Jews who ran

Queen Victoria, and those who had infested South Africa could take

control of the largest gold mines in the world. They knew no bounds of

Indecency, those blinded people, under the direction of the Jews. The

Boer women and children suffered indescribable hardships in the primitive

camps set up to “house” them In the end, out of the 116,572 Boers in

concentration camps, some 25,000 perished from malnutrition dynasty,

and exposure, as well as a variety of other diseases. It is one of the most

terrible blots on the history of a civilized Christian country, and it shows

one just how far we can be lead astray, when our governments sell

themselves to International Jewry.

( 27 )

Plainly the Boer War was fought because the international Jewish agitators

who flocked to the Transvaal and demanded “rights” they were not

entitled to were acting according to a detailed plan. It was to overrun the

Boers by sheer weight of numbers, gain “voting rights” and then relegate

the Boers to the background without power, once they, the Jews., gained

control. But the Boers would have none of it, and rather than bow to

Jewish pressure and see themselves inundated with in a short period by.

a horde of alien Orientals, who had no love for the land, and who

worshipped pagan Babylonian gods, the Boers decided to fight. Would

that we in this country today would show some of that spirit! The Boers

set a precedent we ought all to study, and it rocked the conspirators back

on their heels and shook their foundations. The brave Boers set back

Jewish plans in a very real way that frightened Rhodes and Milner, and

panicked the secret Jew leaders. And when that happens, the Jew always

resorts to barbaric cruelty. History is replete with examples. The Spanish

“Civil” War demonstrated that as clearly as any war has ever done. Now

the fury of the Jew controlled British was unleashed on the Boer women

and children.

Hatred of any nation which opposes their plans for world domination

always follows in the wake of a Jewish victory. Following World War

One, the Jewish hordes which flocked to Versailles drew up a treaty

which is noted, even today, for its utter savagery and wilful misconduct

toward the German people. No wonder Herbert Hoover had grave misgivings

about it. Our people should have learned from the savage vengeance

wreaked upon Boer women and children by the “British” Jews. But

they did not. The savage conduct which they displayed in South Africa

was put, into effect against a defeated Germany. I cannot go into the

provisions of this infamous document, but it frightened some of the

Allies. Only Wilson, the servant of his advisor, “Colonel House” (real

name, Mandel Huis), a Dutch Jew thought it was “Fair” as did of so many

offensive Jewish ideas. The Treaty of Versailles subsequently embodied

many of the lessons the Jews had learned from their war in South Africa,

and ties with their Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion.

The British General who was ordered to carry out this devilish scheme

was none other than Lord Roberts, a legend in the annals of British

( 28 )

military history. Even he found time to praise the Boers, speaking in the

most glowing terms of the exploits of General De Wet, and later almost

getting into hot water because of it. There is no doubt that the Boer

General De Wet was more than a match for the British. A British officer,

Captain Seele, captured by De Wets men was immediately impressed by

the modesty and fighting qualities of De Wet. He described De Wet as “a

wonderful man.” In one battle, defeat was handed to 40,000 British

soldiers by 2500 men under the direct command of De Wet, an astonishing

feat when it is remembered that the British had the superiority not

only in numbers, but in firepower also. It was the love of the land, and a

deeply ingrained sense of faith in God which carried the Boers, De Wet

later explained. Many of the British officers had no desire to fight the

Boers for whom they had nothing but admiration and this too, reflected

in the outcome of many a battle. The British soldier ordered by Lord

Roberts to make war on Boer women and children simply detested the

task. This was not lost on the generation of psychologists who followed,

and as a result, the attack on German civilians in the Second World War,

was carried out from the air, so that the effect would be less distressing

for those who were forced to do the dirty deed. This lesson was not lost

on “correspondent” Winston Churchill, who later put it to good use in his

war of attrition against Germany.

The Boer forces were now widely scattered. Lord, Roberts thought they

were demoralized by the cowardly attacks on their women folk and

children, and the destruction of their farms. He sent a cable to the British

Prime Minister, Lansdowne, in which he predicted that his brutal policies

against the civil population would bring the war to a speedy close. He

sent the Queen a similar telegram. Roberts failed to reckon with the

determination of the Boers, and the love of their land, newly ravaged and

destroyed. The Boer Generals decided to carry on the fight using only

guerrilla tactics from that day on. The Boers were past masters of guerrilla

fighting, and from-that day on, there were no more set battles with the

British.

Lord Roberts sent 3 columns against the Boers under Lord Kitchener,

Lord Methuen and Smith Dorrien. An attempt was made to corral the

Boers against the mountains in a wide net, drawing it ever tighter. But no

( 29 )

matter how hard they tried, the Boers under De Wet and Steyn, always

eluded capture. The Boer forces in the field suffered terrible privations.

