On Friday 1 June 2001, around 8 am, farmer Jannie Visser (40) and one of his farm workers walked out of the farmhouse on Kleinveld in the Koue Bokkeveld near Ceres/Op-die-Berg in the Western Cape to check a fire burning roughly 100 metres away. Three men were waiting. One of them opened fire and shot Jannie in the chest. He dropped where he stood and died on the spot. The worker bolted and ran about four kilometres to the nearest farmhouse for help. When police arrived at the house, they found his wife, Annelize Visser (33) dead. She had been hiding behind a bedroom door when she was shot in the head. The attackers took nothing. The couple’s three children (aged 8, 11 and 13) were at school. Community members, police and the air force launched a search. Late that afternoon three men, Parlement Ngulube, Elliot Samela and Mpisa Kroze, were arrested. An Uzi sub-machinegun, a Luger pistol and a rifle believed to have been used in the attack were recovered, hidden under a rock. Minister Thoko Didiza attended the funeral and called for the killers to be “dealt with harshly,” claiming the quick arrests showed the rural safety plan was working. (If it was working, no-one would be dead). The usual empty words while another White farming couple was executed and their children orphaned.

🚨🚨 Un proceso simple para los dolores de cabeza... Paso 1: Coloca una pequeña pizca de sal, se recomienda sal marina natural sin refinar celta, directamente debajo de la lengua... Paso 2: Espera unos segundos para que la sal se disuelva y sea absorbida directamente a través de la mucosa oral... Paso 3: Inmediatamente después, bebe un vaso lleno de agua. Resultado prometido: El dolor de cabeza o migraña desaparecerá en menos de 5 minutos. Absorción rápida...La colocación sublingual permite que los minerales de la sal entren directamente en el torrente sanguíneo, evitando el sistema digestivo. Equilibrio electrolítico...El contenido de sodio restaura rápidamente los niveles de electrolitos en la sangre. Detener el dolor...Este mecanismo reduce la hinchazón de los vasos sanguíneos en el cerebro, bloqueando así las señales de migraña antes de que el dolor se intensifique.

Keith Jarrett’s solo performance of “Over the Rainbow” in Tokyo in 1984 is widely regarded as one of the most outstanding and moving piano solo covers of all time. Rather than simply restating the familiar melody, the legendary pianist infused the piece with new life through his brilliant improvisation, refined harmonic structure, and profound emotional depth.

Ejection from a Su-25 through the eyes of a pilot. This is probably the first time in history that such footage of an ejection has been filmed in combat conditions, and at an extremely low altitude.

🚨 TRUTH: This young French woman just said what millions of Europeans are THINKING, and she says she could be PROSECUTED for it. She watched the historic Limoges town hall burn and said what every patriot feels: it's not "just a building." Her ancestors built France, and she's done apologizing for it. She says the open-borders crowd's "suicidal empathy" is killing her country, and she's right. France let in millions, put them on the welfare state, and the native middle class is getting taxed into the ground to pay for it. Now Paris, Lyon, Marseille, and Limoges are on fire. A country that won't defend its own people won't stay a country for long. America, take notes.
I’m furious and heartbroken to see my country like this. I could be prosecuted for this, but so be it. It needs to be said. Our empathy is killing us. I stand with MY people, and they’re not my people. Share this. We’ve had enough, and time is running out for France.

🕊️ 🇫🇷 Il y a 3 ans jour pour jour, le 18 octobre 2023, Fabienne Broly Verhaeghe, 68 ans, infirmière à la retraite, mère de 4 enfants, grand-mère de 9 petits-enfants a été retrouvée VI0LÉE et T0RTURÉE à son domicile à Lille. Elle a été retrouvée ÉG0RGÉE dans la cuisine, baignant dans une MARE DE S@NG, le bas du corps dénudé. Elle avait reçu plus de 40 COUPS DE COUTEAU, dont plusieurs à la gorge. Elle avait également subi une AGR€SSION SEXU€LLE À L’AIDE D’UN COUTEAU, au niveau des parties génitales. La famille a décrit un véritable ACHARNEMENT, évoquant notamment un SCALP et des MAINS TAillADÉES. Elle est finalement morte par asphyxie et hémorragie. Son meurtrier, Mohamed Bamba, un MIGRANT Ivoirien de 17 ans en situation irrégulière, SOUS OQTF, venait tout juste d’arriver en France. Il était suivi depuis plusieurs années pour des troubles psychiatriques. La victime a été retrouvée défigurée, baignant dans son sang. N’oublions jamais Fabienne ! 😭 💔
