If the goal was a prosperous and well fed South Africa that advice and example from history would be noted but for Marxists and Socialists the goals are not a prosperous and well fed South Africa but a South Africa governed by prosperous and well fed Marxist Socialists.

There is a lot of news out there this week from the China deal to the release of the final American hostage from Gaza.
But for my money the biggest news is the decision by the Episcopal Church to terminate its entire refugee program rather than resettle 5 dozen South African white farmers.
Why do I think it’s a big story? Just this.
The story of what South Africa has become since the death of Nelson Mandela is one of the most ignored stories in the world. How a country with incredible mineral wealth, a strong farm system managed to peacefully transfer from a system of apartheid under Mandela but when he retired fell into kleptocracy and corruption to the point were it is one of the most unsafe nations in the world with unemployment huge, rape a norm and lack of electricity and infrastructure all brought to you thanks to the Marxists of the ANC. The MSM hasn’t touched this story but I’ve been covering it for years.
While whites are now down to 9% of the population and dropping and it’s been over 27 years since Mandela has left power the ANC is till blaming whites for all the problems due to their quarter century of stealing to the point where their political leaders are literally calling for the death of these farmers publicly.
Now if the Episcopal church was an actual Christian church whose primary mission was to follow the teachings of Christ resettling these people would be a no-brainer particularly given the tens of thousands they have dealt with in the Biden years and before.
But the reality here is that their loyalty is to the politics of the left and to Marxism and because the failures and the violence of the ANC can’t be acknowledged by the left nor can any move by Donald Trump be considered legitimate their church is choosing to end their refugee program rather than help resettle these 60 people, not because this violates Christian values, but it violates their political values.
C. S, Lewis had these types pegged in Screwtape 7:
“Once you have made the World an end, and faith a means, you have almost won your man, and it makes very little difference what kind of worldly end he is pursuing. Provided that meetings, pamphlets, policies, movements, causes, and crusades, matter more to him than prayers and sacraments and charity, he is ours – and the more ‘religious’ (on those terms) the more securely ours.”
That what was one a mainline protestant faith has now fallen to this is not a huge surprise to me, those who were interested in actually belief left long ago but that it should openly reject charity is a critical turning point that speaks volumes about those who have made politics their religion.
I recommend worshiping and following Christ over worshiping leftism and political ideology, the former is very merciful and forgiving and the later demands vengeance for the slightest infraction.