Their families were scattered throughout concentration camps, they

themselves were short of food and ammunition. Many of them had no

great coats or winter clothing, some were even without boots. The cold

frosty nights of the South African winter was a test of endurance. Somehow

they were able to survive, and notwithstanding the boast of Lord

Roberts, they were able to prolong the war for another two years, inflicting

one humiliating defeat upon another on the British, who were quite

unable to cope with this new style of warfare.

Queen Victoria was thoroughly alarmed at the news about the deaths of

Boer women and children, who due to the unsanitary camp conditions

and lack of food, were dying in ever increasing numbers. She also blamed

the detention policy on Lady Roberts, who had accompanied her husband

to South Africa against the wishes of the Queen. Like so many of her

kind, Flora Roberts hated the patriotism of the Boers and she looked

down on them in a manner which the Southern population of the U.S.

would well have understood. Flora Roberts was violently hostile to the

Boer women, and she made no secret of her satisfaction that so many of

them were dying. Eventually the scandal reached England, and attempts

were made by various groups in England to alleviate the suffering of the

Boer women and children. An English nurse, Emily Hobhouse, did

yeoman work in the “death camps” and she sent back hundreds of

horrifying accounts to the British Parliament over the treatment of the

camp inmates. However, none of this moved Lord Roberts and Lord

Kitchener to do anything about the disgrace.

This policy of genocide against the Boers was fully supported by Lord

Alfred Milner and Cecil Rhodes, who both expressed their satisfaction

with it. The lessons learned and experience gained by Milner in South

Africa were later put to use in the Bolshevik revolution in Russia.

In the field, the British suffered major reverses resulting in the sacking of

two senior British commanders, Gatacre and Colville. By now Churchill

had wearied of the war and went back to England, where he entered

politics at Oldham. The leader of the British forces, Lord Roberts, was

( 30 )

seldom seen during these trying times. He called the successful guerrilla

strikes by De Wet and Steyn “unrest”. He began to think in terms of

offering a peace treaty to the Boers. Rhodes flew into a rage, his high

falsetto voice raised in shrill protest to Queen Victoria. The autocratic

Milner was furious, and refused to entertain the idea. Roberts wrote to the

Queen saying that if Milner and Rhodes wanted to grind the Boers into

the dust (their expressed intentions), then they must be prepared to spend

billions more on the war. it is interesting to note that the seeds of the

“unconditional surrender” mentality forced upon the Germans in World

War II and the infamous Morgenthau Plan were first planted in South

Africa. Truly, Jewish hatred is unremitting!

Lady Roberts in the meantime, in defiance of the orders of her Queen,

arrived in Pretoria, and immediately ordered the expulsion of all Boer

women and children from that city. The unfortunate civilians were herded

into open cattle trucks and shipped out toward the Boer positions near the

border of Portuguese East Africa. The women and children went a few

days in the open trucks, without shelter or proper food and water supplies.

General Botha, who was in command of -the Boer guerrilla forces in the

area, called it “an inhuman act.” And it was. Robert’s answer was to

increase the tempo of farm burning. He wrote home saying that he would

“starve into submission, these banditti” as though he was fighting rabble.

Lord Milner thought nothing of the swelling protests in England over the

disgraceful treatment of Boer women and children. “If we are to do

anything about South Africa we must disregard the screamers” he wrote

to his associate, Richard Haldane. That attitude was carried over by

Milner into the Bolshevik revolution, where he disregarded the screams

of the innocent, victims of his greed. Eventually the British saw that the

only way to end the war was to come to all accommodation with the

Boers, not the unconditional surrender demanded by Milner and Rhodes,

but one which the Boers could live with. Terms were drawn up and

submitted to the Boers. After months of deliberating, they agreed to meet

the British in Pretoria. General Smuts and the British together hammered

out a compromise document. Finally on May 31st, 1902 the two sides got

together in a great marquee tent at Vereeninging and a peace treaty was

signed. The Boers lost the war, but gained a good deal of freedom and

( 31 )

independence. The only one who did not agree with the wars end was

Lord Alfred Milner. He expressed bitter shock and dismay, more so at the

failure of the British Army to defeat the Boers in battle. It is said that he

never forgave Kitchener for this. After the signing of the peace treaty,

some 25,000 Boer Commandos came forward to give up arms, which

further astonished the British. They had reckoned on only about 12,000

armed men, and were thankful that the Boers accepted the terms in view

of the forces still at their command. The ordinary British soldier had no

wish to continue fighting what he felt was his own kind. War correspondents

recorded the following comments “We were half starved all the

time.” “I never saw the point of it” “Johnny Boer used to shoot Kaffirs

like you shoot a dog.” “it was all for the gold mines.”

