For many years various South African and international extremist right winged groups have held as the centre piece of their world view the idea that their is a white persecution happening in the Post Apartheid South Africa. Some groups going to far as to suggest genocide.

The entire premise behind this persecution was based on a single piece of evidence.

The list.

The list is a so called list of over 3000 white farmers names who have been murdered since 1994. In the following few blogs as you will observe I will entirely take part the list piece by piece with some basic research into its validity. But before I do so let me explain why I go to such efforts and offer some apologies to anyone whose lost loved ones might get caught up in this ugly saga.

It is not my intention to sweep over the tragedy and trauma of the very real crime situation in South Africa. At the the same time I do no longer want to sit idly by and watch as this list swallows in more and more unwitting minds and poisons them into race based hatred. I take comfort in knowing if the names of my dead loved ones were being used for such a ugly and divisive purpose I would not appreciate it.

So who wrote this list ?

Adriana Striujt. A retired South African journalist living in the Netherlands.

I am of the opinion that she knowingly has set out to mislead and has deliberately posted individuals she clearly knows not to be farmers, or as you will see, to not even be dead on her list. As this blog moves along we wll move into looking into the motives of her list and how people from both sides have been duped and for what sinister purpose.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. First the evidence.


Question 1: Are there even 3000 names on the list ?


Like almost everything on the list it relies upon the same one trick. IE : You won't read it or question it. It assumes you have a media fueled confirmation bias that won't make you skeptical of it.

The list claims there are 3,786 names on it.



Short of counting them I inserted the list into microsoft word and numbered the bullets and checked to see it wasn't missing anything.


The result ?


1165.

Question 2 : Are all the people on the list even dead ?

So remembering it's a list of under 1200 people, are these people even all murdered ?

The short answer is no.

I started off by looking at the tourist the list claims have been murdered because I know how rare tourist murders are in S.A and had neer heard of these. Firstly it should be obvious that tourists are not white South Africans farmers. But when you look further. They're not even dead.

Take these three folks who appear on the list.

BARBIERI RITA (TOURIST ITALY)

BLAIR ANDREW (LONDON TOURIST)BLAIR JOCELYN ( LONDON TOURIST)

http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/uk-couple-robbed-outside-their-hotel-1.314128

So here we haven't even alphabetically gotten past B and this should be going off in your head.

Meet the two Marcs.

Marc Conbrinck and Marc Waldon are both listed as murdered. The location : table bay in 2007.

Truth ?

Not even close. They were involved and injured in a "road rage" incident by a guy named Alberto Saunders. Not only did this not happen on a farm , they weren't killed and no black person had anything to do with it.

This was genuinely the first random search I did after the tourists and it's not even true. Wow. Couldn't she even find actual murdered white people to make up list of under 1200 ? I mean even if they were at least dead then she could still somehow validate including them on the list even though they aren't farmers. The problem of violent crime affecting whites must be way less serious than even I thought !

Wow, just wow !

Ask yourselves people, why is this woman lying ?

Question 3 : Is this a list of white people ?

Remember it's a list of less than 1200 people, many of whom are not even murdered or dead. Is the list of white people ?

Again, no.

Before I even get to C.

BAINSVLEI FARM 4 FARM WORKERS KILLED BY TSWANA MEN WHO CARVED 'ANC' ON FARM WORKERS' BACK: 2010

Question 4 : Is this a list of farmers ?

So far three things are resoundingly clear. The list has less than 1200 names, they were 100% not all mudered, and it's not made up of only white people. This is matter of absolute unquestionable fact.

So are they at least farmers ?

Again, a resounding straight forward, no nonsense, no tricks, NO.


Before I even get half way through B,. we find these people who are not farmers.

I will stop there because I used to live in the suburb of Walmer Park in P.E. This can not even remotely in the most liberal sense be described as a farming area. Not even a "peri urban" area. The same goes for the others I have listed.

LIAR.

So around about this time you are probbly wondering why has she made up this pack of lies ? We're not quite done exposing them all yet, but rest assured we will move onto that question.
