...the federal government informed Episcopal Migration Ministries that under the terms of our federal grant, we are expected to resettle white Afrikaners from South Africa whom the U.S. government has classified as refugees.
In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice and reconciliation and our historic ties with the Anglican Church of Southern Africa, we are not able to take this step. Accordingly, we have determined that, by the end of the federal fiscal year, we will conclude our refugee resettlement grant agreements with the U.S. federal government. Dated May 12, 2025 Source
"Fact checkers" dispute that white, South African farmers are targets of genocide. They say there is inadequate proof. A quick reality check: Wikipedia is not immune to political subversion and intellectual vandalism.
The fact that very large numbers of farmers are walking away (if they can) from viable, multi-generational businesses is telling. Those farms are their primary source of wealth and they are walking away from them. Normal humans don't do that unless they are under enormous stress.
Another piece of data that buttresses the claim that white farmers in South Africa are targeted is that one of the major political party's encourage the chant "Kill the Boers" at political rallies and the South African Supreme Court ruled that it is not Hate Speech.
This story is a predictable as a Fast and Furious movie. Same motives. Same plot. Same actors. Same outcomes as what happened in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe

The Ministry of TRUTH says.... Orwell wrote 1984 as a Warning, not an operating manual.
ReplyDeleteI ponder where Jesus said don't feed, clothe or shelter folks not of your political party.
We are in a spiritual battle, have been in such forever. This pseudo-church is just a fever symptom of that.
Nothing new as was true even before the Apostles were dead.
2 Timothy 4:3
Preach the Word
…2Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…

The parents of one of my school classmates had been a UK expat in what was then Southern Rhodesia, and his elder sister was still living there with her husband at the time of Ian Smith's independence declaration. The family were seriously worried for their safety. Unfortunately I lost touch with the classmate so don't know how they fared as things turned really nasty in the transition to Zimbabwe, but as a white/mixed race couple the omens didn't look good.

According to a different press release, 97% of the EMM budget comes from the Federal government. "...hundreds of staff in resettlement agencies around the country have been laid off..." when Trump created an air-bubble in funding as NGO contracts were re-evaluated. Oh, the horrors.
ReplyDeleteSo, rather than dealing with a temporary air-bubble in funding and helping evil whyte people, the EMM insists on cutting off its nose to spite....Trump? Presumably, 97% of their staff must be laid off. I wonder how they feel about Bishop Rowe's virtual signaling.
Not that I, as a conservative am distressed by getting the Federal government out of the business of "buying" NGO store-fronts.
Any bets on the year when the "darkies" start asking the "white folks" to come back and grow some food for them?
ReplyDeleteOh! Just like Zim..however you spell it. Same story. Took the land from people who knew what to do with it. Gave to political hacks. Everyone starved. No doubt we are two years from a plea for UN food aid.
DeleteSince they're no longer enjoining charity work, perhaps we should remove their tax-exempt status until they can prove they're anti-racist? Because this looks like they're racist. Perhaps the USGov should claim breach of contract.

ReplyDeleteI remember when two lesbian "priests" occupied the church of Lee and Jefferson. One of their first acts was to take down Lee and Jefferson's portraits, because they might be offensive. Probably the national church confisciated the building from what was the parish.

The United States immigration code makes clear distinctions between "economic refugees" and "political refugees".
DeleteThe economic refugees want to come to the US to get jobs and (often) to send the money back home.
The political refugees, like the non-fundamentalist Muslims and non-Muslims in Syria, are at risk of being executed because they were born in the wrong sect or wrong religion.
Since the US strongly expedites political refugees over economic, many wanna-be economic refugees posture as "political" refugees. Ironically, once they have valid visas, many of the "faux political refugees" go back to their home countries on vacation.
Are you disputing that white, Afrikaner farmers are politically discriminated against and the lives of they and their families and workers are at risk? If you think that is bullshit, then there is no middle-ground for discussion.
But that is OK. You can believe what you believe. I will believe what I believe.
As far as I'm concerned, white Afrikaner farmers are more than welcome in the USA. We can always use more experienced farmers. It would also be nice if they can start using some of that communist Chinese bought farmland her in the states.
DeleteHas nothing to do with the risk to SA farmers which is tenable given the exploitive history they created but the hypocrisy of the Trump regime trying to have it both ways does. Laying out the carpet for white farmers and excluding others sends a clear message while mouthing that the policy is non discriminatory is hilarious.