After the war the Boers struggled to put their lives together again. They

returned to farms devastated and destroyed, some with their families dead

in concentration camps, the country side scorched and blackened. But in

a few short years those hardy men, who should be an example to us all,

built the finest country on the African continent. Unfortunately they were

not able to keep the Jews from entirely gaining control of the gold mines.

Nor were they able to keep the Jews from becoming citizens and voters.

But they did succeed in gaining independence, and in 1910 South Africa

became a self governing independent country within the British Empire.

Still the descendents of the Boers continued the struggle, and finally,

under the leadership of Dr. Verwoerd, the country became a free republic,

outside of the British Commonwealth. The war they had to fight was that

of black nationalism. The British never won the right to vote for the

blacks, but that has not stopped the liberals from going on the offensive.

If South Africa ever loses that crucial war, civilization as we know it, will

disappear from the African continent. Today, the same forces are still at

work, trying to overturn white Christian civilization in South Africa.

There is still hope that they will not succeed. The far reaching consequences

of the Boer War showed up in the First World War. The Boer

War was the testing ground for modern weapons. It was also the start of

trench warfare. But perhaps the most important lesson of all was that the

deep rooted faith of a small group of Christians is capable of putting back

the clock the enemy plans to take over the whole world in a one world –

( 32 )

World government dictatorship. The Boers showed that pride of race and

belief in God can turn the tide. It is a lesson we all need to learn, for we

too, will soon be faced with the choice of whether to fight or surrender.

The Boer forces although outnumbered showed that a determined people,

rooted in Christianity and the love of the land can withstand the forces

which seek to overwhelm U.S. and deprive us of our land and our

Christian faith. The Boers are a shining example of what strength of

Christian character can do. It was a lesson to the conspirators, the Illuminists,

the Freemasons and the Jews, who thought that they would easily

overcome a pastoral people they thoroughly despised.

From Boer War to

“Democratic”

Terrorism

By Tony Norton

From South Africa

UPDATE 2004

The murder of Prime Minister H. F. Verwoerd, in the South African

parliament, on September 6, 1966, was the beginning of the end, not only

of White rule in South Africa, but of Christian civilization in Africa.

Nothing could better illustrate this than the recently published remarks of

Moeletsi Mbeki, younger brother of the South African President Thabo

Mbeki, in the Weekly Telegraph of September 29, 2004, Mbeki the

younger who is head of the S. A. Institute of International Affairs, is

( 33 )

reported as having told an audience in Durban that “Africans had been

better off under colonial rule, but now, Africa was in a spiral of decline.”

That decline began with John Vorster’s retreat from his predecessor’s

policy of Separate Development. It started with the introduction of

integrated Sport. From that point on there was no turning back. At last the

actions of F W De Klerk ensured that the nation was handed to our

communist enemies.

Mr. Jaap Marais, leader of the HNP (Reformed Nationalist Party) however,

resisted to the end of his life this blatant act of treachery. In a letter to

The Citizen on 8th August 1995, he wrote I am not going to apologize for

the policies followed by the N.P. under Gen. Hertzog, Dr. D F Malan, Mr.

J G Strijdom and Dr. H F Verwoerd.

“Whether called segregation, apartness or separate development, the

policies were based on the eternal truth that persons desire to have their

distinctive identity recognized and respected by others.”

“Freedom of the individual may only be enjoyed if the group to which he

or she belongs enjoys freedom. The freedom of the group, but attachment

to the cultural prescriptions of the group, provides real freedom of the

individual. This is the essence of nationalism, involving the right to

preference for one’s own. And this is precisely what the policies of the

past were promoting, especially under the enlightened and competent

leadership of Dr. H F Verwoerd.

“Under his leadership South Africa had an average rate of economic

growth of six percent per annum, and an inflation rate of two percent. The

nation was “suffering from a surfeit of prosperity”, as the Rand Daily

Mail said in July, 1966. Mr. Harry Oppenheimer admitted that the living

standards of Blacks were rising at the rate of 5.4% and those of Whites at

3.7 percent per annum.

“There was law and order in the country, Jan Botha, an opponent of Dr.

Verwoerd, wrote that South Africa was a “shining example of peace on a

troubled continent.”

( 34 )

Jaap Marais ends his letter with the logical conclusion, “To apologize for

the prosperity and peaceful conditions created under these policies, and

conversely, promoting and condoning the mess of economic woe and

lawlessness created under the new policies, is preposterous.”

