🚨 3,000 WHITE CROSSES PLANTED ON NATIONAL MALL FOR SOUTH AFRICAN FARM-ATTACK VICTIMS A temporary memorial of 3,000 white crosses was installed on Washington’s National Mall on Sept. 26 following a White Cross Project conference at the National Press Club. Organizers Lex Libertas say the crosses commemorate victims of South African farm murders dating back to the early 1990s. Its preliminary verified register listed more than 2,203 names, with additional cases still being reviewed. Lex Libertas said thousands visited the memorial, including victims’ families and U.S. government representatives. The scale and racial interpretation of South Africa’s farm-attack crisis remain politically disputed.

🇿🇦 What the hell is happening in South Africa? Tucker takes a hard look at the country’s explosive racial tensions, digging into how race, political power and South Africa’s history are colliding today. "The reality is racist: The government treats people differently on the basis of their skin color, and if you have the wrong skin color, you can get hurt, raped or killed." It’s uncomfortable, deeply divisive and almost guaranteed to make people angry, which is exactly why the underlying facts and competing claims deserve scrutiny. Source: @TCNetwork / Writer: Val

Thousands of white crosses bearing the names of people killed in South African farm attacks have been planted on the National Mall in Washington D.C., bringing the country's bitter dispute over violence against farmers and Afrikaners directly to the U.S. capital. The White Cross Project, organized by South African think tank Lex Libertas, installed 3,000 crosses following a conference at Washington’s National Press Club. Organizers say each cross represents a victim of a farm murder in South Africa since the early 1990s. Lex Libertas Executive Director Ernst Roets said thousands visited the temporary memorial, including victims and their families, members of the public, researchers and representatives from the White House, State Department and other government agencies. Italian influencer and campaigner Lorenzo Caccialupi, who traveled to South Africa earlier this year, said he had personally spoken to survivors of farm attacks and families who had lost relatives. “I spoke with survivors of this farm attack. I spoke with people who have lost their family, their family members,” Caccialupi said.

I love the fact that a South African pilot helped save the FlyDubai flight after the Israeli passengers overpowered the terrorist. This must be especially difficult for haters in South Africa to accept and I hope they have to chew on it for a while. A better world is within reach
🚨New info on the attack onboard Fly Dubai to Tel Aviv: copilot who attempted to down the plane: an Omani national. Two additional pilots who were on board the plane and safely landed the plane - South African and New Zealand nationals. Israeli security officials describe the safe landing of the aircraft as a miracle.

AfriForum should not get involved in debating the word "genocide". If you're debating terminology with liberals you're losing. Don't take the bait, getting you to debate semantics is a known liberal trick. This is like debating whether someone was "murdered" or "assassinated".
AfriForum CEO Kallie Kriel says the organisation “differs” with US President Donald Trump’s use of the term “white genocide”. ebx.sh/OrTIWb

South Africa and Rhodesia used to have space programs.
Community note
South Africa had a military rocket program in the 1980s with suborbital tests that was discontinued in 1994 before orbital launches; its first satellite was in 1999. Rhodesia had no space program; Zimbabwe's first satellite launched in 2022. sacsa.gov.za/space-in-south… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_o… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZimSat-1

South Africa needs a decentralized government. "Our argument is not to return to the past, it is the opposite," says Dr. Ernst Roets of Lex Libertas, "it is to move beyond that which defined the political system in the past and continues to define it today."

In South Africa, there is an official political party that calls for the assassination of White farmers as a rallying cry, yet the world’s powers do nothing about it. I doubt they would remain so silent if the target were any other race.
South Africa is the most violent country on the planet with tens of thousands murdered each year, and many of the victims are targeted for being White farmers. It's time to stand up for them.

There has been a fair amount of criticism on this report and the White Cross Project in general. There was no discussion that these crosses represent solely "white farmers." In fact, emphasis was made to explain that not all farm attack victims are white and that this issue impacts multiple minority groups in South Africa. The organizers freely admitted that the total killed represent only a small number of the total murders that occur in South Africa every year (Roughly 60/day). From the Lex Libertas website, "Three thousand crosses containing the names of people murdered during farm attacks in South Africa." There was discussion about the current laws in South Africa that due seem to have a racial bias against certain demographics. Multiple comments about the evils of Apartheid which ended in 1994. This is the "two things can be true at once discussion." They do want many of these crimes to be considered "hate crimes" based on their brutality and propensity to include torture.
"I cannot think of a single method of torture; I cannot even make one up in my mind that hasn't been used." 3,000 crosses were placed next to the Washington Monument to commemorate the farm attacks in South Africa since 1990. @ErnstRoets of @LexLibertasOnX walks through the memorial and shares some of the attacks and murders. We stop in front of the three crosses for the Vaina family as Ernst recounts the massacre that took place on October 1, 2011, at their home in Walkerville. Even the dog was brutally killed. @StefanoLforte and the @NYYRC delivered a wreath in remembrance. President Cyril Ramaphosa has explicitly stated that "there is just no genocide in South Africa." President Trump pushed back in a meeting with the SA President. "White farmers are being brutally killed and their land is being confiscated in South Africa." South Africa averages roughly 60 murders daily including two mass shootings yesterday that left 27 people dead. @BorderHawkNews

nicole-barlow.com/articles/w… What the crosses in Washington really say about South Africa The greatest failure here is not the person who puts up a cross. Nor is it the person who objects to the cross. The greatest failure is a political system that has allowed South Africans to become accustomed to extraordinary levels of violence.

Yet again, lamestream media lied. @LexLibertasOnX, @NYYRC, and many others came to Washington to raise awareness about the brutal attacks on the Afrikaner people. I was happy to join them in that fight.

Thanks for chatting with me! 🙏🏻 Always have hope. That’s my message to the South Africans who fear for their lives, due to the colour of their skin. Mainstream media are useless, however, content creators and independent journalists are hearing your stories now. You are not alone. White Lives Matter. 🤍
Why would a British/American content creator care about what is happening thousands of miles away in South Africa? I spoke to @TheJadeWarwick at the White Cross Vigil in Washington, D.C. about why she believes Americans aren't hearing enough about farm murders, why she feels compelled to use her platform to raise awareness, and her message to South Africans. “Keep your faith. Be strong... and keep telling your stories.”