That “mess” to which Mr. Marais referred grew rapidly once the ANC

had been handed the White’s wealth, weapons and security both in variety

and intensity. Newspapers abroad were not ignorant of South Africa’s

slide into something approaching anarchy. In 1998, a survey conducted

by the British Department of Home Affairs, which included a 24 page

report on South Africa, it was found that of the 29 countries examined by

the survey, the murder rate in South Africa far outstripped its nearest

rival, Russia. In South Africa 57.52 murders were committed per 100,000

people, whereas Russia had 20.2 per 100,000. The rate for the USA was

6.26 per 100,000. In Britain the figure was lower than 3%.

In 1998 the average crime increase of the 29 countries was 4.7% on the

previous year, but South Africa’s increase was 37%. From 1994, when the

communist ANC took power, to 1998, crime in South Africa rose by 40%.

Tim Butcher Telegraph’s representative in South Africa, wrote in its

weekly issue 568 that, “The scale of South Africa’s crime epidemic does

not register with the outsider until they experience it. Only then is it

possible to see how crime is rotting the soul of South Africa, driving good

people away and threatening every corner of society.”

Jani Allan, a popular correspondent for a Johannesburg Sunday newspaper,

who experienced a reluctant “brief encounter” with the one-time

fire-eating leader of the AWB (Afrikaner Resistance Movement) Eugene

Terre Blanche, who at the time, was filling halls and stadia with his

searing but empty bluster, returned to South Africa in 1996, after an

absence of 8 years, and reported her experiences for the International

Express on July 17, 1996. Jani says she was met at the airport by her

friend Kate who was wearing a T-shirt that read, “1 serious crime is

committed every 17 seconds; 1 murder every 219 minutes 12 seconds; 1

( 35 )

violent assault every 3 minutes 328 seconds; 1 car hijacked every 5

minutes 39 seconds, Living in hell and loving it!”

She went on to say, “In this country of 42 million (of whom five million

are Whites) there are only four mil lion tax payers. These are the most

highly taxed in the world … in Britain the inflation rate is 2.2%; in South

Africa it is 16%.

“Kate is 36 and, like most of her peer group, has impeccable liberal

credentials. She ardently supported the ANC during its years in exile but

like most of her peer group feels the honeymoon is over. “I’m tired of the

ANC making me feel guilty for being White, heterosexual and a smoker.

This, “we are poor because you are rich” is something only an intellectual

is stupid enough to believe. I’m tired of having to give to a different

beggar at every traffic light.”…My dinner companions decided that corruption

is the only discernible growth industry, and that 50% of the

population is unemployed.”

Kate, like so many disillusioned liberals, including the irascible Dame

Helen Suzman, who lately declared that the ‘apartheid’ government was

better than the present set up, have either bolted to a safer haven or live

behind burglar bars.

Anybody who still has a modicum of civilization left in them must agree

with Helen Suzman. When they read the clippings I have on my desk.

“Baby raped: six arrested” reads this headline. Another baby of 9 months

was tested for Aids after being raped and sodomized, a victim of the

myth, that “sex with a virgin will protect a man against Aids.” An Argus

editorial on 3 December 2001 sounded shocked when a 5 month old baby

was also raped and sodomized.

“Since democracy came to South African 1994,” runs another Argus

report, “Cape Town has become a second home to … a band of international

drug barons.” In February of 1996 the Argus reported that there

were 278 organized crime syndicates in South Africa, who dealt mainly

in drugs, diamond and vehicle theft. And listen to this, from Tony Leon,

leader of the Democratic Party: “South Africa has lost three times more

( 36 )

lives through murder in the past 10 years than the United States has lost

in the whole of the Vietnam War.” No wonder the streets of our big cities

are regarded as more dangerous than a war zone.

Here’s a little snippet to make your day. One Patrick Mbus Msani (26)

told the police that he had eaten five (5) people including his neighbour.

He confessed, with some regret, that he would have eaten two more, but

they escaped. (Report from News 24 7/5/2001.) And just in case you were

unsure, Anglican Bishop of Pretoria Joe Seoka told a conference on

racism at the University of Pretoria, that “Racism is a White sin. It is

impossible for a black to be racist.” And so it goes in the New South

Africa on and on.

Perhaps I should add some African culture to this article. Who better than

the late, lamented leader of the SA Communist Party, Chris Hani, for

whose demise Clive Derby-Lewis is under sentence of death in a South

African jail. The following is from his poem, “Uhuru Day”. “I will rape

their daughters, I will kill the living, I will murder the unborn. And curse

the Whites dead. For it is they who raped mother Africa. For it is they

who oppress my Black people. I will hang them on trees, I will burn … ,

I shall kill with all the strength I have. Kill! Fragment! and eliminate all

that is White! For I will be paving a way for Uhuru day. The time to free

ourselves has come, Blood will ooze! Blood will flow. And blood will

flood the rivers of Africa. And the Black man will have his freedom.”

We cannot deny that he meant what he said, nor that he was as good as

his word.

The last word I bring to you is from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on

the occasion of her visit to this country during the 100 year commemoration

of the Boer War.

“President Mbeki, Ladies and Gentlemen, I am grateful to you and your

predecessor (Nelson Mandela) for inviting me to pay a visit to South

Africa … I am particularly fortunate since Prince Philip and I were

welcomed here only four and a half years ago, a visit which is still vivid

( 37 )

in our memories. No one can forget the great surge of joy and optimism,

which followed the change to democratic rule in South Africa.

“Since that visit, so much has improved in South Africa. So much has

been accomplished: in the economy, in the lives of disadvantaged people

and, above all, in the progress in this country towards a truly multiracial

society.

“Much of this has been due to the vision and statesmanship shown in

making difficult short-term sacrifices in the interest of long-term goals …

The vibrancy and optimism which Prince Philip and I met in 1995 are still

here. They are now accompanied by a confidence in the New South

Africa’s ability to meet the challenges, which lie ahead. South Africa is

set fair to become a symbol of how African countries can combine

democratic accountability, economic success and improved living standards.

“I know, Mr. President, that your ambition is exactly that. Those values

lie at the heart of an African Renaissance … You Mr. President, are at the

head of those who argue that good government is, in its principles, a

universal value…

“Mr. President, Prince Philip and I have already received the warmest of

welcomes on our arrival in South Africa. We look forward over the next

few days to seeing more of your country and its people. It is a great

pleasure for us both to be back here again.

“Ladies and gentlemen, may 1 ask you to rise and drink a toast to the

President and people of South Africa.”

Good Lord! Does our Queen live in a cocoon? does she never read a

newspaper?

UPDATE ON SOUTH

AFRICAN

HISTORY

With the Boer/Afrikaners losing the war against the British Empire in

1902, the destruction of the farms and that of family life had to be built

again. The assault against the Afrikaners did not stop with the peace

treaty on 31st May, 1902, the British then started to Anglicise the Afrikaner.

The soul of the people was not destroyed, they lifted themselves

up and started rebuilding.

The British then allowed home rule and in the 1910 the Union of South

Africa was born. All four provinces then came under one government

with the Republics of the Orange Free State and Zuid-Afrikaansche

Republic [South African Republic (Transvaal)] incorporated together

with the Cape Province and Natal with General Louis Botha as the first

Prime Minister. The spirit to keep fighting for a free Republic never

ceased and with the outbreak of WW I, there was a rebellion as most of

the Afrikaners saw England as the enemy and therefore refused to fight

the Germans. The National Party was still on the sideline, but growing

stronger with General J.B.M. Hertzog, the founder of the party. With the

outbreak of WW II the same scenario took place with the birth of the

Ossewbrandwag, an organization against supporting England, as the

main purpose was to establish a free Afrikaner Republic.

The South African Party of General Jan Smuts was then in power and

hundreds of Afrikaners were arrested and put in prison or in internment

camps. Brother fought brother. Notwithstanding the oppression and hard

times more organizations were born to help the Afrikaners to establish

themselves in the corporate world. Banks and mining houses were in the

hands of the Afrikaners.

( 39 )

In 1948 General Jan Smuts and his liberal allies were defeated and the

National Party with General J.B.M. Hertzog as first national Prime

Minister took over.

The spirit of freedom and the wish for independence from Britain never

ceased and with a referendum in 1961 the majority voted for the break

from England and the Republic of South Africa was born. The first

President was Advocate C. R. Swart, with Dr. H.F. Verwoerd as Prime

Minister.

The enemy just worked harder to try and destroy the Afrikaner and the

most prosperous country on the continent of Africa was only allowed to

be for 5 short years when Dr. H. F. Verwoerd was assassinated and the

traitors with the leadership of Attorney Vorster took over. The undermining

of the National Party then started in all earnest and the process took

from the acceleration on 6 September 1966 when Dr. H. F. Verwoerd was

assassinated to 2004 to completely wipe the existence of this party off the

map of the Republic of South Africa.

In 1969 a son of General Hertzog, Dr. Albert Hertzog walked out of

parliament with other members to found the Herstige Nasionale Party

(Reconstructed National Party) He had the vision to know that the

National Party was on the wrong road and would eventually cease to exist.
